Iowa abortion ban temporarily halted

By BAILEY POOLMAN

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

A ruling to ban telemedicine abortions in Iowa was halted Tuesday after an Iowa judge ordered a temporary stay on the decision.

Iowa Board of Medicine voted Aug. 30 to set rules for telemedicine abortion, five years after Iowa became the first state in the nation to offer the pro-

gram.

Polk County District Judge Karen Romano ordered the stay on the decision, which would have gone into effect Wednesday.

Temporary stay

According to a Des Moines Register story, Romano “expressed sympathy for Planned Parenthood’s argument that the medical board’s rule singled out the private agency’s video system, which has similarities

to other health care providers’ systems.”

The ban focuses around a technology, which was first used in Iowa, that allows women in rural areas of the state, such as Creston, to receive medication for an abortion without having to drive to a clinic in a more populated area.

Iowa Board of Medicine voted 8-2 to require abortion patients to meet with a doctor in person before being provided

abortion pills, and to schedule an in-person follow-up visit.

“With respect to the lack of an in-person meeting, it is peculiar, as petitioners point out, that the board would mandate this for abortion services and not any other telemedicine practices in Iowa,” Romano wrote in the temporary stay. “There is simply no evidence the court can Please see ABORTION, Page 2

Wallace Centers 11th annual Holiday Boutique

ORIENT — The Wallace Centers of Iowa Country Life Center 11th annual Holiday Boutique is scheduled from Nov. 21-23. The boutique features hand-crafted products from southern Iowa vendors. The event is an offshoot of the gift shop’s inventory of local crafts.

“It culminates the end of our growing season and the beginning of most people’s holidays,” said Wallace Centers CEO and Program Developer Diane Weiland.

“It highlights how creative people are in this area.”

Weiland Thursday will serve as a preview from 5:30 to 8 p.m. with Iowa wine tasting and holiday treats for $5. The OrientMacksburg Friends of the Library will also hold their annual homemade candy sale. Friday will have a lunch 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Gathering Barn. Reservations are not required for the lunch, but are required for the dinner from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The Country Life Center will also be open Saturday 9 a.m. to noon.

Students at the Southwestern Community College agricultural site are cramming for one of their larger projects of the semester.

Unlike typical college students who stay up late working on homework or studying before a big test, the ag students will be up before the sun Sunday to prepare for the 2013 Breeders Classic.

“It’s the student’s responsibility to run the entire sale,” said SWCC Agricultural Instructor Erika Blair. “They start about 5 a.m. rewashing the cattle to make sure they look good.”

The event starts at 1 p.m. and will feature show calves, bred production heifers and breeding heifers. Blair said the students have 30 head of cattle in the main auction and there will be five sold in a silent lot sale after the main event.

Students in the livestock merchandising class have spent the entire semester preparing the ag site — located just north of SWCC’s main campus — for the sale, promoting the event in the community and contacting cattle farmers to buy and sell at the livestock auction.

“We’ve been clipping and grooming, getting the cattle ready to look presentable,”

Southwestern Community College ag students will host the 2013 Breeders Classic. The event will feature 30 show calves, bred production females, and breeding heifers and will have a silent lot sale following the main event.

sophomore Ben Ostendorf said. “We also have spent a lot of time cleaning up shop because we want the place to look Ostendorf nice.”

The sale features cattle from all over the state. Blair said a lot of the cattle are from southwest Iowa, but students encourage cattlemen from their hometowns to participate.

Class activity Blair said the class is structured to teach students every aspect of preparing for a livestock sale including design layout for fliers and catalogs and radio ads.

“We go through how to wash and take care of the animals on a daily basis,” Blair said. “We also learn specific techniques like how to properly break calves to lead.”

SWCC students will lead the cattle through the show and present video and pictures of each animal in the sale. At the

conclusion of the event, the students will also help with loadout.

“We’ve been talking about what it takes to create a sale atmosphere,” Ostendorf said.

“The pros and cons and costs that go into being on the merchandising side of livestock.”

The event is not a major fundraiser for the SWCC ag students.

Blair said any profit will be used to fund ag club activities. The livestock judging team will have raffle items and pies available as a fundraiser at the sale.

rely on to come to the conclusion that the telemedicine abortion procedures, which have been offered for five years without issue, do not ‘protect the health and safety of patients.’”

Planned Parenthood of the Heartland President Jill June agreed with Romano’s decision.

“There was no medical evidence or information presented to the board that questions the safety of our telemedicine delivery system,” June said. “We are confident the court will see this unjust rule will only hurt Iowa women by delaying access to health care.”

Opposition However, Iowa Board of Medicine members still stand by their decision.

“The court’s decision to stay implementation of the rule perpetuates what the board believes is inadequate health care and treatment for Iowans who seek medical abortions,” said Iowa Board of Medicine’s Executive Director Mark Bowden in an email to the Des Moines Register.

Iowa Board of Medicine accepted a petition in June that recommended banning the telemedicine abortion system used by Planned Parenthood, then held a hearing in August before the vote Aug. 30.

The pro-life group Iowa Right to Life released a statement after Romano stayed the ban, stating “it would be correct to say that we believe in the sanctity of life of the unborn, but we are equally concerned for the safety of born women.”

Iowa Right to Life advocate Pat Pokorny of Creston said in a previous interview with Creston News Advertiser she agreed with the medical board’s decision.

“We’re just praying for the babies, and the mothers, and those that work in the clinics that they will realize just how precious life is,” Pokorney said.

Telemedical abortion The telemedical abortion system is seldom used in Creston, averaging up to six uses per year, said Planned Parenthood administrators.

According to Planned Parenthood administrators, the low statistics could be caused by people comfortable with traveling to Des Moines for health care, or wanting anonymity. Prices for abortions are the same at Creston and Des Moines clinics.

A telemedical abortion starts with a visit between patient and doctor on a video call. When the patient is comfortable, the doctor pushes a button and a drawer opens on the patient’s end of the call.

In the drawer is the abortion medication mifepristone. The doctor watches the patient take the pill.

After taking the drug, the patient takes up to three days of misoprostol, which is the drug that actually makes the abortion occur.

A surgical abortion is the opposite of a medical abortion and requires a procedure.

Where a medical abortion cannot take place after nine weeks, a surgical abortion can occur during various stages of pregnancy.

Rise in health care costs for some tied to more benefits MILWAUKEE (MCT) — If you like your health plan, President Barack Obama said repeatedly and emphatically, you will be able to keep it.

It was a perfect sound bite as he extolled the benefits of health care reform, and it held true for most people — but not everyone.

A small percentage of Americans — particularly those who get health insurance on their own, rather than through their employer — are now learning that the Affordable Care Act requires them to buy new health plans that provide additional benefits at a higher cost.

The situation was wellknown all along, at least in the insurance industry and in health policy circles.

“It was an inevitable shoe that was going to drop,” said Tom Miller, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a policy research organization. “That doesn’t mean that it was widely understood or perceived.

The Affordable Care Act, commonly known as “Obamacare,” imposes an array of new regulations on the market for health insurance sold directly to individuals and families.

“The entire individual insurance market is being changed,” said William Custer, an associate professor and director of the Center for Health Services Research at Georgia State University.

Under the new requirements: —Health plans must provide a package of essential benefits, including preventive care, maternity care and mental health coverage.

—Out-of-pocket expenses, such as deductibles and co-

pays, are capped.

—Health insurers are barred from charging women higher rates than men.

—Annual and lifetime caps on benefits are eliminated.

“One of the purposes of the Affordable Care Act was to try to improve the quality of insurance that people buy,” said Henry Aaron, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

Estimates on the size of the individual market nationally vary widely. A common estimate is 15 million, but the U.S. Census Bureau puts it at 19.4 million people.

An estimated 156 million people, in contrast, get health insurance through an employer. For them, the only changes they will notice next year are those made by their employer.

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and Humana, two of the biggest health insurers in the Milwaukee market, did not respond to requests for information on how many of their customers’ plans were being modified or canceled.

Some people who buy health insurance on their own could come out ahead.

For example, they may have health plans that would not meet the new requirements, such as plans with very high deductibles or limited benefits, because that is all they can afford. Under the new rules, they may be eligible for subsidies, in the form of tax credits, that will lower the cost of their plan, and their coverage will be better.

The subsidies drop sharply, though, for people with household incomes above 250 percent of the federal poverty threshold, or $28,725

for one person and $58,575 for a family of four.

And without question, some people will be forced to buy more coverage, at a higher cost, than they now have or want. For instance, people who are healthy may have health plans with very high deductibles or limited benefits because they only want to insure against catastrophic medical expenses.

“There will be people who don’t want to spend as much on coverage as the administration would like,” said Miller of the American Enterprise Institute.

The higher premiums stem

partly from the law’s barring health insurers from denying coverage to people with preexisting health problems or charging them higher rates.

Those practices produced “a situation in which those most in need of health care face the highest premiums — premiums frequently so high that they are virtually unaffordable,” Aaron said.

The new rules will produce winners and losers.

In general, people who are young and healthy will subsidize people who are older and sicker.

Ever Alexander Ramirez Borjas, 25, of Honduras was charged with careless driving and operating without a driver’s license 7:45 p.m. Saturday.

According to a Lenox Police report, officers observed a 2002 Hyundai being operated in a careless manner at the intersection of Maple and Van Buren streets in Lenox. Officers stopped the vehicle. The driver did not speak English, used a Honduran government identification card to identify himself as Borjas and no record of a driver’s license could be found.

The vehicle was impounded. Borjas was transported to Taylor County Jail.

Upon further investigation, a records check showed Borjas had been previously deported for illegal entry into the United States. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials placed a detainer on Borjas, and Borjas was being held pending federal action.

Creston News Advertiser Thursday, November 7, 2013

With the help of my friend and coworker Sarah Brown, I got into an artsy mindset and made a piece of crayon art Sunday.

Crayon art is really easy. Hot glue crayons to a canvas and melt the colorful wax with a hair dryer. The hot wax blends and drips down the canvas, creating a picture. Shapes can be made in the wax, and so many color combinations are available, from rainbows to all blues like water, or all yellows like sunshine.

I went to Sarah’s house and she set up a little nook for me in

OPINION Art on the brain Girl on fire Bailey Poolman staff writer

her sewing room. I worked on my crayon art, she worked on her purses and her 2-year-old son Fletcher ran around the room pretending to be Spiderman.

I love going into a friend’s house, and seeing how their brain works based on what their

creative space looks like. Sarah nearly finished two clutches, the suede and vivid fabrics attached to the hard frame, while I peeled crayon wrappers and shot hot air at the wax.

What I love about crayon art, besides how easy and cheap it is, is that I can be creative in other ways. I was never the painting or sculpting type in school, so finding this simple art form is exciting. I can create rainbows on a canvas, or bunch greens and browns together to make a forest.

My art piece looked like fire,

with reds, oranges and yellows patterned from dark to light, then back to dark against the white background. Melting the wax made the fire aspect even more noticeable.

The canvas is now hanging on my living room wall.

Speaking of art, I discovered something new Sunday on television. Television can be considered artistic, and I think “The Blacklist” is a very artistic crime drama.

“The Blacklist” centers on an FBI profiler who partners with a criminal to take out dangerous

criminals around the world, most of whom are unknown even to governmental agencies. Actor James Spader plays the criminal, but there are twists and turns within the show concerning the profiler and her husband, and the criminal’s connection to the profiler.

I watched five episodes of NBC’s new show Sunday while visiting my parents before heading back to Creston, and I know I’ll be on the lookout for the first season when it is available on DVD.

Green Bay Packer Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Green Bay Packer Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone against Chicago Monday and was lost. His fans are furious. They were told if you like your quarterback you get to keep your quarterback, but now they learn it’s only if the collarbone was grandfathered in.

The U.S. offered to help referee a dispute between Hong Kong and the Philippines over an old hostage drama. Negotiations would be tricky between Hong Kong and the United States. It’s a self-ruling former British colony but is owned by China, and so is Hong Kong.

Daily Variety said Fox is making a TV series about legendary Boston mobster Whitey Bulger.

The convicted mobster hid in L.A. for sixteen years before the FBI found him. If you’ve really got what it takes, nothing will keep you from being discovered in Los Angeles.

The Miami Dolphins fired guard Richie Incognito for bullying a rookie. He promised to break the kid’s limbs and extorted him for fifteen grand. The scouting report by the Gambino crime family reads that Richie Incognito has everything it takes to be a top earner.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admitted Tuesday that he smoked crack cocaine last year during a drunken spree. They love him up there. Rob Ford has an overeating problem and an alcohol problem and a cocaine problem, which in Canada is known as the hat trick.

Willie Nelson told a TV interviewer Monday he’s writing a book about his life and he promises to discuss his pot smoking. His band shouldn’t have his name on the bus. The last time the cops pulled it over, they were sitting at a stop sign, waiting for it to turn green.

Larry King interviewed Rob Lowe about playing John F. Kennedy in the movie Killing Ken-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

nedy on the host’s new talk show on cable. The show is a welcome sight. Larry King decided to return to work after spending the first two years of his retirement opening a jar.

The Pentagon cleaned up a security breach involving President Obama’s command over national defense. It’s vital. Everywhere the president goes, he is followed by a U.S. general who carries a briefcase containing the codes to the latest ObamaCare explanation.

The White House promised Tuesday to have the ObamaCare website running in four weeks.

The engineers are working on it.

A computer allows you to make more mistakes than any invention in human history, with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila.

President Obama’s job approval tanked Monday after he changed his story on what he promised on ObamaCare. There is a solution. This is the point in every president’s life when Dick Cheney comes into the oval office and lays out Operation Change the Subject.

Iran street protesters pounded on the cars of Westerners Monday as they celebrated Revolution Day. War may be imminent. Americans will tolerate being taken hostage and we will endure airport security all because Iran hates us, but we draw the line at car abuse.

Cal Tech astronomers sent a Kepler telescope into space and found billions of planets like Earth in our galaxy. What a relief. The NSA is so bored with the two billion people here on Earth it already knows everything about and it’s desperate for new dirt on beings.

Creston Chamber of Commerce happenings November is a special month for the Creston Chamber of Commerce. It is our anniversary month.

This year we will celebrate our 74th year in existence. We have certainly come a long way over the years. We of course could not have done it without the continued support of our members, friends and the Creston Community. It is only through this support the chamber can continue to grow and continue our mission of “promoting and showcasing the community,” and at the same time be a “leadership organization which helps to unify the community,” as we “map a course for Creston’s future development.” Thank you to everyone.

This time of year also finds the chamber busy finalizing plans for the upcoming holiday season. I will apologize to you now for doing this so early in the month, but this is when the chamber column appears in the paper, and doing it this way will give all of you time to make your plans for this fun time.

It does seem hard to believe, but in less than a month we will be celebrating Thanksgiving and then a week later we will be celebrating “No Place Like Creston for the Holidays.” Below is a partial listing of what will be happening Dec. 5–8. For a complete listing, please stop by the chamber for a calendar of events or visit our website at www.crestoniowachamber.com.

This year’s lighted Christmas parade will be held on the evening of Dec. 5 beginning at 7 p.m. This is a fun and spectacular event that any business, group, family or individual can be part of, the only stipulation is that your entry needs to be lighted and have a Christmas theme. If you would like to be involved, please begin lining up on Mills at Walnut by 6:40 p.m. If you have any questions, please call the

Creston Chamber Ellen Gerharz Executive Director

Chamber at 782-7021. We would love to have you involved.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will also be visiting the Christmas Castle at the Depot the day of the lighted Christmas parade, Dec. 5, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. The Friends of the Library will have their elves on hand to take pictures with the jolly old soul for a fee and serving free hot cider and donut holes. The Appalachian Service Project group will be serving a soup supper in the meal site on the 5th, as well, starting at 5 p.m.

An exciting conclusion to the Dec. 5 activities will be the fireworks display that can be seen just to the southeast of Uptown Creston after the lighted Christmas parade. You should be able to see the fireworks from almost anywhere in the Uptown area. We want to thank the Shooters for their help with this.

Plans are also underway for the 11th annual Comfort and Joy Quilt Show, sponsored by Patches and Pieces Quilt Guild, Quilts and Other Notions and American Home Design Center. The exhibit will be on display at Quilts and Other Notions Creative Center, 201 N. Elm St. The quilt show will open at 9 a.m. Dec. 5 and be available to the public through Dec. 7. Admission to the show is $2 or two canned food items that will be donated to the food pantry. A Block Walk will also take place during this time at various businesses in Uptown Creston in association with the quilt show. A quilt raffle will also be taking place.

During the “No Place Like Creston for the Holidays,” the Festival of Trees will be going on at American Home Design Center from Dec. 5–7. This is a great venue to walk through and view all of the wonderfully decorated trees. Silent bids will be taken during the event for individuals to purchase the trees. The Festival of Trees is sponsored by the Crisis Intervention and Advocacy Center.

Santa will again be at the Depot on Saturday, Dec. 14, from 9 a.m. to noon and pictures with Santa are available again for a fee. Also on the 14th, the CARE Craft and Goodie Boutique will be taking place in the meal site area.

There truly is “No Place Like Creston for the Holidays.”

Hi-Five Honor The following individuals received the Hi-Five Honor for great customer service in October. Congratulations to Morgan Oetken, Office Machines; and Thane Glynn with Countryside Products.

The Hi-Five for Service allows us to recognize those who make shopping and doing business in Creston a rewarding and positive experience.

Gold Star Business Honored The chamber honored The Pizza Ranch this month as the November Gold Star Business in Creston.

They were nominated by a fellow Crestonians because of the appearance both inside and out of their building and property. Congratulations.

Remember to call the chamber with your Hi-Five or Gold Star Honoree.

Have a great month, and though it is a bit early, we here at the Creston Chamber of Commerce wish you a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

ENTERTAINMENT

Ring around the commode Dear Heloise: I have a HARD-WATER RING inside my toilet. You had a solution in The Grand Rapids (Mich.) Press some time ago.

Would you please reprint it?

— Donald in Michigan This is an easy fix, Donald.

Start breaking down the stain by pouring several cups of full-strength household vinegar into the bowl. After 10 minutes, scrub and flush.

If the stain lingers, drain the water from the bowl by forceflushing the toilet. To do this, fill a mop bucket a little more than halfway and steadily pour down the toilet, which will drain from the pressure of the water. Then put toilet paper over the stained area and soak it with vinegar. Let this sit, and scrub later. Vinegar is all-natural, environmentally friendly and, best of all, cheap! For more money-saving hints that use vinegar, order my Heloise’s Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More pamphlet by sending $5 and a long, stamped (66 cents), self-addressed envelope to: Heloise/ Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Have hard-to-remove stains on bathroom fixtures? Cover with tissue, spray with vinegar and leave on for a bit before scrubbing off. — Heloise

Hints from Heloise KEY CAUTION Dear Heloise: I have read many hints in your column about security and car keys.

When I know I am going somewhere that I will be using valet parking, I always grab my spare key. It is on a key chain by itself. When I get to the valet, I hand the person the spare key and keep my regular keys with me. This way, the valet only has access to the car and nothing else, like my home keys, etc. — A Reader, via email Very smart, and I do the same thing. — Heloise SCRATCHED SURFACE Dear Heloise: Can you suggest anything to remove a scratch from a bathroom mirror, probably caused by wearing a ring while cleaning? — Jamie, via email Jamie, I can try to help.

Scratches can be hard to get rid of. It sounds like the scratch is on the surface. If it is a light scratch, you can try to buff it out with a compound, which can be found at a glass-supply store. Use the powdered form,

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

put it on a damp cloth and rub in a circular motion. This can be tough and will take some elbow grease. Hopefully, this will help remove the scratch.

And this is a good hint to remind other readers not to wear jewelry while cleaning.

— Heloise

BY THE POUND Dear Heloise: Between your mom and my mom, I got a great education in “domestic engineering.” One hint that your mom wrote in one of her books, and that my mom gave me along the way, was while doing housework, pretend you are moving and the movers are charging by the pound. I found that it is the encouragement I needed. — Linda T., North Port, Fla. This is a good way to clean BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker out a closet. Do one closet or drawer a week, and throw out junk and pass on good things to charity. — Heloise Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise@Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

Fall into great tabletop decorating ideas (BPT) — Saying goodbye to summer doesn’t have to be a sentimental ending when you consider it’s also a beginning - the kick off to autumn and the holiday season. The promise of fall is in the air. It’s a great time to dress up your home for fall entertaining; whether that means friends gathered around the television rooting for your favorite team or the ultimate traditional Thanksgiving feast.

“Decorating trends for this fall are really fun and functional,” says visual merchandiser John Griffith.

“Colors that evoke a sense of nostalgia and family are a really big part of the visual design message for autumn 2013. Reds, golds and oranges are trending this fall. These hues are not only warm and comforting; they’re reflective of the season.”

Griffith and teammate Julie Robbins add their own unique spin on the latest trends to create seasonal design vignettes for Replacements, Ltd., the world’s largest retailer of old and new china, crystal, silver and collectibles. Whether you are planning a casual

family gathering or an elegant dinner party, Robbins suggests easy ways to mix in great fall colors. This can be as simple as adding a charger plate or colorful serving pieces.

“Using colored glass is fantastic way of infusing autumn colors to create a seasonal feel,” says Robbins. “Amber colored glass is really popular this fall because the rich, warm color goes with so many patterns and designs. I’m big on the pressed vintage patterns; depression glass, coin glass and sandwich glass are all very lovely and nostalgic.

We’re actually mixing and matching patterns from historic American glassmakers including Federal, Indiana Glass and Fostoria on our tables. It looks great to mix designs which share the same colors or combine an array of colors within a place setting.”

Metal serveware is another popular trend this fall.

“We’re incorporating metal serveware into many of our displays because you can do so much with it from a design standpoint,” says Griffith. “These are great accent pieces you can dress up or down, plus it is family-

and football-season friendly. Metal serveware is also very functional. Once heated, the alloy retains warmth to keep food warmer longer or cooler if you chill these pieces. Plus it is easy to clean and doesn’t have to be polished. We’re using a lot of fun shapes, like leafshaped pieces and turkey platters.”

Fall’s bountiful harvest translates into the home this season. Robbins is using natural elements in her table designs that evoke a sense of the first Thanksgiving.

“I suggest filling vases,

glasses or serving bowls with dried beans, acorns or even kernels of dried deer corn. Not only does this look pretty, you can also mix in candles or flowers and use these natural elements to hold those items in place.”

Robbins adds apples, gourds, pumpkins and green pears are among fruits and vegetables you can use on your table or anywhere in your home to create a brilliant splash of color. She says you can find more decorating ideas at Replacements’ YouTube channel and Facebook page.

Help nurture kids’ love of nature with easy, basic, backyard bird-feeding tips (BPT) — Parents and children enjoy spending quality time together, but it’s not always easy to find shared interests. The backyard, however, can provide the perfect place for generations to meet when parents help kids learn the delights of bird-watching and bird-feeding.

Interacting with backyard birds benefits children on many levels, including teaching them the responsibility of caring for other living things to nurturing their appreciation of nature. Fall and winter are the perfect times to introduce kids to backyard bird care; as food sources dwindle in their natural habitat, birds will frequent a backyard where feeders serve up seed and suet daily.

The wild bird experts at Cole’s Wild Bird Products offer some guidance for families launching bird feeding lessons: Feeder facts: Different bird species like different types of feeders, but some styles, such as tube feeders, will attract a large variety of birds. Basic bird feeder styles include: • Tube - Best for serving seed, tube feeders keep the contents clean and dry, providing birds with access to the food through feeding ports.

They’re great all-purpose feeders and will attract the most variety of songbirds.

It’s important to clean tube feeders regularly, so choose a model that’s easy to clean.

Cole’s high-quality tubular

feeders are made with stateof-the-art materials to prevent warping, discoloration, and they feature Quick Clean removable bases that make cleaning fast and simple.

Feeder bottoms pop off with the push of a button.

• Bowl feeders - If separating seeds into different feeders gets too complicated, bowl feeders can be an all-in, easy solution. Options like Cole’s Bountiful Bowl Feeder can accommodate a variety of feed types, from seed and suet to mealworms, fruits and nuts.

Bowl feeders are especially good starter feeders for children since they are easy to fill and clean.

• Suet feeders - During cold winter months, suet is an essential source of energy for

birds. Suet feeders can range from a simple mesh onion bag to a wire or plastic mesh box that affixes to a tree, or post. Woodpeckers, warblers, nuthatches, titmice, jays and chickadees love suet.

Whatever styles of feeder you choose - and a mix is ideal - be sure to select feeders that are sturdy enough to withstand winter weather and unwanted visitors, like squirrels. They should be tight enough to keep seeds dry, and easy to disassemble for cleaning. Most importantly, keep them maintained and stocked - if you neglect to feed them, birds will go elsewhere.

Food fun: In order to attract birds, it’s important to serve highquality food. Seed blends with

too much cheap seed, known as fill, won’t satisfy birds, and you’ll end up with a mound of discarded fill under feeders and few feathered friends in your backyard. Here are some basic foods birds look for in winter: • Suet - Long gone are the days when serving suet was a messy proposition.

Kids can serve suet without messing up their little hands when you choose convenient suet cakes, kibbles, nuts and pearls. Many of these suet options are mixed with other treats birds love, such as nuts, grains and berries. You can even find options with habanero pepper infused in the fat to dissuade squirrels from dining on the suet. Nutberry Suet Blend, by Cole’s, mixes

human-grade cherries, apples and blueberry-flavored cranberries, preferred nuts, nutritious insect suet kibbles and whole kernel sunflower meats into an energy-packed, powerhouse feed.

• Seed - Many songbirds favor seeds, and in winter it can be difficult for birds to find seeds in nature. From black oil sunflower seeds and Niger to seed mixes, it’s important to serve a variety of high-quality seeds. Choose mixes with large proportions of sunflower seeds and avoid ones with fillers like wheat, milo and corn; birds will pick out the appealing seeds and kick out the filler. You can learn more about seed mixes at www.coleswildbird.com.

Choose quality over quantity to create the bathroom of your dreams (BPT) - While your dream bath may be a sprawling space, the reality is that the typical bathroom is 100 square feet or less. According to recent home builder statistics, the average home size has seen a 6 percent decline in recent years. That doesn’t mean you need to give up on your dream bath.

A large bathroom footprint isn’t always the answer to a better bath. Focusing on quality products can create a luxurious look, even in a small space.

Free up floor and counter space You may not be able to create more space but there are many ways to create the illusion of more space.

Adding a pedestal sink or a furniture-style vanity with legs gives an increased line of sight, making the space appear larger. Similarly, clutter takes up valuable space. One way to free up extra room on the countertop is with a single-handle or wall-mount faucet. Doors can also make a room feel constrained. Rather than a traditional swing or hinged door, opt for pocket doors; which frees up approximately 10 square feet of floor space.

Focus on fabulous fixtures We all need storage in the bath, but don’t limit yourself to the horizontal surfaces.

Make the most of your vertical space by adding bath accessories, as well.

“When updating the bathroom, many homeown-

ers take inspiration from upscale hotels,” says Tim Bitterman, director of marketing and new product development, Moen Accessories. “Moen offers a variety of unique ‘hotel-style’ accessories to add functionality and enhance the style of your bath.”

Adding a hotel shelf, which combines a towel bar with a shelf, offers an excellent storage spot for towels. A wall-mount hair dryer holder, a pivoting wall-mount makeup mirror, a curved shower rod and robe hooks are all excellent hotel-inspired accessory options.

Dominate with dual-function Dual-function products are perfect for smaller baths because they offer added benefits without taking up more space. Update your toilet paper holder, towel bar and in-shower shelves with newer versions that integrate a grab bar. Moen Home Care offers stylish grab bar designs featuring a paper holder, a towel bar and two shelf designs; all in a variety of finishes to help you update these bathroom basics while adding storage, safety and style.

Swap soaking for a sensational shower Sixty-three percent of Americans shower at least once a day. Since we tend to shower more than soak, creating one sensational showering space and possibly eliminating the tub, is

a wise use of surface area.

For an easy upgrade, swap your showerhead with a new, high-quality model.

Or, for a more luxurious remodel, install a vertical spa complete with components like body sprays and a hand shower on a single wall.

And, no matter how large or small your shower, there’s always room to add seating, which increases safety and ease while shaving and washing. The folddown teak seat from Moen Home Care is a great option since it features a unique wall-mount design that folds down for a comfortable and secure shower seat to avoid slips and falls. When not in use, it folds up to a thin, compact profile.

It’s all smoke (and light) and mirrors There are more benefits to mirrors in a bathroom other than a place to check your hair and make-up.

They can actually make a room appear twice as large as the actual size. In addition to your vanity mirror, consider hanging a full-length mirror on a door. Similarly, bringing in more light will open up the space and make your bathroom come to life.

A skylight is a unique addition, since it utilizes the often unused ceiling space.

Lighting fixtures are also an ideal way to brighten the space, but don’t settle for boring basics. Try more stylish options, like sconces, which can add a more designer, upscale feel.

Standing in a sea of blue jackets surrounded by complete strangers, feels like home to FFA members. Although members come from all over the country each of them has something in common, their love for agriculture. Blue corduroy jackets are not only a symbol for an amazing organization they also represent the future.

From October 30- November 2 the 86th National FFA Convention and Expo was held in Louisville, KY. This year celebrated one 100 years of blue jackets. Over 63,000 members, guests, and advisors from around the country gathered together to share their passion for agriculture.

After 14 long and tiring hours 13 Creston FFA Members arrived in Louisville for the 86th National FFA Convention. The theme of this year’s convention was Ignite, teaching members how to fuel their passion for agriculture and FFA. During the first days of convention Creston members shopped at the FFA Mall, buying anything and almost everything to represent FFA. Then, the career expo opened allowing members to talk to various colleges, agriculture businesses, and collect as many free things as possible. Savannah Hartman explained, “No matter how many times you walk around the booths there is always something new to see and someone knew to meet”.

The moment you walked into the stadium you could feel the excitement of over 50,000 members, it takes your breath away. After opening ceremonies, members heardfrom two unbelievable speakers who impacted FFA member’s outlook on life.

The mayor of Louisville Greg Fischer gave his thanks to the organization, after teaching the correct pronunciation of his city. He explained how much this convention impacted his beloved city both emotionally and economically. Fischer said seeing the blue jackets all around Louisville gave a sense of pride and honor to the city.

Rick Pitino head basketball coach of the University Louisville taught members how to live by the “one day contract”. Teaching members to always stay positive and live for each day.

Thursday was a day for the Creston FFA members to tour many of the famous agriculture landmarks Kentucky had to offer. Touring the Kentucky Horse Park allowed students to learn about the history of equine by touring museums, viewing retired racehorses, and learning about different breeds of horses.

Them moment you step on Claiborne Farm you feel as if you’re a part of history. This farm was home to Secretariat 1973 Triple Crown winner.

Students viewed breeding facilities, stables of iconic horses, top stallions with an average worth of $60 million, and the burial grounds of the farm’s horses, including Secretariat.

On the way back to Lexington, things didn’t go quite as planned. One of the two suburban broke down, completely unexpectedly. However, Creston students learned how to turn a negative into a positive by being able keep calm and go with the flow.

Years from now we will never forget the year we broke down on the interstate in Kentucky.

Unfortunately, our luck did not change the next morning. Getting up at 5 a.m. is not easy; realizing the hotel’s power is out does not make it easier. Thankfully, we made the best of the blackout by attempting to walk to breakfast, getting scared by strangers in hallways, and even meeting new friends.

It’s moments like this we will never forget.

After our morning fiasco, we headed to Churchill Downs, the home of the famous Kentucky Derby. Touring the track gave students on insight on the history of races, iconic racehorses, and even a view of the legendary track. “ I felt like I was a part of the famous tradition. One of my favorite parts was trying on the big Kentucky Derby hats you always see woman wearing”, stated Maddie Skarda.

After returning to convention for several hours, it was time for the next tour, My Old Ken-

High School Musical 4?

Madison Phelps

“It was a small kingdom ruled by a talkative queen and a mute king! The princess is not the only girl put to the test. She was one of thirteen girls who come to the castle hoping to wed the prince. For some reason or another, they are all found unsuitable.

Jane Warner, the new choir director at Creston High School is directing Once Upon a Mattress. The musical is preformed by the freshman and concert choir here in Creston.

Mrs. Warner said, “I’m glad to be doing a comedy. I like it a lot.” Some of the funniest points of the show according to Mrs. Warner are, “Maxx Walters as the king is very funny. Watch Ryan as a loud princess from the swamp.”

“T think it’s going to be very good and very funny,” said Mrs. Warner. Freshman Ann Fehrle said, “I think it’s going to be a good one, lost of humor in it.”

“The cast has been working on the show for two months already. They spend three nights a week from six to nine or nine-thirty working,” said Mrs.

Warner.

Sophomore Madison Hance said, “It’s treated more professional.” “It’s more of a musical. It’s coming together fast,” said sophomore Emma Saylor.

It seems like it could be stressful for those involved but according to Hance, “Yeah there is pressure but I feel like it’s a good pressure because she knows we can do well.”

But there are others like freshman Chase Shiltz who said, “No I’m not stressed.”

Mrs. Warner mentioned, “This is the most intense project I’ve done in a long time, or maybe ever. This is the first musical I have directed. I hope it goes well, I’m giving it my best.” Shiltz mentioned, “I hope it’s more fun than the middle school ones were.” Hance said, “Mrs. Warner is doing a really good job especially since she probably feels a lot of pressure to do well.” Fehrle said, “I know she is nervous but she is doing fine.”

On top of that the cast feels an intense urge to do well also. Saylor said, “We grew up with Mrs. Warner and I feel

tucky Home. This was a tour of Stephen Foster’s traditional plantation style home. Learning about the ways of life on the plantation of the musician, who wrote the state song, “My Old Kentucky Home”.

After a day of tours students got reenergized as they entered the seventh general session. Winners of speaking CDE were announced, you could feel the pride of each member as they stood on stage.

Then Josh Sundquist, a leg amputee, used is humor to encourage determination andoptimism in audience members.

Junior Tyler Waddingham explained, “He used his sense of humor to get our attention and blew us away with his stories of determination. He taught me how to face all of my “bulls” in life with a smile on my face. His first date story was my favorite part, I was dying laughing”.

Finally, it was Friday night, which meant the dance. All night Creston FFA members learned different line dances and how to swing dance from members from all around the country. This allowed members to let loose, have fun, and enjoy their last night at convention.

After this five-day adventure, it was time for the Creston FFA members, chaperones, and advisor to head home. Leaving Kentucky was very hard, but we are taking home memories that will last a lifetime. Memories doing what we love and sharing our passion for FFA.

we all want to do well so we don’t disappoint her.”

“I feel like a beginner but I love it and I know I will get better.

I’m overwhelmed with how much I’m learning,” Mrs. Warner said.

As the cast had some nice things to say about Mrs. Warner so did she of them. “I am lucky to have an extremely talented cast to work with.”

“The goal is to have a full house,” said Mrs. Warner. “We have a live orchestra for the show. I’m really excited because there is a new light set up this year.

The set is going to look cool.” Saylor added, “I definatly recommend you go see it. There are not a lot of chances to see a good musical in small town Iowa.”

The show is going to be very funny and all the cast and people involved would love for everyone to come out and support. “Come watch your guys dance in their costumes, it should be fun,” added Mrs. Warner.

Join the cast on Friday the 15th, Saturday the 16th and Sunday afternoon on the 17th.

The cast hopes to see you there.

Years since the last time the Pacers started a season 5-0. They won the ABA title after starting 5-0 in 1971-72.

National Digest

30 straight AMES — The No. 23-ranked Iowa State women’s basketball team defeated Carthage 78-49 Wednesday at Hilton Coliseum for its 30th consecutive exhibition victory.

The last loss in an exhibition came on Nov. 12, 1997, against an Athletes in Action squad comprised of former college players.

Senior forward Hallie Christofferson led the Cyclones on Wednesday with 17 points, and sophomore Maddy Baier led Iowa State with eight rebounds.

Rudock returns IOWA CITY — Jake Rudock expects to be ready to go.

The Iowa sophomore quarterback said this afternoon that he anticipates being in a position to start in Saturday’s 11 a.m. game at Purdue after missing the last 19 minutes of last week’s loss to Wisconsin because of a knee sprain.

“I can’t see any reason why I wouldn’t be ready to go,” Rudock said. “I don’t think the knee will be a problem. I should be able to do what I need to do.”

Rudock said he felt pain as he landed following a play-action pass out of the end zone that was intercepted midway through the third quarter.

At the time of the injury, Rudock said he anticipated he’d be able to return to the field on Iowa’s next series, but medical personnel had other ideas.

C.J. Beathard worked the rest of the game and while coach Kirk Ferentz said Rudock had been cleared ultimately to return, he felt the best route to take was to not risk further damage.

“They were being cautious and I understand that,” Rudock said.

Ferentz said the Hawkeyes are generally in good health entering the game with the struggling Boilermakers (1-7, 0-4 Big Ten).

Cubs manager CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs are set to hire San Diego Padres bench coach Rick Renteria as their manager, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the hiring has not been announced. The team was expected to make it official on Thursday.

The move ends a long search that began with the last-place Cubs targeting New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi, only to be denied a shot when he decided to stay put.

Instead, the Cubs are hoping Renteria can help develop their young players and lead them to their first championship since 1908. He replaces Dale Sveum, who was fired after two seasons.

Viqueens sweep Murray for trip to state

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

Volleyball is a game of momentum.

And there was a huge momentum shift in the first game of Wednesday’s Class 1A regional final here, swinging things in favor of Stanton, as the Viqueens swept Murray for its fourthstraight trip to the state tournament.

The Lady Mustangs had built a 21-14 lead in the first game behind strong play from Hannah Barber and Megan Oswald, forcing S t a n ton head c o a c h J o d y Druivenga to call a Barber timeout.

Stanton won the first point coming out of the timeout and then rode a Haley Weis service string that included four aces to a 22-21 lead — the first lead for the Viqueens since 5-4.

After Murray tied the game at 22-22, an Erin DeKay tip and a Moriah Kammerer block sealed an improbable comeback win for the Viqueens.

“We kind of fell apart at the end of that first one,” Murray head coach Jerry Shields said. “That’s what killed us, because when we lost that first game, you could kind of see everybody’s lips start to drop a little bit. We just stopped attacking, and then our serve

receive kind of went downhill there for about five or six points, and that really killed us.”

Murray found itself in a position to take game two, as well, but once again couldn’t finish it off.

The Lady Mustangs, after trailing 7-2 early in the game, fought back to take a 19-15 lead. But, a DeKay block and several kills from Stanton standout Carmen Subbert vaulted the Viqueens to another 25-22 win.

Subbert finished with a match-high 27 kills.

“I told them we had to win three,” Shields said. “We had to win three coming in.

It doesn’t make a difference what three. We’re still saying that even after we lost the second one — you’ve still got to win three games.

Instead of the first three, it’s got to be the last three.

“They never did give up, so I’m proud of them for that,” he continued. “We had a heck of a season.

We’ve got some really good kids. I’m proud of these kids.”

The two teams continued trading shots back and forth in the third game, until Stanton took a 19-16 lead on a Heidi Vanderholm kill and went on to finish off the sweep with a 25-17 win.

The Lady Mustangs struggled with serve receive throughout the match, after performing well in that category throughout the season.

“It all comes down to our serve receive and our digging,” Shields said. “If we don’t get the pass to the

needed to be a little better, and that’s something that’s been good all year long.”

Coming into the match, Stanton knew it needed to slow down Barber. Since the Viqueens had not seen Murray at all throughout

the season, Druivenga’s husband traveled to Murray several weeks ago to film the Mustangs.

New SWCC coach begins rebuilding process ‘It’s about respect,’ Houston says

players anywhere and everywhere,” Houston said.

“For the time that we had, I thought we did a pretty good job of getting players to fit into what we want to do.”

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Addae Houston says this season is all about respect.

The new Southwestern Community College coach knows 2012-13 was a trying season. With the midseason resignation of coach Brett Gilcrist, former OrientMacksburg coach Steve Tussey filled the role on an interim basis.

But it was an uphill battle.

Winless through the first semester, Tussey regrouped the team and played a controlled, cohesive style, nearly getting over the hump on more than one occasion.

But, the bottom line was an 0-30 season, and 0-16 in ICCAC Division II play.

Tussey is now at Lenox High School as co-coach with Jesse Cox, and Houston, a former Northwest Missouri State University player and assistant coach, was hired in late March to reassemble the program. He is assisted by Chanel Maxey of Anaheim, Calif., who played at Dixie State University.

Houston’s first experience with SWCC came in helping direct a player to SWCC from his native state of Texas to play for women’s coach Buck Scheel, who ironically, is now an assistant coach at Northwest Missouri State.

Two returnees Houston does not expect overnight success.

But the 32-yearold head coach is demanding a comp e t i t i v e Houston approach from his squad of 10 that includes only two returnees — post player Darian Polson of Des

Moines and guard Morgan Knorr of Savannah, Mo. “Hey, you can only improve,” Houston said. “It’s starting over from scratch.

From the administration on down, I know the mission is to get a good foundation going and build upon that and create something good.”

A “culture” must be established to be competitive in a tough league that includes two preseason rated teams in Iowa Central (seventh) and DMACC (11th) as well as longtime power Kirkwood.

“For this team, my defi-

nition for success would be for these young ladies to enjoy the college basketball experience,” Houston said.

“That doesn’t necessarily equate to winning a ton of games in the first year. But after going through last year, I’ve preached to the new girls, to play harder for those two (returnees) and what they went through.

We will compete hard every night.”

He knows a team that went 0-30 won’t be highly respected around the league.

“This year, it’s about gaining back some respect,”

Houston said. “A lot of teams will probably think, maybe we can take the night off when we play SWCC. I want us leaving that game, knowing that the other teams realized we’re here to play this year. And that will transition into success for the program.”

Houston worked quickly last spring to put together a roster that includes seven Iowans and three from out of state, including 5-7 guard Rhecia Lee and 5-11 post player J’myrehea Douglas of Port Allen, La. “I was scrapping to find

Eventually, Houston looks to assemble a roster with enough speed and quickness to play up-tempo and press opponents defensively. This year, he has adjusted to a more controlled tempo offensively, looking to take advantage of fast breaks when the opportunities are presented.

“It’s a matter of understanding what the defense gives us,” Houston said.

“We’re looking to be a strong halfcourt defensive team, trying to hold teams under 65 points a game to give us a chance to be successful.”

Polson, who can work inside and outside at 5-11, leads the post brigade. Size and rebounding s t r e n g t h Polson will be bolstered by 6-2 Na Keyia Harris of Des Moines Hoover and the 5-11 Douglas.

Houston calls 5-9 Jordan Williamson and 5-9 Jill Vanderhoof of Villisca “swing players” who are versatile enough to operate inside and outside with their athletic ability. Vanderhoof and Knorr can be 3-point shooting threats, he said.

Knorr will run the team on the perimeter, Houston said. Peyton Russell, from Bedford’s successful program, will be a contributor outside. Lee and Katelynn Please see SWCC, page 11A

go-to girl,” Druivenga said.

“We knew she was going to be tough. We knew we were going to have to work around her, and she receives the ball very well in the back row. We knew we couldn’t serve to her.”

Barber finished with 13 kills, while Oswald also had a strong night at the net with 11 kills and two blocks.

Patton set 30 assists for the Lady Mus- Oswald tangs.

Even though the match ended in a sweep, it was closely contested throughout the entire match. Things could have easily gone either way.

“It was a great game,” Druivenga said. “You’ve got to hand it to Murray. Fantastic team. They just never gave up. They fought hard to the end. That’s what it’s all about. This is the final.

What do you have to lose?

They played aggressive, they played hard.”

Six Murray seniors played their final volleyball match for the Lady Mustangs on Wednesday.

Seniors for Murray were Cheyanne Ashby, Patton, Oswald, Courtney Siefkas, Michaela O’Grady and Allison Peterson.

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

SPEED FREAKS

HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ

MAGIC MARK?

A couple of questions we just had to ask — ourselves

AP/TIM SHARP

If he could outrun the guy in his own shop, he’d be in good shape.

Would you rather be Johnson or Kenseth right now?

GODSPEAK: Sometimes it is better to be the guy chasing. Jimmie’s small lead is enough to squeeze his helmet.

KEN’S CALL: Raise your hand if you said Kenseth.

That’s what I thought.

Junior was close again; can he grab a win in 2013?

GODSPEAK: I really want to say “Yes!” But my head says, “Junior, 2014 Daytona 500 champion.”

KEN’S CALL: I’d like his chances if he entered Pensacola’s Snowball Derby later this month.

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar

The Mark Martin magic has not come through since he took the wheel of the No. 14 StewartHaas Racing Chevrolet. Tony Stewart broke his leg in a sprint-car crash in August and hired Martin away from Michael Waltrip Racing to finish out the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

Martin made his 10th start in the No. 14 entry at Texas Motor Speedway and produced an 11thplace finish. The 54-year-old wonder has scored only one top-10 since he grabbed the wheel at Bristol on Aug. 24.

His average finish in the No. 14 is 22.4.

And before heading over to help Stewart, he had led 98 Cup Series laps and earned a pole under the Waltrip banner. He started 33rd at Texas on Sunday.

Martin, who carries a gigantic constructive attitude on his small, muscular frame, spun a positive opinion of his Lone Star State run.

“A great, great effort today by this Bass Pro Shops/Mobil 1 team,” Martin said. “The car was really good all day. It’s a pretty good piece, and hopefully we’ll get it turned around for Homestead. I’m so proud of the effort these guys put in and am very thankful for all of their hard work all weekend long.”

The team said Martin had to deal with a “loose-handling condition” that “plagued the No. 14 Chevrolet from the start of practice Friday.” The car stayed loose in time trials. “It wasn’t until the last 15 minutes of final practice Saturday that the team found a setup that suited Martin’s driving style,” the team said in a postrace release.

Still, Martin has not posted the same kind of numbers he enjoyed at Waltrip’s place in the first half of the season.

GOOD NEWS Phoenix International Raceway wasted no time sending out a bulletin to media announcing a grandstand sellout for its Cup Series race this weekend, welcome news in NASCAR circles after seeing the empty seats at Texas.

“We’re thrilled that NASCAR fans have once again chosen to attend the AdvoCare 500, and we are all looking forward to another wonderful and exciting race weekend,” Phoenix President Bryan R. Sperber said. “We recognize that fans have a number of choices as they decide where to go, and we’re honored that they have chosen to support Phoenix.” You can still get a “seat” for the race by purchasing a ticket for neighboring “Rattlesnake Hill.” Good luck with that.

AP/BRANDON WADE

You can’t accuse Jimmie Johnson of being “all hat and no cattle.”

Time to call in the dogs and put out the fire?

Are you kidding? Not even close.

Everyone who saw Jimmie Johnson’s performance at Texas is ready to clear his seat at the head banquet table. But as Santa Anna could tell you, a Texassized confidence doesn’t make you bulletproof. If Johnson could package his Texas dominance and pack it in the hauler alongside the shocks, springs and Cheez-Its, he’d be in wonderful shape.

But again, in racin’, momentum is only as strong as your next set of Goodyears.

The old “lug nut rule” is in play?

ROUSH POWER? Ironically, John Force captured the NHRA Funny Car championship Sunday thanks to the horsepower produced with help from the shops of Roush Yates Racing. Meanwhile, at Texas Motor Speedway, Ford’s top Cup Series driver, Carl Edwards, made an early exit when his RYR motor went up in smoke after 187 of 334 scheduled laps. Just for the record, Force won the Las Vegas final with a monster run of 310.630 mph.

“Man we’re having fun,” Force said. Edwards was not so happy with his Roush Yates power plant.

Getty Images/JERRY MARKLAND

Yes, we assume the team seamstress did some hemming on Tony’s old uniform.

When you’re talking about a mere seven-point lead with 579 laps of racing remaining at Phoenix and Homestead, all it takes is one bad lug nut to make Matt Kenseth the new leader. Let’s amend that: All it takes is one bad thread on one lug nut.

So you like Kenseth’s position?

You’d rather be up a touchdown than down a touchdown, but Kenseth’s position is enviable because there’s no outside pressure. Jimmie is like the favored football team that’s up seven, with the ball, with about three minutes to play.

You have to move the chains one or two more times. And this less-than-subtlereminder: A year ago, after Texas, Jimmie led Brad Keselowski by how many points? Yep, seven.

Jimmie Johnson vs. Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Earnhardt finished second to his teammate. “We were joking that we won the GT class,” Junior said.

Godwin Kelly gives his take: “There has to be some sand in Earnhardt’s loafers. Same equipment as Johnson but lost by more than four seconds.”

Gordon’s crash took him out of the title hunt, while Edwards used the opportunity to weave his sponsor into his answer. This is what they said upon cockpit exit:

What happened?

and I just couldn’t get it slowed down enough. I don’t know; the wind was so strong that the car was doing funky things down the straightaways. I don’t know if that was a slow leak, or if it just went all of a sudden. Our car just didn’t take off very good, but boy was it strong on the long runs.”

Did you have any warning?

Gordon: “It is hard to say. I drove

or anything so it beat up that cylinder quality you out know and trust!

I was going down the front straightaway and I felt the car move around a little bit.

That was odd. But, the wind was buffeting and blowing so strong, the cars are moving around anyway. Just before I got to Turn 1, I felt it go down. I did everything I could to slow it down. I even had time to come on the radio and say ‘Uh-oh.’ Well, I might have not said that, I said something else. I knew I was going to hit the wall.”

pretty bad. We don’t usually have a lot of engine trouble. Doug Yates and the guys build great engines. I feel bad for everyone at Aflac. We had such a great weekend going.

The car, during the middle part of the race, we were struggling, but we were starting to get it worked out.
