Iowa school districts switching to propane powered buses

CRESTON COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

‘WE ARE ONE’

BARNUM (AP) — More school districts in Iowa are using propane to power their buses, which district officials say saves money and reduces emissions.

Six of the nine route buses for the Manson Northwest Webster School District are propane-powered, The Messenger reported . The district has been adding propane-powered buses over the past seven years.

Though propane buses get fewer miles per gallon than diesel, the former is cheaper per gallon. There also is a federal tax credit of 30 cents per gallon to use propane.

Approximately 330 Creston Community Middle School students gathered on the Creston Community High School soccer field Friday afternoon.

The students arranged themselves in concentric circles as a drone, operated

by CCHS communications and service technology (CAST) students, hovered above.

On CCMS Principal Brad Baker’s command, the students all raised the arms into the air in unison and looked up to the drone floating above the center of the circle.

“We’re taking a picture of our students to show we value them,” Baker said.

“We want to get out a picture that represents we’re

all one. That’s kind of been our theme lately ... we are all one and we have differences, but we need to celebrate them.”

Shortly after the drone snapped a few photos of the students in their circles,

one student began swaying his or her arms from side to side. Soon, the entire circle of students was swaying their arms from side to side in an unplanned show of unison.

Jeff Hansen is the transportation director for Pocahontas Area Community Schools, which has two propane-powered buses. He says reducing bus emissions was another reason for the switch.

“We have buses sitting there idling back to back, and that diesel exhaust fumes were a big deal here a few years ago,” Hansen said.

“You don’t have that with the propane.”

The propane buses also warm up faster, which is an advantage in the cold winter BUS | 2A

Floridians allowed to return to some of the hard-hit Keys MIAMI (AP) — Residents were allowed to return Tuesday to some islands in the hurricane-slammed Florida Keys as officials tried to piece together the scope of Irma’s destruction and rushed aid into the drenched and debris-strewn state.

Two days after the storm

roared into the Keys with 130 mph winds, the full extent of the destruction there was still a question mark because communications and access were cut off in many cases.

owners from Key Largo, Tavernier and Islamorada near the mainland were allowed back for their first look.

The Lower Keys — including the chain’s most distant and most populous island, Key West, with 27,000 people — were still off-limits, with a roadblock in place where the single highway to the farther islands was washed out. Road repairs were promised in the coming days.

Corey Smith, a UPS driver who rode out the hurricane in Key Largo, said Tuesday that power was out on the island, there was very limited gas and supermarkets were closed. Branches and other brush blocked some roads.

Senate GOP looking for budget deal to open way to tax redo WASHINGTON (AP) — Pushing toward the Republicans’ prime goal of tax legislation, the GOP Senate leader and members of the Budget Committee are scrambling to come up with a budget deal to clear the way for the first tax overhaul in three decades.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and GOP members of the Budget Committee are meeting Tuesday with two top Trump McConnell administration officials to plot breaking the budget stalemate.

Lack of a budget plan for the 2018 fiscal year starting Oct. 1 is a roadblock to the must-do legislation overhauling the tax system that Republicans and President Donald Trump have made their highest priority. Trump’s top economic adviser, Gary Cohn, and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin are meeting with McConnell and budget panel members.

Underscoring the president’s desire for tax legislation, Trump was hosting a bipartisan group of senators for dinner at the White House on Tuesday, including a trio of moderate Democrats from states Trump won last November and whose votes he’d like to have on a tax bill.

Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Donnelly of Indiana are to be joined at dinner by Republican Sens.

John Thune of North Dakota, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Orrin Hatch of Utah, the White House said.

Manchin, Heitkamp and Donnelly are the only Democratic senators who did not sign a letter addressed to Republican leaders and Trump that said the Democratic caucus would not support a tax overhaul that cuts taxes for the “top 1 percent� or adds to the government’s $20 trillion debt.

Heitkamp traveled with Trump aboard Air Force One to an event in her home state last week where

“A quiet neighborhood for your retirement years�

he spoke broadly about the tax plan. Trump pitched the senator on the overhaul, calling her a “good woman.� Heitkamp said after the event that she needs to see the details first.

Under Washington’s complicated ways, passing a congressional budget blueprint is the only way to set in motion a special process for rewriting the tax code. If Congress can pass a budget, Republicans controlling the Senate don’t need to worry about a Democratic filibuster blocking any tax bill.

House action has been held up by a battle between moderates and conservatives over whether to pair spending cuts with the filibuster-proof tax measure.

Senate action has been on hold while the House struggles.

An impasse could doom the tax overhaul effort.

On the budget panel, Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., is hoping to limit the deficit cost of the tax effort, while Toomey is on the other end of the spectrum favoring more robust deficit-financed tax cuts. GOP leaders have asked them to try to craft an agreement among the 12 budget panel Republicans. Any Republican defection on the budget plan would deadlock the narrowly divided committee. “I’m a fiscal hawk, OK? I believe in pro-growth tax reform and I believe that’s a mechanism toward lowering deficits,�

Corker said Monday. “But I’m also someone who wants to be real- Corker istic about all of this, and not let this just be party time that takes us no place but massive deficits down the road.�

Revamping the nation’s tax system and providing relief for the middle class is a Republican mission following the collapse of efforts to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Trump has made it a pillar of his push for economic growth.

“THEY’RE shoving people back to a place with no resources. It’s just going to get crazy pretty quick.�

them back into the Upper Keys. All three hospitals on the island chain were still closed.

After flying over the Keys on Monday, the governor described overturned mobile homes, washedashore boats and other damage. A Navy aircraft carrier was due to anchor off Key West to help in the search-and-rescue effort.

Key West resident Laura Keeney waited in a Miami hotel for word that it was safe to return home, and she was anxious to hear more about her apartment complex. Her building manager told her about flooding there, but further updates were hard to come by because of limited phone service. “They told me there is definitely water in the downstairs apartment, which is me,� said Keeney, who works as a hotel concierge.

Lower Keys resident Leyla Nedin said she doesn’t plan to return anytime soon to her home near where Irma came ashore on Cudjoe Key. “There are still nine bridges that need final inspections. Plus we are still without water, power, sewer, gas and cell service,� she said. “My concern is that even if we get to go in to the Lower Keys, our frag-

ile infrastructure could be even more compromised.�

The Keys are linked by 42 bridges that have to be checked for safety before motorists can be allowed on the farther islands, officials said. County officials said crews were working to reopen U.S. 1 as quickly as possible.

In a parting blow to the state, the storm caused record flooding in the Jacksonville area.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said 356 people were rescued from the floodwaters on Monday.

On its Twitter account, the sheriff’s office said it hopes “people who had their lives saved yesterday will take evacuation orders seriously in the future.�

Paul Johnson and Shonda Brecheen spent Sunday night in a house they were remodeling near downtown Jacksonville after working late on the project. Jonhson woke up Monday to see boats passing by where cars normally drive.

They managed to push his truck through standing water to a parking lot to dry out, but he’s worried about the swamped vehicle. “I’m 32, I’ve lived here most of my life, and I’ve never seen anything like that,� he said.

Still, he said people coming back to Key Largo should be relieved that many buildings escaped major damage.

On Tuesday morning, the rainy remnants of Irma pushed through Alabama and Mississippi after drenching Georgia. Flashflood watches and warnings were issued around the Southeast.

Seven deaths in Florida have been blamed on Irma, along with two in Georgia and one in South Carolina.

At least 35 people were killed in the Caribbean.

An estimated 13 million Florida residents were without electricity — twothirds of the state’s population — as sweltering heat returned across the peninsula in the storm’s wake.

More than 180,000 people huddled in shelters in Florida, and officials warned it could take weeks for electricity to be restored to everyone. “I know for our entire state, especially the Keys, it’s going to be a long road,�

Gov. Rick Scott said.

Baker said offering a one-time assembly isn’t the answer to better educating the district’s students. “We want to make sure we’re constantly saying how can we address and teach and learn through our curriculum, through our technology, through our history,� Baker said. “Our goal is making sure, as a community, we really enforce that we’re from diverse backgrounds and we need to celebrate them and make sure everybody fits into our boundaries, which are respecting others, respecting yourself and respecting this place.�

Baker’s plan is for his students to spread that photo with the logo and message of unity across social media. “We’re making sure we know what CARES means for the district,� Baker said. “We just want to make sure the students feel they can express to us if they need help or if they get in situations that are hard at this age.

Rivalry games are hard to beat Carter’s 2 Cents Carter Eckl staff writer

ceckl@crestonnews.com @CarterEckl

I’ve experienced a handful of college football games from the sidelines. None of which stack up to the CyHawk game I had the fortune of photographing this weekend.

Even before opening kickoff, you could tell it was going to be loud. Cyclone fans tailgate with the likes of almost no other college campus I’ve been to.

Given the sheer magnitude of the game, I expected the atmosphere to be electric and it didn’t let me down. From the opening air raid siren when Iowa State came onto the field until the end of overtime, the noise hardly ever let up.

I don’t think I could pick a favorite part, but the game, without a doubt, held up to any rivalry game I’ve seen.

The game itself was anything but what I expected. The 14-10 halftime score was exactly what I thought the two teams were capa-

ble of. Offenses that can put together a couple of long, thorough scoring drives but nothing that jumps off the page.

Then the second half kicked off.

Each team traded a possession, followed with five of the next seven drives resulting in touchdowns.

At this point, I had definitely lost a little bit of my hearing. I can contribute that to the crowd and standing in front of the cannon, never remembering that it was about to go off.

I don’t have a ton of experience taking photos, but was lucky enough to be in great position for a couple that I’m fairly proud of.

And one that easily would have been the best one of the afternoon if it wasn’t slightly out of focus.

The second half felt like a whirlwind.

Allen Lazard’s ability to go up and get the ball, especially on a

fade route, is up there with some of the best in the country. Akrum Wadley put Cyclone defenders on skates repeatedly.

Next thing we knew, Iowa State had reeled off 17 unanswered points and Jack Trice stadium probably hit its peak decibel level.

The two best plays of the game were yet to come. Iowa State completed a 74-yard touchdown pass of which my view was completely obstructed. The only reason I knew what was happening was because the crowd was going crazy.

Wadley responded quickly with a 46-yard reception of his own.

He barely broke the goal line, but with only a minute left to play, it basically guaranteed that the 2017 CyHawk game was headed to overtime.

Since the game finished, I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of a better football game I’ve witnessed live.

A 2009 Notre Dame-Stanford contest in Palo Alto was the best I could come up with. Everybody in the stadium knew the Irish couldn’t stop Toby Gerhart who finished with more than 200 yards rushing and three touchdowns. The last of which came with just under a min-

CNA photo by CARTER ECKL

Akrum Wadley reaches across the goal line as he is tackled by two Iowa State defenders to tie the CyHawk game at 38-all with just over a minute to play in regulation. Wadley finished the game with 127 yards rushing along with the touchdown. Iowa won the rivalry game 44-41 in overtime.

ute remaining in regulation.

I know fan bases rise to the occasion against their rivals, but for my first ever Iowa State football game, I can tell the Cyclone fandom is nothing to smirk at.

The quote of the game came as we were walking through the

parking lot back to our car.

“Iowa State lost. How am I supposed to have fun tonight?”

It’s that kind of rabid, lossesruin-the-rest-of-my-day fandom that I never tire of seeing. Hopefully, it won’t be my last CyHawk game. But, if it is, I certainly won’t forget it.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Praying for healing and love From Pastor Jodi Rushing Creston First United Methodist Church

I was saddened this week to hear and see the social media post of several Creston Community High School students. I’m sure many of you were saddened too. This incident brought our community to the news in the way we never wanted.

The online social media was not just a small matter. I don’t personally know who the boys were in the picture, and I don’t pretend to know their thoughts or intentions. I know wearing white hoods over their heads, waving a confederate flag, burning a cross and holding a gun incites fear in many. It had so many symbols of hatred, inequality and oppression that some people who saw it were angry and scared.

My hope is that these boys will understand the significance of what they have done, understand the ramifications of their actions and have the wisdom to make amends. There are consequences to all of our actions and I pray the consequences these teens face do not break their spirit and that they can be transformed by this incident and not be broken.

Hatred is not something we are born with. It is something that we learn. Our own actions speak loudly to children and teens and I hope as a church and community we can share love instead of hatred towards all those who are different than us.

I am asking all of you to pray with me for these students, their family and friends, our school system and community and our country and world that we might only share love with each other.

If you will remember, in January of this year, I started what I thought was something people, especially my old customers, desired. Many told me they wished I had stayed in business. I had quit because the bottom sort of dropped out of book sales, insurance was too high, as well as taxes, and people just plain were not buying printed books from me.

Buying online, Kindles and Nooks, the big box stores, the malls, all of the above were killing me. It was time to retire.

I stayed retired for about a year and a half and started to look for a part-time job to compensate for tight retirement benefits. Forty years in the book business doesn’t qualify

business are the real survivors. They have managed to stay open through the big box influx, Kmart and WalMart, and the fringes movement.

Business trending has leaned toward online shopping. Convenience is the word today.

Living in a small town isn’t just about finding a house to live in.

There are certain responsibilities that should go along with it. Keeping up the business community is a part of the big picture, not just a piece, but the entire business community.

We need to remember our historical background as well as the newer trends. Our downtown is a prime example for old and new businesses just starting out. This is often their first step.

It is our responsibility to help them get a foothold.

you for much. I was lucky enough to land a part-time, every-other-week position, as the directional supervisor at the compost site. It was a good position working for the city. Still, given to the part-time status, I decided I could start another bookstore.

The result thus far? Business has not been good, not even fair. My wife, Sandy, and I have decided, if business does not improve satisfactorily by January 2018, we will deem our second try as a failure and close shop.

I brought that background to your attention to illustrate to you and the entire community how difficult it has become to maintain the oldest business section. How long has it been since you have driven to the old downtown? There are many closed spaces. The people who are still in

There have been statements made that the recent KKK incident does not represent the community values of Creston. It may be that we are ignoring our responsibility.

In November 2016, Creston voters gave a majority to President Donald Trump, whose slogan of

“Make America Great Again” was to me, “Let America Hate Again.”

Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, head of the Department of Justice, once said, “The Klan is OK.” Both Iowa Senators, who have received comfortable electoral margins in Creston, approved Attorney General Sessions for his post. It is clear that a visible and strong commitment to fairness and equality is

not the highest priority for voters in Creston.

We should not be surprised that impressionable youth act out when mature voters approve of candidates who foster discrimination and, by extension, the logical consequences, violence and murder.

My grandmother used this phrase, “Don’t make a skunk your pet, then complain about the smell.”

A bit of Emmy drama: Which nominee Miller anniversary open house, card shower will be named Best Drama?

NEW YORK (AP) — Year after year, too many Emmy categories are laden with expected and oft-repeated winners. No drama then, when the envelope is torn.

But there is drama ahead in the drama categories that will be presented Sunday night.

Four of the seven nominated drama series are new on the scene. Consequently at least half of the Best Drama Actress, Actor and Supporting Actor nominees come from freshman shows, as do no fewer than five of the six Best Supporting Actress drama nominees.

No wonder the Best Drama field has confounded odds-makers. Any one of those nominees could take home the trophy.

Consider the wide range of contenders: — “Better Call Saul.” On basic cable (AMC), with its third consecutive Best Drama nomination, yet thus far no Emmy wins in any category.

— “Westworld.” On premium cable (HBO). Its first year in contention.

— “The Handmaid’s Tale.” On a streaming channel (Hulu). Its first year in contention, and, potentially, Hulu’s maiden Emmy win.

— “House of Cards.” On a rival streaming channel already well-established with Emmy-winning content (Netflix), nominated for its fifth consecutive season.

— “Stranger Things.”

Also on Netflix, in its first season.

— “The Crown.” Yet ANOTHER Netflix entry, also in its rookie season.

— “This Is Us.” A freshman series on NBC, a broadcast network that scored its first Emmy in

1949 but which, along with the other legacy broadcasters, has been shut out of this category for years.

(CBS’ “The Good Wife” was these broadcasters’ last drama series to be nominated, in 2011, and ABC’s “Lost” was the last to win, way back in 2005.)

Tom O’Neil, author of “The Emmys” reference book and editor of Gold Derby, an awards handicapping website, predicts “Stranger Things” will take the prize, but in the same breath he acknowledges that show is too young-skewing and too “genre” to be an Emmy slam-dunk. The drama category, he sums up, is “wide open. You could make a compelling argument for all seven nominees.”

But let’s set aside for a moment who will win, and focus on what these nominees say about TV today.

For starters, more than half of the field come from streaming channels, a distribution system that wasn’t represented by the Emmys until “House of Cards” claimed three statuettes in 2013.

Both premium and basic cable are also represented. (And it’s fun to recall that, until 1988, Emmy didn’t even recognize cable shows.)

And as the category’s biggest surprise, broadcast TV, which once had the Emmys all to itself, has pulled an upset by a network denied a drama-series win for 14 years.

Another oddity about the Best Drama field this year: Here, at least, Emmy voters have kicked the habit of picking the same series time and again. (Consider the Best Comedy category, where “Veep” has been nominated yearly since its

2012 premiere and won twice — so far.) The last time as many as half the drama field was newcomers happened more than 30 years ago.

“The radical infusion of new blood in the Emmy race is largely due to the huge impact that streaming services are having on TV,” O’Neil notes. He pointed to how Netflix, Hulu and Amazon (which has landed eight Emmys in just two seasons for “Transparent”) “are having the same disruptive impact on the Emmys that they’re having on the TV industry.”

One explanation for drama’s fresh faces: The absence of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” (which has been nominated for its entire six-season run but didn’t air during the 2016-17 qualifying year) and another trusty challenger, PBS’ “Downton Abbey” (which has now concluded), has freed up slots those shows claimed for years.

Meanwhile, recent revisions in how Emmy votes are cast and counted has potentially boosted the chances for more edgy entries. Last year, the academy switched from a ranking-and-points system to simply letting voters check off a single top choice. That could account for how Rami Malek, the star of USA’s dystopian drama “Mr. Robot,” upset voter-friendly candidates like Kevin Spacey, Bob Odenkirk and Kyle Chandler.

Of course, the Emmy has been a work-in-progress since its inception. Its policies and procedures have been in turmoil and dispute as far back as 1964, when ABC and CBS lashed out by boycotting the awards ceremony (aired on NBC that year) as unfair.

“The fatal flaw in the Emmy awards is the academy’s pathetic yearning to be liked at any price, to revise its systems of awards to meet whatever may be the latest wave of criticism,” wrote The New York Times’ Jack Gould after the 1965 Emmycast, which, in response to the ‘64 kerfuffle, made some unbelievably dumb changes. “Refinements” included bunching all of the entertainment nominees into a single all-inclusive, non-competing category.

A grab bag of 15 programs — variety, comedy, drama, even high-brow music — resulted, with four of these nominees scoring Emmys.

“An unmitigated disaster,” Gould says. The next year, conventional categories were restored.

Obviously, who-will-win suspense was essential to viewers, no matter how much grousing might accompany it.

It still is. And this year’s drama category, with seven worthy contenders, is serving up guaranteed suspense. But will the winner, whichever it is, really be the “best” show?

“The Emmys have NEVER picked the best shows on TV,” O’Neil says with a laugh. He needs only to cite HBO’s “The Wire,” a permanent fixture on many best-shows-ever lists that, every one of its five seasons, got the Emmy brushoff (apart from a pair of writing nominations).

“There’s tons of outrageous examples you can point to,” O’Neil adds — “Lindsay Wagner won Best Dramatic Actress for ‘The Bionic Woman’!”

But it’s not so hard to understand, he explains: “The Emmys pick what they LIKE.”

Sides agree to stop monkeying around in primate selfie suit SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Monkey see. Monkey sue.

Monkey settle.

Attorneys representing a macaque monkey have agreed to a compromise in a case where they asserted the animal owned the copyright to selfie photos it had shot with a photographer’s camera.

Under the deal, the photographer agreed to donate 25 percent of any future revenue from the images to charities dedicated to protecting crested macaques in Indonesia, said the lawyers from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals who filed the lawsuit.

Attorneys for the group and the photographer, David Slater, on Monday asked the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to dismiss the case and throw out a lower-court decision that said animals cannot own copyrights.

Andrew J. Dhuey, an attorney for Slater, declined to comment on how much money the photos have generated or whether Slater would keep all of the remaining 75 percent of future revenue.

“PETA and David Slater agree that this case raises important, cutting-edge issues about expanding legal rights for non-human animals, a goal that they both support, and they will continue their respective work to achieve this goal,” Slater and PETA said in a joint statement.

There was no immediate ruling from the 9th Circuit on the dismissal.

PETA sued on behalf of the monkey in 2015, seeking financial control of the photographs for the benefit of the monkey named Naruto that snapped the photos with Slater’s camera.

Lawyers for Slater argued that his company,

Wildlife Personalities Ltd., owns worldwide commercial rights to the photos, including a now-famous selfie of the monkey’s toothy grin.

The photos were taken during a 2011 trip to Sulawe-

HINTS FROM HELOISE Mall musings

HOROSCOPE For Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a poor day to ask for approval from bosses, parents and VIPs. Make note of this. Postpone this request for another time. Just coast today.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Expect obstacles to arise when you try to enjoy the arts, movies, sporting events or any social diversion. It’s as if the world is conspiring against you. Likewise, romantic difficulties might arise. Be patient.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a poor day for an important discussion with a parent or a family authority figure.

People are quick to say “no.”

Therefore, bide your time and wait until later this week.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Proceed gently in everything that you do today, because obstacles will arise. They might arise as transportation problems or disagreements with others, or just a lack of cooperation.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might encounter financial difficulties today, which is why this is not an ideal day for financial negotiations and wheeling and dealing. Postpone things until Thursday or Friday morning.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Life seems to be difficult today. But that is how life goes - some days are easier than others. Just keep on truckin’.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might be discouraged by something that takes place behind the scenes today.

(Perhaps only you know about it.) Don’t let it get you down, because things will be fine by the end of the week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A friend or someone older or in a group situation might block your ideas today. Don’t let this get you down. Try again in a week, or even Friday morning. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Don’t ask bosses, parents and VIPs for permission today, because their response will be, “Talk to the hand.”

Forewarned is forearmed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Avoid controversial discussions about politics, religion and racial issues today, because you will get shot down. Just steer clear of tender subjects.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is not a good day to ask for a loan or mortgage, or to discuss shared property or inheritances. People are not

cooperative today.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Relationships with partners and close friends are a bit sticky today. Knowing this ahead of time, you can tread lightly. Don’t ask for favors.

Easy does it.

YOU BORN TODAY You are thoughtful, kind and devoted to others. You also are focused and persevering. This is a year full of excitement and change.

Many opportunities will present themselves, and when they do, you have to act fast. Your personal freedom is a top priority. You also will travel this year and do things to expand your horizons. Enjoy this busy, fast-paced year!

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: The recent subject of the FATE OF THE SHOPPING MALL brought in a lot of mail.

Here are some responses: “I’m in favor of having shopping malls, because that’s where we like to shop.

We want to be able to see the merchandise, to check its quality. We also enjoy the food courts in shopping malls.” – Ed and Jean, via email “Sometimes, not everything you see online or in a catalog looks as good in person as it does on websites.

And people are losing their jobs. It’s sad that the retail world looks so dismal right now; I hope a solution to save the mall can be found.”

– Vicki A. in California “In my area, ‘toughs’ are roaming and taking over [malls], making shoppers uncomfortable. Some malls have already closed.” – Mary, via email “Malls are not a safe option in a lot of cities today. I haven’t been to one in a few years.” – Sheri, via email “When I was young, the shops were on Main Street.

Then malls were built, and Main Street died. All of the

young people I know shop only online. The malls will die unless they can repurpose themselves.” – Ruth R. in Texas “Once I know what something feels or smells like, it is far easier to order it online.

It’s the alternative to driving 30 minutes away, parking in the sun, walking to the store, telling the kids to behave, waiting in lines, getting hassled by vendors and possibly overpaying for items. By the time I’ve finished my inperson shopping, it’s taken three to four hours of time.

The monetary value of my time and sanity is not worth going to the mall anymore.”

– Kevin S. in San Antonio Thanks for your feedback – let’s keep the discussion going! – Heloise BOX IT UP Dear Heloise: Those wonderful boxes of luxury candies that have the gold, heavy tinfoil sections for each piece of candy are perfect to place in a drawer to hold extra jewelry, and they are attractive.

Pearson leads Spartan golfers in opening weekend

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

The Southwestern Community College golf team got the 2017 fall season underway last weekend in a pair of events.

The Spartan men took second in a tightly-contested triangular Friday at Columbus, Nebraska, hosted by Central Community College.

York College won the vent by shooting a 312.

Southwestern was only two strokes back at 314 and Central CC was third at 319.

The Spartans were led by freshman Oliver Pearson’s second-place finish at 38-39 — 77.

On Saturday and Sunday the men’s and women’s teams participated in the Klocke Family Classic held at Hunters Ridge Golf Course in Marion.

Host school was Mount Mercy College.

Pearson, freshman from Melbourne, Australia, again led the Spartans by finishing in a tie for 22nd place at 80-73 — 153 in the 36-hole event.

As a team the Spartans finished 13th among 17 teams as one of only four NJCAA teams in the field.

“This is probably the most competitive tournament we will compete in this fall,” SWCC coach Doug North said. “Oliver improved by seven strokes from day one to day two as the team improved by six strokes, also.”

The Spartan women were led by sophomore Sydney Goltl’s tie for 23rd at 100-96 — 196. The team improved by more than 20 strokes from day one to day two, finishing in seventh place among eight teams at 464-435 — 899.

The Spartans next play in the Graceland Invitational, with the men playing on Thursday and the women on Saturday.

Southwestern hosts its own meet Sept. 22 at Crestmoor Golf Club, with more than 60 players expected.

Gilbert nips NV boys; Panther girls fifth at Ballard

By LARRY PETERSON Skip Tyler, led the Tigers 1A schools. The Wolverines points, led by medalists Bri- and we had two girls — seCNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

HUXLEY — Gilbert edged Nodaway Valley in a showdown of top-ranked boys teams and the Creston girls improved on last year’s performance by one place in taking fourth at the 37th Ballard Cross Country Invitational Monday night.

Gilbert, ranked No. 1 in Class 3A, scored 52 points to edge Class 1A top-ranked Nodaway Valley with 58 points.

Class B winner Rees Tyler, son of Creston native

in a time of 16:34. Nodaway Valley’s top finisher was Brycen Wallace, fifth in 17:22. Other Wolverine medal Wallace winners in the top 17 were Tyler Breheny, seventh in 17:25; Joshua Baudler, eighth in 17:27; and Skyler Rawlings, 17th in 18:08.

Nodaway Valley was the smallest school in the meet and one of only three Class

also would have finished runner-up in the Class A division to Class 3A second-ranked Dallas Center-Grimes, based on times.

Gilbert and Nodaway Valley boys topped Class 3A 12th-ranked Humboldt and Class 2A eighth-ranked Roland-Story. Taking sixth was Class 2A sixth-ranked Garner-Hayfield-Ventura.

Panthers improve Creston girls improved from a fifth-place finish a year ago to finish only behind three state-ranked teams on Monday. The Panthers were fourth with 124

elle Baker 11th in 21:45 and Braelyn Baker 15th in 22:07.

Morgan Buxton was 31st in 23:31.

Fifth-ranked Humboldt won the meet with 40 points.

Ninth-ranked North Polk was close behind with 45 points and No. 13-ranked Gilbert was third at 69.

“We didn’t run our best,” Creston coach Pat Schlapia said. “Last week we had some boys missing practice with illness, and now I think it may be passing over to the girls. Our lone senior with us tonight, Sophia Groumoutis, wasn’t feeling well

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

What was a slow start for the Southwestern Community College volleyball team Mondsay proved too much for the Spartans to dig out of in a four-set loss to the Grand View junior varsity team.

“I think we were just kind of going through the motions and we didn’t have the energy we had previously,” SWCC coach Aleesha Cleaver said.

“I think finally in the third set we came alive but overall we have to come ready. We weren’t ready tonight and it

was frustrating.”

Grand View jumped on top early, scoring the game’s first five points, before the Spartans responded. After cutting the Vikings’ lead to 10-8, Grand View turned the aggressor again with a fivepoint run.

Kelcie Shields worked in a block and some decent play around the net to help key another short spurt to pull SWCC back within four at 18-14.

However, the Spartans never mounted a run of any more than three consecutive points in losing the first set 25-20.

Set two was a back-and-

forth affair, where once again, neither team mounted any long service runs, but the Spartans lagged through it to another loss, this time 25-18.

“I thought communication overall was our biggest issue,” Cleaver said. “We weren’t talking and we weren’t in the right spot and we weren’t listening to our teammates.”

In between the second and the third sets, the Spartans converged at the bench for a more animated conversation, one seemingly led by Ashley Porter, who then helped fuel the fire for SWCC into the SWCCVB | 9A

CORYDON — Lenox had issues defensively to start Friday’s game at Wayne and did not recover in time in a 2616 loss that dropped the Tigers to 1-3 and 0-1 in 8-man District 6.

The Tigers did not find the success on the ground that they usually do, running for 217 yards and it wasn’t enough to overcome the early deficit.

“It was a tale of two halves. If you were at the game, you know exactly what I’m talking about,” Lenox coach Matt Malausky said. “We need to find a way to stop or at least limit big plays from the opposing offense, especially early in the game. We need to get back to the fundamentals of pursuit on defense, and not over playing

misdirection on running plays. Offensively, we need to quit shooting ourselves in the foot when we get into the red zone and we also need to work on keeping the momentum we have and not have negative plays that kill our drives.”

Colton Gordon and Aaron Schmitz’s rushing totals of 58 and 57 yards led the Tigers. Schmitz and Carter Still scored t h e lone touchdowns f o r Lenox in the loss.

D e - Gordon f e n sively, Schmitz’s 10.5 tackles led the Tigers. Kyler Christensen and Still both registered 8.5 tackles. Brenden Christensen recorded 7.5 tackles and two solo sacks.

Derek Venteicher recovered a fumble and Drew Venteicher intercepted a pass.

Panther freshmen suffer first loss; Harlan JV rolls to victory

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

HARLAN — The Creston/O-M freshmen suffered their first defeat as a class since seventh-grade when the Harlan Cyclones took a 34-20 victory Friday night.

Cael Kralik carried 10 times for 139 rushing yards for the Panthers, now 2-1.

Cole Strider completed 10 passes including touchdowns to Brace Baker and Kralik. Kralik also returned a kickoff for a touchdown.

Baker led the defense with 12 tackles.

“Tonight was a really close game for our freshman team,” said Creston/O-M coach Kevin Cooper. “We had a 14-12 lead at halftime. Harlan came out and scored a touchdown and a

two-point conversion in the third quarter to take the lead. We were right there with them late in the game, but we were unable to fight our way back to get the win.”

Rushing — Cael Kralik 10-139 Cole Strider 5-30, Kadon Bolton 1-(-2).

Passing — Cole Strider 10-18-4 for 129 yards, 1 TD. Receiving — Brance Baker 1-42, 1 TD; Kralik 4-39, 1 TD; Colby Burg 3-33; Bolton 1-12; Brodie Wallace 1-3.

Tackles — Baker 12, Kralik 6, Strider 5, Britain Miller 5, Andy Weis 4, Gavin Shawler 4, Tyson Stuart 3.

PAT — Kralik 2.

Sacks — Jackson Kinsella 1.

Fumble recovery — Andy Weis 1.

Kickoff return — Kralik 80-yard TD.

Junior varsity Harlan junior varsity defeated Creston/O-M Monday night, 50-14.

Cole Strider threw a touchdown pass to Matthew Borha for 83 yards. Also, Hayden Green blocked a punt late in the game and re-

covered it in the Harlan end zone for a touchdown.

Eli Hartman led the defense with 10 tackles. Brayton Chesnut had a pass interception.

“Tonight was a really tough night for our JV team,” said Kevin Cooper, who coaches the team along with Jon Thomson. “We really struggled to make plays in the first half and gain any momentum. Hopefully we can heal a little bit, and get a few kids back for our game next week.”

Rushing — Matthew Borha 9-38; Cole Strider 2-7; Garron Wurster 1-(-1).

Passing — Strider 4-10 for 93 yards, 1 TD. Receiving — Borha 2-86, 1TD; Luke Latham 1-5; Brayton Chesnut 1-2.

Tackles — Eli Hartman 10, Walker Patterson 6, Chesnut 6, Wurster 5.

Blocked punt — Hayden Green, 1TD. Interceptions — Brayton Chesnut 1.

CHARITON — East Union soared past the competition at the Chariton tournament over the weekend, winning five matches to take the title while dropping just two sets over the day Saturday.

Alissa Weinkoetz lashed down 25 kills over the tournament, Callie Gossman had 42 digs and Megan Mitchell assisted 59 times, including 17 times in the 2-1 win over Southeast Warren in the finals, which East Union won 25-21, 22-25, 15-6.

Jayden Welcher also served successfully on 61 of 62 serves during the tournament.

The only other squad to take a set from the Class 1A 14th-ranked Welcher Eagles was Davis County in a match East Union won 25-15, 19-25, 15-11.

UP NEXT — East Union (10-2), takes its ninematch win streak to Greenfield today (Tuesday) to face Nodaway Valley (4-10).

Diagonal 3, Orient-Macksburg 0 DIAGONAL — Three sets was all it took for Diagonal volleyball to grab a quick home win over Orient-Macksburg Thursday, by scores of 25-16, 25-22 and 25-11.

The Maroonettes took care of business by taking care of the easy stuff, going 59 of 68 on serves, with only two players missing more than one serve.

Katie Sobotka, Bailey Taylor and Cassie Lohmann combined to serve unsuccessfully on just two of 41 serves.

Lohmann contributed 14 assists to the Diagonal cause and three digs.

Sabokta had six digs to lead Diagonal.

Sabokta’s seven kills and Emily Newton’s five were tops for Diagonal in the win.

The Spartans roared into the third set on a 7-0 run, including a six-point service run from Porter.

“Ashley Porter is big for us. She’s a leader for sure,” Cleaver said, “That’s one of the big qualities she has.

She’s a fighter and she’s a winner. She comes from a winning program. It definitely shows and she knows how unacceptable it is to lose.”

Shields got going with her powerful right-handed swing, and put home several more points to give SWCC a 13-5 lead.

The Vikings scored five of the next six points to pull

within four points, but another four-point run late in the set helped SWCC to a 25-17 set-three win.

Southwestern jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the fourth set, but Grand View recovered, and benefited from Spartan errors.

What was a 12-12 fourth set swung quickly toward Grand View thanks to aggressive play. SWCC fell behind 1712, but several strong SWCC possessions, including several accurate taps into space by Kailey Miracky, brought the Spartans back into the thick of things.

“I thought she had a good game tonight,” Cleaver said.

“I felt, she had quiet kills. She does a great job.”

SWCC tied the match 2020 and took a 24-23 lead on a Grand View service error,

but a Jada Perkins service error tied the set 24-24.

Perkins smashed home four kills in the fourth set and was fed attack opportunities throughout the night.

“We just like to feed the hot hand and I felt like she was on fire tonight,” Cleaver said. “She was getting it done, so you keep feeding her until they stop her.”

Consecutive smashes off two Spartan wall players brought an end to the evening with a 26-24 win for Grand View.

UP NEXT — Southwestern (4-10, 1-1), plays host to NJCAA Division II 11thranked KKirkwood (10-5, 2-0) Wednesday at 7 p.m.

“We need a different team to show up Wednesday. Kirkwood is a tough program.”

were 32nd and 36th, respectively, in 23:32 and 23:54.

“We had some kids not feeling at their best, so it was good to see Morgan, Paige and Brittany step up for us,” Schlapia said.

Ali Christensen and Stephanie Davidson made bids for varsity spots by running 26:28 and 26:31, respectively, in the JV race.

“We have good competition and will probably have some fluctuation from meet to meet on varsity as a result,” Schlapia said.

Clayton Stafford nearly medaled for the Creston boys, taking 19th in 18:12.

The team was 12th with 326 points, but second runner Jared Moreland in 20:54 did not have his finish recorded as he stepped on the timer chip on his shoe, resulting in no recorded time.

“That probably cost us about 15 points, so

in looking at the scores we would have jumped Woodward-Granger for 11th,” Schlapia said. “It was Clayton Stafford’s birthday, so what better way to celebrate than to run a 5K in a mini-state meet at Ballard. There was not a weak link in the 24 schools there in two classes. There were 700 runners in the high school races and probably more than 1,000 when you count the middle school runners.”

Nodaway Valley girls placed 10th with 258 points, led by sophomore Mallory Kuhns in 27th in a time of 23:17.

2017 Adams County Speedway

G N I C RA Update

Increased purses bring out the best at ACS

By Trevor Maeder

Ramsey also came into the night looking to clinch the track championship a week in advance.

Ramsey managed to do both Saturday night, but it wasn’t easy. Tim McCollum led the early stages of the caution-plagued race, but Tom Myers took the lead with seven laps to go and appeared to be on his way to his first win of the year. But, Ramsey squashed those hopes taking the lead on the white flag lap to pick up his 10th win of the season, while also clinching the track championship. Myers came home in second, followed by Chris Bates, Steve Shepard and Tim McCollum.

Adams Co. Speeway

CORNING – Eightyone cars hit the dirt at the Adams County Speedway on Saturday night for Arnold Motor Supply Night with an increased purse presented by 1st Call Bail Bonds. The increased purse made it $200 to win Compacts, $350 to win B-Modifieds and Hobby Stocks, $400 to win Stock Cars, $500 to win Modifieds, and Blaine’s Services then stepped up and added $100 to both the Modified and Stock Car purse making them $600 and $500 to win, respectively.

Chat Mobility Hobby Stocks

Tri-State Ford Compacts

Luke Ramsey came into Saturday night with his sights set on picking up his 10th win of the season in the Chat Mobility H o b b y Ramsey Stocks.

Veteran driver Chris Vannausdle has been to victory lane before at the Adams County Speedway, but while his son Bryan has won in the Tri-State Ford Compacts, Chris had failed to do so prior to Saturday night.

Chris Vannausdle led the entire race, holding off

a hard charge from Curtis Miller before mechanical problems ended his night early. Chris Vannausdle then had to hold off a hard charge from last weeks’ winner Bobby Key. Key gave Chris Vannausdle all he had, but it wasn’t enough as Chris Vannausdle held on for his first win at ACS since winning the Hobby Stock feature at the 2009 tradition. Key came home in second, followed by points leader Dustin Thompson in third, Evan Hrabik in fourth and Luke Ramsey rounded out the top five.

Stalker Chevrolet B-Modifieds Jeremy Houck is no stranger to victory lane.

The former stock car champion and late model hot shoe is a newcomer to the Stalker Chevrolet B-Modifieds. But, his veteran experience showed on Saturday night, as he picked up his first win of the season in vintage Jeremy Houck style by riding the bottom side to victory.

Houck started up front and led the entire race

despite hard charges from both Josh Sink and Jerod Weston, who came into the night looking to clinch a track championship. A late-race caution made things interesting, but Houck hit his marks on the restart to collect the win.

Sink finished in second and Weston clinched the championship by finishing third. Shawn Kralik and Kody Havens rounded out the top five.

Northland Oil Stock Cars The Northland Oil Stock Car championship is bound to come down to the wire.

Joe Zadina came into the night with an eight-point lead over Tony Hardisty.

Meanwhile, Creston native Kevin Sharp had said earlier in the night that he was there to make money and not friends.

He defi- Sharp nitely made money, dominating en route to his second win

of the season.

Sharp wasted no time passing Cody Clark for the lead. Sharp dominated the feature to collect the $500 payday while the rest of the field put on an exciting battle. Tony Hardisty chipped into Zadina’s lead by finishing second. Jason Minnehan came home in third followed by Joe Zadina in fourth. Cody Clark rounded out the top five. This week’s championship battle is bound to be exciting as Zadina leads Zadina Hardisty by a mere eight points.

Poet Bio-Refining Modifieds The Poet Bio-Refining Modifieds always seem to put on an exciting show, but throw in a $600 payday and they put on an even better show, Prescott native Jesse Dennis, in particular.

Dennis had to battle with polesitter and points

The bank partnered with Info Dog Security of Spencer, Iowa, to complete all the shredding on-site that day.

First National Bank does plan to host this event again next year sometime in late summer or early fall.
