Hatch Hobbs: The intimidating campaign force with a big heart not running TV ads

Editor’s note: This is the first in a two-part series on 2014 inductees into the Creston Community Schools Hall of Fame at 12.15 p.m. Friday in the CHS auditorium.

DES MOINES (AP) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jack Hatch isn’t running any television ads in Iowa, but an aide insisted Tuesday that it isn’t a sign the campaign has run out of money.

After Gov. Terry Branstad’s campaign issued a news release about Hatch ads going off the air, Hatch campaign manager Grant Woodard acknowledged the campaign wasn’t currently running any TV ads and hadn’t reserved any future airtime.

The campaign ran television ads from Sept. 9 through Monday, and Woodard said the campaign will Hatch air ads again before Election Day. “We’re just trying to be as judicious with our resources as we can be,” Woodard said.

Branstad campaign manager Jake Ketzner said the 67-year-old governor, who is running for a sixth

e was tall, having been a record-setting basketball player at Peru State in his native state of Nebraska.

He had a booming authoritative voice, and a confident walk. And a big personality to match.

“Everybody knew what Russell Hobbs stood for,” said Jan Lesan, longtime Creston Middle School staff member, who grew up as a student in Creston Junior High during the “Hobbs era” as principal of the school.

Russell and wife Betty Hobbs were both legendary educators in Creston, Betty as a fourth-grade teacher and Russell as middle school principal. Both served in those posts for 40 years.

On Friday, the late Russell Hobbs will be inducted into Creston Community Schools Hall of Fame during ceremonies at 12:15 p.m. in the CHS auditorium in conjunction with the homecoming queen coronation. A family member will formally accept Hobbs’ induction into the Hall of Fame.

“He was a friend who cared enough for his students to discipline them and direct them to do the right thing,” said Don Collings of Washington, a former student who wrote one of many online condolences after

Above right is Hobbs shortly after retirement. Hobbs served as a school administrator in Creston for 40 years.

Hobbs’ death in April 2012.

Hobbs broke the school basketball scoring record at Peru State in 1941 and served in the United States Army until his discharge in 1943. He married Betty Doolittle in Papillion, Neb., in 1942 and taught and coached at Kelly High School and Coon Rapids High School until beginning a 40-year career as principal at Creston Junior High in 1946.

Taskmaster Burton R. Jones, who would later become the namesake of the junior high, was superintendent at the time, and was looking for something in hiring Hobbs.

“When he arrived here, the major impression he got from Burton R. Jones was that he felt there had been a lack of discipline in the junior high,” said Ron Levine,

an administrator in Creston from 1968 to 1992, as high school principal nearly all of that time.

“Mr. Jones wanted discipline in those grades. That probably was the first thing he wanted done,” Levine said. “I think that influenced Russell.”

Away from school, Levine described Hobbs as “a complicated man, almost meek,” but on the job at school he was clearly in charge. Over time, he became legendary.

“To be a junior high principal in the same school for 40 years, I would almost think that would have to be a state record,” Levine said.

Former students and staff members describe Hobbs as a stickler for manners, tradition and “proper presentation” of themselves at school. Boys were required to wear belts, girls had to wear skirts, not pants. Shirts were tucked in. You walked single file down the hallway.

One of Levine’s sons learned that rule very quickly, being called out by Hobbs’ booming voice when he crossed the hallway while walking to stop at the drinking fountain. In Hobbs’ hallways, you stayed in your

lane, literally.

“Oh yeah,” said longtime Creston sixth-grade teacher Gary Veitz, a student under Hobbs’ junior high leadership. “When you went down the hall, your arm brushed the side of the wall. It had to be single file.”

Veitz was asked what he thought of when the topic of Mr. Hobbs was brought up.

“Fear!” he answered instantly. “And respect. If you did what you were supposed to do, he was fine. If you didn’t, you knew you screwed up, because he’d let you know it. You knew the rules, and you respected them. He had the support of the parents, too.”

In the online tributes, Lynn Woosley of Richardson, Texas, said even the kids who crossed the line, and paid for it, felt respect for Hobbs eventually.

“I think even the kids who were always in trouble grew to really respect Mr. Hobbs later in their lives,” Woosley said. “Russell was stern when needed, but he also had a great sense of humor.

I remember talking to him

Chris Christie to campaign in Iowa this week DES MOINES (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will appear in Iowa this week at a campaign event with Gov. Terry Branstad and congressional candidate Rod Blum.

Branstad’s campaign says Christie will speak at a rally in Cedar Rapids on Friday.

Branstad is running for a sixth non-consecutive term. Recent polls have showed him with a sizable lead against Democratic opponent Jack Hatch.

Blum is running in the state’s 1st Congressional District against Democrat Pat Murphy. The seat is open because Democratic U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley is running for Senate.

Christie, chairman of the Republican Governors Association, is also scheduled to headline Branstad’s birthday fundraiser in late October. He made a July visit to Iowa, sparking speculation about his presidential aspirations.

Report: Midwest economic growth slower OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The economy will likely grow more slowly this fall in nine Midwestern and Plains states, according to a monthly survey of business leaders released Wednesday.

The region’s overall economic index dropped nearly three points in September, to 54.3, from 57.2 the previous month.

“A 30 percent decline in grain prices over the past year has produced a pullback in economic activity for regional businesses

linked to agriculture,” said Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey.

The survey results from supply managers are compiled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100.

Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests economic growth, while a score below that suggests decline.

The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Okla-

Survey respondents remain fairly optimistic, with the confidence index declining slightly, from 60.4 in August to 59.6 in September.

The delivery lead time index, which hit a three-year high of 60.6 in August, remained high in September, at 59. Goss said 41 percent of businesses reported having difficulty getting supplies and raw materials delivered on time.

supply managers are having increasing difficulty in obtaining timely delivery of raw materials and supplies,” Goss said.

The employment index climbed into positive territory, from 48.7 in August to 53.5 in September, suggesting modest job growth ahead.

The prices-paid index, which tracks the cost of raw materials and supplies, declined, from 66.7 in August to 60.1 in September.

The other components of the overall September index were:

— The inventory index decreased to 52 in September, from August’s 57.9.

— The export order index also declined to 53.2, from August’s 59.8.

— The import index increased slightly in September to 52.8, from 51.8.

— New orders fell to 52.9 last month, from August’s 58.1.

— Production or sales decreased to 54.3 in September, from 60.7.

at Hardee’s one evening when he said, ‘If I were still a principal they would have me in jail most of the time.’

I was also one of the lucky ones to have Betty Hobbs as my fourth grade teacher. I admire and have the utmost respect for Russell and Betty for everything they have done for Creston and the lives they touched.”

Colleagues

Dave Rissler was a junior and high school band instructor in Creston from 1953 to 1993. His longest stints were at the junior high, and he worked under Hobbs for many of those years.

“Russell was a very strict disciplinarian,” Rissler said. “He could raise his voice. In the early years he probably used the paddle some, too. I remember one thing he would do that I liked was if a kid was a discipline problem and had done something, he’d have him down in the office and make him call his mom and tell her what he’d done.

That was very effective. Of course, he had the parents on his side then. That has definitely changed some.”

“To be reprimanded by Mr. Hobbs, some of those kids as they got older kind of took that like a badge of honor,” said Levine, laughing. “He probably did some things you couldn’t get away with now. But really, it was more the threat of it, and the tone of his voice.”

Laura Ide Hartman of Creston expressed some of those sentiments, even

“He would buy things they (students) needed. A kid needed some pants, and he got them. He bought a lot of lunches. He’d take kids out to work for him and give them money for it. Not many people knew that, except the kids that he helped.”

— Jan Lesan

longtime Creston Middle School staff member

though she admits she was not in Hobbs’ doghouse.

“I was a pretty well-behaved student in junior high, but that didn’t stop me from being totally and completely scared of Mr. Hobbs ... in a good way,” she said. “Probably what I would refer to as a healthy respect of him now. He was fair, he was consistent and he was a model for all of us.

I will never forget him.”

Softer side Hobbs paid attention to more than just the troublemakers.

“He paid attention to kids as he walked the hallways,” said Lesan, hired

by Hobbs for her first job in education at the junior high. “He knew if you’d done something good in your classes. He’d ask about your family. He was interested in a lot of things.”

Veitz was junior high wrestling coach for several years. At most home meets, Hobbs was matside, watching his students perform.

“He’d be down there sitting and watching the kids,” Veitz said. “He cared about the kids. He had this rough persona, but there was a softer side to him.”

Government confirms first case of Auditions Ebola in U.S. planned for madrigal dinner DALLAS (AP) — The first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S. was confirmed Tuesday in a patient who recently traveled from Liberia to Dallas — a sign of the far-reaching impact of the out-of-control epidemic in West Africa.

The unidentified man was critically ill and has been in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital since Sunday, federal health officials said. They would not reveal his nationality or age.

Authorities have begun tracking down family, friends and anyone else who may have come in close contact with him and could be at risk for becoming ill.

But officials said there are no other suspected cases in Texas.

At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Director Tom Frieden said the man left Liberia on Sept. 19, arrived the next day to visit relatives and started feeling ill four or five days later. He said it was not clear how the patient became infected.

There was no risk to any fellow airline passengers because the man had no

symptoms when he was traveling, Frieden said.

Ebola symptoms can include fever, muscle pain, vomiting and bleeding, and can appear as long as 21 days after exposure to the virus. The disease is not contagious until symptoms begin, and it takes close contact with bodily fluids to spread.

“I have no doubt that we’ll stop this in its tracks in the U.S. But I also have no doubt, that as long as the outbreak continues in Africa, we need to be on our guard,” Frieden told reporters.

“It is certainly possible that someone who had contact with this individual, a family member or other individual, could develop Ebola in the coming weeks,” he added. “But there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here.”

He said he didn’t believe anyone on the same flights as the patient was at risk.

“Ebola doesn’t spread before someone gets sick and he didn’t get sick until four days after he got off the airplane,” Frieden said.

CORNING — The first Corning Opera House Cultural Center madrigal dinner will be Dec. 6 and 7.

Performances will include a full sit-down dinner, Renaissance madrigal music by costumed singers and acting entertainment from performers of the time.

Auditions will be 7 to 9 p.m. Oct. 12-14 at Corning Opera House, 800 Davis Ave., Corning. Enter through the front door and proceed up the stairs.

Interested people should attend, fill out an information sheet to express areas of expertise

and then expect to sing and read from the script.

Available parts include, but are not limited to, the king, queen and royal court, jester, mertonsire, town crier, singers and or soloists, as well as assorted shire folk and buffoons.

If you are unable to attend but are interested in performing, costumes, props or have any other questions or comments, contact Corning Opera House at corning.oh@ gmail.com or 641-4188037. For more opera house information follow it on Facebook or check out www.corningoperahouse.com.

Lesan got emotional as she related some of the examples she knew of, when Hobbs would step in and help kids in need.

Sometimes it involved doing work on his property where he maintained horses. He and Betty were frequent attendees at horse shows around the Midwest.

“He would buy things they needed,” Lesan said.

“A kid needed some pants, and he got them. He bought a lot of lunches. He’d take kids out to work for him and give them money for it. Not many people knew that, except the kids that he helped.”

“I know there were times that if a kid needed a haircut, he’d take him down to pay for the haircut,” Rissler recalled. “He always required a belt, and would buy a kid a belt if he didn’t have one. Without any recognition.”

Role model Veitz and Lesan are just two of the many educators who drew on their experiences with Hobbs when they entered the profession.

“You have to command a certain amount of respect,” Veitz said. “I’ve been in it long enough that I have a lot of kids whose parents

I also had. Same with Mr. Hobbs, all the younger brothers and sisters knew about him before they got into school. His reputation was already established.”

“Mr. and Mrs. Hobbs, along with Mr. Jessen (CHS principal) were major influences in my decision to become a teacher and then a principal,” said Larry Bakerink of Lawrence, Kan. “Their names came up frequently as I interacted with students, parents and staff members during my 42 years as an educator.”

Sharing an interest in horses and dogs, and becoming a family friend, Lesan assisted the Hobbs later in their lives as they had no children of their own. Both were in their 90s at the time of their death.

Betty Hobbs died last Aug. 7.

They each left a legacy that had a foundation of respect.

“I’ve heard some of those kids, who said they hated him while they were in school, have nothing but good things to say about him when they got out and realized where he was coming from,” Rissler said.

“He was an icon in this community,” Veitz said.

“People respected him.”

non-consecutive term, is airing ads statewide and even in Quincy, Illinois, which reaches into the state’s southeast corner.

“It’s devastating news for his campaign that just 35 days out his campaign is essentially broke,” Ketzner said about Hatch. “If he

can’t manage his campaign checkbook, how can he manage the state’s checkbook?”

Campaign financial reports show Hatch’s campaign had $183,000 in cash on hand in July, the most recent reporting period for which records are available.

Branstad’s committee had $4 million.

OPINION

Planning for the future while trying to live in the present Many afternoons at the office managing editor Kyle Wilson and I spend a few moments analyzing how the day went, what is coming up the rest of the week and what is going on in our personal lives.

We tend to be very critical of ourselves, which has helped me stay on edge to do a better job each morning at the newspaper.

It also gives me a reality check in my personal life.

These past two weeks have felt like I have been moving around at 100 mph. Alabama described it best with their song lyrics “Oh I rush and rush until life’s no fun.”

A recent topic we have contem-

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham associate editor

plated has been about planning for our financial future.

Kyle is at a much different stage of life than I am and has to think about the future of his little girl Harper and his wife Stormy.

He is thinking about their home, cars, another college education to pay for and the everyday expenses of life.

My major focus right now is rebounding from the cost of college. I was lucky in the fact that I was able to find a job soon after graduation and string together opportunities to maximize my time in Creston.

I also have those everyday expenditures with food, fun with friends and flowers for when I make a mistake or want to surprise my girlfriend Pam. But that college debt is constantly at the back of my mind.

I want to go back and further my education, but first I want to at least be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel to pay off my first two degrees.

I sat down and talked with third party candidate Jonathan Narcisse this past week. He knows he can’t compete with Gov. Terry Banstad and his opponent Jack Hatch.

Honestly, some of his policies wouldn’t stand a chance either, but they are interesting in theory. We spend a large part of our discussion on education.

Narcisse is concerned with the brain drain in Iowa and the state investing 13 years in a student only to have them leave the state.

His answer is to pay for kids to go to state school and in return, the student has to agree to work in the state for every year of school the

state pays for plus 40 hours of community service.

This would keep young professionals out of debt, keep them in the state for at least four years and help beautify the state with so many more volunteer hours.

The idea is nice, but almost impossible to implement in my opinion. It would take a lot of negotiation to even get schools to start considering those types of breaks.

While I keep chipping away at the debt, I hope there is a realistic answer out there so little Harper doesn’t have to spend her afternoons budgeting and discussing tips like her father and I do.

Joe Biden apologized for referring to loan companies as Shylocks in an Iowa speech

HOLLYWOOD — Happy Wednesday, everybody, and God bless America.

Scots went to the polls Thursday to vote whether Scotland will separate from the United Kingdom after three hundred years. This won’t be the last time. Three hundred years from now the Iraqis will go to the polls to decide whether Iraq should separate from the United States.

The White House endorsed a proposal Wednesday to require every policeman in America to wear a mini-camera on their lapel while they’re on duty. Every arrest would be recorded on tape.

The idea’s being sold as a way for Americans to keep up with their favorite NFL players.

Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer was arrested in Phoenix Wednesday for assaulting a woman and a child. It’s the NFL’s fifth spousal abuse and second chold abuse arrest in a month.

This leads every American to conclude that Pete Rose isn’t that bad a person.

South Africa Olympic star Oscar Pistorious was cleared by his judge to run professionally until his sentencing date in two months for his manslaughter conviction in the shooting death of his fiancee.

It shows nature abhors a vacuum.

He’s just been signed by the Minnesota Vikings.

President Obama is sending three thousand U.S. troops to Africa to battle Ebola Friday. He needs to spend less time in Los Angeles. Sending three thousand soldiers to Africa battle a deadly virus that may mutate and destroy mankind isn’t a military operation, it’s a movie pitch.

Peter Fonda will auction the Harley Davidson he rode while

starring in the movie Easy Rider in the late Sixties. You just had to be there. Hippies believed that if everyone smoked a joint at the same time, we’d have world peace for an hour, followed by a global foot shortage.

The House voted to arm Syria’s rebels to fight against ISIS and to find and kill ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. We’ve tracked these terrorists down before. It took trillions of dollars, thousands killed and state of the art technology but the U.S. finally found bin Laden, in his house.

Joan Rivers’ ENT doctor took a selfie while the patient was under anesthesia during an unauthorized biopsy during her fatal surgery. It cut off Joan’s oxygen causing her heart to go into arrest. It happened at New York’s Endoscopy Center, make that The Melissa Rivers Hospital.

Joe Biden apologized for referring to loan companies as Shylocks in an Iowa speech and was quickly forgiven by the Anti-Defamation League. We owe him. Back when Americans were too scared of being labeled a racist to tell Obama jokes, Joe Biden was always there for us.

The U.S. Senate dragged Sectretary of State John Kerry through the wringer over whether the U.S. is at war. Last week he said the U.S. isn’t at war with ISIS and the next day he admitted we are. John Kerry told the Senate it doesn’t matter, it just feels great to be flip-flopping again.

Walk for hunger From John Schlaht, co-chairperson, Union County CROP Hunger Walk Creston

$10,000. That’s the goal for the Union County CROP Hunger Walk to be held Sunday, Oct. 5.

That might seem like a lofty goal, but it’s only $500 more than walkers raised last year.

Please consider this: Worldwide, one-half of all deaths of children under the age of 5 are caused by malnutrition. Each year one billion people lack access to safe drinking water. Also, 2.1 million die each year from impure water.

That’s why I walk. That’s why all those who can should walk in this year’s event.

Not only would I like contribu-

tions to break last year’s record, but I would like to see the number of walkers soar. I would like to see the gazebo (where the walk begins) near the Greater Regional Medical Center swarm with walkers – everyone giving monetarily or bringing canned goods for the MATURA Food Pantry here in Creston. What a wonderful sight that would be – so many people supporting the fight against hunger all over the world.

Registration for the walk is set for 2:30 p.m.; the walk begins at 3 p.m.

CROP began in 1947 to help Europeans and Asians recover from World War II. It has evolved over the years from CROP standing for Christian Rural Overseas Program to Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty.

No longer focusing on only rural areas, CROP feeds the hungry everywhere and provides sustainable access to good nutritious food and provides clean water sources.

In addition, people are given the tools they need to help themselves by establishing community gardens, learning growing techniques, and teaching people how to be self-sufficient.

Twenty-five percent of whatever we raise comes back to Union County to help our residents in need. Volunteers will be at HyVee and Fareway all day Saturday to accept monetary donations and non-perishable food items and toiletries.

The need is great. Please contribute on Saturday or join us for the walk on Sunday.

Classroom success begins with Nutritious dairy foods give kids an essential boost (Family Features) Dairy and breakfast go hand in hand.

With so many types of milk, cheeses and yogurts available, it’s easy to find breakfast combinations that set the curve for success as the kids head back to school this fall.

Children who eat a morning meal perform better in the classroom and have better overall nutrition. Research shows that kids who eat breakfast have better memory, attention and behavior, and score higher on tests.

In addition to the wide variety of dairy foods that make school day breakfasts easy, dairy also gets an A-plus for nutritional and economic value. Dairy delivers a unique package of nine essential nutrients in a variety of tasty and affordable options. For example, one 8-ounce glass of milk delivers calcium, potassium and vitamin D and costs only about 25 cents.

Recognizing the important role breakfast and dairy foods play for school children and their success in the classroom, dairy farmers and milk processors nationwide have organized the Great American Milk Drive, a Feeding America program to deliver gallons of milk to hungry families who need it most. To donate, text “Milk” to 27722 or visit milklife.com/give.

Meanwhile, to boost breakfast success for your family this school year, consider these tips: • Keep breakfast foods on hand such as ready-to-eat cereals, yogurts, white and flavored milks, and fruit.

• Build a breakfast burrito bar. Prepare toppings such as shredded cheese, diced ham, tomatoes and olives the night before. In the morning, just scramble eggs, warm tortillas and fill with your favorite toppings.

• Save money on dairy foods by buying milk by the gallon, cheese in block form and shredding it yourself, and plain, low-fat yogurt by the quart and stirring in your own flavorings, such as honey or fresh fruit.

• Whip up a yogurt smoothie or build a yogurt parfait, such as this recipe for a Fruit Salsa Yogurt Parfait provided by the Midwest Dairy Council. Or, bring more smiles to the table with the Fruity Splash Smoothie.

Find more kid-friendly breakfast nutrition tips and recipes at www.DairyMakesSense.com.

Fruit Salsa Yogurt Parfait Servings: 8 Prep time: 15 minutes 1 can (15 ounces) peach slices in juice 1 can (8 ounces) pineapple chunks in juice 2 peeled and chopped kiwis 1 cup chopped strawberries 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4teaspoon ground ginger 1 carton (32 ounces) non-fat vanilla yogurt Drain peach slices, discarding juice. Drain pineapple chunks, reserving juice. Chop peaches and pineapple.

Toss peaches, pineapple, kiwi, strawberries, brown sugar, spices and reserved pineapple juice in medium bowl.

Vinegar dispenses a clean solution Dear Heloise: I’m wondering if you have a cleaning hint for the ICE/WATER DISPENSER on my refrigerator.

I love the convenience, but am concerned how to clean the dispenser and keep it sanitary, particularly the tip of the dispenser. — Jan H. in San Antonio Very good question, and one many may not even have considered! Check the manual (or go online for help) for your refrigerator before doing anything. Then, grab one of my all-time favorite products — vinegar! Heat some white or apple-cider vinegar until warm (NOT boiling) and wipe down the outer ice/ water dispenser surface.

Next, clean the dispenser water tip by using a small brush and vinegar to poke up in there, and wipe inside and outside.

For deeper cleaning, turn off the water and disconnect the water supply line. Pour a couple of cups of vinegar (unheated) into the line and let the vinegar flow through the system. Then flush with water several times, and throw out the first couple of batches of ice until the vinegar smell is gone. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000

my Mexican food. — Heloise PANINI WITHOUT THE PRESS! Dear Heloise: I love paninis, but cannot afford an expensive machine. I make them by cooking in a pan using my heavy, small cast-iron pan as a press on top. Granted, I don’t get the beautiful grill marks, but the sandwiches are just as great-tasting! — Eva W. in Nevada Brilliant! The same taste without the expensive machine! — Heloise NO MESS! Dear Heloise: To encourage and remind your kids to use a cover in the microwave for whatever they are warming, I keep a paper plate inside the microwave. They see the paper plate and use it to keep splatters to a minimum. — Nancy K. in Indiana BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker BANANA HINTS Dear Heloise: Purchase a weekly supply of bananas when they are partly green and turning yellow. Leave the amount of bananas you will eat in three days out on the counter and put the rest in the refrigerator. The remaining bananas should keep for six to seven days. The skin may turn dark, but the inside is perfect.

Added sugars and fats add calories, but the food or drink really contains very little or NO nutrients at all, meaning calories that don’t add a darn good thing to your diet.

You can make a simple change here and there to avoid unwanted calories.

Horoscope Thursday, Oct. 2, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Ex-partners will be back in your life at some point this month.

Consider this an opportunity for closure or clarity (or none of the above).

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Grin and bear it, because your efficiency will suffer at work this month. Expect delays, cancellations and confused communication. It’s a good time to finish old projects.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your ruler, Mercury, is stirring up problems for the month of October. Many of you will run into old flames and past situations related to sports, the arts and children.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Family reunions are likely this month, because for some reason, you will be in contact with relatives you have not seen for a long time. Stock the fridge.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Expect transportation delays this month. Missed buses and trains, as well as breakdowns for trucks, automobiles and bikes, are par for the course.

Good luck!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) This is a bad month to open a new business or initiate anything related to earnings, money and cash flow.

However, it’s a good time to finish previous financial projects.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Brace yourself for a month of silly errors and mixed-up communication, as well as all kinds of people popping up from your past. It’s Old Home Week again.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Different situations might provoke a lot of thought on your part; you’re wondering about what you really want and what you really have. The disparity between those two affects your happiness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Friends from the past will be back in your life this month. This might help you to look at your future goals with a new eye.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Many of you will encounter parents, bosses, teachers and authority figures whom you have not seen for a while. This might be your chance to put your cards on the table.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) Travel plans might be delayed or rescheduled this month. However, this will be an excellent time to finish old school projects or important papers or even a book. Yay! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Although this month is a poor time to initiate things, it’s a great time to finish anything, especially disputes about inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. Go to it!

YOU BORN TODAY You are candid, clever and sometimes blunt with your words.

However, you get away with a lot because you are so charming and witty! You are interested in society and shaping people’s thoughts, especially with the idea of making the world a better place. This year is the beginning of a fresh, new nine-year cycle for you. Open any door! Start a new business activity.

The number of days between postseason wins for the Kansas City Royals, which defeated Oakland 9-8 Tuesday night.

National Digest

Royals advance KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Back in the playoffs after 29 years, the Kansas City Royals ran wild and outlasted Oakland in a thrilling opener to baseball’s postseason.

Salvador Perez singled home the winning run with two outs in the 12th inning, capping two late comebacks that gave Kansas City a 9-8 victory Tuesday night in the AL wild-card game.

Quite a start to October baseball — even if this one appeared to be over with plenty of time to spare in September.

But in a back-and-forth epic that lasted 4 hours, 45 minutes, the A’s lost their seventh straight winner-take-all playoff game since 2000.

It was the final collapse in a season that looked so promising this summer.

“This will go down as the craziest game I’ve ever played,” said Eric Hosmer, who sparked the final Royals rally with a one-out triple. “This team showed a lot of character. No one believed in us before the game. No one believed in us before the season.”

Making their first postseason appearance since winning the 1985 World Series, the Royals are sticking around. They’ll open their best-of-five AL Division Series on the road Thursday night against the AL West champion Los Angeles Angels.

After falling behind by four runs, the Royals raced back with their speed on the bases -they led the majors with 153 steals this season.

Kansas City swiped seven bags in this one to tie a postseason record previously shared by the 1907 Chicago Cubs and 1975 Cincinnati Reds, according to STATS. The biggest one came in the 12th.

Hosmer scored the tying run on a high chopper to third by rookie Christian Colon, who reached safely on the infield single and then stole second with two outs.

Perez, who was 0 for 5 after squandering two late chances to drive in key runs, reached out and pulled a one-hopper past diving third baseman Josh Donaldson. Colon scored easily, and the Royals rushed out of the dugout for a mad celebration.

Titans hand Panthers first conference loss, 3-1 LC rallies from 1-0 deficit in battle of rated 4A squads

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

ATLANTIC — Creston’s attempt to break through with another big Hawkeye 10 volleyball win against one of the traditional powers fell flat in a quiet Atlantic High School gymnasium Tuesday night, where neither team had a home student crowd.

Lewis Central, ranked 15th in Class 4A, rebounded from a mistake-filled opening set to defeat 11thranked Creston, 20-25, 2624, 25-20, 25-14. The Panthers had previously won a pair of big road matches, 3-2, after falling behind 2-0 against Council Bluffs St. Albert and Carroll Kuemper Catholic.

Creston, now 14-3 overall and 5-1 in Hawkeye 10 play, was serving set point with a 24-21 lead in the second set, on the verge of going up 2-0.

Instead, the Titans scored five unanswered points to take the set 26-24 and even the match at 1-1.

The Titans requested to have the match moved from a home match Thursday to a preliminary match to Tuesday’s match at Atlantic, to alleviate a scheduling conflict. LC followed up with a win over host Atlantic to improve to 3-2 in league play and 15-9 overall.

Between the two matches, LC coach Dennis South was pleased with how his team responded after looking sluggish in the opening set.

“This is a big win for us, both in the conference and for the ratings,” said South,

Creston’s Brenna Baker (left) communicates with teammate Haylee LaMasters in receiving a Lewis Central serve during Tuesday’s Hawkeye 10 match in Atlantic. The Panthers lost three straight games after taking the opener in the battle of state-ranked teams.

noting that a ratings swing with the Panthers could be important when regional home assignments are set by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union.

South said the Titans were not playing anything close to state-ratings caliber in the first set, when Creston’s Hanna Luther served the Panthers out to a 9-1 lead in the 25-20 Panther win.

“We came in kind of lackadaisical,” South said. “We

didn’t play very well in that first game. Too many balls hit into the net, a lot of balls out. Part of the problem was ball control. We didn’t have good ball control until about the final 10 points of the second game.”

That triggered the powerful Titan attack that featured 5-11 right side hitter Reghan Coyle, and 6-foot outside hitter Abigail Bergsten. Coyle had 17 kills and Bergsten notched 16, while

ORIENT — The Creston Panthers won every individual race here Monday at the Orient-Macksburg Invite, and the Panther girls claimed the varsity team title.

But Nodaway Valley’s “Black Plague” dominated the boys team competition, winning with 25 points, finishing 73 points ahead of second-place Creston, de-

spite Cooper McDermott and Jay Wolfe finishing first and second for the Panthers.

The girls race featured a battle of three strong area runners at the front of the pack.

Creston senior Maria Mostek, ranked 22nd in Class 3A, led from start to finish, holding off a late charge Mostek

Phelps arrested BALTIMORE — Police arrested Olympic swimming great Michael Phelps on a DUI charge early Tuesday, and officials say he was speeding and failed field sobriety tests when officers pulled him over.

Phelps was charged with driving under the influence, excessive speed and crossing double-lane lines in the Fort McHenry Tunnel on Interstate 95 in Baltimore, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority.

Phelps, 29, acknowledged the arrest and issued an apology in a statement released Tuesday afternoon.

“She’s (Mostek) on a mission,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “She set the pace. There’s three girls ranked in the state in the top four of that meet. That was a competitive race.”

East Union and Creston each had a second top-10 finisher, as East Union’s Alyssa Proffitt finished ninth in 17:57 and Creston sophomore Lexie Little took 10th in 18:00.

But Creston put all five scorers in the top 18 of the meet, with all seven varsity runners in the top 25, cruising to the team title.

The Panthers scored 55 points, finishing 22 points ahead of runner-up West Central Valley.

Madison Hance finished 11th in 18:08, followed by Jessica Beatty in 15th place.

Raegen Smith rounded out the team scoring with her 18th-place finish.

“Our second and third girls were within 1:30 of Maria,” Schlapia said. “This is Lexie Little’s best race of her young career, with Madison Hance not far back.

Getting five in the top 20, that was key. For that O-M course, getting under 19 minutes, that’s a very nice time for them. A good team win for the girls.”

“We started to run our offense,” South said. “We were able to hit shots to where they weren’t blocking. That’s what our offense does. It spreads them out, so they don’t know where it’s going.”

Spartan harriers compete in large field at Brissman/Lundeen Invite

CNA photo by JAKE WADDINGHAM

Freshman Brooke Lindgren looks to make a pass at the halfway point of the women’s 6K race in Rock Island, Ill., on Saturday. About 500 female runners started the race at the Brissman/Lundeen Invitational.

CNA associate editor • jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

ROCK ISLAND, Ill. — Southwestern Community College head coach Bill Huntington said the Southwestern Community College cross country team will be switching into a new gear at practice this week.

The Spartans are coming off their sixth straight week of racing after competing at the Brissman/Lundeen Cross Country Invitational hosted by Augustana University here Saturday.

“This race was very similar to the caliber and size we will be up against at the national championship race in Lubbock, Texas, in five weeks,” Huntington said.

“It was a great way to gain some racing experience and feel what it is like to be surrounded by hundreds of other runners on the same course.”

The Spartan men finished 31st out of 38 full teams in a field that was dominated by four-year

institutions. More than 500 runners started the men’s 8K course.

Sophomore Ben Friederichs improved his personal best for the second week in a row, running 28:04. Teammate Aaron Ward was the second Spartan across the finish line in 28:18.

Also scoring for the Spartans were Philip Sciranko, Ovan Garcia and Eric Ikundiro.

“I thought we ran well, but not to the best of our ability,” Huntington said.

“I was very proud of the effort, but the focus at practice the rest of the season is switching from endurance workouts to speed.”

Huntington added the focus is to run their best races at the end of October and feels like both the men and women are in a position to do just that.

For the women, Brooke Lindgren set the pace on the 6K course with a finishing time of 29:05.

followed in 31 minutes. Gabby DuBois, Kylie Bidrowski and Rachel Flickinger rounded out the scoring for the Spartans.

The women’s field had just under 500 individuals at the starting line.

“I think the ladies gained a lot racing in such a big field, especially how to control their race instead of getting pulled out too fast by a talented field,” Huntington said. “They are strong, and I believe they have a huge upside when they race at the 5K distance.”

Middle school cross country The Spartan women held off Indian Hills Community College in the team standings and closed the gap on Scott Community College.

“On Monday, we had a great group long run at Green Valley Lake and we are looking at Wednesday as an intense speed day,” Huntington said. “With no race this weekend, it will be a great chance to get some of those mid-season aches under control and fine tune our goals for the end of the season.”

Lack of running game slows Iowa State

By CHUCK SCHOFFNER

Associated Press

AMES (AP) — Iowa State has veterans on the offensive line, experienced running backs, and a quarterback who has been around.

In other words, all the ingredients a team needs for a strong running game.

Except it’s not happening.

The Cyclones are last in the Big 12 and 110th out of 125 teams nationally in rushing.

They are averaging only 104 yards a game and 3.4 yards a carry. Quarterback Sam Richardson has the team’s longest run (47 yards) and he is also the leading rusher, with more yards than all the running backs combined.

As coach Paul Rhoads put it: “There is no running attack.”

“You’ve got to run the football and you’ve got to defend the run if you want to be successful,” Rhoads said Monday “We’re not even scratching

the surface at doing that.”

Running backs Aaron Wimberly and DeVondrick Nealy have barely dented opposing defenses. In 65 carries between them, they have accounted for a mere 185 yards, or 2.8 per play. Their longest run has been Wimberly’s 16-yard touchdown against North Dakota State on the 10th play of the season.

In Saturday night’s 49-28 loss to No. 7 Baylor, Wimberly, Nealy and freshman Martinez Syria combined for a paltry 28 yards on 20 carries.

Richardson ran for 99 yards in that game and leads the team with 218. That isn’t by design, because most of those yards have come on scrambles.

“We’ve got to fix it,” Rhoads said. “It’s certainly being addressed. It’s not something we’re putting our heads in the sand about.”

As the Cyclones (1-3, 0-2 Big 12) began preparing for their game at No. 21 Oklahoma State next Saturday,

Rhoads said there’s plenty of blame to go around for the running woes.

“We need to do a better job of blocking. That’s not just the interior five, that’s everybody,” he said. “Receivers are part of the blocking group and the tight ends. And our running backs need to do a better job of running the football.

We’ve got to make some folks miss. In watching Oklahoma State, other people are taking care of every gap, too, and sometimes backs make folks miss. We need that added to the quotient.”

Iowa State returned starters at every offensive line position, including four-year regular Tom Farniok at center. Tackle Jacob Gannon is a senior, and tackle Brock Dagel and guards Jamison Lak and Oni Omoile are juniors.

Redshirt freshman Jake Campos moved ahead of Gannon at right tackle, but Campos was a highly touted recruit coming out of high school.

Middle school football 8th grade It was shutout day for the Creston/O-M eighth graders Thursday, with a 14-0 win in the A game along with a 24-0 B game victory.

The Panthers had a balanced offense in the opener.

Dale Boyer carried for 72 yard and a touchdown. Kylan Smallwood rushed for 68 yards and completed three passes for 39 yards.

Issac Davis had a 20-yard TD carry and Beau Barncastle passed for a 20-yard TD to Matthew Borha in the B game. Austin Nguyen had a 92-yard interception return for a touchdown.

“We had some problems holding onto the ball in the first half,” coach Anthony Donahoo said, “but as soon as we

figured that out our offense got clicking. Big credit to the boys on defense for their effort.”

Rylan Luther scored on runs of 5 and 18 yards for the Panthers in the opener. He also passed to Luke Latham for a 68-yard touchdown. Luther had 90 of the team’s 188 rushing yards. Latham also had a 25-yard reception from Eli Loudon.

Elijah Hartman had 10 tackles for Creston/O-M. The Panthers scored two points on a safety.

“It took awhile to block their 10 men in the box ‘D’ but once we figured that out we steadily pulled away,” Creston/O-M coach Dick Clark said.

Luther kicked an extra point.

first set — Mostek, Taylor and Angela Sorensen each had four total — said her team got caught standing against the varied attack.

“We didn’t have the same intensity tonight,” Luther said. “We were too slow. We were reading those things and moving against Kuemper. We were much faster that night.”

Receiving LC’s service also became a problem in mounting a counter-attack. The Titans started to collect ace serves as the night went along.

“Very few times our passes were up to target,” Luther said. “Our setter didn’t get up a ton of good balls, and then when we did get it up, we got under the ball too much and didn’t terminate. We hit a lot of balls out.”

After the match was tied 1-1, LC went in front 8-4 in the third set. But successive kills by Dunphy cut it to 109. It stayed close to 19-18, but

points behind Earlham for third and three points ahead of Exira/EHK. Mount Ayr finished ninth with 258 team points.

The top 10 in the JV race medaled, and the Creston girls swept all 10 medal positions, led by Savannah Hartman in 19:37.

Boys In the boys race, McDermott and Wolfe separated themselves from the field early and never looked back.

McDermott, ranked 16th in Class 3A, eventually pulled away from Wolfe on the backside of Lake Orient, rolling to a 16:50 for the 5K course.

McDermott Wolfe finished second in 17:28.

“Cooper and Jay dominated,” Schlapia said. “Cooper and Jay were one, two from the gun all the way to the finish line. Those two guys both ran outstanding races.”

But after McDermott and Wolfe came “The Black Plague,” which occupied the next five spots in the race, with Shane Breheny, Heath Downing, Brayten Funke, Nate Venteicher and Brycen

again the Titans reeled off a 6-2 run to finish off the 25-20 victory for the key 2-1 lead.

That seemed to further drain the energy from the Panthers, who fell behind 14-5 in the fourth set, including three ace serves.

The Panthers showed life moments later when Mostek stuffed a kill attempt by Coyle and Dunphy served two points to cut it to 18-11.

But, other than a Mostek kill past middle blocker Kasandra Larsen, there wasn’t much offense as Lewis Central finished out the 25-14 win.

Powers meet Elsewhere around the Hawkeye 10 Tuesday, 4A top-ranked Harlan assumed sole control of first place in the league at 5-0 with a 2522, 25-16, 25-20 win over 3A fourth-ranked Red Oak. That dropped Red Oak to 3-1 in the conference.

Glenwood lost a nonconference match to Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln, and Carroll Kuemper posted a 3-0 win over a Shenandoah team Wallace all running between 18:05 and 18:15.

Nodaway Valley’s six and seven runners both finished ahead of Creston’s next runner. Matthew Dickinson finished 21st for the Wolverines and Skyler Rawlings was 25th. Creston’s third runner was Nick Walsh, who crossed in 20:20 for 27th place.

Senior Kyle Jennett, who won the JV division for Creston in 20:48, would have been the fourth Panther finisher on varsity. Isaac Wignall filled that fourth spot in 32nd, while Brant Hudson rounded out the team scoring for the Panthers with a 36th-place finish.

“We wanted to have a better showing against the Nodaway Valley boys,” Schlapia said. “Needless to say, we got spanked. Basically, from our first to fifth runner, we went 4:30 (gap). When we’re close together in a pack, it’s not going to help us unless we’re in the top half. Hats off to Nodaway Valley boys and coach Burmeister. They have a fantastic boys team.”

Orient-Macksburg finished seventh in the team standings with 209 points, led by Jesse Johnson’s 18th-place finish in 19:36. East Union finished 10th with 295 points.

Lenox’s Jacob Bolinger placed 17th in 19:12, while Mount Ayr was led by Will Young’s 53rd-place finish in 22:56.

The Panthers return to the course Thursday in Perry, where the competition will boys,” Clark said. “The ‘D’ played lights out and didn’t let Atlantic gain any positive yards.”

A game

that visits Creston next Tuesday for parents night.

“We have no slackers from now on,” said Luther, whose team has yet to face Red Oak and Harlan in league play, as well. “We definitely have to bring it every night.”

Shenandoah is now 3-2 in the league, with a chance to pull into a tie with Creston in the loss column next week.

The Fillies are 15-5 overall.

varsity were available because the varsity match had not concluded.

“We had a lot of kids thrown into a very unstructured night of volleyball, and still managed to do OK,” said Creston coach Jessie McClellan. “I had sophomores step up and play LC in our first game, only losing by two points. I had a few freshmen and sophomores being put in different roles and still doing some good things. All the while, their coach was at the varsity game. I couldn’t ask for better kids! That being said, we really need to come to practice and really work since we have some days off.”
