chassis. Amenity-wise, Larson said the vehicle is “pretty cut and dry,” but does contain updated technology like touchscreens to control the various operations within the ambulance.

Also, Dodge’s drivetrain warranty “is one of the best out there,” and Life Line as a company has “the best warranty in the industry,” according to Larson, so that if anything happens, the hospital won’t need to pay for any large repairs out of pocket.

“The other ambulance was starting to have some problems and having more and more breakdowns. We didn’t want to run the risk of a breakdown with a patient, so we felt that it was a good

time to (purchase a new ambulance),” Larson said.

Within the ambulance lies the standard amenities for medics, such as a motorized gurney for patients and storage spaces along the walls for equipment and supplies. The ambulance also is equipped with a new style of suspension to allow for a smoother ride. The suspension can be adjusted manually while the vehicle is moving.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — When Michael Phelps decided to come out of retirement, he circled one race in particular on the Olympic schedule.

The 200-meter butterfly.

At the London Games, in what was supposed to be his Olympic farewell, Phelps was leading as he came to the wall in the stroke he does better than anyone.

But he mistimed the finish, glided a little too long, and was edged by Chad le Clos.

That result has irked Phelps ever since.

On Tuesday night, he’ll get a chance to make amends against the South African.

Call it the Rematch in Rio. “Should be a fun race,” Phelps said.

Le Clos knows he’ll be facing the most decorated athlete in Olympic history, a highly motivated rival still at the top of his game as he showed in leading the United States to a stirring victory in the 4x100 freestyle relay.

But Le Clos isn’t backing down.

“May the best man win,” he said. “I’ll race my heart out.”

A pair of Hungarians could also be part of the mix.

Tamas Kenderesi posted the fastest time in the semifinals, edging out Phelps, and fivetime Olympic medalist Laszlo Cseh put up the third-fastest time. Le Clos was fourth, not bad considering it was the back end of a grueling double, coming less than an hour after he claimed silver

in the 200 freestyle.

“Of course there’s a huge rivalry between Michael and myself,” Le Clos said. “I race to win and I want to beat Michael.”

Television cameras caught Phelps with a serious game face before the semifinal swim as he stared in the direction of Le Clos, a moment Twitter users immediately flipped into memes poking fun at Phelps’ intensity.

Phelps will be going for the 20th gold medal of his career, but the South African has plenty of motivation, too. Phelps His parents, both battling cancer, are cheering him on in Rio. “It’s been very difficult, to say the least, the last few months,” Le Clos said.

“When you swim for something greater than yourself, it can help you to achieve great things.”

Phelps will actually have two chances for gold on Tuesday. He will also be part of the 4x200 freestyle relay, a race the Americans have won at the last three Olympics.

The U.S. will have a good shot at another gold in the women’s 200 free, with Katie Ledecky looking to make it 2-for-2 in the longer freestyle events. She already crushed RIO | 2A

Turkey has branded Gulen’s movement a terror organization and wants him returned to Turkey to face trial. Washington has said it would need evidence of the cleric’s involvement, and says the regular extradition process must be allowed to take its course.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey’s justice minister said Tuesday the United States would be sacrificing its alliance with Turkey to “a terrorist” if it were to refuse to extradite a U.S.-based Muslim cleric who the government says is behind the July 15 failed coup.

Bekir Bozdag also told the state-run Anadolu Agency that anti-American sentiment in Turkey is reaching “its peak” over the issue of cleric Fethullah Gulen’s re-

the violent coup attempt that left more than 270 people dead. “If (the United States) does not return him, it will have sacrificed Turkey to a terrorist,� Bozdag said. “The United States is a great state and I believe will do what is expected from a great state.�

Bozdag said Turkish authorities are still investigating who, after Gulen, was the number 2 suspect in the coup plot. “There is no firm information on who the head of state would have been, who the prime minister would have been, if this coup had been successful,� Bozdag said.

In his weekly address to legislators of his ruling party, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim on Tuesday vowed to bring Gulen to justice. “That terrorist head will come to Turkey and be brought to account. That man who ordered the bombing of Turkey and the parliament, who pointed Turkey’s armaments toward the Turkish people will get the punishment he deserves,� Yildirim said.

The government has launched a sweeping crackdown targeting Gulen’s followers in the aftermath of the coup.

Bozdag said Turkey has formally arrested 16,000

the world record in the 400 IM. American Maya DiRado and Britain’s Siobhan-Marie O’Connor, who was fastest in the semifinals, appear to be the most serious challengers to the “Iron Lady.�

Phelps also took aim at swimmers linked to doping, an issue that has been at the forefront on the heels Russian doping scandal. Harsh words have been directed as athletes such as Yulina Efimova and Sun Yang, who previously served doping suspensions.

Phelps joined the chorus of those demanding a clean competition. “You’re probably going to see a lot of people speaking up more. I think something needs to be done,� he said. “It’s sad that today in sports in general, not just only swimming, there are people who are testing positive who are allowed back in the sport — and multiple times. “It breaks my heart and I wish somebody would do something about it.� suspects pending trial, with 6,000 others still being questioned. At least 7,668 other people are under investigation but not detained, he said.

In addition, tens of thousands of people with suspected links to Gulen have been suspended or dismissed from their jobs in the judiciary, media, education, health care, military and local government.

The purges continued on Tuesday, with Turkey’s government-run Directorate of Religious Affairs announcing it had dismissed some 2,560 more employees suspected of ties to the Gulen movement, raising the number of people ousted from the agency since the failed coup to 3,672. The Directorate said some of them were employed abroad. It was not immediately clear how many of those removed from posts were preachers or teachers of the Quran.

European nations and human rights groups have expressed alarm over the scope of Turkey’s crackdown, triggering anger from Turkish officials who have complained of a lack of support for Turkey over the failed coup.

Yildirim said Turkey will employ 15,000 new teachers and recruit 10,000 new police officers to replace teachers and police who have been purged over their suspected ties to the movement.

region.

EMS services The new ambulance occurred alongside various changes within the EMS department at the local hospital. Emergency medical staff at the hospital are now working 24-hour shifts rather than the previous 12-hour shift with 12 hours of on-call time. This allows for paramedics to work two days a week instead of three. Medical staff also now includes emergency medical technicians alongside paramedics. “It’s actually a better service for the community,� Larson said, “because now we don’t have to wait for people to come from home or wherever they’re at. They’re already here and ready to respond immediately, which would be a major positive for the community.�

This new schedule allows for decreased response times during emergencies and less downtime for those on the clock. Call volume has increased steadily each year, which means medical staff have responded to about 300 more medical calls this past year than they did 20 years ago.

The 2011 ambulance was sold to Afton Volunteer Fire Department to replace the department’s ambulance, which was getting too

old for its needs. Afton first responders have a mutual aid agreement with Greater Regional to respond to any calls when Greater Regional medical staff are otherwise occupied on other calls, and already this year, Afton has helped Greater Regional several times.

Also, medical staff have been working with other departments throughout the region to improve department capabilities, said Larson and Jen Worisek, paramedic.

Recently, medics performed a drowning training with local lifeguards and plan to do another alongside Southern Prairie YMCA in September.

“We went to some of the churches in the community and did some impromptu AED (automated external defibrillator) training and things like that,� Worisek said.

Medics also performed a training with Greenfield Fire Department, and Larson said they are “constantly looking for new ways to serve.� “We’re working diligently on improving our capabilities as a department, whether it’s through education or raising the standards for ourselves,� Larson said. “We’ve been working pretty fervently on that. It’ll be beneficial for the community to know that we’ve

been painstakingly trudging through.� “We’re fortunate to have a great team of EMS in the Greater Regional service region,� Snodgrass said. “The way these groups of fire, police, sheriff, paramedics work together is truly an h o n o r to watch happen and also to see what good they’re d o i n g Snodgrass in the community.

DES MOINES – A stop at State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald’s Great Iowa Treasure Hunt booth during the 2016 Iowa State Fair may pay off. “With over two million names listed in the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt, fairgoers could find they have unclaimed money waiting for them to claim,�

Fitzgerald said. “Over the years, the state fair is an excellent opportunity for us to reunite people with their lost treasure,� Fitzgerald added. “Last year during the fair, over 8,300 unclaimed property claim forms were printed off, totaling more than $1.5 million. Computers will be set up at the booth for people to search for their name and staff will be on hand to answer questions and help treasure hunters print claim forms.�

The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt program has returned more than $216 million in unclaimed property to more than 504,000 people since Fitzgerald created it in 1983. Unclaimed

property refers to money and other assets held by financial institutions or companies that have lost contact with the property’s owner for a specific period of time. State law requires these institutions and companies to annually report unclaimed property to the state treasurer’s office. The assets are then held until the owner or heir of the property is found. Common forms of unclaimed property include savings or checking accounts, stocks, uncashed checks, life insurance policies, utility security deposits and safe deposit box contents.

Stop by the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt booth at the Iowa State Fair, August 11-21, in the Varied Industries Building. The building will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Visit the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt at GreatIowaTreasureHunt. gov to begin your search.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, August 9, 2016

This election is no joke For a very long time I’ve been fascinated by politics. So, as you might guess, I’m finding this year’s election one of the most interesting I’ve ever witnessed.

It’s interesting because we have two candidates who don’t fit the mold: one, the first woman to ever be nominated for president by a major political party; the other a wealthy businessman who won his party’s nomination despite having never been involved in elective office.

I’ve never before seen such strong feelings as voters have for these two candidates. Hillary Clinton appears to have millions of ardent supporters who really love her. In their eyes, she is the most qualified, compassionate and intelligent candidate they’ve ever supported. Those who hate her, however, really hate her.

They are totally convinced she is an evil woman, or as Donald Trump likes to call her, crooked.

For 20 years, the last 14 in a row, Hillary has been named in the

In other words June Bower

Gallup Poll as the most admired woman in the world, but now that she’s running for president, she has become a pariah to Republicans. Even some of those who think Trump would be a disaster as president still say they could never vote for Hillary.

I don’t know if Donald’s supporters actually love him, but they sure admire his wealth, his dislike for political correctness, contempt for illegal immigrants and especially his message that he’s going to give “the old America back to them.” Some perhaps simply enjoy being entertained by this candidate. You hear a lot of cheering and laughter at Trump rallies when he says negative things about certain groups

convention altogether.

I can’t imagine what the debates will be like. Hillary is a policy wonk. She talks about her plans to deal with the nation’s problems, and many find that boring. Trump likes to talk mostly about himself and whatever gripe he has for the day, usually about someone who criticized him the day before, which, of course, is far more entertaining than policy discussions.

Their rallies are like night and day. The things Hillary talks about have substance; the content of Trump’s speeches is pretty shallow. But his crowds eat it up because he talks about things we all like to talk about – when we’re at a bar or having morning coffee at McDonald’s.

There are at least three debates scheduled, although lately Trump has been hinting he might not actually participate. Recently, he spent a whole two weeks inflicting serious damage on his own campaign, and now there

are some even questioning his mental stability. Hillary’s polling numbers are rising significantly; Trump’s are in free fall.

Although a lot of people watched both the Republican and Democratic conventions, most did not. There are millions of potential voters who haven’t a clue about what the candidates actually stand for or what they’ve contributed to America during their long careers. Most of us have listened a little to the pundits and heard a little of the political rhetoric during the last few weeks, but few have actually become well-informed about each candidate.

It’s time now to get serious about this election. I’m hoping we will all begin to pay a lot more attention to these two candidates before the campaign is over. We live in a complicated world and we have serious problems confronting us. This election is no joke.

or when he insults his opponents.

People attending his rallies seem to delight in the name-calling, but there are some disturbing videos of the crowds where it’s obvious it’s more than delight. There is a lot more hate, overt prejudice and obscenities being expressed among those crowds than we ever see on television.

Opponents of Hillary probably didn’t listen to even one word of the many speakers praising her at the Democratic convention.

And I doubt Trump’s opponents listened to speeches at the Republican convention, either. The difference between the conventions was striking, however. Dozens of speakers lauding Hillary included all of the highest ranking members of the Democratic Party. They touted her qualifications and experience, hardly mentioning Trump, while speakers at the Republican convention spent most of their time blasting Hillary, and most of the Republican establishment skipped the

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

President Obama denied paying a $400 million ransom to get U.S. hostages released in Iran.

The minute the plane landed with the cash, the hostages were let go.

For a guy who’s touted as one of the world’s great intellects, you’d think Obama would know what the meaning of ransom is.

New York Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez gave a tearful press conference announcing he’ll retire at the end of this week.

Alex represented an entire era in professional sports. The New England Patriots cheated by using under-inflated balls but when A-Rod cheated, that was merely the side effect.

Olympic officials warned the athletes to stay in the heavily-guarded Olympic Village in Rio de Janeiro to avoid being kidnapped by terrorists. Former Olympic stars visiting the games are on their own. If Caitlyn Jenner goes missing, will they put his picture on every carton of Half and Half?

The Olympic Summer Games began in earnest in Rio Saturday as athletes competed to win the most medals for their country.

It’s an educational experience for viewers. The United States won its first gold medal in shooting Saturday, teaching everyone in Florida that guns also work on targets.

The Olympic Games in Brazil on Sunday were plagued by sewage in the swimming water and garbage in the rowing water,

200-pound rodents on the golf course and Zika-bearing mosquitoes. It’s all part of God’s great plan for South America. It’s what you get for hiding the Nazis.

The U.S. Men’s Olympic basketball team was spotted going to a brothel in Rio Saturday. When the players came outside later, they explained to reporters they’d gotten confused and thought it was a spa. The difference is, these girls don’t do mud baths unless you give them pay-per-view money.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Bill Cosby was hit by two more accusations of drug-rape sexual assault Monday, bringing his grand total to 60 accusers. It’s suddenly getting renewed national attention. The Maris family just agreed to be on hand on the night the number hits 62.

The Miami Herald reported Monday that the Zika mosquitoes have reached Palm Beach.

Now that’s really social progress.

The Zika mosquitoes originated two years ago in the Zika forest of Uganda and here they are, two years later, the first Africans to enter the Palm Beach Country Club.

Matt Damon’s movie “The Great Wall of China” drew liberal ire over whitewashing. It’s defined as casting white actors

who come to rescue other races. First the Founding Fathers were scrubbed from the history books for owning slaves, and now Douglas MacArthur is next on the chopping block.

The White House admitted on Tuesday the $400 million it sent to Iran may go to ISIS because it’s cash. Obama was advised it’d go for infrastructure. It’s the worst advice a president’s gotten since Mary Todd Lincoln told Abe it wouldn’t kill him to take her out to a show once in a while.

The Fraternal Order of Police expressed anger at Hillary Clinton Sunday for not seeking their endorsement for president. In the U.S. there are 800,000 police with the power to arrest but there are 20 million black people with the power to vote. As they say in court, next case.

Donald Trump spelled out his economic plan for the U.S. in a Detroit speech Monday. The best economic idea for a President Trump is, he puts $1 million dollars into a U.S. Treasury swear jar whenever he offends a minority group or frightens the Republicans. The deficit will be gone in a week.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump suffered record low numbers in polls Monday for their ability to inspire confidence and for trustworthiness. This election could make America a religious country once again. In Utah, the two candidates will be listed on the ballot as God Save Us and God Help Us.

Manual organization Dear Heloise: I have files on categories of items such as “Outdoor Equipment,” “Electronics,” “Computers,” “Personal,” “Household Small Appliances,” etc. I file the OWNERS MANUAL in the appropriate file when I get an item. I never have a problem finding the manuals when I need them, and if I sell the item or give it to someone, I can include the original papers with it. – Linda L. in Louisiana Linda, you sound very organized! For those shaking their heads, thinking, “Well, just go online to find the manual,” NOT every manual is online – trust me! – Heloise

FISH-OIL AFTERTASTE Dear Heloise: I learned this from a nurse during a recent visit to my doctor’s office. The aftertaste or belching problem when taking fish-oil supplements is a problem. The nurse told me to freeze the supplements and take them frozen, and you will not experience the issue associated with these supplements. I have tried this, and it works. – Darlene A., Omaha, Neb. Well, the research is a little “fishy” on this one.

Look for supplements that are “odorless” or “burpless” to prevent the problem. – Heloise NO SCALE Dear Heloise: When canning, I hated the scale that built up on my water bath canner and periodically scrubbed it off, which is hard work. I also didn’t like the way the canning jars sometimes acquired that whitish haze. I discovered that after adding a small amount of white vinegar to the water, the scale did not form in the canner. No white haze formed on the jars, and even the wire racks, from which I had never tried to remove scale, came out sparkling. – Susan M., Middletown, Va.

Creston baseball celebrates season Challenge issued for next season n

By RYAN KRONBERG

CNA sports editor rkronberg@ crestonnews.com

Creston baseball coach Steve Birchard has high expectations for himself and the program.

This season’s result wasn’t what the team or its coaching staff wanted.

Going forward, Birchard wants to see a greater committment to the program.

Birchard touched on all those points while honoring the team for its accomplishments Sunday night at the baseball potluck at the high school.

The varsity team finished one game under .500 at 1516.

“We all ought to be disappointed,” Birchard said. “It’s not that we played poorly or anything like that.”

Birchard believes the goals he has for the program are obtainable.

“We have high expectations,” he said. “We want to win our conference and every year we want to go to the state tournament and we didn’t get out of the first round of districts. I feel like we had the team to do that this year.”

While there weren’t any blowout losses in the season,

and the Panthers played well at times, they could never generate a long stretch of winning.

“We beat some good teams along the road and we lost to some good teams,” Birchard said “I don’t think we ever

played poorly. That’s a credit to these guys.”

Consistency was an issue at times for the Panthers, particularly when it came to stringing wins together.

“We were up and down,” Birchard said.

This year’s team didn’t feature any seniors.

That didn’t mean there wasn’t any leadership on this season’s squad. Birchard credited the large junior class for helping create a solid environment.

“We were not lacking leadership,” Birchard said.

Bevins, Bearcats focus on new season n

Creston All-American among 16 seniors leading defending national champs

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

MARYVILLE, MISSOURI — Collin Bevins has already experienced a lot in his three years at Northwest Missouri State.

As a redshirt freshman transfer from Iowa State in 2013, he was part of a 15-0 Division II national championship team in 2013.

The Bearcats stumbled in the first round of the playoffs trying to defend their title in 2014, finishing 10-2.

Last year, Bevins was named to multiple All-American teams and was named co-defensive player of the year in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association as the Bearcats reached the summit again by defeating Shepherd University 34-7 in the national championship game at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City.

Now, the 6-5, 285-pound defensive end is trying to enjoy every step of his senior season as one of six Bearcat captains for the 2016 campaign.

He hopes it ends on Dec. 16, the date of this year’s national championship game.

“I don’t get a second chance at anything now,” Bevins said. “It’s like, I can’t take any day for granted. If I waste a day, I can’t get it back.”

Senior leaders He’s not alone. Bevins is part of a 16-member senior group focused on avoiding the postseason stumble in 2014, coming off a national title run.

“Almost all 16 of us play, and we really buy into the fact that this is our last goround,” Bevins said. “We won’t get these days as college football players ever again. We sat down as a group and said we’re not going to go out like the team in 2014, losing in the first playoff game. We want to go out in a big way.”

The ultimate prize would

be another trip to the Kansas City stadium that was filled with thousands of Bearcat fans a year ago. The experience remains etched in Bevins’ mind as a career highlight.

“Oh, man. I’ve never run out on a field to something so loud like that,” Bevins said. “Seeing 17,000 Bearcat fans up there and winning it for them was awesome. But we can’t look back at what we did last year. You have to find your own identity.”

Different Faces in victory lane Saturday at Adams County Speedway

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, August 9, 2016

NORTHWEST: CONT. FROM | 6A

That was exactly the message Bearcats head coach Adam Dorrel had at the annual MIAA football media day on Aug. 2.

“We’re talking about 2015 this year because it’s media day,” Dorrel said. “Once we leave here, 2015 is done. We have to move on as a football program. I feel our seniors this year have really picked up from where they left off.

They are all battle-tested and have played in big games.

They should be able to grasp mentally what it takes and how to avoid pitfalls.”

Last year, Bevins set a school record with 15.5 sacks and 26.5 tackles for loss.

He was named first team All-America on the Associated Press Little All-American team and also on the first team of the D2Football.com All-America team.

Northwest led the nation in scoring defense (12.2 points per game) and total defense (224.0 yards per game). Bevins was a finalist for the Cliff Harris Award for the nation’s top small college defensive player. He was one of eight finalists for the 2015 Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year Award.

Bevins and another defensive lineman from Creston, medical redshirt sophomore Keaton Hulett, both enter fall camp Thursday feeling 100 percent from a health standpoint.

That certainly hasn’t been their history.

Injury setbacks During his first year on the Maryville campus, Bevins had a partial tear of an MCL and had arthroscopic surgery on his knee the following spring. He hurt it in the first round of the 2013 playoffs and missed a game, but came back for the semifinals and

any situations or some situations.”

Birchard credited the Panthers for handling any troublesome situations from within.

“To their credit, we never had any issues with people worrying about playing time.

They didn’t come to me about that,” Birchard said.

The culture on this year’s team was encouraging and uplifting.

“These guys really pull for each other,” Birchard said.

“That’s a credit to them and their parents and their upbringing.”

This season’s juniors: Gavin Woods, Brenden McDowell, Brody Frain, Kadon Hulett, Chase Shiltz and Cody Crawford took the leadership role with authority.

“The group of juniors being the mainstay of our program, they did a nice job of keeping an even keel, keeping everybody going in the same direction, trying to get better.”

Birchard recognized his five All-Hawkeye 10 Conference recipients. Shiltz was a unanimous first-team selection. Hulett and Crawford

or make-up targets as needed.

The shoot is held at the High Lakes Outdoor Alliance’s gun range on the north side of Three Mile

championship games, sharing time at an interior defensive line position. He had similarly been redshirted as a defensive tackle his year at Iowa State.

However, the Northwest coaches saw an opportunity for the rangy ex-hurdler in track to display his athleticism on the edge, and made him a defensive end as a sophomore. But, again, he missed two games with a concussion toward the end of the regular season.

Last year was a display of courage and perseverance, playing nearly the entire season with a torn hip labrum.

He delayed surgery until after the season, coming back to play with extensive physical rehabilitation after missing the second and third games of the season.

“I tore my labrum in the first game,” Bevins said. “I had to do three weeks of rehab to get back on the field.

After that I was limited in what I could do in practice.”

Bevins missed spring football while recovering from Jan. 8 surgery. He was cleared for summer workouts during the second week of June.

“I’m fully cleared, but I probably won’t go as low with squats as I used to for the rest of my career, just as a precaution,” Bevins said. “It feels great to go into camp 100 percent. I haven’t felt this good physically since the year I went to Iowa State.”

Likewise, it’s been a test of patience for Hulett to get on the field for the Bearcats. In his first series playing in a reserve role late in the Missouri Southern game last year, Hulett’s nagging left shoulder popped badly. He was headed for surgery to repair a torn labrum, and finally got cleared for normal lifting during the summer.

It was the second time he’d gone into surgery for shoulder repair since arriv-

ing on campus. Academically, the future electrician is a junior this fall, but it is only his second year in football eligibility.

“I couldn’t do spring ball, but now I feel close to 100 percent physically,” said the 6-3, 245-pound defensive nose guard. “I’ve played about everywhere in the D-line just trying to find a spot. I really haven’t been able to get on the field yet.

I’m anxious to finally get out there and not only show them what I can do, but show myself what I can do.”

Rich Wright, the Bearcats defensive coordinator and assistant head coach, said Hulett hasn’t settled into a role yet because of the multiple injuries.

“We really don’t know what we have yet in Keaton,” Wright said. “He hasn’t been able to do much during the past two years. We will get him reps inside. He’s a tough kid, he’s just had a bad time with injuries.”

Wright said Bevins has made the transition to defensive end so well he’s considered an NFL prospect. He’s excited to see what the former Panther star can do on two good legs this season.

“The surgery was a success and he’s done a good job rehabbing,” Wright said. “He looks fantastic. Obviously, he’s shown the ability to play through adversity, play through some pain. Sometimes that’s a consideration at the next level, as well. Before we moved him, we had a good group of defensive ends, including Matt Longacre, who’s now with the Los Angeles Rams. Collin was happy to fit in where he could. He’s gained in learning our defense and learning how to play on the edge.

He’s really on his own leash now, to play as long as he can keep going before needing a break.”

No regrets Bevins said it seems like yesterday that he arrived in Maryville, preferring the size of the school and close-knit family atmosphere of the Bearcat program after testing the Division I waters in Ames. Now, he sees Senior Day on the team’s schedule on Nov. 11.

“For whatever reasons, there are only four guys left at Iowa State from my recruiting class (of 18),” Bevins said. “I’m glad I went to Northwest. I don’t regret it at all.”

Now, it’s a matter of finishing business in the conference race and playoffs, starting with a tough opener on Thursday, Sept. 1, at Emporia State. The last time these two teams faced each other was the quarterfinals of the Division II playoffs.

“We know they’re going to be good,” Bevins said.

“UCM (Central Missouri) will be tough in week five when we play them in Arrowhead Stadium. It will be fun playing there.”

For Bevins, the 5 p.m. game on Oct. 1 could be just the first of many appearances in NFL stadiums.

“Our coaches mention stuff to me to expect (NFL) scouts to want to talk to me,” Bevins said. “We’re putting that on the back burner for now. We want to focus on what we have ahead of us this season. If I just take care of my own business, it will all work out.”

Reporting with the other freshmen to camp Wednesday is Kyle Dolecheck of Mount Ayr, who may be redshirted.

At the Bearcats’ home opener on Thursday, Sept. 8 at 7 p.m., fans will see a new football field design at Bearcat Stadium. The old turf was used for nine seasons.

were second team selections.

Woods and McDowell were each named honorable mention.

“To make all-Hawkeye 10 whether it’s baseball or track or golf or tennis, making the All-Hawkeye 10, you should be considered some of the best in your class and in the state.”

Birchard also recognized all the varsity and junior varsity players for earning academic all-state recognition.

While the baseball team had a bit of a frustrating season, the overall outlook for the entire athletic program is good, as seen by Birchard’s assistant coach this season, Brandon Phipps.

“Coach Phipps sees it from the outside having been in been in the football program, and track and baseball, basketball program for four years as an athlete, he got away to school,” Birchard said. “He looks back and says I think Cretson High School has got it going on.

That’s sort of what I say when I look at a program. I see where things are going on, whether you look at our kids that get in the weight room, our kids have it going on for us to be where we’re right now.”

With everyone from this season’s team in line to come back next year, Birchard

issued a challenge to his troops.

“We aren’t going to be happy with 15-16 and not making the state tournament and not being at the top of conference,” Birchard said.

“It’s going to take some commitment prior to the season.

We don’t have to start hitting tomorrow. We don’t need to throw year round. We need to get started in March with a consistent throwing program and getting after it hitting-wise and making a commitment to baseball.

Birchard raised the bar for next season.

“It’s a challenge to you guys that we pick it up because i feel as a coach that my program’s behind,” Birchard said. “I need to do some stuff too to keeping the expectations up here.”

Escape rooms get an upgrade into a deeper theatrical show To go deeper and scarier, they hired Broadway and immersive theater veterans — including lighting designer Ryan O’Gara from “Hamilton,� video and special effects wizard Caleb Sharp from “The Walking Dead Experience� and set designer Katie Fleming of “Sleep No More.�

Ten guests at a time begin in the reception of the Virgil Corp., a nefarious Halliburton-like contractor. The cost is $60, more than double the price of most regular escape rooms, but the experience is virtually cinematic.

The game is a noisy, chaotic, adrenalin-pumping scramble through four rooms. Doorknobs must be yanked in the darkness, peepholes in doors show scary figures, video screens flash messages, and there are holographic helicopters and corpses split in half — all to a doom-inducing soundscape. “You’re sort of dropped into an action movie,� said Worthington. “Who doesn’t want to be in the middle of a James Bond movie?�

In Orlando, Florida, Dave Maynard and his team at Digital Escape Velocity have added multi-touch screens, projectors, mobile devices and robotics. “We have gone completely off the deep end when it comes to throwing really high-tech stuff at it,� Maynard said.

Maynard and his four teammates — all veterans of Lockheed Martin’s research and development lab — just opened their first room, a deep space adventure set in 2225 that’s customizable with the touch of a button.

Six players at a time start in the battle-scarred engineering room of an alien ship and figure out how to power up the spacecraft and get to the observation deck and later the bridge. Wristbands offer players status updates, lights and engine sounds are synched up, video clues are sent depending on need and metrics are kept for a high scoreboard. “We innovate by really looking at how do we take the best of one thing and the best of another thing, put it together and make something that no one’s ever seen before,� said Maynard.

NEW YORK (AP) — You meet in a nondescript reception room in a midtown Manhattan skyscraper.

You’re handed a form on a clipboard. Then the receptionist slips away and the doors lock — and all hell breaks loose.

Within an hour, you and your group will have searched for clues in drawers and bookcases to get free, crawled through a ventilation shaft and encountered a woman dangling from a meat hook. “Paradiso: Chapter 1� fuses the traditional escape room game with theatrical elements like actors and high-tech production values. “Paradiso� is one of several shows pushing the boundaries of what escape rooms can become, turning the fast-growing games into a richer, theatrical experience. “It seemed like there was an opportunity for escape rooms to go to the next level,� said Michael Counts, the creator and one of the early pioneers of immersive theater. “For us, it was creating a deeper narrative, something that was expansive.�

Escape rooms were invented in Japan. They first appeared in the U.S. in 2014.

There are now some 4,850 escape rooms in 84 countries and in every U.S. state, according to the online Escape Room Directory. “Maybe ‘escape game’ is a very limited word to use,� said John Hennessy, one of the first to embrace the trend in the U.S. “I think we’re going to have to start calling them something different.�

Hennessy, who organized races and scavenger hunts around southern California, now runs four escape rooms, including ones set in a medieval alchemist’s lab and a filmnoir style Hollywood mystery. “People spend their days pretty much staring at a screen — a monitor or a telephone, or whatever. This is very different from that. You’re faced with problems that you have to solve by talking to each other and working with other people,� he said.

Counts teamed up with producer Jennifer Worthington, a former executive with filmmaker Jerry Bruckheimer, to create “Paradiso.�

Bonny Campbell and Robert Peinelt, both of Creston, announce their engagement and upcoming marriage Aug. 26.

The couple will reside in Creston.
