New medical info apps promoted in local area

By BAILEY POOLMAN thew Epp, MD and director phones, medical identifica- health care will be across the CNA staff reporter

bpoolman@crestonnews.com

New applications by smart phone providers allow phone owners to update their medical history in case of a medical emergency.

The Apple iPhone app program, which is called Medical ID and is part of the automatic Health app, appears on a locked screen for any pre-hospital provider to check for information that would be otherwise unavailable.

“It’s patient-driven health information,” said Dr. Mat-

of emergency medicine at Greater Regional Medical Center.

“Medical history, medications, all e r g i e s , Epp surgical history, they are all input.

It’s best done in conjunction with nursing staff or a physician in the primary care setting, but basically family or patients can enter data into their own health history.”

On Android-system

tion apps, such as ICE - In Case of Emergency, can be found in Google Play.

These apps, according to Epp, are “extremely relevant.”

“Younger people will be more likely to use it for two reasons: their health information is less complicated, and it’s easier to start when you’re young,” Epp said.

“But, the people that make the most sense are elderly or out of town people. The more ubiquitous the health information is on simple devices like iPhones and smart phones, the better the

board.”

As of now, there is no one uniform application on all kinds of phones concerning medical health information, and Epp said that’s why medical personnel in the APPS | 2A

Nominations for Christmas baskets now being accepted

Forget the throwing stars and nunchucks.

For a group of self-titled “ninjas” at Creston High School, the most powerful weapons they’re using in the fight against computer malfunctions and tech issues are their brains.

Known as the Panther Tech Ninjas, the squad of 11 computer-savvy students is now a go-to resource for technology assistance in Creston’s classrooms.

The group formed this fall in the midst of a technology initiative that has provided a Chromebook to each high school student and opened two 21st century classrooms in conjunction with Green Hills Area Education Agency.

Bill Messerole, Creston High School Principal, said the idea came after touring a school in Council Bluffs that had a similar squad.

Elections start at noon

Creston senior and tech ninja Eian Barnett loads Raspberry Pi, a credit card-size computer, in the Creston High School 21st-century classroom. Barnett and his fellow “ninjas” have been busy learning how to work the new technology in the rooms, as well as performing maintenance on Creston’s new Chromebooks.

Teri Keeler, the tech squad’s adviser, said faculty then contacted students to find out who wanted to be involved in the fall. “ M r . Keeler Messerole had the students who were interested in technology let Sue (Dake) in the office

know,” Keeler said. “These kids are the ones who said, ‘Yes, I want to help.’”

Each of the students is now enrolled in either Creston’s Environmental and Spatial Technology (EAST) class with Anthony Donahoo or Students of Service in the Information Technology department with Keeler. During these class blocks, the students perform repairs and work with the new technology in the 21st

century classrooms. They also help troubleshoot if tech problems arise within their other classes.

Keeler said the students have already been repairing Chromebook screens, and some also presented at the Green Hills AEA’s 21st Century Learners’ Conference on Oct. 2.

Messerole said the “ninjas” have already become an NINJAS | 2A

The 2015 Union County Christmas Basket Fund campaign is underway.

This year’s fund goal is $19,000 and organizers are gearing up for another successful campaign.

Last year, 550 baskets serving more than 1,200 people were distributed.

Residents of care centers in Creston and Afton received fruit and Kleenex.

Baskets include meat, canned goods donated through efforts of Boy Scouts and school and community projects and certificates redeemable at local

supermarkets for perishable foods.

Nominations for Union County residents will be taken until Nov. 24.

Each child 18 and younger will also receive a gift certificate for clothing items.

Along with providing food baskets and certificates to those in need at Christmas, monetary and food donations are used

by The Chirstmas Basket Fund to provide assistance throughout the year. Those BASKETS | 2A

important part of the process to be sure all of Creston’s technology stays up and running. And they’re learning along the way.

“We’re using their skill set to help them learn some lifelong skills,” Messerole said. “It quite possibly could become a career for them.”

‘Coolest name ever’ To name the tech squad, students and faculty tossed out several potential monikers, including “Panther Tech,” “Creston Tech” and “Tech Pirates.”

But none of them stuck quite like “Panther Tech Ninjas.”

“Who doesn’t love ninjas?” said junior squad member Steven Stow.

“We’re the Panthers, and we’re messing with technology, so you’ve just got to add it all together and you get the coolest name ever: the Panther Tech Ninjas.”

Stow said he was always interested in fiddling with technology growing up but never took the initiative until he joined Creston’s

area are aware of them but haven’t used them.

However, situations of unresponsive patients may help emergency health care providers to discover as much information as they can about the patient, and an application on a cell phone could create hurdles.

A disadvantage to the application could be inaccuracy. An example given

by Epp was if a man updating his medical history had a one-time reaction to a medication, that person may think he is allergic to that specific medication. If

Senior squad member Jacob Routh, who is planning on attending college to study computer networking, said the tech squad is providing him with experience to put on a college application or a job resume.

“Getting some experience messing around with different technologies and having that background will help me in college,” he said. “Then, when I go to get a job I can put it on a resume, too, that I helped out with teaching other

people how to do stuff.”

Routh also said he enjoys the hands-on process of picking up how to use the new technology, which fits more into his learning style.

“One thing that I really like is that most of our learning comes from trial and error,” Routh s a i d .

“For the m o s t p a r t , it’s selft a u g h t . Routh You go, ‘Oh well, this didn’t work — how can I change it and make it work?’ I prefer to learn that way.”

Messerole said the technological intuition these high school students have makes them great for this role.

“The high school kids were born and raised in the digital age, and they pick up and master all of the tech they can handle, and they process it much faster than we do,” Messerole said. “There’s some projects I just throw their way, and they do it. And if

they don’t know how to do it, they figure it out.”

The Panther Tech Ninjas officially elected officers last week. Future projects will include attending conferences, organizing possible future “coding days” and putting together tutorial videos on how to care for the new Chromebooks and use the gadgets found in the 21st century classrooms.

he puts that in the application and medical personnel use that information, it voids a whole category of medication.

But, Epp said there are more advantages than disadvantages in the field of medicine with these apps.

“Medicine in this country is still practiced in a 1950s platform. We don’t have much free and real-time access to real health problems. For example, I could go right now and log on to my banking information or my entire financial picture immediately, ... but to go to some site to log on and get our actual health information? Almost impossible,” Epp said.

He also said access to

real-time information like a person’s health history could decrease the number of mistakes and things done inappropriately in time.

“If there was a gold-standard smart phone app where patients of all ages could go and enter their health information, it would make their health care much better, and it would make our job much easier,” Epp said. “I would encourage anybody to download it, to use it, to take it seriously.”

The medical ID apps are formatted differently but have similar input and output information. The iPhone Medical ID program within the Health

app allows the phone owner to input her basic information: name, age, weight, height and emergency contacts. It also allows her to input specific health information such as blood type and if she’s an organ donor.

Another way a person can show medical history is by wearing a medical bracelet or necklace. Some have even tattooed their history on their skin.

“On behalf of the medical field in general, if everybody used these things and used them like they’re laid out,” Epp said, “or had their physician review them and up date their information, their health care would be better.”

EAST program.

“They kind of tell you how to use different softw a r e s and stuff, so it furthers your knowledge,” he said. “The more you learn, you Stow get better at it and the more you want to learn how to do more stuff.”

Stow said when he heard about the chance to join the tech squad, he jumped on board because it wasn’t an everyday opportunity.

Saturday will be Buddy Poppy Day Creston Mayor Warren Woods announced Saturday will be Buddy Poppy Day in Creston and veterans will be representing the VFW on the streets giving out Buddy Poppies. All money collected will be used to assist needy Veterans in the area. Woods asks that all citizens pay tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom by wearing a Buddy Poppy on this day.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) conducted its

first poppy sale before Memorial Day in 1922, becoming the first veterans organization to organize a nationwide distribution of poppies. The poppy was soon adopted as the official memorial flower of the VFW. In 1923, the VFW decided that the VFW Buddy Poppies would be assembled by disabled needy veterans who would be paid for their work to provide them with some form of financial assistance. The next year, disabled veterans at the Buddy Poppy

poppies bearing that name and the VFW label are genuine products of the work of disabled and needy veterans.

2015 marks the 93rd anniversary of Poppy Day throughout the United States of America.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, November 3, 2015

New changes in your newspaper this week Last year, a new masthead was placed atop the Creston News Advertiser front page.

I still love that masthead design, especially given the image of the eagle was taken by local photographer Tom Danilovich. He captured that eagle photo while it was flying here in Iowa. I also like the red and black coloring in the masthead. After all, I’m a CHS graduate and bleed red and black.

That said, this week you’ll notice new inside headers (example: Inside, Local, Entertainment), bylines, jump tags and runover boxes.

You might not know exactly what all those are right now, but feel free to browse the paper this week, and I’m confident you’ll recognize these upgrades. Dorine Peterson

In Transit Kyle Wilson managing editor

and Dennis Kuyper helped with the design of these, and they work masterfully with the front page masthead.

These changes are things I told publisher Rich Paulsen I would do when I took the managing editor position in January 2014.

Later this week, you’ll notice two other changes in your newspaper. Throwback Thursday was a feature implemented shortly after I was hired, too, and it has become a readership favorite. However, the

5 years ago category isn’t very exciting in my opinion.

So moving forward, Melody Stoll, our newsroom assistant, will be digging up news from 10, 20 and 50 years ago. She may even sprinkle in some news from 60 or 75 years ago. Our microfilm archive at the CNA is pretty well organized and dates back to the 1920s.

We will also start a new feature this week. My former newspaper in Ozark, Mo., used to publish a feature called On the Spot. Essentially, it’s a Q&A piece on a community member who perhaps doesn’t get in the paper often or on someone new to the community. However, we’re going to call our feature “5 minutes with ...”

We will be starting that Friday with reporter Kelsey Haugen taking the reins on that feature for the most part. Our first interview, fingers crossed, will be the new Creston postmaster Sharon Parkinson.

Give us a call, Sharon, if you are reading this.

Also, in the coming weeks, please be on the lookout for a survey that will be published in our newspaper.

You will be able to cut this survey out, and I’ll ask readers to select their five favorite comics that run on our Entertainment page. Please participate in this survey because if comics aren’t being read, my plan is to weed those out and replace them with new comics.

I would like to get 250 surveys

back. That’s probably a stretch.

However, if I don’t get that many I plan to call subscribers by phone until that number is reached.

As always, if you have have any feedback on what you like or dislike about the Creston News Advertiser, you can call me at 641782-2141 ext. 6437 or by email at kwilson@crestonnews.com.

Lastly, don’t forget to vote today.

The biggest local race is for Creston mayor where incumbent Warren Woods is being challenged by Gary Lybarger and Laryl Vanden Berg. I’ll have coverage tonight online at www.crestonnews.com after the polls close. I’ll also have live coverage on Twitter (@k_wilson85) starting around 9 p.m.

Letter to the editor

Anonymous letters need a signature From Heather McNichols Creston

To Anonymous, This letter is in response to all your kindergarten cut and paste projects that have littered the town over the last several months.

As a member of your little mailing list, I would just like you to know that your actions are cowardly. If you feel so strongly about these beliefs, sign your name. As long as you’re hiding behind these anony-

mous letters, your so-called beliefs are nothing more than gutless and empty.

I am not defined by my sexuality, and your perception of me as a person should not be based merely on that. Your apparent interest in, and disapproval of, my lifestyle choices will not affect my happiness. I’m proud of the life and family I have built for myself. I am not ashamed of how I live my life and that is why my name is on this letter.

We like to hear from you!

White House admitted that U.S. Special Forces are in Iraq and Syria HOLLYWOOD —God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

A Polish court on Friday barred the U.S. from extraditing director Roman Polanski back to Los Angeles concerning a forty-yearold underage sex case. He gave a fifteen-year-old a Quaalude at Jack Nicholson’s house and had sex with her. He faces charges of stealing Bill Cosby’s nightclub act.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards was sentenced in court for shoplifting on Friday and she has been banned from ever setting foot in Target again. The second sentence was even harsher. For shopping at Target, she’s been banned from ever setting foot in Beverly Hills again.

CBS Radio reported Friday the New York Jets asked NFL security to sweep their locker room for listening bugs when they played the Patriots in New England last week. Would they stoop so low as to snoop? The Patriots director of scouting is a high school kid in China who’s wanted by the FBI. President Obama reversed course Friday and sent U.S. ground troops to Syria and Iraq to battle ISIS. For seven years in TV speeches he vowed never to send combat troops to Iraq and Syria but Friday he did. You know he’s getting older when President Obama doesn’t support President Obama.

John Kerry went to Geneva to negotiate with Russia and Iran on the future of Syria’s dictator Bashar al-Assad. He was there

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

to represent the U.S. position.

It states that Assad is a ruthless dictator who had gassed his own people, but it’s their country and if fracking turns up nothing, we’re leaving.

The White House admitted that U.S. Special Forces are in Iraq and Syria to help the Iraqis and Syrian rebels fight against ISIS. The administration insists that the U.S. military is only there in an advisory capacity. The other night, U.S. warplanes dropped ten thousand pounds of advice on Fallujah.

Congressman Paul Ryan overcame a splintered Republican caucus and was elected Speaker of the House Thursday. He vowed to return the writing of bills to congressional committees. Hold on, under the U.S. Constitution the writing of bills is a right reserved for campaign donors and oil lobbyists.

GOP candidates assigned aides Friday to create a dignified debate format, saying that network formats have produced nothing raucous clown shows. They’re spinning their wheels. CNBC just got fourteen million viewers opposite the World Series Wednesday, and clown shows it’ll be from now on.

Hillary Clinton’s national office staffers in Brooklyn tweeted for help Friday when seven of them

locked themselves in the ladies restroom and couldn’t get out. No one came to their rescue for half an hour. The election’s still a year away and already Trump has sewn up the Locksmith Vote.

Hillary Clinton was introduced

by Jesse Jackson in Georgia Friday at a rally to enlist support from blacks. While speaking she was drowned out by chants from the Black Lives Matters crowd.

Republicans have the same problem with white protesters calling for a return to reachable par-fours.

Jeb Bush denied his campaign’s on life support after his last debate performance. The kitchen staff in Kennebunkport is watching closely. If Jeb’s poll numbers don’t put him in the top tier in next week’s debate, he might have to sit at the card table with the grand-kids on Thanksgiving Day. A U.S. military defense radar blimp slipped off its moorings in Maryland Thursday and floated aimlessly over Pennsylvania.

It was loaded with sophisticated missile detection radar. Most people who looked up and saw it just assumed it was Chris Christie rehearsing for the Thanksgiving Parade.

China’s government made news Thursday announcing that it is ending China’s one-child-per-family policy, which has been in effect for forty years. They announced that each family will be allowed to have two children. It’s widely considered to be a sign that Apple is facing a labor shortage.

BROOMFIELD, Colo.

(AP) — As his surge in heavily evangelical Iowa puts a spotlight on his faith, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is opening up about his membership in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He embraces it as right for him while also framing his beliefs in broad terms that aim to transcend divisions among Christians.

In an interview with The Associated Press, days after GOP rival Donald Trump criticized Carson’s church, the retired neurosurgeon said his relationship with God was “the most important aspect. It’s not really denomination specific.”

Carson discussed a brief period as a college student when he questioned whether to stay in the church. And in his own criticism, he said it was a “huge mistake” that the top Adventist policymaking body recently voted against ordaining women.

“I don’t see any reason why women can’t be ordained,” he said.

The remarks from the Republican presidential candidate were his most expansive about his church since he joined the 2016 contest.

Voters have come to know him for his faith-infused policy stands, including his opposition to abortion and gay marriage, without hearing much from him about his Adventism.

The church, formed in 1863 in Battle Creek, Michigan, has a spiritual focus on healthy living and an extensive network of hospitals and medical clinics. Carson expressed pride in the denomination, while also trying to reach beyond it.

“There are a lot of people who have a close relationship with God, and you can generally tell who they are by the way they act, the way they treat other people,” he said Wednesday a few hours before the GOP debate.

“The reason that there are like 4,000 denominations is that people have looked at this and said, ‘Let’s interpret it this way. Let’s interpret it

this way.’

“Sometimes they get caught up in that and forget about the real purpose of Christian faith,” he said.

Trump has appeared to be trying to paint Carson as part of a faith outside the mainstream, not a religious conservative who shares the values of Iowa’s evangelicals. During a rally last Saturday in Florida, Trump noted he was a Presbyterian, calling his own church “middle of the road.” Then he added, “I mean, Seventh-day Adventist, I don’t know about.”

A possible impetus for Trump’s new approach was a series of preference polls showing Carson overtaking him in Iowa, the lead-off caucus state where evangelical voters are crucial to success for Republicans.

In 2012, Mitt Romney, a Mormon, won just 14 percent of Iowans who described themselves as born again or evangelical Christian, according to Iowa caucus exit polls, amid deep skepticism about his church and his politics.

Carson told the AP he had “totally anticipated” that Trump and his supporters would try to stir doubts about his church in the primary contests.

“Donald Trump is Donald Trump. It doesn’t surprise me that he’s doing that. I would only be surprised if he didn’t,” Carson said.

“There’s a lot of things that are done in politics that are not fair, but when you get into the fray you have to expect those things.”

The Seventh-day Adventist Church was born from what is known as the “Great Disappointment,” when Jesus failed to arrive in 1844 as expected by thousands of Christians in a moment of widespread religious fervor known as the Second Great Awakening. Many of these disheartened faithful, called Adventists for their belief in Christ’s imminent return, continued studying the Bible together and set Saturday as their Sabbath day of

worship.

Ellen White and her husband James were leaders in that movement and founded the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The denomination says it now has 18.7 million members worldwide, with 1.2 million in North America.

For the small number of evangelicals who pay close attention to the church, their unease is focused in part on Ellen White, a prolific writer considered a prophet by Adventists, whose views continue to shape the denomination.

Some pastors in the Southern Baptist Convention protested this year when Carson was invited to address their annual meeting. While the reasons for the objections were mixed, some cited the religious weight given to White’s opinions, even though Adventists, like other conservative Christians, consider only the Bible authoritative.

“We caught wind of the controversy and just gracefully bowed out,” Carson said, shrugging off the episode.

Carson is accustomed to misunderstandings about his church.

“A lot of people would ascribe any weird thing they heard about anybody — they’d say, ‘That’s the Adventists,’” he said.

His mother was an Adventist, and he was baptized into the church twice at his own request, because he felt he was too young the first time to grasp the significance. He has served as an elder, a religious teacher and as a star representative of the denomination around the world. Videos are plentiful online of Carson debating atheists, upholding Adventist teaching that God created the Earth in six days, and giving personal testimonies at churches.

A twice-daily Bible reader, Carson said he still belongs to his longtime church in Spencerville, Maryland, and to another in Florida. If he’s on the road campaign-

ing on a Saturday, he and his wife will try to find a local Adventist church or watch services online.

In the interview, Carson revealed he went through a brief period of questioning as a Yale University student about whether Adventism was right for him. He said he was upset by segregation in the church.

After trying out services at Roman Catholic, Methodist, Baptist and Lutheran churches, he ended up staying.

“I concluded it was the right church, just the wrong people. The church was very segregated. You know, if you have the love of God in your heart, it seems like you wouldn’t do that. That has changed fairly significantly since that time,” Carson said.

Traces of the anti-Catholic prejudice White expressed in her writings can still be found in Adventism. Carson rejects that bias.

“I love Catholics. My best friend is Catholic. I have several honorary degrees from Catholic universities,” he said.

Carson also addressed White’s end-of-the world prophecy about Jesus’ return. She predicted that the government, with the help of Christians who celebrate the Sabbath on Sunday, will persecute Seventh-day Adventists for their Saturday worship.

“I think there’s a wide variety of interpretations of that. There’s a lot of persecution of Christians going on already in other parts of world. And some people assume that’s going to happen every place. I’m not sure that’s an appropriate

assumption,” he said. “If you look at what’s going on today with persecution of Christians, particularly in the Middle East, I believe that’s really more what’s being talked about.”

Adventists today place a heavy emphasis on protecting religious liberty, a position with roots in White’s prophecy, although their efforts extend beyond their own to church to help protect all faiths. The denomination filed a brief in support of the Muslim woman who won a Supreme Court case this year against Abercrombie & Fitch, which refused to hire her because she wore a headscarf.

Given the denomination’s traditional concern for religious freedom, some Adventists have been upset

by Carson’s recent comments that the U.S. should not elect a Muslim president. He stood by that position in the interview, and said those who object probably don’t understand Islamic law, which he said “is not consistent with” the U.S. understanding of religious liberty.

Last May, Seventh-day Adventist officials issued a statement taking note of Carson’s candidacy. It emphasized the church’s longstanding support for the separation of church and state and said it was crucial for Adventists to continue keeping politics out of the pulpit during this election season.

Still, given the extra attention, the denomination is rolling out a new website, whoareadventists.org, to educate the public about the church.

While many contractors and professionals know to make the free call to 811 before a dig, the rule (in Texas, it’s a law) to call 811 also applies to homeowners.

You would do us a great service by reminding readers that if they are going to put in a mailbox, put up a fence, dig a hole for tree planting — anything that would result in the earth being broken — they should PLEASE make the free call to 811 BEFORE they dig An operator will take their information and then notify the relevant utilities in the dig area. They have 48 hours to come out and mark or flag the locations of buried lines.

Texas has nearly a half-million miles of buried utilities — gas lines, water lines, communications, electrical, sewer — and more going in every day. In 2014, we took more than 2.5 million calls and are

Readers, make note of this phone number. It’s 811, and is a federally designated number that is nationwide. Before you start digging, call, no matter what size job you are planning.

They do all of the work for you. It may even be the law in your state, like it is in my state of Texas! — Heloise ERASER HINT Dear Heloise: I read the hint about using an emery board to renew an eraser. The problem is that most students won’t have an emery board handy. When I was in school, I just “erased” on my jeans by rubbing back and forth a few times, and the eraser worked great again! — Michelle B., via email LINT SCREEN Dear Heloise: Here’s a hint for maintaining your dryer: If

you use fabric softener of any kind, you should occasionally inspect your lint screen. The softener accumulates there, but not visibly. Put the screen under a faucet to see if water pools on it, which is bad.

Clean with a liquid detergent and a soft brush until water flows freely through the filter.

Horoscope Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a wonderful, creative day for you! Artists and musicians will be full of original, creative ideas. However, this is a slightly accident-prone day for your kids, so be alert.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is the perfect day to relax at home if you’re able to do this. However, it’s a poor day to shop for anything other than food and gas or to make important decisions, especially about home and family.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today will be full of delays, silly errors and detours.

Nevertheless, it’s a fun-loving day. Expect to meet new and interesting people.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful, because you are focused on financial matters today, and this is a poor day to make financial decisions. Don’t spend your money on anything other than gas and food.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, but it is void-of-course.

That means this is a willy-nilly day full of shortages, delays and surprises. (Great for fun, but not good for business or important decisions.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Like yesterday, your psychic powers are still enhanced.

However, unlike yesterday, listen to your impulses but do not act on them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a wonderful day to schmooze with others. You might meet new friends. Share your hopes and dreams with someone because this person’s feedback might help you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Quite likely, you will have a discussion with a boss or someone in a position of authority.

If so, volunteer for nothing and agree to nothing. Wait until tomorrow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Although you are keen to travel and do something different today, this is a poor day to make travel plans or to sign on the dotted line. Just bide your time for 24 hours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Avoid important decisions regarding the wealth and resources of others today.

This includes shared property, inheritances, insurance deci-

sions and such.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign.

Just keep things light.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your work efficiency will suffer today; nevertheless, this is still a pleasant day. Just lower your standards and expect less from yourself and others.

YOU BORN TODAY You are charming; yet, you often provoke controversy because you

like to make others think. You sometimes do this by using humor. This is the year you have been waiting for. It’s a time of expansion and great activity. Take advantage of opportunities. A major change might take place, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2006. It’s time to test your wings!

Learning Center of Southwest U.S. Attorney Nicholas A. Klinefeldt to step down MOINES — Nicho- the Southern District of Iowa. in the Department of Justice ships he and the office have Iowa receives Wal-Mart grant lasDES A. Klinefeldt announced The United States Senate on a national basis to update developed with their federal, The Learning Center of Southwest Iowa (TLC) will receive funding through a WalMart Community Grant. The funds received from the grant will be used to purchase computers for staff and students to use while at TLC, as well as a large-screen television for educational presentations and family enrichment gatherings.

The Learning Center works is to make educational services available beyond the

school for those with learning differences. Students who are receiving services at TLC have lower drop-out and absentee rates, and they are highly motivated to succeed academically.

The Learning Center of Southwest Iowa is now taking applications for learners in math and reading. Contact TLC at TheLearningCenter2014@gmail.com or call 641-782-3849 to learn more.

Contributed photo

Pictured holding the grant check are Reasa Sturm, TLC teacher coordinator; Daniell Bargstadt, TLC development director; and Andy Fosselman, Wal-Mart store director.

Wal-Mart employees are shown in the background.

Wednesday that he will step down as the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa, effective Nov. 15. After leaving office, Klinefeldt will become a partner in the Des Moines office of an international law firm.

“Serving as United States Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa has been the greatest honor and privilege of my career,” Klinefeldt said. “I am grateful for the trust placed in me by President Obama and appreciate the opportunity I have had to work with Attorneys General Holder and Lynch and the other dedicated professionals across the Department of Justice. I have been inspired by the ongoing commitment to justice displayed by the lawyers and staff in the Southern District of Iowa. They work hard every day to protect the communities across Iowa and vigorously represent the United States.”

On Sept. 25, 2009, President Barack Obama nominated Klinefeldt to be the United States Attorney for

unanimously confirmed his nomination on Nov. 21, 2009, and he was sworn into office on Nov. 25, 2009. Prior to his appointment as United States attorney, Klinefeldt practiced white collar criminal defense in Boston, Massachusetts, and then both civil and criminal law in Des Moines. Klinefeldt received his Bachelor of Arts with honors and his Juris Doctorate with distinction from the University of Iowa in Iowa City. He clerked for U.S. District Court Judge Robert W. Pratt of the Southern District of Iowa and Chief Justice Christopher J. Armstrong and Justice Benjamin Kaplan of the Massachusetts Appeals Court.

As United States attorney, Klinefeldt has been a member of the Attorney General’s Advisory Subcommittee on White Collar Crime and co-chair of the Attorney General’s Advisory Subcommittee on Criminal Practice. As co-chair of the Subcommittee on Criminal Practice, Klinefeldt worked with other leaders

and expand discovery policies to ensure defendants receive all of the information they need to adequately defend themselves, and revamp sentencing practices to ensure the end result of a prosecution is fair.

Locally, Klinefeldt developed a comprehensive discovery policy for the Southern District of Iowa that ensures criminal defendants receive even more information about the case against them than is required by the rules and that they receive it quickly. This policy included the development of a stipulated discovery and protective order that is now universally used in all criminal cases across the district. Klinefeldt also changed the way the office utilized mandatory minimum sentences, to ensure that they were only used when absolutely necessary.

As United States Attorney, Klinefeldt has served as the chief federal law enforcement officer for the Southern District of Iowa. He has taken great pride in the relation-

state and local law enforcement partners. Klinefeldt emphasized and expanded white collar crime enforcement in the Southern District of Iowa.

Under Klinefeldt’s leadership, the office also brought two major civil rights cases against Des Moines police officers for excessive force.

Klinefeldt’s leadership of the United States Attorney’s Office included not only being extensively involved in each of the cases brought by his office, but also personally handling and trying to juries several prosecutions himself.

The Southern District of Iowa covers 47 of Iowa’s 99 counties, and includes Council Bluffs, Des Moines, Ames, Iowa City, Davenport and Burlington. The United States Attorney’s Office, with staffed offices in Council Bluffs, Des Moines and Davenport, has 26 assistant United States attorneys and is responsible for conducting all criminal and civil litigation in the district involving the United States government.

Iowa Learning Farms in Ames to host cover crop field day Nov. 4 in Van Meter AMES — Iowa Learning Farms, along with the Badger Creek Lake Watershed Project, the Iowa Cover Crop Working Group and farmer Jeff Koch, will host a cover crop field day from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 4 at the American Legion Post No. 403 Veterans Reception Center, 910 Main St., in Van Meter. The event is free and open to the public and includes a complimentary meal, but reserva-

tions are suggested to ensure adequate space and food.

Contact Liz Juchems at 515294-5429 or email ilf@iastate. edu.

Hosting the field day is Jeff Koch, a Dallas and Madison County farmer who has been using cover crops since 2012.

Koch is currently participating in a cover crop study with the Iowa Cover Crop Working Group that is looking at the effects of various cover crop mix-

es on soil health, water quality and crop yields. This year, the plots were aerially seeded with a rye, rapeseed and radish mix on Sept. 11. Following the complimentary meal, Koch will lead a tour of his cover crop fields and address questions about using cover crops in his farming operation.

Joining Koch to provide an update on conservation efforts in the Badger Creek Lake Watershed is project

coordinator Anna MacDonald. Also speaking at the field day are Iowa State University Extension and Outreach cropping systems agronomist Mark Licht and Sarah Carlson, Midwest Cover Crops research coordinator with Practical Farmers of Iowa, who will discuss managing cover crops and address questions on cover crop species selection and termination methods.

Iowa landowner sentenced for leasing land used in illegal guided deer hunts DES MOINES — On Oct. 21, Steven C. Miller, 63, of Russell, was sentenced by Chief United States District Judge John A. Jarvey to four years of probation for his role in leasing land that was used in illegal guided deer hunts in Iowa, announced United States Attorney Nicholas A. Klinefeldt.

As a condition of his probation, Miller must pay a $3,000 fine and cannot engage in hunting activities or allow any form of hunting or trapping to occur on his property. Miller was also ordered to pay a $2,500 money judgment in lieu of forfeiture of his equipment used during the illegal guided hunts and pay a $25 special assessment to the Crime Victims Fund.

Iowa is a renowned destination for hunting whitetail bucks. The state is routinely ranked as one of the top states in the nation for producing trophy white-tail bucks. These deer serve as an important natural resource, which is carefully managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Part of this process involves the restriction on the number of out-of-state hunters who are allowed to hunt white-tail deer in Iowa each year. On average, out-of-state hunters can obtain a license once every three to four years to hunt white-tail bucks in Iowa.

People who hunt illegally for Iowa trophy deer under-

mine the state’s management efforts and deprive those who hunt ethically and follow the laws and regulations of opportunities to take trophy deer.

From around 2009 to January 2014, Miller leased land in rural Lucas County to Robert Jerome Wilkins of Alabama for Wilkins to hunt for white-tail deer.

Wilkins guided out-of-state hunters during paid hunts for trophy white-tail bucks on Miller’s land. None of these out-of-state hunters possessed hunting license or tags as required by the laws and regulations of the State of Iowa. Some of the hunters were successful in illegally killing white-tail bucks, and the capes and antlers of those deer were transported from Iowa to Alabama.

Miller pled guilty on July 14 to a misdemeanor violation of the Lacey Act for the unlawful sale of wildlife in violation of 16 U.S.C. §§ 3372(a)(2)(A), 3373(d)(2).

Miller acknowledged that in the exercise of due care, he should have known that the hunters were hunting for and killing the deer in violation of Iowa’s hunting laws and regulations.

In the related cases, Robert Jerome Wilkins previously pled guilty to felony conspiracy to commit the unlawful sale of wildlife, was sentenced on July 17, 2015, by Senior United

States District Judge James E. Gritzner to four years of probation, which included six months of home confinement. Wilkins was also ordered to pay $12,000 in restitution to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, pay a $100 special assessment to the Crime Victims Fund, and forfeit firearms and a scope used in the illegal hunts.

Wilkins was assisted during the guided hunts by Kinsman Bruce Wolfe of Montgomery, Alabama. On July 23, 2015, Wolfe was convicted by a jury of conspiracy to commit the unlawful sale of wildlife, as well as two counts of unlawful sale of wildlife, all felony offenses. Wolfe is scheduled to be sentenced by Chief United States District Judge Jarvey on Nov. 20.

“These types of cases show a complete disregard for Iowa’s hunting laws and regulations, and this criminal conduct will not be tolerated. Individuals engaging in such conduct, including landowners who allow their land to be used for unlawful hunting, will be held accountable,” Klinefeldt said.

This investigation was conducted by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the Alabama Game and Fish Division and was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.

PELLA — It didn’t take long for No. 1-ranked Pella to set the tone for its 25th straight victory with its array of explosive weapons.

Just 1:11 into the game, wide receiver Payson Vande Lune picked up a Little Dutch fumble and raced 55 yards along the right sideline for the first score of the game against upset-minded Creston/ Orient-Macksburg.

first pass of the night. Taking over on the Panther 37, Pella steadily drove toward the end zone before 195-pound senior running back Nathan Henry scored from 3 yards for a 14-0 lead at the 7:29 mark of the first quarter.

Creston/O-M, coming in at 6-4 and fresh off a 34-11 victory over fifthranked Harlan that received notice around the state, faced an uphill battle from there in Monday’s second-round playoff game.

The Little Dutch zoomed to a 38-7 halftime lead en route to a 52-27 victory.

Pella travels to ninth-ranked Davenport Assumption Friday in a quarterfinal game, with the winner advancing to the

semifinals in the UNI-Dome.

Creston/O-M was only outscored 28-20 in the final two quarters, but the damage had already been done.

“It’s not the way we needed to start out in the beginning, no doubt,” said offensive coordinator and co-coach Ryan McKim. “We hung in there. It is what it is. They’re a good team. The game didn’t start the way it needed to start for us.”

Forcing turnovers and striking quickly on offense behind the veteran leadership of two-way threat Noah Clayberg at quarterback has been the winning formula for Pella the past two years. It was on full display Monday.

After the fumble return touchdown, Henry covered 124 yards on just 12 carries with four touchdowns. Clayberg ran for 84 yards on nine carries and was 7-of-10 passing for 155 yards and no interceptions, with a scoring connection to Ryan Van Wyk during the team’s three-touchdown second quarter.

Warner’s 27-yard field goal in the final seconds of the second period put a cap on the dominating period.

“Our guys have done a good job of that, trying to utilize some of our speed and athleticism,” Pella coach Jay McKinstrey said. “Our concern with Creston was the fact that they can control the football. They can get first down after

first down after first down, with their size up front and as good as their running back is. Creston is a good team. We had to elevate our play tonight to beat them.”

Some of that concern was well-founded, as the offense featuring Chase Shiltz behind that imposing line finished with more plays (62 to 49) and nearly as many yards (449 to 466) Shiltz with more first downs (18 to 16). Pella just

MOUNT AYR — After trading blows in a 23-20 first half, Mount Ayr wore down Colfax-Mingo in the second half here Monday on its way to a 42-20 victory in the second round of the Class A playoffs.

The win improves Mount Ayr to 9-2 for the season as the Raiders advance to the Class A quarterfinals for the second year in a row. The Raiders host 8-3 Lynnville-Sully, a 29-28 winner over Winfield-Mt. Union on a last-second kick, at 7 p.m. Friday.

Mount Ayr’s physicality took its toll on the Tigerhawks in the first half and it was evident in the second half.

“We kind of felt at halftime like we had started to see that happen at the end of the second quarter and we just really turned the physical play up in the second half,” Mount Ayr co-coach Delwyn Showalter said.

“They just never really recovered. I thought maybe at halftime they’d get their second wind and it would take us a little while to wear them down again. I don’t know that they recovered at halftime. I think we had them worn down at that point.”

the defense was beginning to make life difficult for East Mills quarterback Ben Christensen.

But, the momentum shifted quickly.

With 1:18 left in the first half, Christensen threw a perfectly thrown ball into the lap of wide receiver Miguel Sanchez who bolted 55 yards for a touchdown to give East Mills a 22-18 advantage. Then, on Lenox’s ensuing drive East Mills linebacker Noah Richter made the play of the game when he intercepted Cline, who was trying to throw a screen pass to Jared Hensley, and nearly returned it for a touchdown.

“They burned us on some screens the last time we played them,” Richter said. “So, that’s something we worked on before this game. I just did what my coaches told me, read the play and was right there to make the interception. I almost scored. If only I was a little faster.”

Cline tripped Richter up at the 9-yard line with 20 seconds left in the half. And, two plays later Josh Hopkins bulldozed in for a 2-yard touchdown with no time remaining in the first half to give the Wolverines a 30-18 halftime lead.

“Suddenly, we were down 12 points. Those two plays at the end of the half really got us tonight,” said Allen Dukes, Lenox head football coach.

The Tigers never did recover in the second half. East Mills beautifully executed a play action pass with 7:53 left in the third quarter that all but sealed the victory. Christensen faked to Hopkins and threw over the top to Richter for a 30-yard touchdown, giving the Wolverines a comfortable 36-18 lead.

Hopkins had a big night for the Wolverines. The Tigers held him to 76 yards in their first meeting Oct. 2, but that wasn’t the case Monday. Hopkins carried the ball 30 times and amassed 156 yards and three touchdowns.

“Hopkins had good blocking tonight,” said Kevin Schafer, co-head coach for East Mills.

“We were much more physical up front tonight than the last time we played them and our fullback (Luke Stortenbecker) had another good game. He was just throwing his 150-160

pound body at everyone.”

A bright spot for Lenox was Dawson Tullberg, who had four catches for 113 yards and two touchdowns. Cline was 13of-32 for 243 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions, after throwing only four interceptions all year. Junior varsity running back Colton Hogan was the leading rusher for Lenox with two carries for 38 yards. Lenox had a total of 108 rushing yards on the evening.

Jared Hensley and Derek Venteicher led Lenox defensively. Hensley had four solo tackles and 10 assists while Venteicher had three solo tackles, eight assists and two sacks.

Lenox finishes the season with an record of 10-1. The Tigers lose eight seniors including Cline, Spencer Brown, Josh Mitchell, Jordan David, Dillon Bennett, Zach Marxen, Tyler Brokaw and Leevi Marshall.

“Our seniors played and were all leaders,” Dukes said, “and will all be missed, but it will be a good season that they will remember.”

on the opening drive of the game. Myers was 4-of-6 passing on that drive.

After Mount Ayr recovered to take a 9-7 lead thanks to a 27-yard TD pass from Taylor to Dolecheck and a 32-yard field goal by Nick Wurster, Myers connected Jake Lietz for a 75-yard touchdown to give the Tigerhawks a 14-9 lead.

It was the last lead of the game for Colfax-Mingo.

Mount Ayr finished the game with two sacks on Myers and picked him off four times. Wurster finished the night with three interceptions, including one off a pass tipped by Caleb Schnoor that set up a 1-yard Dolecheck TD run to put the Raiders up 23-14.

“I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and it fell into my hands,” Wurster said of the tipped-ball interception, which he returned to the 41-yard line.

Myers completed only 13 of 39 passes for 154 yards, with 75 yards coming on one play.

Outside linebackers Schnoor and Cal Daughton played man-to-man coverage on Colfax-Mingo’s slot receivers, something the Raiders haven’t done in several years. That adjustment helped disrupt the Tigerhawks’ timing.

field on the opening possession of the second half, scoring in five plays to take a 29-20 lead on senior quarterback Jacob Taylor’s 21-yard touchdown run.

Taylor appeared to be bottled up in a cluster of players, but shot out the back of the pile-up and ran into the end zone.

After a Tigerhawk three-and-out, the Raiders scored in five plays again.

Taylor ran up the middle for an 8-yard touchdown to put Mount Ayr on top 36-20.

Kyle Dolecheck’s interception of Myers on a fourth-and-10 heave set up Mount Ayr’s 12-yard scoring drive, which was capped off by a 7-yard TD pass from Taylor to Dolecheck, giving the Raiders the final 42-20 margin with 11:36 to go in the game.

Colfax-Mingo managed just three first downs in the second half against the Mount Ayr defense.

“We knew at some point in time our front line was going to wear them down,” Mount Ayr co-coach Derek Lambert said. “We’ve got so many rotations so our guys are able to stay fresh.

I looked up again and Kyle, with his great speed, had a step on the corner, so I put it up and let him go make a play on the ball.”

“That’s something Jacob wouldn’t have been able to do last year. He didn’t have the confidence in himself to be able Lambert to hang in the pocket and wait for something to open up,” Lambert said. “Boy, he hung around and hung around and the shallow routes didn’t open up, so he put it up to our athlete and gave him a chance.”

Taylor was also successful in leading the Raider option rushing attack. He finished the game with 112 rushing yards in addition to completing 8 of 14 passes for 106 yards.

“Jacob Taylor is absolutely our leader offensively,” Lambert said. “He’s doing a tremendous job of making decisions. He’s made himself a football player. Boy, when he turns and hits the beast mode button, he’s a tremendous player.”

But paving the way for Mount Ayr’s success running the ball was the offensive line. Jay Blair at left tackle, Lincoln Lutrick and left guard, Logan Stark at center, the rotation of Clay Wimer and Russell Holmes at right guard and Trevor Gooding at right tackle gave the Raider backs an opportunity to run free.

In addition to Taylor eclipsing 100 yards rushing, Dolecheck and

Daughton each amassed more than 100 yards on the ground. Daughton had 110 yards on 21 carries and Dolecheck had 113 yards on 14 carries.

The Raiders now get one more home game at 7 p.m. Friday against Lynnville-Sully. The winner of that game advances to the Class A semifinals Nov. 13 at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls.

“We love to play in front of our home crowd,” Lambert said. “I don’t think there’s anything better than playing a game at Raider Stadium, because it’s not just a football game, it’s an event. We have tremendous fans. We want our seniors to get that opportunity to showcase their talent.”

Spartans bank on experience SWCC travels for Kirkwood rematch in regional

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

When the Southwestern men play Graceland JV in their home opener tonight, experience will be on their side.

Six sophomore returnees with a year’s experience in the rugged ICCAC are part of coach Todd Lorensen’s second Spartan squad. Tip-off tonight is 7 p.m. in the Spartan gym.

Southwestern got the 2014-15 campaign started last weekend with a 1-1 mark in the Emerson Classic at Marshalltown, falling 71-67 to Division I Highland (Ill.) before routing Pure Prep Academy of Des Moines, 114-54.

While Lorensen lost all-region guard Jaylon Smith (17.3 points per game) and center Mataika Koyamainavure (12.9 points, 6.2 rebounds) from last year’s squad, the six sophomores provide a good core of experience, Lorensen said.

Ahmad Newsome returns at point guard (5.4 points, 4.6 assists). His backup is quick freshman Calvin Chambers of Memphis, Tenn.

On the wings are TJ Bower of Nodaway Valley, last year’s leading 3-point shooter (65-158, 41.1 percent) and Josh Tolbert, another strong shooter with 38.5 percent shooting from behind the arc last year.

L o rensen likes the abilities of freshmen Jordan Johnson of Des Bower Moines Roosevelt and Keshawn Wilson of Lincoln, Neb. “They are both good shooters and will play heavy minutes at the wing,” Lorensen said.

Another sophomore, Dylan Mason, contributed off the bench last year.

Inside, 6-7 Jok Kut and 6-7 Simon Joseph return from last year.

“We see Jok as our starting four man who can also play the five, and Simon is is a big strong kid in the post at the five,” Lorensen s a i d . “ T e r r a n c e Smith f r o m M e m p h i s , Tenn., Jaylon’s Lorensen younger brother, is an athletic player inside for the Spartans who showed scoring potential last weekend. Also helping is Black Hills State transfer Sergio Antelmi, who has good passing and shooting skills at 6-7.

In the conference, Kirkwood is ranked sixth nationally in Division II in the preseason and

DMACC, coming off a national tournament semifinal season, is ranked No. 8. SWCC is picked third in the league in the preseason poll behind those two, coming off a 23-10 campaign.

“Our ceiling is really high,” said Lorensen, assisted again by Tyler Bullock. “It depends on our ability of giving up ‘me’ for the benefit of the team. A lot of our guys are in roles they are not used to. I’m excited to see what this group is capable of doing.”

ROSTER (RS - Redshirt year) Sophomores — Simon Joseph, 6-7, center, Des Moines; TJ Bower, 6-3, guard, Fontanelle; Ahmad Newsome, 6-2, guard, Lansing, Mich.; Jok Kut, 6-7, forward, Lincoln, Neb.; Josh Tolbert, 6-1, guard, Auburn, Ala.; Dylan Mason, 6-2, guard, Jefferson City, Mo.; Terrance Smith, 6-7, forward, Memphis, Tenn.

In the final ICCAC volleyball match of the regular season, NIACC defeated Southwestern in four sets Wednesday, 25-21, 25-20, 21-25, 25-16.

Semifinal winners play for a national tournament berth Saturday at Iowa Lakes of Estherville.

NIACC (16-16 overall) had strong play from its outside hitters in beating Southwestern last week, coach Ting Liu said.

“We couldn’t block and

to,” Liu said. “We also had many receiving errors.”

McKim had many of the same sentiments in the locker room afterward.

“We’re thankful for what that senior class gave us this year,” he said, “but certainly we have things in place for

next year.”

All of the starting offensive linemen return, along with Shiltz, who ended his junior campaign with 33 touchdowns and 2,542 yards — both leading marks in Class 3A this year — and a total of 3,892 yards in two varsity seasons.
