bargaining units vote to keep union ties DES MOINES (AP) — Members of 13 teacher bargaining units have voted to maintain their union affiliations under Iowa’s new collective bargaining laws.

Iowa Public Employment Relations Board staff counted the votes Tuesday. The Des Moines Register reports that of the nearly 1,300 eligible voters, more than 1,100 voted to maintain their units.

The new collective bargaining laws require public-sector unions to recertify

When Karl and Jan Knock moved to Creston in 1989, they made it a priority to invest in Creston’s youth.

For all those years of investing in and building up Creston’s youth, Karl and Jan have been selected for the Creston Community High School Hall of Fame class of 2017 as distinguished contributors. The Hall of Fame induction

ceremony and homecoming coronation takes place noon Friday in the CCHS auditorium.

“I’m very deeply appreciative of the recognition,” Jan said. “We have committed ourselves to working with youth in Creston and helping to provide opportunities for youth, and I hope in doing so, young people would consider Creston a great place to grow up and consider coming back after going to college. We appreciate the recognition. We hope in some small way,

we might help other people consider making that kind of investment, also.”

“I think there are an awful lot of people in the community who have given an awful lot over the years, specifically for the kids,” Karl said. “I feel humbled and undeserving of the award.”

Karl, whose family owned Iowa State Savings Bank for 77 years, retired as chief executive officer of ISSB in February after spending 27 years with the bank. Jan is also retired

from the bank after working 13 years as director of marketing.

They are both still involved with Iowa State Savings Bank in retirement, serving on the bank’s board of directors.

Having grown up in Creston, Karl is passionate about helping the community grow and prosper.

every time they face a new contract negotiation. Previously they elections if one of their members petitioned for decertification.

Republicans say the new laws give local governments more budget flexibility and ensure that unions are held accountable to all their members. Labor leaders say the new laws are designed to reduce the number of unions and weaken their influence.

All of Iowa’s 1,200 public bargaining units will face recertification elections.

Recently, CCHS underwent a change from EAST to communications and service technology (CAST), but still employs many of the same ideas from the EAST program.

Lanny Green Dallas, Texas

Lanny Lee Green, 73, of Dallas, Texas, formerly of Creston, died Thursday, Sept. 7, 2017, at his home in Dallas, Texas.

A funeral service was held Sept. 9 at First Christian Church of Carrollton, Texas. A memorial is antici- Green pated in Creston at a future date. Online condolences may be made at www.powersfh.com.

Lanny was born March 19, 1944, to Doris J. and Delbert W. Foster in Frederick, Oklahoma, where his father was an instructor pilot in the United States Army Air Field. After the untimely death of his father, Lanny and his mother lived for a time with relatives in Kent.

His mother married again and Lanny was adopted by her husband, Donald E. Green. The family settled in Creston, where Lanny attended all 12 years of school.

As a youngster, Lanny was a Boy Scout, Des Moines Register and Tribune carrier and a participant in track events.

In high school, Lanny sang in the choir, bowled, golfed and acted in school plays. A reporter for the school paper, he was also a co-editor of the yearbook and a member of National Honor Society.

Lanny married Phyllis White on Nov. 3, 1962, in Maryville, Missouri. The couple began their family while earning Bachelor of Science degrees in English at Northwest Missouri State University. During those years, Lanny was employed

Robert Kiley Creston

Robert “Bob” Kiley, 87, of Creston died Friday, Sept.

22, 2017, at Greater Regional Hospice Home in Creston.

Celebration of life services will be 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept.

30, at the Cromwell City Park.

The Rev. Delores Doench will officiate. In case of bad Kiley weather, services will be held in the Cromwell Church basement. The family is in charge of the arrangements.

lance and assisted with the duties of that business. Following graduation in 1966, Lanny, his wife and two little girls moved to Dallas, Texas, where he enrolled in and graduated from the Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science as a licensed mortician.

While still finishing his credential in mortuary science and working in sales in Dallas, Lanny began considering a different career path.

In 1967, the family moved to Kansas City, Missouri, where Lanny took a position with the Avon Corporation.

After four years in Kansas City and the birth of a third daughter, the opportunity to work in sales in the dental industry became available in Dallas, Texas. The family returned to the Dallas area in 1971, first to Plano, and then to Carrollton. Thus began a career Lanny loved and one that allowed him to travel throughout the United States, Canada and the Far East. With a knack for remembering people, places and experiences, his work expanded his fund of knowledge and provided the material for many of the stories he loved to tell.

Lanny was a good writer.

As a boy, he left notes for his working mother – where he was going and with whom and when he would return.

He wrote long, detailed letters to his wife while working in Japan and other distant locations. He made a “to do” list at 5:30 each morning and crossed off the items in a few hours. He loved to plan and organize trips, always researching travel bargains.

Lanny loved the companionship of others. He had boisterously good times with his high school buddies.

As the “medicine man” in the Indian Princesses organization, he helped fellow fathers of the Mandan tribe win awards for best teepee July 27, 1951, in San Diego, California. To this union, daughter, Beckie, was born.

They later divorced.

After returning from the Navy, he lived in Des Moines and worked for Firestone from 1951-54. Bob purchased his farm in Union County in 1954 and began farming. He worked various jobs to support his family, grinding feed, Wellman Dynamics and driving a school bus.

On June 22, 1972, Bob married Judy Watson in Corydon.

One son, C. T. Kiley was born to this union.

Bob was a member of the American Legion, VFW and Cromwell Congregational Church. He was a trustee in Douglas Township.

Bob is survived by his wife of 45 years, Judy Kiley of Creston; children, Beckie Jolene (Charlie) Jackson of Creston

and totem pole structures.

He was often the life of the party after work with his clinician associates. The camaraderie experienced with his pheasant hunting companions in Iowa and salmon fishing guides and crews on the Pierre Marquette River in Michigan were highlights of his years.

Lanny loved to defend his opinions and held them on most any topic. He liked trying new adventures – flying airplanes, scuba diving and eating ethnic or regional food. He was thrilled to witness his children and grandchildren succeed in activities he had not tried. His grandsons always knew when grandpa was in the stands at their soccer, baseball and hockey games because his voice was the loudest and most distinct of the crowd.

While Lanny loved Dallas and watching his daughters and grandchildren grow up there, he remained loyal to the state of Iowa, always nostalgic about the quality of its corn, tomatoes, eggs, cottage cheese and hometown friends.

Lanny will be missed and remembered by his mother Doris Green of Nebraska City, Nebraska; wife Phyllis Green of Dallas, Texas; daughters, Roxanne Herman of Lake Tapawingo, Missouri, Roslyn Kauffman (Greg) of Lewisville, Texas, and Rochelle Shapard (Rob) of Plano, Texas; grandchildren, Jacob Shapard (Sarah) of West Chester, Pennsylvania, Casey Smith (Chelsea) of Cleburne, Texas, Natalie Hensley (Jacob) of Mustang, Oklahoma, Blake Smith of Lewisville, Texas, and Elizabeth and Joseph Herman of Lake Tapawingo, Missouri; as well as an aunt, cousins, friends and neighbors.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents and fathers. and C.T. (Erin) Kiley of Diagonal; grandchildren, Melissa Jackson (significant other Scott Painter) of Creston, Nicholas (Kristine) Jackson of Des Moines and Hunter Kiley and Hannah Kiley, both of Diagonal; great-grandchildren, Joel, Trevor, Morgan, Sebastian and Killian; brother Russell (Lenora) Kiley of Algona; sister Betty Foreman of Missouri; sisters-in-law, Susie Kiley of Manhattan, Kansas, and Rose Kiley of Wesley; niece Lisa Creighton of Creston; nephew Dan Creighton of Grimes; many other nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Larry and Charles Kiley; brother-inlaw Donald Foreman; mother-in-law Viola Mae Watson and father-in-law James Watson.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, September 27, 2017

I’m back and spreading awareness Hello! I bet you thought you all were rid of me by now, but that ain’t the case. I’m planning on being here once a month to continue with something I’ve always enjoyed, writing, but I’m hoping to pass along some interesting medical tidbits while I’m here.

First, I want to let you all know I really enjoy my new position as an EMT in Lenox. In the past few weeks I’ve made new friends, learned from old ones and discovered how much this decision was best for me.

Second, I want to spread a little awareness with my column. There are so many medical conditions people suffer from, and different

Girl on fire Bailey Poolman staff writer situations that lead to trauma that I think we should all be a little more aware of what’s going on in the world.

Now that September is nearly over, the temperature outside is dropping, we’re all turning off our air conditioners and even the past few days shows how soggy it can get outside. Add on various boosts in workload, extra athletic work-

outs outside and overall stress and your immune system can dip significantly, leading to influenza.

Influenza, or the flu, kills approximately 36,000 people each year, according to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Now, this may not seem like a significant number when compared to the amount of people living in the United States,

but the flu is a preventable illness.

I’m not saying get a flu shot, but I do think it’s something to consider if you believe you or someone you’re close to is susceptible to it.

Just keep in mind, the flu shot is made for a specific strain or more of the flu. But, really, there are other things that can help prevent death by flu, according to the CDC. First, if you suspect the flu, get checked within the first week. The flu tests used in urgent care or emergency settings may not work after the first week. Or, some tests may give false negatives.

Second, wash your hands. There is no other better way to prevent

the spread of germs than to wash your hands. Always wash with hot water and soap, cleansing even the tips of your fingers. But, if soap and water are unavailable, be sure to use an alcohol-based sanitizer.

Third, stay home when you’re sick. By staying home and staying away from others, you can infinitely decrease the amount of germs you spread. This is especially important for those with dipping immune systems, such as the elderly.

Everyone, please keep an eye out and take care of yourselves.

You are the best judge for your own body; if you don’t feel like your usual self, care for your body.

Trump targets athletes HOLLYWOOD--God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The White House reminded reporters Monday that President Trump can point to three major successes he has accomplished without Congress this year. The stock market is at an all-time high, unemployment is at a sixteen-year low, and everyone is finally talking about NFL football again.

The Los Angeles Chargers drew an embarrassingly low number of fans to their game Sunday in Carson. It’s even worse at the Rams home games. At the L.A. stadiums, instead of announcing the attendance at the Rams and Chargers games they thank the attendees by name over the PA system.

President Trump stood by his criticism of NFL players who refuse to stand up for the National Anthem before games and kneel instead.

It just shows you how presidents are different. President Obama would have backed Clinton the players and Bill Clinton never complained about anyone taking a knee.

NASCAR owners and drivers stated Sunday they’ll stand for the singing of the Star Spangled Banner before NASCAR races along with their racing fans at the stadium. Now THAT’S good sportsmanship. It’s not the song they’d rather be singing, but the North won the war fair and square.

The New York Post pointed out the NFL rulebook states players must stand at attention during the National Anthem with

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

their helmet in their left hand and not talk. The league enforces every rule except this one. Tom Brady accused Commissioner Roger Goodell of working with deflated balls.

President Trump canceled his invitation to the Golden State Warriors Thursday after Stephen Cur- Curry ry ripped him.

Over the weekend, North Carolina’s NCAA championship team canceled their trip there. Perhaps the best way to keep terrorists out of the U.S. is by inviting them to the White House.

President Trump’s travel ban on terror-ridden countries was put on the Supreme Court docket next month. Ironically, a Conde Nast survey shows Muslims are the immigrant group most happy with their lives in the U.S. It’s probably because Trump’s travel ban keeps their relatives from visiting.

President Trump added North Korea to the travel ban list of countries Monday which will stop anybody from entering the U.S. from North Korea. It’s a good move.

This way, any North Korean nuclear missiles they shoot at us that we miss shooting Trump

down can be turned away by the Border Patrol.

North Korea’s Foreign minister told the UN that Trump’s tweet on Friday vowing to get rid of Kim Jung Un is an act of war. Kim counter-tweeted that Trump is a dangerous deranged dotard. If the newspaper was the evolution of the town crier, then Twitter is the evolution of the town drunk.

The CDC cited a world survey showing Americans work longer hours than people in any other country. On top of that, a UC Berkeley study says that lack of sleep has reached catastrophic levels in the United States. So it’s really nice to see Congress finally showing leadership on something.

Anthony Weiner was sentenced to twenty-one months in prison Monday for lewd texting with a minor. He will still be giving his views on the news of the day. Shortly after he entered prison, Anthony Weiner weighed in on the National Anthem debate, and insisted on standing in the shower.

Melania Trump worked in the White House vegetable garden Friday. She’d like to wean her husband off all the fast food he prefers. How can the NFL call Trump a white supremacist when the Trump Diet alone would kill more white people than Ulysses S. Grant and O.J. Simpson combined.

Democratic former Senator David Boren will retire as president of the University of Oklahoma after two dozen stellar years.

He fostered a happy campus atmosphere. Last week the University of California canceled its annual Free Speech Week, but university officials aren’t allowed to say why.

4-H records due Oct. 2 in Adair County GREENFIELD – Record keeping is one of the experiences unique to the 4-H program. Throughout the year members are encouraged to set goals and record their progress using 4-H record forms. 4-H records also allow youth to keep track of their accomplishments in the areas of leadership, citizenship and communication.

There are many reasons to keep a record book. Records, as a source of memories, often come to the top of the list when 4-H alumni reflect on their record keeping experiences. They are also quick to point out the value of learning the discipline of

record keeping that has allowed them to feel at ease in maintaining everything from financial to personal records as adults.

A solid record book also provides much of the information needed by youth when they prepare to apply for college scholarships and jobs. In addition, the members look forward to the recognition that comes with completing a record book. Adair County 4-H’ers completing record books are eligible for special cash awards and honors. 4-H’ers are encouraged to contact the Adair County Extension Office with questions or for

advice in completing their record book.

All record books are due at the Adair County Extension office by 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 2.

4-H’ers can also earn recognition for volunteer service by submitting community service logs by Oct. 2. The log must include the type of community service activity, dates of service and hours volunteered.

All youth completing records will be recognized at the annual 4-H awards event planned for 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 5, at the Warren Cultural Center in Greenfield.

Low interest emergency physical loss loans available DES MOINES – U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Acting Administrator Steven J. Peterson announced Sept. 21 that physical loss loans are available for 10 counties in Iowa, due to four separate disaster events. Farm operators who have suffered major physical losses caused by excessive rain, flash flooding, flooding, hail, high winds, lighting and tornadoes that occurred from June 22 through Aug. 18 may be eligible for emergency loans.

For the June 28 disaster event, an Administrator’s Physical Loss Notification has been issued for Fremont, Jones, Linn, Marion, Page and Taylor counties as the primary damaged area.

Additionally, 20 Iowa

counties are contiguous to this designated disaster area, making these producers also potentially eligible for programs based on this designation. The contiguous counties are: Adams, Benton, Buchanan, Cedar, Clinton, Delaware, Dubuque, Iowa, Jackson, Jasper, Johnson, Lucas, Mahaska, Mills, Monroe, Montgomery, Polk, Ringgold, Union and Warren.

FSA’s low interest emergency loans may be made available to any applicant with a qualifying loss in the counties named above. Approval is limited to applicants who suffered severe physical losses only.

Physical loss loans may be made to eligible farmers and ranchers to repair or replace damaged or destroyed physical property essential

to the success of the agriculture operation, including livestock losses. Examples of property commonly affected include essential farm buildings, fixtures to real estate, equipment, livestock, perennial crops, fruit and nut bearing trees, and harvested or stored crops and hay.

Producers in eligible counties have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for loans for physical losses.

Please contact FSA for more information on loan eligibility and the application process. FSA office information is available at http://offices.usda.gov. Additional FSA disaster assistance program information is available at http://disaster.fsa.usda.gov.

Adair County 4-H livestock exhibitors have great showing at state fair GREENFIELD – Adair County 4-H’er Joe Herr, son of Clel and Lori Herr of Fontanelle, gave an awesome showing at the 2017 Iowa State Fair with his crossbred market steer capturing the reserve grand champion 4-H market beef title. Herr’s steer was chosen division II champion crossbred steer and came back to take the reserve grand champion 4-H market beef title. Herr also received a purple rating and stood second in his class with his Chianina steer.

Tucker (Sloth) Rohrig, member of Orient Bulldogs 4-H Club, also made an outstanding appearance at his first time showing as an Adair County 4-H’er at the Iowa State Fair. Rohrig started the week by teaming up with two Plymouth County 4-H’ers to win grand champion in the swine skill-a-thon. He earned a purple and was in the top three of his showmanship class. He did equally well with his pigs in the show ring by standing first in his class of lightweight division commercial breeding gilts; and fifth and seventh place with two additional commercial breeding gilts.

Rohrig is the son of Matt

and Heidi Rohrig of Orient.

corn-soybean rotation.

Cost-share participants are also encouraged to join in a monthly shared learning phone call, hosted by PFI, where fellow farmers or industry representatives discuss some aspect of small grains production or marketing. Half of the call time is reserved for farmers to ask questions and discuss challenges and successes with each other.

Additional education on growing small grains will be available at small grains-focused conferences, organized by Practical Farmers, planned for 2018 and 2019.

In August 2017, a small grains conference was held in Ames. Future conferences will be held in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Results of PFI’s analysis of farmer data and announcements about upcoming small grains events will be available at practicalfarmers.org.

Practical Farmers’ small grains cost-share program, shared learning calls and small-grains conferences are made possible by funding from national and state Natural Resources Conservation Service Innovation Grants.

grains crop and harvest it for grain, and they also commit to planting a summer cover crop. When that summer crop is planted, however, is flexible. Participants may elect to seed a legume like clover or alfalfa at the same time the small-grain crop is planted, or they may opt to plant a diverse cover crop mix after the small-grain harvest.

Participants also agree to fill out two surveys, the first in August, after small-grain harvest, where farmers will enter their small grains production details and cost data, and the second survey in the next calendar year, where they will share their production and cost data for the crop that followed the small-grain in the rotation.

With this data, Practical Farmers of Iowa will assess the environmental effects of the extended rotation system and create partial budgets for various small grains crops based on their destination market. The ultimate goal is to supply farmers with financial data that will help with decision-making, and provide companies that buy small grains with an estimate of the environmental benefits created by including small grains in a

Small grains cost-share dollars of the are now available for farmers AMES – Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI) is seeking to enroll row crop farmers in Iowa, Minnesota or Wisconsin in a small grains cost-share program that runs for up to two years.

The program is intended to support conventional farmers or those transitioning to organic who add a year of crops like barley, oats, rye, triticale or wheat followed by a summer cover crop or planted with a legume cover crop like red clover.

Participants are eligible to receive $40 per acre in costshare on up to 80 acres for conventionally raised small grains or acres that are in transition to organic but not yet certified. Organic small grains are not eligible for the cost-share, nor are acres receiving cost-share for extended rotation practices through the Conservation Stewardship Program or Environmental Quality Incentives Program (Practice 328 or 340).

In 2018, Practical Farmers will cost-share a total of 1,325 acres. Participants will be accepted on a rolling basis until that cap is reached.

Any small grains harvested for grain in summer 2018, including winter small grains crops such as winter wheat or cereal rye, and spring-planted small grains like oats or barley, are eligible for the program.

For more information about the cost-share program, or to submit a request to enroll your acres, visit practicalfarmers.org/smallgrains-cornbelt.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I like fruit and vegetables, but I have a hard time telling WHEN THEY’RE RIPE. And after they’re ripe, I try to eat them, but I end up tossing out overripe fruit when I can’t get around to eating them. How do I tell if an avocado is ripe, or berries or bananas? – Logan M., Paterson, N.J. Great question, Logan!

Here are some hints: * Avocados: Press the stem end, and if it’s soft to the touch, it’s ripe. Store ripe avocados in the refrigerator, but never unripe ones. * Berries: They are best if eaten right after they’re picked, and they should be refrigerated unless eaten.

Wash berries in a colander, but never let them soak. * Bananas: They will show the very beginning of tiny brown spots when ripe. Store in the refrigerator after that.

The skin will turn black, but the fruit is still good. – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com

HARD-BOILED IDEA Dear Heloise: I’m setting up my own place right now, and to tell hard-boiled eggs from the uncooked ones, I take a felt-tipped pen and mark the hard-boiled eggs with a “B.” My mother taught me this trick! – Phil W., Casper, Wyo. FRIDAY NIGHT LEFTOVERS Dear Heloise: We’re a family of nine and always have leftovers. On Friday nights, I serve leftovers, smorgasbord-style, to save time and clean out the refrigerator. – Lois D., Sandy City, Utah ‘EMERGENCY’ FOODS Dear Heloise: My four sons often bring their friends over after school or practice, and as you might have guessed, they’re always hungry. English muffins have become my best friend because of the versatility they offer. I can top them with cream cheese, chutney and peanuts, or almond slices. A slice of tomato and cheese, and a few seconds under the broiler, also is a tasty treat. – Claire W., Southfield, Mich.

Claire, these are terrific suggestions. Do any of my other readers have “emer-

SUDOKU

gency food ideas”? – Heloise BURNED-ON COFFEE Dear Heloise: Sometimes people will burn a glass coffeepot with just a little leftover coffee. It’s stuck at the bottom and is hard to clean – unless you do this: Take about six to eight ice cubes and about 2 to 3 tablespoons of salt and put them in the coffeepot. Hold the pot by the handle and start swirling the salt/ice cubes in a circular motion, so that they spin around the inside.

The burned-on coffee will be gone in a couple of minutes.

Just rinse out the pot, and you’re done. – Joseph E., Dayton, Ohio EGG PLATE FATE Dear Heloise: I have turned my pretty glass deviled-egg plate into a fruit plate. First, I put a large strawberry where the eggs normally go. Next, I arrange a circle of either melon or mango slices, and then in the center I put either plums or grapes.

I also can sprinkle blueberries on it. I take this to potlucks and get lots of compliments. – Mary C., Godfrey, Ill. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

College basketball takes a big hit with arrests

By JOHN MARSHALL

TUCSON, Ariz.

(AP) — University of Arizona assistant basketball coach Emanuel Richardson entered the federal court wearing the same clothes he was arrested in earlier in the day, there to face charges of accepting bribes and paying at least one recruit to attend the school.

Across the country, nine other people, including three more assistant coaches, were arrested after a federal probe revealed hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to influence star athletes’ choice of schools, shoe sponsors, agents, even tailors.

The arrests will have an immediate — and potentially long-lasting — impact on the programs involved. As the tentacles of the probe reach deeper into college basketball, more schools could come into the crosshairs and the black eye on the sport could darken.

“The picture of college basketball painted by the charges is not a pretty one,” acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim said.

Richardson, along with fellow assistant coaches Chuck Person of Auburn, Southern California’s Tony Bland and Oklahoma State’s Lamont Evans were all suspended after charges against them were announced.

James Gatto, director of global sports marketing for basketball at Adidas, Rashan Michel, a maker of custom suits for some of the NBA’s biggest stars, and various financial advisers and managers also were charged.

Federal prosecutors said at least three top high school recruits were promised payments of as much as $150,000, using money supplied by Adidas, to attend two universities sponsored by the athletic shoe company. Court papers didn’t name the schools but contained enough details to identify them as Louisville and Miami.

Louisville is already under NCAA probation over a sex scandal after an investigation into a Cardinals staffer hiring escorts for sex parties and to strip for recruits and players. The NCAA said Louisville must vacate up to 123 victories earned with ineligible players and suspended Louisville coach Rick Pitino five games for failing to monitor staffer Andre McGee. Pitino also had to testify in 2010 in a federal extortion trial for the wife of the school’s equipment manager, when he acknowledged under oath to having an extramarital affair with CBB | 7A

COUNCIL BLUFFS — Creston moved into an eighth-place tie with Harlan in Hawkeye 10 Conference volleyball Tuesday night with a split in triangular action hosted by Lewis Central.

Both Harlan, a 3-1 loser to Red Oak Tuesday, and Creston are now 2-4 in league play after the Panthers lost to the Class 4A sixth-ranked Titans before sweeping Atlantic.

Lewis Central defeated the Panthers 25-11, 25-10, 25-17 to open the night’s action. The Titans improved to 4-1 in league play and 20-4 overall.

“LC runs a really good middle game,” Creston cocoach Mallory Peterson said. “They are just as good as Kuemper in some ways.

They are very athletic and tall. We didn’t play terrible.

We were in that third set.

There was some back and forth. It’s just hard to match them at the middle.”

The Panthers were strong from the start in sweeping Atlantic. The key, Peterson said, was better ball distribution. Senior Breanna Wallace had a team-high 11 kills in that match, with Cayla Maitlen pitching in eight and freshman Kelsey Fields providing six.

“We were doing a better job mixing the ball up,” Peterson said. “Against LC we were going to Maitlen a lot,

and they got their blocks up against us. We did better when we mixed up the offense a little bit. It was nice to get the win in three (sets) and build some confidence.”

Creston, now 6-9 overall, had the services of setter Breanna Ross, after that was in doubt when she suffered a concussion in practice last week.

“We weren’t sure we were going to have her,” Peterson said. “She got cleared today before we left.”

Peterson and co-coach Naomi Sharp tweaked the lineup a bit, installing Wallace into the middle more than in the past with freshman Samantha Dunphy sharing the right side position with Taylor Buxton.

Mount Ayr sweeps Nodaway Valley on senior night n Raiderettes

take charge; Klommhaus and Johnson lead the way

By CARTER ECKL CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD – Nodaway Valley faced a tough test against Mount Ayr for the Wolverines senior night Tuesday falling in straight sets 25-20, 25-19, 25-7.

The Wolverines tallied

two big runs in each of the first two sets that set the Raiderettes up with sizeable margins. In both the first two sets Nodaway Valley was able to claw its way back into the competition.

The first set the Wolverines faced a 16-8 deficit before reeling off 12 of the next 18 points. Sadie Marnin and Jodi Baudler combined for 13 kills in the first set alone.

Trailing 21-20, Nodaway Valley couldn’t hold off Mount Ayr any longer as the Raiderettes pieced to-

Megan Haley played opposite hitters.

“There was one rotation where we had Wallace, Fields and Dunphy in the front row and that’s good for us block- Wallace ing-wise,” Peterson said. “Against Atlantic we had 10 blocks, and we haven’t done that in very many matches.”

Serving was also a strength of the Panthers Tuesday night. Haley went 12 of 12 with two aces against Atlantic. Wallace went on several good runs, going 10-10 with an ace against Lewis Central and

13-14 against Atlantic with three aces.

“Against LC we only missed two serves,” Peterson said. “Against Atlantic I had them serving a little more aggressively, but still we missed only four.”

Receiving serve for accurate passing stood out Tuesday for the Panthers.

“Our serve receive was the best it has been all season, and that’s been a focus for us,” Peterson said. “We passed well tonight. We had some good digs off some hard hits when we weren’t able to get a touch on the block.”

Cardinals deny Cubs from clinching

BY NATE LATSCH AP Sports Writer

ST. LOUIS — The Chicago Cubs went into Tuesday night’s game against St. Louis with a chance to clinch the NL Central. The Cardinals did everything they could to keep that from happening.

The Cardinals hit four home runs and were able to withstand a late Cubs’ rally for an 8-7 victory.

“I thought they did a real nice job putting the pressure on early and keeping it going,” Cardinals manager

Mike Matheny said. “That’s the team we’ve got — they are going to keep coming.

You might see a day like we had yesterday, not many of them, but we came back out and we needed everything we had today and they left it all out there.”

T o m - Pham my Pham and Randal Grichuk homered and drove in two runs each and

Matt Carpenter and Jedd Gyorko also homered for St. Louis, which remains 2 1/2 games behind the second Wild Card spot.

Zach Duke (1-1) got the win with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief. Juan Nicasio earned his fifth save.

The Cardinals scored five runs in the first two innings off Cubs ace Jake Arrieta, a scoring burst started by Carpenter’s lead-off home run, his 23rd, and capped by Pham’s two-run homer, his 23rd.

“You can certainly just show up today flat and roll

ORIENT — The Orient-Macksburg Bulldogs treated their home fans to their second victory of the season in a conference triangular Tuesday.

It was a frustrating start to the night for the Bulldogs, now 2-8 overall, after letting a 19-13 lead slip away in a 28-26 loss in the opening set against Melcher-Dallas (28).

But the Bulldogs then showed the ability to finish in consecutive sets, 25-22 and 16-14.

“We have been talking over and just let them have their way with you but when you come out like we did, boom, 5-1 and send a message like ‘Hey we’re not just going to give this to you,’” Carpenter said. “That being said you have to credit to them. They never quit either. It was a grind and certainly they’re going to fight to the end.”

The Cubs were seeking to clinch the Central Division with either a win or a Milwaukee loss against Cincinnati, but the Brewers beat the Reds 7-6.

“I loved the comeback,

about how volleyball is such a game of momentum,” O-M assistant coach Teresa Thompson said. “We have been in a lot more close games this year, and we talked about how important it is to move on from a lost point and try to get it going again.”

In the second set against Melcher-Dallas, Orient-Macksburg again reached the 19th point with a lead (19-15), and withstood the Saints’ charge to tie it at 19-19. Unlike the previous set, the Bulldogs came up with winning points at clutch time.

Senior Brooklyn Sammons set the ball over the net in a deceptive move to pick up her own service point at 23-21. Libero Kaela Eslinger used her jump BULLDOGS | 8A

I loved the energy,” Cubs manager Joe Madden said.

“Jake had a tough night. We continued to battle all the way through. . There were a lot of positives.”

Cardinals right-hander Carlos Martinez allowed three runs (two earned) and four hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Arrieta (14-10) allowed five runs (three earned) and six hits in three innings, his second shortest outing this season.

serve to record the final two points in the 25-22 triumph.

In the third set to 15 points, where a good start is so essential, the Bulldogs bolted to an 8-2 lead. At the end of that stretch, Sammons set up a kill down the middle by Montana Holtry and Eslinger served a deep ace.

Melcher-Dallas came roaring back to nudge in front, 1311. Sammons made an athletic save on a hard-hit ball on the point that stopped the run, and freshman Jody Ott delivered an ace serve for the Bulldogs. Holtry’s kill then made it 14-13.

The Saints tied it one more time at 14-14 before the Bulldogs finished it off. Eslinger set for a Holtry kill to the back line, and Sammons’ tip to an open spot sealed it on Caitlyn Buckman’s service point.

Pulling together Head coach Katie Geidel said her team, which picked up its first victory last week against Moulton-Udell, seems to have pulled together more as a unit. She saw that down the stretch against Melcher-Dallas. “It was so nice to see,�

Geidel said. “I feel like all of those pieces are there, it’s just getting them to come together. We told them afterward tonight that we saw a lot of personal accomplishments.

Things we had been working on as individuals.�

Although statistics weren’t available at press time, one of those examples was a stronger presence at the net by the 5-11 Buckman. She provided three stuff blocks and more attacks than many previous matches, Geidel noted. “I also thought Montana Holtry, our libero Kaela Es-

Ankeny Christian Academy (8-10) then started the first of two sweeps on the night, defeating Melcher-Dallas 25-19, 25-17.

Orient-Macksburg went on a big run behind Jody Ott’s five-point service string after forcing a sideout. Holtry hit two straight balls to open spots in the Eagles’ court and Buckman perfectly timed a stuff block.

That prompted ACA coach Kelly Appell to call a timeout, with her team’s lead down to 23-18.

The Cubs had the tying run on second base with two outs in the ninth but Nicassio struck out Javier Baez to secure the victory.

He’s expected to rest 48 hours, as part of the concussion protocol, and will then be reevaluated. “I’ve been hit in the head many times but not twice in a row like last night,� Molina said. “Last night was pretty bad. I was in pain. I was confused. The nausea went away. I’m resting for two days then we are going to test it again.�

In the second set, Nodaway Valley faced another 16-8 hill to climb early. Again the Wolverines closed the gap, but couldn’t pull themselves out of the early hole falling 25-19. “We weren’t exactly on our toes ready to play,� said Wolverine coach Allison Kiburz. “We definitely came out a little flat. Like I told them, if they would have had the right mentality in the right spot I think that we could have easily taken a set or two.�

At 3-3, Mount Ayr registered 15 of the next 16 points catapulting out to an 18-4 lead.

Alyssa Johnson served for the main stretch of that run, placing 11 consecutive serves on the Wolverine side of the next. Johnson finished a perfect 19 of 19 from behind the line. Johnson also led the Raiderettes in passing with 17 assists accompanied by 13 digs. Hayley Whittington found herself all over the stat sheet as well with eight digs, six kills, four blocks and three aces.

her in a Louisville restaurant.

Pitino is not named in the federal documents, though the school acknowledged it is under investigation by the FBI. “These allegations come as a complete shock to me.

If true, I agree with the U.S. Attorney’s Office that these third-party schemes, initiated by a few bad actors, operated to commit a fraud on the impacted universities and their basketball programs, including the University of Louisville,� Pitino said in a statement. “Our fans and supporters deserve better and I am committed to taking whatever steps are needed to ensure those re-

sponsible are held accountable.�

But, as the leader of the program, Pitino could end up taking the blame if the allegations prove to be true.

The NCAA could also give Louisville the death penalty, grounding the basketball powerhouse.

Auburn coach Bruce Pearl could face similar heat.

He coached at Tennessee from 2005-11 before being fired and hit with a threeyear show-cause penalty by the NCAA for lying to investigators about recruiting violations. Pearl was given a second chance at Auburn, but another scandal could spell trouble for him if the allegations are proven true.

Regardless of whether the federal probe leads all the way to the top, the programs could take a hit — and not

just from the NCAA. With the prospect of an NCAA investigation on the horizon, top recruits may stay away. Current players in the programs could be declared ineligible if the probe finds they accepted money from an agent or an assistant coach.

Arizona coach Sean Miller has one of the top recruiting classes for 2018, and the Wildcats have been projected to be a top-10 team this season. Andy Enfield has a strong incoming recruiting class at Southern California and has a potential top-10 team this season.

The trajectory of the two Pac-12 programs could be

altered as the probe deepens.

And the initial charges could be just the tip of the iceberg. More programs and coaches could be entangled as the FBI digs deeper, and schools where the arrested coaches previously worked could face scrutiny.

The FBI and U.S. attorneys have the reach and the power to expand the investigation. It has also set up a tip line and encouraged anyone with information on the case to come forward.

This is far from over, and the implications could last for years.

The mess is the best: Cooking with family creates lifelong memories The Sauce molive Ultra Strength dish or maybe even at each oth- “Messipes” and cleanup tips, visit www.facebook.

Ingredients: liquid. Let the kids squirt er!

For more kid-friendly com/palmolive.

1 tablespoon olive oil the bottle over the mess ...

1/2 pound ground pork 1/2 pound ground veal or beef 4 ounces diced pancetta salt and black pepper 1/2 cup red wine (something you would drink) 3 small to medium cloves of garlic BROWNIES 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley 1 teaspoon dried basil Need to give a change to your brownie recipe? Here are a couple easy recipes to try: one with chocolate chip cookies baked 1 box or can (26 ounces) within and the other with peanut butter cups with a fudge ganache frosting. Smakelijk eten! tomato sauce 1 box linguine

what’s cookin’ in

Instructions: 1. Start off with a clean slate. Ask the kids to quickly help empty the dishwasher and sink to de-clutter the kitchen. Before you start cooking, have the kids guess how long they think the “Messipe” cleanup will take and time it. The winner gets to try the first bite!

2. In a medium soup pot, heat the oil over medium low heat.

3. Add your diced pancetta to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.

4. “Messipe” moment: Roll up your sleeves, it’s time to get messy! In a bowl, take turns mixing the veal and pork with washed, clean hands. Add your salt and pepper, then add to the pan, browning the meat with the pancetta. Stir occasionally, with a wooden spoon, for about 8 minutes, breaking the meat up as you go.

5. Increase the heat to medium and add the wine, simmering until it reduces by half.

6. Add the garlic, parsley, basil and tomato sauce.

Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 30 minutes.

7. Cover and cook for 15 minutes more (aka walk away till it’s done). Take turns tasting for salt and pepper and serve hot. “I like to pair the sauce with linguine pasta - and it’s also my kids’ favorite,” Prinze says.

8. Cleanup tip: If sauce spills, quickly drop some flour on the spill to stop the spill from spreading. This way, you can keep cooking and not worry about cleaning up the mess right away.

When you’re ready, fill a spray bottle with warm water and a few drops of Pal-

ULTIMATE PEANUT BUTTER CUP BROWNIES For The Brownies 1 brownie mix (for a 9x9 inch pan), plus ingredients to make brownies 30 miniature peanut butter cups For The Ganache 6 oz. chopped chocolate or chocolate chips 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream 2 Tbsp. peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Unwrap the peanut butter cups and press them gently into the batter. Cover evenly with the remaining batter. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until brownies are firm. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Meanwhile, make placing the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Heat the cream over medium-low heat until bubbles just start to form around the edges. Do not let the cream boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let stand for 2 minutes.

Whisk the chocolate and cream until shiny and smooth. Whisk in the peanut butter. Let the ganache cool until it is thick but still pourable. Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies and spread to the edges of the pan. When ganache is set, cut the brownies into squares and serve.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES FILLED BROWNIES 3/4 cup sugar 6 Tbsp. all-purpose flour 3 Tbsp. semisweet chocolate chips 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 2 large eggs 1/4 tsp. salt 1 tsp. vanilla 8 or 9 chocolate chip cookies 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Preheat oven to 350°. Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with parchment paper. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder, keep aside. In a microwavable bowl, add the butter and chocolate chips, melt and mix then add the sugar and mix until combined. To the sugar and butter mixture, add the eggs and the vanilla, beat well. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined. Do not over mix. Pour half the brownie batter into the baking pan, line the cookies on top of the batter. Pour the rest of brownies batter on top of the cookies, the batter will be thick so use a spatula to spread evenly. Bake on the middle rack for 26 29 minutes. Place the baking pan on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. Using the edges of the parchment paper, remove the brownie from the baking pan and place on cooling rack to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least an hour, this will make it easier to cut the brownies later. what’s cookin’ in kyp’s kitchen sponsored by:

(BPT) – Preparing a family dinner doesn’t have to be a solo chore when there are helping hands nearby.

Getting the kids involved in the kitchen not only teaches them valuable lessons, but it’s also an opportunity to create fun family memories with a few spills and messes along the way.

“The dinner table is a great place for sharing the day’s events, but it’s in the kitchen where family memories are made,” says actor, dad and cookbook author Freddie Prinze Jr. “Some of the best moments with my kids are when we roll up our sleeves and get messy while making our favorite recipes.”

There is no doubt that splatters, splashes and spills are a mess, but these messy moments can lead to laughter and unforgettable memories. To encourage families to make time for fun in the kitchen, Prinze Jr. has created a series of “Messipes,” kid-friendly messy recipes that are tasty, simple to prepare, with handy cleanup tips along the way.

“One thing I’ve learned from cooking with my kids is to appreciate the time spent together and not worry about the mess,” he says. “Of course, the cleanup has to happen at some point, so I like to add a few cleaning steps to encourage my kids to help while we’re in the kitchen.”

A trick he uses is to ask the kids to fill a large bowl with warm water and a few drops of dish liquid, such as Palmolive Ultra Strength, to quickly cut through the grease. Then, the kids help by collecting the used dishes and place them in the bowl to make cleanup easier.

The first step to family fun in the kitchen is selecting the “Messipe.” One of Prinze Jr.’s favorite “Messipes” is: The Sauce. This tasty tomato-based sauce has enough steps and ingredients to get the whole family involved, yet it is also easy to make and delicious.

“Between the prep, taste tests, stirring and adding the Parmesan cheese at the end, the whole family works together,” he says.

“This time spent with family is just as good as the meals we make.”

KNOCK: CONT. FROM | 2A

the RAGBRAI mural painted by Jordan Weber on the Whiteway Dairy Building and the various student art installations on the Whitewall Dairy Building in uptown Creston.

“I feel like somebody who has had a lifetime of privilege,” Karl said. “He who has a lot of privileges has a lot of reason to give back.

To whom much is g i v e n , much is K. Knock expected.

It’s appropriate to try to build the community, make it better for people now and the future. It’s really the reason we came back to Creston. The little we were able to do felt fulfilling. I just wish we could have done it more. ... For me, life is about making things better for someone other than yourself.”

Karl and Jan were also involved in various teacher education and training opportunities, from sponsoring Character Counts to providing scholarships for high school teachers to receive financial education courses.

Just as important to Karl and Jan were the relationships they developed with the students who they helped by providing various opportunities.

Jan used to work closely with the Creston High School diversity team.

Just a few days ago, she ran into one of the students she worked with on the diversity team during the 1990s.

“He was a key student leader. I ran into him in Des Moines and we immediately hugged each other, because there’s a relationship there,” Jan said. “That’s what it is for me, doing good toward building relationships. It’s not the money as much as it J. Knock is building relationships, giving people a helping hand when they need it most, giving the kids a spark of opportunity and letting them know people in the community are interested in them. It’s those relationships we really treasure.”

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, September 27, 2017

Community improvement For Karl, it was critical to include Creston’s youth in community decision-making processes in order for the community to thrive and improve.

He felt the more the youth had the opportunity to participate in the life of the community as youth, the better they would feel about the community when they eventually leave for college or for jobs.

“There may be some who are then inspired to say, ‘Creston was good to me growing up and I had a chance to work on the McKinley Park project, in cleaning up Hurley Creek, in planning for the skate park, and I think I could do that as an adult. It’d be a good place for me to raise my family,’” Karl said. “We had that in mind, too.”

Discovering the potential of youth in Creston was also key to their growth.

“Some people think of youth as get the kids and they’ll clean up the trash.

There’s so much more potential there,” Jan said. “The technology with the EAST program, they were the ones with the expertise on community projects. It was helping grow the community right then and there. That’s been important to us. All those efforts are ongoing every day in the school.

“It really is sometimes helpful for someone outside of the school system to witness that and recognize that and say, ‘What can we do to make it a little bit better?’

That’s what we tried. It’s very nice to be recognized for it, but it’s humbling knowing how many people give to Creston.”

Karl said one of the biggest things he and Jan tried to do in Creston was make it a better place for people to live in than it would have been if they had not returned to Creston.

In fact, some of the accomplishments Karl is most proud of during his career with ISSB bettered the community.

“I’m very proud of some of the things we were able to do in the community,” Karl said.

“Whatever I’ve done here, I couldn’t have done without Jan. As many people know, Jan’s involvement in the community has been significant.

She’s been a wonderful partner in this time we’ve been in my hometown, not hers. And, she’s probably better known to people in the community and certainly more liked by people in the community.”

care may spread. Bipartisan talks on legislation to stabilize shaky insurance markets are on again, but time is short and there’s no guarantee of success.

Congress also has yet to renew funding for programs that traditionally enjoy broad support, such as children’s health insurance and community health centers, despite approaching deadlines.

Feelings were raw Tuesday after Senate GOP leaders announced they would not take their latest “repeal and replace” bill to the floor for lack of support. Some lawmakers said it’s still possible to bridge the partisan gap on a limited set of priority issues.

Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., said he would resume efforts to reach a bipartisan deal with Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., to stabilize markets for individual insurance policies that 18 million people rely on. More than half of those consumers are covered under the health law.

Alexander is chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee; Murray is the top Democrat on the committee. Alexander runs the risk of being accused by some fellow Republicans of trying to “bail out Obamacare.”

Murray is under pressure from fellow Democrats not to make concessions to Alexander, who is seeking changes that would make it easier for states to get waivers from some of the law’s requirements, potentially leading to plans with lower premiums.

“I’m still concerned about the next two years, and Congress has an opportunity to slow down premium increases in 2018, begin to lower them in 2019, and do our best to make sure there are no counties where people have zero options to buy health insurance,” Alexander said in a statement.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who has worked with Republicans on a range of health care issues, said cooperation is the only way to avoid creating needless problems for constituents.

“You recognize the opportunities that are in front of you,” said Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, which oversees health care funding.

“My hope is we can come together.”

Wyden’s list includes renewing the Children’s Health Insurance Program for 9 million kids, whose funding expires this week, as well as shortterm action to stabilize the Affordable Care Act’s insurance markets, by guaranteeing subsidies for copayments and deductibles. Experts say that could cut expected double-digit premium increases in many states by about half.
