After nearly four decades spent in service to Southwestern Community College (SWCC), Board Chairman Ken Rech, of Red Oak, retired from the college’s board of trustees in September.

Rech’s 37 years have encompassed the early years

of the community college’s development all the way through to the EF2 tornado that struck the campus in 2012 and all the development beyond.

SWCC was officially established in 1966. Rech joined the board in 1980.

“I was appointed to fill in a resignation in our area,” said Rech, “because the lady was moving out of town. I owned a retail store — a decorating center. And prior to that, I taught school and was also in the construction world for about 10 years.

“I just had an interest in the community college,” said Rech, “because it was so new to the whole area.”

A lot has changed on

campus since Rech first joined the board. Not just the buildings on and off campus, but the college’s programs as well.

“When I went on to the board,” said Rech, “as you looked at the college campus, there was the administration building, the athletic

facility, the academic center, the maintenance buildings, two of the old dorms and the tech building. And, at that point, that was the gist of it. The rest of SWCC operated in storefronts throughout the whole district.

“And in 1980, computers were just beginning to show up,” said Rech. “A computer was a room-full — larger than your house.”

SWCC now offers areas of study in both the arts and sciences and career and technical education, including degree options ranging from welding to graphic design. The college’s enrollment is around 1,700 RECH | 2A

Volunteers are needed for the Read, Enjoy And Develop Success (READS) program for the 2017-18 school year at Creston Community Elementary School.

READS is a sponsored program by Creston Community and St. Malachy schools in collaboration with Dollars for Scholars educational support.

“Students can’t be successful educationally if they don’t develop good reading skills early on,” said Chris Mansour, program director.

“READS pairs them with a reading buddy to improve their reading skills, but also

to have an extra caring adult in their life who is a positive influence.”

Ninety-five volunteers are needed in total, but Mansour said at this point, she still needs 40-plus volunteers to ensure the READS program meets its goal of giving each first-grade student a one-to-one reading buddy.

Reading times are available 2:30 to 3 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week. Each volunteer picks one day of the week to go read with his or her reading buddy for 30 minutes.

All of the St. Malachy slots are filled already, leaving open slots at Creston READS | 2A

Iowa’s union elections a major test after bargaining law DES MOINES (AP) — A round of elections in Iowa this month will ask thousands of public sector workers whether they want to dismantle their unions, marking another test of labor strength in Iowa since passage of a law that eliminated most of their collective bargaining rights.

The elections, scheduled over a two-week period beginning Tuesday, will involve about 34,000 workers employed in city and county government, education, law enforcement and other areas. Their votes via phone

or website will determine the future of more than 475 bargaining units, making up a significant percentage of Iowa’s roughly 1,200 units that represent about 120,000 public workers.

Jesse Case, the top official for Teamsters Local 238, said about 2,200 of the unit’s 4,000 public workers are eligible to vote this month.

Case said the unit, which includes law enforcement officers, educators and county road crews, wants to send a message that public unions UNION | 2A

students.

“One thing that really stood out was the growth in the ‘80s, when all of the sudden we saw high schoolers being able to take credit hours,” said Rech. “And they basically were furnished by the college, and there was extreme growth and a look at how this was all going to work out. And now just about every high schooler in the district has the opportunity to take credit hours.

“So, as the campus grew,” Rech continued, “which included the new nursing building, an addition to the tech building, an adaptation to the farm, the partnership between the city, YMCA and college at the new YMCA, the three great big new dorms, the permanent campus in Red Oak, in Osceola — there’s just been a huge investment of capital in the campus facilities. And that was kind of exciting for me, having spent a majority of my time in construction.

The program begins the first week of November, with the first day being Nov. 6. Volunteers are required to have a background check performed and must go through a training session to teach them reading strategies used by the school.

remain strong.

“Their vote in the next two weeks is the first step in fighting back,” he said.

The votes are required under a provision of a collective bargaining law approved in February by the Legislature’s Republican majority. Unions now must hold so-called recertification elections before each new contract, which happens every few years depending on the unit.

Union leaders contend the new requirements are intended to weaken workers’ rights, noting those who don’t participate are counted as no votes and that if a unit loses recertification, workers can’t unionize again for two years.

GOP lawmakers argued the law and its various provisions would ensure greater accountability from unions.

Republican Sen. Jason Schultz said many public workers didn’t have a role in forming unions decades ago and that the recertification process allowed them to gain control.

“The goal wasn’t to weaken unions, it was to give workers a voice,” said Schultz, who leads a Senate labor committee and helped

Rech has served as chairman of the SWCC Board of Trustees for the past five years.

“And I was blessed with

They came with the outlook and the foresight to help the college and the district.”

And according to Rech, these board members have made his life significantly easier than in years past.

“In the last 12 or 15 years, the administration in the college has been so good that it made my job so easy,” said Rech. “I mean Dr. Crittenden, Tom Lesan, Bill Taylor — that whole group are just on top of it. They are thought of so well statewide that they’re just really a resource for that board.

“We’ve had some bouncy and hilly roads, but it’s been a great time,” Rech summarized. “A great opportunity to intermingle with people, and to be able to search out their intelligence and use it.

It’s been a wonderful experience.”

But according to Rech, the highlight for him each year is always the same.

“The most memorable thing is every spring — graduation,” said Rech.

“The gleam in the eye, the smile, the accomplishment of so many students — they may have been a first-generation student, they may have just changed careers,

they may have even been forced to change careers.

I mean, you’re looking at 250 people in Creston that are going to be looking at changing careers with that (Ferrara) closure. But it’s always the same.”

Moving forward, Rech sees SWCC as an increasingly viable option for students looking to advance their education at a reasonable cost. He believes SWCC to be well-positioned in the education sector’s changing demographics.

“The student pool is changing,” said Rech. “And the college is working harder to address that, and offer students what they need to continue their careers.”

Outside of his service to the SWCC Board of Trustees, Rech has been retired from Oak View Construction for about five years.

In his free time, Rech enjoys playing golf, spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and traveling, which he hopes to do more of in the future.

“And just really trying to enjoy life a little bit more right now,” said Rech.

write the collective bargaining law. “To let them say, ‘Yes, we want the union, or not.’ And to vote on which representation they would like to have.”

Since Wisconsin enacted a similar law in 2011, membership in both public and private unions has dropped.

Tammy Wawro, president of the Iowa State Education Association, helped with outreach last month when more than 1,100 public school and community college workers voted overwhelmingly to stay unionized.

Speaking as she drove to a meeting with educators in southeast Iowa, Wawro noted that despite the winning vote, the election had eaten up time and money that could have been focused on other matters.

“They’re busy,” she said of teachers who make up many of the 34,000 school employees represented by the association. “They just want to work on what they need to work on to get ready the next day for their kids. And instead, this law has caused a disruption.”

Danny Homan, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Iowa Council 61, said he’s concerned about the logistics of the elections, which will be held online and by

of the elections. He noted his office has traveled across the state over several months to ensure workers and employers know about the elections. He said the process will be efficient, fair and transparent, and people will have a chance after elections to present any objections about the results.

“We are the vote counters. We have no dog in this fight,” he said. “We have no interest if these all pass.

We have no interest if these all fail, or anywhere in between.”

Other issues remain unclear.

Both ISEA and AFSCME have filed lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the collective bargaining law, and those cases are pending.

Separately, union leaders have questioned the Public Employment Relations Board’s interpretation that an existing worker contract becomes void if a union local doesn’t win recertification. The issue could lead to additional legal challenges, since such a contract is supposed to be in effect for several more months.

“AS THE campus continued to grow, the programs were being developed according to the revolving needs of students, and where their career opportunities were.”

“They’ve been so dedicated to the students,” said Rech, “and didn’t come with a particular axe to grind like some board members do.

phone through a third-party vendor. The recertification elections in September were by mail-in ballot.

Homan, whose union is the state’s largest with roughly 40,000 members, suggested hypothetical situations where someone could fraudulently vote by logging in on behalf of a worker.

“Where’s the check and balance that is supposed to be there to mean that these elections are run with a sense of integrity?” he asked.

The vendor, California-based Everyone Counts, highlights on its website its elections technology and work for government agencies in several states. A company spokesman said via email that it does not comment on its clients or its elections. He directed inquiries to the Iowa Public Employment Relations Board, which oversees bargaining units and selected the company through a bidding process.

Board chairman Mike Cormack said the electronic voting method made sense because of the large scope

In 20 years, we’ve seen a lot of unknown artists that are extremely talented, visit our little operation, and we are always completely enthralled with the terrific live concerts they do for us.

We call it mostly old-time music so as to not confuse anyone with what we offer, but country music, bluegrass music, folk music, even rag-time music is popular at our little theater, so we invite anyone who has ever heard these genres of music to come see what we are doing. Each and every concert is an ongoing benefit show for the theater itself. And, when enough folks who want to see live entertainment are willing to pay the $7 fee to get in, it also makes it possible for us to pay the entertainers, which in itself is unusual these days.”

We also have a kind of regular cast that help us out, Rick and Harriette Andersen are backing artists. Rick is a wit of sorts and is constantly making the audience laugh. David Green is an early representative of mountain and bluegrass music, and is with us for many of our shows. We only have two shows left for the season, Oct. 13, featuring the Jacob Austin Band, and Oct. 27, featuring Dale Eichor, the engaging and pleasant entertainer from KWMT Fort Dodge Radio. He normally sells out, as does the Jacob Austin Band. Reserved seats are easy to arrange, simply call 712-762-4363 to save the best seat in the house.”

Enjoy music, support Oak Tree in Anita ANITA – The Oak Tree Performance Center, a 501(c)3 nonprofit theater, is nearing the end of its season. With only two shows left for the season, pass holders and the public at large, Oct. 13 is going to be one of their very special concerts according to Sheila Everhart who manages the theater with her husband Bob. “We’ve always tried to help gifted music makers along on their road in life,” Sheila said, “it’s been Bob’s purpose in life. He has been helping dynamic and wholesome entertainers along the way by not only providing large festivals, one for the past 42 years, but also a regular theater seating style performance center for concerts. It’s a rare situation.

There are a lot of opera houses being restored in Iowa, we owned the opera house in Walnut for a number of years, but we could never make a concert of old-time music profitable.

After Bob restored the old theater in Anita back to a useful life, over the past 20 years, we’ve both been working hard to keep the music wholesome, live and entertaining. Sometimes we don’t make a profit, but we don’t lose either, so for our purposes, it’s still a

HOROSCOPE For Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)You will need extra diplomacy and patience when dealing with others today because of the planetary activity. Yes, it’s a crunchy day. Authority figures might be difficult. And so it goes.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Money problems might loom today. Just cope as best you can. Let’s face it - there’s always too much month left at the end of the money, isn’t there?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)You might feel a bit lonely or cut off from others today.

Don’t worry, because this is just a passing thing. A lot of people feel this way today.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Relationships with family members might be a bit strained today. This will pass quickly. Continue with plans to make your home look more attractive, because you will be entertaining soon!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might have difficulty dealing with a female friend or acquaintance today. This is natural because we don’t all see things in the same light.

Don’t worry about this.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22)This is a poor day to ask authority figures for permission or approval, because they won’t be cooperative.

Their response will be “Talk to the hand.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Avoid depressing discussions about politics, religion or racial issues today, because they will be anti-productive. Some days you can get things done, and some days you can’t.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)This is a poor day to ask for a loan or a mortgage, or to make an important decision about inheritances or shared property. Wait until Thursday for better success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might find it difficult to deal with supervisors and bosses at work today. Don’t ask for favors or permission.

Postpone this for a few days.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Children might be an increased responsibility today. (Oh well.) Remind yourself that this just goes

with the territory. Even social diversions will feel like obligations.

PISCES(Feb. 19 to March 20)Talking to an older family member may be difficult today. Just be patient and gracious. Keep things light. (Old age is not for sissies.)

YOU BORN TODAY You are friendly, calm, capable and confident. You will have a great zest for life and want to nurture the happiness and

Expect increased popularity and the warm rekindling of old friendships.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about cars that hog the road and endanger bicycle riders. – Heloise “Dear Heloise: Today, while my biking group was in our bike lane, a driver drove so close that she knocked a rider off the bike. Thank heavens he had his helmet on! She claimed it was an accident, that she didn’t see him, but with nine of us in colorful outfits, in a single line, we’re hard to miss. This isn’t the first time it’s happened.

“I know we drive slower than cars because we’re pedaling, but please stay out of our lane, and we’ll do our best to stay away from yours. We have as much right to be on the road as a car, and many of us are going as fast as we can while trying to build up endurance for competitions.” – Terry V., Austin, Texas SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com FAST FACTS Dear Readers: When you have empty tissue boxes, don’t throw them away.

First, if you or your chil-

dren want to decorate them, it can be a lot of fun. Then you can use them for other things, such as: * In the kitchen – use to store plastic grocery bags. * In the bathroom – use to store cotton balls or makeup-remover pads. * Remove the entire top and store cat toys for Fluffy. * Use one to store receipts or coupons. * Use as a trash collector in your car. – Heloise THE WEDDING GIFT Dear Heloise: I enjoy your column with its many hints in the Dayton (Ohio) Daily News. Today, however, I have a hint for you: I was wrapping a wedding gift of flatware to help complete the couple’s dinnerware. I was looking for something to cushion the pieces in the package, so I wrapped each piece in a clean dust rag that the bride can use, instead of tissue paper that would get thrown out. – Jane A., Beavercreek, Ohio REFRIGERATION OF FOOD Dear Readers: Here are two questions related to refrigerating food: “How long can I keep cooked chicken in my refrigerator?” – Sadie D., Inkster, Mich.

“How long will bacon and sausage stay fresh in my refrigerator?” – Patsy L., Dagger Falls, Idaho Sadie, cooked chicken will keep well for three to four days in a refrigerator and two to six months in a freezer.

Patsy, bacon will stay fresh enough to eat for seven days in the refrigerator and one month in the freezer.

Sausage usually will keep for one to two days in the refrigerator, and one to two months in the freezer. – Heloise MAKE ROOM IN YOUR LIFE Dear Heloise: So many young people are under the misconception that as they move through life, they’ll make more money and they’ll be happy because they won’t have any worries.

That type of thinking leads to disappointment. Go after the dream, not the money.

Don’t base your life strictly on how much money you can make. A soul-crushing career will only make you miserable. You’ll work a long time, so make sure that it’s something you really enjoy doing, then do the best work you can. – Margaret B., Inglewood, Calif. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

SHOCK AND AWE

CNA photo by KALEB CARTER

Southwest Valley’s defensive linemen celebrate immediately after Jacob Webb’s (56) sack of St. Albert quarterback Kyle Barnes that ended Southwest Valley’s victory over Class A top-ranked St. Albert. Also celebrating are Brett Schafroth (52), Hunter Poston (58) and Jace Petersen (3).

n Southwest Valley

takes down top-ranked St. Albert to take control of Class A District 7

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

COUNCIL BLUFFS — There was no doubting whose hands the ball was going to be in during the final moments of Southwest Valley’s monumental 8-7 road victory over Class A top-ranked St. Albert.

Southwest Valley’s final drive began down 7-0 with just over two minutes on the clock in the fourth quarter on St. Albert’s 41-yard line after forcing the Falcons to punt from their own end zone.

Cobb had found Grant Maurer for a completion right by the Timberwolves sideline for a first down, and then a pass to Addison Bull fell just out of his grasp.

Several runs, including a Cobb quarterback sneak on fourth and 1 from the 25 yard-line, and a scramble for a first down from Cobb to the 6-yard line, and out of bounds, had Southwest Valley on the brink of scoring with less than a minute remaining.

Final sequence A run up the middle went for 3 yards, and another went for 1 as the clock wound down under 30 seconds.

Cobb calmly took the next play for a touchdown, getting into the end zone thanks to a push from the offensive line and a strenuous effort, barely squeaking across the plane with 6.9 seconds remaining.

Had he not scored, the clock would have run out.

St. Albert’s coaching staff was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the aftermath, as they seemingly had tried to call timeout before the play. The ball for the 2-pt. conversion was

placed at the 1 1/2 yard line.

“Right at 7-0 during the half, I told the coaches, I said ‘me personally as the head coach, we’re going for two,’” Southwest Valley head coach Anthony Donahoo said.

Donahoo wanted a QB sweep to the left in the huddle after the touchdown, but Cobb wanted a read play.

“I told Chance, ‘It’s your call in the huddle,’” Donahoo said. “He chose, he wanted the ball, which is exactly what I wanted.”

“There really was no read on that one. I was keeping it,” Cobb said.

Cobb pounded the ball into the end zone, with one side official running in to signal the score as the Southwest Valley fans went into a frenzy.

After the kickoff, St. Albert took over from its own 15-yard line.

Quarterback Kyle Barnes — a top flight athlete that had one of the best overall quarterback passer ratings in the state coming in and who tossed his only interception of the season thus far into the hands of Aaron Armstrong in the second quarter — was sacked by Timberwolves down lineman Jacob Webb to end the game.

It was a fitting end on a night where Southwest Valley controlled the line of scrimmage, and that started with the defensive line. Jacob Webb, Brett Schafroth, Logan Calkins and Chance Tepeol were just a few of the Timberwolf linemen to ravage the backfield.

Southwest Valley’s players flooded the field after the sack, jumping for joy as the hundreds of fans who made the hour-plus drive from the Corning and Villisca area to Council Bluffs lit up the night with a cacophonous roar.

Before the ‘awe’ After the handshake line, Timberwolves players, namely upperclassmen, stood

around in shock of sorts, tears in the eyes of many.

The impact of what they had just done floored more than a few of them.

The message was loud and clear in the Timberwolves’ postgame huddle, as an emotional Donahoo’s voice cracked while he expressed his pride to his team.

“You trusted me. I told you something special was about to happen. Great job this week. Great job putting your heart into it, buying into each other. You bought into each other, you did it. You believed in each other. You believed to the end.”

It didn’t look so promising at the start of the game.

The prospect of inclement weather forced the start time up to 5 p.m., and Class A’s number one team seemed unfazed.

Short field position led to a fourth and 1 pass from Barnes to Blake Rallis for a 30-yard score on busted coverage for an early 7-0 lead for the Falcons less than three minutes into the game.

Both teams tried to play the field position game, but it was Southwest Valley that found more consistency in its ground attack.

Jace Petersen racked up several tough runs to move the chains in the first half, as did Cobb and Armstrong.

Petersen had 62 first-half rushing yards on 10 carries, including several where it took four of five Falcons to bring him down.

Southwest Valley outgained St. Albert 110-61 in the first half alone and 211134 on the game.

A 40-plus yard Addison Bull field goal attempt fell short in Southwest Valley’s best scoring chance of the first half.

More field position struggles characterized the early portion of the second half, as the Timberwolves defensive line refused to allow St. Albert to pick up good yardage

Cobb scored the conversion as well, ending a 41-yard drive that started with just over 2:00 remaining.

on first and second down.

Repeated poor snaps from the St. Albert center in the wet conditions made moving the ball even more hard for the Falcons.

Southwest Valley moved the ball inside St. Albert territory with under five minutes left in the game on a short dump pass from Cobb to Tallen Myers (another Timberwolf who came up big on the defensive line).

Despite punting the ball again, Bull had placed the punt inside St. Albert’s 10yard line.

Unwilling to take chances with poor shotgun snaps, St. Albert went under center, and ran the ball three straight times up the middle.

Each time, the Falcons were stopped for short yardage. Southwest Valley defensive linemen got hands on the Falcon ball-carriers to impede their progress in each instance.

The Timberwolves retook possession after a punt for what turned out to be the game’s winning drive.

“We’re just out here to prove we’re contenders,” Cobb said. “We’re going for a state title. We want to hoist that trophy.”

The win is certainly as big as anything that Southwest Valley had accomplished since combining Corning and Villisca school districts, and that includes individual state qualifiers and a run to the district basketball final last winter/spring.

“This is that litmus test that I talked about that we wanted to be judged against the best,” Donahoo said. “I think we came out and our motto this week was ‘shock and awe’ and we did that.”

UP NEXT — Southwest Valley (7-0, 5-0) plays at Southeast Warren next Friday (4-3, 2-3). The Warhawks are coming off a 12-6 loss to Nodaway Valley.

Carter-Blum combine for 322 rushing yards ■

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

It wasn’t anything fancy.

Running mostly between the tackles on a wet Panther Field, the Glenwood Rams pounded out 443 yards on 56 carries from scrimmage in defeating Creston/O-M Friday, 49-13.

Junior fullback Noah Carter rumbled through the Panther defense for 170 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries. Quarterback Andrew Blum kept it 23 times for 152 yards and one rushing touchdown. He also completed a touchdown pass to Cody Buresh.

The Rams played ball control, churning out 476 total yards and 20 first downs while limiting the Panthers to 122 yards and seven first downs.

Panther tailback Mitchel Swank managed to dent the Rams defense for 89 yards

in 19 carries. Creston/O-M got on the scoreboard twice through the air, however.

With starting quarterback Kylan Smallwood banged up from one of several sacks by the Rams defensive front, sophomore Eli Loudon came in and tossed a 63-yard touchdown pass to Michael Scherer with 1:36 left in the first half, cutting Glenwood’s lead to 29-6 at the break.

Smallwood came back in and fired his own TD pass to Scherer on the same slantand-go pattern covering 50 yards in the third quarter.

Outside linebacker Rylan Luther led the defense with three solo stops and 12 assisted tackles. Inside linebacker Kolby Tomas had one solo Luther and nine assisted tackles. Lineman Blake Sevier had two stops for no gain among seven assisted tackles.

In the end, it was just too much physicality in the Rams’ formidable offensive and defensive lines, and the hard running of the 205-pound Carter and the 6-4, 200-pound Blum at quarterback.

“They are a really good football team,” Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison said. “Up front they are as good as we’ve seen.

Their nose, number 69 (allstater Caleb Sanders) is as good as it gets. That’s tough when you have a player that good who can create havoc with an offensive line.”

Glenwood coach Cory Faust said his secondary has some things to “clean up” in regards to the two Panther TD bombs, but overall saw good things from his team that remains firmly entrenched in the playoff race.

“We have some good linemen, as does Creston,” said Faust, a Greenfield native.

“Our depth, we feel like, is really good across the front.

We play two guys both ways up front. Caleb Sanders is a

Mustang football Senior Night moved to Monday game Murray’s Senior Night game has been moved to Monday on account of Friday’s postponement due to weather.

Nodaway Valley 12, Southeast Warren 6 GREENFIELD — Looking at the final three games on previously winless Nodaway Valley’s schedule, a game against 4-2 Southeast Warren was probably not a good opportunity for a win in the minds of many fans.

But forget that, because Nodaway Valley seized its first win since Sep. 16 of last year with a 12-6 win in sloppy, wet condtions Friday night.

“It’s good for the kids, good for the community, we all n e e d ed this,” Nodaway Valley c o a c h Ernst S t e v e Shantz said. “Seeing the look in the kids’ eyes, they’re excited. They’re playing together. They stepped up.”

No one was bigger than

sophomore Hunter Ernst, who hauled in catch and run from Spencer Lamb to even the score 6-6.

Later, Ernst intercepted and took Lamb to the house the winning score.

“It’s good for him. He’s a sophomore. He played last year a little cornerback,” Shantz said. “He’s a kid that sometimes makes mistakes and he gets down on himself but he’s coming back now. He’s maturing.

He’s getting better.”

The win came with remaining contests against Earlham (4-3, 3-2) and Martensdale-St. Marys (2-5, 1-4) coming up. The Blue Devils had not scored in Class A District 7 play before defeating Riverside 30-6 last week. Riverside owns a 41-7 victory over the Wolverines this season.

Bedford 28, East Union 8 AFTON — East Union’s offense could not get jumpstarted in a 28-8 loss that marked the Eag l e s ’ fourth straight loss after a 3-0 start.

B e d f o r d ’ s Weis Cooper Nally didn’t mind the slick playing surface, running for 192 yards and four touchdowns on 15 carries.

He accounted for all but 32 of the Bulldogs’ 248 yards of offense.

Alex Johnson, Chad McMillin and Jett Beemer tore up the Eagle backfield, combining for eight solo tackles for loss, includ-

ing six sacks. The trio also combined for 29.5 tackles, and Beemer intercepted a pass.

East Union scored on its first drive for an early 8-0 lead when Sanden Cheers found Dillon Weis on a 50-

Offensive firepower gives Stanton edge over Lenox

Tigers can’t stop big plays from Vikings n

By CARTER ECKL

CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

LENOX – Despite a weather delay, Stanton’s fourth down conversions and air attack were too much for Lenox Friday evening as the Vikings topped the Tigers 56-30.

Two crucial fourth down conversions went in favor of Stanton, both of which directly resulted in points for the Vikings.

On fourth-and-11 with the ball on Lenox’s 13-yard line, Vikings quarterback Keygan Day lobbed up a pass for Reece Anderson who pulled it down over a Tiger defender in the first quarter. That touchdown and two-point conversion gave Stanton a 16-8 lead, that it never surrendered.

The Vikings faced a fourth-and-8 late in the first half and again found the same connection between Day and Anderson for a 30-yard touchdown, catapulting Stanton to a 34-16 heading into the halftime locker room. Anderson finished the evening with three touchdowns on three catches for 63 yards.

Fast start

Lenox looked impressive early in the two halves and following the lightning delay. The Tigers jumped on the Vikings, forcing an interception and then a safety on Stanton’s first two drives of the game. Lenox capitalized on the safety, opening up an 8-0 lead in the first quarter after Colton Gordon returned the Vikings kickoff for a touchdown.

Coming out of halftime, Lenox marched right down the field putting together a 52-yard drive finished

by Gordon punching in a two-yard touchdown run, bringing Lenox within 12, 34-22.

Following a weather delay toward the end of the third quarter, Gordon ran 57 yards on the first play of

the Tigers drive for a score with a Carter Still 2-pt conversion cutting the Vikings lead to 10. Gordon, a sophomore, racked up 126 yards on 18 carries with two touchdowns.

But every time Lenox fought to bring the game within striking distance, the Vikings were able to pull away.

“It’s g o i n g to take effort,” said Lenox head c o a c h Matt Mal a u s k y . Malausky “Effort by the kids for the whole game.”

Stanton’s Day completed nine passes throughout the game resulting in 213 yards, averaging just under 24 yards per completion.

The other receiving threat was Drake Johnson, who tallied 128 yards on four catches with a touchdown.

Penalties also came back to bite the Tigers as laundry stalled drives and allowed the Vikings extra opportunities.

“I think our stats guy told us there at the end we had 16 penalties,” said Malausky. “That’s high for us.

That was definitely frustrating.”

Footing became an issue at times for Lenox quarterback Carter Still, who lost balance multiple times on scrambles out of the pocket. Still only managed 33 yards passing, completing just six of 15 pass attempts.

Lenox falls to 3-4, 2-2 with face another top district team in Bedford who will also come into that matchup undefeated in district play.

Trump criticizes GOP Sen. Corker; Corker fights back WASHINGTON (AP) — An enraged President Donald Trump and a prominent Republican senator who fears the country could be edging toward “chaos” engaged in an intense and vitriolic back-and-forth bashing on social media Sunday, a remarkable airing of their party’s profound rifts.

In political discourse that might once have seemed inconceivable, Sen. Bob Corker, the GOP’s foreign policy expert in the Senate, felt compelled to answer his president’s barbs by tweeting: “It’s a shame the White House has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning.”

In an interview Sunday with The New York Times, Corker said Trump could set the U.S. “on the path to World War III” with threats toward other countries.

C o r k e r Corker also said Trump acted as if he was on his old reality-TV show and that he concerned the senator, adding: “He would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation.”

Corker also said his concerns about Trump were shared by nearly every Senate Republican, the paper reported.

In a series of stinging tweets earlier in the day, Trump contended Corker: —Was “largely responsible for the horrendous” Iran nuclear deal, which the Democratic Obama administration negotiated and Corker considered badly flawed. The senator also

tried to require that President Barack Obama submit the accord to Congress for approval.

—Intended to obstruct the White House agenda, though he offered no evidence for saying he expected Corker “to be a negative voice.”

—”Begged” for Trump’s endorsement in his 2018 re-election, then opted against seeking a third term when Trump declined, showing the senator “didn’t have the guts to run.” The Associated Press reported that Trump, in a private meeting in September, had urged Corker to run. Corker’s chief of staff, Todd Womack, said Sunday that Trump called Corker last Monday to ask that he reconsider his decision to leave the Senate.

Trump “reaffirmed that he would have endorsed him, as he has said many times,” the aide said.

—Wanted to be secretary of state, and “I said ‘NO THANKS,’” said Trump, who picked Exxon Mobil’s Rex Tillerson for that Cabinet post. Corker, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, was mentioned as a possible pick after the election.

Trump added another tweet Sunday evening: “Bob Corker gave us the Iran Deal, & that’s about it. We need HealthCare, we need Tax Cuts/Reform, we need people that can get the job done!”

Corker always had been one to speak his mind, and even before Sunday’s verbal volleys, his new free agent status promised to make Trump and the party nervous. Already, there was the prospect of even more elbow room to say what he

wants and to vote how he pleases over the next 15 months as Trump and the party’s leaders on C a p i t o l Trump Hill struggle to get their agenda on track.

Corker’s comments drew a rebuke Monday from White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway, who said on “Fox & Friends” that she finds “tweets like this to be incredibly irresponsible.” She added that the president’s door is always open to speak with lawmakers privately.

Not long before Trump’s tweeting, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “it’s going to be fun to work” with Corker, “especially now that he’s not running for re-election, because I think it sort of unleashes him to do whatever — and say whatever — he wants to say.”

In his interview with the Times, Corker said: “Look, except for a few people, the vast majority of our caucus understands what we’re dealing with here,” adding that “of course they understand the volatility that we’re dealing with and the tremendous amount of work that it takes by people around him to keep him in the middle of the road.”

Corker delivered a rebuke of the Trump White House after the president’s tweets scoffing at Tillerson’s diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis with North Korea.

Corker said Tillerson, along with Defense Secretary Jim

Mattis and White House chief of staff John Kelly, are “those people that help separate our country from chaos.”

And Corker will be at the center of what may be a stormy debate over the future of the Iran agreement.

Trump’s hostility toward the deal has stoked concerns he’s aiming to dismantle the international accord despite Europe’s objections. Corker is opposed to scrapping the agreement outright.

“You can only tear these things up one time,” Corker said. “It might feel good for a second. But one of the things that’s important for us is to keep our allies with us, especially our Western allies.”

Corker is the latest Republican to face Trump’s wrath. The president in recent months has lit into Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., over the failure of the GOP to repeal and replace Obama’s health care law, and specifically targeted Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, for their opposition to GOP health legislation.

Corker, 65, announced last month that his second, sixyear term would be his last.

Corker in August delivered a blistering assessment of Trump in the wake of the president’s contentious remarks about the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Corker said Trump hasn’t “demonstrated that he understands the character of this nation.”

Trump fired back, tweeting that Corker’s comments were strange “considering that he is constantly asking me whether or not he should run again in ‘18.

Federal investigators returned to search the home of Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock on Sunday, while the officers who raided his hotel room door the night of the shooting gave a harrowing account of a barricaded door they had to bust through and the booby-traps they feared they’d find.

The search of Paddock’s three-bedroom house on a cul-de-sac in a retirement community in Mesquite, Nevada, was for “re-documenting and rechecking,” said local police Chief Troy Tanner, who accompanied FBI agents as they served the search warrant.

“I don’t think they are after anything specific,” Tanner told The Associated Press. “They’re going through everything and photographing everything again.”

The home was first searched Monday by Las Vegas police, who said they found 19 guns and several pounds of potentially explosive materials at the house that Paddock bought in early 2015.

The search came exactly a week after Paddock opened

crowd, killing 58 and injuring nearly 500.

Meanwhile, the makeshift SWAT team of police officers who made it to Paddock’s door at the Mandalay Bay hotel casino 12 minutes after the first shots were fired described how they got there and the “gun store” they found inside in an appearance on the CBS television program “60 Minutes” on Sunday night.

One of them said he hurried from police headquarters to the Mandalay Bay in cowboy boots and ditched them before ascending to the 32nd floor in search of the gunman.

“I just threw them in the casino,” Detective Matthew Donaldson said. “That was slowing’ me down. I was faster barefoot, and I was gonna be more effective barefoot.”

The officers said they heard reports of gunmen on both the 29th and 32nd floor, so “we’re thinking multiple shooters at this point,” Sgt. Joshua Bitsko said.

They zeroed in on the 32nd floor after Paddock unleashed about 200 rounds at a security guard outside his door.

stairwell door on that floor near Paddock’s room, they found he had taken special measures to slow them down.

“He had screwed shut the

al and some screws,” Bitsko said. “Cause he knew we’d be coming out that door to gain entry into his door. So he tried to barricade it as best he could.”
