Board considers pros, cons of 1st-grade move

By IAN RICHARDSON

CNA staff reporter irichardson@crestonnews.com

With space in Creston’s Elementary/Middle School at a premium this year, next fall’s first graders could find themselves spending one more year in the building they attended kindergarten and preschool.

The addition of a sixth section of second graders this school year has made an already crowded building more crowded, said Callie

Anderson, Creston’s pre-K through second-grade principal. Anderson said the original plans for Creston’s Elementary/Middle School, which was finished in 2005, de- Anderson signed it to hold grades 2-8, and this year, the building is “busting at the seams.”

in this building more appropriate to be lab settings, and those are being used as classrooms right now,” Anderson said. “We’ve turned all of our meeting rooms into classrooms. Our instructional coaches almost lost their offices this year because we needed the space.”

Monday night, Creston’s

School Board discussed the feasibility of this move, which would involve transitioning five first-grade classrooms from their current location into the Early Childhood Center (ECC) by fall 2016. Anderson would then become a full-time principal at the building, with Scott Driskell, Cres-

ton’s third- through fifthgrade principal, picking up the second grade.

Anderson said this move makes sense because kindergarteners and first-graders have many similar academic and social needs.

“At that age, they are really just learning who they are and how to function through school and through life,” Anderson said. “That’s just a real fundamental stage for those kiddos, and here (at the Elementary/Middle School) we have them with

14-year-olds.”

Creston woman ‘celebrates’ Republicans publication of third book clash over refugees as 2016 looms

By BAILEY POOLMAN CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

“Every day is a gift that we have been given, and that’s something to celebrate!”

That first line in the introduction to the book “Celebrate Life!” encompasses what Dee Travis wants to say to the world.

Travis, 59, of Creston wrote the book “Celebrate Life!” as a way to encourage others to celebrate the little things in life.

“We’re just so busy anymore. I know people are so busy, and it’s probably always been that way,” Travis said. “But, we just live in such a fast-paced world that I don’t think we take time for others like we used to.”

Celebrate Life!

“Celebrate Life!” is the third book by Travis, and it has been 11 years in the making.

Travis and her friend Lynne Reeves collaborated on two books before this, in 1997 and 2004 respectively: “Leave the Details to Us” and “Let’s Plan a Party!” Travis, who didn’t know how to type, gathered the information, wrote the prose and put it in the order

While some conservatives cite security concerns, others in the party fear the GOP’s position in Congress and state capitals across the nation reeks of xenophobia.

she wanted, while Reeves formatted and typed it all.

“I had started writing this third book, and Lynne got sick with cancer. She kept telling me that, ‘As soon as I get better, we’ll work on the third book.’ Well, that didn’t happen,” Travis said.

Reeves, who lived in Creston, passed away in 2009, and Travis put the text away until 2014.

“I just kept thinking, maybe God will just send somebody else to type. So, I kind of waited and thought, ‘Maybe it’ll work out,’ and it

just never did,” Travis said.

“Finally, I just decided I’m going to do it. So, one winter, I started trying to type, and it took me forever, but I got it done finally.”

In January 2015, Ambassador International, a Christian publishing company based in Greeville, South Carolina, and Belfast, Ireland, picked up the book and published it.

“There’s four different sections: celebrating life with your mate, your children, your church family and with your friends,” Tra-

vis said. “Every day is a gift from God. ... God’s been good to us, so we want to be good to others and share that.”

Travis received support from her husband, Bruce, and their children Jamie Travis, Clint Travis, Adam Travis and Mallory Lents and their families. She stockpiled recipes from her daughter and daughters-inlaw to use for the book.

ATLANTA (AP) — Some Republicans are pushing back against aggressive opposition in their party to Syrian refugees resettling in the U.S., in fresh evidence of a rift within the GOP that threatens to complicate the party’s outreach to minorities heading into the 2016 presidential contest.

These Republicans have joined Democrats who liken the refugee backlash to the U.S. government turning away Jews fleeing Nazi Germany and placing Japa-

nese in internment camps during World War II. While conservatives cite security concerns following the Paris attacks that may have involved Syrian refugees, others in the party fear the GOP’s position in Congress and state capitals across the country reeks of xenophobia.

“A refugee is someone who has a credible fear that they’re going to be killed,” said Alfonso Aguilar, a Republican who served in the George W. Bush administration and now leads the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles. “To close the door reminds me of FDR not letting Jews land in the U.S. during the years of Nazi Germany.

Where are they going to go?”

Aguilar said moderate voters who hold outsized influence in general elections could view Republican opposition as extreme REFUGEES | 2A

it without Lynne,” Travis said. “I just think we need to do more celebrating. Life’s too short.”

The book was sent off to be edited in January and was finally published Nov. 5.

“I loved it. I love the cover.

I got to help pick it out,” Travis said.

“I wanted it to be about celebrating, but I didn’t just want food on Travis there because I wanted it to be about people. This one really fit, and it looks like me.”

Travis said one of her favorite sections in the book is called “Candlelight for Two,” which focuses on the couple and the number two.

“I love to entertain. I love to have people over, and, I don’t know, it comes kind of easy for me,” Travis said. “I just want to encourage others.”

Writing Travis began writing in 1995, when Reeves encouraged her to gather notes and recipes after they held “grandma parties,” gatherings at church for widows and single older women.

“I was kind of the head of that, and we did that seasonally, or when they would be lonely. My good friend Lynne said, ‘Dee, you’ve got to write these (recipes) down.’ And, I was like, ‘I can’t write.’ And, she was like, ‘No, really. Just do it for you and your children some-

and intolerant. He warned that could haunt the GOP in next fall’s general election. But Republicans pressing for a pause in the refugeeinflux see a need to be mindful, too, about fears of an attack on U.S. soil days after the deadliest assault in France in 70 years.

A number of GOP presidential candidates, governors and Senate Republicans have issued calls to delay or stop accepting Syrianrefugees, pointing to indications that one of the perpetrators in Friday’s attacks might have entered France with a Syrian passport. Legislation introduced by Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a GOP presidential candidate, could allow Republicans to block President Barack Obama’s goal of bringing 10,000 more Syrian refugees to King the U.S. during the current budget year.

“Filling your country up with people who have a completely different belief system ... and expecting they won’t rise up against their benefactor is foolish,” Rep. Steve King of Iowa, a leading immigration hardliner, said in an interview Tuesday. He added

That was the beginning of the collaboration, and two years later the book “Leave the Details to Us” was published. It contains seasonal fellowships for different types of gatherings.

“She (Reeves) did the same on the second book. I wrote it and she typed it and put it all together,” Travis said. “And then, a publishing company out of Illinois took the rights and they published it.”

The second book, “Let’s Plan a Party!” contains recipes, devotionals, games and other ideas for different occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries.

All three of Travis’ books will be available for purchase during a Nov. 21 book signing she will host at Adams Street Espresso. The signing is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and door prizes will be given out.

If unable to attend, “Celebrate Life!” is available in paperback and e-book format at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Christian Book Distributors online, Java J’s, Adams Street Espresso and the Bookwyrm in Creston, and Harvest Creek in Winterset. “Let’s Plan a Party!” is also available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble online. that norefugees should be permitted into the U.S. from Syria “unless they be Christian refugees that are facing genocide.”

That’s exactly the kind of message Republican leaders hoped to avoid after a disastrous 2012 election in which minority voters shunned GOP candidates in near record numbers.

While there are few Muslim voters in America, the pointed Republican resistance against Muslim refugees comes as party leaders try to win over other minority groups.

The Republican National Committee outlined a series of recommendations after the last presidential contest calling for a more welcoming and inclusive tone on divisive issues such as immigration.

“The perception that the GOP does not care about people is doing great harm to the party and its candidates on the federal level, especially in presidential years,” the RNC’s Growth and Opportunity report found. “It is a major deficiency that must be addressed.”

One of the report’s authors, RNC committeeman Henry Barbour, said Tuesday that it’s “common sense to tap the brakes” on Syrian refugees given security concerns, but “people need to be careful with their tone.”

“This is about safety,” Barbour said. “This isn’t about keeping out this religion or that religion.”

The cons, McDermott said, mainly include the hassle and potential costs associated the move itself.

“Negatives are pretty much the pain of moving and reshuffling and moving some folks from one spot to another,” McDermott said. “Other than that, I can’t forsee major drawbacks.”

The list also includes several considerations, which deal mainly with space and scheduling. A major issue will include

Piloted in July 2014, TLC provides academic services to help close students’ skill deficiency gaps and empower their approach to learning.

Cargill has donated $4,500 to The Learning Center (TLC) of Southwest Iowa. TLC is a nonprofit organization with the mission of providing children who learn differently the individualized, evidence-based tutoring intervention and support they need to achieve academic success.

TLC, piloted in July 2014, provides academic assessment, research-based language and math supplemental intervention and support services to help close man Fergus Cullen said there is “a little bit of ugliness” around the refugee debate.

“A specific group of refugees is being treated differently because of their country of natural origin and faith,” he said. “This is inconsistent with America’s history and our founding creed. That is alarming.”

It’s not exactly like rounding up Japanese Americans into internment camps during World War II, Culllen continued, “but it’s the same line of thinking” that feeds “immigrant bashing.”

The U.S. has admitted fewer than 2,200 Syrian refugees since Oct. 1, 2011 and the process for entering this country as a refugeeis lengthy. Obama administration officials insist the vetting is good and there is no need to back down from the goal of admitting 10,000 more refugees this Obama year.

The administration announced that goal earlier in the fall after a photograph of a little Syrian boy washed up on a beach sparked calls for compassion, including from some congressional

current Creston member Judy Woods when the consolidation takes effect July.

The same goes for all decisions affecting the 2016-17 year, including next fiscal year’s budget and contract negotiations.

The combined board plans to holds its first meeting 6 p.m. Dec. 21, before the regularly scheduled Creston board meeting.

In other Creston Schools news: • During open forum, Jim Bryant of Creston thanked the board for supplying handrails at the football stadium. He then presented a check for $4,000 for future railing projects.

• Board Secretary Billie Jo Greene shared open enrollment numbers for the 2015-2016 school year.

Ninety-four students have open-enrolled into the district, with the most students

open-enrolling from Orient-Macksburg (30) and East Union (27). Eleven students are tuitioned in, six of them from Prescott.

Fifty-seven students are open-enrolled out of the district, with the most students open-enrolling to East Union (31). Two students are tuitioned out of the district.

• The board unanimously approved the purchase of a Bluebird 84-passenger bus for a bid of $117,177 and a 2016 Chevy Impala from Stalker’s Chevrolet for a bid of $17,705, which included the trade-in of the school’s 2003 Ford Taurus. McDermott said the school has also budgeted for another bus, likely of the same model, for next school year. That decision will also fall on the combined Creston-Prescott board.

McDermott said the board will need to have a decision on the first-grade move by February at the latest to allow for time to make the necessary upgrades and preparations.

Board member Brad James requested the school compile financial estimates for the move to help it make a more informed decision.

students’ skill deficiency gaps and empower students to adopt an “I Can Do It” approach to learning. TLC uses research-based curriculum from Chris Woodin.

Woodin is a specialist in the field of mathematics and learning disabilities, who has published curriculums and journal articles.

TLC aligns closely with the Cargill Foundation’s commitment to funding nonprofit/non-governmental organizations programs that aim to help close the achievement gap and improve early childhood education in locations where Cargill operates.

TLC’s desire is to make educational services available beyond the school for those with learning differences. TLC’s programs will raise the educational standards of southwest Iowa by aiding students Republicans. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a GOP candidate for president, was one of those who supported accepting more Syrian refugees. This week, he called for a “timeout” in such admissions.

Many GOP candidates, already skeptical if not hostile to welcoming refugees, came out even stronger in recent days. Donald Trump said the U.S. should increase surveillance of mosques, consider closing any tied to radicals and be prepared to suspend some civil Carson liberties.

Ben Carson said, “Until we can sort out the bad guys, we must not be foolish.” Regarding Syrians already in the U.S., he added: “I would watch them very carefully.”

Tea party leader Mark Meckler said there should be no room for debate.

“Anybody who takes a soft stance on this is out of touch with the electorate and out of touch with the common sense,” he said, condemning those Republicans calling for tolerance.

“I think that’s absurd and shows why people from that wing of the party are now the fringe.”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, November 18, 2015

Creston Community Schools update It’s hard to believe November is here and the holidays are nearly upon us. As always, many learning activities are progressing here in our schools, and as you’ll read later in this article, upgrades continue to be made on our facilities as well. Below is a range of updates on various school happenings.

In the very near future, the new, combined Board of Education for the merged Prescott and Creston Schools (Creston Community School District) will start meeting and planning for the 2016-17 school year. Such items as budget planning, staffing decisions, etc. will begin to be processed. The initial members of the new district’s Board of Education will be Sharon Snodgrass, Galen Zumbach, Tom Eagan, Dr. Brad James and Don Gee. Our new technology rooms are open and operating well. Students and faculty members have “gotten their feet wet” and are now attempting to fit the many new tech applications into lessons. A simple “recipe” we learned from Dr. Buddy Berry from Eminence, Kentucky, is to mix required content with a dose of technology and

From the desk of Steve McDermott Creston Superintendent

season it with the individual student’s personal interests. A nice challenge has been created as well.

We now have several scheduling conflicts because so many teachers and classes want time in the new rooms. This demand is a good sign.

We have also begun to learn about and utilize a couple models to guide our use of new tech learning tools. SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition) is a model designed to help educators infuse technology into teaching and learning.

Popularized by Dr. Ruben Puentedura, the model supports and enables teachers to design, develop and infuse digital learning experiences that utilize technology. The TIM (Technology Integration Matrix) model is very similar and goes into more specific depth related to learning activities and their alignment with Bloom’s Taxonomy of higher order thinking skills.

Consideration continues regarding a potential move of our first grade classes to the Early Childhood Center at Burton R. Jones Education Center (ECC) next year. At this time we are gathering pros, cons and other considerations in hopes of a Board of Education decision before school is dismissed in the spring. I have been told that a plan several years ago included this move, but for various reasons it never transpired. At this time we believe there are enough possible benefits to deserve consideration of this change. First grade and kindergarten students have very similar learning needs. Improved collaboration among a larger set of teachers at the ECC is another possible benefit. This move would also warrant the assignment of a full-time principal at the ECC, as opposed to the current position shared between buildings. Much needed space at the Elementary/ Middle School could be gained as well.

As with any change, there are potential challenges as well. Challenges with scheduling, reshuffling classrooms and playground needs

are all on the list along with other various concerns. All pros and cons will be carefully considered by the board before a decision is made.

I am happy to report that our bus barn is up and running. This will be the first winter since 2012 that our school vehicles will be sheltered and will be maintained in an indoor shop. Radiant heat installed in the floor will heat the entire facility, so engine blocks on the buses and school cars will remain warm. Bus engine block heaters will no longer need to be plugged in, and buses will not be started and warmed up so early every morning. Also, our shop includes a lift that safely raises buses to a height that allows us to walk underneath. Therefore, our transportation staff members are now able to clearly see and reach whatever needs attention. In addition, the new wash bay will allow our crew to keep our vehicles clean and free from the chemical, salt, brine, ice and general sludge that accumulates during the winter. All these features will vastly improve the longevity and appearance of our school rigs.

As you may recall, last year we

had some controversy over record boards that were placed in the athletic hallway at Creston High School. Only one sport was represented at that time, so some friction was created. At this point, records from other extracurricular activities have been gathered and mockups have been developed. Boards for other activities will be installed soon. Some of the original boards will also be downsized to allow space for the new boards. Originally this was a great idea in terms of recognizing student achievements.

Adjustments are now being made to build on that concept and to recognize student accomplishments in many other activities. We hope this recognition gives our younger Panthers targets to aspire to.

A few other items of interest: Lockers in the boys locker room at CHS will be repaired and refurbished over Thanksgiving break.

Handrails have been installed in the stadium bleachers on the south aisle. We hope to install rails on the north aisle and in the visitor bleachers in the future once funds are available.

Panther pride marches on!

Letter to the editor

‘Seussical’ was one of the best From Judy Woods Creston

Sunday I had a wonderful experience watching the delightfully wacky musical that the Creston vocal department produced. Kudos to the directors, Jane Warner and Jerry Huffman! The cast was amazing and so talented. The set was delightful, as were the costumes.

Creston is so fortunate to have such talented music teachers: both vocal and instrumental. Many thanks to the orchestra (volunteers from the community), and to the parents who lend a hand and encourage their children to share their talent with our community.

I was a theatre major and have directed and seen many musicals.

This one was one of the best!

Charlie Sheen’s reported HIVpositive status sent panic waves HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Charlie Sheen’s reported HIV-positive status sent panic waves through the actress community due to his city-wide promiscuity. Last year he told a reporter he once went six years without sex, drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes, but that life was boring. Life got better once he started school, though.

The National Enquirer in an exclusive story Friday said Charlie Sheen, whose life-long motto was Winning, has tested positive for HIV and he’s now taking medication for the disease. Charlie just appeared on the Today Show and his attitude as always is optimistic.

His new motto is Thinning.

2014

America’s race to unite I have witnessed many accounts of the Civil War through film and history books, but I have never truly learned just who were the “Better Angels” of the time.

Looking back into the past at my family tree, there were many “Lees,” many from the great state of Virginia who through time moved north to New York, then to Canada and eventually to the great state of Iowa. These were Lees that never thought of the Confederacy.

We were, after all, a united people of a new country seeking to be free of England and the wrongfulness of its tyranny.

The Revolutionary War and the writing of the Constitution made us free and united under one belief as one nation under God with liberty and justice for ALL. If this was true, then what was the reason for the Civil War. Was it because some brave, but misguided souls, thought they could do better as a country of their own and thus call themselves “The Confederate States of America?” Maybe it was because some of the people included in the ALL were people of color called slaves by most and obviously, incorrectly so.

History has shown that a large number of lowans served in the Union Army where many died either in combat or in prisoner camps, some from disease or some from injuries suffered during combat. Some even years later, as was my great-great-grandfather Hiram Embree who was wounded in the leg by a ball fired by a rebel. It sent him home as he lost that portion of this leg, and little by little, he lost more and more until the infection took its toll and took his life.

I sit and listen to what’s going on in this country today and see where many have not stopped

Gary Page Guest columnist

fighting that war. Many have not united and would still rather stand for the flag of the confederacy than give up to the fact that, that war is over. When will the time come that we are first and foremost AMERICANS, not just Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians and so forth?

We have learned that freedom is not free. Someone must pay some way or another. So who ever wins a war? Did the South win? Did the North win? It appears to me that we Americans all lost since there will not be a winner until we once again come together like Gen. Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant did at Appomattox so many tears ago.

A writer by the name of Steven Pinker wrote a book on this subject called “The Better Angels of our Nation.” In his book, he says that violence is on the decline and we are at the best time ever for this nation. His book was published in 2011. Well, as we have seen, we are not yet at peace with each other as most of the news today speaks of nothing but unrest and violence, and unrest over nothing more than a flag. Not the “Stars and Stripes” of the United States, but the “Stars and Bars” of the Confederate States. What is there about a flag that brings about such unrest?

Some say it represents the bravery of the men for a cause, but most do not even know what that cause was. Were these men the “Better Angels?” Or were the better angels those who fought and died

during the First and Second World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq? I believe all could be the angels as they gave much for a cause they believed to be just and right. Believing something to be just and right however, does not make it so.

Pinker’s book is instructive to some degree and somewhat entertaining, but is not really grounded in many facts that do not support his thesis. We have yet to reach that time in which we can truly say the world is at peace. Many more world leaders will stir up trouble requiring other leaders to stem the tides of war.

We are only a few months away from another Election Day to vote for a new president and vice president as well as new cabinet members. Will this be the time for us to come together as a nation of Americans or will we continue to fight over such trivial things as a flag of some form or another, or an idea that some individual running for office thinks he or she has the best idea? I think that our ancestors, back when the constitution was formed, had no idea that we would, after all these years, still be individualists with no idea as to what it really means to be a free American with various skin colors, needs, ideas, hopes and dreams.

I have studied the information about what a Republican or Democrat really is, and I don’t truly see that in any of the people running for office today. It appears they only want what they believe in to be the rule of law and not what the constitution says is the rule of law. We the people united together do in fact form the more perfect union, and together, we can unite this country under what the “Better Angels” are all about.

CHI Health Mercy Corning receives $400,000 grant for cutting edge diagnostic CORNING — Patients at CHI Health Mercy Corning will soon benefit from access to the latest computed tomography (CT) diagnostic technology made possible through a grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust’s Rural Healthcare Program.

The trust has awarded CHI Health Mercy Corning $400,000 for a new 64-slice CT scanner. CT scanners provide essential diagnostic images of structures inside the body. A new CT scanner will allow for faster scans that produce high-quality images, allowing medical

staff to quickly determine health status and course of treatment while giving patients access to up-to-date healthcare technology close to home.

“We are extremely grateful to The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust for their philanthropic support of health care in our communities,” said Deb Goldsmith, president of CHI Health Mercy Corning. “As a regional, rural critical access hospital, keeping up with technology can be difficult. This grant allows us to provide the quality of care our patients

expect, in a setting close to home.”

CHI Health Mercy Corning is one of 37 grant recipients across the region to benefit from funding to purchase CT scanners. The Rural Healthcare Program of the Helmsley Charitable Trust is granting nearly $14 million over the next six months to support the purchase of new 32-slice or higher CT scanners at Critical Access Hospitals in a seven-state region.

“Our goal is to ensure that people who live in rural America have access to quality healthcare as close to

home as possible,” said Walter Panzirer, trustee of the Helmsley Charitable Trust.

“To achieve this, rural hospitals need to be viable, and they need to have up-to-date equipment so patients can receive essential healthcare services locally. This initiative is one of many that aims to improve healthcare access and health outcomes across the upper Midwest.”

The funding initiative was the result of a survey of critical access hospitals in the Rural Healthcare Program’s seven-state funding region.

Capital equipment, particularly CT scanners, was iden-

tified as a top need by many hospitals. In addition, a new Medicare policy will go into effect Jan. 1 that may reduce reimbursement for certain studies on CT scanners that do not meet specific radiation dose requirements.

The mission of the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust is to improve lives by supporting effective nonprofits in health, place-based initiatives, and education and human services. Since 2008, when the Trust began its active grantmaking, it has committed more than $1.4 billion for a wide range of charitable

4-H SPIN event a success Union County 4-H’ers tried their hands at knitting scarves with the knitting club in Creston last Monday. Partnering up with the knitting club to teach 4-H’ers how to knit is part of a monthly program called SPIN, which stands for SPecial INterest.

“Each month I have a different event, tour or workshop set up for 4-H’ers to attend. The idea is for 4-H’ers to try something different to spark their interest in something new,” said Haley Jones, Union County youth and outreach coordinator.

Twenty 4-H’ers attended the event, in which members of the knitting club taught the 4-H’ers how to knit. They walked out of the event with a pair of knitting needles and enough yarn to knit a scarf.

“The knitting ladies are helpful, and knitting is easy if you know how to do it,” said Hailee Sinclair, a sec-

ond-year 4-H’er and member of the Highland Highlights. “But I don’t know how, so it was kind of hard.”

Sinclair said she plans on finishing the scarf to give to her grandma or take to the county fair as a 4-H project.

Of the 20 4-H’ers present, many of them were firstyear 4-H members. The rest ranged from fifth through 12th-grader. Members of the knitting club present at the event included Julie Chaney, Reffa Mayne, Donna Miller, Elgene Walton and Phyllis Allen.

Last month’s SPIN event included a tour of KSIB Radio and a chance for the 4-H’ers to do PSAs on the radio for National 4-H Week.

In December, 4-H’ers will have the opportunity to tour Hy-Vee and participate in a cooking demonstration put on by the Hy-Vee dietitian.

purposes. The Trust’s Rural Healthcare Program funds projects that use information technologies to connect rural patients to emergency medical care, bring the latest medical therapies to patients in remote areas, and provide training for rural hospitals and EMS personnel. To date, this program has awarded more than $267 million to organizations and initiatives in the upper Midwest states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Minnesota, Iowa and Montana.

FarmHer display features women in agriculture GREENFIELD — Women have always played an important but mostly unseen role of agriculture.

In recent Guyler-Alaniz y e a r s , w o m en have been rising to the forefront of agriculture in so many ways; as owners and operators, landowners, workers, mentors and much more.

FarmHer was founded in 2013 to begin to change the image of agriculture — to include women in that image

FAX

through photographs and stories. Today, FarmHer has grown into not just a gallery of images that are changing the way people perceive a farmer, but also into an online community built just for women in agriculture. This community is a place where women can experience stories about others like them, connect with and learn from others in a safe and positive environment, and rise to the forefront of agriculture.

A collection of photos portraying women in farming and ranching is now on display at the Warren Cultural Center, 154 Public Square, in Greenfield. The exhibit is free of charge and open from

9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, now through the end of November.

A meet-and-greet reception will be held from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday with FarmHer founder and president Marji Guyler-Alaniz at the Cultural Center.

At the same time, Ed & Eva’s store will be holding an artist showcase, where several of the Iowa artists featured in the store will be on hand to display and sell their unique works. The showcase runs until 3 p.m.

For more information, call Ed & Eva’s at 641-743-2566.

Horoscope Thursday, Nov. 19, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Relations with people from other cultures, or anything to do with higher education, might be strained today.

Knowing this, don’t expect too much from others. Take it easy.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) If discussing how to share something today, you might come out with the short end of the stick. People are reluctant to part with their money and possessions today.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is not a good day to deal with parents and bosses, because their response to any request will be, “Talk to the hand.” People are uptight today.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Unfortunately, people are judgmental or depressed today, which is why it’s hard to get others to help you at work. Just cope as best you can.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Children might be an increased burden or responsibility today.

In addition, costs related to children or any social event are more than you can afford.

Ouch.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Family discussions, especially with a male authority figure, will be serious and a bit depressing. Don’t ask for anything unless you absolutely need it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) It’s easy to fall into worry mode today. But basically, worry is a habit. Most of the things we worry about never happen.

You know this; I know this.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You feel like you don’t have enough money today for social events, fun times, vacations or expenses related to kids. Join the club, we number in the millions. It is what it is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Family discussions might be depressing today, which is why you should avoid them if you can. People are too busy telling you why you cannot do something instead of why you can. (Negative thinking!)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The old saying about worry is true: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but gets you nowhere.”

Consider this today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) Life is hard today, especially in terms of having enough money to do what you want to do. It’s just not there. But everything is relative; so many people in the world have nothing.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might feel that people are not friendly today; in fact, they are uptight. In addition, they are close-fisted with money.

Oh dear.

YOU BORN TODAY You are convincing, and you have natural leadership qualities.

You also are a revolutionary at heart. If given power, you know how to handle it. This year your success lies with others, because people will benefit you. Therefore, make friends and join clubs and organizations. Help others, because you will be helping yourself.

Still fifth NEW YORK — The Iowa football team stayed at No. 5 in the latest college football playoff committee rankings, released on Tuesday evening.

The top five remained the same with Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State and Notre Dame holding the four playoff spots. Oklahoma State and Oklahoma are ranked sixth and seventh.

Manager of year CHICAGO — Joe Maddon has been named the National League Manager of the Year.

The announcement, made on Tuesday by the Baseball Writers Association of America, marks the Chicago Cubs manager’s third win. He previously won under the Tampa Bay Rays in 2008 and 2011.

The 61-year-old helped lead the Cubs to a 97-65 record since joining this year.

Morning win CEDAR FALLS — Matt Bohannon and Paul Jesperson scored 15 points each and Jeremy Morgan and Wes Washpun added 14 apiece leading Northern Iowa to a 70-60 win over Stephen F. Austin on Tuesday morning.

The Panthers (1-1) led the entire game, increasing a 40-26 edge at halftime to 19 on a triple by Bohannon early in the second half. The Lumberjacks (0-2) pulled within 58-50 with 4 minutes left, but would get no closer.

Thomas Walkup led Stephen F. Austin with 30 points on 12 for 20 shooting. He added eight rebounds and three assists.

Northern Iowa survived 17 turnovers in beating the Lumberjacks for the second straight year during ESPN’s 24-hour tipoff marathon in a game that began at 7 a.m.

Rape claim LINCOLN — Nebraska football coach Mike Riley said Tuesday it’s too early to tell how an alleged sexual assault that reportedly occurred at the home of two Husker football players might affect their eligibility for next week’s pivotal game against Iowa.

Riley, speaking to reporters after practice Tuesday, said any action against the players involved will wait until the University of Nebraska-Lincoln administration, the university’s Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance and law enforcement weigh in.

Riley said he had talked to the three players involved — quarterback Tommy Armstrong, receiver Jordan Westerkamp and tight end Trey Foster — but had not delved into the details of the alleged incident.

“I’m like all of you — I’m interested in where we’re going and what’s going to be found,” the Husker coach told a throng of reporters.

Bochart trades drum sticks for director’s chair Creston graduate works on Bearcat football webcasts

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

MARYVILLE, Mo. — “OK four, you can start off with the soloist. Ready two.

Take two. OK one, can you give me a shot of the color guard from your side of the field? Three, you can stick with the drumline. Ready one, now ready four. Take four. Good follow, four.

One and two can you give me something, please? OK ready three. Take three.

OK, back up on the front sideline. OK two, we’re going to stick with you on the drum feature. Then back up the sideline.”

That’s the kind of oneway conversation you hear from Adam Bochart at halftime of Northwest Missouri State University football games.

Bochart, a junior from Creston and son of Jay and Brenda Bochart, is director of Internet livestream for Northwest Missouri State and the NCAA at Bearcat home games.

During the game action, he works under the direction of Will Murphy, television engineer at Northwest and a member of the NWMS faculty. Bochart, majoring in broadcast production with an emphasis in video, directs what viewers of the webcast see online.

Murphy directs others in the booth who are responsible for what appears on the stadium video board in terms of game action, replays and graphics.

“I’m on my own in con-

trolling what goes out to the Internet broadcast,” Bochart said. “We have four cameras and a variety of graphics we can use at any time.”

Halftime is hardly a 20-minute rest period for Bochart, however. That’s when he replaces Murphy in the director’s role, communicating with all four camera operators to present the webcast and video board presentation of the halftime show.

Band insights

For two years, Bochart was a drummer in the Bearcat Marching Band.

And, he still works as an instructor for the drumline. In fact, five days ago Bochart received the Bearcat Marching Band

Alfred E. Sergel, III Outstanding Dedication to Band Award. So, he’s well-versed in directing its shows.

“Since I work with the marching band on a regular basis, it’s easy for me to know what parts of the show need to be highlighted,” Bochart said. “Will said I know the show better than anybody else, so I took that on. As soon as halftime is over, I go back and take over the (game) stream.”

Bochart communicates with the four camera operators with a nonstop stream of directions and prompts for upcoming shots.

“We’re constantly on the fly,” Bochart said. “It’s dif-

ferent than the game itself, where you kind of get into a rhythm. There is replay on the camera angles you can pull at any time.”

When Niles Media of Kansas City produced a television broadcast of the Emporia State game that aired on 80 stations in several states, Bochart’s role changed.

“Since it was televised, it basically put me out of a job,” he said, “since we took their feed for the web stream. But they offered me a spot as a utility member of their crew, so I was an assistant for the roaming camera on the sideline.”

Hawkeyes fueled by old Spartan women earn first victory school mentality

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

IOWA CITY (AP) — Minnesota knew exactly what Iowa wanted to do and the Gophers couldn’t stop it.

The Hawkeyes had the ball, a five-point lead and nearly six minutes to burn last Saturday. They ran the ball eight times, a stretch capped with a 51yard touchdown run by LeShun Daniels Jr. that gave Iowa a 40-28 lead with 2:01 left.

Such an old-school mentality has led to the best start in history for the Hawkeyes (10-0, 6-0 Big Ten), who can clinch their first Big Ten West title with a win over Purdue (2-8, 1-5) this weekend.

“We take a lot of pride in being able to run the

ball when they expect it.

To be able to play physical like that and finish out the game...shows that we’re not going to lay down.

We’re going to come after you,” Daniels said.

Iowa has been remarkably balanced this year, rushing for 2,117 yards and throwing for 2,097 yards.

But it’s been the run game — highlighted by tremendous offensive line play — that has anchored the Hawkeyes attack.

Center Austin Blythe and guards Jordan Walsh and Sean Welsh have put Iowa in position to run the ball up the middle in every game. Tackle Boone Myers has overcome earlier struggles with injuries to ably protect the backside of quarterback C.J. Beathard, and unheralded junior Cole Croston has

been a revelation at left tackle.

“They’re all so football smart. They know the whole play, the whole scheme and what the defense can or will do,” said senior running back Jordan Canzeri, who expects to be have fully recovered from a sprained Canzeri a n k l e

by Saturday. “And then there’s just a lot of communication...and when they’re on the same page it’s easy. Because they’re all great athletes. They’re all tough guys.”

INDIANOLA — Southwestern’s women’s basketball team used a balanced team effort here Monday night to pick up the team’s first win of the season, 7158 over the Simpson College JV team.

The Spartans had good energy early, bolting to a 16-5 lead after one quarter of play and never looked back.

“I think we were just kind of being patient with our offense and our sets and letting our offense work for us. We weren’t rushing anything. Patient, looking for our reads and we were getting some good looks,” said assistant coach Leonard Erickson, who coached the team in head Erickson c o a c h Addae Houston’s absence, as he recovers from surgery.

“The most important thing we did was our defense was focused in and locked in from the start.

That was the biggest key.

The previous three games we hadn’t played well on defense. We communicated well on defense. We kept them to five points in the first quarter. I think that was the biggest reason we came out and played well.”

The Spartans were led by sophomore post player Olivia Reifert, who had a monster game, scoring 17 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the floor and grabbing 19 rebounds for a double-double. Nine of her 19

rebounds were offensive boards, which led to many of her 17 points.

Julanie Reifert Carter led three Spartans in double digits with 19 points, while sister Maleika Carter also recorded a double-double with 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting from the floor and M. Carter 10 assists.

Cambry Schluter came off the bench to score nine points on three made 3-pointers, while LaStella Slack added eight points and six rebounds.

As a team, Southwestern shot 46 percent from the floor and turned the ball over only 10 times, compared to dishing out 20 assists.

“That was crucial for our success. We went over with our girls at the start of the season what their roles were. A couple of them came in and did what they were supposed to do,” Erickson said. “Julanie Carter got us off to a good start and scored the first seven points. Cambry came off the bench and hit some threes. Olivia Reifert cleaned up the glass offensively and was able to score 17 points for us.”

The defensive effort and teamwork also played a large part in the victory.

BRIEFS | 10A

State associations adopt new ‘coaching box’ guideline Iowa’s prep basketball coaches will be allowed to stand by their benches this season, according to a news release Monday from the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union.

The state’s so-called “seat belt rule” has been replaced by the National Federation of State High School Associations’ rule, which designates a coaching box on sidelines where head coaches may stand and move around during games.

The move was made on recommendation from the basketball advisory committees for the IGHSAU and Iowa High School Athletic Association. It will be effective immediately for boys’ and girls’ teams in grades

7-12 upon approval from the IHSAA Board of Control and the Joint Committee.

The first technical foul charged directly or indirectly to the head coach results in loss of coaching box privileges and the head coach must remain seated for the remainder of the game, except as stated in NFHS Basketball Rules 10-5-1b, c, d, and e. The use of the coaching box is for the head coach only and may not be designated to assistant coaches.

NFHS Basketball Rule 1-13-2 states that the coaching box shall be outlined outside the side of the court on which the scorer’s and timer’s table and team benches are located. The area shall be bounded by

a line drawn 14 feet from the end line towards the division line. At this point, a line drawn from the sideline toward the team bench becomes the end of the coaching box going towards the end line. From this line go another 14 feet towards the division line, then a line drawn towards the bench becomes the end of the coaching box closest to the division line.

The coaching box is 14 feet long placed in the middle of the regulation 42 feet long half court. These lines shall be located off the court and be 2 inches wide.

The same directions should be followed for the other side of the scorer’s and timer’s table.

I would love to work on live sports for a living, or live TV work.”

IOWA: CONT. FROM | 7A

Iowa is the first team since 1997 (LSU) to have three different runners with at least 195 yards in a single game, according to STATS. Last weekend, Daniels was the latest Iowa back to reach that mark. The 225-pound Daniels, finally 100 percent after an ankle sprain in mid-September, rushed 26 times against the Gophers with Akrum Wadley out and Canzeri working his way back.

Daniels should have more help this weekend.

All four of Iowa’s backs,

include basketball, just as the undefeated Bearcat football team begins playoff action at home Nov. 28.

“We’re getting the gym wired with the same equipment as we have at the stadium now,” Bochart said. “We also purchased a new satellite truck, so we can stream to channel 8 in Maryville or directly to the web. The truck belongs to the School of Communication and Mass Media.”

Known as a standout drummer in Creston High School bands for director Mike Peters, the only down side of all of this professional experience is not being an active band member anymore.

“I do miss it,” Bochart said.

“It’s different. But I love being able to teach and hang out with the band. But none of it compares to being on the field on game day. However, I do CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON have a unique opportunity in my job to showcase them at During the football game action, Adam Bochart (right) directs the video feed to the university’s live webcast. Will halftime, as that extra eye in Murphy (left) is TV engineer for the production, communicating with four camera operators stationed throughout the stadium. the sky.” including third-down threat Derrick Mitchell, Jr., should be available for the first time since September.

“The one thing I can say about that whole group, that’s been most impressive to me, is just the way they’ve picked each other up. So if somebody goes down, the next guy grabs the rope and does a great job. We’re really pleased with all of them,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.

The line has had its injury issues as well. But Daniels credited offensive line coach and running game coordinator Brian Ferentz with making sure whoever is called upon to play is ful-

ly prepared to do so.

That preparation, combined with their tough and physical mindset, has helped the Hawkeyes beat everyone they’ve faced so far.

“It’s something that you can put your pride in. I respect that kind of play. To know that they know what you’re going to do, and it’s me against you and whoever comes out on top...I appreciate that,” Welsh said. ___ Follow Luke Meredith on Twitter at www.twitter. com/LukeMeredithAP and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/LukeMeredithAP

been preaching to them from the start is we have to communicate and defend together. It was a group effort for us.”

Getting the first win of the season was a big milestone for the Spartans, who had been close in each of the first three games before suffering a 30-point loss at Fort Scott Community College on Saturday.

“It was huge for us.

Kind of like a monkey off our back,” Erickson said.

FAX Big week for Buckeyes with big AP Sports Writer

No doubt this is a big week for No. 2 Ohio State.

The defending national champions are 10-0 with 23 straight wins and staring at perhaps their toughest test when they host No. 9 Michigan State on Saturday.

A win over the Spartans combined with a loss

by Michigan to Penn State would lock up the East division and send the Buckeyes to the Big Ten title game for the third straight year.

Coach Urban Meyer said it’s basically been business as usual for veterans this week, although they might be doing some extra video work on their own. But for young players, it’s a little

more intense.

“It’s two top teams in the country, a rivalry within itself,” Meyer said. “But for the guys that show up every day and go, I see it every week. They take care of business. But for the young guys, where this is all kind of new to them, yeah, I can see it ratcheted up a little bit.”

The Buckeyes (6-0 Big Ten, No. 3 CFP) might be catching Michigan State (91, 5-1) at a good time. Spartans quarterback Connor Cook is expected to play after sitting out the second half of Saturday’s win over Maryland with a shoulder injury. But if he’s limited, that could work in favor of the Buckeyes.

After all, he has thrown for more than 300 yards against them the past two

years, with Michigan State winning the 2013 conference championship game and the Buckeyes beating BIG TEN | 10A

the Spartans the following season in early November.

OUT WEST: Iowa (100, 6-0) also has a chance to lock up a spot in the Big Ten title game. The Hawkeyes can clinch at least a share of the West and a berth in the championship game with a win over Purdue or a victory by Northwestern over Wisconsin.

REMEMBERING BO: Tuesday marked the ninth anniversary of Bo Schembechler’s death. The coach was on the mind of Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh.

“Coach Schembechler’s a daily source of inspiration and remains that for me and all the people he coached or was associated with,” Harbaugh said. “Today’s a special day in remembering coach Schembechler.”

Schembechler was a seven-time Big Ten coach of the year, compiling a 19448-5 record at Michigan from 1969-89. He led the Wolverines to 13 Big Ten titles and two Rose Bowl victories.

Harbaugh played for Schembechler and returned to coach his alma mater this year after a four-year run with the San Francisco 49ers that included a Super Bowl appearance.

NO CHANGE: Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said quarterback Clayton Thorson will start at Wisconsin after being benched briefly during last week’s win over Purdue.

The Wildcats switched to Zack Oliver late in the third quarter against the Boiler-

of football eligibility, having had a redshirt year and medical redshirt during his first two Evans years in the program.

Their efforts helped lead the Mustangs to a 10-1 record during the regular season, including a perfect 9-0 mark in the GPAC en route to their fifth consecutive league championship.

Morningside will take a No. 1 NAIA national ranking into this Saturday’s NAIA Championship Series First Round Game against No. 16 Saint Xavier University slated for a 1 p.m. start at Elwood Olsen Stadium.

makers after the struggling Thorson threw an interception. But he came back early in the fourth after watching two possessions from the sideline to lead a touchdown drive that lifted Northwestern to a 21-14 victory.

Thorson was 9 of 19 for 82 yards against Purdue.

BOWL-BOUND?: At 5-5 heading into the final two games against Minnesota and Northwestern, Illinois is staring at the possibility of both a winning record and a bowl game.

Those are no small accomplishments considering the turmoil surrounding the program.

“I’m overexcited about the passion of our players,” interim coach Bill Cubit said. “They’ve had to go through a lot and I think it would be a heck of an accomplishment if we get one of these games or both those games and get them to a bowl game and really enjoy it. We’ve gone through a lot.”

Cubit took over after Tim Beckman was fired a week before the start of the season. An investigation found Beckman tried to influence medical decisions and pressure players to play with injuries.

There was more turmoil last week when the school let athletic director Mike Thomas go, saying a change was needed after football and women’s basketball players said they had been mistreated by their coaches. ___ AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org

Protective foot health steps for people with diabetes Healthy feet are essential for overall good health, no matter your age, fitness level or physical challenges. For people with diabetes, however, taking care of their feet is especially vital. More than 60 percent of all non-traumatic lower-limb amputations worldwide are related to complications from the disease, according to the American Diabetes Association.

A 2012 study by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) indicates Hispanics with diabetes are particularly in danger, because more than 90 percent of those with the disease or at risk for it have never seen a podiatrist as part of their health care.

“The leading cause of hospitalization among people with diabetes—regardless of ethnicity—is foot ulcers and infections, but most of those problems are largely preventable,” says Mindi Feilmeier, DPM, president of the Iowa Podiatric Medical Society and an APMA member. “It’s important

for those with the disease to ‘knock their socks off’ and receive regular foot exams by today’s podiatrists.”

While ulcers—open sores on the foot—are the most common diabetes-related foot problem, several others are also serious and prevalent, including neuropathy, skin changes, calluses, poor circulation and infection. The nerve damage that diabetes causes may mean a person with an ulcer or injury may be unaware of it until it becomes infected. Infection can lead to partial or full amputation of the foot or lower leg.

The good news is, regular care from a podiatrist can help reduce amputation rates between 45 and 85 percent, according to APMA. People with diabetes need to inspect their feet daily and be vigilant for warning signs of ulcers, including irritation, redness, cracked or dry skin (especially around the heels) or drainage on their socks.

“Although ulcers can occur anywhere on the foot or ankle, they are typically

found on pressure points on the foot, like the ball of the foot or bottom of the big toe,” adds Feilmeier.

“If you discover an ulcer or have any symptoms, see a podiatrist immediately. In many cases, the foot can be saved with early treatment.”

In addition to examining your feet every day and keeping your blood glucose in your target range, make sure to follow these foot health tips: • Discuss your diabetes and the risks with your family. Diabetes can be hereditary, so talk to your family members about monitoring blood sugar and foot health.

• Never go barefoot.

Always protect your feet with the proper footwear and make sure socks and shoes are comfortable and fit well.

• Trim toenails straight across, and never cut the cuticles. Seek immediate treatment for ingrown toenails, as they can lead to serious infection.

• Keep your feet elevated while sitting.

• Wiggle toes and move

your feet and ankles up and down for five-minute sessions throughout the day.

“Successfully managing diabetes is a team effort, and today’s podiatrist is an integral player on that team,” said Feilmeier.

The Iowa Podiatric Medical Society (IPMS) is the professional organization representing over 130 medical and surgical specialists of the foot and ankle located throughout the state of Iowa. Doctors of Podiatric Medicine are physicians and surgeons who provide comprehensive services ranging from routine foot care to sophisticated foot surgery.
