Brammer walks to end Alzheimer’s for fifth year

By BAILEY POOLMAN

Saturday’s 1.6-mile walk begins 10 a.m. at McKinley Park in Creston.

Registration is available that morning before the walk.

Saturday will mark the fifth year Victoria Brammer has participated in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

Brammer, 36, of Creston lived eight years watching her grandmother, Irma Stryder, struggle with dementia.

“She was retired, so her and my grandpa traveled a lot. The first sign we noticed, they were traveling to Florida and she left her purse at a restaurant and didn’t realize it for quite some time,” Brammer said.

Brammer’s grandmother, nicknamed “Bobbi,” originally of Winterset, slowly started losing her memory starting in 2000, and then lost the ability to recognize her children. The change be-

came apparent to Brammer in 2004, when she and her family traveled to Colorado to visit.

“My brother traveled with us to go see her, and she thought he was her son Sam,” B r a m - Brammer mer said.

“It was really hard to see her call my brother Sam because Sam is a lot older now.”

Another moment Brammer had during the family trip to Colorado that year was taking photos of her mother Misti Fisher talking to Bobbi.

“My mom was talking to her, and I snapped a picture of my mom knowing her mom didn’t even know her,” Brammer said. “It was heartbreaking.”

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that gets worse over time. Short-term memory is affected first, and eventually things like difficulty speaking, disorientation, behavioural issues and mood swings occur. The cause of the disease is not fully understood, but there is a link to genetics.

Between 21 and 35 million people worldwide were affected with Alzheimer’s in 2010, with the majority of the people affected being 65 years old and older. In 2010, about

486,000 people died from the disease. Alzheimer’s is one of the most financially costly diseases in developed countries.

Brammer said her grandfather took care of her grandmother instead of sending her to a nursing home. He fed her soft foods, including her favorite mashed potatoes from KFC. By the time she died at age 83, Bobbi weighed 84 pounds.

“She passed away in 2008,” Brammer said. “It was more of a relief than anything not to see her confused and in pain.”

About three years later, Brammer started a group to walk with the Alzheimer’s Association’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Each year since 2011, she raises money and walks with her friends Jeanie Culbertson and Heather Scarberry to Please see ALZHEIMER’S, Page 2

On 9/11, appeals to remember as time passes NEW YORK (AP) — Sept. 11 victims’ relatives marked the anniversary of the terror attacks Friday in a subdued gathering at ground zero, saying their determination to commemorate their loss publicly hadn’t dimmed even as 14 years have passed and crowds at the ceremony have thinned.

Hundreds of victims’ relatives — fewer than thronged the observances in their early years — gathered for what has become a tradition of tolling bells, moments

of silence and the reading of the names of the nearly 3,000 people killed in the terror strikes at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

“We come every year. The crowds get smaller, but we want to be here. As long as I’m breathing, I’ll be here,” said Tom Acquaviva, 81, who lost his son, Paul Acquaviva, a systems analyst who died in the trade center’s north tower.

Carrying photos emblazoned

with the names of their loved ones, victims’ relatives prayed for peace, praised first responders and the armed forces and, mostly, sent personal messages of enduring loss and remembrance to loved ones some had never even had the chance to know.

“I wish I could meet you,” Valerie Arnold said to the memory of her uncle, firefighter Michael Boyle, who was off-duty but responded to the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, before she was born.

Later Friday, President Obama was scheduled to observe the anniversary with a visit to Fort Meade, Maryland, in recognition of

the military’s work to protect the country.

Sheriff Vandewater completes training Vandewater joined 26 other sheriffs from across the country for training on contemporary challenges facing America’s sheriffs.

■

AURORA, Colo. — Sheriff Jeffrey L. Vandewater of the Adair County Sheriff’s Office completed participation in the 108th session of the National Sheriffs’ Institute (NSI) held in Aurora, Colo., Aug. 31-Sept. 4, 2015. The NSI is the only national executive development program designed for sheriffs. This no-cost program is co-sponsored by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) and the National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA). Vandewater is the first sheriff of Adair County to graduate from the NSI. Vandewater joined 26 other sheriffs from across the country for training on contemporary challenges facing America’s sheriffs today. In light of those challenges, the sheriffs explored the role of the local sheriff in providing effective leadership for the public good in such areas as public safety, criminal justice system policy, community relations and organization effectiveness and efficiency.

“Sheriff Vandewater is a leader with vision for the Adair County Sheriff’s Office. It is an honor to have Sheriff Vandewater join the more than 2,500 graduates of the NSI since 1973,” said Hilary Burgess, NSA manager of training.

The NIC is a division of the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons.

It is the primary federal source of technical assistance, training and information services for state and local corrections. NIC provides a wide variety of services to the nation’s jails, most of which are the responsibility of sheriffs.

The NSA is a non-profit professional association located in Alexandria, Va. NSA represents the nearly 3,100 elected sheriffs across the nation and has more than 20,000 members, including law enforcement professionals, state and federal government employees, concerned citizens, students and others. Since 1940, NSA has served as an information clearinghouse for law enforcement professionals.

NSA also provides management training for sheriffs and their personnel in court security, crime victim services, domestic violence, homeland security initiatives, jail operations and traffic safety. Additionally, NSA administers the highly successful National Neighborhood Watch and Triad programs.

Report: More Iowa schools not meeting targets in federal law DES MOINES (AP) — A new report says more Iowa schools and districts are falling short of annual targets set through the No Child Left Behind law, and state officials say they want revisions to the federal benchmarks.

The report released Thursday says more than 1,000 schools out of roughly 1,330 in the state did not meet certain targets on student population and demographics. There was an increase in the num-

ber of schools considered “in need of assistance” on certain progress.

Department Director Ryan Wise says despite the report, he feels the majority of Iowa schools and districts are not failing. He says the law must be revised on the congressional level to develop a better system of accountability.

Several states have been granted waivers from components of the law, which passed in 2001.

Pentagon employees.

Elsewhere, Ohio’s statehouse was displaying nearly 3,000 flags — representing the lives lost — in an arrangement designed to represent the sites of the attacks. Sacramento, California, was commemorating 9/11 in conjunction with a parade honoring three Sacramento-area friends who tackled a heavily armed gunman on a Paris-bound high-speed train last month.

Some Americans were observing the anniversary in their own ways.

“I don’t go to the memorial. I don’t watch it on TV. But I make sure, every year, I observe a moment of silence at 8:46,” electrician Jeff Doran, 41, said Friday as he stood across the street from the trade center, where the signature, 1,776-foot One World Trade Center tower has opened since last Sept. 11.

After years of private commemorations at ground zero, the anniversary now also has become an occasion for public reflection on the site of the

terror attacks.

An estimated 20,000 people flocked to the memorial plaza on the evening of Sept. 11 last year, the first year the public was able to visit on the anniversary. The plaza was to open three hours earlier after the anniversary ceremony.

“When we did open it up, it was just like life coming in,” National Sept.

11 Memorial and Museum President Joe Daniels said this week. While the memorial will still be reserved for victims’ relatives and other invitees during the morning ceremony, afterward, “the general public that wants to come and pay their respects on this most sacred ground should be let in as soon as possible.”

In Washington, some members of Congress planned to spend part of the anniversary discussing federal funding for the ground zero memorial. The House Natural Resources Committee has scheduled a hearing Friday on a proposal to provide up to $25 million a year for the plaza. The federal government contributed heavily

to building the institution; leaders have tried unsuccessfully for years to get Washington to chip in for annual costs, as well.

An estimated 21 million people have visited the plaza for free since its 2011 opening.

The museum, which charges up to $24 per ticket, has seen almost 3.6 million visitors since its May 2014 opening, topping projections by about 5 percent, Daniels said. Any federal funding could lead to expanded discounts for school and other groups, but there are no plans to lower the regular ticket price, he said.

This year’s anniversary also comes as advocates

for 9/11 responders and survivors are pushing Congress to extend two federal programs that promised billions of dollars in compensation and medical care. Both programs are set to expire next year.

Army Sgt. Edwin Morales had those responders in mind as he attended the ground zero ceremony in remembrance of his cousin firefighter Ruben “Dave” Correa.

“We must never forget that day. People are still dying because of what happened,” both on battlefields and from illnesses that some who responded to the attacks have developed after exposure to toxic dust, Morales said.

No names, please Dear Heloise: Today I received my third email offer for “PERSONALIZED” BACKPACKS. Please do not put your child’s name (especially elementary students) visibly on a backpack. A child can get a false sense of safety and security if a stranger is able to call them by name. Never put your child in possible danger with clothing or other items visibly displaying their name.

— M.C., via email Thank you for this important hint. A personalized backpack sounds like such a nice gesture or gift. But today, it’s a whole different world. Just because someone calls your child by name does not mean they really know your child.

Security experts suggest that you and your child think of a question or code word that only the two of you know.

If someone comes to pick up your child or the person says they are a friend, they must know the “game” of the secret password. If the person does not, tell your child to run, get away and find an adult they know — a teacher, crossing guards, a neighbor. A good lesson that will keep them safe. — Heloise

HEALTH

Dermatologist Q&A: essential tips for naturally vibrant and moisturized skin (BPT) — From creams and gels to serums and oils, moisturizers are often at the forefront of a woman’s beauty routine. However, moisture can also be regarded for the negative effects it can have on skin, as in the case of sweat and surface wetness that can lead to a range of various conditions. These quintessential examples of “good moisture” and “bad moisture” demonstrate that we should consider both when it comes to a comprehensive skin care routine.

Dove Dermatologist Dr. Ellen Marmur shares the difference between the good and the bad, while offering her tips for achieving softer, smoother skin from head to toe.

Q: First, how does our skin differ from place to place on our bodies?

A: Fundamentally, all skin is made up of the same building blocks, but different characteristics such as thickness, pigmentation, hair follicles and sweat glands all factor into how we care for different parts of the body. For example, the skin on our neck and face is very fine, while the

Our kids always liked passages like this when they weren’t feeling well, and there’s a lesson in it for you, too! In Winnie the Pooh, gloomy Eeyore tries to push aside depression: “It’s snowing still,” he says gloomily.

“So it is.” (Answers Pooh.)

“And freezing.” “Is it?”

(Pooh again.)

“Yes,” says Eeyore.

“However ... we haven’t had an earthquake lately.”

If that doesn’t bring a smile to your face, head to the kitchen for some comfort food, but choose wisely! If you’re feeling blue, go for great-tasting fresh food, and here’s why: A new study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reveals that eating inflammation-producing refined carbs and sugary foods can make you flat-out depressed.

Looking at data about added and total sugars consumed by around 70,000 women, researchers discovered that those who ate high-glycemic index diets increased their risk of depression by 22 percent. The GI ranks foods by how fast it is converted to sugar in your blood stream from 1 (lowest/ slowest) to 100 (highest/fastest). Foods with the highest GI include white bread, instant oatmeal, short-grain white rice, you get the idea.

In general, processing and cooking style ups the GI. Juice is way higher than fresh fruit; mashed potatoes higher than baked; and soft cooked pasta higher than al dente.

Study participants who ate the most fiber, non-juice fruits and vegetables had a much lower risk of depression. So dig into 100 percent whole-grain cereal topped

skin on our arms and legs have more sweat glands and hair follicles. There are also unique hybrid areas such as our underarms, where the skin is fine like on our neck, but also has more sweat glands and hair follicles.

Q: With so many characteristics, does all skin need moisture?

A: Absolutely. The skin is an intricate protective layer of cells that requires adequate hydration to stay healthy and looking its best. A lack of moisture can weaken the stratum corneum (our outermost epidermal layer), which helps protect underlying tissue from bacteria and enzymes. In addition, moisture contrib-

utes to the overall softness and smoothness of skin and can help reduce itchy dryness, uncomfortable irritation and visible redness.

Throughout the day, our skin loses moisture due to a range of factors - from fabrics we wear to various climate conditions - and that moisture needs to be replenished in order to

maintain the skin’s overall balance.

Q: What is the difference between good and bad moisture?

A: “Good moisture” is an important element of proper skin care. It refers to applying topical moisturizers that are formulated to draw moisture into the outer layer of our skin to replenish hydration lost throughout the day.

“Bad moisture” refers to surface moisture that can disrupt the skin’s healthy barrier. It can come in the form of sweat that leaves behind salt, enzymes and odor-causing bacteria or it can come from prolonged exposure to water (e.g., a day in the pool, a long, hot shower) that can actually cause the skin to crack and fissure.

Q: How do we address the good and the bad?

A: Be sure to drink plenty of water every day - it’s a golden rule for a reason.

Have your fun in the pool and enjoy your luxurious showers, but try to keep water exposure to around 15 minutes at a time. Lastly, we often think of places like our face, neck, hands

with fresh berries and walnut halves and a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt. That’s happy food!

BLOWING UP EAR INFECTIONS The European Union stepped squarely into the party-pooper zone a few years ago by issuing a Toy Safety Directive declaring that it was off-limits for kids 8 and younger to blow up a balloon on their own.

Now it’s been found that kids with persistent ear infections (otitis media with effusion or OME) who used a device to blow up a balloon using one nostril eased their own discomfort and resolved ear infections without having to resort to antibiotics or surgery.

According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 90 percent of kids have at least one ear infection before age 10; many have long-term infections that cause sticky fluid buildup, risking hearing damage.

Avoiding deafness with antibiotic treatment may be necessary in the case of chronic ear infections, but often kids are given antibiotics unnecessarily -- 80 percent of the time, the infections would clear up on their own. Overprescribing contributes to antibiotic resistance and damages the gut biome, making kids vulnerable to health problems later in life.

A journal report on the balloon contraption, called Otovent, shows that it pro-

vides significant improvement in kids’ OME: 47 percent of children 4 to 11 using balloon therapy achieved normal inner-ear pressure in a month.

If your child has a temperature above 100 F, discharge of pus or blood from the ear, lingering or worsening symptoms, or if your child is younger than 3 months old and has a fever, get her to a doctor pronto, but see if your child’s ear problems can be deflated without using antibiotics or surgery.

A NEW WAY TO REVERSE FATTY LIVER DISEASE Morgan Spurlock made his documentary “Super-Size Me” by eating nothing but food from McDonald’s for a month.

The consequences? His weight and LDL cholesterol zoomed up, he felt lethargic and depressed and, said one of his doctors, his liver turned into pate. Now, that might not be the standard definition of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, but it sure paints a vivid and accurate picture of a condition that afflicts around 30 percent of Americans.

NAFLD is the infusion of liver cells with fat, caused by insulin resistance, obesity, diabetes, elevated triglycerides and poor nutrition. You see, as you put on weight, your body becomes insulin-INSENSITIVE. Then you can’t use insulin efficiently to shuttle sugar

into your cells for energy.

Instead, sugar gets stored in the liver as fat -- and you’ve got NAFLD. Although most folks with fatty liver don’t develop cirrhosis or liver cancer, the risk is there.

Making lifestyle changes, such as avoiding fast food (remember Morgan!), losing weight and becoming less insulin-resistant often can reverse fatty liver. Now researchers at the University of Haifa found that there’s another way to restore liver health: Doing several sets of resistance exercises using your arms, chest and legs for 40 minutes, three times a week. It measurably reduces the fat content of the liver by reducing inflammation and lowering blood sugar levels. So get some stretch bands and hand weights, and let your liver live.

GREEN PACKING When the roadies strike the stage and load the trucks for Billy Joe Armstrong’s pop-punk band, some might say that’s Green Day Packing. In 1919, when Frank Peck gave Curly Lambeau $500 for team uniforms, well, that was the start of the Green Bay Packers. And when you go and pack big greens into your diet, you’ll have “The Time of Your Life,” teaming up with these defenders of really good health.

A new study, published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition says that spinach is packed with thylakoids (little packets of goodness found in a plant’s green-making chlorophyll) that actually make you feel fuller, block fat digestion and boost weight loss and reduction of lousy LDL cholesterol.

The researchers used spinach extract. They fed overweight and obese women 5 grams of it before breakfast for 12 weeks. But we say the smartest move is to make every day a Green Day. Spinach, kale, collards, beet greens, watercress, Swiss chard and arugula pack the powers of thylakoids, plus much more.

They’re huge sources of fiber, vitamins C, K and anti-aging A (it makes skin smooth and soft), along with folic acid (it guards your heart and memory, and fights birth defects), lutein (a vision protector) and essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium. Go for two servings a day (1 cup cooked, or 2 cups raw). Or spin some leaves up in a blender in a tasty green drink with berries for sweetness; make it 3 parts greens to 1 part fruit.

BEING UNDERNOURISHED CAN PACK ON POUNDS Actor Jack O’Connell went on a 700-calorie-a-day diet to portray the emaciated prisoner of war Olympian Louis Zamperini in Angelina Jolie’s movie “Unbroken.” In the short term, he could get away with it, but it’s no surprise that in the long term, robbing the body of essential nutrients can trigger metabolic problems, hormone disruptions and immune system challenges.

What might surprise you is that even if you eat a lot more than 700 calories, you can still be undernourished or malnourished, and it may be what’s causing you to pack on pounds and raise

and legs when it comes to moisturizing, but don’t forget those hybrid parts of the body like your underarms where you need to apply “good moisture” and ward off “bad moisture.”

Q: What products can you recommend to help?

A: I always try to recommend multitasking products to streamline and simplify my patients’ daily routine.

Dove Advanced Care AntiPerspirant/Deodorant is a great option for underarms because it provides 48-hour odor and wetness protection and is formulated with moisturizing humectants to provide the added benefit of softer, smoother skin.

I also recommend finding a multitasking daily facial moisturizer that has an SPF of 30 or higher with builtin UVA/UVB protection.

Another great tip is to wear moisture-wicking technical fabrics that will not only keep you cool, but also prevent sweat and bacteria from remaining on your skin.

your levels of lousy LDL cholesterol, blood glucose and blood pressure.

That’s the conclusion of researchers who looked at how eating two fruitbased micronutrient- and fiber-dense supplement bars (the researchers’ own recipe) every day affected normal-weight, overweight and obese folks. Their findings: Eating essential (and previously missing) nutrients, triggered weight loss in overweight and obese folks. And in everyone it improved important health indicators such as inflammation, insulin resistance, LDL cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose levels.

So, for your personal best, fill up on nine servings of produce daily (37 percent of U.S. adults eat vegetables less than once a day), along with lean protein and 100 percent whole grains. Dodge added sugars and syrups, trans and most sat fats. Take a daily multivitamin (half in the morning, half at night), along with 900 mg of algal oil. Ask your doc for a blood test to check your vitamin D levels and to see what else you need to protect yourself from undernutrition. *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

Pats roll FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Whether sprinting out of the tunnel for warmups, watching former teammates and the Patriots owner carrying Lombardi Trophies, or tearing apart the Steelers, Tom Brady relished every moment of this NFL season opener.

“It was a pretty special night,” said Brady, who threw for four touchdowns, three to favorite target Rob Gronkowski, in a 28-21 victory Thursday night over undermanned and generally ineffective Pittsburgh. “I was excited, our whole team was excited. We haven’t had one of these games in a long time.”

It was as if he never was away. Of course, he never really was, and with “Deflategate” behind him, the star quarterback was back to his unstoppable self, going 25 of 32 for 288 yards.

“It’s always fun being out there and getting an opportunity to go play,” added Brady, whose 161 victories are tops for a starting quarterback with one franchise in NFL history. He set a team-record with 19 straight completions; and he had his 23rd game with four or more touchdown passes, third all-time along with Brett Favre.

Reds romp CINCINNATI -- Todd Frazier and Brandon Phillips homered and drove in three runs apiece as the last-place Cincinnati Reds romped the NL Central-leading St. Louis Cardinals 11-0 on Thursday night.

The loss for St. Louis, which opened a 10-game, 11-day road trip, is their fourth in the last five games.

Joey Votto doubled and singled, drove in and scored one run apiece to add to the damage on Jaime Garcia (8-5), who lasted a season-low 4 1/3 innings and gave up six runs.

Meanwhile, John Lamb (1-3) earned his first career major league win, working five innings and shaking off control problems that led to six walks. He also struck out six and gave up just three hits. Four relievers completed the shutout for the Reds.

NYPD error NEW YORK — Former tennis pro James Blake says the first person he called after being thrown to the ground and handcuffed by New York City police officers Wednesday in a case of mistaken identity was his wife, and she is the reason he is speaking publicly about the incident.

“She said, ‘What if this happened to me?’ Blake said Thursday on ABC’s Good Morning America of his wife, Emily. “Immediately, I was furious because I thought about what I would be thinking if someone did that to my wife, if someone tackled her in broad daylight, paraded her around in a busy, crowded sidewalk in New York City with handcuffs with her cuffed behind her back, and taking away her dignity.

JEFFERSON — A new course at the Greene County Invite didn’t faze Creston senior Cooper McDermott here Thursday.

McDermott bounced back from Tuesday’s loss to Class 1A third-ranked Shane Breheny of Nodaway Valley by winning the Class AA race in the drizzle at Spring Lake Park northeast of Jefferson.

Recent years have seen the meet held on the high school grounds, with this year being the first time it’s been at Spring Lake Park in nearly 15 years.

The Creston boys team placed sixth with 143 points in the nine-team Class AA field, while the Panther girls finished fourth with 106

points.

The Panthers had a total of four top-20 medalists, with McDermott being joined by Ben Irr on the boys side, while Jessica Beatty and Lexie Little medaled on the girls side.

McDermott, ranked third in Class 3A, led the boys race from beginning to end, breaking out of a pack McDermott with Winterset’s Curtis Harryman and Kuemper Catholic’s Chandler Hagen in the final mile to post a 14-second victory in 16:56.24.

“This is his first time under 17 in these first three

races,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “Cooper needed this race today. This was good for his confidence.

This was an outstanding, very steady race for him.”

Irr just missed out on a top10 finish, crossing the finish line in 11th place with his Irr time of 18:21.06.

Irr has medaled in all three races so far this season.

“Ben wasn’t able to keep within a minute of Cooper like he did on Tuesday, but still medaling, that’s something we’ll take,” Schlapia said.

O-M sweeps Diagonal for first win

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

ORIENT — Orient-Macksburg had a successful start and the attitude on the floor reflected that, sparking the Bulldogs to a 25-10, 25-21, 25-22 sweep of Diagonal here Thursday for the team’s first win of the season.

Orient-Macksburg improved to 1-3 for the season, while Diagonal dropped to 1-3.

“I felt like we are finally starting to play together more,” Orient-Macksburg head coach Katie Geidel said. “Their attitudes change a lot when they’re playing well. I think that shows. When they get down, things kind of spiral out of control quickly, and when they were up, they’re up. That was good. You could tell they were having fun and playing with a lot more hustle.”

Orient-Macksburg controlled the first game, as Diagonal struggled with serve receive.

The Bulldogs served four aces in the opening game, including an ace serve by Riley Rasmussen to end the game.

Orient-Macksburg bolted to a 10-3 lead in game two and held a 16-10 lead, before Diagonal fought back into the game thanks to three straight ace serves

Girls fourth

Creston’s girls team placed a solid fourth place behind 15th-ranked Denison-Schleswig, Winterset and Algona.

Denison-Schleswig easily won the team competition by taking the top two spots overall, placing four in the top 10 and all five scorers in

the top 11.

Beatty once again set the pace for Creston, finishing sixth in a 5K time of 21:41.63.

L i t t l e earned Creston’s Beatty o t h e r medal by placing 17th in 22:57.

In doing so, Little was able to close the gap on Beatty from Tuesday’s meet in Little Winterset.

by Allison Norris, making the score 16-15.

The Maroonettes eventually tied the game at 1919 on a Kasydi Klommhaus ace, but Amber Rinke went on a service string to make the score 23-19. Diagonal closed to within 23-21 on a Cassie Lohmann ace, but Brooklyn Sammons ended the game with an ace serve of her own at 25-21.

Diagonal’s first lead of the match came at 1-0 in the third game, before eventually building a 12-5 lead with Stormie Buchanan at the service line. Buchanan served 9-of-10 for the game with one ace.

Orient-Macksburg ended the Maroonette run and then Shyla Waldhauser single-handedly served the Bulldogs back into the game.

Waldhauser served six straight points for the Bulldogs, with five of those points coming off ace Waldhauser serves, tying the game at 12-12.

ISU’s SACKMAMBA45 tries to live up to Twitter handle AMES, (AP) — Dale Pierson goes by SACKMAMBA45 on Twitter, and he showed why in Iowa State’s season opener.

The senior had three sacks and an interception in the Cyclones’ 31-7 victory over Northern Iowa on Saturday.

Pierson will face a better offensive line when Iowa visits next Saturday, but his effort and the talent on the rest of the defensive line have fueled hopes that this unit could be one of the best in coach Paul Rhoads’ tenure.

Pierson decided on his Twitter handle after announcing that he would sign with Iowa State and learning that a Cyclone fan had posted that the team just picked up a sack mamba.

So is he?

“Now I feel like I am,” Pierson said Monday. “I’ve just got to keep going.”

After transferring from a junior college last year, Pierson didn’t contribute until late in the season.

30th in 19:30, while Dylan Linch in 68th and Trey Gift in 69th rounded out the Panthers’ team scoring.

Ten out of 12 boys runners who competed at Winterset on Tuesday improved their times at Greene County on Thursday.

“It was nice to see them meet some goal times,” Schlapia said. “We still need to work on getting those times down. We want to make sure our top five or six are in the top half.”

Once he caught on, he became a force.

Pierson had 22 tackles and 3 1/2 sacks in the last four games of 2014 and continued that solid play in this year’s opener.

Still, he knows the danger of carrying a nickname that brings such expectations.

“I try not to let it get to my head too much because that stuff can make you or break you,” he said. “I just try to go out there and play my game, try not to pay attention to it too much. But I enjoy the nickname.”

The line often has been a weak link in Iowa State defenses. The Cyclones have struggled to put pressure on quarterbacks and haven’t been able to stop good running teams.

Rhoads and his staff sought help from JC transfers such as Pierson, and the work might be paying off.

Transfers Demond Tucker, Gabe Luna and Jhaustin Thomas all played Saturday night for the first time

along the defensive front, and each of them contributed.

Tucker, a 296-pound tackle who was the national junior college defensive player of the year in 2013, was credited with only two tackles, but was a disruptive force much of the night. He was in Aaron’s Bailey face when the quarterback’s screen pass was intercepted by Pierson, a play that set up the Cyclones’ first touchdown and helped turn the momentum.

“You see explosiveness, you see the ability to use his hands to get off blocks,” Rhoads said of Tucker.

“We saw a little too much independence, doing things his own way as opposed to the discipline needed on defense. But he’ll get that fixed. He’s a little bit different player than we’ve been playing with.”

The Cyclones recorded six sacks in the victory, Please see ISU, page 9A

ADEL — ADM held off Creston’s bid to tie the match at 1-1 and went on to sweep the Panthers Thursday night in nonconference volleyball action, 25-17, 2523, 25-16.

In a busy season of tournament play already this season, the Tigers improved to 9-10 for the season, while Creston slipped to 1-2. The Panthers play in the Fillie Invitational in Shenandoah on Saturday.

There was no question which team mounted the more effective attack. Sophomore Sami Schepers had 11 kills for an ADM team that totaled 30 kills.

Sydney Dunphy was Creston’s leader with seven kills.

Jenna Taylor added five.

“ADM is a pretty scrappy team. They don’t let a lot of balls drop,” Creston coach Polly Luther said. “But we couldn’t put together a consistent attack. In the first game we maybe had six kills.

We weren’t attacking the ball effectively, too many out of bounds or into the net.”

Although the Panthers had some court coverage issues, too, Luther said. Alyssa Higgins had a strong Higgins passing night.

“Alyssa was almost always on target with her passes and covered the court well,” Luther said.

Complicating Creston’s ability to mount an offense is having two ailing setters.

Freshman Jaxie Luther is battling through a knee injury suffered against Clarinda last week, and senior Gracie Russell has back issues.

“They’re both playing through some pain, but their movements are compromised,” Luther said. “It’s more important than ever to get our passes on target to the setters.”

Luther had 13 assists Thursday while serving 7-9 with a pair of aces.

Jami Sickels served 17-17 and led the team with 12 digs.

H i g g i n s Sickels

had an efficient serve receiving night at 10-12 and also served 10-10 with an ace.

Creston’s depth will be tested Saturday, as the varsity tries to defend its title at Shenandoah, while the JV and freshman squads compete at Clarinda.

ADM 3, Creston 0 Serving (aces) — Cr: Jami Sickels 17-17, Alyssa Higgins 10-10 (1), Jaxie Luther 7-9 (2), Sydney Dunphy 8-9, Gracie Russell 5-6, Alli Thomsen 5-7.

Junior varsity

ADM swept Creston in junior varsity play Thursday, 25-13, 25-11.

Taylor Fredrickson had three kills for Creston (03) and Kristy Powers had two. Taylor Buxton led the defense with seven digs.

In serve receive, Steph Hemsworth was 2-4 and Taylor Fredrickson 3-8.

“We continue to lack communication,” Creston coach Jessie McClellan said. “When we talk we play like we’re capable of playing. When we don’t talk, our level of play goes down. I saw some good things from some girls tonight but am still looking for someone to step up and be our leader.”

Freshmen

ADM freshmen swept Creston Thursday, 25-15, 25-17, 25-19.

Creston coach Mike McCabe said the Panthers (1-2) were playing close in each of the first two sets before an outstanding ADM server went on long scoring runs.

“This was the best team we’ve played,” McCabe said. “I was pleased with how we competed at 11-11 in game one and they went on a 10-0 run with a good jump server. It was 12-12 in game two when the same girl went on an 8-0 run.”

Top servers for Creston were Caitlyn Bargstadt 7-7, Grace Root 5-5, Laura Weis 5-5, Emma Christensen 6-7.

CORNING — Southwest Valley overcame a rough start in beating Martensdale-St. Marys Thursday, 15-25, 29-27, 25-14, 21-25, 15-11.

The 29-27 marathon victory to pull even at 1-1 proved to be a key stage of the twohour match, coach Lindsay Wetzel said.

“We came out of the gates slow in the first set and dug ourselves a 1-8 hole,” Wetzel said. “We just couldn’t recover from that in set one, and our serving was poor.

The girls did a nice job in set two by improving their serve and cutting down unforced errors. We are continuing to try different rotations.”

Wetzel said Danica Sunderman had a strong night at the net with 17 kills and two blocks. Jacy Schafer provide six kills on the off side and provided some key blocks.

Taylor Damewood had 33 setting assists and served s e v e n a c e s .

Sunderman and Damewood each Damewood had seven digs and Katie Taylor had six.

“It was great to see the kids fight back and work hard to pull out a win,” Wetzel said.

“Jessica ran a very solid race once again,” Schlapia said. “We challenged the girls to cut the gap on Jessica after the first two meets. They did that, but we weren’t together in our bunches like we were in our first two races. Lexie was within 76 seconds of Jessica. After that, we had some gaps.”

Rachel Shepherd in 24th, Madison Hance in 28th and Danielle Castillo in 31st rounded out the team scoring for the Panthers.

“We had a gap of 40 to 45 seconds between each other,” Schlapia said. “We’re hoping to have more people closing the gap on Jessica.

This is Danielle Castillo’s most competitive race I’ve seen her run.”

Ten of the 14 girls who competed at Winterset on Tuesday improved their times on Greene County’s course Thursday.

“It was a new course for everybody,” Schlapia said.

“It kind of had a cross country feel to it, because you did go up into some wooded areas and you were on some trails. It turned from being warm and muggy during the girls race to a little bit of a drizzle in the boys race.

That’s something you’ll deal with in cross country.”

Creston next returns to action Monday at Ballard.

Ballard’s meet has been condensed from four classes down to two, with both classes running at the same time and being sorted at the finish chute.

“One thing that was huge tonight was they only missed four or five serves on the whole night,” Geidel said about her team. “It’s nice to see your senior (Waldhauser) come in and bring you out of that hole when we really needed her. She did a good job.

She’s a good leader for us.”

Diagonal regained a 1615 lead on a Klommhaus ace and later, Norris smacked one of her teamhigh six kills to tie the game at 17-17.

After Orient-Macksburg took an 18-17 lead, Emily Newton gave Diagonal a 20-18 lead.

The Bulldogs rallied to take a 23-21 lead, however, and after Diagonal cut it to 23-22, the Bulldogs finished off the victory with two straight points.

“I would give credit to both of our seniors (Wald-

hauser and Rinke) for really helping to keep the morale high while we’re out there,” Geidel said.

“Brooklyn Sammons is a sophomore and she does a nice job of keeping everyone in the game and motivated. Our passing tonight was so much better that we were really able to see what she could do as a setter. That was fun to see them get some attacks.”

Orient-Macksburg hosts Paton-Churdan at 5:30 p.m. Monday, while Diagonal hosts Mormon Trail at 5:30 p.m. Monday.

the most by an ISU defense since the 2005 Texas Bowl, and made 13 tackles for a loss, the first time they had more than 10 in a game since the 2005 opener.

“You’ve heard me preach that production is what we’re looking for out of

the defensive front and we got production out of that group,” Rhoads said. “Pierson certainly led the way, but a bunch of them showed up and they were active all night long, whether it was pushing the pocket or forcing the run game wider or squeezing the run down quickly.”
