The Learning Center services provide space and tutoring to children with learning differences. The pilot service program will go until the end of June 2015.

“There’s always room for additional resources, I believe, for families who have individuals who learn differently,” said Kathy Ralston, parent and Learning Center board member.

Ralston presented with several other board members the background and goals of The Learning Center to Creston School Board during its regularly scheduled meeting Monday.

Overall, 96 percent of people eligible to purchase a qualified health plan could choose from two or more health insurers on the marketplace, the report found.

The Department of Health and Human Services said that new issuers represent about 26 percent of all issuers in the marketplace and Consumer Operated and Oriented Plans tended to have lower premi-

ums than other plans.

Early reports from states across the nation suggest that additional issuers will be entering the marketplace in 2015.

On a conference call with reporters, senior HHS officials said they still are collecting data from states that are not on the federal marketplace.

LEARNING CENTER: Continued from Page 1

“An entity like this, to me, as a new member of the community, shows a community investment. It shows that leaders of the community are investing in all citizens,” Ralston said.

Ralston and the other present board members, including Board President Dick Fries, Board Vice President Suzanne Johnston, retired East Union teacher and guidance counselor Jean Sheridan and board member Dave Beck, laid out the different goals the organization had for itself.

Goals The main goal of the Learning Center is teaching children with disorders like dyslexia, forms of autism or dyscalculia how to learn.

Through nearly two years of research, looking at other national learning centers and hosting workshops to teach different learning strategies, such as the most recent one with Chris Woodin of Landmark School in Massachusetts, The Learning Center has gathered information relevant to its needs.

“Our vision is that these children, their families and the schools that educate them will have access to research-based services and training which are needed to reach the potential of successful, life-long learners,” Ralston said.

During the school board meeting, Ralston and the others presented statewide and local statistics to sup-

Clarification In Tuesday’s Creston News Advertiser, the original estimate of the new bus barn was printed incorrectly.

Creston School District’s new bus barn had an original estimate between $600,000 and $700,000. Insurance for the original bus barn, which was destroyed in a tornado April 2012, will pay for approximately $450,000 of the total cost of the new bus barn.

OPINION Writing clips for future generations

As I filled up my coffee thermos Tuesday morning at Adams Street Espresso, my uncle Rich Waddingham told me to wait as he rushed to the back of the store.

He came back with two pieces of paper. It was a photocopy of The Cerro Gordo Farmer of an old newspaper article.

I’ve always had an interest in collecting old newspapers. I have a copy of the Creston News Advertiser from the day President John F. Kennedy was shot more than 50 years ago and a copy of the edition that covered the Villisca ax murder.

Thinking my uncle knew about my passion for newspapers, I

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham associate editor

thought it was just an old article he found interesting. As I started reading, it turned out to be something much more valuable.

“Tenth Child Is Born to Lakers Operating 480” the headline read at the top of the page. The lede of the story was about the birth of my father, Kevin, as the newest member to Arnett Waddingham’s clan.

The article was written by John

Schwichtenberg on Nov. 23, 1959.

He recently found the article and forwarded it on to my Great Aunt Helen Roth who forwarded it on to my aunts, uncles and father.

The family had recently moved to the 480-acre farm and they were completing an addition onto the house. The article quoted Carroll Peterson who was working on the house addition.

He said the Waddingham children were “just about the nicest” and best behaved he’s ever seen. It also described my grandpa’s back surgery to remove a disc and how my uncles managed the farm during his recovery.

Finding this piece of history

made my day and gave me a little extra zip — although that could have also been from the coffee — as I helped put together Tuesday’s paper.

If you haven’t noticed, we recently redesigned the front page of our paper, updating the masthead with a new font and eagle. We also made the weather graphic easier to read and moved the front page advertisement.

Every morning we piece together your stories and design them to look as attractive as possible. We try to pump in as much local content as possible and include pictures of local faces and events.

While I hope the articles we

write and the photos we take make an immediate impact, I also hope if someone picks up the Creston News Advertiser in 50 years it also has an impact.

Some of the stories are fun to write as we meet with great people who represent our coverage area well. Others are challenging, but are also a part of what will someday be our history.

I hope you like the redesign. I know a lot of people here at the paper put a lot of thought and effort into making it look good.

I have already tucked away my copy of the new look with the rest of my collection so I can show it off years from now.

The White House mulled the terrorist threat to Baghdad HOLLYWOOD — Happy Wednesday, everybody, and God bless America.

The White House mulled the terrorist threat to Baghdad Monday. Everyone offered their expertise. Kerry suggested collaboration with Iran, the Pentagon pushed Special Forces and the president suggested a few rounds of golf between the Sunnis and Shias, the winner take Iraq.

John Kerry told a climate change conference Monday the ocean is threatened by climate change, pollution and by unsustainable fishing practices. He’s in charge of U.S. foreign policy. All this talk about weather and he didn’t hear that the five-day forecast for Baghdad is two days.

Al-Qaeda’s terrorist army roiled Iraq, reviving anger at George H.W. Bush for demonizing Saddam Hussein in the first place. It was a mistake. George H.W. Bush periodically tries to apologize for what he did, but someone keeps strapping a parachute to him just before he jumps.

John Kerry left open the possibility Monday that the U.S. may coordinate with Iran against the ISIS rebels. It’s a lovely neighborhood. The general rule is, if you’re forced to choose between hostage takers, go with the ones who give you bathroom breaks and don’t behead you.

The White House decided to provide Iraq with aerial overhead coverage of the terrorist army’s advance on Baghdad Sunday.

The Iraqis are understandably excited. They’ve seen Skycams used in NFL games but they never thought the Super Bowl would come to Baghdad.

The U.S. Navy sent aircraft carriers into the Persian Gulf to mon-

itor al-Qaeda of Iraq’s advance on Baghdad. We could do more.

If President Obama really wants to get rid of al-Qaeda of Iraq he should declare it a conservative non-profit group and let the IRS take them out.

The World Cup drew huge crowds in Brazil as national teams battled it out on the soccer pitch.

The event is an acquired taste.

Most Americans would rather watch their daughters’ soccer matches than the World Cup because the World Cup doesn’t offer two moms in a fist fight.

Russia’s national soccer team arrived in Brazil Monday riding a wave of nine consecutive victories before Tuesday’s opener with South Korea in Group H with Belgium and Algeria. The Russian soccer team morale is sky high.

Their motto is, if you can’t beat them, invade them.

President Obama passed his annual physical last week in the White House examination room.

No president looks forward to going through this. President Obama gave the White House doctor five Taliban prisoners in exchange for taking his word that his prostate’s just fine.

Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl’s father Bob Bergdahl was discovered Friday to have allegedly stalked young women in Idaho three years ago. The law defines it as a crime.

Stalking is when two people go out on a long romantic stroll together and only one of them knows about it.

Letters to the editor

Stealing at cemeteries breaks trust From Joy Foster Casey

Graceland Cemetery always looks beautiful at Memorial Day. I grew up in Creston and have relatives buried at the Graceland Cemetery. Every year my family decorates those gravesites. My parents usually water our flowers and then retrieve them at the end of the decoration period because we want to care for the flowers at home or reuse the planters for the

next year.

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance. Well, we have a new memory for the holiday.

For the past three (3) years someone has stolen the live flowers from my dad’s, Warren Lee Case, grave. He has been deceased for 43 years. I wouldn’t think much of one year but THREE years in a row is too much, and why? I don’t understand what the world has come to when someone steals

flowers off a gravesite. Were the flowers taken to decorate someoneelse’s gravesite or taken home to decorate their yard?

I’ve heard of stealing merchandise from a store, vehicles, money and a person’s trust. But why would someone steal flowers at a cemetery? These graves are sites of deceased loved ones. Does the thief think no one will know? We know! And you have not only stolen our flowers but our trust in people.

Celebrating Flag Day From Marsha A. Wilson, United States Navy (retired) Creston

Saturday was an awful windy day, but the flags were flying in Creston. I wish I would have taken the time to get the ladies names.

One of the flags on Montgomery and Maple went flying across the street. The lady in the front car just stopped got out and rescued the flag. The lady right behind realized she was too short to get the flag back in the holder, so she got out and helped.

I happened to be on Montgomery Street and saw these two wonderful ladies trying to get the flag back in the holder. I stopped and thanked them for doing this and then proceeded to place the flag

back.

In the meantime, the three cars that were behind these kind ladies proceeded to honk their horn for them to move on out of the street intersection. Rude, rude, rude!

Those of us who have worn the uniform and those that still do, those who have lost their life protecting our country, those of us who were held as POWs, along with every veteran in this town, say THANK YOU LADIES FOR CARING! For those of you who honked your horn, you might recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

And for a little extra, the Ameri-

can Creed.

“I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.”

Love or leave it, if you chose to leave, I will help you pack your bags.

Thank you ladies.

ENTERTAINMENT Flour ... 00 flour Dear Heloise: The other day, I saw a recipe for making pizza dough, which I love to do. It used something called “00 FLOUR.” What exactly is that, and where can I find it?

My local grocery stores did not have it. — M.T. in California This 00 flour is an Italian flour. The “00” is how the ground flour is classified, with the number “00” representing the finest grind. The reason this type of flour is used in pizza dough is because of its texture, which makes it very easy to work with, and because of its low gluten content. This helps make pizza crust light and soft.

If you cannot find it in your main grocery store, try a specialty grocery store, or order the flour online. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

Hints from Heloise My hint came to me while I was peeling potatoes with a vegetable peeler, a chore I don’t like to do. I retrieved my apple corer/parer from the cupboard. It’s the kind you force into one end of the apple (potato, in this case) and then turn the handle and the apple (potato) is peeled. As it goes through, the core is removed.

It works great on potatoes, and an extra benefit is that the now-skinless potato is in the form of a twisty fry. I either put it in boiling water to cook for mashed potatoes, or the fry can be deep-fried for a homemade treat just like at restaurants. It’s fast, easy and quick to clean up. — Rose G. in Ohio USE-BY DATE Dear Heloise: I have always wondered what a “use-by” date means. Does it mean the unopened product?

The products, opened or not, should still be good for use until the use-by date, or even after. The use-by date is set by the manufacturer, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

If you have stored the product properly and taken care of it, then it still should be good up to and after this date. — Heloise SQUEEZING LIMES Dear Heloise: I found the perfect kitchen tool to squeeze juice for my key lime pie: my garlic press!

The Numbers Game

The number of consecutive wins by the now first place Kansas City Royals.

National Digest

Royals in first DETROIT — It’s been over a decade since the Kansas City Royals were in first place this late in the season.

Alex Gordon and Mike Moustakas homered as part of a seven-run second inning, and the Royals displaced the Detroit Tigers atop the AL Central on Tuesday night with an 11-4 victory, their ninth in a row.

Kansas City is in first place this late in the season for the first time since 2003, according to STATS. The Royals were leading the division in late August that year, only to finish third at 83-79. They have not made the postseason since winning the World Series in 1985.

Kansas City has won the first two games of this four-game series emphatically. The Royals, who trailed the Tigers by seven games after a May 20 loss, now lead Detroit by a half-game.

Scherzer (8-3) yielded a career high-tying 10 runs in four-plus innings.

The reigning American League Cy Young Award winner allowed the first eight batters of the second inning to reach base, with Kansas City scoring six runs before making an out.

15 innings OMAHA, Neb. — Daniel Pinero’s sacrifice fly scored Thomas Woodruff in the bottom of the 15th inning to give Virginia a 3-2 victory Tuesday night in a game that matched the longest in the College World Series’ 66year history.

Pinero fouled off two squeeze-bunt attempts against Trey Teakell before he lofted a fly to center. Cody Jones’ throw toward home never had a chance. The Cavaliers’ bench and bullpen emptied, with everybody mobbing Pinero near second base.

Virginia (51-14), which had a walk-off win against Mississippi on Sunday in nine innings, plays Friday in its bracket final. TCU (48-17) plays Ole Miss in an elimination game Thursday.

Artie Lewicki (8-1) got the win, and Teakell (6-1) took the loss.

It was the longest game, as measured by innings, since Southern California beat Florida State 2-1 in 15 in the 1970 national championship game.

Altidore return?

SAO PAULO, Brazil — U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann is confident that striker Jozy Altidore can still play a role at this World Cup despite the strained left hamstring he suffered in the first half of the Americans’ 2-1 win over Ghana on Monday night.

Altidore had an MRI on his hamstring on Tuesday, and Klinsmann said the team would watch how he responds this week.

In the first half on Monday, Altidore was running down a ball with Ghana’s John Boye when he lowered his head to attempt to control it. He immediately grabbed the back of his left leg and fell to the ground in pain. He was replaced by Aron Johannsson.

Bad breaks cost Panthers in key H-10 game

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

The Creston Panthers just couldn’t get any breaks to go their way here Tuesday in a 3-1 Hawkeye 10 Conference loss to Glenwood.

Senior Brandon Phipps battled for the Panthers on the mound during the team’s “Battle Against Cancer” fundraiser, throwing 102 pitches and allowing eight hits with no walks and four strikeouts.

Four of those eight hits were infield singles. Another of those hits was a check swing that blooped a ball over Creston’s drawnin defense with a runner at third base, allowing a run to score, making it a 2-0 Glenwood lead in the fifth inning.

“I thought most of the little baseball things went their way,” Creston head coach Steve Birchard said.

“I said I think they’re going to turn for us, and they didn’t. You’re just hoping they do turn, and they didn’t. Just didn’t get the breaks tonight.”

Glenwood took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning, taking advantage of two throwing errors that gave the Rams two bases. The second error came with two outs, allowing an unearned run to score from third base.

“We had the one unearned run that gets them on the board in the second there,” Birchard said.

“Then it sort of gets them going. We just didn’t get timely hits, either. We never really mounted anything serious until the end there.”

With senior pitcher Lisa Nebel pitching two shutout innings, the Rams extended their lead to 4-0 in the top of the third inning.

At that point, Creston coach Mike McCabe told his young team that a comeback was possible. At Glenwood on June 2, the Panthers trailed 1-0 early in a 5-1 victory.

“I thought Lisa Nebel was really sharp for them early and they came out of the chute and popped us pretty good that first inning,” McCabe said. “I told the kids, ‘she brought her A game and we’re going to have to step it up a little.’ I told them we’ve been hitting good and we can do this.”

early for the Creston softball team here Tuesday night.

In a game to break a tie for third place in the Hawk-

win over Glenwood.

The top of the order caught fire with a two-out rally ignited by Taylor Briley, who had a 4-of-4 night at the plate.

Panther outburst Pitcher Haylee LaMasters sent a rocket RBI double to left and scored from third on a wild pitch. Jami Sickels, who finished with three RBI on three hits, tied the game with a two-run single.

An overthrow on her steal of third base allowed her to score the go-ahead run for a 5-4 Panther lead.

“I thought honest to God, one of the biggest at-bats of the night, other than some clutch hits to score runs, might have been Alyssa Higgins in that five-run third,” McCabe said. “She didn’t get a hit, but she had about three or four really good cuts in fouling off some pitches. I think everybody thought, OK, we can

hit this kid. Then we strung some hits together.

“I was proud of the kids for battling,” McCabe added. “We might not have done that 2 1/2 weeks ago.

So, I’d like to think there was growth on that side of it for us.”

LaMasters overcame the rocky start to finish with six strikeouts and two walks to pick up the victory, despite 13 base hits by the Rams.

She retired seven of the last eight batters she faced, ending with a running catch in center field by Josie Sickels.

“We were 2-0 a lot early and it’s hard pitching to good hitters when you’re behind in the count,” McCabe said. “Then you kind of have to come over the middle of the plate. Give Glenwood credit, they came out hitting.”

It became a battle of attrition, as there were a total of 25 hits and six errors in the game.

Taylor County achieves Skilled Iowa Community designation tiative helps develop the workforce by encouraging workers to earn the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC). Through an assessment, the NCRC measures basic workplace skills. Skilled Iowa encourages employers throughout the state to recognize the certificate and recommend it to job applicants. The benefit for employers is that it can help them evaluate job candidates and find the right worker for their needs, as well as reduce turnover and training costs.

Skilled Iowa aims to have 10 percent of businesses in Skilled Iowa Communities support the program by hiring certified workers and recommending the NCRC to job applicants, accounting for 20 percent of total employment in the area. In those communities, Skilled Iowa sets a goal of 5 percent of the current workforce becoming certified through the NCRC and 20 percent of the “transitioning” workforce — those receiving unemployment insurance or other specified IWD services – becoming certified.

DES MOINES – According to Iowa Workforce Development Director Teresa Wahlert, Taylor County has achieved the Skilled Iowa Community status by meeting all of the metrics for both business commitment and workforce certification.

“Through Skilled Iowa, we are preparing workers of all ages and skill levels to fill open positions,” Wahlert said. “Participation at the community level from local workers, businesses, elected officials and educational institutions will benefit the state as a whole.”

The Skilled Iowa Community announcement took place on Monday in Lenox.

Achieving the Skilled Iowa Community designation takes dedication and commitment from community leaders. The dedication and commitment to the initiative from Bedford Community Schools, Lenox Community Schools, Michael Foods Egg Products Company, Pursuit of Independence and Lenox Chamber of Commerce has driven the county’s success.
