CHS coaches, athletes rave about trainer’s work behind the scenes

Iowa sheriff’s office: Charged deputy decides to resign WATERLOO (AP) — The Black Hawk County Sheriff’s Office says one of its deputies accused of having a weapon with him while drunkenly assaulting someone has resigned in lieu of being fired.

The former deputy, 34-yearold Erick McFerran on Friday, is charged with carrying weapons, assault causing bodily injury and harassment.

When two key Creston/Orient-Macksburg seniors left the field with injuries in Friday’s district football championship game at Carroll, they weren’t met by a distracted coach trying to keep one eye on the ongoing action.

They were attended to by a professional in the medical field they consider to be part of the team.

Mount Ayr native Chris Leonard succeeded Kenny Lents as Greater Regional Medical Center athletic trainer assigned to Creston High School in May 2012, after holding a similar position in Waco, Texas.

Since then, he has Leonard been a daily part of the Panther athletic scene at practices and games. Whether it’s taping ankles before practice, treating injuries that suddenly occur

during action or helping a student recover from a major injury, Leonard is involved.

Friday night, when all-state running back Chase Shiltz was battling ankle and knee issues and receiver/safety Zach Carlson sustained a concussion, coaches were thankful Leonard was present to lend his expertise.

“We couldn’t function without him,” said Brian Morrison, Creston/O-M head football coach. “He’s knowledgeable about every type of injury a kid could have. Last Friday, after we got back to Creston, he was checking on those kids to see how they were doing. When these types of things happen, he checks on them again before Monday. He always keeps us up to date and fills me in on the injuries and which kids might be out. The kids trust him because they’ve seen first hand how good he is at what he does.”

When one of the state’s top alltime running backs is helped off the field, there’s anxiety on the bench as well as in the bleachers. Through it

‘Circle of care’ guides GRMC training services Creston High School isn’t the only institution benefiting from the services of an athletic trainer from Greater Regional Medical Center.

Clarinda resident Kelsi Huseman, a Nebraska native, serves as trainer for Southwestern Community College athletics as well as sports at Southwest Valley High School, which consists of the former Corning and Villisca districts.

Before Huseman arrived in the fall of 2015 for the many Southwestern sports, the college relied on visits from trainer Chris Leonard, whose work was already spread thin attending to CHS athletes every day.

Athletic Director Todd Lorensen said it’s made a big difference in the care and prevention of injuries on campus.

“With all of the precautionary stuff you hear today, especially with head injuries, it’s huge to have her on hand for our coaches and athletes,” said Lorensen, who is also the head men’s basketball coach at SWCC. “She makes decisions on whether kids can practice or not, and I don’t question it one bit.”

loo police were called to a gas station on Oct. 14 after someone reported an assault.

The records say McFerran had assaulted one person.

Waterloo police say McFerran didn’t display the handgun during the incident.

On Thursday, the sheriff’s office said McFerran opted to pursue resignation rather than face being fired following an internal department investigation.

Activists split as Clinton makes push for black millennials PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Six months into Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, she met with a group of Black Lives Matter activists in Washington to make her case and seek their support.

DeRay Mckesson left disappointed, feeling Clinton lacked a grasp of the issues he had spent the previous year protesting in Clinton cities like Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore, including police brutality and income inequality. He came out of the October 2015 meeting unwilling to support her publicly.

On Wednesday, though, The Washington Post published an op-ed by Mckesson

announcing his plans to vote for her after meeting again with her last week in Cleveland. He said he heard a candidate well-versed in the things that matter to him.

“There was no platform the first time,” the 31-yearold Mckesson said in a telephone interview. “There is a platform now. I reflected on the things I’ve heard her say, commit to and seen in writing, and that’s how I came to my decision.”

A growing number of black millennials who were initially skeptical of Clinton — questioning her commitment to end mass incarceration, confront racial bias in policing and repudiate her husband’s tough policies on welfare and crime during the 1990s — now support her.

“Jeff had AT (athletic training) coverage when he was at Chariton, and he asked if GRMC was looking to provide something like that,” Neitzel said. “We were, but we were looking at broader coverage of southwest Iowa college and high school sporting events.”

Bevins said it’s one of the best things that’s happened at CHS during his tenure there.

“There’s no mandate from the state to have an athletic trainer,” Bevins said. “But Monte talked with (Superintendent) Tim Hood and me about their plans to expand in that area. We don’t have a fee with having Chris. It’s a great partnership. He’s done a nice job with the kids here and working with the coaches and parents, and in turn, the hospital has gotten a lot of referrals for surgeries and those rehabilitation things those families need.”

“He does a really good job doing all the tests and keeping you informed on what the possibilities are,” said Shiltz, who had worked with Leonard on recoveries from a broken hand and meniscus knee surgery after Shiltz the previous two football seasons. In both cases, he started the wrestling season late but came on strong to win state championships.

“Friday was the perfect example of what Chris does in situations like that,” said Darrell Frain, the school’s head wrestling coach and assistant football coach. “He let us know what was going on with those guys and we trust him.

HUSEMAN: CONT. FROM | 1A Lorensen said Huseman’s work behind the scenes every day, not just on game day, keeps athletes on track to perform in their sport.

It’s been a major improve- Lorensen ment in our athletic department since she joined us.”

Huseman, who got her master’s degree in athletic training from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, worked as a trainer for a high school in the Kansas City area before joining GRMC in September 2015.

“My first priority is home games here and at Southwest Valley,” Huseman

said. “At Southwest Valley, I do an injury clinic once a week on Mondays. Living in Clarinda, it makes it easier to get there after I’ve been at Southwestern.

It works out pretty well.”

Both Huseman and Huseman Creston High School trainer Chris Leonard are available “on call” for injury services at other area high schools.

Jill Hoakison, GRMC director of rehabilitation services, said the presence of athletic trainers in area schools is an important part of a wide gamut of services designed to assist residents in the region in the treatment and recovery from injuries.

Instrumental in that circle of treatment are orthopedic surgeons William Ralston and Ron Charles, along with physician assistant Jake Davis. Also involved are employees in GRMC physical therapy and occupational therapy.

“The role of the athletic trainer is injury prevention and injury evaluation,” Hoakison said. “Then they can make the appropriate referrals, whether it’s

“We are so lucky,” said Creston Volleyball Coach Polly Luther. “He does more than people realize. He and his family live near Lenox, and there would be times when we had Saturday tournaments in southwest Iowa and he’d meet us there early in the morning to get our kids taped up. He really cares and invests himself.”

Softball Coach Mike McCabe said Leonard gives the school staff daily progress information on a player’s status.

“In the past, I’ve sent kids to their doctor for a sprain and they’re on crutches with a note saying they’d be out for three weeks,” McCabe said.

“Well, they’re going to error on the side of caution, and they’re not with the kid every day making sure they’re doing the things necessary to recover properly. With Chris, on the other hand, they might get back a lot sooner with some focused treatment on that injury. He’s really a good resource for parents, too, on the questions that come up about their child’s health.”

“He takes his job seriously. It’s important to him,” Morrison said. “There are people in his line of work who aren’t as professional as he is. Especially now, when there is so much talk about concussions, it’s great to have someone like him taking that kid through each step of the protocol. We never want to put a kid in harm’s way.” with their primary-care provider or our orthopedic team. Then, we have the rehab team to get them back, working on their balance, strength and range of motion. When we have someone in the school system, they can sometimes catch things that might otherwise get overlooked.”

Hoakison said the GRMC staff is working with area school districts on head injury education, in conjunction with increased national attention on concussion awareness and treatment protocols. She said staff will be working with a broader range of athletes in the area on safety matters and injury prevention.

And, the traditional practice of an athletic physical conducted prior to participation in sports is morphing into a more comprehensive exam. It is designed for early detection of potentially critical issues, such as the heart ailment that nearly cost former Creston/O-M wrestler Tayler Pettit his life while participating in the 2015 state tournament.

“We’re moving away from the sports physical to what we call a wellchild exam,” Hoakison said. “We’re looking for some of the underlying things that might get overlooked, and hopefully prevent serious things from happening.”

“I had a coach in high school, Tim Kloewer, who did some athletic training on the side and I started to think that I would enjoy that more than animal science,” Leonard said. “This is the perfect marriage between sports and medicine. Every day is different.

Being around athletics is a great atmosphere to work in.”

Leonard is just one of several athletic trainers with Mount Ayr heritage. Drew Yoder is an assistant trainer with the Golden State Warriors in the NBA. His brother, Brandon Yoder, is head of athletic training at Marquette University.

Natasha Gourley of Clearfield works at Mount Ayr football games for Ringgold County Hospital. Shane Bishop was a trainer for the University of Missouri wrestling team before recently returning to the family farm near Mount Ayr. Leonard has frequently consulted with his comrades in the field to exchange information and continue learning his craft.

Power drain calls for new refrain Dear Heloise: I often MISPLACE MY MOBILE PHONE and can’t find it, since I habitually turn it off to prevent battery drain. To solve this problem, while I am at home I turn off location, notifications and mobile data. I also turn off emails, and use my home computer to check them.

These things are turned on when needed, and I now keep the phone in my car – where there’s a charger, by the way! – Carol J., Portland, Ore. Carol, this all sounds fine and dandy, but I wouldn’t recommend leaving your phone in the car. You don’t want to give thieves even the slightest reason for breaking into your car. – Heloise FOLLOW-UP: CRUISE STORY Dear Readers: Talk about hidden charges!

Here’s a follow-up story sent in by a reader, via email, who’d planned and planned well but didn’t plan for this!

She wrote: “My children and I just got back from a cruise.

Internet charge was 75 cents per minute, just like you said. My son carefully timed three two-minute calls, hung up and then turned off his

Hints from Heloise phone.

“When he got his internet bill, it was almost $400!

We had not been told that you have to ‘log out.’ His time continued to run. He protested, and they halved the bill, but that was almost $200 for six minutes on his phone. Let this be a headsup to people cruising the internet on cruises!”

– Heloise MORE RECIPES Dear Heloise: I just ordered your pamphlet for soups, and I can’t wait to try some of them. Some are easy enough to make, which, knowing me, once I have a recipe memorized it will be my easy “go-to” recipe when I’m planning and shopping for family meals. But soups can go only so far! Do you have any other food or dish pamphlets that I can order?

If they’re anything like the soup one, I know I will use the recipes. On a side note, the pamphlet is colorful,

which makes it easy to locate and much easier to store instead of bulky recipe books, which I have plenty of! – Margaret R., Arlington, Texas I have a pamphlet titled Heloise’s Main Dishes and More, which has a variety of dishes, from meats and potatoes to sauces and dressings. To get a copy, send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (68 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Main Dishes, P.O. Box 795001. San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Horoscope For Saturday, Oct. 29, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to study. It’s an excellent day for serious discussions about politics, religion and racial issues, because people are restrained and serious.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Your attempt to budget will be successful today. You want to reduce your debt and do anything to secure your financial future.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Someone older or more experienced might have advice for you today. Discussions with friends and partners will be practical. You might talk about how to share expenses, duties and responsibilities.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Someone more experienced at work might have advice for you today. It certainly won’t hurt to listen. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, do you?

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Children might be an increased responsibility today. This also is a day where romantic partners want to address practical issues. Nothing is frivolous.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) An older family member might need to be heard today. Family discussions will focus on how to make the home safe in the future for everyone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re in a serious frame of mind today, which is why you are attracted to serious topics.

You might want to start longterm planning for your future.

Someone more experienced might give you some ideas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)If shopping today, you will buy long-lasting, practical items only.

Whatever the case, you want to use your money wisely so that you get the most bang for your buck.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You feel restrained when talking to others today.

This is why you will play your cards close to your chest.

You’re not sure how much you should divulge to someone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Research of any kind will go well today, because you’re in a serious frame of mind.

Furthermore, you have focus and concentration, and you pay attention to details.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Someone older or more

experienced might help you today, especially in a group situation. Or perhaps he or she will welcome your support to his or her cause?

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Listen to what authority figures have to say today, because it ultimately will benefit you. This could be a parent, boss, older relative, teacher, VIP or even law enforcement.

YOU BORN TODAY You are forever youthful and charismatic. You also are kind, sociable, thoughtful and some-

times shy. The year 2017 will begin quietly, which is why you might not see major changes until 2018; however, it will be a year of growth, construction and building. Do what you can to reduce your debt and strengthen your financial position, because you are building for your future!

In 1992, monuments were dedicated in Massachusetts to those who had been wrongly accused of being witches.

Trump so repugnant with his talk of violence in “inner cities” and the need for “law and order.”

But other activists are still not convinced that Clinton will address their priorities and are withholding their votes and public support as she makes a final push to enlist a group seen as key to her path to victory in November.

“It’s a challenge and we’re just facing it head-on,” said Clinton aide Christopher Huntley, who focuses on millennials. He said the candidate is mounting a full-court press to reach young black voters and is being helped by “folks who have been skeptical now realizing and coming to that ‘Aha!’ moment that she’s the best one to carry our water.”

Clinton’s platform includes establishing national guidelines on police use of force; police training in recognizing implicit bias; legislation to end racial profiling; increased funding for body cameras; sentencing reform; and federal aid to create jobs for young people, ex-convicts and small businesses in poor communities.

To help make her case to black voters, she has enlisted the Mothers of the Move-

ment, a group of black women who have lost children to violence. They include the mothers of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. The mothers joined Clinton on the campaign trail in North Carolina last weekend.

Clinton is also reaching out to Black Lives Matter activists, several of whom have social media platforms that give them tremendous influence, and is campaigning at historically black colleges, deploying surrogates like New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and tapping the likes of rapper Jay-Z to perform a get-out-the-vote concert.

On her 69th birthday on Wednesday, Clinton stopped by “The Breakfast Club,” a popular urban radio show.

Over the weekend, she tweeted a shout-out to historically black Howard University, which was celebrating its homecoming.

According to a new GenForward poll of Americans ages 18 to 30, 49 percent of blacks say they will definitely vote in November. That’s similar to the percentage of all young people. Eighty percent of the likely black voters say they plan to cast their ballots for Clinton, versus 4 percent for Trump.

Clinton has enjoyed strong support from older African-Americans, particularly in the South, where she defeated primary rival Bernie

Sanders with 77 percent of the overall black vote in states with exit polling. But in the GenForward poll, black millennials reported supporting Sanders over Clinton during the primary season 46 to 28 percent.

In endorsing Clinton last week in an Elle magazine interview, Brittany Packnett — a St. Louis organizer who was also at both Clinton meetings — voiced some of the conflict felt by young black voters during the election season.

“These young people are understandably asking, ‘What is the point of continuing to participate in this system that assaults me?’”

Packnett said. “I have been wrestling with the same frustrations, but I have a responsibility to young people, to my community and to our work. The best way I can use my platform is to support Secretary Clinton.”

Many black millennials had doubts about Clinton early in the campaign because of a 1996 speech in which she referred to young “super-predators” in the black community. She has since apologized for the remark.

In a heated moment on the campaign trail in April, Philadelphia activist Erica Mines confronted former President Bill Clinton about his support for welfare reform that activists say punished poor

people and a crime bill that put many blacks behind bars.

Mines said she plans to vote for an independent next month.

“I do not believe she is someone who can be trusted,” Mines said of Clinton.

“She has been pushed because of Bernie Sanders to be more left than she has in the past. I do not trust her to do what is right for our communities. I only hear her talk about the middle class, which is not representative of those living at or below the poverty line.”

Ferguson protester Johnetta Elzie said Clinton has done nothing to earn her endorsement. Elzie was among the protesters who met with Clinton in October 2015, but did not meet with her last week.

“There is no way I could promise to black people that she’s not going to be horrible for us,” she said. “That’s not the hill I want my credibility to die on. I’m not going to guilt-trip people. I’m encouraging people to vote however you want on Nov. 8 — or don’t vote.”

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, October 28, 2016

Mediacom offers $55K in scholarships to seniors DES MOINES – Mediacom Communications is offering $55,000 in scholarship support for high school seniors who plan to obtain further education.

The scholarship program is in its 16th consecutive year and Mediacom’s investment will award $1,000 World Class Scholarships to 55 high school seniors.

Scholarship recipients are given the flexibility to use the financial award to support educational expenses for higher education or vocational training from any accredited post-secondary institution starting in the fall of 2017.

Award selection is based on academic achievement and leadership.

Applications for Mediacom’s World Class Scholarships are available online at www.mediacomworldclass. com. All high schools in Mediacom-served communities were sent informa-

tional cards asking school officials to make seniors aware of the scholarship and encourage submission of applications on or before the Feb. 17 deadline.

“As a company, Mediacom makes it a priority to give back to communities in which we do business, and one of the best ways is to invest in promising students who are our future leaders,” said Mediacom Regional Vice President Steve Purcell.

Applicants do not have to be Mediacom customers but must live in areas where Mediacom provides broadband, video, phone and other digital-communication services.

Recipients will be selected from the 21 states where Mediacom provides service.

A complete list of communities in Mediacom service areas is included with the online application. Inquiries may be sent to scholarship@ mediacomcc.com.

Baker ready for state meet challenge Creston sophomore runs in her first state cross country meet Saturday

■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Creston sophomore Bri-

elle Baker is the Panthers’ lone representative at Saturday’s state cross country meet.

She hasn’t been alone this week in preparing for her first race through the course at Kennedy Park’s Lakeside Municipal Golf Course.

The support of her teammates and friends has helped her mentally and physically prepare for the challenge in front of her.

She takes the gun in the Class 3A girls race at noon.

“I’ve had a lot of people

come help with practice,” Baker said. “I want to give a big shout to all of them Baker — Ben Irr, Rachel Shepherd, Isaac Wignall, Dawson Smith, they’ve all helped push me, get ready for this. I thank them.”

All four are seniors. She’s grateful for their support.

“It means a lot, especially

since they’re seniors,” she said.

Irr, a two-time state qualifier, missed out this season.

Still, having him around this week has meant plenty to the young Panther runner.

“I know that he’s supporting me,” Baker said. “It means a lot to have the support.”

Baker has also received plenty of support from the school and community.

“It’s crazy,” she said. “Everywhere I go, they just say

“SHE’S ONE OF THE BEST. That’s why she’s at the state meet.

Fight to the bitter end Eagles fall out in regional semis

AFTON — Coaching a program at one school for 20 years doesn’t make accepting a loss, and the end of a season, any easier.

East Union volleyball coach Gail Thatcher wiped away tears following Thursday’s regional semifinal loss to Grand View Christian.

The Thunder disposed of the Eagles in three sets, but not before East Union put things together in the final set and had the start of a comeback within its grasp.

The 28-26 final set loss came after losses of 25-16 and 25-13.

It was the topic of lone senior Mara Weis that made Thatcher emotional again.

“Mara’s had great leadership this season,” Thatcher said. “She’s set it up and been out there on the floor picking people up. When freshman Quinn Eslinger came in to serve for Megan EAGLES | 3S

Training regiment helps NV boys cross country prepare for state meet

DIAGONAL — In the first season of the program’s existence, Diagonal’s cross country team can say it is sending a third of its squad to state cross country at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course at Kennedy Park in Fort Dodge Saturday at 2 p.m.

That being said, that consists of just one runner, Maroonette junior Maddie Lohmann.

Working to be the best

Diagonal junior Maddie Lohmann runs toward the front of the pack early on in the Class 1A state qualifying meet at the Par 3 golf course in Panora last Thursday.

GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley’s boys cross country team has a strict training regiment during the season.

The routine coach Darrell Burmeister has for his team has helped make it a force in Class 1A running over the years.

The Wolverines look to show how their hard work in practice behind the scenes pays off come race day.

The Class 1A top-ranked Wolverines will gun for their second consecutive team

championship Saturday. The seven Wolverine boys and the rest of the Class 1A boys field will take the gun at 2:30 p.m. at Kennedy Park’s Lakeside Municipal Golf Course.

Nodaway Valley trains for 20 straight days. It then has a day of rest to recover and recuperate.

On day 22, the routine starts all over again.

“We have a lot of hard day,s a lot of hard workouts,” said senior Shane Breheny.

Breheny knows the motive behind the mission.

“They’re all there to make us better,” he said.

The workouts aren’t always strenuous.

“We go hard days then easy days,” said senior Brayten Funke. “We switch back and forth.”

While it may seem like a lot of work, the BOYS | 2S

team has adapted nicely to the routine.

“You fall into it,” Funke said. “You can expect certain workouts. It becomes easier as you go on.”

On the off day, any sort of workout is optional.

Even then, the runners still find time for a workout on those days.

“We just try to have fun,” Breheny said. “If you want to run a few miles, we meet up to run a few miles. We’ve done that in the past.”

The workouts help develop team chemistry.

“There’s a lot of team bonding and getting to know each other,” Breheny said.

“The goal is to go out there and have fun.”

Team chemistry is an underrated part of what can be perceived as an individual sport.

“Cross country is more of a team sport than what you’d realize,” Breheny said.

“There’s a lot of team bonding. Everybody’s got to have good relations to keep pushing and be friends.”

Even on hard workout days, they still keep the mood jovial.

to Fort Dodge by way of a 14th place finish and a season-best time of 21:21 at the Panorama state qualifying meet.

Lohmann has yet another chance to set the bar high and place a school record that will be hard to pass in the coming years.

“It’s taken a couple of days to let it sink in, but at the meet at Panorama. I would I say I didn’t think I had a really good chance, but as I was running the race I thought ‘okay I do have a chance.’

I got more determined as I went on,” Lohmann said.

Lohmann stayed around that 14 spot for much of the race and defeated the next two runners by 16 seconds to secure her spot.

Lohmann will be running in a field of 150 athletes.

This past week has been one of preparation for Lohmann, one that she isn’t acting differently about.

“I’m treating this just like any other meet,” Lohmann said. “I’m just trying to take it easy and not get too sore before Saturday. I’ve been doing a lot of stretching and I’m just treating it like any other meet.”

She doesn’t expect her Saturday routine the day of

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, October 28, 2016

“It’s really competitive,” Funke said. “It’s a good thing. We’re still friends in the end.”

Having the support of teammates makes the workouts less stressful.

“You get in shape and built relations with the team,” Funke said. “You’re both working together even though you’re trying to get ahead of your teammate in practice. You can still be friends.”

Their drive motivates each other.

“It’s really competitive,” Funke said. “It’s a good thing we’re all still friends in the end.”

Strong team chemistry helps them during a race.

They have a certain signal to help each other throughout the race.

“You’re supposed to honk, then try to get them to go with you,” Funke said.

“We’ve literally had people honk at each other. Or you say lets go.”

The 20-day workout plan is made possible by the fact that Burmeister does not have two-a-day practices.

“If we did two-a-days, we wouldn’t do this,” Burmeister said.

He does the workout regiment to maximize their other opportunities.

“My kids are in jazz band, in academic bowl,” Burmeister said. “They have so many commitments in the morning. They have music practice at night We want to get them some sleep in the morning.”

The training regiment the Wolverines have keeps them in top shape.

“You start to lose your conditioning after 24-48

the meet to be peculiar by any means.

“I’m going to try and get a lot of sleep (Friday) and go to bed early, leave at 9 a.m. Probably get up at like 8 (a.m.) but I usually have toast for breakfast. I’ll probably stretch before I leave and I’ll probably drink lots of water,” Lohmann said.

Diagonal coach Matt Warren isn’t going overboard trying to prepare his star runner. In fact, he’s letting Lohmann figure it out on her own for the most part.

“She knows what she’s doing out there,” Warren said.

“She knows her pace. She will push it to the limit and she knows how to go hard.

She knows pretty much what to do out there, she doesn’t need me for any special instruction.”

Both Lohmann and Warren stated that they had looked over the course somewhat, but neither is too concerned about learning a ton about the course before the race.

“We kind of know the overall layout but as far as the terrain and hills and all that, we don’t know a whole lot about it. But maybe the less you know the less you have to psyche yourself out or get overconfident,” warren said. “She’s going to go out there and do her best and leave it all out there.”

Look for Lohmann wearing her Diagonal Maroon and a number 517 on the bib attached to the front of her jersey. There will be people there to see her compete at the grandest stage of cross country in the state.

“A lot of family is coming.

I think they’re taking a bus or a van,” Lohmann said.

“I know of a lot of people and I’m glad I have their support.”

An appearance at state track last May gives her an idea of what to expect.

“State track, I had a big crowd watching me while I was running throughout,” Lohmann said. “Same situation Saturday. That has definitely prepared me for state.

There will also be a lot more runners like there was at state track. And it’s just kind of the same atmosphere, I’m hoping.”

No matter how she runs, Lohmann will set a new standard for years to come for prospective Diagonal runners. A gritty effort this year could teach her valuable lessons about her racing ability that she can carry into her second year of cross country.

But like she said before, she’s treating this like any other meet.

Weinheimer driven to excel Nodaway Valley freshman Reagan Weinheimer has a

hours,” Burmeister said.

“We don’t want them to lose all of that.”

Burmeister credits the team for sticking with the program.

“They’ve very dedicated for doing this,” Burmeister said.

The day off is meant to restore them before the next regiment starts.

“The human body does

need one day of restoration,” Burmeister said. “They free up muscle tears, frees up the mind. They can cross train if they want. They have a day off to free up and heal and have a fresh mind.”

This season’s goal at state is simple. They want to be the final team called out onto the podium after the final race of the day.

Doing so would mean they are state champions.

“That’s’ really motivating us,” Breheny said. “It’s one thing that we keep in the back of our mind.”

They have a goal for themselves and the team.

“We want three guys in the top 15 and at least five in the top 30,” Breheny said.

They’re all state-tested, save for Breheny’s little brother Tyler, a freshman.

Even then, Tyler Breheny’s been in Fort Dodge to watch his older brother run.

“All of our guys know what the experience is like,” Breheny said.

Winning a state title Saturday would be the first time a Nodaway Valley team in any sport has repeated as state champions.

“It’d be amazing,” Breheny said. “It’d feel so good, like we did last year.

“To be the only team in school history to do it twice

would be a great achievement.”

The Wolverines will be tested by school such as Pekin, Calamus-Wheatland, Boyer Valley and Adair-Casey/Guthrie Center.

Most of this season’s team was on a fourth-place team two years ago. That squad missed a top-three placing, and spot on the podium, by eight points and a state title by 23 points.

That drove them last season to the state title.

“Motivation was not a problem,” Burmeister said.

The potential to make school history this season has kept complacency from setting in.

For this senior class, to close out their careers with a state title would mean much.

“It would be really good to be the first ones,” Funke said. “It would be great to be the first ones to go back-toback.

“It would be special.”

Burmeister has a vision of what Saturday could be if they were to win the state title.

“We’d like to walk up the hill to camp, to the top of the hill to our campsite. I’d like to congratulate them one more time.”

“Walking up the hill, it will be moving.”

competitive drive that shows every time she runs.

She’ll look to channel that inner drive on the cross country course one more time Saturday.

Weinheimer, and teammate Mallory Kuhns, take to the course in Class 1A girls action Saturday at 2 p.m. at the state cross country meet at Kennedy Park’s Lakeside Golf Course in Fort Dodge.

Weinheimer’s drive comes from her father.

“He’s really competitive,” Weinheimer said.

She has his backing for her athletic endeavors.

“He’s really supportive,”

she said. “He wants me to do better and supports me.”

Weinheimer is coming off a severe ear infection that very nearly forced her to miss the state qualifying meet last Thursday.

She said earlier this week she’s 100 percent.

Coming off a fourth-place finish at the state qualifying meet, she’s hungry to do better.

“I feel better,” Weinheimer said. “I’ll come back stronger. My whole goal was to qualify. I didn’t care where I placed.”

Weinheimer, who’s been ranked in the top five in

Class 1A for most of the season, enters state ranked 27th.

She’s gunning for a high place at state.

“I just want to get out strong and keep my position for the whole race and do the best I can,” Weinheimer said.

She’s chatted with the boys teammates about what it’s like to run at state.

Their success drives her to emulate them. Her goal is a top-10 finish and spot on the awards stand.

“They said it’s really cool to be on the deck,” Weinheimer said. “It’s my goal.”

Iowa DNR news: pheasant season begins Saturday (IOWA DNR) — Iowa’s pheasant hunting tradition will begin another chapter on Saturday, when nearly 60,000 hunters will pursue ringnecks during the season opening weekend in fields across the state.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resourcesannual August roadside survey predicts Iowa pheasant hunters can expect to have good hunting this fall, and likely more company in the field. The optimistic mood is a natural outcome of five consecutive years of higher population surveys and hunter harvests.

The survey found an average of 21 pheasants per 30 mile route statewide, with higher counts coming from counties crossing the state diagonally from northwest to southeast. The statewide average in 2015 was 24 pheasants per route.

“At this point, it appears much of our corn and beans will be out of the fields by the opener, which will concentrate birds to grass areas and make hunters happy.

If we have good weather, I think we could see a bump in hunter numbers and birds harvested,” said Todd Bo-

genschutz, upland wildlife biologist for the Iowa DNR. Bogenschutz said he has noticed more birds near field edges and along the roads as the crops have been coming out.

“I’ve been seeing some birds around on my way in to the office and have been getting a few phone calls from around the state from people also seeing birds,” he said. ““The birds are here, we need hunters to return.”

Iowa’s pheasant population could sustain a harvest of 500,000 roosters, but it will not reach that level until there are 90,000 hunters afield. In 2015, some 55,000 hunters harvested 270,000 Iowa roosters.

Hunters can read the August roadside survey, review hunting regulations, buy a license and find a place to hunt online at www.iowadnr.gov/hunting.

Regulations unchanged Regulations covering pheasant hunting are unchanged from last year – there is a limit of three roosters per day, 12 roosters in possession, and hunters are required to wear one

piece of solid blaze orange clothing. If hunting public land, be sure to check if steel shot is required. If cleaning the birds in the field, be sure to leave the head, fully feathered wing or leg attached while transporting the bird home.

Iowa furbearer season begins

Nov. 5 Iowa fur harvesters will find good numbers of raccoons, muskrats, beaver, coyotes, bobcats, river otters and mink when the furbearer trapping and hunting season opens on Nov. 5.

“Population-wise, all species are doing pretty well except for gray fox,” said Vince Evelsizer, fur bearer biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

Trappers who like to pursue muskrats should find better numbers on area marshes this year. All indications show better muskrat numbers in many parts of the state for the second year in a row, whichis great news, he said.

“It’s still not what is used to be in some areas, but definitely an improvement. Muskrats are a bread-and-butter species for Iowa trappers, but the population has been on a downward trend for the past 25 years or so. So it’s good to see their numbers rebound some,” Evelsizer said.

What hasn’t come back is the furmarket outlook – fur prices remain low.

EAGLES:

fore a Cara Arrasmith kill put some life back into the Thunder. The two squads traded points, and then Grand View Christian put together a quick 3-0 run to tie things 23-23.

East Union went up 2423 when Alissa Weinkoetz smashed the ball off of two blockers.

On a long rally during the next point, with the gym rocking, Weinkoetz set the ball and was called for a double hit to tie it back up at 24-24. It was one of multiple double hit calls throughout the night that the East Union coaching staff was visibly unhappy with.

East Union couldn’t weather the storm after that and finally fell a few tense minutes later after trading a few more points.

The Eagles put up a fight, but don’t get to see their state dreams realized.

Weis and Weinkoetz totalled five kills each. Weis

and Eckels both went 10of-10 and served in critical junctures throughout the match. Weis was second on the team in digs with 11, while Megan Mitchell had 12.

“We have a lot of talented girls sitting on the bench that should be commended that didn’t see the court tonight because they pushed these girls to be better all season long,” Thatcher said.

Specifically she spoke of Olivia Cheers and Eslinger coming in and serving a combined 8-8 under pressure.

Performances like that

and a foundation based around youth leave Thatcher plenty of reason to be excited about the future.

(Mitchell), she was the first one there to greet her and say ‘you can do this and keep pushing.’”

Weis was the lone senior on the squad, and she went out in a leading role.

The last set in particular had the gym at a fever pitch.

“Even... when we got down, I told them if you get down two sets you gotta come back and you gotta play tough and you never give up,” Thatcher said. “I said ‘we’ve been in this situation before, let’s fulfill it.’

And the girls really did and the girls looked at me and said ‘we can do this.’And I really felt we could. They came out and controlled that game and really played aggressively and that’s what we needed.”

Quail population highest in 27 years Iowa’s quail population is its highest since 1989 after experiencing increases again across south central and southwest Iowa this year.

“This is the best opportunity we’ve had to hunt quail in 27 years,” Bogenschutz said. “For anyone who has ever had an interest in quail or who hasn’t hunted quail recently, this is the year to go.”

In 1989, 80,000 hunters harvested 400,000 quail. In 2015, 10,000 hunters shot 28,000 quail.

Quail population information is also included in the August roadside survey for hunters wanting to give quail hunting a try. Quail season begins Saturday.

Habitat's plan consists of partnering with Southwestern Community College Carpentry and Electrical students to build a home with an approximate value of $110,000, which would create approximately $2,500— in property taxes.

Schlapia knows his ace runner is ready for her state meet closeup.

“You run with the best,”

Schlapia said. “She’s proven she is one of the best. That’s why she’s at the state meet.”

Baker will end her second consecutive sport season in Fort Dodge. She was a part of Creston’s seventh-place Class 4A state softball team that competed two miles down the road at the Rogers Sports Complex.

Baker has steadily improved as the season has progressed.

Schlapia hopes that continues Saturday.

“She’s gotten better and improved,” Schlapia said.

“I don’t see why that’s not going to happen at Fort Dodge.”

There will be 138 girls competing in the Class 3A race.

Baker will start in the middle of the wide starting block in Fort Dodge.

She will be surrounded by girls from Harlan, Winterset and Glenwood in the starting box.

“She has some familiarity with all of them,” Schlapia said.

While Baker comes in unranked, she has a chance to prove herself.

“Come this meet, when it comes to high noon, it doesn’t matter,” Schlapia said. “Whether it’s your first time or you’re a three-orfour year veteran, whatever place you’ve been in, it doesn’t mean anything. Everyone starts at square one.

It’s whoever brings their ‘A’ game.”

The way the spectators crowd the course can be intimidating.

“It might be overwhelming for the runners,” Schlapia said.

Schlapia believes Baker is ready for the test of state.

“She has a real strong chance of doing a fantastic job,” Schlapia said. “We’re very proud of what she’s done. She will represent us well.”

“The sky’s the limit for her.”

As she races the 5K course, she has a goal in mind.

“I just want to set a PR (personal record) again, get my best time,” Baker said.

“I want to soak it all in.”
