PRESCOTT – Congressman David Young continued his tour across Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District with several stops Saturday, including a “Coffee with My Congressman” event at the Prescott Public Library.

Young addressed a crowd of about 10 people Saturday, answering questions and gaining feedback from his constituents.

The Republican U.S. Representative of Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District

addressed several topics, with health care and issues affecting the agriculture economy being among the main points of conversation.

Young drew some heat for not supporting the American Health Care Act, with Paul Ryan’s super PAC, Congressional Leadership Fund, saying it would pull back support for Young in the 2018 election.

But, Young received praise from his constituents Saturday for opposing the health care bill.

“I want to thank you for coming and also want to

thank you for voting against the American Health Care Act,” said Pete Brantner of Lenox, the executive director of Crossroads Behavioral Health Services.

Young said he has seen the Affordable Care Act help families who didn’t have help before with health care, but he has also talked with families who complain about the ACA because it made their premiums and deductibles go up.

“So you want to find a way ... how can we be helping Iowans and not have others be hurt by the cur-

rent law?” Young said. “I want to help fix the problem. I think there’s ways to do that where you don’t have to dismantle the whole law because the rule is there. And, nor is it practical to repeal something without making sure you have the measures where you’re not pulling the rug out from anybody and not causing premiums to get all whacked up.”

Young said he could not support the American Health Care Act for several reasons – he wasn’t YOUNG | 2A

DES MOINES (AP) — A longtime Iowa research center for sustainable agriculture is on the chopping block in the Republican-controlled Legislature alongside funding for a research center that studies flood prevention, and a key lawmaker said Tuesday it’s in part because their work is complete.

A GOP-led budget committee voted Tuesday for an education bill that includes cutting all state funding from the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University and the Iowa Flood Center at the University of Iowa.

GOP Rep. Cecil Dolecheck said the Leopold Center has educated farmers on best practices regarding sustainable agriculture, and any future research should be conducted through ISU. The university has had its funding reduced by millions in the current budget year.

“A lot of people felt that that mission for sustainable agriculture that they undertook, that they have completed that mission, it’s pretty well done,” he said.

Dolecheck added the flood center at UI was originally focused on conducting research linked to historic 2008 flooding in the state.

He said the Legislature never anticipated that funding

w o u l d be longterm. He said while the flood center has utilized federal g r a n t s , Dolecheck “We as Iowans need to be responsible for our taxpayer dollars. What do we need from that flood center at this point in time to help Iowans?”

The cuts — nearly $400,000 for the Leopold Center and $1.5 million for the Iowa Flood Center — would effectively end their work, according to staff for both groups.

The Leopold Center, which is commemorating its 30th anniversary this year, does research on a range of issues including water quality, soil health and farm conservation practices. Lawmakers have been debating water quality legislation amid a lawsuit by a utility that challenged farm runoff in the drinking water supply. That lawsuit was recently dismissed. A bill to address water quality has not yet been approved this session.

Mark Rasmussen, director of the Leopold Center, said the state money is one of three sources of funding but its removal would hurt the others. He disputed BUDGET | 2A

Security logistics loom if guns are allowed at Iowa Capitol DES MOINES (AP) — Gun owners could soon keep firearms at their side while visiting the Iowa Capitol under a bill awaiting Gov. Terry Branstad’s signature.

The potential change has raised questions for security staff about how they would deal with armed visitors.

If signed by Branstad, the measure would enable about 275,000 residents with concealed weapons permits to carry guns in the

Capitol. People from other states who have concealed weapon permits also could carry firearms in the building.

Branstad has indicated he supports the bill. It also includes provisions establishing “stand-your-ground” protections for gun owners.

If signed by Branstad, the Capitol provisions will force building security to quickly resolve staffing and training issues before the law takes effect July 1.

“I’d like to see more competition in the insurance market,” he said. “I’d like to see the states have more flexibility with a stability fund. The debate, the discussion goes on and that’s why it’s important for me and for you to have a voice in this.”

Agriculture Young addressed a question from Karon Finn of Creston about climate change and his stance on it.

“I have spent a lot of time talking to farmers and they have told me something interesting is going on,” Young said. “They have seen the cycles and pay attention more and better than I ever have. So the question is what’s happening, is the climate changing?

I think something is happening. I don’t know if it’s long term, short term, if it’s manmade, how much?

“So I ask myself, ‘What can I do regardless of all that debate to make sure I can advocate for good stewardship of the land?’ That is, to me, pushing hard for renewable fuels like wind, solar and geothermal.”

Young then asked the crowd what concerns it had regarding trade or lack

Dolecheck’s comment about the center.

“The job is not done,” he said. “I disagree that everything is done and fine and we can all pack up and go home.”

Larry J. Weber, a university professor who helps oversee the Iowa Flood Center, said the cut in state funding would jeopardize federal funding.

He said the center helps local communities, pointing to

their role in providing information to the city of Cedar Rapids when it responded to major flooding last year.

“They had more warning and more time to prepare,” he said of the tools the center provided, adding: “We know that the flood center played a very positive role in mitigating that flood.”

The proposals in the roughly $908 million education budget bill approved Tuesday will require more votes before being finalized. Lawmakers will need to approve several bills in the chambers

David Young on other topics: • On the missile strike against Syria – “I supported that. I thought it was decisive action that was appropriate and justified. Putin’s not our friend and neither is Assad.

But, what’s important is to take decisive action when babies, children, mothers and fathers are gassed to death. It’s a win for leadership in the world to send a message that this shall not be tolerated. Now, if there’s a broader strategy here by the administration regarding Syria, I would like to make sure Congress is involved in that.”

• On continuing improvements to the Veterans’ Crisis Line – “The emotional and mental health issues with veterans, they want to be able to connect with their own. It’s one thing to call the center backed up in Atlanta, but how does that professional there, how do they connect that veteran with somebody in their community? So, that’s phase two of what we’re trying to do – get them back in contact with somebody in their county.”

thereof in agriculture.

“Foreign trade is in our best interest in the ag sector,” said Gary Boswell of Corning. “Whatever we can do to promote our products overseas. Our capacity to produce is great and can be even greater. The greatest thing we can do is access markets overseas.”

Brantner, who also owns some farmland with his son, said it’s not helpful to Iowa’s farmers when President Donald Trump makes disparaging remarks about Mexico – the United States’ No. 1 customer of corn.

“In the last three and a half to four years, agriculture income has been down.

That’s a real gut punch in the rural economy,” Young said. “Markets are key to a rural economy. You remember the Trans Pacific Partnership, the last trade deal President Obama was pushing for. Maybe not a perfect agreement, but some real opportunities for America to get her goods and services over there. China is right there ready to pounce.

President Trump said he’s not for multilateral agreements. OK. He’s more for bilateral agreements. OK. But, we don’t even have

convinced it would lower premiums and he didn’t feel piecing the bill together in just three weeks was acceptable when it comes to dealing with 1/7 of the nation’s economy and people’s personal health care.

He also noted he supports parts of the ACA – pre-existing conditions not being discriminated against and children being able to stay on their parents’ insurance plans until the age of 26.

“There was a lot of criticism that Republicans had about how the Democrats did this, and quite frankly, Democrats spent a little Young more time on this than we did,” Young said.

Young said he doesn’t like the idea of arbitrary deadlines, but does feel the need to accomplish something sooner rather than later when it comes to health care.

to OK the overall roughly $7.2 billion budget expected to take effect in July. Republican leaders say cuts are needed amid lower-than-expected revenue, though Democrats say the budget woes are tied to bad spending practices over several years.

Dolecheck said it’s possible that some funding for the flood center could be restored or be directed to UI, but he said it would impact some-

thing else in the budget.

Gov. Terry Branstad has publicly praised the Iowa Flood Center. Ben Hammes, a spokesman for the governor, declined to comment on the proposed cuts.

“This is all part of the process,” he said in an email.

“We are working with the Legislature currently to provide a balanced budget for Iowa families and taxpayers.”

DES MOINES – The process to save the first draft of Iowa history just got a lot smoother.

The State Historical Society of Iowa unveiled a sweeping new plan to preserve more than 12 million pages of newspapers in its collection, giving Iowans greater access to more than 300 titles dating to the state’s pioneer days in the 1830s.

Under the authority of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs, the State Historical Society has signed a 5-year contract to loan the newspapers to the Advantage Companies, a Cedar Rapids business with a division dedicated to the preservation and digital access of historical newspapers.

Advantage will take on the ambitious new project at no cost to the state, and ownership of the physical newspapers will remain with the State Historical Society.

Advantage and the State Historical Society have already partnered on several preservation projects since 2011. But the new agreement clears the way for Advantage technicians to increase and accelerate the preservation of newspapers dating back to 1837, all of which have been gathered from communities and publishers statewide.

Starting this spring, the newspapers stored at the State Historical Building in Des Moines will be transported to Advantage’s secure 80,000-square-foot records-management facility in Cedar Rapids. Technicians will first photograph the pages onto microfilm (which remains the gold standard for newspaper preservation) and then digitally scan the microfilm to provide wider access to the public. Advantage will take similar steps in the future with newspapers at the State Historical Society’s Centennial Building in Iowa City. “Continuing to preserve Iowa’s fragile historical newspapers and increasing public access to the collection in a sustainable way have always been high pri-

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, April 12, 2017

Don Rickles roasting HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Disneyland plans to expand the park’s appeal to Americans other than their traditional family base. An actor pitched them an idea for an attraction where you aim a sniper rifle at a screen and simulate shooting the president as he rides through Palm Beach. The attraction’s called Donald Duck.

Don Rickles died at age 90 at his home in Beverly Hills Thursday, leaving behind a legion of admiring comedians for his mastery of politically incorrect insults. The man could get away with absolutely anything. Right now, Don Rickles is up in heaven roasting Jesus for being a Jew. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons sent a message calling upon Congress to improve and expand the health care bill the House voted on Thursday.

Their own business is booming.

Plastic surgery is so common in Los Angeles we now have a chain of drive-through clinics called Jiffy Boobs.

California Governor Jerry Brown declared the eight-year drought officially over Sunday.

The winter rainstorms saved the entire West. In Las Vegas, the water level at Lake Mead had gotten so low the Mafia was throwing the bodies of deadbeat gamblers into the Caesar’s Palace swimming pool.

that somebody once stood up at a meeting and said, “Let’s make a movie about a tornado full of sharks.”

Senate Democrats were righteously indignant over Neil Gorsuch’s vote after they themselves set a precedent and suspended the 60-vote rule for judges four years ago. It was ever thus on Capitol Hill. Washington, D.C., is like Hollywood in that a clear conscience is likely to be an early sign of Alzheimer’s.

President Trump signed a bill passed by the House and Senate to overturn President Obama’s Internet Privacy Act. This could interrupt our way of life. A poll says 12 percent of Americans say they met their spouse online, while 88 percent say they met someone else’s spouse online.

President Trump drew rave reviews in the Chinese press for his meetings with China’s president Xi Jingping and Chinese ministry

officials at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend. It’s called facing the music. Donald Trump has been president for 75 days, it’s about time he met with the owners.

Donald Trump hinted he’ll run for re-election Friday as Hillary began sounding available for a re-run. Only in America do we let a multi-millionaire and a billionaire spend hundreds of millions of dollars to get a job that pays 400,000 a year. And then let the winner run the economy.

Hillary Clinton spoke to Democratic groups last week and she continued referring to the dark forces arrayed against her during last year’s election. She also likes to attend Broadway shows. Last week, Hillary Clinton was asked to leave Les Miserables because she was bringing the audience down.

North Korea warplanes staged a mock air attack on dummy targets Friday to try to intimidate

South Korea. Satellite video showed a spectacular string of explosions. South Koreans haven’t seen anything like it since Samsung demonstrated its latest smart phone at the stockholder’s meeting.

Mother Jones said the term Tomahawk missiles that hit Syria offends American Indians. The far left is making progress. Last week, they got the Cleveland Indians to drop the grinning Chief Wahoo mascot and replaced him with an Asian Indian receiving a letter of acceptance from Harvard.

President Trump gave a televised speech expressing compassion for the Syrian people before he launched the U.S. missile strike on Basha al-Assad’s air base Thursday. NBC News reports that 87 percent of Syrians live in poverty. That’s what happens when you emigrate to Michigan.

‘LaRose’ shows how families build strength after loss

By Michael Tidemann

This is a monthly column that examines contemporary writers from a literary perspective.

In this spiritually uplifting novel, Louise Erdrich shows how one family’s sacrifice heals the sorrow of another.

When Landreaux Iron accidentally kills his neighbor Peter Ravich’s son Dusty while hunting deer, a great loss falls upon both the Iron and Ravich families. After Tidemann cleansing himself spiritually in a sweat lodge, Landreaux follows an ancient Native American tradition and gives his youngest – and most beloved – son LaRose to Peter and his wife Nola.

It’s neither an immediate nor

easy solution, however. As the Raviches continue to struggle with their loss of Dusty and anger at Peter, LaRose struggles to be accepted by the Ravich’s daughter Maggie who first taunts then accepts him. The Iron family also deals with problems of their own.

It’s LaRose, though, who even as a small boy goes upon his own vision quest and calls upon the help of his ancestors to help mend the two families. As he tells his new sister Maggie, he’s just not any kid. He has spirit helpers. Maggie and LaRose soon become accomplices in their efforts to keep Nola from committing suicide.

Erdrich masterfully weaves two other strands into the story. One is of the first LaRose, a young Native American girl first adopted then wed by a kind but surly trapper Wolfred. Her remains are stolen after her death, cruelly exhibited, and mysteriously disappear after a break-in. Erdrich

also brings into the story Romeo, once best friend of Landreaux, later a ne’er-do-well who was severely crippled when he broke his friend’s fall from a bridge after the two ran from boarding school.

Romeo has ever since held a grudge against Landreaux – a grudge that builds to the point of his wanting to take Landreaux’s life. All three strands join in an explosive conclusion.

Erdrich is an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain band of Chippewa and owns Birch Bark Books, a bookstore in Minneapolis. She is winner of the National Book Award, National Book Critics Circle Award, the PEN/ Saul Bellow Award for Achievement in American Fiction and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.

FOOD

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, April 12, 2017

Protect your heart with these easy meal add-ins cessed, avoiding candied or highly salted nuts.

4. Dark chocolate: Good news: Eating dark chocolate every day can reduce heart attack and stroke for high-risk patients. The magic compound here is flavonoids, which are beneficial for blood pressure and clotting while also reducing inflammation. If you’re onboard with making chocolate your after dinner indulgence, opt for brands with 60-70 percent cocoa and that don’t contain milk fat in the ingredient list.

5. Eggs: Contrary to earlier belief, eating one egg a day has no negative effect on coronary health and can actually reduce the risk of stroke by 12 percent, according to a recent review of 30 years’ worth of scientific study cited on nutraingredients.com. But all eggs are not created equal. Eggland’s Best eggs, for example, offer the benefit of 25 percent less saturated fat, five times more Vitamin D, more than twice the omega-3s and three times more Vitamin B12 than ordinary eggs.

Eggland’s Best’s superior nutritional profile is due to its proprietary, all-vegetarian diet. So get cracking and experiment with recipes featuring poached, baked and even hard-boiled Eggland’s Best eggs to serve up hearthealthy meals.

to 4 minutes.

Whisk the egg mixture again, then pour over the vegetables.

Sprinkle tomatoes and feta cheese on top.

Place the skillet under the broiler and broil until the frittata is cooked through (no longer jiggly) and slightly browned on top - about 5 minutes (watch closely).

Cut into 4 wedges and serve immediately, over a handful of arugula, if desired.

- Recipe courtesy of Eggland’s Best.

ItalIan Desserts Zabaglione is a simple Italian custard dessert made with egg yolks, sugar and Marsala wine. The Castagnelle is a rustic, crunchy, chocolate almond cookie. Either of these will make a delicious after dinner treat. Smakelijk eten!

ZabaglIone wIth amarettI Crumble 1/2 tsp. pure almond extract 6 fresh large egg yolks 1 cup cold heavy cream 3/4 cup superfine/caster sugar 6 biscotti or amaretti (Biscoff) cookies, crushed into small pieces 1/2 cup Italian Marsala wine or any other sweet wine 3/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract Bring 1” of water to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan set over high heat. Add the egg yolks and sugar to a large glass bowl. Using an electric hand mixer on the highest speed, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture is thick, pale yellow, and the sugar is completely dissolved, 4 to 5 minutes. Decrease the mixer speed to low and add the wine, vanilla and almond extracts. Decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and put the bowl atop the saucepan with the boiling water, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Beat the mixture on medium speed, until it is thick, frothy, holds a ribbon, and the temperature reaches 145 to 150°, on an instant-read thermometer. Spoon the warm mixture into custard cups or serving glasses and serve immediately or allow to cool slightly. Serve with fresh berries, if desired. Or, once the mixture has cooled to room temperature, add the heavy cream to the bowl of your stand mixer, with whisk attachment fixed. Beat on medium high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold the cream very gently into the Marsala mixture. Into 4 separate glasses, spoon the zabaglione. Top with crushed amaretti or biscotti cookies. Cover with plastic wrap and let the zabaglione chill completely in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours before serving. You may also make this dessert the day before.

Castagnelle (ItalIan CrunChy almonD CookIes) 2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder 1 1/3 cups almonds 3 tsp. baking powder 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 1/3 cups white granulated sugar

Very Vegetable Frittata

finely grated zest of 1 orange 1 cup brewed strong coffee, espresso or water powdered sugar, for dusting

Preheat the oven to 350°, with rack placed in the middle of the oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Line a smaller baking sheet with parchment paper, place almonds on and toast them for about 10 minutes, until they are fragrant.

Remove from oven (but don’t turn off the oven) and let cool for a few minutes. Then coarsely chop the almonds and set aside.

In a big bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and cinnamon. Lastly add almonds and orange zest. Make a well in the center and add coffee (start with one half first, add the rest as you mix the dough), then mix into the dry ingredients until it is evenly incorporated. Continue to knead the dough with your hands in the bowl to make a stiff dough-like modeling clay.

Divide the dough into quarters. Slightly flour your working surface and roll a piece of dough into a 20 x 1 inch rope. Press down to slightly flatten the rope. Using a sharp knife cut the rope on the diagonal into 1 1/4 inch diamond shapes. Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at 1/2 inch space between them. Repeat with the remaining dough. Bake until the cookies feel set, but still somewhat soft, about 15 minutes. The tops will crack, but the cookies will not darken any further. Transfer the baking sheets to a wire rack to cool. Once the cookies are cool enough to handle, transfer them directly to the racks and let cool completely. Generously sift powdered sugar over the cookies. Makes 50-60 cookies.

Ingredients 4 Eggland’s Best Eggs (large) 1/3 cup Eggland’s Best Liquid Egg Whites 1 cup non-fat milk 1 tablespoon chopped chives 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/3 cup finely chopped onion 1 cup chopped mushrooms 1 cup chopped broccoli 1 cup chopped cauliflower 1 cup chopped zucchini 1 cup halved cherry or pear tomatoes 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese salt and pepper, to taste arugula, for serving (optional) Directions In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk and Dijon mustard; set aside.

In a 10 to 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet, spray with cooking spray and heat to medium-high.

Saute onion until softened - about 2 minutes.

Add the mushroom, broccoli, cauliflower and zucchini to the skillet. Saute until slightly softened - another 3

Place a lid on the skillet, reduce heat to medium and cook until the bottom and sides of the frittata are firm - 8 to 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven broiler.

(BPT) – What’s the biggest threat to our health? It isn’t cancer or even accidents, but heart disease. According to the American Heart Association, one in four deaths in the U.S. is caused by heart disease, which includes heart attack and stroke. This statistic is scary, but the good news is, there is something powerful we can do to prevent us from becoming a victim to this disease.

Even if you are one of the 47 percent of Americans living with a major risk factor, there are preventive measures you can take for a healthier heart, says registered dietitian nutritionist, Dawn Jackson Blatner. All you have to do is embrace some simple lifestyle changes starting with your diet.

Food is quite literally one of the best medicines out there when it comes to improving our health,” says Blatner. “Studies show us repeatedly that a balanced diet including heart-healthy unsaturated fats, along with multiple servings of fruit and vegetables can give you additional protection against heart attack and stroke.”

Here are five of Blatner’s go-to foods you can easily incorporate into your diet for a daily dose of heart-healthy compounds.

1. Fish: Salmon and other fatty fish such as sardines are chock full of omega-3 fatty acids, which lower the risk of irregular heartbeat and help decrease plaque buildup in the arteries. If fish isn’t already in your meal rotation, it’s time to start. Preparation and cooking time for fish entrees is much shorter than that of chicken, beef and pork, making it a perfect weeknight meal.

2. Greens: Leafy greens contain nitrates, healthy compounds that not only reduce the risk of heart attack, but can boost survival rates after a heart attack.

Plus, spinach, kale and other dark green vegetables have carotenoids, which work to keep blood vessels healthy.

So aim to have at least one cup of leafy greens each day, such as scrambled in your morning eggs, a green juice as a snack or a leafy salad with lunch or dinner.

3. Nuts: They contain protein, fiber and healthy fat, which work together to keep us feeling full and satisfied.

Though high in fat, studies show people who consume nuts on a daily basis are leaner than those who don’t, and staying lean is, of course, heart-healthy. So go ahead and keep almonds, walnuts or pistachios on hand for snacking, and choose those that are minimally pro-

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: Here is a great way to PEEL CLOVES OF GARLIC: Wet a paper towel, wrap the cloves in it, then place it in a plastic bag overnight. This softens the hard peel, making it much easier to peel with a knife. I love your column! – Kathy K., Linwood, Neb. WARMING EGGS Dear Heloise: When a recipe calls for eggs to be room temperature, but they’re still cold, place them in a warming oven or a regular oven on low heat for 10 minutes.

By the time you assemble all the things you need for baking, the eggs will be ready. – Helen M., Ingram, Texas STOP ONION TEARS Dear Heloise: If you rub canola oil or olive oil on your knives before cutting onions, it will keep your eyes from tearing. I’ve used this method for years, and it has always worked for me. – Lola Y., Rosebud, Texas GERMS ON THE MENU Dear Heloise: When you’re at a restaurant, be sure to wash your hands

after ordering. The menu generally is the dirtiest thing you can touch. You don’t know how many other people have handled that menu before you! – Doris R., Clawson, Mich.

BYE-BYE, BUTTER Dear Heloise: I like to replace butter with coconut oil in nearly all of my recipes.

It has a very rich, slightly sweet taste and is a healthier choice than butter. – Brenda W. in Atlanta Brenda, good idea! I’ll have to try it. If you’re interested in a pamphlet that has some of my favorite recipes, go to www. Heloise. com to order, or send a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/Recipes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. I love to try a few new healthy variations on some old favorites my mother taught me. – Heloise THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF GINGER ROOT Dear Heloise: I know ginger root is good for eating, but how do I prepare it, and what dishes should I use it

in to enhance the flavor? – Caroline R., Portage, Wis. Caroline, there are so many wonderful recipes where ginger root can be used, and I would encourage you to experiment a little.

But one of my favorite ways is to use ginger root in a stirfry. Below is the recipe I use, which all my friends and family love: 1 clove of garlic, crushed 2 teaspoons of ginger root, chopped very thin 1 cup broccoli crowns 1 cup snow peas 3/4 cup julienned carrots 3 tablespoons soy sauce 2 1/2 tablespoons water 1 cup mushrooms 1 cup zucchini slices 1 can water chestnuts 1 or 2 chicken breasts, cooked and diced (optional) Combine the ingredients over medium to high heat for 15 to 18 minutes. Do not overcook the vegetables.

Readers, do you have a favorite ginger-root recipe that you’d like to share?

WINTERSET — Creston senior Kyle Somers put the ball in the fairway off the tee, then punched it in close throughout his round.

While his putting wasn’t quite as sharp as he would have liked it to be, the shots leading into the green gave Somers plenty of momentum during Tuesday’s triangular at Lakeview Country Club.

Somers took home medalist honors with an even-par round of 35 on a perfect day for golf in Winterset.

“My driver was really good today,” Somers said.

“My wedge shots kept me in the game.”

He noted he was within 10 feet on most of his chips on every hole.

The way Somers chipped Tuesday came as a bit of a surprise.

“I haven’t been hitting that great of shots into the green,” Somers said. “I was feeling pretty good getting it close to the green.”

On the girls side, Ashton Carter did well throughout her tour of the nine-hole course, leading to a medalist

round of 39, seven shots better than runner-up Vanessa Bakley of Clarke.

Carter made up ground around the green.

“I was definitely doing good around the green,” Carter said. “My chipping and putting was very on point.”

Carter noted she did not have a three-putt on the day.

“That’s r e a l l y good,” she said. “A lot of work has paid Carter off. I want to continue doing that.”

Creston coach Jon Thomson liked what he saw out of his top two.

“Our number ones and twos did really well as I expected,” Thomson said.

“We’ve got to get back out on the range and work out some of those tweaks.”

As well as Somers and Carter played, Thomson noted they were bound to find something to improve on.

Panther girls soccer scores win one Boys flip the script on Underwood ■

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Lexi Rounds’ first goal as a varsity soccer player was an unforgettable one.

The Panther freshman scored from close distance shortly after the start of the second overtime off an assist by Grace Root to give Creston a 3-2 home win over Kuemper Catholic in Hawkeye 10 conference play Tuesday.

Opportunities around net were plentiful toward the end of regulation and in the overtime periods.

“It was very intense,” Rounds said. “We were in (double) overtime so it was a really exciting moment and I just shot it.”

Creston coach Kim Lauffer has wanted her forwards to be in position to “clean up the trash,” around the goal. Second chance opportunities will present Creston many of its scoring chances going forward.

“She was there to pick up the trash and stick it in the

AREA GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD Balanced effort leads East Union girls track and field at home

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

AFTON — East Union’s depth across the board led to a number of solid finishes throughout the night at Tuesday’s East Union Girls Invitational track and field meet.

The Eagles scored 116 points to place second at their home meet.

Winterset won with 145 points. “You look at the score sheet — we’re placing in all of the events,� said East Union coach Rich Bryson. “Across the board it was a total team effort. You don’t see anywhere where we didn’t do well. We did well across the board.�

East Union had firsts

half. Toward the end of the half, the Panthers stopped winning possession. Kuemper pushed several through balls past the Creston defense on the counterattack.

The Knights’ Brooklyn Bakke took full advantage, scoring two goals on passes pushed past the Creston back line. “If we are content to let them win the ball and bring it down instead of being the first to it then that’s exactly what happens,� Lauffer said. “The game flips over and they start ripping shots on us and then we get tired.�

Kuemper Catholic had more opportunities to score

from Emma Harper in the 800, the 4x200-meter relay, the distance medley relay and shuttle hurdle relay.

Jena Proffitt was second in the 1,500 and 3,000, the 4x100-meter relay was second, as was the 4x400-meter relay and the sprint medley relay.

The Eagles had a number of runners coming in cold, arriving just before the meet from three days at the state FFA convention in Des Moines. “They have been out of sorts, haven’t been in the swing of things,� Bryson said. “The girls ran their hearts out. They did a good job. I saw a lot of good things.�

With three meets in, Bryson and his staff are looking to find what works

well together. “We can start thinking about what the chess pieces are, where we want to start positioning people where we get optimum performances in as many events as possible.�

Lenox was sixth with 44 points, led by wins from the 4x800 and 4x400-meter relay teams. “The two relays we won worked out well,� said Lenox coach Mandy Stoakes. “We’ve been improving on our times in the longer races. We’ll see how things go.�

Murray was seventh with 39 points in its second meet of the season. “We had several girls lower times from our first meet last week at I-35 to tonight, so that is encouraging,� said Murray coach Keith Shields.

“We hope to see that continue as we continue to have better weather and be more consistent with our outdoor workouts.�

Hailey Chew led the way with a second-place finish in the long jump. Kylie Shields was third in the 3,000 and fourth in the 1,500.

The Mustangs had scoring finishes from 17 of the 24 girls.

UP NEXT — East Union and Murray are at the Central Decatur Invitational Thursday. It will be the first time a girls track and field meet has been held in Leon in at least 20 years, and first since the renovations to the athletic complex was completed last summer.

Lenox is at the Adair-Casey/Guthrie Center meet Thursday.

when Creston failed to clear shots around its own net, but could not take advantage.

Lauffer cited improved midfield play as the next step toward becoming a team that wins consistently.

When midfielder Monica Guzman stepped up in the second half with 24 minutes left on a long boot from well outside of the box to tie the game 2-2, Lauffer found reason to be happy with the increased aggressiveness of her midfielders.

It was Guzman’s first varsity goal. “It felt amazing because I’ve never scored a goal and I’m a senior,� Guzman said. “Getting that goal definitely boosted our team I think.�

But it was a freshman, Rounds, who will be remem-

bered as the hero of the day. “I can’t wait to win some more,� Rounds said.

No stats were available from the girls game as of press time.

Panther boys lay smack down on Eagles UP NEXT — Creston (13, 1-2) travels to Chariton Thursday at 6:30 p.m.

“We travelled determined to bring the win,� Creston coach Lucian Diaconu said. “The last win that we had, it was crucial for our confidence. When we walked her eon this field, we felt a little more confidence.�

After Underwood controlled possession for an early portion of the game, Evan Jacobson got the Panthers scoring by stealing the ball, working all the way to the goal and finishing for a 1-0 lead.

That score held to the half. “After we put the first goal in, we possessed more,� Diaconu said. “In the second half we dominated with passes and they were crushing

Boys earn win at Underwood UNDERWOOD — In the spring of 2016, the Underwood boys soccer team whipped Creston 5-0. Fast forward a year, and it was the Panthers who beat down Underwood, this time by the score of 6-0.

A win over West Central Valley Thursday translated to a new and improved attitude for the Panthers.

Tiger boys tops at Clarke Raiderettes rule at I-35 CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

OSCEOLA — Lenox’s boys track and field team left Osceola plenty excited after last Thrusday’s Crawford Boys Invitational Track and Field meet.

The Tigers outdistanced Southeast Warren by 30 points to win the Class B division of the meet.

Lenox scored 148 points to Southeast Warren’s 118 points. East Union was third with 102 points. Murray was fourth with 73 points.

Lenox put together strong performances all night.

The 148 points is the most coach Matt Malausky could remember in his tenure. “We knew going into this meet we would have a chance for a very competitive meet as it is classed,� Malausky said. “We have enough guys out for track to pluck some young men out of relays and place them in individual events where they have a chance to finish top three and plug another person in and still be very competitive in that relay. Because of this, a lot of our events changed for this m e e t and we were very pleased with the results.�

T h e T i g e r s Tullberg picked up key points early with a first and third from Brenden Christensen and Dawson Tullberg in the discus. Tullberg was first in the 110 meter hurdles, with Christensen second. The shuttle hurdle relay picked up a win. Jeremy Daye won the 100 meter dash in his first time running the race this season. Aaron Schmitz won the 200 and was third in the long jump. Trenton Barnette was second in the 400 hurdles. The 4x100 won and the 4x400 was second.

The Tigers celebrated with a victory lap after, a special moment for assistant coach Tyler Peterson. “Coach Peterson was so excited, he ran a victory lap with the team,� Malausky said. “When I asked him why he ran, he replied, ‘because I never got to experience a victory lap when I was in high school.’ Fair enough!�

Mason Gossman picked up a win for East Union in the 1,600. Casey Walter was second in the high jump, Cole Nelson was second in the 3,200, while the 4x400 and the 4x800-meter relay team placed third.

Murray was led by a standout effort from Jack Jones in the long jump.

Jones easily won with a leap of 20 feet, six inches, missing his personal best by half an inch that he jumped at state in 2015. He was also fourth in the 100 and 200-meter dashes, as well as part of the third-place 4x100-meter re-

lay team.

Bryce Keller was first in the 400-meter hurdles, sixth in the discus with a personal record and part of the 4x100-meter relay team. “We had several guys have good nights,� said Murray coach Keith Shields.

The results improved from East Union. “We also had several other guys that improved their performance from meet one to meet two,� Shields said.

Innovative Industries partners with extension Practical Farmers of Iowa announces on-farm For more than a year, County Youth and Out“The extension office projob opportunities for aspiring farmers Innovative Industries of Creston has partnered with Union County ISU Extension and Outreach to offer activities and learning for adult consumers who are part of the day rehabilitation program.

CHI Health Mercy Corning responds to changes CORNING – Quality, appropriate and timely care for mental or behavioral health patients is a priority for CHI Health Mercy Corning.

During the past year, Mercy Corning has made significant changes to be able to address the needs of individuals in special health care crisis.

“With the closing of some mental-health facilities in Iowa, we knew we needed to carefully review how we were prepared to handle changes in meeting patients’ needs,” said Kathy Peckham, vice president at Mercy Corning.

An early step in preparing was gathering others involved in services for behavioral-health individuals.

Behavioral-health services encompass mental health and other health issues. A coalition was formed with representatives from public health, school system, behavioral health service providers, county supervisors and law enforcement. This coalition reviewed what is available, what the holes are in the plan to meet needs and identified ways to improve local access to care.

Mercy Corning was a key player in identifying and meeting those needs and has taken steps to be ready. The initial step was recruiting Dr. Harmit Singh to join the specialty clinic staff at Mercy Corning. The convenience of telemedicine allows patients to interact with Singh on a regular basis in Corning.

Many behavioral health patients enter the healthcare system through the emergency room with a need for physical care along with their behavioral need. In an effort to increase timely access to behavioral health services, Mercy Corning contracted with Integrated Telehealth Partners (ITP) to provide assessments in the emergency department also via telemedicine. They strive

to provide the right service, at the right time, at the right location.

“We have tracked our patients since having ITP part of our services and it has been a great way to make sure the patients are receiving the right recommendation for their care,” Peckham said. “Not every patient needs to be moved to an inpatient facility; the right answer might be a change in medication for the patient. Having ITP psychiatric services immediately available in the ER gives us that chance to provide the correct level of care.”

The state of Iowa has a system in place to identify when inpatient beds are available across the spectrum of need for the individual patient.

But Peckham was quick to note that the beds are not always there when you need to place a patient.

“There are instances in Iowa when patients remain in a traditional hospital patient room for many days before the appropriate bed opens up for them,” Peckham said. “We have had patients here for up to five days waiting for a bed to be transferred to.”

Along with telemedicine services for outpatient and

emergency departments, Mercy Corning has implemented training for staff to increase knowledge and skills when working with behavioral health patients.

“We recognized that we need to make sure our nursing staff is comfortable and competent in meeting the needs of behavioral patients whether in the ER or an extended stay at our hospital,” Peckham said. “In addition to our nursing staff, we have other staff trained to be with the patient, while seeking to find appropriate placement for the individual.”

Mercy Corning has also established a room designated to safely take care of a behavioral-health patient.

“We work closely with law enforcement staff,” Peckham said. “We’ve been fortunate to have good partners to work with during the situation. We want to keep the patient safe and our other patients and staff safe also.

It’s not a perfect system, but we believe we are taking the right steps to be prepared to respond to behavioral-health patient needs. We will continue to work closely with the coalition group to come up with additional ways to enhance the services available locally for our patients.”

AMES – Practical Farmers of Iowa is once again partnering with experienced farmers across Iowa to offer aspiring farmers several on-farm job opportunities through Practical Farmers’ Labor4Learning program.

Having sufficient onfarm work experience is vital to the success of new farmers just starting on their own. Most on-farm employment opportunities, however, are limited in scope and don’t expose employees to the full range of skills needed to successfully run a farm business Practical Farmers of Iowa’s Labor4Learning program helps fill this need by connecting aspiring farmers seeking paid on-farm training with experienced farmers looking for eager employees. Those in the program also receive additional training on topics such as finances, marketing and other skills vital to running a farm business.

This season, 14 experienced farmers from around the state have signed on to hire an employee through the program and provide that additional training. At the start of employment, the trainer and trainee will agree on a set of learning outcomes they will address during the course of employment, beyond the normal job-related work activities. Each Labor4Learning trainer farm was approved by a committee of Practical Farmers of Iowa members to serve as qualified teachers.

Paul and Nancy Ackley of Bedford in Taylor County are one of the 14 farmers involved in this program. They will provide training in beef cattle, corn, soybeans, small grains and hair sheep.

The Ackleys raise beef cattle and hair sheep using managed grazing practic-

es, and grow corn, soybeans and small grains in extended rotations. They were approved to serve as a trainer farm by a committee of Practical Farmers of Iowa members.

“We believe strongly in building and maintaining soil health,” Paul said.

“Diversifying with wheat, livestock and cover crops are important components to that. We are happy to support the next generation of Iowa farmers and to employ an aspiring farmer looking for experience on a diversified crop and livestock farm.”

Their training opportunity will involve setting up paddocks, moving cattle, checking and installing waterers, bonding sheep to cattle and drilling cover crops, among other responsibilities. The Ackleys will also work with their employee to develop a set of learning outcomes that address important issues for running a farm business.

Other jobs are found across the state and encompass diverse enterprises, such as greenhouse production, livestock,

dairies, produce and row crops. Each job opening in the program varies in duration, hours, work activities and compensation. A list of participating farms and complete job descriptions and program details can be found at www.practicalfarmers.org/labor4learning.

To qualify as a trainee, applicants must have a strong desire to learn, apply to and be hired by a trainer farm and become a member of Practical Farmers of Iowa.

Entering its fifth year, Labor4Learning has proven to be beneficial for both parties. Experienced farmers find high-quality, motivated workers. Aspiring farmers find employment on a reputable farm, gain additional training beyond their wage-earning activities and build a network of beginning and experienced farmers through PFI. “I’ve found that formalized instruction educates the teacher as much as the student,” says Jill Beebout of Blue Gate Farm in Marion County. ”The opportunity to help beginning farmers, along with continuing to improve our own journey on the farm, seems to be a wonderful way to propagate small farms.”
