Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker talks U.S.-China relations in Greenfield

“We fought, won and actually got results on the things that matter to everyday working families, individuals and seniors and did it without compromising common-sense conservative principles. If we can do all that in a blue state like Wisconsin, it’s not too late for America.”

GREENFIELD — After Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker made a statement Monday urging President Obama to cancel a state dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping, there was concern whether he would lose support in Iowa, as the state exports millions of dollars in soybeans to China annually.

Walker, who is campaigning for the Republican nomination for president, has since has put an emphasis on Iowa, stating he will visit all 99 of its counties. On Thursday morning, he held a meet and greet at The Corner cof-

fee shop in Greenfield, where he further explained his view on U.S.-China relations and discussed his main platforms: reform, economic growth and safety.

In his speech Thursday, Walker worked to appeal to the crowd of Iowans by naming his accomplishments in Wisconsin, including tackling a $3.6 billion budget defi-

cit, lowering property taxes and cutting taxes by billions of dollars for small business owners, farmers and manufacturers.

“We fought, won and actually got results on the things that matter to everyday working families, individuals and seniors and did it without compromising common-sense conservative prin-

ciples,” Walker said. “If we can do all that in a blue state like Wisconsin, it’s not too late for America.”

by Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad to attend a meeting in Beijing with Xi. Branstad has had a Please see WALKER, Page 2

Axel Martwick, 3, of Creston fills his cup during an open house at Discovery Kids Preschool Wednesday evening. Martwick will be attending preschool there on Tuesdays and Thursdays this year. Kristie Nixon, early childhood education director with Southwestern Community College, said this morning that preschool numbers are down this year in Creston and urges parents with 3- and 4-year-olds to register soon as preschools will start later this month or early in September.

There are five preschools in Creston including Creston Head Start, Discovery Kids, Trinity Lutheran, Creative Beginnings and St. Malachy. Nixon reminds parents the state does pay for 4-year-olds to attend preschool for 10 hours per week.

Library board discusses architect drawings

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

Pros versus cons.

That was the focus of Creston Library Board when it met earlier this week to discuss preliminary drawings recently produced by FEH Associates of Des Moines for an 8,995-square foot expansion to Gibson Memorial Library. Nearly all board members gave positive feedback on the drawings.

“I’m really pleased with how the architects took the dialogue, conversation and comments (during the design charrette) and moved them into what looks to be a pretty functional space,” said Connie Maxson, library board member.

David Hargrove, library director at Gibson, did have concern with the lack of added space designated for print materials.

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say Hargrove it now, I’d like to have a facility that will accommodate print materials for the next 20 to 30 years, rather than the next two to three years,” Hargrove said.

In the proposed expansion, the library’s entire Please see LIBRARY, Page 2

The executive director at the Southern Prairie YMCA in Creston will retire from her post Dec. 31.

Jacki Steffen has been director there since 2006. In a letter to members, Valerie White — president of the YMCA board — thanks Steffen on behalf of the board for her dedication and also for providing leadership at the Y during those years that resulted in facility improvements, growth in programs and services for the community.

“This is a family-based decision (by Jacki) that we respect. Jacki will certainly be missed,” White said.

White said the Y board has Steffen already developed a transition committee that will work with the YMCA of the USA to conduct a national search for Steffen’s replacement and develop a plan that will build upon the success of the Creston YMCA today. The position will be posted both locally and nationally with resumes accepted through Oct. 14.

The board hopes to have a replacement no later than Nov. 19, with Steffen’s successor starting Dec. 14. “(The YMCA) has been a part of the Creston community for 20 years and plan to be here for all future generations to come,” White said.

print collection would move to the upper floor. But, it’s unknown exactly how much space this move would add for print materials.

“Yes, we are doubling the floor space of the library (with this proposed expansion), and the lower level is devoted to a cultural center,” Hargrove added.

The board does plan to ask FEH Associates to provide square footage for each of the spaces (children, adult, meeting room, computer, arts center, etc.) in the proposed expansion. What is known is the arts/cultural center blueprinted for the lower level of the library would have approximately 2,588 square feet of space.

For the past two weeks, Hargrove has been actively recruiting members of the art community to attend a meeting 5:15 p.m. Monday at the library whereby they will discuss how the arts/cultural center space should be used. He’s invited Creston: Arts along with civic organizations, quilters, theatre, genealogy and many more to attend.

Contact Hargrove at 641782-6507 if interested in giving input about uses for the new arts/cultural center space.

There is still no cost es-

timate for this expansion.

However, board members said earlier this week they expect the cost of this expansion to be in the range of $4 million. An official cost estimate from the architects will be forthcoming.

Hargrove said information compiled from this week’s board meeting and Monday’s meeting with the arts community will be forwarded to the architects so they can proceed with the final design of the library expansion.

The capital fundraising campaign for this expansion will start sometime after a final design is reached.

Meeting Monday The Creston Library Board of Trustees is holding a meeting at the Gibson Memorial Library 5:15 p.m. Monday to gather input from Creston: Arts and other Union County arts organizations on the development of the expanded library and cultural center.

With several meeting spaces and a cultural center for the arts, the library’s proposed expansion will be able to host civic groups of all types.

Contact Gibson Memorial Library Director David Hargrove at 641-782-6507 with any questions about the event.

LORIMOR — The DNR is following up on a manure spill in Union County that flowed into a nearby farm pond over the Aug. 22 to 23 weekend.

The DNR’s initial investigation Aug. 24 indicated liquid manure from Sunrise Pork of Lorimor flowed into a small sediment pond and then into a 6.5 acre pond. The manure runoff occurred after land application on Aug. 18, followed by rainfall.

Laboratory results from water samples are pending. However, field tests confirmed ammonia levels were elevated where the

It helps for producers and applicators to discuss field variables such as tile intakes, amount of cover, steep grades and conditions of conservation practices before manure is applied,” Nanfito added.

DNR is checking manure management plans to determine if manure was applied at rates and with methods specified in the manure management plan.

The DNR will monitor the cleanup and take appropriate enforcement action.

good relationship with the Chinese president since Xi first visited Iowa in 1985.

During the meeting in Beijing, the governors and Xi discussed the importance of international partnership.

On Monday, Walker took a stance against China when he stated President Obama should cancel the state visit with Xi. Walker has argued China is no longer a trustworthy ally due to its cyberattacks against the U.S. government and private businesses.

Walker further explained his view on the issue Thursday morning.

“We should continue to do trade around the world, but I said we should cancel the state visit because that’s one of the highest honors we give to another country,” Walker said. “Why would we be giving a state visit to a country we know was directly involved in cyberattacks against the government of the United States? We need to send a message that that is fundamentally unacceptable.”

Reform On Thursday, Walker discussed his plans for reform, including giving more power to the states.

“I’m talking about taking ... (responsibilities) like Medicaid, transportation and education out of Washington and sending them to Des Moines, to Madison, to places where it’s more effective, more efficient and more

accountable to the American people,” Walker said.

“It’s the right thing to do, and long-term, it will help us deal with our debt and deficit problems.”

Related to the subject of state power, Walker answered a question from Iowa State Representative Clel Baudler, who worked 32 years as a state trooper and is in his 18th year in the state legislature.

“I believe the illegal use of prescription medication and the illegal use of street drugs is going to take this country down,” Baudler said. “Everybody’s talking a b o u t immigration and ISIS. Why don’t we Baudler talk about something that will take this country down from within?”

Walker agreed it is an increasing problem, especially opiates and heroin.

“Part of (the solution) is working with pharmacists, not just across the state but across the country, to help make sure ... kids or abusers aren’t getting access to them,” Walker said. “Another part is providing viable means of treatment and getting people into treatment rapidly.”

Walker said one of the best things to do is continue to send more resources back to the state. He said a one-size-fits-all plan doesn’t

work because “certain types of drugs are concentrated more in urban areas, and others, like opiated meth, are increasingly found in more rural parts.”

“I would like the federal government to send us more flexibility in handling those resources, as opposed to the government creating more programs in Washington and then dictating how states use them,” Walker said.

Economic growth Walker then explained his ideas for economic growth and argued there is too much emphasis on Washington.

“Last year, six of the 10 wealthiest counties in America were in and around Washington, D.C. That’s because the folks out there think you grow the economy by growing government,” Walker said. “Government doesn’t create jobs; people create jobs.”

One of his solutions is to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

“ObamaCare is technically called the Affordable

Care Act, but it’s been anything but affordable for small business owners and others,” Walker said. “We’ll replace it with a plan that puts patients and families back in charge.”

Part of Walker’s plan is to give those who don’t have health insurance from an employer a refundable tax credit that increases with age, not income, that can be used to buy health insurance.

Safety As he talked about the importance of safety in the U.S., Walker said former President Ronald Reagan was the best president in ensuring national security and foreign policy.

“Under President Reagan, we rebuilt our military, we stood up for our allies, we stood up against our enemies and we stood – without apology – for strong American values,” Walker said. “That led to one of the most peaceful times in modern American history.

We did it before; there’s no reason why we can’t replicate that going forward.”

Cellphone contacts get backed up Dear Heloise: Lisa in Kansas wrote that she backs up her CELLPHONE CONTACTS to a separate (paper) address book. I thought to myself that there has to be an easier way.

There is, and it’s email.

From my phone, I sent myself four emails (split the alphabet into four groups) and did “attach.” They are now available to me from any computer via my email account.

Way easier than having to write all this down in a book.

— Sue in Ohio Very smart indeed, Sue! Sometimes, though, there is a comfort level in having important information written on paper. Too many people have lost their cellphones, or had the computer crash. Always have a backup! — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com TOGETHER NO MORE Dear Heloise: Help! I have two glasses that are stuck together. Is there any way to get them apart without breaking one? — Diane, via email Diane, don’t give up. Here

Hints from Heloise are some HELOISE HINTS to try: Fill a large bowl, or the sink, with warm to hot water.

Set the bottom glass in it, then fill the top glass with ice cubes and cold water. Cold contracts, so the top glass should shrink a little. Heat generally expands, so the bottom glass should “loosen” up. Give it a while, then gently pull them apart.

Or drip some lightweight oil (machine or cooking oil) between the glasses. Let it sit for a day or longer. Then gently pull them apart. Hope this helps! — Heloise TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: We just returned from a weeklong vacation. Of course, I took too many clothes. When packing to return home, I individually rolled all the dirty items and placed these items in one suitcase, along with the shoes we had worn. The rest of the garments were folded and placed in the other suitcase.

When I got home, I did not have to sort clean and dirty garments. It was easy to tell

what was headed for the laundry. — E.W., via email Love it! One of the dreaded chores coming home from a vacation is laundry! Why wash what you don’t have to?

I use the dry-cleaning bag from the hotel to hold soiled clothes. Keeps the other items clean. Also, if I have time, I hand-wash lingerie at the hotel so it’s clean for the next trip.

Road warrior for too long!

— Heloise PAPER FLIP-FLOPS Dear Heloise: I love getting pedicures! My hint involves the paper flip-flops they give you so you don’t mess up your nails. I save them and throw them into my gym bag or take them when I go on vacation. They make great shower shoes. — Lisa P., Nashville, BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker Tenn.

SAVE ON KIDS MEALS Dear Heloise: My family and I eat out occasionally, and since we have small children, it can get costly. Many restaurants offer times that kids eat free. We have a list on the refrigerator that we consult before going out to dinner. We don’t always go somewhere on the list, but when we do, it really saves money. — Kristin K. in Atlanta (c)2015 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

Horoscope Saturday, Aug. 29, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Tension with co-workers might arise today because of the Full Moon energy. The key to this is simply to be patient with everyone, including you. Make your day easier for yourself.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Romance might be rocky because of today’s Full Moon.

Likewise, energy surrounding children, vacations, sports and social events might be hyped.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The Full Moon today puts you in a tug-of-war between home and family versus career and reputation. This time you cannot ignore home and family.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful, because this is an accident-prone day due to the high energy of the Full Moon.

When people become too emotional, they are distracted; and this is what can promote accidents. Be cool.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Disputes about earnings, money and possessions are likely today because something will come to a head. It might even be a dispute about the ownership of something.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. This is why you find it challenging to deal with partners and close friends. Be loving and patient (for your own good).

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Quite likely, you will have to be more patient than usual with co-workers and anything that is job-related. Actually, everyone has to be patient because of today’s Full Moon. No biggie.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The Full Moon today will create tension with children, romantic partners and social events. Just accept the fact that you can’t be all things to all people.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your dealings with authority figures and, possibly, family members are challenged because of today’s Full Moon energy. Knowing this ahead of time, demonstrate grace under pressure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be careful, because this is a mildly accident-prone day for you. Therefore, be aware of whatever you say and do. Be mindful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) Discussions about shared property, inheritances and insurance matters might be difficult because of heightened feelings due to today’s Full Moon energy. Postpone these discussions if you can.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. Naturally this makes you a bit hyped and emotional, which is why relations with others are difficult.

YOU BORN TODAY You are creative and imaginative; nev-

ertheless, you like predictability, structure and order in your life. You know how to adapt to fit in or accept change. This year something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for something new. Take it easy and learn to serve others. This is a good year to travel.

HEALTH

Study finds cataract surgery leaves patients satisfied (Family Features) By 2030, 38 million Americans will suffer from cataracts, a number that will increase to 50 million by 2050, according to the National Eye Institute of the National Institutes of Health. The most common treatment for cataracts is surgery, and new research suggests its benefits are strong.

A study of patient satisfaction surveys revealed that almost all patients who undergo cataract surgery are satisfied with their vision and quality of life post-surgery. The study, from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) Institute for Quality Improvement, showed that 99.7 percent of patients would recommend the procedure to friends or relatives suffering from cataracts. Ninety-six percent of patients reported that their vision was better post-surgery, and 98 percent said they were comfortable during the procedure and post-discharge.

What’s more, 96 percent returned to normal activities of daily living within one week of the procedure.

“The data clearly shows that patients find value in

cataract surgery and are generally very pleased with the outcomes of the procedure,” said Naomi Kuznets, Ph.D., vice president and senior director for the AAAHC Institute for Quality Improvement.

Cataracts occur when protein builds up on the

lens of an eye, making the person’s vision cloudy.

According to experts at the Mayo Clinic, common symptoms of cataracts include clouded, blurred or dimmed vision, increasing difficulty with vision at night and sensitivity to light or glare. Individuals expe-

riencing these symptoms should consult an ophthalmologist to see if they are candidates for cataract surgery.

“The satisfaction numbers in this study show how worthwhile cataract surgery is for so many individuals,” said Kris Kilgore, R.N.,

AAAHC Institute board member and administrative director of Grand Rapids Ophthalmology Surgical Care Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. “Every day we hear from patients who have improved quality of life thanks to this procedure. This study bears out

empirically the wonderful anecdotes we hear from patients every day.”

Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure, meaning it requires no overnight hospital stay.

During cataract surgery, a surgeon makes a small incision to remove the cloudy lens, and then replaces it with a clear, manmade lens.

To reduce the costs of the procedure and for patients’ convenience, surgeons commonly schedule cataract procedures at surgery centers, which are small surgical facilities that may be on a hospital campus or offsite.

The safety of these facilities is overseen by government regulators and by accrediting bodies such as AAAHC. During an accreditation evaluation by AAAHC, a trained medical professional visits a surgical facility to personally verify its adherence to patient safety, quality care and value standards.

If you are a candidate for cataract surgery, visit www. aaahc.org to find a local AAAHC-accredited facility.

Getting bugs to bug off In 2009’s “Land of the Lost,” when a mosquito of gargantuan proportions bites Will Farrell, he seems oddly oblivious. But for 20 percent of folks with just the right blood type, metabolism or a love of beer, being bitten by mosquitoes (over and over) can cause anxiety, itching and more itching.

What makes you mosquito bait? Skeeters favor folks with blood type O twice as much as those with type A; B is in between. And 85 percent of folks secrete a chemical signal through their skin announcing their blood type to tuned-in mosquitos!

The pests also can smell appealing (to them) lactic acid, uric acid and ammonia mixed in with sweat. They like higher body temps, too. So, these chemicals can make you a target — especially when you exercise.

Your skin’s naturally occurring bacteria also can say “bite me!” And drinking just 12 ounces of beer can make you a mosquito magnet!

How can you keep these gals (only female mosquitoes bite) at bay without pesticides?

—One study found that rubbing 32 percent lemon eucalyptus oil on your skin offers 95 percent protection for three hours. Not for kids under 3.

—Five percent thyme oil on skin offers (lab animals) 91 percent protection. Make it with four drops per teaspoon of olive oil.

—Catnip oil on your skin is 10 times more effective than DEET, according to a University of Iowa study.

We’ve just scratched the surface of alternative skeeter repellants, but we hope

you’ll bite, and give them a try.

SCREEN TIME AND ALZHEIMER’S When teen idol Chris Hemsworth played a computer hacker in this year’s “Blackhat,” moviegoers wondered how someone who spends his life sitting in front of a computer screen could look so over-the-top athletic. Wanna know a secret? He can’t!

The average North American adult (70 percent are overweight) sits for five to eight and a half hours a day in front of a TV, computer, smartphone, gaming consul, tablet, etc. Clearly, there’s not a lot of time left for moving around! But screen-gazing (or grazing) is so integrated into every minute of the day that you probably don’t realize how much time you spend sitting and staring.

Well, here’s some bigtime incentive to get aware, get up and get going!

A new study tracked 3,200 people for 25 years and found that watching four or more hours of TV a day damages the brain early in middle age and increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s later on. We bet all screens contribute!

So what’s your best brain-loving plan?

—Set a reminder alarm so you walk around every 3060 minutes.

—Get a standing desk, or a treadmill desk like Dr. Mike’s.

—Use a pedometer or smartphone to count your daily steps — you want 10,000, no excuses.

—Get at least 30 extra minutes of extra physical activity five days a week (three days cardio, two days resistance exercise).

—Put down your phone; turn off the computer. Talk to your friends and family face-to-face. The study also found that isolation (and, boy, does screen time fuel that) increases cognitive decline.

YOUR FAT CHANCE OF BEATING STRESS In Monty Python’s “The Meaning of Life,” the maitre d’ of a French restaurant (John Cleese) persuades the monstrously obese patron Mr. Creosote (Terry Jones) to have just one more little after-dinner mint. When Creosote eats the mint, he explodes all over the restaurant.

True, a healthy amount of body fat has great powers: It promotes reproductive health, good skin quality and clear thinking. Fat cells also help trigger chemical reactions that control growth, immune function and other aspects of basic metabolism. But too much body fat (visceral fat around your organs and fat under your skin) does more than make your jeans tight. In addition, it triggers massive inflammation and increases your risk of everything from depression to cancer. And a new study says it sets off

a cascade of signals to your noggin that changes how your brain deals with stressful events and metabolism.

In short, excess body fat can interfere with your ability to turn off your stress response, putting you into cortisol-fueled, heart-damaging, immune-system-weakening, memory-decaying, food-craving overdrive. You get sucked into a vicious cycle of overeating, feeling stressed and then overeating (wrongly) to feel soothed.

The good news is that knowing this gives you a powerful way to feel more relaxed and lose weight: Get yourself on a Five-FoodFelon-free diet (no trans and little sat fat; no added sugars or syrups; and no grain that isn’t 100 percent whole); start walking 10,000 steps a day. Then your brain can start helping your body shape up and calm down.

But in Colorado, where recreational marijuana is legal and marijuana-laced cookies and other consumables account for 45 percent of the drug’s sales, marijuana cookies can turn into lethal monsters.

That’s because some potlaced cookie-eaters get impatient when there’s a lag time between ingesting the drug and feeling its effects (it takes 30-60 minutes), so they eat more and more, until they’ve gobbled a mega-dose. Just recently the Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention released a report about an emotionally stable young man who started shaking, screaming and throwing things before leaping off a roof in Denver last year, all because he ate one or two THC-laced cookies.

The recommended dose — a sixth of a cookie — didn’t seem to be having an effect, so he ate six to 12 times that amount. And besides, who can eat a sixth of a cookie?

(Several states have approved capsules and gummi bears for people with endstage disease, and Colorado and Washington are experimenting with them for the general public.)

Legal or not, around 20 million North Americans say they’ve used marijuana in the past month. So it’s important that you and your kids know the risks. Teens who use pot may permanently impair their brain’s ability to retain learning, form memories and think clearly. And regular use is associated with depression, anxiety and relationship problems.

The best highs? Endorphins from exercise, and dopamine and oxytocin from great-tasting, good-for-you food, friendship, laughter and love.

GRAB A PROTEIN BLAST BEFORE YOU HEAD INTO THE RING Things didn’t look good for Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) when he fought Clubber Lang (Mr. T., who pitied the fool) in “Rocky 3.” Then Rocky started taunting him, “You ain’t so bad!” Clubber lost his cool and wore himself out, and Rocky won the fight.

The lesson? Whether you’re off for a brisk walk

or a championship bout, it’s important to eat right so you don’t run out of steam.

A recent study says that the best way to do it is to grab a protein blast before you exercise. It can steady blood sugar and keep cortisol levels tamped down, something pre-workout carbs don’t do.

And it helps preserve muscle mass without weight gain, while boosting your metabolic rate and your calorie burn all day long.

Pre-workout protein: Getting a dose 20 minutes before strength training can cause an 8 percent increase in metabolic rate for 24 hours and increase resting energy expenditure by an average of 6 to 6.5 percent for up to 48 hours. Smart snacks: A few ounces of low- or nonfat Greek yogurt with walnuts, pumpkin seeds, natural nut butters on whole-grain crackers, lean meats like sliced turkey breast, a salmon burger or hummus and veggies.

Everyday protein intake: Research indicates that it’s smart to increase your overall protein intake (legumes, nuts, fish and whole grains) moderately to build muscle tone and keep your metabolism humming, especially as you age. But it’s also important to eat protein throughout the day, not just a large amount at once. *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

Free mobile app features destinations in Iowa DES MOINES—Iowa Gov. Terry E. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds announced this August the launch of Iowa Culture, a new interactive mobile app that puts the largest, most comprehensive statewide collection of Iowa arts, history and cultural destinations in the palm of your hand.

“I travel to all 99 counties every year, so I know t h e s e destinations are points of pride that c o n n e c t Branstad Iowans and visitors to the stories of Iowa,” Branstad said. “I am very pleased we now have this fun and interactive tool that helps people discover

and experience Iowa’s bestkept secrets. I encourage Iowans and others to download Iowa Culture and use it today.”

“The Iowa Culture app not only serves as a marketing and promotional tool, it also offers life-long learning opportunities for people of Reynolds all ages and across all generations as they discover and experience Iowa,” Reynolds said. “I am especially pleased this project aligns with our STEM (Science, technology, engineering and mathematics) initiative by showcasing the use of digital technology as an educational tool, while connecting Iowans with even

The Iowa Culture app includes more than 3,500 historic sites, arts experiences and cultural destinations.

■

more opportunities to learn across Iowa. I join Governor Branstad in encouraging Iowans to download it and use it today.”

The Iowa Culture app includes more than 3,500 historic sites, arts experiences and cultural destinations, including sites on the National Register of Historic Places, museums, historic schools and theaters, performing art centers, public art and science and nature sites.

Through the app, people can plan vacations, weekend getaways and daytrips all across Iowa with a simple search by category or subcategory, keyword or destinations in their immediate vicinity. Users can also filter

their search by town and view destinations as far as 50 miles or as close as one mile to the chosen town.

They can also create their own tours or explore featured tours included in the app.

The department began working on the app in 2013 when it recognized Iowa needed a comprehensive inventory of arts, history and cultural destinations. In 2014, the department hosted 30 community conversations across the state to ask Iowans for input on local cultural vitality and how the state historical building could be a hub for Iowans interested in arts, history, historic preservation and

other cultural initiatives.

“During these community conversations, Iowans said they want their communities to be promoted as progressive, innovative and culturally healthy,” said Mary Cownie, Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs Director.

“Iowans also said they want to increase awareness of and ensure greater sustainability for Iowa’s hidden gems. The Iowa Culture app delivers on those requests by giving people information they can use to discover and explore all of the cultural amenities that Iowa has to offer.”

The Iowa Culture was developed by the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs and is free and compatible with most iPhones and Android Smartphones. It is available for download by searching “Iowa Culture” in the Apple and Google Play

stores.

The Iowa Culture app will continue to grow and evolve as more destinations are identified and added. Iowans are encouraged to suggest a place, submit photos, provide feedback and get more information by visiting www.iowacultureapp.com.

In conjunction with this announcement, the Department of Cultural Affairs is launching the Iowa Culture selfie contest.

Iowans and others are invited to share their most creative selfie at any of the destinations on Iowa Culture and share it on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with #iowaculture for a chance to win exclusive experiences and getaways to some of Iowa’s unique cultural destinations. Visit www.iowacultureapp.com for details and official rules.

New Jersey teacher who was late for work 111 times keeps job with a macro-default position that even when he is late he nevertheless delivers a superb educational experience to his grateful students,” the arbitrator wrote.

The arbitrator found that the district failed to provide Anderson with due process by providing him with a formal notice of inefficiency or by giving him 90 days to correct his failings before terminating his employment.

The district has withheld raises for his tardiness and Anderson will remain suspended without pay until Jan. 1.

New state regulations that cover the filing of tenure charges require rulings by state-appointed arbitrators that once took years to occur within 90 days, making it easier to accuse teachers of inefficiency.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — An elementary school teacher has been allowed to keep his job even though he was late for work 111 times over a twoyear period.

In a decision filed Aug. 19, an arbitrator rejected an attempt by the Roosevelt Elementary School to fire 15-year veteran Arnold Anderson from his $90,000-a-year job, saying he was entitled to progressive discipline.

Anderson was late 46 times in the most recent school year through March 20 and 65 times in the previous school year, the arbitrator said. But the arbitrator criticized Anderson’s claim that the quality of his teaching outweighed his tardiness.

He relied on “micro-quibbles of a few unpersuasive explanations,

Wolverines can’t dig out of early hole against Winterset

By SCOTT VICKER

The number of runs scored by the Mets in their last 7 games, the most in franchise history for a 7-game stretch.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Cards sweep PHOENIX — Brandon Moss hit his first home run with St. Louis and Tony Cruz hit his first of the season, leading the Cardinals to a 5-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night to complete a fourgame sweep.

It was the Cardinals’ fifth straight win overall and they finished 7-0 against the Diamondbacks this season.

Moss’s tiebreaking tworun shot in the fifth inning off starter Rubby De La Rosa (11-6) put the Cardinals ahead 5-3.

Carlos Martinez (13-6) earned the win with six innings of four-hit ball, allowing three runs and striking out six with two walks.

The Diamondbacks loaded the bases on three walks issued by Cardinals reliever Steve Cishek to open the bottom of eighth, but Seth Maness ended the threat unscathed.

GREENFIELD — Volleyball is a game of momentum, and Thursday night, Nodaway Valley looked to be on its way to snatching some momentum back from Winterset in a non-conference match here.

The Wolverines led 20-15 in game two after a dominant stretch by Mackenzie Meisenheimer and Josie Clarke.

But Winterset rallied for a 27-25 win in the game to take a 2-0 lead over the Wolverines, eventually winning the match 3-1 by scores of 25-14, 27-25, 21-25, 25-14.

“Volleyball is definitely a game of momentum, and unfortunately they got some momentum and ran with it,” Nodaway Valley head coach Hannah West said. “It was pretty tough to bounce back, but we did in that third set and we pulled it out, thankfully.”

Trailing 11-7 midway through the second game, Meisenheimer smacked a kill, putting Kenna Lundy on the service line.

Lundy served six straight points, as Meisenheimer added another kill and a block, while Clarke had a block in the run.

After Winterset ended the service string by Lundy, another Meisenheimer kill made it 15-12 in favor

Instead of a 1-1 tie, the Wolverines faced a tall task in coming back from a 2-0 deficit.

Nodaway Valley started game three with a 7-0 lead, though, on the strength of another Meisenheimer kill and a pair of aces from sophomore Sadie Marnin.

The Wolverines held leads of 17-9 and 20-11 in the game, before Winterset rallied late to draw within 23-21 on an ace from Shae Olson.

A Jessica Nelson block returned the serve to the Wolverines, who won the game 25-21 when Winterset hit the ball out of bounds after a rally.

“We had a little bit better passing in that third set and we were being a lot more aggressive with our hitting and our serves,” West said.

“So we had the other team out of system a lot more and we were able to keep our offense running.”

Meisenheimer led the Wolverines with 10 kills and five blocks in the match, while also serving 1 0 - o f - Meisenheimer 12 with two aces.

Creston News Advertiser Friday, August 28, 2015

Creston native’s website geared toward sports gambling, fantasy leagues CLINTON — As an 8-yearold, Scott Levine used to join in with his dad, Kirk, in picking games for the Professional Football Prognosticators (PFP) circulating among members of the Creston Elks Lodge.

The idea was, who could be best at picking the winners of football games?

One year while still in elementary school, Scott took first place in that league of adult “experts.” He still proudly owns that plaque.

The 2004 graduate of Creston High School, now associate editor of the Clinton Herald newspaper, has put that lifelong hobby of watching sports and predicting winners into an online hobby of sorts.

Last May, Levine launched a website — www.againstthechalk. com — through GoDaddy, an Internet domain registrar and web hosting company. GoDaddy owns the domain name and serves as the hosting site for an annual fee.

It is described on its home page as “a content driven website devoted to fantasy sports and sports gambling ... looking at sports through the prism of fantasy, giving readers a different take than the traditional sports story.”

Draft time

With many NFL fantasy football league drafts being held this weekend and next week, Levine’s articles have timely content. In such leagues, “owners” draft players whose performance in real games is scored on a point system to determine fantasy league winners.

“Some stories have focused on what players represent the best value for their average draft position in fantasy football,” Levine said, “while other stories have focused on examining how well each power five (college) conference team will do this year compared to their projected

Straight shots Larry Peterson sports writer

over/under win totals.”

The website produces about 20 stories per week, or 80 stories per month. To date, Levine has authored each of the articles, based on his own research.

“I usually look at stats, which you can find anywhere,” he said.

“And I watch a lot of sports. For example, if a player is suspended, then I might talk about what that might to do his draft position. I formulate an opinion. It’s really the kind of thing I’ve been doing all of my life, this just gives me an outlet for it.”

Lifelong hobby

Scott and wife Christina are the parents of two children, 5-year-old Phoebe and 2-yearold Emmett, with another due in September. Between parenting and his day job working in news, Levine — a former sports writer for the News Advertiser and Northwest Missouri State University student newspaper — hasn’t had much time to write about his passion.

He said he’s not a sportswriter because working nights wouldn’t fit his family needs, so this latest venture is a means for “scratching that itch.”

“I don’t get to do much sports with my job,” Levine said. “I work on this (website) stuff a lot at night after we get the kids to bed, or may- Levine be for awhile when I come home for lunch.”

Besides working with GoDaddy, Levine had some help in launching the website. Korey Wilson, brother of News Adver-

Area volleyball CD triangular LEON — Mount Ayr picked up a pair of huge Pride of Iowa Conference wins here Thursday at the Central Decatur triangular, knocking off host Central Decatur and one of the POI title favorites Bedford.

The Raiderettes lost the first game of the match to Class 1A 10th-ranked Bedford 25-20, before bouncing back to win the next three games and the match 25-14, 27-25, 25-20.

“Great start to the season coming out of tonight 2-0, also beating Central Decatur,” Mount Ayr head coach Tori B r a b y said.

Kelcie Shields s m a c k e d K. Shields

11 kills and had seven total blocks, including five solo blocks, against Bedford.

Kirsten Dolecheck added six kills, while Sadie Frost finished with four kills and three total blocks. Tessa Shields recorded three kills and four total blocks.

Tessa Shields also served 12-for-12 with three aces against the Bulldogs. Blair Glendenning was 17-19 with two aces, while Alyssa Johnson also served two aces.

Johnson set 15 assists and had three total blocks.

“Blair Glendenning and Alyssa Johnson had outstanding games defensively,” Braby said. “Johnson is quick and many times gets to balls that we think are hitting the ground and then all of a sudden, she is there.”

The home page of Scott Levine’s sports website, “Against the Chalk,” launched earlier this year.

tiser managing editor Kyle Wilson, is a professional web designer and offered Levine some tips.

And, the official logo at the top of the home page for “Against the Chalk” was designed by classmate Amy Goldsmtih, a self-employed graphic designer.

“It was great to have Amy’s help on the logo, and Korey talked to me about some things I should think about in doing this,” Levine said. “It was great to have their input.”

For the time being, there is no revenue associated with the site. Just expenses, in the form of the hosting fee by GoDaddy.

But, Levine thinks he may be in on the early stages of what could become a larger venture nationwide.

“ESPN has shows devoted strictly to fantasy sports,” Levine said. “MSNBC and CBS Sports host shows on the topic and websites. There are radio shows on

Public notice

fantasy sports and handicapping games. Newspapers are kind of the last ones in the media to really get involved.”

Levine has had discussions with managers at the Clinton Herald about utilizing some content from his site in the paper, and “down the road” he could see the effort expanding into other newspapers.

“You guys (News Advertiser) have the Athlon sports service just like we do, along with the wire services you use,” Levine said. “This would be just another resource to use for content.

Whether it ever gets associated with sponsors paying for advertising space, where I would write the content, that’s a possibility either in newspapers or online sites, but we’re certainly not close to anything like that. I’m sure some of that would depend on the number of followers it has.”

For the time being, Levine sends out free email newsletters to subscribers and posts his content online with no charges.

Looking ahead

While fantasy sports leagues in all sports have gained popularity in mainstream America, gambling is still illegal in most of the nation. When asked about content for sports wagering, Levine said he’s mainly looking ahead to future possibilities.

“I know New Jersey just had a proposal to legalize sports gambling and it was rejected,” Levine said. “But I was just listening to ‘Mike and Mike” on the radio on the way to work today, and they were talking out how $400 billion is spent illegally every year in the United States on sports wagering.

You have to think at some point, it will become legal. I feel that way.

Outdoor news Avian flu surveillance

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is participating in a national surveillance effort to test waterfowl for the presence of avian influenza. Testing began this summer as part of the DNR’s annual waterfowl banding work and will continue with hunter harvested ducks this fall and winter.

The project is coordinated by the USDA Wildlife Services that is targeting watersheds by season. This fall, hunters in the Upper Mississippi, Iowa, Skunk and Wapsipinicon River watershed and the Chariton and Grand River watershed may be asked to have samples collected from their harvested ducks. Later this winter, the focus shifts to the Missouri and Little Sioux River watershed.

“We are targeting dabbling ducks – teal, gadwall, wid-

geon, mallards are the highest priority and hope to fill our sample quotas on the opening day of regular duck season,” said Orrin Jones, waterfowl biologist with the Iowa DNR. Watersheds were selected based on the likelihood that dabbling ducks would be intermingling with other ducks and were assigned quotas to determine if avian influenza is present in the watersheds: 60 samples, 80 samples and 140 samples, respectively.

Collection takes only a few minutes and no hunter information is taken. Hunters can be notified of the results if they choose.

While the sample collection is focused on specific watersheds, Jones asked that hunters from all parts of the state call the DNR if they find five or more dead ducks in an area.

“That is a situation we would like to investigate,”

Jones said.

Hunters concerned about avian influenza should avoid taking ducks that appear sick or unhealthy or are acting odd, and should clean, rinse and cook it thoroughly.

Hunters should also avoid eating, drinking or smoking while field dressing the fowl.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the risk of becoming sick from a duck contaminated with avian influenza is very low.

Rabbit and squirrel seasons

A person doesn’t need to travel far into the Iowa countryside to know there are a lot of cottontail rabbits out there, which is good news for rabbit hunters.

“Cottontail populations on average are 50 percent higher than we’ve seen over the last 10 years,” said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife biologist with the Iowa Depart-

ment of Natural Resources.

“Our cottontail populations remain strong statewide with the highest densities in southeast Iowa.”

Iowa’s cottontail rabbit population estimate is part of the August roadside survey that will be available online in early September at www. iowadnr.gov/pheasantsurvey.

Iowa’s squirrel population generally follows the acorn production and 2014 was a pretty good year for bur oak and red oak acorn production meaning 2015 should be a pretty good year for squirrel numbers.

“Squirrel hunting was once an important part of our heritage but hunter interest has shifted to other species, primarily deer,” said Jim Coffey, forest wildlife research technician with the DNR. “Squirrels are definitely an underutilized resource.”

Rabbit and squirrel hunt-

ing is an inexpensive way to introduce novices to hunting with little competition and is a great way for experienced hunters to get their equipment out from storage and sharpen their outdoor skills before pheasant and deer seasons begin.

Squirrel season is Sept.

5-Jan. 31, 2016, with a daily bag limit of six squirrels and a possession limit of 12. There is no restriction on shooting hours.

Rabbit season is Sept.

5-Feb. 28, 2016, with a daily bag limit of 10 rabbits and a possession limit of 20.

Shooting hours are sunrise to sunset.

Hunters looking for places to go rabbit or squirrel hunting should use Iowa’s online hunting atlas at www.iowadnr.gov/hunting, with more than 600,000 acres of public

land that allows hunting.

National trapping survey

Iowa trappers who purchased a fur harvester license for the 2014-15 season may be selected to participate in national survey of the use of traps by trappers.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources a partner in this survey that is being conducted by the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies in order to have the most current information on the use of traps to guide research on the best management practices for trapping for the next 10 years.

Iowa trappers participated in the survey in 1992 and in 2004.Trappers began receiving the survey on August 20.

Nearly 18,700 Iowa furharvester licenses were sold in 2014.

Fishing report The Iowa Department of Natural Resources issues a weekly fishing report on Thursdays in an effort to provide the latest information heading into the weekend. The weekly fishing report is compiled from information gathered from local bait shops, angler creel surveys, and county and state parks staff. For current information, contact the district fisheries office at the

phone number listed at the end of each district report.

In the next 10 to 15 years, especially the way daily fantasy leagues are flourishing now, it will be legal in a lot of places. It won’t be in that backroom, dark secret place anymore. The NBA has already said they would embrace it.

“It’s coming,” Levine added. “Maybe that’s another reason to get on the train before it totally gets here, you know? A lot of what I’ve done so far is look at win total projections out of Las Vegas, and talking about why teams could go over or under those numbers, like eight wins listed

as a line for Iowa. I’d look at the factors that could go into that total ending up lower, or higher than that number. Once the season starts, I’ll start picking games looking at the published point spreads.”

He thinks his website might be a start of something that could be commonplace in the years to come.

“My goal is for newspapers to recognize this content has value, because the other major media companies are already on the bandwagon,” Levine said.

“And, both of these entities (fantasy and gambling) aren’t THEgoing IOWAaway.”

WOLVERINES: Continued from page 1S

Schildberg added four kills and two blocks, while Nelson had three kills and three blocks. Clarke finished with three kills and two blocks.

Lundy set 26 assists.

“Mackenzie was huge tonight,” West said. “They just could not stop her. She definitely was not going to be slowed. When she goes in for those quicks, it’s really hard to get their blocks up and she can just place it wherever she wants. It was good to see her step up to the plate.”

Nodaway Valley fell to 1-4 for the season, after starting the season 1-3 at the Dallas Center-Grimes Tournament on Tuesday. The Wolverines lost to DC-G, Fort Dodge and Urbandale, while beating PCM.

“It’s good to have a challenge,” West said. “We just have to keep the girls’ self-esteem and self-confidence up.

“We definitely had some shining moments. I wish we had more. But they did a good job. You could tell it’s early in the season. We definitely have some things to sharpen up, but I think there’s potential there.”

Nodaway Valley returns to action Tuesday at Martensdale-St. Marys.
