With each stroke of his brush, Ray “Bubba” Sorensen brought to life scenes from five different eras of war in honor of all veterans who have served their country as the next installment of his Freedom Rock Tour.

Sorensen unveiled the Union County Freedom Rock — his 25th completed project — from the protection of a red tent Monday, well ahead of the projected completion date in 2015.

“With Creston and Le Claire ... they were surprised I could squeeze them in,” Sorensen said.

“I was looking at what the weather was looking like and I said as long as Mother Nature doesn’t throw us any huge curveballs and

DES MOINES (AP) — State Sen.

We did it!” a grinning Ernst, an Iraq War veteran and lieutenant colonel in the Iowa National Guard, told supporters at a West Des Moines hotel ballroom.

“It’s a long way from Red Oak to Washington,” she said. “Thanks to you Iowa, we are headed to Washington, and we are going to make them squeal.”

That was a reference to the ads that vaulted her to the front of the primary pack last spring, where she announced she grew up Please see ERNST, Page 2

Terry Branstad wins Iowa governor’s race DES MOINES (AP) — Incumbent Republican Gov. Terry Branstad coasted to victory over Democrat Jack Hatch on Tuesday night.

Branstad, who won a sixth non-consecutive term, ran a campaign that focused on his recent legislative achievements, including a substantial commercial property tax cut and new education spending.

He raised millions for his re-elec-

tion bid and welcomed big-name supporters like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to the campaign trail.

“We’re really proud of having Branstad led Iowa’s comeback and we want to lead Iowa to

a prosperous and growing future,” said Branstad, 67, on Tuesday night.

“I want Iowa to be the envy of the nation.”

tad as out of touch with working Iowans. But he struggled with fundraising and had difficulty boosting his profile statewide. As he went to the polls Tuesday, he said he was proud of the campaign he ran.

“We’ve talked about the future and the governor has been talking about the past and I think that’s a big difference between us,” Hatch said.

Hatch suffered from a lack of re-

sources, compared to the well-funded Branstad. He said he always knew he would be outspent.

“We raised 2 million dollars. That doesn’t go very far in today’s market,” Hatch said.

Branstad now must get ready for the next legislative session and an inauguration. But first, he’s taking his wife on a trip to Italy later this week.

The auditor’s office will also be collecting all the

Young beats Appel for 3rd district seat DES MOINES (AP) — David Young, a longtime aide to U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, has been elected in Iowa’s 3rd district.

Voters on Tuesday elected Young, a Republican, over Democrat Staci Appel, a former state legislator.

Young took an unusual path to his House victory.

He first was a candidate for U.S. Senate but switched to the 3rd district race when incumbent Republican Rep. Tom Latham

announced he’d retire.

Young finished fifth in the primary, but won the nomination at a special convention.

In the campaign, Young fended off arguments by Appel that after working for two decades in Washington, he was more beholden to lobbyists and big donors than to Iowans.

Young responded that his Washington experience meant he could be effective on his first day in the Capitol.

FREEDOM ROCK: Continued from Page 1

Sorensen said being close to home with two

small children and a wife he has been away from for most of the summer extended his typical time frame of completing a rock.

But being born in Creston and living in Greenfield added some importance to make the Union County Freedom Rock look special.

He was rarely alone while painting. Intrigued veterans and visitors consistently peaked into the tent to watch Sorensen work and get a preview of the design.

“It is very typical for people to stop in and visit, that does not change across the state,” Sorensen said.

Trinity Lutheran Church donated five, 20-foot flag poles for all five military flags to be installed at the site.

A dedication ceremony is planned for 10:30 a.m.

Nov. 11 at the rock. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be moved to Creston High School gymnasium.

“Anybody that goes by there that is interested in any type of history or veterans, I feel, will stop and look,” Abel said. “While they are there, there is the visitor center during the summer that they can go in and check out.”

To see the other completed projects on Sorensen’s Freedom Rock Tour, visit www.thefreedomrock.com.

“I’m not a fan of lawyers, or of Braley’s attitude,” Litten said.

Ernst had been criticized

by Braley and women’s groups for her support of a constitutional amendment that would bestow the rights of personhood on a fetus.

But she enjoyed the quiet support of Gov. Terry Branstad during the primary, and the enthusiastic support of the re-elected 6-term governor during

the general election.

The race helped determine control of the Senate, where Republicans had needed to gain six seats to become the majority party.

It was by far the most expensive campaign in Iowa history.

Both Braley and Ernst raised more than $10 million, and outside groups have spent additional millions on television advertising.

A dedication ceremony is planned for 10:30 a.m. Nov. 11 at the Union County Freedom Rock. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be moved to Creston High School gymnasium.

■

you guys can put up a tent with some heat, I didn’t see why we couldn’t squeeze them in.”

Denny Abel, quartermaster for the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1797, said the site was ready for Sorensen to start painting the rock early and the commission worked with him to design the rock.

The commission included Bob Jungst, Eric Shawler, Lisa Downing, Charlie Jackson and Terry Loomis.

The design The Union County Freedom Rock ties together imagery from World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the War on Terror.

“I don’t want it to look like clip art just threw up on it,” Sorensen said.

“That is the struggle, taking such different eras and such different looking things and trying to make them as one.”

Sorensen uses similar elements like the color of the sky or the smoke from the train at the Creston Depot flowing into the smoke from the Pearl Harbor scene to create a collage.

“The front (south side) was put together by the VFW,” Abel said. “It depicts an eagle holding a flag and the MIA/POW patch.

At the bottom it says ‘Freedom is not free.’”

Sorensen said while most

of the rocks on the tour have similar themes, he tries to add local history and flare to the design.

“Most of them have something that either ties to the county, the towns in the county or a specific veteran in that county,” Sorensen said.

The north side of the rock features the Rainbow Division boarding a train at the Creston Depot during World War I. Abel said they did all of their training in Creston before leaving for the war.

The scene is bordered by red poppies, another symbol from the WWI era.

“The French in World War I buried the dead in poppy fields, so the red poppies stand for the blood that was shed in World War I,” Abel said.

The paint Sorensen uses is a silicate, which he described as “liquid rock.”

“They use this paint in tropical and arctic conditions,” Sorensen said. “We get some cold weather and some hot weather in Iowa, but it is usually not arctic and tropical.”

While the rock may physically weather and

have small parts chip away, the paint is unaffected by UV light and weather, so minimal maintenance will be required for the rock.

“This has been a challenging rock,” Sorensen said. “It is coarse, but that is part of its character, too.”

The rock — donated by the family of Dr. Robert Kuhl — is 8-feet long by 8-feet tall by 5-feet wide.

Sorensen said it was getting late in the year to paint the Union County Freedom Rock, but the red tent and heaters helped keep the temperature above 50 degrees so the paint could cure properly. It also provided a wind block to make working conditions more favorable.

“The tour was technically over two rocks ago, so it is getting the the point where I need to be home,” Sorensen said. “You know at the end of the (half marathon) race when you have run 12 miles and you know you just have to focus a little more, I am to that point.”

castrating hogs and would cut pork in Washington.

The Senate seat was open due to the retirement of five-term Democrat Tom Harkin.

Ernst, Harkin’s stylistic and ideological opposite, ran a disciplined campaign — winning a five-way primary, touting her military service, legislative experience and small-town upbringing.

In the race against Braley, she attached the former lawyer to votes he had taken in line with President Barack Obama, a Democrat who carried the state two years ago but whose popularity has plummeted.

“I would have voted against Obama if I could have,” said Sue Smith of Des Moines.

She said Congress needed to change to break the gridlock of the Republican-controlled House and Democratic-controlled Senate.

Braley, 57, is a four-term U.S. House member who had focused more on presenting issue differences and billed himself as a con-

sumer advocate who can build bipartisan relationships.

Both candidates had shown vulnerability as first-time candidates for statewide office, though Braley’s seemed to leave a more lasting impression in voters’ minds.

In January, Braley was caught on a hidden video camera trying to tout his credentials as a lawyer while appearing before a fundraiser with other lawyers in Texas when he uttered the campaign’s most memorable line: “You might have a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school,” as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he said, referring to Republicans Sen. Chuck Grassley.

Grassley, in his sixth term, is a non-lawyer and positioned to become committee chairman as Republicans have taken control.

Des Moines business owner Trent Litten, 49, said he voted for Ernst because he thought Braley came off as arrogant.

FISHTRAP HOLLOW, Miss.

— From the barn come the boards that serve as underpinning for my old house. They are brought to its high side and screwed into the battened cedar for the season. Warnings here are for a freeze.

Firewood for the night is at the ready, fueling the first stove fire of the season. At the kitchen table, I read two newspapers. I collected the papers along the long way home, bisecting the state, from the Mississippi Coast to these Hills.

No newspaper makes deliveries way out here anymore.

A sweet potato in the stove.

An extra scoop of dry food for the dogs. I concentrate on all the things humans fret about naturally, essentially. As cold weather approaches, we crave warmth, shelter, food, safety. Want our backs to the wind, dogs at our feet. Music

OPINION Freedom from want King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

in our ear, biscuits in the oven.

I soon wonder why I bothered with the newspapers. They depress me. All the news is about the midterm election -- the millions spent, the challenges filed, the shenanigans pulled.

If you are keeping score, Mississippi might now lead even Louisiana in the never-ending contest for most unsavory but entertaining political races. Once you trespass in a nursing home to steal fodder and a photograph for a political advertisement, you can lay claim to a royal flush of devilment.

Makes Richard Nixon’s merry

band of dirty tricksters look like Cub Scouts on a camping trip.

I grew up in Alabama believing all other states must have a saner political climate than the one created by our bantamweight fighter, George Wallace. I was wrong. Recent political stunts make Wallace look like a piker. From the bridges of New Jersey, to the shores of Miami Beach.

Wallace, at least, finished out his checkered career without getting rich. That doesn’t happen much anymore. Was he too busy demagoguing to steal?

I think about my own everyday concerns and those of my friends and neighbors. FDR’s Freedom from Worries were not at the center of the recent political campaigns in Mississippi. Give or take a token effort or two, there basically were no campaigns after the

raunchy primaries.

Nobody talked about expanding Medicaid. Nobody talked much about disappearing jobs or inadequate wages, or, if they did, offered few details for a cure. Nobody talked about roads, bridges, the environment. There were no debates.

And the voters didn’t demand answers.

The incumbent U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran of the Republican persuasion hid. After a disgusting Republican primary, you almost couldn’t blame him.

His Democratic challenger Travis Childers was a warm body, a sacrificial lamb treading water in case Mississippi ever becomes a two-party state again. Voters yawned.

If the state’s successful football programs had not kept us rela-

tively content, citizens might have been tempted to move. Where would we go? To the right and left of us, same story. Alabama’s politicians of both stripes are marching off to federal prisons, and Louisiana is Louisiana.

Texas? We don’t want to go there.

We get what we pay for, or at least what special interests pay for.

And while we fiddle around with domestic concerns, Rome -- and Mississippi -- burn. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ...

The World Health Organization had great news regarding the Ebola crisis HOLLYWOOD—Happy Wednesday, everybody, and God bless America.

Daylight Savings Time took effect Sunday and became a partisan voter issue. The media fed the furor. MSNBC said the time change robbed Democrats of sixty minutes they need to get out last-minute voters while Fox News said President Obama has set this country back one hour.

Election Day arrived on Tuesday with the Democrats and Republicans using all the tricks to sway voters. A state assembly candidate in Los Angeles knocked on doors all night long and no one answered. Who doesn’t want to let strangers into their house during an Ebola epidemic?

Santa Anita Racetrack in Los Angeles enacted strict sanitation rules in the horses’ stables Friday to guard against Ebola. An outbreak is highly unlikely. If Ebola could be contracted through the passing of horse excrement, the floor of the Senate would be covered in dead bodies.

One World Trade Center opened for its first day of business Monday, thirteen years after al-Qaeda flew two airliners into the Twin Towers. It was preventable. The airline ticket sellers should have been tipped off when the terrorists asked if there’s anything cheaper than one-way.

The New York City Marathon was run before a million fans on Sunday. One spectator fell three stories out of his apartment window and landed safely on lawn bags. Five minutes later, a Kenyan fell out of the same window

and beat his time to the ground by two-fifths of a second.

South Africa prosecutors asked to re-try Olympic star Oscar Pistorious Tuesday. He woke up and shot his fiancee four times through his bathroom door, claiming she was a burglar, and he only got five years. The irony is last night Oscar woke up and a burglar was using his toilet.

The USO reported that Charlie Sheen’s million-dollar donation was the largest donation ever to the military morale-boosting organization. That’s real patriotism. It makes you wish we had a hundred more just like Charlie in Washington D.C., unfortunately we have ten thousand.

The Affair is a hit on Showtime about a successful New York man who cheats on his wife during a vacation on Long Island. It’s a very old lesson. The difference between cheating on your wife and cheating on your taxes is, if you confess and tell the truth, the IRS still wants to screw you.

The World Health Organization had great news regarding the Ebola crisis last week when it declared Nigeria officially free of the Ebola virus. They called it a spectacular success story. They added if you e-mail your bank details to Nigeria now, you can be part of this success story.

Did You Know?...your local animal pound does all this and more?

The Creston City Pound is a holding facility for stray/abandoned animals within Creston city limits. Animals are held for 7 days to give owners time to claim their pets. After this time they become available for adoption. Here is where a dedicated group of volunteers come in.

Creston Animal Rescue Effort (C.A.R.E.) helps to get these pets adopted. We publish their photos in the local paper, hand out flyers around the community, update our websites, host fundraisers and supply the pets with treats, vet care and love.

Donations Appreciated

C.A.R.E. accepts new and used pet related items, postage stamps, pet foods & cat litter, gift certificates, money, dish soap, bleach, collars, leashes, toys and treats. Donation jars are located at Creston Vet Clinic, Southern Hills Vet Clinic, Great Western Bank, Casey’s Sumner and Casey’s North.

Dog Gone Rescue is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit No-Kill animal shelter serving animals in need in Union and surrounding counties.

We are dedicated to helping reduce the number of unwanted, neglected & abandoned animals in our area by finding them loving permanent homes. We will provide these animals with shelter, food & medical services as needed until they are adopted. We will strive to educate people on the humane & proper care of animals, as well as the importance of getting their pet spayed or neutered to help control the pet population.

Items we need are: cash donations to help pay for vet expenses; donations of food, kennels, pet bedding, bowls, cat litter, cat boxes, toys, leashes, collars are always needed and appreciated. Anything we can use to meet the needs of the animals in our care, no matter how small, every lit bit helps!

Mix dry ingredients with liquid ingredients until moist. Stir in chopped apples. Spoon batter into 18 paper lined muffin cups.

QUICK BREAD WINNER GLAZED LEMON POPPYSEED ZUCCHINI BREAD Jean Lindell | Lenox

APPLE AND CRANBERRY TURKEY ROULADE Serves 8 people

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, pudding mix, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, lemon juice, lemon extract and lemon zest. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold in the zucchini and the poppyseeds. Pour the batter evenly into the greased loaf pans. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans to cool completely. When cool, make the glaze. In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Pour evenly over the two loaves.

Let the glaze set up, about 10 minutes.

YEAST BREAD WINNER HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD Holly Houg | West Des Moines 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, divided 3 1/2 cups good-quality unbleached white flour, divided 2 cups hot water (130 degrees) 3 Tbsp. honey (preferably raw) 1/3 cup coconut oil 1 egg 2 tsp. lemon juice 2 tsp. salt 5 tsp. quick-rise yeast Put 1 3/4 cups of whole wheat flour and 1 3/4 cups of white flour in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the water, honey, oil, egg, juice, salt and yeast. Mix on low until well-blended. Slowly add about 2 more cups of flour to make a dough that will pull away from the sides and clean the sides of the bowl. If necessary, add another 1/2 cup flour. One dough is stiff enough, switch to the dough hook on the mixer. Using the dough hook, turn up the mixer to medium to knead the dough for 4 minutes. Take out of the bowl, put onto a piece of parchment paper greased with coconut oil. Flip the dough over so that both sides are greased. Divide into two loaves. Spread each loaf into a rectangle with fingers. Start rolling from short side and tuck in ends and seal the length and ends, laying sealed side in pan bottom. Cover with a tea towel. Place in a warm, draft-free setting to rise. Let rise until center of each loaf in 1 to 1 1/2 inches above the top of the pan (usually takes 35-45 minutes). Bake the loaves for 30-40 minutes in a preheated 350 degree CONVECTION oven until tops are browned and internal temperature reaches 190 degrees (If you do not have a convection setting on your oven, bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes or until tops are browned and internal temperature reaches 190 degrees). Turn out on cooling rack and brush the tops with coconut oil or butter. Let cool on a cooling rack for about 45 minutes, then slice and enjoy!

APPLE BACON SALAD WITH BALSAMIC ONION VINAIGRETTE Serves 6-8

7A

For the Clouds: 3 large egg whites, room temperature 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar 3/4 cup sugar

For the Basil Scented Strawberry-Rhubarb Compote: 1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries, rinsed, hulled and quartered + 1/2 cup of strawberries, rinsed, hulled and chopped reserved 1 1/2 cups chopped rhubarb 2 Tbsp. of honey 1 Tbsp. of water 3-4 whole basil leaves For the Whipped Cream: 1/2 cup of heavy cream 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar Preheat oven to 275°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Place egg whites, vanilla and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with a whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar (about 1 Tablespoon at a time) and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.

Using a spoon, drop eight dollops of meringue onto prepared baking sheet. Use the back of your spoon to create a well in each ‘cloud’. Clouds should be around 3-4 inches wide. You can alternately transfer meringue mixture to a piping bag and pipe the nests, making sure that the bottom is a solid circle so that the filling won’t leak out later.

Bake the clouds for 45-50 minutes or until they are totally set and dry. Leaving the oven door closed, turn off the oven and allow meringues to sit in the oven for an additional 1 hour.

In the meantime, place 1 1/2 cups rhubarb, 1 1/2 cups strawberries, water, basil and honey in a small sauce pan set over medium heat. Bring mixture to a gentle boil and reduce to a simmer. Allow mixture to cook, stirring occasionally, until fruit is soft and syrupy, about 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and discard basil leaves.

Stir in the reserved 1/2 cup of chopped strawberries and allow mixture to cool.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add sugar and beat until cream is thick and fluffy. Be careful not to over beat or you’ll end up with butter.

Top each meringue cloud with several spoonfuls of compote and whipped cream. Serve immediately.

If making the meringue nests head of time, store unfilled nests in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

The Strawberry-Rhubarb compote can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.

RHUBARB POUND CAKE

2 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided 1/2 cup butter, room temperature 3 large eggs 1 tsp. vanilla bean paste or 2 tsp. vanilla extract 1/3 cup sour cream 1/2 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease a loaf pan.

In a medium frying pan, mix the cut rhubarb with 1/4 cup sugar. Over medium-high heat, cook the rhubarb until it is fork tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes. The rhubarb needs to be able to hold its shape or it will get lost in the cake batter. Set aside to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and remaining sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well between additions. Mix in the vanilla bean paste, sour cream, and salt until uniform. Stir in the flour until just incorporated. Gently fold in the rhubarb pieces and any juice remaining in the pan.

Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and sprinkle the top with a tablespoon of sugar. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Serve warm or room temperature, with a cup of tea or spoonful of strawberry jam. Yields 1 loaf (or 3 mini loaves)

8 large eggs 1/4 cup drained and chopped jarred roasted red peppers 3 Tbsp. mayonnaise 1 tsp. Dijon mustard 1/4 tsp. paprika, plus more for sprinkling salt and pepper, to taste 3 chives, cut into 16 1 inch pieces

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Gently lower eggs into water, return to a boil and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook eggs 11 minutes, drain and place in a large bowl of ice water. Cool completely, at least 10 minutes.

Crack eggs and carefully peel under cool running water. Slice in half lengthwise, scoop out yolks and place them in a food processor with peppers, mayonnaise, mustard and paprika. Cover and refrigerate whites. Process yolk mixture until smooth; taste and season with salt and pepper.

Transfer yolk mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip or a large ziplock bag. If using a bag, squeeze out air, seal and snip off a corner. Pipe about 1 Tbsp. filling into center of each egg white, to resemble a pumpkin. With a paring knife, make three or four vertical scores to create the illusion of a pumpkin. Set a piece of chive diagonally into filling to resemble a stem. Sprinkle yolks with paprika. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to a day.

TRIPLE CHIP PUMPKIN BLONDIE PIE

1 - 9” chocolate oreo pie crust 3/4 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla 1 cup pumpkin 1 cup flour 2 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. ginger 1/4 tsp allspice 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 cup each butterscotch chips, semi sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips freshly whipped cream or whipped topping chocolate curls for garnish, optional

Bake for 45-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool and enjoy. This bread is really moist so you may want to refridgerate it.

NO-CHURN PUMPKIN ICE CREAM

1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk 3/4 cup pumpkin 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 2 cups cold heavy cream 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. ground ginger 1/8 tsp. nutmeg 1/8 tsp. cloves or 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice in place of the above spices

In a medium bowl, stir together condensed milk, pumpkin, vanilla and spices. In a large bowl of a standing mixer, beat cream on high until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Whisk one third of whipped cream into pumpkin mixture. Fold remaining whipped cream into pumpkin mixture until incorporated. Pour into a regular sized loaf pan, and freeze until firm, 6 hours, best if overnight.

PUMPKIN CARAMEL

1 cup of granulated sugar 1/2 tsp. of flaked sea salt 1/4 tsp. of ground cinnamon 1/8 tsp. of ground ginger 1/8 tsp. of ground cloves 6 Tbsp. of unsalted butter, at room temperature and cut into pieces 2/3 cups of heavy cream 2 Tbsp. of pumpkin puree

Heat the sugar in a large, heavy bottom sauce pan over medium high heat whisking constantly. As the sugar mixture heats up it will begin to form clumps. Continue whisking until the mixture turns a golden amber color. Be careful not to burn.

Remove the melted sugar from the heat. Then add the butter, spices and the salt. Stir until the butter is melted. Be careful on this step because this will foam up.

Return the mixture to the heat. Slowly, add the pumpkin puree and the heavy cream, using caution again as you mix. Whisk until combined and even in color (should be about one minute.)

Finally, remove it from the heat, and let the caramel cool. Store the cooled caramel in a jar with a tight lid in the refrigerator. Yield: 1 cup

Biscuits from heaven Dear Readers: With the holidays coming up, many will be going home for Thanksgiving. Who can resist homebaked goods and the smell of something yummy when you walk in the door that says “Welcome home”?

So many keep asking about the HELOISE ANGEL BISCUIT recipe that my mother, the original Heloise, printed more than four decades ago.

And yes, they are just as soft as little angels. So here is my family recipe just for you.

This dough can be made up to three days in advance and stored in the refrigerator in a covered bowl. Gather the following ingredients: 1 package dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water 2 1/2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 cup sugar 1/2 cup shortening 1 cup buttermilk Dissolve the yeast in warm water and set aside. Place all the dry ingredients (in the above order) in a bowl and mix. The shortening should be cut in, similar to when making pie crust. Stir in the buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Mix well and refrigerate in a covered bowl.

Take the dough out when ready to make biscuits. Knead

Hints from Heloise it LIGHTLY on a floured counter or board. Roll out the dough gently and cut into shape. I use a small juice glass to “cut” out just the right-size biscuit. Place the biscuits in a greased pan and allow to rise slightly. Bake in a 400 F oven for 12-15 minutes. Enjoy! — Heloise P.S.: Make a double batch, because they will just “float” away, they are so light.

Dear Heloise: I do a lot of baking and am alarmed at the amount of sugar required. I want to substitute honey. Can I substitute honey for sugar? — Gaylen C., Bella Vista, Ark. Yes, you can substitute honey for sugar! Here are a cou-

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

ple of hints: Use a one-to-one substitution (1 cup of honey in place of 1 cup of sugar). However, when a recipe calls for more than a cup, reduce the liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup per cup. Then lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees to prevent overbrowning. — Heloise HEALTHY RINSE Dear Heloise: I love coleslaw, but everything sold in my area is too rich and sugary. I purchase a package, put it in a strainer, then pour water over it and watch the excess mayonnaise and sugar go down the drain. My coleslaw now has a sensible calorie count, and to me it tastes better. — Marvin P., Torrington, Conn.

Marvin, you also could buy a package of pre-cut or shredded slaw and add your own BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker dressing. — Heloise LABEL LEFTOVERS Dear Heloise: It’s never nice to find out that leftovers have gone bad in your refrigerator. To alleviate this, label food containers with sticky notes, including the contents and date they went into the fridge.

Horoscope Thursday, Nov. 6, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today’s Full Moon pulls you between your own financial concerns and the concerns of others, especially your partner’s. This is something you have to weigh today.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today, the only Full Moon all year in your sign is occurring. You have to decide whose interests to put first: yours or someone else’s?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your desire to work alone might be at odds with what is expected of you at work. Try to find a balance, which is always tricky during a Full Moon.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your focus is on romantic relationships, children and fun-loving activities (including sports).

However, a female or someone in a group might want your attention. You choose.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You are caught between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career today. This is a classic Full Moon conundrum. This time, you can’t ignore your personal life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Today’s Full Moon is an accident-prone time for you.

Therefore, slow down and pay attention to everything you do.

Be mindful to avoid regrettable skirmishes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today’s Full Moon could put financial stress on you because you don’t know who to please.

You feel pulled in opposite directions. By Saturday, things will be fine.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place.

Naturally, this creates tension with others and gives you a short fuse. Your only recourse is patience.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Focus as best you can on matters at work, even though today is the Full Moon.

You might feel that others are blocking you. If so, this will be history by Saturday.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your plans to enjoy sports, playful times with children or romantic interludes will be interrupted by the demands of friends or members of a group.

Do what you can to keep everyone happy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Today you feel the classic tug-of-war of the demands of home and family, and the demands of your career and reputation. You cannot ignore your career. Not today.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Avoid controversial subjects and arguments with siblings, relatives and neighbors.

Today’s Full Moon will tempt you to get involved in conflicts.

Don’t do it.

YOU BORN TODAY You are energetic, stimulating and for-

ever optimistic. People find you entertaining and delightful! Your enthusiasm is genuine, and people feel they can trust you. Settle your debts this year, to prepare for financial accumulation in the next three years. To clear away indebtedness is the thrust of this year. Consolidate your affairs for future growth.

The Rebels remained ahead of four one-loss teams from power-five conferences, directly ahead of Baylor, Nebraska and Ohio State Nos. 12-14, and all higher than a week ago.

Auburn is the highest ranked of the 12 oneloss teams in the rankings that will ultimately determine the national semifinals, and set matchups for the other four marquee New Year’s Day bowls that are part of the playoff rotation.

Mississippi State held on to No. 1 after a 1710 victory over Arkansas, when the Bulldogs trailed after halftime for the first time this season.

Florida State overcame a 21-0 deficit at Louisville and won 42-31.

Plea agreement CONROE, Texas (AP) — Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson avoided jail Tuesday by reaching a deal with Texas prosecutors to resolve a child abuse case that revived a national debate about corporal punishment.

Peterson was sentenced to a form of probation after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor charge of reckless assault for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son. It was not immediately clear how the plea deal would affect his playing status or whether he might be subject to a new NFL policy that calls for a sixgame suspension without pay for a first domestic violence offense.

The All-Pro running back was indicted in September on a felony charge of injury to a child after the incident earlier this year in suburban Houston. He has been on paid leave under a special exemption from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Crew penalties CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Brad Keselowski and Jeff Gordon avoided any penalty from NASCAR on Tuesday for their postrace fight at Texas. Two crew chiefs and four crew members from Hendrick Motorsports were punished for their roles in the brawl.

Creston News Advertiser Wednesday, November 5, 2014

The new Southwestern men’s basketball team under coach Todd Lorensen appears to pack a lot of scoring firepower, opening with a 120-73 victory over visiting Graceland University JV Monday night.

J a y l o n Smith Smith, sophomore from Memphis, Tenn., led the Spartans with 22

points, including 13 when the Spartans were building a 62-37 halftime lead.

Smith made four of five shots from behind the arc and also chipped in seven rebounds. Josh Tolbert, freshman from Auburn, Ala., made three 3-pointers in finishing with 13 points.

“We got some quality looks early in the game to get some confidence, and made some good decisions in finishing on the breaks,” Lorensen said.

Simon Joseph, a 6-7 freshman from Des Moines, hauled in 14 rebounds.

Freshman guard Ahmad Newsome of Lansing, Mich., had a team-high five assists.

Lorensen said the Spartans started out strong, and defense set the tone at the beginning of the second half with five consecutive defensive stops.

Freshman TJ Bower of Nodaway V a l l e y Bower scored all nine of his points in the first half, shooting 4-of-6 from the field including a 3-pointer. He also had three assists.

“I was happy with our effort,” Lorensen said. “The guys were excited and I think that showed with the energy

they brought. I would have liked for us to take better care of the basketball and do a couple of little things better defensively, but it was a great start to our season.”

The Spartans are in action again 7 p.m. Thursday at home against Grand View University JV. One of Bower’s former Nodaway Valley teammates, Alex Welsch, plays on the Grand View varsity.

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

LAMONI — Graceland JV rode the momentum of a 40-22 first half to defeat the Southwestern women Monday night, 72-53.

It was the second game in three days for the Spartans, who dropped a two-point defeat at the buzzer in Saturday’s home opener.

Southwestern shot only 25 percent from the field (15of-59) including 2-of-13 from 3-point range.

“We did not shoot the ball well and got in a hole early,” coach Addae Houston said.

“We fought back to within 12 or 13 in the second half, but they were able to stretch it out again.”

Jazzlyn Wimbush led the Spartans for the second straight game. The freshman guard from Kansas City netted Contributed photo by JAY BOCHART 14 points.

New events expand IndyCar weekend at Iowa Speedway

Outdoor news Fee input The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) State Parks Bureau is beginning the process of establishing rental fees for new modern family cabins at Lake Darling and Brushy Creek state parks and creating rental fees for two new categories of shelters: “large” shelters and beach cabanas.

The DNR would like to hear from the public on the proposed fees before proceeding with formal rule making. Interested persons should go to the DNR website http://www. iowadnr.gov/Destinations/ StateParksRecAreas/ProposedRuleChanges.aspx to review information on the proposed fees and view the cabin floor plan and shelter photos.

Input will be accepted via e-mail, regular mail or orally and should be sent to sherry.arntzen@dnr.iowa. gov; Sherry Arntzen, Iowa DNR, 502 E 9th Street, Des Moines, IA; 515/242-6233.

The deadline for providing input is 4:30 p.m. CST, December 1, 2014.

Prairie chickens Chad Paup, wildlife biologist for the Wildlife Bureau’s Grand River Unit in southern Iowa, said he is happy to report the greater prairie chickens seem to be doing quite well.

“We can confidently report that we observed 10 to 12 broods this summer and the Nature Conservancy folks at the Dunn Ranch have observed 4 or 5 broods,” Paup said. He said probably the biggest contributing factors to the prairie chicken success the past couple of seasons is the habitat and the drier weather in June and July.

The DNR released 105 prairie chickens collected from western Nebraska in April on the Kellerton Area in Ringgold County to increase the local population.

Cabin season Looking for a getaway surrounded by Iowa’s late fall beauty that won’t cost an arm and a leg? Rent a cabin in a state park.

Go online to iowastateparks.reserveamerica.com to see what’s available where and what the cabins have to offer. There are many weekend dates available.

Trout on way The DNR releases 1,000 to 2,000 rainbow trout at select locations as part of its cool weather trout program that brings trout to areas that cannot support them during the summer months.

Trout will be released at 1 p.m., Nov. 5 in Moorland Pond, Fort Dodge; at noon, Nov. 8 in Scharnberg Pond, Spencer; at 2 p.m., Nov. 12 in Bacon Creek, Sioux City; at 10 a.m., Nov. 14 in Prairie Creek Park (Cedar Bend),

Cedar Rapids; at noon, Nov. 20 in Ada Hayden, Ames; at 1 p.m., Nov. 21 in North Prairie, Cedar Falls; and 11 a.m., Nov. 26 in Blue Pit, Mason City.

Anglers will need to have a valid fishing license and pay the trout fee to fish for or possess trout. The daily limit is five trout per licensed angler with a possession limit of 10.

Harvest update The latest crop report from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship showed 61 percent of corn and 91 percent of soybean harvest has been complete. That’s good news for pheasant hunters.

Lake projects SPIRIT LAKE — The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has begun work on lake improvement projects at Marble Lake and West Hottes Lake in Dickinson County.

Marble Lake, and nearby West Hottes Lake, will undergo a shallow lakes restoration project beginning this winter due to deteriorating water quality and habitat providing reduced benefit to fish and wildlife.

The DNR has removed many of the fishing regulations at Marble Lake ahead of this renovation.

Anglers with a valid fishing license are allowed to harvest any size or number of fish species from Marble Lake. Any number of fishing poles or jugs is allowed. Anglers must remain in sight of these lines at all times, and follow all other fishing regulations and area rules. Trot lines will be allowed (name and address must be attached), however lines may not be set across entire water body.

Nets, dynamite, poison, electric shocking devices, or any stupefying substances will not be allowed. It is illegal to sell fish or stock captured fish into public waters. Liberalized fishing regulations for will remain in effect until April 1.

The health of Marble and West Hottes lakes are extremely important to the health of Big Spirit Lake and the entire Iowa Great Lakes chain. When healthy, they are an important nursery area for fish, provide wildlife habitat, and filter nearly 20 percent of the water entering Big Spirit Lake.

The goal of the lake restoration project is to get these lakes functioning in a healthy state. The project calls for installing water pumps and three fish barriers to allow the DNR to manage the water level and to prevent carp from enter-

ing the lake and marsh to spawn.

Both lakes drain into East Hottes Lake before entering Big Spirit Lake at Buffalo Run. The water level will be lowered beginning in November. West Hottes Lake will be drained completely while Marble Lake will maintain some water. Any fish remaining in Marble Lake will be eliminated by Mother Nature during the winter.

When the project is complete, West Hottes Lake will be a healthy marsh with large stands of bulrushes filtering nutrients from the water. Marble Lake will be managed as a shallow lake similar to nearby Diamond Lake – vegetation around the outside to remove nutrients with open water in the middle for fishing.

Marble will eventually be restocked with yellow perch, with additional game fish and small predators.

Both areas will be attractive to shorebirds and waterfowl.

The nearly $500,000 project is a partnership between the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Fisheries and Wildlife Bureaus, Lakes Restoration Program, and Watershed Improvement Section; Ducks Unlimited, North American Wetlands Conservation Act, Dickinson County water Quality Commission, Spirit Lake Protective Association, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Natural Resources Conservation Service and the U.S. EPA.

REAP project The Coldwater/Pine Creek Water Quality Project serves as a shining example of how a quality trout stream can respond to the enhancement of the upstream drainage with best management practices (BMPs) — supported by REAP funding and local agricultural producers.

Voted Iowa’s Outstanding Watershed in 2014, the Winneshiek County watershed project illustrates how responsible land management practices can benefit everyone.

When settlers in the late 19th century built farmsteads in the Decorah area, limited technology urged them to choose sites in sheltered valleys, near waterways. Over time, the abundance of agricultural fields and livestock feedlots directly adjacent to streams caused excessive bacteria, nutrient and sediment levels that degraded the streams’ water quality.

Coldwater Cave, part of an underground network of rivers and springs, allows interconnectivity of ground water between Coldwater and Pine creeks’ watersheds, which were considered as one for the project. Coldwater and Pine creeks share a

40,000-acre watershed and are major tributaries to the Upper Iowa River, which serves as one of Iowa’s premier recreational waterways and trout fisheries.

Initiated in 2006, a variety of techniques were implemented in the Coldwater/ Pine Creek Water Quality Project to reduce bacteria, nutrient and sediment influxes. Terraces, sediment basins, grass waterways, animal waste storage systems, grade stabilization structures, nutrient management plans, heavy-use area protection, livestock exclusion, alternative watering sources, cover crops, filter strips, diversions, prescribed grazing incentives and pasture/hay-land planting were promoted and successfully implemented as best management practices.

An advisory board, made up of trusted local producers, Soil and Water Conservation District representatives, USDA-NRCS and the area DNR fisheries biologist, acted as a liaison to skeptical farmers. The approach was a huge success; some of the most initially critical voices became the project’s biggest advocates.

Once locals saw practices put on the ground , 49 different producers implemented best management practices, achieving a total reduction of 6,223 tons-per-year of sediment from reaching priority streams — the equivalent of 415 dump truck loads.

“When you have that many producers buy into it, you can see the grassroots support because initial skepticism to the need and success of BMPs are replaced with adoption and continued utilization of stewardship practices that are effective and yet producer friendly,” said Winneshiek Soil and Water Conservation District watershed coordinator Corey Meyer.

Innovative, technology-driven approaches, like solar- powered water pumps, limited livestock access to stream corridors and proved landowners’ willingness to use more modern technologies.

Where livestock had been trampling stream banks, lunker hides have been installed reducing 27 tons of sediment from reaching Coldwater Creek.

NEWTON — Iowa Speedway and INDYCAR officials have announced that “The Fastest Short Track on the Planet” will host the Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires and the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires prior to the Verizon IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300 on July 18, 2015.
