An increasing number of Creston Community School District students have negative balances in their food-service accounts, with some of the negative balances in excess of $100.

CCSD Business Manager Billie Jo Greene reported at the Nov. 21 school board meeting the current outstanding debt is approximately $7,000.

At the conclusion of the 2015-16 school year, the outstanding debt was approximately $6,000. Students who are no longer in the CCSD system who contributed to that debt have been written off.

“We’ve sent letters, we’ve made phone calls, they get emails, they get

text messages and we have s o m e balances that are getting q u i t e h i g h , ” Greene Greene said. “As a district, at this point in time, we don’t want to not provide a meal for these students.

Our only other point of recourse is possibly to send this over to a collection service and for them to see if they can collect it.”

After a lengthy discussion, CCSD Board Member Galen Zumbach made a motion to approve an agreement with Credit Bureau Services of Iowa under the premise of using the collection service as a last resort. Board Member Tom Eagan seconded the

motion and it passed unanimously.

Credit Bureau Services of Iowa, based in Oskaloosa, is approved by the Iowa School Board Association.

“What I was told is they are very respectful to the people,” Greene said.

“They are not harassing them, but they do their due diligence to try to collect it for us.”

Credit Bureau Services of Iowa keeps 35 percent of the money it collects. However, if it is unsuccessful in collecting the outstanding debt, CCSD does not pay the company anything.

Eagan asked if the outstanding debt turned over to the collection service would show up on a person’s credit rating, which Greene said it would.

McDermott emphasized parents have been made aware of their options, and the school district wants to help any family that needs assistance.

“Prior to this, we have sent out a letter to the parents saying this possibly could be our next step, hoping that would trigger them to at least call us,” Greene said. “We would set up a payment plan. We have free and reduced applications.”

Terrorism eyed in Ohio State attack as police seek more info COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Investigators are looking into whether a car-and-knife attack at Ohio State University that injured 11 people was an act of terror by a student who had once criticized the media for its portrayal of Muslims.

The attacker, identified as Abdul Razak Ali Artan, plowed his car into a group of pedestrians on campus shortly before 10 a.m. Monday and then got out and began stabbing people with a butcher knife before he was shot to death by a campus police officer, authorities said.

A motive was not immediately known, but police said they were investigating whether it was a terrorist attack.

Artan was born in Somalia and was a legal permanent U.S. resident, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to discuss the case and spoke on condition

of anonymity.

University Police Chief Craig Stone said Artan deliberately drove his small gray Honda over a curb outside an engineering classroom building and then began knifing people. Officer Alan Horujko, 28, who was nearby because of a gas leak, arrived on scene and shot the driver in less than a minute, Stone said.

Angshuman Kapil, a graduate student, was outside Watts Hall when the car barreled onto the sidewalk.

“It just hit everybody who was in front,” he said. “After that, everybody was shouting, ‘Run! Run! Run!’” Eleven victims, mostly students, were taken to three Columbus hospitals.

Most had been hurt by the car, and two had been stabbed, officials said. One had a fractured skull.

Four remained hospitalized Tuesday morning, the OHIO | 2A

World’s oldest living person celebrates 117th birthday VERBANIA, Italy (AP) — Italy’s Emma Morano, the world’s oldest living person, marked her 117th birthday Tuesday, blowing out all the candles on her cake.

Beaming at the attention, Morano took in the festivities for her milestone celebration sitting in an armchair in her one-room apartment in the northern town of Verbania, joined by her two elderly nieces, a pair of caregivers and her longtime physician.

She received a greeting from Italy’s president, read by an official, wishing her “serenity and good healthy,” and appeared for a brief live broadcast on state-run television. She happily accepted some gifts, including her favorite cookies, which she ate with some milk.

Then she blew out the candles on her cake — not one for every year, but three numerals to show her age, 117 — and quipped: “I hope I don’t have to cut it!”

To the assembled

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, November 29, 2016

well-wishers, Morano said, “I am happy to turn 117,” and drew encouragement from her physician, Dr. Carlo Bava.

“Who would have said it?!” the doctor remarked.

“When you were young everyone used to say you were weak and sick.”

“Yes, yes,” she responded.

Another party, including a visit from the mayor and another cake, was planned for the afternoon, after a nap.

Morano, who is believed to be the last surviving person in the world born in the 1800s, became the oldest living person in May. Italy is known for its centenarians — many of whom live on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia — and gerontologists are studying Morano, along with a handful of Italians over 105, to try to figure out their longevity.

Bava has credited Morano’s long life to her genetic makeup, “and nothing else.”

“There’s a letter that gets sent to people explaining all the things about alternatives and that we’d like to work with them,” McDermott added. “It spells that out in the letter because we want to work with people.”

hospitals said.

Several prayer vigils were held Monday night to support the victims and the community.

Classes at OSU were canceled after the attack but resumed Tuesday. The area where the attack took place was quiet the morning afterward, and the school planned a vigil for Tuesday night as a way to begin healing.

Students said they were nervous about returning and planned to take precautions such as not walking alone.

“It’s kind of nerve-wracking going back to class right after it,” said Kaitlin Conner, 18, of Cleveland, who

The leverage for the school district to receive payment is the fact that a person’s credit score will be affected if the outstanding debt is turned over to the collection service.

There are other options available to the school district, but McDermott said they are options he does not want to take.

“That is to dramatically

change the lunch students receive when they’re in a negative balance in the hot lunch p r o gram,” he said.

“We all have ‘old d a y s ’ stories a b o u t McDermott how we

used to have different colored tickets and stamps on hands and all sorts of things. We do not want to do that. However, we’re reaching a point with some where we may consider that minimum class A lunch for some, especially older students. Bill collection is one of the last things we have left for options.”

said she had a midterm exam to take Tuesday.

U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said the act bore the hallmarks of an attack carried out by someone who may have been self-radicalized.

Ohio State’s student newspaper, The Lantern, ran an interview in August with a student named Abdul Razak Artan, who identified himself as a Muslim and a third-year logistics management student who had just transferred from Columbus State in the fall.

He said he was looking for a place to pray openly and worried about how he would be received.

“I was kind of scared with everything going on in the media. I’m a Muslim, it’s

not what media portrays me to be,” he told the newspaper. “If people look at me, a Muslim praying, I don’t know what they’re going to think, what’s going to happen. But I don’t blame them. It’s the media that put that picture in their heads.”

In recent months, federal law enforcement officials have raised concerns about online extremist propaganda that encourages car-andknife attacks, which are easier to pull off than bombings.

The Islamic State group has urged sympathizers online to carry out lone-wolf attacks in their home countries with whatever weapons are available to them.

Artan was not known to the FBI before Monday’s attack, according to a law enforcement official who was

not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke on tcondition of anonymity.

Dozens of FBI agents began searching Artan’s apartment Monday night.

Neighbors said he was always polite and attended daily prayer services at a mosque on the city’s west side.

Leaders of Muslim organizations and mosques in the Columbus area condemned the attacks while cautioning people against jumping to conclusions or blaming a religion or an ethnicity.

Surveillance photos showed Artan in the car by himself just before the attack, but investigators are looking into whether anyone else was involved, the campus police chief said.

4-H SPIN event involves knitting Union County 4-H’ers tried their hands at knitting squares with the knitting club in Creston. This is the second year 4-H has partnered up with the knitting club.

Learning to knit is part of a monthly program for 4-H’ers and Clover Kids called SPIN or SPecial INterest.

“Each month, we 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 and spark their interest in something new,” said Haley Jones, Union County Youth and Outreach Coordinator.

Several 4-H’ers and Clover Kids attended the event, during which members of

the knitting club took time to teach 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.

Last month’s SPIN event included a draft horse clinic with local 4-H supporter Dan Stephens. In December, 4-H’ers will have the opportunity to participate in an etiquette dinner and learn table manners, conversation starters and the proper way to eat a nice meal.

For more information about 4-H, check out the Facebook page at www. facebook.com/unioncounty4hia/?ref=bookmarks or Union County Extension website at www.extension. iastate.edu/union.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, November 29, 2016

Total disarray HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Wall Street Journal said the Democratic Party was in total disarray after losing the White House, the Senate and the House as well as 34 state houses and governorships. The party may have strayed too far to the left. Fidel Castro died Friday and Democrats are demanding a recount.

Fidel Castro died Friday 57 years after he led a communist revolution in Cuba which seized private property and nationalized U.S. businesses. It had to be a bitter end for the longtime dictator. Fidel Castro spent his entire life trying to overthrow capitalism, and he died on Black Friday.

Donald Trump enjoyed a rise in approval rating Sunday as TV reporters dubbed post-election good news the Trump Bump.

Castro is dead, the stock market hit an all-time high and pot is

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

legal just about everywhere. It’s been just three weeks since the election and already America is great again.

Donald Trump called Fidel Castro a brutal dictator who enslaved Cubans for six decades.

He said Castro’s death brings hope that freedom will soon come to the island. The difference between Fidel Castro and Donald Trump is that people really left the country when Castro became president.

Fidel Castro spent his last 10 years writing a column for Havana’s newspaper. He was always an active observer of U.S. politics. Just a month ago Fidel confidently assured his readers he would walk into hell if Donald

Trump was elected president, so if nothing else Castro was a man of his word.

Cuba’s government announced that Fidel Castro died at age 90 Friday, setting off a joyous street celebration in Miami’s Little Havana. Castro’s death also prompted a champagne party at the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

After 55 years, the poisoned milkshake finally kicked in.

Cubans expressed the hope that Castro’s death would free up the economy and human rights on the island. Many years ago, Castro visited a fortune teller who told him he’d die on a Cuban holiday. When Castro demanded to know which one, she said any day he dies will be a Cuban holiday.

Miami Beach erupted in celebration Friday as news spread throughout the Cuban-American community that Fidel Castro had finally died. Everyone

joined in the fun. The Southern Baptist Convention announced that its Cuban American church members are allowed to dance just this once.

President Obama is preparing to celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas at the White House this month. The president is multi-cultural to the core. President Obama has black supporters in Los Angeles who never believed he was half-white until they saw a picture of him drinking a Bud Lite.

The Clinton Foundation offered a Black Friday sale on reduced speaking fees and personal appearance fees for Bill and Hillary. The good news is, there was a line outside the door over a block long full of kings, sultans, union bosses and CEOs. The bad news is, it was the line for refunds.

Boston TV cable company RCN broke into a CNN broadcast Thursday night and re-

portedly aired 30 minutes of a hard-core porn film. There were no complaints from the left.

Democrats said they’re thrilled to see that CNN finally aired an obscenity that wasn’t loudmouthed and orange.

California activists circulated a petition calling for California to secede from the U.S. to protest against Trump mission to deport illegals who work in the fields, on the lawns and in the homes for low wages. You can’t make it up. Californians are considering secession so they can keep their slaves.

The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show announced Monday it has completed appointing the judges for this February’s competition at Madison Square Garden. It’s billed as the World’s Greatest Dog Show. Man’s best friend turns 50 years old this year, not the dog, the birth control pill.

their own expansions, the concept of moving to the fringes became the norm in Creston.

It wasn’t anybody’s fault, it was just the movement of change and eventually some businesses did move away from the congestion of the old business section. Passenger trains became less and less, and as the town evolved around a series of moves, change was taking place.

Efforts were made to slow that change. To facilitate better flow of traffic, one way streets were added along with parking meters. Later, one-ways were turned back to twoway, and the meters were removed.

As the town spread out, the downtown got smaller.

But, all is not lost. The downtown, or the uptown, as we call it today, has a great secret that few people have realized. It is a great location for a new business. Why? The rent will be less and it will be a great place to start out with your unique idea. If you’ve got that winning combination, you might want to consider a move to the outskirts, but later, after you’ve built your dream store. Who knows, downtowns may become the next successful business section.

2016

I’ve decided to take my own advice and add another unique business in the old downtown. But first, before I tell you what it will be, let me give you a little history of what our business section used to be like.

Now, I can’t take you too far back, I’m not that old. But, I can go into the previous century to a time when the oldest business section in town was the downtown business section in Creston. At least five barber shops, several small grocery stores, a couple of music stores, two dime stores, two furniture stores, two lumber yards, several shoe stores and general merchandise stores, appliance stores, more than a couple women’s dress shops, at least one men’s clothing store and others. Professional businesses like eye, dental, medical and legal were located on the second story of each building. Creston was a much larger town than it is today. Fires have taken their toll. Parking lots have replaced burned out buildings.

Big name stores like Montgomery Ward, J.C. Penney, Gambles, Coast to Coast, Singer Sewing Ma-

chine, Tractor Supply, United Food Stores and later, Thriftway with automatic doors, a first for Creston.

Automotive dealerships Ford-Mercury, Dodge-Plymouth, Pontiac-Buick-Chevrolet, and maybe Nash. My memory fails. Along with several independent cafes, four or five hotels to cater to the passenger train customers and salesmen who traveled by rail, at least two jewelry stores, two bank and paint stores.

At one point in time, there were more than 35 gas stations, many located right downtown. Not to forget Pine Street better known as Tap Street, the location of several taverns and bars. All of these stores compressed into the downtown.

Every space was utilized by some kind of business.

We were a bustling community in those days. We satisfied every need, but we had to drive or walk to get to every store. I think we were the precursor to the concept of “malls” – everything under one roof, park your car once.

But, change was adrift. With so many stores, parking was a constant problem. The streets were too narrow for the huge cars we were driving. While the cities developed

HINTS FROM HELOISE New-patient planning

HOROSCOPE For Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful about endorsing political and religious ideas today, because you might be confused. Perhaps someone who is talking too fast is trying to confuse you? It could be anything.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a poor day for important discussions about inheritances or how to divide or share something. You will find it difficult to stand up for your rights.

Postpone this discussion.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Relations with partners and close friends are bit fuzzy today. People are not sure who is responsible for what or where their exact boundaries are.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)You might feel tired at work today. This is why you should not take on more than you can handle. Don’t push yourself. Be reasonable.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Romance might be disappointing today, probably because you had unrealistic expectations. Perhaps you misunderstood what was really going on. Parents should be vigilant about their kids today, especially when it comes to poisonous chemicals or food.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22)During a family discussion today, you will have a tough time standing up for your rights because you feel like a second-class citizen. Don’t worry - you are not second-class. This is just the feeling you have today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Discussions are confusing today. In addition to this, you might spend a lot of time daydreaming. Oh well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)This is a poor day for making important decisions regarding finances and cash flow, because you are a bit confused. Assume nothing.

Postpone important decisions that affect your assets.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You feel sympathetic to others today.

However, you also feel a bit helpless about your ability to help someone. It’s frustrating.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your concern for those who are less fortunate than you is genuine today. Nevertheless, you are not sure what to do. It

happens.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Someone in a group situation (or possibly a friend) might sweet-talk you into something you don’t really believe. If you think something fishy is going on, it is!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Confusion with bosses and parents is likely today. Be clear in all your communication so as to avoid misunderstandings.

Clarify instructions if someone asks you to do something.

Assume nothing.

YOU BORN TODAY You are

ambitious, independent, kind and generous. You like to plan for the future. In the next two to three years, you will experience a time of culmination, success and financial accumulation. That’s why it is wise for you to start to settle your debts. The year 2017 will be a social year. It also will deal with the results of the changes that took place this year.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I work as a receptionist at a doctor’s office and have some hints for new patients calling to MAKE A FIRST APPOINTMENT: * Have your health-insurance card (primary and supplemental) in hand so you can give member and group numbers over the phone.

This way, insurance can be verified before your visit and copay amount determined, if any. * If you are not asked, be sure to ask if you can download new-patient forms and bring them with you. A lot of offices now have online forms that you can print and fill out in the comfort of your home, saving time once you arrive at the office. * Be prepared to give your preferred pharmacy name, address and phone/ fax number. More and more prescriptions are done directly from our office to the pharmacy. Rarely are handwritten prescriptions given anymore.

– Jenna S. in Houston PROTECTING APPLIANCES Dear Readers: A recent column about whether household appliances should have surge protectors generated a lot of reader respons-

es. Here are just a few: Fred J. in The Villages, Fla., wrote: “Instead of having one surge protector for each appliance, consider calling your electrician to request a single surge protector installed at the point where the power comes into the circuit-breaker panel box. No need to buy a surge protector for each appliance.”

R.J.G. in Thousand Oaks, Calif., wrote: “Over time, these individual protectors wear out and will not work.

Of course, you will not know that, and your computer, microwave and anything with a motherboard will fry.”

Sue and Maury H. in Summerfield, Fla., wrote: “Why don’t the appliance manufacturers include surge protectors within their machines when they make them?

Slight additional cost, but it should save them a lot of warranty claims and unhappy customers.”

Thank you to all my readers! – Heloise GIFT WRAP Dear Heloise: Here is an easy and inexpensive way to wrap a large present: Use a party tablecloth from a dollar store. They come in a variety of colors and prints.

The plastic tablecloths are durable and can be reused,

since tape can be removed without ripping the plastic.

I used a birthday tablecloth and a fun coordinating printed tablecloth for two large presents I recently wrapped for a birthday party. – S.M., Kent, Ohio PREVENT SLIDING Dear Heloise: I have an SUV and hate for things like groceries and luggage to slide around. I put some of the open-weave shelf liner down, and it works like a charm. You can roll it up and store it easily when not in use. – J.D., via email FLYAWAY HAIR Dear Heloise: In winter weather, I find that electricity creeps in when I brush my hair. I have discovered that wiping off your brush and comb with a sheet of fabric softener cuts the electricity.

You also can rub it on your hair! – Susan M., Monroe, La. Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise@Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

Split at opening night in Corning

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

CORNING —Turnovers, rebounds and free throws. Troubles in those three aspects of the game doomed the Southwest Valley girls basketball team in its season-opening 52-42 home loss Monday to Griswold.

“I don’t know the numbers right now, but I’m sure we got out rebounded two or three to one,” Southwest Valley coach Allen Naugle said.

The Timberwolves turned the ball over 27 times, hauled in only 23 rebounds and went just 2-of-5 from

the free throw line.

“We created a lot of turnovers, we just didn’t do much with it because we usually would just give the ball right back to them,” Naugle said.

A week off in between games gave Ryan McKim and the Creston girls basketball team plenty of time to evaluate where things were at after last Monday’s season-opening loss at Class 2A No. 7 Mount Ayr. The week of practice did the Panthers quite a bit of good.

Creston showed its growth throughout in a 58-50 win in the home opener.

“We were way better than we were last Monday,” McKim said. “If you watched us play Monday and (this Monday), we were a lot better.”

The Panthers’ effort on both ends of the court was noticeably better.

“It came down to effort and focus,” McKim said.

“Those two things helped us.

We gave great effort.”

The coaching staff spent last week pushing the girls to improve.

It showed against the Huskies.

“It was a step in the right direction,” McKim said.

“That’s what we keep talking about. We keep talking about rowing the boat and the process. I hope they’re buying into it and I think CNA photo by RYAN KRONBERG they are.”

COUNCIL BLUFFS — Chase Shiltz stacks up well against whatever competition he’s pitted against.

It came as no surprise that he impressed in action at the River Battle Bowl for Team Iowa against Team Nebraska in the former’s 31-7 win Saturday at Gale Wickersham Stadium.

Shiltz ripped off several first down runs and had a long of 31 on the day. Several of his runs drew murmurs of praise from the coaches in attendance watching the game.

Shiltz ran for 101 yards on 19 carries to lead an Iowa team that featured Cedar Rapids Xavier standout running back Maliki Wilson.

Shiltz gave plenty of credit to the large line playing in front of him.

“They would just make a hole for me and I’d get through it and get to the second level,” Shiltz said.

“Some of those safeties and other guys on Nebraska were pretty good too so it was kind of hard to break the long run.”

Shiltz also made his official decommitment from North Dakota State for wrestling, and has chosen to look at a college athletic career in football going forward.

“After the Boone game I just kind of realized that I didn’t want that to be my last game and realized that my heart was in football,” Shiltz said. “It was hard to SHILTZ | 10A CNA photo by KALEB CARTER

turn that down, but I think I made the right decision with that and I’m looking to pursue football from now.”

Saturday’s contest, which featured some of the best gridiron talents in Iowa and Nebraska, was a defensive battle throughout the first half and for much of the second half.

Aside from Shiltz’s exploits, the game was defensive-oriented in nature.

After allowing a touchdown after an early fumble on the opening kickoff, Team Iowa did not yield another score.

Waukee’s Jacob Wiggins picked off a short pass and rumbled his way to a defensive touchdown for Iowa’s only touchdown of the first half. Cole Hahn of Valley booted a 58-yard field goal to give Iowa a 10-7 halftime lead.

The defensive MVP of the game was Grundy Center’s Bryce Flatter, who intercepted a pass and was all over Nebraska ball-carriers around the line of scrimmage.

Team Iowa intercepted six Nebraska passes, with Dallas Center-Grimes safety Trey Washington, an Iowa State

commit, intercepting three passes.

“We played hard,” McKim said. “I’m happy for the girls.

We needed a win. We’ve been coaching them hard and they needed to have success.”

Creston’s defense was especially stout in the first half as the Panthers allowed only 18 points.

While the Panthers gave up 32 in the second half, the effort was still there.

“We can’t give up 18 points and then have them end up with 50. We have to guard better,” McKim said.

“We have to have a better effort and what I mean by effort is we’ve just got to execute better.”

Brielle Baker led the Panthers with a game-high 23 points, to go along with six rebounds.

While Baker had a strong night offensively, it was her defense that shined.

“Brielle’s defense is what did that,” McKim said.

“We needed her to score 23 points. That was great. What I was really proud of was her defense. She kept the girl in front of her.”

Bre Wallace had 12 points, while Cammy Rutherford added nine.

Ruling expected in about a month in Iowa sex-with-student case CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — A judge is expected to rule in about a month on the case against a former substitute teacher accused of having sexual contact with a Cedar Rapids student.

Twenty-four-year-old Mary Haglin agreed during a nonjury trial hearing Monday that Judge Kevin McKeever would try the case solely on a summary of the evidence prosecutors

would have used at trial but will not include evidence based on national and local TV show interviews. The charge against her was reduced to a misdemeanor.

Haglin has pleaded not guilty to sexual exploitation by a school employee.

Authorities say she had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old boy who attended Washington High School.
