SWCC names new chief financial officer

Library board asks council: what now?

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

What now?

That was essentially the question needing answered when the library board and Creston City Council met in joint session earlier this week at Gibson Memorial Library.

“Now that Lincoln School is off the agenda, we need some direction from city council,” said Ann Coulter, library board president. “We need to know what your goal is for this library and where do you see the future.”

Coulter Coulter reiterated to the council Monday that space at Gibson Memorial remains inadequate for modern times, specifically citing lack of space for book storage and meeting areas. Coulter said — of the 41 Iowa communities similar in population to Creston — Woods there are only four libraries smaller than “ours.”

45 years in business

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

A celebration is on the horizon at Casey’s General Store, 200 S. Elm St., where the business will hold its 45th anniversary Oct. 1.

The celebration will include several different specials, such as prizes and a raffle.

“We’re planning on having specials on our fountain pop,” Casey’s Manager Linda Cochran said. “There will be free coffee on that day, also.”

There will be a chamber coffee from 10 to 11 a.m. Oct 1. At 11, there will be a chance to spin a wheel for prizes. The spins end at 1 p.m. Hot dogs will be available at noon. Prizes include a portable gas grill, wheeled cooler and Iowa college mugs.

A raffle drawing will be held at 1 p.m., and prizes include portable gas grill and $10 gift card. All proceeds will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Tickets are $1 for one ticket, $5 for six tickets or $10 for 13 tickets.

Expansion “This Casey’s here was opened Oct. 1, 1969,” Cochran said. “It was the second store that Casey’s

Company opened.”

Don Lamberti, the founder of Casey’s General Store, was formerly of the Mount Ayr area, Cochran said, and his wife was formerly of the Orient area.

“Creston would have been a happy medium,” Cochran said.

Casey’s in Creston was formerly a service station with fuel for vehicles. Lamberti added the convenience store aspect to the place and it became a general store.

In 45 years, the chain exploded.

There are more than 1,800 stores in existence. Iowa has the most stores at 477.

Southwestern Community College’s difficult search to replace their chief financial officer (CFO) is finally over.

Randy Cook will join the college’s management team as CFO starting Sept. 29, replacing Teresa Krejci.

She recently accepted a position with Drake University in Des Moines as the Associate Vice President of Cook Finance. Krejci served as SWCC’s CFO since 1997.

“We were fortunate to be able to hire someone with Randy’s experience and qualifications,” Southwestern’s President Dr. Barb Please see SWCC, Page 2

CNA full coverage week starts Monday

The first manager was Vance Monday, and his wife also worked at the store. They employed Cleo Kuhns, who was in high school at the time, who eventually worked his way up to vice president of store operations at Casey’s.

Creston News Advertiser will host its full coverage week starting Monday.

Meaning, every household inside the city of Creston — subscribers and non-subscribers — will have the Creston News Advertiser delivered to their door next week.

Each day more than 7,000 newspapers will be printed at Creston Publishing Company and distributed by CNA carriers.

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

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

Both Elm and New York Avenue crossings will continue to be closed, periodically, through the end of this month.

Until construction is complete, city officials recommend drivers from Highway 34 use Sumner Avenue to access the uptown area via Adams Street.

And I travel my last weary mile, Just forget, if you can, that I ever frowned, And remember only the smile.

Forget unkind words I have spoken.

Remember some good I have done.

Forget that I ever had heartache, And remember I’ve had loads of fun.

Forget that I’ve stumbled and blundered.

And sometimes fell by the way.

Remember I have fought some hard battles, And won, ere the close of the day.

Then forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you sad for a day.

But in summer just gather some flowers, And remember the place where I lay.

And come in the shade of the evening, When sun paints the sky in the west.

Stand for a few moments beside me, And remember only my best.

People in Arispe, Tingley, Shannon City, Ellston and Beaconsfield will continue to see reliable electrical service because of major upgrades in the area.

This summer, Alliant Energy started building a new substation that will serve customers in and around these communities. Crews will finish installation of the new substation, 82 power poles and 3.5 miles of power lines this fall.

A substation takes electricity from the high-voltage transmission lines and distributes it through the community. The new unit will support future

“We are replacing the old equipment before it causes problems, this way we can continue to provide reliable power for all our customers,” said Matt Higgins, manager of customer operations. “This has been a big project for us, and represents an investment of more than $2.1 million.”

Alliant Energy’s 2014 Power Iowa Plan includes approximately $130 million of planned investments. This includes upgrading overhead and underground electric lines, electric substations and natural gas infrastructure.

Analyze before you buy Dear Readers: If you are thinking about BUYING A HOME OR CONDO sometime soon, here are some hints to think about now: • Check your credit reports now, not later. You might be able to fix anything that is wrong. Trust me, this can take some time, and bad information can affect your ability to get a loan.

• Really sit down and figure out what you can afford.

Don’t forget taxes, insurance and regular upkeep.

• A good real estate agent can help, especially if you are new to the area or are a first-time buyer. Ask friends, co-workers and neighbors for recommendations. Real estate agents have a lot of experience, and a good one can help you be aware of red flags that you may not know about.

• When looking at houses, remember to look at the neighborhood and surrounding area as a whole. Are schools important? Medical facilities? Shopping? Near an airport or not?

Home buying can be a wonderful and exciting experience if you are prepared! Good luck! — Heloise P.S.: Don’t make a snap decision, because the house isn’t going to sell the next day! This

We always rent a house that we all share. The first year we did this, we all ended up bringing too much food.

Now we started dividing the meals. One of us will bring everything we need for breakfasts. Another, everything needed for lunch, and the other brings food used for dinner.

Then we all bring whatever snacks and drinks we want.

We rotate the “meals” yearly so it evens out financially.

Horoscope Saturday, Sept. 20, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Children might be an increased responsibility today. You also might discover that social outings cost more than you’d anticipated. Something will put a damper on things.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A female relative, probably older, might restrict your movement today. Or perhaps you have to kowtow to family duties and obligations. Just grin and bear it.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s easy to fall into worry mode today. As I have said many times before: Worry is like a rocking chair — it gives you something to do, but gets you nowhere. Lighten up!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Financial matters might be a bit difficult today. Either you or someone else might be tightfisted. Don’t push for or expect what isn’t there.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might feel moments of depression today or that you are lonely and out of touch.

“Nobody loves me.” Don’t worry, because this is gone quickly. It is what it is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You likely will feel cut off from others today and in a bit of a funk. Don’t worry, because many people feel the same way. It’s a temporary dark cloud on your horizon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Someone older might be critical of you today. No matter what you propose, your ideas are shot down. Tomorrow and Monday are better days.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to ask for permission or approval from an authority figure. The answer will be, “Talk to the hand.” You won’t get the cooperation you want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Study, travel and legal matters are difficult today. It seems that no matter what you do, somebody wants to rain on your parade. (It’s just for today.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You will be disappointed in your share of something today. You expected more.

Don’t make an issue about this; instead wait until tomorrow or next week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Relations with partners

and close friends are stiff and distant today. Nevertheless, there’s nothing you can do about it, so just go with the flow.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Work will be arduous and a bit of a slog today. Oh well, we all get days like this. By tomorrow, things will look better.

Trust me.

YOU BORN TODAY You know how to bounce back from adversity. You also know how to heal things, including yourself. You support

whatever group to which you belong, including your family.

Sometimes, romance grabs you and mesmerizes you! This year, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for something new to enter your world.

HEALTH

Tips to get the recommended amount of fruit in your daily diet (BPT) — No one questions that fruit is an essential part of the diet. But did you know that more than 70 percent of Americans do not eat the recommended amount of fruit? One hundred percent juice is a convenient way to help you get the important fruit nutrients you need.

Juice doesn’t just taste good, it also fulfills an essential part of the daily diet.

Nutritionist and registered dietitian, Diane Welland of the Juice Products Association provides information on what’s so good about juice.

How does juice fit into a healthy diet?

Because the majority of Americans aren’t eating the recommended daily amount of whole fruit, they’re missing out on many important nutrients. Fruit juice is an easy way to make sure you’re getting key nutrients like potassium, vitamin C, folate, magnesium, riboflavin and niacin. Some 100 percent juices are also fortified with vitamin D and calcium.

How much fruit juice should a person drink each

day?

Recommended serving sizes vary with a person’s age. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends 4 to 6 ounces of 100 percent fruit juice for children ages 1 to 6 and 8 to 12 ounces for those ages 7 to 18. As an alternative to whole fruit, the USDA’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans consider one-half cup of 100 percent fruit juice to be equal to one half cup of whole fruit.

Does fruit juice contain sugar?

There is no added sugar in 100 percent fruit juice it contains only the natural sugars found in whole fruit.

Does drinking juice contribute to weight gain?

Fruit juice is definitely part of a healthy eating plan.

New scientific studies show that juice drinkers have better quality diets than those who do not drink juice.

Other studies indicate that children and adolescents can drink juice in appropriate amounts without gaining weight.

“I recommend that parents follow the guidelines of the American Academy of

Pediatrics, when it comes to serving sizes,” Welland says.

Welland suggests adding fruit and fruit juice into your diet in subtle ways like incorporating juice into traditional recipes. Fruit juice can add new flavors to any recipe from snacks like ice pops to savory dinners. This Orange Cranberry Oatmeal Recipe showcases how easy it can be to incorporate juice into family favorites.

Orange Cranberry Oatmeal Makes 4 servings Ingredients: 2 cups orange juice 1 cup water 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 cups oatmeal (quick or old-fashioned, uncooked) 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts 1 cup low-fat or fat-free vanilla yogurt (optional) Additional dried cranberries (optional) Directions: In medium saucepan, bring orange juice, water, salt and cinnamon to a gentle boil. Stir in oats and cran-

berries. Return to a boil; reduce heat to medium. Cook 1 minute for quick oats, 5 minutes for old fashioned oats or until most of liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Let stand until desired consistency. Spoon oatmeal into four cereal bowls. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon walnuts and, if de-

sired, 1/4 cup yogurt and additional cranberries.

Need it in a pinch? Microwave directions: In 3-quart microwaveable bowl, combine all ingredients except yogurt and nuts.

Microwave on high 4 to 6 minutes for quick oats and 7 to 9 minutes for old fashioned oats or until most of

liquid is absorbed. Let stand until desired consistency.

super salads for the lunch program arrived on his plate missing most of their essential ingredients!

So if you think (like Zachary and now his parents) that a packed lunch from home is a better choice, make sure the lunchbox you put the food in isn’t a health hazard. It should be leadfree (vinyl is often made using that toxic metal). Check for a lead-free tag or the letters EVA on the lunchbox.

Also, don’t let harmful bacteria thrive in the box: Wash it daily, inside and out. Pack food using frozen ice packs to keep food at a safe temperature. Wash fruit and veggies, even if they will be peeled before eating. Don’t reuse food-wrapping materials from day to day. Teach your child to place food on a paper plate, napkin or cloth — not directly on lunchroom tables.

Now you’re helping your child learn more, feel better and stay focused all day!

That’s the power of the lunchbox done right!

THE POWER OF MUSIC Music may soothe the savage beast, but it can up your game and competitiveness, too. Seems you can amplify your sense of power, improve your abstract thinking (what is the meaning of life?) and cut your reaction time if you do what snowboarder Shaun White and dozens of other athletes do.

Crank up that old time rock ‘n’ roll — or whatever hard-driving rhythm inspires you — and let it fly!

During White’s first official try at a “Double McTwist 1260,” he was listening to

Guns N’ Roses’ “Paradise City” on his earbuds. Since 2008 the Seattle Seahawks have employed an on-field DJ who spins tunes at top volume during practices. So, for would-be athletes, nervous job applicants (note: remove earbuds before the interview!) and the slightly weary, cranking up tunes can be transformative!

Music’s sound waves can actually alter your nervous system as your brain waves begin to resemble the sound waves you’re hearing. But choose your tunes carefully.

Figure out what works best to produce the emotions and motivation you want in various situations. It also can work to your benefit if the tunes are on the calmer side: We know that music can help reduce anxiety in cancer patients, ease patient stress during surgery (according to researchers from Dr. Mike’s Cleveland Clinic) and promote healing.

Just one caution: Biking or rollerblading with earbuds can prevent you from being aware of what’s around you. That can land you in the emergency room, where all you’ll hear is the tweet-tweet of cartoon canaries. *** 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.

Yoga au-go-go Julia Roberts, Madonna, Colin Farrell and Dr. Oz all do poses — yoga poses, that is — along with 20 million other North Americans.

The popularity of this practice, which originated in India, is thanks in large part to the guru B.K.S. Iyengar (he died at 95 in August 2014).

In 1952, the American-born violinist Yehudi Menuhin was visiting India when he was challenged to a headstand by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru (remember the Nehru jacket?). Iyengar was there, and took the duo through poses. The publicity launched a wave of interest in the discipline that’s never ebbed.

The benefits of yoga are far-reaching (some aggressive or superheated styles, well, they aren’t the best options for everyone). Hatha yoga combines breathing techniques with poses that reduce stress, promote blood flow, flexibility and mental focus. It has been shown to ease everything from chronic lower-back pain and chronic inflammation to depression and elevated blood pressure. Now a new study shows that for folks 59 to 77, it also can boost brainpower: Mental flexibility, information recall and task-switching abilities were far better in Hatha yoga participants than in a group who only did stretching and toning exercises.

What’s the difference?

We suspect Hatha is brainfriendly because of its emphasis on stress-busting deep breathing (that provides more oxygen to those brain cells and protection of memory connections!) and

VITAMIN D PLUSSES There are two sides to every argument, so the saying goes, and usually the truth lies somewhere in between.

Fortunately, you don’t have to takes sides in the debate about whether D-2 and D-3 are vitamins or hormones.

Either way, they deliver nothing but good health to folks who get enough every day.

You see, D-2 and D-3 (they have similar actions in your body) function as vitamins by helping your body achieve normal growth and development. As hormones, they work to regulate calcium absorption, immunesystem functioning and bone health. But it doesn’t stop there.

New findings indicate that guys with erectile dysfunction have significantly low vitamin D levels, and the more severe their dysfunction the greater the deficiency. Scientists also have found that women with the highest levels of D (above 30ng/mL) have a pregnancy rate of 30 percent from in vitro fertilization; women who are deficient (below 20ng/ mL) only have a 21 percent success rate.

Achieving a healthy level of vitamin D-2/3 is cheaper

and better for you than taking ED meds or going through multiple in-vitro routines. So, get a blood test to check your levels. Take a 1,000 IU D-3 supplement daily until you get results — then take what your doc recommends (it’s hard to get enough from what you eat).

Plus, get outside (with SPF 30 sunscreen) for 30 minutes a day and eat vitaminD-rich foods such as salmon, D-3-fortified whole-grain cereals and nonfat dairy or nut milks and white mushrooms. D-licious.

THE DANGERS OF THE POWDERED MARGARITA Weird ways to consume alcohol have been popping up on social media and YouTube — and are enough to make any college counselor or parent’s heart skip a beat.

There’s booze-soaked gummy candy called Rummy Bears and Wodka Worms; hand-sanitizer cocktails that run around 120 proof; and there’s even a vodkadrenched tampon — it’s called “slimming.”

Those risky and juvenile ways to get buzzed are pretty fringy, but now there’s something more sinister with the potential to become mainstream: powdered alcohol. It’s been approved by the Federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Trade Bureau, a division of the ATF. One small packet of trouble is 65 percent alcohol by volume and comes in

five sugary flavors including rum, vodka and kamikaze (the manufacturer’s version of a margarita).

Concerned legislators, parents and doctors are yelling for the Food and Drug Administration to step in and ban its sale before kids start turning up in the emergency room or worse because of it.

Our suggestion: Parents, get in front of powdered alcohol. Talk to your kids about how foolish it would be to drink it, eat it or sniff it. Now, before there’s an advertising onslaught (you know it’s coming), you have the opportunity to turn kids off to the product. Your kids do listen when you talk to them about avoiding dangerous situations, such as drinking or using marijuana and driving. Underage drunk-driving fatalities have been declining over the past 10 years. So have a conversation about powdered alcohol, and let’s stay on that road.

LUNCHBOX SAFETY When New York City fourth-grader Zachary Maxwell told his folks that he wanted to take his lunch to school, they insisted he stick with the school’s oh-so-tasty and nutritious-sounding hotlunch program. So he made “Yuck” (www.yuckmovie. com), a 20-minute documentary revealing what was really being dished up: not the designer meals his parents saw on the menu, but a woeful combo of cheesy, fatty, mostly veggie-free meals on polystyrene “plates” (a ban on those goes into effect in NYC in 2015).

Returns for touchdowns

by Devin Hester, breaking Deion Sanders’ NFL career record.

SPORTS

Newly-ranked Panthers sweep Monarchs

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Hester

National Digest Blowout ATLANTA — Devin Hester high-stepped into the NFL record book. Matt Ryan had as many touchdown passes as incompletions. Julio Jones made a spectacular over-the-shoulder catch tumbling into the end zone.

The result: one of the biggest wins in Atlanta Falcons history.

Hester set an NFL record with his 20th return for a touchdown, Ryan threw for 286 yards and three TDs, and Jones hauled in nine passes for 161 yards and a couple of scores to lead the Falcons past the hapless Tampa Bay Buccaneers 56-14 on Thursday night.

“It was a fun night,” Ryan said.

The Falcons (2-1) led 35-0 before the Buccaneers (0-3) picked up a first down. Ryan and the other offensive starters left after Steven Jackson’s 3-yard touchdown run made it 49-0 before the midway point of the third quarter.

Atlanta had a stunning 56-0 lead heading to the fourth quarter. Tampa Bay scored two meaningless touchdowns to avoid the worst loss in franchise history.

On a day when the team earned a state ranking for the first time in at least two decades, and middle blocker Natalie Mostek was featured in the Omaha WorldHerald’s sports section, it took awhile for the Creston volleyball team to get comfortable in its new-found attention.

After trailing by three and four points throughout much of the first set, the Panthers rallied to complete a sweep — 25-22, 25-15, 2517 over visiting DenisonSchleswig Thursday night.

The win keeps Creston undefeated at 11-0 overall, and atop the Hawkeye 10 Conference at 4-0. The stiffest part of the league schedule remains however, with matches still left against No. 1-ranked Harlan, Class 3A fourth-ranked Red Oak and a Lewis Central team that fell below Creston at No. 14 in this week’s 4A rankings.

Denison-Schleswig falls to 5-4 overall and 1-2 in the league.

Earlier in the day, coach Polly Luther’s team cracked the state ratings for the first time in many years at No. 11 in Class 4A. And, the World-Herald’s feature on Mostek as one of the conference’s top middle blockers and overall athletes was published Thursday.

Slow start Mostek said the team is excited about the recognition, but also still learning to carry the lofty status.

“I think once we were

recognized by the state, we were a little nervous about it,” Mostek said. “You know, you’re scared of losing that. But when it really comes down to things, we have to Mostek play up to that. We got through one rotation and things started to click.”

Junior Jenna Taylor, who matched Mostek with a team-high nine kills, concurred that the team lacked

it’s rhythm early.

“I think our intensity was down at the start,” Taylor said. “It all starts with the pass. They were throwing some off-speed stuff at us and we couldn’t quite get the pass up that we needed for the set to let us put it down. Once we started to figure out they were kind of off-speed, we started playing a little better.”

A strong crowd came out for the state-ranked team’s second of four home appearances, led by a rowdy student section in the southeast corner of the gym.

When Mostek smacked a

kill off a back set by Hanna Luther, and Sydney Dunphy’s slam from the left side gave Creston a 19-17 lead in set one, the Panthers were off and running.

“We hear everyone in the gym yelling and it definitely gets us fired up,” Taylor said.

Coach Luther said her team is adjusting to the new level of attention and expectations.

“They knew the crowd was coming,” Luther said.

“It’s a new thing (state rankings). It’s an adjustment.

And Denison came at us with some balls that were

off-speed compared to the speed of St. Albert’s game.

A good volleyball team has to adjust to that, and we did get things rolling after the slow start.”

Mostek’s slam down the right sideline ended Creston’s 25-22 game one victory.

It was a much better start in the second set, as the Panthers bolted to leads of 5-1 and 10-3. Alyssa Higgins served out the set with three straight points to 25-15, with an ace on the final point.

Auburn survives MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Gus Malzahn squeezed into the ramshackle shed used for postgame news conferences at Kansas State, gripped both sides of the makeshift podium and exhaled deeply.

Fifth-ranked Auburn had just squeezed out a 20-14 victory over the No. 20 Wildcats, and its coach was asked whether it was the kind of nip-and-tuck nonconference game that he likes to play.

“After they’re over and you win, yeah,” Malzahn said. “You do.”

Aubun’s vaunted ground game held in check all night, the Tigers finally pulled away when they went to the air. Nick Marshall threw for 231 yards and two touchdowns, and Auburn forced a trio of turnovers while capitalizing on three missed field goals by the Wildcats.

Still, the game wasn’t over until Marshall found D’haquille Williams running wide open on third-and-9 at the Auburn 37. The completion with 2:06 remaining went for 39 yards, a first down that effectively ended the game, and gave the Tigers (3-0) their first nonconference road win over a ranked team since knocking off Florida State in 1984.

Jake Waters threw for 245 yards, but he also tossed two picks — one in the Auburn end zone.

The Wildcats (2-1) also fumbled the ball away, and Jack Cantele missed those crucial field goals.

Still, the Wildcats tried to rally in the closing minutes, scoring on a run by Charles Jones out of the wildcat formation with 3:49 left. But after holding the Tigers to third down, Marshall took advantage of one more miscue— a bad call on defense — for a first down to seal it.

Panthers second at Winterset meet

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

WINTERSET — Both the Creston boys and girls cross country teams finished runner-up to host Winterset here Thursday at the rescheduled Winterset Invitational.

The meet had been postponed earlier this season because of weather.

The Panthers also saw individual success, as Cooper McDermott and Jay Wolfe decimated the field in finishing one and two in the boys race, and Maria Mostek took second place in the girls race.

McDermott and Wolfe broke away from the rest of the field within the first half mile of the race and never looked back.

“We knew there was no doubt those guys had a chance to go one-two in it,” head coach Pat Schlapia said. “Holy cow, they did that from the get-go.

I didn’t see anybody close to them at all. They dominated the race.”

McDermott took first, running 16:49, while Wolfe crossed the line in 17:04.

“That course, Cooper getting under 17 minutes and Jay right there, that is an outstanding race by both boys,” Schlapia said.

“They saw the state rankings came out and I don’t think those two are getting the respect they deserve out of the state rankings.”

In the girls race, Mostek ran in a threeperson pack that included W i n terset’s Layken G u r w e l l Mostek and Do-

monique Fleming during the early part of the race.

It eventually strung out, with Gurwell taking the lead, followed by Mostek and then Fleming. It stayed that way throughout the remainder of the race, but Mostek was closing in on Gurwell at the end.

Mostek crossed in second place, running 15:42.

“You look at that last 800, Maria was closing on Gurwell,” Schlapia said. “With this being our fourth race, I would say this is her strongest race of the season. I thought she ran very strong all the way through. One of her goals was getting under 16 minutes and she blew that out of the water.”

Pack running After Mostek, there was a 1:40 gap to the second Panther runner, Madison Hance. But, runners two through five were all packed together within 20 seconds of each other.

Hance ran 17:24, followed by Lexie Little in

17:33, Jessica Beatty in 17:43 and Raegen Smith in 17:44.

At Monday’s Ballard meet, Little had run fifth for the Panthers and Smith was running JV. “That was nice to see our two through five bunch,” Schlapia said. “That’s one thing that is very promising to see there, with those girls as a pack.

Now if Schlapia we could just get that pack to move closer to Maria, cut that time down.

That’s very promising.”

The meet was run with all girls running in one race, with the first seven to cross the line counting as varsity. Schlapia said six of the 16 girls who counted as JV ran under 19 minutes.

Boys For the Panther boys, senior Brant Hudson scored

third for the Panthers in 1 9 : 2 2 and junior Nick W a l s h cut more Walsh time off in scoring fourth in 19:53.

“Nick and Brant were both under 20,” Schlapia said. “Nick Walsh looked a lot better today. Here he has been number four for us in these early meets, but I felt this was one of his better races. He looked a lot smoother.”

Sophomore Ben Irr made his return to the Panther lineup after being held out with a leg injury.

He rounded out the team scoring, running 20:34.

“He’s an important part of our team,” Schlapia said. “His leg is still bothering him some. But that was good to have him back running for us. We wanted to make sure he got a chance to run a meet

before our home meet on Tuesday.”

Kyle Jennett ran 20:44 to finish sixth for the Panthers, while Isaac Wignall rounded out the varsity, running 20:46.

Official placings and times were not available at press time.

The Panthers return to action Tuesday in the only home meet of the season.

“Crowd the Course” kicks off at 4 p.m. with the middle school girls race, followed by middle school boys.

The senior parents’ night presentation is scheduled for 4:30 p.m., followed by the Creston little kids race, then JV boys, varsity girls, varsity boys and JV girls.

The meet is run on the Southwestern Community College campus and also on Crestmoor Golf Club.

Iowa searching for answers on offense

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

IOWA CITY (AP) — This was supposed to be the year that Iowa flourished under offensive coordinator Greg Davis.

Three games in, the Hawkeyes look inept.

Iowa (2-1) scored only 17 points against Ball State and Iowa State and is 102nd out of 128 FBS teams in scoring at 21.7 points per game.

What is troubling about those numbers is that the Hawkeyes basically brought back their entire offense, and Davis is now in his third year calling plays.

Coach Kirk Ferentz reiterated his support for Davis on Tuesday as the Hawkeyes prepare for their toughest test yet, a date with unbeaten Pittsburgh (3-0) on Saturday.

“Greg is an outstanding teacher. He’s an outstanding human being. He’s a solid person,” Ferentz said.

“But if you’re in it long enough, you’re going to get your tail kicked. That’s just the way it goes. That’s part of the deal. If you can’t deal with it, you probably have to do something else.”

If there is one thing that is clearly lacking at Iowa, it is big plays. The Hawkeyes aren’t making any.

Iowa has completed three passes that went over 20 yards. To put that number in

perspective, national-leader Western Kentucky has 21.

There appear to be a number of issues holding Iowa’s vertical attack back.

Iowa’s receivers aren’t turning the short passes, favored by Davis, into drivesustaining gains. Quarterback Jake Rudock and his receivers often seem to be on different pages on longer routes, and the line allowed four sacks against the Cyclones.

Iowa also has a pair of potential solutions on the bench in explosive redshirt freshman Derrick Willies and senior Damond Powell, a junior college transfer in his second season with the Hawkeyes.

Neither caught a pass in last week’s 20-17 loss to the Cyclones, which ended with a 42-yard field goal with 2 seconds left.

“They’re young guys.

Derrick is young chronologically. Powell, as you remember, he’s been here for a year basically,” Ferentz said. “Nothing against either of those guys. It’s just where they’re at right now. They’ve got growth to make.”

Part of the reason Iowa’s passing game is struggling is that its running game is also struggling.

Iowa is averaging just 3.6 yards a carry. None of the four backs in its rotation have reached 100 yards rushing for the year.

18:53; Danielle Castillo, 18:54; run against Iowa State last Creston — Cooper weekend, but they were largely ineffective. The Hawkeyes scored just three points after halftime.

Iowa ran for 129 yards on 44 carries — and Rudock had 12.

“We haven’t found the right rhythm, right tempo,” Ferentz said.

Iowa doesn’t need to suddenly become an offensive powerhouse for the program to have a successful year, largely because the Hawkeyes have been outstanding on defense.

But the Hawkeyes simply have to start scoring more points if they hope to compete in the Big Ten West.

Given how bad the league has looked so far, even marginal offensive improvement might be enough to make Iowa a contender.

“We’re doing it in practice. We just need the opportunity to make them in a game. Hopefully, we’ll get those chances this upcoming week,” senior wide receiver Kevonte Martin-Manley said. “We feel like if the ball is in our hands, we can make CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER those plays.”

Creston senior Raegen Smith charges up a hill Thursday at the Winterset Invitational.

Smith finished fifth for the Panthers, running 17:44 over the 4K course.

VOLLEYBALL: Continued from page 8A

set, Creston’s hustle drew a roar from the home crowd during a long rally on the next point. Hanna Luther made a diving save along the right sideline, and Mostek’s stuff block ended the point for a 17-10 command.

Mostek also got a kill on the next point and Taylor slammed a kill down the right side as Luther served a pair of Taylor points to 20-11.

With some senior substitutions on the court near the end of the third set, Nicole Haley made the most of her opportunity with a crosscourt kill and a block on the final two points of the 25-17 win. Brenna Baker had a dig during that final stretch.

Stat leaders Angela Sorensen and Marie Hood each had six kills. Mostek had four blocks and Hood had two.

Libero Jami Sickels had a team-high seven digs with six by Mostek and five each

by Alli Thomsen and Haylee LaMasters.

Thomsen received serve at an 8-of-11 clip, and LaMasters was perfect in 11 service attempts.

Mostek said being ranked 11th in the state is appreciated by a group that began talking about lofty goals in middle school volleyball.

“It shows what we’ve done over the years, how our program has changed, and how we’ve come to-

We know we can play with anybody.”

That concept could be put the test Saturday when the Panthers compete in the Red Oak Tournament, which includes the fourth-ranked host Tigers and a Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln team that is ranked No. 9 in Class 5A. A rematch with DenisonSchleswig begins the day for the Panthers.

“It’s a stacked tournament,” Luther said. “As for being one of the ranked teams, there’s nothing wrong with setting a standard for these girls to be at, and achieve higher. It’s always good to push people.”

The tournament begins at 9 a.m.

Area volleyball Raiderettes 3-1 DES MOINES Mount Ayr improved to 8-3 for the season with a 3-1 night at the Des Moines Christian Tournament Thursday night.

The Raiderettes started the night with a 2-0 loss to Des Moines Christian before earning 2-0 sweeps of Newton, Grinnell and Van Meter.

“I think we came out scared of Des Moines Christian to start the night,” said Raiderette coach Tori Braby. “We have played them in years past and gotten slaughtered.

But I would like to have had them again by the end of the night.”

Allie Shields left after the first game with illness, and Tessa Shields stepped in to provide a spark, Braby said.

I don’t have one girl to brag on tonight, all the girls on the court had greatness at one

point in the night.”

Blair Glendenning had 16 digs and Sadie Frost had six solo blocks in the 23-21, 21-7 loss to Des Moines Christian.

Mount Ayr edged Newton 21-19, 22-20. Kelcie Shields had eight kills and five blocks.

Casey’s General Store on South Elm Street opened in Creston in 1969. It was the second Casey’s store to open.

There are now more than 1,800 stores in the United States.

Quality However, Cochran said there are several things that haven’t changed.

“The quality of the service, and the products we sell has not changed,” Cochran said.

“We provide clean stores with quality products, fair prices and exceptional customer service.”

Cochran is in her 20th year at Casey’s.

“I’ve gone through a lot of changes, from doing everything manually with paperwork and knowing the prices in your head to doing

Casey’s General Store was started in Boone, after Lamberti was successful owning a convenience store in Des Moines. He purchased a service center in Boone and after its success, purchased a service center in Creston.

The Creston store succeeded, and Lamberti continued to expand. In 1982, the distribution center opened in Urbandale. By that time, there were approximately 120 stores in the chain. In the 1990s, the distribution center moved to Ankeny, and in 1996, Altoona became home to the 1,000th Casey’s store.

As of June 30, the chain owns and operates 1,835 stores spanning 14 states in the Midwest and plains areas.

Future plans include expanding the company by building a second distribution center in Indiana.

Currently, the only one is located in Ankeny, but by building a second one, the company can expand into the southern and eastern parts of the country.

Kuhns is no longer with Casey’s.

In 45 years, Cochran said nearly everything has changed within the store, including an expansion onto the south side of the building.

“The technology, the cash registers, the pumps are different,” Cochran said. “They’ve added this extension here when they added pizza here.

They added this on so they had a place to do pizzas and doughnuts.”

When the store first opened, there was one cooler with four doors and no freezer. Since then, they’ve added on. There is now a freezer with three doors, and a cooler with seven doors to hold things such as pop, water, beer and other cold items.

There are also eight employees at that particular Casey’s, increased from three in 1969.

Cochran also said she has appreciated working at Casey’s those 20 years.

“I don’t think that I would ever want to work for any other company,” Cochran said, “because they take care of their employees. Casey’s is one of the best companies that I have ever seen.”
