GREENFIELD — The Culpepper & Merriweather Circus, an old-fashioned big-top circus out of Hugo, Oklahoma (nicknamed Circus City, USA), is coming to the Adair County Fairgrounds in Greenfield Tuesday. First show is from 5 to 6:30 p.m., and second show is from 7:30 to 9 p.m.

The Adair County Fair Board is sponsoring the event as a fundraiser. A portion of each ticket sale will go toward fairground improvements.

Individuals who purchase tickets before the circus arrives will pay $3 less for an adult ticket, and $1 less for a senior or children’s ticket. The fair board will also re-

ceive a higher percentage of funds from tickets purchased prior to Tuesday.

The Culpepper & Merriweather Circus is a traditional big-top circus, explained Jim Royal, office administrator for the Circus’ headquarters in Oklahoma.

Featured attractions include trapeze, prancing ponies, unicyclists, aerialists and performing jungle cats, all accompanied by original music scored by Matt Margucci out of Los Angeles, California.

“The advantage of the circus, is that it’s entertainment that has for centuries appealed to all ages,” said Royal. “It’s something where three or four generations of a family can go together and have a great time.

“And it’s a welcome relief of getting away from

Between 9:30 and 10 a.m., the circus will offer a public presentation of the raising of the big top, and a free tour offering faceto-face opportunities for families, schools and all interested to meet circus members.

The circus’ history, interesting facts about its performers and a presentation detailing the hygiene, grooming and veterinary care the circus’ animals recieve will also be offered after the raising of the big top.

The Adair County Fair Board has never brought a circus to town before.

Brenda Meisenheimer, secretary for the Adair County Fair Board, said the circus contacted the board initially.

Where’s the winner?

Lottery error adds intrigue to Powerball CHICOPEE, Mass. (AP) — A mistake by the Massachusetts State Lottery on Thursday injected a little extra drama into the massive $758.7 million Powerball drawing — the largest won by a single ticket in U.S. history — after lottery officials initially bungled their announcement and gave the wrong shop and location.

The owner of the store that sold the ticket told reporters his employees think the winner was a middle-aged woman. No winner had come forward as of midmorning.

The lottery corrected

the site where the single winning ticket was sold to Chicopee, Massachusetts.

Overnight, they had announced the winning ticket was sold at a shop in Watertown, just outside Boston.

But shortly before 8 a.m., the lottery said it had made a mistake, and that the winning ticket was sold at the Pride Station & Store in Chicopee, about halfway across the state. Reporters had descended on the Watertown store hours before it opened around 6:30 a.m.

Lottery Executive Director Michael Sweeney said LOTTO | 14A

be a neat thing to bring to our area,� said Meisenheimer. “We’re hoping to have a great turnout.�

The one-ring circus will perform two shows, each 90 minutes in length. The Culpepper & Merriweather Circus advertises Las Vegas-quality costumes, traditional animal performances and acrobatics. The circus commonly travels for fundraising events. “Out of 100 towns we go to, probably 98 of them are a similar situation to Greenfield,� said Royal, “where we’re raising funds for an education foundation, or the chamber of commerce, the rotary club — that type of thing.�

The traveling circus has made stops within the past

week at Baxter, Pleasantville, Albia, Hedrick and Keosauqua in Iowa, and Edina in Missouri. “I think we’re going to have a good crowd.� said Royal. “This year has been a good year for the circus.�

Advance tickets can be purchased at the Union State Bank in Greenfield and the First National Bank in Greenfield and Fontanelle. Advance tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for seniors and children, and day-of tickets are $13 for adults and $8 for seniors and children.

The Culpepper & Merriweather Circus will also be holding shows in Mount Ayr and Lenox.

The Mount Ayr shows are 2 and 4 p.m. Sunday at the Ringgold County Fairgrounds, while the Lenox shows are 5 and 7:30 p.m. at the rodeo grounds.

Today is Aug. 24, the 236th day of the year. So, there are 129 days left in 2017. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Aug. 21-27) in history:

10 years ago The fate of a Main Street property known as Criss’ Grocery Store in Lorimor was finally decided in a three to two vote by Lorimor City Council. The building would be demolished for $45,550. The decision came after allowing the Community Links committee a 45-day period to form and research a financial plan to preserve the building.

Garden and Associates, a civil engineering company headquartered in Oskaloosa, opened for business at 500 E. Taylor St. in Creston. They would work to improve drinking water, streets and sewers within Iowa, and had recently completed projects on the new water tower and sludge lagoons in Creston.

Creston Area Theater was preparing for a production of “The Odd Couple,� which starred professional actor Mike Ritts as Oscar Madison and Jason Smith as Felix Ungar. Ritts was the first professional actor CAT had hired on for one of their productions.

led to an exciting weekend in the college football season where he and his family were guests of the athletic department with a tour and an autographed football by Hayden Fry. Joel Lamb, 12-year-old son of Jeff and Linda Lamb, was one of six grand prize winners in an Iowa Hawkeye football drawing contest. Lamb’s color drawing of the Herky mascot breaking through a goal post was selected from more than 350 entries. His entry was one of six to be printed on the front side of tickets used for 1997 home football games.

Five Creston Kiwanis Club members were recognized as Hixson Award winners at the district convention in Des Moines.

Members who made $1,000 donations received the award and were Ron Levine, Bob Christensen, Mike Wolfe, Kenneth Petznick and Bruce Beatty accepting in memory of his

father Dr. Howard Beatty.

Frustration over lack of immediate solutions to Lenox’s wastewater treatment system boiled over into a formal motion during the city council meeting.

Although tentative agreements between the city of Lenox and Papetti’s of Iowa for improvements were underway, two councilmen weren’t satisfied because of odors from the system and the length of time required to get the system operational.

50 years ago The city of Creston purchased a new street sweeper at the cost of $12,500, replacing a smaller sweeper that had been in use for several years. Bill Hartman was busy sweeping the business district during early morning hours and residential streets later in the day when downtown traffic was heavier.

The old Methodist par-

sonage, just west of the church building on West Howard Street, was torn down. The area, located between the church and the education building, was to be landscaped after the removal was complete. The Rev. Azel L. Smith had moved to the new parsonage the church had purchased at 507 S. Park St. Dr. Richard Wilker received orders to report for active military duty Sept.

11. He was to report to Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, for training at the officer orientation center after receiving a commission as a captain in the Army Medical Corps.

After orientation, he would be stationed at Ft. Jackson, South Carolina, as his permanent duty station while he was active duty for two years. Wilker was a member of Creston Medical Clinic staff for more than seven years, and planned to return to Creston after his release.

along with her team members, on Friday, Aug. 11.

“I helped with the filming as well as wrote a 4-H report for WHO Radio which aired Aug. 14,” Hoffman said. “We got to interview 4-H staff members as well as the head of Iowa 4-H, John-

Paul Chaisson-Cardenas.”

There were four reporting teams and each team consisted of a producer, audio, social media and video/photography role.

“My favorite part of the program was writing the report for the radio and recording it. It was also great to work with 4-H’ers from across the state to learn and create,” Hoffman said.

“Iowa 4-H works to empower youth through youthadult partnerships,” said Clark Colby, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach youth program specialist. “The opportunity to work side-by-side with professionals will give these young people real-world experience in radio and TV production.”

Hoffman has a background of participation in the arts through 4-H as a member of Highland Highlights 4-H club. She is an active participant in the areas of clothing, communications, radio broadcasting and various static exhibit project areas. Hoffman recently represented Union County Aug. 10 in the 4-H Awardrobe Clothing event in the category of $15 Challenge at the Iowa State Fair and will be performing her communications skit Aug. 18 in the category of Share the Fun.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, August 24, 2017

Back-to-school time It’s that time of year where all the schools open their doors for another year of adventure. It seems like the last school year just ended a day or two ago, and here we are starting over again.

I don’t even have kids to send off to school anymore, but I always look forward to school starting with all the activity it brings. The forecast looks like the start of the school year will have some mild temperatures instead of those hot temps we usually get. It looks like it will be in the 60’s for the football games Friday night, which will make for a nice fall night.

Eclipse Boy, the eclipse sure brought out a lot of people to see Mother Nature’s light show. It was a real positive event that I think we all

We get to see another one in seven years if we’re still around!

It’s the last big summer holiday weekend. The gas prices are staying low, so I would guess there will be a lot of people on the roads.

college football. I used to live in Wyoming and they open up at the University of Iowa. I think it should be a good game with Wyoming sporting one of the top quarterbacks in the country, although Iowa will have the home field advantage. I’m sure I’ll get to see several of my buddies on their way to the game. Iowa State opens up with Northern Iowa, which always draws a lot of interest.

Tax time Coming to a mail box near you

– your property tax statement! It should be any day now and you will be getting the good news as to what you owe on your property.

The good news is you can pay it in two payments at the end of September and March. Pretty good odds you will be paying more this year than last unless you own a lot of farm ground.

Saturday night The annual Creston/O-M Panther football fundraiser is Saturday night. Tickets are only $10 and get you a great meal and a chance to bid on many fun items.

Rain It was super to see more than a drop or two of rain this week. It’s been a long time coming. I see parts of Union County got up to

7.5 inches of rain. I don’t know if it will help out the crops a whole lot, but at least it should give them a little relief. It would be good if we could get a little more rain before the snow sets in for the year.

Fair I made it up to the Iowa State Fair. I see they set the all-time attendance record this year. The weather and the new rides probably helped to draw people out to the event. I don’t know how many more new foods they can come up with. I tried a bacon corn dog, but I think the regular corn dog is still the best. Plus, I washed it down with one of those cool lemonades.

Less than a year till the next one!

Trump’s speech HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

President Trump gave a televised speech on national security at Fort Myer Monday which was well received even by his critics. It left them shaking their heads. Even Democrats have to give Trump credit for being able to read a teleprompter just hours after staring directly into a solar eclipse.

ESPN removed an Asian-American announcer named Robert Lee from calling the University of Virginia’s opening football game next Saturday because he has the same name as the Confederate general. It’s jaw-dropping. The mainstream media’s hatred for the South now extends to South Korea.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told reporters on Tuesday he is strongly opposed to players who drop to a knee in disrespect for the national anthem.

They don’t have this problem in the CFL. Canadians never fall to one knee during their national anthem unless they dropped the bottle opener.

New York City’s premier country-western bar, Johnny Utah, was sued by a woman for allowing her to ride the bar’s mechanical bull last month. She tore her ACL when she was thrown onto the sawdust floor.

Riding a mechanical bull is the surest way to tell people you’re drunk and you’re white.

surgeons made news last year performing the world’s first penis transplant. The recipient was a just a school teacher but his penis won the men’s decathlon at Montreal in 1976.

The Secret Service reported Monday it’s out of money and can’t afford to pay the hundreds of agents it requires to protect the president’s large family.

Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says President Trump has two choices. He can either step down from office or he can kill all his children.

President Trump in his Phoenix speech Tuesday repeated his vow to wipe out ISIS and defeat the Afghan Taliban. The terrorists are never going to defeat the United States. ISIS may be able to steer speeding cars into unsuspecting crowds of human targets, but we can do it with Navy cruisers.

President Trump called out John McCain in his Phoenix speech for casting the vote that cost the Obamacare repeal. All this a day after the U.S. Navy cruiser named after the senator rammed a cargo ship. Conservatives are sure it was McCain’s slow turn to the left that caused the catastrophe.

The U.S. Navy explained Tuesday the embarrassing collision in the South China Sea between the USS John McCain

and a freighter. The Navy said the McCain suffered a steering casualty. Yeah, right, I believe it was Captain John Paul Jones who once famously said, “I have not yet begun to text!”

President Trump trashed the media Tuesday for its coverage of his Charlottesville remarks.

He is always battling media liberals who characterize Trump as an uncaring child of white privilege. Our maid used to slip shredded carrots into my orange Jell-O, so don’t tell me about your rough childhood.

President Trump toured the U.S. border in Yuma, Arizona, for his speech at a rally in Phoenix Tuesday. In his speech, he vowed to stop the drugs from coming across the border once and for all. Back in my day, President Carter would have been booed off the stage for saying something like that.

German police seized an outgoing shipment of Donald Trump-shaped ecstasy pills headed for the U.S. The drug makes you wild with certitude and self-confidence. So if the ecstasy pills were shaped like Trump, the smugglers can’t be charged with breaking America’s truth-in-advertising laws.

A Roman Catholic priest in Virginia admitted being a KKK member in the 1970s who burned a cross on a black family’s yard.

Reaction was swift. The church suspended the priest, the priest apologized publicly, and the Klan just vowed to tighten up its strict no-Catholics membership policy.

A room-by-room guide to decluttering your home (BPT) – Controlling clutter in your home can be a challenge; 48 percent of Americans say their houses are cluttered with stuff they don’t use anymore, according to a survey by ClearVoice Research. Multiple studies have found a cluttered home can negatively affect your mental and physical health, while a cleaner home can make you feel happier and healthier.

A UCLA study found mothers in cluttered homes had higher stress levels while dealing with their stuff, while an Indiana University study found people with clean houses are healthier than those living in cluttered homes. You may realize clutter isn’t good for you, but it’s not always easy to get organized. To help you get started, here is a room-by-room guide to cutting the clutter: Entryway Basic tactics:

* Decide what belongs in your entryway and what doesn’t. The size of the space will influence this decision. If your entryway is a spacious mudroom, you might choose to store shoes, boots, umbrellas and backpacks there. If you have a modest foyer, you may decide you only have room for car keys.

Remove anything from the space that doesn’t help it serve its purpose in your home. * Add storage/organization that helps the space meet its purpose. Wallhung key racks can keep important keys at your fingertips. Shoe racks are available in a variety of sizes and styles to fit your space and décor while keeping footwear organized and off the floor.

A step up: * If space allows, adding built-in storage such as cabinets and shelves can help keep an entry space organized and visually appealing.

Family room Basic tactics: * Assess the kind of clutter that builds up in your family room. Perhaps your clutter consists of children’s toys, magazines and newspapers, or multiple remote controls for entertainment components. Once you know what kind of clutter you’re collecting, decide if it belongs and must be accommodated, or doesn’t and should go. * Add storage solutions specific to your needs.

For example, storage ottomans can double as extra seating and a place to store frequently used toys.

A caddy can keep remote controls organized and at hand.

A step up: * Sometimes furniture that’s too large for a space can add to the feeling of a cluttered and congested room. Assess your family room furniture. Is it the right size for the space, or is it overwhelming the

area? Replace overly large furnishings with ones that better fit the room. * If you have the room for it, a large shelving or cabinet unit can help contain clutter. Add decorative containers to help keep everyday items like toys, magazines and other frequently used items organized on shelves.

Bathroom Basic tactics: * Tackle the linen closet and trash any partial bottles of shampoo, tubes of toothpaste and towels that have seen better days. Be brutal. If you haven’t used that half bottle of body wash so far, chances are you never will. * Clean out your medicine cabinet. Discarding expired prescription medicines can help reduce the risk of someone accidentally taking the wrong medication.

A step up: * Showers can be among the most cluttered spots

in a bathroom. If you’re ready to take your bathroom organization to the next level, ditch the rack hanging from your showerhead and the precarious corner shelving and upgrade your shower to one with built-in organization, like Sterling Store+ shower. The showers feature built-in recesses and tracks where you can snap in a variety of storage accessories and shelves, such as a soap dish, storage bin, towel bar or shower hook. The storage is fully customizable, and all accessories are removable and dishwasher safe. Visit www.sterlingplumbing. com to learn more.

Kitchen Basic tactics: * Countertops frequently host a wealth of kitchen-related clutter, from the mail you brought in yesterday and forgot to go through to small appliances you use once or twice a year. Clearing off coun-

tertops can make a kitchen feel visually more appealing, look bigger and function better. Remove and store rarely used small appliances, ditch the ceramic container of utensils and store those items in drawers instead. * Pantries and cabinets can be nearly as cluttered as countertops. Adding shelving and storage units within cabinets can help keep pots, pans, lids and dishware better organized and more easily accessible.

A step up: * Some people need a bit of extra incentive to stay organized. If that’s you, consider replacing solid cabinet doors with glass ones that reveal what’s inside. Knowing the contents of your cabinets are always on display can help inspire you to keep them tidy and organized. Plus, glass-front cabinets are an opportunity to create an appealing visual display.

A smarter way to buy a home

(BPT) – Are you considering buying a home? With mortgage rates on the slow and steady incline, there may be no better time for

a home purchase than now.

Mortgage interest rates will likely continue to go up for the foreseeable future, according to recent data from

If you are thinking about buying a home, it means don’t wait any longer. The overall cost of buying a home in the future will only increase compared to buying a home of the same value today.

Furthermore, rising interest rates impact housing inventory, as sellers might not be as interested in moving if it means paying a higher rate on a new mortgage. As a result, the dream home you see today might not be available next year.

The 20 percent down myth If you’ve put off the housing finance company Freddie Mac. Many hous- buying your next home to ing experts and industry ob- save for the full 20 percent there is good news: you servers agree. don’t need it. If you were What does this mean?

unaware of this, you’re not alone. A recent survey found that among first-time homebuyers who obtained a mortgage, 80 percent made a down payment of less than 20 percent. While there are several low down payment mortgage options available, only one has a 60-year history of being a steadfast, smart way to get into a home: a conventional loan with private mortgage insurance (MI).

What is a conventional loan with MI? A conventional loan is a mortgage from a lender that is not completely backed by the federal government. For qualified borrowers with a low down payment, private MI is required and typically paid monthly along with the mortgage payment. You can obtain this type of loan with as little as 3 percent down, though buying with a 5 percent down payment will result in a lower monthly pay-

ment.

There are other types of low down payment options that also include MI, such as the government-insured loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Unlike the premiums charged by FHA loans, private MI premiums can be cancelled once 20 percent equity in home value is reached, and with private MI there are no upfront costs added onto a borrower’s initial down payment like there are with an FHA loan. This means your monthly bill decreases and you have extra money to spend on your family, vacations, retirement and any other needs.

Don’t sit on the sidelines and miss out on your dream home. To learn more about mortgage insurance compared to other low down payment options, visit LowDownPaymentFacts.org.

HOROSCOPE For Friday, Aug. 25, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)Take extra time at work to double-check details. This will help you avoid silly errors and glitches that are inevitable throughout the next few weeks. Be patient with yourself and others.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Old flames are back in your life again. Sometimes this is exciting, but sometimes it’s painful. Nevertheless, dress well to be prepared.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Family reunions and visiting relatives you haven’t seen for a while will take place during the next few weeks. Don’t be bullied into doing something you don’t want to do.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Transportation delays or vehicle problems are likely during the next few weeks. Be proactive and get things repaired before you are stranded on the road.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Double-check details regarding bank deposits, financial matters, earnings, cash flow and your possessions. These are the areas that are subject to errors throughout the next few weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22)Mercury is retrograde in your sign now, which makes you feel like you’re losing it - but you’re not. Don’t beat yourself up if you forget things or misplace items. All will be well by mid-September.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your ability to research something is excellent during the next few weeks. It seems like whatever you look for, you will find it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Old friends are back on the scene. This will give you a chance to trade lies about the bad old days. Enjoy this opportunity to catch up.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Parents or bosses you haven’t seen for a while might materialize in your life again.

This could be a chance to set things straight or to hold your head a little higher.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Travel plans definitely will be delayed or changed in the next few weeks. This is a guarantee. Allow extra time whenever you travel.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Double-check details regarding shared property, inheritances, insurance issues and such, because this is an

error-prone time for these areas of interest. Stay on top of things.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Ex-partners are back in your world again. Look confident, because living well is the best revenge. (Or so they say.)

YOU BORN TODAY You are astute and practical. You’re also friendly toward everyone.

Many of you will be a student or teacher this year, because your capacity for research and

understanding is at its very best. It’s a good time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. This will not tend to be a year of action, but rather a year of waiting and development.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Features

Dear Readers: SCHOOL is about to start in many parts of the country. That means it’s time for kids to tote notebooks, lunchboxes, laptop and tablet computers, papers, projects, purses, etc. That’s a lot of heavy “stuff” to carry back and forth – too heavy, and it can strain the body!

Here are some hints to consider: * Purchase a backpack made for the age and size of your child, or you! * Distribute items evenly in the pack – don’t just cram everything in the main compartment. * The backpack should be carried over both shoulders, not slung over one shoulder.

It’s recommended that a backpack should weigh no more than 10 percent to 15 percent of a child’s body weight when packed and ready to head out the door. * A person should be able to easily stand up and not have to slump forward while wearing the backpack.

These hints should help anyone have a “NO-STRAIN” outing! – Heloise P.S. Having “backpacked” around Europe for six weeks when I was just out of college, I can attest to the strain of a

backpack used for camping or hiking that is too heavy or NOT packed right! Sue, my friend whom I traveled with, would help me “saddle up,” then I’d help her heft her backpack.

We learned to pack lighter, put often-used items on top and heavy ones on the bottom.

FYI: Clean the darn thing out every week or so! Oh my, some of the items that smelled or were not needed!

AUTO TRUNK CLEANUP Dear Readers: Take an hour to clean out the trunk of your car. Sort and donate things you don’t use, and find a place in the house for things you do use. Carrying less cargo may improve your gas mileage!

Next, sprinkle some baking soda in the trunk to deodorize. Let it sit for an hour or overnight, and then vacuum thoroughly.

The baking soda will absorb any bad odors, and is a multiuse workhorse around the house, outside and in your auto. It is cheap and safe. If you would like a collection of my favorite money-saving baking soda hints, visit www.

Heloise.com to order, or send a large, stamped (70 cents),

self-addressed envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. To freshen a drain, pour 1/2 cup of baking soda mixed with 1/4 cup of salt into the drain, and then add 1/2 cup of vinegar.

The mixture will bubble! Let it sit for 30 minutes, and flush with lots of water. – Heloise KITCHEN CLUTTER Dear Readers: Does your silverware tray slide around in the drawer? Take paper towel cores and slip them behind the tray. This should keep the tray snug in the drawer. – Heloise BREAD FOR FINGERPRINTS? Dear Heloise: I use the last slice of white bread on my walls. I mash it into a ball, then sort of mush it into a smudge or fingerprint to remove it. – Dannie T., Dayton, Ohio 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.

Panthers and Toreadors: The next round n Creston/O-M opens its

football season with a Boone team that ended its 2016 season.

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

Twice in the 2016 football season, the Creston/ Orient-Macksburg football team led the Boone Toreadors by two scores in home games.

The first time, the Panthers gritted their teeth and ground out a 28-7 win in the rain in their home opener.

The second time, the Toreadors rallied from a 14-0 deficit to defeat the Panthers 22-21 and C/O-M’s season in the first round of the playoffs.

Despite Creston/O-M head coach Brian Morri-

son’s claim that the Panthers aren’t concerned with last year’s result, it’s not in doubt whether the Panthers will be motivated in response to last season’s heartbreaking end.

“The kids that played in the game, the kids that were on the sidelines, they get it, how important those two games meant to the senior class,” Morrison said.

The Panthers’ robust senior class from a year ago is gone, and question marks remain, as the team will address numerous positions in the first two weeks of the season before district play begins.

Friday in Boone, Creston/O-M will look to establish dominance at the line of scrimmage and inflict damage upon problem areas for Boone left as a result of the departure of the Toreador

Outdoor news: Mount Ayr retreat Rugged retreat MOUNT AYR — The Mount Ayr Wildlife Area is a 1,500-acre outdoor playground on the way to nowhere. While travelers are not likely to stumble upon it, hunters would be wise to know its location.

The Mount Ayr Wildlife Area is part of the seven county Grand River Wildlife Unit in southwest Iowa.

Chad Paup is the wildlife biologist responsible for managing the area and all its diversity. He receives a lot of phone calls, mostly from nonresidents, who have specific questions

about deer hunting on specific areas.

His advice?

“I tell them not to overlook Mount Ayr. It’s a tremendous deer hunting spot,” he said.

Sitting just eight miles from the Missouri state line in southwest Ringgold County, the Mount Ayr Wildlife Area has been providing high quality hunting since it was formed in the 1940s. The phrase “off the beaten path” is an often overused cliché, but in this case, it applies. Most of the beaten path around OUTDOORS | 9A

Mount Ayr Wildlife Area has a mix of forest, prairie and shallow lake habitats. The forested area has a series of firebreaks that helps with timber management and is often a welcomed sight to successful hunters when packing out their game.

senior class of 2016.

Seniors Trevor Downing and Tucker Flynn will be expected to set the tone at the offensive tackle spots w h i l e Blake Sevier mans center and will play some Downing defensive end.

“We have to establish the run game. We have to,” Morrison said. “Last year they were in the box and we couldn’t complete passes so they dared us to throw the ball and we couldn’t get it done.”

Gone also are several Boone defenders who racked up plenty of the gaudy defensive numbers that made Boone one of the

better Class 3A defensive squads.

Colby Wadsworth, since graduated plugged up the middle, and six of Boone’s seven tacklers were lost to graduation.

“I think their linebackers were as good as we’ve seen,” Morrison said. “Their d-line was as good as we’ve seen.”

Also graduated is Tanner Schminke, the quarterback who combined to run for 223 yards and pass for 392 in the foes’ two games last year.

Also gone are skilled receivers Kade Morain and Tanner Frost, while the versatile Mason Hulse, a hardnosed wrestler who played receiver a year ago, steps up to play quarterback.

Hulse’s father, Cris, is a Creston graduate, per the Boone News Republican.

Losing several important

seniors is unlikely to make Friday’s road test any less daunting, as Boone coach and former Creston/O-M football coach Mark Camenisch brings up a talented junior varsity group that defeated the Panther JV team 28-0 a year ago.

Creston/O-M will start all-district returning junior quarterback Kylan Smallwood behind center and as a crucial starter in the Panther secondary at cornerback.

Spartan volleyball works in new floor n SWCC

VB opens at home with scrimmage against Graceland

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

Southwestern Community College’s volleyball team already planned on playing five full sets in Wednesday’s scrimmage with Graceland, and got what they were looking for in terms of seeing where they stand after several weeks of practice.

The Spartans and Yellowjackets took to the fifth set tied 2-2 after four intensely competitive sets before falling 15-4 in the fifth.

SWCC won the first set 25-19, lost the next two sets 25-23, and won the fourth 25-23.

The scrimmage was the first action seen in competition since the completion of the new, nearly $132,000 floor.

“Win or loss, I wasn’t looking for that,” SWCC’s second-year coach Aleesha Cleaver said. “More in terms of people in different positions, seeing how we react to things and seeing what rotations are going to work for us.”

SWCC sophomore Taylor Damewood, a Corning native, sets up for an assist as freshman Mount Ayr native Kelcie Shields prepares to leap for an attempted kill.

Cleaver, who has introduced several players of her native Illinois to SWCC, has reason to be optimistic heading into the fall season with a taller lineup, a group of players she recruited, and with her sister, Central Decatur first-year volleyball coach

Alexys Doty having moved to the area recently.

The Spartans got what they wanted out of the scrimmage, and they head into Friday’s season-opener at McCook Community College in McCook, Nebraska feeling optimistic.

Area football preview: Battle for the Rock highlights week one

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

Mount Ayr at Nodaway Valley GREENFIELD — For the 55th time, the football teams from Mount Ayr and Nodaway Valley will be square off.

For the sixth time, they’ll be fighting for a rock. But not just any rock.

The Raiders and Wolverines compete in the Battle for the Rock for the sixth straight season, with the trophy sticking with Mount Ayr each season.

“The trophy honors longtime coaches Bob Daut (Nodaway Valley) and Dave Still (Mount Ayr), and also commemorates the history and tradition of this great rivalry,” Mount Ayr co-head coach Delwyn Showalter noted in a press release. “The trophy has resided in Mount Ayr since its inception in 2012.”

For Nodaway Valley, it’s another year with a small roster. Coming off a 1-8 season, the Wolverines are looking to capitalize on the versatility of several of their more talented players, while trying to improve upon glimpses of strong play seen in practice and in the Wolverines’ scrimmage.

Spencer Lamb will once again man the quarterback posi- Hilpipre tion, while sharing the backfield with the likes of Brady Hilpipre, Austin Wilson and freshman Tony Ayase.

“When we look at and fix... it’s just very little things,” Nodaway Valley coach Steve Shantz said.

“A step here and a step away from really being in position. Our run defense

looked okay against West Central Valley.”

Experienced players like Thomas Britten could man spots on the line.

“On the line, we’ve got six guys we can rotate and we’ll have to rotate,” Shantz said.

For the still young Raiders, who have shut out Phelps Nodaway Valley each of the last two seasons, and emphatic victory is the goal for week one.

Mount Ayr rushed for 247 yards in the 35-0 victory in Mount Ayr last season, as then juniors Tristan Holmes, Zach Murphy, Brad Phelps and Brayden Swank combined to run for 153 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries.

Phelps and Murphy will be expected leaders in the

linebacking corps after both earned all-district honors a year ago, while John Shields helps anchor the defensive line.

The Nodaway Valley rushing attack was held to negative rushing yards in that game, while Lamb passed for 30 yards on 9 of 14 passing.

Plenty of the Raiders’ 50 players should expect to see time as Showalter looks to get his younger players time in a game before district play starts.

Coach Showalter ran down a list of themes that will be important for Mount Ayr’s early season play, Friday included.

He noted seeing strong leadership from upperclassmen and that he has seen that trickle down to many of the younger Raiders.

“Lots of question marks, still trying to figure out how to fit all the pieces together,” Showalter said.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Lenox at Fremont-Mills TABOR — Lenox was outscored 111-0 in its two games against Fremont-Mills a year ago, the latter of which was a 69-0 first round playoff exit.

While question marks remain surrounding the Tiger defense, Lenox will enter Friday’s contest still comfortable in its ability play physical football and run the ball after doing so to the tune of 380 yards in last Friday’s 70-36 season-opening home loss to CAM. Carter Still’s 192 yards rushing impressed, while a 2 of 18 performance from the passing attack left more to be desired.

The Tigers will look to shore up the passing game against an even tougher opponent this week.

Lenox has a leg up on Fremont-Mills as the nights have not yet played a game.

Mason Vanatta will lead the Knights’ aerial attack as one of the best 8-man quarterbacks in the state. His 32/4 touchdown-to-interception ratio, 1,849 passing yards and 68.4 completion percentage were some of the best numbers in the state a year ago.

Vanatta, now only a junior, also ran for 362 yards.

“If you think the (Thomas) Hensley kid is a good quarterback, Vanatta is a very good quarterback and he has very good feet,” Lenox coach Matt Malausky said about the QB after the CAM game.

Fellow junior Jaegar Powers returns as the leading rusher after putting up 645 yards and 15 touchdowns last fall. Each of Fremont-Mills’ top three receivers were seniors, so the Lenox secondary will look to show up better than in the Tigers’ week zero loss.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Tabor.

East Union at Essex

ESSEX — East Union hopes to start week one with a bang at Essex.

The Eagles, 7-2 last year, defeated Essex 50-0 in a week one blowout at home.

Five different players scored touchdowns for the Eagles in that game offensively. Kole Seales ran for 66 yards on 13 carries for two scores in the win.

E a s t U n i o n held Essex to negative yardage on Seales the ground and just 15 yards through the air in last year’s game.

“If you want to shut down Chance, we’re going to give it to guys who might be even faster than Chance,” Donahoo said.

Logan Calkins and Petersen combined for 14 tackles and Calkins had a sack and a fumble recovery in that game.

Donahoo believes the speed of his linebackers will be a critical advantage in week one and throughout the season.

the Mount Ayr area is Level B maintenance dirt road.

The area has a mix of forest, prairie and shallow lake habitats that offers a little something for everyone.

The forested area is a mix of oak and hickory with some high quality walnut trees mixed in. A series of firebreaks have been cut through the forest that helps with timber management. Using fire in the timber opens the forest floor to sunlight and is one tool to knock back the invasive honeysuckle bush.

Firebreaks provide easy access through the timber and are often a welcomed sight to successful deer

hunters when it’s time to drag a deer out in the fall.

These wide lanes also offer potential turkey strut areas in the spring.

While deer hunting generally claims the spotlight, starting Sept. 1, dove hunting will take center stage.

A large sunflower field on the southwest part of the wildlife area held thousands of doves three years ago.

Dove food plots rotate from sunflowers to winter wheat then to beans and this year it’s in sunflowers again.

The field is weedy and while not the optimal situation, it is holding doves.

Weedy sunflower plots offer other benefits including serving as an excellent brood rearing area for young pheasants providing a high quality protein insect

These rotating dove food plots are also benefitting other birds, including the local quail population.

“The area has good quail numbers and decent pheasant population. For hunters, it’s definitely worth a trip and it’s not far from other public wildlife areas,” Paup said.

The long, narrow 60-acre Walnut Creek Lake on the north side has good hunting for teal and wood ducks, and serves as a stopover point for flocks heading south.

When the word gets out that a new flock of ducks has hit the marsh, the local hunters are there the following morning.

NASCAR THIS WEEK

BRISTOL

SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Is Kyle Busch suddenly the championship favorite?

GODSPEAK: Not with the playoff points Martin Truex Jr. has piled up. Truex is the man right now.

KEN’S CALL: He’s certainly among the top two or three, but a sleeper can always emerge.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal’s Godwin Kelly & Ken Willis have covered NASCAR for nearly 60 years combined. godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com ken.willis@news-jrnl.com

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

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED

Can Kyle be NASCAR's ‘guy’?

NASCAR has been desperate for a “guy” since the death of Dale Earnhardt. But in NASCAR’s 30 years before Dale Earnhardt, nobody came close to matching Dale's natural ability to have half the fans loving him, half hating him, and all watching him. So in the 16 years since his passing, it shouldn’t be surprising that no one has filled that role. It’s what stock-car racin’ desperately needs, but you can’t simply make it happen.

Kyle isn’t the guy, but not for a lack of trying.

Can Erik Jones sneak in a win this year?

GODSPEAK: Jones is on the verge of victory. Will it happen in time to get him a playoff slot?

KEN’S CALL: While Chase Elliott keeps chasing that first win, it’s Erik who seems to be advancing and advancing.

Who’s in the Nos. 10 and 41 next year?

GODSPEAK: Kurt Busch will be back in the No. 41 (reduced package) while the No. 10 may just quietly fall off the radar.

KEN’S CALL: Just a hunch, of course, but I’m saying Matt Kenseth (10) and Bubba Wallace (41), or vice versa.

951 850 845 824 753 728 711 703 700 642

GODWIN’S PICKS FOR DA R L I N G T O N WINNER: Matt Kenseth REST OF TOP 5: Martin Truex Jr., Erik Jones, Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson FIRST ONE OUT: Trevor Bayne DARK HORSE: Dale Earnhardt Jr. DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Kenseth’s vast racing experience combined with Toyota's resurgence carries him to Victory Lane.

MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST Why can’t Kyle Busch be “the man” in today’s NASCAR? We’ll answer that, and so many other questions, in this week’s Daytona Motor Mouths podcast.

Tune in online at www.news-journalonline.com/ daytonamotormouths

1. Brooming success

2. Bayne boon

3. Patrick fading?

When Kyle Busch went a whole year (36 races) without a win, people were asking, “What’s wrong?”

After sweeping all three NASCAR series races at Bristol, people are asking, “Can he be stopped?” Busch swept the top of his No. 18 Toyota with a broom in Victory Lane.

Trevor Bayne, who became an overnight sensation by winning the 2011 Daytona 500, continues for look for that second career Cup victory. In his past two Cup starts he was fifth at Michigan and seventh at Bristol.

Maybe that next win is just around the corner.

Has Danica Patrick thrown in the towel? She wasn’t involved in any major incident, but finished 25th, four laps down to race winner Kyle Busch. “It was a long, tough battle here at Bristol, and I wish we could have run better,” she said.

“We just didn’t have it this weekend.”

1. ‘Silly Season’ NASCAR’s “Silly Season” has slowed to a crawl. It looks like all the big moves have been made. Drivers looking for rides in ’18 include Matt Kenseth, Kasey Kahne and Bubba Wallace. Kenseth indicated this season was probably his last as a driver.

“I wish it kind of maybe would have went down a different way or maybe I had another year or two there,” he said. “That's not the way it worked out.”

2. Points drivers

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) May 7: Geico 500 at Talladega (Ricky Stenhouse)

Jamie McMurray, who has a 58-point advantage on 17th-place Clint Bowyer.

Yes, Bowyer needs a win to get in.

Matt Kenseth hints 2017 could be his last as a NASCAR Cup Series driver, but he is OK with that.

THREE THINGS TO WATCH

FEUD OF THE WEEK

— Godwin Kelly godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com

With Kyle Busch winning his second Cup Series race of the season at Bristol, there were no major shake-ups in the playoff standings. With two regular-season races on

2016 F C

Kyle has a lot of the necessary ingredients. Most of all, he might be the best racer out there, as evidenced by his weekend sweep in Bristol.

Plus, he has “attitude” and a cockiness that was on display when he broke out the broom following Saturday night’s win.

But what he’s missing is what might be too far out of reach for him: Getting half the folks in the bleachers to love him.

Even getting a third would help immensely.

After winning the NASCAR Truck, Xfinity and Cup Series races at Bristol, Kyle Busch was quick to show the crowd a broom, signifying his weekend sweep. [NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/MATT SULLIVAN]

The shallow lake is refilling after being renovated to remove silt. A channel has been added to improve access from the boat ramp.

That deeper channel created an overwintering area for fish.

Prior to the renovation, lotus had taken over much of the lake. The unwanted aquatic plant has all but eliminated during the renovation because the lake was dry.

The Mount Ayr Wildlife Area has a clearing in the timber, near a series of fishing ponds that serves as a year round rustic, no frills campsite. There is no electricity, no water and no restrooms. But it does have fire rings and picnic tables and an impressive view of the night sky.

While it currently doesn’t receive much use by the paddling community, the shallow lake could be an attractive option for paddlers looking for a quiet experience.

The lake is nearly encircled by a mowed path. The wildlife area is popular with mushroom hunters.

The Mount Ayr Wildlife Area was selected as a site by researchers who were monitoring for northern saw-whet owls during their spring and fall migration, as part of a larger, national study on owl and hawk migration patterns.

Squirrel season Squirrel hunters should expect to find an average to above average squirrel population over most of the state, with higher squirrel numbers in areas with quality oak and hickory trees. Squirrel season opens Sept. 2.

Fox squirrels can be found anywhere there are a few acres of trees, but gray squirrels are generally limited to the heavily forested areas in eastern and southern Iowa.
