TAKING FLIGHT

Kidnapping attempts reported in Iowa

■ Iowa DNR reports pheasant numbers are highest since 2008. Still, numbers are nowhere close to 1970s.

GOWRIE (AP) — Authorities are investigating two attempted kidnappings reported in the same Iowa county.

Des Moines television station KCCI says the Webster County sheriff’s office received two reports on Sunday, one in the town of Gowrie and the other in Dayton.

Sheriff James Stubbs says two girls were targeted in separate instances. One is between the ages of 5 and 6, and the other is between 12 and 13 years old. Stubbs says both children are OK. Witnesses described a white-colored vehicle in both reported kidnapping attempts. Authorities say they weren’t able to give a description of a suspect, but they’re conducting interviews and hope to provide more information.

E

ven though it is a small improvement, Iowa’s bird hunters are happy about moving in the right direction.

Iowa’s pheasant population is up to an average of 17.4 birds per 30mile route according to the latest annual count by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. This is a 151 percent increase from 2013.

This is the highest average since 2008 and the largest single-year increase since records have been kept.

The 2014 pheasant season kicks off the last weekend in October.

Hunters are allowed to harvest three birds per day with a maximum of 12 birds in possession.

“I am excited that the numbers are finally up a little after being down for so long,” said Creston police officer and hunter Matt Carr.

“I like watching my dogs work and spending time with friends and family doing something I love.”

DNR officials said the count was up by more than 200 percent in some regions. They travel 210 routes each August.

The count found that the southern region of the state was up, but not as much as the northern region. Officials reported as many as 30 birds per route in the northwest part of Iowa.

Union County Game Wardon Corey Carlton said his counts did not go as well as the rest of the state, but there are a lot of factors that play into the Carlton count.

“We try to all count at the same time and in the same conditions, but there is still a pretty good chunk of the counties we don’t reach,” Carlton said. “I think the numbers are up, and everyone I have talked to are saying

Iowa DNR reports pheasant numbers increased by 151 percent in Iowa from 2013. Officials expect Iowa hunters will harvest between 200,000 and 300,000 roosters this year.

the same.”

Carlton added one of the surprising and encouraging results from the count are the quail numbers are up, too. According to the report, quail numbers recovered by 142 percent from 2013.

NUMBERS GAME 17.4 — Iowa DNR’s average number of birds per 30-mile route, the highest since 2008 1.6 million — Estimated annual harvest of roosters in Iowa in the 1970s 109 thousand — Lowest estimated harvest of roosters in Iowa in 2011 $80.3 million — Average revenue brought in from pheasant hunters in 1997 $21.4 million — Average revenue brought in from pheasant hunters in 2010

State revenue While the increase in numbers is encouraging, it is nowhere close to the number of roosters harvested in the 1970s. Hunters averaged nearly 1.6 million roosters a year.

Iowa benefited from hunters flooding to the state. In 1997, an estimated 205,000 hunters spent $80.3 million in Iowa.

“It will be better than last year, especially since this best increase that we have seen,” Carlton said. “But as far as getting back to the old days, we are not close yet. Hopefully we can get back to that level someday.”

Carr said he does a majority of his hunting in Adair County.

Hunters only harvested 109,000 roosters in 2011 and spending has fallen below $24.1 million.

“I am planning on going out around the season opener and later in the year,” said PJ Frederick, who also does a majority of his hunting in Adair County. “Any recovery in the local birds would mean I would feel less compelled to go to South Dakota to bird hunt like I did last year.”

Body found in car identified as ISU student DES MOINES (AP) — A body found in the trunk of a car in Iowa City was identified Monday as that of an Iowa State University student missing for more than three weeks.

The death of Tong Shao, 20, is suspicious, said Sgt. Scott Gaarde, a spokesman for the Iowa City Police Department.

“The cause and manner of Ms. Shao’s death is not being released at this time pending the autopsy results,” he said in a statement.

An autopsy was completed over the weekend.

Shao, a junior chemical engineering student from China, was last seen in Ames more than three weeks ago.

Her friends told Ames police investigators they last received a text message on Sept. 8 indicating she was in Iowa City visiting a friend.

Police investigators said they want to speak with 23-year-old Xiangnan Li (zi-ON’-nan Lee), of Iowa

More than six million young people across the country will celebrate National 4-H Week, an annual celebration of 4-H during the first full week of October. Union County 4-H will leverage National 4-H Week this year to showcase the great things 4-H offers young people and highlights the incredible 4-H youths in the community who work each day to make a positive impact on the community.

The week will kick off in Union County with a 4-H cookout 4 to 7 p.m.

Sunday at McKinley Park. This event is open to the public both 4-Hers and non-4-Hers, young and old. There will be food, fun and games and conversation.

Throughout the week 4-Hers will be showing their 4-H pride by wearing their 4-H shirts to school and handing out giveaways to elementary children in the schools.

On Oct. 8, 4-Hers will be going trick or treating for canned food items around the residential areas at 5 p.m. Donations will go to support local food pantries. Residents are en-

couraged to be prepared for 4-H trick or treaters to stop at their door.

National 4-H Week will end with the 4-Hers showing their appreciation for the support from local businesses.

Union County offers 11 different 4-H clubs that fourth- through 12th-graders can join. Each of these clubs focuses on similar topics consisting of different project areas, citizenship and volunteering and communications. In addition, several of the clubs specialize in an area such as horses or shooting sports.

4-H in Union County has seen record enrollment this year breaching the 200 mark for fourth- through 12th-graders.

The barns at the county fair were also filled to capacity as more animals were exhibited by 166 4-Hers. Union County had the honor of being represented at the Iowa State Fair by a total of 55 4-Hers in livestock, nonlivestock projects and communications events combined.

Union County tested out some new areas this past year as well with

a Communications Day event which resulted in state fair selections and a new market broiler project which involved 21 4-Hers and 105 broilers and ended with a successful fair sale auction.

Research has proven that participation in 4-H has a significant positive impact on young people. Recent findings from the Tufts University 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that, when compared to their peers, young people in 4-H are: • Nearly four times more likely to contribute to their communities, • Two times more likely to pursue healthy behaviors, and • Two times more likely to engage in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs in outof-school time.

In Union County, more than 200 4-H youths and 100 volunteers from the community are involved in 4-H. For more information about 4-H, contact Haley Jones, county youth and outreach coordinator, at 641-7828426 or hjones@iastate.edu.

But even if a favorable winter and spring occur, the amount of suitable habitat is another factor impacting pheasant population numbers.

Farmers have expanded the amount of acres put into crops, decreasing pheasant habitat. Ideal living acreage fell from 3.8 million in 2007 to 2.8 million in 2014.

Decline and recovery Department officials blame a series of harsh winters and drought on the pheasant’s decline.

An ideal winter for pheasants is less than 19 inches of snow and warm, dry springs.

Carlton said to visit the DNR website and click on the public hunting area tab. He said each site has a questionnaire hunters are encouraged to fill out to let officials know what hunters saw on their hunt and to keep record of how much the public land is being used.

Iowa has received a $1.5 million federal grant to help develop more habitat on private land to support birds. Iowa DNR also received a $3 million grant to help expand public hunting

access on private land.

Based on the numbers, the DNR expects hunters to harvest between 200,00 and 300,000 roosters this year.

“Around home, I saw more pheasants during the summer than I have in a long time,” Frederick said.

Carlton said hunters need to remember to be covered by more than 50 percent blaze orange while bird hunting. He added that most accidental shootings are to the upper torso, so it is a good idea to wear blaze orange hats or stocking caps.

OPINION Gold in them thar hills

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo. — All my life, I’ve heard about how each fall the aspens turn brilliant gold and shimmy like a drunken floozy, a sight that’s supposed to be on everyone’s bucket list. It hasn’t been on mine.

I figured one solitary brand of tree couldn’t possibly compete with the inherent variety of a Southeastern forest, that hardwood constellation of hickory, maple, oak, sycamore, et cetera. On a “good” leaf year, our North Mississippi woods put on a show more colorful than Axl Rose.

But I take it all back. I’m now a believer. The aspens here are a blinding, school-bus yellow, bold streaks across a forest of dark green, as if someone has spilled gold-leaf paint on a jade sofa with lots of pillows. The magnificence is in the simplicity of its two-color scheme.

On the ride up from Colorado

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

Springs to Cripple Creek — a former mining town transformed into a clutch of casinos — people are stopped to gawk at every turnout. Most are holding some sort of camera, though it’s hard anymore to tell what’s a camera and what is not. Some people appear to be holding their high school annuals at eye level before them.

I aim my own little $3 camera at the beauty, shooting from the waist like an outlaw at high noon, but know as I’m half-trying that I can’t capture that kind of scene.

My photographer friend Kathleen McFadden could, and has. But then, she knows what she’s doing.

I rode with Kathleen one recent day on a reconnaissance mission, more of a looking than a shooting trip. We meandered from Pueblo to La Junta, making frequent stops at curbside stands selling local corn and cantaloupes and tomatoes.

It’s amazing to benefit from Kathleen’s “eye,” which is something rare. Nowadays everyone with a telephone believes himself to be a photographer. Many of us have a camera. Few of us have an eye.

Kathleen, who still shoots mostly film, by the way, will be driving along and suddenly wheel in to take a second look at a sign that says “HAY,” or a cattle chute that age has rendered interesting, or an old red chair against a decrepit white building. Then she photographs those things, the mundane things we pass by and never even notice, and spins them into fine art.

In an old depot, she notices an American flag on the other side of frosted glass. In a field, she somehow gets a white cow to turn toward her as the rest of the herd, all black, walks away. She photographs the painted word “PEACE” on the side of the barn and its reflection in a pond.

It’s not just about color, or subject matter, or even composition.

It’s an indescribable combination of all those things. “Simplicity” is her mantra. And it works, this approach of hers.

She has patience, too, and will revisit a scene till the light is right or the clouds are spectacular or the cow cooperates. With her border collie, Cutter, she stalks the elusive image.

The poet said that to show all the history of grief, use an empty doorway and a maple leaf. That’s one way of describing what Kath-

leen does. Oh, she also produces panoramic views of mountains and aspens and bridges and the sea. I prefer her simpler pictures, the ones with a cloth curtain flapping in the breeze in a seedy motel window, or a jar of zinnias on a crude table.

While we tourists are standing on the side of a road jostling for position to snap the annual show of aspens, Kathleen is light years ahead, waiting for the seasonal dust to settle. We see the forest; she sees the trees.

Attorney General Eric Holder announced he’ll resign Thursday HOLLYWOOD—Happy Tuesday, everybody, and God bless America.

Playboy rated the University of Pennsylvania America’s top party school in September’s Back to College issue by Hugh Hefner.

The students can only dream of living like he’s lived. Hugh Hefner’s problem is that when he dies, very few people will say he’s in a better place now.

New York Yankee Derek Jeter went out with a game-winning hit Thursday. He’s a living legend in New York. With a long list of beautiful girlfriends including Jessica Biels, Jessica Alba, and Scarlett Johansson, he’s easily surpassed Lou Gehrig as the luckiest man on the face of the earth.

Charlie Sheen said Tuesday he’d like to appear on the final episodes of Two and Half Men this year during its final season. The past three years since he left have worn him out. Charlie Sheen’s two nasal passages are so snotty and full of coke he’s nicknamed them the Hilton sisters.

The U.S. Census Bureau set off a firestorm Thursday when it announced that the incomes of non-citizens went up fifteen times faster than the incomes of citizens in the last year in the United States. Reaction was volcanic.

Citizens are now demanding a pathway to non-citizenship.

Paula Deen gets her own TV network and Donald Sterling gets two billion dollars.

Al Sharpton disclosed on television Friday that he’s in consultation with the White House over President Obama’s selection for the Attorney General nominee.

This should be fun. Al Sharpton is so obsessed with racial issues, he refers to teeth whitening as mouth gentrification.

The State Department urged all contending parties in the Middle East conflicts to respect each other’s sacred texts. There are three.

For Muslims, their sacred text is the Koran, for the Israelis their sacred text is the Torah and for the Americans their sacred text is the Dollar Menu.

Iraq’s prime minister warned that ISIS is planning a chemical attack on New York subways. It got a nice laugh. Terrorists once set off an ammonia bomb inside a New York subway and after the smoke cleared, passengers said the subway was cleaner and smelled fresher than it had in years.

The White House repeated no U.S. ground forces in Syria after the Pentagon said they may be

needed. Some U.S. allies bomb ISIS in Syria, some bomb ISIS only in Iraq. We finally have a name for the military campaign against ISIS, it’s called Operation Making It Up as We Go Along.

Pentagon brass told the Senate U.S. troops won’t be needed in Syria Friday but it will take a year to train Syrians and Iraqis. Air strikes are only ordered at night.

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel confirmed in his testimony Friday that we are at war with ISIS, as far as he knows.

The Economist ran a cover photo of Barack Obama wearing the same flight suit George W. Bush wore eleven years ago aboard the USS Lincoln. Let’s guess the rest.

Obama’s standing in front of that same banner, but instead of Mission Accomplished it says Muslims Accommodated.

President Obama at the U.N. Thursday offered to relieve some of the sanctions on Russia if Russia will agree to abide by international law. The sanctions are starting to hurt. Russia gained so much territory in the last year that Michelle Obama has just restricted its lunch menu.

The Hollywood Reporter revealed Friday that Sylvester Stallone has just obtained studio backing to film his sixth Rambo movie. The plot is terrific. In this movie, Rambo will wage an allout, one-man war against the Veterans Administration trying to get a medical appointment.

All-women sports show debuts with perfect timing NEW YORK (AP) — What perfect timing.

An all-women sports show premieres Tuesday night after weeks of NFL domestic violence cases dominating the headlines. Co-coordinating producer Emilie Deutsch has spent a lot of time listening to that male bastion of sports talk radio to prepare for the gig, and she marvels that “I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve heard someone say, ‘Well, I talked to my wife about this and my wife said this.’”

A core panel of a dozen female commentators will get to speak for themselves on “We Need to Talk,” which airs on cable channel CBS Sports Network. The weekly, hour-long, primetime show is the first of its kind.

To Deutsch and fellow coordinating producer Suzanne Smith, the all-women cast makes it completely different than other sports programs — yet no different at the same time.

Smith notes that “The NFL Today” studio is next door to that of “We Need to Talk,” and she believes any of her 12 commentators could comfortably slide onto that set.

“They can talk the talk,” said Smith, the only woman currently producing or directing NFL games.

But CBS wouldn’t be doing the show unless its executives believed their talk would offer a different perspective.

“They bring their experiences as young girls, women, mothers, daughters to the topics,” said Deutsch, a vice president of features and original programming.

The main panelists are a mix of veteran broadcasters and former pro athletes.

CBS is using five of its own announcers: Pro Football Hall of Fame honoree Lesley Visser; former Oakland Raiders CEO Amy Trask; sideline reporters Tracy Wolfson and Allie LaForce; and radio host Dana Jacobson. They are joined by reporter Andrea Kremer of NFL Network and HBO Sports, boxer Laila Ali, basketball stars Lisa Leslie and Swin Cash, swimmers Dara Torres and Summer Sanders, and tennis player Katrina Adams.

This is not a show specifically about women’s sports, unless they happen to be a major source of news. The

domestic violence charges against star U.S. Soccer goalie Hope Solo will likely be discussed during Tuesday’s premiere — a subject that has received plenty of mainstream media attention in the context of the NFL’s handling of the Ray Rice case.

The first two planned segments Tuesday are on the league’s response to domestic violence allegations, hardly a stretch considering that has been by far the biggest sports story of the last month. “(Viewers) are craving these women’s voices now more than ever before,” Smith said Monday.

“We Need to Talk” was announced in late August and in the works long before that. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was facing criticism at the time for handing Rice a twogame suspension, but only later did the issue become massive national news when TMZ released video of the Baltimore running back assaulting his then-fiancee.

Goodell, who had since acknowledged that the initial punishment was too lenient, suspended Rice indefinitely after the Ravens released him.

“All these things happened that totally needed a women’s perspective also,” Leslie said. “You had men addressing abuse that’s happening to a woman. What do women think?”

Leslie also thinks, though, that she brings a perspective of a hardcore fan no different from the male sports talk radio hosts she loves to listen to in the car. The passion that makes her yell at the TV and decide to attend 7 a.m. church services so she can make it home in time to watch her favorite New England Patriots.

al Initiative, only days before the baby’s arrival.

The 34-year-old Chelsea Clinton said in an interview with Glamour magazine last year that she and her husband had hoped to make 2014 “the year of the baby.”

She announced her pregnancy in April at the end of a forum in New York on female empowerment.

“I just hope I will be as good a mom to my child and, hopefully, children as my mom was to me,” she C. Clinton said at the time.

Even in her late stage of pregnancy, the younger Clinton helped preside over the family’s annual conference last week, conducting interviews on stage and announcing efforts to promote community service and stop the killing of elephants and trafficking of ivory. An advocate for elephants, she warned her child “could grow up in a planet without elephants.”

Chelsea Clinton grew up in the public eye as a teenager in the White House, later graduating from Stanford and Columbia universities. She worked in finance in New York and in public health, earning a doctorate from Oxford University.

ing a grandmother for the first time.

Bill Clinton canceled a fundraising visit Saturday to Denver for Democrats running for the Senate and governor, but he called in to an B. Clinton event for embattled Democratic Sen. Mark Udall to deliver his 11-minute speech by speakerphone.

“I hope I get an excused absence,” he told the crowd. “You all know my family just got a little bigger, and I figured I should stay home where I’m really needed.”

Clinton has been eager to become a grandfather.

During an event with former President George W. Bush in September, Clinton’s cellphone rang on stage and he joked that only two people had the number “and they are related to me,” musing that he hoped he wasn’t becoming “a premature grandfather.”

“Every day I get up and I say, ‘You have to remember whose child this is. Do not interfere. Be there when you are welcome. Be loving but not judgmental,” Clinton said to laughs in an interview with CNN at his annual Clinton Glob-

Chelsea Clinton announced the news on Twitter and Facebook early Saturday, saying she and husband Marc Mezvinsky are “full of love, awe and gratitude as we celebrate the birth of our daughter, Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky.”

The former president and first lady said in the statement on Saturday, “Chelsea is well and glowing. Marc is bursting with pride. Charlotte’s life is off to a good start.”

The baby was born at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, where the Mezvinskys live. No other details of her birth were released by the family.

The news comes as Hillary Clinton deliberates whether to run for the White House in 2016. She is the leading Democratic contender to succeed President Barack Obama, her 2008 campaign rival, and has said she expects to make a decision around the beginning of next year.

The baby has been eagerly anticipated.

Hillary Clinton has called the prospect of becoming a grandm o t h e r H. Clinton her “most exciting title yet.” She even has picked out the first book she intends to read to her grandchild, the classic “Goodnight Moon.”

She has said she didn’t want to make any decisions about another campaign until the baby’s arrival, pointing to her interest in enjoying becom-

‘Open,’ says the thief!

Dear Heloise: Our house was broken into while we were away because I left my GARAGE-DOOR OPENER in the car parked in our driveway. The intruders entered the house because we commonly leave the door between the house and the garage unlocked.

Boy, we learned our lesson! We now do not leave garage-door openers in either car, and we keep that garage door locked. Please warn your readers so this does not happen to them! — Taylor R. in Oklahoma How awful and scary! Most people do leave the opener in the auto and generally don’t have a problem. Remember to lock the vehicle doors, since a lot have the “opener” built in. It’s probably well worth the peace of mind to lock the entry door from the garage. — Heloise WATER STORAGE Dear Heloise: In a previous column, you mentioned that water should be stored away from sun or heat sources in a cool, dry place in proper foodgrade water containers. You also stated not to store water in the garage, which is where I store my emergency water.

Why did you say to avoid the

Hints from Heloise garage and storing near gasoline and other chemicals? Is there a concern that the fumes would contaminate the water?

— Ann W. in California Yes, there is, and you figured it out! If the PLASTIC containers are kept near gas and other chemicals, the chemicals may leach into the water, causing contamination, not to mention funny-tasting water, which means don’t drink it! A dark closet in the house where the temperature is constant is the right spot! — Heloise OH DEER Dear Heloise: We have deer completely wiping out our container plants. We tried fencing, sprays, human hair, you name it — they just kept feeding on my plants.

I came across the Halloween ornaments we store: some “talking” skulls, witches on motion sensors and hanging ghosts that wiggle and cry out.

They scared the deer and are a lot cheaper than the ones sold especially for deer problems.

Horoscope Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be patient with authority figures today. Some of you are almost ready to lose it today.

You don’t want to do that.

Don’t say anything you will regret later.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might encounter difficulties with people from another culture or a different background. Similarly, frustrations regarding travel, publishing, the media, medicine and the law might arise. Patience!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a poor day for disputes about shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances and anything having to do with insurance matters. Because these disputes could be nasty, sidestep them if you can.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is not a good day to have an important discussion with a partner or close friend. People quickly go on the defensive.

Choose another day. Chill out.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Although you might have great ideas about introducing reforms and improvements to where you work, don’t do it today. People will take offense.

Timing is everything.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Parents need to be patient with children today in order to avoid hissy fits and meltdowns. It’s just what it is. Similarly, be patient with romantic partners to avoid a scene.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is not an ideal day for important family discussions, because people will express their feelings strongly! It’s better to discuss matters when calmer minds can prevail.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You will be convincing if you have to write, sell, market, teach, act or communicate your wishes to others today. In fact, they might feel intimidated because you are so strong and forthright.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might feel obsessed with getting your way with a financial deal today. Similarly, you might be obsessed about wanting to buy something. Just cool it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Relations with females will be intense today. You might have an idea in your mind that you just can’t let go of. (Try to

lighten up.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Something hidden behind the scenes might upset you today, but you probably won’t say anything. This is just as well, because arguments can be nasty today.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You will have a powerful discussion with someone today, probably a female. It’s almost as if you attract powerful people to you. Oy! Be polite.

YOU BORN TODAY You take a long-range look at life, and

you prepare for it. You like to involve yourself with capable, accomplished people. You are both dedicated and dignified.

This year, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for something new. Take it easy and learn to serve others. This is a good year to travel.

National Digest

Chiefs in rout KANSAS CITY — The Kansas City Chiefs dominated from start to finish in a 41-14 blowout win over the New England Patriots on Monday evening.

Jamaal Charles rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown while catching two more touchdown passes. Knile Davis added 107 yards on the ground.

Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith also had a great game, completing 20 of 26 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns.

The Chiefs also intercepted Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who was replaced in the fourth quarter, twice. He was also sacked twice.

The Chiefs led 17-0 at halftime. Charles had a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown while Cairo Santos made a 22-yard field goal as time expired in the half.

Both teams are now 2-2.

The Southwestern volleyball team was five points from a sweep of two matches here Monday night.

The Spartans dispatched one Graceland University JV squad in their opening match, 25-17, 25-21. It was a much needed win as the Spartans improved to 4-16 overall.

In the second match against a different Yellowjacket JV squad, SWCC moved to a 1-0 lead with a 25-21 set. Then Graceland pulled out a tight one, 25-23.

In the third-set tiebreaker to 15 points, the Spartans seemed to be in a solid position to finish it off with a 10-4 lead on a five-point service string by freshman Carmen Subbert of Stanton.

Then Katie Valdez of Graceland went on a similar run, serving the Yellowjackets to within one at 10-9.

Sara Haberthier served an ace for Graceland to forge an 11-11 tie.

Subbert’s kill put the Spartans in front 12-11.

Graceland then secured a 13-12 edge, but Southwestern tied it again on a deftly-placed dump by setter Bailey Preston.

Graceland finished off the 15-13 win on a tip by Jashira Rivera and an attack by SWCC that went just past the end line.

Still, going into action Friday at Council Bluffs against two nationally-ranked teams, including the NJCAA Division I top-ranked team (Iowa Western), it was a confidence-building night for the Spartans.

“The first match we had really good serving, probably our best of the year,” said SWCC coach Ting Liu. “Everybody also had good hitting.”

Madison Walston of Bedford and Erin Coker of Cedar Rapids had seven kills each to lead the all-freshman Spartan team, after sophomore defensive specialist Kirsten Anderson recently dropped from the squad. Subbert added six kills in that 2-0 win.

Panther JV wins tourney; freshmen take third

Gardenhire out MINNEAPOLIS — After 13 seasons, Ron Gardenhire is out as manager of the Minnesota Twins. He had one year remaining on his contract.

Gardenhire took the helm in 2002, leading the Twins to six American League Central Division titles. He compiled a record of 1,068-1,049 (.507), trailing only Tom Kelly on the Twins’ all-time managerial wins list. In the postseason, Gardenhire went 6-21, advancing out of the first round once during his tenure.

Since 2011, Gardenhire and the Twins have lost at least 92 games each season. He’s only the fourth manager in Major League Baseball history to lose 90 games or more for four straight seasons with the same team.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.

In Anderson’s absence, Brusha Cobbs of Omaha North has moved from outside hitter to defensive specialist.
