Creston Community High School’s communications and service technology (CAST) program has already been collaborating with members of the community on various projects under its previous EAST moniker.

Wednesday, the CAST program held a think tank at CCHS, inviting representatives from a number of different area businesses and organizations.

Nearly 20 representa-

tives from various area businesses attended the think tank, where they then had the opportunity to speak with students and brainstorm ways the CAST program could benefit their business or organization.

The goal of the think tank was to inform businesses of what the CAST program is and does, and how the students in the program can collaborate with community members.

“We created this environment for them to come into and, from that, they have formed Panther TV

start this program, and we want it to go across southern Iowa. Each district, we want for them to have their own brand, work with their own community and build themselves as they continue to grow.”

About 215 employees are set to lose jobs with Ferrara Candy Company winding down production in December. The company which is based out of Illinois plans to consolidate assets into other production facilities.

Of the 215 employees, 127 appear to be residents of Creston.

Executive Director of Union County Development Association Wayne Pantini released a statement Wednesday expressing concern for employees who will be without work.

“This departure will definitely have a negative economic impact to the community and the region,” read Pantini’s statement. “Ulti-

mately, our goal will be to assist the employees in finding new employment or pursue Pantini additional skill training to meet the needs of the current job market. We are optimistic that the majority of those affected can find suitable employment by other regional employers and will remain in the community.”

Ellen Gerharz, director of the Creston Chamber of Commerce issued a similar sentiment.

Vegas shooting renews debate on high-capacity ammo magazines IOWA CITY (AP) — The rapid-fire shooting that killed or injured hundreds of concertgoers in Las Vegas has highlighted the easy availability of ammunition magazines that allow shooters to fire dozens of shots without having to reload.

Gun-control advocates say magazines that can store and feed 30, 50 or even 100 bullets into firearms increase the potential carnage of an attack.

It’s believed that millions of such accessories are legally owned in the U.S. — prized by gun enthusiasts for recreational shooting and self-defense.

The U.S. Supreme Court

is considering whether to take a case that revolves around the issue and asks if the Second Amendment gives people a right to possess the high-capacity ammunition magazines.

So far, eight states have passed laws restricting magazine capacity to 10 or 15 bullets.

Magazines that hold 15 or 30 rounds are often considered standard equipment for new semi-automatic pistols and rifles, and are sold separately for as little as $15.

Some drum-style magazines can carry 50 or 100 rounds.

Police have said they reAMMO | 2A

DEATHS John Dobberthein

Thayer died Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017, at Afton Care Center in Afton.

Services are pending at Thayer Powers Funeral Home, 612 John Dobberthein, 78, of N. Dodge St., in Afton.

covered several high-capacity magazines and thousands of rounds of ammunition from the hotel room and home of Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock.

It’s unclear how many rounds those magazines could hold, but cellphone videos taken by concertgoers recorded bursts of gunfire so rapid and sustained that it sounded like a battlefield.

Authorities say Paddock opened fire Sunday from broken out windows of his 32nd floor hotel room, killing 58 people and wounding hundreds more at an outdoor country music festival.

Police stormed his room and found he had killed himself after committing the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history.

Louis Klarevas, author of “Rampage Nation: Securing America from Mass Shootings,” said it was likely Paddock was using some form of a high-capacity magazine because he fired so many rounds in a short period of time.

“That was non-stop rapid fire,” he said.

Nevada is one of 42 states — along with the federal government — that does not restrict the sale or possession of high-capacity magazines.

The federal assault weapons ban of 1994 outlawed the manufacture of magazines that held more than 10 rounds, but Congress allowed the law to expire a decade later.

Klarevas said his research shows the use of high-capacity magazines has become more common since then in mass shootings. The magazines were used by gunmen who killed elementary school children in Connecticut and moviegoers in Colorado, among others.

Klarevas favors a federal ban on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.

California moved toward such a law last year after voters approved an initiative prohibiting people from possessing ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 10 bullets.

However, the law was blocked in June by U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez, who warned that it would

“We are fortunate that we do have the many industries and other type of business in the community that some of them may be able to find employment,” said Gerharz. “I know the community college is working to provide training that some of them may need. I know workforce development is already reaching out to the employees to help them, if possible.”

History in Creston Ferrara has had issues with Iowa Occupation Health and Safety Admin-

turn law-abiding citizens into criminals if they didn’t give up their high-capacity magazines. He intends to issue a final ruling later but believes the law will likely be declared unconstitutional.

Meanwhile, a coalition of gun rights advocates wants the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a Maryland law restricting magazines that hold more than 10 bullets. A divided 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the law.

The appeals court held that such magazines are most suitable for military and law enforcement purposes and are not protected by the Second Amendment.

The court noted that Adam Lanza, who gunned down 20 first-grade students and six educators in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012, was able to fire more than 150 rounds in less than five minutes.

Lawyers for Maryland argued that limiting shooters to 10-round magazines would allow bystanders and police more time to intervene or get to safety during pauses in firing.

Maryland is among the handful of states to enact restrictions since the Newtown tragedy. Eight states now have restrictions on high-capacity magazines, according to the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which calls the limits in California, Hawaii, New Jersey and New York the most comprehensive. Colorado and Massachusetts are the other states with restrictions.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry trade group, opposes such laws. It has argued that the rules infringe on the rights of law-abiding citizens and do little to prevent crime.

It would not discuss its position in the wake of the Las Vegas attack.

“Not now,” spokesman Mike Bazinet said Tuesday.

Former Connecticut House Speaker Brendan Sharkey, who helped enact his state’s restrictions in 2013 after the Newtown killings, said he has heard no complaints about the law. He said there is bipartisan consensus that high-capacity magazines should be limited.

“The time has long passed for Congress to pass these types of restrictions,” he said. “And in the absence of that, more states should.” istration (OHSA) over the past five years, being fined for five safety-related violations for a total of $54,050.

Iowa OHSA fined the company $10,000 for three other violations in 2016.

In 2015, the Des Moines Register found complaints about working conditions that had been published by an employee of the Illinois-based company.

The employee complained of workers passing out due to excessive heat inside the facility.

However, Iowa OHSA did not fine the company for the incident because there was never a formal inspection. The previous fines issued by the Iowa OHSA were not related to heat.

Wednesday’s press release is still the only public comment Ferrara has released regarding the plant closing.

10 years ago An open house was held to celebrate the opening of a new State Farm Insurance with Agent Ben Adamson.

Union County Cattlemen grilled hamburgers and the trimmings so the public could meet the team of Adamson, Nichole Bierle and Barb Bennett.

Ann Coulter was an avid gardener but was putting much of her free time into a new labyrinth garden at Southwestern Community College. The labyrinth is a traditional pathway that winds its way from the outer edge into its center and back.

An investigation into missing funds in Gravity identified $7,858 were improperly dispersed. The investigation was requested by the city council of the town of 208 people after concerns were alleged against City Clerk Robin Lock.

20 years ago The Natural Resource Commission was expected to approve a $100,000 REAP grant to construct an 8-foot wide asphalt hiking/ bike trail from McKinley Park, through the proposed James subdivision and to near Greater Community Hospital.

CAST: CONT. FROM | 1A

CAST is currently offered as a high school elective class at CCHS, whereas at partner schools Danville and New London, it is offered as a core credit.

Creston Community School District partnered with Green Hills AEA to transform the classroom the students learn in.

The high school’s 21C room features a number of televisions scattered throughout the room and is highlighted by its open space and comfortable seating.

“It doesn’t allow for the traditional style of teaching,” Lane said. “That was our very first thing was to shake things up and put our teachers in a position they weren’t able to go back to the way we went to school. We wanted it to be about student choice.

We wanted it to be about comfort for them.”

The room fosters an environment where students are able to be creative.

The projects the CAST students work on are interdisciplinary, often incorporating several different areas of curriculum into one project, whether it be math, science, social studies or English.

Michael J. Harden, 34, of Des Moines was arrested at the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in Des Moines and charged with third degree burglary in the theft of explosives in Union County. When first reported, Schildberg Construction reported 1,000 pounds of explosives were stolen from south of Thayer in late September, but revised it to 50 pounds. The explosives were found and recovered in Des Moines.

50 years ago The price of a haircut at Creston barber shops went up 25 cents as a result of the rising costs of materials and the new three percent sales tax on services.

A meeting of the barbers was held on the subject and Students take those skills and apply them to their projects.

One of the biggest collaborations between the CAST program and the community thus far has been the partnership with KSIB Radio, making Panther TV come to life.

Through that partnership, Chad Rieck of KSIB Radio has worked with students to live-stream athletic events and other school activities, while also producing commercials for various businesses to air during those broadcasts.

“We try to match students up with their business interests, personality, what types of things they excel at, some of those skills I can get a good read on to get a better match for the businesses, as well,” said Maggie Arnold, CCHS CAST instructor.

The CAST program currently holds a project count of 25, which continues to grow. Many of those projects are student led.

“They really do get that real-world experience, application to the business community,” Lane said. “They are free then to explore their passions. You have the ability to have this group of students be problem solvers for you. The kids engage in projects that may or may

they discussed rising cost of supplies and the decision on the higher price was announced.

The resignation of Robert Kessler as a member of the Creston police department was accepted by the city council. Kessler told the council he was making the announcement at that time with his future plans and would leave effective Oct. 15. Kessler joined the department in January 1966 and was named assistant chief in spring 1966. The council expressed regret of his decision.

Initiation of freshmen girls attending Southwestern Community College was planned by the coed council. A “hippie” parade was at the start and the girls would dress in “hippie” garments, take their appointed places in the business district and the join the parade as it reached them.

Lane said one thing the program helps students work on is how to compose an email, how to hone their online skills in a video conference and how to conduct themselves during an in-person meeting – skills that otherwise might not be taught in a high school class setting.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, October 5, 2017

Ex-Panther carries inspiration from revered coach on Huskies’ sideline My first fall of covering sports in Creston was in 1985, when the Panthers made their first playoff appearance under coach Dick Bergstrom.

Also that fall, we ran a photo of a promising eighth-grade running back scoring a touchdown in a junior high game at Panther Field.

His name was Dennis Shaw.

He would go on to become the school’s all-time leading rusher at the time, with teammates such as current elementary principal Scott Driskell at quarterback and Panther assistant coach Chad Briley at defensive back and wide receiver.

It was the fateful “coin flip” team that lost a shot at the 1989 playoffs after an upset loss to Shenandoah and defeat to Harlan. It’s still one of the most explosive Creston teams I’ve ever watched.

Shaw’s eighth-grade coach that year was Gary Wimmer, who died Sept. 7 in a tragic tractor rollover accident. Later, when Shaw was a junior in high school, he lost his father. People like Wimmer, Bergstrom and track coach Dick Skarda were like father figures to him at a tough time.

Fast forward 32 years on that same field, and Shaw drew upon the lessons from some of those influential people in his life as he served as associate head coach and defensive coordinator for Winterset playing Friday night on Creston/O-M’s homecoming. And, a

Straights shots Larry Peterson senior feature writer member of the Huskies squad was his own son, junior Kaden Shaw.

Before the game, Shaw told the Huskies he was carrying the funeral program for Wimmer with his defensive play card that night, and would be working hard to coach in the manner Wimmer did on that same field. Shaw had reached out to the Wimmer family — wife Janene and daughters Benjie and Ashley — to tell them he wanted to do that.

Ashley Scott had lived in Winterset for a time and her son’s teacher there was Shaw’s wife, Kim. That was also a circle of life moment for Kim, who felt Gary Wimmer had also been a father figure to her as a youngster growing up in Creston before moving to Alaska with her mother. Kendra Shaw, daughter of Dennis and Kim, babysat Ashley’s young children in Winterset.

There were many tentacles to this family bond, which made it so hard for Dennis when he got a text from a former teammate at practice last month that Mr. Wimmer had died. Last Friday, the emotions were still running strong, especially when he stepped on that

familiar field.

“We talked about how he coached me in junior high,” Shaw said after the Huskies’ 35-19 victory. “I told them I would coach them the way he coached us, and I would love them a little bit more.

Gary was always a guy who looked at us and said, ‘I’m proud of you,’ no matter how well we played. I wanted to honor that family. It’s the real deal.”

Huskies head coach Zach Sweeney was all for it. He’d experienced his own tragedy with the loss of his wife Billie from gastroparesis last June. On Friday, Shaw was wearing one of those green Husky Nation shirts that were part of the remembrance of Billie’s fight and the program’s annual Green Out night to bring awareness for research and funding.

Shaw was also able to have his son meet Bergstrom, who had done so much to inspire his own

Wimmer was Shaw’s eighth-grade football coach.

coaching career and leadership style. It was a special night in his hometown.

Wimmer’s family was appreciative of the gesture, which came less than 48 hours before the family burial service in Jerusalem Cemetery on Sunday.

“We thought it was so cool,” Ashley said. “That is exactly what Dad would want you to do, inspir-

ing kids to be their best, and seeing the best in those kids and making them believe it. Dad was helping Clint and Adam Travis with a youth football team. The night before his accident he told the boys one of those speeches that brings everybody together. He had asked Clint and Adam if he could do that.

So, it was one of the last things he did, helping kids like that.”

HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Las Vegas shooting Sunday sparked a bitter debate on social media over gun rights in the U.S. and how far gun rights extend to American citizens.

Taken as a whole, last weekend taught us all one lesson. There are now two places that you can no longer go to safely, North Korea and outside.

North Korea went on high military alert following a Twitter exchange between Kim Jung Un and Donald Trump calling each other crazy and deranged.

All the name calling and the lies flying back and forth between Kim Jung Un and Donald Trump can only mean one thing. They once dated.

The U.S. Monuments Commission said a 50-foot-high statue of a nude woman will be built on the National Mall in D.C. Now that’s my country. It took decades after their deaths for statues to be built honoring Lincoln, Jefferson and King, but it took five days to build one honoring Hugh Hefner.

The UN published a study of diet requirements to help bring distressed populations worldwide to a proper weight. They

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

said fruits and vegetables are necessary to build up bones and muscle in sub-Saharan Africa.

As for the U.S., the UN points out that cocaine is zero points on Weight Watchers.

The Department of Health released a diet study saying that the states with the most obesity are Alabama, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Kentucky. And everyone’s excuse is that it’s not their fault. ISIS just claimed responsibility for opening my package of chocolate donuts.

GOP Senators took a lot of heat Tuesday over their proposed bill that would legalize silencers on firearms. The idea is perfectly reasonable from a Republican’s perspective. If there’s one thing that’s worse than an automatic weapon going off, it’s one going off in the middle of your backswing.

England’s Prime Minister Theresa May was the first world leader to denounce the Las Vegas shootings Sunday night.

Other leaders and groups soon followed. The Islamic Council of America just condemned the Las Vegas shootings and no, Mr. President, it wasn’t for cultural appropriation.

Senate Democrats seized on the Las Vegas shootings to call for re-thinking the whole concept of gun rights in America.

It won’t fly. Their only hope is research that would discover the Second Amendment was just a spelling error by a guy who wanted the right to wear sleeveless shirts in public.

A Wall Street Journal poll says only 5 percent of the coverage of President Trump is positive. It’s because all the audience wants to hear about are problems, faults, past sins and sex scandals. Customers don’t pay the Comedy Store $20 a ticket every night to hear me discuss how well I’m doing.

The UN observed World No Alcohol Day Monday, sponsored by the International Council of Nurses to spotlight the dangers of teen drinking. I did a dozen years of intense research on the subject of drinking and remember the time fondly. Alcohol is not the answer, but it was always my first guess.

HINTS FROM HELOISE An outlet for shopping

HOROSCOPE For Friday, Oct. 6, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)You feel restless and excited about something today.

Beware of having a knee-jerk reaction to something that you might later regret. Think twice before you act.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Today you are aware of something going on behind the scenes. It keeps repeating itself in your mind. The problem is, this distraction may keep you from doing what you want to do. Oh well.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might meet a real character today, or perhaps someone you know will do something that amazes you. Enjoy your interactions with others, because this is not a boring day.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be on the lookout because bosses, parents and VIPs might throw you a curveball today.

Do not overreact. Do not quit your day job. Wait until the dust settles to figure out what to do.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Unexpected opportunities to travel might fall in your lap today. If you want to take advantage of this, act quickly because this window of opportunity is brief. Yay! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Double-check all details regarding taxes, debt, inheritances and shared property because something unexpected could affect these areas. Know what is happening.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A friend or partner might surprise you today. This person might want to change the relationship. He or she might even want to demand more freedom. Who knows?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Your work routine will be interrupted by computer glitches, canceled meetings, staff shortages - something. Give yourself extra time to have wiggle room to cope with the unexpected.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Say “yes” to a surprise invitation to a fun event today. Guard against sports accidents, which might occur.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A small appliance might break down at home today, or a minor breakage could occur.

Someone you least expect might knock on your door! (Get dressed.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Be careful and pay attention to everything you say and do, because this is a mildly

accident-prone day for you.

Keep your eyes open. If you are mindful and aware, you’ll have nothing to worry about.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Watch your money scene today. You might find money, or you might lose money.

Likewise, protect and guard your possessions to protect them from loss or theft.

YOU BORN TODAY You are futuristic and a great planner.

You’re also friendly and amica-

ble toward everyone. This year is associated with success, power and money! It’s time for you to reap the benefits of the past decade. Expect to attain aspects of power and leadership in all your relationships with others. This also is a busy year. Are you ready?

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I have always enjoyed shopping at OUTLET STORES, but I’ve learned a few things about them, and I’ve come up with some hints to share: * The majority of items in the outlet stores these days aren’t leftovers from the company’s mainstream retail store; they were made for the outlet – made so they can be sold at a lower price. There may be quality differences. * I look for items off-season. This time of year, I’ll shop for swimsuits and shorts sets. In the spring, it’s sweaters and winter coats. * I get on the mailing lists of the stores I like. They email me special promotions. * Outlet stores and malls can get packed with people.

I try to shop on the off days, like Wednesday mornings. * The best bargains are on the clearance racks – these usually are in the back of the store.

I can save money at the outlet store, but it comes at a price! – Cindy D. in Texas DONATION NATION Dear Heloise: I work for a well-known charity group.

We accept donations of clothes, shoes, toys, household items, etc., that we re-

sell to the public.

I’d like to ask your readers to please donate items that are clean and in good condition, and in season (if possible).

If you have clothing that is stained or overly worn, you can donate it, because we can sell that to a different agency or use it for different purposes. Place these items in a separate bag or box. – Julie W. in Texas MIX-INS Hi, Heloise: I just wanted to pass on a hint regarding foundation that your readers may like. I can’t believe this is something I just started doing in my mid-50s.

If you are a foundation user, it can be hard to find the right shade. If this happens, you can just mix the shade you have with one that’s a little lighter or darker, and with a little practice, you should be able to come up with your perfect shade. – Beth in Litchfield, Conn.

THREAD COUNT IS IMPORTANT Dear Heloise: Would you advise me on the best thread count for sheets (cotton or polyester)? Also, I had a problem with towels in the past. They just don’t seem

to last long. – Sandra L., via email Dear Sandra: Thread count determines the softness, and the best range is 400 to 800 thread count. But be sure to look at the fabric as well. Egyptian and Pima cotton are the best choices.

Read the labels for washing instructions, and to prevent “pilling” on your sheets, never wash with your towels.

Use medium heat to dry the sheets. A hot temperature also will cause pilling, and is hard on the fabrics. Expensive sheets are not necessarily the best quality, either.

As for towels, look for thickness and softness. Wash in cold water and use a medium (not hot) dryer. Also, use the manufacturers’ recommended amount of detergent. – Heloise Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at) Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Newer Look, Even Higher Expectations

By SARA WILLIAMSON Dear Reader, Welcome to the 2017-2018 CCHS publications staff! My name is Sara Williamson and I am the senior editor of The Prowler. This year our staff is fourteen members strong, with four returning seniors. The Publications staff is responsible for The Prowler, our school newspaper, and The Crest, the yearbook. Not just anyone can make it onto the Publications Staff, all fourteen students had to apply for the position. Yet again we have a new teacher overseeing all of our work, Ms. Olivia Gard.

“I am very excited for this year, I think we have a great group of students,” said Gard about the upcoming year. Ms. Gard has high expectations for us this year, especially after last years success.

“My main goal is to create quality content, even better than last year,” said returning senior staff member, Sabrina Miller. As a whole our class is focusing on surpassing last year's massive success. We have twelve new members and ten of those are juniors.

Riley Beard is the junior editor to The Prowler, in her words, “It’s overwhelming and exciting to be in publications this year, we have a lot of work ahead.”

The Crest is CCHS’s yearbook, our brand new amazing senior editor is, Nicole Akers. Her main goal this year is to include every student more than once.

When asked what she is looking forward to she said, “I am excited to work on the style and layouts of the yearbook.” Myah Lanteri is the junior editor for the yearbook and when asked why she joined the staff she said, “I was interested by what my friends had said about this class and wanted to watch the yearbook come to life from nothing.” Like many other staff members Myah enjoys how open the class is to different ideas.

I joined publications last year not knowing what to expect. In this class we have a lot of stress and deadlines but we also have an amazing connection as a family. I am looking forward to what this year will bring. I would like to thank our readers for being supportive of our Staff. As student journalists we are very lucky to have a supportive community. Huge thanks to The Creston News Advertiser for printing The Prowler. It is my pleasure to welcome the twelve new members and our new teacher to the Publications Staff. I know we have a good team here and I hope we continue to reach our goals. We are the 2017-2018 publications staff.

Thank you, Sara Williamson.

Homecoming Blues

By JEFFREY DILLENBURG Friday, September 29, was the long awaited homecoming football game for the Panthers. Our opponent was the Winterset Huskies, the beginning of the game had the Panther’s hopes for victory high. They went on an impressive drive that led to a touchdown, however, the Huskies’ next drive led to a touchdown. After first half, the score was 28-7, with the Huskies in the lead. The Huskies kept their momentum for the rest of the game.

After a scoreless fourth quarter ended with the score 35-19, with Huskies taking the victory and Panthers crushed.

After the game, I was able to talk with some players and listen in to their thoughts and feelings about

the game. I asked Tucker Flynn, a senior lineman and student at Creston High School, what he thinks went wrong during that game and how he could've improved the outcome as an individual player . “We beat ourselves,” said Flynn. “As a player, it is hard for me to determine what I could have specifically done to change the result of the game. I go out every game, and work in every play like it is my last. However, as a team, in regards to both sides of the ball, we have areas that could use improvement. We need to work on finishing games, both physically and mentally.”

The Panthers are hoping for redemption at the next game on Friday, October 6, against Glenwood, at home for the “Tackle Cancer” game.

Pride in the Pack

By KELSEY WATSON

This last week was homecoming week at school. Students and faculty alike showed school spirit by participating in the dress up days. Five individuals were asked about panther pride, what it meant to them,and how they show it.

Jackson Kinsella, a freshman of the football team for CCHS, was asked about how he shows panther pride. He answered by saying he gives 100% on the field and shows good sportsmanship, along with not being rude on the field or in the classroom. Kinsella said that panther pride means to be a role model, for the community but also for family, and by doing well in the classroom and athletics.

Maisy Franklin, a sophomore band student at CCHS, was also interviewed about how she shows her panther pride. She said her panther pride is showing respect and going to football games and playing with the band, and generally supporting the school. Next she was asked what panther pride means to her. She replied with being an active member of your community. She says that we should love and respect our community.

The Panthers awaiting a call in Friday’s game. The team had an impressive first touchdown but were unable to keep momentum in the game.

Moving further down the line of students, Maura Kinsella, a junior of CCHS, answered that panther pride means supporting our school and respecting everyone in our school. She was also questioned about how she represents panther pride. Responding with an answer of going to the activities and cheering loud, and participating in all of the football game theme nights.

Senior, Madison McCaulley, an active color guard member for CCHS, thought about how she shows her panther pride. She stated that she supports the football team and when the band performs during halftime. Her definition of panther pride is supporting everyone in the school no matter who it is.

Marching on to Victory

By RILEY BEARD

The Creston/OM marching band has been up bright and early every moring for 6:45am rehersals.The 2017 field show is called “Energy and Pulse.” It features almost every member of the band running at one point or another while playing. The Creston band has gone to State Marching Contest and earned a Division I rating for the past 28 years. Their next contest is this Saturday at Valley High School in West Des Moines.

The next weekend will be state, where the band hopes to earn their 29th consecutive Division I rating.

LEFT: Bailey Hopkins is the 2017 Homecoming Queen. She is also the lead snare player in band.

Mr. Messerole, is the principal of CCHS, and was questioned about how he shows panther pride. He gave the response of, “By supporting your classmates in class and in activities.” He was also asked about what panther pride meant to him. He responded with, “Giving your best daily effort in everything you do.”

RIGHT: The colorguard is up early every morning with the band. Here, they are performing at the homecoming game.

An additional perspective came from Billie Jo Greene, an administrator of the Creston Community School District. She shows panther pride professionally, and when in public she wears the panther colors. When she is out of town, she talks about Creston in a positive way. She says that we are the panthers, and that is our mascot. It means the accomplishments of the students, but also the staff and teachers. It is something that is a part of our school.

Publications Staff, School Spirit

By EMILY DONNER

“It’s such a fun thing to see all these outfits and it gives a kind of conversation starter with people you don’t usually talk to.” - Myah Lanteri Some of the publications staff dressed up for Throwback Thursday. 80s and 90s fashion were a popular choice for the students and staff that day.

Retruning senior publications staff member Kiersten Latham was a 2017 CCHS homecoming queen candidate.

When publications staff member Myah Lanteri was asked about her favorite part of homecoming week, her answer was a no brainer. “My favorite thing about homecoming is the dress up days. I really liked the Throwback Thursday and how everybody was able to show their creativity through their outfits,” says Myah. “It’s such a fun thing to see all these outfits and it gives a kind of conversation starter with people you don’t usually talk to.” Myah sported an 80’s/90’s themed outfit on Throwback Thursday, with a groovy vintage ‘clueless’ sweatshirt and the now in style scrunchie.

2017 CCHS Publications staff kicked off homecoming week by not only participating in Sunday kickoff, but by taking pictures to commemorate the memories. The most exciting thing for publications this week was letting the school and community know about our new staff members and showing our teamwork. CCHS Publications is excited about this school year and all the opportunities and experiences publications brings us.

Practical meets pretty: Fresh herbs at your fingertips, even in autumn (BPT) – The end of summer doesn’t have to mean the end of your gardening enjoyment, even if you don’t have the time or climate for a full plot of food plants. Herbs are perfect fall crops; they are prolific growers, can satisfy your desire for fresh, garden-grown greens and are one of the easiest ways to elevate your recipes from so-so to so good! Plus, they’re ready to harvest and growing your own will make a dent in your grocery bill.

The fall gardening experts at Bonnie Plants offer some gardening guidance for planting herbs this fall: Getting started Multiple factors will influence your choice of herbs, including fall temperatures, where you live, and your taste in seasonings.

If you decide to plant

outdoors, it’s important to know when to expect the first hard frost. You can find the estimated first frost date in your area by checking out Bonnie’s online frost map.

You’ll want to choose herbs that like cooler weather, such as parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, mint, chives, lavender and oregano. They’re all prolific producers and some, like mint and rosemary, are especially easy to grow. Availability of Bonnie’s fall varieties is limited to specific regions, so check your local garden retailers.

Pick a place You may envision pots full of leafy, green herbs sitting on a sunny windowsill, while colorful autumn leaves, or even snow, fall outside. However, windowsills aren’t always a best bet for indoor herbs, especially if your windows

are drafty or the herbs brush the cold glass.

Herbs need at least four to six hours of natural light per day to grow indoors, so choose a sunny spot near a window where they’ll be protected from drafts and cold.

South- and southwest-facing windows will give you the most natural light throughout the day. Windows facing north won’t provide enough sunlight.

Picking the right pots If you really love rosemary, you may be tempted to try to plant the largest pot appropriate for your kitchen, but stick with manageable-sized pots that will fit better indoors, allow you to keep your herbs more organized, and still produce plenty of yield. Be sure to choose pots that have good drainage and always use a premium potting mix.

Caring for container

herbs Any type of plant growing in a pot needs water, and herbs are no exception. You’ll need to keep a close eye on your herb plants’ watering needs.

Remember, dry topsoil is not an indication plants need water. A quick and easy test is to stick your finger, or a pencil, into the soil right where the stem enters the soil. If the soil is moist at 1.5 to 2 inches deep, do not water. If dry, it’s time to water! Always water in the morning, at soil level and avoid watering the leaves, as bacteria can breed in cool, wet, damp and dark conditions, like night time.

Fertilize your food plants. Water is an obvious must, but irrigation can wash nutrients out of the soil. Plus, some potting mixes only have a short-term supply of fertilizer while others are

slow-release. Read the label on your premium potting soil mix and follow the brand’s recommendations for fertilizing frequency. Timed-release granular fertilizer or a plant food you mix with water will help keep herbs nourished.

Remember food plants are hungry!

Best bets on basil Although basil is the most popular herb, it can sometimes struggle growing indoors. Start off growing it outdoors on a sunny deck. Be sure to continually pinch-off the prolific leaf growth, which encourages more growth and harvest, until the weather turns cool, then bring the pot indoors. Harvested leaves can be continually dried, although freezing does a better job of preserving the herb’s flavor. Tip: Try using old ice-cube trays, inserting basil leaves in cells, filling

with water and freezing.

When weather gets cold, you can easily pop your “basil ice-cubes” in recipes throughout the cold weather season. Basil is also tasty in some drinks, like lemonade and tea.

While clipping sprigs when cooking is a great way to harness the freshness of any herb, you can also store them and they’ll maintain their flavor.

Preserving by drying and freezing aren’t your only options; try adding herbs as seasoning to cooking oils.

Whether you’re an expert gardener or a firsttime fall grower, autumn is the perfect time to fall in love with the freshness, flavor and ease of herb gardening. You’ve still got time to get growing!

4 reasons why black shingles are resurging in popularity

(BPT) – Grays, browns, taupes - after decades of neutral-colored shingles dominating entire neighborhoods, homeowners are turning to the dark side.

Home improvement experts

agree black roofs are making a comeback, offering a sleek alternative that boosts curb appeal and enhances design elements.

Decades ago black was the traditional color for as-

phalt roofs. Homeowners, seeking to mimic the look of expensive wood shake shingles, started to opt for brown and gray composite shingles.

Black shingles began to fall out of popularity.

But today, homeowners are looking to stand out rather than fit in. A black roof breaks up the sea of sameness of entire city blocks in neutral roofing colors. This bold exterior choice makes a statement with an eye-catching, clean color that contrasts against neighboring homes.

“People today want their homes to be one of a kind,” says Brian Borgard, sales territory manager for TAMKO Building Products. “They want something bold, something to differentiate their homes from their neighbors’.”

Like many shingle manufacturers, Borgard says TAMKO’s best-selling color for many years has been a brown meant to emulate wood shake. “Weathered Wood was the ultimate color even five years ago, but people are looking for a change,” he says. “They want something new, but

still neutral.”

In fact, in 2016 TAMKO’s black-colored Heritage Laminated Asphalt Shingles were the most popular next to TAMKO’s Weathered Wood. This year, Borgard says it’s possible black could eventually overtake the top spot as many contractors are switching all their shingle orders from brown to black.

Roofing contractor John Cotten can testify to the trend in his own business.

“I’ve seen a definite increase in the demand for black roofing,” says Cotten, owner of John Cotten Roofing in Joplin, Missouri, a TAMKO Pro Certified Contractor. “I think homeowners are tired of seeing the same shingles on all of the houses in their neighborhoods - they’re ready for a change.”

So, why are so many homeowners opting for black shingles? These four reasons prove it’s a trend

that won’t be fading anytime soon: Black is modern: A younger generation of homeowners wants a modern home profile. The natural woodshake aesthetic is often perceived as too traditional or old fashioned.

Black matches everything: Unless the exterior of your house is navy blue or dark brown, a black roof will match and enhance the facade.

Black highlights: Rather than hiding or overpowering the features of your home, black tends to highlight architectural features and makes other colors appear brighter.

Black stands out: In a neighborhood of neutrals, black is sure to draw the eye of potential homebuyers or passersby.

Bradley’s stunning triple helps D-backs outslug Rockies 11-8

By BOB BAUM AP Sports Writer

PHOENIX (AP) -Three bags, four times.

And you wouldn’t believe who got in on all the fun for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Spirited reliever Archie Bradley hit a stunning triple in the seventh inning, driving in two runs with one of four three-baggers by Arizona that sent the Diamondbacks past the Colorado Rockies 11-8 in the National League wild-card game Wednesday night.

“After today, I think pretty much I’ve seen everything,” first-year Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. “This was an incredible game.”

As he watched his top reliever rounding second base, Lovullo said he thought, “Please stop there.”

But that’s not Bradley.

“That’s just kind of who I am,” he said. “I don’t know any other way to play, so I was going to run as hard as I could until they told me to stop.”

Paul Goldschmidt launched an early threerun homer and the Diamondbacks built a 6-0 lead before ace Zack Greinke faltered. Colorado climbed back into it and cut it to 8-7 when Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story hit backto-back homers in the eighth off Bradley, perhaps tired from hustling around the bases and DBACKS | 14A

girls narrowly claim top spot at home meet

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley’s girls cross country team had not won a meet since 2009.

In the years since that time, the Wolverines have even been short of runners to score team points at meets.

So when it was announced that Earlham took second-place with 79 team points, priceless look of euphoria swept over the faces of Nodaway Valley’s young girls team.

Reagan Weinheimer and Sophia Broers grabbed spots four and five in the race, working hard all over the hilly terrain of Greenfield Golf and Country Club on Monday. Mallory Kuhns and Madison Van Otterloo took home 11th and 22nd, respectively, as every Wolverine girls runner was crucial in achieving the home win.

“Sophia ran her best race at Wartburg and she ran great…ran with her dad...

I think she ran 200 miles (this summer) and never ran before in her life competitively before cross country,” Nodaway Valley coach Darrell Burmeister said about Broers, showing how impressed he was with his young runner.

Bedford’s Emma Lucas bested rival Elise Emmick of Southeast Warren for the top spots on the girls side.

Mount Ayr picked up a solid third-place team finish with Paige Lynch (ninth) and Makayla Jones (14) leading the Raiderette girls.

East Union picked up sixth as the Eagles work toward full health as a unit.

“Kate (Sutton) ran an amazing race,” EU coach Rich Bryson said. “Gabby’s (Valencia) usually ahead of her. Gabby got her by about five seconds at the end. Kate ran I felt, a really good race.

I talked to the girls beforehand and said ‘conference is in a week, let’s step it up a bit.’”

Other area leaders were Maddie Lohmann of Diagonal in third and Cassidy Nelson of Lenox in sixth.

Nodaway Valley had the top four boys finishers in easily besting the field on the boys side.

T h e Wolverines had Brycen Wallace, J o s h Baudler, Wallace Skyler Rawlings and Tyler Breheny at the top four spots.

“Not too many kids run 17s on this course. He (Brycen Wallace) looked r e a l l y strong,” Burmeister said Rawlings about his Class 1A sixth-ranked individual runner, who finished in time of 17:46.

He noted that all of the varsity runners and top JV

Nodaway Valley is led out of the start by Mallory Kuhns (385) and Reagan Weinheimer (391) at the start of Monday’s meet in Greenfield. Weinheimer took fourth in the field and Kuhns was 11th. Sophia Broers took fifth for the Wolverines.

runners were picking things up competitively, like senior Skyler Rawlings.

“It’s time for him to pick it up and it’s October and we expect him and Brycen to lead us,” Burmeister said.

For Mount Ayr’s sixthplace boys team, Isaac Timmerman and Chase Smith finished within a second of one another at 15th and 16th.

Trent Newton and Camren Solari of Southwest Valley did the same at 69th and 70th.

The Wolverines will host many of the teams at Monday’s meet once more at next Tuesday’s Pride of Iowa meet.

Panthers seek ‘complete game’ Friday

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Creston/O-M head coach Brian Morrison saw encouraging signs in the way his team finished last week’s 35-19 loss to Class 3A District 7 co-leader Winterset.

After falling behind 28-7 at halftime, the Panthers fought back into contention until a special teams miscue opened the door for an easy Winterset touchdown from 1 yard.

It’s eliminating the little negatives, like not scoring after offsetting penalties erased a touchd o w n Peterson pass to Camden Peterson in the first half, that could spell the difference for his 1-5 team (0-4 district) in hosting Glenwood Friday night.

“Little things can make a big difference,” Morrison said. “We fought ourselves back into the Winterset

game in the third quarter.

We won the half (12-7).

I felt really good about how our kids responded in the third quarter, because against Harlan we didn’t do that. We had a legitimate shot to stay in the football game until the punt snap issue that set them up for a score. We were down two scores at that point and the defense was playing well.

We just need to play a complete game.”

Winterset stayed unbeaten in district play and improved to 5-1 overall going into this week’s showdown with Harlan for possession of first place.

Dangerous offense

Now, however, Morrison realizes his team faces an equal, if not greater challenge in the Rams. Glenwood improved to 3-1 in the district and 5-1 overall with a 42-20 victory over Atlantic last week.

While quarterback Kolten Wilwerding from last year’s state semifinal team has moved on to Iowa Western Community College, the current Ram offense has dangerous weapons starting with two-way threat Andrew Blum at

quarterback.

Blum is the team’s leading rusher with 580 yards in 110 carries and has completed 34 of 83 passes for 572 yards and five touchdowns. He has been intercepted five times.

Running back Noah Carter has rushed for 465 yards and nine TDs, including a 75-yard scoring scamper.

The emphasis of this year’s Glenwood team may be advantageous on a night where wet conditions are forecast.

“They run the ball more this year,” Morrison said.

“Both the quarterback and running back are threats to break it if you don’t tackle well. We were giving up another 6 or 7 yards after contact in the first half against Winterset until we improved on that in the second half. That’s really critical this week.”

Morrison said the Rams can strike through the air if a defense is over-committed to stopping the run.

Receiver Cody Buresh has 14 receptions for 255 yards and three touchdowns, including a 72-yarder.

AREA FOOTBALL Battle of state’s best Area football preview: Timberwolves and Falcons collide in colossal battle

■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

COUNCIL BLUFFS — A nearly two-hour drive and about a day separates Southwest Valley’s football team from a date with destiny.

The Timberwolves have done things the right way in turning the program around in two short years, and coach Anthony Donahoo knows just how long Friday’s game could go in establishing the Timberwolves as a power.

Both Class A top-ranked St. Albert and ninth-ranked Southwest Valley enter week seven undefeated.

The Falcons defeated the Timberwolves 33-0 in Corning a year ago, and both teams have certainly gotten better.

St. Albert comes in averaging 51.8 points per game, and Southwest Valley is putting up 35.3.

With rain prospectively in the forecast, the points aren’t likely to come as quickly.

Southwest Valley coach Anthony Donahoo comes in obviously anxious as Corning, Villisca and the surrounding community enters this game riding high right into the territory of a state power, but the Timberwolves had every intention of treating this week like any other week.

When asked the key to success for this Friday’s game?

“Playing loose,” Donahoo said. “Last year we went in tight knowing the playoffs were on the board.”

“It’s just another game.

It is 6-0 6-0, and it is exciting for us, but we’ve got to make sure to prepare the same way,” Donahoo noted.

Southwest Valley turned the ball over just once in last year’s loss and did post 229 yards of offense, but could not break through for the big play that it has become accustomed to making this season.

Chance Cobb leads Southwest Valley’s multi-headed monster of an offense into battle, looking to make a dent against a seemingly impenetrable Falcons de- Cobb fense.

“Basically having four running backs that can run the ball makes it really nice,” Donahoo said. “We know (this) week we’ll need to be really balanced.”

Cobb, Aaron Armstrong and Aiden Gaule each enter the game with more than 400 yards of offense and the team will benefit from Jace Petersen getting back to the backfield for some touches.

Cobb’s top two receiving targets, Addison Bull and Grant Maurer, will have to be primed with hot hands in the Falcon secondary.

The senior quarterback owns a 7-1 touchdown to interception ratio with 572 yards through the air.

will throw with four vertical routes, or a sprint series with the quarterback getting out of the pocket,” Morrison said. “Last week we were able to get some third-down stops in the second half when we got some pressure on the quarterback. That’s the key.”

Morrison felt his own quarterback, junior Kylan Smallwood, made positive strides in the passing game last week and his corps of receivers — for the most part JV players a year ago — has gained confidence.

“Kylan t h r e w the ball the best he’s done all year against Winterset,” Morrison said. Smallwood “ W h a t really hurt about that touchdown (pass to Peterson) getting called back last week was that they said we had five guys in the backfield.

NASCAR THIS WEEK

The Daytona Beach News-Journal’s Godwin Kelly & Ken Willis have covered NASCAR for nearly 60 years combined. godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com ken.willis@news-jrnl.com

DOVER

SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Does that eventual Chase Elliott win come before the year ends?

GODSPEAK: Yes, for his sanity and the emotions of his fan base, I think Chase pulls one out.

KEN’S CALL: No. I’m playing percentages, and it’s much easier to lose than win in a 40-car field.

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED 1. Dearly departed They gave their best shot, but Ryan Newman, Austin Dillon, Kasey Kahne and Kurt Busch are out of the NASCAR playoffs, based on their finishes at Dover. Strangely enough, three of those drivers made the postseason because they won a NASCAR major. Now, major disappointment.

Take a shot at the next four to be eliminated.

GODSPEAK: The survey says, “Johnson, Hamlin, Harvick and Keselowski.”

KEN’S CALL: I’ll go Hamlin, Stenhouse, Blaney and McMurray.

2. Stages matter

MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST Four racers have been cast aside after the first round of the playoffs, but we’re still standing — figuratively speaking.

And podding — literally.

1. Chasing victory

With the first playoff cut now in the books, the field has narrowed from 16 to 12 drivers, who will battle over the next three races for a chance to make it through to Round 3. Toyota drivers Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch swept the first three playoff races. Truex scored three top-five finishes in Round 1. “I thought we ran

Technically, Gordon is a broadcaster with Fox during the first half of the season, and, technically, a broadcaster should be impartial. But two things: 1. This is auto racing, where such conflicts of interest have long been accepted or at least tolerated; and 2. Do you not watch television these days?

It’s the age of biased broadcasting. At least Jeff wasn’t in Elliott’s pit during a race broadcast by Fox. Though that might not hurt ratings.

FEUD OF THE WEEK CHASE ELLIOTT VS. KYLE BUSCH: This isn’t a feud, per se, but more of Busch getting the better of Elliott and winning Sunday’s race at Dover by passing for the lead with two laps left on the board.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Elliott was frustrated. Jimmie Johnson went to console him on pit road. “I anticipated them being cusswords, and they were,” Johnson said, adding “I let him vent.”

Maybe, one day, we will see Chase Elliott crack a smile when he finally makes that hard left turn into Victory Lane. In the meantime, this is about all you will see at the track. [NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/SEAN GARDNER]

THREE THINGS TO WATCH Even race winner Kyle Busch felt a little bad for yanking Chase Elliott’s first Cup Series victory out of his hands with two laps to go at Dover. “I can’t say enough about Chase,” he said. “He’s an awesome competitor and great kid, great friend.” Elliott, who finished second, was naturally despondent in post-race interviews.

“Such a bummer, such a disappointment for my team,” he said. “I don't really have a whole lot to add.”

Some find it odd or maybe even troubling that Jeff Gordon sat atop Chase Elliott’s pit box Sunday at Dover and rooted for his replacement in the No. 24. Gordon then briefly confronted Ryan Newman after the race, sarcastically “thanking” him for the help — Elliott was held up by Newman in the late laps, which allowed Kyle Busch to catch up. It all made for some needed drama to end a day that had stretches of tedium.

Should Jeff be there?

The four stage points Ricky Stenhouse Jr. earned at Dover combined with his points for finishing the race were enough to sneak him into Round 2 of the NASCAR playoffs. He clipped Ryan Newman by two points. “The feeling is lucky, really,” Stenhouse said.

To the chagrin of many drivers, the last 152 laps of Sunday’s race were run under the green flag. The lack of cautions played into the finish. Austin Dillon, who finished 16th, was banking on a late caution. “We tried some more strategy stuff by staying out, (but) we didn’t

awful (at Dover) and finished fourth, so I mean that’s pretty good,” Truex said.

3. McMurray alert Jamie McMurray had a quiet ninth-place finish at Dover, good enough to make the playoff cut. He is listed as 12th in points going into Round 2.

But keep an eye on McMurray

in this three-race stretch. He has won twice each at Charlotte and Talladega in his career.

“Charlotte has been great, and you just never know at Talladega, anybody has a chance to win there,” he said. “That has been a great track for me; I look forward to it.”

Luke Waters leads St. Albert on the ground with 412 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns as six Falcons have at least 100 yards rushing. Receiving targets Tyler Balaha and Blake Rallis have hauled in a combined 31 passes for 659 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Turnovers could end up being the difference in Friday’s game. While St. Albert holds opposing offenses to 3.3 points per game, the Falcons have only created eight turnovers.

Southwest Valley’s defense has 16 takeaways, eight fumbles and eight via interceptions.

Both Maurer and Bull have recorded t h r e e i n t e r ceptions apiece, and the Timberw o l v e s Bull defense has scored four times this season.

While no team necessarily wants to be playing in close games constantly, St. Albert has yet to have a tough contest this season. Southwest Valley has felt the urgency of needing to make plays to

pull out a win in defeating Mount Ayr week two.

The upperclassmen of Southwest Valley will likely be hoping that the adversity they’ve faced, two years removed from consecutive one-win seasons, benefits them Friday night.

Bedford at East Union AFTON — It’s make or break time for the East Union Eagles.

The Eagles (3-3, 1-2) will have to show they have something to fight for at home Friday, as they attempt to hand visiting Bedford (42, 2-1) its second loss of the season.

East Union has lost three consecutive games and have not been as competitive as desired in consecutive losses to Lenox and Stanton.

“We have to go out there and play our best game yet,” EU co-coach James Hardy said.

“We know what they do, we know who plays where, we know what they’re capable of,” Hardy said.

He included tackling, knowledge of down and distance and limiting big plays as keys.

The East Union defense will have to limit Bulldog quarterback Cooper Nally (832 passing yards), as well as a stable of six rushers who have at least 100 yards rushing and two touchdowns.

Kolton Johnson (16 receptions for 290 yards and three touchdowns receiving) will have to be kept in check.

In order to keep up with the Demons, who enter averaging 38 points per game, the Mustangs will have to find success offensively once again.

When asked if he thought the game might turn into an offensive shootout, Malausky thought the weather may dampen each team’s firepower.

“I don’t know if I’d expect it, but with the 90 percent chance of rain Friday I’m not really sure what we will get,” said Malausky.

The Tigers got a little practice in the rain Tuesday during some unexpected rainfall. Ultimately, Malausky doesn’t want any storms to stop play.

“We’re just hoping there aren’t any big storms that could break up any momentum,” Malausky said.

shouting in excitement to giddy teammates.

But then A.J. Pollock knocked in two runs with Arizona’s fourth triple, this one off closer Greg Holland, as the Diamondbacks scored three times in their half of the eighth to finally put it away.

“Right away all hell broke loose,” Colorado manager Bud Black said, “and from then on it was a heavyweight fight.”

Arizona advanced to a best-of-five Division Series against the NL West champion Dodgers, a team the Diamondbacks beat the last six times they played.

Game 1 is Friday night in Los Angeles.

“Look, the Dodgers got on a tremendous run there,” Lovullo said, “and I think they were steamrolling teams and intimidating teams, and I don’t think we have that mentality. We love that battle mindset. We love that challenge.”

The Diamondbacks became the first team with four triples in a postseason game since the Boston Americans (now Red Sox) twice hit five during the first World Series back in 1903 against Pittsburgh.

It was that kind of crazy night in the desert as two NL West foes slugged it out.

Daniel Descalso also homered for the Diamondbacks, and Ketel Marte tripled twice.

“That’s one of the best games I’ve ever been a part of, if not the best,” Goldschmidt said.

Bradley, a high-energy setup man recruited to play quarterback at Oklahoma, went 1 for 4 at the plate this season to raise his career batting average to .098.

With two outs in the seventh, he drove a 3-1 pitch from Pat Neshek to deep left-center to give Arizona an 8-5 cushion. It was his first extra-base hit in the majors and the first triple by a reliever in postseason history.

Already a fan favorite for his bushy beard and late-inning relief work, Bradley regrouped from the two solo homers he gave up to get the final two outs of the eighth with the Diamondbacks clinging to a one-run lead.

Fernando Rodney allowed a run in the ninth before closing out Arizona’s first playoff game since

OSCEOLA – In recognition of October’s Manufacturer’s Month, businesses from Osceola and south-central Iowa will be taking part in a pair of unique job fairs focused on manufacturing and regional employment opportunities and employment education.

From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Thursday, Oct. 5, at Lakeside Casino, businesses will gather to meet with attendees looking to learn more about their companies and talk about employment opportunities. Local job seekers will have time to meet and hear more about each of several companies as well as jobs that may be available through each. Companies on hand will also be able to discuss with potential employees what they look for in employment candidates, including base skill requirements, certifications and education that may help in gaining employment. From office management to welding to patient care, the opportunities available are extensive and this will be a great event for job seekers from all over the region to gather information from numerous employers all in one space.

On Friday, Oct. 6, with the help of Clarke County Development Corporation (CCDC), Clarke Community Schools and the newly formed Industrial Technology Advisory Board, the companies from Thursday’s job fair will move their equipment and representatives to the Clarke Schools’ parking lot to serve as a student-focused education and job fair. From approximately 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., the businesses will be available to talk to students and give tours and demonstrations of their equipment right in the parking lot outside the Industrial Technology rooms at the high school. Students will be given the opportunity to meet with the businesses and their representatives and learn more about these unique career paths and what industries require for future employment.

Osceola and south-central Iowa is a hot bed for manufacturing jobs. Skilled employees are a premium to employers like Salford, Altec, Simco and Iowa Steel – all located in Osceola – and are being pulled from an employment pool reaching from central Iowa to the southern border and beyond. With job fairs like this for recruitment as well as the added education value given to the local schools, the businesses look to build
