By CARTER ECKL CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com
A possible bomb threat at Corning Elementary and Southwest Valley High School was reported cleared as of Wednesday afternoon by the Adams County Sheriff’s office. According to a statement from the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, around 11:40 a.m. dispatch received a call from Corning Elementary, regarding a reported bomb threat. “Adams County Dispatch received a call from the Corning Elementary School regarding a bomb threat. An individual had called the Elementary and stated they’d heard of a bomb threat, but they were not sure which building the bomb was in,” read the statement.
The statement goes on to say that no such threat was ever made. “While speaking with the original caller, it was determined that they’d received a phone call from a family member and were informed of a school lockdown and bomb threat on the radio. Upon further investigation, the school lockdown they were informed of happened at the Shenandoah Schools earlier on this morning. “There was not a threat made toward Southwest Valley Schools. This information was not learned until the schools were evacuated and dismissed for the day.” Southwest Valley Schools Superintendent Willie Stone told the News Advertiser in a statement that the school handled the incident effectively, but will continue to plan for any similar
scenarios moving forward. “We have things we are going to work on,” said Stone. “We’re going to debrief with the Adams County Sheriff and emergency medical services people so that we can be better at it next, so we can make sure we are more prepared.” As far as procedure Wednesday, Stone felt the school handled the situation well.
“IT’S NOT something you ever want to plan for, but you need to have a plan for.”

“After finding out we were all clear, we all felt
it was a great test to see where we are at,” said Stone. “It’s not something you ever want to plan for, but you need to have a plan for.” Stone thanked the support of first responders who set up a perimeter and cleared the scene. Local law enforcement didn’t locate anything they believed to be a threat. Both schools went on lockdown after receiving word of the reported threat before students were eventually released early. All school buildings were reopened by 4 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, allowing students to retrieve their vehicles and any possessions they may have left behind. All Villisca schools remained in session and students were not released.
The Southwestern Community College (SWCC) Board of Trustees heard its annual report on the state legislature during Tuesday’s regular meeting. The Iowa State Legislature ended its 2017 session in April. Next year’s session begins Jan. 8, 2018. Briefing the board was Dave Palmer, legislative consultant for the Iowa Association of Community College Trustees (IACCT), and registered lobbyist Jerry Fitzgerald. Palmer first delivered to the board some good news with regard to budgets. “Last year,” said Palmer, “if you looked at what the governor slated for cuts to us (community colleges) and how we came out, we did extremely well. “And I know,” Palmer said, “when you get cut, it’s hard to spin it as good, but if you think of in total the swing in fiscal year ‘18 was $13 million, we saved quite a bit. So we did very well, and we’ll do very well again this year.” Then delivered to the board was the less-good news, explained by lobbyist and former lawmaker Jerry Fitzgerald. “We’re going to have a trouble-budget year this year,” said Fitzgerald. “We don’t know how much yet — they won’t know until January. The December REC (state revenue estimate)
“THEY’RE going to have to deal with it during the regular session. And what that means is we’re going to have some issues.”

again, will matter more than we want it to matter. So that’s going to be a big issue. “We know they’re (the legislature) in trouble,” continued Fitzgerald. “We thought they might have a special session, but they actually got some July money in, in June, and so they didn’t have to have a special session. So they’re going to have to deal with it during the regular session. And what that means is we’re going to have some issues.” Fitzgerald then fielded questions from the board with regard to a variety of legislative issues. Primarily discussed was state tax credits and property taxes. According to Fitzgerald, in next year’s legislative session, the legislature will likely address or at least attempt to address both the tax credit issue, and changing how “backfill” property taxes are allocated. Backfill property taxes are funds that cities, and entities like SWCC that benefit from public funds, might be SWCC | 14A

Today is Oct. 12, the 285th day of the year. So, there are 80 days left in 2017. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Oct. 9-15) in history:
10 years ago Diagonal residents showed up and crowded into a packed city hall to show support for actions taken by the mayor and city council in efforts to clean up some properties in town. People that were unable to attend sent letters of support to be read saying they appreciated the efforts of the council. Southwestern Community College Board received good news – the college had record-breaking enrollment again. Director of Student Services Bill Taylor said the final fall enrollment was 1,467, a 6 percent increase from the 2006 total of 1,383. Astronaut Peggy Whitson, 47, was scheduled to take off for outer space for the second time. She was making history as she became the first woman to command the international space station. Creston resident Flossie Roberts had a single very healthy cotton plant growing in her garden at 815 N. Spruce St. The plant had become a point of pride as a decoration in her garden, dwarfing the rest of the plants.

With 185 workers, the remaining were urged to report as quickly as possible. Businesses, industries and schools reported contributions of $6,996.75. The House wanted to cut spending, but President Johnson wanted a tax hike passed for pay raises. Postal rate increases was to support some of the raises of 4.5 percent for federal workers.

Trump lashes out at Puerto Rico as House weighs aid package WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump lashed out at hurricane-devastated Puerto Rico on Thursday, insisting that federal help will be limited and blaming the U.S. territory for its financial struggles. The broadside came as the House headed toward passage of a $36.5 billion disaster aid package, including assistance for Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico has been reeling since Hurricane Maria struck three weeks ago, leaving death and destruction in an unparalleled humanitarian crisis. Forty-five deaths in Puerto Rico have been blamed on Maria, 90 percent of the island is still without power and the government says it hopes to have electricity restored completely by March. Trump tweeted: “We can-

This is blatant discrimination.” Voters in Clarke County were getting another chance to vote for legalized gambling after opponents dropped a lawsuit. Officials scheduled a referendum for Nov. 18, two days before the gambling commission was to decide on the application for a gambling license to run a floating casino in Osceola. Singer John Denver, whose ‘70s hits such as ‘Rocky Mountain High” and Take Me Home, Country Roads” gained him millions of fans worldwide, was killed when his experimental plane crashed into Monterrey Bay.

not keep FEMA, the Military & the First Responders, who have been amazing (under the most difficult circumstances) in P.R. forever!” In a series of tweets, the president said “electric and all infrastructure was disaster before hurricanes.” He blamed Puerto Rico for its looming financial crisis and “a total lack of accountability.” Democrats said Trump’s attacks were “shameful,” given that the 3 million-plus U.S. citizens on Puerto Rico are
confronting the kind of hardships that would draw howls of outrage if they affected a state. One-third of the island lacks clean running water and just 8 percent of its roads are passable, according to government statistics. “It is shameful that President Trump is threatening to abandon these Americans when they most need the federal government’s help,” said Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer, the second-ranking House Democrat.

Secretary of State Pate to conduct Iowa Youth Straw Poll Nov. 1 DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate is conducting the 2017 Iowa Youth Straw Poll Wednesday, Nov. 1, in hundreds schools across Iowa. The goal of the straw poll is to engage students in a hands-on learning experience that will inspire them to participate in their community. Poll questions will include whether cities should allow the use and sale of fireworks, favorite school subject, favorite state university and favorite superhero. More than 230 schools and 40,000 students across Iowa have already registered to take part in the straw poll, and every school in the state is welcome to join. Statewide results will be announced Nov. 1 by the Secretary of State’s office. “This is an excellent way to let students make their voices heard and see what it is like to be a voter,” Pate said. “Since city elections take place on Nov. 7, this will be an excellent prelude to that important vote and hopefully the kids can inspire their parents to turn out and vote on Nov. 7.” Pate wants every public school, parochial school and
homeschooling student in the state to participate in the straw poll. Youth groups, such as 4-H, Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts are welcome to take part as well. The Iowa Youth Straw Poll is a facet of “Elections 101,” a free online curriculum developed by Pate and written by Iowa teachers for Iowa students. The Iowa Department of Education and Iowa Council for the Social Studies support the Iowa Youth Straw Poll. “Students are best positioned to learn when they participate in real-world activities,” Iowa Department of Education Director Ryan Wise said. “The Iowa Youth Straw Poll is an excellent opportunity to teach our kids about the principles of democracy while building the skills they need to be engaged citizens.” During last year’s straw poll, held Nov. 1, 2016, the results of the students’ vote aligned with the official results for the presidential, U.S. Senate and all four congressional races in the state. A full list of the schools that have signed up so far for

OPINION
Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, October 12, 2017
Harvest is getting a little bit of delay due to the rains Of course we had a drought all summer long, and now when it is time to bring in the crops, we start getting lots of rain. I know a lot of farmers start to get worried when we get several inches strung out in two or three day intervals. There’s nothing like well-placed rains to slow down the harvest. I’m sure many farmers are asking where was the rain back in June and July. I guess many of the farmers in the area will just have to be a little patient this year on getting in the crops.
Freeze We haven’t had a good freeze yet this year. For Creston, we usually get a good freeze by Oct. 6, which is the average. According to the future cast of weather, we are not even looking for a chance of freeze until around Oct. 25. It’s kind of one of those years weather wise, where if you don’t
What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher like the weather right now just wait a bit and the weather gods will come up with a new plan. Watch the first snow show up on Thanksgiving with about 10 inches of the white stuff hitting us in the face.
Friday the 13th Tomorrow is Friday the 13th with a few big sales around town to mark the event. It is only the second Friday the 13th of the year, with the last one way back in January. I’m not sure too many people take stock in the old superstition of bad luck going around on that day. “Just keep your fingers crossed.”

Gummies I’m sorry to see the Ferrara plant closing coming up in December. The folks have been good providers of jobs in the community over the past 30 years or so. They have also been good corporate citizens in giving out gummies for lots of parades and events around town, plus lots of nice baskets for many fundraisers over the years. Hopefully all the employees that lost their jobs there will be able to find a new job in short order. There seem to be many places looking for good employees in the area. I heard of several local
employers that wouldn’t mind having a couple of new employees. We have several businesses already advertising for any of the laid off workers. The low unemployment rate is making it hard on many businesses to find good, dependable employees.
High Lakes There was a great turnout for the High Lakes dinner and auction last Thursday at Three Mile Lake. The event made more than $30,000 that will be spent in Union County on lots of various outdoor projects. I know a large addition of new walleyes were deposited in Green Valley Lake this past week. I have also heard reports that the new walleye in Three Mile Lake are already getting into the 15-17 inch range during their first year of growth. That clean water in the lake sure helps them grow quick.
Bosses Day Monday, Oct. 16, is National Bosses Day, another Monday holiday. Although, I’m sure 99 percent of the bosses will be working. I don’t think it is a national holiday yet. It wouldn’t hurt you to give “Thanks” to your boss. They have feelings too you know!
Tom Petty I’m lucky I got to see Tom Petty in concert a few months ago in Des Moines. I grew up listening to him and the Heartbreakers. He will be missed in the rock ‘n’ roll world. It was to be his last major national tour before retiring. He was also part of the Traveling Wilburys, a group made of several famous musicians. Tom and his music will be missed. Thought for the week: “Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.” – Henry James
Hollywood’s predator HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody? Harvey Weinstein was fired from The Weinstein Company he founded, after 16 Hollywood actresses came out and accused him of sexual harassment. His behavior only left two options. Weinstein had to be either fired from the Weinstein Company or elected President of the United States. Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was exposed in the New Yorker Monday as a serial sexual harasser of women, with tape recordings of his misconduct. Still, he did get some good news. General Foods just hired Harvey Weinstein to be their TV commercial spokesman for Jell-O Pudding. The New Yorker reported a cascade of sexual harassment accusers against Harvey Weinstein Tuesday. One thing is clear. The days are over for entitled producers, business executives and politicians to expect sex for favors and access. They’re going to have to learn to beg like the rest of us. The New Yorker listed 16 Hollywood actresses Tuesday who say they have been the recipient of unwanted sexual advances from Harvey Weinstein, but some gave in to Harvey. One actress was asked why she continued having sex with him, and her reply was simple. And give up show business?
Topical humor Argus Hamilton
Hillary Clinton waited five days after the Weinstein scandal broke before saying she’s shocked and disgusted by the news of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual misconduct. She did NOT volunteer to give back his huge donation to the Clinton Foundation. Hillary said she was shocked, not electrocuted. Hollywood Democrats quickly tried to turn the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal into a critique of President Trump and dug up his past accusers. It never ends. Hollywood is the only place where you’re awarded a doctorate in political science after completing your third movie. President Trump implied war against North Korea is imminent if Kim doesn’t surrender his nukes. Trump’s betting that Kim would rather give up his nukes and keep his teenage harem, his cocaine, Viagra, and ESPN sports package rather than die this month. We were all 28 once. President Trump got into a Twitter war with Tennessee GOP Senator Bob Corker, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and who announced he will be retiring from the Senate next year. The sena-
tor is a man of unquestioned integrity and honesty. So he ruins the curve for everybody. Donald Trump’s first wife Ivana claimed in an ABC interview Monday that she’s the real first lady, which drew a rebuke from Trump’s third wife Melania. Second wife Marla Maples refused comment. Everyone agrees this is the greatest season of the Real Housewives of the White House ever. Italian neurosurgeon Dr. Canavero will perform the world’s first head transplant surgery in December. Connecting the spinal cord is the key. The human brain works 24 hours a day, every day and every night, from the moment you’re born until the moment you enter the voting booth. Tom Petty was honored Saturday when the entire stadium at the University of Florida sang his hit song, “I Won’t Back Down” together during the halftime show. It gets better. During the song, the maids who clean up the rooms at the Hard Rock took a knee and locked arms in protest. ESPN suspended anchor Jemele Hill for tweeting NFL viewers to boycott Cowboys gameday TV sponsors over the anthem. Let it go. The only reason we’ve come this far in race relations is because Martin Luther King Jr. was too smart to demand NFL fans choose between beer and civil rights.

Send the fire truck In a small town, the local police chief also served as part of the volunteer fire department. His job was to answer the phone and in the event of a fire was to ring the fire bell to summons all the volunteer firemen in the county. One morning, the phone rang and the chief answered, “Fire department.” Out of the ear phone came the terrified voice of a woman yelling, “Hurry, send the fire truck,” but immediately hang up the phone. The chief sat there stunned. “Send it where?” In a very few minutes, the phone rang again, and the chief again answered, “Fire department.” Once more, in hysterical cries, the voice on the other end of the phone cried, “Hurry! Hurry! Send the fire truck,” and again immediately hung up the phone. The chief was even more perturbed. He ran out into the street and surveyed the scene for a full 360 degrees, looking for smoke. 9:15 a.m. Mass - St. Malachy School; noon to 5 p.m. ReRun shop; 6:30 p.m. confirmation class - St. Malachy School; 6:45 p.m., RE classes - St. Malachy School.

No smoke. Where was the fire? Whose house was going up in flames? Were there children who were in danger? All these things flitted through his mind. He heard the phone rang again, and on the way back to the station office, he devised a way to keep the lady on the phone long enough to find where to send the fire truck. He grabbed the phone, and yelled, “Where’s the fire?” The voice on the other end returned the yell by saying, “In the kitchen!” and promptly hung up the phone once more. So much of what is called religion is a lot like this humorous situation. Insufficient information leaves people insufficiently informed and the lack of information promotes nothing but insufficient confusion. Only the full truth of God satisfies every situation in life. It is by “every word” that comes from God’s mouth, that our Lord says life in him is possible. ~ from www.vscoc.org/Bulletinfdr/bulletin_fodder.htm OF CHRIST, 601 S. Maple St., Rick Titus, pastor.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE
Dear Heloise: Is there any way to tell whether RAW MEAT IS TENDER by looking at it? Does the price have a lot to do with it, or the type of meat or how it’s prepared? – Jack M., Little Rock, Ark. Jack, look at the marbling in beef, which is the fat that runs through the meat. Generally, the more marbling the cut of beef has, the more tender and flavorful it will be. However, the grade of meat can make a difference, too. There’s prime, which usually is found only in hotels or restaurants and is heavily marbled. Then come choice, select and commercial. Look for the U.S. Department of Agriculture shield on the package to determine if a USDA inspector has graded the meat. A cheaper cut of beef can be marinated to help make it more tender, but remember to cook it slowly, at the right temperature, and cut across the grain. – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-
5000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise. com MEATLOAF MUFFINS Dear Heloise: When I make meatloaf, I use the instant onion soup packets. Instead of making it in a pan, I make the meatloaf in muffin tins. When the meatloaf is finished, I give each of our neighbors some of the meat muffins, and they, in turn, make some side dishes, which they share with other neighbors. – Susan B., via email CAN STORAGE Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Maui (Hawaii) News. We need to store unopened canned goods and water (at room temperature) in the tropics during hurricane season. How long can these goods be stored safely? Mahalo! – K.C., Kihei, Maui Aloha, K.C.! For canned goods, it’s always best to look for the expiration date stamped on the can. However, never store cans above a stove or under a sink, or any other place that’s damp.
SUDOKU
High-acid foods, such as tomatoes, will keep at their best quality for 15 to 18 months. Low-acid foods, such as meat and vegetables, usually will last two to five years. NEVER use food from a can that leaks or is bulging, or from cracked jars. Water can be stored safely in jugs that have been washed with soap and hot water, then sanitized with 1 tablespoon bleach to 1 quart of water. Rinse well with plain water. You should keep a four- to six-day supply of drinking water. Store in a dry, fairly cool place, and water will keep for over a year. Don’t drink it if it smells bad or becomes “milky.” – Heloise KEEPING IT GREEN Dear Heloise: Because I live alone and a bag of greens lasts a long time, I layer the bottom of a container with paper toweling, a portion of the greens on that, and make another layer of paper towels and greens until full. I have kept greens fresh and edible for two weeks! – Ruth B., via email (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

NATIONAL DIGEST
Iowa state named FWAA National Team of the Week AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State football team was named the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) National Team of the Week following its victory over previously-unbeaten No. 3 Oklahoma in Norman. This marks the fifth time that Iowa State has earned this recognition since its inception in 2002. The Cardinal and Gold were an easy nod for the committee this week. The Cyclones toppled No. 3 Oklahoma 38-31. The win was Iowa State’s first in Norman since 1990 and the first victory over an AP top-5 opponent on the road. ISU also snapped an 18-game losing streak against the Sooners.
Yanks complete comeback, beat Indians 5-2 in Game 5 of ALDS CLEVELAND (AP) — These young Yankees were unshaken, resilient and as tough as the city they represent. The baby Bronx Bombers have grown up fast. Didi Gregorius, following in the October footprints left by Derek Jeter, homered twice off Corey Kluber as New York beat the Cleveland Indians 5-2 in Game 5 on Wednesday night to complete its comeback from a 2-0 deficit in the Division Series and dethrone the AL champions. The bend-but-don’tbreak Yankees, way ahead of schedule, staved off elimination for the fourth time in this postseason and advanced to play the Houston Astros in the AL Championship Series starting Friday night at Minute Maid Park. With a blend of young stars and older veterans coming up big, the Yankees rocked Cleveland and bailed out manager Joe Girardi, who failed to challenge a key call in a Game 2 loss that threatened to sabotage New York’s season. “These guys had my back and they fought and fought,” Girardi said. “They beat a really good team. What those guys did for me, I’ll never forget it. “ The Yankees went 2-5 against the AL West champion Astros, led by 5-foot-6 dynamo and MVP candidate Jose Altuve. But none of that matters now to this group of New Yorkers. After winning twice at home, and after Girardi said he “screwed up” and felt horrible about it, the Yankees — with little offensive help from rookie star Aaron Judge — came into Progressive Field and finished off the Indians, who won 102 games during the regular season, ripped off a historic 22-game YANKS | 8A

Panthers & Tigers claw for position in race for first district win ■ Creston/O-M
travels to Adel looking for first Class 3A District 7 win By CARTER ECKL CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com
Two teams that have yet to notch their first district win will have a chance Friday night as the Creston/O-M Panthers will travel north to take on the Adel-DeSoto-Minburn Tigers. The two teams share equal 1-6, 0-5 records with each respective win coming in week two. Creston/O-M handled Clarinda at home while A-D-M picked up a win due to a forfeit after it was found that its opponent played with an ineligible player. The Panthers first priority on defense will be containing Tiger quarterback Matthew West. West has nearly
1,000 total yards accounted for on the season with 6 combined touchdowns. C/O-M Head coach Brian Morrison is well aware that A-D-M’s offensive scheming revolves around the mobile senior QB. “They run the option with him, they run the zone read with him,” said Morrison. A-D-M will line up with four or five wide receivers at a time, leaving the Tigers with plenty of options to get down the field as well. B u t , West has the ability to run if the field opens up. Morrison “ H e gets a lot of his yards when people are covered and he just goes,” said Morrison. “So yeah, containing him will be critical.”
8th graders face Glenwood GLENWOOD — Creston won one of nine sets in action against Glenwood on Thursday. Glenwood defeated Creston Red 253, 25-9, 15-3. The Rams then bounced Creston Black 25-11, 25-11, 15-10. Glenwood did not get a sweep against Creston White, prevailing 25-12, 25-18, 6-15. “Glenwood has a good team that can serve hard,” said Creston coach Traci Haley. “They received the all well and could then attack the ball. It wasn’t our best night on the court as we struggled in our serve receive. We really need to communicate more and move to get in position to get our passes up to target. The few times that we did get it to target we were able to have a good attack.” Creston Red

Bar none, tackling in open space will be the key for the Panthers. Last year, Chase Shiltz and company carried the rock for 466 yards on the ground in a 42-7 win over the Tigers. Though the Panther ground game hasn’t been as explosive this year, Morrison again emphasized Creston/O-M will give itself more options if they can establish the run. Long third downs have limited the Panthers offensively. Effective first and second downs will be the catalyst to moving the football downfield. Making third-and-short is a priority for the Panthers, according to Morrison. “I think the telltale sign of this entire season has been getting ourselves in situations where we are trying

AREA FOOTBALL PREVIEW By KALEB CARTER
CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com
With much of the area’s football teams eliminated from playoff contention, with Southwest Valley and Lenox the exceptions, area teams are trying to find something to fuel them through the end of the season.
Lenox at Bedford BEDFORD — Coming off a loss to Stanton, which remains undefeated in 8-player District 6 play, the Lenox Tigers have had little time to catch their breath. Week eight presents a challenge in Bedford, at 5-2, who also has yet to lose a district game. Lenox travels to Bedford, which defeated it 20-12 a year ago, with gametime set for 7 p.m. The Bulldogs enter after having defeated East Union in Afton 28-8, with Cooper Nally having run for 192 yards and four touchdowns.
Nally has thrown for 856 yards and ran for 305 this fall. Six Bulldogs have at least 100 yards rushing. Lenox was riddled by penalty mistakes and an inability to stop Stanton on fourth down. Brenden Christensen came up with a fumble recovery on Lenox’s lone takeaway last week. Causing the ball to hit the grass several times will likely be important for Lenox against a Bedford team that controls the ball for large portions of the game. Colton Gordon led a rushing attack against Stanton that piled up 240 yards, as Gordon he had 128 of those yards with a rushing score and a 57-yard kickoff return AREA FB | 8A

Saunderson leads Spartans in final fall meets By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com
The Southwestern Community College golf team hosted its second tournament of the 2017-18 season Oct. 5-6 at Mozingo Lake Golf Course in Maryville, Missouri. The Spartan men finished sixth place with a score of 318-313 — 631. Iowa Lakes and Fontbonne University were just one strike better in a fourth-place tie and North Central Missouri took third at 626. “The theme of this fall has been starting and closing,” said Spartan coach Doug North. “We are five strokes away from a third-place finish and we have to realize we are never out of it.” Park University swept the podium with a team score of 595 and three of the top five Reinhardt individual finishers on the men’s side. They had the same success on the women’s side, taking the top six individual finishes and the team trophy. The Spartans were led by freshman Reinhardt Saunderson in a tie for sixth place individually at a 7-over par score of 75-76 — 151. “Reinhardt has really come on the second half of our fall season,” North said. “He has demonstrated his leadership ability again by leading the team by 10 strokes.” Hayley Osmun was the lone Spartan woman to compete as injuries and academic commitments kept a few Osmun players at home. “Hayley really had some great holes,” North said. “She is young and going through some learning pains. This off-season will do her well. She can do some great things for the Spartans.” The Spartan men finished the fall SWCC GOLF | 12A

winning streak and were favored to get back to the World Series after losing in seven games a year ago to the Chicago Cubs. Cleveland’s Series drought turns 70 next year — baseball’s longest dry spell. “Nobody wanted the season to be over,� Indians manager Terry Francona said. “It doesn’t wind down, it comes to a crashing halt. It’s disappointing. We felt good about ourselves. We made it harder to win, especially in the last two games.� The Indians closed to 3-2 in the fifth against starter CC Sabathia before David Robertson pitched 2 2/3 hitless innings for the win.

Damewood and Porter shared setting duties once more, combining for 30 assists. Perkins led the Spartans with 16 digs, Porter and Ashley Kopplin totalled 14 apiece, and Hannah Ryan added 11. The Spartans repeatedly kept points alive, limited mistakes, and stuck to what they intended to do coming in. “We’re not making silly mistakes and we followed the game plan and we knew what they intended to do,� Cleaver said. Sydney Maynes was a force at the net with five assisted blocks and one solo block. Jacy Stoaks of Lenox saw some of her most extended time of the season and had a season-high four block assists to go with four digs and two kills. Emily Williams had three block assists and Perkins added two more. ‘We were super scrappy too,� Cleaver said. “Tere were some big hustle plays and it was nice to see.� SWCC won at Iowa Lakes in four sets on Wednesday 25-18, 25-17, 18-25, 25-18. More results from that win when statistics become available. The Spartans have now won six of their last seven matches and eight of their last 10. “We want to find our groove at that time,� Cleaver said. “If we get in a good spot in the conference, we can play with anybody.� SWCC (15-18) plays host to Neosho County Community College Saturday at 1 p.m. Chapman went to the mound with a three-run lead in the ninth after Brett Gardner battled Cody Allen for 12 pitches before hitting an RBI single, with New York’s fifth run scoring when Todd Frazier raced home on right fielder Jay Bruce’s throwing error. Gardner’s gritty at-bat was symbolic of these Yankees. They wouldn’t give in. “We can win a lot of different ways,� Gardner said. When Austin Jackson was called out on strikes to end it, the Yankees rushed to the mound to celebrate with a wide-eyed Chapman. An elated Girardi hugged his coaches. On Friday, Girardi was crestfallen, afraid he had wrecked the season. “After Game 2, Joe came up to me in this same spot (outside the manager’s office) and said, ‘Hey, man. I’m sorry,’� Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. “I told him, ‘We just have to keep battling. Noth-

East Union at Lamoni LAMONI — East Union enters week eight trying to get itself out of a rut. With the postseason now out of reach, the Eagles will be playing for pride, and to show that the start of the season, weeks one through three, was more indicative of the program they are. Lamoni (4-2, 2-2) will host EU (3-4, 1-3) at Graceland University’s Huntsman Field Friday at 7 p.m., having won its last two games, 36-30 over Wayne and 50-14 over Murray. Demons freshman quarterback Cael Ogier connected with receiver Stephen Ansong three times for 113 yards and three touchdowns in the win over Murray. Ogier threw five passing touchdowns in all, going 7 of 13 passing for 165 yards, but did throw three interceptions. Bryce Allie had been Lamoni’s starting quarterback coming into the week. The EU defense will look to slow Demons backs Luke Jones and Riley Schwab, both of whom have 300-plus yards on the ground. The Eagles surrendered 192 yards and four touchdowns on the ground alone
ing is over yet.’ No one on the plane home thought it was over at all.� The Yankees became the 10th team to overcome a 2-0 deficit to win a best-of-five playoff series. New York also did it in 2001, rallying to beat Oakland — a series remembered for Jeter’s backhand flip to home plate. Gregorius, who took over at shortstop following Jeter’s retirement after the 2014 season, hit a solo homer in the first off Kluber and added a two-run shot in the third off Cleveland’s ace, who didn’t look like himself during either start in this series. One win shy of a Series title last year, the Indians had only one goal in mind in 2017. They came up short again, and have now lost six consecutive games with a chance to clinch a postseason series.

in their 28-8 loss to Bedford last week. Tackling and limiting explosive plays will be huge for the Eagle defense, which features six players with at least 30 tackles. Joshua Hardy and Kole Seales are both among the top 15 tacklers in the district. The Eagle pass rush could be important, and Colton Abell leads EU with five sacks.
Murray at Wayne CORYDON — Murray plays its final game of the season this Friday at Wayne (3-4, 1-3) coming off a 50-14 Senior Night loss to Lamoni. Murray (0-7, 0-4) turned the ball over three times. The Mustangs continue to try to fix turnover troubles that have plagued the young team. The Falcons are coming off a 54-0 win over Collins-Maxwell, in which Chase Keifer ran for 211 rushing yards on 12 carries for four touchdowns. Keifer now has bullied and sprinted his way to 1,339 rushing yards and 18 rushing scores this season, both tops in 8-player District 6. Keifer has a nose for the ball on defense too, with three fumble recoveries to go with his 41.5 tackles.
Nodaway Valley at Earlham
EARHALM — After Nodaway Valley’s first win in over a year, a new breath of fresh air was drawn in by the program last week. They’re ready to go up against a 4-3 Earlham program fresh off the Cardinals
56-8 win over Griswold. The Wolverines’ win came against Southeast Warren, 12-6. “I give all the props to t h e m . They could have lied down a long time a g o , � Shantz c o a c h Steve Shantz said. “I thought up front, I thought we played a lot more physical than we have all year and the defense came up with big plays.� That included a pick-6 by Hunter Ernst, who also hauled in a passing touchdown. Thomas Britten and Austin Wilson will look to lead the NV (1-6, 1-5) defense coming into week eight. The Wolverines bent, but did not break, as Southeast Warren totalled 224 yards compared to Nodaway Valley’s 194. Earlham’s offense, which averages 297.6 rushing yards per game, will be much more difficult to slow.
Southwest Valley at Southeast Warren
LIBERTY CENTER — With two programs heading in different directions after last week, Class A second-ranked Southwest Valley is facing a program stuck in a patch or poor play. But the Timberwolves are taking to the road to face a Warhawks bunch that is likely to be fired up after a loss to previously winless Nodaway Valley. Warhawks quarterback
Colby Page has thrown for 714 yards this season. The Warhawks have incurred some harsh injury losses, and may be without several important players. Southwest Valley’s defense is surrendering just 5.0 points per game, and looks to finish off an undefeated regular season and lock up a high playoff seed to secure home field advantage. Des Moines Christian at Mount Ayr MOUNT AYR — The Mount Ayr Raiders’ final chance in 2017 to secure a victory on the school’s new turf field will be Friday against winless Des Moines Christian. After hosting Des Moines Christian (0-7 overall, 0-5 Class 1A District 5), the Raiders (2-5, 1-4) finish the 2017 season at Interstate 35, which now stands 5-2 and 3-2. This is the final game at Raider Stadium for 16 Mount Ayr seniors. This group has an overall record of 28-14, including state semifinal appearances their freshman and sophomore years. Des Moines Christian has been among the state leaders in passing statistics for several years. The Lions have improved the past two games when sophomore quarterback Jackson Waring gained his eligibility after transferring from Johnston. Waring has completed 26 of 47 passes for 255 yards and has also carried 43 times for 90 yards. The Raiders won last year’s matchup with the Lions, 49-28.

defenses from putting eight players in the box. Since the beginning of the season, Morrison has prioritized getting protection upfront. Against A-D-M, that sentiment hasn’t changed. “We just gotta be consistent up front,� said Morrison. “Just improving as a
unit up front and doing the right thing.� Special teams have shown to be an Achilles heel for the Panthers, especially in close games. But, the last few weeks have given the squad optimism on that front. Michael Scherer will be back on punt duty after aver-
aging over 40 yards per boot last week against Glenwood. Creston/O-M faces one more district test following this week. A road test against A-D-M will provide the Panthers with a quality opportunity to avoid worrying about a winless district slate.

NASCAR THIS WEEK
The Daytona Beach News-Journal’s Godwin Kelly & Ken Willis have covered NASCAR for nearly 60 years combined. godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com ken.willis@news-jrnl.com
CHARLOTTE
SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Does Martin Truex Jr. have to win the Cup for this to be considered a great season? GODSPEAK: How about Bill Elliott in 1985? He had 11 wins. DW got the trophy. Which one do you remember? KEN'S CALL: 1985 was a rarity. Who won the most games in baseball this season? See what I mean? Titles matter.
QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
A win for the gamers? Yes, in case you missed it, Alex Bowman won last Saturday night’s Xfinity Series race. No big deal, you might think, considering he’s ticketed for the No. 88 Cup car next year, and considering a guy with that perceived level of ability should win a race now and then. Except all of Bowman’s racing in 2017 up until Saturday night has come at the wheel of a racing simulator, where he helps the team configure mechanical setups from the comfort of an air-conditioned “play room.”
Is Kevin Harvick now in the picture? GODSPEAK: Harvick is getting in form at just the right time. He's a contender. KEN'S CALL: Can't believe that before Sunday he hadn't had a stage win since March. Good time to welcome some momentum.
Does it prove his value? Emergency personnel assist driver Kyle Busch after the Cup Series race at Charlotte. [AP/MIKE MCCARN]
C U P S TA N D I N G S 1. Martin Truex Jr. 3106 2. Kyle Larson 3072 3. Kevin Harvick 3069 4. Chase Elliott 3059 5. Denny Hamlin 3056 6. Kyle Busch 3055 7. Jimmie Johnson 3051 8. Jamie McMurray 3044 9. Matt Kenseth 3043 10. Brad Keselowski 3042 11. Ryan Blaney 3039 12. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 3034
THREE THINGS WE LEARNED 1. Busch, down
2. Sticky stuff
3. Who’s counting?
If Howard Cosell had called Sunday’s race at Charlotte, he would have looked at Kyle Busch after the run and said, “And down goes Busch!” Busch stumbled out of his damaged No. 18 Toyota and was treated by medics on pit road. “Felt like I had heatstroke,” he said. “I’m OK.”
Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 12th in his last Cup Series start at Charlotte and was not happy with the traction compound called VHT. “Everybody is worn out,” he said. “What they did to the race track and had on the race track, kind of all screwed up, got everybody worn out.”
Martin Truex Jr. won his series-leading sixth race of the season, 13th of his career. “I think honestly we could be sitting with 10,” he said. “This is racing. A lot of times things aren't going to go your way. But realistically, I think we could have won four or five more races.”
GODWIN’S PICKS F O R TA L L A D E G A WINNER: Dale Earnhardt Jr. REST OF TOP 5: Chase Elliott, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Martin Truex Jr., Brad Keselowski FIRST ONE OUT: Kyle Busch DARK HORSE: Jamie McMurray DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Junior, making his last start in Alabama, sends the “Earnhardt Nation” into a Talladega frenzy.
MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST We know a few things about plates, which qualifies us to talk about Talladega on this week’s podcast.

THREE THINGS TO WATCH 1. Chase watch Chase Elliott is so close to his first Cup Series victory, he can smell it, like dough frying at the county fair. The 21-year-old driver has an agonizing three second-place finishes in his past four starts. “It’s frustrating to run like this,” said Elliott, who has six career runner-up finishes. “We’re tired of running second. But if we keep running like we are, hopefully the opportunities will be there.”
2. That’s racin’

Kyle Busch stormed into Charlotte riding a two-race winning streak, then promptly stunk up the place with three single-car incidents, followed by a ride to the care center in an ambulance. He finished 29th and slipped from second to sixth in the playoff standings. “It was my bad, just trying to get a little too much too early in the
2017 SCHEDULE AND WINNERS Feb. 18: The Clash at Daytona (Joey Logano) Feb. 23: Can-Am Duels at Daytona (Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin) Feb. 26: Daytona 500 (Kurt Busch) March 5: Folds of Honor Quick Trip 500 at Atlanta (Brad Keselowski) March 12: Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas (Martin Truex Jr.) March 19: Good Sam 500k at Phoenix (Ryan Newman) March 26: Auto Club 400 at Fontana (Kyle Larson) April 2: STP 500 at Martinsville (Brad Keselowski) April 9: O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas (Jimmie Johnson) April 23: Food City 500 at Bristol (Jimmie Johnson) April 30: Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond (Joey Logano) May 7: Geico 500 at Talladega (Ricky Stenhouse Jr.)
That'll be determined in time. But it’s a good sign when a guy gets in a car for the first time in 10 months and wins the race. For what it’s worth, he now has the same number of minorleague wins Jimmie Johnson had when he went full-time Cup racing in 2002.
FEUD OF THE WEEK CLINT BOWYER VS. RYAN NEWMAN: On Lap 43, Newman drifted into the No. 14 Ford, forcing Bowyer into the Turn 2 wall. “We had a lot of damage,” said Bowyer, who finished 27th. GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: These guys need to talk. Newman thought it was Bowyer’s fault. “I’m not sure if he hit me and turned me on purpose or just hit me and ran out of room,” Newman said.

3. McMeaningful run Jamie McMurray managed to keep one toe in the playoff conversation after a fifth-place run at Charlotte. He went from last to eighth in playoff points,
leapfrogging four drivers. Now it’s on to Talladega, where he has two career victories. “We will have had a shot to win and we will also have a good shot to get crashed,” the 41-year-old driver said. “We will just have to wait and see how it plays out.”
