Team Captain Ethan Jolliff of Indianola said a lot of work goes in to host a shoot out. He said the team will start stocking the trap houses with clay targets Thursday to make sure there is enough for Saturday’s contest.

Jolliff got started trap shooting as an eighth-grader for the Indianola FFA chap-

total rounds at a single, clay target. Each squad is scored by the number of hit targets out of 500 attempts.

In the second round, shooters get two shots to take down two targets.

“It’s basically the same game, but you get two shots instead of one,” Mundy said.

An architect and construction management adviser were chosen for Southwestern Community College’s new dormitory project during a special meeting of the board of directors Monday.

Board members Vicki Sickels of Mount Ayr and Carol Saxton of Leon were absent.

The building will be located south of the Instructional Center.

Contracts The board unanimously approved a contract with Invision of Des Moines to do the architectural work and Story Construction of Ames as construction management adviser.

Several public hearings are slated for Nov. 19 in regard to the project. The hearings, starting at 5:30 p.m. in the board room of SWCC’s administration building, are for contractors

to put bids in for the project’s earthwork and major utilities, footings and foundations and sale and issuance of dormitory revenue bonds.

“We’re going to push it to Nov. 19 to give contractors a little more time to bid on the footings and the dirt work,” said Tom Lesan, S W C C vice president of economic development.

Lesan said once the hear- Lesan ings take place, he hopes the project will begin without hesitation.

“The dirt work will hopefully start Nov. 20,” said Lesan.

Lesan also said he thinks the rest of the currently approved contracts will start in January, if not sooner.

Cuts to food stamps will dominate talks on farm bill WASHINGTON — Negotiators in the Senate and House of Representatives will convene today to begin resolving differences in a longdelayed farm bill.

The 41-member panel must bridge a huge divide in the five-year, $500 billion reauthorization bill’s most contentious issue: cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, called food stamps.

The Republican-controlled House passed a bill that would cut food stamps by $39 billion out of a projected $800 billion over 10 years. The House SNAP provision would require able-bodied adults without children to work or volunteer for 20 hours a week to receive federal assistance.

The Democratic-held Senate’s farm bill also would cut food stamps, but by $4.5 billion over a decade, but wouldn’t add work requirements.

“I hope they can find a way

to thread the needle,” said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., one of the conferees. “I hope we can figure it out, because there’s too much riding on passing the farm bill to allow the nutrition title to derail it.”

The differences over food stamps could jeopardize a bill that sets farm policy and covers conservation programs, insurance and farm subsidy programs. There are lesser disputes over a measure to lower crop insurance subsidies to farmers with gross adjusted incomes over $750,000 a year.

The Senate bill also would require farmers who receive crop insurance to meet certain environmental standards. The House bill does not.

It’s been a tough slog for the farm bill, which was authorized in 2008 and expired last year. Congress extended it through September, hoping to buy more time to reach a deal.

More than anything else,

the talks face a division over how to cut food stamps.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, appointed Rep. Steve Southerland, RFla., to the conference committee. Southerland, who isn’t a member of the House Agriculture Committee, is a driving force behind the work provision.

“There have been people who have not been allowed to be initiated to the beauty of work,” Southerland said. “I don’t know where the happy medium is, because obviously there are differences between the two bills. ” Several Democratic lawmakers say they aren’t in a compromising mood. They said the House cuts would harm needy Americans.

SWCC will have at least four active squads on the firing line Saturday. Unlike most college sports, the team can be coed.

“In high school, our team had about 20 girls,” Jolliff said.

building as soon as weather permits,” Lesan said. “If they get the dirt work and footings done, they feel like they can get the building done by August.”

Dormitory The new dormitory will come after a decrease in enrolled students, but with more students opting to stay

on campus.

The average age of students dropped from 22.2 to 21.7 years old, based on a fall 2013 enrollment report. The report also states students attending college directly out of high school increased from 224 to 231 since 2012.

The dormitory, which will house 88 students with their own rooms, will be apart-

ment-style similar to Spartan Hall and Spartan Suites.

It is estimated to cost $6.2 million to build the threestory building.

As of Wednesday, any participant who enrolls in the no-cost program could be eligible for twice as much nicotine replacement therapy – eight weeks instead of four weeks.

“We believe this change offers Iowans who need help quitting smoking or using smokeless tobacco a greater incentive to enroll in Quitline Iowa,” said IDPH Director Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks. “The longer an individual has access to NRT, the more likely they are to stay tobacco free. It’s hoped that by expanding access to nicotine replacement patches, lozenges or gum, those struggling with withdrawal symp-

OPINION

Surround yourself with people who challenge you to be better For the past couple of weeks, the same question has surfaced with every interaction I have had with former classmates, friends and members of the community who have grown to know me through the newspaper — Am I happy I moved back to Iowa?

I could give a simple answer of yes or no, but the complexity of the question cannot be justified with a one-word response.

While the question addresses my preference of location between Iowa or my experiences in Texas, California and the East Coast, it also challenges me to think about what truly makes me happy.

I reserve the right to change my answer once the snow starts flying

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham staff writer

and my friends in Texas send me pictures by the pool, but I am happy I made the move back to Iowa and this is why: Despite the crazy hours and constant change of pace in the newspaper business, I really enjoy my job and the people I work with on a daily basis. While I am still working through some growing pains as a new reporter at a daily paper, I am also taking every opportunity

to learn from the veterans on staff.

I also enjoy being closer to family. It is nice to be able to steal leftovers and raid the cupboards while waiting for another load of laundry to finish. This is the first time in five years I will be home to celebrate my father’s birthday today — hopefully my presence counts as my present this year.

Coaching has always been a dream of mine and moving back to Iowa gave me the opportunity to coach at Southwestern Community College. While not every day has been easy, the relationships I have built with athletes, coaches and SWCC faculty and staff have been worth the pressures associated with coaching.

I also credit SWCC for a lot of the opportunities and connections I made that allowed me to travel the country and build life experiences. It is nice to have a chance to do the same for college freshmen and sophomores.

All of these things make me happy, but they all contain a common theme — individuals who are positive and challenge me to be a better person.

I feel the mentality with young adults is trending away from wanting a challenge. Not only does this have an impact on the quality of work that gets accomplished, it alters relationships you have with coworkers and individuals in your

personal life.

Bill Bowerman, Oregon’s legendary coach and Nike’s co-founder, describes it well from the perspective of preparing for a race, “If you go out to race, and you know you’ll lose, there’s no probability involved. You’ll lose. But if you go out knowing you will never give up, you’ll still lose most of the time, but you’ll be in the best position to kick from on that rare day when everything breaks right.”

Iowa has put me in the best position to surround myself with people who challenge me to be better every day, and I couldn’t be happier to have that influencing my life for when my next break comes.

Dr. Conrad Murray was released from prison HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Oklahoma-Texas Tech game on Fox ran into the World Series Saturday so it was switched to Fox News. OU won. Afterwards, Fox News commentators credited OU’s win to its conservative game plan and blamed Texas Tech’s loss on Obama’s failed policies.

Taco Bell added an item which has nachos and cheese and chicken nuggets and fried beef wrapped up in a corn tortilla. Good timing. Just when Americans had pretty much decided to ignore ObamaCare, something comes along to remind us we’re likely to need it.

Dr. Conrad Murray was released from prison in California after serving two years for accidentally killing Michael Jackson with an overdose of propofol.

He said that he wants to meet privately with each member of the Jackson family. It might help them sleep better.

The ACLU asked the Minnesota Vikings not to use the Redskins name in next week’s game. The Vikings conquered Normandy and Britain, whose descendants stole America and bought slaves to farm it. Using the word Redskins could ruin the good name of Viking.

Toyota lost a costly suddenacceleration lawsuit Monday which opened the gates for more lawsuits over the car’s faulty brakes. It’s bad. Last week a guy in Beverly Hills left a brand new Camry in the driveway for his wife and he was arrested for attempted murder.

drivers per mile. It’s a magic show.

If you want to turn thirty million Hispanics into Republicans, tell them they must replace the Virgin Mary with a GPS tracker.

Senator Ted Cruz gave a presidential campaign-style speech in Iowa Saturday where he laid out his political principles. He wants to blunt criticism that he’s not serious.

Last night in an effort to look more presidential, Ted Cruz launched a website that doesn’t work.

GOP billionaire donor Shelly Adelson urged the U.S. to drop a nuclear device in Iran’s desert as a warning to halt weapons production. A showdown is near. Iran’s website designers are said to be about a month away from being able to drop ObamaCare on Israel.

The White House on Monday admitted that President Obama’s promise that you will get to keep your doctor under ObamaCare may not be true. Credibility is low. Last week President Obama told schoolkids his favorite food is broccoli, and they believed him, and then he told them that ObamaCare will reduce the deficit, and they burst out laughing.

The White House rejected any attempts by Democratic and GOP lawmakers to delay ObamaCare Monday. That’s that. ObamaCare will start in about six months, which means if you go to the emergency room now, you’ll be covered by the time you finally see a doctor.

Letters to the editor

Two coaches to be commended From Lynn Sandeman Ames

I had the pleasure this fall of watching two CHS athletics teams whose coaches, I feel, deserve to be commended: JV volleyball coach Jessie McClellan and cross country coach Pat Schlapia.

It was fun to watch these two coaches interact with their team members in a way that appeared to make the athletes feel valued

and appreciated, whether the firstplace finisher, the last-place finisher, a JV, senior or a freshman.

Coaches McClellan and Schlapia set the tone for their successful seasons with just the right blend of fun and competitiveness, plus respect for every single student athlete.

Creston parents should feel fortunate to have these two talented coaches impacting the high school experiences of their sons and daughters.

We like to hear from you!

One hundred and sixty-eight hours later From Josiah LeibowitzMahurin Creston

One hundred and sixty-eight hours, otherwise known as seven days or even simply one week. I wrote last week to report on the heroic rescue of six forlorn felines.

If you don’t remember the story, it can be summarized by my mother Cathi Mahurin jumping a fence into a pool of stagnant water to help six kittens who were trapped in a bag to drown.

I do hope whomever threw them into the creek has had the chance to see my story and feel some shred of remorse for their act and a tinge of self hatred for their act of ruthless cruelty, but I digress. Nonetheless, we are now in the possession

of sextuplets in wonderful shape and invigorated spirits. I mentioned that my mother runs Cathi’s Pet Penthouse, which is an in-home animal rescue effort. In addition to these wonderful longhaired kittens, we now have three adorable canines up for adoption.

Our first adoptable addition is a year old apple head chihuahua named Piqueto. He is about a year old but does have a bit of a temperament. He is shy and not much of a people person. It will take some personal bonding with a loving owner. He was rescued in Panora, Iowa, along with a ring of cats that were being horded. He is very cute and about the smallest dog you might ever see.

Second, is a min pin chi we call Coco. She is young and very ener-

getic. She will be an easy addition to any home. We don’t know much about where she came from or her past, but she is a wonderful sweetheart.

Third is the one we call Scrappy.

He is pug mix and quite a happy little dog. He has some facial damage from his past. It appears he was beaten at one point. Other than cosmetic, he is happy and very healthy.

If you want to inquire about our pack of adoptable, adorable and affordable pets, you can reach us anytime at 641-202-1165. Or like us on Facebook at https://www. facebook.com/Cathipetpenthouse.

There we have pictures and articles on all our pets. New additions are always coming in.

Timberwolves block Mount Ayr’s path to regional semis

points to get to 16-16, but Palmer hit a laser into the middle of the Mount Ayr defense, putting Sleep on the service line with a 1716 lead.

Sleep served the next six points with Maynes capping the run of with a tip and a kill, making the score 23-16.

Mount Ayr’s Tessa Shields ended the run, however; and the Raiderettes fought back to make the score 23-21.

But Maynes hit another kill to make it 24-21 and Mount Ayr couldn’t get the ball inbounds over the net to finish the match.

“I told the girls we had nothing to lose, so just come out and leave everything on the floor like it’s your last game, and unfortunately it was our last game,” Braby said. “Our girls gave every bit of effort they could. Southwest Valley is just a very good team.”

It was an improved effort over the previous two matchups against Southwest Valley, in which the Raiderettes failed to score more than 15 points in any of the five games they played.

“We did not show up scared,” Braby said. “We showed up ready to play, and that’s a big change from the last time we played them.”

On a night when Southwest Valley served well as a team, Wetzel said Kelsie Kinman’s serving stood out.

National Digest Rice out SEATTLE — Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice tore his ACL during Monday’s win in St. Louis and is out for the season, a source said Tuesday. Rice also was suffering from concussion-like symptoms following the game.

Rice has 15 catches for 231 yards and three touchdowns.

Rice had been dealing with knee problems since the offseason. The head injury is as concerning as the torn ACL for a player whose 2011 was cut short by two concussions in three weeks. When the 2013 season ends, Rice will have appeared in just 39 of a possible 64 games going back to 2009.

Strong start MIAMI — Shane Battier went 4 for 4 from 3-point range, including a critical one from the right corner with 1:33 remaining, and the Miami Heat wasted most of what was a 25-point lead before holding off Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls 107-95 on Tuesday night in the season-opener for both teams.

LeBron James had 17 points, eight assists and six rebounds for Miami, which got its 2013 NBA championship rings and raised the franchise’s third banner in a pregame ceremony. The Heat trailed 9-2 early, then outscored Chicago 52-24 over the remainder of the first half.

Rose finished with 12 points in 34 minutes in his first game since a serious knee injury in April 2012. Carlos Boozer had 31 points and seven rebounds for Chicago, which got within eight points in the final minutes.

L.A. battle LOS ANGELES — Xavier Henry scored a career-high 22 points, Jordan Farmar added 16, and five Los Angeles Lakers reserves surged past the Los Angeles Clippers in the fourth quarter for a surprising 116-103 victory in both clubs’ season opener Tuesday night.

With Kobe Bryant watching in street clothes behind Pau Gasol and Steve Nash on the Lakers’ bench, Jodie Meeks scored nine of his 13 points in the fourth quarter as the Lakers stunned their Staples Center rivals in Clippers coach Doc Rivers’ debut.

The Lakers did it down the stretch with a lineup comprised entirely of backups — including three who weren’t on the team last season. Henry scored 12 points in the fourth quarter while leading a decisive 28-8 run.

CORNING — Mount Ayr gave Southwest Valley a challenge here Tuesday in a Class 2A regional quarterfinal match, but the Timberwolves pulled off the 25-16, 25-17, 25-21 sweep to advance to the semifinals.

In a back-and-forth game one, Southwest Valley senior Sydney Maynes had a pair of blocks in a run that stretched a 9-8 lead to 13-8 for the Timberwolves.

Then, with the two teams knotted at 16-16, Maynes smoked a kill into a seam down the middle of Mount Ayr’s defense to give the Timberwolves a 17-16 lead.

Maynes stepped to the service line, and reeled off eight straight points to give Southwest Val- Maynes ley the 25-16 win in game one.

“That was huge. Getting those stuff blocks is a huge momentum swing to our side,” Southwest Valley head coach Lindsay Wetzel said. “It gets the girls excited. It makes the hitters on the other side a little nervous. They don’t want to hit it at her and get it blocked like that. That was huge for her to come out of the gate like that.”

It was just the spark the Timberwolves needed, af-

ter a sluggish start following not having played since Oct. 17.

“We didn’t play that first round, and we’ve had a lot of time off,” Wetzel said.

“I kind of expected a little sluggish, flatness out of the gate, but you know they’ve (Mount Ayr) improved and (Kelcie) Shields kind of gave us trouble on the outside there.”

Shields, along with Mount Ayr’s other primary hitter senior Paige Daughton, had to work for every point they earned, however, thanks to Southwest Valley’s strong blocking.

“They do a great job blocking,” Mount Ayr head coach Tori Braby

said. “They know we have two main hitters, and they triple blocked them a lot in the middle, so that really threw us off. Our other hitters just didn’t step up and take the pressure off our hitters. We kind of worked on taking balls off the block, but Southwest Valley, triple blocking is just hard to get the ball through.”

Maynes led the Timberwolves with five solo blocks and one block assist. Marissa Drake and Jade Petersen each finished with one block assist.

Game two of the match unfolded much like game one — a back-and-forth contest until Mount Ayr closed the margin to a 17-

14 Southwest Valley lead.

The Timberwolves then won eight of the next 11 points to close out the game, including a kill by Marie Palmer and an ace

by Sierra Sleep.

Mount Ayr took an 11-10 lead in game three on a Daughton kill from the back row, and stretched it to 1411, before another Maynes b l o c k s p a r k e d Daughton a Southwest Valley run that gave the Timberwolves a 15-14 lead.

MURRAY — The Murray Lady Mustangs, with a first-ever state tournament berth in their sights, efficiently moved one step closer with a 25-8, 25-10, 25-16 sweep of Southeast Warren in a Class 1A Region 3 quarterfinal match here Tuesday.

Southeast Warren ended its season at 5-19, with a second loss to Murray. The first was a 2-0 sweep at the Wayne of Corydon tournament.

Murray, meanwhile, is sailing along at 26-3, despite dropping out of the state ratings last week after losing to No. 15 Martensdale-St. Marys.

Hannah Barber had 14

ST. LOUIS — Michael Wacha had a funny way of preparing for his World Series start that’s supposed to save the season for the St. Louis Cardinals.

FORT DODGE — The stiff wind matched the stiff competition here Saturday as the Southwestern Community College Spartan men finished fourth at the Region XI meet.

Iowa fur harvesters will find good numbers of raccoons, coyotes, bobcats, river otters, mink, and, with all likelihood, other trappers in the countryside when the furbearer trapping and hunting season opens on Nov. 2.

“Population-wise, all species are doing quite well except for muskrats and gray fox,” said Vince Evelsizer, furbearer biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. “Trappers who typically pursue muskrats could do well this year if they switch to coyotes and raccoons, and to some extent mink or red fox.”

Muskrats are a breadand-butter species for Iowa trappers, but the population took a significant hit last year after the drought left many Iowa wetlands dry heading in to winter. This year, wetlands are in better shape but the muskrats are not there.

“It will take a few years for the population to come

back,” Evelsizer said.

What has come back and in a big way is the number of fur harvesters.

The number of fur harvesters varies with the fur market and as the fur market outlook continues to be very good, more fur harvesters will participate.

“We’ve gained about 2,000 trappers per year each of the past three years,” said Evelsizer and expects the increase in trappers to continue, surpassing 19,000 last year.

“There will definitely be more competition out there,” he said.

8th grade Creston eighth-graders concluded their season by going 1-2 in Team One activity and 2-7 overall against Nodaway Valley at home.

Team One served 92 percent including four aces by Jaiden Stephens with three kills by Breanna Wallace.

Team Two went 1-1 with 70 percent serving as Sophia Groumoutis had five aces.

AMES — While the injuries continue to pile up for the Iowa State football team, some of the walking wounded could be making their way back.

Quarterback Sam Richardson, who missed two-plus quarters with a head and neck injury against No. 18 Oklahoma State, is penciled in as the starter against Kansas State (2:30 p.m., FS1) on Saturday. Meanwhile, running back Aaron Wimberly (hamstring) and linebacker Luke Knott (hip) are dayto-day. Their status is uncertain, but a return isn’t out of the question at this point.

It may not be the best news for coach Paul Rhoads, but it beats the alternative of lengthy time absences, even if it sounds as if most in the program would rather deal CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER with any other topic.

Mount Ayr junior Shelbie Greene (8) and freshman teammate Macy Larsen (5) barely “When injuries crop up avoid a collision as they both scramble to keep a play alive during the Raiderettes’ 3-0 and you can’t play a guy loss to Southwest Valley Tuesday in a Class 2A regional semifinal.

and everything gets thrown out of whack, there is a high level of frustration,” Rhoads said.

Injuries are one reason for why ISU’s season hasn’t gone as planned. The Cyclones (1-6, 0-4 Big 12) admit it, but that’s where it stops.

“You can say that you are snake bitten, but you can’t use it as an excuse,” running back Jeff Woody said.

“You can’t use it as a crutch.

You’ve got to have guys that are able to step in and execute at a high level, too.”

If any Cyclone would classify as snake bitten, it’s Richardson. Since spraining his ankle in the season opener, he’s been dealing with an assortment of injuries. His latest came when he was trying to slide and was hit in the upper back from behind by Oklahoma State defensive end Tyler Johnson in the second quarter. He never returned to the game, but did practice on Sunday.

The depth chart may list him as a co-starter with Grant Rohach, but Rhoads said Richardson will start if he can go. “(The) plan would be to go through the week and make sure he is 100 percent off this recent injury and can operate the offense,” Rhoads said.

If Richardson starts, he’ll be asked to get more consistent production from the offense. ISU scored 21 secondquarter points on Saturday, but the offense stalled out the rest of the game. Over the last three contests, the Cyclones have had 31 drives that failed to produce a first down.

“We’ve shown we have the ability to execute, and we’ve shown that we’ll go three-and-out,” offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham said, “and we need to get more as a

IOWA CITY — Wisconsin and Iowa renew their rivalry this week after rotating off one another’s schedules for the last two years.

The series is tied 42-42-2 and the schools have played in 72 of the last 76 seasons. Iowa and Wisconsin became one of the Big Ten’s 22 protected rivalries from 1995 through 2010 until Nebraska joined the league and divisions were installed. The schools play for the Heartland Trophy.

Next year the schools will move into the West Division together after playing in opposite divisions the last three seasons.

“The good news is moving forward we’ll be playing each year — which is what it should be — because we have a trophy involved,” said Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz, who has coached against the Badgers in 22 of his 24 seasons with the

Knott is in a similar position. He’s played through the hip injury all season, racking up 45 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. An extended period of rest may be the only way it will heal, Rhoads said.

“It’s 42-42-2 over the years,” Andersen said.

“Whether you’ve played in that game or you haven’t played in that game, if that doesn’t gain you any respect then nothing really will.

“Our players that have been there, they’ve seen it firsthand. They understand the terrific crowd, the hectic environment. It’s a tough place to play.

ISU will be without wide receiver Jarvis West, who suffered an MCL sprain against Oklahoma State. He is the fourth player to succumb to the injury this season.

“We have an MCL fairy that is looking down on us and striking us down,” Woody said.

Defensive end Willie Scott will play this week, Rhoads said. Scott started the first six games, but didn’t play against Kansas State for a failure to live up to team expectations.

Wisconsin won 31-30 in the last meeting in 2010 at Kinnick Stadium. A total of 22 NFL draft picks, including five first-rounders, competed in that game. That number is likely to grow next spring with players like Wisconsin’s Jared Abbrederis, James White, Jacob Pedersen, Pat Muldoon and Beau Allen and Iowa’s James Morris, Christian Kirksey, Anthony Hitchens, Brett Van Sloten, C.J.

Injury update Iowa senior defensive end Dominic Alvis will miss his second consecutive game with a back injury. Alvis was hurt against Michigan State and did not return. He left in the first quarter at Ohio State two weeks ago and did not play

against Northwestern.

Junior defensive end Mike Hardy posted his first career start on Saturday and he’ll replace Alvis this week. Hardy, a Wisconsin native, said his preparation hasn’t changed with his elevation. “(As a backup) you have to watch just as much film and study the guy just as much because it’s not like a lot of other positions where the starters play the entire game,” Hardy said. “In the defensive line, we had a rotation. I would get 20-30 snaps a game.”

Creston News Advertiser Wednesday, October 30, 2013

GOP says Obama broke promise to let people keep health plans requires each plan to cover at least 60 percent of medical costs and limits annual out-ofpocket costs such as co-payments and deductibles.

The new consumer protections also limit the amount that older plan members may be charged; prohibits annual benefit-spending limits; and forbids insurers from varying rates based on gender, occupation or medical claims history.

It’s the 5 percent of Americans who purchase coverage in the individual market that will be affected by the changes, Carney noted.

“That’s the universe we’re talking about, 5 percent of the population,” he said, accusing news reports of overstating the effect. “In some of the coverage of this issue in the last several days, you would think that you were talking about 75 percent or 80 percent or 60 percent of the American population.”

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a former health care adviser to Obama, said that many of the plans being eliminated were “psuedo plans” or “mini medical plans” that provide spotty coverage that often excludes basic services like child delivery — which Emanuel called “unethical.”

“We should not bemoan the fact that these very poor plans that don’t really provide coverage are being eliminated from the health care marketplace,” Emanuel said in an interview with MSNBC. In testimony before the Ways and Means Committee, Marilyn Tavenner, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said half the people with individual coverage “churned,” or dropped, their policies in 2010. The individual insurance market is known for high coverage denial rates, along with high customer turnover and dissatisfaction.

For people getting notices that their policies will no longer be available in 2014, Julie Bataille, communications director for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said administration officials are confident those folks will be able to enroll in coverage by Dec. 15 if they want coverage in January.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida CEO Pat-

rick Geraghty told NBC that reports that the company was dropping 300,000 people from coverage were false.

“We’re not cutting people,” Geraghty said. “We’re actually transitioning people. What we’ve been doing is informing folks that their plan doesn’t meet the test of the essential health benefits; therefore, they have a choice of many options that we make available through the exchange. And, in fact, with subsidy, many people will be getting better plans at a lesser cost.”

WASHINGTON (MCT) — Congressional Republicans broadened their attacks on the Affordable Care Act on Tuesday, saying President Barack Obama misled Americans for years by claiming they could keep the health coverage they had once the new health law kicked in.

In remarks to the American Medical Association in 2009, Obama said: “No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.”

But at Tuesday’s House Ways and Means Committee hearing about the troubled Healthcare.gov website, many House Republicans complained that Obama’s promise wasn’t true. They said their constituents would have to pay more for individual and small group coverage next year because of the health law changes.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans have begun getting cancellation notices from their health insurance companies for 2014 because their policies don’t meet the health care law’s tough new standards.

Other Republicans cast the situation as yet another failed promise from Obama about the contentious health care law.

“Now we learn that it’s only if the White House likes your insurance you can keep your insurance. And if the White House doesn’t like your insurance, you can no longer keep your insurance,” said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo. White House press secretary Jay Carney tried to quell the growing controversy, saying that the 80 percent of Americans with job-based coverage or government coverage through Medicare, Medicaid or the Veterans Administration would not be affected by the changes.

The health law engineers a complete makeover of the individual and small group insurance markets in 2014. The law guarantees access to coverage regardless of current or past health problems. It also

Judge refuses Iowa’s request to dismiss Hedlund petition DES MOINES (MCT) — A district judge has refused the state’s request to dismiss a lawsuit brought by a former DCI agent alleging the Branstad administration improperly shared a confidential personnel file with an independent investigator reviewing agent’s firing and claims of retaliation.

Larry Hedlund, a former special agent with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, has challenged the state’s decision to share a lengthy report related to his firing with former Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Louis Lavorato – who Gov. Terry Branstad appointed to review disciplinary action taken against Hedlund.

Lavorato concluded last August that the governor’s office was not involved in decisions to place Hedlund on leave in May and to eventually terminate his employment.

Hedlund was a central figure in a high-profile incident last April where a state trooper driving an SUV carrying Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds was clocked driving 84 mph in a 65-mph zone.

The incident became public because Hedlund, who initially spotted the speeding SUV, complained it wasn’t ticketed.

He was later fired, although state officials say it was not linked to his complaint.

In his petition, Hedlund asserts the Iowa Department of

Public Safety violated state law by disclosing an investigative report compiled by the agency regarding his employment. The contents of the report allegedly led to his termination, according to court records. Hedlund claims the investigative report is confidential and DPS officials violated the statute when Branstad disclosed the report to Lavorato.

State attorneys argued that disclosing the report to Lavorato did not violate state law because there was no disclosure to the public since Lavorato was an agent of the state at the time he received the report under a non-disclosure agreement.

Polk County District Judge Larry McLellan ruled Monday the court must ignore the non-disclosure agreement since it is not part of Hedlund’s petition. “Accordingly, the court denies the DPS’s motion to dismiss,” McLellan wrote, adding that the issues raised by the state would better be considered in a motion for summary judgment or a trial in denying the motion to dismiss Hedlund’s petition seeking a $2,500 fine against the department’s records custodian and other remedies.

With help from the Wilton entertaining experts, you’ll have all the tricks to treat your guests to a spooky celebration that will leave them howling with delight. Halloween’s not just for the kids anymore, so before you put on your costume, grab your baking and decorating supplies and get ready to let the creepy crawlers loose.

“Halloween is the one time of the year that you can take your decorating skills to the dark side,” said Nancy Siler, vice president of consumer affairs at Wilton. “From finishing pumpkin cookies with ghastly grins to creating creepy cakes decorated like graveyard skulls, it’s the perfect holiday to have some fun in the kitchen.”

Try these tips from the Wilton test kitchen for tasty and terrifying treats: ■

Creepy Cupcakes: Transform traditional cupcakes into other worldly creations by decorating with eyeballs, spider webs or candy corn. Set up a decorating table during your Halloween party and let kids make their own creepy creations.

■

Trick the Treat: Swap out the standard packaged treats for homemade sweets. Wrap cookies, pumpkin cake pops and lollipops in decorative party bags for a fearfully fun take-home treat.

■

Mummy Wrap: Dress up your Halloween treats with themed baking cups. Pumpkins, mummies and ghosts are an instant way to give your party extra personality.

■

Stack the Skulls: Turn the crouqueen-bouche, a popular French dessert, on its head by replacing cream puffs with mini-skeleton skulls. To increase the scare factor, mix in bone-shaped cookies and antique the treats with Candy Melts candy and Color Mist food color spray.

Here is my variation on this recipe.

I divided the recipe in half since it is just the two of us. I did not have a butternut squash so I replaced the squash with carrots and sweet potato. I used one cup of sweet potato, cut in 3/4 inch pieces and 1/4 cup diced carrots. I also used one cup frozen green beans, broken into 2 inch pieces and 1/3 cup of frozen peas and just placed those on the top (did not mix in) and cooked them on high for the last 20 minutes. I used an arm roast instead of a beef chuck roast and used about 3/4 of a pound. We prepared all the ingredients the night before so when I got up at 2 a.m. all was ready to put in the crock pot so we could have it for our Sunday noon meal.

I would like to inform all of your readers to buy ALL PEANUT-FREE TREATS to offer at Halloween or at any party given in your home, church function or other gathering for adults and children. There is no shortage of peanut-free food products, and it is the only way to be 100 percent sure that you do not cause a death.

Remember when you were a kid? Children returned home from trick-or-treating and it was common to “trade” treats with siblings or neighbor children.

BUSINESS

Government restart does little for business long-term planning WASHINGTON (MCT) — The “government shutdown” -- actually, threequarters or more of the federal government was still operating during what has become an annoyingly regular bipartisan tempertantrum over spending on Capitol Hill -- brought out numerous condemnations from business organizations.

That should come as no surprise, since these groups are the experts. They’re engaged in day-to-day commerce and know all about budget limits in the real world, as opposed to the fiduciary playland Congress and the president occupy.

But one comment that seemed to capture the business world’s reaction of the executive and legislative branches’ all-too-regular wrangling over how to spend more than the government takes in came from the National Retail Federation.

The trade group, which represents retailers nationwide, put into words what,

perhaps, most businesses and consumers think of this tired routine of who-blinksfirst gamesmanship. After all, this was not the first time Congress and President Barack Obama stood toe-totoe over spending.

“While there is some satisfaction at achieving a deal, today’s agreement between the House and Senate merely ensures more opportunities to continue the debate while avoiding tough decisions about our economic future,” said Matthew Shay, president and chief executive officer of the retail group.

Shay correctly pointed out that the showdown’s timing -- just before the annual Thanksgiving-Christmas holiday shopping season -was perhaps its worst aspect.

Politicians, he said, are, after all, supposed to lead by example.

Maybe he hasn’t paid much attention, because there hasn’t been much of that coming from Washington in recent years.

Board Member for First National Bank in Creston elected chairman of ABA behalf of our industry. Like those before me, I vow to do my best to move this industry forward so we can continue our critical work in our communities.”

Having served as chairman of Iowa Bankers Association from 2003-04, Plagge has experience representing the banking industry.

In addition to his Northwest Financial and ABA responsibilities, Plagge serves on the Delta Dental of Iowa Board of Directors, Wartburg College President’s Advisory Council and is a member of Iowa Agriculture Secretary Northey’s Strategic Advisory Board. He is also a former board member of Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and served on their Community Depository Institution Advisory Council.

Plagge is an Iowa State University graduate where he earned a degree in agricultural business with a minor in advertising and public relations.

American Bankers Association represents banks of all sizes and charters and is the voice for the nation’s $14 trillion banking industry and its two million employees.

being taken over by bureaucrats.

“Our economic recovery is retail-led and consumerdriven, and political leaders on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue need to stop undermining consumer confidence with partisan posturing,” Shay said in his statement.

“When consumers cut back their spending, it threatens jobs in every industry. If it’s bad for retail, it’s bad for the economy, and ultimately the biggest losers are American taxpayers.”

So the government is operating again, as those in

charge of handling the nation’s revenues have chosen to put off serious debate on the debt ceiling, yet again, for another few months.

All that did was buy a little time. The larger economic issues are not going to go away, and the uncertainties that lie ahead will not be good for businesses who rely on government’s ability to establish long-term policy in order to set their own plans for hiring, expansions and investments.

“Today’s decision will provide some breathing room for legislators to negotiate

and compromise, but it is not a solution to our long-term economic or fiscal challenges,” Shay said.

He was referring to his own industry’s concerns, but he could have been speaking for everybody.

WASHINGTON — Jeff Plagge has been elected chairman of the American Bankers Association for the 2 0 1 3 - 1 4 Plagge association year.

Plagge is the president and CEO of Northwest Financial Corp. in Arnolds Park and a board member for First National Bank in Creston.

With 23 consecutive years of ABA service, Plagge brings a breadth of knowledge with him to his role as chairman. He currently serves on the ABA Board of Directors and the ABA Mutual Insurance Board. He has previously served as chairman of the ABA Payments System Task Force, Government Relations Council, Agriculture Committee, and BankPac Committee.

“As the new ABA chairman, I have been given a great opportunity and a big responsibility,” Plagge said.

“As we head into the holiday shopping season, retailers and consumers need stability and certainty from policymakers in Washington and assurance that the economy will not implode due to their actions or, more important, lack thereof. This new norm of legislating from crisis to crisis is no way to govern,” Shay said.

No kidding.

We have entered a period that is as dangerous for business as any since the Wall Street meltdown of 2008.

Home prices in large cities soar in August, Case-Shiller index shows NEW YORK (MCT) — Home prices in the nation’s largest metro regions jumped sharply in August, posting yearly gains not seen since the last boom, according to a leading gauge.

The S&P/Case-Shiller index released Tuesday showed that home prices in 20 large U.S. metro areas rose 1.3 percent from July and 12.8 percent from August 2012, beating the expectations of analysts who predicted weaker price gains.

Prices haven’t risen this fast year-over-year since February 2006.

Still, there are signs of a cooling. The rate of monthly increases in the 20 large cities peaked in April.

“Since then, home prices continued to rise, but at a slower pace each month.

This month 16 cities reported smaller gains in August compared to July. Recent increases in mortgage rates and fewer mortgage applications are two factors in these shifts,” David M. Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices, said in a statement.

The housing recovery kicked into overdrive earlier this year as families and investors jumped into the market, finally convinced the bottom had passed. Prices shot up rapidly as people battled over a shortage of homes for sale, raising concerns that a bubble was forming in some red-hot markets.

But lately the market has cooled as investors have pulled back and as listings have increased in many areas, helped by some owners looking to cash in on those soaring values. Some buyers, meanwhile, have stepped aside, frustrated over the higher cost of houses and bidding wars. Mortgage rates, while having declined recently, are up sharply since May. The Case-Shiller index, created by economists Karl E. Case and Robert J. Shiller, is widely considered the most reliable read on home values.

The housing index compares the latest sales of detached houses with previous sales and accounts for factors such as remodeling that might affect a house’s sale price over time.
