Details released from hospital shooting

S

everal men sit around a long table in a room dedicated to genealogy at Gibson Memorial Library Tuesday morning. The men sip coffee from mugs and crack jokes back and forth.

The men, making up the library’s coffee group, meet five times a week in the mornings to talk and drink coffee. They pay $1 per cup, and the money is put into a library technology fund.

As of Monday, $22,091.53 has been donated by the coffee group since its inception at the library.

Rick Rice, part of the coffee drinkers, laughed when he said the group begs people to be part of the group.

“Most people turn us down once they find out Bill (Heatherington) is going to be there,” Rice said. He then said, “Anyone’s got a dollar can come in.”

coffee time.”

The men range in age from 62 to 97 years old. A mortician, retired Marine and horse trainer are just several of the ranging occupations a m o n g the coffee drinkers.

“It’s a wonderful Hudson place to have coffee, and we’re doing a lot for the library,” said coffee drinker Ken Hudson.

Former police officer Bill Heatherington said it’s just a place to go for coffee and knowledge.

“You know, every place you go, in every town, you run into people who drink coffee somewhere. Maybe it’s Casey’s, maybe it’s someplace else. Everybody has someplace they drink coffee,” Heatherington said. “Two guys are 97 years old, and they have a lot of knowledge to pass around.”

The only topic the group avoids is politics.

“We don’t exchange ru-

Group The group is comprised of about 20 people total, with about 10 who show up each morning.

“We used to open at 10 a.m.,” Marilyn Ralls, library director, said, “But, we’ve been opening between 8:30 and 9 because that is their

mors,” Hudson said. “We exchange facts.”

Rice replied to Hudson’s statement by saying, “That’s the biggest lie I ever heard.”

Coffee “I’d say (we get) between $10 and $15 a day sometimes,” Ralls said. “They donate a dollar a cup, but they buy the coffee. We just kind of give them an area.”

Supplies for the coffee comes out of the fund, and each person donates $1 per cup in the mornings.

“They just always paid for a cup of coffee at Hanson’s, and I think it was a dollar there,” Ralls said. “If you pay a dollar here, it’s just a donation. We don’t charge them, but they throw it in.”

The money in the fund goes to computer technology at the library. Ralls said Gibson Memorial Library will have new computers in the near future.

“I’m just about ready to buy some new ones,” Ralls said.

Ralls also said the fund is not part of the building project, but is its own separate fund.

Background “They started in September of 2006,” Ralls said.

“They have their eighth anniversary next month.”

The group started at the former Hanson’s Drugstore.

The drugstore was in the process of closing when the idea was formed to ask the group to meet at the library for their morning coffee.

“Ann Coulter came to me and said, ‘What do you think of the coffee guys from Hanson’s coming here when Hanson’s closes?’”

Ralls said. “I said, ‘It sounds good to me.’”

Ralls said Coulter talked to the group, and they agreed to try coffee at the library and see if they liked it.

“I went out and got what I thought I needed,” Ralls said. “They liked it because it was carpeted, because so many of them don’t hear well anymore, so they just kept coming.”

WEST UNION (AP) — The Department of Public Safety is releasing details about a weekend shooting at a northeast Iowa hospital that left an inmate dead.

The department Tuesday identified the Fayette County Jail inmate as 32-year-old Steven Harreld and the deputy as Jeremy Stiefel.

The Saturday incident happened at Palmer Lutheran Hospital in West Union, where Harreld had sought treatment. Stiefel released the inmate from his handcuffs as he changed into his jail clothes and was releasing his leg cuffs when Harreld attacked.

Harreld grabbed the deputy’s gun and demanded his release. While searching for handcuff keys Stiefel reached his stun-gun-like device. Harreld shot Stiefel, who deployed the device.

Stiefel wore a ballistic vest and wasn’t seriously hurt.

Harreld shot himself in the head and died. An autopsy ruled it a suicide.

Speakers: Iowa’s medical marijuana law needs work DES MOINES (AP) — Speakers at an administrative hearing on Tuesday said they’re frustrated at the difficulty in obtaining a marijuana extract, despite a new law passed earlier this year.

Sally Gaer of West Des Moines and Kim Novy of Altoona made the comments after a state Department of Public Health hearing on the issue, The Des Moines Register reported. Both women said they have epileptic children who would QUOTED benefit from the ex“I feel like it’s stil tract. light years away.

“I feel like it’s still We have a lot more light years away,” Gaer work to do.” said. “We have a lot — Sally Gaer of more work to do.”

West Des Moines The law, which decriminalizes possession of a marijuana extract for patients, technically went into effect on July 1.

But Gaer said it offers no legal method for growing or selling the product in the state. She also noted that lawmakers are still working on issuing registration cards to allow residents to possess extract purchased in other states.

One of those states, Colorado, only allows sales of the extract to its own residents. So Oregon may be an option when Iowa residents receive their registration cards.

“What are we all going to do, get in a wagon train and go over the mountains?” Gaer said.

Deaths Georgia Kinne Tingley

Georgia Etta “Grandma G G ” Kinne, 93, of Tingley, passed a w a y August 22, 2014 at the Kinne Mount Ayr Health Care Center.

Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m. Thursday, August 28 at Watson-Armstrong Funeral Home, 205 West Monroe St, Mount Ayr, Iowa with Rev. Al Rusk officiating. Burial is in the Tingley Cemetery in Tingley, Iowa. Open viewing will be held at the funeral home on Wednesday from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with the family present Wednesday evening from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. A memorial fund has been established to the Tingley Community Building. Online condolences may be left at www.watsonarmstrongfh. com.

Georgia Etta Kinne was born March 26, 1921 to Roy Francis and Geneva Elnora (Neely) Hainey in Barnard, Missouri during a blizzard.

She departed this life on August 22, 2014.

The Hainey family ran a family dairy business with Georgia Etta serving the role of delivery girl. She graduated from Barnard High School and attended some college in Maryville.

On March 30, 1940, she was united in marriage to Donald Ross Kinne in Troy, Kansas. This union was blessed with three children; Donald, Jr., Linda, and Jane. In 1946, the Kinne family moved to Shannon City, Iowa. In February 1947, they moved to Tingley which would become her beloved hometown.

Georgia Etta was active in the Tingley Christian Church helping send boxes of homemade cookies to

veterans in Knoxville and organizing church dinners for fund raising and funerals. She was an avid gardener sharing her ample produce with friends and neighbors, especially her strawberries. Her hobby of sewing left the granddaughters with the best in Barbie fashion; these outfits were also shared with her great granddaughters. Georgia Etta enjoyed cooking and baking. Her grandkids fondly remember a summer party where each had their own birthday cake. Georgia Etta was instrumental in founding the Tingley Friendship Meal site that continues to serve seniors in the area today.

In 1992, she gained the nickname “GG” so it would be easier for her great grandchildren to pronounce her name. “GG” was destined to be a wonderful grandmother and great grandmother as she was named after both of her grandmothers; Georgia Neely and Etta Hainey. She shared her hope to live long enough for her great grandchildren to remember her.

In 2010, she moved in with granddaughter, Becky, and family and enjoyed the special times together. In 2013, she moved to the Mount Ayr Health Care Center where she enjoyed the company of her roommate, Willa Poore.

Left to cherish her memory include her daughter Linda (Gary) Myers; daughter Jane (Tom) Skillicorn; grandchildren Kevin (Aleta) Myers, Laura (Shannon) Burke Becky, (Jeff) Fletchall, Lisa (Roy) Beard; great grandchildren Sawyer Myers, Trey Myers, Lucas Myers, Scott Burke, Elizabeth Burke, Emily Burke, Morgan Beard, Ross Beard, Amanda Beard, Lauren Beard, Hannah Fletchall, Hope Fletchall, Haylee Fletchall, and Jaxx Fletchall.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; and son.

supplier could reach more than a $1,000 a month per month, plus the cost of travel. There’s also the risk of arrest for carrying the extract through states that don’t allow it, they said.

Iowa Department of Pub-

lic Health administrator Deborah Thompson said during the hearing that officials hope to issue registration cards by the end of the year. She said she understood people’s frustration, and added, “there are a lot of moving parts for any new program.”

Top 5 races to watch in the Plains States (MCT) — There aren’t many competitive races in the Plains States, but the region features some critical contests that could signal how well Republicans and Democrats are faring across the country.

A trio of races dropped off the regional top five list since last summer. The South Dakota Senate race is a likely Republican takeover and not worth watching at this point. Neither is the Nebraska Senate race after former Bush administration official Ben Sasse won the Republican primary. And Iowa’s 1st District is a long shot for Republicans.

Here are the top five races to watch in the Plains States: — Iowa Senate. A year ago, Democrats were thought to be well-positioned to hold retiring D e m o cratic Sen. Tom Harkin’s open seat. That was based on the strength of Harkin their likely nominee, Rep. Bruce Braley, and GOP Rep. Tom Latham

declining to run. But a series of unforced errors by Braley, the initial strength of Republican Joni Ernst’s candidacy, and President Barack Obama’s slumping job numbers have combined to make this one of the top Senate races in the country. The Rothenberg Political Report/Roll Call rating: Tossup.

— Iowa’s 3rd District. At this point last year, Democratic state Sen. Staci Appel was reconsidering her decision not to challenge Latham.

Now she is running for his open seat against RepubliAppel can David Young, the surprise winner of his party’s nomination. The district is competitive, and may even lean slightly Democratic in presidential years, but 2014 is another animal. Both Young and Appel are perfecting their candidate skills, but this race should be very competitive. The Rothenberg Political Report/Roll Call

rating: Tossup.

— Nebraska’s 2nd District. Republican Rep. Lee Terry’s life got a little easier when GOP state Sen. Chip Maxwell declined to run as an independent. Still, the congressman isn’t safe for re-election, even though midterm turnout trends should benefit him. Terry has underperformed in past races, and Democratic successful effort to get a minimum-wage-increase initiative onto the November ballot could boost Democratic turnout. State Sen. Brad Ashford, the Democratic nominee, isn’t a stellar candidate but could be credible enough. The Rothenberg Political Report/Roll Call rating: Tossup/Tilts Republican.

— Kansas Senate. “Safe” races don’t often crack top five most competitive lists, but Sen. Pat Roberts’ reelection race is an exception.

The Republican incumbent successfully defeated teaparty-aligned physician Milton Wolf in the competitive GOP primary, but he has yet to solidify the Republican base. Wealthy independent Greg Orman could siphon off some Republican sup-

port with his anti-Washington message, even though Orman has previously run as a Democrat. Gov. Sam Brownback’s polarization, even among Republicans, has added another layer of complexity to the race. The Rothenberg Political Report/Roll Call rating: Safe Republican.

— Kansas Governor.

Brownback is a Republican governor running for re-election in a Republican state, but he is having a tough time. His economic plan hasn’t gone as expected, some of his former aides faced unflattering headlines, and he inflamed the decadeslong battle with the state party between conservatives and moderates.

Republicans are trying to discredit Democrat Paul Davis and tie him to President Barack Obama. Demonizing Davis is probably Brownback’s only play at this point. The Rothenberg Political Report/Roll Call rating: Leans Republican.

Sleep drunkenness may affect more than 1 in 7 people (MCT) — Ever heard of “sleep drunkenness”? If you’ve ever tried to reach for your phone when your alarm clock rings or been so disoriented when you wake up that you don’t know where you are, you may have experienced what’s known formally as “confusional arousal.”

More than 1 in 7 people in the U.S. may suffer from the condition, according to a study in the journal Neurology — which would make sleep drunkenness far more common than thought.

In confusional arousal, sleepers wake up in a disoriented state and perhaps behave strangely in the process. They may not even remember what happens during the episodes.

The condition often occurs when someone wakes up during non-REM sleep, and can be triggered by a “forced awakening,” the study authors wrote.

It can potentially cause violent behavior during sleep or right as the person wakes up.

Research numbers To find out how prevalent sleep drunkenness is, the researchers surveyed 19,136 people age 18 or older in 15 states. They found that 15.2 percent of respondents said they had experienced a confusional arousal episode in the previous year.

Confusional arousals “have received considerably less attention than sleepwalking even though the consequences can be equally serious,” according to the study, led by Maurice Ohayon of Stanford University.

To find out how prevalent sleep drunkenness is, the researchers surveyed 19,136 people age 18 or older in 15 states.

They found that 15.2 percent of respondents said they had experienced a confusional arousal episode in the previous year.

A full 84 percent of those incidents were connected to sleep or mental disorders or psychotropic drugs.

But the episodes were overwhelmingly linked to sleep disorders, which were present 70.8 percent

of the time.

The majority of those who’d experienced confusional arousal were experiencing it regularly — 53.8 percent reported having at least one episode per week, and 24.7 percent reported two to five episodes per month.

For 37.6 percent of sufferers, the episodes were brief — less than 5 minutes.

But 30.1 percent of them said the episodes could last 15 minutes or more after waking up.

Many shared similar symptoms: 57 percent reported being disoriented as they woke up, 34.4 percent said they had difficulty talking or thinking clearly, and 19.9 percent said they experienced “inappropriate behaviors” such as grabbing the phone instead

of flailing for the alarm clock.

Confusional arousal isn’t officially classified as a disorder, the researchers pointed out, “probably because it has received little attention from the scientific community.”

But if it was, they said, it could raise awareness that could lead to a better understanding of the condition and better treatment options.

“Our study shows that underestimating the importance of CA leads to a misunderstanding of the disorder and its effects,” the study authors wrote.

OPINION Obama’s Iraq War

ISIS is a force for evil that poses an imminent security threat to the United States, but please, let us get back to you on whether we are determined to defeat it.

That is the posture of the Obama administration toward the terror group that proudly demonstrated its malevolence by beheading American journalist James Foley in a propaganda video.

For the administration, ISIS isn’t merely a dire enemy, it is a dilemma. President Barack Obama must respond to a group that -- with its resources, apocalyptic vision and Western recruits -- is clearly a threat to the homeland, at the same time he wants nothing to do with Iraq in particular or any new military intervention in general.

The default Obama strategy, then, will be to do the minimum necessary not to be accused of allowing ISIS to run riot. If he must launch a few airstrikes to arrest ISIS’s sweep toward Kurdistan, he

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

will. If he must make a statement about the beheading of James Foley before hitting the links on his vacation, he will.

But he is loath to commit himself. In his Foley statement, the president sought to sound stalwart without saying anything in particular. He brought down the hammer of History with a capital “H” on ISIS. He said, “People like this ultimately fail.” He asserted that “the future is won by those who build and not destroy.” He pronounced a global consensus around the proposition that a group like ISIS “has no place in the 21st century.”

All reasonable, forward-looking people agree that genocide has no

place in the 21st century, either.

Yet the prospective slaughter of Yazidis trapped on Mount Sinjar after fleeing ISIS wasn’t stopped by the inevitable progress of international norms, but (to the administration’s credit) by American bombs in conjunction with Kurdish fighters on the ground.

At a press briefing last week, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Martin Dempsey and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel sounded like they were setting the intellectual and rhetorical predicate for a broader campaign -- before it was all tacitly walked back.

Gen. Dempsey said that ISIS “will eventually have to be defeated” and that it couldn’t be rolled back without hitting it in Syria. Then, a few days later, he made it clear that he opposes hitting it in Syria.

Hagel said that ISIS is an “imminent threat,” a statement that White House spokesman Josh Earnest refused to back up a few

days later.

If the administration is too forthright about ISIS, it closes off escape hatches for the president, who as an anti-Iraq War purist has a consistent record of not wanting to grapple with this particular threat.

He opposed the surge under George W. Bush that defeated al-Qaida in Iraq, the precursor to ISIS. He had no interest in keeping U.S. troops in Iraq that might have helped preserve those gains. When the Syrian civil war began to rage, he refused to robustly support the relatively moderate opposition, thus ceding the ground to what became ISIS. Iraq is now doubly reminiscent of the Vietnam War. First, the collapse of American political will to maintain forces in Iraq, even after we had defeated the insurgency, recalled the end of Vietnam.

Now, the administration’s de facto policy of graduated escala-

tion — progressing from a strictly limited mission to protect the Yazidis and American personnel potentially threatened in Kurdistan to something more extensive, yet still amorphous -- recalls the beginning of the Vietnam War. The administration must fear where the logic of a war against ISIS leads. If it is prosecuted in earnest, it means a bombing campaign against the group on both sides of the Syria-Iraq border, and quite possibly American boots on the ground. In other words, the kind of “escalation” that would have brought howls of outrage from Democrats in the Bush years, and especially from then-Sen. Obama.

He must decide how badly he wants to win his Iraq War. Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com (c) 2014 by King Features Syndicate

Alex Rodriguez bought Meryl Streep’s home HOLLYWOOD — Happy Wednesday, everybody, and God Bless America.

The Comedy Store held a hilarious tribute to Robin Williams Sunday. In the late Seventies a few of us lived in a mansion owned by the club. One morning Yakov Smirnov came in and cleaned off our coffee table with a wet sponge thinking we’d been up all night eating doughnuts.

Alex Rodriguez bought Meryl Streep’s home in the Hollywood Hills Friday. What a great pair of actors. Meryl was voted the Oscar for Sophie’s Choice, Kramer vs.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports a Utah high school dropped its Cougars mascot because it connotes middle-aged women out for young men. It’s a very hot topic. Playboy sold out its Back to College issue with a nude pictorial called The Women of Mom’s Day Weekend at Florida State.

The White House said Friday it’s closely monitoring the crisis on the Russian-Ukrainian border, the Israeli-Hamas war, the ISIS slaughter in Iraq and riots in Ferguson.

President Obama rushed back to the White House from Martha’s Vineyard Sunday. He forgot his five-iron.

militarization of the police force Friday and it sparked a no-lawenforcement looting. Local retailers were hit hard. By the end of the weekend, there was nothing left in the Dollar Store except all their country music CDs. WalMart workers in Ferguson were shown on the news packing crates of drinking water against the windows to help keep out looters Monday, while K-Mart and Dollar Stores hired security. It left viewers with one question. Is anyone ever going to open up a Discount Hospital?

Hillary Clinton agreed to address the Iowa Democratic Party’s annual Steak Fry banquet next month. It’s a food orgy. Last banquet, they ate two thousand steaks, three thousand ears of corn on the cob, three thousand pounds of potatoes, and the band’s drummer is still missing.

Bill Clinton enjoyed a sixtyeighth birthday dinner at a New York restaurant with Hillary and Hollywood pals Tuesday. He loves working the room. At the bar, one of the waitresses poured a bucket of ice on his head and he quickly explained he’d just accepted the ALS challenge.

Injustice 101: Denying sexual assault is a serious crime Heading off to college triggers a range of emotions for students and their families. For those moving to campus, lugging boxes from the parking lot to the dorm adds to the knot of anxiety that won’t seem to go away. And for every student, turning the page on life’s next chapter elicits a mix of pride, excitement and uncertainty.

Incoming freshmen may worry about meeting and making new friends, finding their way around campus, keeping up with studies, and struggling with homesickness and new beginnings.

It’s not an easy transition for parents, either, no matter if campus is across town or a day’s travel away.

Parents naturally worry about their children but understandably expect that they’re sending their college-age children into a safe environment.

As the first weeks of college get under way, students will get caught up in the excitement of their homeaway-from-home and the newly found freedoms it brings. College life offers so many enriching opportunities for students to build relationships and lay the foundation for their futures.

Personal safety may not rank among the highest of priorities when new friends head off to socialize around athletics and the many other activities and programs of college life.

But when the unthinkable happens, victims have a right to know that they will be treated with respect, and sexual assault will be

U.S. Senate Charles Grassley Republican

treated like the crime it is, not swept under the rug or treated like a charge of plagiarism or cheating on a test. The best prevention is the deterrent effect of swift but fair punishment of perpetrators.

Underreported or unreported rapes that occur on college campuses are part of the problem.

That sweeps an ugly reality under the rug. It’s time for a reality check that takes fairly into account the rights of victims, while assuring due process for the accused. The stigma attached to rape has discouraged victims from reporting sexual crimes in communities and institutions of American society, including the U.S. military.

Like so many areas of wrongdoing, transparency is key to shedding light on the issue. Improving reporting tools will help bring this issue out of the shadows so universities can work to build a safer environment. This summer I joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers to introduce federal legislation that would hold colleges accountable for responding to sexual violence, including measures to improve reporting, counseling and prevention.

Our bill would require colleges and universities to conduct anonymous surveys, polling students

about sexual misconduct on campus. Results would be published online. Prospective students and parents would be able to factor in these surveys during their college search. Transparency is a remarkable disinfectant to help root out wrongdoing.

The bill also would put teeth in the law that requires colleges and universities to report campus crimes, including financial penalties for noncompliance. It would require confidential advisors for students to call upon for counseling or to report a sexual assault.

On-campus advocates would help vulnerable young men and women get through the difficulty, doubt and uncertainty. It also would set the standard that sexual assault is a crime and ensure that colleges inform students that it will be treated as such, including full cooperation with local law enforcement when the victim chooses that path.

Many colleges are taking steps to address sexual violence. For those that need incentives to do more, our bipartisan legislation would spell out the consequences in federal statute.

Our institutions of higher learning ought to implement the highest standards of ethical conduct and expectations for respectful, lawful behavior among the nation’s next generation of leaders.

There’s no excuse for flunking the fundamental standards of fairness and justice that every college student deserves. Denying a problem exists is Injustice 101.

BUSINESS/FARM

Savings incentive program receives gift from Ag Connect Greenfield Rehabilitation AMES — Practical Farmers of Iowa has received a sizeable gift to its savings incentive program. This summer, the board of directors of the Iowa non-profit Ag Connect voted to donate about $60,000 to the program, which seeks to help the next generation of Iowa farmers develop successful businesses through mentorship, business planning support and the opportunity to save money and earn matching funds. The Ag Connect support will allow Practical Farmers to provide savings matches to an additional 24 beginning farmers.

“PFI is a good organization,” said Paul Jones, a lawyer from Clarinda who serves on the Ag Connect board of directors and also raises cattle with family near Bedford.

“We had these funds left and Practical Farmers seemed to have the same kind of philosophy and practice – helping and encouraging small family farmers – that Ag Connect was all about in the first place.”

Ag Connect originally received the funds from Heifer International to offer beginning farmers no-interest livestock loans. Bill Beaman, director of Ag Connect and a fellow board member, said the group was able to take the money, loan it all out and receive repayment, and then “re-loan almost the entire amount a second time.”

Over the past nine years, the program successfully helped beginning farmers in six Iowa counties get started raising everything from cattle and sheep to goats and

honeybees.

A few years ago, however, Beaman said the 10-member Ag Connect board started to feel the livestock loan program had run its course.

“It was getting harder to find those to give the loans to,” said Beaman. “Interest rates have dived and the Farm Service Agency has become a lot more progressive.

We were proud to hang our hat on this. Now by passing the money off to Practical Farmers, it’s our hope that this original grant can be recycled yet a third time.”

Ag Connect was originally created in 2000 to make connections between retiring farmers and new farmers.

After a few years, John said that part of the organization’s work started to “run its course.” Around the same

time, however, Jones said the group got the grant from Heifer International and transitioned into the livestock loan business. Jones was able to use his expertise as a lawyer to help guide this new focus. With the transfer of those funds to Practical Farmers, Ag Connect will officially end – but Practical Farmers will carry on the Ag Connect tradition of helping Iowa’s beginning farmers.

Beginning and aspiring farmers who want to learn more about the savings incentive program can visit www.practicalfarmers.org.

Applications are now being accepted for the next group of enrollees, who will be part of the class of 2016. Those interested should submit an application by Oct. 3.

ENTERTAINMENT What’s in Worcestershire Sauce?

Dear Readers: WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE is a staple in many kitchens, one of which is mine! I love the stuff and mix it with soy sauce or red-wine vinegar to use as a dip for egg rolls. Chances are there is a bottle in your kitchen. But how much do you really know about it? Which of the following is NOT an ingredient in regular (original) Worcestershire sauce?

A) Tamarind extract B) Molasses C) Pepper D) Anchovies E) Garlic The answer is C, pepper!

Tamarind extract, molasses, anchovies and garlic all are found in Worcestershire sauce. The tamarind extract comes from a fruit and is actually one of the ingredients that sets Worcestershire sauce apart from other sauces. — Heloise STUFFED MUSHROOMS Dear Heloise: I read your hints daily in the (Waterbury, Conn.) Republican-American and find them really helpful, or there are some I already do and didn’t think they were good enough to share. Here’s one that I love, and it saves me a ton of time and mess:

Hints from Heloise I use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to fill mushrooms after I mix up my stuffing mixture. This results in perfectly mounded stuffed mushrooms every time! Yum! — Laurie B. in Connecticut QUICK-FIX FOOD Dear Heloise: I keep a bottle of my favorite Italian-style salad dressing in my pantry all the time. This “can do” liquid helps make a delicious meal. I marinate chicken before baking and add to cooked pasta and vegetables for a delicious pasta salad. And I place cut-up meat in the slow cooker, add some salad dressing and put it on rolls for a dinner sandwich.

— Janet D. in Indiana These are all clever uses for Italian dressing and examples of how cooking can be fun and easy when experimenting in the kitchen. I like to add different spices and substitutes in recipes. (However, my husband, David, does question some of my “tests.”) Many of my hints and recipes are in

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

Heloise’s Seasonings, Sauces and Substitutes pamphlet.

To order one, please send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Seasonings, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Another simple marinade for meats is equal parts soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. — Heloise ROASTING PAN Dear Heloise: The roasting pan is not just for chicken anymore. I love cooking spaghetti in it, and it’s great for corn on the cob. It’s my new favorite pan to cook with. The shape of the pan just works better for many foods. I have a stainless-steel one, but I’m sure any type would work. — Claire in Florida Many people use this hint, BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker especially if cooking for a crowd. Readers, try it, and you may discover that you have a new cooking tool. — Heloise PEPPER PLACEMENT Dear Heloise: When making stuffed peppers the other day, they kept falling over. I placed them in my fluted cake pan. Much easier to stuff, and they don’t fall over! — Gina W. in Kentucky (c)2014 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

Horoscope Thursday, Aug. 28, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a lovely day to deal with friends, particularly in a group situation. Expect to discuss big plans and big ideas with enthusiasm! This might include plans for travel.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is an excellent day at work for you. Work-related travel is likely. However, a discussion with a female colleague will lift your spirits.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Accept all invitations to party today, because this is a playful day! Enjoy sports events, schmoozing with others and fun activities with children.

(Romance can flourish.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Invite the gang over, because you will enjoy entertaining at home today. The more the merrier! It’s a good day to explore real-estate deals as well.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a great day to sell, market, teach, act and enjoy talking to others. You’re in a positive frame of mind, and that’s all it takes. (Amazing what a difference a day can make.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Business and commerce are favored today.

If shopping, you might consider a big purchase because you feel confident and enthusiastic about what you want to do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, dancing with lucky moneybags Jupiter, which makes you feel happy both at work and at home. And yet, it’s also a good day for business!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Work alone or behind the scenes today, because you value your privacy. You’re focused, and you don’t want to be spread too thin.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Conversations with a female friend will be upbeat and fun today. This person might introduce you to an enthusiastic group. Someone or something will promote your goals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Because you make a great impression on people in authority today, now is the time to ask for what you want.

Make your pitch!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You have big ideas for travel plans down the road today,

and they’re exciting! Some of you have similar big ideas about publishing, the media, medicine and the law.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Keep your pockets open, because you stand to benefit from the wealth and resources of others today. Or you might have a chance to use something that someone else owns.

Just say, “Thank you!”

YOU BORN TODAY You are intelligent, articulate and have an excellent use of language.

Needless to say, you are con-

vincing! You can quietly persuade others to do what you want. This year you will start to accumulate things for the next three years. However, do not make important changes — wait until next year. Study and learn as much as possible, because next year is promising!

Smith launches Stop the Relax and enjoy our Money Madness campaign Smith currently serves on the city council in Lamoni and previously pursued state legislature positions ■

Ruth Smith, an Independent candidate, has officially filed with the State of Iowa as one of the six U.S. Senate candidates for the 2014 election.

Her Stop the Money Madness campaign expresses her primary concern about the strong “puppet strings” of big money donors who control elected officials once they get into office.

“In our current system, both Democrats and Republicans are dependent upon enormous amounts of money to fund their election and reelection campaigns,” Smith said. “The political world clearly understands that the candidate with the most mon-

ey will most likely win. I want the system to change so that our leaders are more honestly considering the interests of regular people instead of big money contributors.”

Smith has a persistent interest in political leadership at every level.

She currently serves on the city council in Lamoni and has previously pursued state legislature positions.

Her val- Smith ues include personal responsibility, honesty, compassion and justice.

These values will direct her policymaking.

“Iowa voters will learn to trust me…I am very direct and honest with people,” Smith said. “They will quickly see that their perspective matters to me and that I will fol-

low through for them.”

For more information, go to www.ruthsmithforsenate. com.

Smith’s interest in public service led her to complete a master’s degree in public policy and administration.

For more than 20 years, Smith has worked in the health care system as a physical therapist. She also has experience in small business and education.

“My diverse experience in the work world has been very challenging and rewarding, but none of it compares to my commitment to family and public service,” Smith said.

Smith has been married to her husband Ted for 24 years and has three children, Trevor, Sidnee and Karli.

Smith encourages Iowa voters to contact her by phone or email.

Her cell number is 641-4425261 and email: ruthsmithforsenate@gmail.com.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Timely homer KANSAS CITY — Alex Gordon hit a tworun homer in the ninth inning, giving Kansas City a 2-1 win over the Minnesota Twins and helping the Royals avoid their first three-game skid since mid-July.

The Royals had been shut down all night by Ricky Nolasco, who scattered three hits over seven innings. But after going quietly in the eighth, the AL Central leaders managed to break through against closer Glen Perkins (3-1) in the ninth.

Alcides Escobar led off with a blooper to shallow right for a single, and Gordon followed by swatting the second pitch he saw over the right-field wall for his 10th homer.

Wade Davis (7-2) earned the win with a perfect ninth inning in relief.

USC questions LOS ANGELES — Southern California coach Steve Sarkisian says the school is investigating defensive back Josh Shaw’s claim that he injured both of his ankles jumping off a balcony to save his nephew from drowning.

Sarkisian said USC has received several calls contradicting Shaw’s story about the circumstances leading to his two high ankle sprains. Shaw’s story was told in a detailed post on the Trojans’ website Monday hailing the team captain’s heroism, but Sarkisian acknowledged USC isn’t exactly sure what happened.

“We’re looking at it,” Sarkisian said after practice Tuesday morning.

“Josh is adamant with what occurred, and we’ll continue to vet some of the other stories that have come across our desk or across our phones, and see where we can go from there.”

Lt. Andy Neiman of the Los Angeles Police Department also said Tuesday afternoon that a man named Joshua Shaw was mentioned — but not as a suspect — in a report involving a Saturday night break-in at a downtown apartment building.

Sarkisian said he had “no history to not believe Josh and his story,” but acknowledged the situation was increasingly murky.

Football season is here, and the Creston News Advertiser coverage area teams are ready for the season to begin.

“They are tired of beating on each other,” Lenox head coach Allen Dukes said about his team. “They want to go against somebody different, because at this time, everybody kind of knows what everybody is going to do. We need to see somebody different.”

The Tigers will get that opportunity Friday night when they travel to East Union to take on the Eagles in the first game under new co-coaches James Hardy and Craig Ditzler. It is the only matchup of two area teams on Friday.

It will also mark the first game at East Union with new lighting in the stadium that should enhance the viewing experience from the stands.

“I think with this new lighting, you’re going to be able to see our scoreboard better,” Hardy said. “ T h a t whole stadium has had a nice Hardy facelift over the past several years. They say it’s going to be a nice improvement.”

Hardy said the key to the Eagles being successful against Lenox on Friday will be ball control.

East Union running back Jonathan Weis tries to shake off Lenox defender Spencer Brown during last year’s meeting between the two teams. The Eagles and Tigers square off at 7 p.m. Friday in Afton, in the lone matchup of two area teams in week one.

one of the biggest things is you don’t want to turn the ball over to Lenox on threeand-outs,” Hardy said. “I think if we can maintain our drives and finish them out with scores, I think that’s a big part of it. Without doing that, it puts a lot of pressure on our defense.”

Hardy said Lenox provides East Union with a

quality, well-coached opponent right out of the chute.

Discipline will be key for the Eagles.

On the flip side, Dukes said his team must be prepared for anything with the new coaching staff in place at East Union.

“Since they have a new coaching staff, we have no idea what they’re going to

run offensively and defensively,” Dukes said. “With coach Ditzler being there for a few years, and I know c o a c h H a r d y has been Dukes around,

“It’s a great legacy that he’s left for the school,” Nodaway Valley head coach Steve Shantz said. “He’s immortal up here.

He’s got a memorial up there right outside the stadium.

SWCC opens at home tonight after 3-0 loss at Indian Hills

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

OTTUMWA — It was more rugged competition for the Southwestern volleyball team Tuesday night, with a 3-0 loss at Division I unbeaten Indian Hills.

The Warriors improved

to 6-0 with a 25-14, 2514, 25-16 victory over the young Spartan squad, which fell to 1-4 for the year.

“They have tall hitters and blockers in the front row,” said SWCC coach Ting Liu. “They are Division I with 16 on their roster, and they are very good players.”

The freshman-dominated Spartan team was led by the allaround play of Carmen Subbert of Stan- Subbert ton, who had a

team-high five kills and nine defensive digs. Madison Walston of Bedford added four kills.

Bailey Preston, freshman setter from Omaha, finished with 15 assists for kills. Mikayla Prott, 6-foot freshman middle hitter, finished with three assisted blocks.

The Spartans’ home

opener is tonight at 6:30 against conference rival DMACC, which is off to a 3-1 start this season. A fans tailgate, with pulled pork sandwiches served, will be held in the Student Center from 5 p.m. until match time.

DMACC is ranked ninth on the preseason Division II poll.

CiCi Bellis, 15, youngest U.S. Open winner since ‘96

By HOWARD FENDRICH

AP Tennis Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — While 15-year-old American CiCi Bellis was in the process of stunning a Grand Slam finalist to become the youngest player to win a Bellis U.S. Open match since 1996, her father did his best to conceal his emotions courtside.

Like many a teen, CiCi has strict rules for Dad in public — even if his 1,208thranked daughter is pulling out a back-and-forth 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 victory Tuesday over 12th-seeded Dominika Cibulkova in the first round at Flushing Meadows.

“I’m told I cannot sigh and I cannot move or say anything (because) that distracts her, so I just have to sit there like a Sphinx and just smile and pray,” the elder Bellis, Gordon, explained with a deadpan delivery. “She hears me when I sigh. So I can’t sigh.”

thing that I had to do today,” said Bellis, whose nickname CiCi is derived from the initials of her first and middle names, Catherine Cartan.

Bellis plans on playing in the U.S. Open junior tournament. She lost in the third round of that event last year; she lost in the first round of the Wimbledon juniors last month.

But on Tuesday, there she was in front of a supportive, overflowing crowd on Court 6 at Flushing Meadows, taking it to Cibulkova, the Australian Open runner-up.

“I went into the match thinking it was going to be such a great experience,” said Bellis, whose rapid-fire sentences tend to finish with a gurgle of laughter, “but I never thought I would come out on top winning.”

giance to Britain by then.

And Bouchard made it clear Tuesday that: “I never had any Canadian tennis influence. I looked up to the best: Steffi Graf, Maria Sharapova. I remember watching Monica Seles playing. Any great champions, I looked up to.”

In the early 1980s, Canada’s Carling Bassett enjoyed something of a breakthrough on the international stage, even as she was working as a fashion model for the renowned Ford agency.

Bassett advanced to the 1984 U.S. Open semifinals (a straight-sets loss to Chris Evert) and made three other career major quarterfinals (two at the French, one in Australia).

Bassett married American pro Robert Seguso, three times a major-tournament doubles champion.

Of their five children, the youngest son has played Futures tennis on and off.

So the path was pretty clear for Bouchard to make Canadian tennis history.

In only her second year as a pro, her only Slam event losses have been to the eventual champions, to Li Na in the Australian semifinals and to Sharapova in the French semis before Kvitova whipped her for

the Wimbledon crown.

There were tears shed after that loss, Bouchard said, but “I learned a lot. It was an experience I’ll never forget. I have happy memories from that day, as well.

It was a very special occasion.”

That she immediately bombed out in her competitive homecoming, losing to the 113th-ranked player in her first match at the Montreal hard-court event early this month, didn’t especially faze her, Bouchard said.

It was, after all, the eighth time in 14 non-Slam tournaments that she didn’t get past her first match. But on the biggest stages, she has proven to be legit.

“In terms of the lead-up to a Slam,” she said, “I got asked about it a few times, and I looked back on my year … and I performed well in every one of the Slams. I don’t think there is a magic recipe that, if I get to the quarters of a [tour] event, I’ll do well at the Slam.”

And don’t worry, Canada. Bouchard acknowledged being a hockey fan.

NEW YORK — Tennis hardly is the new hockey in Canada. But 20-yearold Eugenie Bouchard of Westmount, Quebec, has been causing a real stir in the sporting news for Our Neighbors to the North.

In the first three Grand S l a m events of 2014, Bouchard’s impressive roll—two semifinals and a Bouchard final, unmatched by any player, man or woman — suddenly has branded her the future of women’s tennis.

On Tuesday, she stoked that fire a bit by barreling through her first-round U.S. Open match over Belarusian Olga Govortsova, 6-2, 6-1.

As for the present of women’s tennis, familiar names carried on without incident: No. 3 seed Petra Kvitova, No. 8 Ana Ivanovic and former U.S. Open champ Samantha Stosur all won in straight sets, and two-time Australian champ Victoria Azarenka advanced, as well.

But back to the future.

Iowa notes: LB spots are FOOTBALL: open, so is kicker/punter Continued from page 1S

By SCOTT DOCHTERMAN The Gazette

IOWA CITY — Two Iowa linebacker positions remain in flux as the team nears its opener against Northern Iowa.

Entering fall camp, true sophomore Reggie Spearman was listed as the starter at weakside linebacker and junior Travis Perry was slated to open at outside linebacker. But the regular season’s first depth chart lists Spearman as a co-starter with red-shirt freshman Josey Jewell at weakside linebacker. Perry, who has played in 24 games with one start, is joined by red-shirt freshman Bo Bower as a costarter at outside linebacker.

Spearman played on special teams and on thirddown situations as a pass rusher last year. Bower and Jewell both sat out. But all three have one year in the program, “They’re all kind of the same, they’re all kind of different,” Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz said. “In Reggie’s case, he was the furthest ahead last August, so we made the decision t h i n k i n g Ferentz ahead that — kind of like the A.J. Edds story — that we thought he’d be in

the mix, and if he could help us on special teams, play on third down, that might be a way to get his feet wet and help move him along further.

“Josey emerged more so in the spring. He did a good job on the scout team and Bo did the same. But in the spring they really started to emerge and it started looking like they could maybe fit in somewhere, somehow, some way.”

Middle linebacker Quinton Alston is the only bona fide starting linebacker entering the regular season.

He said he’s comfortable with whomever lines up beside him.

“At some time during camp, if it’s in a regular defense or some type of sub packages, we’ve all practiced together before so we’ve all been on the field at the same time,” Alston said.

“We’ve all had to communicate on and off the field as well so I feel like we’re all comfortable together.”

It’s likely several linebackers see plenty of action in Iowa’s first few games before the depth chart settles.

“I think it’s probably going to take some game experience to find out who really rises,” Ferentz said.

Extra special teams Iowa’s kicking situation has come down to the wire, and it’s still not quite over.

Juniors Connor Kornbrath and Dillon Kidd remain locked in a battle at

Cardinals after seeing mixed signals from film study.

“The first game is so tough,” Shantz said.

“We’re looking at last year’s film to maybe see what they did. Today, I told the coaches first and then told the kids, we’re preparing for last year’s team. It’s a new year.

They’ve got new people in.

You never know how it’s going to go.”

Shantz said the key to his team being successful Friday night will be taking care of what it does.

“Hopefully we can be in a position to win it in the fourth quarter,” he said.

Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m.

punter. Junior Marshall Koehn and true freshmen Mick Ellis and Miguel Recinos still are competitive at place-kicker.

“If we were playing tomorrow — which we’re not — but if we were playing tomorrow, Dillon Kidd would start out as our punter and Marshall Koehn would start out as the place-kicker,” Ferentz said. “The good news is it wasn’t so good a year ago, or at least in the spring it wasn’t good the way we finished up. But I think all four of our guys have really competed.

“The two punters, Connor and Dillon, have done a nice job, and really it’s a very close competition.

The same thing with Marshall and Mick, and Miguel is just a little bit behind them. But I think despite the open scrimmage where we didn’t placekick very well, we’ve gained ground there. We’re eager to see those guys compete in game situations.”

Kidd, the son of former NFL punter John Kidd, averaged 38.2 yards a punt last year at El Camino Community College. Kornbrath punted 65 times last year for Iowa with a 40.0 average.

Koehn, who hails from Solon, converted one extra-point attempt and kicked off once last year behind Mike Meyer.

Tough opener Mount Ayr opens its season with a road trip to Class 2A power Albia, which was a state quarterfinalist last year.

It will be a matchup of speed vs. speed, featuring the Drake Relays 4x400 champion Albia and Mount Ayr, which dominated Class 1A at the Coed State Track Meet in the spring.

“That’s got to be probably one of the toughest non-district games we’ve ever played,” Mount Ayr co-coach Delwyn Showal-

ter said.

“Since w e ’ v e gone to district football, I don’t know that we’ve had Showalter a tougher opponent than Albia. They had a tremendous run last year, and they bring back a number of those kids.

That’s going to be a big test for us.”

And that’s exactly what Mount Ayr was looking for when scheduling nondistrict games.

The Raiders struggled to find teams willing to put them down on the list of teams they hoped to play. They wanted to find a tough opponent, and no one seemed to want to give them the opportunity.

“Albia, they were good enough to agree to play us,” Showalter said. “We have good history with Jerry Staton from when he was at Pella Christian.

I knew they were kind of in the same boat. When we called and talked to him, Jerry right away said they’d play us. I’m really grateful that he was willing to do that. He’s taken a little bit of heat in his community, I think. We’re a Class A school and he’s 2A, stepping down to play

us. But we’re very appreciative of him being willing to do that.”

Kickoff for that game is 7:30 p.m. in Albia.

New regimes A pair of area teams under new leadership look to get the season started on a positive note on Friday, as Murray travels to Mormon Trail and Southwest Valley hosts Clarinda Academy.

Murray is now coached by former Lamoni h e a d c o a c h Taylor Fulton, who succ e e d s K e i t h Fulton Shields.

Shields remains on the staff as a volunteer assistant coach.

Southwest Valley, meanwhile, m o v e s up from EightMan to C l a s s 1A and is now c o a c h e d Casagrande by former Sioux City Bishop Heelan assistant coach Bob Casagrande.

Both teams kick off their seasons at 7 p.m.

IOWA: Continued from page 3S

Injury time Ferentz confirmed defensive tackle Darian Cooper had knee surgery on Monday and likely will miss the rest of the season.

Cooper, a junior, redshirted in 2011 and will be a senior next fall. The 6-2, 282-pound junior has played in the last 25 games and started twice in 2012.

He has 52 career tackles and one sack.

“He’s had some knee issues for the past year, and he was able to play in the bowl game despite some of those issues and just hasn’t been able to push forward,” Ferentz said.

“We don’t expect him to play this year. He’s a tremendous young guy, and it’s hard any time anybody loses time for an injury.”

Cooper joins fullback Adam Cox (ACL) and wide receiver Riley McCarron (shoulder) on this season’s injury report. Cox won’t play this year, while McCarron might return around early October.

Wide receiver Damond Powell (hernia surgery) returned to practice early last week, which surprised Ferentz. Powell is listed as a second-team wide receiver this week.

“He’s ahead of the charts and I don’t know if those charts were based on people my age or a young athlete who’s actually in good shape, but Damond is a pretty resilient guy,” Ferentz said. “He’s really come back quickly from it.

His attitude has been great all the way through.

“I don’t think he had contact until the end of the

last week, but he’s looked good out there in practice and he’s got some catching up to do. But at least he’ll be with us and helping us out.”

Fresh forum It appears Iowa will play at least three true freshmen this week and possibly more. They include defensive back Miles Taylor and linebacker Ben Niemann.

Linebacker Aaron Mends was converted to fullback to help replace Cox and also may see some action.

“I think it’s fair to say we’ll play Miles Taylor, we’ll push him ahead,” Ferentz said. “Ben Niemann certainly is going to be pushed ahead, and we’re toying around with Aaron Mends over on the offensive side. We actually have fooled around with him at fullback with Adam being

out just so we don’t get knocked out of fullback packages. So he’s done a good job there. And then Mick Ellis is a good possibility, too. Hopefully we don’t get there, but he’s a possibility.”

Neither did her parents.

Her mother, Lori, wasn’t there because she gets too nervous watching in person, Gordon Bellis said. So Lori stayed at their hotel, getting updates via text from Gordon.

“She asked how bad it was going in the first set.

And so I told her (CiCi) actually won the first set.

She couldn’t believe that,” Gordon said. “We were just thankful that she didn’t get double-bageled.”

After trailing 3-1 in the third set — “kind of a bummer,” Bellis would say later — she came back to even things, and then broke the 25-year-old Cibulkova in the final game. When it ended, Bellis crouched at the baseline and pumped her fists, then ran over to the stands for congratulatory hugs.

“I didn’t expect her to play so aggressive today.

I thought she’s kind of a player who’s just putting the ball back and running around,” Cibulkova said.

“That didn’t happen to-

day. She was really aggressive on the court and that maybe surprised me in the first set.”

Bellis was making her main-draw tour-level debut, having earned a wildcard invitation from the U.S. Tennis Association by winning the USTA Girls’ 18s National Championship, the youngest to do since Lindsay Davenport also won it at 15 in 1991.

Not since Anna Kournikova was 15 in 1996 had someone so young won a match at the U.S. Open.

And not since Mary Joe Fernandez was that age in 1986 had an American done it.

“Now it’s time for her to refocus, not get too excited about this first round. Just get back to business,” said Fernandez, an ESPN analyst.

Next up for Bellis is a second-round match against 48th-ranked Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan. And Gordon Bellis said Lori might decide to attend that one. No word on what sort of rules Mom will have to follow.

Sad note Ferentz opened his news conference by offering his condolences to the family of Susan Denk, who spent 15 years covering Iowa football for The Hawk Eye in Burlington. Denk, 39, died last week from a heart attack.
