Church donates flags for Freedom Rock site

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

The Union County Freedom Rock — being painted this week by Ray “Bubba” Sorensen — will soon have some company.

Trinity Lutheran Church in Creston has offered to donate five, 20-foot flag poles and all five military flags for the Freedom Rock site at the city’s welcome center on New York Avenue. Creston City Council approved this donation Tuesday evening.

“We wanted to give back to the community,” said Gene Cook with Trinity Lutheran Church, “and what better way is there than putting up the five armed service flags and honoring our veterans who have given us this

free country.”

The church plans to pay for all costs associated with flag pole installation.

This project also will include moving and replanting two trees at the welcome center.

Sorensen said this morning about 30 percent of the Freedom Rock is painted and expects the rock to be done by the end of the week.

The church plans to order the poles and flags immediately with hope they can be installed before Veterans Day (Nov. 11). Flags will include Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and

Coast Guard.

Denny Abel, quartermaster for the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1797, is planning a dedication ceremony on Veterans Day at the Freedom Rock site.

“The flags will really dress up the site,” Abel said. “We’re going to have a dedication ceremony at the rock on Veterans Day unless we have incliment weather and then it will be at the high school gymnasium. I plan to have everyone there whose donated money or time to the Freedom Rock.”

ted and some of the best defenses are some of the most basic.

“With any infections disease, it comes back to hand-washing, staying away from people who are sick, getting vaccinations,” Krogstad said. “If they are coughing, sneezing, have a fever, that’s the time to stay at home.”

Krogstad also said avoiding touching your mouth, nose and eyes can help prevent contracting or spreading illness to others.

dministrators at Greater Regional Medical Center have stepped up their protocols and procedures to protect their patients, staff and the community from the possible, but, unlikely, threat of Ebola.

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), Ebola is a rare and deadly virus that causes disease in humans and non-human primates. Currently, only three cases have been confirmed in the United States and more than 9,000 have been confirmed in regions of western Africa.

Dr. Karen Krogstad at Greater R e g i o n a l Krogstad said despite the media hype, the risk contracting Ebola is extremely low.

“But, in medicine, anything with a low likelihood, you have to be ready for,” Krogstad said.

“We have instituted a travel history questionnaire asking all patients registering if they have traveled

Signs and symptoms

outside the United States in the past 60 days,” said Robin Sevier, Union County public health nurse.

The purpose of the questionnaire is to determine if patients have traveled to or been exposed to others visiting countries affected by the Ebola virus.

“Our staff deal with isola-

tion practices every day, so, we are just enhancing those and ensuring that we have appropriate personal protective equipment on hand,” Sevier said.

What you can do Krogstad said the Ebola outbreak raises awareness of how illnesses are transmit-

Sevier said Ebola symptoms may appear anywhere from two to 21 days after exposure, but the average is eight to 10 days.

Symptoms of the Ebola virus include: Fever Severe headache Muscle pain Weakness Diarrhea Vomiting Abdominal (stomach) pain Unexplained hemorrhage (bleeding or bruising) The CDC claims recovery from Ebola is dependent on good supportive clinical care and the patient’s immune response. People who recover from Ebola infection develop antibodies that last for at least 10 years.

More information about Ebola can be found online at www.cdc.gov.

Iowa unemployment up to 4.6 DES MOINES (AP) — The unemployment rate in Iowa edged up slightly in September to 4.6 percent from 4.5 percent in August as the state’s labor force grew but the number of workers filing for unemployment also increased.

faces vehicular homicide charge

WINTERSET (AP) — A Winterset woman has been charged with vehicular homicide following a car crash in May that killed two people.

Court records show 21-year-old Mari Silliman faces two counts of vehicular homicide.

Des Moines television station KCCI reports she turned herself in earlier this month and is out after posting bond.

The single-vehicle crash in May killed 20-yearold Logan Waltz, of Winterset, and 21-year-old Taylor Aleman, of West Des Moines.

Matthew Thomas Lindholm, an attorney for Silliman, says his client plans to plead not guilty to the charges. He says alcohol and drugs were not a factor in the crash, and there will be an investigation into road conditions prior to the crash.

Graceland University placed on lockdown LAMONI (AP) — Officials at a small private university in southern Iowa say a student is being questioned after the school was briefly on lockdown because of a campus threat.

Deaths Richard L. Bassett Forsyth, Mo.

Richard Lee Bassett, 82, of Forsyth, Mo., died Aug. 15, 2014, of a heart attack while giving a eulogy for his moth- Bassett er-in-law’s memorial service in Greenfield.

As were his wishes, Dick was cremated. A celebration of Dick’s life will be held 10 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28, at Cornerstone Church, 2158 Highway 92, Greenfield. Burial will be private.

A memorial service was held 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23, at Calvary Church in Forsyth, Mo. Richard Lee Bassett, son of Helen A. (Flynn) and Perl F. Bassett, was born March 28, 1932, in Casey.

Dick graduated from Greenfield High School in 1949.

After graduating, Dick joined the U.S. Navy and served from 1950-54 during the Korean War. On June 5, 1955, Dick married Patsy Joan Lane at Hebron Methodist Church.

They farmed for four years in the Hebron area.

In 1959, Dick entered Iowa

State College and graduated with a primary Bachelor of Science degree in forestry and a minor in range in 1963.

Dick worked for the USDA Soil Conservation Service for four years in Iowa and USDA Forest Service in the Southwestern U.S. for 30 years. He retired in 1994.

They lived in Greenfield near his in-laws until August 2012 when they moved to Forsyth, Mo. Dick was a member of the Assemblies of God Church and helped in that church’s ministry, MAPS RV Volunteers. They traveled from Alaska to Hawaii from 1994 until 2012 helping build churches. He was a member of American Legion Post 265, Experimental Aircraft Association and National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association for which he wrote a monthly newsletter.

Dick is survived by his wife Joan Bassett of Forsyth, Mo.; sister Betty (husband George) Kirkland of Branson West, Mo.; brother-inlaw Gabby Lane of Fairplay, Colo.; and many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.

Dick was preceded in death by his parents and grandnephew Patrick Kirkland.

Northern Iowa county doubles beaver bounty FOREST CITY (AP) — Winnebago County in northern Iowa has doubled its bounty on beavers to $50.

County supervisors say an aging trapper who had kept the beaver population in check retired because of his physical limitations.

Mason City television station KIMT reports that beaver dams can cause damaging floods.

Officials say anyone turning in a beaver tail to claim the bounty has to prove the tail came from Winnebago County.

The Clintons, the Democrats’ 2014 super surrogates AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Defending their allies, Bill and Hillary Clinton are barnstorming the country for Democrats struggling through a bleak campaign season in states where President Barack Obama is deeply unpopular.

With speculation rampant about whether Hillary Rodham Clinton makes a second presidential run, the power couple has blanketed H. Clinton the political map this fall, attending fundraisers and get-out-thevote rallies for a long roster of Democratic candidates.

In states like Arkansas, Louisiana, North Carolina and Colorado, the Clintons are an asset at a time when many Democrats need a big name to help inspire supporters. The Clintons usually campaign for candidates on their own.

On the campaign trail, the former president, in particular, is in his element.

“I feel like an old racehorse in a stable and people just take me out and put me on the track and slap me on the rear to see if I can run around one more time,” the ex-president jokes at various stops.

Obama appeared at his first political rallies last weekend — in Democratic-friendly Maryland and his home state of Illinois — but the Clintons can go where the president might not be helpful.

For example, Bill Clinton starred in TV ads for Alison

■ With speculation rampant about whether Hillary Rodham Clinton makes a second presidential run, the power couple has blanketed the political map this fall, attending fundraisers and get-out-the-vote rallies for a long roster of Democratic candidates.

Lundergan Grimes in Kentucky, where Obama is so unpopular that Grimes has repeatedly refused to say whether she voted for him.

The couple is a powerful fundraising force that fuels voter turnout and give activists a taste of what could c o m e next.

“Some people excel at raising money. Some people excel at B. Clinton turning out voters. The Clintons excel at both,” said Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., who leads the House Democrats’ campaign arm. “There is not one single competitive district in the country where both don’t do well.”

Their campaign schedule is infused with anticipation of a second run for the White House by Hillary Clinton, former first lady, senator and secretary of state.

She’s expected to announce her decision after the November elections, a move that could boost morale should Democrats cede control of the Senate and lose seats in the House.

This week alone, Hillary Clinton hauled in an estimated $3.5 million in California for the campaign committees of House and Senate Democrats, including $2.1 million at a Hol-

lywood event with Democratic mega-donors Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg.

In Denver’s suburbs Tuesday, the former secretary of state vouched for Colorado Sen. Mark Udall — who’s locked in a tight race against Republican Rep. Cory Gardner — and Gov. John Hickenlooper, calling them “two of the most effective leaders in the country.”

People showing up for the rally had to fill out part of their ticket entitled, “I Pledge to Vote,” and hand in the stub at the door for admission. Campaign workers signed up attendees to work get-out-the-vote shifts.

It was Clinton’s second stop in the state in as many weeks. Last time, she strolled through Denver’s central train station with Udall, ensuring images of them on the local news.

Hillary Clinton’s itinerary this week includes events with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, a former Senate colleague; three rallies in New England with candidates running for governor; and a weekend appearance in Charlotte, N.C., with embattled North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan.

Bill Clinton is covering even more ground: Baton Rouge, La., for Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu on Monday; Chicago for Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and western Kentucky for

Woodbury County funding ruled conflict of interest

SIOUX CITY (AP) — Woodbury County’s attorney says it’s a conflict of interest for the county to give public money to an agency headed by the county board chairman.

Sanford operates after-school and summer programs for at-risk youth and coordinates numerous outreach efforts. It is headed

Boykin says he will seek regulatory changes so the center can still receive money for its gang prevention program.

He says that without the county’s funding, he’ll have to cut as many as five positions.

Grimes on Tuesday; Flint, Mich., and Long Island, N.Y., for Democratic candidates on Wednesday. Thursday brings a New Jersey fundraiser for Bonnie Watson Coleman, a congressional candidate; by Friday, Clinton will be in Syracuse, N.Y., for Rep. Dan Maffei and Milwaukee for Mary Burke, who is challenging Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

Yet no state personifies the Clintons’ campaign push more than Arkansas, where Bill Clinton was governor for more than a decade.

During the past two weeks, he has barnstormed the state at 10 events for Sen. Mark Pryor, Mike Ross, his one-time campaign driver who is running for governor, and a field of congressional candidates.

Bill Clinton’s visits have encouraged early voting among black voters and college students. Robert McLarty, the director of the state Democratic Party’s coordinated campaign, said Democrats have registered or re-registered 3,000 voters on college campuses at Clinton events and filled 8,500 get-out-the-vote shifts, the equivalent of someone committing to work a phone bank for 2 hours or canvass a neighborhood for 4 hours.

New Hampshire, the nation’s first presidential primary state, is also getting the Clinton treatment. Hillary Clinton will be there on the final Sunday before the election, helping a slate of female candidates, while Bill Clinton’s speech at the state party’s fall dinner drew a big crowd and raised $250,000.

OPINION On my list of fears, Ebola is low

The dogs and I were out for a walk in a city of half a million recently, waiting our turn to use the crosswalk at a busy intersection.

Schools were convening, people were rushing to work, traffic was heavy.

As I stood waiting, I noticed three of four drivers who passed were on phones, talking. I used extra caution before entering the crosswalk, aware that I and my canines probably weren’t as important as the conversations in those cars.

I wonder if it’s a head-in-thesand position I’m taking at this point to fear death by distracted driver more than death by Ebola virus. The number of infected victims in the U.S. remains in the single digits, after all. But the media

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

frenzy is reminiscent of Y2K, when people stockpiled water and food, and waited for The End. Yes, there should be caution and an educated Ebola plan in place.

Yes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should sharpen its act. Yes, there should be concern and continued compassion for West African countries where Ebola is rampant. Yes, things could turn on a dime and our nation could become a cesspool of viral danger. Yes, we should be stepping

up research for a cure for a threat that’s epidemic in other parts of the world.

But as U.S. citizens, should contracting Ebola be our greatest fear at this moment? No. I have a long list of things I fear more, including the aforementioned distracted drivers. About them: I can’t help but wonder if they were discussing, as is everyone else these days, fear of Ebola.

I fear, if hospitalized, getting a staph infection, or being one of the medical mistakes made annually that account for between 200,000 and 400,000 deaths, depending on what study you believe. Those numbers make death by medical mistake the third leading cause of all deaths behind only heart disease and cancer.

I fear going to one of those imperfect hospitals and running up a bill my health insurance doesn’t begin to cover.

I fear eating tainted food in a restaurant, or even at home.

I fear running out of money in retirement.

I fear another oil spill in the Gulf, hurricane season and tornados that come without warning.

I don’t fear flying, but I have an unreasonable dread of airports, not helped by the fact that my wristwatch recently and mysteriously disappeared from a plastic container while a Transportation Security Authority worker checked me for hidden weapons.

I fear gun violence, road rage, high speeds, high places, global warming, memory loss and weight

gain. I fear technology is outrunning our ability to use it responsibly. (See distracted drivers.)

Do I sit around and wring my hands about any of the above?

Well, maybe the weight-gain thing.

My biggest fear? That irresponsible news outlets and desperate politicians will use the specter of a plague to manipulate upcoming elections. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ...

Charlie Sheen broke off his engagement to fiancee HOLLYWOOD—Happy Wednesday, everybody, and God bless America.

President Obama went on radio Saturday to calm the nation over the Ebola problem. He declared that we’ve just turned the corner on diagnosis, on treatment, on airport testing and on hospital safety protocols. We’ve just turned four corners, we’re right back where we started.

Charlie Sheen broke off his engagement to fiancee Brett Rossi Sunday and she moved out of his bachelor mansion in Bel Air. She’s a porn star who still had a husband. When reporters asked how it’s possible to get caught up in such a sleazy situation, the porn star had no answer.

Peyton Manning broke Brett Favre’s NFL career TD passes record Sunday. Peyton went to college at Ole Miss and Brett went to Southern Mississippi. History is so mistaught in schools today that kids have to deduce from pro football that Southerners would rather fight than farm.

USA Today says many former Nazis expelled from the U.S. still receive their Social Security checks due to a bargain they struck to emigrate. This must end.

Every month when these old Nazis receive a check that’s marked from S.S. they can’t help thinking they are still in business.

John Kerry had to fly home commercial from Vienna Sunday when his State Department Boeing jet broke down. You can’t conduct U.S. foreign policy on a commercial flight. The Kurds rallied and defeated ISIS in the twenty minutes he wasn’t allowed to use his hand-held device before takeoff.

President Obama spoke at a

Democratic Party rally in Upper Marlborough, Maryland on Sunday. He was heckled by the black crowd who walked out on him.

Fearing that this could spread President Obama immediately halted all flights into the U.S. from Upper Marlborough.

Joe Biden’s chief of staff Ron Klain was named the Ebola Czar by the president last week. He is just getting settled into his new office. So far the most difficult part of his job is getting people to shake hands with him after he introduces himself as the Ebola Czar.

A Carnival Cruise liner returned to Galveston Sunday after Mexican ports denied it entry because one of those Dallas Ebola nurses was on the ship. Health officials confirmed that she had tested negative for Ebola. How terrible is your cruise when even Ebola won’t get on board?

The CDC released new rules to help protect hospital nurses treating Ebola patients. They have to wear protective head and body covering with no skin showing.

Thank goodness there are nurses in porn movies so we can prove to the world we have not surrendered to Sharia Law. Dallas Presbyterian Hospital cleared dozens of hospital workers of Ebola Monday after three weeks passed since exposure. The outbreak was terrible publicity for the city. On the bright side a new poll showed Americans no longer associate Dallas with the JFK assassination.

Letters to the editor

Decorations bring cheer From Marsha Wilson Creston

This isn’t one of my normal letter’s to the editor. ... I am sure some of you will think I have lost what little mind I have or maybe that retirement was such a good idea for me ... since I seem to have time to notice more things.

I don’t go to the doctor all that much, but I do go out there several times a month to pick up prescriptions for my mom. If I was having a bad day, or just one of those days, the decorations at the main desk of the clinic always helped to brighten my mood. Several times while waiting out there I have heard

Anderson’s ‘Safe at Home’ plan is long overdue in Iowa

All letters reflect solely the opinion of the writer and are not necessarily the opinion of the Creston News Advertiser.

both young and old comment on how cheery it was, and made it enjoyable to look at. Now going to the doctor isn’t everyone’s favorite thing, but if there is something there to help make a person smile, or comment how pretty and bright the decorations are, then why or who in the world decided a plain old fake green plant should sit where the decoration used to be?

Yes, it is a clinic, and yes, we are there for treatment not to be entertained, but really one little wall full of seasonal decorations, it just might help a lonely person have a little joy in this world today, there isn’t much to be bright about. ...

Just sayin.

From Monica McCarthy, chairman, Union County Democrats Creston

Secretary of State candidate Brad Anderson has proposed a plan to help protect survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault that is long overdue here in Iowa. It is known as “Safe at Home.”

Today, it’s difficult for these survivors to keep their home address confidential in Iowa. While 35

states have already implemented similar plans, including our neighboring states of Missouri and Minnesota, Iowa has lagged behind.

This is a simple program that gives participants a substitute address that they can list on state and local forms instead of their real address. This helps keep their location confidential, and keep them and their family out of harm’s way.

The program has the added benefit of making it more likely that these survivors will participate

in elections. It allows them to list their substitute address on voter databases. The Secretary of State’s office will work with local election officials to ensure confidentiality.

Now they will have the freedom to express their right to VOTE. Brad Anderson knows that everyone deserves a voice and is willing to take the initiative to address loopholes like this in Iowa law.

That’s why I am supporting Brad Anderson as our next Secretary of State.

BUSINESS/FARM NRCS to grant variances for 2015 crop season Women Managing DES MOINES — USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has announced that variances may be granted for crop season 2015 to Iowa farmers who need to meet highly erodible land (HEL) requirements, following damaging weather earlier this year.

Because of 2014 rainfall events, planting the 2015 crop could be difficult or impossible because of severe rill and ephemeral erosion.

Hail in areas also destroyed crops, raising the concern over crop residue levels for spring 2015.

Variances are only available for farmers in counties that have requested and been approved for them.

Farmers must make a written request prior to any spot tillage.

Below are variances for the 2015 crop year: • Variance 1 – Spot Treatment of Rill Erosion. Farmers will be allowed to spot till portions of the field planned for no-till to eliminate excessive rill erosion and allow the field to be planted.

“This does not allow a producer to till an entire field,” said Barb Stewart,

state agronomist for NRCS in Iowa. “Only till the areas with rill erosion that would prevent successful planting.”

For this request to be approved, ephemeral areas must be tilled and seeded immediately after harvest to a winter hardy grain cover crop, such as cereal rye or winter wheat.

• Variance 2 – Residue Amounts Are Less Than the Planned Amounts. For fields hit with hail in 2014, producers may have less than the planned amount of residue after planting.

Fields that required no-till

are expected to be no-till planted unless spot tillage is allowed, per Variance 1.

Variances do not apply to tracts where permanent practices, such as grassed waterways, water and sediment control basins, terraces, or field borders, are needed to control ephemeral gully erosion and those practices were not in place or were not maintained.

Producers need to meet certain requirements to be eligible for a variance. Visit or call your local NRCS office for additional questions regarding 2015 crop year variances.

Cover crop planting deadline extended DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said farmers participating in the state cost share programs who are intending to plant cover crops have until Nov. 1 to get the cover crops planted and still qualify for assistance.

This extension is only available for winter-hardy, small grains that are likely to establish yet this fall, specifically winter rye, triticale and wheat. Other species such as, oats, radishes,

turnips and legumes are not likely to provide the desired growth to be effective this late in the season. There are an estimated 108,000 acres of cover crops supported by state cost share programs.

“Everything has been behind this year due to delayed planting, cool temperatures and the wet fall, so some farmers have been unable to get cover crops planted as timely as they had anticipated,” Northey said. “Based on the re-

search available in Iowa, November 1 is still a reasonable date to get certain species of cover crops seeded. It may be necessary for farmers to work with their seed vendor to alter the mix they had planned to use.”

The recommended cutoff date for seeding cover crops in Iowa previously was Oct. 15. The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship in consultation with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) have decided

the date could be extended.

Guidance from Iowa State University confirmed cover crops planted after this date still have the potential to provide substantial reduction in nutrient losses and soil erosion, so the department extended the deadline until Nov. 1.

Farmers who had been approved for cost share assistance and are still unable to get cover crops seeded should contact their local Soil and Water Conservation District office.

IFGC Conference focuses on forages DES MOINES — The 2014 Iowa Forage and Grassland Council (IFGC) Conference will be held Nov. 25 at the Des Moines Airport Holiday Inn. The event begins with registration at 8 a.m., followed by the IFGC annual meeting at 9 a.m., and is open to anyone interested in forage and grassland issues.

“The keynote speaker is Dr. Peter Ballerstedt, forage production manager at Barenbrug USA,” Sellers said. “He’s written numer-

ous article and publications, including a blog focused on human nutrition, health and diet. His presentation is titled, ‘Forages Make Meat, Meat is Medicine.’”

Convention preregistration is $40 per person which includes sessions and lunch when registered prior to the event, with onsite registration increasing to $50 per person. The dues year from IFGC membership runs

from Jan. 1–Dec. 31. Producer and public fee is $35, and industry fee is $90, and this is payable on the registration form, as well.

The registration form is available on the IBC website http://www.iowabeefcenter.org/events/IFGCconfreg2014.pdf.

Cattle course to be held in Clarinda CLARINDA — Iowa State University Extension (ISU) and Outreach is offering Women Managing Cattle in Clarinda. The course will be held 6 to 9 p.m. Nov. 6, 13, and 20 at Page County Extension, 311 E. Washington St. Women Managing Cattle gives farm women the opportunity to interact with others who face the same challenges of bringing cattle to market. Sessions provide education and support materials for costs of production, marketing plans, alternative markets, pasture management and pasture watering options.

Instructors from ISU Extension and Outreach are Tim Eggers, field agricultural economist; Joe Sellers, beef field specialist; and Shawn Shouse, field agricultural engineer. All three have been helping farm

families meet their business goals for many years.

“Higher prices mean there is more at risk when deciding to sell at weaning, backgrounding, or finishing,” said Eggers. “We will provide the resources and tools participants need to make decisions based on their herds.”

The cost for Women Managing Cattle is $50, which includes support materials and a light dinner.

Enrollment is limited to encourage lively discussion.

Registration is due by Nov. 3. Page County Agricultural Extension District is sponsoring the course.

For more information and to register, call Page County Extension at 712542-5171, or send an e-mail message to Heidi Carter, Page County Extension director, at heidic@iastate. edu.

The art of slow cooking Dear Readers: Isn’t it nice to come home at the end of a long day to the fabulous smells of a great meal?

You can, and all it takes is a SLOW COOKER and a little planning. Here are a few hints so you can have a tasty and safe-to-eat meal: • Don’t place frozen meats in the slow cooker. All meats should be thoroughly thawed before being placed in the slow cooker.

• Do make sure you add enough liquid so the meat cooks evenly.

• Don’t peek! It is so tempting to lift that lid and take a look, but don’t! Every time you lift the lid, it may add 20 more minutes to the cooking time.

• Do make note of the recipes that turn out super, as well as the ones that don’t.

— Heloise SMASHING GARLIC Dear Heloise: I enjoy watching cooking shows, and I always see professional cooks smashing garlic cloves with the side of a big knife.

Way too scary for me! I won’t even try it, because I know I will cut my hand! So I came up with the hint to smash gar-

Hints from Heloise lic under a metal spatula. It’s a safer technique for me. — Diane T. in Pennsylvania POTATO SOUP Dear Heloise: After a Sunday dinner, I had a lot of cheesy scalloped potatoes left over. Hearing me wonder out loud what to do with them, my 12-year-old grandson said, “Make potato soup!”

Good idea! I just warmed up some milk, added the cheesy potatoes and mashed them a bit, and it was delicious! — M. Moger, Temple, Texas Smart grandson! Why waste something good when you can turn it into a tasty dish? Soups are a great meal that can start like yours did.

This is a very smart way to use leftovers for something “new” and not waste money, either. There are many yummy soup recipes and hints in my six-page Heloise’s Spectacular Soups pamphlet. To receive one, please send $5 and a long, self-addressed,

Kansas City’s 11game postseason win streak was snapped Tuesday, 1 game short of tying the MLB record.

National Digest

Giants win KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — By the time Madison Bumgarner took the mound to throw his first pitch, the San Francisco Giants already held a three-run lead.

It might as well have been 100 with the way MadBum and this orange-and-black bunch play in the World Series.

Bumgarner took a shutout into the seventh inning, Hunter Pence homered early and the Giants showed off their October poise, putting a sudden stop to the Kansas City Royals’ perfect postseason roll by romping 7-1 in the Series opener Tuesday night.

From the get-go, the Giants simply did everything right to win their seventh straight World Series game. There’s a reason they’re trying for their third title in five years.

The Royals, meanwhile, looked nothing like the fresh team that had become baseball’s darling by starting the playoffs with eight wins in a row — back on the field after a five-day layoff, their pitching, hitting and fielding all deserted them.

The fates seemed to change from the very first batter, in fact. Gregor Blanco led off with a soft line drive to center field, and AL Championship Series MVP Lorenzo Cain charged, then backed off as the ball fell for a single. It would’ve taken a near-miracle to catch it, but that’s the kind of play the Royals had been making on a routine basis.

Moments later, Pence’s homer highlighted a three-run burst in the first inning against James Shields. Nicknamed “Big Game James,” he once again failed to live up to that billing and left in the fourth when the Giants made it 5-0.

The Royals will try to get even in Game 2 tonight when rookie Yordano Ventura starts against veteran Jake Peavy.

Sentenced PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistorius was sentenced to five years in prison Tuesday for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, completing a transformation from an acclaimed sprinter at the 2012 Olympics to a convicted criminal led away in a police van with barred windows.

Wearing a dark suit, the double-amputee athlete was subdued when Judge Thokozile Masipa announced the punishment in a Pretoria courtroom, ending a televised trial that was closely followed at home and abroad by those who once admired him.

The man known as the “Blade Runner” because of his carbon-fiber running blades will have to serve 10 months, or one-sixth of his sentence, in prison before he is eligible to be moved to house arrest, legal analysts say.

Tigers sweep O-M in regional opener Panthers fall in final

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

ORIENT — Lenox rolled to a 25-13, 25-14, 25-7 sweep of Orient-Macksburg here on Tuesday in a Class 1A Region 3 opening round match.

Lenox, now 6-17 for the season, advances to next Tuesday’s second-round match at Griswold against the Tigers, which defeated Essex on Tuesday, 3-0. Orient-Macksburg ends its season with a record of 3-18.

Right from the beginning of the match, Lenox showed it came ready to play, bolting to a 9-0 lead with Morgan Miller at the service line.

That 9-0 run was punctuated by a Jacy Stoaks stuff block and a Katie Dukes kill.

“The girls came out and played a lot harder than they did last time,” Lenox head coach Sara Dukes said.

“Sometimes we get down.

They’ve come a long way in a week and a half in working on their confidence.”

The Tigers breezed through the first game, as Aurora Arevalo put the finishing touches on the win with a kill from the back row.

But Orient-Macksburg showed some fight in the second game, taking an 8-7 lead on a Brooklyn Sammons ace that forced a Le-

nox timeout.

“Second game was a little rough for us,” coach Dukes said. “We’ve got to play some clean ball if we’re going to keep going. Just have to keep working on it.”

Orient-Macksburg head coach Katie Geidel noted her team’s improved serving over the past several matches, which she said helped the team, especially in the early run in game two.

“Their hustle was better,” Geidel said of her team in the second game. “I feel like we’re young. Sometimes we just let our emotions get the best of us, but it’s really fun Please see TIGERS, page 10A

Lenox senior Katie Dukes smacks a kill around the Orient-Macksburg defense of Shannon Eads (4) and Shyla Waldhauser (6) during the first game of Lenox’s 3-0 sweep of the Bulldogs on Tuesday in a Class 1A Region 3 opener. Dukes finished with a matchhigh 15 kills.

Spartans win five-set battle It was comeback night for the Southwestern volleyball team here Tuesday.

The Spartans won in five sets against Grand View JV, 25-27, 25-23, 27-25, 1825, 15-8.

“We were down by at least five or six points in the second and third sets, but we fought back and won,” said Spartan coach Ting Liu. “We had good teamwork tonight.”

Carmen Subbert had 22 kills to lead SWCC’s all-freshm a n team.

Brusha Cobbs a d d e d Subbert 15 kills.

Subbert, Bailey Preston and Natali Donahue each had 12 digs in the defensive effort.

Cobbs fired three service aces along with a team-high 18 digs and Preston finished with 37 setting assists.

Southwestern (9-24) hosts triangular action Friday, taking on Highland Community College (Kan.) at 3 p.m. and Marshalltown Community College at 7 p.m. Those two teams face off at 5 p.m.

Marshalltown is a Division I member of the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference with a 1522 record.

tuneup before regionals

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — The Creston volleyball team, ranked 15th in Class 4A, gave a spirited effort here Tuesday, but fell to Class 3A No. 3 Red Oak 25-17, 15-25, 2624, 25-19 in the team’s final tuneup before regional play begins on Monday.

The loss drops Creston to 20-7 for the season and 6-4 in Hawkeye 10 Conference play. The Panthers finish tied for third in the conference with Lewis Central. Red Oak improved to 30-7 overall and 9-1 in the Hawkeye 10, good enough for a second place finish.

“We didn’t play too bad,” Creston head coach Polly Luther said. “My back row really did a nice job. After the first game, they really did a nice job for us. I was really pleased with what we came with. We have some things to fine tune and work on, and we know that, so that we’re ready for Monday.”

Luther said her team came out of the gates slow in the first game, before eventually playing better toward the end of the game.

But Red Oak still picked up a 25-17 win in that first game.

But, the Panthers’ play toward the end of that game carried over to the start of the second game, as Creston got out to a good start en route to a 25-15 win, evening the match at 1-1.

“We started slow and then kind of came on at the

end,” Luther said. “I think that just kind of carried over. New game, we started out strong and never let them get into it. Third game we started out strong again, and had some lapses there where we maybe didn’t communicate as we should, and let them back in.

“Once you let a good team back in, they’re going to come back at you.

The girls played hard. We just can’t have any lapses against good teams.”

The Panthers had built a 15-9 lead in the third game, but Red Oak battled back to tie it at 16-16, before taking a 22-20 lead.

Creston forged a tie at 24-24, but the Tigers scored the final two points of the set to take a commanding 2-1 lead.

“We walked in tonight and it’s always a little bit intimidating,” Luther said.

“Number 3 team in the state. The Red Oak crowd is always an imposing atmosphere. The girls came out and played tough. We had some other girls step up.

Kind of a carryover from the weekend where we had some other girls step up.”

The Panthers had a balanced attack at the net, led by Jenna Taylor’s 12 kills.

Missed opportunity costs Wolverines in road defeat

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

URBANDALE — Nodaway Valley was on the cusp of drawing even in the match at 1-1, making it the kind of competitive battle one might expect from a 19-10 team (NV) taking on a 21-12 team (Des Moines Christian) in a Class 2A regional opener Tuesday hosted by the Lions.

After falling 25-16 in the opening set, Nodaway Valley came to life in the second contest to take a 20-18 lead. Twice, the Wolverines served for set point.

But, Des Moines Chris-

tian hung tough when there was no margin for error, and ended up squeezing out a 27-25 win to take a 2-0 lead.

That seemed to put the Wolverines on their heels in falling behind 6-1 early in the third set. There was a brief revival, but Des Moines Christian would not relinquish the momentum in finishing out a 25-16 win for the sweep.

The Lions advance to play at 23-11 Pella Christian, a team formerly ranked during the season, in a quarterfinal round match. Nodaway Valley’s season ends, a campaign that included a late-season

charge for a Pride of Iowa Conference Tournament championship.

Afterward, NV coach Hannah West was left wondering what might have happened if her squad had finished off the second set to pull even. Emily Schildberg was serving for set point at 24-23, but Des Moines Christian star hitter Brynn Reichardt slammed one of her 15 kills. On the final two points of the 2725 loss, Nodaway Valley hit an attack long and another into the net.

“The girls came out and did a nice job tonight,” Southwest Valley head coach Lindsay Wetzel said.

“We served aggressively and built a nice lead, which allowed us to get other kids some playing time. We were also able to mix up the lineup and try some different offensive sets.”

Marie Palmer led a balanced attack at the net for the Timberwolves with 11 kills. Jade Petersen contributed six kills, while Danica Sunderman finished with four. Kelsey Means added three. Allie Bronner and Nichole Bashor each recorded two kills.

Macy Larsen is out with a torn ACL and will have sur-

gery on Thursday. Kirsten Dolecheck missed the match with a hip ailment.

“Not mentally prepared,” Murray head coach Jerry Shields said. “I give a lot of credit to Diagonal in the first set. They came out ready to play. We missed too many serves and only had one ace in the first set. our passing wasn’t where it needed to be

tonight.”

Jade Lecy led the Lady Mustangs with 13 kills and five blocks.

Hannah Barber, in her return to the M u r r a y Lecy lineup, recorded 12 kills. Madison Gonseth had 11 kills, while Shelby Myers added seven and served three aces on 17-of-18 serving.

Upsets leave Big 12’s playoff chances in peril

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

DES MOINES (AP) — The Big 12 has been as entertaining as any league in the country.

All that fun might come with a price.

Recent upsets like West Virginia beating Baylor and Kansas State surprising Oklahoma have made the conference impossible to ignore — at least during the regular season. They might also cost the Big 12 a spot in the inaugural College Football Playoff.

“There’s just not any one week where you can actually feel surprised by the outcome,” Baylor coach Art Briles said.

It’s a trend that’s done significant damage to the CFP hopes of the Big 12’s top contenders.

The Sooners, the preseason favorites, have two losses. Baylor already has a loss and a trip to Oklahoma on Nov. 8.

League-leading Kansas State has one loss — to No. 5 Auburn — and it’s now ranked 11th in the country. But the Wildcats (5-1, 3-0 Big 12) still have to play No. 10 TCU and No. 12 Baylor on the road.

The Horned Frogs (5-1, 2-1) lost at Baylor in a wild shootout, but they have to survive a trip to West Virginia.

It appears as though parity is at its peak in the Big 12. That might not be a good thing in a four-team

playoff era.

“Each week things get shaken up,” Kansas interim coach Clint Bowen said.

“Every week it’s a battle.”

TCU hosts Texas Tech (3-4, 1-3) this weekend, followed by a crucial road game against the 22ndranked Mountaineers (5-2, 3-1). If they can get past West Virginia — and that’s a big if given how well the Mountaineers have been playing — they should be favored in each of their final four games.

There are just three unbeaten power conference teams left, and Ole Miss and Mississippi State still have to play each other.

So a one-loss TCU team would likely get a look from the CFP selection committee.

Coach Gary Patterson knows better than to look ahead.

“In this league, you just need to hold onto your hat,” he said. “For us, if there’s anything we’ve learned in the last few weeks is you’ve got to keep your nose down and understand that everyone can play.”

After playing Oklahoma, Baylor (6-1, 3-1) finishes the season by hosting Kansas State and then Oklahoma State on Nov. 22. For now, the Bears will host struggling Kansas (25, 0-4) on Saturday. Oklahoma has the week off before playing at Iowa State (2-5, 0-4).

“Every team is good.

If you make a mistake or two, you’re going to be on the wrong end of it. Everybody’s got talented players. But the league’s full of good coaches. It’s a challenge every week,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said.

Kansas State’s home loss to Auburn, now ranked 5th, looks better with each passing week. But the Wildcats might still need to finish the second half of the season undefeated to earn CFP consideration, and their schedule is loaded.

Kansas State finishes the year with trips to TCU, West Virginia and Baylor sandwiched around a rivalry game with Kansas. The Wildcats (6-1, 3-0) host hard-to-figure Texas (3-4, 2-2) on Saturday.

A loss to the Longhorns could doom K-State’s playoff hopes. But coach Bill Snyder is more concerned with beating Texas than worrying about the possible ramifications of a loss.

“I have absolutely no idea. All we hear about is the final four, so to speak, and that’s the last thing, I think, on most coaches’ minds. I think everybody is trying to fight week by week,” Snyder said when asked if a two-loss Big 12 team might still make the playoffs. “I don’t think about it.” ___ Follow Luke Meredith on Twitter: www.twitter. com/LukeMeredithAP

WOLVERINES: Continued from page 7A

“It was just kind of heartbreaking when we had a lot of momentum going, and they came back to get that win,” Nodaway Valley coach Hannah West said. “Then I think we kind of thought the match was over and let down. We had to remind them that you always have to work hard.

It’s not over.”

Des Moines Christian coach Paige Thiner said Nodaway Valley showed a stronger defense than she’d seen in videotapes of Wolverine matches, and was pleased her team could pull out the two-point win.

“They were picking up everything we were hitting at them, and we made some service errors in that second game,” Thiner said.

“Finally, at the end, we were getting our serves in and that was key for us.”

Reichardt, ranked fifth in the state in Class 2A for kills per set, was a force against the Wolverines.

The 5-11 senior finished with 15 kills and 18 digs.

Schildberg finished with a team-high eight kills for Nodaway Valley, and Paige McElfish had six. McElfish also had 15 digs and Jessica Nelson had four blocks.

Josie Carter had 16 setting as- Carter sists and Corrine Jones added five.

“That’s a tough team,” Thiner said. “They worked hard and played a good game defensively. If I could ask the people who set this (bracket) up, I’d be asking about it!”

Opening against a team

that had won 21 matches, on their court, was a tough first-round draw for the POI champs.

“We definitely got dealt a pretty tough hand,” West said. “It would not have been easy at all, even if we had won tonight. We’ve been faced with some adversity. Mackenzie Meisenheimer has been out for a few weeks, and some of our girls were sick tonight and not quite able to step up to the level of before.

But that’s not why we lost.

We just had to find a way to play with it.”

West praised the relentless attack of Des Moines Christian.

“They were great players,” West said. “They were a scrappy team. Unfortunately, they were more aggressive than we were tonight.”

In her second season, West saw noticeable progress in her squad that loses seniors Carter, Sidney Hohertz, Rachel Hight, Payge Newbury, Jones and libero Katy Ehrsam to graduation.

“We really did have a good season,” West said.

“We came out with a conference championship and overall we’re proud of the girls.”

Coming out of the timeout, the two teams traded points to make it 9-8 in favor of Orient-Macksburg, before Lenox ended the game on a 17-5 run.

Dukes sparked the run with a block and a kill, while

Bethany Christensen served back-to-back aces to make it 18-12. Arevalo recorded a block to make it 21-14, which then put Arevalo on the service line. She served out the remaining four points, ending the game with back-to-back aces.

The two teams went back and forth early in the third game, as Orient-Macksburg got an ace serve from Shannon Eads and Court-

ney Neal ended a long rally with a kill, closing the score to 6-4.

But Lenox went on a mini-run to take a 12-7 lead, and then Dukes and Stoaks smacked back-to-back kills that ignited a 13-0 run to end the match for the Tigers, as Miller put the finishing touches on it with an ace.

Miller served 32-of-33 for the match with nine a c e s .

Dukes led the Tigers with 15 kills and six digs.

S t o a k s Miller added six kills with three total blocks.

“Morgan Miller always comes out and does a good job for us, which is really key,” coach Dukes said.

“We also had a couple other girls doing a really good job for us. Aurora Arevalo and Jacy Stoaks has really come a long way for us this year.”

The loss for Orient-Macksburg marked the final match for seniors Eads and Neal in a Bulldog uniform.

“We are going to miss our seniors,” Geidel said. “They were good leaders. Shannon and Courtney have played a lot of volleyball over the years. We played with five freshmen. We have some eighth-graders coming up that I know are excited.

We’re excited to see where next year takes us.”

Freshmen

Junior varsity The Creston JV team bounced back from a loss in game one to beat Red Oak on Tuesday, 28-30, 27-25, 15-6.

Ashley Harris and Nicole Haley each recorded six kills. Gracie Russell served 17-of-17.

“Our team showed fight,” Creston JV coach Jessie McClellan said.

“They wanted to win their last game, so they did. I’ve had so much fun coaching these girls. They are all great kids!”

Red Oak defeated the Creston freshmen 25-12, 2516, 25-18, 4-8 here on Tuesday.

“We played very competitively after game one,” Creston freshman coach Mike McCabe said. “It was 16-16 in game two before nine straight and 17-16 in game three before a late run.”

Faith Wilson served 13of-14 for Creston, while Kiersten Latham was 8-8 and Mykenna Hribal finished 9-10. Macy Andreasen served 5-5 and Victoria Borha finished 3-3.

Record crowd sees Bearcats’ win streak end MARYVILLE, MO. — Pittsburg State’s stunning 35-17 victory over topranked Northwest Missouri State Saturday would have been satisfying for the Gorillas at Arrowhead Stadium, where the rivalry had been contested the previous 12 years.

It was even sweeter in

front of a record crowd of 11,002 at Bearcat Stadium.

“To beat them here, it was amazing,” said Pitt State safety Deron Washington, whose 45-yard fumble return for a touchdown in the third quarter restored momentum to the Gorillas.

The outcome ended Northwest Missouri State’s

21-game winning streak that included last season’s NCAA Championship run and throws the MIAA race into a three-team deadlock with the Bearcats joining Pittsburg State and Central Oklahoma at 6-1.

The 17th-ranked Gorillas came out hot against the team that entered the game

ranked first in Division II in total defense. Defensive tackle Collin Bevins of Creston played in the game for Northwest.

Northwest is now in the position that Pitt faced Saturday. The Bearcats can’t afford another loss if they want to make the playoffs.

Government ups air bag warning to 7.8M vehicles DETROIT (AP) — The U.S. government is telling 3 million more car owners to get their air bags repaired immediately, but its message has generated some confusion about which cars are actually affected.

The government’s auto safety agency is now warning 7.8 million car owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed.

The original warning Monday covered 4.7 million vehicles.

Safety advocates say at least four people have died from the problem, which they claim could affect more than 20 million cars nationwide. The inflators are made

by Japanese parts supplier Takata Corp.

Car owners might experience some uncertainty, however, in determining if their vehicle is equipped with the potentially dangerous air bags. The warnings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration cover certain models made by BMW, Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Mazda, Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru and Toyota.

Most of the 7.8 million vehicles are subject to existing recalls. But manufacturers have limited the recalls to high-humidity areas, excluding cars and trucks in states to the North. NHTSA says owners in Florida, Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Hawaii and “limited areas near the Gulf of Mexico in Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Louisiana” should pay special attention to the warning.

Worse yet, the regulatory agency has twice corrected the number of vehicles af-

fected and admitted that a list it released Monday included some cars not equipped with Takata air bags while omitting others that have them.

The agency urged people to use its website see if their cars are affected — but a feature allowing people to check for recalls by vehicle identification number malfunctioned Tuesday and still wasn’t operational Wednesday morning.

Automakers have been recalling cars to fix the problem for several years, but neither Takata nor NHTSA have identified a firm cause. The agency opened a formal investigation into the problem in June, and agency documents detail a theory that the chemical used to inflate the air bags can be altered by high humidity, making it explode with too much force while deploying.

“It’s in a total state of uproar right now,” said Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety, a nonprofit advocacy group founded by Ralph Nader.

NHTSA Deputy Administrator David Friedman said in a statement that responding to the recalls is essential to keep people safe.

“It will aid in our ongoing investigation into Takata air bags and what appears to be a problem related to extended exposure to consistently high humidity and tempera-

Metal fragments The government’s auto safety agency is now warning 7.8 million car owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The original warning Monday covered 4.7 million vehicles. Safety advocates say at least four people have died from the problem, which they claim could affect more than 20 million cars nationwide. tures,” he said. The agency, he said, is tracking down the “full geographic scope” of the issue.

The rare warning by regulators comes three weeks after a Sept. 29 crash near Orlando, Florida, that claimed the life Hien Thi Tran, who suffered severe neck wounds that investigators said could have been caused by metal fragments flying out of the air bag on her 2001 Honda Accord. Her Accord was among the models being recalled.

One police agency concluded that the air bags caused her wounds, while another is still investigating.

NHTSA is seeking information in the case.

On Monday, Toyota issued a recall covering passenger air bags in 247,000 older model vehicles including the Lexus SC, Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia and Tundra. Like many earlier recalls, Toyota’s covers vehicles in South Florida, along the Gulf Coast, in Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa

— all areas that have high absolute humidity.

Toyota said it’s working with Takata to pinpoint the cause of the rupture and to gauge the influence of high absolute humidity, which is a measurement of water vapor in the air.

DUBUQUE (AP) — An Iowa farmer says someone has stolen about $18,000 worth of soybeans from 18 acres on his farm in Illinois.

The Dubuque Telegraph Herald reports Matt Schuster of La Motte, Iowa, says he is missing more than 1,600 bushels after someone took the crops in East Dubuque. He says he noticed the theft when he checked on the land over the weekend.
