A pair of Creston Community School District buses sit in front of Creston Community Elementary/Middle School Wednesday morning after students departed buses for the start of the school day. CCSD recently purchased new camera systems for the district’s bus fleet, and the installation process for those camera systems is expected to be completed by Nov. 5.

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

New cameras have been ordered and the installation process has begun as Creston Community School District works to upgrade the camera systems on its buses.

With the new camera system, each bus will have multiple cameras. According to CCSD Transportation Director Bob Beatty, the larger buses in the fleet will have seven or eight cameras on board.

When the installation process is complete, 13 of the district’s 23 buses will be equipped with the new camera system. The remaining 10 buses are spare buses, and Beatty said they

are rarely used.

CCSD Business Manager Billie Jo Greene said the district’s goal is to have the installation process complete by Nov. 5.

The new cameras are equipped with infrared, GPS and audio. Each bus will have five or six cameras inside and two cameras on the outside used to monitor the bus’ stop arm.

Previously, the district’s buses had three cameras on board.

“In the past, we couldn’t put midship cameras in because of the protrusion down into the cabin area,” Be- Beatty

atty said. “Now we recess them into the ceiling.”

Currently, eight buses are outfitted with the new camera system, as some of the new cameras have already been installed.

Another feature of the new system is bus drivers have the ability to mark an event on the video log from the cameras, giving the district an easy way to go find incidents on the tape.

“It helps us find the incident on the video quicker instead of going through and watching the whole video to find out what happened when,” Beatty said.

“It puts a little red mark in the video where it happened.”

Beatty said bus drivers are sometimes accused of not being at a certain place

The eighth annual Holiday to Holiday Extravaganza is scheduled for Saturday and features a new look this year.

The event is now located in the big tent in the Hy-Vee parking lot from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission to the event is free for children and adults.

Holiday to Holiday is meant to bring businesses to one place to “kick off the holiday season,” said CNA Advertising Director Craig Mittag.

Hy-Vee is prepared to host the event with wine and spirits sampling for adults and plenty of space for vendors.

Mittag is expecting a large crowd at this year’s event

sion, more than 25 vendors and change in venue.

“Moving it to a venue, like a grocery store on a Saturday, yeah, I think we’ll Mittag have a lot more people,” said Mittag.

Creston Hy-Vee store director and wine specialist Jeremy Odem is expecting this year’s Holiday to Holiday crowd to exceed 300 people.

Odem said he believes moving the event to Hy-Vee provides a better opportunity to showcase holiday food and drinks than in previous HOLIDAY | 2A

Stop arm violations The cameras monitoring the bus’ stop arm work in tandem.

One camera is designed to focus in on license plates of cars passing by, while the other camera is set up to view the stop arm and the vehicle coming through.

Beatty said stop arm violations have been a big problem in certain areas BUS | 2A

Boulton also made stops in Mount Ayr, Corning and Bedford Wednesday.

We are enjoying being on “one” level and having no unused space to clean. We also like the quietness of the more rural setting. Having supermarkets, schools, churches, the hospital and clinics so accessible is also a plus!

Shelby Huntsman reads out loud at Creston Elementary’s first grade family fun night while her pumpkin appears to look on. The monthly family fun nights were designed to strengthen the lines of communication between parents and teachers. The families decorated pumpkins donated by area businesses in October 2007 and were displayed around town in many businesses.

Today is Oct. 26, the 299th day of the year. So, there are 66 days left in 2017. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Oct. 23-29) in history:

10 years ago Creston saw a three-way race for mayor for the Nov. 6 election. Mayor Mike Tamerius announced earlier in the year he would not seek re-election. The candidates were Vern Smith and councilmen Richard Madison Jr. and Warren Woods.

Dr. Dennis M. Bishop, superintendent of Murray Schools, was in his 40th year in education, three as teacher, three as principal and 34 as superintendent of schools, with nine of those years in Murray. The 34 years made him Iowa’s longest active superintendent.

The century-old Newton Maytag factory closed its doors after the last day of work. Worn work boots littered the sidewalk outside the building, a final act of protest to Whirlpool Corp., the company that bought Maytag and shuttered the

factory and former corporate headquarters there in Newton. About 550 workers finished the last washing machine and exited the plant.

Jody Sheriff, daughter of Cliff and Eileen Sheriff of Greenfield, was one of three Iowans representing the United States at the 2007 Special Olympics World Games in Shanghai, China. The sport of bowling had opened up a whole new world to her.

20 years ago Bill Cosby, who starred in “Cosby,” was selected to host a new show, “Kids Say the Darndest Things.”

Rick Fay Bird of Creston was ordered to spend the rest of his life in prison in sentencing for the Feb. 19, 1997, death of Linda Marie Trenkle at his residence.

Bird, 50, was convicted of first degree murder in a bench trial Oct. 1.

Bob Young, operations leader for IES Utilities, said 2,500 Creston customers were without power after 9 inches of heavy, wet snow fell Oct. 26 downing many power lines and trees. Most found the snow

too wet and heavy for snowblowers, so they used the old, reliable shovel.

After 22 years of frustration, Creston/O-M Panthers beat Harlan Cyclones 22-17. The last time a Creston team beat Harlan, the current group of Panthers weren’t even born yet.

Curtis Hoakison, 17 and son of Steve and Judy Hoakison, completed his Eagle Scout project at the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 820 N. Elm St. His project included construction of new entry steps, handicap ramp and landscaping.

50 years ago Mr. and Mrs. Leo Daly of Omaha, Nebraska, were the apparent low bidders for the construction of a new post office building in Creston when bids were opened in Kansas City, Missouri, at the postal service real estate department. Daly’s bid was for $48,746 yearly rental for a building they would construct to specifications.

When completed, the lease would be for 20 years with an option of an additional

30-year lease. Construction was planned for 1968 at the selected site on east Mills between Pine and Walnut streets. The current post office had outgrown the present building on Maple Street due to lack of sufficient space of handling mail since the Creston office had become a sectional center under the ZIP code system, handling mail for 30 satellite offices as well as Creston.

The U.S. Treasury expected to melt silver coins to help accumulate enough silver for domestic use into the 1970s. The department expected to have between 350-425 million ounces of silver in bars by the following June 24, the deadline for Americans to turn in their silver certificates - a type of paper money issued between 1929 and the early 1960s - for silver. The government had quietly began withdrawing some of the old dimes and quarters containing 90 percent silver from circulation and began making copper-nickel coins. The price of silver rose to a record $1.89 an ounce after the announcement.

The Creston News Advertiser offers high quality COPIES Officials say Trump’s opioid COPIES photocopies at competitive prices!

COPIES COPIES emergency won’t mean new money 503 W. Adams Street • 8am - 5pm, Monday - Friday COPIES WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s plan to declare the opioid crisis a nationwide public health emergency won’t bring new dollars to fight a scourge that kills an estimated 142 Americans each day, but will expand access to medical services in rural areas and shift some federal HIV money to help addicts, White House officials said Thursday.

Trump intended to use an afternoon speech to announce that he was directing his health department to take that step, according to the officials, who weren’t authorized to publicly discuss the matter in advance and briefed journalists on condition of anonymity.

Administration officials said they would urge Congress, during end-of-the year budget negotiations, to add new cash to a public health

emergency fund that Congress hasn’t sent money to for years. They made clear that the declaration, which lasts for 90 days and can be renewed, comes with no dedicated dollars.

“An emergency declaration without significant new funds will likely be unsuccessful,” Becky Salay, director of government relations at Trust for America’s Health, a Washington-based public health research and advocacy organization, said in advance of the president’s announcement. “The problem is enormous and requires a similar investment in a comprehensive strategy that includes primary prevention.”

Leading up to the declaration, Trump had said he wanted to give his administration the “power to do OPIOIDS | 5A

honor that which you love most.

Registration open for college scholarship program WEST DES MOINES – Registration is open for a scholarship that offers Iowa high school seniors a chance to receive one of 30 scholarships worth $2,000 for college while learning important financial literacy skills.

In addition, each recipient’s high school will receive a corresponding $500 award.

High school seniors may register for the Iowa Financial KnowHow Challenge: Senior Scholarship at www.

IowaStudentLoan.org/ SeniorScholarship between now and Feb. 16.

Iowa Student Loan will award $2,000 scholarships to 30 students who complete two online financial literacy tutorials and score highest on a related assessment. Registered students also receive emails highlighting financial literacy tips, such as the importance of early career and college planning and ways to reduce student loan indebtedness.

After registering for the scholarship, students receive emailed instructions for completing the three required online components. The two tutorials, Student Loan Game Plans and the ROCI Reality Check, were developed by Iowa Student Loan to help students understand the consequenc-

es of college borrowing and discover how to maximize their return on college investment (ROCI).

A related multiple choice assessment will check students’ understanding of the concepts in the tutorials. The 30 high school seniors who score highest on the assessment test will each receive a $2,000 scholarship that will be sent directly to their colleges in fall 2018. If top-scoring students tie, those students will be asked to write and be judged on a short essay so winners can be determined.

Each scholarship recipient’s high school will also receive a corresponding $500 award to be used toward scholarship and financial literacy programs.

“I’m incredibly grateful for Iowa Student Loan and the Financial Know-How Challenge Scholarship,” said Ryan Wagner, a 2017 graduate of Fort Dodge High School and recipient of the 2016–17 scholarship.

“The financial rewards, as well as the skills I learned when applying,

will be a huge help to me as I strive to pursue my dreams in a way that is financially responsible.”

“Each year, we hear from participants and parents that this scholarship campaign helped them understand how they can minimize college debt,” said Christine Hensley, Iowa Student Loan board chair.

“Our hope is they also tell others, who can then also use our online tools to reduce borrowing as well.”

“Student loan debt should never be taken on lightly,” said Steve McCullough, CEO and president of Iowa Student Loan. “This scholarship allows us to call attention to two tools that effectively educate future college students on how to borrow in a responsible manner.

We want as many college-bound seniors as we can reach to be exposed to these concepts.”

The Iowa Financial Know-How Challenge: Senior Scholarship is open to legal U.S. citizens who are residents of Iowa, are seniors at an Iowa high school during the 2017–18

school year and attend college in fall 2018. It is a no-purchase-required program, and full rules and details are available at www.IowaStudentLoan. org/SeniorScholarship.

Additional resources available Iowa Student Loan also debuted two new resources for families planning for college and students who intend to pursue advanced degrees.

The Parent Handbook consists of valuable tips to help families of students in sixth through 12th grades prepare for success in college and other postsecondary options. The Grad Degree Gauge encourages students to make informed decisions about borrowing levels and their ability to repay new student loan debt when considering the pursuit of an advanced degree. Both tools are available free at www.IowaStudentLoan. org/SmartBorrowing.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, October 26, 2017

Big weekend for our Holiday to Holiday event This Saturday is our annual Holiday to Holiday event. This year’s event has a change of venue and will be under the “big top” next to Hy-Vee. There will lots of booths, several demonstrations and plenty of treats to test out. We are only two months away from Christmas! This event is always pretty good about giving ideas for the Christmas season. There will also be plenty of “tastings” going on in the store. The event goes from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.. The folks at St. Malachy also have their kickoff to Christmas at the school on the same day. So you’ll have plenty of “get in the spirit” places to go Saturday.

Bright Eyes Saturday is also the annual Bright Eyes event in McKinley Park. The event is a wonderful

There is always plenty of candy and lots of booths for the kids to visit. It looks like Mother Nature will provide some fall weather for the event. So dress warm!

Halloween The annual beggars night will be next Tuesday. So if the kids don’t get enough candy on Saturday, they will have a second chance to pick up another bucketfull! Halloween is getting to just about as big of a holiday as Christmas anymore. It seems like there are more

Iowa State The local Cyclone fans should be in good spirits with the football team ranked for the first time in several years.

This week’s game with TCU should be a good test for the team.

If they can pull the upset this week, they’ll be headed deep into the rankings. The next challenge they may have is trying to keep their coach when several teams come calling at the end of the season.

Matt Campbell has done a great

There are also a lot of Northwest Missouri State alums in the area who are pretty proud of the Bearcats being undefeated this late in the season. Of course, they have won 38 games in a row dating back to 2015! WOW!

Nov. 7 Election day is Tuesday, Nov. 7.

It’s not quite as big of an election

as last year, but there will be plenty of local races to pick from.

Houses There sure seems to be a lot of houses for sale around town. It’s been a while since I’ve seen so many for sale signs out on lawns, which is good in some respects due to the fact it has been more of a seller’s market the last few years.

Having some inventory for people might help get some folks moving into town. I hear that nine of the new condos out in the Taylor Addition have been sold. Several more are under construction, plus SWCC is working on one of the units.

Cooling off in California HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Weather Channel reports a sizzling heat wave in Southern California Tuesday baking the fans at the first game of the World Series. People will do anything for a little relief. It’s so hot that tourists in Beverly Hills are walking around praising Trump’s job performance just for the cold stares.

The Hollywood Reporter quoted celebrated movie director Paul Haggis saying he’s decided to move to New York City and work there for the creative atmosphere.

He claims that Hollywood is lagging behind creatively. Just wait till Harvey Weinstein’s lawyers come up with his defense strategy.

The Los Angeles Times continued outing Hollywood producers with multiple female accusers of sexual extortion for plum acting roles. These guys are pretty creepy. Yesterday, a Hollywood producer’s mail order Asian bride arrived, took one look at him and then tried to go back in the crate.

West Hollywood will host a million people in costume for the city’s annual Halloween Parade Tuesday night. My neighbor, an actor, told me that he’s going to prepare for his parade persona as authentically as he can. And since he’s going as Batman, this is REALLY bad news for his parents.

President Trump was cited by a Democratic Florida congresswoman and Green Beret widow over his consolation call after her husband died in Africa. There’s angry discussion over the situation in Niger. If Trump isn’t careful about his tweets involving

Topical humor Argus Hamilton Niger, auto-correct could get him impeached.

President Trump drove up to Capitol Hill Tuesday to push for his tax cuts, however he ran into a buzz saw of Republican criticism.

It took courage, but Trump went to lunch with GOP senators. The president’s food tasters were seen playing rock, paper, scissors to see who had to take the first bite.

John McCain took a swipe at President Trump for getting out of military duty in Vietnam. He didn’t mention that Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump all got out of fighting in that war. Someday it may dawn on McCain that the Cowboys aren’t America’s Team, it’s the Dodgers.

GOP senator Jeff Flake gave a speech ripping Trump Tuesday and declared he won’t run for re-election as GOP senator Bob Corker ripped Trump and dropped out. Two guys become beloved heroes because they surrendered. So tell me again what the media has against Confederate statues?

GOP Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska, who is married, said Tuesday it was somebody else who signed him up for a bunch of dating sites. The timing was perfect.

Ben is a future candidate for president but he saw what happened to 16 GOP candidates last year

who never had a sex scandal.

President Trump blasted the NFL Players Association for standing by players who refuse to stand for the National Anthem.

However, every week a game is played in London and they all rise for God Save the Queen. It just points to the complete absence of Irish-Catholics playing in the NFL. The NFL suffered dismal attendance at games in San Francisco, in Miami, and in Cleveland Sunday. The scandal will come when CBS is caught using audience cheers and applause from the old “I Love Lucy” show when the home team scores. Listen for Desi’s laugh during the TD celebrations.

Saudi Arabia’s king on Tuesday announced that Saudi Arabia will begin practicing moderate Islam.

Women can shed their burkas and dress up. Until now, the best thing about being a Saudi prince is you could divorce your wife and re-marry, and never have to change the photo on your desk.

North Korea’s dictator Kim Jung Un gave a speech to his communist party congress Monday and he vowed to rain hail and fire on the U.S. in a nuclear attack.

I have a liter of Diet Coke and Mentos in my refrigerator. In other words, my nuclear program is 10 years ahead of North Korea’s.

things that you can’t do right now.” As a candidate, he had pledged to make fighting addiction a priority, and pressed the issue in some of the states hardest hit.

“When I won the New Hampshire primary, I promised the people of New Hampshire that I would stop drugs from pouring into your communities. I am now doubling-down on that promise, and can guarantee Trump you - we will not only stop the drugs from pouring in, but we will help all of those people so seriously addicted get the assistance they need to unchain themselves,” Trump told a crowd in Maine weeks before last November’s election.

Once in office, Trump assembled a commission, led by Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., to study the problem, and he said an emergency designation would free up additional money and resources, though some advocates wondered whether that was enough.

Christie, in a statement, said Trump was taking “bold action” that shows “an unprecedented commitment to fighting this epidemic and placing the weight of the presidency behind saving lives across the country.”

At a congressional hearing Wednesday, lawmakers from both parties expressed frustration during questioning of administration officials about federal spending to fight the crisis.

“I don’t understand why more resources aren’t flowing to help out a rural state like West Virginia,” said Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va. Added Rep. Ben Ray Lu-

jan, D-N.M.: “People at home don’t feel like they’re getting help.”

Some health advocates worried that devoting more public health resources to opioids could divert attention and resources from cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other health concerns. They were looking for new sources of money and a willingness for Washington to work closely with state and local governments.

Nearly a year ago, Congress approved a $1 billion to tackle the crisis. Money is gradually reaching places where it can do some good, but with some setbacks and delays along the way.

In some locations, addicts are starting to get treatment for the first time. In others, bureaucratic hurdles prevent innovation, driving home the point that gaining ground on the epidemic will be difficult.

The $1 billion for states is part of last year’s 21st Century Cures Act, which also addressed cancer research and medical innovation.

“It is a great opportunity, but it comes with a lot of angst,” said Tom Hill of the nonprofit National Council for Behavioral Health, which advocates for addiction treatment providers.

States have analyzed data, chosen contractors and are “just getting programs up and running right now.”

—Alabama used some of its share to recruit 23 treatment providers to start more than 5,300 new patients on medications that block cravings.

—Ohio plans to train enough new doctors to treat at least 25,000 new patients with one of the addiction treatment drugs.

—Michigan is hiring 97 peer recovery coaches, many with histories of addiction themselves.

—Illinois has selected a contractor to run a 24-hour opioid crisis phone line.

But in other places innovation is stalled.

Washington state wants to

buy and equip four mobile methadone vans to reach patients in underserved areas.

Utah wants to use video to connect rural patients with a Provo-based doctor trained to prescribe buprenorphine, a medication used to treat opioid addiction.

Both efforts are on hold, lacking crucial regulations from the Drug Enforcement Administration. DEA spokesman Rusty Payne said agency officials “are well aware of the concerns on both issues and are currently developing rules to address them.”

States got half their Cures Act grants in April and will get the rest next year. They must spend 80 percent on opioid addiction treatment.

That’s an incentive for some states to expand access to methadone, the oldest of the treatment drugs.

Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas and Louisiana are among states with plans to do just that. In California, Aegis Treatment Centers, a for-profit company that is the state’s largest methadone provider, will get up to $28.6 million over two years to expand into underserved regions.

Places such as Fellowship House in Birmingham, Alabama, are using drugs like Suboxone, a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, with patients for the first time.

“When I took Suboxone, it was like a miracle,” said one Fellowship House patient, 43-year-old John Montesano, a former long-haul truck driver with a 20-year pill addiction, chronic pain and no health insurance. “I’d be dead now” without it, he said. “Or worse, not dead” and still using.

Montesano recently marked six months without a relapse. He attends daily recovery meetings, works at a sandwich shop and plans to reunite with his wife. As long as the money goes for treatment “the way Fellowship House does it,” he said, Congress “should release all the money they can spare.”

HINTS FROM HELOISE A step toward getting projects done

HOROSCOPE For Friday, Oct. 27, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)When talking to friends, partners and spouses today, you will be intense about going after what you want. It is what it is, and it’s just how you feel.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)You have firm ideas about how to make improvements to your job today. Just make sure that others want to jump on board as well. Easy does it.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Romance is happening today!

You have strong feelings for someone. Others will be preoccupied with sports events, the arts and playful times with children.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)You are determined to make your home more attractive to the point of tearing something down in order to rebuild it. You’re on a roll!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a strong day for writers and people in marketing and sales, because you will express yourself clearly. You will say what you mean and mean what you say!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22)You might figure out new ways to make more money today, or you might even find a better-paying job. Keep your eyes open!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your relationships with others are passionate today.

Everything seems to be black; nothing is gray or wishy-washy. Do not overreact when talking to others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)You are a passionate sign and today some of you are involved in a secret, intense love affair. Others are involved in something secretive as well, but it might not be romance. (Sneaky!)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your involvement with artistic, creative people will be lively today. You have opinions, and so do they.

Make sure you are open to what others have to say.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Some of you will develop a crush on your boss today or someone in a position of power. It will be mind-boggling and memorable. (Yeah, it’s that kind of day.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Someone who is different or from another culture might appeal to you today.

You might get a crush on this person even if the two of you never speak. (Eyes across the

crowded room and all that.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Romance will be intense and passionate today!

However, you also will feel just as intense about issues related to insurance matters, taxes and debt.

YOU BORN TODAY You are charming and compassionate. You are also intelligent, responsible and reliable. This year will be slower paced. You want to rest and

rejuvenate yourself. Focus on business and personal relationships. Look for ways to practice kindness and be helpful to others. Find relationships that are mutually beneficial. It’s an intuitive year so listen to your inner voice.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: You may be immersed in fall cleanup and fix-up projects right now.

What can help you? A STEP STOOL. And yes, there are hints about purchasing one: * If your step stool has multiple steps, it should have a handrail for safety. * Make sure you have a spotter: someone to help you keep your balance. * The stool must be sturdy and stable, with nonslip steps. Use the stool only on a dry, flat surface.

Before you shop for a step stool, check the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s website, www.cpsc. gov, for recalls and other safety hints. The store you buy from may or may not let you try out the step stool (they wouldn’t want you to fall in the store), but you can ask for a demonstration.

These hints can help you “step up” your fall projects game. – Heloise HOT STUFF? Dear Heloise: I’d like to tell your readers to beware of buying items that are captioned “NWOB” or “NWOT” from auction sites.

These stand for “New Without Box” and “New Without

Tags.”

These could possibly, but not necessarily, be stolen or ill-gotten merchandise.

Check the seller’s feedback and/or reputation. It can be easy to sell stolen items over the internet. This is my experience – it may not be your readers’ experiences. – Mary B. in Florida Reputation means a lot on the internet; know as much as you can about the seller.

Many auction sites provide consumers with protection against fraud. – Heloise BUGS BEGONE! Dear Heloise: A paste of baking soda and water removes bugs from the car windshield. I apply it with an old stocking. – Ron A. in Cleveland Baking soda is my goto cleaner! Safe, pure and cheap, it’s available everywhere. To receive a collection of my best baking soda hints, visit www.Heloise.com to order, or send a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, long envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. A box of baking soda in the freezer absorbs food odors. After

SUDOKU

a month, pour it down the drain for freshness. – Heloise THE GREAT COVER-UP Dear Heloise: I keep a paper plate by the microwave.

It covers plates and dishes while they are microwaving to prevent splattering, and it’s replaceable when it gets soiled. – Karen M., Fort Wayne, Ind. Put a small glass of water in the microwave when reheating foods, too; this will add moisture. Be careful – the water will be hot! – Heloise TIGHT ON THE TOP Dear Heloise: In my opinion, people wear too many baggy clothes. Here’s the look I like: Pair a free-flowing and flirty blouse or lightweight sweater with a fitted pant or skirt.

Or choose a snug turtleneck top with a breezy, layered skirt. With a dress, belt it so you’re not swimming in it, or choose a shirtwaist style that is fitted at the top. One element should be tighter (or not baggy), and one loose.

This looks more fashionable!

500th anniversary of the Reformation On Oct. 31, 1517, in Wittenberg, Germany, Martin Luther posted his thoughts about God and the Church. The result was the 150-year movement in Europe that became known as the Reformation that continues to have an impact today.

The Reformation is summed up in a brief statement by Luther, “I must listen to the Gospel. It tells me, not what I must do, but what Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has done for me.”

Because of Jesus, God turns toward humanity in love. God forgives all those Sunday, 1:30 p.m. worship.

who have faith in Jesus.

In the Reformation, Luther taught that humans do not earn God’s love by trying to please Him. God’s love is a free gift because of Jesus. This is the good news of the Gospel.

Five hundred years have passed since Luther began the Reformation. The truth is still the truth. Humanity’s situation hasn’t changed.

Luther needed answers. He found them in God’s Word, the Holy Bible. Luther taught everyone God sent Jesus to forgive sins and to give eternal life. Where are you looking for answers? and Sunday School.

Is Anyone Listening?

By RILEY BEARD

You’re surrounded by a sea of people, all of them pushing, shoving, unwilling to look you in the eye.

No one seems to care about you. You’re just another face, soon to be shipped off and forgotten. This is high school. Many students feel alone, lost and confused.

They feel like they don’t matter. There is someone available for students, but they are not aware enough to take advantage of this lifeline. The guidance counselor’s office is always open, so why are students not stopping in when they need help?

Elementary and middle school students would meet with friendly adults who would ask them how they are feeling and if things are okay at home.

They made students feel noticed, and really that’s all anybody wants. They created a safe place for students who were struggling. Students could eat lunch in their rooms, read a book, or just sit and calm down when they needed a moment.

There is a bit of a shift in high school. “As a general rule, I think students would benefit from talking about those things, you know, at this age they’re more aware of their problems than ever before; it would definitely be more healthy than, to not.” Mason Peckham, a Creston High School senior stated about the need for emotional support for students. The guidance counselors are very focused on student’s future goals. This is not a bad thing. All of the students greatly appreciate the help they are given. The

high school counselors help with planning out high school classes, deciding on a college, and narrowing down career ideas.

So what changed? What causes this shift in guidance counselor roles?

Angela Bolinger, one of the high school guidance counselors was asked about these changes. She stated that the main focus for elementary students is classroom guidance, they focus on feelings, emotions, manners and social skills. As students progress there is a general shift to their future plans. The three main focuses for counselors are personal/social development, academic development, and career development. “In elementary classroom guidance would be about 75% of the time, while in high school it’s more like 25%” Bolinger stated. Individual planning and responsive services, which is a focus on mental health are also a part of the guidance counselors curriculum. Bolinger expressed that she wished students knew that they can still come into the guidance office for emotional support, she just didn’t know how to create awareness.

Students walk by their room every single day. Students who are struggling and need help pass by without knowing that help is just inside that office. If only more recognition was created then many students would finally feel as though they matter to the people around them.

Remember, someone is always listening.

Seniors John Reasoner and Bailey Hopkins both have big roles in the upcoming musical.

Standardized Stress

By CLARISSA HOFFMAN

Every year, the amount of challenges students face can be very imposing, and draining to their mental health. They have their school work, extracurricular activities, and social lives to keep up with; however, there is another factor that can add loads of stress--standardized testing.

Standardized testing has been affecting students since the 19th century. According to the National Educators Association, Charles William Eliot brought a new idea to the table. He thought of having a standardized, college admission test that all colleges recognized and accepted. These tests have evolved over the years and become the ACT and SAT tests, which each takes about 3 hours to take.

According to a study done in 2015 by the Council of the Great City Schools, an average big-city school student will take 112 standardized tests by the time they graduate high school. This breaks to down to 8 redundant tests per year, bringing up about 25 hours of testing. Some parents and teachers are beginning to take a stance against standardized testing. Some believe it causes too much stress, others think that it is a pointless waste of time, and then there are people who see that there advantages and disadvantages to taking these tests.

Danielle Dickinson, an English teacher at Creston High School, talks candidly about the pros and cons of standardized testing and the stress they can put on some students. She says that they’re benefits and downsides to the standardized testing portion of education. Dickinson explains how educators use the data gathered from these tests in order to improve curriculums and find areas that need more attention, “...if all of the students or nearly all of the students in a particular grade are doing well with a

Tessa Powers, a Sophomore at CCHS, spend lots of time studying during her day.

particular skill then we don’t have to worry so much about it, whereas if there’s an area we notice is really weak across the board, we can make sure that we target that and are really teaching so that students know how to do that skill.” She does, however, also believe that there are some negatives to standardized testing.

Dickinson thinks that, however much standardized testing may help the teachers build their curriculum and improve their teaching skills, it takes a toll on the students. “It just gets them worn out, that it’s mentally taxing, and sometimes not especially interesting,” she stated.

Since standardized testing seems to be demanding for many students, here are a few tips to help reduce some of the stress imposed.

Kansas State University gives some ideas on how students can alleviate stress about a test.

One can try breathing exercises, aerobic exercises, and positive self given pep-talks. There are many different ways to ease stress, whether it be exercising or eating healthier. Trying something to pacify the mounds of stress that these tests can give, may help better manage the mental health of students everywhere.

Choir Director Jane Warner and the CCHS Choir are hard at work preparing for this year’s musical production, a presentation of the romantic comedy ‘The Wedding Singer.’ The show stars endearing wedding singer Robbie (John Reasoner), and his eccentric bandmates Sammy (Dylan Linch) and George (Brance Baker), as well as daydreamer Julia (Bailey Hopkins), the new waitress for the reception hall where he performs. Robbie and Julia are perfect for each other, but it can’t be: Julia is stuck with materialistic Glen (Lee Normandeau) and Robbie is getting married to his crazy long-time girlfriend Linda (Sasha Smith).

“It’s a show with a lot of energy, and it’s kind of edgy which the kids like; there’s some more grown up humor, and I think it’s gonna be really funny,” says Warner. The student actors share the same excitement about uniqueness of this show.

Reasoner says, “We usually don’t get as much as a mix of comedy and drama as this show. It’s a pretty emotional story and it’s one that I think a lot of people can relate to.” On her role, Hopkins adds, “I’m excited cause I get to play a role who is really true to who I am as a person. It’s fun to play more of a emotional character, usually I’m more of a comic relief character, and it’s nice to play a character that gives you more of the feels.” Amid the excitement, however, there have been a few obstacles; Warner comments on one the biggest challenges, “It’s a dance heavy show.

There’s a lot of choreography to do. We have a group of core dancers that are great, and we’re sprinkling in kids that are less experienced, but I think they’re up to it.”

Head out and see their hard work pay off on November 10th, 11th, and 12th.

George Springer’s tworun HR in the 11th lifts Astros over Dodgers, 7-6, to take wild Game 2 of World Series George Springer screamed with joy as he circled the bases after hitting a two-run homer in the 11th inning.

Would it be enough?

Was this the final plot twist on one of the wildest nights in postseason history?

Yes, it was — barely — and the Houston Astros won a World Series game for the first time in their 56 seasons.

Charlie Culberson hit a two-out homer in the bottom half off Chris Devenski, who then struck out Yasiel Puig in a tense, nine-pitch at-bat for the win. The Astros outlasted the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-6 in a Hollywood thriller Wednesday to tie the Series at one game apiece.

“Wasn’t that the best game ever!?” Alex Bregman proclaimed to no one in particular in the Astros clubhouse.

On a night of dramatic swings and a World Series-record eight home runs, Marwin Gonzalez stunned the Dodger Stadium crowd with a solo shot off dominant Los Angeles closer Kenley Jansen on an 0-2 pitch in the ninth that made it 3-all.

Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa hit consecutive home runs against Josh Fields in the 10th to build a 5-3 Astros lead, with Correa flipping his bat to celebrate.

But there was more.

Much, much more.

“This is an instant classic and to be part of it is pretty special,” Astros starter Justin Verlander said.

Puig homered off Ken Giles starting the bottom of the 10th and Enrique Hernandez knotted the score 5-5 with a two-out RBI single.

Devenski entered and, with Hernandez at second, made a wild pickoff throw that appeared headed toward left-center field before it struck second base umpire Laz Diaz. An incredulous Hernandez put both hands on his helmet, unable to advance, and was stranded when Chris Taylor flied out.

“We were pretty unlucky at the beginning of the game when Taylor dove in center field and (the ball) hit him in the face or head,” Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. “I felt like the baseball gods were returning the favor, by having an umpire standing in the way there.”

Cameron Maybin, who had entered in the 10th, singled leading off the 11th against losing pitcher Brandon McCarthy, a surprise addition to the Dodgers’ World Series roster who was pitching for the first time since Oct. 1. Maybin stole second and ASTROS | 11A

Valley has home path to the Dome with opener vs.

Gehlen Catholic

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

CORNING — Members of Southwest Valley’s surrounding community can be forgiven if they’re inclined to walk up to Timberwolves football coach Anthony Donahoo and implore, “I mustache you a question.”

When Donahoo made an agreement with his players that he would grow out the hair above his upper lip should Southwest Valley defeat Earlham and continue growing it should they keep winning, he had every intention of growing that hair to his team’s content.

That was almost seven weeks ago.

Slowly but surely, that mustache hair is coming in, and his team is loving it.

To keep his hair, the wins have had to keep coming.

The Timberwolves have

gone 1-0 every week since then.

“You’ve got to be able to make fun of yourself a little bit, which I have no problem doing that,” Donahoo said. “To fight just a little bit harder and understand their coach is that invested in us going 1-0 and then every single week having the same mantra over and over, it’s been fun. I’ll be able to look back and think fond memories.”

Now, undefeated Class A District 7 champion Southwest Valley will welcome playoff wildcard Gehlen Catholic (7-2) to Corning Friday at 7 p.m. in the program’s second home playoff game as a combined school district between Corning and Villisca.

The winner will square off with whoever emerges from the battle between St. Albert and Westwood, Sloan.

It’s something the school hasn’t experienced in some time.

The last Corning team to go undefeated was the 1971

Southwest Valley football coach Anthony Donahoo watches over practice repetitions Wednesday in Corning. The undefeated Timberwolves will host their first 11-man home playoff game on Friday against Gehlen Catholic of Le Mars. Donahoo, as well as players Brett Schafroth and Hunter Poston spoke with sports editor Kaleb Carter after practice Wednesday about how the team has gotten to this point.

Spartans finish league play fifth at 4-4 n

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Southwestern used the comeback formula to perfection in sweeping Ellsworth 25-21, 25-21, 25-16 on sophomore night on the Rita Schroeder Volleyball Court Wednesday night.

The Spartans rallied from slow starts in each set in beating the Panthers and improving to a final mark of 4-4 in Region XI, Iowa Community College Athletic Conference play and 1820 overall.

“We kind of came out sluggish every single time and it took us a few plays to kick it in,” said Spartan coach Aleesha Cleaver. “It was nice to see us come from behind and get the conference win on sophomore night.”

Honored with family members prior to the match were libero Ashley Kopplin of Rockford, Illinois and the

Corning duo of middle hitter Sydney Maynes and setter Taylor Damewood.

“I don’t think there is anywhere I’d rather be than on this court tonight with Taylor and Ashley and this team,” said Maynes, who had 11 kills, including the final point of the night, in her final home appearance. “We definitely wanted a turnout season this year and I think we’ve kind of accomplished that. And now we want to continue our season in regionals.”

Damewood set up 10 assists Wednesday to go with 16 assists by freshman setter Ashley Porter.

The sophomore trio was part of a turnaround from last year’s 6-27 season when the Spartans got the No. 7 seed on a tiebreaker for the regional tournament.

This year, Southwestern travels to No. 4 seed Northeast Community College in Norfolk, Nebraska to open regional play next Wednesday.

“It’s way better odds for us than last year, going to the second seed,” Cleaver said. “I’m excited to play

Northeast. The last time we played them we lost, but they were close games and we didn’t have Sydney.

We weren’t healthy. We’re healthy now and I’m excited to see how we match up.”

If the Spartans conclude the regular season with two wins against a pair of Graceland University JV teams (including Nicole Haley of Creston), the Spartans would achieve 20 victories for the first time since the national tournament appearance in 2013 under coach Melissa Blessington.

“We really want to get after it tomorrow night,” said Cleaver, in her second year as the Spartans coach. “We like have those extra games at the end. Just go out and play. We get better in live competition.”

Ellsworth, which finished seventh in ICCAC play at 2-6 and 9-24 overall, bolted to an 11-6 lead in the opening set Wednesday.

But freshman hitter Kelcie Shields of Mount Ayr got hot at the end of the 25-21 Spartan victory.

LENOX — It appears to be a daunting task awaiting the Lenox football team Friday night, but if the Tigers know anything in this 2017 season, it’s how to face adversity.

The Tigers (5-4), runner-up in 8-Player District 6, travel to District 7 champion Sidney (9-0) in the first round of the playoffs.

Kickoff is 7 p.m.

The Cowboys are averaging 59.8 points per game and have been particularly dominant in the second half of the season, with a winning margin of 34 points or more in the last five victories.

Behind a formidable senior-dominated line, Sidney features a running game that ranks second in 8-Player football. The No. 2 rusher in the state in that division is Cowboy senior Bryson Duncan with 1,676 yards and 28 touchdowns.

Other weapons include fullback Cody Dupre with 674 yards and 12 TDs, along with a team-leading 13 receptions for 270 yards and five touchdowns. Tight end Sergio Rodriguez has 12 catches for 227 yards and a team-high seven receiving touchdowns.

Rebuilt backfield Lenox, meanwhile, has made its playoff run after losing its starting backfield of Sam Donaldson and Colton Hogan less than halfway into the season.

Derek Venteicher, a tough inside runner at 6-2 and 210 pounds, a n d Colton Gordon h a v e Still taken o v e r those spots.

Quarterback Carter Still runs the team’s triple op-

tion attack and is the leading rusher with 669 yards and 13 TDs. Venteicher also has 13 rushing TDs while running for 537 yards and Gordon has compiled 488 yards and five TDs since moving from tight end.

However, linebacker Aaron Schmitz is out of practice all week in order to get a sore ankle ready for Friday’s game. And, Still is nursing a groin injury. He w o n ’ t play any defensive back this w e e k , and if he is unable to go at Gordon quarterback, Gordon will make another shift and lead the offense.

“This has been the most adversity I’ve been associated with any team in any year of coaching,” said Lenox head coach Matt Malausky. “What makes it tougher is that we had 15 kids healthy enough to practice last night (Tuesday).”

Weather for game preparations settled down Wednesday after two days of windy and blustery conditions, but the outlook for Friday is much colder temperatures. Traces of snow are forecast for northern Iowa games, but not as likely south of Interstate 80 near the Nebraska border.

If Still is hampered, freshman Cullen Wood is likely to step into a tailback role and is also scheduled to be Gordon’s partner in the defensive secondary, since Still is being saved for offense only this week.

Formidable line Dealing with the power of the Sidney running game is the priority for the Tigers on Friday.

“They have a lot of big guys up front,” Malausky said. “Of their 39 guys, 11 are 200 pounds or more, and their front line averages 230, which includes their 180-pound center. Both of their backs are good, but LENOX | 12A

ASTROS: CONT. FROM | 10A

Springer hit a drive to right-center for a 7-5 lead, just the third 11th-inning home run in the Series after shots

by Kirby Puckett in 1991 and David Freese in 2011.

Springer, an Springer All-Star leadoff man, broke out of his slump with three hits and a walk after going 0 for 4 with four strikeouts in the Series opener Tuesday. His decisive drive made the Astros the first team to hit three extra-inning home runs in a postseason game.

Devenski retired Corey Seager and Justin Turner on lineouts in the bottom half. Puig checked his swing on a 2-2 pitch — the Astros jumped when first base umpire Gerry Davis signaled no swing — and Puig fouled off two more. Devenski threw his fifth straight changeup, and Puig swung over it as the Astros ran onto the field to celebrate after finally closing out a back-and-forth game that

Red Raiders squad that claimed the state championship as a result of being ranked highest in the season-end poll.

Villisca’s last undefeated football season was believed to be 1925.

Players from the state title team even called Donahoo to exclaim about how pleased they were with the Southwest Valley product on and off the field.

“They were really proud of what they saw on the sidelines from our players and just their effort,” Donahoo said. “It was very heartwarming to hear that from the old-timers,” Donahoo said.

The success is some time coming. Two seasons removed from consecutive one-win seasons, the Timberwolves improved upon a 6-3 season to 9-0 in the regular season, with their only close contest an 8-7 decision on the road over previously top-ranked St. Albert in the waning seconds of regulation.

lasted 4 hours, 19 minutes.

“It was an emotional roller coaster,” said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who removed starter Rich Hill after he threw only 60 pitches in four solid innings and struck out seven.

After another steamy night in a Santa Ana heat wave, the series shifts to Texas and resumes Friday night at Houston’s Minute Maid Park, where the retractable roof has not been open for a game since June 9. Lance McCullers Jr. starts for the Astros and Yu Darvish for the Dodgers, who acquired him from Texas at the July 31 trade deadline.

Houston is 2-5 on the road in the postseason but 6-0 at home, where the Astros have outscored the Red Sox and Yankees by a combined 31-7.

“We didn’t expect these guys to lay down. It’s a very good ballclub over there,” Roberts said. “We’ll be ready to go.”

Before Gonzalez’s home run, the Dodgers had an 85 percent chance of winning, according to Fangraphs.

After Correa’s long ball, the Astros were a 93 percent favorite.

Verlander, wearing an undershirt, entered the dugout at one point and

screamed at his teammates that the game was not over.

“All of a sudden, two runs seemed like it was the Grand Canyon,” he said. “I was just trying to remind these guys two runs is nothing.”

Bregman’s RBI single in the third gave Houston its first lead of the Series, a hit that might have turned into a three-run, inside-the-park homer had the ball not caromed off the bill of Taylor’s cap directly to left fielder Joc Pederson.

Los Angeles had just two hits through seven innings but led 3-1 behind Pederson’s fifth-inning solo homer and Seager’s tiebreaking, two-run drive in the sixth against Verlander. It was Pederson’s first home run since July 26.

Jansen entered with a 3-1 lead trying for his first six-out save in a year af- Jensen ter Bregman doubled leading off the eighth against Brandon Morrow, a ball that ticked off the glove of a diving Puig in the right-field corner. Furious that he didn’t make what would have

been a sensational catch, Puig slammed his mitt to the ground.

Correa’s RBI single off Jansen ended a record 28-inning postseason scoreless streak by the Dodgers’ bullpen.

Gonzalez, choking up on the bat, seemed an unlikely candidate for a tying homer.

He had not driven in a run in his 45 plate appearances since Houston’s Correa playoff opener, and the blown save was just the second for Jansen this year. The Dodgers had been 98-0 in 2017 when leading after eight innings, including the postseason.

“I didn’t make my pitch,” Jansen said. “You can’t beat yourself up about that.”

As the slanting sun illuminated the green hills of Elysian Park behind center field and the ochre-tinted San Gabriel Mountains beyond, retired Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully took the mound for the ceremonial first pitch . The 89-yearold, who left the booth in 2016 after his 67th season, charmed the crowd when

he began “somewhere up in heaven, Duke Snider, Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Gil Hodges are laughing their heads off” at his presence on the mound.

He feigned an arm injury and turned the ritual over to Fernando Valenzuela, who helped the Dodgers win their 1981 title.

The game-time temperature was 93 degrees — down 10 degrees from the opener. Celebrities in the sellout crowd of 54,293 included golfers Tiger Woods and Fred Couples, and former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning.

Houston improved to 10-0 in nine starts and one relief appearance by Verlander, the 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner obtained in a trade from Detroit at the Aug. 31 deadline to be eligible for the Astros’ postseason roster.

Afterward, players were exhausted.

“When that last out is made, you finally breathe,” Springer said. “That’s an emotional high — emotional high to low to high again.

But that’s why we play the game. And that’s the craziest game that I’ve ever played in. And it’s only Game 2.”

To even get to this point has required a special kind of intensity, effort and focus.

“The weightlifting program has definitely helped,” junior lineman Hunter Poston said.

“I think t h r e e fourths of our players have been Poston in (lifting consistently) since January.”

Hard work in summer drills and preseason training has prepared the Timberwolves for this.

Southwest Valley’s starters are also quick to credit the looks they receive in practice from second-team- Schafroth ers.

“Ones and twos in practice goes awesome. It’s the best we could ask for,” linebacker Brett Schafroth said.

Schafroth and Poston both have been integral parts of

the program’s ascension.

A selfless attitude on the defense has helped the line dictate what happens in the trenches.

“If I take up two blocks, he’s (Schafroth) open to make the tackle,” Poston said.

Schafroth has 67 tackles on a defense that sees great distribution between the number of players flying to the football.

Players like Jacob Webb, who has 12 solo tackles for loss, have been near unstoppable at times.

“You see that light bulb go off and on for that front four to have as many tackles for loss as we do and sacks that we do,” Donahoo said.

“It frees up our linebackers where Brett (Schafroth) doesn’t have to think, he can just go.”

Others, like Chance TePoel (seven sacks), and Logan Calkins (38.5 tackles), have been able to thrive defensively while the Timberwolves’ offense sprints its way to an average of 37.9 points per game.

In all facets, trust is key to the team’s shared success.

Schafroth noted that his responsibilities defensively have become muscle memory. Their responsibilities are second nature. The success that comes with sticking to the script has been immensely satisfying for the Timberwolves.

“Our coaches told us they will put us in the right spot, then it’s up to us what we do with it,” Schafroth said.

It’s a system that has brought coaches tied to the athletics of old in the area back to the program.

Former Timberwolf and Red Raider Keegan Longabaugh has worked as the defensive line coach.

Donahoo also feels enthralled by the presence of coach Roger Stone and Andy Timmerman, the latter a national champion with Northwest Missouri State.

“To find this in this community at Southwest Valley has just been awesome because these people wanted to come back after the success last year,” Donahoo said. “This wants to be a football town.”

Being in the right spots will be critical to having success against the visiting Gehlen Catholic Jays of Le Mars.

The Jays enter the postseason coming off a 29-28 loss to Westwood, but qualified on a tiebreaker.

Friday’s most daunting challenge with the Jays is their size, according to Donahoo.

Gehlen Catholic’s gamebreakers are likely to be cousins Adam and Eli Ellensohn, who will wear No. 3 and No. 44 respectively. The two have combined for over 1,300 yards rushing (Adam with 930) and 22 touchdowns on the ground.

Quarterback Cole Wiltgen is a threat with his arm, with 1,302 passing yards, and feet, with 373 rushing yards.

Defensively, No. 4 Elijah Freking (55 tackles) and Lucas McCarty (No. 54) lead the way in tackles.

Le Mars Dailey Sentinel sports editor Allen Hamil noted the secondary will play aggressively, meaning

Associated Press GAME OF THE WEEK No. 2 Penn State at No. 6 Ohio State.

The Buckeyes have had this one circled on their calendars since Grant Haley — he of the 60-yard blocked field goal return — and an unranked Penn State beat them 24-21 in Happy Valley last year when they were ranked second. Ohio State has amassed 500 total yards in five straight games and is coming off an open date. Penn State has won 16 of its last 17 and is in the middle of what could be the season-defining three-game stretch of Michigan-Ohio State-Michigan State.

The winner stays atop the Big Ten East and in strong position for the College Football Playoff.

BEST MATCHUP Ohio State QB J.T. Barrett vs. Penn State pass defense.

Southwest Valley receivers Grant Maurer and Addison Bull will have to up their game to snag passes from senior quarterback Chance Cobb.

Nothing statistically suggests that the Jays will be making many tackles for loss, which makes Southwest Valley likely to find itself in favorable down and distance situations.

“We’ve got to be able to play physical and control the line of scrimmage on both sides,” Donahoo said.

“It’s going to be a cold night.

We’ve got to be able to hold onto the ball.”

But on this cold night, expect the crowd in Corning to be ready for its first Timberwolves home playoff contest as an 11-man program.

“To be able to put together what we have is something we’ll definitely celebrate when it’s all said and done,” Donahoo said. “But right now we want to work on being perfect this week.”

Southwest Valley wants to be 1-0 when the game clock hits 0 on Friday.

No. 4 TCU faces road test at No. 25 Iowa State No. 4 TCU (7-0, 4-0 Big 12) at No. 25 Iowa State (52, 3-1), Saturday, 3:30 p.m.

ET (ABC/ESPN2).

Line: TCU by 6 ½.

Series record: TCU leads 7-1.

WHAT’S AT STAKE A TCU loss would leave the Big 12 without an unbeaten team heading into November and put Iowa State team into a tie for first place. A loss by the Cyclones could send them out of the Top 25 after just one week.

KEY MATCHUP TCU QB Kenny Hill vs.

Iowa State’s secondary.

Hill has been the biggest reason why TCU’s offense has come to life in 2017. But Iowa State’s defense has allowed just 61 points in four league games — matching TCU for first in the Big 12 — and its secondary has playmakers everywhere.

PLAYERS TO WATCH TCU. RB Darius An-

derson. He is averaging 5.8 yards per carry and has six touchdowns in seven games. If the Horned Frogs can get Anderson going, Hill should have the space he’ll need to make plays in the passing game.

Iowa State: QB/LB Joel Lanning. The nation’s top two-way player has 78 tackles, six tackles for loss and 2 ½ sacks — and he’s getting better every week after making the transition from quarterback in the offseason.

FACTS & FIGURES TCU is 3-0 against Iowa State in Ames. ...The weather is supposed to be nasty, with temperatures in the upper 30s, wind gusts approaching 30 MPH and even a chance for some snow showers. ...This matchup, arguably the biggest in the Big 12 this week, will be between teams picked fifth (TCU) and ninth (Iowa State) in the preseason poll.

NASCAR THIS WEEK

TALLADEGA

SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Still think Talladega belongs in the playoffs?

GODSPEAK: Absolutely.

Talladega is the great unknown, except if you repair sheet metal at the shop.

KEN’S CALL: I take it all back. No, it doesn’t, not even for the showbiz angle.

Does Kez’s win make him a bigger championship threat?

GODSPEAK: If you believe in momentum, yes, and don’t forget, he is a former champion. Been there, done that.

KEN’S CALL: In putting him through to the next round, yes. In any other way, are you kidding?

C U P S TA N D I N G S 1. Martin Truex Jr. 3120 2. Brad Keselowski 3101 3. Kyle Larson 3096 4. Kevin Harvick 3089 5. Denny Hamlin 3088 6. Chase Elliott 3087 7. Ryan Blaney 3076 8. Jimmie Johnson 3074 9. Kyle Busch 3067 10. Matt Kenseth 3066 11. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 3052 12. Jamie McMurray 3045

MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST Hey, look who made it through the Talladega mayhem: The Daytona Motor Mouths! Join us as we advance through the playoffs.

Tune in online at www.news-journalonline. com/daytonamotormouths

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

Whose playoffs will end?

Prepare the parting gifts for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Jamie McMurray. No real surprise there. The actual bubble seems to reach from Ryan Blaney in seventh place to Matt Kenseth in 10th, with Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch between them. Just 10 points separate those four drivers, so two of them are likely done, and let's assume Kyle either wins Kansas or chases Martin Truex Jr. across the stripe. Barring the unexpected, of course.

Didn’t we leave “the unexpected” behind at Talladega?

Several NASCAR playoff drivers, such as Kyle Busch (18) and Martin Truex Jr. (78), got caught in Talladega’s clutches.[AP/DALE DAVIS]

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED 1. Twist and shout

2. Magic 300

3. Junior says

As predicted, Talladega shook up the playoff points standings. Only four of the 12 playoff drivers were running at the finish, with three on the lead lap. This race was especially brutal, evidenced by the fact only 14 cars were on the track for the checkered flag. “It was just crazy,” said Kyle Larson.

Like Team Penske teammate Joey Logano before him, Brad Keselowski won in his 300th career Cup Series start. Kez has 24 wins to Logano’s 18.

This win was more survival. “It was one of those crazy days,” Keselowski said. “I think we have seen that at the plate tracks this year.”

Sunday’s race was the last for Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Talladega. He sat on the pole and finished seventh. “I know a lot of folks came to see this race just for the fact that it was my last plate race, and trust me, I wanted to win it for all those folks,” he said. “Couldn’t get it done.”

GODWIN’S PICKS FOR KANSAS WINNER: Kyle Busch REST OF TOP 5: Martin Truex Jr., Chase Elliott, Kevin Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr. FIRST ONE OUT: Joey Logano DARK HORSE: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: In a Toyota vs. Toyota battle, Busch beats Truex by a nose to advance in the playoffs.

THREE THINGS TO WATCH 1. Kansas cut

DAVID RAGAN VS. MARTIN TRUEX JR.: Truex got into the back bumper of Ragan’s No. 38 Ford, which turned sideways in heavy traffic in Turn 3, igniting the “Big One” crash on Lap 173 (of 188).

W H AT ’ S O N TA P

2. The 1.5 factor Three of the last five races will be staged at tracks measuring 1.5 miles, including the championship final at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

The schedule favors Martin Truex Jr., who has five wins this season, with four on 1.5mile ovals. His primary rival, Kyle Busch, has four wins, but none on 1.5-mile ovals. He has two wins on 1-mile tracks,

Feb. 18: The Clash at Daytona (Joey Logano) Feb. 23: Can-Am Duels at Daytona (Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin) Feb. 26: Daytona 500 (Kurt Busch) March 5: Folds of Honor Quick Trip 500 at Atlanta (Brad Keselowski) March 12: Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas (Martin Truex Jr.) March 19: Good Sam 500k at Phoenix (Ryan Newman) March 26: Auto Club 400 at Fontana (Kyle Larson) April 2: STP 500 at Martinsville (Brad Keselowski) April 9: O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas (Jimmie Johnson) April 23: Food City 500 at Bristol (Jimmie Johnson) April 30: Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond (Joey Logano) May 7: Geico 500 at Talladega (Ricky Stenhouse Jr.)

FEUD OF THE WEEK

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Truex immediately took responsibility. “Just trying to get some track position and have a good day and ended up causing a wreck, so I hate it for everybody,” he said.

There are 12 drivers still active in the Cup Series playoffs. Four of those drivers will be shown the exit after the next stop at Kansas Speedway. Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski can sleep this week because they advanced with wins at Charlotte and Talladega, respectively. The dogfight will be all around Jimmie Johnson, who is eighth in points. Kyle Busch lurks only seven points behind.

2017 SCHEDULE AND WINNERS

There was nothing unexpected about that mess.

Though we gotta say, even by plate-racin’ standards, finishing with just 11 cars taking the final green flag, and just eight at speed off the final turn, was something to behold — you know, if you like that sort of thing. The last laps, with a handful of cars darting in and out and around, had the look of an old IROC race.

another at 2-mile Pocono and his fourth on a short track.

Advantage, Truex.

3. Freakish Fords Ford drivers have nine wins through 31 Cup Series races this season. They swept the four restrictor-plate races held at Daytona and Talladega, thanks in big part to

the horsepower produced by Roush Yates Racing Engines, which lost its co-founder, Robert Yates, two weeks ago.

Brad Keselowski’s Talladega victory snapped a 13-race losing streak for the folks at the Blue Oval. Keselowski’s last win was in April.

Grassley spring internships available, due Nov. 15 Interns assist staff members with administrative, legislative and communications work, including that of Grassley’s staff on the Senate committee on the judiciary, where he serves as chairman.

Grassley said he encourages young Iowans who are interested in learning more about the government to apply.

“Interning in a congressional office is a good way

Official: Iowa elections show over 30 union units will end discussed the possibility of legal action if the paperwork is considered void.

Tammy Wawro, president of the Iowa State Education Association, noted that the automatic “no” from nonparticipating workers and a threshold that required a majority of all employees to vote to keep a unit created “an unreasonable standard for successful recertification elections.” Still, she pointed out that 216 out of 220 ISEA locals in the elections were able to recertify.

“This obstacle was overcome by the strong and determined professionals who will not back down from what they know is best for their profession, their students and their schools,” she said in a statement.

Republican Sen. Jason Schultz of Schleswig helped write the collective bargaining law as part of his work leading a Senate labor committee. He dismissed the narrative that GOP lawmakers were trying to weaken workers’ rights and instead restated that many of them didn’t have a role in forming their locals.

“The employees went ahead and stated their positions,” he said of the elections. “I think that’s a success for the system.”

Some of the decertified union locals were decided by a handful of votes. Separately, Service Employees International Union did not secure enough votes to continue a unit that represents nurses at Broadlawns Medical Center in Des Moines.

Out of the 197 employees eligible to vote, according to the data, the unit needed 99 to vote yes. In the end, 74 did so, and another 27 voted no. Others did not vote.

The recertification elections must now be held before each new contract, which happens every few years depending on the unit.

That means the cycle of elections will continue well into the future.

DES MOINES (AP) — A majority of public workers in Iowa who were eligible to participate in recent elections linked to a new collective bargaining law chose to stay unionized, according to state data released Wednesday, though more than two dozen locals will essentially dismantle because of how the votes must be counted.

The so-called recertification elections were one of the first real tests of labor strength in the state since the new Republican-controlled Legislature eliminated most of what employees can negotiate over their working conditions. Unions saw the final results as a win given the participation rate, and at least one official referenced the upcoming midterm election as a chance to reverse course.

“I am confident that workers will once again claim victory in the November 2018 election when those politicians who stabbed them in the back are sent packing,” said Danny Homan, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Iowa Council 61, in a statement.

Data from the Iowa Public Employment Relations Board show more than 28,000 workers voted to keep being represented by their union locals. That’s out of the roughly 33,200 who were eligible to vote. About 620 workers voted against the union locals, another 137 voted “no preference” and more than 4,000 chose not to vote. Those were counted as “no” votes.

In the end, 436 union locals will stick around and 32 union locals will not because they must decertify. Following a 10-day appeal window, workers in that second group will be barred from unionizing for two years.

Questions have been raised about what happens to existing contracts between the union locals and employers. Unions have
