Social Security recipients to get tiny increase in benefits WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of Social Security recipients and federal retirees will get a 0.3 percent increase in monthly benefits next year, the fifth year in a row that older Americans will have to settle for historically low raises.

There was no increase this year. Next year’s benefit hike will be small because inflation is low, driven in part by lower fuel prices.

The federal government announced the cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, Tuesday morning. By law, the COLA is based on a government measure of consumer prices.

The COLA affects more than 70 million people — about 1 in 5 Americans.

The average monthly Social Security payment is $1,238. That translates into a monthly increase of less than $4 a month.

More bad news for seniors: Medicare Part B premiums, which are usually deducted from Social Security payments, are expected to increase next year to the point in which they will probably wipe out the entire COLA. By law, the dollar increase in Medicare’s Part B premium cannot exceed a beneficiary’s cost-of-living raise.

That’s known as the “hold harmless” provision, and it protects the majority of Medicare recipients.

But another federal law says that the Part B premium must raise enough money to

cover one-fourth of expected spending on doctors’ services.

That means that a minority of beneficiaries, including new enrollees and higher-income people, have to shoulder the full increase. Their premiums would jump.

Millicent Graves, a retired veterinary technician, says Medicare and supplemental insurance premiums eat up nearly a third of her $929 monthly Social Security payment. And don’t tell the 72-year-old from Williamsburg, Virginia, that consumer prices aren’t going up. She says her insurance premiums went up by $46.50 this year, and her cable TV, Internet and phone bill went up, too.

“I just lose and lose and lose and lose,” Graves said.

More than 60 million retirees, disabled workers, spouses and children get Social Security benefits. The COLA also affects benefits for about 4 million disabled veterans, 2.5 million federal retirees and their survivors, and more than 8 million people who get Supplemental Security Income, the disability program for the poor. Many people who get SSI also receive Social Security.

Since 2008, the COLA has been above 2 percent only once, in 2011. It’s been zero three times.

CORNING — As the Nov. 8 general election looms near, local elections are also on the horizon. In Adams County, two vie for the position of Adams County sheriff, while the two running for Adams County Board of Supervisors and one running for auditor are uncontested.

Johannes Adams County Sheriff Alan Johannes has been sheriff since 2011, and is running for his second full term.

“I enjoy helping people,” Johannes said.

Johannes, 51, of Bridgewater graduated in 1984 from C o r n ing High School before going into the U.S. Army the following year. After Johannes a four-year

stint in the military, he worked several factory and farming jobs before breaking into the law enforcement field.

In 2003, Johannes became a police officer for Corning Police Department. For two years, he served the town of Corning and in 2005 was hired as a sheriff’s deputy for Adams County Sheriff’s Office under the former sheriff, Bill Lyddon.

In 2011, Lyddon retired and appointed Johannes, who completed Lyddon’s term.

“I felt I was the best one for the job,” Johannes said.

Johannes then ran uncontested for sheriff in the 2012 general election and won.

Since then, he’s attempted to get the department to be more involved in the community.

“We’ve tried to be involved in the schools more than we used to be, with our kids, to make sure we’re there for them. We’ve tried to make sure the relations between the sheriff’s office and the people are good, and the people are treated with respect,” Johannes said. “We have great people in the community. I want to make sure we’re there for them because that’s why we’re here.”

As sheriff, Johannes has also transitioned to mobile citations for the deputies and ADAMS | 2A

Survey: More first-timers than expected are now buying homes WASHINGTON (AP) — First-time buyers may be entering the U.S. home market in greater numbers than industry watchers had assumed.

Nearly half of sales in the past year went to people who were buying their first home, according to a survey released Tuesday by the real estate firm Zillow. That’s a much higher proportion of the market than some other industry estimates had indicated.

Zillow’s survey results suggest that this year’s growth in

home sales has come largely from a wave of couples in their 30s, who are the most common first-time buyers.

If that trend were to hold, it could raise hopes that today’s vast generation of 18-to-34year-old millennials will help support the housing market as more of them move into their 30s.

That’s among the findings in a 168-page report by Seattle-based Zillow. Its survey HOMES | 2A

Bridge work: A construction crew works this morning on the bridge on West Adams Street located at McKinley Lake in Creston. The intersection of Adams Street, 170th Street and Cottonwood Road closed this morning for storm-sewer replacement connected to the bridge project. The closure is expected to last until Thursday, and when the intersection reopens, the street surface will be road rock until the concrete surfacing is replaced, so caution is advised at the intersection.

Evelyn Stevenson Clearfield

Evelyn Morey Stevenson, 106, of Clearfield died Friday, Oct. 14, 2016, at Clearview Home in Clearfield.

Visitation will be from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.

Thursday, Oct. 20, at Clearfield Christian Church in Clearfield, with ser- Stevenson vices beginning at 10:30 a.m. Burial is in Clearfield Cemetery. Memorials may be made to Clearfield Library or Clearview Home.

Armstrong Funeral Home of Clearfield and Mount Ayr is in charge of the arrangements and online condolences may be left at www.armstrongfh.com.

Evelyn, daughter of Elvin and Myra (Griffith) McMath, was born March 30, 1910, near Drakesville and later moved with her family to Clearfield. After graduating from Clearfield High School, she taught in the rural schools for several years.

On Dec. 21, 1934, she married Dwight Morey. They farmed north of Clearfield before moving to town and operating Morey’s Variety Store. After Dwight died in

also found that home ownership is increasingly the domain of the college-educated. And it indicated that older Americans who are seeking to downsize are paying premiums for smaller houses.

Here’s a breakdown of Zillow’s findings: First-time buyers make up a larger chunk of the housing market than the real estate industry has generally thought.

Forty-seven percent of purchases in the past year went to first-time buyers. Their median age was 33. By contrast, surveys from the National Association of Realtors have indicated that first-timers account for about 32 percent of all buyers.

The difference between the two surveys may stem from their methodologies. The NAR has used a mail-based survey for its annual figures, while Zillow used an online survey that might have generated more responses from younger buyers. The Zillow findings might help to explain why there is a shortage of listings on the housing market.

Unlike move-up buyers, people buying their first home don’t have a property to list for sale, depriving the market of inventory.

Adam DeSanctis, an NAR spokesman, noted that his organization’s survey out later this month will show a rising share of first-time buyers, although it remains below the historical average of 39 percent since the organization began tracking this figure in 1982.

DeSanctis also noted that government figures show home ownership among young adults is at its lowest level in history, which is why his organization is skeptical that nearly half of sales go to first-time buyers.

1953, Evelyn continued operating the store for some time until it closed. She then worked at Clearfield Community School as secretary to the superintendent and board secretary, positions she held for 17 years.

On Sept. 17, 1978, she married Joe Stevenson. In 2004, they moved to Clearview Nursing Home, and Joe died in 2006.

Evelyn is survived by her sons, Ed (Georgia) Morey of Bentonville, Arkansas, and John (Donna) Morey of Shenandoah; daughter Myrabel (Allen) Lillie of Mesa, Arizona; daughters-in-law, Joye Morey of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, and Shirley Morey of Fort Collins, Colorado; stepdaughters, Donna (Marion) Keenan of Bolivar, Missouri, Jeannine (Guy) Hampton of Leon and Judy (Bill) Mozingo of Grant City, Missouri; grandchildren, Jill, Lisa, Jana, Holly, Sarah, Jeff, John M., David, Mike and John L.; eight great-grandchildren; seven great-great-grandchildren; many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, and her adopted family at Clearview Nursing Home.

Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents; two husbands; son James Morey; sisters, Myrtha Nelson, Margaret Colton and Wilma McMath (in infancy) and brothers-in-law, Harley Nelson and Merle Colton.

upgraded all patrol vehicles and equipment the deputies use in their vehicles. He plans to upgrade their weapons by getting new rifles for the officers in the future.

“I think the years of experience, knowing the county like I know it and knowing the people makes me the best choice,” Johannes said.

“I would like to be the sheriff for the next four years to be there for the people. I want the people of the community to continue to be treated with respect.”

Lillie Running against Johannes is Bob Lillie of Corning.

Lillie, 48, is a 1987 graduate of Lenox High School. He went into the U.S. military in 1987 and retired from the Army in Lillie 2007 as infantry first sergeant. He also attended Troy University in Troy, Alabama, for a time.

In 2009, Lillie joined Adams County Sheriff’s Office as a deputy.

“I like helping people,” Lillie said.

Lillie is running against Johannes because he wants to “put honesty and morals and ethics back in the leadership.”

“We don’t have that in Adams County Sheriff’s Office as far as the leadership there,” Lillie said. “His personal judgments interfered with his professional judgments.”

According to Lillie, he and the other deputies learned Johannes had lied to them to cause a rift within the department. By doing that, he divided the deputies and continued lying.

“At that point we called him into the office and told him we no longer support him.

We have had a discussion with him several months prior to that about the lies and the deceits, and we wanted it to stop.

It didn’t,” Lillie said. “At that point, the deputies agreed we wanted me to run for sheriff, and we wanted the board and the county to know exactly what we were dealing with.”

Lillie was referring to several Adams County Board of Supervisors meetings in August, when he and several other deputies attended the meetings to discuss concerns they had about Johannes’ administration.

without a college degree. Sixty-two percent of buyers have at least a four-year college degree. Census figures show that just 33 percent of the U.S. adults graduated from college.

The gap between the education levels of homebuyers and the broader U.S. population indicates that workers with only a high school degree are becoming less likely to own a home.

This is a major shift for the middle class. Just 12 percent of homeowners in 1986 were college graduates, according to government figures. The trend is driven in part by falling incomes for people with only a high school degree.

Millennial home buyers are increasingly Hispanic Out of the 74 million U.S. households that own their homes, a sizable majority — 77 percent — are white.

But these demographics are changing fast. Only 66 percent of millennial homeowners are white. The big gains have come from Latinos, who make up 17 percent of millennial homeowners but just 9 percent of all homeowners.

Asians also make up a greater share of millennials.

This means that as today’s millennial generation ages, the housing market may look considerably more diverse than it does now.

savings far more quickly than planned,” said Mary Johnson of the Senior Citizens League. “Over the course of a 25- or 30-year retirement, it reduces anticipated Social Security income by tens of thousands of dollars.”

By law, the cost-of-living adjustment is based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, or CPI-W, a broad measure of consumer prices generated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

It measures price changes for food, housing, clothing, transportation, energy, medical care, recreation and education.

The COLA is calculated using the average CPI-W for July, August and September.

If prices go up, benefits go up. If prices drop or stay flat, benefits stay the same.

Some advocates complain that the government’s measure of inflation doesn’t reflect the costs many older Americans face.

For example, gasoline prices have fallen by nearly 18 percent over the past year, according to the August inflation report, while the cost of medical care has gone up by more than 5 percent.

For seniors who don’t drive much, they don’t get the full benefit of low gas prices, said Max Gulker, a senior research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research. Many seniors, however, spend more of their income on health care.

Graves said she appreciates lower gas prices, but doesn’t drive much.

“I just have to rely more each month on cashing in investments,” Graves said.

“I’m lucky I can do that.”

Older Americans aren’t just downsizing; they’re also upgrading

The so-called “silent generation” — those ages 65 to 75— bought homes in the past year with a median size of just 1,800 square feet, about 220 square feet smaller than the homes they sold. But that smaller new home still cost more. These retirement-age buyers paid a median of $250,000, nearly $30,000 more than the home they sold.

According to the minutes printed Aug. 4, “he (Lillie) said there is no trust or confidence in the sheriff due to his lying and creating animosity within the entire department.

His (Johannes’) personal relationship with a member of the staff has interfered with his ability to run the department. It has caused all of the deputies and some dispatchers to want to look for other employment.”

“I want the deputies to know that when they’re out there doing their job, they don’t have to worry about what’s behind them,” Lillie said. “We go to work now, we worry about what’s in front of us, the threats in front of us, but we also worry about what the sheriff’s going to do next. They won’t have to worry about that.”

Lillie said he wants to push for more training for the deputies and upgrade their weapons systems by obtaining better optics, which help in limited visibility. He also hopes to instigate monthly counseling to improve officers’ work by correcting mistakes and holding himself and the officers accountable.

“Most of my life I’ve led soldiers. I know what it takes to be a leader. I have the experience to be a leader and manage people. I led a 138man company into combat. I think I can handle six deputies,” Lillie said. “My biggest thing on this is I’m not doing this for my personal gain. I don’t need it. I’m doing this because we have some of the best deputies in these counties. ... If something doesn’t change, we won’t have the good officers we have.”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, October 18, 2016

Record ratings for Wednesday’s debate?

HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Kim Kardashian sued Media Takeout for libel for printing she faked the robbery in her Paris hotel room for the insurance money.

The scare made her more spiritual. Kim said she wishes she could take a selfie of her with Jesus, although most people would say that Jesus has suffered enough.

Daily Variety forecast record ratings for Wednesday’s debate between Trump and Hillary. It is neck and neck. With three weeks to go, the number of women accusing Donald Trump of sexual assault is tied with the number of Hillary Clinton aides who have received immunity from prosecution.

Donald Trump angrily denied charges by eight women who went public accusing him of past epi-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

sodes of sexually assaulting them or groping them Friday. That’s the bad news. The good news is, Donald Trump just got an offer from Kraft to be the new commercial spokesman for Jell-O Pudding.

Donald Trump advisors targeted Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Michigan and North Carolina as his path to victory. Campaign strategy can really backfire. Donald Trump pulled out of Virginia on Friday and then Virginia went straight to attorney Gloria Allred with the details of what happened.

The L.A. Times daily tracking poll infuriated Democrats Friday

when its results agreed with the Rasmussen poll that the race is tied nationwide. What do they expect?

Whenever Americans are forced to choose between taking their medicine as directed or enjoying a good comedy, it’s no contest.

Donald Trump accused the media of lying about him to aid Hillary. The New York tabloids followed Trump for 30 years and no one accused him of sex misdeeds till he turned GOP. There must be something about freeing slaves and lowering taxes that gives a man the right to any woman he wants.

WikiLeaks revealed e-mails showing that the White House, the Justice Department, the State Department and the media acted in collusion with Hillary’s campaign to assist her nomination and eventual election to the presidency.

What’s the big surprise? Hillary always said it takes a village.

Michael Jackson topped the list of top-earning dead celebrities with $800 million in earnings last year. It’s no surprise. During his life, Michael Jackson went from being a black superstar who could appeal to white audiences to a white superstar who appealed to black audiences.

The U.S. economy teetered last week on news of Big Bank problems, low retail sales, tumbling oil prices and WalMart closings. It’s all shaping up. If Obama can leave the country in the same shape as it was when he moved into the White House, he gets to keep the deposit when he moves out.

President Obama freed 200 more federal inmates last week on top of the 200 Guantanamo detainees and 700 federal inmates he

previously freed. His legacy is now intact. American history books will show that Lincoln freed the slaves and Obama freed the prisoners.

Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature Thursday for his lifetime of profoundly powerful song lyrics. He should split the award with his English translators. Upon hearing the news, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger immediately went to work on their folk song albums.

Vladimir Putin threatened a global war against the West Tuesday after the British Parliament condemned Russia’s bombing of Syria’s rebel capital of Aleppo.

Satellite photographs showed a spectacular warehouse fire set by multiple explosions. It looked like a Samsung shareholders meeting.

Letter to the editor

More thoughts on judicial retention From Randy Hughes Creston

Varnum v. Brien riled up a bunch of folks. It still is reflected in the signs that are displayed in many yards and along public highways and streets.

For the edification of any who are opposing the justices on that basis you may want to consider Articles One and Six of the Iowa Constitution and the Fourteenth

Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. If you are seeking justices who have not read the Iowa Constitution or the U.S. Constitution or, who do not believe what is written so clearly in them, or who will betray their sworn duty to preserve, protect and defend them, that may be opening the door to rule by whim and not rule by law.

Believe what you will; vote how you wish; but, the law is the law, and the law declares that citizens have equal rights.

2016

Thank you for your support in the past and I ask for everyone’s support in this important election for Union County Supervisor.

I really miss being a county supervisor. I had the opportunity to work with great people from the local, state and federal levels to improve our county and Southwest Iowa.

I am still serving Union County by serving on the Heartland Board of Directors, Empowerment and Southern Iowa Resource, Conservation and Development Area Inc. Heartland is Innovative Industries, Southern Iowa Residential Facilities, SERF, SS of SCI and C.A.R.E. in Afton.

We have a broad variety of services in our community for the disabled, programs for intellectually challenged, physically and mentally disabled also. We have the ability to serve individuals by the hour as needed and/or apartments and including 24-7 services.

Empowerment Vision: Every Child, beginning at birth will be healthy and successful. Early Childhood Iowa is a state-funded program to help preschool providers and families and kids ages birth to 5. I stayed on this board at their request because we were regionalizing from one county to four counties.

Southern Iowa Resource, Conservation and Development Area, Inc. (SIRC&D) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit contract service organization that serves a seven-county area of southern lowa. We work with community members and leaders to develop great ideas and build partnerships.

In the 1980s, we had a terrible drought. I was a newly elected county supervisor and walked into the RC&D office and said I wanted to build Three Mile Lake.

They asked, “You sure you want to do this?”

I said, “We have to. We are hauling water to small towns,

and ponds and creeks are drying up. And in some places, the quality of the water is terrible.”

They said they would set up a meeting. This meeting was made up of Union County Board of Supervisors, Union County Conservation Board, Union County Soil and Water Conservation District, Adair County Board of Supervisors, Adair Soil and Water Conservation District, Southern Iowa Rural Water Association, Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the city of Afton. They made me chairman, and after a lot of great work with great people from federal, state, and local levels, we have an 880-acre lake serving seven counties through the Creston treatment plant and SIRWA rural water lines. When we started Three Mile Lake, SIRWA had 1,000 customers. Today they have 34,500 people served and they are in 11 counties.

I am the candidate that has helped develop, build and believe in good to great infrastructure and services. That includes everything from good roads, Three Mile Lake, recreation, flood control, soil conservation and economic development This has given a better quality of life for humans and livestock.

It cost us $10 million to build Three Mile Lake. Union County’s share was approximately $750,000. DNR tells me Three Mile Lake brings in $10 million to the area every year. That’s 100 percent payback every year.

Pretty good investment, folks.

Today, our RC&D and Clarke County are purchasing land in Clarke County to build an 800plus acre lake. We have more than half the land purchased now. We need the lake for rural and municipal water.

I was contacted by farmers in the Three and Twelve Mile Lakes watersheds. They had been cut off regular routes to Creston. I walked the ridge north of Knotty Pine and thought it would make a good road for access to Hwy 34 and the REA Road. I convinced the board of supervisors and county engineer to build the road.

I understand the road funding systems and know the right questions to ask when we are discussing roads. The paving south of Thayer to the quarry was seal coat and we were patching it every year.

I said, “This road is a farm to market road and qualifies for state and federal funding and the bridges qualify for BROS funding. Let’s pave it, replace bridges and use our local dollars for other projects countywide.”

I contacted the Afton Rec Director Marilyn Seeley and said I would like to build a ball field west of the new East Union School. She thought it was a great idea. I talked to Frank Adams for dozer work, Ken Cheers for land, Rusk Brothers, Tom and Jack, and Lanny Benoit for fuel. Today we have a beautiful ball park because of these great and generous people.

When the heat tech building closed, I talked with the Afton Mayor Gary Clear and asked him if he wanted the building for school or jobs. He said jobs.

I contacted Bunn-O-Matic employees and told them they could buy the building for the cost of the concrete it sets on. It’s great to see new jobs come to town.

I worked with the Afton people on the walking trail in Afton.

The dream was it would go to Three Mile on Creamery Road, the shooting range, to REA Road to Green Valley Lake. We could host events on it: running, swimming, shooting and walking.

We are blessed with the towns, diversified industry and agriculture services we have. Our economic development people are doing great things as developing new leaders, housing, jobs, improving our parks and preserving our historic areas. Our education system from preschool through college is great.

Our hospital, medical staff, mental health, hospice, dental and physical support systems, including the YMCA, are great.

I tell everyone that we live in the most beautiful place in the world and the Indians named it Iowa, “Beautiful Land.”

No-brainer: $300K campaign to rescue Dorothy’s ruby slippers WASHINGTON (AP) — It will take more than three clicks of the heels to restore the ruby slippers that whisked Dorothy back to Kansas at the end of “The Wizard of Oz.” The slippers, which for more than 30 years have been one of the most beloved items at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, were crafted almost 80 years ago by the MGM Studios prop department. Like most movie props, they weren’t built to last. Now, the frayed shoes aren’t even ruby-colored anymore — they’re more like a dull auburn.

On Monday, the Smithsonian asked the public to help save the slippers, launching a Kickstarter campaign to raise $300,000.

In addition to restoring the shoes’ color, the money will go toward a technologically advanced display case that will preserve them for future generations.

The Smithsonian’s museums are federally funded, but the institution frequently solicits private and corporate contributions for major projects that its budget doesn’t cover. This is the Smithsonian’s second Kickstarter campaign. In 2015, the National Air and Space Museum raised $700,000 through the crowd-funding site to preserve the space-

suit that Neil Armstrong wore when he walked on the moon.

“This particular pair of ruby slippers really belongs to the American people, and so we thought as we sought support that we would invite the public to join us on this journey to help preserve them for the next generation,” said Melinda Machado, a museum spokeswoman.

The shoes are the most recognizable prop for the beloved 1939 musical, their deep red hue dazzling audiences when the movie made its dramatic transition from black-and-white to Technicolor. They have been on near-constant display since they were anonymously donated to the museum in 1979.

Preserving them is more complicated than it might appear, Machado said. The slippers contain a dozen different materials. The gelatin-based sequins are a relic from the infancy of plastic.

They also include glass beads and red felt on the soles that was used to muffle their sound when Judy Garland wore them during dance sequences.

“We’re going to have to do a lot of scientific research to come up with a treatment plan that is compatible with all of the different materials,” Machado

said.

As of Tuesday morning, donors had pledged more than $38,000 on Kickstarter. If the museum does not reach its $300,000 goal in 30 days, no one will be charged. Donations start at $1 and, depending how much they give, contributors can receive rewards including T-shirts and tote bags created by William Ivey Long, a Tony award-winning costume designer.

A charge to check Dear Heloise: Once again, I shopped at a large, wellknown retail store that I frequent at least once a week.

Once again, as I was leaving and casually looking over my receipt as I walked out, I noticed I was charged twice for an item I purchased. I bought one large package of paper towels, but I was charged for two, which was a $15 OVERCHARGE! Cashiers typically cannot refund money, so I then have to walk to customer service and wait in yet another line to get the overcharge returned. This has happened several times at different stores, so I am now very diligent about checking the receipt before I leave. My hint is to check all receipts before leaving a store or parking lot! – Kelly L., via email Kelly, this is a good reminder to stay alert. Mistakes happen, but as a consumer, we have to keep track of our own money and purchases (or nonpurchases). – Heloise CLEANING PUMPKINS Dear Heloise: I discovered that the perfect tool for cleaning out a pumpkin before it is carved into a jack-o’-lantern is the flat, circular lid that fits inside a canning-jar ring.

Hints from Heloise fits beautifully to the concave interior of the pumpkin and makes for very clean and easy scraping. Cleaning out a pumpkin becomes fast and easy! – Lorayne B., Lexington, Ky. LEFTOVER PAINT Dear Heloise: I recently finished redecorating my home and found myself faced with several gallons of partially filled cans of paint.

I came up with the hint of buying a dozen pint-size glass canning jars and lids. I filled them with the various paints and labeled each one as to which room it was for and if it was flat or semi-gloss paint. I stored them in a cool, dark closet, and I have just enough to use for touch-ups if I ever need it. I then disposed of the big, messy cans at a proper disposal site. My daughter calls this one of “Mom’s humdinger ideas.” – Lynn C., Falls Church, Va. CLICK AND SAVE Dear Heloise: In a recent column, a reader suggested ordering multiple items from a catalog separately because

HELPING HAND Dear Heloise: Because of arthritis in my hands, I have trouble opening pulltab cans. I have found that bending up the tab starts a small opening, and then the tip of a spoon can pry the lid open enough to make popping it off easy.

Also, when faced with a plastic lid attached at several points to a plastic ring around the neck of a jar, I use a nut pick to pop all of BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker the connections. The lid then comes off very easily. – Marilyn H., Sacramento, Calif.

Adair County Board of Supervisors makes changes on election ballot GREENFIELD – The Adair County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution July 11 to put a question on the Nov. 8 general election ballot to change the township trustees and clerk positions from elected to appointed.

Currently, 10 townships appoint the trustees and clerk. Harrison, Jefferson, Lincoln, Richland, Union, Walnut and Washington currently elect the trustees and clerk. If township voters pass this question, it would change these offices to be filled by appointment and the appointment would be for a four-year term. When a vacancy occurs, the remaining position holders would choose a replacement, and then present that name to the board of supervisors for ap-

pointment. If the remaining position holders were unable to find a replacement, the board of supervisors work to find the replacement.

The reasons for this proposed change are two-fold.

First, the same people tend to be elected each time the position comes up for election with no opposition for the office. This change would no longer require that person to have his or her name put on the ballot. This would also save trying to fill the position by write-in when no one puts their name on the ballot.

Secondly, this change would save Adair County money. The programming and ballot production costs are based on the number of ballot styles in the county.

If all townships were to pass

this public measure there would be five ballot styles.

This year, the county has 13 ballot styles.

If passed, the people elected in 2014 would serve through 2018, and then, if they wanted to remain in the position, would be appointed at the first meeting in January 2019. The people that are on the ballot in 2016 would be appointed at the first meeting in January 2021. If a vacancy occurs after the question is passed, the replacement person would be appointed. Every four years, the person would be reappointed until they no longer want the position.  With any questions, contact the Adair County Auditor’s office at 641-7432546. Â

Creston band results The Creston High School marching band received a Division I rating Saturday during the Iowa High School Music Association State Marching Contest at Treynor High School.

This is the 28th-consecutive Division I rating the band has received at State Marching Band – a record that has gone back to 1989.

In the 61st-annual Southwest Iowa Band Jamboree held Oct. 1 in Clarinda, CHS placed second in 3A for both parade and field competition and third place in the overall scores out of 22 bands – a combination of parade and field scores regardless of school size. The only bands that were ahead of CHS were Millard South from Omaha, Nebraska, and Waverly High School from Waverly, Nebraska,

making CHS the top-scoring Iowa band. The Creston Middle School band took first place in middle school category of the parade competition.

At the Valleyfest competition held Oct. 8 in West Des Moines, CHS placed sixth out of 11 bands in 3A with one of the highest scores CHS has ever received. CHS was just out of fifth place by three-tenths of a point and out of fourth by two points. CHS was ahead of seventh by 10.5 points. The evening show did not go as well, and CHS ended up in seventh place. “But, it was a very successful season,� said Mike Peters, CHS band director. “I was so proud of the kids. They took a very difficult show and made it the talk of every single

contest we went to. When we were coming off the field, there were kids from other schools yelling at my kids, ‘We want to be in your band! We want to be your band!’ Everywhere they would go after the performances, the kids would be stopped. I told the kids that that was more important than any ratings or placings you can ever receive.�

Peters added: “The whole year was great.

With all the volunteer parents and alumni that came back to help move equipment, organize kids, build props to the new directors, Ryan and Audrey Linke, who helped with rehearsals and my wonderful wife, who had probably one of the best color guards we have ever had here at Creston.�

Third-annual LC Open Trap Shoot is a hit Participants came from near and far – Afton, Greenfield, Mount Ayr, Tingley, Lorimor, Creston and Bridgewater, and from Lovilia, Des Moines, Slater, Omaha, Nebraska, and Pine City, Minnesota.

They came as friends and family, young and old, and gathered at the High Lakes Outdoor Alliance shooting range Sept. 24 for the challenge of the shoot, the company of friends and the enjoyment of the great outdoors at the third-annual LC Open Trap shoot. Â The shoot focased on trap, with a little skeet thrown in for good measure, and the hint of possibilities of a .22 caliber profile target shoot.

When it was all over, the trophies and medals awarded were not the most important thing but certainly were due recognition for the action that had taken place. Among 12 to 14-year-olds, Ethan Mitchell of Afton prevailed, missing only two targets out of 50. He was followed by Nate Purdy and Gaven Tomas.

Panther volleyball gains momentum in regular season finale Creston opens postseason at Red Oak Wednesday

n

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — Creston’s volleyball team played with more confidence than it has in most matches recently.

While the final score ended up in Red Oak’s favor, 3-0, 25-12, 25-16 and 25-17, Panthers coach Polly Luther saw her team compete much

better.

“We played better than we have,” Luther said. “If we could just gain a little bit of confidence, we could see something special out of them.”

Creston’s lack of success this season has left the team frustrated at times.

The Panthers attitude changed Monday.

“I did see a different attitude out of our kids,” Luther said. “They never gave up. They’ve had nights where I like to compare them to the wicked witch of the west where she had water dumped on her and she melted. We’ve been guilty of melting. Tonight we continued to come out and give

something, do things.”

The Panthers were close in a couple of the sets before the Tigers pulled away.

“We gave them a run,” Luther said. “A lot of times we were within a point of tow. I was proud of the girls.

The scores may not reflect it, but they played amazing.”

Creston’s evolving lineup, reflecting the absence of

the injured Taylor Buxton, showed moments of good play.

“Breanna Wallace stepped up her hitting,” Luther said. “Megan Haley did some good things. We just kept our head on.”

The Panthers grew throughout the night.

“We did some good things, which is awesome,” Luther said. “As a coach, with the struggles we’ve had this season, that is huge, really huge.”

Wallace led the Panthers with six kills. Cayla Maitlen and Haley each had four kills. Jaxie Luther had nine assists and eight digs.

UP NEXT — Creston concludes the regular sea-

son 8-16 overall and 2-8 in the Hawkeye 10.

The Panthers open Class 3A Region 2 Wallace play back at Red Oak. The Class 3A 15th-ranked Tigers finished the regular season 28-9 overall and 8-2 in league play. The Tigers are in third by themselves. Kuemper Catholic, 25-1 and 10-0, won the league. Lewis Central sits in second at 27-8 overall and 8-1 in the league with one match still to play against Shenandoah tonight.

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Mount Ayr’s Kelcie Shields works on her game plenty hard in volleyball practice every day.

It’s the extra time she spends working on her game when she doesn’t have to be there that’s helped the Raiderettes senior excel on the court.

The extra time taking swing after swing after swing has helped her reach a plateau no Raiderette volleyball player has ever reached.

She recently recorded her 1,000th career kill in the team’s match against Des Moines Christian.

She credits all the extra time refining her skils as a major reason why she reached the milestone mark.

“I stay after practice most of the time to work on kills and serves,” Shields said. “It has really paid off.”

Heading into tonight’s Class 2A Region 5 match with Nodaway Valley she has 343 kills on the season.

This season, she’s hitting at a .354 clip.

Shields doesn’t just work on her game during volleyball season, but all year round.

Those swings have made Shields one of the most potent hitters in Southwest Iowa.

“If she just came to practice and worked on it, she wouldn’t be getting there,” said Mount Ayr coach Tori Braby. “She works in season and out of season. That’s what got her here.”

CNA photo by RYAN KRONBERG

Mount Ayr senior Kelcie Shields sends a ball over the net during a match against East Union earlier this season. Shields reached the 1,000 career kill milestone this season.

Shields and the Raiderettes open postseason play tonight hosting Nodaway Valley.

Braby works with Shields often after practice, refining the swing.

“It takes a lot of dedication and that’s what she has,” Braby said. “She’s in the gym, working on it. She stays after and works at it.”

Shields is the focal point of opposing teams’ defenses.

Rarely does she see a single block. Often, Shields goes up against a double, and at times even a triple block.

Facing multiple defenders has forced Shields to find different ways around

the block. Sometimes she’ll take an angle to go around it. At others, she’ll gently tip it over into the void.

“I look for the open holes and try to attack wherever they go,” Shields said.

“Whenever they do triple block me or double block me, there’s a bunch of holes cause most of the players are at the net. I can tip it or rub it off the block.”

Opposing teams know Shields is going to be on the attack often. Shields still finds ways to put the ball on

the floor.

“They know we’re going to attack her. Every team has triple blocked or double blocked us,” Braby said.

“That’s what I keep teeling them is to keep swining and that’s what they do.

She’s really good at finding the holes if they do double block us. She knows where to place it. That’s where other teams are struggling knowing that she can mix it up.”

Braby works to find ways for Shields to find open

holes in the defense.

“Usually Braby mixes it up,” Shields said. “Sometimes I go to the outside or to the middle depending on where the block is.”

Being the focal point of opposing defenses has put more pressure on Shields to deliver.

“She has a lot of pressure on her,” Braby said. “One thing I tell her she has to stay positive even when they are double blocking her and just keep hitting.”

Shield has matured greatly this season, able to handle the challenge of being the Raiderettes’ top attacker.

“That’s one thing she’s changed this year,” Braby said. “Last year she’d get a double block and she’d get kind of frustrated. This year, she just goes back and keeps hitting. That’s the positive attitude she has this year.”

Shields is quick to credit her teammates for making good passes and sets that give her the opportunity for the kill.

“I couldn’t do it without my teammates. They’ve helped me and supported me throughout this whole season,” Shields said.

“Them being able to get the pass up and the set is nice.”

While the individual accolades are nice, Shields and her teammates have some lofty team goals they’d like to achieve this season.

“We’re hoping to be Pride of Iowa champions and maybe make it to state,” Shields said.

Zepeda breaks SWCC women’s XC record

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

MC COOK LAKE, SOUTH DAKOTA — Southwestern Community College women’s cross country freshman Kimberly Zepeda, from Rockford, Illinois, has continued to grow in each workout she puts in.

Zepeda’s hard work is showing up every time she steps out on to the race course.

Zepeda recently broke the SWCC school record at the BCU Invite at the Adams Homestead and Nature Preserve near Sioux City.

Her time of 19 minutes, seven seconds over the 5K distance shattered the previous mark of 20 minutes set

by Kalli McCann in 2012.

She not only broke the school record by 53 seconds, but her personal best by one minute, four seconds.

“We knew it was a matter of time

before Kimberly Zepeda broke the school record, as her training has suggested that her fitness was at a school record level,” said S o u t h w e s t e r n Zepeda coach Nick Ekel.

“For Kimberly to break the record by 53 seconds, and set a personal best time by 1:04 is a testament to her courage and her fitness level.“ Zepeda placed 40th overall.

“Right now my fitness level is pretty decent, and stable,” Zepeda said. “I am where I need to be to keep excelling each workout and meet.”

Zepeda is physically in a spot where she can run fast times consistently.

“For me, I believe my fitness level has helped me get where I am,

but cross country is more mental,” Zepeda said. “If you have the mindset of a runner that breaks records.

It will come to you.”

The pace set by the other runners pushed her to a good time.

“The race was fast, and filled with fast women,” Zepeda said. “All the adrenaline for sure carried me with, but I had a ton of fun. I feel like I ran a pretty decent race, I am very content with the results.”

Spartans coach Nick Ekel continues to fill Zepeda with the belief she can excel every time she puts on her racing shoes, along with her own self belief.

“The biggest factor is confidence,” Zepeda said. “My coach has so much confidence in me, I just had to have it in myself. I also run by this quote ‘Run hard, when it’s hard to run.’ I write it on my hand before meets and hard workouts, and it really carries me.”

She continues to train hard, working to better her time each meet out.

“It has taken early morning long runs, cross training, and even running two times a day,” Zepeda said.

Her hard work is showing on the course.

“I can only continue to work hard, have fun, and let the times come to me because I know there is a lot more in me than that,” Zepeda said. “All I can do is be patient, have confidence, and believe in my coach.”

Freshman Alyssa Proffitt set Proffitt a personal best, running 21:08 to place 98th.

Proffitt’s confidence continues to grow.

Area football: Raiders pass defense halts Lions

By RYAN KRONBERG

CNA sports editor rkronberg@ cnanews.com

DES MOINES — Veteran Mount Ayr co-coach Delwyn Showalter normally isn’t too pleased when his defense gives up 28 points in a contest.

Friday’s game at Des Moines Christian was one of those times where Showalter and the staff were quite pleased with how the Raider defense performed.

Mount Ayr was able to keep a potent Des Moines Christian passing attack in check, and Mount Ayr offense had plenty as the Raiders rolled to a 49-28 win in Class 1A District 5.

The Raiders effectively negated big plays from the Lions passing attack, the most prolific in Class 1A this season to date. “It was an outstanding night for the defense,�

Showalter said. “I realize we gave up 28 points. I don’t know how more proud I am of a defense after we gave up 28 points. They had the number one passing offense in the state and we did a tremendous job against them.�

The Lions benefited from a substitution on one touchdown, then scored another when a defender fell down in coverage. (What do you mean by the sub?)

Otherwise, the Raider secondary held up for the most part.

It stood as quite a change from earlier this season when both Central Decatur and Pella Christian came up with several big pass plays against Mount Ayr’s defense.

Lions quarterback Nathan Herbers was held to 25of-46 passing for 292 yards and three touchdowns. “We were very, very solid in our secondary,� Showalter said.

Showalter credited the work his defensive front did in flustering Herbers.

Mount Ayr’s defense sacked Herbers six times. “Our front did a great job getting pressure. We did a great job harassing them,�

Showalter said. “He was hurried all night. He was running for his life. We were

very physical with him.�

The Raiders shifted Cal Daughton from the secondary to the front line.

The move paid off as it gave the Raiders more speed on defense.

Daughton “ W e wanted to get after the quarterback all night and we did a great job with that,� Showalter said.

Mount Ayr’s offense was effective, particularly on the ground. Mount Ar rushed for 427 yards and seven touchdowns.

The Raiders front five paved gaping holes for the backs to run through. “Our offensive line did a good job creating some running lanes,� Showalter said. “Our backs ran extremely hard.�

As much as the Raiders wanted to slow the game down with long, methodical ground-based drives, they were able to break long runs. “We accomplished that to some degree,� Showalter said. “A couple of times we scored too fast. We’d have a 50-60 yard run for a score and all of the sudden our defense was back on the field.�

The ground game was as effective as it has been all season. Zach Murphy led the way with 176 yards on 14 carries and one touchd o w n .

Daughton had 165 yards and three touchdowns on Murphy 16 carries. Brad Phelps had 73 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. “Our offense played at a different level we hadn’t seen out of them,� Showalter said.

Des Moines Christian struck first on a 28-yard strike from Hebers to Seth Juhl.

Mount Ayr countered with three straight touchdowns. Daughton scored all three, running in from 14

Iowa Conference rivals played. “We look forward to that. Senior night is always a special night. It’s one more game at home. I means an awful lot to our guys. We want to play as well as we possibly can.”

While the Raiders’ season will end after week nine, they still want to take momentum into the 2017 season.

“The guys have made so much improvement,” Showalter said. “At this point, we don’t want it to end. We’re going to want to make it as good of a night as we possibly can.”

Falcons fly past Mustangs MURRAY — A beat up Murray football team had no answer for Wayne’s rushing attack during Friday’s Eight-player District 6 game.

Trevor Wilson led the Falcons with 220 yards and five touchdowns. Chase Keifer had 83 yards on 12 carries and one touchdown.

Keifer passed for 41 yards and one touchdown.

Wayne jumped out to a 20-0 lead.

Murray cut into it on a Zane Black 2-yard touchdown run. Black’s pass to Bryce Keller for the twopoint conversion cut the lead to 20-8.

Wayne scored two unanswered touchdowns, both from Wilson. The first came on a 71-yard kickoff return and the other on an 8-yard run. The Falcons led 36-8 at halftime.

Adams County Speedway Tradition brings excitement

By JACOB BEST

Adams County Speedway

CORNING — The B-mods were expected to put on a great show and held true to that when 25 cars signed in to compete on Sunday, Sept. 25.

Expectations were high for last year’s winner Ed Hamilton and the 2016 ACS Stalker Chevrolet B-Mod Track Champion, Ryan Jenkins. Not to shadow the huge field of talent in the rest of the entire field. The starting grid for the feature was thought to be that of a fairy tale as 2016 POET Biorefining Modified Track Champion Dylan Book started pole with Shawn Kralik outside, then on row two former track champion Jerod Weston on the inside and 2016 multi-race winner Josh Sink.

With that much talent in just the front two rows fans were in for a treat. Some of the best in the business battled door-to-door for the entire race to see who was going to take home a big pay day.

It proved to be Josh Sinkon the last lap winning this year’s race and having one of the best seasons of his career. Ryan Jenkins and Jerod Weston didn’t make it easy and they jockeyed for the lead throughout the evening, but Jenkins took second and Weston settled for third. Kralik was right with them finishing in fourth and Jake Sachau made one of the most outstanding charges of the year to the front taking fifth from his 21st starting spot. Dylan Book settled for

a sixth place finish as Troy Fudge tried to add another spot to his great performance coming all the way from 24th to finish seventh.

Bret Sheppard made it back to the half mile again taking home eighth and Josh Most rallied his Edge Chassis to ninth. Herb Slough made his presence known as he took tenth. Dustin Sheppard, Chris Vannausdle and Mike Leal settled 11th through thirteenth respectively. Lynn Brockett got 14th while fending off Rick Barton in 15th and Kyle Tanner in 16th.The B-mod feature was not without heart break as nine drivers were unable to finish. In finishing positions 17-25th; David Schwartz, Ed Hamilton, Dave Orr, Bobby Bopp, Tyler Fudge,Dave Carlisle, Andy Coffman, Bryce Allen and Nick Hermsen were unable to finish.

Modifieds promised for a good show and they did not

disappoint with many of the top names competing. Much like the B-Mod feature, the first two rows deemed to be outstanding. Former B-Mod track champion, Jon Plowman, started pole with former modified track champion, Brian Foote, outside.

Row two had last year’s winner Kyle Brown on the inside and former modified track champion, Jesse Dennis, outside. There was plenty of talent and driving ability lining up behind them.

Home Pride sent its best for the tradition as Jesse Sobbing came to win and that’s just what he did from his 19th starting position, barely holding off Nick Roberts in second. Todd Van Eaton proved he’s still one of the best as he took home third just ahead of Jesse Dennis in fourth. Jeff James and Jeff Wiggins settled who the better Jeff was as James snatched fifth and Wiggins got sixth. Kyle

Brown was able to get seventh just ahead of the talented Todd Shute in eighth.

Jon Plowman settled for ninth with Matt Webb 10th and David Brown 11th. Danan Knott was able to finish 12 as Brian Foote had to settle of 13 and Rob Flushmanin 14. Daniel Loggins took 15 and TJ Patterson right behind in 16. Modifieds hadtheir share of drivers not able to finish as well.

Seventeen-through-19 were DNFs as Shane Demey, Brad Bergren and Rob Stephens had to end the night early. 20 and 21 did not start the event as Ben Wolverton and Dylan Book ended the field.

The NAPA Auto Parts Pro-stocks were the bell of the ball as drivers chased lap money and one of the biggest nights in purse at ACS. Team Home Pride did it again sending down Mike Nichols in his pro-stock and brining “home”another vic-

tory for the team. Nichols worked his way through the field of serious talent.

Dusty Van Horn took an early lead in the feature and hoped to collect a memorable win. Getting close to the half way mark Nichols was able tograb the lead before the half way break and opted to keep his position splitting the half way bonus among the drivers behind him. Nichols capitalized on keeping his position as he maintained first while holding off a formidable run from Van Horn who took second and a quickly closing in Tony Hardisty inthird. Cody Clark tried to catch the top three, but it proved to be an enormous feat while trying to keep position in front of some of the best ACS had tooffer.

Clark finished fourth while holding off Jason Rold in fifth, David Nail Jr. in sixth, Joe Zadina in seventh, Kevin Sharp in eighth and Scott Bailey in ninth. Fourth through ninth was a true showcase of racing ability as these drivers never gave

each other an inch for the entirety of the race. Dave Plowman got 10th in his first appearance at ACS in 2016 with Greg Miller right behind him in 11th. Dillon Carlisle, Adam Ayers and Butch Bass settled twelfththrough 14 respectively. AJ Miller was able to collect 15th while holding off Jared Hansen in 16, Rick Bissell in 17, Chris Batesin 18 and Steve Churchill in 19. Jason Minnehan was unable tostart the feature and ended the field in 20th.

The 19th Annual NAPA Auto Parts and NAPA Jobbers Tradition was one of the best race nights of the season even after battling mother nature, a flooded and muddy infield and cooler conditions. Thank you toall those that made it out to the event, helped with the event, sponsorships and to all the volunteers, employees, safety crew, ambulance crew, fire crew, race teams, drivers and fans. We look forward to seeing you all and more in 2017.

“My confidence level is a little higher than normal now because I felt like I was running so slow at the last meet but I ended up with a PR,” Proffitt said. “Now I just want to know what my times gonna be when I feel like i’m running fast.”

Proffitt is now third on SWCC’s all-time list for a 5K race.

The team’s progress motivates Proffitt.

Besides Zepeda and Prof-

fitt, Odette Muziranenge, from West Des Moines, Madison Mace, from Elliott, and Jasmine Forward, from Red Oak, all set personal records with their times of 23:29, 23:41, and 25:03 respectively.

“My teammates also help boost my confidence, because not only am I doing better every race but so are they,” Proffitt said. “It’s fun when everyone is progressing together. I am excited for these last five weeks of our season.”

On the men’s side, Nate Hoyt, from Shenandaoah, led the Spartans with a 25th-

place finish in a personal best time of 26:41.

Hoyt moved to third alltime over the 8K distance, moving past Peter Rotich’s time of 26:46 from 2008.

Freshman Jacob Bolinger finished 66th in 27:42. Jalen Two Leggins, form Hardin, Montana, set a personal best with a time of 27:48 to place 71st. his time moved him into 10th all-time. Kevin Detrich, from Port Naches, Texas, set a personal best with a time of 28:08 to place 80th.

“We competed well as a team today, as all men were at or near their lifetime best times for the distance,” Ekel

said. “Last week, our top five runners averaged 28:15 and today we averaged 27:49, which speaks to the competitive focus our guys brought.”

SWCC’s runners are back in action at the Mount Marty Invitational on Oct. 22 in Yankton, South Dakota.

third quarter when Black connected with Jack Jones on a 54-yard pass to cut the lead to 36-14.

Wayne answered with 42 unanswered points to end the game.

Jones led the Mustangs in rushing with 28 yards on 17 carries.

Black was 4-of-10 passing for 77 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.

Jones caught two passes for 61 yards. Keller caught two passes for 15 yarsd.

Black led the defense with six solo tackles and one assist. Tyler McMillan had four solos and one assist.

A highlight of the evening for Murray came at halftime as the 2011 Eight-player state runner-up players and coaches were honored in front of the Mustang patrons.

UP NEXT — Murray (35, 1-5) closes out the season Friday at home against Mormon Trail. The Saints (0-8, 0-6) fell at Stanton 58-12.

Timberwolves survive late Warhawks push CORNING — What Southwest Valley coach Anthony Donahoo wanted for his team was an opportunity at the playoffs heading into the final week of the regular season.

While it was tricky at times Friday, the Timberwolves survived a scare from Southeast Warren, 40-25.

Southwest Valley, at 5-3 overall and 4-2 in Class A District 5, sits tied for third with Griswold, who is also 5-3 and 4-2 in the district.

A win at Riverside in week nine would give the Timberwolves an opportunity at one of the two at-large bids in Class A for the playoffs.

“We were able to give us a shot at the playoffs,” said Donahoo.

The Timberwolves can’t overlook winless Riverside in week nine.

“We’ve got a lot going into Riverside,” Donahoo said. “We have to prepare the right way, like Riverside is the state champs to give ourselves a chance at the postseason.”

Southwest Valley’s win came with plenty of challenges. The Timberwolves jumped out to a 14-0 lead courtesy of 17 and 13-yard touchdown runs from Aiden Gaule.

Southeast Warren took advantage of a Southwest Valley turnover, then turned it into points, cutting the Timberwolves lead to 14-6.

The Timberwolves went right back up by two touchdowns on a Jace Petersen 13yard score to lead 21-6.

“We came out of the gates real hot,” Donahoo said.

“We controlled the line of scrimmage.”

The Warhawks cut lead to 21-12 in the third quarter.

Southwest Valley responded with a 7-yard touchdown run from Chance Cobb. The two-point conversion failed, leaving Southwest Valley up 27-18.

The Warhawks didn’t go away. An Alex Hommer 1-yard touchdown run cut the lead to 27-18. (Score is wrong either here or above)

Murray senior Bryce Keller tackles Wayne senior Alex Chapman during Friday’s Eightplayer District 6 football game in Murray.

Southeast Warren then recovered the onside kick. The Warhawks quickly scored on a Hommer 7-yard run.

Southwest Valley’s lead was cut to 27-25 with 4:42 left.

The Timberwolves had a chance to put the game away but fumbled, and the Warhawks recovered.

Southwest Valley’s defense came up big, holding Southeast Warren on downs. (to a turnover on downs?)

Cobb converted into points with a touchdown run, pushing the lead back to eight, 33-25. (change wording a bit) Brett Schafroth came up with a key interception late for Southwest Valley.

Cobb then found Grant Maurer for a 19-yard touchdown pass. The extra point proved to be the final margin.

The end of the game brought back memories of how the Timberwolves survived a stiff test in week one, winning 32-28 at Red Oak. Southwest Valley had a similar response against Southeast Warren. (take out maybe?)

“It reminded me a lot of the Red Oak game and how we responded,” Donahoo said.

Cobb didn’t have his best passing night, going 2-of-7 for 30 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

The junior was efficient with his feet, rushing for 121 yards on 14 carries with two touchdowns.

“I can’t say how proud I am of our quarterback,” Donahoo said. “He always stayed even keel. Even though he had a rough night throwing early, he was patient. He wasn’t forcing the ball.”

Jerad Shires had 53 yards on seven carries. Gaule had 50 yards on eight carries and two touchdowns.

Maurer led the defense with seven solo tackles and six assists. Scott Palmer had six solos, eight assists and five sacks. Schafroth had two solos, 11 assists and one interception. Logan Calkins had one solo and 11 assists.

Petersen had seven assists and one interception. Hunter Poston had two solos, six assists and two sacks.

UP NEXT — Southwest Valley (5-3, 4-2) is at Riverside. The Bulldogs (0-8, 0-6) fell to St. Albert 52-15.

“They’re a great team,” Donahoo said. “Those kids battle. Their record doesn’t reflect how hard those kids work.”

Despite the poor record, Donahoo knows his team must be ready to go to Oakland and play their best.

“We have to prepare the right way for them,” Donahoo said. “That’s what we need to do.”

Wolverines fall to Cardinals GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley was able to slow down Earlham at first.

But the Cardinals offense found another gear over the final three quarters as they rolled to a 70-24 win Friday in Class A District 7 play.

Nodaway Valley had plenty of good things going its way in the first quarter.

“We came out with a pretty good game plan,” said Nodaway Valley coach Steve Shantz. “We did some things we liked. They ran a whole bunch of people in the C gap. We moved our defensive tackles out. The first part of the first quarter, we slowed them down.”

Earlham went to the passing game with success, then came back with the run game.

Nodaway Valley was hampered on defense when inside linebacker Thomas Britten went out with a finger injury.

“We don’t have a solid, experienced backup guy at the inside linebacker position who can flow and read guards,” Shantz said. “We were moving people around.

It kind of fell off.”

The Cardinal defense increased their pressure on the Wolverine offense.

“We did some good things.
