Streams of blue and yellow rain down from the sky after a firework explosion Tuesday night during the 10,000 Crestonians Fourth of July fireworks show in McKinley Park in Creston.

Two condominiums have been constructed — and one sold already — by a partnership between Southwestern Community College’s (SWCC) carpentry and building trades program, and Sonntag Development of Atlantic. Roughly 20 carpentry and electrical students, enrolled in a variety of trade courses offered by SWCC, combined efforts to complete the project. Building began for the students in early September when they assisted with putting in the foundation, and concluded in mid-May. “Students have basically the option of taking one or two years of the carpentry program at SWCC,” said Dennis Downing, carpentry and building trades instructor for SWCC. “So there were both firstyear and second-year stu-

dents from the carpentry program working on it,” said Downing, “and then also students from SWCC’s electrical program did all the wiring. And of course the carpentry students did pretty much all of the carpentry tasks. They helped with the concrete, the stone in the garage — they set up all the cabinets.” The two condominiums, located at 408 and 410 S. Maple St. in Creston, are one-story ranches with 877 above grade square feet. Each features a 10-by-10 foot patio, and a 21-by-10by-14 foot attached garage. The SWCC carpentry and trades program has been constructing residential buildings and instructing students in the process for more than 10 years. “We had various levels of experience in the group this year,” said Downing. “I had some students that had taken some high school building classes, I had some students with no experience whatsoever and then there were some students who had taken a year of their college program already. We also had a few students this year SWCC | 2A

According to a Union County Sheriff report, McKinney, driving a 2017 Harley-Davidson south on Highway 169, began gradually veering to the right across the shoulder and into the west ditch. The vehicle continued down the ditch, traveling through an evergreen tree approximately 6 inches in diameter, and continued through a barb-wire fence into a hay field. The vehicle then came to rest on its side facing northwest. McKinney was not wear-

ing a helmet and driving distractions are currently unknown. Damage estimate is $35,000 to McKinney’s vehicle and $500 to the fence owned by Jerry Abel of Creston.

who were working weekends and summers and stuff with contractors for several years — so we had a pretty varied level of experience. “This was probably one of the better groups of students I’ve ever had,” said Downing. “They did a good job. Usually, the point of the course is to groom them — to prepare them — to be in a middle-management type of role. And they’re not going

to come right out of school and jump right into it, but the goal is to accelerate their climb once they get a job. “And so they did really well,” said Downing. “Normally, I try to let them take the lead. They make the decisions, and they’re responsible for lining things up. And if they have questions, I assist them and explain to them ways to make it happen. But they did a really good job of that this year.” Of the two condominiums, one has been sold and one is still for sale by agent

Nancy E. Loudon of R Realty of Creston. The current listing price is $129,950 for the condominium at 408 S. Maple St. And what’s next in store for Downing’s students? “And then there’s the students that graduated this year,” said Downing “There’s already at least two of them that I know of — one that’s already a crew leader — and the other one that I talked to his boss yesterday, and he’s going to be promoted. So they did a good job of it. They’re doing really well.”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, July 5, 2017

A tough break Sometimes, things don’t go as planned. My 13-year-old nephew Corbyn learned that the hard way two weekends ago. Corbyn recently qualified for the National Junior High Finals Rodeo in Lebanon, Tennessee, by winning the state championship in bull riding and placing in the top three in both bareback and saddle bronc riding. Corbyn competed in all three events in Lebanon the week of June 19-22. He performed well, but not up to his expectations, being bucked off his bull in his final ride June 22. The weather did not cooperate while he was in Tennessee, either. My brother, Clint, said Lebanon received 10 inches of rain – so much rain that kids in the campground they were staying in were floating down the roadways on inner tubes. All that rain made for difficult rodeo conditions. Still, it was a great learning experience for Corbyn. He competed against the best of the best for his age division and gained valuable experience competing in a bigtime event. For someone who wants to make a career out of bull riding, that experience will come in handy. Corbyn and his parents drove back to Iowa June 23. With his older brother competing at the youth rodeo in Osceola June 23-24, Corbyn decided to enter into Sunday’s rodeo events. He gave chute dogging a try and won the junior division. He also entered the bull riding competition, the final event of the rodeo. That’s where things went haywire. Even at just 13 years old, Corbyn is an experienced bull rider. But nothing he’s encountered in the past could have prepared him for what happened in his ride June 24 in Osceola. Corbyn and his bull came out of the chute with Corbyn holding on

Vick-tory lap Scott Vicker managing editor

well early in the ride, despite furious bucking by the bull. But, it didn’t take long for Corbyn to start leaning to a side. Soon, he had been bucked off. The problem was his hand got caught in his rope and he couldn’t get away from the bull. With his arm caught above his head and his legs dangling on the ground, the powerful bull’s hoof came crashing down right on Corbyn’s left femur. Crunch. At that time, Corbyn was finally able to free his hand and the bull scurried away. Concern in the crowd was already mounting as Corbyn lay motionless on the arena floor. But, he quickly got to his feet. That was probably a mistake, though. As soon as Corbyn moved to take a step, he collapsed right back to the ground. The rodeo clowns rushed to him and carried his limp body out of the arena. I immediately knew his leg was broken when he crumpled into a heap after trying to take a step. Others – Corbyn’s mom and my mom, included – remained hopeful. But, it was clear something wasn’t right. I’m not sure Corbyn knew what was going on. I think he was in shock. He just kept saying, “My leg hurts.” Thankfully, the paramedics from Clarke County Hospital were great and took good care of Corbyn, even if he was upset they cut his boots and chaps. It turns out, it was a relatively clean break of his left femur. You never want to break your femur, but as far as breaks of the femur go, this was about as best-case scenario as it could have been.

While waiting in the Clarke County Hospital waiting room, I began looking through the pictures I took of his ride. And there it was, the moment I believe he broke his leg. In the photo, seen at right, Corbyn is grimacing in pain. He took it like a champ, though. He never once cried. He just toughed it out, because he’s cowboy tough. Corbyn now faces a long road to recovery. He can’t bear any weight on his leg for at least six weeks and can’t do any rodeo or athletics for at least six months, which will put his wrestling season in jeopardy. After all that, you might wonder if he wants to get back on a bull or not. The answer – yes. Not even this tough break can keep him down forever. ••• Contact the writer: Twitter – @scottvicker CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER Email – svicker@crestonnews.

HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody? President Trump revealed he will be in Paris to honor the French celebration of Bastille Day next week. He’s returning the favor, really. Yesterday, Paris Disneyland celebrated America’s Independence Day with a tremendous fireworks display, and after 10 minutes, France surrendered. President Trump is negotiating with Disney World over the content of the speech his robot will give in Disney World’s Hall of Presidents when it’s unveiled this fall. They say it’s very lifelike and believable. Trump’s speech will include an executive order closing down the It’s a Small World Ride. The First Southern Baptist Church of Dallas sponsored the Salute to Veterans at the Kennedy Center in Washington Saturday where Trump spoke. The church’s traditions are deeply rooted in social fellowship. When two or more Southern Baptists are gathered in His name, a chicken must die. Independence Day weekend drew record-sized crowds to the beaches of Southern California where 2 million sun-worshippers basked in the weather and enjoyed the fireworks displays. It was really too crowded. I wanted to go swimming Sunday, but Chris Christie was using the ocean. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and family were photographed relaxing on a beach by themselves Sunday. It was after he closed the beach over a budget crisis. Christie said it was the best way to lay out on the beach with-

The Los Angeles Times quoted a study saying climate change will widen the gulf between rich and the poor in the U.S., with the South being hit the hardest. This will only delay any action. The best way to torture a liberal is to make him choose between saving the Earth and clobbering the South. St. Louis agreed to remove two Confederate monuments from city property Thursday following the removal of several Rebel monuments in New Orleans. Last week, a removal crew discovered a time capsule in one of the Confederate monuments. They opened it up and there it was, Mississippi. Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said it’s possible to expand educational choice for public schools without harming private schools. This was big news. A new study says intelligent children live longer if you wonder why we’re running out of cemetery space in Los Angeles. The Centers for Disease Control released statistics Friday showing the fertility rate in the U.S. has reached an all-time low. That’s because young adults are obsessed with their next social

The Miami Herald reported that 12 greyhounds tested positive for cocaine at a Florida dog track last weekend. It was a timely reminder. The very next day, a spokesman for Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome warned that cocaine is the last thing you want to give your dog on the Fourth of July. North Korea ratcheted up the tensions in East Asia Monday with another missile launch. The governments of the U.S. and South Korea and Japan issued statements charging that the missile launches were provocative. They weren’t intended to be provocative, all missiles are shaped like that. The Broadway smash-hit musical “Hamilton!” is coming to Los Angeles this month where it will play at the famed Pantages Theater in Hollywood. The musical has garnered an unprecedented number of stage awards. In the last 40 years, only U.S. Attorney Rudy Giuliani collected more Tony’s. Las Vegas experienced long lines at pot dispensaries Saturday when Sin City officially legalized the sale of recreational marijuana to adults. The civic benefits are obvious. Legalizing pot smoking will only fortify the reputation of Las Vegas as the world capital of smart and clear-headed decisions.

Straight birthday card shower planned

Joey Chestnut wins 10th hot dog title NEW YORK (AP) — Joey “Jaws” Chestnut gulped, chomped and powered his way to a 10th title on Tuesday, continuing his record-setting reign as the chowing champion at the annual Nathan’s Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest. Shoving water-soaked buns and wriggling franks into his mouth on a hot, sunny day on the Coney Island boardwalk, he downed 72 dogs and buns in 10 minutes to beat his own record and hoist the Mustard Belt for a 10th time. The San Jose, California, man bested up-andcomer Carmen Cincotti, of Mays Landing, New Jersey, who ate 60 franks and buns on his 24th birthday. Miki Sudo notched a fourth straight win in the women’s competition. The Las Vegas woman ate 41

hot dogs and buns to beat Michelle Lesco of Tucson, Arizona, who downed 32 franks and buns. During the men’s competition, five people were taken into custody for trying to disrupt the event, police said. The people appeared to be attempting to unfold a black banner before police stopped them and took them away. They were taken to a precinct where they were questioned and released, police said. The demonstrators later issued a statement saying they were from a group called Direct Action Everywhere, and want Nathan’s to stop holding the contest. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals members separately had been giving away free vegan hot dogs outside the event,

but spokeswoman Tricia Lebkuecher said the people arrested inside weren’t affiliated with PETA. Chestnut has dominated the chowdown throwdown for years, eating 70 franks and buns last year to top his then-record and take back the title from Matt “The Megatoad” Stonie. The 25-year-old Stonie came in third on Tuesday, with 48 franks and buns. “There’s no secret, I love to eat, and I love doing it, I love to win, so I had to figure out my body and push it to the limit,” a sweating Chestnut said after his win. The 33-year-old said he’d hoped to down even more dogs but was leaving feeling good. Cincotti said he’d eaten a thousand hot dogs since May in preparation for his second try at the Mustard

Belt. Getting to even second place is “surreal — I grew up watching this contest,” he said. Meanwhile, the women’s side has featured a yearslong rivalry between Sudo and record-holder Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas, of Alexandria, Virginia. Thomas, who’s 50, came in third on Tuesday with 30 dogs and buns, well shy of her record 45. One of America’s most outlandish July Fourth traditions, the contest dates to 1972, though the company has for years promoted what a former president acknowledged was a legendary start date of 1916. Leigh Brown and her husband brought her 11-year-old sons, Carter and Corbyn, all the way from Florida to see it.

Chanel aims high with starry ‘Eiffel Tower’ Paris show PARIS (AP) — The ever-audacious Karl Lagerfeld proved he is still nimble when it comes to putting on a fashion show. The 83-year-old had a 46ton Eiffel Tower recreated inside the Grand Palais for the pleasure of his Chanel couture celebrity guests. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo returned the love by presenting him with the city’s highest honor. Here are some highlights from the fall-winter 2017 shows Tuesday at Paris Haute Couture Week.

Eiffel Tower in the Grand Palais Hall “Does it go through the roof?” asked a bemused fashion insider, pointing at the ceiling of the Grand Palais exhibition hall in Paris It was a fair question. The 38-meter (125-foot) replica of Paris’ most iconic monument that greeted Chanel’s couture guests seemed to extend past the famed hall’s glass roof thanks to the illusion of swirling clouds created by steam. Back at ground level, celebrities including Julianne Moore, Katy Perry, Kristen Stewart, Pharrell Williams and Tilda Swinton were shown to metal seats in real sand and gravel. “It’s extraordinary to come into the Grand Palais, which is awesome at the best of any time, but to stand under the tour Eiffel is extraordinary. Only Chanel,” Swinton said. The wood-and-steel tower, which took workmen six weeks to make, was a stunning piece of craftsmanship. It copied nearly beam for beam the columns and metal twists of the edifice made by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Universal Exhibition. — — — — — —

Chanel goes turnof-the-century The dawn of the 20th cen-

tury — the period following the Eiffel Tower’s construction — was the creative touchstone for Chanel’s wintery-looking couture. The first model strode out in sunlight filtered by wrought-iron columns to set the tone of the graphic, steel-colored collection. She wore a wide-hipped, charcoal gray coat with exaggerated leg-of-mutton arms — styles that harkened to the Belle Epoque period. This clever historic musing continued with flattened bowler hats and black patent lace-up ankle boots popular before World War I. Flourishing bouquets of plumes then shot out from wrists, ankles and shoulders in evening wear. “In this collection, there are feathers treated like fur,” Lagerfeld explained. But the designer relied on myriad references for a show whose one unifying theme might have been simply the Parisienne. “It’s a vision of a revived Parisian woman. It is all about cut, shapes, silhouettes,” he added. Signature tweed jackets were reimagined as long tunics, or cropped and double-breasted. Then it got arty. Mechanical Art Deco motifs gave a 1920s flair to black froufrou gowns that evoked the paintings of Robert Delaunay. Their frothy, flower embellishments at the hem gave the silhouette a vibrant dynamic. Mini-dresses in tweed, retro bateau collars and bows under the bust mixed in a dash of the 1960s. Thigh-high boots added a hint of contemporary provocation. — — — — — —

Lagerfeld honored by Paris The German-born La-

gerfeld was awarded Paris’ highest honor — the “La Medaille Grand Vermeil” — by Mayor Anne Hidalgo for service to the city he’s called home for seven decades. And there was perhaps no better site for such an award than beneath a replica of the Eiffel Tower. “Paris gives you its thanks and its love through this Grand Silver Gilt medal ... which is our city’s highest award,” Hidalgo said in front of a celebrity audience, including models Claudia Schiffer and Cara Delevingne. “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Paris loves you. You are Paris.” Lagerfeld, a contemporary of the late fashion icon Yves Saint Laurent, has been at the forefront of Paris fashion since the 1960s, designing for Chloe before taking over Chanel in 1983. Although he doesn’t see himself as French, the designer professed his love for the City of Light. “I am a foreigner and I intend to stay a foreigner because foreigners see Paris and France through a different eye,” he said, accepting the award. “And when you are not French, you look without nationalism or patriotism... Long live Paris.” — — — — — —

Giorgio Armani Prive Kate Winslet, Isabelle Huppert, Priyanka Chopra and Italian cinema icon Sophia Loren led the front row at Giorgio Armani Prive’s demure yet playful collection. As ever, it was classic glamour. The leitmotif of small cone hats and sensual face veils gave the silken 61-piece show a feel for the theatricality of the 1920s. Large black neck ruffs evoked a harlequin. And a

black cape with fuchsia floral embroideries was conceived by the fashion legend in gargantuan proportions — visually overpowering the model’s body. But Armani’s fall-winter couture silhouette was all about the chest. An open menswear tuxedo jacket with peaked shoulders exposed the flesh underneath. Elsewhere, a neckline on a pale blue top plunged daringly and was given a tasteful lift with a broach detail under the bust. Beautiful black gowns in organza and satin — with huge full skirts — also exposed the shoulders and the chest. — — — — — —

Parties, darling Another couture week, another set of exhausting, champagne-guzzling soirees replete with fashionistas and VIP guests.

One of Tuesday’s highlights was the launch party of Chanel’s new perfume “Gabrielle Chanel” — after house founder Coco Chanel’s real name. Pharell and Katy Perry were among attendees at the Palais de Tokyo fete — as was actress Kristen Stewart, rocking her short blond hair look. Stewart was named in May as the the face of the fragrance and will star in a film campaign of the scent in the fall. Actress Alicia Vikander, meanwhile, attended the annual party of jewelry house Bulgari — admiring the panoramic view on top of Galeries Lafayette department store in central Paris. — — — — — —

Alexis Mabille’s vintage couture The fashion history books seemed to have been consult-

ed on more than one occasion ahead of this season’s couture — with age-old styles wafting in the Parisian air. French fashion designer Alexis Mabille headed for the 1860s to produce a short but beautifully executed collection of silk gowns. Old gold, shimmering white, pale blue, purple and silver brought to life the archetypically “couture” styles rendered in yards of pleated silk fabric, embroidery and thick sumptuous layering. As was the style in the mid-19th century, gowns came adorned with all the trimmings. Ruffled sleeves met cascading layers that formed different sections in a wedding cake style. Ribbons were tied around the midriff, and tassels hung off waist-binding belts. The sumptuous designs might have suited Scarlett O’Hara or any belle of the ball.

If shopping, guard against buying what you want versus buying what you need. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today the Moon is in your sign, which could bring you a little bit of extra good luck! This happens for two days every month. Why not ask the universe for a favor? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You will prefer to be low-key today and hide or stay in the background. You’re not being antisocial - you just need a break from society. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A conversation with a female friend will be important today. Share your hopes and dreams for the future

with this person, because her feedback could help you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)People in authority - bosses, parents, the police and other VIPs - might discuss details of your personal life today. Just be aware of this. YOU BORN TODAY You are passionate, assertive and tenacious. You are not a quitter. This year will bring excitement, adventure and more freedom than you have

experienced in recent years. It’s a time to move away from old routines and feel loose and free! For many, a major change will occur, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2008. It’s time to test your future! Birthdate of: Dalai Lama, spiritual leader; Kevin Hart, actor/comedian; Nancy Reagan, first lady/actress. (c) 2017 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: Your mother had a recipe for a CHEESE SPREAD whose primary ingredient is cream cheese. Unfortunately, I can’t remember its name. Please reprint it for me and others. – Marnie W., The Villages, Fla. Marnie, yes, that would be the Olive Nut Dip or Sandwich Spread, and here it is: Heloise’s Olive Nut Dip or Sandwich Spread 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup real mayonnaise 1/2 cup pecans, chopped 1 cup sliced olives (the jar will say “salad olives” and is filled with bits and pieces of olives and pimientos) 2 tablespoons juice from the olive jar Dash of pepper but no salt Mix all ingredients well and refrigerate for an hour or so. This has been a favorite of nearly everyone I know. If you would like this recipe and other family favorites, I have a pamphlet you can order by going to www. Heloise.com, or by sending a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, business-size

envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/Favorite Recipes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Let my family favorites become your favorites, too, from the time-tested kitchen of Heloise. Bon appetit! – Heloise FIGHTING WITH SHRIMP Dear Heloise: If you are frustrated by not getting the cocktail-shrimp tail meat out of the shell, here is a solution: Grab the tail as you do when dipping the shrimp in the cocktail sauce, but instead of trying to bite and pull the shrimp tail from the shell, squeeze the shell at the end of the shrimp body, and out it comes. – Ed Y., Villa Park, Calif. JUNK-FOOD JUNKIE Dear Heloise: I worry about my young children (I have three, all under 10 years of age) consuming too much junk food. Any suggestions on how to get them to eat fresh fruit, or anything that’s healthier than high-calorie, low-nutrition foods? – Abby V., Gulfport, Miss. Abby, first, don’t buy any of the items you consider junk food. If it’s not within

SUDOKU

easy reach, if it’s out of sight at home, your children likely won’t eat it. Maybe going “cold turkey” isn’t for you, so try setting limits. For example: If they finish their homework or clean their room, they can have one scoop of ice cream. Make them work for it. Find healthier alternatives. Arrange banana slices on a plate with some strawberries, or give each child a lunch-size bag of baby carrots to snack on. Keep them busy. Obesity is becoming a serious health threat in America, and it often starts in childhood. Get your kids into activities that make them get up and move. Go for walks in a park, bike rides, hikes in the woods or swimming. Make sure they get enough sleep. When people are tired, they often will reach for an unhealthy snack to keep them going. All too often we indulge in mindless snacking while watching TV. Don’t let your kids form that habit. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Fresh ways to enjoy pizza night and make a balanced meal oven. * Bagged salad greens, spinach or salad kits are a great, speedy way to add greens to your plate. Parrish, who partnered with DiGiorno to create original side dish recipes, offers these two nutritious and tasty salad recipes to pair with your favorite pizza to create a more balanced meal:

1 teaspoon freshly chopped large bowl and squeeze some lemon juice over the parsley slices to prevent them from 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt turning brown. Slice the Couple cracks of black romaine thinly and add it pepper to the bowl along with the remaining salad ingredi2-4 tablespoons water ents. Set aside. Directions: For the dressing, add evUse a slicer or mando- erything but the water to line to thinly slice the ap- a small bowl and whisk to ple. Place the slices in a combine. Add enough wa-

ture. Toss the salad with just enough dressing to coat everything, making sure not to over-dress the salad. Once the salad is dressed, it must be eaten and cannot be stored in the fridge. For more recipes, information and meal ideas, visit www.nestleusa.com/ balance.

Apple pie cookies These delicious cookies are gluten-free, packed with protein and have those good-for-you ingredients. There is no white flour, butter, and oil in these glazed “apple pie” cookies. Smakelijk eten!

GlAZeD Apple pie cookies 1/2 cup roasted almond butter (peanut butter not recommended as a substitute) 2 Tbsp. honey 2 Tbsp. brown sugar, lightly packed pinch of salt 1 tsp. cinnamon heaping 1/4 tsp. nutmeg 1/8 tsp. ground cardamom 1 tsp. baking soda 1 cup oat flour - make your own 1 large egg 1/2 cup apple (measured after grating) 1/2 tsp. lemon juice 1/3 cup chopped pecans, optional

Directions: Bring 1 3/4 cups of water to a boil and add 1/2 a teaspoon of salt. Add 3/4 cups of raw quinoa. Stir well, reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes. Check the quinoa; the water should be absorbed and the grain should be fluffy. If the quinoa has not unraveled, add another 1/4 cup of water and cook until the water evaporates and the quinoa looks cooked. Fluff with a fork and allow to cool for up to two hours, or you can make ahead of time and refrigerate overnight. Place the cooked, cooled quinoa in a large bowl. Using a knife, cut away all the skin from the grapefruit and cut all segments directly into the bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients and mix well. Check for taste; you may need to add more lemon juice. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Optional Glaze 1/3 cup powdered sugar 1 tsp. maple syrup 2-3 tsp. milk 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat together the almond butter, brown sugar, and honey. Add in the salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, baking soda, and oat flour. To make oat flour, simply place old-fashioned or quick oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until they reach a flour consistency. Measure AFTER the oat flour has formed (not the oats beforehand). Add oat flour and egg to almond butter mixture and blend. Peel a small apple, and grate it on a cheese grater. Coarsely chop the grated pieces and toss with the lemon juice. Stir in the grated apple and pecans if desired. Drop by teaspoons full on baking sheet. ( I use a medium cookie scoop for uniformity.) Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove and allow to stay on the cookie sheet for another 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Allow to cool before glazing them. For the glaze: beat all the glaze ingredients together. Either spoon the glaze on, or dip the cookies into the glaze.

Shaved Apple and Romaine Crunch Salad

Ingredients: 2 hearts of romaine lettuce 1 sweet apple, like gala or pink lady 2 tablespoons raisins 1 tablespoon fresh chives, sliced 2 teaspoons sesame seeds For the salad dressing: 3 tablespoons tahini 2 teaspoons agave nectar or honey 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika Zest and juice of half a lemon 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

ter to loosen the dressing so it’s able to be poured. Check for seasoning; you may need a little more salt or lemon juice. Keep the dressing and salad in the fridge until ready to serve. Right before you dress the salad, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a couple cracks of pepper to the romaine mix-

(BPT) – You know a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables is best for your health, but achieving that can be a challenge given everything you have to accomplish in a day. Daily meal planning doesn’t have to be such a chore if you turn to your freezer for a little help. In fact, starting with frozen prepared foods as the foundation of your dinner plate and adding side dishes with fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains and/or low-fat dairy can make it possible to serve a balanced meal that is quick and tasty. And that works for pizza night, too! “Eating a balanced meal doesn’t mean you have to give up favorite foods like pizza,” says Bobby Parrish, Food Network personality and Today contributor. “It just means you need to be mindful of portion sizes and balance out your plate with a nutritious side dish of fresh vegetables, fruit and whole grains.” Research shows that Americans struggle with meeting recommended dietary guidelines. In fact, nine out of 10 people don’t get the daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say. A simple way to improve the mix of foods you’re eating is by supplementing something you already enjoy - like pizza with side dishes made up of other food groups. Nestlé USA’s Balance Your Plate educational program aims to help you put together delicious and nutritious meals that incorporate both frozen and fresh foods. The website www.nestleusa.com/balance provides information, tips and recipes to help consumers create easy, balanced meals that meet dietary guidelines. By choosing your favorite frozen dishes, like pizza, as the foundation of your meal, you can build a more balanced plate with these tips: * Make at least half your plate fruits and vegetables. For example, if you have a slice of cheese pizza, pair it with a fresh salad or your favorite vegetable side dish. * Figure out your portion by looking at the recommended Serving Size in the Nutrition Facts label. Here’s an easy idea for pizza portions: picture your hand as a pizza slice and plan to enjoy one or two hands’ worth. * Don’t be afraid to mix vegetables right into or on top of your pizza. For example, top cheese pizza with fresh tomato and basil after it comes out of the

WHY DO I HEAR... BUT NOT UNDERSTAND?

Study by Cambridge University in England Reveals Key Answer Until recently, there was no practical way to identify dead regions of hearing cells in the ear. However, a new British-developed procedure using standard test equipment now allows for identification of dead hearing cell regions. The study suggests that the presence or absence of dead regions may have serious implications in the fitting of hearing aids.

REGIONAL ROUNDUP

AHSTW 13, SW Valley 7 AVOCA — Holding a 5-4 lead, AHSTW broke open its Class 2A regional opener with Southwest Valley wide open in the sixth inning with an eight-run outburst. The Vikings advanced to tonight’s quarterfinal matchup at Treynor, while Southwest Valley bows out at 9-14. After AHSTW opened the game with a three-run first inning, the Timberwolves settled down and came back to post a 4-3 lead in the third inning. Danica Sunderman provided a hit to plate three of those runs. “We stalled after that until t h e s e v enth inning when Lexie Haer hit a Haer threer u n home run,” said Southwest Valley coach Tara Andrews. “Defensively we played good up until the sixth inning, when it kind of got away from us.” Freshman Kayley Myers had a double for Southwest Valley. Kiara Roberts took the pitching loss, yielding only two earned runs on eight hits and a walk in five innings. Myers pitched the sixth inning, with only three of her eight runs allowed being earned. Senior Haley Constable allowed only three earned runs and had six strikeouts in gaining the win for AHSTW. Sophomore third baseman Katie Anzalone led the 14-hit attack with three hits, including a home run and double. The Southwest Valley team loses seniors Shelby Nelson, Roberts and Sunderman from this year’s team.

Lenox 11, Stanton 1 LENOX — Lenox cruised to a third matchup with Pride of Iowa Conference rival Mount Ayr by rolling past Stanton Monday night, 11-1, in a Class 1A Region 8 opener. Mount Ayr (17-13) knocked off Diagonal Monday, 12-0, and will host the Tigers (19-12) at 7 p.m. today in quarterfinal play. The winner takes on 10th-ranked Murray or Bedford in the semifinals Friday in Mount Ayr. Lenox held only a 1-0 lead over Stanton (1114) until an eight-run rally in the fifth inning broke it open.

Back-to-back four-run innings provided all the fireworks the Creston baseball team needed on Fourth of July eve in a 10-7 home victory over the Winterset Huskies. Coming off a 4-1 victory Friday over Class 2A second-ranked Treynor, the 16-0 home defeat to Atlantic on Thursday seems a distant memory now with 14 runs produced in successive outings. The Panthers clubbed seven doubles in a 14-hit barrage against Husky lefthanders Casey Young and Easton Darling and righthander Brock Johnson. Senior first baseman Kadon Hulett, who had two doubles and two RBIs batting fourth in the Panther lineup, said the team was

But they will have to beat us a third time at districts, and we don’t see that happening.” An example of Creston’s aggressive approach at the plate was on display in Creston’s four-run third inning, after Young had faced only seven batters through the first two innings. Left fielder Eli Loudon led off with the first of four doubles that inning. Cody Crawford, Jaden Driskell and Merritt also hit two-baggers during the rally, with Hulett drawing a walk preceding Merritt’s big two-run blast in the gap. One inning later the Panthers unleashed four more runs on four hits and took an 8-3 lead. “We’ve been working on hitting where it’s pitched and having confidence up there,” Crawford said. “It’s a new pitch or new at-bat every time.

GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley senior Riley Lonsdale had never hit a home run before doing so in a loss Friday at Pleasantville. So it came to her and everyone else’s surprise when she hit home runs in her last two home at-bats in a 15-5 Class 2A Region 8 home opening-round victory in six innings Monday over West Central Valley. Lonsdale’s three-run homer off the scoreboard in right center in the sixth brought an end to the game and to her time playing games in Greenfield, with Nodaway Valley (16-16 overall) heading to Truro for a game with Class 2A thirdranked Interstate 35 (23-4 overall) today (Wednesday) at 7 p.m. Lonsdale’s first home run extended a three-run lead to five at 10-5. “A home run, I’ve always been told is just a good

line drive that has enough ‘umph’ to get over and that’s what those were. Just a good solid hit,” Lonsdale said. The second home run ended a five-run rally in the bottom of the sixth. “I’ve been popping up all year, popping up a lot actually. ( Assistant Coach) Jodie (Cummins) keeps telling me ‘hands through, hands through,’” Lonsdale said. “I guess I finally just hands through and put it all behind me. I’ve really really been wanting to hit some home runs for a while now.” West Central Valley came out in the first inning ready to go up against Wolverine pitcher Paige McElfish. With two runners on, West Central Valley’s Taylor Beane cracked a single up the middle to put the Wildcats on top 1-0. After McElfish struck out two more batters, Erin Franklin hit another single up the middle to plate another run. McElfish came out in the bottom of the first to cut into the Wildcat lead. She ripped a line drive homer to left center to run the score to 2-1. Nodaway Valley tied the game in the second when Sami Harris’ single down

By CARTER ECKL CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

AFTON — East Union’s season came to a close Monday night after falling to Griswold 6-5 in the first round of the Class 1A region 8 tournament. The Eagles led 5-1 heading into the fifth inning before surrendering five runs. The Tigers’ first three hitters all reached base starting with a leadoff double from

Hannah Boucher. In the fitth, Boucher crossed the plate following an RBI single off the bat of Madison Potter. Potter scored after a Brittney Beebe RBI single and Beebe was knocked in by Faith Rossell. Haylee Pennock plated the fifth run, scoring Rossell on an RBI groundout. Boucher finished the game 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Outside of the fifth inning the Eagles looked like the better team. “We played four spec-

tacular innings,” said Eagle head coach Jason Riley. “The fifth inning we gave up five runs and it’s hard to turn the tide when you’re a very young team.” Megan Mitchell cruised through her first two innings of work facing the minimum number of hitters. Mitchell allowed just one run through four innings even after starting the third inning with back-to-back walks. Mitchell hit a batter in the fourth, but didn’t allow her to move past second base. East Union scored twice in the first inning after four

consecutive singles brought Rylee Mitchell and Megan Mitchell across the plate. The Eagles took advantage of two Tiger errors in the third, netting two more runs and extending their lead to 4-0. Katy Allison tacked on East Union’s fifth run in the fifth inning with an RBI single directly past the pitcher. The Eagles were able Welcher

to string together four consecutive hits in the fifth with two outs. Jayden Welcher finished 4-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored for the Eagles. The Eagles’ bats went silent once they fell behind. “What I can say is I think tonight’s game tends to be fairly symbolic,” said Riley. “It seems like every night when we play there is one inning where we give up a bunch of runs.” Molly McNeill singled to start the seventh inning, but EAGLES | 2S

Crawford ran into some trouble on the mound in the top of the fifth when the Huskies closed the gap to 8-7. Johnson and Young led off with hits and Connor Van Pelt deposited a pitch over the left field fence for a three-run homer. When Cole Witt followed with a single, Birchard called on McDowell to pitch until Merritt finished with a scoreless seventh. “Cody did OK, he just had a little trouble with their best hitters there in the fifth inning,” Birchard said. “McDowell got us through two innings and then we went with Merritt, who was throwing real well in the pen. He’s been around the strike zone lately and that’s what we’re looking for from him.” Two defensive highlights backing the Panther pitching included throws from Driskell at catcher to McDowell covering second as the shortstop to cut down two Winterset stolen base attempts in the second and third innings.

Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING – Eightysix cars hit the dirt Saturday night as five classes brought excitement to the Adams County Speedway on Gibson Memorial Library Night with kids bicycle races presented by the Hy-Vee Junior Speedster Club. The feature events started off with the Chat Mobility Hobby Stocks. Tom Myers started on the pole and looked as if he might redeem himself from a week ago when he spun out while leading in the final laps. Myers led most the race Saturday night, but a laterace accident between Chris Bates and Jerid Lund brought out the caution. Defending champ Luke Ramsey pulled his favorite move on the restart, diving to the inside of M y e r s , Ramsey

Stalker Chevrolet B-Modifieds The Stalker Chevrolet B-Modifieds put on one of the most exciting races of the night. The race was plagued by cautions and saw a scary accident in turn four that collected Troy Fudge, Kyle Tanner, Andrew Clark, Tyler Fudge and Daniel Baudler. Baudler required medical attention from the Adams County Speedway safety crew, but walked away with just soreness. Clearfield native Cody Werner led the early stages of the race, holding off charges from Josh Sink and Jerod Weston. Werner seemed destined to

pick up his first-ever win, but a bobble on turn four opened up the door just enough for Weston to steal the win. Shawn Kralik finished in third, followed by Josh Sink in fourth and David Schwartz in fifth.

Vannausdle wins Bryan Vannausdle has alread lost three motors this year in his Tri-State Ford Compact. He took advantage of his bad luck by starting on the front row and cruising for the win. Vannausdle had to hold off charges from contenders Evan Hrabik, Buddy Haidsiak and Dustin Thompson, but he was never fiercely challenged and cruised to victory, his first of the year. Points leader Evan Hrabik came home in the runner-up spot. Dustin Thompson finished in third, followed by Buddy Haidsiak in fourth.

Cars have been an exciting class this year, providing six different winners in six points night. Saturday night yielded no differently, as Norwalk native Todd Fisher picked up his first ever win at ACS. The race was a wild one plagued by multiple early-race cautions, including an accident between Dillon Carlisle and the Ray Houck Memorial Champion and current points leader Buck Schafroth that sent Schafroths’ No. 92 car up and over, rolling violently several times. Schafroth walked away from the accident uninjured. Fisher battled fiercely with Clark and finally took the lead from him with six laps to go. Fisher proceeded to cruise away to capture his first win. Cody Clark came home with a career-best second-place finish followed by Kevin Sharp in third followed by Jason Rold in fourth and Dillon Carlisle in fifth.

Poet Bio-Refining Modifieds Ryan Jenkins dominated in the B-Modifieds last

year, collecting five wins en route to a track championship and national title. The youngster from Omaha made the jump up to a Poet Bio-Refining Modifieds this year. The transition has gone quite smoothly for Jenkins as he took advantage of his pole starting position, dominating en route to his first win in the modifieds. Jenkins had to dodge several cautions, but hit his marks on every restart in dominating fashion. Jeff James came home in the second, followed by Todd Van Eaton in third, Jeff Wiggins came home in fourth and Jake Hobscheidt rounded out the top five.

This week Saturday at the Adams County Speedway promises to be an epic night as it hosts KSIB Fan Appreciation Night. Admission for Saturday’s show is free. Adams County Speedway will also be honoring Gail and Karen Hampel, both of whom were very much a part of the success of ACS. Saturday night

Adair County recognizes that ‘Connections Matter’ in healthy communities GREENFIELD – Success4Kids Council and Prevent Child Abuse Iowa joined communities across the state in April celebrating the importance of social connections and working to strengthen social well-being, a key indicator of overall health and an essential factor in preventing child abuse and neglect. To promote caring connections and strong communities during Child Abuse Prevention Month, Success4Kids Council invited community members to get involved by participation in the following events. • Orient-Macksburg Elementary and Fareway of Greenfield participated in a paper bag outreach effort during the month of April. Second- and third-grade O-M students decorated paper bags with a theme of “healthy families” and the paper bags were available at Fareway in Greenfield during the month of April for customers. Customers could request paper bags and take home a piece of art made by the children. Each bag was a reminder healthy connections lead to great childhoods each day. • April 28 was a “Blue Out Day.” Adair County Health System (ACHS) employees wore blue in support of childhood prevention month. • Throughout April, the blue pinwheel in Adair County was the symbol of the happy, carefree childhood that all children deserve. Pinwheel coloring sheets were available and distributed at the libraries and Adair County Home Care/Public Health. Child abuse and neglect can cause toxic levels of stress that over time, changes the structure of the developing brain and leads to poor health, learning and overall well-being. An Iowa study found that

more than half of Iowa adults have experienced at least one type of abuse or household dysfunction growing up. Significant levels of toxic stress in childhood increases the likelihood of problems throughout a lifetime including depression, diabetes and heart disease. However, social supports and caring connections strengthen families, mitigating the negative outcomes of childhood trauma and reduces the risk of child abuse or neglect. Connected communities have lower crime rates, better physical and mental health and less money spent on treating social problems. Success4Kids Council works to create caring connections and social supports year round by securing grant funding through Prevent Child Abuse Iowa to assist with programs such as Parents as Teachers and Crisis Interventions and Advocacy Center. Parents as Teachers is a home visitation program that seeks to provide support and education to parents and families with children age 5

and under. Crisis Interventions and Advocacy Center has been working with Adair County schools and families to provide sexual abuse prevention education and provides 24-hour crisis support. These programs reach over 350 children and parents each year, building the safe, nurturing environment Adair County’s children need to thrive. “Fostering resilience can take many shapes in a community,” said Liz Cox, executive director of Prevent Child Abuse Iowa. “By creating an environment where people understand toxic stress and its impact, leaders can destigmatize the effects of toxic stress and foster strong, caring connections that lead to positive outcomes across generations.” The Connections Matter framework provides a strengths-based approach to understanding adverse childhood experiences and the vital role caring relationships play in buffering the longterm negative outcomes.

Iowa Corn Growers Association invites farmers to discuss issues Policy development at the Iowa Corn Growers Association is a grassroots process. Each year Iowa Corn hosts roundtable meetings in local communities across the state to gather input and feedback from growers. The meetings, which will be held in July this year, allow ICGA members to come together, share a meal and discuss key issues impacting corn farmers. Policies brought forward and approved at roundtable meetings go on to the annual ICGA Grassroots Summit on Aug. 26 for the ICGA delegates to debate. This process enables the or-

ganization to take-action in lobbying for and supporting sound policy development and pro-farmer legislation. The meeting in Creston will be from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 12, at Supertel Inn, 800 Laurel St. Roundtables are free for ICGA members, but registration is encouraged. Meals will be included at each session. If you can’t attend a roundtable but wish to bring forth a policy resolution for consideration, contact your local ICGA board member. Go to www.iowacorn.org/ roundtables for more information.
