By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA associate editor khaugen@crestonnews.com

Competing, a possibility of winning prizes and supporting a local organization are the main highlights of the LC Open Trap Shoot.

The third-annual event is scheduled Saturday, Sept.

24, at the High Lakes Outdoor Alliance shooting range, located north of Afton near Three Mile Lake.

“It is done as a benefit for the LifeCare Pregnancy Resources centers here in Creston and Stuart,” said Rick Ramaeker of Creston.

“It’s a lot of outdoor fun, No. 1, and the presence of CNA photo by KELSEY HAUGEN the LifeCare centers, they Pictured is a trap-shoot field at the High Lakes Outdoor Alliance shooting range, locat- truly do bring life to our ed north of Afton near Three Mile Lake.

Unofficially, fall enrollment and credit hours are down slightly at Southwestern Community College, Dean of Student Services Beth Kulow reported during a SWCC board meeting Tuesday.

“I don’t have the final numbers yet, but ... we are short eight students from today’s date in history going back,” Kulow said. “Now, this is our 14-day count. So, students who aren’t here, that type of thing (aren’t in- Kulow cluded).

Right now, our headcount is down fourtenths of a percent – literally eight students. And, our credit hours are down 4 percent.”

However, Kulow said she is seeing a similar trend among other Iowa community colleges.

“Right now, headcount is up five-hundredths of a percent, and credit hours are down approximately 1 percent if we average all the state colleges,” Kulow said.

“The most significant changes I’ve seen across the state (are) Southeastern Community College had a headcount increase of 9 percent ... and Northwest (Iowa Community College) has the highest credit-hour increase of 3 percent. WIT (Western Iowa Tech Community College)

is looking at an 11 percent decrease in credit hours and 8 percent decrease in headcount. So, we are amongst our peers here.”

The final numbers will be released soon. For now, Kulow said she is working to target students more specifically when recruiting.

“We do still have the opportunity to enroll students in our 12-week classes, our eight-week classes, and then, of course, retention at this point in time is incredibly important to us,” Kulow said. “It always is, but the students we have here, we want to make sure they are successful this fall semester and we roll them into the spring semester so we see that strong retention rate.

And then, we’ll recruit heavily for the spring semester so we get that credit-hour (number) back up.

Spartan Drive Also during the meeting, Tom Lesan, SWCC vice president of economic development, provided updates on construction projects.

The Spartan Drive project involved tearing out roughly 1,000 feet of concrete and pouring new, 24-foot-wide and 7-inch-deep concrete.

“All the concrete is in the ground. It looks really nice,” Lesan said. “We have one section where the water flow is not right the way we want it yet, so I won’t be a bit surprised if the engineer doesn’t have them tear out a section and re-pour that. We had to do that with one other one already.”

Iowa court to hear lawsuit on 2 mental health institutes DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court will formally hear details of a lawsuit against Gov. Terry Branstad that challenges his decision last year to close two state mental health institutes.

The court is set to hear arguments Wednesday to determine if Branstad’s veto of funding for the facilities in Clarinda and Mount Pleasant was proper and constitutional.

The president of Iowa’s largest public employees union and several Democratic lawmakers filed the

lawsuit in July 2015, shortly after Branstad vetoed funding for the facilities.

Branstad has argued patients at the institutes are able to access care Branstad through other services.

The lawsuit claims Iowa law requires the institutes to be open alongside institutes in Cherokee and Independence. A district court judge ruled in favor of Branstad.

Death Marvin E. Garrett Sr. Creston

Marvin E. Garrett Sr., 91, of Creston died Saturday, Sept.

3, 2016, at Creston Specialty Care in Creston.

Private services will be held at a later date. Burial will be private at Moon Cemetery, south of Macksburg.

P o w e r s Garrett Sr. Funeral Home, junction of highways 34 and 25, in Creston is assisting with arrangements. Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Marvin Earl Garrett, Sr., son of Martha Lillian (Grandfield) Garrett and Russell LaVigne Garrett, was born Dec. 29, 1924, in the Afton area. He graduated from Macksburg High School in 1942. Marvin served in the United States Army during World War II. On June 13, 1943, Marvin married Harriet Emily Lattig

communities.”

A member of the High Lakes shooting range, Ramaeker is also on the Shoot for Life Committee that founded the LC Open Trap Shoot.

“The competition will be in trap shooting only, so they’ll be shooting at the 16-yard line out of a trap house,” Ramaeker Ramaeker said. “But, we will also be either demonstrating or allowing someone to try the skeet range. I’ve been in contact with the guys who have organized the .22-caliber target shoot out there, and hopefully ... we’ll be demonstrating that as well.”

Anyone 12 years of age or older is eligible to participate in the LC Open Trap Shoot.

“It’s for fun but it’s a competition, too,” Ramaeker said.

“We break it down into age groups, so 12, 13 and 14-yearolds will all shoot together; 15, 16 and 17-year-olds shoot together and then 18 and over.

With the two older classes, we have a group for experienced shooters and novice shooters.

So, if somebody goes out and shoots trap out of this kind of trap house a lot, is pretty experienced and usually shoots in the 20s or better out of 25 birds, we ask them to put themselves as experienced. If they don’t, we consider them novices.”

Participants can form teams, and they don’t have to be in the same age or experience class to shoot as a team.

“For example, last year, the gentleman who won in the experienced division, he and his daughter both shot and his daughter shot in the youth division, and he won the experienced division,” Ramaeker said. “So, you don’t have to be in the same category in order to be considered a team. We’ll just pull out those scores and count them together.

Winners will be awarded with trophies at the end of the competition.

There will be trophies for first, second and third place within each age and experience class. And, for the first year, a team trophy will be presented.

The event will include a raffle for outdoor-related prizes donated by Creston businesses – Farm and Home Supply,

in Maryville, Missouri. They primarily lived and worked out of the Macksburg, Winterset and Pitzer areas. Marvin owned and operated his own tractor/trailer semi. They later moved to Kinsley, Kansas, where Marvin sold his truck, and worked as the dispatcher in the transportation department for Cross Manufacturing out of Lewis, Kansas, until retirement. They then moved back to Macksburg and later to Creston.

Marvin was a member of Theodore J. Martens Post No. 1797 of Creston VFW and Creston American Legion Post No. 70.

Marvin is survived by his wife Harriet of Creston; daughters, Sherry (Dennis) Lauranzano of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Sharlene Hood of Winterset and Terri (Steve) Wendland of Lawrence, Kansas; sons, Marv (Chris) Garrett of Allen, Texas, and Rick (Doreen) Garrett of Creston; 13 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.

Marvin was preceded in death by his parents, and brothers, Raymond, Don and Bob Garrett.

True Value Hardware and Wal-Mart – as well as committee members.

“Last year, we had some .22-caliber ammunition, 100 rounds of 12-gauge shot shells, a really nice print of a whitetail deer on a wood panel, a combination car charger and starter, ear muffs for protection when you’re shooting, a hunting vest and a filet knife,” Ramaeker said.

Sign-in and registration begins at 9 a.m. Sept. 24 with the opening ceremony at 9:30 a.m.

The event runs until approximately 1:30 p.m., when trophies are distributed.

Pre-registration is now through Saturday, or participants can register the day of.

Registration forms may be picked up at Farm and Home Supply or Creston True Value Hardware. Cost is $25 for pre-registration or $35 for registrations the day of the event.

For more information, call Ramaeker at 641-782-5264.

“For the cost, you’ll get to compete and you’ll get a token with our logo and this year’s event stamped on it and that entitles you to a free breakfast and ticket for the raffle for outdoor stuff,” Ramaeker said.

Last year, about 35 people ranging in age from 12 to 70s competed, with an additional 40-some spectators.

“It usually draws some people who come just to watch because it’s fun to watch,” Ramaeker said.

All proceeds that don’t go into the cost of running the event will go to the LifeCare centers.

“The money will be used for LifeCare’s Earn While You Learn program, so the young women and men involved in conceiving and having a child can earn points by doing different things or going through different training as parents,” Ramaeker said. “They can earn points toward things the child will need: baby diapers, baby bottles, formula, clothes, those kinds of things.”

Lyndon Davenport and his wife, Dea, both of Diagonal are also volunteers for the event and are part of the Shoot of Life Committee. Davenport said he is helping with organization of the competition.

“It’s fun for men (and women) to compete, but ... we also try to get people aware of the LifeCare clinic and what it does,” Davenport said. “The people who work at the clinic and the executive director will be there to answer questions and explain a little more about the clinic.”

“The World Health Organization, the people that dictate health, are deeming breastfeeding the best thing for babies, and so that’s where we’re coming from with that,” said Jill John, birthing center nurse manager at Greater Regional. “Studies have shown that breastfeeding is better for babies, and helps moms, too.”

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Preventions, in 2013, 80.5 percent of Iowa mothers have breastfed before. Of that same group, 52.9 percent breastfed at 6 moths, which decreases to 33.8 percent who breastfed at 12 months.

Support group Oct. 3 is the launch date for the postnatal breastfeeding support group Williams will be hosting. The group will meet the first Monday of each month from 7 to 9 p.m. in the lactation room in the hospital, a new room devoted to teaching new mothers how to breastfeed and allowing patients, visitors and staff the privacy to feed their babies.

“Breastfeeding is important. It helps the baby. It decreases infection, helps them be healthier. For the mother, it’s less chance of breast and ovarian cancer and heart disease,” Williams said.

“After mothers get home, they don’t have us here in the hospital helping them,

The lactation room at Greater Regional Medical Center is the meeting place for the breastfeeding support group beginning next month. The room, a new addition to the hospital, allows privacy for patients, visitors and staff to feed their babies, as well as provide a space for meetings. Tricia Williams, RN, BSN and lactation counselor at the hospital, is hosting the support group, as well as breastfeeding classes, to raise awareness of the importance of breastfeeding.

so they get discouraged,” Williams continued. “At that point they get discouraged because they’re having engorgement issues or they think the baby isn’t getting enough breast milk, and they may stop.”

The support group is free for all mothers, not just those who delivered their babies at GRMC. “We’re hoping to increase breastfeeding rates. Breastfeeding rates usually drop in the first 10 days after somebody leaves the hospital because of lack of support or they have sore breasts or they feel the baby isn’t getting enough milk,” Williams said. “So, my goal is to help them achieve what their goal is, which is to feed their baby.”

Breastfeeding classes will begin Oct. 8. They are once each month, and are also scheduled for Nov. 12 and Dec. 10 from 9 a.m. to noon in the MAP room at GRMC. Here, expecting mothers can learn about the process of breastfeeding and its benefits.

“With the deliveries that we have, I would say even 85 percent (of mothers) want to breastfeed, they come in and say they want to do it,” John said. “And, nobody knows how to do it. So we’re here to assist them in beginning that. Tricia is trying to keep up the support that they get in the hospital, trying to keep it up after they go home.”

The prenatal classes are

scheduled three months at a time, and registration is required.

“This is going to be a huge benefit to our area,” Williams said. “A lot of people show up here and they have no knowledge. They just know they want to breastfeed, but this will help them prior to coming in, to gain knowledge that they need to get a better start at breastfeeding.”

Classes are free to mothers who plan to deliver at Greater Regional, and $15 for those who plan to deliver elsewhere.

Registration for the class is required. To register or for other questions about the class or support group, contact Williams at 641-7823519.

“They actually have the structure up for the mezzanine that they’ll work off of.

That was huge. It was taking a long time,” Lesan said.

“We ran into problems as we Lesan went. It’s taken us about four weeks to get to this point where we

actually have the frame up.”

Now that the mezzanine is up, Lesan expects construction to pick up speed.

“Carpet is in town ... so we’ll get the carpet in and then the seats get put in last,” Lesan said. “We have not rented that room out until that week (after) Nov. 1 just to make sure we are ready for programs in there at that time. Hopefully Nov. 1, we’ll be back in business 100 percent; everything will be good.”

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. 1 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, 600 W. Michigan, in Lenox. Lenox Cub Scouts will be serving lunch starting at 11 a.m.

There are over 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 community 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 coun-

ties 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 and Greenfield parade with books. Our budget has been used for books, family fun night activities with meals, training room rent for providers and other child care provider supports that is agreed upon by the group.

In the state of Iowa, there are more than 236,000 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 91 percent of families with parents working and children under the age of 6. Taylor County has more than 740 children ages 0-9, with 72 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 15 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 daycare 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 Lenox Cub Scouts, and join us for some shopping and food at the vendor and craft show Oct. 1 in Lenox.

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

Hillary Clinton collapsed while waiting for a Secret Service van to evacuate her from a World Trade Center attack remembrance in New York Sunday. She’s caught pneumonia. Hillary made the mistake of slipping out into the general public on Friday and a basket of deplorables breathed on her.

Hillary Clinton let her true Tory Methodist personality slip out when she said half of Trump’s supporters are in a basket of deplorables. She’s so surprised by the anger the comment stirred that she doesn’t know how to apologize. It just made things worse when Hillary told them to eat cake.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign admitted after a nine-hour stall that she had pneumonia Sunday but would be fine after a rest and antibiotics.

Donald Trump was gracious. When Trump heard that Hillary caught pneumonia he stopped by a gift shop and bought her a get well in two months card.

Donald Trump tore into Hillary for labeling half of his supporters as a basket of deplorables, saying Hillary puts people into baskets instead of seeing them as human beings.

She’s the same way with germs. Hillary Clinton’s campaign just identified pneumococcus as a right-wing hate group.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign initially explained she overheated during a World Trade Center remembrance Sunday. She left the event early.

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

While waiting for the van to take her away, Hillary collapsed and then fainted, which alarmed Democrats, concerned Republicans and aroused Bill Cosby.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign staff was ripped Monday for claiming she’s healthy while she had walking pneumonia, on top of her coughing fits, concussion, and blood clots. It’s been like this for a quarter century.

Hillary Clinton can’t even get old and sick without requiring a special prosecutor.

Saturday Night Live’s Kate McKinnon said last week she’s afraid if Hillary loses the election that SNL won’t use her Hillary impression.

That has just changed. Now Kate’s afraid if Hillary’s elected she’ll get addicted to pain pills the way Chevy Chase did when he impersonated Gerald Ford.

Donald Trump was photographed being greeted by the Archbishop of St. Louis at the cathedral Saturday for Phyllis Schlafley’s funeral.

With Trump was Melania in a black dress with a gold zipper all the way down the back. If you had predicted 10 years ago that this photo would happen, the bartender would’ve stopped serving you.

The Pentagon released a weight survey of all military personnel

Monday which said 8 percent of all U.S. soldiers are now classified as overweight. That’s skyrocketed from 1 percent overweight 15 years ago. We’re now looking for a country to invade that has oil and no hills on it.

North Korea successfully tested a large nuclear bomb on Friday which Kim Jung Un said can be mounted onto a missile that can destroy Hollywood. No one’s worried out here in L.A. Even if the bomb landed on Hollywood, nothing is going to happen unless it has a relative already in the industry.

Julien’s auction house in L.A. will sell 1,300 Marilyn Monroe items Friday. It includes the dress she wore to sing Happy Birthday to JFK. Because bad health required him to take steroids, Jack’s record for adultery in the White House will always be accompanied by an asterisk.

Oliver Stone’s new movie Snowden premieres Friday about Edward Snowden the NSA leaker who blew the lid off NSA surveillances of everyone and everything.

What he did is wrong. That’s why we have indicted Edward Snowden on charges of spying and stealing the data we stole through spying.

U.S. News and World Report says Russian street gangs in St. Petersburg are going on gay dating sites to locate gay men so they blackmail them. Blackmail is a rapidly spreading crime. Justin Bieber’s mother in Canada recently said she’d like to have another child, unless her demands are met.

Creston Automotive presents $6,000 donation GREENFIELD – Rick Benson, owner of Creston Automotive, recently presented Scott Steele, president of Adair County Fair Board, a check for $6,000. The donation was the result of all the participation in the Drive 4UR Community event that was held July 9 at Adair County Fairgrounds. “We were proud to partner with the Adair County Fair for this event,� Benson said. “We were thrilled to be able to raise the maximum donation through the Drive 4UR Community program and be able to give back to one of the communities that has supported us.�

Taco John’s takes ranking on America’s fastest-growing private companies DES MOINES – Inc. magazine has named Taco John’s of Iowa to its 35th-annual Inc. 5,000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies.

Taco John’s of Iowa ranked 4,752 on the list following a three-year sales growth of 48 percent. The list represents a comprehensive look at one of the most important segments of America’s economy – independent small businesses.

Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Timberland and LinkedIn gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5,000. “We’re especially proud to make this list, considering

we’re a 43-year-old organization,� said Bill Byrne, Taco John’s of Iowa founder and chairman. “Over the years, we have been the first workplace for so many young people who are now employers and leaders throughout Iowa. We tried, during the time they spent with us, to give them a good first impression of free enterprise.

That is one of our proudest accomplishments.�

The companies on the 2016 Inc. 5,000 list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8 percent of all jobs created in the entire U.S. economy during that period. “We want to make a differ-

ence in the communities we serve,� said Jeff Brands, Taco John’s of Iowa CEO. “We currently have about 400 employees in 23 restaurants, or an average of 17 employees per restaurant. That has a significant impact on local economies.�

what’s cookin’ in

3 Tbsp. granulated sugar 2 cups buttermilk, room temp 2 eggs, room temp 1 Tbsp. pure vanilla extract 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled 2 small granny smith apples, peeled and diced very finely (approx. 1 1/2 cups)

Prepare the dry ingredients by whisking together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, malted milk and sugar in a large bowl; set aside.

In another large bowl add the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla, and using a hand mixer (or you can vigorously whisk), mix the ingredients for about a minute until very well combined; next, slowly drizzle in the melted butter as you continue to mix until that is combined.

Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and very gently mix just until barely moistened; then, add in the diced apples and mix a little more, just until combined (a few lumps is just fine— you DO NOT want to over mix the batter, or the flapjacks will be flat and rubbery!); set the batter aside, covered with some plastic wrap, to rest for 15 minutes.

Place a non-stick skillet over low or medium-low heat, and brush a little canola oil on the bottom; once hot, add a 1/3 cup-size portion of the batter in (per flapjack), and cook the flapjacks for about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side, until golden-brown.

Serve warm with softened butter and some warm buttery cider syrup.

WARM BUTTERY CIDER SYRUP 1 cup pancake syrup 1/4 cup fresh-pressed apple juice or “cider” (not the clear kind, but the unfiltered kind) 2 Tbsp. cold, unsalted butter Place the pancake syrup into a small saucepan, and whisk in the fresh-pressed apple juice; place over low heat and allow the mixture to heat slowly, just until hot.

Turn heat off, and add in the butter, whisking to completely blend it into the syrup and make it glossy.

Allow the cider syrup to cool just slightly to “warm” in order for it to thicken up a bit, and serve. (You can make this ahead and keep it in the fridge; just gently reheat when ready to use.) what’s cookin’ in kyp’s kitchen sponsored by:

Does my poultry need a rinse?

Dear Heloise: Is it necessary to RINSE FRESH POULTRY before cooking? My mother always did, and for years I also rinsed it. I have read, though, that it should not be, because it spreads bacteria in the kitchen. -- A Reader, Charlotte, N.C. You are right! According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, raw meats and poultry should never be washed because of possible cross-contamination from juices. As you wash the meat and poultry, juices could splatter in the sink, onto counters and elsewhere in the kitchen. Once the food is thoroughly cooked, the bacteria will be killed, so there is no need for rinsing. -- Heloise P.S. Another food that should never be washed is eggs in the shell, because bacteria can get through the porous shell to contaminate the egg.

CONDENSED MILK Dear Heloise: Do you have a recipe for making sweetened condensed milk?

Can I substitute cream of coconut in recipes for sweetened condensed milk? -Marty B., Eastover, N.C.

Hints from Heloise Yes, I do have a recipe, and yes, you can use cream of coconut as a substitute!

For the recipe, gather the following: 1 cup powdered milk 1/3 cup boiling water 2/3 cup granulated sugar 3 tablespoons butter Mix all the ingredients together in a blender and blend on low for one to two minutes. Increase the speed until smooth. You shouldn’t be able to feel any sugar granules when done, and the amount will be equal to one can of sweetened condensed milk. You can find this recipe and many others in my Heloise’s Seasonings, Sauces and Substitutes pamphlet, which is available to buy online at www.Heloise.com, or by sending $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (68 cents) envelope to: Heloise/ SSS, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

In an emergency, substitutions are great, but be aware

that they might not have the same texture and consistency as the original. -- Heloise CANNED GOODS Dear Readers: We all have canned items in our pantries. I asked my staff in Heloise Central if they wipe the top of the cans before opening and using. All but one staff member ALWAYS wipes the top, while my one staff member said she wipes the can only if it looks dirty or dusty (she also uses a can opener that takes the lid completely off, and there is no danger of it falling back into the can).

Horoscope For Thursday, Sept. 15, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be doing a slow boil about something because silly errors at work make you impatient. Nevertheless, by sounding off, you will gain nothing, and you might make things worse!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A discussion about shared property will meet with resistance from someone else today. This is a poor day to ask for a loan or mortgage or for a favor from someone.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Relations with parents, bosses and authority figures will be challenging at some point today. That’s why life might feel hard. “Nobody loves me.”

(Relax. This is a fleeting thing.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Teachers and anyone involved in medicine and the law might be difficult to deal with today.

In fact, avoid subjects like politics, religion and racial issues, because they will be too difficult to discuss.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) If you are talking about loans, mortgages and shared property today, you will meet with obstacles. Someone in authority will not approve. Choose another day!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your relations with close friends and partners are difficult today, because there seems to be a lack of emotional flexibility. Someone might even be depressed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is not the day to ask your boss or a co-worker for help.

Their response will be, “Talk to the hand.” (Oops.)

Just accept this because, hey, it goes with the territory. Don’t try to change rules in sports today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is not the day to ask a parent or someone in a position of authority in the family for help. They will not be receptive. Just bide your time and wait for another day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Everyone is a bit negative today. It’s not just you. Don’t take it personally and do not react.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)This is a poor day for financial decisions because someone will block what you want to do. Choose another day.

Timing is everything.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Today the Moon is opposite your sign and at odds with stern Saturn. That’s why it is difficult to get along with others. (It’s not just you.)

YOU BORN TODAY You are intelligent, charming and perceptive. You want to lead a balanced life that has meaning

and offers service. In the next three years, you will experience a time of culmination, success and financial accumulation. That’s why it is wise to settle your debts this year. This is also a social year that also deals with the results of last year’s changes.

Panther netters learn in road loss

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA Sports Editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

COUNCIL BLUFFS — St. Albert’s attacks came quick and furious at Creston during Tuesday’s Hawkeye 10 volleyball match.

The Saintes hitters were too much for the Panthers to stop as St. Albert rolled to a 3-0 win, 25-15, 25-19 and 25-15.

“They’re a very good team,” said Creston coach Polly Luther. “They have some really great hitters and their passers are remarkable.”

Creston finished with only one block.

“When you have that, boy it’s hard to defend,” Luther said.

The Saintes offensive speed flustered the Panthers.

“It’s almost virtually impossible to stop them,” Luther said. “Their hits are coming so hard and so fast at P. Luther times that unless it comes right to you, it’s hard to get off.”

The young Panther squad took growth in small steps.

“With our youth, you have to know what to expect and how to be prepared and ready to take on any given point,” Luther said. “We’re learning slowly. We’re getting there.

Sometimes it feels like we’re not, but

we will.”

Breanna Wallace had seven kills, was 10-of-11 serving and had eight digs.

“Breanna Wallace had a good game all the way J. Luther around,” Luther said. “Her passing finally started to come on. Her hitting was pretty decent.”

The Panthers will take any sign of growth right now.

“Sometimes with youth and inexperience, things come in baby steps,” Luther said. “You grasp the good things that are going on even when you feel you’re beat down and Bre-

anna Wallace was one of those good things.”

Cayla Maitlen had five kills and eight digs. Jaxie Luther had 15 assists, six digs and was 11-for-11 serving.

UP NEXT — Creston (4-5, 0-2) is back on the court Thursday hosting Denison-Schleswig.

“That’s a big game for us,” coach Luther said. “We need to get some w’s under our belt. Denison is no slouch. They improve every single year. You’ll see a good Denison team.

CRESTON STATISTICS Serving — Luther 11-11, Wallace 10-11 Maitlen 8-9 Blocks — Hood 1.

Digs — Maitlen 8, Wallace 8, Luther 6.

15-25, 19-25, 15-25 Kills - Wallace 7, Maitlen 5, Buxton 3, Hood 3.

Strong start powers NV netters to road win

By RYAN KRONBERG out to leads of 3-0 and 8-3 in CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

AFTON — Nodaway Valley hasn’t always started out the best this season on the volleyball court.

Thanks to some strong serving and the ability to win a number of long rallies, the Wolverines performed much better in Tuesday’s Pride of Iowa Conference match against East Union.

The Wolverines survived a bit of a hiccup in game three and came back with a strong game four to take the match three sets to one in Afton, 25-18, 25-16, 21-25 and 2512.

The Wolverines jumped

the first set.

“We’ve had problems in the past starting out quick,” said Nodaway Valley coach Allison Bjork. “Tonight they got on it and stayed on it.”

Nodaway Valley kept the momentum going in set one, pushing the lead out to 14-5.

East Union did make a bit of a surge late, closing within 25-18, but the Wolverines led on.

The Wolverines’ serving kept the pressure on the Eagles.

“They were hitting their spots exactly where they should be,” Bjork said.

Timberwolves pick up ‘systemic’ victory

By KALEB CARTER

kacarter@crestonnews.com

CORNING — Early dominance combined with strong play late in the last two sets brought Southwest Valley a 3-0 home win over the Lenox Tigers Tuesday.

The Timberwolves grabbed an emphatic 25-10 first-set win before earning victories in much more tightly-contested wins in the second and third sets by scores of 27-25 and 2520.

In the second set, Lenox took the Timberwolves to match point with a 25-24 lead. Jacy Stoaks had blocked a ball at the net to tie the second set at 24, and a Tigers block gave the Tigers the one-point advantage. Jentry Schafer came up with a big block for the Timberwolves to tie it. The Timberwolves then came through with two clutch points on a few Tiger mistakes in a loud Activity Center to move ahead 2-0 by way of a 27-25 second-set win.

“Katelyn (Belding) came back out and she was determined to figure out that serve receive and stuff and they did a much better job,” Lenox coach Sara Dukes said. “They came back and fought a lot harder and that was exactly what we were asking for.”

Enter the third set, the two teams scratched and clawed. A few fortuitous bounces off the net and aggres-

Fall fishing frenzy Fall is a great time to be outdoors.The air is cool, the views are picturesque and the fish are pulling out of their late summer slumber.

“Fall offers excellent fishing opportunities for both new and expert anglers,” said Joe Larscheid, chief ofthe Iowa Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Bureau. “Get out there and enjoy them.”

Cooler temperatures and shorter daylight periods trigger fish to actively move in search of food to build energy reserves to settle into their winter habitat. These predictable movements make them easier to locate.

“Yellow perch, muskies, crappies, walleyes largemouth and smallmouth bass put on a last minute flurry before winter,” explained Larscheid.

The fall bite in lakes and ponds shifts to the main part of the day. Fish are more active during the day and can becaught close to shore. Target areas of a lake where the

water is warmer, particularly in shallow water bays along the north shore.

“Use live bait, particularly minnows,small tackle and fish slowly when fishing in cooler water,” Larscheid said.

Look for panfish schools in open water near structure like a brush pile, underwater hump, drop-offs and rock reefs. Largemouth bass will be close to some type of structure during the fall likeunderwater brush piles, old road beds, rock reeks or weed lines.

Fish in streams will begin moving to their wintering areas in October. Stream flow is often lower in the fall; allowing better angler access.

Channel catfish will move downstream from smaller streams to the deepest holes they can find in larger streams. Walleyes will move to the next deepest holes and pike to the next deepest.

“Dan(ica Sunderman) is our go-to hitter,” Wetzel said. “We can go anywhere with Dan and be fine. She really attacks the ball well.”

Big plays from Sunderman, Jentry and Jacy Schafer and Roberts helped fuel the way to victory. The Timberwolves had 25 kills as a team and Sunderman led the way with eight.

Wetzel did however, want to see better from her team at certain times, and noted several of the runs that Lenox made.

“Still a little bit of struggle with serve receive, getting that ball above the 10-foot line so we can stay in system but it was good to see them stay fighting there and come back,” Wetzel said.

As always, her team knows there’s specific areas of improvement that need addressed.

“The kids have a goal about unforced errors because we tend to have so many so if we can cut that down by a third or a fourth, we’d be sitting good.,” Wetzel said.

Lenox struggled early and has done so early on in some matches as of late.

“We’re working on just talking more and doing more team-wise,” Dukes said. “Sometimes we need to mesh more sometimes.

together, fueled in part by attacking the ball more aggressively and a Stoaks block.

The Tigers trailed by one, 16-15.

The Timberwolves responded by winning four of the next five points to go up 20-16. In that stretch, the Timberwolves received big contributions in the form of a Morgan Shuey tip over the net into open space to stop Lenox’s run, and then a momentous kill from Abby Fleharty.

But Lenox fought on, winning four more straight points, aided by a big point-winner by Hannah Davis and a mental mistake and an unforced error by Southwest Valley left the set at 20-20.

Southwest Valley won a long rally to win a point that gave the Timberwolves confidence and seemed to deflate Lenox. Jacy Schafer picked up a block, Jentry Schafer blasted a kill and Kiara Roberts came up with a play to win the set, and match to end on a 5-0 run.

It was in stretches at the end of the match that the play of the hitters came through for Southwest Valley.

“That’s something we practice over and over again.

It’s nice to see them come through with it in a game.”

East Union was trying a new rotation Tuesday. The move, noted coach Gail Thatcher, featured a number of young players.

“We had three freshmen and three sophomores in the lineup and only one returning senior,” Thatcher said.

The youth showed at times in the match, particularly in serve receive.

“That’s what you have when you have new girls serve receiving,” said East Union coach Gail Thatcher The back row in the first rotation featured several new faces in the back row.

Nodaway Valley had a number of upperclassmen who stepped up and played well.

“We have a nice group of seniors that are ready to step up and finish the ball,” Bjork said. “That’s what I told them. I need to see someone step up. We had girls continuously doing that at different times.”

Multiple players had a hand in the Wolverines taking control of the match.

Bike Your Park on Sept.

24 Thousands of people across the country are expected to participate in the inaugural Bike Your Park Day on Saturday, Sept. 24.

This new national event promotes exploration of parks and public lands by bicycle.

Iowa’s state parks make beautiful biking destinations for families and friends, especially now, with cooler temperatures and changing seasons. Many state parks connect to more extensive bike trail systems, giving cyclists choices of distance and difficulty.

Worth a considerationnext time you want to pedal a park are the following: Big Creek State Park is one Iowa state parks’ best biking destinations.

Located just north of Polk City, the park hosts miles 23-26 of the Neal Smith Trail. Riders can explore

the wooded areas, prairies and shorelines in the park or continue on to downtown Des Moines. From the parking lot at Big Creek Beach, riders can go two miles east on 142nd Avenue to access the High Trestle Trail. The park’s location between these trails makes it an ideal park for bicycling opportunities.

George Wyth State Park makes a great biking park because its trails adjoin the Cedar Valley Trail system with more than 100 paved miles. There are many looped routes ranging from 6.2 miles to 50+ miles. The park also has 10 miles of soft trails for biking.

The main “stem” of the Iowa Great Lakes Trail system is a 14-mile, ten-footwide, hard surface trail with many arteries to explore Iowa’s Great Lakes and the vast array of parks, beaches, lakeshores and other public areas that surround them.

All participants wear clothes and uniforms of the 1840s and have trade blankets ondisplay with thousands of period artifacts such as guns, tomahawks, knives, cannons, furs and supplies.

Fort Atkinson was an active military post for the expanding United States from 1840 to 1849. The purpose of the fort was to keep the HoChunk (Winnebago) tribe on neutral ground in the Iowa Territory and to keep peace on the frontier between the Ho-Chunk, Sioux, Sauk and Meskwaki tribes and Euro-American settlers.

The fort was acquired by the State of Iowa in 1921 and became part of the State Preserves system in 1968.

The trail connects with three miles of other paved trails south of the lake traveling through a wildlife management area, past Southwestern Community College and ending in the town of Creston. Other grass multi-purpose trails in Green Valley State Park also offer bikers a soft-trail experience.

Pine Lake State Park has 2.6 miles of beautiful paved bike trail connecting its cabins and campground toits beach and fishing accesses on the Upper and Lower Pine lakes. Bikers can add about three more miles to their ride by starting at Deer Park in the town of Eldora, crossing the Iowa River and heading north on the park’s bike trail to Hwy S56. The road will take riders to two Hardin County areas, where the bike trail picks up and goes through Tower Rock to Pine Ridge Park Honey Creek State Park and Resort Guests at Honey Creek Resort, on Lake Rathbun, can choose from a variety of bike types to rent or bring their own to enjoy the surrounding beauty of the resort. The whole resort is bike-friendly. On the wooded peninsula across from the resort is Honey Creek State Park with miles of paved roads inviting cyclists to tour the 800-acre park and catch a glimpse of the wildlife it holds.

Randy Burk and the Prisoners to perform in Corning CORNING – The Corning Opera House Cultural Center brings Randy Burk and the Prisoners, steeped in the rich tradition of Americana artists before them like Steve Earle, Johnny Cash and Dave Alvin, from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24.

Burk’s music is exciting, familiar, honest and soulful with Midwestern sensibility and a blue-collar work ethic. The music is about love, life and pain.

Burk spent his youth singing in the church and listening to his father’s Elvis Presley collection. He once worked in his father’s steel company, framing steel buildings during the day while building his music career by night with country and rock bands.

A chance meeting with Johnny Cash’s son-in-law, Jimmy Tittle, soon put him on the fast track by encouraging him to follow his dreams, hone his talents as a songwriter and vocalist and spend time in Nashville. For a couple of years, he opened for a

variety of acts between New York City and Reno.

In 2001, Randy Burk and the Prisoners was formed with his longtime friend and artist, Jared Hall. They quickly established a loyal following while playing more than 200 Midwest shows. They reached more fans with the release of a seven-song EP. In 2004, the group recorded its debut full-length album, “Down to This,” in Oceanside, California. The album includes melodic ballads of heartbreak, spiritual mountain songs and rip-roaring rockers, which reflects who Burk is.

The other members of the group are Jason Boggs, electric guitar; Nate Runkel, bass; and Jim Stevens, drums. Today after thousands of miles and shows in the U.S. and Europe, they are recording and touring. Recently, the group was awarded $25,000 through ArtistSignal.com to further its career.

4-H’ers compete in ‘awardrobe’ event GREENFIELD – Sadie Marnin received the Iowa State University (ISU) Apparel Merchandising and Design Program “On-Trend” Award during the Iowa State Fair 4-H Awardrobe Clothing Event held at the Memorial Union on the ISU campus in Ames.

Marnin, a junior at Nodaway Valley High School, is the daughter of Allen and Susan Marnin of Greenfield. She was recognized for exhibiting outstanding construction skills and bringing back past fashion trends with her red versatile jumpsuit entered in the fashion revue category. The recognition includes a $25 gift card and an ISU “On-Trend” fashion magazine.

The Awardrobe Clothing Event is an Iowa State Fair 4-H event that provides youth participants with opportunities to showcase their apparel design and production knowledge, as well as creativity skills. During the event, youth participated in hands-on educational workshops; learned more about potential career opportunities in

the field of apparel, merchandising and design and engaged in a service-learning activity.

The youth also completed an interview with a judge and modeled selected or constructed garments in a public runway show.

“4-H participants in the awardrobe clothing event are evaluated on their oral and written communication skills through a written report and one-on-one interview with a judge. The youth are also evaluated on their fashion goals, choice of clothing, knowledge of the garment as well as their poise and confidence displayed while modeling their outfits,” said Cayla Taylor, youth program coordinator with ISU Extension and Outreach 4-H youth development.

Other Adair County 4-H’ers competing included Halee Wallace, daughter of Doug and Julie Wallace of Creston, in the clothing-selection division and Jill Wallace, daughter of David and Connie Wallace of Greenfield, in the $15 challenge clothing-selection division.
