Clinton says jail was Schweser’s in Creston to ‘right thing’ close after holiday season for clerk lead the pack during the fifth annual Healthiest State Walk Wednesday afternoon at the Southern Prairie YMCA. The annual healthiest state walk is part of Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad’s initiative to become the healthiest state by 2016. Since beginning this initiative in 2011, Iowa was ranked as high as the ninth healthiest state. The YMCA’s walk was one of three healthiest state walks organized in Creston Wednesday. The other two started at Fareway and Greater Regional Medical Center. This year’s event coincided with Fire Prevention Week.

This winter, Schweser’s in Creston will permanently close its doors due to declining sales over the past few years that led to an unsustainable business.

“This is a wonderful place, everything’s affordable and there’s so much to choose from,” said Kathy Eblen, Creston Schweser’s manager. “It’s going to put a damper on shopping for

the town.”

The everything-must-go discounts of up to 90 percent off ticket prices have already begun, and the store will be open through the holiday season. Merchandise shipments are still coming in, so there will be plenty of shopping to do until the closing date.

“It is with much sadness that we have to make this announcement,” Company President Tyler Smith said in a press release. “However, the business has to

be profitable to survive.

The sales trends, expense trends and retail shop- Eblen ping and demographic trends (in Creston) have been against us for a few years, and in spite of our changes and attempts to find the right path to profitability, we have reached the end.”

Eblen has been at Schweser’s for nearly six years and has been the manager for two years.

“We will be forever grateful to the employees in Creston who have worked with us over the years, our loyal customers and the entire community for supporting us ... and we hope to honor the legacy of Schweser’s in Creston with one final holiday season,” Please see SCHWESER’S, Page 2

MOUNT VERNON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton says that jail was the “right thing” for a Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Speaking in Iowa Wednesday, the Democratic presidential hopeful said Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis was “treated as she should have been treated.”

Davis spent five days in jail for defying a court order and refusing to license

gay marriages.

Several Republ i c a n presidential candidates h a v e Clinton vocally defended Davis, including former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Texas Please see CLINTON, Page 2

Sen. Ted Cruz.

“People are totally entitled to their private, personal beliefs, religious or otherwise, but when you take an oath to uphold the constitution of the United States, that is your job,” Clinton said, adding that people are free to agitate to seek to change laws.

Clinton spoke before over 700 people at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, as part of a two-day swing through the leadoff caucus

state. She also pledged to fight for gun control measures, seek immigration reform and defend the Affordable Care Act. Clinton also criticized the Republican primary field, saying the rhetoric in that contest was reaching a “new low.”

“I think we all have to speak up and speak out when they say things,” Clinton said. “I’ve gone very clearly after the comments that not just (front-runner Donald) Trump, but some of the others have made.”

Trailer trains students on how to escape smoke-filled room SIOUX CITY (AP) — A house trailer filled with heavy smoke is giving Sioux City third-graders an idea of what it’s like to be in a real house fire.

The Sioux City Journal reports the trailer used by the city’s fire department trains kids on how to get out of a smoke-filled room. Sioux City Fire Rescue Lt. Joe Rodriguez says every third-grade class in

the city gets a visit from the training trailer during National Fire Prevention Week.

The smoke used is actually a harmless fog. The trailer also had fire hazards such as unattended lighters and hair curlers, and students were asked to identify them.

Rodriguez says the realistic drills help reinforce safety preparedness concepts in children.

Funeral Homes Creston * Afton A commitment to meeting your needs with affordable, quality funeral service.

Joe Powers, Owner (641) 782-7036

Today is Oct. 8, the 281st day of the year. There are 84 days left in 2015. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Oct. 5-11) in history.

5 years ago Creston High School and Creston Middle School marching bands came away with top honors at the 55th annual Southwest Iowa Band Jamboree. Creston High School placed first in field competition for its show, “The Journey of Man,” from Cirque Du Soleil and second in the Class 3A parade competition. Creston drum majors were Ashley Peters and Sarah Jennett. Color guard coordinator was Lisa Peters. Sophomore Cayden Shiltz was named outstanding marcher. Creston Middle School band and color guard placed first in its class in parade competition. Jane Warner was the Creston Middle School band director. Drum majors were Kieran Deal and Madison Skarda. Megan Travis was volunteer color guard coordinator.

Nick and Callista Wilkey, owners of the Kansas Street Deli and Market and Purple Cow Antiques and Interiors in Afton, opened their deli and antique store in September.

The deli serves sandwiches, ice cream, malts, shakes, coffee and flavored coffee, and was in the process of adding soups to the menu.

A section of the store was used specifically for antiques, although many of the antiques were hanging up or positioned through-

out the deli.

The Marin family of Afton was planning the opening El Ranchito, a Mexican restaurant, within the next couple of months. As for the menu, Arturo Marin said he hoped the restaurant would help people experience traditional Mexican food, especially the hot sauce. Plans also included having a sports bar in the back.

10 years ago An off-duty sheriff’s deputy credited with saving a teenager from drowning was a recipient of the state’s top award of valor.

Vic Lilienthal was called to Mount Ayr Lake on April 9 where a group of five teenagers had been swimming. He was off-duty, but closer than the on-duty deputy. Despite the choppy 40-degree water, Lilienthal

saved Tonya Johnson who had tried to swim across the lake.

Extra security was in place for the Madison County Covered Bridge Festival. Arsonists had set fire and destroyed Cedar Bridge in 2002 and Hogback Bridge was minimally damaged in 2003. Cedar Bridge was rebuilt and unveiled in 2004, and Hogback was refurbished by volunteers. All six bridges in the county were outfitted with wireless surveillance cameras and members of the community had their eyes “wide open.”

20 years ago CHS was full of activities this week with “A Panther Spirit Revival: A Homecoming Classic.” Homecoming queen candidates were Melissa Baker, Cari Briley, Samantha Willetts,

Mandy Moffitt and Nikki Crawford. The Panthers, led by Kyle McCann, were to take on the Chariton Chargers. Many activities were coordinated by the varsity cheerleaders Julie Weaver, Sarah Ewing, Jennifer Snider, Amanda Diers, Salina Jackson, Lyndsey Long, Melissa Heatherington, Jessica Brimm, Jody Shoenheir and Tiffany Abell with the help of co-advisers Kelly Hanson and Jean Ann Taylor.

Creston boxer Allen Smith was to take his 10-2 professional record into the ring again. Smith, the reigning Iowa Boxing Association’s supper middleweight champion was to fight a six round non-title bout at Super Toad Bar in Des Moines. Tickets were available from Smith at $35 per person.

OPINION Harvest time all the way around

The combines are out in full force bringing in all the corn and soybeans from the fields. The rainy year looks like it should make for some pretty good yields.

It looks like we should be in for some dry weather for the coming week, which should help get the crops out of the fields. Those combines with the great big heads seem like they make pretty fast work out of a field anymore.

Hunters harvest I’ve heard plenty of gunshots coming from the local goose pits.

It seems like there have been a lot of geese around the area this year.

We are kind of in between some of the duck seasons, but they start back up in about another week.

The dove hunters have also start-

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

ed. Deer hunters will also be starting up in about a week. At least the ones with guns instead of the cars picking them off as they go down the highway.

I was going down both the interstate and highway the other day and there were many deer that had bitten the dust already by the bumpers of cars. Hopefully some of the hunters will thin out the herd.

Travels I had a chance to head down to

Arizona to visit some relatives and friends last week. I think we must have brought the rain along with us. We had two days where we had a couple of good cloud bursts. Of course, the people down there will take every bit of rain they can get.

The first day we were there it was 104 degrees.

By the last day, it was only 88 for the high. We stayed out at a resort in the northwest part of Phoenix.

They look to be building houses as fast as they can put them up. My wife and I went gambling with my aunt and uncle. My lucky uncle hit a nice jackpot for $3,600 that day.

He was nice enough to take us out to dinner afterward.

Breakfast I see that you can now get break-

fast at any time of the day at McDonald’s. It’ll be interesting to see how this experiment works. I don’t think I’m up for an egg McMuffin for dinner. I think I’ll stick with my fish sandwich.

Columbus Day Monday is Columbus Day. Most businesses will be open, but some entities like the post office get the day off. If I remember right, most of the federal employees are working due to the fact they traded this holiday for Martin Luther King Day in January.

Holiday to Holiday Our annual Holiday to Holiday night out is coming up Oct. 26. You can get tickets for the event at the paper office. It’s a great night out with lots of local merchants in-

volved in showing off their wares.

Our week This is National Newspaper Week. The local paper here in Creston was started in 1879, so if my math is right we have been around for 136 years. That’s a lot of obits over the years!

You the readers and businesses in the area deserve a big thank you for keeping us going all these years. We enjoy covering the area and the people of southwest Iowa.

Also a big thank you to all our loyal employees and paper carriers.

Without them, we wouldn’t have a daily paper.

Iran is already breaking a bad nuclear deal Support amongst the American public has steadily eroded for the Iran nuclear deal. And it’s not just Republicans — public approval has shrunk across the board from Independents to Democrats alike.

In a recent Pew Research Center poll, Americans are opposed to the deal by an overwhelming two to one margin.

Earlier this month in the House of Representatives, we passed three pieces of legislation aimed to delay, scrap or have the deal renegotiated with teeth by the White House.

One resolution stated President Obama has not complied with the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act. That act states President Obama must provide all agreements to Congress. We know he hasn’t done that, because we know there is a secret side agreement between the International Atomic Energy Agency and Iran that Congress has not seen. I voted for the resolution.

We also went on the record, unlike the Senate, and voted to approve or disapprove the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (the Iran nuclear deal). It was soundly defeated. I voted to disapprove of the deal.

Finally, we passed a bill to suspend the authority of President Obama to waive or suspend the sanctions we have in place with Iran until January of 2017. The point here was to force President Obama to go back to the table and

U.S. Congressman David Young Republican

try and negotiate a better deal with teeth in it. I supported this bill.

I have said from the beginning, I want to see Iran come into the world community to be a peaceful partner. But let’s be realistic.

Iran has a track record of deceit, broken agreements and lies. They still chant death to America and are holding four Americans hostage. They do not recognize our strong ally Israel as a sovereign nation and are committed to its destruction. Since 1984, Iran has been identified as an official state sponsor of terrorism. Iran continues to be sympathetic to, and have supported, terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. And, just weeks ago Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for Israel’s destruction. This is all too disturbing.

And, sure enough, Iran has already begun scheming to change the terms of this flawed deal.

Days ago, it was reported Ayatollah demanded sanctions be lifted entirely — not just suspended — but entirely lifted. The news reported the Ayatollah went on to threaten “there will be no deal” unless this is done and further warned, “if sanctions are only suspended, Iran, in turn, will only ‘suspend’ nuclear activities cited in

the deal.”

Many Americans believe Iran negotiators already have the upper hand in the deal. Now it appears Iran wants even more.

This clearly raises the question — what’s next? Congress needs to continue to fight and push the White House to scrap this plan and work for a better deal. The State Department has outlined a plan to move ahead. They have indicated the deal will be formally adopted on Oct. 19.

Congress must remain diligent in working to stop this deal.

Leaders and my colleagues in the House are already discussing the possibility of legal action against President Obama’s administration because they have not complied with the provisions of the law in providing all side agreements to Congress. Congress will also keep fighting to strengthen the oversight of this deal to force Iran to be compliant. We can pursue reauthorizing the Iran Sanctions Act to stop foreign companies from investing in Iran’s oil and gas industries. And perhaps, most importantly, we must make clear to Iran and the world community that we stand with our ally Israel.

If Congress and the White House can send that message jointly, then we can maximize our credibility.

One thing is certain; we must keep fighting for a stronger deal and a more secure America and world.

5 easy fall home updates (BPT) — There are so many reasons to love fall.

From the brisk breeze and color-changing leaves outdoors, to prepping for the holidays and watching football inside, there couldn’t be a better time to make a few updates around your house.

Consider these simple fall home updates to stylishly welcome the season.

Paint to please Throughout the year, our walls can undergo stress from energetic kids, furniture moving and everyday traffic. If your home will be busy during the holidays, welcome guests with a newly painted entryway, or, freshen up your family room with a colorful accent wall. Painting is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to transform a room, so embrace the season and try a fall-inspired hue that harmonizes with your existing space like deep emerald green, royal purple or burgundy. Deep, rich paint colors are a top design trend of 2015, so the bolder the better. To achieve the best results, use FrogTape brand painter’s tape to attain sharp paint lines. FrogTape is treated with PaintBlock Technology, which seals the edges of the tape, preventing paint bleed. To help incorporate the color of the accent wall into the room, add d√©cor and accessories in similar shades throughout the area, such as new pillows in your family room or a coordinating rug in your entryway.

Clever copper accents

Group together the season’s leaves and branches to create a unique centerpiece, or place them throughout the house to bring life to your living areas. Crafting with fall foliage is a cinch simply gather an assortment of thick leaves, either real or faux - and after they’re rinsed and dried, spray each side of the leaf with copper paint and leave to dry for a few hours. Line these leaves up along a table runner, string them from your mantle or use them to dress up place settings. To extend the life of your metallic leaves, consider using them as place cards for holiday dinners. Easily allow guests to find their seats in shimmery style by placing printed nametags atop the leaves at each setting.

Freshen up the front door Increase your home’s curb appeal with a front door refresh just in time for the fall. For starters, give your door a new identity with a distinctive paint color - consider hunter green, colonial red or cognac. The color of your door introduces the world to those who live inside, so choose one that speaks to your family’s style. After you’ve added personality to your door with paint, add a final touch with your family’s monogram to the center of the door. If your door is metal, glue magnets to the back of the letters and it will easily adhere to it.

Proper party prep During the fall, more time will be spent in the home’s

Fear of frost?

Tips to keep your garden growing through fall’s chill (BPT) — As summer winds down and frost threatens, even avid gardeners may be tempted to pack up their trowels and call it a season. You may think it’s better to leave the victory garden gracefully, than risk the disappointment of watching crops wither in chilly temperatures. But fear of frost and failure don’t have to stop you from enjoying a fruitful fall garden. With the right plant choices and a few tricks, producing a hefty harvest can be easy.

A few facts about frost Frost occurs when temperatures drop enough to condense and freeze the moisture in the air. In fall, when air temperatures sink, it’s common to find frost layering the ground, leaves and crops. Frost may occur frequently in the fall before the ground really becomes frozen — known as a hard freeze.

While a hard freeze generally heralds the end of the growing season and frost can harm warm weather crops like oranges, some veggies actually do very well - and taste better when nipped by frost. By stocking your fall garden with frost-loving varieties, you can ensure your garden remains victorious and bountiful right up to the first hard freeze. Not sure when the hard freeze will occur in your region? Check out the USDA Freeze Map. When you consider the many advantages of fall gardening, frost shouldn’t be feared. Cooler temperatures mean you’ll have a more comfortable experience while working in the garden, and you’ll have fewer insect pests and weeds to deal with.

Frost-friendly choices

Just because the growing season is over for summer crops like tomatoes, you don’t have to give up gardening before the cold winter weather. Instead, clear out the remnants of summer plantings and debris and get the ground ready for fall favorites like spinach, cabbage, collards and kale.

These hearty, leafy vegetables - available from Bonnie Plants - actually like the chill weather and can stand up to some frost.

Certain root veggies, such as radishes and turnips, also do well in cooler temperatures. All are packed with nutrients, so you can plant them knowing you’ll be filling your dinner table with fresh, nutritious, great-tasting veggies this fall. For a list of fall-weather favorites, tips and harvest advice visit www.bonnieplants.com.

Get a good start When planning your fall garden, time is of the essence. Start with well-established, vigorous plants like those Bonnie Plants offers

5A

in some regions at garden retailers.

Starting out with more mature plants not only allows you to get your fall garden growing faster, it helps ensure your vegetables are strong enough to endure unexpected or extreme temperature variations.

And remember to choose short-season varieties that will produce quicker in fall’s shorter growing season.

When frost arrives Even though your fall vegetables might be able to handle the cold, you may want an extra layer of protection for unseasonably cool nights. Fortunately, you can do a lot to protect plants from sudden dips in temps.

Growing veggies in the right spot can make a big difference. Choose a location for your garden that gets plenty of sun, especially in the morning when you’ll want plants to quickly shake off overnight chill. Planting in a raised bed also helps insulate plants and their

tender roots from ground freezes. Container gardens are also great for fall; when a severe frost or hard freeze threatens, you can bring plants inside, overnight for protection.

Sometimes you may want to cover plants against extreme cold. One option is a cold frame. Typically constructed of wood and glass or plastic, the frame sits over plants like a portable mini greenhouse. You can build your own - an online search will yield plenty of how-to plans - or purchase a prefabricated one. For less severe situations, simply turning a pot or bucket upside down over tender young plants can be enough to shield them from cold.

When fall arrives, you don’t have to fear frost, or give up your garden. Success starts with choosing cold-hearty varieties that prosper and produce well in cool weather. Visit www. bonnieplants.com to learn more about fall vegetables.

and lotion pumps with new, coordinating options fitting for the season. If budget allows, replace your everyday towels with new, plush ones in fun fall colors that add a pop of color to the room.

Next, add candles with autumn-inspired scents for an aromatic effect that brings the outdoor aura indoors.

For subtle changes that go a long way, replace your bathroom hardware includ-

ing the toilet handle, cabinet pulls or hinges and towel racks.

The fall season is a great time to revitalize elements of your home as you prepare for indoor holiday entertaining. As you choose updates, make sure they maximize your personal style. For more information on FrogTape products, visit frogtape.com.

Backyard upgrades for A year-round oasis (Family Features) If you’re finding it difficult to say farewell to all the fun you enjoyed in your backyard this summer, now is the perfect time to make upgrades that let you enjoy your outdoor living space all year long.

When making changes to a comfortable and familiar setting such as your own backyard, it’s important to keep both aesthetics and function in mind. The following ideas let you achieve a stylish look while introducing new touches that make it possible to enjoy your backyard to the fullest, any time of year. * Extend your growing season - and lend a burst of color to the landscape - with a greenhouse that lets you continue to cultivate fresh veggies and flowers in a temperature-controlled environment. Work the house seamlessly into your backyard design by choosing from compact models that have about the same footprint as a sandbox (or even smaller) up to larger walk-in units the size of a detached shed. * Make your backyard oasis a true wellness retreat with a spa that offers therapeutic relaxation under the stars. Options such as the new Highlife Collection NXT line by Hot Spring Spas lend a striking addition to your space with meticulously crafted models that feature architecturally molded corners, elegant exterior lighting, and cabinetry with a rich wood- grain look. Created

by Designworks, a BMW Group Company, the elevated design of Highlife NXT spas - which appears

to float above the ground - delivers form and function with cutting-edge features, technology and options. * Nothing warms up a cool night like a toasty fire, and flames dancing in an open pit set a special ambiance for evening gatherings out back.

Options are limited only by your imagination: integrate a freestanding version into your existing patio layout, create a stone walkway across the yard to a seating area surrounding a fire pit ringed in stone, or introduce a whole new hardscape to your patio with a small built-in fireplace and chimney. * Full or partial patio enclosures offer a natural extension of your indoor space, affording the views and ambiance of the outdoor environment with protection from elements such as wind and rain. A wide range of options let you choose how close to nature you will be, from open-air pergolas that deflect precipitation to retractable screens and windows that keep brisk air at bay. * A lush landscape lends more than an appealing appearance to a yard. Strategically planted vegetation can serve functional benefits such as deflecting wind or providing a protective canopy overhead. Adding foliage that blooms late in the season or maintains its color year- round lends a fresh aesthetic, and you can draw birds and other wildlife all year long with plantings that offer both food and shelter.

Hints from Heloise and sunlight was their yellow brick road out. Good plan! — Heloise LEMON ICE CUBES Dear Heloise: I like fresh lemonade but don’t like to squeeze lemons each time. I buy several and squeeze all at once, then put the juice in icecube trays and freeze. When frozen, I put them in a sandwich bag or plastic container.

For me, one cube will make a 12-ounce glass of lemonade.

Just add sugar, water and ice, and enjoy! — Hilda R., Hamilton, Ohio TOILET-CLEANER TROUBLE Dear Heloise: I (as well as my husband) have trouble opening bottles and jars.

My real struggle is opening a bottle of toilet-bowl cleaner.

Safety is great, but if I can’t use it because I can’t open it, what a waste of time and money! — Carol F., Waynesville, Ohio I hear you! I have trouble with this, too. Try wearing rubber gloves, or use a damp

washcloth to help you grip the bottle better. It seems to help me get a good grip to hold and turn the lid. — Heloise WAX WRAPS Dear Heloise: When putting something in the microwave, to cover it I use lightweight, pre-cut wax wraps, like those used to pick up baked goods in a bakery. Paper towels are too absorbent. The wraps are large enough to cover most plates or other microwave containers. I buy them at the membership club. — Ellen H. in Louisiana ‘SEW’ HELPFUL Dear Heloise: To thread a sewing-machine needle more easily, spray a dab of hair spray on your fingers. Pull the thread through two fingers, then give the thread a fresh cut with scissors. The thread BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker will go right through. — Helen E., Seneca, S.C.

Horoscope Friday, Oct. 9, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is definitely a feel-good day, because the Moon is lined up with lucky Jupiter. In particular, you feel great at work.

This is also a great day to relate to pets or to buy a pet.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Have fun with friends today, because romance, vacations, the arts, playful activities with children and social schmoozing with your pals will please you. Go, go go!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Entertaining at home today is a great choice. This is a good day to check out real estate opportunities. Family activities will be fun.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Because you are in such a positive frame of mind today, you’ll enjoy schmoozing with others, especially siblings and relatives. Everyone will love your positive attitude.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Business and commerce are blessed today. Trust your moneymaking ideas. Some of you might travel for business as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a happy, positive day for you, because the Moon is in your sign lined up with lucky Jupiter. The only downside is that you might overdo something!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) It’s easy to have a warm feeling in your tummy today.

Furthermore, with the Sun in your sign, it’s your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Relations with friends or members of groups will go very well today. Reach out to others, because all these interactions will benefit you as well as others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a great day to make your pitch to the boss or to ask for approval for something. Everyone feels quite warmhearted toward each other, which means this is the day to act.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Do something different today! Travel, if possible.

At least be a tourist in your own city. Go someplace you’ve never been before.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an excellent day to decide how to share something

or to divide an inheritance.

People feel warmhearted and generous, which is a good way to begin.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Relations with others will be upbeat and fun today. Partners and close friends are in a good mood, and so are you.

Travel with a friend if you can, because you’ll have fun.

YOU BORN TODAY There is something about you that often inspires others. Perhaps it is your ability to observe others with a knowing eye. Many

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

Students Help Make a Mark in the Park

Recently the Creston Arts Council has been teaming up with the art students at Creston High School in order to paint the mural down at McKinley park. Although the Creston Arts Council is the mastermind behind the project, the students at CHS designed the mural at the end of last year and now this year’s students are finally painting the long awaited mural. A group of students last year collaborated to design the massive painting and based it around the artist Peter Max. Mrs. Fry-Schnormeier, the art teacher and president of the Arts Council, then sketched up the creation. “I am very proud of the kids and their collaboration. It’s been really amazing to see,” said Fry. The students at CHS are making an amazing headway into bringing more art into our community.

Horrifying Tales of Iowa

by Sabrina Lapcheske The nights are growing longer and darker as we approach All Hallows Eve, and the spirits stir beyond the veil of their other world. If you listen closely before going to sleep, you might notice the cackles and moans of those long past. But beware, if you listen too closely, the ghosts and ghouls of the netherworld might notice you, too. Reader, let me tell you of the places where you shouldn’t listen at all.

In Webster County years ago a mother took her three children on a walk over Tara Bridge. These children loved their mother and they loved to walk with her and watch the sun set. It was no surprise when she pulled them over to stand on the bridge and watch the sun. As it set behind the horizon it grew cold and the children began to shiver. They asked their mother if they could go home and just as she was about to answer, there was a blaring horn in the distance, signaling the oncoming train. She smiled down at them lovingly and said, “You won’t be cold for much longer, my dears.” They huddled close together and just as the train was about to pass beneath the bridge, the mother scooped up her children and tossed them over the edge, following close behind. It is said that if you drive over Tara bridge with your windows down or your car unlocked, she will drag you over as well.

If you’re still hungry for more tales of terror, residents of Union County will tell you of strange stories surrounding a so called ‘Hooker’s Farm.’ The old farm was located just east of Creston. They say that two teenage boys had gone out to terrorize the farmer late one night.

They snuck around his house, banging on windows and knocking over equipment, snickering to themselves. It wasn’t long before they noticed that the farmer hadn’t come out to chase them. The boys had begun to think that maybe he just wasn’t home when they heard the crunch of dried grass behind them. They turned and saw a man with a hook towering over them. The two boys turned to run, but it was too late.

The farm has since been abandoned. The local teens brave enough to go inside the old farm reported strange shadows and doors that opened and closed.

So, Reader, if you dare to listen to the howls from the trees, or the moans from the shadows, listen carefully. Do not become too curious, for Halloween fast approaches and the dead never forget.

The Student Pulse

A quick check on the start of one-to-one

By David Qualseth This school year the Creston High School. Moved into a One to One teaching style, which means that each student received a Chromebook to do all school work on and have complete access to the assignments, grades, and teachers from anywhere as wifi permits. After about a month of school we randonly polled students during lunch.

Sabrina Miller said, “Google Classroom would be easier to use if all the teachers knew who to use it,” echoing students’ comments on the time its taking to adapt.

The Chromebooks do have some limitations for softeware, “I wish we could use microsoft word. Its very inconvenient especially for college class,” said Ethan Madden.

Many students shared that they would rather have classes like Math and Spanish on paper since the odd numbers and letters are hard to replicate online.

However, there were students who said the Chromebooks make classwork easier, as noted in the poll below.

High stakes in Harlan-Creston/O-M clash here Friday Both teams vying for high playoff seeds

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

Arrieta

National Digest

Cubs win PITTSBURGH — Chicago Cubs starter Jake Arrieta pitched a complete-game shutout, extending his scoreless streak to 31 innings, as the Cubs blanked the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-0 in the National League wildcard game Wednesday.

He got support from rookie Kyle Schwarber, who quieted a raucous Pirates crowd with a mammoth, two-run home run to right field that left the park entirely in the third inning after earning an RBI single in the first.

The Cubs never looked back as Arrieta did what he does, though he hit two batters, leading to retaliation as Tony Watson hit him as he batted in the seventh. The benches cleared, there was some pushing and shoving, and Pirates infielder Sean Rodriguez was ejected.

Arrieta’s only jam came in the sixth, when he loaded the bases, but a hardhit ground ball to Addison Russell turned into the inning-ending double play, as second baseman Starlin Castro made a nice turn. Arrieta also induced a double play to end the seventh as well.

He gave up four hits and struck out 11.

So, now it’s a matter of settling for a fourth-place district finish and a likely trip to a district champion to open postseason play.

Or, improve your position and compete for a chance to open the playoffs at home.

That’s the task facing the Creston/O-M Panthers in Friday’s matchup with seventh-ranked Harlan at Panther Field.

While not mathematically assured of a playoff berth, at 2-1 in Class 3A District 8 and head-tohead tiebreaker wins already over two 1-3 teams behind them — Winterset and ADM — the Panthers seem to be in a good position even with the likes of state-ranked Harlan and Dallas Center-Grimes looming on the schedule before finishing against Atlantic (0-4, 1-5 overall).

Harlan (5-1) is tied with Creston/O-M at 2-1 in the district, while Glenwood and DC-G are tied at the top at 3-0. There are plenty of opportunities for shuffling positions among those top four in the final three weeks. Glenwood closes its regular season against Harlan and DC-G. “We still have everything on the table as far as what our kids wanted to do when the season started,” said Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison. “We can still meet those goals. That

being said, we have to just keep getting better as a football team. It doesn’t matter if you’re a one seed or a four seed, when it comes playoff time we have to be playing our best football and be healthy.

This is just another step forward and hopefully we’ll get there.”

Recent success

There is no longer a “mystique” about playing Harlan, which owned the series for decades with a 40-2 advantage until four years ago. Creston/O-M has won three of the last four meetings, including 35-20 last year when Harlan was struggling through an injury-plagued 3-6 season and the Panthers were on their way to a 10-3 state semifinal season.

However, the Cyclones have righted themselves and are one long punt return from being undefeated. Trey Washington’s 79-yard runback of a Harlan punt with two seconds left gave Dallas Center-Grimes a 28-21 victory in a game seemingly headed to overtime. (DCG is currently fifth on the Associated Press Class 3A poll, and Harlan is seventh. Glenwood is 11th.)

“I thought either team could have won that game,” Morrison said. “It was fair to say that game probably deserved to go overtime. Both teams competed really hard. Harlan had some crucial turnovers in that game that really

changed the tide.”

There are several reasons for Harlan’s revival in 2015, but most prominent is the health of senior quarterback Kyle Juhl.

After missing most of last season with injury, he has completed 44 of 84 passes for 711 yards and 10 touchdowns with two interceptions.

It’s also evident that Creston/O-M’s Chase Shiltz (1,067 yards and 20 touchdowns) and Harlan’s Nick Tarney — both juniors — are the district’s premier running backs.

Tarney (5-10, 210 pounds) has 650 yards and eight TDs in six games.

This Harlan squad is more physically mature with more of a big-play threat than the 2014 edition.

“They didn’t have a very big senior class last year,” Morrison sad. “There was not a lot of talent with that senior class. It’s tough to get by with that in 3A. Morrison That’s part of it. Their quarterback was hurt and that made them pretty much a one-dimensional team for a majority of the season. Usually Harlan runs the football to set up the play-action pass, and that’s what they are doing this year.”

Momentum

The Cyclones are riding some momentum, coming off a 34-13 victory over Winterset a week after a big performance against last-place Atlantic in a 69-7 victory. The Cyclones already broke 40 by the end of the first quarter of that game. Harlan set a new single-game high for points during Curt Bladt’s 38-year head coaching career.

“They are a pound the football offense with their running back and a very good good fullback, and then play-action the bomb,” Morrison said.

“The quarterback is super accurate, and it’s tough to get pressure on him in their scheme.”

Speedy junior Caleb Rasmussen, a cornerback last year, is one of Juhl’s primary receivers and Morrison likens his skills to that of Glenwood receiver Mavrick Decker. Another junior, Dillon Sears, is also a top receiver.

Six of Harlan’s top eight tacklers return to the defensive side.

“The thing about them is, they’re pretty good up front and not that many are going both ways, so they’re staying fresh,” Morrison said.

Creston/O-M is coming off a 38-21 road victory at Adel-DeSoto-Minburn, when Shiltz gained steam in the second half with a total of 239 yards rushing and four touchdowns.

Q u a r terback Moritz Johannknecht, w h o s e season stats are s i m i l a r Johannknecht to Juhl’s, was 9-of-17 passing for 56 yards and one TD. Shiltz also had two more interceptions, pushing his season total to six. He was rested quite a bit on offense in the opening half, by design, as Kolby Tomas and Mitchel Swank each rushed for 78 yards.

“He was hampered a little against Glenwood the week before, but mostly we’re just trying to preserve him,” Morrison said.

“Trying to keep him fresh.

We have guys who can run the football.”

Bladt has noticed the season put together so far by Shiltz, who is within 193 yards of Luke Shiltz Neitzel’s school single-season rushing mark of 1,260. Last year Shiltz came up 10 yards short.

“He’s probably carrying a little bit more of a load this year — he’s playing D-back too — so he’s Please see PANTHERS, page 10A

loss for Kirkwood

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

As far as regular season games go, it doesn’t get any bigger than Friday’s 7 p.m. game in Tabor, when EightMan District 8 titans Fremont-Mills and Lenox clash.

Both teams enter Friday’s contest undefeated at 6-0 overall and 4-0 in district play. The Knights are ranked fourth in Eight-Man, with Lenox moving up to seventh in the latest AP Poll.

“This is a big one. This is what you work for all year, to give your kids the opportunity to play for what we think is probably the district championship,” Lenox head coach Allen Dukes said.

“Whoever wins this game has the leg up on it. This is what it comes down to.”

Key matchup

One of the biggest matchups of the night will be the right side of Lenox’s offense against the left side of Fremont-Mills’ defense.

All of the key players in Friday’s game will be found in that matchup.

For Lenox, it includes 6-8, 240-pound end Spencer Brown, who has 14 catches for 159 yards and four touchdowns this year. The left side of Fremont-Mills’ defense includes Carter Jennings (20.5 total tackles) at defensive end and Sam Phillips (42 total tackles, 10 solo tackles for loss) at outside linebacker.

“They’re pretty well stacked on the left side, our right side,” Dukes said.

“Our right side is where Spencer Brown is. That’s going to be a matchup all night between Jennings and Phillips and Spencer.”

The other keys for the Knight defense are freshman middle linebacker Jae-

ger Powers (28.5 total tackles) and senior safety Parker Powers (29.5 total tackles, four interceptions).

Dukes said his team will need to run the ball well enough to draw Parker Powers closer to the line of scrimmage in order to open up the Lenox passing attack.

“Our offense is centered around Carson (Cline) and our running game, which we really haven’t got on track yet,” Dukes said. “We’ve been able to run it enough to open up our passing game. If we can run it just enough to bring their safety up a little bit, that’s going to open up our passing game.”

The Tigers lost receiver Dillon Bennett during last week’s win over East Mills to a broken leg. But the Tigers Bennett still have plenty of weapons at the disposal of

senior quarterback Carson Cline.

Bennett ranked third on the team with nine catches for 141 yards and four touchdowns. Running back Jared Hensley leads the team with 395 yards and six touchdowns on 13 catches.

Brown provides a big target for Cline. Sam Donaldson with a 64-yard touchdown catch and Dawson Tullberg (three catches for 54 yards and one touchdown) are also capable targets.

Cline is 40-of-71 passing for the year with 813 yards and 16 touchdowns, compared to just one interception. Donaldson, Hensley and Cline have each run for more than 300 yards and at least six touchdowns.

“They can’t just key on one person,” Dukes said.

“Most teams you know who is going to have the ball.

With us, it’s a variety.”

Two years ago, coach Melissa Blessington’s Southwestern team rose up and knocked off nationally-ranked Kirkwood to qualify for the NJCAA tournament.

Wednesday night, 13thranked Kirkwood was again the victim of the biggest Spartan victory since that 2013 regional final, and it was the biggest victory of Ting Liu’s two years as head coach.

Her Spartans got off to a good start and maintained enough momentum to hand the Eagles their first conference loss, 25-17, 15-25, 25-16, 15-25, 15-8.

The ICCAC Division II

standings tightened in the process, leaving Kirkwood in a first-place tie with fourthranked DMACC at 5-1, and 20-9 overall. Iowa Central is just a half-game back at 4-1.

No. 19 Iowa Lakes and 14thranked Northeast Nebraska are right behind at 3-2.

SWCC stands sixth in the league at 2-3, and 10-10 overall.

“Coach told us they were the first team in the conference after it was over,” said freshman setter Hanna Luther of Creston.

“We were p r e t t y Luther excited.

That was fun.”

Luther finished with 37 setting assists, four digs and three kills.

Liu said she saw potential in her young team (three sophomores) in some previous narrow defeats to ranked

teams, such as a 3-2 loss at Northeast.

“We lost a couple games in five against national ranking teams,” Liu said. “We thought our girls had the potential, we just had to show it.

Tonight they did.”

All-region outside hitter Carmen Subbert of Stanton said it’s a step forward for a team that struggled to a record of 10-28 (2-6 conference) her freshman season.

“I definitely feel like we’re making an impression this year,” Subbert said. “Our team chemistry is better this year. I feel like we communicate better than we did last year. We’re getting excited more.”

Luther, likewise, cited the energy on the court that carried the team through some excessively long rallies with the talented Eagles. Southwestern won a majority of those Wednesday, including one long rally that included Please see SPARTANS, page 12A

Unpredictable

Bladt said preparing for co-coach Ryan McKim’s Panther offense is difficult, because there’s much more involved than handoffs to Shiltz.

“Offensively they’re pretty darn tough,” Bladt said. “They move the ball well. They can run, they can pass, they can do a lot of things. They’ve got screens, backs out ... just when you think you’ve got to stuff it up the middle they get you with something on the edge.”

The Panthers’ young formidable line has also impressed the legendary Cyclone coach.

“That number 74 (6-5, 290-pound Trevor Downing) is a little scary for a soph- Downing omore,” Bladt said.

“He’ll be a good one.”

Both coaches have the same game plan for success Friday night.

“We’ve got to be able to move the ball, keep it in our possession, make them go long distances,” Bladt said. “We just have to be patient, and we’ve got to keep plugging, and hopefully they’ll make some mistakes along the way.”

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Beginning of a career slip for Jimmie Johnson?

GODSPEAK: Yes, cracks in the cookie jar for J.J. Six titles?

Not bad.

KEN'S CALL: Yes. I think. But there are some resources at Hendrick, you know.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED AT DOVER

To the Dover garage, alone, was a bad sign.

ASSOCIATED PRESS/NICK WASS

Jimmie Johnson? Out? Pick your time-honored cliché to explain the elimination of the six-time champ from the Chase: A. That’s racin’; or B. It’s just one of them deals. But it appears that Jimmie’s team has a lot of work to do before 2016.

Has your original championship pick changed yet?

GODSPEAK: I think I went with Brad Keselowski, but those Gibbs drivers have the numbers.

KEN'S CALL: I'm sticking with Joey Logano. Until further notice, of course.

So it’s not just a fluke?

Sunday at Dover was a bit of a fluke — a bad axle seal was the culprit. But remember, since Jimmie's last win, on May 31, the No. 48 finished outside the top 10 seven times in 16 starts, with three of those top-10s being finishes of ninth or 10th.

Tony Stewart has 48 career wins.

How many will he retire with?

GODSPEAK: Throw 2015 out the window and I say he gets to 51.

KEN'S CALL: I'm going out on a limb and say 49.

Gambling in Vegas?

Yes, there are still unprotected concrete walls out there, and NASCAR Truck Series driver Austin Theriault found one Saturday night. The Cup Series returns to Las Vegas next March, and hopefully Vegas stops this crazy roulette game by then. And by the way, Theriault should send thanks to the HANS folks. This would’ve been much worse than a lower back fracture without a HANS.

The air smells a little better, even if it is filled with confetti and smoke, after winning a Chase race. Just ask Dover winner Kevin Harvick. RAINIER EHRHARDT/NASCAR VIA GETTY IMAGES

1. Winning cure

2. Send a message

3. Outta here

After two stinky outings in the Chase, Kevin Harvick showed that even when you are down, you are not out. His must-win at Dover propelled the defending Cup champion to Round 2. “To be able to pull this off is just one of those moments that you enjoy,” Harvick said.

Harvick’s overpowering victory at Dover was a cannon's blast over the bow of the Chase championship. Other drivers just shook their heads in disbelief. “We have a lot of room to gain to catch that No. 4 car,” Kyle Busch said. “He was lightning-fast.”

The biggest surprise of the Dover race was the failure of six-time champion Jimmie Johnson, who finished 41st and was cast out of the playoffs. A faulty axle seal was the culprit. “It’s just part of racing,” Johnson said.

“You can’t take anything for granted.”

— Godwin Kelly, godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com FEUD OF THE WEEK

3 THINGS TO WATCH 1. Who has momentum?

Aside from the obvious (Mr. Harvick), Kyle Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr., who finished 2-3, spring to mind. Both were hovering around the cut line.

“Hopefully we don’t make any more mistakes and make it too hard on ourselves to try to get to that next round,” Earnhardt said.

2. Auf Wiedersehen Auf what? If you don’t know German or never watched “The Sound of Music,” the term means “goodbye.” The

drivers from the original Sweet 16 failed to make the cut. But they're still out there, and a win from Jimmie Johnson would get him pointed back in the right direction for next year.

3. Watch MWR teams Dale Earnhardt Jr. looks much more relaxed now that he has transferred into Round 2 of the NASCAR Chase. He is one of the drivers carrying momentum into Charlotte. ROBERT LABERGE/GETTY IMAGES

NASCAR Chase field got a little lighter because four

Now that Michael Waltrip Racing is out of the Chase (Clint Bowyer wound up last in first-round points), it will be interesting to see how the team responds the rest of the season. MWR has a life span of seven weeks before it closes its doors for good. Do they sprint or limp to the end?

Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Jamie McMurray

JAMIE MCMURRAY VS. DALE EARNHARDT JR.: This isn’t as much a feud as a disappointment, since Junior nipped Jamie on points for the last Chase position.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: These guys were hugging on pit road after the Dover race, so I don’t think there is any ill will that can make a mess.

DID YOU KNOW?

The first NASCAR race at Charlotte Motor Speedway was the 1960 World 600, won by Joe Lee Johnson. It was one of just two career wins for Johnson, whose career was brief — 55 starts between 1956-62. He also had two career wins in NASCAR's convertible division, both in 1959.

Friday will be avoiding turnovers and chewing up clock to keep the Fremont-Mills offense off the field.

Knight attack

Phillips, a junior, leads the Fremont-Mills offense and has played the role of hero the past two weeks for the Knights in close wins over East Mills and Stanton.

Phillips, who has taken the reigns at quarterback, has completed 52.6 percent of his passes for 681 yards and 12 touchdowns with just two interceptions.

But his first goal is to run the ball. Phillips has 10 touchdowns and 551 rushing yards on 65 carries.

“The first thing when you watch them on film, they’re not as big as they have been the last few years,” Dukes said. “The thing they still have is speed. Sam Phillips and Parker Powers, those guys have a lot of speed. We have to try to match them and slow them down.”

Parker Powers is Phillips’

SPARTANS: Continued from page 9A

a pair of sharp attacks by Subbert, ending with a block

by Luther. Libero Krechele Brown saved many would-be Kirkwood kills with her 22 digs.

“We’ve really been working on talking a lot and keeping our energy,” Luther said.

“We really put that into play tonight. At one point in the game they (Kirkwood) started yelling at each other and we picked up on that.”

Kirkwood coach Jill Williams gave credit to an improved Spartan squad for standing up to the challenge after her team tied the match 1-1 with the convincing 25-15 victory. Southwestern answered with the 25-16 set to go ahead 2-1.

“We got up on them a few times, but they didn’t’ lose their composure,” Williams said. “They kept fighting back. They didn’t have anything to lose. They said, ‘Let’s go for it.’ And they did.”

Williams noted the outside hitting attack of the Spartans Wednesday, and part of that was the result of a lineup switch employed by Liu. “Brooke Decker was a middle hitter and now she’s

favorite target with 17 catches for 308 yards and seven touchdowns. He has also carried the ball 22 times for 146 yards.

Identifying him on the field will be a key for the Tiger defense.

“Parker Powers, they line him up everywhere,” Dukes said. “He may be in the backfield, he may be in the slot, he may be a wideout. They’re going to try to get him the ball any way they can. For Sam not being a quarterback, he really does a nice job throwing the ball. They can stretch the field on you. You have to be on your toes.”

Jennings, a transfer from Nishnabotna, provides the Knights with another receiving threat, having caught 13 passes for 234 yards and three touchdowns.

Tiger defenders will need to be ready for anything, as Phillips likes to start running and then drop back to pass, allowing Powers to get behind opposing defenses.

Dukes said his team will need to put pressure on Phila right side hitter,” Liu said.

“Marie Palmer switched from the right side to the middle.

We did this to get both of them more hits.”

Luther said the switch plays to the strengths of both Decker, a 6-foot freshman from Muscatine, and Palmer, the 6-2 freshman from Corning.

“Brooke is such a powerhouse on the outside. It’s nice having her there as an option,” Luther said. “Marie in the middle, she’s quick and such a big blocker for us there.”

Subbert also likes the change, which takes some of the opponent’s attention away from her on the opposite side. Luther directs the attack with her setting.

“Hanna hustles for every ball and you know she’s giving it her all,” Subbert said. “She did a nice job switching it up, giving it up to the outside and the right side. She makes pretty smart decisions.”

Another outside hitter, sophomore transfer Xuntong “Wendy” Zhang, was hot Wednesday with 16 kills while Subbert had a team-high 17.

Madison Walston had eight and Decker finished with six.

“Wendy played smart tonight,” Liu said. “Not a lot of hitting errors.”

Brittany Langendoerfer

lips, while also containing him.

“We can’t let him get out there and get started (running), or it could be a long night,” Dukes said. “Our line has to put pressure on him.

We have to force him to do things he doesn’t want to do.

I think if Spencer and Sam do their jobs, containing on the outside plus putting pressure on him, that’s going to open up our linebackers and nose guard to make some plays on the inside.”

In other Eight-Man action on Friday, East Union (4-2, 1-1) hosts Guthrie Center (15, 0-3) at 7 p.m. in its homecoming game. An Eagle win would clinch a playoff berth for East Union.

In Class A District 8, Mount Ayr (4-2, 4-0) can set up an undefeated matchup next week against Pleasantville by defeating Earlham (4-2, 3-1) at 7 p.m. Friday on senior night in Mount Ayr. A win would also give Mount Ayr a leg up in the race for a home playoff football game in the first round.

The Raiders feature six players who have rushed for more than 100 yards this season.

“That makes us pretty tough to defend,” Mount Ayr co-coach Delwyn Showalter said. “It keeps our guys fresh.

They’re not getting banged around and pounded play after play. We’re able to bring in fresh legs on every series.

You can’t key on any one of our players. Having that many people available to us, I think, is huge.”

Also in Class A District 8, Nodaway Valley’s playoffs continue when the Wolverines travel to Martensdale-St. Marys. The Wolverines must beat the Blue Devils and win at home against Southeast Warren next week to give themselves a chance to qualify for the playoffs in the final week of the season against Bedford.

In Class 2A District 8, Southwest Valley (1-5, 0-3) travels to eighth-ranked Van Meter (5-1, 3-0). The Timberwolves also need a win in order to keep their playoff hopes alive.
