Filing period opens for Creston City Council Mayor Warren Woods will seek re-election; Nancy Loudon stepping down after four years on council. Filing period ends Sept. 17.

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

Monday was the first day to file nomination papers with Union County Auditor’s office to run for open city council seats in Creston, Afton, Arispe, Lorimor and Thayer.

There are five open seats in Creston: mayor and ward 2, ward 3, ward 4 and at-large on the Creston City Council. Those seats are currently held by Warren Woods and Rich Madison, Dr. Gabe Carroll, Marsha Wilson and Nancy Loudon, respectively.

Loudon has been a councilwoman in Creston for four years. She

confirmed Monday that she won’t be running for re-election.

“I’ve had a positive experience, but it’s time for someone else to step up,” Loudon said. “I’ve gained a lot of knowledge of Loudon city government.

It’s been a humbling experience.

It certainly took up more of my

time than I thought it would, but council members have a responsibility to look at everything in front of them, do their homework, ask questions and be readily available to the public.”

Loudon was the council representative on Creston Library and Prairie Solid Waste boards. She added she hopes the city will transition to curbside recycling in the future and that the community and city officials get behind the proposed library expansion.

Loudon thanked Woods, City Manager Mike Taylor, City Clerk Lisa Williamson and all city department heads for their availability and timeliness of providing information needed while she was on the council.

Loudon said her future plans include spending more time with her husband Tim and son Eli, an eighth-grader at Creston Schools.

She also will look into becoming a Hospice volunteer and possibly get back into the real estate business again.

Running again

Madison said Monday he is currently in the process of gathering the 25 signatures needed and does

plan to run for ward 2 representative. Council members Carroll and Wilson also plan to run in their ward.

Mayor Woods said Monday he Woods will seek re-election with his focus in the next term being improving city streets and finalizing unfinished housing projects while still keeping city taxes low. He’s been mayor of Creston for the past eight years.

Harrison from ‘Pawn Stars’ visits Winterset Saturday WINTERSET—This Saturday, Winterset will get a little taste of Las Vegas when Rick Harrison, the star of the History Channel’s hit TV Show “Pawn Stars,” makes a visit to the Northside Cafe from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The cafe is located at 61 E. Jefferson St. in Winterset.

Harrison, a renowned history buff, should find himself at home in the historic cafe, but the business at hand on this visit will not be his usual appraising of antiques and relics.

The focus of this trip will be something else the Northside Cafe is no stranger to—presidential politics.

Harrison has endorsed Republican Senator Marco Rubio for president, and will be on a two-day swing through Iowa to both tell his story as a small business owner, and to discuss why he believes Senator Rubio is the right choice for President.

“Pawn Stars” first aired on The History Channel in 2009 and went on to become its highest rated show. Attendees

Deaths Grace Spindler Creston

Grace Spindler, 95, of Creston, formerly of Benton, Ark., died at Greater Regional Hospice Home on August 24, 2015.

M e - Spindler morial service will at 10:30 a.m.

Thursday at Crest Baptist Church in Creston with visitation from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. Pastor Chuck Spindler will officiate. Burial will be at Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis, Tenn. Memorials can be given to Crest Baptist Church or HCI Greater Regional Hospice Home of Creston. Online condolences can be given at www. powersfh.com.

Grace Ila Spindler, daughter of Alice Sophia (Payne) Brant and Herbert Wiley Brant, was born April 19, 1920, in Dunkerton, Iowa. Grace graduated from Oelwein High School in 1937. She attended Stephens College in Columbia, Mo., and then transferred to Grinnell College, graduating with a B.A. in music education. Prior to marriage, she taught music for two years at Seymour (Iowa) High School. It was there she met her future husband, who was also a teacher.

On June 26, 1943 Grace was united in marriage to Charles Robert Spindler in Kirksville, Mo. They lived in Vero Beach, Fla., where Charlie trained as a Navy pilot and then settled in the Galveston, Texas area, where he served as a flight instructor for the duration of WWII. After the war they lived in St Louis and Marshall, Mo., but spent the majority of their married life in Tennessee. In Memphis, Grace was a homemaker, but continued her teaching of music, giving both private voice and piano lessons. She also

was a volunteer pianist, organist and vocalist in each church in which she was a member. After three of her five children were grown, she began working at the Memphis State University Music Department Library, while taking master’s level classes in library science.

She was also employed by the Memphis Public Library. After her husband’s retirement from Memphis State University, the couple settled on Kentucky Lake in rural Paris, Tenn. in 1984 and later moved to Benton, Ark. in 1995. A year after Charlie’s death, Grace moved to Creston in November of 2006, living at Crest Ridge Estates the majority of that time and continuing her love for books by coordinating the library there.

Grace’s commitment to Christ has been evident in her love of His church throughout her life. She demonstrated her love for Jesus Christ through her own personal Bible study and her love for His church by leading small group Bible studies, continuing this activity of leadership even into her nineties. Of those churches in which she grew spiritually as an adult and served faithfully were: Cherokee Baptist Church in Memphis, Tenn.; New Harmony, Paris, Tenn.; First Baptist Church in Benton, Ark.; and Crest Baptist in Creston.

Grace is survived by her four daughters: Karen (Don) Wade of Richmond, Va., Valerie (Harry) Thomas of Foley, Ala., Linda Spindler (Marvin Leibovich) of Benton, Ark., and Mary (Denny) Smith of Lynn Haven, Fla.; a son: Chuck (Myra) Spindler of Creston; 16 grand-children and 32 great-grandchildren.

Grace was preceded in death by her parents; husband Charlie, on Oct. 20, 2005; a granddaughter, Amy Thomas; a great-grandson, Silas Jones, four brothers: Morris, Russell, Randall and Gordon Brant; and two sisters: Naomi Brant and Lucille Hall.

She loved sharing her life, full of excitement, stories and beauty, with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who knew she loved them with very few words.

Iowa board gets 3,700 objections on proposed oil pipeline DES MOINES (AP) — Among the top concerns about a proposed oil pipeline across Iowa is whether a private company should be able to access private land for its construction, according to a state board that says it’s received roughly 3,700 objections to the project.

The Iowa Utilities Board said in a report filed Friday that the objections started coming in electronically shortly after plans for the pipeline became public in November. The total in-

cludes submissions through the end of July, though the board is still accepting them.

Among the top objections, the board said, was the request for eminent domain rights by Dakota Access LLC. That would allow the company to use private land for the pipeline’s construction despite opposition from landowners.

Critics argue that such access should be limited to public utilities that serve a public purpose.

The pipeline would trans-

port crude oil daily from North Dakota through South Dakota and Iowa to a distribution center in Illinois. The Iowa Utilities Board is expected to rule on the pipeline’s future before the end of the year.

Vicki Granado, a spokeswoman for Dakota Access, did not immediately return a message Monday.

But she said earlier this month that the company is in discussions with landowners over voluntary easements. She also said great-

er access to domestically produced crude oil benefits all Americans regardless of where they live.

“We demand, and deliver, a safe workplace. We are committed to operating with minimal disruption ... to landowners. And most importantly, we want this project done right, because we live here too,” read one letter of support that the board said was signed by a member of an Iowa local of Laborers’ International Union of North America.

she plans to phone her broker to check on her portfolio. But she said her investments are more conservative now, since she’s older, “so hopefully it’s not too bad.”

The biggest impact will be on how long she continues to work as a paralegal.

“Do I work another year? Another two years, if I can?” she said. “Do I just have faith? In the past, (the market has) come back and balanced pretty well. I have to hope for that.”

In St. Louis, Shannon Miller refused to check her 401(k) plan Monday, just to stop herself from having a knee-jerk reaction to the stock plunge.

“I did, however, lose a few hundred of my ‘Monopoly money’ trying to play the stocks short-term for say, vacation or a roof repair,” said Miller, a digital content manager. “But I’m 27 and have a while to right the ship.”

John Cosgrove, 30, of Raleigh, North Carolina, said he moved his 401(k) savings to cash in July, anticipating the possibility that he might be buying a house.

“I moved it to cash knowing that that value will stay the same so that I can continue on my house hunt,” said Cosgrove, a software application engineer. “I’m glad I’m on the sideline now.”

Cosgrove said his shopping routine and other daily spending decisions won’t be affected by the stock mar-

ket. He said he still has room to budget.

Instead of reaching for antacid, Frank Bowles, a 71-year-old Missouri retiree, plans to maintain his investment portfolio and even seek bargain-priced stocks.

“My broker has called me a couple of times (in recent days) and sent me a big old email about what not to do, like not to be fearful,” said Bowles, who formerly owned a company that specialized in invoices and other business forms. “I kind of already knew that.”

“If it goes down too far, we’ll just buy something” that becomes alluringly discounted, he said.

Others said they were grateful for the sell-off because it might delay plans by the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates.

The Fed has kept its benchmark short-term rate at a record low near zero since late 2008. But before the recent stock market downturn, solid job growth had led Chair Janet Yellen to say the Fed would likely raise that rate later this year, potentially as early as September. A Fed rate hike could lead eventually to higher U.S. Treasury yields and mortgage rates.

For homeowners with adjustable-rate mortgages, such as Conal Crawley, the stock market decline was welcome news that the Fed would put off a rate hike and that his home loans would remain manageable.

“I’m just trying to get the low rates,” said Crawley, 49, who lives in Boston.

2 men held without bail for alleged threats to Pokemon event BOSTON (AP) — Two men from Iowa made online threats against Pokemon competitors — referring to the Boston Marathon bombings and the Columbine High School massacre — then drove 25 hours to Boston, where they were stopped as they tried to register for the World Pokemon Championships, police said Monday.

Kevin Norton, 18, of Ames, Iowa, and James Stumbo, 27, of Boone, Iowa, were ordered held without bail on gun charges Monday pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Sept. 1.

Boston police Commissioner William Evans said the men made threatening statements in a closed online Pokemon forum and on other social media before driving to Boston for the competition. Both were experienced players invited

to attend the event at the Hynes Convention Center.

The moderator of the Pokemon forum notified security at the convention center, then Hynes officials notified police, Evans said.

The two men were stopped as they entered the convention center Thursday and were detained for questioning.

Police seized their car, which they believed they had guns and ammunition, but they released the men as they waited for a search warrant, Evans said. Norton and Stumbo were arrested Saturday morning at a hotel in Saugus, just north of Boston.

Officers found a 12-gauge shotgun, an AR-15 rifle, several hundred rounds of ammunition and a hunting knife in their car, police said. They said neither man was able to produce a gun license.

National ruling allows use of federal money to probe voting fraud IOWA CITY (AP) — States are free to use federal grant money intended to improve how elections are run in order to pay for criminal investigations of potential voter fraud, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission has ruled.

The commission’s opinion is a relief to election officials in Iowa, who will not have to pay back $240,000 in federal

money that was used for a voter fraud investigation that ended last year. But critics of Iowa’s investigation said they were surprised that the commission found that Help America Vote Act funding could be used for such a purpose, and worried that other states could follow suit.

“It seems like a real stretch,” said Tom Courtney, an Iowa Democratic state

senator who asked the commission’s inspector general to investigate the spending nearly three years ago. “But now with this ruling in their pocket, Iowa and other states might say, ‘all right.’ “ Months before the 2012 presidential election, then-Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz reached an agreement to pay the salary and expenses

of a full-time Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation agent for two years to look into “instances of potential criminal activity” related to voting and elections. The investigation led to charges against 10 nonU.S. citizens and 16 ex-felons accused of casting ballots despite not having voting rights.

Courtney argued that it was an inappropriate use of funding from the Help America Vote Act, which was passed in 2002 to improve elections and has provided more than $3 billion to states to pay for items such as voting equipment and poll worker train-

ing. The commission, which oversees HAVA spending, couldn’t decide whether the spending was allowed because it had no members for years. The commission started operating again in January after three appointees — two Republicans, one Democrat — won U.S. Senate confirmation.

OPINION Yes, Pander to Trump on immigration

Donald Trump’s rise in the polls is inextricably linked to the issue of immigration.

He probably wouldn’t have achieved liftoff without it, and now that his campaign has entered a new phase of semi-attempted seriousness, it is fitting that an immigration plan is the first policy proposal he has committed to paper.

It has occasioned the predictable horror that he might pull the Republican field to the right on immigration, or that the other candidates might pander to him.

Both are outcomes to be wished for, rather than avoided.

Amid the bar-stool bombast about deporting all illegal immigrants already here is the core of a program that is more sensible than the “comprehensive” solution offered by the political establishment.

What Trump offers is an entirely different framework for considering the issue. It is populist rather than elitist, and nationalist rather

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

than cosmopolitan. It rejects the status quo rather than attempting to codify it. It puts enforcement first and dares to ask whether current high levels of legal immigration serve the country’s interest.

In short, it takes a needed sledgehammer to the lazy establishment consensus on immigration.

First, at the beginning of the Trump plan is a statement so uncontroversial that it should qualify as pablum: “Real immigration reform puts the needs of working people first -- not wealthy globe-trotting donors.” Who could disagree?

Yet it’s rare to hear politicians say what should be a platitude. It’s almost as if invoking the interests of America’s workers is a faux

pas that leads to a blackballing by whatever is the Chamber of Commerce’s equivalent of Skull and Bones.

Second, at the heart of Trump’s written immigration-plan policy are enforcement measures that should be the lowest common denominator for Republicans: E-Verify, more Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, an end to catch-and-release at the border, and a crackdown on sanctuary cities.

They aren’t accompanied with any assurances of various pathways for illegal immigrants, and this is as it should be. Enforcement of our laws should come first, so any eventual amnesty of current illegals doesn’t draw yet another population of illegal immigrants.

In only very loose control of his mouth, Trump has pronounced on what he will do with illegals right now, and is both too harsh (they all will be deported) and too softheaded (many of them will be

brought back on an expedited basis). He would be well-served to revert to what he has on paper.

Finally, the written plan calls for allowing “record immigration levels to subside to more moderate historical averages.” This is an aspect of the immigration debate that almost no one else will touch. But why should we blithely accept historically high levels of legal immigration with almost no discussion?

Conventional wisdom assumes that the Trump plan is a political train wreck. The thrust of it isn’t.

Byron York of the Washington Examiner points to an academic paper that recounts the public reaction to a full gamut of seven possible immigration policies, ranging from open borders to a shutdown of the border coupled with deportation of illegal immigrants.

As York notes, the largest plurality, about a quarter of people, favor the strictest option. If you add in those favoring the two next

most restrictive options -- basically allowing high-skilled immigration but building a wall or deporting current illegal immigrants — you get a majority of 55 percent.

A Vox analysis looked at the public-opinion data and concluded, “There is very little support for any policy that the public perceives as increasing immigration.”

Trump is giving voice to a popular impulse almost entirely absent from the elite policy discussion.

Other Republican candidates shouldn’t seek to mimic his witless bravado, nor should they follow him down the rabbit hole of his ill-considered fixations (like getting Mexico to pay for a border wall, or revoking birthright citizenship).

But they should learn from his approach, which is a blunderbuss corrective to polite opinion.

Letters to the editor

Vote for a sensible medium From Richard Brammer Lenox

Obama wants to apologize to all the countries that hate us. Trump says he would blow them to hell.

If we can elect a president that will build our military back up to

the most powerful in the world, and can have a sensible medium between apologizing and blowing them to hell, we won’t see any country crossing the red line.

If our next president can do this, it will not matter if he or she is a Democrat or a Republican.

Support Friends of the Library From Martha Pine

Creston

August is the month for the membership drive for the Friends of the Library. The Friends of the Library support many events which benefit our library and community. Some of these events are guest speakers, financial sup-

port for the library, reading programs for youth and adults, the used book sale and Scholastic book sale, to name a few.

A community is judged by its amenities, of which the library is one. To me, supporting the Friends of the Library is supporting our library and promoting our community.

Planned Parenthood defended itself against GOP attacks HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Hillary Clinton hosted a town hall meeting and addressed an AFL-CIO convention in Las Vegas Tuesday. She wore a bright orange outfit, to the delight of Republicans who think she’s headed for prison. It’s not serious until Bill starts hem-hawing about how often he could see her for conjugal visits.

The United States Golf Association landed the prestigious Los Angeles Country Club to host the U.S. Open in eight years Tuesday.

The club grill room is famous for its world-class desserts. The pastry chef serves a chocolate pie that’s so dark and so rich that one of the Kardashian girls married it.

The Weather Channel reports that warm waters in the Pacific Ocean and off-shore low pressure generated gigantic waves for surfers in Southern California. There was high surf up and down the West Coast. One wave in Malibu was so powerful that it knocked Ben Affleck off his children’s nanny.

TLC’s Nineteen and Counting’s Josh Duggar’s name was posted among Ashley Madison clients revealed Tuesday. It ended his last chance for a show business career.

If Josh Duggar’s paid Ashley Madison account hadn’t been revealed in the leak, he could have been the new spokesman for Subway.

The NFL scheduled three regular-season games in London’s Wembley Stadium in October.

teams of high moral character there. Last year, London hosted the New York Jets and the Oakland Raiders, and after the game, Queen Elizabeth shipped them off to Australia.

Planned Parenthood defended itself against GOP attacks in Congress Friday by presenting itself as a family planner. Only one form of birth control works. If you and your spouse are thinking about starting a family, you call a tollfree number and they send over a teenager to live with you for a month.

Pepsi-Cola announced their chemists in upstate New York invented a new soft drink that’s half Mountain Dew and half-Doritos in its taste. These are America’s chemical geniuses at work. This sends a message to the world and that message is this, we’ll get to the Ebola vaccine when we get to it.

The Atlantic magazine ripped Donald Trump, claiming his deportation plan would have kept his own grandfather Frederick Trump from coming here from Germany.

There’s really nothing to worry about. The last time a German guy with crazy hair took over a country, everything turned out just fine.

Hillary Clinton was assailed by reporters over her e-mail scandal Tuesday. She couldn’t answer

when asked if her computer server had been wiped clean in the Denver bathroom where it was stored.

Eighteen years ago she blamed the vast right wing conspiracy and today it’s the Tidy Bowl Man. New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith’s jaw was broken by a sucker punch thrown by one of his teammates in the locker room over a six hundred dollar debt. No one came to the quarterback’s defense.

ISIS just announced they won’t recruit any members of the New York Jets, citing core values.

Jack Nicklaus donated the threewood he used to win all eighteen of his major championships to the USGA Museum. He was recently honored when Britain put his portrait on a commemorative fivepound note. Not to be outdone, Colombia just placed Willie Nelson’s portrait on the five-pound bale.

CBS announced that George Clooney will be the first guest on Steven Colbert’s new Late Night Show on CBS in September. It’ll be on his first wedding anniversary. George Clooney got married when he finally reached the age where all the phone numbers in his little black book were for urologists.

Caitlyn Jenner displayed the Arthur Ashe Courage Gold Medal Award she was given last month

by ESPN on her reality show on E. The audience gave her a standing ovation, fully recognizing the moment’s historical importance. Caitlyn is the first Olympic athlete to win a gold medal as both sexes.

To deal with this, I keep a log sheet next to my phone, organized in columns: Name, date, time, number, and comment and report date. When we get one of these “spam” calls, we write down the information. At the end of the day, I go to the www.donotcall.gov registry, click the “Submit a Complaint” button and, with just a few clicks, report each call. This is quick and easy to do, and has cut way down on these intrusions. — Nancy, via email Nancy, thanks for the reminder!

Dominating TV, Donald Trump a ratings draw NEW YORK (AP) — Opinion polls are one thing, but Nielsen numbers speak m o r e loudly to television executives: R e p u b l i - Trump can presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s ability to pull in viewers makes him catnip for news programs and wins a level of coverage that feeds on itself.

NBC’s “Meet the Press” had its biggest audience in more than a year for its Trump interview on Aug. 16, leading that show’s biggest competitors — ABC’s “This Week” and CBS’ “Face the Nation” — to feature phone interviews with the New York businessman this past Sunday.

After CNN turned Jake Tapper’s interview with Trump into a prime-time special last week and earned its best ratings at that hour in a month, the network repeated it two nights later.

Two Trump interviews on Sean Hannity’s Fox News Channel show this month both brought in around 2.2 million viewers, well above his typical audience.

Trump is generally considered the biggest reason why Fox reached a startling 24 million people for the first GOP presidential debate earlier this month —

the most watched program in Fox News history. That instantly made him a big “get” for TV producers, and the media savvy ex-reality show host has eagerly played along.

Keenly aware of his drawing power, Trump suggested in a Time magazine interview that he could ask CNN to pay $10 million to charity for his participation in the next GOP debate.

“He’s getting a lot of attention that he should get because he’s doing so well in the polls and he’s getting a lot of attention because he’s Donald Trump, and you never know what he’s going to say,” said David Bohrman, a television consultant and former CNN Washington bureau chief.

“It’s not negligence to cover him,” he said.

Aware of that drawing power, cable news outlets cover Trump events with an intensity the other 16 Republican candidates can only envy. A town hall meeting in New Hampshire last week drew live coverage. CNN and Fox News both cast aside regular programming Friday to pick up Trump speaking at a rally in Alabama.

Trump’s unpredictability is a bonus. His critical comments about Fox’s Megyn Kelly for her debate questions, made during an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon on what would normally be a sleepy August Friday night, put that show in head-

lines for the entire weekend.

Viewership during the seven call-in interviews that Trump has given to MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” since June 18 rose 22 percent from what the talk show averaged 10 minutes prior to his call, the Nielsen company said.

On July 24, the size of the audience jumped 47 percent in only a few minutes when Trump spoke.

Danny Shea, editorial director of The Huffington Post, compared the attention news networks are giving to Trump to CNN’s non-stop coverage of the missing Malaysian airliner last year. He was on “Morning Joe” last week to defend HuffPo’s declaration that it would only cover Trump’s candidacy in its entertainment section, a decision that grows harder to defend with each new poll.

“There’s an open secret that (Trump’s campaign) is a joke and a spectacle,” Shea said, “and by going wall-towall on it you’re just legitimizing it.”

Morning Joe co-host, Joe Scarborough, rejected the argument that Trump had more ratings than news value. During off-the-air meetings, “nobody ever says, ‘OK, Donald Trump is great for ratings.’ What we say is, ‘what the hell is going on?

Can you believe this? What is happening?’ He is a very real story, and the longer he stays in front, the more of a story he’s going to be.”

RACING Update

To race or not to race, that was the question

By JACOB BEST

with a few races left.

Pro-stocks Tony Hardisty made his debut last week in a new ride with fans cheering after an overdue wait to see one of the ACS greats back on the dirt in the Northland Oil Pro-stocks. This week they got yet another reason to tell their friends and neighbors to not miss another show as “Scuba” Steve Churchill made his return to ACS. Talk on the infield is that it was for one night of fun with a loaned hot rod from Brad Derry, but fans are wanting more. Only time will tell if they get to see Tony Hardisty and “Scuba” Steve battling once again.

Brad Derry, Kevin Sharp, Joe Zadina and Greg Miller have made it very clear that there will not be a walk-away champion in the pro-stocks this season. It appears that it will come down to Sept. 5 and the last checkered of the season on who will have bragging rights until next year.

Hobby Stocks Chat Mobility has had one of the most talked about classes at ACS this season and it is well deserved with the level of competition that has been going on each week in the Hobby Stocks.

Matt McAtee, Andy Da-

more in the Stalker Chevrolet B-Mods. Championship contenders Jerod Weston, Ryan Jenkins, Kody Havens, Bryce Allen and Shawn Kralik were all ready to push their machines to the limit Saturday until weather pushed their feature to next week.

All five drivers have shown that they are ready to be the 2015 track champion with three features to decide who will get the honor. Brothers Dustin and Bret Sheppard are having a fun family battle with their EDGE Chassis B-Mods built by Josh Most. Dustin and Bret finished 1st and 2nd in their heat against each other and fans can’t wait to see them share the track again this week.

Modifieds Jesse Dennis and Jeff Wiggins both made a strong showing Saturday night in the POET Biorefining Modifieds. “Candy Man” Wiggins appears to have gotten some bugs worked out and made sure fans took notice that he still had something left for Dennis. Fans seem to be concentrated on the top five with Jon Plowman, Clint Homan and the “Van Eatonville Mafia” of Todd Van Eaton and Jeff James all vying for fourth and fifth and hopes of maybe more

Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING — Mark Wyman and the ACFRA Board hoped for the best on getting in a full night of half-mile dirt racing action Saturday night before threatening weather got to the track.

However, with lightening giving racers and fans an extra show to watch and a few sprinkles, the night was cut short.

Late Models Paul Glendenning added another trophy to his collection Saturday in his Coors Light Silver Bullet Late Model, but not without contention. Glendenning took another victory with the only feature run Saturday, the make-up feature from POET Biorefining Night.

ACS legend Al Zeitner was on hand to make drivers step up their game with “Wild Child” Sterling Perkins and John Hampel making sure to let Glendenning know it is not going to be easy to take the title this season. With another great battle between father and son, Mike and Colton Leal, going on with them tied up and only two weeks left.

B-Mods Saturday’s rain cancellation left drivers wanting

vison, Jeremy Purdy and Luke Ramsey have made hobby stocks a “must see” class this year. Dave Weeda took a heat win and made it evident for the top four to not count him out just yet as he is ready to be the first to the double checkers again.

Great weeks and weeks that have made drivers let’s just say not too happy have kept the points battle very tight.

All drivers in the top 15 have not given each other an inch or an easy breath all year and the fans continue to look forward to the next week.

Makeup night This Saturday will have fans on their feet and cheers should be heard for miles as ACS makes up five A-Features from POET Biorefining Night and along with five A-Features for Southwest Distributing Night plus the Northland Oil Pro-Stock King of the Hill plus the POET Biorefining King of the Hill.

All this racing will be available at regular entry prices. Ten features and two King of the Hills, all involving the best dirt track racing drivers, crews and fans Saturday night at southweset Iowa’s favorite half-mile track — Adams County Speedway.

DES MOINES—Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased slightly to 3.8 percent in July from 3.7 percent in June. The state’s jobless rate was 4.3 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate remained at 5.3 percent in July.

“Iowa’s nonfarm employment surged ahead in July, gaining 8,100 jobs,” said Beth Townsend, director of Iowa Workforce Development. “Jobs were added in virtually all sectors this month and lifted nonfarm employment 30,900 jobs higher than one year ago.”

The number of unemployed Iowans remained at 63,900 in July. The current estimate is 10,300 lower than the year ago level of 74,200.

The total number of working Iowans decreased to 1,636,500 in July. This figure was 4,000 lower than June and 4,100 higher than one year ago.

Total nonfarm employment advanced by 8,100 jobs in July, raising nonfarm employment to 1,577,400 jobs. The unexpectedly large gain this month was primarily the result of growth in private sectors (+6,100).

Both goods-producing and service sectors advanced for the third consecutive month, while government added 2,000 jobs due primarily to hiring at the local level. Of the 11 super sectors, only two pared jobs this month: professional and business services (-2,700) and trade and

transportation (-900).

Education and health services added the most jobs this month (+3,700), more than recovering from an early seasonal decline last month.

Jobs were added in both education and health care services. Leisure and hospitality added jobs for the first time in three months. The majority of the gains were in seasonal recreation activities.

Financial activities increased for the third straight month (+1,500). The job growth is a stark contrast from year’s end, when hiring was sluggish for Iowa’s financial sector. A combined 3,300 jobs have been added over the past three months. Smaller gains this month included manufacturing (+1,300), which has also increased in three consecutive months. Construction added 900 jobs and now rests just below 80,000 total jobs in Iowa.

Annually, Iowa nonfarm employment is up 30,900 jobs (+2.0 percent). Despite the mediocre showing this month, trade and transportation continues to fare well versus last year and is up 6,700 jobs—the most of any super sector. The education and health services sector has also benefitted from unexpected gains this month and is up 5,200 jobs. Construction continues to maintain a strong presence and has added 4,800 jobs. Only information services trails last year’s level (-800).

Public sectors are up 5,000 jobs due primarily to education hiring at the state and local levels.

...in a really BIG way!

More than 13,000 southern Iowans make us a part of their lives each weekday!

Monday’s Mets vs.

Phillies game is the first in MLB history in which 10 different players hit a home run.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Nelson out GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers’ fear that Jordy Nelson sustained a season-ending knee injury Sunday was confirmed.

The Packers announced Monday afternoon that Nelson will miss the entire season. Although the team did not specify Nelson’s injury, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that an MRI revealed Nelson tore his ACL, but everything else in his knee is intact.

Coach Mike McCarthy said after Sunday’s game that he had hoped for good news after Nelson underwent additional tests Monday.

Nelson will need reconstructive surgery but should be back for the start of the 2016 season.

He took to Facebook to thank his family, friends and fans.

Wright returns PHILADELPHIA — On the eve of his first major league game in 132 days, New York Mets captain David Wright purchased cookies from a favorite Philadelphia shop, dressed in his full road gray uniform out of “boredom” and greeted his teammates in the lobby of their five-star hotel as they arrived from Denver after a weekend sweep of the Colorado Rockies.

“I’m unpacking my baseball stuff and I’m like, ‘Why not?’” Wright said with a laugh.

Wright’s return to the lineup Monday was an equally big hit among his teammates.

In his first game since April 14, Wright finished 2-for-5 with a solo homer, three runs scored and a walk as the Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 16-7 in the series opener at Citizens Bank Park. He also committed two errors at third base.

Wright, 32, had been dealing with spinal stenosis -- a narrowing of the spinal cavity that placed pressure on nerves in his lower back and at one point made it difficult to stand upright.

Walkoff win CHICAGO — Chicago’s Jon Lester and Cleveland’s Corey Kluber locked up in a terrific pitchers’ duel. But after the marquee starters left the game, Kris Bryant walked off with the key hit.

Bryant homered with two outs in the ninth inning to lift the surging Cubs to a 2-1 victory over the Indians on Monday in a makeup of a June 15 rainout. The rookie, who homered twice Sunday, lined a pitch from Cleveland reliever Zach McAllister (3-4) into the rightfield bleachers to give Chicago its fifth straight win and 21st victory in 26 games.

The wind was blowing steadily to right all game, but only Bryant came close to taking advantage of it. He went deep for the 20th time this season.

Spartans split opening matches in Nebraska

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

BEATRICE, Neb. — Southwestern’s volleyball team opened the season by going 2-2 in four weekend matches at Southeast Nebraska Community College, and coach Ting Liu came away encouraged.

“We are much better than last year,” Liu said.

“Although we lost our first two matches, we were looking for positive things to keep improving and we won our last two matches.”

Cloud County (Kan.) swept Southwestern on Friday, 25-19, 25-15, 25-11 and Northeast (Neb.) followed with a hard-fought 3-2 win by scores of 25-22,

21-25, 25-17, 28-30, 15-6.

The momentum from that five-set battle seemed to carry over to Saturday, when the Spartans went undefeated for the day in sweeping Highland (Kan.) 25-12, 25-13, 25-22 followed by a 25-18, 25-17, 26-24 triumph over host Southeast (Neb.).

“We were happy with our performance,” Liu said. “Our defense was going well. We dug up a lot of balls and we had some good blocks. Our offense was there, especially with our outside hitters scoring a lot for us.”

All-conference sophomore Carmen Subbert had a team-high 10 kills in the opening match, while the attack was more balanced

against Northeast as Subbert and transfer s o p h o m o r e Xuntong Z h a n g each had 13 kills and fresh- Subbert man Marie Palmer of Southwest Valley added 12. Palmer also had six blocks and Brooke Decker had five.

Krechele Brown was the defensive leader Friday with 14 digs a g a i n s t Brown

Cloud County and 33 in the Northeast marathon battle.

Freshman setter Hanna Luther, garnering nearly all of the assists for the weekend, was also valuable on defense with 12 digs in the opening match and 17 vs. Northeast. Subbert, an all-around player, had 18 digs against Northeast.

On Saturday, Subbert was hot at the net again with 17 digs against Highland and 11 in the win over Southeast to lead the Spartans. Zhang had nine against Highland and seven in the win over Southeast. Decker and Zhang each had four total blocks against Southeast.

Defensively, Brown had a team-best 16 digs in the finale and added three service aces. Brown had 19 digs against Highland with a lot of help from Luther and Subbert with 12 each and 11 by Zhang. Brittany Langendoerfer also contributed with eight digs in the final match and 11 on Friday vs. Northeast.

Luther had 20 setting assists against Cloud County, 45 in the battle with Northeast, 36 against Highland and 22 in the win over Southeast. Brown added three assist sets against Northeast.

Southwestern is idle until the home opener Sept. 1 against Grand View at 6:30 p.m.

Spartans gain experience at Region XI Time Trial

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

COUNCIL BLUFFS — The Southwestern Community College cross country teams didn’t achieve the team placings they hoped for at Saturday’s Region XI Time Trial here, but they did gain valuable experience.

Both Spartan teams finished last in the team standings, with the men finishing just five points out of fifth place. Iowa Western won the men’s team competition with 29 points, with Iowa Central finishing second with 49 points. Southwestern scored 150 points.

“While the placing was not what we hoped for, I am encouraged by the competitive fire and effort shown by the students,” Southwestern head

coach Nick Ekel said. “On the men’s side, we lost to Scott Community College by five points, where we lost head-tohead races against their No. 1, 3, 4 and 5 runners.

“Scott managed to place their No. 5 and 6 in front of our No. 5, leading to the fivepoint margin of defeat against Scott. The experience of getting last by five points will educate every runner in our program to finish a race strong, because their contribution matters.”

Sophomore Sean Schmitz of Afton led the Spartan men with a 23rd-place finish in 18:20.22.

That time is just 28 Schmitz seconds off

his 5,000 meter PR on a track.

“This result shows his level of commitment to his summer training,” Ekel said.

Freshman Joe Blake from Shenandoah finished 25th in 18:23.44. Freshman Gabe Esser of Winterset ran third for the Spartans in 31st place, clocking a 19:08.88 over the 5K course.

Coty Good and Chasen Selsor rounded out the team scoring for the Spartans with placings of 45th and 49th, respectively.

On the women’s side, Shiomi Kuwabara led the way with an 18th-place finish. Kuwabara ran 25:34.65.

“I was impressed with Shiomi’s performance, as this was her first race at the collegiate level,” Ekel said. “This race was a great measuring stick to see where we are at, and to show what needs to be done

to be competitive within the region, which is the toughest in the NJCAA.” Sophomores Brooke Lindgren and Charley Buddenhagen finished 33rd and 34th for the Spartans, running 28:36.65 and 28:44.64, respectively.

Iowa Central won the women’s team competition with 46 points, edging out NIACC by five points.

The Spartans return to action Friday, Sept. 4, when they travel to Ewing Park in Des Moines for Drake’s Bulldog 4K Classic.

Creston News Advertiser Tuesday, August 25, 2015

DALLAS CENTER — Creston cross country team’s season-opening meet at Dallas Center-Grimes has been moved from Thursday, Sept. 3 to Tuesday, Sept. 1.

Start time is still scheduled for 5 p.m.

RV-TV Des Moines — HawkeyeNation.com, the popular independent news and information source for University of Iowa Hawkeyes athletics, has announced that they are teaming up with WHO-TV and CycloneFanatic.com as part of WHO Channel 13’s popular RV-TV weeklong news segment. RV-TV will be on the road, touring different cities each day in Iowa during the Iowa-Iowa State football rivalry week, which begins Monday, Sept.

7.

The award-winning Channel 13 sports team—consisting of WHO Sports Director Keith Murphy, Sports Reporter/Anchor John Sears, and Meteorologist Ed Wilson—will be on-hand to broadcast RV-TV each day during the Cy-Hawk rivalry week, starting out in Greenfield on Monday, Sept. 7.

They will then travel to Carroll on Tuesday, Humboldt on Wednesday, Webster City on Thursday, and the final destination in Ames on Friday and Saturday. This year’s game will be held at Jack Trice Stadium.

This marks the 15th year for RV-TV and as the tradition grows, so too do the celebrations in each town they visit. To add even further fuel to the rivalry, they will

be going on tour with popular websites HawkeyeNation.com and CycloneFanatic.com. The former will be bringing along their brand new RV. “We’re always looking for ways to freshen and energize the RV-TV experience for fans of both the Cyclones and Hawkeyes,” Keith Murphy said. “I cannot think of a better way to do that than teaming up with HawkeyeNation.com and CycloneFanatic.com. It should make it more fun, and bring new fans to the party.”

Additional personalities that will be along for the tour with RV-TV includes Scott Siepker, who is best known as the “Iowa Nice Guy”, 1460 KXNO Sports Fanatics co-hosts Ross Peterson and Chris Williams, and a few surprise former Iowa football players who will be guests on the trek to Ames. Peterson, who also writes for HawkeyeNation. com and Williams, who publishes CycloneFanatic.com, will be discussing the rivalry live at each location during their sports talk show, which airs daily from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on 1460 KXNO. “We love RV-TV because it brings us to towns across our great state, and reminds us how awesome the CyHawk rivalry is at a grassroots level,” Murphy said.

“I often times get too caught up in the negative trolling that goes on, and these RVTV Cy-Hawk street parties are about family, friends and fun—with some football and beer thrown in too. We cannot wait for RV-TV to kick off.”

Iowa turns to sophomore Myers to replace Scherff

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

IOWA CITY (AP) — The public debut for Boone Myers as Iowa’s starting left tackle was largely a disaster.

Fortunately for the Hawkeyes, it appears to have been just a rare bad day for the youngster set to replace Outland Trophy winner Brandon Scherff.

Myers looked nowhere near ready to take over for the fifth overall pick in the recent NFL Draft after a shaky workout performance earlier this month at Kinnick Stadium. But Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz remains high on Myers, who has held onto the starting job as Iowa prepares for its opener against Illinois State on Sept. 5.

“He’s done a lot of good things too, and he’s won a lot of battles. It’s ironic, because that week he made progress. It was really clear to me that he was really improving,” Ferentz said. “It didn’t show up that Sat- Ferentz urday. But that’s part of the experience.”

Myers isn’t the only tackle Iowa will need to be game-ready in less than two weeks.

The Hawkeyes are hoping that Myers and fellow sophomore Ike Boettger can replace two longtime starters who were the bright spots for an inconsistent offense.

Myers began his career as a walk-on after starring as a tight end and defensive end in high school. But he impressed the coaching staff enough to earn a leadership award while redshirting in 2013, and the Hawkeyes put Myers on scholarship prior to last season. Simply earning the starting left tackle job at Iowa is a sign that the

coaching staff truly believes in his abilities.

Iowa has had four left tackles — Scherff, Riley Reiff, Bryan Bulaga and Robert Gallery — taken in the first round of the NFL draft since 2004.

“He’s not replacing Brandon. He’s following Brandon, and to replace Brandon Scherff, who was one of the best players to ever play at this university, that’s totally off the radar. What he has to worry about is just being the best he can be. I personally think he’s going to be a pretty good player,” Ferentz said.

Boettger, like Myers, is an Iowa kid who played everywhere in high school and has spent the last two years bulking up. Boettger was a tight end, quarterback, wide receiver and defensive back at Cedar Falls High, but after a redshirt season and another spent as a backup he’s now at 6-foot-6 and 300 pounds.

Boettger is penciled in as the starting right tackle. Junior Cole Croston is expected to spell the two youngsters as the first tackle off the bench.

“There’s no question that there’s going to be bumps in the road. But there’s also no question that I think both of them are going to be really good players,” offensive coordinator Greg Davis said of Myers and Boettger.

Perhaps the surprise of the offseason has been freshman James Daniels, the rare first-year offensive lineman who could start for Iowa.

Daniels began his career in the spring semester, and after roughly 30 practices he has already forced the coaching staff to find ways to get him on the field.

“He’s clearly doing better than you’d expect a firstyear guy (to do),” Ferentz said. “He looks pretty comfortable with the first two groups, so we’ll just see how it goes.”

IndyCar driver Justin Wilson dies of head injury

By JENNA FRYER

AP Auto Racing Writer

IndyCar driver Justin Wilson died Monday night from a head injury suffered when a piece of debris struck him at Pocono Raceway. He was 37.

IndyCar made the announcement at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Wilson, a British driver who lived outside Denver in Longm o n t , Colorado, was hit in the head d u r i n g Wilson Sunday’s race by piece of debris that had broken off another car.

Wilson’s car veered into an interior wall at the track, and he was swiftly taken by helicopter to a hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

“Can’t even begin to describe the loss I feel right now. He was my Brother, my best friend, my role model and mentor. He was a champion!” his younger brother, Stefan, also an IndyCar driver, tweet-

ed. Stefan Wilson said his brother’s organs would be donated.

The last IndyCar driver to die from an on-track incident was Indianapolis 500 champion Dan Wheldon, who was killed in the 2011 season finale at Las Vegas after his head hit a post in the fence when his car went airborne.

After Wheldon’s death, Wilson became one of three driver representatives to serve as a liaison between the competitors and IndyCar. It was no surprise: The 6-foot-4 Wilson, easily the tallest in the series, was well liked.

“Justin’s elite ability to drive a race car was matched by his unwavering kindness, character and humility — which is what made him one of the most respected members of the paddock,” said Mark Miles, CEO of Hulman & Co., the parent company of IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Wilson won seven times over 12 seasons in openwheel racing and finished as high as fifth in the Indianapolis 500. An acclaimed sports car racer, Wilson won the prestigious

24 Hours of Daytona with Michael Shank Racing, and he competed in 20 Formula One races in 2003 before moving to the U.S. to join Champ Car. He finished third in the Champ Car standings in 2005, and was runner-up in both 2006 and 2007.

To support his career, his management team in 2003 created a program that allowed fans to invest in the driver. Hundreds of people bought shares in Wilson, who was dyslexic and a strong supporter of foundations related to the disorder.

Wilson, a native of Sheffield, England, entered this season without a fulltime ride. He latched on with Andretti Autosport and was in the sixth of seven scheduled races with the team. The agreement began as a two-race deal for events at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and then was increased to the final five races of the year. The IndyCar season concludes Sunday in Sonoma, California.

Andretti Autosport called Wilson “a tremendous racer, a valuable member of the team and

respected representative to our sport.”

“While Justin was only part of the Andretti lineup for a short time, it only took a second for him to forever become part of the Andretti family,” the team said. “His life and racing career is a story of class and passion surpassed by none. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the Wilson family and fans worldwide.

Godspeed, JW.” Wilson finished a season-best second at MidOhio in early August. He said after the race that he raced clean and did not take any risks that would have jeopardized eventual race-winner Graham Rahal because Rahal was part of the championship race and Wilson was not.

“Anyone who follows our sport knows Justin was one of the most well-respected, highly regarded and loved people in the entire paddock,” said Miles, who passed on the Wilsons’ gratitude to the IndyCar safety team and medical staffs of the series, Pocono Raceway and the hospital in Allentown.

The family also was

grateful to the entire motorsports industry.

“Particularly the Wilson family wishes to thank Justin’s fellow drivers, and their families, who have been so thoughtful, and kind, and supportive,” Miles said.

Ed Carpenter, the only driver/owner in IndyCar and the stepson of IndyCar founder Tony George Jr., attended the announcement and spoke of the respect Wilson had throughout the paddock.

“Days like this are extremely hard on all of us,” Carpenter said. “Justin was a great professional driver and extremely good at his craft. Beyond that, he was a great guy. One of the few, if only, guys who really was a friend of everyone in the paddock. Everyone respected him for the way he carried himself.”

Wilson broke a bone in his back at Mid-Ohio in 2011. He missed the final six races of the season and wore a back brace for more than two months while he was restricted from any physical activity. The injury kept him out of the season finale at Las Vegas, the race where Wheldon died.

He also broke his pelvis and suffered a bruised lung in the 2013 season finale at Fontana.

Wilson once said that his injuries and Wheldon’s death did nothing to change his perspective or make him question his career choice.

“You’ve got to know the risks and work out if those risks are acceptable,” Wilson told The Associated Press upon his return to racing in 2012. “To me, it’s acceptable. But I’m not going to stop trying to improve it. All the drivers, this IndyCar, we’re always trying to make it safer, but at the end of the day, it’s a race car. We’re racing hard, we’re racing IndyCars and it’s fast. When it goes wrong, it can get messy.”

In addition to his wife, Julia, Wilson is survived by two daughters, 7 and 5.

The family asked for donations to a trust fund for his daughters in lieu of flowers. ___ AP Sports Writer Dan Gelston contributed to this report.

Preseason and training camp injuries mount up

By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

The games don’t count.

That makes the pain from major preseason injuries even more, well, painful.

Yet NFL teams go through weeks of training camp in the intense heat of summer, then play four exhibition matches — five if you are chosen for the Hall of Fame game.

Despite new rules resulting from the 2011 labor agreement that curtail the number and intensity of practices, key players such as Packers star receiver Jordy Nelson don’t make it to the real season.

It’s a delicate balancing act for everyone: players, coaches, trainers, even owners.

Is it too much?

“I don’t know if it changes the mindset,” says Falcons coach Dan Quinn, whose team hasn’t lost any significant performers for the season.

Yet. “That’s always at the forefront of our thinking. You know in this profession, it’s part of the game, but it still (stinks). It’s a bummer for (Nelson) and his team.”

More than a bummer, it could be a season changer.

Few receivers are as important to their teams as Nelson is to Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay. “It’s difficult to lose a guy like that in a meaningless game,” Rodgers said.

And there are two more “meaningless” games ahead for all 32 teams. This week’s matchups are the ones when the starters get the most action — and are subject to the most risk. Even that could change; some coaches are considering reducing the time their elite players are used this week.

“That’s where the challenge is for a coach,” says Quinn, in his first season in charge after running Seattle’s superb defense. “From how do you get the readiness you need to play at your best to wishing you had done more to get them ready.”

Or done more to keep them healthy.

Look at the Redskins, Giants, Browns and Bills, clubs already ravaged by injuries.

Washington saw tight ends Niles Paul (broken ankle) and Logan Paulsen (turf toe) lost for the season.

New York is trying to rebuild its secondary, and has lost two safeties for 2015, with several others sidelined, some with major injuries.

It got so bad that projected starter Bennett Jackson tore up a knee late in a win over Jacksonville; Jackson was only on the field because the Giants had run out of safeties.

“Hopefully these injuries slow down,” linebacker and defense leader Jon Beason said. “They have been coming fast and furious for us the past couple of few weeks.”

And for Cleveland. At least the Browns haven’t seen anyone sidelined for the regular season, but they’ve had an epidemic of soft tissue problems, which often stem from players not being fully fit when they enter workouts.

Buffalo has had practice sessions and games without its top five running backs and top three receivers. The Bills also lost two players to longterm injuries.

Trying to protect guys also

becomes problematic, Bills coach Rex Ryan says, because it puts other players in situations they wouldn’t normally be in.

“I think sometimes when you start taking plays off of somebody else and you put more on to other people,” Ryan said, “and we watch that all the time. But it’s something that obviously we’ve been bit with.”

For years, suggestions from outside the NFL to cut back on the preseason have flooded the summer conversation. Complaints range from fans having to pay regular-season ticket prices for exhibition games to the lack of quality and excitement in such games to ... injuries.

likes the ratings the preseason games bring.

And don’t even approach the coaches about cutting back more on prep time.

“You have to get ready,” Jets coach Todd Bowles said.

“If there are fewer preseason games, you don’t get to see young guys and you don’t get to evaluate, and the older guys don’t play themselves into shape. Some unfortu-

nate things that go on but, we have to play the preseason games.”

Adds veteran linebacker James Harrison, whose Steelers lost star center Maurkice Pouncey to a severe ankle injury: “Football is about preparation, you’ve got to go out there and do it time and time again,” Harrison said.
