Afton’s new restaurantAFTON — A new restaurant in Afton opened last week.

Up in Smoke Barbecue — owned by Afton native Brad Jones — began serv-ing Friday. The restaurant is located on the northwest side of the square, 302 N. Douglas St., in Afton. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

“We have seating inside for 27 people,” Jones said. “We have a walk-up and drive-up window for carry-out orders. We also do catering.”

Up in Smoke Barbecue specializes in smoked meats like ribs, brisket, pulled pork and chicken. Those meats can be served with cheesy potatoes, baked beans, coleslaw and/or pasta or potato salad. Jones said he also offers soft serve ice cream including some-thing he calls the Avalanche — which is similar to a Dairy Queen blizzard.

Drive 4UR School event slated Saturday in CrestonCreston Automotive will host a Drive 4UR School program at Panther Field in Creston Saturday in an effort to raise up to $6,000 for Creston High School.

All you have to do is test drive a new Ford vehicle and Creston Automotive/Ford Motor Compa-ny will donate $20 to Creston High School Activities Booster Club. The funds will go toward funding ex-tracurricular activities at the high school.

“We know funding for school pro-grams is hard to come by, and we want to do our part to help make sure these programs remain available,” said Rick Benson, owner of Creston Automo-tive. “We’re excited to raise money for the CHS Activities Booster Club.”

The event will be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. There is a limit of one test drive per household.

Since implementing Ford’s Drive 4UR School program in 2007, more than $16 million in donations have been generated for high schools na-tionwide.

hall of fame inductions curt olson

Big man with a big heart EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the second in a three-part series on 2013 inductees into the Creston Community Schools Hall of Fame at 12:15 p.m. Friday in the CHS auditorium.

By LARRY PETERSON CNA staff writer [email protected]

H e could light up a room with his trademark cackling laugh, after feigning anger with some bellowing com-

mand as the self-proclaimed “warden” of Creston High School.

On Sept. 19, 2012, Curt Olson finally met the only obstacle he couldn’t con-quer in his relentless effort to make Creston High School, and the commu-nity of Creston, a better place.

Olson, 68, died that day from effects of a massive stroke suffered a few days earlier. Earlier in the year, a committee had selected Olson to be inducted into the Creston Community Schools Hall of Fame as a distinguished faculty mem-ber.

Because of the timing of his death and the family’s attention focused on those arrangements, the full induction of Ol-son into the Hall of Fame was delayed

a year. His wife, Beth, will accept the honor dur-ing ceremonies at 12:15 p.m. Friday in the Creston High School audi-torium.

Olson was Creston High School assistant principal and ac-tivities director for 22 years be-fore retiring in 2004. After that, he worked as a transport officer for the Union County Sheriff’s Department.

During his ten-ure at CHS, he was a past presi-

dent of the Iowa High School Athletic Directors Association and was a final-ist for the National Athletic Director of the Year Award in 1994 while serving as Iowa’s State Athletic Director of the Year.

Olson was recognized for his work in helping students stay in school, and find assistance they needed. He was also a coach of several sports in the Creston district, and was still serving as a volun-teer coach for the eighth-grade football team at the time of his death.

“One of dad’s heroes was his college football coach,” said son Matt Olson. “He always told pop he’d make a great junior high coach because of his solid fundamentals and work ethic. Dad told me once how much it meant to him to honor his hero by finally doing it.”Appreciative

Olson worked tirelessly for CHS ac-tivities, and as a disciplinarian with a passion for helping struggling kids stay in school. At his funeral in the same CHS gymnasium that “Oly” worked so many hours as an administrator, Matt Olson thanked the community for al-lowing his father to enjoy his work.

“From the day he set foot there at the old ‘Pit,’ with Ron Levine, he dug in and went to work,” Matt said. “He was

allowed by the community to do what he needed to do to make that place run. Without that support, he would have looked to move on.”

Matt said his father deserves the Hall of Fame honor.

“He wasn’t one of those guys who gets recognition because of giving a lot of money or something,” Matt said. “His currency was time. He gave a lot of time, and he’s earned this. That was always the way he told us to do things — earn it, or you don’t deserve it.”

The mindset of earning success with-out making excuses came early for Curt Olson, who suffered a minor stroke as an infant, which affected his left side. He walked with a limp, yet grew up working as hard as anyone else on the family farm near Manilla, and earned an opportunity to play football at Buena Vista in Storm Lake.

Since he was told as a youngster he had too many physical limitations to be a full-time farmer, he pursued an edu-cation, and ended up with a bachelor’s degree from Buena Vista, master’s from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and an Educational Specialist degree from Northwest Missouri State Univer-sity.

He followed his passions of athletics and education initially at Pomeroy. He moved to Charter Oak-Ute in 1968. As head football coach there, his team had a 31-game winning streak from 1969-71. That was before the state playoffs began in 1972.

� 1963 graduate, Manilla High School. Overcame effects of a stroke in infancy to become a col-lege football prospect, choosing to play at Buena Vista College.

� Graduate of Buena Vista in Storm Lake, master’s degree from University of Nebraska at Omaha, Education Specialist de-gree from Northwest Missouri State University.

� Worked 30 years as activities director in Iowa schools, starting at Charter Oak-Ute and Maple Valley in Mapleton before mov-ing to Creston as assistant princi-pal and athletic director in 1982. Coached Charter Oak-Ute foot-ball team to a 31-game winning streak 1969-71.

� Past president of Iowa High School Athletic Directors As-sociation, earning the IHSADA “Golden Eagle” Award, NIAAA Award of Merit and IHSAA Ad-ministrator Award.

� Finalist for National Athletic Director of the Year Award af-ter being awarded the IHSADA State Athletic Director of the Year in 1994. Inducted into the IHSADA Hall of Fame in 2005.

� Served as chairman of the IGHSAU Golf Advisory Board and on the board of the Iowa Football Coaches Association.

� “Parade Master” of Creston parades for many years, organiz-ing entries.

� RAGBRAI co-chairman with Chris Duree when the annual bicycle ride across Iowa had an overnight stay in Creston in 1997.

� Known for his elaborate holi-day lights display at his home on Higbee Street in Creston.

� Began working as a transport officer for Union County Sher-iff’s Department in 2005 after re-tiring from Creston Community Schools.

Olson began a 30-year career as an athletic direc-tor at Charter Oak-Ute, and later did the same at Maple Valley of Maple-ton, before moving to Creston in 1982.

“He had his own growly way, but he’d take young people under his wing and encourage them to stay in school, to do their school work,” said Ron Levine, who was CHS principal when Olson was hired. Together, they organized the move from the exist-ing high school building to the “new” current site on Townline Street during the 1989-90 school year.Special achievement

Olson’s drive for suc-cess in both athletics and sportsmanship reached a pinnacle in 1997, when Creston not only won the boys state basketball championship in Class 3A, but also the sports-manship award. “Oly” broke down in tears with the cheerleaders when the trophy was presented in Veterans Memorial Audi-torium.

“He was so proud, as was I, to win not only the boys basketball tourna-ment, but also the sports-manship award,” said Chris Duree, then princi-pal at CHS. “To win the championship with the highest degree of class, that’s what we wanted for the community, and for our students.”

Duree, now chancellor of Iowa Valley Commu-nity College district (Mar-shalltown and Ellsworth), said Olson had a knack for motivating students who appeared to be slipping through the cracks.

“We did everything in our power to keep kids in school,” Duree said. “Oly had a way of reach-ing out to a lot of differ-ent students. He’d find the connecting point with the student to keep them in school and be success-ful. He was a fatherly, or grandfatherly figure. If they knew somebody

cared about them, a lot of times they’d stay in school.”Behind scenes

His wife, Beth, said many of her husband’s gestures on behalf of kids went unnoticed. As flam-boyant as Olson was when he entered a room, he wasn’t inclined to seek at-tention for guiding a child toward the right path.

“He went to houses to get kids out of bed to go to school,” Beth said. “He felt it was the responsibil-ity of him and the teachers to get every kid an educa-tion, whether they wanted it or not.”

As activities director, there weren’t many lei-surely nights at home.

“He loved every as-pect of it,” Beth said. “He was home maybe on Sunday, and some Wednesday nights. There were a lot of Sat-urdays where, if a kid needed a ride to Coun-cil Bluffs for instrumen-tal music or for speech, and nobody would take them, he would take them. Curt never did anything to get patted on the back.”

Beth said Curt was ap-preciative of his oppor-tunities in life, because

he considered himself a “miracle baby” for hav-ing survived the medical trauma of his infancy. The greatest gifts from his par-ents came from not being coddled, he once told her.

“I remember him telling me how his dad and mom never treated him spe-cial,” Beth said. “They’d make him stretch his legs, do all kinds of things to feel better, because he was expected to help out around the farm like any-one else.”

Curt had a light stroke before retiring, and Beth worried about him. But he wanted to be an activi-ties director for 30 years, a

goal he attained.“He loved the kids, and

said he had the greatest job in the world,” Beth said. “I told him he should quit, but he worried about what would happen to ‘his guys.’ He did everything in life that people told him he couldn’t do, whereas in society now we sit and whine about stuff.

“This man fought every inch of his life to do what he did.”

target e-cigarettes DES MOINES (MCT)

— While smoking ciga-rettes has increasingly fall-en into disfavor nationally, electronic cigarettes have become a concern for some.

Electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes, don’t contain tobacco. Instead, they produce a nicotine va-por the user inhales. That means policies designed to prohibit tobacco use or pos-session, such as those that cover school properties, don’t apply. And it means laws governing age limits on tobacco purchase come into question.

Tom Miller, the Iowa At-torney General, is a signa-tory on a letter sent by the National Association of At-torneys General to the U.S. Food and Drug Administra-tion asking for regulations on e-cigarettes. The letter was signed by 36 state and three territorial attorneys general.

Miller said his concern is that the companies mar-keting the systems may use them as a vehicle to circum-vent laws against tobacco purchases by minors.

“I’m concerned about this product, which is really nothing more than a nico-tine delivery device,” Miller said. “I don’t think any rea-sonable person thinks it’s OK for these companies to sell e-cigarettes to children, which is one of many good reasons why the FDA needs to act.”

Miller also expressed concerns that advertis-ing for the e-cigarettes can be construed as present-ing a safer alternative to cigarettes. Nicotine itself is known to be addictive, he said in a press release, and e-cigarettes are new enough they have yet to face the careful studies that would determine whether they in-clude harmful ingredients.

Sales of e-cigarettes have doubled every year since 2008 and are projected to reach $1.7 billion this year. Prices have fallen as they have become more popular, increasing availability.

Americans say no to another Middle East WarThe likelihood of peace in Syria

remains distant, as the civil war there rages on. But the grim pros-pect of a U.S. strike has been fore-stalled, if only temporarily, pre-venting a catastrophic deepening of the crisis there. The American people stood up for peace, and for once, the politicians listened. Across the political spectrum, citi-zens in the U.S. weighed in against the planned military strike. Mem-bers of Congress, Democrat and Republican, were inundated with calls and emails demanding they vote “no” on any military authori-zation.

The media credits Russian Presi-dent Vladimir Putin with extend-ing a lifeline to President Barack Obama, allowing him a diplomatic way to delay his planned attack. But without the mass domestic public outcry against a military strike, Obama would not have needed, nor would he likely have heeded, an alternative to war.

At center stage was Secretary of State John Kerry, testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Com-mittee on Sept. 4. Anti-war activ-ists from Code Pink sat silently behind him, their hands held high,

painted red, symbolizing blood. Kerry asserted: “Now I remember Iraq. ... Secretary Hagel and I both voted in the United States Senate. Both of us are especially sensitive to never again ask any member of Congress to vote on faulty intelli-gence. And that is why our intelli-gence community took time, that’s why the president took time to make certain of the facts ... in order to scrub and rescrub the evidence and present the facts to the Ameri-can people.”

Days earlier, Kerry used the phrase “we know” close to 30 times in his Aug. 30 case for war against Syria. “So now that we know what we know, the question we must all be asking is what we will do,” Ker-ry said, reminiscent of similar pre-war ramblings of Donald Rums-feld, who actually said: “There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are

known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also un-known unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know.”

“You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time,” Abraham Lincoln fa-mously quipped, “but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” After 12 years of war in Afghani-stan and Iraq, thousands dead, tens of thousands maimed and trillions of dollars spent, the U.S. public won’t take the rehearsed oratory of an appointed official as sufficient grounds for war. Citizens of the United Kingdom weighed in, push-ing their Parliament to vote against a military strike.

What are the facts? The regime of Bashar al-Assad stands accused of a heinous attack using chemi-cal weapons, on August 21, in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta. A United Nations chemical-weapons inspection team arrived in Damas-cus, remarkably, three days before the attack. Its mission was to in-vestigate allegations of chemical weapons use from last spring, in the towns of Khan al-Assal, Sheikh Maqsood and Saraqeb. U.N. Sec-

retary-General Ban Ki-moon re-directed the team to investigate Ghouta, and, after protracted ne-gotiations with the Assad govern-ment, the weapons inspectors were allowed to do their work.

In their 40-page report, the in-spectors summarize “clear and convincing evidence that surface-to-surface rockets containing the nerve agent sarin were used.” They did not say who launched the mis-siles, but they did examine the remnants of several of the rockets used. The team, directed by Swed-ish chemical weapons expert Ake Sellstrom, performed swift and exacting work under difficult cir-cumstances (they were fired on by a sniper on their way to Ghouta).

A war crime was committed in Ghouta. Kerry says “we know” it was Assad. Russian Foreign Minis-ter Sergei Lavrov countered, “We have serious grounds to believe that it was a provocation,” suggest-ing the Syrian rebels staged the attack in order to draw the U.S. military into their fight against the Assad regime.

As a result of this week’s devel-opments, serious progress has been made. Syria has agreed to put its

chemical weapons under interna-tional control. Iran, which strongly supports the Assad regime, has a new president, Hassan Rouhani, who will come to New York next week to address the United Na-tions General Assembly. He is ex-pected to speak on the same day as President Obama. More impor-tantly, Rouhani and Obama may actually speak to each other, the first meeting between U.S. and Ira-nian presidents since 1979.

The terrible, ongoing tragedy in Syria, and the U.S. public’s persis-tent opposition to a military strike, could possibly create an opening for a much broader peace in the Middle East.

Closing of Gits ManufacturingFrom Shawn LangeCreston

I started working as an engineer for Gits Manufacturing Company in 1988. Right out of college, I was as green as they come. The com-pany welcomed me in and put me right to work. We had 55 employ-ees and did $5.5 million in sales.

It was owned by a corporation in Kansas City that pretty much let us run our business. We were man-aged by a lot of locals and very few of them had college degrees. We had one of the highest factory la-bor rates in the area.

Over the years, the company grew and grew. We moved people up from within and hired as much local talent as we could. I remem-

ber one time we put an advertise-ment in the paper for some as-sembly labor and over 200 people showed up to apply. There were cars and people everywhere.

We had the best laborers in the area. Quality was good, delivery was good, and the price was right. At our peak, we did $55 million in sales, had 220 employees in Cres-ton, and exported parts from Cres-ton to Japan, Europe and China.

But things changed when we were bought by one of the 50 larg-est corporations in the U.S. Local talent wasn’t good enough, college degrees mattered more than com-petency, and factory labor rates were too high. Seeing the company grow under a different philosophy

and struggle with the new one, I quit after 19 years of employment. Now, I see the plant is closing as jobs are being moved to China and Mexico.

Companies like Toyota and Honda are building plants in the U.S. and getting as much U.S. made content as possible while U.S. corporations are doing the op-posite. When are U.S. corporations going to figure out that making parts in the country that uses them is the best plan?

My experience at Gits Manufac-turing Company taught me that the people in this area have the right stuff to make a business succeed and grow, even in a global econo-my.

Let’s work together to move library to Lincoln SchoolFrom Lynne SchlahtCreston

I worked at the Adel Public Li-brary for 13 years as assistant direc-tor until I retired in 2012. I have followed the trials and tribulations of upgrading the Gibson Library in Creston. I am amazed that so many people in our town are not willing to support the current plan to relo-cate to Lincoln School.

When I started working at the Adel Public Library in 1999, the library was housed in a cute little building (formerly a church) and had been since the 1920s. We were crammed into a small space that didn’t work for us. The library board, staff, city council and a ma-jority of the townspeople saw a need for a new library.

The city asked the library to raise $500,000 before they would consid-er a bond issue. We accomplished this task within a year without the help of a professional fundraiser. The bond issue vote followed and passed by 72 percent.

In 2006, we opened our doors, and the community has embraced the new Adel Public Library. It was a joy to work there.

What amenities does the Adel

Library have? A community room that seats 54 comfortably at tables, but can be used for larger groups, two smaller meeting rooms, two study rooms, a glass cabinet for displays, a children’s area for pro-gramming, a great space just for teens, nine computers for public use, comfortable seating through-out, a good work space for pro-cessing materials, an outdoor pa-tio space, an area for a continuous book sale and lots of storage. We offer copy, fax and laminating ser-vices, as well. Programming for all ages is available and popular now that we have the space for it. And last, but certainly not least, our collection of books, books on CD, DVDs and magazines has grown, and we have room to expand those collections.

And what does Creston have? A cute, little building – the only li-brary in all of Union County – that is crying for space. Large group programming for the children’s summer reading program should not have to be held at the Method-ist Church. There should be meet-ing rooms. Be assured, they will be used a great deal. There need in be more computers, books, a space for

teens, storage, etc. Let’s face it – there just needs to be more space so future needs may be met.

Some believe that libraries will become a thing of the past They will if we let them. Libraries ev-erywhere will continually need to reinvent themselves as the wants and needs of the public change. E-books and E-readers can co-exist beside traditional books. A library should be the hub of the commu-nity, and in our case, the hub of the county. We have a unique op-portunity to move into an existing building.

Winterset’s library is a perfect example of what can be done with an existing building. Visit the Win-terset Public Library, and see how they accomplished their goal.

Lincoln School is not going to be available forever while we gather $500 here or $1,000 there. Time is wasting. Is it too much to ask that Creston’s industries, businesses and individuals all pull together for a project that will represent the best of this town? I like this quote by Henry Ford: “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress; working together is suc-cess.”

Letters to the editor

Los Angeles streets were packed with Hispanic protestors

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

Pope Francis said the Catholic Church must not focus on gays and abortion Thursday and angered conservatives. It gets worse. He showed a tin-ear for core church beliefs when he said it really does not matter who wins the Notre Dame-Oklahoma game Saturday.

Baltimore Ravens player Jacoby Jones was struck over the head with a champagne bottle by a strip-per in Washington D.C. Sunday. It was for not tipping. No one’s ever again going to believe a United States senator when he says that he cracked his forehead in a car wreck.

Los Angeles streets were packed with Hispanic protestors demanding U.S. citizenship Sun-day. It’s a beautiful culture. Ho-tel ballrooms are packed each weekend for the traditional Mexi-can family party for a girl on her fifteenth birthday called the baby shower.

Germany made history Sunday when German voters elected the first two black men to serve in par-liament. One is is a fifty-year-old chemist and the other is an young actor. It’s proof once again that Breaking Bad is a worldwide hit that’s inspiring copycat casting.

Breaking Bad was clearly the crowd favorite when it won the Emmy Award for Best Dramatic Series. It has a unique story arc.

If you watch Breaking Bad back-wards, it’s about a guy who wins his family’s love by bringing people back to life and uncooking meth.

Michael Douglas won the Emmy for Best actor Sunday four weeks after he separated from Catherine Zeta Jones. It’s been tough on her He announced they were separating after her per-sonal trainer, the gardener, and the pool boy all came down with throat cancer.

Dick Cheney’s rifle malfunc-tioned at a One Shot Antelope Hunt in Wyoming Saturday and the gun didn’t go off. These acci-dents have become chronic with him. In Cheney’s last misfire he he shot his lawyer in the face, and before that he invaded Iraq in-stead of Iran.

President Obama began his U.N. week in New York by meet-ing with Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan. He later led a panel discussion on ways to bolster African nations. President Obama himself was in Africa only two months ago, renewing his birth certificate.

Latham invites Iowa students to youth leadership summit

DES MOINES — Iowa Congressman Tom Latham is inviting high school stu-dents from Iowa’s third Congressional District to attend his annual youth leadership summit Oct. 7.

The summit, which will be held in the House Chamber of the State Capi-tol Building in Des Moines, is a daylong nonpartisan networking and leadership training event.

“This program is a fan-tastic opportunity for Iowa student leaders to learn about the importance of leadership and being a good citizen,” Latham said. “They’ll be able to make connections with their peers from across the southwestern one-fourth of the state and take part in activities designed to help them become the next generation of lead-ers in our state and our country. I’m proud to host this event and excited that it will be taking place in the historic Iowa Capitol Building.”

As in previous years, Mickye Johnson and his team of students from the University of Northern

Iowa will be on hand to work directly with each participant to help de-velop the leadership skill sets that assist students as they determine, develop and achieve their personal goals in high school and be-yond.

Johnson is the director of the University of North-ern Iowa’s Classic Upward Bound Program and is re-garded around Iowa and the nation for his work with countless students helping them develop skills that help them during their high school years and preparing them for college.

The free one-day summit is open to all high school students who live in Iowa’s third Congressional Dis-trict, and preregistration is required.

The program will begin at 9 a.m. Oct. 7th. Students, parents, teachers or guard-ians should contact Mi-chele Mustain in Congress-man Latham’s Des Moines Constituent Services Office for more information or to register via email at: mi-

[email protected] or by telephone at: 515-282-1909.

The deadline to register is Tuesday, and the summit will be open to the first 175 students who register.

The Youth Leader-ship Summit was started by Latham in 2007 with a goal of empowering Iowa’s youths to interact with their government, but also to help mentor the next generation of Iowa’s lead-ers as they look to, and prepare for, their futures. It has evolved into a yearly event.

The third Congressio-nal is comprised of the 16 counties in the southwest corner of the state that in-clude: Adair, Adams, Cass, Dallas, Fremont, Guthrie, Madison, Mills, Montgom-ery, Page, Polk, Pottawat-tamie, Ringgold, Taylor, Union and Warren.

FARMFARM DuPont Pioneer supports Iowa 4-H with nearly $10,000 in seed grants

AMES — Twenty-nine Iowa 4-H clubs have been awarded DuPont Pioneer rural community improve-ment seed grants totaling nearly $10,000. The grants, ranging from $50 to $500 per chapter, will be used to “seed” community improve-ment projects implemented by local 4-H chapters.

Ringgold County Twin River Tornadoes 4-H Club will purchase, engrave and install tiles around the flag-pole at a community build-ing to honor resident veter-ans.

“The DuPont Pioneer grant program allows young people interested in food and agriculture to make a positive difference in their communities while learn-ing valuable life skills,” said Kris Fish Kuhlman, execu-tive director of the Iowa 4-H Foundation. “These grants give 4-H’ers a sense of ap-preciation for the commu-nities where they live, and empowerment to make a difference where they find a need.”

Pioneer supports annual grants to encourage local 4-H clubs in Iowa to coor-dinate and participate in service activities and proj-ects that benefit their com-munities. The grant money is used to cover the cost of labor, expertise and materi-als needed to complete im-provement plans.

“Agriculture’s greatest asset is developing youth with leadership and a vision to influence the future,” said Rob Vincent, farm manager coordinator for DuPont Pio-neer and Iowa 4-H Founda-tion board member. “The community grant program is an opportunity to develop these skills while making a difference on a local level.”

For more information on DuPont Pioneer rural com-munity improvement seed grants visit www.iowa4h-foundation.org.

“Service-learning through 4-H Youth Development takes community service or volunteer projects to the next level by empowering

youth to identify needs in their community, creating a more meaningful experi-ence for youth,” said Bren-da Allen, 4-H youth devel-opment specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. “Through service-learning, youth develop leadership skills and learn that they can make a difference in their communities.”

FFA members compete in 2013 subdistrict soil contest

Learning to evaluate soils is just one of the many op-portunities available to FFA members. Eight Creston FFA members gained expe-rience in developing knowl-edge in soil evaluation by competing in subdistrict soil judging contest held Sept. 18 in Leon, where the team earned second place and Selena Sampson earning top individual.

The contest involved FFA members taking a general knowledge test and evaluat-ing three soil pits. The evalu-ations involved soil conser-vation practices, determining soil texture and surface fea-tures, land capability clas-sifications, the evaluation of current and future manage-ment practices and the suit-ability of the various soils present for non agricultural uses.

The Creston FFA mem-bers competing were: Nick Walsh, Sampson, Jake Mill-er, Chad Lamb Dillon Bai-ley, Kruz Adamson, Allie Findlay, Kiersten Plowman and Cody Tanner.

Dear Heloise: I read your column in The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer newspaper.

My hint is for people who find it expensive and wasteful to buy BAGS of onions, car-rots and stalks of celery when cooking for one or two. Check out the salad bars in grocery stores, where you can buy smaller amounts of what you need. No waste, and all the items are already washed and clean. You save money, and it is convenient, too. — Sylvia C., Parma, Ohio

This is a “delicious” hint. You are so right. Quick, lots of variety, and already cleaned and chopped! — Heloise

SEND A GREAT HINT TO:

HeloiseP.O. Box 795000San Antonio, TX 78279-

5000Fax: 210-HELOISEEmail: Heloise@Heloise.

com SALAD BARDear Heloise: When I have

guests over for a meal, I put salad ingredients on a counter near the table: a large bowl of lettuce, vegetables and other ingredients in individual con-tainers, bottles of dressing, vinegar and olive oil, salt, pepper and salad plates. The

guests love being able to make their own salads and even go back for seconds. — Helen H., Baton Rouge, La.

KIWI BERRIESDear Readers: A new fruit

is in town: kiwi berries, a cousin to the kiwi! They are like the kiwi fruit you are used to, but different! The inside of the fruit is a green color and has a texture similar to tradi-tional kiwi. These little jewels have a smooth outer skin, do not need to be peeled and can be popped into your mouth like grapes!

They grow on a vine that takes six years to mature and provide a marketable harvest. There are farms now in the U.S. (Oregon and Pennsylva-nia) growing the fruit.

Found in specialty grocery stores, the berries should be kept refrigerated and dry, but let warm to room tempera-ture before eating. If you see these berries, grab them fast, because they are available only for a couple of months,

September and October! — Heloise

LESS MESSDear Heloise: When you

make jam or jelly, the mix-ture has to be at a full, rolling boil. The mixture cannot be stirred down well, because it splatters. I had a long wooden spoon to stir it, but I would al-ways end up with burns on my hands and jam on my clothes.

My neighbor suggested get-ting a paint-stirring stick. My son bought me two of these sticks, which I ran through the dishwasher before using. They work awesome! I can now stand off to the side of the boiling pot. It still splat-ters, but it is not splattering on me. — Lynn C. in Alabama

EASY ALMOND PEEL-ING

Dear Heloise: I had to re-move the skins from about 2 pounds of almonds. I dis-covered that after blanching them in hot water and drain-ing them, if I put about half a cup at a time on a clean cotton dish towel and then vigorously rubbed them, the skins were either removed completely or came off much easier. Boy, it saved me a lot of time. — R.T., Colorado Springs, Colo.

Panthers finish second, third at home meet

McDermott wins individual titleBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

The Creston boys cross country team found itself right in the middle of a tight team race in the Class A boys varsity race here Tues-day at the Creston Invita-tional, battling with Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson and Shenandoah for the top position.

Meanwhile, with the Win-terset girls running away with the Class A team title, Creston and Glenwood were dueling for second.

The boys ended up sec-ond, just five points behind Thomas Jefferson, and 14 points ahead of third-place Shenandoah.

The Panther girls finished third, two points behind Glenwood for second place.

Creston also won the JV girls team title and finished third in the JV boys team race.

And sophomore Coo-per McDermott won the individual title in Class A,

making for a very successful home meet for the Panthers.Boys race

It quickly became appar-ent there was going to be a three-team battle in the Class A boys team stand-ings, as the lead pack and chase pack early in the race were filled by runners from Creston, Thomas Jefferson and Shenandoah.

Eldon Warner and Brian Collinson of Thomas Jeffer-son bolted to an early lead, followed closely by Cres-ton’s McDermott and Jay Wolfe and Red Oak’s Josh Sunberg.

Meanwhile, a pack of five Shenandoah runners wasn’t far behind.

McDermott sat back and moved up th ro u gh -out the race, tak-ing the lead on the back side of the golf c o u r s e ,

where he and Warner bat-tled back and forth until McDermott broke contact running around the eighth green.

McDermott won the race going away in 16:52, becom-ing the first Creston boy to win the home meet since 2006. Warner crossed in sec-ond at 17:16.

Wolfe held steady in fifth place, and freshman Ben Irr passed several runners mak-ing the final climb to finish sixth in 18:03. Senior Garret Taylor crossed in 11th place at 18:18.

Thomas Jefferson put three in the top seven and four in the top 15, with its fifth runner coming across in 18th place. Shenandoah placed its top five in places eight, nine, 14, 16 and 17.

Isaiah Foster came in fifth for Creston, running 19:32 for 27th place.

Creston head coach Pat Schlapia knew it would be close in the final standings.

Scar, Larsen claim Class B titles at Creston InviteBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

Nodaway Valley sopho-more Destiny Scar and Mount Ayr senior Noah Larsen both posted domi-nant victories in the Class B individual races at the Creston Invitational on Tuesday.

Scar, who didn’t back away from the Class A competition, got out to a good start before the girls race was called back to the line.

She didn’t let it bother her, however, as she got out well again, taking the early lead.

Scar held that position through the early part of the race before Winterset’s Dominique Fleming over-took her around the mile marker.

Moving back onto the Crestmoor Golf Club golf course, Fleming began to open up her lead on Scar.

But, as the leaders made their turn back to the east toward the final climb, Scar began to close in on Flem-ing, and the Nodaway Val-ley sophomore was able to overtake the Winterset ju-nior in the final stretch to claim the overall individual title.

Scar, ranked 11th in Class 1A, crossed the line in 16:30, winning Class B by :33 over second place Emma Harper of East Union. Fleming won Class A in 16:34.

Harper is the 24th-r a n k e d runner in Class 1A. M o u n t Ayr junior A d r i a n Richards, r a n k e d 16th in Class 1A, f i n i s h e d fifth in 17:18.

Lenox’s Rebekah Kro-ese finished 11th overall in 19:23. Southwest Valley was led by Steph Shuler in

15th place, running 19:52.The Timberwolves fin-

ished third in the team standings with 57 points, 10 points back of Bedford for second. Adair-Casey claimed the team title with 36 points. Earlham, ranked 15th in Class 1A, ran with just four runners and did not factor into the team standings.

Mount Ayr finished fourth in Class B with 85 points.Larsen wins

Mount Ayr’s Larsen also took advantage of the level of competition provided by the runners in Class A.

He took a different ap-proach to the race than did Scar, as Larsen sat back

during the first mile and a half of the course before making a push to move for-ward.

“I guess for the first mile and a half, I was kind of sit-ting back and worked my way into third at about the 2-mile mark,” Larsen said. “And then kind of battled it out for second for a while. I passed him (Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson’s Eldon Warner), then he passed me and eventually on the uphill, I got him again and finished it off.”

Larsen held off Warner down the stretch, as both ran 17:16. He won the Class B race by nearly :50, as

Spartans secure road sweepBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

OTTUMWA — South-western picked up its sec-ond victory of the season over Division I community college Indian Hills in a road sweep Tuesday, 25-21, 25-15, 25-20.

The Spartans improved to 15-7 overall, while drop-ping Indian Hills to 12-15.

“We played some great

volleyball tonight against a good Indian Hills team,” said SWCC coach Melissa Blessington. “We served aggressive and also played some great defense tonight. We had some long rallies and we were able to win those rallies. That is show-ing that this team is getting better every match.”

Mel Mangrum led a bal-anced net attack with eight kills and seven blocks. Ash-ley Strong served 21-of-22 with five aces and Alex Duffy was perfect in 14

serves wit a pair of aces.The Spartans hit the road

again today, facing North-east Nebraska at Norfolk, before returning home Fri-day in a 6:30 p.m. match against Ellsworth.

Attacks (kills) — Mel Mangrum 8, Jenna Casey 7, Shelby Sullivan 7, Allyson Kocour 6.

No. 3 Knights pound 44 kills in sweepBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

The night started off with some intimidation by the state’s third-ranked (Class 3A) team.

Five of the Carroll Kue-mper Catholic starters in-troduced for Tuesday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference volleyball match here were seniors. None of the Pan-thers were seniors.

Then, the Knights squad that reached the state tour-nament semifinals last year bolted to a 7-0 lead in game one. A complicating factor for the Panthers was that junior middle hitter Nata-lie Mostek was nursing a sprained ankle from Sun-day’s Powder Puff football game, part of the week’s homecoming activities.

But, Creston then seemed to settle in and actually out-scored Kuemper 8-7 during

the next stretch. Senior hit-ters Paige Overmohle and Claire Ludwig then took control down the stretch as the Knights won 25-13.

Close setCreston had several one-

point leads in game two but fell at the end, 25-22, and Kuemper’s Hannah Macke went on a nine-point service run in game three to help

“We definitely did not play our best volleyball to-night,” SW Valley coach Lindsay Wetzel said. “We were slow on defense and didn’t move our feet well enough on serve receive. We had a negative hitting efficiency in games one and two, and you aren’t going to win many sets with that. When we were running our offensive sets, things were going well and we were put-ting the ball down.”

Serving was also a down-fall for the Timberwolves, finishing 84 percent at the

line.Raiderettes 0-3

AFTON — Mount Ayr went 0-3 at the East Union Invitational Saturday.

The Raiderettes started slowly in a 21-17, 21-15 loss to East Mills. Leah Klejch had three kills, Blair Glendenning had eight digs and Shelbie Greene served 6-6.

Winterset defeated Mount Ayr 21-10, 21-16, but Blair Glendenning had a big match for the Raiderettes. She had four kills, four digs, went 3-3 serving and 9-10 on serve re-ceive.

Coach Tori Braby said the Raiderettes played some of their best volleyball of the season as tournament cham-pion Shenandoah managed a 20-22, 21-16, 15-11 victory.

“We talked a lot about how to compete on the floor and we competed at our full potential,” Braby said. “Our serve receive was 85 percent, and we had been averaging around 60 percent.”

Kelcie Shields was 11-11 s e r v i n g with eight kills, five b l o c k s and three digs in the match for M o u n t Ayr.

Continued from page 9A

the Knights complete the sweep, 25-16.

Kuemper improved to 17-1 overall and 4-1 in the Hawkeye 10, having lost only to Class 4A top-ranked Harlan. Creston slips to 10-6 and 2-3.

But, there were stretches — particularly in the tight second set — where the Panthers went toe-to-toe at the net with the taller, more experienced Knights.

“I feel much better about this match than I did against St. Albert,” Creston coach Polly Luther said. “I felt we played harder, and with a healthy Mostek, who knows what might have happened if we’re able to finish that second game? But near the end of that game it was re-ally getting tight on her. As a middle hitter you have to get side to side all the time, and that was hard for her.”

There was a big differ-ence in the competitive na-ture of the match after be-ing blanked during the first seven points of the night.

“Some of that I chalk up to inexperience,” Luther said. “Just the fear of, you know, it’s Kuemper and here they come. You heard them announce their start-ers as senior-senior-senior-senior. I was cheering that from the sideline, because one time when I looked up at our team I saw one junior and five sophomores out there.”

After the close second set, Creston was contending again in game three at 11-11. But that’s when Macke went on her service run. Soon, it was a 21-11 bulge and the Panthers were not able to cut into the gap.

The Knights had a total of 44 kills in three sets, led by Ludwig with 15, Becker with 12 and Overmohle with 11. Hannah Dentlinger had two blocks. All of those players are seniors except Over-mohle, a sophomore.

Sophomore Sydney Dun-phy had six kills to lead Cres-ton, with M o s t e k and soph-o m o r e A n g i e Sorensen each tal-lying five. Mostek and So-rensen had three blocks each.

Jami Sickels served 11-of-11 and Haylee LaMasters was 10-10. Alli Thomsen had a team-high eight digs.

Kuemper coach Keith Stickrod said his team’s ex-perience played a role in finishing the close sets. But he sees promise in the young Panther squad.

“Creston is definitely im-proving,” he said. “You can see it. They’re running their offense a little better, serve receive was really good to-night. They are scrappier than in the past.”

For Luther, a break from competition until Oct. 3 against Lewis Central at home is an opportunity for injuries to heal, especially Mostek’s.

“I told Natalie, if this was going to happen, it couldn’t come at a much better time,” Luther said. “This break is golden for us.”

Junior varsityCreston’s JV captured the

first set, 25-16, but Kuemper rebounded to take the next two, 25-20, 15-12. It was only the second loss of the season for Creston (8-2).

“I thought our girls looked pretty sharp tonight,” said Creston coach Jessie Mc-Clellan. “I know a loss may not reflect that, but we were doing good things against a good team. Kuemper has a strong program and we hung right with them. To me, that shows we have girls who are working hard and improv-ing. That’s all I can ask for.”

Audrey Fyock was 10-10 in serve receive for Creston and 10-11 in digs.

“Audrey looked great to-night,” McClellan said. “She had a hand on everything.”Freshmen

A strong Kuemper fresh-man team swept Creston 25-9, 25-5, 25-14, 25-20.

“That is a very good fresh-man team,” Creston coach Mike McCabe said. “We were a lot better today on serve receive, getting more balls up to our setter. Still, we’re not where we want to be. But it was much better.”

Serving leaders for Cres-ton were Katie Powers 7-7, Cammy Rutherford 5-5, Cydney Seeley 7-8 and Mi-chelle Isoas 4-4.

The Panthers are back in action Saturday in their own tournament.

Earlham’s Alan Schmidt fin-ished second in 18:05.

For Larsen, who is in his first year of being a full-time cross country runner after doing dual-sport participa-tion last year, this was a good opportunity for him to gain experience. It was only his second race of the season because of meets being can-celled.

“This last week I was a little disappointed,” he said about a meet being can-c e l l e d . “Practice was get-ting a little boring, so it’s good to get out there and compete and see where I’m at since I’ve been feeling good and ready to race. It was good to get out here and get some good experience against some good competition.”

Larsen’s teammate Jack Jones finished fifth overall, running 19:23.

Nodaway Valley’s young runners also competed well, placing four in the top 10.

Brayten Funke led the Wolverines with a third place finish in 18:34. Heath Down-ing placed fourth in 18:57. Shane Breheny crossed in ninth and Nathan Venteicher finished 10th.

The Wolverines finished second in the team stand-ings, just four points behind Earlham, 42-46. Earlham is ranked 14th in Class 1A and Nodaway Valley is ranked 15th.

Lane Peterson led the way for Southwest Valley, fin-ishing seventh in 19:28. He paced the Timberwolves to a third place team finish with 80 points.

Orient-Macksburg finished fourth in the team standings with 94 points, one point ahead of Mount Ayr.

Jesse Johnson led the Bull-dogs, running 20:22 for 16th. Cameron Walker finished 18th in 20:46.

Lenox was led by Jacob Bolinger, who ran 20:56 for 19th place.

“We knew going in it was going to be a tossup between TJ, Shenandoah and us, and we’ve had some friendly ri-valries with those teams,” he said. “If we had that race again, who knows? The standings could be different.”

Kruz Adamson finished 40th in 20:01 for Creston, while Zack Peppmeier ran 20:21 for 46th place.

“It kind of stinks that we lost a close one, but all the guys have been working hard this week,” McDermott said. “We were close. We wanted it.”Girls

In the girls race, it was quickly apparent that Win-terset was going to run away with the team title.

Winterset won with 43 points, as Glenwood took second with 92 points and

Creston came in third at 94.The Huskies took the top

three spots individually, with Creston junior Maria Mo-stek coming in fifth in 17:01. Dominique Fleming won in 16:34.

“Maria probably didn’t have her best of starts,” Schlapia said. “She’s been back and forth with those Winterset girls, but seeing (Tiffany) Williams of Atlan-tic for the first time, Williams beat her, but we know Maria can be ahead of her. She’s proven that. I think this race will be a good motivating fac-tor for Maria.”

Taylor Briley finished 11th in 17:49, closing the time gap on Mostek. Maddie Skarda placed 22nd in 18:41 and Jes-sica Beatty crossed in 24th in 18:48, giving the Panthers four varsity medalists in both the girls race and the boys race.

Madison Hance scored in 32nd place, running 19:08 and Jenna Hayes (34th) and Raegen Smith (37th) com-pleted what has been a re-volving door in spots three through seven for the Pan-thers so far this year.

“Our three through seven girls have been fluctuating a lot,” Schlapia said. “We re-ally need to focus on moving up and cutting the gap. We still need to work on cutting down that gap on Taylor.”

JVThe Creston girls JV team

put six runners in the top 10 to easily win the team com-petition with 23 points. Ra-chel Shepherd led the way, finishing second in 19:21, missing moving up to varsity by just :02.

Brant Hudson paced the Creston boys JV team with a second place finish, run-ning 20:09, which was good enough to move him into the varsity lineup for Monday’s meet at Orient-Macksburg.

Also on the schedule Tues-day was the Creston Little Kids Race, which featured 46 participants, and parents’ night for the seniors.

Seniors honored with their families were Kruz Adam-son, Zack Peppmeier, Garret Taylor, Michael Walsh, Evan Nielsen, Jacob Geary, Daniel Scott, Jeremy Stoll and Itzay-anna Rubio.

Schlapia said it was nice to see so many former runners and managers from previ-ous teams out supporting the teams, as well as all the mem-bers of the community.

“I want to thank all the people who helped volun-teer, and also the people who came out and cheered all the teams on. It was nice to have all the support that was out there.”
