Past boredom: a Creston ‘There’s No resident’s fitness journey Place Like

Creston for the Holidays’ kicks off Thursday

Cassie Wilmeth warms up on a row machine recently at the CrossFit TYL gym in Creston before her scheduled workout with other CrossFit members in the afternoon.

Editor’s note: This story is the second in a series of features on local residents’ fitness transformations.

When someone overcomes a life-dominating struggle, others want to know how it happened.

Cassie Wilmeth was at work when a co-worker noticed she had lost significant weight.

“Did you get that surgery?” Wilmeth remembers her asking.

Her co-worker was asking the “how” question before Wilmeth herself had noticed any changes. And, after three years and losing more than 200 pounds, Wilmeth still does not know the science behind her success.

Some take a picture before they begin working out. Others weigh themselves daily, make charts and inform all their

er really had a plan to begin with. A friend from work invited her to do workout videos over the weekend, and she agreed.

“I thought this might be fun,” Wilmeth said.

Once she started seeing results for herself, she decided to keep at it. Then, soon enough, she started adding walks to her weekdays and turning on her home TV to do other video workouts.

Fitness was on Wilmeth’s mind for a long time.

“I thought about losing weight a lot over the years,” Wilmeth said.

“I told myself, ‘It would be great if I could lose weight’.”

The temporary mulllings never turned into a decisive moment of resolve or action for her, and there was no moment she considered her weight gain as a life-dominating struggle or called it a disorder.

“I don’t remember looking back and thinking I have a problem,” she said.

“I wasn’t thinking, ‘Oh, I’m eating too much’.”

In a way, the science behind her weight loss was as mysterious to her as her weigh gain.

Wilmeth, 31, was raised in Creston, where she lives with her parents and two younger sisters. Talks of fitness trickled into her days as her dad cut soda out of his diet and started walking on the treadmill to lose what would be around 50 pounds. Her mom also lost weight, and her younger sisters have dabbled in workouts here and there.

Growing up, her family made walks a family outing. She also was relatively active as a child, playing volleyball and softball in middle school and taking the occasional trip to the gym in college.

“It just all happened gradually,” she said.

Christmas cheer will be back in full force Thursday as the 15th-annual “There’s No Place Like Creston for the Holidays” celebration begins.

This year’s celebration takes place Thursday through Sunday and again Dec. 10-11.

“That’s one nice thing about the event is it kind of adds to the atmosphere of the holidays,” said Ellen Gerharz, Creston Chamber of Comm e r c e executive Gerharz

director. “After the Thanksgiving holiday and all the shopping, it hopefully gets everybody more in the holiday spirit. It’s a fun event.”

The event kicks off with the Comfort and Joy Quilt Show at Quilts & Other Notions Creative Center, located at 201 N. Elm St. in Creston, and the Festival of Trees at American Home Design Center, located at 101 N. Walnut St. Both events begin 9 a.m. Thursday.

People have the opportunity to bid on trees, wreaths, centerpieces and other items decorated and donated by various individuals and groups in the community at Festival of Trees.

CASSIE WILMETH Creston

Wilmeth remembers she would be sitting at home watching TV, and she would think, “I’m hungry. Maybe I’ll go eat.” At Greater Regional Medical Center, where she works preparing and serving food, she would finish preparing something like a batch of cookies and she would think like she did when she was at home and watching TV. “Oh, I made cookies today,” she would tell herself before she indulged in cookies and softserve icecream.

She graduated from Wilbur High School in 1940.

On Feb. 18, 1948, Evelyn married Earl E. Lewis in Creston. Most of her life was spent as a homemaker.

Though she had a physical disability, she never allowed it to interfere with taking care of her family.

After retiring from the farm, they moved to Orient and joined the Orient Plymouth Congregational church.

7 sent to hospital after report of Ohio State active shooter COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Seven people were sent to the hospital this morning after an active shooter was reported on campus, the Columbus Fire Department said shortly after the school sent a series of tweets telling students to shelter in place and to “Run Hide Fight.”

Two of those people are in stable condition, the department said. It had no information on the other five people.

Around 10 a.m., the university’s emergency management department tweeted “Buckeye Alert: Active Shooter on campus. Run Hide Fight. Watts Hall. 19th and College.” Watts Hall is a materials science and engineering building.

“Run, hide, fight” is stan-

dard protocol for active shooter situations. It means: Run, evacuate if possible; hide, get silently out of view; or fight, as a last resort, take action to disrupt or incapacitate the shooter if your life is in imminent danger.

The university followed up with another tweet: “Continue to shelter in place in north campus area. Follow directions of Police on scene.” The university asked for anyone with information to call police.

Many police vehicles were at the scene. No other information was immediately available.

With nearly 60,000 students at its main Columbus campus, Ohio State is one of the nation’s largest universities.

Judge: Church shooting suspect can act as his own attorney CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A white man accused of fatally shooting nine black parishioners at a Charleston church last year was allowed to act as his own attorney in his federal death penalty trial today.

Dylann Roof’s request came against his lawyers’ advice, and U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel said he would reluctantly accept the 22-yearold’s “unwise” decision.

Death penalty attorney David Bruck then slid over and let Roof take the lead chair.

The lawyers can stand by and help Roof if he asks.

The development came the same day jury selection resumed in the case. The selection process was halted Nov. 7 after lawyers for Roof questioned his ability to understand the case against him. Judge Gergel’s ruling last week cleared the way for Monday’s process to begin anew.

Roof, 22, is charged with counts including hate crimes and obstruction of religion in connection with the June

17, 2015, attack at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston. He faces a possible death sentence if convicted.

Beginning Monday, 516 potential jurors were to report to the courthouse to be individually questioned by the judge.

When 70 qualified jurors are picked, attorneys can use strikes to dismiss those they don’t want, until 12 jurors and six alternates are seated.

The judge delayed the process of narrowing the jury pool when Roof’s lawyers suggested that their client either didn’t understand the charges against him or couldn’t properly help with his defense. The lawyers didn’t say what led them to question Roof’s fitness for trial.

The decision came after Gergel wrapped up a hastily called two-day hearing to determine if Roof is mentally fit to stand trial, hearing testimony from psychologist James Ballenger and four other unnamed witnesses and reviewed sworn statements from three others.

victims and survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence in Union County.

“It’s good for those affected to know they are supported by the community. That’s what this event does,” said Chelsea Jenkins, specialist with Crisis Intervention and Advocacy Center, which organizes the event.

One of the highlights of “There’s No Place Like Creston for the Holidays,” according to Gerharz, is Santa’s arrival at the Creston restored Depot 5 p.m.

Thursday. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be at the Depot until 7 p.m., when the lighted Christmas parade begins.

At 4:30 p.m., the Model Railroaders will be working at the restored Depot and the Creston: Arts gallery will be open at the Depot. Also, Leslie’s Dance and Tumbling will perform its “Dancers in the Snow Globe” at the studio, located at 218 N. Pine St. The Appalachia Service Project soup supper begins 5 p.m. at the Depot and the Southwestern Community College men’s and women’s basketball teams will be car-

of boredom,” she said.

For many like Wilmeth’s friend, Katrina Paulus, who has also struggled with her weight over the years, the very desire for change can become the obstacle to that change.

“I’m not like her,” Paulus said, referring to Wilmeth’s ability to almost nonchalantly take on challenges without too much

oling in the Depot from 5:15 to 6 p.m.

“This will be our third year doing it and it’s a great way for our guys to get outside of campus ... and have the community members see our guys in a different perspective than just a student athlete,” said Todd Lorensen, SWCC head men’s basketball coach. “I think it’s a win-win for everybody involved. I won’t say we have Lorensen the best voices around, but I think we provide some high-quality entertainment.”

The lighted Christmas parade begins 7 p.m. Thursday in uptown Creston. Those interested in participating do not need to pre-register.

They just need to show up at the intersection of Mills and Walnut streets no later than 6:45 p.m. The only requirement is entries must be lighted.

The uptown location of Iowa State Savings Bank will hold a holiday open house following the parade.

Gerharz encourages residents to take a stroll

down North Maple Street throughout the event to see the return of the paper-mache carolers, which were rejuvenated by Barb Coenen. The carolers will be placed in various storefront windows along Maple Street.

“If people are uptown, they may want to stop and see the carolers coming back to life, figuratively,” Gerharz said. “They are a family of carolers that were part of the decorations at the Depot and after many years of wear and tear, I had to take them out of service.”

Both the Comfort and Joy Quilt Show and Festival of Trees remain open Friday and Saturday. Joyful Noise hosts a holiday concert 1:30 p.m. Sunday at Creston High School.

Santa returns to the Depot 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 10, and CARE hosts its craft and goodie boutique at the Depot 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 10.

Southwestern Community College hosts Holiday Carols in Concert 7:30 p.m.

Sunday, Dec. 11, at the Performing Arts Center.

thinking. “She has a very healthy approach,” she added.

Sometimes Wilmeth would re-gain weight since she started working out daily.

“I had many lapses,” Wilmeth said. “This summer, I stopped wearing my Fitbit, and I gained around 15 pounds.”

The “lapses” were short-lived, though. After months like these, Wilmeth would tell herself, “I need to get back into this,”

and a week later or so, she would be back to the grind and lose the weight gained plus more. And, whenever a workout stopped working for her, she would just start another.

Over the years, her workout sometimes included a water aerobic class at the YMCA, a yoga class or a three mile walk around the neighborhood.

Other times, she stayed at home to do a workout video. Her last undertaking has been CrossFit. Her

experimental approach was applied to her diet as well. She started off bringing Lean Cuisine meals to work one day. Then, she changed how she cooked at home, including more protein and watching her portion sizes.

“When I saw results, I just kept doing it,” she said.

“It has given me more energy and productivity,” she said. “It’s helped me come out of my shell more.”

Montenegrin lawmakers approve new pro-NATO government PODGORICA, Montenegro (AP) — Montenegrin lawmakers today swore in a pro-NATO government amid political tensions following an alleged foiled election-day coup orchestrated by Russian nationalists to derail the Balkan country’s bid to join the alliance.

The coalition Cabinet of Prime Minister Dusko Markovic was approved with 41 votes in favor and none against in the 81-member assembly. Opposition lawmakers boycotted the session.

Markovic pledged that his Cabinet would wrap up in 2017 the years-long process of Montenegro’s integration into NATO that has been opposed by Russia.

“We expect to finish the process before spring (2017),” the 58-year-old former intelligence chief told lawmakers. “Full membership (in NATO) will provide the level of security we haven’t had in

the past.”

Markovic also said his government will seek to “overcome misunderstandings with our historic ally Russia,” while keeping the European Union and NATO integration as the priority.

Opposition parties — including pro-Russian groups — have complained that the Oct. 16 elections were marred by irregularities.

The vote was marked by the arrest of 20 people who allegedly planned to assassinate the prime minister and take over power in order to block Montenegro’s NATO effort.

Authorities have said two Russian nationalists were behind the plot along with some Serbs who fought with pro-Russia rebels in eastern Ukraine.

Moscow has denied involvement in the alleged coup. However, Russian officials have openly opposed Montenegro’s upcoming membership in

NATO. Montenegro was formally invited to NATO last year. With Montenegro’s joining, Russia would lose strategic access to the Adriatic Sea, and Serbia would be its only remaining ally in the region.

NATO officials said they expect Montenegro to become a member next spring after all 28 alliance member states ratify the agreement in their respective parliaments.

Markovic said he will then put the membership bid for a vote in the Montenegrin parliament.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about evaporated-milk containers. A reader wrote: “We usually keep an open can of evaporated milk in the refrigerator for coffee, cooking, etc.

“I don’t understand why the manufacturers don’t offer this milk in a container that you can close or seal to avoid spillage and picking up odors from the refrigerator.

“So until the manufacturers wake up, we just snap on a clean pet-food lid!” – Paul in Bella Vista, Ark. Paul, thanks for your Sound Off, and your solution! I’ll bet others who also use this milk and have this same problem will try your hint. – Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Heloise: In sorting all my clothes, I’ve removed dozens of shoulder pads. I know they can be used as potholders, but what else? – Jean A., Alexandria, Va. Here are some other uses for shoulder pads: * Washable makeup-remover pads. * Scales for a homemade fish costume, or quilt a blanket with them. * Eye patches at Halloween. * Light-bulb removers.

– Heloise

GROCERY-SHOPPING ETIQUETTE Dear Readers: Many of you were sympathetic with Yssa’s frustrations about grocery shopping (10/3/16), and voiced your own frustrations as well.

In theory, it’s easy to say, “Let’s be realistic” or “Who has time to plan ahead” or my favorite, “Find a different time to shop, either late at night or early in the morning, when the shelves are stocked and the shoppers are few,” but the bottom line is this: Grocery shopping can be a frustrating experience.

Other issues mentioned include the following: * Don’t let your kids go wild pushing the shopping cart. * Pushing the basket down the left side of the aisle impedes traffic flow. * If you must talk on your phone, get out of the shopping aisle, especially if the call has nothing to do with shopping. * When checking out, don’t wait until the checker has totaled your order before looking for your “payment plan.” * If the sign says, “Twenty items or less,” that means no more than 20 items!

Don’t shoot the messenger! This list is compiled from my readers, who took the time to share their thoughts and frustrations about grocery shopping. – Heloise SHRINKING SOCKS Dear Readers: Recently, a reader wrote in about her socks shrinking over time, and she wanted hints on preventing this from happening.

Here’s what others said: Constance W., via email, said some companies are now making “extended” socks for larger feet. Her podiatrist also said that feet tend to “grow” because our arches gradually drop as we age.

Elizabeth W., via email, said: “Socks with spandex shrink in the dryer and stay that way. Cotton socks can be partially dried on ‘cool’ and then manually stretched and hung to dry in order to maintain size.”

Finally, a reader from Kansas said: “Stores aren’t carrying 100 percent cotton socks. Instead they are 75 percent cotton, 25 percent polyester and 2 percent spandex.” (Which, by the way, is 102 percent, but I get your point!) – Heloise (c)2016 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Adair County 4-H names outstanding members GREENFIELD – Riley Lonsdale, daughter of Marty and Maureen Lonsdale, and Hank Bohling, son of Lynn and Elaine Bohling, all of Greenfield, were named the Outstanding Senior 4-H members during the Adair County 4-H Awards Day program. Each are nine-year 4-H members and have had a strong commitment to community service and helping others.

Lonsdale has organized major service projects, including “T-shirts to Totes,” but she also realizes something as simple as a smile can help someone have a better day. Bohling is in his seventh year of organizing the “Holiday Mail for Heroes” project.

Both Lonsdale and Bohling are members of the Summerset Citizens 4-H Club, Adair County 4-H Youth Council, state fair volunteers and exhibitors and communication competitors in events locally and on the state level. Lonsdale is a junior Adair County Fair Board member. Bohling has served on the State 4-H Youth Council and will be attending National 4-H Congress in Atlanta later this month.

During their 4-H careers, Lonsdale has logged 1,306

hours of volunteer service.

Bohling has logged 2,457 hours of volunteer service.

They are leaders and admired by younger 4-H’ers.

Outstanding Intermediate honors went to Paisley Kintigh, daughter of Nick and Bethany Kintigh, and Jennifer Holliday, daughter of Doug and Jodie Holliday, all of Greenfield. Kintigh and Holliday are members of the Summerset Citizens and participate in numerous community service projects with fellow club members.

Kintigh is a member of the Adair County 4-H Youth Council. She has displayed outstanding leadership skills as she worked the past two years on her “ResQ-Tube” project. Following grant writing and giving many presentations to various groups and individuals, her project is completed as the Fontanelle and Bridgewater fire departments received Res-Q-Tubes this year. Kintigh also volunteered with the grain bin safety station during the Ag Adventure event held in Greenfield.

Holliday enjoys many project areas including breeding heifers, clothing and photography. She welded her second “Bucket of Junk” creation this year.

Her first ever action photo was selected for state fair.

Developing her own poultry flock was also a new adventure.

Outstanding junior honors went to Erin Ford, daughter of Craig and Audra Ford of Fontanelle and member of the Washington Stars; and Ethan Blomme, son of Matthew and Lora Blomme of Bridgewater, and Terrin Gettler, daughter of Brian and Samantha Gettler of Fontanelle, both members of the Summerset Citizens.

FFA members attend national leadership conferences ANKENY – Students from FFA chapters across Iowa attended the Discovery, 212 degrees and 360 degrees leadership conferences.

These conferences are an activity of the National FFA Organization made possible by title sponsor Syngenta as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.

Taylor Sorrells, Kayla Luther, Allivea Skarda and Danika Schultes, members of the Creston FFA Chapter, attended the event Nov. 12 at the FFA Enrichment Center in Ankeny.

Discovery is a program offered specifically for seventh- and eighth-grade students and focuses on shift-

ing the leadership focus from “me” to “we” while utilizing the FFA mission.

Participants learned about emotional growth, opportunities in agriculture and how to become a servant leader.

The program 212 degrees – the temperature at which water boils – focuses on taking students to the boiling point of leadership.

At 211 degrees, water is extremely hot, but just one more degree gets us to the next level. The one-day 212 degrees conference is focused on student development and helps FFA members become aware of all aspects of personal growth. FFA members attended sessions on finding their passions, core virtues,

decision-making, character and building connections. Students leave this experience with a personal plan for self-improvement.

The program 360 degrees takes students full circle in terms of chapter leadership. The one-day 360 degrees conference is

focused on the importance of vision and how to become a visionary leader.

Students spent their time in sessions understanding the importance of having a vision for their chapter, setting goals, recruiting followers, being persistent and tracking success. Stu-

dents leave this conference with the necessary understanding and skills to be a person of influence in their chapters and communities.

This school year, more than 7,500 students across the nation will participate in a 212 degrees or 360 degrees leadership

conference. The National FFA Organization provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 629,367 student members who belong to one of 7,757 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S.

CRESTON GIRLS BASKETBALL

Panthers to be a work in progress ■

Creston seeks to replace top offensive threats from last season

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Creston’s girls basketball team starts this season with a couple of key pieces already in place.

Finding out where the rest of the puzzle fits together is something first-year head coach Ryan McKim and assistants Britt Roberts and Mallory Peterson are working to find out as the Panthers seek to build on a 13-9 campaign a season ago.

Finding the weapons offensively will be a bit of a work in progress as the Panthers look to replace last season’s top two scorers after the graduation of Jenna Taylor and Taylor Briley.

Taylor, the program’s all-time

leading scorer, averaged a teamhigh 12.3 points per game and grabbed a team best seven rebounds per game.

Briley, the fourth leading scorer in McKim program history, averaged 11.8 points a contest.

“We’ve got girls that are capable of scoring,” McKim said. “We need to make sure we operate in the offense.”

McKim wants them to understand the fundamentals of a quality possession.

“We talk about the difference between good and great shots,” McKim said. “All of the girls can make great shots. We’ve just got to make

sure we’re taking shots within our offense.”

McKim expects that progress to come over the course of the next three months.

“That’s going to take time for them to understand to understand what we want,” McKim said. “That doesn’t happen overnight.”

Three regulars from last season are back.

Leading way is sophomore Brielle Baker. Baker, who started part time Baker as a freshman, is the top-returning scorer having averaged 8.7 points per game.

“She’s extremely athletic,” McK-

im said. “She’s had success in other sports.”

Developing Baker’s shot off the dribble is a focal point early in the season.

“She’s a great shooter,” McKim said. “We need to work with her to develop that game off the dribble.”

Cammy Rutherford is the top returning post player. She averaged 5.6 points and 6.5 rebounds a game Rutherford last season.

Rutherford’s game has grown significantly the past two seasons.

“She’s worked hard in the GIRLS | 7A

The new sackmaster ■

Bevins sets NWMST sack record, Bearcats roll to playoff win

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

MARYVILLE, MO — Collin Bevins rose up from the turf at Bearcat Stadium with his fists pumped up in the air.

A teammate came over to congratulate him on his second quarterback sack of Emporia State quarterback Braxton Marstall.

The scene repeated itself twice more in the fourth quarter.

By the time the clock reached triple zeroes, there were plenty more high fives and smiles to go around among Bevins, his fellow Bearcat players, coaches and patrons.

Bevins became Northwest Missouri State’s career record holder for sacks and the Bearcat offense was on target from the start in a 44-13 trouncing of Emporia State Saturday in the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs.

Northwest Missouri State defensive end Collin Bevins of Creston latches onto Emporia State quarterback Braxton Marstall for his final sack of the day in the Bearcats’ 44-13 playoff victory Saturday. Bevins had 3.5 sacks and eight total tackles in becoming the school’s all-time sacks leader with 33.

CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON

AT RIGHT —Defensive end Collin Bevins (11) smiles as Northwest Missouri State head coach Adam Dorrel tells reporters that “immediately after this press conference” he was going to send a text message to former Bearcat defensive standout Matt Longacre that Bevins had broken his career sacks record at Northwest. Longacre had 30.5 career sacks and Bevins now has 33 career sacks.

Every possession has to be meaningful for the Creston Panthers boys basketball team during the 2016-2017 season.

While any coach would tell you the same thing, it’s something that head coach Taylor Phipps is pushing early in the season.

“I think the biggest thing for us on defense is just making sure that every trip down the floor on defense that we’re competing like it’s a really important possession, not just giving away an easy bucket here or there, being lazy, sprinting

back, not sprinting back,” Phipps said. “On offense we really want to push the ball when we can, but also make sure we’re sharing the ball with each other and keep the ball moving.”

The Panthers come in off of a 6-16 season and went 4-14 in Hawkeye 10 play last year.

Gone from last season’s squad is starter Cooper McDermott, an integral part of the Panther rotation.

“Definitely need some guys to step into that role and fill his leadership and also just kind of his grit that he played with on both ends of the floor,” Phipps said.

Also gone are the likes of Nick Walsh, Ryan Kucera, Curtis Palm-

er and Travis Purdy.

The Panther boys boast a large roster this winter. A total of 41 players across grades 9-12 are out to hoop it up. Phipps For the varsity, Phipps has a talented guard contingent to work with.

Seniors guards returning include Cody Crawford (5-11), Brenden McDowell (5-11) and Seth Thompson (5-11). Zach Carlson (5-11) comes into the program after transferring from Clarinda and having not played basketball at the

varsity level.

Crawford is a sharpshooter who led the team in 3-pointers a year ago (55) and was second on the team in scoring (12.4 points per game) rebounds (5.2 per game) and assists (60). He was one of four scorers to average at least 10 points per game Juniors Evan Jacobson (5-8) and Cole Higgins (5-11) will fill guard roles on the varsity roster.

Jacobson returns as the primary ball-handler a year removed from being tops on the team in assists (80), He poured in 11.8 points per contest and led the team in 3-pt. shooting percentage (41.0) and free throw percentage for Pan-

thers who had shot at least 10 free throws (74.5).

“I think our guards all of them have different strengths whether it be on the defensive end or shooting the ball or ball handling stuff like that,” Phipps said.

Along the wing will be the likes of seniors Jaden Driskell (6-3), Patrick Normandeau (6-0) and Kyle Somers (6-0).

Junior Kylan Smallwood (6-2) will lead the bunch, and will have a lot of responsibility for the Panthers this year.

Smallwood is coming off a sophomore year in which he led the BOYS | 0A

offseason developing her game facing the basket,” McKim said. “She’s still really strong inside. She’s athletic.”

Rutherford is the second leading returning scorer from last season and will be the focal point of the Panthers offense on the post.

“She has to be a go-to player for us,” McKim said.

Senior Lexie Little is the other key returnee.

Little will be asked to contribute in a variety of ways.

“She’s a really athletic player. She’s one of those scrappy players that can create things on defense. She’s always getting on loose balls.

She rebounds really well.

She scores on offense when the opportunity arises.”

Finding production from the rest of the team will be a key.

“We have some of the pieces, no doubt,” McKim said. “We’ve just got to get it all pieced together in our system.”

Among the players McKim has high hopes for include Madison Callahan.

“Madison Callahan has had a lot of success down at the JV level,” McKim said.

“We expect her to come up and fill a role. She’s going to have to step up for us.”

Becca Ross is another McKim is looking to.

“Becca Ross is somebody who understands the game, who can be another leader for us,” McKim said. “She’s a good ball handler, incredibly smart.”

Others being touted to contribute include Cayla Maitlen and Logan Pettit.

McKim expects the rota-

tion to be a work in progress early on.

“We’ll figure out how all of those girls fit together and what makes us the best team we can possibly be,” McKim said.

The rotation has the possibility of going eight or nine deep.

“If we can identify where everybody’s role is, where everybody fits, we can go eight or nine deep. It depends on the game,” McKim said. “We definitely have kids that can do that, who can run, who are athletic, who can guard in a way that allows us to get out and run.”

What the Panthers lack in height, they make up with in athleticism.

“You look down the roster, we have a lot of 5-8, 5-9 girls,” McKim said. “We’ll look to spread it out, do some open post stuff.”

Creston’s offense will start

with its defense.

“We have to find ways by playing great defense,” McKim said. “We have to try and get out and run, sprinkle in some press, create ways to get shots down in the paint.”

The Panthers post players are athletic enough to create matchup problems.

“We’ve got athletic big players who can step away from the basket, try to get less athletic big players away from the basket,” McKim said.

Creston’s schedule within the Hawkeye 10 Conference will pose a test every night.

“The Hawkeye 10’s wonderful competition,” McKim said. “It’s really good competition night in and night out.”

Gonzaga edges Iowa State 73-71 points and Przemek Karnowki had 11 for Gonzaga (6-0).

Iowa State (5-1) got 29 points from Deonte Burton, 21 in the second half.

“My teammates trusted me,” Burton said.

After falling behind by 18 early in the second half, Monte Morris’ jumper cut the Iowa State deficit to 7069 with 4 minutes to go.

Burton missed a 3 with Iowa State down 72-71 with 17 seconds remaining. The game ended when Morris’ shot that came after the buzzer rimmed out.

Gonzaga had a foul to give and took it with 5 seconds left, which forced an

in-bound pass from Iowa State.

“They made a good decision,” Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said. “I thought we could still execute it.

The one thing I kick myself about is not having a second action after the initial play.”

“We were lucky enough to have it and use it,” Gonzaga coach Mark Few said.

Iowa State used full-court pressure to key a 15-0 run that got the Cyclones to 5855 7 minutes into the second half. Burton had 11 points over the stretch.

“Everything was clicking for everyone,” Burton said.

Spartan men stay perfect with pair of weekend wins CHICAGO — A weekend road trip proved to be quite successful for the Southwestern Community College men’s basketball team.

The NJCAA Division II 11th-ranked Spartans came away with a pair of wins.

SWCC downed Macomb 84-64 on Friday, then topped Kankakee 78-64 Saturday.

“It was good to get out of our regional area and play some teams we don’t see and have some success,” said Southwestern

Panthers in points (13.4 per game) and rebounds (144).

“Our wings have to be able to play inside and outside and guard guys that are going to play inside and outside. We ask a lot of those guys,” Phipps said.

In the post for the Panthers will be seniors Ian Burns (64) and Deaven Reese (6-3) junior Tucker Flynn (6-8), and Trevor Downing (6-5).

Flynn comes back as the most-experienced post player on the Panthers having averaged 2.5 points per game and 4.7 rebounds per game a year ago. He, Downing, Burns and Reese can be expected to rotate frequently.

“A lot of teams in our conference that will have some pretty solid post play-

coach Todd Lorensen. “It makes us better.”

Macomb came in ranked 19th in NJCAA Division II and was undefeated.

The Spartans dominated on both ends of the court in a convincing win.

“We didn’t expect to win by that margin,” Lorensen said. “I was very happy to win by that margin.”

SWCC’s defense put the clamps on Macomb’s offense while being extremely efficient on offense.

“I was very happy with our effort on both ends of the court,” Lorensen said. “Friday, we were really locked in defensively. We made it tough for them to score baskets.”

ers so it’s going to be a tough matchup on both ends of the floor so hopefully we can just continue to get better on both ends of the floor,” Phipps said.

Jacobson, Smallwood and Crawford will have a large chunk of the offensive load heaped upon their shoulders.

“They all do a nice job of putting pressure on teams on offense whether it be driving and penetrating or knocking down an outside shot,” Phipps said. “That’s something that hopefully we can continue to develop on both sides of the floor to just be more efficient and make sure we’re making the right decisions.”

Phipps will expect a lot of his guys coming off the bench.

“Coming off the bench, the biggest thing no matter who it is… is to make sure

The Spartan offense wasn’t quite as crisp Saturday, but the defense was equally impressive.

“We didn’t play as well as we did Friday, but we still found a way to extend it down the stretch.”

SWCC had a balanced offensive attack in both games.

“Everybody contributed both nights,” Lorensen said. “We had multiple guys in the 10, 15, 16 point range,” Lorensen said.

“That balance has been good for us so far this season.”

That depth and balance makes for a dangerous combination for the Spartans.

you’re bringing a high level of intensity and bringing some energy into the game,” Phipps said. “Also making sure that we’re communicating with each other. We ask our bench to really be locked into the game and know what’s going on and know what calls we’re making nor what defense we’re in or kind of know the scouting report and the opponent.”

Todd Jacobson returns as junior varsity coach with a large roster and plenty of options.

“Coach Jacobson does a really good job of making sure that it’s fun but also raising the competitive nature of practice with this those JV guys to make sure we contin-

“It’s nice on any given night we can have multiple guys who have solid stat lines, not do anything out of the ordinary and still be successful,” Lorensen said.

UP NEXT — SWCC (8-0) is back on the court Friday and Saturday in Ottumwa. The Spartans will take on Richard J. Daley College Friday and have a rematch with Kankakee Saturday.

“This weekend will be very similar,” Lorensen said. “Kankakee will be interesting to see how we come back this Saturday and see how we do again a week later.”

BEARCATS: CONT. FROM | 6A

Bevins finished with three and a half sacks and eight tackles overall.

He is now in sole possession of the all-time sack record at Northwest Missouri State.

Matt Longacre, now with the Los Angeles Rams, had the previous record with 30.5 sacks.

Bevins relished what it meant to pass his former teammate.

“It’s big to be mentioned in the same sentence as Matt Longacre, to see what he’s done in the NFL,” Bevins said. “It’s an honor.

“I’m really happy I could be up there and leave my mark on Northwest football.”

Bevins wasn’t expecting the kind of day he ended up having.

“I didn’t think that was going to happen,” Bevins said.

The record had been in sight for most of the season for Bevins.

He was finally able to break it as the number one Bearcats rolled to their 27th straight win in front of 5,119 at Bearcat Stadium.

“It was nice to get the monkey off my back,” Bevins said.

Bevins has continued to grow and excel in his final season as a Bearcat.

“The thing I really appreciate about Collin is sometimes in my years of coaching when you have a good player, sometimes they may fizzle out towards the end of their career cause things come so easy for them,” said Northwest Missouri State coach Adam Dorrel. “I don’t feel that way with him at all.

He’s a guy that has continued to push himself to be the best he can be.”

Bevins has been a strong student of the game off the field.

“Colin is very meticulous with his film study,” Dorrel said.

Bevins’ unselfish play has helped the defense remain stout this season.

“He’s a great teammate,” Dorrel said. “We allow him some flexibility to call his own game on the field. Usually the first guy through on the twist is going to bring up the double team and the guy coming around is going to come free. You’d be surprised how many times he allows himself to be the first one through the gates.”

As Bevins continues to become a better player, the future appears bright.

“We’re very proud of what he stands for. He’s a Bearcat through and through,” Dorrel said. “We’re going to hate to see him go. He’s got more football in front of him.

That’s what we’re hearing from the NFL scouts.”

Northwest Missouri State’s interior linemen took all of the attention of Emporia State’s guards and center.

It left Bevins and fellow defensive end Cass Weitl free reign on the outside.

“We knew the key to the game was inside pressure,” Bevins said. “We knew if we could get that, that would leave me and Cass on the outside one-on-one with the tackles. If we did that, we could have a good day.”

It certainly was a good day for the former Panther star.

When Bevins and Weitl weren’t sacking Marstall, they were knocking him down regularly or forcing the Hornets quarterback to release the ball earlier than desired.

“We executed the game plan,” Bevins said.

Going against a single block has been a rare sight for Bevins this season.

Most of the time, he’s been blocked by multiple offensive players.

Saturday, he was one-onone most of the game. Bevins took advantage.

“He’s been getting double teamed and chipped a lot of the times,” Dorrel said.

Defensive tackles Caleb Mather and Bobby Gruenloh were key in freeing up Bevins for a big day.

“When those d-ends are getting home, it’s those inside guys in the A gap and B gap that are doing their job and not allowing the guard to chip them and get out and help,” Dorrell said.

“Give credit to the guys inside. They played really well.

They ate up a lot of quality snaps.”

Northwest Missouri State’s defensive line helped the unit hold Emporia State to negative 30 yards rushing.

Emporia State’s rush game concerned Dorrel and his staff coming in.

The Hornets could never generate much on the ground, forcing the visitors to pass more often than planned.

“What scared us is the way they ran the ball last week in Duluth. We know what Duluth is all about,” Dorrel said. “We couldn’t allow them to be balanced like they were last week. We had to try to take away that run game and put them in obvious pass situations.”

Emporia State did pass for

Northwest Missouri State defensive end Collin Bevins of Creston celebrates after recording a sack of Emporia State quarterback Braxton Marstall during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s NCAA Division II playoff game im Maryville, Mo. Behind three and a half sacks from Bevins, the Bearcats rolled to a 44-13 win at Bearcat Stadium.

for 327 yards.

That wasn’t enough for the Hornets as they were held to 13 points, all coming in the second quarter.

“Those guys were going to get their catches,” Dorrel said. “I was proud of our guys. We were in great position and they came across like they were supposed too.”

Northwest Missouri State kept its focus on Emporia State before starting to look forward to Saturday’s quarterfinal game against Harding.

“We beat a really good football team,” Dorrel said.

“Our guys were very percep-

truelife.org

tive of the opponent we were playing. They knew the challenge in front of them.”

Meanwhile, the Bearcat offense clicked on all cylinders.

The Bearcats jumped out of the gate with a 17-0 lead after the first quarter.

“It was huge,” Zimmerman said. “We talked about it all week about trying to come out strong.”

Northwest Missouri State’s energy offensively was too much for Emporia State.

“When we play with a lot of energy on offense, we have a lot of success,” Zimmerman said. “We came out

really energized. We executed really well in the first quarter.”

Zimmerman had a hand in both first quarter scores, connecting with Shane Williams on a 6-yard pass to start the scoring, then running in from 1-yard out a few minutes later.

Zimmerman passed for 186 yards and one score.

Cameron Wilcox led a balanced rushing attack with 72 yards on eight carries.

Kicker Simon Mathiesen gave the Bearcats a 17-0 edge on a 38-yard field goal late in the first quarter.

Emporia State cut into the lead a little bit with a 12-yard

strike from Marstall to Justin Brown in the second quarter.

Northwest Missouri State’s offense kept on clicking.

On a trick play, running back Randy Schmidt found Jordan Bishop on inside screen pass that covered 52 yards.

The pass play has been in Schmidt’s arsenal for weeks.

They broke it out Saturday with spectacular results.

“We go into each week trying to build on his package,” Dorrel said. “We haven’t thrown a lot of passes with him. We said we were going to break it big with him.”

Emporia State struck on a last second touchdown at the end of the first half on a 41yard pass from Marstall to Louis Dailey.

The Hornet offense had no answer for the Bearcat defensive pressure.

“The defense was huge,” Dorrel said. “We harassed their quarterback.

We played really well against a good defense.”

The Bearcat defense even found its way into the scoring column. Linebacker Jarrod Bishop picked off a Marstall pass and took it back 65 yards for a score to close out the scoring.

It was a first for the Bearcats junior linebacker, as he and his twin, Jordan Bishop, both scored for the first time in the same game at Northwest Missouri State.

“It was something new,” Jarrod Bishop said. “I just happened to be there to make a play.”

Northwest Missouri State continues to roll right along heading into the quarterfinal game with Harding (13-0).

Harding upset the University of Sioux Falls 27-24 in South Dakota.

“This is a big momentum boost for next week,” Bevins said. “Harding’s a good football team. They come in with a good offense. We’re going to have to be stout on defense.”

Creston FFA members and students in Creston High School’s career seminar class decorate the restored Creston Depot in preparation for the community’s holiday festivities. Pictured, in front from left, are Morgan Shawler, Mattie Wheeler, Trevor Marlin, Kayla Luther and Macy Evans; in back are Chase Shiltz, Cody Tanner, Matt Hoffman, Ian Burns, Kadon Hulett and Tom Steinbach.

All is merry and bright at the restored Creston Depot, thanks to the help of the Creston FFA Chapter and Creston Community High School career seminar class.

Students and members assisted in decorating the depot Friday, Nov. 18, in preparation for the Creston community’s lighted Christmas parade Dec. 1. Students taking part in volunteer activities is an important character-building experience, according to Florida State University Extension Specialist Molly Latham.

According to Latham’s research, students who volunteer at least three times per year have a stronger adult work ethic and become adult volunteers themselves.

Creston FFA has many philanthropic activities planned this winter starting with decorating the depot.

The chapter also has a secret Santa initiative where they get classes and organizations in the school district to adopt families in the community.

In the past, Creston FFA’s initiative has been instrumental in adopting 20-plus families annually. The chapter will also begin a personal-care item drive following Thanksgiving, were students will be encouraged to donate toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner and

other personal-care items that will be donated to O’Riley Center food pantry in Creston. And, FFA will collect clean gently used toys to donate to the Community Center this Christmas season. Any donations are welcome and can be dropped off at Creston High School.

“Through these philanthropic activities, our members are able to view the community through a different lens. Not only are we able to give back to our community, but also be involved in heartwarming and meaningful experiences that we will never forget,” said Creston FFA Chapter President Matilyn Wheeler. “Throughout my four years in FFA, my favorite activity has remained the same, deNovember 9, 2016 Minutes livering Christmas Prairie Solid Waste Agency,food 1774 Lark Ave, Creston, in IA. our baskets to families Chair Angell called the meeting to order at 5:17 PM.

Sale: Vickie Stephens of Creston checks out the holiday sale on Black Friday at Maurices in

Creston. The clothing store had a deal of buy one, get one 50 percent off on all its in-store items.

With deals offered early, will shoppers buy on Cyber Monday?

NEW YORK (AP) — Millions of Americans pause during the Monday after Thanksgiving to check out online deals and check off people on their holiday gift list. But, so-called Cyber Monday may be in danger of losing its online sales title.

The Monday after Thanksgiving is traditionally the busiest online shopping day of the year, but stores are releasing internet deals earlier, stretching them through the week, as well as making them available in stores. Shoppers looking for discounts spurred online sales on Black Friday to a new high.

During the holiday shopping weekend that kicks off on Thanksgiving and the day afterward known as Black Friday, more and more shoppers decide to skip the mayhem in stores and buy online.

Cyber Monday still packs the biggest punch in terms of a single online shopping day — for now. Shoppers spent $540 million between midnight and 10 a.m. Eastern time on Monday, affirming that sales are expected to total $3.36 billion, up 9.4 percent from a year ago, according to an early tally by Adobe Digital Insights, which tracks online retail transactions.

But other days are catching up. Adobe’s forecast puts Cyber Monday neckand-neck with Black Friday, when consumers spent $3.34 billion, a 21.6 percent jump from last year.

Retailers rolled out more sales on Monday: Amazon offered $40 off the normally $180 Echo smart speaker and 60 percent off a KitchenAid stand mixer, at $220 down from $550. Walmart offered $100 off a regularly priced $300 Power Wheels Disney Frozen Jeep Wrangler motorized toy car. And Target offered an extra 15 percent on Sunday and Monday — both online and in stores. It offered a deal on a Samsung 43 inch flat panel TV for

$200 off its regular price of $600, plus a $50 giftcard with purchase.

“The deals are better today than Friday, for sure,” said Michelle Chernicoff in Largo, Florida, who picked up an Eye Brush Set half off its regular price of $25 at Ulta.com for a gift for her sister. But she said she shops online throughout the holiday season for the convenience more than the oneday-only deals.

“I’m looking for at least 30 percent off on higher end items I’m purchasing for my family,” she said. “I have a huge family; shopping the deals between Black Friday and Cyber Monday give me the opportunity to buy better quality items while keeping a budget.”

Online sales have also been stretching out more and more. Cartwheel, Target’s digital app, started offering holiday deals including 50 percent off one toy per day on Nov. 1. Amazon started offering 35 days of Black Friday deals on Nov. 16. And Walmart kicked off its Cyber Monday deals at 12:01 a.m.

EST Friday for the first time as it aimed to grab customers ahead of its competitors.

Madison Agnello took advantage of the early online sales, picking up a 43-inch LG 4K Smart TV at half of its original $600 price tag the week before Cyber Monday.

“I’m shopping soon rather than later, to get it over with and not having to worry about things being sold out,”

Agnello said.

But she still hopped online Monday to check out the deals. She required at least 20 percent off and free shipping to buy. She picked up a pair of Adidas on Adidas. com, for $30 off the original price of $120 and free shipping.

“One more gift then I’m done Christmas shopping!,” she said.

Cyber Monday, which is the Monday after Thanksgiving, has been the busiest day of the year for online shopping since 2010. The phrase was coined in 2005 to encourage online buying when people returned to offices where they had high-speed internet connections.

The term is still used to promote heavy discounts online, even though most people now have constant access to the web via their phones and computers. ComScore expects mobile sales to make up 20 percent of online sales for the first time this year, and Adobe said mobile purchases surged 33 percent on Black Friday to $1.2 billion.

Promotions have changed in response to buying patterns. Instead of door-buster markdowns on a select few products, retailers are shifting to a stream of discounts and alerts during the entire week via email and social media.

“It’s really this weeklong flow of deals,” said Shawn DuBravac, chief economist at the Consumer Technology Association.
