“I’m certainly looking forward to being a part of the team and excited to start the year with the rest of the board members,” James said. “I think they’re a great team, and I respect everyone who’s on the board and I have a lot of re-

Woods, the wife of Creston Mayor Warren Woods, said she Woods was “drafted” by some friends to mount a write-in campaign when they heard there was an open position.

Woods has taught a variety of subjects at schools in Colorado, in Nebraska and in Iowa in the Oelwein, Orient-Macksburg and Corning school systems. She was the secondary principal at Cum-

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa’s corn and soybean crops endured the hottest week of the year so far last week but largely remain in good shape.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture in its weekly crop report released Tuesday says 10 percent of Iowa’s corn crop is mature.

That’s three days ahead of last year but nine days behind the five-year average.

Seventy-nine percent of the crop is in good to excel-

The mannequins can be programmed to show students the differences between healthy patients and patients suffering a variety of health issues – from a common cold to a serious condition like a heart attack.

The lab requires lots of expensive equipment, including the mannequins, laptops, mannequin control software, medication dispense units, simulation viewing system and simulation control unit.

SWCC nursing program begins using $180K sim lab he breathing, bleeding, groaning mannequins in the new simulation lab at Southwestern Community College (SWCC), which provide realistic clinical experiences for nursing students, are now in use.

“It’s a little eerie,” said Tom Lesan, SWCC vice president of economic development. “They can be programmed to blink their eyes, show pain – everything imaginable.”

T h e sim lab in the Allied Health and Sci- Lesan e n c e Center houses six full-body wireless patient simulators: two SimMan Essential bleeding mannequins, three Nursing Anne mannequins and one Nursing Kid mannequin. The $182,657 sim lab, fully paid for by a U.S. Department of Labor grant, was completed at the end of May. SWCC students began working in the lab this week.

On Tuesday evening, the SWCC board of directors attended a demonstration of the sim lab, led by Susan W h i t e , White SWCC director of nursing, and Brooke Owen, simulation lab coordinator.

According to the National Institutes of Health, about 100,000 patients die due to medical errors in the U.S. each year. Sim labs allows students to learn from their mistakes in a realistic setting without endangering lives.

The Alzheimer’s Association is inviting Creston and surrounding areas residents to unite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

Walk to End Alzheimer’s will take place Saturday, Sept. 12, at McKinley Park in Creston.

Walk to End Alzheimer’s is more than a walk.

It is an experience for over 200 participants in Creston who will learn about Alzheimer’s disease and how to get more involved with this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities and clinical studies enrollment to support programs and services. Walk participants also honor those affected

by Alzheimer’s disease with the poignant Promise Garden ceremony.

“The public needs to realize we are dealing with a disease that is quickly becoming an epidemic.

Despite 90-degree weather, school district declares snow day KEYPORT, N.J. (AP) — On a day when temperatures surged past 90 degrees in central New Jersey, an electrical problem has forced a school district to declare a snow day.

Classes were canceled Tuesday in Keyport because of a malfunctioning compo-

nent at the district’s elementary school.

Officials cited student safety concerns for their decision, noting the building lacked reliable power. That meant students and staff members were facing a day with no phones, Internet or fire alarms.

The sleeping subject matched this description.

Officers made contact with the driver after waking her up.

They asked her for her identification, and it positively identified her as the subject with the arrest warrant. After charging Nichols with the warrant, officers requested a tow truck and began vehicle inventory. Upon doing inventory of the vehicle, officers located inside Nichols’ purse a glasses case, and within the glasses case was a methamphetamine pipe with residue, glass mirror with a white residue, plastic tube with residue and small plastic bags with a crystal-like substance within.

Officers field tested the residue on the mirror for methamphetamine, and it tested positive as such.

Nichols was released on $1,000 bond.

OPINION

Is longevity and loyalty to employers a fading tradition?

It was interesting to read Kelsey Haugen’s feature on Charlie Weil last week, as he retired at the 50year mark of working at Wellman Dynamics in Creston.

It came a few weeks after I got my 30-year certificate at the Creston News Advertiser.

I’m starting to think we’re part of a vanishing breed.

In a nutshell, whereas longevity and loyalty to a company was once revered, rewarded with bonuses and promotions, it now can be viewed almost as a hindrance.

I know of one situation, not at my firm, where an employee of nearly 30 years was passed over for a key promotion in favor of a younger person with less than 15 years on the job, but with more variety in his background and perhaps viewed as more “innovative.”

Sometimes the more experienced employee is viewed as “set in his ways” and resistant to change.

Plus, there are financial considerations. A company might be inclined to “push” an older, more experienced worker out with a retirement package incentive, when a 23-year-old college graduate armed with savvy technological skills can be hired at half the price.

“When we talk to businesses, we often hear, whatever happened to

Straight shots Larry Peterson sports writer

loyalty and longevity?” said Jacque Tripp, Promise Jobs case manager for IowaWORKS Southern Hills.

“Especially with the younger generations, they really don’t think it’s crazy to stay one year in a job and switch.”

It might behoove employers to work on retention, though, since the cost of hiring and retraining replacement employees can cost 20 percent or more of that position’s annual salary!

Job hopping Being viewed as a “job hopper” no longer carries some of the negative connotations it once had. In fact, Tripp cited a study associated with Generation Z (ages 16 to 24) that flies in the face of what our generation grew up believing. And, employers don’t seem to mind a busy resume` as long as it’s consistent in the same industry, and shows personal growth.

“For those enrolled in college right now, it’s not uncommon for them to think by the time they

are 30, they will have had eight to 10 jobs,” Tripp said. “These kids know technology, they’re versatile and they love change. Companies are starting to see this as a positive.

They think, ‘This kid will do what I need. He’s OK with change.’ The thing is, they have to be able to find their niche in the company, or they will become bored and leave.”

For older employees to hold their status and stay on track for advancement can become difficult if they don’t show a willingness to embrace these technological advances.

In my own industry, I’ve seen a few colleagues in my age bracket who showed hesitancy in joining the trends of doing video clips while out in the field, posting updates on Twitter during an event, and immediately posting new developments on a website.

The thirst for immediacy in news content requires you to adapt, or be left behind. When I started in this business in 1980, I sat at a desk using a Royal manual typewriter. I carried rolls of film for my camera, and developed that film in a tricky chemical mix.

Now, we digitally create the articles and pages on the screen, and push a few buttons on the camera

and Photoshop computer to create and place the photographs on the page. It’s nearly instantaneous.

If I didn’t adapt to these advances, my value to the company would be drastically diminished.

Loyalty factors However, I also feel some important factors associated with longevity and loyalty are perhaps being underrated in these new societal trends.

For example, as a 30-year-employee here, I feel in touch with our customer base. I’m pretty sure I know what they value, and some of the traditions they’ve come to expect from us.

I also can bring some historical perspective. If someone tells me that’s the best performance we’ve ever had here, I might cite something I witnessed in 1989. Some of my colleagues were in diapers then, or not even born yet!

I think it helps to have someone around who knows the lay of the land, how things once were, so you accurately know your place in history. The late Max Sandeman provided me with some of that wisdom when I started here.

Here’s another consideration. if you move around every couple of years, what does that do to your

family?

Tripp said there are positives and negatives, since someone accustomed to moving and meeting new people can be open to change and forming new relationships quickly.

Family values But, I hark back to a wedding my youngest son recently attended in Creston. In his speech, the best man cited an antecdote about the groom when they were in sixth grade together. It drew widespread laughter, as many in the audience were in the same class and grew up together.

You don’t have those connections, those community roots, if you’ve moved around many times during those school years. I think there’s legitimate value to a community connection.

Many don’t live here anymore, but those young adults at that wedding once had something together in this community. Their parents held positions at local companies and earned promotions through loyal service. They took pride in that.

If that concept fades, what have we lost?

Queen Elizabeth today becomes Great Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, breaking the record set

Pope Francis’s itinerary was released for his U.S. visit in two weeks which includes stops in New York and Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. In honor of the pope’s visit, a brewery in New Jersey is releasing a pope themedbeer. This makes you wonder if it comes with a warning to Pray Responsibly.

Donald Trump accused his interviewer Hugh Hewitt of asking him gotcha questions designed to make the candidate look foolish Friday.

He did say if elected president he will move into the White House.

It won’t be the first time Trump forced a black couple and their two children to leave their home.

Kansas State’s band apologized for forming a phallic symbol on the field in their halftime show Saturday. An aerial photo of the formation went viral and there’s no doubt, accidentally or not, they formed a phallic symbol. It ended any chance of Anthony Weiner ever getting to star in the Music Man. NFL teams cut hundreds of players from their rosters Saturday to meet the fifty-player limit. It’s often a painful transition. Many of the NFL players who are cut wind up playing in the Canadian Football League, where they traditionally have great difficulty adjusting to Canada’s lack of handguns.

Can a government body charge a fee for a public records request?

Iowa Code section 22.2 grants every person the right to examine and copy a public record. This right includes “the right to examine a public record without charge while the public record is in the physical possession of the custodian of the public record.”

Section 22.3 sets forth the procedure to arrange for viewing and/ or copying of public records. Section 22.3(1) allows a custodian to “adopt and enforce reasonable rules regarding the examination and copying of the records and the protection of the records against damage or disorganization.” The custodian is to provide a suitable place for examination and copying, but if it is impracticable to use the office of the custodian, then “the person desiring to examine or copy shall pay any necessary expenses of providing a place for the examination and copying.” When the custodian is a part-time employee, it will require cooperation and coordination to set up the times and location for record review.

Section 22.3 also allows a government body to charge a “reasonable fee for the services of the lawful custodian or the custodian’s authorized designee in supervising the examination and copying of the records.” There is no set fee in

the statutes; the government body must utilize “actual costs.” Prepayment can be required prior to fulfilling the request or releasing the records.

Actual costs are defined in Section 22.3(2) to include “only those expenses directly attributable to supervising the examination of and making and providing of copies of public records. Actual costs shall not include charges for ordinary expenses or costs such as employment benefits, depreciation, maintenance, electricity, or insurance associated with the administration or the office of the lawful custodian.”

Although not required by law, it is best practices for a government body to have a policy in place concerning fees.

Section 22.3A governs access to data processing software. A 2015 amendment to the statute requires the government body absorb some of the costs of record retrieval and release, while other parts of the amended section allow certain actual costs to be paid by the requestor.

The fees charged by government bodies are an issue across the state. While other states have laws that set the fees, Iowa allows the fees to be set based upon actual

costs, which can vary widely. The IPIB does not have the authority to amend current law; that would be up to the Iowa Legislature.

(Adapted from the IPIB website – www.ipib.iowa.gov) Annual Freedom of Information council meeting and events The Iowa Freedom of Information Council will hold its annual meeting and events on Oct. 8. The Council is sponsoring a round table discussion on police body camera issues from 1 to 3 p.m. Other events include a reception with the IPIB Executive Director, the annual business meeting, and “Celebrating a Free Press and Open Government” banquet.

ENTERTAINMENT Caffeine-free? Maybe not Dear Heloise: I recently found out, to my surprise, that DECAFFEINATED AND CAFFEINE-FREE are not the same. “Decaf” simply means that the coffee or tea has 30-50 percent less caffeine than regular. Thought I’d pass on the information. — Pauline B., via email Hold the phone and pick up the coffee can! Yep, you are right: Decaf and caffeine-free are not the same thing. However, the percentage is 97 percent caffeine-free, or possible 3 percent caffeine.

Coffee beans and tea leaves start out with caffeine in them and then it’s removed. There is no coffee or tea that has absolutely NO caffeine, but 3 percent is not much.

A “caffeine-free” product is one with ingredients that never contained caffeine in the first place. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com RINSING PRODUCE Dear Heloise: Whenever I have a small amount of produce to rinse, I use a plastic juice pitcher with the plastic top that strains ice cubes from

Hints from Heloise going into the glass. This is quicker and easier than the colander designed to wash and spin produce.

I can do a few lettuce leaves, a pound of strawberries or a small bunch of grapes very quickly. I can agitate them by shaking, pour out the water without losing any of the produce, refill, shake and pour.

After three times, I can drain the produce through the lid and then pour into a serving container. — Margaret H., Stafford County, Va. This sounds good, but technically the water should flow or run over the produce. In this case, if there are bacteria, it’s still in the water. But three rinses should take care of things. — Heloise SUDSIER DISHWATER Dear Heloise: My wife cooks, and I do the dishes.

Once, I accidently turned on the spray nozzle full force to make my soapy water. The suds overflowed!

As time went on, I continued using the spray nozzle and was using less and less dish soap! I now use less than half,

and it still fills up my sink with suds. — Paul S., Punta Gorda, Fla. LAST OF THE MAYO Dear Heloise: The hint from Kay reminded me how my grandmother utilized the last of the mayo in the jar.

She would make potato salad and drop some of the cooked cubed potatoes in the jar and shake it. She would repeat until the mayo coated the potatoes.

She saved waxed paper from loaves of bread. They were used for wrapping sandwiches for lunches. I would slip a piece out of the drawer when I went to the playground to sit on when going down the slide. — Lois R., Roswell, N.M. Love it, and both images made me smile! My mother would add vinegar and some BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker spices to an almost-empty mayo jar, and shake to mix.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an accident-prone day for your sign, so take it easy and slow down. However, you might dream up original, imaginative ideas.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Keep an eye on your belongings and cash flow today, because something unpredictable might occur. If you’re careful, you can avoid losing something. Keep your receipts.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You feel impulsive or impetuous today. That’s OK, but make sure you don’t do something that you will later regret. Try to monitor your actions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a restless day for you.

Don’t worry, but guard against doing something that you might later regret. Give a sober, second thought to everything.

Alternatively, you might meet someone new who is a real character. At least, this is not a boring day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Conversations with authority figures might yield a few surprises today. If someone offends you or says something that you don’t like, do not quit your day job. Chill out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Travel plans will change today. Cancellations or rescheduling are classic. These changes might apply to school schedules and anything to do with politics, medicine and the law.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Make friends with your bank account, because something to do with shared property and red-tape details might catch you off guard today.

Make sure you know what’s happening.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Relations with partners and close friends will be unpredictable today. Someone might make an unusual suggestion or be offended by something you say. Be cool.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Computer crashes, power outages, canceled meetings and staff shortages are just some of the reasons today’s job routine will change. Be prepared to go with the flow. Be attentive to your health, as well.

YOU BORN TODAY Tradition

and your origins matter to you.

Once you discover what you like to do, you become dedicated to it; although many of you have a secret inner life. This year something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish to make room for something new.

Take it easy and learn to serve others. This is a good year to travel.

Home runs hit

by Giants pitchers this year. No other team has more than two.

National Digest

Slam bid NEW YORK (AP) — For stretches of the 27th edition of Williams vs.

Williams, Venus gave Serena all she could handle.

And when Serena took control down the stretch to emerge with a 6-2, 1-6, 6-3 victory in a well-played U.S. Open quarterfinal, allowing her to continue pursuing the first calendar-year Grand Slam in more than a quarter-century, a smiling Venus wrapped both arm around her little sister for a warm hug at the net and whispered, “So happy for you.”

With two more match wins, the No. 1-ranked Serena would become the first player since Steffi Graf in 1988 to collect all four Grand Slam titles in a single season.

Serena is 16-11 in their all-in-the-family matches, including 9-5 in majors and 3-2 at the U.S. Open.

Ratings record (AP) — The Southeastern Conference has a record 10 teams ranked in the first Associated Press college football poll of the regular season.

Ohio State remained a unanimous No. 1 after pulling away 42-24 at Virginia Tech on Monday night.

The SEC already held the record for most teams from one conference in the Top 25 with eight, a mark it matched in the preseason. After the conference went 12-1 to open the season, No. 16 Texas A&M and No. 25 Mississippi State moved into the poll to go with the eight teams already there.

Alabama moved up a spot to No. 2. The rest of the SEC roll call is: No. 6 Auburn, No. 10 Georgia, No. 14 LSU, No. 17 Mississippi, No. 18 Arkansas, No. 20 Missouri and No. 23 Tennessee.

Record tied NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees star Alex Rodriguez has reached 30 home runs for the 15th season, tying Hank Aaron’s major league record.

Rodriguez hit his 684th career home run in the sixth inning Tuesday night, lifting New York into a 1-all tie with Baltimore.

The 40-year-old Rodriguez hadn’t hit the 30-homer mark since 2010. He didn’t play last year while serving a season-long drug suspension.

Aaron held the career home run record of 755 before it was broken by Barry Bonds, who finished with 762.

Andujar dies ST. LOUIS (AP) — Joaquin Andujar, a star pitcher with the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1980s who called himself “One tough Dominican,” has died in his native Dominican Republic. He was 62.

“He was a joy to manage,” said former manager Whitey Herzog. “Everybody knew he didn’t operate with a full deck most of the time, but when you had Joaquin on your ballclub, you were sitting on a firecracker every day.”

The team said he died Tuesday.

the junior boys, while Nate Venteicher was seventh in the senior boys.

Creston finished with three medalwinners in McDermott, junior Ben Irr, who was fifth in the junior boys race, and Jessica Beatty, who took third in the senior girls race.

“Ben Irr ran real strong all the way through,” Schlapia said. “He worked on surging throughout the race.

He was within 50 seconds of Cooper. That was nice to see him improve and close the gap on Cooper.”

Schlapia said junior Isaac Wignall and sophomore Dylan Linch both ran good races, as well, despite not finishing in the medal hunt.

WINTERSET — Nodaway Valley flexed its muscle on the cross country course again here Tuesday at the Winterset Invitational.

The Wolverines had the top boy and girl individuals overall, doing so in dominant fashion.

Wolverine senior Destiny Scar posted a 26-second victory in the girls 5K race, while junior Shane Breheny won a battle of the state’s third-ranked runners in the boys race.

Breheny, ranked third in Class 1A, pulled away from Creston senior Cooper McDerm o t t , r a n k e d Breheny third in Class 3A, over the final mile over the race for a 30-second victory.

The two ran together for much of the first 2 miles, trading the lead several times. At the 2-mile mark, McDermott surged ahead.

But that was short lived, as less than a quarter mile later, Breheny burst past McDermott and instantly put a gap on the Panther senior.

That gap continued to grow as the two hit the rolling hills in the final mile of the course. Breheny crossed the finish line in 16:43, while

Creston senior Jessica Beatty runs in a pack with Des Moines Christian’s Oksana Covey (546) and Sydney Clark (547) and Winterset’s Layken Gurwell (20) midway through the junior and senior girls race at Winterset on Tuesday. Beatty finished fourth overall in 21:19.

McDermott finished in 17:13, just ahead of Winterset senior Curtis Harryman McDermott in 17:15.

“Cooper and Breheny went back and forth quite a bit the first half,” Creston head coach Pat Schla-

pia said. “Breheny kind of made a surge and took the lead. They finished one and two overall, but they both received gold medals in the awards ceremony. That was a good battle. They’re going to be seeing each other a few more times before the season is over.”

Spartans go 1-3 at Highland HIGHLAND, Kan. — Southwestern won one of four matches over the weekend in action hosted by Highland (Kan.) Community College.

The Spartans opened the event with a 25-17, 25-15, 2521 victory over Ellsworth.

Sophomore transfer Xuntong Zhang led Southwestern with 19 kills and seven digs.

All-region sopho m o r e Carmen Subbert p r o v i d e d Zhang 10 kills and 10 digs.

Freshman Marie Palmer of Corning also had 10 kills in the victory.

The Spartans then lost to Coffeyville (Kan.) 3-0; fell to 15th-ranked Kansas City

(Kan.), 3-2, in a match that came down to a 15-9 fifth set; and lost 3-0 to Highland.

“Our offense was improved a lot, we had more hitters involved in our offensive line,” said SWCC coach Ting Liu. “But our defense was not as good as in the past. We didn’t take care of the free balls and our out-ofoffense hitting very well.”

Subbert clubbed 12 kills in the straight-sets loss to Coffeyville, but no other Spartan reached double figures.

Setter Hanna Luther had 37 assists in the win over Ellsworth and 30 against Coffeyville. Zhang ended the Coffeyville match with a team-best 10 digs and two service aces.

Nationally-ranked Kansas City Community College survived in Saturday’s match, 25-22, 27-25, 20-25, 24-26, 15-9. This was the

match that showed the 2015 Spartans are improved, taking a national power to the limit.

Subbert led the team in both kills (22) and digs (26).

Zhang had 13 kills, three service aces and 24 digs.

Luther amassed 51 assists as Brooke Decker hit 10 kills and Palmer and Madison Walston each smacked eight. Walton had a teamhigh six total blocks.

Krechele Brown had 22 digs and matched Zhang with three service aces.

Then Highland closed SWCC’s weekend with a 25-23, 25-14, 25-14 sweep.

Zhang had a team-best eight kills and Brown had 12 digs.

Palmer totaled six blocks.

Spartans gain experience against D-I Drake

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES — Southwestern Community College’s cross country teams competed at the Bulldog 4K Classic here Friday in a dual against Drake University at Ewing Park.

Drake posted a perfect score in both the men’s and women’s races, but Southwestern head coach Nick Ekel was happy with how his teams competed against the Division I opponents in 90 degree heat.

“While it’s never fun to lose, I was ecstatic with the way our men competed against Drake and themselves,” Ekel said. “Sean Schmitz and Geert Boelen ran an aggressive race, which helped set the tone for the rest of our men.”

Schmitz, of Afton, fin-

i s h e d eighth overall, running the 4K course in 14:00, w h i l e B o e l e n , Schmitz making his season debut for the Spartans, finished 10th in 14:12.

Freshmen Joe Blake and Gabe Esser were close behind, running 14:19 and 14:24, respectively.

Drake’s Reed Fischer won the men’s race in 13:00.

Shiomi Kuwabara led the Spartan women with a 13th-place finish in 19:08 for the 4K course.

Drake’s Emma Huston won in 14:35, while former Drake University standout Casey McDermott, daughter of Creston superinten-

dent Steve McDermott, ran unattached and finished second in 14:43.

“I was impressed with the effort our ladies showed while navigating a hilly course in high heat,” Ekel said. “We will continue to improve as long as we remain healthy.”

Friday’s race served as a good learning experience for the young Spartans.

“We are a very young team as far as training experience goes,” Ekel said. “This race over 4K against an NCAA Division I school was a great learning experience for our students to see what it takes to compete at the highest level of our sport. We will take this knowledge as we enter a heavy training block.”

together. Awards were broken down by individual grade levels, with medals being given out to the top seven in each grade level.

Nodaway Valley had six total medalwinners. Besides individual champions Scar and Breheny, Brayten Funke finished second in the junior boys and Skyler Rawlings was second in the sophomore boys. Matthew Dickinson finished sixth in

Scar, ranked sixth in Class 1A, won the overall girls title by 26 seconds, finishing the 5K course in 20:21, with Des Moines Christian’s Oksana Covey second in 20:47.

Beatty was fourth overall for the Panthers, running 21:19.

Beatty beat a pair of ranked runners in Class 3A. Winterset junior Layken Gurwell is ranked 14th and Norwalk sophomore Kennedy Scallon is ranked 27th in Class 3A. Beatty beat Gurwell by 3 seconds and Scallon by 32 seconds.

Area volleyball Mount Ayr 3, SW Valley 0 CORNING — Macy Larsen served 26-of-26 with seven aces as Mount Ayr defeated P r i d e of Iowa Conference rival Larsen Southwest Valley Tuesday night, 25-13, 25-10, 25-11.

Kelcie Shields had 10 kills for the Raiderettes and Kirsten Dolecheck added six. Larsen provided 11 setting assists with Alyssa Johnson adding six.

Blair Glendenning led the defense with 20 digs and Kelcie Shields totaled five blocks. Johnson also served five aces while going 22-24 at the line.

“We came out ready to play tonight,” said Mount Ayr coach Tori Braby. “We are struggling in getting Kelcie the ball in the middle, but the other hitters have really stepped up and taken over. Macy Larsen had a great serving night.

I was happy with everyone’s effort and enthusiasm in getting the conference win.”

Southwest Valley had trouble mounting an offense with nine total kills, led by Danica Sunderman’s five. Taylor Damewood had five assists and three digs. Morgan Shuey served 11-11 with two aces.

“We did not serve receive or pass well tonight,” said Southwest Valley coach Lindsay Wetzel. “When we can’t stay in system we have no offense and we end up sending free balls over the net. Our serve percentage was low at 81 percent. We committed too many unforced errors. We’ll hit the gym and work to bring up

our intensity level and discipline.”

East Mills 3, SW Valley 0 MALVERN — East Mills took advantage of some Southwest Valley passing difficulties in taking a 25-14, 26-24, 25-20 sweep Thursday.

“We really struggled in set one with our serve receive and passing, which put us out of system for most of the set,” said Southwest Valley coach Lindsay Wetzel. “We have to do a better job at the start of matches to be ready to play. Set two was ours to win, but we had a critical communication error that swung the momentum to East Mills and we could not recover. The girls continued to play hard and didn’t give up.”

Danica Sunderman had a team-high 11 kills for the Timberwolves and Taylor Damewood set 19 assists.

K a t i e Taylor led the defense w i t h nine digs Damewood and Jacy Schafer had a pair of blocks.

East Union 3, Lenox 0 AFTON — East Union swept a Pride of Iowa Conference matchup with Lenox Tuesday, 25-14, 2520, 25-11.

McKayle Dudney led East Union (6-1) at the service line going 14-of14 with one ace. Rylee Mitchell was 10-10 with three aces and Olivia Eckels was 11-11. Kali Mertens was the leading attacker with 14 kills. Lenox fell to 2-2.

Adams County Speedway

By TRAVIS MAEDER Adams Co. Speedway

Editor’s note: This is the second in a two-part series on championship night at the Adams County Speedway.

CORNING — It was obvious all year long that Jesse Dennis was the top of The Poet BioRefining Modified Class, Dennis, who came into the night having already clinched the championship picked up his sixth win of the season and was also crowned 2015 King of The Hill.

Dennis dominated the first feature, winning in dominating fashion, as well as adding to his points lead.

Brian Foote finished in second, followed by Jeff James in third, Jeff Wiggins in fourth and Todd Van Eaton in fifth.

The second feature of the night would go to Jeff James who engaged in an entertaining battle with Dennis before being able to pull away at the end on his way to his second win of the season. Jon Plowman finished third, Brian Foote in fourth and Jeff Wiggins fifth. Dennis’ final margin over Wiggins was 74 points.

In The King of The Hills, Jesse Dennis defeated T.J Patterson. Jeff James defeated Ben Wolverton, Jon Plowman defeated Brian Foote and Jeff Wiggins defeated Todd Van Eaton in the first round. Round two saw Jesse Dennis defeat Jeff James and Jon Plowman defeat Jeff Wiggins. Dennis would hail victorious over Plowman in the finals to become the 2015 Poet BioRefining Modified King of The Hill.

Late models

Paul Glendenning came into Saturday with a 14 point lead over Sterling Perkins and a 16-point lead over John Hampel for the Coors Light Silver Bullet Late Models Track Championship. Josh Most started the first feature on the pole and would stay there throughout the race dominating the field on his way to his third win of the season, the first in a late model.

“Awesome” Al Zeitner marked his return to ACS with a runner up finish.

John Hampel chipped into his Glendenning’s points lead with a third place finish. Randy Foote finished in fourth followed by Glenden-

ning in fifth.

Glendenning came into the final feature of the night with a 12-point lead over Hampel and an 18 point lead over Perkins. The race itself, however was controlled

by Corey Zeitner. Zeitner would win his fourth race in just seven starts at ACS this season, all of which came in convincing fashion.

Randy Foote was the runner up while Most was able to follow up his feature win with a third place finish in the second feature. Hampel would finish in fourth with Perkins in fifth. Those finishes, however would not be enough to overtake Glendennings’ points lead as Paul clinched the championship with a sixth place finish, finishing the season with a 8 point lead over Hampel.

Junior varsity

CHARITON — All of the scoring occurred in a brief second-half flurry as the Creston/O-M JV defeated Chariton Monday night, 10-0.

The first half was scoreless. Creston/O-M kicked off to start the third quarter. Penalties and bad snaps backed up the Chargers to their own goal line for a punt.

Another bad snap resulted in the Charger punter being tackled by Dalten Bierle for a safety and 2-0 Panther lead.

Creston/O-M got the ball near midfield after the safety and drove 54 yards, culminating in a 20-yard touchdown pass from Seth Thompson to Dale Boyer.

Thompson then passed to Michael Stults for the twopoint conversion and that closed the scoring for the night.

“We got off to a sluggish start with some early mis-

cues and went into halftime tied at zero,” Creston/O-M coach Kevin Cooper said.

“We felt like we had left some points on the field.

We came out in the third quarter and scored a safety on their first possession and a touchdown on our first possession.”

The Panthers (1-1) host Winterset next Monday.

“Tough night on the gridiron,” Creston/O-M coach Jon Thomson said. “It’s one of those games where an opponent capitalizes on the big plays. We are getting better.

11 games and the Orange Bowl that season.

Sash played two seasons with the New York Giants, winning a Super Bowl ring in 2011. He was suspended for four games in 2012 for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy by testing positive for Adderall, a stimulant used primarily to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and the sleep disorder narcolepsy.

The Giants cut ties with Sash prior to the 2013 opener, reaching an injury settlement after he sustained a concussion in the preseason finale against New England.

Sash was arrested in May 2014 in Oskaloosa after police said he led officers on a four-block chase with a motorized scooter before running into a wooded area. Officers say Sash was shocked with a stun gun after he refused to be handcuffed.

Diagonal (1-2) plays at Orient-Macksburg Thursday, starting at 5:30 p.m.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Tyler Sash, a standout safety at Iowa who won a Super Bowl with the New York Giants, has died, the state medical examiner’s office said Tuesday. He was 27.

John Kraemer, the director of forensic operations for the medical examiner, told The Associated Press his office is investigating Sash’s death along with police in Oskaloosa, Iowa, Sash’s hometown.

Oskaloosa police said in a statement that emergency services were called to a residence Tuesday morning in response to an unresponsive male, which they said turned out to be Sash.

Foul play was not suspected. No cause of death has been determined, Kraemer said, and an autopsy was scheduled for Wednesday morning.

“We were all deeply saddened today to hear of the passing of Tyler.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Tyler’s family and friends and all the Hawkeyes he was so proud to represent,” the Giants said in a statement.

Sash started 37 games for the Hawkeyes from 200710, earning first-team AllBig Ten honors as a senior.

He was fourth all-time in interception return yardage in the Big Ten when he graduated, and his 13 picks are fifth-best in school history.

One of the best games of Sash’s career came in 2009 against I o w a S t a t e , Sash whom the Hawkeyes face on Saturday in Ames. Sash collected three interceptions in Iowa’s 35-3 victory, and the Hawkeyes went on to win

said. “What was nice, there were two girls ranked in Class 3A that Jessica beat.

Each time out she gains a little more confidence.”

E a s t Union junior Emma Harper finished 10th overall and placed third in the junior Harper girls with her time of 22:19.

Behind Beatty, Creston had five runners who ran within 27 seconds of each other.

Lexie Little, Amber Castillo, Rachel Shepherd, Madison Hance and Kiersten Latham all ran between 24:24 and 24:51. Little, Castillo, Shepherd and Hance formed a pack coming in during the junior and senior girls race, while Latham ran in the freshmen and sophomore girls race.

Little and Castillo each finished eighth in their respective grade levels, finishing one place away from earning a medal.

“There’s five girls that were within 27 seconds of each other,” Schlapia said.

“Those were our numbers two through six. We want to see that kind of bunching when we get into varsity and JV meets, but we do need to close that time on Jessica without her having to slow down.”

Overall, 19 of the 25 Panther runners who competed at Dallas Center-Grimes last week improved their times on a hillier course Tuesday.

That included 10 out of 15 girls improving and nine out of 10 boys improving.

“That’s a positive when you consider Dallas Center-Grimes was flat and the golf course at Winterset was a hillier course,” Schlapia said.

The Panthers return to action Thursday at Greene County. Races begin at 5 p.m. and are being held at a new venue this year.

Past years have seen races held on school grounds in Jefferson, but this year’s meet will be held at Spring Lake Park northeast of Jefferson.

Reservations due soon for ICA bull and heifer evaluation program AMES — The 2016 Iowa Cattlemen’s Association (ICA) Bull and Heifer Evaluation Program tests and sales will mark the 31st anniversary of the ICA service, which is well-known by both seedstock and commercial cattle producers.

Reservations for the Bull and Heifer Evaluation Program are on a first-come, first-served basis. Both consignment and private reservations for fall-born and spring-born bulls will be taken through Sept. 15, or until

pens are full. Heifer reservations can be made through Nov. 15, or until pens are full.

The fall bulls will be fed and evaluated at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, while the spring bulls and open heifers will be delivered to the Van Meter Feedyard near Guthrie Center.

The superior genetics that come from this program are offered to commercial cattle producers at three sales in Iowa auction barns next

spring: March 21, Bloomfield Livestock, Bloomfield; April 1, Dunlap Livestock, Dunlap; and May 6, Tama Livestock, Tama.

The bull performance test in Iowa was originally under the direction of the Iowa Beef Improvement Association (IBIA). In July 1985, IBIA dissolved and the performance testing program was merged into the ICA committee structure. The program has performance tested more than 7,400 elite bulls in its 31-year history.

Open heifers were added to the program in 1999 and more than 815 head have been offered for sale in the past 16 years.

The ICA BHEP has a long reputation of offering elite genetics to commercial breeders and other purebred producers. By participating in the program, seedstock producers — whether they have a small or large operation — can benchmark their genetics and compare their outcomes with those from other herds. Additionally,

there is a private reservation option which may be especially beneficial for smaller producers interested in a cost-effective way of gathering ultrasound and performance data on their herd, while reserving the right to take their stock home after the evaluation.

Throughout the test history, the Bull Evaluation Program committee has always strived to give bull and heifer buyers and seedstock producers more information to assist in their genetic se-

lection process. The program has undergone continuous improvement from being part of selection clinics, to adding ultrasound data and pelvic measurements, to including PI-BVD testing for all enrolled cattle and adding new EPDs and indexes.

For a reservation packet or for more information, contact Matt Deppe, ICA chief executive officer, at 515-296- 2266 or matt@iabeef.org or visit the ICA website at www.iacattlemen. org and click “programs.”

4-H Spotlight Connor Travis is a seventh grader at Mayflower Heritage Christian School.

1. What Connor & was the Peaches highlight of the county fair this summer?

- “I had a great time getting to participate in the cowboy mounted shooting event that was held on Saturday night. It was really fun to get to shoot

in front of a big crowd.”

2. What are you most looking forward to in 4-H this year? - “I always look forward to showing my horse Peaches and getting to spend the week at the fair hanging out with my friends.”

3. If you could meet someone famous, who would you want to meet and why? - “I would like to meet former Iowa Hawkeye running back Mark Weisman. Even though he wasn’t the biggest player, he always ran hard and never gave up.”
