Children are encouraged to dress up in Halloween costumes and collect treats from 43 local businesses during the 17th-annual Bright Eyes in the Park in Creston.

The safe trick-or-treating event, hosted by Creston Animal Rescue Effort (CARE), will be from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Saturday at McKinley Park by the bear.

Last year, 521 children attended.

Cost for the event is $5 per child with no fee for accompanying adults.

Picture cards by Brenda Strauss will be available for an additional $2. Picture cards will be mailed directly to families purchasing them.

“The card has a picture of your kid,

and she puts it on a little greeting card with a Halloween decoration. It’ll say ‘Bright Eyes 2016’ with a picture taken in the photo booth,” said Mycale Downey, CARE director.

Downey still welcomes volunteers and additional businesses. Volunteers wishing to help decorate the park beforehand will meet at 11 a.m. Saturday. Anyone interested in volunteering or setting up a table may contact Downey at 641-782-2330.

“We have participated ever since I have been here, so at least 15 years,” said Mindy Butcher, veterinary technician at Creston Veterinary Clinic.

“The event provides a safe place for the kids to be, and it’s a good fundraiser for (CARE). They usually have a pretty good turnout.”

All proceeds will go toward needs for animals at the city pound.

“Most of it is for veterinary work, for feed and cat litter and for advertising,” Downey said.

Also in Creston, citywide trick-ortreating will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday.

Other area trick-ortreating times Afton – from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday Bedford – from 5 to 6 p.m. Monday, downtown; city-wide is Monday with no set times Corning – from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Friday for “safe trick or treat;” from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Monday Greenfield – from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday; “Spook the Loop” is from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Monday Lenox – from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday Murray – from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Monday Orient – from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday

GREENFIELD — James Jeffrey Reese, Toni Lynn Reese and Shane Sim Blackford were charged on Adair County warrants after a lengthy investigation by Adair County Sheriff’s Office.

According to a press release sent Monday, the investigation culminated in three search warrants being executed Sept. 22 in Bridgewater. After examining all physical evidence seized and other relevant information, complaints alleging 18 criminal violations were filed and arrest warrants for five individuals were obtained.

There are currently outstanding warrants for Julie Ann Holmes and Duane Allen Funke.

James, 61, of Bridgewater was charged on an Adair County warrant for ongoing criminal conduct via criminal networking, gathering

where controlled substances are used and second-offense possession of a controlled substance.

According to an Adair County Sheriff report, during the execution of a search warrant at James’ residence, a methamphetamine pipe and glass jar with methamphetamine were located in James’ bedroom. A methamphetamine pipe was also located in each bedroom of the other residents, as well as there being several methamphetamine pipes in the living room. James has also made property at 319 N. Main St. and 402 N. Main St. in Bridgewater available to a criminal network for the storing of stolen property on a continuing basis. Property determined to be stolen was recovered at James’ residence, having ADAIR | 2A

Group wants to turn school into housing for vets DUBUQUE (AP) — A Chicago-based nonprofit group wants to turn a former school into affordable apartments for disabled veterans in Dubuque.

The Dubuque Telegraph Herald reports Full Circle Communities will ask the city zoning board Thursday to approve variances to the minimum lot size and parking requirements. The downtown site is the former St. Patrick Elementary

School.

Full Circle Communities intends to buy the site from the social service organization Four Oaks, which has been using the site to provide family support, child welfare and community treatment programs.

Full Circle plans to invest $6 million to turn the former school into 36 one- and two-bedroom apartments that will accommodate people with disabilities.

CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — The developer of the Dakota Access oil pipeline said Tuesday that the dozens of protesters who have camped on company-owned land since the weekend are trespassing and that “lawless behavior will not be tolerated.”

Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners said in a statement that it wants all protesters to vacate its land in North Dakota immediately.

“Alternatively and in coordination with local law enforcement and county/ state officials, all trespassers will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and

removed from the land,” the statement said.

American Indians and others who oppose the construction of the four-state oil pipeline set up the new camp of tents and teepees Sunday, moving their long-running protest directly in the project’s path for the first time.

Many of those gathered at the encampment have vowed they will stay put until the 1,172-mile long pipeline is scrapped. They argue that the land, which was recently purchased by Energy Transfer Partners from a rancher, rightfully belongs PIPELINE | 2A

to Native Americans under a more than century-old treaty.

“We never ceded this land,” Joye Braun, a protest organizer, said in a statement Monday. She could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday on the company’s statement.

Earlier in the week, the local sheriff’s office said the protesters were trespassing but that it wouldn’t immediately remove the more than 100 people because it didn’t have the manpower.

Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said at a news conference Monday that authorities put out a call for help earlier this month and six states are sending officers. He would not say if the goal was to remove the protesters.

Safety remains the No. 1 priority, and authorities are attempting to negotiate with camp leaders, he said.

Morton County authorities did not return telephone calls Tuesday seeking comment on the company’s

been possessed by Blackford, Mark Steil and Holmes, all of which are tenants of James’ residence.

Toni, 53, of Bridgewater was charged on an Adair County warrant for ongoing criminal conduct via criminal networking, gathering where controlled substances are used, control of a firearm or offensive weapon by a felon, and third- or subsequent-offense possession of a controlled substance.

According to an Adair County Sheriff report, during the execution of a search warrant, a methamphetamine pipe and glass jar with methamphetamine were located in Toni’s room. A methamphetamine pipe was also located in each bedroom of the other residents, as well as there being several methamphetamine pipes in the living room.

Also, a .243-caliber rifle, le-

statement and whether it affected the plans to not immediately remove the protesters.

Energy Transfer Partners also did not return messages and phone calls seeking further comment.

The $3.8 billion pipeline, most of which has been completed, crosses through North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois. Opponents worry about potential effects on drinking water on the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s reservation and farther downstream on the Missouri River, as well as destruction of cultural artifacts, including burial sites.

The newly established camp is about a mile from the Missouri River. Some preparation work had been done there but no pipe has been placed, officials have said.

On Monday, dozens of people were milling around the new protest site, some cooking over campfires. Loren Bagola, who joined the protest from the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota, said the demonstrators want to remain peaceful.

“We are here to pray for

our ancestors that were desecrated and pray the pipeline people will find an alternative,” he said. “We pray for their workers, too. We pray for police officers and their families. We all have one thing in common: We want clean drinking water.”

But Vanessa Dundon, a Navajo from White Cone, Arizona, said the protesters were ready to use the hay bales and large logs stacked at the site to block the adjacent highway.

Protests have been going on in the area for months, including at a much larger encampment on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ land about a half-mile away.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson says he is going to North Dakota to join the protest Wednesday, because those who oppose the pipeline have a “moral claim to be heard” and that their burial grounds “must be honored.”

He said he will stand with pipeline opponents and “if necessary, go to jail with them.”

And actor-activist Mark Ruffalo came to North Dakota on Tuesday, saying he plans to deliver a pair of Navajo-made solar trailers on

Wednesday to help power the encampments established to protest the pipeline. Ruffalo is co-founder of The Solutions Project, which promotes clean and renewable energy.

Demonstrators do not have a federal permit to be on the Corps’ land, but the agency has said it wouldn’t evict them due to free speech reasons. Authorities have criticized that decision, saying the site has been a launching point for protests at construction sites in the area.

In September, protesters and private security clashed after construction crews removed topsoil on the ranch.

Authorities said four security guards and two guard dogs were injured; the tribe says protesters reported that six people had been bitten by security dogs, and at least 30 people were pepper-sprayed.

More than 260 people have been arrested since demonstrations began in August, nearly half of whom were arrested over the weekend during a large protest at a pipeline construction site.

ver-action rifle, 12-gauge shotgun, 16-gauge shotgun and .22-caliber rifle were all located underneath Toni’s bed.

Toni openly admitted to possessing the firearms and asked for the return of the firearms.

Toni also admitted to having the firearms before they were burned by a house fire. Property determined to be stolen was recovered at Toni’s residence, having been possessed

by Blackford, Mark Steil and Holmes.

Blackford, 25, of Bridgewater was charged on an Adair County warrant for ongoing criminal conduct via unlawful activity, gathering where controlled substances are used and second-degree theft.

According to an Adair County Sheriff report, during the execution of a search warrant, a methamphetamine pipe was located on the nightstand in Blackford’s bedroom.

Also, stolen property was subsequently recovered: a water heater valued at $1,200 and Hotsy pressure water valued at $3,250.

Holmes, 34, of Bridgewater has an Adair County warrant out for ongoing criminal conduct via unlawful activity, first-degree theft, two counts of third- or subsequent-offense possession of a controlled substance, gathering where controlled substances are used and two counts of unlawful possession of a prescription drug.

According to an Adair County Sheriff report, during the execution of a search warrant at Holmes’ residence, multiple stolen items were recovered. A key to a lock placed on a stolen trailer was also discovered on the nightstand of Holmes’. A key to an all-terrain vehicle locked inside the stolen enclosed trailer was also recovered. The recovered stolen items consisted of an enclosed trailer containing a water heater, chop saw, radial arm saw, household items, range oven and Hotsy pressure washer. Many of these items had been stolen from different locations at different times and belonged

to different owners. Total cost was $10,200.

Also, a methamphetamine and marijuana pipe and glass jar with methamphetamine were located in Holmes’ bedroom.

Methamphetamine was located in a glass pipe and marijuana was found in Holmes’ room. There were also acetaminophen hydrocodone and cephalexin pills without a valid prescription found within Holmes’ room.

Funke, 50, of Bridgewater has an Adair County warrant out for possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to an Adair County Sheriff report, during the execution of a search warrant, a methamphetamine pipe was located inside the residence of Funke.

James, Toni and Blackford were each being held on $25,000 bond.

Any information from the public concerning the whereabouts of Holmes or Funke should be directed to the Adair County Sheriff’s Office at 641-743-2148.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, October 26, 2016

Technology is growing with EAST From the desk of Steve McDermott CCSD superintendent

In recent months, the amount of learning by students and adult educators connected with technology has truly grown. If compared to a corn plant, I’d say our tech plant has grown tall on a stout stalk, has tasseled and multiple, large ears are filling nicely. Our students are truly taking more responsibility for their own learning related to the use of technology, and this ownership has produced noticeable gains in engagement, motivation and enthusiasm for learning.

In recent weeks, we have heard from students, teachers and parents that many are more excited to get up and go to school in the morning knowing that interesting, challenging projects await them. A student explained to me that his grades in his other classes have improved simply because he now “likes school more” due to his active participation in the EAST Program at Creston Community High School. EAST stands for Environmental and Spatial Technology, an initiative that was started here in Creston several years ago thanks to the support and generous donations from Mr. and Mrs. Karl Knock.

EAST is a project-based, service-learning-oriented program that provides students with highend technology. At its heart, EAST is a coordinated effort to provide today’s students with an educational atmosphere that allows them to gain insight into their own abilities to acquire and use information, solve problems and develop valuable experience.

The EAST model has expanded to more than 200 schools in five states: Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania.

As you may have heard, our EAST students have done great things in the communication field this fall including live-streaming school events, producing promotional and informative videos for a range of activities and organizations and presenting the story of their recent learning journey to local, regional and statewide audiences. EAST projects are aimed at bettering our community through the use of technology and this target is certainly being hit in the bull’s-eye by our students.

Mr. Ryan McKim and Ms. Teri Keeler work closely with our students in the EAST program. Ms. Stephanie Lane, a local Green Hills AEA Tech Learning Specialist, is also very involved with student learning in this endeavor. Their roles are unique in that they guide and advise students

with their projects, but they do not dictate or control learning.

Expectations remain high for student effort and work quality, but specific outcomes are not necessarily scripted. As mentioned before, this allows for students to own the responsibility of their learning and of their accompanying accomplishments.

In other words, these educators “show students where to look, but not what to see.”(Alexander Trenfor) Students often open the boxes with us when new technology devices arrive and they are charged with assembling the devices, finding how the devices operate and then, determining what can be accomplished with each device, often in harmony with other available technology. For instance, we just received a new drone that offers many learning possibilities.

Now, this is not always pretty.

At times, when students first dip their toes into the water of a new project or new area of learning, the results have been ugly. However, as in life, those first apparent failures can be built upon and can later yield breakthroughs and successes. We often drive after dark

and can only see as far as our headlights shine, sometimes through some barren, not-so-attractive areas. However, those adventures can lead to some gorgeous destinations in the end. These tech projects are often like this.

What we have found is that technology is a vehicle that can bridge us to expanded learning.

Such things as improved communication and collaboration with others, real-world problem-solving, technical skills and advanced insights into many areas have been attained through the use of technology. A potentially more important impact is the way the tech has led students to discover their own personal interests and passions. For example, our students recently presented at a statewide technology conference, ITEC, collaborating with adults and each other to offer an interesting snapshot of their new learning and how their projects have evolved.

Another example was a recent local presentation where the WiFi in the building was weak, thus causing their presentation videos to lag and freeze. They quickly learned to use a cell phone as

a mobile hot-spot and the presentation proceeded. Of course, many logistic challenges have also been met and addressed associated with the live-streaming (live broadcasts) of activities from various locations. Students have also approached and interviewed folks from outside of our community including opposing coaches, not always a comfortable contact, or technology experts. Valid, genuine learning has occurred every step of the way. Students have also gained “academic confidence” and have taken more stalk in their personal futures. They have also learned to appreciate the unique skills and abilities of others that may not fit the typical high school popularity mold.

We are just beginning to see what our recent learning crop can produce related to our expanded application of technology, and we continue to do whatever we can to maximize our yields. You will hear more in the future about similar efforts with our elementary and middle school students as well.

Letter to the editor Vote for the one that supports your values From Jonathan L. Ehrlich Creston

In January, I urged my fellow Crestonians to come to the Republican caucus and vote for Donald J. Trump because I wanted to “Make America Great Again.” We had a great caucus turnout, and the energy for positively changing our country was palpable.

Much has happened since. I still feel positive energy, but wonder whether Trump, or anyone, can bring the country together. I always knew the media favored urban and liberal values, but never knew the bias would seem concerted. I always knew some people would argue against Trump’s policies, but I never knew my family, friends and neighbors could hate one another for holding different political ideas. For his part, Trump has not made it easy to support him.

I always knew he was a naughty boy, but never thought he would say truly indefensible things.

The presidential campaign has been energetic, nasty and just plain heartbreaking at times. Carrying that with me, I went down to the courthouse last Friday and cast my ballot for Trump and Pence. I did so because they support my values.

I am glad to be from Creston, and thankful for the people there who loved me, invested in me and taught me great values. I know that we should treat each other with dignity, respect and kindness. I know that we should guarantee others privacy and the right to protect oneself. I know that hard work should be rewarded and that a person should be entitled to the fruits of his or her labor. I know that we should have a say in what our government does. I know that we should protect life, and cherish love and common purpose. I know all of these things because people taught them to me. Now, I live those values, and teach them to others.

Trump has campaigned in support of my values. Pence supports my values too and does a great job demonstrating them through his acts. Focusing on who to vote for, I put aside the energy, mischaracterizations, hateful acts between friends and indefensible statements made by Trump. I was left with asking which ticket supports my values. The answer was Trump and Pence.

Our values make America great.

I encourage you to support the values listed above by voting Trump and Pence. Together we will “Make America Great Again!”

Top issue on Election Day will be public corruption Topical humor Argus Hamilton

HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell blamed the NFL’s lower TV ratings this fall on competing super-events in sports and politics. The Cubs are in the World Series and Donald Trump may become president.

Hell hasn’t frozen over but the thermostat’s been turned down to 36 degrees.

USA Today ran a poll of Americans which found the top issue on Election Day will be public corruption. The desire for cash often corrupts our good intentions. Last year, Congress passed a law making it unlawful in the United States to clone human beings, unless they’re major contributors.

Rush Limbaugh ripped polls that give Hillary a lead over Trump by over-sampling Democrats while other polls have it tied. No one knows how the presidential race is going to turn out. Right now, America is a teenage girl in a horror movie who’s decided to walk downstairs into the basement.

Donald Trump stumped in Florida Monday while Hillary spent the day campaigning in New England. They spent the entire day tearing each other to shreds. Michael Vick just realized that if he places a bet on either presidential candidate to

win, he could go back to prison for dog-fighting.

Donald Trump gave a speech in Gettysburg Saturday outlining his agenda for his first one hundred days in office. It was an appropriate time for him to honor Lincoln’s epic Gettysburg address. Four-score and seven female accusers from now, Trump will be tied with Cosby.

Donald Trump vowed to get rid of the Common Core curriculum in schools because its lessons are slanted to the far left. That’s true. Common Core teaches kids that Jack and Jill went up the hill to live in a gated community and that the Three Little Pigs shot and killed an unarmed black man.

Donald Trump received backing from Christian evangelical leaders Saturday who backed up Trump’s contention that he’s a Born Again. People shouldn’t doubt his Christian credentials.

Donald Trump must have a thousand carpenters working for him and half of them are named Jesus.

Madonna made headlines when she went onto Twitter after the presidential debate Wednesday and offered to give people oral sex if they will vote for Hillary Clinton for president of the United States. Madonna is way out of her league.

If anyone’s going to blow this election, it’s Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign chief John Podesta was revealed in WikiLeaks e-mails directing pollsters how to over-sample

Democratic voters in Florida to get pro-Hillary results. There are also signs of voter fraud.

The most popular tombstone inscription in Chicago is a sticker that says I Voted.

Hillary Clinton was exposed in e-mails lying to the King of Morocco by taking twelve million from him to host a summit there, but she sent Bill there instead. She forgets where we come from. You can lie to the people and it’s no big deal, but if you lie to the King, it’s going to cost you Virginia.

The White House admitted Monday that the price of health care insurance premiums under Obama Care is set to skyrocket again next month. It’s demoralizing. Polls show that paying the higher priced health care premium is trailing dying like a man when it’s your time by a huge margin.

President Obama’s arrival in L.A. shut down boulevards in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills Monday when he came to fundraise for the 26th time.

Traffic was stalled for 2 hours.

Barack Obama carried West Hollywood twice because he gives us so much more time on Facebook.

Austria’s Interior Ministry announced Monday it will demolish the house where Adolf Hitler was born in Linz. The government is embarrassed because it’s become a tourist shrine for neo-Nazis. Say what you will about Hitler, you have to give him credit for one thing, he killed Hitler.

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, October 26, 2016

CHS soybean processing plant donates Scout for corn molds and $20K to local service organizations ear rots this harvest season ST. PAUL, Minn. – CHS, North America’s leading farmer-owned cooperative and a global energy, grains and foods company, announced that its soybean processing plant in Creston contributed $20,000 to eight area organizations.

“Charitable giving has long been a core CHS value, and our local stewardship gifts create a stronger connection between our employees, our plant and the communities where we do business,” said Byron Day, CHS general manager in Creston.

Day said the Creston plant’s stewardship committee is comprised of seven employees who research community needs and follow corporate guidelines to collectively decide how to invest their location’s resources.

“Food shelf and school feeding programs are a priority, because we process nine million bushels of soybeans annually into non-GMO and GMO

Honeysoy brand flour and soybean meal used by food and feed companies,” Day said. “Other focus areas include safety, such as grants to local volunteer fire departments, and youth programs such as FFA and area educational programs.”

This year’s stewardship grant recipients include the following organizations: Creston Fire Department, $6,000; MATURA food bank and summer lunch program, $5,000; Union County Fair Board arena project, $2,500; Creston schools, $2,450; FFA Rural Safety Kids, $1,500; Lenox Neighborhood Center Food Bank, $1,000; National Child Safety Council, $880; and Southwestern Community College ag program, $670.

In addition to monetary donations, many Creston employees are dedicated volunteers.

First National Bank named a 2016 Top Workplace For the second year in a row, First National Bank in Creston and Afton has been awarded a Top Workplaces honor by the Des Moines Register.

The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including alignment, execution and connection.

“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And, who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day – the employees? Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there and the feeling that everyone is in it together.”

Randy Huewe, president of First National Bank, said this award speaks volumes about the leadership within the organization.

“Key factors in becoming an Employer of Choice is our management’s focus on how to attract the best people to work for our company,” Huewe said. “We ask ourselves how can we add value to our employees and what do we do as a company that is unique?

We look for people who are team-oriented, engaged and community focused, who are interested in growing personally and professionally.”

Huewe said First National Bank understands the important role and positive impact they have on the communities they serve. That said, First National Bank in Creston was awarded the Iowa Bankers Association (IBA) Silver Award for Community Betterment for their annual “Hope Glows” 5K Relay for Life project, whereby all funds raised are donated to the American Cancer Society.

AMES – The Iowa State University (ISU) Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (VDL) has received several questions from southwest Iowa producers about corn mold this harvest season.

Based on producer descriptions of black mold or black dust that becomes airborne when the plants are disturbed, common corn smut is the most likely culprit in many of these cases.

Corn smut is caused by the fungus Ustilago maydis or Ustilago zeae and at harvest can typically be identified as black masses of spores that create a dark dust when the corn plants are disturbed.

This spore material often is described as powdery or sooty in consistency and can be found on various parts of the corn plant including ears, tassels, stalks and leaves.

ISU Extension and Outreach beef specialist Chris Clark said corn smut can impact grain quality and yield but generally is not directly associated with mycotoxin production.

“If a mold in question is

Mediacom employee awarded Local Mediacom employee Steve Moeller earned a top customer-service award and recognition by the company’s founder and CEO during an awards ceremony held last week at Mediacom’s Regional Operations Center in Des Moines.

Moeller of Creston earned the regional “area operations employee of the year” award for his work as a broadband specialist in southwest Iowa.

He has been a long-time employee with Mediacom and its predecessor companies for more than 30 years.

Mediacom employs more than 1,600 Iowans and 4,600 people company-wide. The company’s owner and senior management team personally presents annual awards to employees who earn the highest performance rankings and demonstrate outstanding service.

truly corn smut, the grain can probably be fed to livestock without any great concern about toxicity,” Clark said.

Corn smut can, however, be confused with other corn molds and fungal ear rot organisms that can produce dangerous mycotoxins. Corn plants are susceptible to numerous fungal organisms, some of which are commonly associated with mycotoxin production.

ISU veterinary toxicologist Steve Ensley said Aspergillus, Fusarium, Gibberella and Penicillium organisms are most commonly associated with production of mycotoxins that can negatively impact animal health and performance.

There also is evidence that smut-infected ears are more susceptible to infection by Fusarium and Aspergillus.

The smut fungus may not directly produce mycotoxins but can potentially cause

greater susceptibility to secondary infections with organisms that are associated with mycotoxin production.

That’s why it’s important to scout fields and identify corn molds affecting the crop.

The ISU VDL offers mycotoxin screening of grain and feed samples. Producers can find sampling guidelines, submission forms, prices and other information on the VDL website at vetmed. iastate.edu/vdl/resources/ client-services/pathogens/ mycotoxins. The site also includes a great deal of information about mycotoxins including species affected and health effects.

Clark and Ensley are available to address questions and concerns about corn molds and mycotoxins. Clark can be reached at 712-250-0070 or by email at caclark@iastate. edu. Ensley can be reached at 515-294-2783 or by email at sensley@iastate.edu.

Eggnog is a drink made of eggs, milk or cream, sugar, and, usually, rum or wine. Since, eggnog is available at this time of year, I just had to try some recipes using eggnog. Smakelijk eten!

Repurpose recipes Your guest list probably changes from celebration to celebration. The big Halloween party might include friends from the neighborhood or co-workers; Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are for spending time with family; and your annual New Year’s Eve party involves practically everyone you know. Trying to make different dishes and entirely unique menus for every one of those holiday celebrations could drive you crazy.

Try repurposing recipes and reusing dishes that are easy to make, impressive to eat and work for you and your budget. For example, the punch you made for Halloween could also be great for New Year’s, especially with a grownup flare.

The pumpkin cheesecake that was the perfect ending to your Thanksgiving menu can be just as delicious for New Year’s. Since each event will probably have a different guest list, it won’t look like you’re repeating yourself.

Have a plan The holidays are busy and stressful enough without adding uncertainty and last-minute challenges into the mix. Plan ahead for holiday celebrations so that you know well in advance what you’ll need to make a memorable gathering. The further ahead you plan, the more time you’ll have for preparation, so go ahead and create your Thanksgiving menu while you’re sneaking treats from the kids’ Halloween stash. Start your Christmas shopping list at the same time.

Establishing a budget can also help ensure you stay calm during the holidays.

EGGNOG QUICKBREAD WITH AN EGGNOG GLAZE 1 tsp. vanilla 2 eggs 2 1/4 cups flour 1 cup sugar 2 tsp. baking powder 1 cup dairy eggnog 1/4 tsp. nutmeg 1/2 cup margarine, melted 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. rum extract

Eggnog Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar 2-3 Tbsp. eggnog (depending on how thick, thin you want the glaze)

In a large mixing bowl add eggs and beat. Next add sugar, eggnog, melted margarine, rum extract, and vanilla. Mix until combined. Add flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir until moist. Pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 4550 minutes until lightly brown and toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for about 10 minutes and remove from pan. To make the eggnog glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons eggnog. Add additional eggnog if you want the glaze to be thinner. Pour the glaze over the top of the bread.

FUDGY EGGNOG BARS WITH EGGNOG GLAZE Bars 2 tsp. rum or vanilla extract 3/4 cup white chocolate chips 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 large egg 1 tsp. ground nutmeg 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste 1/2 cup eggnog

Glaze 2 cups confectioners’ sugar about 1/3 cup eggnog, or as necessary for consistency 1/2 tsp. rum or vanilla extract ground nutmeg, for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.

Bars - In a large, microwave-safe bowl add the white chocolate, butter, and heat to melt, about 2 minutes on high power. Stop to check and stir after 1 minute, and then heat in 20-second bursts, stopping to stir after each burst, until mixture can be stirred smooth. White chocolate is very prone to scorching and seizing up, so watch it carefully and don’t overheat. Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don’t scramble it. Add the egg, sugar, eggnog, vanilla, and whisk until combined. Add the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and stir until just combined; don’t overmix. Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula. Bake for about 29 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter; set aside and make the glaze.

Glaze - In a medium bowl, add confectioners’ sugar, 1/3 cup eggnog, vanilla, and whisk until smooth. As necessary, add additional eggnog (or sugar) to reach desired glaze consistency. Glaze should be fairly thin and easily pourable. Evenly pour glaze over bars (they don’t have to be cooled completely), smoothing it lightly with a spatula if necessary, but glaze will likely just slide into place. Sprinkle with nutmeg as desired. Allow bars to cool in pan uncovered for at least 2 to 3 hours, (or overnight and cover with a sheet of foil) before slicing and serving so glaze can set up. what’s cookin’ in kyp’s kitchen sponsored by:

(BPT) – Less than a month separates Halloween from Thanksgiving. And, this year, Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are all within a day of each other, and the two multi-day holidays both end on New Year’s Day. With end-of-year celebrations coming one after another, transitioning from holiday to holiday can ratchet up your stress level.

If you really want to enjoy the holiday season to the fullest, it’s important to find ways to create calm in the chaos of party preparations, gift shopping, meal planning and other forms of busyness.

Here are some tips to remain calm and in control as you move through the hectic pace of the holidays:

Freezing garlic has ‘a-peel’ Dear Heloise: This may be a hint that many are aware of already, but it is new to me: freezing entire BULBS OF GARLIC. I never realized how much easier it makes the garlic to peel, because the skin falls right off! It’s also easier to slice when it’s so cold. Finally, you can remove as many cloves as you need and simply refreeze the rest for use another day.

No more wasted garlic that has gone bad. – Ellen P., via email You can freeze garlic bulbs (whole), or you can chop it and wrap it in a plastic freezer-safe bag or plastic wrap. With garlic as an ingredient in so many dishes, it makes sense to keep some in the freezer. – Heloise SOUP STOCK Dear Heloise: I like to make chicken and turkey stock in large quantities. I remove grease from the stock by placing slices of bread on top when the soup has slightly cooled. Once the grease is absorbed, I can lift out the bread onto a plate, grease and all. – Paula K. in Florida Great hint, and soup stock is a staple food to keep

The Cubs in the World Series after a 71 year drought

Savoring this World Series run ■

Three local fans share their stories of following the Cubs

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

The baseball world has been buzzing ever since late Saturday night.

History was made as the Chicago Cubs snapped a 71year drought of not playing in the World Series when they defeated the Dodgers 5-0 in game six of the National League Championship Series.

Cubs fans are bursting with excitement all over the country that their team is finally back in the Fall Classic, playing the almost-as-equally long suffering Cleveland Indians.

For several local Cubs fans, this appearance is one they are savoring greatly.

Florence Willets’ mailbox outside her Creston home prominently features the Cubs

Florence Willets There is a way to tell what team Florence Willets of Creston roots for even before you step foot in her south Creston home.

A clue comes outside.

It displays love for a team she has given a team for 92-years.

Through it all, she’s stuck with her team.

And now she’s watching them back in the World Series.

Willets is a proud lifelong Cubs fan.

“My mailbox has a Cub, so you know a Cub fan lives there,” Willets said.

Willets remembers what it was like to see the Chicago Cubs play in a World Series.

She was a spry 21 when the Cubs faced off against the Tigers in the 1945 Fall Classic.

Willets listened to games back in the day on a battery-powered radio on the family farm south of Thayer.

The voice behind the microphone back then on WHO Radio out of Des Moines was a man named Dutch Reagan. The young broadcaster relayed the games based on information he was getting at the studio in Des Moines.

That young broadcaster is more famously known as President Ronald Reagan.

Through all of the years since 1945, she’s stayed faithful to her beloved Cubs.

Through all of the down seasons.

Through watching her four sons become Cardinals fans, along with most all of her grandchildren becoming fans of the Cubs’ longtime archrival.

Through all of the losing, the missed opportunities, she still cheers for the Cubbie blue.

“I’ve been a lifelong fan,” she said. “I’ve suffered with them all through the years.”

She recalls listening to and watching generations of Cubs players, from Ryne Sandburg and Jody Davis in the 1980s, to Ernie Banks and Ron Santo in the 1960s to stars of today such as Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant.

“I’ve enjoyed watching the different ball players become famous,” Willets said.

“Right now I’m with Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant and all those young guys that are going to be stars.”

Baseball was a bond for Willets and her Cardinals fan father.

“It was one thing my father and I shared,” she said.

She hearkened back to watching town team ball back in the day.

“Every town had a team,” Willets said. “We’d go watch neighboring towns play each other.”

Florence Willets Over the years, she has been to Wrigley Field twice for a game.

Stepping foot inside the Friendly Confines was a unique experience for this life-long Cubs fan.

“It was a thrill,” she said.

“It’s different being there than watching it on television.”

She had four sons, and all played baseball.

“They played baseball from the time they were old enough to hold a ball,” she said.

While she was outnumbered inside her own home, there were others she stayed in touch with for support.

“I had a few friends that are Cubs fans,” she said.

“We could commiserate together.”

No longer is she alone in her family as a Cubs fan.

“I have one great-granddaughter,” Willets said. “A couple of years ago, she came running in here one day and said ‘Grandma, I’m a Cubs fan!’”

She’s seen quite a few lows, a few highs and everything in between.

Still, she sticks with her team.

“It’s disappointing like anything else when you’re close and you don’t meet your goal,” Willets said. “It was disappointing then It’s been a long time. Win or lose, I’m a baseball fan.”

She’s seen this team put the ghosts of nightmares past behind them.

“Someone was asking Kris Bryant this and he said ‘Oh, we’re all young.’ They didn’t care about anything that happened many years ago,” Willets said. “That’s the way I feel about our past history.”

She’s anticipating four more wins, and the Cubs’ first World Series title in her long lifetime.

“Winning. That’s what I’m looking forward to, being World Champions,” Willets said. “It’d be real exciting.

“All my frustration would be gone.”

ka on Saturday night.

He saw some of the future Cubs, such as Nellie Fox, come through Lincoln as the Lincoln Chiefs were a Cubs minor league affiliate.

Still, Woods has occasionally made his way to Wrigley Field over the years, estimating he’s been to anywhere from eight-to-ten games.

He recalled hearing legendary Cubs broadcaster Jack Brickhouse call the games on television when the Cubs did appear on their screen.

Woods remembers watching games with Harry Carray on the broadcaster after Carray had called games for the White Sox, and earlier the hated Cardinals.

Tuesday, Woods was donning an old-school Cubs jacket a friend purchased for him for a dollar at a church rummage sale. The jacket remains in pristine condition.

He’s watched the Cubs through some very lean years and some missed opportunities.

“You just don’t think about it,” Woods said.

This season is different.

“The expectations are all that high,” Woods said.

“This is extraordinary to have all of this, to live up

to it, to be in the World Series.”

Woods, 75, didn’t recall the last time the Cubs were in the World Series. He was four, and in Kindergarten the last time a World Series game was played on the North Side of Chicago.

“I barely remember Kindergarten,” Woods said.

He vividly remembered Saturday night when the Cubs finally clinched the National League pennant.

“I had the TV in the other room and my wife was in the other room. I just started screaming and hollering,” Woods said. “My dog didn’t know what to do.”

Reaching the World Series means much to the Nebraska native.

He considered it similar to an experience with his beloved Cornhuskers.

“It was like Nebraska winning the national championship,” Woods said. “It just puts a good feeling, shivers up and down your spine.”

Woods believes the Cubs are on the right track.

“Hiring Theo Epstein, hiring the right people, the right manager, I just think those guys are doing it right,” Woods said.

He has high hopes for the current setup.

“I hope they can just continue to be the 21st Century of the Yankees,” Woods said. “I look at the guys.

They’ve got young guys, with the five starting pitchers they have.”

He likes the makeup of this team.

“All those young guys, they’re good people,” Woods said. “They have good chemistry.”

The Cubs made headway in the playoffs last season, winning the Wild Card game over the Pirates and the Division series over the Cardinals.

“That was good, just beating the Cardinals,” Woods

Warren Woods Warren Woods grew up as a Cubs fan in Lincoln, Nebraska.

His dad worked on the railroad. Woods recalled taking the train on Friday night to Chicago, going to the game Saturday and taking the train back to Nebras-

Warren Woods

said.

The expectations are growing for Cubs fans now that they’re back in the Fall Classic.

“All of those Cardinals fans had a target on their back,” Woods said. “Now the Cubs have the target on their back.”

John Kawa John Kawa knows what it is like to experience life as a Cubs fan from an up-close perspective.

Growing up in the Southport area of Chicago, he used to walk from his childhood house to Wrigley Field.

“I was five years old. I would walk a block to the railroad track,” Kawa said.

“It was so simple. I could not get lost. The one big neighborhood kid would walk with you. You couldn’t give kids away in those days.”

Back in the early 60s, life was much more carefree at the Friendly Confines. Tickets weren’t as costly as they are now.

“It was a buck, buck and a half to go to the game in those days,” Kawa said.

The Cubs weren’t exactly a dynamite team in the early 60s. Through most of the 1950s, up to the mid-1960s, the Cubs finished towards the bottom half of the National League in the era before division play.

“They weren’t rolling in the early 60s,” Kawa said.

By the middle of the game, the not-exactly-fullcrowds at Wrigley Field could mill about with ease.

“About the fourth inning, the ushers would leave,” Kawa said. “The kids would go down to the field. It was like that in the old days. It was wonderful to try to get autographs. They (the players) were pretty hospitable.”

As a young boy, he saw all of the key players of the era in the National League come through the Friendly Confines. He still has ticket stubs and scorecards to prove he saw players such as Willie Mays, Juan Marichal, Bob Gibson, Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax.

“I’ve still got those from way back, still have my ticket stub,” Kawa said.

Kawa vividly remembers the 1969 team. The Cubs were red-hot most of the season. They led the Mets by nine games in early September.

“We thought they’d win it for sure,” Kawa said. “It was promising.”

The Cubs lost the pennant to the miracle Mets by a handful of games. The Mets went on to defeat the Orioles for the world championship.

After the 1970 season, which the Cubs finished second in the newly formed National League East division, hope faded for the better part of 15 years.

“Like most Cubs fans, you don’t quit,” Kawa said.

Hope sprung alive in 1984 CUBS | 11A

CUBS: CONT. FROM | 10A

when the Cubs won the National League East. Chicago jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the NLCS series against the Padres. But the Cubs collapsed, losing the final three games.

“That was a really good opportunity,” Kawa said.

The Cubs won the National League East in 1989, but were easily dispatched by the Giants in the playoffs.

A heartbreaking playoff loss came in 1998 at the hands of the Dodgers.

Then there was 2003. The Cubs topped the Braves in the National League Division Series. They led the Marlins three games to one in the NLCS. Coming back to Chicago for game six, the Cubs were a win away from the World Series.

Game six became known as the ‘Bartman game,’ where fan Steve Bartman interfered with a foul ball in the seats as left fielder Moises Alou tried to make a play on the ball in the eighth inning with the Cubs leading 3-0. Florida scored eight runs in the inning and the Cubs lost. They went on to lose in game seven to drop the series four games to three.

“You can’t blame Bartman,” Kawa said. “I’ve seen that replay 100 times.

I would’ve done the same thing. I don’t know what fan wouldn’t have put their hands out. There was the error on the shortstop. It was not just that play, but he takes all the blame.”

The Cubs’ fortunes started to change in the late 2000s.

Longtime fan and billionaire Tom Rickets bought the team.

“I was more excited about

Rickets buying the team,” Kawa said. “To see someone who’s a Cubs fan, who’s sat in the bleachers, is a multi-billionaire buy it and go after it, it was more exciting than when Wrigley sold it to Tribune company. Rickets is for real.”

He hired Theo Epstein as team president.

“You’ve got to be excited,” Kawa said. “He did a great thing in Boston. We got high hopes. If you’re a Cubs fan, you’ve got a wait and see attitude, but we were excited.”

Epstein, the architect of the Red Sox championship teams in 2004 and 2007, started a top-to-bottom rebuild of the Cubs roster.

It was stripped barren for a couple of years. The losing seasons allowed the Cubs to acquire key top-end draft picks, picks used on players such as Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber. Shrewd trades also played a role in acquiring more position players and pitchers, such as Jake Arrieta and Kyle Hendricks.

Deft free agent signings, such as staff ace Jon Lester and rotation regular John Lackey, built depth in the pitching staff.

“I think what they did was wonderful building from scratch,” Kawa said. “They should’ve done that a long time ago.”

Later Joe Maddon was brought in to be the Cubs’ manager.

“When they got Maddon, that was the best thing they did,” Kawa said. “He deals with young people well. He does an amazing job.”

Kawa’s seen a number of the young Cubs players in person when they were refining their skills at the minor league level at Principal Park in Des Moines, home of the Cubs top minor league

John Kawa team, the Iowa Cubs.

“I’ve been to Iowa Cubs games every year,” Kawa said. “Principal Park is a beautiful place. We’re all pumped up to see them.”

Even though he’s lived in Creston since the mid-1960s, he still makes a pilgrimage back to Wrigley Field at least twice a season.

boards in left and right field were installed a couple of seasons ago.

Kawa wasn’t a fan of those additions.

“It bothers me,” he said.

Still, Wrigley Field holds much of its charm.

“Wrigley is still Wrigley,”

CLEVELAND (AP) — Corey Kluber got the Cleveland Indians off to a striking start and Roberto Perez put away Chicago in the Cubs’ first World Series game since 1945.

Kluber dominated into the seventh inning, Perez homered twice and the Indians beat the Cubs 6-0 in the opener Tuesday night. AL Championship Series MVP Andrew Miller escaped a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the seventh and got out of trouble in the eighth, preserving a threer u n lead.

“It’s Kluber almost like you have that extra level of intensity,” said Kluber, who became the first Series pitcher to strike out eight batters in the first three innings.

In a matchup between the teams with baseball’s longest championship droughts, the Indians scored twice in the first off October ace Jon Lester.

Perez drove in four runs with a fourth-inning solo shot and a three-run drive in the eighth against Hector Rondon, TRIBE | 12A

Kawa said. “It still has the same marquis, the gates. I’m glad they kept the manual scoreboard.”

He’s seen games with his parents, uncles, cousins and old neighbors.

It’s like he experienced as a kid.

“It feels good to go sit in the seats,” Kawa said. “It’s still the same.”

To finally see the Cubs in this position means plenty for this die-hard Cubs fan.

“It’s gratifying to say you’ve lived through it,” Kawa said. “Some of the best Cubs fans are sitting out there in Calvary Cemetery.”

He understands the Indians pose a real threat in this edition of the Fall Classic.

“Cleveland’s got some good players,” Kawa said.

“They’re not going to be a cakewalk.”

Kawa will see this dream run to the World Series in person Saturday for game four. His brother knew someone who got them tickets behind the Cubs dugout.

It was an unexpected surprise for Kawa.

“I hear the ticket prices were ridiculous,” he said.

“I figure I could do a lot more with my money then see one game. My brother called me up. He said you only live once. I’ve waited all these years. I’ve never had a chance before. It made sense.”

“I’m tickled pink to go.”

Should the Cubs win, even though it’s just a game of baseball, the impact will be felt.

“A whole lot of people will be happy,” Kawa said. “It’s amazing what it means. It’s just a game, but it’s a very important game.”

“It’s a big deal.”

becoming the first Cleveland player and the only No. 9 batter to homer twice in a Series game.

“I’ve come a long ways,” said Perez, who has three home runs in 27 at-bats during the postseason after hitting three in 153 during the regular season.

Francisco Lindor added three hits as the Indians improved to 8-1 this postseason. Cleveland manager Terry Francona is 9-0 in the Series, including sweeps by his Boston teams in 2004 and ‘07.

The Game 1 winner has taken the title in the last six Series and 17 of 19.

“I have no concerns,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “It’s the first game. I’m fine, we’re fine.”

Trevor Bauer, trying to come back from a sliced pinkie caused by a freak drone accident, starts Game 2 for the Indians on Wednesday night against Jake Arrieta.

Because the forecast called for an increased chance of rain later in the evening, Major League Baseball took the extraordinary step of moving up the first pitch by an hour to 7:08 p.m.

Kluber painted the outside corner, and 24 of his 59 strikes were called by plate umpire Larry Vanover.

Twelve batters were caught looking, including seven Cubs.

“I think his ball was moving too much today,” said Perez, Cleveland’s catcher.

“We got guys off balance the whole night.”

Kluber combined with Miller and Cody Allen to fan 15, and Chicago went 2 for 15 with 10 strikeouts with runners on base.

With the Indians hoping for their first title since 1948 and the Cubs seeking their first since 1908, Lester stumbled in the opening inning.

Cleveland loaded the bases with two outs off Lester, who had been 3-0 with an 0.43 ERA in three Series starts. Jose Ramirez had a run-scoring swinging bunt single and Brandon Guyer was hit by a pitch. Perez connected in the fourth for a 3-0 lead.

Teams that combined for 174 seasons of futility, America’s biggest droughts since the Great Plains’ Dust Bowl of the 1930s, captivated even

TRIBE:

many non-baseball fans.

On a night of civic pride, LeBron James and the NBA’s Cavaliers received their championship rings next door prior to their season opener, and Cleveland hosted a World Series opener for the first time.

The Cubs had not played in the Series since five weeks after Japan signed the Instrument of Surrender ending World War II. Kluber, whose win in the All-Star Game gave the AL home-field advantage on the Series, improved to 3-1 in the postseason and lowered his ERA to a sparkling 0.74.

He was pitching on six days’ rest, and his two-seam fastball was darting through the strike zone. Kluber struck out nine in six innings and walked none Kyle Schwarber, making a surprise return in his first big league game since tearing knee ligaments on April 7, doubled off the right-field wall in the fourth — a drive kept in by a stiff wind on a 50-degree night. Kluber then got Javier Baez to fly out.

Zobrist’s leadoff double in the seventh finished Kluber, and Cleveland loaded the bases with no outs against Miller on Schwarber’s walk and Baez’s single. Pinch-hitter Willson Contreras flied to Rajai Davis in short center, and Davis threw home rather than double up Schwarber, who had strayed far off second.

Using his intimidating slider, Miller struck out Addison Russell and David Ross to escape the jam, then fanned Schwarber to strand runners at the corners in the eighth, his 46th pitch. Miller has thrown 20 scoreless innings in postseason play, including 13 2/3 innings with 24 strikeouts this year.

Allen completed Cleveland’s fourth postseason shutout and second in a row.

Ramirez also had three hits each for the Indians, who beat Toronto in the ALCS despite hitting just .168. Zobrist had three hit for the Cubs.

Lester gave up three runs, six hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings, and was rattled

CORNING – CHI Health Occupational Health has received a grant of $22,000 from the Goldstein Family Foundation and the Alter Trading Corporation to assist in the expansion of the Iowa workforce pool of qualified Department of Transportation (DOT) certified heavy-truck drivers.

Iowa Workforce Development estimates that Iowa will require 805 drivers per year to fill new jobs and 685 drivers per year as replacements for drivers leaving the field.

DOT certification includes a requirement to receive a medical examiner’s certificate testifying to the driver’s physical and emotional fitness to safely drive a heavy truck. The medical examination includes an assessment of the driver’s risk for obstructive sleep apnea, a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow or infrequent breathing during sleep and resulting in daytime fatigue, slow reaction time and vision problems. This disorder increases risk for driving accidents and is a danger to transportation safety.

Drivers identified as being at risk for sleep apnea are referred for a sleep study and, if necessary, follow-up treatment to improve their sleep quality.

This grant will partially subsidize the cost of the sleep study and treatment for heavy-truck drivers and potential drivers who lack health insurance,

2

whose health insurance does not cover in-lab sleep studies or who have a deductible of $1,000 or greater.

Those who may benefit from this opportunity should contact Paislee Dalton with CHI Health Mercy Corning at 641-3226274 or paislee.dalton@ alegent.org.
