East Union soil judging is headed to nationals in May. ■

By CARTER ECKL CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

Four students from East Union High School will be heading to Oklahoma in May after qualifying for Nationals in soil evaluation at the state competition in Des Moines.

Brody Granfield, Brayden Martinez, Kanyon Huntington and Sidney McFee were the group of four students led by agronomy teacher Mike Cooley.

The competition is an indepth evaluation of each student’s knowledge of soil evaluation, including surface and soil features.

Students are judged in five different areas of soil evaluation: four soils pits and a written exam.

Each soil pit judged by students is divided into five sections: the profile,

land capability classification, productivity potential, evaluation of management practices and sustainability of soils for non-agricultural uses.

“They have to determine the horizon, E-horizon is going to be on land that was originally forest,” said Cooley. “Then they have to tell what the soil depth is. ...

They have to be able to tell the drainage, erosion class, top soil lost over thousands of years, acid test for calcareous.”

Once students are done with testing, they have to classify each soil pit.

“Class 1 is the best, that’s what we can farm,” said Cooley. “Class 8 is the worst, best to seed it down, best for trees to just hold soil down.”

Competitors are also forced to decide on conservation practices if they determine the soil is farming-worthy.

Students also have to look at if a non-agricultural use can be taken with the area.

“Is it suitable for base-

ments? Can you build a house on this land?” said Cooley. “Then they look to see if it is suitable for a septic tank, for drainage. And the last thing they do – is it a suitable place to gather top soil, is there a water table?”

Cooley admits he thinks the competition is one of the toughest out there.

East Union took home first place honors on both the written evaluation and the soil pit judging. This was the first time in school history that a team has qualified for nationals.

Huntington and Martinez tied for the top score on the

“UNTIL some other group wins state and places higher at nationals, they can take claim to being the best group I’ve ever had.”

written test. As individuals Huntington finished second overall, Martinez finished 12th, McFee finished 13th and Granfield finished 17th out of 114 competitors.

“Bless their hearts, instead of just qualifying, we won the whole thing,” said Cooley.

Each team at the competition is only allowed to have four students compete, but has the option of changing out up to two members if necessary.

The top 30 teams were at the state competition, five from each of the six districts.

Teams must first qualify at the district level before advancing to the state competition.

The National Land Judging Event in Oklahoma will run from May 1 through May 4.

“They did a tremendous job,” said Cooley. “What I told them was until some other group wins state and places higher at nationals, they can take claim to being the best group I’ve ever had.”

NASHUA (AP) — A northeast Iowa sheriff says an 8-year-old boy is in stable condition as he recovers from a gunshot wound suffered while visiting an apple orchard with his parents.

Chickasaw County Sheriff Martin Hemann says the bullet was fired at a Nashua Fish and Game Club range, which sits about threeeighths of a mile from the Apples on the Avenue orchard. The pick-your-own-

apples operation lies about 1 1/2 miles south of Nashua.

Hemann told the Charles City Press on Tuesday that Sunday’s incident is not being investigated “as a criminal act.” He called the boy’s wounding a “freak accident” with a stray round.

Investigators have identified the person who fired the shot. That person’s name and those of the boy and his parents have not been released.

Roger McCay, 74, of Diagonal died Sunday, Oct. 8, 2017, at his home.

Celebration of life services will be 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14, at Powers Funeral Home, junction of highways 34 and 25, in Creston.

The Rev. C h u c k McCay Spindler will officiate. Burial will be in Graceland Cemetery, south of Creston. Visitation with family present will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, memorials are to be established. Online condolences can be left at www. powersfh.com.

Roger Earl McCay, son of Bonita May (Flint) McCay and Elmer Earl McCay, was born Oct. 24, 1942, in Bethany, Missouri. He graduated from Creston High School in 1961 and then studied at Iowa State University, obtaining a Bachelor degree in forestry. Roger then furthered his education at Ohio State University where he received his master’s degree in agricultural economics and rural sociology.

On Oct. 9, 1963, Rog-

er married Susan Hoyt in Ames. Roger completed his forestry training while in Utah and then worked a variety of places in the forest services and economics departments including Columbus, Ohio; Dalton, Pennsylvania; Waukesha, Wisconsin; Fairfax, Virginia; and Mukwonago, Wisconsin.

He then retired and moved to Diagonal. Roger and Susan divorced. In retirement, Roger built his retirement home and raised and trained yellow labs through his business Mac’s Friendly Labs.

Roger was a former member, judge and officer of North American Hunting and Retrieving Association.

He also was a baseball umpire for both high school and semi-pro games.

Roger is survived by his son Kevin (Maggie) McCay of Carlisle; daughter Kelly (Scott) Purdy of Mukwonago, Wisconsin; former wife Susan McCay of Mukwonago, Wisconsin; son-in-law Marty Sharer of Franklin, Kentucky; grandchildren, Max McCay, Nic McCay, Brandon Purdy and Bryor Purdy; brothers, David (Sue) McCay of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and Keith (Brenda) McCay of Waukee and numerous other relatives.

Roger was preceded in death by his parents and daughter Kerry Sharer.

California wildfires reduce dreams to embers as flames grow SANTA ROSA, Calif.

(AP) — Jose Garnica worked for more than two decades to build up his dream home that was reduced to ashes in a matter of minutes by the deadly firestorm striking California’s wine country.

Garnica, who moved to the U.S. from Mexico over 20 years ago, had finally decided he could afford to upgrade parts of his Santa Rosa house after building a stable career with the local garbage company and saving nearly everything he and his wife earned.

Over the past two years, he replaced the siding and installed a new air conditioner, stainless steel appliances and new flooring. Less than a week ago, the 44-year-old got an estimate to replace the fence, one of the last items on his list.

But at 3:30 a.m. Monday, he watched his house become one of the more than 2,000 homes and businesses destroyed by the series of blazes across the region that had killed at least 17 people. “You feel helpless,� he said Tuesday. “There’s nothing you can do. Everything, your whole life, goes through your mind in a minute. Everything you had done. I left all my family behind in Mexico to get a better life. Finally we were just coming to the comfort level, and this happens.�

Destructive flames have raced across the wine country of Napa and Sonoma counties and the coastal beauty of Mendocino further north, leaving little more than smoldering ashes and eye-stinging smoke in their wake. Whole neighborhoods are gone, with only brick chimneys and charred laundry machines to mark sites that were once family homes.

On Wednesday, authorities ordered more evacuations for several areas of Sonoma Valley after a blaze there grew to 44 square miles (113 square kilometers). Of-

ficials also cautioned that after a day of cooler weather and calmer winds, dangerous gusty winds will return to the region Wednesday afternoon, complicating efforts by firefighters to contain the flames. “This is just pure devastation, and it’s going to take us a while to get out and comb through all of this,� said Ken Pimlott, chief of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. He said the state had “several days of fire weather conditions to come.�

In some torched neighborhoods, fire hydrants still had hoses attached, apparently abandoned by firefighters who had to flee.

The wildfires already rank among the deadliest in California history, and officials expected the death toll to increase as the scope of destruction becomes clear. At least 185 people were injured during the blazes that cropped up Sunday night.

Nearly 200 people were reported missing in Sonoma County alone.

David Leal, 55, and his wife and stepson salvaged a few decorative items from their Santa Rosa home, including a wind chime, tiles from the backsplash in the kitchen, a decorative sun and a cross. “Our plan is to keep those things, and when we rebuild, they’ll be mementos of what we’ve lived through, and of, just, resilience,� Leal said. “It’s hard not to get emotional.

In the meantime, Leal got a post office box so the family can get mail, a new laptop and some clothes. They’re living out of their two vehicles for now. “We’ll be back home again sooner than later, and with our chins held high,� he said, choking back tears. “And hopefully we’ll be amongst our neighbors and friends as they do the same.�

Trump to pitch tax plan as boon for truckers WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will pitch his tax plan as a boon for truckers in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Wednesday — the latest stop on a cross-country tour aimed at selling his tax reform proposal.

Trump will be speaking in front of an audience of roughly 1,000 people, including lots of truckers, Trump against a backdrop of big rigs at a local air plane hangar, according to the White House. Trump is pitching a plan that would dramatically cut corporate tax rates from 35 percent

to 20 percent, reduce the number of personal income tax brackets and boost the standard deduction.

At his latest stop, Trump will argue that his tax reform framework will benefit truckers by lowering their tax rates, boosting manufacturing, and making it easier for families to pass their trucking businesses onto their children, the White House says. “When your trucks are moving, America is growing. That is why my administration is taking historic steps to remove the barriers that slow you down,� he’s expected to say, according to excerpts provided by the White House. “America first means putting American truckers first.�

Trump has left it up to Congress to fill in many

specifics of his plan, which leaves out details such as which income levels his new tax brackets would apply to.

Trump’s proposal includes cutting the top income tax rate, getting rid of the alternative minimum tax, and eliminating the federal estate tax. He also wants to encourage multinational companies to bring back, or repatriate, cash that they’ve kept overseas. All told, there’s more than $1 trillion in cash held abroad by S&P 500 companies, according to Deutsche Bank. “We will eliminate the penalty on returning future earnings back to the United States and we will impose a one-time low tax on money currently parked overseas so it can be brought back home to America, where

it belongs,� Trump is expected to say Wednesday, adding that his “Council of Economic Advisers estimates that this change alone would likely give the typical American household a $4,000 pay raise.�

The $4,000 in additional income estimate comes from a back of the envelope calculation by White House economics adviser Kevin Hassett based on companies returning 71 percent of their foreign profits over the course of eight years.

This estimate appears to assume that the returned profits would flow to workers in the form of higher wages. But many economists say much of it would likely be returned to investors in the form of stock dividends and buybacks.

Hotel questions revised timeline of Las Vegas massacre LAS VEGAS – A day after authorities revised the timeline of events on the night of the Las Vegas mass shooting, the hotel where the gunman was staying is casting doubt on the changes.

Police said earlier this week that they believe Stephen Paddock shot a hotel security guard through the door of his high-rise hotel suite six minutes before he unleashed a barrage of bullets into a crowd at a musical performance below. The injured guard ran down a hall using his radio and possibly a hallway phone to call for help, reporting he had been shot in the leg.

That account differs dramatically from the one police gave last week: that Paddock ended his hail of fire on the crowd, where 58 people were killed and hundreds injured, in order to shoot through his door and wound the unarmed guard, Jesus Campos.

But late Tuesday, the company that owns the Mandalay Bay hotel casino questioned the new timeline. “We cannot be certain about the most recent timeline,� said Debra DeShong, a spokeswoman for MGM Resorts International. “We believe what is currently being expressed may not be

accurate.�

Las Vegas police did not respond Tuesday night to questions about the hotel’s statement or whether investigators stand behind the revised timeline released earlier in the week.

The revised timeline raises questions about whether better communication could have allowed officers to respond more quickly and take out the gunman before the attack. It remains unclear if police ever received a call for help from the injured guard.

“THIS changes everything. There absolutely was an opportunity in that timeframe that some of this could have been mitigated.�

frame that some of this could’ve been mitigated.�

Nicole Rapp, whose mother was knocked to the ground at the Route 91 Harvest Festival and trampled by panicked concertgoers as bullets rained from above, said she’s “having a hard time wrapping my head around� why police changed the timeline of the shooting. “It’s very confusing to me that they are just discovering this a week later,� she said. “How did we not know this before? It’s traumatic for the victims and their families not to be sure of what happened.�

Undersheriff Kevin McMahill said on Tuesday that the guard had been responding to a door alarm on the hotel’s 32nd floor when he heard an odd drilling sound.

Paddock had power tools and was trying to drill a hole

in a wall, perhaps to mount another of the security cameras he set up around him, or to point a rifle through, but he never completed the work, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said. He also drilled holes and bolted a metal bar to try to prevent the opening of an emergency exit door near his room.

As the guard notified maintenance and security of the stairwell issue, several single shots were fired into the hallway before he shot again, unloading more than 200 rounds at the guard and a maintenance man, McMahill said. Campos, the security guard, was struck in the leg and injured, police said.

Campos reported to hotel security dispatchers that he was shot before Paddock opened fire on the crowd, Assistant Sheriff Tom Roberts told The Los Angeles VEGAS | 16A

Support cancer patients by giving blood with the Red Cross During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood to support cancer patients and others.

Mary Alice Donofrio gave blood for the first time in memory of her mother who received several blood transfusions while being treated for breast cancer.

“I had no idea what to expect, but the experience was very easy and quite rewarding,” Donofrio said.

“Ever since then, I try and give blood as often as I can, and every time it gives me a good feeling in my heart. It is so nice to know that taking just an hour or so out of my day can help save the lives of others.”

According to the American Cancer Society, near-

ly 1.7 million new cases of cancer are expected in the U.S. this year. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, with nearly 253,000 women expected to be diagnosed in 2017. Cancer patients may need blood products during chemotherapy, surgery or treatment for complications.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, October 11, 2017

Tillerson should go If Secretary of State Rex Tillerson resigned, how would anyone know?

He has become the nation’s least influential top diplomat in recent memory. His relationship with the president of the United States is strained at best, he has no philosophy or signature initiative, he has barely staffed his own department, and he’s alienated the foreign service. The former CEO of ExxonMobil has taken one of the power positions in the U.S. government and made it an afterthought.

Who knows the truth of the NBC story that he was close to quitting last summer over clashes with President Donald Trump?

But Tillerson’s strange press availability swearing his loyalty to the president is not the sort of thing loyalists usually have to do.

The secretary of state dodged questions about whether he had, indeed, as NBC reported, called Trump a “moron” – almost cer-

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

tainly the first time in U.S. history a Cabinet official has been asked about personally insulting the president he works for and apparently been unable, in good conscience, to deny it.

Tillerson doesn’t have an easy job. He works for a mercurial and bombastic boss who has a well-developed skill for humiliating his underlings. Even a practiced and slick diplomat – even Henry Kissinger; heck, even Cardinal Richelieu – would find the circumstances trying. But Tillerson is at sea.

He’s an accomplished man who ascended to the leadership of a quasi-state as CEO of ExxonMobil. As such, he had done plenty of

work abroad. It was in business, though, not government. Making him secretary of state turns out to have been like selecting the head of the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs to run a Fortune 500 company.

Usually establishmentarians have the advantage, if nothing else, of a great store of government experience. Brent Scowcroft devoted most of his adult life to public service; Tillerson devoted most of his adult life to ExxonMobil.

Unlike, say, James Mattis advising Trump on defense matters, this is not a professional guiding an amateur; it’s another amateur trying to school an amateur. Is it any wonder that it hasn’t gone well?

Recent Republican secretaries of state provide two models.

There’s the Colin Powell approach of attending to the needs of “the building,” i.e., the civil service, and neglecting your rela-

tionship with the president. Then there’s the Condi Rice approach of tending to your relationship with the president and ignoring the building. Tillerson has done neither.

In a nationalist administration, he is a man without a country. He doesn’t have a constituency in the foreign-policy establishment, in the media, in Congress or in the bureaucracy. He and his top aides are a thin layer spread atop the org chart to little effect.

Neither of the opposing dispensations in American foreign policy should feel vested in Tillerson.

If you’re a liberal internationalist who wants Trump checked, you’d prefer someone better suited to the task. If you’re a Trumpist who wants Trump empowered to transform American foreign policy, you want someone who is in sympathy with that goal.

Tillerson has been on the other side of Trump on big issues like the Paris climate accord and

the Iran nuclear deal. There’s no doubt that Trump’s instincts need to be restrained and channeled.

That’s different from trying to frustrate them, which is bound to run afoul of Dean Acheson’s maxim: “The most important aspect of the relationship between the president and the secretary of state is that they both understand who is president.”

Tillerson’s diplomatic skills haven’t yet been tested on anything important. At this point, he probably fails a threshold test: Can he reliably be thought to speak for the United States government?

The former ExxonMobil chief might imagine himself indispensable as a “minder” of the president. Yet Trump is now surrounded by generals who no one doubts are responsible and influential.

If Tillerson left, the government would operate as before – except with a chance there’d be a secretary of state better suited to the role.

The economic boom and Christmas HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The National Retail Federation forecast the economic boom will translate into huge sales this Christmas season as goods are being rushed to department store counters. Even the Vatican is rumored to be releasing a women’s perfume fragrance made with holy water. It’s called Eau My God. Columbus Day parades on Monday were interrupted by protestors who denounced the arrival of the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria to the New World.

It’s exhausting. Can’t we all come together as a nation and enjoy the ONE day when Republicans are glad Hispanics came to America?

Walt Disney Studios released the long-awaited trailer for its upcoming movie “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” which opens in movie theaters worldwide in mid-December. The movie carries the same message to the audience as all the “Star Wars” movies. And that message is this, sex isn’t for everybody.

The Nobel Peace Prize was given Friday to a group dedicated to eliminating nuclear weapons from every country on earth. They were the second choice. The Nobel Peace Prize was first offered to Melania Trump a month ago, but she refused to hide her husband’s phone and change the password.

nessee. It’s only a matter of time before statue protestors arrive and claim that Peyton Manning’s offensive linemen were de facto slaves.

University of Virginia students petitioned to remove a statue of Thomas Jefferson on campus as well as Rebel statues in Richmond. These kids are being brainwashed in class by hypocrites. I wonder how many people who want to obliterate all traces of the Confederacy drive Volkswagens?

Jerry Jones announced Sunday any Dallas Cowboys player who doesn’t stand for the national anthem will be benched. It’s spreading. While in line at the grocery store this morning, I dropped to one knee to tie my shoelace and everyone else in line dropped to one knee and locked arms with me.

Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was fired by his Weinstein Company after the New York Times outed him as a serial sexual harasser of women.

This town can politicize anything.

Meryl Streep described Harvey Weinstein’s behavior as disgraceful, inexcusable and very presidential.

President Trump got in a nasty Twitter battle with GOP Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker Monday.

It won’t end well. Corker called the White House an adult day care center, prompting President Trump to throw his sippy cup against the French door in the Oval Office.

President Trump hosted Hispanic guests at a White House party to observe Hispanic Heritage Month Friday. When the party started, there was concern that the Secret Service log showed no visitors entering the gate. Then everybody pointed at the White House fence and enjoyed a good laugh.

The Drudge Report posted a poll showing that Oprah Winfrey would be a strong candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. She’d be fun. If Oprah were president, the U.S. would lose money, then gain money, then lose money, then gain back the money and finally blame it all on bread.

FOOD

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, October 11, 2017

A celebrity chef’s secrets to building a better sandwich (BPT) – A great sandwich is a delicious meal choice, which could be why about 60 percent of American adults eat at least one for lunch every week and 70 percent pack one or more in their children’s lunches, according to food industry trend-watching company Datassential. In fact, sandwiches are so popular and so common that at some point in the past you’ve probably made or eaten a lackluster sandwich.

However, every sandwich has the potential to be great - or at least better - says celebrity chef and sandwich expert Tom Colicchio.

Sandwich starters Americans eat more cold-cut sandwiches than any other kind, while burgers, poultry, hot dogs, other meats and peanut butter and jelly round out the six most commonly eaten types of sandwiches, according to the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service. Whatever you decide to put in your sandwich, always start with the freshest ingredients available, Colicchio advises. “There’s no substitute for a perfectly ripe piece of produce.”

“Create and customize sandwiches to fit your and your family’s palettes, not what the latest trends tell you to eat,” he says. “At the same time, don’t be afraid to experiment. One of the best things about sandwiches is the endless potential to create something new and delicious.

If an experiment doesn’t work out, you can always try again tomorrow!”

In fact, more than onethird of consumers say they love sandwiches because of the ability to customize their meal by choosing from a variety of proteins, vegetables, cheeses and condiments, Datassential reports.

Building better sandwiches “The architecture of a sandwich is as important as what you put in it,” Colicchio says. “I think there’s an actual science behind building the better sandwich.” Colicchio, the James Beard Award-winning founder of Craft Hospitality and ‘wichcraft, offers some tips to help ensure every sandwich you make is the best it can be: * The bread is the foundation of every sandwich, and it should be as sturdy as it is delicious. You can find a variety of quality options from Arnold, Brownberry or Oroweat in the bread aisle of your local grocery store. * When dealing with

messier ingredients like roasted vegetables or condiments such as dressing, try lightly toasting or searing one side of each slice of bread in a pan atop the stove, until the side is crisp.

Stack with the toasted sides facing in to help build a strong foundation for your sandwich. * Build from the bottom up. Place the driest and heaviest ingredients on the bottom slice of bread first before adding toppings like lettuce and tomato. Spread condiments on the second slice of bread as the last step before topping the sandwich. * For cold sandwiches, place the cheese next to the bread to help reinforce the stability of the sandwich.

For hot sandwiches, place the cheese next to the meat so the flavors can interplay properly. * To avoid sogginess and ensure consistent seasoning throughout, dress greens before placing them on the sandwich. * Don’t go crazy with condiments. “The more you mix them, the more muddled the flavor becomes,” Colicchio says.

“Pick one that will really accentuate the flavors you’re highlighting.” * Finally, don’t overload your sandwich to ensure your ingredients won’t fall out or leave a mess behind when you take a bite.

Bite into better Looking for sandwich inspiration? The America’s Better Sandwich Contest, hosted by Arnold, Brownberry and Oroweat Breads, gives entrants the chance to hone their skills by creating delicious and nutritious sandwiches that feature the breads as the base. Visit www.americasbettersandwich.com for recipe inspiration, contest rules and to find out how to enter.

First National Bank named 2017 Top Lender of the Year for water quality efforts The Iowa Finance Authority, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources recently recognized First National Bank in Creston as the 2017 top lender of the year for their commitment to conservation practices.

The State Revolving Fund provides low-interest loans to Iowans to assist in projects to reduce runoff in Iowa’s waterways.

The State Revolving Fund is jointly administered by the Iowa Finance Authority and Iowa Department of Natural Resources in partnership with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.

First National Bank has assisted 44 landowners with the financing of water quality improvements through the State Revolving Fund.

The program uses linked deposit accounts to reduce the interest rate charged to the borrower; the interest rate cannot exceed three

percent. Terms can be up to 15 years and loan limits up to $500,000.

“I congratulate First National Bank on this well-deserved recognition,” said Iowa Finance Authority Executive Director Dave Jamison. “Last year alone, the State Revolving Fund assisted hundreds of landowners through the State Revolving Fund’s linked deposit programs thanks to our outstanding lending partners and we look forward to assisting even more in the year to come.”

“The State Revolving Fund’s success is a testament to the partnerships with the hundreds of dedicated lenders and landowners throughout the state,” said Mike Naig, deputy secretary of agriculture. “I commend First National Bank for their outstanding work in their efforts to protect Iowa’s natural resources.”

“I want to thank First National Bank for their efforts to connect landowners with

affordable financing for conservation projects,” said Iowa Department of Natural Resources Director Chuck Gipp. “Lenders like them are doing their part to improve water quality which will help keep Iowa waterways clean for generations to come. I encourage any landowner with upcoming conservation projects to visit IowaSRF.com to learn more about program available to them.”

The State Revolving Fund features a variety of programs that offer low-interest loans to assist farmers, livestock producers, watershed organizations and others and are offered through participating lenders across the state. These programs have assisted more than 5,000 water quality projects in partnership with more than 500 participating lenders throughout the state since their inception. More information about the State Revolving Fund is available at IowaSRF.com.

Get your start with Start ‘up’ UC Union County Development Association has launched a new contest for those that want to start their own business.

“At Union County Development, we support all types of locally grown businesses.

We thought this contest might be just the push that someone needs to take the next step in their business plans,” UCDA Director Wayne Pantini said.

“This is a great opportunity for anyone wanting to start a business in Union County.

Understanding your resources is an integral and often overlooked component to a start-up and this contest gives you access to these resources regardless of if you win or not.”

How the contest works: • Submit your business idea on the form on the website unioncountyiowa.com • On Oct. 25, the top seven finalists will be announced and move on • Coaching sessions with Brandi Shay, the SBDC resource in Union County.

• Nov. 14 is the Business Pitch Competition. You will give a short presentation to a panel of judges and the winner will be announced and presented prize money.

Throughout this process,

you will be coached and guided, making sure you are ready to take the next steps to make your dream a reality.

About the bracelets: Mindy Stalker, marketing coordinator at UCDA, reached out to Blake and Baily Fry-Schnormeier about the concept of creating these unisex bracelets that could be worn to celebrate the local business. They brought in Gary Coenen at the Trophy Shop, who helped evolve the idea with our “up” symbol engraved in the center.

“We want these bracelets to be worn with the same amount of pride that a local business owner has every day they open their doors to serve you - these bracelets are a symbol of a community continuing to rise up and show support for the local business owner,” Stalker said.

“These are the businesses that support local fundraisers and shop for their families in other local stores...this is what communities are built on. Showing your support for local businesses goes far beyond these bracelets, but it’s a pretty great way to show you care.”

Where can you find the bracelets: When you make a $5 donation to the Start “Up” UC Project, you will receive a locally made bracelet. Just visit one of your local lenders, Create Creston, Quilts and Other Notions, Reflections, Adams St. Espresso and Maple Street Memories in Creston and Kansas St. Deli and Purple Cow Antiques in Afton.

THAYER — Ben Waigand of Thayer has worked with hogs from an early age. And though he wasn’t entirely sure what he wanted to do in life, he knew farming was always going to be a first choice. “When I was in high school and junior high, I showed pigs through 4-H,� said Waigand. “And after I graduated from Southwestern Community College (SWCC), I really didn’t know what I wanted to do. I just knew that I wanted to try to farm, and this opportunity presented itself. “I felt like that was kind of my way to be able to join the family operation,� said Waigand.

Waigand’s father and uncle farmed together before him. “And, basically, every family member other than my sis-

ter was also involved in farming,� said Waigand. “It just kind of came by naturally.�

Waigand was born in Creston, and, as he puts it, has “lived on a farm from day one.� He now runs, with the help of Josh Craig of Afton, a hog barn outside of Thayer.

Waigand raises hogs for JBS, a company that broke into the American pork industry about two years ago with the completed acquisition of Cargill Pork. Waigand gets his pigs in at around 12 pounds. “And it’s labor-intensive for the first three weeks,� said Waigand. “Giving them shots, making sure everything’s staying healthy. But once they hit 50 pounds, things get more relaxed.

More than anything, it’s just making feeder adjustments and checking for sick pigs. “From day one, when they come in, they’re usually anywhere from 17 to 22 days old.

And we’ll start marketing after they’ve been here for about five months.�

Waigand goes to market over a four to five week span.

it — you can tell by the way he answered questions, he was very up front with us and truthful. “There’s good sites and bad sites,� Riley continued. “And if there’s ever a site that’s good, to me, it’s that one. It’s off the beaten path, trees all around it — to me, it’s a good site.�

According to Waigand, the buildings are uniquely equipped to take care of themselves, and the hogs, as smoothly as possible.

“We’ve got an alarm system,� said Waigand, “so if it gets too hot, too cold, if the water pressure gets too low, it’ll call us. The big thing is, the middle of winter, when it’s -5 degrees out, you get that alarm call at 2 or 3 a.m. and it kind of freaks you out. “Outside of that, it’s pretty cut and dry,� said Waigand. “The building is really stateof-the-art.

body to come in daily, and walk the pigs, and make sure everything’s working.�

And what is that makes it all work for Waigand? “I’ve got really good neighbors,� Waigand said. “I really do. If they have a question or concern, they come to me rather than running me down behind my back. I don’t know if I’d still be farming without them.�

first. After he’s emptied the building, there’s usually a break of a few weeks before the process begins anew.

The barn Waigand uses was built in 2008. He also purchased two buildings for hogs in the summer of 2010 near Lorimor and in southwest Madison County. And just this past month, Waigand received the go-ahead from the Union County Board of Supervisors to expand his operation in Thayer. “The reason (it was) taking place,� said Waigand, “(is) I signed a new contract with JBS, and they wanted to expand it (the facility) to 5,200 head. They wanted the extra pig space, and so that’s the terms we agreed to.�

Union County Supervisor Ron Riley, and Auditor Sandy Hysell visited Waigand’s operation in September. “Myself and Sandy (Hysell) went out to score it, drove up there, and the place is clean, mowed up — (it) looked very good,� said Riley. “Ben (Waigand) obviously does a good job.

to $2,400, for a possible $4,800 that may be used to help purchase a farm asset. Since the program was first launched, more than $148,000 have been matched and given to beginning farmers who have completed the program.

The money match helps beginning farmers overcome prohibitive start-up costs, but many participants cite the networking, mentorship and business planning as the most beneficial aspects of the program. “I learned so much in two years,� said beginning farmer Dawn Anderson about the program. “The program has made me much more efficient as a producer, and I have other producers to go to for consultations when I need help. I feel like I’m light-years ahead of where I would have been on my own.�

Requirements: As part of SIP, participants are paired with a mentor, with whom they must meet in-person at least three times in the first year. Participants also: • Open and manage a savings account with Practical Farmers’ partner bank • Meet at least one time in person with a business plan reviewer • Create or fine-tune a business or whole-farm plan • Attend at least four Practical Farmers events per year.

During the survey with the Nebraska Department of Agriculture veterinarian, it was revealed that O’Neel had reduced his antimicrobial use. “We’ve improved our herd health practices on our farm and are already seeing a reduced need for antibiotics, all while improving our pigs’ health,�

O’Neel said. “Third parties who try to evaluate antibiotic-use policies do not account for or understand the real change underway on today’s farms.�

O’Neel added that, “Veterinarians and farmers work every day to protect the health and welfare of their pigs, reduce antibiotic use and lower the carbon footprint of pork production to raise the safest food possible. It is truly a delicate balance for America’s pig farmers and it is perplexing when others try to set arbitrary limits on antibiotic use that are actually detrimental to animal health, the environment and food safety.�

AMES – Practical Farmers of Iowa is now accepting applications for the Savings Incentive Program (SIP) class of 2019.

The two-year program for beginning farmers was launched in 2010, and has since served 127 individuals on their path to establishing a successful farm business.

The program aims to help beginning farmers succeed through mentorship from an experienced farmer, business plan support, chance to save money and receive matching funds, opportunity to attend a range of targeted learning events and access to a network of supportive farmers.

Applications will be accepted through Nov. 11.

Applications must be filled out and submitted using the online application form at http://practicalfarmers. org. Applications are evaluated by a committee of Practical Farmers members using a scoring system that rewards a noticeable commitment to developing independent farming goals.

Up to 12 beginning farmers will be admitted this round, with selections being made in early 2018.

The savings component of SIP works by encouraging enrollees to save $100 per month for two years.

After 24 months and completion of all program requirements, participants earn a dollar-for-dollar match on money saved up

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: Is there any way to tell whether RAW MEAT IS TENDER by looking at it? Does the price have a lot to do with it, or the type of meat or how it’s prepared? – Jack M., Little Rock, Ark. Jack, look at the marbling in beef, which is the fat that runs through the meat. Generally, the more marbling the cut of beef has, the more tender and flavorful it will be.

However, the grade of meat can make a difference, too.

There’s prime, which usually is found only in hotels or restaurants and is heavily marbled. Then come choice, select and commercial. Look for the U.S. Department of Agriculture shield on the package to determine if a USDA inspector has graded the meat. A cheaper cut of beef can be marinated to help make it more tender, but remember to cook it slowly, at the right temperature, and cut across the grain.

– Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-

5000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise. com MEATLOAF MUFFINS Dear Heloise: When I make meatloaf, I use the instant onion soup packets.

Instead of making it in a pan, I make the meatloaf in muffin tins. When the meatloaf is finished, I give each of our neighbors some of the meat muffins, and they, in turn, make some side dishes, which they share with other neighbors. – Susan B., via email CAN STORAGE Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Maui (Hawaii) News. We need to store unopened canned goods and water (at room temperature) in the tropics during hurricane season. How long can these goods be stored safely?

Mahalo! – K.C., Kihei, Maui Aloha, K.C.! For canned goods, it’s always best to look for the expiration date stamped on the can. However, never store cans above a stove or under a sink, or any other place that’s damp.

SUDOKU

High-acid foods, such as tomatoes, will keep at their best quality for 15 to 18 months.

Low-acid foods, such as meat and vegetables, usually will last two to five years. NEVER use food from a can that leaks or is bulging, or from cracked jars.

Water can be stored safely in jugs that have been washed with soap and hot water, then sanitized with 1 tablespoon bleach to 1 quart of water.

Rinse well with plain water.

You should keep a four- to six-day supply of drinking water. Store in a dry, fairly cool place, and water will keep for over a year. Don’t drink it if it smells bad or becomes “milky.” – Heloise KEEPING IT GREEN Dear Heloise: Because I live alone and a bag of greens lasts a long time, I layer the bottom of a container with paper toweling, a portion of the greens on that, and make another layer of paper towels and greens until full.

I have kept greens fresh and edible for two weeks! – Ruth B., via email (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

POI champs again

The Numbers Game

1986

The last year the U.S. didn’t qualify for the World Cup. The U.S. didn’t qualify for the 2018 World Cup after a 2-1 loss to Trinidad & Tobago Tuesday.

AGAIN

U.S.

Soccer COUVA, Trinidad (AP) — Twenty-eight years after the United States ended a four-decade World Cup absence with a stunning victory at Trinidad, the Americans’ chances for the 2018 tournament in Russia ended on this island nation off the coast of Venezuela in even more astonishing fashion.

Needing only a tie and confident of victory against the world’s 99th-ranked team, the U.S. was eliminated from World Cup contention Tuesday night with a 2-1 loss to Trinidad and Tobago that ended a run of seven straight American appearances at soccer’s showcase.

“We let down an entire nation today,” said defender Omar Gonzalez, whose 17th-minute own goal started the collapse.

Gonzalez casually tried to clear Alvin Jones’ cross and sent it looping from 15 yards over the outstretched right arm of Tim Howard. Jones doubled the deal in the 37th minute with a 35-yard strike.

Christian Pulisic, the Americas’ rising 19-yearold star, scored in the 47th minute, giving the U.S. hope.

Clint Dempsey, at 34 trying to make it to a fourth World Cup, entered at the start of the second half and was denied by goalkeeper Adrian Foncette’s leaping save in the 69th and hit a post from 22 yards in the 77th. Bobby Wood’s header in the 88th was sent wide by Foncette.

Even a defeat could have earned a berth, but only if Panama and Honduras both lost. And if the U.S. and only one of those rivals were beaten, the Americans would have finished fourth and advanced to a playoff next month against Australia.

Panama trailed 1-0 to Costa Rica at halftime and Honduras was behind 2-1 to Mexico, but both rallied against nations that already had clinched berths. Gabriel Torres scored for Panama in the 52nd minute on a shot that did not appear to cross the goal line, and Honduras went ahead on Guillermo Ochoa’s own goal in the 54th and Romell Quioto’s goal in the 60th.

At that point, the 28th-ranked Americans were playoff bound, but Roman Torres scored in the 88th minute to give Panama a 2-1 win, a third-place finish with 13 points and its first World Cup berth. Honduras finished fourth on goal difference and goes to the playoff.

The Americans, who would have qualified with 13 points because of a superior goal difference, instead had 12 points and finished fifth in the hexagonal.

“It’s a blemish for us,” coach Bruce Arena said.

“We should not be staying home for this World Cup and I take the responsibility for that.”

American players were not aware of the scores of the other games until after the final whistle.

LEON — A high level of success is an expectation for Mount Ayr volleyball, and the now back-to-back-toback Pride of Iowa Conference champs have known that fact all year.

Mount Ayr rode a seven-match win streak into the tournament, a nine-match win streak overall into competition Tuesday night and did not slow down.

The Raiderettes blew past Central Decatur in consecutive sets 25-13, 25-16 in the semifinals and Southeast Warren, which had won 10 of its last 11 matches, 25-18, 25-18, 25-21.

“I talked about in the locker room, Southeast Warren hasn’t won a conference championship for a long time, so they’re going to want it more,” Mount Ayr coach Tori Braby said.

“And our girls automatically were like ‘no, we still want

it more.’”

It’s no wonder the Raiderettes maintain such confidence with that attitude.

Mount Ayr showed just how prepared it was for the evening when it sprinted out to a 19-3 lead over hosts Central Decatur in the first set of the night, and despite a decent run by the Cardinals, put them away with relative ease in both sets.

“I said my grandpa is in the audience and I said ‘he doesn’t feel well enough to be here, so let’s not make him nervous,’” Braby jokingly remarked.

Mount Ayr rode into the finals on its wave of confidence and from the beginning, carried itself with a collective poise and confidence that would be hard for any team to match.

Raiderette setter Alyssa Johnson fed the hot hand in Keirston Klommhaus, with the former boosting up 30 assists and the latter walloping 27 kills.

“We came determined to win. We wanted to kill it,” Klommhaus said.

Kill it she did, as did the other Raiderettes. Mount Ayr registered 46 team kills, as the Raiderettes repeatedly took advantage of free balls over the net to set up their attack in an efficient

“I TALKED about it in the locker room.

Southeast Warren hasn’t won a conference championship for a long time, so they’re going to want it more. Our girls automatically were like ‘no, we still want it more.’”

Johnson repeatedly fed her hitters early on against the Warhawks, as Mount Ayr jumped out to a 5-1 lead.

“She doesn’t get a lot of love from around because they don’t notice the assists, everyone looks to see who’s killing the ball,” Braby said.

“But if they watch her to see how many balls she actually gets to…she’s a pretty amazing player.”

Brown’s season sidelined at UNI n Hulett

steps down at Northwest after head injury

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

CEDAR FALLS — Redshirt freshman offensive tackle Spencer Brown of Lenox suffered a season-ending knee injury Saturday in the University of Northe r n Iowa’s 38-29 homecoming loss to Brown Western Illinois.

Brown injured his right knee in the game. He

had a surgically repaired left knee while in high school.

An MRI revealed no damage to his ACL, but he has a torn MCL and some tissue ripped that attaches the patellar tendon to the femur. Brown said he is looking at four months recovery time.

The loss put UNI’s record at 2-3, 1-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Brown said he is not eligible for a medical redshirt this year.

He said only injuries occurring before the third game meet the criteria.

So, the offseason for Brown just got a lot longer than anticipated.

“I’m already started,” Brown said. “I injured my knee on Saturday and was in the weight room Monday!”

Brown arrived on campus as a 235-pound tight end candidate and

this fall the 6-foot-8, 290-pounder became the starting offensive right tackle for the Panthers.

This week UNI takes on No. 7-ranked ranked South Dakota State at 2 p.m. in Brookings, South Dakota.

Head concerns Freshman defensive lineman Kadon Hulett’s football career at Northwest Missouri State is over before it barely started.

Hulett sustained a concussion during the first week of preseason practice and continued to experience problems.

After an appointment with a neurologist in Kansas City, Missouri, Hulett said there was concern about any subsequent damaging blows to the head, based on past history of some INJURIES | 14A

Southwest Valley’s Kayley Myers pushes the ball over the top of Southeast Warren blocks in the semifinals of the POI tourney Tuesday in Leon. The Timberwolves fell to SEW, but took third place by defeating host Central Decatur.

CHAMPS: CONT. FROM | 11A

with 73 blocks.

Mount Ayr finished off set one 25-18 and went on to win set two by the same margin.

The Raiderettes swung hard and often between Klommhaus, Shields and Hayley Whittington, the latter of whom had six kills, 12 digs and was 14 of 14 serving in the finals, and seized a 9-1 lead.

Another run by Southeast Warren, capped by a Steenhoek kill and a Zaddie Beck ace pulled the score to 18-12 Mount Ayr and made the Raiderettes look shaky for the first time all night.

Again, Klommhaus and Shields came to the rescue with their net play and Johnson remained a calm presence for the offensive attack.

The final set was highlighted by the success of Samantha Stewart, whose play all over the court helped Mount Ayr head home early. That was especially the case after Mount Ayr struggled with serve receive for portions of the second set.

“I looked at Sam and said, ‘you own the back row,’” Braby said. Make the passes and when you’re in the front row, it’s going to make you better.”

Better she was, Stewart had a handful of her eight kills in the third set as Klommhaus again showed her abilities with several blasts off the wall of Warhawk block attempts. That included the final point of the night, as the ball came off the SEW wall fell directly in front of the Mount Ayr bench, leaving no doubt that the Raiderettes had clinched their third consecutive conference crown.

“It just proves that even though we lost so many seniors, we still have a foundation,” Johnson said.

Now, the Raiderettes (199) open up the postseason Tuesday against Wayne.

Should the Raiderettes win, they’ll play at Clarinda on Oct. 23.

Southwest Valley takes third Southwest Valley fell against Southeast Warren 2518, 25-14 to allow the Warhawks through to the finals, but did play well in defeating Central Decatur 27-25, 25-13 for third place.

Abby Fleharty led Southwest Valley with six kills in the win over CD. “Beating CD for second time this season was great!”

Southwest Valley coach Lindsey Wetzel said. “After not playing well in the first match of the night against SEW, it was great to see the girls come back, fight and work hard for the win against CD.” “I would say we still weren’t playing up to our potential, but we did enough to get the win and finish third place in the POI conference tourney,” Wetzel said. “I am proud of the girls for a great tourney run, of course, we would have liked to be in that championship match, but we just didn’t play well enough against SEW to make that happen.”

The Timberwolves end regular season play on Thursday at home vs. Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson and Shenandoah.

SWV will open regional play at home with Nodaway Valley on Oct. 17

HARLAN — It was senior night for Harlan volleyball Tuesday and the Cyclones responded with a strong effort by those veteran players in a 3-1 victory over Creston.

The Class 4A 15th-ranked Cyclones improved to 19-10 overall and 6-4 in Hawkeye 10 Conference play with a 25-11, 17-25, 25-21, 25-16 victory over the Panthers.

Creston fell to 10-13 and 3-6.

Senior Haley Leinen had 10 kills in 35 attack attempts for the Cyclones. Senior libero Sidney Craig had 11 digs and reached 1,000 in her career Tuesday. She also served 24 of 24 with a teamhigh five aces.

Also from the senior class, Lexie Holloway had 19 assists in splitting setting duties with junior Kara Weis in the Cyclones’ fast-paced 6-2 offense. Holloway also had five blocks.

The other senior honored, Delaney Kelly, had eight digs and served 11-12.

Harlan standout junior Olivia Petersen teamed with Leinen for an imposing blocking duo at the net against the Panthers. Petersen finished with 11 kills, five blocks and served 14-15.

After a slow start, the Panthers snared some momentum in the second set and throughout a competitive third set. Co-coach Mallory Peterson said Creston is a relatively inexperienced

team, but made some key adjustments in improving its scoring against the Cyclones on a more regular basis.

“We got up early in that second set, like 4-0, 8-2 and 10-3 before they got on a couple of runs to get within two,” Peterson said. “The third set was close, but we just had some out of system errors at inopportune times.

We fought pretty well there after getting behind 5-0 at the start.”

Peterson said senior hitter Cayla Maitlen made some adjustments in attacking the Cyclone blocks and finished with a team-high 15 kills.

Breanna Wallace added seven kills and freshman Kelsey Fields contributed six.

“They were getting blocks on us in that first set,” Peterson said. “We were adjusting to it after that and Cayla’s not scared to swing into it when we have our defense ready to cover for our hitters. MaKenna Hudson dug out a lot of balls tonight.

Once we got some touches in the front we did much better.”

Freshman Samantha Dunphy and Megan Haley each had two blocks and Taylor Buxton and Fields each had one. Buxton played all six rotations much of the night and finished with two kills, eight digs and one setting assist. She served 9 of 11 with one ace.

“Taylor plays really consistent for us and she hits well out of system,” Peterson said. “We were definitely a lot younger than them, but it was good for us to get that experience now. We’ll have some of these players for two or three more years.”

Hudson, the team’s soph-

omore libero, compiled 15 digs. Wallace and Maitlen each had 13. Setter Bree Ross provided 28 setting assists.

UP NEXT — The regular season concludes for Creston at home Monday against Class 3A 10th-ranked Red Oak, which improved to 17-10 overall and 6-3 in the Hawkeye 10 with a triangular sweep over Shenandoah and Atlantic Tuesday night.

Sierra Athen led Red Oak with 16 kills and 17 digs in the impressive 25-17, 25-10, 25-18 victory over Shenandoah.

Panther seniors to be honored Monday with their parents are Taylor Fredrickson, Wallace and Maitlen.

The Panthers travel to Shenandoah (19-9) two nights later to begin Class 3A regional play.

Ram JV holds off Panthers

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

GLENWOOD — Creston/O-M scored on four touchdown passes and a pair of two-point conversions in a 36-28 loss to the Glenwood JV on Monday.

The combined freshman-sophomore game was scheduled after Friday’s freshman game on Creston was canceled to allow for an early start of the varsity game, with storms forecast for later in the evening.

Cole Strider was 9 of 16 passing for 317 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. His TD connections were 70 yards to Andy Mills, 65 yards to Cael Kralik and 60 yards to Brance Baker. Cael Kralik also completed a 23-yard touchdown pass to Baker.

Rounds each had three. Fields had a solo block.

“We played a little slow and reactively tonight,” Peterson said. “We were waiting for things to happen and then reacting rather than anticipating.

We just seemed to be one step behind.

Mills carried 16 times for 97 rushing yards for the Panthers. Aiden Filer led the defense with 14 tackles and Garron Wurster had 11.

“Tonight was a great challenge for our team,” Creston/O-M co-coach Kevin Cooper said. “It was a freshman-sophomore game, and Glenwood was able to get out in front of us early.

We really felt like the kids kept competing, and gave themselves a chance in the second half, but we came up just short.”

Des Moines airport to offer premium vehicle parking DES MOINES (AP) — The Des Moines airport board has approved a plan to create a premium parking option at its parking garage that will cost travelers $20 a day.

The Des Moines Regis-

ing to pay a little more for convenient parking very close to the terminal.”

Airport officials say spots in the garage’s shortterm parking area often go unused, while long-term parking spaces regularly

are filled. The premium spots will be on the garage’s first floor, directly across from the terminal building entrance.

Long-term parking in the garage runs $14 per day.
