CITY COUNCIL

Council hears options on North Elm Street

By SCOTT VICKER

Big air: TJ Patterson of Creston gets big air on a transfer over a ramp Thursday afternoon at the McKinley Park skate park.

As Creston City Council continues to examine the city’s streets, council members were given more information about North Elm Street during Tuesday’s regular meeting.

Austin Smith of Garden and Associates briefed the council on several different options pertaining to North Elm Street.

Those options included doing an overlay on North Elm Street, a 40-year full reconstruction at the existing width and a 40-year full reconstruction at 31-feet wide.

For comparison’s sake, Smith looked at the cost of a 12-year overlay done three times for a total life of 36 years compared to the cost of the 40-year full reconstructions. The 40-year full reconstructions also include new base, sub-drain and some storm-sewer work.

“An overlay at a 12-year rate is $109,000 a year for 36 years,” S m i t h said. “If you come back in with an e x i s t i n g Smith width (full reconstruction), you still might have some narrow sections, 26-feet-wide sections,

Temperatures reached the mid-50s Thursday with clear skies for the first time in several days.

The final bill represents weeks of back-and-forth between the House and Senate to finesse sweeping changes to the state’s gun laws and regulations. GOP lawmakers have tried for years to advance pro-gun legislation, arguing it would expand Second Amendment rights in Iowa.

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa lawmakers gave final approval to a gun-rights bill Thursday, approving a stand-your-ground provision and the right to carry concealed firearms on state Capitol grounds.

The House voted 57-36 for the legislation, which cleared the Senate on Tuesday. It now heads to Gov. Terry Branstad, who in the past has supported gunrights legislation, but his

The Creston McDonald’s is temporarily closed.

According to the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals, the Creston location voluntarily closed temporarily Thursday while the restaurant owners brought in a profession-

you’re looking at $103,000 a year. So it’s actually cheaper than doing an overlay, if you look at 36-year compared to 40-year. If you go up to 31-feet-wide back-to-back, which is a wider, urban section, it’s about $112,000 per annual cost.”

According to Smith, financially, it makes sense to go with a full reconstruction.

Not only would it be cheaper or nearly the same cost per year, but the city would be left with concrete in much better condition.

Another problem with overlaying the street three times over the course of 36 years is sometimes the city doesn’t get in to overlay the street at the recommended 12-year mark. Smith noted in some cases, Creston streets have gone 20 or more years before being overlayed.

That, he said, can inflate the price of the overlay.

“If it’s in pretty good condition when you overlay, you’ll get additional life out of it, but that section of Elm Street is in pretty rough shape,” Smith said.

City council members agreed it would make sense to go with a full reconstruction based on those prices.

“Does it make sense to go with the full reconstruction regardless?” asked Gabe Carroll, Ward 3 councilman.

Darrell Brown, 80, of Lenox died Tuesday, April 4, 2017, at Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston.

A memorial celebration of life will be 11:30 a.m.

Saturday, April 8, at the Lenox American Legion Hall. Visitation with Brown family present will be 10 a.m. until service time. Private family interment with military rites will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests all bring a dish to share at the potluck following the services. Casual dress is also requested. Online condolences may be left at www.ritchiefuneralhome. com. Arrangements were entrusted to Ritchie Funeral Home, 124 S. Main St., in Lenox.

Darrell Gene Brown Sr., son of Eddie and Grace Brown, was born in Iowa.

As a sharecropper’s son, he spent his childhood working in the fields with his two older brothers. Darrell enlisted in the Army at 17. A broken leg during basic training kept

him from being shipped to Korea during the war. He was stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington.

Darrell married Virginia Louise Albert at Fort Lewis, Washington. They had four children, Melody (Steve Shinokis), Darrell Jr. (Tori), Lisa (David Goff) and Lori (Scott Nation). Darrell had two barber shops at the Orting Soldier’s Home for more than 30 years. Darrel served on the school board, city council and planning committee, and was active in the Orting Lion’s Club.

In 1976, Darrell met and married Shirley Jean Twiggs and they had a son, Phillip (Sara). They were married for 41 years, spending the last 23 years in Lenox. For the past several years, Darrell worked for the Lenox school system driving a van for special needs kids and as a bus driver.

Darrell is survived by his wife Shirley; brother Bob (Kathlyn); sister “Sis” Clare Davis (Dean); five children, 12 grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and countless friends.

Darrell was preceded in death by his brothers, Darwin and infant Charles William and his parents, Eddie and Grace Brown.

BEIRUT (AP) — World leaders rallied around the United States after it launched a missile strike early Friday on a Syrian air base in response to this week’s chemical attack, while Russia condemned the move as “aggression” and suspended crucial coordination with Washington in Syria’s congested skies.

The overnight missile attack, which marked the first time the U.S. has directly targeted Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces, was condemned by his allies in Russia and Iran but welcomed by the Syrian opposition and its supporters, who expressed hope it signaled a turning point in the devastating six-year-old civil war.

The bombing represents Trump’s most dramatic military order since taking office and thrusts the U.S. administration deeper into the complex Syrian conflict.

The Obama administration threatened to attack Assad’s forces after previous chemical attacks, but never followed through.

About 60 U.S. Tomahawk missiles hit the Shayrat air base, a small installation with two runways, where aircraft often take off to bomb targets in northern and central Syria. The U.S. missiles hit at 3:45 a.m. (0045 GMT) Friday and targeted the base’s airstrips, hangars, control tower and ammunition areas, U.S. officials said.

They were fired from two warships in the Mediterranean Sea, in retaliation for Tuesday’s deadly chemical attack, which officials said used chlorine mixed with a nerve agent, possibly sarin.

Assad’s office called the U.S. missile strike “reckless” and “irresponsible.” The Syrian military said at least SYRIA | 6A

“Hundreds of thousands of Iowans feel safer carrying guns,” said Rep. Matt Windschitl, the bill’s floor manager. “It is the ultimate equalizer.”

The bill would also allow residents to sue a local government for enacting a gun-free zone if an individual felt adversely affected.

Most elements of the bill would take effect July 1, but a provision to allow minors under 14 to use handguns with parental or guardian supervision would take effect immediately.

The divisive stand-yourground language in the bill would allow people to use deadly force anywhere if they felt a risk to their life or safety. It also would allow a person to use deadly force even if alternative action is available, and an individual could be wrong in his or her estimation of danger.

Windschitl pushed back against questions of whether the provision could cause unintended consequences, saying the bill does not eliminate the need for using reason with deadly force.

“Just because you’re afraid of someone doesn’t give you the right to shoot them,” he said. “They

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Sanford Health Plan has filed a lawsuit alleging the federal government owes it nearly $9 million in payments under a program included in former President Barack Obama’s federal health care law.

The program, which lasted from 2014 to 2016, established “risk corridor” payments to health insurers to help offset any uncertainties of selling individual insurance plans on the newly created exchanges, the Argus Leader reported.

Sanford Health serves South Dakota, North Dakota and Iowa.

Congress prohibited the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services from using certain accounts to make risk corridor payments, resulting in insurers nationwide foregoing billions of dollars.

Government officials said they were confident the program would be revenue neutral, with profits from high-revenue insurers offsetting losses from low-revenue insurers. But the program’s first year saw

profits at $362 million and losses at $2.87 billion.

“Sanford Health Plan has followed the law and brought high-quality, affordable health insurance to the people of South Dakota, North Dakota and Iowa,” Sanford chief marketing officer Cindy Morrison said. “Unfortunately, the government has not met its payment obligations, and Sanford Health Plan has brought this lawsuit in order to ensure that the government lives up to its end of the bargain.”

Sanford is joining about 20 other insurance companies in filing suit in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.

In a past case brought by Moda Health Plans, Judge Thomas Wheeler found the government had a contractual obligation to make the payments.

“There is no genuine dispute that the government is liable to Moda,” Wheeler wrote. “Whether under status or contract, the court finds that the government made a promise in the risk corridors program that it has yet to fulfill.”

“Most of the trees on that stretch are, I think, between the curb and the sidewalk, which in terms of keeping your base up on your pavement, is about as bad as you can get. Drainage is a huge issue for keeping your base up. Those roots from those trees hold moisture, so if you can envision driving over some wet dirt, it doesn’t hold up as good as dry dirt.”

would have to actually be attacking you. You would have to be in fear of your life.”

Rep. Ako Abdul-Samad, a Des Moines Democrat, said he worries inherent racial biases will cause people to inaccurately assess deadly force against minority citizens.

“We have individuals that condition other individuals to fear that image,” he said. “That’s why I have to be against this bill.”

Democrats largely opposed the bill for the standyour-ground allowance, but also criticized concealed-carry permissions on Capitol grounds. Rep. Mary Wolfe, a Democrat from Clinton, said she would have liked to see more bipartisan amendments.

“Many Democrats support many of the provisions in the bill as a whole, but because we were unable to work together on a few little points, I’m going to be a no,” she said.

Four Democrats supported the legislation in its entirety, while the majority opposed it.

“I understand some folks disagree with some of the provisions in this bill,” Windschitl said. “But by far, we can agree that this will advance Iowan’s individual freedoms and individual liberties.”

Essentially, after 40 years overlay, you’re at the point you have to do full reconstruction anyway.”

At-large Councilman Steve Wintermute asked if doing a full reconstruction at 31-feet wide would run the risk of losing trees along North Elm Street.

Smith gave South Elm Street as an example, noting that street was done as a full reconstruction and is at approximately 40 years old.

“It’s in pretty decent shape,” Smith said. “That’s what the city would be left with on the north side if they do a full reconstruction.

Kid Rock returns to the Iowa State Fair DES MOINES – Multi-platinum American rock ‘n’ roll icon Kid Rock is returning to the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines with top hits in rock, rap and country genres. Kid Rock last performed at the fair in 2004.

In 2017, Kid Rock takes the stage 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug 20.

Tickets go on sale 10 a.m.

Friday, April 7, at www.etix. com or 800-514-3849 and will cost $90, $70 or $62, depending on location of seats in the grandstand.

Kid Rock, a multi-platinum award-winning American rock ‘n’ roll icon, has sold more than 26 million albums around the world.

The multi-instrumentalist has made hits across genres, from rap and rock in the ‘90s with singles “Bawitdaba”

and “Cowboy,” to country with “Picture,” a collaboration with Sheryl Crow that charted No. 4 on the Hot 100. Kid Rock’s 2007 album featuring the song “All Summer Long,” charted at No. 1 in eight countries across Europe and Australia, and the music video received more than 48 million views on YouTube. Kid Rock has consistently released albums since 1990, many of them going platinum and multi-platinum with spots in the Top 10.

All concert events are reserved seating. Convenience charges apply to all tickets.

Grandstand tickets do not include fair admission, but discounted advanced admission tickets are available at www.iowastatefair.org.

Navy: Iowa State cadets involved in photo case were all male AMES (AP) — A Navy spokesman says seven male Iowa State University cadets were involved in taking and posting explicit photographs on Facebook.

Lt. Sean Brophy said Friday that the men were “willing participants” in inappropriate behavior around campus and online.

He says the pictures posted to a student group’s Facebook page caught the attention of other cadets of the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps, who report-

ed them.

The Navy confirmed the March 4 incident to The Associated Press on Thursday.

The explicit photos show some cadets at different locations around campus.

The Navy says “appropriate administrative actions” were taken against the midshipmen, who remain part of the program. Program commanders apologized to Iowa State academic leaders and required training on social media and Navy values.

Corning Opera House enters USA Today’s A Community Thrives competition CORNING – The Corning Opera House Cultural Center has entered the USA Today’s A Community Thrives competition for a chance to win $100,000 to bring artists to Corning to work with youth in a program called Creative Adventures. The center needs the public’s help voting online once a day starting 11 a.m. April 12 and ending May 12. The link is act. usatoday.com/submit-anidea/#/gallery/58379919 or get access on the website at www.corningoperahouse. com or the opera house Facebook page.

To enter the competition, the Corning Opera House entered one of three categories: wellness, arts and culture or education.

The opera house created a three-minute arts and culture video explaining the need for a variety of artists (music, drama, art and others) to be brought to the rural area. Liz Timmerman, Southwest Valley School’s at risk coordinator, explained how it’s needed to provide opportunities for the youth to thrive in the

SM-CP4216060417

community; Beth Waddle, Adams Community economic director, provided information on the barriers to the small community and the skills needed in today’s workforce; Avery Morgan, a participant in the opera house’s musical, explained how she became more confident; Owen Paul, Southwest Valley Schools student, talked about getting over stage fright and developing courage; and Corning Opera House’s Executive Director De Heaton closed with the positive affect these dollars would have on the community. The video has met all the qualifications and is eligible for the next step of public voting.

The public can vote one time per day. The top 10 videos in each of the three categories with the highest number of votes move onto the judge’s panel, where the panel’s decision is based on the nature of the project, viability and long-term impact. Each category has three winners, IOWA DISTRICT COURT FOR two at UNION $50,000 and one at COUNTY IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF $100,000, which will be anV. ARLENE MADISON, Deceased. nounced 28.

seven people were killed and nine wounded. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition monitor said the seven included a general and three soldiers.

The Kremlin said President Vladimir Putin believes the U.S. strike is an “aggression against a sovereign state in violation of international law.”

Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said “Washington’s move deals a significant blow to the Russia-U.S. relations, which are already in a deplorable shape,” and poses a “serious obstacle” for creating an international coalition against terrorism.

Russia said it is suspending a memorandum with Washington — signed after Russia began an air campaign in support of Assad in September 2015 — under which the two exchange information about their sorties over Syria.

The Kremlin said just 23 of 59 missiles reached the air base, destroying six Syrian jets but leaving the runway intact.

A U.S. official said all but one of the 59 missiles struck their targets, hitting multiple aircraft and air shelters, and destroying the fuel area.

The official, who was not authorized to discuss initial reports, spoke on condition of anonymity.

A U.S.-led coalition has been bombing Islamic State targets in Syria since 2014, while Russia’s air force has been striking both extremist groups and Syrian rebels in order to aid Assad’s forces.

Saudi Arabia and Turkey, which support the Syrian opposition, welcomed the missile strike, with Riyadh calling it a “courageous decision” by Trump. Iran called it a “dangerous” move that would “strengthen terrorists” and exacerbate the conflict.

Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Lebanese group that has sent thousands of fighters to Syria to bolster Assad, said the “foolish” strike would lead to a “dangerous escalation in the region.”

The British government said it was informed in advance about the strike and firmly supports the American action.

Prime Minister Theresa May’s office says the action was “an appropriate response to the barbaric chemical weapons attack launched by the Syrian regime, and is intended to deter further attacks.” France, Italy and Israel also welcomed the strikes.

The opposition Syrian Coalition said the U.S. attack puts an end to an age of “impunity” and should herald

the start of a larger campaign against Damascus.

Maj. Jamil al-Saleh, a U.S-backed rebel commander based in the area where the U.S. attack took place, told The Associated Press he hoped the strike would be a “turning point” in the six-year-old war, which has killed an estimated 400,000 people.

Assad had been under mounting international pressure after the chemical attack on the northern town of Khan Sheikhoun, which killed 87 people, including 31 children. Even Russia has said its support is not unconditional.

Syria denied using chemical weapons. Russia has said the toxic agents were released when a Syrian airstrike hit a rebel chemical weapons arsenal, and that blame should not be apportioned until a full investigation has been completed.

Russia’s military intervention in Syria has turned the balance of power in Assad’s favor, and Moscow has used its veto power at the Security Council on several occasions to prevent sanctions against Damascus.

The U.S. had initially focused on diplomatic efforts, pressing the U.N. Security Council to adopt a resolution to condemn Syria’s suspected use of chemical weapons.

But the vote was canceled because of differences among the 15 members.

The Security Council plans to meet at 11:30 a.m. (1530 GMT) for a briefing on the U.S. strike.

In Geneva, the U.N. envoy for Syria told the AP his office is in “crisis” mode after the strike, and that he would soon convene an urgent meeting of a Syrian ceasefire task force chaired by the United States and Russia.

Staffan de Mistura said Russia requested the meeting, which was “agreed upon” by the United States.

The envoy has been spearheading peace-making efforts for nearly three years, with little progress.

Trump had said the chemical attack crossed “many, many lines,” and put the blame squarely on Assad’s forces. Speaking Thursday on Air Force One, Trump said the attack “shouldn’t have happened, and it shouldn’t be allowed to happen.”

A survivor of the chemical attack said he hopes the U.S. missile attack puts an end to government airstrikes, creating a safe area for civilians.

Alaa Alyousef, who lost 25 relatives in the chemical attack, said the U.S. missile strike “alleviates a small part of our suffering,” but he worries it will be an “anesthetic” that merely numbs the pain while allowing the international community to save face.

PANTHER GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD

Record-smashing night for Hood Panther senior obliterates own record in shot put ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — Having already thrown multiple throws 40-plus feet in the shot put Tuesday at Red Oak, Creston senior Hannah Hood felt energized and anxious about her upcoming final throw.

Like she has done many times before, Maggie Arnold calmed Hood down, and helped Hood focus on her next throw.

That throw smashed her own school record.

44 feet and 2 inches.

“That’s just an amazing throw,” coach Clay Arnold

said. “We were looking to go over 40 tonight and I don’t think any of us had that in my mind.” Hood T h a t obliterated her old throw of 41 feet and 9.5 inches, set during her sophomore year.

“It felt coming off and I knew right as it came off that it was going to be a good one,” Hood said.

Though she knew the throw was over 40 feet, she was ecstatic to hear the result announced.

Hood had already won the discus with a throw of 106 feet and 8 inches earlier in the day, and felt plenty good going into the shot put.

“Usually discus, it’s one

way or the other,” Hood said. “When I got first today I tried to keep that momentum high and I wanted it to lead that into the next event.”

Hood and fellow thrower Faith Wilson pushed one another Thursday, just like they normally do.

“Whenever she throws really well, I throw really well,” Hood said. “We make sure we’re really supportive of one another.”

Wilson took fourth in the shot put and fifth in the discus Thursday.

Wilson and Hood were just two among the Panther field events that yielded Creston 47 of its 148 team points that brought the Panthers to a close second to Glenwood once again.

The Panthers continue to find their footing in the re-

lays, allowing them to inch ever closer to the Rams.

Clay Arnold was more content with Thursday’s handoffs compared to Tuesday’s in Clarinda.

Creston bested the field in the 4x200, 4x400 and 4x800.

With the Panthers finally starting to feel healthy again, the field events can carry just as much momen-

tum as the relays that the Panthers are historically strong in.

Season bests were in style Thursday. Creston set personal records and season-best times in multiple individual races, several relays, and multiple individual legs of relays.

Emma Hanson, Saige Rice, Brielle Baker, MaKenna Hudson, Rachel Shepherd and Kesia Stewart were all noted by Clay Arnold as runners who set season or personal bests.

“Our competitive edge is definitely better,” Clay Arnold said. “We’re coming together as a team.”

Bre Wallace is just one athlete on the team getting back to full strength.

Knowing fully well from past experience that the back line of the West Central Valley defense likes to sag, Creston boys soccer coach Lucian Diaconu encouraged his team to take shots when open opportunities presented themselves.

The Panthers did just that, taking chances early and often in a 4-0 win over the Wildcats.

It took less than two minutes for Creston senior Gavin Woods to heed Diaconu’s advice and blast home his first goal of the season from outside the box.

Then in the fourth minute of play, Woods rebounded a ball that was crossed

PANTHER TENNIS Successful season debut for Panther girls tennis

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

The new look Creston/Orient-Macksburg girls tennis team had plenty of questions to answer coming into Thursday’s season-opening match against Atlantic.

The Panthers answered most of them emphatically.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg opened the season almost as well as it could have with a dominating 8-1 win on the courts at Southwestern Community College.

Assistant coach Amanda Plymale was very pleased with what she saw on opening night.

“I was very anxious to see what we could accomplish,” Plymale said. “I was very pleased with our results.”

Chloe Hagle started off the day with a solid 8-3 win at number one singles over Heather Freund.

It built momentum the Panthers carried throughout. Megan Haley (number two singles), Sara Williamson (number three singles), Livi Hartman (number four singles), Mattie Wheeler (number five singles) and Madison Callahan (number six singles) all rolled to comfortable wins.

“Chloe Hagle played with great placement and was able to move her opponent around,” Plymale said.

The doubles tandems moved up to varsity from JV with great success. Hagle and Haley won 8-2, while Wheeler and Callahan teamed up for an 8-0 win.

multiple surgeries on her shoulder, and is finally feeling the healthiest she has felt in her varsity career.

According to Clay Arnold, the most consistent thing he has seen this week from Hood has been her consistency.

Championship gold will be a goal in the long run, as 15 girls performed close to the best of their personal capabilities Thursday.

Even closer is Glenwood. “I feel like we could easily get them here soon,� Hood said. “We’ve just got to tweak some things and it’ll come together.�

The Panthers are coming together now, and hitting their stride at the right time.

With three weeks this upcoming week, starting with Monday’s home meet, around this point in the schedule is when the Panthers make their move. “Last three seasons, this has been the week that has made our season,� Clay Arnold said. “We’ve got to go out and win that home meet. We’ve got to get healthier and we’e got to get better. The season’s going to be over soon and we’ve got to get things going the right way.�

satisfied with his squad’s performance. The Panthers left several scoring opportunities out on the table and could have notched several more goals in his opinion. “I think we were capable of more even with the people gone,� Diaconu said. “I think we struggled with possession a little bit in the center of the field. We did a good job distributing to open space and making runs toward the goal and having shots on the goal but we need it improve definitely on possession.�

That said, the Panthers were missing three starters

HINTS FROM HELOISE Strawberries on a roll

HOROSCOPE For Saturday, April 8, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a classic day for nasty power struggles, so step lightly and watch yourself.

Don’t blurt out something that you will later regret, because who wants egg on his or her face? Not you!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Something going on behind the scenes might make you do a slow boil today. The problem is that you feel you can’t speak out. Grrr. Nevertheless, you’re not pleased.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might encounter someone strong, especially in a group, who opposes whatever you suggest. Rather than fighting this person, just walk away, because you’ll be better off.

(Live to fight another day.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)This is a poor day to ask for permission or approval from bosses, parents and VIPs, because they will not be cooperative. In fact, they will directly oppose you.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because arguments will be intense and nasty. Avoid dangerous places as well. Caution!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Disputes about shared property or shared responsibilities might occur today. This actually is a poor day for these discussions. Postpone this sort of thing for another day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) It’s tough to deal with partners and close friends today.

It seems as if no matter what happens, everyone just disagrees. Everyone should return to their own corners.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Avoid difficulties with co-workers, people in medicine or anything related to pets, because today these are your challenging areas. Don’t make a big deal about things. Go softly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a classic day for meltdowns and hissy fits with kids. Be gentle and patient with your kids, because they’re just children. Likewise, romantic partners must be gentle with each other.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Avoid disputes with family members today, especially parents and authority figures. People are intense and obsessed with their own point of view. Run away!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)You might not realize it, but you are stuck in your own way of thinking today, which is why it’s impossible to get agree-

ment from others. Postpone important discussions. Keep things light.

PISCES(Feb. 19 to March 20) This is not a good day for making important money discussions. People will not cooperate or compromise. Easy does it. Keep a lid on things.

YOU BORN TODAY You embrace an excellent balance of idealism and realism. You are cautious about big decisions. This year will begin qui-

etly. In fact, you might not see major changes until next year.

However, it will be a year of growth, construction and building. Do what you can to reduce your debt and strengthen your financial position, because you are building for your future!

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: Now that we’re getting close to STRAWBERRY SEASON, I have a recipe that I use whenever I have company, and everyone loves it. My husband and I were introduced to it while we were traveling through France a few years ago, and every time I use this recipe, I’m reminded of that old French country inn.

1. Clean strawberries and remove the green caps. Allow to dry on a paper towel.

2. Arrange the strawberries in a bowl or on a plate.

3. Roll the strawberries, one at a time, in sour cream, then roll them in brown sugar.

4. Eat and enjoy!

Most people enjoy the ceremony as much as the berries. – Anita W. in Dallas Anita, that sounds delicious! For some additional dessert recipes, try my pamphlet Heloise’s Cake Recipes. To order one, go to www.Heloise.com, or send a business-size, stamped (70 cents), self-addressed envelope, along with $3, to: Heloise/Cake, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Nearly everyone loves a rich, moist cake. Tell us what is your favorite cake recipe and why you like it so

much. – Heloise SWEET LUGGAGE Dear Heloise: Sometimes luggage can develop an unpleasant odor if it’s closed up for long periods of time.

To overcome this problem, I either toss in a dryer sheet (which also helps keep moisture out), or I use the perfume ads with the scented strips from magazines to keep my luggage smelling sweet. – Christina L., Holland, Mich.

PEPPERMINT OIL USE Dear Readers: Spiders and mice hate the scent of peppermint. Put a tablespoon of peppermint oil in a spray bottle with 2 1/2 cups of water, and spray the garage and cupboards in the house. Repeat every other month, or as needed. – Heloise A JOLT THROUGH THE PHONE Dear Readers: I’ve received several letters about using telephones during an electrical storm. Anything that conducts electricity can provide a pathway for an electrical surge, including such things as corded telephones, plumbing, refrigerators, TVs and even metal doors. While a surge protector is helpful, even the best can’t provide protec-

tion from a direct hit. So my best advice is to stay off the landline telephone during a storm. As for cellphones, it’s less likely to receive a lightning strike because radio waves do not conduct electricity very well. Still, it’s better to use a cellphone indoors during an electrical storm. – Heloise.

HELOISE’S TRAVEL TIPS Dear Readers: Here are some of my travel hints: * Call your credit-card company before you leave and put a travel alert on your card. While you’re at it, get the international customer-service number, as well.

You never know if you’ll need it. * Stuff your socks inside of your shoes. You’ll save space, and your shoes will retain their shape. * Toilet paper is not always available in a foreign country. Take those little tissue packets that they sell in drugstores. * If you can’t afford to lose it, financially or emotionally, don’t pack it. * Travel with only two pieces of luggage. More than two bags will make traveling a chore. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

The Book Club

The March meeting of the Book Club was held at Velma Riegel’s. The meeting began with the February minutes and roll call.

Retta Ripperger presented an interesting book review on “Walden� by Henry David Thoreau, who was born July 12, 1817, in Concord, Massachusetts. He was a graduate of Harvard College. His book “Walden� is considered a classic. He cut down trees and made his own 10-by-15-foot cabin with a fireplace. He also dug a 6-by-6-foot cellar that was 7 feet high. His garden was 2 1/2 acres near Walden pond. Thoreau loved nature and did a lot of research. He wrote about it in his book.

Thoreau had friends, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Horace Greely, but he mostly liked to be alone. His book tells how much people depend on nature. He went out in a rain storm to count tree rings which led to his death from bronchitis May 6, 1862, at the age of 44. He was never married and was buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, Massachusetts.

Books read by the group were: “Walden� by Henry David Thoreau, “Falling into Place� by Hattie Khan Kauffman, “My Not so Perfect Life� by Sophie Kinsella, “Belly Diet� by Travis Slock, M.D., “Rushing Water� by Danielle Steel, “Secret Garden� by Frances Hodgson Burnett, “In Times Like These� by Gail Kittleson, “The Award� by Danielle Steel and periodicals.

The meeting was closed and Riegel served delightful refreshments and fellowship was enjoyed. ——————
