day in the life dr. tim nelson

Local veterinarian loves his work with cattle

By KELSEY HAUGEN

CNA staff reporter khaugen@crestonnews.com

As Dr. Tim Nelson performed ultrasounds on heifers Tuesday morning, he coaxed a frightened one: “Hey, sweetie. Easy, girl.” Once she calmed down, he was able to examine her. An unborn calf appeared on the moving sonogram. “Alright, 40 days, Mikey,” Nelson called out.

Mike Miller, who helps with the process, recorded the information.

“It’s amazing how much a calf grows in 40 days,” Nelson said, looking at his monitor.

Ultrasounds have become a regular part of the job for Nelson, 32. He is one of the veterinarians and co-owner of Creston Veterinary Clinic. He started at the clinic in June 2009, one month after graduating from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University.

Whenever he’s asked why he chose the veterinary path, Nelson gives the same answer: “From a young age, I wanted three things – to be able to work outside, work with animals and

The portion of Academic Avenue connecting Creston Community High School to the Elementary/Middle School will be moving to one-way traffic at the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year.

Once the change goes into effect, drivers will still be able to travel north from the high school to the elementary school, but not in the other direction.

Steve McDermott, Cres- McDermott ton Schools superintendent, said this change comes due to safety concerns.

“One issue was that we had certain folks that were driving too fast,” he said. “Another is it was not always safe, especially given the two-way traffic. It just seemed like that drive in places is tight anyway.”

McDermott said much of the driveway was built before the Elementary/Middle School building, and he said it wasn’t intended for primary traffic.

The main people affected by the change, he said, will be staff who travel between the buildings.

“We’ll try to set routines from the start,” he said. “It should not create major challenges for parents and students and the general public.”

McDermott said the road will still allow two-way traffic on Friday nights, as has been the practice in the past.

One-way signs will be installed before school starts Aug. 26.

McDermott said the school is also considering closing the gate behind the high school during the school day, which will increase security.

Students will still be able to drive in the front of the building and park in the high school parking lot, but they will not be able to come through that gate and come through the west drive.

Deaths Wayne Barton Red Oak

Charles “Wayne” Barton, 88, of Red Oak died Aug. 2, 2015, at Good Samaritan Society, Red Oak. F u n e r - Barton al services will be 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7, at Pearson Family Funeral Service, 701 7th St., Corning. The Rev. Ken Rummer will officiate. Visitation with family present will be 1 to 2 p.m. prior to the service at the funeral home. Burial will be at Walnut Grove Cemetery, Corning. Military honors will be provided by Corning American Legion Post #117 and the United States Navy. Memorials may be directed to the American Legion OURCQ #117 and/ or the Corning First Presbyterian Church. Online condolences may be left at www. pearsonfuneralhomes.com.

Charles Wayne Barton, son of Marion Charles and Nellie Marie (Walton) Barton, was born Oct. 1, 1926, in Corning. Wayne attended Corning High School through his sophomore year. He would later obtain his GED during the 1970s.

Wayne served in the United States Navy during WWII, from February 1945 until his honorable discharge in 1946.

On June 15, 1945, he married Olive Lou Howe in Centerville, prior to being deployed overseas. He spent most of his time in the service operating heavy equip-

ment.

Wayne worked for several contractors around the state, operating heavy construction equipment. Wayne and Olive moved to Chariton in 1954. They would later move to Taylor County in 1977 and settle in Corning in 1978.

Wayne belonged to the American Legion OURCQ #117 and the International Operating Engineers Union.

He was a former member of the First Baptist Church in Chariton and Corning, and a former member of the Order of Knights of Pythias.

Wayne is survived by his wife, Olive of Red Oak; children, Lynda (Roger) King of Red Oak, Raymond (Sonya) Barton of Corning, and Candice (Wes) Lamb of Adel; grandchildren, Lonny (Michael) Brannen of Council Bluffs, Kelly (Terry) Snyder of Red Oak, Jonathan (Gentri) Barton of Neveda, Amanda Barton of Las Vegas, Nev., Callie Lamb of Adel, Michaela Lamb of Adel, Ashely (Brian) Parrish of Polk City, and Whittney Lamb of Bedford; great-grandchildren, Keagan King, Nolan and Sophie Snyder, Cael, Nora, Barton, and Jude Barton, Jace Lamb, and Laney Parrish; brothers, Jim (Bonnie) Barton of Carl and Jerry Barton of Corning; sister, Dorthea (Pete) Riley of Corning; and many nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

Wayne was preceded in death by his parents; infant sister Carol Rose Barton; brother Walt Barton; and sisters, Peggy Chitty and Francis Montegna.

Mothers are the sole, primary, or co-breadwinners in nearly 72 percent of Iowa families DES MOINES — The Center for American Progress (CAP) today released a new report detailing facts about women’s economic security in Iowa. The report shows that nearly 72 percent of Iowa mothers are the sole, primary, or co-breadwinners in their families, highlighting the need for policies such as equal pay, affordable child care, paid family leave, earned sick days, and a livable minimum wage.

“While the wealthy few get ahead, Iowa women and families are falling behind,” said Matt Sinovic executive director of Progress Iowa.

“We need economic and workplace policies, such as paid family leave and sick days and increasing the minimum wage, to ensure every family gets off on the right foot and has the opportunity to succeed.”

The CAP analysis also finds that more than 45

percent of private-sector workers in Iowa—500,000 people—do not have paid sick days, which is higher than the national average.

Furthermore, the analysis shows that nearly 183,000 Iowa women are in need of publicly funded family planning services and supplies.

“Iowa needs policies that provide everyone with an opportunity to get ahead.

Women and families deserve a fair shot at achieving economic security and success, especially in this still-recovering economy,” said Jocelyn Frye, a Senior Fellow at CAP. “We all can play a role in helping women and men fulfill their responsibilities at work and at home without putting the other at risk. Businesses and elected officials are a critical part of the solution and have the tools to bring America’s workplaces into the 21st century.”

NELSON: Continued from Page 1

The interest began in childhood, when he milked cows. Now, he and his family own 60 cattle, 12 of which Nelson keeps at a farm east of Creston. With his love for cattle, he said being a vet in southwest Iowa is the perfect fit.

“It’s good because I try a lot of things on my own cattle. It’s easier to make recommendations to people when you do it yourself,” he said.

Reproductive work The four vets at the clinic somewhat specialize in their work. Nelson and Dr. Carl Schuler deal mostly with large animals and often work together. Dr. Melissa Forshee and Dr. Amy Wilson work more with small animals.

Nelson does most of the reproductive treatment, including ultrasounds and artificial insemination of cattle. This year alone, Nelson has artificially inseminated about 950 cattle.

“Ultrasound has gotten really popular,” he said.

“Everybody wants an artificially inseminated calf because then you know when they’re going to calve, and you can plan accordingly.”

Some of Nelson’s work with cattle includes evaluating their reproductive tracts to ensure normality and using a Pelvimeter to measure the pelvises of the heifers.

“If it’s 13 centimeters by 13 centimeters, you take 13 times 13, and divide that number by two, giving you 84.5,” he said. “So that means she should be able to have an 84.5-pound calf unassisted.”

With ultrasounds, Nelson measures crown width. For instance, 2.5 centimeters means the heifer is at about 80 days in her pregnancy.

Dr. Tim Nelson performs an ultrasound on a heifer at Oak Hill Farms in Creston Tuesday morning. Nelson, a veterinarian at Creston Veterinary Clinic, tested 59 of owner Dennis Richie’s heifers to measure how advanced they were in their gestation periods.

Ultrasounds will show a heifer is pregnant if she is 30 or more days along, he said.

When Nelson examined cattle Tuesday morning at Oak Hill Farms in Creston, he was requested by the owner, Dennis Richie.

Bill Burkhead, a friend who helps at Richie’s farm when needed, explained why Nelson was the first choice.

“I don’t think you could find a better guy,” Burkhead said.

The clinic’s office manager, Becky Stibbs, said a definite perk of the job is that no two days are the same.

One day on the job, Nelson pulled conjoined twins out of a heifer. Another day, he found three sets of twins while examining cattle. On Monday after the tornado, the clinic received calls from Williamson County to help injured livestock who were tossed by the tornado.

“I’ve been here 25 years, and I learn something new every time I turn around,” Stibbs said.

The clinic Though the clinic has regular business hours, the vets are on call two or three nights per week. Generally, January and July are the slowest times, Nelson said.

The rest of the year stays pretty busy.

For small animals, the vets usually do surgeries in the morning and medicine, vaccines and de-worming cases in the afternoon. Work with large animals is less set in stone. Each year, the clinic does about 40 Cesarean sections on cattle. They also deal with other issues, such as lacerations on horses or hernias on calves.

“There’s some stuff we don’t do, but if we can fix it, we try,” Nelson said.

The Creston Veterinary Clinic has a $250,000 building under construction, located directly behind the clinic.

The building, paid for by the clinic, is scheduled to be finished in September and will be used to work with cattle and other large animals.

Once it is ready for use, the clinic plans to hold an open house.

The building will be indoors and heated.

It will be perfect for smaller jobs, such as a group of 30 cattle, Nelson said. The vets will still go out to farms for larger jobs.

“I’m really excited about the new addition.

I’ve done C-sections on heifers in February in the middle of the night, and I’d turn around and put my scalpel blade in what was supposed to be disinfectant solution, and it had turned to ice,” Nelson said. “With this building, we won’t have to worry about snow, rain or wind.”

Nelson because he wasn’t well known in the community yet. But now, some clients request him specifically.

“I look at the job as a way to help people and to help make our clients money – at least that’s the cattle, pig and sheep side of it,” he said.

The challenging part for him is the time commitment.

He admits the workload is hard to balance, but it’s worth it.

“Not everybody appreciates us, but a lot of people do appreciate what we do, and I think that’s the best part,” Nelson said.

Creston News Advertiser Wednesday, August 5, 2015

OPINION Go set your clock backward

News item: Harper Lee’s “Go Set a Watchman” breaks all sale records as beloved fictional lawyer Atticus Finch is written as a racist.

Today’s other news from the publishing world includes the release of a heretofore undiscovered rough draft of “The Great Gatsby” in which Jay Gatsby reconnects with Daisy Buchanan and discovers that she has gained 40 pounds, collects Hummel figurines and volunteers with a local televangelist’s cable show phone bank.

The two lovebirds decide to act on their long-smoldering affair.

Much to the dismay of her church family, Daisy leaves Tom, marries Gatsby and the couple honeymoons in Branson, Mo. Also on the bestseller list is the third rejected draft of John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men,” a 400-page thriller in which highstakes gamblers named Lennie

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

and George con fellow passengers on a riverboat traveling the Mississippi between Natchez and New Orleans.

When discovered, the two lovable rogues must make a daring escape that includes a gun battle and an impromptu float trip clinging to rabbit cages that get tossed overboard in the excitement. Movie rights have been bought.

The literary world also has been rocked by the discovery of another version of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” in which the star-crossed lovers defy their families and marry, only to discover

that Romeo has long suppressed his homosexual tendencies and has no real interest in Juliet beyond friendship. Romeo eventually leaves Juliet to be with his true love, Mercutio, and finally receives a long-denied parental blessing from the Montagues.

In an effort to make politically correct the evergreen Civil War potboiler “Gone With the Wind,” its publisher has released a modified version that it describes as “more acceptable in 2015.” Scarlett, who has been renamed Jasmine, survives the war, frees her slaves and moves North, where she becomes a dedicated nurse to care for wounded and emotionally damaged Union veterans.

Jasmine’s love interest, Rhett Butler, reappears in her life after his cousin, the nun Belle Watling, finally gives the unrealized romance her blessing. Ashley and

Melanie Wilkes have six children and live long, peaceful lives, sowing the seed for a sequel.

An updated Hemingway story, “The Old Man and the Seashore,” is set for release next month. In this take on the classic, Santiago has retired and is living in Seaside, Florida, where he settles in for his golden years, only to find himself in a fierce battle with the condo association that oversees the hightoned residence he has chosen.

Turns out, no trophy fish can be displayed on the walls of his new home within the eyesight of other residents, and torn Santiago must choose between the mounted marlin and getting along with new neighbors.

Finally, a previously rejected sequel to the “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” is due to be released soon, bringing Huck fans up to date with the beloved characters

of Mark Twain’s classic. Huck joins the Klan and leads a noose party to punish the upstart Jim. Pa Finn joins Alcoholics Anonymous and starts a promising career as an itinerant preacher.

Huck’s best friend, Tom Sawyer, is diagnosed with attention deficit disorder and must begin a new diet of prescription drugs. In the end, Huck mellows and helps Tom finish whitewashing the fence.

Miss a day, miss a literary milestone. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ... And Warmed Our Cold, Cold Hearts.” Comments are welcomed at rhetagrimsley@aol.com. (c) 2015 Rheta Grimsley Johnson Distributed by King Features Syndicate

Jeb Bush gave a detailed plan to stop illegal immigration HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

New York City police arrested a man Friday for driving an ice cream truck through the suburbs while legally drunk, wearing only his underwear and screaming at kids as he drove through the neighborhood. He spent all weekend in jail. That man is now the Republican front-runner for president.

UFC superstar Ronda Rousey drew big TV ratings Saturday when the blonde fighter destroyed her one-hundred-ninety pound opponent Bethe Correia in the first round Friday in Brazil. Ronda knocked out the woman in thirty-four seconds. This breaks Bill Cosby’s record by a minute and a half.

Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer went into hiding Friday amid public calls that he be extradited to Zimbabwe to face charges for killing Cecil the Lion. He wounded the lion with an arrow and then shot him and beheaded him. Nobody believed the dentist’s first story, that the lion was resisting arrest.

Zimbabwe suspended all wildlife hunting Sunday as police sought U.S. gynecologist Jan Casmir Seski for killing lions in wildlife preserves in April. So far the lion-killers are a gynecologist and a dentist. All they need now is a plastic surgeon and the boycott could trigger a depression in Los Angeles.

The Weather Channel reported brutally hot temperatures nationwide Monday with one hundred degree readings from New York to Los Angeles. Air conditioners

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

were over-taxed. It was so hot in Disneyland Sunday they had to use Walt Disney’s frozen head on a stick to lead the Main Street Parade.

Jeb Bush gave a detailed plan to stop illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border Monday. The Republicans are determined to turn back illegal aliens. They all came here looking to achieve the American Dream, which is defined as the ability to fill up your tank without having to rob a liquor store.

Joe Biden was reported Friday seriously considering entering the race for the Democratic Party nomination for president. He doesn’t really need the job. After his term of office as vice president is over Joe Biden has a standing offer in Hollywood to play the villain in all the pepper spray commercials.

Boston withdrew its bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympic Games Tuesday, leaving Los Angeles as the U.S. city likeliest to be bidding for the Summer Games. The locals here in L.A. are just thrilled about the idea. The Summer Olympics could bring some much-needed traffic to the city of Los Angeles.

Rose Parade officials announced that Downton Abbey will be honored with a float in this year’s New Year’s Day parade in Pasadena in

honor of its final season on PBS. It’s about English aristocrats a century ago and their forced adjustment to social changes. It airs on Pasadena TV under the title, Roots.

California firefighters battled fast-spreading wildfires in the Sierra Madre mountain range from Northern California to San Diego County Monday. It’s bad. This morning at Lake Arrowhead, a William Morris agent woke up, saw the flames outside his bedroom window and just assumed he’d died.

The Central Intelligence Agency gave a five hundred page report to Congress on the U.S. torture of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq ten years ago that was caught on camera. The photos didn’t offend everybody. Naked men squatting in a pyramid formation is as old as the Army-Navy game.

President Obama gave a speech in Washington Monday laying out strict new proposals to help combat global warming. He seems obsessed with weaning the U.S. off fossil-fuel oil and electricity producing coal. All he has to do now is figure out how to make cars run on beautiful pictures of Alaska.

President Obama will push his low-carbon emission rules at the National Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas this month. The president will speak at UNLV even though the NCES convention will be at the MGM Grand Hotel.

Guys who are seventeen trillion dollars in debt aren’t allowed in a casino.

ou may be surprised to learn that cooking with olive oil is a simple way to add heart-healthy “good” fats to your diet.

In fact, the health benefits, flavor and versatility of olive oil are all good reasons that olive oil is a staple in many kitchens.

Not only can you replace other oils in recipes with olive oil (or extra virgin olive oil for added flavor), in many recipes you can also replace butter with olive oil to reduce saturated fat, cholesterol and calories.

Studies show that your body absorbs nutrients from greens and vegetables better when they are consumed with a monounsaturated fat such as olive oil. These recipes help you get the most out of your veggies, and enjoy a decadent dessert too. Learn more at www.aboutoliveoil.org.

Olive Oil Poached Tuna with Crisp Romaine Salad Serves: 4 2 romaine hearts, cleaned and leaves separated 4 hard boiled eggs, cut into quarters 25 Haricot Vert/French green beans, blanched 4 Olive Oil Poached Tuna portions, recipe follows 4 yellow potatoes, peeled Salt and pepper to taste 20 Kalamata olives, pitted 12 grape or cherry tomatoes, washed 8 lemon quarters Prep romaine, eggs and green beans, and chill the day before.

Poach tuna and let cool to room temperature.

Boil potatoes until tender and drain. Season potatoes with salt and pepper while still hot. Let potatoes cool to room temperature, cover with plastic and reserve.

Arrange romaine, eggs, green beans, olives, tomatoes and potatoes on four dinner plates. Break and flake tuna on top and drizzle with olive oil from poaching. Squeeze one lemon wedge on each plate and season with fresh pepper and salt. Serve with another lemon wedge.

Olive Oil Poached Tuna 4 tuna portions (5 ounces each) 2 cups extra virgin olive oil Kosher salt to taste Black pepper, freshly ground to taste 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary 4 tablespoons parsley cut in long, thin strips 2 lemons, zested and juiced Drizzle tuna with extra virgin olive oil. Season tuna gener-ously with salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, parsley and lemon zest. Place tuna in 12-inch saucepot and cover with extra virgin olive oil and juice of lemons. Heat over moderate heat until tuna poaches to medium rare, approximately 7-10 minutes depending on thickness of tuna. Remove from heat; allow tuna to continue to poach and cool to room temperature.

Grilled Flat Bread Pizza with Hidden Vegetable Sauce Serves: 1 1 large slice peasant bread cut 1/4-3/8-inch thick, or any type artisan/crusty bread Extra virgin olive oil Salt and pepper to taste Hidden Vegetable Tomato Sauce, recipe follows Mozzarella, grated Parmesan Reggiano, grated Heat oven to 350°F and heat gas grill or grill pan to medium high.

Brush bread generously with extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill bread crisp on each side and transfer to baking sheet lined with baking paper. Top each slice with tomato sauce. Cover with grated mozzarella and sprinkle with grated parmesan Reggiano.

Bake until cheese is melted, about 10-15 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.

Hidden Vegetable Tomato Sauce 1/2 2 1 1 1 2-3 3 2 2 1-2

cup extra virgin olive oil cups peeled and small diced eggplant cup small diced onion cup small diced carrot cup small diced celery garlic cloves, chopped quarts canned crushed tomatoes teaspoons chopped fresh thyme tablespoons fresh basil cut in long, thin strips dry bay leaves Salt and pepper to taste In large (5-quart or bigger) thick-bottomed pot, heat extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add eggplant, onion, carrot, celery and garlic, and saute gently (not browning vegetables or garlic) until vegetables start to become tender. Add tomatoes, herbs and bay leaves. Simmer, uncovered, for about 1 hour, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Puree until all vegetables are hidden in tomato sauce. Chill and reserve to make quick pizzas. Freeze unused sauce in smaller portions for future use.

what’s cookin’ in zucchini I read some place that “Zucchini may be at the back of the alphabet, but it’s at the front of our minds when it comes to summer vegetables.” Well, sometimes we just need to find ways to use it up as our friends won’t take anymore. So, here are a couple of recipes that might interest you to try. They both are easy to make and taste pretty good, too! Smakelijk eten! cheesy zucchini Rice salt and pepper, to taste 1 cup long-grain white rice 1-2 Tbsp. milk, if needed 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth 1 medium or 2 small zucchini, grated on a box grater or with a food processor (no need to peel beforehand) 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1/2 tsp. garlic powder In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and let the rice simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Remove the rice from the heat and stir in the grated zucchini, cheese, and garlic powder. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add a tablespoon or so of milk to adjust the texture if needed. Serve warm. I used brown minute rice (mircowave directions). Once cooked I added the zucchini, cheese and garlic powder. Turned out great and served it as a side dish with grilled chicken. zucchini, caRRot, and PaRsniP Patties with Lemon yoguRt sauce 2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh chives Sauce: 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt finely grated zest of 1 lemon 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise

1 tsp. fresh lemon juice salt and pepper, to taste

Patties: extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion 1Tbsp. minced garlic 2 medium zucchini, trimmed and coarsely grated (about 2 cups) 2 medium carrots, trimmed, peeled, and coarsely grated (about 2 cups) 1 medium parsnip or potato trimmed, peeled, and coarsely grated (about 1 cup)

2 large eggs, beaten 1/3 cup grated Romano cheese 4–6 Tbsp. all-purpose flour 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives

In a small bowl whisk the sauce ingredients, including 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook until it barely starts to brown, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the zucchini, carrots, and parsnip and cook until crisp-tender, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer to a bowl and let cool for 10 minutes. Stir in the eggs, cheese, 1/4 cup flour, chives, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. If the mixture seems too loose, add another 1 to 2 tablespoons flour.

Warm 3 tablespoons oil in a cast iron griddle/skillet. Working in batches, ladle 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture for each patty onto the griddle/skillet, flattening each gently with the back of a spoon into 3-inch diameter patties. Cook until the patties are browned, about 4 minutes, carefully turning once. Repeat with the remaining zucchini mixture, adding oil as needed to the griddle/skillet for each batch. Serve the patties warm with the sauce.

Can you open this?

Dear Heloise: The pull-up top on pineapple cans is very sharp. I use a CAN OPENER on the underside of the can to open it. — Marty in Warren, Ohio Good hint. Some cans can be opened this way, but some cans can have a “rounded” bottom that cannot be cut off with a can opener.

Can you say can the can with a round bottom so you can open the can with a can opener as quickly as a cancan dancer can kick the can? — Heloise ORGANIC CARROTS Dear Heloise: I buy a lot of organic carrots with the beautiful leafy greens on top. Are they safe to eat? — G.W., via email.

They ARE safe to eat; however, they have a unique flavor and can be a bit bitter.

Chop them up and add to a green salad, or use a pinch or two the same way you use parsley in a dish.

Be adventurous and try them sauteed with a little oil, maybe some garlic or onion, salt and pepper, and do try a dash of red-wine vinegar or lemon juice to add flavor. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000

Any hints for making them easier to remove from the container? — Judy C., via email This can happen over time, especially if the box or bag has been opened. To unstick the stuck raisins, dampen your hands just a little, then sort of massage the “clump,” and the raisins will separate.

Keep them in the refrigerator, and be sure to first put them in a food-storage bag, remove air, then into another bag. — Heloise CUTTING WATERMELON Dear Readers: Here are two hints for cutting up watermelon: Joy A. in Shortsville, N.Y., wrote: “I love watermelon and like to keep it cut up in the refrigerator ready to eat.

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

The rind is extremely difficult to slice through. Recently, my husband suggested I use the electric meat-carving knife.

This worked so quickly and smoothly, I will use it for watermelon, squash and pumpkin rind.”

Bruce L. in Bozeman, Mont., wrote: “Before applying that intense downward knife pressure to cut off a round slice, take a horizontal cut off the outer rind. This provides a stable base for the fruit to rest while cutting. For years, I tried to cut melon slices from a rocking melon. I recommend the horizontal cut to your readers.”

Delicious hints for a wonderful summertime treat!

Chilled watermelon on a hot day is heaven. Yummy! — Heloise BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker LAST DROP Dear Heloise: My frugal mother taught me this hint growing up: Use a rubber spatula to clean out the remains of a mayo, peanut butter or jam jar, or even food in a dish. You will be amazed how much would have been wasted. In addition, the spatula makes for easy spreading. This also makes for easier cleanup when recycling the jar. — Kay in Port Charlotte, Fla.

Unfortunately, an older family member seems to have trouble with this. It was ever thus.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) On the whole, you have a warm feeling today. Go with the flow, and don’t let little worries spoil anything. Stay positive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your popularity with younger people, as well as artistic and creative types, brings you joy now. However, someone older or more experienced might be grouchy. Oh dear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Enjoy warm relationships

with partners and close friends now, because everything supports this. Yes, someone might be critical or envious, but who cares?

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Continue to look for advantages that exist at work at this time. You can get a better job or a promotion, or enjoy a wonderful working relationship with others. Use this while it exists.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a large appetite for life and are drawn to extraordinary

experiences. You are sensuous and sexual, and spontaneous.

Your approach to life is always intense. This is a testing year of growth and building. This growth will occur beneath the surface. Do not make major changes yet — wait until next year. Strengthen your financial position by reducing your overhead.

National Digest

Dombrowski out DETROIT (AP) — The end of Dave Dombrowski’s tenure in Detroit came suddenly and unexpectedly — like so many of the moves he made to build the Tigers into an American League powerhouse.

Dombrowski is out after nearly 14 seasons as president and general manager of the Tigers.

The four-time Central Division champions announced the move Tuesday, catching people at Comerica Park and beyond by surprise.

Dombrowski was fresh off making several big trades last week, and his exit set off rampant speculation about where he would next work.

Dombrowski was in the last season of his contract and overseeing a team stuck below .500, so there was already speculation about whether he’d be back in 2016. But his abrupt exit — accompanied by a somewhat cryptic explanation from the team — was unusual.

He is being replaced

by Al Avila, who has served as his top assistant since 2002. Avila’s son, Alex, catches for the Tigers.

Broadcasts MARYVILLE, Mo. — This fall all of the Northwest Missouri State Bearcat football games will be broadcast on KMA 960, as well as select men’s and women’s basketball contests.

Former Creston/O-M players Collin Bevins and Keaton Hulett are members of the Bearcat football team. The Bearcat football team went 10-2 and lost in the first round of the Division II playoffs to Minnesota-Duluth.

Northwest opens its season at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 3, at Nebraska-Kearney against former Bearcat quarterback and brand new Loper head coach Josh Lamberson.

Breakout game DETROIT — Salvador Perez homered and drove in three runs as the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 5-1 Tuesday night.

Detroit came into the season looking for a fifth straight AL Central title, but now trail the Royals by 12 1/2 games.

Danny Duffy (5-5) allowed one run on five hits and four walks in seven innings, only striking out two. Justin Verlander (1-4) struggled in his ninth start of the season, allowing five runs on 10 hits in seven innings. He didn’t walk a batter for a career-best third straight start, but the Tigers are now 1-8 in his outings this year.

Perez drove in Kansas City’s first three runs, hitting an RBI single in the second and a tworun homer in the fourth.

He came into the game with a .429 career batting average and .714 slugging percentage against Verlander.

Creston won the Southwestern Community College volleyball team camp Monday, avenging an earlier pool play loss to East Union in the finals 2-0 after beating Nodaway Valley 2-0 in the semifinals. Stanton and Nodaway Valley were the other teams in the top four “Gold Bracket” of the eight-team event. “We changed some things coming into the Gold tournament, and did what we needed to do to win,” said coach Polly Luther. Members of the championship team Monday were, from left in front, Breanna Wallace, Alli Thomsen, Alyssa Higgins, Gracie Russell, Ashley Bargstadt, Jami Sickels and Jaxie Luther. Back row, Cayla Maitlen, Megan Haley, Jenna Taylor, Angie Sorensen, Sydney Dunphy and Hannah Hood.

Creston senior shortstop Conner Pals earned firstteam honors and four other Panthers were recognized on the Hawkeye 10 all-conference baseball teams released after Harlan’s season ended Saturday in a state runner-up finish.

The Cyclones lost to Waverly-Shell Rock, 11-1, in the Class 3A championship game at Principal Park in Des Moines.

Pals was the team’s offensive spark at the top of the lineup, and the leader in the field as the veteran shortstop Pals on a young t e a m .

Coach Steve Birchard said Pals was recognized as much for his upbeat, hustling style of play as much as his baseball skills.

“Other coaches recognized his enthusiasm and his effort,” Birchard said. “That speaks volumes. He set a great example of hustling and stuff like that. He is a baseball guy, and it shows.

This year we had a lot of young kids who are also baseball guys, and Conner was a good leader for them.

He got on base, ran the bases hard, and made a lot of plays for us in the field.”

Pals batted .309 with a .409 on-base percentage. He hit three doubles, one triple and scored 22 runs. He was successful on eight of 11 stolen base attempts. He had an .868 fielding percentage.

“He had two three-error Please see H-10, page 10A

H-10: Continued from page 9A

games, which hurt his fielding average,” Birchard said.

“But he made plays. We turned a good number of double plays that he had a part in.”

Named to the second team were freshman catcher/pitcher Jaden Driskell and sophomore pitcher/first baseman Kadon Hulett.

Driskell threw out 11 of 17 base stealing attempts behind the plate and became an offensive threat in the mid- Driskell dle of the Panther lineup. He hit a team-best .346, with three doubles and 11 RBI. As the No. 3 pitcher on the staff, he was 2-4 with a 3.03 ERA with 29 strikeouts and 18 walks in 39 1/3 innings.

“Jaden’s offensive numbers climbed as the season went along,” Birchard said.

“He was steady behind the plate defensively and was a solid pitcher for us. He’s a real utility guy. He got a couple of big wins at St. Albert and Denison.”

Hulett and another sophomore, Chase Shiltz, were the primary pitchers in conference games. Hulett played first base or catcher when he wasn’t pitching.

On the mound he was 4-1 in a team-high nine starts, with only 30 hits allowed in 48 1/3 innings and a 1.59 ERA. He struck out 53 and walked only 11.

Hulett started the season with a twohit shutout against Class 4A Indianola, and finished it with a n i n e - i n - Hulett ning effort against Harlan in the district finals, leaving during a 3-3 deadlock. In that game he struck out 10, walked four and allowed six hits against the state runner-up team.

“His only loss was to Harlan early in the year,” Birchard said. “He beat Indianola, Clarinda, Glenwood and Kuemper. He had some other good partial games — a good inning against (state qualifier) Martensdale-St. Marys, three innings with three hits and only one run against Lewis Central, no runs at ADM and two runs in 2 1/3 innings against (Class 4A champion) Southeast Polk. He really had a good year on the mound.”

Hulett batted .238 with a double and 10 RBI offensively.

Shiltz and freshman outfielder Dustin Merritt received honorable mention.

Drawing many of the toughest games on the mound, Shiltz finished 3-6 with a 3.48 ERA. In 48 1/3 innings he struck out 49 and walked only three, with 42 hits Shiltz allowed.

Opponents batted under .200 against both Hulett and Shiltz.

As the team’s third baseman when he wasn’t pitching, Shiltz hit .263 with 15

runs scored and nine RBI. His four doubles was second only to Driskell’s five.

“Chase competes really hard,” Birchard said. “He was kind of our tough luck guy. He had the tough assignments — lost to Harlan, lost at Southeast Polk, beat Kuemper and Atlantic, then lost to Denison, St. Albert and (league champion) Lewis Central before taking the loss in extra innings against Harlan in the district. He gets the ball and pitches in a good rhythm, and stays around the plate with it. He had five multiple hit games and made a lot of plays for us at the hot corner.”

Merritt had a strong freshman season as the team’s left fielder, moving from the infield to find a varsity spot Merritt in the outfield.

“He really took to that outfield position,” Birchard said. “He made himself into a pretty good outfielder by getting a good jump on the ball. Offensively, he hit over .300 for much of the season, finishing at .286. He kept innings going for us a lot of times. He had five multiple hit games, none bigger than a three-hit game against Glenwood in the district opener. He has a lot of potential in baseball.”

This was the first year teams had unlimited nominations for all-conference, rather than a set number based on finish in the conference.

The top 16 players were named to the first team, next 16 to the second team, regardless of position, with 15 on honorable mention.

“This way, there are some kids left off that you nominate, but the consensus was after we got done was that we got the best players on the team,” Birchard said.

“I think it worked out fairly well.”

Bird flu update: restocking of first farm DES MOINES – The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that a turkey farm that was infected with Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has started restocking their barn with birds. The farm completed the cleaning and disinfection process and has negative environmental tests.

A press conference will be held at the farm near Manson on Aug. 10. The farm is owned and operated by the Brad Moline family. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey, Dr. Jack Shere from USDA APHIS, Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Director Mark Schouten, farm owner Brad Moline and the Iowa Turkey Federation will participate in the press conference.

The farm, identified as Calhoun 1, was confirmed to have HPAI on May 19. This farm has six barns that hold 28,800 brooder poults (zero to five weeks of age) and 14,400 finisher turkeys (five weeks to 20 weeks of age). Repopulation took place on July 31.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship is in the process of lifting 69 of the 77 control zones that were established around premises in Iowa infected with HPAI. The 10 kilometer control zone was established around each site with a confirmed case of HPAI. All premises that had poultry that were located within a 10 kilometer control zone surrounding an infected site were quarantined and all movement of poultry and poultry products, feed, fuel, etc. in and out of those quarantined

non-infected premises had to be permitted by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.

In addition, all premises containing poultry infected with HPAI were quarantined.

This announcement does not affect the status of any premise that had a confirmed case of avian influenza; it only impacts those sites that were not infected but were within the 10 kilometer control zone.

To be eligible for the control zone to be lifted, 60 days must have elapsed since the poultry located on the infected premises that caused theBoard control zone July to be estabof Directors 20, 2015 Creston Community School District lished were depopulated or 21 The Board of Directors of the Creston days mustSchool haveDistrict elapsed Community met onsince Monday, July 20, 2015 Board Room at cleaning andin thedisinfection 6:05 PM.
