GREENFIELD – This year, Hank Bohling’s goal is to gather 3,500 greeting cards by early December to be sent to military veterans and troops.

Last holiday season, he helped collect about 3,000 cards, which were then distributed around the world through the American Red Cross’ Holidays for Heroes program.

The 18-year-old of Greenfield has been a local leader in the international program since he was a pre-teen, and to date, has

helped send more than 14,000 cards.

“It’s important to realize that there’s someone out there giving their life for you; it’s an eye-opener,” Hank said. “The program is people helping out people who help them. It’s just kind of a circle.”

In July, he was recognized for his hours of community service – which exceeded 560 solely in the past year – and desire to make his community and the world a better place.

Hank was honored for his work with the 2016 Aaron Eilert’s Community Service Award. Of more than two dozen nominees of all

ages, he was selected as the recipient of the title, given through The Robert D. and Billie Ray Center at Drake University in Des Moines.

“I was really surprised,” he said. “I get awards through 4-H, but to know I’d stretched further than my community and impacted the state is something crazy.”

Hank’s sister, DeEtta Bohling of Kansas City, nominated him for the award.

“He is just so dedicated to serving others and has done so many different projects that have helped a wide variety of people over the years, and I felt he

should be recognized for that,” DeEtta said. “You so often hear all the bad things that youth are doing, but I think he’s a pretty awesome kid doing some fantastic things.”

Holidays for Heroes Now a senior at Nodaway Valley High School, Hank became hooked on volunteering at a young age, following the example set by his parents, Lynn and Elaine.

The insects have killed tens of millions of ash trees and have now been found in 28 states. They are native to Asia and were first reported in the U.S. in Michigan in 2002. The insects were first detected in Iowa in 2010.

Iowa scores drop in statewide student assessments DES MOINES (AP) — Officials say Iowa student scores have dropped in statewide reading and math tests.

The Des Moines Register reports that the percentage of Iowa fourth-graders on grade level in reading fell to 74.8 percent last spring from 75.7 percent during the 2014-15 school year.

In math, fourth-grade proficiency fell to 79 percent this year from 80.3 percent in 2014-15.

Jay Pennington is the Iowa Department of Education’s bureau chief of information and analysis services, and he says the tests are only one measure of success. Until this school year’s tests in spring, results on the Iowa Assessments have increased every year since the accountability exams were begun in the 2011-12 school year.

Officials say it’s unclear why there were drops for the 2015-2016 school year.

Elaine, whose commitment to community service earned her an Iowan of the Day title in 2015, found out about the Holidays for Heroes program while searching on the Red Cross website for volunteer opportunities.

“I WENT about it and collected 1,003 my first year and sent them to the Red Cross.”

Following her retirement, Carol owned and operated their winery and vineyard after moving to Sun Valley Lake in 2000 and returned to Creston in 2013.

Carol was a member of the Holy Spirit Catholic Church and Alter and Rosary Society in Creston, board member at Crestmoor and Girl Scout Leader. She was formerly the president of Republican Women, Women’s Golf at Wakonda and Questers.

Carol helped to organize and build the Law Enforcement Center in Creston along with being involved in the VFW Auxiliary.

He has organized local mail drop sites and worked with limited resources to buy greeting cards and supplies, and using local media and church bulletins, has enlisted help from the community while researching and receiving a grant to help with expenses.

Each year, he helps collect cards from Veterans Day through early December and forwards all the cards to the Red Cross, which then disperses them.

“He has sent so many cards to servicemen and women as well as their families,” DeEtta said. “He’s put up drop boxes at different areas around town and has even gone into churches to encourage people as they were coming in to write a quick note of appreciation to let our servicemen and women know we’re thinking of them during the holiday season. Hank is such a patriotic individual, so this project really was a good one for him and one that he’s passionate about.”

Hank added: “A couple churches and nursing homes have helped me out, and a lot

Today is Oct. 13, the 287th day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 79 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Oct. 10-16) in history:

10 years ago Painters had put the final touches on the new Creston Water Tower built just off Cromwell Road in October 2005. The tower had been originally planned to be built on Park Street, but a lawsuit filed by the owners of adjacent property held up the project and forced it to be moved. After more than three years, the lawsuit filed against the city of Creston had reached its end in court when the Iowa Court of Appeals upheld the findings of Iowa District Court Judge Darrell Goodhue’s decision to throw it out. The lawsuit had been filed by the owners of Quiet Harbor Estates to stop the tower from being built at 818 and 820 S. Park St., which was surrounded on three sides by the senior community that was home to 76 residents ages 55 to 93.

Creston’s Scott Vicker won the Hawkeye 10 Championships in Clarinda and was ranked sixth in Class 3A cross country. This was his fifth win of the season (Jefferson, Panorama, Creston, Atlantic and Hawkeye 10), while Matt Lanning medaled with a time of 18:02 for 17th.

20 years ago Creston High School marching band’s color guard and drum majors were selected outstanding performers during the Clarinda Band Jamboree. The band placed of small groups get together and make their own cards or sign a whole bunch of them.”

Usually after the Christmas season, when holiday cards are on sale, Hank stocks up on greeting cards for the next year using his own money, DeEtta said.

“That’s a pretty big undertaking in itself just having those supplies on hand,” she said.

To learn more about the Holidays for Heroes program, visit redcross.org.

Hank has also organized efforts to revitalize a recreation area near his hometown. He helped secure three grants to fund the project.

“He took a leadership role in renovating the slab in Fontanelle,” DeEtta said. “It’s a place where kids used to hang out with a basketball court.

The concrete had come up and was cracked, and so he got a group of kids together to fix it up. They went to city hall meetings and things like that to get permission to go forward and were able to renovate it. A group of them also planted really beautiful planted pots around the square in Fontanelle.”

Hank has also been a leader in Adair County 4-H. “I served on State 4-H Council, and I’m about to leave for Atlanta for National 4-H Congress,” Hank said. “I got selected for that, and I’ll get to meet with other 4-H’ers from 52 states – Puerto Rico and D.C. are counted.”

Creston City Council was looking at a proposal for a $325,000 bond for construction of an underpass at the Elm Street railroad crossing.

The decision was to submit it to voters in Creston at a special election before taking any action. The plan was to relocate the tracks during the construction and to reduce the trackage to three tracks to make the underpass smaller with approaches starting at Adams and Union streets.

Marching bands from 20

high schools in southwest and south central Iowa were coming to Creston for a state marching band contest.

There were to be possibly 1,500 or more high school musicians taking part in the contest. Solo and ensemble contests were also to be held during the morning at Burton R. Jones Junior High School and the marching bands competed on the athletic field at McKinley Park in the afternoon.

The educational building of the First Methodist Church in Creston was dedicated during the Sunday morning service. The Rev. Azel L. Smith, pastor, unveiled a plaque to affix to the wall in the building and the mortgage was burned to signify final payment of indeptness.

whenever possible,” said Amy Smit, associate director of The Robert D. and Billie Ray Center. “Those are the traits we look for when we present this award – someone who is the epitome of community service. From little projects to big projects, they want to be in the middle to help their communities.”

To ensure a fair process, a committee of various Iowa volunteers determines which nominee receives the award.

“They base it on two things

– one, that the person shows the six pillars of character of Character Counts, and two, dedication to community service,” Smit said.

In fall 2017, Hank will begin studying mechanical engineering at Iowa State University in Ames.

“I haven’t really decided yet if I’ll continue doing (Holidays for Heroes) because I’ll be attending Iowa State next year, but I’m sure somewhere along the lines, it’ll be continued,” Hank said.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, October 13, 2016

Harvest is off to a slow start The weather gods have slowed the fall harvest.

All the small rains about every other day are making it tough for farmers to get in and out of the fields. Reports have been good on yield on both the bean and corn front.

This year was the third-rainiest in the 144 years they have been keeping track of that stat. It should provide for mountains of corn all over the place. I’m not sure where they are going to store it all. It’s great the yields are up but I’m not sure that it going to help out the price now through next year.

Football The high school football season is down to its last eight days of the regular season.

It looks like several area teams will be headed for the playoffs. It seems like the season just got started. The cooler weather this week

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

seems more like football weather.

Volleyball and cross country are also near the end of their time.

Basketball is right around the corner.

Boss day Monday, Oct. 17 is National Boss Day here in the United States. A time to give your boss a nice card or take them out to lunch. It’s always good to stay in the boss’ good graces!

Vote You can get out and vote now if you know who you are going to vote for, or even if you don’t.

I’m not sure the presidential

race gives us much choice this year. None of the four people running looks like they will help out the country over the next four years.

Look forward to continued slow growth to be the par for the next few years.

Update I try to keep you up-to-date on the national debt. Well, we are now up to almost $19.6 trillion in debt.

One trillion seconds equals 31,546 years. So, if you took that times 19.6 it would take you 615,147 years if you laid down one dollar per second!

I don’t think most people have any idea what $1 trillion is. If you think interest rates are going to get very high over the next 10 years, think again.

Even a few percentage-points raise would wipe out most of the

non-entitlement spending.

We are between a rock and a hard place. You can’t raise the interest rates very far or fast because of the debt load getting bigger because of the increased interest to the debt. I hope we don’t have a recession anytime soon. We are out of bullets to fight one with the rates being so low.

Halloween Halloween falls on a Monday this year. It seems like Halloween gets to be a bigger event every year.

I’m a little perplexed about this whole clown deal. Now we can’t even dress up as a clown because many people think they are “evil?”

Even Ronald McDonald has now cut down his appearances over the next month as to not offend anyone. What next, we outlaw the Tooth Fairy because she causes pain to small children? Or

we quit giving out candy because it may make you fat? I’m not sure where things are going.

High Lakes Tonight is the High Lakes Outdoor Alliance annual event out at Three Mile Lodge.

The group does a great job of raising funds and doing things for the local parks and lakes.

They do everything from stocking some of the local lakes with walleye to making habitats for doves and other game birds.

Plus, the big project of starting the gun club has been a wonderful addition to the area.

Come out and bid on many of the items; the money stays local and helps fund a lot of improvements.

Thought for the week: “Pay attention to your enemies, for they are the first to discover your mistakes.” – Antisthenes.

Letter to the editor

Thank you for all the support From Tim and Jeannette Haynie Creston

On Wednesday afternoon, Sept.

21, we had the misfortune of having a house fire, caused by wiring in an electrical outlet. Due to the room being recently remodeled, the drywall and insulation kept the fire contained to one upstairs room until the firemen arrived. The firemen cut a hole in the roof and broke several windows to vent the fire and gain access. The fire was quickly put out without spreading further. We have gutted the entire upstairs as extensive damage was caused by smoke and water. Our downstairs bedroom will also have to be gutted due to water damage and mold.

Two factors contributed to saving our house.

First was the detection of smoke pouring from our roof by our neighbor Myrna Thatcher. She

alerted us 8 to 10 minutes before our smoke alarms went off, which may have been the difference between the fire being contained and the fire spreading beyond that room. We will always be thankful to Myrna for her quick actions.

Second was the quick response of our fire department and their precise, trained action in taking the steps necessary to put the fire out as quickly and thoroughly as possible. Their professionalism and compassion were evident. We would like to encourage everyone to attend the supper fundraiser from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Saturday at First United Methodist Church.

Proceeds will go to the fire department to raise funds toward purchasing firefighting gear for new firefighters.

In a crisis such as this, we are overwhelmed with the support and prayers of friends, neighbors, family and especially, the church.

Thanks to all of you.

Voters afraid of government corruption HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

NBC News released a poll Wednesday saying the top concern of voters this year is government corruption. Nothing is as it seems. Yesterday I thought a congressional candidate was lying to me because his pants were on fire, but it turned out he’d just butt-dialed someone on his Samsung phone.

Donald Trump was accused by four women of groping them and of past beauty pageant mischief Tuesday. It doesn’t seem fair that Trump has to run two races at the same time. In order to win in November, Trump has to get more electoral votes than Hillary and more female accusers than Cosby.

Bill Clinton caused eyes to roll Wednesday when he told a crowd the Democratic Party would welcome rednecks. It wasn’t his week. After being battered in Sunday’s debate in St. Louis, Bill walked into the hotel bar and asked the waitress for the usual, so she brought him a restraining order.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will debate Wednesday like divorcing parents fighting over custody of the kids, who just want to live with Grandma in Buckingham Palace. This election may prove that it’s time to return to colonial status. This whole Fourth of July thing just frightens the dogs.

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

President Obama addressed reporters at the White House Thursday and announced that plans are in place to send Americans to the planet Mars by the year 2030. It’s big news. NASA was very happy to hear it, however many people were disappointed they weren’t going to do it by Election Day. Donald Trump addressed reporters Tuesday and said he’s glad that wavering Republicans were dropping their support.

He actually said it’s so nice that the shackles have been taken off him. It marked the moment that Trump’s appeal to African-American voters went a little over the top.

Congressman Paul Ryan stepped on Donald Trump’s debate win Monday by declaring that he won’t campaign with Trump or defend his offensive comments. However he said he will continue to endorse Trump.

The statement was part of Paul Ryan’s new duties as Speaker of the Waffle House.

The White House vowed a response to Russia for relaying e-mails to WikiLeaks that they hacked from the Democrats.

You can’t make it up. The DNC is mad at Russia because they

think they’re trying to manipulate the U.S. election by exposing how the DNC is trying to manipulate the U.S. election.

Tim Tebow was signing autographs after his rookie league game on Tuesday when a fan had a seizure and collapsed. Tim laid his hand on the fan, said a prayer and the man returned to life. Donald Trump just ordered his poll numbers to go to the ballpark tomorrow and get Tim’s autograph.

Donald Trump climbed back into a tie with Hillary Clinton in the L.A. Times daily tracking poll Wednesday. His loyalist backers are the evangelicals.

Jerry Falwell, Jr., defended Trump, saying we won’t have a perfect candidate unless Jesus runs, and the only thing he ever grabbed was an apostle.

McDonald’s announced they’ll temporarily halt appearances by Ronald McDonald until this scary clown craze dies down. He’s hired to lure kids and families to the fast-food restaurant. Say what you will about scary clowns, but they were able to do what no heart doctor could do in 50 years.

Wikileaks revealed Clinton staffers mocking conservatives who convert to Catholicism, saying it’s too embarrassing to be evangelical. The e-mail said Catholicism is the most socially acceptable religion. That statement will be in every Episcopal church bulletin Sunday under “Laugh of the Week.”

Window warning Dear Readers: October is NATIONAL WINDOW COVERING SAFETY MONTH. The Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) wants to remind you that older homes, rental properties and apartments may have outdated window coverings, with cords and pulls that can pose a choking hazard.

Military families can be at a higher risk; they typically move frequently and into rental homes.

Window treatments manufactured before 2001 should be replaced with cordless window coverings, or coverings with inaccessible cords. Ask the landlord.

The WCSC also recommends the following: There are lots of hazards in the home, and if you don’t have small children around on a regular basis, it might not be on your radar.

Keep all kids’ furniture, beds and cribs away from window treatments and, ideally, completely away from windows.

Make sure that babies and toddlers cannot reach cords at all. The risk of strangulation is too high. Visit www.windowcoverings.org for more information. – Heloise WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE Dear Heloise: Many of us are now drinking bottled water. Is there a special kind we should be looking for?

Hints from Heloise water.” – Alberta W., Hobart, Ind. Alberta, walking down the water aisle can be overwhelming – so many choices!

One is not better than the next; it is really a matter of personal preference. Here are some definitions: * Purified water – has had all minerals and chemicals removed. * Distilled water – is made from steam, so minerals and bacteria are not present. * Spring water – comes from an underwater pool; nothing is added or removed. * Sparkling water – has carbon dioxide added and is bubbly.

Read the label on these waters. You may be surprised; some of these waters are sourced from municipal supplies – it’s tap water! You might consider getting a vacuum bottle with a filter and filling it from the sink. You’ll save money! – Heloise

Turn the keyboard upside down and give it a gentle shake over the trash receptacle. Pick up dust on the keys with a microfiber cloth. Again, do not spray any cleaners on the keys.

To dust the printer, open it and use a long-handled duster to pick up any debris. – Heloise MYSTERY SOLVED Dear Heloise: For years, I have been wondering what that mysterious “SKU” BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker stood for.

Back in My Day

By HANNAH FOGLE

Education is rapidly changing. Technology is completely taking over. Students rarely open up a spiral notebook and take notes, or physically flip the page on a book. These were everyday tasks before being introduced to the 21st century classroom. The 21st century classroom demands that students learn through creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration, and often times through new technologies. At Creston Community High School, students carry a personal Chromebook, have access to Smart Boards, and use computer softwares, such as Final Cut Pro and Photoshop.

When asked, “How has teaching techniques evolved?” Jim McCracken, Creston Community High School science teacher, answered that when taking physics in high school, a class that he teaches now, there were no labs. Labs are a daily activity that McCracken uses to help teach his students. He uses more hands on techniques and group work than were ever used when he was in school. He tells that “back in his day” he was taught math in his science courses by using a slide rule, instead of the calculator that many students rely on today.

He explained that there was one calculator, for the teachers not the students, that cost around $300 when purchased in 1973. McCracken attended Denison High School and graduated in 1966.

Modern Education, or Not

By SARA WILLIAMSON

Sophomore Ciera Carlson enjoys multi-cultural art class with Ms. Fry.

Students at CCHS each have their own very unique interests. Sometimes, these interests can be difficult to explore.

Mrs. Albee is a substitute teacher for the Creston Community School district.

This is what she had to say on this topic, “If students don’t care for what they are learning about, they aren’t going to remember it anyway.”

All schools have required classes for graduation. These requirements include classes in math, science, and English.

The general consensus heard from CCHS students is that some of these required classes are too extensive for a universal education. Almost all of the students agree that the basics are very important to learn, but they are also upset with the lack of freedom in choosing classes.

When CCHS junior Tucker Flynn was asked what classes he thought everyone should take he responded, “It all depends on the student and their interests.”

The school system has been changing but only at an alarmingly slow rate. School is so important that every child is supposed to go, so why aren’t they trying a lot harder to make it better for individual students? Each student has a different way of learning and sometimes school doesn’t fit.

There is never going to be a perfect way to teach but it could be better.

Afterall,“Everybody is a Genius. But If You Judge a Fish by Its Ability to Climb a Tree, It Will Live Its Whole Life Believing that It is Stupid.”

Students graduating in the 21st century and beyond will be more aware of the changing world than students once were. Morgan Shawler, senior at CCHS, says, “Using different technologies has prepared me to figure out things on my own. In the real world, my boss some day will not be able to point out how to do something step by step.” McCracken also points out, “Technology is preparing students greatly because no matter what field a student decides to go into, it will require the use of different technologies.” The phrase, “Back in my day” will have a whole new meaning.

Lot Lockdown

By MARIAH REED

Creston Community High School students are struggling to park between the lines.

Most of them are in a rush to get to class on time, so they don’t take the time to park straight. Many students don’t think it’s completely necessary for the teachers to have the first three rows when they barely fill two of them. Perhaps a solution to this issue would be to decrease the teacher’s parking area.

In order to not spend large amounts of money, the school should focus on the necessary things. The parking lot has a lot of pavement issues, like potholes that students try to swerve around and fading lines that make parking difficult.

Harlee Lewis, a freshman at Creston Community High School says, “the parking lot is crowded! Some people do not know how to park in between the lines. The new drivers need to learn to slow down.”

Josh Rafter, a senior, seems to have a different opinion. He says, “the parking lot is broken and packed with pot holes. I don’t have a problem with the parking, just don’t get in my way.“

“I want to vote, but I don’t like who we have to choose between.”

When kids were younger, they would learn about politics. Some teachers talked about simple things such as small taxes and trade. Now that the seniors have the chance to vote, they need to keep in consideration the consequence of the wrong vote.

In about a month half the senior class will be voting for our next president.

The future is in another generation’s hands again. Nick Case mentioned, “If you think about it one vote could ruin this country.” Think about the vote, think about the issues, and think about the future.

LENOX — Lenox head football coach and athletic director Matt Malausky was thinking this past summer about how the Tigers don’t play for a traveling trophy.

With Bedford dropping down to Eight-man from 11-man, he came up with an idea for two neighboring rivals.

Malausky and Bedford athletic director Matt Ambrose talked about the idea.

Ambrose signed off on it.

Through that, the Haybale Trophy came about.

The two longtime rivals will meet up for the first time since 2004 Friday in a

game that has huge playoff implications for both teams beyond just the traveling trophy.

Both are 4-1 in the district. The winner of Friday’s game will have an inside track at one of the two guaranteed playoff berths.

“It’s a really huge game,” Malausky said. “It has big playoff implications.”

Bedford is 6-1 overall, while Lenox is 5-2.

But in a game like Friday’s, records do not matter.

“You can pretty much throw the records out the window,” Malausky said.

“We’re looking for a great game.”

Bedford’s ground based attack, led by standout running back Sam McMillin, will test the Lenox defense.

McMillin has rushed for 1,023 yards and 17 touchdowns in seven games.

But the Bulldogs do have threats on the outside the Tigers must respect.

“They try to empty the box, run spread, but they’re still in a running game,” Ma-

lausky said. “That’s a tough thing to do. Defensively you have to respect that because they do have good receivers. We have to respect that, but at the end of the day we have to stop their run.”

Lenox counters offensively with a strong option-based attack led by quarterback Dawson Tullberg. Tullberg has rushed for 629 yards and 12 touchdowns. He’s also thrown for 511 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Tullberg’s speed running the option game makes him a dangerous weapon, particularly in the Eight-player game.

“He makes teams pay for mistakes on the option,” Malausky said. “The difference between 11-man 8-man is when you pay for a mistake on the option in 11-man, it’s a 20 yard run.

When you pay for a mistake in 8-man it’s six points.

There’s a huge difference that way.”

Tullberg’s speed makes him a special player.

“He provides a lot of

problems for defensive coordinators,” Malausky said.

“I would not want to defend that young man. I’ve had at least two coaches in the district say he’s hard to prepare for because we can’t simulate him. His speed’s a killer.”

The Tigers are coming into this week with plenty of momentum following last week’s 52-8 demolition of Stanton.

Their approach hasn’t changed this week, not with the season still on the line.

“We prepare for every game the same,” Malausky said. “It doesn’t matter how big or small it might seem.

Every week from Stanton on is a playoff game. We’ve got to keep winning in order to even be considered.”

Bedford is also still in the playoff hunt. The Bulldogs are coming off their first loss of the season, a 38-20 defeat at the hands of East Union.

The winner has the upper hand on a playoff spot going into week nine. The loser will be on the outside look-

Cat fight set for senior night Final regular season home game for 19 Panther seniors

Coming off of the team’s biggest win of the year, the Creston/Orient-Macksburg Panthers head home to take on an Adel-Desoto-Minburn squad that will provide the Panthers a different look than they’re used to.

“We played definitely our best game against a really good Glenwood team this past Friday,” Creston/O-M head coach Brian Morrison said. “I thought it defensively was by far the best game we’ve played, limiting their offensive explosion plays.”

ADM (3-4, 3-2), a squad caught in the middle of Class 3A District 7, looks to play spoiler on the Panthers’ Senior Night.

Creston/O-M (7-0, 5-0) sits a win away from securing a sure playoff spot. Two wins would give the Panthers a perfect regular season record and would give the team at least one home game in the playoffs.

“This week is big. There’s still a lot of question marks in our district,” Morrison said.

“Once again, it’s a mustwin for us.”

Last year The Panthers defeated the Tigers 38-21 in week six.

Chase Shiltz ran for 239 yards and four touchdowns on 22 carries as the team ran for 370 yards on the ground.

Shiltz also intercepted two passes.

Creston/O-M has won the meeting between these two progams the last two years, while ADM took four consecutive meetings prior to that dating back to 2009.

ADM firepower The Tigers will provide the Panthers with a look that they’re unaccustomed to. ADM will be pass-first with four and five-receiver formations being the base that it operates out of.

Junior quarterback Sam McCartney is a dual-threat quarterback who will easily be the best run option the team fields come Friday.

“They will put stress on our secondary,” Morrison said. “Their run game is their quarterback.”

McCartney comes in having thrown for 233 yards and three touchdowns on 20-of33 passing in last week’s 36-7 win against Atlantic.

He also ran for 213 yards on 13 attempts in the game.

This season, McCartney has rushed for 434 yards and nine touchdowns to compliment his 1,480 yards and 10 touchdowns through the air.

The Tigers come in with the second most potent passing attack in the district to Harlan. He is completing 55.4 percent of his passes and has thrown three intercep-

tions in 187 attempts.

The Tigers have spread the ball healthily among five different receivers who have at least 10 receptions each.

Senior Austin Flora and junior Gage Fuller lead the way. Both have three touchdown receptions. Flora has 26 receptions for 434 yards and Fuller has 18 catches for 248 yards. Two more juniors, Gavion O’steen and Cole Knoll both have 200plus receiving yards.

The Panthers will be pressed to field more defensive backs and go a bit deeper on the depth chart than they’re accustomed to. Morrison noted that defensive backs rotated to numerous positions in practice this week and that guys who haven’t seen much varsity playing time will see the field.

“There’s a lot of communication that needs to go on on the game field,” Morrison said.

With Evan Jacobson dayto-day with a chest issue sustained in the Glenwood game, question marks could pop up during the course of the game.

Shiltz enters this game with 1,027 yards and 19 touchdowns on the ground alone.

Tiger defensive prowl ADM has proven a tad inconsistent this season in stopping opposing offenses.

A poor performance against Harlan (58 points), and 29.6 points allowed per game this season isn’t likely to

intimidate the Panther offense that is tops in the district in rushing (2,093 yards and 34 touchdowns) and one that has thrown just one interception.

Turning the Panthers over certainly won’t be easy for the Tigers, but that is certain to be a part of their formula to try and take down the Panthers.

Spartans improving, but fall at hands of Tritons

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Back to a mostly-healthy status, the Southwestern Community College Spartans gave visiting Iowa Central Community College a tough effort in a 3-1 home loss Wednesday.

Southwestern lost by scores of 25-16, 21-25, 25-18 and 25-12.

The Spartans were able to get up a solid wall more consistently than has been seen in past matches, but Spartans coach Aleesha Cleaver wants to see more consistency.

“They (Iowa Central) liked to cross a lot, so we tried to take that away which led to a couple of their blocks,” Cleaver said.

“We’ve got to be consistent.

We’ve got to do it every single set.”

Spartan hitters, namely Brooke Decker, Syndey Maynes, Jade Peterson, got involved in the blocking game, particularly in the second set. After falling in the first set, the Spartans remained within striking distance for much of the set.

After trailing 20-18, SWCC scored seven of the last eight points of the set, including the last four, to win.

The Spartans recorded 10 block assists in the second set alone. The Spartans had 20 kills as a team throughout the match.

Ashley Kopplin, who hobbled around on a banged up knee, and Brittany Langendoerfer both recorded a sizable amount of digs.

“That second set we won, we were doing a lot of good things,” Cleaver said.

The back row repeatedly made all-out efforts to keep the ball alive and pulled up digs consistently.

“We were just communicating and getting balls that we probably shouldn’t have been getting, but we were getting touches on things and keeping the ball in play,” Cleaver said.

UP NEXT — Southwestern (3-20) will host Southeast (4-21) Friday. Southeast defeated SWCC 3-2 earlier in the season. ​CNA photo by KALEB CARTER]

tions,� Malausky said. “It’d be one thing if one of us was out of the playoffs, but both of us are still in the playoffs. “There’s a lot riding on this game.�

weeks ago to Stanton, the Eagles know they can’t overlook Lamoni, who comes in at 3-4 overall and 1-4 in the district. The Demons enter Friday’s game coming off a 44-40 loss to Murray last week. “The guys have confidence, but they also know the importance of keeping a level head and keeping their focus going into this weeks game,� Hardy said.

Attention to details is key as East Union prepares for Senior Learning lessons for Night East Union saw how fo- Southwest Valley cusing on all of the details in practice can pay off in a big way come Friday night.

The Eagles want to have that same focus this week as it prepares for Lamoni on Senior Night in Afton.

E a s t Union’s attention to the little things showed as Hardy they did something no team had been able to do this season prior to last Friday in slowing down Bedford’s powerful offense in a 38-20 Eagles win. “We really focused more on the specific reps needed in given situations during the game,� said East Union co-coach James Hardy. “We continue to stress the need to take it one game at a time and value the opportunities we have during the game.�

The Eagle coaches are making sure the team is focused on the task right in front of them and not focusing on other things, such as the possibility of playing in the postseason. “It is extremely important to have the right mindset going into the final two games of the season,� Hardy said. “We talk to our guys daily about having the right mindset.�

For the seniors, a big opportunity awaits them. Not only is it their final regular season home game, but there’s much at stake. A win Friday would keep the Eagles in the mix for the district title. “It certainly is important to our seniors and the opportunity they have to compete one more time in front of the home crowd and use the crowd’s energy to get us going,� Hardy said. As thrilling as last week’s win was, as well as a season savor after the loss two

Southwest Valley can take away plenty from last week’s test against Class A thirdranked St. Albert.

For coach Anthony Donahoo and his staff, it presented plenty of teaching moments for the Timberwolves this week ahead of Friday’s home finale against Southeast Warren.

The Timberwolves were right in the game against the Falcons. “We learned that we can hang with the best team in Class A,� Donahoo said. “To hold a team like that to 27 points for most of the game was a testament to our defense. Offensively there were a few things we are looking to change up but we moved the ball from the 20 to the 20 almost every drive.

Finishing drives will be key going forward.�

S o u t h - Donahoo west Valley’s struggles came on offense. The Timberwolves in scoring no points against a quick St. Albert defense.

The Timberwolves had 12 penalties, most for holding or a block in the back. “This happens by not getting out of your stance and being a step slow,� Donahoo said. “I told the guys that when we were playing at 100 percent, we were moving the ball like we’ve done all year.

But against great teams, the second you drop your intensity to 90 or 80 percent, then they’ll win the battles because great teams perform at 100 percent the entire game.�

Southwest Valley’s defense did plenty of good in holding St. Albert to by far its fewest points in district play, allowing only 33 points. “The guys played downhill all night,� Donahoo said. “The linebackers were

pushing to get to their gaps, the defensive line had a tough test with St. Albert’s offensive line, but they held their ground, and the back end did their job all night long.�

That type of effort shown against the Falcons can aid the Timberwolves greatly in the final two weeks of the season. “If we can match that intensity in practice, we’ll finish the year how we want,�

Donahoo said.

Even at 4-3 overall and 3-2 in the district, there’s still plenty at stake for Southwest Valley. “The chance to be in the playoffs — we all understand the importance of going 1-0 each week and winning by 17 points,� Donahoo said. “If we don’t do that there is no chance. All my team wants is a chance at the end so we’re taking this week and next week just as seriously as we have the first seven games.�

Mustangs at home Friday could be the final game of the season for Murray as the Mustangs prepare to face Wayne.

While the Mustangs are scheduled to play Mormon Trail in Murray in week nine, the game is in doubt.

Mormon Trail had just 11 players to start the season.

The Saints have forfeited the previous two weeks against

Lenox and Wayne because of insufficient numbers due to injuries.

The Mustangs enter the contest against the Falcons coming off a thrilling 44-40 win at Lamoni.

Dustin Teas enters Friday’s game coming off the outing of a lifetime. He accounted for 375 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns — two rushing, one receiving and one on a kickoff — in the Mustangs win.

Wayne enters at 4-3 overall and 2-3 in the district.

The Falcons won last week’s game against Mormon Trail by forfeit.

Wolverines play final home game Nodaway Valley closes out the home portion of its schedule Friday hosting Earlham in Class A District 5.

The Wolverines, 1-6 and 1-4, are looking to snap a three-game losing streak.

Nodaway Valley fell 27-0 at Southeast Warren last Friday.

Earlham comes in at 4-3 overall and 4-1 in the district, good for second place by themselves behind thirdranked St. Albert, who is undefeated at 7-0 overall and 5-0 in the district. The Cardinals enter having come off a 17-0 forfeit win over Griswold last Friday.

Showalter noted his defensive line must have a solid game. “Probably the biggest part of a good pass defense is what you do on the front end,� Showalter said. “We’ve got to get some pressure on them.�

Another key will be keeping the ball away from the Lions’ offense. “If we can keep them off the field, then it’s a lot easier to defend the pass,� Showalter said. “We’re going to hope to grind it out, sustain some drives and maintain possession as long as we can.�

Mount Ayr regained a bit of its swagger back with a 2814 victory.

The Raiders will look to carry that momentum over into a week eight tussle at Des Moines Christian. “ I t ’ s amazing the feeling you have after a win, and not just a win, Showalter but a game where we played really well,� said Mount Ayr co-coach Delwyn Showalter. “Our guys have a lot of confidence again. It’s a lot easier to play aggressively when you’re confident. Hopefully we’ll see that again Friday night.�

The Raider defense will see the extreme opposite of what they saw last week. Des Moines Christian is the top passing team in Class 1A. The Lions have thrown for 1,770 yards, 325 more than Central Decatur, which is second in the class. “It will certainly be a challenge for us,� Showalter said. “Last week we knew we had a team that wanted to run first and foremost and had to be forced to throw.�

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, October 13, 2016

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

Panic time?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Was Jimmie Johnson sandbagging?

GODSPEAK: I honestly believe no. Hendrick Motorsports has struggled all season. It’s now out of its funk.

KEN’S CALL: Not a chance.

And does this signal a dominant run the next two months? Not a chance. Just one of them deals.

Yes. And no. OK, maybe. It was an odd sight if you were at home Sunday watching the Charlotte race. You might flip away for a little while, or maybe you don’t tune in until well after the start. You begin watching the scroll on the screen that shows the full-field rundown. “Wait, where’s Denny? Did I miss Denny’s name? How ’bout Harvick?

Joey? Oh wait … there they are.”

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM CHARLOTTE

So, misery loves company?

Yes, particularly in competition. So, while it stinks for Kevin Harvick to be behind the eight ball yet again, his 38thplace showing at Charlotte is tempered a bit by knowing that four other Chasers were 30th or worse. With racing’s Russian roulette looming next week at Talladega, this week’s Kansas race should be amazing. None of the Chasers wants to enter Talladega in need of a great run, because plate-racin’ does no favors. So they’ll all presumably be on top of their games at Kansas.

Worried for Kevin Harvick?

GODSPEAK: Never. Don’t count Harvick out until the checkered flag falls at Talladega.

KEN’S CALL: Never worried for Harvick. If he’d been the only Chaser in the dumps at Charlotte, maybe. No, wait, not even then.

11th for Danica Patrick at Charlotte; signs of hope?

GODSPEAK: Let’s be positive here. She’s moving in the right direction.

KEN’S CALL: Um, it’s her first “top 11” of the season, so not really.

What, yet another Chase tweak?

Jimmie Johnson shows he still knows how do a victory burnout after winning at Charlotte. He has not done that since March. AP/MIKE MCCARN

1. Hendrick returns

2. Johnson advances

3. Danica sighting

Jimmie Johnson got car owner Rick Hendrick back to Victory Lane after a 24-race losing streak. Johnson’s teammate Kasey Kahne finished third, and Kyle Larson, racing with a Hendrick engine, was fifth. And Hendrick's Chase Elliott led 103 laps before wrecking out. “We’re back,” said Johnson.

With his win at Charlotte, Johnson becomes the first driver to qualify for Round 3 of the Chase. Johnson never made it out of Round 2 in the past two years, so Sunday’s win was a small milestone.

It was also Johnson’s 78th career victory as he creeps up the all-time Cup Series win list.

Danica Patrick has not scored a top-10 finish this season, but came mighty close at Charlotte, when she crossed the line in 11th place.

She did draw the ire of teammate Kurt Busch, who said, “She was on the lead lap and kept coming around us and it boxed us in. We don’t need that.”

3 THINGS TO WATCH

Talladega mayhem awaits next week, so this week’s Kansas race has added importance.

1. Chasers, OMG SPRINT CUP POINTS 1. Jimmie Johnson 2. Matt Kenseth 3. Kyle Busch 4. Brad Keselowski 5. Kurt Busch 6. Carl Edwards 7. Martin Truex Jr. 8. Denny Hamlin 9. Austin Dillon 9.

Maybe, and maybe a good one.

There’s some chatter about properly rewarding the driver who leads in points at the 26-race cutoff before the playoffs.

The best reward would be a free pass to the second round of the playoffs, but that’s a lot. Best option: When in doubt, whip ’em with money. A separate trophy and a million or two at the banquet should take care of it.

It was a bad day for a pack of NASCAR Chase drivers.

Five Chasers finished 30th or worse, creating a seismic shift in the points standings. That hasn’t happened since 2007.

Denny Hamlin was the best of the worst by finishing 30th with a blown engine. Austin Dillon (32nd), Chase Elliott (33rd) and Joey Logano (36th) went down with wrecks. Kevin Harvick (38th) ran only 155 laps before his engine expired.

2. One normal race There is only one normal race left in Round 2. After this Sunday’s run at Kansas

Speedway, the 12 surviving Chase drivers must roll the dice at Talladega Superspeedway. Oh, make that 11 drivers.

Jimmie Johnson’s victory takes him straight to Round 3. “That is massive,” Johnson said. “I am so happy about that. So happy to be in Victory Lane with Chad Knaus (crew chief), we are a brotherhood on this No. 48 team.”

year of a three-year deal with Richard Childress Racing, and there were rumblings in the garage area that Newman might not be back at RCR in 2017. But Newman said this after his fourth-place finish at Charlotte: “We had a good race car, no doubt. We will keep digging. This is building for us for the rest of the year and starting next year.”

3. Newman returning?

Dillon

Truex

AUSTIN DILLON VS. MARTIN TRUEX JR.: During the Lap 266 restart, Truex used his Toyota to give Dillon’s Chevy a push forward, but instead pushed the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing entry into the wall.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Both are battling in the Chase, so Truex jumped right into apology mode on pit road. “I was just trying to help get him going and just pushed way too hard,” Truex said.

‘I cry and pray’: Keeping vigil amid North Carolina floods GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Anita Van Beveren has been returning day after day to watch the brown floodwater creep toward the rental home she shares with her two teenage children. While she got many belongings out, they couldn’t move everything — a bicycle is chained to a back deck surrounded by water.

“I cry and pray. There’s nothing else to do,” said Van Beveren, who is staying with friends. “We keep coming up here every hour. And every hour it’s worse.”

Many neighbors are keeping similar vigils on Van Beveren’s side of Willow Street, which runs parallel to the Tar River and has largely served as a boundary between those who evacuated and those who stayed. The leafy neighborhood — one of many around North Carolina to suffer flooding after Hurricane Matthew — includes one-story homes and small apartment buildings that house a mix of families and students from nearby East Carolina University.

North of Willow, houses and apartments were filling up with water even before the river was expected to crest Thursday.

The flooding triggered by heavy rain from Matthew — which killed more than 500 people in Haiti — has left at least 35 dead in the U.S. Matthew also brought record flooding to some areas of South Carolina. The National Weather Service reports the Little Pee Dee River near Galivants Ferry in Horry County has broken a flood record set almost 90 years ago.

The storm closed more than 200 roads in the state. Officials say more roads are being reopened. And North Carolina officials say they are reopening a long section of the main road on the Outer Banks.

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory said Thursday the number of power outages was down to about 55,000, form a high of nearly 900,000 when the storm hit last week. He said no new deaths have been reported, leaving the state’s death toll at 20.

But McCrory said flooding continues to be a major problem in the eastern part of the state.

“The poorest of the poor are the ones that are being

hurt the most by the floods,” the governor said, citing conditions in Lumberton and smaller communities of Pembroke and St. Pauls.

In Greenville, south of Willow Street and uphill from the river, homeowners expect their houses to be dry, and most stayed despite a mandatory evacuation.

“People that are staying are pretty comfortable because a lot of us were here for Floyd, and we know what’s coming,” said John Benson. He lives on a street that crosses Willow just uphill from a Dead End sign that marked the edge of the floodwaters from Hurricane Floyd in 1999. The Tar River isn’t expected to get as high this time.

Joe Davis owns houses on another street that crosses Willow, including a rental property where waist-deep water lapped at the foundation Wednesday.

He watched a worker use duct tape and sheets of plastic to seal crawl space vents after placing sandbags at the doors.

“This is my first time doing this, so we’ll see how this works,” said Davis, who bought the rental house several months ago.

Wearing duck-hunting waders, Andrew Brauns strode through the murky water after working on Davis’ rental house. He does maintenance for several property owners and said he put in several 15hour days this week.

“These are going to be our two worst houses actually,” he said, pointing to the rental house and one across the street. “So we’ve really been trying to keep the water out.

Under the houses, it can wash a bunch of the foundations away.”

Two tenants of another house surrounded by several feet of water — Carolyn Raby and Nicole Beauchene — walked up to survey the scene at the end of the street that dead ends near the river. They said their landlord has been letting them stay in another house he owns, but the ordeal has fried their nerves.

“I haven’t slept. I don’t eat.

The only normal thing I have is work and that’s sad when work’s your only normal thing to do,” said Beauchene, who works at the sandwich shop Jimmy John’s.

The American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give blood to support cancer patients and other patients during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

More than 1.6 million new cases of cancer are expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. this year and 246,600 of them will be invasive breast cancer, according to American Cancer Society. Cancer patients may need blood products during chemotherapy, surgery or treatment for complications.

The Red Cross must collect about 14,000 blood donations every day to help patients, and volunteer donors are the only source of blood products for those needing transfusions. Donors of all blood types are needed.

To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit www.redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Donors are encouraged to make appointments and complete the RapidPass online health history questionnaire at www.redcrossblood. org/rapidpass to save time when donating.

All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood-donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some

Suspect in Boston police shootings said he was bounty hunter BOSTON (AP) — A man wearing body armor and armed with an assault rifle shot two Boston police officers who were responding to a report of a domestic disturbance, before being shot and killed by other officers, police said.

The wounded officers were in “extremely critical condition� but out of surgery and with their families on Thursday morning, Police Commissioner William Evans said. “Domestic calls, as you know, are probably the most volatile. You never really know what you’re walking into,� Evans said. “And I think we see right now the dangers of our job.�

The suspect was identified as Kirk Figueroa, 33, of East Boston.

A car with the name of a website was towed from the shooting scene Thursday morning. On the website, elitepolicing.org, a man who identifies himself as Kirk Figueroa says his company, Code Blue Protection Corp., provides police support, fugitive apprehension and extradition services, and armored car training.

Figueroa described himself as a Boston constable, a former member of a U.S. Army Reserve military police unit, a bounty hunter in California and a former corrections officer. He also said he was trained in mixed martial arts. Constables are authorized to serve subpoenas and other legal documents.

Evans said Figueroa fired at the officers late Wednesday night shortly after they arrived at a home in the city’s East Boston neighborhood on a report of a fight between roommates. Several other officers who were stationed outside ran inside and exchanged gunfire with the suspect. “Two of the officers dragged their fellow officers out of the line of fire so they were in a protected zone, and the officers continued to engage in a gun exchange,�

Evans said.

The officers shot and killed the suspect and then began administering first aid to the wounded officers, one a 28-year veteran, the other a 12-year veteran of the force. “One officer had his hand

in one of the wounds and I think that was instrumental in getting the officer down to Mass General quickly,�

Evans said.

Both officers were taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where they were being treated for serious injuries. Nine other officers were being treated at Tufts Medical Center for trauma, stress and minor injuries.

Police, initially concerned that their might be a second suspect, ordered residents to shelter in place. That order was later lifted.

Police did not release the names of the wounded officers.

As is standard protocol following such events, the district attorney’s office said there would be an investigation into the use of deadly force. “They ran into a firefight here, able to pull two of their officers out safely, and again unfortunately, we had to take a life in doing it,� Evans said.

Iowa farmer gets 6 months for selling loan collateral CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — A northern Iowa farmer has been given six months in prison for selling corn that was pledged as collateral on federal Farm Service Agency loans of more than $196,000.

Fifty-nine-year-old Leroy Jones, of Floyd, was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids. The judge ordered Jones to pay nearly

$138,000 in restitution.

Jones pleaded guilty to one count of conversion of property pledged to the agency. Jones admitted during his plea hearing to removing or converting nearly 90,600 bushels of corn that he’d pledged as collateral. Jones said he sold the corn for nearly $333,000 from Dec. 1, 2014, through Sept. 30, 2015.

Officers cleared of killing man who was stabbing woman CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — Authorities say two Cedar Rapids officers were justified in fatally shooting a man who was stabbing his former girlfriend.

Officers Ashley Steil and Jeremiah White shot 25-year-old Markell Bivins on Sept. 12 after responding to a call about a domestic disturbance.

State investigators say the woman had refused to rekindle her relationship with Bivins, which prompted him to threaten her life.

The investigators say Bivins lunged at the woman and stabbed her after officers arrived at an apartment. White tackled Bivins and Steil shot

Bivins twice in the buttocks. Investigators say the woman got away, but Bivins continued to struggle with White, who then shot Bivins in the chest.

A report issued by the state attorney general’s office says Bivins “left the officers no choice but to use deadly force.�
