National and state races will come down to the wire this election season

By SARAH BROWN

The issues

CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews.com

With three weeks left until election day, Republicans are closing in on six Senate seats currently held

by Democrats. However, the lead is so slight, the possibility of a defeat hovers over the GOP.

In Iowa As Joni Ernst (R) and Bruce Braley (D) vie for retiring Senator Tom Harkin’s seat, a recent Des Moines Register and Bloomberg Politics Iowa poll of likely voters released Saturday shows the Iowa Senate candidates separated by just one Ernst percentage point with Ernst at 47 percent and Braley at 46 percent.

“Joni has made this a tight race,” said Gretchen Hamel, communications director for Joni Ernst.

It appears early voting has given Democrats an advantage. As of Friday, registered Democrats lead the total ballots returned — 47 percent to 37 percent.

According to a Pew Research Report, republicans and democrats are split over the key issues in the election.

According to the report, more than 70 percent of Republicans rate the following issues as the most important: terrorism, economy, budget deficit, foreign policy and immigration. Braley The issues most important to Democrats, in order, are health care, economic equality, environment and birth control.

Where do Iowa’s Senate candidates stand?

Hamel feels Ernst is doing a great job on the campaign trail as Ernst meets with voters in all of Iowa’s 99 counties. As she plows through Iowa, Ernst is focused on bringing the “Iowa way” to Washington.

Ernst is focused on creating jobs, growing the economy and reforming health care, which she plans on

Iowa state races

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

The Creston News Advertiser coverage area has several competitive races at the state level. With the election less than three weeks away and absentee voting open, candidates are making their final push to secure their seats in November.

District 11 will have a new Senator for the Iowa Senate after Sen. Hubert Houser announced he was stepping down at the end of the legislative session.

Republican Tom Shipley held off a challenge from Art Hill in the primary and does not have contested race in the general election.

“I’m still trying to get around to the communities and advertise to remind people the election is coming upon us,” Shipley said. “I feel that people want a government that is going to work for them instead of against them.”

For the Iowa House, two incumbents are being challenged to represent Districts 20 and 21.

Branstad, Hatch debate jobs, economic development SIOUX CITY (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad touted his record on economic development Tuesday night during his final debate against Democratic challenger Jack Hatch, who accused the incumbent governor of breaking promises to create jobs and boost incomes.

Branstad and Hatch appeared in Sioux City at the Orpheum Theatre in the last of three debates.

Branstad, who is running for a sixth non-consecutive term, noted a recent commercial property tax cut and new jobs in Iowa. But Hatch said Branstad was inflating job creation numbers and had not provided enough tax relief to working families.

“We can’t afford four more years of Terry Branstad and his promises kept or broken,” Hatch said.

Branstad said he was proud of his record, saying he was “recruited to come back and lead Iowa’s come-

Hatch

back.”

Branstad, 67, has held a sizable lead throughout the race, with far more money and support than the 64-year-old Hatch. A new Iowa Poll from the Des Moines Register and Bloomberg Politics released this week shows Branstad with the support of 54 percent of likely voters and Hatch with 39 percent.

That survey of 1,000 likely voters, conducted by Selzer & Co. of Des Moines, has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.

During the debate, Hatch expressed support for raising the minimum wage in Iowa, saying it would benefit working families. Branstad said he would prefer to focus on attracting good jobs to the state.

The two disagreed on raising the state gas tax for infrastructure spending, with Hatch supporting such a move and Branstad saying he would seek a combination of road user fees. He didn’t specify those fees.

“I don’t think the old fashioned gas tax is the way,” Branstad said.

In response, Hatch said: “He can’t collect enough fees from different sources.”

Asked what they admired about their opponent, Hatch said Branstad had hired good staff during his early years in office, while Branstad said he respected Hatch for being “willing to put his name on the ballot and serve the people of Iowa.”

Libertarian candidate killed in plane crash Dr. Douglas Butzier died when the plane he was piloting crashed around 11 p.m.

Monday ■

DES MOINES (AP) — The Libertarian Party candidate for governor says the party’s candidate for U.S. Senate put his heart and soul into running with a firm belief in individual liberty.

Dr. Douglas Butzier (BUT’-zeer) died when the plane he was piloting crashed around 11 p.m. Monday near Dubuque Regional Airport.

The party’s candidate for governor, Dr. Lee Hieb, says Butzier just last weekend had flown her and several Libertarian Party candidates around the state to campaign.

Hieb, an orthopedic surgeon, says she talked medicine with Butzier, a Dubuque emergency room surgeon, during some of their campaign events.

He told her he became a Libertarian after studying economics for a Master of Business Administration about seven years ago.

She says “Iowa and the cause of individual liberty are significantly diminished by his passing.”

Court documents also state Zachary and Cindy Malson, son and wife of the victim, were present at the time of the shooting.

“I feel really good about all of the endorsements I have received,” said Rep. Jack Drake, who has represented District 21 since 1 9 9 3 .

“People that I have talked to are very s a t i s f i e d Drake with how things are going in Iowa.”

Drake is being challenged by Democrat Tim Ennis.

Ennis has been a resident of Adams County since 1971. He has been a Farm Bureau member since 1991 when he worked as an insurance agent in Union County.

In District 20, Democrat Steve Roe is up against Rep. Clel Baudler.

R o e said his family’s b a c k - Roe ground in education and his work

with soil and water conservation has received positive feedback from potential voters.

“We have knocked on a lot of doors and shook a lot of hands,” Roe said. “People are concerned about keeping rural schools up to date so their children can get jobs and succeed at the college level.”

Baudler said voters have a good understanding of what he stands for based on his previous eight terms in Baudler the Iowa House.

“The state is in pretty good shape financially,” Baudler said, who has represented District 20 since 1999. “We are not going to spend more money than we take in.”

Election Day is slated Nov. 4, but voters can submit an absentee ballot now.

proposing a free-market system and improving exports for Iowa products to better compete in the global economy.

“It comes down to taking what has worked here in Iowa and what Governor Brandstad has been able to do,” said Hamel.

Braley is focused on broader range of voters in his home state by campaigning on issues that affect them: raising the minimum wage, protecting and strengthening Social Security and Medicare, reducing the burden of college costs, and continuing to support legislation that

directly benefits veterans’ access to employment, education and compensation.

“This election has been a great opportunity to speak to Iowans about my focus on policies that put Iowa families first,” Braley said. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to travel the state to listen to Iowans and highlight my plans to be a Senator who fights for all of Iowa’s families.”

Third Congressional District In Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, Staci Appel (D), a former state senator from Ackworth, faces off with David Young (R - Van Meter), former chief

of staff for Senator Chuck Grassley, for Congressman Tom Latham’s seat.

Appel said she can feel Appel the momentum and energy on the trail as election day nears. “ I ’ m Young proud of my record as someone who has delivered results for Iowa’s mid-

dle class families, including raising the minimum wage, reorganizing state government and expanding preschool for every 4 year old,” Appel said.

In these final weeks, Appel and Young are meeting with voters in every corner of the state.

“I think Republicans are in a great position this year to keep the House and take back the Senate,” said Tim Ulbrect, spokesman for David Young.

Young said there is “a lot of fatigue with regard to the Obama economy.”

“Republicans are ready to capitalize on it,” said Ulbrecht.

Man who confessed to 1985 NY murder could be freed NEW YORK (AP) — They were 16 when they confessed to kidnapping and killing a stranger and taking a joyride in his car. They quickly recanted but were convicted of murder.

Now, almost 30 years later, Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson plans to ask a judge Wednesday to throw out the convictions of David McCallum and the late Willie Stuckey, saying their convictions hinged on made-up confessions peppered with details seemingly supplied by police. Their cause was championed by Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, the late ex-boxer who became an international symbol of injustice when he fought his triple murder conviction.

“We’ve concluded that the confessions were false, and they were false in large part because these 16-yearolds were fed false facts,” Thompson said by phone Tuesday. No other evidence tied the two to the abduction or killing of 20-year-old Nathan Blenner, he said.

If a judge agrees, McCallum, 45, could be released as soon as Wednesday. He greeted the news with “disbelief, combined with just utter joy” when his lawyers phoned him Tuesday in prison, attorney Oscar Michelen said.

Stuckey died in prison in 2001.

Theirs are the ninth and 10th decades-old convictions Thompson has disavowed since taking office this year, but the first in which he’s cited a false confession as the main reason.

His predecessor reviewed McCallum’s and Stuckey’s convictions and decided to stand by them last year, and they had lost various appeals.

The New York Police Department had no immediate response

to Thompson’s plans. The lead detective in taking the confessions has died.

The news stunned and dismayed Blenner’s relatives.

“We were led to believe, for 29 years, that they’re the killers. They confessed,” said his sister, Dr. Deborah Blenner, adding that the family found it troubling that a review by DA’s staffers and an advisory panel of outside lawyers could upend a jury verdict that appeals courts upheld.

The ailing Carter worked on McCallum’s bid for exoneration for a decade after getting a letter from him.

“My aim in helping this fine man is to pay it forward, to give the help that I received as a wrongly convicted man to another who needs such help now,” Carter wrote in the Daily News in February, two months before he died of prostate cancer.

McCallum and Stuckey were arrested after Blenner was found shot dead in a park, his wallet gone, in a rough part of Brooklyn in October 1985. Back in Blenner’s middle-class Queens neighborhood, witnesses told police they had seen two men push Blenner into his Buick Regal and drive away. The car was found, torched, a few days later in Brooklyn.

McCallum and Stuckey gave confessions naming the other as the gunman but soon professed their innocence.

The teens were convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison after a trial that featured their confessions and a witness’ testimony that Stuckey had sought to get rid of a gun with “a body on it”; Thompson says the witness’ credibility has proven questionable.

Thompson’s office has been examining more than 100 mostly homicide cases from the 1980s and 1990s. He said he was struck by inconsistencies and improbabilities in McCallum’s and Stuckey’s videotaped and written statements.

Stuckey described commenting on a woman’s car in Blenner’s neighborhood shortly before the kidnapping, a remark she reported hearing as two men eyeballed her car. But the woman’s description of the men didn’t match Stuckey and McCallum, and prosecutors at the time took inconsistent positions, Thompson said.

Although they embraced Stuckey’s confession, they said the defendants weren’t the men she saw.

“How can we say that Stuckey’s confession was valid?” Thompson asked.

Stuckey also described three shots — something a witness had said to police, though authorities ultimately found evidence of only one shot, Thompson said. Police also didn’t find the gun where Stuckey said he’d hidden it, under his mattress, and the statements described an hours-long drive by two teenagers whom no one had ever seen drive at all, the DA noted.

The teens also said the shooting happened as night fell. Medical examiners determined Blenner died around 3:15 p.m.

McCallum, the subject of a recent documentary film, “David & Me,” has said he felt pressed to confess and implicate Stuckey after hearing Stuckey had done the same to him.

Recent DNA tests and fingerprint analyses from the stolen car matched other people, fueling questions about the case, Michelen said. No one else has been charged.

OPINION The military vs. Marlboro

We are losing a war in Iraq and Syria, the military is shrinking dangerously as global threats are growing, and yet the Pentagon is mustering its forces against tobacco products.

The Department of Defense is studying a ban on the sale of cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco on bases and ships. Without committing himself, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has spoken favorably of the idea, citing health-care costs: “I think we owe it to our people.”

So, we can’t figure out how to degrade and destroy ISIS, as repeatedly promised by the commander in chief, but just maybe we can figure out how to defeat Marlboro and Copenhagen. This would make a lot of sense — if Michael Bloomberg were the grand strategist of the United States.

The military life frequently involves the kinds of situations that lend themselves to smoking,

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

namely mind-numbing boredom and incredible stress, sometimes one after another, so it has long been associated with smoking.

There were national pushes to provide cigarettes to the troops in World War I and World War II. Gen. John Pershing said cigarettes were as important as bullets. The heavily stubbled, bone-weary GIs depicted in the iconic Bill Mauldin cartoons often have cigarettes drooping from their lips. Up until 1975, cigarettes were included in military rations.

During the battle of Fallujah, Lance Cpl. James Blake Miller became known as the Marlboro Marine when a picture of him,

grimy and bloodied, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, ran in 150 newspapers and magazines.

The Los Angeles Times photographer who took the picture later wrote of the terrors of that battle and how when the world was exploding around them, “Everybody dragged deeply on cigarettes.”

(The photo was so instantly popular that the Marines offered to yank Miller off the front line so he wouldn’t get hurt; Miller refused, and has suffered terribly from post-traumatic stress disorder.)

Of course, cigarettes aren’t good for you. But if they are a significant health risk, so is signing up to risk life and limb for your country.

Rep. Duncan Hunter, a California Republican and Marine reservist who has rallied congressional opposition to the ban, puts it this way: “We sleep in the dirt for this country. We get shot at for this country. But we can’t have a cig-

arette if we want to for this country, because that’s unhealthy.”

A prohibition on tobacco sales would be a step toward denying members of the military access to consumer products that are freely available to the general population. No one tries to stop the black-turtleneck-wearing graduate student studying Baudelaire from buying a pack of cigarettes, but the Marine whose rifle is his best friend is another story.

What sense is there in that? And does it not occur to the prohibitionists that if cigarettes aren’t sold on base, an enterprising soldier or sailor might buy them from the local 7-Eleven?

The U.S. military is the baddest killing machine that the world has ever known. It also is an enormous federal bureaucracy subject to the same asinine, politically trendy imperatives of any other federal bureaucracy.

Certainly, in terms of sheer

health, it would be better if every member of the military ate lots of kale and other leafy greens, had a glass of red wine over dinner and never touched a cigarette. Soldiers and sailors might have other ideas about what they want to consume, though. They have signed up for an inherently regimented life, but — as people in whom we entrust life-and-death responsibility — they deserve the leeway to decide for themselves whether they want to light up or not.

If they can fight ISIS, battle the Taliban, brave Ebola and respond to natural disasters around the world — and do it well and without complaint — surely they can handle the threat of having cigarettes sold in close proximity to them.

Hollywood actresses demanded harsher laws against hackers HOLLYWOOD—Happy Wednesday, everybody, and God bless America.

National Football League owners had meetings in New York City on Thursday and Friday where they discussed new ideas that include a pre-season exhibition game in Australia next year.

It’s only right. Australia started out as a prison colony while the NFL has evolved into one.

CDC Director Tom Frieden urged all hospitals to provide the right protection to staffers against the spread of Ebola. Not all regions are alarmed. The disease still isn’t an issue in Los Angeles, where the panic to stop Ebola is nowhere near as hysterical as the panic to stop aging.

Ivory Coast evicted Liberian cacao pickers over Ebola fears and now this year’s chocolate supply may be wiped out. Sometimes things break Michelle Obama’s way. It’s not easy for comedians to tell jokes about the non-funny topic of the possibility of running out of chocolate.

The Nobel Prize for Economics went to French economist Dr. Jean Tirole last week. His masterful works demonstrate how smart government policies can spur business competition, discourage monopolies and stimulate free market growth. President Obama finished last.

Gwyneth Paltrow introduced President Obama Friday, praising his good looks then urging Amer-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

ica to give him dictatorial powers.

She caught hell. It’s the last time she asks a guest of honor to write his own introduction and then have it put on the Teleprompter for her to read.

President Obama was reported planning to empty Gitmo by executive order after the fall elections without congressional approval.

It’s a relatively simple process to empty the facility of all the terrorist detainees. All he has to do is assign the Secret Service to guard the prison.

The Columbus Day Parade in New York Monday showcased Italian-Americans marching to honor the Italian who discovered America. He thought he’d landed in India. The islanders just looked at him cross-eyed when he handed them his compass and asked for technical support.

Hollywood actresses demanded harsher laws against hackers who upload and post their private photos online. It drives down the price Playboy might pay them.

Hollywood people believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, wholesome and natural things that money can buy.

The Bill Clinton Presidential Library released ten thousand documents revealing how his

White House handled the Monica Lewinsky scandal. It was a nasty fight. At one point when Special Prosecutor Ken Starr wanted Monica’s fingerprints, he subpoenaed the president’s back.

A CNN pundit said the U.S. has a special obligation to help Liberia since it was founded by freed Southern slaves. What a story. As soon as they landed, Liberians bought slaves locally to work the land, proving conclusively that our similarities are much greater than our differences.

Joe Biden campaigned in Florida Monday for Democratic candidate for governor Charlie Crist.

The Democrats are running on the environment. Joe has a climate change plan, he says we can lower the earth’s temperature dramatically just by switching from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

John Kerry declared in Boston that life on earth as we know it will end if we don’t do all we can to halt climate change. He said that climate change is a bigger threat than terrorism. Unless the terrorist is on your airplane, then that extra half-degree doesn’t bother you so much.

A Barcelona comedy club installed facial recognition software so they can scan customer reactions to each joke and charge thirty cents a laugh. Spaniards are so inclusive since the last Inquisition. Now instead of just torturing non-Christians, they’re putting comedians on the rack.

US retail sales fell in September on autos and gas WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. retail sales retreated in September as purchases of autos, gasoline, furniture and clothing slowed, a sign that recent job gains have yet to significantly boost consumer spending.

The Commerce Department said Wednesday that seasonally adjusted retail sales dropped 0.3 percent from the previous month.

Sales have risen 4.3 percent in the past 12 months, slightly below their historical pace.

Auto sales fell 0.8 percent in September, after revving up 10.4 percent in August.

Dealers sold cars and trucks at an annual pace of

16.43 million vehicles last month, down from a rate of 17.5 million in August, according to automakers. While auto sales have helped drive economic growth for much of the year, the recent slip was enough to dent overall retail sales in September.

Falling gasoline prices also contributed to a decline in retail sales, as purchases at service stations were off 0.8 percent in September.

Drivers are spending much less at the pump, as average U.S. prices have dropped to $3.19 a gallon from $3.40 a month ago, according to the AAA. That should eventually free up income for con-

sumers to spend elsewhere.

Purchases of clothing dropped 1.2 percent last month and spending on building materials fell 1.1 percent.

“It’s hard to square the drop in underlying sales with the strengthening labor market and the boost to real incomes from lower gasoline prices,” said Paul Diggle, an economist at Capital Economics. “As such, we expect sales growth to strengthen again before too long.”

On the other side of the ledger, spending at electronics stores rose 3.4 percent last month. Electronics sales probably improved in September thanks in part to the

release of new iPhones by Apple. Apple says it sold more than 10 million iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models, a record for a new model, in the three days after the phones went on sale.

Excluding autos, retail sales still dipped 0.2 percent last month.

Increased consumer spending could help buffer the U.S. economy from the consequences of a broader global slowdown. Roughly 70 percent of all U.S. economic activity is driven by consumer spending.

dinner for four What more could you ask for...meat, potatoes and a vegetable. Now all you need to do is add a dessert. Done! Smakelijk eten! coffee roast beef 1 boneless beef chuck roast (5 lb.)

2 Tbsp. olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 1 garlic clove, minced

1 tsp. dried oregano 1 tsp. dried basil 1/2 tsp. pepper 3/4 tsp. salt

1 cup strong brewed coffee 3/4 cup plus 1/3 cup water, divided 3/4 cup beef stock 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

In a Dutch oven, brown roast in oil on all sides. Remove and set aside. Add onion to the pan; saute until tender. Add garlic and seasonings; cook 1 minute longer. Add the coffee, 3/4 cup water and stock; return roast to pan. Bring to a boil. Cover and bake at 325° for 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 hours or until meat is tender. Remove beef to a serving platter; keep warm. Combine flour and remaining water until smooth. Stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. I cut the recipe in half, baked the roast at 300° for 2 1/4 hours and it turned out just right and we even had some leftovers. party potatoes 4 cups mashed potatoes or 4 cups prepared instant potatoes 1 cup (8 oz.) sour cream 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened 1 tsp. minced chives

1/4 tsp. garlic powder 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs 1 Tbsp. butter, melted 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or more

In a large bowl, combine potatoes, sour cream, cream cheese, chives and garlic powder. Turn into a greased 2-qt. casserole.

Combine bread crumbs with butter; sprinkle over potatoes. Bake at 350° for 50 to 60 minutes. Top with cheese and serve immediately. Yield: 10-12 servings. I cut this recipe in half also, since we were serving only 4 people.

Golden-crusted brussels sprouts 24 small brussels sprouts 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup grated cheese of your choice - I used Gouda cheese

Wash the brussels sprouts well. Trim the stem ends and remove any raggy outer leaves. Cut in half from stem to top and place in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. I also sprinkled a 1/2 Tbsp. sugar over the sprouts. Heat 1 Tbsp. of olive oil in your largest skillet over medium heat. Don’t overheat the skillet, or the outsides of the brussels sprouts will cook too quickly. Place the brussels sprouts in the pan flat side down (single-layer), cover and cook for roughly 5 minutes; the bottoms of the sprouts should only show a hint of browning. Cut into or taste one of the sprouts to gauge whether they’re tender throughout. If not, cover and cook for a few more minutes. Once just tender, uncover, turn up the heat, and cook until the flat sides are deep brown and caramelized. Use a spatula to toss them once or twice to get some browning on the rounded side. Season with more salt and pepper (to taste), and a dusting of grated cheese. While you might be able to get away with keeping a platter of these warm in the oven for a few minutes, they are tastier if popped in your mouth immediately.

FARM 2014 Adams County AKSARBEN 4-H Livestock Show results Four Adams County 4-H’ers exhibited livestock at the 87th AKSARBEN Youth Livestock Exposition, Sept. 25-28 in Omaha, Neb. In the beef division, exhibitors included Dustin Lund of Corning, son of Tanner and Brittina Lund. Lund competed in the market beef competition where he exhibited a steer that placed second in its class and received a purple ribbon.

Lund and his steer then also won reserve champion with the steer in the continental breed market steer division.

He then competed in the grand champion market steer drive against the British breed and the crossbred champions and reserves. Lund also received a purple in the herdsmanship division with his project.

In the breeding heifer show

at AKSARBEN, Garrett Stalcup and Makala Houck, son and daughter of Craig and Amy Stalcup of Prescott, exhibited purebred Charolais breeding heifers. Houck placed first in her class and Stalcup placed second in the same class. Both heifers received purple ribbons. Houck also received a purple ribbon in the breeding heifer showmanship division, and Stalcup and Houck received purple herdsmanship awards.

market barrow. He received a purple and third place in the swine showmanship competition and was recognized with a blue in the swine premier exhibitor competition. Premier exhibitors are ranked based on showmanship results, scores on a production and management quiz, an interview and a skillathon in their livestock species area. Birt also received a blue ribbon in the swine herdsmanship competition.

For more information on this and other 4-H activities and events with Adams County 4-H, contact Adams County Extension at 641-322-3184.

Extension programs are available to all regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation and marital or family status.

More than 400 members from 22 schools gathered at Clarke County Fairgrounds in Osceola Sept. 30 to participate in five different events – livestock, horse and dairy foods evaluations, farm business management exam and junior and senior quizzes. Creston and Wayne-Corydon FFA chapters hosted the career development event (CDE) for the South Central FFA District.

CDEs provide opportunities for FFA members to apply their knowledge and skill attained in the classroom to situations that require evaluation and reasoning. CDEs are designed to test members’ agricultural abilities that are pertinent for secur-

ing agricultural careers.

“There is a need in our area to provide a venue such as the fall CDE day to get our new members interested in the contests as well challenge the skills of our older members,” Kelsey Bailey, Creston FFA adviser, said.

The Creston FFA chapter faired well at the September contests as the horse judging team earned first place with Cade Vicker earning first place individual honors and Taylor Sorrells earning second place individual honors. The livestock judging team also represented Creston well earning third place team; Tyler Waddingham earning first place individual honors; Wyatt Thompson

earned third place individual; and Dalten Bierle earned 10th place individual.

“We have had the event idea since last fall, over the summer we worked to move the idea forward and with the right connections, we were able to make the event possible,” Dan May, Wayne-Corydon FFA chapter adviser.

When asked, Wyatt Thomspon said this about his participation in judging livestock, “I enjoy judging (livestock) because I have the chance to challenge myself and see just how good I am at picking out the best stock. I raise cattle with my dad, so having an eye for cattle is important to me.”

Iowa pig farmers celebrating Pork Month October became known as Pork Month because it marked the time of year when hogs were traditionally marketed. Today, it serves as a celebration to thank pig farmers and share their stories with consumers.

“If you eat, you have a connection to a farmer every day,” said Iowa Pork Producers Association President Jamie Schmidt, a hog farmer from Garner. “October Pork Month is an opportunity to refresh the connection consumers have with farmers. Our mission is to produce safe, nutritious food in a responsible manner for families across the United States and around the world.”

In 2008, hog farmers adopted six We CareSM ethical principles at the National Pork Industry Forum. The pork industry follows the six guiding ethical principles of the We Care initiative to maintain a safe, high-quality pork supply. Producers are committed to: • Producing safe food • Safeguarding natural re-

sources in all industry practices, • Providing a work environment that is safe and consistent with the industry’s other ethical principles • Contributing to a better quality of life in communities • Protecting and promoting animal well-being • Ensuring practices to protect public health “The ethical principles define our values and who we are,” Schmidt said. “Consumers can be confident that the pork they eat was raised using these ethical principles.”

Pork is the world’s most widely eaten meat, representing 37 percent of all meat consumed, according to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service.

Some 81 percent of the population consumes pork in-home at least once in an average twoweek period. As of May 2014, real per capita pork expenditures were up 7.5 percent for 2014 compared with the same time period a year ago. According to

retail scanner data from July 1, 2013, to June 30, 2014, the top five most popular pork cuts sold are boneless New York chops, back ribs, bone-in chops, spareribs and boneless tenderloin.

In terms of sales, boneless New York Chops accounted for more

than $847 million, back ribs more than $612 million, bone-in chops more than $404 million, spareribs more than $387 million and boneless tenderloin more than $369 million.

“Consumers recognize the versatility of serving pork in their

homes,” Schmidt said. “Cook pork until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit, followed by a three-minute rest. This will ensure flavorful and tender pork on the plate.”

Lucky Pig in Ogden has ‘Best Tenderloin’ The Iowa Pork Producers Association honored an Iowa pig farmer and restaurant owner with Iowa’s Best Breaded Pork Tenderloin award for 2014.

The Lucky Pig Pub & Grill in Ogden is owned

by Craig and Carol Christensen, who also farm and raise hogs near Ogden.

The Christensens purchased the restaurant three years ago because it was dying and they believed the town needed a restaurant.

“I’m very, very happy because our restaurant crew works really hard to make a great product and it’s an excellent feeling to have all that hard work pay some dividends and know that people like what we’re doing,” said Craig Christensen after learning of the award. “Obvious-

ly, being a pork producer, I’ve traveled the state, the country and the world eating pork dishes, so my bar was set pretty high and I challenged our crew to develop something that was top notch.”

The Lucky Pig’s tenderloin sandwich is hand pounded in-house and double coated in a batter and bread crumb mixture.

It provides an ideal meat to bun ratio and features a unique spice for a one-ofa-kind flavor profile.

“Those of us who make up the final panel of judges didn’t know that the owner of the Lucky Pig Pub & Grill also raises pigs on a family farm in Ogden,” said Chef Phil Carey, final judge. “But it’s really no surprise that someone who raises the product also knows how to properly

The Christensens will receive $500, a plaque and statewide publicity for winning IPPA’s 12th annual contest. IPPA’s Restaurant and Foodservice Committee will make the official award presentation at the restaurant today.

Brick Street’s Butler Café in Bondurant came in second and will receive $250 and a plaque. Rounding out the top 6 finalists was TC’s Point After in Dewitt, B&S’s 529 in Carroll, Go Fish Marina Bar & Grill in Princeton and Menlo Café in Menlo.

These four restaurants will receive an honorable mention plaque to display in their restaurant.

The best breaded pork tenderloin contest brings a lot of attention to a Midwest favorite, but this year

‘Farmland’ documentary available on Hulu Academy Award-winning filmmaker James Moll’s feature length documentary “Farmland” can now be viewed on the free, ad-supported Hulu and Hulu Plus subscription service.

During its theatrical debut this year, “Farmland” was shown in more than 170 theaters across the country including Regal Cinemas, Marcus Theatres, Carmike Cinemas, Landmark Theatres and many key independent theaters. It will now be available digitally for the first time.

Many Americans have never stepped foot on a farm or ranch or even talked to the people who grow and raise the food we eat, yet are increasingly passionate about understanding where their food comes from.

“Farmland” takes the viewer inside the world of farming for a first-hand glimpse into the lives of six young farmers and ranchers in their twenties. Through the personal stories of these farmers and ranchers, viewers learn about their highrisk/high-reward jobs and passion for a way of life that has been passed down from generation to generation, yet continues to evolve.

“This is a film for anyone

who eats,” Moll said. “It’s not what you’d expect. The world of farming is complex and often controversial, but the farmers themselves are some of the most hard-working and fascinating people I’ve ever met.”

Produced by Moll’s Allentown Productions, “Farmland” received notable attention during its theatrical run securing reviews in several national mediums and recognition in film festivals across the country, including Atlanta, Cleveland and Newport Beach, Calif.

The film also earned a 92 percent audience rating on RottenTomatoes.com.

Pig farms rebound from virus; meat prices to drop (AP) — A virus that killed millions of baby pigs in the last year and led to higher pork prices has waned thanks to warmer weather and farmers’ efforts to sterilize their operations. And as pigs’ numbers increase, sticker shock on things like bacon should ease.

Already, hog supplies are on the rise, with 5.46 million baby pigs born between June and August in Iowa, the nation’s leading producer — the highest quarterly total in 20 years and a record 10.7 surviving pigs per litter, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report.

It’s a significant turnaround from a year ago when the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus was wiping out entire litters. Since the virus first showed up, the federal government rushed to give conditional approval for a vaccine and those in the industry began taking precautions, such as disinfecting trucks, equipment and clothing.

“We’ve gotten better at managing biosecurity and establishing health protocols,” said Greg Lear, a producer near Spencer, Iowa, who lost more than 800 baby pigs last December. “I think Mother Nature helped us with sunshine. It doesn’t like sunshine and warmer temperatures.”

It’s clear the industry is managing the virus, but it’s

Many in the industry are optimistic that the worst of the PED virus is behind them, but there is still concern among producers.

Dale Norton — a livestock farmer in Bronson, Michigan, and president of the National Pork Board Board — lost 1,500 piglets over 2½ weeks in March, but said his barns are now free of the virus.

“We know that going into the fall the risk with people hauling manure and the risk with it getting colder there’s a good potential we’ll have more,” he said.

There may be additional outbreaks, Norton said, but he doubts they’ll be as severe, since hog farmers have learned more about the virus and how it spreads and have taken precautions.

To peel or not to peel?

Dear Heloise: As a newlywed, my husband and I had recently moved to Texas. There was a roadside stand selling Fredericksburg PEACHES, so I pulled over and bought some gorgeous ones, excited to make my husband’s favorite dessert, peach cobbler.

Well, I had never made this dessert before. I found a recipe, followed it and was so proud of the beautiful cobbler I made. I couldn’t wait for my husband to try it. He took the first bite, looked at me and said, “I love you, but you do know you are supposed to peel the peaches first.” I had no idea! The recipe stated to use canned peaches. We still laugh about that cooking disaster 23 years later! -- Lauren W., via email Well, we’ve all been there.

How sweet that your husband said it that way! Folks, want to fess up to your kitchen “mistake or mishap and tell the world? Write to me and spill the beans. No full names printed, if you want. -- Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-

Hints from Heloise 5000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com FREEZING BUTTERMILK Dear Heloise: I have a problem. When I have a recipe that calls for ingredients I don’t have in the cupboard or refrigerator, I have to buy it. Buttermilk usually is in a quart carton. Once it is in my refrigerator, my dear husband worries about it having gone bad. What can I do with the surplus? Can it be frozen?

-- Arline R., via email How do you tell if buttermilk has gone bad? I’m really not sure! But tell your husband not to worry, because buttermilk can be frozen. Be sure to thaw it in the refrigerator. You will need to remix it after thawing, because the fat will separate from the rest of the milk. -- Heloise P.S.: They do sell powdered buttermilk.

No. 1 Harlan dispatches No. 12 Creston

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com Molina

National Digest 3-0 lead KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — In a perfect postseason for the Kansas City Royals, of course Mike Moustakas made that daring catch look so seamless.

Boosted by more sparkling defense, a dominant bullpen and another dose of small ball, suddenly the wild-card Royals are one win from the World Series.

Billy Butler drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning, and the Royals’ steel-curtain relief corps shut down the Baltimore Orioles the rest of the way for a 2-1 win Tuesday night and a commanding 3-0 lead in the AL Championship Series.

Moustakas made two marvelous plays at third base as Kansas City won its 10th straight postseason game, including all seven this year. With the Royals making their first playoff appearance in 29 years, the only thing that’s slowed them City so far was a rainout Monday.

The Royals will send Jason Vargas to the mound for Game 4 today, trying to advance to their first World Series since 1985.

Miguel Gonzalez will try to help the Orioles stave off elimination.

Error in 10th SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A wild pitch, a wide throw and an 18-inning marathon.

These playoff-tested Giants keep finding wacky ways to win in another special October.

An errant throw by reliever Randy Choate on a bunt allowed Brandon Crawford to score the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting San Francisco over the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 on Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in the NL Championship Series.

Crawford drew an eight-pitch walk from Choate to begin the inning, ending a stretch of 16 straight Giants retired since Tim Hudson’s twoout single in the fourth.

After failing on two sacrifice attempts, Juan Perez singled to bring up Blanco.

Blanco fouled off a bunt try, too, but then pushed one to the third-base side of the mound and the left-handed Choate’s side-arm throw sailed past lunging second baseman Kolten Wong, who was covering first base.

Randal Grichuk tied it with a solo homer in the seventh that chased Hudson.

Game 4 in the best-of-seven series is Wednesday night, with Ryan Vogelsong pitching for the Giants against fellow righty Shelby Miller.

Top-ranked and defending Class 4A state champion Harlan came into a packed Creston gymnasium here Tuesday and quickly deflated the No. 12 Panthers and their home crowd with a 2510, 25-9, 25-13 win.

“They are pretty good,” Creston head coach Polly Luther said after the quick loss. “We can’t play scared, though, against a team. We should have at least competed with them and we did not.”

Harlan quickly bolted to a 5-0 lead, punctuated by a Jess Schaben kill, forcing an early Panther timeout.

Creston came out of the timeout with a kill by Natalie Mostek, but the Cyclones built an 18-4 lead on a Mackenzie Swanson ace.

“Every match it’s important to get a good start, but Creston, they had a great crowd here and have a good ball club, so it’s important,” Harlan head coach Angie Spangenberg said.

“I thought we served aggressively and tried to take Creston out a little bit, as far as serve receive.”

CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER

Creston libero Jami Sickels receives a serve Tuesday night against top-ranked Harlan, while teammate Alyssa Higgins (15) looks on. The Cyclones swept Creston in three games.

Creston faced an uphill battle from the start, taking on the 27-2 Cyclones. But serve receive quickly became an issue for the Panthers, resulting in 11 aces for

the Cyclones, and numerous free balls to the Cyclone side of the court.

The Panthers, as a team, finished the night 23-of-57 on serve receive for a back-

breaking 40.3 percent.

“Our serve receive was a little rough, to say the least,” Luther said. “Hanna (Luther) put a lot of miles on tonight. We did have too

many free balls. I said to the girls at one point, ‘I haven’t seen a Harlan girl push a ball over yet. Everyone is swinging.’

“And that’s pretty key when you are competitive, is that people have to swing.

You have to give them at least a competitive ball that they have to deal with, and we didn’t do that too often.”

When the Panthers did get swings on the ball early in the match, they often went wide of the line or long out of bounds.

“Our hits have to be effective,” Luther said. “They, at the very minimum, have to be in play. It was a little rough.”

Mostek led the Panthers with seven kills, while Sydney Dunphy and Jenna Taylor were the only other Panthers with multiple kills, notching three and two, respectively. Hanna Luther recorded 13 setting assists.

By comparison, Schaben, an Iowa State volleyball recruit, led the Cyclones with 17 kills. Taylor Frederick smacked eight kills, while Elle Kloewer had six and Please see PANTHERS, page 13A

Wolverines ride the wave to POI title

NV 15-1 in last 16 matches

CNA staff writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

AFTON — None of the girls on the Nodaway Valley roster had ever played in the conference tournament semifinals before.

So, taking the Pride of Iowa championship here Tuesday night was a big step for the Wolverines.

Second-year coach Hannah West has seen her team on a 15-1 roll in recent weeks, falling only in the finals of the Guthrie Center Tournament last weekend.

That momentum carried over to an impressive revenge win over Bedford in the semifinals, 28-26, 25-16, 25-20 before holding off a scrappy Mount Ayr team in the finals, 23-25, 25-18, 2513, 25-23.

Mount Ayr was serving with a 23-22 lead in a quest to force a fifth set, but the Wolverines regained the upper hand for the 25-23 win as Katy Ehrsam served the final two points that featured a block and a kill by Emily Schildberg.

Back row, head coach Hannah West, Mackenzie Meisenheimer, Mercedes Harter, Sydney McElfish, Kenna Lundy, Josie Clarke, Jessica Nelson, Emily Schildberg, Paige McElfish and assistant coach Tina Phillippi.

“None of these girls have ever made it to the second night of the conference tournament, let alone win,” West said, “so this is a huge accomplishment for them. They battled hard and

worked together well. I am very proud of them!”

The Wolverines (18-10) had lost to Bedford (30-132) earlier in the season, but sailed to the sweep Tuesday after grinding out a 28-26

victory.

“The girls came in with one goal in mind, and they were not going to let anything or anyone stand in their way,” West said. “The girls came out fighting. We

are talking and moving as a unit, instead of just having six girls out there. They trust one another.”

Murray overcomes injury to advance

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

Randle arrested IRVING, Texas (AP) — Cowboys running back Joseph Randle has been arrested on a shoplifting charge, accused of taking $123 worth of cologne and underwear from a suburban Dallas department store and telling a police officer he thought to himself, “all right, y’all got me,” after a security guard stopped him.

Murray’s Madison Gonseth (2) hits a kill past Megan Roush of Melcher-Dallas during Tuesday’s Bluegrass Conference Tournament match at Murray. In two victories, Gonseth had a team-high 16 kills and four blocks.

The Lady Mustangs advanced to Thursday’s semifinal and championship round in Seymour.

MURRAY — The Murray volleyball team isn’t operating on all cylinders right now, but it was enough to sweep through two opponents here Tuesday to advance in the Bluegrass Conference Tournament.

The Lady Mustangs defeated Moulton-Udell 25-7, 25-15 and topped Melcher-Dallas 25-19, 2510 to advance to the conference semifinals and finals Thursday in Seymour.

Murray (18-6) will take on Moravia in the semifinals while top-seeded and sixth-ranked Grand View Christian faces Ankeny Christian Academy.

The Lady Mustangs were playing without star hitter Hannah Barber, who injured an ankle Saturday at the Martensdale-St. Marys

tournament. Coach Jerry Shields said her return is undetermined, but he wants her healthy for the second round of regionals, where his team could face conference rival Lamoni or an up-and-coming Mount Ayr team coached by his daughter, Tori Braby.

So, Murray’s journey to the conference semifinal round will likely not include their hard-hitting senior.

“We have played through a lot of adversity this year with kids being hurt and what not,” Shields said. “Madison Gonseth was out two or three weeks with the same kind of ankle injury. I want her healthy for the regionals, if not the first round then the second.”

Picking up the slack were Gonseth with 16 kills and four blocks. Jade Lecy had 10 kills and Shelby Myers had nine. Filling in

for Barber, Kayla Siefkas chipped in five kills.

L e c y was also sharp at the service line, going 1818 with t h r e e a c e s . Lecy Gonseth also had three aces while serving 11-12.

“Jade and Madison had a nice night for us at the net and serving,” Shields said. “We’re going to have to rely on those two and Shelby Myers at the net for while. Kayla did a good job replacing Hannah tonight.”

Brandi Gilbert was 6468 setting with 34 assists.

Mount Ayr won the opening set, then fell behind 2-1 and had an opportunity to force a fifth-set tiebreaker in leading 9-5 early in the fourth.

“We definitely wanted to go five,” Mount Ayr coach Tori Braby said. “We knew that we’ve been playing well in our fifth games lately. I was confident in our girls if we could just get to that fifth game.”

West called a timeout to settle down her squad and slow some of the Raiderettes’ momentum. Soon Nodaway Valley was ahead 17-11 on a six-serve string by Josie Carter.

“I was stressing not to lose our focus,” West said. “We want to play to win, not play not to lose. We want to make sure we’re always pushing as hard as we can. Make sure we are determined to be the most aggressive team out there.”

Mount Ayr (17-13) fought back, though, to go ahead 1918, and from there it was tight down the stretch in front of a boisterous crowd from both schools. Every point was followed by a loud reaction from one side of the East Union gym or the other.

“The whole gym was full of energy,” West said. “Volleyball is such a game of momentum. If you get momentum on your side, funny things happen.”

Likewise, Braby was thankful for the strong support of the Raiderettes Tuesday.

“That’s the most people I’ve seen at a volleyball game in a long time,” Braby said.

“Our crowd has been helping us out here in the last couple of weeks. I could not have asked for a better night and harder play out of the girls tonight. They definitely played their hearts out.”

Braby had to do some lineup shuffling in the middle of the championship match when setter Macy Larsen went down hard and suffered an undetermined knee injury.

“Shelbie Greene stepped in and did a great job in her spot,” Braby said. “Shelbie is someone we call on to come in for all kinds of random spots for us, and she does a good job.”

Mount Ayr’s Kelcie Shields had a huge match against Central Decatur with 19 kills and 14-of-15 serving with

Taylor Wagner finished with five.

“We have played so much better than this,” Luther said. “I understand that Harlan is the No. 1-ranked team, and I understand they’re probably worthy of that ranking. We did not even let them show that tonight. We played super conservative. We didn’t do the things we needed to do to even compete with them.”

Creston fell to 15-5 for the season with the loss and dropped to 6-3 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference for third place. The Panthers return to action Saturday at the Winterset tournament.

“We lacked mental toughness tonight,” Creston JV coach Jessie McClellan said.

25-6, 25-8, 15-12.

Mykenna Hribal served 7-8, while Faith Wilson finished 4-4. Kiersten Latham served 4-6 and Alexis Baker and Makayla Davis each served 3-4.

serve receiving were Siefkas and McKenzie Case.

Shields says the presence of Gonseth and Lecy at the net will still give the Lady Mustangs a shot Thursday.

“Two 6-footers at the

net, they may not get a lot of blocks, but they get a lot of hands on balls to slow them down,” Shields said.

“Jade had a good night out of the middle tonight. We just have to play good defense.”

Murray opens regional tournament play Oct. 21 at home against Diagonal.

Dallas nurses cite sloppy conditions in Ebola care few” nurses, but she refused repeated inquiries to state how many. She said the organization had vetted the claims, and that the nurses cited were in a position to know what had occurred at the hospital. She did not specify whether they were among the nurses caring for Duncan.

The nurses allege that his lab samples were allowed to travel through the hospital’s pneumatic tubes, possibly risking contaminating of the specimen-delivery system.

They also said that hazardous waste was allowed to pile up to the ceiling.

Wendell Watson, a Presbyterian spokesman, did not respond to specific claims by the nurses but said the hospital has not received similar complaints.

“Patient and employee safety is our greatest priority, and we take compliance very seriously,” he said in a statement. He said the hospital would “review and respond to any concerns raised by our nurses and all employees.”

The nurses’ statement said they had to “interact with Mr. Duncan with whatever protective equipment was available,” even as he produced “a lot of contagious fluids.” Duncan’s medical records underscore that concern. They also say nurses treating Duncan were also caring for other patients in the hospital and that, in the face of constantly shifting guidelines, they were allowed to follow whichever ones they chose.

When Ebola was suspected but unconfirmed, a doctor wrote that use of disposable shoe covers should also be considered. At that point, by all protocols, shoe covers should have been mandatory to prevent anyone from tracking contagious body fluids around the hospital.

A few days later, however, entries in the hospital charts suggest that protection was improving.

“RN entered room in Tyvek suits, triple gloves, triple boots, and respirator cap in place,” a nurse wrote.

The Presbyterian nurses are not represented by Nurses United or any other union. DeMoro and Burger said the nurses claimed they had been warned by the hospital not to speak to reporters or they would be fired.

The AP has attempted since last week to contact dozens of individuals involved in Duncan’s care.

Those who responded to reporters’ inquiries have so far been unwilling to speak.

CDC officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

DALLAS (AP) — A Liberian Ebola patient was left in an open area of a Dallas emergency room for hours, and nurses treating him worked without proper protective gear and faced constantly changing protocols, according to a statement released by the nation’s largest nurses’ union.

Among those nurses was Nina Pham, 26, who has been hospitalized since Friday after catching Ebola while caring for Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person diagnosed with the virus in the U.S. He died last week.

Public-health authorities announced Wednesday that a second Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital health care worker had tested positive for Ebola, raising more questions about whether American hospitals and their staffs are adequately prepared to contain the virus.

The CDC has said some breach of protocol probably sickened Pham, but National Nurses United contends the protocols were either non-existent or changed constantly after Duncan arrived in the emergency room by ambulance on Sept.

28.

Medical records provided to The Associated Press by Duncan’s family show that Pham helped care for him throughout his hospital stay, including the day he arrived in intensive care with diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and the day before he died.

When Pham’s mother learned she was caring for Duncan, she tried to reassure her that she would be safe.

Pham told her: “Mom, no. Don’t worry about me,” family friend Christina Tran told The Associated Press.

Duncan’s medical records make numerous mentions of protective gear worn by hospital staff, and Pham herself notes wearing the gear in visits to Duncan’s room. But there is no indication in the records of her first encounter with Duncan, on Sept.

29, that Pham donned any protective gear.

Deborah Burger of National Nurses United, who convened a conference call with reporters to relay what she said were concerns of nurses at the hospital, said they were forced to use medical tape to secure openings in their flimsy garments and worried that their necks and heads were exposed as they cared for Duncan.

RoseAnn DeMoro, executive director of Nurses United, said the statement came from “several” and “a
