Creston woman becomes surrogate mother for Missouri couple.

■

to be fined for substantial grass, other debris in streets

By BAILEY POOLMAN CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Editor’s note: This is the first of a two-part series. The second part will be published in tomorrow’s edition of the Creston News Advertiser.

To most parents, a baby is a gift. But to some parents, that gift is a rarity.

To Don and Lisa Protzman, their rare gift was Grant Jento.

The Protzmans of Maryville, Missouri, spent nine roller-coaster years trying to have a baby when Grant was born Feb. 14, 2016 via in-vitro fertilization and a surrogate mother.

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA associate editor khaugen@crestonnews.com

Start of the journey Don and Lisa were married nine years ago, then ages 41 and 38, respectively.

“When we got married, our plan was to have a baby,” Lisa said. “I’d already been tested for fertility. Everything was a go.”

Lisa had never had a child before, and Don had had a vasectomy. After a year of marriage, Don got a vasectomy reversal.

“For the next two years, we attempted to get pregnant, and after a year of fertility treatment from a local doctor, which was probably a mistake, we decided to quit the fertility treatment ... and see what happened,” Don said. “After about three months, she got pregnant.”

But, that first baby miscarried.

“There seemed to be something wrong basically from the get-go,” Don said. “After some time of continuing to try again, we decided to do a little research.”

That was when Don and

Jenny Moon, left, and Lisa Protzman pose for a photo with a chalk sign saying, “My bun, her oven,” during the baby shower for Don and Lisa Protzman’s baby. Moon was the surrogate mother for the Protzmans, who couldn’t have a traditional birth.

Lisa discovered she was perimenopausal and wasn’t producing eggs at the same rate as women in their late teens and early 20s.

“Biology is against you waiting,” Lisa said. “You’re most fertile in those early years.”

According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more women are waiting till their 30s and 40s to have a baby, and 20 percent of women have their first child after the age of 35. However, this leads to a higher risk of infertility because a female’s body is biologically designed to stop producing eggs as they age.

For Lisa, who was in her early 40s at this point, her body wasn’t producing a high number of eggs, and some of those that were produced were not in as good of condition as others.

The next step for the Protzmans was an egg do-

nor.

Egg donor Because they wanted a child who was biologically theirs, Don and Lisa were given the option of harvesting eggs from Lisa to attempt in-vitro fertilization, which means healthy eggs are harvested and fertilized in a lab before being returned to the female.

However, the couple did not want to do this option.

Instead, they put an ad in a local newspaper for an egg donor, and in 2011, after several interviews, they found someone.

From their egg donor, the Protzmans got seven eggs that were fertilized. Two were immediately transferred into Lisa, and the rest were frozen.

“Both took. We had a pregnancy of twins,” Lisa said. “We got to just the day before 16 weeks, and I delivered them at home.”

The twin babies were Don

and Lisa’s second and third miscarriage, which occurred in 2012.

“I was home alone, and it was very disastrous and heart-wrenching,” Lisa said.

Not long after, she collapsed at work and had to have emergency surgery.

“You know, I was close to death,” Lisa said, “which is one of those risks you take if you want to have a baby.”

That December, despite some uterine scarring, Lisa was transferred again with the frozen embryos, and one took. However, before the first trimester was complete, MOTHER | 2A

Soon, Creston residents pushing a substantial amount of grass, leaves or other debris from their residences into streets or alleys will be fined, Creston City Council decided during a regular meeting Tuesday.

“Basically, the impact of this is (debris) ends up in the storm sewers,” said Jim Bristow, Creston waste water superintendent.

“Everything that does go into the Bristow storm sewer system ends up in Hurley Creek, which ends up in McKinley Lake.”

The council decided amendments will be made to ordinance 135.03, which deals with debris, to allow law enforcement to fine citizens who aren’t in compliance.

“It does cause a nuisance,” Bristow said. “Every time we have to go out with that truck and clean those (storm sewers), it costs money – between $76 and $100 an hour, roughly.”

Creston Police Chief Paul Ver Meer and Public Works Director Kevin Kruse discussed how the ordinance will be amended.

“We’ve stopped several times to tell people that you can’t mow your grass into the street, and we always

hear, ‘I didn’t know that was an ordinance,’” Ver Meer said. “And, you’re going to find that a majority of your offenders are repeat offenders – either they’re ignorant or they’re lazy – and they don’t understand that you can’t blow grass in the streets.”

Creston Mayor Gary Lybarger added: “ S o m e of these people have been told and told and told, and Lybarger it hasn’t done any good.”

Ver Meer said debris in a street or alley from a residence will be considered a violation if the debris is at least 4 feet wide and two inches deep.

“If I see a violation ...

I’ll take a picture of it so we have proof of violation, give it to city hall ... and I would also go to Kevin,” Ver Meer said. “If we’re able to, (we will) have the street super go up there and clean it up, and then (the resident) would be assessed whatever fee the council determines is needed for that.”

“Everybody leaves (some grass when mowing),” Bristow said. “That’s not the big impact. We’re not talking a little bit; we’re talking a lot.”

Ver Meer said fining noncompliant citizens should quickly fix the problem.

They lived and raised their family in southwestern Iowa: Bonnie Marie in 1945, Roger Steven in 1946, Connie Margaret in 1952, Davy Dell in 1955 and Cindy Sue in 1957. Daughters, Bonnie in 1998 and Cindy in 1962, preceded him in death.

that baby became the Protzmans’ fourth miscarriage.

“We were afraid to try again because my uterus was damaged now, and if we put another two (eggs) in there, there’s just the likelihood it’s not going to go,” Lisa said. “So, we started thinking about a surrogate.

“We were emotionally wrecked and out of money,” Lisa continued. “And then, a couple of years later, my mom (a massage therapist in Creston) said that she would help us find and pay for a surrogate. My mother happened to know Jenny.”

Clinton and Ruby moved to Livermore, Colorado, in 1991 and lived on or near the Roberts ranch, which was part of the family history since the 1930s. Clinton also loved fishing, bear chasing, mountain hiking, rock hunting, ranch hand, Cat operator, getting his hands dirty and building things, and just doing “whatever blew his hair” as he used to say. “His sense of adventure and love of the outdoors will never leave me” as expressed by one of his granddaughters.

He leaves behind and will be missed by children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, cousins, nieces and nephews, friends and acquaintances.

His legacy and memories will go with us all into the future.

Graveside services will be held 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 19, at Graceland Cemetery in Creston.

Don and Lisa met with Jenny Moon, 42, of Creston in November 2014, when she officially became the couple’s surrogate mother, the woman who would carry the Protzmans’ baby to term.

“I’m friends with (Lisa’s mother) because she’s my massage therapist, and she brought it up one day,” Moon said. “She asked, so I thought I’d talk to them about it because I didn’t know anything about it. I didn’t go out looking for it.”

“I knew the whole time he wasn’t mine. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, don’t get me wrong,” Moon continued.

“But, I knew from the beginning he wasn’t my baby, and that I was just the oven.”

After a series of intense interviews, Moon was approved and put on a threemonth series of hormone injections, pills and patches to prepare her body to accept a fertilized egg. Moon was assisted in the process by

neighbors, friends and her daughter, one of three children Moon has.

However, by the March 22, 2015, target date, Moon’s body was not physically prepared, and after exploratory surgery to discover any underlying conditions, which none were found, Moon began the three-month regimen over again at higher dosages.

“It’s hard to imagine somebody that’s going to go through that kind of excruciating pain, let alone childbirth, for you,” Lisa said.

“But, that’s the kind of wonderful person she is.”

Pregnancy This time, after a target date of June 30, 2015, for the fertilized donated egg transfer, blood tests and a sixweek ultrasound, Moon’s test results came back positive: she was pregnant.

Northey encourages Iowans to run for Soil, Water Conservation District commissioner

justice and mortuary science in Kansas City.

Todd worked as Lake View Deputy Sheriff in Sac County and then went to work for AT&T Cable, both in Denison and Atlantic. He also received his CDL and drove over-the-road for Schnieder for a short time. After moving to Kansas City, he became a licensed funeral director/embalmer, working in Overland Park, Kansas. After moving to Afton, he worked for BunnO-Matic as an assembly worker. He also worked for Roehl Transportation as a truck driver, where he drove for a short time when he lived in Cameron, Missouri. He then drove a truck for Menards and Panama Transfer.

Todd is survived by his parents, Larry and Carlyn Garrett of Dow City; son Jacob Logan Garrett and his mother, Tami Kuehl, both of Mount Ayr and brothers, Troy (Lisa) Garrett of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Thad Garrett of Dow City.

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey is encouraging Iowans interested in protecting the state’s soil and water resources to consider running to serve as a Soil and Water Conservation District commissioner.

Anyone interested in becoming a commissioner should contact their local Soil and Water Conservation District. Nomination papers must be filed by August 31.

“Each of Iowa’s 100 Soil and Water Conservation Districts are managed by five volunteer commissioners who help their community meet their conservation priorities,” Northey said. “Commissioners help oversee the distribution of federal, state and local conservation aid in their community.”

Each of the 100 Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) in Iowa –

one in each county and two in Pottawattamie – is composed of five commissioners and are the local legal subdivisions of state government responsible under state law for soil and water conservation work within their boundaries. Candidates are elected locally on a nonpartisan ballot during the general election.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provide assistance to the commissioners as they seek to address the natural resource issues that are most critical in their districts.

More information can be found on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov by clicking on the “conservation” link at the top of the page.

Lisa said as she looked at Grant. “It was disbelief because we had success on the other two, and I thought this was our time for it not to take. It’s scary. It’s exhilarating. Someone else is carrying your baby and you want to be there. You don’t want to crowd them too much, so you’re trying to find that balance of not being too intrusive, but wanting them to know that you’re so very excited that there’s a baby there.”

After 34 weeks of morning sickness, Moon was put on bed rest.

“The next day (after being put on bed rest), my uncle came over and he said, ‘You don’t look good,’” Moon said. “He went and got his blood pressure cuff and said, ‘You’re going back to the doctor.’ That day, they transported me.”

Moon was transported to Blank Children’s Hospital

“If I write them a citation for that, it’s three weeks until they go to court,” Ver Meer said.

“I think this will be faster, and if people get cited Ver Meer enough, we’re going to find that they’re going to start policing themselves.”

Bristow said he has also received complaints about debris in streets from people washing their vehicles.

“Any citizen can wash any vehicle in the street, and there’s no ordinance against it unless it’s done by business for hire,”

in Des Moines immediately. She was diagnosed with preeclampsia, which is a pregnancy condition characterized by swelling, fluid in the lungs and high blood pressure.

“They were trying to get to 37 weeks because that was full term, but it just wasn’t safe for her, and the baby, too. He started showing symptoms of a little bit of stress in there,” Lisa said.

“So, on Valentine’s day, they decided to take him by C-section.”

On Valentine’s Day, after nine years, Don and Lisa, who are now 50 and 46 respectively, waited while Moon was in surgery delivering the Protzmans’ baby.

“You’re really nervous because they put so much into this, and you know, Lisa, I didn’t want to break her heart again,” Moon said.

“She’s put all this into me, so I didn’t want it to fail again.”

Bristow said. “We do have a lot of heavy equipment stuff that’s being washed in the streets, a lot of mud, (and it’s the) same impact as the grass. That might be something that needs to be changed. I feel it falls into the same category, but right now ... they can wash their mud and debris in the street, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”

The council agreed to amend the debris ordinance and to decide whether issues with debris caused by washing vehicles in the street should be in the same ordinance or its own: the washing vehicles ordinance.

The cost of fines and other specifications of changes to the debris ordinance will be brought before the council at the next regular meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16.

A public hearing will also be set on the matter before the ordinance is amended.

DNR officials also proposed a commercial trapping season that begins July 1 and runs through Dec. 31 to protect turtles during their nesting season.

Some trappers in the state said the proposed changes will likely put them out of business.

There are 48 people in the state who are currently licensed as commercial turtle trappers.

Michael O’Hearn, a trapper from Northboro, said “It’s kind of a back door way of taking away commercial harvest by limiting it to the point where it’s not financially viable.”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, August 3, 2016

America’s big mess HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The White House said Russia might be behind the hacking of Democratic National Committee computers and exposing secret back-room deliberations.

It makes my head spin. There’s not a Baby Boomer alive who’d have thought that a free press in America would be brought back by the Russians.

The Gallup Poll said Friday 70 percent of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction and 70 percent don’t like Hillary and 70 percent don’t like Trump. This nation is an absolute mess. If America died right now, police would say there were signs of a struggle.

Hillary Clinton hit the campaign trail in Pennsylvania Friday after becoming the first woman nominated for president at the Democratic convention. Her nomination reflected an advance in equal opportunities for wom-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

en worldwide. These days, even Russian girls can grow up to be hackers.

The New York Post on its front page Sunday published stunningly beautiful nude photographs of Melania Trump 20 years ago when she modeled. The Post is so popular because of how it illustrates the news. Every other paper in New York simply reported record heat in the Tri-State Area.

Melania Trump deleted her professional website over the weekend after it was found to be lying about her graduating from college in Europe. She lied, then deleted the evidence to cover up the lies. Two weeks ago, Melania was doing Michelle Obama’s act and now she’s doing Hillary Clin-

ton’s.

The New York Post ran old nude photos of Melania kissing another naked female model in a lesbian love scene Monday.

A week earlier, Donald got the GOP convention to applaud gay inclusion. At this rate, Donald Trump could be the first Republican to carry West Hollywood since Calvin Coolidge.

Mark Cuban appeared on Stephen Colbert’s show Friday where Mark Cuban said that Donald Trump has gone crazy.

Cuban called Trump crazy. That’s like Cuban Charlie Sheen turning up at your intervention and telling you how your drinking, your promiscuity and your drug use is affecting him.

Donald Trump ripped the Debates Commission for scheduling

the debates against NFL prime time games. All year, Hillary’s blamed everything on Bush and Trump’s blamed everything on Obama. The NFL season reminds us that this is America, where we blame everything on Tony Romo.

Donald Trump was late to his Colorado speech Sunday because he got stuck in an elevator for a half hour. Firemen had to lower a ladder to get him out of the elevator. In his next three speeches, he called for a temporary halt on immigration from any nation that has people named Otis living in it.

The Washington Post slammed Hillary Clinton for telling Fox News that the FBI Director did not say she lied about sending classified material over her private e-mail server. He clearly said Hillary didn’t tell the truth.

What’s even more outlandish, she said how nice it was to be on Fox News.

Wikileaks founder Julian As-

sange said he’s got plenty more Democratic National Committee e-mails to release Sunday. Everyone has one question. Was that Morgan Freeman who narrated Hillary Clinton’s introduction video at the Democratic convention or did the DNC pay God to do it?

USA Today quoted a Brazilian doctor warning that Olympic athletes will literally be swimming in human waste at the aquatic venues in Rio. You can’t make it up.

What better way to start a pandemic than getting people from all over the planet to swim in a cesspool and then go back home.

Turkey’s government blasted the U.S. for failure to support Turkey following the recently failed military coup there. What a bunch of crybabies. If Turkey wanted the U.S. to invade them, they should have called us when the price of oil, tobacco and heroin was high enough to make it worth our while.

2016

Donald Trump got sound advice the other day. At a rally at Davenport, Iowa, he told the crowd that a prominent supporter had called and urged him not to sweat all the attacks at the Democratic National Convention.

“Don’t hit down,” the supporter urged, according to Trump.

“You have one person to beat.

It’s Hillary Rodham Clinton.” By Trump’s account, he conceded the good sense of this, although he noted how he always prefers hitting back – “it makes me feel good.”

If so, he must have enjoyed his weekend. He spent it attacking not just Khizr Khan, the Muslim father of a soldier killed in Iraq who spoke at the DNC, but his wife. In other words, roughly 48 hours after publicly sharing the advice he had gotten not to punch down, Trump delivered a flurry of downward blows the likes of which we haven’t seen from a presidential candidate in memory.

The old political and media rule is unassailable. When you are the bigger, more famous figure, you only draw more attention to a less prominent critic by engaging. If people hadn’t heard, or heard about, Khan’s short speech against Trump at the DNC before, they probably have now.

In its unadorned righteous indignation, the Khan DNC speech was a stinging rebuke of Trump – Khan suggested the Republican candidate hasn’t read the Consti-

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

tution, nor ever sacrificed anything for the country – and the mogul duly acted stung.

His first swipe was at Khan’s wife, Ghazala, for standing silently at her husband’s side during the speech (perhaps, Trump implied, she was forbidden from speaking as a woman?). In subsequently trying to tamp down the controversy, Trump stoked it further by saying Khizr Khan had “no right” to criticize him as he had and complaining about his viciousness.

The Trump response predictably fueled an all-out media blitz by the Khans. It validated one of the main lines of criticism of Trump at the DNC -- that he is so thin-skinned, he can’t be entrusted with the awesome powers of the presidency. And his religiously fraught slap at Khan’s wife and his rhetorical manhandling of a family who had sacrificed so much for the country reinforced the sense that he refuses to honor basic political norms.

It’s not that grief validates a particular point of view, or someone who has suffered a terrible loss should be above criticism.

But the grieving mother or father deserves an extra measure of respect. This isn’t just Politics 101, but Decency 101.

President George W. Bush was gentle with Cindy Sheehan, the gold-star mother who became a fierce critic of the Iraq War. Asked on “Fox News Sunday” about two parents of State Department employees killed in the Benghazi attack who have criticized her -- including Patricia Smith at the Republican National Convention -- Hillary Clinton said first, “My heart goes out to both of them,” and then countered their criticisms without making it personal.

This isn’t hard. Trump may figure he needn’t bother because he has weathered so many other controversies that appalled critics on the left and the right. But the playing field is different when he is potentially three months away from being elected president of the United States, as opposed to a Republican primary contender among many others. It is one thing to beat Ted Cruz and his family about the head and shoulders – he’s just another pol – but something else entirely to do it to the parents of an exemplary young man who sacrificed his life protecting others in Iraq.

Trump believes, from his decades in the public eye in the media capital of the world, that it always pays to be on the attack. This isn’t true anymore. The question no longer is whether he can garner headlines, but whether he can demonstrate his suitability to becoming commander in chief.

The only one he’s hurt by his assault on the Khans is himself.

BUSINESS/FARM

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, August 3, 2016

6 Iowa farm families receive Dusty Kile joins American 2016 Way We Live award Angus Association DES MOINES – Six Iowa farm families will be recognized as recipients of 2016 Way We Live Award at the Iowa State Fair. Each entrant was asked to submit a short essay describing how the occupation of farming and living on a farm has shaped their lives. Six families were chosen based on their dedication to agriculture and strong Iowa farm values. Thirty-eight entries were submitted in all.

Each award-winning family receives a prize package of $250, complimentary fair admission tickets, free parking, various coupon books and recognition in the Paul R. Knapp Animal Learning Center during the fair. The Way We Live award is sponsored by WHO NewsRadio

1040.

One of the six is the Jennett family of Blockton who will be presented the award Wednesday, Aug. 17.

Steve Jennett began farming with his father in 1989 after graduating from Iowa State University. After marrying in 1990, Steve and Chantelle purchased 280 acres where they raise three children.

Today, the Jennetts’ farm includes row crops, wean to finish hogs and custom-raised broiler chickens.

Each family member plays an important role on the farm. Steve plants, harvests and manages the hog and chicken operations. Chantelle helps with the chicken operation and bookwork for the farm. Their eldest, Mag-

gie, helps around the farm with chickens and hogs when she is home from school. Mitchell, their son, helps to load hogs, grind feed for the hog operation and help with chicken unloading and general care of the barns. The youngest, Lindsey, helps with chicken chores, 4-H lamb chores and general help around the house.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. David Young (R-Iowa) recently announced the city of Des Moines will receive $8 million in grant funding through U.S. Department of Transportation’s TIGER Grant Program.

The grant will support the city of Des Moines’ proposed project, “Bridges to Opportunity: Des Moines’ Community Connection,” to reconstruct and replace several roadway and multi-use trail bridges in downtown Des Moines.

“This announcement is exciting news for Iowans in Des Moines and the greater metropolitan area and will have an important

impact on the current and future development and connectivity of our city and the region,” Young said.

“I support efforts such as this to improve the longevity, safety and stability of our infrastructure in Iowa and across the country, which is also why I voted for a long-term transportation funding bill last year.

I look forward to seeing firsthand the benefits and improvement this grant will bring to the economy and our communities.”

“The city of Des Moines wants to thank the U.S. Department of Transportation and Congress for granting this award to us which is vital to the continued success of our

community,” Des Moines Mayor Frank Cownie said.

“This project allows us to connect all sectors of our city to the opportunities at the heart of Iowa.”

Congressman Young urged the US DOT Secretary Anthony Foxx to consider the city of Des Moines’ grant application earlier this year.

A cold approach Dear Heloise: When baking your favorite BLUEBERRY muffins or bread, fold the blueberries in last and while still FROZEN. They will not bleed into your mixture, so no more “blue” bread. – Cathy F., Conover, N.C. Cathy, thanks for the hint!

It seems some folks don’t like the “green/blue” color!

Another hint: Roll the frozen berries in a little bit of flour until coated. Not only will it help minimize the blue “bleeding,” but it also will keep the berries from all falling to the bottom while baking. – Heloise P.S.: I don’t mind the blue color – it’s the taste that counts!

LEFTOVER RICE Dear Heloise: Here’s a use for leftover rice that’s also good for moms trying to cool down hot soup for little ones instead of using ice cubes. Take a baking sheet and cover it with plastic wrap. Using a 1/3-cup measure, take the cold, leftover rice and press into the cup.

Turn upside down, making a mound. Cover rice mounds with another piece of plastic wrap and place in the freezer. When serving hot soup,

Hints from Heloise place a rice mound at the bottom of the bowl and pour hot soup over it. This will cool the soup. – Sue in Texas Love this soup-cooling hint, which saves money and cuts down on food waste!

For delicious family and friends’ soup recipes, and some helpful soup hints, order my soup pamphlet by going online to www.Heloise.com, or by sending $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (68 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Soups, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. When making a clear soup or broth, freeze any leftover to “cool” a soup without diluting it. Leftover pasta is another great food to add to any soup! – Heloise PROTECT STEMWARE Dear Heloise: My family eats a lot of fruit, like Asian pears, that comes individually wrapped in a kind of netted, plastic, stretchy material. I save all these pieces, and they are perfect to

cover wineglasses and other stemware. Hope this hint helps anyone who is moving soon and has to pack delicate glassware. – Jennifer T., Colorado Springs, Colo.

Not just when moving, but when storing them away! No bumps, no chips. Thanks! – Heloise SAVE CRUMBS Dear Heloise: I hate to throw away the last of the bag of chips or crackers (any flavor, the more the better).

I crush them up, freeze them and add to it whenever I get more. I add grated Parmesan cheese, spices and whatever else. When I need breading for meat or filler for a casserole, I use these. I get compliments all the time. – Bette D., Church Hill, Tenn.

BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker LOBSTER BIBS Dear Heloise: I saw some light cotton covers for chair pads with ties to attach to a chair, and realized that these would be perfect adult bibs, so I purchased two. My husband and I love them as lobster bibs or for other messy foods. They can be laundered easily. – Jean M., Torrington, Conn.

Horoscope For Thursday, Aug. 4, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)You’re keen to get better organized today, even though someone who is a teacher or from another culture might discourage you. Perhaps this person wants to play?

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Explore creative opportunities today. Accept invitations to party and enjoy sports events and the arts. Financial restrictions might limit your choice.

(Ain’t it the truth?)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Lately, your busy pace has been exhausting. That’s why you welcome an opportunity to cocoon at home and enjoy the comfort of familiar surroundings.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Today you’re full of bright ideas that you want to share with others. Late in the day, someone might discourage you, because this person is older or more experienced.

Don’t let this happen.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Keep an eye on your finances today, because you might want to shop or explore financial negotiations. Whatever you do seems to be at odds with your social plans.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be aware that your reaction to others and daily events might be more emotional than usual today. Don’t worry about this -- it happens. (An older family member might discourage you.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Work alone or behind the scenes today, because this will suit you best. Your increased popularity lately has stretched you a bit thin. Take a rest!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Enjoy schmoozing with others today, especially younger people. A serious conversation with a female acquaintance will be important.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You are high-viz today -- people notice you. This suits you perfectly, because you have something to say. Don’t second-guess yourself and don’t hold back.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a fun day to discuss future travel plans. You will enjoy meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds because you want to expand your experience of the world.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to

Feb. 18)Tie up loose details regarding debt, shared property, taxes and inheritances.

Someone older than you might have strong opinions about this late in the day.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)You have to compromise with others, because the Moon is opposite your sign. This is not a big deal. Just go with the flow. Late in the day, someone older might be opinionated.

(Dodge this if you can.)

YOU BORN TODAY You are confident, extroverted and independent. You are ambi-

tious and serious about your work. You lead a busy life, but you are also very caring. In the next three years, you will experience a time of culmination, success and financial accumulation. That’s why it is wise to settle your debts this year. This is also a social year!

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, August 3, 2016

How to throw a seamless summer gathering amazing Spinach and Goat Cheese Frittata that’s perfect to serve any size group - from two to 10. It’s truly the perfect entree for a Sunday brunch. I’m sharing the recipe because you’re going to want to try it.”

When you’re in the kitchen, make sure you’ve got the right tools and equipment - dependable appliances are a must.

“The new line of appliances from LG Studio that I helped design combines the highest quality in design with the best of the best in terms of functionality,” Berkus says. “It features a timeless, prostyle design that you’ll love today and 10 years from now, along with flexible performance.”

For example, the new double wall oven from LG Studio can help you cook like a pro in your own home with features like an exclusive fourmode “true convection” technology for even heat distribution and even cooking on every rack, along with a gliding rack system that extends over the open oven door for easy and safe access to food.

3. Style seamlessly Pick a color scheme and stick to it, then mix in neutral and wovens with things like napkin rings and small vases to create interesting texture that won’t overpower your guests. Floral arrangements or touches of greenery are a great nod to summer and will dress up any table.

“I love blushes and naturals for summer parties; it feels really fresh and inviting,” Berkus says.

“As far as greenery goes, I’m loving potted succulents and air plants. They create unexpected moments, and are a talking point. Green branches in vases are another great way to add height and color.”

4. Repurpose the things you love You want your party decor to be on-point, but every party has a budget.

“I always tell people to use what they already have,” Berkus says. “Pull things from around your house, like vases, trays, ceramics bowls, etc. They’ll look great whether repurposed for the buffet table, or incorporated into the tablescape.”

If it’s an outdoor par-

ty, think about using your favorite lamps, throw pillows or even a rug outside to elevate the decor and really set the scene for your gathering.

These few simple steps are the key to creating a beautiful, seamless summer gathering that your guests will talk about for months to come. And the most important thing to remember is to enjoy the moment.

Athena Calderone’s recipe: SPINACH AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA Ingredients: 1/2 pound baby potatoes 10 large eggs 1/3 cup creme fraiche 3/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 leek, halved lengthwise, rinsed and thinly sliced 1 spring onion, thinly sliced 2 cups lightly packed baby spinach

3 ounces goat cheese Handful torn parsley Handful chopped dill Handful chopped chives Salt and pepper Directions: Heat the oven to 350 F. Boil the potatoes until fork-tender. When cool enough to handle, thinly slice.

Whisk together the eggs, creme fraiche and salt.

Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet, cast iron or non-

stick, over medium heat.

Add the leek and onion and saute until translucent. Add the potatoes and cook another few minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the spinach and cook just until wilted. Pour in the egg mixture and cook for a few minutes, pushing the cooked eggs to the center of the pan. Place in the oven and cook just until set, about 12-15 minutes.

Cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs.

(BPT) – You’ll likely host a party or two this summer, and you want it to be an event guests remember. From dinner parties and backyard barbecues to an easy Sunday morning get-together, the most important thing at the end of the day is that you, along with your guests, have a really great time. Why entertain otherwise?

“Creating a seamless summer party is all about preparation,” says Nate Berkus, noted interior designer and artistic advisor to LG Studio. “I always tell people the most important thing is that everyone, including the host, is enjoying themselves. Make sure you brew coffee ahead of time, set out a pitcher of lemonade and decorate with a bouquet of fresh flowers. Don’t over-complicate anything from food to decor, and everything else will fall into place.”

1. Be prepared You don’t want to be sweating the small details once the party gets started. Have your food and beverage options ready to go before guests even step in the door. Bake pastries ahead of time, brew coffee and order in from your favorite restaurant, and set it all up on the kitchen counter or island. Put silverware and glassware out, buffet-style; it’s so much easier than trying to coordinate a sit-down dinner. Plus, your guests can help themselves so you get to mingle and enjoy yourself as well.

You’ll immediately elevate a summer beverage like lemonade by adding lavender or berries, and serving it in a chic glass pitcher. “I love to create a signature cocktail at any party I host - it just feels special,” Berkus says. “Set up a bar cart in the corner with other drink options, linen napkins and gold stirrers and let guests refill as they need.”

2. Simplify the menu The secret to any great party is choosing menu items that you can prepare ahead and that will totally wow your guests.

“I don’t cook but luckily I have great friends - and a husband - who do,” Berkus says. “My good friend Athena Calderone of Eyeswoon makes this

Alliant Energy announces $1B wind project to advance clean energy The project supports Iowa’s vision for growing renewable energy n

CEDAR RAPIDS – Iowans will soon see a significant increase in clean, economical wind generation from Alliant Energy.

Alliant Energy CEO Patricia Kampling and Gov. Terry Branstad recently announced the utility

will invest approximately $1 billion to expand its wind-energy operations in the state. “Our customers expect low-cost, clean energy, which is exactly what this project will bring to the communities we serve,� said Doug Kopp, president of Alliant Energy’s Iowa utility. “Wind has no fuel costs and zero emissions, making it a win-win for Iowans and the Iowa economy.�

Alliant Energy’s Iowa

utility is seeking regulatory approval to expand its Whispering Willow Wind Farm in Franklin County and possibly develop wind energy in other areas of the state. The five-year project will add up to 500 megawatts of clean energy to economically meet customer needs. The company is seeking approval now to maximize the value of renewable energy tax credits to benefit its customers.

The new wind project is

part of Alliant Energy’s vision for a clean energy future. From 2005 to 2030, Alliant Energy is targeting a 40 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.

In addition, the project will generate tens of millions of dollars in property taxes and result in more than 1,500 jobs at the height of construction – boosting Iowa’s economy while supporting customers seeking to use more

renewable energy.

Financial information • In June, Alliant Energy released a request for proposals for more wind generation. • Alliant Energy’s Iowa utility (Interstate Power and Light) filed an application for advanced ratemaking principles on the expansion of Whispering Willow and other potential locations. • If the advanced
