MUSICAL CYCLONES Tradition for Lenox family begins with father, carries on through children ■

By COURTNEY DAKE CNA newsroom assistant cdake@crestonnews.com

Three Barkers — Todd, Drew and Sydney — of Lenox took the field as part of the Iowa State University marching band Oct. 11 during homecoming.

Todd, a trumpet player in the marching band from 1980-83, marched in the alumni band; his son Drew, a fifth-year senior at ISU majoring in instrumental music education, performed as drum major; and daughter Sydney, an ISU freshman majoring in instrumental music education, played cymbals in the drumline.

Todd’s tradition of participating in the ISU alumni marching band began in 1984 after his graduation from Iowa State. He marched in the halftime show with the alumni band every year until his oldest son, Nathan, became involved in marching band and football at Lenox High School.

After taking six years off, daughters Katie and Sydney encouraged him to rejoin the alumni band.

He returned to the band the fall of Drew’s freshman year in 2010.

This Homecoming marked his 25th appearance.

“It’s fun for one thing,” Todd said about returning to perform in the alumni marching band. “I was in marching band all four years, and I developed a group of friends, and this is kind of our reunion. ... It’s been a thrill to be a part of

a big group like that.”

Todd also takes part because it’s an opportunity for him to support the university. He said the alumni band acts as “band parents” and helps support the ISU marching band with a fund to help with whatever the band needs, including new band uniforms or lunches for game days.

Drum major Drew began his marching band career at ISU in the trombone section, and worked his way up to be a line guide. His sophomore year he decided to try out for drum major because it seemed like a good step up in leadership. He didn’t achieve the position of drum major until his fourth year. Drew felt relief when he finally got the honor.

“I was happy,” Drew said. “I kind of expected to

This week, students and staff at Southwestern Community College bring awareness during Alcohol Awareness Week.

On Monday, Iowa State Troopers provided students with a computer-controlled drunk driving simulator to demonstrate the dangers of driving while under the influence of alcohol. On Tuesday, the message continued to spread at a SWCC volleyball game as students and staff passed out Lifesavers candies to raise alcohol awareness.

But, students were in for a real

scare Thursday as law enforcement and emergency personnel responded to a mock episode of alcohol poisoning, unknown to students, at an on-campus tailgate event during the Alcohol Awareness Week Campus Crawl.

As students were playing games, eating appetizers, drinking root beer and visiting with one another, a commotion surrounding a nearby vehicle started to capture the crowds attention.

Soon after, emergency lights lit the scene.

Students gathered around as emergency personnel attended to a student acting as a victim of alcohol poisoning. Once the attention of the crowd was captured,

Southwestern Community College simulates real-life scenarios to bring awareness during Alcohol Awareness Week. GRMC paramedic speaks with students about the health concerns of consuming alcohol.

■

Paramedic Casey Larson from Greater Regional Medical Center spoke with students about the health concerns of consuming alcohol, how the body metabolizes different types and amounts of alcohol and warned students about how long it actually takes to become sober.

Larson also shared his experience of responding to a suspected OWI crash site where a victim crawled through the sunroof of the vehicle and rolled to a nearby house because she was unable to walk or crawl because of broken limbs.

20, 1928, in Adair County.

Betty was raised and attended country school in Adair County. She graduated from Greenfield High School and received her Bachelor of Arts degree from University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colo.

Betty taught elementary school for many years. She taught in several different states including California, Wyoming, Utah and Iowa.

Later in life, Betty moved back to Iowa and lived with her parents, then lived several years in Adams County and at Greenfield Rehabilitation and Health Care Center.

Betty is survived by her sisters, Carole Young of Allen, Texas, and Ramona Duskin of Portland, Ore.; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Betty was preceded in death by her parents, sister Norma Geesman and brother Don Lane.

On June 24, 1961, she married Dan William Cunning in the Congregational Christian Church in Ames. Since 1963, they have lived in Mount Ayr. Judy was very active with Moon Lighters, Ringgold Singers and the Princess Theater. She sang at many events from weddings to funerals to state competition with the Bill Riley Talent Contest at the Iowa State Fair. She was choir director at First Christian Church and at the United Baptist Presbyterian Church. She taught Sunday school as well.

get it. I thought I had the experience necessary to get it. I felt pretty confident.”

For regular season games, game day schedule for a drum major begins at 5 a.m. to prepare for the day ahead. The marching band rehearses 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Monday through Friday. A new show is prepared every week.

“We (ISU marching band) never perform the same show in front of a home crowd,” Drew said.

Sometimes Drew is lead conductor and other times he has to follow the lead of another drum major.

“The first game of every year, it’s an adrenaline rush,” Drew said. “After the first couple of games, it’s routine. Think about tempo and lock in with the drumline.”

Drumline Sydney joined the ISU marching band this year.

Originally a saxophone player, Sydney took a

chance and tried out for drumline on cymbals.

“At our first meeting we have for rookies, they said they needed a few more people (for drumline),” Sydney said. “I just figured what the heck. I just tried it (cymbals), and they picked the fast learners. I got lucky.”

The drumline performs at more than just halftime of ISU football games. The group has traveled to Decorah and Cedar Rapids.

“I kinda like it (drumline) better,” Sydney said. “It’s something new. Visuals are fun to do.”

The hype cheer is her favorite routine to learn. This has some basic movement and drill that shows off each section of the drumline.

“They (the cymbals) get pretty heavy. In the long run I like it a lot. I know I want to stick with drumline for sure,” she said.

It took some adjusting for Sydney to see her brother in the role of drum major.

Matt Carr, Creston Police officer, explained the legal repercussions of underage drinking and some of the consequence underage drinkers could face — suspension of driver’s license, fines, mandatory drunk driving courses and jail time.

“It was really exciting,” said Rachel Christensen,

student ambassador. “Nobody really know what was going on.”

After the first scene, ambassadors lead students to two other locations on campus where mock alcohol-related incidents took place — a mock sexual assault during a party in the dorms and a drug bust during a dance at the student center.

Christensen said, at the

dance scene, one student had fake drugs planted on them police used a drug sniffing dog to demonstrate how they can find that.

“It was really an eye opener to see it all acted out instead of just hearing a lecture,” Christensen said.

Christensen said it was important for the students to see the scenarios acted

nice when they go down, not up.”

Haner said applying for the business property tax credit is easy. It works just like the homestead tax credit for homeowners.

“You only have to sign up once,” Haner said. “You’ll get the credit every year after that.”

Haner said the sign-up process takes less than one minute in most cases with owners needing to provide a phone

number, signature and date.

Haner said property owners have until March 15, 2015, to sign up for this credit.

Haner said the tax cuts under SF295 are not expected to hurt local governments financially because the state has promised to backfill money to those entities.

For more information or questions about the credit, contact Haner at 641-7821735.

More about Senate File 295: Last year, the bill was approved 43-6 in the Iowa

Senate and 84-13 in the House. Gov. Terry Branstad then signed the bill in June 2013.

cial because all three musicians were on the field at the same time.

“That is something I’d been looking forward to ever since I became drum major,” Drew said.

“I thought that would be pretty cool.”

“Getting to play with my dad was pretty cool,” Sydney said. “I’m excited for years to come when we all get to play together again.”

Todd remembers the alumni band was established in the fall of 1980, his freshman year.

“Here I am on the field, and I’m thinking back to that time in 1980,” Todd said. “I would have never imagined that I would be back with my kids in band with me.”

And when it came to performing with his children, Todd said, “That was really cool.”

Candy cache Dear Readers: HALLOWEEN is almost here, and many of you will have some candy left over. Unless you are going to eat it all at once, here are some hints to store it for a nibble later on: (There are several go-to types of candy handed out at Halloween, and each has a slightly different storage hint and time.)

• Hard candies, like lollipops, can last up to a year.

• Dark chocolate (which I love and, when on sale, really stock up on!) can last longer than a year or so, even two years, so they say. It must be wrapped in foil and placed where it’s dark (no direct sunlight) and pretty cool.

• Milk and white chocolate have a shorter “life span” because the ingredients, which usually are milk solids, cocoa butter, sugar, etc., only keep for less than a year.

Store candy in a cool place, like the pantry or an out-ofthe-way cupboard. Don’t mix different types of candies, especially a hard candy with a soft one that may give off moisture. -- Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000

Horoscope Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today is a mixed bag with highs and lows. However, what you should know is that it’s a poor day to make important decisions about finances.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Enjoy schmoozing with others today, because both the Sun and Venus are opposite you. But lo! The Moon and Saturn are opposite you as well. Expect sunshine with scattered rain.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your focus is on your work today. The only problem is that this is a goofy day and you are not sufficiently motivated or energized to accomplish much.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a wonderful, creative day! Let your mind roam freely, because you will come up with original concepts. It’s a great day to schmooze and have fun!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your attention now turns to home and family. Because this is a friendly day, invite the gang over for pizza and beer.

(Or a chilled chardonnay and quiche.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Like Cancer, this is a creative day for you. In conversations with others, you will put a new spin on things. Enjoy impromptu visits with siblings and relatives.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a poor day for important financial decisions. It’s an equally poor day to spend money except for food, gas and entertainment. Tread water.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The Sun, the Moon, Saturn and Venus all are in your sign today.

“Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!” You will attract people to you. Postpone important decisions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You will work best if you work alone or behind the scenes today. (Although, you don’t feel like working.) Just get through this day, which is a bit goofy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Relations with others will be friendly and warm. People will welcome social interaction, because they don’t want to work today. It’s hard to be motivated.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Just be aware that personal

details about your private life might be made public today, especially in the eyes of authority figures -- parents, bosses, teachers and the police. Need to do some damage control?

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is the perfect day to do something different. You want to expand your horizons and have fun! Travel if possible, and don’t shop for anything except food and gas.

YOU BORN TODAY Your approach to life is dramatic and physical. You like to be in

control of your surroundings because this helps you to be dependable, which is important to you. Settle your debts this year, to prepare for financial accumulation in the next three years. (To clear away indebtedness is the thrust of this year.) Consolidate your affairs for future growth.

HEALTH

Why the next talk you have with your daughter should be about breast health (BPT) — While breast cancer awareness has greatly increased over the last two decades, a recent national survey found that women and families are not talking enough about breast health. Eighty-seven percent of women said they could talk to their daughters about anything, but less than half said they have actually talked with their daughters about breast cancer. A person’s most influential health role models come from within the family, so it’s important that families - mothers, daughters, sisters and aunts - start talking to each other more about breast health.

Simply being aware is not enough. According to the Ford Warriors in Pink breast cancer awareness and education program and the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, breast health conversations among families - particularly between mothers and daughters - can help loved ones understand their risk for the disease, learn preventive steps, ensure timely screening for early detection and ultimately save lives.

For many women the

obvious next questions are: How do I bring up this subject with my daughters?

What’s the right age to talk to them? What do I say?

Talking about your family’s health history isn’t easy for anyone. Discussing human anatomy - particularly a woman’s breasts - can be an awkward conversation for mothers and young daughters, according to Dr. Susan Love. For others, cultural stigma prevents them from speaking openly about their diagnosis.

When 51-year-old Marisol Rodriquez was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, she felt embarrassed to talk about it - even with her then-teenage daughter, Ariel. Marisol says her “proud Peruvian” heritage created a barrier to communication, resulting in her being very private during treatment. It wasn’t until she joined a breast cancer survivors’ dragon boat racing team three years later that she became more comfortable talking about her experience and sharing this with her daughter.

Only 50 percent of moth-

ers who have had a family member diagnosed with breast cancer have talked to their daughters about breast health, according to the survey commissioned by Ford Warriors in Pink. “Families need to become more comfortable talking about this with each other if people are going to continue to make strides in the battle against this disease,” says Love.

Now in its 20th year in the fight against breast cancer, Ford Warriors in Pink is encouraging families everywhere to talk about breast health and reminding women to encourage their daughters, no matter what age, to get to know their breasts.

Not because they might have cancer - but because breasts are an important part of their overall health and well-being. Having these important conversations are not about alarming people; it’s about empowering them. And recognizing every conversation will be different is important, especially when considering your daughter’s age and stage of life. By starting these conversations earlier, families can set the foundation and open the line of communication for later in life.

Today Marisol embraces her role as a mother and survivor by advocating for important health conversa-

tions as a Model of Courage for Ford Warriors in Pink.

Here are some conversation-starting tips that she follows from Dr. Love: • Recognize the conversation will need to be adapted depending on your daughter’s age and stage in life: Approaching breast health as part of the larger picture of overall health and wellness can make it an easier conversation starter, particularly for adolescent daughters.

• Emphasize the function - not just the form - of breasts: By teaching the importance of the breast as an organ, mothers can help young daughters understand why and how to take care of their body as a whole.

• Choose a casual setting: Sitting down at the dinner table may seem overly formal or intimidating. Instead, try starting a conversation in the car or somewhere a little more intimate. Research shows both mothers and daughters feel that the car is a comfortable place for important health conversations - the audience may be captive but there will be less pressure to stay on one top-

ic once the ride ends or the scenery changes.

• Use family get-togethers to more broadly explore your family’s health history and risk for breast cancer, highlighting its importance as a disease and as a conversation among loved ones.

Ford Warriors in Pink and Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation are just a few of the organizations that not only raise breast cancer awareness, but promote important preventive conversations about breast health. As part of its efforts to drive more breast health conversations, Ford Warriors in Pink is honoring its Models of Courage, who like Marisol, have embraced breast health as a family affair. Though there’s no cure yet for breast cancer, a simple conversation could lead to a timely screening that can save a life. And more, these conversations can help equip the next generation of women to feel more comfortable making breast health and breast cancer an everyday conversation and help continue to fuel the fight against breast cancer.

motivated). Plus, you may be missing a key ingredient for success: emotional support.

A recent analysis of many studies of overweight and obese folks with cardiovascular risk factors found that people were most able to lose weight and reduced their risk for heart attack and stroke when, backed up by friends and family, they received intensive behavioral counseling from dietitians, nutritionists, exercise professionals, health educators and/or psychologists.

Some studies saw a 42 percent to 58 percent decrease in the incidence of diabetes among folks getting such support.

So, get with your doc and your family, and put together a support team. Don’t forget to use the support and info online from www. doctoroz.com and www. sharecare.com. Talk with a nutritionist, diabetes educator, exercise coach and support groups. With a team, you can shift your shape for sure!

LOCO-MOTION (HOW TO TAME MOTION SICKNESS) Believe it or not, when Apple released its iOS7 for iPhones last year, the super-zoom function gave many users motion sickness! And boating, even on calm waters, is famous for causing seasickness. Charles Darwin, who sailed on the HMS Beagle for five years, never adjusted to the rocking motion. Interestingly, pregnant and menstruating women and migraine sufferers experience motion sickness more than others.

What triggers the nausea, vomiting and headache? No

one is positive, but it seems to happen when your body’s system for maintaining balance and posture, which relies on the brain to integrate sensory info from the inner ear, your eyes, muscle reactions and touch, is disrupted. Conflicting information from immediate and distant surroundings (in a moving car, one is relatively stationary, while the other changes rapidly) and your constant if imperceptible sway as you try to maintain a stable posture, conspire to make you feel sick.

“Just make it stop!” you say? Antihistamines and scopolamine can help. But ask your doc before you try motion-sickness meds; some aren’t good for kids, pregnant women or folks on other drugs. Other solutions? Try lying down, closing your eyes, staring at the far horizon or sitting in the front seat of a car or bus and over the wing of an aircraft.

Acupressure also may help: Try pressing on the indentation between the earlobe and the angle of the jawbone or the spot three finger widths below the heel of your hand in the center of your arm between the tendons. *** 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.

New marijuana facts With clever names like Peace of Mind, Girl Scout Cookies, Train Wreck and Tsunami, it’s a good bet that the marketers of legal marijuana finished high school.

That’s less certain for their younger customers. New research shows daily marijuana use before the age of 17 cuts your chances of graduating from high school or getting a college degree by 60 percent. And that info’s just the tip of the joint. Now that marijuana is legal for recreational use in Washington and Colorado, and for medical purposes in 19 other states plus the District of Columbia, scientists are able to study the drug more closely. The result is an outpouring of data on marijuana’s formerly unknown or underappreciated risks.

One new study found that 40 percent of cannabis-using adolescents receiving treatment for substance abuse report symptoms of withdrawal -- a true marker for drug dependence (addiction). And kids are eight times more likely to use illicit drugs later in life if they smoke marijuana regularly.

Another study found that adolescents who smoke pot daily shed an average of six IQ points by adulthood; points you’re not getting back, and that can mean the difference between an engaged, rewarding life and not!

So just because the drug is legal in some places, doesn’t mean it’s smart to use it.

Like Derek Jeter says: “If you have dreams and aspirations to be successful, drugs and alcohol are only going to alter those dreams.

productive to do with your time.”

MUSCLE MAGIC Teddy Roosevelt was a Rough Rider in the Spanish-American War, but he was a 90-pound weakling as a youngster, suffering from asthma, gastroenteritis, fevers and general failure to thrive ...UNTIL a doctor and his father told him he had to start exercising.

From age 12 to 17 he challenged himself daily, pumping iron and boxing, and he overcame his life-threatening health problems.

Teddy worked out, and his life worked out pretty well! You need to get (and stay) pumped up, too.

Around age 30, muscle mass starts declining. That’s especially true if you, like 79 percent of North Americans, are sedentary. And even if you’re active, you’re going to need to push it to overcome an age-related, muscle-defeating decline in hormones (growth hormone, testosterone, insulin-like growth factor) and protein synthesis. Losing muscle mass makes you vulnerable to everything from obesity to falls.

The good news? You can increase your strength 25 percent to 30 percent, and add over two pounds of muscle (that’s a lot!) in around 18 weeks with progressive resistance training.

To start, use your own body weight as resistance. Three days a week, do exercises like push-ups and sit-ups

or yoga, tai chi and Pilates.

Dr. Mike’s Cleveland Clinic suggests you choose eight exercises and do 10-12 reps of each. Then graduate to resistance bands or 1-2 pound hand weights. About every two weeks, increase your number of reps (up to 12) or speed and/or weight.

As Teddy Roosevelt said, “The best prize life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.”

SPORTS VARIETY HELPS KIDS AVOID REPETITIVE USE INJURIES Not long ago, seasonal athletics gave kids the option of participating in several different sports over the course of a school year.

One athlete who knew that was the smart way to play it was baseball Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson. He was the first athlete in UCLA history to letter in four different sports in one year (track, basketball, football and baseball!).

These days, that’s nearly impossible. Many coaches claim that the only way for a kid to develop into a starter on a varsity team is to be dedicated to only one sport and make a commitment to year-long training. Ironically, that might just make it impossible for your child to play any varsity sport.

Here’s why: Young athletes who specialize in one sport run a 40 percent higher risk of a repetitive or overuse injury, such as stress fracture

or tendon damage. Growth plates, areas of developing cartilage, as well as bones, ligaments and tendons, all mature at different rates. So while some parts of the arm might be strong enough for pitching regularly, the elbow joint might not be. Repetitive stress can cause it to develop abnormally and permanently interfere with functioning.

So, if you want your budding athlete to enjoy sports all through school -- and as an adult -- keep her or him safe from overuse injuries.

Limit practice time; change up positions played; make sure your child plays more than one sport every year; take breaks between sports; and make sure fun comes first!

YOUR HEALTH EFFORTS NEED PROPER SUPPORT When “Deep Space Nine’s” Odo learned how to shape-shift from protoplasm to homo sapiens, he discovered that being able to control his form was essential to his well-being.

Great sci-fi, but humanoids aren’t so different.

If you’re one of the 29 million North American adults with diabetes, 79 million with prediabetes, 32 million with elevated total cholesterol, 78 million with high blood pressure or 157 million who are overweight or obese, chances are you’re struggling to get into shape and you’d like to have a better sense of well-being, too.

What derails you, humanoid? Chances are it’s a combo of frustration (your diet and exercise routines aren’t effective), stress (you use food as a soother) and depression (it’s hard to stay

Senate candidate cancels on Iowa newspaper editors DES MOINES (AP) — Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst has canceled a meeting with The Des Moines Register’s editorial board, saying Ernst her time was better spent campaigning in Iowa.

Editors at the newspaper said Ernst’s campaign notified them Wednesday night that she wouldn’t attend the Thursday meeting. Publisher Rick Green said he was disappointed.

“Undecided voters I talk to want Sen. Ernst to break through the rhetoric and cacophony of campaign ads about hogs, Obamacare and balanced budgets. It’s a time for sharing specifics,” Green said in a statement.

Ernst, a state lawmaker and lieutenant colonel in the Iowa National Guard, is locked in a tight race against Democratic U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley. She said she was focused on talking to voters.

“I have got a tight schedule,” Ernst said before a campaign event Thursday.

“What I need to do is really reach out to undecided voters. So we decided we’re going to drive on and get out to those counties and make sure I’m connecting with actual people one on one.”

Ernst spokeswoman Gretchen Hamel issued a statement saying the Register’s recent editorials make the newspaper’s position “perfectly clear.” The paper, which endorsed Ernst in the five-way Republican

primary, has run several editorial pieces criticizing Ernst’s policy positions.

Ernst has met with editors at Nebraska’s Omaha World-Herald, whose readership extends into western Iowa, and at the Sioux City Journal. The Cedar Rapids Gazette endorsed Braley on Sunday and wrote that Ernst did not find time to meet with their editorial board. Editors in the Quad Cities and Dubuque said they have thus far unsuccessfully sought meetings.

Hamel said the campaign may still find time for the other papers.

Braley’s spokesman says the congressman has accepted all editorial board invitations.

Iowa man charged in theft of ginseng plants DUBUQUE (AP) — An Iowa man is charged with illegally taking 134 ginseng plants from a state preserve.

The plant has significant value and is typically sold in Asia, where it’s used as a natural medicine, the Dubuque Telegraph Herald reported. Nate Johnson, a conservation officer with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, said ginseng usually sells for up to $1,200 per pound during a dry year.

Allan W. Gates of Central City is set to appear in Dubuque District Court next month to face charges of one count of fourth-degree theft, 134 counts of harvesting ginseng in a state preserve, 106 counts of failure to retain entire ginseng plant while in the field and 12 counts of taking ginseng plants under the legal size.

The district court clerk’s office said records don’t show an attorney for Gates.

Conservation officers with the state’s natural resources department say they saw Gates, 53, last month carrying a bag and shovel while walking out from the White Pine Hollow State Preserve.

According to a criminal complaint, Gates told officers he was out for a walk but allegedly later admitted to digging up the ginseng.

Officers found he had 134 plants in his bag.

Johnson said people often pick wild ginseng illegally, but it’s hard to catch them in the act.

“They’re very sophisticated in how they sneak in,” Johnson said. “They will have someone drop them off, so we can’t see a parked car, or they can boat up a river to a wooded area.”

Key Iowa regents want 3rd straight tuition freeze IOWA CITY (AP) — The governing board of Iowa’s three public universities will vote on a plan that would freeze tuition rates for in-state undergraduates for the third straight year, key members said Thursday.

In a surprise, three members of the Iowa Board of Regents announced they would support a freeze instead of a proposal unveiled last week to raise tuition rates by 1.75 percent, or $116 per student.

The nine-member board will vote on the plan in December. Leaders said they would spend the coming weeks studying how tuition rates for students from other states and graduate students should be set.

Board President Bruce Rastetter said the

tuition freeze should be possible as a result of the “significant savings” the universities are expected to see from a cost-cutting initiative. He cautioned, however, that lawmakers and Gov. Terry Branstad needed to support the universities’ request for state funding increases next year to make it possible.

With backing from lawmakers, the board froze tuition rates for the current and prior school years for the first time since the 1970s.

Branstad, whose appointees run the board, has touted that as a historic achievement that has helped keep college affordable. Tuition and mandatory fees cost $8,079 this year at the University of Iowa and slightly less at the other two schools.

Regent Larry McKibben, a former Republican lawmaker and Marshalltown attorney, said Thursday the state’s efforts weren’t good enough because Iowa’s graduates still have the sixth-highest debt levels in the nation. He announced he would push for the freeze even after some student leaders told the board they could support a modest increase.

McKibben said he had heard from other middle- and low-income families who are struggling to get their kids through college.

He said the proposed tuition increase was small but nonetheless unacceptable.

“It’s a slippery slope. You start it as a little one. Then next year we have more needs.

And a little one becomes a bigger one. We’ve all been through that process,” he said.

Rastetter and Regent Ruth Harkin, the wife of outgoing Democratic U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, said they would also support the freeze. Other regents didn’t immediately take a public position.

The proposed increase in tuition and mandatory fees was expected to generate $14.5 million in new revenue for the universities and make up for the cost of inflation.

Board members said they wanted more information on plans to increase mandatory fees, with some saying a $68 bump for University of Northern Iowa students was too high.

Panthers send three to state NV’s ‘Black Plague’ cruises to state

PERRY — There’s a new queen of Creston cross country, and her name is Maria Mostek.

Mostek, Cooper McDermott and Jay Wolfe all punched their tickets to next weekend’s State Cross Country Meet in Fort Dodge at the Class 3A State Qualifying Meet here on Thursday.

In doing so, Mostek became Creston’s first female individual to qualify for the state meet four times.

“I’ve been stressing about it all week,” Mostek said.

“Just crossing that finish line was awesome. It felt great.”

History Aside from Mostek making history, the Panthers also hit a pair of other milestones.

This marks the second

straight year Creston has sent three individual qualifiers to the state meet — the most in a single season.

With the three qualifiers this year, the Panthers have had 18 individual qualifiers in the past 15 years.

But, Creston had never had a four-time female individual qualifier — until Thursday.

“Talk about coming through in pressure,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “People don’t realize what this girl has accomplished. People don’t realize how tough it is to qualify once for state cross country.

Let alone twice, three times.

And here this young lady qualified for state all four years in high school. She’s the first female to do it all four years, and we’ve had a lot of fine girls go through Creston cross country.”

Mostek survived the muddy conditions, and stacked

field, to place seventh with her time of 15:35.43.

The top 10 individuals and top three teams in both the boys and girls races qualify for the state meet.

Mostek said her strategy was to stay within contact of Atlantic’s Tiffany Williams for as long as possible.

“I knew if I could stay with her to that first mile marker and stay in contact with her throughout the race, I knew I’d be in a good spot,” Mostek said. “For the most part, I felt like I executed it pretty well.”

The Panther senior moved around between the sixth and eighth positions during much of the race, before sprinting past Winterset’s Layken Gurwell in the final 300 meters.

PANORA — Nodaway Valley’s boys cross country team is back in familiar territory.

The Wolverine “Black Plague” squad finished in a tight pack once again at the Class 1A State Qualifying Meet Thursday at Panorama West Golf Course, earning its first trip to state since 2010. Third-ranked Nodaway Valley dominated the field with the second-lowest score of the day in 1A, 48 points, to easily outdistance 10th-ranked Tri-Center (109) and No. 8 St. Albert (113).

Just nosed out of one of the three state-qualifying spots with 116 points was unranked Oakland Riverside and No. 9 Odgen, tied with Panorama with 121 points. Ironically, last year Nodaway Valley missed a state spot by three points behind Riverside.

Odgen had the top two finishers, just in front of

Nodaway Valley sophomore Shane Breheny, but had only one other runner in the top 45.

This will be Nodaway Valley’s 11th boys team to compete at state, while the program has also sent 12 girls teams under coach Darrell Burmeister. In a 19-year stretch starting with Kate Olesen in 1996, Burmeister has had either individual or team qualifiers — or both — without interruption.

This year’s boys squad of all underclassmen has to rank with the most balanced of any of them, as all seven runners finished in the top 36 of the 157-runner field.

Breheny was third in 17:50.24 on the wet, slick course covering a wooded area and the Panorama West Golf Course.

Freshman Brycen Wallace was second on the team for the first time this season, also earning state individual qualification in seventh place in 18:31.13.

Just missing the top 10

were junior Nate Venteicher, 11th in 18:37.18, and 12th-place sophomore Brayten Funke in 18:39.94.

Battling a foot injury, junior Heath Downing gritted out an 18th-place finish in 19:15.38.

“We had four in the top 12 and Heath in there at 18th, so the guys did a good job,” Burmeister said. “It’s been since 2010 for us to get back as a team. This is a special group. They’ve been undefeated all season.

Now we just need to get Heath healthy.”

The undefeated Nodaway Valley boys cross country team coached by Darrell Burmeister and David Swanson became the school’s 11th boys state qualifying team by dominating the Class 1A meet at Panora Thursday with 48 points. Tri-Center was second with 109. The Wolverines go to state Nov. 1 as the state’s third-ranked Class 1A team.

Harper returns to state; injury trips up Scar

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

PANORA — One was just relieved to have “survived” the treacherous conditions.

The other was heartbroken, slowed by a lingering injury.

Elite area girls cross country runners Emma Harper of East Union and Destiny Scar of Nodaway Valley had battled all season throughout southwest Iowa. But when the Class 1A State Qualifying Meet was over here Thursday, only one was making a return trip to the state meet on Nov. 1.

Harper ran eighth in 16:52.87 to snag one of the 10 individual state qualifying positions. Scar had to settle for 15th place in 17:24.58, fading

from ninth place about two miles into the race.

Scar’s stamina has taken a hit since aggravating a stress fracture in her lower leg about three weeks ago, and has been limited to running five miles a week along with some cross training and swimming pool workouts.

“It’s disappointing,” said Scar, who placed eighth at state last year as a sophomore in her second trip to Fort Dodge. “But I just haven’t been able to run enough.”

“She only ran one meet in the last two weeks, and that was the Pride of Iowa,” Nodaway Valley coach Darrell Burmeister said. “She did a good job there as runner-up to Emma. She’s been training in the water and biking, but the therapist said only

five miles of running a week.

That’s pretty tough. Today she was ninth coming out of the woods, but you could tell she was starting to tire and some of the other girls were looking fresher. It wasn’t from lack of effort. It was just a matter of conditioning, and pain in her leg.”

Burmeister said time off before the spring track season should give Scar a chance to get back to full speed.

Harper, meanwhile, came into Thursday’s meet knowing that earning a repeat trip to state wouldn’t be easy in a loaded field, topped by threetime state champion Rebekah Topham of Griswold, who won Thursday by 57 seconds.

Three other ranked runners were in the 1A race, led by 10th-ranked Karley

Harper earned her second trip to state by placing eighth in 16:52.87. Scar, battling complications from a previous stress fracture injury, missed her third trip to state by placing 15th in 17:24.58. Sporrer missed by one spot of going to state, taking 11th in 17:11.62.

Harper avoided the pitfalls of the competitive field and the mud created by overnight rains to take eighth

in 16:52.87. In doing so she earned a return trip to state, where she ran 17th as a freshman.

“I was going to try for the top five,” Harper said, “but I

stretch, and 25th ranked Andrew Stumbo caught him at the finish for second. Last year he was an individual qualifier as runner-up.

“Shane always goes out fast, that’s what he wants to do,” Burmeister said.

“Coming out of the woods he was in first place. But Trey Thompson is ranked fifth in the state and the other Ogden kid is a ranked kid as well and just got him at the end.”

“I was on the pace that I wanted,” Breheny said. “I just slowed down too much in the last mile. There was a lot of mud out there.

When we started on this

first turn, I saw several people go down in front of me.”

Breheny has high hopes for the Nov. 1 state meet at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course north of Fort Dodge. The Class 1A boys race is at 2:30 p.m.

Harper made up some ground in the last mile of the race, sitting in a pack of four runners in ninth through 12th along with Scar coming out of a treacherous trip through the woods, with tight turns on greasy footing from the rain. It continually got worse after the two Class 2A races preceded the 1A competition.

“That corner at the start, as you go down the hill there’s a sharp turn, it was completely mud and a lot of girls fell down right in front of me there,” Harper said.

Perhaps from struggling to stay upright on the slick areas, Harper started to collapse short of the finish line and coach Rich Bryson, standing about 100 yards up the course, was concerned at first that she had made it.

Harper said the last 50 yards was a matter of willpower.

“When we got to that last stretch and a girl started to pass me, I just felt I was going to drop,” Harper said. “I lost all of my energy. I saw the finish line and I just thought, ‘You gotta make it there!

Keep going!’ I stumbled about 50 yards from the finish line.”

Harper stayed on her feet just long enough.

“I got there, and I had to lunge to get to the line, because I would have fallen right in front to it,” Harper said. “I don’t think I’ve ever felt that ‘I’m gonna fall’ kind of feeling

before.”

“It’s a killer course just to try to stay up,” Bryson said.

“Kids were talking about going down all over the place.

We saw this mud at Chariton, but not the hills. If nothing else, she survived! Today the times weren’t that good, but between the mud and terrain, that’s to be expected. She has a goal of top 10 at state.”

The Class 1A girls race is 2 p.m. Nov. 1 at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course north of Fort Dodge.

Alyssa Proffitt was unable to finish for the Eagles with an injury, which affected the team score. The Eagles ended up 11th with 300 points, one spot behind Southwest Valley at 288. Mount Ayr and Bedford took 16th and 17th in the 19-team field.

Three ranked teams snagged the state qualifying spots led by No. 7 Griswold at 74, three points in front of sixth-ranked Panorama. No. 11 Underwood took third with 118 points.

Griswold’s Topham ran 15:20.57 on her quest to win a fourth state title. Teammate Alyx Flippin was sixth.

Mount Ayr’s Adrian Richards, a two-time state qualifier, was slowed by a lingering foot injury and ran 33rd in 18:54.30, one spot behind Bedford’s Charissa Mogler.

PANTHERS: Continued from page 1S

the past several weeks, beat ranked runners Gurwell and Dominique Fleming of Winterset.

“For some reason, she hasn’t been ranked in the top 30 in the state the last two weeks, but people she’s beaten have been,” Schlapia said. “Figure that out. She beat the Fleming girl for the sixth time this season, who was ranked.”

Boys repeat McDermott and Wolfe also earned repeat trips to the state meet.

For McDermott, it will be his third time running in the state meet, having competed in Class 4A for Newton as a freshman and last year with the Panthers. Wolfe is now a two-time qualifier.

McDermott took third in 16:49.66 and Wolfe finished fourth in 17:03.86, behind Gilbert’s duo of Wesley Greder and Thomas Pollard in 16:30.85 and 16:31.10.

“We kind of wanted to break away from a big pack (early), because we knew we had to get in that top 10,” Wolfe said about the start.

“We knew if we could b r e a k away with Wolfe the elite runners, we’d be in a good spot toward the end.”

Both McDermott and Wolfe methodically moved their way up throughout the race, after running in a pack early.

“It was nice we got loosened up a little bit and got in a groove,” McDermott said. “I was feeling good. I think Jay and I both were feeling good. He did a nice job. I think we did our jobs

today.”

Schlapia said he was glad to see his two frontrunners not panic early, instead biding their time before moving up through the crowd.

“They kept their heads about them,” he said. “They were patient with it and they ran their race. Cooper wasn’t that far off those (Gilbert) guys. The main thing was just to qualify.

They ran very solid on that course.”

McDermott and Wolfe felt the pressure of running in Thursday’s State Qualifying Meet.

“There’s definitely a little bit of pressure on this race,” McDermott said. “It’s not the biggest one, but you’ve got to make sure you get the job done and get in. We did that today.”

Raegen Smith finished 58th and 60th, respectively.

On the boys side, Gilbert made it a sweep of the team championships with 36 points. Algona took second with 59 points and Dallas Center-Grimes finished third with 72 points. Creston finished sixth with 178 points.

Brant Hudson ran 19:13.05 for 51st place, with Nick Walsh in 59th at 19:46.30. Ben Irr rounded out the team scoring with a 61st-place finish. Isaac Wignall ran 65th and Kyle Jennett finished 66th.

“Seniors Maddie Skarda, Raegen Smith, Kyle Jennett and Brant Hudson, they finished their high school careers in fine fashion,

showing a lot of leadership,” Schlapia said. “We had fantastic crowd support there today. We really appreciated that.”

State meet Creston now turns its attention to the Nov. 1 State Cross Country Meet at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course in Fort Dodge.

“The biggest goal is to just run a PR and try to crack the top 10,” McDermott said. “Run your own race and whatever happens, happens.

I think we’re going to run McDermott a nice race

up there.”

The Class 3A girls race will begin at 12 p.m. on Nov. 1, with the Class 3A boys race scheduled for 12:30 p.m.
