Creston’s newest and only uptown art supply store will open its doors Tuesday.

The store, Create Creston, will be a full-service art supply store built toward helping anyone with their art or crafts projects along the way.

“We are going to be a full-service art supply store,” said Brian Zachary co-owner of Create Creston. “And so the one side has everything you’d expect in an art supply store.”

Already hanging from the walls on the right side of the store are rainbows of paint colors, earrings, paintings and finished works of art.

Southern Prairie YMCA and Creston Community School District formed a partnership to offer a new, affordable after-school program to the community during the upcoming school year.

After School Enrichment is for students in junior kindergarten through fifth grade and runs Monday through Friday from the dismissal of school until 6 p.m.

The program will offer a variety of activities for students, including STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) challenges, physical activity, healthy snacks and swimming.

“I think they have many things to offer at the Y with the swimming pool and the swimming lessons, the staff,” said Lesa Downing, After School Enrichment assistant director.

“I think that’s really going to help. Long term, I hope it changes the cul- Downing ture of our community. I think what our kids are doing after school will help them to be thinkers and carry over in the classroom in their daily lives.”

Registration for the after-school program is done at the Y. The cost is $70 per week per student and $60

Jennifer Queener of the Y is the After School Enrichment director. She encourages anyone with questions to call her at 641-782-9622.

“That’s the biggest thing is getting those questions answered. Don’t wait. Don’t assume you can’t pay for it,” she said. “People want to invest in their kids. We know that. And, we hope this is a way they can feel like they’re investing in their kids.”

ABATE to hold safety course ABATE of Iowa’s District 11 offers “The Golden Hour� presented by Slider Gilmore and “Two-Wheel Trauma� course presented

by Frank Prowant. “The Golden Hour� will be 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept.

8. Register at https://form. jotform.us/SWCC-CE/accident-scene. “Two-Wheel Trauma� course will 8 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 9. Register at https:// form.jotform.us/SWCCCE/two_wheel. Breakfast and lunch will be provided Saturday.

Both courses will be conducted at SWCC Instructional Center, Room 220, 1501 W. Townline St., in Creston.

ABATE of Iowa would like to invite supporting counties’ EMS to these great events. They are grateful to have the chance to have these life-saving, continuing education presentations in the area, and would like to extend an invitation to all community members who wish to attend. “The Golden Hour� is

an accident-scene management seminar for all riders. A friend has just crashed their motorcycle and is hurt, unconscious on the ground. What do you do? It’s not something you think about until it happens, but what you do next may just save their life. “Two-Wheel Trauma� course is designed as a one-day, conference style, continuing education program intended for personnel who are involved in the care of the injured rider.

This includes, but is not limited to, EMS, nurses, physicians and law enforcement and allied health personnel. This program is to enhance the survival rate for the injured riders of bicycles, motorcycles, ATVs, mopeds, snowmobiles and other vehicles of similar design and to reduce the potential for rescuer injury due to inappropriate action at the accident scene.

These seminars are offered for a free-will donation, with all donations going to ABATE of Iowa District 11.

WOOD FIRED

Today is Aug. 17, the 229th day of the year. So, there are 136 days left in 2017. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Aug. 14-20) in history:

10 years ago Workers at Southwestern Community College were almost done replacing the gym’s water-damaged floor until another thunderstorm hit. Director of Student Service Bill Taylor told how high winds blew water into the gym, causing new damage to about a 10-feet-wide area 4 feet from the west door.

Although the playing floor wasn’t damaged, it was still a setback to the project that was already about a week behind schedule.

Owners of properties at 308 Livingston Ave., 410 1/5 N. Cherry St. and 605 W. Adams St. all received 30-day notices to abate nuisances or 10 days to request a hearing before Creston City Council.

All three requested hearings to present plans and appeal for more time. All three were denied extensions as the city stayed tough on nuisances.

20 years ago Greenfield Public Library, Greenfield City Hill and Adair County Extension Service moved to new homes across the street into the converted former Place’s store in Greenfield. A constant shuttle of trips across First Street of volunteers moved the 22,000 items from the current library. Co-directors, Lorraine Schneider and Lynn Heinbuch, coordinated the move with books stacked in grocery sacks and moved

can’t pay the $20 per week, come and talk to Jen,� said Joyce Baker, Southern Prairie YMCA administrative assistant. “We’ll figure something out.�

Activities Each day of the after-school program will consist of different stations offering students a variety of activities to participate in.

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays the program will be held at Creston Community Elementary School, while Tuesdays and Thursdays the students will walk to the YMCA. Each day starts with a healthy snack for the students immediately following school dismissal.

Other stations include STEM challenges, a robotics station and outdoor activities when the weather is nice or indoor games when the weather isn’t cooperating.

them systematically so they were grouped correctly in the new complex.

Assisted-living housing units in Taylor County moved closer to a reality with an estimated $1.7 million proposal. Taylor County Board of Supervisors signed a letter of intent to USDA, the federal agency earmarking funds for the project at Taylor Ridge Estates in Lenox. Plans called for a 30-unit complex to be added to the current facilities located on 10 acres.

Convicted murderer Timothy McVeigh accepted his fate at his formal sentencing with no apologies or pleas for mercy while offering no explanation for the worst terrorist attack on American soil. Instead, he used the opportunity to suggest the blame for the tragedy rested with the government by quoting from a 1928 opinion

written by Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, “Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example.� Relatives and victims of the 1995 bombing, which left 168 dead and more than 500 injured, hoped to hear more from him, saying things could change by using your voice instead of blowing up a lot of people.

“It’s fun, but at the same time they’re learning and they don’t really know it,� Downing said. “It’s very engaging.

It’s really about social interaction and also healthy moving, getting them active.�

Scott Driskell, elementary school principal, will also assess the needs of the students in the program and if there are students not meeting the district’s benchmarks, will provide a tutor for those students. “If there’s a student who really needs a tutoring session, they won’t spend the whole time tutoring,� Downing said. “They’ll still rotate through the stations.�

On Tuesdays and Thursdays when students walk to the Y, students will have time to swim in the pool or play in the gym.

Downing said there are also scholarships available for swimming lessons during the after-school program.

In total, students who participate will spend about 12 hours per week in the af-

ter-school program.

Downing also said Mark O’Riley is willing to apply for a grant that will allow the after-school program to send the free-and-reduced-lunch students home with a backpack on the weekends filled with healthy snacks and food. “I feel like we’re really trying to work together with our community to make sure the needs of our students are met besides just the academic and social,� Downing said.

50 years ago The first scout of Troop No. 131, organized in 1960, to receive the Eagle Scout rank was Randy Pettegrew, 15, of Creston. He was the honored recipient at the Eagle Court of Honor held at St. John’s United Church of Christ.

Serving as an escort was Curtis Jeffreys of Troop 129, who had recently been named an Eagle Scout. Pettegrew’s

scoutmaster, Warren Case, had been with the scouts since 1954 and the troop was sponsored by the Creston Lions Club.

Four Creston High School baseball players were named to the All-Southwest Iowa baseball team as selected by the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.

Bill Wimmer, Dave Thompson and Jack Lynn were named to the first team and Ed Jackson was named to the fourth team.

Three members of Boy Scout troop 129 swam a mile at the Creston municipal pool, taking part in the Scout Mile Swim program. Tim Kinkade completed the mile in 43 minutes, Kim Kirkman in 50 minutes and Joel Emerson in 55 minutes. The swim was supervised by Leonard Walters and John Krabiel with Dennis Walters as timer. is to make sure the kids have someplace safe to go after school that’s engaging for those kids,� Baker said. “They’re going to have a dependable, affordable place to go for their kids.�

The program is also available on days when no school is planned. Cost for those days is $30 per day, but if a student is registered for every planned no-school day, the family will receive $5 off each day. “I think that’s a huge need in our community, when there is not any school and they’re not sure what to do with their kids,� Downing said. “This is a great place to go, these day camps.�

Volunteers are needed for the program. Anyone interested in volunteering can visit the Y or contact Queener at 641-782-9622.

These open town meetings are in addition to question-and-answer sessions at local businesses, high schools and service clubs in two dozen counties. “Representative government is a two-way street. I’m one half of the process and the people of Iowa are the other half. You can’t have representative government without dialogue between elected officials and the people we represent,� Grassley said. “I appreciate the opportunity to hold town meetings, answer questions and take comments from Iowans.�

Grassley will be in Ringgold County on August 23, Taylor County on August 24, O’Brien County on August 29, Osceola County on August 30 and Monona and Shelby counties on August 31.

Grassley is in his 37th year of holding meetings in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties. Grassley has held at

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, August 17, 2017

Saying goodbye After some internal debate about when I wanted to write this, I figured I should just get it out of the way now, as it’ll be even more difficult the longer I put it off.

The time has come for me to, as they say, move on. In reality, I’m not really going anywhere, but I will no longer be striking the keys at a Creston News Advertiser computer.

I am starting a new chapter in Lenox, where I have accepted a position as EMT. It’s strange, saying goodbye to an office space I’ve made my home away from home and the people surrounding me at the newspaper office. I’ve been at the newspaper three months shy of five years, but it feels like a lifetime.

When I moved to Creston in November 2012, it felt real: I was out on my own for the first time in my life (aside from college) with my first full-time job about to begin. My little one-bedroom apartment on West Montgomery Street slowly became lived in, and I enjoyed being able to walk the short distance to work in the morning and back in the afternoons.

Stephani Finley, my first fulltime editor, really opened my eyes to the industry and taught me so much about the proper way to format a police report and when

Girl on fire Bailey Poolman staff writer to use a descriptive word (which seemed like never often enough, in my opinion). Then Kyle Wilson became editor and the game changed a little bit. Now, Scott Vicker holds the reigns and it will feel odd not having to wake up, swipe mascara on and make sure my camera is near the front door so I don’t forget it on my way to work.

Three months after moving to Creston, I made another life-altering decision when my application to join the Creston Fire Department was accepted. Coming to town with a degree in English and creative writing from the University of Iowa, I never dreamed I’d find something like firefighting to be at all appealing; that is, until I saw what it meant to be part of it.

I have many people to thank for this journey, but first, I want to thank Cheryl Blazek. I just happened to be at the station the day she posted the next EMT class being held through Southwestern Community College and, after

bpoolman@crestonnews.com @iowafiregirl13

many questions she answered for me, I decided to register. I also want to thank Randy Crum, who really did teach us what we needed to know at the Corning class. And, also, I blame him for me continuing my education at Iowa Western Community College in the paramedic program, something, just like firefighting, I never dreamed I’d be doing.

While I was at the paper, I covered many beats throughout the area: police, fire, school board, hospital board, county supervisors, SWCC board and the occasional city council meeting.

Thanks to Paul, Rick, Tracy, Mark and all the other law enforcement officers for keeping me on my toes regularly, and thanks

to Todd, Gary, Lee, Mike and Casey, as well as Ray, Mick and all other firefighters, for welcoming me into the brotherhood.

Thanks to Ron, Dennis, Dale and Sandy, as well as Lois, for the time spent at the supervisors meetings and putting up with me being gone quite a bit early in the year.

In general, it was a pleasure getting to know everyone who really put time and effort into making our community the best it can be.

Most of all, I want to thank everyone at the CNA for their support. I know I’ve not been the easiest to work with, especially as I’ve been gone nearly every Thursday for the past 12 months.

To be a bit cliche, it’s been a roller coaster ride here. Thank you to everyone in advertising for listening to me gripe about class or other stressful events. Thanks to the front desk, human resources and IT ladies for providing friendship and fun at the paper. It’s been great getting to know everyone in

the back. Thanks to Rich for allowing me to learn and grow here at the paper, and thank you to everyone I’ve known in the newsroom: it truly has been so amazing knowing every single one of you (Kelsey, you’re included too).

This column is a bit longer than I usually write, but I think it deserves the space, as everyone I’ve mentioned and more deserve the space. I wouldn’t be who I am without everyone’s influence, everyone’s support and guidance, so thank you.

My last day as a staff reporter, Aug. 25, looms ever closer, and, while it feels like I’m saying goodbye forever, I’m not leaving. I’m just altering my surroundings, fitting myself into a slice of the community where I’ve wanted to be for quite some time.

I know I’ll still see everyone now and then, out and about. This is a close-knit community, one I’m glad to remain a part of, even if I am saying goodbye.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ column?

From Jim Stalker Creston

A few days ago, my wife sent a letter in to you folks addressing an act of responsibility and kindness she saw from her front window.

She wanted other people to know about such things that happen in Creston.

That brought up a thought in my mind. Why don’t you folks at the paper, start a column entitled something like “Random Acts of

Kindness?” I’m sure other people have seen themselves or have had someone do an act of kindness to them, and would like others to hear about it.

Writing about a random act they’ve performed for someone else might seem a little egotistical so it might be best to leave that one alone, but I think it might lead to some interesting reading. Reading about things like that have the effect to bring us up a little and we can all use a little more positive thinking in our lives.

2016

Appreciating the West’s beauty, but saddened by losses closer to home Deb and I recently had a much-needed getaway to experience the natural beauty in the western states of Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota.

We spent time in the scenic canyons and mountains of the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone Park, Devils Tower, Spearfish Canyon south of Sturgis — we must have met and followed thousands of motorcycles on this vacation — along with Mount Rushmore and the Badlands.

The scenery was breathtaking, especially on a 10-mile float down the Snake River in the Grand Tetons near Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

We arrived back in Creston just before dawn on Sunday, driving nine hours across South Dakota and northwest Iowa overnight after a scenic drive through the Badlands late Saturday afternoon.

It was a great trip, with a look at some of America’s history mixed in with appreciation for some of the nation’s stunning natural sights. It caused me to pause and reflect that I didn’t get our kids to some of those patriotic and spiritual symbols, such as Mount Rushmore and Devils Tower, when they were young.

We tried to squeeze in vacations between sports seasons nearly every summer, but rarely did we allot enough time to cover 3,000 miles like our excursion last week. In retrospect, I would have tried harder to do some of that. A lesson for younger families, I suppose.

As rejuvenated as we felt coming off that terrific trip, our mood suddenly took a gut-wrenching turn Sunday afternoon.

Straights shots Larry Peterson sports writer A neighbor told us our next-door neighbor and good friend, Larry Schad, had died Friday in a horrific highway accident in Idaho, not all that far from where we were staying at the same time in Wyoming. In fact, the TV news we watched in our motel room originated in Idaho, but we had not heard of that accident.

Larry felt like family, because of our long relationship as next door neighbors. He was one of those guys who would do anything we asked — look at my sputtering lawn mower engine, help each other with weed control and fertilizer for our adjacent lawns, help with trimming and watering plants when we were away for a few days, etc.

If Deb or I were out exercising and strolled past their front porch on our way to our house, Larry or wife Joyce would stop us for a quick conversation, or in Larry’s case, some kind of teasing, smart remark.

If we were grilling on the back deck and he was out, he’d always jokingly ask what was for supper and what time he should come over.

It’s hard to even look to the north and see that property and realize he’s not coming outside ever again.

It doesn’t seem real.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to the families of everyone involved and sincere wishes for Joyce’s complete recovery and ability to cope

lpeterson@crestonnews.com @larrypeterson

in the best way that she can. Our neighborhood has lost one of those bright lights that put a smile on your face, and it’s a more somber place now.

••• Then, Tuesday night we got a second emotional punch in the gut when we heard of the death of 36-year-old Beth Coen of Creston.

I first met Beth when I helped coach the school’s girls basketball team in 1995-96. It was my first middle school coaching experience.

Beth was the team’s best player.

She was a fluid, athletic kid who could be as creative on the basketball court as she was later with the eye of an artist with a camera in her hands. The shot she took of a Summit Lake sunset earlier this summer was one of the best photographs I’ve ever seen.

Like Larry Schad, Beth Coen was clever and could put a smile on your face. I admired her strength to stand up and not hide from who she was, and to embolden others to likewise be proud of who they were.

Deb and I got to appreciate some of nature’s awesome beauty, for sure. But, at the same time, we mourn the loss of those who brought the light of friendship and humor to those around them every day they were on this earth.

HINTS FROM HELOISE A peaceful break

HOROSCOPE For Friday, Aug. 18, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Mercury retrograde can trigger old health problems and bring about delays and goofy mistakes at work. Fortunately, things on the home front are cushy and supportive.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Old flames are back in your life again. Of course you will notice, because you are the most sensuous sign of the zodiac. (Ah, memories!)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Family reunions are taking place now for many of you.

And for others, relatives are camped out on your doorstep, eating you out of home and fridge. (Grrrr.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)This definitely is a time when you are forced to deal with transportation delays, mixed-up communications, missed appointments and silly errors. Just cope as best you can.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Financial delays are frustrating now.

Checks in the mail are late, and money and the delivery of goods seems to be detoured.

Fortunately, these glitches are temporary.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You’re not losing it. Mercury is retrograde in your sign, which is why you are misplacing keys and items, plus losing paperwork and forgetting appointments and other details. Yikes!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is an excellent time for you to do research of any kind, because it’s easy for you to go “backward.” This blessing will last until early September.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Old friends are back in your life again, which gives you a chance to catch up on history and trade secrets. Never underestimate the importance of friendship in your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Contact with old bosses, or perhaps a parent you have not seen for a while, will take place for many of you at this time. This also is a chance for you to deal with past authority issues.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) For the rest of this month, travel delays are likely.

If you must travel, it’s best to go someplace you have been before.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This month actually is an excellent time to wrap up old business regarding inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt and insurance issues.

Things will come together quickly.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Ex-partners are back on the scene. This is not always easy.

At least dress to feel confident, because living well is the best revenge.

YOU BORN TODAY You are courageous and charismatic.

You also are intellectually curious and knowledgeable. This year you will scrutinize old values and ideas you once

thought were important, because much of your focus throughout the past nine years will fade to make room for something new in your future.

Giving may become important. Get ready for a fresh, new cycle waiting in your future!

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I’ve discovered MEDITATION – just 10 to 20 minutes a day, once in the morning and once at night; no television, cellphone, computer or music.

It can bring a bit of peace into my life. I’m free to think clearly!

In today’s world, we are all overscheduled and subject to too much information, all the time. Taking a break helps me manage my day, work for my family and feel calm. – Jennifer J. in Houston Jennifer, it’s so nice that you’ve found a twice-daily minivacation. My mother, the original Heloise (1919-1977), always would advocate for people to take care of themselves, especially if they are running a household, and she didn’t even have a cellphone or a computer! Thanks for writing. – Heloise PUMICE POWER Dear Heloise: I love your column; I read it in the (Salem, Ore.) Statesman Journal. I have six solid-colored cotton knit shirts with grease stains, some of which I’d already laundered and dried.

As a last resort, I worked a small amount of pumice-based hand cleaner into the stains. Hurray! The stains are gone, and I see no damage to the shirts.

I will only use this as a last resort, though! – Cindy U., Salem, Ore. SUDSY AMMONIA Dear Heloise: I often see hints that require sudsy ammonia. Is there a way to make regular ammonia sudsy? – C.M., via email Sudsy ammonia is merely ammonia that has had a bit of detergent added to it.

You can add a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid to 1/2 cup regular ammonia and 1/2 cup rubbing alcohol – be sure the dishwashing liquid does not contain bleach – to make one of my favorite all-purpose cleaners.

Ammonia is a wonderful, cost-effective household cleaner, and sudsy ammonia is good for dirty, grimy jobs and greasy surfaces, such as stovetops. Sudsy ammonia is not good for cleaning mirrors and windows, though; it can streak. Use regular ammonia for this task.

I’ve combined my favorite homemade cleaning solutions into a handy pamphlet.

Would you like to receive one? Visit www.Heloise.com to order, or send a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/HCS, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Label all

homemade cleaners with the ingredients and the date it was made. Use these quickly, because their efficacy can dwindle over time. – Heloise MANUAL MOTIVE Dear Heloise: I saw the hint about saving manuals. I go one step further: I staple the receipt to the inside of the cover and write the model and serial number on the front.

This can be helpful if you are calling for technical support or if you are a victim of theft, like we were. The insurance company needed this information. – Lisa Z., Waco, Texas DON’T FALL! Dear Readers: When you are moving about your home, pause a moment before you take a step and look down.

You never know what could be underfoot. Taking a moment can prevent a devastating fall. – 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(at)Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

HAWKEYE FOOTBALL

Iowa’s Jewell provides a steady presence IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa linebacker Josey Jewell thinks he can make considerable improvements in the upcoming season.

That could be bad news for the rest of the Big Ten. After leading the Hawkeyes with 126 tackles in his first full season as a starter in 2015, the former Decorah standout kept it going during last year’s junior campaign, finishing with 124 more, second most in the Big Ten. He also recorded six tackles for loss, two sacks and nine pass break ups, en route to being a finalist for the Butkus Award, earning second-team AllBig Ten honors and being named MVP of the Iowa defense.

And following such a fruitful two-year period, big things are naturally expected from Jewell in 2017, as he was named both first team AllBig Ten and first team All-American by Athlon Sports.

It’s not just media outlets with high expectations for Jewell heading into his final year of college play. The middle linebacker has set lofty goals for himself, both for this season and beyond, and says coasting on past accomplishments will damage his chances of reaching them.

“Everybody always can improve,” said Jewell, who currently ranks 18th in program history with 301 career tackles.

“I have a lot of things to improve on, whether it’s pass defense, whether it’s rushing the quarterback, tackling, there’s always things to work on. You’re never perfect at your craft.”

Jewell is using the same never-enough approach with his leadership, another area where he’s excelled in recent years.

A member of the Hawkeyes’ Leadership Group since 2014, Jewell and fellow seniors Ben Niemann and Bo Bower will bring great stability to a linebacker group likely to be the backbone of a front-seven set to return six starters.

Week zero football preview: Tigers and Mustangs off to the races Lenox hosts CAM and Murray treks to Moravia

■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

Football Friday comes upon the area quickly and an eight-man playoff qualifier from a year ago in the Lenox Tigers jumps into the fray with a home game against CAM Friday at 7 p.m.

A hole in the schedule opened where Mormon Trail, (not enough players), was taken off, so Lenox’s first game was pushed to this Friday.

“We just told them you’ve got to treat this like a game week,” Lenox coach Matt Malausky said. “I know we

don’t have school, but it’s tougher.”

Lenox will sport something of a new look in 2017 after losing all-state performers Dawson Tullberg and Jared Hensley, but returns experienced linemen and size.

The Tigers squeaked into the playoffs thanks to some help from a season-ending loss by East Union on the last week of the regular season. The Tigers will look to leave no doubt about their playoff status with a week one win against a CAM team that finished 4-5 last year.

“They (CAM) were a sophomore and junior dominated team last year.

They’ve got a lot of their top returning stat guys back,” Malausky said.

Such returning players include senior Thomas Hensley, who passed for nearly

Big names sit out for UNI in scrimmage CEDAR FALLS (AP) – No Eli Dunne. No Jared Farley. No Jalen Rima. No Elias Nissen. No Malcolm Washington.

Is there cause for concern with how many expected big time contributors that sat out Saturday during Northern Iowa’s controled scrimmage at the UNI-Dome.

Panther head coach Mark Farley says don’t read into it because those guys, while some of them are battling normal wear and tear for preseason practice and were held out for precautionary reasons, weren’t going to play, anyway.

Much of UNI’s second scrimmage of the August was about the next man in.

“We’ve had a good week,” Farley said of the Panthers’ third week of practice. “But this was a scrimmage that you really had to find whom your communicators are going to be should something happen to a key player on your team. a guy who is a communicator.

“Who is going to take that role? Sometimes you have to take that guy (the No. 1 guy) out to find someone else who will step up. I was looking for those guys that are going to the first in should something happen so that we don’t lose rhythm in the game.”

The practice started with two sessions of special teams work, both kickoff and punting, sandwiched around a session of shell work.

Following the special

teams work there was three different sessions of ‘thud’ scrimmaging where hitting was allowed, but no tackling to the ground.

True freshman Jacob Keller and Colton Howell took the majority of reps at quarterback.

Keller, the 6-foot-4, 215 native of Aurora, Ill., at times flashed the skills that made him one of UNI’s top targets in the spring’s recruiting period.

On one of his first passes of the scrimmage, he threw a perfect corner strike on the run to Aaron Graham for a 27-yard gain. But later, Keller showed his inexperienced when he held the ball too long, threw late over the middle and was picked off

by Elijah Campbell in what would’ve been a pick-six had the whistle not blown after the interception.

“If I played tomorrow I’d feel confident in Eli, Jacob and Colton right now,” Farley said. “We are making progress at quarterback.

The more competition you have the more it is going to show up. Jacob has came in and is competing to be the second quarterback. Colton is in there competing for it. I think it is great.

“If Jacob and Colton can get to the level they can compete with Eli ... all the better.”

COACHING DUTIES: For the second straight week, Farley mixed up his

1,900 yards and 25 touchdowns a season ago, while also leading the team with 619 rushing yards.

Others like Mitchell Williamson and Preston Murphy, (51 receptions for 1,056 yards and 12 touchdowns for Murphy), will be threats with the football, as will Red Oak transfer Isaac Bower, who could factor into the rushing attack or aerial game. He averaged 5.6 yards per carry for the Tigers a year ago while also hauling in 10 catches for 119 yards.

“We have to play assignment football and work our technique and ... work your technique as a defensive player and offensive player,” Malausky said.

Carter Still saw time at quarterback in the Tigers’ last two games in 2016 and will return under center for Lenox for this game.

The Tigers will look to open things up a bit more and spread the ball around to bigger, athletic targets in the passing game, w h i l e Still also using backfield threats like Sam Donaldson and Colton Hogan.

Lenox will tinker with multiple tight end looks, with the likes of big athletes such as Brenden Christensen and Aaron S c h m i t z Venteicher possibly factoring into the passing attack.

“We played with some things over camp and two-adays and the coaches agreed it looked pretty decent,” Malausky said.

Aaron Schmitz and Derek Venteicher bring size and athleticism to the defensive side of the ball, as Malausky looks for those guys and Donaldson to bring quick, aggressive play to the field for week one.

With only 21 players out this season and already having repped more than enough with freshman teammates, the varsity Tigers should be primed to go Friday.

“Stick to the basics. Don’t get too flashy. Play within yourself,” Malausky said.

“Whoever the better team is will come out victorious.”

VandeBerg leads young Iowa receiver group IOWA CITY (AP) – Iowa’s young receivers are catching on.

At least that how “Pops” sees it.

Sporting that new nickname while surrounded by pups in the Hawkeye receiving corps, the only veteran of the bunch says the young receivers on the Iowa roster are making progress as the

team nears the midpoint of fall camp.

Matt VandeBerg said following Saturday’s Kids at Kinnick open practice that returning receivers are building off of their work from spring practices while the five new receivers on the Iowa roster are discovering what playing the position at the college level is all about.

“The thing I’m seeing is that they are eager to learn.

That tells me that they care about what they’re doing and that is only going to help them as they gain experience,” VandeBerg said.

Murdock’s first Iowa State season ‘like a hurricane’ AMES (AP) — Immediately following his last undergraduate final, Marchie Murdock jumped in his car and headed west.

The decision to graduate and transfer from Illinois to Iowa State was already made, and Murdock was up against the start of the Cyclones’ fall camp as he finished classes in Champaign.

Less than 24 hours before report day in Amess, Murdock picked up and traveled the 370 miles to his new home.

“It was like a hurricane, man,” Murdock said. “I put my stuff at my house, or the house I was going to be living in, and then basically stayed there for the night.

Then I was up early in the morning doing some stuff, academic stuff. Then I came for the (team) meeting and that was that.”

The whirlwind that was Murdock’s arrival in Ames provided some unique challenges. He had to quickly integrate himself into the system, missing all of the spring practices and summer conditioning his teammates experienced. Lots of his offseason work was done on his own and with a trainer his father set up for him.

Murdock, a 6-foot-1 and 205-pound senior who came to Iowa State with two CNA photo by KALEB CARTER years to play, got lost in the Tara Adamson of Creston lobs a pitch toward home in a game Tuesday night at Bill ISU | 8A

shuffle at times. He played in nine games last season, catching two passes for 29 yards — one of which was a 15-yard grab in the season opener.

“I was more focused on lifting and that stuff just to stay fit,” Murdock said. “I think more of my conditioning held me back a little bit, which it happens.

“Through the season I was supporting my team and trying to do what I can to help the guys out, especially the younger guys. Deshaunte (Jones), other freshmen, Hakeem (Butler). I think I did a pretty good job, stayed the course and now I’m here.”

“Here” is atop the depth chart at wide receiver.

Seniors Murdock A l l e n Lazard, who is set to break almost every ISU receiving record this season, and Trever Ryen top the other two spots. Murdock’s rise was a little more gradual, but having a full season and off-

season in the same spot did wonders.

There was no more playing catch up when practices commenced in March.

Murdock was ready to take full advantage of his last go-around. Wide receivers coach Bryan Gasser called it “March Madness,” not only for the sake of a pun, but how much Murdock burst onto the scene.

“He was hot in March,” Gasser said. “(He) was probably offensively, I’d say, the MVP of what we did in the spring then has really developed that leadership role. He’s not only a great teammate, but he’s a guy that works really hard.

“I’ve got a lot of expectations for him. I think he’s got a chance to really help this team.”

“When the hourglass has turned and the sand’s starting to run out, all of a sudden, sometimes you see that spark finally come that it becomes elite,” said Iowa State Coach Matt Campbell. “Marchie is one of those guys that is just an incredible spirit, an incredible work ethic and a guy that right now has really put himself into the top of the list.”

Another piece of the receiving corps who has situated himself well his fall

is Butler, a redshirt sophomore. The 6-foot-6 outside receiver played in 11 games last year, caught nine passes for 134 yards with two touchdowns, and added 15 pounds to his frame this offseason.

“Hakeem Butler, maybe the most talented wide receiver in our entire wide receiver room,” Campbell said. “When you really cut it open, who had a great spring and has had a great summer as well. So I think there’s high end playing time available for that wide receiver group.”

Iowa State has attained other young receivers in Jones, redshirt freshman Jalen Martin and true freshmen Josh Johnson and Tarique Milton with Butler leading the way. The goal Butler set last season was being consistent as a pass catcher, and the mindset he adopted in the offseason, he hopes, will help him realize his goals in 2017.

“Just coming in ready to work,” Butler said. “The consistency thing was a big thing for me last year because I didn’t see as much time as I wanted to. But I know why, because I wasn’t as consistent as I should have been. So now it’s just better.”

Saturday, Pat McCann, Nick Danielson, Mike Simmonds, Jeff Burris, David Braun and D.J. Vokolek worked the sidelines, with John Bond.

D.P. Eyman and Jeremiah Johnson in the booth.

“With so many new coaches, we have to understand how to work together and communicate together,” Farley.

“I mixed it up this week from last week and will probably do something different next week.”

TRUE FRESHMEN IN THE MIX: Several true freshman have dis-

played enough to be considered for roles this fall including Jared Brinkman on the defensive line, Suni Lane in the defensive secondary, Terrell Carey at wide receiver, Matthew Vanderslice at tight end, and Alphonso Soko in the return game, as well as Keller.

Farley indicated three or four more could work their way into contributors.

REDSHIRTS SHINE: U N I signed a huge class of 29 in Brown 2016 and several of those players debuted last year and even more are beginning to work

their way into the mix.

Saturday receivers Nick Fossey and Isaiah Weston each had big grabs, while former tight end Spencer Brown of Lenox has grown into a tackle offensively.

On defense, guys like Xavior Williams at corner and Austin Evans at safety, along with a few others are going to provide depth or start.

VARYING TIMES: By design Farley has moved around the start times of each of the team’s scrimmages. Last week it was 1 p.m., and Saturday it was 4 p.m. Next Saturday’s scrimmage is scheduled to start at 7 p.m.

UNI plays games with all three of those start times.

The County shall enter into the Loan Agreement with the Purchaser in substantially the form as has been placed on file with the Board, providing for a loan to the County in the principal amount of $3,000,000, for the purpose set forth in the preamble hereof. The Chairperson of the Board and County Auditor are hereby authorized and directed to sign the Loan Agreement on behalf of the County, and the Loan Agreement is hereby approved. Section 2.

The Bonds are hereby authorized to be issued in evidence of the obligation of the County under the Loan Agreement, in the total aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000, to be dated August 22, 2017, in the denomination of $5,000 each, or any integral multiple thereof, maturing annually on June 1 in each of the years, in the respective principal amounts and bearing interest at the respective rates as follows: Year Principal Amount Interest Rate Per Annum 2018 $90,000 3.00% 2019 $240,000 3.00% 2020 $240,000 3.00% 2021 $250,000 3.00% 2022 $250,000 3.00% 2023 $255,000 3.00% 2024 $265,000 3.00% 2025 $270,000 3.00% 2026 $275,000 3.00% 2027 $285,000 3.00% 2028 $185,000 3.00% 2029 $195,000 3.00% 2030 $200,000 3.00% Section 3. Bankers Trust Company, Des Moines, Iowa, is hereby designated as the Registrar and Paying Agent for the Bonds and may be hereinafter referred to as the “Registrar” or the “Paying Agent”. The County shall enter into an agreement (the “Registrar/Paying Agent Agreement”) with the Registrar, in substantially the form as has been placed on file with the Board; the Chairperson and County Auditor are hereby authorized and directed to sign the Registrar/Paying Agent Agreement on behalf of the County; and the Registrar/Paying Agent Agreement is hereby approved.

The County reserves the right to prepay part or all of the principal of the Bonds maturing in each of the years 2025 to 2030, inclusive, prior to and in any order of maturity on June 1, 2024, or on any date thereafter upon terms of par and accrued interest.

If less than all of the Bonds of any like maturity are to be redeemed, the particular part of those Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the Registrar by lot. The Bonds may be called in part in one or more units of $5,000. If less than the entire principal amount of any Bond in a denomination of more than $5,000 is to be redeemed, the Registrar will issue and deliver to the registered owner thereof, upon surrender of such original Bond, a new Bond or Bonds, in any authorized denomination, in a total aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed balance of the original Bond. Notice of such redemption as aforesaid identifying the Bond or Bonds (or portion thereof) to be redeemed shall be sent by electronic means or mailed by certified mail to the registered owners thereof at the addresses shown on the County’s registration books not less than 30 days prior to such redemption date. Any notice of redemption may contain a statement that the redemption is conditioned upon the receipt by the Paying Agent of funds on or before the date fixed for redemption sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Bonds so called for redemption, and that if funds are not available, such redemption shall be cancelled by written notice to the owners of the Bonds called for redemption in the same manner as the original redemption notice was sent. All of such Bonds as to which the County reserves and exercises the right of redemption and as to which notice as aforesaid shall have been given and for the redemption of which funds are duly provided, shall cease to bear interest on the redemption date. Accrued interest on the Bonds shall be payable semiannually on the first day of June and December in each year, commencing December 1, 2017. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Payment of interest on the Bonds shall be made to the registered owners appearing on the registration books of the County at the close of business on the fifteenth day of the month next preceding the interest payment date and shall be paid to the registered owners at the addresses shown on such registration books.

Principal of the Bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America to the registered owners or their legal representatives upon presentation and surrender of the Bond or Bonds at the office of the Paying Agent. The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the County with the official manual or facsimile signature of the Chairperson of the Board and attested with the official manual or facsimile signature of the County Auditor, and shall be fully registered Bonds without interest coupons. In case any officer whose signature or the facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of the Bonds, such signature or such facsimile signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until delivery. The Bonds shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of Authentication thereon shall have been signed by the Registrar. The Bonds shall be fully registered as to principal and interest in the names of the owners on the registration books of the County kept by

the Registrar, and after such registration, payment of the principal thereof and interest thereon shall be made only to the registered owners or their legal representatives or assigns. Each Bond shall be transferable only upon the registration books of the County upon presentation to the Registrar, together with either a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar or the assignment form thereon completed and duly executed by the registered owner or the duly authorized attorney for such registered owner.

The record and identity of the owners of the Bonds shall be kept confidential as provided by Section 22.7 of the Code of Iowa. Section 4. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, the Bonds shall be issued initially as Depository Bonds, with one fully registered Bond for each maturity date, in principal amounts equal to the amount of principal maturing on each such date, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”). On original issue, the Bonds shall be deposited with DTC for the purpose of maintaining a book-entry system for recording the ownership interests of its participants and the transfer of those interests among its participants (the “Participants”). In the event that DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the Bonds or the County determines not to continue the book-entry system for recording ownership interests in the Bonds with DTC, the County will discontinue the book-entry system with DTC. If the County does not select another qualified securities depository to replace DTC (or a successor depository) in order to continue a book-entry system, the County will register and deliver replacement bonds in the form of fully registered certificates, in authorized denominations of $5,000 or integral multiples of $5,000, in accordance with instructions from Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. In the event that the County identifies a qualified securities depository to replace DTC, the County will register and deliver replacement bonds, fully registered in the name of such depository, or its nominee, in the denominations as set forth above, as reduced from time to time prior to maturity in connection with redemptions or retirements by call or payment, and in such event, such depository will then maintain the book-entry system for recording ownership interests in the Bonds. Ownership interest in the Bonds may be purchased by or through Participants. Such Participants and the persons for whom they acquire interests in the Bonds as nominees will not receive certificated Bonds, but each such Participant will receive a credit balance in the records of DTC in the amount of such Participant’s interest in the Bonds, which will be confirmed in accordance with DTC’s standard procedures. Each such person for which a Participant has an interest in the Bonds, as nominee, may desire to make arrangements with such Participant to have all notices of redemption or other communications of the County to DTC, which may affect such person, forwarded in writing by such Participant and to have notification made of all interest payments. The County will have no responsibility or obligation to such Participants or the persons for whom they act as nominees with respect to payment to or providing of notice for such Participants or the persons for whom they act as nominees. As used herein, the term “Beneficial Owner” shall hereinafter be deemed to include the person for whom the Participant acquires an interest in the Bonds. DTC will receive payments from the County, to be remitted by DTC to the Participants for subsequent disbursement to the Beneficial Owners. The ownership interest of each Beneficial Owner in the Bonds will be recorded on the records of the Participants whose ownership interest will be recorded on a computerized book-entry system kept by DTC. When reference is made to any action which is required or permitted to be taken by the Beneficial Owners, such reference shall only relate to those permitted to act (by statute, regulation or otherwise) on behalf of such Beneficial Owners for such purposes. When notices are given, they shall be sent by the County to DTC, and DTC shall forward (or cause to be forwarded) the notices to the Participants so that the Participants can forward the same to the Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will receive written confirmations of their purchases from the Participants acting on behalf of the Beneficial Owners detailing the terms of the Bonds acquired. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and the Participants who act on behalf of the Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interest in the Bonds, except as specifically provided herein. Interest and principal will be paid when due by the County to DTC, then paid by DTC to the Participants and thereafter paid by the Participants to the Beneficial Owners. Section 5.

T h e Bonds shall be in substantially the following form: (Form of Bond) or registered assigns, the principal sum of, in lawful money of the United States of America upon presentation and surrender of this Bond at the office of Bankers Trust Company, Des Moines, Iowa (hereinafter referred to as the “Registrar” or the “Paying Agent”), with interest on said sum, until paid, at the rate per annum specified above from the date of this Bond, or from the most recent interest payment date on which interest has been paid, on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2017, except as the provisions hereinafter set forth with respect to redemption prior to maturity may be or become applicable hereto. Interest on this Bond is payable to the registered owner appearing on the registration books of the County at the close of business on the fifteenth day of the month next preceding the interest payment date, and shall be paid to the registered owner at the address shown on such registration books. This Bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of Authentication hereon shall have been signed by the Registrar. This Bond is one of a series of General Obligation Urban Renewal and Refunding Bonds, Series 2017 (the “Bonds”), issued in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 by the County to evidence its obligation under a certain Loan Agreement, dated as of August 22, 2017 (the “Loan Agreement”), entered into by the County for the purpose of paying the cost, to that extent, of financing road and culvert improvements in the Union County Road and Bridge Improvements Urban Renewal Area and of refunding the outstanding balance of the County’s General Obligation Solid Waste Disposal Notes, Series 2007B. The Bonds are issued pursuant to and in strict compliance with the provisions of Sections 331.402(3) and 331.443 of the Code of Iowa, 2017, and all other laws amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, and in conformity with a resolution of the County Board of Supervisors authorizing and approving the Loan Agreement and providing for the issuance and securing the payment of the Bonds (the “Resolution”), and reference is hereby made to the Resolution and the Loan Agreement for a more complete statement as to the source of payment of the Bonds and the rights of the owners of the Bonds. The County reserves the right to prepay part or all of the principal of the Bonds maturing in each of the years 2025 to 2030, inclusive, prior to and in any order of maturity on June 1, 2024, or on any date thereafter upon terms of par and accrued interest. If less than all of the Bonds of any like maturity are to be redeemed, the particular part of those Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the Registrar by lot. The Bonds may be called in part in one or more units of $5,000. If less than the entire principal amount of any Bond in a denomination of more than $5,000 is to be redeemed, the Registrar will issue and deliver to the registered owner thereof, upon surrender of such original Bond, a new Bond or Bonds, in any authorized denomination, in a total aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed balance of the original Bond. Notice of such redemption as aforesaid identifying the Bond or Bonds (or portion thereof) to be redeemed shall be sent by electronic means or by certified mail to the registered owners thereof at the addresses shown on the County’s registration books not less than 30 days prior to such redemption date. All of such Bonds as to which the County reserves and exercises the right of redemption and as to which notice as aforesaid shall have been given and for the redemption of which funds are duly provided, shall cease to bear interest on the redemption date. This Bond is fully negotiable but shall be fully registered as to both principal and interest in the name of the owner on the books of the County in the office of the Registrar, after which no transfer shall be valid unless made on said books and then only upon presentation of this Bond to the Registrar, together with either a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar or the assignment form hereon completed and duly executed by the registered owner or the duly authorized attorney for such registered owner. The County, the Registrar and the Paying Agent may deem and treat the registered owner hereof as

the absolute owner for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of principal hereof, premium, if any, and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and the County, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

And It Is Hereby Certified and Recited that all acts, conditions and things required by the laws and Constitution of the State of Iowa, to exist, to be had, to be done or to be performed precedent to and in the issue of this Bond were and have been properly existent, had, done and performed in regular and due form and time; that provision has been made for the levy of a sufficient continuing annual tax on all the taxable property within the County for the payment of the principal of and interest on this Bond as the same will respectively become due; and that the total indebtedness of the County, including this Bond, does not exceed any constitutional or statutory limitations. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, Union County, Iowa, by its Board of Supervisors, has caused this Bond to be executed with the duly authorized facsimile signature of its Chairperson and attested with the duly authorized facsimile signature of its County Auditor, all as of August 22, 2017. Section 6.

The Bonds shall be executed as herein provided as soon after the adoption of this resolution as may be possible and thereupon shall be delivered to the Registrar for registration, authentication and delivery to or upon the direction of the Purchaser, upon receipt of the loan proceeds (the “Proceeds”), and all action heretofore taken in connection with the Loan Agreement and the sale of the Bonds is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. Section 7.

As required by Chapter 76 of the Code of Iowa, and for the purpose of providing for the levy and collection of a direct annual tax sufficient to pay the interest on the Bonds as it falls due, and also to pay and discharge the principal thereof at maturity, there is hereby ordered levied on all the taxable property in the County in each of the years while the Bonds or any of them are outstanding, a tax sufficient for that purpose, and in furtherance of this provision, but not in limitation thereof, there is hereby levied on all the taxable property in the County the following direct annual tax for collection in each of the following fiscal years: For collection in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018, sufficient to produce the net annual sum of $327,300; For collection in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019, sufficient to produce the net annual sum of $320,100; For collection in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020, sufficient to produce the net annual sum of $322,900; For collection in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2021, sufficient to produce the net annual sum of $315,400; For collection in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2022, sufficient to produce the net annual sum of $312,900; For collection in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2023, sufficient to produce the net annual sum of $315,250; For collection in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024, sufficient to produce the net annual sum of $312,300; For collection in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, sufficient to produce the net annual sum of $309,200; For collection in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, sufficient to produce the net annual sum of $310,950; For collection in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2027, sufficient to produce the net annual sum of $202,400; For collection in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2028, sufficient to produce the net annual sum of $206,850; For collection in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2029, sufficient to produce the net annual sum of $206,000.

Section 8. A certified copy of this resolution shall be filed with the County Auditor, and the Auditor is hereby instructed to enter for collection and assess the tax hereby authorized. When annually entering such taxes for collection, the County Auditor shall include the same as a part of the tax levy for Debt Service Fund purposes of the County and when collected, the proceeds of the taxes shall be converted into the Debt Service Fund of the County and set aside therein as a special account to be used solely and only for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds hereby authorized and for no other purpose whatsoever.

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 76.4 of the Code of Iowa, each year while the Bonds remain outstanding and unpaid, any funds of the County which may lawfully be applied for such purpose may be appropriated, budgeted and, if received, used for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due, and if so appropriated, the taxes for any given fiscal year as provided for in Section 7 of this Resolution, shall be reduced by the amount of such alternate funds as have been appropriated for said purpose and evidenced in the County’s budget. Section 9. The interest or principal and both of them falling due in any year or years shall, if necessary, be paid promptly from current available funds of the County in advance of taxes levied and when the taxes shall have been collected, reimbursement shall be made to such current funds in the sum thus advanced. Section 10. It is the intention of the County that interest on the Bonds be and remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to the appropriate provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations in effect with respect thereto (all of the foregoing herein referred to as the “Internal Revenue Code”). In furtherance thereof, the County covenants to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code as they may from time to time be in effect or amended and further covenants to comply with the applicable future laws, regulations, published rulings and court decisions as may be necessary to insure that the interest on the Bonds will remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Any and all of the officers of the County are hereby authorized and directed to take any and all actions as may be necessary to comply with the covenants herein contained. The County hereby designates the Bonds as “Qualified Tax Exempt Obligations” as that term is used in Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 11.

On the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the County will execute and deliver a Continuing Disclosure Certificate pursuant to which the County will undertake to comply with the Rule.

NASCAR THIS WEEK SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Best bet to squeeze in a win before the playoffs?

GODSPEAK: Chase Elliott will win at Richmond and springboard into the playoffs.

KEN’S CALL: Going slightly against the grain, I’ll say Jamie McMurray at Darlington.

MICHIGAN

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED Kyle Larson emerges from his No. 42 Chevrolet after winning his third consecutive race at Michigan.

Jimmie Johnson stinks right now. Worried?

GODSPEAK: This is how they operate. Get some early wins, go into idle, then mash the gas in September.

KEN’S CALL: A few weeks is nothing, several weeks barely a blip. But 2½ months is worth a team meeting.

Was Harvick right or wrong regarding Junior?

GODSPEAK: Kevin Harvick has the right to say whatever he wants, but even Junior said some of those comments were “hurtful.”

KEN’S CALL: Right to think it, maybe; wrong to say it out loud.

C U P S TA N D I N G S 1. Martin Truex Jr. 2. Kyle Larson 3. Kyle Busch 4. Kevin Harvick 5. Brad Keselowski 6. Denny Hamlin 7. Chase Elliott 8. Jamie McMurray 9. Matt Kenseth 10. Clint Bowyer

933 804 797 787 720 710 685 675 654 623

GODWIN’S PICKS FOR BRISTOL WINNER: Kyle Larson REST OF TOP 5: Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, Martin Truex Jr., Joey Logano FIRST ONE OUT: Ty Dillon DARK HORSE: Dale Earnhardt Jr. DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Larson wins two straight Cup races — that is, unless Donny Schatz runs Bristol.

MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST The Daytona Motor Mouths will wrap up the Michigan weekend, look ahead to Bristol, and bat around all the hottest topics.

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

Are we tipping?

We’re leaning, for sure, and may indeed be smack-dab in the middle of the proverbial “tipping point” — that moment in time when everything changes. Young and presumably cheaper drivers (William Byron, Erik Jones, etc.) will be replacing older and more expensive drivers (Kasey Kahne, Matt Kenseth, etc.), while owners search for sponsorship answers in a sport that remains overly dependent on corporate partners. We’ll see how many veterans are willing to stay in NASCAR for less money and less speed.

Nothing personal?

1. ‘Mr. Two Mile’ again

2. Youth movement

3. Failure to launch

Kyle Larson is on one of the strangest winning streaks in NASCAR history. He not only has a three-race win streak at Michigan, but his four career Cup wins have come on 2-mile tracks. Larson is now tied with David Pearson and Bill Elliott with three in a row at Michigan.

Three of Sunday’s top-five finishers were drivers in their 20s, including the race winner. Larson, 25, led the millennial charge, followed by third-place Erik Jones, 21, and fifth-place Trevor Bayne, 26. And just for good measure, they were driving different makes of stock cars.

Brad Keselowski had the fastest qualifying lap of the season (203.097 mph), led the most laps (105), but finished 17th. “It just didn’t come together there at the end, but it was nice to lead a bunch of laps,” he said. Kez, by the way, is only eight wins from becoming Roger Penske’s winningest driver.

THREE THINGS TO WATCH 1. Title preview?

Did we just see a sneak preview of the championship battle at Michigan International Speedway? Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Larson have dominated the regularseason points standings.

Truex has opened a gap on Larson thanks to the young driver’s points being taken away by penalties here and there. Larson is second in playoff points. Truex has 35 to Larson’s 18.

2. Bubble boys With three races left in the regular season, there is a four-way battle brewing for the last three playoff spots.

Chase Elliott occupies position No. 14 with a 10-point cushion on Jamie McMurray, who is 21 points ahead of bubble boy Matt Kenseth, who is in the precarious 16th-place position. Clint

2017 SCHEDULE AND WINNERS Feb. 18: The Clash at Daytona (Joey Logano) Feb. 23: Can-Am Duels at Daytona (Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin) Feb. 26: Daytona 500 (Kurt Busch) March 5: Folds of Honor Quick Trip 500 at Atlanta (Brad Keselowski) March 12: Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas (Martin Truex Jr.) March 19: Good Sam 500k at Phoenix (Ryan Newman) March 26: Auto Club 400 at Fontana (Kyle Larson) April 2: STP 500 at Martinsville (Brad Keselowski) April 9: O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas (Jimmie Johnson) April 23: Food City 500 at Bristol (Jimmie Johnson) April 30: Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond (Joey Logano)

It’s a well-used defense when someone has seemingly demeaned a colleague: “Hey, nothing personal.” But Kevin Harvick basically said Junior Earnhardt hasn’t lived up to the attention he receives. To some onlookers, Harvick wasn’t wrong in that assessment. But practically by definition, it was certainly personal.

FEUD OF THE WEEK KASEY KAHNE VS. DANIEL SUAREZ: They made contact as Kahne was completing a pass of Suarez. “I was trying to give him some room,” Suarez said, pleading innocent.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: The crash did more harm to Suarez, but Kahne was not happy. “I was going by him, so I don’t really understand why we hit, but we did,” Kahne said.

W H AT ’ S O N TA P

Was the race at Michigan a preview of a looming championship battle between Kyle Larson (42) and Martin Truex Jr. (78)?

[NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/MATT SULLIVAN]

Bowyer is in 17th place, 31 points behind the 2003 Cup Series champion. An upset win by an outsider will tip the apple cart.

3. Junior comments Kevin Harvick made some candid remarks about Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s popularity happening without having overwhelming success,

which he says has hurt the NASCAR brand. Junior said no apology is necessary. “I would appreciate a conversation,” Earnhardt said. “I know Kevin and I’ve known him for a long time. I feel like it would be great to sit down and discuss what he said, what he meant.”

be faced with a daunting task in Friday’s season-opening 7 p.m. matchup at Moravia.

The Mustangs, somewhat banged up heading into their first game of the season, have 16 players on their roster compared to the Mohawks’ 28. Only 14 Mustangs will be available Friday, a season removed from losing nine seniors.

S k i l l p l a y e r s Slaughter R e e c e Held (quarterback), Devin Slaughter and Josh Webb, both of whom could play receiver or in the backfield, will look to make a week zero impact for the inexperienced squad.

“Now as juniors, they’re (Slaughter and Webb) ready to step into that role, in our skill positions and step into our Myers backfield and give us a chance to have success early success,” Murray coach Taylor Fulton said.

WRS: CONT. FROM | 7A

twice in the last nine months, has 106 catches on his collegiate resume.

That is the extent of the Iowa experience the Hawkeyes have on the roster at the receiver position as junior Adrian Falconer and sophomore Devonte Young have yet to record a reception for Iowa.

VandeBerg said both have shown growth this fall, something Young demonstrated with touchdown receptions of 54 and 22 yards that were among the offensive highlights of Saturday’s practice.

True freshmen Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Max Cooper, Brandon Smith, Henry Marchese and Camron Harrell, who shifted from defensive back to receiver during the first week of camp, are all working to become factors in the Hawkeyes’ rotation of receivers.

“Those guys understand the opportunity that is out there for them VandeBerg and it is providing them with good motivation,” VandeBerg said.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said Harrell will remain at receiver for the time being, saying the entire group mirrors the rest of the team.

“They aren’t game ready, but they’re working to get there. The guys who were here and practiced

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, August 17, 2017

Wyatt Myers will hold down the center spot while several freshmen could end up playing the guard spots.

“We’re young everywhere else,” Fulton said, referring to the non skill-position spots (wide receivers, backs, quarterback), “We’re inexperienced everywhere else.

We’re just looking to get better.”

Moravia is coming off a 5-4 season in which its lone mutual opponent it shared with Murray was Wayne.

Moravia fell to Wayne 40-22, but the Mustangs sustained a 78-14 loss to the Falcons.

Mohawks quarterback Hunter Arbogast returns.

His 19-3 touchdown-to-interception ratio means that Murray is not likely to turn Moravia over often. Nick Martin will return as Moravia’s biggest threat in both the run and pass game.

Slaughter and Webb in the secondary will be on high alert, but the young Mustang defensive line will have to make stops in the run game first.

The Mustangs could face growing pains in week one, but will look to measure success more on a week-in, week-out basis.

“The guys are picking up things fast and I’m really excited to see where we’re going to be at in weeks five, six and seven to see where we’re at,” Fulton said.

with us in the spring are better. They look more like Big Ten football players,” Ferentz said.

“The new guys, they are learning as fast as they can and the hope is we will be able to push things up for them over the next couple of weeks and help them come along quickly.”

VandeBerg believes it is something the group can handle.

He said the freshmen seem to be catching on quickly to what they are asked to accomplish.

“When new guys come in, they get a lot thrown at them right away and it takes some time, but after one, two weeks, you start to get things down and are ready to take that next step,” VandeBerg said.

“I feel like that’s where those guys are at right now. Getting out in front of a crowd was good for them. They’ll take this and learn from it.”

VandeBerg didn’t see many snaps Saturday by design.

Known commodities like VandeBerg and running back Akrum Wadley spent much of the practice watching, giving coaches an opportunity to see how younger Hawkeyes would respond.

He said his own return to the practice field has been going well.

“I’m ready to go,” VandeBerg said. “It’s been a good couple of weeks. I’m anxious to get back out there in a game. Things feel good. I feel ready.”

And about that new nickname?

“Don’t let that one stick,” VandeBerg said.

The building itself has become the owners’ very own art project.

“We have yanked out a dropped ceiling, and exposed this (brick) wall, and put in windows over there and really put a lot into it,” said Zachary. “We are extremely proud.

Creston blood drive celebrates Red Cross centennial

The Creston community is invited to help celebrate the American Red Cross’ century of service in southwest Iowa by donating blood from noon to 6 p.m.

Monday, Aug. 21, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 800 N. Sumner Ave, in Creston.

A Red Cross chapter was established in 1917 in Omaha, serving communities in southwest Iowa. With the support of volunteers and donors, the Red Cross has expanded to help countless people, including those in need of blood.

“We could not help those who need blood without the generosity of donors in

communities across Iowa,” said Carrie Hauschild, donor recruitment account manager, Midwest blood services region. “Patients depend on volunteer donors, and we’re grateful for everyone who takes the time to donate.”

This blood drive comes when the Red Cross is facing a critical blood shortage and has issued an emergency call for donors of all types to give now so patients can continue to receive the lifesaving treatments they need. Blood products are being distributed to hospitals as fast as donations are coming in, and more donations are needed now to replenish the blood supply.

All who come out to give at the Creston centennial blood drive will receive a
