CNA associate editor khaugen@crestonnews.com

ORIENT – Extensive preparation and a five-year hankering for the title led to the moment Logan Kinyon had been waiting for.

The 22-year-old was crowned 2017 Miss Rodeo Iowa on Saturday, following the three-day pageant in Fort Madison.

“I became overwhelmed with emotion strictly because I have worked so hard for this, and it’s been a long-coming dream of mine,” said Logan of Orient. “I instantly felt tears running down my face, and I remember having this beaming smile and covering my mouth and thinking, ‘Is this really happening?’ They crowned me, and I got to do my first walk as Miss Rodeo Iowa, which was an amazing honor.”

Currently the “Lady in Waiting,” Logan will take over the title Jan. 1 from the 2016 Miss Rodeo Iowa, Shelby Chapman of Richland.

And, in December 2017, Logan will compete in the Miss Rodeo America pageant in Las Vegas.

Background Logan, the daughter of Jamie and Lori Kinyon, completed her Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture business in December 2015 from Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri.

She currently works as an equine feed sales representative at Right Turn Feeds in De Soto with hopes to someday obtain a master’s

degree in agriculture education to teach at the collegiate level.

“I have (ridden) horses since I was able to walk,” Logan said. “I competed in the Iowa High School Rodeo Association and also the American Quarter Horse Association for many years and have done several local rodeos and horse shows, as well.”

In rodeo, Logan has com-

peted in barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying, breakaway roping and cutting.

She fell in love with rodeo pageants around the time she was crowned 2012 Miss Rodeo Lenox.

“My friend Suzy Fife first got me into rodeo queen stuff. She is a former Miss Rodeo Iowa (2014),” Logan said. “But once I competed for the Lenox title and got a taste for it, it just became

Logan applied for the Miss Rodeo Iowa pageant in June. She was one of two applicants accepted, making her sole competitor Chelsey Anderson of Thurman.

“I prepared for a few months prior to the competition, doing such things as working with a couple of different coaches doing mock interviews; studying (topics) such as equine health; keeping up on current events, rodeo rules and happenings in the rodeo world; preparing a speech and practicing answering impromptu questions,” Logan said.

One of Logan’s coaches was Aurilla Goldsmith of Corning.

“We started working together three or four months ago and met every week,” Goldsmith said. “We would work on certain things every week, so maybe one week was impromptu questions, the next was speech. Toward the end, I got a few folks she didn’t know together and they would give her interviews to prepare her for the pageant and ask her all those hard questions.”

The pageant began Thursday, Sept. 8, and that day included a personal interview with questions about each contestant’s résumé, as well as current-event questions.

Then, the contestants rode in the Tri-State Rodeo in Fort Madison.

GRMC awaits new birthing beds

By BAILEY POOLMAN worn out.”

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Greater Regional Medical Center will soon house updated birthing equipment in the form of beds come November.

The birthing beds were approved by the Greater Regional Medical Center Board of Directors during the August meeting held at the hospital.

The four Stryker birthing beds will replace the four current beds that have been housed in the obstetrics birthing center at Greater Regional since before 2012.

“A birthing bed is a bed that mothers will labor, deliver and recover in,” said Jill John, Greater Regional birthing center nurse manager. “They have not been replaced for a long time, since before the tornado. And, just like with any hospital, they just wear out. These have

The beds, which are lighter than the current ones and therefore will be easier to move, cost between $16,000 and $17,000 each, but are specially made to accommodate women in the throes of labor.

“The important thing about them is that when mothers get ready to deliver, the end of the bed comes off,” John said. “The old ones were safe for patient care, but for optimal patient care, we wanted new beds ...

They were safe, but in the long run, they weren’t going to last a lot longer.”

The beds have been ordered and are scheduled to arrive sometime in November. The beds come with specially made sheets for both the main and removable parts of the bed. Other amenities include cushions within the bed that puff up BEDS | 12A

Obama creates first marine national monument in Atlantic WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Thursday established the first national marine monument in the Atlantic, a move that’s designed to permanently protect nearly 5,000 square miles of underwater canyons and mountains off the coast of New England.

The White House said the designation will lead to a ban on commercial fishing, mining and drilling, though a seven-year exception will

occur for the lobster and red crab industries. Also, recreational fishing will be allowed within the monument.

Thursday’s designation of the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument marks the 27th time Obama has acted to create or expand a national monument. As he prepares to complete his presidency, Obama has made frequent

Deaths William Recknor Urbandale

William Bryan Recknor, 93, of Urbandale passed away Sept. 8, 2016, at Iowa Methodist Medical Center.

Born in Creston on June 13, 1923, he was the only child of Earl and Hazel (Bryan) R e c knor.

While a boy, the f a m i l y Recknor moved to Deer River, Minnesota, where his father was commander of the CCC No. 707 camp.

After several years, they returned to Creston, where Bryan (aka Bill) worked in his grandfather’s grocery store, Recknor’s, and played trumpet in his high school band. After a year at Bemidji State Teachers College and some time at University of Nebraska-Lincoln and University of Iowa in pre-med, he was inducted into the Army in June 1943 by his father, who was executive officer at Camp Dodge. He joined the 26th Division of the Infantry and shipped to France. Some of his duties included being the camp bugler and carrying the BAR, due to his 6’3’’ build. During an encampment his feet froze, so he was sent to a hospital in England. After recovering he was sent to Linz, Austria, where he played trumpet in a dance band at a displaced person camp.

Upon returning to the States, he married Lois Ames of Afton, who he had met on a blind date before the war and corresponded

in which you ride your horse on a set pattern and you’re judged on that,� Logan said.

A three-minute speech was next in the pageant, and Logan’s was about the history of the cowboy hat.

She won the speech category.

The rest of Friday and part of Saturday included more interview questions, with Saturday’s questions focused on horsemanship. “Horsemanship is 25 percent of your score,� Logan said. “We’re awarded points throughout the competition by the three judges. The things that we were judged on were knowledge, appearance, personality, modeling, speech and horsemanship.�

use of the authorities granted under the Antiquities Act, much to the delight of environmental groups but to the consternation of some lawmakers and industry groups.

The White House said Obama will make the announcement at a Washington conference on protecting the health of the world’s oceans.

More than 20 countries represented at the conference will announce the creation of their own marine protected areas.

Supporters say roping off large swaths of ocean from human stresses can sustain important species and reduce the toll of climate change. But

with throughout the intervening years. He had hoped to attend veterinary college at Iowa State University, but there were no openings, so he instead obtained his degree in business administration from Drake University, and was a member of the first class of Theta Chi Fraternity there.

As an Army Reservist during the Korean War, he was sent to Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, where as a second lieutenant he commanded a battery. Once he and Lois returned to Iowa, he began a long, distinguished career starting as an administrative assistant and retiring as President of Blue Shield of Iowa.

Bryan is preceded in death by his wife Lois and elder daughter Ellen.

He is survived by his daughter Martha Johnson (husband Kevin), grandson Alex Peichl, and many nieces and nephews.

Interests over the years included woodworking, model railroading, World War II movies, jazz, animals, photography, cars and Drake basketball, especially the Maury John era. He owned a tenant-run farm in southwest Iowa for many years. He and Lois were members of Knox Presbyterian Church.

Bryan was a loyal, supportive husband and father.

He was a gentle giant, exhibiting patience and a sense of humor. Despite numerous medical challenges over the years, he lived much longer than the experts could have predicted, thus earning from one doctor the title of “Miracle Man.�

Memorial contributions may be directed to UnityPoint Health Foundation.

A memorial gathering will be scheduled at a later date.

The last event Saturday was to model three outfits.

Coronation immediately followed. “We were very excited and so proud of her. It was a dream come true that she followed through with,�

Lori said.

Logan said the most challenging part of the pageant was keeping her nerves in check. “I had a lot weighing on this competition, and I had set pretty high expectations for myself,� Logan said. “Miss Rodeo Iowa is the biggest rodeo queen title in Iowa that you can get, but I tried to keep myself calm and remind myself I was prepared for this.�

Throughout 2017, she will travel more than 30,000 miles throughout the state and country promoting the sport of professional rodeo, animal welfare, agriculture many in the fishing industry worry Obama’s actions will make it harder for them to earn a living. “We’ve been fishing out there for 35 years. It’s a big blow to us,� said Jon Williams, president of the Atlantic Red Crab Company in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

White House officials said the administration listened to industry’s concerns and pointed out that the monument is smaller than originally proposed and contains a transition period for companies like the one Williams runs.

Williams said his company will survive, but the changes designed to address some of his concerns don’t change his mind about the merits of the monument.

Today is Sept. 15, the 259th day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 107 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Sept. 12-18) in history:

10 years ago David Qualseth, 7, and 9-year old twins Jessi and Jamie Hellman made $100 selling lemonade during the citywide garage sales, but their goal wasn’t to buy candy or toys for themselves.

Instead, every dollar they earned was donated to help sick children at Children’s Hospital in Iowa City and the pediatric emergency room at Greater Regional Medical Center. Qualseth came up with the idea after watching a TV show on the children’s network featuring very sick children with cancer.

Only one hot air balloon graced the Creston skyline on Friday morning before the other 65 pilots arrived.

High winds grounded the balloons for all four flights and the Night Glow. However, the weather was cooperative for all other events at the airport and in the business district. It was the second time in three years weather prevented the balloons from flying, but only the third time since 1987.

20 years ago Donald and Mary Keeler gardened as a hobby. The garden, located across from their residence at 300 N. Vine St., drew many compliments and repeat viewers who dropped by periodically to see new additions.

The couple, with the help of their brother-in-law John Coleman, worked all sumand the Western lifestyle.

Logan will be honored in late February at a coronation celebration, which will include a meal, silent and live auctions and official crowning. “I also won a number of prizes, including a custom belt buckle, custom chaps and custom saddle, as well as other supplies,� Logan said. “And, I’ll be getting sponsors throughout my year to help (finance) my travel expenses and some supplies I’ll need throughout the year.�

To donate to Logan’s upcoming auction, call her national director at 712210-2777.

mer to put in the estimated 1,000 flowers and plants.

A sign in the garden read, “Our Garden, designed by us, colors by God.�

Southwestern Community College was planning a new degree program in agriculture business. Dr. Rich Byerly, SWCC president, said he had people asking for years why SWCC hadn’t done more in that area.

Classes in animal science and agriculture computer applications were offered in the fall.

All-state softball teams and players of the year were announced by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union. Creston’s state tournament team had two players make the team. Catcher Julie Richter was selected

the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. “It will be really exciting to see her along with the queens from all the other states compete in Las Vegas,� Lori said. “She has lots more studying and preparation to do during this next year, but I believe she’ll be up to the task and will do a great job in representing Iowa.�

The national competition will entail many of the same events as the state pageant. “You’re judged on your knowledge, appearance, personality, public-speaking abilities and horsemanship,� Logan said. “There’s 15 or 20 different events each contestant will go through throughout the week, so it’s pretty extensive.�

Part of Logan’s preparation will be attending the 2016 Miss Rodeo America

to Class 2A first team, and pitcher/first baseman Katie Turner was named to the fifth team. Mount Ayr pitcher T.J. Groves was selected to Class 1A second team as a utility player.

50 years ago About 2,000 people attended the fourth-annual Watermelon Festival at Lorimor, sponsored by the Lions Club, and about 6 1/2 tons of watermelon was served. Caroline Emerson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Emerson of Lorimor was crowned queen with runner-up Caroline Miller, and Marsha Paxton second, both of Lorimor. Entertainment during the festival included a tractor pull won

by Duane Lauer of Afton, with her family in December to watch the current Iowa titleholder compete. “I want to gain knowledge on how the pageant works and what to expect next year,� Logan said.

Starting now, she will study endlessly until the 2017 pageant to soak up all the rodeo-related information she can, Logan said. “I think she’ll do great,�

Goldsmith said. “She’s just starting her reign, so she’ll meet so many people and become even more prepared than she was for the state pageant. I think her character and willingness to work shines through.�

Before the pageant, Logan will also try her hand at riding various horses while working with trainers, and she will practice impromptu speaking and modeling.

Throughout the national competition, she will wear

Larry Gonseth of Murray, Robert Grandfield of Lorimor and Joe Waske of Thayer. In the talent show, Sandy Shiflett of Afton won the 13-and-over age group and Roxanne and Malory Howard of St. Charles won in the under-13 age group category. Parade winners were also announced.

A public auction was held Sept. 17 for the old hospital building and grounds located at 402 N. Oak St., in Creston by the Board of Hospital Trustees. Ed, Jim and Harvey Briles were the auctioneers. It sold for $4,750 to Creston Industries, Inc. for the purpose of becoming a girls’ dormitory for the new Southwestern Community College. nearly two dozen outfits. “I know I’m going to have a great year as Miss Rodeo Iowa, and Miss Rodeo America is ... how you wrap up everything you’ve learned. You get to show everyone how hard you’ve worked throughout the year,� Logan said. “I know I’ll be nervous going into it, but I also know I will have worked hard throughout my year. I will have gained a lot of knowledge and, I’m sure, become a new woman after all of my travels and experiences.�

Logan expects 30 to 40 women to compete at the national rodeo pageant. “So, it’s up to the three judges on how they feel about you over a week,�

Logan said. “If I don’t win, I’m not going to be that upset. I’m going to know I represented myself and my state well.�

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, September 15, 2016

How exercise has changed Recently, I’ve been running regularly in order to work my stamina up so I can complete the half marathon in Des Moines next month. This will be my first 13.1 miles in a long time, probably since last year, and already I’m feeling the strain.

My favorite path to train on is the running trail from the YMCA to Green Valley Lake, which I’ve calculated to be approximately five miles (I may be giving myself more credit than I deserve on this one). This path adds variety and peace I may not get elsewhere.

The hills are perfect to train on, while the scenery and lack of traffic and other runners and bik-

Girl on fire Bailey Poolman staff writer

ers makes the trail smooth sailing (sometimes).

This is a complete change in me from five years ago. Back then, I hated running. I hated exercise in general, until I went to college.

There, I did a few exercise classes for credit and realized it was enjoyable. From there, I starting branching out and taking Zumba at the YMCA in Centerville, as

well as utilizing a personal trainer.

Now, I’m running half marathons and trying to get as much lifting power in as possible, not to mention the physical stress I get doing trainings and house burns with the fire department (this last training, complete with full gear and air packs, nearly killed me).

In order to break that up, I’ve been taking advantage of what the Y has to offer. Now, I realize by saying this it sounds like I’m promoting the Y and nowhere else. Honestly, I think it all comes down to what you want to get out of your workouts.

Crossfit TYL worked for me for a

while, but now it’s not something I prefer doing and is meant for all those other Crossfitters. Hanson Fitness has a lot to offer, but I’ve never actually worked out there.

At the Y, there is a variety of classes for everyone. I get my cross training in by attending Jen Frakes’ 4:30 p.m. Zumba classes. She’s added a 6 p.m. class on those Mondays and Wednesdays as well for those who can’t attend the earlier one. Dana Dodge’s kickboxing class is also one of my favorites since she knows how to kick butt. Tuesday I volunteered to be her partner and got a double workout in (not one of my finer moments).

Then there’s a new class called X-Train, taught by new instructor Chris Clark. This class utilizes a lot of Dana’s workouts plus a little of his own design and a good chunk of stretchy yoga at the end.

These classes are at 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Y also has a great addition in Lauren, a new instructor there. She’s going to be great at what she helps the facility achieve.

These are just a few of the things I try to do to break up my running schedule, but in the end it’s just getting out there and being active to make yourself a healthier, happier you.

2016

Sept. 17-23 was proclaimed as Constitution Week when it was signed into public law No. 915 Aug. 2,1956, by President Dwight Eisenhower.

Earlier than that, Abraham Lincoln said, “Our safety and our liberty depends on the preservation of the Constitution of the United States as our forefathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the masters of congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”

Signed 229 years ago on Sept.

17, 1787, by 55 delegates to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, the Constitution of the Unit-

FAX

ed States of America has been a guide for our good. It has enabled us to prosper as a nation for many years. Many people do not even know that Constitution Week exists. We of the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) are trying to help explain what it is all about. Posters and displays are being placed in the towns of our area by the members for you to see. Mayors have signed proclamations, and there are articles in the newspapers and on the radio and TV. Check out these things and think about what the Constitution means to you. You are all invited to ring a bell at 3 p.m. Sept.

17 to join others in “Bells Across America.” Why not invite your friend in and make a party of it? While you are together, you might read the preamble and think about what it says: We the people of the United

States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

We must understand that the privileges we have come to expect also come with responsibilities. Our commitment should be to our government as well as to our fellow men and women. We need to teach our children to be respectable citizens and help them to get a good education.

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

Fly your flag on during Constitution Week and say the pledge as you raise it.

When your document must get there fast, use the Creston News Advertiser’s FAX service...we can FAX your document around the world in minutes!

Teen driving safety Dear Readers: School is now well underway, and you may have some TEENAGE DRIVERS in your family driving to school, after-school activities, part-time jobs and/or weekend parties. Take time to discuss driving safety with them.

Make sure your teen has had plenty of practice time behind the wheel, with you supervising. Don’t rely on driver’s education classes to teach everything.

There should be absolutely no cellphone activity, including shooting video, in the car.

Teens can wait to send a text or make a call, even to Mom or Dad. There are apps, some developed by the makers of the phone and some by the service providers, that can disable the phone when the car is in motion. Look into these.

More safety quickies: Don’t allow large groups of teens in the car. Demand they use seat belts and observe the speed limit (which can vary with driving conditions -- rain, wind, etc.), and limit driving after dark.

With experience, your teen will become a good and safe driver. -- Heloise SAFETY SWEEP Dear Heloise: We’ve had some thefts and robberies at my apartment complex, so a police officer came and gave a talk in the meeting room. I took notes, and here’s what he

Hints from Heloise recommended: * Unload the trunk of the car sideways, instead of facing the trunk. You always want to see some of your surroundings, instead of none. * Scan the parking lot thoroughly when walking to your apartment. Don’t be talking on your phone or texting when walking to your unit. Too distracting! * Carry the absolute minimum in your wallet. Don’t carry all your store credit cards, Social Security card, etc. Replacing all of that would be a time-consuming and frustrating mess. (You usually can show your ID at the department store to charge your credit account, if you are out shopping.) * The officer advised men to carry two wallets: one with $10 or $20, to be carried in the front pocket, and another with your ID, debit card and other cash, concealed on your body.

If approached, give the perp the wallet with the $20. * Finally, he said, be confident and smart. Don’t be scared.

Horoscope Friday, Sept. 16, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today’s Full Moon could trigger problems with co-workers, customers and clients. Just be patient, because this is only a 48-hour stress.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)The Full Moon today can make people emotional and reactionary. You might notice this in romantic relationships; you also will notice it when dealing with children. Just be patient.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It will be difficult to fulfill the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career and public reputation.

Today you cannot ignore home and family.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is an accident-prone day for your sign, because of the energy of the Full Moon.

Therefore, go slowly and think before you speak or act. Pay attention!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Disputes about money, possessions or loans might arise today because the Full Moon always brings things to a head.

Don’t be overreactive. Think positive.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place. That’s why relations with partners and close friends are testy and fragile. Be nice.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be extra-patient when dealing with others today, especially at work or on the job. Whenever there is a Full Moon, everyone is reactionary and more emotional than usual.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Don’t jump the gun when dealing with friends or a member of a group today. Wait to see what they want. Today is a Full Moon, and this can affect your relations with others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Despite the demands of home and family, you have to acknowledge the demands of your job or even your public image today. (The Full Moon will create conflicts here.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Pay attention to everything you say and do today, because this is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign, simply because of the Full Moon energy. The

Full Moon creates distractions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Quarrels about money and shared possessions might arise today because of the Full Moon. This is a poor day to discuss how to divide an inheritance.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Today the only Full Moon in your sign is taking place. This can make you more emotional than usual. Take a deep breath and chill out.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a balanced outlook. You are

realistic, logical and extremely creative. You love poetry and music, and you aim to succeed in life. You are very spirited and brave! This year you will be a student and a teacher. You will be excited as you start to see the fruits of your efforts for the past six years. Expect your well-earned rewards soon!

Area football: Unbeaten East Union looks to keep growing

By RYAN KRONBERG p r a c t i c e CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

East Union has come out of the gates strong, starting 3-0 overall and 1-0 in Eight-player District 6.

The Eagles aren’t letting the success go to their heads.

East Union is focusing on improving each week, taking care of the little details as it prepares for this week’s matchup at winless Mormon Trail.

“We want to stay humble and focused by thinking we’re 0-0,” said East Union co-coach James Hardy. “We still have a lot to prove to ourselves each week.”

The focus this week in

has been bettering themselves, a trend they want to continue the rest of Hardy the season.

“We will need a lot of good, solid practices each and every day throughout the weeks ahead,” Hardy said.

East Union has maximized opportunities both offensively and defensively in each of its wins.

“The team has learned it is important to be patient and yet be ready to take advantage of opportunities when

they present themselves,” Hardy said.

Mormon Trail is coming off an 18-0 loss to Bedford last week in a game shortened by inclement weather.

“They have pretty good size up front and a quarterback with some size that likes to run,” Hardy said.

“We certainly will need to work on executing our offense as well as our defense and special teams.”

Seeking to break even It could have been a week where Southwest Valley felt a bit discouraged.

In each of the past two games, the Timberwolves have been in the game well into the fourth quarter but ended up coming up short

in losses to Mount Ayr and Earlham.

Coach Anthony Donahoo’s squad is still keep- Donahoo ing its spirits up heading into Friday’s Homecoming game against Griswold.

“None of the kids are down,” Donahoo said. “We are still trusting the process and putting the work in each week.”

The Timberwolves know they’re close to where they want to be.

“If anything, it fuels our fire to know we are a touch-

down back of being where we think we belong,” Donahoo said. “There hasn’t been a point yet where I feel we’ve lost our focus or trusting the process.”

Griswold comes in off a 36-12 win over Riverside.

“We’ve got to play assignment football and attack gaps,” Donahoo said. “If we wait, they are going to attack us.”

Tigers continue to prowl Lenox found out it’s more than an option-based team in last week’s 50-14 win at Wayne.

Staying the course on the long road to Denison

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

A long road to Denison awaits the Creston/Orient-Macksburg Panthers Friday.

The Denison-Schleswig Monarchs (2-1, 1-0) comes into their matchup with the Panthers (3-0, 1-0), trying to take a third straight game and strengthen their cause within Class 3A District 7.

Creston/O-M head coach Brian Morrison’s Panthers on the other hand, try to stay the course and conduct business as usual.

The Panthers have not played 2005, when they defeated the Monarchs 13-7.

Comparison’s sake The best team to look at for comparison’s sake is certainly the Atlantic Trojans.

The Panthers need not look any further than the Monarch’s last contest in their 20-17 win at Atlantic last week. That win marked consecutive wins for a program on the heels of a 14game losing streak.

The Panthers defeated Atlantic 64-22 last year, a game in which the Panthers racked up nearly 600 yards of offense. Last week, the Monarchs didn’t dominate, but did win in exciting fashion.

The Monarchs surrendered a field goal to fall behind 17-14 in overtime.

Denison-Schleswig drove to the one in its possession.

Quarterback Evan Wiebers dropped the snap, but running back Jacob Irwin snatched up the fumble and sprinted into the end zone for the game-winning score.

That being said, the Monarchs are riding a bit of a

high, even though their statistics d o n ’ t jump off the paper.

A royal Morrison offense?

Denison-Schleswig will run a veer attack that features a number of players who will get the ball out of the backfield.

The Panthers won’t be able to key on any one Monarch in the run game.

“It hits quick, we have to be disciplined. We have got to make sure we understand who has the fullback, who has the quarterback in that scheme,” Morrison said.

“We can’t be confused with that, we have got to play fast.”

In the passing game, Creston/O-M will have to limit the damage done by big-play receiver Jack Farley.

“No. 4, (Farley) he’s a real explosive player for them,” Morrison said. “We’ve got to make sure we keep him in front of us, he’s definitely capable of making big plays.”

Wiebers, the Monarch quarterback, comes in having thrown four interceptions and seven touchdowns. Far-

“IT HITS QUICK. WE have to be disciplined. We have got to make sure we understand who has the fullback, who has the quarterback.”

Brian Morrison

Creston/O-M football coach

ley has four of those touchdowns. Farley has caught 17 of Wiebers’ 28 completed passes for 301 yards.

The focus will still be on correcting issues defensively that sprung up in the Harlan game.

This week at practice has featured great attention to detail in defensive assignments, alignment among the defensive line and backers, and making sure the scheme is understood even better than a week before.

“The ends have to be disciplined. The ends have to be in the right spot. That was part of the issue in the Harlan game,” Morrison said.

“The outside backers have to play hard and they have to line up right. If we don’t do that against Denison, we’ll be exposed again.”

“And I don’t expect that to happen.”

Monarch defense As far as what Denison-Schleswig brings on defense, Morrison said he expects to see a 3-3-stack from the Monarchs. While this defense is often employed against more spread out offenses, the stack allows the Monarchs to bring defenders from all over and apply pressure from a number of angles. Adjustments from the Monarch defense are likely to be made for much of the game.

“We’re going to see a lot of things as far as line movements and blitzes, so we’re going to have to make sure we pick those up and play clean football up front,” Morrison said.

What to else to look for Morrison says the team is excited about the opportunity to play on a new turf field

Creston seventh-grader Brayton Clausen grabs a game-winning touchdown catch with less than one second remaining on the clock to clinch a 14-10 victory over Pleasantville Tuesday. The Panthers surrendered an 8-2 lead on a 96-yard touchdown with a little over two minutes of gameplay to go. The Panthers proceeded to drive about 60 yards of the field before Clausen’s catch sent the Panthers into jubilation. Briley Hayes accounted for the other Panther touchdown in the win.

According to Todd Danner of the Denison Bulletin Review, several of the Monarch’s former starting linemen will be missing time, a fact that the Panthers will surely be looking to explore on the ground.

More than anything, like every week, Morrison looks for his non-starters to demonstrate that they are ready to step up and be counted on in big situations on Friday night. Mistakes

on the defensive side of the ball from non-starters were a problem in the Harlan game.

“They can’t continue to keep making the same mistakes over and over again if they expect to compete for a district championship. This is a huge stepping stone for these kids,” Morrison said.

Freshmen/Junior Varsity The freshmen are slated to play at 4:45 before the varsity game. The junior varsity game will be played Monday at Panther Field at 6 p.m. against Chariton.

option-based attack after using both well in the win.

“We can take away that we are a versatile team,” said Lenox coach Matt Malausky.

“We can run the Malausky ball and we can throw the ball. Our quarterback (Dawson Tullberg) is doing a pretty good job managing the offense.”

The Tigers have come a long way since their week one loss to second-ranked Fremont-Mills.

“They have taken the constructive criticism very well, and have done a decent job at trying to and improving weekly,” Malausky said. “They come to practice focused on the task at hand and they understand what we are trying to accomplish for the week.”

12 loss at East Union. The Mustangs were without star running back Jack Jones.

“One of their top players was hurt last week, so it’s tough to determine what we will see from them, “ Malausky said. “They like to line up in a bunch of different formations, and they also like to throw the ball. We will, once again, have our work cut out for us.”

Mustangs look to bounce back Murray learned plenty in last week’s loss at East Union.

T h e Mustangs hung with the undefeated Eagles into Fulton the fourth quarter.

Murray enters Friday’s Homecoming game against Lenox knowing it can play well against quality competition.

“The team gained a lot of experience last week,” said Murray coach Taylor Fulton.

“We played a great game and unfortunately came up short.

Playing close games against good competition will only make us better every week.”

The experienced Mustangs are looking forward to the challenges upcoming in Eight-player District 6 play.

“We hope to continue improving all year in every aspect of the game,” Fulton said. “The team has come a long way from the past few seasons. We have a lot of experienced guys who have worked hard in the system and have contributed to the success of the team.”

Lenox comes in off a 50-14 win at Wayne.

“Lenox is a well-coached team,” Fulton said. “We will need to be physical and aggressive all game in order to be successful.”

Raiders still have to learn Mount Ayr learned plenty about itself last week in a 2913 loss at Central Decatur.

The Raiders came to practice this week more focused and with more spirit in practice as it looks to bounce back Friday against Woodward Academy.

Monday’s film session taught the Raiders plenty.

“The film session was a

great resource for us on Monday,” said M o u n t Ayr coc o a c h Delwyn Showalter.

“It was al- Showalter ways easy to watch. It’s one thing to tell people what they’re doing, but when they see it in graphic detail it becomes a lot more obvious. We got a lot of good out of watching that film.”

The Raiders did not enter the Central Decatur game in the best mindset.

“We saw a very different week from last week to this week,” Showalter said. “Last week, we did not practice well. One of the things we talked about when we got back together was in athletics you usually get what you deserve. We didn’t deserve to win the way we practiced.

We hadn’t prepared ourselves to win.”

That has changed this week.

“We had a completely different demeanor, atti-

Creston Black 31, Clarke 0 Creston Red 18, Central Decatur 0 Ringold County Black 30, Creston White 12

tude in practice,” Showalter said. “We accomplished a lot more in practice. We’ve had a good week of practice. The intensity has gotten better.

We’ll have to see how much we got better, but it’s been a good week for us.”

Woodward Academy is coming off a 52-0 loss to Woodward-Granger.

Mount Ayr and Woodward Academy are meeting for the first time.

“They’re a bit of an unknown quantity,” Showalter said. “They’ve got some real good athletes. They do some things well. They’ve not been able to sustain some of their success, but in short bursts, they do nice thing.”

Even in tough loss, much to learn for NV The intensity with which St. Albert played with was an eye-opening experience for Nodaway Valley.

While there wasn’t a lot to take from a frustrating 65-6 loss to the Class A fourthranked Falcons, playing with passion and intensity is something the Wolverines can use going forward.

Coach Steve Shantz’s team will look to put those

lessons into practice when they travel to Oakland to face Riverside.

“If we take anything out of it is we have to match the intensity,” said Nodaway Valley coach Steve Shantz. “We have to match that intensity, fire and physicality.”

Injuries have opened up some playing time for younger Nodaway Valley players.

Shantz expects them to come in and make a difference Friday.

“They knew going into the Shantz season that they might be called on,” Shantz said. “We’ll try to rep them up this week. They’re going to make mistakes.

We hope they’re going full speed. They’ve done some good things.”

Riverside is coming off a 36-12 loss to Griswold.

“They’ll run the I formation. They come after you.

They can throw the ball,” Shantz said. “Defensively, they do some different things.”

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

So, Ryan Newman went there?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Ignore any earlier picks. Who do you like now entering the Chase?

GODSPEAK: I’m sticking with Martin Truex Jr. If his team stops tripping over itself, he is a championship lock.

KEN’S CALL: Throw out Watkins Glen and look at Kevin Harvick’s past 2 months.

There’s my money.

Of the non-Chasers, who’s most surprising?

GODSPEAK: Kasey Kahne jumps off the page. His blood pressure must have gone off the charts Saturday.

KEN’S CALL: Ryan Newman, because he’s in need of a new contract, which usually equates to better finishes.

Which nonwinning Chaser has the best chance?

GODSPEAK: Give me Chase Elliott. It will make for a great day for headline writers across the country.

KEN’S CALL: I’ll go with Austin Dillon, for no particular reason.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM RICHMOND

Newman responded to the incident by first calling Stewart bipolar with anger issues, then suggesting we can all see for ourselves if we would “Google ‘Tony Stewart,’ you’ll see all kinds of things he’s done. Look it up on YouTube.” If you do, be prepared for further links to an angry John McEnroe, a bunch of enraged hockey coaches and, my favorite, the Earl Weaver-Joe Brinkman classic.

Kasey Kahne has not been happy with his stock cars, and he let it be known by taking a verbal jab at Hendrick Motorsports. “We haven’t been anywhere close,” said Kahne, who was a bit happier at a third straight decent finish this past week. “So that was nice for me, have three cars in the last three weeks that we could actually go and battle.”

Did Newman leave it there?

No, he tiptoed up to the line no one in NASCAR has approached. Newman suggested that Stewart might’ve been thinking “he was in a sprint car again — didn’t want to control his anger.” That appears to be a reference to Stewart's role in the 2014 death of short-track racer Kevin Ward. All armchair psychologists have their own theories about that horrible event — Newman included, perhaps. Though heat-of-themoment comments aren’t always worth overscrutiny.

2. Squeak in Jamie McMurray rode into Richmond on the bubble and left with a Chase playoff position. If a nonwinning driver had taken the checkered flag, that would have booted McMurray. If he had crashed out, that could have been disastrous. “Not taking any risk,” he said on his race strategy.

It looks like the old grudge between Matt Kenseth and Brad Keselowski has sparked up again. “Kez” wrecked

news-journalonline. com/nascar

A recap, please …

1. Raising Kahne

3. Back on ONLINE EXTRAS

Yes, he did. And if anyone was ever “going there,” it was going to be someone as fearless as Newman and at a time when the emotion needle was pegged. When Tony Stewart wrecked Newman out of Richmond and ended Newman’s chances at a Chase berth, the time had finally come.

I’m sure he’ll send a tweet out.”

FEUD OF THE WEEK

3 THINGS TO WATCH 1. Chase this Chevrolet has the numbers going into Round 1 of the NASCAR Chase. There are eight Chevy drivers in the playoffs. Toyota has five, while Ford has three, including the improbable entry of Chris Buescher, who joins Chase Elliott as rookie drivers in the playoffs. The last rookie to make the Chase was Denny Hamlin in 2006. Buescher is one of five millennials (drivers in their 20s) to make the playoffs.

2. Sweet sixteen The 16-driver Chase format has a popular knockout feature, which was initiated in 2014. There are four playoff rounds. The first three rounds are each three races, and a race win sends a driver to the

The 16-driver field for the 2016 NASCAR Chase playoffs. This may be the last time you see some of these drivers smiling. GETTY IMAGES/ CHRIS GRAYTHEN

next round. The four drivers with the worst performances are eliminated after each of the first three rounds until there are only four drivers for the Championship Round at Homestead. The highest finishing driver at Homestead wins the championship.

3. Playoff tells Under this knockout format, there are few tells going into the playoffs. The winners of

the Richmond race the past two years (Brad Keselowski, 2014; Matt Kenseth, 2015) have failed to make the Championship Round. The same goes for the Daytona 500 winners, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Joey Logano, respectively. Kyle Busch missed 11 races but won the ’15 title. Maybe Tony Stewart is favored because he missed eight races.

Stewart

Newman

RYAN NEWMAN VS. TONY STEWART: Plenty of candidates, but this one rose to the top after Stewart’s actions not only wrecked both cars but ignited a little “Big One” late in the race.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: This was personal.

Stewart fired Newman from his team in 2013. “It’s just disappointing that you’ve got somebody old like that, that should be retired the way he drives,” Newman said.

Edlin has performed in more than 30 stage productions, including major roles in many well-known pieces

by Shakespeare and popular musicals such as “My Fair Lady,” “Annie” and “Oliver.” Edlin was born in Brighton, England, and studied at Oxford University, where he received a scholarship in history. He moved to the United States in 1990 and now lives with his wife ,Tena, in Fairfield.

Reviewers have praised the one-man show: “Andrew Edlin is spellbinding as Winston Churchill ... fascinating, hilarious and dramatic ... a truly remarkable play.” “The acting was so good within a minute I had forgotten it wasn’t the man himself.”

Hopeville cribbage tourney a success HOPEVILLE – A record 17 people competed in the Jim Overholtzer Memorial Cribbage Tournament held Sunday at the Hopeville Rural Music Reunion.

There was a tie for the winning trophy. The two winners won all five games of the tournament by playing other contestants. They decided to share the glory and the trophy. One was Joshua Shields, formerly of Grand River, who now is a landscape architect in Ames.

The other winner was John Klein, one of the founders of the Hopeville festival in 1979. He is a retired NRCS wetland biologist now living in Treynor.

While most of the contestants lived locally, many Des Moines card-players attended and one from Omaha, Nebraska.

Overholtzer was the retired postmaster in Grand River, and therefore, knew everyone and was very popular. He was also a master cribbage player and taught several of the local contestants how to play the game.

He eventually retired to Mount Ayr and set the bar with cribbage playing at the senior meals center. Now, every year, his family pro-

GREENFIELD – The renowned British statesman Winston Churchill comes to life through the acting talents of Andrew Edlin in his one-person performance Saturday, Oct. 1, at Warren Cultural Center in Greenfield.

“Churchill” opens as London’s Big Ben strikes 10.

The first of many projected historic images and a BBC broadcast set the scene as Sir Winston, 80, is pondering – cigar in one hand, brandy in the other – ‘to go or not to go’ as Prime Minister of Great Britain. Alone in his bunker, he reviews his life with iconic speeches, pithy commentary, funny stories and private revelations.

The 90-minute play is the opening show for the WCC’s 2016-17 Premier Performance Series, featuring topbill talent from around the country and state presented in the Norman Lear Theater.

Tickets for Churchill are now on sale at Ed & Eva’s store, 154 Public Square, in Greenfield; by phone at 641743-2566 or online at www. warrenculturalcenter.com.

or deflate to allow the patient more personalized comfort and a “scoocher,” which will allow the patient to move down toward the end of the bed during birth without having to be lifted.

The old beds will either be sold or donated to a thirdworld country in need of equipment.

OB Recently, Greater Regional’s obstetrics center has been making various improvements in equipment purchases, policy changes and procedure updates.

“We’re getting lots of equipment and updating it.

With Dr. (Toby) Marshall coming, our OB/GYN (obstetrics and gynecological specialist), he has suggested a lot of updates,” John said.

“One of those new things was the epidurals,” added LouAnn Snodgrass, GRMC executive director.

According to John and Snodgrass, the hospital is at an approximate 50 percent epidural rate for all patients.

John and Snodgrass also said the birthing numbers at Greater Regional have increased since this time in 2015. As of Sept. 6, the number of births in 2016 was 105. At this time in 2015, the number hadn’t broken 100.

“We’re 10 babies ahead. I

know that doesn’t seem like much, but I think it’s great,” John said. “I think people are wanting to stay home, and I think it’s because of the services that we’re offering so our numbers are up.”

In August, all four birthing rooms, as well as the two Cesarean-section rooms were utilized simultaneously, making the month the busiest for the birthing center. John expects October to be just as busy for Drs. Lonny Miller, MD, Kristin Bolinger, DO, and Toby Marshall, MD OB/ GYN, the delivering doctors.

“I just love working in the birthing center, and I cannot say enough about how the staff loves to do it,” John said. “They are very good to work with. They are extremely dedicated and very workable.”

While in labor and during delivery, a nurse only has one female patient to work with.

After delivery, a nurse only works with two female patients, something the staff at Greater Regional is proud of.

“Greater Regional has a history in the past several years of being state-of-the-art, both in delivery of care outcomes (making sure we have the appropriate equipment for patient safety) and making sure the patient experience is at the highest level possible,” Snodgrass said. “These beds will bring the increased safety right in line with our mission to deliver the highest-quality health care.”

5 more people allege abuse by priest, Iowa diocese says The man said he received a dismissive reply to that letter but that he met this year with the bishop. He asked that Murphy’s name be published along with the names of other priests accused of sexual abuse.

Arlt said the diocese’s review board is exploring the possibility of releasing the names of those priests who have been credibly accused.

SIOUX CITY (AP) — Five more people are alleging sexual abuse decades ago by a now-deceased priest, according to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sioux City.

The diocese also confirmed Wednesday that it has reached a settlement with the man who first came forward with allegations against the Rev. Peter Murphy, who served in several northwest Iowa parishes from the 1950s through the 1970s.

Spokeswoman Kristie Arlt told the Sioux City Journal Bishop Walker Nickless is reaching out to the people who have contacted the diocese since June, when the diocesan newspaper asked readers for information about sexual misconduct by Murphy.

The priest died in 1980.

Arlt declined to say how much the settlement with the man is costing the diocese.

“The bishop’s main goal, and our advisory board’s main goal, is to provide healing where we can,” Arlt said. “That’s the main purpose, to be sensitive to these victims and hopefully help them with their healing journey.”

Allegations originally surfaced in 1996 when the man, now 69, wrote to Blessed Sacrament Parish in Sioux City about sexual abuse by Murphy when he was a 12-year-old altar boy.
