Tethered balloon rides being offered at Balloon Days

CRESTON COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

Freeman rounds out election of CCSD school board Officials

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

The sensation of floating away from the ground in a hot air balloon will be available to spectators at this weekend’s Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days – weather permitting.

For the first time in the 40-year history of the event, tethered balloon rides will be available to the public.

Providing the rides will be Creston native Adam Boden, a 1999 Creston High School graduate who now lives in Indianola and works for National Ballooning Ltd, located in Patterson.

Rides will cost $20 per person, and Boden expects each ride to last an average of two to three minutes, though that time could vary depending on the number of people waiting in line for rides.

“It kind of depends on what kind of demand we’ve got for people wanting to do the rides,” Boden said. “We just have one balloon, so we want to get Boden as many people through.”

Just like the competition flights, the tethered balloon rides will be weather dependent.

Boden said ideal conditions for the tethered balloon rides would be winds of 7 mph or less.

His 77,000-cubic-feet National balloon, named “Pizazz,” will be tied to the ground and can carry two to three passengers at a time, depending on weight.

Pictured is Adam Boden’s 77,000-cubic-feet National balloon, “Pizazz.” Boden will be bringing “Pizazz” to this weekend’s Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days, offering tethered balloon rides, as long as the weather cooperates. Each ride will last about two or three minutes and will take riders about 50 to 75 feet in the air.

The balloon will float to about 50 or 75 feet above ground during each flight.

“They can expect to feel what it’s like to leave the ground in a balloon,” Boden said. “It’s kind of a different feeling in a balloon. A lot of people compare it to the ground leaving you instead of you

leaving the ground. It’s quite a neat experience.”

The tethered balloon rides will be set up at one of two different locations, depending on the weather.

The first location choice is on the south end of the airport, south of the tarmac.

The second location choice is on the north side near the

Voters took to the polls Tuesday needing to write in a candidate for the third seat on Creston Community School District’s Board of Directors – the overwhelming majority of those votes were cast for Terry Freeman.

Since only two candidates ran for re-election, a writein vote was used to determine who would hold the third seat.

Freeman, who decided to run just days earlier, garnered a majority of writein votes. The results of the 254 write-in votes for the election became official late Wednesday afternoon.

“I’m looking forward to learning the process like I’ve done with city council,” F r e e man said. “ T h e r e Freeman is always more with behind the scenes stuff.

“I am always excited about learning that. I think Creston has a great school system and I want us to keep moving in the right direction and to keep doing what we can to make sure we are giving the best opportunities for our kids.”

Freeman currently serves as an at-large representative on city council and initially

wasn’t sure if he would be able to hold that seat and a seat on the school board.

“I didn’t know if I would be able to, being on the council and all that fun stuff,” said Freeman. “I encouraged them to find another candidate to fill that role. In the meantime, I did some investigating and found out that I could hold that position while being on city council.”

Once he decided to run for the seat, Freeman sent out a blast announcement in hopes to draw as much support as possible.

Freeman was approached about two weeks prior to the election.

“I started getting a few messages and phone calls saying, ‘Hey it would be really awesome if you would run,’” said Freeman.

Other names were written in, but the Union County Auditor’s Office referred to those results as “scattered,” meaning nobody else tallied a significant number of votes compared to Freeman.

“You know it’s humbling when I got the phone call from Billie Jo Green, from the school board, she called me and told me I had been deemed the winner,” said Freeman.

Board members are elected to four-year terms.

Sharon Snodgrass and Galen Zumbach ran unopposed and were re-elected, now serving alongside Freeman.

Freeman expects to be sworn in on Monday as he replaces Tom Eagan.

a.m. Saturday and Sunday and 4:30 p.m. Saturday.

Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days Chairperson Roger Lanning said he hopes the tethered balloon rides enhance the experience for spectators.

“If they’ve got that fear of heights, this would be a way of doing it without getting too high,” Lanning said.

“The other thing is to see a balloon up close for an extended period of time, kind of see the Lanning beauty and the size.”

Lanning said it is possible that balloons could be flying in competition flights, but Boden’s balloon would be grounded, since his tethered balloon will require even less wind than the competition balloons.

Boden developed a passion for hot air balloons having grown up experiencing the Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days in Creston.

He also grew up visiting his grandparents in Indianola during the National Balloon Classic each August, which is where he eventually got his start in ballooning.

“Back then, balloon pilots used to have little pins of what their balloons looked like. Some people would collect them,” Boden said. “The pilots would stay at Simpson College. My cousin and I would ride our bikes around Simpson College and collect the balloon pins from pilots.”

p.m. Saturday, Sept. 16, at Armstrong Funeral Home, 205 W. Monroe St., in Mount Ayr. Open visitation will be from noon to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 15, at the funeral home.

Family will greet friends from 2 to 3 p.m. service time Saturday. Burial will be in Redding Cemetery.

One year, while riding around collecting pins, pilot Becky Tetrhen asked Boden and his cousin, Scott Armstrong, if they would help her dry out her damp balloon. That led to the cousins assisting Tetrhen the rest of the week.

“I went for a balloon ride at the age of 10 and, on that ride, I was hooked and knew it was going to be something I’d do someday,” Boden said. “My cousin and I, we both helped her every year after that. Eventually, she trained both of us.”

Both Boden and Armstrong are licensed pilots now, and Armstrong still competes in the Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days.

Boden hasn’t competed in Creston’s event for several years. Since he and his wife had a son, he hasn’t had as much time for pleasure or competition flying.

Instead, he has turned more toward commercial balloon flying.

“It’s always great to come back to your hometown,” Boden said. “I just hope this will add something more to the event. Hopefully it will give the crowd something to do while they’re out there at the airport. It also gives them the experience of a flight, too.”

Lanning hopes the tethered balloon rides can inspire the people of Creston.

“We really hope it’s another reason for people to come out to the airport, enjoy ballooning, enjoy the fall weather and get a sense of what it’s all about,” Lanning said.

“I’ve always hoped someone in Creston would get hooked on ballooning and buy a balloon, and maybe this would be a catalyst to that.”

Today is Sept. 14, the 257th day of the year. So, there are 108 days left in 2017. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Sept.

11-17) in history:

10 years ago St. John’s Catholic Church in Greenfield celebrated 100 years of faith.

The original building was built in 1907 and torn down in 1972 to make way for a new one that was dedicated the following year.

Fansteel/Wellman Dynamics agreed in a DNR consent order to pay a $10,000 penalty in regard to air-quality permitting violations. Although the plant had been working hard to address record keeping problems, they were disappointed the DNR chose to pursue enforcement action for record keeping violations, as there was no actual pollution violations.

Union County Landfill was poised to become a transfer station Oct. 1, which meant commercial and residential waste would be transported to the Metro Waste Authority of Des Moines landfill. They were required to install a transfer station building, complete with a hydraulic collection system comprised of three 53-cubic-yard bins positioned above transfer trucks.

Nearly 60 hot air balloon pilots took to the Creston skies with two successful flights over the weekend.

Pilot Deb Miller of Ottumwa and passenger Pat Nixon, sponsor from Maple Street Memories, took

a tumble due to unexpected winds and an electric fence. After hitting the fence during landing, Miller was thrown out and Nixon broke her wrist bracing for a hard landing.

20 years ago The third annual Union County 4-Hour Relay for Life held Sept. 14, 1997, at Creston High School raised $9,800 for American Cancer Society programs, exceeding the 1996 total by $3,700.

Crest Area Theatre presented a two-person play “The Diaries of Adam & Eve.” The play featured Cindy Fargo as Eve and Terry Allard as Adam and depicted the early days of their developing relationship.

A Bedford bank, State Savings Bank, planned to soon occupy the former

Hy-Vee building in Creston. Tad “Skip” Hammond, president and majority owner of both the bank and the building, said remodeling was progressing and the goal was to be open in October.

50 years ago SWCC President Robert Beecher reported there was a need for about 70 more students at the college to meet minimum operational needs. The budget was set up on a projected enrollment of around 540 students, and to date the enrollment stood at 475.

The new Lenox high school building, under construction, was proceeding rapidly and was expected to be occupied for the second semester of the school year. The new building was south of the athletic field and southeast of the depot.

Richard Buck, a Creston excavating contractor, and Frank Ide, a farmer north of Shannon City, were elected as the new members of the Creston Community Board of Education. Voting in the election was very heavy Monday, Sept. 11, 1967, with a total of 1,745 votes cast at a single polling place in the basement of the Union County Courthouse. it was the heaviest school election voting except on reorganization of the district years before.

The 1968 sports Chrysler 500 series offered the first time headlamps which were concealed behind movable doors that matched the grill. This car along with the new line of Chrysler and Plymouth vehicles went on sale Sept.14 at Martin Bros.

Garage, 206 N. Pine St., in Creston.

‘Drive 4 UR School’ planned Saturday Creston Activities Booster Club and Creston Automotive invites everyone Saturday, Sept.

16, to Creston Automotive, 410 W. Adams St., to take the wheel for the “Drive 4 UR School” event.

Creston Automotive will be offering free test drives to individuals 18 years of age and older.

For every valid test drive taken in a Ford vehicle at the registered one-day event, Ford will donate $20 up to $6,000 to Creston Activities Booster Club. The goal is to raise the maximum donation of $6,000 at every Drive 4 UR School event. This year’s funds will be used for high school auditorium improvements.

‘Drive 4 UR School’ starts after the Balloon Days parade until 4 p.m. in uptown Creston.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, September 14, 2017

It is time to get your flu shot The federal health folks are recommending that you get your flu shot right now. There has been a big outbreak of the flu over in Australia. Due to travel and other factors, it may land in the USA sometime soon.

Most, but not all, health care plans cover the shot. They run about $38 if you don’t have a health care insurer. It’s still a bargain, because if you get the flu it will cost you more for that doctors visit and medicine than the cost of the shot.

Plus, if the weather stays warm this winter we will all be more susceptible due to everybody getting around and about. And, if you have kids or work with the public, you always have a greater chance of catching the bug.

Cupcakes I see the Scratch Cupcake truck made an appearance in

us!

Speaking of debt

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher Creston on Tuesday. I would guess they sold out by the looks of the lines in front of the truck.

I went by the line a couple of times and it looked like about 90 percent of the people standing in line were female. I’m not sure how many the truck holds, but folks were carrying out cupcakes by the dozen. I read where the truck is booked up until 2019 and you can book it up till 2025 if you would like.

Lucky Penny I see Iowa State Savings Bank is hiding lucky pennies around the area starting Sept. 18 which are worth $25 if you find one.

publisher@crestonnews.com

It’s kind of the “find a penny and pick it up, all the day you’ll have good luck” theory!

Credit cards I read that credit card spending went up to $33 billion last quarter. Wallethub says we are now on track to surpass the $1 trillion mark in spending by the end of the year. The average household balance is almost $8,000. These figures are looking strangely close to the numbers that took place right before the last recession started. That’s not a good sign. Folks aren’t paying off their credit cards and it looks like it could come back to haunt

The national debt went over the $20 trillion mark this past Monday. That’s not a good thing!

If you made $40,000 per year it would take 25 million years to make a trillion dollars! If you lived to be 80, you would have to save $34 million every day to have a trillion dollars, which means you would have to save $680 million per day every day for 80 years to pay off the national debt. Wow! Interest on the debt is “only” $268 billion per year or $7,710 per year for every man, woman and child in the United States. If we were to pay off the debt, every person would have to come up with almost $62,000. Long story short is that we now spend almost $4 trillion as a nation each year and only bring in $3.3

trillion, so it is only going to get worse as time goes on unless, of course, we quit spending or tax everyone some more to make up the difference.

A lot of people don’t understand that all this debt will help keep the interest rate low for a long time due to the fact that for every 1 percentage point the rate goes up, you add another $160 billion onto the interest.

Also, the low interest rates are making many pension plans unstable. More plans are biting the bullet everyday. More plans are becoming under-funded every day. It will affect our economy in many ways coming up, and not in a good way. Economics lesson 101 has now ended!

Thought for the week: “There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.” – Bill Clinton

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Celebrate Constitution Week From Marjorie Kinkade Creston

Sept. 17-23 was proclaimed as Constitution Week when it was signed into Public Law No. 915 in 1956.

Earlier than that, Abraham Lincoln said, “Our safety, our liberty, depends upon the preservation of the Constitution of the United States of the United States of America, as our fathers made inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both the Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the constitution.“ Signed 230 years ago on Sept. 17, 1787, by 55 delegates to the Constitutional Congress in Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, this Constitution has been a true guide to our good. It has enabled us to prosper as a nation for many years. Recently however, it seems some people have tried to change what those founding fathers wanted for the nation. The men who

signed were well educated men of means, and many of them lost their lives and fortunes as a result of the signing.

Our Constitution is the oldest constitution still in active use in the world today and is the basic document of our republic. It is the cornerstone of our freedoms and was written to protect every American from the abuse of power by the government.

True, times have changed since the Constitution was written, but the basic facts of life have not. We need to be reminded what this country is all about. We must understand the privileges we have come to expect also come with responsibilities. Our commitment should be to our government as well as our fellow men and women. We need to train our children to be respectful citizens.

We must help in improving our communities and become better citizens ourselves.

Fly your flag during Constitution Week Sept. 17-23, and be thankful you live in America.

How to get everything back HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Hurricane Irma finished up her Florida run by turning into a tropical storm, then pummeling Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. The South got clobbered.

People’s only source of hope lay in the Bible, and in the belief that if you play a country music song backwards, you get everything back.

The White House ordered the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to the Florida peninsula following Hurricane Irma. It’s all part of the cycle of life down there. First comes the destruction, followed by emancipation, next comes reconstruction, then finally by the tearing down of the statues.

President Trump is scheduled to make a trip to Florida today to survey the hurricane damage and offer his support to those hardest hit. Trump already brought relief by announcing an emergency law. Floridians will be allowed to clean the ball and tee it up in the fairway until the courses dry out.

Apple announced it will roll out another new iPhone that has all the functions upgraded and improved from the previous nine iPhones. Constant improvement is a core company mission established by the founder. Every 12 months Apple re-buries Steve Jobs in a thinner, lighter casket.

Senator Ted Cruz of Texas explained one of his staffers must

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

have used his Twitter account to press Like on a porn video that featured two men having sex with a woman. Why, of course.

Either Ted Cruz likes to watch porn, or he thinks pushing the Like button will magically repeal Obamacare.

Steve Bannon explained on “60 Minutes” Sunday that he voluntarily left the White House to go into the world to be President Trump’s wing man.

That explains the process. After you’ve worked one month in the White House, Google automatically sends your resume to Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Wells Fargo Bank discovered another possible one million sham bank accounts set up to meet aggressive sales goals, adding to customer anger at banks.

My ATM just charged me $2 for a transaction, then told me to cover my PIN to avoid being robbed. That’s pretty ironic, if you ask me.

Dallas police reported a semi-trailer crashed head-on into a mobile crane that was en route to take down a statue of Robert E. Lee. It never ends.

We’ll know this anti-Confederacy movement has finally reached critical mass if they tear down the statue of Jubilation T.

Cornpone in Dogpatch.

The White House expressed confidence on Tuesday that China will sanction North Korea and maintain U.S. goodwill.

It’s important to our security to have good relations with China.

If we can manage to convince the Chinese that jihadist testicles are an aphrodisiac, they’ll be gone in 10 years.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are expecting a baby, but their choice of baby names may be limited in today’s angry climate. They named the first baby North. If they name this baby South, they’re afraid that protestors will demand that they take down the statue of Kanye on their front lawn.

Democrats and Republicans in Congress wrestled in committees Tuesday on ways to fix health care coverage and treatment. You can get plenty of good medical advice from friends. For instance, breathing into a paper sack to stop a panic attack works a lot better if there’s a bottle of wine in there.

Hillary’s book reminds me how in the 2016 election, Democrats nominated a Methodist Tory Goldwater Girl pretending to be a Democrat since her hippie days, and Republicans nominated a New York Democrat, pretending to be a Republican.

You’d think after $2 billion and 40 primaries that the Democrats and Republicans could at least have nominated a candidate from their own party.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise (our favorite columnist): OK, Heloise, you are the final word on this, and you will settle our ongoing disagreement!

EGGSHELLS down the garbage disposal, or into the trash? Buying everyone a latte is hinging on your answer! – The California Girls Oh my – this IS a debate!

There’s a latte riding on my answer. This problem is not all it’s cracked up to be, however.

Eggshells have a gooey membrane that can wrap itself around the blades of the disposal. Eggshells should go in the compost pile, and not in the garbage disposal. If you don’t compost, the trash is the best place for eggshells.

Want a quick way to freshen up that garbage disposal?

Put 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup vinegar down the drain. Wait 15 minutes for it to stop bubbling, then flush with cold water.

I’ve collected my favorite baking soda hints into a handy pamphlet. If you’d like to receive one, send a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope, along with $5, to:

Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Or you can order a copy online at www.

Heloise.com. By the way, potato peels are another thing that should not go in the disposal – when wet, they can be as hard as cement! – Heloise MEET AND GREET Dear Heloise: When our son was ready for kindergarten, I invited several moms with boys the same age for an afternoon to play and get acquainted.

They had a great time, and the fear of not knowing anyone was over!

To this day (even though they are 40-plus), they still are all good friends. – Marilynn M., Delphos, Ohio COLORCOORDINATED Dear Heloise: My daughter shared with me an idea for helping her children be organized.

She purchases a matching notebook and file for each school subject in a different color. At the end of class, each student can file the papers in the right-colored file before going to the next

SUDOKU

class.

At home, they don’t have to search through jumbled papers! – Ann Marie D., Bakersfield, Calif.

TOWELS HANG OUT Dear Heloise: I don’t like wet bath towels, washcloths, etc., left lying in the bathroom, nor do I like them stuffed in the laundry basket in the laundry room to mildew and get stinky before I can wash them. I keep two clippie hangers in each bathroom. When the user is finished, the towel is hung in the shower tub area to dry.

Then the towel can be put in the laundry basket. Most department stores will give you hangers with clips. – Carla N., via email EXTRA RINSE Dear Heloise: I use the extra rinse cycle on the washer, and therefore don’t need fabric softener or dryer sheets. My ironing time is cut down, too. – Yvonne L., Mansfield, Ohio You also can try also using less detergent. The less you put in, the less has to be rinsed out. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Panthers host cross country meet Tuesday n ‘Crowd

the course’ event set; seniors to be celebrated

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

Creston hosts its annual “Crowd the Course” day Tuesday as the Creston Cross Country Invitational Meet will be held at the Southwestern Community College campus.

Eight teams are entered in the Class A division, including the Panthers, with

another 14 teams participating in Class B. Medals are awarded to runners on the top three teams in each division, along with the top 25 individuals in varsity races and top 20 in the JV races.

Ribbons will be awarded to the top 25 finishers in the junior high competitions.

The middle school girls race begins at 4 p.m., followed by middle school boys, Creston senior parents night, Creston youth race, JV/varsity girls and JV/varsity boys.

In Class A, Glenwood is the defending boys team champion led by fourth-

place finisher Parson Covington, now a junior. Atlantic was second and returns third-place finisher Bradley Dennis, now a sophomore.

Glenwood’s girls won the Class A division a year ago as Aubrey McIntyre, now a sophomore, took third place in 21:55.5. Atlantic was second and returns its top four runners, including junior Ashley Wendt, who was fourth in 22:03.0.

Creston was fifth last year and returns individual winner Brielle Baker, a junior who ran 21:06.5 on the course in 2016.

State champion Nodaway

Valley won Class B boys last year with 15 points, taking six of the top seven places. Three seniors graduated Baker from that lineup, but the Wolverines have three state-ranked runners in this year’s lineup and is ranked No. 1 in Class 1A. Earlham won Class B girls last year in a battle with East Union. Earlham sophomore Eva Fisk is the

defending champion, having run 21:14.5 last year.

This year’s Class A division has three ranked girls teams in Class 3A No. 12 Glenwood, Class 3A No. 15 Winterset and Class 2A No. 9 Shenandoah/Essex. There are no ranked boys teams in Class A. Individually, Andrew Klein of Des Moines Lincoln is ranked 24th in Class 4A and in the girls race Atlantic freshman Taylor McCreedy is ranked 22nd in 3A.

Eagles’ net power on display in 3-0 sweep n Spartans

can’t keep up with ranked Kirkwood squad

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

Kirkwood’s ninth-ranked volleyball team overpowered Southwestern in a sweep here Wednesday, 2516, 25-15, 25-17.

Ady Wintermote, a 5-11 outside hitter from Jewell, totaled 17 kills and 11 digs for the Eagles, who improved to 11-5 overall and 3-0 in the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference.

Freshman Hannah Ryan of Davis, Illinois had a teamhigh seven kills along with 10 digs for Southwestern, which fell to 4-11 and 1-2 in the conference. Libero Ashley Kopplin of Rockford, Illinois had a busy night on

defense for the Spartans with 25 digs. Freshman Jada Perkins of Omaha had a good overall night with six kills and 12 digs.

The Spartans faced early deficits in both of the first two sets before fighting back into a competitive position.

Ryan served the point as SWCC closed the deficit to 191-4 in set one, but 5-11 middle blocker McKenzie Petersen of Clinton took command at the net for Kirkwood in the final points of the 25-16 set.

Haleigh Durnin’s fourpoint service string pushed the Eagles in front, 12-5, on the way to taking the second set by 10 points.

The best and the worst of Southwestern’s night occurred in the final set.

Kirkwood bolted to an 8-0 lead. Then the Spartans outscored the Eagles 9-8.

The teams pretty much traded points from that 16-9

Area football preview: Eagles host Baxter Bolts in home test

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

LENOX — With both Lenox and Murray coming off losses, both head into Friday’s game in Lenox with a chance to make a statement about themselves.

Murray’s young team has yet to be in a competitive game this season, and is coming off 60-0 loss to East Union.

The Mustangs have yet to score more than eight points in a game this season, and scoring more than once would send a message that the hyper-inexperienced Mustangs are taking a step in the right direction.

For the most part, the same eight players have played both sides of the ball.

“We’re just going to continue trying to improve upon ourselves. We’re working pretty hard on offense trying to put things in,” Murray coach Taylor Fulton said. “We’re going to continue the trend of being more aggressive, making plays at the line of scrimmage, rather than three yards down the field.”

Murray’s leading rusher and third-leading tackler, Devin Slaughter with 106 yards and 16 tackles, has been banged up and missed time in the East Union game, but is expected to play Friday.

Lenox has had its issues stopping opposing offenses early in games.

Last week, Wayne ran for 375 yards against the Tigers.

“We need to find a way to stop or at least limit big plays from the opposing offense, especially early in

the game,” Lenox coach Matt Malausky said in a statement after the Wayne game. “We need to get back to the fundamentals of pursuit on defense, and not over playing misdirection on running plays.”

Offensively, the Tigers will have to get back to running the ball as well as it did over the team’s first three games. Last week, the Tigers went over 200 yards on the ground, but didn’t finish drives and no Lenox player ran for as many as 60 yards.

“Lenox is consistent,” Fulton said. “Year in year out they put a group of tough very athletic kids in the football field.”

Baxter at East Union AFTON — East Union looks to take another step toward an undefeated regular season when it plays host to Baxter this Friday on Homecoming.

Baxter, in its first season since splitting from what was formerly known as Collin-Maxwell-Baxter, sits at 2-1 and is coming off a 62-40 win over English Valleys.

The Eagles, who have been receiving votes in the Associated Press state poll and are ranked number four in the Des Moines Registers’ poll for 8-player, are averaging 48 points a game and already have shut out two opponents.

Baxter’s passing game has been a strength through three weeks. Senior quarterback Braydon Aker is 39 of 67 passing for 662 yards and 12 touchdowns compared to three interceptions.

Aker’s main receiving targets will be Travis Lin-

demoen and Cole Damman.

The two have combined to haul in 11 touchdowns and 27 receptions, while Lindemoen is fourth in receiving yards in 8-player ball with 358 yards.

While the Bolts will look to go the air more frequently than the run, they do own nine rushing touchdowns.

The Eagles will look to use their methodical rushing attack, led by the powerful line, and Matthew Wittstock and Joshua Hardy in the backfield, who have combined for 479 rushing yards and eight touchdowns.

Southwest Valley at Griswold GRISWOLD — Southwest Valley is looking to avoid a week four letdown, entering its fourth game undefeated against 1-2 Griswold.

Griswold is on a high after defeating Riverside 7414 in both teams’ Class A District 7 opener.

Four players, Jadon Jahnke, Chance Mace, Spencer Muhlbauer and Heath Ogg, all ran for more than 100 yards in Griswold’s win last week. Jahnke leads Griswold with 425 rushing yards and five scores this season.

The Timberwolves are prone to scoring in lightning quick fashion, and should they maintain ball possession, points should come this Friday. Griswold has recovered six fumbles.

Southwest Valley will be looking to run afar of Muhlbauer, who has 42.5 tackles this season.

With a steady combination of passing, (301 yards

picking things up that we probably shouldn’t pick up.

It got a little energy going for us. But we can’t afford to get behind 8-0 to anybody, let alone one of the top teams in the country.”

McKenzie Petersen and Abbi Tuni combined for nine blocks for the Eagles, taking much of the punch out of the Southwestern SWCC | 8A

Panthers look for bounce back against Monarchs n Denison-Schleswig

travels to Creston with 2-1 record

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

Denison-Schleswig’s football team enters week four in a situation similar to which it faced at the same time a season ago.

A week four matchup last season presented Denison-Schleswig with a chance to move to 3-1. The Monarchs lost handily to Creston/Orient-Macksburg 42-7.

That game was on the heels of a thrilling victory over Atlantic.

Fast forward to this fall.

Denison-Schleswig is coming off a 31-28 victory over Atlantic to move to 2-1.

This time around, the aim is certainly not to fall in their next six games.

“Their schemes are tough. They were competitive last year against pretty good team,” Creston/Orient-Macksburg coach Brian Morrison said. “It’s going to be a battle…They’re healthy as far as I know and have good skill kids on offense.”

Whereas Creston/O-M entered week four against the Monarchs last season 3-0 with an average margin of victory of 30 points. In 2017?

The Panthers are 1-2.

Should the Panthers control possession, they should be able to punch the ball into the end zone.

Kylan Smallwood has been good about not throwing interceptions, but will go up against a Monarch defense that forced four turnovers last week. Three of those were Cesar Rodriguez interceptions.

Creston/O-M’s offense

only barely managed to get over 200 yards of total offense in last week’s loss at Harlan. Smallwood and Swank will be tasked with trying to more than double that total. With linemen Kendall Crawford, H a n k Looney and gaining valu- Crawford able experience each week, expectations for the line, led by Trevor Downing and Tucker Flynn, will continue to rise.

Coming off last week’s disappointing result, moving ahead in district play will be a welcome challenge.

“Our kids will respond.

I feel good about that part of it and we’ve had a good week of practice,” Morrison said.

The Panthers were looking to stop the athletic Evan Wiebers at quarterback last year. This season, they’ll try to stop Wiebers in the secondary and Drew Polzin at quarterback.

Wiebers had 10 receptions for 97 yards in last week’s win over the Trojans.

Denison-Schleswig will bring to Creston a triple-option attack that will utilize its bruising fullbacks, athletic backs and Wiebers on outside runs from his slot position.

“Not having breakdowns will be critical this week,” Morrison said. “We have to lineup, know our responsibilities and do the right things.”

Riverside at Nodaway Valley

GREENFIELD — Coming into Friday, Nodaway Valley will be on a mission.

The Wolverines’ lone victory in 2016 came against the team that they will line up across from in Greenfield Friday.

Nodaway Valley won that game in Oakland 28-13.

Through three games this year, the Wolverines have only scored 21 points, and are coming off a thumping by powerhouse St. Albert.

Losing two-way starter Tony Ayase hurts the Wolverines, but skill players Spencer Lamb, Cach Kennedy, Brady Hilpipre, will be looking to make something happen behind an offensive line that finally has some snaps under their belts.

NASCAR THIS WEEK SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves On the cusp of playoffs, who’s your favorite?

GODSPEAK: For some reason, I like Kyle Larson’s chances. I don’t think Larson will overthink this.

KEN’S CALL: Martin Truex Jr. has been the man all year, but that means nothing now. Mr. Hunch likes Kyle Busch.

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

RICHMOND

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

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED

What if tech inspectors determine the champ?

That has to be the worst-case scenario. And it’s a potential problem that will be extremely difficult to address, but addressed it must be. From the outside, it seems the answer is one of two extremes: Develop a system that takes away any mechanical leeway whatsoever, which would take away a key component of racing history; or write a few basic rules and safety mandates, then let the teams “do their thing.”

Who’ll be the first four eliminated?

GODSPEAK: Austin Dillon, Kasey Kahne, Ryan Blaney, Jamie McMurray KEN’S CALL: Kasey Kahne, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Austin Dillon ... and Jimmie Johnson!

Which non-winner has a chance?

Regulars to this page know we have an occasional mean streak that makes us pull for a driver to win the championship without winning a race. Three chances this year, and of the three you gotta like Matt Kenseth. Mild Matt needs some love from the racing gods, and since his ’03 championship was a catalyst for the advent of playoffs, it would be a fun development.

1. Junior apology

the regular-season title trophy. “I wish we could have got the trophy last weekend,” he said.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. apologized to his fans after failing to make the NASCAR playoffs. “We believe in ourselves and we should have been locked in before we got here, but it wasn’t a great season, performance-wise, but we’ve got 10 to go,” he said, later mentioning Talladega.

3. ‘Encumbered’ stings Joey Logano thought he made the playoffs on April 30 when he won at Richmond. His No. 22 Ford failed inspection and that victory was encumbered. He came up short at Richmond 2.

“That’s the end of our championship run, but it’s not the end of our season,” he said.

2. Champ clocked, crowned Martin Truex Jr. was on his way to victory at Richmond until a caution, just laps from the finish, jumbled the field. Truex wound up crashing after the restart. Aftewards, he was handed

FEUD OF THE WEEK MARTIN TRUEX JR. VS. DERRIKE COPE: Cope’s No. 15 Chevy tagged the wall, bringing out the final caution, which led to Truex losing the lead and crashing on the last lap.

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

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: I’ll let Truex explain: “Caution for a guy that shouldn't even be out there is kind of ridiculous,” he said. “I don't really know what to say.

It's unfortunate the way the race ended.”

THREE THINGS TO WATCH 1. Breakthrough run Kyle Larson not only scored his fourth victory of the 2017 season (fifth career), but it was his first at a track that’s not two miles long. His previous four wins were at Michigan and Las Vegas. “Just having a blast this season,” he said. “Hopefully we can go on into the playoffs and make it through some rounds and hopefully get to Homestead, if Irma doesn’t wash it away, and go for a championship.”

2. Playoff field

MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST No ambulance chasers here, just a couple of motor mouths ... at playoff time Tune in online at www.news-journalonline. com/daytonamotormouths

The playoff field was finalized at Richmond on Saturday night. A total of 16 drivers, including three who got in on points, will begin the championship battle at Chicagoland Speedway this week. Martin Truex Jr. starts the postseason with 53 playoff points, 20 more than second-place Larson. Truex will carry those 53 points through the first nine races of the 10-race playoff. Jamie McMurray is ranked 16th.

Kyle Larson celebrates his fourth win of the 2017 season after scoring his first win on a track of less than two miles long.

“Remember he does not have a ride for next year,” Burton said. “Imagine you worked at your job for 45 years, and somebody walks up to you and says, ‘Hey, you don’t have a job next year.’ Imagine how that makes you feel. He wants to prove to the world and himself he can do it.”

3. Kenseth’s last ride NBC announcer Jeff Burton, who was a race driver before turning microphone jockey, waxed poetic about Matt Kenseth’s situation.

KEN WILLIS’ TOP 10 NASCAR DRIVER RANKINGS

CLS1 10A

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, September 14, 2017

AREA VOLLEYBALL Murray 3, Melcher-Dallas 0 MURRAY — Murray’s volleyball team has started 3-0, and won convincingly once again at home, 3-0 over Melcher-Dallas Tuesday.

The Mustangs were hot from the start with wins of 25-10, 25-11 and 25-16.

Zoie Lecy and MacKenna Skroh had 10 and 6 kills respectively in the win.

Freshman Twila Barber has started the season without a hitch, and tallied 11 assists and four digs in the win.

Britta Callstrom’s seven digs led the Mustangs while Bre Klein and Becca Decker each had six.

“Still have to bear down on our serving. Not satisfied with 90 percent,” Murray coach Jerry Shields said.

“Our passing is starting to improve which is allowing us to have more hitters attacking. Got off to good starts in each of the three sets.”

UP NEXT — Murray (30, 3-0) hosts Diagonal (2-1) today (Thursday).

SW Valley 3, Lenox 0 LENOX — From the start of Tuesday’s match in Lenox, Southwest Valley was in control most of the way.

The Timberwolves won 25-17, 25-17, 24-26 and 2513.

Lexie Haer was all over the court for the Timberwolves, with 14 kills, eight digs, and was 18 of 18 on successful serves. The Tim-

berwolves were 90 of 98 on serves throughout the match.

Jentry Schafer and Abby Fleharty each had eight kills apiece. Alaina Currin and Delany Dalton had 24 combined digs.

Hailey Thomas tallied 36 assists.

“Lenox is a scrappy team and then hustle after the ball at all costs. We were rolling pretty well in sets one and two and had to fight to get back in the match in set three,” Southwest Valley coach Lindsay Wetzel said.

“We were attacking the ball the hardest in the third set, but were making unforced errors on our side of the net and not being smart with the ball. We need to continue to improve our block game. We are getting a lot of touches, but we aren’t pressing over the net to keep the ball on our opponents side.

We can also improve our defensive play off those touches.I am happy about the way the girls came back and took care of business in set four.”

The loss for Lenox was its ninth straight.

Hannah Davis and TJ Stoaks tallied six kills apiece. Stoaks’ 12 digs led the Tigers.

Brooke Miller has six digs, six assists and was 17 of 17 on serves.

UP NEXT — Lenox (1-9), hosts Earlham (8-7) today (Thursday). Southwest Valley (6-5) plays host to Martensdale-St. Marys today (Thursday).

MIDDLE SCHOOL VB Creston’s seventh-grade volleyball team won seven of 12 sets at home against Mount Ayr on Tuesday.

Creston’s team one had a strong serving performance to start as Jacy Kralik and Keely Coen combined to go 32 of 32 with five aces.

Doryn Paup’s four kills led the way for Creston as it won 18-21, 21-13 and 15-8.

“Girls played well for the first match of the year, gave the first set away but they fought back and played a complete set in two and three,” coach Teri Keeler said.

Team two won each of its three sets, defeating Mount Ayr 21-8, 23-21 and 15-2.

Caitlin Bruce was 24 of 24

on serves and Aleah Calvin was 13 of 14 with three aces.

Bruce was the leader on serves, going 7 for 7.

The Panthers’ team three won 15-8, 15-9 and 11-15.

Kenna Tomas went 3 of 3 passing and Sydnie Strong was 3 of 5.

Team four lost each of its three sets to Mount Ayr, 159, 15-8 and 17-15.

The serving leader was Mackenzi Martwick 5 of 7 with two aces.

The passing leader was Alysha Marquardt, who went 6 of 7.

“Girls played well despite not winning, they moved and reacted. Better serving will get those wins,” Keeler said.

and strengthen their future work. Based on reviews and scores, schools ultimately will receive awards in honor of their achievements in categories ranging from choreography, design, performance in a principal role and overall musical production. Any student or school at an outstanding level is recognized for their achievement. Multiple honorees may be named in each category as performances merit.

The year will culminate in a professionally produced Awards Showcase to be held on the Des Moines Civic Center stage Monday, June 4, 2018. The showcase will feature students performing highlights from this season’s productions.

In addition, student representatives from participating schools will work with a guest New York City-based music director and choreographer on special numbers to open and close the evening.

Tickets to the Iowa High School Musical Theater Awards Showcase will be available in April 2018.

Des Moines Performing Arts announces 67 schools will participate in this year’s Iowa High School Musical Awards. A statewide initiative starting in 2016, the Iowa High School Musical Theater Awards is a yearlong education program that celebrates the extraordinary achievements of young musical theater artists. The program has continued to grow by leaps and bounds since nine schools first participated during its inaugural year in 2012. “We were thrilled to grow the Iowa High School Musical Theater Awards to reach statewide last year,� said Eric Olmscheid, director of programming and education. “This year we are delighted to continue that growth with a record-setting 67 schools representing all four corners of Iowa.�

Creston Community High School is one of the participating schools and will perform “The Wedding Singer� Nov. 10-12.

Throughout the school year, panels of community adjudicators comprised of performing arts educators and professionals will attend and review each participating school’s production. Students and directors will receive valuable constructive feedback that can be used to grow
