New electronic voting machines will be made available for Tuesday’s school board elections at all five Union County precincts.

They have been purchased by the Union County Auditor’s office, and will be used in all future elections in Union County.

Two types of machines were purchased. The first are ballot readers. They collect and electronically read ballots fed into the machine by precinct officials.

“Our machines were getting to the point where they were outdated,” said Hysell

Union County Auditor Sandy Hysell. “And so we thought it was time to upgrade the machines — the software part of it was getting outdated. It was no longer going to be supported.

So we knew we had to do something. It was time.”

Also purchased were new touch-screen voting-interface machines that voters can use to submit votes.

The machines then print out voters’ ballots. They are specially equipped to aid hearing and vision impaired voters submit ballots.

The touch-screen interface machines include headphones, and a console equipped with brail buttons that allow those who are hearing- and vision-impaired to navigate the ballot.

One of each type of machine will be made available at each Union County precinct.

POLLING LOCATIONS Listed are the polling locations for Tuesday’s Union County school election. Polls are open from noon to 8 p.m.

Instead of having something that’s not going to be used, to me that’s wasting money. To me, let’s get a product that people are going to use.

“I encourage people to use them,” continued Hysell. “I think they’ll really enjoy them. They’re not just for the hearing- and

NEW YORK (AP) — Holding photos and reading names of loved ones lost 16 years ago, 9/11 victims’ relatives marked the anniversary of the attacks at ground zero on Monday with a solemn and personal ceremony.

About a thousand 9/11 family members, survivors, rescuers and officials were gathered as the ceremony at the World Trade Center began with a moment of silence and tolling bells. Then relatives began reading out the names of the nearly 3,000 people killed in the deadliest terror attack on American soil.

“I know you’re looking down at me with a big, big smile on your face,” Connor Murphy said through tears.

He lost his father, Kevin James Murphy.

“I KNOW you’re looking down at me with a big, big smile on your face.”

__

CONNOR MURPHY Son of a 9/11 victim

Sixteen years later, the quiet rhythms of commemoration have become customs: a recitation of all the names of the dead, moments of silence and tolling bells, and two powerful light beams that shine through the night.

Yet each ceremony also takes on personal touches. Over the years, some name-readers have added messages ranging from the universal (“the things we think separate us really don’t — we’re all part of this one Earth”) to the personal (“I love you and miss you.

Go Packers!”).

The victims died when hi-

jacked planes slammed into the trade center, the Pentagon and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on Sept.

11, 2001, hurling America into a new consciousness of the threat of global terrorism.

President Donald Trump, a native New Yorker observing the anniversary for the first time as the nation’s leader, observed a moment of Trump silence at the White House with first lady Melania Trump.

The Trumps also planned to participate in a 9/11 observance at the Pentagon. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are hosting a private observance for victims’ relatives there at 9:11 a.m.

Monday. After the names are read at that ceremony, there’s a public observance, with a wreath-laying and remarks.

Vice President Mike Pence and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke are scheduled to deliver remarks at the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville.

It’s on the rural field where one of the airliners crashed after passengers and crew fought to wrest control away from the terrorists who’d hijacked it and were heading for Washington.

Construction continues at the Shanksville memorial, where ground was broken Sunday for a 93-foot (28 meters) tall Tower of Voices to honor the 33 passengers and 9/11 | 2A

DEATHS Gary Wimmer Creston

Gary Wimmer, 71, of Creston joined his savior in glory, Thursday, Sept. 7, 2017.

Memorial services will be 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 13, at First Baptist Church in Creston. Pastor David Tebbenkamp, Pastor Dan Fields and Rev. Norman Hoag will officiate.

Burial will be in Jeru- Wimmer salem Cemetery at a later date. Open memorial visitation will be from 2 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12, at First Baptist Church with family receiving friends from 5 to 8 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to First Baptist Church or Creston youth football. Online condolences can be given at www.powersfh.com.

Gary Daniel Wimmer, son of Margaret L. (Kelley) and Charles Daniel Wimmer, was born Feb. 14, 1946, in Creston. Gary attended Lincoln No. 5 through the eighth grade.

He graduated from Creston High School in 1964.

While in school, Gary was a gifted athlete competing in many sports. He had a particular passion for baseball, even playing on a traveling semi-pro team for a time, the Saints. Gary continued his education at Southwestern Community College and Northwest Missouri State University where he earned his Bachelor of Arts and later his Masters of Arts degree.

Gary served his country as a part of the National Guard during his college years.

Following his graduation in 1970, Gary settled in Mount Ayr where he took his first job as a physical education instructor and coach. Gary coached many things while in Mount Ayr including football, wrestling and baseball.

In 1972, Gary was united in marriage to Janene (Van Houtan) at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Creston. They welcomed their daughter

CONT. FROM | 1A

Benjie Naquel in 1974.

Two years later, Gary and family moved to Creston where he continued his education and coaching career. In Creston, he taught swimming lessons at Franklin School for many years in addition to coaching eighth-grade football, cross country, softball and officiating wrestling even at the state tournament. In 1979, they welcomed their daughter Ashley Mikkael.

Gary was a member of First Baptist Church, where he served as a trustee and deacon. He was a member of the Union County Fair Board where he managed the cook shack.

Gary had a God-given gift to make others feel special. And he used that gift mightily. He showed genuine interest, care and concern to everyone he met, everywhere he went.

No one humbly encouraged, supported or loved others more. He specifically had a unique gift to see into a child’s heart, discover their value and potential and help them realize it.

His daily life was an example of how to overcome challenges. Nineteen years ago, Gary’s life, and the lives nearest him, were altered forever. While he faced many struggles and obstacles, with the help of his wife and friends, he lived his life to the fullest extent possible. Never did he allow his limitations to keep him from being the fun-loving, supportive man God created him to be. His family and friends will forever be grateful for those “bonus” years with him.

Gary and Janene made the most of those years, partnering to celebrate their daughters’ marriages, the births of their seven grandchildren and creating a farmstead that is as beautiful as it is fun. They were blessed to enjoy lifelong relationships with dear friends and neighbors.

Never was there a more supportive dad of his two daughters. Gary came off the wrestling mats and out of the cornfields to sit proudly at dance and piano recitals. He spent endless summer hours guiding his girls in the horse ring and on the softball field.

Through his actions, they learned and enjoyed selfless, unconditional love.

And oh, his grandkids.

“Papa” lit their universe.

He didn’t miss a birth, even if it meant driving through a snowstorm. The bond between Papa and his grandkids began the moment he held them for the first time, tears in his eyes. Papa was their number one fan. He and Mama made it their highest priority to cheer on the kids at their many events and games, even when it meant driving all day for it. If he wasn’t there to share it in person, Papa was the first call after ballgames or even just to share a funny story from the day.

He was an extremely appreciative audience of it all.

Papa and Mama poured so much of themselves into the farm for the grandkids – and it worked – the kids preferred it to any other place on earth! Those kids were embraced by the purest love, wrapped up in the non-stop fun of playing ball, driving ride-on vehicles, fishing, riding horse, swimming, playing games, roasting s’mores, swinging, snuggling, reading books ... and on and on.

Gary believed strongly in the power of prayer. Daily he could be found sitting in his bedroom chair, having read the Bible, with his head bowed in prayer. His family and friends will miss this great prayer warrior.

Coming to a saving knowledge of Jesus in his adult life, Gary never took his salvation for granted and clung to the promises of his faith. He lived his life demonstrating Jesus’ love for others.

Because of what Jesus overcame, we rejoice that Gary’s body is made whole again today and we have assurance in an eternal reunion with our beloved Papa.

Left to cherish Gary’s memory are his wife Janene Wimmer of Creston; two daughters, Benjie (husband Jonathan) Anderson of Denver, Colorado, and Ashley (husband Dana) Scott of Austin, Texas; brother William Wimmer of Des Moines and seven grandchildren, Hadley Anderson, Adam Scott, Evan Anderson, Isaac Scott, Quincy Anderson, Bo Scott and Christian Anderson.

Gary was preceded in death by his parents.

11 Memorial plaza strives to be apolitical: Politicians can attend, but since 2011, they haven’t been allowed to read names or deliver remarks.

Yet last year’s 15th-anniversary ceremony became entangled in the narrative of a fractious presidential campaign when Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton left abruptly, stumbled into a van and ultimately revealed she’d been diagnosed days

Overall, SWCC’s total tax asking is less than 88 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation.

“And we encourage everybody to get out there and vote,” said Hysell.

“Our school elections seem to be more of a smaller (turnout) election, and this is the time to get everybody out and vote.

“These are the elections that affect you the most,” said Hysell. “These affect your taxes. And, yet, they seem to be our smallest elections for turnout. So use your right.”

earlier with pneumonia.

The episode fed into questions that then-Republican-nominee Trump had repeatedly raised about Clinton’s stamina and transparency. She took three days off to recover, and Trump used footage of her stagger in a campaign ad.

Trump has often invoked his memories of 9/11 to highlight his hometown’s resilience and responders’ bravery. Some of his recollections have raised eyebrows, particularly remarks while talking about Muslims that “thousands of people were cheering” in Jersey City, New Jersey, as the towers fell. There is no evidence in news archives of mass celebrations by Muslims there.

Meanwhile, rebuilding and reimagining continues at ground zero. The third of four planned office towers is set to open next year; so is a Greek Orthodox church, next to the trade center site, that was crushed by the South Tower’s collapse. Work toward a $250 million performing arts center continues after a design was unveiled last fall.

Most recently, plans were announced this spring to transform a grassy clearing on the memorial plaza into a walkway and area dedicated to 9/11 rescue and recovery workers, including those who died of illnesses years after being exposed to smoke, dust and ash at ground zero.

Pianist Dan Kennedy coming to Corning CORNING – Committed to contemporary instrumental music and coming from the cornfields of Western Massachusetts to the Corning Opera House is pianist Dan Kennedy.

The concert will be 7 p.m.

Saturday, Sept. 16, in the restored auditorium.

Kennedy started improvising piano music at Oberlin’s Cat-in-the-Cream Coffeehouse in the 80s and is now heard on more than 250 radio stations, including Spotify, Pandora, SiriuxsXM, Enlightened Piano and others. His debut album was produced by Will Ackerman (producer for George Winston). His third album features guest artists Ray Charles, BB King, Neville Brothers and others. The album went to No. 7 on the ZMR Top American chart and No. 4 on the British charts, where it received nominations for 2015 Album of the Year and 2015 Piano with Instrumentation award. As one of the Enlightened Piano Artists, he is in the top 300 contemporary solo pianists in the world. For more information on Kennedy, go Ask about our winter builds discount

in the school board ballot, whether to continue the 6-cent levy for Southwestern Community College (SWCC) that has been in place for the past 10 years.

All 15 Iowa community colleges have 6-cent levies in place. The levy must be approved by a simple majority of voters.

Funds gathered from the 6-cent levy are used

by SWCC to purchase instructional classroom equipment exclusively.

“It goes right to the students,” said Tom Lesan, SWCC vice president of economic development.

“It’s in the classroom — it’s not salaries, it’s not new roads, it’s not anything else. It’s just classr o o m equipm e n t .

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about leaving your purse in the cart at the grocery store. – Heloise “Dear Heloise: Once again, we had someone in our grocery store who left her purse unattended in the grocery cart. A thief walked by and apparently reached in and stole her wallet and cellphone. Please advise your readers to never leave their purses in a grocery cart, because it’s just too easy for someone to reach inside and grab their wallet or to take the entire purse.

So far this year, we’ve had five such incidents. We even placed a sign on our doors asking women not to leave their purses unattended.

Most people are honest, but sometimes there is one person who is not. Why tempt fate?” – Gerald D., Pascagoula, Miss.

FAST FACTS Dear Readers: If you have an ice-cream scoop, there are a number of ways to use it besides for scooping ice cream: * Use to shape meatballs. * Use to scoop out shortening. * Use to remove eggs from boiling water.

* Use to dig holes for bulbs in the garden. – Heloise THE MUST-HAVES Dear Heloise: I just moved into my first apartment, and money is really tight right now after having paid all the deposits and rent and picking up a few essentials, such as sheets, towels and a shower curtain. So, if I were to go out and buy a few cleaning items, what would you suggest? – Carol M., Muskegon, Mich.

Carol, congratulations on your new apartment! If you want some very inexpensive cleaning products, I highly recommend old-fashioned vinegar and baking soda.

Vinegar has been around for thousands of years to clean and polish sinks, floors and more. I have a number of cleaning ideas and tricks for cleaning in my pamphlet Vinegar Hints and More. To order, you can go to my website at www.Heloise.com, or you can send a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. There’s nothing more welcoming than coming home to an apartment that looks, smells

SUDOKU

and feels clean. – Heloise TRADITIONAL WEDDING WITH A TWIST Dear Heloise: I want a very traditional wedding: long white dress, face-covering veil, bridesmaids and lots of flowers. This is not my first wedding (I eloped the first time), but I’m now divorced, with one daughter, age 7, and a terrific guy who wants to marry me in a big wedding. I don’t want to look foolish at my second wedding, so what’s allowed and what’s not? – Ava H., Marion, Ind. Ava, best wishes on your coming marriage. Today, many brides wear white even if it’s not their first wedding.

However, a face-covering veil traditionally is only for first-time brides. There are many other options available: a veil down the back, flowers or a hat, to name a few. Go ahead and have bridesmaids, flowers and whatever you want. Use your favorite colors, dance and have fun. This is YOUR wedding, and the bride gets to have her wedding, her way. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Panthers tossed away by Cyclones ■ Creston/O-M

has less than memorable trip to start district

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

HARLAN — Merrill Field in Harlan was accommodating after a long week for the Creston/Orient-Macksburg football team, but the Cyclone football team sure wasn’t in a 42-7 victory in what was the Class 3A District 7 opener for both squads.

Nick Foss ran rampant behind the play of Harlan’s large and experienced offensive line on his way to 231 rushing yards.

Foss’s first touchdown came after Creston/O-M quarterback Kylan Smallwood fumbled the ball on the second play from scrimmage, and after two Foss runs, Harlan laid claim to a 7-0 lead a little over a minute into the game.

Harlan’s next score came less than five minutes later, when Foss capped a fourplay drive with an 11-yard sprint for a score.

Both touchdowns came around the right side of Harlan’s powerful offensive line, as the Cyclones ex-

Missouri fires defensive coordinator Cross after slow start COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — DeMontie Cross was fired as Missouri’s defensive coordinator after a year and two games in the position.

The school announced the move Sunday, a day after the Tigers (1-1) lost 31-13 to South Carolina and a week after they gave up 43 points to Football Championship Subdivision opponent Missouri State.

Cross’ firing is effective immediately, and no immediate replacement was named in the school’s announcement.

It comes ahead of the Tigers matchup with Purdue on Saturday.

A former Missouri safety from 1994-96, Cross was stripped of his play-calling duties seven games into the 2016-17 season. Even after Odom took over play-calling, the Tigers finished the season ranked worst in the Southeastern Conference in yards allowed per game.

“I am very appreciative of all that DeMontie has done for Mizzou, and am sorry that this did not work out,” Missouri coach Barry Odom said. “However, after careful evaluation, I believe it is important to

MURRAY — East Union scored 30 points in the first quarter on its way to a 60-0 win over Murray during Friday evening’s homecoming game.

Matthew Wittstock took the

opening kickoff back 70 yards for a touchdown, getting the Eagles into a groove early.

Murray fumbled on its first play from scrimmage setting up the Eagles with another prime opportunity that they converted for another six points to go up 14-0 just over three minutes into the game.

The Mustang offense struggled with turnover issues, but showed signs of life on a few drives.

Murray was able to work misdirection plays for multiple gains of five or more yards. Freshman tailback Chance Lecy finished

with 13 yards on three carries.

Murray’s leading rusher Devin Slaughter was knocked out of the game early with an injury following getting tackled out of bounds on a kick off return.

“We’re asking a lot of these guys and we’ve just got to keep working,” said Head Coach Taylor Fulton. “The option did have its moments so did the misdirection. We are getting better.”

SHENANDOAH — The Shenandoah volleyball team completed a successful week by winning the championship in its own tournament Saturday.

Earlier in the week, the Fillies had knocked off Class 4A No. 14-ranked Harlan. Shenandoah is the seventh different team in the Hawkeye 10 Conference to win a weekend tournament championship this year.

The Fillies swept Hawkeye 10 rival Creston in the championship match, 2111, 21-11.

Creston, despite a makeshift lineup with the loss of two starters last week, made a strong run to the championship match while going 4-1 for the day. The Panthers, now 5-3, defeated Fremont-Mills, Bedford and Essex in pool play and swept Stanton in the semifinals, 21-18, 21-19.

“We lacked a little focus all morning, but I thought we played really good volleyball against Stanton in the semifinals,” co-coach Mallory Peterson said. “We had to wait through consolations to play the final, and we didn’t come out playing as well against Shenandoah. They have two big hitters with quick arm swings and defensively we struggled. But I think when we play them in conference we can give them a better match.”

The Panthers played all day without senior Breanna Wallace, who ranks second on the team in kills and digs. She is nursing an Achilles tendon strain.

SW Valley 38, Earlham 15 CORNING — Three Southwest Valley players rushed for more than 100 yards as the Timberwolves avenged a disappointing loss in 2016 in a dominant 38-15

victory Friday night.

The Timberwolves, now 3-0 overall and 1-0 in Class A District 7, outgained the Cardinals 441-234 in total yards. Southwest Valley led 28-0 at halftime.

Quarterback Chance Cobb ran for a team-high 177 yards, including a 9-yard touchdown scamper, and completed 3 of 8 passes for 38 yards and a 15-yard scoring connection with Addison Bull.

Aaron Armstrong scored three touchdowns and 114 yards for the Timberwolves.

Aiden Gaule added 112

yards on the ground.

Brett Schafroth led the Timberwolves defense with 14 total tackles and Armstrong had 10.

Southwest Val- Schafroth ley’s ball control, amassing 403 yards on 45 carries, limited the opportunities for Earlham’s running attack behind a big line. Jason Hopp came into the game with 193 yards in

two games, but was held to 50 yards on seven rushes.

Junior Devin Crees led the Cardinals with 131 yards on 16 attempts.

“Fundamentals can beat size, and I thought our offensive line was firing off the ball and doing a good job against their front,” Southwest Valley coach Anthony Donahoo said. “On defense we were flying to the ball.

We have guys we can rotate in, especially at cornerback, and I thought our speed made a difference on both sides of the ball.”

The Timberwolves had

success despite some adversity, including the absence of Jace Petersen, at cornerback and fullback.

“Jace got a concussion in the Mount Ayr game and he’s just now in that protocol phase for a possible return against Griswold next week,” Donahoo said.

“During the week Aaron Armstrong and Chance Cobb were both sick. Cobb missed two days of school. I was worried. The guys really responded on a hot night and played with a great AREA FB | 6A

The Eagles offensive line opened up holes for and allowed Wittstock and others to run free. “A lot of that is making line adjustments and when we start to do that things start to click for us,� said Hardy.

MOUNT AYR — A late first-half fumble negated what could have been a lead for Mount Ayr on a night where missed opportunities killed the Raiders in a 34-22 home loss to Central Decatur.

Mount Ayr would have led at the half had it scored, but headed into the locker room down 8-7.

Dawson Frost’s five-yard scoot was the line Raider score. He Frost also was 4 of 9 passing for 51 yards. Frost ran for 39 yards. Bradley Wurster caught two of his passes for 37 yards.

Z a c h Murphy ended up leading Mount Ayr with 148 yards rushing on Murphy 15 carries. “ W e were able to move the ball but we just couldn’t finish off drives,� Mount Ayr co-coach Delwyn Showalter said. “That was the big thing....

clean up our penalties.�

Cardinals quarterback Carter Boothe carved up the Raider defense in the second half with his 331 passing yards on 16 of 25 attempts, five touchdowns and 91 yards rushing.

He’s a nice player, obviously a great passer and a slippery runner,� Showalter said. “Really hard to draw a beat on him and get a good solid hit. We thought we had him pinned in and he slipped through.�

Cole Pedersen and Gunner Graham both recorded two touchdown catches. “We really didn’t do a bad job of covering them and I know it sounds ridiculous probably. Our pass coverage was decent, the thing was, we just could not get pressure on him (Boothe),� Showalter said.

The Raiders already had issues with some lack of depth in the secondary before Hunter Haveman went out of the game while banged up. The size advantage the Cardinals had at wide receiver helped the Central Decatur offense immensely.

Marcus Daughton, a staple of the Raider secondary, did not play as a result of an injury sustained in last week’s loss to Southwest Valley.

Mount Ayr (1-2, 0-1) heads up to Woodward Academy for a game next Friday. “We go up there. Long road trip and the team has a lot of athletes,� Showalter said. “They do some nice things. We’ve got to take carer lot ourselves, we’ve got to clean the penalties up and we’ve got to take care of the football.�

PANTHERS: CONT. FROM | 5A

Others like Dalten Bierle (six tackles, one for loss), and Eli Loudon (5.5 tackles and a pass breakup) had to step up in situations neither has had much experience in during varsity action yet.

Smallwood picked up the Panthers’ longest play of the night on the drive following Foss’s second touchdown run, a 54-yard down the Panther sideline on a read-option keeper. Creston/O-M was still stopped in the red zone when Smallwood’s pass fell incomplete on an attempt toward Evan Jacobson.

The Panthers mounted several drives into Cyclone territory, only to see them come to a screeching halt.

The best example came on the Panthers’ last drive of the first half, Cody Wagner returned the kickoff 61 yards to set Creston/O-M up with its best chance to score in the first half.

Smallwood hit Wagner in stride beyond the Cyclone defense in the end zone, but the ball slipped through his hands.

Panther Rylan Luther also later recorded a long kickoff return of his own to the Harlan 17-yard line after which the Panthers turned the ball over on downs.

Smallwood then fumbled on a blindside hit once more.

Harlan took over with a 21-0 lead before half. Creston/O-M lost possession of three fumbles Friday.

Foss scored that last touchdown of the first half, as well as the first two of the second half to put the game out of reach. His 49-yard punt fake run for a touchdown down the Harlan sideline featured several broken tackles as the exasperated Panthers could not bring down the shifty Foss down.

“I think we got off the ball and kept moving. Rather than just getting stalemates, we moved them and created some seams. And if you cre-

ate a seam, I’ll tell you what, Foss can take advantage of it,” Harlan coach Curt Bladt told Harlan News-Advertiser sports reporter Mike Oeffner.

The Panthers didn’t find the end zone until Kylan Smallwood evaded several Cyclone defenders and Cole Higgins caught a pass in the far back left corner of the end zone and tapped a foot down for a 14-yard score with 4:59 left in the game. That made the score 42-7.

Harlan ran for 326 yards on the ground, 158 in the third quarter and threw for 121 yards, almost all of which came from third-string quarterback Preston Mulligan, who came on in place of Brett Sears.

Smallwood ran for 129 yards on 12 carries, and completed 4 of 10 passing attempts for 51 yards.

The game brought a symbolic end to a tumultuous week, as the football team had five players removed from the team for being pictured in a KKK-reminiscent image. Reporting on the incident was done earlier in the week in the News Advertiser.

Morrison, after speaking with the News Advertiser about the situation concerning the former players, noted that he will not be making further comment on the matter.

‘The administration appreciates what Harlan did tonight as far as the extra security officers there, all the communications with the kids in school and everything the extra mile they went that night,” Creston activities director and assistant principal Jeff Bevins added in a statement Friday night.

“Mitch Osborn does a good job. Their administration, their coaching staff, they understand the situation. Our kids felt welcome,” Morrison said.

Creston/O-M (1-2, 0-1) will play host to Denison-Schleswig (2-1, 1-0) on Friday. The Monarchs are coming off a 31-28 win over Atlantic. Creston/O-M defeated Denison-Schleswig 42-7 a year ago.

“Maitlen had a great day,” Peterson said. “And Bre Ross doesn’t always get a lot of publicity, but she is so steady in running our offense. Against Stanton she had 17 assists. MaKenna continues to always dig the ball for us. We know St. Albert will be a tough match for us, but it will be at home and that helps us step up to the competition.”

“Jaxie played against ADM and Clarinda, but we found out after the second match that she was done for the season per doctor’s orders,” Peterson said. “That puts a lot on our other setter, Bre Ross.

Sefrit, Duckworth, and Denton attended the E911 Council meeting on July 13th.

DeRouchey informed that 62 PSAPs now have one carrier for Text to 911. The state has allowed an extension for the counties that are not ready for Text to 911 until October of 2017. DeRouchey had sent out some PSA packets to some of the counties, and the rest of the counties should be getting theirs soon. The radio announcements are almost done.

Denton said Steven Ray announced that he will be stepping down as the E911 Council chairman since he is running for governor. Bob Sievert will be the interim chairman.

Williams asked if the remaining grant money left from the physical consolidations would be dispersed to the PSAPs. Sefrit said that DeRouchey had said previously that they will be equally dispersed among the PSAPs with the remaining funds.

There was continued discussion on the disbursement of Stephen Patterson's duties as the previous Secretary/Treasurer. The board agreed that Sefrit will continue to be the Secretary/Treasurer as previously approved, but the state auditor would recommend that the banking information continue to go to another board member. Motion by Russell that Duckworth will be the overseer for the banking information, and Williams will be her backup and his signature will be also added on the bank accounts. Second by Henry. All ayes.

Denton readdressed the fact that the By Laws and Articles of Agreement need to be redone. Duckworth expressed that the Articles of Agreement could be integrated into the By Laws and have one document.

Motion by Shelley to combine the two documents into one document. Second by Duckworth. All ayes.

Duckworth handed out some rough drafts of the By Laws with the language change of E9-1-1 to 911 and updated the names of the board members signature pages. Denton pointed out that Iowa Code Chapter 477B should be Iowa Code Chapter 34A. The membership will be updated to one of the representatives will be an administrator of the countywide communications center. Sefrit will update the current document for approval at the next meeting.

There was discussion about Sefrit getting updates from each county annually for current board members and the alternate. Sefrit will send out a form at the beginning of the calendar year and have the counties return it to her.

Vos gave an update for the Text to 911 cutover for the remaining six counties that he set up with the state. Union and Adams will be September 19. Clarke & Guthrie will be September 20. Madison and Adair will be September 21. New software will be installed, and Vos thought it would be best to have calls rerouted the day of the cutover. There was much discussion to how the Text to 911 will work. US Cellular will be the carrier for the testing.

Gray wanted to know why there calls could not rollover somewhere else. Vos and Welch explained that Taylor County is a stand alone PSAP and has its own host. Welch explained that it has to do with the telcos district lines and originally Taylor County thought they could get fiber as an option to have another path back.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:25 p.m.

IRMA: CONT. FROM | 2A

up to the Georgia line, from the Atlantic coast to the Gulf side. It swamped homes, uprooted massive trees, flooded streets, cast boats ashore, snapped miles of power lines and toppled construction cranes. “How are we going to survive from here?� asked Gwen Bush, who waded through thigh-deep floodwaters outside her central Florida home to reach National Guard rescuers and get a ride to a shelter. “What’s going to happen now? I just don’t know.�

More than 6.2 million homes and businesses remained without power, and 220,000 people huddled in shelters. Officials warned it could take weeks for electricity to be restored to everyone.

No deaths in Florida were immediately linked to the

storm. At least 34 people were killed in the Caribbean as Irma ravaged a string of resort islands long known as vacation playgrounds for the rich.

Irma’s wrath in the Sunshine State stretched hundreds of miles.

In the Keys, where the storm roared ashore Sunday morning with winds of 130 mph (209 kph), search crews planned door-to-door checks on residents. In Coral Gables, near Miami, fallen trees made streets look like jungles, and damaged power lines buzzed. In Estero near the state’s southwest corner, people sat in puddles in a crowded arena-turned-shelter.

And more than 400 miles from where Irma first came ashore, storm surge brought flooding to the Jacksonville area at levels not seen in more than 50 years, with at least 46 people pulled from swamped homes. “Stay inside unless you

are in danger,� forecasters warned.

The full breadth of the damage statewide remained unknown, though, with communications and travel cut off by high winds and flooding.

As of midmorning, Irma’s outer bands were also blowing into Georgia, where the storm’s center was expected to arrive later in the day.

From there, Irma is expected to push into Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee on Tuesday and Wednesday.

A tropical storm warning was issued for the first time ever in Atlanta, and school
