Lunch lawsuit affected local schools, refunds available By BAILEY POOLMANCNA staff [email protected]

Several local schools were affected by a lawsuit, which could result in parents receiving refunds.

According to the Iowa School Food Settlement website, the pending law-suit claims Iowa Association for Educa-tional Purchasing and Martin Brothers Distributing Company “conspired to restrain competition in the market for the retail sale of food at schools in Iowa and that Martin Brothers attempted to

monopolize that market in violation of Iowa antitrust laws.”

Joe Drake, Bedford, Clearfield and Mount Ayr shared superintendent, said claims are up to the parents, not staff.

“We need to be ready to answer par-ents if they start ask-ing us (questions),” Drake said. “I think it’s up to the parents to make the claim, and I don’t know how it would have any

effect on us except if they ask for docu-mentation (of students) from us.”

Parents who had children attending local schools within a 13-year span and bought school lunch can receive $3.50 per student per year, with a maximum of $50 per student.

Martin Brothers Distributing Com-pany has agreed to pay $1,925,000 as settlement.

To make a claim and get the refunded money, go to www.iowaschoolfoodset-tlement.com and click on the link to file a claim.

The claiming deadline is Sept. 30.

A Creston teenager died Thursday morning following a two-vehicle accident in eastern Adams County.

The accident occurred 7:38 a.m.According to an Iowa State Patrol crash report, Christian

Silva, 15, of Creston was driving a 1999 Chevy Silverado south on Vanilla Avenue in rural Adams County when he failed to stop at a stop sign and slammed into the side of a semi being driven east on 200th Street by John Paxson, 37, of Mount Ayr.

Silva was pronounced dead at the scene and transported to the state medical ex-aminer. Paxson was treated and released at the scene. Both Silva and Paxson were wearing safety belts.

Flying with honor Local veterans take Honor Flight to travel and reflect on their time in the service

By SARAH BROWNCNA staff [email protected]

There will be a heroes’ welcome this month in the nation’s capitol for more than 300 Iowa veterans.

This year, Honor Flight Network is paying a small tribute to Korean War era veterans with a daytrip Sept. 30 to Washington D.C.

The purpose of Honor Flight is to provide a re-source for “se-nior heroes,” many who are in their 80s, to visit their memorial.

“It’s just won-derful, the en-ergy,” said Bill Ballinger, Honor Flight Network volunteer.

Ballinger said the trip provides closure for many veterans. It pro-vides closure to a long military career, a way to pay tribute to those who served and the service men and women who were lost.

“They are reliving some of the good times and some of the bad,” Ballinger said. “It’s therapeutic in my opinion.”

Local veterans honoredIt has been 63 years since Bill Crit-

tenden last visited Washington D.C. This time, the trip has a new and senti-mental meaning for him.

Crittenden, who is participating in this year’s Honor Flight, was one of 11 students who visited D.C. in 1951 with his senior class at Arispe High School. A year after his graduation, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, where he served as a B-36 gunner until 1956.

“Oh my gosh,” Crittenden said. “I think this just kind of wraps everything up of being in the service at that time.”

From the model B-36 bomber that

sits on top of his refrigerator, the American flag that stands tall on his front lawn, the meticulously typed journal chronologically capturing his life and time in the military, to his vol-unteer service with Afton Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 8882, Crit-tenden is proud to have served in the United States military.

He said he is looking most forward to sharing this experience with his friends and fellow service men Eddie Ehm, Dick Ide, Dick Ross, Orville Lines and George Foster, and finding out who the other local veterans will be joining him on the Honor Flight.

“I think all of them feel the same

way I do,” Crittenden said.Honor FlightHonor Flight is a free service started

in 2005 by Earl Morse, a retired Air Force captain turned physician assis-tant. After realizing veterans who he treated every day in his clinic would not be able to visit the new World War II Memorial built in their honor, Morse partnered with small-business owner Jeff Miller to establish the first Honor Flight.

Since their first flight, consisting of 12 veterans, Honor Flight Network has

USDA boosts corn, soybean harvest to new records DES MOINES (AP) —

The nation’s corn and soy-bean farmers will bring in by far the largest harvest ever this year, the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture said Thursday in a new report.

Corn farmers are expect-ed to harvest nearly 14.4 billion bushels of corn, up from last year’s 13.9 billion bushel record. The yield of 172 bushels per acre is sig-nificantly higher than the previous record set in 2009 of 165 bushels per acre.

Record yields will be set in 18 states, the USDA said, and 10 states including Illi-nois, Iowa, and Nebraska, the top three producers, have the highest number of ears per corn stalk ever.

A massive harvest has been expected this year as adequate rain and cool temperatures made for fa-vorable growing conditions. The expectations have driv-en corn and soybean prices significantly lower, but that isn’t expected to make much of a short-time dif-ference in consumer food prices. However, since the grains are staples in live-stock feed, lower prices could eventually lead to a decline in the cost of beef,

pork, chicken and milk.The soybean harvest es-

timate also moved upward to a record of 3.9 billion bushels. The previous re-cord was 3.4 billion bushels in 2009. The per-acre yield is now estimated at record 46.6 bushels per acre, beat-ing the 2009 record of 44 bushels per acre.

After meeting all current demands for corn — includ-ing exports and use for ani-mal feed, ethanol and food ingredients — the USDA estimated 2 billion bush-els of corn would remain in stock. That’s the highest ending stock in a decade.

The report estimated ending soybean stocks at 475 million bushels, the

highest since 2006.Another positive of the

USDA report is that it also predicts record demand for corn and soybeans, said Chad Hart, an agriculture economist with Iowa State University.

That means farmers must keep a close eye on the markets and watch op-portunities to sell, he said. Slight movements of pen-nies per bushel can make a difference in the year’s income.

Despite the strong fore-cast, concerns have grown in recent days that early cold weather is creeping into the upper Midwest too soon as some crops are maturing later this year be-

cause a wet spring delayed planting in northern states.

“It’s a huge concern,” said Ryan Buck, who grows corn and soybeans on about 1,000 acres near Red Wing in southeast Minne-sota. “We need all of three weeks yet of warm weather. If we can string together some good weather here the potential is definitely there. The crop looks good, but we just need time.”

A hard freeze, tempera-

tures at 28 degrees or be-low for at least four hours, causes significant damage to crops.

Most of the concern is fo-cused on Michigan, Minne-sota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

Iowa remains the top corn producer, expecting 2.4 bil-lion bushels, up 13 percent from last year. Production in Illinois is estimated to be 9 percent higher at 2.3 bil-lion bushels and Nebraska

remains third in production with a 1.6 billion bushel es-timate, down 3.5 percent from last year’s crop.

For soybeans, Illinois is the top producer, with an estimated crop of nearly 563 million bushels, up 21 per-cent. Iowa is second highest producer with 512 million bushels, up 24 percent from a year ago, followed by Min-nesota at 312 million bush-els, a 15 percent increase over last year.

DES MOINES (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton left Iowa on an “excruciat-ing” night in 2008, the be-ginning of the end of her White House campaign. She returns for the first time this weekend, not quite yet run-ning for president but sure to hear cheers from a crowd of Democrats hoping she will.

Trailed by White House speculation, and joined by her husband, former Presi-dent Bill Clinton, the former secretary of state is trek-king to rural Indianola to pay tribute to the retiring Sen. Tom Harkin at his final Steak Fry — a fundraiser and fixture of the state’s po-litical calendar.

There will be plenty of talk about the upcoming midterm elections, espe-cially the Senate race to pick Harkin’s replacement. But all eyes will be on Clinton, and whether she will come back soon — and often — to court voters once again in

the first state to vote in the presidential campaign.

“She is going to rev up the crowd,” said Democratic state Sen. Liz Mathis. “Cer-tainly this is a great litmus test for her to see how many people not only are super-charged to wish Sen. Harkin well, but that they’re also glad to see her as well.”

More than 5,000 people are expected at this year’s Harkin Steak Fry — the steaks are grilled, not deep-fried — making it the largest since Hillary Clinton’s last appearance in 2007, when she was joined by Barack Obama, Joe Biden and oth-er Democrats running for president.

Her first run in Iowa be-gan that year with a rau-cous public event where thousands packed into Des Moines’ East High School. But her campaign stumbled, dogged by questions about her commitment to the ear-ly-voting state.

In the spring, a memo

written by a campaign aide suggesting she pull out of the caucuses and focus on other primary states was leaked to the media. The idea was rejected, but it implied she wasn’t fully committed to Iowa, which has played a pivotal role in every presi-dential campaign since Jim-my Carter’s surprise victory in 1976.

On caucus night, Clinton finished third and was criti-cal of the process before de-parting for New Hampshire, noting in her speech that Io-wans serving in the military and those who work at night couldn’t participate.

“The night of the Iowa caucuses, when I placed third, was excruciating,” Clinton wrote in her recent book, “Hard Choices.”

This weekend’s return is an opportunity for a fresh start, and she arrives in Iowa as the dominant fig-ure in Democratic politics, along with her husband and Obama. A super PAC

called Ready for Hillary has been encouraging Iowans to buy tickets for the event for weeks. The group planned to have a major presence at the Steak Fry, handing out T-shirts, signing up new sup-porters and shuttling in col-lege students from around the state.

The group even placed a billboard near the Des Moines airport using the “Texts From Hillary” meme, featuring a photo of a stern-looking Clinton peering through dark sunglasses at her Blackberry while aboard a military plane. It urges mo-torists not to text and drive.

“I’ve always, in retrospect, felt there was a zeitgeist for Barack Obama. I think per-sonally there’s a zeitgeist for Hillary Clinton,” said Bonnie Campbell, an Iowa chair of Clinton’s 2008 cam-paign. “The path is never a straight line. Assuming she makes the decision to run, this is a great way for her to come to Iowa.”

Saturday, Sept. 13, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Whether you are aware of it or not, you might be too blunt in your conversations with others today. Therefore, think before you speak. (And remember that courtesy will open doors to things you never imagined.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your work routine will be interrupted today, perhaps because of computer crashes, power outages, canceled meet-ings or staff shortages. Allow extra time in your day so that you have some wiggle room to deal with this.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an accident-prone day for your children, so if you are a parent, be vigilant! This also is an accident-prone day for sports events and activities in the entertainment world and the hospitality industry.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Family disputes might occur today because your home scene is interrupted. This could be due to the breakdown of small appliances or minor breakages. Patience!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day for you, so pay attention to every-thing you say and do. Think before you speak or act.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might find money today; you might lose money. If shopping,

keep your receipts and count your change. Guard your pos-sessions against loss or theft. It’s a crapshoot.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Relations with others are bumpy today, because people are blunt and possibly even rude. Basically, someone is speaking without thinking, and it doesn’t sound pretty.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) It’s easy to overlook details today, so if you are doing important work, please double-check everything. However, you easily will do science, mathematics, astrology and technical disciplines. Go figure.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Someone younger might cancel an appointment today or change your game plan. Meetings with groups might change or be canceled.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Conversations with author-ity figures are unpredictable today; they could go either way. If you feel nervous about

talking to your boss, stay away. Trust your intuition. Do not wake the sleeping giant.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans will be can-celed, rescheduled or delayed today. Similarly, schedules related to higher education (colleges and universities) will be interrupted.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Others might seem too slow for you today. Nevertheless, in your haste you might over-look something. It’s easy to be impatient, because you’re hun-

gry for new experiences.YOU BORN TODAY You

have determination, resilience, willpower and perseverance. (Impressive.) This is why you always get the job done! In addition, others respect your sincerity and dedication to whatever cause you embrace. You have excellent powers of concentration. This year, your success lies with others. People will benefit you. Therefore, make friends and join clubs. Help others, because you also will be helping yourself.

Dear Heloise: Do you have any hints for STORING DIG-ITAL PHOTOS? I have hun-dreds of pictures saved on my computer, and I have a hard time finding what I am look-ing for. — Isabella in Texas

Welcome to the new world! Sometimes too much of some-thing is NOT a great thing. The ease of digital photos makes it too EASY to just shoot, shoot and shoot photos! Here are a few hints to help you and oth-ers in the same situation:

• When downloading pic-tures, change and edit the image name. A lot of pho-tos are named “IMG_250, etc.” Change to something like “IMG_250 Chammy and birds.” NAMING photos can make them easier to find.

• Try sorting your photos into different folders; they don’t all have to be in the same one. You can make a folder for “Pets,” “Family,” “2004,” etc. That way, when looking, you hopefully can narrow it down by the folder.

• Go through your photos periodically and delete a lot! Why do we keep photos that we don’t like or that were taken by accident? Get rid of them! They are just wasting space and making it harder to find the ones you want.

• Invest in an external hard

drive. You don’t want to lose all your photos if your com-puter (or phone) crashes!

• If you store them on DVDs, be sure to check them periodically — they will not last forever!

com TRAVEL HINTDear Heloise: My favorite

hint for my friends is to never pack separate HIS and HER bags when traveling together. Pack several complete outfits in each other’s bag. One lady on a cruise never received her luggage and had to wear her husband’s clothes and buy clothes at each port. (Heloise here: Doesn’t sound too bad to me!)

Save receipts. If this hap-pens to you — losing your lug-

gage and having to buy new clothes — you might be able to make an insurance claim. — Amy H., Garden Grove, Calif.

Things do happen! Never put medicine or valuables (in-cluding new, expensive pur-chases) in checked luggage. My carry-on always has make-up, meds, important files and paperwork, as well as a change of blouse plus an extra scarf. I can survive for a day or two, if necessary! — Heloise

ting out the Hints From Helo-ise that I wanted for future ref-erence. Pieces of newspaper were cluttering up the counter and were disorganized. To keep track of the hints I want-ed to save, I made a “Hints From Heloise” note on the notes function of my phone. When I see a hint I want for future reference, I type it into my electronic notes. — Cath-erine C., via email

ELECTRIC SHAVERDear Heloise: I lost the little

brush that came with my elec-tric shaver and is used to clean it. I was stumped about what to do. I had an extra tooth-brush, and it has now become what I use to clean my shaver. — Patrick in Tennessee

Underdog — the super-beagle who saves his town from bad guys with barely a growl — may be a protract-ed joke (he first appeared in the 1960s and made a movie as recently as 2007), but a real-life dog actually can rescue you from painful sit-uations, even immediately after joint-replacement sur-gery!

New info reveals that a daily five- to 15-minute visit from a pooch trained in ani-mal-assisted therapy slashes folks’ need for oral pain meds (oxycodone, etc.) by 28 percent, and that might mean less trouble with side effects like constipation and less dependence on these sometimes-addicting drugs.

But is it sanitary to have a dog in your room when you’re recovering from ma-jor surgery? The organiza-tions that work with hos-pitals to bring in healing hounds should follow strict guidelines to make sure dogs are free of communi-cable diseases (psittacosis, salmonellosis, toxoplasmo-sis, campylobacteriosis and giardiasis) and that both pooches and their handlers know how to behave in often-tense recovery situa-tions.

So before you let a ther-apy dog into your hospital room, check with the person who runs the program to make sure the facility is fol-lowing all the guidelines for therapy dogs, including that they are not from a shelter or rescue; have been in a home for at least six months; and are frequently screened for health issues. Also, make sure there’s a super-vising vet working with the program and that your doc-tor signs off on having a dog visit with you. Then maybe

you’ll pet a pup instead of popping a pill!

SUPERDOSE FOR SE-NIORS

When Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline joined forces in “Last Ve-gas,” an old man’s version of “The Hangover,” they proved that experience and talent can’t protect you from sickening Viagra jokes. But a high-dose flu vaccine can protect that same over-the-hill crowd from a pretty sickening vi-rus. That’s really good news, because influenza is espe-cially tough on those 65 and older. Seniors account for 90 percent of deaths related to the flu, even though they’re far more likely to get inocu-lated than younger folks. Almost 70 percent of people 65 and older get their shots, while only around 26 per-cent of those 18-49 do.

So if you’re 65-plus, how can you increase your chanc-es of dodging the flu this season? Try the high-dose trivalent vaccine; it covers three types of flu and deliv-ers four times as much vac-cine as the standard trivalent inoculation. The result: It increases protection against the flu by 24 percent! This is important because standard flu vaccines aren’t all that effective among 65-plussers. Against last year’s most virulent H3N2 infection, the standard trivalent vaccine was only 9 percent effective — and overall it was only 27 percent effective. So, boost-ing the vaccine’s fighting

power to close to 50 percent is a huge health bonanza for seniors. (Among younger folks, the standard shots are 70 percent to 90 percent ef-fective.)

Another option for peo-ple who are 65-plus? A stan-dard quadrivalent vaccine that protects against four strains. Talk with your doc-tor about your best option, and then get your shot as soon as the vaccine is avail-able!

HOT TIPS ON DIABE-TES

In 1984, when a New York City cop offered wait-ress Phyllis Penzo half a lot-tery ticket as a tip, the $6 million payoff gave them each a new life. That hot tip also gave Nicolas Cage a hit movie (“It Could Happen to You” is based on a true story). Well, lately there’s been a winning series of hot tips for people with diabetes that (if followed) could be just as life-changing as a lot-tery win.

1. A vegan diet (that’s no animal-related products at all) eases diabetic nerve pain! This complication of diabetes affects 25 percent to 50 percent of people with Type 2 and can trigger ex-cruciating sensations and burning pain. In a small ran-domized, controlled study those who were vegans and ate 40 grams of fiber per day with 20 to 30 grams of fat per day (an ounce or less) and took vitamin B-12 supplements lowered their lousy LDL cholesterol, lost weight and saw levels of

pain decrease much more than folks only taking B-12.

2. A couple of handfuls of tree nuts, about 1/2 cup daily (we like walnuts and almonds), can improve your blood sugar control. For the best results, those nuts should replace refined carbs and animal protein in your diet.

3. Mindful meditation boosts control of glucose levels and significantly lowers A1C (an average of glucose levels over sev-eral months). And, a study among veterans found that it also slashes diabetes-re-lated stress by more than 40 percent. For mindful medi-tation instructions, go to sharecare.com.

Enjoy the winning combo of these new findings!

CAN CAFFEINATED COFFEE QUIET TINNI-TUS?

In the 2007 film “Noise,” Aussie constable Graham McGahan battles Mel-bourne’s bad guys — and his own deafening case of tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Luckily, when the din from a car horn cancels out the racket in his head, he hears his nemesis sneaking up on him.

It may seem unlikely that loud honking really could nullify internal humming caused by nerve activation in the inner ear and brain, allowing him to hear faint sounds. But you know what? It could have happened. Tinnitus sufferers often use white noise machines to cancel out the internal din and help them get to sleep.

Tinnitus can result from damage to sound-transmit-ting hairs in your inner ear. Or it may be from muscu-lar or nerve problems as-sociated with a neck injury,

TMJ, circulatory problems, medications or age-related hearing loss. Tinnitus affects about 14 percent of people age 60-69.

Treatments usually focus on trying to stop the racket or, if that doesn’t work, calming your reaction to it. But the latest good news? A caffeine study found that drinking three to four 8-ounce cups of coffee daily (450-600 mg of caffeine) re-duced the incidence of tinni-tus by 15 percent.

Seems caffeine does more than decrease your risk for nine cancers and help you dodge age-related cogni-tive problems! It’s possible that caffeine stimulates your central nervous system and alters the nerves that are jangling in your inner ear and brain. Just be aware of other sources of caffeine in your diet, and have your last dose at least four hours be-fore turning in.

WORKING TO MAKE KIDS’ WORKING MEM-ORY STRONGER

Mr. Peabody, the Har-vard-educated, cartoon ca-nine professor (he graduat-ed years before Dr. Oz), has an IQ that’s so high, some say he’s the world’s smartest person! So it may surprise you that as a pup Mr. Pea-body is rumored to have had working (aka “short term”) memory problems. Luck-ily, you can teach a young (or old) dog new tricks! Mr. P trained his mind to hold onto incoming information so he could use it to his ad-vantage ... and the rest is animation history.

Working memory prob-lems have nothing to do with IQ — nor, in many instances, with ADHD (at-tention deficit hyperactiv-ity disorder). But they do

make it difficult for kids to hone their reading skills or master math. Most children identified as “poor readers” or “arithmetic disabled” have problems with working memory.

If you suspect your child has working memory chal-lenges:

—Reduce sensory over-load: No TV while doing homework; no music while reading.

—Work with your child’s strengths: If she’s skilled visually, but doesn’t listen well, convey information through images more than spoken words.

—Help your child focus on one task at a time; se-quential multitasking works; overlapping does not.

—Teach “chunking”: grouping instructions or information into bite-size packages to be digested one at a time. Ask teachers to do that with their instructions, too.

—Encourage physical ac-tivity. It improves working memory. Provide brain fuel with DHA-omega-3 rich foods and supplements.

—Get your child evalu-ated by a professional; then don’t automatically opt for medication! And for more info check out the National Center for Learning Dis-abilities website: www.ncld.org.

Weekly healthy tipsDr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. andDr. Michael Roizen, M.D.

Boost kids’ nutrition with tips on creating a balanced plate(BPT) — It’s no secret a

wholesome diet helps keep kids healthy while giving them the energy and nutri-ents they need to concen-trate and excel at school. Healthful meals and physi-cal activity are essential for child growth and develop-ment, and parents hold the key to proper nutrition for the entire family.

Fortunately, eating right doesn’t have to mean spend-ing a lot of money or time in the kitchen. By relying on nutritious and convenient canned and frozen foods, in addition to fresh, any par-ent or caregiver can create quick, delicious, nutritious meals the whole family will love.

The best place to start when planning a healthy meal is to consider ingredi-ents and portion sizes. My-Plate, the food graphic that replaced the food pyramid, is an easy guide. The graphic emphasizes building a plate with variety and appropriate portions of fruit, vegetables, grains, proteins and dairy.

Focus on fruits and veg-

etables: According to My-Plate, kids should be eating a variety of fruit and veg-etables, with slightly more emphasis on colorful veg-gies. Fortunately, there are many ways to enjoy these nutrient-packed foods. All forms of fruits and veg-etables, whether they are canned, fresh, frozen, dried or 100-percent juice, count toward the recommended daily intake. Stock up on canned fruit and vegetables to save on prep time and keep nutritious foods at your fingertips year-round.

Vary your protein choic-es: It’s easy to default to chicken and beef when it comes to getting protein into meals. But variety is the spice of life, and a diet rich in different protein sources helps children expand their palate. Animal sources of protein include meat, poul-try, seafood and eggs. Plant sources of protein include beans, peas, soy products, nuts and seeds. Experiment with main dishes made with canned beans, seafood or chicken, nutritious protein

options that can be part of dinner on any busy school night. How much is enough? Most people ages 9 and old-er should eat 5 to 7 ounces of protein each day, rec-ommends the USDA. One ounce of protein is equal to: 1 ounce lean meat, poul-try or seafood; one egg; 1/4 cup cooked beans or peas; 1/2 ounce nuts or seeds; or 1 tablespoon of peanut butter.

Add whole grains: Bread, pasta, breakfast cereals and tortillas are just a few ex-amples of grain products people eat often. Any food made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal or barley counts. Strive to make whole-grain foods at least half of your family’s daily intake of grain by choosing whole-wheat bread and pasta or getting creative with unique sources like brown rice, barley or even canned hominy to add to soups and casseroles.

Don’t forget the dairy: As an alternative to plain milk, try offering other dairy op-tions like yogurt and cheese. Start the school day right with an energizing break-

fast of whole grain cereal topped with low fat yogurt and canned fruit like peach-es or Mandarin oranges; this will keep even the pickiest eaters satisfied until their lunchtime.

Listen to health experts: A recent survey of health professionals found that the vast majority of dieti-tians (95 percent) regularly rely on canned ingredients at home and agree canned

foods are a great way to meet dietary goals. In fact, 9 out of 10 dietitians say they reg-ularly recommend canned food to others. And while moms and dads are turning to canned ingredients be-cause they are convenient, often less expensive than fresh and available year-round, the survey also found they still have a number of concerning misperceptions about canned food com-

pared to dietitians. Check out an infographic at www.mealtime.org to learn more about what these nutrition experts already know.

Keep taste top-of-mind: If kids don’t like the taste of a food, they won’t eat it. Be creative and prevent meal-time battles by adding veg-etables to spaghetti or mix-ing them with their favorite casseroles and soups.

Iowa college hopes to use grass to power campus

IOWA CITY (AP) — The Uni-versity of Iowa is hoping it will be able to use grass as a biofuel to help power the campus

About 70 people, including University of Iowa officials, on Wednes-day toured Dan Black’s farm where he is grow-ing giant miscan-thus, a tropical tallgrass native to east Asia, the Iowa City Press-Citizen reported.

The University of Iowa is aiming to use less energy in 2020 than it did in 2010, even as

its campus expands. By 2020, the college wants to have

40 percent of its energy derived from renewable sources, according to Ben Anderson, the university’s power plant manager.

The school has been increasing its use of burning oat hulls in an at-tempt to draw down how much coal it burns at its power plant.

The university plans to test the grass by burning it in its boilers next week.

Black approached the university to offer a portion of his property for its pilot project, with the college renting the 15 acres for five years and paying for the planting, mainte-nance and harvest of the grass.

The school is also working with

a farm near Muscatine to grow the grass.

“It just seems to make sense, if we can grow energy,” Black said. “It’s a renewable energy source — it just seems like it’s worth a try, worth the effort and worth the experimenta-tion to see if this will work for us.”

The University of Iowa has said it hopes to plant an extra 2,500 acres of the plant by 2016.

Black said it is clear the grass has taken a liking to Iowa’s soil.

In some areas, the grass has grown higher than 6 feet, which is about twice as tall as generally ex-pected in its first year of growth, said Emily Heaton, an Iowa State University assistant professor of agronomy.

Iowa man sought in attempted slaying of officer

OELWEIN (AP) — Au-thorities on Friday were searching in and around a northeast Iowa city for a man suspected of trying to kill an officer.

A news release from the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and the Oel-wein Police Department asked the public’s help in finding the man.

The release said he was wanted on one count of at-

tempted murder “involving a peace officer in Oelwein” on Thursday afternoon.

The man was described as being 33 and from Maynard.

No other details about the incident or the officer were released. Online court re-cords don’t show that charg-es have been filed.

The department said in its release that it had no infor-mation “to believe the public is in any danger.”

Ravens rollBALTIMORE — The

dismissal of Ray Rice wasn’t a distraction for the Baltimore Ravens.

Ultimately, it served as inspiration.

Playing a pivotal divi-sional game three days after the release of the star running back, Balti-more got a pair of touch-down passes from Joe Flacco and rolled past the rival Pittsburgh Steelers 26-6 on Thurs-day night.

Coming off a season-opening loss to AFC North foe Cincinnati, the Ravens (1-1) held Pittsburgh to two field goals and forced three turnovers.

Bernard Pierce took over for Rice to gain 96 yards on 22 carries as part of a ground game that finished with 157 yards. Flacco went 21-for-29 for 166 yards and two TD throws to tight end Owen Dan-iels, and Justin Tuck-er kicked four field goals.Stanton hit

Miami Marlins star outfielder Giancarlo Stanton suffered fa-cial lacerations requir-ing stitches, multiple facial fractures and dental damage after being struck under his left eye by a pitch from Mike Fiers in a 4-2 loss to the Mil-waukee Brewers.

Stanton was driven off the field in an am-bulance after being hit in the face by a pitch in the fifth inning.

The Marlins an-nounced Stanton suf-fered a laceration and was undergoing X-rays and a CT scan. But Marlins manager Mike Redmond acknowl-edged after the game that he was not opti-mistic about the extent of the injury.

Stanton immediately fell to the ground af-ter being hit by Fiers’ 88 mph fastball. Train-ers from both teams came to his assistance, and he was placed on a backboard and then a stretcher.

Stanton’s father was at the game and came on the field while his son was treated, then left with him in the am-bulance.

Murray cruises past young Diagonal team By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

MURRAY — An experi-enced, senior and junior-lad-en Murray team won a quick 25-9, 25-6, 25-11 sweep over a young Diagonal team here Thursday in Bluegrass Con-ference action.

But the win didn’t come without a price, as Murray junior Madison Gonseth, a key piece in the middle for the Lady Mustangs, s u f f e r e d an ankle injury in the first game and did not re-turn to the court.

Gonseth went up at the net, getting a kill to give Murray a 22-9 lead, but as she came back to the ground, rolled her ankle and crumpled to the floor in pain.

Murray head coach Jerry Shields tended to her in the middle of the court, and af-ter a few minutes, helped Gonseth off the court to a round of applause.

“She said it hurts really, really bad,” Shields said. “We’ll just wait and see, I guess.”

Gonseth was diagnosed with two torn ligaments in her right ankle Thursday night. She is expected to miss at least a week to 10 days.

Sophomore Katie Otto re-placed Gonseth in the Mur-

ray lineup for the remainder of the match. Shields said he will take a look at multiple options for filling that void in the middle moving for-ward.

“We kind of had to do a makeshift thing there to-night by putting in a sopho-more to take her place,” he said. “The only thing with

losing her out of the middle is losing a lot of height out of the middle, so not sure what we’ll look at doing yet. We may take a look at mov-ing Hannah (Barber) into the middle from the outside. We’ll just have to see in

Panther girls fourth, boys sixth at Greene County By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

JEFFERSON — Cut the gaps.

That was the takeaway for Creston head cross country coach Pat Schlapia after Thursday’s meet at Greene County.

Cut the gaps — both within the team and in the team standings.

The Panther girls fin-ished fourth out of 11 schools with 135 points, behind Ballard (41), Win-terset (52) and Atlantic (97). The Creston boys, meanwhile, finished sixth with 142 points, losing a tiebreaker to Nevada. Win-terset won the boys team competition with 69 points.

“This was a good learn-ing meet for us,” Schlapia said. “This isn’t the last we’re going to see these schools. We’re going to see these schools a lot this sea-son. We want to catch these schools ahead of us. The teams that beat us, we want to cut the gap on them.”

Likewise, on both the boys and girls teams, there are gaps that need to be cut. Cutting those gaps will lead to cutting the gaps on the other teams.

Senior Maria Mostek led the Panther girls with a fourth place finish in 16:20 over the muddy 4K course.

Mostek finished behind Class 3A sixth-ranked Abby Kohut-Jackson of

Ballard and 12th-ranked Tiffany Williams of At-lantic, as well as Denison-Schleswig freshman Ellie Mendlik.

But from Mostek to sophomore Rachel Shep-herd, who rounded out the scoring by finishing fifth for the Panthers, there was a gap of 2:43.

Jessica Beatty finished 20th in 17:49 and Madi-son Hance placed 32nd in 18:39. Lexie Little, running just her second cross coun-try meet, crossed in 18:58 for 44th place.

“She (Little) really m o v e d up and s h o w e d a lot of improve-m e n t , ” S c h l a -pia said. “ S h e ’ s going to get stron-ger each time, coming off tonsillitis.”

The Panthers finished six points ahead of host Green County, ranked sixth in Class 2A.

“Finishing behind Bal-lard and Winterset, those are ranked teams in 3A,” Schlapia said. “Atlantic is looking real strong this year. Those are three teams we want to be battling with. We don’t want to be 40 or 50 points behind them. We

Volleyball offers collective ‘unity’ experiences I only minored in psychology and

sociology at Iowa as an undergrad, so I don’t profess to be the ultimate au-thority on human behavior.

But, I have a theory.It’s come to me while watching this

volleyball season unfold.It’s a sport, I’ve come to realize, that

fits the psyche of the young female athlete perfectly. And, those of us who coach other sports could learn some-thing from how this “fit” generates enthusiasm and passion for the sport among its participants.

And, this theory extends all the way from middle school up through the college level, because I’ve had the same observations at SWCC matches.

Think about any volleyball match you’ve seen. They have rituals for so many things. When you come off the floor, you go down the line of the coaches and players on the bench, get-ting “high-fives.” Every time.

On the court, there are specific ritu-als they do together when somebody scores an ace serve. Another for a kill. They come together, and do it in uni-son.

They feed off that shared energy. This will be my sixth year coaching middle school girls basketball, after more than a decade of coach-ing boys in basketball and baseball, mostly at the middle school level.

You don’t treat them differ-ently in many respects, I get

that. Tough athletes are tough ath-letes, finding a way to win, whether they are male or female. I’ve had plenty from both sides that I’d go to war with.

But to not acknowledge there are inherent mental and emotional ten-dancy differences would be ignorant. They are real. Creston coach Brent Douma agrees with me, as does golf instructor Mark Egly of Des Moines, who covered some of those differenc-es in a presentation Sunday at Crest-moor Golf Club.

Reader warning — I’m venturing into generalities here. These observa-tions aren’t valid for 100 percent of the people, but they are noticeable trends. I’ve experienced it.

Girls love the collective experience.Whether they’re going through a

brutal practice, locked in a tight game, or just killing time after school, they like doing it in groups. Fact: they are more advanced social beings than us

guys. (Just ask my wife.)Guys love the aspect of “family”

and teamwork within the structure of competitive athletics, too. Don’t get me wrong. But there’s a different level of that passion for the girls. Part of the reason they tend to love a sport, except for individual settings like golf

and tennis, is what they get from each other through the experience.

Heck, all you need as evidence for that is the decibel difference on a bus ride home with my seventh-grade girls

team on a ride home from Stuart after a big win (cue up the sing-a-longs), vs. most of the rides I experi-enced with the guys’ teams. A boy might be buried in his phone, playing a video game, rather than talking to the guy next to him.

If the guys are talking, they’re likely good-natured-ly trash-talking each other over something — talkin’ smack. (There’s another term for it that I won’t use in a family newspaper.) Don’t hold your breath waiting for singing in unison.

So, that’s the backdrop for my theory on volleyball. Everybody is counted on in volleyball to do their job — the server, the defensive digger, the blocker. And each is rewarded for doing their job well.

I’d love to have that social spirit in the sport I coach, because I really feel it’s part of the draw of the sport for these girls. (Plus boys don’t play it, so you can’t compare the level of play.)

But, there are natural

breaks in the action allow-ing for such in volleyball. In basketball, you’re still run-ning the court in transition, unless there’s a whistle for a foul call or a timeout. There aren’t as many chances to stop and share a good mo-ment. It’s on to the next play.

But, I’ve learned some-thing from the sport of vol-leyball, and I’ll be brain-storming ways to mimic some of those teamwork traits. Even if it’s just a rule to “high five” everyone on the bench if you come out of the game.

The brief “huddle” in the lane before a free throw is shot is another. You get a moment to communicate something important, and support each other.

Thank you, volleyball, for opening my eyes to some-thing.

•••The other difference, not-

ed by Egly in his golf clinic, is how well most female stu-dents listen to his instruc-tion, and try to incorporate those lessons. Guys will too,

but a higher percentage might be a tougher sell.

“When a woman gets in-struction, she will try to do it to a ‘T,’ and she trusts the in-structor,” Egly said. “Guys are sometimes dismissive, if they feel they already know how to do it.”

In my five years, girls have really tried hard to do what I say, and they seem appre-ciative of my efforts to help them. A higher percentage of them still talk to me in the hallways, etc.

I’m close to a lot of guys I’ve coached, too, and I know football might offer the best “collective” team sentiment in all of sports.

But some of these ob-servations ring true to this amateur sports psycholo-gist. There are a lot of pros in coaching girls, which is something this father of two boys would not have even thought about saying six years ago!

•••As I mentioned above,

guys like to smack-talk each other. We take it, because we like to dish it out. Fe-

males, not so much.This is a huge week for

slinging the smack, with Iowa facing Iowa State. Terry Freeman and I, for example, have been pretty ruthless with each other on Facebook with a variety of insulting posts about the Hawks and ‘Clones. If I get under his skin just a little, I’ve had a minor victory. But I know he’ll be coming right back with equal force.

Yet, we’re good friends. I know some women don’t understand how that dy-namic works. But it does.

On the drive back from Iowa City Saturday evening, if I’m not receiving some nasty text from a celebrating Cyclone, I’m probably tap-ping one out.

That’s how we treat our best friends. We’re much more cordial to people we don’t like so much.

Deb says that’s all jacked up. She thinks we’re not that far removed from the Nead-erthals, really.

practice, see what happens.”Barber finished the match

T h u r s -day with a match-high 17 kills for the Class 1A 14th-r a n k e d Lady Mus-tangs. She also added two blocks.Learningexperience

The opportunity to face Barber, a returning all-stater for Murray, provided a new challenge for the young Ma-roonettes, who play four sophomores and one fresh-man in their lineup.

“We’re growing,” Diago-nal head coach Allison Hajek said. “We’re getting more mature, older. We’re under-standing the game of volley-ball better, but we have yet to go up against hitters like Murray has. This was a good practice. I think the girls had a lot of fun playing against it,

trying for it, just getting to ex-perience that.”

It’s a test that came early in the season for Diagonal. With plenty of volleyball ahead in the season, Hajek said her team can apply what it learned from Thursday’s match to the rest of the season.

“We’ve learned so much from just playing this match, because not as many teams in the conference hit like they do,” Hajek said. “So we really got to work on our blocking and talk to our girls about blocking and just timing with that. Absolutely, just playing this game, we have a whole list of things we can work on in practice.”

Senior Shelby Comer re-corded three kills for the Maroonettes, while Kaitlyn Klommhaus added two kills. Jaci Haidsiak set five assists and had three digs. Kasydi Klommhaus recorded two digs.

Shields said he felt his team showed improvement in passing and serving from Tuesday’s close win against Lamoni.

McKenzie Case led the Lady Mustangs at the service line, going 22-22 with 10 aces. Barber served seven aces.

“We were able to do things tonight we wanted to do,” he said. “Got the passes to Bran-di (Gilbert) a lot better and were able to attack the net in-stead of 7 to 8 feet off the net, which is kind of what we were doing against Lamoni the oth-er night. I think we did make an improvement there.”

Murray improved to 3-0 for the season with the win. The Lady Mustangs travel to Melcher-Dallas on Tuesday and Orient-Macksburg on Thursday. Diagonal, now 0-4, travels to Mormon Trail on Thursday.

For the Panther boys, the one-two punch of Cooper McDermott and Jay Wolfe came up big once again.

McDermott finished sec-ond in 16:53 for the 5K course, fin-ishing be-hind Class 3A’s sixth-r a n k e d Luke Ko-hut-Jack-son. Wolfe finished third in 17:33.

“They went the first mile

in about 5:08,” Schlapia said. “Talking to Cooper after, that’s what the boys wanted to do, stay with Ko-hut-Jackson. They hung in there. Cooper tried to make a move there once they got to the track (300 meters to go), but wasn’t able to over-come the gap.”

Ben Irr, typically the third runner for the Panthers, was held out with a leg in-jury. Senior Brant Hudson s t e p p e d up and fin-ished third for the Panthers, r u n n i n g 19:47 for 36th place.

“That’s what we expect out of a senior like Brant, to pick up the slack on that,” Schlapia said. “Nick Walsh, he’s been varsity both meets so far this sea-son.

“Just like the girls, we need a lot of work on clos-ing the gaps. From Cooper to Isaac, we had a 4 minute gap. We need to cut that down big time. That’s go-ing to be a goal, something we’re going to need to shoot for.”

The Panthers now know what they need to work on moving forward this sea-son. Still, there were posi-tives to take away from the

meet.“We were right there

competing with state-ranked teams and state-ranked individuals,” Schla-pia said. “We believe we’re good enough to be right there, also.”

Creston returns to action Monday at Ballard, with the Panther girls running at 5:20 p.m., followed by the JV girls at 5:40. The Pan-ther boys run at 6:20 p.m. and the JV boys follow at 6:40.
