Bentley’s helmet

Officials: Iowa’s budget won’t prompt special session

Kayla and Bentley Angelo pose for a photo before Iowa State’s season opener at Jack Trice Stadium against Northern Iowa on Sept. 2. Bentley recently began wearing his helmet to protect his head in the case of epileptic atonic seizures. Bentley was a guest of the Iowa State football team at the game, and received Cyclone decals for his helmet after his uncle, Iowa State equipment manager Logan Angelo, had the group of tight ends that he works with make a video for Bentley.

How one Creston family comes to understand pediatric epilepsy ■

AMES – Bentley Angelo tugged on the hand of his mother, Kayla, and pointed toward Cy, the Iowa State athletics mascot.

The big red bird had captured his attention minutes before, when he saw Cy taking pictures with fans and the families of football recruits on the field of Jack Trice Stadium before the

Cyclones’ season opener against Northern Iowa.

After Cy walked another direction several times, Bentley finally got the bird’s attention.

He walked up to Cy with his arms outstretched and gave him a big hug, and posed for a picture with his new favorite mascot.

His Iowa State decal on his soft helmet, reminiscent of the soft, spongy-like covering on some practice football helmets, was emblazoned on the side, a reminder of why he was in Ames.

Invitation Bentley, a shy but otherwise normal 3-year old, was on the field before the game at the invitation of

the football program.

His sister, Haylee, 7, sits on the grass hill to the northeast of the end zone with family.

Bentley’s uncle, Logan Angelo, a Creston native, is an equipment manager who works with ISU’s tight ends.

Logan asked several players if they would make a video for Bentley. In said video, the Cyclone tight ends greeted Bentley, and showed him the Cyclone decals they were sending for his helmet. They also asked him to come to the game, helmet and all.

It’s an important helmet that Bentley wears.

••• Bentley Angelo began suffering from atonic sei-

zures as a result of pediatric epilepsy in February, which was diagnosed in March.

Different from grand mal seizures, atonic seizures result in momentary and less severe loss in muscle control.

He may just all of a sudden fall over, unable to brace for impact.

While there are certain triggers for the seizures, atonic seizures are less likely than grand mal seizures to be sensed before they happen.

So when Bentley began sustaining some rough tumbles at daycare, Kayla wondered if her young little man was just uncoordinated for his age.

DES MOINES (AP) — A projected shortfall in Iowa’s roughly $7.2 billion budget has shrunk and will not require a special legislative session to fix, state officials announced Wednesday.

Budget experts who work under the administration of Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds presented documentation that shows the state budget that ended in June will have a shortfall of about $13 million once final figures are tallied.

That is much smaller than a roughly $100 million shortfall projected earlier this summer by a nonpartisan agency.

The announcement means Reynolds will not have to call lawmakers back to the state Capitol ahead of the session that starts in January. She has authority without legislative action to transfer up to $50 million in emergency funds to plug a budget shortfall.

Reynolds had said for weeks that her staff was waiting until the end of September, when final accounting would be tallied for the budget year, to assess whether a special session was needed. Budget officials said final adjustments on a range of incoming tax revenue shrunk the expected shortfall.

“We have been monitoring funds daily since the end of the fiscal year on June 30 and took a measured approach in dealing

with the state’s finances,” Reynolds said in a statement.

“We continue to c l o s e l y Reynolds monitor the current fiscal year’s balance sheet and do not believe action is needed at this time.”

The $13 million that Reynolds will end up transferring from emergency reserves will need to be paid back during the budget year that’s currently in effect, which could translate into additional funding cuts down the road. Iowa lawmakers already tapped reserve funds earlier this year to address a separate budget shortfall of about $131 million. In January, they cut more than $100 million from the same budget in part by reducing agency spending.

The nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency said data does show major revenue improvements in the final months of accounting.

“On June 30 things did not look so good for FY 2017,” said agency analyst Jeff Robinson, referencing the budget year that ended in June. “A rough calculation showed the revenue shortfall to be about $100 million.

However, as if a switch was thrown, the revenue steam began to improve right after June 30.”

Iowa Supreme Court hears woman’s $75 speeding ticket case DES MOINES (AP) — An Iowa woman who says she was wrongly ticketed by an automated traffic camera when she wasn’t speeding has accomplished the unusual feat of getting the state Supreme Court to consider her $75 small-claims case.

For Marla Leaf, 67, it’s not about money, but about constitutional rights. Her attorney, James Larew, argued Wednesday that the city of Cedar Rapids, where Leaf lives and was ticketed, is violating equal protection and

due process clauses of the Iowa Constitution in part because it delegates police power to Gatso USA — the private, for-profit company hired to run the equipment.

Leaf said she pursued the case all the way to the Iowa Supreme Court for a simple reason: She’s not guilty. Given her experience, she also questioned whether Cedar Rapids’ system is fair to motorists.

DEATHS Bruce Bangert Creston

Bruce G. Bangert, 63, of Creston, formerly of Pomeroy, passed away Thursday, Sept. 7, 2017, in Quincy, Illinois.

Bruce Bangert was born March 23, 1954, in Fort Dodge.

He was the son of Philip and Patricia Bangert (North) Bangert.

Bruce grew up on the family farm north of Pomeroy.

He attended Pomeroy Community School, graduating in 1972.

Bruce served in the United States Army and was a proud veteran.

On Dec. 20, 1986, Bruce was married to Mona Watkins. Both Bruce and Mona worked for Younglove Construction LLC, a

Some Democrats in the Republican-controlled Legislature still expressed skepticism at the figures. Des Moines Sen. Nate Boulton, w h o ’ s seeking the Democratic Party’s nomination for governor next year, said he Boulton wants to review the numbers to ensure there isn’t deferred billing at work. “It was surprising to see these numbers come out as healthy as they did at a very convenient time,� he said.

Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett, Reynolds’ challenger next year in the GOP gubernatorial primary, also said Corbett

ticket I didn’t do,� she asked after the hearing. “Why should others have to pay for tickets they didn’t do?�

Leaf’s case, which the Iowa Supreme Court combined with another case with similar arguments involving six vehicle owners, is unusual because small claims rarely make it to the state’s highest court. “It shows that what seems sometimes like the smallest case can actually involve really major issues,� said Drake University law professor Mark Kende.

Such cases are closely watched by other communities with automated traffic equipment, much of which is run by private companies. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says 142 communities in the United States use automated speed camera systems and 420 have automated red light cameras.

Leaf was driving her Ford Mustang home from an eye doctor’s appointment on Feb. 5, 2015, when the automated speed camera system on Interstate 380 in Cedar Rapids clocked her at 68 mph in a

Left to cherish his memory are his wife Mona; sons, Justin (Joni), Phillip (Katie), Shawn (Maria) and Shane (Victoria); mother Patricia Bangert; brother Michael (Julie); sister Phyllis (John); aunts, uncles, many beloved grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his father Philip Bangert and brother Brian Bangert.

Bruce donated his body to Life Legacy to aid in medical research and help future generations in cancer survivorship.

Bruce enjoyed fast cars, especially NASCAR, grilling out and spending time with his beloved grandchildren.

he wanted to see how the math added up. He suggested Reynolds call a special session anyway to address budgeting concerns. “It looked like a lot of smoke and mirrors as they’re trying to cover themselves from too much spending,� he said.

David Roederer, director for the management agency, said his office used the same budgeting principles in place for decades. He noted regular audits ensure accuracy.

Although a special session will be avoided, Democrats used Wednesday’s announcement to accuse GOP lawmakers of mishandling the budget, pointing to what they see as excessive corporate tax breaks. Republicans argue that Democrats agreed to many of the budget plans passed in recent years, and several of their spending proposals are unsustainable.

Reynolds was not present at the Capitol for the budget announcement. She was scheduled Wednesday to make multiple stops in southwest Iowa as part of an economy-themed tour.

55 mph zone. She recalls the roads were icy and she was driving so slowly that cars were passing her on both sides.

Leaf, who had never had a speeding ticket, insists she was traveling between 50 and 55.

Cases involving traffic cameras have been appealed before to federal and state courts on various constitutional grounds, but it’s unusual for the Iowa Supreme Court to take a case already considered once on appeal. The cases heard Wednesday were assigned to the Iowa Court of Appeals last year and in February the court ruled in favor of the city. Leaf and the other ticketed vehicle owners sought and were granted further review from the Supreme Court.

One of their arguments is based on the fact that semitrailers and government vehicles are not ticketed by the automated Cedar Rapids interstate cameras. Larew claims in court documents that it’s “clearly arbitrary and unreasonable.�

Patricia Kropf, an attorney for the city, contends that doesn’t matter. “Incremental problem solving or under inclusiveness does not make an ordinance unconstitutional,� she argued in court documents.

Today is Sept. 21, the 264th day of the year. So, there are 101 days left in 2017. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Sept.

18-24) in history:

10 years ago Creston schools weren’t looking forward to official count day. Superintendent Tim Hood told the school board to expect the drop in number of students to be down anywhere from 65 to 72. The impact was a drop of $5,333 per student.

Meghin Krambeck was crowned Creston Homecoming Queen with Chelsey Abell, Kayli Crittenden, Caitlyn Lesan and Candace Weeda as the other candidates.

Presidential candidate Barack Obama, D-IL, made a campaign stop in Creston where he addressed an audience of about 200 at the Creston Middle School.

20 years ago Creston City Council received a petition with 220 signatures asking for voters to elect the Gibson Library Board of Directors instead of mayoral appointments.

In the past, council members questioned the direction of the current library board, and wanted to be more involved particularly in regard to the renovation project. With an elected board, the city would not have any control.

Red Skelton died Sept.

17, 1997, in Rancho Mirage, California, at the age of 84.

He had been an entertainer for six decades with his bumbling, affable comic style. He began entrancing TV audiences in 1951.

“He had one episode where he went really stiff and fell and we rushed him to the ER,� Kayla Angelo said. “We were sent to Lincoln Children’s Hospital where they did lots of testing on him and that’s where they found it.�

Kayla worried like any parent would. The doctor in the emergency room at Greater Regional Medical Center had a worried look on her face when Bentley went in to be examined before being sent to Lincoln. “He was losing muscle control. It’s like a spike in brain waves all of the sudden,�

Kayla said. “He falls to the ground. It only lasts for about 20 seconds. He gets back up, acts a little disoriented like he doesn’t know that it happened and then goes back about his day. “He has no warning signs.

He can fall at any point, collapse into anything and hurt himself.�

But they know now. Putting a name to the condition puts Kayla and her family at ease to an extent, and it is possible Bentley can grow out of the the epilepsy.

Now, he’s seeing a specialist in Iowa City who works with children who have epilepsy, and has already been on a handful of medications; the current one is working better than those before. It

Creston Elementary students celebrated the 2007 “Surf’s Up� homecoming theme by wearing beach clothes and venturing outside with beach towels and books for the school’s Surf’s Up For Reading event.

Creston High School students were celebrating homecoming and queen candidates included Jessica Beving, Aimee Hilger, Casee Piel, Erica Driskell and Kim Smith.

50 years ago Franklin Kinkade of Creston won first place out of 44 entries in the industrial division at the Iowa Inventors Congress in Marshalltown. He entered a walking type production for the tile laying machine with which he had won the sweepstakes award at the Inventors congress held in Creston the year before.

Richard Gross was appointed as the new Union County sheriff to succeed George Stroman, who resigned. Gross had been deputy sheriff for almost two years. Gross and his wife and three sons moved is difficult to determine the correct dosage needed for a young and rapidly growing child. “Every time they upped his medication, he gets super irritable and even more ornery than this,� Kayla said after Bentley pulled out part of a retractable fence on the Jack Trice Stadium field surface.

He will get blood work done every month to see how his kidneys and liver are responding to medicine.

The Angelos are learning more and more about his condition and how to approach it.

Bentley’s grandmother had convlusing seizures as a teenager. So, the Angelos will have further genetic testing done on Bentley in the future.

Some triggers can set off Bentley’s seizures, as they are more prone to happen when he is tired, sick, or can sense stress.

Some of the questions that Kayla had after learning of Bentley’s diagnosis still linger. “Of course when they tell you, the words epilepsy come out of their mouth, you’re like ‘Oh my god, what about his future?’� Kayla said. “Is he going to be able to drive, is he going to be able to do all those other things?�

But having some piece of mind in the past few months has brought much more ease to the Angelos’ minds. “In epilepsy, there’s not a whole lot of answers,� Kayla

Semonzio’s Pizza Hut, 207 W. Montgomery St., was damaged by fire early Sept. 18, 1967. Fire Chief Raymond Shrimpton said the fire started in a deep fat fryer that had been left on. The Pizza Hut had been robbed two days before when burglars removed a grating and carried away the cash register. The amount of money taken may have been as much as $50, police said.

Plans for a new access road to the Hills-McCanna plant, in connection with the rebuilding of Highway 34, were discussed. The state highway commission planned to meet with city officials with suggestions for an access road parallel to the highway from the plant into Creston to avoid heavy industrial traffic en-

tering the new highway as much as possible.

A big pile of wood was ready for the big Beef Day barbecue. The pit was dug at the old blue grass yard on E. Howard Street. The 2,400 pounds of prime beef was to be placed on the bed of coals about midnight to cook overnight. Serving was to start 11 a.m. at the covered parking lot of the Iowa State Saving Bank.

Best not to have the little guy knocked over by an incoming football player, so they keep an eye out.

He has already made it obvious he doesn’t like being photographed, but he became content and wide-eyed

enough with his surroundings that some quick pictures with mom seemed OK with him.

After 30 minutes of hanging out with his mom and a lone reporter, Bentley is as animated as can be without saying much. He runs off repeatedly, curious as to what the friendly confines of the stadium hold.

Kayla issues a fake stern command at Bentley, who just looks back, laughing.

Bentley can be so carefree, thanks in part to his helmet.

Those who love him can rest a little easier.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, September 21, 2017

When are you ‘off the clock?’ In this digital era, perhaps never Where are the boundaries?

That’s the question at the crux of so many issues in the news recently.

When social media sprang onto the Internet landscape, it didn’t come with a set of rules. Schools, and employers, have been kind of working on policies on the fly, and the parameters seem to be shifting almost by the day.

For example, local kids learned the longstanding theory that a team’s conduct policy extends beyond the borders of school property, even if criminal action was not conducted. Whether the school also has authority to impose further sanctions raises another question among some, but I’ll defer to the legal system on that one.

More clear-cut is the policy regarding a couple of items in the Des Moines news Monday. Drake University President Marty Martin alerted staff and students Sunday that someone carved a swastika into a campus elevator and left a racist message outside an African-American student’s dorm room.

And, someone’s finger spelled out something on a dirty car in the Waukee High School parking lot that violated the school’s anti-discrimination policy.

Those are things that occurred on the property of those institutions, and there are clear policies noting penalties for such violations.

That takes me to the Jemele Hill situation last week at ESPN. Hill started her career as a sportswriter on the student newspaper at Michigan State and then the Detroit Free Press. Her columns were brash and sometimes controversial, and ESPN must have noted she was capable of moving the needle, so she started appearing on the Sunday morning opinion show, “The Sports Reporters.”

More recently, she was hired to host a “new-look” 6 p.m.

Straights shots Larry Peterson senior feature writer SportsCenter show with Michael Smith.

Hill rose to that position because of the strong personality she presents in a public forum. But, then, the genesis of some of those opinions got her in deep water at ESPN last week when she tweeted that President Donald Trump is a white supremacist during an exchange with someone while using her personal Twitter account.

ESPN issued a statement the next day, reprimanding her comments. That spilled over to White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders stating that Hill’s tweets were a “fireable offense.”

Hill ended up doing the next show, but also issued a public apology stating that she regretted that her personal beliefs had painted ESPN in an unfair light.

There is a his- Hill tory at ESPN for taking even more severe action. Baseball analyst Curt Schiling had reportedly been warned several times about inflammatory posts on Facebook or Twitter, and eventually lost his job. Linda Cohn had made a comment about ESPN’s politics, and “sat out” a short period from any air time shortly thereafter, although an official suspension was never announced.

So, the ultimate question is, when is a person “on the clock” and when do First Amendment rights and the ability to be your own person kick in? Does firing someone who voices their thoughts

lpeterson@crestonnews.com @larrypeterson

in an open forum set a precedent for tyranny among big employers?

It’s a slippery slope.

Some have told me you are “always representing” your team or your company, and I’ve come around to think society is moving in that direction. In ESPN’s case, it’s for business reasons.

There are more than 60 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump, and most of them don’t appreciate being lumped into the “racist” category. If Hill alienates half of the potential audience as her comments became well-circulated, then the corporation that has lost nearly 3 million subscribers in the last year sees further problems ahead.

Young people are discontinuing their cable subscriptions in favor of streaming options. ESPN can’t afford to lose much of its remaining base.

Hence, we are going down the road where employers presume to have some rights in controlling us

in our off hours. That’s what clear, written policies need to address.

At our company, it was understood that when I was a news reporter commonly covering appearances of candidates and elections, that it would be inappropriate to write opinions pertaining to any of those people or issues. It would erode credibility of fair coverage.

Now paid as an opinion columnist on this page, and a feature article writer, what I post in social media goes hand in hand with what I’m paid to do. There is no conflict of interest. (That’s somewhat clouded now by the “temporary” sports writing gig that started in June, because of staff shortages.)

In Hill’s case, she was raised by a single mother with addiction issues, coming up in the hard neighborhoods of Houston and Detroit. Her experience is nothing like mine. So, when she posted an opinion that laid some of blame for this environment of mean spiritedness, of hatred and divisiveness on the doorstep of the White House where she thought it belongs, I’m not about to claim she doesn’t have the right to hold that opinion.

When things occur in sports, such as the national anthem protests of athletes like Colin Kaepernick,

then sports and politics intersect and become fodder for shows like the one Hill and Smith host for a public audience.

The big thing, I think, is HOW you present the opinion. In Hill’s case, when you have millions of people watching your every move in such a public capacity, then maybe a more refined set of sentences could have presented her views without ESPN choking on its steak that night and scurrying to issue a public reprimand.

Does the company you’re considering hire and fire people based on personal social media use, or are they more lenient in deference to the First Amendment free speech rights? You need to know going in.

I know we have perused social media of job prospects, so a good time to clean out the timeline might be just before submitting the resume. Just saying.

Perhaps the existence of these sanctions is a good way to police the social media landscape from evolving into constant name-calling and mean-spirited chaos.

The level of civility is eroding in this country by the day, it seems.

So, anything that would cause one to pause and reflect before clicking “Post” might be a good thing.

A recent letter to the Creston News Advertiser suggests Creston citizens are not responsible.

Why? Because the majority of us voted in the latest presidential election for our current U.S. President. Also, in previous elections a majority of us voted for our current Iowa Senators. Our voting record was said to be the main contributing cause of the recent KKK incident.

Hogwash! I do not condone the incident either. Maybe, just maybe, the historical unjust actions of the KKK are not being taught strongly enough by our history teachers in our schools and by

the parents in our homes. I do not pretend to know the answer for better race relations. I do know dragging ugly politics into the fray is not the answer.

I also firmly believe those who have made the comments regarding “community values” do have the best interest of our community in their hearts and tongues. If the citizens of Creston are being irresponsible, I ask that writer to more specifically pinpoint a better reason than politics.

I really do not care for our president as a man, but he is our duly elected president and I will stand with and behind him and our Iowa Senators as I stood behind our previous president. It is time for those complaining about the election to hold their tongues and

cease jealous, childish and hateful demonstrations. Stand behind all of our elected officials!

Yes, we have our First Amendment right to voice our complaining opinion, but we also have a responsibility to help make this country a good and safe place to live and raise our families. We cannot do that when all we do is complain and promote disturbances. You will have another chance to vote in your choice of legislators and president in the next one to three years. Until then, please sit down.

I would venture if the Democrats had put up a viable candidate, then Trump would not have been elected. Yes sir, Hillary was your pet skunk, so quit complaining about the smell.

HOME

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, September 21, 2017

Real Estate Report 82% of homes’ garages are under-utilized, abused and ignored. People can’t find room to park in the garage. Making it usable can increase your home’s value. Get rid of things you don’t need. Sort what’s left into piles to see how much of each type of storage you need.

You may want a bin/drawer unit if there are a lot of small items.

Do you want to see things on shelves or hide them? Do you need a workbench or counter?

Make zones for lawn/garden equipment, toys, bulky supplies, etc. You could hang bikes and the Christmas tree from the ceiling. Put in a loft/stairs if it will structurally support it. Add insulation and finish the walls or paint if it’s in your budget.

Burglaries peak in summer: Is your home secure?

(BPT) – Long days, moonlit nights and endless opportunities for adventure are probably causing you to daydream about travel. Whether you’re planning a day trip or a month-long extravaganza, summer is full of opportunity for you. But what about your empty house while you’re away?

Unfortunately summer months are also peak periods for home burglaries.

Seasonal patterns exist in household burglary rates, according the U.S. Department of Justice, with these crimes happening more frequently in the summer than during other seasons of the year because people are traveling more and are away from their homes.

Planning your next weekend at the cabin doesn’t have to involve worry about a break-in back home. Give yourself

peace of mind no matter where you are by taking a few proactive steps to protect your home today.

Step 1: A smart home is a secure home Law enforcement agencies agree that one of the best ways to protect a home is with a security system. Something as simple as a sign noting an alarm system is onsite can be enough to deter a potential theft. Closing and locking all doors (including dead bolts) and then setting an alarm dramatically decreases burglary odds.

Smart home technology is creating greater innovation in home security, with systems like Iris by Lowe’s allowing homeowners to create a do-ityourself, tailored system that’s not only convenient but effective security.

This affordable system features more than 100

compatible devices that include security cameras, motion sensors, smart locks, adjustable light bulbs, connected thermostats, smoke alarms and more.

For an even more secure home, Iris now offers professional home monitoring for less than $15 a month. The service gives homeowners the ability to have emergency responders dispatched to their homes in the event of a security, smoke, carbon monoxide or panic alarm, with no long-term contract required. Whether you’re at work or across the country, you can rest easy knowing someone will respond quickly to any home emergency.

Step 2: Avoid signs that show your home is vacant An empty home is an easy target for break-ins.

It can be pretty obvious when homeowners are

away, especially if they’ve been gone for a while. But with a mix of simple steps and effective technology, you can give your house a “lived-in” feel, even when you’re miles away.

Stop your mail and newspaper delivery when traveling, or ask a neighbor to gather these items for you so they don’t accumulate on your property.

Have someone come and tidy your yard and water plants so everything appears tended to. Use your Iris smart home system to set lights to turn on and off throughout the day. You may even ask a neighbor to periodically park in your driveway to give the impression people are coming and going.

Keep in mind social media has become a rich resource for criminals. Keep profile settings to private and never post photos or other messages on so-

cial media about your vacation while still away.

Travel posts are like news alerts that your home is empty. It’s best to wait until you return before sharing those precious images with friends and family.

Step 3: Rid your property of hiding spots and easy points of entry Homes with lots of overgrowth and natural coverage provide hiding spots that make break-ins simpler. That means now is the time to trim bushes, hedges and trees, especially around entrance points in the home.

Next, look for vulnerable areas of your house.

For example, the garage door may be easier to open than you think. Consider using a C-clamp on garage doors while gone or integrating a smart garage controller so you can keep tabs on whether it’s opened or closed from

your smartphone.

Windows are another common way for burglars to enter a home. Hot summer months often mean cracked windows, so double check all are closed and locked. With a smart home system like Iris, you can even check on this remotely and get notified if a window is opened or broken. If you have a window air conditioning unit, you may want to install window frame locks to prevent a criminal from pushing out the unit and entering the home.

Summer should be a time of relaxation instead of worry. These three steps can help you be smart about securing your home so you can actually enjoy that vacation.

7 fast, effective garage door safety tips

(BPT) – You probably put little thought into your garage door. You touch a button. The door opens, closes and you go about your day.

While the garage door the largest, heaviest moving

object in your home - serves as the primary entry point of the home to many of us, it can also be dangerous if not used and maintained properly.

June is Garage Door Safe-

ty Month and it’s a great time for all homeowners to review important safety tips.

Many of these are highlighted in a new safety video at GarageDoorCare.com, a non-commercial website

dedicated to helping homeowners understand how garage doors work. The video is available in both English and Spanish.

Here are a few tips to help keep your family safe:

1. Always keep hands and fingers away from moving parts. Never touch a garage door or its components while the door is in motion.

2. Remotes and openers aren’t toys; however, the buttons may be very attractive to children. Take precautions to keep them out of little ones’ reach.

3. Children should not be able to reach wall-mounted controls. Be sure to install push-button wall controls at least 5 feet off the ground.

4. Children and adults should never stand, run or play under a garage door.

When a garage door is moving, be sure to stand at least several yards away.

5. Never try to enter or exit the garage by racing under a moving garage door.

6. When opening or closing the garage door, always keep the door in view until the door is fully opened or fully closed. Make certain that no adults, children or animals try to enter or exit while the door is moving.

7. Homeowners can - and should - perform simple chores such as semi-annual

lubrication of garage door hinges, rollers and springs.

Other tasks like spring repair/replacement, track and roller repair/replacement and door installation are best left to trained service professionals to ensure the work is done properly and to avoid potential injuries.

Visit GarageDoorCare. com and click on the Find a Qualified Professional tab to locate a qualified professional nearby. The International Door Association, a worldwide association of leading garage door and access professionals, sponsors GarageDoorCare.com.

IDA members are committed to operating businesses under the IDA Code of Business Conduct, a commitment to professionalism and safety that helps homeowners avoid unscrupulous firms that impose unneeded parts and repairs that result in inflated bills. Find a professional before you need one - then if you need help with your garage door, you’ll know the service work will be completed properly at a fair price.

Chiefs’ Kareem Hunt has clear request: ‘Stop sleeping on me’ KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The Kansas City Chiefs thought enough of Kareem Hunt that they traded up to grab the record-setting running back from Toledo late in the third round of April’s draft.

They evidently didn’t think enough of him to select him any earlier.

Then again, neither did any other team.

So when Hunt raced to the end zone for yet another touchdown Sunday, his second against the Eagles and fifth in his first two games, he set the football on the turf, went down in the fetal position and well, he took a pretend snooze. The message came across clear: “Stop sleeping on me!”

The league is wide awake now.

In a season that’s already become known for an exceptional crop of rookie running backs, from Dalvin Cook to Leonard Fournette, it’s been the unassuming Hunt that has stolen the show.

He leads the league in rushing, has the most yards receiving by any running back, and Hunt’s 355 yards from scrimmage through his first two games are the most since Marshall Faulk had 360 in 1994.

The five TDs scored against New England and Philadelphia are the most by a rookie in two games since Dutch Sternaman scored six for the 1920 Decatur Staleys, the franchise now known as the Chicago Bears.

“He’s a load,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, “and you know, he’s talented and he’s a smart kid, which helps in that position. Because that’s a tough one. You have a lot of things that you have to learn as a rookie coming in.”

Creston/O-M faces a critical road test against Atlantic

By CARTER ECKL CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

ATLANTIC — After dropping two consecutive games the Creston/O-M Panthers (1-3, 0-2) are in need of a big road win against district foe Atlantic (2-2, 0-2).

The Panthers offense has struggled to put points on the board, netting a total of just 21 points over the last two games.

After opponents have repeatedly stacked the box against the Panthers, head coach Brian Morrison knows the offensive line will again be the key to establishing drives.

“We still gotta make sure we can throw the football

to get those guys out of the box,” said Morrison. “But in the same sense, if I was playing us, I would stack the box and take my chances. We just gotta make sure we are doing a good job of blocking our guys up front.”

Panther quarterback Kylan Smallwood has been banged up so far this season – most recently with a rib injury – but Morrison expects him to start come Friday.

After posting nearly 300 yards rushing on the ground in the first two performances of the season, Creston/O-M will look to get Mitchel Swank involved again. Swank has only carried for just over 100 yards in the last two contests combined.

Atlantic runs a veer-

scheme on offense similar to what the Panthers saw against Denison-Schleswig last week.

Morrison noted the Trojans will mix and m a t c h staggered looks on offense with heavy tight end sets, two- Swank back looks and empty backfield formations.

The Panthers should expect to see a heavy dose of hard dives out of Atlantic’s backfield coupled with an explosive-at-times passing attack.

Trojan quarterback Jaxson Eden has thrown for

over 600 yards and five touchdowns on the year so far. However, he has thrown six interceptions.

Creston/O-M had some help studying formations thanks to Atlantic’s opponent last week, Winterset.

“Winterset runs a very similar defense that we run so we took a lot of the game info and techniques of what (Atlantic) did against Winterset and assuming they’ll do that against us with the 3-man front,” said Morrison.

The defensive edges will be tested against the heavy tight end formations and linebacker play will be a big part of shutting down the Trojan offense.

Defensively, the Panthers will have to shuffle the deck

at linebacker once again.

Rylan Luther and Dustin Merritt will get the start at outside linebacker. Dalten Bierle has been ruled out according to Morrison due to Merritt injury. Inside linebacker will be manned by Kolby Tomas and freshman Garon Wurster.

Linebacker Dale Boyer is no longer on the team, per coach Morrison.

Area football preview: Lenox-East Union highlights big week of district matchups

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

CORNING — The Southwest Valley defense looks to stay in control in Friday’s homecoming game against Martensdale-St. Marys.

The Timberwolves are allowing just 5.25 points per game, and have two shutouts to their name, including last week’s 48-0 win at Griswold.

The Blue Devils enter Friday’s contest at 1-3 and coming off a 63-0 loss to Earlham, who Southwest Valley defeated 38-15 two weeks ago.

The Timberwolves won last year’s meeting 55-12.

Despite being shutout in back-to-back weeks, the Blue Devils do have athletic talent. That includes running back Steven Linn, who leads his team with 379 yards on 73 carries.

Creating havoc in the backfield could make the Southwest Valley defensive line a large factor Friday. The Timberwolves have totaled 23 solo tackles for loss and 15.5 assisted tackles for loss, to go with eight sacks, all tops in Class A District 7.

Quarterback Chandler Craig is 19 of 37 passing for 277 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions. His primary targets will be Kolton Fish (six receptions for 139 yards and three touchdowns) and Garrison Haupts (six receptions for 66 yards).

“When you throw film on, they’re pretty talented and they spread the ball out,” Southwest Valley coach Anthony Donahoo said.

Defensively, Haupts leads the Blue Devils with 37 tackles.

Southwest Valley will employ its triple-option in an attempt to improve upon its 35.5 points per game.

“We pretty much understood that we’re a triple option team and we do like to pass the ball a little bit,” Donahoo said. “We might only run three plays but the option looks a little different each time.”

Mount Ayr at Pella Christian PELLA — Mount Ayr, coming off a 48-32 win over Woodward Academy, has a daunting opponent places before it this week, and on the road at that.

Third-ranked Pella Christian sits at 4-0 and is coming off a 45-10 win over Interstate 35.

The Raiders, who lost last year’s matchup with the Eagles 62-14, face an uphill task as they try to get back above .500, sitting at 2-2 and 1-2 in Class 1A District 5.

The game featured the district’s top rushing squads, as Mount Ayr enters the game with 1,269 rushing yards this game, while Pella Christian has 1,094 and 17 rushing touchdowns.

The Eagles can cause chaos at the line of scrimmage, boasting 34 solo tackles for loss.

Noah Treimer leads the Eagles with 583 yards rushing on 9.4 yards per carry and has eight rushing touchdowns, much of it from the quarterback spot.

“The Eagles offense usually operates from a four wide spread attack,” Mount Ayr co-coach Delwyn Showalter said. “They often line up with three receivers to one side of the formation, a single receiver on the opposite side, and the quarterback and runAREA FB | 9A ning back in a pistol set. They

Oldies but goodies: This foursome from Crestmoor Golf Club won the

Southwest Iowa Senior Golf Association’s 12th annual Ryder Cup at Red Oak Country Club on Aug. 21 with a score of 55. Shown from left are Larry Shimono, Larry Wagner, Rick Carter and Steve Moeller. A total of 128 golfers participated in the event. Crestmoor has had the winning team eight of the last 12 years.

8TH GRADE VOLLEYBALL 8th grade Creston eighth-graders won all six sets in action Sept. 12 against Mount Ayr. “I was very happy with our first game!” Creston coach Traci Haley said.

“Serving was probably our best part of the game. We struggled to get the ball up to the setter, but when we did we were able to have some success with our attacks. We have things to work on, but looking forward to a fun season!”

Creston Red won 25-20, 25-23. Brianna Fields had five kills and Halle Evans had one. Evans and Kate Foglesong each had two blocks. Gracie Hagle was 14-15 serving with eight aces, Fields was 8-10, Morgan Driskell went 5-8 with an ace, Anna Mikkelsen was 6-8 with an ace and Macy Wiley was 3-4. Driskell and Evans each had two setting assists. Fields had six digs, Mikkelsen registered four

and Wiley finished with two.

Creston Black defeated Mount Ayr 25-15, 25-12.

Audrey Jennings and Hagle each hit one kill and Hagle had a block. Hagle served 12-13 with eight aces, Audrey Jennings 9-12 with five aces, Aliyah Drey was 8-8 with three aces and Josie Travis went 2-4 with two aces. Jalyn Klejch and Hagle each had a setting assist.

Macy Adamson and Drey each contributed two digs.

Creston White completed the sweep with a 25-17, 2515 victory. Maria Groumoutis hit two kills. Foglesong served 16-19 with 12 aces, Mason Clayton was 4-5 with two aces and and Addyson Kerr was 3-5 with three aces. Fields provided two setting assists. Groumoutis had three digs, with one each by Clayton and Paige Waddingham.

Win over Trojans On Sept. 14, Creston eighth-graders won five of

nine sets against Atlantic.

“We didn’t play as well as we had earlier in the week,” Haley said. “We got behind early and struggled to get something going, but we dug in and came back to win a few games. Atlantic had some great servers. Some were very hard and we struggled to pass those balls up. They also attacked the ball well and we just didn’t transition well.”

Creston Red beat Atlantic 25-18, 14-25, 15-9. Hagle had three kills, Evans hit two and Fields had one.

Fields and Foglesong each provided two blocks. Wiley served 8-10 with two aces, Driskell was 6-7 with two aces and Evans 10-11 with four aces. Driskell put up five assists and Evans had one. Mikkelsen hustled for four digs and Driskell had three.

Creston Black beat Atlantic 25-22, 19-25, 15-5.

CROWD THE COURSE PICTURES

JV FOOTBALL CHARITON — Andy Mills returned a kickoff 70 yards for a touchdown and ran in the two-point conversion to account for all of Creston/O-M’s scoring in a 36-8 loss to the Chariton junior varsity Monday night.

Mills carried 16 times for 204 yards in the loss. He was also 7-8 passing for 28 yards as Luke Latham was on the receiving end six times for 22 yards.

Eli Hartman and Mills each had eight tackles.

“Tonight was a tough night for our JV team,” Creston/O-M co-coach Kevin Cooper said. “We were shorthanded, but the kids that we had battle all night long.”

Rushing — Andy Mills 16-204, Matthew Borha 3-10.

Passing — Mills 7-8 for 28 yards.

Receiving — Luke Latham 6-22, Brayton Chesnut 1-6.

Tackles — Eli Hartman 8, Mills 8, Stephen Buckman 7, Chesnut 6, Walker Patterson 5.

line up in a wildcat set.”

To stop Pella Christian’s attack, the Raiders will need performances on par with that of John Shields’ production in the Woodward-Academy game.

Shields had 12 tackles, three of which were for loss.

Nodaway Valley at Griswold GRISWOLD — Winless Nodaway Valley heads to Griswold, with both teams looking to make some headway in Class A District 7 play.

The Wolverines are still trying to find their footing, and are coming off a 41-7 homecoming loss to Riverside.

Brady Hilpipre had the best offensive game of the season for any Wolverine with 113 yards rushing and a touchdown on 16 carries.

AustIn Wilson and Evan Forcht combined for 16.5 tackles in that loss and Wilson recorded an interception. Spencer Lamb also had an interception in the loss.

Griswold lost 48-0 at home to Southwest Valley last week.

Heath Ogg and Jadon Jahnke were the rushing leaders in that game with a combined 199 yards.

The Wolverines will have to stop Griswold’s runheavy offense if they are to have a chance at their first win against the 1-3 Tigers.

Stanton at Murray MURRAY — Friday night, the Murray Mustangs (0-5, 0-2) will welcome the class of 8-player District 8,

Stanton to their field.

Stanton’s lone loss was to Ar-We-Va to start the season. Both of those teams received votes in the latest Associated Press poll.

The Vikings’ passing attack is what makes them most dangerous, with the combo of Keygan Day at quarterback and Drake Johnson at wide receiver piling up all kinds of yards.

Johnson had 416 receiving yards and nine touchdown receptions out of 15 catches.

Johnson and Dillion Rocha are both over 400 yards receiving for the Vikings.

Slowing down Stanton’s offense will be the goal for Murray, not to stop it.

Stanton has scored 60-plus points in each of its last two games, and had not scored fewer than 36 in a game this season.

Continued valuable repetitions for Murray’s underclassmen should pave the way for more competitive play in the future.

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

Lenox at East Union AFTON — When Lenox visits East Union Friday, it’s not only a longstanding rivalry game, there’s plenty on the line in terms of staying in contention for postseason play in 8-player District 6.

This is especially the case for Lenox, battling some injury losses along the way to a 1-1 district mark to date, and 2-3 overall.

Stanton is at the top with a 2-0 district mark, while East Union and Bedford are still without a district setback at 1-0. The Eagles suffered

their first loss of the season last week to 3-1 Baxter in non-district play.

Lenox is coming off a 60-0 homecoming triumph over Murray.

“This is a rivalry game,” East Union co-coach James Hardy said. “It’s a game that always has intense play in it.

I don’t expect anything less this week.”

Hardy said there can be benefits from last week’s 72-50 setback against Baxter’s formidable passing attack as the Eagles prepare for a tough stretch of games against Lenox, Stanton and Bedford.

“To have that happen, win or lose, against a non-district opponent that plays solid football ... It gives us a feeling of where we’re at,” Hardy said.

Lenox coach Matt Malausky knows his team faces a tough challenge at such a critical juncture of the season.

“We’ve got to stop their running game first and foremost,” Malausky said.

“They run a lot of misdirection and outside stuff, so outside containment will be number one. Take care of your responsibility and let them take care of theirs.”

Wittstock is the workhorse of that East Union rushing attack with 456 yards and five touchdowns on 82 carries. Since Sanden Cheers has returned to the quarterback spot, he’s proven to be a two-way threat with 179 yards and four TDs in 32 carries while passing 9 of 21 for 187 yards and three touchdowns with three interceptions.

Joshua Hardy, Kole Seales and two-game quarterback starter Matt Mc-

Guire have all ran for more than 90 yards to date. Hardy has four touchdowns and a touchdown return of a pass interception.

Five Eagles have caught two or more passes, led by Wittstock’s 106 yards and two TDs on three catches.

Dillon Weis also has two scoring receptions.

Defensively Tate Kerrigan, Seales and Hardy are the tackle leaders.

Colton A b e l l has three quarterback sacks. Abell Weis has picked off two passes.

Malausky has done some shuffling with the Lenox lineup with injuries to Sam Donaldson and Colton Hogan. Donaldson had rushed for 344 yards and five touchdowns.

Quarterback Carter Still is the leading ground-gainer with 378 yards and seven touchdowns on 66 carries.

Colton Gordon has been a running and receiving threat, picking up 256 yards on the ground along with eight catches for 82 yards.

Brenden Christensen has four receptions for 102 yards and three TDs. Christensen, Aaron Schmitz, Derek Venteicher and Drew Venteicher have been the tackle leaders on defense. Derek Venteicher has been a force with five sacks among his eight tackles for losses. Christensen has five stops for losses.

Gordon, Drew Venteicher and Schmitz have each picked off one pass.

Denison-Schleswig.

“It’s going to be critical,” said Morrison “... I think the kickoff team has improved a ton. That being said, we have kids that are either injured or coming back from injury this week that will not be on special teams.”

Punting has been an issue for Creston/O-M so far this season and it was more pronounced than ever against Denison-Schleswig.

“We don’t have a traditional punter and it’s one of those deals where we are trying to be creative, in a smart way and we haven’t been smart in four weeks of doing it,” said Morrison.

Morrison added that there would be different blocking schemes in an effort to get kicks off without as much pressure and,

hopefully, further down field.

As far as winning goes, every week is important.

But, for Creston/O-M, this week will be crucial as the Panthers have big tests at home against Winterset and Glenwood the following two weeks.

“It catapults us into the second half of the season because after this week we will have five games done and we’ve got four left,” said Morrison. “We are just looking at improvement and we did see improvement last week, we just didn’t see enough to win the football game.”

So we’re expecting to see improvement this week and hopefully that will be enough to get the W.” Kickoff against Atlantic is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

NASCAR THIS WEEK

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

CHICAGOLAND

SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves Any surprises after Round 1?

GODSPEAK: It all played to the pre-race script.

KEN’S CALL: None at all.

Not one of the playoff drivers’ finishes was alarming. Weird.

How’d you like Kez’s tweet storm regarding Toyotas?

GODSPEAK: It was funny to watch Kyle Busch (Mr. Toyota) and Keselowski ride in the same truck during driver intros. No conversation.

KEN’S CALL: You’d be tempted to think he was just trying to create some controversy. You know?

C U P S TA N D I N G S 1. Martin Truex Jr. 2102 2. Kyle Larson 2075 3. Kevin Harvick 2067 4. Brad Keselowski 2061 4. Kyle Busch 2061 6. Chase Elliott 2059 7. Denny Hamlin 2058 8.

Ryan Newman 2019

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED 1. Bad decision

2. Bad to the bone Martin Truex Jr. had a rough start to the day at Chicagoland, but finished clean and beat second-place Chase Elliott by more than seven seconds. “This is awesome, man!” he said.

“I’m so excited. This is what it’s all about. This team is unbelievable.”

WINNER: Matt Kenseth REST OF TOP 5: Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Kyle Larson FIRST ONE OUT: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. DARK HORSE: Joey Logano DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Kenseth scores his fourth career win at Loudon since 2013.

MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST What do you talk about when everything goes as expected? The weather, of course. And spaghetti.

No, and if for no other reason, she needs to have a racing presence to fuel her other business endeavors.

Barring sudden developments, I'm guessing you may see her in selected high-profile cameos, such as the Daytona 500, Indy 500 and maybe Rolex 24. But there could be something out there we haven’t considered.

3. Bad day Kyle Busch was a man of few words after his new pit crew messed up during NASCAR’s first playoff race. [AP/NAM Y. HUH]

FEUD OF THE WEEK Neither driver finished on the lead lap. “I had him for a long time,” Dillon said.

THREE THINGS TO WATCH

Tune in online at www.news-journalonline. com/daytonamotor mouths

Martin Truex Jr. is the first driver to qualify for Round 2 of the NASCAR playoffs after winning Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway. The “win and you’re in” theme continues to the season finale. Truex says he’ll continue to mash the gas. “Our outlook, our approach doesn't change from what it was in the regular season,” he said. “We go every single week to try to win both stages and try to win the race.”

2017 SCHEDULE AND WINNERS Feb. 18: The Clash at Daytona (Joey Logano) Feb. 23: Can-Am Duels at Daytona (Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin) Feb. 26: Daytona 500 (Kurt Busch) March 5: Folds of Honor Quick Trip 500 at Atlanta (Brad Keselowski) March 12: Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas (Martin Truex Jr.) March 19: Good Sam 500k at Phoenix (Ryan Newman) March 26: Auto Club 400 at Fontana (Kyle Larson) April 2: STP 500 at Martinsville (Brad Keselowski) April 9: O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas (Jimmie Johnson) April 23: Food City 500 at Bristol (Jimmie Johnson) April 30: Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond (Joey Logano) May 7: Geico 500 at Talladega (Ricky Stenhouse)

JAMIE MCMURRAY VS. RYAN NEWMAN: McMurray spun on the backstretch, bringing out the only “contact caution” of the day. McMurray took a detour after clanking sheet metal with Newman.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: McMurray finished 10th compared with Newman’s 23rd-place effort, so he was nice. “I think I just didn’t give the No. 31 (Newman) enough room and it got me turned around,” he said.

W H AT ’ S O N TA P CUP SERIES: ISM Connect 300 SITE: New Hampshire Motor Speedway (1.058-mile oval) TV SCHEDULE: Friday, practice (NBC Sports Network, 11:30 a.m.), qualifying (NBCSN, 5 p.m.).

Saturday, practice (CNBC, 9 a.m., and NBCSports.com, 11:30 a.m.).

Sunday, race (NBCSN, race coverage begins at 1:30 p.m.; green flag, 2:15 p.m.)

2. Dogfight territory The eight drivers bringing up the rear of the NASCAR playoffs field all are in dire need of a victory to make it to Round 2. Matt Kenseth is ninth in points, but 63 points behind Truex. Ryan Newman, all the way back in 16th place, is 83 points back with just two races left in Round 1.

The Top-12 drivers advance, which means we are getting deep into dogfight territory.

Austin Dillon and Kurt Busch share the bubble (12th) position.

New old-school?

Is Danica done-ica?

GODWIN’S PICKS FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE

Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

Or maybe it was old new-school.

Whatever, Brad Keselowski used an old racing tactic this past week — he complained that Toyota drivers have a big advantage and NASCAR should look into it. He did it in the most modern of ways, however — through Twitter. Two possible reasons, by my guess: Kez isn’t afraid to promote, and maybe he was just stirring the pot to get folks fired up. Or maybe he was at a sponsor party and blurted, “Hey, y’all, watch this …”

Kyle Busch and crew chief Adam Stevens decided to use Daniel Suarez’s pit crew, which has been consistently faster all season. The trade didn’t work out too well. “Just poor execution all around,” said Stevens. “We made a lot of mistakes on pit road.”

You know you are having a bad day in the NASCAR playoffs when you are racing for this position — the first car a lap down. Austin Dillon and Kyle Busch did just that late in the race at Chicago.

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E

Martin Truex Jr. may have been the first NASCAR driver slimed in Victory Lane by the folks at Nickelodeon. Truex said that nothing, not even green slime, will slow him down in Round 1 of the playoffs. [AP/NAM Y. HUH]

3. Back to one New Hampshire Motor Speedway has been one of NASCAR’s elite tracks, boasting two Cup Series dates since 1997. That 20-year run ends Sunday, because in 2018, the “Magic Mile” will have only one Cup date, scheduled in late July. Las

Vegas Motor Speedway will get that second date and become the first race of NASCAR playoffs next season. Parent company Speedway Motorsports made the call on that change.

No. 4 Penn State steps up in competition with visit to Iowa

By Eric Olsen AP Sports Writer

Some things to watch in the Big Ten this week: GAME OF THE WEEK Penn State at Iowa.

We’ll start finding out just how good the fourthranked Nittany Lions are as they begin their Big Ten title defense Saturday. So far they’ve beaten up on teams with a combined 2-6 record and put up impressive numbers in the process.

Heisman Trophy contender Saquon Barkley is one of two players in the nation averaging more than 200 all-purpose yards per game, and the Lions’ defense has posted two shutouts and has allowed a total of 14 points. Unbeaten Iowa’s Nate Stanley has thrown for 10 touchdowns, the most by a Hawkeyes QB over a three-game stretch in 30 years, and 1,000-yard rusher Akrum Wadley will play after hurting an ankle last week. The Hawkeyes have trailed in each game while starting 3-0. Last season, Penn State amassed 599 total yards and limited the Hawkeyes to 30 yards rushing in a 41-14

win.

BEST MATCHUP Notre Dame running game vs. Michigan State defense. QB Brandon Wimbush and RB Josh Adams each ran for 200 yards and the Irish totaled 515 on the ground against Boston College last week, their most since 1969. That performance came a week after Georgia held them to 55 yards rushing. Michigan State, which starts only one senior in its front seven, hasn’t allowed an offensive touchdown through two games and is giving up 91.5 yards a game on the ground.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS Indiana has won nine of its last 10 nonconference games heading into its meeting with Georgia Southern. ... Maryland is averaging 57 points after opening the season with consecutive 50-point games for the first time.

The Terrapins’ opponent, UCF, scored 61 points in its only game of the season. ... Ohio State, which hosts UNLV, has allowed two rushing touchdowns through 12 quarters. ...

Nebraska is 1-2 for the second time in three

Volunteers needed to help at Green Valley on 130th St. off of Highway 25. Volunteers should bring gloves, closed toed shoes, bug spray, sun screen, water and a sack lunch. They may bring hand tools such as loppers and hand saws; however power tools and chainsaws will be prohibited.

“Stay for an hour or stay for the whole day,” said Daniel Stull, Green Valley Park technician. “There will be plenty to do for everyone that wants to lend a helping hand.”

“This will be a good opportunity for those that enjoy using our grass trails to come and improve the resource they enjoy, and for those that have only used the paved trail at Green Valley, the opportunity to see some new areas of the park,” said Alan Carr, Green Valley Park Ranger.

Any changes to the event will be posted on Green Valley State Park’s Iowa DNR website and on Friends of Green Valley State Park Facebook page.

Contact Green Valley State Park at 641-782-5131 or via email at Green_Valley@ dnr.iowa.gov, for more information or if interested in volunteering.

Iowa’s state parks are looking for volunteers Saturday, Sept. 30, for Iowa’s first State Park Volunteer Day. Volunteer activities will take place in 32 state parks including Green Valley State Park in Creston.

“We all have important roles to play in caring for our state parks,” said Todd Coffelt, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources State Parks Bureau. “They are everyone’s land, part of the public trust.”

He said volunteer opportunities are available to families, friends, coworkers, scout groups or clubs to spend the day outdoors helping their local state park by removing invasive plants, maintaining trails, picking up trash, painting picnic tables, restoring forests and seeding prairies.

Iowa’s State Park Volunteer Day is held in conjunction with National Public Lands Day, the nation’s largest one-day volunteer effort for public lands.

More than 200,000 volunteers from across the country will participate in stewardship activities at more than 2,500 sites.

Locally, Green Valley State Park will be hosting the event from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Volunteers will help replace bridge planks and widen the grass trail on the west side of the park.

Volunteers can meet at the parking lot on the west side of Green Valley State Park
