Transportation tradeoff With more state funding spent transporting students, rural school districts have fewer dollars to spend on education.

■

By IAN RICHARDSON

CNA staff reporter irichardson@crestonnews.com

CORNING — At 420 square miles, Southwest Valley is the fourth-largest school district in the state of Iowa.

With such a large area, transporting students to school and back can get expensive.

Last school year, Southwest Valley’s 12 buses and five vans traveled 272,625 route miles. Net operating costs to do that totaled $584,821, which breaks down to $1,975 for each student who uses school transportation.

That’s about three times the $633.38 state average for the 2013-2014 school year, according to the most recent statewide data available from the Iowa Department of Education.

Southwest Valley Superintendent Willie Stone said since transportation money comes out of the per-pupil funding given by the state, t h e s e higher transport a t i o n Stone costs affect other areas the school would like to spend more money on, like hiring teachers.

“Basically we’re just spending more than twice as much on transportation than the average school district in the state,” Stone said. “When you spend that money on transportation, that’s not going to education.”

This transportation inequity affects many of the sparsely populated rural school districts of Iowa, especially locally. In 20132014, seven of the 11 districts in the Creston News Advertiser coverage area paid more than $1,000 per pupil transported. Two, Diagonal and Prescott,

A school bus turns onto Green Valley Road after dropping students off at Creston Elementary/Middle School. Creston Schools paid $381.89 per student transported in 2014-2015, according to data from the Iowa Department of Education.

were well above $2,000.

The 2014-2015 numbers reported by local districts to the Iowa Department of Education last week are looking similar to the previous year. Along with Southwest Valley’s $1,975, Bedford spent about $1,300 per pupil transported last year and Mount Ayr spent just over $1,000. Diagonal spent about $2,200.

The Department of Education will release its statewide 2014-2015 report in late December or early January.

Solutions

Iowa Rep. Cecil Dolecheck, R-Mount Ayr, chairman of the education budget committee, said he has been trying to pass legislation to help rural schools with this transportation inequity for years.

He also said it’s finally becoming an issue at the forefront.

Dolecheck is now part of an interim committee that will look at funding issues, with transportation equity being one of the main issues. Dolecheck said the

committee is scheduled to meet for two days between now and the start of the next legislative session.

“Hopefully this year maybe we can at least partially take care of that inequity,” he Dolecheck said.

About a half-dozen bills were introduced during the last legislative session to help schools with transportation costs, he said.

The one talked about the most suggested giving districts the option to use property tax to pay for higher-than-average transportation costs.

Dolecheck said he would rather have the state cover it.

But the debate often gets tied up in funding, he said, and it would cost the state $70-$80 million to fully subsidize transportation.

Stone — who is also a

“Basically we’re just spending more than twice as much on transportation than the average school district in the state.”

— Willie Stone

Southwest Valley superintendent

representative for Rural School Advocates of Iowa, a lobbyist group that has made transportation inequity one of its cornerstone issues — said Dolecheck and others have been champions for local districts. He said legislation seems to be moving in the right direction.

“I understand things don’t happen immediately,” Stone said. “I think those continuing discussions will be a big thing, making sure we’re talking to our legislators about where we’re at and how it will help us.”

The situation drew comparisons to an episode of “Survivor.”

On the same night two new members officially joined the Creston Community School Board, the board faced the decision Monday of who will leave when the Creston and Prescott districts consolidate next year.

After discussion, the board voted to hold a special meeting Wednesday to make the final decision.

When Creston and Prescott’s consolidation officially begins July 1, 2016, the board needs to contain four members of the current Creston board and one member of the current Prescott board. All positions will then be at-large as they come up for election.

Don Gee of Prescott will be the representative carried over from the Prescott board.

Creston and Prescott Superintendent Steve McDermott said Monday that the current five-member board must decide who will step down in July. The member will, however, serve through the remainder of this school year.

“At one point we thought maybe an incumbent would stay, agree to run once more and run for just a year,” McDermott said.

“That choice changed.”

McDermott said the board’s legal counsel said if no one on the board volunteers, the best solution

w o u l d be for a member to make a motion that four of the five members are re- McDermott tained for the 2016 school year. The board will then vote.

McDermott said the board didn’t have to “vote someone off the island” that night, but had the option to schedule a special meeting, to allow each member a few days to consider the best way to make the decision.

The board voted to hold a special meeting noon Wednesday in the administration building, 801 N. Elm St. “I’ll put ‘Gilligan’s Island,’” b o a r d Zumbach member Galen Zumbach said as he entered the meeting into his phone.

In other Creston Community Schools news: • The board held a short meeting with its former members. The board voted to approve the results of the 2015 school board elections. Board president Ron Dunphy and board member Rick Fyock received gifts for their time on the board.

Green Valley trail almost complete Rainy weather has caused a few delays on the Green Valley trail construction this spring and summer.

Alan Carr, Green Valley park ranger, said about 1,500 feet of concrete still needs to be poured, which could be complete in the next two weeks. Then the crew will begin

working on the trail’s shoulders, which he said may or may not be finished this fall.

When complete, the extension will stretch nearly three and one-half miles, connecting McKinley Park to the campgrounds at Green Valley Lake.

GREENFIELD — Record keeping is one of the experiences unique to the 4-H program. Throughout the year members are encouraged to set goals and record their progress using 4-H record forms. 4-H records also allow youth to keep track of their accomplishments in the areas of leadership, citizenship and communication.

There are many reasons to keep a record book. Records as a source of memories often come to the top of the list when 4-H alumni reflect on their record keeping experiences. They’re also quick to point out the value of learning the discipline of record keeping that has allowed them to feel at ease in maintaining everything from financial to personal records as adults.

A solid record book also provides much of the information needed by youth when they prepare to apply for college scholarships and jobs. In addition, the members look forward to

tension office by 6 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 1. 4-H’ers can also earn recognition for volunteer service by submitting community service logs

by Oct. 1. The log must include the type of community service activity, dates of service and hours volunteered.

All youth completing records will be recognized at the annual 4-H awards event planned for 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, at the Warren Cultural Center in Greenfield.

4-H enrollments and re-enrollments are being accepted now. Youth planning to join 4-H this year are encouraged to attend the new member/parent meeting scheduled from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 3, in the Green Room of the Warren Cultural Center located on the east side of the square in Greenfield. This meeting is for new members and their parents and current members and parents (first or second year). Expectations, future dates, 4-H enrollment, hands-on activities and refreshments are on the agenda.

New special interest youth food group being organized GREENFIELD — A new special interest group for youth who are excited about cooking, food and nutrition and having fun, all at the same time, is being created. Adair County volunteers Terri Raasch and Becky Raasch will be leading the group with the goals of learning kitchen safety, preparing food and following recipes. Meetings and activities will be targeted to fourth through sixth graders, but older youth are encouraged to attend also. You don’t have to be a 4-H’er to be a member of the group.

An informational meeting is scheduled from 2 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4, at the 4-H/FFA center on the fairgrounds. Youth and a parent are encouraged to bring their ideas of what they would like to have included in the program planning.

There will be a small fee to cover food and supplies.

Confidential scholarships will be available upon request. Registration forms will be available at the meeting. Call the Extension office 641-743-8412 or email wallaced@iastate.edu to sign-up for the informational meeting.

Woods took their oaths of office. The new board elected Sharon Snodgrass board president and Tom Eagan board vice president.

• Food Service Director Nora Sprague informed the board that all children attending the Early Childhood Center receive meals free of charge because of the percentage of students directly certified for free lunches.

• The board approved the members of the School Improvement Advisory Committee. The committee still needs a middle school and high school parent to join

the committee. Administrators said they would continue to look for interested parents.

• The board approved the draft of Creston’s Teacher Leadership and Compensation Grant application.

• The board received proficiency charts for Creston Schools students. The data showed students’ proficiency in reading, mathematics, science and social studies for grades 2-11, as well as reading scores compared with other schools within the area and the state. McDermott said the sharing of data will be built into future agendas.

Adair County 4-H’ers demonstrate communication at Iowa State Fair GREENFIELD — Communication skills are a major part of learning and growing in the 4-H program.

Adair County 4-H’ers did a great job of demonstrating their communication skills at the 2015 Iowa State Fair.

Six of the 11 clubs were represented in the State Fair communication event.

Working exhibits are always popular at the state fair. This year was no exception. The team of Halee Wallace of Creston, Ashlyn Kralik and Brooklyn Sammons, both of Orient, and all members of the Richland Royals 4-H Club encouraged fairgoers to make bookmarks using paint sample strips during their working exhibit. The girls received the seal of excellence certificate — the highest rating earned by state fair communication participants. Ellan Clay of Anita and Madison Suhr of Adair, members of the Summit Super Stars, entertained people with their butterfly brunch. Abigail Christensen and Bella Rubio, members of the NV Champions, instructed fairgoers as they made pet toys. Hank Bohling, Dakota Hughes and Riley Lonsdale teamed up to encourage young and old to make summertime tunes.

Each of these working exhibits earned a seal of merit.

Skyler Rawlings of Greenfield, member of the Adair County Hot Shots, earned a seal of excellence with his educational presentation on fish Iowa. Zayden Rawlings and Storm Hoadley, also members of the Hot Shots, received a seal of

merit sharing their knowledge of “what is fetal alcohol spectrum disorder?”

Ethan Blomme of Bridgewater, member of the Summerset Citizens, earned a seal of merit with his educational presentation entitled “bonds of war”.

Three Adair County 4-H’ers provided speaking entries in the popular Share the Fun Program on the stage in the 4-H Exhibit Building. The Share the Fun Program is non-competitive at the Iowa State Fair. Presentations provide an opportunity for 4-H members to perform before an audience purely for the sake of enjoyment. Brooklyn Sammons of Orient, member of the Richland Royals, gave her rendition of “Boys.” Shelby Soper of Adair, member of the Summit Super Stars, presented her speech “Pretty.” “One Small Baby Step” was the prose reading given by Cole Hawley of Stuart, member of the Harrison Hummers 4-H Club.

4-H provides youth of all ages the opportunity to develop and practice communication skills at the local, county and state level.

Adair County is currently enrolling 4-H members for the 2015-16 program year.

Youth must be in at least the fourth grade to be eligible for competitive 4-H activities at the county level. To learn more about signing up for the 4-H program, contact Donna Wallace, Adair County Extension Office, at 641-743-8412, 800-ISUE399 or by email at wallaced@ iastate.edu.

OPINION

Don’t just fire officer James Frascatore; arrest him New York City Police Officer James Frascatore has given new meaning to the Grand Slam of tennis. Last week, he violently assaulted retired tennis champion James Blake in front of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, tackling Blake as he was waiting for a ride to watch the U.S. Open. Blake, a 35-year-old African-American, was formerly the top men’s tennis player in the United States, was fourth in the world and has scores of trophies from around the globe. Blake didn’t know what hit him.

If the New York Police Department had taken previous charges against Frascatore seriously, Blake would have never been attacked.

Frascatore is white and has been with the NYPD for four years, and in that short time has provoked multiple lawsuits alleging police brutality and excessive force, as well as numerous complaints to the police oversight Civilian Complaint Review Board. So, while James Blake has long excelled on the court, James Frascatore excels at being sued in court. Frascatore has a clear pattern of racist violence against innocent citizens. It is only because he assaulted a man

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

of means, a celebrity, captured on video, that his conduct is under scrutiny. Both Police Commissioner William Bratton and Mayor Bill de Blasio have called Blake and apologized.

Warren Diggs is still waiting for his calls of apology from the two men. On Jan. 13, 2013, he was riding his bicycle home in the neighborhood of Jamaica, Queens. As he reached his driveway, he told us, speaking on the “Democracy Now!” news hour: “I go down the driveway, and on the way down, I hear somebody yell to me, ‘Stop!

Where are you going? Where are you going?’ So, I’m not sure if it’s for me, because, you know, there’s no reason for it, but there’s nobody else outside at this time.”

He went on: “Officer Frascatore, two other officers come running down the driveway. ‘Where you going? Where you going?’ I said, ‘I’m going home. What’s the

problem?’ They said, ‘What’s your name? Do you have any ID?’ I said, ‘My name is Warren. Yes, I have ID, but I don’t have it on me.

It’s inside.’”

Diggs slowly pulled the keys from his pocket and unlocked the two doors to his home. “As soon as my second foot reaches the landing, Frascatore grabs me, tries to pull me out and just spins me around,” he continued. “I asked him, like, ‘What’s the problem?’

The other officer grabs my other arm, and they both yank me out into the driveway. So I’m saying, ‘What is the problem? What is this about?’ Frascatore punches me in the side of the head. The officer that was behind me, he grabs me around my waist, picks me up, he slams me on the ground.”

It was dark, and no one was around to witness the beating.

Warren Diggs choked up with emotion as he continued to recount his ordeal: “Frascatore drops down on me. The guy behind me hits me in my back. I’m getting hit all in my side. I see two other cops come down the ramp. And I’m getting hit, I’m getting hit. I’m asking, what are they doing, what are they

doing? Nobody’s saying anything to me, so I start screaming for my girlfriend to come outside. I’m calling her, calling her, calling her, and she doesn’t respond. So I just start screaming, ‘Help! Help! Help!

Help!’ over and over again, louder and louder, as loud as I could.”

“A hand appears in front of me,” he went on. “I get maced in my forehead. I close my eyes, and I’m getting hit and getting hit. I hear again, ‘Mace him again. Mace him again.’ I get maced a second time.

I’m still getting hit.”

Nafeesah Hines, Diggs’ girlfriend, came outside, at which time Diggs said the beating stopped.

She took his bicycle inside as the police led Diggs to the squad car.

Hines made an audio recording of what followed, capturing a chilling exchange as police forced their way into her house and arrested her, as well, for “tampering with evidence.” That’s right: since the police accused Diggs of riding on the sidewalk, the bike was evidence. Diggs didn’t know that his girlfriend had been arrested until he saw her later, at the station, handcuffed to a bench in her nightgown. In the station, Diggs was

subjected to racial slurs. They said he looked like an animal, and lived in the jungle. Diggs had been so badly beaten and maced, a medic asked that he be released into her custody, but the police refused.

Ultimately, all charges against Diggs and Hines were dropped.

Diggs filed a federal lawsuit against Officers James Frascatore, Timothy Costello, Alex Lombardozzi, Jared Hospedales and others present whose names are not yet known. But these are just civil charges. The NYPD and Mayor de Blasio must take swift action.

James Blake and others have called for his assailant to be fired.

But Frascatore and his co-conspirators should be arrested. They are a threat to public safety. *** Amy Goodman is the host of “Democracy Now!,” a daily international TV/radio news hour airing on more than 1,300 stations.

Donald Trump dropped out of a GOP candidates’ forum HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

White House press secretary Josh Earnest blasted Donald Trump for not correcting a town hall questioner who called President Obama a Muslim on Friday.

The president himself was unavailable for comment. Barack Obama does not allow anything to interrupt the Friday Call to Golf.

Donald Trump dropped out of a GOP candidates’ forum in South Carolina amid the fracas over the Obama-Muslim controversy. In other words, Trump left it to his ten opponents to defend Islam in South Carolina. It could’ve only

I would like to take this opportunity to address the current “homecoming week” festivities. I am a Creston High School graduate and one of my greatest memories is homecoming. I can still remember the first year my mom and I attended the queen coronation at the “old” high school. Standing out front at the conclusion of the crowning of the queen, having the cheerleaders lead the crowd in cheers, the band playing the CHS fight song making the queen and her court feel like royalty.

Homecoming by definition is a time to “come home” celebrate/ reminisce on your school days. I am all for changes in traditions.

One of the additions I appreciate is the hall of fame induction, which began back in 2005. Unfortunately, the individuals who are inducted are not getting the overwhelming community support they deserve due to the ceremony being held on Friday afternoon. The current student body often times does not know who the inductees are but have heard stories about them as

told by their parents, grandparents or neighbors. Last year’s inductee Gary Bucklin stated in his speech of how he had moved on to his second generation of sports announcing, wouldn’t it have been great if the first generation could have been in attendance to hear about how honored he was to receive the award.

I personally think if events were held in the evening, with the queen coronation, hall of fame induction and a small pep rally with fireworks, the community attendance would increase. I realize that the queen coronation is for the current high school students, and the school wants the student body’s involvement/participation, but as a parent I want to make memories with my children just as my parents did with me by attending the events together. The students who want to attend will find a way to attend.

I attended last year’s pep rally on Wednesday night, the queen coronation, hall of fame induction, homecoming parade and football game on Friday. The pep rally had great attendance by the public sector. I was disappointed to see the

student body class cheer participation dwindle as it progressed from freshman to seniors. While attending the queen coronation/ hall of fame induction, the young man sitting next to me had his phone nicely tucked in his shirt so he could text or play a game while the events were going on, a sign to me he clearly didn’t care about the event or want to be in attendance.

Many employers have employees who would love to attend the events that are currently scheduled for Friday. However, that is not possible if we intend to keep businesses operating. I feel extremely sorry for the Creston Community School staff, elementary and middle school students since they are unable to attend the events of Friday afternoon because they are in the classroom even though the queens/escorts and inductees are former students of their classroom, friends, siblings, neighbors, or perhaps a former co-workers.

I am just one voice attempting to speak for many, but would appreciate revamping of the festivities to allow for more attendance from the community.

Takeaways with 31 points scored off those takeaways in 2 games for the Jets this season.

National Digest Jets roll INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The New York Jets’ suddenly opportunistic defense did it again Monday night.

Calvin Pryor intercepted one pass to set up a touchdown, Darrelle Revis snuffed out a scoring chance by recovering a Colts fumble in his own end zone as New York Jets confounded Andrew Luck most of the night and held on for a 20-7 victory at Indianapolis.

New York, 2-0 for the first time since 2011, already has 10 takeaways this season and has turned them into 31 points - a stark contrast from 2014 when New York scored 20 points off turnovers the entire season.

Indianapolis matched last season’s 0-2 start by losing back-to-back games for only the second time in Luck’s fouryear career.

Cutler out LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears can apparently breathe a little easier knowing quarterback Jay Cutler suffered no major damage to his hamstring.

Amid reports that Cutler will miss at least two weeks, coach John Fox said Monday his quarterback has a strained hamstring and that tests showed no major damage. Jimmy Clausen figures to start for the Bears (0-2) when they visit defending NFC champion Seattle (0-2) this week, although Fox would not confirm that.

Cutler was injured trying to make a tackle after getting intercepted in Sunday’s 48-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Cutler walked to the locker room after getting stiff-armed trying to take down Tony Jefferson as he returned the pick 26 yards for a touchdown late in the first half. The team would not say which of his hamstrings was injured.

Cardinals rally ST. LOUIS — Rookie Stephen Piscotty doubled in the goahead run in a tworun eighth inning and the St. Louis Cardinals turned it on late for a 2-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.

Rookie Tommy Pham tripled off J.J. Hoover (8-2) to open the eighth and Jhonny Peralta’s one-out single tied it ahead of Piscotty’s drive off the wall in left-center.

Johnathon Broxton (3-5) allowed one hit the eighth and Trevor Rosenthal earned his 47th save in 49 chances to match the franchise record.

The Cardinals had a four-game NL Central lead over Pittsburgh before the opener of their final home stand.

They’re a major leaguebest 51-24 at home and have the best overall record, too, at 94-56.

Tradition rescheduled to improve racing

By JACOB BEST

Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING — The 18th annual running of the NAPA Auto Parts and NAPA Jobbers Tradition was moved to Sunday this year with hopes of having a better track for the drivers.

ACS seemed to get it right with having some of the finest racing it’s had all year on Sunday. Drivers, fans and crews from all over came to compete for one of the highest pay-outs of the year.

B-mods put on a show

The B-mod drivers gave the fans a race to talk about this year. Ed Hamilton made his first 2015 appearance at ACS and walked away with a trophy.

Hamilton held off some of the best in the business during the feature and had a door-to-door race for the finish with Cody Olsen, who was also making his first appearance at ACS. Coming in third was last week’s provisional winner Glenn Gladson Jr., followed by some of 2015’s top contenders at ACS. Ryan Jenkins took fourth place and Shawn Kralik finished in the fifth spot.

A-Modifieds run fast

The A-Modifieds put down some of the fastest laps of the night with great racing action.

Kyle Brown, another driver making his first appearance at ACS, took home a feature win, but no one would make it an easy one. Jesse Dennis ran side-by-side for a majority of the race, taking the lead

several times.

Just behind them, David Brown and Jake Neal (last week’s provisional winner) battled for third and fourth, with Brown nudging ahead enough to take third. Fifth was not going to be settled easy, with Todd Van Eaton, Brian Foote and Jared Steins all aiming for a top-five finish.

Todd “The Don” Van Eaton pulled it out, finishing just ahead of Foote followed by Steins.

Repeat champ

Last week Jeff Anderson came to ACS for the first time this year and won the provisional. Sunday, he backed it up with the Tradition win.

Jeff held off his son Shannon Anderson for

the win Sunday afternoon.

Chasing them down was last week’s hard-charger “Cowboy” Jim Tull, who had fans on their feet watching the former track champion give it his all trying to chase down the Anderson family.

Just behind Tull was an array of the 2015 ACS track champion contenders. Fourth went to Andy Davison, fifth going to the “Silver Fox” Tom Myers, with a well-fought battle for sixth with Jeremy Purdy finishing just ahead of “Cool Hand” Luke Ramsey in seventh.

Pro-stocks battle

If there was a race fans didn’t want to miss this year, it was Sunday’s prostock feature.

Some of the best drivers around the midwest came to chase a $1,500 pay day and over $3,000 in lap bonus winnings.

Everyone was on their feet with all the great drivers competing. The first half of the feature was door-to-door and side-by-side at its best with “Smokin” Joe Zadina, Greg Miller, Rick Germar, Tony Hardisty, “The Sharpshooter” Kevin Sharp, Dusty Van Horn, Brad Derry and others starting inside the top 10.

Miller and Zadina had a great showing as they gave it their all, fighting back and forth for the lead.

With those two doing some of the best driving of the night in a dog fight, it gave

the drivers behind them a chance to reel them in, as Sharp made it into the mix as well.

As the race came down to the halfway mark, it was Sharp in the lead. As the pit stops began on the front stretch, Sharp was given the choice — take the halfway bonus and get set back or keep the pole and the bonus went to the others behind him. Sharp decided to take a chance and took the bonus and pulled the number four hat setting him back into fourth place for the restart.

After the restart, car trouble appeared to catch Miller as he fell back through the field. Hardisty and Zadina faded from the front, opening the door for some of the other drivers. Kevin Sharp held off Keith Knop, who finished second, and Nathan Wood who took home third.

Adam Hensel was able to take home a fourthplace finish and AJ Miller rounded out the top five.

2015 put to bed at ACS

When the dust settled Sunday evening, the racing action concluded for the year at Adams County Speedway. The crew at ACS, drivers, crews and fans alike get a break until this coming April.

The ACS Banquet with give everyone a chance to get back together and enjoy each other’s company on Jan. 16, 2016. Thank you to all the drivers, crews and fans that have spent an evening of racing with us this year and we can’t wait to see you all in 2016.

Spartan women compete at Viking Invitational DES MOINES — The Southwestern Community College women’s cross country team competed at the Viking Invitational here Friday, hosted by Grand View University at Water Works Park.

The Spartan men did not compete in the meet, instead using the weekend to train for upcoming meets.

Southwestern finished eighth in the eight-team field, scoring 196 points.

Iowa Lakes finished 24 points ahead of the Spartans in seventh.

“Weather on Friday made for true cross country conditions, as a torrential rain storm took place during the race and the course was under water in parts,” Southwestern head coach Nick Ekel said. “The meet was delayed due to thunderstorms that moved through the Des Moines area.”

Shiomi Kuwabara led the Spartans with a 35th-place finish. With the displaced scoring, K u w a bara finished 31st.

Sophom o r e s Brooke Lindgren and Char- Lindgren ley Buddenhagen finished 38th and 41st, respectively.

The timing system malfunctioned during the women’s race and times were not recorded.

“I was very proud of the way our ladies rose to the occasion on a wet, muddy day where times were slow,” Ekel said. “Shiomi, Brooke and Charley competed very well over the last 1,000 meters, passing women from Region XI

schools. That competitiveness learned here will benefit our team moving forward.”

Kylie Bidrowski finished 56th, with Rachel Flickinger finishing 59th and Justice Post in 60th.

The Spartans return to competition at the Brissman-Lundeen Invitational hosted by Augustana College in Rock Island, Ill., on Friday.

Area football Murray 46, Guthrie Center 23 GUTHRIE CENTER — After trailing 17-16 at halftime, Murray dominated the second half in a 46-23 victory over Guthrie Center Friday night.

Grady Laabs scored a 3-yard touchdown to push Guthrie Center in front 2316 early in the third quarter.

Then the Mustangs scored 30 unanswered points.

Jack Jones led off the flurry with a 2-yard TD run late in the third period, and then bolted 55 yards and 6 yards for Jones additional scoring runs in the fourth quarter.

Dustin Teas capped the scoring with a 38-yard in-

terception return with 5:06 remaining.

Jones finished with four touchdowns and 215 yards on 33 carries. Fisher Decker completed four passes for 60 yards, including a TD connection with Teas for 30 yards.

Murray improved to 1-1 in Eight-Man District 7 and 2-3 overall. Guthrie Center fell to 0-2 and 1-3.

“We did a lot of things well, especially in the second half,” Murray coach Taylor Fulton said. “We were able to establish a running game with Jack Jones, and Fisher Decker did a good job of running the offense.

We looked pretty good up front.”

The Mustang defense forced three turnovers and allowed no scoring the final 20 minutes of play.

“We had a lot of guys getting seven to nine tackles,”

Fulton said. “Guys were hungry to get to the ball.

Our special teams are playing well. Jones had a kickoff return called back for the third time on a penalty, and he has one this year that wasn’t called back.”

This week the Mustangs observe homecoming against Adair-Casey (0-1 and 0-4).

7th volleyball

Creston seventh-graders won six of 15 sets in the season opener Thursday against Atlantic, with Team One sweeping the Trojans with two narrow victories and a 15-0 shutout.

“Strong serving helped in the wins. Karly Calvin served 14 straight points in the third set.”

Atlantic defeated Team Two 2-1.

“Once again, our passing will get better as we progress and our communication will get better as well,” Keeler said. “It’s good to see them fight in the thirds set and get the (15-11) win.”

Underwood 55, Southwest Valley 0 CORNING — Southwest Valley couldn’t contain seventh-ranked Underwood’s speed here Friday on homecoming, falling 55-0 in a non-district matchup.

Underwood’s senior quarterback Nick Pedersen had an efficient night, finishing 13-of-18 passing for 293 yards and five touchdowns. Tyler Conn caught four passes for 131 yards and one touchdown, while Colin Opstvedt had seven receptions for 118 yards and three scores. Isaiah Humphrey added a 34-yard touchdown catch.

“We wanted them to pass the ball, because we worked a lot on stopping their run,” Southwest Valley head coach Bob Casagrande said. “We were in position two or three times to make a play and they would come over the top of us and our guys weren’t aggressive at the end of the play going after the ball. That

for More Than 45 Years

quarterback threw the ball really well and they’ve got some really good receivers. They’re an all-around good football team.”

On the flip side, when it appeared Southwest Valley would have running room on offense, those holes quickly closed up.

Sophomore quarterback Chance Cobb led the Timberwolves with 42 rushing yards on 10 carries. Freshman Aiden Gaule added 21 yards on eight carries.

“They had incredible team speed,” Casagrande said. “We would look like we had an opening and all of a sudden, it’d be a blink of an eye and they’d have three guys there.

It was really difficult playing those guys.”

Defensively, senior Tony Klocke led Southwest Valley with eight solo tackles and three assists. Merik Gaule added eight solo stops with one assist and Cobb had seven solo tackles with three assists.

Southwest Valley, now 1-3 overall and 0-1 in Class 1A District 8, returns to action at Woodward-Granger on Friday. Woodward-Granger is 1-3 overall and 0-2 in District 8.

8th football

RED OAK — It was a day of shutouts for the Creston/O-M eighth-grade football team Thursday at Red Oak, as the A team won 28-0 and the B squad prevailed by a 30-0 score.

“Both games were extremely well-executed,” coach Anthony Donahoo said. “Our kids are running a fairly complex high school offense and doing it well. We had very few miscues or penalties, and we were aggressive at the point of attack on both sides of the ball

in both games. We were very happy about it.”

Creston/O-M (A) 28, Red Oak 0 Rushing — Rylan Luther 5-79, 2 TD; Eli Loudon 8-37; Brayton Chestnut 3-6; Camden Peterson 1-3; Brant Looney 1-2.

America celebrates US Constitution Farmers Cooperative Company WASHINGTON — Sept.

17 began the national celebration of Constitution Week. The weeklong commemoration of America’s most important document is one of our country’s leastknown official observances.

Our Constitution stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history to maintain their liberties and freedom and to ensure those inalienable rights to every American.

The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started many years ago by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). In 1955, the Daughters petitioned Congress to set aside Sept. 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law #915 on Aug. 2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The aims of the celebration are to emphasize citizens’ responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution and preserving it for posterity, to

inform the people that the Constitution is the basis for America’s great heritage and the foundation for our way of life and to encourage the study of the historical events which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787.

The United States of America functions as a republic under the Constitution, which is the oldest document still in active use that outlines the self-government of a people. This landmark idea that men had the inalienable right as individuals to be free and live their lives under their own governance was the impetus of the American Revolution. Today, the Constitution stands as an icon of freedom for people around the world.

“Constitution Week is the perfect opportunity to read and study this great document which is the safeguard of our American liberties,” said Lynn Forney Young, DAR president general.

“We encourage all citizens across the country to take time this week to reflect on

our heritage of freedom and come together to celebrate America!”

DAR has served America for 125 years as its foremost cheerleader. In 1928, the Daughters began work on a building as a memorial to the Constitution. John Russell Pope, architect of the Jefferson Memorial, was commissioned to design the performing arts center, known as DAR Constitution Hall.

Today, DAR Constitution Hall is one of the only structures erected in tribute to the Constitution of the United States of America.

Known as the largest women’s patriotic organization in the world, DAR has more than 180,000 members and approximately 3,000 chapters in all 50 states and 13 foreign countries. The DAR has long promoted patriotism through commemorative celebrations, memorials, programs for new immigrants and scholarships and activities for children. For more information about DAR and its programs, visit www.dar. org or call 202-628-1776.

to hold special E15 promotion JOHNSTON — Farmers Cooperative Company, in conjunction with the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA), today announced it will provide free lunch with any ethanol-blended fuel purchase from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday at its Creston location.

“E15 is approved for use in all 2001 and newer vehicles, meaning E15 is the cleanest-burning, least expensive fuel option available for the vast majority of vehicles on the road today,” said Lucy Norton, IRFA managing director. “Thanks to Farmers Cooperative Company, Creston-area motorists can reap the benefits of this safe, economical fuel, along with several other cleaner-burning ethanol blends, and they can even take advantage of a free lunch with their fill-up through this special promotion.”

Farmers Cooperative

Company is located at 304 N. Osage St. in Creston.

As part of its E15 consumer education program, IRFA will have ethanol experts onhand to talk with motorists and answer any E15 questions.

E15 is a blend of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline that is now available at a significant discount to regular, unleaded gasoline at 38 locations in Iowa. E15 is approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use in all 2001 and newer passenger vehicles, as well as flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs).

Those vehicles account for 85 percent of fuel use in the United States. In order to offer E15 to nonFFVs, a retailer must register with the EPA. IRFA works with retailers to ensure they comply with all federal and state E15 regulations.

For a complete list of registered E15 retailers in

Iowa, go to http://iowarfa.org/IowaE15Retailers. php.

Iowa is the nation’s leader in renewable fuels production. Iowa has 42 ethanol refineries capable of producing more than 3.8 billion gallons annually, including 22 million gallons of annual cellulosic ethanol production capacity and one cellulosic ethanol facility currently under construction.

In addition, Iowa has 12 biodiesel facilities with the capacity to produce nearly 315 million gallons annually.

The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association was formed in 2002 to represent the state’s liquid renewable fuels industry.

The trade group fosters the development and growth of the renewable fuels industry in Iowa through education, promotion, legislation and infrastructure development.
