MOUNT AYR — After school officials overcame a couple of minor mid-week technological glitches, the newly completed Mount Ayr Community School’s

fine arts auditorium opened last weekend.

Three shows of the drama club’s presentation of “Shrek the Musical” were performed Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday afternoon. Director Shaun Kniep was nervous Wednesday night, hoping a few mechanical corrections could be made before it was showtime.

“The sound system wasn’t working for our rehearsals,” Kniep said. “We talked to the company and they came out Thursday to

Earlier, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he hopes Trump will shift his course on global warming and “understand the seriousness and urgency” of addressing the problem.

“As president of the United States, I’m sure that he will understand this, he will listen and he will evaluate his campaign remarks,” Ban told reporters in Marrakech.

The Paris Agreement was signed by more than 190 countries and has been formally approved by more than 100 of them, including the United States and even oil-rich Saudi Arabia.

Ban called international climate action “unstoppable” and said that no country, “however resourceful or powerful,” is immune from

Hollande: US mustrespect ‘irreversible’ climate deal MARRAKECH, Morocco (AP) — French President Francois Hollande on Tuesday urged the United States to respect the “irreversible” Paris Agreement on climate change, and said France will lead a dialogue on the topic with President-elect Donald Trump “on behalf of the 100 countries that have ratified” the deal.

Speaking to a U.N. climate conference in Morocco, Hollande praised President Barack Obama for his role in getting the landmark deal adopted by more than 190 countries in the French capital last year.

“The United States, the most powerful economy in the world, the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, must respect the commitments that were made,” he said. “It’s not simply their duty, it’s in their interest.”

An open visitation will be held from 1 to 7 p.m.

Kay was born Aug. 26, 1925, to Hans and Marie (Kelley) Weisshaar, second generation German and Irish immigrants. She was the eldest of six children, born on a farm near Creston shortly before the Great Depression.

Three attributes have remained constant throughout Kay’s life, her love of family, her innate predisposition for caring for others and her unwavering faith in God. She grew up surrounded by family and often filled the role as a second mom to siblings. Her cousins, both in Iowa and Canada, were her best friends and would stand by her side throughout her life.

Kay attended Creighton Memorial Saint Joseph’s Hospital School of Nursing in Nebraska, where she earned her nursing degree. Kay re-

Last year, about $22,000 was raised. To date, teachers have used the money toward grade-level events such as the annual fifth-grade colonial days, as well as to purchase books, color printers, iPads, Apple TVs and other educational items.

“Every grade level is allotted a certain amount, so

turned to Creston, where she began her nursing career as a Registered Nurse and spent many years working at Creston Medical Clinic. Later, she cared for children as a school nurse in Creston’s public school system.

In 1948, she married a young Navy veteran, Thomas E. (Gene) Hawks. Kay and Gene formed an enviable love and devotion to one another that would last 52 years. This love was shared with two children, Connie and Tom. They continued to love and nurture their growing family throughout their lives.

Kay and Gene later moved to West Des Moines, where she continued to care for the elderly in her family, sang in the church choir and baked her famous cookies. Kay could always be found helping others.

Kay is survived by her children, Connie McElree of Richland Center, Wisconsin, and Tom Hawks (Nancy) of Creston; her grandchildren, Chris Hawks (Susan), Tracey McElree, Stephanie Hawks (fiancé Shawn Huxhold), Emily Willoughby (Jason) and Joel McElree (Laura); her great-grandchildren, Molly Jo Hawks, William Hawks, Ian Hawks, Anabelle Willoughby, Tyler Willoughby, Thomas Krueger, Lydia Willoughby and Josephine McElree; and her brothers and sisters, Joe Ed Weisshaar (Mary Jane) of Creston, Dorothy Wallace (Dick) of Greenfield, Tom Weisshaar of Creston, Jane Keitges of Kansas City, Missouri, and John Weisshaar of Waukee.

“There’s a lot of new themed baskets this year that the classrooms put together and other people donate,” Scarberry said. “Some of those are Iowa/ISU, a Panthers basket, a date night basket, ‘A Hunting We Will Go’ and ‘Let’s Get Crockin’ – anything to do with cooking in a CrockPot, and we also have a one-of-

hear them all over the place, even backstage. It looks so much better, too! It’s awesome.”

Senior Mitchell Jennett, who played Shrek, was also impressed with the new environment.

“The old wood in the former stage was just gross,” Jennett said. “There were paint chips and everything all over it. The curtains were getting all torn up. These are super nice. And, the sound is incredible compared to what we used to have.”

Delwyn Showalter, the school’s athletic director who also oversees fine arts activities, said the facility, completed in early October, finally matches the level of performances.

“We have a really strong performing arts department here in Mount Ayr, and this auditorium is just wonderful for them,” Showalter said. “Shaun gets so many kids involved with our plays. They always did a great job in facilities that were outdated. It was hard to hear. We were extremely excited for the weekend to come and enjoy the experience in such a nice, new facility.”

Many details in the construction of the auditorium are stateof-the-art amenities.

“The stage is rearranged a lot better,” Showalter said. “The acoustics are better. The light booth was moved up above, creating more space down below. We have better seats and better lighting.”

Kniep, a Mount Ayr graduate who has taught at the school 15 years after three years in Diagonal, said the new auditorium is a smaller version of the Des Moines Civic Center, in terms of acoustical elements. Sound reverberates into the middle of the seated section, instead of fading out in the old auditorium.

School colors “First of all, the aesthetics are better because the audience sees school colors (black, red and gray) instead of the old orange and yellow with orange carpeting from the 1970s in the old auditorium,” Kniep said. “There are acoustic boards on the side walls and on the back wall of the auditorium. They also put in ‘clouds’ in the ceiling, formations that are designed to bounce the sound from the stage to the back wall and back toward the audience. That’s what you see in the Civic Center.

It’s awesome.”

Seating is also designed so everyone in the audience can see the stage performance. Seats are constructed of different widths across the rows so that no one is seated directly behind the person in front of them. Plus, there is a gradual rise in the elevation of the seats, which is another improvement on the former auditorium.

“It’s designed so that people can see between the shoulders of people in front of them, and you no longer have to worry about sitting behind someone really tall,” Kniep said. “We still have 400 seats, but our aisles are a little narrower to allow for the seats of different sizes across the rows.”

After her third performance of the weekend, Schafer summed up the experience.

“It’s amazing in here,” she said, smiling.

Next student performances in the new auditorium will be the winter band and vocal concerts in December.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, November 15, 2016

The protests against Trump HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Science News reported that Arab fishermen found a 200-pound hunk of whale vomit worth $3 million. It’s used to preserve the fragrances of very expensive perfumes. They discovered the vomit floating on the ocean Wednesday morning, proving that the whale is a Democrat.

New York had huge street protests Thursday against Donald Trump’s election. His victory was incomprehensible to many people. In Los Angeles, it had to be explained that Barack Obama has been canceled after eight seasons Trump and replaced by a new TV series called “Orange is the New President.”

Donald Trump tweeted his

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

praise for the political passion of protesters in New York, Chicago, Oakland and Los Angeles, who staged angry demonstrations against his electoral win. There is more consolation for them.

Thanks to WikiLeaks, Hillary Clinton’s victory speech is available online.

President Obama and Donald Trump met in the White House Thursday and said they enjoyed a nice visit. It surprised reporters.

Obama was cordial even though Trump is about to overthrow his legacy and Trump was comfortable, even though he had never been to a black man’s house before.

The Los Angeles Police were ordered to don their riot gear

Wednesday ahead of massive street protests against Donald Trump’s election. The protestors decided to block traffic on the Hollywood Freeway. Motorists were completely stranded on the freeway for hours and then the protestors arrived.

USA Today reported on a nationwide poll which reveals that since Election Day, two and a-half million Americans say they now want to move to Canada. Economists agree it’s really amazing.

Donald Trump has only been elected a week and he’s already created two and a-half million new jobs.

Democrats bickered Tuesday over whether Tuesday’s defeat was the fault of the establishment or the candidate. They never took the pulse of the electorate. The bad news for the American left is, U.S. voters elected Donald Trump president, and the worse news is, they were voting their consciences.

President-elect Trump named his running mate Mike Pence to head his transition team. They have 4,000 jobs and cabinet posts to fill. So far the betting favorites are Newt Gingrich for Secretary of State and Rudy Giuliani for Attorney General and Jeb Bush for Secretary of Low Energy.

Wal-Mart announced Thursday they will open on Thanksgiving Day at 6 p.m. and offer huge discounts on laptops and smartphones, the same day the NFL agreed to speed up games and the Dow Jones hit a record high.

It’s amazing. It only took Trump two days to make America great again.

Fox News reported that Canada’s immigration website crashed Wednesday due to Americans wanting to emigrate. It’s a new challenge. Now it looks like Trump is going to have to build one wall on the southern border to keep people out and one wall on the northern border to keep

people in.

House Speaker Paul Ryan took President-elect Donald Trump on a tour of the U.S. Capitol last week, two days after the election.

Old habits die hard. At one point, he accidentally referred to Congress as the Legislative Pageant and advised Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to lose a little weight.

Fox News reported Thursday that President-elect Donald Trump is considering naming Sarah Palin to his cabinet as Secretary of the Interior. She’d be in charge of our national parks. Just last Friday, Sarah Palin went on a tour of the Phoenix Zoo, and she had to stop three times to reload.

Bill Cosby’s lawyer in Philadelphia tried to disqualify four dozen witnesses Thursday because Cosby’s blind and can’t confront them in court. It sounds like legal malpractice. Any real defense lawyer would be able to convince the jury that Cosby’s blindness is proof that he only touched himself.

I normally don’t like to write about the problems we in the media have with politicians. Being a longtime reporter-commentator, I can’t possibly be unbiased, or even appear to be. Besides, I think we have a tendency to publicly spend too much time focusing on and whining about our issues. And now, we really deserve our bad reputation, particularly in our coverage of the Donald Trump phenomenon, although not for the reason you think we dropped the ball.

First of all, Trump and his people and Hillary and hers made the job of covering them exceedingly difficult, because they don’t appreciate the fact that we’re not supposed to be sycophantic messengers who simply cover them the way they want to be covered. Both the Clintonistas and the Trumpets went out of their way to stick it to us, denying access in a number of subtle ways – or in Donald Trump’s case, not-so-subtle ways. He has perfected the art of media bashing and maintained a longstanding tradition of trashing journalists; in fact, he’s dumped the whole Trumpster Dumpster on colleagues, coming close to inviting violent reprisals for the stories that don’t feed the bottomless pit of his ego. He’s also totally shut out journalists and whole organizations when they do stories that displease him.

Both of them, Clinton and Trump, also have jammed it to

King Features commentary Bob Franken

us in another way, and it’s a subtle one that blocks the job of best informing the public about their goings-on minute by minute: They did away with so-called protective pools. Protective pools are collections of reporters and camerapeople who are taken under the Secret Service umbrella that shields the candidate/president-elect/president.

The news organizations rotate one member each day, typically, from various media – print, TV, radio. The few then represent everybody and are expected to file for all from their privileged vantage point within the bubble.

It’s the orderly alternative to the normal free-for-all.

A big reason for having these, to be honest, is to allow close access in case the principal is harmed – or worse. History must be protected, and so must everyone’s right to know. Hillary Clinton was not allowing a protective pool to accompany her on Sept.

11, when she buckled at a memorial service. The result was a news vacuum, which was filled with all kinds of rumors.

Donald Trump and his people are only now pledging to finally establish protective pools, without being specific, but he didn’t allow them a place in his plane

as he made his historic first visit to the White House. It seems to be a continuing part of his intense effort to put the press in its place, to control the coverage.

To be blunt, the place of the press is in the face of the public official we are covering. Rather than being intimidated by Trump or anyone else, we need to be intensely skeptical. Rather than being finessed because Trump was a ratings magnet that news organizations groveled to get access to, we should be total pains.

It is not our job to be liked; it is our job to report the facts and context. If the politician – any politician – doesn’t like it, tough patootey (I hope my language isn’t too strong).

America needs that kind of coverage. If President Donald Trump continues to pursue his vendetta against media, democracy – which relies on an informed electorate – will be irretrievably harmed. As it is, we didn’t do that aggressive watchdog job well enough during the campaign.

We also were blind to the millions of common citizens who elected him. We have gotten too cozy with the establishment figures, playing their phony sophistication games, pretending we are smarter than everyone else. We need to get our hands dirty as we clean up our act. We also need the means to keep our citizens properly informed. Protective pools are just one of the tools that help us do that.

Bed needs a firm foundation Dear Heloise: This may seem like a silly question, but do you have to replace a BOX SPRING when replacing a mattress? They usually are sold as a set, but if there is nothing wrong with the box spring, why buy a new one? – Janice L., via email Janice, this is not a silly question! The answer is yes, you SHOULD replace both the mattress and the box spring when buying new bedding. The Better Sleep Council (www.bettersleep. org) tells us that the box spring is what provides the foundation to the mattress.

They suggest not putting a new mattress on an old box spring. This is especially important to note if the box spring is VERY old! It may affect the support of the bedding, making the entire bed not as comfortable or supportive. Plus, the “foundation,” or box spring, is not too expensive. Why risk years of bad sleep? – Heloise P.S. It’s hogwash, I say, that you can tell how old a mattress is by how much it weighs. Really? Show me the science!

NO YOGA Dear Heloise: After a brief, unsuccessful foray into yoga, I found that the lovely, inexpensive yoga mat I purchased could be turned into a myriad household helpers.

Hints from Heloise I cut the mat into place mats and coasters, mats for holding wet or dirty shoes, and as a mat for under the litter box. Best of all, it’s easy to cut and use as long-lasting drawer, cabinet and shelf liners! I find that rolls of lining material are flimsy at best, and expensive. Yoga mats come in great colors/patterns and can be found for as little as $5 at big-box stores. – Michelle B. in Houston VACUUM CORD Dear Heloise: My upright vacuum cleaner has an upper hook and a lower hook for wrapping the cord around. I never realized I could turn that upper hook to the side and down, thereby dumping the entire cord out in one motion. It’s faster than unwrapping all that cord. Maybe there are others out there who didn’t know this. – Vance B., via email I did a Heloise survey with my three upright vacuums. Two of them do have that turnable hook. On the third, the cord is wrapped around the handle and a low-

It adds enough thickness to hold the pin or brooch firmly against any material. And you still can clasp the pin on the other side so you will not lose it. – Abby T. in Connecticut TAKE PICTURE Dear Heloise: I was at the gas-station pump, and the receipt did not print.

Horoscope For Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a day full of surprises.

You might meet new people, especially younger people or people who are characters.

Enjoy this day!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Your finances are unpredictable today. Please take note: This is a poor day to spend money on anything other than gas, food and entertainment.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) For most of this day, the Moon is in your sign, but it is adrift.

This is why you feel indecisive and unsure of what to do next.

Just go with the flow.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Solitude and a chance to work alone will appeal to you today.

This is a poor day for making important decisions or spending money on anything other than gas and food.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You will enjoy a heart-to-heart conversation with a female friend today. This is the kind of day where people will let their hair down and confide in each other.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be aware of what you do today, because others will notice you.

This is not a good day for making important decisions.

Do not volunteer for anything or accept increased responsibilities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You will enjoy travel for pleasure today, plus a chance to see beautiful places and artistic objects. You want to expand your mind, but you don’t want to make too much effort to do so.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Although you are focused on shared property, insurance issues, taxes and debt, today is a poor day to make important decisions in these areas. Just do your homework.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) For most of today, do not make demands of others.

Conversely, don’t volunteer for anything, either. Just go with the flow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your efforts to get better organized today will be challenged by silly interruptions and delays. Just take care of business as usual, and don’t initiate anything new.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)This is a wonderful, creative

day for you! Look for ways to express your artistic talents.

SPORTS Panther boys basketball underway

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, November 15, 2016

CNA photo by KALEB CARTER

The Creston boys basketball team listens intently to coach Taylor Phipps near the end of the Panthers’ first evening practice of the season. Forty-one players listen to his instructions before moving on to the next drill.

n Forty-one boys report for opening day of Creston hoops practice

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

A group of 41 Creston students between grades 9-12 hopped into the gym Monday evening for the first boys basketball practice of the year.

Enough boys players from each grade stepped in so as to allow the Panthers to have three separate teams to run through offensive instillation of sets and plays.

What amounted to tentative varsity, junior varsity and freshmen squads worked under the instruction of second-year head coach Taylor Phipps, junior varsity coach Todd Jacobson and new freshmen coach Drew Dornack. “The kids are excited and the coaches are excited to get started,� Phipps said.

The energy and the effort was awesome. Everybody’s excited the first day of practice and ready to work.�

Progress is slow to begin the year. Players will always want to get up the court and see action at full speed. “As we’re kind of the first day of installing some things on offense and just getting used to running those things against a live defense, it’s a thing we’re just going to

have to continue to work on and hopefully be able to play a little more smooth,�

Phipps said.

The Panthers ended the day with some 5-on-5 fullcourt looks from several different groups of Panthers.

The action was slow, the players a little bit hesitant.

The guys who have gotten work in since last year? A little more apparent. “A lot of guys spent a lot of time in the gym over summer,� Phipps said. “Evan (Jacobson) and Kylan (Smallwood) were both in there quite a bit. This fall Cody (Crawford) has been shooting a lot. I’m excited to see what those guys are doing. A number of other guys were in the gym quite a bit.�

A few new faces come into the fold for a program coming off of a 6-16 season. “I think our depth is going to be really good this year.

I’m hoping there’s a number of guys I think who will be able step up and play some minutes whether its Cole Higgins and Brenden McDowell at the guard spots and Zach Carlson moved in. Looks like he could be able to contribute some,�

Phipps said. “And obviously have guys from last year, Ian and Devean (Reese) kind of our post with Tuck. Trev-

or Downing came out this year, he didn’t play last year.

There’s definitely a number of guys that are going to get some minutes.�

Two more return from injury. “I’m really excited to see Jaden Driskell and Seth Thompson coming off their injuries from last year. I think they’re going to contribute a lot to the team this year,� Phipps said.

With time, clarity will come to the varsity lineup. Battles will be waged for spots across each of the three rosters.

Mountain Man’s Special Turkey Ingredients • 1 cup of apple juice • 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce • 1-Whole Turkey

• 5-Gallon Pale for Brining • Aluminum Foil • Brown Sugar

• Fresh Garlic • GMG Poultry Rub • Kosher Salt

Pellets - Texas | Fruitwood | Gold Blend

Let’s Get Started: 1) Thaw the turkey in the refrigerator. 2-5 days depending on the size of the bird. You can also thaw it in cold water in 8-12 hours. Remove the neck and the giblets from the bird’s cavities.

2) Put the turkey in the pan or pail and then add enough water to completely cover it.

3) Remove the turkey.

4) Add enough kosher salt to the water until a raw egg just seems buoyant. Stir. Add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar or molasses and 5 tablespoons of GMG Poultry Rub. 5) Use a garlic press or mash several cloves of garlic with the side of a butcher’s knife and add to the brine. Stir thoroughly.

6) Brine the turkey overnight. Make sure no part of the turkey is out of the water.

7) Remove the turkey and pat dry with paper towels.

8) Push a wooden spoon underneath the skin all the way around the bird, top and bottom, to break the skin away from the esh.

9) Rub reasonable amounts of Green Mountain Poultry Rub on the esh with your hands between the skin and the meat. Do this top and bottom – wherever you can reach.

10) Place the turkey, breast side down, in a disposable aluminum pan.

11) Turn the grill on and set it to 185°. When that temperature stabilizes, put the turkey in the grill.

12) Make a mixture of 1 cup of apple juice and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Put this in a small spray bottle.

13) Spritz (spray) the turkey about once per hour. Make sure that you spritz thoroughly, especially inside the bird’s cavities.

14) Cook the turkey for about 8 hours, regardless of the size of the bird.

15) After 8 hours, turn the bird over. Turn the grill up to 275°.

16) Push a metal meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast, about 3/4� away from the bone. Leave the thermometer in.

17) Continue to cook for about 10-12 minutes per pound until the temperature on the meat thermometer reaches 160°. If the skin becomes browner than you like during this period, you can cover the breast with aluminum foil. Remove the turkey from the grill, cover it completely with foil, and let it rest for 20-30 minutes, during which time the temperature will continue to rise to 165°.

18) Carve your turkey. Overeat. Watch football. Repeat

Cyclone men roll to home win AMES, — (AP) Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said last month that forward Deonte Burton’s goal should be to get a double-double every game.

Burton got his first one out of the way Monday night, helping the 20th-ranked Cyclones through their first bout of minor adversity this season.

Monte Morris scored 18 points, Matt Thomas added 13 and Iowa State beat Mount St. Mary’s 73-55.

Burton had 10 points and 13 rebounds for the Cyclones (2-0), who’ve won their first two games by an average of 30 points.

Mount St. Mary’s (0-2) got within 10 early in the second half, but six Cyclones scored during a 15-1 run that put the game out of reach.

Iowa State outrebounded Mount St. Mary’s 50-38, but it also shot an uncharacteristic 4 of 16 from 3-point range.

The comfort zone • Multiple remotes are a TV watcher’s bane. Help control the controls with universal versions, such as the Logitech Harmony Companion (around $150), which can handle nearly all electronics in all rooms of a home, including TVs, gaming consoles and streaming systems. For a major splurge, consider the new Savant Remote + Host, with a cool design and touch screen, at $500.

The RCA Universal Remote (about $9) is a thrifty choice.

• Introduce your favorite Luddites to a good streaming device and their lives will never be the same, with access to services including Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu.

The Chromecast (about $35) gets the job done and so does the Amazon Fire TV Stick ($40), which has added Alexa Voice Remote.

The Roku Streaming Stick (about $50) is handy for travelers.

For true devotees, consider a black-andgold-toned bar necklace inscribed “Mrs. Robot” (under $8) or a print of an original drawing merging the faces of stars Rami Malek and Christian Slater for $19.20 (both at etsy.com/market/ mr_robot).

On the obsessive side, fans of Caitriona Balfe’s Claire and Sam Heughan’s Jamie might covet their roughly 8-inch-high photo depictions ready for desktop display ($12.95 each). All available at outlander-

Volume one uses stills and script excerpts to chronicle its seven seasons. The second volume includes interviews with series creator Matthew Weiner, star Jon Hamm, the show’s writers, costume designer Janie Bryant and others, along with set photos and what’s intriguingly described as “production ephemera.”
