november is a popular month to ort facial hair. there are two major campaigns going on though one is movember, and the other is no-shave november. movember raises money for prostate cancer and testicular cancer among other health issues. the goal behind no- shave november is to dona the money you'd spend on shaving related products to the american cancer society. dr. steve joyce with mercy medical center says it's all about awareness. "most of my patients have never seen me with even a stubble and they'll say 'gosh, you know, it's been a few days since you've shaved' and it's good conversation starter as far as raising health care awareness for men's health issues," saiaidr. steven joyce, mercy medicacacenter. dr. joyce says it't'especially important since e n are less likely to check their health than women. if you're participating in movember, we want to see your photos! you can send them to connect at ktiv dot com and they might end up on air. you can always post them to our facebook page, or email them to us. and tonight... ktiv's robert lowe talks with

see graphics. >> if you're on facebook or other social media... you have no doubt seen ads that pop up, warning of foods that will make you fat or what you should consume to lose belly fat. barbara morse silva takes a look at those ads to see if they are true:

(sot: karen zangari, registered dietitian) "it's not the banana. a banana this size has about 60 to 80 calories. it has potassium, fiber. it's something you want to include in your diet." speaking of starch-- the potato has a bad rep too. not so, says karen. they're rich in potassium, vitamin c and fiber. three ounces baked has only 80 calories (sot: karen zangari, registered dietitian) "so you have a small amount, you drizzle a little olive oil and you have greekekogurt which is like a sour cream, you've got a lot of f trition there." (sot: marissa tansino, college student) "you see diet and you think, oh well it muste good if i'm on a diet." uh, not so fast. you know those foods labeled reduced fat. for instance whole fat peanut butter may be higher in fat and calories but it only has peanuts as an ingredient. look at this label for a reduced fat peanut butter. marissa found this to be a learning experience. (sot: marissa tansino, college student) "if there's things you can't pronounce, it's probably not

power bars. there are so many of them. and they're touted as healththoods. but look closely at the labels. some are loaded with sugugs. (sot: karen zangari, registeted dietitian) "21 grams of sugar right there" bottom line says karen: opt for fruits and vegetables first. >> that was barbara morse silva porting. be sure to read the labels... even the same type of foods can vary greatly in calories, added sugars, salt and fats. be especially careful with drinks. sugary sodas and energy drinks can pack a lot of calories without being very filling. coming up after the break... how one sioux city teen is overcoming obstacles on and off the matt

a sioux city teen isn't letting barriers get between him and his new found passion. family, friends and coaches watched him grow last night. and wrestling isn't a sport that michael powell's momomays she expected r son to sign up foror ktiv's sam curtiss hasashe ory. with a hug from his mom "you can do this right?" asked trudy powell. and some last minute reminders. "this is all about a teaching league as well," said a wrestling coach. 13-year-old michael powell wrestles in his first match. "i was pretty excited," said michael powell. "i knew i could do it." michael goes three periods strong. "up, up, up," screamed rich wilmesherr. with mom anxiously cheering on her son. "come on michael," said trudy powell. "oh, oh." michael's up against two opponents, the one on the mat. the other autism. "he's never gotten up in front a crowd before," said trudy powell. "he usually lets everyone else take the show." and for two weeks that's what he did. the eighth grader at sioux city west middle school skipped his first two

the three-week season grappling with nerves. "a student with autism, i never thought i'd see a student come back and want to get involved with all the contact involved," said rich wilmesherr. the 190-pounder dropped his first wrestling bout. but, remained optimistic. "nobody wins their first match," said michael powell. he's not the only one learning. its forced his coach to rethink his game plan with other athletes. "as a coach it made me stop and think about 'am i teaching them the exact proper technique' cause he'll do it exactly as i tell him," said rich wilmesherr. what he didn't tell him to do was wrestle again. michael, guided by his growing confidence takes to the mat for another match. "to watch him grow in the last three weeks has been huge," said rich wilmesherr. "i didn't know if he'd do it again but for him to step up and say 'yeah i want to' i think says a lot about his character." "i'm extremely proud and will never forget this day," said trudy powell. last night, everyone who wrestled won.

reiterated that's the big takeaway. michael does have one more meet before the season is over. today is veterans day... a day to honor the men and women who've served in our country's armed forces. three iowa veterans reunite to share their unique bond from a war --- a war in which two were shot down. brad hanson has the story

"what were you feeling when you got to actually see it, and stand there and experience all of that? "it brought tears to my eyes. it's truly an honor, thank you so much."

that was brad hansen reporting. they'll be speaking today at a veteran's day ceremony in dubuque. there's a lot of rain and even some possible thunderstorms in the forecast today. ben's in next with the details. and the story of how one 5- year-old boy saved his entire family from a fire.

if you think there's no solution to the climate crisis, think again. in iowa, wind energy is already producing enough power for over a million homes, reducing our dependence on foreign oil and supporting six thousand jobs. i'm tom steyer. with bold leadership and an endless supply of wind and sun, we can do that across america. the goal is 50% clean energy by 2030.

resources for free. many area organizations pitched in for the cause. cubby's convenience store donated food for the meal. the elk's club donated 2- thousand dollars worth of new winter coats. "mostly people know us as being the agency that helps connect military members and their families in time of crisis, but we also have a significant service that we provide to veterans and that's what this is about," said american red cross executive director, tammy lee. there will be another event like this for veterans on december 15th at the american red cross in sioux city. support siouxland soldiers presented an award to students who are helping veterans. the organization presents their "heroes on the homefront" award to organizations, schools and businesses who support troops in a major way. yesterday, le mars community high school students received that award for their continued donations. they gathered food, hygiene items and care packages. "it's important for the young students to know how important their work is in the community and how appreciate we are of their help

and supporting our troops," said support siouxland soldiers founder, sarah petersen. at the event the students brought a bus load of food, 40 care packages and 13-hundred-dollars to send the packages overseas. on the eve of veterans day, a local group who continue to protect the community were honored. ktiv's tiffany lane shares how many members of the sioux city fire rescue were recognized yesterday.

"nobody really understands the concept of brotherhood quite like firefighters and veterans do," said orwig. "it's an alliance. it's a friendship. it's relying on one another." the ceremony was put together by the international fire fighters local chapter. it took place at the flight 232 memorial overlooking veterans memorial bridge in the background. "it's about the recognition for the sacrifices and service that other people have made and i just feel like it's a very appropriate location," said brian malcolm, sioux city fire rescue. all branches of the military were recognized at the event. "i was kind of amazed by how many veterans that have served, that we actually have in the department," said adam wright, sioux city fire rescue. "i knew we had some navy and some marines and the air force. and to see everybody here was kind of humbling to see that we had that much experience." an experience that the group will always be able to share. out of sioux city's current 110 members, 25 percent have served or are serving in the u.s. armed forces. collectively, current members have more than 300 years of

service. tiffany lane, ktiv news 4." >> veterans with the fire department include those from vietnam up to the war on terror in iraq and afghanistan. one siouxland elementary school just couldn't wait to show their appreciation for the men and women in uniform. "thank you, thank you, thank you to you." a big thank you from these students to those who protect our freedom. that was the message yesterday at covington elementary in south sioux city. but thanks isn't all the students had to give. the school raised more than one thousand dollars to donate to the siouxland freedom park in south sioux. "these youngsters at covington elementary, their teachers, their parents, their friends: you can't believe what this means to us. this was raised with pennies and nickels and dimes and dollar bills and their efforts. and as veterans on this day, it's just like a dream come true," said siouxland

"we've thought, for this year since the 1700 was no sweat at all for the kids to accomplish, we would do the sweatpants. for them to have an out of uniform day is kind of

nice. it's nice for the teachers too. we all feel just a little more relaxed." holy cross sixth grade teacher kim sealey was one of the staff members that started the reading challenge two years ago. she says they have reached the goal each and every year. students say it's important to take up reading at a young age. "it can take you to different places," said alainna joly, a sixth-grader at holy cross- blessed sacrament center. "when you're in a book, and you just focus on the book, it'll take you to a different universe. and you'll get all the ideas when you read." sealey says the school will raise the reading goal by 100 books every quarter. that would bring the total to 2,000 by the end of the school year. there's a new program that is helping people with high blood pressure. but not everyone is on board with the treatment. that's next in healthbeat four. ben: and i'll have your

very easy especially if you're entertaining people and need to make a lot of sliders. you don't have to flip every indivudual slider over. you're going to make it in the oven so it's a lot easier. to get started we're going to make our own seasoning. this is our own french onion seasoning. this is really to cut down on sodium. instead off buying our own box we're going to make our own. it's real easy. the base is these dry onions. the base is thhse dried onions they come in a container like this and you can see i used almost all of them. i think i have only seen them in a big container like this. you can find them about everywhere and use them in anything that you woulul use fresh onions. throw them in soups and chili and other things like that. that is the base of our seasoning mix. we want some onion powder, some garlic powder, and some celery salt. this is not a sodium-free seasoning. but, it does cut down on the sodium quite a bit byd% making your own. some dried parsely. if you don't have any don't really worry about it. sheila: that's the stuff you can skip. whitney: that's what i like to use to get that color. because you eat with your eyes first. i have some so i'm going to throw it in. but, if you don't have it you don't have to use it. plus, a little salt and pepper. this makes

need a couple of tablespoons for this recipe. you could make less and you could make a lot more. it will keep in your spice cabinet in a drawer. sheila: it seems like with the dried onions you don't get as bad of breath? whitney: they're not as strong so if you have someone in your family who doesn't really like onions... sheila: they might like this version. whitney:..and, you want onions in something you're cooking this is a really good alternative. we're basically going to make a meat loaf, a few tablespoons of bread crumbs, your seasoning.. and i already pressed it into my pan. and, for a one-pound version an 8 by 8 pan works really well. make sure you press along the sides because your meat is going to press down a little bit. and, for one pound like this i usually get 9 sliders. sheila: and you just cut them up in 3's. whitney: it's really easy and not messy and you have your burgers. sheila: how long do you cook it? whitney: it's 400 degrees for about 25 minutes. i topped mine with gouda cheese. i like to shred it

so you don't eat as much, but you can swap out anything that you want. they are very good and very savory. sheila: french onion sliders, very good and very easy! allright, thanks whitney. if you would like more information about centsable health topics go to our website ktiv.com and click on the newslink and you'll also find the recipe for the oven sliders." >> yesterday was day one of the iowa state volleyball tournament. bishop heelan was the first siouxland team to hit the floor in cedar rapids. and, creighton tries to stay undefeated and move into the nebraska state semifinals. highlights in the
