In early September, Creston Community Elementary students — under the leadership of Art Instructor Shari Walters — took it upon themselves to spread a bit of kindness throughout town in the form of Kindness Rocks.

These were small river-rocks, painted and inscribed with messages like “love,” “peace,” “you’re amazing” and “believe,” among many other inspirational or kind words and

phrases. The students then spread the rocks throughout town on several mini field trips.

“I think it’s great for kids to give kindness away and not necessarily to people they know,” Walters said.

“The little ones, especially, it’s hard for them to give it away and not take it home to mom or not have their mom and dad come find it.

I said, ‘This is for a stranger, someone you don’t know that maybe is having a hard day.’ We’re just trying to spread as much happiness and kindness around this city as we can.”

Some of those strangers were Southwestern Community College (SWCC) students. After discovering several kindness rocks on their own campus, they decided the kindness should not go unreturned.

Alyssa Higgins, sophomore and one of SWCC’s 13 student ambassadors, felt the need to r e s p o n d Higgins with some paw-sitiv-

ity in kind.

“I’m actually observing in one of their (Creston Elementary’s) classrooms right now,” said Higgins, “and I saw one day that the classroom got to go hide their Kindness Rocks, and were so excited, so I figured we should do something to show that we appreciate their hard work and positivity.

“Some of the kids hid their kindness rocks around SWCC’s campus,” Higgins said. “And there was one in a flower bed right outside PAWS | 2A

Survey suggests more economic growth ahead for Midwest OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A monthly survey of business leaders released Monday suggests that economic conditions are still improving for nine states in the Midwest or Plains.

The Mid-America Business Conditions Index rose to 58.2 in September, from 57.5 in August, the report said. The July figure was 56.1.

“The overall index over the past several months indicates a healthy regional manufacturing economy” and points to solid growth for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing for the rest of the year, said Creighton University economist Ernie

Goss, who oversees the survey.

The survey results are compiled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests growth in that factor. A score below that suggests decline. The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

Economic optimism also rose last month, hitting 63.6, compared with 62.5 in August and 60.2 in July.

Trump condemns ‘act of pure evil’ in Las Vegas WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday condemned the largest mass shooting in U.S. history as an “act of pure evil” and said the nation was “joined together in sadness, shock and grief” after more than 50 people were gunned down in Las Vegas.

Speaking slowly and somberly from the White House, Trump declared that the nation would rally together in the face of the latest act of senseless Trump violence.

“Our unity cannot be shattered by evil, our bonds cannot be broken by violence,” the president said.

“It is our love that defines us today.”

“OUR UNITY cannot be shattered by evil, our bonds cannot be broken by violence. It is our love that defines us today.”

__

DONALD TRUMP U.S. president

Trump praised the first responders who he said prevented further losses of life and said he would visit Las Vegas on Wednesday.

He offered condolences to the families of those killed, saying, “We cannot fathom their pain. We cannot imagine their loss.”

“We are praying for you,” he said. “We are here for you.”

Trump spoke hours after a gunman on the 32nd floor of a Vegas Strip casino unleashed a hail of bullets on an outdoor country music festival below. The gunman killed at least 50 people as tens of thousands of concertgoers screamed and ran for their lives.

More than 400 other victims were taken to hospitals, and investigators spent Monday morning combing the debris-strewn concert site along the iconic Vegas Strip.

In a morning tweet, Trump offered “my warmest condolences and sympathies to the victims and families of the terrible Las Vegas shooting. God bless you!” First Lady Melania Trump tweeted, “My heart and prayers goes out to victims, families & loved ones! #PrayForLasVegas” White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that officials “are monitoring the situation closely and offer our full support to state and local officials.” The U.S. Homeland Security Department said there was no “specific credible threat” involving other locations.

Police have not yet determined a motive in the shootings.

SWAT teams using explosives stormed the gunman’s room in the Mandalay Bay hotel and found he had killed himself, authorities said. He had as many as 10 guns with him, including rifles, they said.

The gunman was identified as Stephen Craig Paddock, 64, of Mesquite, Ne-

vada. He had checked into the hotel room on Thursday, authorities said.

Since Trump’s inauguration, there have been other mass shootings, including one in Texas last month, when a gunman killed eight and was fatally shot by police. But the Las Vegas attack is the deadliest in U.S. history.

The president offered a measured, somber response in June, after a shooting at a shooting at a congressional baseball practice that wounded five, including seriously injuring Rep. Steve Scalise. But Trump has drawn criticism for more inflammatory and self-referential reactions to other acts of violence.

After a shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando that left 49 dead in 2016, he tweeted, “Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism.”

In the wake of a deadly terror attack in London in June, Trump targeted the city’s mayor on Twitter, suggesting he wasn’t taking the attacks seriously enough.

After the June 2016 Orlando shooting, Trump — a presidential candidate competing in the GOP primary — called for a travel ban targeting Muslim-majority countries.

The Orlando shooter, Omar Mateen, was born in New York to Afghan immigrants. After becoming radicalized online, he pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State group.

“The bottom line is that the only reason the killer was in America in the first place was because we al-

Candidate for governor performs CPR at political fundraiser DES MOINES (AP) — A Democratic candidate for Iowa governor intervened when a woman had a medical emergency at a political fundraiser.

The Des Moines Register reports that Andy McGuire rushed to help the

woman at the Polk County Steak Fry on Saturday.

McGuire is a physician and businesswoman.

McGuire performed CPR on the woman who had apparently choked on her food until paramedics arrived a short time later.

McGuire is one of seven Democratic candidates for governor. The others are Nate Boulton, Cathy Glasson, Fred Hubbell, Jon Neiderbach, John Norris and Ross Wilburn.

lowed his family to come here,” Trump said.

And he drew sharp bipartisan criticism in August when he suggested there was blame “on both sides” during a violent clash in Charlottesville, Virginia between white supremacists and anti-racist demonstrators that left one person dead.

Unlike his predecessor, Barack Obama, who often used mass shootings to call for stricter gun control measures, Trump made no mention of firearms restrictions on Monday.

During the presidential campaign, Trump cast himself as an ardent protector of the Second Amendment and proclaimed that if more “good guys” were armed with firearms there would be fewer gun tragedies. After the Orlando nightclub shooting, he suggested that if the club wasn’t a gun-free zone, someone would have been able to stop the bloodshed.

“When I said that if, within the Orlando club, you had some people with guns, I was obviously talking about additional guards or employees,” he tweeted in the days following the attack.

Trump has long offered strong support for gun rights. Earlier this year, he signed a resolution passed by the GOP-led Congress blocking an Obama-era rule designed to keep guns out of the hands of certain mentally disabled people.

Speaking to a gathering of the National Rifle Association in April, Trump told members they have a “true friend” in the White House.

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about garbage cans left in plain view.

We’ve had several letters on this subject, and here is one of them: “Dear Heloise: Why do people leave their ugly garbage cans out in front of their house not just on pickup days, but all the time?

Not only is it tacky-looking, but it affects the entire neighborhood’s appearance.

Many of us keep our homes painted and our yards maintained, but when someone parks a garbage can on the front porch or in front of the garage door, it makes the whole street look bad.” – Walter D., Newport, R.I. Walter, judging by the letters we get every week, this is an annoying subject for many, all across America. If you belong to a homeowners association, perhaps it can ask everyone in the neighborhood to store garbage cans out of sight. – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com FAST FACTS Dear Readers: If you have

an old toothbrush, don’t toss it out – clean and disinfect it, and use it for some of the following tasks: * As a dry brush for cleaning dust from knickknacks. * Clean bathroom faucets. * Clean jewelry (nonabrasive toothpaste works well here). * Clean small, narrow-necked vases. – Heloise THE RETIREE RULES Dear Readers: I received several letters from readers who agreed with “The Rules of the Lake House” that guests need to limit their visits and come only when invited. Here are a few responses.

– Heloise “Frankly, it exhausts us to have overnight guests. We hear the same comments from our retired friends. Our children live out of state, and one of their visits means cleaning, shopping for groceries, baking and entertaining, and it wears us out!” – J., via email “We love to have our family and friends over, but we also love to see them go. At our ages (74 and 76), we just can’t take more than two nights with company!” – Maryann H. in Denver “I’m a widower and love to have my daughter and grandkids come for a visit. I

just wish they’d leave after three days. Last year, my daughter wanted me to take the grandkids for a month in the summer, and I said, ‘Sorry, darlin’, I’m too old and too tired for that kind of stress.’” – Jake L., Florence, Ala. UNPLUGGED Dear Heloise: I read your advice in the Roswell (N.M.) Daily Record. When you’re going to be out of town, I would like to advise turning off the clothes washer’s water valves. The hose can rupture and flood the house.

In some cases, they’ll even welcome used cardboard boxes. – Patty D., via email CAN-DO WITH A SPRAY CAN Dear Heloise: To keep my spray can of starch from falling off my ironing board, I put a rubber band around the middle and lay the can down on its side. That way, it won’t roll off the ironing board. – Cathy R., Holly Lake Ranch, Texas (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

NATIONAL DIGEST

As calendar flips to October, the MLB postseason from A to Z

By BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer

All those home runs

by Aaron Judge, all those wins by the Los Angeles Dodgers, nicely done. Except none of that matters now - a sinker that bounces to the backstop, a liner that hooks barely foul, the whole script flips.

October has a way of doing that.

The Major League Baseball playoffs start Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium when New York hosts the Minnesota Twins in the AL wildcard game. A look at the 2017 postseason, from A to Z: A: ALTUVE’S ASTROS - Generously listed at 5-foot-6, Jose Altuve is baseball’s little big man. The do-everything second baseman won his third AL batting title and aims to lead the Astros to their first World Series crown.

With the Houston area recovering from Hurricane Harvey, they’re the sentimental favorites.

B: BULLPENS - Kenley Jansen and Aroldis Chapman going long, Andrew Miller entering early, Clayton Kershaw as a closer. The old rules were out last October when it came to relief roles. We’ll see what pops up in the ‘pens this year.

C: CUBS VS. CLEVELAND - Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Corey Kluber & Crew, once more? It’s been a while since a World Series rematch, when Reggie Jackson led the Yanks over the Dodgers in 1977-78. But, it’s already been a ripe year for repeats - Warriors vs.

Cavaliers, Alabama vs.

Clemson.

D: DEBUTS - Strikeout king Chris Sale makes his first playoff appearance when Boston starts at Houston on Thursday in the best-offive AL Division Series.

Rockies bopper Nolan Arenado and Twins slugger Brian Dozier are postseason newbies, too.

So is Nationals backup Adam Lind, after 12 years and more than 1,300 games.

E: EXTRA - Hmmm, anyone remember the last time a postseason game went to extra innings? Hard to top the Cubs’ 10-inning, rain-delayed, 8-7 thriller over Cleveland in Game 7.

The Red Sox are the experts of extras this year - they’re 15-3, including seven straight wins.

F: FREE AGENTS Sure, 20 teams are done.

But their fans can always dream. Cubs righty Jake Arrieta, Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas and Rays thumper Logan Morrison are on the list of who’ll soon be available. The most intriguing possibility might be Shohei Otani, a A-Z | 6A

Halted on homecoming Panthers lose early momentum in 35-19 loss ■

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.comI

n a season filled with adversity and narrow defeats, it all seemed to be coming together for the Creston/ Orient-Macksburg football team just after Friday’s homecoming game kickoff.

Cody Wagner fielded Winterset’s kick and ran it back 36 yards to the Panther 41.

Nine plays later the Panthers were up 7-0 on Kylan Smallwood’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Evan Jacobson, followed by Jacobson’s extra-point kick. A huge homecoming crowd on a warm late September evening was roaring its approval.

By the end of that first period, Winterset had seized the momentum with two touchdowns. The Huskies finished on top, 35-19, to improve to 5-1 overall and 4-0 in Class 3A District 7.

Winterset returns home this week for a huge showdown with district co-leader Harlan (6-0, 4-0).

Creston/O-M, meanwhile, fell to 1-5 and 0-4 in district play with a home game this week against Glenwood.

Despite the loss of all-district running back Connor Van Pelt with a broken leg in week four, the Huskies have continued to show prowess in the running game with a steady 80-yard drive to answer the Panthers’ opening possession. Hunter Pashek, who finished with 101 yards rushing, capped it with an 11-yard run to the end zone.

CORNING — Forget the forward pass. That’s what Southwest Valley did in asserting the run to the tune of 392 yards in Friday’s 49-7 win over Nodaway Valley.

Southwest Valley didn’t even attempt a pass.

“Basically having four running backs that can run the ball makes it really nice,” Southwest Valley coach Anthony Donahoo said.

Every Southwest Valley ball-carrier averaged at least 6.6 yards per carry, with Aaron Armstrong (152

yards) and Jace Petersen (98 yards) leading the way. This, a week removed from a less-excitable offensive performance in a 21-0 win over Martensdale-St. Marys.

“Things just weren’t clicking for us in terms of offensively and we made a lot of mistakes (against Martensdale),” Donahoo said.

“I told some guys after a Petersen while because I felt floored because we had a couple defensive touchdowns.”

“We were opening up real big lanes.”

Southwest Valley shot out to a 35-0 halftime lead and never looked back.

The Timberwolves also held the Wolverines under 10 points, a feat the Southwest Valley defense has accomplished five times this season already.

Hunter Poston had a strip sack for a 24-yard touchd o w n , and Aaron Armstrong returned an interception 29 yards for a score.

ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA — Last Saturday’s Roy Griak Invitational was humid enough in the late morning that the effects were widely felt across the fields.

The Spartans averaged around 30 minutes per member of the team.

“It was super crowded during the race. A lot of our guys didn’t get out well,” SWCC coach Trey Bruton said.

Jalen Two Leggins was SWCC’s top runner at 267th place in 29:32.

Kevin Dietrich, Chance Webster, Shane Breheny and Nathan Bradley all came in between 30:10 and 30:36.

Panther freshmen roll, 33-13

By LARRY PETERSON

On the run:

238th-place finish in a time of 28:06.3.

The Spartans were able to rest some this past week, as well as get valuable training in before this past weekend’s race.

“Today (Wednesday) was great,” Bruton said.

“We had some sprint work on the track and everybody looked abut 10 times better than they did before.”

The Spartans competed at the Dan Huston Invite this past Saturday. Results will be in a future edition of the News Advertiser.

Homecoming got off to a good start for Creston/O-M Friday with a 33-13 victory over Winterset in the freshman game.

Kolby Hulett and Cael Kralik each ran for more than 100 yards and Cole Strider passed for 123 yards and two touchdowns as the Panthers improved to 5-1.

Kralik had an 85-yard touchdown run. Also scoring on the ground were Strider from 13 yards and Kadon Bolton from 5 yards.

Strider’s TD passes were for 7 yards to Kralik and a 20-yarder to Brodie Wallace.

Keegan Smith had 12 tackles for the Creston/O-M defense and Andy Weis added 10.

Co-coaches Kevin Cooper and Steve Birchard said a key to the win was the strong start.

“Tonight was a good night for our team,” Cooper said. “We got after them early and put some points on the board in the first quarter. Hopefully we can keep things rolling here in the next three weeks to finish out the season strong.”

Rushing — Kolby Hulett 10-124; Cael Kralik 3-100, 1 TD; Cole Strider 5-32, 1 TD; Kadon Bolton 5-28, 1 TD. Passing — Strider 11-16 for 123 yards, 2 TDs and 2-point conversion.

Receiving — Hulett 4-58; Kralik 2-19, 1 TD; Brance Baker 1-3 (2-point conversion); Colby Burg 2-18; Brodie Wallace 1-20, 1 TD; Britain Miller 1-5.

star pitcher and hitter in Japan.

G: GOOD TO SEE YA - Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez returns to the playoffs for the first time since 2009, when he was 10 for 17. Twins star Joe Mauer has been absent since 2010.

And Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg has pitched just once in Washington’s three trips, heading into this matchup with the Cubs.

H: HOME FIELD World Series home-field advantages goes to the team with the best record.

Thankfully, it’s no longer based on who wins the AllStar Game. That means the Dodgers (104 wins) get first dibs, followed by Cleveland (102), Houston (101), Washington (97), Boston (93) and the Cubs (92).

I: INJURIES - Nationals ace Max Scherzer tweaked his hamstring, teammate Bryce Harper is getting over a bad knee. Banged-up AllStars Miguel Sano of the Twins and Michael Brantley of the Indians might be able contribute this week. Might not.

J: JOE MADDON - A cool cat, he keeps his Cubs loose. He reveled in last year’s rallying cry: “Try Not to Suck.” The skipper became the toast of Chicago, ending that century-old drought. Funny, all those warm-and-fuzzy Wrigley Field feelings are gone now, at least beyond the Friendly Confines.

K: KERSHAW - He tied for the major league lead in wins and won his fifth ERA title. He’s a three-time Cy Young Award winner and seven-time All-Star. But will anyone get more scrutiny in the postseason than Clayton Kershaw? Probably not, because the LA lefty is 4-7 with a 4.55 ERA in the postseason.

L: LOUSY WEATHER Too bad, the temperature is often better suited for snowballs than baseballs. It was in the low 40s at Wrigley last year, and just imagine how it might feel in Denver or Minneapolis. If you want clear conditions, root for Arizona vs. Houston and their retractable roofs.

M: MANAGERS - Twin Cities native Paul Molitor, Torey Lovullo of the Diamondbacks and Bud Black of the Rockies are first-time skippers in the playoffs.

Washington’s Dusty Baker is back for his ninth try, still seeking that elusive first World Series championship.

N : N E T TING Fan safety has drawn Molitor special focus ever since a 1-year-old girl was recently hit by Todd Frazier’s 105 mph foul ball at Yankee Stadium. Of the teams in these playoffs, three already had extended

the netting to screen spectators: Houston, Washington and Minnesota. The Yankees say they’ll have it next year.

O: OCTOBER - Of course. But if the World Series goes to Game 7, they’ll go beyond Halloween and play on Nov. 1.

P: PUERTO RICO - Carlos Beltran, Francisco Lindor and Carlos Correa are among the many players from Puerto Rico trying to raise money and awareness for the damage done to their island by Hurricane Maria.

Look for messages on caps and shoes over the next few weeks.

Q: QUICK? - Extra mound conferences, longer TV commercials, more pitching changes, they all contribute to slowing down the pace in the playoffs.

MLB wants to speed up the action and avoid a repeat from last year, when postseason games averaged almost 3 1/2 hours. Not a good sign that regular-season games this year took more than 3 hours, 5 minutes on average, the longest ever.

R: ROOKIES - Yankees behemoth Aaron Judge broke the major league record with 52 home runs by a rookie, Dodgers surprise C o d y Bellinger set the NL mark with 39. Other newcom- Happ ers who c o u l d make an impact: Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi, Cubs outfielder/ infielder Ian Happ and 33-year-old Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel.

S: STREAKS - Jose Ramirez and the Indians set an AL record by winning 22 straight, the Dodgers dropped 11 in a row for their worst skid since moving from Brooklyn. A year after winning its first six postseason games, and in this season of streaks, Cleveland hopes to do it again.

T: TRADES - Justin Verlander (5-0, 1.06 ERA for Houston), J.D. Martinez (29 homers in 62 games for Arizona) and Jose Quintana (7-3, 3.74 for the Cubs) are some of the stars who were acquired in midseason trades. Yu Darvish, David Robertson and Eduardo Nunez also gave their new teams a boost.

U: UMPIRES - It won’t be long before some team is hollering about an ump’s strike zone. Those calls can’t be contested, but others can. Some teams are very good at getting them overturned (Joe Girardi and the Yankees won 72 percent of their challenges). Others, not so much (the Nationals were right only 36 percent).

Stanton 56, East Union 30 STANTON — Big plays have haunted the East Union Eagles in recent weeks, and that was the case once again in a 56-30 loss Friday at Stanton.

East Union’s loss means the Eagles (3-3, 2-2) are in a precarious spot as they try to get to the playoffs.

Stanton (6-0, 4-0) has established itself atop 8-player District 6, as both head into big matchups in the upcoming week.

Drake Johnson got the scoring going for the Vikings about six minutes into the game, when he intercepted a Sanden Cheers pass on Stanton’s half of the field and took the pick 60 yards for the first score of the game.

“We were driving the ball and just a nice pick over the top of one of our receivers,” East Union cocoach James Hardy said.

“That got them rolling.”

Stanton jumped on top two scores on a Keygan Day touchdown run before Cheers finished a drive with a short score to pull within one touchdown.

Johnson decided he had enough of the close action, dazzled the home crowd with a 41-yard touchdown run and a 29-yard reception from Day to jump on top 28-8, and the Vikings even scored again before halftime.

Johnson ran for 88 yards, scored on his lone reception, and passed for a 41yard score on the last play of the first half.

Day passed for 241 yards and three touchdowns on 9 of 15 passing.

Easton Hultman and Reece Anderson combined for 246 yards receiving and three touchdowns on five catches.

“A couple of those plays were on a couple missed assignments,” Hardy said. “...

They played well. Our kids showed spots at times, but we’ve got to be able to play a compete game.”

Dillon Weis hauled in s e v e n c a t c h es out of Cheers’ 11 completions for 89 yards and a touchWeis down.

E a s t Union fell behind by as much as 42, but the Eagle coaching staff knows its team is capable of better after losing its third consecutive game.

“Another week. Same story. We’ve got to play like we know we can,” Hardy said.

UP NEXT — EU will host Bedford (4-2, 3-0) and Stanton will travel to Lenox (3-3, 2-1) the latter of which is coming off a bye week.

game was largely thwarted by the Pleasantville defense, but the Raiders showed improvement in its passing game. Myles Greene and Dawson Frost combined to pass for 106 yards and found eight different receivers for the 12 completions.

John Shields had a big defensive game with four solo tackles (three for losses) and 10 assisted tackles. Brad Phelps had one solo and 11 assisted tackles.

Pleasantville improved to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in Class 1A District 5. This week the Trojans host third-ranked Pella Christian, also 6-0 and 4-0.

The tough stretch continues for Mount Ayr. Coming off two top-10 opponents in successive weeks, the Raiders travel to third-place Woodward-Granger (4-2, 3-1) this week before the last chance for a victory on their new home turf against Des Moines Christian (0-6, 0-4).

The season finale is at Interstate 35 (4-2, 2-2).

Goal-line stop turns tide in Central victory INDIANOLA — For those who believe in momentum swings, look no further than the 1-yard line late in the third quarter of the Central College football team’s 35-17 triumph at Simpson College Saturday.

A Simpson field goal had sliced the Dutch lead to 21-17.

Central’s first two possessions of the second half had failed to generate a first down and Simpson was perched inside the 1-yard line poised to take the lead. But twice—on third and fourth downs—linebacker Tyler Olson (senior, Mapleton, Minn., Maple River HS) and the Dutch defense said no.

“The linebackers did a really good job of stepping up and filling and the defensive line didn’t get pushed back,” coach Jeff McMartin said.

The Central team includes junior linebacker Alex Tamerius of Creston and freshman offensive lineman James Lamgo of Southwest Valley.

Panther summary

other covered 30 yards to Jayden Carney with only 53 seconds left in the half.

The Panthers closed it to a two-score gap early in the third quarter as Smallwood’s 2-yard bootleg run around the right side on fourth-andgoal capped a 10-play drive covering 56 yards.

Trailing 28-13, the Panthers suffered a huge setback when the snap to punter Michael Gonzelez sailed low and got through him, resulting in Gonzalez falling on the ball at his own 1-yard line. Logan Connelly ran it into the end zone on the next play to push Winterset in front, 35-13.

The final score of the game came on a 17-yard pass from Smallwood to Peterson late in the third quarter for the final 35-19 margin.

Despite two delay-ofgame penalties and two other flags near the end of the possession, Winterset controlled the ball for all but the final 2:13 of the fourth quarter. Kleemeier made an acrobatic interception along the right sideline, keeping himself inbounds just as he came down with the ball, to end the Panthers’ last-minute attempt to get within one score.

Smallwood finished 15 of 22 passing for 144 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions. Wagner had three catches for 65 yards and Jacobson had four grabs for 26 yards and a TD. Running back Mitchel Swank carried 18 times for 69 yards.

Kleemeier threw to seven different Winterset receivers in finishing 8 of 12 passing for 165 yards and three touchdowns.

“Creston is a dangerous football team and we feel fortunate to come out of here with a win,” Huskies coach Zach Sweeney said.

“They had been right in just about every game. We were able to come back and put some first downs together after they scored and score a touchdown. It was huge that we got them to punt on that next drive and to the ball back fairly quickly. We were able to steal the momentum there in the first half.”

Creston/O-M’s Camden Peterson (29) snags a pass from Kylan Smallwood and marches into the end zone for a 17-yard touchdown in the final minute of the Panthers’ 35-19 loss to Winterset Friday.

Moving forward For Morrison, now it’s a matter of regrouping to gain positives in the final three games against Glenwood, ADM and Carroll.

“We have some young kids playing varsity,” Morrison said. “They are showing improvement. They really are. We told them they can’t hang their heads after a play.

Obviously, the record could be different. But what I like about this year is that our kids are fighting through and

playing hard for four quarters.”

Morrison said it’s important now to keep that tone going, even with the incentive of postseason play gone.

“What I don’t want to see is us becoming complacent, saying that we lost and being good with that,” Morrison added. “We need to win football games. That’s why we play this game. If we can keep improving like we should, we are going to walk away from this season with

CROP Walk to be held Oct. 8 The 2017 CROP Walk for world hunger will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 8, beginning at the gazebo by Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston. Registration will start at 2:30 p.m.

The CROP Walk is an interfaith event that raises money to end hunger in Union County, the country and around the world.

CROP, under the auspices of Church World Service, also helps those who are facing disasters such as the recent hurricanes and earthquakes.

Twenty-five percent of the funds raised by the CROP Walk will stay in Union County to help families in need.

“The walk has the backing of the Union County Ministerial Alliance,” said Lynne Schlaht, who, along with her husband John, are the Union County Coordinators. “We would like to see service groups, businesses as well as individuals join us. The need is greater than ever and the movement needs to grow.”

Last year, the CROP Walk raised $6,906.85 with 12 Union County congregations participating. The highest amount raised was in 2013 when the total was $9,503.37.

“We usually have around 50 walkers, but it would be great to have 150, 200 or more,” Schlaht said. “It’s possible. Surely there are at least that many people who could come out on a Sunday

afternoon, give a donation and walk with us. We walk because millions walk miles every day in search of food and water.”

Jump Start Saturday will be held again this year Oct. 7 at Hy-Vee and Fareway grocery stores in Creston.

“Last year, volunteers collected $944.81 at the grocery stores. That was a record. Hopefully, we can reach $1,000 this year,” Schlaht said.

Volunteers will be on hand to take cash donations, nonperishable food or other items. These types of grocery items may also be brought the day of the walk and will be divided among the four local food pantries in Union County: Creston Area Food Pantry at the O’Riley Center, MATURA and food pantries in Afton and Lorimor.

More than 1,000 communities around the country hold CROP Walks every year. The walk is the oldest of its kind in the U.S. Another way to raise funds is to register at crophungerwalk.org. Set up a personal page and ask family and friends to sponsor you or join you on the walk that day. Routes of two, four and six miles are available, or walkers may walk as far as they can. In case of bad weather, walkers may use the track at the YMCA. For more information or to send a contribution, call John and Lynne Schlaht at 641-782-2400.

Red Cross lifeguard certification class available The Southern Prairie YMCA in Creston is offering a Red Cross lifeguard certification class Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 7, 14 and 21.

Students must be age 15 years old by the end of class. Cost is $120 for YMCA members and $160 for non-members. The class

is limited to 10 with a minimum of three. Registration deadline is Oct. 5. Registration fee must be paid to the YMCA before starting class.

For questions, contact Aquatics Coordinator Dana Dodge at 641-782-9622 or ddodge@southernprairieymca.com.

‘Walk More, Connect More’ in Corning, Greenfield Come together Oct. 4 with neighbors, fellow community members and thousands of other Iowans to support the Healthiest State Initiative.

The Healthiest State Initiative’s goal is to make Iowa the healthiest state in the nation.

The annual walk brings communities together by having an organized Healthiest State Walk, presented by Delta Dental of Iowa, in all of Iowa’s 99 counties.

This year’s annual walk aims for Iowans to “Walk More. Connect More” by walking for 30 minutes with friends, co-workers, family or neighbors. Walking is one of the best ways to stay healthy.

It’s also a great way to connect with others. There never seems to be enough time to enjoy time with friends and family. By inviting them to walk together, catch up and refresh our minds, and the physical benefits add up, too.

Invite a friend or co-worker for an after-lunch walk, take care of weekend errands with the family on foot or invite neighbors to start a casual walking group. Along the way, you’ll build strong bonds and memories.

Just 30 minutes of physical activity each day improves physical, social and emotional health. Adams and Adair County Extension offices and Adair County Health Systems (ACHS) are excited to partner in the Healthiest State Annual Walk as it represents a commitment to local residents’ well-being. Everyone looks forward to not only walking together Oct. 4, but also initiating and celebrating

a cultural shift where everyone can walk more, connect more.

“Get Your Walk On” at noon. Participants in Greenfield can start either at the north side of the hospital and walk to the town square and back, or start at the town square and walk to the north side of the hospital, near the E.R. entrance, and back. The walk will be 30 minutes and all are encouraged to join and walk at their own pace as they take steps to improve their health.

Adams County Extension and Outreach hopes you will “Get Your Walk On” with friends 11 a.m. Oct. 4 at 603 Seventh St. The walk will be 30 minutes long and participants are encouraged to join and walk at their own pace and enjoy downtown Corning. Chris Nelson, walk coordinator, suggests arriving early for a group photo and then joining the participants for light refreshments after the walk.

Help change the lives of your fellow Iowans, and your own, by joining this year’s Healthiest State Walk. Everyone hopes to see you Wednesday. Together, continue stepping toward a healthier and happier Iowa. Celebrate National 4-H week and the fourth H “I pledge my health to better living” by joining the Healthiest State Walk.

For more information about joining the walk in Greenfield, contact Kathy Rohrig at Adair County Extension at 641-743-8412 or Linda Kerns at ACHS at 641743-2123 ext. 379.

Adair County youth to celebrate National 4-H Week Oct. 1-7 GREENFIELD – Oct. 1-7 is National 4-H Week and Adair County 4-H is celebrating the 4-H youth who have made an impact on the community, and are stepping up to the challenges of a complex and changing world. 4-H is active in each of Iowa’s 99 counties and empowers youth to reach their full potential working and learning in partnership with caring adults. Iowa 4-H provides opportunities for youth to acquire knowledge, develop life skills, form attitudes and practice behavior that will enable them to become self-directing, productive and contributing members of society.

4-H programs are grounded in the belief that youth learn best by doing.

Members complete handson projects in areas like science, health, agriculture and citizenship, in a positive environment where they receive guidance from adult partners and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles.

Youth may concentrate on one project area or they may try a variety of programs throughout their 4-H experience. Regardless of the project area, all 4-H programs include mentoring and career readiness.

4-H is the youth program of America’s Cooperative Extension Service and is the nation’s largest youth development and empowerment organization, serving more than 6 million young people across the United States with programs in leadership, citizenship, communication and life skills. The 4-H program cultivates confident youth who tackle the issues that matter most in their communities right now. Iowa school-age youth participate in Iowa State University Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development programs, headquartered at the Iowa State University campus in Ames and available through the local Adair County Extension Office and other Iowa counties.

4-H alumni are the first to acknowledge the significant positive impact 4-H had on them as young people and the opportunities and experiences that 4-H provides youth empowers them to become true leaders. Research has shown that young people in 4-H are almost four times as likely to contribute to their communities, and are twice as likely to engage in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs in their free time.

More than 200 4-H youth and 100 volunteers from the community are involved in Adair County 4-H with 10 active 4-H community clubs. Membership in these clubs and

their programs is available to all eligible persons regardless of age, race, color, national origin, religion, gender, disability, marital or veteran status, or any other legally protected status. Following is a list of Adair County 4-H clubs: Adair County Hot Shots, Adair County Wing Walkers, Harrison Hummers, Jefferson Pioneers, NV Champions, Orient Bulldogs, Richland Royals, Summerset Citizens, Summit Super Stars, and Washington Stars. There is also an independent member option in Adair County. Adair County 4-H’ers are encouraged to show their 4-H pride by wearing their 4-H T-shirts to school on Wednesday, Oct. 4. 4-H’ers are asked to take a “selfie� or have someone take a picture of them wearing their 4-H t-shirt, then post the photo to Facebook and tag the Adair County Extension Office in the photo using @adaircountyextension.

Once they have posted their photo, they will be entered into a drawing for a special prize. Drawing will be held Monday, Oct. 9.

4-H’ers are also encouraged to “Get Your Walk On� by participating in the Healthiest State Walk on Wednesday, Oct. 4, during National 4-H Week. Walk with your friends as a group or as an individual to celebrate the fourth “H� – Health.

As National 4-H Week approaches, it is important to remember the 4-H pledge and what the pledge represents. “I pledge my Head to clearer thinking, my Heart to greater loyalty, my Hands to larger service and my Health to better living, for my club, my community, my country and my world,� said Donna Wallace, Adair County Extension 4-H program coordinator.

Contact the Adair County Extension Office at 641743-8412 or 800-ISUE399 with questions concerning Adair County 4-H or email wallace@iastate.edu.
