The house at 501 S. Elm St. in Creston — currently being constructed by Union County Development Association (UCDA) and Southwestern Community College (SWCC) — is about 30 percent complete.

College carpentry students enjoyed warm temperatures Monday while working to install soffit and fascia at the house, but cold temperatures starting Tuesday forced them to shift gears.

“Monday was probably our last day working on the exterior. The rest will have to wait until spring unless we get some kind of warm spell,” said Dennis Downing, car-

“This cold spell has allowed us to get back into the class-

room and begin calculating steps and building a small set,” Downing said. “Stairs will be one of our first projects once we begin work inside.”

nine second-year students in the class this year.

Downing said this house has two bedrooms and one bathroom on the 940-squarefoot main floor. The unfinished basement will have a large laundry room and an egress window, which will allow the buyer to add a third bedroom in the future, if desired.

“A second bathroom will also be able to be added in the basement pretty easy,” Downing said.

This house will not have a garage.

Downing said one difference with this house — compared to others built by SWCC on Elm Street — is that it will have more of a mission style interior design compared to the colonial style in others.

A price for this house will not be listed until construction is complete. However, if you are interested, call Wayne Pantini at (641) 7822003.

ATLANTIC (AP) — Prosecutors say a western Iowa mother accused of lying about her young daughter’s cancer diagnosis has accepted a plea deal.

Cass County Attorney Daniel Feistner said late Thursday that 30-year-old Leatha Slauson took the deal but the details of it won’t be released until Monday.

It’s unclear how Slauson will plead or what penalties she could face.

Slauson is accused of telling her community that her 5-year-old daughter had terminal cancer and collecting donations for her treatment. An investigation this year determined the child was not sick.

Slauson previously pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, including child endangerment.

The child and her siblings have remained in the custody of their father since Slauson’s arrest in Aug. 21.

Connie was a member of Corning United Methodist Church, where she had served as church secretary, was a member of Mary Martha Circle and UMW and was active in the quilting group.

She served funeral lunches and taught Sunday school and Bible school. Connie also volunteered at various other organizations throughout the Corning community.

IOWA CITY (AP) — An appeals court on Thursday ordered a new trial for an Iowa man convicted of murder in his best friend’s death, saying a juror’s Facebook contact with the victim’s mother and other actions showed improper bias.

The second-degree murder conviction of Tyler Webster is tainted by the juror’s friendly relationship with the victim’s family, which wasn’t disclosed during jury selection, the Iowa Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision.

Webster, formerly of Fairfield, shot 32-year-old Buddy Frisbie twice in the head in a camper after a night of partying on Aug. 25, 2012.

He was charged with first-degree murder. At trial, Webster said he shot Frisbie to stop the rape of Frisbie’s girlfriend. But the woman testified that she was engaged in consensual activity with Frisbie at the time.

Jurors found Webster guilty of second-degree murder. He was sentenced to 50 years in prison — with a mandatory minimum of 35 years before his release.

The juror’s relationship with Frisbie’s relatives came to light near the end of the trial. Employees at the Washington County Courthouse, where the female juror worked, informed the judge they were surprised the woman was selected because of the relationship. The juror’s daughter was a close friend of Frisbie’s sibling.

Baskets include meat, canned goods donated through efforts of Boy Scouts and school and community projects and certif-

Each child 19 and younger will also receive a gift certicate for clothing items.

Under questioning from the judge, the juror said she could set aside that relationship and rule on the case impartially.

She remained part of the 12-member panel that found Webster guilty of second-degree murder.

But days after the trial, Webster’s defense learned the juror was friends with Frisbie’s mother on Facebook and that Frisbie’s mother had wished her a happy birthday weeks before. During the trial, the juror had “liked” a post from Frisbie’s mother in which she wrote “give me strength.”

After the verdict, Frisbie’s mother wrote on Facebook that the family had wanted a first-degree murder conviction but could “now move forward as best we can.” The juror responded, “I wish you could have gotten murder in 1st degree. I can safely say that this was a very hard decision. I could talk to you more about it if you wanted at some point.”

The juror had also testified she believed Frisbie’s family was “good people” while Webster was “mouthy” and “aggressive.” Taken together, her actions show a bias that was unfair to Webster, who was entitled to have 12 impartial jurors consider whether his actions were justified, Judge Richard Doyle wrote for the majority.

Dissenting Judge Christopher McDonald said he would have upheld the trial judge’s ruling that the juror wasn’t biased.

Make moss take a hike Dear Heloise: I have a patio on the lower level of our house that is covered by a large deck.

Every fall, this porch is covered with bright green MOSS — even the ground around the porch is covered. What can you suggest that will remove this thick covering of moss? — Nancy S., Knoxville, Tenn.

A tried-and-true Heloise hint! Moss can be ugly, but it’s easy to scare away and keep away! First, scrub off as much as possible with a brush.

You can use a stiff broom, or a push broom if the patio is a large space.

The next step? Kill it! You can use full-strength (5 percent), cheap white or apple-cider vinegar. I just pour it on the driveway, let it sit about 30 minutes, scrub and let dry. No need to rinse. Please see the photo of my driveway where I tested some vinegar at www.

Heloise.com.

The other option? Regular (not scented) household bleach (6 percent sodium hypochlorite) and water. The suggested ratio is 1/2 cup bleach to 1 gallon of water.

Stronger is NOT better, according to the manufacturers and experts in the field. Apply and let work for at least five to 10 minutes, scrub again and rinse off. If there is vegetation

Hints from Heloise where the runoff might go, do rinse with water first to avoid any damage to the plant life.

TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: When traveling, it’s sometimes hard to tell which clothes are dirty. When I take clothes off, I turn them inside out. I can see which have been worn and which are clean. When I get home, I can throw them right into the washer. — Ray from New York Love the travel hint! I put the dirty ones in a plastic laundry bag from the hotel. No guessing or odor! — Heloise LOST FAMILY PHOTOS Dear Heloise: A family member had damage to his home and lost all of his family photos.

Horoscope Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Travel for pleasure and a chance to talk to people from different backgrounds will thrill you today. The bottom line is this: You want to have fun! (It’s a good date day.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Family discussions will go well today, especially about inheritances, shared property and anything having to do with shared expenses. People are willing to cooperate today.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You can get a lot done by working in tandem with someone today, especially a partner or close friend. Their energy will keep you going, and vice versa.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a productive day at work, no question. You’re prepared to work hard to get results, and at the same time, you are observant and caring about others.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The Moon is still in your sign!

Fortunately, things are much better than yesterday. Enjoy movies, sports events, the arts, the theater, playful times with children and all social occasions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Take some time to work alone or behind the scenes today, because you can do something to make a difference at home or for a family member.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might be pleased with how matters are settled regarding insurance issues or shared property. However, this is not your day to ask for a loan or mortgage. Don’t spend money today in any way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) Relations with partners and close friends are much improved today. What a relief.

Just go with the flow and enjoy the company of others, especially loved ones.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your efficiency at work might suffer somewhat due to shortages and delays. Just accept this, and don’t be too hard on yourself or others. Life is short (and fat).

YOU BORN TODAY You are patient, brave and never back down from a challenge.

You are also passionate and surprising in romance. (And memorable!) You plan when to speak and when to act. Settle your debts this year to prepare for financial accumulation in the next three years. To clear away indebtedness is the thrust of this year. Consolidate your affairs for future growth.

HEALTH

How to manage your weight and still enjoy the holidays (BPT) - The holidays are here and for most people this is a busy and celebratory time. It’s a chance to reconnect with old friends and family you may not see the rest of the year, celebrate the season, exchange gifts, and share stories over dinner or dessert.

While celebrating can be a good thing, if you’re trying to manage your weight, those dinners and desserts can seem daunting. The good news is that there are ways to manage the situation successfully.

Molly Wangsgaard, MS, RD, NSCA-CPT, the director of nutrition at Curves/ Jenny Craig, says it is possible to survive the holiday season without sacrificing your weight-management plan. Below are some of her tips to help you keep on track: * Don’t skip meals to save all of your calories for the big feast. Follow your healthy meal plan for the day (Jenny Craig promotes eating five to six times a day) so you are not starving by dinner time and you can enjoy your holiday favorites in moderation. * Take detours to avoid

temptation. Think: out of sight, out of mind. During the holidays, gift baskets with calorie-laden treats are seemingly around every corner, so try to avoid the communal room at the office where the treats are left. * Bring a beautiful vegetable platter to the party so you will have plenty to munch on without breaking the calorie bank. Fill up the majority of your plate with the healthy veggies, then add small portions of the more indulgent treats so you can enjoy them without overindulging. Plus, maybe your healthy eating will encourage others. * Think before you drink.

Yes, you can have alcohol and still lose weight. Just opt for something a little lower in calories, like a wine spritzer (only 60 calories) or a flute of champagne (about 80-100 calories), instead of a traditional cocktail. And beware ... those eggnog concoctions are full of fat and calories. * Turn holiday shopping into an opportunity to get moving. Park farther away from the door while at the mall, and take the stairs in-

stead of the escalator. And, above all, enjoy the holiday season. Spend time on the dance floor at your company holiday party, or play in the snow with your kids to burn some extra calories and relieve stress. * Reward yourself for the healthy choices you are making with non-food treats. Enjoy a relaxing bub-

ble bath to ease stress and take some time for yourself.

Pick up your favorite holiday-scented candle when you’re out running errands.

Give yourself 10 minutes a night to read the latest bestseller. * Get a jump on your New Year’s resolution. Rather than waiting until January to start up a new fitness

routine, start adding some activity into your day during the holidays. Make a plan to meet a friend for a brisk walk a few days a week, or track your steps with a pedometer and increase each week. By the time the new year rolls around, you’ll be ready to start a workout routine that incorporates both strength training and

cardio (think Curves!) for a full body workout and a healthier 2015.

Using the tips above can help you celebrate guilt-free and enjoy a healthy holiday season. To find more weight-management tips for the holiday season, visit Curves on Facebook and Twitter and Jenny Craig on Facebook and Twitter.

Steppin’ into a good mood In 1970, when John Cleese premiered The Ministry of Silly Walks on “Monty Python’s Flying Circus,” he stepped into the comedy hall of fame. No one who remembers that high-stepping goofiness or tries to imitate it can keep a straight face.

That’s because, as researchers from Canada’s Queen’s University, natch, discovered recently, HOW you walk affects your memory and mood. In fact, your gait can transform your outlook from grumpy to gleeful or happy to horrible, and alter whether your recollections of recent experiences are negative or positive.

So whenever you head out — always with your constant companion, a pedometer — take a couple of seconds to examine your body’s position. Think about the message it’s sending your brain. Are your shoulders back and relaxed (“I’m proud of myself and glad to face the world”)? Or are they slumped forward (“I’m tired and not looking forward to what’s coming”)?

Is your core strong (“I feel confident”), or is your belly protruding and your back straining to stay straight (“I’m discouraged”)? If needed, adjust your posture: Stand up straight; eyes straight ahead; shoulders slightly down and back; tummy in. And make sure you’re wearing shoes that put a spring in your step.

Now, it’s your turn to do a highspirited, even silly, walk.

You’ll be surprised how it makes you feel more positive. And it’s contagious!

Folks you encounter will be happier, too (thanks to mirror neurons, but that’s an-

Weekly health tips Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. and Dr. Michael Roizen, M.D.

other column). Didn’t know your walking style could do so much for so many, did ya?

NOBODY LIKES A BRAGGART (BUT WE ALL LIKE A GOOD STORY!) From the department of “You Didn’t Really Say That,” we bring you a new study: “The Unforeseen Costs of Extraordinary Experiences.” In this journal article, the researchers reached some, well, we’ll be polite here, dubious conclusions: They claim people who share their extraordinary experiences — such as skydiving or traveling to exotic locales — with others often become social outcasts and “people may pay a surprising price for the experiences they covet most.” They also imply that if you’re smart, you’ll either skip extraordinary experiences or keep them to yourself so you don’t encounter social rejection. Using that logic, Christopher Columbus never should have told Queen Isabella about the New World. John Glenn should have stayed mum about orbiting Earth. And effective group therapy?

Fuggadaboudit!

We think that the lesson learned is altogether different: You’ll pay a social price if you’re a snob or a braggart.

By all means, tell your tale, but when you recall your trip to Antarctica, for example, start with the phrase, “Wish you were there —

it would have been more fun!” and encourage listeners to jump into the conversation. Then you’ll make new friends and strengthen bonds with old ones. That’ll build a stronger social network of folks with whom you share interests, an important way to help manage stress, fend off depression, and increase longevity. Plus, new research shows openness and conscientiousness to experiences and toward others helps ward off arthritis, stroke, heart disease and high blood pressure. So what were you going to say about your vacation?

GUYS GETTING HEALTHIER George Carlin ID’d today’s every-guy in his comic rap, Modern Man, as a “fully equipped, factory-authorized, hospital-tested, clinically-proven, scientifically formulated medical miracle.” And while that paints an image of a hyper-healthy 21st-century male, it’s missing some 21st-century medical facts. Fellas, the truth is: You’re underscreened, doctor-phobic and more than occasionally out of the loop.

Women are 100 percent more likely than men to see a doctor about preventive care, and that’s created a wellness gap. Your life expectancy is 76.4 years; it’s 81.2 for women. And if you’re 55 to 64, you’re far more likely to face the threat of heart disease, car wrecks and alcohol-related conditions.

But it doesn’t stop there.

The wellness-gap is especially noticeable when it comes to sexual health. Most women see a gyno regularly for pelvic exams, mammograms and more. Men usually don’t get a check-up for sexual issues until something comes up (or fails to). It doesn’t help that GPs are notoriously bad at talking to patients about their sexual concerns, activities or orientation.

So guys, listen up! It’s time to start the conversation with your doc about your sexual health. Here are the issues to discuss. No. 1: Safe-sex practices. No. 2 Sexual problems, because the health of your sex organs reflects blood flow to your heart, kidneys, brain and other organs. No. 3 Drug, alcohol and tobacco use, because using tobacco and drinking increase your risk for HPV-related throat cancer. No. 4: Wrap it up by requesting screenings for sexually transmitted diseases. Now, aren’t you glad we had this chat?

WAIST NOT WANT NOT Talk about inflation!

What cost $25 in 1965 would ring up as $188.77 today.

And in 1965 the average woman’s waist size was 2425 inches; today, it’s 34-35 inches and growing. (Guys, a similar inflation is happening to you, but that’s for another column.) At the same time, the incidence of breast cancer in women age 25 to 39 has almost doubled; growing by more than 2 percent annually. And while the incidence in older women has recently declined, it’s still much higher than decades ago.

A new study brings these

two trends together: Looking at the medical history of 93,000 women 50 and older, U.K. researchers found that an increase in skirt size is the single strongest predictor of a woman’s risk for breast cancer. If you’ve expanded one skirt size from 10 to 12 or 16 to 18 in the past decade, your breast cancer risk balloons 33 percent. If you jump two sizes, it rises 77 percent! Seems more fat around the waist (and your internal organs) fuels inflammation, a known cancer trigger, and increases your body’s levels of estrogen, which some breast cancer cells gobble up.

So if you’re skirting the overweight line, your smart move is to lose 1 pound a week by eating nine servings of veggies and fruit daily; eliminating red meat, added sugars and syrups, and all trans and saturated fats; and starting a walking regimen that gets you to 10,000 steps a day (sharecare.com has an easy routine). It would be a waste not to try.

DON’T BE A SODA JERK In “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” the prankster twins Fred and George Weasley drink an Aging Potion so they’ll appear old enough to enter the Triwizard Tournament.

But they’re prevented from crossing the Age Line (clever Dumbledore) and immediately grow long white beards! No real harm done, save temporary humiliation.

But drinking today’s Aging Potion — sugary sodas and beverages — will get you in bigger trouble. You damage your telomeres, those protective bits of DNA at the end of your

chromosomes, speeding up the natural aging process and making it more likely you’ll develop inflammation and insulin resistance, and shorten your life! One more reason to let soda fizzle out of your diet.

Are you thinking, “I can’t do that!” Dr. Mike had a super-soda habit and beat his (he gave up sugar and sugar substitutes in his coffee at the same time) thanks to the intervention of Dr. and Mrs. Oz. Here are three tricks to help you kick the habit, too!

—Mix 1/2 gallon of water with lemons, limes, oranges, pomegranate, grapefruit (any or all) every day! Refill your BPA-free water bottle throughout the day.

—Post on your refrigerator door: “ONE 20-ounce sweet soda equals about 250 calories; I can burn them off with a 5-mile walk or a 50-minute run.” Better choice — just drink lemon/ lime water.

And remember: No more soda or sugared beverages (unless you are doing more than two hours of continuous cardio). Then you’ll lose weight; ease depression; improve your love life; and achieve a much younger RealAge! *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

SPORTS The Numbers Game

53

The number of points the Dallas Mavericks defeated the winless Philadelphia 76ers by in a 123-70 victory Thursday.

It was the largest margin of victory in team history.

National Digest

Kershaw sweeps Clayton Kershaw became the first pitcher to win the National League Most Valuable Player award in nearly a half-century, coasting to an easy victory Thursday.

Kershaw, who also took home the NL Cy Young award for the third time Wednesday, is the first NL pitcher to sweep both awards since Bob Gibson in 1968.

The Dodgers ace beat out Miami slugger Giancarlo Stanton and Pittsburgh outfielder Andrew McCutchen for the honor announced Thursday.

Kershaw got 18 of 30 firstplace votes and 355 points in balloting by members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

Kershaw said he was shocked when his name was called on Thursday though fans had chanted, “MVP!” fairly routinely at Dodger Stadium late in the season when Kershaw was walking off the mound toward the dugout, something he said gave him goose bumps.

Rose hurt?

TORONTO — Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose injured his left hamstring late in Thursday night’s 100-93 win over the Toronto Raptors and did not return.

Rose will be re-evaluated Friday but did not seem too concerned about the injury after the game.

“I guess it’s cramps in my hamstrings,” Rose said. “But I think it’s minor, and they decided to pull me out.”

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau thought an MRI on the hamstring was likely for Friday, but Rose was hopeful he wouldn’t have to have one. He said he would be getting ice and stimulation treatments, and left open the possibility he might be able to practice Friday.

CEDAR FALLS — Sioux City Bishop Heelan will defend its Class 3A state football championship next week after steamrolling Creston/Orient-Macksburg Thursday, 59-14, in the Panthers’ first-ever semifinal appearance at the UNIDome.

The second-ranked Crusaders will play No. 1 Pella for the 3A crown at 7:06 p.m. Thursday. It will be Heelan’s third straight appearance in the championship game and sixth in the last eight seasons.

Senior running back Tony Tobin rushed for 245 yards on 20 carries with three touchdowns. Quarterback Nick McCann completed 9 of 11 passes for 122 yards and four scores as the Crusaders won their 12th

Members of the 2014 Creston/O-M football team present their state semifinal trophy to the Panther crowd at the UNIDome in Cedar Falls Thursday evening. The Panthers finish the season with a record of 10-3. It was the program’s first-ever semifinal appearance at the UNI-Dome.

straight game since losing to Sioux City East in week one.

Tobin pushed his season rushing total to 1,483 yards before giving way to freshman Saybein Clark midway through the third quarter, when the game reached the 35-point running clock at 42-7.

Trout wins Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout was named the unanimous 2014 American League MVP on Thursday night.

Trout finished second in MVP voting both of his first two seasons, losing to Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera. He joins Mickey Mantle as the only players who finished as MVP runner-up in consecutive seasons before winning in the following season.

Despite being a twotime runner-up for the award, Trout told MLB Network the possibility of winning his first MVP didn’t enter his mind until after the season.

Trout, 23, is the fifth-youngest winner of the award and the youngest to win in a unanimous vote.

He was tops in the AL with 111 RBIs this season and batted .287 with a career-high 36 home runs.

He led the league in both runs scored (115) and total bases (338). He is the first AL MVP to win by unanimous vote since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1997.

Creston/O-M quarterback Alex Nielsen attempts to shed a tackler during the Class 3A semifinal game Thursday against Sioux City Bishop Heelan at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. Nielsen finished 10-20 passing for 155 yards.

Creston/O-M’s record-breaking season ended at 10-3. After answering Heelan’s first drive with a touchdown pass of 33 yards from Alex Nielsen to McClain Haines to make it 7-7, the Panthers’ offense averaging 36 points per game was shut out until Chase Shiltz’s 4-yard touchdown run with 4:39 left in the game.

Nielsen was under constant duress from the relentless Crusader pass rush and rarely had an opportunity for the big strike this Panther offense was known for, as recently as last week’s 50-49 quarterfinal win at sixth-ranked Dallas Center-Grimes.

Nielsen did connect with Conner Pals for a diving catch on a 34-yard gain in the first quarter during the 75-yard scoring drive. But overall it was a frustrating night for the Panthers’ alltime single season passing leader. He completed 10-of20 passes for 155 yards and two interceptions, with one touchdown.

“Their D line got after it.

It’s the best D line we’ve seen all year,” Nielsen said. “Fourteen (Tucker

Spears) is a player.

They fly around.

They’re a good team.”

“They are phys- Morrison ical up front and we knew it,” Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison said. “They did some good things offensively, things that looked like we were in position to make the play and we didn’t and they scored a ton of points.

They stopped the home run with their front seven. They got pressure on us. Not discrediting our kids up front, it’s just one of those deals where you have to bide time to get kids open. Hats off to Heelan, they’re good in all phases of the football game.”

After Creston/O-M tied the game with 4:59 left in the first quarter, Heelan answered with a steady 66yard drive capped by an 11yard TD pass from McCann to Joe Kayl.

McCann found Brett Buchmann open for a 24-yard scoring strike early in the second quarter, making it

21-7.

After another Panther three-and-out possession, Tobin scampered 50 yards on a play to run his total to 164 yards already. He then carried into the end zone from 11 yards to extend the lead to 28-7 with 6:23 left in the half.

Empty drive That’s when the Panthers appeared to stay in contention with a strong six-minute drive. On fourth-andeight from the Heelan 38, Nielsen threw to Shiltz for a 22-yard pickup at the Crusader 16.

On third-and-goal from the 6-yard line with 33 seconds left in the half, Nielsen threw incomplete. Coach Morrison and offensive coordinator Ryan McKim opted to go for it, with Shiltz taking the pitchout and stopping to throw a halfback pass in the right corner of the end zone for Bryce Briley.

The play was well-defended by Heelan, with Buchmann picking it off for Heelan to run out the clock Please see PANTHERS, Page 9A

CEDAR FALLS — The score may have been lopsided, but it wasn’t lost on the Creston/O-M Panthers that they were supported in much bigger fashion Thursday in the UNI-Dome than their opponent.

Maybe it’s hold hat for Sioux City Bishop Heelan fans, who have witnessed two titles and five championship game appearances in seven years. Maybe Crusader fans were, for the most part, waiting for championship day on Nov. 20.

In any event, the large black-clad contingent on the east side of the UNI-Dome cheering on the Panthers was impressive, in comparison. (Likewise, the Pella Little Dutch fans outnumbered Cedar Rapids Xavier in Thursday’s second semifinal.)

“I’ve never seen that m a n y Creston fans in one spot, ever,” Tamerius said Panther senior linebacker Alex Tamerius. “It was a great feeling

to be that team that all those fans came out to see.”

Cornerback Sam Hartsock, busy against Heelan’s outside running attack — with 10 tackles second only to linebacker Seth Maitlen’s 11 — agreed with Tamerius’ comments.

“Our fans are unreal,” Hartsock said, his voice cracking with emotion.

“That was the best experience of my life.”

Hartsock realizes this team was considered unlikely to become one of the best

in program history when the season began.

Quarterback Brandon Phipps, 1,000yard rusher Adam Hartsock Baker and allstaters Trevor Frain and Nathan Haley were among several key graduates last year.

“We have some stars like (Alex) Nielsen and (Chase)

Shiltz,” Hartsock said, “but mostly we’re a bunch of nobodies who became somebody.”

Lineman Tayler Pettit sat alone in the tunnel afterward, hit hard by the realization this was the end of the road in a remarkable season of record achievements, not the least of which was the program’s first advancement to the UNI-Dome.

“I don’t really have words for it,” he said, after walking the rest of the way to the team’s dressing room. “It

was amazing. It was nice making history this season. I just wish we could h a v e Pettit pushed it a little farther.”

PANTHERS: Continued from Page 7

and take a 28-7 lead into the break.

Creston/O-M drove from its own 28 to the Crusader 5-yard line in 16 plays, and got no points out of it.

That seemed to be the Panthers’ last gasp.

“That was probably the turning point of the game,” said Heelan coach Roger Jansen. “Our defense has played well all season and they put together another one tonight.”

“If we make it 28-14 there and we get the ball in the second half right away, that’s what we want,” Morrison said. “We thought offensively we could still get some strikes at them.”

After the game, McKim reflected on the series.

“I probably panicked a little when they stopped us on first and five at the 5,” McKim said. “In our heavy tank personnel, from five yards we should be able to do that against anybody in the state.

So, I’m not really pleased with myself on that.”

Costly turnovers Then, the second half could not have started any worse for the Panthers’ hopes of making a comeback.

Tyler Smith, 215-pound Crusaders linebacker, forced a fumble by Shiltz on the first play of the third quarter and Odessa Clark recovered at the Panther 27-yard line. McCann found tight end Tucker Spears open down the middle on the next play for a touchdown to make it 35-7.

Buchmann got another interception on Creston/O-M’s next series, and with Briley nearly taking him down, Buchmann lateraled to Drew Kasperbauer, who took the ball deep into Panther territory at the 30, where Creston/O-M was also penalized for a late hit.

That set up a 15-yard touchdown pass from McCann to Buchmann. Suddenly it was 42-7 and the mercy rule running clock was in effect with 10:27 left in the third period. At that point McCann was 9-of-10 passing for 111 yards with four TDs, and Tobin had rushed for most of his career-high 245 yards.

“We put it on our offensive linemen,” Jansen said. “I told them if we can’t run the ball, we’re not going to be practicing anymore. They rose to the occasion. Tony did an unbelievable job running and Nick made great reads.

When we protect him he can be pretty accurate.”

“They didn’t run up the middle much,” said Panther cornerback Sam Hartsock.

“They were sweeping everything to the outside. Their wide receivers block very good. And if you get past them, the running back is obviously very good. I’d put him (Tobin) as the best back we faced all year. It’s the best team we played, hands down.”

Outside running

Morrison said his players were trying to get into position to slow down the sweep play, but Heelan’s physical execution made it difficult.

“Watching film at half, it looked like we had guys in position, they just made plays,” Morrison said. “They block well and running backs in open space did a phenomenal job of making us miss.

We had guys in space diving.

In open space you can’t dive, because you’re going to miss.

They were physical, breaking tackles.”

Tobin finished his day with a 3-yard touchdown with 3:30 left in the third period to make it 49-7.

Clark, a 6-0, 180-pound freshman, took over the sweep play’s continuing success in the fourth quarter and scored from 2 yards to make it 56-7 with 11:25 remaining.

The Panthers answered with their second scoring drive of the game, finally, capped by Shiltz’s TD run to make it 56-14.

The Crusaders tacked on a 31-yard field goal by Jason Sloniker, who also kicked eight extra points, with 28 seconds left for the final 5914 score. Just prior to that, the Crusaders picked up 69 yards when their only punt with four minutes left brushed Briley as he tried to catch it bouncing off the turf, and Heelan recovered at the Panther 14.

“The score tonight doesn’t really indicate how good of a football team they had,” Jansen said. “We got on them early, and those two turnovers at the start of the second half really dug them a hole they couldn’t get out of.”

Morrison also looked at the big picture of what this first state semifinal team from Creston/O-M accomplished just in getting to this game against the defending state champs.

“I’m proud of our kids,” Morrison said. “We didn’t have a lot of pieces in place when the season started.

They had an outstanding season. You have to strive to get back here. That’s what we want to instill in these kids.”

Meanwhile, Heelan looks for back-to-back championships for the first time against a top-ranked Pella team that beat Cedar Rapids Xavier 27-0.

“We just hope we have one more in us,” Jansen said.

“Now,” Morrison continued, “we have to strive to get back here. This was a building block in a process. That’s what we have to instill in our younger kids. They did a great job of bonding with these seniors

and responding to their leadership.”

Offensive coordinator Ryan McKim enjoyed his return to the Panther program where he once played, and served as a coach before moving to positions with Iowa State University and Oklahoma University. Despite the outcome of Thursday’s game, he said the season was an unforgettable experience.

“Our kids battled all year,” McKim said. “We had a great run and we have great kids in our program.

I wouldn’t trade them for anybody else.

“Now, this has to be the expectation,” McKim added. “That’s what these guys have done for our elementary and middle school kids.

Right now, we just have to celebrate the accomplishments these guys had.”

Outdoor news Duck migration Cold temperatures, snow and wind this week across the Dakotas and Minnesota are being watched closely by Iowa waterfowlers.

Migrating duck numbers have gradually been increasing in Iowa. This week’s weather will push lot of those northern birds south.

That is good news here for hunters, birdwatchers and other outdoor enthusiasts IF the ducks and geese stick around.

It’s important to look at the whole weather system, not just which way the wind is blowing, where--and on the days--you hunt.

“A lot of ducks are moving south, but how the weather system tracks is important,” reminds DNR waterfowl technician Al Hancock. “If we are sitting with west winds blowing out of the Dakotas and through Iowa, that’s optimal.”

However, he reminds hunters that it is important to look at the rotation of that storm cell; to track wind direction on the backside. If prevailing winds turn out of the southeast or south, it could set migrating ducks down for a couple days. If the north or westerly push continues, they could fly straight through.

Most internet weather sites now have wind maps available.

“We had a gradual increase in numbers through the third week of October; no major movements,” said

Hancock. “However in the last two weeks, we have seen bigger migration.”

He charts weekly counts, reported from refuges, hunting areas and other wetland locations across Iowa. The weekly statewide waterfowl report is at www.iowadnr. gov. Click on Hunting, then Migratory Birds, to find your way to the reports… filed each Friday.

From his vantage point last week, in the center of the Hawkeye Wildlife Area refuge, on the Iowa River corridor, one of those reporting DNR workers--wildlife biologist Tim Thompson--could see the number had climbed.

“I’m seeing more ducks coming in than going out.

Our count is over 14,000 total; up from about 5,500 the week prior,” noted

Thompson. “We have more mallards and green-winged teal; not as many pintail as earlier. We are picking up a few of the later migrants; a handful of common mergansers, some bufflehead.

There is still plenty of season remaining, though.”

On the Hawkeye area, Japanese millet and winter wheat, seeded in late summer, provide better fuel for their trip south than the smartweed, aptly named duckweed and other natural vegetation. That can hold waterfowl longer; so long as the weather is not warning them to keep pushing south.

Last week’s counts tallied at 72 statewide refuges and other wetlands went from 62,800 to 119,000, just days before strong north and west winds were expected to blow four to six inches of

snow into the Dakotas and Minnesota. The counts can change dramatically from day to day; depending on how many arrive and how many ‘short timers’ are pushed out.

Statewide, the counts— over the long term--provide a look at migration patterns; basically what comes through, when and for how long. That helps with season setting and better management of wildlife areas for the waterfowl.

He emphasizes that studying the weather charts, helps provide better decisions.

Iowa’s duck season, north of Highway 30, extends through December 7. South of 30, it continues through December 11. In the Missouri River zone, closing day is December 18.

Gaming commission OKs license for Iowa dog racing Among those conditions is updated information on security plans and how they will maintain the kennel compound and racetrack ■

DES MOINES (AP) — Live dog racing could have a home in Iowa for the next few years, a state commission said Thursday in issuing a license that gives a trade group authority to run the soon-to-be last dog racetrack in the state.

The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission approved a racetrack license for pari-mutuel wagering to the Iowa Greyhound Association during a monthly meeting in Altoona. It gives the group authority to operate the Dubuque Greyhound Park at Mystique Casino.

Commission administrator Brian J. Ohorilko said the IGA will need to update racing officials on several key issues before they can be operational on Jan. 1 for simulcasting. Live races next year are scheduled to run between late April and late October.

“They have some work that they need to get done between now and when they want to open in January,” he said.

Among those conditions is updated information on security plans and how they will maintain the kennel compound and racetrack.

The IGA has also not entered into any agreements for simulcasting.

“Those are all things that are typically subject to commission approval,” Ohorilko said.

IGA president Bob Hardison said he couldn’t comment on how the group will ensure it meets all the required conditions.

“We have a lot of work to do to get everything lined up,” he said.

The IGA had said in its license application that it intended to utilize existing

racetrack facilities. While the IGA has entered into a lease agreement for the space, it’s still negotiating other terms, Ohorilko said.

A state law approved earlier this year gave the IGA an initial nod to run dog racing at Dubuque beginning in 2015. Still, the commission needed to formally approve the racetrack license before the nonprofit group could proceed.

The racetrack in Dubuque is one of just two racetracks in the state. The other, at the Horseshoe Council Bluffs casino, will close at the end of 2015 as part of the law. That means Dubuque will be the sole location for live dog racing in the state beginning in 2016.

The law relinquishes Mystique and the Council Bluffs casino from having to pay subsidies that help keep dog racing afloat in the state. In exchange, the casinos must pay $72 million over several years that will be split between the IGA and dog breeders and owners.

It means the IGA will have $36 million to operate the racetrack. The group said in its application that “this dedicated fund is more than enough to cover operations for live racing for the first five year lease the IGA will enter regarding the facility.”

Despite this, Ohorilko said further proof of adequate financing still needs to be met, “just to make sure that they have the means and wherewithal to do what they’re telling us that they want to do.”

Though the license will need to be renewed annually, the commission’s decision Thursday sets up live dog racing in the state for several years. The IGA was the only group seeking the license, a fact that Ohorilko said did not create pressure to approve it.

“We just looked at the application at hand,” he said. “I don’t think there was anything else .... that went into the decision-making.”
