Construction crews break ground Monday on a new installation of condominiums on Cottonwood Road. The condominiums are being built by Don Sonntag, a private developer from Atlantic.

A $6 increase in both resident and non-resident credit-hour rates beginning in fall 2016 was approved by the Southwestern Community College (SWCC) board Tuesday evening.

This is a 3.66 percent increase in resident and 3.5 percent increase in non-resident credit-hour rates.

The total tuition and fees per credit hour for FY2017 will be $170 for residents and $177 for non-residents.

Online courses have also increased to $165 per credit hour.

For comparison, in FY2016, tuition and fees per credit hour were $164 for residents, $171 for non-residents and $162 for online courses.

Factors leading to the increase in tuition and fees include the amount of state funding given to colleges for FY2017 and a desire to uphold the college’s quality of education.

“This increase is needed to attain the standards we have set, including attracting and retaining quality

instructors, enabling our students to benefit from the newest technology and providing a quality learning environment,” said Tia Samo, SWCC chief financial officer. “We feel like this $6 is in line with the other community colleges in the Samo state, and this keeps our rates still affordable.”

Four new fees were also approved for FY2017. One is a $55 fee for the CPR training of second-year welding technology students. The other three are $100 course fees to cover the costs of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) safety certifications for first-year welding technology, carpentry and electrical technology students.

Jerry Smith, SWCC board member and representative for Iowa Association of Community College Trustees (IACCT), said the amount of state funding affected the decision to increase tuition and fees.

The Iowa Legislature’s $1 billion higher education spending bill for FY2017 will likely cause tuition increases at the state’s three public universities and 15 community colleges. The University of Iowa, Iowa SWCC | 2A

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Strong storms including at least one tornado were moving through the Ohio River Valley on Tuesday, a day after about two dozen tornadoes were reported across the Plains, including deadly twisters that destroyed homes and overturned vehicles in Oklahoma.

Tornadoes are relatively common this time of year in parts of the central U.S., though the storms can strike in other locations and seasons if conditions are right.

Here is some information about the nation’s tornado

State University and University of Northern Iowa were given a $6.3 million overall increase.

Iowa community colleges received a $3 million increase.

“State general funding for community colleges is $201 million,” Smith said.

“That base number is kind of where we were at in 2009-10. Our asking at the beginning of the year was $10 million, which would have been a 5 percent increase.”

Instead, legislators decided on $3 million, which is about a 1.5 percent increase for community colleges.

“You can kind of scratch your head and say, ‘Did we have a good year?’ Well, we didn’t get $10 million, (but) we didn’t get zero,” Smith said. “There’s some

good news in that, and there’s some bad news in that.”

For FY2016, there was a zero percent increase in state funding for Iowa community colleges. So, Smith said a 1.5 percent increase for next year is a good thing, but it still comes with problems.

“Obviously, that’s not keeping up with our expenses, and consequently, we’re having to raise tuition some, which is universal for the 15 (community colleges),” Smith said.

It’s all about having a plan, and start planning early if possible.

To begin, buy a weather radio, which carries alerts from your local National Weather Service office (and many models can be programmed to sound an alert tone only if your area is threatened.) You should also clear a path to your basement or a closet or interior room on the lowest floor of your home. The golden rule: Put as many walls between you and the outside.

On the day of the storm, tune in to local broadcasters or your local NWS office and follow them and FEMA on social media if you will check it often enough. Avoid media that won’t automatically cut in with warnings for your area.

A watch means conditions are good for storms to develop. The National Weather Service says it means just that: Watch.

If you are home when a warning is issued, go to your safe place. You have been warned. Remember — as many walls as possible between you and the outside. Don’t go outside to confirm the storm is in your area. Spotters and forecasters have already done that.

If you are in car when a warning is issued, flee if it is safe to do so, but be aware thousands of others may have the same idea. If you are unable to get away, get out of your vehicle and into the lowest place possible (but watch for areas prone to flash flooding). Do not go under a bridge, where winds can actually be higher because of a change in air pressure where it passes beneath.

A twister 2.6 miles wide struck near El Reno, Oklahoma, on May 31, 2013, with winds measured at 290 mph about 500 feet above the ground. It was a bit larger than a tornado that hit Hallam, Nebraska, on May 22, 2004.

A May 3, 1999, storm that later killed 36 people at Moore, Oklahoma, had winds of about 302 mph at Bridge Creek, Oklahoma.

The wind speeds in these storms were measured using Doppler radar rather than traditional anemometers, which can be swept

The ALS Association Iowa Chapter has many programs and events that give Iowans the opportunity to get involved. Every year, the Iowa chapter holds Walk to Defeat ALS events in Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, the Quad Cities and Sioux City. The walks help raise funds for research to find a cure and to provide local programs and services to Iowans with ALS and their caregivers, such as the equipment loan closet, Quality of Life grants, home visits and ALS specific clinics.

In August, Iowans will have another opportunity to

participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge. Iowans’ support during the challenge over the past two years has significantly helped with the amount of care and services provided to fellow Iowans with ALS. Join the fight to defeat ALS by participating in a local walk, taking the Ice Bucket Challenge, volunteering to help a person living with the disease or by simply telling a friend about ALS. Visit www.alsaiowa. org for more information.

ALS, more commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks nerve cells and pathways in the brain and spinal cord. The ALS Association’s mission is leading the fight to treat and cure ALS through global research and nationwide advocacy while also empowering people with Lou Gehrig’s disease and their families to live fuller lives by providing them with compassionate care and support.

The nation’s midsection and the Southeast see the most storms, but some forecasters don’t like the term Tornado Alley because they prefer to make the point that storms can form anywhere.

Tornadoes have been reported in every state, including Alaska.

Storm Prediction Center data compiled in 2010 showed that, in the previous 30 years, Texas had the most storms, followed by Kansas, Florida and Oklahoma.

(Alaska had three.) Texas had the greatest number of killer tornadoes, too, followed by Arkansas, Tennessee and Missouri.

Among cities, more have occurred in Oklahoma City than anywhere else — more than 100 since 1893.

What is ALS?

STORM:

Who’s most at risk?

DES MOINES – Gov. Terry Branstad signed a proclamation declaring May as ALS Awareness Month.

This month, the ALS Association Iowa Chapter wants to educate Iowans about the disease and how they can help fight ALS. “Most people have heard of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) thanks to the Ice Bucket Challenge, but many are still unaware of the daily struggles of those living with the disease,” said Josh Nuss, executive director of the ALS Association Iowa Chapter. “During ALS Awareness Month, we want to help Iowans understand more about the devastating disease we are fighting to treat and cure.”

two to five years to live.

A progressive neurodegenerative disease with no known cause, cure or treatment, ALS destroys nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. As it progresses, those with the disease lose their ability to talk, walk, swallow and to breathe on their own. In most cases, the minds of those with ALS are unaffected, so they are able to understand and think like they were before their diagnosis.

While ALS generally affects people between ages 40 and 70, it can happen to anyone at any age and many younger Iowans are now facing a diagnosis. Nearly 90 percent of ALS cases are sporadic, affecting those with no family history of the disease. For an unknown reason, military veterans are twice as likely to develop ALS. “We witness every day how difficult this disease can be for Iowans and their friends and family mem-

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, May 11, 2016

Have piano, will travel: a coda to Mother’s Day “I’ve moved it 17 times and I’m not moving it again,” my father flatly declared.

“It” was my mother’s baby grand piano. I could not remember a time when it wasn’t at the center of our family life.

How many of my mother’s voice students stood beside it doing their breathing exercises and vocalizing?

How many times had we listened to Aunt Janelle play her “boogie-woogie” or “Three Blind Mice” in three different period composition styles?

How many wrong notes were endured as we children sat at the piano bench practicing for lessons with Miss Langley/Mrs.Lide?

Each of us children, in turn, polished that heavy three-legged black piece of furniture — only with lemon oil!

Before I could read, I was given piano lessons. When I learned to read I was fascinated by the stenciled gold letters above the keyboard: Francis Bacon on one line, New York on the second.

In my teen-age melancholy, I repeatedly played a simplified version of the first movement of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 until it must have driven everyone crazy.

Southern Exposure Janna Steed, Guest Columnist

But my mother never complained if one of her children was seated on that piano bench; nor did she ask us to do a chore instead. Besides, how often was her recording of the piece the soundtrack to our growing up?

Those memories covered more than 50 years. Now it was 2000. My mother had almost died in 1997.

Each of us lived in other states. I was on a waiting list for a liver transplant.

My brothers and I had persuaded our parents to move from a four-bedroom house in hometown Crossett, Arkansas, to a retirement center in Little Rock.

But the piano was not going with them, my father said, and who could blame him?

After Wade and Oneida were married in Benton, Arkansas, in June 1942, their wedding trip was a long drive to San Antonio, where Wade had a job running the shoe department at Sears & Roebuck and Oneida was a soloist in the Travis Park Methodist Church choir.

Then came the Dec. 7 attack on Pearl Harbor (which I, like Garrison Keillor, claim as the date of my conception).

My father was classified 4-F because of a hearing loss due to a childhood ear infection. His mother died suddenly a few weeks before the birth of his daughter in early August.

After several trips between San Antonio and Central Arkansas, he made one return with 13-year-old Aunt Janelle in tow. She had come to provide support around the time of birth. Oneida followed on the train with her newborn infant. She got so sick from food poisoning that soldiers on the train took care of the baby.

Sometime after this tumultuous move, the piano appeared on the scene. A good friend of my mother was moving with her husband to California, and she had a baby grand that must be left behind.

Dad wanted to stay out in the country with his newly widowed father in a little house with primitive facilities.

Mother wanted her friend’s piano.

She agreed to Dad’s plan IF he would buy that piano. Somehow, with his defense-related job at the Bauxite aluminum plant, he managed it.

The story was told many times, but I can’t remember what price was ne-

gotiated — probably a few hundred dollars at most.

After the war ended, my family moved to the paper- and lumber-mill town where Justin and Joel were born and we all grew up. “Mr. Tull” became the equivalent of Creston’s “Dr. Shoe.” “Mrs. Tull” became the town voice teacher and eventually also returned to public school teaching, which she continued until her retirement.

Those 20 years in Crossett included four moves, three of them within one block, and two of them involving moving houses to different lots.

In the late 1960s, my parents moved to Texarkana, living at several different addresses there. After retirement they moved back to Crossett. At first they lived next door to a former home, in the frame two-bedroom house that had belonged to our dear piano teacher and her husband.

Oneida felt crowded; so they moved across town to the biggest and nicest home they ever owned.

It was time to let go of that house – and the piano.

Mother once had arranged for broken and discolored ivories to be replaced and major repairs done to the “workings” inside. But now the instrument needed another overhaul,

exterior and interior.

I badly wanted to ship the old piano to my home in Iowa, but it wasn’t feasible. Neither of my brothers was interested in helping move Mr. Bacon anywhere.

Someone was inspired to contact Deanna Atkins, one of my mother’s favorite voice students, to see if she wanted it. Deanna was delighted.

Joel remembers that she paid my parents $500. Most importantly, she agreed to Dad’s terms: she had to arrange for the moving ...

As it turned out, my parents’ relocation to Little Rock was just in time, as within a short period they needed more care. My mother died in 2003, my father in 2014.

I’m glad he didn’t have to move that piano one more time, and also glad that it is still in the hands of someone who tenderly holds memories of my mother.

Every once in a while, I will hear music she sang or played on her record player. That happened last Saturday morning, the day before Mother’s Day, when I was tuned to a classical IPR station and caught the strains of the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2.

I turned up the volume, and I listened.

HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Los Angeles restaurants had a huge day Sunday where WASPs, Hispanics, Asians and Blacks enjoyed a Happy Mothers Day. It was just as festive in Hollywood restaurants where they enjoyed Happy Gender Non-Specific Primary Child Caregiver Day. The bathrooms were all marked Pot Luck.

Kim Kardashian boasted Monday she can cover her husband Kanye West’s $50 million debt load with her video game sales.

Forbes magazine just reported that the richest rap stars in the world are Diddy, Dr. Dre and Jay-Z. The least wealthy rap star in the world is L’il Gambling Problem.

White House adviser Ben Rhodes admitted Friday that the White House lied to the American people about the Iran nuclear deal. It’s a firestorm. You knew something was wrong at the time when the president assured Americans that if we like our nuclear security, we can keep our nuclear security.

Donald Trump angered Hispanics Thursday by tweeting a photo of himself eating a taco salad at his desk and wishing everyone a Happy Cinco de Mayo. It turned out to be an ethnic joke on us Anglo-Saxons. When it’s your God-given task to run this planet you only have time to eat at your desk.

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Donald Trump announced Monday he can win the presidential election without a united GOP behind him. The man has never lacked for self-confidence. When Donald Trump looks up into the night sky and gazes at all the stars in the Milky Way, he realizes how insignificant everyone else is.

Ohio Senator Rob Portman emerged Monday as a name on Donald Trump’s short list of likely GOP vice presidential running mates. He’s a classy, well-liked Anglican who could help Donald Trump win the election. Rob Portman will bring the much-needed white Republican vote to the ticket.

House Speaker Paul Ryan set off a furor Friday when he said he was not ready yet to support and embrace Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy. Trump’s gaining every day. The latest poll says sixty percent of Republicans would like to see Trump as president, if only out of morbid curiosity.

The White House sued North Carolina over its bathroom law that requires everyone to use the same gender bathroom that’s on their birth certificate. Just imagine the president’s fury. If that

law was federal law, the White House bathrooms would have to be marked Men, Women and Kenyans.

A Florida judge ruled Monday the state’s death penalty is unconstitutional because it does not require a unanimous jury verdict.

The state had bent over backward to make the executions as humane as possible. Thanks to the recent deregulation, you get to choose your own electric company.

Mexico’s Supreme Court ruled Monday that drug lord Juan El Chapo Guzman can be transferred to a U.S. prison where he would face U.S. charges for drug trafficking. He could be extradited any day now. Hopefully the U.S. prison is located near a coal mine so we can use the tunnel after he escapes.

Penn State was reported to have settled a sexual abuse case against Jerry Sandusky 40 years ago. He seduced boys in the team shower.

It’s a crime so heinous that another man named Jerry Sandusky has legally changed his name to Isis bin Laden to improve his reputation in the community.

Vladimir Putin presided over a military parade in Moscow Tuesday marking the end of World War II. In Russia, Putin can order polonium poison put in your tea and kill you whether you want it or not, you have no choice. But here in America, you get to choose your poison, Hillary or Trump.

Iowa Cattlemen’s Foundation awards four scholarships during the final judging process April 2 in Ames. “We had an excellent group of applicants for these scholarships,� said Mary Greiman, youth and outreach coordinator for ICF. “They are great representatives of our beef industry, and it is exciting and encouraging to see this caliber of young cattlemen and women going out and promoting the beef industry.�

Martinez is the daughter of Rene Martinez and Tracy Kelley. She plans on attending Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri, where she will major in agricultural education and agricultural business. She chose this field of study because of the huge impact her Vo-Ag instructor had on her. It will also allow Martinez to continue her passion with her cow herd. Her presentation discussed the veterinary feed directive.

Martinez With these new awards, the Iowa Cattlemen’s Foundation has provided over $76,500 in scholarship support to Iowa youth since 1994. Show support for the industry and its future by making a tax deductible donation to the Iowa Cattlemen’s Foundation to ensure the continuation of our youth programs.

iVantage names Greater Regional a top 100 critical access hospital Greater Regional Medical Center (GRMC) was recently named one of iVantage Health Analytics’ Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) in the United States. “GRMC is proud of the efforts made by our physicians and staff who have contributed to our achieving this designation,� said Monte Neitzel, CEO. “Our mission and commitment at GRMC is to deliver the highest quality health care and service. By receiving this recognition, it reaffirms our commitment to the communities we serve.� “A top 100 national rating did not come about without the commitment of our entire health care team who daily go above and beyond to deliver outstanding care and service,� said Dave Driskell, board chair. “GRMC is truly a regional medical center with

B&B

a very strong local physician presence, which is strengthened by our extensive in-house specialty services and our growing service lines.�

GRMC scored in the top 100 of CAHs on iVantage’s Hospital Strength index. The index is the industry’s most comprehensive rating of rural and CAHs. The results recognize that the top 100 CAHs provide a safety net to communities across rural America – measuring them across more than 70 different performance metrics, including quality, outcomes, patient perspective, affordability, population risk and efficiency.

The list of the top 100 CAHs and more information about the study can be found at www. iVantageINDEX.com.

“Rural healthcare deserves the same performance analysis as all provider performance,� said Michael Topchik, senior vice president of iVantage Health Analytics. “It plays a vital role for communities across America, serving more than 60 million people. The services provided in rural America are similar to those needed in any major metropolitan area, yet the volumes and economic resources provide little economies of scale, making for little benefit from scale. These top 100 CAHs exhibit a focused concern for their community benefits and needs, regardless of scale, reimbursement and people’s ability to pay.�

Can I take this to a higher quart?

Dear Heloise: Can you use a 5- to 6-quart SLOW COOKER instead of a 3-quart slow cooker when a recipe calls for a 3-quart? – M.D., via email Good question, and the answer is yes! But there are a few hints to remember. Ideally, a slow cooker should be filled at least half-full when cooking, so you will need to reduce the cook time by a third or so. Watch carefully so the food doesn’t burn.

Try a test run! This is what I’d do: Keep an eye on the slow cooker the first time you “test” your recipe. Don’t leave the house!

Or double the recipe and freeze some for another meal. You will know you have a home-cooked meal in the freezer. This is a good plan, especially when meat and chicken are on sale. – Heloise NO-MIX CAKE Dear Heloise: I remember a cake recipe you have where you do not mix the ingredients, but rather dump them into a pan.

National Digest

OKC wins SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Russell Westbrook couldn’t be stopped down the stretch, not even when the San Antonio Spurs were trying to foul him.

Westbrook had 35 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the Spurs 95-91 on Tuesday night and take a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.

Durant added 23 points as the Thunder won for the second time in San Antonio in the series. Oklahoma City can close out the series Thursday in Game 6 at home.

The Spurs have rallied from a 3-2 deficit only once in their prolific playoff history, winning the final two games in 2008 to defeat the then New Orleans Hornets.

Unanimous MVP OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — From the jaw-dropping half-court heaves that somehow sink through the net to the dazzling drives and zippy passes from every which way, Stephen Curry’s desire to keep getting better while always trying to entertain at every stop has the Golden State superstar being mentioned right along with the best ever, Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.

And he just turned 28. There might still be so much more for the 6-foot-3, baby-faced point guard whose ability to make it on the big NBA stage was initially questioned by some.

On Tuesday, Curry accomplished something those former greats never did: He became the first unanimous NBA MVP, earning the award for the second straight season after leading the defending champion Warriors to a record-setting season.

Curry is the 11th player in league history to be voted MVP in consecutive seasons and the first guard since Steve Nash in 2004-05 and 2005-06.

Curry received 1,310 points from the 130 media voters from the U.S. and Canada.

Curry was followed in the vote by Kawhi Leonard of San Antonio, LeBron James of Cleveland and Oklahoma City teammates Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Curry’s teammate Draymond Green was seventh.

Yanks rally NEW YORK (AP) — Aroldis Chapman got his first save for New York, capping a backand-forth 10-7 win over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night as the Yankees overcame three home runs and five RBIs from Lorenzo Cain.

Brett Gardner doubled home the tiebreaking run off Kelvin Herrera (0-1) in a three-run eighth inning.

Chapman returned from a 29-game domestic violence suspension on Monday.

It started out so promising.

Fourteen minutes into Creston’s home match against Class 1A seventh-ranked Carroll Kuemper Catholic here Tuesday, Gavin Woods put a goal in the net off an assist from Henrik Schulz.

The 1-0 Creston lead held up until halftime, as the 2-10 Panthers were solidly blocking the offensive attacks by the 10-2 Knights.

Then, when Kuemper’s Benjamin Vonnahme tied it five minutes into the second half on an assist from Colby Wiederin, momentum seemed to shift to the Knights’ side.

Kobe Eischeid, Andrew Evans and Collin Slattery scored unanswered Kuemper goals over the next 25 minutes to take command in a 4-1 Hawkeye 10 Conference victory. The win improved the Knights to 3-2 in league play, while the Panthers fell to 0-6 with one regular season match left at home Monday against Harlan.

Creston coach Lucian Diaconu said his team’s spirit seemed to be broken when it lost the advantage, knowing the firepower in the Knights’ lineup.

“In the first half we did a great job talking and with CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON Creston junior Tyler Peters (14) settles the ball in a collision with Nicholas Wanniger possession,” Diaconu said.

“In the second half, we had some mistakes and once they tied us, knowing they were a really good team, that brought us down mentally,” the Panther coach said. “We committed some mistakes and they scored on us. We played well overall. Kuemper is a good team and made us pay for our mistakes.”

An improving Ben Irr, coming off a leg injury, hit the cross bar twice with hard shots, and Evan Jacobson’s line shot on a free kick barely got knocked away by Kuemper goalkeeper Timothy Sibbel.

“I was glad to see Ben show up and play like that,” Diaconu said. “(Goalkeeper) Payton Pryor played really well for us, in the first half, especially.”

Pryor finished with 14 saves. Irr had a team-high four shots, three on goal.

Woods had three shots, with two on goal.

The JV match ended in a 1-1 tie as Patrick Normandeau scored for Creston.

Atlantic’s late goal sinks Panther girls

One of the teams was bound to rise in the Hawkeye 10 Conference.

When Morgan Barkley scored for Atlantic with 10 minutes left to break a 2-2 tie, it was the Trojans gaining their second league victory, leaving Creston at 1-5 in the conference and 3-10 overall.

Atlantic is 2-4 and 3-9.

Atlantic took a 2-0 lead in the first half on goals by Sadie Welter and Danyelle Hass-Hunter.

Creston responded with a penalty kick goal by Grace Root at the 21:34 mark after a hand ball violation by Atlantic in the box.

The Panthers tied it 2-2 on

die Travis about 20 minutes into the second half. It remained a deadlock until Atlantic made a counter run on a Creston push with 10 minutes left.

With only two officials working the match, Creston coach Kim Lauffer questioned a key call out of bounds that led to the decisive goal.

“The ball appeared to come off of their player and they ruled a throw-in for them in our defensive third,” Lauffer said. “The only sideline official was way down in our offensive end, and the field official was on the other side. We didn’t think GIRLS | 8A

RED OAK — A couple of early upset losses derailed Creston/O-M’s hopes of upsetting Glenwood for the boys Hawkeye 10 Conference tennis title here Tuesday.

The Rams won with 25 points, while the Panthers ended up seventh with 11 points.

None of the four entries for the Panthers managed to get through the first two rounds unscathed.

The No. 1 doubles team of Jacob Cook and Jaden Driskell was knocked off by Grant Podhajsky and Cooper McDermott of Atlantic in a tiebreaker in the first round. No. 1 singles player Ryan Kucera sailed 10-4 in his opener, then lost to second-seeded Travis Miller of St. Albert, 10-3.

Boone has beaten Ballard — the only other team to beat Creston/O-M this season — and its only loss is to reigning state team champion Waterloo Columbus.

Creston fell to 8-2 with the loss.

“I was very pleased with all of our girls’ matches,” said Creston/O-M assistant Amanda Plymale. “We played the best tennis I have seen this season so far.

Dustin Merritt scored two points in seventh place at No. 2 singles, and the No. 2 doubles team of T r i s t o n Kucera Davidson and Sam Eagan finished eighth to earn one point.

“Unfortunately, we did not play our best as a team,” Cooper said. “Glenwood was upset in an early match and the door was open to take advantage, but we were unable to do so.”

Glenwood got a championship from its No. 1 doubles team of Aaron Bertini and Adam Konfrst in winning its first conference title since 2012, and second in school history.

Freshman Reed Miller won the No. 2 singles title as St. Albert scored 16 points in fourth place.

Creston’s Kucera topped Dalton Stoaks of Shenandoah, 8-4, in the third-place match.

“Ryan faced three number one players today from our conference and beat two of them,” Cooper said.

“He was able to hold his seed and competed well with Miller from St. Albert.

It was a great day of competition that sets up Ryan to do well at districts on Thursday at Shenandoah.”

Cook and Driskell, the Panthers’ top doubles team, lost their first two matches but rallied to shut out St. Albert’s Cooper Bowman and Nathan Rhedin, 8-0.

They edged us in a tiebreaker today. Hopefully, Jacob and Jaden can turn it around for Thursday, because we need points out of them to advance as a team.”

Creston/O-M must place in the top three as a team at the district to advance to team district competition on Saturday.

Merritt, unseeded, went 2-2 at No. 2 singles in taking seventh place.

“Dustin had to play the number four seed right away,” Cooper said. “He faced a lot of kids that were older and higher on their team’s ladder than he is. His strokes looked really good, and i felt like he competed well.”

Davidson and Eagan won their first match, 10-2, before dropping three straight in taking eighth place.

“Triston and Sam played doubles together for the first time and it was a tough day after they did a good job in their first match,” Cooper said.

it was off of us. Next thing you know, the ball is put in play and goes off of us out of bounds, for a corner kick by them. That resulted in a goal for them. We didn’t play the corner kick as well as we could have.”

Lauffer said it was frustrating to fall behind 2-0, because play on the field seemed to be in Creston’s favor.

“We felt like we were dominating the play and outshot them,” Lauffer said.

GLENWOOD — The Creston/O-M boys golf team was also denied a repeat Hawkeye 10 Conference championship here Tuesday at the Hawkeye 10 Conference Meet.

Creston/O-M tied with Denison-Schleswig with a score of 339, but Denison-Schleswig took seventh place based on best score among fifth golfers, with Creston/O-M taking eighth.

Junior Kyle Somers finished fifth overall individually for the Panther, shooting 37 on both the front nine and Somers the back nine for an 18-hole score of 74. Glenwood’s Ryan Leath and Kuemper Catholic’s Nate Mertz each shot 71, with Leath taking medalist honors and Mertz finishing runner-up.

“Kyle is playing really solid golf,” Creston/O-M assistant coach Jon Thomson said. “A few putts burning

the edge could have gone.

He has really been doing a great job of managing the course and playing smart.”

Gavin Sickels shot a 40 on the front nine and came back with a 44 on the back nine for a round of 84, while Michael Stults shot a round of 84. Brenden McDowell rounded out the team scoring with his score of 93.

Cody Crawford finished with a 100 and Blake Eddy withdrew after the front nine.

FOOD

ANCHO CHILE RUBBED SMOKED BEEF BRISKET Prep time: 1 hour Cook time: 11-13 hours Rest time: 1-2 hours Total time: 13-16 hours

1 Whole Omaha Steaks Brisket for smoking

2 cups white vinegar 2/3 cup yellow mustard 3/4 cup Omaha Steaks Ancho Chile Rub

4 cups Ancho Chile Smoking Spritzer, divided (recipe below)

8 cups apple or cherry wood chips, soaked in water Remove brisket from bag and rinse with white vinegar then rinse with water. Dry completely using paper towels.

Slather brisket generously with yellow mustard. Rub generously with ancho chile rub and inject with 1 cup Ancho Chile Smoking Spritzer.

Prepare smoker using 1 chimney of pure lump charcoal fully lit and one chimney of pure lump charcoal unlit.

Make sure water pan is full and adjust vents until smoker maintains a temperature between 225 and 250 F. Place brisket on smoker fat side up and brush smoking spritzer over top.

Every hour, check smoker temp, squirt with smoking spritzer and add handful of wood chips.

After 3 hours, flip brisket fat side down and squirt with spritzer.

After 6 hours, flip brisket fat side up. Wrap heavy duty foil around the last 3-4 inches of brisket tip to prevent it from drying out. Restock water pan and add lump charcoal as needed. Adjust vents until temperature is between 225 and 250 F. Beginning at 8 hours, check internal temperature every hour and apply spritzer and wood chips as needed.

Between 11-13 hours, when internal temperature is between 195 and 200 F, if fork slides easily into brisket, it is done.

Let brisket rest for 1-2 hours before slicing and serving.

ANCHO CHILE RUBBED SMOKED PORK BUTT Prep time: 1 hour Cook time: 8-10 hours Rest time: 1 hour Total time: 10-12 hours

1 Omaha Steaks Whole Pork Butt

2 cups white vinegar 1/2 cup yellow mustard 1/2 cup Omaha Steaks Ancho Chile Rub

4 cups Ancho Chile Smoking Spritzer, divided (recipe below)

8 cups apple or cherry wood chips, soaked in water Score top fat so it will melt into pork while smoking and allow more rub to get into meat. Rub pork with white vinegar then rinse with water. Pat dry with clean paper towels.

Rub pork butt with yellow mustard. Rub pork butt with ancho chile rub. Inject pork with 10-12 ounces of Ancho Chile Smoking Spritzer.

Set up smoker with 1 chimney using unlit lump charcoal and 2 chimneys using lit lump charcoal.

Adjust vents in smoker until temperature settles between 225 and 250 F. Place pork butt fat side up and add a lot of wood chips.

Every half hour, add more wood chips and spritz pork with smoking spritzer.

After 2 hours, insert remote thermometer probes. Be careful not to let thermometer touch bone to prevent false readings.

After 5 hours, place pork in foil pan and liberally coat with spritzer. Wrap pan tightly with foil.

Continue cooking without adding wood chips or opening smoker until thermometer hits 190 F (for sliced meat) or 200 F (for pulled meat), about 8-10 hours total.

Let rest 1 hour before serving.

ANCHO CHILE SMOKING SPRITZER Makes: 4 cups

2 cups apple juice

1 cup cranberry juice

1 cup canola oil

2 tablespoons red hot pepper sauce 1/2 cup Omaha Steaks Ancho Chile Rub Combine all ingredients and mix well.

what’s cookin’ in RAGU In Italian cuisine, a ragu is a meat-based sauce, which is commonly served with pasta. This ragu can be made with ground beef, pork, veal or a combination of each and tastes even better the day after it is made. It can easily be doubled and kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. Serve with salad greens topped with black olives and croutons, your favorite dressing, garlic bread and finish the meal off with a dip of Italian spumoni ice cream. Smakelijk eten!

PENNE WITH BEEF RAGU 6 Tbsp. olive oil 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped 3 large garlic cloves, minced 1 carrot, finely chopped 1 celery stalk, finely chopped 1 tsp. minced fresh rosemary - I used 1/2 to 3/4 tsp. dried rosemary 3/4 lb. ground beef - I used 1 lb. of 90% ground beef 1/2 cup dry red wine 3 Tbsp. tomato paste 2 1/2 cups canned whole plum tomatoes, chopped, with juices - I used a 28 oz. can of whole roma tomatoes 2 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. salt, plus more, to taste - start with a Tbsp. first, then add more to your taste 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper, plus more, to taste 1 lb. penne or rigatoni - I used rigatoni I also added 1/2 tsp. dried basil and 1 Tbsp. sugar to the sauce THE SAUCE In a large, deep fry pan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, celery and rosemary and saute until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Add 1 to 2 Tbsp. water if needed to keep the pan from drying out and the vegetables from browning.

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it is browned, about 10 minutes. Drain any fat. Add the wine and tomato paste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the alcohol has evaporated, about 4 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low and add the tomatoes, the 1 tsp. salt and the 1/2 tsp. pepper. Cover partially and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick and aromatic, about 1 hour.

THE PASTA Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the 2 Tbsp. salt and the pasta. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until al dente, according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and add to the sauce, stirring to combine.

Warm briefly over low heat to blend the flavors. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Serves 4. This really made a lot so it should serve at least 6-8, as we had plenty left over for another meal. what’s cookin’ in kyp’s kitchen sponsored by:
