SOUTHWESTERN COMMUNITY COLLEGE

SWCC preliminary fall enrollment released

By ALEX FELKER

CNA staff reporter afelker@crestonnews.com

Southwestern Community College (SWCC) released its preliminary fall enrollment figures at Tuesday’s regular board of directors meeting.

The preliminary figures do not account for students who will be taking the college’s fall 12-week, and second term 8-week classes.

“Well, the good news is, we’ve officially, academically started the 2017-18 year,” said SWCC Dean of Student Services Beth Kulow. “And we have 1,587

students who are actively attending class.”

T h i s figure includes all s t u d e n t s Kulow who were enrolled in at least one 16week class. These 1,587 students were enrolled in 15,145 credit hours.

Head-count enrollment was down 4.5 percent from last year. Total credit hours were down 3.1 percent.

The average credit hour decrease from across the state was 4.13 percent.

The average head-count decrease from across the state was about .5 percent.

“We are trending,” said Kulow, “as you may recall, we had a population of more part-time students than full-time students since about the year that I’ve started here. And this year we are trending to move that gap just slightly. It looks like we will increase our number of full-time students as a percentage of that student body.”

Program report SWCC Vice President of Instruction Bill Taylor delivered to the board the

college’s annual program report.

Included in the program report is information regarding the college’s programs, including enrollment, for the 2016-17 academic year.

Also included is information regarding the college’s endeavors with high school career academies and distance education programs and the 2016-17 academic year, as well as a General Education Assessment report, which provides a snapshot of the college’s assessment processes and accomplishments.

Union County voters overwhelmingly extended Southwestern Community College’s 6-cent levy during Tuesday’s school elections.

The public measure received 374 yes votes to 89 no votes, easily passing. The measure needed just a simple majority to be approved.

All 15 Iowa community colleges have 6-cent levies in place. Funds gathered from the 6-cent levy are used by SWCC to purchase instructional classroom equipment.

“I’m ecstatic about it. It’s extremely vital for us to continue to offer high quality career and technical programs, to allow them to utilize the tools and equipment the graduates will utilize when they get on the job,” said Bill Taylor, vice president of instruction. “To pass with a margin like that shows the public has confidence we Taylor will continue to offer these high quality programs.”

Taylor said the type of equipment purchased with the funds created by the levy include classroom technology, such as computers, and equipment for the career and technical programs.

“TO PASS with a margin like that shows the public has confidence we will continue to offer these high quality programs.”

“It really helps every class, every student in this institution. And not only here in Creston, but also at the centers in Red Oak and Osceola, helps equip those classrooms with the latest technology that’s out there,” Taylor said. “I just want to thank the public for showing confidence in Southwestern and giving us a positive vote on this.”

Creston Community School District In Creston Community School District’s Board of Directors election, both Sharon Snodgrass and Galen Zumbach were re-elected to their posts on the board. Snodgrass Zumbach received 332 votes and Snodgrass received 331 votes.

candidates running for three openings on CCSD’s Board of Directors, one vacancy was left to be filled by writein votes.

According to the Union County Auditor’s Office, write-in votes are expected to be tabulated by Thursday. More information will be published in the Creston News Advertiser when results become available.

Voter turnout A total of 88 absentee ballots were returned for Tuesday’s school elections, while 392 Union County residents

voted at polling locations.

Only 5.92 percent of Union County’s 8,106 registered voters exercised their right to vote in Tuesday’s election.

According to the Union County Auditor’s Office website, that number is better than the 2014 school special election, when only 1.56 percent of the Creston’s 6,102 registered voters voted.

The 2013 school election saw 10.31 percent of Union County’s 7,955 registered voters cast a ballot.

Voter turnout numbers were not available on the Union County Auditor’s Office website for years after 2014.

Carbon monoxide and nursing home deaths reported after Irma to help Florida Keys residents secure shelter through rental assistance, hotels or pre-manufactured housing.

Trump plans to visit Florida on Thursday.

Bossert told Fox News that during his visit, Trump “is going to make sure the troops that he’s put in place are doing their job and then to thank those folks that have been working around the clock.”

Irma’s economic toll on Florida already includes nearly $250 million in preparation and recovery expenses by 31 state agencies. And agriculture officials warily eyed storm damage to citrus crops.

The number of people without electricity in the steamy late-summer heat dropped to 9.5 million — just under half of Florida’s population. Utility officials warned it could take 10 days or more for power to be fully restored. About 110,000 people remained in shelters across the state.

While nearly all of Florida was engulfed by the massive storm, the Keys — home to about 70,000 people — appeared to be the hardest hit.

Drinking water and power were cut off, all three of the islands’ hospitals were closed, and gasoline was extremely limited.

Search-and-rescue teams made their way into the more distant reaches of the Keys, and an aircraft carrier was positioned off Key West to help.

Officials said it was not known how many people ignored evacuation orders and stayed behind in the Keys.

Crews also worked to repair two washed-out, 300-foot (90-meter) sections of U.S. 1, the sole highway that runs through the Keys, and check the safety of the 42 bridges linking the islands.

The Lower Keys were still off-limits, with a roadblock in place where the highway was washed out.

On the mainland, one of the evacuees taken from an apartment building that lacked power near Miami was a 97-year-old woman who is immobile and has heart problems.

Five firefighters went up the dark emergency stairwell in the Coral Gables building, strapped Cuban-born Ofelia Carrillo to a special evacuation chair and carried her down. Her daughter Madeleine Alvarez said they ultimately heeded firefighters’ isntructions, despite doctors warning of her mother’s fragile state.

Some highlights of the report: • Enrollment in the college’s 14 high school career academies is 157 for the 2017 academic year.

• 782 SWCC students are enrolled in fall 2017 online classes.

• 63 students were enrolled in the college’s automotive repair technology program in the 2015-16 academic year.

• 40 students were enrolled in the college’s carpentry and building trades program in the 2017 academic year.

• 21 students were enrolled in the college’s information technology systems networking program for the 2017 academic year.

Lastly, Taylor presented to the board the college’s General Education Assess-

ment Report.

“Our students,” said Taylor, “we feel, should have the skills in knowledge in those nine general education areas. And that’s basically what the report does for you.”

According to the report, 96 percent of the college’s CTE (Career and Technical Education) graduates reported that SWCC prepared them for their career field.

And 93 percent of graduates available for employment were employed.

ible. Also discussed in particular was the college’s cyber security protection. The college has been insured against cyber attack for four years.

• Two minor updates were approved by the board for the college’s Quality Faculty Plan. The Quality Faculty Plan is a living document the college uses in hiring and developing new faculty members.

In other SWCC news: • The college approved administrative action to move forward with a sewer line easement located just west of the college near Highway 34. A homeowner desired to connect to the sewer line located at the east entrance of the college, and was requesting an easement to be allowed to do so.

Iowa official: ‘Less optimistic’ about future of ACA plan DES MOINES (AP) — A top Iowa regulator on Tuesday expressed reservation about the future of a proposal that would allow the state to redirect Affordable Care Act money to lower some people’s health insurance costs, noting he had expected the federal government to issue a decision by now on the ambitious plan.

Iowa Insurance Commissioner Doug Ommen told lawmakers during a meeting at the state Capitol that he’s still hopeful the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will approve the so-called stopgap measure for the state’s individual insurance market. But he also indicated he had expected a decision amid a looming deadline on open enrollment for ACA coverage.

“We wanted to know for today whether or not we were going to obtain approval. I guess I’m less optimistic having not heard,” he said.

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services declined to comment, directing inquiries about the proposal to an agency website that provides status updates.

Under the ACA, an individual receives federal government subsidies to purchase health insurance that’s based on a certain percentage of one’s income.

Under the stopgap proposal, Iowa would use some of those subsidies to offer a single, standard insurance plan that provides premium credits based on certain age and income factors.

More people would be eligible for credits, with the goal of enticing younger and healthier residents who currently make too much money to qualify for federal subsidies to buy coverage.

Critics argue that will shift costs to low-income and older participants, since some people whose costs are currently capped will see an increase in what they must pay.

The board authorized the administration to enter into the easement, and discussed the possibility of further sewer line renovations in the area to open up future development possibilities.

• The board received an update of its current asset protection services by Phillip Tyler of Tyler Insurance Services, Inc. The college moved from a $500 to $2,500 property damage deduct-

Ommen has argued some concerns about costs are “valid” but the threat of thousands leaving the market if nothing is done is also real. He has pointed out that the state adjusted its proposal on premium credit levels to better help individuals who may have new out-ofpocket expenses.

The plan, first submitted to the federal government in June and finalized last month, would be in effect for 2018. It also develops a program to help carriers with high-cost patients.

About 72,000 people are enrolled in Iowa’s individual health insurance market.

Ommen used an actuarial study to estimate up to 22,000 will drop coverage soon as policy rates keep increasing.

Several insurance carriers have left Iowa’s market, making Minnesota-based Medica the only company to offer coverage across Iowa on the ACA exchange next year. The carrier has proposed increasing premium rates up to 56.7 percent amid uncertainty from the federal government about financing.

Iowa-based Wellmark Blue Cross & Blue Shield has indicated it would consider selling insurance in Iowa next year if the government approves the plan.

Just a handful of states have sought to change some funding rules for their individual ACA markets through the same waiver process Iowa is using, but data from the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation shows Iowa’s plan is among the most expansive. Its approval could signal how receptive President Donald Trump’s administration will be to other state proposals.

If the federal government does give the green light, Iowa will have a short window to get its system up and running. Open enrollment for ACA health insurance coverage begins Nov. 1.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — Florida residents struggling to put their lives back together in Hurricane Irma’s wake fell victim to new hazards, including oppressive heat, brush-clearing accidents, house fires and deadly fumes from generators.

Five residents of a Hollywood nursing home that lost power in the storm died, authorities said Wednesday.

They gave no immediate details on the cause. Police and fire crews began evacuating Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills after the deaths there.

In the Miami area, a Coral Gables apartment building was evacuated after authorities determined a lack of power made it unsafe for elderly tenants, while officers arrived at the huge Century Village retirement community in Pembroke Pines to help people on upper floors without access to working elevators.

More than half the community of 15,000 residents lacked power.

Also, at least five people died and more than a dozen were treated for breathing carbon monoxide fumes from generators in the Orlando, Miami and Daytona Beach areas.

Aside from the nursing home deaths, at least 13 people in Florida were killed in Irma-related circumstances, in some cases during the cleanup, well after the storm.

A Tampa man died after the chainsaw he was using to remove branches kicked back and cut his carotid artery.

Elsewhere, Irma was blamed for four deaths in South Carolina and two in Georgia. At least 37 people were killed in the Caribbean.

In the battered Florida Keys, meanwhile, county officials pushed back against a preliminary estimate from the Federal Emergency Management Agency that 25 percent of all homes in the Keys were destroyed and nearly all the rest were heavily damaged.

“Things look real damaged from the air, but when you clear the trees and all the debris, it’s not much damage to the houses,” said Monroe County Commissioner Heather Carruthers.

The Keys felt Irmay’s full fury when the hurricane roared in on Sunday with 130 mph (209 kph) winds.

President Donald Trump’s homeland security adviser, Tom Bossert, said the federal government was working

Creston Area Food Pantry to give tours after ribbon cutting The Creston Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribbon cutting 10 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 14, at Creston Area Food Pantry. Tours of the pantry will be given by pantry volunteer workers.

The pantry, formerly located at UCC Congregational Church, moved to its new location Aug. 7 in the lower level of 417 Wyoming Ave., with food distribution.

Each month, the statistics of men, women and children served, as well as pounds of food distributed, demonstrate the need in the Creston area to feed the hungry.

In June, the pantry provided 8,206 pounds of food to 264 households of 715 men, women and children. For five weeks in July, the pantry provided 10,087 pounds of food to 368 households comprised of 961 individuals. And in August, with four distributions, 13,929 pounds of food were provided to 313 households with 816 individuals.

In partnership with the Food Bank of Iowa, this pantry is able to assist those with food insecurity in the Creston area.

Also at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 14, the public is invited to attend the first organizational meeting at the Creston Area Food Pantry to establish the board of directors and to begin the process for applying for its own nonprofit status with the state of Iowa. Anyone interested in learning more about the pantry operation or volunteer services is encouraged to attend this meeting.

For more information, contact Kathy Goodrich, program coordinator, at 641-202-4513 during the day, 641-202-6726 at night, Mark O’Riley at 641-344-1159 or Mary O’Riley at 641-3440701.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Southwest Iowa Provider Awareness

By Jenny Moon

Child Care Resource and Referral of Southwest Iowa in Creston

Southwest Iowa Provider Awareness is hosting a fall vendor and craft show from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 7 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, 600 W. Michigan St., in Lenox. Catholic Youth Organization, grades 7-12, will be serving food and lunch. There are more than 30 vendors and crafters to meet all your shopping needs.

Provider Awareness started in 2008, originally through MATURA Child Care Resource and Referral. They had their biggest event in 2009 at the Creston Balloons Days parade with more than 100 participants with providers and their child care families in collaboration with SWCC TriUMPH, CACFP, CCR&R and GV IAEYC. This was the first year books were handed out. We have expanded our participation with other community activities and in other counties. MATURA CCR&R closed July 1, 2011, and the Provider Awareness group has kept going strong. The Southwest Iowa Provider Awareness group officially became nonprofit in 2014.

The Provider Awareness group has a goal of raising community awareness in quality child care.

We are not just babysitters, we are professionals in the field of child care.

The group participates in com-

munity activities in the southwest counties. We have some active child care providers to help with ideas for their counties. We like to have provider feedback and, of course, volunteers to help with these events. If we do not have participants in your county, we do not do any events. This group is run by providers for the providers.

The group has regular monthly meetings.

We are always in need of volunteers to help make this group a success. If you are a provider in a home, center or preschool, then we need you.

Much of our budget is from fundraisers. We do these to help build up funds to make these activities possible. We ask local businesses for donations in the counties that we are utilizing funds. We always accept donations. There are many other ways we can make our budget and we take all providers ideas into consideration. Our largest event has been the Balloon Days parade where we hand out more than 800 books. Other activities include Bright Eyes, family fun nights, Lenox Rodeo parade with 350 books. Our budget has been used for books, family fun night activities with meals for families, training room rent for providers and other child care provider supports that is agreed upon by the group.

In July, the state of Iowa had more than 237,000 children under the age of 5 and more than

164,000 from ages 6 through 9.

Families with all parents working and children under age 6 is 75 percent. That is a large number in which these children go to child care. Union County has more than 1,600 children from ages 0-9, with 80 percent of families with parents working and children under the age of 6. Taylor County has more than 800 children ages 0-9, with 73 percent of families with parents working and children under the age of 6.

Child care is a very important career and many providers struggle with families and regulations.

These statistics can be found on iowaccrr.org under the data and publications tab. You can search each individual county along with other state child care data. To become a registered home provider, there are guidelines that must be followed and they are checked yearly from DHS for compliance

measures. These providers can also become QRS rated, from a one to a five star, based on the quality of care in their program.

This program is voluntary right now, but is very useful for parents looking for care. If a child care provider is QRS rated, you know that provider is working over and beyond the basic child care regulations. This is not easy to do but many providers are rated. Union County has more than 19 rated at this time.

A child care provider is regulated on how many children are allowed in care at any one time.

An unregistered home provider is only allowed five children at any one time, registered providers based on what category they are can have eight to 16, but an assistant or another provider is required whenever there are more than eight children total.

A provider who provides day-

care is not going to get rich from doing so, and no one who opens their arms and home to children and their families do so because it is a lucrative business. Most of the time, your daycare provider is open while you are on your way to work and they are still working when you are done and pick up your child. Their hours are long, but they do it because they love those kids. Most in-home providers make less hourly per child than the cost of a large drink at a coffee shop. Yes, multiplied by several, it gets better, but then factor in expenses, taxes and all the things we pay out of pocket for, and it ends up being pretty minimal.

Come show the Southwest Iowa Provider Awareness support along with the Catholic Youth Organization, and join us for some shopping and food at the vendor and craft show Oct. 7 in Lenox.

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

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian reported last week they’re expecting another baby in seven months, meaning that it’s time for Kanye to whip out his trusty compass again and come up with a baby name. They named their first baby North.

Leave it to the Kardashians to name a girl after a pole.

The Oklahoma Sooners beat the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus Saturday in a match-up of premier football powers. College was the time of my life. I always thank the University of Oklahoma for giving me my direction in life, and I thank the Betty Ford Center for turning that direction around.

Cosmopolitan’s slutty articles came under radio commercial attack from a Hearst family that owns the magazine on talk radio.

It’s mortifying what’s sold in grocery stores today. Thank goodness self-service checkout registers take the embarrassment out of buying lube, condoms and the Enquirer.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel offered to mediate the dispute between North Korea and the U.S. to avoid war. We have reached the point where the country that started the last two world wars is offering to be peacemaker. Dennis Rodman is now the second-craziest way to settle this thing.

The Weather Channel reported

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Sunday that Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma are about to be followed by a Category Four storm they named Hurricane Jose.

That was a nice try. They named it Jose hoping that President Trump can build a wall in time to keep it out of the United States.

Hurricane Irma’s power didn’t live up to its cable news buildup Sunday. However TV viewers were glued to their TVs. The hype for Irma worked so well for ratings that CNN is going to start displaying a big orange blob over a U.S. map every ten minutes to show which way Donald is heading.

Hurricane Irma rainstorms flooded Tampa, which is the primary entry port for drug shipments smuggled into the United States. When the hurricane suddenly swerved left up Florida’s west coast toward Tampa Sunday, everybody in Hollywood had the same thought. All that coke, just gone.

Miami Beach authorities miraculously reported no deaths after the resort was lashed by Irma Sunday. It was so dramatic. The TV news showed a white guy, a black guy and a Cuban running down Collins Avenue in the middle of the hurricane, and they were car-

rying a flat screen TV together.

Walt Disney Company announced Monday that Disneyworld in Orlando will be open to the public days after Hurricane Irma blasted the Florida peninsula. The storm actually did some good to the theme park. As Irma skirted Disneyworld, it knocked Bill Cosby’s statue off of Sleeping Beauty.

North Korea’s Kim Jung Un replied to the UN Security Council’s threat of new sanctions if he doesn’t give up his nukes Monday by threatening to destroy the U.S. At least he acknowledged the message from the UN. Did you ever get a restraining order and think, finally we are communicating.

The House of Representatives is considering reducing entitlements to help reduce spending in the budget bill. They want closer scrutiny for food stamp recipients.

Getting food stamps for sitting around and doing nothing is like getting paid two hundred thousand dollars a year to be in Congress.

Miss America contestants were steered with leading questions by the judges to bash President Trump on climate change, Charlottesville and Russian meddling.

Each girl had a tough choice.

They could please the judges, bash Trump and win Miss America, or they could stand up to the judges, praise Trump, and then someday collect millions suing a Fox News colleague for sexual harassment.

Adair County EMS gives AED’s to Adair County

officer are the first on the scene,” Endres said during training for local officers.

The total cost of the project was $15,474. The project was completely covered by the grants from Schildberg’s with $15,000 and Adair County Health’s with $474.

Adair County Health System staff handed out the AED’s and presented basic training to the staff at the organizations involved.

AED’s were given to the Adair County Sheriff’s Of-

fice, Greenfield Police, Fontanelle Police, Adair Police, Orient Express, Bridgewater Cafe, Adair County Conservation and the Adair County Extension Office.

The AED’s that were purchased are compatible with the equipment at Adair County Memorial Hospital, meaning the patient will be able to be hooked up to the monitor at the hospital without changing the adhesive pads.

Adams County Historic Preservation Commission to hold preservation workshop CORNING – Adams County Historic Preservation Commission will sponsor a historic preservation workshop from 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept.

19, at the Corning Public Library, 603 Ninth St., in Corning.

The speaker will be Architectural Historian and Iowa Certified Local Government (CLG) Coordinator Paula Mohr, PhD. Mohr will cover “Preservation 101, How to Use the CLG program to Your Community’s Advantage” and lead a group exercise to develop goals and milestones for a historic preservation commission followed by a question and answer session.

Reserve your place by calling or emailing Saun-

dra Clem Leininger at 641-322-4717 or icaria@ frontiernet.net.

Adams County and the preservation commission were designated a certified local government by the National Park Service (NPS) in December 1989.

Preservation through partnership is the goal of the CLG program. Local, state and federal governments work together in the federal preservation program to help communities save the irreplaceable historic character of places. Through the certification process, communities make a local commitment to historic preservation.

This commitment is key to America’s ability to preserve, protect and increase awareness of our T:5”

unique cultural heritage found in the built environment across the country.

Jointly administered by the NPS and the State Historic Preservation Offices, each local community works through a certification process to become recognized as a CLG. Once certified, CLG’s become an active partner in the Federal Historic Preservation Program. Each community gains access to benefits of the program and agrees to follow required federal and state requirements. Community certification opens doors to funding, technical assistance and other preservation successes.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: You had a recipe for a NO-MIX CHERRY-PINEAPPLE NUT CAKE that my husband was wild about. I haven’t made it in a while, so I’m not sure what all the ingredients are or the amount of butter to use. Please reprint this wonderful recipe so I can make it for my wonderful guy. – Karen P., Kenner, La. Karen, yes indeed! This always has been one of my favorites, too!

NO-MIX CHERRY-PINEAPPLE NUT CAKE 1 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple in heavy syrup 1 21-ounce can of cherry pie filling 1 package of yellow cake mix (2-layer size) 1 3-ounce can/package of pecans (1 cup), chopped 1/2 stick of butter or margarine Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Spread the pineapple with its syrup evenly in the pan. Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the pineapple. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the mixture, then the chopped nuts over all. Slice the chilled butter or margarine into thin slices, then place

evenly over the other ingredients. Bake for 50 minutes, or until golden. Serve warm.

Makes 12 servings.

If you like this recipe, you’ll love my cake recipe pamphlet with many other mouthwatering delights.

Just go to www. Heloise. com to order, or send a long, stamped (70 cents), self-addressed envelope, along with $3, to: Heloise/Cakes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Remember to always place your cake pan in the center of the rack, and in the middle of the oven, for an evenly baked cake. – Heloise DEEP-FRYER DILEMMA Dear Heloise: Can you please tell me what is the best kind of oil to use for a deep fryer? – Nancy G., Omaha, Neb. Nancy, first you need to fry foods at a very high temperature in order to keep oil from saturating the food and making it greasy. For the best results, experts in the culinary field suggest peanut oil. Peanut oil has a high smoke point, which means you should deep-fry at about 350-375 degrees.

The exception to this is, of course, if someone has an allergy to nuts of any kind.

Other recommended oils are coconut oil, avocado oil and palm oil. Since so many vegetable oils are ultraprocessed foods, it’s best to avoid them for deep frying. These include corn oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, etc. – Heloise FROZEN MEALS Dear Heloise: To stay on my diet AND budget, I make a pot of stew, spaghetti or beans. I spoon a measured amount for one serving (3/4 cup suits me) into a fold-over-top sandwich bag, held open in a glass, and I close it with a bread tie.

Then I scatter the bags around in the freezer to keep them from clumping.

As soon as they are frozen, I put them together in a bag or bowl and label it. Lowcost, nutritious, convenient meals! – S.W., Ventura, Calif.

COFFEE SAVER Dear Heloise: When opening a new can of coffee, I use a fork to puncture the foil. The coffee won’t splatter out onto the counter. – Pat P., Youngstown, Ohio This releases the pressure of the vacuum seal. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Fighting the morning clock? 9 no-fail ways to get out the door on time (BPT) – As the sun shines through the curtains, you hit the snooze button again. Suddenly you bolt up, realizing you’re running late. You skip breakfast, grab your bag and rush out the door. Stress levels skyrocket and your day has barely begun.

The race against the clock at the start of the day is a common problem. Mornings shouldn’t be difficult and certainly not something you dread. To get out the door on time and with a grin on your face, consider these nine no-fail tips.

Bedtimes aren’t just for kids: A great morning starts the night before. A regular bedtime is as important for adults as it is for children.

Go to bed with the goal of getting seven to nine hours of sleep, as is recommended for adults by the National Sleep Foundation.

Use the night prior to your advantage: Mornings flow smoothly when you do a lot of prep work the evening before. That means select outfits, pack bags and backpacks, and organize any paperwork before you hit the hay.

Stock the fridge for health and convenience: It’s always smart to have delicious and nutritious ingredients in your fridge like fresh fruits, veggies and eggs. Eggs are especially versatile and packed with nutrition. Look for eggs with added nutritional benefits like Eggland’s Best eggs. In a hurry?

Try Eggland’s Best HardCooked Peeled Eggs for a ready-to-eat lunch or snack.

Meal prep on Sunday: Another fridge-friendly tip is to do Sunday prep for the week. For example, chop up veggie spears or fruits and place in individual containers for easy grab-and-go snack options to pair with your hard-cooked eggs.

Learn to love the alarm: Rather than just setting one alarm for waking up, try setting several to keep your morning routine on track. For example, set one for when it’s time for breakfast and another as a five-minute warning for departure.

Eliminate distractions: The fewer distractions you have, the better your chances of meeting the morning clock. That means resist the urge to check your smartphone or have a rule that the TV remains off until all morning tasks are complete.

Check it and forget it: It

can be highly effective to make a specific list with morning to-do’s for you and your family members.

As each task is complete, you get the satisfaction of marking it off your list, plus it keeps the morning moving quickly.

Adjust your attitude: A positive attitude doesn’t only start your day out on the right foot, it can also help you stay focused so when you’re racing against the clock, you win every time (and with a smile on your face).

Don’t forgo breakfast: The most important meal of the day doesn’t have to take a lot of time. Makeahead breakfasts and easy recipes are your key to a delicious morning without running late.

These delicious Make Ahead Breakfast Bowls will fuel your family throughout the day with superior nutrition. By choosing Eggland’s Best eggs, you get six times more vitamin D, 25 percent less saturated fat, more than double the omega-3s and vitamin B12, and 10 times more vitamin E than ordinary eggs.

Make Ahead Breakfast Bowls INGREDIENTS 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, chopped into 1-inch cubes 1 green pepper, seeded then chopped into 1-inch chunks 1 onion, chopped 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon seasoned salt salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste 12 Eggland’s Best Eggs (large) 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 3 green onions, chopped toppings: tortilla chips, salsa, avocado 6 individual-sized containers with lids PREPARATION 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 2. On a large baking sheet, place potatoes, peppers and onions in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoned salt and ground black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

3. Roast for about 30-40 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and tender, stirring and rotating pan halfway through cooking.

4. Meanwhile, crack Eggland’s Best eggs into a large bowl, then season

with salt and pepper and whisk until smooth.

5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then spray with nonstick spray and add eggs.

6. Scramble until the

eggs are just barely cooked through and still slightly glossy, then scoop onto a plate and set aside.

7. Divide the potatoes and scrambled eggs evenly between the containers,

then set aside to cool.

8. Once cool, sprinkle with cheese and green onions, then cover and refrigerate. Freeze any portions that aren’t eaten within three days.

9. To reheat from frozen: microwave for 1 1/2 minutes, then stir and continue microwaving until food is reheated, stirring between intervals. Top with optional toppings, then serve.

BRIEFS Spartan men thrive at Graceland

By KALEB CARTER CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

LAMONI — Nodaway Valley’s own, Shane Breheny led the Southwestern Community College boys cross country team to a neartop finish at Saturday’s Graceland Invite.

The Spartans finished second as a team to NAIA stronghold Park University.

Breheny finished in seventh-place in 21:45, just before teammate Chanse Webster, in 21:46.80.

“It’s good seeing Shane continue to be our leader and Chance coming backk strong and being a team leader for us for sure,” firstyear SWCC head coach Trey Bruton said. “Jalen (Two Leggins)… He’s slowly getting back into it.”

Atlantic native Phoenix Shadden took 13th in 22:11.80, a time Bruton knows he can improve upon, especially as he fought issues with blisters on his feet.

The Spartans had four more runners take the 10-13 spots, as the Spartans’ pack-running lent them a good finish to the race.

“It’s really good to put a pack like that together in bigger meets. That’s really going to help us,” Bruton said.

Creston native Travis Purdy finished 30th.

On the women’s side, Heather Jesse (seventh in 17:19.30) and Christina Stopak (ninth in 17:50.80) led the Spartans. SWCC finished last among the four teams.

“The heat and humidity also added to the obstacles facing all the runners during the races. Despite the conditions, everyone from Southwest Valley ran extremely hard and preformed well,” Southwest Valley cross country coach Josh Sussman said. “Mazzy Hummel and Trent Newton paced the girls and boy’s teams with times of 25:38 and 23:16.

n Creston volleyball falls

off against 5th-ranked St. Albert

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

What started in the Creston volleyball team’s favor quickly turned into a run-ofthe-mill three-set victory for St. Albert in Creston Tuesday.

Creston jumped ahead 5-1 to start the night with a fourpoint run before a service error slowed the Panthers.

That stretch was Creston’s longest (four points) of the night, as the Panthers found themselves dwelling too much on errors.

“I think we really stepped our game up a lot. That first set really, I think the difference was errors and how we reacted to those errors. We missed four serves every set,” Creston co-coach Mallory Peterson said.

Creston did grab a 10-7 lead after a Samantha Dunphy smash and and some aggressive play offensively and defensively, but the Panthers then surrendered four consecutive points to fall behind 11-10.

“She (Dunphy) definitely is coming along as a player.

Really nice for us,” Peterson said.

After falling behind 10-8, St. Albert scored seven of the next 8 points for a 15-11 lead.

Mistakes and unfortunate bounces went against the Panthers as St. Albert seized control.

“Then when we were kind of bouncing back and forth around 11, we had a couple balls just drop for no reason,” Peterson said.

“Mental focus gone. Sure it happens, but we didn’t react well to those.”

The Panthers’ communication suffered, and Creston gave away points.

St. Albert won set one 2516.

Set two didn’t swing any particular way early on and Cayla Maitlen got heavily involved, as she began chewing up attack opportunities (she went 40-45 on attacks) and ended up pounding home eight kills.

After a Breanna Wallace kill made it 8-7 in favor of St. Albert, Creston fell back further to 12-9.

up its hitters, but could not string together points.

“I thought they moved the ball around well and their hitters were very aggressive,” St. Albert coach Angie Lantz said.

But again, St. Albert eased to a win, this time 2519.

Continued mistakes, serves included, plagued the Panthers, who did not play the type of ball needed to knock off a top flight team.

“They’re all athletic enough that they can go back there and serve the ball in play,” Creston cocoach Noami Sharp said about Creston’s players as it concerned their serving.

“That comes down to mental focus.”

Time and again, any confidence Creston gained was erased by St. Albert’s uncanny ability to dig up the volleyball on difficult chances, while also failing to stop the thunderous kills coming from the likes of the Saintes’ Sydney McLaren. She tallied 11 of the Saintes’ 38 PANTHERS | 11A

East Union rallies for road victory

n Nodaway

Valley falls after taking 2-1 lead on No. 14 Eagles

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD — Class 1A 14th-ranked East Union was pushed to the limit by Nodaway Valley Tuesday in a two-hour battle that went into extended points in the fifth set.

The Eagles, now 11-2, trailed 2-1 in the match before rallying for a 25-27, 25-17, 22-25, 25-20, 20-18 victory in front of a revved up crowd in the Nodaway Valley gym.

“I’m still shaking,” said East Union coach Gail Thatcher to assistant coach Rochelle Means as the players celebrated and marched off to the dressing room.

“I knew it was going to be a battle,” Thatcher said.

“Nodaway Valley always steps up their game when we walk into their gym.”

Nodaway Valley coach Allison Kilburz was proud that her team didn’t wilt against a team with a much better record. In fact, the

19 of the Eagles’ 40 kills.

Rakenzy Pryor and Olivia Eckels each had eight kills.

“It was going back and forth the whole time,” Kilburz said. “A lot of times it wasn’t errors. It was just who was going to get up and finish the ball. They had girls at the end who stepped up and did that. They have some hard hitters.”

In the early going, Nodaway Valley was hot at the service line and used a varying attack against the blocking of the likes of Weinkoetz and Rakenzy Pryor. Nodaway Valley freshman setter Lexi Shike mixed it up, frequently flicking quick tips to openings instead of setting up a hitter.

and a forfeit win against Fort Dodge. Since then, the Wolverines have gone 3-3 to stand at 4-11 going into Thursday’s match against Panorama.

“We played a lot of tough competition at the beginning of our season and I think it has prepared us well for our conference games,” Kilburz said. “It shows.

Here, they (Eagles) are a ranked team and they came out and showed it with energy and making you work for every point. But, I felt that was the same on both sides tonight. We had great support from our crowd and our teammates.”

Down 2-1, East Union’s serving improved in the 25-

20 fourth set to force the fifth set battle.

The Wolverines held an early 6-4 lead, but East Union came back to go in front 9-6.

Once it got to 10-10, it became a matter of which team could eventually open up the required two-point lead down the stretch.

Finally, with her team trailing 18-17, Weinkoetz slammed a kill to the middle to tie it, then ended a long rally with another kill for 1918, and finished it with the final kill of the night after Mitchell’s serve.

“It was a tough battle,” Kilburz said. “We had freshmen in there and it was a situation where you could be scared and back off, but that did not happen.”

From Thatcher’s viewpoint, it was a matter of sur-

vival in a tough road test.

“We have some hitters who are young or relatively new to varsity so we’re going to make some of those mistakes,” Thatcher said. “But we were attacking the ball there in those final two sets.

And our defensive players in the back were working their butts off — Callie Gossman, Jayden Welcher and Mikala Sanson off the bench. This was definitely anybody’s game tonight.”

Registration open for Iowa Student Loan’s parent giveaway Save now, save later giveaway will provide 50 $1,000 awards for College Savings Iowa accounts. n

WEST DES MOINES – New changes mark the fourth year of the parent-focused giveaway program from Iowa Student Loan.

Fifty parents, an increase from 30 in previous years will be awarded $1,000 deposits into a College Savings Iowa plan during the Save Now, Save Later: College Savings Plan Parent Giveaway. The program is open to Iowa residents who have a student in grades six through 12 at an Iowa middle or high school.

“This year we’ve added parents of middle schoolers to the eligible participants, as it is an important age to start thinking about

college plans, even if it seems far in the future,” said Steve McCullough, president and CEO of Iowa Student Loan. “Our program will help guide parents to start planning for college, and give them a chance to win a $1,000 savings plan contribution, which can make an impact on a college student’s finances.”

No purchase is necessary to enter. The program is open to Iowa residents who are a parent or guardian of an eligible Iowa student.

As part of the registration process, parents will view the parent handbook, a new online, self-exploratory educational module.

The module is a series of valuable tips, categorized by relevant topics, to help families of students in grades 6–12 prepare for success in college and other postsecondary options.

Iowa Student Loan works directly with Col-

lege Savings Iowa on the giveaway. College Savings Iowa is the state’s direct-sold 529 program, administered by State Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald. Parents who are chosen as winners can have the deposit made to an existing account for the registered student, or a new account can be set up upon winning the giveaway.

“The program puts into perspective the importance of being financially aware and that college is an investment in your child’s future,” said Julie Resch, a 2016 winner from Spirit Lake. “It was a great refresher for me as we start to help our second child get ready for entering college.”

Registration for the program runs now through Oct. 22. Winners will be selected in November and announced after they are notified.
