During Sunday night’s car chase, a white Chevy Impala being chased by state troopers turned left onto North Mulberry Street and came to rest in the field where this road ends. Inset, 20-year-old Nathan Paul Butler of Des Moines was driving the Impala and 28-year-old Jennifer Benshoof of Creston in the passenger seat.

Driver in Sunday car chase taken to Adair County Jail

GOP, White House reach budget deal

By IAN RICHARDSON

CNA staff reporter irichardson@crestonnews.com

Marilyn Maltzahn will tell you the intersection of College Drive and North Mulberry Street is usually a quiet part of town. It’s a T-intersection that leads to two dead ends for motor vehicle traffic.

“Nobody goes fast,” Maltzahn said.

But that changed around 9 p.m. Sunday night as the intersection became a trap to end a 15-mile car chase involving Iowa State Patrol and law enforcement from Adair, Montgomery and Union counties.

The chase began in southern Adair County Please see CAR CHASE, Page 2

A speed change is in order.

On Monday, Union County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to approve a speed limit change, from an unmarked 50 mph to a marked 35 mph for a stretch of 130th Street running from Green Valley Road more than a quarter mile to Green Valley State Park.

The resolution was brought to the supervisors’ attention because people using the new trails at Green Valley State Park have to use part of 130th Street to get from the trail to the the park boundary.

“It’s probably a little too

fast in that kind of use,” said Union County Engineer Steve Akes, “especially having bicycles. Plus, you’ll have a lot of people.”

Akes said the s p e e d limit sign should be up by the end of this Akes week.

“I certainly wouldn’t want anybody to get hurt out there. Nobody,” said Lois Monday, chair of Union County Board of Supervisors. “There are a lot of people that use that, and I’m very glad about that. ... I think by lowering that speed limit, that will help.”

A bent post stands at the end of a trail of flattened grass in the field where Sunday’s high-speed chase ended on North Mulberry Street in Creston. The car, which ran up onto a pile of concrete after entering the field, had to be towed from the scene.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House GOP leaders struck a budget deal made with the White House just before midnight Monday aimed at averting a government shutdown and forestalling a debt crisis.

Speaker John Boehner is making one final appeal to restive Republicans: Pass the hard-won agreement with President Barack Obama before Rep. Paul Ryan assumes the speaker’s job later this week. But

he encountered immediate resistance when he laid out the plan Monday night. His plan is for members to vote on the deal Wednesday.

The budget pact, in concert with a must-pass increase in the federal borrowing limit, would solve the thorniest issues awaiting Ryan, who is set to be elected speaker on Thursday.

CAR CHASE: Continued from Page 1A

when an Iowa State Patrol officer checked the plates of a car traveling at high speed. The car was registered to 28-year-old Jennifer Benshoof, of Creston, who was wanted on a Polk County warrant for aggravated assault. The driver was 20-year-old Nathan Paul Butler, of Des Moines.

The chase lasted 15 miles from Adair to Union County.

Law enforcement blocked off Cherry Street Road heading north, leaving Butler’s only option to go onto College Drive, which then intersects with North Mulberry Street.

It was a chase to which Maltzahn, who lives on the corner with her husband, Steve, had a front-row seat.

“I was sitting in the chair,

and I heard a car going really fast,” she said. “Then, I looked out the window, and I could see the flashing lights.”

The next thing she saw was another vehicle flying north along Mulberry. It was Creston Police Chief Paul Ver Meer, who happens to live just down the road.

The car turned onto College Drive, then veered north on Mulberry, finally running against a small concrete mound in the field that sits at the end of the street.

Randy and Linda Hughes live in the last house on the east side of North Mulberry Street. Monday, as Randy was tending his garden, which lies just a few yards from the crash site, he recalled what he saw Sunday.

“We heard the sirens and

saw the lights,” Randy said.

“Then we went away from the windows. They didn’t look like they needed any help.”

Benshoof was picked up at the scene and transported to Polk County Jail. Butler took off from the car, finally hiding in the bushes at Creston Police Sgt. Eric Shawler’s home on College Drive. Montgomery County Law Enforcement had brought canines, which helped with the search.

Shawler’s daughter, Morgan, said the capture was made on the patio of next-door neighbor Connie Swanson. She said the police had Butler sit on the curb for a while.

Ver Meer said Butler had some cuts on his leg and that he was taken to Greater Regional Medical Center. Butler was picked

up at 3 p.m. Monday to be transferred to Adair County Jail. He has been charged with numerous traffic violations and was being held on $2,000 bond.

The car, a white Chevy Impala, was towed from the scene Sunday.

agencies two years of budget relief of $80 billion in exchange for cuts elsewhere in the budget.

Outlined for rank-and-file Republicans in a closed-door session Monday night, the budget relief would total $50 billion in the first year and $30 billion in the second year.

“Let’s declare success,” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told Republicans, according to Rep. David Jolly, R-Fla., as the leadership sought to rally support for the emerging deal.

A chief selling point for GOP leaders is that the alternative is chaos and a stand-

alone debt limit increase that might be forced on Republicans. But conservatives in the conference who drove Boehner to resign were not ready to fall in line.

“This is again just the umpteenth time that you have this big, big, huge deal that’ll last for two years and we were told nothing about it,” said Rep. John Fleming of Louisiana.

“I’m not excited about it at all,” said Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz. “A two-year budget deal that raises the debt ceiling for basically the entire

term of this presidency.”

The measure under discussion would suspend the current $18.1 trillion debt limit through March 2017.

The budget side of the deal is aimed at undoing automatic spending cuts which are a byproduct of a 2011 budget and debt deal and the failure of Washington to subsequently tackle the government’s fiscal woes.

GOP defense hawks are a driving force, intent on reversing the automatic cuts and getting more money for the military.

“We heard the sirens and saw the lights.

Then we went away from the windows. They didn’t look like they needed any help.”

— Randy Hughes North Mulberry Street resident

BUDGET: Continued from Page 1A

The deal would also take budget showdowns and government shutdown fights off the table until after the 2016 presidential election, a potential boon to Republican candidates who might otherwise face uncomfortable questions about messes in the GOP-led Congress.

Congress must raise the federal borrowing limit by Nov. 3 or risk a first-ever default, while money to pay for government operations runs out Dec. 11 unless Congress acts. The emerging framework would give both the Pentagon and domestic

Monday at their residence.

According to a Creston Police report, officers responded to a complaint of an unwanted trespasser upon 301 W.

The complainant advised both parties had been warned Mcintosh was not allowed on the property. Officers knew there to be a valid protective order between Mcintosh and the male resident, Davis. Davis answered the door. He initially said Mcintosh was not there. Davis then allowed officers in to search for Mcintosh, and he said she was in the bathroom.

Mcintosh and Davis were both detained until the protective order was confirmed as valid.

OPINION Reflections

As we grow older, we’re sometimes forced to view ourselves through the eyes of young people.

Granted, they might have a false impression of our abilities, but, when we rather suddenly reach the “really senior” stage in our lives, we may need to pay attention to how others see us.

I am determined to listen if and when my family gives me the word that I need help, but for now, we’re approaching my advancing years with humor. My kids and grandkids are amused at things I do that reminds them I’m getting older. For instance, I have begun arriving at events quite early. My daughters, not wanting to waste any time, arrive at the very last minute – and sometimes past the very last minute. However, I like to arrive 30 minutes early for such things as picking up my granddaughters from school.

In other words June Bower

It relieves any worry that I will somehow get delayed and cause a grandchild to panic that she’s been forgotten by grandma. It also has a significant advantage: I can park very close to where I need to be and I won’t have to walk too far.

It has nothing to do with laziness; it’s because, as with many seniors with arthritis, it often hurts to walk at all.

Young people might assume that senior citizens arrive early at dinners and pancake feeds because they’re either really hungry or worried the food will run out. They are mistaken. Seniors arrive early so

they can park close by, in a place that will be easy to get out of, and hopefully leave without backing into someone.

Another thing young people don’t realize is that many seniors can be very patient and really don’t mind waiting. Some of us always read a book to pass the time and others just enjoy watching the rest of the people arrive.

Something else that amuses my grandchildren is my lack of expertise with technology. They just accept it when they have to help me get out of a jam on my computer.

They just assumed they’d have to set up my iPhone, and that I’ll never learn to use half the things the phone would do for me.

Recently, my iPhone suddenly informed me I couldn’t text or Google because I wasn’t connected to the internet. Since I don’t know how to connect to the internet in

the first place, I have no idea how I got disconnected. Fortunately, I was visiting my son in Dubuque who looked at my phone a few seconds and said, “Mom, you’ve got it on “airplane mode.”

Obviously, I hadn’t gone to Dubuque by plane, so it’s a mystery as to how it happened. When I later told my 17-year-old granddaughter that I hadn’t responded to her text because my phone was on airplane mode, she just smiled and shook her head a little. I wasn’t offended; we both discovered long ago I’m basically illiterate when it comes to any kind of technology.

My family is also adjusting to my reluctance to join them in a day of shopping. I’ve gone from being the one who drove us to the city to shop all day long at our favorite stores, to the one who sat on the couches as the others roamed

through the mall, to now being the one who doesn’t want to go to the mall at all. Obviously, not every senior is like me, and I’m sure some still love to shop. As for me, I’ve reverted back to the girl who never really cared about shopping in the first place.

Maybe that’s what really happens when we become advanced in age; we revert back to our true selves.

I was always someone who reflected a lot on what life was about and what my future might hold. In my younger days I reflected with anticipation, and a little fear, wondering if my future was going to be bright enough to satisfy me.

Now, I’m reflecting with acceptance and, yes, a little fear, and wondering how much of a future I still have. And strangely enough, with more satisfaction than I ever could have imagined.

Secret Service adopted a new policy last week HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Hillary Clinton survived the House Benghazi Committee hearing Thursday in grand style. She out-lectured her GOP interrogators and just wore them down.

After listening to Hillary for eleven hours, the House Republicans voted unanimously to honor Bill Clinton with a statue in the Rotunda.

Hillary Clinton went through eleven hours of grueling questioning before the House Benghazi Committee in the Capitol Thursday. She ended up getting a lot of sympathy from Americans who watched on TV. Every Thanksgiving we all go home and face our own personal Benghazi Committees.

Hillary e-mailed that Benghazi was a terror attack the night it happened but she got away with blaming it on an anti-Muslim video. House Republicans could catch Obama in a motel room with a gun in his hand, a dead intern on

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

the floor and fifty million in Chinese gold, and they’d still blow it.

Bill Clinton made a rare campaign appearance with Hillary onstage in Iowa over the weekend where they enjoyed big crowds.

The couple works well in tandem.

While Hillary works to capture the woman’s vote, Bill campaigns for the other woman’s vote and between them that’s a lot of women.

The Secret Service adopted a new policy which allows them to track the cell phones of suspects without obtaining a warrant. It’s about time. This will aid Secret Service agents when they’re overseas and they’re trying to track down hookers who sold them baby powder and stole their wallets.

Creston. We need to continue to be the regional center of southwest Iowa, and I believe that Warren Woods is the overwhelming choice to keep and enhance this position.

Creston

The re-election of Mayor Warren Woods makes sense for Creston. During his time in office, Warren has accomplished a great deal and has plans to accomplish much more. Here is a sample of what he has accomplished to date: - Saved the lowana Hotel.

- Turned Cottonwood Street into a safe road.

- With the Southern Iowa Council of Governments grant writing team, secured nearly $3 million to improve our sewer system.

- Has instituted a rental housing inspection ordinance.

- Has created and maintains a city website: crestoniowa.gov thereby saving the city thousands of dollars

in start-up and maintenance fees.

- Responsible for establishing a local government Historic Preservation Commission that can apply for grants.

- Is a strong supporter of the arts in our community.

- Sought a $75,000 grant to improve lighting (and saving energy costs) in uptown Creston.

Warren is a dedicated Mayor and recently completed a one year term as the president of the Iowa League of Cities. Creston residents are very lucky to have a candidate with extensive business management experience: - 25 years management of Sernett Department Store - 12 years sales and marketing with Gits Manufacturing Co. - Four years as a Creston City

Council member - Eight years as Creston mayor Warren’s motto for our future is “Promoting a Positive Creston.”

His continuing plan to tear down dilapidated housing will certainly help our image as the hub of southwest Iowa. Street repair is high on his “to do” list for his next term as are other projects like condos and townhouses on Cottonwood, Lincoln School apartments and townhouses, depot restoration and more assisted living.

I strongly urge Creston citizens to vote for Warren Woods for mayor. I truly believe he has the knowledge, dedication and love of our community to carry our town to bigger and greater accomplishments.

We like to hear from you!

back.”

More than 42 million viewers tuned in when Rock hosted the show in 2005, compared to 37 million for this year’s telecast Rock is the only nonwhite Oscar host since that appearance 11 years ago.

The film academy has visibly increased its diversity outreach efforts since it was derided earlier this year for its all-white slate of acting nominees.

Hollywood is “a white industry. Just as the NBA is a black industry,” Rock wrote in a much-discussed essay late last year. He said that even though some things are changing — “not only are black movies making money, they’re expected to make money” — there are still too few people of color

on both sides of the camera.

In an interview, Hudlin and Hill said the essay didn’t factor into their decision.

“Chris does tend to speak the truth,” Hill said. “That didn’t bother us one little bit. Why should it?”

“The intelligence that fuels Chris Rock’s humor is the thing that attracts us,” Hudlin said. “The fact that he is, at this point in his career, a complete industry veteran — as a performer, as a writer, as a producer as a director — in feature films and documentary. He’s our idea of the perfect host.”

Last year, Rock wrote, directed and starred in the feature “Top Five.” In 2009, he produced, wrote and starred in the documentary “Good Hair.”

Gourley birthday card shower planned LENOX — The family of Phyllis Gourley is hosting a card shower in honor of her 80th birthday.

Cards may be sent to her at 108 E. Kansas St., Lenox, IA 50851.

Rock has won four Emmy Awards for his comedy series and specials. He recently directed the comedy special “Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo” for HBO. He created and produced the TV series “Everybody Hates Chris,” which aired from 2005 to 2009. Hudlin directed the pilot episode.

Rock’s other acting credits include the “The Longest Yard,” ‘’Lethal Weapon 4” and the “Madagascar” animated movies. He also appeared on Broadway in 2011 and was a “Saturday Night Live” cast member from 1990 to ‘93.

So with the host in place, what’s next on the Oscar todo list?

Joked Hill: “Drinks on Friday night!”

Trump says his father gave him a ‘small’ $1 million loan ATKINSON, N.H. (AP) — How a b o u t some humility, Donald Trump?

At a rare town hall event Trump Monday for a man who goes for big rallies, some potential voters wanted to see a common touch from the tower-building billionaire in his quest for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

He said in reply that he ate at McDonald’s on Sunday, often drives himself and got started in business with a “small loan” of $1 million from his dad.

The event, a televised town hall broadcast live on the “Today” show, brought together about 125 registered voters in a country club ballroom. The intimate environment was a rarity

for the GOP front-runner, who has generally eschewed small events in favor of rallies drawing thousands of rowdy and loyal backers.

While a handful of questions addressed Trump’s policy positions, many focused on his persona as a brash TV entertainer and whether he possessed the ability to come back down to earth.

“I know a lot of people would really want to vote for you if only you would eat a piece of humble pie once in a while,” said one woman, an undecided registered Republican, who asked Trump whether he had any weaknesses he might share.

“Well I’d like to do that,” Trump responded, “but then I’d expose the weaknesses to Putin and everybody else and we don’t want to do that, right?” He was referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Another questioner,

identified as an undecided Republican, asked Trump whether, with the exception of his family, he’d ever been told “no.”

“I mean, my whole life really has been a ‘no,’” Trump said. “And I fought through it.” Trump is the son of a successful real estate developer who gave him seed money to begin investing in Manhattan real estate.

“It has not been easy for me,” Trump added. “And I started off in Brooklyn, my father gave me a small loan of $1 million. I came into Manhattan and I had to pay him back, and I had to pay him back with interest.”

Host Matt Lauer quickly noted that most voters would not consider $1 million a small amount.

Unlike 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney, Trump has fully embraced his wealth in the campaign trail, often bragging about his riches, to little ill effect.

Still, Trump did show some signs of relatability in talking about his recent fastfood stop and his tendency to get behind the wheel.

During a commercial break, Trump half-jokingly protested the fact that so many of the questioners were undecided. He said he wanted to hear from some backers.

Trump was also pushed for more specifics. One attendee, a student at Saint Anselm College in nearby Manchester, said he felt that Trump’s campaign has been “based more on talking points than substance.”

“Do you have a specific plan for how to bring our economy back, or should middle class voters just elect you because your name’s Trump?” the student asked.

Trump was unapologetic.

“Well I think they should,” he said, “because I built a great company.”

Chris Rock brings talent, truth to Oscar telecast LOS ANGELES (AP) — Chris Rock had to audition for his role as this season’s Oscar host.

“His audition was actually at the 77th Academy Awards, where he was, to my mind, absolutely brilliant,” says David Hill, who is co-producing the Oscar telecast with Reginald Hudlin. “He was the first name we had on our list, and we went after him. He very graciously agreed to do it, so we’re thrilled.”

Hill and Hudlin announced Wednesday that Rock will helm the 88th Oscar ceremony on Feb. 28 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The 50-yearold Rock posted a photo of himself with an Oscar statuette on Twitter with the caption, “Look who’s

A not-so-friendly email Dear Heloise: You were correct to warn about the NIGERIAN COMPUTER SCAMS. The other “biggie” is the email from someone you know, saying they are in Europe with no passport, no credit cards, etc. I got this from a friend who is a “road warrior” and constantly travels all over the world, so it was a possibility.

I wrote back: “Dear Paul, I’ll be glad to send some money. Just tell me where we met and who was there.” It was a question I knew he could answer, and one that asked for information not in any file on his computer. Sure enough, the scammer never contacted me again. — Michael R., Kenosha, Wis. Oh yes, the “Help, I’ve been robbed, no passport, money, etc.” trick! But hey, I have access to a computer? And some information on how you can send me money? Yep, I’ve gotten them, too. Here is what I do: I copy and paste the email into a new one, send it to my friend (who is NOT out of the country) and say, “You’ve been hacked!”

REALLY, folks, think about it. Wouldn’t your friend call, even if collect? I know I sure would. — Heloise P.S.: DO NOT become a victim of this type of scam.

Stop and think!

Hints from Heloise PUMPKIN DECORATIONS Dear Heloise: Through the years, I have collected several artificial jack-o’-lantern pumpkins to decorate with.

After Halloween, I turn them around and enjoy them with some additional Thanksgiving decorations. — Deb, via email SAFEKEEPING Dear Heloise: Don’t toss old eyeglass cases. I have a garage-door opener and wanted to keep it out of view. It fit perfectly into an old glasses case. I also have a portable cellphone charger in my purse. I slipped it and the cords into an old eyeglass case, and I can always find it.

— Joan H., an Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald reader in Iowa JEWELRY ORGANIZER Dear Heloise: I love jewelry. I have a lot and have wanted to organize it on trays, label it and be more efficient at finding the jewelry I am looking for. I had an epiphany: I had inherited an antique music stand, solid oak with seven shelves inside (to shelve sheet

music).

I used insulated foam picnic trays lined with felt, and voila! I started separating and grouping the sets (silver/ pearls/turquoise/costume) onto the felt. There was room for one tray and one ice-cube tray on each shelf. — Corrinne B., Universal City, Texas STORING CANDLES Dear Heloise: I love to burn votive candles, and I stock up when they’re on sale.

I use strawberry containers to store them. Most hold seven to eight, and since they are plastic, I can see what scents I have. They are small enough that I keep one in each room where I might want to burn a candle.

I use raspberry containers to hold scented tarts — they are see-through but flat. — BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker Reba B., via email Good hint, but please don’t burn one and leave a room! — Heloise Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O.

Horoscope Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a tricky day because, in one way, it’s a lovely day for business and commerce.

Nevertheless, it’s a poor day to make important decisions or to spend money.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today the Moon is in your sign dancing beautifully with the other planets, which is why you feel energetic, charming and hospitable to everyone.

Enjoy sports, flirtations and playful times with children.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) If you can cocoon at home today or relax among familiar surroundings, you will like it.

Enjoy interactions with family members.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a warm day for friendships and schmoozing with others, especially female acquaintances.

Someone might inspire you with respect to writing, sales or teaching.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Personal details about your private life, especially financial details, might be made public today. Perhaps others are commenting on a recent purchase?

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) It’s important to try to do something different today. Go someplace you’ve never been before, because you want adventure and a chance to learn something new.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Although your focus is on shared property, inheritances and other people’s wealth, this is a poor day to make important decisions regarding these matters. Just do your homework.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others, because today, the Moon is opposite your sign. In two weeks, when it’s in your sign, people will go more than halfway to meet you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Cut yourself some slack today, especially at work, because shortages and delays are likely. It’s not a big deal, so just go with the flow today.

Postpone important decisions until tomorrow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might develop a crush on someone from another culture or a different country.

Alternatively, you might want

to make exciting travel plans.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A family member might be generous to you today, or someone might help you improve your home in some way. Take note: This is a poor day to spend money on anything other than food, drink or gas.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a creative day for writers, teachers, actors and anyone in sales and marketing.

Just dabble with your wonderful ideas, but postpone import-

ant decisions until tomorrow.

YOU BORN TODAY You are well-prepared for whatever you choose to do. You know a lot because you are naturally curious. Something drives you to try to understand how things work. You have high standards for yourself and those who are closest to you. This year is the beginning of a fresh, new nine-year cycle for you. Open any door! Start a new business activity.

SPORTS Panthers begin 15th playoff with familiar trip District champ Harlan hosts No. 4 seed Creston/O-M

Rather than head east to take on No. 1-ranked Pella, or north to district champs Webster City or Gilbert, the Creston/O-M Panthers will tangle with a familiar foe Wednesday night to open their 15th playoff season since 1985.

No. 5 ranked Harlan (81) emerged from a threeway tie for first place in Class 3A District 8 as the No. 1 seed based on the tiebreaker points system, with Dallas Center-Grimes (7-2) and Glenwood (8-1) also finishing 5-1 in district play. Harlan finished its regular season with a 49-7 victory over ADM, while Glenwood handed DC-G its first district defeat, 127.

So, the Panthers will travel to Merrill Field in Harlan for a 7 p.m. kickoff Wednesday night to begin the final season in Iowa of 32 teams (four from each district) qualifying for the playoffs. Beginning in 2016, only 16 teams will qualify in each class.

“If they were the number one, it had to be us, because there were no other teams within the 125mile limit as a four seed for them to play,” Creston coach Brian Morrison said.

On the way to winning the district title, coming off a 3-6 season in 2014, the Cyclones raced to a 59-21 victory in Creston on Oct. 9. After holding a 2414 halftime lead, Harlan took control with a 21-0 third quarter.

In that game, Chase Shiltz rushed for 167 yards

Panthers push on Without middle blocker, Creston sweeps Carlisle

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews. com

A PE class mishap sent Creston coach Polly Luther scrambling on Friday, and she was pleased with the results Monday night as the Panthers successfully opened Class 4A Region 3 play.

Without 6-foot senior middle blocker Angie Sorensen, Creston’s re-

vamped lineup dispatched Carlisle in straight sets, 2519, 25-17, 25-13.

Carlisle bowed out at 9-21. Creston (15-10) advances to a quarterfinal match 7 p.m. Thursday at 15th-ranked Norwalk (2510).

On the other side of the bracket, sixth-ranked Lewis Central (30-5) got past 12th-ranked Glenwood Please see VOLLEYBALL, page 8A

On this 31-yard carry late in the first quarter, Creston/O-M junior Chase Shiltz became the school’s all-time leading rusher. He surpassed the 2,920 career yards compiled by Luke Neitzel in 2009-12. Shiltz ran for 340 yards in two quarters Friday, and leads Class 3A with 1,864 yards and 29 rushing touchdowns. His career total is currently 3,114 yards.

on 16 carries, but the Panthers were outgained 597356 in total yards. Junior running back Nick Tarney ran for 248 yards and four touchdowns, including a 73-yard TD scamper.

Through the air, quarterback Kyle Juhl — injured for much of 2014 — was accurate on 13-of-17 passing for 263 yards and three TDs. Josh Cheek had three catches for 99 yards and Dillon Sears had seven catches for 94 yards.

Big plays ballooned the score. Creston/O-M, meanwhile, had some success in its ball control offense — rushing for 256 yards — but was just 6-of-16 passing for 100 yards and one interception. Chris Foster, who had two long re-

ceptions Friday against Atlantic, caught a 40-yard TD pass f r o m M o r i t z Foster Johannknecht against the Cyclones.

Defensive key

The teams were nearly even in number of plays in the first meeting, but Morrison said Harlan gained huge chunks of yardage too many times to flip field position against the Panthers.

“We have to eliminate the big play,” Morrison said.

“They scored probably four touchdowns on one or twoplay drives. We have to make them drive the field and earn

it and not give up the big run play. We have to be sound up front with our front eight.”

Juhl and his corps of receivers are dangerous, but stopping Tarney and the Cyclone ground game will be the priority, Morrison said.

That, and better technique on pass defense.

“The biggest thing with them is, you have to stop the run,” Morrison said. “The quarterback is going to get his (passing) yards.

Murray takes on undefeated Moravia

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

MORAVIA — When Murray takes the field here 7 p.m. Wednesday, the 3-6 Mustangs will try to do something no one else has been able to do this year — beat undefeated Moravia.

The Mohawks, district champions in Eight-Man District 6, feature a balanced offensive attack with several capable runners and an explosive passing game.

Trevor Cormeny, a 5-11, 160-pound senior, leads

the team with 607 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, averaging 8.2 yards per carry. Sam Clouse, a 5-7, 160-pound senior, has rushed for 468 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 8.8 yards per carry. Nick Martin provides a big-play threat out of the backfield, averaging 18.9 yards per carry on 13 carries.

“They’ve got a good offensive line in front of them,” Murray head coach Taylor Fulton said. “They do a lot of pulling, a lot of misdirection. They’re quick.

They like to get their guards

Playoff rematch for Eagles

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

TABOR — East Union faces a familiar foe here 7 p.m. Wednesday in the first round of the Eight-Man playoffs.

The Eagles, 3-seed from District 7, travel to 10thranked Fremont-Mills, 2-seed from District 8, for the second straight year in the first round. The Knights knocked off East Union 53-20 in the first round last year on their way to a runner-up finish.

“We’ve been to Fremont before. It’s the same path we took last year, very familiar for us,” East Union co-coach James Hardy said. “We have a lot of game film on them at this point. The schemes and things they like to do, we’re very familiar with. I’d like to think we’re ahead of the game, for sure, from where we were last year.”

Sam Phillips, who took over at quarterback after Jason Rusten was injured

early in the season, has played sparingly the past two weeks after being injured against Lenox.

Phillips is expected to return to his quarterback post on Wednesday. He has completed 49.0 percent of his passes for 755 yards and 13 touchdowns with three interceptions. He also leads the team with 783 rushing yards and 14 carries on 97 carries.

Senior Parker Powers and freshman Jaeger Powers both have the ability to break loose for a big play any time they touch the ball. Jaeger Powers is the second-leading rusher with 267 yards on 43 carries and averages 26.3 yards per kickoff return. Parker Powers has 458 receiving yards and 11 TDs with five interceptions on defense, two punt returns for touchdowns and one kickoff return for a touchdown, averaging 32.6 yards per kickoff return.

outside and move the play.

We’ll need some exceptional play from Dylan Callstrom and Bryce Keller on the edge.”

Senior quarterback Briar Cochran has completed 51.7 percent of his passes for 1,054 yards and 24 touchdowns, compared to just three interceptions. Avery Waybill, a 6-0, 165-pound senior, has been the main target this year with 21 catches for 554 yards and 12 touchdowns, averaging 26.4 yards per catch. Jake Martin is another big-play threat with 13 catches for 291 yards

and eight touchdowns, averaging 22.4 yards per catch.

“We hope to get a good rush on their quarterback,” Fulton said. “He doesn’t carry the ball too often. He likes to throw when he has the opportunity. We have to get pressure on him, otherwise if he has time to sit back and throw, he’s fundamentally sound. Those receivers make you pay in the open field.”

Defensively, Cormeny leads the team with 73.5 total tackles, while Alex Cloyed has nine solo sacks.

Raiders prepare for rivalry rematch

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — There won’t be any secrets here Wednesday when Class A ninth-ranked Mount Ayr hosts Bedford in the first round of the playoffs, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m.

It will mark the third time in the past 13 months that Mount Ayr has faced Bedford, the Raiders’ oldest rival.

Mount Ayr won the regular season game 41-13 on Oct. 2.

“It’s certainly helpful with the time table we have here in the first round,” Mount Ayr co-coach Delwyn Showalter said about facing a familiar foe. “We don’t have to spend much time going over film. We know what they’re going to do. The flip side is they know what we’re going to do. We don’t gain any advantage, but I think it reduces the stress level and makes the week go a little more smoothly.”

Bedford showed a will-

ingness to throw the ball in Friday’s 20-0 win over Nodaway Valley, but the Bulldogs (6-3) want to run the ball.

Justin Folkerts leads the team with 795 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 108 carries. Clay Cox adds 706 yards and 10 TDs on 123 carries. Sam McMillin has 440 rushing yards and Sawyer Andresen has 340 yards and five TDs. Mount Ayr will have to slow down that powerful rushing attack to pick up another victory over Bedford.

“I think we have to do a good job of attacking blocks. That was something the first time we didn’t do a real good job of early,” Showalter said. “We tried to go around blocks. We need to go through the blocker.

They’re going to pull linemen. We have to attack those pulling linemen. Up front, our defensive linemen have to jam their pulls. Our backers have to really attack Please see RAIDERS, page 8A

secondary with eight interceptions, while Cormeny has four of his own.

F o r M u r ray, Jack J o n e s leads the team with 885 rushing yards and 13 Jones touchdowns.

Fulton said the Mustangs hope to spread the field, giving Jones and Dustin Teas a chance to get into open space to make de-

fenders miss.

“We need to get Jack Jones and Dustin Teas into one-on-one situations and hopefully match Bryce Keller up and use his size to our advantage in the passing game,” Fulton said.

Joshua Barber leads the Mustang defense with 84.5 total tackles and 16 tackles for loss. Teas and Jones have each intercepted four passes.

Lenox hosts Sabers

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

LENOX — Undefeated Eight-Man District 8 champion Lenox kicks off its journey to the UNI-Dome here Wednesday against the 4-seed from District 6, Twin Cedars.

In order to advance and keep the team’s Dome hopes alive, Lenox must play better than it has in the past two weeks.

“Even the kids, they’ll say, especially this last Friday night, we didn’t play up to our expectations,” head coach Allen Dukes said. “We gave up a couple of big pass plays the other night. Tackling, of course, that’s key in every game.

You just have to make better decisions and know where the guy is and go get him.”

Fifth-ranked Lenox can’t afford to give up big pass plays on Wednesday.

The Sabers employ a two-quarterback system, with Trace Embray han-

dling the bulk of the duties (942 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and nine interceptions) and Nick Haselhuhn (269 yards, four TDs and two interceptions) seeing playing time, as well.

Senior David Williams leads the team with 28 catches for 581 yards and 11 touchdowns, averaging 20.8 yards per catch. Jake Knox is another big-play threat, averaging 24.2 yards per catch.

Sophomore Dakota Pinegar adds 17 catches for 251 yards and is the leading rusher for the Sabers with 989 yards and 14 touchdowns on 124 carries. Embray adds 424 yards and eight TDs on the ground.

“They’re a pretty good ball team. They throw the ball pretty well,” Dukes said. “They do a lot of bubble screens on both sides. No. 28 (Williams) is the leading receiver. No. 22 (Pinegar) is the leading Please see LENOX, page 8A

we have to keep the ball in front of us. They have kids who can run at receiver.

He throws it, and they run under it. We have to make sure we play the ball better, and not just play guys. Be in good shape when the ball is thrown, and then go get the ball.”

Harlan ranks second only to top-ranked and defending state champion Pella on offense, scoring just over 43 points per game.

Offensively, the Panthers appear to be on a roll, and they’ll need to be against the 3A fifth-ranked defense (13.1 points allowed per game). Creston/O-M showed good ball control in a 31-20 loss to DC-G and outgaining Atlantic 574-139 last week with most of that in the first half in building a 57-22 lead, which enacted the mercy rule running clock for the final two quarters. And, much of the first half was played in a driving rainstorm.

“We had success offensively against Dallas Center, we just had the same problem in giving up the big play,” Morrison said. “I thought our guys did a good job Friday against in Atlantic in those conditions. We were running the ball and we were efficient passing, at 5-of-7 for three touchdowns.

“Our offense had opportunities against Harlan last time,” Morrison continued.

“We left points on the field, based on penalties and getting into situations where it was third and long, second and long, where it’s tough to convert against a good team.

Our special teams did well, and we have to continue that and make sure we have really good field position, and make them earn it.”

In the Atlantic game, Shiltz became Creston/OM’s career rushing leader as a junior with 3,114 yards, surpassing Luke Neitzel’s 2,920 ending in 2012. Shiltz also has the single-season mark with his 1,864 this season that leads Class 3A,

along with his 29 rushing touchdowns. Harlan’s Tarney has 1,112 and 16 TDs, and Juhl has passed for 1,283 yards and 17 touchdowns.

“Atlantic wasn’t strong up front and our guys up front, they could be one of the better offensive lines ever at Creston, with their development over the next year,” Morrison said.

“Chase is good because he has good vision, and he competes. He’s not elite fast, but when he breaks it, he can go the distance. He’s physical, great balance and he’s an athlete. Tarney is a good, physical back for them, too.”

Bladt on rematch

Harlan coach Curt Bladt doesn’t expect Wednesday’s game to be as lopsided as the first meeting.

“These (Creston) guys can lean on you and pound you, so it’s going to be a tough one, no doubt about that,” Bladt told the Harlan News Advertiser. “Our guys know how tough they are. Some of the

“We’re going to have to identify and tackle their key athletes,” Hardy said.

“Sometimes you can’t see on film or measure up as well on film how quick they are, Hardy what their tendencies are. They’ll feel it out when they get across the line from them. We have to settle in quickly and get to work right away. We have to flow quickly to the ball like we did Friday night.”

and pile up the play by using the blocker to stop it.”

Joel King is 24-of-42 passing for 337 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions since taking over at quarterback for injured senior Hunter Russell. Folkerts is the leading receiver with 12 catches for 167 yards. Wyatt Dillon and Max McMillin each have seven catches and two TDs, with Dillon averaging 23.3 yards per catch.

Mount Ayr, meanwhile, has opened up the passing game in recent weeks. Senior Jacob Taylor has completed 45.2 percent of his

Hardy said one key for East Union will be getting its ground game on track. Senior Mike Ward was held to just 55 rushing yards Friday against Coon Rapids-Bayard. But in last year’s playoff loss to Fremont-Mills, he picked up 110 yards and a touchdown.

He leads the Eagles with 1 , 6 9 7 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns, averaging 7.7 yards per carry on 221 Ward rushing attempts.

Ryan Collins adds 386 rush-

ing yards and six TDs. Sanden Cheers has become the main passer in East Union’s two-quarterback system, completing 46.8 percent of his passes for 503 yards and five touchdowns with five picks. Mason Gossman leads the team with 26 receptions for 486 yards and five TDs. Beau Boswell leads the team with 70.5 total tackles, while Kyle Seales adds 70 tackles with four solo sacks.

Tyler Kelley has five solo sacks.

passes for 622 yards and seven TDs with six interceptions.

He also leads the team with Taylor 534 yards and 14 TDs on the ground.

“I think it adds another dimension and makes it a lot more difficult for the defense to be able to stop us,” Showalter said. “Since we played them that first time, we’ve also seen Jacob add another facet to his game.

He’s become much more aggressive with his runs.”

Kyle Dolecheck (494

yards, six TDs), Cal Daughton (457 yards, seven TDs) and Nick Wurster (307 yards, two TDs) give the Raiders plenty of options on the ground.

Defensively, the Raiders are led

by Logan Stark’s 42.5 total tackles and 17 solo tackles for loss. Caleb Stark Schnoor adds 42 total tackles.

LENOX: rusher. They like to get the ball to those two guys any way they can. They both have speed.”

Another challenge for the Tigers will be controlling the line of scrimmage. Dukes estimated guard Jake Crozier at about 280 pounds, with center Jessy Cranston at about 240 pounds. Crozier also plays nose guard.

“He bull rushes,” Dukes said. “Our line has to step up and block so Carson (Cline) has time to throw. It’s going

to be a game of turnovers, I think. Whoever creates the most turnovers or gets better field position is going to benefit.”

Cline has completed 49.1 percent of his passes for 1,095 yards and 21 touchdowns with just three interceptions. He also leads the team with 558 rushing yards and 10 TDs. But it’s a balanced rushing attack with Jared Hensley (551 yards, 11 TDs) and Sam Donaldson (535 yards, 11 TDs). Hensley leads the team with 465 receiving yards and seven TDs. Spencer Brown

adds 285 receiving yards and six TDs. Hensley leads the team with 62 total tackles, while Brown and Josh Mitchell each have 52.5 total t a c k l e s . Hensley Brown has recorded 14 solo sacks.

Life is back to normal in Harlan after missing the 2014 postseason.

“It’s a good feeling to be back and playing beyond the regular season,” Bladt said.

“The kids have done a great job — 8-1 is not bad.”

Morrison said his team is healthy, including the return of starting nose guard Ryan Brown from an illness last week. Receiver Gavin Woods was injured in a JV game and Morrison said he has been “day to day” regarding his availability. He said the team has made good use of its limited preparation time.

Sorensen’s sprained ankle Friday led to some shuffling in the Panther lineup, and Luther said Sorensen’s status for Thursday is “undetermined.”

“It’s still swollen,” Luther said. “We’ll have to wait and see. Once we have a few more rotations with this if Angie is not back with us, and a couple more practices, we can be more comfortable and know where we are attacking.”

Luther moved senior Jenna Taylor from her outside position at the net to the middle, and inserted f r e s h m a n Taylor M e g a n Haley to that right side position. Sophomore Breanna Wallace also played a key role in the Panther blocking force, while Sydney Dunphy and Cayla Maitlen remained part of the net attack.

“Jenna really embraced the time at the net tonight,” Luther said. “Megan gets good touches on blocks. In the rotation, we just tweaked a couple of things and had Breanna where Angie was and Jenna where Breanna was. We had a practice on Friday and a run-through Sunday night.”

Dunphy had a team-high 12 kills Monday night, Taylor added 10 and Maitlen had eight. Wallace had a pair of blocks. Alyssa Higgins and libero Jami Sickels each had 12 digs, with Alli Thomsen contributing 10.

Higgins served four aces with no errors in 21 swings. Higgins

But, the first two sets were highly competitive, and Luther said the Panthers are poised to stage a challenge Thursday night.

Public safety officials discuss FirstNet case studies Last week, the Iowa Statewide Interoperable Communications System Board (ISICSB), in cooperation with Connect Iowa, held an all-day, interactive workshop in Creston. It is designed to further the progress of the First Responders Network Authority (FirstNet) in Iowa. The primary purpose of these workshops is to create a regional interoperability committee (RIC).

The workshops are facilitated events that usually include the election of a chair and vice chair for the RIC and laying the groundwork for how the RIC will interface with the ISICSB. The workshop agenda also includes a series of tabletop exercises to show

how FirstNet will operate to enhance the land mobile radio (LMR) system for integration as part of the overall public safety communications solution.

At the Region 4 workshop, Rob Koppert, 911 services director, Cass County 911 Communications Center, was elected chair of the region.

“The importance of reliable high speed mobile data access in the public safety arena is becoming increasingly more necessary in this world of ours, and I am extremely honored to have been elected as chair of the Regional Interoperability Committee serving 16 counties in southwest Iowa,” said Koppert. “To that end, I

look forward to assisting in the implementation of FirstNet in Iowa—a public safety grade, public safety only mobile data network.”

Also elected was ViceChair Doug Reed, Emergency Management director, Pottawattamie County Emergency Management Agency.

“During an emergency or disaster, communications and data networks are often overloaded,” said Reed.

“Right now, public safety officials have to operate on the same networks as the public.

Dependable and reliable networks are a pivotal factor in delivering rapid, efficient, and effective emergency services during times of crisis. With-

out a public safety network segregated from general public and commercial use, critical communications can be interrupted or delayed when it’s needed the most.”

All disciplines in public safety were represented, including emergency management, hospital/medical, public health and many more. These workshops featured real-life case studies in five breakout and discussion sessions.

Scenarios included an active

shooter, natural disaster and major accident or disaster, among others. This allowed the demonstration of several tools and programs, some of which were unfamiliar to various attendees. The workshop made it possible to discuss mobile applications and the use of remote-controlled devices and how they could be essential in life-saving and recovery missions.

Additional information, including the agenda for the re-

gional workshop and upcoming locations, can be found on the board’s website: https:// isicsb.iowa.gov/meeting-agendas. This is the fourth of six regional workshops to be held across Iowa in the coming weeks.

Prior to these workshops, Connect Iowa completed FirstNet training in all 99 Iowa counties, and the interactive workshops represent the second phase of FirstNet education efforts.
