DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate has announced the candidates’ filing deadline and calendar for the H o u s e District 21 special e l e c t i o n . Branstad Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad set the special election for Tuesday, December 8. The deadline

THREE FOR MAYOR

The three candidates running for Creston mayor this November attended a one-hour public forum Monday evening held on the campus of Southwestern Community College. Those candidates are Gary Lybarger, Laryl Vanden Berg and Warren Woods. This forum was hosted by Creston News Advertiser and KSIB Radio. About 50 people attended the forum in person and more listened live on the radio. More from the forum below:

Gary Lybarger emphasized, if elected, he’d bring a common sense approach to the mayor’s seat and would always have his door open to listen to public concerns.

“We need more input from the public,” Lybarger said. “My door will always be open. I don’t care who you are. I want to hear the problems of the public and employees.”

Lybarger has a structural engineering degree from Southwestern Community College and was Creston’s city building inspector for more than 11 years. He helped manage building projects at Southwestern Community College and Greater Regional Medical Center. He said he always took pride in his work.

“I’d like to put a little more pride into Creston,” Lybarger said. “We need to make it a little more appealing to the eye.”

He said improving city streets would be a good place to start. He said city officials need to get a plan in motion.

“We need to do something every year so people know we are doing something with their tax money,”

Laryl Vanden Berg was clear that improving city streets is his top priority, if elected mayor of Creston.

“You could almost lose a Volkswagen in some of the potholes in this town,” Vanden Berg said. “I’d like to take care of this issue.”

Vanden Berg said he’d like to seek grant opportunities to improve city streets and is “dead against” using taxpayer money. He cited patches of Howard Street and Elm Street as two areas needing attention.

Vanden Berg hails from northwest Iowa, but said he has come to call Creston home after living here for 15 years total. He first moved to Creston in 1996 and worked in the emergency care department at Greater Regional Medical Center.

That said, he’s “all for” continuing to strengthen the city’s police and fire departments.

Vanden Berg is an outdoor enthusiast and said southwest Iowa is one of the best areas in the Midwest for fishing, hunting and other recreational activities.

“We need to continue promoting those activities,” Vanden Berg said.

Current Creston Mayor Warren Woods feels he’s proven to be an effective mayor and told attendees he’s running again because he believes “what next is best” in Creston.

Woods named a few accomplishments in his time as mayor including the restoration of the Iowana Hotel, paving of Cottonwood Street and the sewer rehabilitation project that’s brought more than $2 million in grants to Creston. Woods said voters can view other accomplishments at his website: www. warrenwoods.com.

Woods said he also brought credibility to Creston, serving as the president of the League of Cities that represents more than 870 cities in Iowa.

Woods said his No. 1 priority will continue to be public safety.

“People need to feel safe in the community they live in,” Woods said.

Improving city streets is also a top priority for Woods. He said Creston currently gets about $800,000 from the fuel tax annually and uses

Ash tree killer found in 29th Iowa county DES MOINES (AP) — Officials say an invasive insect that kills ash trees has been confirmed in southern Linn County, bringing the state infestation total to 29 counties.

A news release from the Iowa Agriculture Department said Monday that the emerald ash borers were confirmed just north of the Johnson County line.

The larva of an emerald ash borer cuts off an ash tree’s flow of nutrients.

Once infected, trees typically die within five years.

The insects are native to Asia and were first spotted in the U.S. in 2002, when they showed up in the Detroit area. Authorities say the insects have spread to at least 25 other states, killing millions of trees.

No child ‘wet’ behind campaign planned Local businesses are encouraged to collect boxes of diapers that will be picked up by MATURA employees Oct. 30 and distributed at Creston WIC clinics.

■

In an effort to show support and encouragement to families with infants and children, MATURA Action Corporation employees will be trick or treating for diapers at local businesses at the first “No Child Wet Behind” Friday, Oct. 30 in Creston.

Local businesses are encouraged to collect boxes of diapers that will be picked up on Oct. 30 and then distributed to families at the Creston Women, Infant and Children (WIC) clinics.

“Our WIC clinics serve infants and children so we thought a WIC clinic would be the largest gathering of infants in Union County,” said Kar- Hynes la Hynes, WIC/MCH (Maternal and Child Health) program director.

Each infant or child will receive one box of diapers at the WIC clinics until the diaper supply is gone. According to Hynes, purchasing diapers is one of the most often reported hardships for parents of babies.

“Diapers are expensive and it’s an ongoing expense for families with new babies.

We thought it would be a great way to help out these families a little bit,” said Hynes.

Businesses interested in participating simply need to reach out to their own clients about the diaper drive and then contact MATURA to pick up the diapers on Oct. 30.

“We thought about making a bunch of requirements for the businesses that participate but realized that could stifle their creative abilities,” Hynes said. “We think this is a fun activity and we’d like the businesses that participate to have fun with their collections.”

A business or group that collects diapers simply needs to contact MATURA for a trick-or-treat pick-up on the 30th.

Hynes said, “We hope a lot of people and businesses help out with this diaper drive. It’s a great way to have some fun and help out children and families.”

For more information or to schedule a diaper pick up, contact Hynes at 641-2027114.

Don’t let the ghosts and goblins keep you from helping others this fall. Plans are being made for an evening of spooky family fun. Dale and Sharman Lowenberg and friends will be transforming their miniature golf course south of Afton into “The Haunted Trails” in an effort to raise community awareness and help stock the East Union ASPIRE “More” Food Pantry.

Lybarger said. “I don’t want to raise taxes any more.

So, we’re going to have to do the best with what we have.”

Lybarger is in favor of curbside single stream re-

of expanding the city’s library, but doesn’t want to use much, if any, taxpayer money to do so.

“It’s not just a place to check out a book,” Lybarger said. “It’s a place where kids can go to learn. There is staff down there that will work

with the kids. They have all different types of programs.

I’m for helping the library as much as we can.”

This is not the first time Lybarger has run for mayor in Creston. He was narrowly defeated by current mayor Warren Woods in 2011.

called for some landlords to take better care of their rental properties.

Vanden Berg was hesitant in supporting the expansion of the city’s library.

“My opinion is, the library is a good place to go

to grab a book. But, with notebooks and the ability to go online to get a book, how much longer are libraries going to be around?”

Vanden Berg said.

He did add, if no taxpayer money is used, he would

support the expansion of the library.

Vanden Berg closed saying Creston is a great place to live and raise a family and it would be his intention to build upon what’s already been established.

yond normal maintenance.”

Woods told those in attendance that a developer met with the city council late last week to discuss turning the former WalMart building into a strip mall. He said this project could be another revenue stream for the city if it comes to fruition.

“These things don’t come without cost up front from

the city, but when you get into the long term (these projects) pay off handsomely,” Woods said.

Woods said he’s in favor of single stream recycling when the city’s current garbage contract comes up next summer, but wants citizens to know it will come with a price tag. The city will go out for bids around the first of the year.

Woods has always been a strong support of expanding the city’s library. He emphasized that libraries are changing and becoming more of a gathering place for people. They aren’t just a place to check out books anymore.

“How can you call yourself a great city if you don’t have a great library?”

Woods said.

OPINION

It’s never too early for Christmas music It was around 9 last night when it happened.

I was driving home from covering the Creston School Board meeting, stopped at the red light that I always seem to hit at the Skyline Bridge construction area, when I reached for my mp3 player and turned it on.

A Christmas song.

It was a fairly harmless one, an instrumental tune from the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack called “Skating.” But it was enough.

I’ve officially caught the Christmas spirit.

As of today, there are 65 days until Christmas. But if you’ve been into Wal-Mart recently, there are already Christmas trees set up near the garden section. You can almost smell the scent of fake pine as you enter the double sliding doors. And I believe I quite possibly bumped

Ian’s inklings Ian Richardson staff writer

into Santa Claus in the Lego aisle yesterday, getting a headstart on his shopping.

For me, even the slightest sign of the holiday season is a breath of fresh air. It’s not even flannel weather yet, but I’m already in the fuzzy holiday mood.

Unfortunately, there are many who don’t share my views.

You already know this, of course.

That’s because there’s a very vocal segment of the American population who won’t have anything to do with Christmas music until the day after Thanksgiving. They don’t hes-

itate to make their views known at the slightest hint of any jingle-belling, hall-decking or “ho-ho-ho”-ing before Black Friday.

If by some chance you haven’t identified them yet, they’re likely the same people who are complaining that there’s too much pumpkin-flavored stuff in the stores right now. Or that you need to stop singing songs from “Frozen” because it’s nearly two years old.

Yeah, those people.

Statistically, they might even be the majority. According to a 2012 survey by technology company SOASTA, 78 percent of Americans don’t want stores to play Christmas music before Thanksgiving.

The basic argument is often noble enough. We should give Thanksgiving its due celebration. Point taken.

How can I disagree with that?

But then, when you think about

it, that doesn’t quite compute.

We’re talking about music here, after all. When was the last time you got a Thanksgiving song stuck in your head? And, if you’re one of the few people who actually knows a Thanksgiving song well enough to get it stuck in your head, why would you want it to stay there?

Plus, when it comes to music, Christmas actually has a history of blending with Thanksgiving. For example, “Jingle Bells” was originally written at Thanksgiving. Same with “Over the River and Through the Woods.” “My Favorite Things,” originally from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music,” is also largely seen as a Christmas song, although the lyrics have much more to do with being thankful than they do the birth of Jesus.

But before I come down too harshly on these people, I’m also,

in a way, thankful for them. We need them, lest the 22 percent of us who are Christmas free spirits play the songs year-round to the point they lose their special meaning. There must remain something sacred about holiday music. Something untouchable, a slice of childhood nostalgia we all must eternally guard inside ourselves. Even I will likely only play Christmas songs in spurts for the next two months. Just like candy, too much can be worse than none at all.

I also believe thankfulness and the gift of Jesus’ birth are worth celebrating year-round, so in the true Christmas spirit, I think I can cut them a little slack.

But that doesn’t mean they don’t need to loosen up a bit.

A few chestnuts roasting on an open fire in October isn’t going to kill anyone, after all.

Letters to the editor

Want to feel good?

From Ron Dunphy Creston

He who would like to have something he never had, will have to do something well he hasn’t done yet.

Can you listen? How about listening to a child read? Maybe it has been a while since you sat with your own children to listen to them read to you. Or maybe a grandchild?

You have that opportunity start-

ing in November at our own Creston grade school. It is a small sacrifice — a half hour. The reward is the smile on the child’s face AND the friendship that develops after just a couple of weeks.

Give a little, get a lot.

Several time slots/days available. If you need to miss a day, substitutes are available too. Call 782-4382 to start an exciting experience.

Old poem wishes for a doughnut tree From Sodie Widener Creston

I found this poem in a really old magazine and wanted to share: Oh weary mothers mixing dough, Don’t you wish that food would grow.

Your lips would smile I know to see, A cookie bush or a doughnut tree.

A good cook measures well and beats, But first must know how the oven heats.

New York Times reacted furiously to campaign filing news HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Glamour magazine ran a survey of readers who used dating websites and social media to meet their mates. Everyone seems happy with the survey results. Twelve percent of the respondents in the survey said they met their spouse online while eighty-eight percent met somebody else’s spouse online.

Louisville escort Katina Powell claimed she and her daughters were paid thousands of dollars to have sex with Louisville basketball recruits. Isn’t that jumping the gun a little bit? According to NCAA rules, these players are not allowed to turn to professionals until after their sophomore year.

Lamar Odom opened his eyes in a Las Vegas hospital with Khloe Kardashian and family there Friday. Everyone in L.A. feels bad for the poor guy. One minute he was partying in a whorehouse and the next thing he knows, he’s waking up in a hospital bed with his exwife staring him in the face.

Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies with Tom Hanks is a true story about a N.Y. lawyer who had to defend a Soviet spy then swap him a U.S. pilot at the Berlin Wall during the Cold War. Nothing has changed. The Putin Doctrine states that any nation that drinks vodka rightfully belongs to Russia.

CNBC gave in to Donald Trump’s demands and reduced this month’s GOP debate to two hours and allowed opening and

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

closing statements. The network was going to ask a dozen sixtyyear-olds to stand up for three hours under hot lights and answer questions. Who’s the moderator, Dick Cheney?

President Obama’s daughter Malia Obama was reportedly spotted on SnapChat participating in beer pong with students while visiting Brown University. It’s no big issue to dad. Like George Washington, President Obama brews beer in the house and like Jefferson, he has two black daughters.

Judicial Watch obtained records Friday revealing that President Obama’s golf trips to Palm Springs in February and Florida in March cost the taxpayers two million dollars. The president deserves getaway time considering the hours he puts in on the job. He works a seventy-two hole week.

President Obama called Palestinian attacks on Israeli citizens acts of random violence Friday even after Hamas called for a Day of Rage that resulted in West Bank rioting. Obama admonished the Jews and Muslims to start getting along. Next he’s going to settle this Roadrunner-Coyote thing.

New England Patriots star Tom Brady went on radio Monday and blasted Coca-Cola as poison for

kids and then he ripped Kellogg’s Sugar Frosted Flakes as not actual food. Reaction was swift. Before Tom left the studio he got a call from Bernie Sanders welcoming him to the Communist Party.

The New York Times reacted furiously to campaign filing news that Donald Trump drew three million in small donations he didn’t solicit. They averaged fifty bucks.

An unintended consequence of the Democratic debate Tuesday was the formation of an opposition group called Rich Lives Matter.

Los Angeles schoolkids participated in the Great Shakeout earthquake drill on Thursday. The kids tweeted and went on Instagram and Facebook, as they lay under their desks until the shaking stops.

Then they bow their heads and thank God that fracking has gas down to two dollars per gallon.

The London Mail quoted doctors who say that teenagers are developing curvature of the spine, hunchbacks and bowed necks from spending so much time on smart phones. It could develop into a genetic mutation. Someday, you might once again see Americans playing shortstop and second base.

Israeli Defense Forces reacted to the wave of violent street protesters on the West Bank Friday by bulldozing a building protesters used for cover and reducing it to rubble. Did the Israelis think this all the way through? It just gave the Palestinians another hundred thousand rocks to throw at them.

ENTERTAINMENT A glowing tale of caution Dear Heloise: A word of caution for anyone who gives away, or receives, GLOW STICKS for Halloween.

(HELOISE HERE: Or use them yourself.) Someone gave some to my 4-yearold granddaughter. As she was putting some together, the end opened on one and squirted the solution into her eyes. She screamed, it burned so bad.

I rushed her to the bathroom and washed her eyes out with water. They were red, but eventually her eyes were fine. Who knows what these could do to others?

Please warn people that glow sticks should be used only with adult supervision, and as a caution, break the tubes AWAY from you. — Neda M. in California Neda, glad your granddaughter is OK. The liquid in most glow sticks is NOT poisonous, but it can be irritating, especially to the eyes or mouth. You did the right thing by rinsing her eyes (do so for at least 10 minutes, and use room-temperature water) and monitoring her condition.

However, to play it safe, please call the Poison Control hotline (800-222-1222) to double-check. If possible, have the glow stick with you.

Please don’t take a chance with vision — you only have

Hints from Heloise two eyes, and they are precious! From one who knows.

— Heloise WEARING SHIRT ONCE Dear Heloise: I have a hint for when I have worn clothing for only a short time and want to wear it again: I put the hanger on the closet rod backward or the other way so I know that it has been worn once, yet is not quite ready for the laundry. This saves washing clothing that is really not dirty. — Lou in West Milton, Ohio Lou, this is a hint many readers use, but here’s a little addition: Let the shirt “air out” before putting it back in the closet to prevent odor transfers to other clothes.

Plus, it will help odors dissipate, and the shirt will smell fresh when you put it on next time. — Heloise BOX TOPS Dear Readers: It’s that time again! School is on, and Box Tops for Education is in full force! For every “Top” turned in, the school gets 10 cents, and that can add up

quickly. A lot of products on grocery shelves now have the little coupons.

Here are some hints to consider when saving Box Tops: 1. They expire, so get them to schools in time to be used.

2. They can be anywhere on the product. Some places prevent them from being cut out while on the shelf.

Save them even if you don’t have school-age children. Go to www.boxtops4education. com to find schools in your area. — Heloise SALAD-DRESSING TOP Dear Heloise: We buy salad dressing, and some do not have the little plastic insert top. You have a hard time measuring how much you should pour out.

Jays break out TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays came out swinging and their rowdy fans were singing from the start, with Troy Tulowitzki and Josh Donaldson connecting in a six-run third inning as Toronto roughed up Johnny Cueto and the Royals for an 11-8 victory that cut Kansas City’s series lead to 2-1.

“That’s really what we’re all about,” manager John Gibbons said. “We desperately needed that breakout.”

Veteran knuckleballer R.A. Dickey will try to get the Blue Jays even in the best-of-seven series Tuesday afternoon. He faces Kansas City’s 6-foot-10 right-hander Chris Young in Game 4.

Ryan Goins also homered and had a two-run single a game after his misplayed pop fly set off Kansas City’s winning rally Sunday.

Eagles soar PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A tenacious defense bailed out Sam Bradford and made Eli Manning miserable.

DeMarco Murray ran for 109 yards and a touchdown, Nolan Carroll returned one of Manning’s two interceptions for a score and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the New York Giants 27-7 Monday night.

The Eagles had three takeaways, sacked Manning three times and forced two intentional grounding penalties.

“All the credit goes to them,” Bradford said of Philadelphia’s defense.

“It seemed like every time we needed a stop or a big play, they created a lot of turnovers tonight. That always gives us a lot of momentum and always gives us juice.”

Bradford threw for 280 yards with a 32-yard TD pass to Riley Cooper, but had three interceptions to keep New York in the game. The Giants got zero points off the turnovers.

Odom improves LAS VEGAS (AP) — Lamar Odom is alert and his condition is improving after the former NBA star was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel a week ago, his family said Monday.

Alvina Alston, publicist for Odom’s aunt JaNean Mercer, said the former reality-TV personality is undergoing testing, but there is no word yet on when he might be released from the hospital. Odom is overcoming “insurmountable obstacles” and defying the odds, Mercer said in a statement.

“Each day Lamar is getting stronger and reaching significant milestones in his recovery,” the statement said.

Odom was found in extremely critical condition at the Love Ranch brothel in the rural community of Crystal, Nevada, on Oct. 13 and was hospitalized in Las Vegas. He regained consciousness and communicated for the first time Friday.

What a difference five days can make.

Coming off an uninspired 3-0 road defeat at conference co-leader Iowa Central on Wednesday, the Southwestern volleyball team rebounded with an active defense and relentless attack in beating Highland Community College (Kan.) here Monday, 25-11, 25-20, 15-25, 25-19.

“We had better defense tonight,” said SWCC coach Ting Liu. “And, definitely our hitters were much better. We got more kills than the Iowa Central match.”

Carmen Subbert had 19 kills Monday.

Two other Spartans reached double figures as Xuntong Z h a n g Subbert had 14 and Marie Palmer 10. Palmer, freshman from Southwest Valley, also had two solo blocks and four block assists.

Highland, which entered the match at 16-10 for the season, had a dangerous hitter in 5-9 sophomore Leah Rader of Joplin, Mo.

After Highland had closed the SWCC match lead to 2-1, Rader rallied the Scotties with several kills in a row in the fourth set to pull the visitors to within 22-19.

At 23-19, the SWCC duo of Marie Palmer and Xuntong Z h a n g blocked R a d er and Palmer added a solo block to coin- Palmer cide with Carmen Subbert’s service run that ended the 25-19 victory to clinch the match.

Iowa State to stick with Richardson at QB

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

AMES (AP) — Iowa State is keeping Sam Richardson at quarterback — and the Cyclones plan to give backup Joel Lanning more snaps moving forward, too.

Coach Paul Rhoads said Monday that Lanning, a redshirt sophomore, will play a bigger role starting with Saturday’s game at No. 2 Baylor (6-0, 3-0 Big 12).

Lanning threw just one pass in last week’s loss against No. 4 TCU and it went for a 74-yard touchdown. But Richardson’s experience is a big reason why Rhoads and offensive coordinator Mark Mangino are sticking with the senior.

Richardson has thrown just one touchdown pass over the past two games,

which Iowa State (2-4, 1-2) lost by an average of nearly 30 points.

“He’s a fifth-year player that thoroughly understands our offense, and that thorough understanding is a big part of it,” Rhoads said. “If you don’t have that mental piece in place as strong as it needs to be, it can be catastrophic.”

Richardson’s overall numbers — over 1,400 yards on 62.3 percent passing through six games — look decent on paper. But the Cyclones are not winning many games.

With Richardson behind center against No. 12 Iowa last month, the Cyclones failed to score in the second half and Richardson’s late interception closed the door Please see ISU, page 8A

Spartan men 7th at Dr. Tucker Invite

DUBUQUE — Several Southwestern Community College cross country runners set new personal bests here Friday and the men’s team finished seventh out of 10 teams at the Dr. Tucker Invitational, hosted by Loras College.

The Spartan men finished ahead of Region XI rival Scott Community College by seven points.

Southwestern was led by freshman Inia Sili of Suva, Fiji, who crossed the finish line in a time of 28:03 over the 8K course, marking a Sili new personal best.

Gabe Esser, a freshman from Winterset, finished in 29:03.

Joe Blake, Chasen Selsor and Sean Schmitz rounded out the team scoring for the Spartans.

“Our men’s team has been fighting various illnesses and injuries the past couple of weeks, so to have these guys come out today and race their guts out at less than 100 percent is so exciting to see as a coach,” Southwestern head coach Nick Ekel said.

“Each man did his job today, and our competitive focus keeps getting better each time we race. It’s an exciting time to be a Spartan.”

Only two Spartan women competed in the meet.

Shiomi Kuwabara finished in a new PR time of 27:33 for the 6K course, w h i l e s o p h o m o r e B r o o k e Kuwabara Lindgren also ran a new PR of 29:42.

“It’s always tough to come into a race knowing that your team will not score,” Ekel said. “However, both ladies ran very strong and disciplined races, and it paid off in spades as they both PRed by a minute. We will have the full squad back for the Region XI Championships in two weeks.”

Central College sophomore Holly McKinney, an Interstate 35 graduate, finished second overall in the women’s race, clocking a time of 23:04.2.

The Spartans now turn their attention to the Region XI Championships, held Sunday, Nov. 1 at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course in Fort Dodge.

try. You have a different schedule, and we’re 4-2 or 5-1, and Sam is playing at the same level, people aren’t asking that question,” Rhoads said.

Lanning’s big arm, quick feet and flashes of brilliance in limited duty have made him a popular figure among Cyclones fans. Lanning grew up in nearby Ankeny, Iowa, just 20 minutes from Jack Trice Stadium. He turned down an offer from Nebraska — a school that has historically snatched up just about every recruit Iowa State also wanted — after being named the Class

Rhoads is a big supporter of Lanning, too. But he’s not ready to make Lanning the starter just yet.

Livestock show: Adams County 4-H’er Jake Oathoudt of Nodaway leads his 1,153-

Safety tips for children with food allergies for Halloween Children with food allergies can safely enjoy Halloween trick-or-treating with a little planning. Barb Fuller, Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach human sciences specialist, nutrition and wellness, offers some suggestions.

Start with having the child eat dinner before going out on Halloween night, so he or she will not be tempted by hunger to eat a treat. Adults can carry a safe snack in case they want one. Plan the stops to make and have those friends and neighbors have a safe treat to hand out to the child with food allergies. Adults should carry the child’s emergency medicine if a reaction should occur. Or if the child is old enough and going alone or with friends, the child needs to have the medication and know how to use it.

The Teal Pumpkin Project raises awareness of food allergies and promotes a safer, happier Halloween by encouraging households to make non-food treats available so that trick-ortreaters who need to avoid candy due to food allergies or other reasons can fully participate.

Households can show they are participating by placing a teal pumpkin in front of their home.

Last year, households from 50 states and seven countries participated in the Teal Pumpkin Project.

This year, you can be part of an even bigger movement. Visit tealpumpkinproject.org to join 100,000 households pledging to participate in the Teal Pumpkin Project.

If their children are going to collect treats, parents can have something safe to

trade for the candy at home or leave the unsafe candy for a “Candy Fairy” who then leaves a small gift in exchange. Fuller said another tip is to buy non-food goodies like stickers or small toys for everyone. These suggestions can also help with avoiding those treats that not only may cause an allergic reaction but also have a lot of sugar that can lead to tooth decay.

For more information contact Fuller at bfuller@ iastate.edu or 712-5892449. The ISU answerline at 1-800-262-3804 can also provide information on food allergies.
