Council decides aesthetics for new bridge

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

A new bridge to be constructed on Adams Street next summer will certainly add beauty to McKinley Park.

Engineers with Calhoun-Burns and Associates presented three aesthetic options for this new bridge to Creston City Council Tuesday evening.

Dave Koets, ward 5 councilman, favored the most pleasing to the eye, which was “option 3” that included a Texas rail bridge with structured steel railings along the bridge’s 10-foot bike/ walking path. (See photo on page 2A) “A lot of time and effort has been put into that park,” Koets said. “I don’t want to put something cheesy in there.

This bridge should look pretty dang

fancy, even if it will cost more.”

The other six council members agreed with Koets and voted unanimously for that option. In that vote, the council also decided to illuminate Koets the 70-foot bridge with two light poles placed at the beginning and end of the bridge’s bike/ walking path that overlooks McKinley Lake. As well, the council went with window type D for the bridge. (See photo right) “This bridge could be something Please see NEW BRIDGE, Page 2A

This Texas rail bridge recently completed by Calhoun-Burns and Associates has similar windows to the one that will be completed on Adams Street in Creston next summer. The current bridge on Adams Street was built in 1940 and is in need of replacement. The total bridge project is expected to cost $1.7 million with it mostly being paid for through a federal grant.

Fire Prevention Week

By BAILEY POOLMAN

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

It’s been 90 years since former President Calvin Coolidge designated the first full week in October as Fire Prevention Week, and Creston Fire Department is one of many departments promoting fire prevention to local youngsters.

The theme for 2015 is “Hear the beep when you sleep,” which means to have smoke alarms in every sleeping room, in addition to the basic protocol of having an alarm on every floor.

“The biggest thing we tell peo- Jackson ple is to be prepared for a fire,” said Todd Jackson, Creston fire chief. “You can’t always prevent them, but you can get out safely.”

Active in community Fire prevention became an important issue after the Great Chicago Fire that ravaged the city in 1871, killing more than 300 people and leaving more than 100,000 homeless.

“Oct. 8, 1871 was the Great Chicago Fire, so it’s a week that fire de-

partments emphasize fire safety in preparation of fire disasters,” Jackson said.

Creston firefighters actively raise fire awareness by doing presentations for kids at local schools. They do in-class presentations, where one firefighter discusses with kids how to have a plan of action and escape the burning building the correct way, while another shows kids the gear firefighters use and explains to not be afraid of them.

“We go to all the schools. I think that’s 1,150 students, and we hand out material,” Jackson said. “We’ll do extinguisher classes for our factories and our commercial properties.

We do some inspections and give suggestions to owners about things to improve fire safety.”

Creston Fire Department is also hosting a pancake supper today from 5 to 7 p.m. at the fire station, 500 N. Sumner Ave. Pancakes, sausage patties, juice and coffee will be available, and fire gear, trucks and other equipment will be showcased for those interested.

Here are some statistics for home fires and deaths, according to the National Fire Protection Association: • In 2013, reported home fires

The theme for the 90th annual is “Hear the beep when you sleep,” promoting having a smoke alarm in every sleeping room in your house.

■

“You can’t always prevent them (fires), but you can get out safely.”

— Todd Jackson

Creston fire chief

killed an average of eight people every day.

• Of those deaths, half were during reported fires that occurred between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.

•A quarter of reported home fire deaths were caused by fires in a bedroom. Another quarter were caused by reported fires in the living room, family room or den.

• Between 2007 and 2011, three out of every five reported home fire deaths were caused by fires in houses with no smoke alarms, or no working alarms.

• Working smoke alarms cut the risk of death in a reported home fire in half.

“Fires are going to happen, so you can’t necessarily prevent all the fires,” Jackson said. “Obviously, we can reduce all the things (that cause fires), like combustibles too close to a flame. ... Probably our biggest emphasis is on preparation in case you have a fire. Our big goal is to make sure people get out safely.”

McKinley Park mural

a red wisp of train engine steam on the new mural in McKinley Park this morning. Creston art students designed the mural, which is located on the west side of the basketball court. The students and Creston art teacher Bailey Fry-Schnormeier (pictured in back) have been working on the mural over the past few weeks. The colorful design includes a lake reminiscent of McKinley Lake, balloons in the sky for Balloon Days and a representation of a train, paying homage to elements of the previous mural. Fry-Schnormeier said depending on weather and paint availability, it could be done this month.

Cumberland woman sentenced for filing false tax return DES MOINES — Kathy Joan Cullen, 67, of Cumberland was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for filing a false tax return Oct. 1, said United States Attorney Nicholas A. Klinefeldt.

Cullen was also ordered to serve one year of supervised release following her term of incarceration.

Cullen had previously pleaded guilty to the charge.

According to the plea agreement, Cullen embezzled money from her employer, 21st Century Cooperative.

Cullen wrote more than $1.3 million in checks to herself over a period of six years

and deposited the proceeds into a personal bank account.

Cullen was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $1,384,374.24 to 21st Century Cooperative, $422,411.35 to Internal Revenue Service and $131,040.64 to the state of Iowa.

The sentence was imposed

by Chief Judge John A. Jarvey. The case was investigated by Cass County Sheriff’s Office and Internal Revenue Service — Criminal Investigations, and prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.

High five rural traffic safety project to begin Through enforcement, engineering and education, participating agencies have the goal of building a safer community.

■

DES MOINES — Alarming statistics involving fatalities on Iowa’s rural roadways are cause for major concern.

That is why the Iowa Department of Public Safety’s (DPS) Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) is once again launching a year-long targeted traffic safety project in five rural counties to reduce rural fatalities.

In 2014, 78.35 percent of fatalities in Iowa occurred on rural roads. Approximately 79 percent of Iowa’s total roadways are considered rural in nature.

On Oct. 1, five county sheriffs and the Iowa State Patrol began special efforts through an initiative identified as “High Five Rural Traffic Safety Project” (High Five) to focus on traffic safety on Iowa’s rural roadways. After reviewing five years of crash data and looking at counties with low seat belt compliance rates, the GTSB, along with a multi-disciplinary team of traffic safety professionals, selected five rural counties to participate in this project.

The counties participating in the project are Boone, Jackson, Lee, Monona and Poweshiek. The High Five project will involve a three-tier approach to include enforcement, engineering and education, with the ultimate goal of building a safer community.

Through enforcement, media and community outreach, participating agencies will work to educate drivers on the benefits of complying with traffic laws with an emphasis on Iowa’s seat belt law. From an engineering aspect, the focus will be to identify low-cost safety improvements throughout the county.

The county sheriffs and county engineers within the High Five counties and the Iowa State Patrol are conscientious safety advocates who understand rural roads are unique because they are shared by a variety of vehicle types from passenger vehicles to large machinery and other farm implements traveling at slower speeds. The road surface types and speeds also vary.

Patrick Hoye, bureau chief of the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau said, “Because the High Five project is focusing on several key aspects of crash reduction we are confident this innovative program will be successful in saving lives.”

Enforcement efforts on roadways with higher volumes are common, but with Iowa’s rural fatality rate above the national average, the need to have a special program focusing coordinated efforts on rural safety has become apparent.

The High Five project in the aforementioned counties will begin Oct. 1 and will conclude on Sept. 30, 2016.

Funding for overtime enforcement efforts is provided

by Federal Highway Safety Grants administered through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Iowa DPS Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau.

The “High Five Rural Traffic Safety Project” originated in April 2014. The initial counties participating in the project included Allamakee, Fremont, Marion, Palo Alto and Webster. In the first year of the project each county recorded an increase in seat belt usage with the most significant change occurring in Allamakee County where an increase of 42.62 percent occurred between April 2014 (61 percent) and April 2015 (87 percent).

For further information in regard to the High Five Rural Traffic Safety Project, contact Hoye at 515-725-6120 or hoye@dps.state.ia.us.

neat,” said John Kawa, chairman of the Creston Parks and Recreation Board. “If this bridge lasts as long as that (current) one, it would really be something for other people and families to see.”

The current bridge, needing replaced, was built in 1940.

Replacement for this bridge, including the aesthetics decided on Tuesday, is expected to cost $1.7 million. However, the city received an 80/20 federal grant and other funding to pay for this replacement and the city’s financial commitment for the project is estimated at $365,000, which has already been budgeted.

In other city council news: • Todd Jackson, fire chief in Creston, reminded the council it is Fire Prevention Week. He said local

by Calhoun-Burns and Associates is similar to what will be constructed on the Adams Street bridge in Creston next summer.

firefighters are on schedule to talk with 1,150 students about fire prevention and safety. He also invited the community to the department’s annual pancake supper 5 to 7 p.m. tonight at the Creston fire station.

• Mike Taylor, city ad-

ministrator, thanked Creston: Arts and high school students for painting the McKinley Park underpass.

Also, at the last council meeting, Taylor thanked members of Salem Lutheran Church for painting the retaining walls on South

Elm Street.

• The city raised the pay for part-time city dispatchers to attract more applicants and then retain those employees. The raise in pay did help as about 12 applied for the open position recently and officials are currently in the hiring process.

Donate blood to support cancer patients COUNCIL BLUFFS — During Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, the American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood to support cancer patients and others needing blood products.

According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the U.S., with one in eight developing invasive breast cancer in their lifetime. Breast cancer patients may need

blood products during chemotherapy, mastectomy surgery or treatment of complications.

Blood donor Mary Thorngate Hall is one such example. She was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer in 2010.

“I began treatment with my first round of chemotherapy lasting six hours.

My body did not tolerate it, and I began to hemorrhage,” Thorngate Hall said. “I needed blood to survive. I cannot express

my gratitude to the people who donated their lifesaving blood.”

Volunteer donors are the only source of blood products for those needing transfusions. Donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with types O negative, B negative, A negative and AB blood.

To make an appointment to donate blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App from app stores or text BLOODAPP to 90999 to receive a download link, visit redcrossblood.org or

call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Upcoming blood donation opportunities in Adair County are: Greenfield Oct. 22: 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., Nodaway Valley High School, 410 NW 2nd St. Orient Oct. 28: 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., Orient-Macksburg High School, 201 School St. And in Union County: Afton Oct. 20: 8 a.m. - 2 p.m., East Union High School, 1916 High School Dr.

Finances of caregiving series planned in Greenfield GREENFIELD — Most people wait until there is a crisis to plan for long-term care. “Finances of Caregiving” is a new series of five two-hour workshops to help families plan together for the care receiver’s care. The series runs from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 13 to Nov. 17, at the Warren Cultural Center green room in Greenfield.

“It is important to plan ahead while the care receiver still has the capacity to sign legal documents. It is also important to involve all members of the family so that the care receiver’s wishes are clearly understood,” said Sandra McKinnon, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach human science specialist, family finance. “Life expectancy for Americans continues to increase, so it is more and more likely that most adults will end up caring for an elderly parent or relative.”

The five-workshop series will help families plan ahead for the care of their family members.

■

Long-term caregiving has significant financial consequences for caregivers, particularly for women. If it is necessary for caregivers to leave work or reduce hours, they will need to prepare for retirement while providing care.

“Understanding your choices means knowing your current situation,” McKinnon said. “This program guides you through finding and collecting that information. In this workshop, caregivers and care receivers may create an information binder to help family members when a crisis does occur.

It will take time, but it will be time well spent.”

To register, contact the ISU Extension and Outreach office of Adair County, 154 Public Square, Suite C, in Green-

field, or call 641-743-8412.

A nominal fee covers a financial binder.

The workshop series is sponsored by the ISU Extension and Outreach council of Adair County as part of an effort to address family caregiving issues and improve the health of family caregivers and their

family members in a holistic way. Other programs scheduled next spring include “Powerful Tools for Caregivers,” a series of workshops to help caregivers reduce stress and discover community resources and “Living well through Intergenerational Fitness and Exercise,” a unique physical activity program for older adults.

OPINION Following the gun violence pattern

You don’t even have to wonder what will happen now that nine more random shootings have occurred in the most innocuous of settings: the classroom of a community college. The pattern is well-established.

There will be an initial outpouring of grief.

There will be outrage, except, of course, from the likes of some presidential hopefuls like Jeb Bush, who reacted with a shrug and basically said, “Stuff happens.”

There will be a cry for new gun laws.

There might even be legislative rumblings.

The National Rifle Association and its powerful lobby will stress

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

how the same killings might have happened with a knife, or perhaps not at all if only a professor or a student or two also had been packing.

Then there will be silence.

There will be another massacre.

Repeat pattern.

If the faces of slaughtered Sandy Hook innocents couldn’t accomplish anything, the dead Oregon college kids won’t become meaningful martyrs, either. Their classmates, friends and families will

tell their loved ones’ short stories, will plaster the campus with teddy bears and balloons, then, in a few weeks’ time, nobody but close kin will remember or care.

Remember the late Jim Brady, press secretary to President Ronald Reagan, whose death last year was ruled a homicide 33 years after he was shot and left permanently disabled? Brady spent the rest of his altered life advocating for gun control, a rolling testimony to what can happen when there are insufficient gun laws.

He must have died a discouraged man.

Brady was in a historical line of fire. People take pot shots at presidents. But when parents pack their sons or daughters off to communi-

ty college in Oregon or Mississippi or Massachusetts, they fret about too much partying or fast driving or the eternal quest for desirable roommates.

Now parents must add mass shootings, violent death, to the list of practical concerns. Their offspring might need a tutor for English and a bulletproof vest for crossing the campus.

We have become so accustomed to the threat of gun violence in cities and crowded theaters — and recently schools and churches — that nothing fazes us anymore.

Unless, of course, the bullets hit too close to home.

In a selfish land, everything is a numbers game. The number of uninsured, for instance, had to grow

exponentially before a health insurance plan became reality.

I guess the number of folks killed by random gun violence has not reached a sufficient level to force politicians to take action.

The children and spouses of more voters must die before enough pressure will mount.

The sad, sick pattern is established. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson’s most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ... And Warmed Our Cold, Cold Hearts.” Comments are welcomed at rhetagrimsley@aol.com. (c) 2015 Rheta Grimsley Johnson Distributed by King Features Syndicate

NASA scientists in Houston hosted a press conference HOLLYWOOD —God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

NASA scientists in Houston hosted a press conference Friday to announce they have discovered solid evidence of flowing water on Mars. Their confirmed existence of flowing water on the Red Planet was huge news. This officially makes Mars more qualified to support human life than California.

Japanese robot-maker Softbank introduced its life-size robot named Pepper Monday who comes equipped with an implanted emotion machine. The manufacturer warns buyers not to have sex with the robot. There is one documented case of sex with a robot and Tipper Gore still refuses to talk about it.

Brown University rescinded Bill Cosby’s honorary degree Tuesday for admitting in a deposition that he put Quaaludes in women’s drinks to relax them for lovemaking. Mixing drugs is risky. Last week an old hippie in Malibu Canyon took LSD and Cialis and he wound up having sex with a rainbow for two days.

Hillary Clinton announced a hard push for gun control legislation Monday during a speech on the campaign trial. It’s an issue she lives with every day. Hillary should be a Methodist Church saint for the number of times she could have pulled out a gun and shot her husband, but exercised control.

Hillary Clinton performed comedy skits on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. This followed Donald Trump bringing record TV ratings to Fallon and Colbert. A thousand years from now, historians will mark the decline of America to 1992, when Baby Boomers began electing

We fought Germany in World War I and we won, then we fought Germany in World War II and we won. Instead of invading Syria, why don’t we just fight Germany, we know we can win that one.

The Centers for Disease Control blamed the nation’s obesity epidemic on fast food. There’s the upside. While it’s true that McDonald’s and Taco Bell serve food that clog arteries and eventually cause heart attacks and kill millions of Americans, nobody gives them credit for saving Social Security.

The New York Yankees suffered a major blow to their post-season playoff hopes Monday when their star pitcher C.C. Sabathia announced that he’s decided to check himself into alcohol rehab. A quick glance at his birth certificate explains everything.

Turns out the C.C. stands for Canadian Club.

Dr. Ben Carson stood by his anti-Muslim comments last week, then ripped the media for ignoring the war on Christianity. He can be a little too direct. Once Dr. Ben Carson assured a morbidly obese patient he was examining that she wasn’t that fat, and then he told her to open her mouth and say Moo.

Letter to the editor

Thank you seems insufficient From Sharon Walter and family Prescott

Two months ago, my family experienced a life-changing event that turned our world upside down.

The farmstead our family built over 50-plus years was destroyed by a tornado. In the days to come post-tornado, we became witnesses to the greatest asset built within a lifetime — something a natural disaster cannot destroy — friendship and family bonds.

The words “thank you” seem insufficient for the vast support and generosity of those who simply just showed up without asking. The

roadways were lined with cars and pickups belonging to those who came to clean up the devastation or deliver food, drinks and supplies to the volunteers. Others showed up with tractors, dump trucks and skid loaders, helping speed the cleanup effort. Even those who stopped by to offer a prayer or encouragement, we give thanks. A special thanks to the Prescott United Church, Pastor Steve Wainwright and his wife Cynthia, for coordinating the food and supply area for volunteers throughout the week.

Within the same week our family faced another scare with my emergency open heart surgery.

Yet another wave of love and sup-

port came through phone calls, visits and mail. Thank you for the prayers and kind words extended to me during surgery and recovery. Two weeks after my surgery, my son Bob was diagnosed with West Nile. After five days in the hospital, he returned home and has spent several weeks regaining energy. A full recovery from this disease may extend for months, even years. Continue to say prayers for healing.

Thank you and may God bless each of you.

Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.” - John 13:7

We like to hear from you!

BUSINESS/FARM The Bottom Line on homeowners insurance myths STAMFORD, Conn. — How well are you and your most important asset, your home, protected by your homeowner’s insurance policy? With all the legalese written into these policies, few of us truly know what kind of coverage we have. Is your home covered for a flood?

A wildfire? What kind of deductible do you have in the case of a natural disaster like a hurricane or tornado? Are there limits for the types of repairs that will be covered?

Can the insurance company determine the type of materials used to make repairs?

A hurricane, a fire or any major disaster can literally destroy your personal financial future. However, the right insurance coverage can save you. In the Oct. 1

issue, Bottom Line Personal interviewed J. Robert Hunter, director of insurance for the Consumer Federation of America, a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization, in Washington, DC to discover the insurance industry myths that you need to know.

Here are the biggest myths that all homeowners must be aware of according to Hunter: MYTH: If your home is destroyed, your insurance will pay the total cost to rebuild it.

Full replacement cost coverage bit the dust in the wake of Hurricane Andrew back in 1992. Now coverage for most policies is listed as the “coverage amount” which doesn’t cover things like sky

rocketing prices for labor and supplies as a result of ‘demand surge’ after a major event. Net-net: The amount you think will cover rebuilding your house will not if labor and supplies skyrocket.

MYTH: Homeowners must hire a contractor based on the amount the insurer is willing to pay.

Just because your insurer says your home can be repaired for $500 and the contractor you chose says he will charge you $1,000 you have the right to request more money from the insurance carrier. Hunter advises documenting every step of your request and if necessary having the contractor call the insurer on your behalf. He also recommends putting everything in writing and send-

ing it to the claims manager since, according to Hunter, insurance executives often back down when they are dealing with a savvy policyholder.

MYTH: Homeowner’s insurance will pay the bill if someone is injured on your property.

With the increase of home offices, it is important to note that most policies do not cover injuries for people who come to a home office for business purposes. It is necessary to have a commercial liability policy or add a rider for a home business to your policy. If clients, employees or delivery people visit the property for business reasons getting this additional coverage is vital.

“I hate to see people suf-

fer needlessly, and that includes getting caught short after a disaster because the insurance contract was too complicated to understand or someone simply was not aware of the change in policy or the law,” said Sarah Hiner, CEO and President, Bottom Line, INCAt Bottom Line, INC. “We want you to live your best, informed life. Protecting yourself, your family and your home with the proper insurance is essential. By cutting through the legalese and actually seeing what your coverage includes should a disaster occur, you would know exactly what you are entitled to and what you can expect. Helping people be prepared should disasters occur is just one of the ways Bottom Line Inc. helps

people live a better life. The last thing you want to learn the morning after you see you home go up in flames is that you are not properly insured. We encourage you to dig out your homeowner’s policy from your files today, please read it and call your agent or insurance company and review it with them to be sure you fully understand every aspect of your coverage.

Iowa State bacon expo expands philanthropic efforts AMES — The 2015 Iowa State Bacon Expo is to be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 10, in the Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center, south of Iowa State’s campus. The theme is “Bacon Nation” with an emphasis on supporting the Puppy Jake Foundation and Wounded Warrior Project.

Bacon Expo is the only student powered bacon festival in the nation that focuses on education and philanthropy. The excess bacon will be donated to the Food at First

Food Bank in Ames for the third year in a row. After choosing the theme of “Bacon Nation,” student organizers voted to support the Wounded Warrior Project as this year’s main philanthropic effort.

A portion of the profits will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project. Trainers and their dogs from the Puppy Jake Foundation will be present at this year’s event to educate the public about their cause and will be available for questions. They plan to hand

out brochures, speak with attendees and allow the public to interact with the dogs.

The Puppy Jake Foundation is based out of Des Moines and trains service dogs that are provided to military veterans at no charge to the veteran. The dogs are trained for veterans with PTSD and mobility issues.

The dogs start training at eight weeks old, and attend a weekly class for two years until they graduate.

“This is a great organization with a worthy mission

and I am very honored to be a part of,” says Nora Jo Beving. She is a volunteer with the Puppy Jake Foundation and is currently training a lab named Franny.

To attend the Iowa State Bacon Expo, tickets are sold at baconexpo.ag.istate.edu or at the door on Saturday, Oct. 10.

For updates, ticket giveaways and to learn more about Bacon Expo, follow @ ISUBaconExpo on Twitter and Iowa State Bacon Expo on Facebook.

Agriculture deputy secretary announces projects to benefit children worldwide RWANDA - Agriculture Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden announced that seven new school feeding projects could benefit more than 2.5 million children in Africa and Central America.

The projects were awarded as part of the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program.

Through the program, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) works with private voluntary organizations and foreign governments in developing countries around the globe to reduce hunger and improve literacy and primary education.

“By providing school meals, teacher training and related support, Mc-

B&B

Govern-Dole projects help boost school enrollment and academic performance, with a special focus on girls,” said Harden. “At the same time, the program focuses on improving children’s health and learning capacity before they enter school by offering nutrition programs for pregnant and nursing women, infants and preschoolers.”

USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) provides U.S. agricultural commodities, as well as financial and technical assistance, to support McGovern-Dole projects worldwide. In fiscal year 2015, FAS is donating U.S.-produced corn, cornsoy blend, lentils, green and yellow split peas, fortified rice, vegetable oil and pinto beans.

The seven new McGovern-Dole projects being supported by FAS in fiscal year 2015 are in addition to 28 projects ongoing in 21 countries. Since the program was established in 2002, it has

Frozen skewers Dear Heloise: I have a hint for when using WOODEN SKEWERS for grilling. As soon as you buy them, wet all of them and put them in the freezer in a large, plastic bag. When ready to use, there is no waiting. — Elia M. in New Mexico How smart and timesaving! The recommendation is to soak them at least 20 minutes so the wood absorbs as much water as possible. Some say three to four hours, but I don’t think that that long does any better. — Heloise CLEAN GRINDER Dear Heloise: I have an old-fashioned meat grinder that I believe is made of cast iron. It is the type that attaches to the edge of the kitchen countertop. I often use it to grind up ham, chicken or turkey to make salads for sandwiches.

After washing the attachments, I often forget to dry them immediately, like you would a cast-iron skillet, and rust forms. Problem solved by soaking the attachments and main housing in a small bowl of vinegar, then gently scrubbing the rust off with a toothbrush. Looks like new again. Another vinegar mar-

Hints from Heloise vel! — Leo L., Greenville, N.H. My mother used one of those, and I’m going to hunt for it! Don’t forget to rinse and wipe dry, then use a little cooking oil so no rust shows up!

Vinegar never ceases to amaze me, which is why I keep several gallons around our home. My pamphlet Heloise’s Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More is packed with money-saving and safe Heloise hints and recipes. To order one, go to www.Heloise.com, or send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. A splash of apple-cider vinegar on your hands will remove odors when cooking with onions and fish! — Heloise NO-MESS PEPPERS Dear Heloise: I thought stuffed-pepper eaters might like this hint: I looked for a

pan with high sides to bake them in, and there was my fluted cake pan for baking.

I circled the peppers around the pan, and there was room for basting sauce on top of each and in between. I put a few sprigs of fresh herbs in the hole in the center of the pan for individual seasoning just before serving. — Laurie F., Punta Gorda, Fla. SIMPLE SALT Dear Heloise: I keep a small plastic container (like you would use for salad dressing in a lunch) filled with salt in the drawer with my measuring spoons. So much easier when cooking than the salt box or shakers.

— Diann P. in Ohio BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker HANDY HOOK Dear Heloise: We often cook outdoors on the grill, and have accumulated various tools for doing so. I put a short shepherd’s hook (Heloise here: Jean stuck the hook into the ground) right next to the grill to hang all the extra forks, tongs, etc., on. This keeps everything neat and handy. — Jean M., Torrington, Conn. (c)2015 by King Features BLONDIE® by Dean Young Syndicate Inc.

Straight postseason losses for the NY Yankees, tied for the longest streak in franchise history.

National Digest

Astros advance NEW YORK (AP) — Pitching on three days’ rest for the first time in his career, Dallas Keuchel Keuchel baffled New York for six innings of three-hit ball. Colby Rasmus and Carlos Gomez homered, and the Houston Astros won 3-0 Tuesday night in the American League wild-card game.

The orange-clad Astros, who secured their spot in this winner-takeall game on the last day of the regular season, advanced to the AL Division Series. They will face the defending AL champion Royals, starting Thursday night in Kansas City.

Aggressive from the start in their initial playoff appearance as an American League club — and first since being swept by the White Sox in the 2005 World Series — the Astros came out swinging against Masahiro Tanaka in front of a revved-up Yankee Stadium crowd.

Rasmus sent Tanaka’s first pitch of the second inning soaring into deep right field. Gomez, who only had five plate appearances after missing nearly two weeks with a strained chest muscle in mid-September, connected on the first offering of the fourth.

Reliever Tony Sipp walked one, and Will Harris and Luke Gregerson were each perfect for an inning to finish the three-hitter. The boos from the 50,113 stunned fans in the crowd grew with each out as Gregerson closed for a save.

Defense improves IOWA CITY (AP) — On the surface, it appears as though No. 22 Iowa’s resurgence has been fueled by the so-called “New Kirk Ferentz.”

In reality, the Hawkeyes are better because their defense is better — and knocking opponents around has been the foundation of every good team coached by Ferentz.

Iowa (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) surged back into the Top 25 for the first time in five years this week following one of the best defensive performances in Ferentz’s 17-year run in Iowa City.

The Hawkeyes forced four turnovers and held then-No. 19 Wisconsin out of the end zone in a 10-6 win in Madison, cementing Iowa’s status as a legitimate contender in the Big Ten West.

Iowa, ranked 15th nationally with just 15.4 points allowed per game, will look for its sixth straight win Saturday when it hosts border rival Illinois (41, 1-0).

Iowa is the only team in the nation that hasn’t given up a rushing touchdown, and its 2.6 yards per carry allowed is 10th.

Panthers sweep Shenandoah Key home match Thursday for H-10 top division finish

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

SHENANDOAH — Suddenly, this Creston volleyball team is in a position to finish among the top teams in the Hawkeye 10 Conference.

That seemed to be a longshot earlier this season, coming off the 2014 campaign when the Panthers tied Lewis Central for third place in the best Creston season in nearly 30 years.

Now, after all of Tuesday night’s matches, Creston is lodged in a fourth-place tie with St. Albert Catholic and Glenwood at 4-3, with Red Oak lurking right behind at 3-3.

With Lewis Central’s sweep of previous leader Kuemper Catholic Tuesday night, and Harlan’s victories

over St. Albert and Glenwood, the Cyclones have moved in front at 7-1. Kuemper and Lewis Central are each 6-1 in league play.

“It really is a situation in our conference this year that whoever comes to play that night is going to win,” Creston coach Polly Luther said, after her team swept Shenandoah, 25-18, 25-10, 25-17.

Creston, now 12-6 overall, hosts Glenwood (14-8, 4-3) Thursday night.

“That is a big match for us in so many ways,” Luther said.

After Thursday, the final league matches for Creston are Oct. 13 at Harlan and Oct. 20 for senior night against Red Oak. Shenandoah, hit hard by graduation from the 2014 season, was no match for the Panthers Tuesday night in

falling to 6-18 for the season and 0-7 in the conference.

“We weren’t spectacular by any means, but we did what we needed to do,” Luther said. “I told the girls they have to start expecting to win, and then go out and play that way. For the most part that’s what we did.”

Jenna Taylor was thumping the ball hard at the net and was matched by fellow senior Sydney D u n p h y Taylor with 11 kills each. Angie Sorensen added five. Luther said Megan Haley showed improved blocking in the middle and the team had some long service runs by setters Gracie Russell and Jaxie Luther, as

well as defensive specialist Alyssa Higgins. Jami Sickels had a team-high eight digs and eight serve receptions.

“We mixed things up in our attack, and I was really happy to see us get some touches on some blocks,” Luther said. “Haley got quite a few touches. A lot of that is timing and reading the ball, Haley w h i c h comes with experience.”

In other league play Tuesday, Denison-Schleswig swept Atlantic and Red Oak edged Clarinda 3-2, by dominating the fifth set, 15-5. Besides falling to Harlan, Glenwood was swept by St. Albert in the triangular hosted by the Saintes.

Creston statistics Serving (aces) — Jaxie Luther 12-14 (2), Gracie Russell 8-9 (2), Alyssa Higgins 14-14, Alli Thomsen 8-10, Jami Sickels 5-5 (1), Sydney Dunphy 5-5.

Attacks (kills) — Dunphy 11, Taylor 11, Angie Sorensen 5, Cayla Maitlen 4, Breanna Wallace 2, Luther 1.

Creston JV swept Shenandoah Tuesday, 25-23, 25-12.

Makayla Davis and Steph Hemsworth each had three aces. Brielle Baker smacked nine kills. Breanna Wallace led the defense with nine digs.

MENLO — Nodaway Valley’s Destiny Scar and Shane Breheny broke school records for the 5K race distance here Thursday at the Wildcat Classic hosted by West Central Valley at 5x80 Golf and Country Club.

Scar cruised to a 90-second victory in the girls varsity race, running 19:40.05, well ahead of runn e r - u p Scar Brianna Hoffman of Panorama in 20:11.25.

On the boys side, Breheny finished second overall behind Ogden’s Andrew Stumbo. Stumbo completed the 5K course in 15:48.72, while Breheny crossed the finish line in 16:15.37 for a new school record.

The top-ranked Wolverines had all seven varsity runners in the top 14 of the race and had six in the top 10.

The average time of the

top five runners was 16:49, which was also a new school record for the Wolverines.

Nodaway Valley also had the JV boys champion and runner-up in Dallas Kreager and Joel Blazek.

Shenandoah Invitational

SHENANDOAH — Southwest Valley competed in its second meet in just

three days here on Thursday at the Shenandoah Invitational.

Head coach Sandy Winter said she challenged her runners to run 30 seconds faster than they did at the team’s Sept. 29 race at Clarke.

“We ran exceptionally well considering it was our second race in three days,” Winter said. “Most of the

team finished in faster times than the challenge. What a great group of runners!”

Kendra Top led the Timberwolf girls in 39th place with her time of 23:05.43 over the 5K course. Lenox’s Rebekah Kroese finished 36th in 22:52.11.

Warren’s emergence comes at key time for Iowa State AMES (AP) — Mike Warren’s emergence is coming at the right time for Iowa State.

The Cyclones running back has rushed for 301 yards in the last two games, including a 175-yard effort in last Saturday’s victory over Kansas, the most ever by an Iowa State (2-2, 1-0 Big 12) freshman.

He could play a key role in the weeks ahead because the Cyclones’ next three opponents are the Big 12’s top three offensive teams — Texas Tech, TCU and Baylor. Iowa State’s defense may depend on the Cyclone ground game to chew up clock and keep those offenses off the field.

Texas Tech is first up on Saturday in Lubbock, Texas.

The Red Raiders (3-2, 0-2) are averaging 602.8 yards and 50 points per game.

“We don’t want to end up in a shootout,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said Monday.

Enter Warren, whose rise has been meteoric.

He played on the scout team in 2014 and saw little action in the first two games this year, carrying only nine times for 28 yards. Now, after

running for 126 yards in an overtime loss at Toledo and his big game against Kansas, he’s sixth in the league in rushing and averaging 6.9 yards per carry.

“He’s starting to grow up,” Rhoads said. “The cuts he made (against Kansas) and the timing of which he made them and why he was able to make them is because of where his vision was. He didn’t do that before the Toledo game. It’s a process of the light turning on and burning a little bit brighter.”

Even with that happening, Warren seems surprised by his success.

He had expected to begin the season buried deep on the depth chart. But two running backs who had eligibility remaining are no longer on the team, and the run game struggled the first two weeks with Tyler Brown as the feature back, so Warren got his chance.

“I didn’t think this time was going to come for a long time,” he said. “But things happen. Players left. It was just my time to step up. I knew I had to step up.”

Warren rushed for 2,512 yards, including a pair of 300yard games, as a high school

senior in Lawton, Oklahoma. But he didn’t play much on offense as a junior, so he received little recruiting notice.

That worked to the Cyclones’ advantage. They got in with him early, and he stuck to his commitment despite drawing bigger interest in his senior year.

“This was a guy that was sitting third team, behind some good running backs, and just keep plugging away until he finally got his opportunity,” Rhoads said. “When he got his opportunity, he made the best of it. There’s a parallel between what he did coming out of high school and what he’s done in a short time here.”

No Iowa State player has rushed for 100 yards in three consecutive games since Alexander Robinson did in 2010, and no freshman at Iowa State has ever topped 100 yard three times in a season. With Texas Tech giving up 277 rushing yards per game, Warren just might get another opportunity to shine.

“I know I can capitalize off my last game if I just stick to the little things and stick to my fundamentals and technique,” he said.

Hartsock leads Spartans at Waldorf

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

FOREST CITY — The Southwestern men placed fourth among six teams at the Waldorf Invitational golf tournament Sunday at Bear Creek Golf Course.

SWCC shot 329. Host Waldorf won the event with 305 strokes and medalist was Hugo Becerra of the Warriors with even-par 71.

Freshman Sam Hartsock of Creston was the Spartan leader with an 8-over par Hartsock 79, tied for sixth individually.

“We really thought we could come up and compete

for a top-two finish,” said SWCC coach Doug North.

“I’d say we underachieved today. They all have put together solid rounds during practice, and really want to translate that to a tournament.”

North said Bear Creek is a challenging course, with the front nine more traditional with narrow fairways and trees. The back nine is more of a link-style course.

The men were back in action Monday and Tuesday in the Grand View Viking Classic at the Tournament Club of Iowa.

“Tough course and even tougher competition,” North said.

The Waldorf tourney was the last competition of the fall for the women. Brooke Decker, also a member of SWCC’s volleyball team, and Evy Wells each shot

Area volleyball Mount Ayr 3, East Union 1 MOUNT AYR — Mount Ayr locked up a 5-0 record in the Pride of Iowa West Division for a conference championship Tuesday by defeating East Union 26-24, 22-25, 29-27, 25-14 on senior night.

Seniors honored were Ashton Quick, Laura Davison and Kirsten Dolecheck.

“It was nice to become conference championship, but we had trouble getting momentum,” said Mount Ayr coach Tori Braby. “We struggled starting off tonight on our passing. Give East Union credit, they definitely came to win tonight and were very scrappy and outworked us on defense. We finally came around in that fourth game and put them away.”

Kelcie Shields had a huge night at the net for Mount Ayr (19-7) with 27 kills. Tessa Shields and Sadie Frost had eight and seven, re-

spectively.

Alyssa Johnson finished with 23 setting assists and served 1618 with two aces.

F r o s t served a team-high five aces while going 14- Johnson 15. Macy Larsen served 19-19 and had 15 assists. Blair Glendenning accumulated 37 digs.

Three East Union players served 100 percent, led

by Katlin Weinkoetz at 1919 with five aces. Reagan Brown was 2425 with four aces for the Eagles (18-7).

Creston 9th-JV football Junior varsity

Adel-DeSoto-Minburn edged Creston/O-M 14-7 in a competitive JV game Monday night at Panther Field.

ADM scored on its first drive to take an early 7-0 lead.

The Panthers tied the game with 40 seconds left in the half on a 30-yard touchdown pass from Bryce Fitzgerald to Cody Wagner. The PAT was good by Landon Guhse.

ADM then scored on its second possession of the second half, driving the ball 80 yards for the final scoring play of the game.

With JV quarterbacks Seth Thompson (shoulder) and Brody Frain (elbow) sidelined, the freshman Fitzgerald stepped in and finished 9-of-18 passing for 125 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions. Wagner finished with three catches for 87 yards.

The Panther rushing attack did not accumulate high yardage totals. Kolten Phelps ended up the leader with 27 yards on eight carries. Michael Stults led the defense with 12 tackles and Joe Eblen had a fumble recovery.

Special teams had some big moments in the game for the Panthers as Travontay Wright had a 70-yard kickoff return and Tyler Peters returned another 60 yards.

“Tonight our kids competed extremely well,” Creston/O-M coach Kevin Cooper said. “It was a very close game the whole night. We had some great chances to take the lead and were just unable to do so. We really like how our kids are playing hard for four quarters.”

The Panther JV travels to Harlan next Monday.

ADEL — Creston/O-M outgained ADM 205-186 in total yardage, but was hampered by four lost fumbles and an interception in falling to the Tigers Friday night, 28-7.

Bryce Fitzgerald carried for 94 yards and Kolten

Phelps had 73 yards and a touchdown for the Panthers.

Fitzgerald completed six passes for 60 yards. Tristan Travis and Kendall Crawford each had eight total tackles.

“We outplayed the Tigers in every aspect except one — turnovers,” said Creston/O-M coach Jon Thomson. “We can’t expect great things to happen when we put the ball on the ground six times and lose it four times on the wrong side of the field. We had great drives that would end in fumbles. The was the first game where we had some great push up front from our linemen. We were dominate in the middle between tackles on both sides of the ball.

We just gave them the short end of the field.”

Middle school football 7th grade

The Creston/O-M seventh-grade team finally got its second game of the season Thursday in a 42-0 win over Winterset. (The Red Oak game was forfeited and the rained-out Atlantic game was postponed to Oct. 22).

“Our linemen did a great job of opening up holes and blocking downfield,” said assistant coach Jerry Hartman.

Cael Kralik rushed for 94 yards and four touchdowns for the Panthers, and completed a 34-yard pass to Colby Burg. Kralik also averaged 38 yards on his kickoffs, and went 4-of-5 on PAT kicks.

Defensively the Panthers were led by Kolby Hulett with nine tackles and two forced fumbles. Garon Wurster and Hulett each recovered two fumbles.

The interior of the Creston/O-M defense dominated

the line of scrimmage as Logan Osterhout had five tackles including a 3-yard sack.

Seven Mills had a 4-yard sack.

Keegan Smith blocked two Winterset punts, increasing his season total to five. The second block was recovered in the end zone for a touchdown by Mills.

“The guys in the line are really doing their jobs and continuing to learn and work hard,” Hartman said.

Creston/O-M also won the B game, 12-6, overcoming an early 6-0 Huskie lead.

Quarterback Cole Strider evened the score on a 21yard scramble. Late in the fourth quarter Strider went 15 yards for the go-ahead touchdown.

Defensive linemen Wiley Ray and Korbyn Ringer disrupted the final Winterset possession as time ran out.

Kaden Bolton had 43 yards on eight carries for the Panthers. Strider fin-

ished with 36 yards. Ringer had four solo tackles and an assist, with two stops for losses.

The Panthers travel with the eighth grade to Clarinda on Thursday.

but I’m impressed with how we finished!” said Creston coach Jessie McClellan.

“We’ve been talking a lot about playing our game the entire time. It’s still something we need to work on but we did better in the second game. I told the girls I was looking for a leader, someone who is always talking and doing what I ask without being reminded, and Bre Wallace is stepping up in that role.”

Fitzgerald wants to remind Iowans to take advantage of College Savings Iowa InFocus.

Adair Master Chefs group is organized Adams County celebrates National 4-H Week A new special interest group for youth who are excited about cooking, food and nutrition, and having fun all at the same time, held its first meeting with 11 members present.

Adair County volunteers Terri Raasch and Becky

Raasch will be leading the group with the goals of learning kitchen safety, preparing food and following recipes.

Adair Master Chefs was the name chosen by the group. Members gave suggestions of topics and activi-

ties they would like to cover during the meetings, including microwave cooking, baking and casseroles. Kitchen safety worksheets were distributed for members to complete before their next meeting. The group plans to meet monthly.

Help connect children with nature, science and art AMES — Connecting young children with nature will inspire and support budding scientists, techies, engineers, artists and mathematicians, says Kim Brantner, a human sciences specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

“Children in early childhood learn primarily through their senses and from direct hands-on experience,” said Brantner, who specializes in family life issues. “Children develop an understanding about the world through play, exploration and creative activities, and by watching and imitating adults and other children.”

Young children have a lot of energy and are naturally curious about the world around them, Brantner said.

Parents, child care providers and educators can encourage children’s creativity by

Ron’s Pest Solutions

offering hands-on activities like dramatic play, painting, drawing, sculpting, music and dance.

“Early learning and experience is critical to child development,” Brantner said.

“Some call it a ‘window of opportunity’ that doesn’t usually reappear in later life.

The early years are a time to develop positive impressions about nature and build the foundation for lifelong social and academic skills.”

Research shows that people who have become committed to the environment and its beauty spent time outdoors in wild or semiwild places when they were children, with adults who taught them respect for nature, Brantner said.

Brantner suggests trying these ideas when taking a young child outside: • Watch a caterpillar or lighting bug or listen to chirping crickets

• Point at a bird in the yard • Talk about the fall leaves • Touch pine tree needles • Paint a picture of a flower • Gaze at the clouds while lying in the grass “Children stay engaged in nature activities for long periods of time outside. Watch the child’s sense of wonder, joy and mystery. Talk together about what you’re seeing, and rediscover your own sense of wonder as well,” Brantner said.

Oct. 4-10 is National 4-H Week, and Adams County is celebrating the 4-H youth who have made and are making an impact on the community. Adams County 4-H’ers are stepping up to the challenges of a complex and changing world.

During National 4-H week, Adams County 4-H clubs and members will be visiting with elementary students in Corning about what 4-H is about. Students will get information about joining one of the three Adams County 4-H clubs to bring home to their parents. 4-H clubs usually meet at least once per month, elect officers and throughout the year participate in many community service projects and activities as well as have individual projects.

Also during National 4-H Week, Adams County Extension will host the Adams Community Chamber of Commerce coffee at the Extension

office in Corning. The office is located at 603 Seventh St. in downtown Corning. Chris Nelson, Adams County Extension program coordinator, said the coffee will be from 10 to 11 a.m. Friday and all interested adults and youth are invited to attend and celebrate 4-H with special 4-H cookies and coffee or ice tea.

Recent findings from Tufts University’s 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that young people in 4-H are three times more likely to contribute to their communities than youth not participating in 4-H. Notably, the Tufts research discovered that the structured learning, encouragement and adult mentoring that 4-H’ers receive play a vital role in helping them actively contribute to society and their communities.

There were more than 20,000 4-H club members and more than 10,000 4-H volunteers in the Iowa

4-H program in 2014-15.

In Adams County, more than 85 4-H members and 50 volunteers are involved in the 4H club program.

4-H’ers do hands-on projects in program areas ranging from citizenship to communication, food and nutrition, leadership, livestock, pets and science and technology.

4-H’ers are a living, breathing, culture-changing revolution for doing the right thing, breaking through obstacles and pushing our country forward by making a measurable difference right where they live. Learn how you can join 4-H by contacting Bonnie Chafa, county youth coordinator at Iowa State University Cooperative Extension in Adams County at 641322-3184 or xadams@ iastate.edu.
