Santorum worships, speaks in Creston Sunday evening

Joking that the current Republican field has “723 candidates,” former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum worked to separate himself from the pack at an event Sunday night at Creston Family Restaurant.

About 20 people gathered in the dining room to hear Santorum, winner of the 2012 Iowa Caucuses.

Santorum began by thanking Iowans for helping him rise from 2 percent in the polls in the last election to a national contender, thanking them for considering the issues, not just the national headlines and poll numbers.

“The reason I want to congratulate you is not just because I won,” he said. “I

want to congratulate you for doing exactly what the Iowa Caucuses are meant to do.”

Currently polling between 1 and 2 percent, Santorum drew differences between himself and other candidates, touting his leadership on issues like abortion and traditional marriage.

“They’re the hardest issues to lead on because they’re the most controversial — the ones that you pay the heaviest price for leading,” Santorum said.

“You see a lot of folks that say ‘I’m pro-life’ or ‘I’m pro-marriage.’ See if they’ve

led on any of those issues — not whether they voted on those isues, not whether they signed on those issues,” Santorum said the No. 1 priority for federal government spending should be defending the country, and he said he has the experience when it comes to understanding conflict overseas.

“Commander-in-chief is not an entry-level position,” he said.

Four months ago, Santorum said his picture and a quote was in one of the magazines distributed by ISIS with the words “In the words of our enemy” printed above it.

“ISIS knows who I am, and I know who they are, and I know how to defeat them, and they know that too,” he said.

Santorum fielded ques-

tions on immigration, education, climate change and the Supreme Court.

He said he is one of only a few candidates who would fight to reverse the Supreme Court decision on gay marriage, saying the Supreme Court does not have the ultimate say, and the result of the decision will be discrimination of people with religious objections.

“People are losing their jobs, not getting contracts today, because of their positions,” he said.

Santorum, a catholic, attended a special Sunday mass at Holy Spirit Parish immediately before the 8 p.m. event. Earlier in the day, Santorum had made visits to Mount Ayr and Bedford. He will have visited all 99 Iowa counties by Tuesday.

The warm lighting and coffee-smelling air created an air of informality for a town hall-like coffee that Rep. David Young (IA-R) hosted Thursday at Adams Street Espresso.

The coffee brought a group of concerned citizens and a class of high-school students to listen to Young answer questions about issues important to them, particularly veteran’s affairs.

“I just got an email yesterday from the VA (Department of Veterans Affairs): ‘This week, we reduced the disability claims backlogging at 90,000 claims, an Young 84 percent reduction from its peak historic low,” said Richard James of Creston. “There are over 10 million claims being backlogged at the VA right now, and I am actually one of those people.”

James and Young discussed the VA scandal in 2014, when 35 veterans died waiting for healthcare in Phoenix, Ariz., because of delays in getting proper healthcare to those and many other veterans.

“They’re so backlogged with the problem,” James said. “There’s just a big cluster of not getting the ball rolling in their home states.”

Young explained the scandal to the crowd and what’s

“We also passed a bill to allow veterans to basically receive healthcare wherever they need. If they’re doing okay, if they’re at a veteran’s hospital and they want to stay there, they’re good.”

U.S. Representative

been done since then to improve healthcare to those who served in the United States Military.

“We also passed a bill to allow veterans to basically receive healthcare wherever they need. If they’re doing okay, if they’re at a veteran’s hospital and they want to stay there, they’re good.

If not, you should have the option to get taken care of wherever you see fit because you put your life on the line for us,” Young said.

The bill, called the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014, was passed in 2014 to provide more options for veterans in choosing their own healthcare.

Also, the VA Accountability Act of 2015 was passed in July, which provides protection to whistle blowers and strengthen accountability and performance measures for senior VA employees.

Gov. Terry Branstad has proclaimed September as Recovery Month in Iowa. The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) joins the Branstad U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and local Iowa prevention and treatment agencies in recognition of Recovery Month, which seeks to educate Iowans about substance use treatment and mental health services that can enable those with a mental and/or substance use disorder to live a healthy and rewarding life.

According to the most recent (2013) national survey on drug use and health, about 185,000 Iowans age 12 or older (7.3 percent of indi-

Recovery month’s purpose is to educate Iowans about substance use treatment and mental health services.

■

viduals in this age group) are dependent on or abuse alcohol; about 42,000 Iowans in that age group (1.7 percent) are dependent on or abuse illicit drugs. The survey also found about 107,000 Iowans age 18 or older (4.7 percent) have a serious mental illness.

Recovery month is an opportunity to emphasize that treatment is effective for those who struggle with substance use disorders or mental health conditions.

“Education is essential to overcoming misconceptions and achieving long-term health recovery,” said Kevin Gabbert of the IDPH Bureau of Substance Abuse.

“Our message is simply that behavioral health is essential to overall health; that

prevention works, treatment is effective and people do recover.”

According to IDPH, alcohol is the substance most abused by Iowans. A November 2014 study of people admitted to substance abuse treatment shows 52 percent reported alcohol as their primary problem. Methamphetamine was second at 25 percent and marijuana was third at 16 percent.

Recovery is possible with treatment. According to client interviews conducted six months after discharge, the abstinence rate rose from zero percent at admission to 46 percent at six months; the full-time employment rose from 26 percent at admission to 43 percent at six months post-discharge; and

“Education is essential to overcoming misconceptions and achieving long-term health recovery.”

— Kevin Gabbert IDPH Bureau of Substance Abuse

87 percent of treatment clients were arrest-free during this time period, as compared to 40 percent at admission.

Century and heritage farms recognized during Iowa State Fair DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey recognized century and heritage farm families during a ceremony at the Iowa Northey State Fair again this year. To qualify, a family must have owned at least 40 acres for 100 years or more in the case of century farms and 150 years or more for a heritage farm.

This year, 366 century farms and 101 heritage farms were recognized.

“Being able to recognize these farm families is one of my favorite days of the year,” said Northey. “This award is a tremendous celebration of the families who have cared for the land and raised the crops and livestock

that helped build our state and feed the world. To own a farm for 100 or 150 years is a testament to the values of land stewardship, hard work, patience, dedication and perseverance that are found in Iowa’s farm families.”

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship has partnered with the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation since 1976 to recognize families that have owned and worked a farm for 100 years or more. Including this year’s recipients, more than 18,600 farms from across the state have been recognized.

The Heritage Farms Program was started in 2006, on the 30th anniversary of the Century Farms Program and now 837 farms have been recognized.

The 2015 Century and Heritage Farms programs ceremony was held at the Iowa State Fair in the Pio-

neer Livestock Pavilion on Aug. 20. Joe Heinrich, vice president of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, and Northey recognized all award recipients.

“The program acknowledges the deep roots of Iowa agriculture and the special bond that exists between Iowa families and the land they farm,” Northey said.

“The Iowa State Fair is a celebration of Iowa and Iowa agriculture, so it’s a great place to recognize the century farm and heritage farm recipients.”

Local century farms recognized: Adair Steven and Deborah Lilly of Greenfield, 1915 Adams Douglas and Delores Brown of Corning, 1913 Ringgold Derlin Beard and family of Diagonal, 1881 Glendenning Farms of

Mount Ayr, 1913 Vicky Leonard of Clearfield, 1904 Jeremy and Amy Novak of Diagonal, 1915 Taylor Al Brammer of Lenox, 1908 Lyle and Susan Frey of Villisca, 1915 David and Connie Parrish of Bedford, 1909 Union LaMonte and Jean Combs Trust of Creston, 1876 Richard Weis Trust of Afton, 1915 Local heritage farms recognized: Adair Gary Cooper of Fontanelle, 1857 George and Wendy Feazell of Bridgewater, 1865 Leland and Roberta Johnson of Orient, 1857 Ringgold Sandra Taylor of Diagonal, 1865.

Health insurance rates increase for three companies

Starting school later let Iowa families have more summer fun

DES MOINES—The Iowa Insurance Division announced Wednesday that health insurance rate increases were approved for Wellmark, Coventry and Gundersen.

The companies asked for approval of the increases earlier this year due to rising costs.

The rate increases vary by plan and take effect on Jan. 1. Wellmark rates will increase an average of 17.6 percent for about 104,000 policyholders.

Wellmark also proposed a rate increase effective Jan. 1, 2016, of an average of 28.7 percent for about 3,000 policyholders.

SIOUX CITY (AP) — A new law that prevented Iowa schools from starting before Aug. 23 helped boost crowds at the State Fair and other attractions this month.

Attendance at the Iowa State Fair in mid-August hit an all-time high of 1,117,398.

The Sioux City Journal reports the August crowds at Arnolds Park Amusement Park appeared larger this year.

A rate increase for Coventry Health Care of Iowa was also approved.

Coventry proposed a rate increase average of 17.8 percent initially and later asked for an additional two percent to cover new costs. The approved increase of 19.8 percent will take effect on Jan. 1.

The increase impacts about 35,000 to 47,000 Coventry policyholders.

Gundersen Health Plan proposed a rate increase effective Jan. 1 of an average of 9.4 percent for about 60 policyholders. A rate increase of 9.4 percent was approved.

Myles Kass owns a seasonal restaurant at Arnolds Park, and he said his August sales numbers were higher than in recent years.

Many Iowa school districts started on Aug. 24.

Last year, only 14 of 338 Iowa districts started after Aug. 23.

Mark Sanders says the later school start helped him keep a promise to take his daughter and two friends to Arnolds Park earlier this month.

Horoscope Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel rebellious, independent and restless today.

Be careful, because this is the recipe for an accident-prone situation. Guard against kneejerk reactions.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Like Aries, you feel restless today. However, you are going to be more private about it. It won’t really show, but you feel it inside. Calm down and don’t be hasty.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A friend might have surprising news for you today, or perhaps a member of a group will do something that catches you off guard. You might meet a real character today, as well.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Relations with authority figures are unpredictable today. Therefore, be on guard.

If something unusual occurs, think twice before quitting your day job.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Sudden opportunities to travel might fall in your lap today.

Similarly, opportunities to get further training or education are possible. Be on the lookout for these.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Make sure you know what’s going on with shared property, taxes, debt and anything you own jointly with others. Make friends with your bank account so that you are not caught off guard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Partners and close friends are unpredictable today. They might surprise you by doing or saying something you least expect. On the other hand, perhaps you want a change in the relationship.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your work routine will be interrupted today. Computer crashes, staff shortages, canceled meetings and equipment breakdowns are just some examples. Be prepared.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids, so parents should be vigilant.

Romantic relationships might suffer a setback. Patience is your best friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Minor breakages might occur at home today, or small appliances could break down because something will create a speed bump in your home

routine. A family member might have surprising news.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be careful because this is a mildly accident-prone day for you. On the upside, you might meet new people and discover original new ideas.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Keep an eye on your money today, because you might find money or you might lose money. In addition, guard your possessions against loss or theft.

YOU BORN TODAY You are

physical and fearless. Above all, you are a survivor. You take your work seriously, because you’re a first-class professional. And yes, you’re a perfectionist. This year something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish to make room for something new. Take it easy and learn to serve others. This is a good year to travel.

The number of days between games in which the Los Angeles Dodgers were no-hit.

National Digest

No-hitter LOS ANGELES — Jake Arrieta pitched the sixth no-hitter in the majors this season and second against the Los Angeles Dodgers in 10 days, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 2-0 victory Sunday night.

Arrieta (17-6) struck out a season-high 12 and became the first 17-game winner in the big leagues by throwing baseball’s third no-hitter in less than three weeks.

Astros righthander Mike Fiers blanked the NL West-leading Dodgers 3-0 on Aug. 21. Never before had Los Angeles been nohit twice in one season.

Arrieta got the benefit of a close call from the official scorer in the third inning, when Kike Hernandez reached on a fielding error by second baseman Starlin Castro.

Hernandez hit a one-hopper at Castro, who tried to play it on the short hop. The ball bounced off him and rolled away, allowing Hernandez to reach first.

The play was ruled an error but probably could have gone either way.

“I thought it was a hit,” Arrieta said. “Tough play. Hernandez hit it well. Tough short hop for Castro. They scored it an error, thankfully so, and I was able to finish it off.”

Day wins EDISON, N.J. — The toughest challenge Jason Day faced Sunday at the Barclays was convincing his peers that golf really isn’t this easy.

He’s just making it look that way.

Fresh off his first major at the PGA Championship, Day, 27, powered and putted his way to another blowout against a world-class field, capping off an explosive weekend at Plainfield with an 8-under 62 for a six-shot victory over Henrik Stenson.

It was his third victory in his last four starts dating to another close call at the British Open, where he left a 30-foot birdie putt short on the final hole at St. Andrews and missed out on a playoff by one shot. In his mind, that’s where it all changed.

Day shot 63-62 on the weekend and finished at 19-under 261. He won two weeks ago at Whistling Straits by three shots over Jordan Spieth with a record score to par at 20-under 268.

And the week after St. Andrews, he won the Canadian Open by one shot over Bubba Watson at 17-under 271.

LLWS champs SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — With more than 42,000 fans cheering against them, the Tokyo players found themselves down eight runs in the first inning of the Little League World Series championship game against Lewisberry, Pennsylvania.

That brought out manager Junji Hidaka’s inner Yogi Berra and sparked a record rally that saw the Kitasuna Little League pound out 22 hits in an 18-11 comeback victory in a battle of undefeated teams.

Penalties, Norwalk’s aerial attack sink Panthers, 26-7 Warriors extend 13-7 lead in 4th quarter

By LARRY PETERSON

head coach Ryan McKim. “It was a frustrating night.

With the type of offense we want to be, we have to stay ahead of the chains. We just didn’t execute tonight, but we’ll learn from it. We we’ll get our offensive identity figured out. We’ll be fine.”

In his American high school debut, Johannknecht was 10-of-19 for 101 yards for one TD and one interception.

Fullback Jackson Mikkelsen had two c a t c h - Johannknecht es for 23 yards.

Tailback Chase Shiltz rushed 20 times for 100 yards. Kolby Tomas carried four times for 52 yards.

Norwalk’s leading rusher was Coby Klocko with 60 yards on 14 carries. Brandsfield kept 12 times for 42 yards.

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

NORWALK — Junior quarterback Brady Brandsfield threw for 299 yards, including 122 on 13 connections to Tyler Schamel, and Zach Kreider kicked four field goals as third-ranked Norwalk defeated Creston/O-M Friday, 26-7.

The Panthers were hampered by 10 penalties for 77 yards, including a holding call on the team’s first offensive play — a long downfield pass completion from German foreign exchange quarterback Moritz Johannknecht to Chris Foster.

“Pretty much the first play of the game summed up the night,” said Creston/O-M head coach Brian Morrison.

“We would drive the ball, get good field position, then one time we’re third-and 40. We’re a good football team, but we’re not executing right now. We had way too many penalties. Way too many procedural issues in the game. We have to clean things up.”

The Panthers have another non-district opponent this week — at home against Clarinda, a 34-14 winner over Atlantic Friday — before opening district play against a Winterset team that started its 2015 campaign with a 20-9 win over Oskaloosa. Norwalk faces Winterset this week.

“The penalties helped us a ton,” said Norwalk coach Paul Patterson. “They had one drive that was going re-

ally well, and then penalties put them off schedule. They ended up third-and-42 or something on one of them.

That makes a huge difference. We had trouble finishing drives, but our kicker was hitting field goals.”

Kreider, in his first sea-

son as the Warriors’ varsity kicker, connected on field goals from 44, 33, 30 and 28 yards.

Brandsfield led Norwalk’s short, precision passing game by completing 26 of 44 attempts. He was intercepted three times, including

twice in the end zone and another time on the Panther 2-yard line. Kole Lovely had two of the interceptions and Kylan Smallwood had the other.

“Our defense had red zone stops,” said Panther offensive coordinator and co-

Schamel was a consistent target of Brandsfield, catching 13 of the 25 completions. Brandsfield had the short, possession passing attack clicking from the start, throwing for 101 yards in the opening period.

Devin Pirkle hauled in a 5-yard TD pass as Norwalk took a 7-0 lead with 3:54 left in the first quarter. Kreider’s 30-yarder with only three seconds left made it 10-0 at halftime.

Cline, Brown power Tigers past East Union

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

AFTON — Lenox and East Union had a number of explosive plays in their game here Friday, but it was Lenox that came out victorious, 56-18.

One year after seeing a 36-14 halftime lead evaporate into just a 36-32 win, the Tigers didn’t slow down in the second half.

Lenox led 28-12 at halftime, as Jared Hensley scored on a 44-yard pass play from Carson Cline with just :04 left in the half.

Lenox went on to outscore East Union 28-6 in the second half. The game, originally scheduled to be played in Lenox, was moved to Afton because of construction being done on the Lenox track and football field.

Tiger quarterback Carson Cline finished with 105 rushing yards and 267 passing yards, scoring a combined Cline s e v e n touchdowns to lead Lenox to victory.

“Oh my gosh, I knew he had a few yards throwing the ball, but I didn’t realize he had 267,” Lenox head coach Allen Dukes said.

“He just played a heck of a ballgame. That’s what a senior leader should be doing, is leading the team.”

East Union managed to hold Lenox’s running backs in check, as Hensley and Sam Donaldson combined for just 53 yards on 22 carries on the ground.

But Cline was able to take advantage of the Eagles keying in on the running

backs to get big yardage in the option run game.

“They did a nice job running their option,” East Union co-coach James Hardy said. “Have to give credit where credit is due. Their coaches really had them coached up in the option.

He (Cline) did a good job running the read pitch.”

Cline completed 9 of 17 for his 267 yards, with five touchdowns through the air.

Hensley caught three passes for 133 yards and two touchdowns. Donaldson had a 64-yard touchdown catch, while Hensley added a 65yard touchdown in addition to his 44-yarder at the end of the first half.

Brown returns

The Tigers opened the scoring with 9:53 left in the second quarter when Spen-

cer Brown caught a 9-yard touchdown from Cline.

Brown was expected to miss the opener after undergoing offseason knee surgery, but was cleared to compete Friday morning.

His impact was felt in the game. Despite making just the one catch on offense, Brown finished with six solo tackles and six a s s i s t e d Brown tackles, including six solo sacks.

“When he was cleared Friday morning, it was a big positive,” Dukes said.

“A big boost, for not just him, but for the whole team.

He came out and he didn’t disappoint. He was all over the field. He made big stops on defense. He put a lot of pressure on their quarterbacks. He played a heck of a game for us for not having a lot of contact. I think he took it out on East Union for not being able to hit (during practice).”

East Union answered that first Lenox touchdown with a Clayton Miller 6-yard touchdown to cut the score to 8-6.

After Dillon Bennett caught an 11-yard touchdown from Cline, East Union answered with a 50yard touchdown pass from Ryan Collins to Mason Gossman with just :25 left in the first half, making the score 22-12.

But Lenox answered

quickly with Hensley’s 44yard touchdown.

Cline opened the second half with a 63-yard touchdown run, before East Union scored on a 47-yard pass from Sanden Cheers to Gossman, making the score 36-18.

The Eagles couldn’t climb any closer, however.

“I think that was pretty much the whole game for both teams,” Dukes said.

“We gave up big plays and they gave up big plays. We just took advantage of their mistakes. We played a pretty good ballgame all the way around.”

One cause for concern for the Tigers was the number of penalties.

2A top-ranked Albia rolled with five solo stops and Murray 44 “We needed to see this to Nodaway Valley 8 LAMONI — Nodaway Valley struggled from the first play of the game here Friday in a 46-8 loss to Central Decatur at Graceland University.

Central Decatur opened the game by kicking off and recovered a bouncing ball that Nodaway Valley failed to field.

The Cardinals went on to score 46 straight points to open the game, while holding Nodaway Valley to just 88 yards of total offense.

“We struggled on the offensive line early and did get better as the game progressed,” Nodaway Valley head coach Steve Shantz said. “We had matchup problems on the outside with their 6-4 receiver (Peyton Pedersen) and we had fundamental breakdowns on both sides of the ball.”

Pedersen finished with nine catches for 99 yards and three touchdowns for the Cardinals, while sophomore quarterback Carter Boothe threw for 198 yards and four scores.

Nodaway Valley’s lone touchdown came with 6:32 left in the game, as Jared Corder scored on a 40-yard run.

Corder Corder led the Wolverines with 58 rushing yards on three carries.

Defensively, Jackson Lamb had seven solo stops with two assists and two pass breakups. Sam Marnin added six solo tackles and two assists, while Ryan Jensen had four solo stops and two assists. Dylan Cornelison finished with six solo tackles.

Central Decatur amassed

Albia 36, Mount Ayr 6 MOUNT AYR — Albia’s running game with Carter Isley proved too much for Mount Ayr to stop here Friday in a battle of state semifinalists from a year ago.

Isley carried the ball 25 times for 107 yards and

to a 36-6 victory over Mount Ayr, a semifinalist in Class A last year.

After competing on a level playing field with the Blue Demons in the first half, Albia’s size and depth wore on the Raiders in the second half.

“That was a huge difference in the ballgame,” Mount Ayr co-coach Delwyn Showalter said. “We played with them in the first half and should have been tied. The second half, they started to come at us in waves and pushed us around quite a bit.”

Mount Ayr had a punt return for a touchdown in the first half, but it was called back because of a penalty.

Twice, the Raiders had good field position after turnovers, but after moving the ball, the drives stalled out.

Bryce Leshen added 75 yards and one touchdown for Albia, while Blake Bayer connected with Kyle Sinnott for a 51-yard touchdown.

Mount Ayr held Albia to less than 300 yards of total offense, but only accumulated 131 yards of offense itself.

Jacob Taylor ran for 49 y a r d s and Kyle D o l e c h e c k rushed for 48 to lead the Raiderettes.

T a y l o r Taylor scored Mount Ayr’s only touchdown on a 5-yard keeper with :19 remaining in the game.

Dolecheck intercepted a pass on defense.

Zach Murphy led Mount Ayr with two solo tackles and seven assisted stops, while Nick Wurster had two solo tackles and six assists,

three assists.

Cal Daughton, Logan Stark, Trevor Gooding and Rhett Murphy each finished with one tackle for a loss.

Taylor, Zach Murphy and Jed McCreary each recovered a fumble.

“We played with them in the first half,” Showalter said. “I certainly think that was encouraging. They’re ranked very high in Class 2A. We had to feel good about the way we competed with them the first half.

I thought our running game definitely showed some positive signs.”

Mount Ayr returns to action Friday at home against Shenandoah.

MURRAY — A 14-point lead in the third period faded as Murray fell to 1-1 with a 62-44 loss to a physical Mormon Trail team Friday night.

After a 30-30 halftime deadlock, the Mustangs moved in front 44-30. Mormon Trail then rallied, as some key Murray players were sidelined.

“Some kids cramped up,” said Murray coach Taylor Fulton. “It affected (running backs) Dustin Teals and Jack Jones, and Josh Barber. We’d already lost our middle linebacker, Zane Hatfield, with a dislocated finger in the second quarter. We had some freshmen playing against a physical senior class for Mormon Trail.”

Fulton said the three Mustangs suffering cramps had all taken hydration precautions during the week, but to no avail.

“They are in on everything we do, but they were off the field much of the second half,” Fulton said.

Quarterback Fisher Decker became a playmaker for the Mustangs Friday, partly out of necessity, com- Decker pleting 18 of 29 passes for 267 yards and three interceptions. He connected with Jones on a 42-yard touchdown pass, one for 33 yards with Teas and another for 28 yards with Bryce Keller.

Decker also carried 12 times for 31 net yards, including a 1-yard touchdown.

Teas added a 21-yard scoring run while netting 31 yards. Jones had 13 yards on

four carries, and returned a kickoff 73 yards for a touchdown.

Jones finished with 115 receiving yards on seven catches. Keller had two receptions for 93 yards. Teas caught seven passes for 37 yards and Tyler McMillen had a pair of catches.

Barber had a busy night defensively, securing 14 solo tackles and six tackle assists with a quarterback sack and two solo stops for losses.

Dylan Callstrom had six solo tackles and six assists, including three tackle assists for losses. Quentin Siefkas finished with six solo stops and four assists.

“Mormon Trail is a big, physical team and penalties really got us,” Fulton said.

“We had opportunities where we should have made stops, but a flag would come in late not related to the tackle.

Those are hard to overcome.

They ran the ball close to 80 times and passed it twice, I think. “ It was a 46-44 game until Murray, running short on time, went for it on fourth down and came up short, leaving Mormon Trail with a short field to add one of two late scores.

“We’ll get a few more guys back with us in the near future, and that will help,” Fulton said. “We already know we’re a better football team than last year. Fisher Decker is learning the offense and was able to make something out of busted plays Friday.”

Wayne of Corydon, a 7426 winner over Grand View Christian on Friday, hosts the Mustangs this week.

PANTHERS: Continued from page 5A

Norwalk outgained the Panthers 263-96 in the opening half.

Norwalk took advantage of a Panther fumble during a light rain early in the third period to give Kreider a chance for his 44-yarder to make it 13-0 with 9:04 left in the period.

Creston/O-M got on the scoreboard with 5:50 left in the third period. On fourthand-1 at the Warrior 8, Johannknecht faked a handoff to his rushing workhorse, Shiltz, and rolled out to his left on a bootleg. He lofted a pass high in the left corner of the end zone to 6-foot-4 tight end Colton Bolinger, Bolinger w h o caught it for the TD. “That’s a good red zone man coverage play,” McKim said. “Bolinger is a big guy and we have to find ways to use him. We executed it.”

Insurance scores

Holding a precarious 13-7 lead, Norwalk was able to make it a two-possession game when Kreider hit his third field goal of the game from 28 yards to make it 167. Then, his fourth from 32 yards made it 19-7 with 3:30 left.

Field position set up those three-point connections.

Lovely’s leaping interception gave the Panthers the ball at their own 2-yard line to thwart Lovely a Warrior drive after it was cut to 13-

7, but Norwalk’s defense forced Bolinger to punt from deep in his own end zone.

A.J. Tabatabai’s 20-yard punt return gave Norwalk an excellent opportunity again at the Panther 17.

An incompletion on thirdand-4 brought Kreider in for the 28-yarder.

Misfortune again struck the Panther offense on the next two possessions. A high shotgun snap led to a loss of 10 yards, and two more procedural penalties created a fourth-and-20 and a punt on the first one.

On the next one, Creston/O-M went for it on fourth-and-8 trailing 16-7 with only 4:59 left.

Trying to scramble against the pass rush closing in on him, Johannknecht lost the ball. Norwalk’s Orin Waters fell on it at the Panther 18. Three plays later Kreider connected from 32 yards to make it 19-7.

With Division I defensive end recruit Sonny Onken bearing down on him, Johannknecht was jarred on the release and Will Fraser picked off a high floater, returning it 45 yards for a touchdown and a 26-7 lead with 2:46 to play.

“Going up 16-7 was huge for us, because it was pretty shaky at just 13-7,” Patterson said.

“We stayed in it, then we felt we had to go for it on fourth down there in the fourth quarter,” Morrison said. “They scored three on that, and they picked us off and returned it to seal it. Against that offense you have to keep them in front of you and make them earn it, and for the most part we did that. They really didn’t have many big plays.

Norwalk is a good football team. That’s why we play

Returning starting center Cody Tanner did not play for the Panthers. He was in street clothes and wearing a protective boot after suffering a high ankle sprain in practice on Tuesday. His timetable for a return is two to four weeks, but he is scheduled for a follow-up exam on Tuesday.

QB debut

Both Panther coaches felt it was a satisfactory debut by Johannknecht, one of the top junior quarterbacks in Germany who has had three weeks to learn the Creston/O-M system.

Norwalk’s state of the art facility with large video board, booming sound system, turf field and the anticipation of an opening-night crowd created a big-game atmosphere for his in initial experience.

“This is one of the toughest environments to play in 3A, as far as the grandeur of the facility, the crowd size, and going against a really good football team that executes well,” Morrison said. “His eyes were wide. But he’ll be fine. It was week one for a lot of our new guys.”

TIGERS: Continued from page 5A

Lenox committed eight penalties for 80 yards.

“Another bright spot, we had no turnovers. That’s a positive,” Dukes said. “The only thing I could see that we really need to work on is our penalties. We had 80 yards on eight penalties. We can’t do that.

“Our running backs didn’t have a lot of room to work.

I told our kids Saturday, our running backs combined can’t have 50 yards. We need more than that.”

Gossman finished with 101 receiving yards for East Union on five catches, while Gabe Nixon added five catches for 63 yards and Miller had one catch for 35 yards.

Collins completed 7 of 12 for 133 y a r d s , w h i l e Cheers was 4 of 8 for 78 yards.

M i k e Ward led the Ea- Collins gles with 60 rushing yards on 16 carries.

“Once they started keying on Mike, we knew were couldn’t continue to hand off to Mike all night if we were going to move the ball,” Hardy said. “We started throwing in our short to intermediate passing game and moved the ball down the field. You put our big boys in space and they’re hard to tackle. It’s a very effective part of our game.”

Hardy said he saw positives from both of his quar-

terbacks in the game, and plans to continue employing a two-quarterback system.

“We’re going to continue to build on that,” he said.

“As we continue to see that improve and use it sooner in the game, that’s going to open up our ground game and we’ll get that balance Lenox had.”

Kyle Seales led East Union with 12 total tackles, while Bobby Hepner added nine. Beau Boswell finished with eight.

Coffee meeting brings awareness to Internet access

By BAILEY POOLMAN

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

A group of small business owners, employment organizations and concerned citizens attended a monthly open coffee Thursday at Adams Street Espresso to discuss how fiber optic communication will improve southwest Iowa communities.

Union County Development Association Director Wayne Pantini said the monthly coffees, including Pantini the one Thursday, are set up for citizens to discuss plans for their futures.

“It just provides an opportunity for aspiring business owners, existing business owners and innovators to share ideas and discuss burning topics,” Pantini said.

During the informal group meting, which occurs the fourth Thursday of every month, Bryan Nelson, director of operations at Interstate Communications, explained how upgrading the online fiber-optic infrastructure can benefit everyone in a community.

“It just ensures that they have the highest Internet speeds available to them so they’re not encumbered with slow Internet speeds or over-subscription to a data line,” Nelson said.

Interstate Communications, located in Emerson and Truro, installed fiber-optic cable along West and East Townline and North and South Elm streets, and plans to install it to parts of Highway 34.

Fiber-optic cables are used to transfer information from one place to another by sending it through an optical cable. These kinds of cables are used instead of copper wiring because they are capable of transferring information at a higher bandwidth and greater distance.

“Broadband is kind of like the 21st-century interstate system. That’s kind of how we connect to the rest of the world. We have better opportunities, better speed, better access,” Pantini said.

“We want to promote those opportunities to local businesses so that way, through a platform such as an open coffee, we can demonstrate there are opportunities out there.”

Currently, access in Creston is available for a regular Internet user. However, according to Pantini, once users start including things like video streaming and gaming into their daily activities, speed isn’t up to par.

“It gets to a point where if somebody wants to utilize a lot of data, ... that’s where the speed isn’t where it needs to be,” Pantini said.

“Anytime our communities have better access, higher speed, access to broadband, that’s something that we can promote to businesses and individuals.”

Unfortunately, one downside is this kind of access can be difficult outside of city

limits because of population density and return of cost to install fiber-optic cable.

Creston and Lorimor have easy Internet access, but in rural southwest Iowa where there is a lower population density, the cost to install the cable for the number of people using it may not add up.

“It is a major investment to install a cable, but once a cable is installed, the cable is good for 30-plus years. So, it’s a long-term investment,” Nelson said.

Currently, several cell phone companies in Creston, Osceola and Shenandoah have installed fiber-optic cable through Interstate Communications and use the cable for Internet access.

Pantini hopes to expand that kind of access to other local towns.

“Our next effort is to get better access into Afton,” Pantini said. “Union County specifically, this fiber connectivity in Creston just makes it another positive that we can market to the community that we have this available to us.”

Iowa Gold Star Military Museum to commemorate 70th anniversary of the end of WWII JOHNSTON — The Iowa Gold Star Military Museum will host a commemoration ceremony 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in honor of the 70th anniversary of the signing of the unconditional surrender by Japan, officially ending World War II. The public and media are cordially invited to attend this event.

The museum, located on Camp Dodge, 7105 N.W. 70th Ave. in Johnston, will feature four guest speakers for the event: Jim Vermeer, the son of Elmer “Dutch” Vermeer, a former Iowa state representative and U.S. Army Ranger who fought in Europe; Jerry Yellin, a fighter pilot who

fought in the Pacific theater; Ed Reed, whose uncle and cousin from eastern Iowa were fighter pilots in the European and China-Burma-India theaters; and Wayne Brown, a Marshall County farmer who fought in multiple battles during the European campaign.

Vermeer’s father served four-and-a-half years with the U.S. Army’s 2nd Ranger Infantry Battalion, V Corps, in the European Theatre of Operations. An engineer from Pella, Dutch Vermeer scaled the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc, France, to destroy an enemy gun emplacement as part of the D-Day invasion in June 1944.

The ceremony, which will honor the signing of the unconditional surrender

by Japan, will be 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in Johnston.

■

Yellin, 91, a Fairfield resident, fought in the Pacific and at Iwo Jima with the 78th Fighter Squadron as a P-51 “Mustang” fighter pilot. He went on to fly 19 missions over Japan, including the last combat mission there during WWII. He is author of four books and national spokesperson for the “Spirit of ‘45 Day.” Reed, a Marion native who lives in Omaha, will talk about the service of his uncle, William “Bill” N. Reed, and cousin, William

Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition confirms speakers for 15th annual fall dinner DES MOINES — Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz, former Gov. M i k e Huckabee, Gov. Bobby Jindal, former Sen. Rick Santorum, Trump and former Gov. George Pataki are all confirmed to speak at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition 15th Annual Family Banquet and Presidential Forum.

The dinner will be 4:30 p.m. Sept. 19 at the Paul R. Knapp Learning Center on the Iowa State Fair grounds

with the program starting at 5:30 p.m. Doors open at 4 p.m.

T h e e v e n t will attract a statewide audience of Iowa’s most pol i t i c a l l y Cruz active citizens. As in the last presidential caucus cycle, the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition serves a vital role in helping inform and mobilize faith-based voters in Iowa’s “First in the Nation” caucuses. This event will be another significant step for Iowa caucus-goers to gar-

ner information that will allow them to formulate their opinions on whom t h e y will support at the 2016 precinct caucuses.

T h e Santorum I o w a Faith and Freedom Coalition is a grassroots organization that works to educate and equip Christians for effective civic action and influence sound public policy that advances limited government, lower taxes and the sanctity of life and marriage.

Brown, 92, of Marshalltown, an infantryman during the European campaign, fought during the Normandy invasion, the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest, the Battle of the Bulge, and other engagements during WWII. President Harry S. Truman appointed Gen. Douglas MacArthur to head the Allied occupation of Japan

as Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers. For the site of Japan’s formal surrender, Truman chose the U.S.S. Missouri, a battleship that had seen considerable action in the Pacific and was named after Truman’s native state. MacArthur, instructed to preside over the surrender, delayed the ceremony until Sept. 2 in order to allow time for representatives of all the major Allied nations to arrive.

On Sunday, Sept. 2, 1945, more than 250 Allied warships lay at anchor in Japan’s Tokyo Bay. As the flags of the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and China fluttered above the deck of the U.S.S.

Missouri, just after 9 a.m.

Tokyo time, Japanese Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu signed the peace treaty on behalf of the Japanese government, followed by Gen. Yoshijiro Umezu, who signed for the Japanese armed forces.

MacArthur next signed on behalf of the Allied Powers as the Supreme Commander, Adm. Chester W. Nimitz signed the treaty for the United States, and representatives from all of the Allied nations signed the surrender document.

As the 23-minute ceremony ended, the most devastating war in human history, costing more than 60 million lives, was over.
