Creston Area Food Pantry settles into new location Proceeds from the O’Riley Center, a reception hall, will be given to the food pantry.

The Creston Area Food Pantry moved into its new location on the lower level of 417 Wyoming Ave. over the summer, distributing food at the location for the first time on Aug. 6.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held 10 a.m.

Wednesday, with tours of the pantry being given by pantry volunteers following the ceremony.

At 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, the public is invited to attend the first organizational meeting of the Creston Area Food Pantry to establish its board of directors and begin

the process of applying for its own nonprofit status with the state of Iowa.

“We’d like to get a group of people together so we can have a board of directors,” said Kathy Goodrich, program coordinator for Creston Area Food Pantry. “It’s kind of taken off. It’s been a whirlwind the last couple of months. A lot of positive things are going on.”

Formerly located at United Church of Christ in Creston, the food pantry began moving into its new location in June. After hosting nearly 75 RAGBRAI riders on July 25, work began on transforming the former Assembly of God Church into the food pantry.

Twenty-one volunteers helped move appliances out of the old food pantry location into its new location.

When Jessica White left Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines Sept. 2 , she left with the promise of a ring on her finger.

White left engaged to Matthew Freese, both of Creston, who decided he wanted to spend his life

Romance Freese, 28, and White, 29, went on their first date in July 2015, about six years after they first met through a mutual friend.

The two had reconnected when they began working at Bunn-O-Matic together.

“He didn’t tell me where we were going,” White said. “It was a surprise.

Then he took me out to eat in Des Moines and he took me to the Funny Bone (a comedy club).”

Since that first date, White gave birth to their first child together, Corbin, a little brother to White’s first son, Carson. Several weeks after Corbin’s birth, everything

changed.

Accident “It all kind of blurs together,” Freese described.

The blurs were the accident he was in Aug. 31, from which he was flown by air ambulance to Des Moines.

Scarce cash in land of plenty: Farmers adjust to downturn MAXWELL (AP) — Pale green and 8 feet tall, tightly packed corn stalks reach to the horizon throughout the Midwest in what is likely to be the biggest harvest the U.S. has ever seen.

Aside from a sense of pride in breaking the previous record by nearly a billion bushels, farmers won’t benefit.

They’ll lose money on virtually every cob.

It’ll be the third consecutive year in which most corn farmers will spend more than they’ll earn. The growing has been too good and the resulting glut of corn depressed prices to a decade-low. It’s a similar story for soybeans, the second most common Midwest crop.

As a result, farmers are cutting costs, dipping into savings or going further into debt. Federal crop insurance and payments that help protect farmers when prices fall too low offer some protection, yet many farmers and their spouses supplement income with off-the-farm jobs. The drop in farm profits raises questions about agriculture’s boom-and-bust cycles and why people adhere to what at times is seemingly not a sustainable business model. “I am 67 years old and when we examined my Social Security records recently, I had a 12-year stretch when I didn’t pay myself one single dime,� said Wayne Humphreys, who grows corn and soybeans and raises hogs in southwest Iowa. “We lived on my wife’s salary. Everything else went to the farm.�

Corn and soybean prices reached their height in 2012 but have since plunged, resulting in a 42 percent drop in farm income. For the nation’s roughly 2 million family farms, the average household income will be $118,890, but only about a fifth will come from the farm itself, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said recently. “Typically this time of year the dealership would be talking to me about getting a new planter, and they have talked to us and we told them we’re going to pass,� said Joe Steinkamp who farms corn, soybean and occasionally wheat near Evansville, Indiana. “Obviously we’re concerned and we’re watching our pennies as we go.�

To get by, nearly a third of U.S. farms have to borrow money, and borrowing has increased because farmers need to finance operating costs and near-historic low interest rates make borrowing inexpensive. But banks are reporting an increase of past-due loans, an indication that borrowers are struggling to repay in a time of tight profit margins.

The current situation isn’t like the 1980s, when foreclosures contributed to the loss of 292,000 farms over a 10-year period. Some of that was caused by farmers who borrowed heavily during the 1970s’ low-interest rates then defaulted due to the combination of higher interest rates and collapsed crop prices.

The less-established farmers who rent expensive farmland or went into debt to purchase land or new equipment are “the ones I worry about,� said Harold Wolle, a fifth-generation family farmer from south-central Minnesota.

But sixth-generation Iowa farmer Grant Kimberley, who farms with his father, cautions that all is not well for those who’ve been doing this for a while, either.

“It’s getting to a tougher stage even for farms that are more established. Everybody’s feeling it now, especially guys like my dad. He’s 65 years old and has done really well and built things up, but we hope this doesn’t last forever because you hate to see a lot of those gains they’ve made over the years virtually get eroded,� Kimberley said.

To protect themselves, many farmers have diversified their operations — and sometimes, their crops — so when corn and soybeans aren’t profitable, other aspects of the farm may be. “To be a good farmer, you have to be a good agronomist, you have to be a good marketer and you have to be basically good at farm business management,� said Chad Hart, an agriculture economist at Iowa State University. “You can’t just specialize and be a good producer and not be good at the others.�

Nebraska farmer Ben Steffen knows this: He milks 140 dairy cows in addition to growing corn, soybeans and wheat. The increased demand for cheese and improved milk prices has improved his bottom line.

And Kirby Hettver has sold a Monsanto-brand seed and precision planter parts for a few years in addition to helping his dad and brother grow corn, soybean and alfalfa in west-central Minnesota. “It has added a revenue stream for us, but more importantly, I’ve become a much better agronomist for our own farm with the knowledge I’ve learned from both of those businesses,� he said.

Farmers go out of business every year for a variety of reasons but “we’re going to see more of that than we do in typical year,� Hart said. Some have walked away from rented land or sold off some land in a last-ditch effort to generate cash, Kimberley said.

Crop insurance and farm support programs designed to step in when commodity prices fall too low or revenue plummets will help. Direct government payments to farmers are expected to increase nearly 25 percent to $13.5 billion this year, the USDA estimated, though that also includes money for disaster relief.

Debt and losses are an acceptable part of the cycle for farmers who crave the intangibles: the unpredictability of farming and the renewed hope that comes with every spring planting. All it takes is a drought, flood or other natural disaster in another part of the world to disrupt a crop and prices could jump, creating profit potential. “If you don’t mind a little heartburn and lost sleep and a little hard work, it’s fun,� Steffen said.

But down cycles can shake even the hardiest of farmers, said Kimberley, who’s also employed by the Iowa Soybean Association and leads the Iowa Biodiesel Board. “It does make you think twice. Do I really want to deal with this kind of life where four out of 10 years I’m most likely going to lose money?� he said. “It’s a great life. It’s been a good business on and off, but, man, I wish there was a little bit more consistency to it.�

move the pantry, we looked around for different buildings,� Creston Area Food Pantry Volunteer Mary O’Riley said. “My husband and I had the opportunity to look at this building. As we came in the back door and looked at all the r o o m s and everything, we knew O’Riley this would be so much more accessible than where we were at UCC. At UCC, we had steps to deal with and an elevator.�

Now, the food pantry is located entirely on one floor, making it easily accessible to wheelchairs and volunteers unloading food. “Before we had to go down stairs to get in and up stairs to get out,� Goodrich said. “Some of the elderly people were having trouble with that. It’s just worked out much better this way.�

Freese’s vehicle entered the south ditch, where it rolled and came to rest on its top. Cory’s vehicle entered the north ditch facing south. Debris from Freese’s vehicle made contact with a 2013 Chevrolet driven west on Highway 25 by Sasha Lea Miller, 26, of Greenfield, causing front-end damage.

Freese was transported to Des Moines by air ambulance for non-life-threatening injuries. Cory refused medical treatment at the scene. Miller was transported to Greater Regional Medical Center for injuries caused by the airbag. “I got a call from my work actually. For some reason the ambulance called them looking for me, but I was on maternity leave,� White said. “My best friend at Bunn, she called me and told me about it, and I was

food to 313 households with 816 individuals. “It’s not only for Creston. We do serve people from Lorimor and Prescott areas,� Goodrich said. “It’s any surrounding areas that need the help.�

The food pantry relies entirely on donations to provide food for those in need.

Shopping is done at Food Bank of Iowa, where $1 will provide four meals.

Orders are placed one week in advance and when volunteers from the Creston Area Food Bank arrive at Food Bank of Iowa, they are given 20 minutes to gather food and check out. “We usually have four or five people who go to Des Moines every week,� O’Riley said. “On the way up, we talk about who’s going to go to what department to get what. We get it, we weigh it and we’re out of there in 20 minutes. So 2-3,000 pounds of food every week is obtained in 20 minutes.�

White was told her boyfriend was in a rollover accident and was unconscious. “I didn’t know what had happened,� White said. “It was one of those things where you go, ‘Is he alive?’ It was shocking.�

Des Moines Freese had keys to both of their vehicles, so White’s friend picked her up and drove to the hospital. “Nobody had any idea what was going on when I got there,� White said. “The guy in the ambulance called me and let me talk to Matt.

So, I knew he was able to talk and knew he was alive.�

Freese was flown to Iowa Methodist from Creston for various injuries, including a piece of metal through his knee, and White and her friend drove to the Des Moines hospital after taking her oldest to stay with family and packing baby items for her 1-month-old. “I just remember being taken by ambulance to the hospital, and then being Life Flighted to Des Moines and being in the trauma center for quite a while,� Freese recalled.

building on the lower level, they are greeted with coffee and ice cream until their number is called. Once their number is called, they are given a box and cart and move through several rooms picking out food items.

How much of each item a person is able to select is determined by the size of the family he or she is shopping for. “The goal is to supplement a person’s food budget,� O’Riley said. “We aren’t providing their groceries for a week or several days; we’re supplementing what they have at home.�

In addition to providing food, the Creston Area Food Pantry also provides personal-care items on the first Sunday of every month.

The food pantry is open from 12 to 2 p.m. every Sunday and also opens its doors on an emergency basis when someone is in dire need of food.

For five weeks in July, the pantry provided 10,087 pounds of food to 368 households comprised of 961 individuals. With four distributions in August, the pantry provided 13,929 pounds of

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, September 13, 2016

Change is inevitable Candidates for office talk a lot about bringing manufacturing jobs back to America. I, too, wish we could bring them back, and it really makes me angry when companies move their operations out of the country.

What we have to remember, unfortunately, is that many manufacturing jobs are not just disappearing from our own soil, they are disappearing altogether. Technology and innovation have helped bring about the loss of good manufacturing jobs that enabled millions of Americans to rise to the middle class. In their place are new jobs, but they require new skill sets and not everyone will have the opportunity to adapt.

The agriculture sector has experienced the same thing. We’re realizing that we are never going back to the way of life we older adults experienced on the farm.

In those days, farm families worked and played together, ate

In other words June Bower

all our meals together and were satisfied with modest means. But that was before farms grew from a few hundred acres to thousands of acres and machinery began costing more than a house.

We’ll never again experience small town living as it was 50 years ago, either. Although we continue to try to recapture this past lifestyle, we’ve never been very successful at turning back the clock. We simply don’t have enough people in rural areas to sustain schools and churches, and prevent main street businesses from losing their shoppers to Wal-Mart and city malls. Extraordinary efforts are made to revitalize our communities, but sometimes it’s just not possible

to stem a tide.

Although it’s hard for some of us to adjust to loss and decline, many people readily accept change as inevitable. They live their lives, not by looking back, but always looking forward.

When a door closes, they open the next door, and it makes them more durable, more resilient to the ups and downs that come naturally in life.

When a tradition is no longer useful to these people, they simply make new traditions. They don’t seem to fear innovation and change, so they embrace new technology, new ideas and accept new people more easily into their lives. They willingly expose themselves to new experiences and frankly are bored by old experiences. They’re comfortable with the new and they don’t spend a lot of time fretting about the old.

Although most of us accept change much like these folks

do, it’s still possible to sympathize with those among us who are upset at how different our way of life has become. We can all relate to their pain of losing something they hold dear, and we know it sometimes explains the need to look for a scapegoat.

It can explain the need to blame the so-called establishment, or the government or anybody else in charge. It can also explain the need to blame foreigners or people who look different, or anyone who thinks or worships differently than we do.

I guess this is human nature, but it’s not a very admirable aspect of human nature. Sometimes it can look ugly and sound ugly, and it does nothing to help someone move on with their lives. This kind of thinking prevents them from making the adjustments that will be necessary if they’re going to have a productive life.

People have always com-

plained about change. There were those who didn’t want to give up horses for the new-fangled machines called tractors. There are those who have been fighting consolidation of schools, going as far back as the one-room schoolhouses. There are those who hate computers and the new ways of teaching math and the use of technology to teach science and literature. And there are those who have always resented immigrants coming to America, just like those people today that fear Hispanics and Syrians and people of color moving into our communities. At one time, it was Irish immigrants who were hated and rejected.

This fear is usually based on a belief that something is being taken from us. It causes us to waste valuable time digging in our heels when we should be stepping forward. Many of us are finding out, however, when we resist change, we get left behind.

PEOPLE

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, September 13, 2016

Long-silent voices speak loudly at Toronto Film Festival Carter, Hockenberry to TORONTO (AP) — Living partly in the Ugandan capital of Kampala where she runs a film school, the Indian-born filmmaker Mira Nair is regularly surrounded by lives she rarely sees reflected back by the movies.

“The dignity of everyday life — the beauty of it, the attitude of it — is what I live around,” says Nair. “And it is never on screen and it is certainly never associated with Africa. If we see Africa at all, it is always used as a backdrop: a big blob of a continent rather than a specific street or a country or a place.”

Nair premiered her upcoming Disney film “Queen of Katwe,” about a chess prodigy who rose from the slums of Uganda, at the Toronto International Film Festival over the weekend. But she was far from the only filmmaker at the festival focused on capturing lives and faces that have had to fight for their place on the big screen.

A rich crop of racially diverse films is poised to disrupt two straight years of overwhelmingly white Academy Awards. But there’s a larger groundswell at work.

“The creators have taken it upon themselves to create these stories,” says Barry Jenkins, whose coming-of-age tale “Moonlight” has been one of the most acclaimed films of the festival. “The point is all these men and women of color and different sexualities are now saying: ‘I’m tired of this.

There’s no reason I should be voiceless. I’m going to take the incentive to tell these stories.’”

Jenkins’ “Moonlight,” a lyrical portrait of a gay black kid growing up poor in Miami, like most of the other films due this fall, was conceived long before the Oscar diversity crisis.

The same is true for Nate Parker’s “The Birth of a Nation,” about Nat Turner’s slave rebellion, which was hailed as the antidote Hollywood needed. Yet the film arrived at Toronto overshadowed by a rape case from Parker’s past and its prospects are very much in question.

But there are many other films rushing forward, propelled by an urgency to tell stories about people that have seldom felt Hollywood’s lens on them.

Theodore Melfi’s “Hidden Figures,” which is due out in early January but is widely expected to get an awards push, is about a trio of African-American mathematicians whose work was integral to NASA in the early 1960s.

The film, crowd-pleasing and comical, was previewed in Toronto. It stars Octavia Spencer, Taraji P. Henson and Janelle Monae, all of whom were visibly moved at an event for the movie.

“People come up to me and they’re like, ‘Oh, Oscars!’ Everybody wants to put on that pressure,” said Henson. “I don’t accept that pressure. I’ll let you all say it. But what I was most concerned about was if (the NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson)

would be proud, because she’s still alive.”

“Loving,” directed by Jeff Nichols, stars Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton as Mildred and Richard Loving, whose interracial marriage got them exiled from Virginia and eventually led to the Supreme Court’s landmark 1967 ruling Loving v. Virginia.

Having already premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, “Loving” — a patiently told tale of steadfast love — is very much on a potential awards trajectory.

But it isn’t the only interracial marriage movie at Toronto. David Oyelowo, who also stars in “Queen of Katwe,” debuted Amma Asante’s “A United Kingdom,” in which Oyelowo plays the Botswana royal Seretse Khama. His marriage to Ruth Williams (Rosamund Pike) sparked outrage both in the U.K. and his African tribe.

“It’s very exciting and partly because so many of these films have been made by people of color. That’s a shift,” said Oyelowo. “A few years ago that had people of color in central roles but they were still being made predominantly by white men.”

Oyelowo’s lack of a nomination for his performance as Martin Luther King Jr. in 2014’s “Selma” was a flashpoint in the backlash against the Oscars. Earlier this year, partly to combat what some called the Academy of Motion Pictures’ institutional biases, Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs led changes to the

group’s bylaws intended to diversify the membership.

“The thing I’m encouraged by is we are no longer just talking about diversity, we’re doing diversity,” said Oyelowo. “I really commend the Academy for the changes that are being instituted. I think we all agree the Academy is not the reason for a lack of diversity or inclusion in film, but it has been in the past another outward show of some of the problems from a representation point of view in the industry.”

This year’s nominees will, of course, be keenly watched. Will the results be any different?

Antoine Fuqua, who directed Denzel Washington’s Oscar-winning performance in “Training Day” says there are more important things to worry about. He premiered his “The Magnificent Seven” as the opening film at Toronto. The film boasts a diverse cast Fuqua intended as an updating of the historically homogenous Western.

“Focus on your work.

Don’t whine about whether that film didn’t work out, or people didn’t accept you or nominate you for that movie,” said Fuqua. “You should already be on to your next one. You have to go: ‘Well, OK, they didn’t acknowledge me on that. Maybe it was a color thing. Maybe it wasn’t.’”

“The Academy Awards is one night,” he added.

“But you’ve got the rest of the year to focus on your work. What are you going to do next?”

Parker, cast argue for ‘Birth of a Nation’ despite scandal TORONTO (AP) — In a carefully stage-managed press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival, Nate Parker and the cast of his Nat Turner slave revolt drama “The Birth of a Nation” argued for focusing on their film and not on the years-old rape allegation against Parker that has enveloped the film in a scandal from his past.

Parker was facing a roomful of press for the first time since the details of a 1999 rape allegation against Parker surfaced. But Parker used the opportunity not to address questions over the case, but to deflect them.

Though Parker directed, wrote, produced and stars as Turner in the film, he urged “The Birth of a Nation” to be viewed outside of himself.

“I’ve addressed it and I’m sure in different forums I’ll address it more.

The reality is no one person makes a film,” said Parker, noting that hundreds worked on the film.

“I would encourage everyone to remember, personal life aside, I’m just one person.”

Parker bounded cheerfully into the press conference, exclaiming “Good morning!” and taking a seat at the end of a long table of cast members.

The much-watched event was orchestrated to take the spotlight off Parker’s past. A question wasn’t taken from the media until about 40 minutes in. It was nearly an hour in that Parker took a question directly about the incident.

When he did, Parker declined to address whether he should have apologized to the now deceased rape victim’s family. He also

didn’t address a question about whether he feels he’s been more scrutinized than others in Hollywood.

“This is a forum for the film,” said Parker. “This is a forum for the other people sitting on this stage.”

He did say he believes Fox Searchlight, the film’s distributor, is moving ahead with a planned promotional tour to churches and college campuses before the movie’s October release. “From what I understand we’re still moving forward with everything,” Parker said.

“The Birth of a Nation” first debuted in January at the Sundance Film Festival at the same time the “OscarsSoWhite” backlash was raging. Parker’s film immediately sparked widespread Oscar expectations and a bidding war among distributors. Fox Searchlight, an Academy Awards regular, landed it for a festival record $17.5 million, with the assurance of a nation-wide release.

But the newfound attention on Parker put a spotlight on a rape case from when he was a sophomore and wrestler at Penn State University. Parker was acquitted, though his college roommate, Jean Celestin (who helped create “The Birth of a Nation”) was initially found guilty of sexual assault. That conviction was later overturned when the accuser declined to testify for a retrial.

Parker and Celestin allegedly harassed the accuser on campus. The incident spawned a successful

civil lawsuit by the woman against the college. But the accuser, after several previous attempts, committed suicide in 2012. Her brother, identified only as Johnny, told The Hollywood Reporter that the rape case “was obviously that point” she changed.

As the story unfolded, Parker’s contrite comments on the case didn’t help the tailspin “The Birth of a Nation” fell into. Many think its awards chances are irreparably damaged. The American Film Institute recently canceled a scheduled screening of the film.

But the Toronto Film Festival stood by “The Birth of a Nation,” keeping it in its program.

“It’s a powerful film and it tells a hugely important story and the kind of story we don’t see often,” the festival’s artistic director Cameron Bailey said in an interview. “I think everyone has to make up their own mind about what connections they draw between the art and the artist. These are not simple questions at all.”

The film’s festival premiere Friday evening was carefully watched, with trade reporters measuring the length of applause afterward (a perhaps moot point considering much of the crowd was made up of the film’s backers).

The cast on Sunday voiced their support for the film, and its relevance to today’s racial discord.

“We are examining an enormous shame in American history, and carrying

Eternity SM-CP4211140923

- Knowing you have Eternal Life 1 John 5:11-14 God does not want you to worry or wonder about that!

an enormous amount of shame,” said co-star Colman Domingo. “I just think that until we continue to confront our history there will be no peace.

There’s no peace in the streets right now. There’s blood on the streets, and it’s on everyone’s hands because we are not facing our truth.”

The issue of Parker’s past is particularly acute for Gabrielle Union, who also stars in the film. She is herself an outspoken victim of rape who early penned an op-Ed in the Los Angeles Times about the allegations against Parker.

“Every time I talk about sexual violence, I want to puke, but my personal discomfort is nothing compared to what the people feel who are voiceless,” Union said. “I think we are all creating acknowledgment that we are real, that we exist, that we live among you, that we are your mothers or brothers or sisters or lovers.”

The cast collectively sought to turn the conversation back toward the film and race in America.

Portman’s Jackie Kennedy film to get Oscar season release TORONTO (AP) — The Jackie Kennedy biopic “Jackie,” starring Natalie Portman, has been acquired by Fox Searchlight, which plans to push the film directly into the Oscar season.

Searchlight announced the acquisition early Tuesday shortly after the Pablo Larrain-directed film played at the Toronto International Film Festival. Though the market has been quiet in Toronto, “Jackie” has been the most hotly pursued film since its Venice Film Festival debut last week. The film cuts between the events surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy and other moments in the first lady’s life.

Fox Searchlight will release the movie Dec. 9, and it’s widely expected to catapult Portman into the best-actress Oscar race.

Fox’s specialty division is an awards season regular that has ushered many films into the Academy Awards, including best-picture winners “12 Years a Slave” and “Birdman,” as well as Portman’s own “Black Swan,” which won her best actress.

Searchlight’s other fall

release, Nate Parker’s Nat Turner slave revolt drama “The Birth of a Nation,” had been seen as the studio’s horse in this year’s Oscar race. But that film’s awards hopes have been badly damaged by a rape accusation from Parker’s past. In Toronto, Parker deflected questions about the case in a press conference.

“Pablo Larrain’s ‘Jackie’ is a daring, one-of-a-kind cinematic portrayal of a beloved icon,” said Fox Searchlight Pictures Presidents Nancy Utley and Stephen Gilula.

Movies aren’t often acquired in Toronto and so quickly put into theaters.

Usually they open sometime the following year. But Fox Searchlight has managed it before; in 2008, it picked up Darren Aronofsky’s “The Wrestler,” and led it to Oscar nods for both Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei.

Ceiling fan cleaning plan Dear Heloise: To CLEAN A CEILING FAN a little more easily, take a pillowcase and slip it on each individual blade and dust away INTO the pillowcase. When most of the dust is off the entire fan, then you can go over the blades again with your favorite cleaner, and you won’t have all the fan dust flying all over the room. Take the pillowcase outdoors and turn it inside out to shake. Wash inside out to get the dust out better. I know it’s a two-step process, but I can’t think of a better way to clean the fan without turning the blades into a sea of mud.

I remember reading your mother’s column when I was a little girl. You are only two years older than I am. I also have several of your books, and refer to them often.

This hint about the fan and the pillowcase was the most helpful hint I think I’ve gotten and used from either you or your mom. -- Philomena B., Goldendale, Wash.

Thank you so much for being a longtime reader! This is a classic cleaning hint that I haven’t printed in a while, but I agree that it’s just as good as when originally printed! -- Heloise

Hints from Heloise SALAD DRESSING Dear Heloise: Many of the salad dressings do not have what I call a “portion control” hole in the top.

When you start to pour, it doesn’t come out, and then you squeeze and you have enough for three salads. I take the “portion control” cap out of the dressing bottles that come that way before I toss them, and I use them in other bottles that don’t have this feature. I wrote a letter to one of the companies that didn’t have this control hole, and I got the canned response that they do what their consumers like, based on focus groups. -- Lynne S., The Villages, Fla. PAINT TOUCH-UP Dear Heloise: Today I was doing some touch-up painting. There were several small areas where nails had previously been that needed painting. I used a new sponge-tip eye-shadow applicator that I had, and it worked perfectly. In the

skills in categorizing things.

Harlan defeats Creston/O-M JV football Harlan defeated the Creston/O-M junior varsity team 35-19 Monday evening, less than 72 hours after a particularly wild varsity game between the two schools.

It was a dynamic early evening of play, as Harlan jumped out to a 28-6 lead by the end of the first half.

Eli Loudon threw for 220 yards through the air on 12-of-22 passing.

Those passes were mostly divided between Garrett Dahl had three receptions for 73 yards, Bryce Fitzgerald tallied three catches for 53 yards and Michael Scherer caught two for 50 yards and a touchdown. Rylan Luther led the rushing attack with 89 yards on 20 carries.

The Panthers had chances to capitalize off of Cyclone mistakes as they recovered four fumbles and intercepted a pass.

Dustin Merritt and Walker Patterson racked up 15 and 10 tackles respectively.

“In tonight’s game we really got off to a slow start,” coadh Kevin Cooper said. “We struggled early, and were down 28-6 at halftime.

The kids competed hard in the second half, and were able to get some stops, but came up short on getting the win.”

The freshman game scheduled for Friday was not played.

NV boys cross country rises to challenge Wolverines place second in loaded field; Creston girls fifth, boys 11th

n

By RYAN KRONBERG

CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

HUXLEY — Expectations are quite high for the Nodaway Valley boys cross country team.

Monday at the Ballard, Huxley, Invitational, the Class 1A top-ranked Wolverines received a good idea of where it sits against high-caliber competition.

The Wolverine boys placed second in Class B. Nodaway Valley scored 63 points. Class 3A fourth-ranked Gilbert won with 42 points. Class 2A top-ranked Garner-Hayfield-Ventura was third with 67 points.

Nodaway Valley had five in the top 22. Shane Breheny was fourth, with Brycen Wallace in sixth. Tyler Breheny was 15th, Skyler Rawlings 16th and Brayten Funke was 22nd.

“We were satisfied with the results, but there is room for improvement,” said Nodaway Valley coach Darrell Burmeister.

The gap from Shane Breheny to Funke was 55 seconds.

Shane Breheny was fourth overall in 17 minutes, 30 seconds. Wallace finished three seconds behind. Tyler Breheny was 37 second behind and Rawlings 38 seconds behind.

“The difference tonight was the gap between our number one-two and our three-through-five runners,” Burmeister said.

The Wolverines have a good idea of where they sit in the state pecking order heading into the heart of the season.

“They established themselves as one of the best teams in the state in Class 1A, 2A and 3A.” Shane Brehemy was on point throughout the race, with Wallace closing the gap as the race progressed.

“Shane got off to his usual start,” Burmeister said. “Brycen Wallace increased his speed throughout the race to finish only three seconds behind Shane.”

Nodaway Valley cut the gap on the other top teams throughout the race.

“Our guys did a great job throughout the race and were most likely in fourth at the opening 800 and moved up steadily throughout the race,” Burmeister said.

Still, the Wolverines fell just a bit short of their overall goal for the night.

“Our expectation going into the night was to win Class B.” On the girls side, the Wolverines’ Reagan Weinheimer was second in 20:31. Humboldt freshman Bryce Gidel won in 19:37.

“Reagan Weinheimer got off to a great start and battled for a top spot early,” Burmeister said.

“It establishes her as one of the top runners in Class 1A in the state.”

Nodaway Valley was only one of two Class 1A schools at the 22-team meet.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to compete against larger schools as we are the smallest school in attendance,” Burmeister said.

The meet was a key early season test for Creston’s girls and boys.

Besides Gilbert, Nodaway Valley and Humboldt on the boys side, other ranked teams includ-

ed Class 3A No. 14 Humboldt.

On the girls side, ranked teams included Class 3A top-ranked Gilbert, Class 3A 10th-ranked Humboldt and 14th-ranked North Polk.

“There isn’t a weak team in the bunch,” said Creston coach Wallace Pat Schlapia.

The Panthers learned plenty from the competition at the 22-school, two class meet.

“What we tell the boys and girls is we’re not going to back down from anybody,” Schlapia said. “This opened our eyes. It shows us what we need to do, what’s in front of us. We saw S. Breheny state-ranked individuals in A and B on the girls side. We saw a lot of state ranked boys.”

Several of the schools there including Gilbert, North Pol, Garner-Hayfield-Venture and Humboldt are not on the Panthers schedule for the rest of the season.

Weinheimer The hope is, Schlapia said, that they see those teams again at season’s end.

“This is the only opportunity we get to run against them unless we get to Fort Dodge as individuals or as a team,” Schlapia said. “That’s where the opportunity exists for us to see where we need to get as one of our goals for the end of the season.”

Brielle Baker led the Panther girls, placing 10th in 21:31. It was her best time of the season by 10 seconds.

“Medaling at that meet is a big thing,” Schlapia said. “As challenging as this course was, being 10 seconds faster was good.”

Sophia Groumoutis was 35th, Lexie Little was 41st, Allivea Skarda was 42nd, Saige Rice was 45th, Brittany Linch was 47th and Rachel Shepherd was 49th.

The gap between Baker and Shepherd was four minutes and 12 seconds, a bit further than what Schlapia wanted to see.

“We want to improve that,” Schlapia said. “We don’t want to go up on that gap on the time between Brielle and the rest of the girls. We want to go lower.”

The Panthers placed fifth as a team with 160 points. Gilbert won with 35 points. Humboldt was second with 65 points. North Polk was third with 68 points.

Ben Irr led the Panther boys with a 19th place finish in 18:19. His time was seven seconds faster than a year ago at the same course. He just missed a medal as the top 17 brought home hardware.

“It shows you the competition he was running

“THIS OPENED THEIR EYES. It shows us what we need to do, what’s in front of us. We saw a lot of state-ranked individuals in A and B on the girls side. We saw a lot of state-ranked boys.”

against,” Schlapia said.

Isaac Wignall was 40th in 19:40. His time was 31 seconds faster than last season.

Irr and Wignall are providing guidance for a young Panther boys team.

“Those two seniors as leaders have been leading the boys,” Schlapia said.

Four of Creston’s runners on varsity were freshman.

They found out quickly what it is like to run against elite competition.

“This is feeding them to the fire,” Schlapia said. “This was an education for them, not only for those four young pups, but Schlapia for those girls too such as Brielle, Allivea, Siage and Brittany. It was a good education for them.”

The competition level was the highest the Panthers have seen this season.

“That was good for us to experience this,” Schlapia said. Baker “It goes a long ways for us.”

Nodaway Valley is back on the course Thursday at the Panorama meet at Lake Panora.

Creston is back on the course next Tuesday at its home invitational.

The Creston Invitational is the ‘Crowd the Course’ night.

Having an eight-day break will serve the Panthers well after having three meets in seven days.

“This gives us a chance in the schedule for a break as far as meets go,” Schlapia said. “It gives us a chance to recover, to work on some things we’ve seen.

Schlapia is stressing a good week heading into the home meet.

“Being on our home course, we want to make sure we bring our ‘A’ game,” Schlapia said. “Ballard was a good education for us.

Shields reaches milestone as Raiderettes roll

By RYAN KRONBERG

CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

TRURO — Mount Ayr senior Kelcie Shields wasn’t overly pleased with the way she performed in Monday’s non-conference triangular against Interstate 35 and Pleasantville.

Still she was able to reach a career milestone as the Raiderettes stayed perfect with a pair of wins.

Shields finished the night with 1,001 for her career. That is the most ever by a Mount Ayr volleyball player.

“She knew she was getting close to 1,000 kills,” said Mount Ayr coach Tessa Shields.

Shields struggled a bit at times.

Against Interstate 35, she had three kills, with four errors on 17 attacks.

Against Pleasantville she had seven kills with one error on 13 attacks.

Shields was subdued after the match.

“She really wasn’t wanting to celebrate it tonight,” Braby said. “She wanted to celebrate it after a good night. Hopefully she turns it on Thursday at Des Moines.”

There were plenty of bright spots as the Raiderettes won both matches handily.

Against Pleasantville, Tessa Shields dominated at the service line, going 18-of-19 with nine aces.

Against Interstate 35, Tessa Shields was 10-of-10 with one ace.

“She worked on placing them,” Braby said. “She served them in the right hole.”

Mount Ayr’s service receiving was crisp in both matches.

“Something we’ve really worked on is our passing in practice,” Braby said. “We have a saying our passes need to be perfect. Against Pleasantville, we wanted to go 100 percent on serve receive.”

Against Interstate 35, Sadie Frost posted five kills and three blocks, while Kelcie Shields had nine blocks. Keirston Klommhaus was 17-for-17 serving with two aces.

Blair Glendenning had eight digs.

Against Pleasantville, Frost had four kills. Klommhaus had four digs and was 11-of-12 serving.

UP NEXT — Mount Ayr is back on the court in a quad at Des Moines Christian. The Raiderettes will face the Lions, Earlham and Van Meter.

A year ago at the same tournament, the Raiderettes struggled, leaving them hungry going into Thursdsay’s matches.

“We’re looking forward to the competition,” Braby said. “Last year when we went up there, we struggled. They want revenge.”

The Raiderettes continue to grow.

“They’re playing with a lot of confidence,” Braby said. “They’re pretty determined. I tell them that it will happen that they will get beat. The girls don’t have that in their mind.

Anytime, they get down, they’re determined to fight harder and get up on top.”

Their drive is showing in practice.

“At practice Friday, they wanted to stay longer,” Braby said. “They’re wanting to push themselves to get better.”

The Spartans received better play at the net on Friday than in the next day.

“I think we’re pretty even across the front row,” Cleaver said.

Added Cleaver: “Our blocking was pretty good too. Brooke (Decker) had a pretty good weekend blocking.”

Saturday in Marshalltown, the Spartans ran into Lincoln Land Community College, who is rated fourth in NJCAA division one.

SWCC fell 3-0 and by set scores of 25-12, 25-12 and 25-20.

A few hours later, the Spartans incurred a third loss of the weekend by falling in three straight sets to Indian Hills Community College, which was ranked 13th in NJCAA division one. The scores were 25-8, 25-8 and 25-12.

“Those are really really good teams,” Cleaver said.

“I think it was nice to play them because it was kind of like an idea of like, these are the top teams so if we want to be a top team these are the kinds of things we need to do. It was kind of nice for them to see that.”

Cleaver was anxious to see how her team stacks up with ICCAC matches coming up.

UP NEXT — Southwestern (1-12) will trek to Boone for a Wednesday Sept. 4 match with Des Moines Area Community College.

DES MOINES – Nine Creston FFA members exhibited top-quality livestock and animals at the Iowa State Fair and two members served the fair as Grandstand ushers.

For many, the Iowa State Fair is an annual tradition, maybe a day trip or, for the real fair enthusiast, the whole 10 days. For FFA members, the state fair is much more and opportunities are life-changing.

Selecting, raising and exhibiting livestock is a tradition that runs deep in rural communities, and that holds true for many of Creston FFA’s members as they raise and show livestock as their FFA supervised agriculture experience (SAE). Macy Evans, Zack Peppmeier and Cali Foglesong all exhibited hogs at the 2016 Iowa State Fair. Each member has taken responsibility in raising his or her pigs from the spring up until the targeted exhibition date.

Peppmeier and Foglesong both own sows and raise some or all of the pigs they exhibit.

“Showing at the Iowa State Fair was a way to reconnect with old FFA friends and meet so many new people that have the same passion as I do exhibiting pigs. It was great being part of a supportive group that worked together to make our time successful,” said Evans of her first experience exhibiting pigs at the state fair.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to continue my passion for showing hogs even after graduating high school,” said Peppmeier, an out-ofschool FFA member on why he continues to show FFA hogs at the fair. “It provides me with connection to people with similar love for the hog industry.

Just this year, I met so many people hoping to enter the industry as well as being able to reconnect with people I met in previous years of showing.

The experience also allows graduates to pass on our experiences and learned skills to benefit beginning FFA members.”

Results from the 2016 Iowa State Fair swine shows for Creston FFA members are: Evans – sixth purple commercial gilt and purple for market barrow; Foglesong – Champion Hampshire market gilt, reserve champion all other breed market gilt, third purple Landrace gilt, eighth purple Yorkshire and blue for her commercial gilt; Peppmeier – purples for his market gilt and market barrow, sixth and seventh blues for derby barrows and blue for his commercial gilt.

Dalten Bierle received top honors with his purebred Suffolk breeding ewe at the fair, earning the best of show Suffolk ewe and was highlighted in the Iowa FFA Parade of Champions. Bierle has been involved in raising sheep all of his life; raising sheep is his passion where he continually looks to improve genetics and raise superior lambs. Results from the Iowa State Fair

sheep show for Bierle are: market lambs – red ribbon placing; breeding ewes – champion and reserve champion Suffolk ewes, best of show Suffolk ewe and blue for his commercial breeding ewe.

Mattie Wheeler, Creston FFA president, began her market goat enterprise as a freshman. Through the years, she has enhanced her abilities in selecting breeding stock to build her own herd of Borer goats.

Mattie’s experience in taking responsibility of building her SAE through FFA is an excellent example of how SAE projects teach young people how to make decisions, take responsibility and set and achieve goals. Results from the state fair meat goat show for Wheeler are: fifth place blue market wether; breeding goats – first and second place aged doe and sixth place spring doe.

Riding a horse is one thing but to train a horse to compete at the Iowa State Fair is another feat.

Creston FFA members Jessica Beatty, Tiffany Beatty and Lane Miller exhibited horses at the fair in many disciplines.

These members have ridden horses from a very young age and have taken it upon themselves to advance in skill to become outstanding equestrians.

The Iowa State Fair FFA horse show is a large show and a demonstration of horsemanship skill. Results from the Iowa State Fair horse show for Creston FFA members are: Jessica Beatty – placed fifth out of 44 halter mares and received blues in western pleasure, bareback pleasure and speed events; Tiffany Beatty – placed seventh out of 36 halter geldings and received blues in western pleasure, bareback pleasure and speed events; Miller – top 10 in hunt seat equitation, sixth junior western pleasure and earned a blue in hunter under saddle.

Tyler Waddingham, one of Creston FFA’s out-ofschool members, exhibited rabbits at the state fair.

Similar to other members, Tyler began his rabbitry as part of his SAE program while in high school. Waddingham has exhibited a variety of rabbit breeds and has been successful in raising rabbits from breeding stock as well. Results from the Iowa State Fair rabbit show for Waddingham are: champion all other breeds and blue for best of four.

Juniors Paige Parsons and Kayla Luther served as FFA Grandstand ushers at the Iowa State Fair. Members serving as Grandstand ushers spend the entire 10 days of the fair assisting where needed during the day and, at night, they are responsible for seating people and assisting in maintaining order at all of the Grandstand events.

This adventure proved to be a learning experience they value.

“Being an FFA Grandstand usher was an amazing experience,” Parsons said.

“This was the first time that I have done something without the chapter; it was one of the best decisions I have made. I made many lifelong friends, took on new responsibilities and delegated tasks, all in which have made me a stronger leader. I would recommend to other FFA members to take the opportunity to be a Grandstand usher.”

I would like to thank my family and friends, for helping me celebrate my 90th birthday.

Thank you for the phone calls, visits, gifts, pretty cards, along with the nice comments and memories.

It made my day very special.
