There’s more riding on Creston High School’s performances this weekend of classic musical comedy “Bye Bye Birdie” compared to previous shows.

“This is the first year we’ve entered ourselves in the Iowa High School Musical Theater Awards through the Des Moines Performing Arts,” said Jane Warner, CHS vocal music teacher and “Bye Bye Bird-

ie” co-director.

“It’s almost like an ‘Iowa H i g h School E m m y A w a r d s Warner Show’ that happens in June.”

After CHS requesting to be a part of the competition and sending a fee, the Des Moines program will send judges to one of the CHS performances this weekend, which will be 7 p.m.

Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.

Cost is $5 at the door for general seating and $7 for reserved seats, which may be purchased at CHS in advance of the show.

While Warner knows which show the judges will attend, she said the students don’t want to know because they don’t want to be overly anxious.

“There will be four judges that are professional theatre people in the audience with notes and rubrics to judge our kids,” Warner

Court upholds governor’s closure of mental healthcare institutes DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld a lower court ruling that said Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad acted within his constitutional authority when he vetoed funding for two state-run mental

health care facilities last year and closed them.

Twenty legislators and Danny Homan, the president of the largest state employee union, sued Branstad claiming a state law requires Iowa to have four

mental health care institutes and limits Branstad’s ability to close the facilities by vetoing the money to run them approved by lawmakers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is set to welcome his successor, Donald Trump, to the White House, extending an olive branch to the man whom he blasted as unfit to serve as commander in chief and who led the charge to challenge the legitimacy of Obama’s own presidency.

Thursday’s Oval Office meeting is the symbolic start of the transition of power from Obama, a Democrat who ushered in a sweeping health care law and brokered a landmark nuclear accord with Iran, and Trump, a Republican who has promised to wipe away those initiatives. Trump takes office on Jan. 20.

First lady Michelle Obama was to meet privately in the White House residence with Trump’s wife, Melania, while Vice President Joe Biden prepared to see Vice President-elect Mike Pence.

Trump departed New York Thursday morning, breaking protocol by not bringing journalists in his motorcade or on his plane to document his historic visit to the White House. Trump was harshly critical of the

Beckwith and Fooken were found in the residence, charged and transported to Union County Law Enforcement Center.

Ver Meer said Creston Police officers reach out to students at Creston Community Schools and Southwestern Community College to prevent future drug-related incidents, and they attempt aggressive enforcement such as doing search warrants.

Today is Nov. 10, the 315th day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 51 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Nov. 7-13) in history:

10 years ago An open house was set for the new Greater Regional Hospice and Home Care, Outreach and Public Health offices in the lower level of Crest Ridge Estates, 1715 W. Prairie St. In 1981, 21 volunteers formed Green Valley Hospice and, in 1987, they joined GRMC, forming Greater Regional Hospice.

Vaughn Seckington was named Creston 2006 Citizen of the Year. She was nominated by Pauline McCoy and had also been named 2004 Iowan of the Day at the Iowa State Fair. Butch Miller was named Volunteer of the Year and Scott Vicker was named Youth of the Year.

20 years ago Emile de Becque, played by Jeff Finn, tries to win the affection of Ensign Nellie Forbush, played by Jennifer Chandler, by singing “Some Enchanted Evening� during “South Pacific,� a musical production by the CHS music department.

Dennis Kuyper, CHS vocal music instructor, directed the performances in the school’s Performing Arts Center.

Gov. Terry Branstad was seeking a five-year ban on the expansion of gambling in the state in a proposal to the Legislature. In an interview, the governor said there were requests from Osceola and Keokuk in the pipeline scheduled for the Racing and Gaming Commission, and once they were resolved, he was asking for the ban.

named Citizen of the Year by Creston Chamber of Commerce. She had been highly visible in her role as a champion of Rainbow Park, along with her volunteerism as a lifelong activity. Pat Pokorny received volunteer recognition for her years of service to 4-H, Holy Spirit Parish, St. Malachy School and Friends of New Parents. Dave Driskell was also awarded volunteer recognition for his years with Creston Development Company, Greater Community Hospital, Southwestern Community College, Creston Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club and Elks Lodge.

After 16 years as executive vice president of Creston Chamber of Commerce, Linda Hartsock announced her resignation at the end of December to devote more time to her business, Country Hearts. She had been on leave since August to assist with the care of her husband Jim, who had cancer.

Crest Area Theatre, lo-

cated at 313 W. Montgomery St., was damaged by fire.

The cause was unknown, but the fire destroyed props, costumes, furniture, books and scripts in the front of the building. Lights and set building equipment at the rear were spared. Few of the contents destroyed were related to the production, “The Night of January 16th,� that was scheduled to be performed that weekend.

Creston High School student and artist Harry Walters sketched the proposed Elm Street underpass for the front page of the paper. There was much interest in what it would look like. Walters was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Willard Walters and had displayed quite a flare and interest in civic sketching.

An ad in the same paper wanted to “Keep Taxes Down.� Figures showed the city bonds owed $124,000, planning for new disposal plant was $200,000, underpass

was $325,000 and fix up old depot was $70,000 for a total of $719,000 – all to be paid by taxes. The city had taken 18 years paying off $95,000 on the swimming pool. How long would $719,000 take?

Renters and property owners cost would go up as well – if taxes go up, rent goes up.

Vote no on the underpass.

After the election on Nov. 8, the underpass vote failed 1,589 no votes to 1,271 yes votes. However, the voters did favor annexing a strip of land along the north border into the city by a vote of 2,084 in favor and 497 against it.

Tony Dunkerson of Creston had heard about shopping early for Christmas, so he decided to be an early bird with his letter to Santa. The letter was forwarded to Santa at the North Pole and Tony had written, “Dear Santa, I love you. I want a machine gun robot. Tony.� CNA was sure there would be many more letters, but Tony’s was the first.

Trump was uncharacteristically quiet in the aftermath of his triumph and made no public appearances Wednesday. He huddled with jubilant, sleep-deprived advisers at his eponymous skyscraper in Manhattan, beginning the daunting task of setting up an administration that will take power in just over two months.

He also met with Vice President-elect Mike Pence and took calls from supporters, family and friends, according to spokeswoman Hope Hicks.

In Washington, Trump’s scant transition team sprang into action, culling through personnel lists for top jobs and working through handover plans for government agencies. A person familiar with the transition operations said the personnel process was still

in its early stages, but Trump’s team was putting a premium on quickly filling key national security posts. The person was not authorized to discuss details by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

According to an organizational chart for the transition obtained by The Associated Press, Trump was relying on experienced hands to help form his administration. National security planning was being led by former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers, who previously worked for the FBI. Domestic issues were being handled by Ken Blackwell, a former Cincinnati mayor and Ohio secretary of state.

Trump was expected to consider several loyal supporters for top jobs, including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani for attorney general or national security adviser and campaign finance chairman Steve Mnuchin for Treasury secretary. Former House Speaker Newt Ging-

rich and Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker were also expected to be under consideration for foreign policy posts.

As president-elect, Trump is entitled to get the same daily intelligence briefing as Obama — one that includes information on U.S. covert operations, information gleaned about world leaders and other data gathered

by America’s 17 intelligence agencies. The White House said it would organize two exercises involving multiple agencies to help Trump’s team learn how to respond to major domestic incidents.

If Trump makes good on his campaign promises, the nation stands on the brink of sweeping change in domestic and foreign policy. He’s pledged to repeal Obama’s health care law and pull out of the landmark nuclear accord with Iran. He’s vowed to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and temporarily ban immigration from nations with terror ties.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, November 10, 2016

Cubs and Trump both win It’s been a banner week for Republican Cubs fans and even some Democratic Cubs fans!

The Cubs win the World Series for the first time in 108 years and then Donald Trump pulls out the presidential race. It just goes to show the polls are not always right.

Sometimes the big media folks don’t see the whole picture. The pendulum always seems to swing back when things get a little too far one way or the other. As for the Cubs, with a young team, they may have several more chances at a few more pennants.

That is if they can keep the team together.

Cubs books You can get a 108-page, full-color special commemorative issue of the Chicago Cubs season here at the Creston News Advertiser. The book is a full recap of the Cubs season and play-

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

offs. It’s a nice-looking, soft-cover book with all info on the 2016 championship season.

We only have 100 books so don’t wait too long. They are $12.99 each.

Few surprises The local races for both the state and national elections went pretty much according to what was anticipated. I think the biggest loss that I saw was that Mike Gronstal, who has been the majority leader for the Democrats, lost his re-election bid.

This will be the first time since 1998 the Republicans will control the State House, Senate and

governor’s office. It’s kind of a mirror of the national picture with the president, House and Senate also being a Republican majority. I hope the party can make some good things happen for all of us! Everyone needs to work together to get us down the road in one piece!

Chamber awards Tonight is the Creston Chamber of Commerce annual meeting at the Supertel Inn and Conference Center. The Citizen of the Year award goes to Roger Lanning this year, Volunteer of the Year to Rich Wenzig and Student of the Year to Rachel Shepherd. All three are wonderful citizens that help make the Creston community a great place to live. It’s always nice to see people honored for their service to the community.

Veterans Day

Friday is Veterans Day. It’s a great day to help celebrate all past and present folks who have served in the armed forces.

My dad was a Marine and served in the Korean War. I had the luck to be born on a Marine base out in California. So to all you veterans ... thank you for your service. Having heard many of the stories from my dad, I know it was not always a “ball of laughs” and just downright dangerous defending our country.

My dad almost didn’t make it through the war due to contracting malaria. It’s not always the bullets that will get you.

Thanksgiving We’re only two weeks away from Thanksgiving. The holiday is early this year which will give you a couple of extra days to Christmas shop.

I see all the stores are in full readiness for Christmas. I also

see that some stores are doing “Black Fridays” all throughout the month of November. It’s a little too early for me to get into Christmas shopping, especially with the warm weather we have been experiencing this year. This has to be the warmest November I ever remember in my whole life.

Hunters I saw several groups of pheasant hunters out opening day of the season. There seem to be mixed results from the reports I’ve heard. Some groups saw and shot several birds while others did not have much luck. I would guess once the corn is out and we get a little snow, that should help the situation.

Thought for the week: “Nobody gives you an education. If you want one, you have to take it.” - John Taylor Gatto

2016

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

Donald Trump gave a gracious victory speech in New York on Tuesday, which rallied the stock markets in Europe and in Asia. The response to the U.S. election from around the world was very generous and supportive. Syria just agreed to take in 100,000 refugees from Hollywood.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton exchanged nice messages after Tuesday’s election.

What a circus. Only in America do we let a billionaire and a multi-millionaire spend hundreds of millions of dollars to get a job that pays $400,000 a year, and then put them in charge of the economy.

New York, Chicago and Philadelphia had huge street demonstrations on Wednesday angry over the election results.

There’s sure to be more. California, Massachusetts, Nevada and Maine legalized pot smoking on Tuesday and they’re really going to be furious about Trump’s win next week.

The Cal-Exit movement was hatched in California the day after the election Wednesday to try to force a way for California to secede from the Union. It’s a doable deal. Slavery was never legal in California so in order to secede we’re going to have to cut the minimum wage to 50 cents an hour.

Donald Trump holed up in Trump Tower in New York Wednesday to begin the hard work of putting together his list of cabinet appointees. Trump’s

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

economic program is already working. He wasn’t the president-elect for a day and already Alec Baldwin landed four more years of steady work.

President Obama graciously congratulated Donald Trump Wednesday on his election.

Obama became a star at the Democratic convention 12 years ago when he announced there is no white, no black, no Hispanic and no Asian America, just one United States of America. Well, we showed him.

Chancellor Angela Merkel sent a snooty note to Donald Trump Wednesday. She said that U.S.-German relations are based on respect for people of all religions. The difference is, the Germans don’t have 200,000 troops based in the U.S. to make sure we don’t backslide on the issue.

Barbra Streisand, Rosie O’Donnell, Cher, Samuel Jackson, and Bryan Cranston were a few of the stars vowing to leave the U.S. if Trump got elected.

You’ve never seen so much hypocrisy in all your life. Donald Trump’s cabinet is likely to be so white it’ll probably be nominated for an Oscar.

George W. Bush and his dad George H.W. Bush both called Donald Trump to congratulate him on being elected U.S. president on Wednesday. In addi-

tion, Billy Bush has just landed a brand-new job hosting a show interviewing TV and movie stars where they live. It’s called Access Saskatchewan.

Hollywood stars raged on Twitter when Americans didn’t elect Hillary president Tuesday.

The entertainment industry has only itself to blame. Hollywood would be celebrating the first woman president today if only they’d ever relented and given Donald Trump an Emmy every few years or so.

Donald Trump received tepid congratulations from U.S. allies and world leaders on his election Wednesday. He strikes many foreigners as an authoritarian. If you thought that Donald Trump’s political rallies were scary during the campaign, wait until a year from now when they’re mandatory.

Donald Trump’s aides kept him on message the last two weeks by altering his Twitter account access. There’s no way in the world Trump could reactivate it. His aides changed the password to “there’s nothing sexier than a woman’s brains,” and he’d have never guessed it in a million years.

Donald Trump’s election cemented Arnold Schwarzenegger’s status as host of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice. Arnold told reporters Thursday that agreeing to marriage counseling was the biggest mistake he ever made. He and Maria still haven’t reconciled and the marriage counselor is pregnant.

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and two cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes.”

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

“Now,” said the professor as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things confirmation class - St. Malachy School; 6:45 p.m. religious education class for grades 1-8 - St. Malachy School.

– God, your family, children, health, friends and favorite passions – and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house and car. The sand is everything else – the small stuff.”

“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he said, “there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18 rounds. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled.

“I’m glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.” ~ from www.vscoc.org/Bulletinfdr/bulletin_fodder.htm Wednesday, 7:15 p.m. confirmation.

The concerns of the customer Dear Heloise: CUSTOMER SERVICE is so important. General-merchandise stores sell the exact same merchandise – it’s usually the service that makes the difference. As a customer, please pass along my hints to store employees: * Keep the sales floor clean and neat. I know customers can make a mess. * Please don’t engage in personal conversations with co-workers that I can overhear, and please don’t text on your cellphone when I’m asking you a question. * Monitor the fitting room. Politely tell me the rules, as some stores have different rules. * Make sure all items have their correct tags on them. * Be patient, as the new chip-reading cards take longer to process.

Thanks for letting me vent. – A Reader, via email Most stores want to make the customer happy, but there always are a few workers who stand out for good service. Tell them “thanks”! – Heloise SHOWER POWER Dear Heloise: I live alone, and my friends tease me about how I keep house.

But my shower, I have to say, is a lot cleaner since I learned this hint: I leave my shower door open after use. This allows the water to

Hints from Heloise evaporate and not turn into mold so easily.

I also run a squeegee over the walls every other day to further cut down on yuckiness. – T.C. in Ohio SUITCASE STORAGE Dear Heloise: I love the vintage suitcases from the 1960s. Some of my suitcases are designer and pricey.

To protect them and preserve their shape, I store my off-season clothes in them. And I throw in some sachets or used fabric-softener sheets for freshness. – Sam R., Arlington, Texas WET SEAL Dear Readers: A moistened coffee filter works wonders over a plate or bowl of food in the microwave. It keeps the moisture in the food, not escaping it! – Heloise IDENTIFYING PILLS Dear Heloise: Did you know that if you find a stray pill at the bottom of your purse or in a drawer somewhere, you can go to the computer and look up what the medication is?

There is a sequence of numbers printed on the pills.

Type that number into the computer; it will tell you what the pill is.

I wouldn’t use the pill, certainly, because you don’t know how old it is, and it’s probably dirty, but at least you will know what the medication is. – Pamela N., Bakersfield, Calif.

You are correct! Do not take a pill you find in your purse or otherwise – not safe, for many reasons. – Heloise P.S. While on the subject, if you have grandchildren or small children, be aware that they may find some pills in the bottom of your purse!

EASY OPEN Dear Heloise: Opening water and soda bottles for the first time can be hard, especially if you have pain issues like arthritis.

I have found that wrapping a rubber band around BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker the lid helps a lot. Just a few twists makes it easier to grab.

Horoscope For Friday, Nov. 11, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Because you have a tendency to think big today, don’t make promises you can’t keep. Stay realistic and keep your feet on the ground.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) At work today, do not gloss over small details. When you sweep a room, always take care of the corners, because the middle always handles care of itself, right?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Do not be too ambitious in your social plans today, because you might be tempted to pack in too much. Be more modest about your plans so that there is no pressure.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)This is an excellent day to relax at home and enjoy the company of parents and family members, especially females.

Be realistic in your expectations of others.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might be excited about future travel plans. Be careful today, because you’re tempted to bite off more than you can chew.

Give everything careful consideration.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Be careful with financial arrangements today, because you might go overboard. You might spend too much or expect too much. Easy does it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a feel-good day, which is why you want to kick back and relax. If you have to work, just do the bare minimum.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Be careful about glossing over little details today, because it’s easy to do this. Double-check your work for errors, including errors that others might make.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a playful day for your sign. Enjoy sports events, social activities with others and fun times with children. A saucy flirtation might be a little thrilling for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might choose to cocoon at home today or (quite the opposite) to entertain family and friends at home. The choice is yours. Either way, you certainly will want to be at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) During conversations with others today, be realistic about what you can deliver in the

future. Don’t let your own optimism make false promises to others.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Today the Moon can make you feel optimistic about financial matters. But there might be elements of smoke and mirrors and wishful thinking present. Be careful. Make sure you know what really is possible.

YOU BORN TODAY You are emotional and very passionate! Many of you are storytellers because you are

highly creative! Cultivate a headspace so you are ready to take advantage of opportunities that will arise in 2017, because 2017 is the year you’ve been waiting for! Expect a major change, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2006.

It’s time to test your future!

November 6-12, 2016 Dog Gone Rescue is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit

Creston Animal Rescue Effort (CARE)

is an all volunteer organization established in 1998.

We work alongside Animal Control in a facility owned by the City of Creston. CARE’s focus is providing for and adopting out the abandoned strays that are kept at the Creston City Pound. We receive no city or state funding and everything we do for the health, comfort, and protection of the “Pound Pets” is made possible by donations and fundraising. Dedicated to our mission, CARE volunteers host several Annual Fundraisers and encourage citizens of Creston to join us at Spay-ghetti Supper, Doggie Dash, Bright Eyes in the Park, Picture Your Pet, and our Gift and Bake Sale. Donations of pet related items and cleaning supplies allows us to use more of our fundraising money for veterinary care, advertising expenses and transfer fees.

DONATIONS ARE APPRECIATED C.A.R.E. accepts new and used pet related items, postage stamps, pet foods, Tidy Cat litter, gift certificates, money, dish soap, bleach, collars, leashes, toys and treats. Donation jars are located at Creston Vet Clinic; Southern Hills Vet Services; Great Western Bank; FNB; and State Savings Bank.

No-Kill animal shelter serving animals in need in Union and surrounding counties.

We are dedicated to helping reduce the number of unwanted, neglected & abandoned animals in our area by finding them loving permanent homes. All of our adoptables are spayed/neutered, microchipped, Heartworm, FIV/Leuk tested & current on shots. We also build & donate dog houses and/or straw to animals in need... good shelter is very important, especially in the winter months!

Needed Items: Cash donations to help pay for vet expenses; dry dog/cat food, cat litter (scoopable if possible); kennels; pet bedding; food bowls; collars/leashes and of course toys & treats are always appreciated too! All donated items are extremely helpful in caring for these animals until adopted, we couldn’t do it without the generosity & support from the community....each donation, no matter how small, really makes a difference, thanks so much!

Editors Note

A couple of housekeeping items to be aware of.

Due to space contraints in today’s paper, previews of Northern Iowa and Drake men’s basketball will both appear in Friday’s CNA. In Friday’s paper, there will be a number of features on local high school and college football players; including catching up with Mount Ayr product Joe Ricker and Creston native Dane Wardenburg, both involved with the football program at Iowa Western Community College.

Also in Friday’s CNA, Interstate 35 senior girls basketball player Gracey Griglione signed her letter-of-intent with Creighton Wednesday. The story can be found online at www. crestonnews.com and in Friday’s paper.

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, November 10, 2016

Southwestern Community College’s men’s basketball team was firing on all cylinders right from the opening whistle of Wednesday’s game against North Central Missouri College.

The Spartans opened the game on a 12-0 run and sprinted to a 54-31 halftime lead in rolling to a 112-80 victory.

SWCC hit from the outside in the first half, draining 10 3-point baskets.

“We got really quality looks early on,” said Southwestern Community College coach Todd Lorensen. “We had some guys knock them down.”

The scoring was well spread out. Jordan Johnson led the Spartans with a game-high 21 points. Brodric Thomas had 18 points.

Keshawn Wilson had 14 points, while Jamil Maddred and Calvin Chambers each had 10 points. Malachi Canada added nine points.

Maddred, Johnson, Wil-

son and Khallid Edwards each knocked down two triples in the first half.

“We’ve got a lot of guys who can make those shots,” Lorensen said. “We’ve got guys who can take it off the bounce, so when we space those teams out like that we’re getting really good looks. If you have good shooters and can get good looks, you’re going to make a lot of them.”

Nine Spartans scored in the first half and 13 in all.

“Give the guys credit, they’ve been very unselfish,” Lorensen said. “We’ve been doing a nice job of sharing the basketball and finding the open man and letting those guys make plays.”

Lorensen was pleased with how well the Spartans passed the ball, finding the open shooters for good looks.

“That’s something we really try to preach,” Lorensen said.

Spartan women’s basketball falls behind, can’t catch up in loss

Southwestern Community College turned the lights on for Wednesday’s women’s basketball game against North Central Missouri College, but the Lady Pirates’ Sarah Lamp turned them off.

Lamp scored 14 points in the first half on her way to 24 points as North Central Missouri College grabbed an early lead and held it throughout the night in a 7965 win.

“She’s a strong player,” Southwestern coach Addae Houston said. “With some of the things we talked about going into the game and how we wanted to execute against their offensive scheme, we were not focused enough.”

Southwestern trailed just 41-37 a few minutes into the Regular Session third quarter October after 31, 2016a 1-of-2

by Julanie Carter. The game had slowed up as physical play reigned for much of the third quarter. Fallyn Beemer (of Bedford) notched bucket after a couple Lady Pirate score kept it at a difference of four, 43-39.

North Central Missouri then proceeded to claw its way further ahead.

Free throws from Lamp, a pull-up jumper by Kendey Eaton, and a pair of free throws from Jami Nickerson extended the Lady Pirate lead to 10 at 49-39.

The score quickly jumped from 41-37 to 56-39 in a matter of minutes, as freshman Madison Gonseth, a Murray product, capped the run with a layup of her own to make the score 56-39.

Gonseth scored four points and contributed on the boards against an undersized group of Spartans.

Eaton had a big third

quarter, scoring 12 of her 14 points in the period to help keep the Spartans at bay.

Eriayana Frazier was one of the Spartans to pick up confidence as the game went along. She scored 10 points in the first quarter on her way to 17 points.

Carter picked things up in the second quarter and ended up with 11 points. Demir Alford kicked in 12.

Southwestern shot 32.9 percent from the floor (23of-70) and 18.8 percent from beyond the arc (6-of-32).

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

Is Harvick a lock?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Do you have an updated championship favorite now?

GODSPEAK: I’m riding with the No. 48 Chevy of Jimmie Johnson. Giddyup.

KEN’S CALL: I think we’ve learned not to count out Mr. Harvick.

That would be worth a small chuckle, assuming NASCAR was heading anywhere other than the Valley of the Sun this coming weekend. While he could thread the needle and make it to the Final 4 on points, it appears Kevin Harvick’s only chance is to win at Phoenix.

Again, racing anywhere else, you’d call Harvick’s odds long.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM TEXAS

But they’re not long?

As crazy as it sounds, given the equal playing field of high-quality teams and cars in today’s NASCAR, you can look at the trends and say, yep, Harvick is a lock to head to Homestead within arm’s reach of another Cup Series championship.

We’re nothing here if not trendy, and here’s the trend worth noticing: Harvick has won five of the past six Cup races at Phoenix International Raceway, which is actually in Avondale, but whatever.

Any surprises looming at Phoenix?

GODSPEAK: Only if Austin Dillon is still mad at Kevin Harvick on race day. That could get ugly quick.

KEN’S CALL: Only a mild one — a non-Chaser wins the race.

Can any remaining Chasers draw inspiration from the Cubs?

GODSPEAK: If the magic rubs off on believers, then give the Golden Glove to Kurt Busch, a big Cubs fan.

KEN’S CALL: No one today fits that bill, but Mark Martin could’ve used some titledrought magic in his day.

Five of six? That’s crazy

Chris Buescher won’t be the only driver with an asterisk next to his victory. He was joined by Carl Edwards at Texas on Sunday. GETTY IMAGES/BRIAN LAWDERMILK

1. Chris has company

2. No DiBenedetto

3. Memory loss

Chris Buescher was bashed for making the Chase on a fluke rainout at Pocono. Well, he has company. Carl Edwards made the Championship 4 Round after being declared the Texas winner due to rain.

“I can’t wait to go to Homestead,” he said. “It’s going to be a blast.”

NASCAR Cup driver Matt DiBenedetto missed Texas because he failed a concussion test and was replaced Sunday by Jeffrey Earnhardt.

Earnhardt’s uncle, Dale Earnhardt Jr., has missed the past 16 Cup races because of concussion-related health concerns.

Dale Jarrett, 59, the 1999 NASCAR champ turned NBC TV analyst, admits to memory loss. “I do struggle with (it) and things in my brain that probably came from concussions, from what I’ve been told,” he said. “Would it have happened anyway, without the concussions that I went through? I’m not sure.”

3 THINGS TO WATCH

when he finished second to Dale Earnhardt Jr. He won the title after winning Phoenix in 2014. “We have done it, I don’t know how many times. We will just go there and do what we always do,” he said.

1. Gibbs guys SPRINT CUP POINTS 1. Jimmie Johnson 1. Joey Logano 1. Kyle Busch 4. Matt Kenseth 5. Denny Hamlin 6. Kevin Harvick 7. Carl Edwards 8. Kurt Busch 9. Martin Truex Jr. 10. Brad Keselowski 11. Chase Elliott 12. Kyle Larson 13. Austin Dillon 14. Tony Stewart 15. Jamie McMurray 16. Chris Buescher 17. Kasey Kahne 18. Ryan Newman 19. AJ Allmendinger 20. Ryan Blaney 21. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 22. Trevor Bayne 23. Danica Patrick 24. Greg Biffle 25. Paul Menard 26. Aric Almirola 27. Clint Bowyer 28. Casey Mears 29. Landon Cassill 30. Michael McDowell

Maybe in today’s climate, but not historically. Rather recently, Jimmie Johnson won five of six at Charlotte.

Richard Petty, of course, put together streaks of dominance at many tracks, including eight of nine at Richmond.

Rusty Wallace won five times in seven starts at Martinsville, where Fred Lorenzen won four straight in the mid-’60s.

Darrell Waltrip once won six of seven at North Wilkesboro, which sounds really good until you’re reminded he once won seven of seven at Bristol.

Boogity-boogity-boogity!

4074 4074 4074 4073 4072 4056 4049 4040 2265 2234 2223 2209 2192 2166 2165 2143 866 850 773 764 743 728 655 642 620 618 593 510 489 462

At least one Joe Gibbs Racing driver will be upset and inconsolable after the upcoming race at Phoenix.

Jimmie Johnson and JGR driver Carl Edwards have punched their tickets to the Championship Round, leaving three Gibbs drivers to fight for the last two positions. And, by the way, they line up fourth, fifth and sixth in Chase points right now, with Kyle Busch on the bubble. Good luck.

3. Not so fast

Carl Edwards hides his face from his three Gibbs Racing teammates, who must now battle for the last two open spots in the Chase Championship. AP/LARRY

2. Gotta give

PAPKE

Yes, something’s gotta give when it comes to Kevin Harvick and his ability to pull out victories at Phoenix. In

his past six starts at the funky 1-mile oval, Harvick has won five times. His streak ended in last year’s November race

Before Harvick heads to the desert track, he better send flowers over to driver Austin Dillon and his crew chief Slugger Labbe. Harvick and Dillon tangled at Texas, and Dillon went into the wall. There’s history here. Dillon replaced Harvick when he left after 2013. “He didn’t check (up), but he had the opportunity to. He didn’t like it that the ‘silver-spoon kid’ was out running him,” Dillon said. Driver, beware.

Harvick

AUSTIN DILLON VS. KEVIN HARVICK: Harvick put Dillon’s No. 3 Chevy into the wall, and crew chief Slugger Labbe indicated a payback might be coming Harvick’s way at Phoenix. His voice was chilling.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Uh-oh. Here is what Slugger said: “He flat-out wrecked you, man. Just write down that number.

We’re going to Phoenix next week. He’s gonna have to win; we don’t. That’s crazy man.”

MUSICAL: CONT. FROM | 1A

fits the student cast well.

There are more than 60 cast members in total.

“It’s the story of a rockstar named Conrad Birdie (David Qualseth), who is being drafted in the ‘50s. It’s kind of a parallel to Elvis Presley going into the Army,” Warner said. “His agent composes a new song called ‘One Last Kiss,’ hoping if they do a promotional stunt and have Conrad Birdie kiss one of the girls from his fan club in this small town in Sweet Apple, Ohio, that will generate so much interest with Conrad’s fan club that they will then buy the record.”

Conrad seeks to give this one last kiss before going into the Army to a teenage girl, Kim MacAfee (Maya Struhar), who has recently begun going steady with her boyfriend, Hugo Peabody (Jake Hitz).

“Hugo doesn’t like the idea, of course, that she’s going to be kissed by this rockstar,” Warner said. “There’s also a subplot with the manager, Albert Peterson (Tyler Peters), and his secretary, Rose Alvarez (Livi Hartman), who is his love interest, and they’re trying to work their way into having a relationship with one another despite problems with the business and Albert’s over-bearing mother, Mae Peterson.”

Also, a large portion of the

plot focuses on the reactions of Kim’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. MacAfee (John Reasoner and Bailey Hopkins), to their daughter’s interest in the rock ‘n’ roll scene.

“Mr. MacAfee is really tightly wound, and he’s very strict. So, when this Conrad Birdie character comes into his life, it upsets the balance he’s created in his house, and he’s really on edge for almost the whole show,” said Reasoner, CHS junior. “He’s very exaggerated with all his emotions, and I think people, especially parents, will really Reasoner connect with him.

It’s been fun to bring out the crazy, wild, angry side of someone like that.”

The show is co-directed by Jerry Huffman of Crest Area Theatre with choreography

by Leslie Tyler of Leslie’s Dance and Tumbling.

Warner said the cast has enjoyed emulating the ‘50s-era rock music and styles of the all-ages show.

Before opening night Friday, a main focus will be ensuring the costumes correctly portray the time period.

“It does have some classical, typical kind of musical themes, but then it has two or three places where it’s just straight-ahead 50s rock, like rockabilly music,” she said.

“The audience will love it.”

One strength Warner sees

for this show is the set. Her husband, AJ Warner, built a two-story, rotating platform for set changes.

“It’s pretty spectacular, really. I don’t know how he managed it,” Warner said.

“One of the challenges to this show is ... the scenes are so large and critical that you have to be able to show each scene and move between them easily, so I brought that to AJ, and he was excited for the challenge.”

Another strength with “Bye Bye Birdie” is character development, Warner said.

“Conrad Birdie is a hard character to play. It’s tough to do an imitation of a 20-year-old Elvis Presley and have that attitude, but David Qualseth is doing a fantastic job,” she said. “Tyler Peters, Conrad’s manager and a momma’s boy, is a triple threat – he can dance, sing and act. ... And, Livi Hartman plays Rose, and she has a phenomenal voice.”

“Rose’s character really develops throughout the musical,” Hartman said. “I’ve had a lot of fun playing her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better show to end my senior year.”

Reasoner agreed, noting “Bye Bye Birdie” is different than shows they have done in the past.

“It’s a lot more of a straight-up comedy than what we’ve done before,” he said. “It never has a boring moment. It’s always just zipping along.”
