Creston aims to be home base for veterans

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

There is no place like home.

Creston is working toward meeting the standards to become eligible for a statewide program to help veterans find a place to work and live after their time in the service.

Gov. Terry Branstad signed the broad, bi-partisan piece of legislation on Memorial Day. The Home Base Iowa Act contains multiple provisions ranging from tax exemptions and homeownership as-

sistance to license plates and education benefits for veterans.

In Union County, support from both community organizations and businesses is needed.

“We are trying to find ways that we can bring veterans to this area through the difAbel ferent jobs that are available to them,” Denny Abel, quartermaster for the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1797, said.

A support fund has been set up to provide financial support for Home Base Iowa in Union County. The funds will be used to help offset the cost of returning and relocated veterans.

The program calls for 10 percent of businesses in the area to sign on as a Home Based Iowa Community business.

It also asked that the community develop welcome/incentive packages to recruit veterans to the area.

“They are being thrown so much information, it may be missed while they are being discharged

out,” Ellen Gerharz, executive director at Creston Chamber of Commerce, said.

“If they have a family member that says Iowa has this home Gerharz based program, it might give them an idea to check into it.”

Recruiting

A taskforce will work to reach out to veterans seeking employment and try to partner them with local businesses.

Once Creston is set up as part of Home Base Iowa, it will be eligible to pull from a state pool of veterans looking for an opportunity to live and work in the area.

A state recruiter based out of Ottumwa will help veterans find a job or an area to live that matches their experience. If Creston is a match, an information package will be sent to the veteran and employers will be contacted to set up interviews.

Branstad offers disaster relief to Union County Hazy: Lorimor Volunteer Firefighter Marriah Love sprays water on a shed to keep a fire down near Thayer Monday. According to Lorimor Volunteer Assistant Fire Chief Chad Jurgensen, Lorimor firefighters were dispatched 1 p.m. to 1735 Violet Ave. for a shed on fire. The shed is owned by Thomas and Jean Boots. Jurgensen said the fire possibly started by hot or smoldering embers, and contents lost included the shed, various tools, tractor, trailer, truck, utility vehicle (Gator), boat and two lawn mowers. Damage estimate is between $350,000 and $400,000.

Study finds big wealth gap in rural Iowa counties AMES (AP) — A new study by a sociologist at Iowa State University found three rural Iowa counties were among the top 10 in the nation in growth of income equality over more than a decade.

The gap is less obvious because showy displays of wealth are typically frowned upon in places

where agriculture is the main economic driver, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, sociologist David Peters told The Des Moines Register.

Emmet County was fifth on the list, O’Brien was seventh and Worth was ninth in the growth of inequality between 2000 and 2012.

“That’s shocking. It’s re-

ally a phenomenal jump,” Peters said. “It’s strongly affected by farm income.”

The growth of biofuels and increase in farm commodity prices drove up incomes for some households.

Because rural counties have low populations, the wealth gap can grow quickly when a relatively small number of households increase their

incomes. There are fewer farmers now and some middle-skill jobs in manufacturing have disappeared, leaving people who don’t farm with fewer options.

Eight of the 10 Iowa counties with the biggest wealth gaps were rural. The Please see WEALTH GAP, Page 2

the Iowa Department of Education said 66 percent of 1,288 public schools missed targets for test participation and proficiency in reading and mathematics during the 2013-2014 school year. During the previous school year, 64 percent of schools did not

meet the standards set by the law.

But Department of Education Director Brad Buck said the accountability standards set by the federal law are not working well in Iowa, arguing they don’t properly reflect progress

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa students should be learning how to make informed financial choices as part of their education, Gov. Terry Branstad said Monday, as he accepted a series of recommendations from a group charged with reviewing financial literacy teaching in the state.

Iowa school districts are expected to teach certain financial lessons to K-12 students. The group was formed by the state Department of Education to assess the current offerings and provide recommendations for improvement.

Those recommendations include revising the current standards to provide more clarity to districts and establishing ways to measure if school districts are meeting the goals.

“Financial skills are essential. Which is why they

DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad issued a disaster proclamation Monday for Union County which suffered damage after severe storms and rain on Sept. 9.

Areas of Union County received 6 inches of rainfall during the storms. Two inch hail was also reported north of Lenox near Union County.

Under the declaration, the county can use state resources to recover from the storm.

In addition, households that meet certain income requirements can apply for grants to help pay for expenses related to storm recovery. Those seeking such grants can get more information on the Iowa Department of Human Services’ website.

you know to be there on time, you know work ethics,” Abel said.

Gerharz said the program helps attract new veterans to the state, but also helps returning Iowans make an easier transition into nonmilitary lifestyle.

“We are meeting again in the first part of October,” Abel said. “We will go out to these different jobs and see what they want. We want to get a list of people who are interested.”

Types of assistance The largest funding component of Home Base Iowa is the homeownership assistance program.

It will provide $5,000 to

eligible veterans for down payment or closing costs of a home.

Home Base Iowa makes military pensions fully exempt from state income tax and encourages Iowa’s occupational licensing boards to adopt new rules to credit military training toward the licensing process.

The program also grants in-state tuition to veterans, their spouses and dependents.

“The key is getting the word out to hopefully make their transition easier,” Gerharz said. “Unemployment for veterans is much higher, we just want to make them comfortable and help them readjust.”

Department of Education Director Brad

Buck said school districts will continue to have flexibility over how they meet these standards.

The department has assigned a staff member to oversee the issue of financial literacy and will try to provide resources for teachers and administrators, he said.

The federal law requires annual testing to show proficiency in reading and mathematics. Some states have received waivers granting permission to ignore parts of the law.

Iowa has applied, but has not been granted any exemption.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan has called for a replacement to No Child Left Behind. He has said the existing law does not allow school leaders to use common sense to determine which schools are failing and which are statistical anomalies.

In Emmet County, the poorest households saw their share of income de-

crease nearly 27 percent, while the richest saw theirs grow by 17 percent.

“Iowa has never had a wealthy class and a poverty class, but we are getting more like the rest of the nation,” Peters said.

OPINION

Iowa Public Information Board answers public record question Question: What police and sheriff’s records are open to the public and press?

Answer: Access to law enforcement records is spelled out in detail in an attorney general’s opinion, “Weeg to Holt,” 82-10-3. That opinion interprets Chapter 22.7(5), which provides public access to

“the date, time, specific location, and immediate facts and circumstances surrounding a crime or incident.”

The opinion notes that a news reporter or citizen does not have to know about a crime or incident to obtain information about it. The request could be a general one, to

review the public record of police activities during the past 24 hours: “A citizen may request [Chapter 22.7(5)] information for a particular day or time, or for any number of days or times. The request is not required to specify the particular criminal incident for which the information is requested.”

Generally, the attorney general opinion calls for routine access to all “date, time, specific location and immediate facts and circumstances” information, and the record custodian carries “the burden of establishing facts necessary to withhold public records ...”

As with all confidential record

exclusions listed in Iowa Code Section 22.7, the lawful custodian, a court or another person duly authorized to release the information can release records under this section. Note that other Iowa statutes and federal laws may exclude release of certain information in law enforcement records.

Letters to the editor

A big thank you goes out to Care Initiative, Hospice Care out of Greenfield From Jan Lesan Creston

Betty Hobbs left us in August.

It was her wish to stay at home and pass away. With the help from Hospice, Care Initiatives out of Greenfield, her wish was possible. Care Initiative nurses

came to the house and helped take care of her. These people were fantastic to work with. We cannot thank them enough for the care and support they gave Betty and her caregivers. We appreciated Care Initiatives, fine folks who help at a difficult time.

Celebrate Constitution Week From Marjorie Kinkade Creston

The 227TH anniversary of the signing of the Constitution will be the week of Sept. 17-27. This great document, the cornerstone of our freedoms, was written to protect every American from the abuse of power by government. It is the oldest constitution still in active use in the world today, and it is the basic document of our republic. It protects the individual liberties of all citizens through written law.

American colonists fought, sacrificed and died to establish and preserve the freedoms now guaranteed to us by the Constitution.

“We the people of the United

States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America” These words, written 227 years ago, are the Preamble to our Constitution. This Constitution Week, Sept. 17-23, is celebrating the signing of this important document.

Read beyond the Preamble to understand the structure of the three branches of the government of our representative government. Study the amendments and the Bill of Rights. Know your Constitution!

We like to hear from you!

President Obama was denied playing privileges HOLLYWOOD — Happy Tuesday, everybody, and God Bless America.

Bill Clinton and George W. Bush spoke onstage together at the Newseum in Washington Tuesday to launch a scholarship program. They have a great act.

George W. Bush talks about the importance of faith and family for thirty minutes and then Bill Clinton delivers the rebutttal.

South Africa’s Olympic star Oscar Pistorious was found guilty of culpable homicide in the shooting death of his girlfriend model Reeva Steenkamp Friday.

He admitted he accidentally shot her four times through the bathroom door. The judge sentenced him to five years in the NFL. CBS opened Thursday’s NFL game with a lecture to men about spousal abuse. It’s over the top. San Diego Chargers linebacker Mante Teo was videotaped shadow-boxing while he jogged on the beach Friday and the NFL suspended him six games for slugging his imaginary girlfriend.

Roger Goodell told CBS he never saw the video of Ray Rice hitting his fiancee but the cops said they sent the video to the NFL commissioner’s office last April. There’s an innocent explanation. The video got buried in a stack of other videos of NFL players doing illegal things.

NFL star Adrian Peterson was indicted for reckless and negligent injury to a child Friday. The

NFL’s had child abuse, spousal battery and a sexual assault suit in one week. The longer O.J. Simpson sits in prison, the less he looks like a criminal and the more he looks like a trailblazer.

The White House said President Obama won’t be campaigning for Democratic U.S. Senate candidates in the South because it might hurt their chances to win.

It’s the polls. President Obama’s latest approval numbers are so low that his new Secret Service code name is Congress.

President Obama went on prime time television on Wednesday to announce the United States will lead an international coalition of nations to fight the terror groups in Iraq. The ratings were low. Most people switched off after a minute thinking they were watching a rerun.

President Obama was denied playing privileges at Winged Foot Golf Club in Westchester on Labor Day because the club didn’t want to inconvenience the members. So some good came out of it. The EPA just named Westchester as the site of America’s new Strategic Gopher Reserve.

U.S. News and World Report revealed that a federal judge has

halted Detroit’s bankrupcty proceeding because a settlement’s near. That’s good news. Detroit is so broke that to raise money for municipal services the mayor is sending out e-mails claiming to be a Nigerian prince.

Senate Democrats vowed to take action to further ease the burden of college loans on U.S. college grads. The college loan program is helping to inspire a new generation of Americans.

Forty percent of college kids in a new poll said when they graduate they want to be loan sharks.

Princeton University released a survey Friday that demonstrates that falling in love and having sex makes you smarter.

It’s really cyclical. Falling out of love and having no sex makes you stupid but the royalties you’ll earn from the country song you write about it make you rich.

Sarah Palin’s family was involved in a drunken brawl Tuesday at a snowmobile party in Alaska. The public loves their lowbrow antics. Sarah had just returned from campaigning for candidates in the Deep South, where she picked up the endorsement of Unplanned Parenthood.

The Mars Curiosity Rover finally made it to Mt. Sharp Friday two years after a spacecraft landed the rover on the Red Planet. That’s the destination point. It took the Mars Curiosity Rover two years to travel five miles, making it by far the fastest government project in existence.

ENTERTAINMENT Hold on to the history of your health Dear Heloise: With all the changes that are being made in health-insurance laws, you never know when you will be required to complete an application for new coverage.

Most insurance companies require years of HEALTH HISTORY. My hint: Never trash or shred explanation of benefits from your insurance company.

These are a timeline for when you’ve had every doctor visit, lab test, ER visit, surgery, etc., and you’ll easily be able to list them on the application. — Ellen in Arkansas A very good idea, and one that is worth doing! It can be bothersome to try to recall all major illnesses, etc. If you receive a quarterly or year-end statement, keep these for several years, just in case. If someone has a serious or ongoing illness, keep the paperwork, even if you need a file box! — Heloise AIR-BAG POWDER Dear Heloise: I am curious: When an air bag deploys, what is the powder that gets everywhere? — Nancy in Wyoming Great question! We’ve all seen the movies and wondered. Generally it’s just cornstarch or talcum powder so the air bag won’t stick together.

HOMEMADE ICE PACK Dear Heloise: There are times when I don’t have enough ice packs for a cooler or one of the kid’s lunches, so I started making my own.

I use my vacuum sealer and cut vacuum bags to the size I need. Depending on how large or small I want to make an ice pack, I put ice cubes in the bag, vacuum-seal it and then let the ice cubes melt. Once melted, I place the flattened bags in the freezer and let them refreeze.

Now it’s ready to use, just like a store-bought ice pack. — Denise T. in Kentucky ZIPPER PULLS Dear Heloise: I have another suggestion after reading your column about substitute zipper pulls. You also could use a paper clip, which you can BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker purchase in different sizes and colors. — Barbara H., Lady Lake, Fla. Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise@Heloise. com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

Some newer bags are manufactured so they don’t need the powder. — Heloise ENSURE RETURN Dear Heloise: For over a week, I was missing my black, small portfolio with important books and documents. After doing a lot of searching in my car and my home, I gave up on it. Today, when I opened the front door, I was surprised to see my missing portfolio on a chair by the door.

With it was a business card from the manager of a restaurant, who must have so kindly dropped it off. I left it while dining, and the manager saw my name and mailing address taped on the portfolio.

It’s a good idea to stick a mailing label on cellphones, books, purses, etc., but also to write a phone number in case you leave or lose an item. If you are lucky, a good, honest and thoughtful person like the manager of the restaurant I ate in will contact you. — Eloisa in (c)2014 by King Features San Juan Capistrano, Calif.

Horoscope Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Something very likely will interrupt your home scene today. Small appliances might break down, or minor breakages could occur. Someone unexpected might knock on your door.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a mildly accident-prone day, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Keep your eyes peeled. An accident most likely would occur due to distraction or lack of attention.

(This can be prevented.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep an eye on your money today. You might find money; you might lose money. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. Stay on the ball to avoid regrets.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You feel restless today, which is why you might impulsively do something different. You’re eager for adventure and thrills!

(Good luck.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today is a restless day. You can feel it in your bones. Don’t worry about this, because this is a fleeting influence that will be gone by tomorrow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A friend might surprise you today. Or perhaps, instead, you will meet someone (probably a female) who is a real character.

Either way, it’s not a boring day!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Relations with authority figures are a bit touchy today.

Someone might say something that sets you off. Don’t take it personally, and don’t quit your day job.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel plans will be interrupted, delayed or changed today. Schedules for colleges and universities likely will be subject to change as well. Be aware of this.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Keep an eye on your bank account and issues regarding taxes, debt and shared property, because something unexpected could occur here today. Know what is happening, because information is power.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Relations with a partner or close friend might go sideways in a New York minute today. Therefore, tread careful-

ly, because discussions, with females in particular, are subject to disruptions and emotional reactions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Computer crashes, power outages, canceled meetings and staff shortages are just some reasons your work day will be interrupted today. Be prepared for this.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Parents should be extra vigilant today, because this is a mildly accident-prone day for your children. Know what’s

happening at all times. Better safe than sorry.

YOU BORN TODAY You are persistent and tenacious, which is why you can often succeed after years of trying.

(Never give up.) You are tough, logical and will fight for justice.

People know you are reliable.

This year will show promise for future growth and financial accumulation in the next three years. Plan all expansions wisely and reduce your debt, but do not liquidate your assets.

Champions crowned at Adams County Speedway

By BURTON HEATON Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING — Five track champions were crowned on a cool September evening that brought the 2014 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series to a close at the Adams County Speedway. The 17th annual NAPA Tradition on Saturday will bring the season to a close.

Late models In the evening’s final feature race, it was Chris Spieker and Jason O’Brien facing off for a winner-takes-all battle, as they started side by side in row five, tied for the Coors Light late model point lead. By lap six, Spieker had moved to the lead with O’Brien close behind in second.

For 10 laps O’Brien tried to get around to the lead, but when contact was made coming out of turn two causing Spieker to spin and bring out the caution flag, it was both drivers being sent to the back. Only three laps later the two had moved back to the front with Spieker hanging on for win number seven and another track championship.

Sterling Perkins, John Hampel and Daulton Maassen rounded out the top five.

O’Brien came back just a few minutes later to win the late model King of the Hill by besting both Perkins and Maassen in the brackets.

This week Dennis would settle for a fourth place finish as Jeff Wiggins and Keven Parman battled for the win. The race came down to a green – white – checker shootout, which extended the 18 lap feature one extra lap. While Parman had lead the bulk of the race from his outside front row start, Wiggins had come off a dismal heat race performance and had to work his way from 14th to get the win.

Jeff James took home second place in the point battle behind Dennis, with Brian Foote third and Wiggins moving into fourth with the bonus points for the win propelling him ahead of Todd Van Eaton.

SPORTS The Numbers Game

The Eagles are the first team in NFL history to start 2-0 after trailing by 14+ points 2nd half of each game.

National Digest

Big 12 honors AMES — Iowa State took home two of the three Big 12 Player of the Week honors on Monday, following the win over Iowa on Saturday.

Kicker Cole Netten is the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week. Netten made both of his field goal attempts, including the game-winning 42-yard attempt with two seconds left. He also made a career-long 47-yard field goal in the first half.

Cyclones defensive end Cory Morrissey is the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week. Morrissey had a career-high seven tackles, three tackles for loss and two sacks. He has a teamhigh 3.5 sacks this season.

Eagles rally INDIANAPOLIS — With Nick Foles at quarterback and LeSean McCoy and Darren Sproles in the backfield, the Philadelphia Eagles are never out of the game.

They proved it again on Monday night.

Foles threw a tying touchdown pass with 3:25 to go, and then set up Cody Parkey for the winning 36-yard field goal as time expired, lifting Philadelphia to a 30-27 win at the Indianapolis Colts.

Sproles had seven receptions for 152 yards to go along with a touchdown run as the Eagles (2-0) won their first game on the road for the sixth consecutive season.

Philadelphia, which stormed back from a 17-0 halftime deficit to beat Jacksonville 34-17 in Week 1, also became the fourth team in the last 30 years to win consecutive games in which it trailed by 14 or more points in the 2nd half, according to STATS.

More allegations HOUSTON — Adrian Peterson, already facing felony charges in Texas for child abuse, was accused in a separate incident involving another son who was 4 years old, KHOU-TV in Houston has reported.

They’re allegations the Minnesota Vikings running back’s lawyer says were unfounded and more than a year old.

The CBS affiliate KHOU cited text messages that reportedly include a photo of the son with an apparent head wound covered by bandages.

Peterson was indicted by a grand jury on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child on Friday. The prosecution was aware of the June 2013 incident, a source familiar with the case told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Peterson, who apologized in a statement Monday for “the hurt I have brought to my child,” also said he will testify in court that he did not intend to harm his son and said he is “without a doubt, not a child abuser.”

The Houston TV station reported the mother of the 4-year-old — from a different mother than the child he stands charged with abusing — filed a report with Child Protective Services but no charges were brought.

Panthers compete well at ‘mini-state meet’

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

HUXLEY — A grand total of 12 ranked teams competed here Monday evening at the Ballard Invitational, a meet that has been called a “mini-state meet.”

In the Class A/B combined varsity races, there were 10 ranked boys runners from Class 3A and 11 ranked girls runners from Class 3A. That gave the Creston cross country teams some solid competition to face.

The Panther girls finished fourth out of 10 teams in Class B, while the boys placed fifth out of 10 teams in Class B. “The purpose of being up there was the competition,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “It was a mini-state meet.”

The Panthers didn’t back away from the tough competition.

On the boys side, front-

runners Cooper McDermott and Jay Wolfe finished fifth and seventh, respectively.

B o t h r u n n e r s Wolfe finished ahead of the top runner in Class A. McDermott crossed the line in 16:55, with Wolfe following in 17:07.

Gilbert’s Thomas Pollard, who owns the fastest 3,200 meter time on the track in Iowa history, won the race in 15:43. Luke Kohut-Jackson of Ballard finished third in 16:33.

“We saw Kohut-Jackson last week at Greene County and we wanted another shot at him,” Schlapia said.

“We wanted a shot at all of them. Those boys did a fantastic job. It’s nice to see those boys go after the top ones in the state.”

Senior Brant Hudson finished 38th in 19:48, fol-

Kyle Jennett ran 20:50 for 51st place and Dylan Linch finished 57th in 21:46.

Sophomore Ben Irr was once again held out with injury.

“With Gilbert and Ballard, the quality of teams we had, the boys finished fifth, nipping Nevada by one point,” Schlapia said.

“Even not at full strength, that was awesome to see the boys compete. That’s just going to be an ongoing process for us through the season of wanting to close the gaps.”

Girls On the girls side, Maria Mostek notched another top 10 performance, finishing sixth in the Class B competition.

Creston sophomore Rachel Shepherd leads a pack of runners as they crest a hill about 1.5 miles into the 4K varsity girls Class A/B race at the Ballard Invitational on Monday.

Shepherd finished 44th in 18:53 for the Panthers.

HUXLEY — Nodaway Valley head cross country coach Darrell Burmeister said his young boys team felt slighted when the most recent set of state rankings came out last week.

The Wolverines were ranked 11th in Class 1A by the Iowa Track Coaches Association, despite having posted the best one through five average time in Class 1A. Monday evening, the Wolverines showed up at the Ballard Invitational looking to prove something.

And that’s exactly what they did, as they placed all five scoring runners in the top seven of the Class D competition. In the combined Class C/D race, Nod-

away Valley’s five scoring runners were in the top 10.

Nodaway Valley scored 23 team points, finishing 41 points ahead of secondplace Ogden.

The Wolverine boys would have won the Class C team competition, finished runner-up to Gilbert in Class B and would have finished third in Class A to Pella and Dallas CenterGrimes.

Sophomore Shane Breheny led the way for Nodaway Valley, finishing second in Class D, running 17:35 over the 5K course.

Sophomore Brayten Funke took third in 17:50.

Defensively, Cameron Leith had eight tackles and Cody Crawford added

seven, including a quarterback sack. “for the most part we played a pretty good game tonight,” Creston/O-M coach Kevin Cooper said.

“We were tied at halftime, and they just got away from us for a couple possession in the third and fourth quarters and that was the difference in the game. They had a very nice running back and we struggled with our containment. Hopefully we can fix a few things and get better next week.”

Creston 9-JV volleyball Junior varsity CLARINDA — Creston placed second at the Clarinda JV Volleyball Tournament Saturday.

Creston beat CAM, Clarinda and Bedford in two straight sets to set up a championship match against Clarinda. After Creston won the opening set, 21-15, Clarinda took consecutive wins of 21-11 and 16-14 for the victory.

“Our girls didn’t lose all day until the championship match and then lost to a team we have already beat twice this year,” said Creston JV coach Jessie McClellan. “There were a lot of plays in the championship match where I know we had the physical capabilities, but we weren’t making good

choices and it cost us the game. We have a lot of talent. These girls scrimmage with the starting varsity girls every day in practice, so I know they can do it.

They just have to have the mindset that we are going to win at all times.”

She’s going to get that.”

Madison Hance in 25th and Jessica Beatty in 30th were able to cut the gap on Mostek a little, but Schlapia said they’ll still need to continue closing the gap. Lexie Little finished 36th in 18:13.

They did what was asked of them and had fun out there,” said Creston/O-M coach Anthony Donahoo. “The kids that played in the first game controlled the game for the most part, but they had a trick play with 40 seconds left and won the game on a pitch pass.

We’ll continue to learn both offensively and defensively and get better.”

7th grade CHARITON — In two low-scoring games Thursday, Chariton topped Creston/OM 8-0 in the A game and the Panthers came back to win the B game 6-0 in seventh-grade football action Thursday.

“We had too much trouble blocking tonight to do anything consistent on offense,” Creston/O-M coach Dick Clark said. “The game was pretty much a stalemate until the last minute, when inopportune penalties and turnovers allowed them to score.”

Rylan Luther had eight tackles for Creston/O-M and Eli Loudon had six. Loudon also rushed for 23 yards.

Camden Peterson scored a 1-yard touchdown for the only scoring in the B game.

This was another closelymatched game,” Clark said.

“Our defense helped us to good field position and Camden Peterson was able to punch it in from the 1 for our only score.”

Miss America: More to worry about than red cup ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — The new Miss America says there are more important things for people to worry about than her little red cup.

That was the message Monday from Kira Kazantsev, of New York, as some social media users panned her use of a plastic cup during the talent portion of Sunday night’s pageant finale in Atlantic City.

Kazantsev told The Associated Press she realizes everything she does now will be scrutinized and commented on. But she says she performed Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” while tapping a cup on the floor because that’s what she wanted to do, regardless of what anyone else might think.

“There are so many more important issues in this world that people should be worried about than my

plastic cup,” she said Monday morning after taking the traditional dip in the Atlantic City surf the morning after winning the crown.

“However, as Miss America, everything I do is scrutinized and I understand that.

That’s part of the job.

“I hope people understand that’s just part of who I am, and I wanted to present myself that way I wanted to,” she said.

Her pageant causes include eliminating sexual assaults in the military, and preventing domestic violence. The Hofstra University graduate plans to attend law school with the $50,000 scholarship she won in the pageant.

Kazantsev said her talent portion was inspired by the 2012 movie “Pitch Perfect,” in which Anna Kendrick’s character auditions for an a cappella group by performing rhythmically with a cup.

Deaths in storm drains raise safety issue ServSafe class to CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — When a 17-year-old student named Logan Blake was sucked into an Iowa storm drain and died during flash flooding this summer, the news brought up painful memories 1,000 miles away.

Texas lawyer Loren Jones had a teenager brother — also named Logan — who died in a similar way in Houston in 2004. Both young men were swept away while playing near elementary schools after heavy rains. Friends unsuccessfully tried to save them.

Such accidents, though rare, are continuing to focus attention on the large flood control pipes and culverts used in cities all over the country that are designed with drainage, not safety, in mind.

“I was like, ‘Oh my God’,” Loren Jones recalled after hearing of the recent death.

“The fact that it happened again across the country. It’s absolutely heartbreaking.”

People are sucked into flood pipes a few times a year, typically after a heavy rainfall, and washed for sometimes long distances toward creeks and lakes where the pipes empty, experts say.

In Iowa, Blake died after being swept into a culvert while playing with a Frisbee with friends after a storm.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the federal agency

Grate debate

Supporters of grates say the risk of clogging can be managed with routine checking. And if clogging remains a concern, leaving the culvert open but adding a fence to keep people out is another option. The debate continues among engineering and stormwater management groups, with many increasingly warning of the dangers of openings in urban areas. that conducts research on work-related hazards, warned cities 12 years ago that installing grates could prevent such accidents, after a Denver firefighter was swept into a culvert and died while trying to rescue a woman stranded in flood water. But many have not done so.

“It’s sad to know that people, especially children, are still dying needlessly when there is such a simple fix,” said former Houston City Council member Addie Wiseman, who worked with the city to install grates on storm drains near schools after the 2004 death of 13-year-old Logan Jones. “It’s as simple as two bars across a culvert.”

Some cities fear that grates can clog with debris during heavy rains when they are needed the most. That problem contributed to devastating flooding last September along Gregory Canyon Creek in Boulder, Colo., where rocks clogged grates at two locations and sent waters surging into a historic neighborhood. There is also the cost of equipment and main-

tenance.

Supporters of grates say the risk of clogging can be managed with routine checking. And if clogging remains a concern, leaving the culvert open but adding a fence to keep people out is another option.

The debate continues among engineering and stormwater management groups, with many increasingly warning of the dangers of openings in urban areas.

“On a national basis, there is story after story of people who are harmed or killed in storm drains with culverts,” said Ken MacKenzie, an official with the urban drainage district in Denver who chairs a trade association panel on the issue. “It’s a national problem.”

His and other national groups drafted a document in 2012 calling on municipal officials to consider installing debris barriers. MacKenzie said a large city might have a dozen large culverts

Starting in January, all food service operations will be required to have a certified staff person.

where safety grates could be installed, at an average cost of $20,000 each.

The culvert behind Arthur Elementary School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, had neither a fence nor a grate covering the 4½ feet wide opening when Blake went to throw a Frisbee with two friends after a storm had passed.

Blake was swept into the sewer pipe, and then his friend David Bliss was sucked in when he tried to rescue him.

More than 800 people have signed an online petition calling on Cedar Rapids to install grates. City officials have said they are reviewing the issue.
