Riley defeats Hayes for county supervisor By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA associate [email protected]

The political landscape will remain almost unchanged for Union County on the local and state level.

The only shift is Republican Tom Shipley, who will replace Hubert Houser for the Iowa Sen-ate seat in District 11. Houser retired after the 2014 session and Shipley ran unopposed in Tues-day night’s election.

Union County Board of Super-visor Ron Riley brought in more than 70 percent of the vote de-feating challenger Paul Hayes.

County Treasurer Kelly Bus-

ch, Recorder Paula White and Attorney Tim Kenyon were not opposed in the election.

Also, Jack Drake secured his spot in the Iowa House of Rep-resentatives, defeating Democrat Tim Ennis for the District 21 seat.

Union County favored Drake with more than 60 percent of the

vote. Drake has served in the Iowa House for District 21 since 1993.Union County voting

Union County reflected the statewide turnout for the election and it was spurred by the absentee voting totals.

Each candidate that won on at the Union County level and the state or district level won the ab-sentee vote count.

Union County Auditor Sandy Hysell said the county had a solid voter turnout and because of the high numbers, she used rovers at the precincts to bring results back

COLLAGE OF HONOR

By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA associate [email protected]

An eagle with the Amer-ican flag, soldiers boarding the train at Creston Depot, plumes of smoke from the attack at Pearl Harbor and helicopters flying over a dense, green jungle.

With each stroke of his brush, Ray “Bubba” Sorensen brought to life scenes from five different eras of war in honor of all veterans who have served their country as the next installment of his Freedom Rock Tour.

Sorensen unveiled the Union County Freedom Rock — his 25th completed project — from the protec-tion of a red tent Monday, well ahead of the projected completion date in 2015.

“With Creston and Le Claire ... they were sur-prised I could squeeze them in,” Sorensen said. “I was looking at what the weather was looking like and I said as long as Moth-er Nature doesn’t throw us any huge curveballs and

Joni Ernst elected to Senate over Braley

� Union County Freedom Rock ties together multiple war eras with local flare

DES MOINES (AP) — State Sen. Joni Ernst was elected to the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, be-coming Iowa’s first woman elected to Congress and helping Republicans deliver the party a new majority in Washington, D.C.

Iowa’s first open Sen-ate seat in 40 years was among the most con-tested in the battle for control of the chamber, which Republicans won decidedly Tuesday. Al-though the race between Ernst and Democratic U.S. Rep. Bruce Bra-ley was expected to be close, Ernst led most polls leading up to Elec-tion Day.

“Well Iowa, we did it! We did it!” a grin-ning Ernst, an Iraq War veteran and lieutenant colonel in the Iowa Na-tional Guard, told supporters at a West Des Moines hotel ballroom.

“It’s a long way from Red Oak to Washing-ton,” she said. “Thanks to you Iowa, we are headed to Washington, and we are going to make them squeal.”

That was a reference to the ads that vault-ed her to the front of the primary pack last spring, where she announced she grew up

Terry B ranstad wins Iowa governor’s race DES MOINES (AP) — Incum-

bent Republican Gov. Terry Bran-stad coasted to victory over Demo-crat Jack Hatch on Tuesday night.

Branstad, who won a sixth non-consecutive term, ran a cam-paign that focused on his recent legislative achievements, including a substantial commercial property tax cut and new education spending. He raised millions for his re-elec-

tion bid and wel-comed big-name supporters like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to the campaign trail.

“We’re really proud of having led Iowa’s come-back and we want to lead Iowa to

a prosperous and growing future,” said Branstad, 67, on Tuesday night. “I want Iowa to be the envy of the nation.”

Hatch, 64, a longtime law-maker from Des

Moines, sought to portray Brans-

tad as out of touch with working Iowans. But he struggled with fund-raising and had difficulty boosting his profile statewide. As he went to the polls Tuesday, he said he was proud of the campaign he ran.

“We’ve talked about the future and the governor has been talking about the past and I think that’s a big difference between us,” Hatch said.

Hatch suffered from a lack of re-

sources, compared to the well-fund-ed Branstad. He said he always knew he would be outspent.

“We raised 2 million dollars. That doesn’t go very far in today’s mar-ket,” Hatch said.

Branstad now must get ready for the next legislative session and an inauguration. But first, he’s taking his wife on a trip to Italy later this week.

castrating hogs and would cut pork in Washington.The Senate seat was open due to the retirement of five-term Democrat Tom Harkin.

Ernst, Harkin’s stylistic and ideological opposite, ran a disciplined campaign — winning a five-way pri-mary, touting her military service, legislative experi-ence and small-town up-bringing.

In the race against Bra-ley, she attached the for-mer lawyer to votes he had taken in line with President Barack Obama, a Demo-crat who carried the state two years ago but whose popularity has plummeted.

“I would have voted against Obama if I could have,” said Sue Smith of Des Moines.

She said Congress need-ed to change to break the gridlock of the Republi-can-controlled House and Democratic-controlled Senate.

Braley, 57, is a four-term U.S. House member who had focused more on pre-senting issue differences and billed himself as a con-

sumer advocate who can build bipartisan relation-ships.

Both candidates had shown vulnerability as first-time candidates for statewide office, though Braley’s seemed to leave a more lasting impression in voters’ minds.

In January, Braley was caught on a hidden video camera trying to tout his credentials as a lawyer while appearing before a fundraiser with other law-yers in Texas when he uttered the campaign’s most memorable line:

“You might have a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school,” as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he said, re-ferring to Republicans Sen. Chuck Grassley. Grassley, in his sixth term, is a non-lawyer and positioned to be-come committee chair-man as Republicans have taken control.

Des Moines business owner Trent Litten, 49, said he voted for Ernst because he thought Braley came off as ar-rogant.

“I’m not a fan of law-yers, or of Braley’s at-titude,” Litten said.Ernst had been criticized by Braley and women’s groups for her support of a constitutional amend-ment that would bestow the rights of personhood on a fetus.

But she enjoyed the qui-et support of Gov. Terry Branstad during the pri-mary, and the enthusiastic support of the re-elected 6-term governor during

the general election.The race helped deter-

mine control of the Sen-ate, where Republicans had needed to gain six seats to become the ma-jority party.

It was by far the most expensive campaign in Iowa history.

Both Braley and Ernst raised more than $10 mil-lion, and outside groups have spent additional mil-lions on television adver-tising.

Judy Lewis Creston

Judy Lewis, 65, of Creston died Nov. 4, 2014, at Afton Care Cen-ter in Af-ton.

P r i v a t e graveside s e r v i c e s will be held at a later date at the Eldon Cemetery in Eldon. Powers Funeral Home, junc-tion of highways 34 and 25, Creston, is assisting with arrangements. No visitation will be held. Memorials may be given to the family. On-line condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Judith Ann Lewis, daugh-ter of Jeannie Marie (Hay-wood) and John Theodore Blanchard, was born March 14, 1949, in Des Moines.

Judy graduated from Roo-sevelt High School in 1967.

On June 6, 1970, Judy married Gary Clear Sr. in Des Moines. They settled

in Clarinda. They later di-vorced.

Judy moved to Akeley, Minn., where she began working for Ah-gwah-ching in food service as a cook for 19 years.

Judy moved to the Cres-ton area in 2000, where she worked a variety of odd jobs before retiring in 2011.

On Nov. 6, 2007, Judy married Charles Lewis. They later divorced.

Judy is survived by her children, Kristie (husband Scott) Nixon of Afton, Gary Clear Jr. (Ang Narducci) of Red Oak and Chris (wife Charity) Clear of Creston; brothers, Jay (wife Nikki) Blanchard of Gilbert, Ariz., Jack (wife Gayle) Blanchard of Queen Creek, Ariz., Jon (wife Meg) Blanchard of Raleigh, N.C., Joe (wife Lo-rane) Blanchard of Prairie, Idaho, and Jeff (wife Lisa) Blanchard of Los Altos, Ca-lif.; and 13 grandchildren.

you guys can put up a tent with some heat, I didn’t see why we couldn’t squeeze them in.”

Denny Abel, quarter-master for the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1797, said the site was ready for Sorensen to start painting the rock early and the commission worked with him to design the rock.

The commission includ-ed Bob Jungst, Eric Shawl-er, Lisa Downing, Charlie Jackson and Terry Loomis.The design

The Union County Free-dom Rock ties together imagery from World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the War on Terror.

“I don’t want it to look like clip art just threw up on it,” Sorensen said. “That is the struggle, tak-ing such different eras and such different looking things and trying to make them as one.”

Sorensen uses similar elements like the color of the sky or the smoke from the train at the Creston De-pot flowing into the smoke from the Pearl Harbor scene to create a collage.

“The front (south side) was put together by the VFW,” Abel said. “It de-picts an eagle holding a flag and the MIA/POW patch. At the bottom it says ‘Free-dom is not free.’”

Sorensen said while most

of the rocks on the tour have similar themes, he tries to add local history and flare to the design.

“Most of them have something that either ties to the county, the towns in the county or a specific veteran in that county,” So-rensen said.

The north side of the rock features the Rainbow Division boarding a train at the Creston Depot during World War I. Abel said they did all of their training in Creston before leaving for the war.

The scene is bordered by red poppies, another sym-bol from the WWI era.

“The French in World War I buried the dead in poppy fields, so the red poppies stand for the blood that was shed in World War I,” Abel said.

The paint Sorensen uses is a silicate, which he de-scribed as “liquid rock.”

“They use this paint in tropical and arctic condi-tions,” Sorensen said. “We get some cold weather and some hot weather in Iowa, but it is usually not arctic and tropical.”

While the rock may physically weather and

have small parts chip away, the paint is unaffected by UV light and weather, so minimal maintenance will be required for the rock.

“This has been a chal-lenging rock,” Sorensen said. “It is coarse, but that is part of its character, too.”

The rock — donated by the family of Dr. Robert Kuhl — is 8-feet long by 8-feet tall by 5-feet wide.

Sorensen said it was get-ting late in the year to paint the Union County Free-dom Rock, but the red tent and heaters helped keep the temperature above 50 degrees so the paint could cure properly. It also pro-vided a wind block to make working conditions more favorable.

“The tour was technical-ly over two rocks ago, so it is getting the the point where I need to be home,” Sorensen said. “You know at the end of the (half mar-athon) race when you have run 12 miles and you know you just have to focus a little more, I am to that point.”Checking in

Sorensen said being close to home with two

small children and a wife he has been away from for most of the summer extended his typical time frame of completing a rock.

But being born in Cres-ton and living in Green-field added some impor-tance to make the Union County Freedom Rock look special.

He was rarely alone while painting. Intrigued veter-ans and visitors consistent-ly peaked into the tent to watch Sorensen work and get a preview of the design.

“It is very typical for peo-ple to stop in and visit, that does not change across the state,” Sorensen said.

Trinity Lutheran Church donated five, 20-foot flag poles for all five military flags to be installed at the site.

A dedication ceremony is planned for 10:30 a.m. Nov. 11 at the rock. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be moved to Creston High School gym-nasium.

“Anybody that goes by there that is interested in any type of history or vet-erans, I feel, will stop and look,” Abel said. “While they are there, there is the visitor center during the summer that they can go in and check out.”

“We had rovers for the last presidential election because it was so huge,” Hysell said.

The auditor’s office will also be collecting all the

ballots — voted, unvoted, provisional and spoiled — and locking them in the vault in case one of the state or national races calls for a recount.

The Iowa Secretary of State will inform Hysell of the procedures of a recount if it is called for.

Young beats Appel for 3rd district seat

DES MOINES (AP) — David Young, a longtime aide to U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, has been elected in Iowa’s 3rd district.

Voters on Tuesday elect-ed Young, a Republican, over Democrat Staci Ap-pel, a former state legisla-tor.

Young took an unusual path to his House victory. He first was a candidate for U.S. Senate but switched to the 3rd district race when incumbent Repub-lican Rep. Tom Latham

announced he’d retire. Young finished fifth in the primary, but won the nom-ination at a special conven-tion.

In the campaign, Young fended off arguments by Appel that after working for two decades in Wash-ington, he was more be-holden to lobbyists and big donors than to Iowans. Young responded that his Washington experience meant he could be effec-tive on his first day in the Capitol.

Southern Iowa Trolley releases annual audits

Southern Iowa Trolley announces the completion of audits of the fiscal years ending July 31, 2013, and July 31, 2014.

Ted Willets, a CPA in Cres-ton, conducted the audits of both years. He issued unqual-ified opinions on the financial statements of both years. He

did note there is inadequate internal control because of inadequate segregation of duties because of the limited number of employees.

More information and a copy of the audit reports are available from the Southern Iowa Trolley at 782-6571 or 866-782-6571.

OPINIONOPINION

H O L L Y W O O D — H a p p y Wednesday, everybody, and God bless America.

Daylight Savings Time took effect Sunday and became a par-tisan voter issue. The media fed the furor. MSNBC said the time change robbed Democrats of six-ty minutes they need to get out last-minute voters while Fox News said President Obama has set this country back one hour.

Election Day arrived on Tues-day with the Democrats and Re-publicans using all the tricks to sway voters. A state assembly can-didate in Los Angeles knocked on doors all night long and no one an-swered. Who doesn’t want to let strangers into their house during an Ebola epidemic?

Santa Anita Racetrack in Los Angeles enacted strict sanitation rules in the horses’ stables Friday to guard against Ebola. An out-break is highly unlikely. If Ebola could be contracted through the passing of horse excrement, the floor of the Senate would be cov-ered in dead bodies.

One World Trade Center opened for its first day of busi-ness Monday, thirteen years after al-Qaeda flew two airliners into the Twin Towers. It was prevent-able. The airline ticket sellers should have been tipped off when the terrorists asked if there’s any-thing cheaper than one-way.

The New York City Marathon was run before a million fans on Sunday. One spectator fell three stories out of his apartment win-dow and landed safely on lawn bags. Five minutes later, a Ken-yan fell out of the same window

and beat his time to the ground by two-fifths of a second.

South Africa prosecutors asked to re-try Olympic star Oscar Pis-torious Tuesday. He woke up and shot his fiancee four times through his bathroom door, claiming she was a burglar, and he only got five years. The irony is last night Oscar woke up and a burglar was using his toilet.

The USO reported that Char-lie Sheen’s million-dollar dona-tion was the largest donation ever to the military morale-boosting organization. That’s real patrio-tism. It makes you wish we had a hundred more just like Charlie in Washington D.C., unfortunately we have ten thousand.

The Affair is a hit on Showtime about a successful New York man who cheats on his wife during a vacation on Long Island. It’s a very old lesson. The difference be-tween cheating on your wife and cheating on your taxes is, if you confess and tell the truth, the IRS still wants to screw you.

The World Health Organiza-tion had great news regarding the Ebola crisis last week when it de-clared Nigeria officially free of the Ebola virus. They called it a spec-tacular success story. They added if you e-mail your bank details to Nigeria now, you can be part of this success story.

FISHTRAP HOLLOW, Miss. — From the barn come the boards that serve as underpinning for my old house. They are brought to its high side and screwed into the bat-tened cedar for the season. Warn-ings here are for a freeze.

Firewood for the night is at the ready, fueling the first stove fire of the season. At the kitchen table, I read two newspapers. I collect-ed the papers along the long way home, bisecting the state, from the Mississippi Coast to these Hills. No newspaper makes deliveries way out here anymore.

A sweet potato in the stove. An extra scoop of dry food for the dogs. I concentrate on all the things humans fret about natural-ly, essentially. As cold weather ap-proaches, we crave warmth, shel-ter, food, safety. Want our backs to the wind, dogs at our feet. Music

in our ear, biscuits in the oven.I soon wonder why I bothered

with the newspapers. They depress me. All the news is about the mid-term election -- the millions spent, the challenges filed, the shenani-gans pulled.

If you are keeping score, Mis-sissippi might now lead even Lou-isiana in the never-ending contest for most unsavory but entertaining political races. Once you trespass in a nursing home to steal fodder and a photograph for a political advertisement, you can lay claim to a royal flush of devilment. Makes Richard Nixon’s merry

band of dirty tricksters look like Cub Scouts on a camping trip.

I grew up in Alabama believing all other states must have a saner political climate than the one cre-ated by our bantamweight fighter, George Wallace. I was wrong. Re-cent political stunts make Wallace look like a piker. From the bridges of New Jersey, to the shores of Mi-ami Beach.

Wallace, at least, finished out his checkered career without getting rich. That doesn’t happen much anymore. Was he too busy dema-goguing to steal?

I think about my own everyday concerns and those of my friends and neighbors. FDR’s Freedom from Worries were not at the center of the recent political cam-paigns in Mississippi. Give or take a token effort or two, there basi-cally were no campaigns after the

raunchy primaries.Nobody talked about expand-

ing Medicaid. Nobody talked much about disappearing jobs or inadequate wages, or, if they did, offered few details for a cure. No-body talked about roads, bridges, the environment. There were no debates.

And the voters didn’t demand answers.

The incumbent U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran of the Republican per-suasion hid. After a disgusting Republican primary, you almost couldn’t blame him.

His Democratic challenger Tra-vis Childers was a warm body, a sacrificial lamb treading water in case Mississippi ever becomes a two-party state again. Voters yawned.

If the state’s successful football programs had not kept us rela-

tively content, citizens might have been tempted to move. Where would we go? To the right and left of us, same story. Alabama’s pol-iticians of both stripes are march-ing off to federal prisons, and Lou-isiana is Louisiana.

Texas? We don’t want to go there.

We get what we pay for, or at least what special interests pay for. And while we fiddle around with domestic concerns, Rome -- and Mississippi -- burn.

Did You Know?...your local animal pound does all this and more?

The Creston City Pound is a holding facility for stray/abandoned animals within Creston city limits. Animals are held for 7 days to give owners time to claim their pets. After this time they become available for adoption. Here is where a dedicated group of volunteers come in. Creston Animal Rescue Effort (C.A.R.E.) helps to get these pets adopted. We publish their photos in the local paper, hand out flyers around the community, update our websites, host fundraisers and supply the pets with treats, vet care and love.

RHUBARB UPSIDE DOWN CAKE2 Tbsp. butter, melted1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided1/4 cup brown sugar2 cups chopped rhubarb1 1/3 cups flour2 tsp. baking powder1/2 tsp. salt5 Tbsp. butter, at room temperature2/3 cup milk1 tsp. vanilla1/2 tsp. lemon extract1 egg

Preheat oven to 350°. Mix the 2 Tbsp. melted butter, 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, and rhubarb together. Spread the mixture onto the bottom of a 9 inch round cake pan. Sift flour, remaining 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl. Add the butter, milk, vanilla, and lemon extract. Beat on medium high speed for 2 minutes. Add the egg and beat an additional 2 minutes. There may still be small lumps of butter, the size of a pea or smaller, in the batter. Pour the batter over the rhubarb. Bake until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. If the cake gets too brown, place a sheet of foil over the cake the last 10 to 15 minutes of baking. Allow the cake to cool for about 5 minutes then loosen the sides by running a knife around the edges. Place your cake plate on top of the pan then use your hands to sandwich them together and flip the pan over onto the cake plate. Carefully lift the cake pan off the cake and allow the topping to run over the sides. Serve warm with ice cream.

RHUBARB ICE CREAM4 cups sliced rhubarb2 cups sugar2 cups water3 cups miniature marshmallows3 Tbsp. lemon juice5 to 7 drops red food coloring, optional2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped

In a large saucepan, bring rhubarb, sugar and water to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until rhubarb is soft. Stir in marshmallows, lemon juice and food coloring if desired; cook and stir until marshmallows are melted. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. In a large bowl of a standing mixer, beat cream on high until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Fold in whipped cream. Transfer to a freezer container; cover and freeze for up to 2 months. Remove from the freezer 20 minutes before serving.

MERINGUE CLOUDS WITH BASIL SCENTED STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB COMPOTEFor the Clouds:3 large egg whites, room temperature1/2 tsp. vanilla extract1/4 tsp. cream of tartar3/4 cup sugar

For the Basil Scented Strawberry-Rhubarb Compote:1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries, rinsed, hulled and quartered + 1/2 cup of strawberries, rinsed, hulled and chopped reserved1 1/2 cups chopped rhubarb2 Tbsp. of honey1 Tbsp. of water3-4 whole basil leaves

For the Whipped Cream:1/2 cup of heavy cream2 Tbsp. powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 275°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Place egg whites, vanilla and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with a whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar (about 1 Tablespoon at a time) and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. Using a spoon, drop eight dollops of meringue onto prepared baking sheet. Use the back of your spoon to create a well in each ‘cloud’. Clouds should be around 3-4 inches wide. You can alternately transfer meringue mixture to a piping bag and pipe the nests, making sure that the bottom is a solid circle so that the filling won’t leak out later. Bake the clouds for 45-50 minutes or until they are totally set and dry. Leaving the oven door closed, turn off the oven and allow meringues to sit in the oven for an additional 1 hour. In the meantime, place 1 1/2 cups rhubarb, 1 1/2 cups strawberries, water, basil and honey in a small sauce pan set over medium heat. Bring mixture to a gentle boil and reduce to a simmer. Allow mixture to cook, stirring occasionally, until fruit is soft and syrupy, about 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and discard basil leaves. Stir in the reserved 1/2 cup of chopped strawberries and allow mixture to cool. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add sugar and beat until cream is thick and fluffy. Be careful not to over beat or you’ll end up with butter. Top each meringue cloud with several spoonfuls of compote and whipped cream. Serve immediately. If making the meringue nests head of time, store unfilled nests in an airtight container for up to 2 days. The Strawberry-Rhubarb compote can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.

RHUBARB POUND CAKE2 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided1/2 cup butter, room temperature3 large eggs1 tsp. vanilla bean paste or 2 tsp. vanilla extract1/3 cup sour cream1/2 tsp. salt1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease a loaf pan. In a medium frying pan, mix the cut rhubarb with 1/4 cup sugar. Over medium-high heat, cook the rhubarb until it is fork tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes. The rhubarb needs to be able to hold its shape or it will get lost in the cake batter. Set aside to cool. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and remaining sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well between additions. Mix in the vanilla bean paste, sour cream, and salt until uniform. Stir in the flour until just incorporated. Gently fold in the rhubarb pieces and any juice remaining in the pan. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and sprinkle the top with a tablespoon of sugar. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve warm or room temperature, with a cup of tea or spoonful of strawberry jam. Yields 1 loaf (or 3 mini loaves)

Thursday, Nov. 6, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April

19) Today’s Full Moon pulls you between your own finan-cial concerns and the concerns of others, especially your part-ner’s. This is something you have to weigh today.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today, the only Full Moon all year in your sign is occur-ring. You have to decide whose interests to put first: yours or someone else’s?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your desire to work alone might be at odds with what is expected of you at work. Try to find a balance, which is always tricky during a Full Moon.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your focus is on romantic rela-tionships, children and fun-lov-ing activities (including sports). However, a female or someone in a group might want your attention. You choose.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You are caught between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career today. This is a classic Full Moon conundrum. This time, you can’t ignore your personal life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today’s Full Moon is an accident-prone time for you. Therefore, slow down and pay attention to everything you do. Be mindful to avoid regrettable skirmishes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today’s Full Moon could put financial stress on you because you don’t know who to please. You feel pulled in opposite directions. By Saturday, things will be fine.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place.

Naturally, this creates tension with others and gives you a short fuse. Your only recourse is patience.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Focus as best you can on matters at work, even though today is the Full Moon. You might feel that others are blocking you. If so, this will be history by Saturday.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your plans to enjoy sports, playful times with children or romantic interludes will be interrupted by the demands of friends or members of a group. Do what you can to keep every-one happy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Today you feel the clas-sic tug-of-war of the demands of home and family, and the demands of your career and reputation. You cannot ignore your career. Not today.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Avoid controversial sub-jects and arguments with sib-lings, relatives and neighbors. Today’s Full Moon will tempt you to get involved in conflicts. Don’t do it.

YOU BORN TODAY You are energetic, stimulating and for-

ever optimistic. People find you entertaining and delight-ful! Your enthusiasm is genu-ine, and people feel they can trust you. Settle your debts this year, to prepare for financial accumulation in the next three years. To clear away indebt-edness is the thrust of this year. Consolidate your affairs for future growth.

Dear Readers: With the holidays coming up, many will be going home for Thanks-giving. Who can resist home-baked goods and the smell of something yummy when you walk in the door that says “Welcome home”?

So many keep asking about the HELOISE ANGEL BIS-CUIT recipe that my mother, the original Heloise, printed more than four decades ago. And yes, they are just as soft as little angels. So here is my family recipe just for you.

This dough can be made up to three days in advance and stored in the refrigerator in a covered bowl. Gather the fol-lowing ingredients:

1 package dry yeast1/4 cup warm water2 1/2 cups flour1/2 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon salt1/8 cup sugar1/2 cup shortening1 cup buttermilkDissolve the yeast in warm

water and set aside. Place all the dry ingredients (in the above order) in a bowl and mix. The shortening should be cut in, similar to when making pie crust. Stir in the buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Mix well and refrigerate in a cov-ered bowl.

Take the dough out when ready to make biscuits. Knead

it LIGHTLY on a floured counter or board. Roll out the dough gently and cut into shape. I use a small juice glass to “cut” out just the right-size biscuit. Place the biscuits in a greased pan and allow to rise slightly. Bake in a 400 F oven for 12-15 minutes. Enjoy! — Heloise

P.S.: Make a double batch, because they will just “float” away, they are so light.

SEND A GREAT HINT TO:

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

5000Fax: 210-HELOISEEmail: Heloise@Heloise.

com HONEY FOR SUGAR?Dear Heloise: I do a lot of

baking and am alarmed at the amount of sugar required. I want to substitute honey. Can I substitute honey for sug-ar? — Gaylen C., Bella Vista, Ark.

Yes, you can substitute hon-ey for sugar! Here are a cou-

ple of hints: Use a one-to-one substitution (1 cup of honey in place of 1 cup of sugar). How-ever, when a recipe calls for more than a cup, reduce the liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup per cup. Then lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees to prevent overbrowning. — Heloise

HEALTHY RINSEDear Heloise: I love cole-

slaw, but everything sold in my area is too rich and sugary. I purchase a package, put it in a strainer, then pour water over it and watch the excess may-onnaise and sugar go down the drain. My coleslaw now has a sensible calorie count, and to me it tastes better. — Marvin P., Torrington, Conn.

Marvin, you also could buy a package of pre-cut or shred-ded slaw and add your own dressing. — Heloise

LABEL LEFTOVERSDear Heloise: It’s never

nice to find out that leftovers have gone bad in your refrig-erator. To alleviate this, label food containers with sticky notes, including the contents and date they went into the fridge. Less food ends up in the compost bin, and you’ll save money, too. — Martha Silano in Seattle

Ducks fourthMississippi State,

Florida State and Au-burn held the top three spots in the second Col-lege Football Playoff rankings, with Oregon joining them in the top four Tuesday night.

Marcus Mariota and the Ducks, coming off a 45-16 win over Stanford, moved up one spot from fifth in the initial poll by the 12-member selection committee. They moved in ahead of Alabama, a third team from the West Division of the Southeastern Confer-ence that was also up one place to fifth.

Mississippi dropped seven spots to 11th after its second consecutive loss, 35-31 to Auburn. The Rebels remained ahead of four one-loss teams from power-five conferences, directly ahead of Baylor, Ne-braska and Ohio State - Nos. 12-14, and all high-er than a week ago.

Auburn is the highest ranked of the 12 one-loss teams in the rank-ings that will ultimately determine the nation-al semifinals, and set matchups for the oth-er four marquee New Year’s Day bowls that are part of the playoff rotation.

Mississippi State held on to No. 1 after a 17-10 victory over Arkan-sas, when the Bulldogs trailed after halftime for the first time this season. Florida State overcame a 21-0 deficit at Louis-ville and won 42-31.Plea agreement

CONROE, Texas (AP) — Minnesota Vi-kings star Adrian Peter-son avoided jail Tuesday by reaching a deal with Texas prosecutors to re-solve a child abuse case that revived a national debate about corporal punishment.

Peterson was sen-tenced to a form of pro-bation after pleading no contest to a misdemean-or charge of reckless as-sault for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son. It was not immediately clear how the plea deal would affect his playing status or whether he might be subject to a new NFL policy that calls for a six-game suspension with-out pay for a first do-mestic violence offense.

The All-Pro running back was indicted in September on a felo-ny charge of injury to a child after the incident earlier this year in sub-urban Houston. He has been on paid leave un-der a special exemption from NFL Commission-er Roger Goodell.Crew penalties

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Brad Kesel-owski and Jeff Gordon avoided any penal-ty from NASCAR on Tuesday for their post-race fight at Texas. Two crew chiefs and four crew members from Hendrick Motorsports were punished for their roles in the brawl.

Spartans score 120 in openerBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

The new Southwestern men’s basketball team un-der coach Todd Lorensen appears to pack a lot of scoring firepower, open-ing with a 120-73 vic-tory over v i s i t i n g Graceland University JV Mon-day night.

J a y l o n S m i t h , s o p h o -more from Memphis, Tenn., led the Spartans with 22

points, including 13 when the Spartans were building a 62-37 halftime lead.

Smith made four of five shots from behind the arc and also chipped in seven rebounds. Josh Tolbert, freshman from Auburn, Ala., made three 3-pointers in finishing with 13 points.

“We got some quality looks early in the game to get some confidence, and made some good decisions in finishing on the breaks,” Lorensen said.

Simon Joseph, a 6-7 fresh-man from Des Moines, hauled in 14 rebounds. Freshman guard Ahmad Newsome of Lansing, Mich., had a team-high five assists.

Lorensen said the Spar-tans started out strong, and defense set the tone at the beginning of the second half with five consecu-tive defen-sive stops.

F r e s h -man TJ Bower of Nodaway V a l l e y scored all nine of his points in the first half, shooting 4-of-6 from the field including a 3-point-er. He also had three assists.

“I was happy with our ef-fort,” Lorensen said. “The guys were excited and I think that showed with the energy

they brought. I would have liked for us to take better care of the basketball and do a couple of little things better defensively, but it was a great start to our season.”

The Spartans are in action again 7 p.m. Thursday at home against Grand View University JV. One of Bow-er’s former Nodaway Valley teammates, Alex Welsch, plays on the Grand View varsity.

SWCC women drop 2nd gameBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

LAMONI — Graceland JV rode the momentum of a 40-22 first half to defeat the Southwestern women Mon-day night, 72-53.

It was the second game in three days for the Spartans, who dropped a two-point defeat at the buzzer in Satur-day’s home opener.

Southwestern shot only 25 percent from the field (15-of-59) including 2-of-13 from 3-point range.

“We did not shoot the ball well and got in a hole early,” coach Addae Houston said. “We fought back to within 12 or 13 in the second half, but they were able to stretch it out again.”

Jazzlyn Wimbush led the Spartans for the second s t r a i g h t game. The freshman guard from K a n s a s City netted 14 points. B r i n e e S t e w a r t added 10 points and four rebounds.

On the positive side, Houston said the Spartans cut their turnovers from 23 in the opener to 15 against Graceland, and created free throw opportunities in fin-ishing 20-of-29.

SWCC travels to York (Neb.) College Thursday.

BRIEFS:

Outdoor news Fee input

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) State Parks Bureau is be-ginning the process of es-tablishing rental fees for new modern family cabins at Lake Darling and Brushy Creek state parks and cre-ating rental fees for two new categories of shelters: “large” shelters and beach cabanas.

The DNR would like to hear from the public on the proposed fees before proceeding with formal rule making. Interested persons should go to the DNR website http://www.iowadnr.gov/Destinations/StateParksRecAreas/Pro-posedRuleChanges.aspx to review information on the proposed fees and view the cabin floor plan and shelter photos.

Input will be accepted via e-mail, regular mail or orally and should be sent to [email protected]; Sherry Arntzen, Iowa DNR, 502 E 9th Street, Des Moines, IA; 515/242-6233. The deadline for providing input is 4:30 p.m. CST, De-cember 1, 2014.Prairie chickens

Chad Paup, wildlife bi-ologist for the Wildlife Bu-reau’s Grand River Unit in southern Iowa, said he is happy to report the greater prairie chickens seem to be doing quite well.

“We can confidently re-port that we observed 10 to 12 broods this summer and the Nature Conser-vancy folks at the Dunn Ranch have observed 4 or 5 broods,” Paup said. He said probably the biggest con-tributing factors to the prai-rie chicken success the past couple of seasons is the hab-itat and the drier weather in June and July.

The DNR released 105 prairie chickens collected from western Nebraska in April on the Kellerton Area in Ringgold County to in-crease the local population.

The DNR releases 1,000 to 2,000 rainbow trout at select locations as part of its cool weather trout program that brings trout to areas that cannot support them during the summer months.

Trout will be released at 1 p.m., Nov. 5 in Moorland Pond, Fort Dodge; at noon, Nov. 8 in Scharnberg Pond, Spencer; at 2 p.m., Nov. 12 in Bacon Creek, Sioux City; at 10 a.m., Nov. 14 in Prairie Creek Park (Cedar Bend),

Cedar Rapids; at noon, Nov. 20 in Ada Hayden, Ames; at 1 p.m., Nov. 21 in North Prairie, Cedar Falls; and 11 a.m., Nov. 26 in Blue Pit, Mason City.

Anglers will need to have a valid fishing license and pay the trout fee to fish for or possess trout. The dai-ly limit is five trout per li-censed angler with a posses-sion limit of 10.Harvest update

The latest crop report from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship showed 61 per-cent of corn and 91 percent of soybean harvest has been complete. That’s good news for pheasant hunters.Lake projects

SPIRIT LAKE — The Iowa Department of Nat-ural Resources has begun work on lake improvement projects at Marble Lake and West Hottes Lake in Dick-inson County.

Marble Lake, and nearby West Hottes Lake, will un-dergo a shallow lakes resto-ration project beginning this winter due to deteriorating water quality and habitat providing reduced benefit to fish and wildlife.

The DNR has removed many of the fishing regula-tions at Marble Lake ahead of this renovation.

Anglers with a valid fish-ing license are allowed to harvest any size or number of fish species from Mar-ble Lake. Any number of fishing poles or jugs is al-lowed. Anglers must remain in sight of these lines at all times, and follow all other fishing regulations and area rules. Trot lines will be al-lowed (name and address must be attached), however lines may not be set across entire water body.

Nets, dynamite, poison, electric shocking devices, or any stupefying substanc-es will not be allowed. It is illegal to sell fish or stock captured fish into public waters. Liberalized fishing regulations for will remain in effect until April 1.

The health of Marble and West Hottes lakes are extremely important to the health of Big Spirit Lake and the entire Iowa Great Lakes chain. When healthy, they are an important nurs-ery area for fish, provide wildlife habitat, and filter nearly 20 percent of the wa-ter entering Big Spirit Lake.

The goal of the lake res-toration project is to get these lakes functioning in a healthy state. The proj-ect calls for installing water pumps and three fish bar-riers to allow the DNR to manage the water level and to prevent carp from enter-

ing the lake and marsh to spawn.

Both lakes drain into East Hottes Lake before entering Big Spirit Lake at Buffalo Run.

The water level will be lowered beginning in No-vember. West Hottes Lake will be drained complete-ly while Marble Lake will maintain some water. Any fish remaining in Marble Lake will be eliminated by Mother Nature during the winter.

When the project is com-plete, West Hottes Lake will be a healthy marsh with large stands of bulrushes filtering nutrients from the water. Marble Lake will be managed as a shallow lake similar to nearby Diamond Lake – vegetation around the outside to remove nutri-ents with open water in the middle for fishing.

Marble will eventually be restocked with yellow perch, with additional game fish and small predators.

Both areas will be attrac-tive to shorebirds and wa-terfowl.

The nearly $500,000 proj-ect is a partnership between the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Fisheries and Wildlife Bureaus, Lakes Restoration Program, and Watershed Improvement Section; Ducks Unlimited, North American Wetlands Conservation Act, Dickin-son County water Quality Commission, Spirit Lake Protective Association, the Iowa Department of Ag-riculture and Land Stew-ardship, Natural Resources Conservation Service and the U.S. EPA.REAP project

The Coldwater/Pine Creek Water Quality Proj-ect serves as a shining ex-ample of how a quality trout stream can respond to the enhancement of the upstream drainage with best management practic-es (BMPs) — supported by REAP funding and local ag-ricultural producers.

Voted Iowa’s Outstand-ing Watershed in 2014, the Winneshiek County water-shed project illustrates how responsible land manage-ment practices can benefit everyone.

When settlers in the late 19th century built farmsteads in the Decorah area, limited technology urged them to choose sites in sheltered val-leys, near waterways. Over time, the abundance of agri-cultural fields and livestock feedlots directly adjacent to streams caused excessive bacteria, nutrient and sed-iment levels that degraded the streams’ water quality.

Coldwater Cave, part of an underground network of rivers and springs, allows interconnectivity of ground water between Coldwater and Pine creeks’ watersheds, which were considered as one for the project. Coldwa-ter and Pine creeks share a

40,000-acre watershed and are major tributaries to the Upper Iowa River, which serves as one of Iowa’s pre-mier recreational waterways and trout fisheries.

Initiated in 2006, a variety of techniques were imple-mented in the Coldwater/Pine Creek Water Quality Project to reduce bacteria, nutrient and sediment in-fluxes. Terraces, sediment basins, grass waterways, animal waste storage sys-tems, grade stabilization structures, nutrient manage-ment plans, heavy-use area protection, livestock exclu-sion, alternative watering sources, cover crops, filter strips, diversions, prescribed grazing incentives and pas-ture/hay-land planting were promoted and successfully implemented as best man-agement practices.

An advisory board, made up of trusted local produc-ers, Soil and Water Con-servation District represen-tatives, USDA-NRCS and the area DNR fisheries bi-ologist, acted as a liaison to skeptical farmers. The ap-proach was a huge success; some of the most initially critical voices became the project’s biggest advocates.

Once locals saw practices put on the ground , 49 differ-ent producers implemented best management practices, achieving a total reduction of 6,223 tons-per-year of sediment from reaching pri-ority streams — the equiv-alent of 415 dump truck loads.

“When you have that many producers buy into it, you can see the grassroots support because initial skep-ticism to the need and suc-cess of BMPs are replaced with adoption and continued utilization of stewardship practices that are effective and yet producer friendly,” said Winneshiek Soil and Water Conservation Dis-trict watershed coordinator Corey Meyer.

Innovative, technol-ogy-driven approaches, like solar- powered water pumps, limited livestock ac-cess to stream corridors and proved landowners’ willing-ness to use more modern technologies.

Where livestock had been trampling stream banks, lunker hides have been in-stalled reducing 27 tons of sediment from reaching Coldwater Creek.

New events expand IndyCar weekend at Iowa Speedway

NEWTON — Iowa Speedway and INDYCAR officials have announced that “The Fastest Short Track on the Planet” will host the Indy Lights Pre-sented by Cooper Tires and the Pro Mazda Champion-ship Presented by Cooper Tires prior to the Verizon IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300 on July 18, 2015.

Start times will be an-nounced at a later date.

“Fans asked for more on-track entertainment on INDYCAR race day, and we are pleased to be able to provide them with it,” said Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small. “As a race fan myself, I’m excited to see the stars of tomorrow come to grips with the new Dal-lara on ‘The Fastest Short Track on the Planet.’ Iowa Speedway is the place for drivers on the rise to make a name for themselves, and we are delighted to be able to host the Indy Lights and

Pro Mazda Championship here in Newton, Iowa.”

The additions of Indy Lights and Pro Mazda Championship to the Ver-izon IndyCar Series week-end bolster an already impressive 2015 schedule which includes the previ-ously released dates for the NASCAR XFINITY Series (currently the NASCAR Nationwide Series); ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards, USAC Silver Crown Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Se-ries races.

The Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires has become a training ground for drivers who aspire to become IN-DYCAR greats. The series has groomed current Indy-Car Series drivers Scott Dix-on, Ed Carpenter, Marco Andretti, Carlos Munoz, Se-bastian Saavedra and James Hinchcliffe, among others.

To help support the new program, DuPont Pioneer provided a $5,000 grant to the school for programming such as a livestock show, ag safety event and activities at the Taylor County Fair. These activities allow stu-dents to develop their lead-ership skills and expand their knowledge of agricul-ture and the career possibil-ities in the industry.

The DuPont Pioneer Giving Program makes contributions to communi-ty-based organizations on behalf of the business and employees. Grant funding is available on a first-come, first-serve basis based on key priorities such as ag education, farm safety and general community better-ment.
