digging through a pie to find a gumball without using their hands. The two principals completed this challenge Thursday morning in the Creston Elementary/Middle School commons in front of elementary students to reward them for collecting $709 in Box Tops for Education during the fall. After about two minutes of furious chewing, Driskell emerged the winner. The classroom to collect the most Box Tops this fall was Tara Waigand’s first-grade class, which collected 800, or $80. Also pictured are first-grader Tayler Moffitt, left, who raised the most Box Tops in Waigand’s class, and Creston PTO secretary Erin Kiley, who coordinated the contest. The school will have another Box Tops contest in the spring. For video of the challenge, visit www.crestonnews.com.

As 2015 draws to a close, questions are arising about how and when to renew a nonprofessional permit to carry weapons.

This coming January will mark five years since Iowa administrators changed the permit to carry law, which allows those with permits to wait five years instead of one.

“This year is confusing because they (those with permits) aren’t sure if they need to get new training, or if they don’t need new training,” said Tracy Chapman, Union County Sheriff’s Office civil clerk. “It

just depends on when they come in, how long is left on their permit.”

A person with a permit already has two choices: renew or get a new one in the county he or she resides.

This choice is dependent on the expiration date of the permit.

For a new permit, the current permit must be expired, have less than 30 days until expiration or the person is getting a permit for the first time. The person can fill out an application at the Union County Sheriff’s Office, located at 302 N. Pine St. Some training, such as through the military or with a certified instructor, for a new permit has to be on file in Union County. There

is no need to bring in new information for this kind of permit if the person had one in the county previously.

For those renewing their permits, they would have to have a permit issued in Union County and have 30 days or more left. If the person meets those requirements, he or she also has to show new training within 12 months prior to renewing.

“I think people are getting a little concerned that they need to run out there and get new training,” Chapman said.

Trainings can be online or in person, as long as the instructor is certified through law enforcement or National Rifle Association. Iowa law also specifies a person

“I think people are getting a little concerned that they need to run out there and get new training.”

renewing his or her permit can choose to qualify on a range under the supervision of a certified instructor instead of going through training.

The cost of a new permit is $50, and a renewed permit is $25. There is a $5 Please see PERMIT, Page 2

American Red Cross encourages donors to give blood before the holiday season.

■

The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood before the holiday season is in full swing.

Blood donations often decline from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day when holiday festivities pull people away from their donation appointments. This often causes a drop in the blood available for patients.

Donations are needed in the weeks leading up to the holidays to help offset this seasonal decline.

Donors with all blood types are needed, and especially those with types O negative, B negative, A negative and AB blood.

To make an appointment to donate blood, download the free Red Cross Blood Donor app from app stores, visit redcrossblood. org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Donors can now use the Blood Donor app to access their donor card and view vital signs from previous donations.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities in Creston are noon to 6 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Trinity Lutheran Church, 800 N. Sumner or 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 10 at the SWCC Instructional Building, 1501 W. Townline.

Mexico bracing for Category 5 hurricane PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico (AP) — Hurricane Patricia headed toward southwestern Mexico Friday as a monster Category 5 storm, the strongest ever in the Western Hemisphere that forecasters said could make a “potentially catastrophic landfall” later in the day.

Residents of a stretch of Mexico’s Pacific Coast dotted with resorts and fishing villages on Thursday had already boarded up homes

and bought supplies ahead of Patricia’s arrival. Some evacuations were reported in Puerto Vallarta.

With maximum sustained winds near 200 mph (325 kph), Patricia is the strongest storm ever recorded in the eastern Pacific or in the Atlantic, said Dave Roberts, a hurricane specialist at the U.S. National Hurricane Center.

Patricia’s power was comparable to that of Typhoon Haiyan, which left more

than 7,300 dead or missing in the Philippines two years ago, according to the U.N.’s World Meteorological Organization. More than 4 million people were displaced and over 1 million houses were destroyed or damaged in 44 provinces in the central Visayas region, a large cluster of islands that includes some of the country’s poorest provinces.

AMES — High school juniors and seniors interested in cattle and beef production will take home more than $7,500 in scholarships from the Beef Scholarship Extravaganza that will be held Dec. 4 in Ames.

The event is organized and hosted by the Iowa Cattlemen’s Foundation as an educational opportunity for high school students.

Team registrations are due Nov. 1. Students can organize teams based on high school, FFA, 4-H, county or beef breeds affiliation to compete for the scholarships. Any adult can serve as the team’s advisor.

Trailing in polls, Democratic hopeful Chafee ends presidential campaign WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee announced Friday he would end his quixotic Democratic presidential campaign after failing to gain traction against Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

“After much thought I have decided to end my campaign for president today,” Chafee said at a women’s forum held by the Democratic National Committee. “But I would like to take this opportunity one last time to advocate for a chance be given to peace.”

Chafee delivered a widely panned debate performance earlier this month and has struggled to raise money and generate enthusiasm in a field that has been dominated by Clinton, a former sec-

retary of state, and Sanders, the Vermont independent senator.

Chafee’s departure comes days after Vice President Joe Biden declined to join the field and former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb announced he was leaving the Democratic campaign and would consider an independent bid.

It leaves Clinton, Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley as the three main contenders for the nomination. All three are appearing Saturday at a major Iowa Democratic fundraising dinner in Des Moines, an event that helped fuel President Barack Obama’s rise in the fall of 2007.

The former Rhode Island senator surprised many when he formed a presiden-

“Because it was in the news, we got a lot of people applying for permits who had never had them before,” Chapman said.

something to do with the extended time frame for permits and because it was ackowledged in the media.

Permits must be on the person if he or she goes armed; if not, the person will be charged with a simple misdemeanor.

HEALTH The dangers of a low salt diet

(BPT) — Salt, or sodium chloride, is essential for life.

In fact, no mineral is more essential to human survival than sodium because it allows nerves to send and receive electrical impulses, helps your muscles stay strong, and keeps your cells and brain functioning.

However, sodium chloride (salt) is a nutrient that the body cannot produce, and therefore it must be eaten.

The average American eats about 3,400 mg per day of sodium, according to The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. You may have heard that this is too much, but according to new research, it may actually be on the low side of the healthy range.

A 2014 study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, tested sodium consumption in more than 100,000 people in 17 countries. The study found that the healthy range for sodium consumption was between 3,000 and 6,000 mg per day. Eating more than 7,000 mg per day of sodium increases your risk of death or cardiovascular incidents, but not as much as eating less than 3,000 mg per day.

The low salt diet was significantly more harmful than the high salt diet.

Salt has many health benefits.

The other component of salt, chloride, is also essential to survival and good health. It preserves acidbase balance in the body, aids potassium absorption, improves the ability of the blood to move harmful carbon dioxide from tissues out to the lungs and, most importantly, it supplies the crucial stomach acids required to break down and digest all the foods we eat.

Because the level of salt consumption is so sta-

ble, it is an ideal medium to use for fortifying other essential nutrients such as iodine. Iodized salt first produced in the U.S. in 1924 is now used by 75 percent of the world’s population to protect against mental retardation due to Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD). Iodine is an essential element in healthy human life, enabling the function of thyroid glands to produce needed hormones for proper metabolism. When children in the womb don’t get enough iodine from their mother, fetal brain development may be impaired.

During pregnancy, iodine

deficiency can cause a child to develop learning disabilities and mental retardation as well as developmental problems affecting his speech, hearing and growth.

Salt is also a vital component of hydration. After exercise, it is critical to replace both water and salt lost through perspiration during exercise. That is why all athletes make sure they are consuming sufficient salt during and after a workout. Expectant mothers and seniors, in particular, need to guard against under-consumption of salt. Highersalt diets have also been used successfully to combat

chronic fatigue syndrome.

Asthma sufferers, particularly in Eastern Europe, are often treated by having the person spend time in salt mines or salt caves. This is because the unique microclimate, containing ultrafine salt particles helps clear the lungs.

Low salt diet myths Low salt diets can be especially harmful for the elderly. In older people, mild hyponatremia (low sodium concentration) is the most common form of electrolyte imbalance in the blood. Indeed, several recent medical papers found a direct relationship between hyponatremia and unsteadiness, falls, bone fractures and attention deficits. Elderly people on low salt diets often experience lack of thirst which leads to dehydration and they experience loss of appetite that leads to a host of health problems.

Falls are one of the most serious problems for the elderly and about a third of people older than 65 fall at least once every year.

Fall-related injuries in the elderly are associated with numerous psychological and

physical consequences and are a leading cause of bone breakage and hip fractures, which can lead to complications and permanent disability or death. More than 5 percent of all hospitalizations in people older than 65 years are due to fall-related injuries. Sadly, the research shows that in assisted living facilities where almost all residents are given low-salt diets, the rate of falls and fractures are three times as great as in the normal home environment.

Salt and life expectancy It is well documented that the Japanese and the Swiss enjoy some of the longest life expectancy rates of anyone in the world. It is less known however, that they also have among the highest rates of salt consumption.

A review of peer-reviewed medical research around the world indicates that if people were to actually consume the low levels of salt recommended in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, they would put their health at risk. Fortunately, most Americans - including the elderly - when left to their own choice consume salt within the healthy range.

Being overweight increases pain sensitivity The rotund tenor Luciano Pavarotti once said, “The reason fat people are happy is that their nerves are well protected.” As revered as he was, the Italian opera star was way off key when it came to being fat and happy.

As scientists from Ohio State University recently told colleagues at a meeting of the European Pain Federation, as you gain weight you become more pain-sensitive. It’s a result of the bodywide inflammation (cytokines) triggered by excess belly fat, aka visceral fat.

That disrupts your immune, respiratory and metabolic organ systems (and just about every other one), plus your gut biome. If you’re obese or overweight, those aches and pains are not all in your head.

A lot of problems start with what you eat; overweight folks who have a low-fiber diet (no whole grains, few vegetables or fruits) are particularly vulnerable. In plain English: The Five Food Felons (all added sugars and sugar syrups, all trans and saturated fats and any grain that isn’t 100 percent whole) can increase pain and inflammation. So if you’re overweight, clear those foods from your plate and start walking. Don’t feel discouraged: Exercise will become less painful the more you do it. Get your doc’s OK, a pair of good shoes and head out the door. Start with 15 minutes, increase by a few more steps every day -- never a few less -- with a targeted goal of 10,000 steps daily.

Less weight equals less pain.

The Fat Tenor has sung.

RESISTANCE IS MORE

Weekly health tips Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. and Dr. Michael Roizen, M.D.

THAN FUTILE When the Borg set its sights on a species for assimilation, they were warned, “Resistance is futile.” However in today’s world, bacteria’s resistance to life-saving antibiotics is anything but futile. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has declared that antibiotic resistance is one of North America’s top five health threats, sickening over 2 million and killing around 23,000 people every year.

Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria become used to seeing antibiotics and develop ways to protect themselves from those and related ones. The bacteria also spread the word to other bacteria, some of which cause serious infections. Then when you need an antibiotic to KO such an infection, the antibiotic can no longer do its job.

A major cause of this is the abundance of antibiotics in our food supply. According to a new report, Chain Reaction, put together by Consumers Union, Natural Resources Defense Council, Center for Food Safety and others, some chain restaurants are getting that message, and some aren’t.

They surveyed 25 chains, and only Panera and Chipotle earned an A, because they offered a variety of antibiotic-free meats. Chick-fil-A got a B (they’re pledging 100 percent antibiotic-free by 2019); Dunkin’ Donuts

and McDonald’s got Cs. Applebee’s, Arby’s, Burger King, Chili’s, Dairy Queen, Denny’s, Domino’s, IHOP, Jack in the Box, KFC, Little Caesars, Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse, Papa John’s Pizza, Pizza Hut, Sonic, Starbucks, Subway, Taco Bell and Wendy’s all took home Fs. Now, we aren’t saying that a passing grade means the food is generally healthy (way too often, your order is NOT), but it’s something important to consider.

DON’T MISS YOUR MISDIAGNOSIS In the 2014 movie “The Angriest Man in Brooklyn,” Henry Altmann (Robin Williams) was able to set his life straight after a doctor mistakenly told him he had 90 minutes to live. Unfortunately that’s not the case for the multitude of people who are misdiagnosed annually.

According to a new Institute of Medicine report, “failure to establish an accurate ... explanation of the patient’s health problem(s) or...communicate that explanation to the patient” is pretty widespread. Other studies have reported: On average 10 percent of post-mortem exams reveal diagnostic errors possibly affecting patient outcomes; among medical malpractice suits filed with one insurer, 9 percent of claims for misdiagnoses came from obstetrics, and 61 percent from pediatrics; and one study estimated that every year, 5

percent of adult outpatients experience a diagnostic error. Fortunately, it’s possible for you to help prevent diagnostic error.

1. Provide your doc with your medical history, including medications, supplements and herbs you take.

Check your medical records for errors and oversights; lab results can get overlooked, says the IOM. 2. Ask about any diagnosis, “Could it be something else?” and “What did you rule out?”

3. Get a second (or third) opinion. We strongly believe that anytime you’re told to do something -- from taking pills to P.T. -- for more than a couple of days, you should get a second opinion.

And remember, misdiagnosis can come as the good news you want to hear.

Sometimes it’s smart to double-check that you’re really OK. VACCINE AS TREATMENT: A GREAT NEW TWIST The use of vaccines to prevent disease dates back to around 1000 A.D., when the Chinese used smallpox material to inoculate folks against the scourge. Since then, scores of new disease-preventers have been developed; one of our latest vaccines blocks infection from some strains of HPV (human papilloma virus), which can lead to cervical, throat, anal and penile cancers.

But the powers of vaccines are expanding in amazing ways. Scientists are exploring therapeutic vaccines to treat already existing diseases such as HIV, Alzheimer’s, solid tumors, herpes and cervical cancer (the last two

are almost always associated with HPV). These vaccines use various approaches to force the immune system to recognize and then KO a disease. There’s already an approved therapeutic prostate cancer vaccine.

And, although the findings aren’t conclusive and seem highly individual, it appears that for some people, either temporarily or permanently, an HPV vaccine may banish HPV-associated warts.

The most recent report in the Journal of the American Medical Association says that for one otherwise healthy guy in his 60s, a quadrivalent HPV vaccine cleared his chronic battle with oral warts in three months, and the researchers found other reported successes as well. There are more than 150 strains of HPV, and the vaccine only contains four ... but that may be enough to prime the immune system against infections not found in the inoculation. It will take carefully designed clinical trials to determine exactly who might benefit. But the fact remains, for some folks it seems to help, and that’s intriguing news.

HEAL TENNIS ELBOW WITH SOME TIME OFF Roberta Vinci’s shocking victory over Serena Williams in the semifinals of the U.S. Open this year set up an all-Italian finale. That contest saw Vinci lose to 33-year-old Flavia Pennetta, who, after her victory, promptly retired. And Serena, after writing Flavia a nice tweet, also decided to just stay off the court (although she’s a long way from retirement), skipping the China Open in Beijing and the

WTA Finals in Singapore.

Sometimes it’s smart to put that racket down.

If you’re also thinking about taking some time off from your tennis game (or some other arm-stressing activity) this winter because you have tennis elbow, that’s a good idea. A new study from the University of Oslo in Norway found that 75 percent of folks who took three to six months of time off, ended up in significantly better shape than those who got a cortisone injection to relive their elbow inflammation. Six to 12 weeks eased the distress for around 66 percent of those in the study.

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, triggers pain on the outside of your upper forearm, just below the bend of the elbow. It’s a repetitive-use injury and can come from many activities, including gardening and golf. Only you and your doc can determine the best treatment for you (after looking at an MRI). Just remember, there’s a good chance that sufficient rest, gentle massage, ice (for 20 minutes three times a day at least) and anti-inflammatory meds can get you back to your favorite activity right in time for spring. *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

Iowa Utilities Board reminds consumers about heating assistance program Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program applications will be accepted from Nov. 1 through April 30.

■

DES MOINES — As winter heating season approaches, Iowa Utilities Board reminds utility customers about the application period for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), the weatherization assistance program and Iowa’s winter heating disconnection moratorium, which is Nov. 1 through April 1.

Iowa law and Board rules require households qualifying for LIHEAP and weatherization assistance are protected from natural gas or electric service disconnection during the moratorium.

Eligibility for both programs is based on household size and income.

Heating assistance funds are limited, and LIHEAP applications will be accepted from households on a first come, first served basis at their local Community Action Agency (CAA) from Nov. 1 through April 30.

Households with disabled or elderly persons, age 60plus, were allowed to apply for pre-certification starting on Oct. 1. Consumers may also contact their local util-

ity or Iowa Utilities Board Customer Service toll-free at 1-877-565-4450 for assistance.

While qualified customers cannot be disconnected during the moratorium, the Board urges all LIHEAP and Weatherization certified customers to continue paying toward their energy bills through the winter to avoid accumulating high debt and facing potential utility service disconnection when the moratorium ends in the spring.

Customers who are not certified for heating assistance may receive a 30-day stay from natural gas or electric service disconnection during the moratorium by notifying their utility that they will be applying for either program. However, those customers must then apply and be certified or be subject to disconnection. Other customers not qualified for LIHEAP or Weatherization Assistance may be disconnected for failure to pay utility bills during the winter moratorium.

Annual fall burns benefit wildlife The Iowa Department of Natural Resources plans to conduct prescribed burns on select wildlife areas in Ringgold, Union, Decatur, Adair and Adams counties between October and December to improve wildlife habitat, control invasive plant species and restore and maintain native plant communities.

Ground nesting birds such as pheasants, mallards, bobolinks, dickcissels and many others benefit from habitat improved with periodic prescribed fire. Burning removes the accumulated thatch and reinvigorates native plants by simulating what occurred naturally for centuries.

Areas are typically burned every one to five years and vary in size from 10 to 1,000 acres or more. Burns are conducted on days that meet objectives and weather guidelines defined in the burn plan.

For questions or concerns about prescribed burns, contact Josh Rusk with the Iowa DNR’s Wildlife Bureau Grand River Unit, at 641783-2166.

Idaho agency finds historic footage of parachuting beavers BOISE, Idaho (AP) — More than half a century after a group of beavers parachuted into the Idaho backcountry, officials have uncovered footage of the quirky wildlife management moment.

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game was struggling with an overpopulation of beavers in some regions in the 1940s when wildlife managers settled on a novel idea.

They captured beavers and other furry rodents, packed them into special travel boxes, attached parachutes and dropped them from a plane into the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.

Animal lovers, take heart — it appears all the beavers made it through their flying adventures unharmed.

The film made around 1950 and dubbed “Fur for the Future” showed the infamous beaver drops, but it had long been lost, Boise State Public Radio reported Thursday.

Trapping and transplanting beavers still happens today — but in less dramatic fashion.

“We haven’t done airplane drops for 50-plus years, but it apparently worked pretty well back then to re-establish them in remote places,” said Steve Nadeau, Fish and Game’s statewide fur bearer manager.

Thank You On August 2, 2015 a devastating tornado destroyed several buildings and removed part of the roof on the home at the Pashek farm outside of Creston, Iowa. Trees, crops, some cattle and much of the history at the farm of Doris Pashek were destroyed.

Although more than two months have passed since that storm, time has not diminished our appreciation for the efforts extended to us by our wonderful friends, neighbors, and relatives as well as kind-hearted strangers who assisted in the immediate cleanup of the property after the devastation. Much of the work could not have been accomplished without the aid of the heavy equipment and tractors which were voluntarily brought in to help with the job. Many hours of hard labor and an untold amount of elbow grease were volunteered to help us in our time of need. Many, many folks and businesses brought food to the farm for the family and the workers that day and the days that followed.

Now, after these two and a half months the Pashek family has returned to some semblance of normality, we express our heart-felt thanks with sincere gratitude to all of the wonderful people who so unselfishly came to our aid. Thanks to each and every one of you.

Three Panthers advance to state McDermott becomes 4-time qualifier

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

GLENWOOD — The Creston cross country teams made history yet again here Thursday at a Class 3A State Qualifying Meet.

Seniors Cooper McDermott and Jessica Beatty, along with junior Ben Irr all qualified for next weekend’s State Cross Country Meet at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course in Fort Dodge by placing in the top 15 of their respective races.

For Beatty and Irr, its the first time either of them has qualified for state as an individual. Irr previously qualified as a member of Creston’s 2013 boys team that made it to state.

McDermott, meanwhile, qualified for the state meet as an individual for the fourth time in his career — three times as a Panther after qualifying in Class 4A his freshman year at Newton.

He also became Creston’s first State Qualifying Meet individual champion, winning the boys race

Thursday in 16:41.47, two seconds ahead of Dallas Center-Grimes’ Alex Thompson.

The three individual qualifiers ties the school record for most individual qualifiers in a single season, and now gives the Panthers 21 individual qualifiers in the past 16 years.

“Very proud moment for everyone who ran there,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “We said, let’s make special things happen.

And special things did happen. Not ashamed to say, it

does bring a coach to tears.”

Four-timer

McDermott settled into the middle of the lead pack early in the race, opting to let other runners do the bulk of the work on the course that winded back and forth across several terraces.

By the mile mark, McDermott had worked his way up from about eighth into the top three.

He slowly roped in Winterset’s Curtis Harryman, who led for much of the early portion of the race.

“It was nice that the Win-

terset kid went out and pushed it,” McDermott said.

“That helped my race a lot.”

Eventually, Winterset’s Derek Koster assumed the lead and McDermott ran on his shoulder until 400 meters to go, when he left the Winterset harrier behind.

But the Panther senior had to hold off one final challenge from Thompson, who closed to within two seconds in the final stretch.

“Down here on the corner, I kind of glanced back and heard people yelling,” McDermott said. “That

DC-G kid was coming.

That’s when I knew I had to get rolling. It’s fun to finish like that, to just finish out with a good kick.”

McDermott becomes Creston’s third four-time individual qualifier, joining Paul Hoff in the late 1980s and Maria Mostek, who became the first Panther girl to accomplish the feat last year.

“This puts Cooper in rarefied air,” Schlapia said.

Nodaway Valley, Panorama win 1A team titles Wolverine runners sweep individual titles at 1A meet

By LARRY PETERSON

challenger was 16th-ranked Wilson of Exira/Elk Horn-Kimballton, second in 16:48.77.

“At the beginning I was a little challenged in the first 200, 300 meters,” Breheny said. “I just kept pushing as hard as I could and I got out front where I wanted to be.

Nobody likes how I set the pace.

Coach says there is a mental barrier, after you get out so far in front, they quit trying to pass you.”

Funke turned in his best state qualifying placing in fifth.

“We needed Brayten today,” Burmeister said. “He looked good today and stayed up there the entire race.”

Burmeister projects both Breheny and Scar as top five runners at the state meet. Breheny and Scar both said they’re shooting for first place.

The 1A girls race will begin at 2 p.m. at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course north of Fort Dodge. The 1A boys race follows at 2:30.

Lenox’s Bolinger went out early with the leaders and held on for his state qualification in 14th.

“He likes to go out that way, and he had his best time of the year today,” Lenox coach Tom Smith said. “It was a pack at the end for those last spots. He had to compete for that. I think he had a little breathing room with the 16th, but it was a battle.”

TREYNOR — Top-ranked Nodaway Valley placed all five scoring runners among the 15 individual qualifiers at the Class 1A State Qualifying Meet here Thursday on the hills of Treynor Recreation Area.

Nodaway Valley ran away with the boys team title with 35 points.

Fourteenth-ranked Boyer Valley was a distant second with 103 points.

No. 15 Tri-Center nosed out 10th-ranked Panorama for the third and final state-qualifying spot. Both scored 134 points. The tiebreaker went to T-C based on sixth runner Jake Wohlers holding a 12-second margin over Panorama’s sixth runner.

Nodaway Valley’s Shane Breheny took control of the boys race early and cruised to victory in 16:37.85. Evan Wilson of Exira/ Elk Horn-Kimballton was second in 16:48.77.

Other Wolverines among the top 15 individuals were Brayten Funke, fifth in 16:56.23; Heath Downing eighth in 17:02.49; Brycen Wallace 11th in 17:04.68; and Nate Venteicher 15th in 17:06.52.

“That was a goal we had,” said Venteicher, caught in a pack of runners trying to snare that final state-qualifying spot. He beat Justin Thomas of Logan-Magnolia, 16th in 17:09.33.

“Coming off Venteicher that last hill, it was a battle,” Venteicher said.

“We wanted to do it like this.”

“That was what we were pushing for,” Breheny said. “We all push each other and coach B pushes us.”

Coach Darrell Burmeister said he saw evidence at last week’s Ron Landphair Invitational in Mount Ayr that his team could live up to its No. 1 billing next week at the

Girls race

Unranked Emma Harper of East Union (right) runs past 23rd-ranked Payton Sporrer of IKM-Manning for fourth place in the Class 1A State Qualifying Meet Thursday at Treynor. Harper earned her third trip to state in a time of 20:32.58.

state meet.

“That was the first time this year I thought they would win state,” Burmeister said. “They really raced the entire race and brought it all in really strong. I thought they looked good again today.

It was hard not to run Matthew Dickinson (injured) today, but I thought Dallas Kreager ran a good race. All along I thought 18:10 from that position would push placings at state, and he ran close to that today.”

Skyler Rawlings was sixth on the team Thursday, placing 25th in 17:44.90. Burmeister said he’d evaluate practice next week on Dickinson’s status.

State qualifiers

Other state qualifiers from the area were girls individual winner Destiny Scar of Nodaway Valley and fourth place Emma Harper of East Union; and 14th-place Jacob Bolinger of Lenox in the boys race.

Southwest Valley’s balanced girls team, with four runners plac-

PANTHERS:

BOWLING: vidual achievement.”

Continued from page 1S

“Cooper ran with a purpose from the get-go. The main thing was to qualify, but getting that first place gold is the icing on the cake for that young man.”

Irr maintained contact with McDermott through the early part of the race, hanging right with his teammate for the first mile.

The Panther junior found himself bouncing around the 12th, 13th and 14th spots in the race for much of the second half of the race.

“That whole last loop, I had to find another level and not stop,” he said. “I got 14th and people were just a couple of seconds behind me. It’s a great feeling once you’re done.”

Irr finished 14th in 17:12.65 to earn his first individual state meet qualification. He finished 11th at the State Qualifying Meet as a freshman, when only the top 10 individuals qualified.

“Here’s a kid who just missed out qualifying as a freshman and last year, in an injury-plagued season, finished 61st at the State Qualifying Meet,” Schlapia said.

“That was quite a jump up.

That shows you what grit and determination does.”

“It feels amazing,” Irr said.

“Even though we made it as a team (in 2013), it’s not quite the same. It feels like an indi-

Hard work

Beatty, meanwhile, provides an example of what hard work can do for a runner.

Schlapia noted that Beatty’s previous State Qualifying Meet finishes were 56th as a freshman, 49th as a sophomore and 43rd as a junior.

But Thursday, Beatty punched her ticket to the state meet by finishing 15th in 20:51.18, claiming the final qualifying spot.

“I don’t t h i n k I’ve ever worked so hard for anything, so it really feels good,” Be- Beatty atty said.

T h e Panther senior was in 16th and 17th place for much of the second half of the race.

With 400 meters to go, Beatty moved into 15th place and put a 6-second gap on Atlantic’s Ashley Wendt in those final 400 meters.

Beatty momentarily moved up into 14th, but Perry’s Grace Stewart caught her again just before the finish line.

“She’s jumped up all the way with her hard work,” Schlapia said. “She’s made herself into a state qualifier.

From the very first practice this year, she’s been tough as nails. When you’ve seen the improvements she’s made

through the years, she makes a person feel very proud.”

Consistent training throughout the summer, even when she didn’t feel like, turned Beatty into a state qualifier.

“I ran a lot this summer.

Not necessarily an abundance of miles, but I just made sure I went out and ran every day,” she said. “Some days it was really hard to motivate myself to go out and run, but I just made sure I went out and ran at least a little bit.”

The Panther girls team finished eighth out of 12 teams with 195 points, just two back of ADM for seventh place.

Dallas Center-Grimes, Harlan and Denison-Schleswig claimed the three team qualifying spots.

On the boys side, Creston finished ninth out of 12 teams with 209 points, four back of Saydel and six back of Denison-Schleswig. Dallas Center-Grimes, Winterset and Harlan took the three team qualifying spots.

Seniors Madison Hance and Amber Castillo ran their final races in a Panther uniform on Thursday.

“We wanted to make sure we went out with a bang,” Schlapia said. “We set a lot of PRs. We appreciate their leadership. That was a good way for a lot of them to end the season on a high note.”

ENTERTAINMENT Kids need some labeling Dear Heloise: I have enjoyed your column AND totally agree with the writer who warned against PERSONALIZING BACKPACKS for schoolchildren.

However, it is important to put a label inside items, such as jackets and lunchboxes. I teach at a K-6 school. Children misplace items on the playground, in the gym, in the library, etc., and if there is no name inside, it goes into the lost and found.

Each year, we send many jackets to our local charity because they are never claimed.

It only takes a minute and would be most helpful. — Margaret. J., via email Margaret, good advice, and thanks so much for writing.

Some parents may be uncomfortable putting the full name (not sure why, it’s on the inside). They can use first name, last name, an initial or just initials on the tag. If a child misplaces something (GEE, that never happens, does it?), check the lost and found!

Don’t assume it is lost forever and go buy a new one. You may find things from a while ago in there, too.

Many schools donate unclaimed items to charity after a while. Maybe you could start a jacket-donation box for families to put outgrown jackets in

In the glove compartment I kept extra napkins (left over from restaurants), rubber bands, chip clips for leftover snacks, a few sandwich bags for partially eaten snacks, hand sanitizer and wipes, and some bandages.

I took my own pillow, and inside the pillowcase I stashed a few plastic hangers. I do not like wooden ones in hotels, and there never seems to be enough. — Jo B. in New York Great road-trip hints. Hangers? Call housekeeping for more, and tip them a dollar or

two — they deserve it! — Heloise CAR KEYS AND MESSY KIDS Dear Heloise: I enjoy reading your column in The Columbian newspaper in Washington. Here are my hints: If you must place something on the roof of your car, place your car keys there, also. You will be very unlikely to drive off with the items on the roof.

Children can be very animated. When serving them beverages, avoid tall glasses (plastic or otherwise). They are more likely to be knocked over and spilled than a cup or glass with a low profile. — Rod W., Ocean Park, Wash.

Rod, both very good hints!

This is soluble in water. I didn’t realize and filled the pot with dirt, put in the plant and watered it.

All of the pieces melted. The cellulose type is great for the environment, but is not useful in pots. — Lilith in Ventura, Calif. (c)2015 by King Features BLONDIE® by Dean Young Syndicate Inc.
