Train whistles to cease Monday in Creston

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

The day has come.

A quiet zone has successfully been established in uptown Creston, and at 10 a.m. Monday, train

whistles are expected to cease at the Elm Street and New York Avenue crossings. It’s a project that city officials began working on in spring 2007.

“I’m just happy we’ve got to this point,” said Kevin Kruse, public works director in Creston. “Every-

one that we’re required to notify about this has been. We’re still set for whistles to cease at 10 a.m.

Monday.”

City officials started this quiet zone project 8 1/2 years ago after uptown business owners voiced concerns that the whistles were too

loud and they were having trouble communicating with customers in person and on the phone.

Since, medians abutting with the stop arms on Elm Street and New York Avenue were constructed with the intention of adding another layer of safety at the crossings.

Still, this has been a controversial project in the community as some citizens like the nostalgic sound of the train whistles and they also point to history as Creston was established in the early 1870s because of the railroad.

AFTON — Five years ago, a walk through the door at 205 S. Douglas St. in Afton would have revealed chalkboards, classroom posters and floors lined with school desks and chairs.

Now, a step inside reveals something much different: Bright-yellow walls lined with photos of Elvis, tables shaped like records and a large jukebox.

Afton was the perfect halfway point between Minnesota and Kansas, the states where their parents live.

“David basically drew a circle on the map and said, ‘We need to be somewhere in this area,’” Sara said. “We found this place online, and within two weeks we had closed.”

About 300 attended the event where Randy Hagle and the chapter were honored with a plaque for raising $100,000 since 2000. There was also a special auction item in honor of the late Jeff Bierle, with proceeds going to his daughter’s college education.

The item, a framed print, was auctioned twice and brought $3,750. Bierle was a longtime member of Whitetails and avid outdoorsman.

The 2015 Union County Christmas Basket Fund campaign is underway.

This year’s fund goal is $19,000 and organizers are gearing up for another successful campaign.

To date, $905 has been contributed.

Last year, 550 baskets serving more than 1,200 people were distributed. Residents of care centers in Creston and Afton received fruit and Kleenex.

Baskets include meat, canned goods donated through efforts of Boy Scouts and school and community projects and certificates redeemable at local supermarkets for perishable foods.

Nominations for Union County residents will be taken until Nov. 24.

Each child 18 and younger will also receive a gift certificate for clothing items.

Along with providing food baskets and certificates to those in need at Christmas, monetary and food donations are used by The Christmas Basket Fund to provide assistance throughout the year. Those organizations are MATURA, Food for Life, Ministerial Alliance, open table and the food pantry.

Young visits: Congressman David Young listens to Todd Spencer of Iowa Workforce Development (IWD) during a meeting in Creston this morning. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) system in southwest Iowa. The WIOA, which is in effect from 2015 until 2020, was created “to provide state and local areas the flexibility to collaborate ... in an effort to better address the employment and skills needs of current employees, jobseekers and employers.” The WIOA replaces the Workforce Investment Act, which was established in 1998. The WIOA seeks to address the evolving workforce and the limitations of the previous act in respect to training, funding and service delivery. Also pictured are Leslie McCarthy of Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services and Beth Townsend, IWD director.

modulars at the back of the old school. Sara followed a few weeks later. The couple did much of the work themselves, transforming the abandoned school into their new restaurant.

“Most of all, the plumbing had to be redone, and a lot of electrical (work),” David said. “It’s just an old building.

We love it.”

While the renovation took nine months, the couple did take a few breaks, including

one in June to travel back to Minnesota for their wedding.

The food The restaurant’s theme marries the classic ‘50s and ‘60s vibe with a nod to the location’s history. That carries over to the menu, too.

For breakfast, customers can order a “John Denver Omelet” or a “La Bamba Burrito.” A large stack of pancakes goes by the name “45’s,” and a short stack is called “Baby Cakes.” Burger offerings include the “Chubby Checker,” “Patti Page” and “Johnny Rocket,” as well as the hometown nods like the “Afton Burger” and “Ea-

gle Burger.” The restaurant also features a special of the day like meatloaf, chicken pot pie, lasagna, and scalloped potatoes and ham.

Across the hall from the diner is the restaurant’s ice cream parlor and soda fountain with an attached gift shop. Here, customers can order shakes, malts, floats, sundaes and more. Sara said there’s plans to soon add a full-service bakery in the classroom behind it.

Other than Casey’s, no business in Afton serves early breakfasts or opens on Mondays. With this in mind, the Hunters open 6 a.m. on week-

days so farmers and hunters can catch an early bite. After the grand opening, the Hunters also plan on beginning an all-day buffet on Sundays.

The restaurant also stays open past 8 p.m. every night.

The Hunters have some plans much bigger than a small-town diner. Sara said future additions may include minigolf in the old playground area and a sand volleyball court on the north side.

David said Wednesday’s “soft open” brought in between 120 and 130 customers.

He said a grand opening, sign hanging and ribbon cutting will be coming soon.

Jack Drake, R-Griswold.

Ennis, 68, is director of marketing for National Farmers Organization.

Ennis had previously run Ennis on the Democratic ticket against

Drake in the 2014 District 21 election, in which Drake won with 60 percent of the vote.

“This is something that I’ve always wanted to do,” Ennis said this morning.

“I’m very happy about the support that I’ve received and the engagement.”

The filing deadline for the special election is 5 p.m. today. The Creston News Ad-

vertiser will have more information on absentee voting when it becomes available.

District 21 includes all of Union and Adams counties and portions of Pottawattomie and Cass counties.

Topping off the squeeze bottles Dear Heloise: Here is a hint for those who use a lot of mustard, mayo and ketchup in SQUEEZE BOTTLES. I save easy-pour spout tops off bottles (jelly, too) when we are done. I clean them and stick them in a drawer.

When I get a new bottle that has only a twist cap, I find a lid that fits the new bottle.

I can’t always find a match, but the majority of the time I can. — Tanya O., Arlington, Va. Tanya, sometimes a simple hint like this can make the day a little better! Also, keep all the tops from squeeze bottles. When one of the tops gets yucky (as they will), just switch out with a clean one, and pop the dirty one in the dishwasher utensil basket. — Heloise TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: As a falseteeth wearer and air traveler, the soaking cups that are available don’t pack well in a carry-on bag. They just take up too much space! I use a 6-by-6-inch vacuum-seal bag. I put everything in it, fill with enough water and

Hints from Heloise stand it in the sink. It packs totally flat and takes up no space. Just be sure to use a new bag. A used one may have a pinhole and will leak.

— Paul S., Salem, Ore. ICE-CREAM STAIN Dear Heloise: My son is invited to many birthday parties during the school year, and he always comes home with a shirt full of icecream stains. Please help. I do my best, but sometimes he just takes the shirt off, throws it in the hamper, and I don’t see it until I do laundry. — Ronnie’s Mom in Los Angeles Well, the good news is that he is putting his dirty clothes in the hamper! Try this: Soak the shirt in cool tap water for several hours.

Check in once in a while, rub the stains with your fingers and replace the water.

When it’s time to wash, put liquid laundry detergent or

Horoscope Saturday, Nov. 14, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful today, because this is a poor day for important decisions, especially regarding anything related to medicine, the law, higher education and publishing. Just sit tight.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Although your focus is on shared property, inheritances and red-tape issues today, just do your homework. Do not make a decision today. Wait until tomorrow or later.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be accommodating to others today, but do not agree to anything important. Just listen to what others say, and think about it. Tell them you need to give everything a sober second thought.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Expect delays and shortages at work today. Just carry on business as usual. Don’t volunteer for anything, and don’t agree to anything important.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a wonderful, creative, playful day! Enjoy social outings and playful activities with children.

You are in touch with your muse today, which is why your imagination is soaring free!

Enjoy fun-loving conversations with others, but keep things light. Avoid important decisions.

Trust your impulses, but do not make any important decisions.

See where your imagination leads you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a lovely day to schmooze with others, because people are open and ready to share ideas. Fill your databank, but do not make important decisions — not today.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) When talking to people in authority today, don’t agree to anything important. Don’t volunteer for anything. Just listen and give others your answer tomorrow or Monday.

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, November 13, 2015

5 things parents need to know about HPV (BPT) — Being a parent means looking out for your kids. When they were small it meant making sure they wore a helmet, crossed the street carefully and wore sunscreen.

As they get older, the health challenges they face change.

As they become adolescents, you can’t always be with them, so you warn against things like the dangers of alcohol and drugs and sharing too much on social media.

But what about human papillomavirus (HPV) - a virus that can cause certain cancers and diseases? Learning about health risks your children may be exposed to as adolescents or young adults that can affect them later in life is the first step toward helping to protect them.

You may have heard about HPV, but you may not be aware of the impact it may have. As your children become adolescents it’s more important than ever to be their health advocate and learn about potential future health concerns, including HPV. Here are five HPV facts for parents: 1. HPV is more common than you may think.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC), about 79 million Americans are currently infected with HPV, and there are approximately 14 million new HPV infections in the United States each year. Half of these infections occur in people ages 15-24. For most, HPV clears on its own. But for others who don’t clear certain types, HPV can cause significant consequences in both males and females.

2. When HPV does not clear, it can cause certain pre-cancers, cancers and other diseases. These can develop very slowly and may not even be diagnosed until years later. There’s no way to predict who will or won’t clear the virus.

3. You may have only heard of HPV as a cause of cervical cancer in women, but there are other HPV-related diseases that can affect males,

as well as females. Certain types of HPV cause cervical, vaginal and vulvar pre-cancers and cancers in females and other HPV types cause genital warts and anal cancer in males and females.

4. HPV often has no visible signs or symptoms, so many people are not even aware that they have it. This means people can pass on HPV without knowing it. It may take only one sexual

encounter to be infected with HPV. HPV can be transmitted through experimentation that involves genital contact of any kind - intercourse is not necessary but is the most common.

5. You may think it’s too soon to worry about how HPV could affect your son or daughter, but the best time to get the facts about HPV is before they may be exposed.

As a parent you never stop

looking out for your kids, and the more we learn about health risks for our children, the more we can do to help protect them as they grow up. Take action now, while you are still managing your adolescent’s health care.

Speak with your child’s doctor for more information and be sure to ask about ways to help prevent HPV-related cancers and diseases, including vaccination.

What are you really hungry for?

When Bruce Springsteen croons “everybody’s got a hungry heart,” you can feel how desperate a person can be for love. So it’s not surprising that psychologists agree with that analogy: Turns out if you’re eating or drinking too much, you actually might be hungry for relationships.

According to Michael McKee, M.D., a psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic, “Feeling lonely activates the sympathetic nervous system in a chronic way that includes regular output of stress hormones.” And self-soothing with food and/ or alcohol can be an attempt to ease that discomfort.

If that sounds familiar, well, 35 percent of adults 45 and older say they’re lonely.

Chronic loneliness is associated with bouts of the blues, insomnia, chronic headache or backache, even elevated blood pressure. Fortunately, if you rely on food and alcohol to temporarily boost your lonely mood, there are other ways to ease your isolation — and improve your health!

1. Find an organization that does work you admire and get involved. You’ll get outside your own head, interact with caring people and improve your self-esteem!

2. Write out a list of people you would like to touch base with — old school friends, former colleagues or relatives. Choose one name a week to contact.

Call, email, send a card.

Then follow up.

3. Keep a journal of what you eat or drink and your mood at the time. Seeing the correlation will help you moderate your diet and drinking habits. And don’t

hesitate to find a trained counselor to talk with.

BRING ADDICTION INTO THE LIGHT: THE NATIONAL NIGHT OF CONVERSATION What do Demi Lovato, Robert Downey Jr. and Drew Barrymore have in common? They all were addicted to drugs, but once they acknowledged the damage it was doing to their life, they entered recovery. Now, they’re glad to talk about the reality of overcoming addiction and to help others understand the nature of the beast. As Lovato said in a 2014 interview: “It’s a mental illness and it’s a disease ... people need to have compassion for it.”

Even though many celebs talk about their addiction and recovery, the conversation needs to become more frequent (or happen for the very first time) in families like YOURS and YOURS and YOURS. Here’s why: In 2013, around 25 million Americans over the age of 12 used an illicit drug in the past month; 23.5 million are now addicted to alcohol or drugs; and every 40 minutes someone dies of a drug overdose. It’s happening in every neighborhood in the country.

That’s why on Nov. 19 we’re calling for a National Night of Conversation — a coming together of folks you care about (co-workers, friends, family, kids and elders, too) to share dinner and talk about addiction.

Using our conversation guide (check out www.doctoroz.com), you and your near-and-dear can explore how addiction happens, help your kids avoid drugs and become better prepared to help others struggling with addiction. It will harness the power of community to help everyone find their best route to prevention and to recovery. That’s a dish full of hope!

HOW TO SAFELY INCREASE YOUR SEXUAL ENERGY Lamar Odom, NBA star and reality-TV personality, recently was stricken after reportedly using an herbal “Viagra.” And while we’ve frequently warned you about the risks of taking unregulated and often toxic supplements for enhanced sexual performance (as well as for weight loss, an energy boost or to build muscle), it’s finally become inescapable news that these concoctions can be dangerous.

The Food and Drug Administration states in an Oct. 15, 2015, update on the dangers of so-called herbal sexual-enhancement supplements: “... lab tests have found that nearly 300 of these products contain undisclosed drug ingredients.

These can include the same active ingredients found in prescription drugs that are FDA-approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) ... they also sometimes may include combinations of undisclosed ingredients or excessively

high doses ... because their labels do not list the potentially hazardous ingredients.” (The FDA doesn’t regulate herbals.)

Enough said. If you’re concerned about genuine sexual enhancement, we’ve got the winning ingredients: a healthy heart, blood vessels loaded with nitric oxide, lowered stress response and a genuine connection with your partner. So start today to create a lifetime of intimate pleasure by making sure you eat a heart-loving diet filled with non-starchy veggies, whole grains, healthy proteins like fish and skinless chicken and, if your doc says it’s OK, a glass of wine daily. Practice mindful mediation every day (unhealthy stress takes your mind off pleasure).

And cultivate meaningful connections with those you care about by listening, sharing activities and having a generous heart. Then get creative. Ba-zing!

THE INCONVENIENCE OF CONVENIENCE FOOD Did you fill up your tank and your stomach at the same stop? “Sure. It’s convenient,” you say. Well, since there are more than 151,000 convenience stores in the U.S. hauling in over $700 BILLION annually, that certainly seems to be the consensus. But grabbing food at spots that specialize in packaged snacks, sweet beverages and sugary desserts is leaving grocery stores in the dust and destroying your health.

According to a study from the University of North Carolina, in 2012, households bought around 34 percent of their food from mass merchandisers, convenience

stores and warehouse clubs.

Grocery stores, stocked with a wide variety of unpackaged foods and fresh fruit and vegetables that give you a younger RealAge and help prevent diseases from cancer to kidney failure, are losing ground, while North Americans are gaining weight.

The truth is, those pit stops for food aren’t convenient at all! Not if you factor in the added health battles, out-of-pocket medical and insurance costs and lost wages that you’ll face if you don’t get five to nine servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily, limit your intake of sat fat and eliminate trans fats, simple carbs and added sugars and syrups.

The inflammation triggered by a diet high in processed “convenient” foods causes heart disease, cancer, dementia and sexual dysfunction — and that’s just the beginning.

So write up a shopping list, head to the grocery store and prepare homecooked meals for the family (get them to help!). Good health is always convenient!

THE HIDDEN HEALTH BENEFITS OF WALKING George Matthew Schilling is said to be the first person to walk around the world; he did it from 1897 to 1904.

And according to Guinness World Records, the first verified global trans-perambulator was David Kunst, who trekked from June 20, 1970, to October 5, 1974. He walked 14,450 miles through four continents. But you don’t have to go to all that effort to get the amazing benefits of regular (the keyword is regular!) walking.

By getting a pedometer,

a walking buddy and good shoes, and heading out for 10,000 steps every day, you can ... ... banish the bad influence of weight-promoting genes! Harvard researchers found that walking for an hour a day cuts the “plump you up” power of those genes in half! ... shrink your craving for sweets. Putting one foot in front of the other, say scientists at the University of Exeter, eases chocolate lust, while other studies show that walking mutes the desire for a wide range of sugary snacks. ... reduce the risk for breast (and possibly other) cancers. An American Cancer Society study shows that gals who walk seven or more hours a week have a 14 percent lower risk of breast cancer than those who walk three hours or fewer per week. ... strengthen your immune system. Even a little walking (20 minutes a day, way less than our optimal recommendation) helps. A study of more than 1,000 men and women showed that 20 minutes, five days a week, reduced their sick days by 43 percent. Just think what 10,000 steps a day will do! *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

The Book Club

The Book Club met 12:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 2, at the home of Shonda Deranleau.

Pat Pokorny gave the book report on “Nop’s Trials” by Donald McCaig. This is the story of Lewis Burkholder, a farmer in Virginia and his young Border Collie dog, Nop. When Nop is stolen, he embarks on an ordeal of danger and hardship which he survives through courage and love. The same qualities in Lewis enable him to search relentlessly for Nop – a search that takes him far from home. What Lewis and Nop both experience, the different people they encounter in their separate ordeals, shows how people treat each other and the way they treat animals. During the discussion following the report, we learned that a good dog has honesty in its character.

McCaig also wrote “Ruth’s Journey.” His books are good adventure stories.

Meeting was called to order at 1:35 p.m. by President Velma Riegel. Roll call was answered by members telling the books they read.

Minutes and treasurer’s report were approved. Plans were made for our December Christmas luncheon and meeting. Meg Crawford was thanked for the nice yearbooks she had made. Meeting adjourned.

Ladies Literary Circle met at the home of Dee Ann Stults with Vanita Moberg as the co-hostess. The meeting was called to order by President Linda Hartsock. Roll call was followed by the reading of the minutes by Secretary Jean E. Mark. Dyan Huffman gave the treasurer’s report. A collection was taken for the Creston Christmas Basket. Changes were made in booklets for hostesses and reviewers in the coming months. Marilyn Engelson of the program committee then introduced Pat Bishop who reviewed “God is Not in the Thesaurus” by Bo Don Cox. The introduction to this book was written by Edward S. Gleason, editor of “The Forward Movement,” an Episcopal publication.

The book was written in an Oklahoma prison where Bo is serving a life sentence for committing murder. Bo was brought up in Coalgate, Oklahoma. His life changed dramatically on July 25, 1986. Struggling with drug addiction and alcoholism, a bar fight with another man resulted in murder. Other changes followed as Bo lived, prayed and became a new man as he lived his life in prison. He began to write, entered a writing contest and won a substantial award. “Day by Day” was the inspiring Episcopal daily meditation guide that he had grown up with and he asked if he could write a month of meditations. The meditations of November 1995, later published under the title

“Release,” brought a torrent of response. Bo continues to write from prison. The tales from an Oklahoma prison tell the story of Bo’s life, his old life and his new life. They speak of hope and new life behind razor wire and prison walls. Gleason says that when he sees Bo in prison, sits and talks with him or exchanges letters, he is overwhelmed by respect, awe and admiration. There is a tradition of powerful Christian testimony written from behind prison walls. These stories are part of that tradition. They offer the promise of new life. Pat chose four selections to share with the group.

A delicious repast of sandwiches, nuts and candy was served from a table decorated for autumn. The next meeting will be Nov. 20 at the home of Ann Driskell with Judy Woods reviewing “Warriors Don’t Cry” by Melba Patillo Beals.

Nielsen lives dream on ISU sidelines

By SCOTT VICKER

there in case coach Burnham needs his assistance with anything.

“If my coach needs something, he’ll usually scream my name on the sideline,” Nielsen said.

“It’s usually bubble gum. I have to keep a hefty pack of bubble gum in my pocket for coach Burnham.”

When the Cyclones kick field goals, he has to go retrieve the ball from the stands.

During warmups, coach Burnham uses Nielsen to throw passes to the linebackers.

For away games, Nielsen has ridden in the team’s semi to Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, and Baylor in Waco, Texas. The trip to Lubbock was about 17 hours. The Waco trip took about 14 hours.

In those instances, Nielsen left on Thursday night in order to get there and set up the visiting team’s locker room and unload all of the equipment.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Ryan’s return EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Rex Ryan’s return to the Meadowlands was a successful one - thanks to his pride and joy, the defense.

Buffalo’s defense shut down Ryan’s former team for much of Thursday night, and the Bills scored on offense and special teams in a 22-17 victory over the New York Jets.

Duke Williams returned a fumbled kickoff 19 yards for the goahead points, rookie Karlos Williams had a 26-yard touchdown catch and Dan Carpenter kicked three field goals. Buffalo (5-4) moved into the wildcard playoff picture, while the Jets (5-4) have lost three of their last four games.

Ryan was fired by the Jets after six seasons and immediately hired

by Buffalo last January.

His defense, had two interceptions, recovered a fumble and stopped the Jets inside the Bills 10 in the final minutes — prompting some vigorous fist pumps Ryan repeated when Bacarri Rambo clinched it with a last-minute pick.

Simmons traded ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) The Atlanta Braves traded Andrelton Simmons to the Los Angeles Angels for Erick Aybar and top pitching prospects Sean Newcomb and Chris Ellis on Thursday night.

The Braves also get $2.5 million, while the Angels get minor league catcher Jose Briceno in a deal headlined by two quality major league shortstops trading places on teams with differing needs.

Simmons is arguably the best defensive shortstop in baseball, winning the Gold Glove in 2013 and 2014. He was named the Wilson Defensive Player of the Year on Wednesday, offsetting his mediocre offensive skills with spectacular work in the field.

Simmons also is under contract through 2020, while Aybar could become a free agent next winter.

Warriors 10-0 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Stephen Curry dribbled across midcourt in the third quarter and went into a trademark crouch as he started to break down Andre Miller.

As Curry rose to take the shot, the 39-yearold Miller somehow got a hand on the ball and jarred it loose.

The reigning MVP still managed to gather himself in the air and fire a one-handed, shotput style 3-pointer that splashed through.

AMES — Evan Nielsen lives out a dream every Saturday when he runs onto the field at Jack Trice Stadium.

The 2014 graduate of Creston High School and Iowa State sophomore works on the Iowa State football staff as a student manager.

“It’s really a dream come true. I’ve been a die-hard Iowa State fan my whole life,” Nielsen said. “I always thought it’d be awesome to be part of the team somehow. I’m so happy to find this opportunity for this job.”

Nielsen inquired about the opportunity to be a student manager during the fall of his freshman year at Iowa State. With one week left in his freshman year, the design major finally heard back from the team.

The team brought Nielsen in for an interview.

About 11 other students were interviewed for positions with the team and Nielsen was selected for one of the openings.

“I got the interview and then I reached out to (a manager) and some other guys to see what it was like,” Nielsen said. “It’s time consuming, but it doesn’t bother me that much, because I love it so much. I’m learning a lot of good skills. It’s really fun to see what a Division I practice is like every day.”

Responsibilities

Nielsen has a long list of responsibilities he must take care of on a daily basis.

“What aren’t my responsibilities?” he joked.

The Iowa State sophomore goes to class until about noon each day and then grabs a quick lunch.

After lunch, he’s off to the Bergstrom Football Complex.

On a typical practice day, Nielsen sets up the field for practice, which includes setting up stations for agility training and individual drills. Then, he meets with his bosses inside the equipment room and is given the daily rundown for practice.

Nielsen is a coach’s assistant, working closely with linebackers coach Shane Burnham. He serves as Burnham’s right-hand man during practice.

“I’ll be in the drill, be a decoy running back or I’ll have to pull a sled or something,” Nielsen said. “I’m his right-hand man during the individual period at practice. I only work with defense. I basically just help out with the defense or whatever coach (Paul) Rhoads or coach Burnham needs. I’m there to help.”

Following practice, Nielsen takes everything from the field and sets it back up in the team’s trailer. The process of tearing down practice takes about an hour.

On an average practice day, Nielsen spends about six and a-half hours working for the football team.

“That’s on top of design, which is a challenge,” he said. “But I usually make it work somehow. I just have to sacrifice odd hours to do my homework. It’s very time consuming, very

demanding. But us managers do a lot of stuff for the team that is vital for how practice is run and how games are run. Basically the only thing we can’t do is coach the players.”

kickoff. After meeting in the equipment room, Nielsen begins setting up the field with the coaches’ communication headsets and benches on the sidelines.

Before all of that, he spends the night before home games putting all of the players’ pads and helmets in their lockers.

During the game, Nielsen is a utility man on the sidelines. He’s there to

Working with the Iowa State football team has given Nielsen an opportunity to bond with his younger brother Alex, a freshman student at Iowa State and a former all-state quarterback for the Creston/O-M Panthers.

“It’s fun to talk football with Alex,” Nielsen said.

“I really can’t share anything with him, but a lot of the stuff is just fun to talk football after the game.

He loves football so much.

It’s his favorite thing in the world.”

Spartan team wins home shooting meet AFTON — The Southwestern Community College sports shooting team hosted five schools from the Iowa Collegiate Sports Shooting Conference Saturday at the High Lakes Outdoor Alliance range near Three Mile Lake.

Of the 15 squads competing from five schools, the No. 1 Spartan squad claimed the team championship by shooting 478 targets, three more than the Iowa Central Tritons top team.

Jonathan Cox of the Spartans scored a 99 to edge a pair of Triton shooters with 98 and 97, to round out the men’s leaders.

SWCC’s Shelby Woods missed only two of 100 targets to take the female individual title.

This finishes the fall portion of the schedule for the shooting team, training over the winter for the spring season that kicks off in late March at the ACUI Collegiate Clay Target Cham-

If a conflict arises with his class schedule, Nielsen said he can take a semester off from working for the team and then return to his

position.

Living his dream of being part of the Iowa State football team is a memory Nielsen will cherish for the rest of his life — even the time coach Rhoads ran him over at practice.

Nielsen can be seen on the sidelines Saturday when the Cyclones host Oklahoma State at 2:30 p.m. The game is being televised on ESPN.
