Elm Street Corridor Child project wins Housing reported Iowa Innovation Award dead after skid-loader accident The project, fronted by Wayne Pantini of UCDA, has been a partnership among UCDA, SWCC, SICOG and the city of Creston.

■

AFTON — Calab Allen Brammer Jr., 23 months, was reported dead after an accident with a skid loader Tuesday evening.

According to a Union County Sheriff report, Union County sheriff’s deputies and other emergency responders were called 6:09 p.m. Tuesday to 2683 205th St. in Afton for an accident involving a skid loader. Calab Brammer of Lorimor reported the accident in which his son, Calab Jr., was

For the first time, Union County Development Association (UCDA) has received the Housing Iowa Innovation Award from Iowa Finance Authority.

UCDA was selected for Creston’s Elm Street Corridor project due to the collaboration of local organizations it involved.

The purpose of this housing project is to replace dilapidated homes with new homes that are affordable for low- to moderate-income individuals. The project is also a means of increasing the tax base, developing skills in students in construction trades and enhancing the image of Creston.

L a s t month, Wayne Pantini, U C D A executive director, accepted the award Pantini f r o m Iowa Finance Authority during the organization’s Housing Iowa Conference awards

on the lap of the driver and ended up on the ground. It is unknown if the child fell or jumped off.

Life-saving measures were taken before Calab Jr. was pronounced dead at the scene.

Afton first responders, Union County sheriff’s deputies and Greater Regional Medical Center emergency medical personnel responded to the incident. An air ambulance was called to the scene but was not needed.

breakfast.

“We were excited to get some recognition for the work we’ve done there the last several years,” Pantini said. “A lot of partners have come together to work on it.”

The project has included homes built, in part, by Southwestern Community College carpentry students. The four single-family UCDA homes were built by SWCC students, and then private developer Don Sonntag of Sonntag Development LLC has built two duplex units in that area.

This year, SWCC carpentry students are working with Sonntag to build

one of the units on South Maple Street.

“Each entity involved – UCDA, Southern Iowa Council of Governments, Southwestern Community College, the city of Creston – all had a different piece of the puzzle that they could fulfill in trying to improve the housing in the area, the image and provide affordable housing,” Pantini said. “The progress that we had there eventually led to working with Sonntag to come in and build the duplex units.”

SICOG helped with funding of the Elm Street project through its Housing Trust Fund.

“We provided funds to demo some of the properties and then to get the lots prepared for new construction,” said Judy Brimm, SICOG finance director. “It was very exciting to know that that many entities can come together and partner on a successful project and then that it was recognized by the state.”

On the construction end of the Elm Street project, SWCC students have been taught and overseen by Dennis Downing, SWCC carpentry and building trades instructor.

“There were a lot of people involved in the project,” Downing said. “It’s AWARD | 2A

I’m an instructor so I taught, the students did the physical work, Wayne did the financing and ... he was the reason our project got nominated through UCDA.

seriously and served Creston well.

Randy’s gone now, but he is still helping Creston, and I think that’s pret- Kawa ty cool.�

During the meeting, Kawa informed the council of the ways the money left by White for the park and rec department is being used. “Randy and Paula, they thought a lot of the park.

They attended a lot of our fundraisers, and they also thought a lot of our (McKinley Park) restoration project,� Kawa said. “The park received approximately $4,400 from Randy’s memorial, which is a lot of money. Visiting with Paula, we came up with a couple projects that she felt were what Randy and her would like to see done.�

The first project involves shelter house No. 5 at McKinley Park, which is located on the east side of the lake closest to the swimming pool. “It needed a roof badly, and that has been completed by Creston Roofing and Siding,� Kawa said. “It’s

one of the bigger (shelters) that gets a lot of use. I believe that is the last roof on all of them that needed done, so it was a good step. ... We appreciate that one.�

The second project was working on the “mega shelter,� which is located by the former tennis court at McKinley Park. “It is the biggest one we’ve got,� Kawa said. “It has no lights underneath and no plug-ins, so in order to make it more efficient – and it gets used a lot – we decided we would, with the help of Mike Bruce and our department, put plug-ins in it and light it up underneath the roof so it’s more usable.

Every run we (have), people either want to end up there or start out there, so it’ll be a great addition to the park to get that done. ... So, those are two nice things that came of Randy’s memorial money.�

White, who died at age 57, was an East Union High School graduate. He served in the U.S. Army from 1977 to 1988 and married Paula Clem in 2003. He worked for Fansteel Wellman Dynamics in Creston for 35 years and then for Heat Tech in Afton.

White served on Creston City Council for 10 years – all of those years alongside Marsha Wilson, ward 4 councilwoman. “Randy was one of the

most respected, caring people,�

Wilson said. “He was very dedicated, concerned, caring and very Wilson knowledgeable about all of our projects. There was no other person like Randy.�

Wilson said she “wasn’t surprised at all� when she learned White had left money to be used for Creston projects. “That’s just Randy,� she said. “He was very active in his church with money projects. He wanted the betterment of Creston; that was one of the things he always looked out for – what was best for Creston.�

Taylor Park Also during Tuesday’s meeting, Gary Borcherding, member of the Creston Park and Rec Board, brought up a need for extra support from the community so the board can obtain a $10,000 Wellmark Foundation grant for a new playground at Taylor Park in Creston. “We’re repairing the train and we’d like to add a playground for the young kids,�

Borcherding said. “The first phase of it was accepted. Right now, we’re in the voting stage – community support. You can show your

support, and all you’ve got to do is go to the McKinley Park Restoration Facebook page. There’s a link there to the Wellmark Foundation grant, you can go into that, ‘like’ the project ... and after you ‘like’ it, there’s a place where you can share it with friends, family.�

The public can vote once every 24 hours through Friday. “We would appreciate any late support we can get for that,� Borcherding said.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, October 5, 2016

Kardashian a fitting presidential candidate HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Kim Kardashian was robbed of her jewelry in a Paris hotel room by robbers dressed as cops on Sunday. Kim is a reality TV star who runs a successful business empire. That means if Donald Trump is unable to fulfill his duties as president of the United States, she takes over as first runner-up.

Kanye West canceled his Paris concert when he heard Kim had been robbed back in the hotel room. It was the lead story on all three network newscasts. The public is turning its attention back to the Kardashian family because the presidential election was just too over-the-top and absurd.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine and Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence debated at a college in Virginia Tuesday night. Both

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

men were intelligent, mature, responsible, well-mannered and articulate. In other words, nobody would pay a nickel to see them.

Republican Indiana Governor Mike Pence debated Democratic Virginia Senator Tim Kaine in the vice presidential debate in Virginia. Appearances aren’t always deceiving. Mike Pence is an outspoken opponent of samesex marriages and gay holidays, so his hair and make-up was a little off.

Tim Kaine and Mike Pence spent 90 minutes during Tuesday’s debate talking over each other about problems and talking past each other over solutions.

The country needs both parties.

Democrats are here to remind us

that life is unfair while Republicans are here to make sure that it is.

Donald Trump found himself tied with Hillary Clinton Tuesday in the Real Clear averages of nationwide polls. He has reason to believe that he’s improving.

According to one poll, Donald Trump’s support among Hispanics is at 0 percent, but that’s up 10 percent from the month before.

Mexico’s literary magazine Los Letras Libres put Donald Trump’s photo on the cover over the title Los Fascist Americano and drew a Hitler mustache on him. The doctored photo backfired badly. The entire general staff of Mexico’s Army had to be confined to their quarters with coup fever.

Coors was targeted by an Internet hoax Tuesday that Coors Light has cocaine in the beer.

The evidence is anecdotal. Last night in Los Angeles, three cans

of Coors Light were still up at four in the morning, sitting around a coffee table and vowing to start a new business together the next day.

GOP Senator Kelly Ayotte handed out free condoms to college students at her rallies Tuesday in New Hampshire. She was raised in the 50s, when guys went to the drug store counter and shouted for a pack of cigarettes and whispered for a pack of condoms. Now it’s the other way around.

The National Weather Service forecast on Tuesday that Hurricane Matthew was set to roar up the East Coast at Category Four strength. The administration did a superb job of preparing for the storm. Thanks to the president’s economic policy, most of the businesses were already boarded up.

Arnold Schwarzenegger posted pictures of himself at Ok-

toberfest in Munich with his 18-year-old son Joseph Baena, whom Arnold had with his housekeeper. The son has great bloodlines. He’s half-Mexican and half-German, so there’s not a border in the world that can stop this kid.

L.A. Police went on tactical riot alert Sunday after LAPD officers shot and killed a black guy in South Central who waved a gun at cops. Los Angeles riots draw so many viewers that the city may start selling naming rights to them. Next week’s riot in South Central L.A. is sponsored by White Out. The London Times interviewed 92-year-old Elizabeth Kalhammer who once was Adolf Hitler’s maid. She’s still upset about his death. Elizabeth was in the Berlin bunker in 1945 when Hitler committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of his throat and she’d just cleaned the walls.

2016

Here’s what I’m wondering: Was it Alicia Machado’s really mild sex video that caused Donald Trump to wake up with a start about 3:00 the other morning?

What was he thinking about as he fired off that “unhinged” tweet about her recorded activities under the sheets? And, yes, conscientious journalist that I am, I forced myself to see the tape of her romp.

Talk about boring – unless you are amused by how unexciting it really was. But apparently Donny found it far more interesting. Something got him going, whatever he was thinking, or maybe fantasizing, as he grabbed his device and pecked out: “Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?”

Actually, he didn’t send that one till 5:30 a.m. He obviously was still seething about how Hillary Clinton had blindsided him in their first debate over his cruel handling of his Miss Universe, who was the very same Alicia Machado, when she won the beauty contest 20 years ago. Hillary had him backpedaling as she attacked him for being a serial misogynist. That’s when she brought up Ms. Machado and her descriptions of how Trump, who ran the competition, made her life a living hell when she gained some weight. According to Alicia, he ridiculed her as “Miss Piggy.” Trump didn’t deny it. Adding to his cruelty, he re-

King Features commentary Bob Franken

sorted to an ethnic slur to describe Miss Venezuela/Universe as “The Housekeeper.”

As much as anything else, Hillary Clinton won the debate when she drew blood by confronting him with Machado’s charges. By the way, Hillary did win the debate, even though Trump’s various toadies tried to cite totally unscientific web surveys that named him as the victor. Even so, it could have been forgotten after a day or so, except that Donald Trump, like the elephant he is, never forgets. He couldn’t let it go, as we found out several days later when he fired off his early-morning tweets. And by the way, if he called Machado “Miss Piggy,” can the overweight Trump be called “Mr. Elephant”? Sure. What’s good for the piggy is good for the elephant. Or something like that.

The truth is that fat-shaming is as cruel as any other prejudice. It’s particularly unfair to women, who still are victimized by a double standard about their looks. An argument can be made that pageants like Miss Universe perpetuate a dangerously unrealistic expectation that’s harmful to women. Of course, that would appeal to a warped sleaze like Donald Trump,

a dirty old man if there ever was one.

As we’ve discovered, though, his cruelty is not limited to fat-shaming or misogyny. He is an equal-opportunity bigot. He has managed during this single campaign to insult Hispanics, blacks, Muslims, the disabled -- just about everyone but poorly educated white guys. In spite of that, he has attracted millions of passionate supporters. Actually, it’s more accurate to say that it is because of that, which makes his followers pretty, what’s that word, “deplorable.”

Because he’s lately paid attention to his advisers, he’s managed to soften his most egregious verbal assaults, mostly sticking to the script and even discussing substance, albeit pretty superficially. This seemed to camouflage his narcissistic nastiness. By doing so, he had moved into a tie with Hillary. Of course, she and her people have helped with an inept campaign.

Trump is now threatening to bring up all the ugly memories of Bill Clinton’s infidelities. Considering his unsavory marital record and those of his two loudest surrogates, Rudy Giuliani and Newt Gingrich, that could severely backfire. Hillary has already called his tweet “unhinged.” Ultimately, this election could hinge on his being unhinged, and his inability to hide it. The country’s well-being also hinges on it.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Tractor Supply Company, in partnership with National 4-H Council, is announcing the October launch of the 2016 Fall Paper Clover Campaign. During Oct. 5-16, funds will be raised when Tractor Supply shoppers purchase a paper clover for $1 or more at checkout, which will be awarded as scholarships to individual 4-H members wishing to attend 4-H camps and leadership conferences across the country. With the completion of the 2016 fall campaign, Tractor Supply and the National 4-H Council hope to reach the milestone of $10 million raised for 4-H members since the partnership began seven years ago.

With the more than $935,351 raised during the 2016 spring campaign, Tractor Supply and its shoppers have now raised more than $9.2 million for 4-H programs across the country in only seven years of Paper Clover Campaigns. The effort has provided direct support to further county level 4-H programs. Effective this fall, funds raised will be used to provide scholarships to youth for 4-H camps and leadership experiences.

“Partnering with 4-H gives us the opportunity to enhance our stores’ communities and provide support to 4-H members,” said Christi Korzekwa, senior vice president of marketing

Savings Incentive Program sets beginning farmers on right path AMES – Practical Farmers of Iowa is currently accepting applications to its Savings Incentive Program, which helps those seeking a career in agriculture start out on the right path thanks to help from an experienced mentor, access to a strong support network, help drafting a solid business plan and a few thousand dollars in start-up cash.

Applications for this competitive program only open once a year and must be submitted by Friday using the online form found at http:// practicalfarmers.org/savings-incentive-program. Those admitted will be part of the the 2017-18 class. Submissions will be evaluated by a committee of Practical Farmers members using a scoring system that rewards a noticeable commitment to developing applicants’ independent farming goals.

The Savings Incentive Program works by encouraging enrollees to save $100 per month for two years. After 24 months and completion of all program requirements, participants earn a dollar-for-dollar match on money saved up to $2,400, for a possible $4,800 that may be used to help purchase a farm asset. Participants are also paired with an experienced farm mentor, connected with a network of farming peers and learning opportunities, and receive help creating a farm business plan. To date, the program has helped more than 100 beginning farmers get

started.

Having a solid business plan benefits a farm business in many ways. Not only does it serve as a road map for future growth, it can be used to help secure additional funding. Creating a business plan is a core part of the Savings Incentive Program. Participants receive resources to help them get started, assistance from business plan reviewers and have regular progress check-ins with Practical Farmers’ staff.

Program requirements As part of the Savings Incentive Program, participants are paired with a mentor, with whom they must meet in-person at least three times in the first year. Participants also open and manage a savings account with Practical Farmers’ partner bank; meet at least one time in person with a business plan reviewer; create or finetune a business or whole-farm plan; attend at least four Practical Farmers events per year

Can’t stand the preheat?

Dear Heloise: I just bought a BAKING DISH at an estate sale, and on the bottom is written: “Safe in dishwasher, freezer, microwave and oven (not preheated).” What do the words “not preheated” mean? – A Reader, via email Many recipes start by telling you to preheat the oven to a certain temperature and then add the dish.

The dish you bought requires you to place the dish in the oven and THEN set the oven temperature. This will allow the dish to heat at the same rate as the oven. If you don’t do this, you risk breaking the dish due to the extreme temperature change. – Heloise MOCK APPLE PIE Dear Heloise: You had a recipe for “mock” apple pie. You guessed it: I made a mistake and did not clip it out. Can you please print it again? – Molly T., Rapid City, S.D. I sure can! To make Heloise’s Mock Apple Pie, you need the following ingredients: Pastry for double-crusted 9-inch pie 2 cups water 1 1/4 cups sugar

Hints from Heloise 2 teaspoons cream of tartar 20 single-stack square soda crackers (regular, salted) Butter (for dotting) Ground cinnamon (for sprinkling) Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch pan with one crust. In a medium saucepan, boil the water, sugar and cream of tartar until the sugar is dissolved.

Add the whole crackers and boil for 1 minute. Spoon the mixture into the pie shell.

Dot the top with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Cover the pie with the other crust and cut steam vents.

Bake for 35 minutes. Let the pie cool completely before cutting into it. For this recipe and many others, order my pamphlet Heloise’s AllTime Favorite Recipes by going to www. Heloise.com, or by sending $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (68 cents) envelope to: Heloise/

Roundup Creston JV football falls at Winterset Winterset reaped some semblance of revenge with a 38-13 victory over the Creston/ Orient-Macksburg JV team Monday.

“Tonight (Monday) was a tough night for us, to get any momentum going,” coach Kevin Cooper said. We gave up early touchdown to their offense, and then gave up a special teams touchdown to start the game. I felt like we competed well the rest of the night, but we just dug ourselves that early hole, and that was the difference in the game.”

Notable performances included: Tristan Travis recording 17 tackles, Cody Wagner returning a kick for a 92-yard touchdown while also catching two passes for 23 yards, Rylan Luther making four catches for 62 yards and rushing for 37 yards and a touchdown on six carries.

Quarterback Eli Loudon completed 11of-20 passes for 96 yards and an interception. He also rushed for 37 yards on seven carries.

Garrett Dahl also recorded an interception.

Freshmen After a second tipped pass touchdown for the Winterset freshmen team Friday in the game’s final minute, Camden Peterson helped save the day with an interception on the Huskie two-point conversion attempt to preserve a 15-14 win.

The freshmen improved to 3-1 with the win.

Peterson caught a 32yard touchdown pass from Eli Loudon in what was a sporadic second half.

He also tallied what proved to be the winning points when he hauled in a two-point conversion catch after a touchdown run by Rylan Luther.

“Tonight was a very exciting win for our team. The first half was mainly a defensive battle, with the score being tied at zero at halftime,” coach Kevin Cooper said. “The second half was an up and down roller coaster ride, and literally came down to the last minute of the game. We got a couple huge catches from Luke Latham and Camden Petersen to help us grab some momentum. It was an exciting finish, with us stopping them on their two-point conversion to seal the victory.”

Andy Mills and Brant Looney combined for 33 tackles, Brayton Chestnut picked a pass off and Eli Hartman picked up a sack in the win.

Lenox surges late to defeat Nodaway Valley

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD — Both Lenox and Nodaway Valley were set to do battle for a fifth victory on the season in Greenfield Tuesday for the Wolverines’ senior night.

The 11 Nodaway Valley seniors came out fired up in front of a large crowd, but Lenox took the last three sets of the evening, winning 3-1 by scores of 21-25, 25-23, 25-15 and 2520.

“We definitely came together,” Lenox coach Sara Dukes said.

Come together they did. With everything going Nodaway Valley’s way, the Tigers snatched up the momentum in the second.

With strong play from Shantelle Brown, Hannah Davis and Jacy Stoaks, the Tigers raced ahead 11-5 and then 16-8. Nodaway Valley fought its way back into things with a five-point swing late in the set. Josie Clarke and Sadie Marnin combined for a block to make it 18-14, Marnin ended a long rally with a kill, and Clarke smashed another ball down to the floor to make it an 18-16 score in the third set.

After Dukes called a timeout, Lenox got a point back, fended off more strong play from Marnin and Paige McElfish and earned the 25-23 LENOX | 9A

Panther rally falls short at home Shenandoah wins key points in sets three and four to win match

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Creston’s volleyball team stood poised to take a commanding two sets to one lead during Tuesday’s Hawkeye 10 matchup with Shenandoah.

But the same issue that’s been a thorn in the side of coach Polly Luther’s team continued to be so once more.

The Fillies turned a deficit into a lead to take commands 2-1. Shenandoah carried that momentum into the fourth set and went on to win, 2517, 21-25, 25-20 and 25-22 Tuesday at Panther Gym. The Panthers have struggled to find the spark that can help them keep the momentum going in matches throughout the season.

That same struggle showed up again.

“We need to learn to close the deal,” Luther said.

“Our confidence is not there enough for us to do that. All it takes is one wrong turn.

It’s very frustrating, very frustrating.”

Luther has seen the potential of her team in practice, but that hasn’t always CRESTON | 9A

AFTON — Mount Ayr started off strong in Tuesday’s Pride of Iowa Conference match against East Union.

The Raiderettes carried that momentum over into the second game, then played plenty well in the third game to earn a sweep over the Eagles 25-12, 25-6 and 25-15.

While the Eagles had a little more intensity at first, the Raiderettes quickly overpowered their foe.

“They came out a little

Ayr coach Tori Braby. “We shut them down the first and second game.”

Mount Ayr completely dominated the second set.

“The second game, momentum was on our side,” Braby said. “We wanted to put them away. Everything was clicking. We only missed one serve.”

The Raiderettes consistently returned the Eagles serves throughout.

“We were serve receiving about 98 percent. When you’re serve receiving, the digs and the offense are clicking,” Braby said.

East Union hung tough in the third set, but Mount Ayr eventually prevailed.

“The third game was like last night (against Murray),” Braby said. “We let teams hang around in the third game. We need to keep momentum on our side instead of letting them stick around.”

translated to the court.

“The skill is there,” Luther said. “You might not always see it when they’re playing a lot of times. They look like totally different kids in practice. They get stage fright so to speak.”

It remains a barrier for the Panthers to overcome.

“Until we can clear that hurdle, it’s going to be a rough go,” Luther said.

The team needs a leader to step up in crucial situations, Luther said.

“It’s going to take that one or two people who say we’ve got this, let’s go get them right now and take that bull by the horns,” Luther said.

The Panthers struggled in a set one loss.

In that set, the Panthers suffered a crucial injury when Taylor Buxton went down awkwardly on her leg.

Luther believes the injury to possibly be season ending.

“That’s a big blow for us,” Luther said. “She didn’t necessarily lead us in a lot of the stats, but she sure was a steady presence. She was a steady person, her perseverance there, she’s a tremendous passer. She’s also tough at the net.”

Luther did not mince words of what Buxton’s loss meant to the team.

“Losing her is big mentally and physically,” Luther said.

second set win off of a Davis smash through two blockers.

“I’m going to give it to Hannah Davis. I saw her digging and diving a little bit.

She’s always big on our line,” Dukes said.

Lenox scored eight of the first 10 points in the second set and won convincingly 25-15. Stoaks and Halee Wallace held serve for large portions at a time to keep momentum on Lenox’s side.

With a 2-1 set advantage in the fourth set, Lenox battled back from an early deficit to ride a 9-0 run off the serving of Brooke Miller to a 14-10 lead. Nodaway Valley tied it at 14-14, but the Tigers proved resilient once more.

Lenox won seven of the next eight points and finished off the fourth set win in what might well have been the squad’s best performance of the year.

Dukes noted that things have started to come together for the Tigers as of late.

Creston junior Cayla Maitlen digs out a ball as sophomore Megan Haley looks on during Tuesday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference match against Shenandoah.

Luther had to reshuffle the lineup accordingly.

“I twisted them several different directions trying to figure out what our best bet would be. I’ll twist it (today) at practice,” Luther said.

Rest, hydration and icing joints will be key over the next few days as the Panthers are in their most challenging portion of the schedule. Creston is at Glenwood Thursday, at the Indianola Tournament Saturday and hosts Harlan next Tuesday.

“There’s absolutely no rest,” Luther said. “A lot of the kids are compromised.

We’re preaching ice, sleep, lots of fluids.

“We’ll see what happens.”

Breanna Wallace led the Panthers with 10 kills. Cayla Maitlen and Megan Haley each had eight kills, while Makenna Hudson added five kills. Jaxie Luther dished out 32 assists and was 14-of-14 serving. Bree Ross was 15of-16 serving with two aces.

Haley was 15-of-16 with two aces. Maitlen was 10-of-10 with two aces. Maitlen and Hudson each had 14 digs.

Wallace had 10 digs, while Ross chipped in nine and Jaxie Luther added eight digs.

Creston (6-10, 2-4) is back on the court Thursday at Glenwood in Hawkeye 10 Conference play.

“Probably our turning point was Earlham. The girls really started to gel,” Dukes said.

Lenox might be finding the right time to suceed. The Tigers made a surprise run to the Pride of Iowa finals last year against Mount Ayr, where it was swept in three sets.

The Wolverines lost the spark it had early on and fell to their third straight loss.

“We just need some people to step up and clutch times and really finish one,” Nodaway Valley coach Allison Bjork said. “We have some vocal leaders on the team which is great. We didn’t have that at the beginning of the season. We have people that are picking us up vocally. We just need people to do it now on the court.”

Nodaway had earned that first set win while playing with a large group of senior reserves, with several players performing strongly in their last regular season home match.

“Jenna Christensen, Jordan Christensen and Hannah Jorgensen they stepped up,”

Bjork said. “They’ve been there all season. It just hasn’t worked out the way that I’m sure they wanted where they have been able to play as much as they have. But they’ve been there through it all. They’ve practiced extremely hard. It was their time to shine senior night.”

Josie Clarke led the Wolverines with eight kills. Paige McElfish was busy in the back and around the net.

She finished the night with 28 digs. Kalyn Young and Marnin added 13 and eight digs respectively.

Lenox and Nodaway Valley finished tied with East Union for third place in the west division of the Pride of Iowa with matching 2-3 records.

UP NEXT — Lenox (515) is in the second region for the start of the Pride of Iowa conference tournament alongside Southwest Valley (9-8) and Southeast Warren (12-8). Nodaway Valley (412) is in region three with Interstate 35 (15-9) and Wayne (6-10 going into Monday).

Wurster collected six tackles each. Mills also recorded a sack.

“It was slow going for the offense we put up seven points early in first drive but the Huskie defense was able to hold us off until half,” coach Jon Thomson said. The defense stepped up big and didn’t allow any first downs again in the first half. We made some small adjustments for the second half and came out with a little more pep in our step.”

“We continued the action with a regular clock one half for another game. We did some really positive things in the extension game, scoring 18 points.“

struggled at times. In the first set, Mount Ayr served four out of bounds deep. They improved as the night progressed. Mount Ayr served 89 percent on the night, going 64-of-72.

“Serving wise we kind of struggled,” Braby said. “We need to be serving around 95 percent instead 90 percent. That’s one thing I keep striving. We’ll keep working on in practice.”

Statistically, Kelcie Shields enjoyed a solid night. She had 15 kills, hitting .357, with six solo blocks.

Braby noted it was a bit of an off night for her star.

“She really struggled serving wise,” Braby said.

Braby credited Macy Larsen for setting the tempo for the offense. Larsen finished with 16 assists.

“Macy Larsen had a pretty good night at the net,” Braby said. “She was getting to the ball.

Blair Glendenning had 15 digs to anchor the Raiderettes back row.

“Blair Glendenning has really improved the last two, three games. She runs the back row, runs the court with a good attitude.

That’s helped.”

Keirston Klommhaus added four kills and six digs. Alyssa Johnson had 10 assists and four ace serves.

Mount Ayr finished Pride of Iowa Conference west division play 5-0.

Having a quick match was nice with Homecoming week going on in Mount Ayr. “It’s nice to get a win going into the rest of the week,” Braby said. “We’re pretty busy. We won’t be able to practice. It’s nice to get us ready for the conference tournament.”

East Union was led by six kills each from Mara Weis and Olivia Eckels. Eckels had nine digs, while Jayden Welcher added eight digs and Weis six digs. Quinn Eslinger had 12 assists.

Polk moves ahead on $10.75 minimum-wage increase DES MOINES (AP) — Polk County supervisors gave second round approval to a proposed minimum wage increase to $10.75 an hour even as citizens attending the board’s meeting called for a larger wage increase.

The Des Moines Register reports the board of supervisors voted 4-1 on Tuesday to approve the increase, starting with $8.75 an hour in April and climbing to $10.75 by January 2019.

Some speakers sought a $15 hourly minimum, but Supervisor Tom Hokensmith argued such a high wage would prompt cities in the counties to opt out of the increase.

The board will consider a final vote next week.

If approved, Polk would be Iowa’s fourth country to raise the minimum wage, following action by Johnson, Linn and Wapello counties. Polk County has the largest population of Iowa’s 99 counties.
