s she’s driving to a meeting with her bodybuilding coach, Sara Hartman talks with the Creston News Advertiser about the past several years of her life as a bikini bodybuilder.

Working around her job, Hartman, 30, trains twice a day and performs in competitions against other women with the same goal in mind: to be first.

Hartman got her start in athletics when she was at Creston High School. She played volleyball and softball, ran track and was a cheerleader until she graduated in 2003. She then attended Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge, where she earned her associate’s degree in 2005.

She then earned a degree from The Salon Professional Academy in Ames before moving to Colorado in 2007.

“I always liked working out,” Hartman said. “I went and watched a (bodybuilding) show here in Colorado two years ago, and I was like, ‘I want to do this.’”

In Denver, she works as a hair stylist and trains with her current coach Joel Vandenberg to reach

her goal of becoming a professional bikini competitor.

Shows

Hartman worked with her first coach before participating in her first competition. She earned sixth place at that competition in March 2014.

At competitions, the day before is devoted to taking measurements and spray-tanning the ladies. The morning of the competition, the ladies have their makeup and hair fixed. There is a pre-judging section that morning, where the ladies are called out by height class and compared to each other.

Bikini bodybuilding focuses more on muscle tone rather than building muscle. This is done by looking at the muscle’s proportion, shape and balance. The competitors’ personalities are also taken into account during the judging.

The actual show the public comes to see happens later that day. It combines a show, routine and trophies.

“I was really nervous for my first show,” Hartman said. “It was fun though. I definitely realized I really enjoy the sport. I really enjoy being on stage.”

After getting sixth, which Hartman admitted she was “a little

disappointed about,” she kept going.

“It’s also a sport that I think they say 3 percent of America can do the diet for, and get on stage.

I was disappointed, but then I realized I was in a rare group of girls to get on stage for people,” Hartman said.

She then got a new coach and started training for her second show five months later.

“I definitely was more comfortable on stage my second show, and definitely changed my body,” Hartman said.

She placed fifth in the open division, which is where competitors can qualify for the national competition, and third in the novice division, which is for those Please see HARTMAN, Page 2

BOULDER, Colo.

(AP) — Here’s a look at how the 10 Republican presidential candidates in the main-event debate at the University of Colorado-Boulder performed Wednesday night.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson was in the spotlight more than in the first two debates, having risen to the top of polls nationally and in first-voti n g Iowa.

But the soft-spoken cand i d a t e Carson seemed unshaken by the heightened attention, even when quizzed on his proposal to eliminate all tax deductions and loopholes. Carson awkwardly answered a question on his biggest weakness: “A weakness would be not really seeing myself in that position” — the presidency he’s running for — “until hundreds of thousands of people began to tell me that I needed to do it.”

The celebrity billionaire Donald Trump, who has slipped in early-state and national polls, played a smaller role than the previous two debates. Trump He was asked fewer questions and inserted himself into others.

His contributions were often more entertaining for the audience than his rivals, such as when he said he carries a gun “on occa-

sion, sometimes a lot. But I like to be unpredictable so that people don’t know exactly.”

Florida Senator Marco Rubio was a central figure in the evening’s most dramatic moment, when fellow Floridian Jeb Bush criticized his work ethic for missing Senate votes.

But Rubio was prepared, noting that Bush never questioned 2008 GOP nominee John McCain’s voting record when he was running for president. To Bush, Rubio said, “The only reason why you’re doing it now is because we’re running for the same position, and someone has convinced you that attacking me is going to help you.”

The former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who is competing with Rubio for the Republican establishment’s support, pointedly questioned Rubio’s Senate attendance record, saying, “Marco, when you signed up for this, this was a six-year term, and you should be showing up to work.” But Bush had little response when Rubio retorted with McCain’s voting record, simply saying, “He wasn’t my senator.”

The audience cheered for Rubio, not Bush.

The tea party-backed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz set the tone for a string of media criticism by the candidates, ticking through what he viewed as irrelevant questions, albeit by exaggerating them somewhat. “This is not a cage match. And, you look at the questions — Donald Trump, are you a comic-book villain? Ben Carson, can you do math?”

Farragut school in danger of being dissolved FARRAGUT (AP) — The Iowa Department of Education has announced it will recommend dissolving the Farragut Community School District.

The Daily Nonpareil reports primary concerns appear to be declining enrollment in the Fremont County district as well as another year of exceeding a state spending limit. The state has also told school officials to address shortcomings of accessibility to students.

Farragut and Hamburg had been placed under a Phase II audit by the School Budget Review Committee for exceeding its spending authority.

■

Farragut and Hamburg had been placed under a Phase II audit by the School Budget Review Committee for exceeding its spending authority for salaries and other operational expenses by $803,000 in the fiscal year 2013-14. The Farragut district also overspent what it was allowed

to for fiscal year 2014-15, according to Superintendent Tom Hinrichs.

A report given to the school board earlier this month indicated that enrollment declined by 28 students from last year, including 13 more students transferring out of Farragut. This year 75 students went

to other school districts through the open enrollment process. According to the state, 167 students were enrolled in the district last year.

Department spokeswoman Staci Hupp said in an email that the recommendation has not been made officially, but that she expects it to be on the State Board of Education’s meeting agenda on Nov. 18. The decision will ultimately be made by the board. The Farragut school board announced Monday

that it will hold a community meeting next Wednesday to give an overview of the situation and allow Farragut and Hamburg residents to ask questions. School board president Jennifer Verallas said the district does not plan to give up, and “positive steps that the board plans to take to move forward” will be discussed at Wednesday’s meeting. Hinrichs said Farragut hopes to successfully challenge the Iowa Department of Education’s recommendation.

Curtis Duane Downey, son of Carla Rae Downey and Denny Duane Hansen, was born July 1, 1972, in Creston. Denny died suddenly when Curtis was an infant. Carla married Harold Eugene Beavers on Dec. 15, 1972, and Harold became the only father Curtis knew.

receive friends 9 a.m., Saturday morning at Ritchie Funeral Home, 124 S. Main St., in Lenox.

Larry David Miller was born April 23, 1951, in Creston to Donald Dean and Jean M. Miller. He was reared in Afton and Lenox and was a 1969 graduate of Lenox Community High School. Growing up as a “country boy,” Dave and his late brother Randy worked for just about all of the area farmers during their adolescence. They built fence, hauled hay and worked in and around livestock. In fact, they earned the reputation that if you had a task to be done, just call the Miller boys.

In addition to all of this work, Dave found the time to take classmate, Cindy Reynolds, to the senior prom. Following high school, Dave pursued an education at Southwestern Community College and later at Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa uated from Creston High School in 1990. While in high school, Curtis played on the golf team and won many trophies. Curtis worked for Heartland Tire after graduating, then worked for Southwest Distributing, delivering to businesses all over southwest Iowa. He later worked for Pepsi in the Des Moines area. Curtis began his career with Fareway in Waukee, and then transferred to Creston in 2003 as dairy manager.

Curtis liked to entertain and started Kamikaze Entertainment about eight years ago. He wrote and recorded many songs and collaborated online with other musicians.

Curtis is survived by his children, Dylan Downey of Maryville, Missouri, Keyawna Conley of Maryville, Missouri, Alyssa Downey of Ankeny, Tyler Downey of Creston, Michael Phelps of Afton; father Harold Beavers of Creston; sisters, Kristi Vicker and Mycale Downey, both of Creston; brother Brett Larkin of Creston; grandmother Lettie Hansen of Red Oak; several nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

Curtis was preceded in death by his mother Carla Beavers; brothers, Bradey Larkin and Michael Beavers; his grandfather and maternal grandparents.

and received an Associate Degree in Computer Programming. All the while, he stayed in contact with Cindy and this courtship culminated in a Nov. 30, 1974, wedding ceremony in Lenox.

With his expertise in computer programming, David quickly found employment first for American Republic Insurance and later for American Airlines. This opportunity would require the young Miller family to relocate to the Tulsa, Oklahoma area – eventually making the community of Claremore their home.

Since 1979, Dave has either been employed by American Airlines or has worked under contract for the company. He has been instrumental in developing payroll software that accurately tracked time and attendance for all employees with American.

In addition to his commitment to work, Dave was committed to his family, his community and his church.

Both he and Cindy shared a family focus, never missing daughter Angie’s special events and activities.

Dave even enjoyed sharing his April birthday with her prom festivities. The Miller household was always the place to be for Angie and her friends.

Upon moving to Claremore, Dave and Cindy became involved in the Claremore Soccer Association where Dave served as president. He was also involved in coaching and refereeing the sport from time to time.

Certainly not to be overlooked was Dave’s devotion to his God and his church, the First United Methodist Church. Through the years, he and Cindy had taught Sunday school and gone on various mission trips. More recently, he was the first one there and the last one to leave, making sure the doors were unlocked and thermostats set and that everything was back in order before locking up. He was

the church concierge if you will, and Pastor Ray’s right hand man, and that was certainly appreciated.

Though he gave so much to so many, he did find time for some of his favorite hobbies including woodworking. Many family and friends are beneficiaries of his great handiwork. Another great love of Dave’s was that of model trains. This began at the age of 10 when he won his first set in a drawing. He was continuously working on train sets, buying and building and enjoyed sharing this experience with his grandchildren, Evan and Marissa.

This intelligent and innovative, selfless and giving, devoted husband, father, grandfather, friend to many and irreplaceable supporter leaves treasured friends and a legacy of family which include his daughter Angela Rivera and her husband, Adrian of San Antonio, Texas; grandchildren, Evan and Marissa Rivera; sister

Jolene Garey of Broken Bow, Nebraska; brother Dan Miller and his wife Sandy of Walcot; brother-inlaw David Reynolds and his wife, Denise of Durant and sister-in-law,Jackie Miller of Mingo. He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his wife Cynthia Sue “Cindy” (Reynolds) Miller on June 1, 1998; his parents; his brother Randy Miller and his father and motherin-law, George and Ruth (Wurster) Reynolds.

Dave answered the call and boarded that heavenly bound train Monday evening, Oct. 26, 2015, in a Tulsa, Oklahoma hospital after a lengthy battle with health challenges. He was 64.

In lieu of flowers or other condolences, the family requests donations be made to the Endowment Fund at First United Methodist Church at 1615 N. Highway 88, Claremore, Oklahoma 74017.

who have never earned third place or better in the open division.

Hartman has done six competitions total. She placed third and second in competitions in July and August, respectively, and qualified for Nationals at both.

“Now I’m getting ready for Nationals in Chicago next year,” Hartman said of the show in June 2016.

Training Currently, Hartman is in her off-season.

“I can be normal, but I’m still training,” Hartman said. “I’m still working out just so I can build my muscle for Nationals.”

Hartman uses a program

lasting from 12 to 16 weeks with a strict clean-eating diet. She works out once in the morning, where she does an hour of cardio, usually in the form of the stair-climber.

She eats breakfast and goes to work, then afterwards does a two-hour strength-training workout. Her strength training focuses on a different body part each day.

“Definitely the diet is the most difficult part, keeping my willpower to eat super clean,” Hartman said. “I don’t get any carbs or sugars when I’m on prep for 16 weeks. So, after I get off prep, sugar is definitely my go-to.”

Hartman eats foods high in protein and low in car-

bohydrates and processed sugars, as well as “lots of greens.” She said her favorite snack is Oreos.

“But, your body starts looking amazing,” Hartman said, “so it’s definitely worth it.”

Continuing Hartman says her family has been paramount in supporting her throughout her life.

“My family is amazing support. I mean, my parents have never missed a single thing of mine since I was a little kid,” Hartman said. “They’ve been to every single one of my shows. They absolutely love it, especially my dad.”

Hartman is the daughter of Michelle Hartman of Creston and Scott

Hartman of Corning, and the sister of Creston High School graduate Tony Hartman of Omaha, Nebraska.

Hartman plans to continue signing up for different bodybuilding competitions and hopes to do well.

“It just depends how I do on the national stage.

I would love to place very high in it, but it’s going to be difficult,” Hartman said. “My ultimate dream is to be a pro bikini competitor, but I have to place first in a national show.”

Despite the challenge, Hartman has been inspired by the women that surround her at the many competitions she’s participated in, as well as by how she’s inspired people.

government should play no role in providing retirement account assistance. “Every time the federal government gets engaged in something it gets worse,” she said.

The former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee stuck to his gift for pithy, values-centered rhetoric. He

declined to criticize Trump’s moral authority to lead the country, joking: “You know, of the few questions I’ve got,

the last one I need is to give him some more time. I love Donald Trump. He is a good man.”

OPINION Dolores to the rescue

It was the screeching noise as I turned onto the highway that caught my attention.

My car had been making funny noises for awhile, but nothing that made me wonder if I should take it in to get fixed. That is, until the moment I turned the wheel and accelerated onto Highway 25 and a weird metallic screech reverberated up through the frame and into the cab.

It took me two days, one coworker and two mechanics (thanks a million to Dustin Allison, J.P. at Pokorny BP and Dave at Carlisle Automotive Repair) to tell me the sub-frame on my black 2001 Alero had rusted through.

Of course, I had to call my dad,

Girl on fire Bailey Poolman staff writer

Craig. The mechanic of the family, my dad takes care of cars and other vehicles like they’re his children (so really well). We worked out a plan: he would bring me a spare car and take my Alero back to Centerville so his mechanic could fix it.

That was a week ago. I’ve been driving a little red Buick since then, which I’ve dubbed Dolores.

Honestly, I like Dolores. She’s

the same age as I am and is only a two-seater, but, knowing my dad, I trust her to get me where I need to go. But, really, she makes me laugh and realize what kind of a luxury my Alero really was.

Dolores is a 1989 Buick Reatta.

She’s got a digital dash with full touch screen in the center. The green digital letters and numbers show all the heating, cooling and radio controls. I have to push a button to turn the windshield wipers on, push another one to speed them up and push a third to turn them off. I have to do the same with my headlights. The hidden headlights pop up (most of the time) with the push of a button, and with the push of a second but-

ton they pop back down.

As old-fashioned and vintage as this car is (the brown carpet has faded so much it’s now pink in places), it’s had its issues already.

Friday, I went to Alley Bowl in Osceola to grab some photos for an Osceola Living story. I left the bowling alley and swung by Casey’s to fuel Dolores up, hoping I pulled to the correct side of the car where the fuel tank is. I did.

I proceeded to attempt to open the fuel door cover, but it wouldn’t budge. There was no ripple in the metal to pull it out, and you couldn’t push it down to pop it out.

After several minutes of worthless attempts, I called my dad and was

told the release is in the glove box.

Because that’s logical.

Then, after complaining to my dad about the illogical-ness of putting a fuel tank cover release button in a glove box, he just laughed at me.

Honestly, though, I’m thankful my dad was able to bring me a spare vehicle that I’ll be driving for the next few months. And I’ve enjoyed Dolores. She rescued me from not having a vehicle at all, and, while she’s no Maserati, she’s been reliable thus far.

Letter to the editor

I will miss the telegraph poles From Jim Stalker Creston

Over the weekend, Creston’s historic downtown lost a piece of its history and its unique ambience.

I refer, of course, to the telegraph poles that have graced the area to and from the historic Depot.

I will miss this piece of our history, as I hope others will also.

The poles should have been placed alongside the Depot as a part it’s historic value. Some of us can still remember the green lawn to the west of the depot before it became a parking lot. I suppose the telegraph poles will also become a part of our duty to try to pass on to the youth, some semblance of what was and is now gone forever.

Guatemala voters went to the polls and elected a TV comedian HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Guatemala voters went to the polls Sunday and overwhelmingly elected a TV star comedian to be their nation’s president and commander-in-chief. It has got a lot of political pundits worried. In the U.S., we’re just a New Hampshire primary and a general election away from doing the same thing.

The Republican Party held a presidential debate at the University of Colorado, which aired live on CNBC on Wednesday. The candidates were pleasantly surprised by all the laughter the crowd gave them. It’s the first time the Republicans have debated in an auditorium where marijuana is legal.

Speaker John Boehner made a budget deal with House Democrats and GOP defense hawks to raise the debt limit. Republicans get more defense spending and Democrats get more social program money. It shows why Congress’s approval rating is sixteen percent, two points behind Lamar Odom’s.

Germaine Greer called Caitlyn Jenner a man and a glory-hound trying to steal the spotlight from Kim, Kris and Khloe. More power to him. Americans have faith that if Bruce Jenner could defeat the Soviet Union in the Men’s Decathlon, he can beat the Kardashians to the cover of People.

President Obama was reported Tuesday leaning toward sending U.S. Special Forces into Syria and Iraq to combat ISIS. U.S. soldiers would also accompany the proU.S. Syrian rebels whom the Russians are bombing. Abe Lincoln attended plays that ended better than the way this script’s looking.

Rein in Washington’s overgrowth Families across Iowa look forward to fall traditions, from school homecoming events to apple-picking, pumpkin patches and trick-or-treating. Iowa farmers are working longer hours to bring in the harvest, thankful that sunny skies and dry conditions are helping them get a good start on a good crop.

This fall I am also grateful for a tradition I’ve kept since Iowans first elected me to the U.S. Senate. In October, I completed my face-to-face meetings with Iowans in each county. Holding a meeting in each of Iowa’s 99 counties at least once every year gives me a good perspective on what people are talking about on Main Street, around their kitchen tables and in the workplace.

At this time of year, I am tuned in to crop yields from county to county. Early reports indicate Iowa farmers are harvesting an impressive bounty.

Washington’s bounty, on the other hand, is not so impressive.

Inside the Beltway, bean counters can measure an abundance of taxes, regulations and deficits. The reach of the federal bureaucracy sprawls across the landscape of American society, reaching deeply and broadly into the economy.

Federal rules and regulations are implementing costly health care, banking, immigration, education, energy, transportation and farm policy that affects hard-working families all across the country.

Federal regulations create a regressive tax on all Americans.

Hidden compliance costs passed on to U.S. households reach nearly $15,000 per year per household, according to an analysis by the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

A joint academic study estimates the federal government spends $57.3 billion to enforce its regulations. Another projection by the Competitive Enterprise Institute concludes the U.S. regulatory footprint would rank as the 10th largest economy in the world.

Consider that, in 2013, 72 federal laws were enacted. And yet, there were 51 times that many federal rules issued – 3,659 – in just those 12 months. Furthermore, the Federal Register issued 79,311 pages

U.S. Senate Charles Grassley Republican

of rules that same year, handed down from the federal bureaucracy. From the economy to the environment, education, health care and taxes, Washington dictates, regulates, redistributes and centralizes its authority within a bloated bureaucracy that is cumbersome and unaccountable.

Iowans tell me that Washington overtaxes, overregulates and overspends. Its overgrowth is eclipsing good government.

Until the Veterans Department sweeps away bad management and fixes patient backlogs, the Secret Service and Drug Enforcement Administration get serious about punishing wrongdoers within their ranks and the Defense Department figures out how to clamp down on flagrant credit card abuse, the electorate will continue asking: What’s wrong with Washington?

Taxpayers work hard for their money. And they deserve to get their money’s worth, not wasteful spending squandered by Washington.

And yet, the incredible fact is, they don’t. The federal government improperly paid out $125 billion last year, according to the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office. That’s a 20 percent jump over the previous year. Tracing the payment trail to government contractors requires constant oversight. From the Pentagon to Medicare, I relentlessly track federal spending to help ensure the nation’s defense and health care dollars are spent as intended, as an example. From government-issued credit cards to bloated bureaucracies that rubber stamp improper payments, the federal payment stream is riddled with mismanagement.

That’s why I’m pushing new legislation that would implement continuous fiscal controls and accountability measures to thwart personal spending sprees on the taxpayer’s dime. It builds upon my

anti-fraud credit card bill that was signed into law in 2012.

I’m also working to trim costly spending and excessive regulations with the REINS Act, or Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny Act. It would require any executive rule that would cost $100 million or more to come before Congress for approval. Basically, it would tighten oversight, foster transparency and increase accountability by derailing bureaucratic overreach from unelected officials. The House of Representatives passed the bill this summer.

As a co-sponsor in the U.S. Senate, I’m working to get this bill to the President’s desk.

The REINS Act would address concerns made long ago by James Madison in Federalist Paper No. 62. He said that layers of laws and regulations allow the “sagacious and monied few” to “harvest” the benefits of big government. When Congress delegates too much authority and loosens the reins on the federal bureaucracy, we see bad policies such as the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule handed down by the unelected federal bureaucracy.

Thanks to our system of checks and balances, an appellate court in October put the brakes on the EPA power grab. I’m also co-sponsoring a bipartisan bill to require the EPA to go back to the drawing board.

When Washington piles on more taxes, more spending and more regulations, the government reins in the industriousness of the American people. And that’s bad news for America’s long-term prosperity. It’s time to rein in the way Washington works and prune the overgrown regulatory state.

As a longstanding champion for transparency, whistleblower protections and government accountability, I work to drive out a culture of corruption and cronyism that puts self-dealing and self-service above public service. Weeding out the poor yields of big government is needed to restore the public trust and harvest a bounty of good government “of, by and for the people.”

Jacque Greene of Afton purchased Kelly’s Flower Shop. Greene planned on keeping the well-known name for the business but was going to make a lot of changes in the appearance and what would be offered. The shop was purchased from Linda Wilson who had bought it from Jim and Ann Bryant in 1994.

The Bryants had purchased it in 1981 from original owner Foreman Kelley, who began the business in the early 1960’s.

Today is Oct. 29, the 302nd day of the year. There are 63 days left in 2015. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Oct. 26-Nov. 1) in history.

5 years ago Members of the Creston community dedicated a new welcome sign west of Crestmoor Golf Club on Highway 25. Mayor Warren Woods, Creston City Council member Marsha Wilson, First National Bank President Randy Huewe, Creston Walmart Supercenter Manager Amy Hook, Linda Kilgore of Kilgore’s Enterprises, Nate Berning, Creston Chamber of Commerce President Ed Ritter, Linda Carroll of Carroll Family Chiropractic and Creston Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Ellen Gerharz were on hand for the dedication. According to Woods, the $2,500 sign was made by Nate Berning and funded by First National Bank and the city of Creston.

The sign was to eventually move to Cherry Street in a minimum of two years when more funding was available for a permanent sign along Highway 25.

After a long, highly contested battle for Union County Board of Supervisors, it was almost time for the election.

Voters were to vote for or against reducing the number of county supervisors from five to three. Republican

A ring of danger for animals Dear Heloise: I visited my sister in Destin, Fla. We saw a SEA GULL, and its neck was caught in a plastic six-pack ring for soft drinks!

Horoscope Friday, Oct. 30, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) If you are involved in financial matters in which you must decide how to share something, be careful. Don’t give away the farm. Ideally, choose another day for these discussions.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might feel sympathetic to a friend or partner today.

Basically, you understand what it’s like to walk a mile in someone else’s wedges.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) If you can help someone at work today, you will. Quite likely, this person will seek out your guidance or your advice.

Always accept an opportunity to practice a kindness.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today is full of wonderful potential for creative activities, sports events and playful times with children. Not only are you empathetic with others, you also see what is possible, especially in the arts.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You will help a family member if something arises today, because you feel true sympathy toward this person. This is good; after all, family is gold.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Because your imagination is heightened today, this is an excellent day for those who write, act, teach, sell or promote. You will see many different ways to approach something.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If shopping today, guard against extravagance. You can’t buy champagne on a beer wallet, but you can still enjoy beer.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today you feel genuine sympathy for others, which is why you will go out of your way to help someone if the opportunity arises. It’s a perfect day to apply the Golden Rule.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Solitude in beautiful surroundings will appeal to you today because you have a strong urge to escape somewhere. “I gotta get outta Dodge!”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a good day to kick around ideas with friends or people in groups. In particular, you will enjoy working for a charitable organization to help those in need.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to

Feb. 18) This is a good day to ask someone in a position of authority for a favor or for approval, because this person will be sympathetic to you. Likewise, he or she will approve of your ideas.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today your idealism is aroused, which is why discussions about politics, religion and philosophical issues will interest you. You feel sympathy for those who are less fortunate.

YOU BORN TODAY You

are confident and organized, which is half the battle in life.

Fortunately, you also are a multitalented risk-taker. This year you will face a major decision. Save your money in the first half of the year and cut down on overhead expenses, because this will help you later in the year. Your integrity and patience will be tested.

China decides to end 1-child policy, start allowing 2 BEIJING (AP) — China’s ruling Communist Party announced Thursday that the country will start allowing all married couples to have two children, abolishing an unpopular policy that has limited many urban families to only one child for more than three decades.

The decision is the most significant easing of family-planning policies that were long considered some of the party’s most onerous intrusions into family life and had been gradually relaxed in recent years. The restrictions led to an imbalanced sex ratio because of a traditional preference for boys, and draconian enforcement that sometimes included forced abortions.

DNR investigation into three swans shot results in charges FORT MADISON — Three Trumpeter swans were shot on Sunday, Oct. 18, near Fort Madison, and the incident has resulted in charges being filed against three southeast Iowa men.

Richard Holbert, 70, of Fort Madison and Vinson Davis, 59, of Keokuk have pled guilty to one count each of unlawful taking of a protected non-game species, one count each of failure to exhibit game to a conservation officer and one count each of abandonment of dead wildlife.

In addition, Holbert was charged with an additional count of abandonment of dead wildlife for a wood duck that was left in a duck blind and Davis was charged with use of lead shot while waterfowl hunting. Both will also be responsible for paying $1,500 each in restitution for the Trumpeter swans.

James Conaway, 84, of Fort Madison, has pled notguilty to charges of unlawful taking of a protected non-game species, failure to exhibit game to a con-

servation officer and abandonment of dead wildlife.

If convicted, he also faces restitution costs of $1,500.

Law enforcement officers from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) investigated the incident following tips from other hunters regarding the swans being shot. During the investigation, the three dead Trumpeter swans were found hidden from view in an area near a duck blind the men had been using. The duck blind is located on property owned by

Climax Molybdenum located four miles south of Fort Madison on the Mississippi River.

“I can’t say enough about how important the information was that we received from other hunters in investigating this case.

We couldn’t have done it without them,” said DNR Conservation Officer Ben Schlader.

In addition to the charges, three shotguns, an all-terrain vehicle and a boat with oars were seized during the investigation.

School Monday night, after Creston/O-M rolled to a 3411 victory over the fifth-ranked Cyclones.

Chase Shiltz, the Class 3A rushing leader with 2,227 yards in 10 games, was the workhorse Monday with 51 carries, 363 net yards and four touchdowns. (He had 373 yards until three kneel-downs running out the clock at the end of the game.)

Shiltz busted touchdown runs of 84, 46, 68 and 3 yards.

The victory vaults Creston/O-M (6-4) into the second round Monday night at top-ranked and defending champion Pella, which was a 56-7 winner over Fairfield Wednesday night.

Mount Ayr rolls after halftime ‘soul searching’

CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER

Mount Ayr senior Nick Wurster (15) cuts behind teammate Wyatt Jackson (80) on his way to a 25-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s 37-12 playoff win over rival Bedford. Wurster had 123 yards and two touchdowns on nine carries in the win.

MOUNT AYR — Through one half here Wednesday, Bedford had Class A ninth-ranked Mount Ayr on the ropes.

The Bulldogs pushed the Raiders around in the first half and held a 6-3 advantage at halftime.

When the two teams came back out for the second half, it was a completely different story, as Mount Ayr advanced to the second round of the playoffs with a 37-12 win over the Bulldogs.

Mount Ayr, now 8-2 for the season, now hosts Colfax-Mingo (8-2) at 7 p.m.

Monday in the second round. The Tigerhawks were a 29-6 winner over Earlham on Wednesday.

“They outplayed us and out-coached us in that first half,” Mount Ayr co-coach Delwyn Showalter said.

“We had to do some soul searching and decide if we wanted to play any more football or if tonight was going to be it for us.”

The Raiders decided they wanted to continue their season and quickly took control in the second half.

Bedford picked up a pair of first downs on the first possession of the second half, but Nick Wurster recovered a fumble for Mount Ayr and the Raiders took off.

S i x plays later, junior w i n g back Cal Daughton took a reverse 55 yards for Daughton a momentum-changing touchdown with 7:16 to go in the third quarter.

A bad snap on the PAT left Jacob Taylor scrambling, but he found his way into the end zone for a 2-point conversion, making the score 11-6.

Bedford’s ensuing possession turned disastrous, only adding to Mount Ayr’s momentum.

A fumbled snap on first down led to a 7-yard loss when quarterback Joel King was tackled by Craven Martin back at the Bedford 13. Sam McMillin was then stuffed for a 3-yard loss

by Jed McCreary. Trevor Gooding’s sack on thirdand-20 dropped King at

the 3-yard line to bring up fourth-and-27.

Kyle Dolecheck returned the punt to the 7-yard line and, four plays later, scored on a 3-yard TD run to make it 17-6.

Exactly 2 minutes later, Dolecheck took a counter 6 yards for a touchdown to make it 23-6 with 1:35 left in the third quarter.

That touchdown run was set up by a Bedford fumble on a pass that was thrown backward amd recovered by Caleb Schnoor.

Wurster tacked on a pair of touchdown runs in the fourth quarter — from

29 and 25 yards — to give Mount Ayr a comfortable 37-6 margin. Bedford added one more score on a 5-yard run by Justin Folkerts with :06 remaining.

“We just got a big butt-chewing,” Daughton said about halftime. “We weren’t playing Raider football and then we finished the game strong.”

Daughton finished with 119 rushing yards on 12 carries. Wurster added 123 yards on nine carries and Please see RAIDERS, page 5S

Lenox takes care of business in opening round

Lenox running back Sam Donaldson finishes off a rugged 10-yard touchdown run by leaping into the end zone during the second quarter against Twin Cedars in the Eight-Man high school playoffs Wednesday evening.

LENOX — Their undefeated season continues.

Yes, Twin Cedars “hung around” Wednesday. But, eventually the fifth-ranked Lenox Tigers were just too much in a 60-26 victory in the first round of the EightMan District 8 high school football playoffs.

“Twin Cedars is not the type of team you let hang around. They have too many good athletes that will get you.

I told our guys to get out to a big lead e a r l y , ” Dukes said Allen Dukes, Lenox head football coach. “That just didn’t happen tonight.”

One of those good athletes is Twin Cedars running back Dakota Pinegar who showed his playmaking ability early and often. Quarterback Nick Haselhuhn hooked up with Pinegar on a 21-yard screen pass TD with 8:05 left in the first quarter. And later in the half, Pinegar took a direct snap and turned on the burners through the Tiger defense for a 61-yard score.

The Tigers (10-0) held a 28-12 lead at the half with touchdowns from Spencer Brown, Sam Donaldson and Dawson Tullberg. The most impressive of those was a punishing run by Sam Donaldson where he broke multiple tackles and finished the 10-yard touchdown run by diving into the endzone.

But, the Tigers knew the margin could have been more. They turned the ball over once in the first half and other drives were stalled by penalties, poor blocking and bad snaps.

“We made too many errors in the first half,” said Lenox quarterback Carson Cline.

“We were determ i n e d Cline to clean things up in the second half. We needed to get down to business.”

That, they did.

It took only 19 seconds for Lenox to score after halftime. Donaldson busted a 40 yard run on the first play from scrimmage, which set up Cline’s 25 yard prance to pay dirt, stretching the Tiger lead to 34-12.

Fremont-Mills handles Eagle rushing attack, wins 42-12

Junior quarterback Ryan Collins (12) looks for running room to the outside during Wednesday night’s game versus Fremont-Mills. The stingy Fremont-Mills run defense held Collins to 20 yards on eight carries and limited leading rusher Mike Ward to 45 yards on 13 carries.

By IAN RICHARDSON CNA staff reporter

irichardson@crestonnews.com

TABOR — On the second play of the game, it seemed as if East Union had stolen the momentum.

After Fremont-Mills returned the opening kickoff to its own 34-yard line, quarterback Mason Vanatta fumbled on the first play from scrimmage. East Union’s Beau Boswell fell on top of the ball, and the Eagles had their first opportunity to showcase an offense that had ranked sixth in Iowa Eight-Man for total yardage during the regular season.

But, Fremont-Mills, the

2-seed from District 8, had the Eagles’ number on defense in what would turn out to be a tough night for the Eagles to consistently move the ball.

After gaining one first down on a pass from junior quarterback Ryan Collins to junior Mason Gossman, the Eagles turned the ball over on downs. The Knights then drove down the field, taking an 8-0 lead on a seven-yard run by junior Parker Powers. That lead jumped to 14-0 five minutes later, when Powers returned a punt 58 yards and into the endzone.

Fremont-Mills would go on to defeat East Union, the 3-seed from District 7, by a score of 42-12 in the open-

ing round of the state playoffs. It was the two teams’ second meeting in as many years; the Knights had won a 53-20 victory over the Eagles in the first round of last year’s Eight-Man playoffs.

In the first half, Fremont-Mills kept the Eagles out of the endzone until 1:37 left in the second quarter, when Gossman Sanden Cheers connected with Mason Gossman for a 12-yard touchdown pass. But Fremont-Mills answered 1:03 later when Vanatta found

junior Carter Jennings for a 16-yard score.

For most of the game, the Eagles found themselves in passing situations on a frigid, windy night that made it tough to throw or catch the ball consistently. Fremont-Mills picked off four passes in the game.

“We’re more used to running than we are passing,” East Union co-head coach James Hardy said. “I can’t say it was one of those nights that it was easy to catch the ball or throw it — either one.”

Mike Ward, who came into the game with the third-highest rushing yardage in Eight-Man and a 7.7 yards per carry average,

finished the first half with 18 yards on eight carries and ended the game with 45 yards on 13 carries and no touchdowns. Cheers added 21 yards on six carries, and Ryan Collins added 20 yards on eight carries.

Hardy said Fremont-Mills’ success targeting Ward, as well as Gossman, the Eagles’ leading receiver, made a major difference in the game.

“They keyed on our key players, filled our gaps well,” he said. “We weren’t able to break open as much as we’d have liked to on our offense.”

The Eagles added a score late in the game when Cheers found Goss-

man again for a 48-yard fourth-quarter touchdown.

Gossman finished with 93 yards on six receptions.

For Fremont-Mills, Powers and Sam Phillips were active on both sides of the ball. Phillips racked up 170 yards on 17 carries, 64 of which came on a breakaway touchdown run in the third quarter. He added two interceptions and seven total tackles on defense.

Powers ended the game with 47 yards on seven carries and two touchdowns.

He also had two interceptions and four total tackles on defense and 100 yards Please see EAGLES, Page 6S

Members of the Murray football team display their state playoff qualifier banner after a 64-26 loss to Moravia in the first round of the Eight-Man playoffs on Wednesday.

Moravia pulls the reigns on Murray’s upset hopes

By JAKE WADDINGHAM Special to the CNA

MORAVIA – With four seconds left in the first half, Murray had undefeated Moravia on its heels. The Mustangs led 20-14 and were able to flush Mohawk quarterback Briar Cochran from the pocket as time expired.

Cochran hurled a 28-yard prayer to the endzone and teammate Jake Martin collected the deflected pass for the equalizer, 20-20. Despite missing the 2-point conversion, the big play to end the half was the tinder needed to help the Mohawk offense catch fire in the second half.

The Mohawks defeated Murray 64-26 to maintain their perfect record, 10-0, and continue their postseason. Moravia will face Colo-Nesco 7 p.m. Monday in the second round.

“We haven’t been used to being in close games this year,” said Moravia head coach Denny Whitlow. “We stayed calm in the first half

and continued to play our game. We learned we can stay calm, make the adjustments and come away with a victory.”

Murray finishes the season 3-7 and graduates three seniors – Fisher Decker, Dylan Calstrom and Zane Hatfield.

“We’ve got a great group of kids, but we are still awfully young, a lot of guys are still learning,” said Murray head coach Taylor Fulton.

“We are a talented team, but we can’t afford to make mistakes. We’ve got to execute every down.”

a touchdown, 8-6.

Penalties plagued Murray in the first quarter. Dustin Teas was able to find a hole and win a footrace to the endzone, but the play was called back because of an

illegal block in the back.

Murray also struggled with illegal motion penalties in their option packages.

Murray opened the second quarter with another strong scoring drive. Jack

Strong start Murray put together a strong opening drive. Decker scampered to the outside and spun off of a defender to put the Mustangs on the board, 8-0.

“We came out with high energy,” Fulton said. “If you can’t get pumped up for a playoff game, I don’t know what you can get pumped up for.”

Moravia returned the subsequent kickoff 77 yards for

Jones broke loose on a 56yard run for the score at 8:40, 14-6.

Moravia tied the game with a 48-yard touchdown run by Sam Clouse with 5:19 remaining in the half.

Murray’s Bryce Keller snagged a deep pass from Decker in traffic to set up Murray’s final score of the half. Decker found the goal line from four yards out to go ahead 20-14.

“Moravia is a very talented team,” Fulton said.

“They came out with a great offensive plan and we had trouble stopping the crossing patterns.”

Murray junior running back Jack Jones finds the open field en route to a touchdown for the Mustangs Wednesday night against Moravia. Jones had 199 rushing yards on 25 carries before leaving the game in the third quarter with an injury.

Moravia’s drive to open the second half took 2:25, securing its first lead of the game 28-20. Cochran found his favorite target this season, Avery Waybill, three times for passing scores in the second half.

“We felt we could pass against Murray if we had time,” Whitlow said. “We have plenty of playmakers on this team. It is just get-

ting them out there and getting them going.”

Murray’s only scoring drive came halfway through the third quarter when Jones tiptoed down the sideline to avoid the Mohawk defenders on a 41-yard touchdown run, 36-26.

One of the big reasons for the decline in Murray’s offensive production was a halftime adjustment by Moravia. Mohawk defender Chase Snyder matched up one-on-one with Jones, tracking him everywhere on the field to reduce the big play threat.

Jones left the game in the third quarter with an injury and did not return. He finished the game with 25 carries for 199 yards. Dylan Callstrom led the team in tackles, including three tackles for loss.

“That adjustment was a big key,” Whitlow said. “I couldn’t be more proud of the boys. They believed in themselves, believed in each other and that was how we were able to get the win tonight.”

Wolverines seek second boys team title

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

FORT DODGE — Nodaway Valley hopes to bring a more lethal strain of its “Black Plague” to the State Cross Country Meet here Saturday.

The Wolverine’s trophy hopes were dashed here last year, as the Class 1A field survived the Black Plague. Nodaway Valley finished fourth, one spot out of a trophy finish, but just eight points back of Denver for third and 11 points back of West Fork for second place.

With a year of state meet experience under their belts, and all of last year’s varsity runners returning, the Wolverines are in good position to make an appearance on the deck at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course at the end of the day Saturday.

“It could be close like last year,” head coach Darrell Burmeister said.

“We’re hoping to improve on that fourth-place finish last year and get on the deck, at least. I think that would be a good accomplishment for those guys.”

Burmeister predicted defending champion and third-ranked Bellevue, second-ranked Iowa City Regina, fourth-ranked Pekin and fifth-ranked Denver to be the top challengers for top-ranked Nodaway Valley.

Bellevue has the top-ranked individual in Class 1A in Andrew Meyer, with Andrew Sagella ranked 13th. Denver has 10th-ranked Curran Mathias. Nodaway Valley junior Shane Breheny is ranked fourth.

Winning formula

Breheny figures to be in the lead pack competing for an individual championship. The Wolverine junior finished seventh a year ago.

“Shane is feeling good. Knowing Shane, he’ll go out fast like he always does,” Burmeister said. “I think he’s a little tougher-minded this year. I think he’ll be in the hunt.

His goal is to win it, so he’ll give it everything he’s got.”

Meyer and Sagella from Bellevue, along with third-ranked Andrew Stumbo of Ogden will likely be top contenders, individually. Stumbo is the only Class 1A runner to beat Breheny in a race this year.

Breheny, ranked fourth in Class 1A, knocked off second-ranked Boyer Valley junior Zach Ambrose at the State Qualifying Meet.

With Breheny in the mix in the lead pack, the rest of the Wolverines have certain benchmarks they’ll need to hit in order to win the program’s second boys state championship and first since 2002.

The Wolverines won the Class 1A championship that year and finished runner-up in Class 2A the following year.

Burmeister said he’s hoping for a 40-second spread from Breheny through the team’s fifth scorer.

“We’re looking at three in the 16s and two in the low 17:10s would definitely win it,” he said. “You’ve got to get your kids under 17:30.

That’s a key in Class 1A. A lot of kids come in around 17:50 to 18:10.

If you can get six kids under 17:30, you’re looking really good with dis-

placement scoring.”

Junior Brayten Funke, seniors Heath Downing and Nate Venteicher and sophomores Brycen Wallace and Skylar Rawlings have formed a fluid two through six for the Wolverines this year.

Funke and Downing have each competed at the state meet twice in their careers. Funke, Downing, Wallace and Venteicher all joined Breheny as individual qualifiers this year.

Burmeister said any of those two through six runners could find their way into the top-15 all-state if they have a good day.

Either junior Dallas Kreager or sophomore Matthew Dickinson, coming off a foot injury, will be the seventh runner for the Wolverines.

That will be determined based on workouts in practice this week.

“I think a 17:00 to 17:10 average of your top five will win it,” Burmeister said. “They’re all capable of that. Just have to stay healthy and hit it on Saturday. We’ll need one of their best races of the year on Saturday.”

FORT DODGE — When area harriers take to the State Cross Country Meet course here Saturday at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course, two seniors will be running the course for the last time, two seniors will take their first crack at the course and a pair of juniors look to improve on prior state meet performances.

Creston senior Cooper McDermott and Nodaway Valley senior Destiny Scar are each ranked in the top six in their respective classes and both look to be contending at the front of the pack Saturday.

McDermott, ranked fourth in Class 3A, is a four-time individual qualifier. He qualified as a freshman for Newton and has finished 46th and 13th the past two years for Creston.

A top 15 finish Saturday would make McDermott Creston’s fourth all-state runner, joining Paul Hoff and Mike Linch from the late 1980s and Scott Vicker from 2006. Hoff was a four-time top-10 finisher, placing seventh twice and fourth twice.

Linch and Vicker each finished 10th.

This is the first year the top 15 are considered all-state.

In previous years, top 10 was earned runners all-state honors.

But McDermott has his sights set on more than just a top-15 finish.

“I really just want to run the best I can,” McDermott said.

“The ultimate goal would be try to win. But top 10 for sure.

But I just want to go out and run the best I can.”

Top challengers in Class 3A will be top-ranked Mount Pleasant junior Logan Murray, second-ranked Mount Vernon senior Reid Smock, third-ranked Adam Sievers of

Pella and sixth-ranked Alex Thompson of Dallas Center-Grimes.

“One of the goals is to reach the deck,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said.

“He’s been shooting for this moment for a long time.”

Scar, meanwhile, will be one of the top contenders in Class 1A. Ranked sixth, Scar will have to contend with Durant senior Alyssa Williams and Pekin senior Gwynne Wright, the top two ranked runners in the state. Bellevue sophomore Camryn Reeg is ranked third, with Central Elkader’s Haley Schroder and Ciera Deitchler ranked fourth and fifth.

“Hopefully Destiny will be in the top three competing for it,” Burmeister said. “Destiny is a lot stronger this year and has more speed, and is healthy.”

First timers

Creston senior Jessica Beatty will be making her first

appearance at the State Cross Country Meet.

Beatty’s summer training paid off in a big way when she finished 15th at last week’s Class 3A State Qualifying Meet, earning the final qualifying spot.

In three previous State Qualifying Meets, Beatty finished 56th as a freshman, 49th as a sophomore and 43rd as a junior.

“This is a great way for her to finish out her cross country career,” Schlapia said. “Her hard work, heart and determination has got her to this point.”

A veteran of the Co-ed State Track Meet, Lenox senior Jacob Bolinger will also be making his first appearance at the State Cross Country Meet on Saturday.

Bolinger is a two-time state qualifier at 800 meters in track.

He punched his ticket to the State Cross Country Meet by finishing 14th at last week’s

Class 1A State Qualifying Meet in Treynor. The Lenox senior has spent time in the individual top-30 rankings this year.

Improvement

Juniors Ben Irr of Creston and Emma Harper of East Union will look to improve on prior state meet performances.

Irr qualified as an individual for the first time with his 14th-place finish at last week’s Class 3A State Qualifying Meet.

But he has state meet experience, having competed on Creston’s boys team that qualified in 2013. That year, Irr lost a shoe early in the race and finished 92nd in 17:57.

After suffering through an injury-plagued year last year, Irr has put together a successful junior campaign and makes his return to the state meet.

“With Ben being healthy, he hasn’t backed off from anything,” Schlapia said. “He

was really focused on being able to qualify as an individual. He’s going to give it his best shot.”

Harper made it a perfect 3-for-3 qualifying for the state meet with her fourth-place finish at last week’s Class 1A State Qualifying Meet.

The East Union junior finished 17th in 15:44.1 as a freshman at the state meet, but came in 31st last year in 16:09.4 for the 4K course.

Now racing the 5K distance, Harper hopes to rebound from last year’s state meet performance and claim a top-15 medal.

Harper is not currently ranked, but has been ranked throughout the year. At the State Qualifying Meet, Harper finished within nine seconds of 18th-ranked Brianna Hoffman of Panorama.

She also finished ahead of 23rd-ranked Payton Sporrer of IKM-Manning and 24thranked Morgan Allen of Earlham.

Former Panthers deal with injuries on 8-0 Bearcat team

Northwest Missouri State defensive end Collin Bevins of Creston (11) celebrates a tackle for loss durig the fourth quarter of the Bearcats’ 45-24 homecoming victory over Fort Hays State Saturday in Maryville, Mo. Bevins had six total tackles as third-ranked Northwest improved to 8-0 for the season, dropping Fort Hays State to 5-3. The Bearcats play at 1 p.m.

Saturday at Missouri Western in St. Joseph, Mo. Next home game is 6 p.m. Nov. 7 against Emporia State.

MARYVILLE, Mo. — Both defensive linemen from Creston on the Northwest Missouri State University football team have encountered injury setbacks this years, but one of them has still been able to contribute substantially on the field toward the undefeated season to date.

Defensive end Collin Bevins, transfer from Iowa State after his freshman redshirt year, is in a three-man rotation at the two defensive end positions for the Bearcats. The 6-6, 286-pound junior suffered a torn labrum in his left hip during the first game of the season at Nebraska-Kearney.

At first, it was feared immediate surgery would be required to repair the injury. But, after two weeks of rehabilitation, he decided to play this season and delay

surgery until after the season.

Sophomore Keaton Hulett, meanwhile, was fighting a torn rear labrum in his left shoulder that occurred during spring football. Finally, when it continued to deteriorate despite stabilization efforts with braces and rehab, he underwent season-ending surgery a month ago.

He has the option of using 2015 as a medical redshirt season after also redshirting his freshman year.

So, he still has three years of eligibility.

It’s been a roller coaster of emotions for both former Creston/O-M Panthers. But, the constant has been the winning culture of the Bearcat program where another former Panther, Dane Wardenburg, once won a national title as an offensive tackle. (Wardenburg served as a graduate assistant at Northwest after his playing career and is now an assistant coach at Iowa Western Community Col-

lege.)

Homecoming win

The Bearcats celebrated a successful homecoming weekend Saturday with a 45-24 victory over Fort Hays State, improving to 8-0 overall and in MIAA play.

Northwest is ranked third in the AFCA Top 25 poll.

In Saturday’s victory, Bevins had one solo tackle, six assisted tackles, and a tackle for loss in the fourth quarter. For the season, he has 23 tackles with 9.5 tackles for losses and three quarterback sacks. He has also recovered a fumble.

“We have a three-man rotation,” Bevins explained after the game. “It’s with Cass Weitl and Bobby Gruenloh. I’ll go out after six plays, then come back in after three.”

Dolecheck had nine carries for 90 yards.

“We told them, you have to play and that could be it,” Showalter said about the halftime talk. “Obviously for the seniors, that’s a pretty sobering thought.

“That second half, they picked up a couple of first downs to start the half, but we were playing on their side of the ball.

It seemed like we got Showalter that first turnover and that started to snowball.

That started to build confidence. That series where we knocked them back and had them pinned on the goal line, our confidence level was through the roof.”

Momentum changer

Wurster’s fumble recovery started the momentum swing, but it was Daughton’s 55-yard touchdown run that really ignited the Raiders.

Taylor pitched the ball to Wurster, who handed off to Daughton. Daughton bounced the run outside and outran the Bedford defense down the sideline.

“The run I had was supposed to be on the inside,” Daughton said. “They plugged the hole, I went on the outside. It was a good feeling to get out there and outrun them all. I’m like, ‘well what am I going to do now?’ And just cut it outside and took it to the house.”

“We pitch it to Nick (Wurster) and then he hands it off to our wingback going the other way,” cocoach and offensive coordinator Derek Lambert said.

“Our guys did a great job of blocking it.

“On that reverse play, their defensive end had really sucked down to the inside. We’re supposed to kick him out, but Lincoln Lutrick, our guard, did a great job of logging him to the inside and Cal read that and made the cut to the outside and down the sideline he went.”

The Raiders never looked back after that touchdown.

After Daughton’s touchdown run, Bedford lost three more fumbles and punted twice, before driving for the final touchdown in the waning seconds.

“That’s the huge momentum shift,” Lambert said.

“The real key thing is taking advantage when that momentum is in your favor

and I thought our guys did a great job of that in the second half. Opportunity knocks and we did a great job when it knocked. We were ready to bust through that door and our guys kept the foot down on the pedal.”

Bedford co-coach and offensive coordinator Jeremy Nally said after a strong first half that could have ended with a bigger lead than 6-3 if it weren’t for penalties that stalled Bedford drives, the Bulldogs gave Mount Ayr too many opportunities in the second half.

“They’re a well-coached team and have a lot of good athletes. We respect them as a team,” Nally said. “If you give them a chance to put their foot on your throat, they’re going to do it. That’s what good teams do.”

Raider football

Known for being a physical and punishing team up front, Mount Ayr struggled in the first half.

Bedford opened up numerous running lanes in the first half and executed long, sustained drives.

“I thought we were doing a good job of being more dimensional, but without the pass,” Nally said. “We were mixing inside runs with outside runs to open up some stuff.”

“Opportunity knocks and we did a great job when it knocked.

We were ready to bust through that door and our guys kept the foot down on the pedal.”

Mount Ayr co-coach

“First half, we were really never able to stop what they were doing,” Showalter said. “We kind of lucked out a few times and made a play.”

At halftime, the team talked about getting back to playing Raider football.

“We just knew we had to get back to Raider football,” Lambert said. “We feel like we’ve always been known for being extremely physical and I didn’t feel like we were physical in the

first half on either side of the ball. They were whipping us up front.”

After Mount Ayr managed just five first downs in the first half and Bedford picked up eight, the Raiders used their physicality in the second half to flip the script.

Mount Ayr had eight first downs in the second half, working with several short fields. Bedford had nine more first downs in the second half, but six of those came on the final 14-play scoring drive, including one on a roughing the kicker penalty.

The Raiders held Bedford to just 229 yards of offense in the game, all on the ground. Clay Cox finished with 115 yards on 25 carries.

“Survive and advance,” Showalter said. “That’s what’s important. That’s what we did tonight. Second half, we played awfully well. Overall, it wasn’t a real pretty game, but that second half was pretty darn good-looking, I thought.”

“Second half was Raider football,” Lambert said.

“We get another opportunity to play at home. That’s a huge key for us. We think that gives us a huge advantage. We get another chance to showcase what we do on our home field.”

Moments later, Tullberg pretty well delivered the knockout blow when Cline spiraled it to him in stride on a crossing pattern and Tullberg bolted 45 yards for a TD, giving Lenox a 40-12 lead.

“Our defense just ran out of gas in the second half,” said Twin Cedars head coach Aaron Allspach.

Cline finished 11-of-22 passing for 214 yards and 3 TDs and two rushing TDs. Donaldson was Lenox’s leading rusher with 129 yards and three scores and Tullberg had eight receptions for 167 yards and two TDs. Allspach mentioned that Lenox defensive end Spencer Brown really disrupted their offense.

“Even when we ran the ball away from (Brown), he would make tackles on the backside. He’s a player,” Allspach said.

Brown finished the game with five solo tackles, seven assists and two quarterback sacks.

Jared Hensley and Josh Mitchell were around the football all night.

Hensley had nine solo tackles and seven assists. Mitchell tallied three solos, eight assists and one quarterback sack.

Twin Cedars finishes its season 5-5 overall. Meanwhile, Lenox advances to face East Mills 7 p.m. Monday in a district rematch. The Tigers defeated East Mills earlier this month

38-12 in Lenox.

“We played better in the second half tonight, but we still have things to clean up before Monday,” Dukes said.

adversely affected his onfield performance, but he knows surgery will be necessary when the season is over.

“There are certain times when I get a real sharp pain down my leg, then it goes away,” Bevins aid. “Before I came back, I had to do two weeks of therapy, some workout running. That really helped me come back. I’m pretty happy about it. We have a great defense, our offense is clicking now, and our special teams are doing well.

So I’m pretty excited to see where this goes.”

Formerly wearing No. 34, Bevins now wears a quarterback number (11), but says he harbors no desire to take a Wildcat formation snap from center and rumble with the ball. He just wanted a change.

“I wanted to change it up, spice things up a bit,” he said.

“There’s no particular reason why I chose 11.”

second time. He suffered a front labrum tear in his shoulder as a freshman.

“I dislocated it four times in three months after it happened in the spring, so we decided to get the surgery,” Hulett said. “We were trying to fight it and take care of it after the season. I tried to keep it intact with tape on it, a brace. I had three support systems on it and it kept coming out. It’s a struggle, but you have to battle through it.”

Academically, Hulett is a sophomore with three years left to play, if he so chooses.

But there are other considerations.

Hulett said. “The vantage point in coming back right now is spring ball.

I can take a medical redshirt if I want to.

I have a lot to think about. I Hulett want to be an electrician eventually, and that’s two more years after this.

We’ll just see how things go.

After it happens twice, you

don’t want to rush it.”

The Bearcats travel to Missouri Western this week for a 1 p.m. kickoff in St. Joseph.

bolted 84 yards and Evan Jacobson kicked the extra point as the Panthers took a 7-3 lead into halftime.

Jacobson and the Panther kickoff team executed a successful onside kick to start the second half, taking possession at midfield. On third down of the first series, Shiltz scampered 46 yards for a 14-3 lead.

“It was coach McKim’s scheme that we’ve worked on for two weeks,” Morrison said. “It was a matter of what Harlan showed, tendency-wise. We made the call at the half that we’re going to do it. Jacobson’s done a great job. You think about how we lost a Division II college kicker in (Conner) Pals, and we haven’t missed a beat.”

After holding the Cyclones on downs again, the Panthers converted another quick scoring drive as Shiltz busted into the secondary on third-and-4 from his own 32 for a 68-yard scoring jaunt to make it 20-3.

On Harlan’s next possession Panther senior Chris Foster fell on a Cyclone fumble after a pass to Sears with Smallwood on the coverage.

27-3 lead

Creston/O-M made it 27-3 with 3:18 left in the third quarter as Shiltz barrelled into the end zone on fourthand-goal from the 3-yard line, again in the team’s short-yard- Shiltz age “tank” formation in which Johannknecht leaves the game and extra offensive linemen are brought in.

“Hypothetically, you can account for the safety with an extra blocker when you don’t have the quarterback,” McKim said. “Chase is very good at staying tight to his blocks, and being patient. People underestimate how important it is as a tailback to set your blocks up, and stay tight to the block.

Then when you make cuts, that’s how you run by people.”

The Cyclone passing game clicked on the next series, ending in Juhl’s scoring toss to Sears, who also caught the 2-point pass to make it a two-possession game at 27-11 with 1:54 to play in the third quarter.

Panther summary

Creston/O-M’s Seth Maitlen (26) runs ahead of Harlan’s Brett Croghan (45) with a 56-yard pass reception to the Cyclone 14-yard line Wednesday night. Matilen also had a team-high nine tackles from his inside linebacker position.

But Creston/O-M controlled the ball for much of the early stages of the fourth quarter, including a 12-yard pickup on fourth-and-1 by Shiltz out of the direct snap formation. Bolinger tried a fake punt run on fourth down at the Cyclone 36, but came up short.

Juhl completed only one of his next seven passes and the Panther defense held up, as Frain got his interception going into the end zone with 4:01 left in the game, right after the final Panther TD by Mikkelsen.

“Our pass defense was really good tonight,” Morrison said. “We didn’t send any extra pressures at them, which allowed us to have more peo- Morrison ple in coverage. Our lines, on both sides of the football, are really playing well right now.”

Kadon Hulett and Kaden Wilson had effective nights at defensive end putting pressure on Juhl, who was much more comfortable in finding his receivers in the first meeting.

“We’ve been working on our pass rush,” Hulett said.

“Once we got into his face a little more, it got them on the rollouts and that kind of thing. The secondary stepped up this game. That was big.”

Going into the game, Morrison wanted the Panthers to contain the Cyclone rushing game spearheaded

by Tarney, who had 1,112 yards and 16 touchdowns in the regular season.

Mission accomplished.

Harlan had only 66 net rushing yards for the night.

“We made an adjustment so they wouldn’t have an easy bounce out to the outside, which they did last game,” Hulett s a i d . “ T h e y couldn’t get an edge and Hulett you could tell they were getting frustrated.”

Defensive consistency

Morrison, the team’s defensive coordinator, said the team showed for an entire 48 minutes what he’d seen in glimpses during the season, interspersed with big plays allowed. But not on

this night, against one of the best offenses in the state.

“It’s having confidence in what we’re doing and improving every day,” Morrison said. “It helped a ton having Brody Frain back at free safety. He understands what we do back there and plays the position well. You can see what Chase Shiltz is when he can just concentrate on being a running back for us and stay fresh.”

Johannknecht was 4-of-10 for 102 yards, for more than 20 yards per completion.

“We missed a couple in the first half that would have been touchdowns,” McKim said.

“When you run the ball like we do, even when you know (backside screen) is McKim coming, It’s challenging.”

What Shiltz has done the past two games — running for 340 and 363 yards — is remarkable, both in production and durability. He iced a sore hand after Wednesday’s game, but otherwise has held up well, recovering from a shoulder stinger a

“He’s pretty special,” Morrison said. “Our line does an outstanding job of creating holes for him, and he has great vision. Once he gets away in space, not many people can catch up to him.”

Bladt said his team couldn’t match the Panthers physically on this night.

“They just wore us down,” he said. “Because we couldn’t keep the ball on offense, and that allowed them to punish us on defense, and that was the difference in the ball game. I wouldn’t call it surprising.

We knew they had a good football team, but we figured we could put some points on the board. That’s the surprising part — that we didn’t respond and get it

done on offense.”

Shiltz said the Panther line, large for Class 3A standards, is giving him opportunities.

“The guys up front are so big and powerful, they’re getting a good push,” Shiltz said. “They just open up a hole and I bust through it and do the rest. The key in ‘tank’ is, it opens up real late, so once it does you gotta go through it real quick.

Once you get through it, you’re pretty much in the open. They can’t really load a side, because I can (audible) call the other side. And we have a couple of read options in there, too.

“I think we just got our heads right,” Shiltz added.

“We knew after the first game we could beat them.

We got things figured out.”

and a touchdown on special teams.

Vanatta added 100 yards and two touchdowns passing, and Carter Jennings had four receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown.

While he said the loss was a tough one, Hardy said he was proud of his players for the season they put together. He said it was another step in the right direction for the Eagles, who improved from 5-5 last season to 6-4 this year.

“That’s the thing I told the boys: We’ve improved,” Hardy said.

“That’s the thing you’ve got to keep in mind, is from last season to this season, we Hardy wanted to have much more improvement, and that’s exactly what we’ve done.”

This year’s team will graduate six seniors: Bobby Hepner, Brandon Lee, Clayton Miller, Mike

QueStionS & attitude Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

How will losing Matt Kenseth affect NASCAR?

3 THINGS WE LEARNED AT TALLADEGA

Speed freakS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Has your championship prediction changed?

GODSPEAK: I was with Harvick, but that Logano bandwagon is loud, fast and tempting.

KEN'S CALL: I've been with Joey for a long time now.

Anyone see a reason to change?

Small picture: Not so much.

For all of Matt’s Mad Matt is hiding achievements behind Mild Matt’s in NASCAR, he’s shades. ASSOCIATED never been one PRESS / BUTCH DILL you’d make the focus of a marketing campaign. So the Chase will survive without him. Big picture, however: He put the lumber to the Boys in Competition.

Mild Matt?

Yep, and he did it out of frustration, anger, whatever, but coming from him, there was bad mojo in the review of the messy Talladega finish, with all the finger-pointing at Kevin Harvick and “the system.” Said Matt: “I just feel like they lost total control of this whole thing. It's not what racing is all about.”

That’s bad stuff.

Lot of big names out.

Concerned?

GODSPEAK: Sorry to see Dale Jr. go because he always makes the storyline a bit more compelling.

KEN'S CALL: Junior's exit hurts, but all these guys are familiar to racin' fans, so it's not like a bunch of strangers are in the hunt.

And your feelings?

I stand by my long-held view that no race should finish under yellow, regardless of how many restarts it takes.

And once you start tinkering with the number of restarts allowed, particularly midweek, you’re begging for trouble. As a topper, the Chase’s laws of unintended consequences hit hard at Talladega.

Ironically, it was Kenseth’s tedious march to the 2003 championship that helped pave the way for the Chase.

Good news for Tony Stewart: This didn’t wreck any championship hopes for the No. 14 team. ASSOCIATED

Can Joey four-peat at Martinsville?

PRESS / MARK ALMOND

1. Ain’t over until …

GODSPEAK: Statistically, no.

With Matt Kenseth in the field, absolutely not.

KEN'S CALL: I don't really consider Talladega a win for him, so who cares?

A race isn’t over until NASCAR says it is over. NASCAR said there would be one green-white-checkered flag sequence, if needed, at Talladega. Turns out there were two, kinda. On the second restart, Kevin Harvick veered into Trevor Bayne, and about a third of the field crashed before reaching Turn 1.

Harvick, who advanced in

the Chase due to the wreck, became the big focus of unwanted attention.

2. Most disappointed There were many. Among them, Ryan Newman, who was in position to make Chase Round 3, but the “Big One” took him out. He was frustrated at NASCAR, fuming, “Well, I guess if you come up with a new rule every week,

we’ll have something to talk about, won’t we?”

3. Drive for five Jeff Gordon’s hopes for a fifth NASCAR Cup Series championship moved forward into Chase Round 3. “Watch out," Gordon said, "we have something for them these next three or four.” Maybe, finally, a win in his going-away season?

1. Say goodnight, Gracie Sunday’s NASCAR Cup race at Talladega was the last race of Chase Round 2. Four title contenders were knocked out of the playoffs. The unfortunate four were Dale Earnhardt Jr., Ryan Newman, Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin. All were a bit grumpy after the race. “I really can’t spin any positive on it right now,” Hamlin said of his day.

2. Four straight?

Joey Logano had the option to coast at Talladega but chose to go the distance and

success. “We've got momentum,” he said. “This team has been firing on all eight right now.”

Hamlin

3. Clever move Denny Hamlin’s championship hopes flamed out at Talladega.

ASSOCIATED PRESS / RUSSELL NORRIS

was rewarded with his third consecutive victory. He swept all the races in Chase Round 2. Has the driver of the No. 22 Ford used up all his luck, or can he make it four straight wins? Logano sees more

DENNY HAMLIN VS. KEVIN HARVICK: Harvick ignited the “Big One” on the last green-flag lap, which swept Hamlin out of the Chase.

Kevin Harvick’s No. 4 Chevy had the speed of a moped in the closing laps at Talladega.

Something went bad in the engine. He had to score a good finish to advance to Chase Round 3. It appears Harvick love-tapped Trevor Bayne on the restart, igniting the race-ending crash that froze Harvick in 15th. Now he must deal with a fistfull of upset drivers the next three weeks. Good luck with that.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: The consensus was that Harvick caused the wreck to advance in the playoffs. He didn’t make many friends, which could haunt him in the next three weeks.
