Weaver Nathan Hamilton, owner of new rug business Thrums Up, threads his nearly century-old loom in his store, located at 114 N. Maple St. in Creston.

As Nathan Hamilton details the chronological steps of weaving, he threads his nearly century-old loom in his new studio in Creston.

“No one ever showed me how to do this,” he said. “Everything I’ve done I’ve figured out on my own. I don’t know if it’s right or not, but it works for me. And to me, it’s fascinating.”

The 67-year-old first became interested in weaving around age 12 on a vacation in Mount Pleasant.

“I saw somebody weaving and I thought, ‘Well, that’s just fascinating as all get out.’ About 20 years later, I had a chance to buy a loom,” said Hamilton of Creston.

After graduating from Lenox High School and attending a couple years of college, Hamilton entered the workforce before graduating college. Over the years, he worked in construction, floral design, at the Creston Livestock Auction cafe and started a business in the 1980s with his ex-wife, Robin, called Ruggedly Yours.

During that time, former magazine Country America featured the couple’s handmade-rug business in an article.

“The Judds were on the front, and we were the centerfold,” Hamilton said.

But back then, it wasn’t a good time to run a rug business because people still liked wall-to-wall carpet.

“When we separated, I gave her all the looms and everything and walked away from it in the early ‘90s,” he said.

“Then, a few years ago, I had a chance to buy a loom, and I thought, ‘You know, I never really liked the way we ran our other business. I’m going to do it the way I want to do it.’”

They used to use entirely white wool and dye the colors.

Now on his own, Hamilton has become interested in a different technique: cutting up wool blankets of various colors and patterns and weaving them into rugs. He decided to launch a new weaving business using this concept, Thrums Up, located at 114 N. Maple St. in Creston, where he sells wool rugs made from blankets, denim rugs, upholstery rugs and antique furniture.

“This year, I started marketing out at the farmers markets, and the response was so good that I said, ‘OK, if I’m going to do anything, let’s do it now.’ I rented this building, and here we are,” Hamilton said. “Right now, everybody’s into tile, hardwood,

“NO ONE ever showed me how to do this. Everything I’ve done I’ve figured out on my own. I don’t know if it’s right or not, but it works for me. And to me, it’s fascinating.”

things like that, which rugs just work great on.”

Before deciding to open a store, Hamilton sold rugs during Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days and at shows in Mount Pleasant and Creston.

He has sold about 50 rugs in the past year.

He also asked Rex and Lois Daub, owners of Windy Acres Antiques on Jaguar Avenue, to sell some of his rugs.

“I liked the quality and I thought maybe I had a market for some. They sold,” Lois said. “And, my daughter has sold some of his rugs in Kansas City when she had a booth there.”

Shortly after that, Hamilton decided RUGS | 2A

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa school districts are holding more than $145 million in their accounts, but superintendents say restrictions on that money is making it hard to spend.

The money in dozens of different funds has grown since 2013 when the total was about $130 million, the Des Moines Register reported, so school officials are lobbying for more flexibility.

Iowa State Board of Education member Mary Ellen Miller says the legislature should consider loosening the restrictions on this money.

“It doesn’t make much sense to have this money

sitting in banks around the state,” Miller said.

But some lawmakers say the districts should just spend the money for the purpose it was intended.

“It’s there for a purpose, it needs to be used for the purpose — not sitting on it,” said Brian Schoenjahn, D-Arlington, chairman of the Senate subcommittee that governs education spending.

State data shows that about half of the state’s 338 school districts had at least one fund with a balance of more than $50,000 at the end of the 2014-15 school SCHOOLS | 2A

Judge issues order banning guns in north Iowa courts CHARLES CITY (AP) — A judge has issued an administrative order banning guns and other weapons in and around judicial offices in north Iowa courthouses.

The Globe Gazette reports Second Judicial District chief judge Kurt Wilke gave the order Oct. 12. The ban covers the district’s 22 counties.

Areas where weapons are prohibited include courtrooms, jury rooms, clerks’ offices, judges’ chambers, court reporter offices, juvenile court offices, judicial administrative offices, as

well as hallways, lobbies and conference rooms.

Law enforcement and court officers are exempt from the ban, which is based on security recommendations by the Iowa State Association of Counties and the Iowa Judicial Council.

Iowa Firearms Coalition Board Member Richard Rogers says he understands the security concerns, but believes the order overreaches when it prohibits citizens from carrying weapons in public areas outside of court venues.

On Sept. 24, 1950, Mary Frances married John King in Macksburg. Mary Frances was a homemaker, later working as a secretary for an insurance agency and construction business before retiring from bookkeeping at Easters Grocery Store in Creston.

She was a member of Macksburg United Methodist Church.

Pipeline provides boost to Iowa businesses

CHEROKEE (AP) — Businesses in northwest Iowa are getting a boost when construction workers building the Dakota Access oil pipeline arrive in town.

Cherokee city manager Sam Kooiker tells the Sioux City Journal the difference is clear downtown in the evenings when few parking spots are available.

“The impact is significant,” Kooiker said. “As a community, it’s been a net positive.”

The 1,200-mile pipeline is designed to carry crude oil from North Dakota to Illinois. It has drawn opposition from people worried about potential effects on drinking water and tribal land, but the Energy Transfer Partners project is about 75 percent complete.

It’s hard to put an exact figure on the economic benefits, but Mark Buschkamp with the Cherokee Area Economic Development Corp. says it’s apparent at area businesses.

“When I drive in in the morning, I see all the construction rigs parked in hotel parking lots,” he said.

“Our hotels are full. I see a lot of people in lines at the grocery store that I’ve never seen before.”

Lyon County Economic Development Director Steve Simons said that even without concrete figures, he knows businesses in the area saw a boost when pipeline workers arrived, especially in Inwood near the pipeline route.

“They did see a nice bump in business during the construction process,” he said.

In Buena Vista County, pipeline workers set up camp during construction.

“I know our campground is full. I know a lot of those people, when they come off of work, are in our restaurants and bars,” said Gary Lalone, executive director of Storm Lake United, a business development organization.

The city of Cherokee is considering leaving its Spring Lake Park campground open this winter to accommodate pipeline workers who have filled the campground’s 46 spots for most of the summer and fall.

The campers pay either $15 a night or $320 a month.

he was busy enough to start a business. The name, Thrums Up, arose from his love for weaving and appreciation for puns.

“Thrum is a weaving term,” he said. “When you make a rug, there’s a certain amount you can’t use because it just won’t go any farther. That’s called a thrum. What a lot of people do with them is they’ll start their next rugs with that thrum.”

Wool rugs Hamilton’s wool rugs start as blankets. He purchases old blankets – some that still have a price tag on them and others that are worn.

“I like to find blankets that are a little bit shot – maybe a moth hole here and there – so people don’t want to use them for blankets anymore, and then I don’t feel so bad tearing them up,” he said. “I use a lot of military blankets.

One I have right now is a Navy blanket probably from the ‘40s or ‘50s. Another was made in Australia in 1944.”

He takes a blanket, tears it into strips, measures the strips and then decides what type of pattern he wants to make.

“Once I figure out how I’m going to do it, I sew the strips back together and get all the strips I can get on a shuttle at one time, and then I hand-stitch those pieces together and keep it continuous,” he said.

He then dresses the loom.

“You have to wind all the thread on, do it 24 threads at a time. There’s 24 threads for every two inches,” Hamilton said. “Then, you thread it through, tie it off, and then you’re ready to weave.

Weaving is the very last step of all this other stuff just to

year, and 26 districts had more than $1 million unspent when all their restricted funds were combined.

In Davenport, the district’s preschool fund has grown from nearly $660,000 in 2013 to $900,000 partly because the money is earmarked for half-day preschool.

Superintendent Art Tate said his district has been having trouble attracting enough families to half-day programs, but the money won’t pay for full-day preschool. The district has cut about $14 million from its budget over the past five years while the preschool money sits unused.

In Sioux City a training account grew to more than $1.1 million.

Three handwoven, patterned, wool rugs hang from a wall at new rug business Thrums Up on North Maple Street in Creston.

get there.”

Depending on the size of the rug, it may take a day or two to complete.

“Sometimes they work up really well; sometimes they fight you, for whatever reason,” Hamilton said. “If I push really, really hard, I might get two and a half rugs done a day.”

While his loom was made in the 1920s or ‘30s, he has worked on looms nearly 300 years old.

“Weaving hasn’t changed since they invented it thousands of years ago,” Hamilton said. “I eventually want to be able to make 5-foot rugs, and if I can find (a loom) big enough, even up to 9 feet,” Hamilton said. “That way, I’d be able to do rugs from 18 inches to 9 feet.”

The best part of making wool rugs using patterned blankets is not knowing exactly what the pattern on the finished rug will look like, Hamilton said.

“This one right here was a surprise,” he said, pointing to a wool rug. “When I started, all the pieces were roughly the same length.

“It’s hard, during the school year, to get subs to cover teachers,” district spokeswoman Alison Benson said.

Some education officials say lawmakers should allow the districts to spend 10 to 20 percent of the earmarked money without restriction.

“Having all these moneys in restrictive (funds) — it’s becoming stifling,” said Galen Howsare, chief financial officer for the Iowa Association of School Boards.

Other lawmakers and Iowa’s teachers union question that approach.

Dipping into categorical funding to compensate for inadequate increases in general school funding doesn’t solve the underlying issue, and is akin to “stealing from Peter to pay Paul,” union lobbyist Brad Hudson said. “We’re not interested in that.”

When you sew them together alternately, you know it’s going to make a pattern because the same width going back and forth all the time is going to do something.

But, I didn’t know it was going to do anything like this. ... I thought it was going to make a diagonal across, but it didn’t. It came out looking really nice, though.”

Denim and upholstery rugs In contrast to wool rugs, Hamilton said blue-jean rugs are simple to make, and people tend to enjoy them because “they wear forever.”

He also makes rugs using upholstery fabric.

“You can do anything to those rugs you could to your upholstery – spot clean them, throw them in a washing machine, whatever you want to do, and they come out looking great,” he said.

“The colors never fade.”

even two of Hamilton’s rugs are the same.

“It’s instead of having something that everybody else can get by going to Bed, Bath & Beyond or one of those places. Yeah, they’ve got rugs, but there’s 10,000 of them,” he said. “If you get one of mine, you’re never going to find another one like it.”

Hamilton makes custom rugs ranging in width from 18 to 48 inches. The length is whatever a customer desires. Cost is from $8 to $10 per square foot. The smallest rug costs about $32 and the most expensive is about $350.

“He has a way about putting colors together that are unique,” Lois said. “The quality is very good.”

In store, there are rugs and blankets for sale, as well as pieces of antique furniture. The store is now open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday with a grand opening slated for November.

How to treat your ‘treaters’ Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND ON is related to the “sweets day” at the end of this month. While there are many people who don’t care for Halloween, it’s nonetheless a time that many children look forward to with great anticipation!

For those of you who welcome “treaters,” consider these points: * Don’t hand out any homemade edibles. While it’s a good gesture on your part, conscientious parents won’t let their children consume them unless they know you. * Keep your area welllit, replacing any burnt-out bulbs. * Remove any items in their path that may cause them to trip or fall. * If you prefer not to give candy, consider giving out stickers, erasers, pencils or anything you can find in bulk that children might enjoy getting.

With that said, from Halloween on, it’s only 3 1/2 weeks until Thanksgiving, and eight weeks until Christmas! – Heloise

Hints from Heloise candy that you can give to children during the evening of Oct. 31: * Mini modeling-dough containers. * A mix of inexpensive Halloween-themed plastic glow-in-the-dark toys. * Themed pencils and/or mini notepads and stickers.

Rather than strain your eyes, please call the store or ask an employee, and they’ll be happy to help!

“Not having the type of couch or chair to tuck my toes under to help keep my legs down, my little toddler volunteered her services.

Now, at exercise time, she sits on my feet and helps me count my 25 situps.

Horoscope For Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)You might develop a crush on someone who is different, exotic or from another culture or a different country. Be careful, because this very likely is an unstable situation.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Despite your good intentions of helping someone else today, be careful. You have to be realistic and consider your own needs as well. There is such a thing as “idiot compassion.”

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Don’t expect too much from a friend or partner today.

If you do, you likely will be disappointed.

Remember: Unexpressed expectations almost always lead to disappointment.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Co-workers might be supportive today; nevertheless, their assistance might hinder you more than it helps you. Use caution!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Romantic relationships are unstable today. Some might end and others might begin, but they’re really just a pipe dream. (It’s sad but true.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might go overboard with your ideas about redecorating today. To be safe, wait a day or two to see if you still want to go ahead with your plans.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might spend a lot of time today daydreaming or lost in fantasies. This makes it hard to concentrate and focus. Oh well - we all need a mental-health day every now and then.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to make important financial decisions, because your mind is a bit fuzzy and full of wishful thinking. Be careful, and remain realistic.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Relations with others are a bit unstable today.

Instead of dealing with what is, you are more inclined to deal with how you wish things would be. Keep your feet on the ground.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Something going on behind the scenes might confuse you today. In fact, this confusion could create problems in a relationship.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Don’t expect too much from others today, especially a

friend or a member of a group.

Many people are full of unrealistic demands today, which only leads to problems.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be realistic when it comes to your relationships with bosses and authority figures today, even though you might feel great admiration for someone.

You might even have a crush.

(This likely is a passing feeling.)

YOU BORN TODAY You are strong-willed, loyal and persuasive. You also are disciplined and organized. By 2017,

matters you’ve been involved with for the past nine or 10 years will diminish, because it is time to make room for something new. Although 2017 will be a year of service to others, it also will be a great year to travel. Get ready for a fresh, new cycle waiting in your future!

Creston/O-M, Lenox find out opponents

n

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Creston/Orient-Macksburg and Lenox have both found out who their opponents will be in the opening round of the prep football playoffs.

The pairing were announced Saturday morning.

The Panthers (8-1) will host Boone (7-2) Friday at Panther Field.

It’s a rematch of week one when the Panthers defeated the Toreadors 28-7.

The winner will face off against either Norwalk (81) or Webster City (8-1) on Nov. 4.

Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison noted it is an advantage to see the Toreadors again.

“It definitely is,” Morrison said.

The Panthers will see an improved Toreadors team.

“That being said, we watched the last three games on them and they’re a better football team than they were in week one and they should be.”

The Toreadors h a v e avoided costly injuries.

“We’ll see the same kids Morrison we saw in week one,” Morrison said.

Morrison was surprised at getting a home game in the playoffs coming off a week nine loss at Carroll.

Still, playing at home will be a boost for the Panthers.

“It’s good having the home game,” Morrison said.

“It’s great. We couldn’t ask for anything better as far as being at home for the first game against a really good

Boone team.”

Playing in front of the home crowd one more time will benefit the Panthers.

“It’s big for our team,” Morrison said. “It’s a chance for our kids to stay home and have one shot to play in front of the home crowd.

“Playing at home in the playoffs is big no matter what the situation is.”

Lenox at Fremont-Mills Lenox (6-3) travels to Eight-player top-ranked Fremont-Mills (9-0).

The winner faces either Exira/Elk Horn-Kimbalton (6-3) or Bedford (8-1) on Nov. 4.

Lenox coach Matt Malausky had an idea of what was coming thanks to volunteer assistant coach Todd Parrish.

“One of our volunteer assistant coaches texted me at one in the morning with all of the playoff spots,” Malausky said. “You never know what the state’s going

to do and he got it verbatim.”

Like Creston/Orient-Macksburg and Boone, Lenox and Fremont-Mills is also a rematch of week one.

The Knights won 42-0 in Tabor.

Facing the top-ranked Knights poses a stiff challenge for an injury-riddled Tigers team.

“Anybody in the state would not want to face the number one team in the state in the first round, especially when you have as many injuries as we do,” Malausky said.

Playing against Fremont-Mills is better than the alternative though.

“We’re thankful,” Malausky said. “We could be sitting at home. We’re one of only 16 teams in the state still playing. We’ll look to give them everything we’ve got.”

Fremont-Mills has steamrolled every opponent so far this season. The Knights’ closest game was 50-21 win

over Exira/Elk Horn-Kimbalton.

The Knights’ 42 points scored against the Tigers was the fewest Fremont-Mills has scored this season.

“They’re the same team we played and even better,” Malausky said.

The Knights bring plenty of weapons to the table, led by quarterback Mason Vanatta.

“They have so many skill positions,” Malausky s a i d .

“Their quarterback is ac- Malausky curate and not only is he accurate, but he’s good on his feet. He possesses a lot of problems.

If we cover, then he’s free to run. We’ll definitely have our work cut out for us.”

Kickoff for all playoff games in the first round is 7 p.m.

Tigers on the prowl, claim district title n Creston/ O-M still in playoffs as district runner-up

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

CARROLL — Dayton Ross torched the Creston/ Orient-Macksburg defense time and again in the Carroll Tigers’ 49-21 home win Friday.

The win gave the Tigers a Class 3A District 7 title and sent the visiting Panthers home in second place.

“You look at the first half and we gave up big chunks of plays for touchdowns,” Creston/O-M head coach Brian Morrison said. “We haven’t done that since the Harlan game and that was not good for us. I thought the third quarter we came out and responded. Fourth quarter we just didn’t have enough guns in the fight.”

On Saturday, the Panthers found out that the loss did not keep them from be-

ing granted a home game to start the playoffs. Creston/O-M will once again host Boone, a squad that it defeated in its season opener, 28-7. The two will play Friday at Panther Field at 7:00 p.m.

The winner will face off against the victor of the game between Webster City and Norwalk on Nov. 4.

On the third offensive play from scrimmage, Ross caught a pass just past the first down marker, made Zach Carlson miss on a tackle, and evaded a trailing Panther defense the rest of the way for the score.

His 70-yard catch-and-run touchdown set the tone on the third play from scrimmage for the Tiger offense that scored on each of its first four possessions. Ross PANTHERS | 9A Contributed photo by TERRY FREEMAN

Creston/Orient-Macksburg senior Gavin Woods heads for the end zone after hauling in a 25-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter of the Panthers’ 49-21 loss to Carroll. The loss left the Panthers 8-1 and 6-1 in the district. Carroll took the Class 3A District 7 title.

Then the coaching staff retreated to see how games between Bedford and Stanton and East Union and Wayne were going.

If both Stanton and East Union lost, the second playoff spot would come down to a points tiebreaker.

There, the Tigers would be in good shape for the spot.

Nervously, they kept checking social media feeds on their phones, trying to gain any glimpse of information of what was going on in Stanton and Corydon.

Eventually, they found out the news they wanted to hear.

They were in the playoffs.

The players, coaches and patrons let out screams and cheers of joy knowing their season would go on for at least one more week.

“It was huge,” said Lenox coach Matt Malausky.

Loss elminates East Union from the playoffs n

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

CORYDON — East Union players lowered their heads after Friday’s game.

As they looked to co-coaches James Hardy and Craig Ditzler, the disappointment was evident.

Tears streamed down the faces of several players as Hardy and Ditzler talked to their team.

Hardy talked about the life lessons the team can learn: about how to pick yourself back up after disappoitnment, how to push on even when you are unable to reach a goal; how the team bought into what the coaches had asked of them all season long; how that committment and dedication to each other can serve them well in life beyond East Union football.

East Union junior Sanden Cheers holds his head down after the Eagles heartbreaking 48-26 loss at Wayne Friday in Eight-player District 6 play. The loss ended the Eagles season at 7-2.

The players made their way over to an area beyond the far sideline for what has become an East Union tradition.

Parents and fellow students embraced them, told them they loved and cared for them.

Still, it couldn’t take away the sting from the game and what it meant.

A strong season for East Union came to an end with a 48-26 loss to Wayne Friday.

Roadrunner speed too much for Raiders Mount Ayr’s season ends at 5-4 ■

By RYAN KRONBERG

CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Mount Ayr had a good start going to Friday’s Class 1A District 5 game against Interstate 35.

The Raiders drove down to the Roadrunners 10-yard line, but the drive stalled.

A field goal attempt missed and the Roadrunners took over.

Interstate 35 wasted little time capitalizing on its opportunity.

It set the tone for the rest of the game as Interstate 35 went on to a 27-12 victory in the season finale for both teams.

“We started off the game well,” said Mount Ayr cocoach Delwyn Showalter.

“We drove the ball down the field, but we didn’t get any points. Unfortunately that became a little bit of a pattern.”

The Raiders had another drive deep into Roadrunner territory that stalled.

“That becomes frustrating,” Showalter said. “You start to lose a little bit of confidence.

Interstate 35’s offense took advantage of the missed opportunities. A couple of plays after the missed field goal, Roadrunners running back Mason Cassidy raced 72 yards down the field for a touchdown and a 6-0 lead.

The Raiders had trouble slowing down Cassidy and quarterback Brayden Egli.

Cassidy rushed for 180 yards on 26 carries.

Cassidy’s shiftiness made him tough for the Raider defenders to tackle.

“He can start and stop and he hits the hole so hard.

He can change directions at full speed,” Showalter said.

“We knew he was going to be that type of a runner. We tried to prepare for it.”

The Raiders couldn’t effectively simulate Cassidy in practice.

“If we had somebody that could’ve mimicked him, we would’ve played him,” Showalter said. “It wasn’t for a lack of trying. He’s a tough one.”

They’re hardworking,” Showalter said. “They’re kids you’d be glad to take home and claim as your own. They were fun to be around in practice, in the weight room. They’re really solid people and gave you everything they had on the football field.”

For the rest of the team, they learned plenty on the field this season.

“Our guys learned a lot about the kind of effort it takes to compete at a high level,” Showalter said. “We had so many people that didn’t have the experience of being on the varsity field at the beginning of the game. It’s easy to come in when you’re leading by four or five scores. Anybody can come in and function in that situation. When the game’s starting 0-0 and the other team’s fresh and you’re getting their best shot, that’s a different situation all together. That takes a different kind of effort. They learned that.”

The Raiders did win two of three coming down the stretch, building momentum for next season.

Now they know what they need to do for next season, starting in offseason workouts.

“What the guys need to do is spend a lot of time in the weight room, in speed and agilities, and not just give the time and effort, but giving their all in those sessions,” Showalter said.

“Certainly the experience we picked up this year is going to be valuable.”

was they took care of their business and won.

“We didn’t play that well, but we played good enough to win,” Malausky said.

“That’s what mattered the most.”

Lenox needed every point it could get to edge Stanton in the tiebreaker.

The Tigers had the ball with 15 seconds left in the game. Malausky called a timeout to set up a scoring play.

Jared Hensley punched it into the end zone to give the

Creston News Advertiser | Monday, October 24, 2016

Tigers an eight point lead, 46-38.

Those extra six points proved to be the difference as Lenox edged Stanton by the slimmest of margins.

“If we did not score there on that play, we would be sitting home and Stanton would be in the playoffs,” Malausky said. “That’s how important that touchdown was.”

Malausky’s message to a battered team resonated all week.

“We kept telling the kids during practice that mathematically we’re not totally out of it,” he said. “If we take care of our end of business

we would have a shot.”

The Tigers fought throughout, eventually pulling out the win.

“It was ugly,” Malausky s a i d . “ W h a t a rollercoaster game this was.”

Hensley was a key reason Hensley why the Tigers pulled it out. He rushed for 112 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries.

He caught two passes for 111 yards and one touchdown.

Defensively, he had six

solo tackles and eight assists.

On special teams, he had 89 yards on four kickoff returns.

Tigers quarterback Carter Still filled in admirably for the injured Dawson Tullberg. Still rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns.

He threw for 126 yards and two touchdowns.

“Carter’s learning on the fly,” Malausky said. “He has grown up in the middle of the game. That’s really hard to do when the coaches are getting frustrated. He takes coaching really well.”

Still worked the option and passing game effectively.

“He did a really good job

of running the option,” Malausky said. “He did an excellent job of hanging in the pocket, throwing balls late.”

Still was under intense pressure from the Lamoni defense.

“They would bring the house on him,” Malausky said. “If I was them, I would do the same thing facing a young quarterback with one game.”

Sam Donaldson helped his quarterback out catching four passes for 77 yards and one touchdown.

Defensively, Colton Hogan had five solo tackles, six assists and an interception.

Drew Venteicher had seven

solos and five assists. Derek Venteicher had four solos, five assists, one tackle for loss and one sack. Jeremy Daye had two solos and seven assists.

Now Lenox has a date with Fremont-Mills in the opening round of the Eight-player playoffs Friday in Tabor.

Fremont-Mills, top-ranked in Eight-player, won the first matchup 42-0 in week one.

The Tigers are ready for the rematch “It’s really big for us to be able to qualify,” Malausky said. “It’s been quite the rollercoaster ride for us.”

Offensive shortcomings too much for Wolverines to overcome in loss Nodaway Valley finishes at 1-8

n

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

MARTENSDALE — Early shortcomings from the offense snowballed for Nodaway Valley Friday.

The Wolverine offense struggled to get much going and then the Martensdale-St. Marys offense clicked enough to pull out a 41-6 win Friday in Class A District 7.

“We’d get a couple of stops and then we couldn’t do anything,”

said Nodaway Valley coach Steve Shantz. “It was very frustrating.”

Martensdale-St. Marys jumped out to a 14-0 lead. Nodaway Valley cut the lead to 14-6.

The Blue Devils scored late in the first half to increase the lead.

On the ensuing kickoff, the Blue Devils pooch kicked it. The Wolverines couldn’t handle it and the Blue Devils recovered. Martensdale-St. Marys scored right before halftime to land the knockout punch.

“They go up for two scores in the last four minutes. That demoralized us,” Shantz said.

Nodaway Valley’s offense stalled in the second half.

“We couldn’t get anything go-

ing,” Shantz said. “We did move the ball at times, but we had some big mistakes, some fumbles, got in bad position.”

Shantz felt Shantz bad for his five seniors.

“It was a disappointing way to end it for our seniors,” Shantz said.

“It was a disappointing way to see them go out.”

Season Review — Nodaway Valley finishes the season 1-8 overall and 1-6 in Class A District 7.

The Wolverines say farewell

to five seniors — Jared Corder, Dylan Larsen, Ryan Baudler and Josh Allsup.

“Josh Allsup is one tough kid. I felt bad for him. He was basically playing on one shoulder the last two weeks. He gave everything he got,” Shantz said. “Ryan Baudler was a two-year starter. We didn’t have a starting center. He was our best option there. He really improved on the defense line. He moved out to defense end. He’s a big boy. He works his tail off.

We’re going to miss him. Jared Corder is a great athlete who can do some things in space.”

The Wolverines improvement starts with a better offseason in the weight room.

“We’ve got to get our summer workouts going,” Shantz said.

“Our summer workouts were not very good. In camp, we had guys thought they could take time off.

Maybe it was the numbers. We have to change that around next year. We’ve got to get some pride back in the program. It’s not just showing up on day one and get the job done.”

Shantz noted some are already asking about offseason conditioning workouts.

“We’re glad that they want to give that time,” Shantz said.

“We’ll give them some time off in between seasons. They need a little recouperation time before next season.”

Bryant, Baez and other young Cubs critical in title chase CHICAGO (AP) — Kris Bryant says he gets chills every time the fans at Wrigley Field shower him with “MVP!” chants.

The 24-year-old just doesn’t show it — a common trait among his young teammates. If anything can overwhelm these kid Cubbies, they haven’t faced it yet.

Bryant was one of five players 24 or younger in the starting lineup for the Cubs during Game 6 of the NL Championship Series, and

that group is showing maturity beyond its years. Keep this up, and they could give Chicago a party generations in the making.

Bryant has already established himself as one of the game’s top power hitters.

Javier Baez (23 years old) made one spectacular play after another in the infield while winning NLCS coMVP. Addison Russell (22) is an All-Star shortstop with power and Gold Glove aspirations. Catcher Willson Contreras (24) and outfield-

Cleveland Indians in the World Series with a chance to end the sport’s longest title drought.

If Chicago’s youngsters feel any jitters before Game 1 on Tuesday night in Cleveland, don’t expect to see them.

“Our young players are playing like they’re 32-yearold veterans,” 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta said. “It’s just fun

to watch. I get to play one out of every five days, but to really see the way our guys go about taking care of business makes me really appreciate the guys I’m able to play with.”

Bryant and the other burgeoning Cubs helped Chicago lead the majors with 103 wins in the regular season, and it’s been more of the same in October. After pulling out 14 victories in their

final at-bat during the regular season, the Cubs did it twice against San Francisco in the NL Division Series, then rallied from a 2-1 series deficit to beat the Dodgers.

Veterans like Jon Lester have done their part, but the younger players have had plenty of pivotal moments, too.

None more so than Baez, a breakout star this postseason.

A few plays later, Chase Shiltz stretched across the goal line to finish an 11-yard run to make it a two score game again at 35-21.

“We still had a shot in the third quarter to rebound,” Morrison said. “I thought in the fourth quarter we still had a shot. We were within two touchdowns, we had the ball. Their defense came up with big plays and stopped us. That was the football game at that point.”

After Woods recovered an onside kick, the Panthers were not able to muster a drive and chose to punt.

from Ethan Rummel and Ross respectively to go up two scores at the half.

Dylan Millermon capped off the scoring at the end of the night with an 80-yard run late in the fourth after the Panthers had already ceded the game.

Shiltz ended the night with 95 yards and two scores on 21 carries.

After picking up a first down on a screen pass late in the fourth, he went out of the game with a knee injury.

Both were listed as day-today by Morrison.

“I know we’re banged up.

They got after us,” Morrison said.

Now, the only thing for Creston/O-M to do is look ahead. The plan doesn’t change for the Panthers.

“They exploited us, no doubt about it.”

Both squads traded punches early in the game. Ross’ first touchdown was countered by a 65-yard drive that ended in a 25-yard touchdown pass from Shiltz to Gavin Woods.

Fewer than three-minutes later, Ross hauled in his second touchdown. This one was of the 40-yard variety and came on a long heave from Kolby Molinsky on third-and-5. It gave the Tigers a 14-7 lead.

The Panthers followed that with a 63-yard drive, and Shiltz capped it off again, this time with a hard-earned 11-yard run on the first play of the second quarter.

“It’s fourth-and-15, we got ourselves in a situation where, we do something.

Get a stop and have field position. We don’t want to not punt and give them field position and the game’s over.

That’s pretty much what it boiled down to.”

The Tigers mounted a 95yard drive to go up 42-21 and effectively clinch the game.

A 23-yard Ross run put the Tigers in the red zone, and shortly thereafter, a Zach Promes’ 10-yard touchdown catch was the play that made it a three-score game.

Zach Carlson went out with an apparent head injury in the third quarter.

“We were missing Carlson, we were missing some key defensive players,” Morrison said.

EAGLES: CONT. FROM | 6A

Combined with Stanton’s loss and Lenox’s win, the chase for the second playoff spot in Eight-player District 6 came down to points. Lenox came out on top, with Stanton finishing third and East Union fourth.

“It’s a hard loss to take,” Hardy said. “It’s hard to swallow a game like this.”

For the eight seniors — Gabe Nixon, Chris Case, Ryan Collins, Mason Gossman, Alex Brown, Harley Baumfalk and Kessler Tomas — it was particularly painful knowing their careers ended in Corydon in the regular season and not in the playoffs.

“You feel for the seniors,” Hardy said.

The loss was particularly painful knowing what slipped out of the Eagles’ grasp. The pain showed how much this season meant to the players.

“It says something about their investment in the program, the importance of how they bought in,” Hardy said.

“We are proud of them, the way they played. No matter whether they win or lose, I feel like our kids appreciate us as coaches. Where they come out and they understand the process we go through, when you’ve got buy in like that, it’s going to hurt. Thats’ part of it.”

Even with a heartbreaking loss, the Eagles can build from it.

“There’s times when it hurts,” Hardy said. “When you’re on the verge of doing things, that’ll make the opportunities we have in front of us that much sweeter.”

East Union couldn’t overcome a slow start. Wayne jumped out to a 28-0 lead in the second quarter.

Hardy felt the Eagles were prepared after a solid week of practice.

“You just never know any situation how it’s going to pan out,” Hardy said. “We got some solid practices in, some solid reps in all aspects, from offense, to defense to

YMCA family fun night

CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON

Moving on: CNA photo by KELSEY HAUGEN

Pumpkin picking: Lucian Diaconu of Creston holds 4-year-old daughter Elina after helping her pick a pumpkin to take home from the “floating pumpkin patch” in the pool during the Southern Prairie YMCA’s family fun night Friday at the Y.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg Head Football Coach Brian Morrison talks to the team after Friday’s 49-21 loss at Carroll in the Class 3A District 7 championship game.

Morrison’s message was to learn from the defeat and move forward to this Friday’s home playoff game, a 7 p.m. rematch with Boone. The Panthers won the season-opening matchup with Boone, 28-7.

Fewer Iowans buying flood insurance in recent years DES MOINES (AP) — The number of flood insurance policies sold in Iowa dropped 22 percent between 2011 and this year, but it’s hard to determine the reason for the decline.

The Des Moines Register reports the number of policies fell to 13,872 at the end of September from 2011’s

17,861.

Officials say some homeowners may have dropped coverage when premiums increased or because they paid off their homes so the coverage was no longer required by a bank.

Buyouts of homes in flood-prone areas may

have also contributed.

But the total number of flood insurance policies statewide is still higher than it was in September 2008 when massive floods caused $5 billion in damage in Cedar Rapids. At that point, nearly 12,000 flood insurance policies were in force in Iowa.
