SMARTStart classes for budding entrepreneurs planned The workshop will be Oct. 10 and Oct. 17 at Union County Development Association in Creston.

Registration before Oct. 10 is $20.

Though an entrepreneur may have a good idea and the drive to see it to fruition, many new businesses fail within the first few years.

“I think they don’t take enough time to do proper business planning, understand the markets that they’re in, the industry they’re in and understand what their customer needs are,” said Wayne Pantini, U n i o n County Development Association (UCDA) executive director. “ T h e y ’ r e Pantini typically under-capitalized when they get started.”

In an effort to educate budding entrepreneurs, UCDA, in collaboration with Small Business Development Center, is offering its SMARTStart classes from 6 to 8 p.m.

Monday evenings, Oct. 10 and Oct. 17. It will be the second time the two-session workshop has been offered.

“The idea behind this is an introductory to business planning for somebody who has maybe just started a business or is thinking about starting a business,” Pantini said. “And then, they would have the option to set up some one-on-one business counseling with Brandi Shay at the Small Business Development Center after they go through this class.”

When it was offered in the spring, Pantini said it was successful, but there were people in Union County who were unable to attend. He wants to offer the workshop again in an attempt to draw in those individuals as well as others interested in learning the ins and outs of running a business.

“It’s not geared toward any one type of business, so it’s a pretty broad perspective,” he said. “The idea of it is to put together some strategic questions for them to analyze and to create that next three-year vision of where they want the business to go, understanding the market they might be in and evaluating opportunities for the business.”

Cynthia Wolf of Creston attended the spring classes with the goal of obtaining fresh ideas and learning to better promote Upper Crust Culinary Creations, which CLASS | 2A

Cedar Rapids fends off flood damage with temporary barriers CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — An elaborate system of temporary floodwalls is so far protecting thousands of homes and businesses in Cedar Rapids from major flooding.

Iowa’s second-largest city says its hastily erected 9.8-mile system of Hesco barriers and earthen berms is largely holding back the rain-swollen Cedar River, which crested Tuesday at its second-highest level on record.

City officials said some buildings and homes near the river had water in their basements.

Here’s the situation in Cedar Rapids:

number of businesses and homes appear to have major water on their main levels, and many more have water in their basement.

What does that system entail?

Contractors erected nearly 10 miles of temporary barriers in just days, and 250,000 sandbags were filled and placed to protect homes and businesses. The city had some of the Hesco barriers for years for flood protection but this marks the first time they have been deployed in Cedar Rapids. The city bought the rest for $1.4 million from the University of Iowa, which had them in storage. The barriers are How bad is the filled with sand.

Death Mary Carson Creston

Mary Carson, 75, of Creston died Tuesday, Sept.

Celebration of life services will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Mary Elizabeth Carson, daughter of Dean Arthur Darrow and Jean Lucille (Acker), was born July 10, 1941, in Fontanelle. Mary graduated from Bridgewater-Fontanelle High School.

In August 1972, Mary married Dean Theodore Carson at Trinity Lutheran Church in Creston. They settled in Creston where

million has been authorized for the project, but not appropriated. City Manager Jeff Pomeranz says the city has been told by the White House that it will be tough to get funding for the project because others have a better cost-benefit ratio.

Pomeranz says the federal money is critical.

Have residents in the potential flood zones been evacuated?

Yes. Downtown and many nearby areas are largely abandoned. Businesses are closed, roads are blocked off and thousands of residents have temporarily left for shelter elsewhere. Some stayed behind despite repeated urging from city officials to get

she worked for Strauss Ladies Clothing as a retail associate, and later worked at Cablevision. She also worked for Bunn-O-Matic on the line and Wellman-Dynamics as a part of the foundry production line. Finally, she worked on the production line at Ferrara Candy Company until her retirement in 2006.

Mary was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church.

Mary is survived by her husband Dean Carson of Creston; daughter Jodi Fagen of Huxley; son Jerry (Vicki) Carson of Des Moines; sister Sue Thompson of Leon; grandchildren, Jason Jungst of Elkhart, Jamie Jungst of Slater, Travis (Amber) Jungst of Slater and Garrett Fagen of Huxley.; step-grandchildren, Julie Malcom of Mount Ayr and Rhonda Evans of Diagonal; three great-grandchildren and three step-great-grandchildren.

Mary was preceded in death by her parents, sister Sharon (Merlyn) Linthicum and brother-in-law George Thompson.

out.

When will the city return to normal?

It depends on how fast the river levels lower. City officials say they will likely not reopen key streets and the evacuated areas for a few days as the river remains far above flood stage. Schools are closed again Wednesday. City leaders say they will not feel comfortable until the river falls below 18 feet.

The National Weather Service expects the river to return below flood stage of 12 feet Sunday.

Has anyone been injured?

Firefighters and police officers rescued a woman who was swept away by the river Monday afternoon.

She was able to cling to a tree until emergency responders could reach her and get her to safety.

Officer helping with Iowa arrest accidentally shoots himself NEWTON (AP) — Authorities say a detective helping with an arrest in Newton accidentally shot himself.

The Mid-Iowa Narcotics Enforcement Task Force said in a news release that officers approached 25-year-old Chad Coady in a restaurant parking lot about 9:30 p.m. Monday.

The release says Coady drove toward the officers’ vehicles, causing two crashes.

According to the release,

the handgun of one of the officers then went off as he was putting it back into its holster. The bullet struck the officer’s lower right leg. The officer was later reported in good condition at a Des Moines-area hospital. The officer’s name hasn’t been released.

Officers arrested Coady on a warrant alleging parole violation. Court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could be contacted to comment for Coady.

CORNING – Addison Pegg of Corning and Tori Heckman of Guthrie Center started the Tori’s Angels Foundation’s first-ever golf tournament Sept.

24 with the honorary first shot. Forty-eight golfers enjoyed a day of golf and a grilled lunch at Happy Hollow Country Club in Corning with lots of prizes awarded at the end of the afternoon, including a trophy won by Tara Miller.

The golf tournament was held in support of Addison and the children sponsored by Tori’s Angels, a foundation which helps children with life-threatening illnesses. Four-yearold Addison undergoes treatment for pulmonary capillaritis. Eleven-yearold Tori, the foundation’s original recipient, has had many open-heart surgeries to repair a congenital heart defect.

The foundation pays for expenses not covered by insurance, including travel expenses to treatment (airfare or mileage, hotel and meals), as well as medical co-pays and deductibles.

The foundation is now

supporting 14 children in central Iowa and is always looking for more children to help. The foundation’s board pays all expenses for the running of the organization.

The foundation wishes to sincerely thank everyone who made this tournament a great success, including all donors and supporters, golfers, Happy Hollow Country Club, the planning group and supporters who came for lunch.

Donations are gratefully accepted any time and can be mailed to the foundation’s president, Bill Ridgley, at 4677 Panorama Dr., Panora, IA 50216.

For more information about Tori’s Angels or to request an application for support, contact Ridgley at 712-249-6423 or bridgley@netins.net.

Polk County gives initial OK to minimum wage increase DES MOINES (AP) — Polk County officials have given initial approval to an increase in the minimum wage.

The Des Moines Register reports supervisors Tuesday gave the first of three ap-

provals needed to increase the wage from the state and federal rate of $7.25 an hour to $10.75 by January 2019.

The wage would climb to $8.75 by April, $9.75 in January 2018 and finally $10.75.

through, Polk County would be Iowa’s fourth county to raise the minimum wage, following action by Johnson, Linn and Wapello counties.

Polk County, with about 450,000 residents, has the

largest population of Iowa’s 99 counties.

Minimum wage increases have come up repeatedly at the Legislature, but proposals have failed because of opposition by Republican lawmakers.

New veterans cemetery in Omaha opens with memorial service OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A new national cemetery for veterans in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa has opened with a service for four men who had served the U.S. in the military.

The ashes of the four vet-

erans were buried with full military honors at the new Omaha National Cemetery. One deceased military member was chosen from each service branch.

Those veterans included Marine Cpl. John “Frank�

Ernst of Omaha, Army Spc. Michael Brabec of Fremont, Air Force Sgt. James Edgell of Council Bluffs and Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Russell Rosberg of Omaha.

Cemetery director Cindy Van Bibber said at the cer-

emony that the headstones will represent the veterans’ sacrifices.

Van Bibber said families have sent requests for more than 220 deceased veterans to be buried in the cemetery.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, September 28, 2016

Hall inductees offer reminders about impacting lives I learned a few nuggets from each of the new inductees into the Creston High School Hall of Fame Thursday night during their presentations.

Galen Zumbach, Dr. Linda Lucas Walling and Dannie Stephens all offered some reminders about what to appreciate in life and the impact educators can have on a young person. They each cited examples from their own upbringing.

Linda Lucas Walling Dr. Walling, who has done so much to promote better access in libraries for those with disabilities, graduated from CHS in 1957 but she still recalled three special teachers in her life from her days as a student.

One was especially kind to her when her mother was undergoing cancer treatment. She recalled legendary teacher Dorothy Peak providing her “a place of refuge” when things seemed to be swirling around her too fast at times. A business teacher went out of her way to find her a one-handed typing book to help her prepare for college, because that teacher saw

Straight shots Larry Peterson senior feature writer

great college potential in her and knew she’d be busy typing a lot as a student.

“These actions may seem small and insignificant,” Walling said, “but here I am remembering them 60 years later!”

Walling then had a great reminder for me, since I’m still working with young people as a middle school basketball coach.

“We all touch others in some way every day,” Walling said.

“Mother Teresa said, ‘We can do no great things, but we can do small thing with great love.’ The seemingly small things we do and say really matter in ways we may never know.”

Dannie Stephens Dannie Stephens noted how the small decisions can be life-changing. Growing up near Shannon City in the 1960s, he could have gone to

either East Union or Creston after attending three grades in Shannon City. His parents thought Creston had a pretty good school system going and sent him there.

“Both schools would have been good,” Stephens said, “but at the time, if I had gone to East Union wrestling would have never become a part of my life.”

As it turned out, wrestling was a huge part of his life as both a competitor for the Panthers and Southwestern Community College, and as head coach at Bedford and Creston high schools. He continues to work with kids at the lower levels.

Wrestling, the Union County Fair Board and the Union County Saddle Club are passions of Stephens. That small decision to send him north to school in Creston placed him in a growing Panther wrestling program that shaped his future.

He went on to talk about some of the top scholar-athletes that he coached, such as co-valedictorians Lance Goetz and Roger Baker.

Both wrestled at state, with Baker winning a championship. Goetz, overcoming a tragic accident, be-

came a successful spinal cord surgeon. Stephens impacted their lives in a positive way.

Stephens also spoke of a young man he coached at Bedford who passed only two of five classes one spring semester, and was in danger of being ineligible for sports the next fall semester because you had to pass three.

Another teacher got it approved for the student to apply his summer driver’s ed credit toward that spring semester.

“He played JV football that next fall, wrestled for us three years placing third at state, and graduated on time,” Stephens said. “After that one spring, he was a pretty decent student. He went on to the Marine Corps and is now successful and living in Clarinda. Whether it was totally ‘by the book’ or not, here was a teacher helping an atrisk kid and it made a difference in that young man’s life.”

Galen Zumbach Galen Zumbach built one of the nation’s top FFA programs in his 33 years working in Creston. He earned several accolades in the

field of education and was Creston’s first Citizen of the Year for his efforts, including planting trees worth thousands of dollars around the school grounds and community.

“Of all the honors that I’ve been fortunate enough to receive, the award I will most treasure is being a Creston High School Hall of Fame recipient,” Zumbach said.

Zumbach said he never left Creston for a simple reason: “I like it here. Creston is my home.”

He recalled his childhood in northeast Iowa growing up on a farm, attending North Linn schools. Teachers there “opened the gates” of his passion to become an educator.

“Teachers can help you look within yourself,” Zumbach said.

He closed with a quotation from Mahatma Gandhi.

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

The Nancy McKay Harsh Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolutions (DAR) is again sponsoring the DAR annual American History essay contests.

This year’s topic for fifththrough eighth-grade is: “Celebrating a Century: America’s National Parks.” The National Park Service was established by Congress in 1916. The National Park Service manages approximately 84.4 million acres of national parks. Pretend you are writing a journal while visiting one of the 58 national parks.

Identify its location. Discuss

why and when it was established as a national park. What makes this park one of our national treasures?

The contest topic for grades 9 -12 is: “Technology’s Impact on the Voyage of Christopher Columbus.” Technological advances have greatly changed our world since the voyages of Christopher Columbus. If Columbus had just some of the technology we have today in 2016, how might this have changed his planning and carrying out of his voyages? What technological advances would have been most beneficial to Columbus?

Each local winner in each of the fifth through eighth-grade levels, as well as the winner of the Columbus essay will be

awarded a $10 cash gift, medal and certificate. The winning entries will be sent to the state society. State level winners will be chosen and then forwarded to the district and national contest levels.

This is an excellent learning experience for students. It’s open to all students in public and private school, as well as to all who are home schooled.

The deadline for entries is Nov. 30. Send completed entries to Judith Wachter at the address below. For more information and a copy of the rules for each category, contact: Judith L.

Healthy eating tips for kids when dining out (BPT) –Whether they’re traveling, celebrating a special occasion or simply spending quality time together, families across the country enjoy going to restaurants and dining out together.

As consumers become more sophisticated in their tastes and diets, restaurateurs are re-engineering their menus to accommodate those needs. Today, more than ever before, restaurants are offering an array of healthful, delicious and great-tasting options that appeal to taste buds of all ages.

“Many restaurants are updating their menus so children have more nutritious choices when they dine out,” says Annika Stensson, the National Restaurant Association’s director of research communications. “More kids’ menus feature fresh ingredients that are cooked creatively and make eating out not only healthful, but fun.”

National Restaurant Association data confirms that chefs and consumers are on the same page when it comes to offering better nutrition for kids at restaurants. Healthful children’s meals have become a top culinary trend.

Even though there are more nutritious choices available for children, it can sometimes be confusing for parents to figure out the better options from the more indulgent ones. Healthy Dining founder Anita Jones-Mueller, MPH, has provided five simple tips to help parents find more healthful kids’ meals: 1.

Marinating meat is a cold business Dear Heloise: We love to grill different meats all year long. I’ve found that MARINATING MEAT gives us numerous flavor options. My question is, Should I marinate foods on the kitchen counter or in the refrigerator? – Shelby W., via email Food should ALWAYS marinate in the refrigerator. Even if a recipe calls for marinating food on the kitchen counter, you need to ignore those instructions and place it in the refrigerator, because chances are you’re reading an older recipe. Bacteria grow more quickly at room temperature, so just plan on marinating the food for a longer period of time in the refrigerator. Also, do not refrigerate overnight, because the shelf life starts dwindling as soon as it is defrosted; marinating does not give food a longer shelf life.

Hints from Heloise they make great levelers for measuring spoons and small measuring cups. Just dip the spoon or cup into the dry ingredient and run the edge of the stick across the top one or two times. This leaves the spoon or cup perfectly level, and it can be used over and over again with a quick rinse and air-dry. I keep several in the kitchen drawer in case I have multiple ingredients that need leveling and I don’t want to mix flavors together. You also can use wooden tongue depressors the same way for larger cups.

Here is my hint: When making eggplant Parmesan, lasagna, chili or soup, I make a double batch. We eat one immediately, and I freeze the other one for a future meal.

Panther volleyball split Tuesday triangular

By RYAN KRONBERG Tuesday’s Hawkeye 10 ConCNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

ATLANTIC — Creston’s volleyball team has shown it can compete physically with teams.

Doing it mentally is a challenge coach Polly Luther is working on her team with.

The Panthers showed flashes of their abilities in

ference triangular against Lewis Central and Atlantic.

Creston fell in three straight to Lewis Central, but rallied in the nightcap to defeat Atlantic in three straight.

“The physical game is there,” Luther said. “Mentally they have to expect that out of themselves. They have to believe they can do it.

“We struggle with that.

That’s the hardest part to coach.”

The Panthers played with plenty of confidence against Atlantic in earning a 25-16, 25-15, 25-22 victory.

“We thought we could beat Atlantic,” Luther said.

“We came out there and played much better.”

Creston was sharp all the way around.

“ O u r passes were better. Our serves were better. Our hits were much bet- Maitlen ter,” Luther said. “We got touches on blocks. We were communicating. It was the whole

package.”

Creston’s offense delivered regularly against Atlantic. Cayla Maitlen pounded home 14 kills. Megan Haley had 13 kills, while Hannah Hood added six kills.

“Megan Haley and Cayla Maitlen were hitting the snot out of the ball,” Luther said.

“They were our go-to girls in CRESTON | 8A

Raiderettes knock off Wolverines in three

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — When Kelcie Shields and her Raiderette teammates are on the same page like they were Tuesday, it becomes hard for any team in southwest Iowa to compete.

Ultimately, Mount Ayr’s skill proved too much for the Wolverines to compete all of set three, and the Raiderettes prevailed 25-16. Shields played well throughout in blasting the ball down to the floor for numerous kills, but really stepped it up when Nodaway Valley stepped it up in set three.

“It was nice to see our girls, especially come in front of our home crowd, and have fun from the start,” Mount Ayr coach Tori Braby said.

Already up 14-6 in the first set, Nodaway Valley coach Allison Bjork called a timeout. It didn’t slow the Raiderettes down. On the serve of Tessa Shields, Mount Ayr ripped off a run and jumped out to an insurmountable 23-6 lead, leading to a 25-8 win.

Mount Ayr followed that up with a 25-8 second set win.

The third set featured a better battle between the two squads, as Nodaway Valley shot out to a 9-6 lead thanks to more intensity and better communication from the Wolverines, as well as some botched receives from Mount Ayr. The two battled it out to a 13-13 score, but that was when Kelcie Shields stepped up to help put the game away.

Blair Glendenning and Macy Larsen set Kelcie Shields up time and again.

Glendenning also contributed 14 digs.

“She’s yelling at the passers to get it up there, and they all work together really well and they communicate, so that’s why everything is clicking for us right now,” Braby said.

Shields ended up with 18 kills in the match.

With just two matches before the Pride of Iowa tournament begins, Braby noted serving and blocking as key areas she wants to see her team improve in.

Her team was 65-of-72 on serves with Alyssa Johnson leading the way with a 19-of19 serving performance.

UP NEXT — Mount Ayr (23-1), hosts Murray (7-8) Monday.

Lohmann wanted more, but her body would not allow it on a hilly course at the Osceola Country Club.

She entered Tuesday coming off a third-place finish at the Orient-Macksburg Cross Country Invitational Monday.

that match.”

Ten Panthers had at least one kill.

Jaxie Luther had 34 assists, and was 9-of-9 serving with one ace.

Haley was 12-of-12 serving with two aces.

Makenna Hudson had seven digs, while Haley added six digs.

Breanna Wallace was pulled in the third set of the match against Lewis Central and did not play against At-

lantic with an injury.

Freshman Emma Hanson filled in, and played well, coach Luther noted.

“She did a pretty good job,” coach Luther said. “After that first game against Lewis Central, she got comfortable with the position.

The kids really talked to her, led her in the right direction.”

Hood helped out in slowing the Atlantic hitters down.

“Hannah Hood started getting her hands on some blocks,” coach Luther said.

“Even though Atlantic wasn’t super powerful, she

was getting them popped up and where we need them to be. That’s important.”

The match against Lewis Central was one the Titans controlled throughout.

While Lewis Central won 25-13, 25-17, 25-15, coach Luther said the score was not that close.

“W played poorly,” coach Luther said. “The scores don’t reflect how bad the game was. I looked at the scores, and that’s not near as bad as how it was.”

The Panthers could never find their groove against the Titans.

“We didn’t even come out of the gate,” coach Luther said. “Our passes were poor.

We couldn’t hit the ball. We couldn’t block the ball.”

Maitlen and Wallace each had seven kills. Haley had six kills and Buxton five kills.

Jaxie Luther had 25 assists and was 10-for-10 serving.

Wallace was 10-for-10 serving with three aces. Haley had five digs.

The Creston/O-M Panthers football team recently received a donation of chocolate milk from Western Iowa Dairy Alliance (WIDA).

Haley Jones of Creston heard about WIDA’s “Fall Sports Chocolate Milk Donation” program through her mother who is a member of WIDA. Jones teamed up with fellow dairy enthusiast, Shiloh Gennaro of Afton, to pursue the donation program. After talking with the Creston/O-M football coach, Brian Morrison, the trio decided that a chocolate milk donation would be a great idea and worth applying for.

The application for the milk donation went through and WIDA donated 75 bot-

tles of chocolate milk to the cause.

“The idea of this milk donation program is to promote the value of chocolate milk as an excellent way to refuel after a sporting event,” Jones said.

Jones and Gennaro handed the milk out to the Panthers after Creston/O-M’s homecoming win against Atlantic.

WIDA is an organization of dairy producers and industry partners in the growing epicenter of dairy production in western Iowa. To learn more about WIDA, check out their website at www.wiadairy.com or their Facebook page at www. facebook.com/WesternIowaDairyAlliance.

Fall festival at Country Life Center offers family fun ORIENT – Celebrate Iowa’s abundant harvest during a fall festival Saturday and Sunday at the Country Life Center, 2773 290th St., in Orient. Wander through a prairie maze, tour the gardens and paint a pumpkin to take home.

Live music, games and artist demonstrations will keep the whole family entertained. Crafts, food and produce will be for sale, with lunch available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

From 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, children’s book author, singer, songwriter and visual artist Chad Elliot of Panora will sign “Wilderman’s Treetop Tales,” a book for children ages 3 – 10 and perform songs from a companion music album of the same name. A seasoned musician, Elliot has appeared on Iowa Public Radio’s Java Blend, com-

posed and performed music for several IPTV documentaries and won prestigious awards such as the Woody Guthrie Song Contest.

Fall festival hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, rain or shine. Admission is $10 per carload. Call 641-337-5019 for lunch reservations or for more information.

The Country Life Center is part of The Wallace Centers of Iowa, a nonprofit dedicated to enriching community through sustainable food and civility programs.

A second site is located at the Wallace House in Des Moines. Together, the two locations manage two historic sites, provide educational programs and community services, produce more than 40 varieties of fruits and vegetables and offer locally sourced lunches and dinners.

CROP Walk scheduled for Oct. 9 The CROP Hunger Walk has become a tradition in Union County. Every year since 1986, citizens have walked miles to emphasize millions of people around the world spend much of their day seeking food and water. We walk because they walk.

And on this, the 30th anniversary of the Union County CROP Hunger Walk, the goal is to make everyone aware that the fight to end poverty and hunger around the world, as well as in the United States, continues.

The late Nelson Mandela once said, “Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity; it is an act of justice. Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.”

CROP Walk organizers would like to see that greatness blossom in Union County as never before.

They would like to double the number of people in the 2016 walk to at least 100 and exceed last year’s total of $5,941.43. They would like to push toward the year they had in 2013 when $9,503.37 was raised.

The organizers need walkers – lots of them – who have collected money from family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.

Families are encouraged to walk. Form a team and see how much you can raise, or do it on your own.

Here are the details on how you can help: The 2016 CROP Hunger Walk will be held on Sunday, Oct. 9. The walk is sponsored by Union County Ministerial Alliance.

Afton city staff encourage daily votes for project AFTON – The city of Afton has submitted a Wellmark Foundation Community Kickstarter grant application for a basketball court surface project in the city park. Wellmark received about 120 qualified applications.

Now, Afton needs help to show the foundation the city has the community’s support, according to Afton City Clerk Toni Landers. While this is just one part of the overall scoring, it demonstrates the community is behind the project.

Show support now through Oct. 7 on social media by voting for the project – once a day.

The Wellmark Foundation is awarding grants up to $10,000 for projects that improve community health through active living and access to and consumption of healthy foods. Community support is important, so show support – but only once a day.
