SWCC book sales down, many reasons why By BAILEY POOLMANCNA staff [email protected]

As the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover.

There have been changes in ways stu-dents study for classes, and one of the most notable is what kind of textbook — if any — they use.

That change has been seen locally. Ann Schlapia, Southwestern Commu-nity College Bookstore manager, said since July 1, 2010, there has been a de-crease in book sales at the store. July 2010 was the first month the re-authori-zation of Higher Education Act of 1965 was in effect, which said community col-leges must be more transparent on their websites about cost of education.

“We’ve probably seen a decrease in sales in the bookstore because students are utilizing that information and shop-ping elsewhere,” Schlapia said. “We’ve probably seen a 10 percent decrease in sales.”

Schlapia also said there are more variables with the decrease, such as de-

creased enrollment over the past four years.

BookstoreSWCC Bookstore, located in the stu-

dent center west of the administration building, serves approximately half of SWCC students when it comes to text-books, excluding high school students attending college classes.

Schlapia said it’s hard to decide what

the cause of the decreased sales is be-cause costs of textbooks have increased as well. Textbook costs have increased between five and seven percent since 2010. Publishing companies increase book prices in May and November.

SWCC enrollment up, program updates given at board meeting

By BAILEY POOLMANCNA staff [email protected]

Southwestern Community College held its regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday. Focuses during the meeting were on pre-liminary fall enrollment, GAP and PACE funding and Workplace Learning Network.

EnrollmentBeth Kulow, SWCC dean of student ser-

vices, presented SWCC Board of Direc-tors with preliminary increased enrollment numbers.

“Right now, we have an enrollment in-crease from last year,” Kulow said, “and, speaking with my colleagues across the state, the ones who responded, we are a trendsetter.”

Kulow said the college is above 1,600 stu-dents, a two and a-half percent headcount increase. She also said students are taking more than 16,000 credit hours, which is a four percent increase.

“We are extremely delighted to bring those numbers to you,” Kulow said to the board. “I ran some numbers back 10 years ago, and we have increased as a college 22 percent.”

Kulow also said Spartan Court is above 100 percent occupancy, but below fire regu-lations. Students are bunking in rooms, and those who do received discounted prices.

“The new students absolutely love Spar-tan Court. I can assure you that they utilize the community area,” Kulow said. “They are in there from the time it opened until the time we close it to utilize the pool table and the ping pong table.”

Food service hours have also been ex-tended because of the increased enroll-ment.

“We’ve seen a lot of growth in students hanging out in the student center, and then also in the commons area at Spar-tan Suites,” Kulow said. “So, we’re very pleased with the number of students that we have on campus.”

Sheriff: Man fatally shot during public meeting

MAQUOKETA (AP) — An Iowa man angry about his property taxes was fatally shot during a public meeting Tuesday after he pulled a gun from a briefcase and pointed it at the county assessor, law enforcement officials said.

Francis Glaser, a former Maquoketa city manager, had become agitated and vocal about his property taxes going up during a weekly meeting of Jackson County’s board of supervisors in Maquoketa, a town about 150 miles north-east of Des Moines.

As the meeting ended in the local courthouse, Glaser, 71,

pulled a small gun and fired at County Assessor Deb Lane but missed, Jackson County Sheriff Russ Kettmann said. One of the county’s three su-pervisors, Larry Koos, was nearby and stepped in. He struggled with Glaser, and a second shot was fired. Glaser was hit and died at the scene, Kettmann said.

“He still had the gun in his hand and the trigger finger in the trigger,” Maquoketa Po-lice Chief Brad Koranda said.

The sheriff said Koos “probably saved a life.” He was injured during the strug-gle, when his arm crashed through a glass door, and was sent to a local hospital for stitches. He was later released.

Kettmann said if Koos and others hadn’t been there, “it

PPEL vote approved despite low turnout

Creston High School Physical Plant and Equip-ment Levy (PPEL) passed with 73 in favor and 22 against from Tuesday’s election.

Twenty-one of the votes cast were absentee.

The school funding source was started in the mid-1990s and has passed every year. It was the only item on Tuesday’s election ballot.

What is it for?The school board may

annually certify a regular PPEL of up to 33 cents per thousand dollars of as-sessed property valuation. S c h o o l d i s t r i c t v o t e r s may au-thorize an additional P P E L a m o u n t up to $1.34.

Creston Community Schools utilizes a PPEL of $1. Superinten-dent Steve McDermott said this helps keep the school tax levy rate level.

PPEL can be used to im-prove school grounds and

buildings, purchase tech-nology, secure transporta-tion equipment and many other options.

“It has been primarily used to keep our facilities maintained,” McDermott said. “We are looking to-ward expanding our digital learning.”

It cannot be used for gen-eral fund expenses such as staff salaries or benefits.

Next electionVoters will return to the

polls this fall for the general election.

Absentee voting starts Sept. 25. Anyone who re-quested an absentee ballot be mailed to them, it will be be sent Sept. 25.

Locally, Union County Attorney Tim Kenyon, Recorder Paula White and Treasurer Kelly Busch are running unopposed.

Incumbent Ron Riley will be up against Paul Hayes for a Union County Board of Supervisor seat.

The Union County Courthouse will be open two Saturdays to allow for additional time to absentee vote. On Oct. 25, the hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Nov. 1 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“Right now, we have an enrollment increase from last year and, speaking with my colleagues across the state, the ones who responded, we are a trendsetter.”

In a flash By KYLE WILSON | [email protected]

Four inches of rain fell in 45 minutes in parts of Union County Tuesday. Two-inch hail reported north of Lenox.

A storm system that dumped between 2 and 6 inches of rainfall across southwest Iowa

Tuesday evening has moved out of the state this morning.

Afton received the most rainfall in the Creston News Advertiser cover-age area with reports of 5 to 6 inches of precipitation. Meanwhile, Arispe had about 4 inches. (See other rainfall totals, right)

“It came down hard. We received four inches of rain in 45 minutes dur-

ing the 6 to 7 p.m. hour in parts of Union County,” said Jo Duckworth, emergency management coordina-tor in Union County. “The rain totals were more than expected. We had wa-ter over roadways in areas that rarely get flooded.”

Duckworth said a total of 16 road-ways were closed in Union County because of flash flooding Tuesday evening into this morning. Many have since reopened. However, roadways still closed as of presstime this morn-

ing are: • Pole Road south of 240th Street

• 272nd Street near Kent where Platte River crosses

Duckworth added that Grand River in Union County is expected to be out of its banks today and flooding is like-ly south of 170th Street.

“Turn around if you see any flooded roadway,” Duckworth said. “Then,

GAP and PACESWCC Pathway Naviga-

tor Kelsey Hollen presented information about GAP and PACE programs to the board of directors.

GAP is a tuition assis-tance program established in 2012. It provides fund-ing to community colleges for need-based tuition as-sistance to applicants to complete certificate training programs for in-demand oc-cupations.

PACE is a services pro-gram established in 2013 to provide funding to com-munity colleges. The fund-ing enables participants to acquire effective academic

and employment training to secure employment in-state.

“The majority of the people that are applying for this are unemployed, so obviously we are serving the people that we need to be serving to get them the training to move them back out there in the workforce,” Hollen said.

Hollen said 146 people applied for the program since its implementation at SWCC in October 2013.

After applying, applicants get National Career Readi-ness certified, as per GAP code, then have an interview with Hollen.

Of the 146 applicants, 35 were approved for GAP funding, and 16 were ap-

proved for PACE funding.“The amount of people

that we have ready to fill those middle-skills jobs is too low, so we are in a short-age,” Hollen said.

Workplace Learning Net-work

Workplace Learning Net-work is the result of a grant through Iowa Department of Education. The depart-ment allocated $1.45 mil-lion across Iowa to develop networks at community col-leges and local communities.

Valerie White is in charge of the local network.

“Their intent for this is to connect students, so that secondary age group, with businesses and organiza-tions across our southwest-

ern region,” White said.The connections will be

made through worksite tours, business tours, intern-ships and job shadowing.

“Part of my role as I’ve come on campus has been to try and develop a database of businesses who are will-ing to provide that opportu-nity for our students across the region,” White said.

White has reached out to Creston Community Schools, and presented in-formation to the junior class at Creston High School.

“We are looking forward to getting students on board, connecting them with those business people and making it work for the job shadow,” White said.

ENROLLMENT:


could have been a lot worse.”The shooting occurred dur-

ing a meeting in which offi-cials were discussing property assessments. Kettmann said Glaser, who was the city man-ager in the 1990s, had been vocal over the years about his property taxes going up.

Kettmann said the court-house does not have perma-nent security measures in place. A metal wand is used

during high-profile court cas-es, and a panic button is avail-able in case of an emergency.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation will investigate the shooting. The courthouse was closed after the shooting.

SHOOTING:


and different formats of text-books for their classes.

“If they select an e-Book, then that’s what we sell to students. We don’t have any face-to-face faculty that have just e-Book specifically. They may bundle it with a hard copy of the book, or even a loose-leaf copy of the book to cut costs down and have that e-Book on it as well,” Schla-pia said.

Schlapia said buying books from SWCC Bookstore has its perks, too. When purchas-ing from an outside source, such as Amazon.com, stu-dents may not receive what they expected to.

Also, at the end of the year, the bookstore offers buy-back options based on the age of the book. Students can get up to 50 percent of the book’s cost back.

If books were purchased from an outside source, the college offers one day to buy back those books during the buy-back week.

SWCC Bookstore is non-profit and owned by the col-lege. Any profits at the end of the year are used for scholar-ships for students.

Teacher’s perspectiveJoshua Borgmann, SWCC

English instructor, said he does attempt to find cheaper books for his students.

“In Literature or Compo-sition II classes, I might want students to purchase several shorter books rather than one large one,” Borgmann said.

Borgmann is one teacher who spends time researching books before selecting one since price is one of his con-cerns.

“The textbooks in English are usually cheaper than the ones used in science or busi-ness, but the average compo-sition textbook or Literature anthology still runs between $50 and $80,” Borgmann said. “I have even switched text-books because I felt the price was too high for what the stu-dents were getting.”

However, Borgmann also said he wants to choose the best book for his students, and sometimes that isn’t al-ways the cheapest one. But,

in talking with students, he understands price has a lot to do with their decision in pur-chasing a book.

“My discussions with stu-dents suggest that they are concerned about high text-book prices and want a vari-ety of options for saving mon-ey,” Borgmann said. “Some schools have tried using e-Books to save money, but at this point I hear a lot of stu-dents being resistant toward the idea. Sometimes, students say they are sharing textbooks with a friend to save money, but this often doesn’t work out well as the student ends up not having access to the material that he or she had expected.”

Student’s perspectiveFrom a student’s perspec-

tive, the cost of books can be daunting. Travis Latour, a third-year SWCC student, said he paid for books for sev-eral classes.

Latour is taking three gen-eral education classes the fall semester, and books for the classes added up to $200, ex-

cluding the math book.“(It’s) a doozy since I’m

paying out of pocket,” Latour said.

This is one example of Schlapia’s explanation that price plays a part in a stu-dent’s decision to purchase books.

“A lot of it is the price,” Schlapia said. “They don’t want to pay the price for it. Another issue is, a friend of their friend said, ‘Oh, you don’t need a book for that class. Try to get through as long as possible without buy-ing it.’ We’ve actually sold books the week of finals be-cause students made it that far through before realizing they really need one, or they have an open book final.”

According to Schlapia, the internet has evolved enough that students believe they can find cheaper books elsewhere.

“They don’t even ask for our prices,” Schlapia said. “We sell everything (at a price) that’s based on the pub-lisher. We don’t have an addi-tional markup on that.”

ComparisonsCosts of materials at SWCC

compared to other Iowa schools are similar.

According to website www.collegecalc.org, cost of books and supplies at SWCC aver-age $1,114.

Schlapia said the average cost for books for the fall se-mester was $800.

The average estimated cost of books and materials at University of Iowa in Iowa City for the 2014-15 school year is $1,040, and the costs at University of Northern Iowa in Waterloo are at $900. Ac-cording to Iowa State Univer-sity’s website, the Ames uni-versity estimates the average cost of books and materials for the 2014-15 school year to be $1,039.

Costs are similar at other community colleges. Des Moines Area Community College’s website said books and supplies average approxi-mately $1,500 annually, and Kirkwood Community Col-lege’s website said books and supplies $1,000 annually.

Food safety is important September is National

Food Safety Education Month, a time for busy fami-lies to consider the impor-tance of food safety.

Before preparing food:• Everyone in your fam-

ily should wash their hands often.

• Clean all work surfaces often to remove food par-ticles and spills. Use hot, soapy water. Keep non-food items off counters and away from food and uten-sils. Wash the counter care-fully before and after food preparation, as well as items commonly touched such as cabinet knobs and the refrig-erator handle.

• Wash dishes, cutting boards and cookware in the dishwasher or in hot, soapy water, and always rinse them well. Remember that

chipped plates and china can collect bacteria.

• Replace old cutting boards that have cracks, crev-ices and excessive knife scars.

• Change towels and dish-cloths often and wash them in the hot cycle of your wash-ing machine. Allow them to dry out between each use. If they are damp, they’re the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Throw out dirty sponges or wash them in a bleach-water solution.

• On any appliance, clean spills right away. Wash ap-pliances with hot, soapy water. Pay close attention to the refrigerator and the freezer shelves, sides and door where foods are stored.

• Spills and food splat-ters inside your microwave can also collect bacteria, so clean it regularly, as well.

A lady in sun studio MEMPHIS, Tenn. — While

thousands were touring Graceland during Elvis Week last month, a re-tired English professor from Baton Rouge sat at legendary Sun Studio and signed copies of her quiet but fascinating book.

“I signed a book for a woman from Greece,” Barbara Barnes Sims said. “Leave Greece for Memphis in August?”

It’s that kind of practical person-ality that characterizes the woman and her new book. If you read Sims’ firsthand account of working at Sun — “The Next Elvis; Search-ing for Stardom at Sun Records” — you won’t get an overdose of gossipy details about stars she met, or vivid recounting of sexual es-capades of rock ‘n’ roll pioneers. You’ll get insight into something far more important: the business.

Maybe there was a whole lot of shakin’ going on from 1957 to 1960 while a young Barbara Barnes

learned the recording business in a professional trial by fire. But this compelling, authoritative ver-sion reveals more about how talent worked than how they played — except for obvious overlap.

When the Mississippi “girl” ar-rived in Memphis looking for work, the United Press bureau chief wanted to hire her to cover night court. His bosses recoiled at the idea of sending a young woman out on the Memphis streets after dark. The UP man told Sun Studio founder Sam Phillips about Barba-ra and her journalism background. One night Phillips phoned, gave her a 15-minute heads-up and vis-ited.

“He was overflowing with enthu-siasm, but the ideas were tumbling out so fast that I couldn’t quite follow all the information — hit records, TV shows, artists, LPs, singles, pressing plants, names I’d never heard, too much at once.”

She had to interrupt his pitch to reveal that her water heater had sprung a leak and needed atten-tion. After that, legendary Phillips took his turn emptying the water as it accumulated in a pan. “I de-cided,” Sims wrote, “he was tactful, efficient and in a way humble.”

Over the next days and weeks, Sam Phillips confided his life story to Barbara Barnes, eventually con-vincing her to go to work for his merrily unconventional but suc-cessful studio. She would work in promotion and publicity, editing newsletters, dealing with distribu-tors and writing the liner notes for the first albums of Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins,

Charlie Rich and Jerry Lee Lew-is.

She got to know Lewis, once watched him sitting at the piano bare-chested during a session re-cording “Breathless.” “I had heard he gave it his all, whether for 10 people or 10,000, and the evidence was right before my eyes.”

But Jerry Lee’s bigamous mar-riage to 13-year-old cousin Myra was one of the worst moments in her time at Sun. “The dam-age didn’t appear irreparable at first, and things went on as usual for some time, but Sun never had a major star after this fiasco.”Good memories are the flip side. Live music daily, playbacks from landmark sessions, “having Jack Clement or Charlie Rich play a song for me.” Elvis came home from service, the raw rock rebel parboiled out of him by Colonel Parker and the William Morris Agency. He visited his old studio

and politely shook her hand.Sims’ story is as much about

working women as anything. “I wish I could reach an audience of women who could learn what it was like to struggle for a decent salary and fend off the various types of harassment and condescension women encountered in the work-place in those days.”

I wish so, too. That might be about as easy as convincing today’s young female professionals that the author thought it necessary to wear a black hat with a veil and three-quarter-length gloves for her first trip to New York. She was a real lady amongst rock ‘n’ roll lions.

President Obama’s immigration red line No one will ever mistake Presi-

dent Barack Obama for Lyndon Johnson, the master legislator as president. He doesn’t really do congressional schmoozing or arm-twisting. Compromise and deal-cutting are beneath him. Once he lost the Democratic supermajori-ties of 2009-2010 and the power to push things through Congress by sheer brute force, his legislating es-sentially came to an end.

So perhaps it shouldn’t be a sur-prise that even the niceties of uni-lateral lawmaking are beyond him.

When it became clear that House Republicans weren’t going to act on so-called comprehensive immi-gration reform over the summer, President Obama thundered in the Rose Garden in June that he would act on his own to fix the system. He told representatives of immigration groups that he would move at the end of summer. Activists encour-aged him with the hashtag #GoBig-Obama.

Now, he’s not going #Big, or #Small, or #In-between. He’s go-ing to pass. The White House let it be known over the weekend that it is putting off executive action on immigration at least until after the election. In his June remarks, the president said, “If Congress will not do their job, at least we can do ours.” If, he should have added, the politics are congenial.

The president loves to say, when promoting his unilateral powers, that “we can’t wait.” Actually, we clearly can wait when the political futures of swing-state Democrats are at stake. Then, waiting is the

only prudent course. Waiting is wise. Good for the country. The — insert furrowed brow here — right thing to do.

On “Meet the Press” over the weekend, President Obama said in one breath that politics wasn’t the reason for the delay, and then in another that “the poli-tics did shift midsummer” with the influx of unaccompanied children from Central America.But he’s above political consider-ations himself, naturally. He says he wants “to make sure that the T’s are crossed and the I’s are dotted,” as if governing by diktat is as tricky as getting a bill through markup in the House Judiciary Committee. The “obstructionists” are no lon-ger Republicans in Congress, but the lawyers and policy mavens in his own administration.

Of course, the president has managed to make other unilateral moves on immigration — gutting interior enforcement and grant-ing de facto amnesty to DREAM children — with all due dispatch. What’s different this time is that Senate Democrats were begging him not to wield his famous pen and phone, for fear his blatantly unconstitutional act would inflame Republicans, turn off independents and cost them their Senate majority.Their collective posture is that

the president should trample the separation of powers and render their institution irrelevant in two months’ time rather than right now, when voters have an immediate re-course in the November elections.

Even some of the president’s usual allies are outraged by the cynicism of the delay and accuse him of throwing Latinos under the bus. But what did they expect? His tough talk on the immigration executive action is the domestic equivalent of the Syrian “red line” fiasco, when he made bold state-ments without thinking about what it meant to follow through and then backed off.

The White House insists that the president will still act by the end of the year. But it will be even harder to defend his administrative am-nesty as an urgent response to a national crisis if he’s so obviously played politics with the timing.

Republicans should make the evidently still-impending immigra-tion order a top issue in the mid-terms. The first step to any mean-ingful immigration reform is real enforcement, and as a matter of law, the president doesn’t get to decide who comes here, lives here and works here on his own.

The president may not be very good at unilateral lawmaking, but it is an offense to the Constitution and self-government all the same. His executive amnesty will be just as poisonous and outrageous come December.

Adair County Health System to host health care forum for business leaders

GREENFIELD — Adair County Health System is hosting a forum Sept. 16 to create a dialogue with busi-ness leaders and community stakeholders regarding the current health care environ-ment. A primary goal of the forum is to discuss, from the perspective of local employ-ers, the challenges they face concerning health care costs and access to services.

The forum will open with

an overview of the significant investments Iowa hospitals are making in care delivery improvement and cost reduc-tion, as well as a statewide perspective on health care provided by two leading Iowa business associations. After those remarks, Angela Mor-toza, CEO, will moderate a discussion on these topics from a local perspective.

“Ultimately, our goal is to find common ground be-

tween the hospital as a health care provider and our busi-ness community as health care consumers,” said Mor-toza. “We will be working toward the development of local, collaborative strategies for an improved working re-lationship.”

For more information about the forum, contact Tif-fany Johnson at [email protected] or 641-743-7264.

AMES — Iowa Learning Farms (ILF) is hosting a cover crop field day noon to 2 p.m. Sept. 17 at the Dennis Lundy farm, 2091 Indian Ave., Fon-tanelle.

This field day will explore ways to add cover crops and also no-tilling alfalfa follow-ing wheat through extended crop rotations. Host farmer Dennis Lundy and his neigh-bor, Wendell Zimmerman, will share how they are using cover crops on their farms. Although they are using them in different ways, both farm-ers are reducing soil erosion and increasing soil health. Iowa Water Center Director and ISU Agronomy Professor Rick Cruse will discuss ero-sion in Iowa’s fields and how cover crops and other prac-tices can reduce this problem.

The field day is free and includes a complimentary

meal prepared by Adair County Cattlemen. An RSVP is encouraged; contact Iowa Learning Farms, 515-294-8912 or via email: [email protected] to be included in the meal count. The field day site is at the Lundy farmstead. From Fontanelle, go east on N77 for approximately one-half mile. Turn north onto Indian Av-enue, go 3.5 miles to the inter-section of Indian Avenue and 210th Street. The farmstead is on the northwest corner.

Established in 2004, Iowa Learning Farms is building a Culture of Conservation, encouraging adoption of con-

servation practices.

Thursday, Sept. 11, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

This is a great day to accom-plish a lot of work. You have self-discipline and an orderly state of mind. In addition, you will pay attention to details.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Parents and people con-cerned with raising kids can have solid discussions about the care and education of chil-dren. Someone more experi-enced might have good advice.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a strong day for fam-ily discussions, especially with older family members. Listen to their input about future plans to secure your home base.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your powers of concentration are excellent today. Choose work that requires mental stimulation and attention to detail, because you won’t miss a thing!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You are prudent and careful with your money today. Give thought to how you can secure your income for the long-term future. If shopping, you will buy long-lasting, practical items.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Anything you do today will be done carefully with no loose ends. This

is a good day to ask for advice from someone is older and more experienced.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your ability to research some-thing today is wonderful. You have focus, motivation and patience. You also have the endurance and perseverance necessary to finish the job.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Roll up your sleeves and finish loose ends with bills, taxes, debt, inheritances and estates. You will get a lot done!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Discussions with partners and close friends will be productive today. You don’t want to waste time with frivolity. You want to join forces with others to get things done.

YOU BORN TODAY You need the freedom to do your own thing. (You sometimes enjoy shocking others.) You enjoy

taking risks. You love children and are an excellent parent. This year, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or dimin-ish in order to make room for something new. Take it easy and learn to serve others. This is a good year to travel.

Dear Heloise: I have read the label on my original Worcestershire sauce and cannot find the answer to my question: Should you RE-FRIGERATE Worcester-shire sauce after opening it? — Danny P., via email

The answer is no, you don’t HAVE to, but yes, you can. NO, it’s not a food-safety con-cern (unless your kitchen stays at, oh, around 90 degrees!). YES, for the best taste and freshness. Also, how long does a bottle last in your house? A month? A year? — Heloise

com SALMONETTES RECI-

PEDear Heloise: My fam-

ily loves your Heloise Salmo-nettes recipe, but we moved, and I cannot find the recipe. Please reprint it! — Judy W. in Idaho

These are so delicious and easy to make! Here you go:

1 can of salmon or tuna (14-16 ounces)

1/4 cup liquid saved from the salmon or tuna

1 egg, lightly beaten1/2 cup flour

Pepper to taste1 heaping teaspoon baking

powderFill a skillet halfway with oil

and preheat. Drain the salmon or tuna, but keep 1/4 of the liquid. Place fish in a mix-ing bowl and break up with a fork so that it’s flaky. In small amounts, add egg, flour and pepper. Mix well to just blend everything — don’t overmix.

Add the baking powder to the saved liquid and beat with a whisk or fork until frothy. IMMEDIATELY add it to the fish mixture and fold/stir to blend. Don’t let it sit! Start scooping the mixture onto a small spoon (I use two iced-tea spoons — they are perfect) and drop into the hot oil.

Watch them carefully, since they do brown quickly. Drain on a paper towel and serve. — Heloise

P.S.: You can’t make up the mixture ahead of time, but you can cook the little “fish balls” and reheat them later.

WHY HORSERADISH?Dear Heloise: I was asked

to a friend’s house for dinner, and her young son asked me

where the word “horserad-ish” came from. Well, I didn’t have the answer. Could you help us out? — Bernice S. in Nebraska

Here’s the answer, straight from the Horseradish Infor-mation Council — who knew there was one? The theory is that horseradish came from Central Europe, where it was called “meerrettich” in Ger-man, meaning “sea radish.” The word “meer” sounds like “mare” in English, so the English started calling it “mareradish.” Eventually, it became known as horseradish, so I guess there is a “mare” in there somewhere! — Heloise

PASTA WATERDear Heloise: Many recipes

call for reserving some of the water the pasta has cooked in to add back into the finished dish. Here is how I remember: I place a cup in the colander. When I drain the pasta, the water is already saved. — Al-lie S., via email

CLEANER GRINDERDear Heloise: To clean my

spice grinder, I tear off some pieces of white bread and pulse it in the machine. The bread gets into the nooks and crannies much more easily than any cleaning by hand. — Amy A. in Nevada

The phone number at Union County secondary roads is 641-782-7417.

Duckworth said pea-to-dime size hail was reported in Union County. Meanwhile, larger hail was reported in Ad-ams and Taylor County. Chad Jacobs of Lenox posted a pic-ture on social media Tuesday evening of two-inch hail near his residence.

Belinda Ogle, emergency management deputy in Taylor County, confirmed the heavi-est hail reports were north of Lenox near the Taylor/Adams county line.

No tornadoes were report-ed in Iowa Tuesday evening. Sightings of funnel clouds car-

rying 75 mph winds were re-ported in areas of northwest Missouri, though, which left behind some tree damage.

Duckworth said many resi-dents in the county are report-ing flooded basements. Report that damage to Duckworth by calling her office at 641-782-1622. Leave your name, address and contact number. Duckworth adds that taking pictures of the damage before clean-up is helpful.

Also, agriculture damage should be reported to your local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office.

The forecast for today is dry and cool across Iowa with highs in the mid-to-upper 60s. The rest of the week will also be cool with chances for rain returning Thursday evening into Friday.

ApologyATLANTA — Atlanta

Hawks general manager Danny Ferry apologized Monday for the com-ments he made regarding Heat forward Luol Deng last year. He was also dis-ciplined by the team.

Ferry and the Hawks pursued Deng before he signed with Miami last season and apologized for the racial comments he made in a letter that he sent to Hawks co-owner Michael Gearon Jr.

The Atlanta Jour-nal Constitution posted the two-page letter that Gearon Jr. sent to Hawks majority owner Bruce Levenson about Ferry’s comments that said, “He has a little African in him. Not in a bad way, but he’s like a guy who would have a nice store out front but sell you counterfeit stuff out of the back.”Wife speaks

BALTIMORE — Ray Rice’s wife says taking away football from her husband is horrific and making the couple relive a moment they regret is a “horrible thing.”

Janay Palmer posted a statement Tuesday on her Instagram account, a day after TMZ Sports re-leased video showing the couple Feb. 15 in an At-lantic City casino eleva-tor. Each hits the other before Rice knocks Palm-er off her feet and into a railing, knocking her out.

The Ravens released Rice hours after the video was released Monday, and the NFL followed by suspending him indefi-nitely.

Palmer wrote she awoke feeling as if she had a nightmare and ac-cepting reality is “a night-mare in itself.” She also wrote that this is their life and they will continue to show “what real love is!”NFL response

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — As questions arose about how the NFL investigated domestic vio-lence allegations against Ray Rice, Commissioner Roger Goodell said Tues-day the league asked for, but was not given, video showing the ex-Ravens running back punching his then-fiancee on an el-evator.

Goodell told CBS that “no one in the NFL, to my knowledge” had seen a new video of what hap-pened on the elevator un-til it was posted online.

“We assumed that there was a video. We asked for video. But we were never granted that opportunity,” Goodell said.

Two videos, one re-leased by TMZ Sports and another shown later to The Associated Press by a law enforcement of-ficial, show Rice punching Janay Palmer — who is now his wife — at an At-lantic City casino in Feb-ruary. They are graphic, and show more detail than an initial video re-leased by TMZ in July that showed him dragging her from an elevator.

Panthers improve to 3-0 with road victory By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

ATLANTIC — How far has Creston volleyball ad-vanced in coach Polly Lu-ther’s third season?

Nearly everyone asso-ciated with the team — coaches, players, parents in the hallway afterward — were less than satisfied after Tuesday’s match.

Yet, it was a 3-0 victory. On the road. In the Hawk-eye 10 Conference.

Atlantic fell to 0-2 for the season and 0-2 in the league as the Panthers came in and sailed to a 25-14, 25-18, 25-15 victory. The Panthers improved to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the conference.

Yet, the undermanned Trojans led 7-5 during the second set and made a serious run at winning it, trailing only 21-18 before Creston ran off four unan-swered points to clinch it.

Creston was clinging to a 6-5 lead in the third set be-fore taking off on an 11-5 run to get a comfortable 17-10 margin established.

“I told the girls in the locker room afterward that we played with them, and we shouldn’t be playing with them,” Luther said. “We have to be consistent

and powerful in doing it when we have the opportu-nity. I was never nervous, but my blood pressure was getting elevated!”

It was a strong finish in the final set, however, and senior setter Hanna Luther mixed things up to keep the relatively inexpe-

rienced Atlantic team off balance.

During the final five points, Luther had a short set to Jenna Taylor for a

quick kill d u r i n g A l y s s a H i g g i n s ’ t h r e e -s e r v i c e string; set far across the court to a leap-ing Sydney Dunphy for a kill from the left side; changed up with a quick set over the net to a hole in the Trojan defense; and went up for a block moments before Dunphy served the final point of the 25-15 triumph.

“We were on at times tonight,” coach Luther acknowledged, “but there should have been more of it. We’re still working on that mindset. We were on our heels a lot and impa-tient. When you run un-derneath the ball, it goes straight up in the air in-stead of to the setter.”

Natalie Mostek was again the overall leader of the night for Creston with 10 kills, two blocks and seven digs. She served 16-of-17 with an ace.

T’Wolves storm past Mount Ayr By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

MOUNT AYR — After everyone in the Mount Ayr gym was evacuated to the school’s storm shelter be-cause of a severe weather threat, Southwest Valley brought the storm inside once the match with Mount Ayr began.

The Timberwolves only suffered a setback in the sec-ond game of the night, cruis-ing to a 25-14, 22-25, 25-15, 25-18 win over the Raider-ettes here on Tuesday.

Southwest Valley built a 13-6 lead in the second game, but then got stuck in a rotation, allowing Mount Ayr to climb back into the game.

S o p h o -more Blair G l e n -d e n n i n g s e r v e d n i n e s t r a i g h t points to give the R a i d e r -ettes a 16-13 lead.

“We had a huge rotation issue,” Southwest Valley head coach Lindsay Wetzel said. “We were stuck in the same rotation and they tied it up and then went up about three or four points on us. Then we just couldn’t dig out of that hole.”

It was a lead Mount Ayr never relinquished, even though Southwest Valley closed it to 22-21 with a Ma-rie Palmer crosscourt kill.

“They actually just started working together and fight-ing,” Mount Ayr head coach Tori Braby said about her team’s performance in the second game. “That’s some-thing we’ve been lacking the last few years, is that fight. I’m just trying to get it in their heads. I thought they finally found that the second game.”

Braby said she felt confi-dent with Glendenning at the service line in the second

game.“She’s pretty confident

back there,” Braby said. “Anytime we need points, I like the ball in her hands, whether she’s digging or serving. The ball needs to be in her hands anytime we’re on the line, because she’s confident.”Dominantperformance

Aside from the second game, the match was one-sided in favor of Southwest Valley.

That was due in part to Mount Ayr having just 11 kills in total for the match, while Palmer finished with 37 by herself for Southwest Valley. Taylor Damewood set 41 assists for Southwest Valley.

Fittingly, it was a Palmer kill that ended the match.

“We were doing well mov-ing, talking, being scrappy, getting to base and just be-ing aggressive at the net,” Wetzel said. “We are so much better when we attack the ball, as opposed to trying to tip it. Marie does a good job of seeing the floor either CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER

Iowa LT Scherff expected to miss Iowa State game By LUKE MEREDITHAP Sports Writer

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa coach Kirk Fe-rentz says star left tackle Brandon Scherff could be available for Saturday’s game against Iowa State despite an undisclosed knee injury.

Scherff? He said that he won’t p l a y a g a i n s t the Cy-clones af-ter hurt-ing his right knee in the sec-ond quar-ter of last week’s 17-13 win over Ball State. And he showed up at Iowa’s facility on a pair of crutches and with a ban-dage on his knee.

He sure didn’t look or sound like someone ready to play football this week-end. Scherff told local TV station KCRG in Cedar Rapids that he’s hoping to return for Iowa’s trip to Pittsburgh on Sept. 20.

Ferentz, who is often guarded when discussing injuries, repeatedly de-clared Scherff’s status as “day to day.”

“He was injured Satur-day, and we have a couple guys that are stiff and sore right now. We’ll see how it goes,” Ferentz said.

Given the Scherff is a po-

tential first-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and likely Iowa’s best play-er, his expected absence is a blow to the Hawkeyes (2-0). The loss of Scherff — even if it is just for a week — could expose Io-wa’s lack of depth at offen-sive line.

Iowa has long been con-fident in its starting line of Scherff, guard Sean Welsh, center Austin Blythe, guard Jordan Walsh and tackle Andrew Donnal.

But in recent years, the Hawkeyes borrowed a few scholarships typically ear-marked for linemen to ad-dress deficiencies at wide receiver and other areas.

That has left untested sophomores Mitch Keppy and Cole Croston and red-shirt freshmen Boone My-ers and Ike Boettger just an injury away from play-ing.

Scherff only missed a few plays before returning to finish the game against Ball State. Scherff’s back-up was Boettger, a redshirt freshman who is listed as 53 pounds lighter than the 320-pound Scherff.

Luckily for Iowa, Scherff is the only starting lineman battling injury concerns.

“I think they’re improv-ing,” Ferentz said of Io-wa’s backup offensive linemen. “But it’s like any-thing else. Until a guy gets in a game, you’re never quite sure. But it’s an area

we’re focused on.”The loss of Scherff could

also inhibit Iowa’s desire get its running game go-ing. Iowa has averaged just 4.1 yards per carry through two games, an uncharac-teristically low number for a program long built on es-tablishing the run.

The Hawkeyes have thrown the ball 96 times against just 65 runs, though that number is a bit skewed because the Hawk-eyes were forced to pass their way out of a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit against Ball State.

But quarterback Jake Rudock is the team’s leading rusher with just 53 yards. It appears the Hawkeyes will have to try to change that without their standout tackle in the lineup.

“It’s unfortunate that he won’t be able to go this week,” Donnal said of Scherff. “We have a bunch of good guys on the depth chart. They’ll be ready to step up.”

MLB slightly adjusts collision rule By BILL SHAIKINLos Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES—After all the angst, all the confu-sion, all the outrage over the new rule designed to make collisions at home plate extinct, baseball of-ficials responded Tuesday with one little change.

“If a runner is out by 30 feet,” Angels General Manager Jerry Dipoto said, “then they’ll exercise common sense.”

That should take care of the outrage, anyway.

The last thing baseball needed is an October spot-light on a play that has happened a few times late-ly — throw beats the run-ner by plenty, but replay shows the catcher blocking the plate before the ball gets there. The runner gets there even later, but never mind, the runner is safe.

“When a ball beats a runner by that much he should be out, no matter what a catcher does,” An-gels Manager Mike Scios-cia said. “And if a runner has a play beat, he should be safe no matter what a catcher does.”

Done, and done, accord-ing to a memo sent to clubs Tuesday. As for the angst and the confusion about what baseball calls Rule 7.13, that can wait.

“It needs work in the off-season,” Commissioner Bud Selig said at Dodger Stadium on Friday.

The rule has succeeded in its primary objective — to protect catchers from injuries in collisions at home plate. In general, the rule urges runners to slide into home plate and catch-ers to provide runners with a lane to get there.

Yet, players and manag-ers say they remain baffled by what they say are in-consistencies in applying the rule, both from the umpires on the field and at replay headquarters in New York.

“There’s still an aura of uncertainty about what ex-actly is going to be called at home plate,” Scioscia said.

“ W h a t I get from the u m p i r e s is that t h e y ’ r e not com-f o r t a b l e

with the rule,” Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly said. “I think they under-stand what the rule is say-ing. They’re just not com-fortable with it.

“We see one play look exactly like another, and one is safe and the other is out. And you’re going, ‘Why?’ “

The primary source of confusion appears to be the directive that the catcher cannot block the plate unless he has the ball. That puts the burden on catchers to watch a runner coming at him from one direction and a throw that might be coming at him from another direction, all the while worrying about whether one of his feet is blocking the plate.

That also compels um-pires to make a judgment call about whether a wide throw forces a catcher to block the plate, or whether the catcher already was blocking the plate, all in a split second, and with man-agers and catchers claim-ing those calls are incon-sistent.

“Those three minutes when I’m waiting for New York to call back and say if he’s safe or out are the most terrifying minutes,” Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said.

“They need to do a lot of things with that rule,” Ari-zona Diamondbacks catch-er Miguel Montero said. “I don’t know if anybody knows what’s going on, to be honest with you.”

Any such play almost certainly will be reviewed, because replays related to the new rule are not count-ed as a manager’s chal-lenge. As some teams have learned the hard way, that kind of replay could reveal the rule was followed but the catcher dropped the ball, and a runner called

out would then be safe.Ellis said he is part of an

e-mail chain with the play-ers’ union, designed for catchers to ask questions about the new rule and of-fer suggestions on how to improve it.

With the catchers pro-tected, union chief Tony Clark said, the focus needs to shift to explaining how the rule might be uniform-ly interpreted, including a determination of when and where a catcher can be po-sitioned, based on where the ball might be.

“The gray area is still there,” Clark said. “We’re trying to find the common ground sooner rather than later.”

Joe Torre, baseball’s point man in on-field mat-ters, said the discussions with the union that led to Tuesday’s rule clarifica-tion involved “looking at a lot of videos of baser-unners,” with the thought that determining when most runners slide might help clarify when a catcher should not be permitted to block the plate.

“At what point, (with a runner going) from third to home, if the catcher is there without the ball, is it a violation?” Torre said. “Obviously, we can’t have a guy rounding third and say, ‘That’s it, the guy is standing in front of home plate. The runner should score.’”

Torre’s video review of runners trying to score uncovered a trend better suited for the NBA Finals or the World Cup.

“We’ve seen a couple instances where we’ve had some flopping,” Torre said. “If the guy is out, he flops and says, ‘Well, I’m blocked.’

“I don’t want that. I don’t like it in the other sports. I certainly don’t like it in this sport.”

Nothing in the rule clari-fication addresses that. So imagine that, a World Series decided by a flop worthy of the World Cup.

After Mount Ayr’s victo-ry in game two to draw the match even at 1-1, South-west Valley senior Lexi B r o n n e r c r u s h e d the Raid-e r e t t e s ’ m o m e n -tum, start-ing the third game by serv-ing nine straight points.

Bronner finished the night serving 28-of-29.

It was a run Mount Ayr couldn’t recover from.

“When we’re aggressive on our serves, then we don’t have to do much on our side, which is great,” Wetzel said.

“We’ll take those easy, free points.”

Likewise, in the fourth game, Jade Petersen helped the Timberwolves build an early 8-2 lead thanks to three straight aces.

Mount Ayr eventually made it a 12-12 game, but Southwest Valley pulled away once again.

“We just get down too many points before we de-cide we’re going to start battling in the game,” Bra-by said. “We need to start coming out mentally tough and not wait until the last 10 points of the game before we play. Overall, I think we’re 10 times better than we’ve been. We still need to put it all together.”

Mount Ayr fell to 2-2 for the season with the loss, while Southwest Valley

improved to 2-1. The Raid-erettes travel to Wayne on Thursday, while Southwest Valley travels to Martens-dale-St. Marys.

Creston had a strong ser-vice night again. Alli Thom-sen was 9-9 with an ace, Luther was 8-9 with one ace and Haylee LaMasters was 6-7 with three aces. Luther tallied 22 assists in three sets.

The Panthers are poised to compete for something missing in the program for many years — a tournament championship.

They travel to the Fillie Invitational Saturday. Last year Creston knocked off Class 1A state-ranked Stan-ton in the semifinals before host Shenandoah knocked off the Panthers, 21-18, 21-9, for the championship.

The defending champs, Stanton and Pride of Iowa Conference contenders Bedford and Southwest Val-ley are also in the field, as well as an improved Lenox team that beat East Union Tuesday.

“We’ve been second a lot of times,” Luther said. “We need to set up our play and get that (championship) done.”

Next week the Panthers travel to St. Albert before hosting Denison-Schleswig on Thursday. On Tuesday, Denison-Schleswig edged Kuemper Catholic, 3-2, and St. Albert fell to crosstown rival Lewis Central, 3-1. Harlan and Red Oak pre-vailed in 3-0 sweeps over Shenandoah and Glenwood, respectively.

Ashley Harris led the net attack with six kills and four ace serves. Nicole Haley contributed four kills.

“Our girls came to play,” Creston coach Jessie Mc-Clellan said. “We are learn-ing to play with one another and are looking better each game. They didn’t let up.

Only letting Atlantic score seven points is amazing!”Freshmen

Creston freshmen won their first match Tuesday, knocking off Atlantic 25-22, 25-19.

Coach Mike McCabe said serving leaders were Makayla Davis and Kiersten Latham. MyKenna Hribal and Latham combined for a strong setting performance. Faith Wilson had a strong match at the net.

“’We’re doing the right things more often,” coach Mike McCabe said. “The girls played well.”
