After a two-month hiatus, potato oles are about to be back on the menu.

Creston Taco John’s will be reopening its drive-thru Friday, with a grand reopening of the restaurant’s dining room to follow within the next few weeks.

The building, located at 708 S. Walnut St., is nearing the final stages of a major renovation project that began Sept. 14. Winterst-

ien Construction of Creston has been the general contractor for the Driskell project.

Melissa Driskell, Winterstien’s owner, said the building, which was originally constructed in the mid-1960s, will be basically all-new when it fully reopens.

“We put in a new ad-

dition on the front of the building and pretty much gutted the entire inside — basically took it down to about two existing walls,” Driskell said. “Now, we are building it back to be one of their new prototype stores.”

Driskell said the store’s front is now pushed out 12 more feet, which allows for a larger dining room and relocation of the front counter. Among the other upgrades are larger restrooms, a new hood over the fryers and added freezer, cooler and dry storage

space.

Bill Byrne, owner of Taco Johns of Iowa, which acquired the store a year ago, has said in a press release this new store will be “among the most technologically advanced Taco John’s restaurants in America.”

The drive-thru will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday.

Further hours are: Saturday: 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Sunday: 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Monday through Thursday: 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Brush with kindness: A new

handicap accessibility ramp, deck and back door were built for a family on North Sycamore Street in Creston. This is an example of Habitat for Humanity’s “A Brush With Kindness” program, through which families are helped to stay in their homes when it becomes difficult. The “A Brush With Kindness” program is able to help Union County residents with just about anything that doesn’t include roofs, foundations or lead-based paint.

Egg production improves but remains below last year DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa egg farms are gradually recovering from the bird flu that destroyed 25 million of the state’s egg-laying hens this spring. The U.S. Department of Agriculture

says in a report Monday that Iowa egg production during October was 753 million eggs. That’s up 2 percent from September but down 47 percent from a year ago.

Iowa, typically by far

the nation’s leading egg producer, fell behind Ohio where hens laid 18 million more eggs last month.

Nationally, nearly 7.8 billion eggs were produced in October. That’s down 9 percent from a

National gas price average projected to hit $1.99 GasBuddy projects fuel prices this Thanksgiving will be the lowest since March 2009.

■

Americans hitting the road for Thanksgiving will certainly have something to be extra thankful for – the cheapest gasoline prices since March 2009.

The low prices are showing up just in time for millions of motorists who are heading out and saving them $1.5 billion over the five days that GasBuddy’s recent survey found most motorists will be traveling.

GasBuddy projects that

by Thanksgiving Day the national average will be $1.99 per gallon, nearly 80 cents per gallon cheaper than last year and $1.29 per gallon cheaper than 2013.

As prices at the pump have plunged, the number of states seeing average prices under $2 per gallon has more than tripled in the last two weeks, rising to 19 states, with nearly 60 percent of all U.S. gas stations now selling below $2 per gallon. Lower gas prices could be a reason why more people will be spending more time on the

road this holiday weekend.

According to GasBuddy’s 2015 Thanksgiving travel survey, 25 percent of more than 100,000 travelers surveyed nationwide say their travel will begin on Thanksgiving Day; while nearly 30 percent say travel begins the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and another 23 percent say they’ll hit the road two to three days ahead.

That’s an 11 percent decrease in the number of people who say they’re heading out on Thanksgiving Day. In 2014, 36 percent said they’d travel on Thanksgiving Day; 30 percent said they’d travel the day before; and only 18 percent said they’d hit the road two to three days earlier.

“With gas prices plunging under $2 just in time for Thanksgiving Day, it’s a perfect reminder – some folks automatically expect gas prices to rise in advance of a major travel holiday,” said Patrick DeHaan, a senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy. “That’s become a popular misconception, and this holiday exemplifies the point. November gas prices have slid significantly lower and holiday travelers will certainly be the beneficiaries.

Branstad pardons 2 turkeys as part of Thanksgiving tradition DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad has pardoned two turkeys as part of an annual T h a n k s - Branstad giving tradition in Iowa.

Branstad issued the special proclamation Monday outside Terrace Hill in Des Moines for two turkeys named Zoey and Spike.

Branstad noted during brief remarks that the birds had survived bird flu this year. The disease killed more than 1.1 million turkeys in the state. Branstad says he’s encouraged by producers going back to work.

The Des Moines Register reports Branstad’s grandchildren were present during the pardon. They chased the birds through the snow.

DES MOINES — On Monday, Nov. 23, the Iowa Department of Public Safety (DPS), packaged full Thanksgiving meals that were donated to one family in need in each of Iowa’s 99 counties. The Iowa DPS recognizes that there are many families in need this holiday season and organized a collection within the department, raising over $5,000.

Fareway Stores, Inc., offered its assistance by gathering a full-sized turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, a five-pound bag of potatoes and a pie for each of the 99 families.

The remaining funds will be distributed to 15 food banks around Iowa.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, November 24, 2015

Saying no to refugees It seems like every few years a country or region bursts into flames, fueled by cruel despots, or civil war, or both. We’ve seen it time and time again: homeless, hungry and frightened people fleeing an intolerable situation that threatens their very lives.

It was the Jews fleeing Nazi Germany. It was the Asian refugees after the fall of South Vietnam, and the people of Bosnia, Serbia and Kosovo during their civil wars. Most tragic of all, it was the 800,000 people slaughtered in Rwanda when no one came to their rescue.

Today, it’s the Syrian people who are trying to escape murderous militants, constant war and total destitution. I can’t begin to imagine what it must feel like to be terrified and desperate to find a safe place. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to carry your chil-

In other words June Bower

dren on your back and run away from everything you’ve ever known, leaving behind loved ones and your home country.

I don’t know how the world is going to help all the millions trying to escape Syria. Some countries like Jordan are already overwhelmed with huge numbers living in tents inside their borders.

European countries are trying to take in as many as possible, but they too are overwhelmed. The United States was cautiously going to allow a few thousand of them into our own country, but there are still so many who will be trapped, unable to proceed and

unable to go back. And now, everything is really messed up with the terrorist attacks in Paris, and the fear and hostility that have developed as a result.

Our nation, to its shame, once turned its back on a group of Jewish refugees seeking to escape Nazis Germany before the war. They tried to come in through Cuba but were refused entry and forced to return to Germany where a third of them later died in concentration camps. But after Vietnam, there were refugees fleeing Cambodia and Laos and some were literally rescued by former Iowa Governor Robert Ray. He ignored complaints that foreigners would take jobs and created a safe haven for many of them here in Iowa. He is still admired today for his courage and compassion in welcoming the so-called boat people. I seriously doubt he would have refused to

accept children and their mothers from Central America a year ago, and I doubt he would turn away Syrian refugees today.

For those politicians who constantly tell us how religious they are, I wonder how they can reconcile their faith with their opposition to helping these Syrian refugees. I’m amazed at their intolerance of Muslims, some to the point they would allow only Christian refugees to come to America.

One presidential candidate would even require American Muslims to register. Do you suppose they would have to wear arm bands, too, or perhaps a tattooed number on their wrists?

I understand fear. The cruelty of these ISIS barbarians is truly terrifying, and I recognize the need to carefully screen those who wish a safe haven. I don’t underestimate the danger of terrorists trying to

infiltrate our country and I appreciate the extraordinary efforts of our Homeland Security personnel who are constantly monitoring threats. It’s why I’ve never objected to the strict measures the Patriot Act imposes on us, and have never been concerned if my telephone calls were being monitored.

I also believe radicals who travel to the Middle East to interact with terrorists should never be allowed to return. I am perfectly willing to give up some of my privileges if it makes us safer.

I am not willing, however, to give up my idea of what I thought we were as a nation. I still believe in the words on the Statue of Liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…..”

It’s losing these values that really terrifies me.

The Centers for Disease Control published a smoking survey HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Centers for Disease Control published a study Wednesday revealing that the numbers of sexually transmitted diseases reported in the U.S. are at an all-time high. It could be time for a new safe-sex campaign.

The latest statistics show that one out of every two and a half men is HIV positive.

The Coast Guard seized twenty-five tons of cocaine worth over two billion dollars off the coast of San Diego on Friday from a cargo ship that was headed for the Port of Los Angeles. One thing is obvious to everybody. Whenever God Gives Charlie Sheen a bad week, it lasts the entire seven days.

The Centers for Disease Control published a smoking survey Friday showing that the number of Americans who smoke cigarettes is down to just fourteen percent. That’s good news. A cigarette is just like a squirrel, it’s completely harmless unless you put one inside your mouth and set it on fire.

The U.S. Border Patrol caught Saudis trying to enter Arizona and

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Syrians trying to enter Texas Friday.

There are reports that radical Muslims were planning to go on a rampage in Los Angeles, killing anybody who is a U.S. citizen. Police fear that the death toll could be as high as nine, maybe ten.

USA Today reported more Mexicans left the U.S. than entered the U.S. for the first time in forty years.

The traffic is still heavy. The White House ordered a yellow line painted down the middle of all the border trails, so that the Mexicans walking south don’t crash into the Syrians walking north.

Donald Trump surged into a big lead over his GOP presidential rivals in the Reuters Poll after the Paris terrorist attacks by ISIS Friday. The terrorists are crazily unpredictable, bombastic and brazen and make a million dollars a day in revenue. Apparently we have decided to fight fire with fire.

Every year, Gallup asks people how much confidence they have in various institutions.

The results aren’t surprising.

Only 8 percent had “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in Congress. Big business scored 21 percent. That’s no better than TV news.

Small business, on the other hand, came in second with 67 percent of respondents considering it trustworthy. Only the U.S. military scored higher.

While politicians bicker with each other and Wall Street focuses on the 1 percent, Main Street remains the lifeblood of our economy and our communities.

According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, small businesses account for most of the jobs in this country, and small businesses create most of America’s net new jobs.

You probably don’t know the owner of a big department

store, but there’s a good chance you know a few small-business owners. They’re our friends and neighbors. They’re among the most generous supporters of civic groups, local charities, youth sports, schools and virtually every other form of community activity.

Small businesses do a lot to help our community, and, on Nov. 28, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we’ll have an opportunity to thank them.

That’s because Nov. 28 is Small Business Saturday, the Saturday after Black Friday.

Black Friday, of course, is when families to wake early, sit in traffic, compete with other drivers for decent parking spots, jostle with crowds and stand in line to buy things probably no one asked for or really wants.

Small Business Saturday is the opposite of that. Small Business Saturday is when you shop at small, locally-owned businesses for things you simply can’t find at the mall, and instead of dealing with temporary workers who don’t know the merchandise,

there’s a good chance you’ll be dealing directly with the owner who cares very much about making you happy so you’ll come back time and again throughout the year.

The campaign to “shop small” on the Saturday after Thanksgiving started in 2010 as an effort to give small businesses—many struggling to get out of the red after a long recession—a much needed shot in the arm.

Since then, it has become a powerful movement to give back to the brick-and-mortar establishments that line our Main Streets and keep our communities vibrant.

When you shop local and shop small, you’re supporting your community. When you shop at a chain store, most of the money goes back to some corporate office somewhere else, but when you shop on Main Street, most of that money stays here at home.

This year, make a difference in your community. Shop local on Small Business Saturday.

Adele has already sold 2.3 million copies of disc Stephens open house, 2.4 million for “No Strings Attached.”

“There isn’t anybody that I’ve talked to in the music business who hasn’t been astonished by these numbers,” said Dave Bakula, senior vice president for industry insights at Nielsen.

Adele’s previous album, 2011’s “21,” has sold 11.24 million copies in the United States; it’s likely many of the people who sought out the new one this weekend haven’t bought an album since.

Adele also did not allow streaming services like Spotify to make “25” available, so people were anxious to hear it had to buy it.

She performed the first single “Hello” on “Saturday Night Live” this past weekend. That track alone has

sold 2.5 million copies in the four weeks it has been on the market.

The initial sales are a boost for an industry that has drastically changed over the past decade. In contrast to the four albums that have topped one million in sales this year, there were 88 such discs in 2000, the year ‘N Sync had its big opening, Nielsen said (Sales records date to 1991, when then-SoundScan started keeping track of firstweek sales).

Adele is also leaving Swift in the dust. Her “1989” sold 1.3 million its first week on sale last year, the fastest seller in some time, and Bakula said Adele’s disc is likely to finish the week with more than twice that number sold.

NEW YORK (AP) — Adele’s new album “25” has sold more than 2.3 million copies in the United States alone during its first three days on the market, a stunning number for a music industry that has seen sales steadily fall in the digital era.

To put that into perspective, only Taylor Swift’s “1989,” (released late last year) Drake’s “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” (released in April) and Ed Sheeran’s “x’’ (in June 2014) have sold as much as one million copies all year so far.

Adele’s disc went on sale Friday.

Nielsen Music said Monday that Adele will almost certainly break the oneweek record for album sales, set by ‘NSYNC in 2000 with

Panther run lifts Creston past Raiderettes Panthers top Lenox in Pride Scrimmage

By SCOTT VICKER

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports editor svicker@ crestonnews.com

The Creston girls basketball team exploded in the second quarter here Monday, opening the season with a 5440 win over Mount Ayr. After playing through a sloppy first quarter that saw the Panthers trail the Raiderettes 7-6, Creston used a 12-0 run to pull away from Mount Ayr. After sophomore Caylie Hickman hit a 3-pointer to draw Mount Ayr within 1312, Taylor Briley sparked the Panther run with a 3-pointer from the wing.

Jenna Taylor followed with a 3-pointer of her own and then Briley got a steal that led to a layup. Coming out of a Mount Ayr time out, Cammy Rutherford got a basket in the post and Taylor hit two free throws.

Macy Larsen finally ended the Panther run with a basket off a feed from Megan Warin, but Briley hit another 3-pointer to give Creston a 28-14 advantage. Sara Winemiller ended the half with two free throws to cut the gap to 28-16.

“We didn’t take care of the ball and I think we really had those first game jitters to begin with,” Creston head coach Brent Douma said. “Made six turnovers and missed some shots. But good thing is we played good enough defense to only give up seven points and then could get a lead there in the second quarter.”

“We went through a stretch

Creston senior post player Jenna Taylor turns around for a shot over the top of Mount Ayr sophomore Sara Winemiller during Creston’s 54-40 season-opening win over the Raiderettes Monday. Taylor scored 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead the Panthers.

there in the second quarter, but we just didn’t score,” Mount Ayr head coach Thad Streit said. “We didn’t get any buckets, didn’t get any help.

That kind of hurt us. We went into a lull. Nine points in a quarter is terrible. I tell you what, they didn’t miss a free throw and we didn’t get to the line. That needs to get better.”

Creston shot 14-of-17 from the free throw line for the game, with Mount Ayr shooting just 3-4.

Creston eventually built up an 18-point lead by the end of the third quarter, but after a Tess Shields 3-pointer, Warin layup and another basket by Tess Shields, the Raiderettes

closed to within 48-37.

But Camryn Somers buried a 3-pointer in transition to thwart the Raiderette run.

“That was a dagger,” Streit said. “I remember that.

I thought it was 10 and then she hit that three. That was a dagger. That hurt. You try to make a run an they answer withNovember another4,three.”

Spartan women win in Houston’s return to bench

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@ crestonnews.com

Southwestern’s women’s basketball team is on a roll for the ages.

The last time the Spartan women won three games in a row was the 2009-10 season.

With Monday’s 85-67 win over North Central Missouri College, the Spartans have now won four games in a row, improving to 4-3 for the season.

“It’s a great accomplishment for the program,” said head coach Addae Houston, who returned to the bench for the first time after missing the past three games after undergoing surgery for a ruptured patella tendon.

“It’s showing that we’re

building and that we’re getting where we want to go. Still a long way to go. To finally get Houston something going in the right direction for us is a really good feeling. The fact we won these four games in a row is showing we’re moving in the right direction.”

Southwestern got out to a good start with a 21-15 lead through one quarter, before leading 40-31 at halftime.

Houston said he challenged his team to come out in the third quarter like it did in the first quarter.

The Spartans responded

LENOX — Both teams got what they wanted out of Monday’s Pride Challenge scrimmage here.

Plenty of close-game experiences played out down the stretch for each team in front of a crowd and with officials as the Creston boys defeated host Lenox, 65-59.

Four Panthers scored in double figures, led by senior guard Cooper McDermott with 21 points. Junior Cody Crawford made a team-high four 3-pointers in scoring 16 points, which was matched by freshman starter Kylan Smallwood. Point guard Evan Jacobson finished with 12 points, including 6-of-6 at the free throw line, along with five rebounds, three assists and two steals.

Tucker Flynn, 6-8, 320-pound sophomore center, drew much of the defensive duty against talented Lenox 6-8, 240-pound senior Spencer Brown. After managing eight first-half points, Brown finished with a gamehigh 24 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Tigers.

Junior shooting guard Kaleb Anderson was hot early for Lenox, making four 3-pointers in the first half, and finished with 15 points, all from behind the arc. Carson Cline provided seven points and four rebounds.

Crawford made four 3-pointers while scoring 16 points in the Panthers’ 65-59 victory.

Taylor Phipps was pleased with his team’s first performance in a game situation.

“I think we did a lot of good things,” Phipps said.

“We were not able to get maybe as many guys in as I wanted to, but as the game kept going and it was a close game, we decided to play it out like we would a close game. Especially with this group not having a ton of experience, these live game scrimmages are really valuable.”

“I thought we came out with a lot of energy and ef-

fort, which is a huge thing we’ve been preaching in practice,” Phipps said.

Phipps said McDermott’s leadership was a factor.

“He kind of stepped up his game,” Phipps said. “I think kids kind of look to him a little bit. He was confident and playing hard, and the other guys kind of followed suit.”

Likewise, Lenox coach Jesse Cox said it was a “win-win” for the basketball program and a good cause. Total proceeds from sponsorships and a free-will PRIDE | 9A

Smith made three 3-pointers in the first half and finished with 16-of23 free throws in the foulplagued game.

For the game, Southwestern was 29-of-47 at the line as North Central was whistled for 33 fouls. The

The Creston girls JV team opened the season with a 6424 win over Mount Ayr on Monday.

After leading 28-12 at halftime, Creston dominated in the second half.

“We gave great effort tonight. We have talked a lot about mentality — competing and getting after it. We did that tonight and that is our expectation every night out,” Creston JV coach Ryan McKim said. “That being said, we

have a lot to get cleaned up, but that’s to be expected on the first night out. Overall, we were pleased with the effort.”

Brielle Baker led the Panther JV with 22 points, while Saige Rice chipped in 10 and Taylor Buxton scored nine.

Breanna Wallace scored seven.

Paige Lynch and Kierston Klommhaus scored seven points apiece for Mount Ayr.

admission generated a total of $1,900.

Of that, $250 goes to the Iowa Hall of Pride, which administers the Pride Scrimmage program. The remainder goes to a selected community service project, and in this case it’s the Honor Fight Network, which transports veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit war memorials.

In addition, military veterans in attendance were recognized prior to the game and the singing of the national anthem.

“Karl Peterson teaches history here and likes to honor the veterans, and we thought this was a great way to do that,” Cox said. “We could honor them and get some valuable game atmosphere experience. I thought we did some good things. I think you saw that Spencer is pretty darn good. We shot pretty good in the first half. You can learn from making mistakes in this before you play a game.”

A new look at securing rings Dear Readers: In a recent column, Jo T. wrote about LOSING HER RINGS when she took them off to apply lotion to her hands. Here are some reader hints: Barbara in Mission Viejo, Calif., wrote: “When I wash my hands in a public restroom, I take off my rings and glasses, place the rings on one arm of my glasses, then put my glasses back on. The rings jiggle and remind you that they are with you. When you dry your hands, simply take your rings off the glasses, and they are always safe.”

Sandra M., via email, said: “I work at an office building, and someone found a set of rings in the parking lot and turned them in at one of the desks. No one has claimed them! Please have Jo call every place she went during that time. Maybe someone turned them in.”

Both good hints, and I’d love to print more! — Heloise PAINT ON CARPET Dear Heloise: I spilled paint on gray carpet. Water to the rescue! I poured a good amount of water on the paint.

The best way to absorb the water is a wet/dry vac, but I used a sponge. I set the sponge on top. Don’t press, because it

Hints from Heloise pushes the paint into the carpet. Let the sponge absorb the water, and then wring it out.

Repeat until the paint is gone.

Set a fan on the wet spot to dry it out completely. Might as well try it, because the carpet will be a total loss anyway. — Pam, via mail Readers, please READ THIS before attempting Pam’s hint: Pam, you are lucky that this worked. For most paint stains, pouring “a good amount” of water on them is going to SPREAD the paint more. Far better to scrape up or soak up the paint with paper towels first, then proceed. Generally, in carpet stain removal, it’s soak up the stain, blot and ONLY then use water or a carpet cleaner. Pam, if you saw this on the Internet, did they say what type of paint? — Heloise HIDDEN WIRES Dear Heloise: I have a built-in desk and got weary of looking at the jumble of wires

Horoscope Wednesday, Nov. 25, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Because this is a Full Moon day, it is slightly accidental for your sign. An accident would happen only because you are emotionally excited and, therefore, distracted.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today’s Full Moon crosses both your Money Houses. This means some kind of financial dispute or a financial situation will come to a head. Good luck.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. This is why relations with partners and close friends are tough. They were yesterday; they are today; they will be tomorrow. Patience!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This particular Full Moon creates problems with your health, as well as problems with your job. Fortunately, the Full Moon energy is over in two to three days.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Be patient with your kids today — or any children. Everyone can feel the heightened emotion of today’s Full Moon. Likewise, be patient with your romantic partner.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today’s Full Moon pits you between the demands of home and family and the demands of your career and public reputation. However, you cannot ignore home and family.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is an accident-prone day for you because of the Full Moon. If you pay attention to everything you say and do, you’ll have no worries.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Financial matters might come to a head with others today. Whatever happens, things will be resolved in the next 48 hours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. This makes it difficult dealing with others.

Remember: Courtesy goes a long way when things are difficult.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Cut others some slack at work today, because people are uptight due to the Full Moon. When the annals of history are written, will any of this really matter?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) It’s been difficult dealing with groups lately, especially someone older or more experienced. Things will come to a head today and then quickly be resolved.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You cannot satisfy the needs of home and family when you have to put such an emphasis on your career and public reputation now. That’s just the way it is.

YOU BORN TODAY You are dynamic and persistent, which is why you succeed. You are

not a quitter. In fact, you make things happen. Great news!

This is perhaps one of the most powerful years of your life — a time of accumulation. The seeds you have planted in the past will now ripen, because it’s a time of fruition. This is also a good year to buy and sell.

Iowa’s unemployment rate drops to 3.5 percent DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate decreased slightly to 3.5 percent in October from 3.6 percent in September. The state’s jobless rate was 4.3 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate decreased to 5 percent in October.

“Iowa’s economy continues to improve,” said Beth Townsend, director of Iowa Workforce Development.

“Total nonfarm employment added jobs for the second consecutive month, and the number of unemployed Iowans continued to trend down. The state’s unemployment rate for October now rests at 3.5 percent and is evidence of the strength of Iowa’s economy.”

The number of unemployed Iowans decreased to 60,300 in October from 61,400 in Sep-

tember. The current estimate is 13,500 lower than the year ago level of 73,800.

The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,644,500 in October. This figure was 4,000 higher than September and 5,000 higher than one year ago.

Seasonally Adjusted Nonfarm Employment For the second straight month, total nonfarm employment added jobs and now sits at 1,577,300 jobs.

The gain was primarily fueled by private services and isolated to only two super sectors, while goods producing industries pared a combined 1,600 jobs. Government advanced this month due to larger-than-expected seasonal hiring in local government education and is little changed versus one year

ago (-100).

Professional and business services surged ahead in October, thanks primarily to hiring in administrative and waste management. This is the third consecutive month of growth for this sector, which has added 4,500 jobs since July. The only other gain this month occurred in other services. This sector has gained jobs in three of the last four months. Alternatively, losses this month were small but evident in most sectors this month; the exceptions were leisure and hospitality (-1,900) and manufacturing (-1,000). Leisure and hospitality was hampered this month by a decrease in accommodations and food services staffing and was larger than seasonally expected.

Manufacturing pared jobs

evenly in both durable and nondurable goods factories and shed employment for the third straight month. Smaller drops included education and health services (-700), construction (-500) and trade and transportation (-400).

Annually, nonfarm employment remains up 22,300 jobs (+1.4 percent). Following this month’s surge, professional and business services has now added the most jobs since last October (+6,500), followed by education and health services (+5,800) then construction (+3,700) and other services (+3,700). Iowa’s financial sector has remained strong over the past 12 months and is up 2,500 jobs annually. Annual losses are limited to manufacturing (-1,300), information services (-900) and mining (-100).
