This year, the process of filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is simpler

and we can transfer that information right into the FAFSA. It makes it easier and quicker.”

And, about 85 percent of students who fill out a FAFSA and meet the requirements will receive some form of financial aid, Frey said.

On Wednesday, SWCC’s ETS program will host FAFSA Ready Iowa, a statewide initiative. The free event is for high school seniors, college students and parents or guardians to complete financial-aid paperwork with the help of college personnel and have

any questions answered.

The event will be from 3 to 7 p.m. in the SWCC instructional building, rooms 208 and 210.

“There’s money out there to help students go to college, especially low income, and the FAFSA is the way to get that money so they can go to college and get the career that they want,” Frey said. “The Iowa FAFSA completion rate is 41 percent, while the national average is 55 percent. Iowa College Access Network has the goal of getting 70 percent for Iowa by 2025.”

All students who plan to attend college following high school graduation are encouraged to attend, as well as students attending any college. Students and parents may drop by anytime during the event.

Each appointment will take about 30 minutes, and appointments will be taken until 7 p.m.

“We encourage all students to apply for FAFSA even if they don’t think they’ll qualify because a lot of scholarship committees will look at that information before awarding scholarships,” Frey said.

“And, even if students don’t think they’ll qualify to get financial aid because they aren’t low income, there will still be student loans available.”

When coming to the event, students or parents should bring the following: • Completed 2015 taxes and W-2 forms for the parents and students, if they filed • Students’ and parents’ Social Security numbers • Students’ and parents’ driver’s licenses • Parents’ 2015 untaxed FAFSA | 2A

CITY COUNCIL

City council member resigns from position

By ALLISON TRETINA from my position due to CNA staff writer atretina@crestonnews.com

Christine Nielsen resigned from her position as Creston City Council member before the end of her term due to health and financial concerns.

Nielsen announced her resignation at the council’s regular meeting on Tuesday, and the council received her letter of resignation the following day on Wednesday.

“I needed to step down

a loophole in our current health-care system,” Nielsen said in an email. “It is an unfortunate truth that I don’t believe will be fixed by either presidential candidate who is running for office. I have Crohn’s disease in my small and large intestines that requires health care (insurance) for my numerous medications and doctor visits. Sadly, this is more of a priority for me and I needed to resign to CITY | 2A

Frey said. “They can do that at www.fsaid.ed.gov.â€?

The FAFSA Ready Iowa program will host more than 60 events in 42 locations across Iowa. Volunteers for FAFSA Ready Iowa help students and families fill out and file the FAFSA as part

of a national program that helps students qualify for federal financial aid. The FAFSA, which is a free form available in paper and electronic formats from the U.S. Department of Education, is the first step in the qualification process. “This program is great for anyone who has questions or wants free help with the FAFSA,� said Brittania Morey, state coordinator for FAFSA Ready Iowa. “It’s especially helpful for students who are low income or are the first generation of their families to attend college, or both.�

For more information, visit the FAFSA Ready Iowa website at www.icansucceed. org/fafsareadyia. Details are also available from the Iowa College Access Network by calling 877-272-4692. For information regarding the Creston event, contact Frey at frey@swcciowa.edu or 641-782-1382. “People get scared about the FAFSA or think it’s difficult, but it’s really not hard and we’ll get them done in 10 or 15 minutes,� Frey said.

Road closed for bridge replacement Union County Secondary Roads has announced it will be closing Warbler Avenue, south of 265th and at Primrose Drive, (Pleasant Township, Sec 34), beginning Monday morning to replace the bridge. The closure is

expected to last three to five months.

guarantee my health-care status.�

Nielsen joined the council in January 2016 and served for more than nine months as city-at-large representative. Nielsen’s term was set to end on Dec. 31, a year after she was elected. “I think it is sad she had to resign,� Mayor ProTem Rich Madison said. “She was a real asset to the council.�

During her time, she

worked closely with the Creston library board and the Friends of the Library.

She also co-chaired the Library Fundraising Committee with Aric Bishop, helping the library board in its efforts to expand by seeking funds through state and federal grants and local fundraisers. “She did a really fine job as far as everyone here was concerned,� Mayor Gary Lybarger said.

Before she joined the council, Nielsen worked with community service organizations in Arizona.

That same passion for the inner workings of the community spurred her to join Creston City Council. “I was inspired to join Creston City Council to first have a better understanding of how our city ran and to better know our policies and ordinances,� she said. “Also, it was at a time when we were discussing closing our small business, Upper Crust, and I still wanted to be a part of our community and have a community presence. I am not a native to Creston, but I consider Creston to be my

home and I have met such wonderful people here that have become family to me.

It was a way for me to give back to my home.�

How quickly the seventh seat on the council fills depends on the experience and qualifications of the candidates applying for the position. “It depends if we get lucky,� Lybarger said. “It could take as long as a month.�

In the coming weeks, the council will notify the public of the open position and begin the application process.

Hostility, geniality mix as Trump, Clinton meet at event WASHINGTON (AP) — Sharply at odds over the Republican’s assertions that he may not concede if he loses on Election Day, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton chose cutting jabs over lighthearted teasing as they came face-to-face at a fundraiser. Yet both showed flashes of willingness to see beyond their bitter election battle, the archbishop who sat between them said Friday.

Still, New York’s Cardinal Timothy Dolan summed up the two candidates’ chemistry at a fundraiser in a word: “Awkward.�

The controversy over Trump’s remarkable assertions trailed the candidates to the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foun- Trump dation Dinner on Thursday, a traditionally genial event that turned bitter at times. Dolan, thrust into the role of temporary peacemaker, described a less antagonistic moment backstage after he invited them to pray. “After the little prayer, Mr. Trump tuned to Secretary Clinton and said, ‘You know, you are one tough

and talented woman,’ and he said this has been a good experience,� Dolan told NBC’s “Today� on Friday. “And she said, ‘Donald, whatever happens, we need to work together afterwards.�

The private moment at an annual Catholic fundraiser in New York was a rare departure from the unsympathetic tone both candidates have struck toward each other in a campaign that has been dominated by deeply personal, no-holdsbarred attacks. “We have proven we can actually be civil with each other,� Trump said about the opponent he has asserted belongs in jail for alleged criminal acts. “In fact, just before taking the dais Hillary accidentally bumped into me and she very civilly said, ‘Pardon me.’�

Following Trump at the dinner, Clinton cracked: “I didn’t think he’d be OK with a peaceful transition of power.�

Republicans and Democrats alike have piled on Trump for refusing to say in the final debate whether he would concede if he loses. On Thursday, Trump said he would accept the results “if I win� or there was a clear outcome, but reserved his right to “contest or file a legal challenge� if he lost on Nov. 8.

He brushed off the like-

lihood of that happening, confident predicting that “we’re not going to lose.�

Among those criticizing Trump was Sen. John McCain, the Arizona Republican who lost to Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential race. “I didn’t like the outcome of the 2008 election.

But I had a duty to concede, and I did so without reluctance,� McCain said in a statem e n t . “A concession isn’t just an exercise in graciousness. It is McCain an act of respect for the will of the American people, a respect that is every American leader’s first responsibility.�

While Trump maintained he would win, numerous Republican leaders conceded he was heading for defeat barring a significant shift in the campaign’s closing days. The GOP’s top concern was turning to salvaging its majority in the Senate, followed closely by worries over the Republicans’ once comfortable grip on the House.

At the dinner, a tradition intended to bring candidates together in a display of national unity, Trump

drew some boos and jeers in the Waldorf-Astoria ballroom when he referred to Clinton being “so corrupt� and said without apparent humor that she was appearing at the event “pretending not to hate Catholics� — a line delivered during a benefit for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.

Clinton’s jokes were cutting but delivered in the more accepted fashion of a roast. While several women have accused Trump of being sexually aggressive, Clinton steered clear of that controversy but referenced his public comments about the appearance of women: Donald looks at the Statue of Liberty and sees a 4 — maybe a 5 if she loses the torch and tablet and changes her hair.�

During an Ohio rally earlier Thursday, Trump tried to turn the attention to Clinton by accusing her of “cheating� and suggesting she should “resign from the race.� He cited a hacked email disclosed publicly by WikiLeaks that showed her campaign was tipped off about a question she’d be asked in a CNN town hall meeting during the Democratic primary. “Can you imagine if I got the questions? They would call for the re-establishment of the electric chair, do you agree?� Trump said.

DES MOINES (AP) — A judge has ruled that an Iowa Transportation Department officer didn’t have legal authority to issue a speeding ticket.

Polk County District Court Associate Judge Heather Lauber said in

her Thursday ruling dismissing the citation that the Iowa Supreme Court declared nearly 70 years ago that the department officers didn’t have power over most moving violations.

The Des Moines Regis-

ter reports that if Lauber’s ruling survives a possible appeal, legal challenges could follow on thousands of tickets issued by Transportation Department officers.

Sixteen-year-old Peyton Atzen and his parents

fought the ticket, fearing he could lose his license.

The officer ticketed Atzen on May 27 after he was clocked going 84 mph in a 55 mph zone. Atzen says he was speeding but doesn’t think he was going that fast.

Templeton Rye plans to add Judge: Transportation department officer can’t cite speeder distillery at Iowa facility TEMPLETON (AP) — Templeton Rye plans to distill whiskey at its bottling facility in west-central Iowa.

The Des Moines Register reports that the company is adding distilling equipment and warehouses at its plant in Templeton, a Carroll County town of about 360 residents.

In 2015 the company settled lawsuits over labeling the whiskey as “small-batch rye� made in Iowa when it actually was a stock whiskey made by

MGP Ingredients in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.

It’s unclear whether the expansion project means all of the Templeton Rye will be distilled in Templeton. Templeton officials have not responded to requests for comment.

The company is seeking around $1.6 million in tax credits and refunds from the Iowa Economic Development Authority to help the expansion project. The expansion is expected to create 27 jobs.

Board backs open records complaint, delays final action DES MOINES (AP) — A panel has tentatively agreed to reinstate open records complaints against Burlington police and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.

The Burlington Hawk Eye reports the Iowa Public Information Board Thursday voted 4-2 to reinstate charges regarding investigative records about an officer’s accidental shooting of Burlington resident Autumn Steel in January 2015.

An administrative law judge dismissed the com-

plaints in September, citing procedural defects.

Authorities released a brief body camera clip of the shooting and summary of the incident but won’t release additional records, saying records can be kept secret because they are part of an officer’s investigative report. The officer wasn’t charged.

On Thursday, the board voted to refile the complaints, then rescinded the vote to ensure they were properly filed.

The board will vote again Oct. 27.

Aerial spraying planned to combat invasive plants on wildlife areas The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will be aerial spraying for bush honeysuckle on the Mount Ayr, Sand Creek and Dekalb Wildlife Management areas (WMA) in south central Iowa through mid-November.

Spraying will occur after most trees have lost their leaves but while the honeysuckle leaves are still green.

Bush honeysuckle is an invasive species that is bad for the native wildlife community and makes hunting difficult.

“There is usually a small window each fall after the native plants have become dormant when we can spray the honeysuckle with glyphosate (Round-up) and kill it with-

A shot of internet info Dear Heloise: When you see something on the internet that you want to remember, save or forward, just take a SCREEN SHOT. On my tablet, I click the “photo” button and the “on/off” button simultaneously. I get an instant photo in my photo album.

Then I can sort the photos into whatever categories I need, like household hints, legal papers, funny things, to-do items, etc. – Lydia C., via email.

Anyone who wants to use this hint but doesn’t know how to do this with your own electronic device, do a “how-to” web search, and you will find a “how-to” video to help you with your specific device. – Heloise

My hint may be an old one, but it’s one I just thought of: For each passenger, print out a county map, from

Hints from Heloise the internet, of each state being visited. Have a box of colored pencils ready. Each time a county line is crossed (there’s usually a sign), color in that county.

Save the maps in a folder for the next time you visit the state. A family could make it a goal to visit every county in the state. Texas has 254 counties! – Doreene B. in San Antonio Just have to ask, are you a retired or ex-geography teacher? Great lesson!

October is Children’s Health Month Kids and germs seem to go together like milk and cookies. But, there are ways parents can keep germs from spreading and boost kids’ immune systems to help prevent illnesses this cold and flu season, a UIeCare health expert says.

“The gathering of children in schools and daycares is one of the main ways germs spread and get circulated through communities,” said Patrick D. Brophy, MD, MHCDS, professor of pediatrics at University of Iowa and medical director for UIeCare. “One of the best defenses against the spread of germs is for kids to wash their hands frequently at school and home.”

Since kids often touch their mouths and faces, parents should make sure their hands are washed with soap and water to remove germs before eating, after using the bathroom and when they come inside from playing. Hand

sanitizer can be used for times it’s not possible to wash.

In conjunction with Children’s Health Month, Brophy offers the following five tips to help protect children from the inevitable germs lurking at school and home.

• Get active – Kids should get regular, moderate exercise to boost their immune systems. In fact, studies have shown that being active can help reduce cold and flu episodes.

Exercising outside can also give kids the health benefits of added Vitamin D from the sun.

• Get plenty of sleep – Children need between nine and 14 hours of sleep a day depending on their age. Make sure kids go to bed at a reasonable hour and have a consistent bedtime routine. Sleep deprivation can weaken the immune system and increase the risk of getting sick.

• Eat a well-balanced diet – Provide meals with

plenty of colorful fruits and vegetables to help boost children’s immune systems. Look for foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin D and avoid those high in additives, preservatives and sugars.

• Decrease stress – Going to school or daycare can be stressful for some children. Elevated stress hormones can lead to decreased immunity. Give children plenty of down time for rest and creative play to help lower their stress levels and keep them from getting sick.

• Avoid sharing – Sharing is good for kids, but many commonly shared items can be breeding grounds for germs. Teach children never to share straws and cups, and send them to school with a personal set of supplies.

“If kids do get sick, it’s important for parents to keep them home and take steps to prevent germs from spreading to others,” Brophy said. “If a doctor’s

visit is necessary, virtual care makes it easy to see a physician without an appointment from the comfort of home.”

UIeCare, one of Iowa’s first virtual care services, makes it possible for Iowans to see a UI Health Care-credentialed provider on a computer or smart phone from anywhere in Iowa at any time. The UIeCare service is for minor illnesses and injuries that are urgent but not an emergency, such as flulike symptoms, rash, sore throat and vomiting.

A UIeCare visit costs $50. Patients do not need health insurance and can seek reimbursement from a health savings account or insurance plan. UIeCare visitors do not need to be a patient at the University of Iowa to use the service.

Iowans who are interested in learning more or would like to request online care can visit uiecare. com.

prescriptions, you can use the “Medicare Plan Finder” tool to compare your coverage and out-of-pocket costs under different plans.

The quality of a health or drug plan’s customer service should be considered, too. To help you identify the best and worst, the plan finder provides star ratings for each plan. A gold star will show plans with the highest, five-star rating, while a warning icon will alert you to plans that have performed poorly for at least the past three years.

Besides using Medicare.gov, you can call Medicare’s tollfree help line at 800-633-4227 or consult your “Medicare and You 2017 Handbook,” which you have received in the mail.

One-on-one benefits counseling is also available through your State Health Insurance Assistance Program for free.

In Iowa, you should call 800351-4664.

Thanks to the health-care law, you’ll enjoy more savings on your prescriptions in 2017 once you land in the coverage gap, known as the “doughnut hole.” You’ll receive a 60-percent discount on your brandname drugs and a 49-percent discount on your generic drugs while in the gap. The doughnut hole begins once you and your drug plan have spent $3,700 for drugs.

If you’re having difficulty affording medications, you may qualify for extra help with your drug coverage premiums, deductibles and co-payments.

The amount of help depends on your income and resources.

But, generally, you’ll pay no more than $3.30 for generic drugs and $8.25 for brandname drugs, and 22 percent of Iowans with Medicare’s drug coverage now get such a break.

To learn more about whether you qualify for extra help, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/ prescriptionhelp or call Social Security at 800-772-1213.

Any changes you make will take effect on Jan. 1.

Now’s the time for Iowans with Medicare to check their health and drug coverage for 2017. Medicare’s open enrollment period runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7.

Open enrollment is the best time to make sure your health and drug plans still meet your individual needs, especially if you’ve had any changes in your health.

By now insurers should have notified you of any adjustments in your health or drug coverage or any changes in your out-of-pocket costs for next year.

The average monthly premium for a Medicare Advantage plan will drop by $1.19 to $31.40, while the average monthly premium for a basic drug plan will inch up $1.50 to $34.

Medicare Advantage remains a strong alternative for people who prefer to receive care through a private insurer rather than through Medicare’s original fee-for-service program. Enrollment in the private Medicare Advantage plans is expected to grow by 1.2 million to 18.5 million people in 2017 – about 32 percent of Medicare beneficiaries.

Even if you’ve been satisfied with your health and drug coverage, you may benefit from reviewing all your options. Shopping around may save you money or improve your coverage.

Iowans in Medicare’s original fee-for-service program can choose from 22 drug plans with the lowest monthly premium at $17. Look beyond premiums, though. The only way to determine the true cost of your drug coverage is to consider other factors like deductibles, co-payments and coinsurance.

Medicare’s website, www. medicare.gov, has the best tool for helping you narrow your search for a new health or drug plan. Just click on “Find Health and Drug Plans.” After entering your ZIP code and the list of your

All-American PELLA — Central College men’s basketball forward Colby Taylor, senior from Creston, has been selected to the Sporting News Magazine Division III Preseason All-America Team.

Taylor was placed on the second team by Sporti n g News a n d is the only player from a n Taylor Iowa Conference school selected at any level of All-American.

Taylor led the Dutch in scoring (20.2 ppg) and rebounding (9.7 rpg) last season. He also recorded 12 double-doubles and shot over 80 percent from the free throw line.

NV’s quest for consecutive titles takes big step forward Weinheimer, Kuhns qualify for girls

■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

ANKENY — There’s one goal left on this year’s checklist for the Nodaway Valley boys cross country team after Thursday’s Class

1A state qualifying meet.

It’s a goal that no sport in Nodaway Valley school history has ever done — win back-to-back state championships.

It’s a goal the team is set on changing this season.

Nodaway Valley will race for its second consecutive state championship on Oct. 29 at Lakeside Muncipal Golf Course at Kennedy Park in Fort Dodge. The Class 1A boys race starts at

2:30 p.m.

The topranked W o l verines cruised to the team title at the Class 1A Burmeister state qualifying meet hosted by Ankeny Centennial.

The Wolverines placed five scoring runners in the top 12 and all seven in the

top 22 to win with 33 points.

Eagle Grove was a distant second with 98 points. West Fork was third with 125 points.

“We’ve never been backto-back state champs in any sport,” said coach Darrell Burmeister. “We’ve challenged them on that. That’s been the challenge since the end of last year.”

Nodaway Valley dominated the field, sending a message to the rest of the

teams in Class 1A. The Wolverines’ average time was 17 minutes, 11 seconds. The spread between the top five was 31 seconds.

“It was a really good night,” Burmeister said.

“I really liked the average time. I really liked the spread. It was a really strong outing by our boys.”

The boys team this season is the 25th Nodaway Valley NV | 3S

■ Creston sophomore Baker earns state trip, this time in cross country

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

ATLANTIC — Creston sophomore Brielle Baker ended her softball season Fort Dodge, playing on a Panther team that finished seventh in Class 4A. For the second consecutive sports season, she’ll end it in Fort Dodge at state.

Baker finished ninth to punch a ticket to state at the Class 3A state qualifying meet held at the Atlantic Golf & Country Club Thursday.

Baker finished in 20 minutes, 38 seconds, well ahead of 15th-place Maggie Pollard of Gilbert, who finished in 21:02.

The top 15 individual and top three teams in both the girls and boys race advanced to state.

Baker is the 15th female individual state meet qualifier in school history. Overall between girls and boys, she’s the 33rd individual qualifier in school history and 22nd in the past 17 seasons.

Baker will take the starters gun at the state championships on Oct. 29 at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course at Kennedy Park in Fort Dodge. The Class 3A girls race starts at noon.

“I’m really happy that I’m getting to go to Fort Dodge for the second time in a row since we went there for softball,” Baker said. “It feels really good to carry over to cross country.”

The hard work Baker and her teammates put into reaching the state softball tournament carried over for the Panther sophomore in cross country.

“It shows that hard work pays off,” Baker said. “I reCNA photo by RYAN KRONBERG ally carried it over. I liked it, Creston sophomore Brielle Baker pushes at the end of so to go there again is a cool the Class 3A girls state qualifying cross country meet PANTHERS | 2S

Determined Lohmann earns state bid

■ Diagonal runner becomes first to make state in cross country

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

PANORA — Diagonal’s Maddie Lohmann doesn’t explode out of the starting line, but when she secures a spot among the top girls in the field, she keeps it.

Lohmann easily secured a spot among the top 15 runners and kept it for the rest of the race at the Class 1A state qualifying meet in Panora to secure a spot at

the state championships at Lakeside Municipaal Golf Course in Fort Dodge. She finished in 14th with a time of 21:21, a new personal record for her.

She will run at the state meet Saturday, Oct 29 at 2 p.m.

“For most of it I was in 15th, so I didn’t want to slow down because I didn’t want to get passed,” Lohmann said. “Getting 16th would have made me very mad.”

Diagonal coach Matt Warren knew his star runner had it in her to get to state coming into the race.

“Maddie came out here and ran her best time of the year against really good competition,” Warren said.

“I knew she had a good chance to make it, but she

had to run really well. That’s exactly what she did. Awesome achievement, she gets to represent herself and Diagonal at the state meet, and I think that’s pretty cool.”

Lohmann snatched her spot in Fort Dodge by defeating the 15th and 16th place runners by 16 seconds.

“She’s got a week to prepare to run her best time the year to shave some even more time off, so that’s what we’ll work on,” Warren said.

experience.”

Baker went out with the lead pack, led by the Denison-Schleswig duo of Reagan Andersen and Ellie Mendlik.

“They were really fast,” Baker said. “I tried to stay up with them.”

Andersen and Mendlik took control, but Baker stayed in touch with the top pack.

“I continued to stay with them so I tried to finish my best.”

Going out with the top pack was a key going into the race.

“One goal we stressed, especially with her being her first time at state qualifying was to hang with the top 10,” said Creston coach Pat Schlapia. “If she was sitting around 14th, 15th spot, you don’t want to fall off any pace.”

Baker had an idea of what Andersen and Mendlik could do after running against them a week ago at the Hawkeye 10 Conference meet, along with Atlantic’s Ashley Wendt, who placed sixth, and Harlan’s Greichaly Kaster, who was 10th.

“That was nice she had a chance to run against those two Denison girls,” Schlapia said. “She could see where she was at, the challenge.”

Baker stayed ahead of a chase pack that was closing in on her down the stretch.

“I knew there was another pack coming behind me,” she said. “I really pushed hard there. I pushed as fast as I ever could. I tried to give it my all at the end.”

Baker’s race was as good as she could’ve run.

“She ran a fantastic race with it,” Schlapia said. “She ran very determined. She beared down all the way through.”

Thursday was Baker’s first look at the hilly Atlantic Golf & Country Club course. The Panthers were supposed to run there earlier this month, but the meet was cancelled by threatening weather.

“It was impressive how she handled the course,” Schlapia said. “She ran very solid and very strong. She maintained that pace.”

Baker avenged an earlier-season loss to Pollard at the Ballard meet. She also beat Kaster. Kaster had placed ahead of Baker at the Hawkeye 10 meet.

Baker controlled any nerves she might have had effectively.

“With that being the first

time running in a big money meet like that, to get through go to state she handled it very well,” Schlapia said. “Talk about nerves —she went out and ran those nerves out. It was a very proud moment.

We’re very proud of her.”

Baker will now have the opportunity to test herself among the state’s best.

“She proved she belongs there,” Schlapia said.

Heartbreak for Irr As joyous as it was for Baker, there was another feeling on the other end of the spectrum for boys senior Ben Irr. Irr’s bid for a third trip to Fort Dodge was dashed as he placed 31st.

“It’s bittersweet,” Irr said.

Irr had a smile on his face, but Schlapia understood the disappointment Irr was feeling after.

“You feel bad for him,” Schlapia said. “There’s nothing in unofficial coaches handbook to stay the perfect thing to him. On the outside he’s very positive, but you know it’s disappointing for him. It’s not the way he wanted to go out.”

Irr pushed hard in the first mile, staying with the lead pack.

“I had to go out or I wasn’t going to have any chance,” Irr said.

But a group of runners from Gilbert and Dallas Center-Grimes worked past Irr. Irr’s tank was spent after the early part of the race.

“I went out really fast. I had too,” Irr said. “Once I got up to the first mile, two mile, once that DC-G and Gilbert pack came through, I didn’t have much left in the tank.”

The competition was tougher than Irr could ever remember at a state qualifying meet.

“This was about the toughest district I’ve ever seen,” Irr said. “Coach was saying it’s almost a mini state meet.

It was more than I anticipated.”

Dallas Center-Grimes, Carlisle and Gilbert brought with them a number of strong runners that found themselves in the top 15.

Dallas Center-Grimes had four in the top 15. Carlisle had two in the top four and Gilbert had five in the top 14.

Between those three schools, they took up 11 of the 15 individual qualifying spots.

“Ben ran into a buzz saw.

That was an understatement,” Schlapia said. “It was one tough race. When you look at it, I consider it more than a state qualifying meet.

Four Creston seniors ran their final race at the state qualifying meet at the Atlantic Golf & Country Club Thursday.

From left are seniors Lexie Little, Ben Irr, Isaac Wignall and Rachel Shepherd.

It was almost like a state meet.

“Out of the five regions, we had the toughest region.”

There were four ranked teams in the field coming into the meet and only three qualified for state. Gilbert won the meet with 50 points.

Dallas Center-Grimes was second with 54 points and Carlisle was third with 71 points. Atlantic was a distant fourth with 119 points. Creston was 10th with 300 points.

On the girls side, Sophia Groumoutis was the next Panther across in 39th. Rachel Shepherd was 48th.

“Sophia picked up the slack as our number two runner when Rachel struggled the last half of the race,” Schlapia said. “When a teammate struggles, the next person has to pick up the slack.

Sophia was a little under two minutes behind Brielle.”

Brittany Linch was 54th, followed by Lexie Little in 66th and Danielle Castillo in 71st.

Creston placed eighth as a team with 213 points. Dallas Center-Grimes won a balanced team race with 75 points. Gilbert was second with 84 points, followed by Denison-Schleswig in third with 85 points.

“There was some pretty tight competition,” Schlapia said. “We need to improve on that team scoring and team placing.”

On the boys side, Isaac Wignall ran one of his best races of his career, placing 42nd in 18:53.

It was the first time Wignall broke the 19 minute barrier.

“It was a good education for those four,” Schlapia said. “It’s time for them to step up next season. They’ve been through this once before. Now they know what to expect.”

Schlapia noted how well both teams ran.

“I’m very proud of our girls and boys,” Schlapia said. “They represented Creston in fine fashion. I’m very proud of how we ran in a Creston uniform.”

Schlapia noted the support from the administration and community was appreciated.

“That support means a lot,” Schlapia said.

team to made it to state since 1997. The boys have qualified for state 13 times and the girls 12 times.

Leading the way was state meet veteran Shane Breheny.

The senior finished s e c o n d S. Breheny in 16:54.

West Fork senior Jacob Hansen, the top-ranked runner in Class 1A, was the champion in 16:38.

“Shane was with him for the first mile and a half,” Burmeister said.

“Shane closed on him at the end.”

Rawlings Rawlings, a junior, was a pleasant surprise in placing seventh, and third on the team.

“The big movement on the team was Skyler Rawlings,” Burmeister said.

Senior Brayten Funke was close behind in ninth place.

“Brayten has been solid all year,” Burmeister said.

Freshman Tyler Breheny was the lone freshman to qualify individually out of the meet with a 12th-place finish.

“To have a freshman qualify for the state meet is a big deal,” Burmeister said.

Senior Matthew Dickinson was injured at the state qualifying meet a year ago.

He was able to recover and qualify individually this season in placing 13th. Senior Dallas Kreager rounded out the Wolverines lineup placing 22nd.

For Shane Breheny and Wallace, they continue their strong legacy.

“They’ve been with me all the way since junior high,” Burmeister said. “We knew as freshmen we had something special. Now they’re juniors and seniors. They’ve put a lot of hard work in, a lot of miles over the summer.

They’re just good kids.’

Burmeister was appreciative of the patrons who made their way up from the Nodaway Valley area to cheer the team on.

Weinheimer, Kuhns qualify for NV girls On the girls side, Nodaway Valley freshman Reagan Weinheimer was a question coming into the meet.

It wasn’t because of her on course performance, but

rather a medical ailment that nearly jeopardized her opportunity to run at the state qualifying meet.

Weinheimer made it to school on time, then survived the meet. She placed fourth overall in a time of 20:45 to punch her ticket to state.

The Class 1A girls race starts at 2 p.m. in Fort Dodge.

Weinheimer was running with a severe ear infection.

Burmeister noted she almost missed school Thursday, which would’ve kept her out of the meet.

“She just made it to school in time, by three minutes,” Burmeister said.

The day leading into the meet was not pleasant for W e i n heimer, yet, she pushed through it.

“She was not able to keep a n y t h i n g Weinheimer down,” Burmeister said. “She went through a lot of different emotions, a lot of pain.”

Weinheimer was comfortably in the top five. At one point she was in second before settling for a fourthplace finish, five seconds ahead of fifth and comfortably in the top 15.

“She was playing it safe to-

day,” Burmeister said. “She didn’t really push herself too hard. All we wanted was her to qualify.”

The big surprise for Nodaway Valley came courtesy of freshman Mallory Kuhns.

K u h n s raced her way to a 14th-place Kuhns finish in 2 1 : 5 7 .

She was one second ahead of 15th-place finisher Ilia Hostetter of Colfax-Mingo and 10 seconds ahead of 16th-place Abby Gruver of Lynnville-Sully.

Kuhns just took up the sport this fall.

“We’re glad she came out this year,” Burmeister said.

“She took a chance.”

Kuhns started out strong and stayed within the top 15 throughout the race.

“She did great,” Burmeister said. “She started out great. She’s a strong-willed runner.”

Burmeister put the bug in Kuhns’ ear about a month ago that if she could get her time down to around 22 minutes, state was a possibility.

It certainly was.

“She was strong down the finish,” Bumeister said.

“We’re happy for her.”

Cubs move within a game of the WS LOS ANGELES — (AP) One win away. Two chances at home. Seven decades of waiting.

The Chicago Cubs closed in on their first World Series trip since 1945 by beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-4 on Thursday in Game 5 of their National League playoff.

Jon Lester pitched seven sharp innings , Addison Russell hit a tiebreaking homer and the Cubs grabbed a 3-2 lead in the NL Championship Series.

On deck, a pair of opportunities to wrap up that elusive pennant at Wrigley Field.

“The city of Chicago has got to be buzzing,” manager Joe Maddon said. “We’re not going to run away from anything.

It’s within our reach right now.”

The Cubs’ first opportunity to clinch comes Saturday night in Game 6, when Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw faces major league ERA leader Kyle Hendricks.

runner among a group of East Union, Mount Ayr, Southwest Valley and Lenox to get a runner to state among the girls or guys.

Jena Proffitt and Emma Harper of East Union missed out on spots at state with times of 22:14 and 22:21 to finish in 19th and 21st respectively.

The East Union girls finished fifth as a team, missing a state slot by two spots.

“She (Proffitt) ran a great race again but like I say, you look at some of the teams that are here and you look at the state rankings, there’s some high-level teams here,” said East Union coach Rich Bryson.

His girls were disappointed, thinking that two runners and possibly the girls team had a shot at state.

“The girls had high hopes and high goals and for the most part we’ve reached a lot of those. They’ve done an excellent job,” Bryson said.

“I’m going to tell the girls that it shouldn’t diminish the success they’ve had this year.”

Four senior girls and two senior boys graduate from the Eagles, three of which were on the team when the program started up again four years ago.

East Union loses seniors Jena Proffitt, Emma Harper, Allison Hadley and, Walter “We started with eight kids four years ago 7-12, and we have 26 kids in the program now,” Bryson said. “That’s a testament to what they’ve done over four years.”

Southwest Valley had its top finishers on the girls side in 35th and 39th, those being Maslyn Hummel and Elizabeth Fuller in times of 23:17 and 23:30. The Timberwolves finished 13th.

“They ran good together and they ran good times,” Southwest Valley coach Josh Sussman said.

Fuller, Chloe Keefe and Diana Berggren will be lost to graduation.

“It’ll be tough to lose Liz. She’s a senior and she’s been a great leader for us and she’s run well all season. We’re going to have Mazzie coming back for us as a junior. She’s expecting a strong season.”

Mount Ayr’s girls received their top finish from Rachel Gregg, who came in at a time of 24:39 to finish in 65th. The Raiderettes came in 18th.

The Raiderettes lose seniors Megan Warrin, Meagan Reasoner, Breanne Haley and Cassie Brand.

Lenox’s top girls finisher was Stephanie Davidson in 82nd place in a time of 25:54.

For the boys, Mount Ayr took six place with top finishes from the usual suspects of Isaac Timmerman, Chase Smith and Will Hunt. Timmerman took 30th in 19:12.

Southwest Valley was 14th out of the 18 squads.

for Southwest Valley, ran their last race. Haggerty ran the top time for his team with a 20:01 while Davis was two spots behind. Wyatt McAlpin also ran his last race.

“He (Davis) was running 25-minute 5k’s last year, now he’s running 20-minute 5k’s, so really proud of him,” Sussman said.

East Union’s top boys finisher was Cole Nelson, coming in at 64th in a time of 20:33. Senior boys Jacob and Casey Walter will be lost to graduation.

Orient-Macksburg was selected for the Panorama meet, but did not race.

Keaton Wambold is the lone Bulldog senior to graduate.
