Casey Ray Welcher, 24, last known address 1106 W. Montgomery St., was charged with attempted murder, first-degree crim-

inal mischief, felony eluding, driving while barred and third-offense operating while intoxicated 11:18 p.m. Tuesday on 205th Street.

According to a Creston Police report, officers observed a blue Chevrolet Trailblazer fail to stop at a

stop sign at the intersection of West Jefferson Street and North Sumner Avenue.

Officers were attempting to conduct a traffic stop for this violation when the vehicle took off at a high rate of speed.

The pursuit went through the southwest side of Cres-

Post-election unity?

WASHINGTON (AP) — With a dozen days left until Election Day, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are refusing to commit to working with each other after the election, putting in question their abilities to heal the country’s wounds after a volatile presidential race.

“I just want to make that decision at a later date,” said Trump, when asked

whether he would cooperate with a Clinton administration. “Hopefully I won’t have to make that decision.” He spoke in an interview broadcast Thursday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Clinton, meanwhile, dodged a question about whether she would meet one-on-one with Trump after the election.

reach out to Republicans and independents, and the elected leadership of the Congress,” Clinton told reporters on her campaign plane Wednesday.

Traditionally, presidential candidates hold a well-publicized meeting in the weeks after the election. While the moment of bipartisanship is often short-lived, the public appearance sends an import-

ant signal to the country that both parties are ready to accept the will of the voters and move forward.

Manuel Allen Silva Jr., 44, 1951 Beechwood Ave., was found guilty of two counts of third-degree sexual abuse, a class C felony, Wednesday afternoon at Union County Courthouse.

“You don’t have to agree on how the sex abuse was proven,” said Assistant Attorney General Laura Roan during the second half of the prosecution’s closing statement. “The facts establish that beyond a reasonable doubt — the credible facts do.”

“The state’s case, ladies and gentlemen, is that a sex act occurred,” said Tim Kenyon, Union County attorney and attorney for the prosecution. “She was unable to move.

She was unable to resist. She Kenyon

Iraq special forces find IS bomb factory, tunnels near Mosul KHAZER, Iraq (AP) — Iraqi special forces east of Mosul probed a network of underground tunnels and uncovered a bomb-making facility on Thursday in a village recently retaken from the Islamic State group as their allies battled the militants in a push toward the city from the south.

Special forces commanders said the operation was

proceeding as planned, but that they were waiting for forces in the south to advance further before resuming their push toward the country’s second largest city, which fell to IS in 2014.

“The operation has not been stopped and is proceeding as planned,” special forces Brig. Gen. Haider Fadhil said.

Death Donald Brown Rochester, Minn.

Donald Brown, 62, of Rochester, Minnesota, formerly of Creston, died Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2016, at Mayo Medical Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Celebration of life services will be 11 a.m.

Saturday, Oct. 29, at Powers Funeral H o m e , junction of high- Brown ways 34 and 25, in Creston. The Rev. Aaron Wager will officiate.

Burial will be in Murray Cemetery in Murray.

Visitation with family present will be from 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday, prior to the service. Memorials can be directed to the family. Military rites will be given by Theodore J. Martens Post No. 1797 of the Creston V.F.W. Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Donald Louis Brown, son of Leland C. Brown and Myrtle Velva (Smith) Brown, was born March 4, 1954, in Leon. Donald attended East Union Com-

munity Schools and later attended Southwestern Community College, receiving extended training in robotics. Don served in the United States Air Force. Early on, Don worked as a manager of Happy Chef in Creston.

On Sept. 1, 1978, Donald Brown married Jotie Lynn Wicks in Des Moines. They settled in Conway, where Don worked as a service technician for Bi State Electronics for seven years. Don later worked as an industrial electrician, first at Wellman Dynamics in Creston and later for West Liberty Foods in Mount Pleasant.

Donald is survived by his wife, Jotie; children, Sarah (Steve) Epperson of Ranson, West Virginia, Joshua (Jennifer) Brown of Ankeny, Bethany Brown (significant other Luke Wayman) of Des Moines and Jordan Brown (Branden Wager) of Rochester, Minnesota; 10 grandchildren; two great-granddaughters; brother Richard (Janet) Brown of Creston and sisters, Mary Anderson of Bovey, Minnesota, and Margaret Hawxby of Bland, Missouri.

Donald was preceded in death by his parents, Leland and Myrtle Brown.

West Adams and Cottonwood intersection currently open According to Kevin Kruse, Creston Public Works director, at the present time, the West Adams Street and Cottonwood Road intersection

is open to one-lane traffic.

However, the intersection will close again Monday and Tuesday for storm-sewer installation.

SILVA:

Silva will be held on no bond until 9:30 a.m. Dec. 9, when a sentencing hearing will occur at the courthouse. The hearing will occur after a standard pre-sentencing investigation and the opportunity for Silva to file an appeal.

The conviction of third-degree sexual abuse comes with a mandatory prison sentence of up to 10 years because it was a forcible felony. Because there were two counts, there is the possibility the 10-year sentence for each count is consecutive.

There is also a fine of between $1,000 and $10,000 per count.

Also, probation will not be an option.

Silva also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit second-degree theft in 2006. This came after he and another person participated in a theft scheme while Silva was Union County Economic Development Association director from August 2002 to August 2004.

CONT. FROM | 1A

Tuesday morning, nearly 20 people watched on as Kenyon and Roan argued for the prosecution of Silva, and U.J. Booth, Silva’s lawyer, argued in defense.

After about eight hours of deliberation over the course of two days, a jury of two females and 10 males found Silva guilty of his original charges. Silva pleaded not guilty to the original two sexual abuse counts, with which he was charged in June 2015 on a Union County warrant.

When the verdict was read

by Judge Dustria A. Relph, no major commotion occurred from the audience of about 13 people, including the victim and her family.

Silva hugged his wife, Chelsi, and was then immediately taken into the custody of Union County Sheriff’s Office. Chelsi then repeatedly said the words “Why did you do this to me?” to the victim. The victim and her family were given a police escort out of the courthouse.

Today is Oct. 27, the 301st day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 65 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Oct. 24-30) in history:

10 years ago Roger Clayton, director of Kirk Gros Company construction; Janet Knock, marketing director and board member; Karl Knock, executive vice president and chairman of the board; Annette Boswell, chamber of commerce president; Mike Tameris, Creston mayor; Bob Snodgrass, board member; Dave Driskell, ISSB president; Dale Eklund, board member; and Lee McNichols, board member, all braved the cold temperatures to break ground at the future site of the Iowa State Savings Bank branch located at 504 W. Taylor St. in Creston.

Four Creston High School students participated in the All-State Music Festival at Hilton Coliseum in Ames.

They included Ellen Walker on clarinet, Betsy Johnson on oboe, Nicole Stoll on tenor sax and Meghin Krambeck, selected for orchestra.

20 years ago Harold Hughes, a liberal Democrat who served three terms as Iowa’s governor and one in U.S. Senate, died in Arizona at 74. A former truck driver, Hughes dragged himself from the grip of alcoholism to start a career in politics.

Six Creston High School students were selected to participate in the 277-piece AllState band in 1996. They were Bill Neve on trumpet, Theresa Rooney on clarinet, Amanda late April 2015, text messages were exchanged between Silva and a female victim, who is a family member, about her visiting for smoothies with him and his family. Similar text messages were exchanged about once a month beginning in January 2015.

On the evening of May 28, 2015, the female victim was at the home of Silva. Silva gave the victim a smoothie in a mug, which he observed her consume. After consuming the beverage, the victim became “groggy” and fell asleep on Silva’s couch. She described feeling tired, unsteady and in a dream-like state.

Silva lied beside the victim on the couch, placed his hands down the victim’s pants and inappropriately touched her.

Silva additionally had the victim inappropriately touch him, at which time she pulled away.

These actions by Silva to the

50 years ago A dedication for the new Adams County home, just east of Corning on Highway 34, was held. The modern steel building had facilities for 42 residents and already had 23. Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Brown were the steward and matron of the county home.

Dale Foster, Crestmoor greens-keeper, and Mike Coen, Creston High School senior and employee of the golf club, were busy rolling sod on the greens at the club. A long-range program to build all new greens had been set.

In a bid for peace, President Johnston and his war allies announced they were victim were done without her consent and against her will.

According to Kenyon, the victim told one person part of what happened, and, according to Booth, the victim only told the person Silva touched her leg and made her feel uncomfortable. The victim then kept the events a secret until May 30, 2015, when they were reported to law enforcement.

“The state would like you to believe that (victim’s name) would never falsely accuse someone of sexual assault,” Booth said. “(Victim’s name) was like many young adults who grew up in a dysfunctional home. ... We cannot see into a person’s mind.

We can only see what they choose to reveal.”

prepared to withdraw forces from South Vietnam within six months after their conditions for establishing peace were fulfilled. Winding up the two-day summit meeting, the South Vietnamese regime pledged to hold national elections by the next fall as the other side withdrew its forces to the north, ceased infiltration and violence subsided.

A meeting to organize a Union County Historical Society was held in the basement of the courthouse. More than 200 invitations were sent to organizations and individuals who had expressed interest in preserving articles with historical significance.

The committee was headed

by O.E. Anderson, president, Geraldine Heesel, secretary-treasurer, and Harold Arnold, vice president, and

newly elected board members, Mrs. Richard Hammans of Lorimor, Lee Stalker of Kent, A.V. Boyd of Creston, Fred Day of Afton, Willis Royce of Creston and Mrs. Gerald Scofield of Afton.

Preliminary work for the construction of a new Lenox Community High School building at Lenox began as a water pipe was laid to the site south of the William Nixon home from the town water main. Grading at the site had been done and the basement had been dug by building contractor McCorkle Construction Company of Sac City. There was also a plastic shelter to erect so that work could be done through the winter. The new school was to be 330 feet long and 120 feet wide with brick on the outside and concrete blocks inside.

sion of Criminal Investigation (DCI) resulted in the discovery of waste products from temazepam, oxazepam and lorazepam, all benzodiazepines.

The prosecution and defense both explained the various side effects, drug interaction and half-lives of the drugs in the samples as described during the trial by expert witnesses.

The victim was not on any prescription medication at the time, nor did she claim

she otherwise took any such medication with her knowledge or consent. It was discovered Silva’s wife had been prescribed temazepam and that Silva had access to his wife’s medication.

“Sometimes trash talking victims can be useful. They’re drug users. They’re not truth tellers. This is not one of those cases,” Roan said. “She (the victim) wasn’t safe there. She wasn’t safe at all. ... This case is about a family with secrets.”

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

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

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

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, October 27, 2016

Watch out for all the little goblins this weekend There will be lots of trickor-treaters out this weekend.

Depending on the community you live in, they could be out about any night this coming Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday. The Bright Eyes event at McKinley Park will take place Saturday night with more than 40 businesses participating. It looks like the weather is going to cooperate with highs in the 70s over the next four days. Kids may not have to wear a coat out trick-or-treating. I would guess that most of the older goblins will be out trick-or-treating Friday and Saturday night at their local establishments.

Less than two weeks It seems like it has been a long couple of years of people campaigning for the various positions. I will be glad to see the

presidential campaign come to an end. Between the mainstream media and the candidates, I’ll be glad to get back to some of the “regular” news instead of listening to people throwing mud at each other. So, take some time out and vote. You have 12 days to get your vote cast.

Dark It is pretty dark in the mornings now. Daylight Savings Time ends coming up on Nov. 6. So, we are just a little over a week from more light on the front of the day and less on the back end.

It always feels more like winter

with the ending of Daylight Savings.

Football Several of the local football teams made it into the playoffs.

Creston, Bedford and Lenox will all be playing in the first round of the playoffs Friday night. Hopefully, a couple of the teams will make it into the second round of the playoffs.

Harvest It looks like most of the soybeans are in the bin at this point. But, it looks like more than half the corn is still out in the field. The intermittent rains have slowed a lot of the farmers down. The piles of corn out at the Co-op sure are huge already.

I’m not sure where they are going to put all of this year’s crop.

I’ve heard both the soybeans and corn may have record pro-

duction this year. They got plenty of rain this year, so the crops should be in good shape. Now, if we can get the prices up a bit.

is a good sign. Besides that, the quail numbers also look to be up around the area. Happy hunting!

Cubs

The unemployment figures in the area are still pretty low. The U.S. average is at 5 percent with Iowa ringing in at 4.2 percent.

The counties in our area come in at: Union 3.7 percent, Adams 2.7 percent, Clarke 3.3 percent, Taylor 3.1 percent and Ringgold at 3.6 percent. I guess we need to find some more people for our part of Iowa to fill all the jobs that are still out there. Our biggest problem is still finding people and finding a place for them to live.

We are fortunate to live in a place where there are plenty of jobs.

Thought for the week: “One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing is what we do for others.” – Lewis Carroll

The local Cub fans are going to have a fun week with their team in the World Series. They should have a good chance to win the series this year. Just the sheer excitement of being in the series has many of the Cubs fans in a lather!

More than half the starting lineup played in Des Moines before they made it to the big’s. So many folks around here have had a chance to see them in action.

Hunt This weekend is the opening of pheasant season. I have numerous reports that the number of birds in the area is looking up this year. I’ve seen several when I have been out fishing, which

Sean Hannity ripped Congress for passing Obamacare without reading it first HOLLYWOOD--God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The National Retail Federation predicted a 4 percent increase in retail sales in November and December. We’re cool as long as retail stores don’t jump the gun. If anyone plays Christmas music in October, you are legally allowed to kill them and use their bodies for Halloween decorations.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton spoke in Florida Tuesday and stuck to the issues.

All day there were no Hitler comparisons, no outrage over e-mails, no female accusers and no rumors of serious illness.

Apparently the American people have decided if we ignore them, they might go away.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning kept calling out the name Trump as a play audible during Sunday’s game.

It worked as expected. The offensive line put up such a wall to protect Eli that he wasn’t sacked once, but women’s rights advocates are protesting the way he kept grabbing the center.

Donald Trump rebounded in the polls Tuesday, surviving an onslaught of female accusers.

It’s a motley crew. Porn star Jessica Drake says Trump offered her ten grand to come up to his hotel room, but she turned him down because at the time she was in a committed relationship with a mule.

Grey Goose began an ad campaign called Fly Beyond that tells how the vodka is distilled

from French wheat and sifted with alpine water through champagne-filtered limestone in the South of France. You can always spot people who drink Grey Goose. They stagger out the bar in a V formation.

The National Geographic posted a pre-historic time line showing man has lived on the Earth for one hundred-ninety thousand years. Archaeologists digging in Benedict Canyon recently unearthed fossils proving that cavemen once lived in Beverly Hills. They’re known as the Flintsteins.

The White House admitted Monday that the price of Obamacare premiums is set to jump next year by twenty-five percent. Health care coverage is fast becoming unaffordable.

Warren Buffett, always the first to spot a hot trending stock, just purchased a controlling interest in Christian Science.

Donald Trump seized on the bad news about Obamacare Monday demanding it be replaced by low prices from unfettered insurance company competition. Obamacare gives middle class Americans a clear choice if you want health care coverage. You can sell your house or buy the farm.

NBC News reports more insurance companies will pull out of Obamacare exchanges by

ENTERTAINMENT

Right for the picky?

Dear Readers: Do you have a child or a grandchild who is a PICKY EATER? This can be frustrating for all parties. Here are some hints that can help: * Don’t force the child to eat; this is not a good idea.

Also, don’t barter or debate with picky eaters. Promising candy in return for eating veggies sends the wrong message about food and nutrition. * Act like you don’t care if the child eats the healthy stuff. Of course you care, but if you are constantly nagging, that will backfire. * Sneaking veggies into muffins, cake and bread is a new trend. Be prepared to grate a lot if you try it. * Dips, salad dressings and sauces can help, but these can be loaded with sugar and fat. Read the label, and let ‘em dip, within boundaries. * Line your counters and coffee tables with healthy and fresh fruits, nuts and vegetables in cute containers. Who can resist this?

(But be aware of choking hazards for small children and toddlers.) * Allow the child to participate in meal preparation.

Yes, things will get messy, but this will make for won-

Horoscope For Friday, Oct. 28, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Avoid arguments with authority figures today, because things are just too unpredictable! If you think you see problems coming, give your boss a wide berth.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is an unpredictable day, so be very careful. Travel plans will be canceled or rescheduled. This also is an accident-prone day. Use caution!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Make friends with your bank account, because something unexpected might affect your finances. Surprises related to shared property and inheritances could catch you off guard.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Be patient and diplomatic with partners and close friends in order to avoid fights today.

Everything is up for grabs!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day at work. Computer crashes and equipment breakdowns will interrupt your day. Allow extra time for wiggle room.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is an accident-prone day for your kids, so be vigilant.

This also is a very dicey day for romantic relationships. Be patient with everyone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Domestic strife might occur today, because chaos on the home front puts your nerves on edge. Small appliances might break down, and minor breakages could occur. Have patience.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)This is an accident-prone day, so be careful. Think carefully before you speak or do anything. Things will not unfold the way you expect them to.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)You are unsettled today.

You feel as if you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. That’s because today is a bit of a crapshoot, and everyone feels it.

This is not a day for knee-jerk reactions.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)A friend might surprise you by doing something you least expect. Don’t overreact.

Likewise, a group to which you belong might oppose what you say. Go gently. If you act without thinking, you could lose friends and your reputation.

YOU BORN TODAY You are intelligent and emotionally intense. You are insightful and focused. You have a good eye for detail. It’s

important to know that the year 2017 will be a year of choice for you. You likely will make an important decision. During the first half of the year, reduce your overhead expenses so that you are financially strong later in the year. Happiness is having alternatives.

Year Round, a Better Option?

by KIMBERLY ORR

Is the traditional school calendar the best option or do we need to update our district’s decision?

Creston’s current school calendar is considered traditional. The school has a 3 month (90 day) summer break, a 3 day thanksgiving break, 10 days of winter break, and then a week (5 days) of spring break. A year round school often follows the 45-15 system, students go to school for 45 days then get 3 weeks (15 days) off.

The exceptions for the 45-15 are thanksgiving break, which is still 3 days, and summer break which is 2 months (60 days).

Ms. Smith, a teacher at CCHS said, “I think the word “year

round” gets people worried about being in school longer when they would go to school for the same amount of days. It would give families more chances to go on vacations instead of having to take their students out of school if they wanted to go during the fall, winter, or spring. I believe having year round school would cut down on knowledge lost with a 3 month break.”

The year round system allows students to have more time off and retain information better.

The 60 day summer break doesn’t let students forget as much information as a 90 day. The 45-15 system isn’t the only year round option, there is also the 60-20 option as well as the

Great Teachers at CCHS

By KONNAR SHEPHERD It is very important to have great teachers to teach our students. So what does it mean to be a great teacher? Most students, if asked what they think about school, will tell you that it is boring.

Why is this? Students need interaction. They need to be up and doing things. If a teacher is talking all monotoned and telling the information to the class, that will most likely go in one ear and right out the other. Children and teenagers like humor and things to be interesting.

Mr. Jacobson, a social studies teacher at Creston Community High School, gave some good tips and examples of what makes a good teacher.

Some of these were being passionate about what you are doing. If you have no interest in it, then why are you doing it? Also, it is important to be flexible and understanding. Not every student is on the same learning level and not everyone lives the same life. So it is important to being understanding and be aware of what is going on with your students. A really significant thing is to connect with your students and get to know who they are and what they are about. This can help to better teach them. He also said that it is good to have a sense of humor. “Being a good teacher is not knowing your knowledge. It is about connecting with the student.”- Mr. Jacobson. Alexus Larkin, a student at Creston Community High School explained how she likes, “when a teacher has a good sense of humor and being real and having fun with their students.” It makes her feel like she is more welcomed into the class.

Creston Community High School has a great group of teachers that are really passionate about teaching their students. There are so many different ways of learning that you can get from the teachers at Creston Community High School and they each have their own unique way of teaching.

That is what makes our teachers so great.

Often times people assume the definition of things. What is the definition of a good teacher according to Creston Community High School?

90-30. They work similarly, 60 days in school, 20 off, or 90 days in school, and 30 days off. The 45-15 year round option would be the most beneficial to our school and the students. It would allow students to have days off right when they starting to get tired of school.

These pie charts compare the traditional school calender to year-round.

Expression in Creston

By JENNIFER HUGHES On the first Friday of every month, Creston Arts holds a different form of entertainment for people of the community to enjoy.

A new art exhibit is set on display at the depot from 6 P.M. and is open to the public until 8 P.M. At the same time, Open Mic Night is held at a chosen location, which may vary each month. In the past, Adam’s Street Espresso has been the main host, but this was not a permanent home. Creston Arts member Brian Zackary says the program is hoping to find a more permanent residence in the future. Music has always been a prominent art form and strong tradition in the Creston community, along with the theatre, drama, and speech programs. By starting Open Mic Night, members of the community have a new and free opportunity to get behind a microphone and perform in front of a

Keep Calm and Trick or Treat On

judgement-free crowd. Open Mic Night is a casual and convenient way for the community to get together and express themselves, or even just to have a good time.

Speakers and microphones are provided by the host for anyone who chooses to perform.

Though many perform karaoke at Open Mic Night, there’s no limit on performances.

Poetry is read, scenes are acted out, instruments are played. Many even write and perform original pieces, musical or not. Participation is encouraged, but not required, so you may choose to perform or just be another supportive face in the audience. Many Open Mic participants and attendees are students attending Creston Community High School, but just like performances, ages are not limited either. Passionate and talented people of all ages attend. Zackary, along with everyone involved in Open Mic Night, is proud to be a part of a program that provides people of all ages and skill levels a place to learn from each other and gain new experiences.

by KIERSTEN LATHAM

“Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He’s gotta pick this one. He’s got to. I don’t see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there’s not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see.” - Linus from The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown For many, traditions vary from a child’s first costume of a pudgy pumpkin, to bobbing for apples, or carving pumpkins. From visiting random houses in the neighborhood to fill that new bucket every year, to visiting pumpkin patches and jumping on a wagon for a hayride are also fun October activities. Many people enjoy handing out candy just to see the young children happy.

Although we may not live in a city full of haunted houses, our community tries to make the most of this thriller holiday. A line of anxious little kids are drawn for nearly 2 blocks every year just to take part in Bright Eyes in the Park one evening.

Halloween may include different traditions for many different families, unlike Linus people in Creston won’t be looking for the Great Pumpkin, but they will Celebrate Halloween in there own very special way.

2 Seconds With Some Local CCHS Pumpkins:

“What

about Halloween makes you afraid?”

“I don’t like scary Movies, and I will never watch one.” Said Mrs. Peg Eblen, the Creston High school English I Teacher. She also explained “I don’t like when kids make decisions they normally wouldn’t come upon Halloween.” This year in particular, Mrs. Eblen is uncomfortable about the focus on clowns.

“I know there are small children and teenagers who have legitimate fears about the whole “Clown Scare”.

“Will you be dressing up for Halloween and as what?”

Mrs. Fry is the Art teacher down in the CCHS halls. “I am wanting to be a Werewolf for Halloween, but I haven’t decided yet,” Fry declared, “Also when I am picking out ideas on what I want to be, it really lets me express my passion I have for art, which is always a good thing.”

Devon Buls braves the mic alone on Open Mic Night.

Clowning Around

by SYDNEY MARTIN With the Halloween season rolling in, there are inevitable pranks, some are not serious at all and some are very serious. While some people may think that the clowns are just a prank, some people believe they could be much more dangerous. In 14 different states there have been over 100 clown reports. As of September 26th, only 12 clowns have actually been arrested and charged, now since the Halloween season is rolling around, they have made the statement that it is not safe to wear a clown costume this Halloween, for your safety and those around you.

Even if you think that Creston could be the least of the clowns worries, some people have taken this way too far. A CCHS student had made a twitter page about a clown named Wally, he would post and say to meet up and direct messaged many CCHS students. When the account administrator got discovered, they were required to delete the account. After the account was deleted many CCHS students were scared to even go out at night because of the clown sightings.

Asking around our school, we see many people believe that it’s fading away.

Ms. Smith, a business teacher at CCHS, says “ I think that the more kids sit and obsess about the clowns, the more scared they become of them. They sit and ponder about it so much that it becomes bigger than it actually is.” Many people believe that if you sit and ponder a subject so long they make it become a bigger problem than it should be.

Talking to a few people in our community people think that the clowns are just going to come and go as they please. In the end, no consequences are going to happen, they are clearly harmless. So stay safe and remember to have a spooky, clown-free halloween.

Dubbed “Killer Klowns,” clowns have been terrorizing communities like Creston for the past month.

Familiar foes take to Panther Field Friday

n

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

A week one 28-7 win against the Boone Toreadors was less dominant than nearly every other game on the Creston/Orient-Macksburg regular season schedule proved to be.

In hindsight, that result had less to do with the Panther offense having an off night so much as Boone proving to be a better team than its record of the past two years indicated. The Toreadors won just three total games over the course of 2014 and 2015.

Boone coach Mark Camenisch as an assistant for the Panthers from 1985 to 1990.

Coming into Friday’s 7 p.m. matchup with the Panthers in Creston, Boone sits at 7-2. After the loss to Creston, the Toreadors ripped off seven consecutive wins to head into Webster City with a chance to win the Class 3A District 2 title outright, but instead came away with a shared title.

The Toreadors fell in a close affair, 21-14.

“We’re the only number two seed that is playing at home, which is big time important,” Creston/O-M head coach Brian Morrison

said. “It really is.

The first playoff game is to get the nerves out and to be at Morrison home and do it in front of your home crowd. We’re going to have a huge crowd against a team we know well.”

Now the winner of Friday night’s matchup will take on the winner of Webster City vs. Norwalk.

“They’re a different team, we’re a different team,” senior captain Colton Bolinger said. “We’re going to do different things.

They’re going to come out hot, so we’ve got to stop them and score a lot.”

Lineup juggling This week will feature the biggest shakeup in terms of the starting lineup that Creston/O-M has had this season. Due to lingering injuries to Chase Shiltz’s leg and a concussion to Zach Carlson, several key reserves will be thrust into starting roles, and some juggling is being done with the starting lineup.

“I don’t foresee them (Carlson and Shiltz) playing,” Morrison said. “That being said, tomorrow (Thursday) is a different day.”

Mitchel Swank will start in the backfield for Shiltz. He has 406 yards on the ground and two touchdowns. Cody Crawford and Cole Higgins

will see more reps at wide receiver in place of Carlson.

Junior linebacker Dustin Merritt will get his first varsity start on defense in place of Swank at outside linebacker. Evan Jacobson will move back to safety duty, Cody Crawford will see time at safety, and Higgins will take starting snaps at cornerback.

“Our coaches have prepared not to have t h e m ( S h i l t z Swank and Carlson) on the field Friday night and our kids responded and believed in each other,” Morrison said. “Next man in. We have capable guys who can play running back. We have capable guys who can play in the secondary.”

Last time Creston/O-M’s week one victory over Boone had an odd feel to it. Delayed due to weather, the Panthers slugged it out in slow fashion with the Toreadors. A steady rain fell over Panther Field for nearly the entirety of the game, as the Panther offense scored on its first drive, but didn’t put together a consistent string of drives otherwise. One score even came from the defense, as Kadon Hulett fell on a fumble with Boone backed up to its own end zone.

The Toreadors nearly matched Creston/O-M’s

yardage output (382-352), but did not turn it into points. Both squads lost two fumbles, and Cody Crawford picked off a pass.

Boone offense Boone’s senior quarterback, Tanner Schminke, was the main offensive threat for the Toreadors on opening night, and that has continued throughout the season. He is completing 51.7 percent of his passes for 1,419 yards, 16 touchdowns and just five interceptions.

Schminke remains the team’s top rushing threat

with 926 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground.

The team hits opponents with the run and goes over the top on long pass plays from time to time according to Boone News Republican sports editor Matt DeWitt.

Schminke ran for 132 yards and was the only true rushing threat for the Toreadors when these two teams played the first time.

With the aforementioned defensive changes, stopping big plays has been a big focus in practice this week.

Still growing: Lenox quarterback adapts to new role Tigers prepare for Friday playoff test at Fremont-Mills

n

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

LENOX — Lenox sophomore Carter Still was thrown into a difficult position against Bedford in week eight of the prep football season.

In the days since, he has grown more comfortable in his role as the starting quarterback.

Come Friday night, he will be the starting quarterback of a playoff team.

Lenox opens Eight-player first-round playoff action at Fremont-Mills. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Tabor.

He came off the bench almost as cold as a quarterback can be during the Tigers’ game against the Bulldogs when starting quarterback Dawson Tullberg went down with a broken leg.

“The week before Bedford, the only reps I got was Thursday in practice,” Still said prior to Wednesday’s

practice.

“I came in and did my best to control the game. It was really quick and I wasn’t Still ready for it.”

With a full week of reps under him, Still settled into his new role nicely last week at Lamoni. Still rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns and threw for another 126 and two touchdowns in the Tigers’ 46-38 win, a win that, combined with losses by Stanton and East Union, gave the Tigers a spot in the playoffs.

Still’s confidence grows with each game and each practice.

“He’s good,” said Lenox senior Jared Hensley. “He’s learning every week. He’s coming along good and he’s learning stuff.”

The Tigers have confidence in their young signal caller.

“He’ll do good,” Hensley said.

One area Still is growing at quickly is making reads on the option.

“He’s doing a better job on running the option, the seam or running the alley after they take the dive back,”

said Lenox coach Matt Malausky. “When you run the seam or alley, he’s doing a better job.”

Still’s picking up more and more nuances of the offense each day.

“He still has some things to learn,” Malausky said.

“At the same time, he’s improving.”

Still has handled a difficult situation well.

“That’s something that’s got to be hard, learning on the fly in a pressure situation,” Malausky s a i d .

“He’s doing a better job r u n n i n g Malausky the option game.”

Lenox’s option attack will have to be running at full power against a potent Fremont-Mills squad.

“They’re big and physical and fast,” Malausky said. “Like i tell the kids, why we run the option is to control the game clock a little bit and keep the ball on our end a little bit longer.

It’s the same reason Navy runs what they run against the bigger schools with way more scholarships than they have and that’s why they’re successful.”

If the Tigers run their offense well, they can have an opportunity to stay with the second-ranked Knights.

“That’s the mentality we’re taking: keep the ball, keep it close to them, don’t let it get out of hand and hope to strike at the end and pull off a big upset,” Malausky said.

Maximizing offensive opportunities, unlike what happened in the first meeting when several early turnovers cost the Tigers dearly in a 42-0 loss in week one, will be crucial in the rematch.

“We can’t have any turnovers on our own end,” Malausky said.

Creating turnovers would be a boost for the Tigers as well.

“That’s been tough to do against them, but it doesn’t mean we aren’t going to try and do that and accomplish that. It would mean a better chance for us to win,” Malausky said.

Fremont-Mills comes in at a perfect 9-0. The Knights have scored 42 or more points in each of their nine games, the lowest being the 42 they scored against Lenox in week one. The Knights have scored 509 points, an average of 56.5 points per contest, and allowed only 49 points in nine games, an

Lenox What: Lenox at Fremont-Mills Where: Tabor Time: 7 p.m.

Records: Lenox is 6-3 overall. The Tigers went 5-2 in Eight-player District 6. Fremont-Mills is 9-0. The Knights went 7-0 in Eightplayer District 7.

Last week: Lenox defeated Lamoni 46-38. Fremont-Mills defeated CAM 59-12. average of 5.4 per contest.

Fremont-Mills is winning by an average of 51 points per contest.

The odds are stacked against Lenox. It will take an outstanding effort from the Tigers. Malausky believes the team has it in them to play the perfect game Friday.

The players are equally excited about the opportunity to strap on the pads at least one more time this season come Friday night.

“We’re pumped,” Hensley said. “We’ll see what we can do.”

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

What was Kurt Busch thinking?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Time to update our Chase predictions.

GODSPEAK: Well, my guy, Martin Truex Jr., blew up, so I’m going with Jimmie Johnson.

KEN’S CALL: I’m jumping ship and switching to Denny Hamlin. You squeak through like that, it must be a sign.

Good These were friendlier times question, for Kevin Harvick and Kurt and hardly Busch. AP/BRENT SMITH the first time someone has asked that about Mr. Busch. There’s no particularly good time to push Kevin Harvick’s buttons, but with just four races remaining and a championship at stake, this seems to be a particularly bad time.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM TALLADEGA

What happened?

Kurt was apparently upset with how the final laps played out, and on the “cool-down” lap (naturally) he slammed his car into the side of Harvick’s car.

They’re teammates, you know, which makes this so much more fun for us onlookers. We always knew the teammate angle wouldn’t prevent the inevitable issue between Kurt and other Stewart-Haas racers, but we’re a tad surprised at the timing.

Who needs a hug?

GODSPEAK: Brad Keselowski gets it for leading 90 laps, then making a quick exit with an expired motor at ’Dega.

KEN’S CALL: Truex is the easy and obvious answer, but he’s had a big year. My hug goes to Austin Dillon for the nearmiss to Round 3.

Does running 2nd at Talladega help Brian Scott going forward?

GODSPEAK: Yes sir. His team owner Richard Petty asked Team Penske for more help, and it looks like it has arrived.

KEN’S CALL: No.

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar

Really?

No, not really. You never assume anything regarding the emotions of racecar drivers. And when you’re talking about Harvick and Busch, nothing should surprise you. Needless to say, the Chase just got a lot more interesting. And next up is Martinsville, a cramped little track where it’s extremely easy to get in someone’s way and create instant hard feelings. Stay tuned.

Brad Keselowski wasn’t exactly thrilled to see his Chase go up in smoke at Talladega. AP/RAINIER EHRHARDT

1. You’re out!

2. About Dillon

3. Talladega tale

Racing can be a cruel sport, and Sunday it broke the hearts of four drivers who failed to advance to Round 3 of the Chase playoffs. The list includes Martin Truex Jr. (blown engine), Brad Keselowski (blown engine), Chase Elliott and Austin Dillon, who didn’t finish well enough.

Dillon tied Denny Hamlin on Chase points, but since Hamlin scored the highest finish in Round 2 (third at Talladega), he advanced, and Dillon didn’t make the cut. “It’s heartbreaking, obviously,” he said. “You need a spot, and it comes down to three onethousandths (at the finish).”

Brian Scott nearly had a Cinderella finish at Talladega, which is known for its occasional surprise winner.

Scott finished second to Joey Logano. “I gave it everything I had,” he said. “I mean, if I could have stuck my feet through the floorboard to try and get a little more, I would have done it.”

3 THINGS TO WATCH

Ken Willis has been covering NASCAR for The Daytona Beach News-Journal for 27 years. Reach him at ken. willis@news-jrnl.com

FEUD OF THE WEEK

1. Gibbs go-go Joe Gibbs Racing started the season strong with Denny Hamlin winning the Daytona 500, and is finishing strong.

All four JGR Toyotas made it through to Round 3. Yeah, The Coach was happy. “We lost two of our cars last year in this round,” Gibbs said. “This round … you’ve got to be up front. Next round, you’ve got to win, so the further you go on in this format, now everybody’s geared up.”

2. Who’s left?

Joining the four Gibbs Toyotas (Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch, Hamlin) are two Stewart-Haas Racing Chevy drivers, Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch; Jimmie Johnson of Hendrick Motorsports

LEVERONE

(Chevy); and Joey Logano, the lone Ford driver still active in the playoffs. There are five former NASCAR Cup Series champs in the field who have won 10 titles between them.

Johnson has six of those.

3. Truex tumbles Martin Truex Jr. owned Round 1 by winning two races.

He didn’t have the same luck in Round 2 and exited the playoffs with an exclamation

point when his engine blew apart on Lap 41. “It’s a tough way to go out,” Truex said. He vowed to wreak havoc in the closing weeks of 2016. “It’s part of it and we’ll move on,” he said. “We’re going to go try to win the last five races or whatever is left and have a good end to our season.” It’s four races remaining, by the way.

Smith DARK HORSE: Jeff Gordon DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Johnson, Hamlin and Gordon battle for the win all day long.

Biffle

CASEY MEARS VS. GREG BIFFLE: Mears said his No. 13 Chevy was blindsided by Biffle’s No. 16 Ford. “We were just cruising along there and all of a sudden just got taken out,” Mears said.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: In Biffle’s defense, he was clipped by another car, and that caused him to smear Mears, who was upset because he spent time running among the top-10 pack part of the day.

“We’ve been making plays all year and against Carroll we had zero turnovers and we had kids in position,” Morrison said.

“And that’s the difference, give explosive plays to them and not create turnovers, you get beat by a lot of points typically against good teams.”

Mason Hulse, Jon Herrick and Kade Morain are the three top receiving threats for the Toreadors.

Each has Bolinger at least 27 catches, 347 yards and four touchdowns through the air.

Hulse was the primary target week one, with six catches for 70 yards and a touchdown.

Toreador defense Creston will have to gameplan for a Boone defense that has played it once, and has only gotten stronger as the year as gone along.

The 28 points that Boone allowed in weeks one and two were the two highest totals surrendered by the team this season. The Toreadors are surrendering just 14.8 points per game this season.

“We know what they’re going to do, four d-linemen, four backers,” Bolinger said.

Leading the charge are defensive end Eli Johnson, linebacker Colby Wadsworth, Kade Morain and Schminke. Johnson led District 2 with 10 sacks and clobbered his way to 12 tackles for loss. In a 21-14 win two weeks ago against Dallas Center-Grimes,

Johnson was unleashed against the Mustangs. He recorded four sacks and 11 tackles in the win. Moran also had 12 tackles for loss and posted four sacks. Wadsworth leads the team with 71.5 tackles. Both Hulse and Schminke have intercepted three passes in the secondary.

“They’re playing with the same guys they did week one, that means they’ve stayed healthy,” Morrison said. “They’re a good football team. We knew it coming in to week one. They’re a better football team because it’s week 10 and it’s the first round of the playoffs.”

The Toreadors stopped Creston/O-M from making too many big plays the first time around. The Panthers have planned to counteract the strength of the defensive line and linebackers with a particular focus.

“We’ve got to pick up linebackers,” Morrison said. “They’re probably the best linebacking group we‘ve seen all year.

They run downhill.

They run through.

They cut the offensive line- Merritt men in half and run through them and don’t get washed.”

Final notes Friday night’s contest represents the Panthers’ sixth straight appearance in the playoffs. The game will start at 7 p.m. as opposed to 7:30 p.m. Tickets will be $6 at the gate and can be purchased at the high school for the same price anytime from 8 a.m.- to- 3:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday.

The driver then proceeded back east on 205th Street, where he struck one patrol vehicle, a 2017 Ford Explorer, and then intentionally rammed another squad vehicle, causing severe damage to the vehicle, a 2012 Dodge Charger, and unlawfully and intentionally attempting to cause the death of a Creston Police officer.

The suspect’s vehicle proceeded into the ditch, coming to a stop. Two officers were injured during this time.

Damage exceeded $10,000 total. The suspect, Welcher, took off on foot and was ap-

John McCain pledged to work together on economic issues and national security after meeting in Chicago.

Privately, the 2016 candidates may be striking a more conciliatory tone. Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the New York Archbishop, has said that in a warm private exchange at an otherwise testy charity dinner last week, Clinton had told Trump that “whatever happens, we need to work together afterward.� Trump, he said, told Clinton “you are one tough and talented woman.�

In the final weeks of the campaign, both candidates

prehended by officers after a short foot pursuit.

According to further reports, Welcher did operate a motor vehicle while impaired and while his license was barred. Welcher did admit to smoking marijuana between two and three hours of being involved in an attempt to elude law enforcement.

Welcher showed signs of impairment and admitted several times to smoking marijuana.

Welcher refused field sobriety testing, preliminary breath testing, DataMaster testing and a urine test.

Welcher has two prior convictions of operating while intoxicated within the past 12 years. “I’m glad the officers are OK and the suspect was

caught,� said Creston Police Chief Paul Ver Meer. “To prevent more incidents like this, Ver Meer we purchased spike strips that can be used if we can get a chance to get ahead of the individual, and we have a good pursuit policy the officers follow. We also try to limit pursuits in general.�

Attempted murder is a class B felony, first-degree criminal mischief is a class C felony and third-offense operating while intoxicated is a class D felony.

Welcher was being held on $100,000 bond.

have begun to focus more on their post-election plans.

Trump made two appearances at his hotels this week, raising questions about whether he’s trying to shore up his corporate brand, amid signs that his campaign has hurt his family businesses.

Trump has largely refused to back down from his defiant assault on the election’s integrity, remaining unwilling to say whether he’d accept the results if he loses. “Don’t worry about it,� he told ABC. He will visit Ohio for three campaign rallies on Thursday.

Clinton, too, has turned some of her focus to what happens after Nov. 8, though her efforts assume she wins. Deep in transition planning, she’s begun retooling her campaign

message to emphasize unifying the country after a divisive race.

A new Associated PressGfK poll released Wednesday found Clinton on the cusp of a potentially commanding victory, fueled by solid Democratic turnout in early voting, massive operational advantages and increasing enthusiasm among her supporters.

The survey shows her leading Trump nationally by a staggering 14 percentage points among likely voters, 51-37. That margin is the largest national lead for Clinton among recent surveys.

But it’s consistent with trends in the race: Most polls have generally shown her ahead of Trump for the past several weeks.

Candidates on Nov. 8 ballot for ISU Extension and Outreach council Voters will have the opportunity to elect members of the Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach Union County Council from a choice of one incumbent and three open candidate seats at the Nov. 8 general election. “The council members elected this year will be involved in bringing educational opportunities to Union County for the next four years,� said Tracy Kelley with Union County Extension.

ISU Extension and Outreach educational programming is a cooperative effort involving local citizens, Iowa State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Extension council members are elected at large and all voters in the county are eligible to vote for the candidates.

The lone candidate on this year’s ballot is Dan Waigand, incumbent, of Afton. Dan currently serves as council chair.

Three additional Union County Council spots are open, with no other candidates filing.

Extension council members whose terms expire this year are Randy Ehm of Afton, Candace Ripperger of Afton, Amber Vicker of Creston and Dan Waigand of Afton.

Carryover council members whose terms continue through the end of 2018 are Larry Bailey of Creston, Jennifer Foglesong of Thayer, Shiloh Gennaro of Afton, Jerry Hartman of Creston and Mark Ide of Creston.

Successful candidates will take office in January 2017.

Iraqi army Maj. Gen. Najim al-Jabori said forces south of Mosul retook the town of Staff al-Tut in the Tigris River valley the day before, and are now 20 miles (35 kilometers) from the city. He said local tribal and militia forces have been deployed to protect the gains while his troops regroup for their next push toward the city.

The special forces, who are 5 1/2 miles (9 kilometers) east of the city, continued cleanup operations in the village of Tob Zawa.

They found a tire shop that had been converted into a factory for making roadside bombs and attaching armor to vehicles.

They also found a tunnel equipped with fans and lights that ran from beneath a mosque out to a road. Iraqi forces have found extensive tunneling networks in areas retaken from IS, which the militants used to elude U.S.led coalition warplanes. IS has also rigged homes and other buildings with explosives to slow the troops’ advance.

Many fear IS may resort to more brutal tactics as the forces converge on the city, which is still home to more than a million people.

The U.N.’s public health agency said Thursday it has trained 90 Iraqi medics in “mass casualty management,� with a special focus on chemical attacks. The

The United Nations’ refugee agency is shipping tents, blankets and other aid from the United Arab Emirates to northern Iraq to help those affected by the military campaign.
