Ag land assessments soar for 2014 property taxes By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA staff [email protected]

Creston’s “architectural gem” may soon get a face-lift.

If the assessment is less than 5 percent above or below the study, no adjust-ments are made.
“It goes according to the sales price,” Haner said. “It
is allowed to be at 95 per-cent to 105 percent. Since 2007, we have hit right in that area.”
Equalization contributes to an even distribution of state aid and more equally distrib-utes the total tax burden.

“It was a fact-finding visit. We also found an old set of building plans, and he cop-ied those before he left.”
Coen said he will return to Creston at least once more for a follow-up observation of the building. He will then prepare a facility condition report and summary of tasks
needed to be completed at the building.
Coen is expected to pres-ent that report to the Cres-ton City Council 45 to 60 days from now. City officials fully expect this project to be expensive, and that’s why they are asking for a cost summary now, so renova-tions can be phased in over the next four to five years.

Dear Readers: Wow! Are my readers super! A read-er had a problem: How to FRAME A PUZZLE? Here are just a few of the hints you shared:
Elaine in Alabama wrote: “You can find tons of good frames, all kinds and all sizes, at thrift stores. Some will be empty, and some will have pictures in them. Just take out the pictures. They will be very inexpensive.” (I agree! — He-loise)
Frank in Arkansas wrote: “Find a carpenter, as they al-ways have a lot of scraps left over. They have saws and could cut pieces at the end of the day. Buy glue at the hardware store to finish. Use books as weights to hold piec-es in place while glue sets.”
Marillyn in Texas wrote: “After assembling, coat the front of the puzzle with glue (Heloise here: They make special glue for puzzles, or use any that dries clear) and slide a squeegee or plastic ruler over the puzzle to work the glue into puzzle pieces. It will dry clear. After it has dried, turn the puzzle over and re-peat the process on the back. Cut a piece of poster board to fit, and glue in place.”
Marie, via email, wrote: “Picture frames do not come in the sizes that puzzles are
made in. Buy a frame that is larger and use pretty paper or pieces of fabric to cover the edges where the backing shows.”
All of these are great hints! Thanks for writing in! — He-loise
SEND A GREAT HINT TO:
HeloiseP.O. Box 795000San Antonio, TX 78279-
5000Fax: 1-210-HELOISEEmail: Heloise@Heloise.
com PLEASE PRINTDear Heloise: When my
husband passed, there were so many friends and family who signed the guest book. How-ever, I couldn’t read 90 per-cent of the names. Sign your name, but also print it. — Sue, via fax
Sue, I am sorry for your loss, and you are so kind to write with this hint. This time in anyone’s life is difficult enough. One should not have to worry about trying to read
an unreadable name. Also, with sympathy cards, please include your last name — there are a lot of Johns and Janes out there. — Heloise
TRAVEL HINTDear Heloise: Whenever
we travel on a getaway trip via car, we appreciate the motels that accommodate us with a coffee machine and coffee. But for some reason, the wa-ter from the tap doesn’t taste right. Now when we travel, we take our own bottled wa-ter, and our coffee brews de-liciously. — Sally F. in Texas
Love the coffee machines in a hotel room, but you are right! Sometimes the water is just fine; other times, in some cities or older hotels, well, it’s not. — Heloise
PRETTY PORCH LIGHTDear Heloise: My street
does not have much light ex-cept porch lights. To help guests find my house when-ever I have a get-together, I change the light bulb in the porch light to a different color, like blue or green.
When I give directions, I tell people to look for the house with the blue porch light. It helps them find my house more easily. — Olive in Or-lando, Fla.

Female photographers become ‘part of landscape’ WASHINGTON (MCT)
— National Geographic, the magazine that showcases the world’s best photography, is recognizing the women be-hind many of those images with a landmark exhibit, “Women of Vision,” that opened Thursday.
Each of the 11 female pho-tojournalists, selected for the extraordinary breadth and depth of their storytelling, has a space in the National Geographic Museum for her unique view, covering every-thing from Texas teenagers struggling with identity to child brides in Yemen to the indigenous Sami people, rein-deer herders of Scandinavia.
The exhibit of 100 pho-tographs, part of the maga-zine’s 125th anniversary celebration, opened to over-flow crowds. At least part of the reaction, officials said, was due to tourists looking for alternatives to the shut-tered Smithsonian museums, closed because of the partial government shutdown.
During an evening pro-gram in the National Geo-graphic Society’s audito-rium, all 11 photographers discussed their work in a session led by NBC News re-porter Ann Curry.
The exhibit will be in Washington through March 9. It then begins a three-year, five-city tour, with the first stop March 29 at the Mint Museum in Charlotte, N.C. The entire exhibition is sponsored by PNC Financial Group.
“Each photographer has a distinct eye,” said Kathryn Keane, the vice president of National Geographic Exhi-bitions. “In reviewing pho-tos for the magazine’s 125th anniversary, we were struck by how many of the photo-graphs were done by women photojournalists. They have all captured the world in a unique way.”
Weston Andress, the PNC regional president for west-ern Carolina, said in an in-terview that the bank’s sup-port for the arts was part of its connection to the com-munities it served, especially female customers.
“It’s definitely a fit for PNC,” he said.
Amy Toensing, one of the featured shooters, sat beneath a photograph of herself in the 19-foot square filled with her work and talk-ed about some of the striking images.
Her photo “Women on
Jersey Shore” pictures a group of older women splashing around the water, having a wonderful time.
“Why were people so obsessed with the Jersey Shore?” Toensing said she wondered when she got the assignment, which was years before the reality show of the same name. Invited to swim with the women, with whom she became friendly, Toensing said, “That swim was where I got it — why they loved the Jersey Shore. I rely a lot on my subjects to tell the story.”
In a photo from the other side of the world, she cap-tured another sensation: the stress of a years-long drought on a family in the Australian Outback. A pretty young girl is pulling her blond hair back from her face, her eyes scrunched as the sand stings her eyes. In the mirror of the pickup, her father is pulling her brother out of the back, and everywhere there is a brown vastness.
“I wanted to put a human face on the drought,” said Toensing, who took the shot from inside the truck. “I was along, literally and figura-tively, for the ride.”
Waiting and gaining the trust of their subjects can take days, months or even longer, and Keane said that women had a special abil-ity to connect with other women, especially in societ-ies in the Middle East, where there’s limited contact be-tween men and women who aren’t related.
“I spend a lot of time get-ting to know my subjects,” Toensing said. “My hope is to have that show high in my imagery.”
Kitra Cahana, at 25 one of the younger photographers in the show, left home at 16 to be-gin her photographic career. By 21 she had an internship at National Geographic that took her to the mountains of Venezuela to shoot a religious cult. She spent weeks among them and captured their an-nual sacred rituals, including a man jumping through fire, an image that’s alarming and somehow transcendent, since the viewer knows he lives.
In Texas, Cahana had the assignment of being “embed-ded” in a loud and vibrant public high school, a world away from her conservative Jewish upbringing, to learn about how the teenage brain works.
“As a photojournalist, this is what we do. We em-bed ourselves in the lives of people with vastly differ-ent cultures, vastly different value systems,” she said, sit-ting among her photographs. “What I’m looking for is an intimate relationship with the subject so I can be there when the intimate thing hap-pens. It requires being part of the landscape.”
Cahana went to class in the Austin high school and after 10 weeks was accepted as “NGeo photo girl.” Her picture of two girls getting their tongues pierced depicts a rite of passage and a sign of acceptance in teen society.
“It takes being a tabula rasa” — a blank slate — she said of taking photographs, “without a judgment or val-ue system.”
Her experience has stayed with her. “A lot of the world’s history was made by teenagers,” she said.
Asked where she lives, Ca-
hana said, “I don’t live any-where.” She has her back-pack, sleeping bag, laptop and camera, always ready for the next — as she puts it — adventure.
Erika Larsen, another photographer, spent several years getting to know the Sami people of Northern Eu-rope, above the Arctic Circle in Norway and Sweden. In the process, Larsen, who’s of Norwegian descent, learned the language of the Sami and came to appreciate their handling of the reindeer on the tundra that’s their liveli-hood.
“I worked as a housekeep-er for one family so I was able to take photographs,” Larsen said.
She sat in front of one of her enlarged photographs, of a charming teenage girl, Ella-Li, with white-blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a plaid scarf that’s emblematic of the Sami.
“There is a light and dark sense of the Sami,” Larsen said. “She represented the lighter side.”
Her goal in her photojour-nalism: “I look for the more silent time that can be cre-ated.”
The photographers want their images to speak for themselves, and they range from Diane Cook’s haunt-ing landscapes to Beverly Joubert’s gasp-inducing close-ups of leopards to Jodi Cobb’s groundbreaking work documenting 21st-cen-tury slavery.

According to data from TrueCar.com, in 2012 the average new car cost $30,500. That’s a consider-able expense, especially at a time when fuel costs remain high and cost of living con-tinues to rise.
Because new cars have become so expensive, more and more vehicle own-ers are looking for ways to extend the life of their ve-hicles. The longer a car can stay on the road, the better an investment that vehicle becomes. Fortunately, there are several steps vehicle owners can take that should ensure their vehicles stay on the road for years to come.
• Scale back on short trips. The toll cold starts take on a vehicle can add up over time. When a car is started, condensation builds up in the vehicle’s exhaust system. On longer trips, that condensation will gradu-ally evaporate. However, on short trips, that conden-sation often does not have enough time to evaporate, and over time too many short trips will lead to an accumulation of water in
the muffler that can lead to rust and rust holes on the muffler. Short trips also can negatively affect gas mile-age. When possible, leave your car at home on trips into town when you can just as easily walk or ride a bicy-
cle. Over time, reducing the amount of short trips you take in your car will greatly reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and improve your fuel efficiency as well.
• Stick to the manufactur-er’s recommended mainte-
nance schedule. Adhering to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule serves many pur-poses, including improving the its durability and pro-tecting various components, including its cooling sys-tem and drivetrain. While many manufacturers used to recommend changing a vehicle’s oil every 3,000 miles, many of today’s new-er automobiles need their oil changed less frequently. Check your owner’s manual for manufacturer recom-mendations regarding oil changes, and don’t forget to replace the oil filter when changing your vehicle’s oil.
• Pay attention to brake pads. Brake pads that are allowed to wear down can cause damage to the brakes’ rotors and calipers. That damage can prove costly and make things harder on your vehicle. Keep an eye on your vehicle’s brake pads, which are far less ex-pensive to replace than ro-tors and calipers, and do not allow them to wear down to metal.
• Keep your tires prop-erly inflated. Tires that are
under-inflated will nega-tively impact your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. In addition, the tires’ life expectancy is reduced considerably when tires are not properly inflat-ed. Routinely check your tire pressure, especially if you drive a lot, and keep tires inflated at the pressure recommended in your ve-hicle’s owner’s manual.
• Be mindful when filling up your tank. Many people do not pay much attention to their surroundings when pulling into the filling sta-tion. But when you fill up can impact your car’s life expectancy. Perhaps the worst time to fill your tank is when the fuel tanker is in the gas station refilling the underground tanks. That’s because the process of fill-ing the underground tanks can stir up sediment that had settled at the bottom of those tanks. If that sedi-ment finds its way into your vehicle’s gas tank, it can clog filters and fuel injectors and negatively affect the ve-hicle’s performance. So un-less your car is running on empty, avoid refilling its gas
tank when the tanker is still in the station.
• Take care of your ve-hicle’s interior, too. Caring for a car is not just about be-ing good to what’s under the hood. Caring for the car’s interior will not necessarily impact its performance, but a well-kept interior will im-prove how you look at your vehicle and how much you enjoy driving it. The lon-ger you enjoy driving your vehicle, the longer you are likely to keep it. Preserve the vehicle’s door and win-dow seals; clean the dash-board, including the gauges, vacuum the floor mats; and wipe down the vehicle’s in-terior, whether it’s cloth or leather. Keeping up the ap-pearance of the car’s inte-rior will make the vehicle more enjoyable to drive and increase its value at resale.
Simple ways to extend the life of your vehicle
Keeping a vehicle’s interior clean can make it more enjoy-able to drive while encouraging owners to keep their cars for longer periods of time.
Winter weather is just around the corner, leaving some drivers wondering if their two-wheel-drive ve-hicles can handle roads cov-ered in snow and ice. Now is the time people flock to car and truck dealerships to trade in their cars for something with a little more power and traction and also to take advantage of end-of-season pricing. When faced with an array of vehicles boasting four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive, con-sumers often wonder about the differences between the two options or if there is any difference at all. Though similar, four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive are not quite the same.
Four-wheel-drive sys-tems, often referred to as 4WD, trace their origins to the late 1800s, while all-wheel-drive, or AWD, did not arrive until the late
1970s, when an AWD sys-tem was used on an Audi vehicle for rally racing. Now many cars and trucks come with 4WD or AWD, partic-ularly crossovers and SUVs.
Both drive systems en-gage all four wheels at the same time to provide more traction. On AWD systems, the powering of the wheels is automatic and usually handled by the electronic system of the car. Some ve-hicles drive in two-wheel-drive, but then engage AWD when sensors detect a need for more traction and maneuverability. When operating 4WD vehicles, drivers may have to manu-ally engage the system. True 4WD uses a transfer case mounted by the rear of the transmission. A button or selector lever on older mod-el SUVs would switch the vehicle from 2WD to 4WD. Unlike in AWD systems,
the front and rear axles are locked together in 4WD sys-tems.
Four-wheel-drive systems are better for off-roading, rock-climbing and driving through mud and water. In-dividuals who participate in many off-road recreation-al activities will find that 4WD, especially in vehicles with more gears, is more ef-fective and provides better traction. All-wheel-drive provides stability, largely on
roadways, and enables the vehicle to modify the level of power to either the front or rear wheels to improve
traction as needed. All-wheel-drive is adequate for many drivers and situations.

Diagnosing a leaky carVery often drivers find
that the seats or the mats below their feet are damp or downright sopping wet. But unless a window or sunroof was left open dur-ing a rainstorm, drivers may find it difficult to deci-pher why their vehicles are suddenly soaked.
Unfortunately, when a vehicle’s interior is wet, that could be a sign of a sig-nificant problem, one that can gradually worsen over time. Wetness can cause electrical components or metal structures in the car to rot, and a soggy interior may eventually be over-come by mold. It is best to find out what is causing the leak as soon as pos-sible and have the problem fixed just as quickly.
Finding the source of a leak is not always easy. Sometimes drivers can lo-cate it themselves and then fix the problem on their own, while more serious problems might need to be handled by a professional. But it is best to assess the situation before booking an appointment with your mechanic.
Cars can spring a leak for a variety of reasons. Leaks from systems under the hood, as well as rain-water or water from wash-
ing the car, can infiltrate the interior if seals around doors and/or windows are broken or gaskets are worn out. Figuring out which type of liquid is entering your vehicle can help you determine what’s behind the leak.
A clear, slippery liq-uid under the seats may be indicative of a leak in the brake fluid reservoir. Brake fluid is a liquid used in the braking system to apply hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to the calipers to the pads against the wheel drums. If you discover brake fluid, check the master cylinder or the clutch master cylin-der to see if there is a leak or spillover of the fluid.
Coolant also can leak under the dashboard and into the foot wells of a car. Coolant is a sticky, green and sweet-smelling fluid, and a coolant leak could mean that a heater core or hose in the cooling system is leaking. In such instanc-es, hoses may need to be
replaced.Some vehicles have wa-
ter diverters on the sides of their windshields to make sure water flows off of the windshield when the wip-ers are in use. Also, the trough where the wipers rest should have a sealant that prevents water from entering at the base of the windshield. Over time, both can wear out and may need to be replaced and re-sealed. Try sitting in the car on a dry day and spraying a hose on the windshield. See if any water eventually makes it inside of the car. If it does, the windshield is likely the reason your vehi-cle’s interior is getting wet.
A clogged drain in a vehicle’s heating, ventila-tion and air conditioning system is one of the more common causes of interior water damage. If the drain is clogged, condensation from the system cannot drain from the tube. In such instances, water backs up into the system and can actually blow out of the car
vents or elsewhere in the vehicle, forming a pool on the floor of the car. Leaves or debris can cause a blockage. If excess water is left in the HVAC system, it can damage the blower motor. Also, a faulty seal that is located between the HVAC case and the firewall of the vehicle may cause water to leak into the passenger compart-ment under the carpet.
In some cases, clean-ing blocked drains in a vehicle’s HVAC system may be as simple as blow-ing compressed air through the vents or using a wire to clear out leaves or dirt. Other times it may be hard to access the leaks, and such instances are often best left to a mechanic.
The causes of leaks in a car are not always so easy to diagnose. But it is im-portant to figure out where the water is coming from early on to minimize the damage water can do to your vehicle. After taking a vehicle through the car wash, drivers may
notice a leak inside the car.

Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen column feature brought to you by Hammer Medical Supply of CrestonDr. Oz and Dr. Roizen column feature brought to you by Hammer Medical Supply of Creston
Good news for the future King George (that’s Kate and William’s little prince) and all the other princes and princesses out there! More of your moms are breast-feeding you during your first hours of arrival and for months to come. That has health benefits for you and your mom, as well as family finances and society in gen-eral.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention re-ports that 77 percent of U.S. moms are breastfeeding for the first six months — up from 71 percent in 2000. The CDC credits mothers’ growing awareness of the benefits, as well as programs that bring a newborn into contact with mom within the first five minutes after birth (it seems this encourages the child to express the nat-ural impulse to breastfeed). The rate of breastfeeding after six months also is up, from 35 percent in 2000 to 49 percent in 2010; and after 12 months, from 16 percent to 27 percent.
The benefits to baby? A stronger immune system. Breastfed babies are bet-ter able to ward off ear and gastrointestinal infections and some types of dermati-tis. They also grow up with a lower risk for Type 2 diabe-tes, asthma and obesity.
Mommy benefits? You’ll lower your weight and your risk for Type 2 diabetes, as well as postpartum depres-sion, hypertension, heart at-tack, and breast and ovarian cancers.
Then there’s the health-care benefits! In the U.S., breastfeeding saves around $860 million annually be-cause of reduced medical problems for babies and moms, and that doesn’t in-
clude what’s saved at home by not having to buy for-mula.
OF ALL THE GALL (STONES, THAT IS)
In an episode of “Friends,” Joey is passing a gallstone while Phoebe is giving birth to triplets. Their yowls of pain are pretty sim-ilar (Joey’s might be a bit louder). That’s how painful passing a large gallstone can be.
Gallstones develop (80 percent of the time) because cholesterol in the bile, which is produced in your liver and stored in your gallbladder, causes the formation of pel-lets that range in size from a speck to a golf ball. When they block a gallbladder’s bile duct, they trigger excru-ciating pain on the right side of the abdomen. Left un-treated, obstructive stones can cause jaundice, fever, even death.
More than 25 million North Americans contend with gallstones — twice as many women as men. There are 1 million new cases ev-ery year. In fact, there’s a good possibility that every-one has gallstones, but only a small percentage cause problems.
The go-to diagnostic tool is ultrasound, and to put an end to an attack, the stones can be extracted via lapa-roscope. If you have two or more attacks, you may need to have your gallbladder re-moved. Fortunately, your digestive system can work pretty well without it, if you follow the doctor’s dietary
advice.Good news? You can
avoid problem gallstones by keeping your cholester-ol in check, maintaining a healthy weight (lose weight slowly if you’re on a diet; rapid weight loss can trig-ger stone formation), walk-ing 10,000 steps a day and avoiding the Five Food Fel-ons, especially fried food. If you can eat fried food with-out pain, you probably don’t have gallstones.
BREAKING THE CODE: NUTRITION LA-BEL CONFIDENTIAL
When the Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799, ar-chaeologists finally could decipher Egyptian hiero-glyphics because all its in-scriptions also were written in ancient Greek — which they understood. Unfor-tunately, when it comes to decoding nutrition labels, there’s no easy way to know what they mean. So here’s our rundown of the top three things nutrition labels can tell you, and what they don’t.
Calorie count? How food is prepared, how you chew it, and how your gut bacteria behave alters the total calo-ries food delivers to your body. So use the count as a general guide, then estab-lish a healthy diet every day with nine servings of fruits and veggies; four servings (3 ounces each) of animal pro-tein; two or more for grains (only 100 percent whole) and other carbs. Also, if the label says 100 calories, but there are 2.5 servings (250
calories) in the package, be-ware you don’t take in more than you planned!
Trans fats? When the label says 0 trans fats, the food is allowed to contain 0.5 gram per serving! Fre-quent ingestion may deliver heart-damaging amounts. If the ingredients list includes “hydrogenated oil,” that’s probably a trans fat (par-tially hydrogenated oil AL-WAYS is). To either, just say no.
Carb counting? Car-bohydrate counts include processed carbs and sugars (check the ingredients list for felonious sugar syrups or added sugars). Don’t rely on printed carb counts; look for separate info on sugars and fiber, and realize the phrase “whole wheat” or “whole grain” in the ingredients list does NOT mean 100 per-cent (the only good-for-you form).
BOOSTING YOUR HAPPINESS RANKING
Maria Shriver went searching for the keys to happiness (understand-ably) and spent six years interviewing residents of 14 countries to create a docu-mentary called “Happy.” In it, she reports on the as-tounding ability of people to find happiness in the odd-est places and celebrates its remarkable emotional and physical benefits.
Additionally, the United Nations World Happiness Report reveals that na-tions, like people, thrive when they’re happy. (The U.S. ranks 17th out of more than 150 countries; Canada is sixth.) What influences a country’s happiness? Its citizens have a healthy life expectancy, others to count on, perceived freedom to make life choices, a spirit
of generosity, freedom from corruption and sufficient earnings. Much like what’s needed for you to find joy in your everyday life.
So if you haven’t yet, start your happiness proj-ect by getting a workout partner; that’s a double re-ward: friendship (essential for happiness) plus better health (a great mood boost-er).
Then go for actual happy meals: None of the Five Food Felons (added sug-ars and sugar syrups, trans and saturated fats, and any grain that isn’t 100 percent whole); and eat plenty of healthy fats from salmon and ocean trout, olive and canola oils, and nuts (espe-cially walnuts) and mood-boosting fresh produce. It keeps gut bacteria balanced, which affects dopamine pro-duction.
And last, but far from least, spend more time with those you love: Intimacy is the glue that holds happi-ness together. You’ll have less stress, fewer health problems and live longer. Not a bad payoff for having a good time!
TRY IT — AND TRY IT AND TRY IT: YOU’LL LIKE IT
Kids in Thailand eat dried shrimp and lemon-grass flavored rice without pooh-poohing the flavors. Japanese children enjoy grilled fish, raw egg, miso soup and fermented soy-beans — for breakfast! But you’re desperate to get your 6-year-old to taste anything healthier or more flavor-ful than a french fry or spaghetti with butter and cheese. So you puree veg-gies in fruit smoothies and opt for supplements just to get some nutrients into your
youngster. Not bad moves, but we’re betting you can expand your child’s food favorites if you’ll expand yours.
Parental behavior is cru-cial in shaping a child’s food preferences. For most kids, flavor choices are a result of nurture more often than nature, maybe even start-ing in the womb. Research suggests that moms who eat junk food when preg-nant tend to have kids who eat junk food and are over-weight. And even kids who do have an actual physiolog-ical aversion to certain fla-vors (many react strongly to bitter tastes) eventually can learn to expand their list of acceptable foods. Repeated exposure alters flavor per-ception. So dish up broccoli in clever ways: grilled, in a creamy soup, cold with a yo-gurt dip.
If you are enthusiastic about eating healthfully, take time to cook good food in tasty ways, and STOP feeding your child processed, salty and sugary foods (they ruin the palate, making it very difficult to appreciate other flavors). That kid of yours will natu-rally ask for another serv-ing of edamame (soybeans), asparagus and oven-roasted kale. Try it. You’ll all like it!

Life with advanced breast cancer: a daughter’s perspective(BPT) — Cate Edwards,
daughter of Elizabeth Ed-wards, became part of the cancer community in 2004 when her mother was first diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. Shocked and defiant, Edwards and her mother assembled the best team of healthcare provid-ers and confronted the can-cer with grace, courage and perseverance.
“I moved back in with my family to be with my mom through the early stages of her treatment,” said Ed-wards. “I was sure there was an end to cancer in sight and I wanted to see her through it.”
Less than a year later, they were able to breathe a sigh of relief when Eliza-beth’s scans came back clear and she appeared to be in remission. Unfortunately, the cancer was not gone for good.
In 2007 the cancer re-turned. This time, it was metastatic breast cancer that had spread to the bone, which was treatable but in-curable. Advanced breast cancer (ABC) is composed of metastatic breast can-
cer (stage IV) and locally advanced breast cancer (stage III), according to the American Cancer Society. Metastatic breast cancer occurs when the cancer has spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body, such as the brain, bones or liver. Locally advanced breast cancer means the cancer has spread to lymph nodes and/
or other tissue in the area of the breast, but not to distant sites in the body.
The advanced breast can-cer felt different. The focus turned from becoming a “survivor” to simply surviv-ing, and Edwards and her mom sensed they were part of a new cancer community.
“Before my mom was diagnosed with advanced
breast cancer, I assumed breast cancer patients fell into two categories - those who were “survivors” and those who were not,” said Edwards. “When Mom’s cancer metastasized, I re-alized this wasn’t the case. There is a community of cancer patients who are challenged by an unpre-dictable, chronic disease that they could live with for weeks, months or years.”
While there are many resources for early stage breast cancer, information specifically for the ABC community - which includes patients and those who care for them - has been limited. A 2012-2013 global survey of nearly 1,300 women in 12 countries, conducted on-line by Harris Interactive on behalf of Novartis Oncol-ogy, showed that 70 percent of U.S. women living with ABC often feel isolated and left out of the broader breast cancer awareness movement. Additionally, 75 percent of women with ABC feel resources to help family and friends cope with and understand the disease would be especially helpful.
To address the unique needs of the ABC commu-nity, the “Count Us, Know Us, Join Us” (Count Us) program was developed with guidance from 13 lead-ing cancer advocacy groups. The Count Us program, which is available in Eng-lish and Spanish at www.advancedbreastcancercom-munity.org, provides educa-tion and support to patients, caregivers, loved ones and supporters.
In honor of her mother, who passed away in 2010, Edwards has joined Count Us as an ambassador to share her caregiver experi-ence and to help amplify the voice of the ABC com-munity.
“Anyone impacted by this disease - whether a patient, daughter, husband, friend or colleague - is part of the community,” said Edwards. “Living with advanced breast cancer means living with uncertainty, but know-ing first-hand the struggles this community faces, there is one thing that’s certain: no one should face it alone.”
Rosalie Canosa, MSW,
MPA, LCSW-R, Program Division Director, Cancer-Care, agrees more support is needed for the ABC com-munity, which has different needs than the early stage breast cancer community, especially when it comes to caregivers who need sup-port as well.
“Seventy percent of women with advanced breast cancer have a care-giver, whether it’s a family member who attends every doctor appointment or a neighbor who brings a meal once a week,” said Canosa. “However, caregivers are often so focused on help-ing that they underestimate support theymay need over time. That’s why I am hap-py that Cate is joining the Count Us program, to raise awareness for everyone in the advanced breast cancer community.”

Where is the group at today? Cliques are the number one high school mantra. Walk in the school and, BAM, group over here, one over there, and oh don’t forget the one by the trash can. There are misconceptions about cliques, both bad and good, that hopefully can be covered by this article. But what is the purpose of cliques and why do we need them? Everyone is drawn to their clique. Cole Thompson said, “Yes I think it’s okay to have cliques because then you can always have somebody to be around.” “It makes you feel more secure and safe,” said Sabrina Lepcheske. Cliques are the lifeline for some people but for others it’s more of a hindrance. “I think that it’s a way for people to exclude other people. It’s dumb and pointless,” said Marbrisa Lepe. When people think about what they are considered clique wise they are put in one of two major groups or are considered a floater. “Cliques by interests and ranked,” is how Lorelei Herrod put it. So people are either a jock/prep, floater, or a nerd. All cliques involve their certain people and no matter what clique a person is in they treat each other the same way; differently. “People shun those they don’t socialize with. No one really talks to us,”
said Herrod. Generally people try to accept other people and be welcoming but like Lepcheske said, “I’m sure there are some people we shut out without meaning to but we try to accept more people into our group.” Cliques create this tight bond that is hard to loosen up in
order to add more people, either when they move in or want friends. Hanging out. Problem with that is, “When we ask to hang out we might not ask some people,” said Lepe. Even within the clique there are still tighter bonds between certain people than others.
Lapcheske
On Monday, September 30th, Mike Smith came to Creston High School to give an inspiring speech about anti-bullying and how it isn’t the records and accomplishments that one leaves behind in high school that matter, but rather it is how someone treats their peers that really counts and sticks with them. Many students described Mike as being ‘real, one of us, a professional teenager, and relatable’. It wasn’t hard to believe either as he made himself comfortable on the stage with is ‘scraggly homeless look’. It wasn’t like being lectured by an adult on a serious topic. Instead there was a more laid back approach to how he talked to everyone that made it both believable and it touched on important things that sometimes as a teenager, we tend to overlook. Mike talked about his childhood and how as he was growing up he had gone from wanting to be a teenage mutant ninja turtle to a professional skateboarder, much like Tony Hawke. However, at an early age, Mike learned that words could hurt. A local kids he admired made fun of him so he quit skating and left his board behind. This led to Calvin, a boy who was essentially under the radar at his school of 200 students. Feeling like a ghost among the crowd, Calvin didn’t want to associate with Mike. Mike talked to his mom, and realized that he was mean. He was a bully. He didn’t want that to be his legacy. His mom’s candid conversation and losing a close friend in an accident made Mike choose a new way.Mike tried to make a point to be better to everyone and to try and help Calvin make it through. Taking Calvin under his wing, Mike tried to be an almost older sibling and role model for the boy.Mike stated that it was through his interactions with Calvin that he realized he wanted to help people above all things, even as Mike eventually went on to college. Later in life, after many successes, Mike received a Facebook message from a girl who admitted that although Mike had changed as a person, she could only recall the bad things that he had done to her throughout her high school experience.
Taylor Suiter
Mike realized that even in all the good he has accomplished, his legacy includes being that mean kid. This statement echoed among both students and teachers to varying degrees, although Tammy Riley pointed out a valid reason for why this can sometimes happen to anyone, “Sometimes we just get wrapped up in things and we become so focused on that one thing, that sometimes we start focusing more inwards rather than outwards, this can make it hard to for people to put records aside because of how much time and effort that they’ve put into it.” Overall, Mike’s message was received with much gusto and backing, however Sydney Suiter raised a concern, “I felt like it was a good story with a good message, but it will only last a few days and then people will revert to their old habits because we (teenagers) are the most common offenders of reverting to our old ways (in the general population)”. Changing our habits for the long term takes effort and we want to make the most of his visit here. Ben Irr, a freshman at CHS on the other hand made the revelation that, “I feel like I need to take a different perspective on how I treat people in different activities, and my thoughts of what’s important.” Mrs. Riley believes that, “With anything it will affect a few, not necessarily the masses, but it’s somewhere to start.” So, let’s see what can be accomplished even when it only affects a few and live by Mike Smith’s message of: Dude, be nice! However, everyone should take this to heart: “You don’t have to change the world, but at least change one thing for the better, “ said Cara Soukup, Spanish teacher.
Dude, Be Nice!

to students in our are courtesy of Union County SADD.
As Thompson said, “In school if someone came to us at lunch, we’d talk to them, outside of school we are not going to contact people we wouldn’t normally hang out with.” “I know that it happens but personally I think we should treat people the same,” said Herrod about how obvious cliques are in schools. It even seems like teachers are aware of the different cliques in the school. Thompson said “Teachers who know kids are in sports and stuff kind of let them get away with stuff.” That is not always the case but it does exist in many schools. “They tend to favor the groups that are easier to get along with and smarter because they are not as difficult,” Lepcheske said. Todd Jacobson, the Sociology teacher at Creston High School, said, “As a Sociology teacher I think that cliques are natural. People like to spend more time with those they have activities in common with rather than others. I don’t feel like teachers favor certain groups but as a coach I do interact more with the kids I coach on the team because we have that aspect in common.” Some ways of looking at it as a teenager is they favor but it’s not so much favoring as it is being more aquainted with certain people. High school is part of life and cliques are a big part of that. Lepe said, “The idea of cliques are immature.” That is true but without cliques many people would be left out to dry, so to speak.
Cliques bring friends into people’s lives but most of the friendships don’t seem to last after high school. Chris Reed, a graduated student from Creston O/M said, “No, your friends you hung out with in school don’t talk to you after graduation.”
“It’s a problem but not a big problem. Other bigger schools are much worse. Everybody still talks to everybody,” said Lepe.
Jacobson said, “I’m on the side where cliques are okay as long as they stay away from bullying.” Even though cliques cause riffs within the student body, they seem to be doing okay and not causing too many problems. If cliques can stay simple and not grow to be more about popularity, and what you are or are not doing, they will continue to serve their purpose.Quotes on the side; Cole Thompson “Just because I’m a part of a group does not mean I’m not willing to be around other people.

NATIONALDIGEST
THE NUMBERS GAME
Manning
Tigers advanceOAKLAND, Calif. —
With the season on the line once more in Oak-land, Justin Verlander pitched another Game 5 gem.
Verlander carried a no-hit bid into the seventh in-ning and Miguel Cabrera homered to lead the De-troit Tigers past the Ath-letics 3-0 Thursday night and back into the AL championship series.
Joaquin Benoit retired Seth Smith on a fly ball with two on in the ninth to close out the deciding game of their division se-ries. The Tigers became the first team to reach the ALCS in three straight years since the New York Yankees from 1998-2001.Anibal Sanchez will start Game 1 in Boston on Sat-urday.
Verlander gave up a clean, two-out single to Yoenis Cespedes in the seventh to end his chance at the third no-hitter in postseason history. On a night he allowed only three baserunners, Ver-lander made it a post-season-record 30 straight scoreless innings against one team since Coco Crisp hit a leadoff home run for the A’s in Game 1 last October.Giants winless
CHICAGO — Jay Cutler had no trouble finding Brandon Marshall this time.
Tim Jennings struck early and late, and the Chicago Bears got the win they needed against a team still searching for its first victory.
Cutler threw two touch-down passes to Marshall, and Jennings had two of Chicago’s three intercep-tions against Eli Manning in a 27-21 victory over the New York Giants on Thursday night.
The Bears (4-2) snapped a two-game slide following a 3-0 start. New York is 0-6 for the first time since 1976.
A resurgence for Creston boys cross country Something strange has been
happening for the Creston boys cross country team this year.
Well, strange if you look at how the team’s been performing over the course of the past 10-plus years.
Ten years ago, I was a fresh-man on Pat Schlapia’s cross country team. That year, we finished eighth out of 10 teams at the Hawkeye 10 Conference Meet. The year prior to that, the boys team finished 10th.
It never got much better for us in my final three years on the team. At Clarinda in 2006, where I won my second straight Hawk-eye 10 Conference individual ti-tle, our team finished sixth with 143 points.
Matt Lanning, who was a year behind me, and is the last Cres-ton boy to qualify for the state meet in 2007, didn’t have any better luck with team success af-ter I left.
That was the one thing missing from our high school cross coun-try careers — team success.
“I think it would have been a lot of fun, first off, to have a bunch of guys who are all su-per competitive,” Lanning said. “Nothing against the guys who did run back when we did, but having the added element of the team competition and the mean-ingful placements of your two, three and four guys — not just worrying about your own place, but what your teammates are do-ing behind you. I think it would have been really interesting.”
This year’s team has tasted the team success that Lanning and I never got to be a part of. We never competed for a team title at a meet, and we often consid-ered ourselves lucky to finish in the top half of the team stand-ings.
This year, the boys team has
won three meet team titles. The boys won the Nodaway Valley Invitational for the third straight year. They’ve been ranked twice this season, including on the latest set of rankings released Wednesday, which has the boys 14th in Class 3A. They also fin-ished either first or second in six straight meets before seeing that streak come to a close Thursday night at Atlantic.
That streak could have been continued Thursday, had the entire team been running at 100 percent health. With Ben Irr and Garret Taylor both hobbled by ankle injuries right now, the team was not able to compete with Council Bluffs Thomas Jef-ferson and Harlan.
From a fan’s perspective, I hope the two of them are able to get back to 100 percent health in time for next Thursday’s Hawk-eye 10 Meet in Red Oak. And if not by then, then at least in time for the State Qualifying Meet.
Because these boys — Coo-per McDermott, Jay Wolfe, Irr,
Taylor, Kruz Adamson and the revolving door of Brant Hudson and Zack Peppmeier — have a chance to do something neither Lanning nor I could accomplish.
It’s been 25 years since a Cres-ton boys team has qualified for the state meet. Lanning was the last individual boy to qualify in 2007, and prior to that Nathan Brotherton qualified in 2000 and 2001, and I qualified in 2004-06.
When Lanning and I think back to our running days, it’s crazy to see where the team is now, with a chance to compete for a conference championship and possibly a state berth.
“For the longest time, it’s been pretty much the same schools at the top dominating,” Lanning said. “It’s the Harlans and the Glenwoods that have been up at the top. You never see Cres-ton at the top as a team that’s c o m p e t i n g .
We’ve been stuck in the bottom three or four for as long as I can remember. It’ just kind of brings a whole new level of excitement to the conference race.”
And aside from Taylor, Adam-son and Peppmeier, every varsity runner on this year’s team is set to return next year, giving the Panthers a decent chance to re-peat this level of success next year.
“I think it’s been pretty amaz-ing what they’ve done for having such a relatively young team for the most part,” Lanning said. “Especially if you were thinking a Creston team having a good boys team, you’d think it would be a bunch of seasoned veterans. When you have a bunch of un-derclassmen leading the way, it’s fun to watch and imagine what it’s going to be like down the road.”

Glenwood wins regional preview, 3-1 By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]
Glenwood volleyball coach Maria Jacobus called it a fundamental victory for her team at Creston Thurs-day night.
“Throughout the season, it’s been pretty apparent that if we have great serve
receive like we did tonight, we feel pretty comfortable with what our offense can do,” Jacobus said. “Some-times our passing and serve receive get away from us. Tonight we got back to good fundamentals.”
The Rams held on to sev-enth place in the Hawkeye 10 at 4-4, and improved to 12-13 overall by defeating
Creston 27-25, 16-25, 25-21, 25-19.
With Shenandoah’s victo-ry over Atlantic Thursday, the Fillies slipped ahead of Creston for eighth place at 3-6. Creston is now ninth at 2-6, and 10-9 overall with a trip to Class 4A top-ranked Harlan looming on Tuesday.
The match was a preview of the Class 4A regional
opener on Oct. 28 at Glen-wood. With the first and third sets coming down to the final points Thursday, Jacobus said it’s apparent a repeat victory over the Panthers won’t be easily ob-tained.
“With their quickness on defense and ability to scramble, that’s one of the best Creston teams I’ve seen in a long time,” Jacobus said. “They have a couple of tall girls, too, and they do a great job of blocking. To be successful against them, we have to adjust our front row, and try to force them into situations where they have to set somebody besides (Natalie) Mostek. You push them to get out of system as much as you can.”
Creston coach Polly Lu-ther lamented the first set loss, after her team moved in front 8-4 on Hanna Lu-ther’s ace serve.
Creston was called for a violation on a rally that could have been a 25-24 lead as Marie Hood struck a kill. Instead, it was 25-24 in Glenwood’s favor. With Creston trailing 26-25 mo-ments later, a Luther set fell
to the floor as there was a mixup on the targeted hit-ter.
The Panthers recovered well from that 27-25 loss, however, to blitz the Rams 25-16. Mostek and Jen-na Taylor had successive blocks in building a 14-10 lead. Late in the set, Taylor teamed with Nicole Haley and Angie Sorensen for a successful attacking run up front.
“We were playing well,” Luther said. “Then in game three they had a couple of servers that just tore us up. One (Halie Darrow) was jump serving. It’s key for us to terminate the ball. Part of our problem tonight was getting passes up to target, which makes it a lot easier to set your middle (Mostek).”
Game four was tied 15-15, but Glenwood’s Kaycee Clark finished off a long rally with a shot down the left sideline to trigger a 10-4 finish that ended the match.
“We play with a lot of hesitation at times,” Luther said, “and in volleyball you

McDermott lays it all on the line for 5th victory of season Boys fifth, girls 10th at Atlantic
ATLANTIC — Early in the boys varsity race here Thursday at the Trojan In-vitational, Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson’s Eldon Warner and Brian Collinson had separated themselves from the pack.
With just more than one mile to go, Collinson main-tained the lead, as Harlan’s Chris Brace had moved up to his shoulder. Warner had faded, and Creston sopho-more Cooper McDermott oc-cupied third place, with a gap between him and the leaders.
But, by the time they reached just 400 meters to go, McDermott had placed him-self right between Collinson and Brace, setting up a three-way battle down the stretch for the individual title at the Atlantic Golf and Country Club.
Collinson and McDermott gained a step on Brace, as McDermott made a pass go-ing around the final turn to take the lead.
But, the race was far from
over yet, as Collinson pulled back up on his shoulder with about 100 meters to go and the two made contact.
Collinson appeared to re-gain the lead, but McDermott used a late surge to pull back up to his side.
The two made contact once again just before they crossed the line, as both runners hit the deck as they crossed the finish line side by side.
McDermott quickly b o u n c e d back up, and was dec lared the victor, r u n n i n g 1 6 : 1 6 . 4 3 compared to Col-l i n s o n ’ s 16:17.00. Brace finished third in 16:17.52. It’s the fifth time McDermott has posted an individual meet victory this season.
“To say that was a close fin-ish was an understatement,” head coach Pat Schlapia said. “Trying to get that forward lean, Cooper and Collinson both ended up on the ground
trying to get that lean, and Cooper won the lean.”
With his five meet wins this season, McDermott sets
a new Creston school record for wins in a season.
Jay Wolfe also finished in the top 10 of the race, placing
eighth in 16:56.

Additional chargesIOWA CITY — State
charges will be filed against U n i v e r -sity of I o w a wres t le r E t h e n P. Loft-h o u s e B o t -t o r f f —commonly known as Ethen Lofthouse — after an Oc-tober 4 incident, in which a duck was shot in his back-yard.
Iowa City police and a DNR officer responded Friday afternoon to a com-plaint of residents shoot-ing arrows at a duck in the yard of a home on Jema Court. The residence is near Willow Creek Park on the city’s west side.
Police say the duck had been shot and taken into the garage. They say Loft-house admitted he had shot the mallard duck; that he intended to eat it.
Police cited Lofthouse with discharge of his bow, in violation of a city pro-jectile ordinance and for maintaining a prohibited animal; without necessary permits; in this instance lack of proper hunting or migratory bird stamps or fees.
Lofthouse was cited by the DNR for illegally tak-ing the duck; out of season and without required fed-eral and state migratory bird stamps. Additional questioning led to five
counts of failure to regis-ter harvested deer with the DNR.
Officers say Loft-house shot the deer while tak-ing part in the city of Coralville deer man-
agement zone hunt, which has been underway since September 14. Deer hunt-ers who harvest a deer in any Iowa season or man-agement zone hunt must register that harvest with the Department of Natu-ral Resources before mid-night, the day after it is tagged.DNR answers

•••Is there anything better
than the St. Louis Cardi-nals in October? I’m sure answers will vary depend-ing on who you ask.
But, whether you love
‘em or hate ‘em, there’s no denying that it’s nearly im-possible to kill the Cardi-nals off once October rolls around.
The Cardinals are 8-1 in the past three years when facing postseason elimina-tion.
They just won’t go away.This marks the third
straight season they’ve made it to the NLCS.
That’s impressive.And now, I can’t wait to
be sitting in Busch Stadi-um Saturday when rookie Michael Wacha takes the mound against Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers in Game 2 of the NLCS.

Coach Lindsay Wetzel said her team did not play at its usual level against the Hawk-eye 10 opponent, and fell to 16-5 for the season.
“We were emotionally, physically and mentally not in the match,” Wetzel said. “We need to have fire, focus and intensity in every match we play. Our passing and serve receive struggled. Therefore, we were playing out of system too much.”

“Jay Wolfe had another fine race,” Schlapia said. “This was a loaded field in both boys and girls, and Jay showed very well, finishing ahead of Shenandoah’s No. 1 and Harlan’s two and three.”
Both Ben Irr and Garret Taylor made their returns to the varsity lineup after sit-ting out the Nodaway Valley Invitational on Monday with ankle injuries.
But, neither appeared to be at 100 percent, and the Pan-thers finished fifth in the team standings with 165 points. be-hind Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson (84), Harlan (95), Shenandoah (125) and Boyer Valley (161).
“We wanted to test our-selves against TJ again, but you could tell Ben and Garret weren’t back at full strength yet,” Schlapia said. “There’s some points to be made up just from running healthy in another week.”
Isaiah Foster was the fifth scoring member for the Pan-thers, finishing 77th with a time of 18:30.
Jacob Bolinger led Lenox with an 85th place finish, run-ning 18:43.Girls

Sophomore Taylor Briley finished 39th for the Panthers with her time of 17:39. Madi-son Hance was close behind in 44th place, running 17:48.

Junior outside hitter Jana King and sophomore outside hitter Kaycee Clark led The Rams with eight kills. Sophomore
Kali Mumm added seven as 5-10 junior middle hit-ter Courtney Magnussen was slowed by a knee inju-ry. Coach Jacobus expects her to be improved and a “go-to” offensive force by regional time.
Glenwood had a clear advantage in ace serves, in part through stellar de-
fense, but also with tough-er serves to handle.
“We have to get better about that,” Luther said. “We’re decent about put-ting it where it needs to be put, but if it’s not effective, then it’s easier for them to get into their offense.”
Mostek led the Panthers with 14 kills, but no others r e a c h e d d o u b l e f i g u r e s . M o s t e k also had 13 solo b l o c k s , and So-rensen had seven. Jami Sickels was the busiest de-fender at 17-22 on serve receive with 14 digs.

DARNancy McKay Harsh
Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution met 9:30 a.m. Sept. 14 in the Richardson Conference Room at Greater Regional Medical Center.
The program was The War of 1812 and “The Star-Span-gled Banner” by Marjorie Kinkade. She shared history of the United States flag pri-or to The War of 1812, and discussed events leading up to Francis Scott Key compos-ing the song in 1814. HerbertHoover, in 1931, adopted “The Star-Spangled Banner” as the national anthem.
The meeting was called to order by Connie Kinkade, chapter regent. Members shared in reading the ritual.
Elaine Brown shared the president general’s message. The president general sug-gested calling members who are not attending regularly to tell them how much they are appreciated. Visiting the DAR Constitution Hall dis-plays in Washington, D.C., was encouraged. Plans are underway for celebration of DAR in 2015. Subscribe to the president general’s blog for updates.
Pam Marvin shared the national defense report.
Roll call was shared by members and a guest with
their favorite patriotic song.Jane Briley, secretary,
shared the minutes. The minutes were approved.

Lynn Schlaht shared the conservation moment. Do not throw items out of car windows. Wait to discard items properly.
The Constitution mo-ment was shared by Judith Wachter. Thomas Jefferson didn’t sign the Constitu-tion. The Constitution was penned by Jacob Shallus, clerk of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, for $30, which would be $726 today.
Protocol was shared by Pam Marvin. States are di-vided between four and eight district directors appointed by the state regent. District directors plan for state meet-ings, visit various chapters in her district and assist the state chaplain with the me-morial service at the state meeting.
The women’s issue was excerpts from a report on statewomen’sissue.com. Concerns have three parts
which include: health, career and family issues. There is a women’s issue essay contest. Only one essay is allowed per chapter.
The flag moment was shared. Don’t Tread on Me was the first flag of the Ma-rines that started in 1775. It had a gold background with a rattlesnake.
Marjorie Kinkade shared the sunshine report. She sent cards to Elaine Brown, Bev Hargin, Deb Richardson, Swartz and Karla Perk. Cla-risse Minnick sent a letter to the chapter. Jean Fisher shared a poem with the group.
A membership report was given by Marjorie Kinkade. Three members are pending, including Cynthia Miller, Jennifer Queener and Nata-lie Anderson.

Jan Morgan sec-onded the motion. The mo-tion carried.
Connie Kinkade discussed the district meeting during the evening of Sept. 16 and all day Sept. 17. Bob Brown gave the group a tour at Mount Pisgah.

Fall into great tabletop decorating ideas (BPT) — Saying good-
bye to summer doesn’t have to be a sentimental ending when you consider it’s also a beginning — the kick off to autumn and the holiday sea-son. The promise of fall is in the air.
It’s a great time to dress up your home for fall enter-taining; whether that means friends gathered around the television rooting for your favorite team or the ultimate traditional Thanksgiving feast.
“Decorating trends for this fall are really fun and func-tional,” says visual merchan-diser John Griffith. “Colors that evoke a sense of nostalgia and family are a really big part of the visual design message for autumn 2013. Reds, golds and oranges are trending this fall. These hues are not only warm and comforting; they’re reflective of the season.”
Griffith and teammate Julie Robbins add their own unique spin on the latest trends to cre-ate seasonal design vignettes for Replacements, Ltd., the world’s largest retailer of old and new china, crystal, silver and collectibles.
Whether you are planning a casual family gathering or an elegant dinner party, Robbins suggests easy ways to mix in great fall colors. This can be as simple as add-ing a charger plate or color-ful serving pieces.
“Using colored glass is
fantastic way of infusing au-tumn colors to create a sea-sonal feel,” says Robbins. “Amber colored glass is re-ally popular this fall because the rich, warm color goes with so many patterns and designs.
“I’m big on the pressed vintage patterns; depression glass, coin glass and sand-wich glass are all very lovely and nostalgic. We’re actually mixing and matching pat-terns from historic Ameri-can glassmakers including Federal, Indiana Glass and Fostoria on our tables. It looks great to mix designs which share the same colors or combine an array of col-ors within a place setting.”
Metal serveware is anoth-er popular trend this fall.
“We’re incorporating metal serveware into many of our displays because you can do so much with it from
a design standpoint,” says Griffith. “These are great accent pieces you can dress up or down, plus it is fam-ily — and football — season friendly.”
Metal serveware is also very functional. Once heated, the alloy retains warmth to keep food warmer longer or cooler if you chill these pieces. Plus it is easy to clean and doesn’t have to be polished.
“We’re using a lot of fun shapes, like leaf-shaped piec-es and turkey platters.”
Fall’s bountiful harvest translates into the home this season.
Robbins is using natural elements in her table designs that evoke a sense of the first Thanksgiving.
“I suggest filling vases, glasses or serving bowls with dried beans, acorns or even kernels of dried deer corn. Not only does this look pretty, you can also mix in candles or flowers and use these natural elements to hold those items in place.”
Robbins adds apples, gourds, pumpkins and green pears are among fruits and vegetables you can use on your table or anywhere in your home to create a bril-liant splash of color.
She says you can find more decorating ideas at Replace-ments’ YouTube channel and Facebook page.

Bancroft History Assembly
IFWC Bancroft History Assembly met Oct. 7 for its monthly meeting at the D.V. Richardson Room at Greater Regional Medical Center. Four life members and seven regular members attended.
The meeting was called to order by President Peg Anderson. All participated in the Pledge of Allegiance. Abraham penned the inspi-rational thought: “It’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” The thought for the day from the club’s yearbook was “Wash your hands and say your prayers, because Jesus and germs are everywhere.”
Roll call was answered with, “What age were you when you started school? Kindergarten or first grade?”
The secretary read the min-utes of the last meeting and were approved by members.
Kay Raymond gave the treasurer’s report. Members were reminded to get dues paid. A collection was made for the IFWC/Iowa endow-ment fund.
Raymond reported there is a reading list available, both from her and at Gibson Me-morial Library. Individual lists are due Dec. 2. She urged 100 percent participation of club members reporting.
Joan Chubick had sent three get-well cards last month. She was asked to cor-respond with a recuperating member and the family of Al-
ice Taylor, a former member and past president.
As unfinished business, there was discussion about supporting the RICC even though it now has no office in Creston. Martha Musmaker will be attending a local coali-tion meeting this week and will report back to the presi-dent and club members. It was decided that if a possible method were available, Ban-croft will take this as a charity project. Otherwise, the club will contribute toward the lo-cal MATURA food pantry. A generous amount of canned goods and nonperishable items were brought to the meeting that day for the food pantry.
Another discussion cen-tered around Trees Forever. The free coloring books for preschool and primary chil-dren are available in April for the price of postage. It was moved and seconded that Musmaker be asked to pick up the books on one of her trips to the northeast part of Iowa.
Anderson then gave a re-port on the Southwest Dis-trict Convention held Sept. 20 in Granger. JoAnne Nurn-berg, Marisue Lewis and An-derson represented Bancroft at the convention. Business items were presented to the delegates. Keynote speaker was Mike Delaney, who spoke on the Raccoon River watershed. An election was held and club awards were presented. Bancroft received two awards. The yearbook evaluation was positive, end-ing with “good job.”
The club collect brought the business meeting to a close.
Musmaker then gave a report on Carrie Chapman Catt. She helped pass the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote. She is hon-ored in the Iowa Hall of Fame.
Dessert was served by Bar-bara Bjorn, the hostess for October.
