Sanders, Fiorina win Creston’s youth caucus Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina were the most popular candidates among Creston students at Union County’s Iowa Youth Caucus held Thursday at Creston High School.

This was the first year for the free, bipartisan event,

which teaches Iowa teenagers about the importance and formats of the Iowa caucuses.

The event was launched

by Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate in conjunction with the state’s Democratic and Republican parties.

Twenty-two counties are participating statewide,

and nearly 1,000 Iowa students have cast their votes for a Republican and Democratic candidate so far, with one county yet to vote. In Creston, 15 students voted at the event.

Statewide, Sanders is the highest vote-getter overall with 52.7 percent of the Democratic vote. Retired

neurosurgeon Ben Carson leads all Republican candidates with 22.3 percent.

See the infographic, right, for how Creston’s students voted, compared to statewide results and the latest nationwide Bloomberg poll.

Also, see photos of the event on page 2A.

GETTING DIRTY

Do-it-all automotive technician Andrew Heaton has tuned up, repaired vehicles at Creston Automotive for five years.

ndrew Heaton didn’t grow up working on cars or come from a family who did. His father is a banker, and people often ask Heaton why he didn’t choose that route, too.

“I like getting dirty,” he said. “I hate sitting behind a desk, and I hate wearing a tie. I always said I’d never have a job where I have to wear a button-up shirt.”

He looked down at his Creston Automotive shirt: a short-sleeved button-up.

“OK, I failed at that part,” he said with a laugh.

Heaton has a degree in automotive repair from Southwestern Community College (SWCC). He’s been an automotive technician at Creston Automotive for five years and has been trained extensively. He is committed to, and capable of, solving nearly any issue that comes through the door.

But he tries not to take it all too seriously.

Andrew Heaton and Brian Andreasen, both automotive technicians at Creston Automotive, listen to a client’s concerns about his vehicle Tuesday morning.

One time, Heaton was given an estimate ticket, which is supposed to detail the issue a client is having with his or her vehicle. But the ticket just said “missing” and had no other information.

“I hit the panic button on the key fob and said, ‘There it is. Tell the customer not to lose his car again,’” he said.

Heaton, 25, of Corning, began the SWCC automotive program during

his senior year at Corning High School. After graduating from SWCC, he took the job at Creston Automotive, a Ford dealership.

While Heaton’s education has equipped him to work on any brand of vehicle, being at a Ford dealership has brought him to prefer Fords. Plus, his ongoing training the past five years has been Ford-focused.

“Just because it’s a car doesn’t mean it does

things the same way as another car,” Heaton said.

“Being Ford-certified, I know how Ford does things and how to diagnose that system. If you give me a car from another company, and it does things differently, it gets confusing.”

On Tuesday morning, Heaton tried to work on a car, but the part he had for it wouldn’t fit.

The 2015 Union County Christmas Basket Fund campaign is underway.

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

To date, $1,279 has been contributed.

Last year, 550 baskets serving more than 1,200 people were distributed. Residents of care centers in Creston and Afton received fruit and Kleenex.

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

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

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

Along with providing food baskets and certificates to those in need at Christmas, monetary and food donations are used by The Christmas Basket Fund to provide assistance throughout the year. Those organizations are MATURA, Food for Life, Ministerial Alliance, open table and the food pantry.

The Christmas Basket Fund board is assisted in packing and distributing baskets by the local BASKET | 2A

HEATON: CONT. FROM | 1A

“Yeah, that’s what I thought – not the right part,” he said.

He walked over to the parts manager, Charlie Hensel, and asked him to order a different part. It would take at least a day for the right part to come in, so Heaton was ready to work on another vehicle for the time being.

Next on the agenda was a Frito-Lay truck with something wrong with one of its spark plugs.

“That sounds like fun,” Heaton said.

He lifted the hood, then got inside the truck and examined some parts.

“Ahh, yeah. This is supposed to be screwed into the motor,” Heaton said,

holding a spark plug from the Frito-Lay truck.

While waiting for an estimate ticket for the Frito-Lay truck, he worked on a white Ford F350.

“I need fuel filters for that white one,” Heaton said to Hensel.

At Creston Automotive, working on vehicles is a continuous cycle and requires teamwork.

“When a vehicle comes in, the customer says what’s wrong, a mechanic checks it out, he figures out what (parts) he needs, I look up the parts and give him prices, we get ahold of the customer, then order the parts, and then the mechanic fixes it,” Hensel said.

On an average day, Heaton may be working on four or five cars at the same time. In an average year, he works on about 1,000 cars.

He does a variety of jobs

for customers, from tuneups, inspections, recalls and brakes to odd problems, like a car repeatedly shutting off for no apparent reason.

“There are issues where you open the hood and look around, and there’s your problem,” Heaton said.

“Then there’s others that are more complicated. You always do an inspection, then verify the concern. Depending on the concern, you decide what path to take to fix it.”

For Heaton, the most challenging part of being an automotive technician is trying to meet customers’ expectations.

“A customer thinks we hook our computer up to their car, and it instantly tells us what’s wrong,” Heaton said. “That’s not the case. It’ll tell us what the computer saw, but it doesn’t tell us why it saw that. So

we still have to diagnose the problem, and that takes time.”

For Brian Andreasen, senior master automotive technician, it’s been more difficult to adjust to the technology. He’s been at Creston Automotive for 25 years.

“Younger guys like (Andrew) seem to have a better touch on some of the modernized electronic stuff because their generation is more used to computers,” Andreasen said. “It takes me a little longer to figure some of that out.”

Heaton enjoys seeing new technology come out in cars and views technology as a helpful tool in speeding up the repair process.

“He is very intelligent,” Hensel said of Heaton.

“He’s really responsive on getting his work done and getting it done right.”

Iowa Youth Caucus

CNA photos by IAN RICHARDSON

LEFT: Union County Republican Party Chairman Joe Owens, left, collects paper ballots from students during the mock Republican caucus Thursday in the Creston High School auditorium. Throughout the evening, 15 Creston students voted in both a Republican and Democratic style caucus. Carly Fiorina was the top Republican vote-getter in Creston, with 40 percent of the vote. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio tied for second with 20 percent each. Statewide, Ben Carson won with 22.3 percent. Also pictured, from left to right, are Creston juniors Hannah Hood, Katie Powers and Alexus Larkin. RIGHT: Karon Finn, right, does some last-minute campaigning for Sen. Bernie Sanders as students select candidates in the Democratic mock caucus Thursday in the Creston High School auditorium. After some expert finagling, the Sanders group was able to coax a student from the Martin O’Malley group to join them, giving them a 10-4 lead over the Hillary Clinton group. That would mean, in a real caucus, Sanders would gain three delegates versus Clinton’s one.

Sanders won the statewide youth caucus with 52.7 percent of the vote. Also pictured are Creston seniors Alicia Boyer, middle, and Lorelei Herrod.

Seeing the light on a dark night Dear Heloise: One night, I came home late and noticed that I had forgotten to turn on my FRONT-PORCH LIGHT. It was really dark, and without the light I knew I was going to have trouble getting my key into the keyhole.

At that same time, my cellphone rang. Upon answering it, I noticed just how much it lit up the very dark interior of my car. That’s when it hit me: My phone had a flashlight!

Problem solved. — Rose M., Victoria, Texas Yes, the multiple features that are on these phones seem to be making us more and more dependent on them. On the plus side, it does eliminate the need to carry a mirror or a small flashlight in purses anymore! — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

Hints from Heloise cost-efficient, knowing the difference between nonstop flights and direct flights is a good start. Did you know that these two are not interchangeable and are distinctly different?

Direct flights can have any number of stops along the way. In these flights, passengers may exit and others may board, but you will not leave this plane until you reach your destination.

Even though this may require more time to get to your destination, it may also be less expensive than a nonstop flight.

Nonstop flights are just that: There are no stops between your departure city and your destination city. So if you are in a hurry to get to your destination in the shortest time possible, book this type of flight.

The cost may be slightly higher than that of a direct flight, so always compare prices before you book. — Heloise FREEZING YOGURT Dear Heloise: Could you

Mary, freezing yogurt is OK. Some yogurt types can be frozen for up to three months. It’s recommended that if there’s fruit in the yogurt, it’s better to stir the yogurt before freezing.

When thawed, there may be slight changes in consistency and texture, so “test freeze” a container of the kind you prefer.

Since the Sun is your source of energy, you will need more sleep. Go to bed.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You have a strong desire to get better organized. It’s almost as if you want to turn over a new leaf. Because this energy will last for about a month, make the most of it!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The month ahead is very playful for you. It promises romance, social excursions, fun at the theater or sports events, plus playful activities with children.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Now your attention turns to home, family and your personal life. In fact, this focus will last for about four to five weeks. You will want to cocoon at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You will experience increased popularity for the

next month. Join clubs, groups and associations. Enjoy hanging out with your pals.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) For the next four weeks, the Sun is at high noon in your chart, acting like a spotlight on you. Since this light is flattering, people will be impressed!

YOU BORN TODAY You express grace and elegance in your speech and body language. You make an effort to stay current so that you are

abreast of the times. This is a testing year of growth and building; however, this will take place beneath the surface.

Do not make major changes yet — wait until next year.

Strengthen your financial position by reducing your overhead.

HEALTH

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, November 20, 2015

How dangerous is your smartphone?

(BPT) — It’s true: selfies killed more people than shark attacks in 2015.

While death by selfie may be considered a rare occurrence and at the extreme end of the dangers they pose, the health risks associated with smartphones are no joke. In fact, they are ever increasing. Here’s a look at some common problems smartphones can afflict on users and how we can all avoid them by being a bit smarter ourselves.

Phone claw Perhaps the most common problem people encounter is the cramping and soreness felt in wrists and fingers when using smartphones. Repeating actions, such as using your thumb to scroll on screen or typing on a small keyboard, can cause tenosynovitis (inflammation of tendons).

Symptoms start as pain and stiffness in the thumb area but can spread to the forearm and cause weakness in the hand.

To minimize pain felt when scrolling or texting, it is recommended you vary the hand you use for completing smartphone tasks, and use a bigger keyboard, such as one on a laptop, for

typing longer emails.

Eye strain Imagine the pain you feel in your arm muscles after holding something heavy for a long time - that is exactly how your eye muscles feel after staring at your smartphone for a long time.

Digital eye strain is made even worse by the harmful blue light emitted by the screens of smartphones that can penetrate deep into the

eye. This can damage the eye’s retina which has been linked to macular degeneration - the most common cause of sight loss in the developed world.

You can combat this risk with Adlens Interface eyewear. Tinted lenses filter out 80 percent of the most harmful blue light, and unlike other computer eyewear, the optical power of Adlens Interface is continuously adjustable. This

allows wearers to change the power to focus comfortably and reduce the strain felt by eye muscles when looking at screens.

You can visit Adlens.com for more information.

Text neck Smartphones quite literally are a pain in the neck says Dr Kenneth Hansraj, whose research published last year demonstrates how the posture we commonly take when looking at our

phone increases stress on the neck. Heads tilted at a 15 degree angle downwards to look at screens increases the effective weight placed on our neck by 27 pounds, while a 60 degree tilt causes a 60 pound increase.

This excessive stress may require a corrective operation. To avoid this, people are advised to regularly take breaks from looking downwards and to lift and stretch their necks. Wherever pos-

sible, use voice recognition services and swap texts for phone calls.

Accidents If you are looking at your phone, you are more likely to trip over your feet, walk into a lamppost or have a more serious accident so far this year four selfie deaths have been caused by falls.

Researchers at the University of Washington found pedestrians using their phone are four times more likely to forget to look for traffic before crossing or ignore traffic lights, while a Carnegie Mellon study found drivers even just listening to a phone call have been seen to commit errors as if they were under the influence of alcohol.

Smartphones are not just a cell phone; they are music players, news sources, cameras and central to our social lives. But however integral they have become to our daily routine, we must make sure we remain aware of their hazards and are using them in the smartest ways possible.

Accidents are avoided when we remain aware of the world around us and ensure our smartphone is never the sole focus of attention.

Wart worry? How to get rid of them In the children’s book “The Witch With a Wart,” an old hag discovers she has a wart on her nose (of course!). Eager to have it disappear, she brews up a magic potion, but gets the ingredients wrong, tripling her proboscis’ problems. If she’d just known about duct tape! (More on that below.)

Warts, caused by a human papilloma virus (different from the strain that causes genital warts or triggers cervical cancer), come in four varieties: The common wart appears mostly around fingers and hands on kids (and goes away by itself); the plantar wart is on the bottom of your feet; the flat wart, which kids get on the face, men on the beard area, women on their legs; and the fast-growing filiform wart that usually appears on the face. Warts can spread from one body part to another or from person to person. So don’t pick or scratch a wart or touch someone else’s.

At-home remedies: Soak the wart in warm water, then sand it down with an emery board (wear a mask and gloves, then throw away the board, gloves and mask when done). Next, apply an OTC treatment with salicylic acid or, advises the American Academy of Dermatology, cover the wart with duct tape! Change it after 5-6 days and repeat until the wart is gone. And check out the AAD’s YouTube channel for the video “Home Treatment for Warts.”

Nothing working? See your dermatologist for treatment options that include cryotherapy (freezing), excision, lasers, chemical peels and even immunotherapy.

HOW TO HANDLE

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

ADULT BULLYING You may think bullying is perpetrated only by nasty kids or mean teenagers. But in 2013 it happened among teammates in the NFL. Miami Dolphins second-year player Jonathan Martin accused veteran Richie Incognito of mercilessly harassing him. A subsequent investigation concurred, and lead lawyer Ted Wells called Martin’s treatment “a classic case of bullying, where persons who are in a position of power harass the less powerful.”

Workplace bullying is commonplace: North Dakota State University professor Pamela Lutgen-Sandvik, Ph.D., says in her book “Adult Bullying: A Nasty Piece of Work,” “Bullying is experienced by 97 percent of nurse managers; 60 percent of retail industry workers; 53 percent of business school students.” And the Workplace Bullying Institute says overall, 27 percent of Americans have experienced abusive conduct at work.

Signs of workplace bullying include getting no feedback on your performance; being yelled at or put down in front of others; having your work sabotaged or ignored; being given a heavier workload or shorter deadlines than others. Unfortunately, you probably can’t avoid interacting with your abuser (it’s usually a boss). And relentless bullying can lead to health issues

like PTSD, digestive woes, headaches and depression.

So what can you do?

—Document all incidents in detail.

—Go to human resources and lodge a formal complaint. Contact an employment lawyer if you need a complaint letter written.

Remember, requesting a transfer or finding another job is “NOT a defeat!” says Lutgen-Sandvik. The company’s loss of YOU is a sign of the company’s failure.

PARENTS AND PRESCHOOL EMERGENCY PLANS Even Bob Hope had an emergency plan: “I keep an earthquake emergency kit in my house,” he once said.

“It’s filled with food, water and a half a dozen writers.”

But according to a new poll, a lot of parents (35 percent) have no idea what their child’s day care or preschool emergency plan entails — or if they even have one. The C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health also reveals that only 65 percent of parents say their child’s center has a plan for “rapid communication (text, email or cellphone) of an emergency evacuation plan to parents.”

This doesn’t mean that preschools and child-care centers are unprepared. As one of the poll’s researchers put it, “Many centers may be well-prepared to handle these types of events, but emergency plans are much

less likely to work if parents don’t know about them.”

Clearly, parents need to get proactive about what to do just in case, and youngsters’ facilities must make a solid plan and share it.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has outlined emergency-preparedness standards for child-care centers and preschools. You can find the information at www.aap.org; search for “child care providers, disaster preparedness standards.” It covers the need for disaster planning, food and water, first aid and other emergency supplies, training, communication with parents and evacuation drills. So no excuses, Mom and Dad. Make sure your child’s care facility or school has a complete emergency plan, and make sure you know what it is, too.

GET REGULAR WITH A CUP OF COFFEE The Big Bang theory proposes that the universe is always expanding. The Big Crunch theory says that after the expansion, gravity will haul the universe back into a singularity, which will Big Bang all over again.

That expansion and contraction is sort of how your guts work. But to prevent them from going completely Bang and Crunch, here’s our theory: have a cup of Joe. For 30 to 40 percent of the population, calmer movement of food through the intestines can be set in motion by a cup of black, filtered coffee. That’s right.

Besides keeping your blood vessels flexible and lowering your stroke risk by 30 percent, Joe’s laxative effect can keep you regular.

First, coffee’s acidity can

stimulate your stomach to produce more gastric acid, which helps break down proteins and aids digestion. Then it increases the amounts of the hormones gastrin and cholecystokinin that your body produces.

These two help with the whole digestive passage, including acting as stimulants of smooth muscle contraction (peristalsis).

So the next time you’re slow to go, pour yourself a cup of Joe. And for the 88 percent of you who are fast caffeine metabolizers (you can down 12 ounces in an hour without getting a headache or anxiety), two to three cups of brewed caffeinated coffee a day increase brain focus and muscle endurance and reduce inflammation; and they deliver heartloving phenols (they’re in decaf, too) that can decrease your risk of nine cancers by over 10 percent and help you dodge, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and Type 2 diabetes.

SETTING UP THE BEST COUNTERATTACK On Oct. 19, 1864, Confederate Lt. Gen. Jubal Early launched a surprise attack on Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan’s Union Army of the Shenandoah, and the Union soldiers were nearly routed. However, Sheridan launched a counterattack and won the Battle of Cedar Creek. Clearly, counterattacks can be very effective, especially in the Battle of the Bulge!

Researchers at Cornell’s Food and Brand Lab recently peered into more than 200 American kitchens to improve their counter

intelligence. They learned that in homes with soda displayed on the countertops, the women of the house weighed on average 25 pounds more than gal pals whose counters were soda-free. And in homes where kitchen counters had a bowl of fruit sitting out, women weighed around 13 pounds less than neighbors who didn’t dish up such tasty produce.

Call in the cavalry, and haul out the fruit! But not just any fruit. Your choice — starchy or not — can do a lot to help control your weight. For instance, if you always have just bananas and avocados in that bowl, well, they’re packed with nutrition but they’re also high in calories (both), carbs (25 percent of bananas’ calories come from starch) and unsaturated fat (85 percent of avocados’ calories come from fat). You can easily overdo them. But plums, peaches, citrus, melons and all berries have a high liquid content (fewer calories), less starch (fewer carbs), no fat and lots of brain-, heartand sex-friendly phytonutrients. That’s how you launch your kitchen counterattack on extra pounds. *** 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.

Barbour gave a program on NSDAR 125th anniversary which is being celebrated throughout this year. Members shared the opening ritual, followed by the presentation of the president general’s message by Barbour. The national defense report was given by Barbour and also focused on the anniversary celebration. Minutes from the August 2015 meeting were presented by Barbour; one name correction was made, and minutes were then approved unanimously.

The treasurer’s report was given by Riepe. A movement was made by Marvin and seconded by Connie Kinkade to pay the bills and accept the report. The vote to do so was unanimous.

We also collected brushes and razors to give to the Veteran’s hospital, reviewed the holiday card designs Marj designed and discussed the rules on sending cards to our vets.

During new business, we discussed possible ideas for National Day of Service activities in our own communities and had an update from Connie and Marvin about the district meeting. Connie also suggested having a ceremony Nov. 14 for the dedication of the new flag being donated to the park in Creston. All were in agreement to gather after the meeting next month for the dedication. The closing prayer was offered by chaplain Connie.

DAR is a women’s service organization dedicated to promoting historic preservation, education, patriotism and honoring the patriots of the Revolutionary War. Any woman 18 years of age who has an ancestor who was a patriot in the Revolutionary War is eligible to join DAR and would be welcome

NATIONAL DIGEST

Hawks roll MILWAUKEE (AP) — Fran McCaffrey won his 350th career game and Peter Jok scored 20 points to lead six players in double figures as Iowa cruised past Marquette 89-61 on Thursday night.

Jarrod Uthoff scored 15 points, Anthony Clemmons 11, Mike Gesell 11, Adam Woodbury 10 and Dom Uhl 10 for Iowa (3-0).

McCaffery (350-252) also won his 99th at Iowa (99-75) in his sixth season since being named head coach in 2010. He’s won 20-plus games the previous three seasons, Iowa’s longest streak in 15 years, and taken the Hawkeyes to the NCAA Tourney the last two.

Trailing 48-21 at halftime, Marquette (1-2) scored the first eight points of the second half and pulled to 48-29, but Iowa countered with its own 8-0 run. Woodbury started it with a 14-foot jump shot and Uthoff’s basket ended it as Iowa led 57-29. Marquette never challenged the rest of the way.

Haanif Cheatham led Marquette with 12 points and Jajuan Johnson and Duane Wilson each had 11.

MVPs NEW YORK — Major League Baseball announced the winners of its Most Valuable Player awards on Thursday night, with one honoree widely expected and another the result of a tough choice.

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper won the National League award unanimously. Harper became just the seventh player in MLB history to hit 40 home runs in a season at age 22 or younger — joining Mel Ott, Joe DiMaggio, Eddie Mathews, Johnny Bench, Juan Gonzalez and Alex Rodriguez.

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt came in second place with 18 of the 30 second-place votes.

In the American League, Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson and Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout were considered to be in a tight race.

The Baseball Writers Association of America selected Donaldson — with 23 of 30 voters choosing him over Trout.

Experience lifts Creston’s hopes in revamped Hawkeye 10

It’s a different look in the Hawkeye 10 Conference this year, and Creston could be poised for rising into contention this winter.

The 2014-15 season was one of elite senior talent throughout the league.

Back-to-back state champion Harlan graduated the likes of Jess Schaben and Elle Kloewer, although allstate tournament team captain Taylor Frederick and shooting guard Jordyn Moser return from a team that won 52 straight games.

Shenandoah graduated

Parker and Sydney Nielsen.

Two of the best players ever in Red Oak graduated from coach Dan Martinez’s Class 3A state tournament team in Kate Walker and Grace Blomstedt. Walker is playing at Division I Bucknell.

Kuemper Catholic no longer has the talented duo of Kierstyn Bauer and Maria Dentlinger.

That’s not to say the cupboard is bare of returning talent in the Hawkeye 10 in 2015-16. Lewis Central returns virtually its entire team from a 17-6 season, including Madison Paulsen and Maegan Holt, who averaged 11 points and five

year.

Any Harlan team that takes the court with Frederick (15 points, 7.3 rebounds), who has signed to play at the University of South Dakota, and Moser (9.2 points, 31 3-pointers) is going to be formidable.

St. Albert returns the duo of Paige Beacom and Alyssa Carley (combined 31 points per game), along with another solid transfer on this year’s roster, according to Creston coach Brent

“Harlan is very good with Frederick and Moser back, and Lewis Central didn’t lose anything so they have great depth again,” Douma said. “But I hope we can battle towards the top of the conference this year.

Taylor drops 30 in Central’s Bevins named Upshaw Award finalist basketball victory over Wesleyan MANHEIM, Pa. – Northwest Missouri State University defensive lineman Collin Bevins of Creston has been named one of eight finalists for the 2015 Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year Award.

Bevins was one of two players selected from the NCAA’s S u p e r Region Three, along with Minnesota State’s Bevins J o s h ua Gordon. The award is sponsored by the Manheim Touchdown Club and voted upon by the nation’s NCAA Division II sports information directors. Two finalists advance from each of the four NCAA Division II super regions.

PELLA — Central College men’s basketball junior forward Colby Taylor of Creston had a career night Wednesday, going for 30 points in a 92-73 victory over Iowa Wesleyan.

Taylor knocked down 12 of his 14 shots and was a perfect 4-for-4 from behind the arc. He added two free throws to tie a career high in points. Taylor also grabbed seven boards to go along with three steals and two assists.

“Colby let the game come to him tonight,” coach Craig Douma said. “He took the shots when they were open.

He was able to get some switches and our guys did a good job of getting him the ball.”

The Dutch (2-0) put the pedal down early, taking a 49-35 lead into halftime before outscoring the Tigers (1-2) by just five in the second half. Central outshot Iowa Wesleyan 51 percent to 47 percent.

“We executed our game plan really well,” Douma said. “I think we came out prepared and ready to play.”

Central won the rebound battle 45-30, including 10-4 on the offensive end. Those 10 boards turned into 16 second-chance points. The Tigers were held without a second-chance basket.

“We did a great job covering the boards,” Douma said. “The put back points played a big role in the outcome of the game.”

Junior forward Ryan Kunkel (Solon) was not to be forgotten in the midst of Taylor’s big night, notching his first career double-double. Kunkel scored 13 points and brought down 13 rebounds, also adding three blocks.

Junior guard Pete Walker (Red Oak) joined the double-digit scoring party, tallying a career high 12 points on 4-of-8 shooting and four free throws.

The Dutch will have their first road test Saturday, traveling to Mankato, Minn. for a 5 p.m. tilt with Bethany Lutheran (Minn.). The Vikings are 0-2 on the young season.

“We have to learn to handle a long road trip,” Douma said. “We are going to do this back-to-back weekends and I think it will be a good learning experience for us as a team.”

Sports briefs website which said: “The decision was made based upon the National Weather Service forecast and the winter stem warning that has been issued for tomorrow.”

Monday’s games will be played at the same time they were scheduled for today, and tickets sold for Friday’s games will be honored on Monday. The Class 1A championship will be played at 11 a.m., the 2A title game will be at 2 p.m. and the 4A final is set for 7 p.m.

The NFL recognizes, endorses and supports the winner of the award by guaranteeing a place in the all-star games. The support comes as recognition and appreciation for the late Mr. Upshaw, who was not only an All-Pro lineman for the Oakland Raiders, but later served as the executive director of the NFL Players Association for 25 years.

Upshaw, a former standout offensive lineman at Texas A&I University (now Texas A&M Kingsville), was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987 in his first year of eligibility.

Northwest Missouri State is the top seed in the NCAA Division II’s Super Region Three. On Nov. 28, Northwest will host the winner of No. 4 seed Humboldt State and No. 5 Augustana, which will be played on Nov. 21.

Bevins, the 2015 MIAA Co-Defensive Player of the Year, was voted into the finals from a field of 47 candidates. He finished the 2015 regular season with 38 total tackles, 17.0 tackles for loss, 8.0 sacks and two forced fumbles. He also recorded his first career saftey in a victory over Emporia State on Nov. 7, a game in which he had 4.0 sacks and 5.0 tackles for loss.

The national round of voting begins on Monday, Nov. 23 and closes on Monday Nov. 30. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, Dec. 2. The award recipient has an invitation to participate in front of professional scouts and coaches at the East-West Shrine Game in St. Petersburg, Fla. The winner will also be recognized at the Manheim Touchdown Club’s annual banquet in May.

with six girls. We plan on going eight or nine deep in a lot of games this year.”

Graduation losses were Natalie Mostek (12.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game), Brenna Baker (6.4 points, 3.0 assists) with 41 percent shooting from 3-point range, and utility guard Maria Mostek, who started several games when her sister was out with a knee injury. Natalie Mostek missed eight games.

But there’s a lot of hope for the returnees and candidates from a JV team that went 13-5 under coach Ryan McKim last year. (Mallory Peterson has taken over the freshman duties this year as Anthony Donahoo has switched to the freshman boys coaching position.)

Mostek wasn’t the only costly injury last year. Post player Cammy Rutherford, then a sophomore, was Rutherford lost for the season in January with a knee injury that required surgery.

She was back in the starting lineup as the team played Adair-Casey Thursday night for two quarters in the SWCC Basketball Jamboree, before the official season opener Monday at home against Mount Ayr. Senior duo Senior point guard Taylor Briley and senior post player Jenna Taylor, with shooting range out to the 3-point arc, provide one of the best returning duos in the conference this season. Briley earned all-conference second team Briley honors and led the team with a 15.1 scoring average. She shot 37.9 percent from 3-point range (22-of-58) and averaged a team-high 3.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

Taylor received honorable mention along with Natalie Mostek. Taylor was second on the team with 13.8 points per game while leading the team in rebounding at 7.4, field goal shooting (57.7 p e r c e n t ) , Taylor 3-point shooting (44.4 percent) and free throw shooting (81.4 percent).

guard Alli Thomsen, now a senior. Both are slated for major duty on the wings this year.

“Alli’s strength is knocking down 3-point shots,” Douma said. “Lexie’s shot is coming around, too. She’s Thomsen a good allaround athlete. Right after Cammy got hurt, she stepped in against Glenwood and had 12 points and 11 rebounds playing at the bottom of the 2-3 Little zone.”

Senior Caitlin McIlravy can play point guard or off guard and is a good complement out front to the athletic Briley.

“Those two really work each other in practice,” Douma said. “Caitlin gets on the floor scrapping for loose balls. She’s really quick. Taylor can drive the ball, but she’s also improved her outside shot the past two years.

She can knock down threes.

She also had 73 assists and 41 steals for us. She can do a lot of things well.”

Somers returns Senior Camryn Somers, like Little, is versatile enough to play as a wing or a small post position. She did not play last year, concentrating on her training as a swimmer, the sport in which she just signed a National Letter of Intent to compete at University of Nebraska-Omaha.

“It’s great to have her back,” Douma said. “She averaged about five points as a sophomore and played a lot of varsity.”

Jessica Beatty and Madison Callahan add depth on the perimeter, and Becca Ross and Logan Pettit are additional post players on the varsity. Some younger players could eventually become factors, Douma said.

Transition basketball is still something Douma has tried to ingrain in Creston girls basketball.

“We’re stressing to push the ball, but if we don’t have a great look, we pull it out and run offense,” he said.

“We’re not real big inside, but the nice thing is Cammy and Jenna are both strong girls and can hold their own inside. Camryn may come in and play a little four for us.

She’s capable of doing that, athletically.”

This year, with continued emphasis on improved shooting, the Panthers seem to have the capability of scoring consistently when facing zone defenses.

“With Jenna’s abilities, we’ll have her out on the

perimeter a little against zones, because she’s worked so hard on her shot,” Douma said. “She can knock down shots. She has that inside-outside game that’s tough for (opposing) post players sometimes. On defense we’ll experiment with some things early and see what we like best.”

Last year Creston had some stellar defensive efforts, including two shutout second quarters in beating state-ranked Kuemper 50-25 and a 49-36 Class 4A regional win over Norwalk. State qualifier Indianola ousted Creston with a hard-fought 47-29 victory. Indianola is now in Class 5A. “We were up one at half at Indianola and down just five going into the fourth quarter,” Douma said. “Then we didn’t score for a few minutes. We were playing well down the stretch last year.”

Monday’s opener here against Mount Ayr starts with the JV game at 6 p.m., followed by varsity at about 7:30 p.m.

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

It wasn’t quite midseason form, but the first time the Creston girls basketball took the court in the 2015-16 season was a success as the Panthers held off Adair-Casey, 27-20, in the two-quarter finale of the Southwestern Basketball Jamboree Thursday night in the SWCC gym.

Earlier, Diagonal and CAM finished in a 23-23 tie, and Essex defeated East Union, 22-6.

Jenna Taylor, Cammy Rutherford, Lexie Little, Alli Thomsen and Taylor Briley started for the Panthers, who got off to a 15-9 lead after one period.

The lead grew to 26-13 before A-C closed with a 7-1 spurt to create the final seven-point margin.

“Ragged,” said Creston coach Brent Douma. “Week and a half of practice, that’s about what you’d expect.

We have to work on taking care of the basketball.”

The Bombers created some Panther turnovers with full-court pressure, especially in the second quarter. Douma said it exposed some things to work on in practice before Monday’s season opener against Mount Ayr. “I’m glad we saw some pressure from a team that works a lot in the summer and it’s obvious they’re ready to go already,” Douma said. “We had barely gotten our press break in, but it’s obvious we need to know how to do that. It was good for us.”

Creston junior post player Cammy Rutherford (44) lofts a pass inside to Jenna Taylor while being defended

by Miranda Plowman of Adair-Casey Thursday during the Southwestern Jamboree. Rutherford, returning from knee surgery last year, scored eight points in Creston’s 27-20 victory.

The Panther coach liked his team’s halfcourt offense’s ability to get the ball inside, as senior Jenna Taylor scored 10 points and junior Cammy Rutherford added eight. All-conference point guard Taylor Briley was effective on quick drives and scored nine points. Lexie Little added two points.

Sophomore Madie Sorensen led A-C with eight points and senior Shelby Sorensen added six.

Essex, a team now on Creston’s schedule after the

Panthers lost the Raiderette Classic from its schedule, looked sharp in defeating East Union. Lauren Mitchell, Sidney McFee and Ashley Malone each scored two points for the Eagles, who lost the services of shooting guard Kacie Ripperger during the first practice of the season with a knee injury.

Katie Sobotka and Emily Newton were Diagonal’s leading scorers in the tie game against CAM. Sobotka sank two 3-pointers.
