Shipley, Ernst win big in primary races By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA associate [email protected]

As the primary election results started to flood in, the severe weather moving across the south-ern half of Iowa left District 11 State Senate hopeful Republican Tom Shipley of Nodaway in the dark.

“In light of the storm, our elec-tricity at home was out,” Shi-pley said. “I couldn’t get online, I couldn’t watch TV, so when I started getting congratulatory phone calls, I still didn’t have any idea. I was still wanting some kind

of an official conformation.”Shipley won by a large margin

over fellow Republican Art Hill in the Republican primary race. The Des Moines Register reports he won 70.3 percent of the total vote. In Union County, he earned 407

votes to Hill’s 148.“I am humbled as much as any-

thing with the margin,” Shipley said. “I can’t begin to describe the amount of support I had from peo-ple across the district.”

The primary race was Shipley’s biggest hurdle en route to the state capitol. Right now there is not a Democrat opposing him for the

general election later this year.Shipley said he believed the big-

gest difference was his attention to representing the rural constituents and their issues.

“That maybe carried the day rather than getting hung up on is-sues that don’t affect their every-day lives,” Shipley said. “I learned there are a lot of good people

throughout the district, which probably is a good representation of the same thing across Iowa. They are good people trying to live their lives day to day, get things done and live the right way.”Local results

Union County did not have any contested primary races. Supervi-sor Ron Riley received a total of 598 votes in the Republican pri-mary and Paul Hayes had 78 votes in the Democrat primary.

� In the race for U.S. Senate, poll predictions held true with Joni Ernst winning the primary over Mark Jacobs and others. Ernst will face Bruce Braley in the general election this fall.

severe storms hit sw iowa

By KYLE WILSON and SARAH BROWN CNA staff reporters [email protected]

ind gusts reaching near-ly 100 miles per hour dur-

ing Tuesday’s severe storms snapped trees and power poles in several small towns across south-west Iowa.

Corning, Clearfield, Di-agonal and Lenox were hardest hit in the Creston News Advertiser coverage area by the severe thun-derstorms that began near 4 p.m. Tuesday and moved out early this morning.Diagonal

A farm north of Diago-nal owned by Dale and Marla Bickel suffered se-vere damage. Their barn (see photo above), buildings and crops were hit by 80 to 100 mile an hour winds and hail. The roof of the barn was blown off and windows were broken at their nearby rental property.

Dale and his son Brian also reported 300 acres of

alfalfa and corn were flat-tened during this storm.

“The corn was knee high yesterday,” Brian Bickel said. “It just makes you sick.”

Ed and Jan Johnston, owners of Diagonal Print-ing Museum, reported bro-ken windows there. They were cleaning up broken glass and puddles of wa-ter this morning. Ed was thankful, though, someone saw the broken windows at

the museum Tuesday night and boarded them up.

“That tells you what kind of people live in this town,” Ed said. Lenox

John Borland, general manager at Lenox Munici-pal, said high winds during the first line of severe thun-derstorms around 6 p.m. Tuesday snapped five pow-er poles on the transmission line in the southern part of Lenox.

“A total of 100 people were without power last night,” Borland said. “This morning we have about 40 homes without power and our guys are working on getting them back on by the end of this morning.”

Borland added the town will continue to be powered by a generator until this afternoon when CIPCO

Porcelain painters featured at First Friday in Creston By SARAH BROWNCNA staff [email protected]

Creston:Arts presents the work of the Cres-ton Area Porcelain Painters 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at Creston:Arts Gallery, 116 W. Adams St.

The creative collective of artists, which started in 1998, includes Judy Gile, Joyce Anderson, Sher-yl Bolton, Jill Jackson, Glida Jones, Polly McCoy, Ann Moore, Beverly Moss, Deloris Plymesser, Carolyn Stamper, Judith Wachter, Mary Reitsmi-er and Margie Patch — some of which travel to Creston from towns as far as Winterset, Lenox and Greenfield.

Judy Gile of Creston said each artist has her own technique, sub-jects and themes, despite working with the same medium.

“That’s the beauty of the club,” said Gile.

While motifs such as flowers and fruit were popular in the Victorian era, mod-ern day porcelain painters have taken the craft to a new level.

Gile, who paints human and animal portraits, said the artists paint on a va-riety of unsuspecting objects such as tiles, mugs, vases and China or porcelain eggs.

“We try to get people to think beyond the box,” said Gile. “Art shouldn’t be in boundaries.”Process

Giles said porcelain painting is not for anyone looking for instant gratification because of the length it takes to complete one piece.

Most porcelain or China paints are a dry powder and must be mixed with some type of oil. Gile said, even though there are supplies available from art stores and online, she has used everything from mineral oil to transmission fluid in some of her porcelain pieces.

� Artists from Creston, Winterset, Lenox and Greenfield will present their work 6 p.m. Friday at the Creston:Arts gallery at the restored Creston Depot.

Recorder Paula White and Attorney Tim Kenyon re-ceived votes in the Republi-can primary with no Demo-crats challenging for the general election.

“I think the election went very smooth even with the storm coming through,” said Union County Auditor Sandy Hysell. “I think the poll workers stayed calm and knew what they had to do. Despite the turbulence outside, everything went smoothly inside.”

In Adair County, the only local contested primary was for District 4 Board of Su-pervisors. Brian Rohrig won with 99 votes defeating Cliff Sheriff.

Adams County also had a contested primary for District 4 Board of Supervi-sors. Leland Shipley picked up 66 votes to defeat Kevin Olson.

In Ringgold County, Paul Dykstra picked up 46.5 per-cent of the vote for Board of Supervisors. Tracee Knapp earned 31.33 percent.

Taylor County had no lo-cal races contested in the primary.

Statewide resultsUnion County voters

were consistent with most of the statewide primary election results. About 10.4 percent of eligible voters participated in at the eight precincts in Union County and in absentee voting.

“We did have very low turnout, just barely getting over 10 percent,” Hysell said. “Some of that may have been from the storms, but I think a lot of it was

because there wasn’t that much on the Democratic ballot as far as contested races.”

In the U.S. Senate race, the poll predictions held true with Joni Ernst win-ning big over Sam Clovis, Mark Jacobs, Scott Scha-ben and Matt Whitaker. The Des Moines Register reports she earned 56.2 per-cent of the total vote.

The tightest primary race of the night was for the empty District 3 U.S. Rep-resentative seat. Brad Zaun picked up 24.7 percent of the vote, but Robert Cra-mer and Matt Schultz were close behind with 21.2 and 20.1 percent respectively.

In Union County, Monte Shaw received the most votes with Cramer second and David Young third.

CorningCorning residents also lost

power around 6 p.m. Tues-day, but power has since been restored with the exception of a couple homes.

Donnie Willet, emergency management coordinator for Adams County, reported ten-nis ball size hail and 5 1/2 inch-es of rainfall in his area.

“We have two county ve-hicles with busted windshields due to hail,” Willet said. “I know at least two homes had trees fall on them. We have a lot of tree limbs down.”

CrestonJo Duckworth, emergency

management coordinator for Union County, had no reports

of major damage or flood-ing this morning. Duckworth said southern Union County received dime-size hail. Total rainfall in Creston was esti-mated at 3 inches.

This line of severe weather hit southwest Iowa around 4 p.m. and finally moved out early this morning around 3 a.m.

StatewideA tornado was reported

near Oakland. National Weather Service sent a survey team there this morning to gather information.

Meanwhile, large hail and flooding over the hoods of ve-hicles was reported in Omaha by The Omaha World Herald.

Today, highs are expected in the mid-70s for southwest Iowa with north winds gusting up to 25 miles per hour with a 10 percent chance of rainfall.

STORMS:

Porcelain paint is typically applied as an over glaze to an already glazed porcelain or China piece and fired in a kiln. After the first firing, more paint is applied and the piece is fired again. This process of painting and fir-ing continues until the artist feels the painting is com-plete.

Warren Center to present “Respect: A Musical Journey of Women” GREENFIELD — The

Warren Cultural Center will present the University of Iowa Department of The-atre Art’s Iowa Summer Rep touring production of “Respect: A Musical Jour-ney of Women” 7 p.m. June 24. This new musical, writ-ten and created by Dorothy Marcic, tells the journey of women using Top-40 music from songs like “Someone to Watch Over Me” to “I Will Survive.”

Admission to the musical is a suggested donation of $10 per person. Auditorium doors will open at 6:15 p.m. Beer, wine, soft drinks and snacks will be available.

Marcic combines excerpts of more than 60 songs with women’s own stories about finding dreams, lost love, relationship issues, entering the workforce and gaining independence. From the codependence of “I Will Follow Him,” to the anger of “These Boots are Made for Walking,” to the cyni-cism of “What’s Love Got to Do with It,” and finally to the strength of “Hero,” this show is more than just a story worth telling, it’s a must-see and must-hear pro-duction.

Marcic created this musi-cal based on her book, “Re-spect: Women and Popular Music,” where she analyzed all Top-40 female song lyr-ics since 1900. Learn more at www.respectthemusical.com.

“This show is crammed

full of great Top-40 pop hits, sung by our fabulous cast,” said Eric Forsythe, head of the MFA Directing program at the University of Iowa. “It’s toe-tapping, hum-along, and maybe sing-along fun for everyone. I mean: ‘Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man,’ ‘Boogie Woo-gie Bugle Boy,’ ‘Tammy,’ ‘I Am Woman,’ ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,’ ‘I Will Survive,’ and ‘R-E-S-P-E-C-T!’ Great!”

The University of Iowa’s professional repertory the-atre company, Iowa Summer Rep, represents a rich tradi-tion of nearly a century of summer theatre at the Uni-versity of Iowa. Beginning with Edward C. Mabie’s arrival on campus in 1920, summer play production became a regular feature. While many things have changed in the rich history of summer play production, Iowa Summer Rep is proud to continue this tradition with a touring production during the summer of 2014, while the Theatre Building is under construction to re-pair damage caused by the flood of 2008.

“Over the 90-plus years of Iowa Summer Rep’s jour-ney, we’ve focused on bring-ing quality summer theatre — by turns entertaining, provocative, gripping, and delightful — to Iowa audi-ences,” Forsythe said. “This year, we’re taking the show on the road to Iowa com-munities throughout the

state. If you’ve not been able to come to Iowa City to see our work for yourself, here’s your chance! ‘Re-spect’ is the perfect show for a date or family fun. There’s something here for every-one.”

This Iowa Summer Rep touring production is made possible by the University of Iowa Department of The-atre Arts. “Respect: A Mu-sical Journey of Women” is presented by special ar-rangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.

Green fire, a dragon, and a knight fighting against magic and a villain for a beautiful girl.

My childhood memory of “Sleeping Beauty” was built out of an adrenaline rush of anticipa-tion, waiting to see if good could once again triumph over evil.

As I spent time recovering from my 50K race this past week, I had a chance to catch up on some mov-ies, both new and old. So Friday Pam and I decided to watch the new take on the classic “Sleeping Beauty” story titled “Maleficent” starring Angelina Jolie.

With a sack of buttery popcorn, we donned our 3D glasses and set-tled in just as the last preview fin-ished, hoping the “experts” were

off on their lackluster reviews.The opening scenes offered an-

other flash back, this time to the first time I watched “Avatar.” The colors were amazing, the 3D effects were not overbearing, but provided a nice depth of field to make the imaginary world Malefi-cent called home very visually ap-pealing.

And the character develop-ment of the should be antagonist

was the highlight of the movie for me. Jolie’s acting and the storyline quickly diminished and I felt sym-pathy for the character I feared as a child.

As the story went on, it contin-ued to draw me in as Maleficent and the beauty, Aurora, devel-oped a friendship.

I was hooked and once again, I was waiting with anticipation for the final fight. Aurora pricked her finger, the curse sent her into a deep sleep and the stage was set for an epic conclusion.

But, in my opinion, it never came.

Sleeping Beauty was asleep for about 20 seconds before a kiss of “true love” woke her up. There

was a fire-breathing dragon, but the fight scene seemed rushed, less heroic than my memories of the movie.

And the conclusion didn’t feel like Sleeping Beauty, but I guess that is why it was Maleficent’s sto-ry, not Aurora’s.

My next movie was from the comfort of home. After listening to Sports Editor Scott Vicker talk about the new television series “Fargo,” I had the urge to check out another Quentin Tarantino movie, “Reservoir Dogs.”

Six criminals are brought to-gether by Joe Cabbot to execute a diamond robbery, but everything goes terribly wrong when the po-lice get tipped off about the heist.

After some of the criminals are able to shoot their way out of the store, they meet at the rendezvous point to discuss how they were set up.

From the opening credits it was a tense movie and in Tarantino fashion, it eventually became a bloodbath.

Both movies were enjoyable, es-pecially since it gave me a chance to get off of my feet and let my ach-ing quadriceps relax. But where “Reservoir Dogs” delivered on my expectations, “Maleficent” fell short of my childhood memories.

But like the end of my 50K, I can’t let a tough finish ruin the ex-perience and the memories I will be recalling years from now.

Donald Sterling was welcomed at a black Baptist church

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

Phil Mickelson is under probe for insider trading after hebought Clorox stock just be-fore a takeover caused Clorox stock to soar. It’s hilarious. Phil’s a Mormon, he’s a pro golfer, he lives in La Jolla and he’s in trouble for investing in a company that makes things evenwhiter.

President Obama announced the U.S. traded five Talibanprisoners held in Guantanamo for one American who is held captive by the Taliban Saturday. That’s the U.S. government in a nutshell. We can’t even effect a prisoner swap without running up an eighty percent deficit.

GOP senators ripped President Obama Monday for trading fivetop Taliban prisoners for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl without telling Congress. The president did his job. The VA scandal is totally forgotten and Benghazi is so far in the rear view mirror it’s now a question on Jeopardy.

Donald Sterling was welcomed at a black Baptist church heattended in L.A. Sunday. What else could they do? The parishio-ners had come to church to wor-ship a controversial Jew who got crucified for speaking out, and look who shows up at eleven o’clock on Sunday morning.

Steve Ballmer offered two billion dollars to purchase theL.A. Clippers from the embattled Sterling family. With any luck, thesale will help ease racial tensions in the sports world. Donald Ster-ling plans to take the two billion dollars and use it to buy the Wash-ington Redskins.

Buckingham Palace hired a female minder to halt Duchess

Kate’s flying skirts. Her skirt twice blew up exposing her backside this month and a long range lens caught her topless last year. Kate’s either really unlucky, or she’s teaching strippers everywhere to take their time onstage.

John Daly told an interview-er he lost fifty million dollarsgambling in Las Vegas over the years. He played blackjack ten hands at a time. Daly made no ef-fort at the tables to monitor the number of drinks he had, because he didn’t want to be kicked out of the casino for counting.

San Jose medical marijua-na shops will give free pot tocardholders to instruct them how to vote in California elections andgive them direction to the polls. It’s over now. No one’s going tounseat Jerry Brown if you add the stoner vote to his promise to cre-ate a better Mexico.

The Daily Mail said Rio will host a Miss Prostitute Pageantfor World Cup fans. Hookers stand onstage dressed beautifully, they list their favorite positions, and say how much they charge for each one. Picture a presidential debate with all the candidates on sodium pentathol.

Jay Carney resigned as White House Press Secretary Friday.For three years he defended Obama through the IRS, NSA, AP spying, Benghazi, and VA scandals plus the Obamacare roll-out. Jay Carney is leaving to take a less stressful job, defusing nuclear bombs in New Mexico.

Maleficent didn’t live up to my childhood memories

Letter to the editor

In response to an article published in the church section

From the Rev. Clark L. FinehoutCreston

I write in response to an article published in the “CHURCH” section of your newspaper on Thursday, May 29, 2014, titled “United Methodist churches re-alignment.”

As a former pastor of First Unit-ed Methodist Church of Creston and Jerusalem United Methodist Church, I found the article went beyond a mere announcement of the simple facts of a realignment of churches. I served as the se-nior pastor who helped construct what was originally a healthy and thriving merger between the two churches. It grieves me to see what has become of that merger. There are subtleties of perspec-tive in the aforementioned article that have not fallen on deaf ears.

I take offense at the article’s lack of a signature. This lack of a signature makes the article ap-

pear as an official news releases (which it is not). I’d hate to think the Creston News Advertiser has been co-opted into a power strug-gle. I doubt the article was writ-ten by staff at the newspaper.

The article gives a skewed per-spective of the relationship that exists between the two churches. As such, the article portrays an utter lack of respect for the polity of the United Methodist Church. Hence, the article shows an utter lack of respect for both churches. Normally, proper etiquette gives prerogative to the acting Bishop of the Conference to make any such announcements. Otherwise, it smacks of presumptuous arro-gance on the part of the person who wrote the article. Thus, I believe the article shows an utter lack of respect for the authority of the acting Bishop, as well.

As a disabled pastor of the Iowa Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church my credentials are held with the Conference

through First United Method-ist Church of Creston. I consider First United Methodist Church of Creston my “home church.” Consequently, I have a deep re-spect for the leadership of the Rev. Gideon Gallo who has been serving in Creston for quite some time. I have a deep reverence, as well, for First United Methodist Church of Creston that has dili-gently been a positive contribu-tion to the Creston community.

The article printed in your pa-per on May 29 is subtle, but con-sists of much more than simple news. In the article’s contrast between the two churches there is a negative biased perspective. Of course, my perspective is also biased. The only difference be-tween me and the author of the article is that I am bold enough to sign my name and take account-ability for my words.

With Offense Concerning the Perceived Bias, Rev. Clark L. Finehout

BUSINESS/FARMBUSINESS/FARM Rice receives 2014 Dekalb Agricultural Accomplishment Award

Taylor Rice of Creston High School was recently presented the school’s highest honor, the Dekalb Agricultural Award Ac-complishment Award, sponsored by Monsanto Company.

Rice, daughter of Mi-chelle Rice, received the award for excellence in academics, leadership and agricultural work experi-ence. Rice’s significant experiences and accom-plishments have included serving as a chapter officer for three years, receiving district gold for job inter-view and attending Nation-al FFA Convention. Kelsey Bailey is Rice’s agricultural education instructor at Creston High School.

This year the Dekalb Ag-ricultural Accomplishment Award celebrates its 67th

anniversary. Over these 67 years more than 168,000 high school seniors from across the country have received the award, which has become a symbol for excellence and the school’s highest agricultural honor.

As the winner of the 2014 award, Rice’s name will be recorded on a per-manent plaque displayed at Creston High School.

Monsanto, a long-time supporter of agricultural education, FFA, 4-H and other farm youth orga-nizations and initiatives, sponsors the Dekalb Agri-cultural Accomplishment Award. Monsanto is a leading global provider of technology-based solutions and agricultural products that improve farm produc-tivity and food quality.

Union County Friends of 4-H awards scholarships Union County Friends of

4-H recently awarded eight scholarships to active 4-H members in Union Coun-ty. These individuals have shown dedication and ac-complishment throughout their involvement in the 4-H program locally. The fol-lowing graduating seniors earned scholarships:

Sydney WeisYears in 4-H: 9College/Major: Iowa State

University for animal sci-ence and microbiology

Memorable experience: Being crowned the 2013 Union County Fair Queen and when Doris Hood bought one of Polly Sweet’s “famous” gooseberry pies for me on sale night.

Lane MillerYears in 4-H: 9College/Major: South-

western Community College for ag education

Memorable experience: Attending the State 4-H Youth Conference in Ames

and having the opportunity to meet other 4-H’ers from across Iowa.

Sarah WaigandYears in 4-H: 9College/Major: Iowa State

University for apparel, mer-chandising and design

Memorable experience: One year at the county fair, my ‘friends’ thought it would be funny to practice their roping skills on me. It was funny until they decided to tie me to the grandstands and leave me there with no way to escape. They came back for me eventually af-ter taking pictures of me tied up. It was all in good humor though and gave us something to laugh about for quite a while. If it wasn’t for 4-H, I wouldn’t have all of the amazing friendships and the sense of humor that I have today.

Zach PeppmeierYears in 4-H: 9College/Major: South-

western Community College

and then to Iowa State Uni-versity for ag engineering

Memorable experience: Attending the 4-H State Convention Swine Work-shop and winning grand champion market hog my first year of 4-H.

Caitlynn HaightYears in 4-H: 8College/Major: North-

western College in Orange City

Memorable experience: Attending the State 4-H Style Show at Iowa State University, where I not only met people with the same interests as me, but also at-tending workshops on cloth-ing selection, running a busi-ness and elements of design.

Cooper BaileyYears in 4-H: 9College/Major: Northwest

Missouri State University for animal science, genetics and minor in ag business

Memorable experience: Winning reserve grand champion market steer,

champion purchased steer and champion market heifer all in the same year at county fair.

Adam BakerYears in 4-H: 9College/Major: Iowa State

University for ag businessMemorable experience:

Painting the county fair-grounds barns with Maddie Skarda and getting more paint on ourselves than on the barns.

Caleb CramerYears in 4-H: 8College/Major: South-

western Community College for welding and industrial technology

Memorable Experience: When I had my first project selected to go to the state fair. Having a project select-ed gives a person such a posi-tive feeling of accomplish-ment and pride. I couldn’t stop smiling. It just made me feel so good about myself. It motivates you to go on and try new and greater things.

Alegent Creighton Health honored among nation’s top 15 health systems

OMAHA, Neb. — For the second consecutive year, Alegent Creighton Health, including Mercy Hospital, Corning, has been named one of the nation’s 15 Top Health Systems by Truven Health Analytics, a leading provider of information and solutions to improve the cost and quality of health care. Alegent Creighton Health is the only system in Nebraska or Iowa to be named to the list.

Researchers from the Tru-ven Health Analytics 100 Top Hospitals program ana-lyzed the clinical quality and efficiency of 338 health sys-tems, including a total of 104 mid-sized health systems, to identify the top 15.

“It is a great honor for this organization to be measured against our peers and be told that we are one of the top 15 health systems in the na-tion,” said Cliff Robertson, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Alegent Creighton Health and the Network. “I’m proud of our entire team for giving pa-tients the best health care value by providing high-quality care while working to lower costs. This recognition sends a strong message that we are doing what’s best for our patients throughout our

health system.”Truven Health Analytics

researchers analyzed pub-lic information — Medicare cost reports, Medicare Pro-vider Analysis and Review (MedPAR) data, and core measures and patient satis-faction data from the Cen-ters for Medicare and Medic-aid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare website.

“This year’s health sys-tem winners are setting the national standard for higher quality, efficiency and patient perception of care, which to-gether mean higher value for each community served,” said Jean Chenoweth, se-nior vice president for per-formance improvement and 100 Top Hospitals programs at Truven Health Analytics. “These systems have strong leadership and clinical excel-lence. And they are, or stand to become, outstanding part-

ners with employers and other stakeholders in setting goals for improving commu-nity health.”

Among the key findings in the study were the following:

• Better Survival Rates: The winning 15 top health systems experienced 2 per-cent fewer deaths than non-winning peer-group hospi-tals.

• Lower 30-Day Mortal-ity Rates: Winning systems’ 30-day mortality rates were lower than peer systems’, and smaller-sized winning systems outperformed their peers by the widest margin.

• Fewer Complications: Patients of the winning health systems had 3 percent fewer complications than pa-tients in other systems.

• Shorter Hospital Stays: Patients treated in the win-ning system hospitals had a median average length of

stay of 4.5 days, over half a day shorter than their peers’ median of 5.0 days.

• Better Patient Safety and Core Measure Adher-ence: The top health systems had 8 percent fewer adverse patient safety events than ex-pected, given the case mix of the particular hospital, and had better adherence to core measures of care than their peers.

Thursday, June 5, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

This is a good day to improve where you work or introduce reforms on how things are done. Similarly, it’s a good day to improve your health. Bonus!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Because you are in a resourceful frame of mind today, you see new applica-tions for things. You also might see new ways to work with children or improve something related to sports.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Look for ways to make improvements at home, especially

in areas related to laundry, plumbing, garbage and recy-cling. Take some time to declutter where you live.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your style of communicating is convincing today! That’s why this is a strong day for those of you who sell, market, teach, write or act.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You are in a resourceful frame of mind today, which is why you might see new ways to earn money or new uses for some-thing you already own. Don’t be afraid to test your ideas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Take a realistic look in the mirror today and ask yourself how you can improve your image. After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Any kind of research you do today will yield results. Because you have excellent focus and a penetrating mind, you will instantly go for the jugular.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A conversation with a female acquaintance will be honest and to the point (perhaps ruth-lessly so). Today you want the nitty-gritty facts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) People in power (par-ents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police) will be impressed with your suggestions about improving something. Perhaps you see ways to cut costs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) In discussions about poli-tics, religion and racial issues, you will be persuasive today. However, you also might encounter people with strong views!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Look for ways to reduce

your debt and get better use out of something that you share with someone else. Perhaps you can see a better way to divide something.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Conversations with part-ners and close friends will be powerful but honest and to the point. It might be wise to sugarcoat your opinions. Ya think?

YOU BORN TODAY You are original and definitely have your own take on things. What seems simple to you

might be strange to others. Nevertheless, you want to be understood. (Sometimes you are strongly compulsive.) This year something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for some-thing new to enter your world. It’s a good year to travel.

Birthdate of: John Carlos, Olympic athlete and activist; Salvatore Ferragamo, shoe designer; Susan Lynch, actress.

Dear Heloise: While staying at our son’s home, I decided to make a cake and bought some EGGS. I put the eggs on a middle shelf in the refrigerator. When I went to use them, a day or two later, they were frozen solid.

I peeled the eggs I needed, which was easy, since they were frozen, let them thaw and then used them. The cake was good. Can eggs be frozen for a period of time and still be good? — Kathleen K. in Connecticut

Eggs can be frozen, but NOT IN THE SHELL. You were lucky this time, but here’s what to do in the future: Remove eggs from shells, beat the entire egg (yolks and whites) together, then freeze in freezer-safe con-tainers. Use within four months.

When you are ready to use the frozen eggs, thaw in the re-frigerator (overnight) or run un-der cold water. Use these eggs immediately after thawing and only in foods that will be thor-oughly cooked. — Heloise

SEND A GREAT HINT TO:HeloiseP.O. Box 795000San Antonio, TX 78279-5000Fax: 210-HELOISEEmail: Heloise@Heloise.

com MULTIPLE USES

Dear Heloise: I read your col-umn daily in The Morgan City (La.) Daily Review and have picked up many helpful hints in the past years.

Some of your readers state that they use their pizza stones only for cooking pizza. I find multiple uses for mine, and thought your readers might be interested. Baking biscuits on it produces an amazing product, especially homemade biscuits. I also use it for free-form tarts, dinner rolls, round or shaped breads and cookies. Any type of dough that isn’t too loose or runny cooks nicely! — Tina B. in Louisiana

You’re so right! Many read-ers also use theirs to cook pies because it browns the bottoms beautifully! — Heloise

DIFFERENT OATSDear Heloise: I keep seeing

steel-cut oats in more and more stores. How are they different from regular oats? — Chris W. in Pennsylvania

Well, the groats (otherwise known as grain kernels) become

steel-cut oats (or Irish oats) once a sharp metal blade cuts them into two or three pieces.

Regular, or rolled, oats are groats that are steamed and then turned into flakes during a rolling process, which flattens them.

Both steel-cut oats and rolled oats have a fast cooking time. The only difference you may notice, when eating them, is the texture. — Heloise

PERFECT PUDDINGDear Heloise: I am probably

one of the few who still likes to make the pudding that you cook before placing in the refrigera-tor. I make this type of pudding often, but I don’t care for the “skin” that forms on top of the pudding as it sets. So, I take plastic wrap and press it on top of the pudding. No more “skin” to peel off. — F.W., via email

SLICING STRAWBER-RIES

Dear Heloise: I had a lot of strawberries to slice, so I thought about using the egg slicer. They came out perfectly cut. Just slice the tops off be-fore placing the strawberries in the egg slicer. — Cecilia L., via email

Panther sophomore Hance ties for 31stBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

AMES — Creston/O-M sophomore Madison Hance gained some valuable expe-rience despite not contend-ing for a medal in the Class 4A girls state golf tourna-ment here Monday and Tuesday.

Hance tied Newton’s Shelbey Cochran for 31st place in the 36-hole com-petition at Ames Golf and Country Club with rounds of 101 and 98 for a total of 53-over par 199.

Hance began on the back nine both days, shooting 52-49 on Monday and 48-50 on Tuesday on the par 73 course.

“This was a great expe-rience for Madison as a sophomore,” Panther coach Jan Lesan said. “She’s used to playing at Afton and at Crestmoor, which are more hilly. This is a flat course

and you can get in the trees. She got more comfortable in playing the course on the second day, but she strug-gled a little with her short game today. The greens have waves in them, they’re not just flat. You have to read the greens and play the breaks.”

Hance said she was more relaxed Tuesday after play-ing the course once.

“It did help to kind of know where things were at,” Hance said. “But I struggled on my chips and putts. But a lot of my longer shots were a lot better than yesterday. I was inconsistent with direc-tion yesterday.”

Hance was unable to match her state-qualifying performance of an 87 in re-gional play at Oskaloosa.

“I’m really proud of my-self for even making it,”

Varsity games suspendedBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

Even with the start of the varsity game moved up to 4:30 p.m. from its nor-mal 7 p.m. starting time, the Creston Panthers and Clarinda Cardinals were unable to complete their game Tuesday, as lightning caused the game to be sus-pended.

Creston led 2-1 after three innings of play, when the game was put into a 30-minute delay because of lightning in the vicinity.

After several more light-ning strikes nearby and after consulting the radar map, officials finally sus-pended the game.

All of the scoring came in the first inning of the in-complete game.

Clarinda’s Paige Sunder-man hit a one-out single to right field and advanced to second base on a passed

ball. She advanced to third base on a groundout to pitcher Haylee LaMasters.

LaMasters appeared to have worked her way out of the inning, getting Karyee Buch to strike out on three pitches, but the third strike was dropped.

The throw down to first base hit Buch in the back and Sunderman scampered home to put the first run on the board.

Creston answered back in the bottom of the first inning as Josie Sickels worked a leadoff walk. She advanced to second on a Taylor Briley single. La-Masters loaded the bases with a single of her own to left field.

Natalie Mostek drew a bases-loaded walk to score Sickels, and then Shelby Palser hit into a fielder’s choice to the shortstop, who stepped on third base to get LaMasters out, as Briley came home on the

play.A Jami Sickels single

loaded the bases again for Creston, but the Panthers were unable to add to the lead.

The Panthers again had the bases loaded in the bottom of the second in-ning, but LaMasters was called out by interference after running into Clarinda shortstop Jaedra Moses as she attempted to throw to first, ending the inning.

As of press time, there was no date scheduled yet for resuming the game.

MARSHALLTOWN — The Pride of Iowa Conference was well-represented in Class 1A and 2A girls state golf action Monday and Tuesday at American Legion Memorial Golf Course here.

The Numbers Game

Florida winsOKLAHOMA CITY

— Kirsti Merritt hit a three-run homer, and Florida defeated Alabama 6-3 on Tuesday night to win its first NCAA soft-ball championship.

The Gators (55-12) swept the championship series 2-0. Florida was the national runner-up in 2009 and 2011.

Jackie Traina, one of the nation’s best pitchers, gave up five runs in 1 1/3 in-nings before getting pulled for Alabama (53-13). Florida coach Tim Walton chose not to start ace Han-nah Rogers, but she en-tered the game in the sixth inning after Lauren Hae-ger and Delanie Gourley gave her a lead. She gave up one run in two innings. Merritt helped her with a spectacular diving catch in center field for the first out in the top of the sev-enth.

Florida beat its South-eastern Conference rival despite committing four errors and giving Ala-bama (53-13) plenty of chances to score.Marinowithdraws

NEW YORK — For-mer Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino has withdrawn from a concussion-related law-suit against the NFL.

“Within the last year I authorized a claim to be filed on my behalf just in case I needed future medical coverage to pro-tect me and my family in the event I later suffered from the effects of head trauma,” Marino said in a statement.

“In so doing I did not realize I would be auto-matically listed as a plain-tiff in a lawsuit against the NFL. I have made the decision it is not nec-essary for me to be part of any claims or this law-suit and therefore I am withdrawing as a plaintiff effective immediately. I am sympathetic to other players who are seeking relief who may have suf-fered head injuries. I also disclaim any references in the form complaint of cur-rent head injuries.”

Marino was one of 15 players who filed a lawsuit against the NFL in federal court last week. The suit did not specify any health problem suffered by the plaintiffs. Royals rally

ST. LOUIS — Eric Hosmer drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth inning to complete the Kansas City Royals’ 8-7 comeback victory over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium.

The Royals faced a 4-0 deficit early on and trailed 7-6 before Alcides Esco-bar tied things with a RBI single in the eighth.

Hosmer followed Omar Infante’s one-out double in the ninth with a single to left field off Trev-or Rosenthal (0-3), and Infante beat Matt Hol-liday’s off-target throw to the plate.

Wade Davis (5-1) re-corded his 13th straight scoreless appearance in the eighth to pick up the victory, Kansas City’s fourth in its last six games, and Greg Holland posted his 16th save with a flaw-less ninth.

Outdoor news No CWD

A deer shot during the regular gun season in Alla-makee County was the lone positive out of more than 4,000 samples collected from 2013/14 looking for the pres-ence of chronic wasting dis-ease (CWD) in Iowa.

That positive sample from a wild deer was the focus of three public meetings in April, where the DNR engaged Allamakee and Clayton County residents to work together to increase surveillance and the number of deer samples collected in a five mile radius from where the positive deer was harvested.

“This additional surveil-lance, along with more than 1,100 deer sampled in the past 12 years in this immedi-ate area, will help us to de-termine if CWD has spread to other deer. If no further cases are found in the next three years, we will go back to routine testing,” said Dr. Dale Garner, chief of Wild-life for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. “If additional cases are found, we will work with the public to decide how to proceed.”

Since 2002, the Iowa DNR has sampled nearly 51,000 wild deer and 3,500 captive deer and elk for CWD. A majority of sam-ples came from 11 counties in northeast Iowa, which is the area closest to the CWD endemic areas in Wisconsin and Illinois, and Minnesota’s southeast containment area.

Sampling effort also con-centrated on three areas sur-rounding captive facilities that had animals test positive in Iowa in 2012 and the area north of where Missouri’s positive CWD deer have been found.

No additional positive CWD results have been found in wild deer. The DNR is encouraging the public to report all road kill deer, and sick or severely emaciated deer found in the targeted area by calling 563-546-7962 or 563-380-3422.Falcon banding

Two young peregrine fal-cons will be banded on June 6, at the American Enter-prise Insurance building, 601 Sixth Avenue, in downtown Des Moines.

Staff with the Iowa De-partment of Natural Re-sources will discuss the per-egrine recovery in Iowa at 11 a.m. in the courtyard of American Enterprise Insur-ance building.

Downtown Des Moines has a second pair of falcons nesting with an unknown number of young at the Cap-itol.

Fifteen other nest sites have been documented around Iowa, which is an in-crease of two. New nesting sites are at Bellevue State Park, in Bellevue, and Eagle Point Park, in Dubuque.

Peregrine falcons are con-sidered the standard-bearers of the Endangered Species

Act. They have recovered to breeding status and are no longer endangered.

The American Enterprise Insurance building has host-ed a nesting pair of peregrine falcons each year since 1993. Stephens State Forest

CHARITON – A cer-emony to dedicate three Stephens State Forest units and the surrounding area as Iowa’s newest Bird Conser-vation Area (BCA) will take place June 19, at 1:30 p.m. The event will be held at the Lucas County Conservation Board Headquarters at Pin Oak Marsh, located about one mile south of Chariton along Hwy. 14.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is hosting the dedication that will include brief presenta-tions and the unveiling of a special Bird Conservation Area sign. Following the ceremony, there will be a short tour and possible bird-ing hike of Stephens State Forest.

The creation of Bird Con-servation Areas in Iowa is a priority for DNR’s wildlife diversity program and is part of a larger international ef-fort promoting assistance for birds with the greatest con-servation need. This will be the second BCA centered on Stephens State Forest units and the fourth BCA cen-tered on Iowa state forests.

“Designation of Ste-phens State Forest as Iowa’s 19th official Bird Conser-vation Area will give state and national recognition to the area’s importance for both nesting and migratory birds,” said Bruce Ehres-man, DNR wildlife diver-sity program biologist.

Both Stephens Forest and the surrounding woodland and grassland habitat in pri-vate ownership provide criti-cal nesting habitat for declin-ing species such as American woodcock, whip-poor-will, wood thrush, Kentucky war-bler, and bobolink. To date, 185 species of birds have been identified in this pro-posed BCA, with more than 25 percent of these species considered of greatest con-servation need.

The emphasis of the Bird Conservation Area pro-gram is to encourage habi-tat conservation at a large landscape scale to establish stable or growing bird popu-lations, and the Stephens State Forest area, with its ex-isting tracts of public forests interspersed with privately owned woodlands and grass-lands, is an ideal candidate.

Stephens State Forest-Thousand Acres BCA will be the result of state, fed-eral, and county agencies, as well as private conservation

organizations and citizens, working together to empha-size the importance of bird habitat.

“This cooperative effort represents a partnership that serves as a good example of ways to better conserve all natural resources in this unique forest-savanna land-scape,” says Jessica Flatt, DNR area forester at Ste-phens State Forest. “Diverse management insures habitat for all native species while providing recreational op-portunities for hunters, as well as hikers, bird watchers, and many other outdoor en-thusiasts.”

“Bird watching is one of the nation’s fastest-growing outdoor activities, and this new BCA is likely to attract even more bird enthusiasts from throughout the region. This should result in the growth of the local tourism economy while also building sustainable local bird popu-lations,” Ehresman said.

The public is welcome to attend this event.Cicadas

Periodical cicadas are emerging in the woods of Iowa after living under-ground as nymphs for 17 years.

These red-eyed periodical cicadas occur in the south-eastern half of Iowa, and in Missouri and Illinois with other broods occurring at different times throughout the country. The best place to find them is in native woodlands. They are the longest living insect in North America.

Periodical cicadas do not have chewing mouth parts and will feed only on sap posing little threat to plants. They will not bite or sting.

Much like the annual cica-das, adult males will “sing” from late morning through early afternoon for five or six weeks after hatching. This “singing” can be incred-ibly loud due to the high population of periodical ci-cadas that emerge during each cycle.

Iowans who are lucky enough to see periodical cicadas are encouraged to report their sighting to the National Geographic So-ciety Magicicada Mapping Project at www.magicicada.org to help researchers bet-ter understand these long-lived insects.

More information on these unique insects can be found through the Iowa State Uni-versity Department of Ento-mology at www.ent.iastate.edu.

Hance said. “It was kind of lucky, because regional was my best score ever for 18 holes.”

The dual-sport athlete who also ran on the track team this spring shows promise for state conten-tion in her two remaining golf seasons, assistant coach Kristopher Hayes said.

“It’s good to see her smil-ing today, because I know she was disappointed in how she played yesterday,” Hayes said. “There’s a lot of pressure on that first day. She’s got two more years. I think she could be back. We’d like to have our whole girls team here someday. The future is looking good.”

Class 4A medalist was Maddie Bertsch of team champion Cedar Rapids Xavier at 3-over 74-75 — 149. ADM (Adel) was fifth.

“Good JV game against a solid pitcher,” Creston JV coach Teri Keeler said. “Had a couple of chances

New blood center to serve Adair County Memorial Hospital

GREENFIELD — As of June 1, LifeServe Blood Center, a community blood center, became the new supplier of lifesaving blood products to Adair County Memorial Hospital and the patients it serves.

“LifeServe Blood Center is a local blood center. We have been the sole supplier of lifesaving blood products to hospitals in Iowa, Ne-braska and South Dakota for over 50 years,” said Beth Phillips, public relations and marketing manager. “We are thrilled to begin serv-ing Adair County Memorial Hospital in Greenfield and look forward to being a part of the community.”

Greenfield residents who donate with LifeServe Blood Center will make an impact on a local level, since dona-tions collected by LifeServe stay within the communities it serves.

LifeServe will host its first blood drive in Greenfield June 16 at Adair County

Memorial Hospital. Support the new local

blood center by scheduling a donation with Tiffany John-son at 641-743-1762 or visit www.lifeservebloodcenter.org.

The Blood Center of Iowa joined operations with Siouxland Community Blood Bank in April 2010 to become LifeServe Blood Center.

As one of the 15th largest blood centers in the country, LifeServe Blood Center pro-vides blood and blood prod-ucts to more than 100 hos-pitals located across Iowa, Nebraska and South Dako-ta. LifeServe is committed to saving lives by providing premier service to volunteer blood donors and access to a safe, quality blood supply for hospitals and patients.

For more information about blood donation or to schedule an appointment to donate blood, call 800-287-4903 or visit www.lifeserve-bloodcenter.org.
