Storms roll through Midwest with strong winds DES MOINES (AP) — A storm spotter was hospitalized in Iowa on Monday after he was struck by lightning while watching a system that left swollen rivers, power outages, trees down and campers overturned.

More strong storms rumbled through the Midwest on Monday night, with the National Weather Service saying a tornado was confirmed near Cedar Vale, Kansas. It also cited hail the size of pingpong balls. Thunderstorms elsewhere were bringing heavy rains and strong winds.

Two tornadoes hit in northern Michigan, the Detroit Free Press reported — one in Ostego County and another in Kalkaska County.

Crawford County Emergency Management Director Gregory Miller said the man was transferred to a Sioux City hospital where he was treated for his injuries.

Five travel trailers were overturned at Yellow Smoke Park, a county operated campground east of Denison.

The Labor Day campers found safety in a shelter at the park after being alert to the coming storm, Miller said.

No injuries were reported.

Winds of at least 70 miles an hour knocked down numerous trees and left limbs and other debris strewn about in Denison and Sergeant Bluff, where a few people were treated for minor injuries.

“This is the worst storm I’ve seen in 40 years here,” said Mayor Pro Tem Ron Hanson, the Sioux City Journal reported.

Outbuildings on two farms were damaged in Crawford County, Miller said.

Heavy rain estimated at about six inches in two hours caused flash flooding.

Some Iowa driving instructors have criminal record DES MOINES (AP) — At least 10 driving instructors licensed in Iowa have criminal records or driving infractions in their past, but they’ve been allowed to keep working with teens because of a forgiving state law.

The Des Moines Register reports at least three driving instructors have

drunken driving convictions, two have assault convictions and four have more than a dozen driving citations and other infractions.

Ever since 2010, state law has been more forgiving to driver’s ed instructors who are involved in accidents or have multiple moving violations on their

records.

“Our code has always given people a couple freebies,” said Mark Lowe, director of the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Motor Vehicle Division.

That doesn’t sit very well with Jean Feller, who Please see INSTRUCTORS, Page 2

make it a smooth transition,” Rink said.

Rink said she felt her experience in assisted living facilities made her a strong candidate. And, because of it, she has a lot of knowledge with how the operations work.

“I know the facility, the state regulations, the family members, the residents and how assisted living works,” Rink said.

Rink has been working toward her Bachelor of Science in nursing degree through an online program offered by Clarkson College in Omaha, Neb., however, she is now considering changing her focus to health care leadership and business administration.

discovered this summer that her son’s driver’s education instructor was using another instructor’s identity. The instructor had previously pleaded guilty to providing wine to student drivers in 2012, and he has been charged with identity theft.

“If they are teaching kids to follow the laws and the rules of the road, then they should be observing the rules of the road themselves,” said Feller, who lives in Oxford.

One of the instructors with numerous infractions on his record is Michael Gossen, who also serves as an associate principal at Mount Pleasant Middle School. Eight of Gossen’s 12 infractions are speeding tickets. Nine of Gossen’s infractions are over five years old.

“I had some events happen in my life that changed my perspective and behaviors, and I wanted to use that as a position of leverage for kids,” Gossen said.

“Because they’re well in my past, I think they provide good learning experiences for kids, too.”

Nationally, there isn’t a firm standard for driving instructor’s qualifications because each state determines what’s acceptable. But Sharon Fife with the Association of National Stakeholders in Traffic Safety Education says many states are more strict than Iowa.

And they should be clean.

If you’re a traffic safety professional, your records should be clean. Period.”

Many Iowa schools have hired private companies to provide driver education because of the expense and the challenges in finding certified teachers. So the schools rely on the companies to perform background checks on teachers.

“If it was economically feasible, we’d rather do it ourselves,” said Superintendent Mike Jorgensen of the Washington school district in southeast Iowa.

The state requires public schools to provide driver’s education.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. home prices rose in July but at a slower rate compared with earlier this year. The moderating price increases could help support sales.

Real estate data provider CoreLogic said Tuesday that prices rose 7.4 percent in July from July 2013. That was slightly below June’s year-over-year increase of 7.5 percent and far below a recent peak of 11.9 percent in February.

Prices rose 1.2 percent in July from June. But CoreLogic’s monthly figures aren’t adjusted for seasonality, such as increased buying that occurs in warm weather.

tor wasn’t something Rink was considering when she heard Bonebrake was leaving.

But, after administrators expressed interest in Rink, she gave it some thought and applied.

“I am so excited to be the new director and really enjoy it,” Rink said.

Rink said she is looking forward to continued community partnerships and fostering new relationships with businesses and professionals in the area.

“I will strive to maintain the great reputation we have had and continue giving great quality care,” Rink said.

Rink is married to Mark Rink and is the mother of Brittney Rink, 11, and Conner Rink, 10.

was 4.1 percent last week, the lowest in a year. And the number of available homes rose 3.5 percent in July to the most in nearly two years.

Greater affordability has helped housing recover over the spring and summer after sales and construction fell earlier this year. Sales of existing homes rose for a fourth straight month in July to their strongest pace in nine months. And a measure of signed contracts also increased in July, suggesting that final sales will rise further in coming months.

Home prices rose in 49 states in July from the previous year but fell in Arkansas, CoreLogic said.

Housing helped boost the economy in the AprilJune quarter, when growth reached an annual rate of 4.2 percent.

About 70 residents of a neighborhood in Missouri Valley were evacuated after water from the overflowing Boyer River broke through a levee early Monday two miles east of Missouri Valley near U.S. Highway 30.

A shelter was set up in the city of 2,700, but most people were staying with relatives or friends, Mayor Clint Sargent said.

It was unclear how long the evacuation would be needed but the river was receding, he said. Missouri Valley is about 24 miles north of Council Bluffs.

In Nebraska, Omaha officials said eight people floating down the fast-moving Elkhorn River abandoned their floating devices as the storm approached and walked through bean fields to the nearest road.

No one was hurt, but rescue crews said they were frustrated that people were on the river when they knew a storm was coming, WOWT television reported.

OPINION I thought I heard Buddy Bolden

NEW ORLEANS — Rain in New Orleans is different somehow than in other cities. Maybe it’s the year-long green of the magnolia and live oaks, their leaves polished to a spit-shine by a shower.

Or, perhaps it’s because of the ubiquitous music. Whether it’s a cooling sprinkle or a summer squall, rain blends with the wonderful sounds from open doorways and blasting boom boxes.

Rain here has rhythm.

My friend John and I set out in one of those atmospheric, rhythmic rains to see Holt Cemetery, a potter’s field near City Park that’s due to get a $450,000 renovation. On the day we visit, big lights already are being added, but so far anything new and expensive looks out of place in the overgrown, hectic field of bones and boxes.

This cemetery, established 1879,

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

was and is for the burial of the poor, mostly African-American citizens who don’t have anywhere else to spend eternity. Instead of the customary New Orleans aboveground tombs, most of these are in the ground. At least they were at first.

The dearly departed are buried in wooden caskets that rot over time, allowing families, if they wish, to reuse plots for generations. Many of the markers are hand-built with phonetic spelling.

People are gone, but not “furgotun.” Somehow the sincerity is

greater than in the most pristine perpetual care plots. More handwritten and hands-on.

There is a touching aspect to the haphazard array of graves in tall grass. In the (until recently) unkempt cemetery is ample evidence of routine visitors — toys, flowers, rocks and shells. You can’t walk far without stumbling across physical reminders that the dead here, though mostly poor, are loved beyond life.

John wants to show me the monuments for Charles Joseph “Buddy” Bolden. Bolden was the great cornetist who many say blew New Orleans’ various musical forms from the past into the future, a blend eventually called jazz.

Bolden died in 1931 and was buried in Holt, but nobody knows exactly where that grave is. Still, musicians make pilgrimages, looking

for inspiration and paying respects.

“The blowingest man since Gabriel,” Jelly Roll Morton said of Bolden. That’s quoted on one monument, the one thought to be near where Bolden was buried.

Across the way is the tomb of Jessie Hill, who died in 1996. If you don’t know the name, you might remember his classic: “Oooh Poo Pah Doo.” “And I won’t stop tryin’ ‘til I create a disturbance in your mind. ...”

An empty bottle of gin and some red, white and blue jetsam from July Fourth indicated recent visitors. Hill’s grandsons also are musicians, including Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, still making this great old city rock.

A popular city singer called Lips — of the rock-and-roll band Lips and the Trips — says she first visited Holt Cemetery on a Bike Pub

Crawl. “I’d always wanted to go there; Patti Smith announced one night at Tipitina’s that she went to see Buddy Bolden’s gravesite.” Or where it might have been.

And so they come, despite — or maybe partly because — the ghosts making music here no longer care about municipal regret, or socioeconomic standing, or weeds that reach your knees. They are jamming in a Better Place, still creating disturbances in our mind. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ...

Tiger Woods and Bill Clinton were guests of honor in Boston HOLLYWOOD--Happy Tuesday, everybody, and God Bless America.

Tiger Woods and Bill Clinton were guests of honor in Boston Thursday at a dinner before the Deutsche Bank Golf Championship pro-am charity. It’s only right this charity is supported by Tiger and Bill. All proceeds from the tournament go to the Boys Will Be Boys Club of America.

Hollywood royalty Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were married on Thursday in a ceremony in their chatueau in the South of France. The pictures were spectacular. Over one hundred guests attended the service representing twenty-nine countries and that was just their children.

Hurricane Marie hit Mexico and hurled big waves onto California beaches Friday. Surfers braved the riptides to ride the waves. Surfing legend Laird Hamilton rescued a boy from drowning on Friday and immediately afterwards he was offered a spot on the USC football team.

The Los Angeles Country Club was asked by the USGA to host the U.S. Open in ten years. It’s very restricted. One famous club guest who posed a problem was Senator Barry Goldwater, whose father was Jewish but his mother Episcopalian, so they allowed him to play the front nine.

President Obama attended fundraisers in Manhattan and Rhode Island over the weekend and spent Monday in Westchester at a Labor Day picnic. It used to be a day of

working class parades. Today Labor Day is a day when Americans take three days off from being unemployed.

An Arizona nine-year-old girl killed a gun instructor teaching her how to fire an Uzi. This on top of police shootings, school shootings, Chicago, hunting season and Raiders games. The difference between ISIS and Mexico is that the Mexicans have the courage to invade this country.

President Obama said Thursday he has no strategy to deal with ISIS, which alarmed security experts. His mood was jaunty. When reporters asked Mr. Obama to discuss the subject of the beheadings, he said he will be heading for the golf course right after the press conference.

President Obama wore a light summer suit on Thursday for telling the world he has no strategy now for battling ISIS. It doesn’t frighten the evildoers. To show how presidents stick together, George W. Bush phoned and offered to paint all of President Obama’s light suits gray.

Prime Minister David Cameron cut off his vacation early and raised Britain’s threat level due to ISIS Friday. And he wore a dark suit for the announcement. Now

that we know we can elect presidents who weren’t born in the United States he is leading in New Hampshire and Iowa.

ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared himself sent from God to establish the world caliphate Friday. He aired video of ISIS officers interrogating Western prisoners by waterboarding them.

History will mark this video as the day the Ice Bucket Challenges went too far.

Russia insisted that Russian troops had not invaded Ukraine Friday and Russian troops seen in Ukraine simply got lost on a beach vacation. They fear no backlash from Europe. The Russians are betting everything that the third time’s the charm is not an expression in Germany.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told ESPN he’s mad at himself for not drafting Johnny Manziel. He’s tired of paying good citizens to miss the playoffs. It just dawned on him that he’d make a lot more money off a SuperBowl win than it’d cost him to send Johnny Football to rehab every March.

The NFL announced a six-game suspension without pay on players for spousal battery and a one-year suspension without pay for a second offense. Some women worry that a league penalty will result in fewer reportings from women who don’t want to lose their rich lifestyle. Last night Ray Rice drove his Escalade into a tree, but the Escalade took him back this morning.

ENTERTAINMENT A tip for housekeeping Dear Readers: I have written about this Heloise travel hint before, but it’s time to mention it again. When staying in a hotel (especially for several nights) and using daily housekeeping service, it is nice to LEAVE A TIP. Be sure to leave a note with the tip so it goes to the right person. I usually write “For Housekeeping” and place it on a pillow, or sometimes on the dresser. This makes it clear that the money is for them. If I see the housekeeper with her cart on the floor, I try to say that there is something for her in my room.

Also, if you are there for several days, ask if the same person will be working when you leave. If you wait to tip until the end of your stay, it may be a different person from the one who has been taking care of your room.

Usually, I don’t use housekeeping, because I have enough towels. I sort of throw the covers up over the pillows and put my trash in the trash can. If extra shampoo or lotion is needed, I simply ask housekeeping to bring me a few, or I stop and ask the person at the housekeeping cart when she is on the floor. — Heloise

YOU BORN TODAY You are not always what you seem;

in fact, others are sometimes confused about who you really are. You are multitalented and patient, but you will not be pushed around. You often are ahead of your time. This is a year of growth and testing.

You might build or construct something this year. Do not make major changes — not yet.

The Numbers Game

11

The Phillies used 4 pitchers to complete just the 11th combined no-hitter in MLB history on Monday.

National Digest

No-hitter ATLANTA — On Labor Day, Cole Hamels and the Philadelphia bullpen spread the workload on a no-hitter.

Hamels and three Phillies relievers combined on the season’s fourth no-hitter, blanking the Atlanta Braves 7-0 Monday and giving a last-place team a rare reason to celebrate.

It was all the more unusual in that Hamels left the game with his bid intact after six innings. He was fine with the decision, too, having already thrown 108 pitches at a hot afternoon at Turner Field.

Hamels (8-6) struck out seven, matched a season high with five walks and hit a batter.

Relievers Jake Diekman, Ken Giles and Jonathan Papelbon each pitched a perfect inning to close out the 11th combined no-hitter in big league history. A smiling Hamels watched from the bench as they finished off what he started.

Cards win LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Dominique Brown’s 15-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and Gerald Christian’s 10-yard TD catch late in the fourth backed Louisville’s big defensive performance that helped beat Miami 31-13 Monday night.

The victory provided a successful Atlantic Coast Conference debut for the Cardinals and to Bobby Petrino’s second coaching stint at the school.

Despite the 18-point margin, Louisville showed little of the offensive efficiency expected in Petrino’s return as the Cardinals outgained the Hurricanes 336-244 in a ragged game offensively for both teams. Louisville’s new 3-4 defense provided the saving grace with three takeaways, including one that followed a costly fumble by Cardinals quarterback Will Gardner inside his 15.

After Louisville held Miami to a field goal following Gardner’s second fumble in the third quarter, Brown’s TD provided a 21-13 cushion.

Christian’s scoring pass from Gardner with 1:43 remaining sealed the win.

Corvin Lamb’s 97-yard kickoff return for a TD just before halftime provided the go-ahead score for Louisville, which had to withstand several Miami threats from there for a win that wasn’t decided until late.

Carr starts OAKLAND, Calif. — The Oakland Raiders have named rookie Derek Carr their starting quarterback, the team’s 18th different starting signal caller since 2003.

Carr will get the nod over veteran Matt Schaub, who is playing his first season in Oakland after spending the past seven seasons starting for the Houston Texans.

Carr, a second-round pick from Fresno State, completed of 11 of 13 passes for 143 yards and three touchdowns, including two one-play touchdown passes in a 41-31 win over the Seattle Seahawks in the preseason finale for both.

Panthers open with 10-point win Nielsen tosses two TD passes, runs for 103 yards

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

It was worth the wait.

The Creston/O-M Panthers got off to a 13-0 lead in defeating Norwalk 2717 Friday night at Panther Field.

The game was delayed 45 minutes prior to kickoff because of lightning in the area, and it did not end until 11:10 p.m. Intermittent rain showers fell during the game and made for some treacherous field conditions.

The freshman game was not held Friday. It was postponed until Monday at Norwalk, prior to the junior varsity game. Norwalk won the freshman game, 54-7, and scored late to seal a 23-12 JV victory. (See full reports in Wednesday’s News Advertiser.)

The first half was a defensive standoff, and Norwalk actually posed the first scoring threat in the second quarter. The Warriors drove 47 yards on 13 plays to the Panther 33 yard line. Norwalk placekicker Karson Olerich, who had a 48-yard field goal last year, tried a 50-yarder that fell short.

Conner Pals (2) and Chase Shiltz (24) set up a blocking wall for Tyson Tucker (3) after Tucker’s pass interception early in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Alex Nielsen scored on the next play on a 70-yard run to give the Panthers a 20-9 lead.

Nielsen dropped the shotgun snap on the turf, but it bounced back into his hands and he was able to complete the play.

“When the play breaks down, you just have to stay calm,” Nielsen said. “I’m

supposed to ride the back and kind of wait it out. It’s a post-wheel (route), kind of a long developing play anyway. He was wide open.”

Groumoutis didn’t even realize his quarterback had dropped the snap. He just knew the ball was coming to him over his left shoulder, perfectly in stride as he got

Lenox tops East Union in weather-shortened game

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

AFTON — “It was a weird ballgame. It was just really weird.”

That’s how Lenox head coach Allen Dukes described his team’s 36-32 win over East Union in “monsoon” conditions on Friday night.

When Dukes and the Tigers left the field Friday night, he didn’t think his team would be granted a win, as the two teams were called off the field with 5:23 left in the game because of lightning.

Lenox had bolted to a 22-6 lead in the second quarter before a 45-minute weather delay and led 36-14 at halftime.

But the Eagles scored 18 unanswered points in the third quarter to cut the lead to 36-32.

Neither team scored in the 6:37 of the fourth quarter that was played.

“When the officials stopped the game, it was suspended,” Dukes said. “I see

on the standings, they gave us a win and them a loss.

Yeah, it’s nice, but that’s not the way we wanted it to be done. I’m under the impression the state made the decision that it was a game with how much we had played.”

Lenox scored on its first possession of the game when Carson Cline connected with Josh Mitchell for a 30yard score. Cline added two more passing touchdowns in the first half — one to Jared Hensley and the other to Dustyn Rauch.

Rauch added two rushing touchdowns in the first half, as L e n o x built its 36-14 lead.

Rauch finished with Rauch 96 yards on 22 carries. Cline finished 8-of-16 passing for 122 yards.

“That first go around, before the delay, we were able to get to the outside on them,” Dukes said. “We ran our option play and ran

it well. Dustyn ran it really well.”

But halftime adjustments shifted the momentum in East Union’s favor.

“I felt like we came out and played a sluggish first half,” East Union co-coach James Hardy said. “Came back out and got our offense going. We ended up not finishing it, but the momentum was ours in the second half.”

Cole Campbell connected with Brandon Hulsey for a pair of long touchdowns in the second half and Jonathan Weis added a 67-yard touchdown run to draw the Eagles to within 36-32 at the end of the third quarter.

Campbell finished 3-of-6 passing for 166 yards, with all three passes going to Hulsey.

behind the Warrior secondary.

“McClain (Haines) runs a corner, and I’m supposed to go right off his butt and run a post,” Groumoutis explained. “The corner and safety both followed McClain, and I was wide open over the middle. It saw it coming and I knew I was go-

ing to score.”

With two minutes left in the half, linebacker Alex Tamerius recovered a fumbled Norwalk pitchout, giving the Panthers possession again. A quick drive covered 59 yards, with Seth Maitlen carrying on the final two plays for 28 yards and 1 yard. A fumbled snap on the extra point left the score 13-0 in Creston/O-M’s favor at halftime.

Four different backs carried the ball for the Panthers in the game, but the “Jumbo” formation during that drive featuring Maitlen was an effective changeup. The powerful 225-pound junior is in contrast to the shifty running style of tailbacks Conner Pals and Chase Shiltz.

“It’s like a power play if we need short yards,” said Maitlen, who played guard last year.

“Tamerius is a back with me and Jordan (Thompson) is at tight end. Maitlen It’s tough to stop.”

It didn’t take long for Norwalk to change the momentum after the secondhalf kickoff, however.

Fueled by Luke Greenslade’s kickoff return to the Panther 40-yard line, the Warriors mounted a touchdown drive on the first Please see PANTHERS, page 7A

Area football Albia 39, Mount Ayr 8 ALBIA — Mount Ayr wanted a challenge in its season opener, and that’s exactly what Class 2A No. 4 Albia gave the Class A 10thranked Raiders here on Fridady in a 39-8 win.

The Raiders turned the ball over seven times in the contest, leaving the defense in poor position several times.

“Our defense was on the field an awful lot,” Mount Ayr co-coach Delwyn Showalter said. “On a hot, humid night, that’s tough. When you’re going against guys as big and strong as they are, that’s tough. We certainly put ourselves in some bad situations, but on the other hand, we were able to force some turnovers.”

Mount Ayr forced four Albia turnovers, but didn’t convert those turnovers into points the same way Albia did.

Jacob Taylor, in his first start at quarterback, scored Mount Ayr’s lone touchdown in the third quarter on a 1-yard run.

The Raiders outgained Albia 93-10 through the air, but thanks to Carter Isley’s 197 yards on the ground, the Blue Demons outgained Mount Ayr 347-68 on the ground.

“Albia is a very good team,” Showalter said.

“They’ve got as fine a running back as we’re going to see all year.”

Riley Weehler and Joe Ricker shined on the defensive side of the ball for the Raiders.

Weehler recorded 18 total tackles before leaving the game with a knee injury.

Ricker recorded 11 total tack- Weehler

possession to close it to 137. Cory Harding scored on a 2-yard run.

Defensive stand Creston/O-M maintained that margin with a key goal line stand at the end of the third quarter and start of the fourth, as Norwalk quarterback Brady Brandsfield was stuffed on a fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line. The Warriors had first down at the 5-yard line, but were denied on each attempt, all on the ground.

“For me personally, that was one of my favorite things of the night,” said Maitlen, who collected a team-high 17 tackles, including five solo stops. “They started out inside our five, we were able to stop them.”

However, Panther quarterback Alex Nielsen was tackled in the end zone on the next play, closing the margin to 13-9.

Then came what might have been the game-saving play, considering the circumstances.

As Norwalk was driving for the go-ahead touchdown, Panther defensive back Tyson Tucker stepped in front of Greenslade for an interception, setting up Nielsen for a 70-yard run on a keeper. That made it 20-9 with 7:07 left in the game.

“I read that he was going to the post and just stepped in front of it,” Tucker said.

“I don’t know how many times it took me to catch that ball. I bobbled it about

three times, I think. Then Nielsen made a heck of a play on the next one.”

Panther summary

Breakaway run Nielsen’s quarterback keeper was set up perfectly on the right side. He only had to high-step and shuck one would-be defender on his way to the 70-yard TD. It helped him become the team’s rushing leader for the day with 103 yards on seven carries.

“I have to be patient on that play and let it develop,” Nielsen related. “I ride the back for a second and wait for the hole to open up. I saw a huge hole.”

Nielsen also completed 8-of-15 passes for 92 yards without any interceptions.

“I think we showed what we could do,” Nielsen said.

“We just have to cut down on the penalties and a few mental mistakes.”

An interference penalty against Creston/O-M on fourth-and-11 gave Norwalk new life on its next drive, and Brandsfield then found Justin South for a 39-yard touchdown. A two-point conversion pass shaved the Panthers’ lead to 20-17.

Creston/O-M responded with an 80-yard scoring drive to go ahead by two scores. Nielsen found McClain Haines open on an out route to the left for a 17yard touchdown, with Pals’ kick making it 27-17 with 2:02 left in the game.

“We ran a stack,” Haines said. “I run a corner on that play. I saw they were in cover one. I looked at Alex and

I was like, we’re going to score right here. I couldn’t ask for a better ball. He put it right on the money.”

Creston/O-M edged Norwalk in total offense, 338 yards to 332. But, the Panthers were flagged 14 times for 155 yards, while Norwalk was assessed 14 violations for 110 yards, which partially explains the late conclusion of the contest.

On defense, Jones had 17 tackles and two fumble recoveries. Sophomore Joshua Barber had 12 tackles at middle linebacker. Mason Simmons and Dustin Teas each had 10 tackles.

“The team played very well despite the final outcome,” Fulton said. “I believe that this is a game that we can build from as it will serve as motivation to ste the tone for the season in the coming weeks.

We were able to move the ball and played some great defense as a team. having such a young team — eight sophomores played in large roles — playing a very tough schedule will be very beneficial to these players as they continue to grow into their roles.”

162 yards and one touchdown on 20 carries, while Tyler Bissell and Chance Cobb each McCuen punched in two scores on the ground.

“We had a really good night,” Casagrande said.

“I was really happy with the execution on offense. I thought we moved the ball really well. Defensively, we made a ton of improvement from what we showed at Clarinda in our scrimmage.”

Casagrande said the play of the offensive line was key in getting the running game going.

Cobb, the freshman quarterback had an efficient g a m e , completing 7 of 8 passes for 23 yards.

His lone Cobb incompletion was an interception.

“He really did a good job,” Casagrande said. “He did a couple of things, where one time he scooped hte ball off the ground on a bad snap in shotgun and we ended up getting 5 yards on the play instead of losing 5 yards. He did a lot of little things like that throughout the night.”

Defensively, junior Tony Klocke led the way for the Timberwolves with eight total tackles. Senior Ryan Carlson added seven total stops. Tyler Means, Sammy Ritchie and Jerad Shires

RACING Update

After inconsistent NASCAR season, Kahne finds new hope with Atlanta

By JIM UTTER

The Charlotte Observer

HAMPTON, Ga. — Win and you’re in.

NASCAR’s new Chase format sounds simple enough.

Well, Kasey Kahne finally won, and he hopes he’s far from done.

Kahne powered around Matt Kenseth in the second two-lap overtime to win Sunday night’s Oral-B 500 at Atlanta Motor Speed- Kahne way and clinch a spot in the championship Chase with his first Sprint Cup Series victory of the season.

“I just kept saying, ‘I have to win. I have to win Sunday night.’ That was, it was all that I could think about,” said Kahne, who earned the 17th win of his career.

“I knew Atlanta was a better opportunity for myself to win at than (next weekend’s race at) Richmond. I feel better here than I do at Richmond.”

Kahne and his No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports team

have been widely inconsistent this season, and without a victory it looked as if they would sit out this season’s battle for the series championship.

Kahne appeared to be the odd man out at Hendrick as his three teammates — Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. — each has three wins so far and were Chase locks.

“When I came off Turn 4 and I could see the checkered (flag). Right there is the first time I knew I was in the Chase, and it’s such a relief,” he said. “I have the best teammates, and Mr. (Rick) Hendrick gives us everything that we need.

“Up until now we weren’t going to be in the Chase, and that hurt.”

Both Kahne and his crew chief, Kenny Francis, hope Sunday night’s win presses a restart button of sorts on their season.

“As s a team, we put it together tonight,” Kahne said.

“We can just build off of it. Hopefully, we can build some confidence, some momentum, and go into Richmond and even get better.”

Francis was happy just to catch a break.

“It’s been a rough year for us, as we all know,” he said.

“We have had a lot of good cars and just seems like nothing goes our way.

“We have been working hard, just we have been kind of under the limelight. So, finally we broke free.”

Kevin Harvick dominated most of the race, leading a race-high 195 of the 335 laps, but Kahne took the lead for the first time on a late restart on Lap 303.

He did a surprisingly good job at keeping Harvick at bay and appeared to have the race won until with two laps remaining when a wreck between Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. brought out a caution and sent the race into a two-lap overtime.

Another wreck on the restart forced a second overtime, and Matt Kenseth led on the restart. Kahne made short work of Kenseth and his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin to take the lead and earn the win.

“Kasey did a heck of a job on the last restart when he went through the middle,” team owner Rick Hendrick said. “He started fifth and went through the middle.

That was a race-winning move.”

Hamlin finished third, Jimmie Johnson fourth and

Carl Edwards fifth. Gordon continues to lead the series standings with a 21-point advantage over secondplace Earnhardt.

Tony Stewart appeared in his first race since his involvement in an Aug. 9 incident at a New York dirt track that left driver Kevin Ward Jr. dead.

Stewart started 12th and ran in the top-five before he was involved in two accidents, the second of which sent Stewart him to the garage after 170 laps.

“Not the end of the day that we wanted,” said Stewart’s crew chief, Chad Johnston. “We thought we had a shot at winning and with two races to go to get into the Chase this was one of the two chances obviously left to get it done.

“We will just have to lick our wounds and go on to Richmond.”

ACS rained out again CORNING — Conditions were too wet to race again Saturday at the Adams County Speedway.

Unrelenting rains all week long left the facility too muddy to race, but ACS officials have made a few changes so that, hopefully, there will be some SLMR action in Corning yet this summer.

The SLMR Late Models have been rescheduled

to Saturday, Sept. 6. The purse of $2,000 to win R&S Auto Championship Night has been moved to Saturday, Sept. 13.

Due to the cancellation of the Tiny Lund Memorial race in Harlan, the date is now open and will be a NASCAR point night.

The 17th Annual NAPA Tradition will end the season on Sept. 20.

Creston News Advertiser Tuesday, September 2, 2014

PEOPLE/NEWS

Stewart says Ward’s death will affect him forever HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Unshaven and with a quivering voice, NASCAR superstar Tony Stewart said the Stewart death of Kevin Ward Jr. will “affect my life forever” as he returned to the track Friday for the first time since his car struck and killed the fellow driver during a sprint race in New York three weeks ago.

Stewart read from a statement that, his team said, he wrote himself. He spoke just under 2 1/2 minutes, pausing several times to compose himself. He took no questions about the incident that it still being investigated by law enforcement officials.

“This has been one of the toughest tragedies I’ve ever had to deal with, both professionally and personally,” Stewart said in a packed media room on the infield at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

“This is a sadness and a pain I hope no one has to experience in their life. That being said, I know that the pain and mourning that Kevin Ward’s family and friends are experiencing is something that I can’t possibly imagine.”

He mentioned Ward’s parents and three sisters by name, saying he wanted them “to know that every day I’m thinking about them and praying for them.”

The brief news conference presented a much different side to the brash driver known as “Smoke,” whose explosive temper has led to

clashes with the media and fellow drivers. Wearing a black polo shirt and blue jeans, Stewart delivered his 285-word statement in a quivering tone, his eyes moist.

He skipped three races after Ward’s death, going into seclusion at his rural Indiana home. Stewart’s team said he needed time to grieve, and some questioned if he felt guilt over the crash.

During an Aug. 9 sprintcar event in upstate New York, Stewart and Ward’s cars appeared to bump while racing into a turn, sending Ward’s car spinning. The 20-year-old Ward climbed from his wrecked machine and wandered onto a darkened track in a black racing suit, apparently wanting to make his displeasure known to the three-time NASCAR champion. One car appeared to swerve to avoid Ward, but he was struck by the back right tire of Stewart’s car.

“I’ve taken the last couple of weeks off out of respect for Kevin and his family and also to cope with the accident in my own way,” Stewart said. “It’s given me the time to think about life and how easy it is to take it for granted. I miss my team, my teammates and I miss being back in the race car, and I think being back in the car this week with my racing family will help me get through this difficult time.”

The 43-year-old Stewart pulled out of the race at nearby Watkins Glen the morning after Ward was killed, and then skipped events at Michigan and Bristol.

DISCOVERY

Yes, insurance companies can legally pay you less that what you are owed and do not have to tell you the truth. Many injured workers fail to learn the Injured Workers Bill of Rights which includes: 1. Payment of Mileage at $.56 per mile 2. Money for Permanent Disability 3. 2nd Medical Opinion in Admitted Claims. . . . A New Book reveals your other rights and much more so you do not get ripped-off.

Iowa Work Injury Attorney Corey Walker offers his book at no cost because since 1997, he has seen far too many hard working Iowans who did not know their rights treated badly by insurance companies. If you or a loved one have been hurt at work and do not have an attorney claim your copy (while supplies last). Call Now (800)-707-2552, ext. 311 (24 Hour Recording) or go to www.IowaWorkInjury.com. Our Guarantee- If you do not learn at least one thing from our book call us and we will donate $1,000 to your charity of choice.
