Be aware.

The railroad crossings at Elm Street and New York Avenue in uptown Creston will be periodically closed over the next four to six weeks. Why? Godbersen-Smith Construction of Ida Grove will be constructing medians which will increase safety at the two crossings.

This work is being done so the city can apply with Burlington Kruse Northern Santa Fe to be a Quiet Zone community. (See maps, right) Elm Street railroad crossing will be closed starting Thursday.

“A water main is being replaced Thursday on the south side of the tracks. Then removals near the Elm Street crossing and construction of new medians and curbs will begin starting Monday,” said Kevin Kruse, Creston’s public works director.

Next, New York Avenue crossing — along with Jefferson Street between Broad Street and New York Avenue — will be closed starting near Sept. 15.

Kruse made special note there will be about a two-week period where Elm and New York Avenue crossings will be closed simultaneously.

“We will all have to have patience to get through this,” Kruse said.

Kruse said — over the next month — drivers from Highway 34 would be better off using Sumner Avenue to access the uptown area via Adams Street.

“I’d just get in the habit of taking that route for the month of Sep-

road crossings.

“These medians must be within 12 feet from the tracks and curbs will be 8-inches tall,” Kruse said during a November 2013 interview with the CNA. “Nobody should be going around the stop arms now, but you do see people do it from time to time. These medians — with an 8-inch curb — will definitely stop cars from trying (to go around the arms) and trucks who try will have a mighty rough ride.”

Godbersen-Smith will also close several entrances/exits to parking lots along Elm Street and New York Avenue with new curb and gutter (Fig. B). The most noteable: The exit out of the restored Creston Depot parking lot on Elm Street will be blocked. (Fig. C) “We don’t want people making a left turn out of that exit,” Kruse said.

Kruse further explains the reason the city doesn’t want commuters taking a left turn is because one of the medians being constructed

by Godbersen-Smith will be a 12foot wide median down the middle of Elm Street. (Fig. D) The purpose of that median is to create a safety mechanism of just one lane of traffic for commuters northbound on Elm Street.

The one lane for traffic eventually turns into two lanes prior to stopping at the Adams/Elm intersection. (Fig. E) Perhaps the biggest change for commuters, once work is completed, will be Jefferson Street — from New York Avenue to Broad Street — will be one way westbound.

Currently, Jefferson Street has two-way traffic.

“Nothing will change for westbound traffic,” Kruse said. “Eastbound traffic will continue to yield at the Russell and Jefferson intersection, but instead of continuing on Jefferson, they will have to

“About my process. All this ... that made me weird.”

Coke said each piece of art is in the show for a reason and their placement was carefully selected.

“Even the food will be set up a certain way,” Coke said.

“I know it doesn’t mean anything to anyone, but there is a pattern that I know is there.”

One installation, titled “Migration Line,” runs the walls of the entire gallery is made up of 16 panels that measure a combined 840 inches. Coke said he is not a fan of birds, but is fascinated by patterns found in migration lines.

Other work in the gallery Coke created includes wooden sculptural pieces, a mixed media carpet portrait, images

“That boy just ain’t right.”

That’s what artist Chris Coke said he commonly heard throughout his life — from friends, family and strangers — from childhood into adulthood.

And, Coke’s mixed media show at Creston:Arts gallery this month reflects this theme of being different.

Display It was one year ago Coke decided he was going to take the ideas brewing in his head and put them on display at Creston:Arts gallery.

“I wanted to do a show that is about me,” Coke said.

A Quiet Zone is a system — where strict safety standards are met — so that train conductors don’t have to sound their whistle upon entering a city or traveling over a railroad crossing.

“It doesn’t mean they won’t sound their whistle,” Kruse said. “It just means they will only sound it if they have to or in emergency situations.”

take Broad Street.”

The reason Jefferson must be changed to oneway for one block is — according to safety standards — the curb must be at least 60 feet from railroad crossing. That curb protrudes enough that eastbound traffic would be obstructed. (Fig. F) The total cost to have Godbersen-Smith construct these safety standards is estimated at just short of $200,000. However, the city received a 90/10 grant from the federal government to pay for the construction meaning the city will only be responsible for about $20,000.

The point of the work be-

ing completed by Godbersen-Smith is to increase safety at both railroad crossings so the city can apply to be a Quiet Zone community.

“The train whistles for uptown businesses are so loud,” Kruse said, “that employees often times just have to stop conversation with the person they are on the phone with or talking to in person. A Quiet Zone would make life a little more pleasant for those people.”

Kruse couldn’t predict or give a timeline for when Creston will become officially become Quiet Zone community.

“This process has been so slow. I can’t even give you a good guess,” Kruse said.

Regents plans would affect admissions IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa’s three public universities should stop forming some hiring search committees in order to save time and should standardize their admissions applications and scores to make the process easier for students, according to recommendations unveiled Tuesday.

The Iowa Board of Regents said the universities will move to implement those three plans recommended by a consulting firm as part of an ongoing review designed to save money and improve efficiency. The board is expected to vote to implement the proposals next week during a meeting at Iowa State University.

“These three business cases are about customer service,” Jeneane Beck, a board spokeswoman, told reporters on a conference

call.

The plans were among 17 recommended following a review by Deloitte Consulting, which was hired earlier this year to scrutinize operations at the universities.

Regents, who govern the state’s three universities, have said they expect to save tens of millions of dollars in the coming years, improve services for students and save employee time.

OPINION

Fantasy football kick off and Pumpkin Days this weekend This year I put about as much preparation time into my fantasy football draft as Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager Jerry Jones does for the real NFL draft.

About 10 minutes.

Oddly enough, my teams ended up with more star power and depth compared to my inaugural season. I am not optimistic that I will get to brag about a fantasy football championship for the next year, but I am hopeful that I will not be one of the league’s bottom feeders.

I don’t know if I can say the same for the Cowboys.

I love sports, however I am not as invested in the fine details com-

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham associate editor

pared to some of my other friends.

I can’t tell you how many yards Marshawn Lynch is projected to rush this year and I have no idea if starting Russell Wilson over Cam Newton will result in a better chance of a fantasy point payout.

Fantasy football does help me pay attention and learn the importance of those figures and every week I find myself shaking my head at a poor management move on my fantasy roster.

But the main reason I got involved with fantasy football was to have another outlet for my friends and I to have friendly competition.

We do not wager away our salary on our matchups. Most of the time, we don’t even have a prize for the winner.

We have always been a competitive group, pushing each other to do better and placing a few goodnatured jabs when something does not go as planned.

By playing fantasy football, I also have a lot more to cheer about on game day.

The Minnesota Vikings have not had many exciting moments as a team, although Adrian Peter-

son’s individual accomplishments have been fun to watch. If they decide to tank against the Packers, I can spend my day channel surfing to see how my fantasy players are performing.

If the season goes well, I will make sure to keep everyone updated, especially the other guys in the league.

Pumpkin Days This weekend is Orient’s annual Pumpkin Days celebration. The fun kicks off Friday night with a 5K and mile walk followed by a performance from Brad Morgan.

Saturday has a plethora of activities from sand volleyball and the parade to vendors and great food served at the local churches.

The running event Friday night is a fundraiser for new Christmas lights for the city. There are more than 80 participants registered and race day registration is allowed.

It would be awesome to see the event surpass 100 runners and walkers.

Events like Pumpkin Days help keep the town’s spirit alive and give the younger generations a chance to see the community leaders in action.

If you get a chance, go help make Orient’s event a fun experience so today’s youth can build the positive memories that make them want to be tomorrow’s community leaders.

Letter to the editor

Thank you for the support From Tessa Hull, Creston’s Voice 199, local president of the Auxiliary of UTU Creston

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the great community members, friends, and family who came out to support two-man train crews Aug. 25. It

was a great group of people with signs showing support. It is wonderful to know that people care about others and care about what happens in their community!

Thank you as well to all who have signed the petition HR 3040!

On behalf of myself, the families, and the Union members, we would like to thank you all so much!

We like to hear from you!

Los Angeles parks filled up with people celebrating the start of Hispanic Heritage Month HOLLYWOOD - Happy Wednesday, everybody, and God Bless America.

The Seattle Seahawks opens defense of their NFL title Thursday, seven months after they beat Denver in the Super Bowl. They have a great defense. Peyton Manning has not yet developed a strategy to beat the Seahawks, fueling speculation that he’s presidential material.

USC Trojans served notice that Troy is back Saturday putting on a frightening offensive show while destroying Fresno State. Everyone got in the act. After the game the players dumped a vat of Gatorade on Coach Sarkisan’s head, and Josh Shaw saved him from drowning.

Lance Armstrong faces ninetysix million dollars in claims by the Justice Department this week for doping while taking U.S. sponsorship money. It’s worse. The worst part of the entire Lance Armstrong fiasco is for the rest of time having to the French telling us that we told you so.

The Pentagon reported that U.S. bombing helped to break an ISIS siege of a Shiite town in Iraq Monday. It was fate. America and Iraq are like Chris Brown and the West Hollywood Sheriff’s station, no matter how much time we spend apart, we always wind up back together.

Prime Minister David Cameron addressed Parliament and proposed stripping jihaddists of

British citizenship and visas. He vowed to protect British values f or generations to come. Meanwhile President Obama wages war like he’s afraid the enemy’s going to call Child Services.

Barack Obama admitted Thursday he has no strategy against ISIS in Syria yet. It became a partisan issue. Democrats say he just wants to get it right, and Republicans believe Obama will develop a strategy against ISIS when they threaten to decapitate the heads of his golf clubs.

Mitt Romney issued a statement Monday blaming President Obama’s inattentive foreign policy for the spread of ISIS in the Middle East. He was in La Jolla on the Labor Day weekend. Republicans in La Jolla celebrate Labor Day by giving work clothes to their children as gag gifts.

Los Angeles parks filled up with people celebrating the start of Hispanic Heritage Month on Monday.

It’s such a beautiful culture. Hotel ballrooms in L.A. are packed each weekend for the traditional Mexican family party for a girl on her fifteenth birthday, called the baby shower.

The Discovery Channel reported record-high viewer ratings for their annual Shark Week docu-

mentaries. The underwater action offers something for everybody.

Shark Week is great TV for people who either have a fascination for sharks or possess a psychopathic hatred of seals.

The Deutchebank Golf Tourney had Bill Clinton and Tiger Woods appear at their charity pro-am Thursday. They exchanged tips.

Tiger told Bill to take a fuller turn, and Bill advised Tiger to pace himself and to remember that the sport of adultery is bigger than any one athlete.

Governor Rick Perry began using his booking photo for his indictment on abuse of power charges as a campaign poster. It’s cocky. Nobody takes the charges seriously but just to be on the safe side, he spends one hour a day in Austin lobbying for stronger laws against prison rape.

The White House braced for a government shutdown this month.

It’s survivable. During the last shutdown, Air Traffic Control and National Guard stayed on duty, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was consolidated into the Department of Texas Birthday Parties.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Friday that America is no longer capable of being the world’s policeman. There’s evidence to the contrary. The same day Angela Merkel claimed the U.S. is no longer the world’s policeman, a survey showed Americans eat the most doughnuts.

BUSINESS/FARM Adair County Memorial Hospital’s renovation plans begin GREENFIELD — In May 2013 the Adair County Memorial Hospital’s Board of Trustees and executive officers announced the plan to renovate part of Adair County Memorial Hospital (ACMH) with a goal of maintaining high quality services in Adair County. The outpatient area, operating rooms, specialty clinic and registration areas are all being considered for renovation.

On Aug. 26, staff at Adair County Health System participated in a table top 3P project. The 3P project is the development of a three-dimensional cardboard model of the interior of the renovation, which is a product of the collective input of the people who work and/or utilize a particular area of the facility.

Previously a life-size 3P project was conducted by Adair County Health System staff.

After careful consideration, the scope of the project moved from adding on new space to renovating existing space for the operating room area. With the change, Adair

The goal of Adair County Health System is to keep the community informed as this project moves forward. Information will be released to the public throughout

the process. If you have any questions, contact Angela Mortoza, CEO of Adair Health System, at 641-7437234 or amortoza@adaircountyhealthsystem.org.

Northwestern Mutual recognizes Pals as finest intern The Zach Group affiliated with Northwestern Mutual is recognizing University of Iowa Pals senior Seth Pals, formerly of Orient, as the company’s top financial representative intern based on production.

Pals is being honored as an outstanding performer by building a strong financial practice and delivering consistent quality service to clients. Over the past year, Pals has achieved some of Northwestern Mutual’s most prestigious accomplishments including Impact 40, which recognizes interns who reach a production of 40 lives and exceeded that goal by ending the awards year with 77.55

lives. He was also one of 100 interns invited to attend Winter Camp placing him in the top .5 percent of Northwestern Mutual’s internship program out of 3,000-plus students. Pals was also a major contributor to the University of Iowa’s college internship team placing No. 1 in the country.

Each year, Northwestern Mutual’s internship program, which was named as having one of America’s “Top 10 Internships” 18 consecutive times since 1997 according to the 2013 Vault Guide to Internships, provides realworld opportunities for more than 3,000 full-time college and university students throughout the country. Since 1967, more than 30,000 students nationwide have participated in the company’s internship program.

Afton business awarded value-added producer grant DES MOINES — USDA Rural Development recently awarded a total of $434,410 in value-added producer grants (VAPG) to assist six rural Iowa producers and businesses. Nationwide, nearly 250 rural businesses received a total of $25 million in 2014 VAPG investments to help them grow, diversify and create

jobs in rural America by turning raw commodities into value-added products, expanding marketing opportunities and developing new uses for existing products.

Iowa Fresh Market near Afton was awarded a $41,297 grant to support expansion of marketing locally produced fresh produce and

vegetables.

“The funding we are announcing will have farreaching, positive impacts in rural communities across the country,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

“The investments will help businesses create new products, expand their operations, and support local and regional food systems. The

new Farm Bill expands this program to provide even more of these opportunities.”

Since 2009, USDA has awarded 863 VAPGs totaling $108 million. Twenty percent of the grants and 16 percent of total funding has been awarded to beginning farmers and ranchers. The 2014 Farm Bill increases

mandatory funding for the program from $15 million to $63 million over five years, while also reauthorizing an additional $40 million in discretionary funding.

The grants can be used for a wide range of purposes.

They can support local and regional food systems, further the development of the growing bioeconomy, and

finance the distribution of local and regional products.

This funding was made possible by the 2014 Farm Bill. The Farm Bill builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past five years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers.

This question gets a fair shake Dear Heloise: We got some new SALT AND PEPPER SHAKERS. One has a few tiny holes; the other has lots of bigger holes. Which one holds the salt? — Cynthia M. in Tennessee This is an interesting question, and one that comes in often! According to the Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum, it is your preference! There is no law that I know of, so don’t worry if someone tells you otherwise.

Since many people are watching their sodium intake, it is generally agreed that the shaker with fewer holes is for salt. The other thought is that because salt flows more easily than pepper, it should be placed in the shaker with smaller holes, so the pepper has the larger holes to come out of. Bottom line, though, is that it is your decision — unless you buy shakers that are clearly marked “S” and “P,” saving you from having to decide anything. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

One half at a time can easily be separated from the rest and toasted as needed. — L.N. in Maryland TOMATO JUICE Dear Heloise: Could you please tell me the ratio of water to tomato paste when attempting to make tomato juice?

ou’ve probably heard that eating seafood rich in hearthealthy omega-3 fatty acids can help protect against heart disease while delivering other important nutrients. In fact, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends eating seafood twice a week for such benefits. Salmon is one fish longheralded for its nutritional value, and Alaska canned salmon offers a convenient way to add more deliciously nourishing seafood to your diet.

Whether your tastes lean toward a traditional croquette drizzled with a light dill sauce, or a refreshing take on a pesto pasta salad, canned salmon is easy to prepare and surprisingly versatile.

Because canned and pouched salmon is shelf-stable, you can always have some on hand for a quick, tasty meal or flavorful snack. At the grocery store, simply look for “Alaska” on the lid or label to ensure a top-quality, wholly natural product with nothing added but a pinch of salt for flavor.

These recipes showcase how Alaska canned salmon can be adapted to a wide range of meals and lifestyles, from the indulgent to the über-healthy. For additional preparation tips and recipes, visit www.wildalaskaseafood.com.

The Many Benefits of Salmon ■

■

■

Alaska canned pink salmon has four times the omega-3s EPA and DHA, and 12 times the vitamin D as many popular canned meats and fish. It also has 25 percent of adults’ Recommended Daily Allowance for calcium and nearly meets the daily reference amount for selenium.

Traditional pack canned salmon contains skin and delicate, edible bones that are rich in calcium and magnesium.

Pressure-cooked in the can, they are so soft they can be easily blended into the salmon, adding extra nutrients and flavor. Skinless, boneless Alaska salmon is also available in cans and pouches.

Pink salmon — the variety commonly found in cans — has a light color and mild flavor, while red salmon (or sockeye) has a richer, more intense flavor and color.

Panthers open with 3-0 sweep Norwalk falls in three after early challenge

National Digest

Suspended ENGLEWOOD, Colo.

—The Denver Broncos will be without Wes Welker for the first four games of the season after the NFL said the receiver violated the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy.

Normally, the league announces such violations on Monday. News of Welker’s ban didn’t come down until late Tuesday, after the league offices had closed and the Broncos had already finished drawing up blueprints for their opener against Indianapolis, undoubtedly with Welker playing a prominent role.

ESPN first reported Welker’s suspension, saying the violation had to do with amphetamines.

Welker told the Denver Post in an email that he was “as shocked as everyone at today’s news.”

He noted he’s meticulous about what he puts in his body and would “never knowingly take a substance to gain a competitive advantage in any way.”

The 11th-year pro who’s been the NFL’s top slot receiver over the last decade added that he never concerned himself with the league’s drug rules but now realizes those policies “are clearly flawed.”

New team DALLAS — The Dallas Cowboys are planning to bring in free agent defensive end Michael Sam for a physical on Wednesday, according to ESPN. If Sam passes the exam, the Cowboys will sign him to the team’s practice squad.

The Rams drafted Sam out of Missouri in the seventh round in this year’s NFL draft. St. Louis cut him on Saturday and he cleared waivers on Sunday.

During his pre-season campaign, Sam had 11 tackles and three sacks. He finished with a team-high six tackles in the Rams’ final preseason game against the Miami Dolphins.

Sam was named the SEC defensive player of the year for 2013.

A&M jumps NEW YORK — Texas A&M makes a big jump in the AP Top 25 after the most impressive performance of the opening weekend of college football. Florida State and Alabama lost some support in the first poll of the regular season after close victories against heavy underdogs.

The Aggies moved up 12 spots to No. 9 in the poll released Monday.

Texas A&M began the post-Johnny Manziel era with a 52-28 victory at South Carolina. The loss dropped the Gamecocks from ninth to No. 21.

The top four in the rankings are unchanged: Florida State, Alabama, Oregon and Oklahoma.

Florida State went from 57 first-place votes to 46 after pulling out a 37-31 victory against Oklahoma State.

Alabama dropped 44 points in the media-panel voting after beating West Virginia. The Tide has one first-place vote. Oregon has five and Oklahoma two.

NORWALK — The Creston volleyball team has grown up.

A group that, for the most part, has been together two years in varsity play, showed its experience and variety of weapons in a 25-23, 25-18, 25-20 sweep of Norwalk in Tuesday’s season opener.

Coach Polly Luther started four seniors and two juniors, with a senior and two juniors providing the rest of the main rotation in the victory.

Setter Hanna Luther, a three-year starter, said confidence has grown entering the 2014 campaign.

And it showed in Tuesday’s offensive display, led by Natalie Mostek’s 17 kills and 10 by junior Sydney Dunphy.

Junior J e n n a Taylor had five Mostek kills and four total blocks. Marie Hood and Nicole Haley were also weapons at the net as Luther distributed the wealth by staying unpredictable with her sets.

Luther also kept the Warriors off balance with some quick sets over the nets to openings in the defense.

“I try to keep watching,

or base it on where they were the play before,” Hanna Luther s a i d . “ O u r w h o l e varsity has been playing t o g e t h e r H. Luther so many years, we’ve gotten more confi-

dent in what we’re doing.”

By the looks of set one, a sweep didn’t appear to be how this night would play out. Norwalk 6-foot2 junior Tori Van Velzen, 6-foot senior Sidney Logan and explosive sophomore Gabby Ridgeway formed a strong trio at the net that matched the Panthers point for point in the 25-23 battle.

With a 21-20 lead, Hay-

lee LaMasters served two points, including one on one of Mostek’s eight solo blocks. After a Norwalk error, Mostek then fired a cross-court kill to make it 24-22, and her kill finished off the 25-23 set.

“Mentally, it was kind of a big deal to get that first one,” coach Luther said.

“We gained that confidence that made them feel, we can do this.”

During a timeout, coach Luther reminded the team to stay on the offensive.

“We had our spells where we played kind of conservative, or what I like to say, ordinary,” she said. “I said (to Hanna), ordinary lets them set up whatever they want on the other side to defend us.

Our hitting depth is good.

We need to stay on the offensive.”

The Panthers were also 100 percent at the service line, giving away no points on errors, including aces

by Dunphy, Mostek and defensive specialist Alyssa Higgins.

Higgins was busy on serve receive, finishing 10-of-14, while libero Alli Thomsen was 7-10. Mostek, in a strong all-around debut to her senior campaign, was 8-13 receiving serves. Thomsen had a team-high eight digs and LaMasters had five.

Coach Luther was hardpressed to identify a single factor that most impressed her.

“I’d have to say the whole package,” she said.

“Just the way that every single one of them came out and fought, and communicated. We had some girls who had been doing some good things in practice, come out and show that tonight.”

volleyball Rhoads to Cyclones - ‘Move on’ Mount Ayr Area 3, Pleasantville 3,

By JIM NELSON

Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier

AMES — Some of his first words following Saturday’s disheartening 3414 loss to North Dakota State was to move on.

Monday, Iowa State head football coach Paul Rhoads repeated those sentiments saying the focus has to change to this Saturday’s opponent, Big 12 foe and 20th-ranked Kansas State at Jack Trice Stadium.

“It is a matter of getting focus back and moving on to the next game, the next task and next p r e p a r a - Rhoads tion and we will do that,” Rhoads said.

It just happens the next game, the next task will come against a conference foe which is coming off a 55-16 demolishing of Stephen F. Austin last week.

Playing a conference foe this early in the season is against the norm, but Rhoads said in the longrun it doesn’t matter.

“I don’t mind it,” Rhoads said. “All 12 games are hard and all 12 games count toward what our goal is and that is the postseason. Our conference record and conference victories are important ... and all victories are important.

“This is the next one and this one provides great focus for the second week of the season and we need it.”

The last time the Cyclones played a conference foe this early in the season was in 2002 when they faced Kansas in an Aug. 31

game, one week after they kicked off their season by playing Florida State in Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City as part of the Eddie Robinson Classic.

“It is a challenge to play a ranked team,” cornerback Nigel Tribune said.

“But it is time to forget about what happened last week and get focused on what is ahead.”

Taking a quick look back at what film showed from the NDSU loss, Rhoads said several things stood out.

“We tackled well,” Rhoads said. “We didn’t get off blocks very well and we didn’t get enough people to the ball. We allowed them on early downs to take advantage of things open to them and put themselves in too many short and medium manageable situations.

“Offensively, we didn’t perform well against man coverage. That is the change North Dakota State made after we were moving the ball well basically against a zone concept and we did not perform well against man coverage.”

BUNDRAGE OUT: Rhoads said an MRI confirmed that Quenton Bundrage suffered a torn ACL on the fourthplay of the game Saturday a g a i n s t Bundrage N o r t h Dakota State and the junior from Palmetto, Fla. will miss the remainder of the 2014 season.

The loss of Bundrage is a big blow to the Cyclones offense. As a sophomore Bundrage emerged as a goto guy for ISU leading the

team with 48 catches for 676 yards and nine touchdowns.

“He is a big-play maker witnessed by all the touchdowns he scored a year ago,” Rhoads said. “Quenton Bundrage was a very big part of our offense. He was in a lot of pain Saturday night physically and a lot of pain mentally right now.”

True freshman Allen Lazard will start in place of Bundrage, with redshirt freshman D’Vario Montgomery, a high school teammate of ISU’s starting quarterback Sam Richardson, moving into the No. 2 slot at the X-reciever position.

FARNIOK WILL PLAY: Senior center Tom Farniok who was injured early in the second quarter of Saturday’s game will play against Kansas State.

Farniok, a four-year starter who has made 36 career starts, suffered a MCL strain, the same injury he suffered in the Cyclones’ season-opener last season against UNI that forced him to miss at least one game.

“Tom is as tough as they come and he will get out there and play through it,” Rhoads said.

Rhoads said Farniok told team doctors that the injury he suffered against NDSU doesn’t hurt nearly as bad as it did after last year’s injury.

Rhoads added he isn’t worried that it will be a nagging injury for Farniok unless he were to get hit in the right fashion, again.

Federer, Monfils set up quarterfinal match at U.S. Open

By BILL DWYRE Los Angeles Times

NEW YORK — The best result of Tuesday’s action at the U.S. Open was that victories by Roger Federer and Gael Monfils will put them on the same tennis court in two days.

That should be good for tennis.

Everybody knows Federer, the No. 2-seeded player here and the consensus best-ever, with his 17 major titles. He beat a rising Spaniard in the fourth round Tuesday night, dispatching with his usual ease No. 17 Roberto Bautista Agut, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2.

Not everybody knows Monfils, a veteran and talented Frenchman, who is so

nimble, athletic and creative on the court that his success, over 10 years on tour, often gets lost in the shadow of his skills and antics.

Tuesday, No. 20 Monfils beat future star Grigor Dmitrov, the No. 7-seeded Bulgarian, 7-5, 7-6 (6), 7-5.

Afterward, Monfils called Federer “the best player ever” and said that playing him will be special and something he can tell his children. When informed of that, Federer shook his head, grinned and said, “I hope the match will be memorable then, especially for his unborn children.”

The other quarterfinal in the bottom half of the men’s bracket will match No. 6 Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic and No. 14 Marin

Cilic of Croatia.

Berdych took only 1 hour 38 minutes to oust No. 45 Dominic Thiem of Austria, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4. Cilic had a much tougher battle with No. 26 Gilles Simon of France. On yet another day of stifling heat and humidity here, Cilic and Simon soldiered on for 4 hours 13 minutes before Cilic prevailed, 5-7, 7-6 (3), 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. Cilic hit 23 aces and 70 winners.

The Wolverines picked Nodaway Valley 12 GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley’s Coach Daut Kickoff Classic here Friday was spoiled by Central Decatur in a 33-12 loss.

Nodaway Valley honored the 2006 team. The late coach Bob Daut won his 200th career game with that team, his final season at the helm.

Central Decatur built a 26-0 lead by halftime, before Nodaway Valley cut the lead to 26-12 with a 2-yard touchdown run by junior quarterback Jackson Lamb and then a 33-yard touchd o w n pass from Eblen L a m b to Zach Eblen.

But the Wolverines were never able to inch closer, as Central Decatur scored the final touchdown of the game for the final 33-12

Damage: Creston Police officers Jason Catrenich and Melissa Heatherington, above left, help emergency personnel during a motor vehicle accident 7:26 this morning at the intersection of

Summit and North Lincoln streets. No citations were issued after the accident. According to a Creston Police report, Tanner Lucas Webb, 18, 606 S. Bureau St., driving a 2007 Chrysler north on North Lincoln, lost control of the vehicle and struck the rear driver’s side of a legally parked 1998 Chevrolet, causing Webb’s vehicle to flip onto its top. Witnesses said Webb was traveling on the wrong side of the road, overcorrected into the correct lane and struck the parked Chevrolet. Webb said he tried moving over into his lane as other vehicles were traveling south on North Lincoln, and when he overcorrected, he moved too far into the lane and struck the parked Chevrolet. Webb said he was traveling approximately 35 miles per hour. Webb was transported by ambulance to Greater Regional Medical Center, where his condition is unknown at this time. Damage estimates are $5,000 to Webb’s vehicle and $4,000 to the parked Chevrolet.

Iowa settles lawsuit in movie incentive scandal Netherlands king to attend ethanol plant opening DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa has settled a lawsuit stemming from the suspension of a tax incentive program for movies to be made in the state.

The Des Moines Register says the payment of a little more than $2 million will settle claims involving three movies: “When

September Ends,” ‘’Lucky,” and “Underground.” Anthony Gudas, of Providence, Rhode Island, had said his company invested in four film projects based on state contracts, but the tax credits were never paid. In October 2013 the state agreed to pay $225,000 to settle part of the lawsuit for one of the four

movies, “2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams.”

Iowa suspended the movie incentive program after an audit uncovered $26 million in credits were improperly issued by the state Economic Development Department. Seven people eventually were convicted.

DES MOINES (AP) — The opening of one of the nation’s first commercial size cellulosic ethanol plants is drawing royalty along with top federal and state officials to Emmetsburg.

Project Liberty is a $250 million plant that will make 25 million gallons of ethanol a year from corn cobs,

stalks, leaves and other plant residue. It is holding a grand opening Wednesday to be attended by King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, and U.S. Department of Energy Undersecretary for Science and En-

ergy Michael Knotek.

The project is a joint venture of Sioux Falls, South Dakota-based ethanol-maker POET and Royal DSM, a Netherlands biotechnology company.

The plant is among the first facilities of its size in the United States to make ethanol from plant material.
