Australian student pursues Bill Northey basketball, education at comments Southwestern on Iowa crops Sergio Antelmi studied at Black Hills State University last year.

The main reason Sergio Antelmi came to the U.S. from Sydney, Australia, was to play college-level basketball.

“It’s an up-and-coming thing in Australia where they’re trying to bring kids to the U.S. because there are more opportunities here,” said Antelmi, 20.

“Back home, there’s no level of basketball after high school. It’s pretty much just going professional, and that’s really hard to do.”

Last year, Antelmi had his first experience studying abroad at Black Hills State University in Spearfish, South Dakota. There, he played Division II basketball and studied physical education.

Now, he’s in his first year at Southwestern Community College (SWCC).

“I got injured last year; I broke my collar bone.

So I was out for a while,” Antelmi said. “My coach there knew the coach here (at SWCC), so they were talking, and I decided to come here and start fresh.”

At SWCC, Antelmi plays forward center on the basketball team and is taking physical education classes.

“He’s 6’7”, a strong guy, so he definitely provides some stability,” said Todd Lorensen, head men’s basketball coach at SWCC. “He shoots better than the traditional big man ... and he’s good enough to kind of adjust as needed.”

Antelmi has been studying, in part, through basketball scholarships and plans to stay at SWCC for two years. After that, he hopes to study for two more years at another college in the U.S. before going back

to Australia. He’s unsure which college he’d like to attend next.

“Financially, it’s hard for me, so I’ll go wherever will give me a scholarship,” Antelmi said.

Though he doesn’t have concrete plans for his future yet, Antelmi said he is interested in teaching physical education and coaching. While attending Black Hills State, he got his first insight into coaching.

He helped coach first graders, and he said it was fun but challenging because

Cause of house fire in Lorimor unknown

LORIMOR — The cause of a rural Iowa structure fire last week remains unknown.

According to Dave McMillen, Lorimor fire chief, Lorimor firefighters responded to a house fire south of Lorimor at about 10 p.m. Thursday.

The house, owned by Bob Brown of Thayer, was fully engulfed by the time firefighters arrived, and the roof had collapsed.

harvested,” Northey said.

“Corn and bean harvest are both ahead of last year and the five-year average. The warm, windy weather early in the week allowed crops to dry quickly before much of the state got some moisture on Friday that slowed things down.”

Harvest activities continued rapidly early in the week but slowed down last Friday due to rain, according to the USDA. Statewide there were 5.4 days suitable for fieldwork during the week ending Oct. 25, down 1.5 days from the previous week. Iowa

A cause remains unknown because of the extent of the damage to the structure, which was vacant at the time of the fire.

“It was kind of an unknown cause ... because the house was too far gone by the time we got there,” McMillen said. “The only thing we can determine out of that was when we got it put out, the fire started on the west side of the house at the basement access.”

Later, the fire rekindled because of the wind, and a Please see FIRE, Page 2

Deaths Norma Crago Creston

Norma Jean Crago, 87, of Creston died Thursday, Oct. 29, 2015, at Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston.

Celebration of life services will be 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4, at Powers Funeral Home, junction of highways 34 and 25, in Creston.

Burial will be in Graceland Cemetery in Creston. Open visitation will be 2 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral home. Memorials are to be established in her name. Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Norma Jean Crago, daughter of Josephine (Keefer) Crago and Arthur Monroe Crago, was born Jan. 4, 1928, in Union County.

Norma graduated from Creston Schools in 1946 and later graduated from A.I.B. School of Business in Des Moines. She settled in Des

Moines where she worked as an office manager for KPMG Peat Marwick audit, advisory and tax services for 43 years. She retired in October of 1990. Norma moved to Creston in May of 1997.

Norma was a member of First Baptist Church and the Christian Women’s Club.

Norma is survived by brothers, James (wife Linda) Crago of Shannon City and Ed Crago of Creston; sister-in-law Judy Crago; nieces Vicki (husband Tony) Allen of Diagonal, Lisa (husband David) Chapin of Fort Dodge, Carolyn (husband Don) Ketter of Washington and Rita (husband Gary) Michaels of Colorado and nephew Jim (wife Mary Lynn) Baker of Creston.

Norma was preceded in death by her parents, sister Dorothy Baker and brother Dean Crago.

Gasoline prices continue to fall GasBuddy’s senior petroleum analyst from the northeast expects retail prices to fall 10 to 12 more cents in November.

■

Average retail gasoline prices in Iowa have fallen 5.1 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.40/ gallon Sunday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 2,036 gas outlets in Iowa.

This compares with the national average that has fallen 5.2 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.20/gallon, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.

Including the change in gas prices in Iowa during the past week, prices Sunday were 66.8 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 7.6 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has decreased 8.5

cents per gallon during the last month and stands 83.9 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

“October ends with the Halloween tradition of trick-or-treating. The good news for drivers is that the treats should extend into November,” said Jeff Pelton, GasBuddy’s senior petroleum analyst for the northeast. “As refineries finish up their planned and in some cases unplanned (notably in the Midwest) rounds of maintenance, gasoline should return to the pumps at very high levels. That, coupled with the lower demand that comes with the fall season, should push November retail prices to fall another 10 to 12 cents.”

farmers were still able to harvest one-fifth of the state’s corn crop during the week.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 5 percent very short, 19 percent short, 73 percent adequate and 3 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 4 percent very short, 14 percent short, 77 percent adequate and 5 percent surplus.

Seventy-three percent of the corn crop for grain has been harvested, 12 days ahead of last year and three

days ahead of the five-year average. Moisture content of all corn being harvested was at 16 percent, down 1 percentage point from the previous week with scattered reports of grain coming out of the field and going straight into the bin. Ninety-two percent of the soybean crop has been harvested, nine days ahead of last year and two days ahead of normal. Harvest progress of both corn and soybeans in southwest and south central Iowa continued to lag behind the rest of the state.

Truck spills 22 tons of pizza dough, flour in Arizona crash PAGE, Ariz. (AP) — A big rig loaded with more than 22 tons of pizza dough and flour has crashed in northern Arizona and spilled a large portion of its cargo.

Arizona Department of Public Safety says the semi rolled on its side about 4 a.m.

Thursday along a stretch of U.S. 89 near Page.

The truck was filled with 44,500 pounds of pizza dough

and flour, with each bag of dough weighing 50 pounds each.

DPS officials say the rig struck a guardrail and bounced left, rolling onto its side.

They say speed and fatigue may have contributed to the crash.

No one was injured but DPS says the driver was cited with failure to control the vehicle.

young children struggle to stay focused on the game.

Once he completes his American education, Antelmi plans to return to Australia to pursue teaching and coaching.

In coming to the U.S. from Australia, a few of the biggest cultural shocks for Antelmi have been snow, farmland and people driving on the right-hand side of the street.

“Last year was the first time I saw snow,” he said.

“It snowed bad. I mean, you couldn’t go outside, but I liked it. It was my first white Christmas.”

than four million people.

“Here (in Creston), it’s more community-based,” Antelmi said. “People actually want to get to know you and know how you’re doing.”

While he has kept busy with school and basketball, Antelmi said there are times he struggles with being away from home.

“The first month I was — Sergio Antelmi in America, I was really SWCC student excited,” he said. “Then from Sydney, Australia you go through a phase of two or three weeks where Spearfish and now Cres- it’s really hard. Then you ton have also been different start to ease into it again, for him because both are and you’re fine. I think the very small towns compared main thing is to make more to Sydney, which has more friends. It keeps your mind

distracted.”

Lorensen recognizes how difficult it can be for students who are far from home – either from out of state or another country – to adjust to a new setting with new people and no family nearby. As a coach, Lorensen said he treats his players fairly but not necessarily equally, meaning those who are further from home may need a little extra attention or just to know someone is there for them if they need anything. “(Adjusting) is different for everybody,” Lorensen said. “Sergio is an easygoing, laid-back guy, so it’s not hard to relate to him.”

University of Iowa withholds plans for Dubuque MBA program DUBUQUE (AP) — A plan for the University of Iowa to offer a Master of Business Administration program in Dubuque has been put on hold.

The Dubuque Telegraph Herald reports the University of Iowa planned to offer an MBA program in Dubuque that would be open to the entire corporate community at the request of John Deere Dubuque Works employees.

In an email to members of the Iowa Coordinating Council for Post-High School Education, the university said it plans to put the program on hold based on feedback from the Dubuque community.

Representatives with Clarke

University, Loras College and the University of Dubuque opposed the plan, saying their institutions already offer accredited MBA programs.

“Between the three of us, I think we’re all covering the market pretty well,” said Jeffrey Bullock, University of Dubuque president.

Loras President Jim Collins said he understands why John Deere employees in Iowa’s MCA program would want a site closer than the current locations in Cedar Rapids, Des Moines or the Quad Cities. But he said he is concerned that a request from a few employees at one business expanded a plan for the entire community.

“It seems to me it could get well beyond the scope of its original intent,” he said.

Ken Golden, director of global public relations for Deere & Co., said the company generally does not take a position on where universities or colleges should locate

their programs, but that it did not object to employees inquiring about the master’s programs.

University of Iowa officials contacted by the newspaper Wednesday said no one was available to comment for the story.

What’s in the bottle?

Dear Readers: An old saying is “Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink.” Hmm. Nondrinkable water can be seawater, a polluted lake or river and more.

We buy a lot of BOTTLED WATER today, but is there a difference?

Here are a few different types available and what they mean: * Purified water: This has all minerals and chemicals removed. * Distilled water: It has nothing in it — it’s made from steam, so minerals and bacteria are not present. * Spring water: Comes from an underwater pool. Nothing is added or removed. * Sparkling water: Has carbon dioxide added and is bubbly.

Try using sparkling or club-soda water to tea for a bubbly taste! I love it. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

This helps if some wrong-way driver meets you at the top of the hill.

Horoscope Saturday, Oct. 31, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is the perfect day to cocoon at home and attend to family matters. Putter around where you live because you will feel better if you get more in touch with what you own and where you nest.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Conversations with others will be down to earth and real today. Superficial, social chitchat about the weather will not interest you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s easy to emotionally identify with your possessions today, which is why you feel strongly attached to something. You certainly won’t want to lend anything to anyone.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, which gives you a strong need to talk to and belong to others. You will be emotionally sympathetic to others.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It will please you to withdraw somewhat and keep to yourself today. Basically, the busyness of everything around you is a bit overwhelming. You might explore mystical ideas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Contact between yourself and friends will be deeper than usual today. You will feel protective and supportive of others and expect the same in return.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Personal details about your private life are suddenly on display today. Like, what’s with that? Just be aware of this before you have an argument in an elevator.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Do something so that you get the feeling you are having an adventure or are breaking free from your routine. Physical journeys are the best, but you might travel mentally through books or film.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today, your emotions are intense! You might desire something that someone else has. You might even be jealous of it. (We all feel like this at times.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today, your attention will turn to your most personal relationships. Conflicts with others might be emotional.

Guard against knee-jerk reactions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You will have to put your emotional considerations second to the demands of your day, because today is more a day of service for your sign.

It’s a joy to labor for those you love.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a lovely, creative, playful day! Enjoy flirtations, conversations with friends, sports and playful activities with children. Grab every opportunity to express your creative impulses. Sing in the shower!

YOU BORN TODAY You are observant and meticulous about details. You also are a caring individual.

Nevertheless, you sometimes have to face obstacles or combatants. This is a testing year of growth and building. This growth will occur beneath the surface. Do not make major changes yet — wait until next year. Strengthen your financial position by reducing your overhead. (c) 2015 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

5 Things you didn’t know about living with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (BPT) — Many people don’t realize the impact moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can have on a person’s life. Find out from Gretchen what it’s like to live with the condition and things you should know.

1. There’s more to ra than the hands Moderate to severe RA isn’t characterized by just one symptom such as swelling of the joints, but a variety of symptoms that appear differently in each person.

“When I first started feeling symptoms, I was surprised because I thought RA was only in the hands,” said Gretchen. “I enjoy gardening. But, I wasn’t just struggling holding my gardening tools; I was struggling to even kneel down to pick a few vegetables. I’ve since learned RA is most common in the hands, but also affects other joints.” RA comes in many forms, ranging from mild to more severe and can affect the neck, elbows, hips, knees, and feet.

2. Age doesn’t matter Though it is more common in women, RA can affect adults at any age. “I didn’t see my doctor right away because I never sus-

“World War Z” ($202 million), “What Lies Beneath” ($155 million) and “Gremlins” ($148 million) are the all-time, top-grossing nail-biters in North America, scaring tens of millions of moviegoers. But nail-biting isn’t always so entertaining. In fact, it’s an affliction that may indicate you have a condition associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder that’s called body-focused repetitive behavior or pathological grooming.

Experts say nail-biting is a clue that you’re not handling stressful, frustrating, dissatisfying or boring situations effectively, and that you’re inclined to create short-term, self-soothing habits instead of discovering positive ways to make yourself feel better in the long run. (Researchers have found that people do report that nail-biting immediately feels soothing.)

In addition, the American Academy of Dermatology warns that repeated nail-biting can harm the nail bed and lead to abnormal-looking nails. It also can pass bacteria and viruses from your mouth to your fingers, and back again from your nails to your face and mouth.

So how can you stop?

Keep a journal that identifies triggers; you’ll begin to see when the urge strikes.

Knowing that will help you resist. When you can’t beat the urge, substitute squeezing a stress ball for nibbling.

Keep nails short, and consider using a bitter-tasting nail polish to make it unpleasant to put your fingernail in your mouth. Then think about adopting longterm stress-busters, like mindful meditation or yoga.

pected it could be RA. I was only 27, and I thought RA affected elderly women, not people like me. Turns out I was wrong. I encourage anyone who thinks they have symptoms to see a rheumatologist right away.”

3. Stiffness is often the worst in the morning Joint stiffness associated with moderate to severe RA is often at its worst first thing in the morning. It can last for a few hours or the entire day. “I work a fulltime job and also care for

my three kids, so I thought my stiffness was just due to long days on my feet.

But when it was happening every morning, I knew it was time to see my doctor,” said Gretchen. Joint stiffness for a long time in the morning can be a clue that you may have RA, since few other arthritic diseases present the same way.

4. Low-impact exercise can help When you’re in pain, the last thing you want to do is move around. But, move-

ment is actually one of the best ways to manage your pain from moderate to severe RA. Low-impact aerobic exercises and exercises that boost muscle strength are best not only for reducing pressure on joints, but also overall health. “I love to go on walks because it’s a great workout without putting a lot of stress on my joints,” said Gretchen.

“Walking is something I can enjoy with my husband and sons that helps me relax. I also try to stretch; it keeps

Say ‘no’ to nail-biting Weekly health tips Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. and Dr. Michael Roizen, M.D.

And if you still can’t beat it, cognitive behavioral therapy or holistic psychotherapy may be smart steps.

SLEEP APNEA AND DEPRESSION A low-pressure cell walks into an isobar in the Bahamas. The result: A tropical depression. Know what else causes depression? Obstructive sleep apnea, characterized by interrupted or halted breathing that triggers gasping and snorting.

A new study found that in more than 7 out of 10 cases, the person also has to deal with symptoms of depression, such as hopelessness, feelings of failure, even thoughts of suicide -- something researchers didn’t expect to find.

There is great news, however. One of the most effective treatments for OSA is a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). An oxygen mask goes over your nose and mouth, and air is pumped into your lungs while you sleep. (Other effective remedies include losing weight and not smoking or drinking.) CPAP not only eases apnea, the study found that after three months of use, only around 4 percent of patients had “clinically significant depressive symptoms.”

But CPAP is hard to stick with; five years after diagnosis, around 46 percent of people are not using their device. That puts them at risk not only for depression, but also for heart disease, high blood pressure and

Type 2 diabetes. Fortunately, for mild to moderate OSA there have been improvements in oral appliances; they can be adjusted to open the jaw so your airway stays clear while you sleep, reducing OSA. Check with your doc, and get a referral to a sleep specialist, who can determine if one or more of the newer devices is worth trying. It could change your outlook on life.

UNAPPROVED PRESCRIPTION DRUGS SOLD AS SUPPLEMENTS When major-league baseball suspended Alex Rodriguez for using performance-enhancing steroids, they also cleaned up clubhouses across the country.

Too bad the Food and Drug Administration hasn’t done the same for some general nutrition and major vitamin stores by clearing dangerous body-building and weightloss supplements off their shelves!

Vinpocetine and picamilon are drugs prescribed in several countries to treat cerebrovascular disorders and cognitive impairment, but in the U.S. they’ve never presented adequate data to be approved for prescription-drug sales. Instead, drug manufacturers market them as botanical supplements (which don’t need FDA approval) to promote weight loss and as brain and performance enhancers.

Researchers, including Harvard’s Pieter Cohen, M.D., who’s appeared on

“The Dr. Oz Show,” have discovered vinpocetine in around 300 nonprescription products and picamilon in 31 supplements, all available for sale directly to consumers.

Writing in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, Dr. Cohen explains that, “The FDA may have assumed that vinpocetine was a botanical extract, but it is not... to my knowledge, vinpocetine itself has never been identified in lesser periwinkle or any other plant.” And to make matters worse, in the various supplements the researchers tested, doses of both drugs were all over the place -- from nonexistent to far too much -- and rarely reflected what the label said was provided. So we suggest that you avoid these two ingredients, and if you want to lose weight, think more clearly or have more athletic zip, upgrade your diet by ditching the Five Food Felons and get seven to eight hours of sleep nightly.

WHAT’S STOPPING YOU FROM GETTING YOUR KIDS (AND YOURSELF) VACCINATED? The 1985 movie “Clue” came with three different endings -- all plausible solutions to its murder mystery, yet each theater offered moviegoers only one of them. (The DVD included all three, noting on screen, “This is how it COULD have happened.”) That’s a lot different from real life, in which you rarely get to know the various reasons something mysterious happens. But recently researchers in America and Germany decided to figure out the different reasons people have to postpone or refuse

my joints flexible.” Patients should follow up with their healthcare providers to understand what may work best for them.

5. Appropriate treatment is key “For my patients, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important for managing their moderate to severe RA.” said Alan Epstein, M.D., Pennsylvania Rheumatology Associates, PC. “There are a number of available treatment options, including a biologic therapy called ORENCIA, which are approved to help relieve symptoms and slow the progression of further joint damage in moderate to severe RA. If you experience RA symptoms like pain, stiffness, and swelling in your joints, I encourage you to work with your doctor right away to identify the most appropriate therapy for you.”

ORENCIA® (abatacept) is a prescription medicine that reduces signs and symptoms in adults with moderate to severe RA, including those who have not been helped enough by other medicines for RA. ORENCIA may prevent

further damage to your bones and joints and may help your ability to perform daily activities. In adults, ORENCIA may be used alone or with other RA treatments other than tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists. ORENCIA can cause serious side effects including serious infections.

ORENCIA can make you more likely to get infections or make the infection that you have get worse. Some patients have died from these infections. Call your healthcare provider immediately if you feel sick or get any of the following signs of infection: fever; feel very tired; cough; feel flu-like; or warm, red or painful skin.

Please read about additional Important Safety Information There is more to rheumatoid arthritis besides stiff joints, and no one treatment works for everyone with moderate to severe RA. If you feel you experience any symptoms that are associated with RA, speak to a rheumatologist right away regarding appropriate treatment options.

vaccinations.

Turns out that most of you who are shot-shy aren’t so much anti-vaccine as you are just, well, complacent (no one around you EVER got diphtheria, so why get a vaccine?). You say it’s inconvenient to get the shot (you’re pressed for time; you don’t have a primary-care physician); or you don’t have confidence that vaccines really work (you haven’t lived in a time when the diseases they prevent were a scourge). But your procrastination has a price: To protect everyone, it takes at least 96 percent vaccination compliance to prevent a measles outbreak, for example, and 97 percent to block a mumps outbreak.

So, if you’ve put off getting your kids or yourself vaccinated because it doesn’t seem very important, think again. And here’s our clue for a happy ending: In most states, most major chain drug stores, like Walgreens, and Affordable Care Act insurers provide low-cost and/or free vaccines. Ask your local pharmacist for information, call your state’s department of health or go online and Google “[Your state] free vaccines.”

TO DIAL IN ROMANCE, TURN OFF THE PHONE Major League Baseball’s rules of player conduct state that there will be no use of mobile phones, laptops or texting in the clubhouse within an hour of game time nor on the bench or field at any time. But, says Boston sports writer Adam Jones, that didn’t keep Red Sox second baseman Pablo Sandoval from running back into the clubhouse to use his phone to access Insta-

gram during a 5-2 loss to the Braves last June.

That kind of disregard for what you should be focusing on is rampant these days, and it even has a name: phubbing, short for “phone snubbing.” In fact, recent research, published in the journal Computers in Human Behavior, found that almost 50 percent of folks have been phubbed by their partner, and it’s damaging their love life and bumming them out.

What are signs you’re being phubbed? Your honey positions his or her cellphone so it can be seen when you’re together; your partner glances at the phone while taking to you; and whenever there’s a lull in conversation, your partner checks the phone.

More important, what’s the solution? Mention your concern (or text it, if necessary!) and negotiate a stepby-step change in behavior: Start by asking that the phone be kept face down on tabletops. After a week, ask for it to remain in a pocket or purse. Want to be really daring? Ask that it be turned off or left at home.

Remember, the human race got along OK for many thousands of years before there were cellphones. *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald promotes another type of Halloween treat DES MOINES — You don’t have to dress up this Halloween to find goodies.

State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald wants you to know there are plenty of treats in the form of unclaimed property in the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt.

“There are no tricks, only treats,” Fitzgerald said.

“Finding and receiving unclaimed property is an easy process. The thought of losing track of one’s assets is what is truly fright-

ening. Anybody can have unclaimed property in the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt, which is why we encourage everyone to search for their name. We are holding property for a lot of royalty, from kings to queens, and even one for the Princess Theatre in Mapleton.”

The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt also has unclaimed assets for Charlie Brown, a few Batmans, many Sparrows but no Jack, two Monsters, several Sherlocks and

The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt has returned over $199 million in unclaimed property to more than 468,000 people since 1983. n

a few Angels.

The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt program has returned over $199 million in unclaimed property to more than 468,000 people since Fitzgerald created it in 1983.

Unclaimed property refers to money and other assets held by financial institutions

or companies that have lost contact with the property’s owner for a specific period of time. State law requires these institutions and companies to annually report unclaimed property to the state treasurer’s office. The assets are then held until the owner or heir of the proper-

ty is found. Common forms of unclaimed property include savings or checking accounts, stocks, uncashed checks, life insurance policies, utility security deposits and safe deposit box contents.

Visit the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt at GreatIowaTreasureHunt.gov to begin your search. Like Great Iowa Treasure Hunt on Facebook and follow the program on Twitter (@ GreatIATreasure).

Red Ribbon Week at Creston High School

CNA photos by IAN RICHARDSON

#DrugFreePanthers: Left, Creston junior Kyle Somers snaps a selfie (pictured above) next to the door of English teacher Peg Eblen’s classroom this morning. Students decorated the doors Thursday during seminar and, today, took selfies in front of them using the hashtag #DrugFreePanthers. These activities were part of Creston Community Schools’ observance of Red Ribbon Week, a week meant to raise awareness of the harmful effects of drugs in the United States. Left, High School special education teacher Palmer Scott, right, stands with students Austin Murry, middle, and Ryan Peters, left, next to the door they decorated using a Minion theme for Creston’s Red Ribbon Week activities.

Check smoke alarms this weekend when turning clocks back DES MOINES — It’s time to turn the clocks back and enjoy the extra hour lost in the spring. The end of Daylight Saving Time is also a great time to make sure your household is prepared for emergencies.

“People should add checking their smoke alarms to the ritual of turning the clocks back,” said Leslie Schaffer, regional executive director of the American Red Cross Iowa Region. “It’s a good time to change the batteries and push the test button to make sure the smoke alarm works. It’s also a good time for people to hold a fire drill so everyone in the family knows how to get out of every room and how to get out of the home in less than two minutes.”

Last fall, the Red Cross launched the Home Fire Preparedness Campaign to reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by home fires by 25 percent over the next five years. The campaign is happening all over the country and involves Red

Cross workers joining with local fire departments and community groups to visit neighborhoods at high risk for fires. Those visits include educating people about fire safety through door-to-door visits and installation of smoke alarms in some of these neighborhoods.

When everyone turns the clocks back, it’s also a good time to make sure their emergency preparedness supplies are ready for the fall and winter. An emergency preparedness kit should include, at the minimum: • Three-day supply of non-perishable food items and water (one gallon per person per day) • Flashlight • Battery-powered or crank radio • Can opener • First aid kit • Copies of important documents • Special items such as medications, diapers and infant formula If someone already has an emergency preparedness kit, they should check

If there have been changes in prescriptions or dietary needs, add new foods and medications as needed.

Update the emergency contact information in the family communications plan. Choose an out-ofarea emergency contact that each person in the household can call if they become separated during a disaster situation. Taking simple actions like these can help people be better prepared for emergencies.

Creston/O-M Middle School football teams end seasons with losses to Atlantic

SPORTS, page 2S

THE NUMBERS GAME

3

The Patriots are the 3rd team in NFL history to start the season 7-0 while averaging 35+ points per game.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Triple OT TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Oregon came from behind to defeat Arizona State in triple overtime, 61-55.

At the end of the first half, Oregon led 17-14.

Pats roll FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady slammed the ball after taking a sack, got up and threw a touchdown pass on the next play to finish off another stellar performance.

Even when they look sluggish, Brady and the New England Patriots still dominate.

Brady threw for 356 yards and four touchdowns - two to Julian Edelman - and the Patriots beat the Miami Dolphins 36-7 on Thursday night to become the first of the NFL’s five unbeaten teams to reach seven wins.

Stephen Gostkowski broke Adam Vinatieri’s franchise record for consecutive field goals by connecting from 52 and 36 yards to make it 26 in a row. Rob Gronkowski had 113 yards receiving and a touchdown, and Dion Lewis had 93 yards receiving and one score.

Exhibition IOWA CITY — Mike Gesell scored 24 points to lead the Iowa men’s basketball team to a 9973 exhibition victory over Sioux Falls on Thursday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

The score was tied 40-40 with 37 seconds in the first half, but the Hawkeyes closed the half on a 6-0 run and scored nine of the first 11 points after halftime.

Gesell made a 3-pointer on Iowa’s first possession of the second half, and a three-point play from Adam Woodbury pushed the lead to 55-42.

Offense record FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Trevone Boykin leaped over defenders and threw from the hip for touchdowns. The TCU quarterback even slapped hands with West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen after going out of bounds on one of his nifty scrambles.

“It’s probably the most respect that you can give someone in that time and moment,” Boykin said after the fifth-ranked Horned Frogs won 4010 on Thursday night for their 16th consecutive victory.

In their last game before the first weekly College Football Playoff rankings this season, TCU (8-0, 5-0 Big 12) made quite an impression. As did Boykin (472 total yards, four touchdowns) and Josh Doctson (11 catches, 183 yards and two touchdowns) on Heisman Trophy voters tuning into the midweek game.

Norwalk sweeps Panthers to reach finals Seven seniors leave 15-11 Creston squad

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@ crestonnews.com

NORWALK — Creston began and ended its volleyball season against Norwalk, but the first encounter was more competitive than Thursday’s Class 4A regional semifinal.

The Panthers scored only 37 points against the 15th-ranked Warriors in falling 25-12, 25-12, 25-13. In the opener on Sept. 1 Creston scored 60 points in getting edged 25-23, 25-21, 25-16.

Norwalk coach Brad Bixby said his team, now 26-10, was on a mission Thursday. They meet No. 6 Lewis Central at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Atlantic for a state tournament berth.

“It was very close the first time, yes,” Bixby said. “I would say we have juniors and seniors who didn’t want this to be their last match. It’s a pretty focused group of girls.”

The Warriors can send an array of hitters at opponents, with four players standing between 5-10 and 6-1, along with 5-9 senior Morgan Taylor who provided 10 kills and 12 digs Thursday.

Tori VanVelzen, a 6-1 senior, peppered the Panther defense with 13 kills. Gabriella Ridgeway and Ashlie VanGorder each hit five kills.

Creston’s leader was senior Sydney Dunphy with 10 kills. Another senior, Jenna Taylor, finished with six.

Creston was not in a good rhythm much of the night in terms of passing into an effective attack, which left the Panthers in a defensive mode much of night.

“Against a team like that, you have to quicken stuff up,” said Creston coach Polly Luther. “A lot of times our passes weren’t good enough to do that tonight. On defense, it was like we were stuck to the floor at times.

We say you always have to be moving your feet to react quickly. It was almost like we were overthinking everything.”

Creston led 4-3 early in the first set, but Norwalk quickly zoomed in front 16-6 on the way to the first of two 2512 wins. The Warriors built on early leads of 9-4 and 9-3 in the next two sets, never seriously challenged.

“Norwalk is so scrappy,” Luther said, saying the match with Lewis Central should be tight and competitive. “They do so many different things. They were running their outsides a lot tonight. Their setter is tremendous. She sees holes, just a very smart player.”

This Creston senior class is the second of two straight classes that have made significant strides in the program, including a 20-8 record last year and 15-11 this season. Seniors in uniform for the final time Thursday were Alli Thomsen, Gracie Russell, Jami Sickels, Alyssa Higgins, Angie Sorensen, Dunphy and Taylor. Sorensen, hobbled with a sprained ankle, saw limited duty Thursday at middle blocker.

Panthers ready for challenge against physical Pella

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

PELLA — Unranked Creston/O-M faces a tall task here Monday, when the Panthers take on top-ranked and undefeated defending Class 3A state champion Pella (10-0).

But the Panthers faced a tall task on Wednesday, as well. Creston/O-M avenged a previous 59-21 loss to Harlan, when the Panther knocked off the fifth-ranked Cyclones in Wednesday’s first round of the playoffs, 34-11.

Creston/O-M and Pella have two common opponents in Dallas Center-Grimes and Norwalk.

The Panthers lost to both teams, losing 26-7 to Norwalk and 31-20 to Dallas Center-Grimes. Pella won 21-0 over Norwalk and 37-7 over DC-G. Two teams that made it to the UNI-Dome last year

will square off in Monday’s second round. Playoff tickets are available at Creston High School and are $6 for adults and students.

“We feel good. Our kids

are playing confident right now,” Creston/O-M head coach Brian Morrison said.

“I think the last three weeks have been really good at practice and it’s showing on

Friday nights and definitely in the playoff game. The kids understand what situation they’re in. They understand it’s the playoffs.”

Monday’s game is win

or go home. But Morrison said he believes the nature of the competitive District 8 schedule has his team prepared for the big-time playoff atmosphere that will come with Monday’s game.

“I think the kids treat the regular season that every game is a playoff game,” he said. “Otherwise you might not have a shot to get in (the playoffs). I think the kids understand it could be their last game. I think they showed it last night. They played with great effort.”

The 6-4 Panthers will need to match that effort come Monday, when they take on a physical and athletic Pella team led by one of the state’s best players in 5-11, 200-pound senior quarterback Noah Clayberg.

Clayberg is a dual threat, having completed 69.5 percent of his passes for 1,123 yards and 15 touchdowns Please see CHALLENGE, page 3S

Tigers host East Mills in district rematch Raiders look to ground Tigerhawks

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

LENOX — The Eight-Man fifthranked Lenox Tigers hope to repeat the success they had on Oct. 2 when they host District 8 foe East Mills (8-2) here on Monday in the second round of the playoffs.

Lenox pulled away in the second half for a 38-12 win over East Mills in that game on its way to an undefeated regular season.

The Tigers opened the playoffs with a 60-26 win over Twin Cedars on Wednesday.

One of the biggest keys in Lenox’s Oct. 2 win over East Mills was holding star running back Josh Hopkins under 100 yards rushing. The Tigers were one of only two teams — Stanton being the other — to accomplish that feat this year.

“We know that Hopkins is probably the best player on their team. We know he does everything for them.

We know we can’t let him get out and beat us,” Lenox head coach Allen Dukes said.

“So the kids really concentrated on knowing what set they’re going to be

in and what play could come off it.

The only thing I can think of is the kids were not going to let him beat us.”

Hopkins managed just 76 yards on 21 carries in the loss. For the season, he has 1,619 yards and 34 touchdowns on 201 carries for the Wolverines. He averages 8.1 yards per carry.

But Lenox knows that East Mills has other weapons that can do damage, as well.

Quarterback Ben Christensen has completed 53.6 percent of his passes for 876 yards and 13 touchdowns with five interceptions. Miguel Sanchez leads the team with 346 receiving yards and six TDs on 13 catches. Luke Stortenbecker has 12 catches for 159 yards and two touchdowns.

“Sanchez, we have to keep him under wraps, because he can make big plays for them,” Dukes said. “Putting pressure on Christensen to make him throw the ball sooner than he wants (is key). Last time we played them, we picked him three times. That’s a big positive. The kids know we can do that. Stortenbecker runs the ball hard.

MOUNT AYR — For the second year in a row, Mount Ayr hosts former district opponent Colfax-Mingo in the Class A playoffs.

The 8-2 Raiders will have to slow down Colfax-Mingo’s pass-happy attack here 7 p.m. Monday in order to advance to the Class A quarterfinals.

Colfax-Mingo also owns an 8-2 record with losses of 16-7 to Pleasantville in the season opener and 35-0 to second-ranked BGM in district play.

The Tigerhawks are led by 6-2, 200-pound senior quarterback Jared Myers, who ranks fifth in the state for all classes in passing at 161 of 276 for 2,533 yards and 33 touchdowns with just nine interceptions.

“Just our preliminary look at them on film is they are very similar to what they were a year ago,” Mount Ayr co-coach Delwyn Showalter said. “They had a lot of young guys a year ago, so it’s basically the

same kids we played against. A year older. They really do a nice job with their system. They spread the field and throw the ball and do it extremely well.”

Myers finished 12-of-25 passing for 216 yards and four touchdowns in Wednesday’s 29-6 win over Earlham. The Tigerhawks ran the ball only 12 times in the win.

One of the keys for the Raiders will be finding a way to put pressure on Myers and make him uncomfortable in the pocket.

“He’s really good at making decisions. He doesn’t throw the ball up for grabs very much. He gets it to his receivers in good spots,” Showalter said. “He seems to have a feel for when he’s getting pressure on him.

We can’t let him get comfortable.

Our guys up front and then our guys in the secondary and linebackers have to cover receivers so he can’t find somebody to dump it off to.”

Myers has three main targets he spreads the ball around to, led by Please see RAIDERS, page 3S

Middle school football 7th grade ATLANTIC — An undefeated Atlantic team handed the Creston/O-M seventh-graders their first defeat on Oct. 20, 36-0.

“It was a tough day for the boys and us as coaches,” said Creston/O-M assistant coach Jerry Hartman. “The boys have prepared well and played hard all season. They just came out flat and each time we managed to get a little momentum, penalties took that momentum away.

I told the boys it is only a loss if they don’t take it to heart and learn from it. I’m very proud to have coached this fine group of young men.

Head coach Dick Clark agreed that it wasn’t his team’s best day of a 5-1 season.

“We came off the bus flatter than a pancake, and subsequently got pancaked,” Clark said. “After the previous week’s blowout of Glenwood we came in with a sense of security and there’s nothing secure in the Hawkeye 10. It was an unfortunate end to a fine year and we’ll learn from it and

get ‘em next year at home.”

The Panthers finished with -21 yards rushing, led

by Garon Wurster’s 14. The Panther offense was 0-of-11 passing. Brance Baker had nine tackles for the defense, including two for losses.

Jackson Kinsella and Baker had sacks.

In the B game, Creston/O-M used a solid rushing attack to gain a 6-0 victory. Kaden Bolton scored the only touchdown of the game on a 6-yard run. The Panther defense was tough up the middle with Matthew Parks, Wiley Ray, Hunter Patterson all playing well.

Connor Travis finished with eight tackles, including two for losses and a fumble recovery on a kickoff.

Brayden Fitzgerald’s pass interception and 7-yard return secured the win.

“Those boys stepped it up today,” Hartman said.

“They went out and played hard and did what they needed to do.”

with only two interceptions.

He adds 1,056 yards and 20 touchdowns on the ground on 97 carries, averaging 10.9 yards per carry.

Morrison likened Clayberg to Dallas Center-Grimes quarterback Austin Kloewer.

“He does a lot of good things. He’s a kid who can break contain. They run isos with him up the middle,” Morrison said. “He’s a downhill runner.

He breaks tackles.

We have to make sure we get a hat on him and get Morrison him to the ground.

Yards after contact could hurt us.”

Clayberg was a Super State player a year ago as a junior and has been a starter for the Dutch for several years. Nathan Henry, a 5-9, 195-pound senior running back, provides the Dutch with another physical runner.

Henry has run for 690 yards and nine touchdowns

on 101 carries. No one else on Pella’s team has carried the ball more than 40 times.

“Their running back, he was good for them last year,” Morrison said. “Saw them in the championship game. He’s a physical runner, but he’s fast. He’s just a really good back for them.”

Clayberg and Henry run behind a big, physical offensive line that has punished other teams this year.

“They’re big, they’re physical, but they’re athletic,” Morrison said. “They move well. Size wise, I think we’re a bigger team up front, but they move real well. It’ll be our best front we’ve seen all year.”

In the passing game, Pella features three main targets in Will Warner (29 catches, 488 yards, 10 TDs), Donovan Holterhaus (18 catches, 372 yards, four TDs) and Payson Vane Lune (16 catches, 298 yards, five TDs).

Morrison said Pella has also brought backup quarterback Nick Finney into the game at times to throw the ball. Finney is 22 of 38 passing for 440 yards and eight TDs with no touchdowns.

Run game

Despite coming in as the top-ranked team, Pella will have to find a way to do something no one else has been able to do this year — slow down the Panther rushing attack led by junior Chase Shiltz.

Shiltz leads the state, all classes, in rushing with 2,234 yards and 33 touchdowns on 292 carries.

In his last three games along, the Panthers’ all-time career rushing leader has run for 1,000 yards on Shiltz 125 carries for an average of 8.0 yards per carry.

Creston/O-M’s tank formation has paved the way for Shiltz on many of those carries, creating matchup problems for opposing teams with seven offensive linemen in the game at one time blocking for Shiltz.

And with Shiltz playing only on offense now, he’s been fresher later in games.

The return of injured players to the Panther lineup

RAIDERS:

over the past several weeks has given Morrison added flexibility and allowed him to have Shiltz on offense only.

“Having Chase play one way for us is definitely keeping him fresh. Our offensive line is doing an outstanding job. They’re getting better every week. For a young group, that’s what you want to see. Against good teams, too,” Morrison said.

“Just looking at our depth on offense and defense, we do have a lot of guys playing one way. Our kids are fresh and Harlan has a lot of kids that play one way. I think, just like against DC-G, we wore a team out that platoons. I think our conditioning is really good right now.

Getting those kids back is a part of that.”

Pella will use a complex defense against the Panthers, bringing a lot of blitz packages and using oddman fronts.

“They’ll probably be as skilled as we’ve seen in the secondary and linebackers and even up front,” Morrison said. “They’re aggressive and a really athletic football team.”

Monday, Morrison said his team needs to continue to execute on special teams and must be able to limit Pella’s big plays.

Offensively, the Panthers need to do what they do best.

“On offense, we just have to do what we do,” he said.

“We have to put ourselves in down and distance situations where we can convert on third down and continue drives.”

They’ve got some defensive linemen in different places,” Dukes said. “I think they’re getting more pressure on the opposing quarterback and, of course, Hopkins at middle linebacker, you have to make sure you get a hat on him.

Dukes said the Tigers will need to establish their run game better than they did in the first meeting, when Lenox was held to 105 yards on the ground. Carson Cline passed

for 239 yards.

But Dukes wants to see those numbers more balanced.

“We have to get that more balanced out like it was last night (Wednesday0,” Dukes said. “We had over 200 rushing between Carson (Cline) and Sam (Donaldson) and another 214 with Carson throwing the ball. That’s what we’ve got to do again Monday night.”

Jake Lietz’s 56 catches for 767 yards and nine touchdowns.

Blake Summy is the yardage leader with 803 yards (20.6 per catch) and 11 TDs on 39 catches. Colin Lourens adds 642 yards and five TDs on 37 catches.

“Those guys are going to be out there at the same time and they’re going to be out there as much as possible,” Showalter said. “They’re equally good. They’re different kinds of receivers. You can’t just focus on one of htem, because the other two are much too good for that. We have to be pretty honest with our cover-

age.”

Myers is the leading rusher at 485 yards and seven touchdowns on 123 carries. Jake Buehrer is the second-leading rusher with only half as many carries as Myers, running for 171 yards and four scores on 51 carries.

Defensively, Lietz leads the team with 107 total tackles including 10 solo tackles for loss.

Alan Wheeler and Lourens each have 14 solo tackles for loss.

“We have to keep our heads up and see where people are coming from,” Showalter said. “They do a pretty good job of moving people around.

They keep you guessing how

they’re going to attack you.

I think being physical, that’s something we feel we do a pretty good job of. We need to use our strengths. We hope to push them around and wear on them a little bit.”

Mount Ayr’s balanced rushing attack was in full force in Wednesday’s 37-12 win over Bedford.

Nick Wurster had 123 yards on nine carries, with Cal Daughton adding 119 yards on 12 carries and Kyle Dolecheck contributing 90 yards on nine carries.

A win on Monday would put the Raiders just one win away from their second straight trip to the UNI-Dome.

They have other weapons, but we still have to concentrate on Hopkins.”

On the other side of the ball, Hopkins always finds himself around the ball with 73 total tackles, including 16 total tackles for loss. Josh Drake adds 51 total tackles and seven solo sacks.

“We noticed on film today they moved some kids around.
