Three Creston businesses compete in Dream Big Grow Here contest

By KYLE WILSONCNA asst. managing [email protected]

handful of Creston busi-ness owners are dreaming big this month.

Upper Crust Culinary Cre-ations, She-Nae’s Rescued and Renewed and Leslie’s Dance Emporium (Defy Gravity) — all of Creston — are participating in the Dream Big Grow Here grant contest for south-central Iowa.

Voting began Monday.In this contest, the top five

vote-getters at the end of the voting period (Oct. 21) in the south-central Iowa com-petition will be invited to compete in a pitchoff event — slated Nov. 12 at Lake-side Casino — for a chance at winning $5,000 toward their dream.

The winner of the regional c o n t e s t will then a d v a n c e to a state c o m p e t i -tion slated for spring 2014 where w i n n e r s will have a chance to win an additional $10,000.

“This is the second year for the competition,” said Wayne Pantini, Union Coun-ty Development Association (UCDA) executive director. “We are excited to offer this opportunity for businesses in Union County to exploit their business ideas. This competi-tion allows them to earn cash, as well as gain exposure for their business.”

The south-central Iowa grant contest includes Deca-tur, Clarke, Lucas, Ringgold, Union and Wayne counties.

There are a total of 11 small south-central Iowa business-es competing in this year’s competition. (See current voting ranks, right)Upper Crust

Upper Crust — a boutique bakery located in uptown Creston — currently ranks third overall with 174 votes. Upper Crust’s “dream” is to expand their business plan to offer frozen meals and des-serts to go.

The grant money would be used to replace a 1960s-style freezer — that currently has the door held closed with a ratchet strap — with two larger more energy-efficient freezers.

“We feel there is a need

to provide healthier dinner options in today’s fast-paced economy,” said Christy Whit-ed, co-owner of Upper Crust. “Our frozen meals to-go of-fer a quick, easy and health-ier alternative — perfect for the time-starved family. Our made from scratch, whole-some dinners can be bak-ing while you are reviewing homework, preparing for the following day or balancing the checkbook.”

Also, Upper Crust would like to purchase a refriger-ated display case that’s more suited to their needs com-pared to the generic jewelry

display case currently being used.

She-Nae’s She-Nae’s Rescued and

Renewed — 311 W. Mont-gomery St. in uptown Cres-ton — currently ranks fifth overall with 98 votes.

She-Nae’s is a home decor and garden store — owned by Sheila O’Riley and Rene Foster — that rescues pieces from the trash or landfill and gives them new purpose (re-purpose) or updated finish (up-cycle).

SWCC plans development for new dorms in 2014 By BAILEY POOLMANCNA staff [email protected]

Southwestern Community College is moving along with development plans to build a new dormitory on the Creston campus.

“I think we’re going to like the end re-sult,” said Tom Lesan, SWCC vice presi-dent of economic development. “We’re going to get what we want.”

According to Lesan, the building will be home to 88 students, each with their own rooms, which will be apartment-style similar to Spartan Hall and Spartan Suites.

“That would actually be part of the ex-isting need of students that we know we lost this fall because there wasn’t housing available,” Lesan said.

Plans to build the new dormitory were passed unanimously after an increase in en-rolled students want-ing to stay on campus. Total headcount has dropped from 1,666 to 1,573 since fall 2012, but the average age of students attending the college dropped also, from 22.2 to 21.7, resulting in more students requesting dormitory rooms.

It is estimated to cost $6.2 million for the three-story building. The board was given a timeline for the project, begin-ning with schematic design in October, and ending with move-in in September 2014. Actual construction is estimated to take six months.

“You’ll see a very aggressive timeline,” Lesan said. “I think we have some staff people who twisted the architect’s arm up behind their back and made them say we can be operational next fall. Some things will have to happen for that to work out.”

Lesan said in order for construction to continue as the timeline presents, the winter will have to be mild, the board will have to make a decision quickly and con-struction will have to be ready as soon as spring hits.

“I think that’s doable if we get the dirt-work done, and if we get the foundation

Dwaine Mansfield Perry

Dwaine Mansfield, 75, f o r m e r l y of Perry, died Sept. 24, 2013, at Iowa M e t h o d -ist Medi-cal Center in Des Moines.

Funeral services were 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, at Hastings Funeral Home in Perry. The Rev. Charles Compton of Perry Bible Church officiated. Interment was in Violet Hill Cemetery in Perry.

Dwaine Dwight Mans-field, son of Helen (Miller) and Charles Clyde Mans-field, was born Feb. 8, 1938, at his parents’ farm in Hern-don.

Dwaine was raised in Herndon and attended school in Jamaica and then lived in Perry, Missouri, Creston, and then moved back to Perry in 1980.

In 1970, Dwaine married Joyce Garland. Joyce died in 1995.

In 1996, Dwaine married

Sheila Ann Black.Dwaine was a railroader

for 45 years as a brakeman and conductor for Milwau-kee in Perry, Kansas City Southern and Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Rail-roads.

Dwaine is survived by his wife Sheila of Windsor Heights; sons, Dave Tasler of Grand Junction and Da-rin Tasler of Perry; daugh-ters, Melanie Whalen (Jim) of Winston Salem, N.C., and Rebecca Armes of West Des Moines; grandchildren, Amy and Alexandra Tasler, Jon, Amanda and Breanna Wha-len, Aubree Tasler, Ashlee Whitfield and Keira Hauser; sister Lois Heisler of Perry; brother Lincoln Mansfield (Geri) of Kansas City, Mo.; sister-in-law Mae Mans-field of Perry, special friend Mary Kay, many nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends.

She-Nae’s owners cre-ate their own pieces, and provide a marketplace for 30 consigners ranging from teenagers to 90-year-olds.

“Our dream is to be south-central Iowa’s premier pro-vider of re-purposed and up-cycled pieces bringing more people to uptown Creston,” O’Riley said. “Just as we try to create our pieces with junk we have on hand, we are struggling to grow our business with cash on hand.”

With the grant money, She-Nae’s would like to ex-tend its marketing area by advertising to cities near

Creston. Also, the business is currently located in an in-dustrial building that is not climate controlled.

“We need heat in order to stay open during the winter and capture holiday shopping season,” O’Riley said.

She-Nae’s could also use additional storage and a trailer outfitted with stor-age and tie-downs so vin-tage pieces can travel more safely.

Leslie’s Dance EmporiumLeslie’s Dance Emporium

— 218 N. Pine St. in uptown Creston — currently ranks 10th overall with 21 votes. The dance studio is current-

ly celebrating its 35th season of providing professional education in all areas of dance and tumbling for stu-dents in south-central Iowa.

With the grant, Leslie’s Dance Emporium would be able to purchase new equip-ment like a Tumble Trak and Rod Floor that would give students a better expe-rience and education.

Other contestantsAlso in the CNA cover-

age area — there are two businesses in Mount Ayr and one dreamer in Afton in the Dream Big Grow Here grant competition.

In Mount Ayr, Podium Ink — a graphic design firm

that does car wraps, ban-ners, T-shirts, logo creations and more — has entered the grant competition. As well, Chris Doster of Mount Ayr — owner of a Crossfit gym called Play Posse — is par-ticipating.

In Afton, full-time nurse Laura Tallmon wants to bring a fitness center to her hometown. Tallmon and her dream to build the Af-ton Fitness Center currently ranks first in the competi-tion with 380 votes.

Voting did begin Mon-day, however, Pantini re-minds people voting can be done once each day through Oct. 21.

ISU researchers part of Nobel-winning workSeveral physicists from

Iowa State University have their names on a paper cited for its importance in the re-search for this year’s Nobel Prize for Physics winners.

François Englert, of Bel-gium, and Peter W. Higgs, of the United Kingdom, won the award for their work on the Higgs boson, a subatom-ic particle that before was only considered a theory.

The ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus) experi-ment was done at CERN’s

Large Hadron Collider, a large particle accelerator that’s operated by the Euro-pean Organization for Nu-clear Research.

Ten ISU physicists have their names on a paper de-scribing how the ATLAS ex-periment observed the new particle.

Chunhui Chen, assistant professor of physics and as-tronomy at ISU, said the Higgs boson explains why things have mass and why we can feel mass.

The particles are part of the Higgs field, which occu-pies all of the cosmos and the way other particles interact with it relates to their mass — the more something inter-acts with the field, the larger the mass.

The particle was first the-orized in 1964, but wasn’t proven until last year.

Attempted abduction in New HartfordNEW HARTFORD

(MCT) — Authorities are investigating a report of an attempted abduction in New Hartford over the weekend.

According to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office, an 8-year-old girl told her par-ents she was near City Hall around 2 p.m. Saturday when she was approached by a black van with lots of win-dows.

The driver, an older man with gray beard and mus-tache, farmer’s hat and

smoking, told the girl there was a family emergency. He told her to get in the van so he could take her to her mother.

The girl instead ran off and went to a hair salon where here mother was, and her parents called authorities.

The sheriff’s office said area schools have been noti-fied of the incident.

Herman Wallace, free at lastHerman Wallace died a free

man. After close to 42 years in sol-itary confinement, with only days to live, federal Judge Brian Jack-son ordered Wallace’s release on Tuesday by overturning his 1974 murder conviction. He died in New Orleans three days later, on Friday, Oct. 4.

Herman Wallace was one of the “Angola 3,” along with Robert King, who was released from pris-on in 2001, and Albert Woodfox, who remains imprisoned in solitary confinement, despite having his sentence overturned on three sepa-rate occasions. These three men, all African-American, were locked up in what was considered America’s bloodiest prison, maximum-secu-rity Louisiana State Penitentiary, known simply as “Angola.” The sprawling prison is on the grounds of a former slave plantation, with 5,000 prisoners. It’s named for the African country where many of its earlier enslaved occupants came from. Prisoners toil in the prison’s fields, overseen by armed guards on horseback.

Wallace first went to prison for robbery. He, Woodfox and King

formed one of the first prison chap-ters of the Black Panther Party, or-ganizing inmates to oppose the sys-temic violence and sexual slavery that pervaded the institution.

Wallace and Woodfox were then convicted of the 1972 murder of a young prison guard, Brent Mill-er. No physical evidence linked the men to the crime. A bloody fingerprint at the murder scene, which matched neither Wallace’s nor Woodfox’s fingerprints, was ignored by authorities. Wallace and Woodfox believe they were targeted by officials because of their organizing work. After their conviction in 1974, they were put in solitary confinement along with Robert King, who was being pun-ished for another crime, also one that he did not commit.

The story of the Angola 3 is told in “Herman’s House,” a documen-

tary recently broadcast on the PBS series “P.O.V.” It follows the col-laboration between Wallace and artist Jackie Sumell. She heard Robert King speak after his re-lease, and decided to write to Wal-lace. The documentary includes Herman Wallace’s voice, from re-corded phone conversations with Sumell.

“Jackie, in your letter you asked me what sort of house does a man who lives in a 6-foot-by-9-foot cell dream of?” Herman Wallace says. “In the front of the house, I have three squares of gardens. The gardens are the easiest for me to imagine, and I can see they would be certain to be full of gardenias, carnations and tulips. This is of the utmost importance. I would like for guests to be able to smile and walk through flowers all year long.”

I interviewed Jackie Sumell the day before the surprise announce-ment of Wallace’s release. She said that his dream house “will outlive his flesh and bones - Herman’s leg-acy, his commitment to the people and the story of his injustice. It’s important to build this house in the incarceration capital of the world.”

Louisiana has the highest per-capi-ta incarceration rate in the United States, 13 times higher than that of China. It also leads the nation in people freed after being wrongfully convicted.

The Angola 3 were united for the last time Tuesday. The prison rules allowed King and Woodfox to say their final goodbyes to Wallace, not because he was leaving prison, but because he was dying. By sheer co-incidence, that was when the judge overturned Wallace’s conviction, and they were the ones who gave Wallace the news. Robert King de-scribed their final moments togeth-er: “Albert’s last words were, ‘Her-man, we love you, and you’re going to get out today.’” King described how Albert Woodfox leaned over, hands and feet shackled, and kissed Herman goodbye on his forehead. Amnesty International has called on Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to immediately remove Albert Wood-fox from solitary confinement.

Wallace was transferred to an ambulance and driven to the Loui-siana State University Hospital in New Orleans. He has dreamed of his release for years, and describes

it in “Herman’s House”:“I got to the front gate, and

there’s a whole lot of people out there. ... I was dancing my way out. I was doing the jitterbug. ... I turn around, and I look, and there are all the brothers in the window wav-ing and throwing the fist sign - it’s rough, man. It’s so real. I can feel it even now.”

Herman Wallace was strapped into an ambulance, not dancing, as he left the prison, hanging on to life by a thread. But he was free, after almost 42 years in solitary confine-ment, longer than any other pris-oner in U.S. history.

Peyton Manning ripped the Dallas CowboysHOLLYWOOD — God bless

America, and how’s everybody?Warren Buffett said Friday

it’s wrong for Congress and the president to play Russian Rou-lette with the debt ceiling. He’s a born moneymaker. Warren Buf-fett just printed up two hundred million bumper stickers that read Go Obama! that he can sell to both sides.

The FDA issued an alert af-ter two hundred forty cases of salmonella poisoning were re-ported from people eating Foster Farms Chicken. It could be worse. The latest approval ratings came out yesterday, and salmonella is still polling two points higher than Congress.

Peyton Manning ripped the Dallas Cowboys for four hun-dred passing yards and four TDs Sunday. Last autumn he bought seventeen Papa John ‘s pizza res-taurants in Denver, two months before Colorado legalized pot. No one can read a defense like Peyton Manning.

Dallas Cowboys star Tony Romo threw for five hundred yards and forty-eight points against Denver Sunday. However he threw a late interception and lost. After the game Tony Romo tried to throw his jersey away and the garbage can returned it for a touchdown.

Scarlett Johanssen was voted the Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire Magazine readers Monday. The

girl’s really got it. When Scarlett expressed interest in playing young Hillary Clinton in the upcoming film Rodham, Bill Clinton volun-teered to play himself in the movie.

President Obama and Congress got record-low approval ratings Friday due to public anger over the U.S. government shutdown. May-be we should let the Queen of Eng-land govern us again. She’d be like our grandma and give us money, health care and hard candy.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew warned Sunday of a pending catastrophe if Republicans don’t agree to extend the U.S. debt limit. The negotiations have gotten per-sonal. One side wants the deal to include Ted Cruz resigning from the Senate, but Obama says no way.

President Obama cancelled go-ing to the Southeast Asia Econom-ic Summit in Jakarta Friday. He really had no choice. The president couldn’t be seen in Asia doing nothing to solve the government shutdown when he could be in Washington doing nothing to solve it.

President Obama sent John

Kerry in his place to the Asian economic summit Sunday in Indo-nesia. The president had practical reasons for not wanting to fly to Ja-karta. Air Force One is subject to international re-possession laws if it’s parked too close to China.

The U.S. launched raids deploying Navy SEALs in Somalia and Delta Force soldiers in Libya to capture al-Qaeda leaders on Saturday. Don’t be fooled. So many Democrats in Washington are referring to Re-publicans as terrorists, it was prob-ably a training exercise.

Tiger Woods won the final match Sunday to allow the American golf team to beat the World team for the President’s Cup. It’s a great tournament. George W. Bush served as our team captain, recalling the golden days when every day was America versus the World.

Persian Gulf states announced they will give medical tests to ensure tourists are not gay. It’s harsh there. Until recently Iran punished people who commit homo-sexual acts with seventy-four lashes, until the police were flooded with confessions by gay masochists.

The Mars Curiosity Rover heated soil samples Friday and found two pints of water in every cubic foot of Martian soil. We’re scouring the red planet to find the answers to two questions. Is there life on Mars, and if there is life on Mars, is Frank Sinatra the father?

An opinion on ObamacareFrom Richard BrammerLenox

Three years ago, in the middle of the night, Obama and the Senate passed Obamacare.

The Supreme Court did not vote in favor of the plan. They voted 5 to 4 that a certain part of the plan was legal. Roberts, a Republican, cast the swing vote.

The last poll I saw, the people were 93 percent against the plan; Obama does not care what the people want. He will dictate to us what he wants. By the way, what word do you get by removing the

“E” on dictate and adding -or, that’s right.

To my friends that told me they would not live in a country ruled by a dictator, I assume you are packed by now. You better get your shots and passport, you will have to wait awhile, as our government is on hold (shutdown).

When I think of some people that are pinheads, I instantly think of our Senate and Congress in Washington, D.C.

As our middle daughter Vickie would exclaim, “What a bunch of morons.”

The Nancy McKay Harsh Chapter hosted the south-west district meeting of the Iowa Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Sept. 17. The state officers arrived the after-noon before for a planning meeting. Officers of the lo-cal chapter planned a tour of Mount Pisgah and the evening meal for them.

Mount Pisgah was the stopping point for around 3,000 Mormons as they traveled westward in the mid 1840s, and was the first settlement of white people in Union County. The site of Mount Pisgah is now marked by a nine-acre Mount Pisgah Cemetery preserve, which contains historical markers and a re-constructed log cabin.

Bob Brown, who owns the land where Mormons once lived, gave members of DAR a trip through the area on his tractor-pulled shuttle and explained the

many sites.Brown also showed how

to use witching rods to find the foundations of buildings

and graves. Each woman tried her skill at witching.

States used mortgage settlements for other purposes WASHINGTON (MCT)

— Instead of helping home-owners, states used at least $1 billion of the $2.5 billion they received in a legal settlement with major mortgage lenders to plug budget holes, pay for pet projects or promote eco-nomic development.

The $2.5 billion is in addi-tion to an estimated $51 billion in relief that Bank of Amer-ica, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Ally Financial (formerly GMAC) will provide to homeowners to settle states’ charges that lend-ers were using improper mort-gage practices. Those included “robo-signing” documents in foreclosure proceedings that resulted in widespread errors that pushed some people out of their homes unnecessarily.

States have no role in pro-viding the $51 billion in relief to homeowners. But states do have wide discretion over the additional $2.5 billion, which was intended to ameliorate the housing crisis.

Instead, according to a state-by-state list compiled by the National Conference of State Legislatures, many of

them found other uses for the money:

• Texas put almost its en-tire $135 million share into its general fund, then spent it on largely non-housing activities.

• Arizona spent $50 million of its $98 million share to bal-ance its budget.

• Georgia has set aside its entire $99 million for econom-ic development.

• Kansas spent 25 percent of its nearly $14 million share for activities related to mort-gage fraud, and the rest went to its general fund.

• Nebraska is depositing its entire $8 million into its rainy-day fund.

• Virginia has directed all but $7 million of its $67 mil-lion allotment into its general fund.

Other states, however, did use the money for housing-re-lated initiatives. Connecticut, for example, used $22 million of its $26 million on emergen-cy mortgage assistance. Colo-rado spent nearly half of its $50 million to help homeown-ers modify their loans, and the rest of the money on counsel-ing and legal services. And

Pennsylvania has set aside 90 percent of its $67 million for its housing finance agency, NCSL said.

Andrew Jakabovics of En-terprise Community Partners, a national affordable-housing group, estimated states are spending only $1.4 billion of the $2.5 billion for housing-related purposes. Jakabovics co-authored an October 2012 report on how states were spending the money. At that point, six months after the mortgage settlement, states had announced plans to spend $966 million for housing and foreclosure-related activities, and had diverted $988 million to their general funds or spent it on other non-housing activi-ties.

Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, who took the lead in the joint state-federal investigation into the banks’ mortgage practices, said state

lawmakers have the authority to do what they want with the money. “If policymakers in a particular state decided that the foreclosure crisis caused significant damage to their economy, one could make the case that that state should be able to use some of the settle-ment money to address that harm,” Miller said.

He also noted that by de-sign, most of the settlement relief had gone not to state budgets but directly to bor-rowers. “Let’s not lose per-spective on the overall settle-ment amounts,” he said.

The $51 billion figure that banks said they have provided in consumer relief has not yet been verified by the state and federal authorities who are monitoring the settlement.

19) Your idealism is aroused, and your interest in all things foreign is keen now. This could lead to a romantic relationship or friendship with someone from another culture.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Don’t give away the farm today just because you feel sympa-thetic for someone. After all, you have to protect your own self-interest as well. Beware of crocodile tears.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel disappoint-ed with a close friend today. Perhaps have to ask yourself if your expectations are real-istic? Furthermore, did you express these expectations? (Unexpressed expectations almost always lead to disap-pointment.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Something confusing at work might affect your earnings or what people think of you. Be clear in all your conversations. If you think something fishy is going on, it is.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Romantic partners might feel disappointed today or jealous and suspicious. You should know that things are confusing and are not necessarily what they seem. Don’t jump to hasty conclusions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) If shopping for your home, you might be extravagant today. Remember that your credit card bill has to be paid. These items aren’t as free as they feel.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might spend a lot of time daydreaming today. That’s OK. Do not

expect the impossible from others just because you fanta-size something. This is the real world.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might be tempted to buy luxurious items today. Make sure you keep your receipts in case you have later regrets.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Don’t expect loved ones to live up to an impossi-ble romantic ideal at this time. You’re involved with a real per-son who brushes his or her teeth just like you do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might feel relation-ships are ending. But perhaps what is ending is your ideal of the relationship. The real world

is not a Hollywood movie.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) Be realistic in your expec-tations of friends today, espe-cially in group situations. Or wait to see what they offer. This will help you to put things in perspective.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be careful when dealing with authority figures today because you might be tempted to sell out in order to impress someone. Is this really worth it? What price is your integrity?

YOU BORN TODAY You are

observant, insightful and artic-ulate and often work in the arts. You’re careful with money, and your judgment can be trusted. You’re well-organized and an excellent problem solver. You enjoy the comforts of home and life’s pleasures. Many of you work in the arts. Good news! This year might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big!

Dear Heloise: One cannot purchase small amounts of freshly ground PARMESAN CHEESE in most supermar-kets. We don’t use much, and by the time we’ve gotten about halfway through, we see blue spots in the Parmesan, which we then discard. Any suggestions? — John Camp-bell, via email

Yes, and it’s very simple: Buy a small block of cheese and grate it yourself. The shelf life for fresh-ground Parme-san is about two weeks (after opening). Be prepared to use it within this time. Once grat-ed, store it in an airtight glass or plastic container in the re-frigerator.

When buying a wedge/whole piece of Parmesan, wrap the cheese in wax or brown paper, followed by plastic wrap around the out-side. The cheese will be able to breathe, but will remain air-tight. — Heloise

BEAN DIPDear Heloise: I could have

cried when I realized I’d thrown away my copy of your recipe for refried bean dip. Please reprint it for me. — Cora J. in Texas

Cora, don’t cry! Hard to be-lieve this recipe was first print-ed in 1971 by my mother (the

original Heloise, 1919-1977), but it is just as good today! Gather these ingredients:

2 cups of pinto beans, cooked or canned (drained and rinsed)

2 slices of very crisp baconA pinch of garlicA pinch of chili powderPlace all the ingredients in

a blender. Depending on your preference, blend until the mixture is smooth, or leave slightly chunky. Refrigerate until cool.

I add a couple of drops of hot sauce at times, but you can add chopped jalapenos, green olives or any other extra to make it your own. All reci-pes can be changed to fit one’s personal taste. Some of my fa-vorite recipes that you can add your own ingredients to, such as my Olive Nut Dip and Taco Casserole, are available in my Heloise’s All-Time Favorite Recipes pamphlet, which you can order by sending $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Helo-

ise/Recipes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Keep a selection of different canned beans in the pantry for making dips and adding to soups, stews or casseroles. — Heloise

COOKING SAFETYDear Readers: Here is a re-

minder hint when cooking in the kitchen: Make sure to turn all pot handles to the inside, where little hands, or even adults walking by, can’t hit them while on the stovetop. Small hands or an accidental hip bump can cause serious injury.

Also, don’t wear long sleeves that hang loosely and can get caught on anything on the stove. Make it a point to change before you start cook-ing, especially if you just got home from work. — Heloise

NO-DRIP BATTERDear Heloise: After years

of putting up with batter drip-ping down the sides of my waffle irons, I found an el-egant but simple solution. Af-ter pouring in the batter, leave the lid open for 30 seconds. Voila! No more overflowing batter. — Jack G. in Middle-sex, N.Y.

Timberwolves earn top seed in conference tourney By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

CORNING — Southwest Valley secured the No. 1 seed in the western division of the Pride of Iowa Confer-ence for the upcoming con-ference tournament with a 25-11, 18-25, 25-16, 25-14 win over rival Bedford here on Tuesday.

The Timberwolves will host opening rounds and quarterfinals of the POI Conference Tournament on Monday.

“It was a big win for us,” head coach Lindsay Wet-zel said. “They’d beaten us once, so of course we want-ed to get them back. Bed-ford, for us, has always kind of been a rivalry anyway. So on senior night and parents’ night for these kids, that was great.”

Bedford defeated South-west Valley 2-1 at the Shenandoah Tournament on Sept. 14.

The Bulldogs got out to a hot start here Tuesday,

jumping out to a 7-3 lead on the Timberwolves in game one.

But, it didn’t take long for Southwest Valley to stifle the Bulldogs.Rally

A Sydney Maynes kill made the score 7-4, and se-nior Mikayla Dolch went to the service line, where she reeled off six straight points to give the Timberwolves a 10-7 advantage.

After Bedford cut the lead to 16-11, another senior, Kelsie Kinman, went to the service line and served eight straight points, including a pair of aces, to close the game out at 25-11.

“I think we kind of came out a little nervous, not playing our game,” Wetzel said. “We weren’t hitting. We were just kind of play-ing scared. Once we started attacking the ball, it was a whole different ballgame. It was great to be able to come

Southwestern shines during Chile Pepper Festival downpour By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA staff reporter • [email protected]

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Conditions were less than ideal when the South-western Community Col-lege Spartans reached the University of Arkansas ag-ricultural site here Saturday morning for the Chile Pep-per Festival cross country race.

After arriving at the race site, lightning pushed back the start of the race more than 90 minutes and a con-stant downpour created a flash flood on parts of the course.

“The conditions were less than ideal for personal best times, but everybody had to

run in it,” head coach Bill Huntington said. “Our guys and ladies had a great atti-tude and used the poor con-ditions to their advantage against some tough Division I competition.”

When the Spartan men finally were able to toe the line, just to their left was Baylor University and the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University were to their right.

“We were all nervous, I have never ran at something that big and it was the most D-I colleges I had ever seen in one place,” Spartan soph-omore Gage Beers said. “As soon as the gun wen off, it CNA photo by JAKE WADDINGHAM

Fillies clip Panthers in five sets By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

SHENANDOAH — Creston couldn’t overcome a familiar pattern of slow starts in nearly rebounding to gain a Hawkeye 10 road victory here Tuesday night.

Shenandoah secured its second league victory of the season by holding off the Panthers, 25-16, 22-25, 24-26, 27-25, 15-10.

The win pushed the Fil-lies to 2-6 in the conference and 19-11 overall. Creston slipped to 2-5 in the league and 10-8 overall.

Creston won the second and third sets to take a 2-1 lead, and seemed poised to finish off the victory in game

four before falling 27-25.“We had a lead in that

fourth game and should have won it,” coach Polly Luther said.

The Panthers had a rocky start, which is a frustrating trend, Luther said.

“These girls have all the skill that they need, and they show (later) that they can do it,” Luther said. “But we come out and play reserved, stop hitting the ball, passes are off. We have not come out and payed a good game one since Norwalk.”

A pair of junior hitters, 6-foot Serena Parker and 5-11 Sydney Nielsen, did most of the damage up front

THE NUMBERS GAME

Sox advanceST. PETERSBURG,

Fla. — Shane Victo-rino’s infield single snapped a seventh-inning tie and journey-man Craig Breslow gave Boston a huge boost out of the bullpen, sending the Red Sox into the AL championship series with a 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night.

Koji Uehara got the final four outs — one night after giving up a game-winning homer — and the Red Sox re-bounded to take the best-of-five playoff 3-1.

Back in the ALCS for the first time in five years, they’ll open at home Saturday against the Athletics or Tigers. Oakland hosts Detroit in a decisive Game 5 on Thursday.Tigers win

DETROIT — Max Scherzer came on in re-lief and slumping Austin Jackson belted an RBI single as Detroit rallied to beat Oakland 8-6 to force a deciding game in their first-round series.

Game one winning pitcher Scherzer came out of the bullpen to escape a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the eighth and Jackson snapped his hitting slump with a tie-breaking bloop single to cap a two-run rally in the seventh that gave the Tigers the lead for good after they trailed twice earlier in the American League playoff game.

“To be able to get out of that jam, I mean, that’s something I’ll nev-er forget,” said Scherzer, a 21-game winner during the regular season.

The Tigers trailed 3-0 and 4-3 in front of the crowd of 43,958 at Co-merica Park but refused to give up as they set up a winner-take-all game five back on Thursday in Oakland.

Detroit’s Victor Mar-tinez also hit a game-ty-ing leadoff home run in the seventh inning that was reviewed because a Detroit spectator reached over the railing and interfered with the ball.


Public notice

Freshmen fall in high-scoring game HARLAN — Harlan and

Creston/O-M freshmen en-gaged in a high-scoring con-test here Monday, with the Cyclones ending up on top, 47-39.

Chase Shiltz ran for 219 yards and four touchdowns, plus a kick return touch-down and interception re-turn TD. Brody Frain passed for 35 yards and rushed for 40. Cody Crawford caught both completions. Colton Bolinger had a total of eight tackles and Kadon Hulett had seven.

“This was a great game to watch and coach,” said Creston/O-M co-coach Jon

Thomson. “We just ended up on the wrong side, but we had good things going for us. The offensive line re-ally pushed things through. We couldn’t get our passing game going with some good Harlan secondary play, but we could run the ball.”

Thomson said the team’s “Hammer” formation was effective in a power running attack, and the Panthers held the leads a couple of times.

“We gave up some big plays to a good receivers and then a big play twice with a little trap in the middle of our defense,” Thomson

said. “We will take this and learn from it and come back stronger in our next game against Glenwood.”

Creston/O-M hosts Glen-wood at 4:45 p.m. Friday.

There was no JV game played Monday.

Rushing — Chase Shiltz 29-219, 4 TDs; Brody Frain 6-40; Jackson Mikkelsen 3-20; Colton Bolinger 5-15.

Passing — Frain 2-8-2 for 35 yards.

Spartans 2-0 at Reiver Classic COUNCIL BLUFFS —

Southwestern Community College swept through two league opponents Friday at the Reiver Festival.

The Spartans improved to 19-8 for the season by beat-ing Iowa Central 25-17, 25-23, 25-12; and Iowa Lakes 25-20, 25-18, 25-17.

Alex Duffy served 13-of-14 with an ace along with nine kills against Iowa Cen-tral, which fell to 12-15.

Janaya Fox served 17-17 with four aces and Allyson Kocour added nine kills in the win over Iowa Lakes (3-21).

“It was a good weekend

for our girls to come in and win both of these matches,” SWCC coach Melissa Bless-ington said. “Anytime you play regional teams in tour-nament play you want to make sure that you get the wins. I am glad our team beat Iowa Central again because it is hard to beat a team twice. It was nice to see what Iowa Lakes can do because we will see them later on and that will count for regional seeding.”

The Spartans have anoth-er key matchup for regional placement tonight in a 6:30 p.m. home match against Southeastern (5-2 league,

23-4 overall). SWCC is 4-2 in the conference, so the victor has the short-term advan-tage in third place behind No. 4-ranked Kirkwood and DMACC.

Dad defeats daughter in Murray win MURRAY — Their re-

spective records wouldn’t indicate a competitive situ-ation, but 3-19 Mount Ayr put up a fight as state-ranked Murray (16-1) got past the Raiderettes Monday night, 26-24, 25-27, 25-13, 25-21.

The Raiderettes are coached by Tori Braby, daughter of Murray coach Jerry Shields.

“We gave Murray a run for their money,” Mount Ayr coach Tori Braby said. “We left everything on the floor and I was very proud of the effort our girls gave the

entire game. I was coaching against my dad, so any trick he has ever taught me, we threw at them to throw off Murray’s game.”

Braby said a crucial sub-stitution error when the score was 24-22 in the first game changed the score to 23-23, and Murray went on to win 26-24.

“We knew it was impor-tant to make Murray scram-ble on every opportunity and I think we did a good job of that,” Braby said. “In the end, Murray came out on top.”

Paige Daughton played an outstand-ing match for Mount A y r with 19 kills, two blocks, 17-17 serving, 10 digs and 23-35 serve re-ceive.

graders won an exciting 36-28 game over Winterset here Thursday. Creston/O-M also won the B game, 6-0.

“Our boys were very selfish today and didn’t allow the Winterset boys very many touches,” said Creston/O-M coach Dick Clark. “We ground out over 400 yards of total of-fense and kept the ball out of the hands of the high-scoring Huskies.”

Walker Patterson, Zac Hague, Deon Mongar, James McDonald, Trevor Kinyon, Kendall Craw-ford, Christian Gist, Matt Borha and Beau Barn-castle controlled the lines, coach Clark said. Work-horses in the backfield were Kylan Smallwood and Dale Boyer, and Beau Barncastle recovered three fumbles.

Isaac Davis scored on a 5-yard run for the only touchdown in the B game, and the Panther defense posted a shutout. Clark credited the defensive line for playing aggressive and making good tackles.

8th gradeWINTERSET —

Creston/O-M came away with a hard-fought 6-0 vic-tory in eighth-grade play against Winterset Thurs-day.

Winterset won the B game 14-0.

Coach Kristopher “Krit-ter” Hayes said the 6-0 vic-tory was decided on the line of scrimmage.

“We controlled it on both sides of the ball and

all of our linemen deserve a lot of credit,” Hayes said. “Our defense stood strong and had two goal-line stands. Out offense con-trolled the ball throughout the game and allowed Win-terset only one offensive play in the fourth quarter.”

Controlling Winterset’s wishbone running attack was key.

“Coach Hiatt made great substitutions that kept our guys fresh during the game, which enabled us to get first downs,” Hayes said.

back and for us to beat them 25-11 when we were down 7-3 is fantastic for those kids.”

Bedford bounced back to take the second game 25-18 to even the match at 1-1, but Southwest Valley went right back to work in game three as Maynes turned a 12-8 Timberwolves lead into an 18-8 lead with a service string.

Kinman hit two cross court kills during the sec-ond game, tucking both just inside the line for points, as the Timberwolves went on to win the game 25-16.Closing game

With a raucous student section sensing a Southwest Valley victory after taking the 2-1 lead, the Timber-wolves had to use yet an-other rally to overcome a deficit in game four.

Bedford took a 9-5 lead on a Callyn Bonde kill, forc-ing Wetzel to call timeout. The Bulldogs won the first point out of the timeout to take a 10-5 lead, and shortly thereafter took an 11-8 lead.

Maynes had a pair of kills and Caitlyn Damewood served an ace in a seven-point flurry that gave the

Timberwolves a 15-11 lead.The two teams traded

points back and forth, as Bedford made it an 18-14 game, but Dolch earned a point for Southwest Valley, putting Casaundra Currin on the service line.

Currin dropped in back-t o - b a c k aces, send-ing the crowd into a frenzy. With each point the T i m b e r -w o l v e s won, the c r o w d grew louder and louder.

Dolch hit the ball off the Bedford blockers for a 22-14 lead and Currin followed that up with another ace. Jade Petersen tipped the ball over the net for a 24-14 lead and Marie Palmer earned match point for the Timberwolves.

“It felt good,” Wetzel said about getting revenge for the loss to Bedford earlier in the season. “We did a much better job. At Shenandoah, (Madison) Walston killed us on that quick, because our block wasn’t staying with her. Our block was staying with the middle, and we did

a much better job of prepar-ing for that and getting our block moved over.”

Palmer finished with a team-high 14 kills, as Kin-man and Maynes each fin-ished with seven. Palmer also recorded four solo blocks and one block assist.

Damewood and Cur-rin each set 16 assists for the Timberwolves. Currin led the team with four ace serves.

Sleep, meanwhile, played a strong defensive game, fin-ishing with 18 digs. Kinman added 13 digs.

“I thought Sierra did a good job defensively,” Wet-zel said. “If she wasn’t back there running around, we would not have gotten half of those balls up. Sierra had a great night. She was get-ting stuff up all over.”Conference tourney

The Timberwolves, now 16-4 for the season, hosts a quadrangular on Thursday against Mount Ayr, Clarin-da and Treynor. They then host the opening rounds and quarterfinals of the POI Conference Tournament on Monday.

Semifinals and finals of the POI Conference Tour-nament are Tuesday in Truro.

“We’re the No. 1 seed and we host,” Wetzel said about the conference tournament. “That’s never happened since I’ve been coach here, so that’s awesome for the girls. We’re looking forward to playing Tuesday night.

Again, we’ve never played Tuesday night since I’ve been here, and we’d much rather go play than go watch.”

became just like any other race.”

Also in the field of more than 300 runners was the defending national cham-pion from Texas Tech Uni-versity, Kennedy Kenziah.

Beers, of Osceola, led the Spar-tans on the sog-gy 8K c o u r s e in 29:04, ahead of top seven v a r s i t y f inishers for multiple D-I programs, including TCU.

Ben Friederichs, Aaron Ward, Rayvonne Brown and Chasen Selsor round-ed out the team scoring for the Spartans.

“As a team, we had our hands full, but our indi-vidual performaces were outstanding,” Huntington said. “This was the first time we have taken a team to a race of this caliber and they handled it well.”

Beers added that the experience and confi-dence gained from running against nationally ranked

programs will give the team more confidence late in the season when SWCC competes in smaller meets.

“Knowing that I can keep up with D-I programs really makes me want to push up toward the front of the pack in smaller meets,” Beers said. “Clos-ing in on the end of the season I need to keep fo-cused and make sure that I am running smart.”

For the women, Han-nah Murphy and Sarah McKeon took advantage of the shorter 5K distance, setting personal best times despite the tough race con-ditions.

“Our ladies really stepped it up,” Huntington said. “It takes a lot of guts to go out and compete for a seasonal best against some of the best teams in the na-tion. To not shy away from that level of competition speaks volumes for the heart these girls have.”

The Spartan women have raced at the 6K dis-tance at several meets this year to improve their strength for the regional and national champion-ship, which is only a 5K.

Sophomore Kristin

Klocksiem and teammates Libby Hurley-Boyd and Aspen Riley scored for the Spartans. Katie Stevens was the sixth runner for the Spartans.

“It is going to be a race they remember for the rest of their lives,” Hunting-ton said. “Their place and time won’t matter, but the

experience to toe the line in those conditions against that caliber of competition will be a highlight of their college career.”

The Spartans have the week off from racing to focus on training and to recover for the regional championship Oct. 26 in Mason City.

Sports briefs Wild on TV

DES MOINES — The Iowa Wild hockey team an-nounced an agreement to air five games on Mediacom Channel 22, starting with Saturday’s opening night at 7 p.m. The team will also broadcast games live on Nov. 2, Dec. 20, Feb. 25 and March 25.

Regional changeA change in the original

regional volleyball pairings involves Orient-Macksburg.

O-M athletic director Kim DeJongh said the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union has asked O-M to host Clar-inda Academy at 7 p.m. Oct. 22. Originally, O-M received a first-round bye.

Cards confident as Game 5 beckons By JOE OOSTERMEIERBelleville News-Democrat

ST. LOUIS — Big game? Big deal. Bring it on.

There are no guarantees in baseball, but believe this: The St. Louis Cardinals will not be faint of heart when they face the Pittsburgh Pirates in a de-ciding Game 5 of the NL Divi-sion Series Wednesday night.

Win, and the Los Angeles Dodgers come to town for Game 1 of the NLCS Friday.

Lose, and the Cardinals’ re-markable season comes to an end long before it should.

Not that anybody wearing a red hat is thinking that way this day.

“These guys are not scared,” said Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright, who gets the ball for Game 5. “We know we can compete with anyone. We have a solid nucleus, we have a great pitching staff.”

And they have an uncanny knack for winning when it counts most:

The Cardinals are 7-1 in elimination games the last three postseasons, including their 2-1 win in Game 4 Mon-day in Pittsburgh.

Think about that a moment: Eight times since 2011, this group of players has taken the field for a playoff game knowing a loss would end the season. Seven times, they’ve found a way to win.

With that on the team re-sume, Cards manager Mike Matheny knows what ap-proach his players will take to yet another game played on the brink.

“They (will) show up like it’s another day,” the Cardi-nals manager said.

for the Fillies. With Creston middle hitter Natalie Mostek sometimes triple blocked, set-ter Hanna Luther often found an alternate attack route for her 40 assists. Ashley Harris started on the left side and had a team-high 14 kills. Ni-cole Haley added 10.

M o s t e k was effec-tive at times in halting the dual attacks of Nielsen and Parker, totaling six solo blocks and one assist.

Jami Sickels led the defense in digs with 12. The team’s serving percentage was high again, with Mostek (17-18) and Alli Thomsen (16-16) each notching two aces. Serve receive was a little more spo-radic, with Haylee LaMasters posting the most consistent ef-fort at 14-20.

A consistent effort from the start would be helpful Thurs-day in a home match against Glenwood. A win would not only match the Rams’ win total in the conference (3-3, 11-12 overall), but provide some confidence for the same matchup in the Class 4A re-gional opener Oct. 28 at Glen-wood.

In other league play Tues-day, Red Oak rallied from a 2-0 deficit to knock off Clar-inda 3-2, Denison-Schleswig swept Atlantic 3-0, Lewis Cen-tral edged Class 3A No. 1-rat-ed Carroll Kuemper Catholic

3-2 and Harlan picked up a pair of 3-0 wins over St. Albert and Glenwood.

Greater Regional Reha-bi l i tat ion S e r v i c e s welcomed Jill Hoaki-son, DPT, to its com-prehensive rehabilita-tion team in Octo-ber.

Hoakison is originally from Moville, and her hus-band Caleb is originally from the Creston area.

Hoakison completed her undergraduate studies at Iowa State University and her doctorate at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. She has previously worked at Unity Point Health-Des Moines at Lutheran, caring for patients recovering from open heart, orthopaedic and surgical procedures, as well as longer-term rehabilitation patients.

“I have the great privilege in helping others get their mobility back after a surgery or illness,” Hoakison said. “Successes such as guiding a person to take their first step after a stroke, climbing their first set of stairs after a hip or knee replacement or even sitting up at the edge of the bed after a prolonged illness make me believe that I play a role in providing others with a greater quality of life.”

To schedule an appoint-ment with Hoakison or learn more, call 641-782-3510.
