Degree helped county recorder adjust to change Editor’s note: This is the first in a three-part series on adults who have furthered their education as nontraditional students at Southwestern Community College.

A

s Paula White sat down for her interview Wednesday at the Union County Recorder’s Office, a tech worker was replacing equipment and updating the office computers. It’s something White said she has someone do every five years.

There’s always something to keep up with, said White, who has been county recorder for 20 years and has worked in the Recorder’s Office for the past 30.

“Everything is in constant change anymore,” she said.

“You cannot get locked into doing something a certain way because it’s going to change. That’s all we can be sure of.”

This changing landscape is the reason White made a personal decision to take night classes at Southwestern Community College in 1995, her first year as county recorder. White had already accumulated years of on-thejob experience in her field: She had worked at Union County Abstract Inc. during high school and had been Union County’s deputy recorder for 10 years. But she also knew she needed to get a head start on developing trends and technology.

“I think whenever you take a college class, it expands your thoughts of different views,” she said. “It basically helps you learn to adjust to change.”

Paula White, Union County recorder, holds the plaque she received after graduating with an associate degree in business from Southwestern Community College in 2005.

White made the personal decision to take college classes in 1995 to help her adapt to the changing world of business and technology.

White started with classes she knew would be useful, like accounting, business law and writing. Not intending to earn a degree, she would usually take one course per semester. But as time elapsed, she set a new goal.

“At first it was like, ‘I’m just going to take a few classes I think I need,’” she said.

“As I started getting the credits, it’s like, ‘Well you know, I could actually have enough to get the two-year degree.’ And I really wanted to do that, so I just kept pushing.”

Ten years after beginning,

White walked across the stage to receive her associate degree in business. It was the same year her daughter, Stacy Bowers (now Henryson), who had been 12 when White started college, graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a major in economics.

The plaque White received, complete with a photo of her dressed in graduation attire, now hangs in her office.

The trend

In the 1990s, several adults like White were going back to school. A 2002 report on

adult learning from the National Association for Education Statistics states there was “increasing interest ... in adults’ participation in learning activities” during the decade and attributes the growth to factors like technology and increased skill requirements for employees.

According to the report, the number of adults enrolled in postsecondary education increased 171 percent between 1970 and 1991.

The number of adults enrolling in college remains significant today. However, it has been decreasing in recent years.

Bill Taylor, vice president of instruction at SWCC, said the number of SWCC stu- Taylor dents over age 25 has been dropping since 2011, when the percentage was 25.5 percent. During the fall 2014 semester, that number was 17.5 percent. For Iowa community colleges, it was 29 percent. Nationwide, it was 40 percent.

Taylor attributed the lower percentages at SWCC and Iowa in part to an improving economy, as well as the number of students who are dual-enrolling.

“Iowa’s got a pretty strong economy right now,” he said, “so most of our nontraditional students have jobs.”

Despite the decreases, adult learners still constitute more than one-sixth of SWCC’s enrollment. To accommodate their schedules, Taylor said SWCC offers several hybrid courses, Please see EDUCATION, Page 2A

Another major earthquake shakes Nepal, killing 42+ KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — A major earthquake hit a remote mountain region of Nepal on Tuesday, killing at least 42 people, triggering landslides and toppling buildings less than three weeks after the Himalayan nation was ravaged by its worst quake in decades.

The magnitude-7.3 quake hit hardest in districts northeast of the capital and terrified a nation already shell-shocked and struggling after a more

powerful quake on April 25 killed more than 8,150 and flattened entire villages, leaving hundreds of thousands homeless.

Information was slow to reach Kathmandu after Tuesday’s quake, but officials and aid workers said they expected the death toll to rise. Within a few hours, the Home Ministry confirmed that at least 42 people had been killed and at least 1,117 injured.

Meanwhile, it said rescuers had managed to pull

Robert Donald Rectenbaugh, son of Fairy Ona Perkins and Albert Wilbur Rectenbaugh, was born Dec.

31, 1927, in Nevinville.

Robert was educated at Richland Schools, then enlisted in the United States Navy in 1945.

On May 6, 1948, Robert married Dorothy Margaret Craft in Lorimor.

Robert farmed in Orient for three years then was sent to Korea, returning to Norfolk, Va., where he was an instructor at the business school. After retiring following 24 years in the Navy, Robert continued to serve his country by working as a civil servant for 20 years at the Navy Public Works Center in Norfolk.

In 1991, they relocated to Creston, where they currently reside.

Robert was a member of the First United Methodist Church, Masonic Lodge for more than 50 years, as well as the VFW and American Legion. He was also involved with the Fleet Reserve Association.

ing to come into her first class in 20 years and sit with younger students.

“I walked in and sat down and this young person had a can of pop on their desk, and I thought, he’s going to be in trouble,” she said. “It’s just a whole different environment in college. Plus, things had changed a lot in 20 years.”

However, she was also surprised at how quickly things returned to memory, even the algebra and trigonometry.

White’s advice to other adults: Follow your interests.

“Just start out with something you’re interested in,” she said. “You need a plan maybe of what your ultimate goal is, but start out and say, ‘Well if I can do one class and get through that, I’m really interested in that,’ and then move on to the next class. Before long it really is something you enjoy.”

Other services that can help adults are writing labs, tutoring, a success center and the Pathways for Academic and Career Employment program (PACE), which provides transportation, child care and other services to help nontraditional students overcome barriers to education.

For White, one of the most helpful aids was having an adviser to coach her through her 10 years of education. She also took some online classes when they were first beginning, which fit into her schedule.

As someone who had graduated from high school in 1975, she said it was interest-

Shallow earthquakes tend to cause more damage.

The Tuesday quake was followed closely by at least eight strong aftershocks, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Budget negotiations continue in Iowa Legislature DES MOINES (AP) — Budget haggling continued in the Iowa Legislature Monday, as lawmakers seek a compromise financial deal for the next fiscal year.

Leaders in the Republican-led House and Democratic-majority Senate were working to resolve their differences.

The two sides must agree on an overall spending level and how much new money to provide for K-12 education.

A compromise could include an increase in basic

Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, a Council Bluffs Democrat, says he would “love to get done” with the budget this week, which would mean they could adjourn.

But he cautioned that might not be possible. He said the education compromise was a concept that had been “discussed on both sides with some interest.”

Legislators must resolve the budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1 be-

OPINION The incredible journey of a paperboy

Almost everybody I’ve ever known in the newspaper business threatens at some point to write a book. Few do.

I guess it’s realizing that you spit out enough words in daily increments to complete “War and Peace” 50 times that makes you think writing a book would be a piece of cake. And, yes, make that a best seller while we’re at it.

Only trouble is, most of us old reporters use up our best ideas and creative juices while feeding the monster called Deadline.

Vince Vawter, Memphis native and former publisher of the Evansville Courier & Press in Indiana, is an exception. A rare one. He finished up 40 years in newspapers and retired to his farm in Louisville, Tenn. Then, oh, by the way, he wrote a classic.

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

“I thought I would be bumping around on my gullies and ravines on a tractor in retirement,” he says.

Instead, he’s written a partly autobiographical coming-of-age novel called “Paperboy” that has precipitated visits or video chats with 125 schools. Already it’s won the Newbery Award for juvenile fiction. And now John Norris and Tate Taylor, the duo responsible for bringing “The Help” to the screen, are in the process of obtaining screen options. They plan on filming “Paperboy” in Mississippi.

I’ll admit to letting the book get

lost under my desk avalanche for two years. When I was reminded of it recently, I read it in a day. It has a wonderful James M. Cain-style opening — “I’m typing about the stabbing for a good reason. I can’t talk.” — which means you simply have to keep reading.

The story is about an 11-year-old Memphis boy who stutters. “The funny way I talk is not so much like fat pigs in cartoons as I just get stuck on a sound and try to push the word out ...”

Stuttering is something you don’t think much about unless you are one of the 3 million Americans or 68 million people worldwide who struggle with speech impediments.

And because much of the story is true — Vince has been stuttering since age 5 — the substitute paperboy who can’t pronounce his own

name becomes as real and sympathetic a character as I’ve ever encountered in a book. To borrow from a politician, you feel his pain.

It’s been an amazing journey for Vince Vawter. Response has overwhelmed him. “My most memorable video chat was with the International School of Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia,” he says. “I was freezing in 40-degree (East Tennessee) weather, and the kids in Mongolia said they had just come in from playing soccer where it was minus 15. I sent them a vinyl ‘Paperboy’ book bag, and they sent me a Mongolian cashmere scarf. How embarrassing.”

The book deals with the serious topics of stuttering and segregation, but it is not preachy or heavy-handed. Its villains and heroes are believable, and subtle hu-

mor is part of the story. The premise is simple, old-fashioned. It’s all heart, not vampires. Baseball, not quidditch. Hallelujah.

“I never expected any of this, but it has all been a joy,” the author says. “You know how newsrooms are, God love us. Cynical.

Sarcastic. Curmudgeonly. This 68-year-old newspaper hack has found new life with my ‘Paperboy’ friends. On my route, everyone is paid up in full.” *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ... And Warmed Our Cold, Cold Hearts.” Comments are welcomed at rhetagrimsley@aol.com.

NFL investigators asked Tom Brady to hand over his smart phone HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Justin Bieber was touted as a potential pro boxer by his pal Floyd Mayweather Tuesday. It topped off a year in which JB car-raced drunk, smoked pot on a plane, told racist jokes and egged a house. Last night, Justin Bieber’s mother tweeted she’d like to have another child, unless her demands are met.

Bruce Jenner will be starring in his own reality show on E! Entertainment in July that will cover in detail the changes Bruce undergoes as he transitions into a being woman. The process includes taking feminizing hormones which shrink his testicles. The technical advisor on the show is Tom Brady.

e-mails. He’d better delete them if he ever wants to be president.

Bill Cosby’s formerly squeakyclean image took another hit Friday when a judge scheduled a defamation suit brought by one of his drug-rape accusers. Psychiatrists are riveted to the story. If all the charges against Bill Cosby are true, then he is the biggest sociopath in Hollywood, and that’s saying something.

Texas ministers Sunday ripped the Pentagon for sending U.S. Special Forces into Texas to stage war games, saying it looks like occupation. It’s a state where religion plays a big part in politics. In Texas you really do get the feeling that Jesus is all around you, mainly due to the poor border control.

ENTERTAINMENT Tag — lint is out!

Dear Heloise: I recently was on a business trip. While getting dressed, I realized there was LINT ALL OVER MY PANTS. I hadn’t packed a lint roller.

Looking around, I spied the luggage tag from the airline on my bag. The luggage tag is one big sticker! I peeled apart the sticker and used that to remove the lint. Voila! Lint-free pants from something that would have gone straight in the trash. — Germaine S., Alexandria, Va. You are right — the sticky airline tag is perfect as a lint remover! I’ve even used one to tape around a plastic bag I used to carry beautiful flowers home in. — Heloise TOTE PILLOW Dear Heloise: I enjoy your column in the Ventura County (Calif.) Star. My husband and I are avid moviegoers. Recently, our neighborhood theater upgraded its seats to the soft and squishy recliners with footrests and a tray table. This is wonderful for my husband — he loves it! For me, however, the seats are too large, my feet don’t hit the floor, and I have to scoot up to reach the tray table.

I decided to bring a pillow for my back to be more comfortable in the new seats. I

It works great, and I also can carry all the popcorn and other goodies easily. I keep it in the car for convenience. — Ida in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

Ida, love your “I ... dea ...

I bet if we took 100 random people and filled the theater, there would be less than 25-30 percent who fit comfortably!

— Heloise SAFE AND SOUND Dear Heloise: My husband likes to feed the squirrels. The feeder is on a tree about 10 feet from the house. He is not steady on his feet. If he would fall, I may not see him, and he has trouble getting up by himself.

I told him to take the car keys, and if he were to fall,

I thought this hint may be of help to other people. I read your column in The Repository in Canton, Ohio. — Mary Hoover, via email Good advice, and thanks for writing. — Heloise STAY PUT Dear Heloise: My grocery-shopping list would always blow out of the shopping cart. Now I use a wooden clothespin to clip it to the top of my cart so that it doesn’t blow away or fall into the cart.

Ranked Trojans halt Spartans’ tourney run NIACC wins 5th straight elimination game for region crown

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

WATERLOO — North Iowa Area Community College stole the spotlight with its own fairy-tale run to a regional baseball championship here Monday at windswept Riverfront Stadium.

Sixth-seeded Southwestern had started the tournament with three straight upset victories to sit in the driver’s seat as the double-elimination tournament’s lone unbeaten team when the final round was postponed Sunday afternoon by rain.

The Spartans needed just one victory in two chances against the second-seeded NIACC team that had to fight back through the consolation bracket after falling to the Spartans Friday, 8-4.

Action resumed Monday at noon, with a second “winner take all” game scheduled immediately afterward if SWCC suffered its first loss.

After averaging 7.6 runs per game while upsetting three higher-seeded teams, the Spartans managed just seven runs total in two games Monday. Hopes for the college’s first baseball regional championship were

Southwestern left fielder Jason Roberts connects with a pitch in Monday’s second game. Roberts also pitched for the Spartans in the tournament, saving two of the team’s three victories.

dashed by NIACC’s two victories, 12-7 and 7-0.

By winning five straight elimination games, the 12th-ranked Trojans (4613) are Region XI Division II champions for the second time in three years.

NIACC will play at Southeast Nebraska Community College (Beatrice, Neb.) at 1 p.m. Saturday in the Northern Plains District Championship. The winner of that series will advance to the NJCAA Division II World Series.

That was the dream Southwestern was building in the incredible run to the finals, knocking off third-seeded and 13thranked Southeastern 9-8, NIACC and top-seeded Iowa Central, 6-2, before falling twice Monday.

“It was a great tournament for us,” first-year SWCC coach Pedro Hernandez said. “The guys battled really hard for those first three wins.

I d o n ’ t k n o w , maybe that delay Hernandez with the weather hurt us. The bats were not as crisp today. NIACC had a good team and beat us fair and square. Our guys battled hard and we had our opportunities.”

nine lives in this tournament after losing to SWCC on Friday. The Trojans trailed 9-1 in the sixth inning of an elimination game against Ellsworth on Saturday, before rallying to win 15-9.

They were down to their last strike against Iowa Central on Sunday before winning 9-6.

No late heroics were needed Monday after taking control midway through the opening game.

Southwestern (17-35) was leading 2-1 after four innings with Zach Maskill earning the start on the mound on a

cool (47 degrees) and breezy day with the wind blowing straight out to center field.

Trojan outburst A seven-run NIACC fifth inning changed the tone of that game in a hurry, and most of the damage came after a two-out error.

“After they scored one run, they had runners on second and third with two outs and there was a ground ball to second,” Hernandez said. “We had a throwing error, and after that they scored six more runs.”

Southwestern battled back into contention, how-

ever, by scoring two runs each in the fifth and sixth innings to face a 10-6 deficit with three innings to play.

Included in the rally was a solo home run to left by designated hitter Matt Mayden.

A diving catch by NIACC right fielder Troy Bullingham left two more potential runs on base to end the Spartan sixth inning.

In the eighth, with the margin shaved to 10-7, Southwestern had the bases loaded with two outs Please see SPARTANS, Page 7A

Panther golfers sweep H-10 titles Panther boys sixth at H-10 tennis

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

The Creston/O-M golf teams reign supreme in the Hawkeye 10 Conference.

The Panthers pulled off the Hawkeye 10 Conference sweep Monday, with the boys winning their fourth straight conference title at Fox Run Golf Club in Council Bluffs and the girls winning by one stroke over defending Class 3A state champion Atlantic in Glenwood.

Not even the cold, windy conditions could slow down the Panther golfers.

“Good or bad weather doesn’t matter,” Creston/O-M junior Madison Hance said. “Everyone is given the same conditions and today we didn’t let that get in our way.”

Four straight In Council Bluffs, the Panther boys handled the weather and the pressure well.

“The guys battled today,” Creston/O-M assistant coach Ryan McKim said. “It was 44 degrees and windy when we teed off this morning. Those are not exactly fun playing conditions.”

The Panthers put three in the top 12 individually to post a team score of 317 — 12 strokes ahead of runner-up Denison-Schleswig.

Four teams were within six strokes of Denison-Schleswig.

The win marked the Panthers’ fourth straight conference championship.

Seniors Christian Groumoutis and Sam Hartsock e a c h earned all-conference honors by placing in the top 12.

It marks the third Groumoutis straight

all-conference award for Hartsock and second for Groumoutis.

But it was sophomore K y l e Somers who posted the low score of the day for the Panthers, s h o o t i n g Somers 38 on the front nine and 36 on the back nine for an 18-hole score of 74, just one stroke behind Denison-Schleswig’s Hunter Williams for medalist honors.

“Kyle played outstanding today,” McKim said. “He barely missed putts on the final two holes to give him a chance at individual medalist honors.”

Groumoutis and Hartsock each recorded rounds of 79. Senior Coleton Hoepker rounded out the team scor- Hartsock ing with his round of 85.

“These seniors have a lot to be proud of,” McKim said. “These guys have won conference four years in a row — every year of their careers. That’s pretty impressive.”

The Panther boys open sectional play 9 a.m. Friday at Atlantic Golf and Country Club.

Close win Meanwhile, at Glenwood Golf and Country Club, the Panther girls found themselves in a close battle with defending Class 3A state champion Atlantic.

Through the first nine holes, Creston/O-M held a two-stroke lead over Atlantic.

By the time play had concluded for the day, that lead

had been shaved to one, as the Panthers posted a 371372 win over the Trojans.

Kuemper Catholic finished just seven strokes back of the Panthers.

Atlantic had the two lowest scores of the day, as Brooke Newell shot an 83 and Erin Olsen shot an 88.

But the Panthers had all four scoring members of the team finish in the top 10 individually. The Panthers had a spread of just four strokes among the four scoring members.

Hance led the Panthers with her fourthp l a c e round of 91. Freshman Ashton Carter finished fifth with a Hance 92. Junior Camryn Somers shot a 93 for sixth place and freshman Sophia Groumoutis carded a 95 for 10th place.

“What I need to say about these girls is ‘amazing,’” Creston/O-M head coach Jan Lesan said. “They don’t complain. They enjoy meeting people and eating. In between, they go out and play golf, one shot at a time, one hole at a time. The end will take care of itself.

“When they find out about winning, they do their silent cheer, smile and get ready to go eat. They do not let much bother them.”

Somers said the team accomplished one of its goals Monday.

“With the weather conditions, we all played solid rounds,” she said. “Winning the conference title was our first goal — qualifying for state is our next. One down, one to go.”

The Panther girls return to action May 26 for regional play in Newton.

COUNCIL BLUFFS — The Creston/O-M boys tennis team finished eighth in a tight race in the middle of the pack here Monday at the Hawkeye 10 Conference Tournament.

Denison-Schleswig won the team title with 23 points, ahead of runner-up Lewis Central’s 18. Clarinda finished third with 17 points. Council Bluffs St. Albert was fourth with 16 points, followed by a tie for fifth place among Glenwood and Shenandoah at 15 points. Atlantic edged Creston/O-M by one point for seventh place with 13.

The freshman doubles team of Jacob Cook and Jaden Driskell finished third at No. 2 doubles after entering the t o u r n a - Cook ment as the two seed.

“Today was a great day for Jacob and Jaden, getting third place in their first ever Hawkeye 10,” head coach Kevin Cooper said.

“They got the two seed in the tournament and won their first round. They did lose to the 3-seed in round two, which was a tough loss for them.”

Cook and Driskell bounced back to beat the team of Shenand o a h juniors Devon A s h e n - Driskell felter and Garrett Clark 8-2 in the third-place match.

“For two freshmen to

come into their first conference tournament, get seeded and end up in third place, that is so great!”

Cooper said. “They play so well together and are really headed in an awesome direction for years to come.”

No. 1 singles player Ryan Kucera finished fourth in his first conference tournament playing No. 1 singles.

Kucera won his first match against Harlan’s Isaac Stitz before losing to eventual champion Travis Miller of Council Bluffs St. Albert. The Panther junior then lost the thirdplace match 8-6 to Denison-Schleswig’s Matt Moran.

“Ryan came very close to winning his third match, but was just unable to take advantage of some late opportunities in the match,” Cooper said. “He has improved so much in a year’s time and is going in a great direction.”

Junior Sam Eagan, also playing in his first conference tournament, finished eighth at No. 2 singles.

After losing his first match 8-0, Eagan won his second match 8-3 over Kuemper’s Reed Rollins to stay in the hunt for placing.

“He probably would have been with us last year, but he went through an injury,” Cooper said. “For him to come back a year later and compete the way he did, it was fun to see.

He has improved so much since the beginning of the season.”

The No. 1 doubles team of Triston Davidson and Seth Maitlen went 0-2 for the day with losses of 8-4 and 8-3.

“Today did not go the way Triston and Seth wanted it to,” Cooper said.

“They very easily could have won their first match, they just let it slip away with a few consistency issues.”

The Panthers return to

action today against Boone, with the girls playing at home at 4:15 p.m. on senior night. The boys travel to Boone, with action starting at 4:15 p.m.

SPARTANS: Continued from Page 6A

when former Atlantic player Chad Christensen struck out Mayden on a curveball to end the inning. Christensen garnered his sixth save of the season in finishing the game.

NIACC’s normal closer, Riley Pollard, was suspended four games after being ejected in the first matchup with Southwestern on Friday.

Sub starter Pollard would have normally been the starter for the winner-take-all game, but with the suspension in effect, the start went to seldom-used Tony Grabowske. He had made only two starts all season, and hadn’t thrown more than one inning in an outing since April 29. His ERA entering the day was 7.79.

All he did Monday was come out and throw seven shutout innings in a matchup with Spartan ace Ethan Westphal.

It was a close 2-0 battle through Westphal’s first six frames on the mound, and Southwestern was on the

CHAMPS: Continued from page 6A

doorstep of an offensive breakthrough in the bottom of the sixth.

Scoring chance Samuel Vega singled and Jason Roberts reached on a fielder’s choice. Mayden and Erich Gonzales drew walks, putting the go-ahead run on base. Grabowske then enticed a popup to third with two outs, leaving three runners stranded and keeping the shutout intact.

Things unraveled for Westphal in the top of the seventh. Zach Fricke was issued an intentional walk to load the bases with one out. Former West Fork prep Spencer Halloran delivered a two-run single. Juan De La Cruz followed with a two-run single to push the lead to 6-0.

After 117 pitches on three days rest — including a 26-pitch first inning when NIACC scored one run — Westphal was relieved by game two winner John Bisignano. He was able to escape the jam with a double play grounder to Vega at short. But, the damage was done.

SWCC designated hitter Matt Mayden is congratulated by teammates after hitting a home run during the first game Monday. The fifth-inning blast cut NIACC’s lead to 8-4, but the Trojans went on to win, 12-7.

Sophomore Ethan Westphal delivers a pitch against NIACC in Monday’s second game. Westphal fanned six batters, walked three and allowed 10 hits in taking the loss, going 6 1/3 innings in his final appearance for the Spartans.

SWCC again loaded the bases in the eighth but was unable to convert with one out, as NIACC reliever Quinn Ahern ended the threat with a strikeout and infield popup.

“We didn’t come through with the hits we were getting earlier in the tournament,” Hernandez said. “It was hard, what we were asking Ethan to do, coming off three days rest. He gave us an opportunity. I felt at times our guys were trying to do too much in situations at the plate, instead of taking what they were giving us and chipping away. Maybe they were feeling the pressure, seeing themselves down late in the game.”

After making only three fielding errors in the first three games, SWCC had three fielding miscues in Monday’s opener, and one error in the second game.

NIACC had only two errors for the day, and Trojan pitchers allowed only six hits in the second game.

The Spartans had 11 runners left on base in the opener and 10 in the second game.

JM Welding, LLC

Overview Overall, Hernandez said the tournament run was a positive development for the program, even though Monday’s defeats stung after being so close to a championship.

“The guys started to believe in themselves,” he said. “We started that with the (regular season finale) Ellsworth series. Even coming into today, the guys thought they were going to seal the deal. I have some sophomores hurting, because this might be their last opportunity. To finish second, it hurts now. We were right there.

“But, at the same time, there were six more teams that were eliminated who wished they had the opportunity that we had today.”

RACING Update

Night 3: All about the fans at ACS

By TREVOR MAEDER Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING — Week No. 3 of the 2015 Adams County Speedway season was all about the fans.

Fans were given free admission into Saturday night’s event sponsored by KSIB Radio.

ProTech Electric Services of Omaha turned back the clock on Saturday night bringing the Old Time Coupes back to Adams County Speedway courtesy of The Good Ol’ Times Racing Association.

Lonnie Farley picked up the victory in Coupe feature number one. Kevin Anderson would secure the victory in feature number two courtesy of a last-lap pass.

Experienced rookie wins Craig Garner may be a rookie to the Stalker Chevrolet B-Mods, but he’s no rookie to Adams County Speedway, having ran several years in other classes. Garner picked up his first win in the B-Mod Class Saturday night in a caution- filled feature.

Garner started the race in second place and battled pole sitter Shawn Kralik for first place following a couple of early-race cautions. Garner was eventually able to overpower Kralik, but then had to hold off the charging cars of

Austin Kaplan, Ryan Jenkins and Jerod Weston.

Another late-race caution occurred, prompting Race Director Mark Wyman to declare that the next yellow flag would end the race. Garner got a great restart before Dan Drury spun out to end the race. Austin Kaplan picked up his second consecutive runner-up finish. Ryan Jenkins came home in third followed by Jerod Weston and Josh Most rounding out the top five.

Most currently leads in the points standings with 120 followed by Jenkins (110), Weston (102), Bryce Allen (100) and Josh Sink (92).

Legend gets his first win Ten-time track champion Greg Miller gave his campaign for an 11th title some momentum with the win in The Northland Oil Pro Stock feature on Saturday night.

Miller started the race in sixth place, but was able to quickly and methodically work his way up to second place behind outside pole sitter Cody Clark.

Clark was leading with less than eight laps to go when overheating became an issue.

Clark was forced to emergency pit stop, surrendering the lead to Miller.

Miller had to hold off a late-race challenge from Clay

Derry is currently the points leader with 62 followed

by Miller (56), Mercer (54), Sharp (48) and Jerry Pritchett (40).

Hampel controls the field One thing was clear in the early stages of the Coors Light Late Model Feature — John Hampel was going to set the pace.

Hampel battled with Sterling Perkins on the initial restart before being able to take control of the lead. He never looked back on his way to the

STALKER CHEVROLET B MODS

211 Highway 169 • Redding, IA

Auten (86), McAtee (78), Purdy (72) and Sutter (72).

Plowman’s first win Jon Plowman won two consecutive Stalker Chevrolet B-Mod track titles before making the switch to the Poet Bio-Refining Modified class.

Plowman proved on Saturday night the transition has been rather smooth.

Plowman started on the front row and stayed there for the rest of the race, battling with Brad Bergren for the lead before distancing himself from the pack on his way to collecting his first feature win in the A-Mod class.

Bergren came home in the runner-up spot. Jesse Sobbing made his return to ACS with a third-place finish. Last week’s feature winner Jesse Dennis finished in fourth, followed by Clint Homan in fifth.

Dennis, the defending track champion, sits on top of the points leaderboard with 62. Jeff Wiggins is in second with 58, followed by Homan (52), Bergren (50) and Brian Foote (48).

This week at ACS This week at ACS brings us “Halloween in May,” as Iowa State Savings Bank brings wear your favorite costume, featuring a candy drop for the kids. Hot laps will start at 6:30 p.m. Heat races will begin at approximately 7:00 p.m.

currently holds the tiebreaker over Wyman based on number of wins.

Last-lap pass for victory This week’s Chat Mobility Hobby Stock feature was similar to last week’s, in that it saw Luke Ramsey and Jeremy Purdy battle.

But this week it had a much different outcome.

Last week Purdy and Ramsey were battling hard for second and third place before they collected each other in an accident. This week, the two Bedford natives were the cream of the Hobby Stock crop, leading the field throughout the race.

Ramsey led the majority of the race, with Purdy lurking close behind. Purdy began to make his move as the laps wound down. When the white flag dropped, it was evident the fans were in for treat, as Purdy and Ramsey battled side by side on the final lap before Purdy was able to just edge Ramsey at the line, collecting his first win of the season.

Last week’s winner Andy Davison finished third, followed by Kurt Hansen and Ryan Sutter. Matt McAtee, the points leader coming into the race, suffered a flat tire and finished in 16th.

Davison is the points leader with 96, followed by Jeremy
