BRIDGEWATER – Amanda Stutzman has seen firsthand how fast the organic food craze has taken off, first as an employee of Whole Foods and now through her work with Bridgewater Farm, a 40acre certified organic farm in Adair County.

“I think it’s nice seeing all the newer people since organic is getting so much new drive. It’s a great fad to follow,” Stutzman said.

“It was great to see so many people who were curious about it and wanted to come in and learn about why you would spend more money on food.

“What is so much better about this strawberry for $7 versus the other quart of strawberries you get at Wal-Mart for $3? I think

people are really starting to think about that and learn that what you put into your food, the way you treat it, what you put into the land directly affects the quality of the food, which directly affects the health of your body.”

According to the U.S. Department of Agricul-

ture’s 2015 Certified Organic Survey released in September 2016, sales of certified organic food were up 13 percent from 2014 to 2015.

Bridgewater Farm, operated by Dale Raasch and his son Tyler, became certified organic about five years ago and has grown in

its operations since then.

Being a certified organic farm means Bridgewater Farm cannot use chemicals on its land. Any drift from chemical spray used on surrounding farms can set the operation back three years, as the farm has to go FARM | 2A

Ordinance 122 – regarding peddlers, solicitors and transient merchants – is in deliberation to see some changes following a workshop discussion during Tuesday’s scheduled city council meeting.

The main issue presented about the ordinance arose around Section 122 Chapter 18 (122.18) regarding the third rule listed relating to license exemptions.

It reads as follows: Chapter 122.18 License Exemptions: The following are excluded from the application of this chapter: .... 3.

Local residents and farmers.

Local residents and farmers who offer products for sale.

The license exemption allows those who fall underneath it to be exempt from paying license fees before receiving a license.

The main issue the council faced with the current wording of the ordinance is what fell under the definition of local resident or farmer.

“The other thing that would be helpful would be clarification on what’s a farmer,” said City Attorney Marion James. “ S o m e - James body that files a schedule F on their tax returns?”

What product the vendor was selling presented an issue as well. Council members discussed whether it should read as “products or produce.”

“I think if that one word was changed from products

to produce all the issues would be gone,” said Dave Koets, Ward 5 council member.

“No, because then the Little Green Trailer wouldn’t be able to operate because they are not selling produce.

They’re selling a product,” responded Police Chief Paul Ver Meer, who is responsible for approving permits.

“I denied (Little Green Trailer’s) permit originally because products, I was thinking produce, the farmers market type stuff,” said Ver Meer.

“He went to the city attorney and Marion agreed with him that he was ex- Ver Meer e m p t because of the way it was worded in the code.”

Council considered leaving the ordinance alone, but James recommended changing the ordinance would make the ordinance clearer from a legal standpoint.

Pushback on added exemptions came from Councilman At-Large Steve Wintermute.

“I’m not going to go into names and figures, but they (local businesses) pay lots of taxes, plain and simple,” said Win- Wintermute termute. “I don’t want to sound like I’m picking on somebody, but everybody needs to pay their fair share.

I’ve paid a lot of taxes on my business so, you know, maybe I’m a little biased.”

Donald, son of Joseph Carl Trost and Ruth Vera Bartrem, was born Feb. 21, 1928, on the family farm northeast of Lenox in Grant Township in Adams County. He attended the oneroom country school near his home through the eighth grade and graduated from Lenox High School in 1945.

Don was inducted into the U.S. Army in 1946 where he trained in anti-aircraft artillery and earned the M-1 Expert Marksmanship Badge.

As a sergeant, he served in the Allied Occupation of Japan during 1946-47 as chief clerk of G-3 Troop Control

through the three-year transition phase again if the land is contaminated with chemicals.

Still, the Raasch family – Dale and Marcie, Tyler and his girlfriend Amanda – see plenty of reason to continue farming organically.

Tyler, wearing a baseball hat with the word “AGAPE” written across it, smeared with dirt from working on the farm all day, sees a bright future for organic farms.

“I think the future is bright for farmers who want to transition into organics,” he said.

“We import way more grain crops than we grow here for organic. We’re importing from Turkey and eastern Europe. There’s farmers here who could grow this stuff and get two to three times the amount they make. If you look at the numbers, it’s a great opportunity and the demand is going through the roof over the past decade. I think it’s going to keep going up.”

Amanda Stutzman of Bridgewater Farm writes products and prices on a chalkboard in early August before the start of the Creston Farmers Market in McKinley Park. Stutzman enjoys educating farmers market customers about the benefits of organic farming.

only California and Wisconsin had more than 1,000 certified organic farms. Washington, Iowa and several northeastern states had between 500 and 1,000 certified organic farms.

“There’s just not many other people (farming organically),” Dale said. “A lot of people are switching to organic food.

The biggest thing is trying to educate the public Raasch on conventional versus organic food, trying to get them to realize why there’s a difference in the price.”

Of the 40 acres on Bridgewater Farm, about 20 acres are certified organic alfalfa hay that the Raasch family feeds to the livestock. Some of the hay is also sold as square bales and large round bales. The other 20 acres includes fruit trees and vegetable production.

Bridgewater farm harvests spinach, radishes, spring mix, arugula, kale, turnips, potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions,

cabbage, broccoli, asparagus, peppers and tomatoes, with Dale estimating the farm includes about 4,000 tomato plants. The Raasch family also grows strawberries, black and red raspberries, peaches, pears, apples, plums, watermelon, cantaloupe, zucchini and squash.

As operations have grown, with Bridgewater Farm traveling to four farmers markets and selling produce to area Hy-Vee and Fareway stores, Dale said he’s trying to produce more food on less ground.

“That’s more of the key than getting bigger,” he said. “You can get bigger and if you’re not efficient, it doesn’t help you at all. And we’re trying to get more equipment to be able to cut our costs down, so we don’t have to do so much hand labor things that take longer.”

Dale and Tyler have two tractors, a cultivator, wheel hoe and use plastic mulch to be more efficient. Tyler has used Facebook and Instagram to learn what organic farms on the coasts are doing and implement those methods on Bridgewater Farm.

The plastic mulch was

one such idea. By using the 4-feet-wide plastic mulch, time spent weeding was dramatically cut down. Now, the plastic mulch is laid over the ground and a hole is cut into it, which the plant is planted into. Then, the only weeding that needs to be done is in the hole cut out for the plant.

Farming organically is a labor-intensive endeavor.

But it is one the Raasch family enjoys and plans to keep doing as the organic food trend continues to boom.

“It’s great to see, even at the farmers market, people who get to come up and ask questions about it and get excited about it,” Stutzman said. “They’re excited about what we’re doing. They’re able to support local and buy something that is good for them. Without a doubt, they know there’s nothing that’s going to hurt you from this food.

“Just being out here every day, providing that option for people and having the opportunity to meet people and educate them and get them excited about organic food is awesome. It keeps me out here.”

Mexicans dig through collapsed buildings as quake kills 225 MEXICO CITY (AP) — Rescuers said Wednesday they have found a surviving child in the ruins of a school that collapsed in Mexico’s magnitude 7.1 earthquake, one of many efforts across the city to save people trapped in under schools, homes and businesses toppled by a quake that killed at least 225 people.

Helmeted workers worked at the debris, sometimes calling for silence, as they tried to reach the girl at the Enrique Rebsamen school in southern Mexico City.

Foro TV reported that res-

Tuesday’s magnitude-7.1 quake struck on the 32nd anniversary of the 1985 earthquake that killed thousands.

Just hours before it hit, people around Mexico had held earthquake drills to mark the date.

One of the most desperate rescue efforts was at the Rebsamen primary and secondary

school, where a wing of the three-story building collapsed into a massive pancake of concrete slabs. Journalists saw rescuers pull at least two small bodies from the rubble, covered in sheets.

Volunteer rescue worker Dr. Pedro Serrano managed to crawl into the crevices of the tottering pile of rubble

that had been Escuela Enrique Rebsamen. He made it into a classroom, but found all of its occupants dead.

“We saw some chairs and wooden tables. The next thing we saw was a leg, and then we started to move rubble and we found a girl and two adults — a woman and a man,” he said.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, September 20, 2017

‘Cross country family’ on display There I was Tuesday evening, patrolling the course at Creston’s home cross country meet, just like I usually do on the third Tuesday of each September.

Aside from the four years I spent living in St. Louis while in college, I have attended or competed in every Panther Invitational since probably the late 1990s.

I’ve never thought about it until just now, penning this column. But that seems remarkable to me.

After all those years of attending the meet, I witnessed something happen Tuesday I hadn’t seen, or at least hadn’t noticed, anytime previously.

Well, a couple of things, actually. There were at least three instances of Greater Regional Medical Center EMTs having to transport either fans or competitors to the hospital. I hope everyone who was transported away from the course is OK.

Vick-tory lap Scott Vicker managing editor My best guess is a majority of people weren’t properly hydrated for Tuesday’s warm weather.

But what really caught my attention is what happened at the end of the night.

I had positioned myself near the top of the final hill, where runners make the ascent up Crestmoor Golf Club’s driving range and then make a turn to the east for the final sprint toward the finish line.

I wanted to cheer for Creston Community High School sophomore Isaac Ralston as he finished his race.

Coach Pat Schlapia always preaches the importance of the “cross country family.” And,

svicker@crestonnews.com @scottvicker

he’s right. Once a part of the cross country team, always a part of the cross country team.

It’s my duty as a member of the cross country family to support all members of the team, whether they cross the finish line first or last.

I’ve also become a big fan of Isaac’s since I wrote a story about him last fall during cross country season and his buddy runner at that time, Brenna Baker.

There were a few of us standing on the hillside Tuesday evening waiting for Isaac to make the turn up the hill.

Farther down the hill stood a group of girls in black uniforms.

When Isaac and his new buddy runner for this year, Isaac Wignall, started climbing the hill, the group of girls in black started going nuts, yelling and cheering.

When Isaac finally passed them, they turned and began running at an angle up the hill toward the finishing stretch. It was then that I caught a glimpse of their Glenwood jerseys.

I expected Creston team members and supporters to be out on the course cheering for Isaac, but it was truly touching to see members of another team out on the course providing support for him.

Isaac showed great determination in climbing the final hill, which was no easy task on a hot day with a strong wind blowing directly into the faces of the runners charging up the hill.

The whole time the group of Glenwood girls ran up the hill toward the finish, they continued cheering and yelling for Isaac.

They waited for him to crest the final hill and turn toward the finish and cheered him on the whole way to the finish line.

This display of sportsmanship showed the cross country family isn’t just limited to those of us who ran cross country for Creston. It extends to everyone who has ever laced up a pair of spikes or put on a singlet.

It is so easy for participants of the sport to forge friendships with those on other teams. I was able to create some lasting friendships with those I competed against while I was in high school.

That sportsmanship also showed what the sport of cross country is all about. We’re all the same. When we’re on the course, it’s just us versus the clock.

There are individual victories even when someone doesn’t win the race. That’s the beauty of it all.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thank you for Honor Flight From Robert J. Clark Creston

On Sept. 16, 2017, as a Korean War veteran, I had the privilege and honor of going on the veterans Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. I found the tour inspiring, moving and humbling to the individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice.

I want to thank the Brushy Creek Area Honor Fight Committee, Tom Hawks, Union County Veterans Affairs, Creston First United Methodist Church, VFW Post 1797, Creston Community Public Schools, Elks Club and all the people in the Creston area who support the veterans Honor Flight program.

Thank you again.

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

President Trump spoke to the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday. He began his speech by saluting the U.N. for its tireless work in maintaining world peace over the last 70 years. It’s always smart to start your speech with a good joke to get the crowd on your side.

President Trump in his speech to the United Nations called upon the civilized world to unite against the growing threat of radical Islam. Last week in the Middle East, the son of Osama bin Laden took command of al-Qaeda. So much for taking over the family business being a Jewish thing.

President Trump and French president Emmanuel Macron met at Trump Tower in New York Monday where they vowed to get terrorist attacks under control.

Never think you’ve got everything under control. One housefly can undo decades of anger management classes in less than five minutes.

Stephen Colbert orchestrated a three-hour roast of President Trump at the Emmy Awards on CBS Sunday. The entertainment industry crowd laughed and cheered every insult he delivered against Trump. I’ve done what Stephen Colbert does onstage, I taught cheerleading clinics in college.

Saturday Night Live’s Alec Baldwin accepted the Emmy Award for his comedy impersonation of President Trump in the

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

White House every week. However, Alec’s win generated some hurt feelings. During his acceptance speech, he forgot to thank the Confederacy for making it all possible.

The Emmy host and presenters and recipients spent all night making fun of President Trump, border control advocates, and complaining about white privilege. They even targeted Confederate statues. God forbid something remind Los Angeles and New York that we are two different countries.

ESPN commentator and SportsCenter host Jemele Hill yielded to pressure and she tweeted an apology for calling President Trump a white supremacist.

She said it was wrong for her to inject her personal feelings into her role as an ESPN host. Nevertheless, CNN is suing ESPN for plagiarism.

St. Louis suffered its fourth night of riots for a white cop’s acquittal for killing a black heroin dealer after a high-speed chase.

It didn’t take a fortune-teller to see this riot coming. Five minutes after the verdict, a St. Louis sporting goods store sold 300 ski masks and not one set of skis.

Nancy Pelosi was shouted off the press conference stage in

San Francisco by undocumented Dreamers Monday who demand a stand-alone bill legalizing them, not part of a bill that also builds the wall. You can understand why. They want a way out the moment North Korea can reach Oregon.

Science Daily reports the federal food assistance program that provides EBT cards for grocery shopping for the poor does not fund enough for a healthy vegetarian diet. What you decide to eat is about as personal as it gets.

I am a second-hand vegetarian in that I eat cows, and cows eat grass.

Apple announced last week the new Apple iPhone X available this November will use a facial recognition feature in order to unlock the user’s phone. Not everyone is thrilled about the idea. Facial recognition means that the Kardashians will have to buy a new iPhone after every procedure.

California lawmakers in Sacramento passed the Affordable Housing Act Friday. The reason Los Angeles doesn’t need to support President Trump is because L.A. already has a wall around it to keep illegal immigrants out. It’s called $2,000-a-month rent for a studio apartment.

The Weather Channel reported Monday that Hurricane Maria is about to arrive at Category 5 strength in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Jose. Enough hurricanes already. So many businesses on the coasts are boarded up, it’s like Obama never left office.

New 4-H member/parent meeting scheduled for Adair County GREENFIELD – A new member/parent meeting is scheduled from 9 to 11 a.m.

Saturday, Sept. 23, in the Greenfield City Hall meeting room.

This meeting is for new members (both community club members fourth-12th grades; and Clover Kids (kindergarten-third grades) and their parents and current members and parents (first or second year). The event will involve shopping in our 4-H stores. Shop for information about 4-H en-

rollment (4honline), project areas, record keeping and communication opportunities. Have fun with hands-on activities and enjoy refreshments.

Youth and their parents planning to join 4-H this year are encouraged to attend the meeting. This is an event planned to welcome youth to the Adair County 4-H program and answer questions of members and potential members.

Adair County 4-H is now accepting enrollments for

the 2017-18 project year.

All area youth in the fourth12th grades can enroll. In addition to livestock and animal projects, 4-H offers opportunities in areas such as photography, foods, woodworking and leadership. Plan to attend the new member/parent meeting for more information about how to get involved in 4-H, or contact the Adair County Extension office in Greenfield by calling 641-743-8412 or 800-ISUE399 or email wallaced@iastate.edu.

RSVP continues to serve southern Iowa communities The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of Southern Iowa was recently awarded more than $119,000 from the Corporation of National Community Services.

Southern Iowa RSVP concentrates activities on childhood and community school literacy and mathematical skills in Clarke, Decatur, Ringgold and Union Counties. RSVP, a Graceland University program, reports to Southern Iowa RSVP Director Lorrie Long who also directs the Accelerated College Education program. “Initially we concentrated our efforts on enrolling sites, called stations, for volunteer activity,� Long said. “Stations

selected include two community schools in each of the four counties where RSVP is located in addition to preschools and other community organizations like food pantries, public libraries and thrift stores.� Employed Site Coordinators (one in each of the eight communities where schools are located) identify volunteers needed at the stations and then recruit volunteers to fill the positions. RSVP provides opportunities for retired seniors or anyone 55 and older to volunteer with community organizations as little as one hour a month or as much as they like. “Volunteers of all skill

levels and interests are welcome,� Long said. “Graceland University has long had a commitment to community involvement and outreach programs,� said Kelly Everett, who is administratively responsible for these types of programs. “RSVP helps us keep in contact with an important group of individuals who have skills still in demand. We think it’s important for them to continue to be a vibrant force in the communities we serve.�  For more information about RSVP programs or to enroll as a RSVP volunteer, call Lorrie Long at 641-784-5046 or Program Assistant Nancy Hoffman at 641-784-5476.

the award first and go down until the funds run out.

What does this program do?

You need to read the Federal Register notice for the details on what is needed for an application. Make sure you start putting together

Keep In Touch

the required information at least a month before the application deadline because you may need to provide letters of commitment or support from other organizations, a work plan and budget, and other information that will take you some time to look up or write.

You may also need to fill out required forms. You can get copies of those forms from your nearest Rural Development Office.

Who can answer questions?

If you have questions, you can contact your nearest Rural Development Office.

Will I need to send any reports if I receive a grant?

If you receive a grant, you will need to send regular financial and performance reports. Your grant agreement will tell you how often you need to send the reports, what forms you need to use and what information you need to put in the reports.

Where can I get more information?

In addition to many Federal regulations, the VAPG program has a regulation that is just for this program.

It contains details about the program’s purpose, what you can and can’t do with grant money, application requirements, and information about how applications will be selected for funding.

Remember that you need to read the Federal Register notice to get all the details about how to apply, but the program regulation also has useful information that you will need before applying for a grant.

Youth beef team members recognized DES MOINES – Youth Beef Team Members award winners for 2017 were invited to receive their awards at a breakfast Saturday, Aug. 12. The event was held in the Penningroth Sale Arena in the cattle barn at the Iowa State Fair. It was a great opportunity for kids and parents to get together and celebrate their achievements. Thirty-one individuals were recognized with awards for their hard work promoting beef and educating consumers.

Youth Beef Team is open to any youth, ages 12-18, who are interested in promoting the beef industry. The goal is to equip young cattlemen and women with the information

they need to speak out positively for the beef industry.

To help them be successful, the Iowa Cattlemen’s Foundation provides training, resources and materials that they can use in their advocacy of beef. Members earn points for activities completed and at the end the year, and these youth are recognized for the points earned. Points are awarded on the activity, write-up and how many people were reached. Congratulations to the fol-

lowing youth for their excellence in promoting the beef industry: Macy Evans earning the gold level and Tyler Louden earning the bronze level.

There were 146 youth trained, and 40 who participated in 561 activities in 2017 reaching more than 250,000 people. This is a great accomplishment for these kids as they have really stepped up the number of activities and size and scope of those reached with their efforts.Â

HINTS FROM HELOISE Taco casserole takes the field

HOROSCOPE For Thursday, Sept. 21, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)Don’t challenge authority figures today, especially parents and bosses. People have intense feelings - sort of an all-or-nothing approach. Stay calm.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Don’t be pushy about ideas you have to make improvements at work. Your ideas might be good, but if you come on too strong, you will create opposition.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Avoid disputes about shared property and inheritances today, because they will be emotional and will accomplish nothing. Stay calm and be the voice of reason.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)When talking to partners and close friends, you might feel obsessed about something. Or perhaps they might feel obsessed. Either way, you might want to hide behind the barn.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You have a bee in your bonnet about something, which is why you might be a bit pushy with others today. On the upside, you can use this same energy to solve problems.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Be careful shopping today, because want something so much that you go overboard. Keep your receipts, because you might change your mind later.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today you feel sudden urges and impulses that might not be good for you in the long run. Put the brakes on so that you don’t do anything you will later regret.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)You have a strong focus on friends and groups. Be careful you don’t say or do something today that upsets others. Take it easy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A conversation with a female acquaintance might be intense today. Why not just listen to what others have to say without responding? Don’t get your belly in a rash.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Don’t go against bosses and VIPs today, because you probably will regret it later.

Everyone is on a mission and running around trying to do things. Just hide.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because they are just too touchy. Some

days, we can talk about these things -other days, not so much.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)If you have better ideas about how to approach shared property or insurance issues, be gentle in your presentation.

If you come on too strong, others will refuse to listen.

YOU BORN TODAY You are friendly, energetic and a great communicator. This is a year of building constructing and

creating solid foundations. You are fascinated by the unusual and the mysterious. You want to simplify things to channel your energy in one direction.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: You had a recipe that was a favorite with my husband and four boys, especially when they were watching a football game on TV. It was a TACO CASSEROLE that they devoured with gusto! Please reprint that for me, as I have misplaced the ingredients list. – Judy T., Long Beach, Calif.

Judy, this always has been a big hit with football fans. It is one of those “non-recipes” we all keep handy, where there is no set amount for each ingredient, and really, it can vary according to personal preference or whatever you have on hand.

Here it is: Tacos or taco chips Salsa Taco meat or leftover ground beef Beans (borracho beans work best) Cheese Sour cream Black olives Green peppers Chopped lettuce Start by greasing (or using nonstick spray) a casserole dish, and the size will depend on how much you are making.

Put a bit of salsa on the bottom, then add broken taco chips or corn chips and layer with taco meat, then beans,

cheese, peppers and more salsa. Bake until hot, then cover with sour cream, black olives and some chopped lettuce before serving. If you like easyto-make recipes that please the whole family, you’ll love my All-Time Favorite Recipes pamphlet. To get a copy, go to my website, www.Heloise.com, to order, or send a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, long envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/Recipes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. If you like to make healthy, hearty dishes for your family, you’ll enjoy having some of my favorite recipes on hand, especially when company drops in unexpectedly. – Heloise GRILLING SAFETY TIPS Dear Readers: With football season comes grilling outdoors at games, but it also can bring reminders of safety tips for grilling: * Never use a charcoal grill indoors. * Do not light charcoal with kerosene, gasoline, alcohol or other volatile fuels; an explosion could occur! * Be sure to place your grill away from dry grass and shrubs, or anything combustible. * Never add starter fluid

to hot (or even warm) coals.

Flare-ups can be very dangerous. * Use heat-resistant cooking mitts and long-handled utensils, and NO long, loose-fitting sleeves. – Heloise SHOEHORN IN THE KITCHEN Dear Heloise: I used your suggestion to use a clean shoehorn in my kitchen for lifting out muffins without tearing them, and it works like a charm. – Diana S., Idaho Falls, Idaho BLACK BANANAS Dear Heloise: I can’t eat all the bananas I have, so some of them are placed in the refrigerator, where the skin will turn black but the fruit is still good. Or I freeze them and then thaw them and use them in banana bread. Too much of our good food is tossed out. If we all would think and plan carefully, there would be much less waste in America. – Ginnie P., Lewiston, Maine DID YOU KNOW? Dear Readers: Avocados do not ripen in the refrigerator. Refrigeration will make the flesh of the avocado turn black. You can freeze pureed but not whole or cut avocados.

A Bakers double

Creston junior Brielle Baker runs by Summit Lake during her first-place race Saturday at the Panthers’ home meet off the campus of Southwestern Community College and Crestmoor Golf Club.

n Perfection

in a sense for Nodaway Valley boys at Creston meet

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

For the first time in Creston’s ‘Crowd the Course’ home meet, the Panthers had a pair of runners take first and second in their respective class.

In a surprise to few, Brielle Baker won the meet, placing tops among all participants with a time of 20:45. She outlasted a last ditch effort from Bedford’s Class 1A 15th-ranked Emma Lucas on the final, who finished in 20:49.

“We talked about going to that top hill. No one takes us. And if there’s anyone ahead of us, that’s where we take them,” Creston coach Pat Schlapia said.

Braelyn Baker finished 27 seconds back of her sister in 21:12 for third overall and second in Class A. Both Bakers bested Class 3A 22ndranked T a y lor McCreedy, who finished 3rd in Class A in 21:19.

Brae. Baker Those two, coupled with all of their varsity girls finishing in 24:11 or lower, helped Creston’s girls to improve on its fifthplace finish from a year ago to third at Tuesday’s meet. Glenwood’s girls won the Class A portion of the meet and the JV A portion.

Creston’s JV girls also took third.

Of the 15 Creston runners to compete in this year’s home meet that competed in the race a year ago, 13

improved their time.

Most impressively, Sydney Hartsock’s 24:40, 8thplace JV finish in 24:40 was 4:16 better than her time at the meet last season.

Ashton Wills meanwhile, took 80th in Class A in 22:16, and finished 2:53 better than his time at the home meet last year.

Paige Davis and her 25thplace time of 23:02 led a pack of Panther freshmen girls.

“Glenwood and Atlantic grouped better than us as a pack,” Schlapia said, noting where the girls need to get better as a group before the Hawkeye 10 meet.

Clayton Stafford’s time of 18:31 on the boys side was good for ninth in Class A. With a wicked wind whipping up over the course, Schlapia believed he saw a great deal of focus and determination to run measurably better as a team than last week’s Ballard-Huxley

CNA photo by KALEB CARTER

Creston senior Dylan Linch (left) and sophomore Ashton Wills (right) run on the back end of Monday’s race. Wills’ time of 22:16 was 2:53 better than last year’s home meet.

Linch ran the race in 23:31 after being honored as the lone Panther senior boy this season.

meet.

“This is the toughest course we’ve run this season so far and we say that with pride,” Schlapia said about the home meet. “... Our course will take it out of you physically and mentally.”

The Panthers, for the most part, responded to the course well, sending a good message on a night of celebration for the program’s seniors.

The Panthers honored four seniors before the meet.

Dylan Linch was the Creston lone boy, while Danielle Castillo, Sophia Groumoutis and injured manager Kiersten Latham were announced in front of the crowded course between Southwestern Community College and Crestmoor Golf Club.

UP NEXT — Creston will compete at Orient-Macksburg next Monday.

Wolverine perfection Nodaway Valley earned a perfect team score, achieving success right out of a dream.

Well, it was for sophomore Joshua Baudler, who told Wolverines coach Darrell Burmeister that he had a dream Monday night that he would finish second.

That he did, with a time of 17:27.2 to finish behind Brycen Wallace, who scored his first victory this season.

Wallace won the overall meet, and only Wolverine runners finished within 46 seconds of him.

Burmeister was nervous about how his runners’ legs would be after Homecoming this past weekend, but turns out he had no reason to worry, “We wanted to use this meet to establish ourselves as one of the stronger programs in southwest Iowa since we got to run against

a lot of the 2A 3A programs,” Burmeister said, as Nodaway Valley easily outperformed Glenwood, who finished first in the Class A portion.

Nodaway Valley’s girls finished fourth in the B portion as a team.

Sophia Broers and Mallory Kuhns ended their race third and fourth respectively in Class B. “Mallory ran well and Sophia Broers…they’re both coming along really well,” Burmeister said.

Burmeister also noted that state-ranked Reagan Weinheimer could be back in action soon.

Area successes Mount Ayr had perhaps its strongest team performance of the year, as the Raider(ettes), girls earned second and the boys took third.

Creston volleyball fans got brief glimpse at one of the top teams in the state Tuesday night.

It took only 50 minutes for the Kuemper Catholic Knights to finish a 25-9, 2515, 25-7 sweep of Creston to improve to 23-0 for the season and 6-0 in Hawkeye 10 Conference play.

FREEPORT, Ill — Home is where your fans are, so northern Illinois might as well have been the SWCC volleyball team’s home this past weekend as it won three straight matches for the first time in coach Aleesha Cleaver’s time as coach.

Cleaver scheduled the trip with the opportunity in mind to let the girls play in front of friends and family, and the same went for her, a Rockford, Illinois native.

Friday, the Spartans breezed by Highland Community College by scores of 25-15, 25-11, 35-21.

Jada Perkins, Hannah Ryan and Kelcie Shields combined to be a force for kills, with the trio tallying 29 with just four attack errors in the win.

Ryan, a Davis, Illinois native, was one of four Illinois natives playing close to home. Cleaver recruited a solid crew of this year’s freshman group from her old stomping grounds.

They looked more than comfortable playing in front of familiar faces.

set in 52 sets played.

With the likes of 6-3 sophomore Kara Peter, 6-2 senior Kalee Peter and 6-1 junior Aimee Adams on the front line, and skilled 5-10 junior setter Maci Overmohle, the Knights look like a college team at times with their speed and power in attacking and blocking.

Coach Keith Stickrod said his team tries to work on the finer details, even when a prohibitive favorite on a given night.

“We just want to be efficient,” Stickrod said. “Creston has some good hitters, we knew that. In that second game we got a little lazy and the girls recognized that when they came off the floor.

They said let’s step it up and be more efficient.”

Kalee Peter had seven kills in the balanced Knight attack. Adams had six kills and four blocks. Kara Peter had four blocks and five kills.

Libero Taylor Promes was active in keeping balls alive with 14 digs.

It wasn’t always smashed balls through Creston blockers for Kuemper points. The Knights were also adept at a change of pace attack to soft spots in the Panther defense.

“Our setters try to go fast,” Stickrod said, “then anything that’s off, we’re going to tip or push to the corners. That comes with a lot of practice, and talent right now. I’m a lucky coach.”

Senior Cayla Maitlen led Creston with 10 kills. Many of the Panthers were getting good strikes on the ball, only to see it returned on a block by the length of Kuemper’s Maitlen double blocks.

Creston co-coaches Mallory Peterson and Naomi Sharp said the approach in a match like that is to attend to the little details, so extra points aren’t given away.

“You tell them, ‘let’s do all of the little things’,” Sharp said. “Don’t let balls fall on serve, or let’s get into base every time on defense. Put every serve in play, because they don’t need any extra points. Our big push now is communication, to be a unified team on the court.”

Peterson told the Panthers not to worry about Kuemper’s talent, but to focus on playing at their best.

“We’re just trying to play to our potential and not hang our heads,” Peterson said.

“Yes, they’re going to put balls on the 10-foot line. Yes, they’re going over our block.

But, we still have to keep that next-point mentality and take advantage of balls when we can.”

In the first and third sets, both Creston coaches saw too many service errors and receiving miscues that made it difficult to set up a challenging attack.

The second set was a bright spot for the Panthers, who held early leads of 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2. It was still close at 7-6 before Adams and Kalee Peter triggered a stretch of dominance at the net to pull out to a 17-10 lead.

“We did some good things in that second game,” Peter-

Shields and Perkins swung with supreme confidence.

Perkins smashed a gaudy 30 kills while Shields had 20 more.

Kopplin and Porter worked together in sync as the former had 30 digs and the latter put up 56 assists.

“It was a really cool atmosphere, especially for Ashley Kopplin, I don’t think she’s played in front of her fami-

son said. “We changed our lineup to give them a different look in a 6-2 offense instead of 5-1. Saige Rice came in and did some setting and Peyton Rice served for us. Taylor Fredrickson did a nice job. When we have her on the floor she is one of our best communicators. She has great court sense. So, it was nice to have some different people get some experience in that game and show what they can do. Then we didn’t keep that sharp focus in the third game.”

UP NEXT — Creston, now 5-8 overall and 1-3 in conference play, doesn’t have any varsity action until a Sept. 26 triangular at Class 4A sixth-ranked Lewis Central with Atlantic. The same three teams are competing in JV matches Monday at Atlantic.

Creston hosts a freshman and JV tournament Saturday, with four teams entered in each bracket. Freshman matches will be at Creston Community Middle School, and JV matches will be at the high school.

Kuemper Catholic, meanwhile, could get its first serious challenges of the season.

“We’re at the Unity Christian tournament Saturday and we’ll play Sioux Center, which is ranked second in our (3A) class,” Stickrod said. “Le Mars will be there, and Sioux Falls has a really good team coming in. It should be a really good day of volleyball.”

Creston statistics Serving (aces) — Breanna Ross 7-7, MaKenna Hudson 4-4, Megan Haley 5-6, Peyton Rice 3-3, Breanna Wallce 3-5, Saige Rice 2-4, Taylor Buxton 1-1.

Attacks (kills) — Cayla Maitlen 21-28 (10), Kelsey Fields 10-11 (2), Buxton 8-9 (2), Wallace 6-8 (1), Taylor Fredrickson 5-6 (1), Megan Haley 5-10, Sam Dunphy 3-7, Saige Rice 1-1.

Blocks — Fredrickson 2, Fields 1.

Setting (assists) — Ross 10 S. Rice 5.

Digs — Hudson 7, Maitlen 6, Wallace 6, Ross 3, Haley 2.

Junior varsity Kuemper Catholic swept the junior varsity match 2519, 25-18.

Sam Dunphy was 9-10 serving with three aces and triggered a strong Panther run in the first set. Saige Rice was 7-7 with an ace and Rylie Driskell was 4-5 with one ace. Driskell and Rice split the assists with six and four, respectively. Abbi Hood and Dunphy each had three kills and Kelsey Fields added two.

“We played well against a good Kuemper offense,” Creston co-coach Mallory Peterson said. “They had some tall, hard hitters and we were able to put together some runs to stay in the match. We let the get off to a better start than us in each set. It seemed like we were playing catch-up the whole match.”

Freshmen Kuemper Catholic freshmen took two of three sets against Creston Tuesday, 2725, 25-22, 18-19 in a competitive match.

“The kids really competed against a very good Kuemper team,” Creston coach Mike McCabe said. “We got good play at the net from Ryli and Kaci Abildtrup.

Those two combined for numerous blocks. We passed pretty well out of the back row, led by Maddie Frey and Lauren Christensen.

“Our goal is to be more consistent in practice,” McCabe added. “It has to start there first.” ly,” Cleaver said.

Ryan (28 digs) and Perkins (24 digs) were workhorses throughout the evening.

Emily Williams, another Rockford native provided her biggest boost of the weekend with eight blocks in the win.

“I think this week was much-needed and I think it’s going to be a huge confidence boost,” Cleaver said.

UP NEXT — SWCC (711, 1-2) plays at Northeast Community College (10-8, 2-1) today (Wednesday).

Judy and I wish to thank all of those who sent cards, gave money gifts and gift cards, and also to those who took the time to attend the Open House to celebrate our 50th Anniversary at our church on August 27th. It was a great afternoon.

We also wish to thank those who took the time to see the 50th Anniversary display at the Iowa State Fair in Pioneer Hall. Judy was definitely surprised to see what Frank, Angie and Tiffany did to commemorate this occasion. The display won 3rd place.

We thank Roger Van Donselaar for loaning his tuxedo to be used in the display at the State Fair and at the church Open House; and to Linda Freeman for taking the beautiful pictures.

Finally, a special thanks to Angie, Billy, Katelinn, and Tiffany for planning the Open House, and to Brandon for looking down from Heaven to be sure the weather was good.

“If it were my personal preference, I would want to support a brick-and-mortar restaurant that is going to be there in perpetuity and pay taxes,” said Ward 3 Representative Gabe Carroll.

“But, I don’t think it’s our job as a city council to dictate what business we want to let run and what fee we want to give to what business. I just don’t know if that’s our place to dictate.”

Any changes to the ordinance are still required to

have a public hearing and three readings before being officially voted on and/or passed by the council.

City council will have time to discuss how it wants to put any changes in writing, but since it was just a discussion, action on the matter will take time to draw up and pass.

In other city council news: • The council voted to table the resolution regarding Mark Williams’ easement request to place a water line underneath a city parking lot for a potential use in a new business.

Council was advised to table the decision because Public Works Director Kev-

in Kruse said Williams was no longer sure he was going to open a business in that location.

“Last time I spoke with Mark, last week he wasn’t even sure if he was going to do this now,” said Kruse. “I would recommend postponing the vote, I guess, until we find out if it’s actually going to happen, for one, and two an actual route (of the water line).”

• City council unanimously approved an EMT class at Southwestern Community College for two full-time Fire department employees.

The class is a five-month program and will run $1,500 per person, but the cost won’t

be covered entirely by the Creston Fire Department.

Some financial responsibility will fall on the two taking the class as well.

“It will likely make us have to amend the budget for the fire department, I wanted to make you aware of that,” said Taylor. “I am all for the training when it’s that local.”

“They can attend a class while they are working, but when they’re off-duty we are not compensating,” said Todd Jackson, Creston’s fire chief. “Which is kind of a bonus for us – we are not paying the whole time they are in class.”

Bohling’s inducted into Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame GREENFIELD – Lynn and Elaine Bohling of Greenfield were inducted into the 2017 Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the 4-H Exhibits Building at the Iowa State Fair on Sunday, Aug. 20. One hundred twenty-one inductees were selected from 94 counties for their outstanding service and dedication to 4-H. Inductees were presented a certificate by the Iowa 4-H Foundation as they were introduced on stage and honored at a reception following the ceremony.

Every community and 4-H program needs individuals possessing the qualities of the Bohlings. They are community minded, caring individuals who see a challenge and involve themselves and others in meeting that challenge. When they volunteer to work with an activity or project, you can be sure it will be completed on schedule and with the greatest detail possible. Lynn and Elaine are positive people, seeing obstacles as simple challenges to overcome.

Elaine is extremely important to the Adair County 4-H program. She is a former 4-H club leader and member of the Youth Action Committee, helping to direct local 4-H policy, working to maintain rules and guidelines for our county fair and conducting fundraising activities to support the local 4-H program. As a parent of three very active Adair County 4-H alumni, she strives to get other youth involved in the 4-H program by including and encouraging them to participate in club and community service activities. Elaine encourages excellent qualities of record-keeping as she evaluates 4-H record books at the local level.

Lynn volunteers with the family at Living History

Farms in Des Moines, sells water for the Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Foundation, grills at Nodaway Valley High School sports events and has been active with the local Trees Forever organization.

Pictured are Lynn and Elaine Bohling of Greenfield with their family and former Adair County 4-H’ers, Natalie, Hank and DeEtta (Bohling) Lee. They were inducted into the 2017 Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame during a special ceremony at the Iowa State Fair 4-H Exhibits Building.

Lynn and Elaine model for others not only the attribute of generosity, but also the power of positive thinking and life-long learning.

Elaine believes that today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders. She encourages youth to step outside of the box, motivates them to serve their community, volunteers to guide and provide needed leadership and quickly offers praise for their endeavors.

Every county 4-H program should be fortunate to have volunteers like Lynn and Elaine Bohling who always strive to provide support and leadership for the

members who have exemplified outstanding service and dedication to the 4-H youth program in their county. Only one individual or couple per county can be nominated each year. Inductees can be recognized posthumously.

The Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame was established in 2002 as 4-H celebrated 100 years of a program dedicated to teaching youth life skills.

During those 100 years, it became evident that one of the essential elements of the 4-H program was the caring adults who were committed to the program.

environment. These adults have modeled volunteerism, community service, integrity and leadership to Iowa’s youth. Their legacy is the young people they have mentored who will in turn support the continuation of a 4-H program that builds Iowa’s leaders.

Information about 2017 inductees and previous inductees to the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame is available on the Iowa 4-H Foundation website, organized by year and by county. Go to www. iowa4hfoundation.org/en/ recognition/iowa_4h_hall_ of_fame and select “Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame.”

Each skill-a-thon team was comprised of three individuals and included five stations where youth worked together to solve problems and identify goat, swine or sheep production components. Participants identified feed samples, breeds and meat cuts while also answering questions about genetics, nutrients, quality assurance and physiology.
