Five-year-old Bobby Hiatt smiles on his bike with his mother, Amy Thompson, and sister, Brooklynn Hiatt, outside their home in Creston. Bobby is scheduled to undergo neurosurgery in June for Chiari malformation.

Amy Thompson sits on the front step of her home in Creston, watching her 5-year-old, Bobby Hiatt, and 4-year-old, Brooklynn Hiatt, ride their bikes in the street. They giggle and shriek as they peddle along.

“Bobby, you’re supposed to have your helmet on,” Thompson calls out.

“No, I’m not!” Bobby yells back.

“Yes, you are. You’re not listening,” Thompson said.

She smiles. “See? Defiant.”

Bobby grudgingly returns to his mom, who helps him tighten the strap on his helmet.

“He just learned to ride his bike without training wheels last week, so he’s all happy about that,” Thompson said.

Bobby’s giggles, shrieks and high energy Monday evening seemed to negate the truth of what’s happening inside his head.

The first signs “Last winter, Bobby started having crazy outbursts in the middle of the night, sometimes early in the morning when he’d wake up, where he’d scream and grab his ears and look and point,” Thompson said.

“He’d be screaming for 10 or 15 minutes. I couldn’t get him to say anything; he’d just scream and point.”

Bobby first described it as “a lady screaming in his head.” But later on, he described it as a ringing in his head, while simultaneously, it appears everything is moving far away, and it scares him.

“It happened again and again, and he’s always had headaches but I never really thought anything of it except over-exertion while playing,” Thompson said.

“HE’D BE screaming for 10 or 15 minutes. I couldn’t get him to say anything; he’d just scream and point.”

SHANNON CITY — New information has been released in the fatality accident that killed Angel Daub, 25, of Creston April 27 near Ringgold-Union Street.

According to an updated Iowa State Patrol report, alcohol and drug tests were done on Daub. The blood alcohol content of a tested blood sample from Daub was at .143, nearly double the .08 per se limit.

According to the report, Daub, driving a 1997 Ford north on 190th Avenue, failed to obey a posted stop sign at the intersection of 190th Avenue and Ringgold-Union Street, vaulted over the T-intersection and collided with the ditch embankment on the north side of the roadway.

Deaths Peggy Sweeney Britt

Peggy L. Sweeney, 64, of Britt, formerly of Creston, passed away Friday, May 20, 2016, at Westview Care CenSweeney ter in Britt.

Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m.

Saturday, May 28, at Powers Funeral Home, junction of highways 34 and 25, in Creston. Burial will take place at Graceland Cemetery in Creston. Pastor Mary O’Riley will officiate. Open visitation will be from 2 to 7 p.m. Friday, May 27, with family receiving friends from 5 to 7 p.m. at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorial contributions may be directed to Westview Care Center in Britt. Online condolences may be made at www. powersfh.com.

Peggy Louise Morris was born July 31, 1951, to Florbelle Patterson and Hal Dean Morris. She grew up on a farm in Kent attending the Kent school. She graduated from Creston High School in 1969, and married Larry Sweeney in October of that same year.

They had two daughters, Holly and Betsy, and lived in and around the Creston area.

Peggy was a homemaker and babysitter while she was married. Later on, as she pursued an accounting degree at SWCC, she worked various jobs in Creston to provide for her daughters. She was best known for working at Trolli Gummi Bear Factory in Creston, as she would provide her

him and do more blood work, and it came back normal the second time. But with the description, the pediatrician said she believed it was neurological, and she wanted an MRI.” The MRI revealed the answer. Bobby was diagnosed with Chiari malformation (CM), a condition in which brain tissue extends into the spinal canal. It occurs when part of the skull is abnormally small or misshapen, pressing on the brain and forcing it downward.

“Part of the cerebellum, the back part of the coordination center of the brain, starts to push down through the foramen magnum, that’s the bony Young part of the brain, and that’s what causes the problem,” said Dr. Tom Young, a private Creston doctor who specializes in internal medicine. “There’s treatment available, but there’s no real cure.”

There are four types of CM, and Bobby has type I, Thompson said. Type I is the most common form of CM.

daughters, nieces and nephew with an endless supply of Gummi Bears. She retired from Trolli in December 1996, when a neurological disease took over. She continued to live at her home in Creston until moving to Westview Care Center in Britt, where she has resided for the last 11 years.

Peggy loved music and dancing. She took dance lessons as a child and in high school she was a proud member of the Peppers. Late in life when the disease took away her ability to walk, she was known to dance in her wheelchair. Her smile and positive energy were infectious. Peggy also loved sports and would cheer for her KC Chiefs and KC Royals.

Her biggest love was being a grandma. She would visit her daughters and grandchildren any chance she could. In the end, this disease took many things from her, but it could never take away her sweet, loving spirit or her beautiful smile. She was the epitome of strength and perseverance.

She will live and dance in our hearts forever.

Left to cherish Peggy’s memory are her two daughters, Holly (Aaron) Cottrell of Johnston and Betsy (Andrew) Hunt of Britt; her five grandchildren, Dylan, Logan, and Macie Cottrell of Johnston and Nicholas and Tristan Hunt of Britt; her sister Susan Loudon of Ankeny; her brother Monty Morris of Lenox; sister-in-law Carmen Morris of Ankeny; her former husband Larry Sweeney of Creston; numerous nieces and nephews; and the staff and residents of Westview Care Center in Britt.

Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, Hal Dean and Florbelle “Pat” Morris; her brother Paul Morris; brotherin-law Jim Loudon and her nephew Thaddaeus Loudon.

“A lot of kids don’t live long with the other types, but this one is so mild, you don’t notice it at birth,” Thompson said. “You don’t see any difference in head circumference or anything like that. But, it’s bad enough that it creates problems – headaches that are frequent and get worse as you age, all kinds of neurological problems, speech problems eventually and coordination problems.”

According to his doctor, Bobby’s brain is protruding 10 millimeters.

“It doesn’t sound like much, but I guess that’s quite a bit,” Thompson said. “We went to a neurosurgeon, and they want to do surgery.”

Twilla Lininger Tingley

Twilla Lininger, 95, of Tingley died Monday, May 23, 2016, at Clearview Home in Mount Ayr. Services will be 11 Lininger a.m. Thursday, May 26, at Watson-Armstrong Funeral Home, 205 W. Monroe St., in Mount Ayr with the Rev. Bill Armstrong officiating. Burial is in Tingley Cemetery in Tingley. Visitation with family present will be from 10 to 11 a.m. Thursday at the funeral home. Memorials are to HCI Care Services in Mount Ayr. Online condolences may be left at www.watsonarmstrongfh.com.

Twilla, daughter of Leon and Lula (Fullerton) Hall, was born Sept. 19, 1920, on a farm near Atkinson, Nebraska. The family moved to Tingley when Twilla was 3 years old. She graduated from Tingley High School.

Following high school graduation, Twilla was too young to obtain a teachers certificate, so she took a year of post-graduate work in high school and worked as a part-time employee in the telephone office.

After a summer at Iowa State Teachers College in Iowa Falls, she taught the Eighme Country School for two years.

In the fall of 1940, she enrolled at Tarkio College and received a teacher’s certificate in May

1942. The years of 1942-44 were spent in Wichita, Kansas, where she worked as an inspector of airplanes at the Beech Aircraft Corporation.

On Oct. 22, 1944, Twilla married Keith Clarence Lininger in Phenix City, Alabama. They lived in Belton, Texas, where Keith was an instructor at Camp Hood until the end of the war. They returned to Tingley in November 1945, and moved to the farm where they resided until moving to Clearview Home in Mount Ayr in September 2009.

Twilla was a lifetime member of Tingley United Presbyterian Church and United Presbyterian Women. She served as a substitute teacher in local schools and was a member of the Tingley unit of American Legion Auxiliary.

Twilla served as chairperson of Ringgold County Soil and Water Conservation Art Contest for many years. Twilla was a member of the T Club, Chapter CK, P.E.O., Antiques Club and Doll Club.

Twilla is survived by her daughter Quita (David) Koehler of Winterset; son Curtis (Terry) Lininger of Tingley; grandchildren, Kelle (Cory) Lehman, Brandi (Tory) Shay and Angie (Cassidy) Shay; two step-grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; six step-great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

Twilla was preceded in death by her husband Keith in 2009; grandson Kenneth; parents; brother Marvin (Grace) Hall; sister Vienna Richards; brother-in-law Donald (Dorothy) Lininger and nephew Jim Hall.

Amy said the neurosurgeon would like Bobby to be a couple years older, but he does think it is important for Bobby to have surgery now rather than wait until his symptoms are much worse or he decreases developmentally. He has already had one full-blown seizure and has been losing coordination.

“At first, I panicked, and there’s still that part of me that goes, ‘Should I wait?’

But, I don’t want to see a depletion and regret it,” Thompson said. “And, if we wait, he might be in school and would have to miss probably two months and flunk. I want to keep his life as normal as possible.”

Finances

Bobby is scheduled to have surgery June 27 in Omaha, Nebraska. He will face a six- to eight-week period of recovery that the neurosurgeon, Dr. Mark Puccioni, said will involve excruciating pain for Bobby.

“The surgery is going to be about four or five hours. They said it’ll take longer with him because his blood vessels are a little harder to find in his brain because he’s young,” Thompson said. “Dr. Puccioni is supposed to be one of the best neurosurgeons in the country, but he said there’s always that risk for bleeding out and passing away. He’s pretty confident, though.”

Thompson is a single mother caring for her two children on one income. She works for CHI Health Mercy in LPN clinic nursing and travels to Corning, Lenox and Bedford for work.

She had to go back to college late in life to become an LPN, leaving her with college debt on top of the costs of raising a family. Right now, she can only afford to have her children wear clothes that have been donated to them.

For the surgery, most of Thompson’s family and friends are unable to help out financially, so she is covering costs by herself with help from people in the community who have been donating money and selling T-shirts that say “Team Bobby” on the front and “Too much brain to contain” on the back.

Thompson said the support from the community has been tremendous, especially the Early Childhood Center, local daycares and Crest Baptist Church, where Bobby and Brooklynn are involved in children’s ministry.

“My biggest thing is keeping us good through the summer financially,” Thompson said. “I just want us to stay normal and not have to worry about my electricity being shut off or losing my car or things like that.”

Benefit dinner A benefit dinner for Bobby will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. tonight at Crest Baptist Church, 1211 N. Poplar St., in Creston. Hy-Vee will supply hamburgers and hot dogs, and additional food and drinks will be available for a free-will offering.

a full recovery and live a normal life, but each case is different, so we don’t know until after the surgery what kind of life he’s going to have and if he’ll be able to do things like play contact sports. He’s a wild boy. He loves bull riding and car racing shows and football, so Mom always worries about that.”

During his recovery, Bobby will have to lay low to avoid serious repercussions, including the possibility of a stroke, Thompson said.

“The scary part is the surgery itself, and then the recovery time is going to be excruciating,” Thompson said. “Prayers can always be needed.”

She added: “Everybody’s got their journey, and this is ours now. I’m trying to be positive about it, but it is stressful.”

Accident

charged with felon in possession of a firearm, intimidation with a dangerous weapon, reckless use of a firearm, disorderly conduct, and public intoxication 1:31 a.m.

Sunday in Adair County.

According to an Adair County Sheriff report, a deputy was dispatched to 607 Stuart Street in Adair in regards to shots fired.

Upon the deputy’s arrival, the reporting party said two subjects, Franklin and Sean Conn, were at the residence when an altercation occurred. The witness said Franklin and Conn were asked to leave and at that time Franklin pulled a handgun and fire multiple shots.

When the deputy arrived on scene, Franklin and Conn had already fled the scene and were supposed to be headed back to their motel room, room 214 at the Budget Inn. Franklin returned to the motel and realized he had left his phone at the residence. Conn and Franklin then returned to the property at 607 Stuart Street. At that time, deputies returned to the property and entered into a foot pursuit with Franklin. Franklin was taken into custody and no firearm was located at that time.

Deputies then executed a search warrant at room 214 at the Budget Inn in Adair.

There deputies found the clothing Franklin had been described as wearing and the firearm that had been described from the scene.

Franklin was being held on $5,000 bond.

No citations were issued after an accident 12:40 p.m.

Friday.

According to a Creston Police report, Larry Gale Latham, 61, of Creston was backing a 2010 Honda out of a driveway toward South Walnut Street when his vehicle struck a 2013 Ford properly parked behind his vehicle in the same driveway.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, May 25, 2016

Tebow statue reflects southern values HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Phil Mickelson agreed to pay the SEC a $1 million fine to pay back profits from an insider stock trading deal involving Clorox stock. You can’t make it up. Leave it to a guy who’s a golf pro and a Mormon and lives in La Jolla to get busted investing in a product that makes things even whiter.

Senator Marco Rubio proposed Friday replacing the statue of Confederate General Kirby Smith that represents Florida in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda with a statue of Tim Tebow. Isn’t that perfectly silly? Recent arrivals to America believe that college football is the most important thing in the South.

Donald Trump gave a speech at the NRA convention Friday accepting the NRA’s endorsement for president. Protesters outside held up signs saying toddlers with guns have killed 23 people this year. Isn’t it time we require a

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

background check before allowing people to have toddlers?

A Washington Post poll released Friday shows that 90 percent of Native American Indians are not offended by the name Washington Redskins. Ten percent say the name connotes racism, slavery, ethnic cleansing and conquest. They want to change the team name to the Maryland Redskins.

The Nashville Tennessean said that two pastors in Tennessee were arrested over the weekend for answering an online ad to have sex with an underage girl. What idiots. The Internet is a dark and mysterious place where men are men, where women are men, and

where children are FBI agents.

Boston’s Thomas Manning was reported recovering quickly Monday after receiving America’s first penis transplant. He said he feels the nerve endings and that there’s life in it already. The funniest thing that happened is that he asked a nurse for a doughnut and she thought he was hungry.

Prince’s death due to his opiate dependency last month triggered an industry awareness of the epidemic. Just last week, Cigna Health Insurance committed to cutting payments for opiate prescriptions by twenty-five percent in the next three years. They’ve cancelled Charlie Sheen’s policy.

Donald Trump soared in the polls to tie Hillary Clinton in the Real Clear Politics average of all polls Monday. He’s refuting Hillary’s claim he doesn’t have the temperament to be president.

Donald Trump clearly demonstrated over the past year that he can accept criticism, just not of

himself.

Donald Trump made a TV campaign ad with a clip of Juanita Broaddrick describing how Bill Clinton raped her. The former president also bombed Serbia into submission then recently used his speaker’s fees to loot Wall Street.

Six times the Nobel Prize Committee named him Viking of the Week.

Bernie Sanders took his campaign to California Monday where he’s become a cult hero on the left. His campaign dolls are collector items. At rallies they’re handing out Bernie Sanders Action Figures that are so lifelike they Sanders get up five times in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

President Obama’s tried to honor all the major religions in Asia

during his trip this week. The Japanese are Shinto, Indonesians are Muslim, Australians are Christians, Thais are Buddhists, while the Vietnamese wear a little artillery cannon around their necks with Jane Fonda sitting on it.

Hillary Clinton campaigned hard Monday to shake off Bernie Sanders tying her to Wall Street interests. Inside deals are fueling Congress’s low approval rating.

Wall Street’s biggest concern is that the value of U.S. congressmen will drop so low that ordinary citizens will be able to buy them, too.

Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe is under FBI probe for taking illegal campaign donations while on the board of the Clinton Foundation. Virginia’s previous governor Bob McDonnell is appealing his sentence. The state’s license plate has been amended to read Virginia Is for Lovers of Illinois Politics.

Why some people live like they do WOODSTOCK, Ga. — I like to go back to Metro Atlanta often enough to remember why I left. Atlanta, of course, is now one hellishly dense suburb that stretches from Chattanooga to Columbus with a tightly stitched tapestry of chain crap and traffic snarls in between. I creep along and remember.

In rush hour, it isn’t easy to find the motel where I’ll pay out the nose to stay one night for the reminder. They have hidden it behind branch banks and tony coffee shops, playing fast and loose with the Internet description of a location just off the interstate. When I do find my room and a beer, it’s tough to make myself leave again to try to sell a book.

But I do. I always do.

The group at the store is small but sweet, except for one miffed man who has waited 20 years to upbraid me for missing a lunch appointment. Afterward I have supper with two good friends who have each braved the traffic and driven an hour from their respective towns, doubling the “crowd” in the process. Thank goodness for friends.

It’s fair, really. I didn’t leave my heart in Atlanta, and readers know that and remember. Of the 1,456 columns I wrote while living here — who’s counting? — about half rhapsodized about rural things, something most Atlanta residents don’t want to hear.

Early the next day I drive out of Georgia, slowly, another rush

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

hour. It’s swimming upstream with a child on my back. It is easier to maneuver in Birmingham, and I locate the bookstore quickly.

When I push the door to arrive early for a noon signing, I see a flyer with my book and an announcement of a 6 to 8 p.m. event. The confusion is corrected, but at a late date, and business is slow.

Selling a book these days is like pushing a wheelbarrow of fire wood into a burning building.

Boomers, the last generation to read actual books, are downsizing, donating their personal libraries to anyone who’ll take them away.

And folks who daily will drop $30 for a mediocre lunch are appalled when a book costs about the same.

But the tour has its bright spots.

Last week I spent quality time with young people who know things, mostly because they read. It’s impossible to give up on 30somethings when Jake Mabe of Knoxville, my columnist friend, knows about baseball, the Louvin Brothers and the writer Jean Shepherd.

Or, when reporter and author Carla Jean Whitley wants to talk about disappearing newspapers and the importance of words. She volunteers with literacy groups and teaches journalism.

A time to remember our American heroes While some think of Memorial Day weekend as a holiday marking the unofficial start to summer - one filled with cookouts, family gatherings and time spent outdoors - it’s important to take pause and remember the day’s true meaning.

Originally called Decoration Day, the yearly observance honoring our fallen soldiers began over 146 years ago, after the Civil War. In 1971, a congressional act established Memorial Day’s official status as a federal holiday, which now occurs annually on the last Monday in May. Each year, no matter how times change and what conflicts occur, Memorial Day is an important opportunity to remember and celebrate our American heroes. It is a time to stop and pay our respects to the brave men and women whose lives ended far too quickly, while serving our country and defending our liberties.

Every weekend when I return home to Van Meter, I am reminded of our service members’ great sacrifice. I pass by the entrance of the Iowa Veterans Cemetery, the entrance to truly hallowed ground. It is the final resting place of many heroes, a place for Iowans and all Americans to honor and pay their respects to loved ones they

have lost. Each time I pass the cemetery, I think of our brave American soldiers laid to rest a solemn reminder - freedom is not free.

These heroes’ love of country, their sacrifice and their bravery exemplify what it means to be an American. Their willingness to answer the call and serve our country will never be forgotten.

Memorial Day is also a time which reminds us we have a duty to those who did make it home and those who serve our country today. This week the U.S. House of Representatives passed the annual funding bill for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Through my position on the U.S. House Appropriations Committee, I was able to fight to have important provisions included in the bill to expand veterans’ access to VA outpatient clinics, improve mental health and medical services, and fix problems with the Veterans Crisis Line.

As our service members continue to do so much for us, it is critical we are looking out for them when they return home.

I’ve supported measures such as the Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans (SAV) Act, to ensure those who seek care, whether those silently suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder or other invisible wounds of war, have the help they need. Whether through supporting meaningful legislation or efforts in the community, such as the veterans care fairs I hosted last year in Council Bluffs and Des Moines, we must ensure our veterans have the care and resources they deserve.

Ultimately, I am thankful for our men and women in uniform, who are working towards a world that is freer, safer and more secure for our generation and for generations to come.

This Memorial Day weekend, take pause and thank a veteran, recognize a service member or remember those who lost their lives in defense of our freedoms.

We owe a great deal to those in uniform who have answered the call to serve our nation.

David Young is the Congressman serving all the people of Iowa’s third Congressional district. He is a member of the committee on appropriations and subcommittees on agriculture, homeland security and transportation, housing and urban development.

Fuel your day with 5 energizing superfoods

Contributed photo

(BPT) - With groggy eyes and slow movements, you peel yourself out of bed each day. Between the morning and afternoon slumps, you long for the energy of your youth. Does this sound familiar? Then you’ll be glad to know about five superfoods that can help energize you from the inside out, so you can feel your best all day.

As a registered dietician, nutrition expert at On Target Living, and author of the newly released cookbook “Target To Table: Delicious & Healthy Meals One Superfood at a Time,” Kristen Johnson understands that food plays a big role in health and wellness, and believes there’s no such thing as anti-aging - only aging well. Here are the five energizing superfoods Johnson recommends to fuel your body the healthy way.

1. Ancient grains “Ancient grains have remained virtually untouched and unchanged for thousands of years compared to modern wheat or corn that’s been bred for higher yield and drought resistance,” says Johnson.

Ancient grains are extremely high in protein, fiber and minerals. Johnson notes these grains can be helpful in managing inflammation and are a great source of energizing B vitamins for the brain and body.

Ancient grains include spelt, quinoa, chia, amaranth, buckwheat, wheat berries, kamut, freekah, bulgur, barley, sorghum, teff, millet, oats, wild rice and farro. These grains can be used to make hot dishes similar to oatmeal, or can be cooked and used in salads and entrees.

2. Omega-3 fats “Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the human cell, meaning they supply the body with energy. The better you feed the mitochondria, the healthier and better performing the cell will be,” explains Johnson. “Cell membranes must be permeable to allow the cell to be fed and allow ‘fuel’ for the mitochondria. The omega-3 fats EPA & DHA found in fish and algae are a great way to make the cell soft and permeable. This will help to fuel the body and improve energy and stamina.”

Our bodies cannot make omega-3 fats naturally, and therefore they must come from food or supplements, notes Johnson.

“Because fresh, cold-water, wild-caught fish is not always available, I often recommend a high-quality supplement like Nordic Naturals orange-flavored Arctic Cod Liver Oil,” says Johnson.

Cod liver oil has naturally occurring vitamin D that is needed to absorb calcium, an important factor for bone health. Nordic Naturals Arctic Cod Liver Oil is a great source of the omega-3s EPA and DHA that help contributes to a healthy heart and brain, hormonal balance, and a healthy immune response. Simply take 1 tablespoon daily or add to your smoothies or salad dressings.

3. Spirulina and chlorella “Spirulina and chlorella are fresh-water algae that are super high in chlorophyll, which is extremely energizing for the body,” says Johnson. “Because spirulina and chlorella are cell-builders, they also help to build the immune system and can help prevent you from getting sick.”

Spirulina and chlorella are also very cleansing and detoxifying, which helps improve digestion. Because both are high in protein, they are also great for vegans. Swallow (don’t chew) the tablets with water 15-20 minutes prior to eating. Aim for 10-20 tablets a day.

4. Cacao Cacao is the raw, unprocessed form of chocolate. It is high in magnesium, manganese, zinc, and iron. Johnson notes that cacao has many potential health benefits, including supporting brain and heart health, mood, healthy body weight, and energy. Cacao can also enhance relaxation and promote a better night’s sleep. Because it is high in magnesium, it has also been shown to help build muscle and aid in muscle recovery. Cacao also contains more antioxidants than red wine, green tea and blueberries.

Cacao nibs are easy to consume and can be mixed in oatmeal, smoothies or trail mix. You can also blend cacao nibs or cacao powder with coconut or almond milk and a little bit of honey in a blender for a healthy version of chocolate milk or hot chocolate.

CREAM CORN LIKE NO OTHER 2 (10 oz.) packages frozen corn kernels, thawed 1 cup heavy cream 1 tsp. salt 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

In a skillet over medium heat, combine the corn, cream, salt, sugar, pepper and butter. Whisk together the milk and flour, and stir into the corn mixture. Cook stirring over medium heat until the mixture is thickened, and corn is cooked through. Remove from heat, and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted. Serve hot.

SKILLET CORN 3 cups corn, cut fresh from cob or frozen 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 1 Tbsp. sugar

1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup water 1 Tbsp. flour 1/4 cup milk

Combine corn, salt, pepper, sugar, butter and water in a 10-inch skillet. Cover and simmer 15 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Combine flour with milk, blending until smooth. Stir into corn. Cook five more minutes, stirring constantly. Serve immediately.

JALAPENO CORN 2 - 11oz. cans shoe peg corn, drained 6 to 8 oz. cream cheese 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. garlic salt 1 stick butter 4 Tbsp. milk 3 - 4 jalapenos, seeded and chopped or 4 oz. can green chiles In a pan on low heat, melt cream cheese with garlic salt, butter and milk until bubbly. Add corn and jalapenos. Mix well. Put in lightly greased baking dish and bake at 350° until bubbly and lightly brown, about 20 minutes. what’s cookin’ in kyp’s kitchen sponsored by:

5. Coconut “Coconuts contain a healthy saturated fat high in lauric, capric, and caprylic acids, which have antiviral and antifungal properties and help contribute to healthy digestion,” says Johnson. “Coconuts also contain medium-chain fatty acids (MCTs) that can enhance energy and metabolism.”

Coconut water, coconut milk and shredded coconut are all great options to add to your diet. Using virgin coconut oil is also a great way to sneak in more coconut when cooking, baking, or snacking. Simply use it in place of oil in cooking and butter in baking. It’s great for spreading on bread and for making popcorn, too.

Should foil be shiny or dull?

Dear Heloise: Every time I use ALUMINUM FOIL, I stop for a minute and wonder if it matters whether the shiny or dull side faces out.

Does it matter, or can I just relax when using it? – Erica D., South Bend, Ind. Don’t stress! You can use either side, and it will make no difference when you are cooking! But don’t you wonder why there is a shiny side and a dull side?

It’s just what happens during manufacturing: One side is polished by steel rollers, making it shiny, and the other is not, which causes it to look dull. Now you know! – Heloise

Years since the Warriors lost two straight playoff games by at least 20 points.

National Digest

OKC rolls OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Suddenly, these Golden State Warriors who have been compared all season to the Chicago Bulls dynasty of the 1990s are on the brink of elimination.

Russell Westbrook had 36 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Warriors 118-94 on Tuesday night to take a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference Finals. Golden State, which won a league record 73 games in the regular season, lost consecutive games for the first time this season.

The Warriors must win Game 5 on Thursday in Oakland to keep their season alive.

“We all have to bounce back,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.

“The good news is, we go home. Obviously we play well at home. The idea now is to go home and get one win. Do that, and we put some pressure on them and we’ll see what happens.”

Klay Thompson led Golden State with 26 points, but two-time league MVP Stephen Curry was limited to 19 points on 6-for-20 shooting. Curry’s shooting performance was so uncharacteristic that reporters asked if he was hurt.

“He’s not injured,” Kerr said.

The Warriors lost consecutive playoff games by at least 20 points for the first time since Games 2 and 3 of the 1972 Western Conference semifinals against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Golden State’s Draymond Green, who was fined for kicking Steven Adams in the groin in Game 3, finished with six points, 11 rebounds and six turnovers.

Fleming transfers CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Chattanooga has added Iowa transfer Andrew Fleming to its roster.

The Mocs announced Fleming’s addition Tuesday in a university release. Fleming will sit out the 2016-17 season due to NCAA transfer rules before becoming eligible to play for his new team in 2017-18.

Fleming played 11 games for Iowa as a 6-foot-5 freshman this past season and averaged 2.2 points in 7.3 minutes.

Poor start doesn’t faze Panthers in H-10 opener

By SCOTT VICKER

“BIG confidence builder for Cali — not only for herself, but for her teammates.”

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

GLENWOOD — The Creston softball team had a disastrous start here Tuesday, but battled back for a big 11-2 win over Glenwood in the Hawkeye 10 Conference opener.

After a scoreless top of the first, the Panthers dropped a third strike on Glenwood’s leadoff batter and had an error on the throw to first base.

After another error, Creston spotted Glenwood two runs in the first inning.

But that didn’t faze the Panthers, who put a run on the board in the top of the second and took the lead for good in the top of the third inning.

“We gave them two runs, and we were going to find out right then and there what kind of team we were going to be,” Creston head coach Mike McCabe said.

“Couldn’t have asked for better.

The way we went about it was important to me, and I McCabe was really pleased with that.”

Lexie Little led off with a double in the top of the second inning and after an out, scored on an RBI base hit by Alyssa Higgins. Chloe Hagle worked a leadoff walk in the top of the third and Josie

Sickels got a base hit before Shelby Palser sacrificed both runners over. Taylor Briley hit a two-run double, as Creston had a three-run third inning to take a 4-2 lead.

GLENWOOD — Creston junior Kadon Hulett seems to have a knack for early-season pitching gems.

A year ago, the Panthers opened the season with a 1-0 win at Indianola, when Hulett went the distance as a sophomore starter in a two-hit shutout with nine strikeouts and two walks.

On Tuesday night to open 2016 Hawkeye 10 Conference play, Hulett set down the Glenwood Rams in a five-hit shutout with 14 strikeouts and no walks in six innings. Junior Chase Shiltz finished with a hitless inning and two strikeouts.

The game didn’t start out with the appearance of a dominating shutout, as the first three Ram batters singled to the load the bases. Then Hulett recorded three straight strikeouts Hulett to leave all three runners stranded.

The only other threat was in the fifth when two Rams reached on hits. Hulett got the last out on a flyball to right field.

The batters in the fourth through sixth spots in the Ram batting order combined to strike out 16 times and put the ball in play just twice — on a comebacker to Hulett and unassisted groundout to first base.

“Their top three put the

ball in play every time, but Kadon was pitching confident and the rest of their order couldn’t do anything against him,” Creston coach Steve Birchard said. “He relied on his fastball early, then had command of his slider and curveball as he went through the order again.”

Cody Crawford had two of Creston’s five hits.

The game shaped up to be similar to last year’s 1-0 win at Indianola, as the only run through six innings came in the Panther fourth when Shiltz was hit by a pitch, stole second and moved to third on a groundout by Jaden Driskell. Hulett’s groundout scored Shiltz.

Creston broke through with three insurance runs in the top of the seventh.

Eagle defense solid in opener

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

AFTON — From a defensive standpoint, East Union sure did not look like it was taking the field on opening night Tuesday in its 4-1 win over Orient-Macksburg.

“The whole team played very good defense,” Eagle baseball coach Dave Campbell said. “That’s probably about the best team game that we’ve played since I’ve been here four or five years overall.”

Brandon Lee took to the hill for the Eagles and turned in a complete game one-run gem. Lee allowed just three hits, struck out seven Bulldog batters and flashed the leather for good measure.

The Eagle defense was hardly the only bright spot on the night for the Eagles.

EU showed some chops at the plate as well. The Eagles cranked out eight hits on the night, three of which came off the hot bat of Mason Gossman. His 3-4 night at the plate and one RBI contributed to the victory.

“He has come, he has put in the time, he has got in the cage and did some hitting,” Campbell said. “It helps to see those kids to get a good start, it’s good for the confidence.”

East Union’s Kyle Campbell posted a 3-3 night of his own, three singles in all with an RBI. Additionally Lee didn’t get a hit at the plate as he went 0-3 Tuesday night, but scored the first run of the Eagles’ young season in the first frame.

Lee became the first victim of a hit-by-pitch bug in the first inning and moved freely from there. He stole second, made his way to third on a wild pitch and scored when Gossman singled for the first time to right field.

Colton Abel went 1-1 and reached twice on a walk and after an HBP scored a run in the fifth inning. Trevor Jones tallied a base knock for a 1-2

night and an RBI. Losing their second consecutive contest were the Bulldogs, who hit the ball harder than their three total hits suggest. The Eagle defense can definitely be attributed a lot of credit for the lack of hits for O-M. Bobby Hepner and Jones made stellar catches in center and right field respectively to rob the Bulldogs of a few base runners.

EU did have some struggles at the top of the order.

The top three of the Eagle lineup went 0-7 but did account for two runs, but coach Campbell wasn’t discouraged.

“I’m hoping that on the nights that we somewhat struggle, maybe a little bit toward the top of our order that we can scratch out runs here and there,” Campbell said.

O-M hurler Jesse Johnson struck out nine batters, surrendered four runs, eight hits and seven walks in six innings of work on the mound.

“Jesse rose to the challenge and was still throwing heat towards the end. He did well,” O-M coach Dornack said.

Joey Huntington and Keaton Eslinger both posted 1-3 nights at the plate and Blake Sevier pushed across the lone Bulldog RBI with a fourth inning sacrifice fly that scored Jackson Mikkelsen.

“I thought we did well.

From last night to tonight, it was a whole different team.

We’re still learning,” O-M coach Drew Dornack.

EU moved to 1-0 and O-M fell to 0-2 on the young season.

Cavaliers lose series lead, ‘invincible aura’ to Raptors INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Upon their return from Canada, the Cavaliers had nothing to declare at U.S. Customs.

Their lead in the Eastern Conference finals had already been confiscated.

Cleveland was stripped of its dominance and a 2-0 advantage during a long weekend in Toronto, where the growing-confident-by-theshot Raptors, propelled by a crowd and city that believes they can make the NBA Finals, won two straight games. “They flipped the script on us,� Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said.

After being throttled by a combined 50 points in Games 1 and 2, the Raptors turned a series that began with blowouts into a bestof-3, winner-take-all slugfest. There wasn’t supposed to be a Game 5, and now there will be a Game 6 as well.

Unable to contain Toronto All-Star guards Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan from scoring or keep Raptors super sub Bismack Biyombo off the boards, the Cavs have put themselves in a predicament.

Gone is their entire margin for error, some of their swagger and any aura of invincibility that surrounded them after reeling off 10 straight wins to open the postseason.

And as the teams prepared for Game 5 on Wednesday night, the pressure has swung back on superstar LeBron James and the Cavs, who spent Tues-

day in film sessions breaking down went wrong during their visit to Toronto.

There was plenty to process from Monday’s 105-99 loss.

Cleveland came out flat, falling behind by 16 in the first half and relying too much on its 3-point shooting, which has suddenly gone as cold as a Saskatchewan winter.

The Cavs fought their way back using a smaller lineup that didn’t include the suddenly struggling Kevin Love, but they didn’t have enough down the stretch as costly defensive lapses — and terrific shot-making

by Lowry and DeRozan — helped the Raptors even the series.

No offense to rapper Drake and Toronto’s rowdy fans, but Lue was happy to escape “We The North.� “Now it’s our chance to come back, get some home cooked meals and have a chance to play in front of our home crowd,� he said.

James, who logged 46 minutes in Game 4, did not

speak to the media on Tuesday, choosing to stay far from the view of reporters and cameras.

Lue has carefully administered the four-time MVPs minutes during the second half of the regular season and playoffs, hoping to keep James as fresh as possible.

James pushed himself harder in Game 4, and Lue said that was the plan. “We talked about it before the game and the night before how his body felt and wanting to play more minutes because we knew it was a big game for us, but it didn’t work out,� Lue said.

James maximized his minutes in Game 4, scoring 29 on 11-of-16 shooting with nine rebounds and six assists. But he was somewhat passive in the fourth quarter, attempting just one shot in the final 5:28.

Again, Lue said that was by design as the Cavs took what the Raptors’ defense gave them. “LeBron knows when he has to take over a basketball game,� Lue said.

Cubs put on a show in 12-3 win over Cardinals ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Chicago Cubs provided various forms of entertainment Tuesday night in snapping their three-game losing streak with a 12-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.

David Ross came through with the biggest hit of a sixrun first inning with a double that eluded center fielder Randal Grichuk with two outs that scored two runs and give the Cubs a 4-0 lead.

The double was the 500th career double for Ross, 39, who plans to retire after this season.

“Yeah me,” said Ross, who had no inkling he reached a milestone. “That’s 500? I only had to play how many years? Some of these guys

will have them in three years.

It took me 14 or 15 years.

“Homers are way cooler, right?”

Reliever Justin Grimm provided some amusement when he fielded a grounder

by Aledmys Diaz between his legs with his back to home plate for the final out of the eighth.

“I always wanted to do that, whether it’s behind the back or between the legs,” Grimm said. “Actually I told an umpire that.

“I’ve attempted it, because I’ve had a lot of balls hit back at me. But I was never able to pull it off. In spring, they hit these balls at guys at 100 mph, but you don’t have time to turn it around.”

With an 8-1 lead in the ninth, manager Joe Maddon challenged an out call at first base. The call was overruled, thus taking an out away from the Cardinals and giving Addison Russell with an infield hit. The reversal fueled a four-run rally, capped by a two-run triple by Matt Szczur.

The challenge “validates running hard to first base,” said Maddon, adding that it could make a difference if Russell finishes with a .300 batting average as well as serve as a teaching tool to the Cubs’ minor league players on the benefits of hustling.

“My takeaway from the game is that,” Maddon said.

McIlroy concerned about Zika ahead of Olympics LONDON (AP) Rory McIlroy has concerns about the Zika virus as he prepares to play at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

The four-time major winner said he is monitoring the outbreak of the mosquito-borne virus, which has been linked to serious birth defects.

“I have been reading a lot of reports about Zika and there have been some articles coming out saying that it might be worse than they’re saying and I have to monitor that situation,” McIlroy told the BBC. McIlroy is scheduled to play for Ireland as golf makes its return to the Olympics for the first time since 1904.

The 27-year-old McIlroy said he and his fiancee, Erica

B&B

Stoll, may consider starting a family “in the next couple of years.”

“Right now, I’m ready to go but I don’t want anything to affect that,” he said.

Zika has been linked with microcephaly, a condition in which babies are born with undersized brains and skulls.

McIlroy said he is planning to get vaccinations on Wednesday.

“At least I will be immunized for whatever - if I do get bitten by a mosquito down there,” he said.

There is no vaccine for the Zika virus.

Australian golfer Marc Leishman has pulled out of the Olympic tournament, citing concerns over the health of his family because of the Zika virus. Leishman’s wife,

Audrey, nearly died last year from toxic shock syndrome.

Adam Scott, Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel and Vijay Singh have also said they won’t compete at Rio, mostly due to scheduling commitments.

Despite his Zika concerns, McIlroy said he would be proud to represent Ireland.

“As it gets closer, I am relishing the thought of going down there and competing for gold,” he said.

McIlroy, who won the Irish Open on Sunday for his first title of the season, had been eligible to compete for either Britain or Ireland at the Olympics. He eventually chose Ireland, which he had represented throughout his amateur career and twice in the World Cup.
