Angel Flight comes through Creston Municipal Airport

Jeanné Willerth.

The family was passing through Creston after spending a couple of days at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., where the daughter received the treatments she needed.

The family declined to give their names or details about the daughter’s condition, but said they have been doing treatments in Minnesota every three months for the past three years and “are so thankful for Angel Flight.”

The exchange didn’t take long.

An 11-year-old girl from Lamar, Mo., and her mother hopped out of a plane Tuesday afternoon at Creston Municipal Airport and stayed just long enough to eat a 6-inch Subway sandwich before heading home on another Angel Flight with pilot

Angel Flight is a non-profit charitable organization of pilots, volunteers and friends who arrange for free air transportation for any legitimate, charitable, medically-related need.

Angel Flight also arranges transportation for those who are financially distressed, or who are in a time-critical, non-emergency situation because of their medical condition.

This was Willerth’s third

time transporting the family.

Willerth is the sister of Gay Lynn Owens of Creston, and was inspired to volunteer for Angel Flights because both of her parents were pilots and her father — now 91 years old — used to fly burn patients to Shriner’s hospitals.

“I’m just carrying on what he did,” Willerth said.

Creston School Board held an informational meeting last week — before the regularly scheduled meeting — to hear any questions or comments about the proposed consolidation of Creston and Prescott community school districts.

Board members also added a new first-grade teacher and plan to talk with Southwestern Community College administration for any future moves concerning the former AEA site.

Creston and Prescott Superintendent Steve McDermott explained a memo written to describe the decision to discuss the consolidation, dating back to July 2013, to six local citizens during the information session.

“The two boards discussed McDermott this beginning in July 2013,” McDermott said. “The (Prescott) board has had discussions with other boards, and it appears to Prescott that Creston is the best option.”

According to the Creston board memo, “the Creston board traveled over to meet with the Prescott board to talk about potential sharing or consolidation ideas, and the meeting was very productive.”

Creston and Prescott share Business Manager Billie Jo Green and a teacher, as well as superintendent.

Vivian Viola (Brown) Green, 97, died on Sept.

24, 2014 in Glendale, AZ. She was born to Alfred D. Brown and Bernice (Pot-

and graduated from Corning High School in 1940.

Robert entered the U.S. Army in 1944 and served with the 40th Infantry Division during WWII. Bob was honorably discharged in 1946; he returned home and married Mary Drake on Nov. 10, 1946, at the First Baptist Church in Corning.

Robert farmed until 1953 and then opened a welding and machine shop in Carl.

scheduled board meetings until the possible February vote.

“This is not a sales pitch,” McDermott said. “This is a matter of informing folks so they can make an informed vote when a vote comes along.”

Prescott School Board previously discussed consolidation with Lenox and Corning school districts, but discussion didn’t lead anywhere.

“They (Prescott board members) would hate to see the district dissolve, so that is why they have gone this direction,” McDermott said.

According to McDermott, the tax levy rates will change in Creston and Prescott if the consolidation does continue.

After a four-year transition period, tax levy rates in Creston will decrease from its current rate of $15.18, while rates in Prescott will increase from its current rate of $9.57.

McDermott also said there are many details, such as school name, that still need to be ironed out before a final decision is made.

AEA site Creston board members discussed the future of the former AEA site, located on North Lincoln Street, with Creston administration during the October meeting.

“If we are going to get rid of it, just to get rid of it, there might be a use for it,” said Creston Board Member Galen Zumbach. “I guess, as a board

debris down onto the launch area and into the ocean.

Ground crews were ready to access the fire-stricken area of NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility at daybreak Wednesday to search for accident debris.

The company’s Cygnus cargo ship was carrying 5,000 pounds of experiments and equipment for NASA, as well as prepackaged meals and, in a generous touch, freeze-dried Maryland crabcakes for a Baltimore-born astronaut who’s been in orbit for five months.

All of the lost materials will be replaced and flown to the 260-mile-high space station, NASA’s station program manager Mike Suffredini said.

The six-person space station crew has enough supplies to last well into spring.

The accident is sure to draw scrutiny to the space agency’s growing reliance on private U.S. companies in the post-shuttle era.

NASA is paying billions of dollars to Virginia-based Orbital Sciences and the California-based SpaceX company to make station

member, I’m just looking for some input from the administration.”

Board members discussed selling the property, keeping it for the district’s own use or sharing it with Southwestern Community College, whose administration has shown interest.

Currently, the college is using the property for practicing students taking Zumbach a commercial driver’s license course.

“It doesn’t necessarily need to be sold, but it could be,” Zumbach said.

“I would support both if the rationale was there.”

Board members and administrators came to a decision to speak with SWCC President Barb Crittenden about the possibility of sharing the property in the future.

Teacher The move to add another firstgrade teacher came about because of an influx of students in the first-grade class. There are 13 students more than expected.

“That number, 13, is significant enough that a Band-Aid I don’t think is the way to go,” McDermott said.

The board members considered several options, including hiring a long-term substitute, before deciding on hiring a new teacher.

The board also received input from

deliveries, and it’s counting on SpaceX and Boeing to start flying U.S. astronauts to the orbiting lab as early as 2017.

It was the fourth Cygnus bound for the orbiting lab; the first flew just over a year ago. SpaceX is scheduled to launch another Dragon supply ship from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in December.

“Today’s launch attempt will not deter us from our work to expand our already successful capability to launch cargo from American shores to the International Space Station,” NASA’s human exploration chief, Bill Gerstenmaier, said in a statement following the accident.

Until Tuesday, all of the supply missions by Orbital Sciences and SpaceX had been near-flawless.

President Barack Obama has long championed this commercial space effort.

He was in Wisconsin for a campaign rally and was kept informed.

Orbital Sciences’ executive vice president Frank Culbertson said the company carried insurance on the mission, which he valued

Creston first-grade teacher Paula Jacobson, who was present at the meeting.

“Right now, kids are pretty pliable still,” Jacobson said. “If it’s someone who has some experience, those kinds of things are the things that sell parents. The first-grade group would still work as a team.”

The teacher who is hired at Creston Elementary School could possibly continue up the ladder as a second-grade instructor during the 2015-16 school year.

“I just think, right now, we are putting out a lot of fires all day long because of so many kids,” Jacobson said.

“That’s why I think a lot of people in our team would feel more comfortable with another section.”

Board members planned to discuss the addition with parents before going through with it.

In other school board news: • Board members approved the district contract with Pepsi for products to be sold in school. They also approved the district Title I contract.

• Anthony Donahoo, EAST instructor, resigned his position as ninth-grade boys’ basketball coach.

• Casey Tanner, Creston Middle School math instructor, was contracted as assistant middle school wrestling coach. Donahoo was contracted as ninth-grade girls’ basketball coach.

Waunita Watt was contracted as bus driver. Todd Jacobson was contracted as ninth-grade boys’ basketball.

at more than $200 million, not counting repair costs.

The explosion hit Orbital Science’s stock, which fell more than 15 percent in after-hours trading.

John Logdson, former space policy director at George Washington University, said the explosion was unlikely to be a major setback to NASA’s commercial space plans.

But he noted it could derail Orbital Sciences for a while given the company has just one launch pad and the accident occurred right above it.

At a news conference Tuesday night, Culbertson and others said everyone at the launch site had been accounted for and the damage appeared to be limited to the facilities.

He noted that the cargo module was carrying hazardous materials and warned residents to avoid any contact with debris.

“Certainly don’t go souvenir hunting along the beach,” he said.

Things began to go wrong 10 to 12 seconds into the

flight and it was all over in 20 seconds when what was left of the rocket came crashing down, Culbertson said. He said he believes the range-safety staff sent a destruct signal before it hit the ground, but was not certain.

This was the second launch attempt for the mission. Monday evening’s try was thwarted by a stray sailboat in the rocket’s danger zone. The restrictions are in case of just such an accident that occurred Tuesday.

Culbertson said the top priority will be repairing the launch pad “as quickly and safely as possible.”

“We will not fly until we understand the root cause,” he said, adding that it was too early to guess how long it might take to make the rocket repairs and fix the launch pad. It will take a few weeks, alone, to assess the damage and extent of potential repairs.

Culbertson also stressed that it was too soon to know whether the Russian-built engines, modified for the Antares and extensively tested, were to blame.

OPINION

A bustle of fall activity, but winter weather looms This past week’s surprising warm temperatures reaffirmed my decision that I want be a snowbird and plan on heading south before the really cold weather gets here.

Sadly, I don’t think I can convince anyone at the paper that I could work efficiently from a remote location.

My time spent in Texas made me despise the colder weather and the day-to-day inconveniences of scraping frost off of my windshield, driving on slick roads and not being able to lay out by the pool in late January.

I did enjoy this fall and the foliage put on a great show across the Midwest. I went to college in Tyler,

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham associate editor

Texas, which is located in the thick of the “piney woods.”

The only color the evergreens provided was a film of yellow pollen all over everything each spring.

And I like seeing the bustle of activity across the fields as the area farmers make their push to harvest what appears to be a record crop.

It will start to look a lot like more winter in the next couple of weeks as the fields stand barren and the

final leaves fall.

The only color left will be bright neon orange spots of hunters making their way across the fields and through the trees hoping for a big harvest of their own. I have been close to taking out a few of their wildlife targets on my trips back and forth from Winterset.

For anyone traveling this winter, I hope the area construction projects remain on schedule to be finished before the snow starts flying.

The honorary “sheriff” of Cromwell Rich Waddingham and Mayor Shorty Adamson reported they are very pleased with the smoother ride on Cromwell Road.

Not only is it easier on their vehi-

cles, they don’t have to worry about the bumps spilling their coffee.

They are also very excited — along with many others — for the unveiling of the Union County Freedom Rock. I have been taking pictures as Ray “Bubba” Sorensen has worked his way around the boulder.

The project is close to complete.

While all the artwork so far is beautiful, I am most excited about the north side of the mural. It includes some area landmarks that will help make the Union County Freedom Rock unique.

Finally, best of luck to all of the area athletes this post season.

These next few weeks are hectic

for Larry and Scott as they try to cover all the area games and lay the groundwork for the fast approaching winter sports.

Creston volleyball played really tough last night in their first round victory over No. 14 Glenwood. Tonight will be a blitz of football results and Saturday the harriers will toe the line at the state cross country meet in Fort Dodge.

Next week the Southwestern Community College cross country team heads to the national championship meet in Lubbock, Texas.

If I miss the bus on the return back, don’t stress. I am sure I can find my way back, it just might take me until May to make it home.

White House didn’t quarantine aid workers HOLLYWOOD—Happy Wednesday, everybody, and God bless America.

The New York Marathon will be run through the streets of Manhattan before one million spectators Sunday. Hundreds of runners at the starting line will be from Africa. This year it becomes the first marathon race in history which begins with a shot from a hypodermic needle.

A New York doctor flew to JFK from Africa with Ebola symptoms Thursday. This after the Liberian flew to Dallas, infecting a nurse who flew to Cleveland and one who went on a cruise. It’s now clear the first symptom of Ebola is not vomiting, diarrhea or fever, it’s the urge to travel.

The White House didn’t quarantine aid workers returning from Africa but quarantined U.S. soldiers returning from Africa. It’s out of control. Just last night the Secret Service caught two men leaping over the White House fence and returned them to their desks in the West Wing.

President Obama gave his weekly radio address to the nation on Saturday and reassured Americans he has Ebola under control. He actually said that we can lick this disease. This is the last time he ever asks Joe Biden to punch up his Saturday radio address and give it some laughs.

New Jersey took a nurse just back from Africa off Ebola quarantine Monday. Halloween’s just ruined. Three-fourths of New Jersey residents say they plan to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters, the other fourth plan to spend three hours hiding in the living room with the lights out.

The World Series had a tough time with TV ratings this week due

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

to the NFL telecasts all week and for the NBA opening games. It’s the magical time of the year when we have baseball and football and basketball on TV at the same time.

It’s the holy trinity of ignoring your family.

The Los Angeles Lakers opened at home against Houston at Staples Center Tuesday. Fans on the front row included party animals Jack Nicholson, Paris Hilton and Charlie Sheen. The Staples Center is the only basketball arena in the world where the nose bleed seats are courtside.

Krispy Kreme announced it will give away one free doughnut to anyone who comes to the store on Halloween dressed in costume.

Weight counselors agree. If you’re the type of person who’s willing to go to the trouble to dress in a costume to get a free doughnut, you’ve hit bottom.

A Lubbock jewelry store offered a free handgun with a three-thousand-dollar engagement ring. It s a Texan’s total commitment. The ring assures the woman he’ll marry her and the handgun assures her that he will never walk in front of the TV set when the Cowboys game is on.

The U.S. Senate races across the country tightened over the weekend, making both parties nervous about mid-terms. It could be very close. The pollsters say the Senate is the Republicans to lose, and if anyone knows how to lose something that was theirs to lose, it’s the Republicans.

In Iowa’s Interest: Focus on safety, health of farm families, workers is crucial Tens of thousands of Iowans are pushing to harvest huge quantities of food, feed, and energy in a short time. As we thank them for hard work and dedication this is also a key time to focus on farm safety and health. Time pressure, workloads, equipment breakdowns, weather and stresses all add up.

Life-altering and fatal injuries can happen in an instant.

Farm families and workers face many risks and hazards throughout the year in producing both crops and livestock. Just a few of the dangers include tractor rollovers, powerful, fast-moving machinery, electricity, grain bins, livestock, slips and falls, skin cancer, ATVs and roadway collisions. Unique stresses and demands in farming can also create special needs for behavioral and mental health assistance.

Agriculture’s human resources must be treasured, conserved and protected no less than land, water and natural resources. Farm safety and health have improved over the years, but the plain truth is that people in agriculture still suffer excessively, and unnecessarily, from injuries, illnesses and death. We have to do more to heighten awareness, resolve and action to prevent such losses. That is why I strongly support this year’s national farm safety and health theme: “Safety Counts: Protecting What Matters.”

Through increased attention and effort, farm families and workers have made significant progress in agricultural safety and health.

Much credit also goes to the work and contributions of many people

U.S. Senate Tom Harkin Democrat

in agricultural businesses, private nonprofit organizations, as well as educational and research institutions. All of this effort enhances safety and wellness on our nation’s farms and ranches. Safe farming practices save lives. I am very proud of my work during my years in Congress to support and dedicate increased federal funding to farm safety and health.

Upon becoming chairman of the U.S. Senate subcommittee that funds health programs, I provided added funds to create a new, concentrated federal focus on agricultural safety and health at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. A big, early step in my initiative was the landmark 1991 Surgeon General’s conference on agricultural safety and health held in Des Moines. Over the years, I have continued funding for this purpose, particularly to our nation’s agricultural safety and health centers, such as the Great Plains Center for Agricultural Health at the University of Iowa and the National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety. My appropriations subcommittee also supplies ongoing funding for agricultural safety grants through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

The U.S. Department of Agriculture also supports farm safety and health initiatives, especially for young people in agriculture, which I have proudly supported as a longstanding member of the Senate appropriations and agriculture committees. My support includes funding specifically for the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS) at the Northeast Iowa Community College in Peosta, Farm Safety 4 Just Kids in Urbandale and AgrAbility, which helps agricultural producers and workers having a wide range of physical or behavioral conditions.

Please be especially careful out there this fall and throughout the year. Safety on and around Iowa’s farms requires extra care on everyone’s part – including motorists and the general public. Fortunately, a lot of good people and organizations are working successfully to help make farms not only wonderful places to live and work, but also safer and healthier. I am proud to support these efforts and wish everyone a safe harvest!

BUSINESS/FARM How well did the Fed’s stimulus work?

NEW YORK (AP) — Soaring inflation. A collapsing dollar. Bubbles in financial markets that would soon pop. One presidential candidate even suggested that the Federal Reserve chairman should be roughed up.

Over the past five years, as the Fed has pumped ever-more money into the financial system, critics have warned that it would lead to all kinds of disasters. Yet the central bank kept extending its bond-buying program, known by the wonky name of quantitative easing, or QE. It was an unprecedented effort aimed at lowering borrowing costs, encouraging spending and reviving a dormant economy before it could slip back into recession.

Now, $4 trillion later, QE is drawing to a close, so the question is: Did it work?

Economists have plenty of quibbles, but many agree that the Fed accomplished the bulk of its goals.

“Look at us now,” says Anthony Chan, chief economist for Chase Private Client in New York. All of the jobs lost during the financial crisis have been recovered. The stock market has more than doubled, and inflation has remained tame.

“I have to say it was a pretty impressive success,” Chan says. “But other people define success differently.”

At the tail end of 2008, the Fed cut its short-term lending rate to a record low to spur growth, then made an historic move. It launched the first round of QE, aiming to buy $600 billion in bonds backed by mortgages and other debts tied to the crumbling housing market. The Bush administration had already hatched a number of rescue programs aimed at patching up the banking system, and so the Fed’s first step met little resistance.

Liz Ann Sonders, the chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, compared the Fed’s action to a famous scene in the movie “Pulp Fiction” when Vincent, played

by John Travolta, revives a woman near death.

“It was like Travolta slamming the needle into her heart,” Sonders says. “It was clearly the right thing to do.”

The Fed’s second round of quantitative easing, dubbed QE2, received a more hostile reception.

In late August 2010, the economy had slowed to a crawl, and the big worry was deflation — a dangerous

spiral of falling prices and wages. During a speech that month in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke outlined a turnaround plan.

The Fed began buying $600 billion in U.S. government bonds that November to loud protests.

QE3 followed the next year, and the heated rhetoric increased.

John Boehner, the speaker of the House, argued that the Fed risked creating “hardto-control” inflation, a weak U.S. dollar and market bubbles. After entering the presidential campaign in 2011, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said that it would be “almost treasonous” if Bernanke “prints more money” ahead of the election. Perry told an Iowa crowd “we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas.”

Here’s what has actually happened since Bernanke made the case for the Fed’s expanded effort in August 2010: — The unemployment rate has fallen to 5.9 percent, the lowest level since July 2008.

Back in August 2010, it was 9.6 percent.

— The stock market has soared. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index has re-

Deadline to seed winter hardy cover crops extended to Nov. 15 DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey and State Agronomist Barb Stewart with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service announced farmers participating in state cost-share and most federal financial assistance programs now have until Nov. 15 to plant winter hardy cover crops and still qualify for assistance.

The seeding date is extended following the announcement that only 81 percent of Iowa’s soybeans and 36 percent of corn were harvested as of Sunday.

“The crop report indicates both corn and soybean harvests are behind the fiveyear average,” said Northey.

“Extending the deadline to November 15 will allow additional farmers to get cover crops planted while still benefiting water quality.”

Winter hardy cover crops include cereal rye, winter wheat and triticale, among

B&B

Brad Riley 641-349-8455 641-344-2064 Jake Riley 641-202-2442

others. An extension was given to farmers last year, too, following a late harvest.

“Late seeded winter hardy cover crops provided adequate spring growth for erosion control last year when allowed to grow to at least eight inches tall before termination,” said Stewart.

Guidance from Iowa State University confirmed cover crops planted through the Nov. 15 deadline still have the potential to provide a substantial reduction in nutrient losses and soil erosion.

The following applies to cover crops planted in the extension period (Oct. 16 – Nov. 15): • Cover crops will be seeded as soon as possible after harvest of the principal crop.

• The cover crop to be seeded must be winter hardy (i.e. cereal rye, winter wheat, triticale).

• The cover crop will be no-till drilled in crop residue.

The Jewel Box

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans signing contracts to buy homes ticked up only slightly in September, as it remained difficult to qualify for mortgage financing.

The National Association of Realtors said Monday that its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index rose 0.3 percent over the past month to 105. The index remains half a percentage point below its 2013 average, although 1 percent higher than a year ago.

Tight credit and price increases through the middle of 2013 have limited buying activity. About 15 percent of the real estate agents surveyed for the index said they couldn’t close a deal because the buyer was unable to obtain a mortgage.

“We continue to see steady, albeit modest, improvement in this sector,” said Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.

Pending sales are a barometer of future purchases. A one- to two-month lag usually exists between a contract and a completed

sale. The number of contract signings increased in the Northeast, South and West last month, while declining in the Midwest.

Federal regulators approved plans last week to expand the availability of credit. Five agencies — including the Federal Reserve and the Securities and Exchange Commission — backed changes to the rules on how much risk banks can accept when they package and sell mortgage securities in a multitrillion-dollar market.

The modified rules should enable buyers to put less money down on a home. Regulators ended the requirement that borrowers make a 20-percent down payment if the lending bank didn’t hold at least 5 percent of the mortgage securities tied on its books.

Additionally, average mortgage rates have fallen for the past five weeks. The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage tumbled last week to 3.92 percent, a 52-week low, according to the government-supported mortgage firm Freddie Mac.

Cronus Chemicals plans to build a $1.4 billion fertilizer plant CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) A chemical company plans to build a $1.4 billion fertilizer plant in eastern Illinois, state economic officials confirmed Tuesday.

Cronus Chemicals will build the plant just outside Tuscola, a town about 20 miles south of Champaign, and plans to open a U.S. headquarters in Chicago, according to Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity spokesman David Roeder.

The Cronus Fertilizers plant will employ about 175 people, while another 2,000

temporary construction jobs are expected to be created while the plant is being built. Construction is expected to start on the plant next spring and take about three years.

Cronus is owned by a group of Swiss and Turkish investors. In discussions going back more than a year, Tuscola had been competing for the plant against an alternative site in Mitchell County, Iowa. Sites in other states were also considered.

The 250-acre Tuscola site is primarily farm land that sits alongside a CSX rail

line. It is also near Interstate 57 and has easy access to major natural gas lines — a key component in fertilizer production. The site was once considered for the FutureGen clean-coal project.

Details of any incentives that Illinois offered to Cronus weren’t immediately available. Officials say the Chicago U.S. headquarters will have about 25 employees.

(Must be allowed to grow until at least 8 inches for those participating in federal programs) • The extension does not apply for all federal programs. Contact your NRCS office if you have questions.

turned 101 percent, powered by a stronger economy, higher spending and record corporate profits.

— The dollar has held up against most major currencies. One widely used measure, the dollar index, is 3 percent higher.

— Inflation has remained tame, despite all the warnings. Over the past year, overall prices have climbed a modest 1.7 percent, still below the 2 percent annual increase that the Fed targets.

To be sure, the Fed’s efforts merely contributed to all the good things listed above. But none of the predicted disasters came true. So how did the loudest critics get it so wrong?

A common warning was that the policies would erode the dollar’s value and cause investors to look for a replacement, like gold or the Swiss franc.

Chan says a flaw in this thinking was that it failed to consider that other countries would struggle, too. When investors worried that Greece’s debt troubles could tear apart Europe, for instance, they rushed to buy dollars and U.S. Treasury bonds, still considered the world’s haven.

‘Watts’ the number?

Dear Heloise: In a column, a woman stated that her MICROWAVE WATTAGE did not match many of the wattages on prepackaged items.

There are microwave conversion charts available on the Internet. I have an older oven, so I looked up the wattage on it and downloaded the page that shows the difference in time from the more modern wattage used by many of the prepackaged foods. It is very helpful.

— J.E., via email Yes, there are many folks who still have older microwaves. However, not everyone has easy access to a computer. If that’s the case, you can always microwave food a few seconds or minutes (depending on the instruction) at a time.

Check to see when the food is cooked or heated. — Heloise P.S.: Call the free phone number on the package to be sure about the heating time.

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

Hints from Heloise Dear Heloise: I use ground beef, but it’s a mess to cook and clean up, and it’s so fatty from browning. Here is what I do: I boil it instead of cooking it in a frying pan. I use a stockpot with enough water to cover the beef, and bring it to a boil. I add the beef and stir occasionally to break up clumps. When there’s no pink color, it’s cooked. I just drain and use. This works really well in stews, chili or soups. — C.V. in St. Louis NO LUMPS Dear Heloise: I have made boxed macaroni and cheese, adding the butter, milk and cheese powder with no problem. Lately, the cheese powder clumps and doesn’t mix well.

Maybe it’s just the brand.

Now I put the powder in a bowl and add a little milk (it’s in the recipe) to make a paste, then add the rest of the milk. I have a pre-mixed cheese sauce to add to the drained macaroni right in the serving dish. Works like a charm! — Shirley H., Bogalusa, La.

There is always a way! It may be the brand, so try a different one and see what happens. — Heloise SCENTS FOR LESS Dear Heloise: I’m not fond of using scented candles. So here is what I do to make my home smell pleasant: I put a large saucepan of water on the stove and add some fall type of spices. I drop in fruit peels, like apples or lemon, and let it boil for a few minutes, then lower the heat and simmer. I check it often, and add more water as needed. Here’s one I use most: The skin and even cores of apples Peel of an orange, lemon or grapefruit.

My hint is to intersperse them (Heloise here: stacking a larger can between the small ones) with a can of tuna or other similar-size can, like pineapple rings. — Jim B., via email (c)2014 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

National Digest

Royals romp KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The raucous roar at Kauffman Stadium swelled with every batter in the second inning and then got louder the rest of the night.

As bouncers rolled by infielders and bloops dropped in front of outfielders, it became clear this World Series was headed to a climactic Game 7 - just like the one 29 years ago when the Kansas City Royals won their only title.

Lorenzo Cain looped a two-run single — one of eight Royals to get hits in a seven-run second inning — and Eric Hosmer chopped a two-run double over shortstop as the Royals battered the San Francisco Giants 10-0 Tuesday night to tie the Series at three games apiece.

Pitching with the initials of late St. Louis outfielder Oscar Taveras on his cap, 23-year-old rookie Yordano Ventura allowed three hits over seven innings for his first Series win.

Jeremy Guthrie starts tonight for Kansas City and Tim Hudson for San Francisco in a rematch of Game 3, won by Kansas City 3-2. Hudson, 39, will become the oldest Game 7 starter in Series history.

Playoff list GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) — The College Football Playoff selection committee has spoken — and it likes the SEC. At least for now.

Mississippi State, Florida State, Auburn and Mississippi are the top four teams in the first College Football Playoff rankings.

The first of seven Top 25 rankings compiled by a 12-member selection committee was released Tuesday night. The selection committee will ultimately pick the four teams to play in the national semifinals and set the matchups for the other four big New Year’s Day bowls that are part of the playoff rotation.

“There are 18 one-loss teams in FBS at this point in time, and the difference between many of them is very slim,” committee chairman Jeff Long said.

Oregon was fifth and Alabama was sixth, giving the Southeastern Conference’s West Division four of the top six teams.

There are still four games remaining matching those SEC West rivals, starting with Saturday’s matchup of Auburn and Ole Miss in Oxford, Mississippi.

MURRAY — Murray head coach Jerry Shields has bragging rights over his daughter, Mount Ayr head coach Tori Braby, for a little while longer after the Lady Mustangs survived a 25-16, 17-25, 25-14, 22-25, 16-14 Class 1A Region 3 quarterfinal matchup with the Raiderettes here on Tuesday.

The two teams went back and forth in the final set, with both going on mini runs to build small leads, until Mount Ayr served for match point with a 14-13 lead.

But a Madison Gonseth tip, a Hannah Barber kill and a block from Gonseth gave Murray the five-set victory in front of packed house in the Jerry Brown Gymnasium.

“We talked about it be-

fore the game, and I said I expect this thing to go five,” Shields said. “You can’t get much further than going five and going 16-14. It was a whale of a match the whole night.”

Even though her team came out on the losing side, Braby said she couldn’t have asked for a better performance in the final match.

“Of course you want to move on, but to play like

that to end it, I think that shows exactly what the girls have worked for all season,” she said. “We knew Murray’s a great team and we knew we were probably going to go five. It just didn’t

fall our way, I guess.”

Murray took a 4-1 lead in the fifth and final set, a race to 15 points. Then Mount Ayr built a 7-5 lead, before Murray took control at 8-7.

Mount Ayr rallied for a 10-8 lead on a dump deep into the Murray court from Sadie Frost.

After Murray took a 1211 lead, Frost tipped to an open spot in the Murray court and then went to the service line, where she delivered an ace to put the Raiderettes on top 13-12.

But Mount Ayr was unable to keep the roll going.

“No matter what happened tonight, I felt like our girls did a great job of bouncing back,” Braby said.

‘Competitive atmosphere’ fuels new-look Spartan men

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

The 2014 edition of the Southwestern Community College men’s basketball team features an all-new coaching staff, and a nearly all-new roster.

First-year head coach Todd Lorensen, a Monroe native who played at Quincy University and Grand V i e w University before coaching Lorensen at University of Nebraska Omaha, Truman State University and Iowa Wesleyan University, has a roster of 19 this year.

That’s been a blessing for the Spartans, who open the season Monday at home against Graceland.

“For me, I like having more guys,” Lorensen said.

“It creates a competitive atmosphere, which I think is important at this level. Unfortunately, there’s always going to be injuries and illnesses, so

I like to have the extra guys to have an insurance policy, so to say.”

That competitive atmosphere will pay off for the Spartans once they get into the rugged ICCAC portion of their schedule later in the year.

It’s that rugged competitiveness within the league that was a major draw for Lorensen when taking the job.

“It’s an incredible league,” he said. “If you’re good enough to win this league, you’re good enough to go to Danville and win the whole

thing. It’s going to be a heck of a league like it is every year.”

Lorensen said the usual suspects — teams like Kirkwood and DMACC — will likely be the top teams in the league this year. He hopes his team will be able to surprise

some people this year.

“I would say, if you polled the rest of the teams in a coaches poll, we’d probably be picked last,” he said. “I’ve got no problems with that.

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

EARLHAM — Southwest Valley came out on top of three close games in sweeping Earlham 25-23, 26-24, 25-23 in a Class 2A quarterfinal match here Tuesday night.

Earlham, previously

ranked and coming into the match at 18-4, fell behind in each set and then rallied to make each one tight at the finish.

Southwest Valley, 1511, advances to Friday’s semifinal match at 7 p.m. against 11th-ranked Woodward-Granger, coached by Meg Jackson and Kate Hargrafen,

sisters of Creston coach Polly Luther. W-G swept Central Decatur, 3-0. The winner of Friday’s match plays in the regional finals on Wednesday.

As 3-0 sweeps go, this was as competitive as it gets.

“It was a battle for every point,” Southwest Valley coach Lindsay Wetzel

Gun accident LAS VEGAS (AP) — Former major league slugger Jose Canseco is recovering after shooting himself in the hand at his Las Vegas home.

Metro police Lt. Mark Reddon says officers responded to a call of an accidental shooting shortly after 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Reddon says the former Oakland Athletics outfielder told police he was cleaning his gun in the kitchen when it fired, shooting a finger on his left hand. He was taken to University Medical Center of Southern Nevada.

They had some aggressive servers.”

Senior Jess Igarashi was a strong outside hitter for Earlham, finding angles around the Timberwolves’ blocks, and setter Anna Anker was adept at some timely dumps into open areas.

But in the end, Southwest Valley had more power and depth at the net. Marie Palmer had 16 kills in 29 attacks, but had support f r o m Jade Petersen and Lexi B r o n n e r Palmer with five each and Danica Sunderman with four. Kelsey Means had four blocks.

“Marie had 16 kills and only two attack errors in 29 attempts,” Wetzel said.

GRISWOLD — Host Griswold advanced to Friday’s Class 1A regional semifinals at home against Stanton with a 25-10, 25-16, 25-17 victory over Lenox Tuesday night.

Griswold (20-9) takes on a Stanton team (24-10) that beat Bedford Tuesday, 3-1. The regional finals are Wednesday in Greenfield.

Lenox bows out at 6-18.

Tiger coach Sara Dukes said the 25-10 opening game set the tone for the night. The next two sets were more competitive, but errors still hampered the Tigers.

“We didn’t come off the bus playing as strong as we wanted to,” Dukes said.

“We made too many errors.

Griswold has an outstanding freshman hitter who really hits the line shots well.

The others place the ball well.”

Katie Dukes, playing her final match for the Tigers, had a team-high eight kills.

Quarterback Jaden Driskell completed three touchdown passes — two to Dustin Merritt and another to Evan Jacobson.

Merritt had eight tackles for the Panther defense and Michael Stults had seven.

“This was a fun game to watch and coach,” Panther coach Jon Thomson said.

“We were down going into the second half, but I wasn’t worried. We were moving

the ball really well, throwing and catching. I am very pleased that at the beginning of the year this team would have folded being down, but they have grown so much over the season that they dug their heels in and got after things. I was comfortable enough open the playbook up and do what we wanted.”

Thomson said the defense made timely big plays, putting pressure on the Trojans.

“We ended the year on a good note,” Thomson said.

“Thanks to all the parents and fans for their support this year.”

“Our boys have improved so much since the first game.

It’s a great testament to their ability to learn and improve.

Coach (Jerry) Hartman and I are so proud we could bust.

Another great asset for these boys is it’s the first time we’ve had zero ineligibilities. That’s great team effort!”

After dropping the fourth set, Shields reminded his team that it’s built for the fifth set of matches.

“There’s a reason we do a lot of running in practice, so hopefully when we get to set five, we’ll have enough energy to finish,” he said. “I thought we had some good energy there at the end to get the win.”

Murray now moves on to Friday’s regional semifinal match at home against Bluegrass Conference rival and sixth-ranked Grand View Christian.

“Getting to play here at home is the big thing,” Shields said. “Knock on wood, we haven’t been beat here yet, and hopefully we won’t be after Friday. Grand View is sixth in the state.

With the win, Shields keeps bragging rights over his daughter. But, Braby said that may not last long.

“I think one more time, that’s about all he gets,” she said. “Even if we didn’t get the win, playing against my dad in that kind of match is exactly what he’s raised me and taught me to do. I tried pulling just as many tricks on him as he pulled on me. I’m hoping to have a great program like he’s had.”

Shields said it’s been fun watching Braby build her program at Mount Ayr. “It’s really nice for me, because she coached here under me and played under me,” he said. “It’s really nice to see her be able to go out on her own and be successful. I’m really proud of what she’s done down there this year.”

After the conclusion of the match, Shields and Braby shared an embrace and center court.

“I just told her good job,” Shields said. “She did a whale of a job tonight and Kelcie did a heck of a job from the middle. They’ve got nothing to hang their heads about. They played just as hard as we did, we just happened to come out with a two-point win at the

Creston News Advertiser Wednesday, October 29, 2014

SWCC: Continued from page 7A

We’re just going to go out, work really hard and take care of what we can control. I think if we do that, the results will speak for themselves.”

Experience Only three players return from last year’s 8-22 Spartan squad that went 1-13 in ICCAC play.

Helpful for Lorensen is the return of 6-7, 240-pound forward Mataika Koyamainavure of Fiji. Koyamainavure averaged more than 12 points and seven rebounds per game Koyamainavure for the Spartans last year.

“There’s not a price you can put on experience,” Lorensen said. “Mataika was a very high-level player last year as a freshman. You do the percentages, he was 23 percent of their scoring, which is a huge chunk. We expect some big things out of him. He’s a great kid. He works hard, and I think he could be a really big force for us on the block.”

Tanner Kellogg, a 6-2, 200-pound forward from Albia, also returns with some starting experience.

Nikola Drobnjak, a 6-8, 200-pound forward from Serbia, provides the Spartans with a skilled passer from the post.

“Tanner Kellogg had a really good year, especially down the stretch of the season when he moved into a starting role,” Lorensen said. “He’s an extremely competitive kid and brings some juice and fire on a daily basis that’s really put our program in a better position than it would have been without him.”

Newcomers The Southwestern roster has gone through a major overhaul, with 16 new players on the roster.

“I’m really excited about our incoming class,” Lorensen said. “We took a couple of chances on some kids we didn’t have a ton of information on, but had some personal references from coaches I really respect. Fortunately, a couple of those guys are going to pay off for us.”

Sophomores Josh Kirk and Jaylon Smith are two of those newcomers who Lorensen sees as making an impact for the Spartans this year.

Kirk is a 6-3, 185-pound guard from Charlotte, N.C., while Smith is a 6-0, 170-pound guard from Memphis, Tenn.

“Jaylon Smith is a transfer from Shawnee Community College in Illinois,” Lorensen said. “He played a lot last year Smith and even started some games. Averaged around 10 points per game at the Division I Junior College level. He’s played against some high-level competition. Josh Kirk is an extremely athletic guy. He’s 21 years old, so he’s got some physical and mental maturity to him that will help us.”

A pair of freshmen guards in Ahmad Newsome of Lansing, Mich., and former Nodaway Valley standout TJ Bower, have also shown the potential to stand out this season.

Newsome is a 6-2, 185-pound left-handed point guard. Bower measures at 6-3, 185 pounds and is versatile, having played nearly every position on the floor in a record-breaking high school

career at Nodaway Valley.

“Ahmad, he’s been to prep school for a year, so he’s not your typical freshman in college,” Lorensen said. “He’s a very mature kid. Very focused on and off the court. TJ Bower from Nodaway Valley has been everything we could have asked of him so far. He’s Bower a local kid that has put his nose to the grindstone and works hard every day.”

Style of play The Spartans will play a mostly man-to-man defense this year, while looking to push the ball up the floor on the offensive side.

“It’s a gap-oriented defense, which is going to force teams to take a lot of contested jump shots,” Lorensen said. “Offensively, we’re going to push it up and try to find the first best shot we can get. We don’t worry about if the shot comes within the first 10 seconds or at the end of the shot clock. As long as it’s a good shot for our team, we’re going to be happy with that.”

The offense will be motion-based, giving the Spartan players freedom on the court.

“We’ve got some good individual players, and as they develop in this system in a short amount of time, I think it’s really going to benefit them as players,” Lorensen said.

Lorensen will be assisted by Tyler Bullock, who was a player at University of Nebraska Omaha while Lorensen was an assistant coach there.

“He was a heck of a player on the court, a real good competitor,” Lorensen said.

“That’s transitioned well into him being a coach. He’s really fiery, the guys love him. He’s

You can add a little extra hocus pocus to your season by brewing up these chillingly creative treats with the whole family.

The Monster Mash Float and Paranormal Pudding are two ghoulishly good treats that kids and adults alike will love, and they’re easy to make. The fun is all in the Limited Edition TruMoo Orange Scream milk. Inspired by an orange frozen pop with vanilla ice cream, this new creamy orange milk is so frightfully delicious, it’s sure to make you scream.

TruMoo Orange Scream is delicious as an ingredient in your favorite Halloween treats or served by itself. Just make sure to drink it fast - it might disappear into the night like the headless horseman.

What to do With a bag of cranberries I purchased a bag of cranberries and asked myself, “What can I do with the cranberries?” So, I went surfing the net for recipes. I found these two and tried them and I think you will also like them.. One is an appetizer and the other a cake-like delicious bar. Smakelijk eten! turkey and stuffing bites With cranberry dipping sauce 1/2 tsp. pepper For the meatball bites 1/2 medium apple, peeled and grated (I used a Braeburn) 1 1/4 cups packaged seasoned stuffing 1/4 cup finely grated onion 1 1/4 cups turkey or chicken stock 2 tsp. poultry seasoning 1 pound ground turkey 2 large eggs 1 tsp. salt

Monster Mash Float Servings: 1 1 cup TruMoo Orange Scream milk 1 large scoop low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt or ice cream 1 cup chilled seltzer In tall glass, pour in milk. Add scoop of frozen yogurt.

Slowly add seltzer to create foamy, web-like effect on top of float.

Many uses for leftover Halloween candy

Halloween is certainly known for the spooky decorations that adorn homes and for the creative costumes children put on to canvas the neighborhood. But for many youngsters, Halloween is all about the candy.

Once everyone has had their fill of their favorite items, candy often gets relegated to a giant bowl on the kitchen table, where it beckons each resident who passes by.

Rather than submitting to the call of the candy and sacrificing your dental health as a result, enterprising individuals can repurpose that leftover Halloween candy.

Incentives Parents can store extra candy to use as rewards for good behavior. Many parents use sweet treats as rewards for children learning to potty train. Rewarding older children for a job well done cleaning up their rooms or as a special treat for scoring a good grade on a test also can be a way to put the candy to good use.

Gingerbread houses Christmas is just two months after Halloween. Put candy into sealable baggies and use it come the holiday season when building gingerbread houses. You will have a variety of different candies from which to choose and won’t have to purchase anything new in order to decorate your creations.

Advent calendars Halloween candy can be saved to make an Advent calendar. This calendar traditionally counts down to Christmas, revealing a date and a sweet treat behind each door. Instead of purchasing a ready made Advent calendar, families can get together and make one for a family craft as a way to recycle Halloween candy.

Baking Cookies, brownies and cake bars taste even better with peanut butter cups, chips and chocolate candies baked inside. Some candy can be frozen for later use in baked goods.

Baked goods can be enjoyed by the family or used for bake sales for schools and other organizations.

Donations Hospitals, doctors’ offices and nursing homes may appreciate donations of candy for staff and visitors. You can visit different places to see if they would appreciate a candy donation.

For the cranberry sauce 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries 1/2 cup orange juice

3/4 cup sugar 1 tsp. coarse grain mustard

Heat the oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil. If using foil, coat it with cooking spray. In a small bowl, stir together the stuffing and the stock. Let the mixture stand for about 2 minutes to soften. Place the turkey in a large mixing bowl. Add the salt, pepper, apple, onion, poultry seasoning, eggs, and stuffing mixture and stir until well blended. Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and put them on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until they are cooked through, firm, and browned, about 20 minutes. While the meatballs bake, make the cranberry dip. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together the cranberries, orange juice, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the mustard. Use an immersion blender or food processor to puree the sauce. Serve it on the side with the meatballs. Makes about 24 meatballs. cranberry almond bars 3/4 cups unsalted butter 1/3 cups slivered almonds, divided 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/8 tsp. salt

1 1/2 cup sugar 2 whole eggs 1 tsp. almond extract 2 cups cranberries, fresh

Melt the butter and set aside to cool. Reserve 2 tablespoons (I used about 4 Tbps.) of the almonds for the top of the batter and chop the remaining almonds (I used 1/3 cup chopped almonds). Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 °. Butter an 8 x 8 inch pan. Whisk together the flour and salt; set aside. Beat the sugar and eggs for 3 minutes. Add the cooled melted butter and almond extract (I used about t 1/2 tsp.); beat until combined. Add the flour to the sugar/butter mixture and mix on low until combined. Stir in the cranberries and chopped almonds. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Spread evenly with an offset spatula (if you have one).

Sprinkle with the reserved almonds. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with crumbs, not wet. (Cover with foil during the last 5 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning, if necessary.) Cool in the pan on a cooling rack. Makes 12 bars.

Call Barb when you make these bars...she loves them and will help you eat them! what’s cookin’ in kyp’s kitchen sponsored by:
