What are you thankful for and why?

“My family because they’re supportive of what I do.”

Elizabeth Goerner Anthony Ames Carly Lindholm Dakota Johnson Shane Kelderman

“My guy is still in the White House because he’s the best person for the job.”

“I’m thankful that I have food to eat, clothes to wear, and a warm bed to sleep in because some people are less fortunate.”

“My family because with-out their help and support, I wouldn’t be where I am.”

“I personally am thankful for Jesus because he died on the cross for me and gave me salvation.”

Boone Campus : Volume 12, Issue 7 : Nov. 21, 2012

DMACC Boone has installed several security cameras throughout the campus this semester. Locations for the video cameras include hallways, the front office, the library, the Academic Achievement Center and all major entrances.

While all the apartment buildings have had cameras in them since their construction about 12 to 13 years ago according to DMACC provost, Tom Lee, Boone campus hasn’t had security cameras installed until about a month ago.

Lee shared some insight into DMACC’s decision to set up the cameras.

“They may act as a deterrent,” said Lee.

He explained that the very presence of the cameras may

decrease already low levels of acts of violence, felonies and break ins.

DMACC’s Director of Campus Emergency and Safety Management, Ned Miller, also offered his opinion on the subject, saying, “If you look at our crime records, we haven’t had a lot, and that’s a good thing.”

Miller also said that when a crime is committed on campus, the first thing the police ask for is video footage of the act taking place, which wasn’t always available.

One more benefit of the video cameras, according to Miller, was that weather conditions could more easily be monitored by the provost. For example, if a snow storm set in, the provost could check all the parking lots at once to see how clearance was coming along on each of them without

having to leave the office, which Miller said would be especially helpful for Ankeny campus with its multiple buildings and parking lots.

Privacy was also a concern to Lee and Miller.

“I seldom check on the cameras unless I have reason to,” said Lee. The main reason Lee said that he uses the security cameras is when an incident is brought to his attention by students, faculty or staff.

Lee and Miller assured that no one keeps track of the camera footage at all times. In addition, Miller noted that the cameras were only set up in public places and not in instructors’, advisors’ or counselors’ offices, classrooms, restrooms or any other private place.

“It’s within what Iowa law would allow,” said Miller.

According to Lee, B.J. McGinn, DMACC Boone’s Housing Director, Orv Salmon, DMACC’s Athletic Director, Dean Hatch, DMACC Boone’s Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds, possibly Ron Erickson, DMACC Boone’s Network Systems Analyst and Lee himself also have access to Boone’s security cameras.

“We don’t hide them,” said Lee, explaining that the cameras are all clearly visible and that students living in the apartments are informed about the cameras during an orientation session.

For DMACC Boone, the total cost of the cameras came out at about $15,000 according to Miller. He said that each camera costs anywhere from $480 to $1,100, depending on the quality of the camera and its number of megapixels.

Watching Over YOU The Campus Café updated its menu to include flavored fries and a dollar menu among other changes.

Penny Van Schuyver, manager, said she saw a need for the changes in the Café.

Flavored fries have been added to the menu. The flavors include garlic parmesan, Italian, cinnamon, cheese, buffalo, and Mexi. The fries cost $2.50 per plate.

The dollar menu includes a hot dog, salad, mini ham or turkey sandwich, taco and two cookies.

“The dollar menu has gone over so-so,” Van Schuyver said.

An informal survey of six people conducted by the Banner News found that some students either don’t know about the dollar menu or don’t stay on campus long enough to eat there.

Ryan Gehlsen said he did not know about the dollar menu and he rarely eats at the Café.

The Café has also introduced dorm items which include laundry soap, soup, cereal, peanut butter, and jelly. In addition, they have introduced self-serve pop which has helped the Café staff and students.

Van Schuyver said they welcome student ideas, keeping in mind that the area is not a big chain and so prices will be higher.

Student Mary Rowan said, “I’m just glad that we have a café.”

Transfer fair comes to Boone

On November 14th the DMACC Boone Campus host-ed nine four-year colleges for a Transfer Fair in the Courter Cen-

ter. Students were able to inter-act with representatives from the different schools and learn more about how to transfer.

The Transfer Fair gave stu-dents a chance to learn about the application process and scholar-

ships available.“It helped me out a lot. I

was able to find out about how my credits would transfer,” said DMACC student Alex Wheeler who plans on transferring to Drake University.

CNN reporter speaks at ISU

Photo by Cainon Leeds

CNN’s chief political ana-lyst and the moderator of this election’s second presidential de-bate, Candy Crowley, spoke in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union at Iowa State University at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 13. Crowley offered insight on why Obama won the election, why Romney lost and what lies ahead for American politics.

“I wanted to kind of take a look at what happened if I can sort of based on exit polling and what we saw throughout the cam-paign,” said Crowley.

She analyzed the Obama campaign, looking at its successes and pitfalls according to the exit polls.

Obama outperformed Rom-ney when it came to female, young and latino voters. With women making up 53%, young people making up 19% and lati-nos making up 10% of the elec-torate according to exit polls, minority groups have grown in numbers since the last election.

“As it turns out, of course, young people and minorities did turn out in force,” said Crowley.

“Which candidate is in touch with people like me? Exit poll: 53% Obama, 43% Romney,” said Crowley.

“But when it got right down to it, it was ‘Okay, then who do you like? Who understands you best? Who do you feel most com-fortable with?’ and when those are the questions, it tends to favor the incumbent because people know the incumbent better,” she added.

Nevertheless, President Obama was not without his faults either.

She said that turnout was down from 2008 for Obama and Romney. Swing states, however, seemed to maintain higher turn-outs than other states.

“This is the first president to win a second term with a smaller share of the popular vote than he had in his first term, so clearly there was a discontent out there. Certainly there was reality versus the hope and change of the first term,” she said.

Crowley also went over the victories and defeats of the Rom-ney campaign.

“Clearly it was not Mitt Romney’s night,” she said, refer-ring to election night.

Crowley shared that the Romney campaign sounded ex-cited about victory, but when the polls started closing, Romney’s strategists were amazed by the results. She explained that the problem with the Romney cam-paign was that they had been us-ing the 2010 election results to guide the race.

“My pollster said that the problem here is that the people who ended up backing the presi-dent so strongly, young people and minorities, don’t tend to turn out for midterms. They do turn out for presidential elections,” said Crowley.

However, Romney’s efforts were met with success as well as failure.

“The good news for Repub-licans is that Romney won the suburbs. That is where elections are won,” said Crowley, explain-ing that Republicans tend to do better in rural areas while Demo-crats tend to do better in urban areas, and suburbs have become a battleground for both parties.

She also said that, while Romney’s economy-centered platform resonated with voters, polls showed that most voters blamed Bush, not Obama, for the current economic hard times. In turn, the Obama campaign did its best to connect Romney to Bush and succeeded in doing so.

Crowley also addressed the ‘invisible elephant’ in the room: the future of the parties. She said that, in 2004, 44% of latino vot-ers cast their ballots for President Bush, whereas 27% voted for Romney during this election.

“So these are just giant flares going up inside the Republican Party,” she said.

Crowley pointed to the polls as evidence of immigrant discon-tent with the Republican Party and her prediction of a new im-migration bill. She quoted an-other poll that stated that 59% of those polled believed that “abor-tion should be legal in all or most circumstances.”

Tax increases on the wealthy, same-sex marriage and the legal-ization of undocumented workers were also called for, according to the polls.

She quoted Matt Doud, an

advisor to George W. Bush’s cam-paign, as saying, “‘The Republi-can Party is a madman party in a modern family America.”

She said she saw disconnect between Republicans and the current demographics.

Crowley predicted a “blood-bath” within the Republican Party, saying that the Tea Party movement would clash with the center of the party sooner or later.

When it came to future 2016 presidential candidates, Crowley predicted possible runs by Vice President Joe Biden, Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Marco Rubio.

“One of the things I love about democracy is, number one, almost every election kind of makes me cry because it’s pretty amazing and, number two...a real democracy is with the loser be-cause the race is easy when you win,” Crowley said.

BALLDMACC fields winning baseball program

As the days continue their march through fall and winter heading toward spring, DMACC’s baseball program waits.

Waits for the field to turn from brown to green.

Waits for the scoreboard to light up once again.

Waits for the bats to start swinging, the balls to start flying and the gloves to start catching.

A roster of nearly 30 players and coaches all waiting for the chance to once again show the world what they’ve got.

And what they’ve got appears to be a formula for a winning pro-gram: the Bears have the “win-ningest JUCO baseball program in the country over the last five years,” according to a DMACC news release.

DMACC’s Athletic Director Orv Salmon gives the credit to an outstanding coaching staff, mo-tivated players and a supportive campus community.

“I think about an athletic program that is based on good coaches that bring in student-ath-letes who want to take advantage of the opportunity on the Boone campus in the classroom and on the floor. Our success is based on this premise starting with our coaches,” he said.

Head Baseball Coach Kyle Hanna said that DMACC has always had a strong baseball tradition since John Smith started the program and coached here for 33 years.

The school’s main goal, Han-na said, is to outwork everyone in every sport and train their players to compete at the highest level they can.

“I feel that has always been the mindset of this program and it shows not only in how many wins this programs has recorded but also in the kind of men that have come through here as well.”

Hanna is one of those men. He played baseball at

DMACC in the 2007 and 2008 seasons and was on the 2008 team when the Bears made it back to the National Junior College Ath-letic Association World Series for

By Kolby VetterContributing Writer

the first time since 1982. He was named head coach in July when then-head coach Dan Fitzgerald left the program to accept an as-sistant coaching job in Texas.

“I knew I always wanted to coach and I knew how much DMACC meant to me in my de-velopment as a player and my de-velopment as a person,” Hanna said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start. To be the head coach of a place I truly care about is extremely humbling and I’m honored to be in the posi-tion.”

Hanna was an assistant coach last year, working as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. He graduated from Simpson Col-lege, where also pitched in 2009-10 and coached in 2011.

Hanna takes the helm of a program that brings with it a 249-73 record under Fitzgerald. Over the life of the program, at least seven players at have gone on to play professionally, said Eric Ver Helst, sports information director, including Scott Schebler, Cole Nelson, Patrick Cooper, George Jensen, Mitch Moorman, Austin Urban, and Joel Hunter.

Cole Nelson, who played for DMACC in 2008-09 and now plays for the Fort Meyers Miracle, was one of the players under for-mer head coach Dan Fitzgerald to be drafted. Nelson who was a pitcher for the Bears eventu-ally went on to play for the Au-burn Tigers and was drafted in the 10th round of the 2010 draft by the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers

traded Nelson in August to the Twins where he is now a relief pitcher.

Keith Law, who is a sports writer for SB nation, put Nelson on his 30 sleepers to watch going into the 2011 season. “Big lefty Cole Nelson didn’t throw a whole lot at Auburn and wasn’t great when he did pitch, but the Tigers took a chance on his physicality and lengthened his stride to raise his release point,” Law said. Nel-son has since touched 96 mph on his pitches and hopes to someday make a name for himself in the league.

One current player who hopes to follow in the footsteps of those who have gone on to play professionally is second-year out-fielder, Cody Williams. “When I look at the seven guys that went pro I am very happy that I chose DMACC, because most of them had Coach Fitz as their coach and to be coached by someone that made players so much better and to get to the next level is what I wanted,” Williams said. “And it motivates me to work harder ev-eryday and to know that if I put in my all and have a good year, I can someday make it to that level.”

Williams, who will play cen-terfield for the Bears when the season starts in the spring, chose DMACC over other community colleges such as Iowa Central, Southeastern, NIACC, and Iowa Western.

“I chose DMACC because

simply they were one of the best and we proved that my first year at DMACC,” Williams said. Last year the Bears finished with a re-cord of 51-15, won their confer-ence, and were Junior College World Series qualifiers.

Grand Junction, Colo., is the site of the Junior College World Series and is “on par with Oma-ha,” referring to the home of the College World Series, said tour-nament director Jamie Hamilton in an article in Sporting News. Over 98 players who played in the Junior College World Series even-tually went on to play in the big leagues including these notable players with all star careers: Kirby Puckett, Curt Schilling, and Da-vid Wells, according to the article.

Williams said thinking about the seven DMACC guys who have gone pro and those who are seeing playing time on the MLB farm teams, keeps his love of the game up. One day he hopes to land a spot in the Big Leagues, ideally with his favorite team, the Chicago Cubs. Meanwhile, it’s been his dream to play division 1 baseball since he was a kid, and DMACC was a good starting point.

Williams gives all the credit to former coach Fitzgerald and new head coach Hanna.

“Dan Fitzgerald was my first year coach but he moved on be-cause he had a better opportunity that he couldn’t turn down,” Wil-liams said. “ He was a great coach and he not only made me a better baseball player but a better per-son.”

Although this is Hanna’s first year as head coach, Williams knows he’s up for the challenge. “Kyle Hanna was the assistant last year, and runs the program similar to Fitzgerald, so I know Coach will do a great job like Fitz,” Williams said.

Salmon said the coaches at DMACC do an excellent job in teaching the game but also making the athletes accountable in all aspects of their college ex-perience. He credits much of the success to the coaches who taught these young athletes many valu-able insights about not only the game but life lessons.

“I think our philosophy is sound, we have outstanding coaches that recognize that winning is important but that our athletes are being prepared to move on to the next level,” Salmon said.

Salmon’s number one goal for the student athletes is they are offered an opportunity to improve themselves both academically and athletically so they can move on to a four year school.

Salmon said that many of the athletes might come into the pro-gram feeling like they had some-thing to prove athletically: that even though they might not have been highly recruited at a four-year school, they could still make an impact. They chose DMACC to take advantage of the opportu-nity that was presented to them.

“Our facilities are fine, our baseball field ranks second to none in the conference, our gym-nasium certainly is adequate for our needs,” Salmon said, “and we are working with Boone Little League extensively in improving the facility at the softball field.”

Sports isn’t number one though. It’s to get a quality edu-cation that can be used later on in life. Salmon emphasized that there are some who thrived ath-letically but many success stories don’t involve playing time at the next level.

“There is only a small per-centage that are able to play the game for a living,” he said.

Hanna notes that there are plenty of extremely talented and gifted players out there that have dreams of playing professionally that don’t pan out. “That’s why I want guys to work their tail off ev-ery chance they have so they don’t have to ever wonder ‘what if,’” Hanna said. “ I want the guy that wants to work his tail off to make himself a better person and better player and the guy who makes ev-eryone else around them better.”

Having seven players playing play professional ball shows what kind of program DMACC has, he said.

“It means that we have a sys-tem and a process that allows guys to grow and truly get better,” he said. “We never want to handcuff guys or hold them back from their potential, so we try our best to let guys play and be who they are,” Hanna said.

Hanna works hard to get these players to the next level but said, “my number one goal as a team is to win a national cham-pionship,” and that’s exactly what they are trying to do this year.

What’s even more important, he said, is that whether you suc-ceed or fail if you give everything you have so there is nothing to regret.

“My number one goal for ev-ery individual that comes through this program is for them to under-stand the meaning of hard work and dedication.”

Cross Country team finishes 39th

The DMACC cross country team finished 39th in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division I cross county national championship November 10 at Ina, Ill.

The Bears scored 1,062 points in the competition. Iowa Central Community College (ICCC) won the team championship with 40 points and Darroneshia Lott of South Plains College (SPC) took the individual title with a time of 17 minutes, 48 seconds over the 5K course.

Freshman Alissa Van Klootwyk of Knoxville led DMACC with a 156th place finish in 21:54. Sophomore Kristin Angus of West Des Moines was 213th in 23:19 and freshman Taylor Gwiasda of Ames finished in 221st place. Her time was 23:33.

“We competed as well as we could at the national meet,” said DMACC cross country coach Jim Dose. “Alissa Van Klootwyk and Taylor Gwiasda pretty much matched the best they have run all season and Anna Fleckenstein broke 26 minutes for the first time this season. It’s great that our three freshmen finished on a high note and competed very well.”

It’s that time of year again – National Novel Writing Month! To help you get started on your next novel, poem, short story, or, heck, even your next English paper, I’ll give you a few tips on how to increase the quality of your writing while making it more pleasurable as well.

Tip number one: Write. You’d be surprised at how hard it can be to get started, but I like to use this analogy – writing is like sculpting in clay. Just as you can’t shape clay into a sculpture if you don’t have any clay, you can’t shape words into something fun to read (yes, even English papers can be fun to read) if you don’t have any words on the page. Just start writing and get the big messy blob of words on the

paper, then worry about crafting them later.

Tip number two: Relax. Writing is fun stuff ! If it helps, try writing in a different color or a different font (if you’re on one of those new-fangled personal computer thingies). Or listen to your favorite playlist. Or have a healthy snack. Do whatever calms your nerves and allows you to unleash the writing machine deep inside.

Tip number three: Try new things. I’m currently typing this piece on a MacBook Pro, but I also own two manual typewrit-ers. For a while I also had a calligraphic fountain pen (until I broke it). I can say from experi-ence that typing on a typewriter will put you in a totally differ-ent mindset than typing on a MacBook Pro – for one, you don’t have to worry about the dreaded red line under your text;

Write, just write!By Austin LeedsContributing Writer

‘Hound’ puts on a good show

This semester’s production from DMACC Boone’s drama department, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic, “The Hound of the Baskervilles,” was performed on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 9 and 10, from 7:30 to 9:00.

The curtain opened with Lady Agatha Mortimer, played by Abbey Brouwer, requesting the assistance of the clever de-tective, Sherlock Holmes, played by Sean Hanlin, and his loyal sidekick, Dr. Watson, played by Brett Edmundson. Holmes and Watson soon learned that more mystery surrounded the death of Charles Baskerville, the late owner of Baskerville Hall, than they had suspected. Mr. Basker-ville, an elderly man, died while on the moor in the middle of the night and, as revealed by Lady Agatha, the paw prints of a be-hemoth hound were found near the dead man’s body. The legend

of the hound of the Baskervilles, a gigantic beast said to haunt the moor, was explained by Holmes to Watson. In addition, Mr. Basker-ville’s nephew and inheritor of the estate, Sir Henry, played by Matt Beyer, received a letter via one of the maids, Ms. Perkins, played by Julie Nagel, telling him to leave Baskerville Hall at once.

Holmes ran down the list of motivations for murdering Sir Charles and threatening Sir Henry to leave from money and personal grudges to who was present on the night of the mur-der. Holmes and Watson learned from Lady Agatha that Charles had two brothers, Henry’s father and Rodger, who fled to South America some time ago. She also informed Holmes that Mr. and Mrs. Barrymore, played by Nick Bassett and Rachel Davis, and herself had substantial gains from Sir Charles’ will.

After a few more questions about Baskerville Hall, Holmes

took leave to London, temporari-ly leaving Watson in charge of the investigation. Before Holmes left, he made certain to warn Henry not to wonder out on the moor at night.

Watson got to work, ac-quainting himself with Henry’s charming lover, Kathy Staple-ton, played by Kodie Butter-field, and her protective brother, Jack Stapleton, played by Austin Woolson. Watson also has an encounter with the hound out on the moor and hears word of an escaped convict named Sel-don, played by Chris Shannon, who has taken refuge on the moor. During Holmes’ absence, Mr. Barrymore drew suspicions to himself: dodging questions and hiding details from Henry about being up late in the dark.

One night, Henry and Wat-son heard a dog howling outside the front door. They charged the door with a tool from the fire-place and a revolver, only to find

the typewriter isn’t going to balk at your spelling or grammar errors. And that’s good when you’re writing a draft because you don’t have to stop every time Word tells you you’re doing it wrong – you can deal with spell-ing and grammar later. Also, the sheer act of typing on a manual typewriter can help relieve your nerves and burn some calories at the same time! A calligraphic pen will make you proud of your handwriting in no time; it won’t make your handwriting instantly beautiful, but it will give you hints of your handwriting poten-tial and help you see it through to realization.

And that’s really all there is to writing. Editing is a different story, but it’s really not that diffi-cult once you have some material to work with. So go on, get out there and write!

Holmes himself at the door.“I’d appreciate it if you’d

point the revolver in another di-rection,” Holmes said to Watson.

Holmes revealed that he has been out on the moor, not in Lon-don, doing investigative work. He told Watson and Sir Henry that he had seen flashlight signals be-ing sent from Baskerville Hall, searching near the door until he found a flashlight in the desk. He then used it to signal the moor and received a return signal. Henry told Holmes that Mr. Bar-rymore had been acting strange lately and Holmes set up visits with each of the suspects.

In a round of interviews, it was discovered that Mr. and Mrs. Barrymore had been smuggling supplies to the convict, Seldon, a brother of Mrs. Barrymore’s. In addition, a letter from the night of the murder was brought to light by Mrs. Barrymore. The let-ter instructed Sir Charles to meet with the author of the letter at ten o’clock and was signed ‘L L’. In the meantime, Henry received another threatening letter, this time signed by Lady Agatha Mor-timer and Watson and Holmes discovered Seldon dressed in one of Henry’s coats, murdered and mangled by a hound.

In another hurried round of meetings, Holmes discovered Mortimer had not written the let-ter addressed to Henry and that Laura Lyons, the daughter of a neighbor of Baskerville Hall, played by Taylor Baggett, was the ‘L L’ who had sent Sir Charles the letter on the night of his death, but that she had been bribed into writing it by Mr. Stapleton.

Holmes unravelled the case, tracking the false signature of Lady Mortimer to Jack Staple-ton, and further shocking the residents of Baskerville Hall with a photograph of Jack and Kathy Stapleton and a note on the back identifying them as husband and wife, and the son and daughter-in-law of Rodger, Sir Charles’ brother.

Holmes instructed Henry,

saying, “You will go to Stapleton’s cottage, and you will enjoy your dinner,” and then Holmes him-self departed, leaving Henry all alone in the building.

Kathy entered the room and explained to Henry that she had been behind the entire scheme, using Jack as a front man. She tried forcing Henry through the front door where the dreaded hound awaited him, but a gun-shot rang through the air and Holmes stepped in through the door. The hound, part great dane and part mastiff, had been killed and Kathy was apprehended by the police.

With the case settled and Sir Henry no longer in danger, Holmes and Watson took their leaves.

“Now come Watson, the game is afoot,” Holmes said, rushing out the door.

“The man has no mercy,” Watson said, reluctantly follow-ing.

I thought both performances of “The Hound of the Basker-villes” were superb. On Friday night, there seemed to be a few stumblings and a few name mix-ups on stage, but the energy of the night was not to be beat. On Saturday night, there were few, if any, problems and a little less en-ergy onstage.

The plot was fast paced, as is the case with any Sherlock Holmes production. If I wasn’t paying close attention, I may have missed something of importance.

I think the actors fit their roles perfectly, helping each other and adapting to troubles when necessary.

Also, the fog machine, sound, lighting effects, stage design, and props brought the show over the top for both performances thanks to director, Kay Mueller, assis-tant director, Stephanie Clemons, lighting director, Alyssa Peterson, sound director Matt Lemken, hair and make-up, Nikole Glauner, general assistant, Lynette Taylor, and general assistant Jonathan Hoffman.

The cast of the ‘Hound of the Baskervilles’ from left to right: Julie Nagel, Rachel Davis, Matt Beyer, Kodie Butterfield, Austin Woolson, Brett Edmundson, Nick Bassett, Abbey Brouwer, Sean Hanlin, Taylor Baggett, and Stephanie Clemons.

Choosing healthy foods dur-ing school and exams is impor-tant when trying to do well and learn in college. Squash is just one of the many good choices to pick from, and is extremely

delicious and flavorful. There are many different types of squash, and many different ways to cook it. One can cook all squash in two basic ways: firstly, by the oven and secondly by boiling it in water. For the first option, one can either choose to cut the squash before or after cooking it in the oven, but remember to add water to the cake pan (just fill the bottom of the pan). The second option would be to cook the squash (without cutting it) in a full pot with boiling water for about 40-70 minutes (or until tender enough to put a sharp knife into the squash easily). Ei-ther way one chooses, the squash should be allowed to cool, cut in half, and the seeds should be removed. Both options provide delicious outcomes.

Baked Squash Ingredients: Any variety of squash Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2. Put the whole squash in a cake pan with water covering the bottom (poke holes throughout the squash) or cut the squash in half, take the seeds out and put both sides of squash face side down in the cake pan. 3. Allow cook for about 30-70 minutes or until squash is tender enough to put a fork through. 4. Set aside to cool. Serve warm. *

Boiled Squash Ingredients: Any variety of squash Directions: 1. Leave the squash whole and put the squash into boiling water covered. 2. Stir occasionally so the squash can cook evenly. 3. Cook for 30-40 minutes or until squash is tender enough to put a fork through.4. Set aside to cool. Serve warm. * *Lastly, either by baking or boiling the squash, one can choose from one of the following for a topping: 1) butter, salt, and pepper on the squash, 2) butter and brown sugar, or 3) honey and raisins (just some of the many options). You can also choose any top-pings you wish or you do not have to add any top-pings.
