ORIENT — The town of Orient will be booming with familyfriendly activities this weekend as they celebrate Pumpkin Days.

This annual event, which started in the 1920s as a community celebration held in October, has seen many changes, most notably growth.

“The 5K has really turned into something,” Frederick said. “It started as a dozen people that went for a walk and now its a huge deal.”

The proceeds of the Pumpkin Days 5K run/walk go toward the purchase of new holiday decor for the city. Frederick said the

current decor is more than 40 years old and falling apart.

The greatest benefit of all is this event benefits local organizations.

By BAILEY POOLMAN CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews. com

When people imagine things related to dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, most will think of the elderly population.

Some, on the other hand, think of the younger generation.

Kelsey Hollen is one of the younger generation.

Hollen, 25, has familial ties to dementia, and has made it a mission of hers to speak out.

Discovery Hollen, a resident of Creston, attended University of Northern Iowa to earn a degree in gerontology, the study of aging. As a sophomore in 200910, Hollen declared the major, and soon after discovered her maternal grandfather Gordon Perkins of Red Oak had health and behavioral changes.

“He started having some health concerns, and behavior changes, so we were concerned about him,” Hollen said. “As we were learning about some of these things in class (at UNI), I was able to relay that information back to my family, and it was practical.”

That same month, Perkins had a stroke that affected his memory. Hollen’s grandmother cared for her grandfather in their home. He developed diabetes, and in December 2010 he had another stroke.

In June 2011, Perkins had a bowel obstruction.

“It’s actually really, really painful, but he barely described pain, and that’s sometimes a symptom of dementia, your ability to feel pain is affected,” Hollen said. “So, we Please see ALZHEIMER’S, Page 12

The vote for a new veterans affairs director was tabled to Sept. 8 after Union County Board of Supervisors decided to review their involvement in the appointment process.

The commissioners of the veterans affairs office — Gary O’Daniels, Robert Jungst, Sharon Moffitt, J o h n Parkins and Paul Miller — selected A r m y veteran T o m Hawks to O’Daniels replace Blaize Reha as the VA director.

Reha stepped down as director after a knee injury that would require surgery and intensive rehab.

“We had 10 applications,” Gary O’Daniels said. “We interviewed four people and

he (Hawks) was the person selected by the commission members that would do the best job for us.”

Supervisors have the final say on the appointment, but they were not involved in the application process.

Supervisor Lois Monday asked to see the list of applicants for the position, but the board wanted to check in with Union County Attorney Tim Kenyon and Monday their human resources representative Paul Greufe before proceding with the request.

“I always trust the board (commissioners of the veterans affairs office), but whenever you are signing off on something, you always want to read the fine print,” Supervisor Ron Riley said at Wednesday’s meeting.

The vote was rescheduled for the Sept. 8 meeting.

Mosquito-borne virus confirmed in Iowa DES MOINES (AP) — Health officials have confirmed the first human case of the chikungunya (chicken-GUN’-yuh) virus in Iowa.

The state Department of Public Health said in a news release Wednesday that a man from central Iowa is recovering from the mosquito-borne virus.

He recently returned from a trip to the Caribbean.

The virus can cause fever

and joint pain, among other symptoms. It is typically not fatal.

Officials say it’s common for an individual to be bitten by an infected mosquito while traveling outside of the state.

Up until now, Iowa was one of only six states that had not reported such a case.

The man has not been hospitalized, and additional information about his case has not been released.

OPINION Cats are big, but fun, responsibilities

For those who don’t know yet, I recently got a cat. He’s a black and white thing, about a year and a-half old, and is named Pawter (since I’m a big Harry Potter nerd and love puns).

He’s definitely good to have around the house, now that I live in the country, because he was a farm cat before he became mine and likes chasing mice. But, like I said in my previous column, he’s definitely a responsibility.

Pawter, like all cats, is automatically a responsibility because he needs fed and watered, and his litter changed often. Also, like other

Girl on fire Bailey Poolman staff writer

cats his age, he’s still young and requires so much exercise.

During my week-long vacation in August, I took him with me to visit my parents in Centerville.

Somehow I had managed to talk my mom Karen into letting the cat sleep inside, even though she only ever allowed our dog inside dur-

ing the winter months. Pawter had a blast, spending the day with my mom and exploring the two-story house complete with nooks and crannies for him to get lost in. Even though she will probably deny it, I think my mother grew attached to the little guy, and even calls him her grandson.

Most nights, he decides to play with his catnip birds, running up and down the hallway and jumping on and off the bed every minute or so. Then, most mornings, he wakes me up well before my alarm buzzes by nipping at my toes and climbing all over my face. It’s wonder-

ful, since I don’t need lots of sleep anyway.

Pawter also likes chasing bugs.

At night, moths find some crack in my windowsill and flutter around the lights. The cat will stare at the ceiling, watching the bugs bump against it, and then jump up at them or climb on the dresser to get closer to them. I suppose for him, the dresser is like the stairway to a heaven filled with things to play with.

I’ve also recently discovered Pawter likes watching TV. The other night I turned on the movie Finding Nemo to fall asleep to, and

woke up after an hour or so to Pawter laying on my feet staring at the vibrant colors flitting across the TV screen. I think he may want me to get a real fish one of these days.

Even though I grew up in the country with pets, none of our animals were strictly indoor pets. I’ve realized it’s different when you keep your pet inside: making sure he can’t get into anything dangerous to cats, keeping him clean and healthy and protecting things you don’t want him destroying.

Despite all the responsibilities though, I’d never want to give Pawter up.

September Creston Chamber of Commerce happenings September finds the chamber of commerce busier than ever. This is due in large part to the help and assistance the Chamber gives to the Creston/Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Committee for the upcoming 37th annual Hot Air Balloon Days Weekend to be held Sept. 19–21.

Weather permitting, Balloon Days kicks off with a fun flight of many of the balloonists on Friday evening sometime after 5:30 p.m.

The balloon races will be held on Saturday the 20th and Sunday the 21st. Depending on the wind direction, many of you can step outside your door and enjoy the spectacular view of balloons soaring across Creston on these days or head up to the airport to watch them take off.

In addition to the balloon races and activities, there will once again be the annual parade of bands, balloonists and other participants on Saturday morning beginning at 10:30 a.m. in Uptown Creston. You are invited to have an entry in the parade. Please come to the corner of Howard and Chestnut on the 20th by 10 a.m. to be included in

Creston Chamber Ellen Gerharz Executive Director

the parade.

On Sept. 20, the Creston Hot Air Balloon Days Show and Shine Car Show will be held from noon until 4 p.m. at the Kilgore RV parking lot located at 601 Sheldon Ave. The Creston Uptown is the site of various activities for spectators of all ages on Saturday, as well.

The flea market on Maple Street and the craft fair in the west Depot parking lot will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition, local merchants will be open for your shopping pleasure during the day and the Creston:Arts Gallery will be open.

On Saturday afternoon, you can head out to the airport to enjoy the pet show at 2 p.m. Beginning at 2:30 p.m. will be the pedal pull for ages 12 and younger. NightGlow, which will begin at dusk at the airport, wraps up the Saturday activities.

A wide selection of food will be available both Uptown and at the airport for your culinary pleasures during the event.

Brochures listing the activities are available at the chamber office or by visiting the chamber web page at www.crestoniowachamber. com.

The Balloon Committee and CHS junior class are selling the annual balloon T-shirts, sweatshirts and pins. This is an excellent opportunity for you to show your support for the event, as well as market Creston all year long. You can stop by the chamber office located at 208 W. Taylor to make your purchase before the event or buy merchandise during the event.

Make your plans now to attend the 37th annual Creston/Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days and see for yourself what southwest Iowa has to offer.

Other activities taking place in Creston during September is the annual pork chop dinner sponsored by Creston Kiwanis, Lions and Rotary Clubs on Sept. 18. It is a great way to kick off the Balloon weekend.

Nominations Are Needed: Creston Chamber of Commerce and Creston News Advertiser are again seeking nominations for Citizen of the Year, Volunteer of the Year and Youth Award. Nominating forms will appear in the paper during the month of September or you may send a brief letter to the chamber office outlining why you think the individual you have nominated should be selected.

All nominations must be received at the chamber office no later than Oct. 8.

Hi-Five Honor: The following individuals and business received the Hi-Five Honor in September. Congratulations go out to Cody Hagle, Fareway; Paul Lorenz, First National Bank; Jim Marquart, Jim’s Truck Repair and Sanitation; and Quilts & Other Notions. Congratulations everyone.

The Hi-Five for Service allows us to recognize those who make shopping and doing business in Creston a rewarding and positive experience.

Gold Star Business Honored: The chamber honored Iowa

State Savings Bank at 401 W. Adams St. as the Gold Star Business in September. They were nominated by a fellow Crestonian because of the appearance of their building and property. Congratulations.

August Honor Yards of the Month: The following yards were selected as the August Honor Yards of the Month. Congratulations to 620 N. Chestnut, 801 W. Jefferson and 1100 Hillcrest.

These yards join the July honorees at 407 N. Maple, 1101 N. Elm and 408 S. Livingston, as well as the June honorees at 604 N. Elm, 701 E. Howard and 923 N. Oak. Congratulations everyone. Keep up the good work everyone.

Thank you to Creston True Value, Creston Super Walmart and Green Valley Pest and Lawn Care for co-sponsoring the yards, area and flowerpot of the month with the chamber.

Please call the Chamber to honor a business, individual, flowerpot or yard with any of the above honors for September.

Have a great month.

Letters to the editor

Treat them as equals From Dawn Drake Creston

This is something that I can’t figure out about this town and this school system. The sixth grade and ninth grade are supposed to be part of their prospective schools.

However, they get no recognition.

For example, the sixth grade isn’t allowed to play in any sports with the middle they are a part of, and the freshman get to play but are separate. The freshman are part of the high school and should be in-

cluded as such, but yet they have their pictures taken separately from the fall sports guide.

Why do these two grades need to be separate or excluded from their prospective school activities if they are supposed to be part of the school?

It really makes no sense, and therefore, I don’t understand why we as a community still allow it to happen. They still work just as hard as everyone else and deserve the same attention that the others get.

We like to hear from you!

Here’s a couple of ideas From Jim Stalker Creston

Here’s a couple of ideas that might be worth pursuing. Regarding the slab of concrete that used to be the AEA building but now belongs to the Creston Schools; this would make a wonderful location for an ice skating rink during the cold winter months, and it could be accomplished for minimal funding.

Pour a border of concrete around the perimeter, about six inches tall by four inches wide.

Line it with plastic. Add water!

Simple as that!

For added dressing, add a fence around the outside, a few benches for resting and after seeing how it goes, someone might want to bring a concession stand in for hot drinks, add a couple of Kybos, for convenience. There is already am-

ple parking marked off around the perimeter of the slab.

This would be a perfect project for the FFA or some other student group at the high school. Volunteerism plays a big role in Creston.

First step? Introduce your project to the school board, and, as the library people found out, it might not hurt to get something written down.

We have a personal stake From Karon Finn Creston

Quote from Sherrie Taha, Democratic candidate for Secretary of Agriculture: “If you eat...If you drink water...If you breathe air in Iowa...Then...You have a personal stake in how the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship works.”

We also have a personal stake in who the governor is. Who the secretary of agriculture is. Who our state representative is. Who the state senator is. Who the United States senator is. Who the United States representative is.

In May 2014 approximately 500,000 central Iowa customers received a letter in their water bill from the Des Moines Water Works stating: “Recent spring melting caused significant water quality concerns for Des Moines Water Works. In particular, high ammonia levels

have been present in our rivers from livestock runoff and other upstream land uses. Many customers may have noticed chlorine taste and smell in their drinking water during the early spring months.

Weeks of disinfection treatment was necessary to reduce runoff impacts, however, disinfection has its own risks.”

From Shel Silverstein’s book, “Where the Sidewalk Ends” and his poem “Lazy Jane” with a few changes by me: “Clueless, clueless, clueless, clueless, clueless, clueless Average Joe and Jane, they want a drink of water so they wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait for it to rain.”

The water alert from Des Moines Water Works should be a wake up call to all lowans and a call to action to advocate for cleaner source waters and to question whether voluntary water protection measures work.

The Branstad administration has been very obstructive when it comes to protecting our waterways. The administration has also refused to grant local control to our elected county officials. The Adair County Supervisors three times turned down the building and expansion of hog confinements in Adair County. Now, the Branstad Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has overturned that local county decision and the only recourse left to the neighbors around the confinements is to go to the Environmental Protection Commission (EPC) which is a nine member board stacked with five members appointed by Gov. Terry Branstad. Those five members have a financial interest in owning or building confinements in the state of Iowa.

How unfair is the Branstad administration? Is this how lowans should treat fellow lowans?

A vote for volunteering Dear Heloise: Just a comment on your recent praise of the Habitat for Humanity ReStore: It is a great organization to support, but I’d like to emphasize how important it is to support it by VOLUNTEERING. There usually is a core of dedicated, consistent volunteers who hold the store together. The volume of donations can be overwhelming without all the volunteers who receive the materials and get them out to the floor as quickly as possible. I have enjoyed maintaining “my” department, as well as the friendships among the other regulars. Short or long term, volunteers are the lifeblood of Habitat for Humanity ReStores. — Nancy M. in Colorado Nancy, thank you for reminding all of us how important volunteering is. If all of our volunteers “stood down” for just one day, I think it would be a shock to realize how much they do! So please say thanks when you get a chance. — Heloise VANILLA EXTRACT Dear Heloise: I was excited to try your recipe for vanilla extract. I have a question, though: Do you leave the vanilla beans intact, or split or

Hints from Heloise crush them? — Joyce M. in Delaware You will split the vanilla beans lengthwise, exposing the seeds.

For other readers, here’s how to make the extract.

Gather a 1-liter bottle of either vodka or white rum and two vanilla beans. Split the beans lengthwise and place them in the vodka/rum. Close the bottle and let sit for at least 30 days. Taste it to see if there is enough flavor, and if not, let it sit for another few days. Check and taste the extract regularly until you are happy with the flavor. Many cakes use vanilla extract as an ingredient, and my Heloise’s Cake Recipes pamphlet is a great resource to have in your home. To order one, please send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/ Cakes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

You can replace the liquid in the homemade extract as you use it. Just add more vodka/

That’s all. See if the person calls! — Pearl W. in California FROZEN EYELINER Dear Readers: Attempting to sharpen your eyeliner pencil, but it sticks to the sharpener?

National Digest

Royals sweep KANSAS CITY — Alex Gordon hit a two-run homer and the Kansas City Royals beat the Texas Rangers 4-1 on Wednesday night to sweep a three-game series.

Billy Butler also had an RBI for the AL Central-leading Royals, who increased their lead over the Detroit Tigers to 1 1/2 games.

Jason Vargas (11-7) pitched 6 2/3 shutout innings to snap a two-start losing streak, giving up six hits and no walks while striking out five.

Greg Holland struck out two in a perfect ninth inning to tie Atlanta’s Craig Kimbrel for the majorleague lead in saves at 42.

Fifth straight ST. LOUIS — Cardinals outfielder Peter Bourjos drove home the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning to give St. Louis (76-63) a 1-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates (71-68) on Wednesday.

With two outs and runners on first and second, Bourjos took a 0-1 pitch from Pirates reliever Mark Melancon (2-4) and singled to center, allowing catcher Yadier Molina to score. St. Louis closer Trevor Rosenthal (2-6) picked up the win, tossing a scoreless one-hit ninth.

Cardinals starter Shelby Miller allowed three hits and three walks while striking out five over seven scoreless innings of work. Pirates starter Edinson Volquez gave up three hits, two walks and struck out five over 6 1-3 innings.

The Cardinals have now won five games in a row.

19th straight NEW YORK — Quickly turning things around after dropping the first three games, Serena Williams stretched her Flushing Meadows winning streak to 19 matches by eventually overpowering 11th-seeded Flavia Pennetta of Italy 6-3, 6-2 on Wednesday night at the U.S. Open.

“Against her, you can’t wait, you can’t give her time, you can’t fail to push her to her limits - because if you do, she’s a runaway train,” Pennetta said.

Williams is bidding to become the first woman with three consecutive U.S. Open titles since Chris Evert won four in a row from 1975-78. The 32-year-old American also is trying to pull even with Evert and Martina Navratilova at 18 Grand Slam singles trophies.

The Creston/O-M Panthers will step back in time Friday, taking on the oncepopular single-wing offense employed by secondyear Clarinda coach Mark Schilb.

Last year the Panthers had success stopping the ground-oriented, deceptive offense by the Cardinals in a 42-10 victory at Panther Field.

But, a senior-dominated Cardinal team seems to be clicking this season.

Throwing only two passes — one intercepted — the Cardinals raced past Atlantic in the 2014 opener, 60-14.

This is a team that made the playoffs a year ago, and is considered a top contender this year in Class 2A District 8.

In Friday’s game at Clarinda, Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison says a challenge awaits, particularly in the trenches. The offensive line is largely intact from a year ago, led

by No. 72, senior tackle Brook Stephens, formerly of Creston.

“They are good up front and we knew that,” Morrison said. “ T h e y have a good offensive line with athletic, physical r u n n e r s . Morrison The big-

PALATINE, Ill. — The Spartan men came home with four individual awards and a second place team finish Saturday morning at the inaugural Hawks/Chiefs Invitational hosted by Harper Community College.

Sophomore Ben Friederichs was the top finisher for Southwestern, covering the 6K course in 21:01 and placing seventh. He led the pack attack that included Ovan Garcia, Aaron Ward and Philip Sciranko who placed eighth, ninth and 10th respectively.

“Our front pack just had a solid day and really fed

off of each other during the race,” Southwestern head coach Bill Huntington said.

“The top four only had a 34 second spread.”

Harper — who has won the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III men’s title the past three seasons — won its home meet with 21 points.

The Spartan men scored 44.

Cassidy Warson was the final scorer for the Spartans, crossing the line in 22:26 for 21st place.

“We have had some really good practices and have 10 guys that are right in the mix of being in our top seven,” Huntington said. “We still have a lot of work to do, but Please see SWCC, page 8A

The Americans wrapped up the No. 1 seed in their group Wednesday, improving to 4-0 at the Basketball World Cup with a 106-71 victory over the Dominican Republic.

Kenneth Faried, whose shooting percentage dropped after he missed three shots, scored 16 points for the U.S. DeMarcus Cousins came off the bench and added 13 points on 5-of-5 shooting.

Southwestern’s Malik Lambert and Cassidy Warson make their way around a pond at the Hawks/Chiefs Invitational hosted by Harper Community College Saturday.

17 stops against the Trojans, had a 51-yard run and “spinner back” Luke Strong ran seven times for 58 yards. Jake Ridnour ran twice for 42 yards and junior Jacob DeGase amassed 68 yards on only three touches.

Strong usually takes the shotgun snap and turns his back to the defense, with crossing motion on nearly every play before a handoff or pitchout to create deception. However, any one of three backs could take the direct snap. “(Last week) They ran sweep, power and wingback counter,” Morrison

said. “That’s all they ran.

They probably have a total of six running plays.

They’ll throw the ball two or three times. They try to get it to second and short, or third and short, then their offense rolls. First down is critical for our defense.”

Last year the Cardinals were 2-of-4 passing for 28 yards and two interceptions by Panthers Jesse Rathe and Alex Nielsen.

Fast start Clarinda got off to a flying start last week with an interception for a touchdown on the first play by Jacob Carlson. They kept

the momentum going with three more first-quarter scores. Kettwick raced 44 yards for a Cardinal TD and Smith punched in back-to-back scores to push the lead to 28-0 before the quarter break.

“That did not look like Atlantic,” Morrison said, “but that’s what Clarinda tries to do. They want to get ahead in the first quarter and then grind it out.”

It’s an offense that could easily eat up the clock with a lead, if it can sustain drives with first downs.

Atlantic had a better second quarter, however, as Clarinda suffered three turnovers on a muffed punt, interception and fumble. Atlantic quarterback Joey Walker scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak.

But, Holmes took the ball on a reverse and reclaimed the momentum for the Cardinals with a 17yard touchdown for a 34-6 halftime lead.

Lightning forced a delay of nearly 90 minutes, but that failed to slow down the Cardinals. They tacked on four more scores on runs of 15 yards by Holmes, 51

by DeGase, another by Holmes for 68 yards and a 4-yarder by Zachary Carlson, all during a running clock. Walker added his second touchdown on a short run for the Trojans before time ran out.

Tigers look for more consistency in week 2

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

After his team jumped out to a 36-14 halftime lead at East Union last week and then saw the Eagles cut that lead to 36-32, Lenox head coach Allen Dukes knows his team needs to show more consistency this week against a Mormon Trail team that defeated Murray 34-0 on Friday.

The Tigers host Mormon Trail on Friday, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m.

“As far as Friday night’s game, we have to be more consistent than what we were last Friday night,” he said. “ Y o u c a n ’ t jump out on somebody and Dukes think the game is over and let them back in it.”

Dukes said his team has spent more time this week practicing pass coverage, an area where the Tigers were burned last week.

East Union completed just three passes in the game, but those three completions went for a total of 166 yards and two touchdowns. Tackling has been another area of emphasis this week.

“I didn’t feel like we tackled very well Friday night, especially when they got bottled up and bounced it outside,” Dukes said.

The Tigers will be aided this week by the return of Frank Hoffman, who was unable to play last week because he did not have the required amount of

practices in after returning from National Guard boot camp.

“He’s going to be able to help us on both sides of the ball,” Dukes said. “Looks like he will be our starting fullback and will be playing a linebacker for us.”

Hoffman’s return will enable Dukes to shift Jared Hensley to cornerback on Friday a g a i n s t Hoffman t h e Saints.

“He’s (Hoffman) going to bring more size in than what we had at the fullback and linebacker positions,” Dukes said. “Last week we had Josh Mitchell and Jared Hensley in there.

That’s going to give us a little more of a punch at fullback, as well as taking on the guards a little bit better with him at linebacker.”

One of the keys for Lenox this week will be slowing down Mormon Trail quarterback Jakob Horton.

Horton ran for 159 yards and three touchdowns on 29 carries last week against Murray. He completed just 1-of-5 passes for 29 yards.

“They set him up in a shotgun formation, backs on both sides of him or split one out into the slot,” Dukes said. “They will run him a lot. He runs the ball hard, inside-out. They have big linemen. On film, I was pretty impressed with them. I thought they played extremely well. We have to make sure everybody on our team does their job and does it to the best of their ability and see what hap-

pens.”

Non-district matchups Southwest Valley, a 40-0 winner over Clarinda Academy in the opening week, travels to Bedford on Friday for a 7 p.m. game.

Bedford sits at 1-0 after a 36-14 win over Griswold.

Junior Justin Folkerts scored two touchdowns for the Bulldogs, rushing for a team-high 100 yards on 14 carries. Senior Ben Hill added 90 yards and one touchdown for the Bulldogs in the win.

Quarterback Hunter Russel completed seven passes for 89 yards, three of which went to Isaac Weed for 60 yards and a touchdown.

In Class A action, Mount Ayr hits the road to take on another Class 2A opponent, this time playing at Shenandoah at 7 p.m.

The Mustangs opened the season with a 28-7 win over Riverside.

The Mount Ayr defensive front will be tested again this week, as Shenandoah attempted just three passes last week.

Andrew Gray rushed 26 times for 137 yards and two touchdowns, while quarterback Jake Johnson carried 12 times for 43 yards and two scores. Jordan Miller ran for 51 yards and Logan Roberts rushed for 49 yards.

The Raiders will have to slow down the Mustang rushing attack without linebacker Riley Weehler, who suffered a knee injury in Mount Ayr’s loss to Albia last week. Weehler recorded six solo tackles and Please see AREA, page 8A

Wasn’t Kyle Larson supposed to have a win by now?

Has Kasey Kahne gone from disappointment to Chase threat?

GODSPEAK: If he builds momentum, he may look like Laird Hamilton atop a monster wave in the Chase.

Don’t be surprised if he wins again this week.

If there’s a 14th different 2014 winner this week, who’s your pick?

GODSPEAK: Kyle Larson would be my first pick with Clint Bowyer a close second.

With laggard Kasey Kahne securing a position in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Sunday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Hendrick Motorsports’ stock cars now make up 25 percent of the playoff field.

It’s no wonder team owner Rick Hendrick had a big smile as he watched the No. 5 Chevrolet flash across the finish line. He now joins Roger Penske (two cars) and Joe Gibbs (three cars) as the only teams with all entries earning postseason berths.

“Just glad to see these guys have some good luck,” Hendrick said after Kahne’s victory. “They have had a tough year.”

The win was so special that Kahne’s driver teammates — Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson — gathered in Victory Lane to welcome the driver to the Chase party. It looked more like a Hendrick Motorsports company picnic than a Victory Lane celebration.

“I think that shows the kind of chemistry we have with our drivers, and they know they got to race each other, and they want to beat each other, but they were pulling for Kasey to get in,” Hendrick said.

After the Cup Series pushes through Richmond, the four Hendrick drivers will go back to battling each other for position, points and wins, but the boss likes his chances in this Chase.

“I think when we’re tied with three cars for the most wins (three) and the momentum with the No. 5 car going in, I think that we have a really good shot,” Hendrick said. “I think that it’s the best balance that we have ever had with all the cars going into the Chase.”

AP/DAVID TULIS

Does Mild Matt look worried about being winless? Actually, he’s deep into his points-gathering zone.

Who will be next to get your reverse jinx?

GORDON UP TO 750

PEACE, BROTHER

Jeff Gordon continues to amaze as he begins the transition into the twilight of his career, which will continue at least three more seasons at Hendrick Motorsports. Sunday night the 43-year-old made his 750th consecutive Cup Series start, dating back to his debut in the last race of the 1992 season, held at Atlanta that year. “That is a big number,” Gordon said. “I hadn’t thought about it a whole lot until I saw a decal with it. I thought, ‘Man that is a lot of races, especially in a row.’ It seems like it was yesterday that it started right here over 20 years ago.”

Remember that blowup between Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick at Bristol a week ago? Harvick wrecked Hamlin and Hamlin tossed his HANS device in anger at Harvick’s car.

Harvick wasted no time apologizing to Hamlin immediately after the race. “I think it was like eight minutes after the checkered flag he reached out to me,” Hamlin told Fox Sports 1. “He just made a little mistake. We all do it at one point or another.”

Case closed.

Do we now recalibrate our odds board for the Chase?

Let’s wait until after this weekend.

If Kahne makes it two straight by winning Richmond — certainly a possibility — in a two-weekend span he goes from major disappointment to one of everybody’s three or four favorites to run wild in the final 10 weeks. But right now, you have to put the best odds on the two Penske drivers (Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski) and at least two of the other Hendrick guys (definitely Jimmie Johnson, of course, and either Junior or Jeff).

Leaving out your dream champ?

Kinda. Yes, I’m still rooting — in a slightly evil way — for Matt Kenseth to go winless yet win the championship. Don’t forget, with all this emphasis put on winning this year, you can still win the Cup without winning a trophy. Weird, huh?

the runaway victory. Atlantic finished with 219 total yards and only seven first downs. Besides Stickler’s 17 tackles, Cain Johanns had 15, J.J. Clark totaled 12 and Jacob Carlson had 10 stops to go with his two interceptions. Clark had a team-high three solo tackles for loss.

Stickler had 101 tackles a year ago and Clark had 85.

“They have quick guys that shoot gaps, and when they go even front they bring in those two big guys (Stephens and Jared DeVoe) inside,” Morrison said. “Their linebackers get after it. They’re a bunch of wrestlers. They’re physical.”

Multiple penalties In last year’s game, 11 penalties were called on each team, including 94 yards in infractions against the Panthers. Creston/OM opened the 2014 season with 14 penalties for 155 yards in defeating Norwalk 27-17, so Morrison said

that’s been an area of emphasis this week. The only saving grace was that Norwalk also had 110 yards in infractions.

“We had 155 yards in penalties and we can’t have that and beat good teams,” Morrison said.

“They had 110 yards, so that kind of balanced out.

We have to clean that up.

You don’t want helmet to helmet contact. We don’t teach that, but kids get in situations and they’re (officials) emphasizing that this year. We had pass interference, illegal shift and motion that you get in that first game. I think we’ll be fine. The kids came out and played hard and got a win.”

There are no projected changes in the Panther starting lineup. Game time is 7 p.m., a half-hour earlier than the Class 3A contests on the Creston/O-M schedule.

Next week the Panthers begin district play at home against Winterset, which opened with a 15-14 victory over Oskaloosa.

Creston/O-M Panthers football team opened the season with a 31-0 victory over Dallas Center-Grimes.

Walsh entered the game after Stefan Jensen was injured in the first quarter.

5 years ago Staff and residents at Creston Nursing and Rehab Center celebrated Mary Cusack’s 107th birthday. According to the Iowa Department on Aging, at the time, Cusack was the oldest living person in Union County, and there were only 43 people who were 107 years old or older in Iowa. Cusack said her birthday was just like any other day, but with no peer pressure.

According to Iowa officials, employers had to pay more to the state unemployment insurance trust fund to offset rising jobless insurance benefits paid to laid-off workers. Officials with Iowa Workforce Development estimated 60 percent of the state’s 80,000 employers would have to pay more, the first increase in eight years. The fund had $508 million remaining after paying out $709 million in benefits to unemployed workers over the previous 12 months.

The center of the water tower was set to be constructed 176 feet from the fence behind Moonlite Motel. The city purchased the land owned by Carol Myers for $25,000. Mayor Mike

Tamerius and Water Department General Manager Steve Green told Goel they would encourage water tower contractors to stay at the motel.

Creston High School implemented an eight-block scheduling format. This included 90-minute class periods and a built-in seminar session for meeting with teachers, to replace the traditional study hall. The idea was brought by Creston High School Principal Chris Duree who succeeded Ron Levine in 1992. Response for the new scheduling format was positive from students and teachers.

The former Phillips 66 building was moved to its site on Highway 34. The building, owned by Shirley Lorimor, was donated to the city. Contract Movers of Lorimor began moving the building at 10:30 a.m. and completed about 12:30 p.m.

did start to see that, but that was in addition to him not completing his activities of daily living, routine things that always happen. ... So, we were concerned.”

Perkins was eventually diagnosed with vascular dementia, a form of dementia caused by strokes. It is the second most common form of dementia in older adults, and can be described as vascular lesions in the brain.

Perkins was taken to a nursing home in March 2012, and currently lives in a care center in Red Oak.

Another discovery Within three weeks, in July 2011, Hollen’s paternal grandmother Helen Hollen, formerly of Creston, had a stroke. She was living in Red Oak at the time to be closer to family because of health concerns.

“She woke up in bed and had knocked the phone off trying to call for help. The neighbors in her little apartment complex in Red Oak had called us, I think, because they were worried because her door wasn’t open by a certain time, because they all kept a pretty good eye on each other,” Hollen said. “We rushed over there and found her in bed, and she had paralysis on one side, so we could visually see she had had a stroke.

She was confused, and very agitated obviously.”

She was taken to the hospital, and eventually, because of the stroke, was diagnosed with a mild form of dementia.

Hollen’s grandmother was left with paralysis of the

left side, which limited her.

She was wheelchair-bound after that.

“It’s always hard, no matter what education you have,” Hollen said. “When anything hits you or your family personally, it’s always hard to keep that perspective on things. So, I think, luckily I’ve been able to do that to an extent, even though as you go through it with your own family, and all the emotions get into it and all that, it’s really hard to deal with that.”

Helen Hollen died in January 2013.

tia,” Hollen said. “That way, we are able to find tools when we talk with loved ones.”

Hollen had planned to work for the Alzheimer’s Association in the Creston office after college graduation, but about the time she graduated, the office closed. She currently is the pathway navigator at Southwestern Community College.

Still, she stayed in touch with people at the association and up to date with events, and continued to be part of the association as a volunteer with the Walk to End Alzheimer’s Saturday at McKinley Park.

“This is just one story out of so many. Everyone has their own story, they’re all in a journey, so it’s exciting to be able to

potentially use the walk as an opportunity to get to know more people in your community, and build that support system,” Hollen said.

Hollen continues to support people affected by dementia by telling her story and being able to connect to others with similar journeys.

“I think if anybody can relate to something, they’ll be more likely to support it,” Hollen said. “I think a lot of people are caregiving nowadays for loved ones and see things first hand. ... When you’re able to connect to that and the journey that it takes you through, and you connect with others who have gone through that, but maybe in a different way because everybody’s situation is different, it gives you that system or network to build off of.”

Dementia Dementia is a category of brain diseases that cause long term loss of the ability to think and reason clearly.

It affects a person’s daily functioning, and is a severe change from the person’s previous mental function.

Of people over the age of 85, 47 percent get some form of dementia.

The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. This disease worsens as it progresses, and symptoms include confusion, aggression, trouble with language and longterm memory loss.

There are very few known causes for Alzheimer’s disease. The disease has no cure, and is fatal.
