Creston’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter attended the FBLA State Fall Leadership Conference in Des Moines Sunday and Monday.

Chapter Adviser Shannon Smith said the fall leadership conference was a way to introduce newer members of FBLA to the organization and showing them how they can get involved.

“Hopefully it motivates them to be involved in their chapter and get ready for the state competition where we actually compete in different events,” Smith said.

The state competition is held in April and students can choose from more than 80 different events to compete in, with a spot at the national convention on the line.

Events include doing an activity as a chapter throughout the year and presenting a report on that

meeting.

“We went through the drawings as they were submitted to us a couple weeks ago,” said Mike Taylor, city administrator. “It’s just as important to have what we want done out here done right, ... and we’re working on that lease agreement, too. I don’t think (Amtrak is) going to be quite as flexible as what they indicated.”

Some of the concerns brought up Tuesday were: the location of parking spaces, physical appearance of changes to the restored Depot, the length of the lease and whether Creston will be able to get out of the agreement if need be.

“This is the first go-through on it, and there’s quite a few things to (figure out),” Taylor said.

After receiving the preliminary drawings, Creston City Council and city employees have several kinks to work through before they’re willing to commit to the Amtrak agreement.

The agreement under consideration between Amtrak and the city of Creston was first introduced more than eight years ago, but for the first time, Amtrak has come up with the funding – an estimated $1 million.

The project would entail first making the current passenger platform east of the restored Depot compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). A future leg of the project could be to build a platform at the restored Parking Depot for the first time in deTo bring the restored Depot cades. up to ADA standards, there Discussion on the prelimwould need to be 12 parking inary drawings took place during Tuesday’s city council CITY | 2A

with only the top four in each event moving on to the national conference in California.

“Finding a good event for them and working on it even now is important in order to get to nationals,” Smith said.

The State Fall Leadership Conference, which was attended by 18 chapters and 273 total students, served as an introduction for many students.

Students attended four different workshops throughout the conference and also took a business tour.

Creston senior Dalton O’Riley, an officer with the Creston FBLA chapter, said workshops included teamwork, brainstorming, accounting and an alumni panel.

Two of the alumni participating on the panel were CHS graduates Travis Miller and Sarah Waigand.

“There were five (FBLA) alumni and they talked about how (FBLA) has influenced their college

On July 20, 1942, Vera married Ernest Lee Hufnagel in Reno, Nevada.

Vera was the last surviving telephone switchboard operator in Lenox before the arrival of dial telephones, she worked in various dress shops in Lenox and drove a bus of special needs children to Creston during the school year. When Ernie purchased the Allis Chalmers dealership in the early 1960s, she became a parts saleswoman.

Vera was active in Lenox Christian Church.

Vera is survived by her sons, Duane Hufnagel (fiancée Jan Dowman) of Las Cruces, New Mexico, and Mike (Lana) Hufnagel of Manhattan, Kansas; four grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Vera was preceded in death by her parents, Floyd and Kate King; brothers, Duane (Dorothy) King and Bud (Gerri) King; sister Elizabeth (John) Williams; husband Ernie in January 2010 and son Mark in February 2003.

Calab Allen Brammer Jr., son of Sara Linn (Beam) and Calab Allen Brammer Sr., was born Nov. 11, 2014, in Creston.

Calab is survived by his father Calab Brammer and mother Sara Philips, both of Lorimor; brother Malaky Pearson of Indiana; sisters, Bethany Murphy of Bondurant, Lillianne Pearson of Indiana and Rikie Beam of Lorimor; grandparents, Rick and Char Beam of Lorimor, Curt Brammer of Afton and Lisa Mick (Bill Snyder) of Creston; great-grandmother Jean Cross of Afton; aunts, Tarra Beam (Jesse) of Osceola, Joni (Josh) Brammer of Afton, Shari Lowe of Des Moines and Cassie Brammer of Newton; uncle Clay Brammer of Arispe and many cousins, extended family and friends.

and how it’s helped them,” O’Riley said. “The teamwork one was a big one. We were given notecards with different sayings on them. You O’Riley had to treat the person like what the note said. You also had to solve a puzzle at the same time.

You had to use teamwork and follow what the cards said.”

Smith took nine students to the conference, two of which have been with the chapter for several years and serve as officers, and seven new members.

“It was a good intro into what FBLA is,” O’Riley said. “Since it was a smaller conference, they were able to get a feel for it. The state conference is a lot, so it can be overwhelming at first. This one was really relaxed.”

The Creston FBLA chapter toured Principal Park in Des Moines for its business tour, learning the day-today operations of the business.

Today is Oct. 6, the 280th day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 86 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Oct. 3-9) in history:

10 years ago Galen Zumbach was named Iowa Teacher of the Year at a surprise ceremony at Creston High School (CHS). The honor was bestowed upon Zumbach, the school’s agriculture science teacher for the past 30 years, as part of the 11th-annual teacher of the year program.

The ceremony was kept secret as Zumbach sat unsuspectingly in the front row with members of his seminar.

As dignitaries Creston Mayor Mike Tamerius and Rep. Mike Reasoner (D-IA), and then his family and former students, were called to the stage the surprise only compounded. “For those of you who know him, he is more than deserving of such an award,” said CHS graduate Andy Jennett, who nominated him for the award. “He has poured his life into the students and the FFA program.”

Joe Parker, Creston city administrator, resigned after 17 1/2 years. He accepted a similar job in Worthington, Minnesota, and was to start in that position no later than Nov. 13. Parker said the decision to leave was based on his desire for a change of pace.

said on the phone, they have many, many depot locations in historic buildings,” Taylor said. “So, that should not be a problem for them.”

Bruce added: “The railing is not necessarily what’s going to look good; it’s the ADA rules. I’m sure we can ask them to take it out, but ... what the ADA tells them, (Amtrak has) to do.”

spaces available for train passengers to leave their cars without being ticketed or towed. And, a few of those spaces must be for disabled parking.

At first, Amtrak had proposed to use parking spaces on the south side of the parking lot located on the west side of the restored Depot. There are about 14 spots there, and 12 of those would be used for Amtrak.

But, many have expressed discontent with this location for parking.

“I think we need to ultimately think about our businesses, which have a tough enough go. If you take away parking from them, they lose business,” said Ellen Gerharz, Creston Chamber of Commerce executive director.

“And then, ultimately, we as a community lose tax dollars they provide to us, to you folks, to spend for all the projects you do for the city.”

Parking is still under consideration, but the council has discussed spreading parking spaces out between the east and west sides of the Depot.

Physical appearance “Out front here are our main, double-door entrances, and there will be a ramp that comes from the west along the building up to the door,” Taylor said.

“There will be a one-step platform out from that door, and there will be handrails Taylor along the

ramp and handrails going out, ... almost all the way to the street – just want you to be aware that’s how it’s designed.

The sidewalk out front going east to west, that would be replaced completely. ... There is no sidewalk on the south end down by the other set of double doors. But, they’re planning to take that brick out and cement that all the way out.”

From the parking lot, Amtrak will put a sidewalk between the Depot building and parking lot.

Mike Bruce, city building inspector, mentioned Amtrak will also remodel the restored Depot restrooms downstairs.

Other changes would include installing automated doors at the front of the restored Depot and at the back set of doors on the west side of the building, relocating the benches downstairs and putting up signage to show handicapped accessibility both inside and outside the building.

“They haven’t given us anything that would reflect dollars, but based on what their plans show, ($1 million) might be a stretch,” Taylor said. “I think that was just an estimate. ... They’re not even close to taking bids.”

The council further discussed the hand railings that would be installed per ADA standards.

“I don’t think I like this railing idea,” said Steve Wintermute, at-large councilman.

“It’s going to garbage it up, and who’s going to stand out there with a shovel and scoop all that snow off?”

Marsha Wilson, ward 4 councilwoman, also expressed concern about the physical appearance of the railings.

“It all has to be approved by the historic preservation people. According to what (Amtrak representatives)

50 years ago Creston High School was celebrating homecoming with a football game against Red Oak. Homecoming princesses and their escorts were Pam Gidley and Jim Hardman, Angie Hook and Tom Rouh, Jane Harpin and Don Herbert, Dawn Buxton and Dennis Adams, and Lynda Anderson and Keats Gaiser.

A special census taken in Creston showed there were 8,034 people, an increase of

Lease terms During the first Amtrak discussion, there were concerns about the length of the lease and the clause about damage or destruction, which would require Creston to replace the station at the city’s expense. It would not be covered by the city’s insurance carrier.

During the Tuesday meeting, there was further talk about lease terms.

“In the agreement, I think it says there’s no way for us to get out of the agreement,” Taylor said. “I was thinking maybe, at minimum, we need 120 days or six months; we’ve got to put something in there that says we have the opportunity to get out of it. At six months, they ought to be able to make a change that there’s not going to be a stop here.”

Wintermute iterated there needs to be further discussion regarding the length of the lease and an ability to get out of it if things aren’t going well.

with the long-term portion of it,” said Gabe Carroll, ward 3 councilman. “But, I think we should h a v e something in there that allows us some Carroll sort of recourse if they’re trashing the place and not having anybody clean it up. We at least need to be able to clean up ourselves and bill (Amtrak) for it or something.”

The council discussed the fact that Creston doesn’t have to enter into a lease with Amtrak at all if an agreement can’t be reached.

But, that would mean Creston no longer being an Amtrak stop.

“I talked to Barb Crittenden at (Southwestern Community) College, and she said she has a number of students come from Chicago that get off here that don’t have cars,” Wintermute said.

Taylor agreed the stop in Creston is important.

“Around the holidays, it’s much busier – around Thanksgiving, Christmas – and it was a little busier when school started,” he said.

“We’ll just try to keep working forward on the drawings and the lease.”

the 99 counties.�

Russell said the Healthiest State Initiative’s partnership with Delta Dental successfully engaged Iowans throughout the state once again. “With this year’s theme, we ‘Stepped It Up’ and encouraged schools, communities and businesses to coordinate 30-minute walks and reminded Iowans to walk 30 minutes every day.� Russell said.

Those efforts, including support from Live Healthy Iowa, helped lead more than 900 walks throughout all 99 counties.

During the time leading up to the walk, the Healthiest State Initiative offered contests, including the K-8 School Contest, the Community/City Contest and the Mascot Challenge Contest. The Mascot Challenge Contest was a bracket-style competition on Facebook where the first 32 schools to register were entered.

Each week, the school with the most votes moved forward. Our 2016 Mascot Challenge winner is Berg Middle School Cardinals in Newton.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, October 6, 2016

When several do it all Once a month, the Creston Volunteer Fire Department meets for a regular meeting in the training room at the fire station.

During these meetings we discuss various things relating to the volunteer side of the fire department, such as who will be working the kettle corn popper on local holidays, how our fundraising money will be spent and that sort of thing.

The past several meetings, however, have been particularly tough because it has become apparent to me that we as a volunteer organization have not been

Girl on fire Bailey Poolman staff writer

as united as we have in the past.

This is something I’ve noticed before, but took the wrong path and denied its existence for a long time. The first year I moved here and joined the Creston Fire Department was probably the best year so far for my service to the community. It was a great learning experience because I learned how I could protect Cres-

ton and Union County, but it was more than that. I got to know everyone on the department, and I thoroughly enjoyed the fraternity I had, and still have, with my mentors.

But that has all changed.

Based on my observations within the department, for things to get done, it takes the same several people every time donating all their time.

After talking about the issue with several others, I’ve come to realize this is nothing new. However, this situation feels unique because there’s more to it than just volunteering to fundraise.

The fire department involves firefighting. However, we still need money in order to survive.

When it dwindles down to only several of us who work each local holiday or fundraiser while others don’t take the time to come to meetings or work one or two hours during fundraisers, it’s difficult to find that drive that makes you want to be part of an organization anymore. It feels like the camaraderie that once was so magical about being a firefighter has sizzled down to nothing.

What bothers me the most, though, about situations like this is how much some people no lon-

ger care for their organization.

This isn’t just happening at our fire department. It’s happening with other organizations all over.

But why be part of an organization if you don’t want to put forth the effort it takes to make it thrive, make it be so much better than it is?

It’s one of those things I know I’ll be questioning for the rest of my existence: why can’t everyone in my brotherhood care enough to do something?

Maybe I’ll never get an answer to this question, but maybe questioning the issue in the first place will eventually lead to an answer.

Letter to the editor

Invest in vaccines

by Ms. Alexandra Hernandez-Pardo Iowa City

I am a student at the University of Iowa and a high school graduate of Ames High School. I just wanted to share a couple thoughts on an issue that is very close to my heart.

Around the world, a child dies every 20 seconds from a vaccine-preventable disease. Strong U.S. government investments in global health and immunization programs save lives, protect Americans at home and abroad from disease threats and have a track record of delivering concrete results in a cost-effective manner.

Investing in vaccines and global immunization programs is not only the smart thing to do, it’s cost effective. Every dollar invested in these programs returns an average of $16

in avoided future healthcare costs and increased worker productivity.

The United Nations Foundation Shot@Life campaign, the nation’s largest grassroots organization dedicated solely to advocating for global child immunization programs, is calling on all U.S. legislators to prioritize robust funding for vaccination programs, particularly related to polio eradication.

Given all that is at stake during this election season, I encourage you to act on something we can all agree upon – increasing access to vaccines that will prevent needless death and suffering among the world’s most vulnerable children. Call Steve King’s office and tell them to strengthen funding for global vaccine programs through USAID, CDC and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.

We all have a stake in the outcome.

Creston Chamber of Commerce happenings I wanted to pass along that the State of Iowa has designated that October is “Salute to Industry” month. Creston is very fortunate to have as many industries as we do which produce such a wide variety of products and are such great community members.

Even beyond this, think of the jobs these industries bring to Creston, the events they help sponsor and promote, local groups they assist, the countless volunteer hours they devote to the community, businesses that they frequent and buy from and how they improve our industrial and commercial tax base to name but a few areas. If you know of someone who works at one of our industries, now is a great time to say “thank you.” Let them know how much we appreciate them being part of Creston, not just this month, but all year.

The Creston Chamber of Commerce would like to publicly recognize and say “thank you” to our industry members: Alliant Energy, Bunn-O-Matic Corporation, BNSF Railway Company, Inc., Creston Publishing Company, Ferrara Candy Company, Gavilon Grain, Green Valley Chemical Corporation and Midwest Carbonic Inc., Innovative Industries, Inc., Iowa Tool and Manufacturing LLC, Petznick Printing Company, Precast Concrete Company, Precision Optical Group, R.E. Lewis Refrigeration, United Farmers Cooperative, Vanmark Equipment LLC and Wellman Dynamics Corp.

October activities There are several activities that will take place in the community this month. The High Lakes Outdoor Alliance banquet and auction will be held Oct. 13 at Three Mile Lake Lodge. CARE’S Bright Eyes in the Park will be held Oct.

Paint Creston project

Yards of the Month

The Paint Creston Project is a program the chamber and Image Enhancement Committee has been sponsoring for seven years to improve properties in Creston.

It is an opportunity for selected homeowners to receive free paint for their home. Over this time, the program has been able to provide paint to 36 homes throughout Creston.

If you might be interested in the program for next year, contact the chamber so that information and an application can be sent to you in the spring.

Stopping super lice Dear Readers: “SUPER LICE”: These words probably make your skin crawl, but they are a reality. If you have school-age kids, they can get it, and in fact, anybody in contact with other people is susceptible. Super lice can be harder to kill/control, but hope is not lost.

What are the first signals that you may have a lice problem? Itchiness and white or gray flakes in the scalp.

These are some hints to follow: If you notice symptoms, begin at the drugstore. Look for lice remedies and shampoos that contain permethrin and pyrethrin.

Talk to your doctor and/ or pharmacist about trends.

They will know, from past and current patients, what is working and what is not.

You must follow a twostep process to fight lice: You need to kill the lice, then repeat the treatment to kill any remaining lice and eggs.

Daily combing with a special fine-tooth comb is critical.

Wash all bedding/towels/clothes in the hottest water possible.

Prevent a reinfestation: No sharing of hats, combs, clothing, etc.

If lice continue, visit your doctor.

Remember, someone who has lice is not dirty or of poor hygiene. Get help

COUNTRY SWCC runners fare well at Arkansas meet STAFF REPORT

FAYETTEVILLE, ARK — Southwestern Community College’s men’s and women’s cross country teams came through with a number of strong performances at the Chili Pepper Cross Country Festival held at the University of Arkansas Agri Park last Saturday.

The Spartans’ first foray outside of Iowa saw six personal bests between the men’s and women’s team.

On the men’s side, Nate Hoyt from Shenandoah ran a personal best time of 26 minutes, 58 seconds over the 8k course to placed 141st.

Hoyt’s time ranked fourth best in SWCC history over 8K. Freshman Jacob Bolinger from Lenox completed the race in 27:36, good for the number eight spot on SWCC’s all-time list. Bolinger placed 194th out of 390 runners.

Gabe Esser was 262nd in 28:50, Kevin Dietrich placed 272nd in 28:50 and Chance Webster was 290th in 29:15.

“I was very proud of the race our men ran today.

To be on the start line with 390 other runners is intimidating, but they rose to the challenge”, said Southwestern Community College coach Nick Ekel. “Nate and Jacob ran great, and continually passed runners throughout the race. They were rewarded with the number four and number eight alltime performances in Southwestern history.”

On the women’s side, all five runners had either season or personal best times over the 5K distance.

Leading the way was freshman Kimberly Zepeda, from Rockford, Illinois. She covered the course in 20:11, good for the number two time all time on SWCC’s list while placing 14th.

Kalli McCann has the best time of 20:00, set in 2012. Freshman Jenna Faust, from Earlham completed her race in a season’s-best time of 23:15, good for a 274thplace finish. Odette Muziranenge from West Des Moines placed 285th in a personal best time of 23:57.

Freshmen Madison Mace of Griswold set a lifetime best with her 24:26. Jasmine Forward from Red Oak placed 298th in a time of 25:20.

“Our women came to race today, with every runner setting a season or lifetime best for the 5k distance” Ekel said.

“Kimmie Zepeda ran a good race today, and she was rewarded with a season’s best, and the number two time in Spartan history.”

“We will continue to improve as we collectively gain fitness.”

Area football: SW Valley faces strong test against St. Albert

By RYAN KRONBERG in Corning.

CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

CORNING — St. Albert has set the standard by which small school teams in Southwest Iowa measure themselves against.

The tradition-rich Falcons have consistently proven themselves to be among the state’s best teams.

Southwest Valley hopes to join the ranks of the elite under the direction of firstyear head coach Anthony Donahoo.

So far the Timberwolves have enjoyed success, starting off 4-2 overall and 3-1 in Class A District 7.

The Timberwolves will see how far they’ve come when they matchup against the third-ranked Falcons Friday

“St. Albert is the barometer of greatness,” Donahoo said. “They’ve set the bar year after year of what being the best is. To be able to go against the best is a very exciting thing and see where you matchup against the best. To be the best, you’ve got to beat the best. That’ll be fun on Friday.”

Southwest Valley has rattled off three straight wins after a 1-2 start.

While the Timberwolves fell to Mount Ayr and Earlham, both games were close well into the fourth quarter.

“Even through the losses, I thought we had a great team,” Donahoo said.

“We’ve got three wins in a row.”

Southwest Valley’s offense has led the surge. In

the three-game win streak, the Timberwolves are averaging 54 points a game.

“We’re scoring a lot of points. We think we’ve got an offense that can go up against about anybody,” Donahoo said.

Quarterback Chance Cobb has been the focal point in the past and is again this season.

What’s different is the weapons Cobb has around him.

“We’re seeing different weapons come up,” Donahoo said. “Someone like Aiden Gaule, and Jace Petersen and Grant (Maurer) and Addison Bull — all those guys have grown and gotten better. We add different plays that accentuate their strengths. We’ve got an offense that’s getting the

ball to seven different athletes. That’s kind of hard sometimes, but it’s not a bad problem to have.”

It has eased the burden on Cobb to come up with all of the offense.

“We know it can’t be the Chance Cobb show,” Donahoo said. “That’s what it was in years past where Chance had to carry the load. That’s tough for a kid, especially since he’s still a junior. Getting the ball into different hands and him making easy reads is a key.”

The Timberwolves defense will be tested by a Falcons offense that’s averaging 56 points a game in district play.

“They’re very balanced.

That’s what makes them

Panthers look to take the fight to Rams Key showdown looms Friday in Glenwood

■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

The importance of Friday night’s Class 3A District 7 showdown between Creston/Orient-Macksburg and Glenwood isn’t lost on anyone around the Panther program.

When 7:30 p.m. comes around Friday, the collective hearts of two communities will be beating ferociously in Glenwood.

Last year’s contest “It was probably the worst game we played last year,” Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison said. “We’re talking about special teams, offense and defense it was the worst game we played all year. I think part of that was we started off slow and sluggish, which you don’t want to do. And then we keep compounding the situation when we do make it 14-14, we just continued to make the same mistakes.”

The Panthers (6-0, 4-0) trailed 14-0 before they ever took an offensive snap. They trailed 42-21 at the half and went on to lose 56-35.

Glenwood (5-1, 3-1) seniors Mavrick Decker and Kolten Wilwerding were the stars of last year’s game between these two. Wilwerding completed 19-of-24 passes last year for 244 yards, five touchdowns and one interception (picked off by Chase Shiltz). Wilwerding also ran for 38 yards.

Decker caught eight passes for 109 yards and scored three touchdowns. He also contributed an interception defensively for one of the five turnovers the Rams forced in the game.

Mindset

Creston/O-M approaches Friday’s game with a different attitude. The Panthers seek to correct the mistakes of a year ago, and carry forth the momentum that they carry into Glenwood Friday.

“They came out last year and they were hitting us in the mouth,” two-way senior lineman Kadon Hulett said.

“We’re a different team this year.”

Hulett was among several different players and coaches in practice this week who voiced the desire to bring the aggression to Glenwood right from the very start.

Morrison was adamant about this aspect of the team’s attitude this week.

“We’ve been preaching to the kids not to match their intensity but create our own intensity that they can’t match,” Morrison said.

“I think that’ll be the key to getting out of the gates fast.”

Not so sheepish of an offense Glenwood comes out just as fear-inducing an offensive squad as the 8-2 team was from last year. The ninthranked team in Class 3A comes in averaging 40 points per game, with the only minus-40 scoring game coming in a 21-12 loss to Carroll in the week three district opener for the Rams.

As noted, Wilwerding and Decker are the two biggest offensive weapons for the Rams. Wilwerding has thrown for 897 yards and 14 touchdowns through the air while completing 55.4 percent of his passes. He has 277 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.

“He’s a dynamic runner, thrower. He’s just a really good athlete, a really good quarterback,” Morrison said.

Senior back Cole Loeffelbein has run behind a large and physical offensive line for 592 yards and nine touchdowns. Decker, with 20 catches, 382 yards and six touchdowns through the air remains one of the biggest

receiving threats in the district. Junior receiver Andrew Blum enters the game with 14 receptions for 223 yards and four touchdowns.

The Rams will provide offensive looks that look familiar to the Panthers. Glenwood will come out from under center in the veer option and in the shotgun in different looks. Out of the shotgun, the Rams will show trips and empty looks that will allow Wilwerding to look to find his athletic receiving targets and showcase just how fleet of foot he is.

“They’re a really explosive team and we have to keep the ball in front of us on defense,” Morrison said.

“We can’t give up the explosive plays. Last year we were playing good at times on defense but we were giving up big plays, explosion plays and the game gets out of hand when you do that.”

Creating a new culture for Southwest Valley football Program experiencing a rebirth this season

■

CORNING — There’s a growing buzz around Corning and Villisca this fall.

The noise comes from the rebirth of the Southwest Valley football team.

For years, the program has mired in a long slump. Losing seasons have been commonplace.

That’s all starting to change.

Under the direction of first-year head coach Anthony Donahoo, the Timberwolves are seeing how a change in the culture can change a program.

It’s creating a renewed energy in Timberwolf football.

“I’ll walk into the gas station and 30 people will be like ‘hey good game’ and I’ll be like ‘sweet!” said senior Hayden Bayles. “That’s never happened before.”

It all starts with Donahoo and the positive attitude he’s brought to the program.

“It’s very refreshing,” said junior Chance Cobb. “It’s been so much different. Everyone is positive. It’s a different program. It’s not the same Southwest Valley.

“It’s a blast. I love it.”

Donahoo has worked to lift players up no matter whether they execute a play right or make a mistake.

“With this coach, it’s more about how do you respond instead of getting down on yourself,” said senior Tyler Means. “It’s how do you respond make it better and go on to the next play and forget about what

Kronberg’s korner Ryan Kronberg sports editor

happened and think about the good and forget about the bad and just keep working hard.”

Donahoo worked to change the mindset about each player playing for themselves, but rather each other.

“Coach is more all about the family instead of just one person here, one person here,” Means said. “Everybody is all about family. He treats us like family. When we come on the football field, it’s like you’re back home. You have a family, you have brothers pretty much and everybody is there. We‘re all protecting each

other and helping each other out.”

Donahoo’s players are buying into the message.

“They’ve all bought in all, of them,” Donahoo said. “I’ve got 11 kids on offense, defense, special teams that all buy in. I’ve got 47 kids out for football. They respond well to that.”

Donahoo and his staff have kept the message the same throughout the season.

“I want to kill the kids with positive vibes,” Donahoo said. “I put seven coaches around me that you’ll never hear negative things come out. They’re always picking the kids up. It’s a good environment for the kids.”

The positive attitude is a big change from years past.

tough is that they’re so balanced,” D o n a hoo said.

“They can run, but they can also pass.

You’ve Donahoo got to play both sides of the ball mistake free.”

Eliminating the errors will be key for Southwest Valley this week.

“You can’t make mistakes against a team like St. Albert and think you’re going to be OK,” Donahoo said.

“We know we need to stay ahead of the chains is big this week.”

East Union looks to bounce back East Union faces a critical test of its mettle this week.

And the Eagles will do so against one of the best teams in the state.

Coming off a demoralizing 42-6 loss to Stanton that snapped a five-game winning streak, the Eagles are on the road at Eight-player sixth- Hardy ranked Bedford.

The Eagles were close to making game-changing plays against the Vikings last week, but were unable to do so.

“A lot of it was understanding what they had to do and didn’t do,” said co-coach James Hardy.

They know those plays will have to be made this week.

“A lot of that is the maturity of our team coming through the season, experiencing the big game and knowing what they’ve got to do for another big game here,” Hardy said. “We are preparing for that big game situation and where we’re coming up here this week.”

The Eagles understand they can compete in the big games. They’ll have to deliver Friday.

“Its one of those things where we have to play some

of our best ball again on the road,” Hardy said. “That’s what we’re doing. Being on the road is an advantage, Hardy believes.

“Putting them on the road sometimes it helps us out to get out of an environment we’re fairly comfortable in sometimes,” Hardy said.

The Eagles will be short a key member of their defensive line and special teams unit for the rest of the season. Junior Colton Abell was lost for the season with a broken fibia suffered early in last week’s game.

“That’s going to be a big loss,” Hardy said. “Fortunately, we’ve got quite a bit of depth.”

Bedford presents a solid ground-based attack.

“They specialize in that.

That’s what they’ve done, that’s been their forte over the years,” Hardy said. “We need to be able to run to the ball, come up and meet their backs in the line early, read the formations and go from there.”

Lenox refocuses after week off Lenox is coming off a bit of an unusual week last week.

Early in the week, Mormon Trail announced that because of a lack of numbers they were going to forfeit Friday’s game.

The Tigers took advantage of no game last Friday to work internally on what they needed to do.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

Why not bigger surprise regarding Martin Truex Jr.?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Any chance Tony Stewart quietly plays out the string?

GODSPEAK: There has to be at least one more eruption. Just one more before he goes.

KEN’S CALL: Tony will go quietly. His evil twin “Anthony,” however, is always a different story.

Put a percentage on Truex’s chances of winning the Cup. GODSPEAK: I started out saying Martin Truex Jr. is the guy to beat and I’m sticking with it, so 80 percent.

KEN’S CALL: I’ll say 40 percent chance. A lot can go wrong, of course, but 40 is higher than I’d give anyone else right now.

Does Austin Dillon take advantage of squeaking through the elimination?

GODSPEAK: Maybe he took a lot of notes when teammate Ryan Newman got to the NASCAR final four in 2014.

KEN’S CALL: Sure, but only for four more weeks. I don’t see him making another cut.

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar

Two reasons come to mind. First, though he’s never entered any season as a championship favorite, he’s been a well-known commodity for a decade or so. Also, he had his best-ever Cup season last year, so there was some recent performance pointing to this possibility. Still, if you consider NASCAR history, he’s taken quite a leap in 2016.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM DOVER

You did research?

Sure did, and regarding past Cup champs who didn’t exactly bring a championship pedigree to the table beforehand, there’s a short “modern era” list. It starts with Benny Parsons in 1973, who was in his fourth full-time season and had just one career victory before that year. In ’92, Alan Kulwicki was in his sixth full year and had just three career wins. Jeff Gordon (1995, his third year), Matt Kenseth (2003, fourth year) and Kurt Busch (2004, fourth year) weren’t overly seasoned Cup vets, but had enough recent success to make their title runs less surprising.

Martin Truex Jr. is enjoying the ride, and this time the view included a scene from Dover’s Victory Lane.

Um … overlooking something?

DOVER SPEEDWAY/NIGEL KINRADE

1. Statement race

2. Christmas present

3. Points racing

Martin Truex Jr. was asked if winning Dover was a statement race for the No. 78 Toyota team. “We’re not messing around, I guess,” he said.

“I don’t know — what else can you say? We are here to get it done, and golly I’m telling you, just the best bunch of guys you could ever ask for.”

Kyle Larson called Austin Dillon’s advancement into Chase Round 2 “an early Christmas present” from Ganassi Racing. Dillon, Larson and Jamie McMurray were all near the cut line. When Larson and McMurray went down with problems, Dillon’s day got much easier.

Brad Keselowski made a textbook advancement into Chase Round 2 thanks to three straight top-five finishes in Round 1. “Consistency is just as important as winning in this format, and I think sometimes that gets lost,” said Keselowski, who drives the No. 2 Team Penske Ford.

3 THINGS TO WATCH

2. Relief for Stewart Yes, it was great that Tony Stewart made the Chase field after missing the first eight races of the season because of injury, but after finishing

IMAGES/ MARK WILSON

13th at Dover and missing the cut for Round 2, there was almost a sense of relief in the driver’s voice. He will retire after this season. “I’m pretty excited about our day,” he said. “Really proud of our team. We kept making it better all day. That is good as we had.”

3. Buescher watch Chris Buescher got into the Chase on a fluke win and exited after finishing six

laps down to the lead pack.

What will he do in the final seven races? “Nothing really changes,” he said. “We’ve got the opportunity to test a little bit more, and we still have the opportunity to take chances for the rest of the season, but I’m really proud of the guys for all the work this year. It’s unfortunate this is the end of our Chase.”

FEUD OF THE WEEK

Not even his high-level connections could help Kyle Busch keep up with “teammate” Martin Truex Jr. at Dover. GETTY

1. Gibbs angst?

Martin Truex Jr. and the No. 78 Furniture Row race team are first cousins to Joe Gibbs Racing and its four entries.

Funny thing. Truex has won three of the past five races and has a little something “extra” compared to the Gibbs cars. “We’ve got really fast cars; just missing the boat a little bit on something the No. 78 team has figured out,” said Gibbs driver Kyle Busch, who finished a distant second at Dover.

Oh, yeah, that’s right. There are six races and two more eliminations before we should really start talking about Truex’s potential place in history. But boy, oh, boy, as they say, he’s really haulin’ the mail right now.

DARK HORSE: Kasey Kahne DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Keselowski fires a warning shot by winning Charlotte to open Chase Round 2.

Larson

McMurray

JAMIE MCMURRAY VS. KYLE LARSON: This is not a feud, but a misery-lovescompany deal. With one 400-lap race, both Ganassi Racing Chase entries were wiped from the playoffs.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: No one thought both these drivers would miss Round 2, but each had issues. “Very unfortunate,” McMurray said. “It is just the way it goes.”

DID YOU KNOW? The “other” race in Charlotte, like the marquee 600-

miler in May, also dates back to 1960. Its first winner Serving Southwest Iowa since 1956 was a North Carolinian named Alfred Bruce Thompson, who got the final two of his 20 career wins in 1960.

Twenty wins and you don’t recognize the name? Maybe because he was “formally” known as Speedy Thompson.

Southwest Valley coach Anthony Donahoo watches his team during the Timberwolves’ game against Mount Ayr earlier this season. Southwest Valley is 4-2 overall and 3-1 in Class A District 5 heading into Friday’s game against district leader and third-ranked St. Albert

SW VALLEY: CONT. FROM | 7A

“The positivity — we were never picked up last year,” said senior Scott Palmer.

“We were just brought down the whole time. We get picked up a lot this year.”

What Donahoo has done to change the culture is catching on in the stands.

“Our parents even notice it on the field,” Palmer said.

“We’re just positive. We have a way better attitude.

We give up a touchdown and it doesn’t affect us like last year. Last year, we would’ve given up.”

Continuity among the 47 members has improved greatly this season.

“We’re more of a team this year,” Bayles said. “Last year we’d get down, they’d score a touchdown and we’d just get mad at each other, blame each other. There would be cussing and screaming on the field between our own teammates.”

Donahoo walked into a program that had talent.

But it was about changing the negative mindset that had permeated the program in recent years.

“Seeing some film from last year, I knew I had some athletes,” Donahoo said.

“They just needed the right direction. I knew it was going to be a test, but changing the culture was first.”

That started with summer conditioning.

“We did that in June, making the kids buy in, that character comes first and everything else follows character,” Donahoo said. “Once they bought into that, everything else fell in.”

The overhaul of the program progressed through those workouts on the hot days of June, July and August.

“Most of us have been here sine June, lifting and getting stronger and getting faster and working on getting rid of that summer where you get slow and fat,” Bayless said.

As much as the team has continuity now, it didn’t come right away.

“It took time,” said senior Joey Kernen. “It took a lot of time. At the beginning of June we were not in-sync.”

The change in mindset shows on Friday night, no matter who the Timberwolves are lined up against.

“The past years, we’d go into a game and we were already like “oh we’re going to lose,” Kernen said. “This year it’s like, we’ll face any teams and we still have that confidence that we need

placed 34th out of 44 teams.

The women placed 38th out of 39 teams.

SWCC will be in action this Saturday at the BCU Invitational hosted by Briar Cliff University in McCook

in the fourth quarter when we’re down. Nothing changes, We just keep doing what we do, driving the ball down the field.”

Donahoo’s installed ideas that have unified the entire program, all the way down to the junior-padded level. All levels run the same offense.

Having that continuity program wide not only serves the Timberwolves this season, but will do so in years to come.

The junior padded programs are running the same offense, the junior high. It’s a district wide thing,” Donahoo said. “I’m starting looking forward to not just this year and next year, but five, six, seven years down the road, getting some of those kids that have been running my program. We’re looking for success for the long haul, not just this year.”

The commitment from the lower levels will help ensure the varsity high school program flourishes in years to come.

“We brought all the coaches from junior padded up in July. We brought them together. They were all super excited about running one thing as a program,” Donahoo said. “They’ve bought in too, which has made everything super easy. It starts at the little kid level, them having fun. The coaches do a great job. I knew it started with the junior padded.

Thats how I’m going to have long term success. It’s easy come in with some of these athletes and have a good year. It’s going to be years five, six, seven that we’re able to do this.”

In the short term, the Timberwolves are enjoying a modicum of success they haven’t seen in a long time.

Heading into Friday’s game against district leader St. Albert, the playoffs are still a possibility for the Timberwolves, who are 4-2 overall and 3-1 in the district. ”I knew we’d have success. I didn’t want to put it in wins and losses. I told our AD (Jason Wetzel) at the beginning of the year. When he said what are your goals?

I told him I want to have a chance at the end of the season,” Donahoo said. “We’re going to have a chance at the playoffs if we keep playing the football that we’re playing. In years past we were out of it early. I didn’t want to be out of it early. At 4-2, we’re talking about the playoffs.

“That’s fun.”

Real Estate Report FALL COOKING The grilling and cold sandwich season is ending. Here are some cooking tips to save energy. Using glass or ceramic pans in the oven will let you reduce the oven temperature 25 degrees. Using toaster ovens, crockpots and microwaves use less energy than the stove or oven.

Keeping the inside of your microwave clean will cook your food more efficiently. It takes less energy to heat smaller pans. Using lids helps the food cook quicker by keeping steam in the pot. Clean burner pans reflect heat back up to pots. Don’t pre-heat your oven unless you’re cooking bread or pastries. Don’t peek. You lose heat every time you open the door or lift the lid. Placing foil on oven shelves blocks heat and costs money.

See the light: Get the real facts about LED bulbs (BPT) – Light-emitting diode (LED) light bulbs have transformed home lighting since coming on the market.

Despite proven benefits that far outweigh older lighting options, like incandescent and compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs, many people remain hesitant to make the switch.

It’s time to finally dispel some common LED myths and get the real facts about these light bulbs so you can choose the best lighting for your home.

en’t worth the cost.

Fact: LED light bulbs are now only a few dollars more than ordinary light bulbs; significant research and development from manufacturers like Philips Lighting has made LED light bulbs more affordable.

Although the initial cost of an LED may be slightly higher than an incandescent light bulb, making the switch to LED lighting provides significant long-term savings.

For example, the Philips A19 LED with a warm glow dimming effect has an average Myth: LED light bulbs ar- lifetime of 25,000 hours. This

means if you have a light bulb on for three hours per day, then it will be 20 years before you need to change it.

Plus, LEDs use up to 90 percent less energy than ordinary light bulbs; replacing incandescent bulbs with LED lighting will reduce your energy bill.

Myth: LED light bulbs are not bright enough.

Fact: LEDs can emit the same amount of light as incandescent bulbs while using far less energy. Many consumers look at the wattage of a light bulb to determine

its level of brightness, but wattage only measures how much energy a bulb uses.

Light levels are measured in lumens. When you compare lumens, a 9.5-watt Philips LED bulb with a warm glow effect is as bright as a 60-watt incandescent bulb - both emit approximately 800 lumens.

Myth: LED light bulbs need time to warm up.

Fact: It’s a big misunderstanding that LED bulbs need time to warm up before they reach full brightness.

While fluorescent or CFL

bulbs come on slowly, LEDs are “instantly on” and immediately shine with their full light output.

Myth: LED lighting can’t be controlled and dimmed.

Fact: Unlike many CFL bulbs, most LED light bulbs are designed to easily dim.

Dimmable LEDs can provide the right lighting for any mood or room in your home.

For instance, the warm glow dimmable light effect in the Philips A19 LED allows light levels to gradually go from everyday functional lighting to a cozy, relaxing

Top 5 secrets from professionals on home renovation

(BPT) – When asked what kind of upgrades homeowners would like to make in their home, most have a similar wish list that includes features like marble or granite counter tops, an open

concept kitchen, a remodeled bathroom and a deck.

There are plenty of good reasons why people opt for these features. They’re beautiful, create a certain atmosphere, and who doesn’t

want to come home to a stylish kitchen and relax on their deck? But experienced homeowners will tell you, it’s not just these big showy upgrades that are important. Often, it’s the unseen upgrades you might not be immediately aware of that really make a difference and impact the quality of life in your home. It’s especially important to remind firsttime homeowners of these five considerations to keep in mind when building or renovating.

Privacy is key. With televisions, computers, music and lively conversation, even a small family can make a lot of noise. Bring quiet to the home with the right kind of

drywall. SilentFX QuickCut

by CertainTeed Gypsum is a revolutionary type of drywall specifically designed to dampen noise and prevent sound from carrying from room to room.

Upgrade the roof. It might cost more, but investing in a high quality roof has two main advantages. One being, it will last longer, so you won’t have to face the expense of re-roofing in another 15 or 20 years. The second is that if you go to sell, having a high quality roof that will last years - even decades - will equate to a better resale value.

Improve indoor air quality. Adding plants and opening windows are two of the easiest ways to improve the

indoor air quality of your home. However, there are things you can do in the building process as well. One of these is to install a drywall, such as AirRenew, which is a specialty drywall product designed to actively clean formaldehyde and other volatile chemicals from the air.

Invest in a new furnace. If you find yourself taking too many days off work to meet the furnace repairman, it might be time to have a new furnace installed. Not only do the modern, energy efficient furnaces save as much as $200 a year, but they’re quieter, require less maintenance and, should you go to sell, are a huge perk to potential home buyers.

Fill the cavities between

the walls. No matter what climate zone you live in, insulation is incredibly important.

There are many types of insulation out there, so be sure to talk to your contractor or builder about what kind is best for the area where you live. The right kind and thickness will save you money on both heating and cooling bills.

These upgrades may not wow your guests or be the envy of your neighbors, but they will certainly make an enormous difference in your day-to-day living and contribute to the overall comfort of your house.

5 ways tech can help you amp up your game-day entertaining

(BPT) – Many Americans are avid sports fans, and technology has made it easier than ever for them to enjoy their favorite sporting events in the comfort of their own home. From annual events like January’s Big Game and month-long college basketball tourna-

ments, to international competitions that draw athletes and audiences from around the world, Americans love to gather together to celebrate their favorite sporting events.

If you are hosting the ultimate game-viewing party, here are five technology de-

vices to outfit your home: * Sports apps. Leagues and sporting events of virtually every kind have free apps you can use to keep up on what’s happening with your favorite teams and athletes. * Portable projector. You can take advantage of good weather by taking the view-

ing party outdoors with a portable projector. The lightweight “Minibeam” LED projector from LG, for example, is easily transportable, weighing only 1.43 pounds with an embedded battery that provides up to 2.5 hours of run time, eliminating the need to plug in every time you use the device. Bluetooth connectivity means it can connect and share content between Bluetooth-enabled devices while delivering high-definition picture quality that’s clear and bright with sharp contrast and rich blacks. It can also stream content directly from premium content providers like Netflix, YouTube and Hulu, among others. * Wireless speakers. Pick up on every cheer and capture the emotion in every winner’s voice when you use wireless speakers arranged to optimize sound. Wireless

speakers like Music Flow can connect to your TV, surround sound system and even your mobile devices to ensure no one misses a moment of their favorite sporting events. * Fan Fridge. Let your guests help themselves!

Many LG refrigerators feature a “door-in-door” compartment, which makes it easier for your fellow fans to quickly and easily access must-have snacks stored in the interior door compartment. Just stock the compartment with their favorites, and they can access the food and drink they want with a touch of a button - and without ever having to open the entire refrigerator. Not only is this convenient, but opening just this section of the fridge will keep cold air in to help food stay fresher for longer - most useful

during those hot summer days to prevent cold air escaping from where it matters most. * A smart cooler. If you’ve decided to move your sports celebration outdoors, you’ll need a way to keep beverages and snacks cool and fresh.

A smart cooler can do the trick, and some of them will even charge your cell phone.

From smart coolers that are equipped with a solar panel that can charge small mobile devices, to ones that have removable blenders and built-in Bluetooth speakers, or interior lights that make night-game snacking a cinch, today’s smart coolers are a far cry from the Styrofoam boxes of your childhood!
