Borgmann appointed to city library board By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

Creston Library Board has a new member. Josh Borgmann was appointed by Creston City Council Tuesday evening to fill the vacancy on the city’s library board. The seat became open in September when Calvin Huffman — who had served on the board since 2009 — officially resigned. Borgmann said he applied for the position because he wants to help make sure “our library is keeping up with the demands of the 21st century.”

“Libraries can’t just be places to store books,” Borgmann said. “I’d like to see the library have more programming that can appeal to a wider base of people.” The library board is currently discussing how and where to expand library services in Creston. The current library on Howard Street has about 8,000 square feet. The library board would like to expand or acquire a building that has 14,000 square feet. “They are trying to figure out what direction to take and I wanted to be part of that,” Borgmann said. Borgmann, 39, is currently an English instructor at Southwest-

ern Community College in Creston. He’s in his 10th year with the college. Borgmann has served on several committees at the college Borgmann over the past decade. Those include faculty union, strategic planning and curriculum committees. Borgmann was one of two applicants vying for the open seat. His first library board meeting will be Nov. 3. Borgmann will serve the remainder of Huffman’s term,

which expires July 1, 2017. In other city council news: • Creston City Council voted 6-1 Tuesday to deny a request from Jesse and Amber Giza of Creston to rezone their plot of land at 908 W. Townline St. from C-2 light commercial to C-1 commercial. The only no vote came from Marsha Wilson, ward 4 councilwoman, who urged the council to keep an open mind for upgrading the zoning for Giza’s plot of land in the future. “I know the Gizas have had some bites on possible businesses,” Wilson said. “All I ask is the council keep an open mind for

the future if and when they get a plan in place with a business out there.” • Todd Jackson, fire chief with Creston Fire Department, reminded the council it’s Fire Prevention Week and an open house pancake dinner is slated 5 to 7 p.m. tonight. Jackson added the fire department will be hosting a 5K run/walk and 1-mile firefighter hike Oct. 18. To register for that, contact the Creston Fire Station at 641-7825610. The event raises money so Creston firefighters can participate in the American Lung Association’s Fight for Air Climb scheduled in spring 2015.

with Duncan while he was contagious. Another 38 people also may have come into contact with him. The four people living in the northeast Dallas apartment where Duncan stayed have been isolated in a private residence. Everyone who potentially had contact with Duncan will be monitored for 21 days, the normal incubation period for the disease. Duncan passed an airport health screening in Liberia, where doctors took his temperature and found no other signs of Ebola symptoms. But a few days after he

arrived, he began to have a fever, headache and abdominal pain. He went to the emergency room of Texas Health Presbyterian in Dallas on Sept. 24, but was sent home. By Sept. 27, his condition had worsened. An ambulance that day took him back to the hospital, where he stayed in isolation. The hospital has changed its explanation several times about when Duncan arrived and what he said about his travel history. It has acknowledged that Duncan told them on his first visit that he came from West Africa.

Templeton Rye owners defend whiskey’s marketing

Deaths Frances Jones Osceola

Frances Jones, 78, of Osceola died Oct. 4, 2014, at Southern Hills Specialty Care. T h e family will Jones conduct memorial services 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 11, at Fairview Apartments in Afton. The Rev. Dwayne Henrichs will officiate. No local visitation is planned. Kale Funeral Home, 301 S. Main St., Osceola, assisted with arrangements. Memorial may be given to HCI Care Services of Osceola. Online condolences may left at www.kalefuneralhome.com. Frances Marie Jones, daughter of Audrey Viola (Day) and Jesse George Shepherd, was born Jan. 25, 1936, in Union County. Frances grew up in the Thayer area. On Nov. 18, 1956, Frances married Rex LeRoy Jones in Davis City.

The company uses stock rye whiskey from an Indiana distillery before blending it with other ingredients in Iowa ■

Frances worked at Living History Farms in Des Moines for 10 years. She also worked for Stein Seed Farm and was the manager of Casey’s in Dallas Center for several years. Frances was a member of Thayer United Methodist Church. Frances is survived by her son George Wesley Jones of Afton; daughters, Beth Kaye (Ed) Mikes of Adel and Vicki Lynn (Russel) Nance of Woodward; sisters, Gretta Sue Shepherd of Dallas, Texas, Judith Ann Shepherd of Osceola and Dixie Lee Shepherd of Miami, Okla.; brother Daniel George (Phyllis) Shepherd of Tingley; sisterin-law Clenna Shepherd of Dallas Center; grandchildren, Jodie Marie (Nate) Bandy of Adel, Douglas Adam (Beth) Nance of Bagley, Sarah Elaine Jones of Adel, R.J. Mikes of Adel and Jonas Earl Mikes of Adel; 11 great-grandchildren, other relatives and many friends. Frances was preceded in death by her husband, parents, brother Terry Mack Shepherd and grandchild Jeremiah Eugene Nance.

DES MOINES (AP) — The final ingredients of Templeton Rye are blended in Iowa, meaning the whiskey is made in the state, according to company owners who responded to several recent lawsuits alleging consumers were deceived by the product’s Indiana-based distilling process. Co-founder Keith Kerkhoff told The Des Moines Register the Iowa-based company adds its own ingredients to the whiskey at their Templeton facility. “Templeton Rye is very unique,” he said Monday. “To say it’s a stock

whiskey made in Indiana that goes directly into the bottle is totally false. It couldn’t be further from the truth.” The company has been under scrutiny after revealing they use a stock rye whiskey from an Indiana distillery before blending it with other ingredients in Iowa. At least three lawsuits claiming the company deceived customers are pending. There’s also been criticism over Templeton’s marketing, which indicates the whiskey is a prohibition-era recipe handed down by Kerkhoff’s grandfather. Kerkhoff said federal regulations wouldn’t allow use of the recipe because its rye content was too low to be called a rye whiskey. But the company wanted to capitalize on the popularity of the rye whiskey made in Templeton during prohibition, he

said. “(Templeton Rye) was known in New York City, it was known in San Francisco,” Kerkhoff said. “It had a real rich history. We wanted to stay with the name Templeton Rye ... that’s why we had to do what we did.” Kerkhoff said Templeton Rye has worked with a Kentucky flavor-engineering company to help replicate the taste of the prohibition-era whiskey. Kerkhoff also said the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau previously approved the company’s labels and completed audits without mentioning any concerns about consumer fraud. Messages left with the bureau were not immediately returned Tuesday. The company announced in August that it will change its labels to show it’s distilled in Indiana.

Iowa men rescue 10-point buck from sinkhole DECORAH (AP) — Iowa authorities say three college students have rescued a 10-point buck from a 10-foot sinkhole. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says the animal was rescued last week from a Winneshiek County farm near Decorah. The three high school friends were home from college when a tractor ran into the sinkhole and discovered the deer.

They estimate the hole is about 4 feet wide and 10 feet deep. They fastened a rope to the buck’s antlers and pulled it out of the hole. The men say the animal appeared to be uninjured and ran off after it was rescued. The farm owner tells KWWL-TV he hopes the deer will return the kindness by leaving his corn and beans alone.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A U.S. Supreme Court justice on Wednesday temporarily blocked a lower-court ruling that declared gay marriage legal in Idaho and Nevada, dashing plans in Las Vegas to start performing gay nuptials in the self-proclaimed marriage capital of the world. Nevada and Idaho had joined the growing number of states where samesex marriage is legal when the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that gay couples’ equal protection rights were violated by the gay marriage bans in both states. In Las Vegas, the Marriage License Bureau had been expected to issue licenses for same-sex couples starting at 2 p.m. Wednesday, but Clark County Clerk Diane Alba told The Associated Press that it’s clear, at least for now, that she can’t issue gender-neutral marriage licenses after Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s order tempo-

rarily halting gay marriage. Kennedy’s order came a little more than an hour after Idaho on Wednesday filed an emergency request for an immediate stay. The state’s request said that without a stay, state and county officials would have been required to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples Wednesday morning. Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter said Wednesday that he was glad Kennedy acted quickly. “I’m pleased that Justice Kennedy has given us the opportunity to make our case in a way that helps avoid the confusion some other states have faced,” Otter said. “I intend to be faithful to my oath of office and keep working to protect the Idaho Constitution and the mandate of Idaho voters in support of traditional marriage.” The delay could last just a few days. Kennedy’s order requested a response from the plaintiffs involved in Idaho’s gay mar-

riage lawsuit by the end of Thursday. The full court almost certainly would weigh in to extend the delay much beyond the weekend. That has been the justices’ practice in other cases in which a single justice initially blocked a ruling from taking effect. Las Vegas had been preparing for gay weddings. The county’s marriage licenses went gender-neutral a couple weeks ago, just in case. Chapels had photographers practice with models to see how they might best shoot two brides in gowns. In its decision Tuesday about Nevada and Idaho’s gay marriage bans, 9th Circuit Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote for a unanimous three-judge panel that laws treating people differently based on sexual orientation are unconstitutional unless there is a compelling government interest. He wrote that neither Idaho nor Nevada offered

any legitimate reasons to discriminate against gay couples. That decision came a day after the Supreme Court turned away state appeals, effectively legalizing samesex marriage in several more states, bringing the U.S. total to 30. The original Nevada lawsuit, Sevcik v. Sandoval, was filed in April 2012 on behalf of eight couples in the state. It said the 2002 state constitutional amendment prohibiting gay marriage violated the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution by denying same-sex couples in Nevada the same rights, dignity and security that other married couples enjoy. In Idaho, Sue Latta, with Traci Ehlers, sued the state last year to compel the state to recognize their 2008 marriage in California. Three other couples also joined the lawsuit to invalidate Idaho’s same-sex marriage ban.

The 1978 Ford was legally parked and unoccupied. Gridley said he was pressing on the brake and it was not working.

OPINION Southeastward, Ho

Seems like I spend an inordinate amount of life’s precious time loading boxes and U-Haul trailers. This time, the goods are in Colorado and the truck is head back East, to Mississippi. During the past four years, I’ve been privileged to spend a good bit of time in the West, a region I knew little about before. There are wonderful memories I’ll store with these boxes. I’ll miss the view of Pike’s Peak from the patio, its purple mountain majesty framed by an evergreen tree in a neighbor’s yard and a telephone pole. Where’s Harvey Updike, the infamous Alabama tree-killer, when you need him? Even a limited view of Pike’s Peak is better than none at all, and I’ve spent hours, I suspect, admiring its many looks. I like it best capped with snow, which makes its prominence and height all the

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

more evident. Though Colorado Springs is a city, a big one by my standards, I never got lost much with Pike’s Peak as a marker. At least I knew when I was traveling West. I’ll miss the neighbors, especially the stalwart women like Shirley and Verla, the latter in her 90s and still pushing a lawnmower. Her son recently threatened to sell the machine if Verla persisted in cutting her own grass. Much is made about Southern Steel Magnolias, but as you watch these Western women shoveling snow on bitter cold mornings, you know they are plenty tough, too.

I’ll miss the long, aimless drives to small towns with interesting names and cozy bars — Victor, Ouray, Pine, Guffey, Salida. There’s something so comforting about a watering hole in a remote outpost, a gathering place for citizens at times cut off from the rest of the world by the harsh elements. I imagine people out here have to make more of an effort to get along than we do in the Deep South, or you’d fast run out of drinking buddies. I’ll miss the Mexican food, including Dorothy’s tamales. Until you’ve sat by Fountain Creek and watched the mule deer grazing as you work on a pitcher of Amanda Fonda’s margaritas, you haven’t known bliss. I’ll miss the funky shops in Old Colorado City, where shoppers and shopkeepers often look like old hippies, no longer a threat to

an uptight, Nixon-run civilization, almost nostalgic in their novelty. I’ll miss a lot. I’ll miss Kathleen, Tip and Dennis, Peter. But the West is not my home and has never seemed a perfect fit. The natives and many transplants here are more taciturn than I’m used to, often not speaking unless spoken to. I’m more accustomed to Southern strangers regaling you with long, meandering stories made interesting by their trapeze-like tangents. I love the Colorado weather in the winter. There is something, after all, to that vaunted “dry cold” I’ve always heard about. But I’d just as soon have the South’s humidity in the summer as the “dry heat,” which can be blast-furnace hot. I like summer thunderstorms and hate the droughts that have plagued the West in the past few years. Fire is fear.

I will not miss walking my dogs on a leash. They are not meant to be treated like Duncan yo-yos, pulled back from strange dogs and gloating squirrels and rich smells. They miss the woods, which are more regulated here than parking. So I’m headed back where I belong, the land of long-winded stories about nothing and overgrown, claustrophobic woods, the freedom to burn a brush pile and feuds that last an eternity. I yam who I yam, as Popeye says, and the South has its brand on my soul. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ...

Letter to the editor

Response to ‘Think about it’ From Kenneth Mallas Corning

This letter is in response to Dennis Gross letter titled “Think about it.” Very confusing letter. I watched the debate between Young and Appel. The Des Moines Register said that is not her stance. What she said during the debate and her position she has now are completely opposite. Jan Mickelson on WHO radio spent over 20 minutes replaying what she said. She has a right to change her position but she has to live with what she said. Dennis brings in Grassley and death panels with Obamacare. None of us know the answer to that question. Wait 10 years and then we might know. Dennis, please tell the people how many changes have been made or will be made in the future. Is it going to cost less, can we keep our own insurance or our own doctor? These statements were made by our “president.” Of the two which one was the bigger error? Next he brings in our governor and the speeding of his driver. Did the driver get a ticket? Yes. What

did the president get? “Nothing.” He talks about the House of Representatives (Boehner) with Republicans having the majority but forgets to include the Senate and Harry Reed having never taken up one passed House bill. Each and every comment he and the Democrats now make is full of B.S. Why do I say that? Let us look at the actual facts. They speaks for themselves. The House, the Senate and the president of the United States all were controlled by the Democrats and they could have passed any of these bills. All of these bills could have been brought to the floor of these bodies and signed by a Democrat president. The long list of items they now blame the Republicans for must lie at their own feet. They must blame themselves. Where were these proud Democrats at when they had the absolute power? The power to do everything or anything they wanted. The people of the United States gave them that power. Did they use it? No. Either they were too afraid of that power or they just wanted to blame the Republicans should they lose that power.

2014

President Obama called for tighter controls HOLLYWOOD—Happy Wednesday, everybody, and God bless America. The Supreme Court overturned Oklahoma’s ban on gay marriage Monday. The state was cornered. The court ruled that Oklahoma, no matter how conservative, how Southern, how religious, made its deal with the devil when they agreed to be named after a Broadway musical. The Seattle City Council is about to vote to cancel Columbus Day next week and replace it with Indigenous People’s Day. A new report suggests that the famed explorer Columbus may have been Jewish. It also suggests that his three ships were the Nina, the Pinta and the Seinfeld. Texas Judge Clay Jenkins moved the four exposed family members of the Ebola patient to a gated Dallas home provided by an anonymous donor. The first reaction was to praise the act of kindness. The second reaction was, someone must be going through a really bad divorce. USA Today Friday said many Texans are blaming the Ebola outbreak on gay sex in West Africa. That’s real progress. Here Texans had an easy shot to blame something on black people and they blamed it on gay people, showing the world how far the South has come in forty years. President Obama called for tighter controls over who can board America-bound flights from Africa. He called for stronger airport security ques-

tionnaires to help detect Ebola. Right now if you answer yes to any three out of the twenty questions given, you might be an alcoholic. CDC Director Tom Frieden spoke to reporters in a live press conference Sunday and said the Ebola situation is fluid. He actually said that. That’s the funniest thing a public official’s said since George W. Bush looked at the Haiti earthquake damage and said that he was deeply moved, or the time Barack Obama saw the Joplin tornado damage and said he was blown away. Fox News inteviewed an immunologist Sunday who said his top worry is Ebola will mutate and become airborne. Mutations are lethal. We all know what happened when pro football players mutated this year and developed a resistance to the soothing effect of elevator music. The Director of the Secret Service Julia Pierson resigned under fire Thursday after a rash of security breaches recently at the White House. It’s really a shame. She used to work at Disney World, but she preferred working at the White House because there are no lines to get in. New York’s North Tonawanda School Board dropped Michelle

Obama’s school lunch menu after parents revolted. The protests are sweeping the country. We’ve had a lot of failed presidents in two hundred-forty years, but this could be the first time we had a failed first lady. Kim Kardashian released photos of her baby daughter playing with dolls of her parents on the girl’s first birthday, one of them a Kim Kardashian doll and one of them a Kanye West doll. The baby’s name is North. Leave it to the Kardashians to name of their girls after a pole. Olympic gold medal star Michael Phelps checked into rehab after his second DUI Monday, indicating that his life is right on schedule. Most young people have to reach the age of thirty before they realize that life is not a fairy tale. If you lose your slipper at midnight, you’re drunk. Brett Favre’s NFL record of five hundred and eight touchdown passes could fall Sunday to Peyton Manning. Of course, Favre accumulated his record over a much longer career. Brett Favre is the only player who was drafted by both the Atlanta Falcons and the Confederate Army. ISIS troops advanced to the Turkish border Monday after besieging a Kurdish city in a weeklong siege. Then to the east, an ISIS army has advanced to within a mile of Baghdad. At the rate we’ve got Al-Qaeda on the run, it’s a race to see if they get to Berlin or New Delhi first.

Self-cleaning cast iron Dear Heloise: I read your column every day in The Decatur (Ala.) Daily. If you have CAST-IRON COOKWARE that has a “buildup” on the outside, you can clean it in your self-cleaning oven. Afterward, be sure it is completely cool, then wash in warm, soapy water and wipe down inside and out with a thin coat of shortening. I even have put mine in a 300-degree oven for an hour or so at times for minor cleaning. — Dot B. in Alabama Dot, don’t you love this tried-and-true Heloise hint on how to “easy clean” a castiron skillet? Since you need to put it on an oven rack, just leave one rack in the oven when doing this. Many readers leave both racks in when self-cleaning the oven. They may get dull, but they won’t be damaged. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com MICROWAVE MISTAKES Dear Readers: Microwaves are pretty much a standard

Hints from Heloise appliance to have today. They sure make cooking or heating up some leftovers a snap! However, there are some very important DON’TS for a microwave. Make sure you keep the following items out of the microwave, as the U.S. Department of Agriculture says they aren’t safe, and that’s good enough for me: • Containers with metal handles. • Any foam-insulated items, such as carry-out containers. • Food wrapped in aluminum foil. • Cold containers that are used to contain yogurt, cottage cheese, margarine, etc. These should be used only for storage and NOT for microwave cooking. • Brown paper bags. — Heloise STUBBORN JARS Dear Heloise: I have a problem opening glass jars. Do you have a hint for how to do this? — Olga V. in New Jersey Hola, Olga! Readers, Olga

wrote to me in Spanish. I read and speak just a little (solo un poco), so I can answer her question. My trick is to wrap the lid in a thick kitchen towel, then “whack” the side of it in several spots with a heavy utensil, or tap it (just the lid, not the whole glass jar!) on the floor. You can use a bowl of hot water and turn the jar upside down just until the water covers the lid. Since heat expands, the metal lid should loosen a little. — Heloise EASY TRASH TAKEOUT Dear Heloise: I traded out my large garbage can for several small ones, placed in the corners of my kitchen. The one by the sink is for “messy” trash and is handy for meat trimmings and leftovers. It’s BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker easy to lift the small can to wherever the mess is, tie it up and toss. — D.M.L. in Mississippi QUICK DRY Dear Heloise: I reuse 1-gallon plastic bags, but they are hard to dry.

I rolled it around several times and dried the inside of the bag. — Addie W. in North Carolina (c)2014 by King Features BLONDIE® by Dean Young Syndicate Inc.

Horoscope Thursday, Oct. 9, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today you are focused on money, possessions and possibly taking care of what you own. You want to feel good about your assets; you also want to feel that they help you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today the Moon is in your sign, which can make you more emotional than usual. However, it also can make you a little luckier! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It will be natural for you to withdraw somewhat from the busyness of everyone and everything around you. Today you need a little R and R, or at least some privacy. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A conversation with a female acquaintance will be important today. Possibly you want to confide in someone or, vice versa, he or she wants to confide in you. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It’s possible that a boss or someone in a position of authority will learn personal details about your private life today. Be aware of this. You might want to play your cards close to your chest. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Do something different today. Go someplace you’ve never been before to satisfy your urge for adventure and for a chance to learn something new. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Focus on shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances and insurance matters. Clear up some loose ends if you can, to give yourself some peace of mind.

Shenandoah falls 3-0 in battle of rated H-10 teams By LARRY PETERSON Harper

National Digest

Cards advance ST. LOUIS — Matt Adams could barely contain his enthusiasm - and he didn’t really try, either. He thrust both arms in the air while still in the batter’s box and added a couple of big hops to his home run trot as he approached first base. A stunned Clayton Kershaw, bent over at the waist with his hands on his knees, watched from the mound as the long drive off Big City’s bat propelled St. Louis to a fourth straight NL Championship Series. “Some people are calling it the Big City Leap,” Adams said. “I was just super-excited, I didn’t know what I was doing ... I knew I was jumping for joy.” The Cardinals tagged Kershaw in the seventh inning for the second straight time, riding Adams’ go-ahead, three-run homer to a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday for a 3-1 win in the best-of-five Division Series.

Giants return SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Giants are on another October roll in their every-other-year pattern of postseason success. Joe Panik scored the goahead run in the seventh inning on Aaron Barrett’s bases-loaded wild pitch, and the Giants edged the Washington Nationals 3-2 Tuesday night to return to the NL Championship Series. The wild-card Giants won 3-1 in the best-of-five Division Series by also scoring on a walk and a groundout. Hunter Pence turned in a defensive gem in right field that helped hold the Nationals at bay as San Francisco won for the 11th time in its last 12 postseason games. San Francisco travels to St. Louis for Game 1 on Saturday. It’s a rematch of the 2012 NLCS, when the Giants rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Cardinals on the way to their second World Series championship in three years.

Gator fight GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida coach Will Muschamp has another issue to deal with this week. According to the University Police Department, reserve quarterback Skyler Mornhinweg, son of New York Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, and teammate Gerald Willis got into a fight over a pair of missing cleats Monday night. Mornhinweg sustained “small lacerations on his lower lip” and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, according to the police report. Willis had a “small cut on his chin” but did not get medical attention. Mornhinweg told police the fight started Monday night after his missing cleats were located in Willis’ locker. Mornhinweg said he asked Willis about the cleats outside Florida Field following practice, and their discussion escalated into a physical altercation.

The Creston volleyball team celebrated senior night in a big way here Tuesday, sweeping state-ranked Shenandoah 25-17, 25-16, 25-23. The Panthers, ranked 13th in Class 4A, played much sharper than in a 3-1 loss one week earlier to fellow 4A ranked conference rival Lewis Central. Shenandoah, 18-9 and ranked 15th in Class 3A, never really recovered from Creston’s early 12-4 lead in the first set. Coach Polly Luther said the team successfully transitioned from the emotions of seven seniors being honored prior to the match, including her own daughter, Panther setter Hanna Luther. Other seniors are Brenna Baker, Nicole Haley, Natalie Mostek, Marie Hood, Ashley Harris and Haylee LaMasters. Senior managers are Kiana Stuart, Jaaron Kautz and Coleton Hoepker. “I knew at the beginning of the game it was going to be emotional,” Luther said. “But I told them once we’re done with introductions, it’s over, and we play ball. And they did!” Creston, now 14-3 overall and 6-1 in a second-place tie with Red Oak in the Hawkeye 10, sailed in easier fashion than in the finals of the Fillie Invitational earlier this season, although the last set was back and forth until

Creston senior Marie Hood (20) celebrates with teammates after striking the kill that sealed the Panthers’ 25-23 victory in set three of Tuesday’s 3-0 sweep over Shenandoah. Hood finished with a team-high eight kills. Other Panthers clockwise from right are Natalie Mostek, Hanna Luther, Jami Sickels and Alyssa Higgins.

Creston squeezed out the 25-23 win. “At their tournament we got the first game and they got the second game, and the third game went back and forth until we got it,” Luther said. “Tonight, I saw a lot of teamwork. The girls were fired up. We were ready to play. These girls are very driven, they have goals set. This is one of our

last two home games and it’s a big deal to them.” The final of four home appearances in the resurgent 2014 season is next Tuesday against defending champion and No. 1-ranked Harlan, the conference leader at 7-0, and 22-1 overall.

Hood shines One of the sparks of the balanced net attack Tuesday was Hood, who got a

pleasant surprise when her father arrived to be a part of the senior night recognition. Tim Hood is superintendent of schools in Keokuk in southeast Iowa, and Marie Hood was unsure if he would make it to join his wife and her mother, Rhonda, for Tuesday’s event. “Before the game my dad came, and he had told me he wasn’t going to be able

to come for senior night,” Hood said. “It really boosted my confidence knowing that he was here tonight. We clicked really well tonight.” “Marie was studly tonight,” Luther said, grinning. Hood finished with a team-high eight kills, averaging nearly three per set. The balanced attack also featured Jenna Taylor with seven, Natalie Mostek six, and four each by Sydney Dunphy and Angela Sorensen. Four players also had blocks, led by Sorensen’s four. Shenandoah was more of a two-pronged attack, as the only hitters of note were Grand View recruit Sydney Nielsen and Serena Parker with six kills each. “I thought we blocked really well tonight,” said LaMasters, a defensive specialist. “Angie had some awesome blocks that help us in the back row. Shen is f a s t e r LaMasters paced and they have good hitters, but I get more pumped up against good teams like that.”

Iowa to rotate QBs Rudock, Beathard Iowa State unable to Beathard comovercome controversial calls By LUKE MEREDITH pleted four passAP Sports Writer

By CHUCK SCHOFFNER Associated Press

AMES (AP) — Iowa State seems to have a knack of getting tangled up with close calls that generate frustration, controversy and, in the latest case, some sharp criticism by the athletic director. The Cyclones have brought much of it upon themselves because they haven’t been able to overcome whatever has gone against them. In three recent games that included disputed calls, the Cyclones lost all three — two of them by less than a touchdown. “We’ve just got to respond to stuff like that,” offensive lineman Jake Campos said Monday. “There’s been a lot of plays in film we’re watching when we’re one block away or one cut away. We’re like, we’re so close. There’s a lot of plays we could bust wide open. We’ve just got to get the little tiny things cleaned up and those things will start breaking for us.” The latest flare-up occurred during and after Saturday’s 37-20 loss to No. 16 Oklahoma State. With the score tied at 6, the officials ruled that Oklahoma State’s Desmond Roland was stopped short of the goal line at the end of the first half. The play was reviewed and the replay official reversed the call, giving the Cowboys a 13-6 lead. Frustrated by that decision and some earlier calls, athletic director Jamie Pollard lashed out at Big 12 officiating after the game and said the Cyclones “have been on Pollard the short end of the stick” time and time again. The Big 12 responded Monday with a public reprimand and a $25,000 fine for Pollard, with league commissioner Bob Bowlsby saying his rant was “irresponsible and completely baseless.”

Iowa State also has taken issue with a catch by Kansas State’s Tyler Lockett along the sideline earlier this year — the replay official and replay communicator were suspended for one game for failing to review the play — and a play in last year’s game with Texas when the Longhorns’ Johnathan Gray was ruled down while ISU linebacker Jeremiah George was running the other way with the ball. In both cases, the opponent scored on the next play. In the Oklahoma State game, the Cyclones could have avoided any controversy if they had simply fielded a kickoff. Instead, OSU recovered at the Iowa State 11 and Roland scored five plays later. Then the Cyclones allowed Tyreek Hill to return the second-half kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown and the Cowboys dominated the game from then on. “Our special teams didn’t have the best day,” kicker Cole Netten said. The offense didn’t, either. “You can say whatever you want about the call on Saturday, whatever it is, it should or shouldn’t have been a touchdown, I don’t think it won or lost us the game by any means,” quarterback Sam Richardson said. “We shot ourselves in the foot too many times as an offense. We didn’t give ourselves a chance to win that game, honestly.” In the Kansas State game, Lockett’s catch came late in the first half with Iowa State leading 28-13. The Wildcats rushed to the line of scrimmage after the play and quarterback Jake Waters scored to cut the lead to 28-20. With plenty of opportunities to increase the lead in the second half, the Cyclones went scoreless and lost 32-28. The Cyclones also had their chances against Texas last year. They had second-and-goal at the Please see ISU, page 9A

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa offensive coordinator Greg Davis made waves last week when he said the Hawkeyes would rotate quarterbacks Jake Rudock and C.J. Beathard, adding that playing time would be decided by “feel.” The next day, coach Kirk Ferentz declared that Rudock was still his starter. But Ferentz also said that Beathard would see more playing time in the weeks ahead. Clearly, Iowa’s quarterback drama won’t end until either Rudock or Beathard prove they deserve to be the guy. The Hawkeyes (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten) will use both of them when they host Indiana (3-2, 0-1) on Saturday, though they’ve yet to decide on a plan. Rudock missed a win over Purdue on Sept. 27 with a leg injury. But Ferentz said Tuesday that Rudock will be ready to play. Rudock “The bottom line is we’ve got two guys we feel really good about. I sound like a broken record on this one,” Ferentz said. “Both guys have played well. Jake has done a great job for us, and C.J., when called upon, has played really well too. So we’ll just try to figure out the best way to work it.” Beathard, a sophomore, had his shot to end all the turbulence at quarterback against Purdue. Beathard’s performance only exacerbated the uncertainty. Beathard was up and down against one of the Big Ten’s worst defenses. In his first career start, Beathard completed just 17 of 37 passes — although his receivers dropped at least a half-dozen passes — for 245 yards and a touchdown. Beathard also threw an interception that Purdue returned for its only touchdown in a 24-10 Iowa win.

es of more than 20 yards, nearly matching Iowa’s total for the entire season in just four quarters. Beathard Iowa’s inability to stretch the field had hampered the offense all season. In that regard, Beathard appears to have the edge on Rudock. But Rudock wouldn’t be listed as the starter unless Ferentz still believed in him. “Jake entered this season as a guy who played well a year ago. I think a lot of that has been diminished by people, at least if you hear the chatter. But he’s done a lot of good things for us,” Ferentz said. Rudock’s completion percentage is up and his turnovers are down this season. But the Hawkeyes scored just 10 points in the past two halves Rudock played in. Rudock is 85 of 127 for 798 yards with five TDs and two interceptions. “It’s that whole, the backup quarterback is the love of the town. That’s just how it is everywhere,” Rudock said. “Sometimes people want the backup, and (Beathard) is a good quarterback. He’s proven that.” Those looking for clues into how this rotation might play out should look back six years. Ferentz opened up the starting job after the Hawkeyes went 6-6 in 2007. Junior Jake Christensen and sophomore Ricky Stanzi split time for the first four games of the season before a loss at Pittsburgh convinced the coaches to stick with Stanzi. After a bit of a bumpy start, Stanzi led Iowa to 17 wins in 19 games and an Orange Bowl victory — the only BCS bowl win of Ferentz’s tenure — by the end of his junior year. But even Ferentz doesn’t know how the competition between Rudock and Beathard will pan out. “If I had the answer, I’d tell you. We don’t have it yet. We haven’t gone down this road, but we’re about to,” Ferentz said.

Area volleyball Murray 3, Mount Ayr 0 MOUNT AYR — In the battle of father vs. daughter, Jerry Shields came out victorious over his daughter Tori Braby here Monday. Shields’ Murray team pulled off a sweep of Braby’s Mount Ayr squad, 2513, 25-20, 25-19. The win improved Murray to 12-4 for the season, while Mount Ayr falls to 13-10. “Played a very good game at the net this evening,” Shields said. “Our serving was also very good. Jade (Lecy) had another outstanding night of blocking.” Lecy recorded six blocks in the match and added nine kills on 17-of-19 hitting. Hannah Barber led the team with 14 kills. Madison Gonseth added eight and Shelby Myers finished with six kills. Myers served 14-14 with two aces, while Chellsea Jones went 12-12 with one ace at the service line. Lecy served 12-12 and Gonseth finished 11-12 with one ace. Brandi Gilbert set 31 assists in the win. Barber received serve at a 13-14 clip and McKenzie Case was 1313 on serve receive. Barber led the team with 10 digs, while Gilbert finished with eight. Kelcie Shields led the Raiderettes with 14 kills and two blocks. Allie Shields

added eight kills with two blocks. Tessa Shields served two aces. The Lady Mustangs return to action Thursday at Ankeny Christian Academy in a match that will determine the winner of the Bluegrass Conference western division title.

Mount Ayr 3, East Union 1 AFTON — East Union won the first game here Tuesday, 25-22, but Mount Ayr rebounded with wins of 25-14, 25-10, 25-17 for a Pride of Iowa Conference victory. “We struggled to gain momentum in the last three games,” East Union head coach Gail Thatcher said. “We would have some success and Mount Ayr would take it back.” Emily Eckels led the Eagles with 11 kills. Allie Shields had a big night for the Raiderettes at the net with 13 kills and nine blocks, while serving 6-of-7 with one ace. Macy Larsen set 22 assists and served 94 percent. Kelcie Shields added 21 kills and had six blocks. Alyssa Johnson set 16 assists. Blair Glendenning had 30 digs. “We got past that first game and never looked back,” Mount Ayr head coach Tori Braby said. “I told them we need to learn to get a lead and never let

up, and they listened.”

Bedford 3, Southwest Valley 1 BEDFORD — Southwest Valley had early leads in each of the first two games, but couldn’t hold on for wins here Tuesday in a 2519, 25-18, 20-25, 25-17 loss to Bedford. The win wrapped up the Pride of Iowa Conference western division championship for Bedford, which is now 5-0 in conference play. Southwest Valley fell to 4-1 in conference play. “We build a 5-0 lead in both sets one and two, but couldn’t hold onto it,” Southwest Valley head coach Lindsay Wetzel said. “Our pass rating of 1.9 out of 3.0 was also a struggle. As a team, we had 41 unforced errors. We aren’t going to win many matches giving away that many points on unforced errors. Hopefully we will have another shot at them during the conference tournament. We definitely let them control our game instead of us being in control.” Marie Palmer had 14 kills and eight digs in the loss. Jade Petersen and Lexi Bronner each finished with seven kills. Bronner had three total blocks and nine digs. Taylor Damewood set 32 assists. Kim Hults had a team-high 13 digs.

Middle school volleyball 8th grade WINTERSET — Creston eighth-grade volleyball players went 2-6 in sets against Winterset Thursday. Creston Team One defeated Winterset 21-18, 21-15. “These girls are keeping matches close and playing to the level of their competition, not to the level of their ability,” coach Jan Lesan said.

Serving — Jaxie Luther 17-20, Taylor Buxton 2-2, Megan Haley 3-4.

Winterset swept Creston Team Two 21-8, 21-15, 2111. “This group served well,” Lesan said. “They tried to bump, set and spike throughout the game. We might not have gotten the ball over the net, but the concept of this game, they are getting down. They did a good job. They just came up short.” Serving

Christensen 7-9 (1), Laura Weis 9-9 (3), Devon Buls 4-4 (1), Maura Kinsella 4-5 (2), Sadie Green 5-5 (1). Kills — Christensen 2, Buls 2, Shelby Huntsman 1.

Winterset swept Creston Team Three 21-12, 21-6, 15-6. “This group had to play Winterset’s second team,” Lesan said. “Winterset’s serves were very hard and we had trouble with serve reception. Yet, this group did not quit. They also tried to play bump, set, spike when we could get the ball up. They gave an awesome effort.”

7th grade Creston seventh-graders won two sets and lost 10 against Winterset here on Thursday. Winterset swept Creston Team One 21-5, 21-6, 2113, 21-19. “We had too many missed serves, and our focus was not there,” coach Teri Keeler said.

Winterset defeated Creston Team Three 10-15, 1511, 15-10, 15-11. “Our serving was better with this group, but they have to learn to move more,” Lesan said. Creston played at Clarinda Tuesday.

night observances. LaMasters said she didn’t play well during the opening points, but quickly regained her focus. “It was really hard at first,” LaMasters said. “Then when I came out, I told myself everything is going to be OK. I know my dad is up there watching me. He’d be proud of me.” LaMasters served an ace during a hot stretch in game one when the Panthers zoomed to a 16-6 lead. Luther served the final three points of the 25-17 win, in-

cluding successive aces. Luther also finished with 28 setting assists despite battling a lingering back issue. She was ill for a moment during a timeout in the third set, but bounced back to H. Luther finish the victory. “Hanna was very key in putting the ball where it needed to be and kept them guessing,” coach Luther said. “She put up some great

balls tonight. Our hitters were on. I really thought Alyssa Higgins played very well in the back row tonight.” Jami Sickels had a teamhigh nine digs in the active Panther defense, Mostek had five while the trio of LaMasters, Higgins and Alli Thomsen each had four. Thomsen was an efficient 6-of-7 in serve receive. Creston also had a good night at the service line, finishing with 10 aces. Luther was 13-14 with four aces. LaMasters was perfect in 14 attempts with three aces. Higgins was 7-7 with a pair of aces and Dunphy’s aggressive service style paid off at 15-17 with one ace. Mostek and Sickels were a combined 19-20. Those are numbers across the board that would appear to make Creston competitive in a regional announced Friday that includes 10th ranked ADM and No. 12 Lewis Central, but not the powerhouse Harlan. The Panthers have their sites set on a long tournament run, including hopes for the first state tourney berth since 1987. “If we play like we’re capable, I love our chances,” coach Luther said. LaMasters concurred. She’s excited for the postseason stretch. Thursday’s match at Glenwood is a preview of the regional firstround match on the Panthers’ court. “I believe we can do it,” LaMasters said. “We have stepped up a lot since last year. We have the team and we have the athletes. I know we can do it. This is our year.”

Program to discuss Medicare plans Preschool tuition scholarships available Recently, 82 Union County residents were notified their United Healthcare Medicare Advantage plans will not be offered in 2014. Greater Regional Medical Center and the state of Iowa’s Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) will be offering a program to explain the options available to those affected. The program will be offered 2 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27, in the Medical Arts Plaza Conference Room at Greater Regional Medical Center. Each year Medicare Advantage plans decide whether to sign a contract with Medicare. Some plans make business decisions to leave Medicare altogether or stop offering plans in certain areas. Plans had to notify members by Oct. 2, if they will not be renewing their contract with Medicare. There are two choices if you received a nonrenewal letter from United Healthcare — join a new Medicare Advantage plan or re-

turn to original Medicare. Current coverage will end Dec. 31. Individuals may choose another Medicare Advantage plan or change to original Medicare between Oct. 15 and Feb. 28, 2015. Making a decision by Dec. 31 assures people have coverage that best meets their needs Jan. 1. Individuals are still in the Medicare program no matter what they choose. At the program Oct. 21, the options for Medicare Advantage plans in Union County will be discussed, as will the Medicare supplement and Medicare Part D drug plans available to those interested in return-
