If you’re traveling down Highway 34, be prepared to stop at the Skyline Bridge just east of Creston. Traffic is one-way across the bridge as the Iowa Department of Transportation performs deck joint repairs and puts down erosion stone.

By IAN RICHARDSON CNA staff reporter

irichardson@crestonnews.com

Single-lane traffic across the Skyline Bridge east of Creston will likely continue through the end of November, as a Department of Transportation (DOT) bridge maintenance project is taking about a month longer than expected.

“It’s been a long project here — longer than we anticipated,” said Scott Nixon, resident construction engineer at Creston’s DOT office. “The contractor assures me that he’s looking at three (more) weeks, but I’m going to say four.”

“The contractor assures me that he’s looking at three (more) weeks, but I’m going to say four.

— Scott Nixon

DOT engineer

A construction crew has been making repairs to the bridge’s deck joints, where Nixon said four decades of rust have created holes in the steel, leading to increased leakage down to the bridge’s abutment. Nix-

on said the crew has been replacing these steel joints with new, watertight ones and is also fixing the erosion caused by the leakage.

Nixon said the new joints will be the long-term solution for the bridge, which was constructed in the early 1970s.

“We had the contractor test the watertightness of it to make sure it does not leak,” Nixon said. “We’ve had really good luck with these type of joints, keeping that water out from the abutment.”

Nixon said construction on the north lane of the bridge reached completion Thursday and the crew is

now beginning work on the south lane, which was closed briefly at the outset of the project for some preliminary shoulder strengthening.

Construction began Sept.

8, and Nixon said traffic should return to normal by Dec. 1.

Accidents spike According to the Union County Sheriff’s Office, there have been four reported accidents at or near the construction site in the past two months, all involving the rear-ending of a vehicle.

Chief Deputy Steve Maitlen said the Skyline Bridge

Warm weather keeping Veterans program harvest ahead of schedule to be streamed live DES MOINES (AP) — Agriculture officials say an unusually warm start to November has helped Iowa corn and soybean farmers nearly complete this year’s harvest.

State Climatologist Harry Hillaker says statewide temperatures were about nine degrees above normal last week,

making it the warmest start to November since 2008.

That allowed farmers to get 93 percent of the corn crop out of the fields, nine days ahead of last year’s harvest and two days ahead of the five-year average.

Agriculture officials say they’ve received reports of

piles of corn on the ground at some ethanol plants and local elevators. Soybean farmers have 98 percent of the crop harvested, a week ahead of last year.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture updates its estimate of the size of this year’s harvest later today.

Thanks to all who took time to come and donate.

Nearly 100 packages gathered in diaper drive Nearly 100 packages of diapers were collected in MATURA’s first “No Child Wet Behind” diaper drive held in Creston last week.

Diapers will be distributed to WIC participants beginning at the Nov. 16 clinic in Creston and will continue while supplies last, said MATURA employee Karla Hynes.

“The diaper drive was a wonderful success,” said Hynes.

“It’s exciting to be able to give a p a c k a g e Hynes of diapers to the families who come to clinic. Diapering a child is an expensive task, so I know the families will appreciate getting a little help.”

Hynes said to receive the diapers, families need to keep appointments or sign

up for WIC soon.

“We will hand out diapers as long as we have them, so the earlier you can get in, the better your chances of getting diapers,” Hynes said.

Area businesses served as collection points for the diapers, and MATURA staff trick-or-treated for the diapers on Oct. 30. Those who missed the drive can still contribute.

“Diapers are an ongoing need, so we’ll take diaper donations at any time,” Hynes said. “You can drop them off at the MATURA central office at 207 B N. Elm St. or at our WIC office, 210 Russell St.” The local WIC agency is managed by MATURA Action Corp. MATURA Action Corp. provides quality programming for families and individuals in needs, assisting them in achieving self-sufficiency, in strengthening families and in improving their quality of life.

Grassley recognized for casting his 12,000th vote in U.S. Senate WASHINGTON — Senate leaders recognized S e n .

Chuck Grassley of Iowa Wednesday for c a s t ing his 12,000th Grassley Senate vote early the morning of Oct. 30. Only 17 senators in history have cast more votes than Grassley.

In addition, no senator serving today has gone as long as Grassley has without missing a vote. Grassley has cast 7,474 consecutive votes.

Since Grassley was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1980, he has held at least one official meeting in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties every year.

“When I cast a vote, I’m bringing the benefit of every comment, question and criticism heard from Iowans to the vote,” Grassley said. “With 12,000 votes, I think of the many conversations and pieces of correspondence behind those votes.

Whether I’m meeting with Iowans in the Hart Building in Washington or at the University of Northern Iowa volleyball matches near my farm in New Hartford, the time people take to visit with me is time well spent for me and I hope they consider it time well spent for them.”

Grassley’s 12,000th vote came early Oct. 30 in the morning during consideration of a budget deal.

He voted “no” on a motion to waive all applicable budgetary discipline with regard to the deal.

Maitlen said his advice to drivers is to begin slow down when the construction CONT. FROM | 1A signs come into view and to sees few accidents, and remain aware of what the those that do happen there vehicles around them are tend to be winter-related. doing.

The recent spike, he said, is due to a lack of awareness around the stoplights that Premier Performance SerieS control the one-way traffic.

“It’s definitely construction-related,” Maitlen said.

“I think it’s people just not paying attention.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, November 10, 2015

Prescription drug ads What’s with all the prescription drug advertising on TV? It seems like we’re seeing more and more of it, although direct-to-consumer advertising has actually been occurring for several years – ever since the Food and Drug Administration relaxed its regulations.

Drug companies spend billions trying to convince consumers to ask their doctors to prescribe the drugs they see on TV. I cannot seriously imagine telling my doctor I want to try Lyrica, or Celebrex, Xarelto, Humira, Symbicort, Jublia, Crestor or a host of other drugs to ease my symptoms. What do I know about medicine? How would I know if a particular drug is right for any of my health problems?

The fact is, the more I listen to these ads for prescription drugs, the less I would want to try them.

In other words June Bower

The ads overly praise the drug, then begin listing possible side effects. They’re required to tell us their drugs might cause drowsiness, heart attacks, depression, kidney failure, liver failure, suicide, even death, but during this quiet recitation, we’re shown beautiful scenes of happy people feeling so much better. I suspect many consumers simply ignore side-effect information, but I’m not one of them. By the time I’ve heard all that nonsense, my main side effect is irritation.

If prescription drugs weren’t so expensive, I probably wouldn’t pay

much attention to their advertising.

We all know, however, how expensive TV advertising is, so it’s pretty obvious drug companies have to get a lot of money somewhere in order to pay for their ads. Since we’re not idiots, we know they get it from us.

There are fifteen different cancer drugs that were developed in the last six years, and all of them cost patients more than $10,000 per month. These are drugs approved by the federal government. We are fortunate to live in a country that has developed life-saving drugs to fight illness and disease, but what good are they if we can’t afford to pay for them? And if we can afford to pay for them with our insurance and/or Medicare, then we’re all paying higher premiums and taxes to cover the cost.

Drug companies like to tell us they charge a lot for their prescrip-

tions drugs because of the cost of research and development, but they never really say what that amount is. Companies also benefit from tax breaks when they advertise directly to consumers. Whoever in Congress thought drug companies needed tax breaks for advertising, should have their heads examined.

The United States has the most expensive health care in the world — two and a half times the international average — and spending on prescription drugs has grown faster than any other type of health-care spending. Part of the blame for the high cost of drugs is Medicare Part B, the program for those over 65 that was passed in 2004.

I’ll admit I am grateful Medicare Part B pays a good amount of the cost of medicine; however, the government should not be paying Cadillac prices for our senior drugs.

When Medicare Part B was enacted, it did not allow for price negotiations with drug companies, as for example, the Veterans Administration does. I remember discussing this aspect of the bill with Sen. Chuck Grassley at a 2004 town-hall meeting. He defended the decision at the time not to allow price negotiations in the bill but then, and still today, his arguments make no sense to me.

The only logical reason the government doesn’t require prices to be negotiated is that the drug companies are some of the most powerful lobbies in Washington. Until Congress is willing to stand up to them, the price of prescription drugs will continue to rise, drug companies will continue to make ungodly profits and we will continue to be exposed to their tiresome advertising.

O.J. Simpson’s prison guard in Nevada wrote a book HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Automobile Club forecast that fifty million Americans will travel at least fifty miles for the Thanksgiving Day weekend. The annual holiday feast began almost four centuries ago, it became instantly popular in America. That’s because in the old days, everybody got one free swing at a relative.

Toys R Us rolled out a new toy that’s a microphone and mike stand which emits loud laughter and applause whenever your child speaks into the microphone.

They’ll think they’re funny whether they are or not. This is a way for parents to create Frankenstein without running up the electricity bill.

Homeland Security announced Friday it has assigned a rotating detail of up to three hundred Secret Service agents to guard Donald Trump. It has nothing to do with the election. It’s because Anglo-Saxons attempting to do standup comedy before New York audiences are literally asking for it.

Politico reported that GOP candidate Dr. Ben Carson lied in his

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

autobiography when he wrote that as a boy he was offered a scholarship to West Point. The story didn’t check out. The records show that Carson decided to go to Super-Hero College instead, where he roomed with Brian Williams.

Dr. Ben Carson made headlines Tuesday by saying the pyramids in Egypt were not built by the pharaohs as their burial place but by Joseph as a place to store grain.

His folklore is nothing if not provincial. Next we’ll hear that Stonehenge was clearly a dog park built

by Moses after the Flood.

Ben Carson insisted Friday he really did try to kill a friend with a camping knife but the blade broke on a belt buckle. He won’t deny it. O.J. Simpson is sitting in prison realizing if he’d come clean about what really happened that night in Brentwood, he could be leading the GOP polls in Iowa today.

While we can all rejoice this Veterans Day that the steady flow of U.S. casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan has slowed to a trickle, we must never forget the incredible sacrifice that America’s defenders continue to make on our behalf.

Such is the case of Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler, who died leading a Delta Force rescue mission of ISIS hostages held in Iraq on Oct. 22. A veteran of 14 combat deployments, his sacrifice is shared by four boys, who are now fatherless, and his wife, who became a widow far too early. But another important part of his legacy are the 70 hostages who were spared brutal executions by an enemy that is as ruthless as any that America has faced.

The willingness to face pain and death so others can be spared isn’t unique to just the fallen.

Consider the case of two American veterans and their longtime friend when they bravely stopped a terrorist attack aboard a train bound for Paris this summer.

Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone,

Army Specialist Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Salder could have run from the danger when a heavily armed gunman boarded the train.

Instead, Skarlatos said, “Let’s go,” as the men ran toward a future that could have easily meant instant death or maiming for them and all of the other innocent people within range.

Fortunately, this story is remembered not for the horrific tragedy that nearly happened but for the heroism that did. Even after enduring serious stab wounds that were inflicted as he disarmed the gunman, Stone administered life-saving first aid to a passenger that was shot.

The terrorist was carrying 270 rounds of ammunition. But because of the actions of these three young Americans and two Europeans who assisted them, the death toll aboard the train was zero.

There is also the incredible story of Chris Mintz. As others were understandably fleeing from a mass shooting at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College on Oct. 1, the 30-year-old former Army infantryman bravely confronted the gunman at a classroom door as he

attempted to save others who were inside. Mintz survived the attack and continues to recover after being shot five times.

These stories are inspiring but certainly not surprising to me. As national commander of The American Legion, I meet veterans all the time who have demonstrated tremendous heroism yet blend in our communities without fanfare.

There are many ways to thank the men and women who have served in our Armed Forces, but I cannot think of a better method of showing gratitude than to hire one. Employers who make this smart decision will usually benefit from the discipline, skills and loyalty that are found abundantly in today’s military.

Isn’t it likely that people who have survived firefights in Afghanistan can handle whatever tasks are thrown their way at the office without too much stress? My old classmate, C. Hughes Clark, summed up the humble nature of most veterans: “I can say without regret that I wouldn’t have done anything different through it all, simply because it has given me a sense of accomplishment that I couldn’t have accomplished any other way.”

We like to hear from you!

GREENFIELD — Anna Horn, daughter of Jeff and Brenda Horn of Stuart, and Shelby Soper, daughter of Clint and Mindy Douglas of Adair, were named the Outstanding Senior 4-H members during the Adair County 4-H Awards Day program.

Horn said that she has enjoyed nine years as an Adair County 4-H’er. Her interests include speech contests, singing, breaking and training horses, playing piano, musicals and the Iowa State Cyclones.

Horn is active in her local church group and enjoyed being president of the Jefferson Pioneers. She liked helping fellow members and serving alongside them in some great community service projects. Horn has volunteered at Turkey Hill Ranch Bible Camp in Missouri for the past four summers.

She was on the stable crew leading workshops, counselor for teenage girls and on the office crew helping campers and parents with questions. She thoroughly loves working with her horses and the special bond that is formed between horse and rider.

are so many different skills I have learned through 4-H that will carry with me throughout the rest of my life. I want to be a resource to any 4-H’er that is in the organization. I hope that I will be able to come back and volunteer so that other kids can have the same opportunities that I did.”

Shelby Soper has enjoyed an exciting year. She is a nine-year member of the

Summit Super Stars and credits 4-H for providing her the opportunities to learn and participate in many areas. Soper provides leadership in her local club, Adair County Youth Council, youth action committee, fair board and SOFA planning committee.

She earned a spot with the Iowa delegation to National 4-H Congress and is currently serving her second year on

JFK’s crutches, school desk displayed in new Boston exhibit BOSTON (AP) — There’s a set of his crutches, and his old wooden school desk still bears his initials — “JFK.” Those two items are among many never before displayed in “Young Jack,” a new exhibition at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum that celebrates the president’s early years.

The exhibition focuses on Kennedy’s military service — a transformative time in his life — and his years at boarding school, where he exasperated his teachers and parents with his lack of discipline and penchant for causing trouble.

“As a young person, some of those personality traits — his style, his elegance — weren’t there yet,” Museum Curator Stacey Bredhoff said at Thursday’s exhibition opening. “But we see the seeds of his personality here.

His keen intellect, his enormous charm — all of those are here in his early life.”

At Choate, a private boarding school in Connecticut, the young Kennedy was the ringleader of a group of troublemakers. Nevertheless, he charmed the school’s strict headmaster, who later said Kennedy would get away with some things “just

on his smile.”

In a December 1934 letter to his father, Kennedy wrote that he and classmate Le Moyne “Lem” Billings, who would become a lifelong friend, were doing so poorly that they had “definitely decided to stop any fooling around.”

The desk, which is believed to have been used by Kennedy in his dorm room at Choate, bears the future 35th president’s initials. Billings told museum officials it would have been characteristic of his mischievous friend to carve his monogram into things.

The exhibition also focuses on Kennedy’s service in the Navy. Kennedy was the commanding officer of the patrol torpedo boat PT 109 that was rammed and sunk by a Japanese destroyer in August 1943 off the coast of Australia.

Two of the 13 passengers died instantly. Over the next few days, Kennedy led the remaining men to an island nearly four miles away, gripping the strap of his injured shipmate’s life jacket in his teeth as he swam to tow him to shore. There, two native men showed Kennedy how to carve a message into a coconut husk, which eventually

led to the sailors’ rescue.

The ordeal was a defining moment for Kennedy, showing his ability to lead under great duress, Bredhoff said.

It also shaped his views on war and peace.

“It stopped any romantic notions he had about war,” Bredhoff said.

Kennedy returned home from the war physically and mentally exhausted, suffering from chronic back pain that required him to use crutches. But Kennedy had suffered from an array of medical ailments since boyhood, a detail that he and his family hid from the public and that was only revealed recently.

“He grew up with the idea that you don’t complain about your physical pain,” Bredhoff said.

“Clearly (the crutches) were used, although he was very high-spirited and positive.

Think about the courage it took to project that.”

“Young Jack” will remain open year-round as part of the library and museum’s permanent galleries.

Use of credit card won’t be all wet Dear Readers: New CREDIT CARDS are coming with chips on the front as well as a magnetic strip on the back.

Can these (or any credit cards, for that matter) get wet and still work?

Answer? You betcha! They can get wet and still work.

Now, I don’t mean running it through the wash with HOT water or the dryer on high heat! The real culprit (other than forgetting to take it out of your pocket when laundering) is when the plastic is heated and warps or melts. So, if the card gets wet with water (or something like soda, beer or iced tea), just pat it dry with a towel.

Everyone should go to USPS.com and enter their address into the “Look Up a ZIP Code” section. Not only will this give you the “plus four” of your ZIP code, it will give you the mailing-industry standards for format, spelling, punctuation and abbreviation.

No action was taken by Council.

Council reviewed the conditions of a house located at 312 N. Elm Street, owned by Nicholas Wentland. He was previously given until August 15, 2015 to abate the nuisances charged against him. Because he had just purchased the property, he asked Council for a two month extension to allow him the time to abate the nuisances, which they awarded.

They are approximately 90 percent done with the process, but thinks the total will be somewhere around $17,500.00.

Mr. Sturm also discussed the possibility of adding the sanitary sewer crossing of Hurley Creek to the Adams Street Bridge Replacement Project. In order to get across the Hurley Creek without installing a lift station, it would be to go in the area where the bridge is, but the City is currently working on a bridge project. Snyder & Associates feel that including the sanitary sewer system with the Adams Street Bridge Replacement Project would be the best choice. This would allow one contractor to take care of it all. Mike Taylor has talked with Calhoun and Burns, the City's engineers for the Bridge Project about this.

Under Other, Councilperson Madison commented that the poles on the north side of Adams Street being taken down makes the town look very good.

Motion was made and seconded to adjourn the meeting. All voted aye.

Second by Jackson. All ayes.

Hansen presented her written report.

Bob Hendricks (Winterset) has requested a PDF file for use on the town's web site. She said she would bring the request before the Board but the Board has never given out digital map information. It was the consensus of the Board to not change policy. The City could generate a map from the paper map which is available.

Updates were done on Sept. 22 with no issues except for a Madison Co. problem. Cochran said it was a load balance issue and it is being worked on.

The analysis of the data with GeoComm has checked 24,880 records and they were 97.5% correct. Approximately 400 were duplicates and approximately 80 were other errors. So there are approximately 120-140 records needing straightened out. So there will be no problem reaching the 98% correctness.

There is a GeoComm webinar Sept.

29 on maintenance. Also, be sure to give her county detours for her to include on the PSAP mapping.

Sefrit had the GeoComm contract for signing for the grant to do the data update. It is within the amount the State has provided for doing this work. Denton will sign this as it was approved pending review previously.

She reported on the State E911 meeting. There is a training day set Oct. 19 for text 911, Code 34A changes, etc. A FirstNet presentation will be Oct. 13 from 9:00-4:00.

Holmes said there was no firm idea of what those costs might be. The Board agreed to this grant submission.

Iowa Co. brought up the Mediacom/Intrado issue at the State meeting. Data will apparently be going over VOiP. Mediacom has approached Diane for SCI's data and she told them no. She has not received updates for several weeks. The State is not happy with what is transpiring and suggested for years with market not seven doing what Mediacom is asking.

The Board's consensus was to leave SCI as is to see how the State resolves this issue. Sefrit said she notified Mediacom that SCI is not responsible for their lack of providing information.

Cochran reported Racom instituted plans to work on on-site PSAP issues.

Racom would like the okay to set up quarterly visits on Max Call Taker.

The members agreed with this. For the Board's information, there are instances of Union Co. getting Adams calls that transferred to Montgomery. The problem is being worked on.

Duckworth asked about replacing the keyboard that came from the critical spares. Motion by Duckworth to purchase the replacement keyboard. Second by Jackson. All ayes.

Taylor Co. reported the move to the new building went well. Board members gave advice on replacing multiple keyboards with KVM. Sefrit requested the Oct. meeting be moved to November 4. The Board approved of this move as there will be no November meeting and this spaces out the meetings better.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m.

Union County 4-H represented in Ak-Sar-Ben carcass contest Dillon Bailey, son of Greg and Mindy Bailey of Creston, earned first place with his market beef in the carcass contest at the Ak-SarBen 4-H stock show held in Omaha, Nebraska, earlier this fall. Of the 62 participants in the market beef carcass contest, Bailey placed first with Tyson Tucker of Creston following close behind in 14th place.

The Ak-Sar-Ben stock show is a regional livestock show for 4-H’ers. It is open to 4-H’ers from Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming.

NATIONAL DIGEST

All-American AMES — Iowa State senior Georges Niang has been named a Preseason All-American again.

This recognition comes from the Associated Press after the release of their five-man team on Monday.

Joining Niang on the team is Gonzaga’s Kyle Wiltjer, Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield, Providence’s Kris Dunn and LSU’s Ben Simmons. Niang is the first preseason All-American in Iowa State history since Jamaal Tinsley in 2000.

Niang averaged 15.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game last season. He had 11 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in 23 minutes on Friday in an exhibition win over Grand Valley State.

Iowa State opens the regular season on Friday in Sioux Falls, South Dakota against Colorado.

Bears rally SAN DIEGO (AP) — Zach Miller made a one-handed grab of a 25-yard touchdown pass from Jay Cutler with 3:19 to go, and the Chicago Bears beat the San Diego Chargers 22-19 on Monday night.

Cutler, who overcame an interception return for a touchdown and a fumble to throw for 345 yards, calmly led the Bears on the winning 10-play, 80yard drive after the Chargers opened a 19-14 lead on rookie Josh Lambo’s 22-yard field goal.

Miller made a leaping grab with his right hand and scored. Rookie Jeremy Langford, subbing for the injured Matt Forte, ran in the 2-point conversion.

It was the first lead for Chicago, which scored 15 points in the fourth quarter.

Cutler’s two TD passes broke the franchise record, giving him 139 with the Bears. He had been tied with Hall of Famer Sid Luckman.

The Bears (3-5) snapped a two-game losing streak. San Diego (27) lost its fifth straight.

Two players from Creston/ O-M’s dominant rushing attack were unanimous all-district selections as the Class 3A District 8 honor teams were announced over the weekend.

Creston/O-M all-time and single-season record rusher Chase Shiltz was unanimously selected as a running back and one of his primary blockers — sophomore offensive tackle Trevor Downing — is a unanimous first-team selection in the offensive line.

Another Panther offensive lineman, center Cody Tanner, is also on the first-team offense.

The first-team defense includes linebacker Seth Maitlen and punter Colton Bolinger.

Two more offensive linemen received recognition, as guards Devon Petersen and Blake Sevier are on the second-team offense. The second-team defense includes defensive end Kadon Hulett and sophomore linebacker Kolby Tomas.

Receiving honorable mention are leading Panther receiver Chris Foster and inside linebacker Cameron Leith.

The other unanimous all-district selections besides Shiltz and Downing are Harlan junior running back Nick Tarney, Glenwood receiver Mavrick Decker, Glenwood offensive lineman Caleb

Creston/O-M tailback Chase Shiltz (24) runs through a hole created by Panther blockers against ADM, including offensive tackle Trevor Downing (74) at right. Shiltz and Downing were unanimous all-district selections in Class 3A District 8. Kadon Hulett (55) at left was named to the second team defensive line and guard Blake Sevier (54) was named to the second team offense. Also shown are Jackson Mikkelsen (38) and Keaton Eslinger (51). Shiltz finished the season with 2,542 yards and 35 touchdowns, with 3,792 career yards. Shiltz, a junior, is the single-season and career rushing leader for Creston/O-M.

Sanders, Harlan kicker Ethan Knudson, ADM defensive lineman Jacob Hardy, and defensive linemen Gavin Hawthorne of Dallas Center-Grimes, Jonathan Bieker of Harlan and Cole Loeffelbein of Glenwood.

Head coach Brian Morrison was out of town and could not be reached prior to press time today, but offensive coordinator and co-coach Ryan McKim said two of the surprises for the Panther staff were Maitlen and his dominating presence not receiving

unanimous status, and Hulett on the second team after pressuring opposing backfields with a dozen tackles for losses.

“That surprises me that Seth wasn’t unanimous,” McKim said. “I know Brian believed like I do that Seth is a unanimous type of player.

He calls our defense, gets us lined up, plays physical and has been a good tackler for three years now. He’s one of those guys, you know when he makes tackles, because you hear it.”

McKim said Maitlen, a 6-2, 215-pound senior, is a college prospect as either a linebacker or on offense, where he has played fullback and tight end.

Already the school record-holder last year in tackles, Maitlen led the Panthers again this season with 28 solo stops and 73 assisted tack- Maitlen les.

Hulett had 19 solo tackles and 49 assists along with 12 tackles for losses and three sacks. He was also part of that dominant Panther offensive line at tackle as a 6-4, 230-pound junior.

“I don’t know how to answer why he wouldn’t be on first team,” McKim said.

“Without question he is one of the premier players in District 8. I don’t understand that one. He’ll use that for fuel, trust me.”

Below, Bevins signs an autograph for a young fan after being named Player of the Game. Bevins and senior quarterback Brady Bolles were named the MIAA/AsroTurf Football Athletes of the Week by the conference office Monday. Bevins recorded a team-best seven tackles with four sacks, five tackles for loss and recorded a third quarter safety. His four sacks rank second all-time in Northwest single-game history. Bolles threw for a careerhigh 362 yards and four touchdowns. Young had one solo tackle for the defense that held Emporia State to 10 points, 56 rushing yards and 184 passing yards, all season lows.

Bulls roll PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jimmy Butler stuck a Sharpie inside a media scrum, using the marker as an imaginary recorder to pick up sound bites nearby from teammate Doug McDermott.

Butler could have used the Sharpie to mark a W on the schedule before the opening tip.

Playing the winless 76ers is about as automatic a win as a team gets these days - this decade, really - in the NBA. Nikola Mirotic had 20 points and 10 rebounds and Pau Gasol scored 16 points to lead the Chicago Bulls past Philadelphia, 111-88 on Monday night.

The Bulls played without Joakim Noah and still cruised to a 15-point lead in the first quarter that they eventually stretched to 26.

U. of Missouri president, chancellor TIGERS: leave over race tension Brokaw.

CONT. FROM | 1S

By SUMMER BALLENTINE and JIM SUHR Associated Press

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The president of the University of Missouri system and the head of its flagship campus resigned Monday with the football team and others on campus in open revolt over what they saw as indifference to racial tensions at the school.

President Tim Wolfe, a former business executive with no previous experience in academic leadership, took “full responsibility for the frustration” students expressed and said their complaints were “clear” and “real.”

For months, black student groups had complained that Wolfe was unresponsive to racial slurs and other slights on the overwhelmingly white main campus of the state’s four-college system. The complaints came to a head two days ago, when at least 30 black football players announced they would not play until the president left. A graduate student went on a weeklong hunger strike.

Wolfe’s announcement came at the start of what had been expected to be a lengthy closed-door meeting of the school’s governing board.

“This is not the way change comes about,” he said, alluding to recent protests, in a halting statement that was simultaneously apologetic, clumsy and defiant. “We stopped listening to each other.”

He urged students, faculty and staff to use the resignation “to heal and start talking again to make the changes necessary.”

Hours later, the top administrator of the Columbia campus, Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin, announced he would step down at the end of the year and shift to leading research efforts.

The school’s undergraduate population is 79 percent white and 8 percent black.

The state is about 83 percent white and nearly 12 percent black. The Columbia campus is about 120 miles west of Ferguson, Missouri, where Michael Brown was killed last

year in a shooting that helped spawn the national “Black Lives Matter” movement rebuking police treatment of minorities.

In response to the race complaints, Wolfe had taken little public action and made few statements. As students leveled more grievances this fall, he was increasingly seen as aloof, out of touch and insensitive to their concerns. He soon became the protesters’ main target.

In a statement issued Sunday, Wolfe acknowledged that “change is needed” and said the university was working to draw up a plan by April to promote diversity and tolerance. But by the end of that day, a campus sit-in had grown in size, graduate student groups planned walkouts and politicians began to weigh in.

Sophomore Katelyn Brown said she wasn’t necessarily aware of chronic racism at the school, but she applauded the efforts of black student groups.

“I personally don’t see it a lot, but I’m a middle-class white girl,” she said. “I stand with the people experiencing this.” She credited social media with propelling the protests, saying it offered “a platform to unite.”

At a news conference Monday, head football coach Gary Pinkel said his players were concerned with the health of Jonathan Butler, who had not eaten for a week as part of protests against Wolfe.

“During those discussions,” athletic director Mack Rhoades said, “there was never any talk about anybody losing their job. It was simply and primarily about a young man’s life.”

After Wolfe’s announcement, Butler ended his strike.

He appeared weak and unsteady as two people helped him into a sea of celebrants on campus. Many broke into dance upon seeing him.

Football practice was to resume Tuesday ahead of Saturday’s game against Brigham Young University at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs.

Canceling the game could have cost the school more than $1 million.

WE SALUTE OUR TROOPS & VETERANS

Shaun Harper, executive director for the Study of Race and Equity in Education at the University of Pennsylvania, said the black football players “understood that they have the power.”

“That is so rare,” said Harper, who authored a 2013 study on black male student-athletes and racial inequities in NCAA Division I sports.

“Not in our modern history have we seen black students collectively flex their muscle in this way.”

The protests began after Payton Head, the black president of the student government at the Columbia campus, said in September that people in a passing pickup truck shouted racial slurs at him. In early October, members of a black student organization said slurs were hurled at them by an apparently drunken white student.

Frustrations flared again during a homecoming parade, when black protesters blocked Wolfe’s car, and he did not get out and talk to them. They were removed by police. Also, a swastika drawn in feces was found recently in a dormitory bathroom.

The university did take some steps to ease tensions.

At Loftin’s request, the school announced plans to offer diversity training to all new students starting in January, as well as faculty and staff. On Friday, the chancellor issued an open letter decrying racism after the swastika was found.

The governing board said an interim system president would be named soon, and board members vowed Monday to work toward a “culture of respect.”

The board planned to appoint an officer to oversee diversity and equality at all four campuses. It also promised a full review of other policies, more support for victims of discrimination and a more diverse faculty.

Head, the Missouri Students Association president, called those changes a step “in the right direction.”

“It’s great to see that from the UM system. It’s something that I honestly I didn’t expect but had been hoping for, for a long time,” he said.

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, November 10, 2015

PANTHERS: CONT. FROM | 1S

Record rusher

There was no overlooking the season Shiltz had. He was an easy unanimous choice after rushing for 2,542 yards and 35 touchdowns to lead Class 3A this season, and pushing his career total to 3,792. The 5-11, 185-pound junior still has a season to go. He also had six pass interceptions as a safety before switching to mainly offense when safety Brody Frain returned from elbow surgery.

“With Chase, his play speaks for itself,” McKim said.

“There’s not much you have to add.”

Downing a 6-5, 290-pound sophomore, was a force for opposing defensive lines.

“When you watch us play, you notice we’re very good up front,” McKim said. “And, if you really study what we do on offense, Trevor shows up. He’s a dominant player and he’s just a sophomore. I’m sure if the coaches were watching us on offense, they were noticing number 74.”

Tanner, a 6-2, 270-pound junior, has been a steady player at center for two years now.

Petersen is a 6-0, 230-pound junior and Sevier is a 6-2, 290-pound sophomore. The entire starting offensive line returns next year to pave the way again for Shiltz and company.

“All of the offensive line recognition deals with the respect for what coach (Casey) Tanner and what we do up front,” McKim said. “They all do a great job. We just happened to nominate Kadon on defense, but the rest were nominated on offense and got recognized. Devon is one of the most improved players we have on the team from 12 months ago. That started last winter, when he never missed one day of lifting. It’s a testimony to his hard work.”

Bolinger was recognized as a punter, averaging 37.2 yards.

But distance wasn’t the only factor for the 6-4, 215-pound junior who also played tight end. He recently had minor

meniscus surgery on his punting knee, battling through the injury all season.

“We were fantastic on punt coverage all year, and that’s because we ask him to place it,” McKim said. “He routinely had great location on our kicks. It’s a lot easier to cover when you know where the ball is going.”

Tomas stepped in at outside linebacker midseason and McKim said he helped the Panthers improve their run defense. He also was a backup running back to Shiltz and carried for nearly 500 yards and three touchdowns.

“Kolby did a nice job of providing a physical presence for us on the edge,” McKim said.

“Especially after the Glenwood game, he was important for us and he also allowed us to keep Chase fresh on offense when we were using him both ways. Kolby is a good football player.”

Foster, 5-9, 155-pound senior, was Creston/O-M’s leading receiver with 15 catches for 311 yards and three touchdowns. He was the big-play threat for quarterback Moritz Johannknecht, who passed for 1,358 yards and 11 touchdowns.

“Chris is another one who vastly improved from 12 months ago,” McKim said.

“He understands how to get open, how to use speed to run by guys. He really stepped up.

Post routes aren’t the easiest thing to catch, you have to have good ball skills. He had a great off-season of work and it showed.”

Leith, a 5-10, 175-pound senior, was not perhaps the physical presence of Maitlen at inside linebacker, but effective nonetheless with 14 solo stops and 58 assisted tackles.

“Among the things Cam brought to the position were accountability, and a significant leadership role,” McKim said. “He understands the position. That’s a really important position to be playing well.”
