Gov. Branstad boasts new policy plans in Greenfield

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

G

ov. Terry Branstad stopped in Greenfield Monday night at The Corner on the square to meet with supporters, highlight accomplishments over the past four years and unveil a new policy called the Iowa Next Initiative.

“It was quite an honor,” said Brian Rohrig, Rohrig who is running for the district 4 seat on the Adair County Board of Supervisors and introduced the governor before his speech.

“The more enthusiastic the county is, the more it seems to flow down the ticket.”

Branstad is in his 20th year as governor after making his return in 2012 by defeating Chet Culver. With a win in this election, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad will become the longest-serving governor in the history of the United States.

His first talking point was the property tax cut passed in 2013 — which Branstad called the biggest in Iowa history — which will have a $4.4 billion impact for the state over the next four years.

“I liked Lents his tax plan,” said Ralph Lents, who is also running for a supervisor seat

in district 2. “It gets to be a pretty big number at the end of four years and that is a savings for everyone.”

Branstad highlighted Iowa’s reduction of unemployment and the jump in the healthiest state rankings from 19th to 10th.

“We are becoming one of the two or three best managed states in America,” Branstad said. “Our quality of life in Iowa, I think, rivals anywhere, especially when you get to travel on a beautiful fall day like this and you see the beautiful leaves we

have and the people out in the field working.”

Iowa Next

The climax of Branstad’s visit revolved around his new policy, the Iowa Next Initiative. It partners several programs to help improve the quality of life in Iowa.

“As Iowa grows and changes for a brighter future, it is critical that our state build a lasting, living legacy of quality life enhancements,” Branstad said.

The policy will re-purpose money from the general fund to create a more holis-

tic vision on Iowa’s quality of life. It will help strengthen efforts such as Keep Iowa Beautiful and funding for regional parks.

Branstad fielded questions about working with the federal government and education concerns with common core.

He said when the Renewable Fuel Act was passed in 2005, it made a big difference in Iowa by improving the price of corn and bring quality jobs with ethanol plants, biodisel plants and two cellulose ethanol plants.

Now Branstad said it is a fight with the Environmental Protection Agency to administer any power at the state level because everything is under federal jurisdiction.

The 15th annual Bright Eyes in the Park event is slated for 5 to 6:30 p.m.

Saturday at McKinley Park. This safe trick-or-treating event is hosted by Creston Animal Rescue Effort (CARE).

Cost for the event is $5 per child.

Last year, about 425 children attended Bright Eyes in the Park.

Mycale Downey, director of Creston Animal Rescue Effort, said about 28 businesses from the community will be at this year’s event handing out Halloween treats to attendees. For businesses still wanting to participate this year, call Downey at 641-782-2330 and leave a message.

Money raised at Bright Eyes is used primarily for veterinarian work for animals at the city pound, advertising and adoption costs.

The Bright Eyes event is followed up by Creston’s citywide trick-or-treat night, which is schedule from 5 to 8 p.m. on Halloween this year (Oct. 31).

Branstad winning cash race against Hatch DES MOINES (AP) — Republican Gov. Terry Branstad is holding a massive cash advantage over Democratic challenger Jack Hatch going into the final days of the race, campaign finance reports filed Monday show.

The reports show Branstad raised $1.3 million between July 15 and Oct. 14.

He started the period with more than $4 million and concluded it with $1.3 million in cash. Hatch started the period with $183,000, raised nearly $880,000 and had about $280,000 left. He and his wife have loaned $140,000 to his campaign.

Hatch stopped airing television advertising in late September. Spokesman John Hedgecoth said the campaign would run ads again before Election Day, but did not offer details on when.

Branstad, 67, is running

for his sixth non-consecutive term. He has held a sizable lead throughout the race, with far more money and support than the 64-year-old Hatch. The latest Iowa Poll from the Des Moines Register and Bloomberg Politics released last week shows Branstad with the support of 54 percent of likely voters and Hatch with 39 percent.

That survey of 1,000 likely voters, conducted by Selzer & Co. of Des Moines, has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.

Branstad pulled in some sizable checks from individuals and political action committees. He received $25,000 from the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation PAC. He also got $20,000 in checks from political action committees associated with Iowa Realtors, Hy-Vee employees and long-term health care providers.

Continued from Page 1

He added that Iowa is opting out of the smarter balance assessments that were a part of common core.

“My interest is to change the Iowa academic standards,” Branstad said. “We need to have our own state standards and then we need to have our own assessments that are in line with those standards.”

With the Nov. 4 election just weeks away, Branstad currently holds a 15-point lead in the most recent Iowa Poll over challenger Jack Hatch.

GOP governors don’t see ‘Obamacare’ going away

QUICK NEWS:

WASHINGTON (AP) — While Republicans in Congress shout, “Repeal Obamacare,” GOP governors in many states have quietly accepted the law’s major Medicaid expansion.

Even if their party wins control of the Senate in the upcoming elections, they just don’t see the law going away.

Nine Republican governors have expanded Medicaid for low-income people in their states, despite their own misgivings and adamant opposition from conservative legislators.

Three more governors are negotiating with the Democratic administration in Washington.

Rather than demanding repeal, the governors generally have sought federal concessions to make their decisions more politically acceptable at home. That approach is in sharp contrast to the anti-Obamacare fervor of their party in Congress.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich says he doesn’t think there will be a repeal in Wash-

requested in Union County and 2,102 were received at the auditor’s office.

“I think we’ll surpass those numbers,” Steele said.

Sandy Hysell, county auditor, said all absentee votes submitted remain sealed and locked in a vault until Nov. 4.

Hysell added the Union County auditor’s office will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday to pre-register

ington, even if Republicans win a Senate majority and consolidate their hold on the House in next month’s election.

“That’s not gonna happen,” the Republican governor told The Associated Press during a recent re-election campaign swing.

Kasich called The Associated Press Monday night to clarify that he was speaking specifically about a repeal of Medicaid expansion and not of the entire Affordable Care Act __ although opponents in Washington don’t usually draw such distinctions.

He said he believes the ACA “can and should” be repealed, but that opposition to the Medicaid expansion “was really either political or ideological,” adding, “I don’t think that holds water against real flesh and blood and real improvements in people’s lives.”

He has cast the Medicaid expansion in Ohio as a moral choice to help the poor.

to vote. You can also absentee vote that day.

They will also be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 1 to allow more time for absentee voting at the courthouse.

All absentee ballots are pre-stamped and can be sent by mail or they can be hand delivered to the auditor’s office. The last day to request an absentee ballot in the mail is Oct. 31. It must be postmarked the day before the election, Nov. 3.

OPINION

The self-indulgent triviality of the Ferguson protests It wasn’t so long ago that Ferguson, Mo., was supposed to be an American morality tale of racism, the militarization of police and all manner of other evil. For a few weeks in August, the attention of the national media focused on the suburb of St. Louis, and MSNBC practically broadcast nothing else.

President Barack Obama even mentioned Ferguson at a U.N. speech in the context of terror groups that behead people and sectarian conflicts that kill hundreds of thousands of people.

While the media long ago moved on, the protests have persisted, entering their late, decadent phase of self-indulgent triviality. Cornel West got arrested last week, and Al Sharpton is heading back to Ferguson at the end of the month to pump up attention for what styles itself a movement, although it is more tinny by the day.

A hallmark of August was point-

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

lessly destructive civil disorder, and it’s only gotten more pointless. In late September, the makeshift memorial to Michael Brown on the street in Ferguson burned down, probably set alight by its own candles. This set off minor rioting, including the vandalizing of a beauty salon that has been hit multiple times for the offense of operating a business in a town where protesters are so committed to justice.

In nearby St. Louis a few weeks later, an off-duty cop working as a private security guard shot to death a teen who had fired at him with a Ruger 9 mm. It turned out the gun had been stolen two weeks earlier,

and the teen, monitored with an ankle bracelet, had been awaiting trial on a felony concealed-weapon charge. This event was nonetheless filtered through the lens of Ferguson. Protesters took the streets to demonstrate against what would strike most people as a legitimate act of self-defense, chanting the inapt “Hands up, don’t shoot!”

During a vigil over this shooting, protesters took to burning American flags, chanting “Burn, baby, burn!” The upside-down American flag has become a mainstay of the Ferguson protesters, who have made sporting events one of their myriad, ongoing targets. It is one of the reasons that the demonstration outside the St. Louis Rams game last weekend turned confrontational with fans who didn’t like seeing the nation’s flag disrespected.

A grand jury is still considering the evidence in the shooting of Michael

Brown, which protesters long ago concluded is a case of murder in the first degree. It’s not possible for anyone who wasn’t there to know what happened on that day, when Brown’s friend said Brown was attacked by Officer Darren Wilson and shot while running away. But this story of a coldblooded execution by a cop seems ever merely unlikely.

An anonymous witness who saw the entire incident from beginning to end told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that after an initial scuffle in the car, Officer Wilson didn’t shoot Brown until he turned back toward him. Brown kept coming toward Wilson despite orders to stop, and was 20-25 feet away when the last shots were fired. According to the witness, Brown did not raise his arms in the gesture of surrender that is the iconic symbol of the Ferguson protests. Although the wit-

ness believes Wilson didn’t have to kill Brown, his version is more complicated than the one taken as a given by the protesters.

The New York Times has reported that Darren Wilson told investigators that Brown pinned him in his vehicle and there was a struggle over his gun, and he feared for his life. FBI forensics show that the gun was indeed fired twice in the car, and Brown’s blood was on the gun and Officer Wilson’s uniform.

Sharpton and protesters maintain that all they want is justice. It may well be what justice demands in this case is no indictment of a cop who fired in self-defense. Although, sadly, that is unlikely to be a formula for peace.

President Obama’s job approval ratings hit a new low HOLLYWOOD—Happy Tuesday, everybody, and God bless America.

Maggie is a new movie about a farmer’s daughter who gets infected by a virus that turns her into a zombie. In horror movie lore, zombies are only able to survive by eating human brains. This explains why the zombies invaded Washington D.C. last week and came back hungry.

Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden was reported Friday to have been kicked out of the Navy for testing positive for cocaine use in February. It’s a loss to the service. Say what you will about Hunter Biden but he’s the only guy in the Navy who could swab an entire deck in thirty minutes.

President Obama’s job approval ratings hit a new low in the ABC News poll Tuesday. He’s losing support quickly. Last week, the Honolulu City Council withdrew a motion to name a popular beach after President Obama, so instead

they will name an unpopular beach after him.

President Obama called out the National Guard to aid in the struggle involving Ebola on Friday. It was an ominous decision. It means not only is President Obama not going to ban flights from West Africa to keep Ebola out , he’s going to enroll it in the University of Mississippi.

CDC Director Tom Friedan insisted that halting flights from West Africa to the U.S. won’t prevent Ebola victims from arriving, prompting consternation in Congress. First the people of Africa gave us AIDS, then they gave us Ebola. For heaven’s sake, what did we ever do to them?

‘Misunderstanding’ at Osceola Event Center From Sheri Neal Keller, Texas

We rented the event center in Osceola for my daughter’s wedding reception. We had two bartenders. My daughter specifically told the bartenders in person, we want two kegs to start out with — my mom will buy the Miller Light, and I will buy the Bud Light.

Then, have three kegs on reserve if someone else wants to buy one.

Don’t tap one if you don’t get the money, we are only going to buy two kegs.

When the first two kegs were tapped, they started charging people for the draw beer. My uncle was one of the first to the bar and he ordered a Bud Light and they charged him $2.50. He got charged three times throughout the night.

We also got told by a lot of other people sometimes they would charge them for draw beer and sometimes they didn’t.

When the party was over, I went to pay for my one keg that I knew

I ordered. I was told I owed $1,375 for the keg beer. I was not happy.

I said that’s not right. She told me we went through six kegs. One was bought, so I owed for the other five kegs.

We called the event center manager and told her about what had happened. She said she would check into it and get back with us.

She had the bartender call us. I asked him why they were charging for draw beer, and at the end of the night, I had to pay for all the draw beer. That’s not making sense.

He told me it was a misunderstanding. How is that a misunderstanding, that you charge someone and I pay for it, too? That’s getting paid twice. No misunderstanding there. He also told me it was a misunderstanding about the two kegs my daughter had talked to him about. He thought they wanted two Bud Light, so that is why they charged for Miller Light.

I told him when I went to the bar, I got Miller Light and didn’t get charged. He said it was be-

cause I was a family member.

So, I asked him, did you keep track of the cash money you took for draw beer, and he told me no. I told him, you should have, and that would have come off my bill at the end of the night. The bartender’s answer to all my questions was a misunderstanding. I still don’t see how you misunderstand, charging for draw beer twice.

The bartender first offered a credit of half a keg, then gave a full credit refund.

Our thoughts in closing are such: Why would we think we even started with full kegs?

Are we sure we went through six kegs?

For a member of the fair board to perform a service (was the bartender) at this venue seems at best a conflict of interest, at worst a travesty.

There is zero misunderstanding, charging for draw beer when you know full well someone else will get the entire bill.

Oscar Pistorius starts serving 5-year prison term PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistorius was taken away in a police van with barred windows Tuesday to Pistorius start serving a five-year prison sentence for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Delivering her sentence, Judge Thokozile Masipa cited the “gross negligence” the double-amputee Olympic runner showed when he shot Steenkamp multiple times through a toilet cubicle door in his home.

Pistorius, who had cried and wretched during his trial, was unemotional as he stood to hear his sentence.

His prison term begins immediately and he was led down a flight of stairs and toward holding cells before leaving the South African courthouse in the armored

vehicle.

Pistorius could be released after 10 months in jail to serve the remainder under house arrest, according to legal experts.

Steenkamp’s parents were also in court to hear the sentence and the dead model’s mother, June, said justice had been done. A close friend of Steenkamp, Gina Myers, said: “I really don’t think any of us will heal anytime soon ... there will always be questions.”

Pistorius’ uncle, Arnold Pistorius, said: “Oscar will embrace this opportunity to pay back to society.” He appealed to reporters to give the family privacy after what he called “20 months of relentless public trial.”

Pistorius’ uncle also criticized state prosecutors for pursuing a premeditated charge against Pistorius, and said “they decided to inflict as much collateral damage as they could.”

Masipa said her sentence

was a balancing act between retribution and clemency.

“I am of the view that a non-custodial sentence would send a wrong message to the community,” Masipa said after summarizing parts of the case and explaining why she reached her decision. “On the other hand, a long sentence would not be appropriate either as it would lack the element of mercy.”

Masipa last month convicted Pistorius of culpable homicide, but acquitted him of murder after he testified he mistook Steenkamp for a nighttime intruder. She asked Pistorius to stand as she delivered the sentence Tuesday, and he faced her with his hands clasped in front of him. Pistorius was then led away by police, stopping briefly to grip the hands of his uncle and other family members as he headed to prison.

Pistorius’ defense and the prosecution have 14 days to

lodge any appeal against the judge’s decision.

Prosecutors said they are considering whether to appeal the sentence, where Pistorius, 27, could serve less than a year in jail for killing his 29-year-old girlfriend.

Nathi Mncube, the prosecution spokesman, said his office was disappointed in the culpable homicide conviction and had not yet decided whether to appeal the sentence.

“We have not made up our minds whether we’re going to appeal it or not,” he said. He added that there was an “appetite” to appeal but that prosecutors would review their options.

“We are satisfied with the fact that he will be serving some time in prison,” Mncube said.

Masipa had a wide range of options available to her because South Africa does not have a minimum sentence for culpable homicide, which is comparable to man-

slaughter. Pistorius faced up to 15 years in jail, but could also have received a completely suspended sentence or house arrest.

Marius du Toit, a legal analyst and criminal defense lawyer, said Pistorius would have to serve one-sixth of his sentence in prison — 10 months — before he could be eligible to be moved to house arrest.

“It’s an appropriate sentence,” du Toit said. He said a higher sentence would have been impossible because “you cannot elevate the sentence to murder.”

Another analyst, law professor Kelly Phelps, said Judge Masipa had done “a remarkable job at balancing all of the competing interests that were weighing down on her.”

As Pistorius left in the police van, a raucous crowd gathered around the vehicle, whistling, shouting and banging on the caged windows.

Oscar de la Renta dead at 82 NEW YORK (AP) — At his Fashion Week runway show in September, Oscar de la Renta sat in his usual spot: in a chair right inside the wings, where he could carefully inspect each model just as she was about to emerge in one of his sumptuous, impeccably constructed designs.

At the end of the show, the legendary designer himself emerged, supported by two of his models. He didn’t walk on his own, and didn’t go far, but he was beaming from ear to ear. He gave each model a peck on the cheek, and then returned to the wings, where models and staff could be heard cheering him enthusiastically.

De la Renta, who dressed first ladies, socialites and Hollywood stars for more than four decades, died Monday evening at his Connecticut home at age 82, only six weeks after that runway show. But not before another high-profile honor was bestowed on him: The most famous bride in the world, Amal Alamuddin, wore a custom, off-theshoulder de la Renta gown

to wed George Clooney in Venice. Photos of the smiling designer perched on a table at the dress fitting appeared in Vogue.

De la Renta died surrounded by family, friends and “more than a few dogs,” according to a handwritten statement signed by his stepdaughter Eliza Reed Bolen and her husband, Alex Bolen. The statement did not specify a cause of death, but de la Renta had spoken in the past of having cancer.

“While our hearts are broken by the idea of life without Oscar, he is still very much with us. Oscar’s hard work, his intelligence and his love of life are at the heart of our company,” the statement said. “All that we have done, and all that we will do, is informed by his values and his spirit.”

The late ‘60s and early ‘70s were a defining moment in U.S. fashion as New Yorkbased designers carved out a look of their own that was finally taken seriously

by Europeans. De la Renta and his peers, including the late Bill Blass, Halston and Geoffrey Beene, defined

American style — and their influence is still spotted today.

De la Renta’s specialty was eveningwear, though he also was known for chic daytime suits favored by the women who would gather at the Four Seasons or Le Cirque at lunchtime. His signature looks were voluminous skirts, exquisite embroideries and rich colors.

Earlier this month, first lady Michelle Obama notably wore a de la Renta dress for the first time. De la Renta had criticized her several years earlier for not wearing an American label to a state dinner in 2011.

Among Obama’s predecessors favoring de la Renta were Laura Bush, who wore an icy blue gown by de la Renta to the 2005 inaugural ball, and Hillary Rodham Clinton, who wore a gold de la Renta in 1997.

“We will miss Oscar’s generous and warm personality, his charm, and his wonderful talents.” Bush said in a statement. “My daughters and I have many fond memories of visits with Oscar, who designed our

favorite clothes, including Jenna’s wedding dress. We will always remember him as the man who made women look and feel beautiful.”

A statement from former President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky, said: “Oscar’s remarkable eye was matched only by his generous heart. His legacy of philanthropy extended from children in his home country who now have access to education and health care, to some of New York’s finest artists whose creativity has been sustained through his support.”

De la Renta made just as big a name for himself on the Hollywood red carpet — with actresses of all ages.

Penelope Cruz and Sandra Bullock were among the celebrities to don his feminine and opulent gowns. His clothes even were woven into episodes of “Sex and the City,” with its style icon, Carrie Bradshaw, comparing his designs to poetry.

One actress who wore a de la Renta gown to this year’s Oscars was Jennifer

“Mr. de la Renta loved women,” she said on Monday evening, wiping away tears. “And you saw it in every design that he did. He honored women’s features, he honored our bodies. He wasn’t afraid to pull back and let the woman be the star of the look.”

One person’s trash ...

Dear Readers: Beware of what you put IN THE TRASH! Did you know it’s NOT illegal, in most cases, to dumpster-dive or go through trash that is on public property? This is information you NEED to know: Once garbage leaves your property and is on a public street or land, it is no longer yours! Anyone driving, walking or jogging by is free to go through your trash. If it’s in bags, they can just scoop it up and take it with them.

A positive aspect, though, is that many times and in lots of places, residents put furniture and other usable items such as lamps and appliances out, with the knowledge that someone may be able to use them. This is a great way to furnish a first apartment!

But what’s on a receipt, credit-card statement or phone bill? You may not think much, but that’s NOT so.

Don’t just throw it away. Stop and think a minute: What’s on there, and what could someone do with this information?

Someone close to you will surprise you; this could be pleasant or not. Nevertheless, by evening, you’re laughing with others. Go figure.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your work routine will be interrupted today, perhaps because of computer crashes, power outages, fire drills, canceled meetings or staff shortages.

Straight games with 5 catches for 50+ yards by Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown, an NFL record.

Painting the playoff picture

National Digest

Steelers win PITTSBURGH — One dizzying sequence, and the Pittsburgh Steelers were in complete control against J.J. Watt and the Houston Texans.

Ben Roethlisberger passed for two touchdowns and wide receiver Antonio Brown added another on a gadget play during a decisive surge late in the first half, helping the Steelers rally for a 30-23 win over the mistake-prone Texans on Monday night.

Pittsburgh (4-3) needed just over a minute to turn a 10-point deficit into an 11-point lead as the Texans self-destructed while losing their third straight.

Roethlisberger finished with 265 yards passing. Le’Veon Bell racked up 145 yards of total offense and rookie wide receiver Martavis Bryant caught a momentum-swinging touchdown pass in his first NFL start.

Arian Foster ran for 102 yards for Houston (3-4), but just 29 over the final three quarters. Ryan Fitzpatrickwas 21 of 32 for 262 yards with two touchdowns and an interception but the Texans were undone by three turnovers.

Watt recovered a fumble and picked up his third sack of the season but was neutralized for most of the second half.

Heading into the final week of the regular season, three area teams have already wrapped up playoff spots.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg, Mount Ayr and East Union are all in the playoffs.

Two other area teams — Lenox and Nodaway Valley — still have to earn playoff berths.

Here is a look at the Iowa High School Athletic Association’s new system for determining playoff matchups, and the different playoff scenarios for each of the five area teams that still have playoff aspirations.

New system This marks the first year of the IHSAA’s new system for determining playoff matchups.

The new system includes two major changes from the previous system — 1) No longer are there sister districts and 2) first-round playoff matchups must not be any farther than a 125mile one-way trip from one school to the other.

Every first round matchup will feature a 1-seed vs. a 4-seed or a 2-seed vs. a 3-seed. The IHSAA will attempt to prevent district rematches from occurring in the first round, but with the 125-mile travel limitation, it is possible that some first round matchups will be district rematches.

For example, applying

the 125-mile limitation to the past two years, Creston/O-M would not have traveled to Sioux City to play Bishop Heelan in the first round, because it is longer than a 125-mile round trip.

The Panthers would have had to play a 1-seed from another district each year, which could have been the champion of Creston/OM’s district, if there were no other 1-seeds within 125 miles.

Also, there is no predetermined bracket for the playoffs, meaning that each round of matchups will be determined after the previous round concludes.

Matchups for the second round will be announced following the completion of the first round.

However, district champions can not meet in the second round of the play-

offs. The first opportunity for district champions to meet on the field would be in the quarterfinals.

Playoff scenarios • Creston/O-M — Win or lose against Atlantic on Friday, the Panthers are the 2-seed f r o m Class 3A District 8, meaning the Panthers will host a playoff game in the first round. Potential first round opponents for the Panthers, with the 125mile rule in mind, include Greene County from District 2, the winner of Friday’s Norwalk vs. Knoxville game in District 7 or whichever team ends up as the 3-seed from District 6.

Greene County is currently tied for second place

in District 2 with Humboldt. Greene County falls within the 125-mile travel limitation, but Humboldt is 126 miles from Creston, eliminating Humboldt as a potential opponent.

The other potential opponent for the Panthers would be the the 3-seed from District 6. There is a chance there could be a five-way tie for first place in District 6. Those five teams — Ballard, Bondurant-Farrar, Gilbert, Grinnell and Newton — are all within 125 miles of Creston.

• Mount Ayr — Win or lose against Southeast Warren on Friday, the Raiders are the 1-seed from Class A District 8, meaning the Raiders would host the first two rounds of the playoffs.

Potential first round opponents for the Raid-

ers include Colfax-Mingo from District 7 or whichever team ends up being the 4-seed from Mount Ayr’s District 8.

Colfax-Mingo is currently tied for fourth in District 7 with Lynnville-Sully.

Lynnvillle-Sully is just outside of the 125-mile travel limitation for the Raiders.

The other potential first round opponent for the Raiders would be the 4-seed from District 1.

Currently, there is a threeway tie for final position from District 1 between Griswold, Tri-Center and Council Bluffs St. Albert.

Griswold and St. Albert are within the 125-mile travel limitation, but Tri-Center, Neola is just outside of 125 miles.

• Nodaway Valley — The Wolverines must win Friday against Bedford to have any chance of qualifying for the playoffs. And they need help from Clarinda Academy.

Nodaway Valley is in with a win over Bedford plus a win by winless Clarinda Academy over Pleasantville.

A three-way tie could emerge if Nodaway Valley beats Bedford, Martensdale-St. Marys beats Earlham and Pleasantville defeats Clarinda Academy.

That would put Nodaway Valley, Earlham and Pleasantville in the threeway tie.

Tiger return

Freshmen

Tiger Woods is hitting full shots on the range again, more than two months after playing his last competitive round at the PGA Championship and saying he would take time to let his ailing back heal.

Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg, said in a text message that Woods is “still listening to his doctors. Hitting balls and doing as much as he feels good with.’’

The former world No. 1, who had back surgery on March 31, returned to competition in June but played just four events before another back issue sidelined him again.

He withdrew during the final round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and a week later missed the cut at the PGA Championship, playing his last round on Aug. 8.

Several days later, Woods took himself out of consideration for a possible at-large pick for the U.S. Ryder Cup team and said he would be shutting it down until his annual fundraising event for the Tiger Woods Foundation, the Hero World Challenge, Dec. 4-7.

Barring any setbacks, Woods is expected to return to competition at that event, which features an 18-player field and will be played at Isleworth in Orlando, Florida.

Woods didn’t resume hitting full shots until last week.

Woods played in just eight tournaments worldwide in 2014, shutting it down for the first time following the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral — where he happened to post his best finish, a tie for 25th.

Creston/O-M scored 14 points in the fourth quarter, but came up short in a 2820 loss to the Dallas Center-Grimes freshmen Friday night.

Kolby Tomas ran 83 yards for a touchdown to pull the Panthers within two points at 8-6 in the second quarter.

But a pass interception return for a touchdown lifted the Mustangs to a 16-6 halftime lead.

Tomas added a 48-yard TD run in the fourth quarter after a punt was returned for a touchdown by DC-G. The Mustangs went in front 28-12 before Jaden Driskell passed to Tomas for a 33-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to close out the scoring. Kelby Luther ran the two-point conversion.

Tomas gained 223 yards on 22 carries. Driskell completed seven passes for 95 yards and a touchdown, with three interceptions. The Panthers also lost four fumbles. Dustin Merritt led the defense with 11 total tackles.

“A tough loss for us,” Creston/O-M coach Jon Thomson said. “The boys played really hard and Kolby Tomas had an excellent game running. We just didn’t take care of the football. You can’t turn it over

Area volleyball SWV Triangular CORNING — Southwest Valley dropped a pair of matches here Thursday at its home triangular against Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson and Shenandoah.

The Timberwolves took the first game from Thomas Jefferson 25-18, before the Yellow Jackets responded by winning the next two games 25-16 and 15-3.

“We did a nice job in the first set against Thomas Jefferson,” Southwest Valley head coach Lindsay Wetzel said. “Sets two and three were a totally different story. We let them go on huge serving runs and we dug a hole we couldn’t climb out of. We have to be more consistent and find the desire to fight back in a match.”

Marie Palmer had nine kills in the match and served one ace. Lexi Bronner added four kills with one solo

block. Danica Sunderman and Jade Petersen each had three kills. Taylor Damewood set 21 assists.

Kim Hults recorded 12 digs and Ka- Damewood tie Taylor added nine.

Shenandoah swept the Timberwolves, but Wetzel felt her team gave much better effort in the 26-24, 25-17 defeat to the Fillies.

“The girls came out and looked like a whole new team,” Wetzel said. “They had focus, intensity, the desire to win and some kids stepped up and acted like leaders. We need more of this to keep our postseason run alive. We played well against Shenandoah

Kole Lovely had two long kickoff returns to give the Panthers favorable field position.

“Tonight was a great way to end our season,” Creston/O-M co-coach Kevin Cooper said. “We really competed hard the entire game. We had some kids out, and the rest of the team stepped in and did a great job. To go on the road to end the year and get the victory is just a really good feeling.”

Wolverines would likely have the best point differential of those three teams in that scenario, Nodaway Valley would be left out of the playoffs. That tie would not go to the point differential tiebreaker, because Earlham owns wins over both Nodaway Valley and Pleasantville, giving the Cardinals the 3-seed.

The 4-seed would then be determined by the headto-head winner of the Nodaway Valley vs. Pleasantville game, which was Pleasantville.

• East Union — The Eagles enter the final week of the season having already clinched a playoff berth.

But, their seed is yet to be determined. East Union can still end up being the 2-seed, 3-seed or 4-seed from Eight-Man District 7.

There are two possible scenarios that end with the

Eagles as the 2-seed from District 7. If East Union beats eighth-ranked Coon Rapids-Bayard by nine or more points, the Eagles get the 2-seed, even if there is a three-way tie that comes down to the point differential tiebreaker. Or, an East Union win by any amount of points paired with an Adair-Casey win over Guthrie Center gives the Eagles the 2-seed.

With a loss to Coon Rapids-Bayard, the Eagles will be either the 3-seed or the 4-seed in District 8. A loss plus a Guthrie Center win over Adair-Casey makes the Eagles the 4-seed. A loss plus an Adair-Casey win over Guthrie Center forces a three-way tie, in which East Union would come out as the 3-seed.

An East Union win by eight or fewer points plus a Guthrie Center win over Adair-Casey forces a three-way tie in which East

Union would come out as the 3-seed.

• Lenox — For the Tigers, it’s simple. Win and you’re in.

Lenox enters the final week of the season with a one-game lead over CAM, its opponent on Friday, and Stanton for third place in Eight-Man District 8. The Tigers clinch the 3-seed from District 8 with a win over CAM. A loss to CAM plus a win by Stanton over Nishnabotna forces a three-way tie between the Tigers, CAM and Stanton that would come down to the point differential tiebreaker.

Kids rock band Big Bang Boom to be in concert

CNA photo by BAILEY POOLMAN

Saw it: Terri Van Gelder, Creston fifth-grade teacher, holds a log while fifth-grade student Connor Rink uses a saw to cut off the end during Creston Elementary School’s Colonial Days Friday.

GREENFIELD — Winners of a grand prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest — playing pop/rock for kids that parents will love, too — Big Bang Boom will play a show 7 p.m. Nov. 1 at the Warren Cultural Center, 154 Public Square, Greenfield. Tickets are $5 for children younger than 12; and $10 for adults.

As children of the ‘70s and ‘80s, with influences ranging from the Bee Gees and KISS to Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, and U2, Big Bang Boom is all about what makes pop popular. Their songs mix alternative rock, hip-hop, punk and country, and have “on message” lyrics.

A Big Bang Boom show is a party – a high impact, high energy, high volume, “you WILL be involved” performance that gets kids (and their parents) up and moving.

The show is sponsored

by Rardin Chiropractic and Adair County Health & Fitness Center, and supported by a grant from the Schildberg Foundation.

The band formed in early 2007 by three devoted dads who just happen to be seasoned professional musicians: Chuck Folds (younger brother of Ben Folds), Steve Willard and Eddie Walker.

Known for laying down solid, hard-rockin’ kid-friendly music for parents who have had enough of Barney and The Wiggles, the trio is now one of the most in-demand kids’/ family acts on tour. They have released three CDs of original music, and have been invited to play the prestigious Kidzapalooza stage at Lollapalooza and many other gigs

Big Bang Boom will perform Nov. 1 at Warren Cultural Center.

at music festivals, camps and schools.

The Nov. 1 show will include an array of super-charged Big Bang Boom-ified classic tunes, such as an everyone-isin-the-band-singing-the-chorus version of “Spongebob Squarepants,” and, as a grand finale, a kids vs. parents contest, in the form of the guys’ famous “Great ‘Hokey Pokey’ Showdown.”

There’ll be plenty of Big Bang Boom originals, such as their theme song, “Big Bang Boom,” which mixes the old school hip-hop technique of shouting “jump, jump, jump”

with a variety of call-and-response activities. Their shows also include educational and even touching moments, with songs about not judging people by appearance or stereotypes (the Lennon Songwriting Contest winning “Monster Under the Bed”) and even an ode to a wonderful “Hippie Mom.” Check out the Big Bang Boom website at www.bigbangboom.weebly.com. Tickets are available in advance at Ed & Eva’s store, 154 Public Square, Greenfield, phone 641-743-2566, or online at warrenculturalcenter.com.
