nodaway valley elementary project

School board hires construction manager

By IAN RICHARDSON

CNA staff reporter irichardson@crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley Community Schools is one step closer to replacing the oldest building in its district.

That step came Monday night when the district’s board of education named Hansen Company Inc. the manager of its new elementary school construction project.

Casey Berlau, Nodaway Valley superintendent, said the elementary building, which was built in the mid-1950s, has needed renova-

tions for several years in areas including flooring, ceiling, electricity and plumbing.

Berlau said after conducting a facilities study, the school realized Berlau making changes would mean disturbing asbestos and making several changes to comply with updated building code.

“We have all kinds of things that have been grandfathered in,” Berlau said. “When you start looking

into maybe upgrading or fixing those things, we would have gotten into a situation where we’d have to follow current Iowa building code.”

Roger Jensen, Nodaway Valley school board president, said the building has run its course.

“It’s one of those deals where it was almost cheaper to build a new one than renovate the old one,” Jensen said.

In the September school elections, local voters approved a $9.4 million bond to construct the new elementary. The bond had previously failed to pass during an

election in February, which Jensen said was due to lack of interest in the original design.

New features for this building include a permanent library and media center, larger lunch, art and physical education areas and a safe room.

“Right now, our current elementary does not have a safe room,” Berlau said. “That’s definitely something we’re excited about when we think about student safety.”

This elementary building will also have the capacity to accommodate the fifth grade, which is

currently using the middle school at Fontanelle.

During Monday’s meeting, the board also discussed the building design and location and approved bids for surveying and soil testing. Berlau said possible locations are north and east of the current building. He said he hopes to be able to use the current elementary building during the construction of the new one to avoid bringing in portable classrooms. The old elementary is then planned to be Please see SCHOOL, Page 2

Adams Street bridge in Creston to close Oct. 20, 21

Harvest weather: Clint Travis runs a combine through his soybean field east of Creston Thursday afternoon. According to the Iowa Department of Agriculture’s weekly weather report released Tuesday, the warm, dry weather conditions allowed Iowa farmers to harvest nearly onethird of the state’s soybean crop last week, bringing the total harvest to 65 percent on beans and 29 percent on corn. With ideal weather continuing this week, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said Tuesday that number should continue to rise. (CNA photo by IAN RICHARDSON)

On Tuesday, Adams Street between Lake Shore Drive and Cottonwood Street will be closed from 9 a.m. through 5 p.m. The area will reopen overnight, but will close again 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday.

The closure is needed so crews can conduct soil test bores for the upcoming replacement of the Adams Street bridge.

SWCC construction delay due to asbestos

Construction delay

CNA staff reporter khaugen@crestonnews.com

The board of directors discussed official fall enrollment numbers, a delay in construction due to asbestos and the new Regional Entrepreneurship Project in Union and Adams counties during a Southwestern Community College (SWCC) meeting Tuesday.

Work in the 200-bay hallway of the instructional building at SWCC has again been delayed, said Tom Lesan, SWCC vice president of economic development.

“Last Friday, Oct. 2, we were notified by the contractor that they had a suspicion there was asbestos in the ceiling material in the 200-bay hallway,” Lesan said. “Work stopped, workers

were sent home and we secured the area.”

On the following Sunday, SWCC brought in Iowa Environmental Services from Urbandale to take samples. The next morning, it was confirmed there was asbestos in the ceiling.

“The process will be a little slow, but anytime you get outside entities involved and have asbestos, you’re going to follow the rules,” Lesan said. “We’re definitely fol-

lowing protocol.”

He hopes SWCC will have a contract in place by the end of the week to abate the issue.

“I really can’t give much more of a timeline right now,” Lesan said.

Fall enrollment

Beth Kulow, SWCC dean of student services, reported the official fall headcount is 1,656 students – an increase of 3.4 percent since last year. The official fall credit hour total is 16,403, which

is a 2.4 percent increase.

Compared to enrollment at other Iowa community colleges, Kulow said SWCC is in good shape.

“I think it’s fair to say we fall a little above the top half,” she said. “In data from across the state, we see a 7 percent increase down to an 11 percent decrease in Please see SWCC, Page 2

He graduated from Lenox High School in 1942 and attended college at Maryville, Missouri before heading to the Coast Guard for action at the Aleutian Islands during World War II. After the war, he followed in his father’s footsteps by attending Palmer School of Chiropractic in Davenport. He set up his practice in Creston and his wife, Dorothy, also graduated from Palmer and

After Dorothy’s death, Doc retired from chiropractic. He married Mary Lou Hymbaugh and for a number of years, the couple lived in Creston and enjoyed their winters in Texas. For the past three years, the couple lived in Mount Ayr. Doc was a member of the First United Methodist Church, Kiwanis, Masons and Shriners, all in Creston.

He was a life member and commander of the Theodore J. Martens VFW Post No. 1797 of Creston.

Doc was preceded in death by his parents; first wife Dorothy; son Dr. Gary Pennebaker; brother-inlaw Robert Basler and stepson-in-law Kent Lowman.

Court blocks waters of the US rule, Young responds WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Water Rule was put on hold earlier this week, as the U.S. Court of A p p e a l s Young for the sixth circuit issued a stay nationwide. Rep. David Young, R-Iowa, has been a vocal critic of this rule.

“This is good news. Today’s court ruling on Waters of the U.S. reinforces what Iowans have been saying all along — this confusing and job-killing rule is a federal land grab,” Young said. “It hurts Iowa farmers, job cre-

ators and workers, communities and private land owners.”

Young said, “We have now seen the U.S. judicial system block the rule from going forward. In the House of Representatives we have been leading the fight, using several legislative measures to try and stop this damaging rule.

I will continue working with my colleagues in the House Appropriations Committee, on which I serve, and on the House floor to find a solution to stop this rule.”

David Young is the congressman serving all the people of Iowa’s third district, with offices in Des Moines, Creston and Council Bluffs.

He is a member of the Committee on Appropriations.

headcount.”

While the highest reported increase was 7 percent at one college, Kulow said the data was Kulow a bit skewed because there was a growth in high school population in that area.

“Everybody is really staying about even or (seeing) a decrease, so for us to have a 3.4 increase,

I’m ecstatic about that,” she said.

Regional Entrepreneurship Project The new Regional Entrepreneurship Project has been launched in Union and Adams counties, thanks to the University of Northern Iowa’s Business and Community Services.

The goal of the project is to encourage entrepreneurs to start businesses.

The university is collaborating with local economic development groups including Union County Development Association, Creston Chamber of Com-

merce, Southern Iowa Council of Governments and SWCC. “People starting their own businesses will bring new tax revenue into the system, hopefully,” Le- Lesan san said.

This is the fourth Regional Entrepreneurship Project in the state of Iowa.

The first public press conference will be at 11 a.m.

Tuesday at the Lauvstad Center in Corning. There

will also be a meeting in Creston at 1 p.m. Tuesday at 208 W. Taylor St. “I think a rural, strategic plan on how to promote people to start their own businesses will be unique,” Lesan said. “We’ll see if it won’t get a little job creation in the area.”

Biden aide seeks to keep VP’s name in the mix for 2016 WASHINGTON (AP) — Just as Democrats were starting to count him out, Joe Biden sent a clear signal through his political team that not only might he enter the presidential race soon, he has a strategy prepared that he thinks could win.

After months of growing calls for him to run, the vice president’s tide began turning this week after the first Democratic debate, which softened concerns about front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton while obscuring any obvious rationale for Biden to run. But in a letter to former Biden staffers late Thursday, one of Biden’s closest advisers traced the contours of the argument Biden would make, and suggested a decision to run could be imminent.

“If he runs, he will run because of his burning

Biden has reportedly phoned key Democrats in Iowa and New Hampshire this week. But they say he has not yet made a final call.

■

conviction that we need to fundamentally change the balance in our economy and the political structure to restore the ability of the middle class to get ahead,” former Sen. Ted Kaufman said in an email to a list of Biden alumni. The letter was obtained by The Associated Press.

Kaufman, who served as Biden’s chief of staff for two decades before replacing him in the Senate, has been at the vice president’s side for months, brought back into the immediate fold after Biden’s son died in May. He and two other aides have formed a pro-

tective and tight-lipped ring around Biden as he ponders a 2016 campaign.

“If he decides to run, we will need each and every one of you — yesterday,” Kaufman said, alluding to the breakneck speed at which Biden would have to ramp up a campaign after waiting this long to enter.

Kaufman said he is confident Biden understands “the practical demands of making a final decision soon.”

Although Biden’s small team has been drafting a campaign blueprint and screening likely staffers for months, the letter to

Biden’s former Senate, White House and campaign aides marked the most direct call to date for support for a potential campaign. It came as a growing number of Democratic leaders, including Clinton’s campaign chairman, expressed frustration with Biden’s delays and questioned whether it was already too late.

Yet even in the face of such skepticism, Biden has remained actively engaged in feeling out a potential campaign, placing calls this week to key Democrats in early primary states like Iowa and New Hampshire, said several individuals familiar with the conversations. These individuals weren’t authorized to comment publicly and requested anonymity. Still, they insisted that Biden had not yet made a final call.

15 million reasons for Iowans to review Medicare Rx plans DES MOINES — This is a critical time of year for the more than 500,000 Iowans who rely on Medicare for their health care, as the annual open enrollment period began Oct. 15.

According to Kris Gross, director of the Iowa Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP), over the next seven-plus weeks all recipients should take a fresh look at their prescription drug plan and make any needed changes — even if they’ve been happy with it.

Ron’s Pest Solutions

The annual open enrollment period for Medicare began Oct. 15 and will run through Dec. 7.

■

“The reason for that is because all of these plans, the Part D and Medicare Advantage plans, have a one-year contract with Medicare,” Gross said.

“They can change their premiums, deductibles, co-payments, co-insurance, the drugs they cover, the networks they work with, all of those things can change from year to

year.”

Gross said during last year’s open enrollment, SHIIP helped Iowans save more than $15 million, and most of that was from changing Part D and Medicare Advantage plans.

For those who want help reviewing plans available for 2016 to find which one is best for them, Gross said they can contact SHIIP

from anywhere in the state.

“We have counselors in most counties in Iowa and they can sit down with someone face to face and get a comparison done, get help understanding the changes or what their options are,” Gross said.

“For people who want to do it themselves, the Medicare website has an option for comparing plans on the Medicare plan finder.”

The Medicare open enrollment period runs through Dec. 7.

HEALTH

5 things everyone needs to know about vitamin B12 deficiency (BPT) — It’s common knowledge that vitamins are important to a person’s overall health, but few realize that a deficiency in some vitamins can cause serious medical problems.

For example, B12 deficiency is often overlooked or misunderstood because its symptoms - including fatigue, dizziness and numbness in hands or feet - can be easily mistaken for other conditions. However, the long-term effects of B12 deficiency can be much more wide-reaching and profound than most people think.

In fact, an estimated 48 million adults may have insufficient B12 levels, and two in five of those over the age of 60 may be low in B12.

Early detection and management of a B12 deficiency is crucial because if left untreated, it can progress and lead to permanent, irreversible nerve damage, serious neurological problems and even dementia.

“Most people - even those who are at highest risk, like the elderly and folks with gastrointestinal problems - aren’t aware of the detrimental effects that a deficiency in vitamin B12

can have on their overall health,” says Ralph Green, M.D., Ph.D., FRCPath, a noted authority on vitamin B12. “I equate what is reported about the number of people with problems caused by B12 deficiency to the tip of an iceberg. The bigger unknown is what’s hidden under the water, and the damage of what developing B12 deficiency can do.”

Following are five key things everyone should know about B12 deficiency: 1. B12 deficiency can lead to serious health issues.

Many people associate

vitamin B12 with energy production and alertness, but it’s also critical to keeping the body’s nerve and blood cells healthy. Without the proper absorption of B12, deficiency of this vitamin can occur and a person’s central nervous system’s function can suffer, and that can have serious mental and physical health ramifications, including irreversible damage to nerve cells, memory loss, depression or even dementia.

2. People over 60 are at the highest risk.

As many 25 million people age 60 and older may

have a B12 deficiency. As people age, the lining of the stomach can become thinner and less efficient at processing nutrients in food. As a result, B12 absorption can be significantly impaired.

So it’s important that people over the age of 60 have their B12 levels checked.

Ensuring the proper level may help to keep the mind sharp.

3. Common GI conditions can increase risk.

People with gastrointestinal illnesses, such as celiac and Crohn’s disease, are at greater risk for developing a B12 deficit because the

vitamin cannot be properly absorbed from food and typical dietary supplements.

In fact, two in five of people with celiac disease, and one in five with Crohn’s Disease may not be getting enough B12.

4. Certain medications can impact B12 absorption.

Researchers have found that patients who took acid reducers, called proton pump inhibitors, for more than two years were 65 percent more likely to have a vitamin B12 deficiency. In addition, people with diabetes who take the commonly prescribed treatment metformin are more than twice as likely to develop a deficiency.

5. A simple blood test can measure your vitamin B12 levels.

People should proactively ask to have their B12 levels checked as part of their regular healthcare checkup, particularly if they are over the age of 60 or have a GI-related disorder. The symptoms of a B12 deficiency may be non-specific and can include: *Weakness and fatigue, light-headedness and dizziness

*Palpitations, rapid heartbeat, and shortness of breath *A sore tongue that has a red, beefy appearance or may be completely smooth *Nausea or poor appetite, weight loss *Diarrhea *Yellowish tinge to the skin and eyes *Numbness and tingling in the hands and feet *Difficulty walking *Memory loss *Depression In cases where the absorption of B12 through diet or oral supplements is an issue, there are several treatment options, including monthly injections. A new oral treatment recently became available that utilizes special technology to ensure the body gets the B12 it needs by taking a pill once a day-without the need for injections.

As always, people should speak with their doctor about which treatment options may be right for them. For more information on B12 deficiency and management options, go to www.KnowYourB12. com and http://ods.od.nih. gov/factsheets/VitaminB12Consumer/.

Flu vaccine hits its target Last summer on “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon and Mark Wahlberg played a few rounds of Headshots, a bow and arrow game in which you try to shoot an object off your opponent’s head. Jimmy hit the mark about as often as the flu shot did last year.

That’s when, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the annual flu-fighter prevented infection from the top-circulating strain only about 13 percent of the time.

Fortunately, this year, health authorities are expecting the vaccine to be much more effective; they have incorporated changes in the influenza A (H3N2) virus and the influenza B virus components to target strains that will be the most prevalent. (In any given year, flu vaccines are about 50 to 60 percent effective for the overall population.)

So if you’re discouraged by last year’s results, don’t be. This year, it’s both important and effective to get vaccinated. Most health insurance plans cover the shot (or charge a nominal co-pay), and Medicare and Medicaid cover it.

If you’re over 65, consider getting the high-dose threestrain version (trivalent); a regular dose trivalent is now available for folks who are allergic to eggs (one version is cultured in eggs; the new one is grown in a cell culture instead). Anyone age 18-64 can go for the quadrivalent version (four strains). And overall, everyone 6 months and older and all pregnant women should be vaccinated. Talk to your doc about the right form of the vaccine

BIKE ACCIDENTS: UP FOR ADULTS, DOWN FOR KIDS David Byrne, front man and co-founder of the Talking Heads, is also an avid bicyclist. In 2010 he wrote “Bicycle Diaries,” tales of riding his bike in far-flung places, from Sydney to San Francisco. But one evening in New York, while pedaling back from an art opening (he doesn’t own a car), he slipped and broke two ribs. It could have been worse. A recent study found that the mortality rate among cyclists ages 35 to 54 has tripled in the past 40 years, from 0.11 to 0.31 per 100,000 riders.

Conversely, over the same period, the mortality rate for kids plummeted. The older set apparently needs to brush up on bike safety. True, more people are biking for exercise and to commute to work than ever before, but that’s no excuse.

Older bicycling adults remain at elevated risk.

So, while you may have heard this before, we’ll say it again: Wear a helmet! (Middle-agers need to protect their brain! And you want to show, not just tell, your kids how important helmets are.) Dress in bright/reflective clothes. Always have -and use -- a bell, and put a light on both the front and the back of your bike. Obey all traffic laws. When rid-

ing with friends, stay single file and to the right on bike paths. Don’t ride with headphones and NEVER text or use your cellphone when pedaling. Be aware of what’s happening around you! Bet your kids know these rules by heart. Now it’s your turn.

BEWARE SUGAR TRAPS FOR KIDS In “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” an overweight child named Augustus Gloop goes overboard for sweets and disappears in a vat of chocolate; in the story of Hansel and Gretel, the witch’s gingerbread house is too much for the kids to resist. Many cautionary tales warn children about the dangers of sweets, and yet research shows that boys (12-19) gulp 273 calories a day from sugary drinks, girls 171. Younger kids suck down 141 calories (boys) and 112 (girls). Sugary beverages are continuingly putting your kids at risk for obesity, diabetes, heart disease and depression.

That info comes on top of news that drinking sugary beverages is indicative of an overall poor diet; the more sugary drinks kids have, the lower their level of goodfor-you HDL cholesterol and the higher their level of potentially heart-harming triglycerides. The fact is that 1 in 3 children eats in a fastfood restaurant EVERY DAY! (That rate’s held steady for about 20 years.)

So, Mom and Dad, here

are simple steps you can take to change your child’s life (and if you’re a sugary drink guzzler, they can change yours, too): 1. No sodas (sweet or diet) in the house.

2. Send your kids to school with their own water bottles flavored with slices of fresh fruit (try strawberries, lemon, oranges and limes).

3. When your kids are thirsty, offer water and/or fresh fruit. Watermelon, a whole orange and mango are as thirst-quenching as they are delicious, and their fiber-rich goodness keeps their natural sugar from affecting body chemistry like sugar-added beverages do.

TIME OUT! BRAIN CHECK Estelle Getty (“Golden Girls”) died at 75 from complications of Lewy body dementia; Charles Bronson (“Death Wish”) battled Alzheimer’s before succumbing at age 81. Like them, millions of Americans face cognition problems while in their 70s. In fact, 44 percent of folks 75-84 and 15 percent of those 6574 have Alzheimer’s and/or another form of dementia.

So when a panel of experts recommended screening for cognitive problems starting at age 70, we thought it made sense.

Some causes of cognitive problems, such as depression, hypothyroidism, sleep apnea and medications, can be treated and even reversed. And the progression of cognitive diseases like vascular dementia or Alzheimer’s sometimes can be slowed by adopting a healthy diet; controlling high blood pressure, ele-

vated LDL cholesterol, and high blood glucose; and staying engaged in social and intellectual interest.

But why wait until you’re 70? Today you can ID risk factors for cognitive problems sooner and act to eliminate them! High blood pressure is a big culprit: One study found that 17 percent of dementia cases result from untreated or ineffectively treated midlife hypertension! And if your glucose level is 115 mg/dL (prediabetes), your risk of developing cognition problems jumps 18 percent; full-blown diabetes increases the risk 40 percent! So check your blood pressure and glucose levels with your doc. And at any age, ditch the Five Food Felons, eat 5-9 servings of fruits and veggies daily, get in your 10,000 steps every day and learn to manage stress and practice a stress management technique daily.

TRANSFORM YOUR BREAKFAST When legendary college basketball coach Dean Smith transformed the traditional fast break into the lightning-fast “Carolina Break,” the University of North Carolina started winning and Smith ended up with a record-breaking career win/loss record of 879254.

If you’re looking for a major transformation -losing weight and getting healthier -- you want to change your breakfast so you become a winner too.

How? A 12-week study of overweight and obese women found that those who ate a big breakfast, mid-size lunch and small dinner lost

over twice as much weight as women who took in the same calories, but in reverse order! Breakfast firsters also reduced waist circumference, lowered blood glucose, insulin resistance and levels of ghrelin, the hunger hormone.

Why does this work?

While science doesn’t have all the answers yet, here are some possible explanations: Eat more calories than you burn, fat is stored.

Burn more calories than you take in -- weight loss!

Since you burn more calories when you’re awake than when you’re asleep, doesn’t it make sense to eat most of your calories in the morning? Plus, that hearty first meal seems to stabilize weight-boosting blood sugar levels and helps increase your calorie burn all day long.

So to lose weight, have your highest-calorie meal in the morning. Enjoy a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fats like olive oil, only 100 percent whole grains and lean proteins (beans, nuts, salmon, ocean trout and skinless poultry).

You’ll make a fast break from your overweight past by turning your breakfast around. *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

In addition to waiting for cooler soil temperatures, farmers should also make sure that the soil is not too dry, too hard or too wet, as those conditions can cause injection issues and allow ammonia to move to the soil surface and be lost to the air.

RARE COMPANY McDermott becomes three-time H-10 champion

By SCOTT VICKER CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews. com

ATLANTIC — Creston’s Cooper McDermott entered rare territory when he won the Hawkeye 10 Conference Meet here Thursday at Atlantic Golf and Country Club.

McDermott raced away from Lewis Central’s Brenden O’Brien and Kuemper Catholic’s Chandler Hagen in the final mile of the race to claim his third straight Hawkeye 10 Conference individual title.

The Panther senior joins Glenwood’s Johnny Fuller (2008-10) as only the second harrier to win three Hawkeye 10 Conference titles since 1998. The conference’s archived records of previous individual champions only dates back to 1998.

Shenandoah’s Toby Franks (1998-99) and Creston’s Scott Vicker (2005-06) are the only other runners to win two indi-

vidual titles since 1998.

“It feels really great,” McDermott said. “I’m really blessed and happy to have all the support I’ve had throughout all the years I’ve been here. I have everybody to thank — the coaches, the fans, my parents, my teammates for giving me this opportunity.”

“He ran one heck of a race. He had to to become a three-time Hawkeye 10 Conference individual champion,” Panther head coach Pat Schlapia said.

“That puts him up with some pretty high-quality people. That’s never happened in Creston history.”

Flipping the script

In order to become a three-time champion, McDermott had to reverse his fortune from last week’s meet on the same course, when O’Brien charged past him in the final mile of the race for the victory.

Having a week to prepare for Thursday’s race on the same course gave McDermott plenty of time to come up with a new race

plan.

Part of his strategy was to stay right with O’Brien early in the race, and go out at a slower pace.

“Last time we went out really fast and that kind of killed my race for the later part,” McDermott said. “I was really happy we got out to a little slower start.”

But that strategy was a double-edged sword.

The slower start allowed Kuemper Catholic’s Hagen and Atlantic’s Ryan Hawkins to build an early lead and put a gap on the rest of the field. A mile and a half into the race, Hawkins had faded, but McDermott and O’Brien found themselves 11 seconds behind Hagen.

Had they let Hagen get out to far ahead? Could they reel him in?

“I was worried about it a little bit,” McDermott said. “I figured I’d be fine, but you never really know when they start going that far, because anybody can Please see CHAMPION, page 4S

Thunder storm rolls through Murray Third straight conference tourney title for Grand View Christian

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

MURRAY — The Grand View Christian Thunder lived up to their nickname Thursday, pounding out a 25-14, 25-14, 25-16 victory over host Murray to win their third straight Bluegrass Conference Tournament championship.

Murray took second place for the second time in three years, advancing in Thursday’s semifinal round over Mormon Trail 25-17, 25-16, 25-9. Eighth-ranked Grand View Christian disposed of Lamoni 25-22, 25-14, 25-16.

Murray (18-8) faced an uphill battle in all three sets against the Thunder (23-10).

An array of attacks from the likes of Cara Arrasmith, Abby Booth and Cheyenne Wright proved too much for the Lady Mustang defense,

which was also reeling from serve reception errors.

“I thought we came out fast and strong,” said Grand View Christian coach Arlie Brandmeyer. “We sort of shocked them at the beginning. We never let them sort of get back to the flow quick enough. The way we were running the offense, with good angles and decision making, was excellent tonight. Our setter (Ashlan Thompson) really does a nice job running it.”

Murray coach Jerry Shields said his team made too many errors to compete with such a powerful team.

“They have a lot of firepower and we could not serve receive at all tonight,” Shields said. “A team like that, you have to play flawless. If you make a lot of mistakes, they’re going to take advantage of them, and they did.”

The Thunder got out to a 10-2 lead in the first set and Booth’s six-point service run put the defending champs in front 18-8.

Breianna Klein served Murray from a 24-11 deficit at game point to 24-14, including one extremely long volley won by the Lady Mustangs playing active on defense. But it was too little, too late.

Zoie Lecy had kills on successive points midway through the second set to cut the Grand View Christian lead to 15-11. But, that’s when Wright, a quick-jumping Thunder sophomore, started working sharp angles with her attacks to openings in the Lady Mustang defense.

Thompson closed out that set with four straight service points, including an ace on the 25th point.

Spartans swept at Iowa Central FORT DODGE — Iowa Central stayed in the ICCAC Division II championship hunt Wednesday with a 25-17, 25-14, 25-17 sweep of Southwestern.

The Tritons, who have received national rankings votes, improved to 16-12 overall and 5-1 in ICCAC play to keep pace with league-leader and seventh-ranked Des Moines Area and jump in front of No. 15 Kirkwood for second place in the conference. DMACC swept Kirkwood in a key league match Wednesday.

Ali Grein recorded 21 kills and three blocks for Iowa Central, which improved to 4-0 at home in the Hodges Center.

“Southwestern knocked off Kirkwood last week, so we were concerned with them coming in here,” said Iowa Central coach Sara Horn. “It was just a very good performance from the first set to the third.”

After a back-and-forth start to the match, the Tritons reeled off 10 of 16

points to take a 20-14 lead.

They closed on a 5-2 run.

That momentum carried over into the second set with Iowa Central jumping out to 4-0, 10-4 and 18-11 leads.

It was much the same in the third set as Iowa Central controlled the net on the way to an 11-block night.

Southwestern (11-14, 2-4) was led by Xuntong Zhang, who had eight kills, and Carmen Subbert with six.

Krechele Brown had 13 digs.

“We were pretty off in this match,” SWCC coach Ting Liu said. “We had many hitting errors and we could not score well against Iowa Central.”

Southwestern hosts a non-conference match at 6:30 p.m. Monday against Highland, Kan.

Iowa Central 3, Southwestern 0 Attacks (kills) — Xuntong Zhang 8, Carmen Subbert 6, Marie Palmer 5, Madison Walston 2, Brooke Decker 2.

Digs — Krechele Brown 13, Brittany Landendoefer 8, Subbert 7, Zhang 3.

Middle school cross country Trojan Invitational ATLANTIC — The Creston Middle School cross country team finished with three individual medalists and the runner-up girls team here on Oct. 8 at the Trojan Invitational at Atlantic Golf and Country Club.

Rachel Boyer (11th), Allivea Skarda (12th) and Peyton Rice (18th) all earned top-20 individual medals.

That trio led the Panther girls team to a second-place finish behind Lewis Central.

LC scored 65 team points,

with Creston scoring 80.

Atlantic was third with 112 points.

Rounding out the team scoring for the Panthers were Brittany Linch (23rd) and Heylee Shields (26th).

“The girls team straight up brought it at Atlantic,” Creston coach Maggie Arnold said. “They had their sights set on a team title and put all their effort into achieving that. We came up a little short behind Lewis Central, but they showed a lot of guts. Ali Christensen had a season best

performance. Since the first meet of the year, she has cut off over 6 minutes from her 2-mile time.”

Daniel Merritt led the boys team in 13:36.15, just missing a top-20 medal by finishing 21st. The Panther boys team did not have enough members to score as a team.

served three straight points that included a block by Courtney Titus.

Then Shelby Myers served Murray to within 1413 as Jade Lecy and Titus each had blocks on a long point that ended on Lecy’s kill to the left sideline.

But that was as close as it got. Thompson served two aces during a three-point run to make it 23-14, and the match ended with another ace to the the middle of the court by Wright at 25-16.

“I told the kids, we had some flashes where we looked decent,” Shields said. “But three or four times, the ball would fall right in the middle of the floor with everyone standing and looking at each other. They blocked a lot better than I thought they would, based on their stats.

That made it tough for us to get going.”

Madison Gonseth led Murray with 19 kills and 12 blocks.

Brandi Gilbert had 10 digs Gonseth and 35 setting assists. Katie Otto was

solid in serve receive at 1213.

Shields was happier with his team’s sweep of Mormon Trail in the semifinals.

“Mormon Trail is a scrappy team,” he said. “They’re not very big, but if yoiu get the ball over the net, they’re going to get a hand on it.”

The Lady Mustangs open Class 1A regional play at home Tuesday against Iowa Christian Academy, which extended Murray to a fiveset match in the reguiar season. Grand View Christian meets Nodaway Valley in first-round action Tuesday at Greenfield.

“Grand View Christian is a quality ballclub,” Shields said. “I hope we might have a chance to play again (in regionals).”

have a good day. It’s anybody’s race.”

McDermott didn’t panic and quickly cut into Hagen’s lead. By the time McDermott crossed the 2-mile marker, he was only 4 seconds behind and had put a small gap on O’Brien.

Over the course of the next quarter-mile, McDermott caught up to and passed Hagen. Climbing the next hill, McDermott stretched his lead to about 5 seconds and he was never challenged again.

The Panther senior crossed the finish line in 17:08.34, an improvement of 9 seconds from last week’s meet, and 19 seconds ahead of runner-up O’Brien.

“Cooper basically exploded that last mile,” Schlapia said.

“I knew he was fired up for this. He just point blank said he didn’t want to talk about it, he just wanted to run it. That showed me he was ready for this race.”

McDermott said receiving

a pep talk Thursday morning from former teammate Jay Wolfe helped him stay relaxed going into the race.

“He sent me a text and we were watching videos from the last one (last year), and it really kind of got me loosened up and thinking about running with him,” McDermott said. “He told me just to think he was running with me, behind me. He knew I didn’t want to let him beat me.

Talking to him really helped me a lot.”

Medalists

Joining McDermott as medalists for the Panthers were junior Ben Irr and senior Jessica Beatty.

Irr ran one of his best races of the season in finishing sixth with his time of 17:54.93.

He got out fast ahead of the Irr McDermott and

“This is the best we’ve probably seen Ben run,” Schlapia said. “He improved by 20 seconds and ran a lot more determined, a lot more fluid today. That’s a good statement race for him to carry over into next week with the State Qualifying Meet.”

Beatty finished 17th in the girls race with her time of 21:59.40.

Atlantic’s Tiffany Williams defended her Hawk- Beatty eye 10 Conference title on her home course, running 20:01.18 for a 21-second margin of victory over Denison-Schleswig’s Ellie Mendlik.

Beatty led the Panther girls team to a seventh-place finish with 183 points. The Panther boys finished ninth with 199 points.

Denison-Schleswig edged Harlan for the girls title with 66 points, compared to 68.

Harlan ran away with the boys title with 56 points, as Lewis Central finished second with 110 points.

While Schlapia was disappointed with the team finishes, individually, 19 of 23 runners who ran at last week’s meet in Atlantic improved their times, including eight of 10 boys and 11 of 13 girls.

Some of the biggest improvements were from Steven Stow (1:20), Elyice Stow (2:12), Danielle Castillo (1:22) and Jordan Moreland (1:09). Castillo’s time was good enough to earn her a varsity spot for next week’s State Qualifying Meet in Glenwood.

“That was special to see we had some kids really improve as the season went on,” Schlapia said. “It’s always nice to see those JV kids, see a lot of them end on a positive note. That was one of our goals.”

The Panther varsity runners travel to Glenwood on Thursday, Oct. 22 for a Class 3A State Qualifying Meet. The top 15 individuals and top three teams in both boys and girls races will advance to the Oct. 31 State Cross Country Meet in Fort Dodge.

Vianne’s sister Isabelle, is a rebellious 18 year old searching for purpose with all the reckless passions of youth.

With the terrors of war all around her, she meets Gaetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love with him completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life, time and time again to save others. “The Nightingale” captures the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France. A heartbreaking beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women.

We were then treated to a fall decorated table and a delicious apple cake, which Fulton had made from the fruit of the apple trees in her back yard.

Afton Federated Garden Club

The regular meeting and fall luncheon met at the Lorimor Community Center at 9:30 a.m. Oct. 3 with the luncheon beginning at 11 a.m. After the tables were decorated, a short business meeting was called to order

by President Shirley Wallace at 10:15 a.m. Bev Rowe took the minutes of the meeting for Monica Huddleson.

Kathy Tapken made a motion to dispense with the minutes and treasurer’s report, and Marilyn Lorimor seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion carried.

Wallace presented the proposals for the changes in the club constitution and to the committee duties that had been proposed at the September meeting. After discussing them, Vicki Reese made a motion, seconded by Polly McCoy to adopt the proposed changes. All approved, motion carried.

Rowe put in a request to order new checks for the club. Marilyn Larimore made a motion to have the checks ordered. Audrey McDowell seconded it and motion carried.

Wallace put out a sign-up sheet for 2016 programs and hostesses. Wallace told us about Harvest Days at the Henry Wallace Place Oct. 3 and 4. She presented the Circle of Roses pin to Reese and thanked her for her contributions to the club.

Motion to adjourn was made and seconded, and food was set out for the luncheon. We had 31 present - 17 members of our club, eight members from the Winterset Sunshine Garden Club and five members from the Bevington Garden Club, plus speaker Steven Wainwright, aka “Johnny Appleseed.”

Between salads and dessert, Wallace introduced “Johnny Appleseed” from the Ladoga LaBlanche Orchards at www.littleredschoolhouseorchards@ gmail.com, located seven miles east of Bedford on Highway 2. “Johnny” told us a bit about his life — he was born John Chapman in 1774 and passed away in

1845. Contrary to popular belief, he started apple seeds in a nursery and planted apple trees as he traveled.

Johnny was a minister who was revered by all, colonists and Native Americas alike. Wainwright, who is also a minister, told us that the orchard that he and his wife operate is located on land originally homesteaded by his great-grandfather. He said they plant 100 new fruit trees every year. Wainwright invited the clubs to come to Bedford for a hayride, supper and apple cider making.

Wallace put out a paper for those who were interested to sign up. Plans were made to go from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Oct. 16 and everyone is welcome.

The next Afton Garden Club meeting will be 1:30 p.m. Nov. 13 at the Afton Community Center. Hostesses are Larimore and Gwen Sandeman. McDowell will give her roadside development report. Huddleson is in charge of the horticulture program about trees.

Keep your lawn and garden equipment in top shape With leaves to mulch, garden beds to clean out and yards to prepare for winter, autumn is a busy time for lawn and garden equipment users. The bustle of fall outdoor activities and chores can take a toll on outdoor power equipment, and it’s important for homeowners to check their equipment, maintain it well and store it properly for the winter.

The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), an international trade association representing power equipment, small engine and utility vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, offers the following tips to help homeowners keep their lawn and garden equipment in top shape, readying for winter storage: • Set up a safe work zone.

Identify a safe location with plenty of work space that is out of the way of children and pets. Work only in a well-ventilated area that is away from heat sources, sparks or flames.

• Collect your outdoor power equipment. This might include a lawn mower, generator, string trimmer, chain saw, edger, power washer, blower, chipper, splitter or other tool that uses a small engine to do outdoor work.

• Turn equipment off.

Before servicing or repairing any outdoor power equipment, disconnect the spark plug and battery cables.

• Protect yourself. Wear safety glasses and gloves to protect against harmful chemicals and debris.

• Inspect your outdoor power equipment. Make sure safety guards are not disabled or missing. Check for loose belts or missing or damaged guards. Check and tighten all screws and nuts.

• Clean your equipment.

Grass, leaves and dirt that have accumulated on equipment should be removed. Use a soft rag or cloth to clean away grime

and dirt.

• Drain the fuel. Stored equipment should not have fuel in its tank. Many fuels today contain ethanol, which absorbs water and may phase separate, causing operating problems. If there is fuel in the tank, remove what remains. Run the engine until the engine stops so the fuel is used up.

• Store leftover fuel properly. Gasoline should be stored no more than 30 days without being treated with a fuel stabilizer. Use a sealed container that is approved for fuel storage.

Always keep fuel out of the reach of children and away from heat sources or flames.

• Lubricate, sharpen, and charge as needed. Check the oil levels and blade conditions. Change the oil now if needed. Get lawn mower blades sharpened so it will be ready for spring. Inspect

the spark plug, replace it, and add clean engine oil.

Check the air filter and clean or replace as needed.

If equipment has a removable battery, take it out and store it in a warm spot. If you have a battery charger, charge the battery before storing it.

• Service equipment. If you are not comfortable performing some of these tasks or think that your equipment needs additional servicing, now is a good time to take it to a dealer or repair shop.

• Identify and clear a safe storage space. An indoor storage area will protect equipment from the elements. Your storage area should be cool and dry, and equipment should be out of the reach of children and pets. Store equipment away from pool chemicals, cleaners, or fertilizers—anything that could cause corrosion from spills.

• Properly store supplies. Using approved storage containers for lawn care or yard supplies will help avoid spills in storage spaces. Leftover materials should be stored in sealed containers, so pests like rodents are not drawn to them. Keep containers out

of the reach of children and pets.

• Locate your winter outdoor power equipment.

Locate snow shovels, snow blowers or throwers, ice scrapers, ice melt or rock salt. If you are low on winter supplies, now is a good time to stock up. Place win-

ter equipment and supplies in an accessible location so they can be found easily when the first snowflakes and ice arrive.
