Government shutdown: Day 16

CNA staff reporter

WASHINGTON — The nation is now one day away from a potentially disastrous default as the partial government shutdown enters its 16th day.

A frantic day of legislative maneuvering ended in futility for Speaker John A. Boehner on Tuesday, as the most conservative members of the House refused to back his proposed compromise to end the standoff over the federal budget.

The failure leaves a bipartisan Senate plan Boehner negotiated by Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., as the sole way out of a stalemate that risks a U.S. default on its bills and huge economic disruptions.

n the organized clutter that fills the basement of Walters Custom Sign in Creston, the walls are plastered with old bits of artwork, partially completed projects, newspaper clippings and pictures.

Owner Harry Walters spends most of his days in the basement piecing together his artwork to the sound of old westerns playing on a small television in the corner of the makeshift studio.

But most of the artwork lining the walls in Harry’s basement is not his own. Most of it would preferably be in a dumpster if the original artist had his way.

“There are some old pictures he threw in the trash and I dug them out,” Harry said. “They were in the dumpster behind my house. I think they are great. So I hung them up, but he always says to get them off the wall.”

Chancy Walters, 29, has traveled all over the United States — mostly throughout the Midwest and Alaska — selling his artwork while living a free-spirited lifestyle to gain inspiration for his next project.

He has used his talent with acrylic paints to fuel his passion for life in the outdoors — hunting, fishing and constantly searching for another rush of adrenaline.

“My life has been so 100 miles per hour with different things I have been doing,” Chancy said.

Harry said as parents, he and his wife Jennifer have always encouraged Chancy and his sister to pursue what they love to do. While a daily eight-hour job would be more conventional, Harry is happy his kids haven’t settled on a job they are not passionate about.

“I’ve been getting by, but

Chancy Walters got this big Tom turkey with a new hunting style he calls turkey reaping. He uses a hand-held decoy to get as close as possible to his target.

He also uses the feathers from his trophy kill for his artwork.

I want to get more than by,” Chancy said. “I’m building myself to where I can maybe do this for a living. You’ve got to just get by to make it happen sometimes.”

Starting out

A 2003 graduate of Creston High School, Chancy was not immediately drawn to a career as an artist.

“I’ve always drew my whole life, but I got my art talent from my dad, it’s all genetic,” Chancy said.

But Chancy feared that signing up for art meant he would be restricted to drawing what the teacher wanted, not Stephens what inspired him.

“When you are teaching visual arts, you get to know the students and what their passions are,” said Chancy’s CHS art teacher Jacque Stephens. “He needed to get this wildlife out. It was really, truly a part of what he was.”

Stephens said Chancy excelled at two-dimensional artwork and enjoyed working with color. She also said his sense of

Turkey reapers evolve into a new way to hunt

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA staff reporter jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

Laying on his stomach in the middle of an open field, Creston-native Chancy Walters moved with stealth behind a hand-held turkey decoy.

He didn’t know if the unconventional hunting strategy would work until the Tom turkey took notice of the moving decoy and charged at Walters.

“The rush is completely on another level,” Walters said. “You actually become a turkey. It’s a crazy turkey-hunting style.”

Walters fired, killing his target, but giving life to a new way to hunt.

ness partners Jeremy McCarty and Cody Bisher are working with sporting networks to turn “turkey reaping” into a hunting show on the Outdoor channel.

The trio has released some footage to preview on YouTube and built a Turkey Reapers fan page on Facebook. Walters said the early buzz has been positive.

“It’s fun, it’s something different and that’s the key,” Walters said.

“There are so many hunting shows with so many people hunting the same way.”

Using small cameras attached to the decoy, the gun and sometimes the hunter, Walters and

“It’s dark through that area,” said Creston Public Works Director Kevin Kruse. “A homeowner requested we put a light there, and it needs one.”

Kruse Kruse said the new light will be installed “in the next couple weeks.”

In other city news, Creston’s lighted Christmas parade is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 5.

UI law school may decrease tuition IOWA CITY (MCT) — Tuition rates at Iowa’s three regent universities in the 2014-2015 academic year could remain flat for undergraduate residents, increase for non-resident and graduate students and decrease for one group of pupils.

According to a tuition proposal scheduled to go before the Iowa Board of Regents next week, the University of Iowa College of Law is asking to reduce tuition rates for students interested in several

of its programs.

For the law school’s nonresident Juris Doctor applicants, for example, the proposal would drop tuition from $47,252 to $39,500 in the fall of 2014.

The decrease aims to offset national and regional trends that have had an adverse affect on the law school applicant pool, according to regent documents.

humor and dependability made him a joy to have in the classroom.

“Wildlife is 100 percent what I love to paint,” Chancy said. “If I am going to paint something that isn’t a commission piece, I am going to paint deer, ducks and turkeys.”

Art class also fit in with Chancy’s free spirit. While Stephens required her students to follow a schedule, they were allowed to work at their own pace so projects were not rushed. She also allowed students to stay late after school to work.

What stood out most about Chancy’s character to Stephens was when her son needed to catch a frog for a contest.

“I didn’t have time to go get a frog and was busy with school,” Stephens said.

“When we came home, there was a big five-gallon bucket on our patio with a screen on top of it.”

Chancy had gone out after class and captured a bullfrog for Stephen’s son.

“I don’t think he has an enemy in the world,” Stephens said. “He is what he is; just a really good person.

I am so glad I had a chance to know him.”

Stephens still uses a mousepad with a print of Chancy’s artwork he gave her as a gift in high school.

Feather artwork Since Chancy’s artwork typically involves a wildlife theme, it is no surprise his most popular pieces have involved whitetail deer and turkeys.

But thanks to a tip from Creston-native and family friend John Harper, wildlife is not only Chancy’s main theme, it is also the main medium he paints on.

“He called me out to his house one day and he is like, ‘you know what, I’ve got a good idea for you

CORNING — The Iowa Paranormal Advanced Research Team (IPART), a paranormal research organization dedicated to investigating ordinary or unexplained phenomenon, will give a presentation 7:30 p.m. Oct. 25, at Corning Opera House Cultural Center, 800 Davis Ave. IPART is a group of professional men and women from all walks of life who share a common passion for paranormal investigation.

Correction

A photo on page 2 of Tuesday’s Creston News Advertiser misidentified a singer. Shown with Maci Webb is Anthony Harris during the Creston Elementary School’s secondgrade music concert Monday.

As he begins to focus his career and build partnerships, Chancy said he doesn’t regret or dwell on his past and has enjoyed each experience because he has gotten to grow through trial and error.

“I love what I am doing, but I am not living the dream,” Chancy said. “Living the dream is doing what I’m doing and having a lot of money. Money is not everything, but to do the things I love to do, I have to have a certain amount of money.”

his partners are able to get up close footage of the birds in action.

“Of course, you’ve got to be safe,” Walters said. “It has to be in an open area.”

While the details of a possible hunting show are in the works, Walters is able to use the trophies taken during turkey hunts and repurpose the feathers for his artwork.

Life in the outdoors, hunting and traveling through the Midwest and Alaska, has inspired Walters’ painting and helped him make connections with a wide variety of business owners.

“Being around it (wildlife) really helps you get dialed in,” Walters said. “You’re there and you can feel it. It helps you paint better.”

While turkey hunting may evolve into a business opportunity, Walters has avoided making hunting tours and guided fishing trips his main career focal point.

Walters said hunting and fishing are his chance to get away and to spend time with friends. He did not want to taint the joys of hunting with the stress of business.

“It’s just something I love, but I don’t want to get into that (guided hunts),” Walters said.

For $7 at the door or $5 advance tickets, a presentation will be given on how a search is conducted, tools used and stories of places the team(s) have been. Their mission is to investigate to find any possible reasonable and logical explanations for any activity that is presumed to be paranormal or unexplained in nature.

After the 7:30 p.m. presentation will be a boot camp.

Ten individuals who pay $75 and bring a digital camera

will explore the paranormal in the opera house late into the evening. The training will include safety, reasons to investigate, types of investigations, etiquette, equipment, dealing with clients and analyzing evidence. These people will receive a training manual and certificate stating they are professional investigators upon completion.

For more information about the team, visit their

website at www.diepart.com.

Tickets may be purchased at Adams Community Chamber, State Bank of Brooks or by calling Corning Opera House at 641-4188037.

“Since he is a local artist, there is a lot of interest in his work.”

Chancy has sold more than 5,000 turkey feather paintings. He said he is also working on larger pieces on canvas.

“It’s funny how it works sometimes,” Chancy said.

“I’ve been blessed to run into a lot of different things in my life. It is because of my artwork. I am getting better at taking advantage of the opportunity when it comes to me.”

Chancy,’” Chancy said. “He collects a lot of turkey hunting stuff. He was painting on the feathers just messing around.”

Chancy has traveled all over the Midwest promoting his feather artwork. He said he has been asked to paint everything from wildlife and aquatic animals to football logos and water towers.

“My favorite is when he is doing his turkeys,” Harry said. “He makes the colors shine just like when a turkey walks.”

He can turn out a complete feather in an hour. If he is drawing several feathers of the same subject — like a rooster pheasant — Chancy creates a solo assembly line so he already has the correct color of paints ready to use.

“I have to clear coat them,” Chancy said. “If you paint a feather and you don’t clear coat it, it just spreads apart and you can’t get the paint to stick.”

Most of Chancy’s feathers are $125 with glass and frame.

Over the years, Chancy has donated feathers and prints to various organizations for auction items at fundraisers. Two of his favorite programs are Kenai Sports in Alaska and High Lakes Outdoor Alliance (HLOA) in Creston.

OPINION

Try to give what you say the meaning it deserves The last thing I said was “be careful.”

As I go through the growing pains as a first-year cross country coach at SWCC, I know some days will be better than others.

I have helped runners battle through injuries, harped on the importance of going to class and tried to tow the line between a coach and a friend. Being so close to the same age as more of the kids on the team, the last point often proves to be most difficult.

As a coach, I want to get the best out of my athletes every day. I want them to do all the little things like get to bed early, eat right and turn their homework in on time.

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham staff writer

As a recent graduate and former runner, I want my runners to live the college experience to the fullest, make a lot of friends and continue their education as student athletes.

But no coaching book or role model in my life could have prepared me for Thursday afternoon.

It was a beautiful, warm, fall day.

Head coach Bill Huntington and I

decided to run practice at Green Valley Lake.

The men completed 16, 400-meter repeats and the women 10.

As I sent them home for the evening, like I have done every day since August, I added “be careful.”

Even though I meant it, I had said it so often that I forgot to give the simple words any meaning by the tone of my voice.

On their way back, three athletes were in a vehicle that broke through the railing and crashed into the spillway on 140th Street.

As I rolled up to the accident scene, my heart sank, but I knew my athletes needed my help, so emotions were put on hold, and I

went to work as any other coach would.

The next four hours were a blur.

I want to give big thanks to the Greater Regional Medical Center paramedics and nurses, Union County Sheriff’s Department, Creston Police and Creston Fire Department for their quick response and effective strategy to get everyone the help they needed.

Also, a big thanks goes to coach Huntington. I’m not sure exactly when he arrived at the scene — he had gone to coach track practice — but I do know he helped at the accident site, was up most of the night in Des Moines and up early

the next day to keep everyone comfortable and calm.

If he was stressed or upset, he never let his face or voice show it.

He was my rock while I tried to be strong and supportive for the rest of the team.

Accidents happen. Thankfully everyone involved is safe and recovering. But the situation is still a valuable reminder, proving that life is short and unpredictable.

I am doing my best not to halfheartedly say “be careful” to an athlete or “I love you” to a family member. The words we say are only as good as the meaning we put into them.

Letter to the editor

Facts about the new health care act From Monica McCarthy, Union County chairperson of the Iowa Democratic party Creston

Let’s discuss a few facts regarding the new health care act. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), or Affordable Care Act (ACA) for short, is the new health care reform law in America. It is often called by its nickname “Obamacare.”

Obamacare offers you and your family many new benefits, rights and protections. This new law is very extensive, so we will summarize a few highlights below.

Better benefits for Seniors: America’s new health strengthens and protects the Medicare you have earned. There are also new important benefits such as FREE annual wellness visits, flu shots and other preventative health care services.

These are at NO COST to you. The so-called “doughnut hole” is fading away.

Preventive Benefits for Women: Insurance companies are now required to provide – at no cost – mammograms, pap smears, bone mass measurements and other preventative care. It is law that insurance companies cannot charge a woman more than men for the same coverage.

Coverage for Young Americans:

Young people can stay under their parent’s insurance until age 26. Already, young Americans are benefitting from immunizations and cancer screenings.

There are no caps or limits on your lifetime coverage. If you get sick, your insurance company cannot cancel your coverage. You cannot be denied coverage due to preexisting conditions.

With “Obamacare” you can now rely on quality, affordable health care insurance to add to your personal financial security. Cost assistance is available in the marketplace for low to moderate income Americans. According to the Des Moines Register, lowans are able to buy health insurance with some of the lowest premiums in the country.

Be patient when signing up for coverage, as this is very popular.

Some websites are busy or overloaded but in due time these issues will be resolved. Then you can have the peace of mind that you and your family will have the necessary health insurance coverage when needed.

Medicare important dates: Oct. 15 – Open enrollment begins Dec. 7 – Open enrollments ends Jan. 1 – Coverage begins For a thorough explanation law and answers to questions, go to: www.obamacarefacts.com.

President Obama refused an offer from Republicans HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Vatican was red-faced Friday when six thousand commemorative Vatican coins misspelled Jesus Christ’s name as Lesus Christ.

How is that possible? It’s a name that is proclaimed all over the world on Sundays, about every ten times Tony Romo throws a pass.

President Obama refused an offer from Republicans during the debt extension talks Monday and demanded an end to sequester spending cuts. The U.S. government is like the optimist three seconds after he fell off a skyscraper.

His only thought is, so far, so good.

President Obama ordered Joe Biden to negotiate with Congress and save the country from default Tuesday. The president didn’t want to be seen as flexible. The next day the Washington Redskins dropped Washington from their name because it was too embarrassing.

The Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins primetime game on Sunday night drew a sellout crowd in Dallas plus huge TV ratings for NBC. They say that football is a substitute that satisfies our lust for war. And then to be safe we also have a bunch of wars.

Peyton Manning led the Denver Broncos to their sixth consecutive win Sunday over Jacksonville. He can do no wrong. On the other hand, Eli Manning threw up after

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

his team’s sixth consecutive loss Thursday and the toilet returned it forty yards for a touchdown.

India’s eastern coast was clobbered by Tropical Cycone Phailin on Saturday causing power blackouts throughout South Asia. Much of India lost its electricity and its phone service. The storm left over three hundred million Americans without tech support.

The Nobel Prize for Economics was awarded to three U.S. economists Friday. Reaction was swift.

When world leaders heard that the Nobel Prize for Economics went to three Americans, they issued a coach’s challenge and demanded that the judges review the tapes.

Nissan introduced its driverless car Friday which can drive, change lanes, brake and park all by itself.

They’ll be sold in six years. However, California law will still require the driver to sit behind the steering wheel with one hand on his iPhone and one on his gun.

Los Angeles was hit by an early cold front Friday, throwing the city into early sweater weather. We had to adjust. When it gets cold in L.A., citrus trees are covered in plastic,

homeless shelters are given extra blankets, and Charlie Sheen sleeps with an extra hooker.

Alaskan snowmobile daredevil Ricky Coffman broke the world speed record Sunday, reaching one hundred and six miles an hour. The record was set on water. The snowmobiler credited three factors, a turbocharged engine, a lousy GPS system, and beer.

Detroit former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was sentenced to twenty-six years in prison Friday for crimes of graft and corruption. He caught a break at his sentencing.

The judge ruled that the number of years Kilpatrick lived in Detroit will count as time already served.

A WalMart in Louisiana was bought out by food stamp recipents when the EBT debit card limits got accidentally erased by a computer glitch Sunday. It was an urban crowd. At the the end of the day, the only thing left on the shelves were all the country music CD’s Canadians observed Canada’s Thanksgiving Day Monday the day that the U.S. marked Columbus Day. Canada has health care and a working government.

The brain is divided into two parts, the half that demands satisfaction of every impulse and the other half that controls every impulse, and apparently North America is divided along the same lines.

National Digest

Cards up 3-1 LOS ANGELES — Thanks to two big swings and some excellent defense, the St. Louis Cardinals are one win from the World Series.

Just like last year.

Matt Holliday and pinch-hitter Shane Robinson connected for the first home runs of the NL championship series, sending St. Louis past the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 Tuesday night for a 3-1 lead in their bestof-seven playoff.

In a series starved for offense, the Cardinals scored as many runs as they did in the first three games combined, when the teams totaled nine.

Game 5 is this afternoon at Dodger Stadium, with the Cardinals looking to clinch their 19th pennant. Zack Greinke is set to start for Los Angeles against Joe Kelly.

Of course, St. Louis had a 3-1 lead in last year’s NLCS before dropping three straight to San Francisco, the eventual World Series champion.

Sox win DETROIT — Mike Napoli broke a scoreless tie with a solo home run off Justin Verlander in the seventh inning, and John Lackey and the Boston bullpen made the blast stand up in a 1-0 Game 3 squeaker that gave the Red Sox the upper hand in this best-of-seven set.

The Red Sox had mustered a mere three hits and one run for the series entering the eighth inning of Sunday’s Game 2, when David Ortiz brought Boston back to life with a game-tying grand slam and the AL East champs rallied for a thrilling 6-5 win.

They managed only four hits and struck out 10 times in eight innings against Verlander (0-1), but shut down a Detroit lineup that continually failed in the clutch to take a 2-1 series lead heading to Wednesday’s Game 4.

Lackey (1-0) was splendid during his 6 2/3-inning stint, holding the Tigers to four hits and striking out eight without a walk. Three relievers finished off the shutout, with Game 2 winner Koji Uehara shutting the door with a four-out save.

Soccer win PANAMA CITY, Panama — Panama was about 90 seconds from beating the United States and advancing to a playoff against New Zealand for a World Cup berth.

The fans at Estadio Rommel Fernandez in Panama City were ready to start a nationwide celebration. And then the Americans stunned an entire country. Graham Zusi and Aron Johannsson scored in secondhalf stoppage time, and the United States rallied for a 3-2 win that left Mexico’s World Cup hopes alive.

HARLAN — If it’s any consolation, Creston is in pretty lofty company lately in taking a loss to Harlan’s top-ranked volleyball team.

The Cyclones, ranked No. 1 in Class 4A at 26-3, improved to 8-0 in Hawkeye 10 play with a 25-7, 2512, 25-9 victory over the Panthers Tuesday night.

The quick victory came three days after the Cyclones ran nearly unscathed through the rugged Western Christian Invitational. In the championship match there, Harlan topped Class 2A secondranked Western Christian, 21-16, 21-17, to avenge a 2-0 loss in pool play.

In that event, the Cyclones swept the likes of Class 3A top-ranked MOC-Floyd Valley, Class 3A No. 8 Unity Christian and Class 4A eighthranked Sioux City Bishop Heelan.

The Cyclones, led by Iowa State verbal commit Jess Schaben, seem poised for a serious state championship run.

“I think if they keep their heads screwed on, yes, they c o u l d win the championship,” said Creston coach Polly Luther. “But Luther

tonight, it’s hard to tell you, because we played so bad.”

Nobody reached double figures in kills for the Panthers, who were led by Natalie Mostek’s seven.

She also had three s o l o Mostek blocks.

Six Panthers were perfect at the service line, but there was only one ace by Mostek. Jami Sickels and Alli Thomsen were the dig leaders with three.

“It was disappointing,

because we didn’t even really get a chance to see the real Harlan because we weren’t playing well,” Luther said. “Even if you lose to a team like that, it’s fun to go out and see if you can compete and challenge them. We did not do that tonight.”

Harlan is at the top of the heap in a conference that includes five rated teams.

The Panthers slipped to 10-10 overall and remain in eighth place in the league at 2-7 as DenisonSchleswig fell to 1-8 with a loss to St. Albert, one of those rated teams.

Schaben’s aggressive service has been clocked

at 42 mph on radar. She was tough again Tuesday at 9-of-9 with two aces, but teammate Elle Kloewer had a team-high five aces.

Schaben smacked a team-high 14 kills and Kloewer had eight. Setter Kenzie Swanson had 32 assists and served 16-16.

The Harlan defense had 33 digs, topped by Kloewer’s seven.

“Schaben is legit, and they have several hitters who swing hard, and their passing is good,” Luther said.

On Saturday the Panthers travel to the Winterset tournament, and Luther said she will be

Harlan swept the Creston junior varsity Tuesday, 2514, 25-15.

Sydney Dunphy had four kills for the Panthers.

“We looked pretty sluggish,” said Creston coach Jessie McClellan. “We can’t play like we did tonight against teams like Harlan.

They’re a solid program and it was good for us to see that level of play. With our best effort, we could have definitely competed with them.

All we can do is get in the gym and work tomorrow.”

Freshmen The Harlan freshmen defeated Creston Tuesday 2514, 25-17, 25-8, 25-13.

“They have a pretty good freshman team in Harlan,” Creston coach Mike McCabe said. “We competed well in spurts, just not consistent enough.”

Timberwolves second, Eagles third at POI Tourney

TRURO — After game one of the Pride of Iowa Conference Tournament championship match here Tuesday, it looked like Southwest Valley might roll to the conference championship.

The Timberwolves had quickly dispatched East Union in the semifinals and won the opening game of the championship match 25-14 over Martensdale-St. Marys.

But the Class 1A 14thranked Blue Devils bounced back and took the next three games, 25-18, 25-22, 2521, earning the conference championship.

“The difference was our hitting percentage in game one was .458 and we kind of just went down from there in games two, three and four,” Southwest Valley head coach Lindsay Wetzel said. “That makes a big difference. When we’re attacking, we’re doing better and when we’re making a lot of hitting errors, we’re not doing so well.”

The pivotal point of the match came in game three, as the two teams were knotted at one game apiece.

Martensdale-St. Marys built a 10-4 lead and later led 14-8 and 15-10.

Southwest Valley cut that lead to 15-14 before a Martensdale-St. Marys timeout.

The two teams went back and forth for the remainder of the game, but every time Southwest Valley seemed to grab momentum, the Timberwolves would miss a serve, handing MartensdaleSt. Marys a point and the serve back.

The Timberwolves tied the game at 17-17 and 1818, and later at 20-20, 21-21 and 22-22. But missed serves proved to be the team’s demise in the second game, as the Blue Devils hung on for

a 25-22 win.

“Every time we miss a serve, it’s an easy point for the other side,” Wetzel said.

“They didn’t have to do anything to earn it. It was a mental mistake on our part. We missed six serves in game three and the score was 25-22, so you take six away from them and add it on to ours, it makes a difference in the ballgame.

“Serving is a mental game,” she continued. “We do it every single day in practice, so that’s frustrating when we could have had game three there and could have gone up two sets to

one. But you’re not going to do it missing six serves against a team like Martensdale.”

Southwest Valley had its opportunities in the fourth game of the match, as well.

The Timberwolves built a 13-5 lead on the strength of Marie Palmer’s play early Palmer in the game.

But, that lead quickly dwindled with Nicole Shutt

serving for Martensdale.

The Blue Devils eventually fought back to make it a 1615 game, and after falling down 19-17, fought back to take a 20-19 lead.

Southwest Valley evened the score at 20-20, but the Blue Devils outscored the Timberwolves 5-1 to finish the game and the match.

“The girls fought hard,” Wetzel said. “Second place is nothing to hang our heads about. We haven’t made it to Tuesday since I’ve been coaching, so that was our first goal. We’ll learn from it and move on to regionals.”

Third place East Union, after a semifinal loss to Southwest Valley, took on Bedford in the third place match.

The Eagles quickly bolted to a 2-0 lead in games, thanks to a 25-18 win in game one and a 27-25 win in game two.

But Bedford battled back to take a 25-23 win in game three and won game four by a score of 25-17, forcing a fifth and final game to 15.

to a 13-13 tie in the fifth game, when East Union’s Katlin Weinkoetz quickly dumped it over the net to give East Union a 14-13 lead.

On the ensuing serve receive, Bedford hit the ball into the net, and failed to get it over, giving the Eagles third place in the Pride of Iowa Conference.

“It’s honestly a reward to be third in our conference,” East Union head coach Gail Thatcher said.

“Our conference is tough.

We have a lot of stiff competition, and I felt like we were blessed to be here tonight. We’ve struggled some. Really pleased with the ending.”

Thatcher was pleased to get back to the Tuesday night matches in the conference tournament, given the amount of talent lost from last year’s team.

“It makes me very happy,” she said. “These girls have worked harder than any team I’ve had in prob-

ably the last five years.

Last year, we played on the talent. We worked hard, but these girls really had to work hard and have a gut check, and go after things and play sometimes above our game just to get through.”

Semifinals Southwest Valley cruised to a sweep of East Union in the semifinals, winning 25-12, 25-9, 25-18.

“We came out nice against East Union and attacked right away,” Wetzel said. “We were serving well, we were being scrappy, we were passing, so overall we had good consistent play against East Union.”

Solid choices for playoff decisions in college football

By CHUCK CARLTON Dallas Morning News

The College Football Playoff folks could probably drive Condoleezza Rice over to where Texas Stadium stood and have her pose in a three-point stance Wednesday and not silence every critic.

The world officially learns the identity of the selection committee for the first major-college playoff in 2014, although the names became common knowledge last week through media reports.

Rice, the former Secretary of State under President George W. Bush, immediately became the focal point for people with concerns with the committee.

“All she knows about football is what somebody told her, or what she read in a book, or what she saw on television,” former Auburn coach Pat Dye told Birmingham, Ala., radio station WJOX last week. “To understand football, you’ve got to play with your hand in the dirt.”

ESPN’s David Pollack questioned Rice’s qualifications as well and was called out by Fox’s Erin Andrews.

Point/counterpoint anybody?

Bottom line: Rice, with a Ph. D in political science, decades of experience in world diplomacy and a lifelong love of football, is perfectly qualified. The committee duties don’t include formulating a Saban-esque game plan for the title game.

It’s about picking the top four teams in the country and utilizing the criteria, not whether an O-lineman is vulnerable to a bull rush.

The playoff has already spelled out what the committee will look at in broad terms: conference championships, strength of schedule, head-to-head competition and results against common opponents (without incentivizing margin of victory). Injuries will be considered, too.

Even this week, Texas coach Mack Brown was making a case to strongly emphasize strength of schedule “so we can go back and see great teams play each other out of conference across the country.”

Would it DISTRICT really have an IN THE IOWA COURT FOR UNION COUNTY impact?

Current Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby also was praised for overseeing the selection of teams for March Madness, and he spent Midwest winters engaged in another sport.

Occasionally, that former college wrestler would pose a question to the basketball guys who were sparring over

a handful of teams: Which one would you least like to the face in the tournament?

Good people ask smart questions and get solutions.

Barring any surprises Wednesday, the committee composition looks solid. Maybe another former coach wouldn’t be bad. R.C. Slocum would have been a good choice, and he would

have provided a Texan on the committee, which is a bit of an omission.

Still, the goal is about getting the four teams right in Year One — and the committee looks like a good start.

ISU looking for ways to slow down Baylor Iowa notes: Injury update,

By JIM NELSON ished. year.” probably will not be availnext visit to Ohio is ...?

Among the highlights It might come down to able,” Rhoads said.

Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier

AMES — Last Saturday, Iowa State faced an offensive football team in Texas Tech that many consider prolific in nature.

This Saturday, the Cyclones (1-4 overall, 0-2 Big 12) face a team that averages 715.4 yards and 63.4 points per game, which is 171 yards and 21.6 more points than the Red Raiders average.

In its first four games, 12th-ranked Baylor (5-0, 2-0) scored 69, 70, 70 and 73 before being its 35-25 win over Kansas State last weekend.

Based on those numbers, prolific hardly does justice to the offense Iowa State will face at Floyd Casey Stadium at 6 p.m. Saturday.

“We’re very sober in the offices this week and working hard to try to figure out answers to slow these guys down as well as put up as many points on the board as we are going to need to win this football game,” Cyclone head coach Paul Rhoads said.

Rhoads opened his weekly press conference Monday with a long list of Baylor’s impressive Rhoads offensive numbers and had to pause to catch his breath before he fin-

were six players with runs of 22 yards or longer, a quarterback in Brock Petty who has completed 70 percent of his passes (80 of 114) with only one interception, and eight receivers who have catches of 36 or longer.

“It is a great challenge, a team like Baylor, that is why you come to the Big 12 is to face offenses like that and try to find solutions to powerhouse offense like theirs,” ISU linebacker Luke Knott said.

ISU has been hit or miss defending Baylor in the last two meetings. Two years ago, Robert Griffin and Terrance Ganaway gashed the Cyclones for 603 total yards in a 49-26 victory in Waco.

Last year, ISU forced four turnovers and held Lache Seastrunk, who ranks ninth in the country this year with 128.6 rushing yards per game, to 30 yards on seven carries as the Cyclones won, 35-21, in Ames.

“We defended the run very well, and every game starts with defending the run coming from an old defensive coach’s perspective,” Rhoads said. “We didn’t do that Saturday against Texas Tech, a team that got over double what they are averaging on the ground.

“But it (the key to beating Baylor last year) started there and taking that away we were able to play one of our best defensive games of the year last

trying to stopping one aspect of Baylor’s offense again Saturday.

“We’ve been here since Sunday trying to figure that out and to be honest we haven’t made any decisions on what we are going to do yet,” defensive coordinator Wally Burnham said. “We know what they do out of certain personnel groups, but being able to stop it is the main thing we are working on right now ... slow it down, I should say.

“You have to make some decisions. Okay, I’m going to defend the run or I’m I going to defend the pass and live with the other.”

And while everyone is trying to wrap their minds around the offensive numbers Baylor is producing, Rhoads added one more nugget to the equation.

“They play defense, too, 18 points and 346 yards is all they are giving up,” Rhoads said.

Those numbers rank third and fourth, respectively, in the Big 12.

INJURY UPDATES: The Cyclones will be without starting quick tackle Jacob Gannon, who suffered a knee injury against the Red Raiders.

Gannon will be replaced by senior Kyle Lichtenberg, who has made 18 career starts for ISU, fourthmost on the team.

“We were hoping after the game he wasn’t as bad as Tom (Farniok) and Jamison (Lalk), but it appears to be that way and he

Running back Aaron Wimberly, who missed most of the second half with ankle and back injuries, will play. Wimberly, who has 319 rushing yards in the Cyclones’ last three games, practiced Sunday.

Starting cornerback Jansen Watson, who did not play against the Red Raiders because of an ankle injury, will play.

BIG 12 HONORS: Jarvis West was lauded by the Big 12 as its Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against Texas Tech.

West recorded Iowa State’s first non-onside kickoff return for a touchdown since 1994 (Troy Davis), going 95 yards for the score on ISU’s first touchdown of the afternoon.

The 95-yard kickoff return tied for the third-longest in school history.

West also had four punt returns for 46 yards, including a career-long 38-yarder in the third quarter.

West’s career 26.10 average on kickoff returns ranks second all-time in school history behind Luther Blue (26.47; 1973-76).

IOWA CITY — Health questions continue to linger for Iowa, which had several players banged up two weeks ago against Michigan State.

The Hawkeyes were idle last week, which was a good thing, Coach Kirk Ferentz said.

“We would have been in a little bit of trouble if we played Saturday,” Ferentz said. “Fortunately, we didn’t. Based on what we saw over the weekend, looks like everybody’s ready to go. We’ve just got to get through the week now.”

Running back Mark Weisman suffered a foot injury against the Spartans but said he’s ready to c o m p e t e Weisman this Satu r d a y at Ohio State. Others who left the field against Michigan State include defensive end Dominic Alvis, wide receiver Kevonte Martin-Manley, tackle Brandon Scherff, linebacker Christian Kirksey and linebacker James Morris.

Family time Canadian wide receiver Tevaun Smith hails from Toronto, so there’s no

For six consecutive years Iowa has beaten either a Bowl Championship Series qualifier or an 11-win team.

In 2007 and 2008, the Hawkeyes upset Rose Bowl representatives Illinois and Penn State, respectively. In 2009, the Hawkeyes beat Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl.

In 2010, Iowa knocked off 11-win Michigan State.

Two years ago, Iowa knocked off Michigan, which advanced to the Sugar Bowl. Last year, Iowa topped Orange Bowl-bound Northern Illinois in the opener.

But trips to the eastern Big Ten enable Smith to meet with his family, who make the drive across the border. Last year, they traveled to Michigan and Michigan State to watch him compete. This week, his mother and younger brother are heading to Columbus.

“Just knowing your mom’s watching — they’re watching on TV — but knowing they’re actually there definitely helps out,” Smith said.

Smith won’t have much time to see them on the business trip, but he’ll be able to say hello to them after the game.

the Badgers to three Rose Bowls and winning all of them. Known for speaking his mind, which could be a mixed blessing.

Retired Lt. Gen Michael Gould: When Gould took over as superintendent of the Air Force Academy, the official press released quoted him on traditions: “One thing remains standard and enduring and that is … beat Army and sink Navy!”

Pat Haden, Southern Cal AD: No complaints here — national championship winning quarterback at Southern Cal, Rhodes Scholar, attorney, college football broadcaster. Oh, and he fired Lane Kiffin, too.

Tom Jernstedt, one-time NCAA executive: Played a significant role in the growth of March Madness in terms of teams, popularity and cash.

He understands how a committee should work.

Jeff Long, Arkansas AD: The first committee chairman has held administrator posts at schools in the Big 12 (Oklahoma), Big Ten, Big East, Atlantic Coast and now SEC. Handled the Bobby Petrino mess about as well as possible.

Oliver Luck, West Virginia AD: Let’s see — star college quarterback, lawyer, athletic director. Yeah, there’s a little bit of a pattern. Bigger question: Will he still be at West Virginia when the playoff starts? The early front-runner to replace DeLoss Dodds at Texas.

Over that six-year span, Iowa is 5-3 against BCS-qualifying squads. The losses were by a combined seven points — three points twice to Ohio State, 31-30 to Wisconsin.

Iowa-Ohio State on hiatus Iowa boasts 12 players on its roster from Ohio, and Saturday’s game is the only time they are scheduled to play in their home state.

Big Ten expansion has changed the frequency of several series, such as Iowa-Ohio State, which competed six times over an eight-year period through the 2010 season.

Iowa last played in Columbus in 2009 and are not scheduled for a return trip until at least 2018. Likewise, Ohio State’s last trip to Iowa City was in 2010 and the Buckeyes’ next

be the most iconic football figure on the committee, an SEC legend and the patriarch of the Manning quarterback dynasty.

Tom Osborne, former Nebraska coach: Not the Big 12’s biggest fan but a Hall of Fame football coach and former U.S. representative who brings a traditional perspective.

Dan Radakovich, Clemson AD: Aggressive reputation at Georgia Tech — although he didn’t handle an NCAA investigation well. Hired at Clemson in 2012.

Condoleezza Rice, former U.S. Secretary of State: Hey, if she could hold her own in meetings with George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Colin Powell, she should be fine on the committee.

Mike Tranghese, former Big East commissioner: Interesting choice. Highly respected but also a long-time playoff opponent who must make now making sure the system works.

Steve Wieberg, former USA Today sports writer: Playoff executive director Bill Hancock suggested a retired media member would be in the mix. It They got a good one.

Tyrone Willingham, onetime Stanford, Notre Dame and Washington coach: While Willingham didn’t have a great record as a head coach (76-88-1), he carved out a reputation for intelligence and integrity.

“I could argue it takes something away from the players not being able to go home for Thanksgiving,” Ferentz said. “But they’ll never see that again. You know, it’s the same thing with the expansion. Expansion, it’s a different world than it used to be.

Like it, don’t like it, it doesn’t matter because you have to deal with it.”

Iowa and Ohio State currently are in opposite divisions with the Hawkeyes in the Legends and Ohio State in the Leaders. Next year when Maryland and Rutgers join the league, Iowa moves into the newly created West Division, while Ohio State competes in the East.

Brad Biggs’ NFL power rankings

By BRAD BIGGS Chicago Tribune

Last week’s rankings in parentheses 1. Broncos 6-0 (1): Champ Bailey returned last week and now the Broncos get pass rusher Von Miller back from suspension.

2. Patriots 5-1 (6): Tom Brady finding ways to make-do with wide receivers that betray him too often at key moments.

3. Saints 5-1 (2): Rob Ryan’s defense got off the field twice late in loss at New England.

4. Seahawks 5-1 (4): Have not been particularly sharp the last three weeks but defense still can be suffocating.

5. Chiefs 6-0 (9): 31 sacks are nine more than next closest team and defense on pace for NFL record 82.

6. Colts 4-2 (3): Offense was far too reliant on Trent Richardson in loss at San Diego.

7. 49ers 4-2 (5): Help could be coming soon as WR Mario Manningham and CB Eric Wright practicing this week for first time this season.

8. Packers 3-2 (8): Aaron Rodgers overcame losses of receivers Randall Cobb and James Jones, overshadowing strong defensive effort minus Clay Matthews.

9. Bengals 4-2 (7): Difficult to figure this team out. Defense blanketed Tom Brady one week and then Bengals needed overtime for victory at Buffalo.

10. Bears 4-2 (11): Jay Cutler playing his best football since 2009 trade as team looks to build momentum heading into off week.

11. Lions 4-2 (13): Who leads Lions in touchdown receptions?

Tight end Joseph Fauria, an undrafted free agent out of UCLA. 12. Ravens 3-3 (10): Running game with Ray Rice ranks 27th in NFL, averaging just 72.7 yards per game and John Harbaugh wants to get that solved.

13. Cowboys 3-3 (15): Victory over Redskins came with price as they prepare for first-place showdown at Philadelphia minus DeMarcus Ware, DeMarco Murray.

14. Dolphins 3-2 (12): Coming out of week off rested and ready to embark on AFC East schedule with Bills and Patriots next.

15. Chargers 3-3 (19): Don’t underestimate Mike McCoy’s credentials as a quarterback whisperer.

16. Jets 3-3 (14): Three-point loss to Patriots in Week 2 was fifth

straight setback in series for Rex Ryan.

17. Titans 3-3 (16): Somehow they sit at .500 despite Chris Johnson averaging only 3.1 yards per carry.

18. Eagles 3-3 (23): Chip Kelly noncommittal about Nick Foles as his starter.

19. Rams 3-3 (26): Alec Ogletree emerging as force in middle of defense, punctuated victory at Houston with 98-yard interception return for TD. 20. Browns 3-3 (17): Brandon Weeden’s decision-making under fire after Browns unraveled, blowing 10-point lead against Lions.

21. Cardinals 3-3 (20): Trip through NFC West gauntlet makes next stop Thursday at Seattle.

22. Texans 2-4 (18): Could be Gary Kubiak has stuck with Matt Schaub this far because alternatives are not inspiring.

23. Falcons 1-4 (24): First goal for digging out of this hole has to be .500.

24. Steelers 1-4 (29): Defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau now 16-2 in career vs. rookie QBs after facing Jets’ Geno Smith.

25. Panthers 2-3 (27): Ron Rivera has vowed to get aggressive on fourth down, proof he’s not going down without a lot of fight.

26. Bills 2-4 (22): Thad Lewis’ sprained foot led Bills to sign Matt Flynn as backup. Fortunately, Lewis expected to play at Miami.

27. Raiders 2-4 (21): Tough to evaluate Terrelle Pryor for the future when he’s getting sacked 10 times like he was at Kansas City.

28.

Vikings 1-4 (25): Announcement Josh Freeman will start Monday in Meadowlands against Giants could come Wednesday.

29. Redskins 1-4 (28): RG-3 showed a little quickness and elusiveness at Dallas but defense remains bad and special teams a nightmare.

30. Giants 0-6 (30): Eli Manning has matched his 2012 interception total of 15 in just six games. Career high? Twenty-five in 2010.

31. Buccaneers 0-5 (31): Josh Freeman saga, MRSA incidents all obscure fact this a seven-victory team from 2012 in a free fall.

32. Jaguars 0-6 (32): Any given Sunday saying didn’t materialize at Denver. Team catches Chargers on short week traveling cross country.

Rare shot for a victory?

GRMC Cancer Center acquires new technology for treating cancer Greater Regional Cancer Center has installed an OnBoard Imager kV imaging system from Varian Medical Systems.

The On-Board Imager makes it possible for doctors to offer patients Conebeam CT IGRT (imageguided radiotherapy), a precise form of treatment that utilizes multiple imaging and motion management techniques for tumor targeting.

“This state-of-the-art technology will enable us to treat patients with the same advanced radiotherapy techniques used in larger metropolitan cancer centers,” said Katy Wiley, ASRT director. “It provides us with tremendous versatility and precision for customizing treatments according to the specifics of each patient’s case.”

Varian’s robotic OnBoard Imager, which is capable of real-time tumor

tracking and automated patient positioning, enables clinicians to concentrate radiation doses on the tumor, while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. This means that doses of radiation can be delivered quickly and with great precision, which translates into fast treatments, greater patient comfort and the potential for better outcomes.

“Radiation therapy is used today in more than half of all cancer treatments due to its unique clinical advantages,” said Wiley. “Using Conebeam CT IGRT from Varian, we have the potential to substantially improve treatment outcomes by doing a better job of protecting healthy tissue, while delivering more powerful doses to cancerous tumors.”

The IGRT technology was installed during midSeptember and is currently in use.

Spirituality movement, hospitality drive planned

Triggs Pigs: four generations of champion swine

By SARAH BROWN

CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Creston residents may know Kevin Triggs as their local mail carrier, but, did you know Triggs and his sons operate the only pure-bred pig farm in Ringgold County?

Triggs family farm On the outskirts of Mount Ayr, the Triggs’ family farm sits on 240 acres of land, where four generations of Triggs have raised champion swine.

The farm, which has two houses, is where Kevin, 51, grew up and worked with his father Marvin Triggs and grandfather J.W. Triggs.

Today, Kevin, his wife Kathy, and their sons Johnathan and Tyler continue to reside in the farmhouse he grew up in, with Kevin’s mother Darlene living in the second house across the street.

The beginning J.W. bought his first Duroc pig — an older American breed, some of which are red in color — in the early 1920s, when he was in his early 20s.

“It was something he always wanted to do,” said Kevin.

According to Kevin, it was the spotted pig — an English breed which are typically white with black spots — his grandfather admired most.

“He just fell in love with the spots,” said Kevin.

After his first purchase, J.W. began breeding, selling and showing his pigs at open competitions in the area.

Kevin’s father Marvin continued his father’s passion and expanded the depth of

Commitment is

his breeding knowledge as artificial insemination, also known as AI, became more commonplace in the industry.

“He knew things were changing,” said Kevin. “It went from day to night.”

The practice lead to the Triggs’ ability to breed swine with very specific traits and consistency.

Some of the benefits from using AI practices are the rate of genetic improvement, increased consistency of producing market hogs and increasing breeding efficiency.

As a young boy, Kevin showed pigs in open shows and was active in Future Farmers of America (FFA) throughout youth. By the time he was 21-years-old, Kevin was recognized by the State of Iowa FFA Association and National FFA organization for demonstrating exceptional leadership, academic and career skills in the program and was awarded state and national FFA degrees.

Kevin claims his achievements, however, are not solely his own. He said it was the knowledge gained from working the farm with his father and grandfather that helped him become the successful livestock producer he is today.

Raising champions Kevin compares raising swine to training all-star athletes.

“You have to train them, feed them, exercise them,” said Triggs, “It’s neat to take a pig from point A to the end and see how they do.”

Triggs’ Pigs, which his sons like to refer to them as, have been sold locally and throughout the United States.

October is

Agriculture. Pork Month

Some of their pigs have even been purchased and shipped to places such as Mexico and Taiwan.

In the 1980s, Kevin took home an award for having the “Big Bore” at the Iowa State Fair. At 1,000 pounds, he said the big bore was “as gentle as a kitten.”

Like their award-winning father, Johnathan, 19, and Tyler, 17, bred and raised the 2013 Iowa State Fair grand champion; received three grand champion awards for market pig, commercial gilt and pen of three at the 2013 Ringgold County Fair and competed in two national competitions, where they won the award for premiere exhibitor at the 2013 National Barrow Show in Austin, Minn.

According to Kevin, his sons display their awards on the wall between their bedroom.

“We don’t really consider it showing against each other,” said Johnathan. “It’s a family job. If one of us wins, we all win.”

The life When Kevin isn’t delivering the mail, tending to pigs or volunteering at Mount Ayr High Sschool events, he is farming corn and hay. His sons, when not engaged in studying or football, spend their time working alongside him.

“We do a lot of work to keep the farm running,” said Johnathan. “Dad can’t do it on his own and we know that.”

Johnathan said he has a passion for the work — the same passion that inspires Kevin to wake early every day and, at times, stay up all night.

Kevin said Johnathan has wanted to attend Iowa State University (ISU) hiw whole life. After recieving two football scholarship offers from Simpson and and Central colleges, Johnathan decided to hang up his cleats to focus on agriculture.

Raising Champions ■ Reagan and Beau

Weinheimer learn life skills from raising swine

By SARAH BROWN CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews. com

What does it take to raise a champion? Ask John and Tracey Weinheimer.

In 1997, John Weinheimer, who owns and operates Weinheimer Farms in Greenfield, started breeding show pigs.

Weinheimer’s pigs have won a number of awards at the Iowa State Fair, Adair County Fair, national competitions and local open shows.

At the 2013 Adair County Fair, Joe Herr, whose family purchased three of the Weinheimer’s pigs, won grand champion commercial gilt, grand champion market hog, and his sister Annie Herr also won in her class.

Additionally, Weinheimer’s daughter Reagan also took home the award for grand champion pen of three at the 2013 Adair County Fair.

While his children were still toddlers, John began to show them the ropes.

At 11 and 14 years old respectively, Reagan and Beau can tell you all about what it takes to breed, raise and show champion swine like old pros.

If you ask Reagan and Beau, they think competing is fun, however, by teaching their children how to raise show-winning pigs, John and Tracey Weinheimer are teaching their children valuable life lessons and skills such as discipline, responsi-

bility, time management, prioritizing and goal-setting.

Time management Reagan, who was the 2013 Iowa State tumbling champion, and participates in dance, gymnastics, basketball, softball and soccer, is learning a serious lesson in time management.

“Make sure you have days for everything so they (the activities) don’t overlap” said Reagan.

Reagan also is learning about prioritizing, as she gave up volleyball to focus on dance, since she wants to become a cheer leader in highschool.

For Reagan, it’s easiest to get homework and studying done right after school, since most of her extracurricular activities are later in the evening.

Beau, who plays in a Creston baseball league though Southwestern Community College, basketball, track and participates in FFA, chooses seasonal activities to help balance his time.

Teamwork Both kids are learning what it means to be a team.

Beau recalled a time when his father hurt his knee and was unable to care for the pigs.

“He basically gave us the direction and we did the work,” said Beau. “We fed them in the morning before school and fed them at night.”

Beau said, the task of feeding the pigs takes 45 minutes, twice a day, for 20 pigs, as each is given their own specific ration of food.

Beau and Reagan have also developed an efficient system for washing their ani-

mals.

“We wash white pigs on one day and black pigs on another day,” said Reagan.

They developed this method so they can identify which pigs they have washed, since they quickly get dirty.

The Weinheimer’s focus on teamwork also carries into the show ring, where they have learned to work to-

gether to take home wins for the family.

To enter their swine into more categories at shows, Tracey said her children will choose categories they want to compete in and choose swine to show for those specific categories.

According to Reagan, while she prefers to win, she is happy when her brother wins because they both take part in raising the animals.

Discipline Reagan and Beau are both straight-A students — grades come first.

“Because they are such great students, they are able to do this,” said Tracey. “If the grades slip, there are consequences.”

For Reagan and Beau, failing is not an option. Competing is in their blood.

“Ever since I was three, I wanted to show pigs so bad,” said Reagan.

As the children stand in front of an armoire covered from top to botton with trophies and ribbons, it’s apparent they know the amount of ambition, determination and commitment it takes to succeed.

ENTERTAINMENT The danger in the dill Dear Heloise: Recently, I wanted to dry some DILL in my microwave oven. I placed a paper towel, with pretty flower designs, on a glass tray and placed the dill on top. I set the microwave for 30 seconds and pushed the start button.

Much to my surprise, after a few seconds, the paper towel was on fire! I was shocked, because I have done this in the past with success. Later, I was replacing the paper towels and noticed a warning label on the wrapper. The warning stated not to dry herbs on paper towels in the microwave oven. I wanted to alert your readers to this. — Elaine S. in Virginia An important warning and reminder also to only use WHITE paper towels in the microwave, especially if cooking food. When drying herbs, separate the leaves from the stems, watch them closely and don’t walk away! Herbs dry quickly in the microwave and can burn easily. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com

Hints from Heloise PICKLE LID Dear Heloise: I was just reading my September issue of Good Housekeeping magazine and noticed the question on deodorizing pickle-jar lids.

Here’s what I’ve found that works well.

After thoroughly washing the lid with soapy dishwater, I place the lid outside in full sun, with the inside of the lid facing up. A day or two in the hot Texas sun seems to completely remove all pickle odors. I love using glass jars for all kinds of storage. — Linda G. in Texas Yep! Good old Mother Nature can deliver a wallop or a pat. The sun can “bleach” out many things and, as you mentioned, kill pickle odor! — Heloise TEST YOUR HINT IQ Dear Readers: Poundcakes are delicious, sweet cakes that taste great by themselves or dressed up with fruits and sauces. But do you know how the cake got its name? It was

named for a pound of which ingredient used in the recipe?

A) Flour B) Sugar C) Eggs D) Butter E) All of the above The answer is E! This EASY recipe just said to add a pound of EACH of the ingredients to make the cake. Any way you slice it, it’s a good dessert. — Heloise SOFT BROWN SUGAR Dear Heloise: I don’t use brown sugar quickly, so I’ve tried every hint to keep it fresh. The best method is to store it in the freezer. It takes only a few minutes to thaw, and you’ll find it as soft and fresh as the day you bought it.

— Joan in Colorado Springs, Colo.

BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker Be sure to place the sugar in a sealable plastic freezer bag.

The filter catches the spills. — Marsha in Georgia (c)2013 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Horoscope Thursday, Oct. 17, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Think before you speak today, because your first impulse is to shoot from the hip. You don’t want to blurt something out and later regret it, do you?

Easy does it.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is definitely a restless day for you. Something going on behind the scenes might make you agitated or anxious for some reason. Try to chill out.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might meet a real character today. However, what is more likely is that a female acquaintance you know will do or say something that shocks you. (“Whaaat?”)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be diplomatic when talking to authority figures today, because someone might impulsively say something that is regrettable. If you feel insulted or affronted, don’t quit your day job. Sleep on it.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Travel plans might be canceled or delayed today. Ditto for plans related to higher education. Everything is a crapshoot today!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Check your bank account today, because this is an unpredictable day for shared property, shared income, taxes, debt and inheritances. Something could go south in a New York minute.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Partners or close friends will surprise you today by saying or doing something unexpected. Then, possibly, a minor argument will break out. Whatever happens will be swift and then over.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Interruptions to your daily routine are likely today. At work you might suffer from computer crashes, power outages, staff shortages and canceled meetings. Just another day in paradise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Parents should be vigilant about their children today, because this is an accidentprone day for your kids. Know where they are at all times.

Be especially careful about fire and electrical matters.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your home routine will be interrupted today. Small appliances might break down;

minor breakages could occur.

Family arguments may break out, and unexpected company might knock at your door.

(Yikes!)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an accident-prone day for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do.

Slow down and take it easy.

Keep your eyes open.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Watch your finances today.

You might find money; you might lose money. Similarly, your possessions might be sto-

len, lost or broken. Be vigilant!

YOU BORN TODAY You can be quiet and unassuming, or a daredevil. One thing is certain: You are self-confident. You are outrageous when you become unrestrained over issues about which you are passionate.

Generally, however, you are considerate and prudent — we can take you anywhere. This year will be a social, pleasant year in which all your relationships will improve. Enjoy! (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
