Galen Zumbach selected to CHS Hall of Fame Longtime ag teacher built nationally recognized FFA program.

Galen Zumbach is an adjunct agricultural instructor at Southwestern Community College after a 33-year career as agriculture teacher and FFA adviser at Creston High School. He will be inducted into the Creston High School Hall of Fame tonight.

When Galen Zumbach came to Creston in 1977 as Creston High School agriculture education instructor and FFA adviser, he told CHS Principal Ron Levine to expect a short stay.

“I told Ron Levine I had just finished my master’s, and I thought I would be here at least three years and then probably go back and finish my doctorate,” said Zum-

bach, an Iowa State University graduate who grew up on a family farm near Coggin in northeast Iowa.

He exceeded those three years by three decades, retiring in 2010 after building one of the elite FFA programs in the state’s history.

“First, I like a challenge, and getting the program going when I got here was a challenge,” said Zumbach.

“Then you meet friends and you develop relationships.

Coaching (football) was a big part of that. The corps of teachers who stayed for years and years — Dick Bergstrom, John Rose, Randy Hughes, Vanita Moberg, Dennis Kuyper. You could go on and on. Creston was a destination for teachers then, not a stopping point.

All of a sudden you realize five, six years down the road that this is home.”

And tonight, Zumbach will receive a special honor in his adopted hometown.

He joins Linda Lucas Walling and Dannie Stephens as new inductees in the Creston High School Hall of Fame.

Induction will take place during a ceremony at 7 p.m. in the CHS auditorium, followed by coronation of the 2016 homecoming queen.

The event will be livestreamed online in collaboration of CHS and KSIB Radio, with the link on the home page of ksibradio.com.

The 63-year-old Zumbach was selected as a “Distinguished Faculty” inductee by the CHS Hall of Fame Committee.

“It’s neat,” Zumbach said.

“I had been a part of the process of selecting some of the individuals who received it in the past, and many of those people are close personal friends that I came into this community with as a young person.”

Currently, Zumbach is an adjunct agricultural instructor at Southwestern Community College and in his fifth year as a member of the Creston Community Schools Board of Directors.

Zumbach said there were efforts by his family and friends in north Linn County for him to return to his roots, but he saw potential in Creston students. The FFA program began earning stateZUMBACH | 5A

Hike-N-Seek National Cattledog Finals event to be to be hosted by Travis held in Creston

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

The Iowa Geocachers Organization (IGO) is bringing its annual Hike-N-Seek event to Creston this weekend.

Geocaching is a game in which participants use Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to locate hidden caches and log that those caches have been found.

Hike-N-Seek runs Friday through Sunday with various

events taking place throughout the weekend.

In conjunction with HikeN-Seek, local geocachers have placed about 250 new caches in the area.

Roger Lanning, who has been placing caches, said the Hike N Seek event will cover a large area.

“It really starts at about Lake Icaria to the west and then all around Creston and Green Valley Lake, Three Mile Lake, Twelve Mile Lake,” he said. “It looks like there’s (caches) going on the Mormon Trail going about as far east as Osceola.”

According to Lanning, last week there were about 125 people signed up on the IGO website to attend the event.

But, he estimates with the forecast looking good for the weekend, more people will CACHE | 9A

Dr. Steve Stults of Creston listens to a heartbeat as demonstrated by Southwestern Community College nursing instructor Suzanne Carlson in the clinical lab Sept. 20, 2006. Stults was one of many people who toured the new Allied Health and Science Center and Spartan Suites residence hall.

Today is Sept. 22, the 266th day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 100 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Sept.

19-25) in history:

10 years ago Creston High School sophomore Mike Smith, 15, proved that the disabled could make a difference. Smith had a debilitating disease known as Friedreich’s Ataria, which causes one out of every 50,000 Americans to have trouble walking, slurred speech and impaired hand coordination. With the help of Regan Fehrle, Pam Ostroski, Melisa Crook, Ginger Squires and Leslie Tyler, Smith inspired a fundraising event which included a street dance, games and silent auction with proceeds to go toward research for a cure.

Southwestern Community College held a grand opening showcasing the new Allied Heath and Science Center and Spartan Suites residence hall.

The Allied Center cost $2,120,285 and allowed SWCC to increase nursing enrollment. The new hall cost $2,140,345 and each apartment included an approximately 1,100-squarefoot living space. The living room and furnished kitchen were connected to four furnished single bedrooms.

20 years ago Creston Historical Society volunteers Ken Caldwell and Howard Harris tore through six layers of shingles with pry bars to patch a hole where the chimney was removed in an 1890’s vintage house.

The house was an addition to the Union County Historical Complex and would be furnished with antiques from the era after repairs were complete.

Casey’s General Stores announced the plans to close their sandwich shop located in the Industrial Park Jan. 31, 1997. The commissary had been in operation in Creston since 1986 and the announcement affected 17 full-time employees. Casey’s Food Service was the only facility operated by Casey’s and provided about 250,000 sandwiches each month to the 1,015 Caseys stores located in nine states.

Edith Kralik and family of Prescott were presented a Century Farm Award at the Iowa Sate Fair. The

program was sponsored by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and Iowa Farm Bureau Federation.

50 years ago Kathy Sobotka of Diagonal reigned as queen of Mount Ayr Ridiculous Days festivities. The event included a parade, queen contest, carnival and circus, the ballyhooing of bargains by merchants in ridiculous costumes and the special appearance of a caravan of Shriners.

After five years as high school band director, L.V. Foley took over the office of Creston High School principal. Foley succeeded L.H. Kuhre who was appointed curriculum coordinator and federal program director.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, September 22, 2016

Homecoming week is on tap here in Creston Friday is the Creston High School homecoming game. The Panther football team is off to a good start. The parade is on Friday afternoon and it is always fun to see all the kids taking part. Looks like the weather is still going to be summer-like.

Believe it or not, the football season is already half over. It seems like it just got started yesterday.

60 Wednesday, I hit one of those milestone birthdays. It sure does seem like time is flying by.

I don’t feel any different than when I was 50! Some of my friends say it’s all downhill at 60 or 65 depending upon how you are doing health-wise.

tivities I belong to. My thought is that if you keep moving forward you don’t have time to think about growing old. Kind of the young at heart and mind theory!

Birds The dove hunters have had a great season this year with lots of reports of people limiting out on the birds. You can take 15 per day.

I’ve heard that the hunters are seeing thousands of birds in the area. The other good thing is the pheasant report seems to be going in the right direction. At least you see some of the birds on the road and around the county. A

couple of years back you would never see any birds.

The other report is the quail population looks like it has taken off. I’m sure the local hunters are looking forward to the end of October for the season to start.

Employment The monthly employment report is out. It spells out that things may be softening a little bit in Iowa. Our current unemployment rate is at 4.2 percent.

Last year at this time it was at 3.6 percent. The national rate is at 4.9 percent.

The rate is still pretty low compared to seven years ago when the recession was in full swing. I think the biggest problem right now is the job skills of people are not matching up with the jobs that are available. It is a problem across the whole country. We need a lot of retraining of skills.

The technology has gotten ahead teresting show with some good twists in it.

Is Trump a traitor?

Someone dares call it treason. Hillary Clinton used the occasion of the New York-area bombings to accuse Donald Trump of providing “aid and comfort” to ISIS. This speaks both to her desperation as polls show a tightening race and her foolish misunderstanding of what drives ISIS and other Islamic radicals.

Clinton makes it sound like ISIS fighters are disaffected members of a swing-state focus group who, as soon as they hear an offensive statement from Donald Trump, prepare the next attack.

If Hillary really believes Trump is a “recruiting sergeant” for terrorists, she has a thin understanding of human motivation. It takes something very powerful to convince a young man to risk life and limb fighting for a terror group that is hunted and bombed wherever it gains a foothold. That something isn’t the ephemera of an American presidential campaign; it is religion.

ISIS is an apocalyptic cult. As Graeme Wood wrote in a widely noted essay in The Atlantic last year, “Virtually every major decision and law promulgated by the Islamic State adheres to what it calls, in its press and pronouncements, and on its billboards, license plates, stationery, and coins, ‘the Prophetic methodology,’ which means following the prophecy and example of Muhammad, in punctilious detail.”

It is tempting, Wood writes, to

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

consider jihadists “modern secular people, with modern political concerns, wearing medieval religious disguise,” when in reality ISIS is inexplicable outside of its “sincere, carefully considered commitment to returning civilization to a seventh-century legal environment, and ultimately to bringing about the apocalypse.”

In other words, Donald Trump – or any other American politician – is beside the point.

Radical Islamists have maintained a murderous enmity to the United States across presidencies. What did Hillary’s husband do to incite Islam? Yet al-Qaida nearly sank a U.S. destroyer on his watch and hatched the Sept.

11 plot. George W. Bush insisted that Islam is a religion of peace, and Barack Obama steadfastly refuses to use the word “Islam” in connection with the word “terrorism.” Yet there is no evidence that al-Qaida or ISIS relented in response to their carefully selected diplomatic words.

The left has a habit of calling things it doesn’t like “recruiting tools” for terrorists. We were told that the Iraq War was a recruiting tool, even though shortly after President Obama “ended” the war, ISIS established a caliphate straddling Iraq and Syria. We were told that Guantanamo Bay was a recruiting tool, even though the ISIS threat has

grown as President Obama has moved to shut down the facility.

A few recruiting videos have indeed featured Trump. It’s hard to believe, though, that young Muslim men around the world are becoming terrorists because they take exception, for example, to Trump’s proposed temporary ban on Muslim travel to the United States. One video from a pro-ISIS group earlier this year appeared to use a clip from Trump – saying Brussels is “an absolute horror show” – purely to attract media attention.

None of this is to say that Trump’s inflammatory statements are correct or wise. But the best recruiting tool that ISIS has, besides its twisted religious vision, is its success on the ground. That’s why voters should want to hear a serious plan to defeat ISIS from both Trump (whose plan is secret) and Hillary (whose plan is a nebulous version of the status quo).

We shouldn’t fool ourselves that the right choice of words or immigration policies will mitigate the threat from ISIS or similar groups. The source of their hatred is much deeper than that.

As an ISIS magazine put it, “The fact is, even if you were to stop bombing us, imprisoning us, torturing us, vilifying us, and usurping our lands, we would continue to hate you because our primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam.”

Short of that, there is no choice but to fight on – and reject delusion.

wide recognition.

He wrote all of his own curriculum for his agriculture classes, working with a national firm, Agri Farms Publications Inc., to distribute the material to schools nationwide. He also served on state and national panels charged with reviewing and publishing agriculture instructional programs.

Under his direction, Creston FFA students participated in more than 100 activities each year. The chapter was considered one of the nation’s best throughout his teaching career, being named Iowa Supreme Chapter 13 times.

During his tenure as adviser, Creston FFA was the only chapter in the nation to win five National Chapter Award competitions.

In his 33 years, Zumbach saw 209 students receive their State FFA degrees, with 56 of those going on to earn American FFA degrees. In all, 22 members held offices at the state or national level, including the late Kevin Eblen, who served as national FFA president in the 1986-87 school year.

“I got to work with a lot of tremendous kids,” Zumbach said. “It was fun getting them to achieve more than what they thought they could achieve.”

National president Eblen, who died in 2012 at the age of 46, was one of those students Zumbach pushed.

Eblen worked for Monsanto for 20 years and was the president for Monsanto Greater China at the time of his death.

He was a noted advocate for solving world hunger through agricultural advances.

Eblen was only the fourth Iowan to be elected National FFA president while he was an Iowa State student in 1986 and the 10th Iowan to serve as a National FFA officer.

Zumbach remembers the first time he met Eblen as a young high school student, watching his potential unfold over the next several years at both CHS and Iowa State University.

“I remember when Kevin came into the classroom as a freshman,” Zumbach said.

“There was some spark about his presence, his personality.

He treated everyone like they were his best friend. I remember saying to him, ‘Kevin, I see in you a state officer, perhaps a national officer in FFA. I don’t know whether you see that in yourself. If it is something you want, I’m going to push and drive you. If it’s not, that’s fine.’ Well, it was something that he wanted, and I was just along for the ride. It was so Zumbach much fun watching him grow as a student and a leader, and same type of development then rising nationally and in- around the new middle (and ternationally with Monsanto.” elementary) school.”

“He inspired me to be a betcation at Iowa State. He has been FFA adviser at Clarinda ter teacher and leader at Cressince 2000 and, like his men- ton High School,” Moberg tor, has built one of the top stated in a hall of fame nomination letter to the selection programs in the state.

Clarinda FFA was named committee. “Galen inspired the 2016 Outstanding Ag Ed and motivated others to achieve and contribute to the Program in Iowa.

“That was a neat honor to community and the school’s get,” Johnson said. “I remember my experiences in FFA in Creston under an adviser who pushed us a lot to work hard and earn success. I think one thing I’ve tried to do here at Clarinda is model that idea of Galen’s that if you work hard, you will accomplish something.”

Zumbach said he is proud of Johnson’s work at Clarinda.

“Andy has an active chapter, one that I believe right now is the top FFA program in the state of Iowa,” Zumbach said. “Some of that success probably came from his training here, but what he’s done with that is the key. He’s gotten good kids engaged in the program. There are good kids everywhere. You just have to offer them ways to develop their abilities and become successful, productive young people.”

environment and be the very best they can be. Galen encouraged individuals to take responsibility for their actions and accept challenges.”

Football coach In his work as a high school assistant or middle school football coach throughout Bergstrom’s tenure as head coach until 2010, Zumbach said he got to know students in a different environment and learn leadership skills from his fellow coaches.

“My first day in Creston we were in a new teachers meeting together and Dick Bergstrom asked if I would be interested in coaching football,” Zumbach said.

At first, the former North Linn High School quarterback declined. Then, he reconsidered and coached the sport for 33 seasons.

“It was one of the best things I ever did,” Zumbach said. “I learned so much from Dick. I have so much respect for him

as a person and a leader. We had a great staff and many of us stayed for a long time. Guys like Darrell Frain and Steve Birchard came in as young men and they’re still involved.”

At the end of his Creston High School career, Zumbach said many of the goals he set as a first-year teacher had been met. He was ready for a new challenge, and the SWCC faculty position supplied that.

Hughes, his former CHS colleague, also teaches at Southwestern.

“I teach six different classes a year — three each semester,” Zumbach said. “I love to impart knowledge, and here you don’t have all of the other extracurricular things on the nights and weekends. I enjoy it. (Ag director) Susannah Miller does a nice job.”

“My life has revolved around the school,” Zumbach said. “Someone like Sharon Snodgrass and myself, who spent most of our lives teaching in this school system, can bring a lot to the table. We have been directly involved in curriculum development, and we have an understanding of the nuances of what a teacher faces in the classroom. I believe we’re moving in the right direction. We have some good administrators and some good young teachers.”

Hearing from former students as successful adults continues to be heartwarming for Zumbach.

“The school became my family,” Zumbach said. “I didn’t marry. I didn’t have my own kids. I loved working with the young people here.

And they still stay in contact.

5 interior design trends to step up your style game (BPT) – As the temperatures continue to warm up outside, you may be ready to embrace the adage “out with the old and in with the new” when it comes to your home’s interior design.

Whether you’re a first time homebuyer looking for ways to upgrade your starter home or a seasoned homeowner seeking a refresh, these tips will give you ideas to work with on any budget.

1. Design for social connection. Given the pace of today’s technology driven life, more and more people are turning to their home as a haven, a place where they can unplug from screens and reconnect with family

and friends. “An easy way to accomplish this is to design your home to encourage personal interaction,” recommends interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn.

“Group comfortable furniture in ‘conversation zones’ and banish TVs to smaller rooms, freeing up larger living spaces for screen-free entertaining and relaxing.”

2. Get outside. As lines are continually blurring between indoor and outdoor living areas, it’s just as important to consider your outdoor oasis as it is your standard living room. Adding an outdoor project like a wood deck or pergola can add resale value to your home. There are

many options to accessorize your outdoor space with furniture, lighting and rugs.

Build a comfortable spot that bridges the gap between inside and out, and you’re certain to spend more time outside creating memorable experiences.

3. Go natural. Many residential designers today are embracing a classic, modern style that is characterized by white, neutral tones and light wood in its natural state.

This look is DIY-friendly, since the only skills required involve a light sanding and a quick coat of clear sealant.

“What I like most about this trend is how tranquil unstained wood can feel when

used in an all white space,” says Flynn. There’s a reason for that tranquility - studies show people have reduced signs of stress and increased relaxation in rooms with natural elements like wood.

4. Less is more. If you own a home with strong architectural features, it often works best to decorate with practical pieces that keep the overall space comfortable and sparse, allowing the unique aspects of your home to shine through. If you have soaring ceilings or large windows that allow for an abundance of natural light, try incorporating low-slung, minimalistic furniture with comfortable upholstery. The

best part? If you’re purchasing fewer pieces, that means you’re likely to save more money in the long run.

5. Don’t play it safe. It can be tempting to stick with what you know, but when it comes to interior design, that’s a recipe for lackluster beige walls. When it comes to paint, try new neutrals like grey-green, brown-grey, olive or muted blue-grey.

Feel like a bigger project?

It’s easy to give a room its focal point with a wood feature wall. “I like playing with lines through wall and ceiling cladding,” Flynn says.

“While the look of horizontal shiplap continues to grow in popularity, I also like

5 easy tips to make a bold impression in your home homeowners believe there is a positive emotional impact that results from painting a space, according to a new survey by Nielsen and Sherwin-Williams. It’s no surprise, then, that nearly half of homeowners are enthusiastic about doing a home-painting project, and more than half of homeowners plan to paint an area in their home in the next 12 months, according to the survey.

(BPT) – If you are looking to make a change in your home, a small, inexpensive weekend painting project

of HGTV’s “Curb Appeal”, “Dream Home” and Fox’s “Home Free” has five tips to liven up your space and make a bold impression:

Make one change at a time You only have one day?

Spend a few spare hours on a Saturday painting a front door. It’s a fun project that is actually relatively easy and hugely rewarding.

Think outside the box and do something unexpected Go ahead and flip the room upside down. Change the color of your ceiling.

Paint the frame or even the face of a mirror. Create an ombre or chevron design on an accent wall. The more imaginative you get - the bet-

ter, bigger, bolder impression you will make.

Change your perspective Have something in your space that you can’t change?

An awkward window, or a family antique you can’t get rid of? Rather than hide it, own it. Put it on display.

Small changes to something quirky will give your space character and instantly entertain your guests as they walk into the room.

“I once had a client who hated the large column in her dining/living room area.

I designed a dining table that wrapped around it, using the column as support,” Gidding says. “Success.”

The Southern Prairie YMCA Christian Emphasis Committee invites the community to the Y at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28, for “See You at the Pole.”

“See You at the Pole” is an annual gathering of Christians of all ages at a flagpole for prayer and scripture-reading during the early morning. Meet at the Y, rain or shine. The morning gives everyone the opportunity to take a moment to pray for their school, friends, families, churches and communities.

“See You at the Pole” was inspired by the initiative of students in one youth group in Burleson, Texas, early in 1990. The teenagers felt led to go and pray at night at several area schools during a weekend youth group retreat. They had a profound time of prayer, and their experience was shared with thousands of other youth across Texas in the form of a challenge in June 1990 at a large conference.

were documented at the first “See You at the Pole” in September of that year.

The movement continued to grow nationally and internationally since 1991.

In 1990, when youth ministers in Texas first challenged young people to meet on a common day to launch their school year in prayer, one of the concerns was how to help those who wanted to pray together find each other.

It was noted virtually every school has a flagpole, and the flagpole provided an easy-to-identify place to gather. Also, one issue that the teenagers were praying about was the spiritual health of their country and their leaders, in obedience to 1 Timothy 2:1–2. Hence, the location and name of the event.

Old books imitate art?

Dear Readers: With the invention of the e-reader and digital downloads of books, you might not be buying as many books as you used to.

But what if you have dozens of VINTAGE BOOKS from over the years?

Book readers, you can turn your books into art and home decor! Make sure you don’t have any first editions, of course, and then consider the following hints: * Install floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in the den or family room, and display the books artistically. Tuck some greenery, flameless candles and brass pieces in as accents. * Hollow out a book and use it to store valuables in the bookcase. * Glue stacks of books together to make a stool, small table or nightstand.

Individual pages of books can be a crafter’s dream: * Laminate individual pages with special passages and quotes for place mats or wall hangings. * Fold pages into pretty flower shapes to make mobiles and wind-spinners. * Decoupage favorite quotes onto coasters, small boxes, catchall trays and keepsake and jewelry boxes.

Keep books alive by incorporating them into your surroundings and home decor. – Heloise

Hints from Heloise RING AROUND THE COLLAR Dear Heloise: I’ve conquered the problem of ring around the collar. I got to the root of the problem: washing my neck. Don’t laugh. If you jump in and out of the shower, you may overlook your neck and behind your ears.

Now I make a concerted effort to clean my neck with a textured washcloth and rub gently behind my ears. – Rob B. in San Antonio If you have ring around the collar on shirts, removing it is easy. Try using cheap hair shampoo. It is designed to break down grease in your hair, and it is safe for most fabrics. – Heloise

EARPLUGS Dear Heloise: Thank you so much for all the hints that you give to us. I am a retired registered nurse and have a hint for anyone who uses a hair dryer: use earplugs! After many years of using this device, you could become hard of hearing.

I always wear earplugs when showering and shampooing my hair, and I keep them in when drying my hair.

FAMILY CIRCUS®

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

I wish that all beauty salons would do the same for their customers. – Jacqueline B., San Luis Obispo, Calif.

COUPON CONUNDRUM Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Billings (Mont.) Gazette. It’s getting difficult to read some coupons that use fancy colors.

What is wrong with the old black printing on light-colored backgrounds? That would be helpful, especially to us older folks.

Also, today’s fewer coupons expire in a short time (two weeks for some).

Thanks for your column and for lending us your ear and letting us air our gripes!

– Carole M., Cody, Wyo. PENS AND PENCILS Dear Heloise: I had a toothbrush holder that I didn’t need anymore, so I decorated it, and it now BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker holds my pens. The toothpaste section is for my glasses. – Janet R., Salado, Texas Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

Horoscope Friday, Sept. 23, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Many of you have ideas about how to make improvements at work. Others have ideas about how to make improvements to their own health. Don’t hesitate to act on these impulses.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)This is a powerful day for those of you who are involved in teaching children. You might be able to say something that really impacts a young mind; hopefully, for the better.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a good day to tackle home repairs and do recycling and garbage cleanup. This might not sound very exciting, but hey, the results are wonderful!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You will be convincing today in all your conversations with others, which is why this is a strong day for those of you who sell, market, teach, act or write. Write on!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a good day to do repairs to something that you own.

You might resurrect something questionable and find a good use for it, because you are clever and resourceful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is the second day this week where the stars want you to take a realistic look in the mirror and see how you can improve your image. What can you do?

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your ability to seek out solutions to old problems is excellent today. In fact, any kind of research that you do will yield results. Bravo.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)You might attract someone very strong to your circle of friends today. Or possibly, you are the person who delivers a strong message to someone else? (It could happen either way.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because you are persuasive today, bosses and VIPs will listen to you. Conversely, you might encounter a boss who is really persuasive as well!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You are eager to introduce reforms and better ways of doing things, especially to politics. This is why your discussions with others will be intense and emotional.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) You might be able to finalize certain questions regarding inheritances and shared property today. Issues have been going back and forth; but now they might get settled.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Secrets related to your work might come out today.

Whatever you do today, you will scrutinize and examine it in depth.

YOU BORN TODAY You are charming, witty and confident.

You are also intellectually curious. You show others care

and affection, which earns you their respect. Take advantage of opportunities that present themselves this year, because this is the year you’ve been waiting for. Expect a major change, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2006.

It’s time to test your future!

Ave., south of Highway 34.

Signs will be posted along the highway and Pole Road for anyone who wishes to watch. “There are vendors from Creston and surrounding areas,� Travis said. “They’re having a craft show Thursday and Friday selling all sorts of goodies.�

Entry is free, and a lunch will be served each day. Items may be purchased individually.

Each day has something different to offer. Today and Saturday, professional handlers and their professional dogs will participate in an open class. Friday will be devoted to two runs of the nursery class, or handlers with dogs younger than three years.

Sunday will be the final run for all dogs from the nursery and open classes. “We’ve got dogs from all over,� Travis said. “It’s a big deal, man. There’s a lot of prizes to win.�

Travis said there are about 40 participants in the open class and 30 in the nursery class. Participants will receive

points during their run from two judges.

The event has more than 30 sponsors from the area, and prizes include cash, donated items and belt buckles. There will also be a raffle for a Henry Golden Boy .22-gauge rifle on Saturday from Henry Repeating Arms, which runs for more than $500.

Preparation In Travis’ previous events as host, he helped with additional classes such as novice, or beginner, and pro-novice, which were dogs more trained than beginner but not quite trained enough for open class. He hosted the trials for four years before beginning preparation for the finals. “There’s rigorous sorting of the cattle,� Travis said of getting all black cattle at the right comfort level. “You don’t want them too broke; you want the high-end cattle taken off.�

He also had to make sure the lot was mowed and in good condition for use and prepare different courses so each handler and dog weren’t running the same course each day. “I was very fortunate. I got a lot of family members to help out,� Travis said.

Ever since Travis decided to get a cattledog to work alongside him in his feed lot, he’s been learning how to train and training his dogs. He gained expertise from Bob Johnson of Tingley, who also convinced him to participate in a cattledog trial. “I’ve been hooked ever since,� Travis said.

Now, as a host, Travis, who is also participating in the event, is apprehensive and excited for all the preparation to hit its zenith. “It seems like when you do the prep work, you don’t do as much practicing as you should, but I’m excited at the same time,� Travis said. “They like to move these frequently to keep the sport evolving, keep the sport spread out and diversified. It was kind of a good fit for Iowa.�

ORIENT – After a summer of grilling and outdoor eating, Chef Katie Porter’s fall cooking classes at the Henry A. Wallace Country Life Center will encourage you to return to the kitchen with new recipes and techniques.

Both classes start at 5:30 p.m., last at least two hours and include dinner and takehome materials. Space is limited to 12 participants to ensure individual attention. Cost is $35 per person. The Country Life Center is located at 2773 290th St., in rural Orient.

Slow-cooked meats are offered 5:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 3, and will teach how to turn tougher and less expensive cuts of meat into tender, delicious main dishes.

Vegetarian entrees will be 5:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 14, and participants will use fresh veggies and whole grains to create nutritious, satisfying entrees.

Originally from Mount Ayr, Porter trained at the American Culinary Federation of Colorado Mountain College in Keystone, Colorado. Porter has traveled the

country and beyond during her career, holding cooking positions at fine-dining restaurants in Colorado, North Carolina, Chicago, the Caribbean, Europe and at CSA farms in Wisconsin. She’s appeared on Iowa Public Television’s “Iowa Ingredient� program and KWCI’s Great Day morning show, and featured in articles in the Des Moines Register, DSM magazine and Southwestern magazine. Porter is also part of Des Moines’ Chefs Collaborative and Slow Food Des Moines.

Reservations for cooking classes can be made at www. wallace.org or by phone at 515-243-7063.

The Wallace Centers of Iowa’s two locations include the Henry A. Wallace Country Life Center in rural Orient and the Wallace House in Des Moines. Together, the two historic sites provide educational programs and community services, produce sustainably grown fruits and vegetables and offer locally sourced meals. More information about the nonprofit can be found at www.wallace.org.

Former Iowa city clerk convicted in child sex case LAWTON (AP) — A former city clerk in northwest Iowa has been convicted after making a plea deal in a Nebraska child sex case.

Court records say 61-yearold Douglas Furlich, of Lawton, Wednesday entered a plea of no contest to an amended count of attempted sexual assault by use of an electronic communication device. Sentencing has been set for Nov. 9.

The Lawton City Council in Iowa fired Furlich after his arrest.

The Nebraska State Patrol says Furlich posted an ad online saying he was “looking for a younger guy.� Officials say an undercover officer responded, pretending to be a 15-year-old boy. Court documents say Furlich went to a South Sioux City, Nebraska, park in June to meet the boy.

Furlich was arrested there.

Creston Firefighter Matt Perkins holds the ladder while Creston Volunteer Firefighter Wes Zollman scales, ax in hand, to break a second-story window to ventilate a house during a fire Wednesday. Firefighters responded to the house, located at 511 N. Pine St., at about 5:15 p.m.

Wednesday. According to the owners, Timothy and Jeannette Haynie, a neighbor informed them of smoke coming from an outside corner of their home. A 911 call was placed after the Haynies were unable to put the fire out with a fire extinguisher. The cause of the fire was an issue with electrical wiring on the second floor, according to Creston Fire Chief Todd Jackson. Damage estimate is $25,000, and no injuries were reported.

Lenox, East Union set for pivitol district showdown

By RYAN KRONBERG in district play, even more so pared to playing in that type Essex and Wayne.

CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

The reconfigured playoff format, with just two teams advancing from district play instead of four in recent years, has put an increased emphasis on the regular season.

It means there’s key showdowns every Friday as teams look to stay alive for a postseason spot.

One such game will happen Friday in Lenox as perfect East Union meets up with 3-1 Lenox.

Each team comes into the matchup 2-0. There’s four teams in Eight-player District Six at 2-0: the Eagles, Tigers, Bedford and Stanton.

“Every game is important

now, since only two teams make it to the playoffs out of each district,” said Lenox coach Matt Malausky.

East Union co-coach James Hardy said the Eagles’ approach to each week has been the same, whether it’s a district game or not.

“Every game is a playoff game,” Hardy said. “We treat it as such. It’s so much different from when four teams made the playoffs.”

Each game takes on more meaning, meaning the stakes are raised.

“We’re playing with a little bit of pressure on both sides of the coin,” Hardy said. “We’ve got that playoff atmosphere too. It’s already early in the season. One of the things here is we’re pre-

of environment all the time from week-to-week.”

The Eagles come in perfect on the season, having won their four games by an average of 41.5 points per game, aided by a 50-0 win over Essex in week one and a 74-0 win at Mormon Trail last Friday.

Hardy said the Eagles have made good progress throughout each of the first four games.

“We’ve seen a lot of good things,” Hardy said. “We’ve had a lot of leadership. A lot of kids have stepped up that we wouldn’t have expected to do.”

The Tigers are come in having won three straight, with plenty of growth having come in wins over Murray,

“The improvements we have shown have been numerous, from team improvements to individual improvements,” Malausky said. “Offensively, as a whole, we have improved in all phases of our blocking. Defensively, our gang tackling/rallying to the football and our defensive team pursuit has been the biggest improvement I have seen.

You rarely see one of our players making the tackle on his own.”

East Union has taken a number of strides forward over the first four weeks.

“There’s been continued to growth in the offensive line,” Hardy said. “The AREA | 4S

East Union, Lenox What: East Union at Lenox Where: Lenox Time: 7 p.m.

Panthers look to keep momentum going Atlantic in town for Homecoming

■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Offense has come easy the last few weeks for the Creston/Orient-Macksburg football team.

Shoring up problems with the defense has been a key focus.

The Panthers (4-0, 2-0) have a chance to build on what they have strived to work on all season as Friday’s homecoming game against Atlantic (1-3, 0-2) is likely to be played in excellent weather and probably the biggest crowd of the year thus far.

After less-than-desirable weather in each of Creston/ O-M’s first two home games, a clear warm night will be more than welcome for players and fans alike.

“We should have a lot of people there,” Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison said.

“The kids will be excited no doubt because we only have two home games left.”

Continuing success The Panthers come in winners of four straight games, an undoubtedly overwhelmingly positive game against Denison-Scheslwig and have averaged 53.3 points per game over their last three outings.

Last year, Creston thrashed Atlantic on se-

Creston/Orient-Macksburg senior Cody Crawford (87), senior Zach Carlson (1), and junior Kolby Tomas (22) gang-tackle Denison-Schleswig junior Jaden Langenfeld in the midst of a 42-7 road win over the Monarchs last Friday. Atlantic, the Panthers’ foe Friday, has already lost to Denison-Schleswig 20-17 in week two of this season.

nior night in the rain 64-22 as Chase Shiltz ran for 340 yards and five touchdowns.

The Panthers scored on three passing plays on just seven attempted throws and held a 57-22 lead at half to secure a running clock for the entirety of the second half.

With the expectedly nicer weather, expect the Panther

playbook to open up even a bit more than it did in Denison last week.

“We practice it (more diverse passing looks) every week, but really emphasize throwing the football and we’re capable of doing that and I think you’ll see more of it the next couple of weeks because we gotta be full-go the last couple of

weeks of district play,” Morrison said. “I think our kids will be ready for it. They’ve practiced a lot of it, we just haven’t shown a lot of it.”

Creston/O-M dominated the line of scrimmage in the win over the Trojans last year, accounting for eight tackles for loss.

Trojan Horsepower?

This is a new-look Atlantic

team under the leadership of first-year head coach Mike McDermott.

Morrison expects his team to use some of the same defensive schemes used a week ago against Denison-Schleswig, as the Trojans are a veer-option oriented offense.

University of Iowa’s Kinnick Stadium greets a first-timer IOWA CITY — I’m sure a good portion of you reading at this very moment have had the pleasure of attending an Iowa Hawkeyes football game at Kinnick Stadium.

Never before had I witnessed the Iowa Hawkeyes “Back in Black” entrance live.

(On a random note, never again did I think I’d find anything with Back in Black accompanying it to be entertaining.)

Never before had I had the pleasure of attending a football game at Kinnick before the home opener against Miami.

I’m lucky enough to have access to a pass to take photos. I relished the opportunity to be on the field against Miami of Ohio, a team that on any other day I would be denouncing as a hated rival as an Ohio Bobcat at heart.

I was there to take photos of both teams, one for CNA, and one

Ohiowa musings Kaleb Carter sports writer

for a Mid-American Conference football blog called Hustle Belt (shameless self-promotion for an unpaid gig).

Despite almost forgetting several super-necessary items in the office back in Creston, the road to Iowa City wasn’t a difficult undertaking, especially after having driven three hours total to an internship and back each day last summer.

Finding my way around was simple enough and with the help of whatever clueless midwestern charm I posses, I found my way to the place to find my needed photo vest and the photography room for the press.

I soaked in every minute I was able to spend on the Kinnick Stadium field. Warnings of how close the Kinnick sidelines are to the bleachers didn’t truly get the point across to me. I had to see it to realize just how close fans are to the action.

I loved every second.

The energy in the stadium was electric as nearly 70,000 Hawkeye fans released months of pent-up energy.

Having that bit of nervous energy and awe as I stumbled around the sidelines was a good thing right?

Spartans volleyball registers two straight home wins

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

A first home win is oh so sweet. The Southwestern Community College volleyball team picked up a thrilling win in a five-set affair over Graceland University’s junior varsity team Friday.

The Spartans fought tooth and nail with the Yellowjackets and pulled out a 2220 victory in the final set.

The win pushed SWCC to 2-13 this season.

The two teams traded sets, with Graceland winning the first 25-23. SWCC took the second 25-16. The third went to SWCC 25-23. The Yellowjackets forced a five set with a 25-19 win before the Spartans prevailed. “It was really nice to see the girls finally get over that hump and finish a game,� coach Aleesha Cleaver said.

The Spartans mixed things up with their hitters. Brooke Decker led the way with eight kills. Joining her with

at least a handful of kills were Jade Petersen (6), Alyssa Kuhn (6) and Sydney Maynes (5).

Back row players Taylor Damewood and Zoey Courtier totalled 14 assists each in the longer match. “It was when the setters were able to mix it up as often as possible so I think that was what was working for us that they couldn’t key on one hitter they had to respect every single one of them,�

Cleaver said.

Kassie Craig, Brittany Langendoerfer and Cassidy Tolle combined for 73 digs.

The Spartans played four sets against a secondary Graceland JV unit and lost 3-1 in an unofficial match.

Due to an unspecified disciplinary issue, starting libero Ashley Kopplin did not play in the first match. She played in the second match and recorded 35 digs.

Southwestern had lost in three sets in its last four matches from the previous week of play.

In a way it was a little more surreal to see colleagues from the fields of journalism and media whose work I have come to follow since arriving in Iowa. I even met someone whose work I really respected and enjoy as a follow on Twitter.

The further the day went along, the more natural everything felt. It wasn’t bizarre to be on the same surface as incredibly-talented people right around the same age as me who were playing.

Part of me kicked myself for not taking more training in photojournalism while in college. I am the definition of a camera newbie. Ask me a question about the technical side of my camera and I’m likely to give you an embarrassingly short and uncomplicated answer.

And yet, I still managed to grab decent shots that I would be far from ashamed to put in a portfolio and boast proudly about.

In small intervals, the day was bizarre and weird to experience. The vast majority, however, felt more than natural to be a part of.

While I will say that the drive wasn’t the most fun to make back to Creston, it wasn’t so bad reliving all of the bigger moments in the game that happened just yards before me.

Maybe I sound like an awestruck child, you tell me.

A friend of mine that I grew up playing numerous sports with dropped a Facebook comment on a post my mom made about me going to the game. It wasn’t anything particularly deep or anything, but it struck me at the end of the night when saw it.

It read: “Doing exactly what you always said you would. Proud of you brother.�

The sentiment meant a lot. He was also right. Like everyone else, I have doubts about my impact in the job I’m in, and questions about the future. But when it comes down to it, I’m privileged and awed to have the chance to write about sports for a living.

I get paid to tell you about it.

That’s pretty rad I’d say.

Sign me up again. See you soon Kinnick.

Wednesday vs. Southeastern

On a weird evening of volleyball with plenty of stoppages, confusing calls by refs and gargantuan highs and lows, the Southwestern Community College Spartans put together a run at the end of the fifth set to emerge victorious Wednesday.

SWCC fell in the first set 25-20 and battled strongly to take the second set in what were a highly-contested final few points 25-23. The Spartans then won the third 2517, lost the fourth 25-18, and pulled out a 15-11 win in the fifth.

Better play around the net and a more coordinated effort setting up individuals and blocks in pairs propelled the Spartans in the second, and then third set.

the fourth and lost 25-18, but found a spark collectively in the deciding fifth set. Down 9-6, a Kuhn kill and a Damewood ace put SWCC up 109. After trading a few points, the Spartans picked up a huge play when Swirczek tapped the ball to the floor that was followed by a point from Decker to go up 14-11.

Out of an SCC timeout, the Spartans forced the Blackhawks into another error to win the set and match to a joyous reaction.

Kassie Craig contributed 15 digs and Petersen pounded home seven kills. “It was really nice to see them battle back,� Cleaver said.

Kuhn’s play earned her commendations, as Cleaver noted that Kuhn incorporated several things that they worked on in practice this week. “She was hitting that line shot a lot,� Cleaver said. “That was really working.

She’s also working roll shots and tips to keep the defense on their toes� worked on it and practice and it carried over.�

Decker, a sophomore captain, was dominant at times.

She tallied 11 kills and five blocks. “I told her (Decker) to call for the ball every time. I told Taylor (Damewood) if she’s on, we gotta keep hitting her,� Cleaver said.

Damewood tallied 34 assists.

Sophomore Sydney Maynes of Corning missed Wednesday’s match and is out indefinitely with an undisclosed illness.

defense is maturing. We’re continuing to build depth at various positions. Having depth at quarterback, continuing to get the reads and our backs are carrying the ball well.”

Malausky noted the team even made progress in its week one loss to second-ranked Fremont-Mills.

“We have not only improved since the Fremont-Mills game, but I noticed improvements during the Fremont-Mills game,” Malausky said. “We had a number of guys playing varsity football for the first time that night against a very talented Fremont-Mills team. I saw them play into it and get more comfortable with the flow of the game. We just keep improving every week as a team, and we need to continue to do that in order to be successful.”

Raiders face stiff challenge against second-ranked Pella Christian Mount Ayr enters Friday’s contest against Class 1A second-ranked Pella Christian on a bit of a high. The Raiders bounced back from a week three loss at Central Decatur with a solid 34-7 win last Friday at home over Woodward Academy.

Raiders coach Delwyn Showalter said a good week of practice last week paid off.

“Certainly any time you win, it does give you a little bit of confidence,” Showalter said. “It validates that you’re doing things the right way, you’re on the right track. The kids feel good about what they did last week, felt good knowing hard work pad off for them. It does build some confidnece that you can do it again.”

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, September 22, 2016

The Raiders have improved steadily the past two weeks.

“We’ve done some things pretty well and we’ve struggled at some things,” Showalter said. “For the most part, we’re progressing. We went through a week or two earlier where maybe we weren’t progressing. We’re progressing. That’s the important thing.”

The Raiders will have their hands full with a talented and physical Eagles squad.

“They’re rated number two in the state and there’s a reason for that,” Showalter said. “They’re very, very good. They’re fundamentally sound. They’re well coached.

They have tremendous athletes on both sides of the ball. They make plays.”

Wolverines seek to build on first win Nodaway Valley picked up a needed confidence boost in last week’s win at Riverside, Oakland.

Wolverines coach Steve Shantz noted the team grew in a number of areas last week.

“We got better on both sides of the ball,” Shantz said. “We got into a little bit of a rhythm offensively. We learned the blocking scheme.”

The defense is learning on the fly, with young players having to fill in at spots, including in the secondary.

“Especially on the defensive side of the ball, we need to shore up our keys,” Shantz said. “The biggest thing is our outside run protection is going to have to do better.”

Griswold’s Wing-T offense will pose a challenge for the Wolverines.

“The biggest things for us is reading our keys and catching up with the speed of the game,” Shantz said. “It’s one of those things we’re going to have to go out there and

The Trojans come in off of a 24-7 loss to Winterset, which was the first win of the season for the Huskies.

“We have to make sure we account for the quarterback, the dive-back and the tailback in the pitch-relationship,” Morrison said.

That’s not to say that Atlantic won’t showcase some different looks.

“They will spread you out in different formations in doubles and twins and throw the football but they want to earn their yards on the ground, no doubt about it,” Morrison said.

The biggest offensive threat for the Trojans will be junior running back Noah Bruckner.

In week three, the Trojans used senior Garrett Franken as a wide receiver after he was the team’s quarterback the previous two weeks.

Franken responded, catching three passes from senior teammate Jackson Eden for 103 yards and a touchdown.

That was in a 20-17 loss to Denison-Schleswig, a team that Creston/O-M defeated 42-7 last week.

Franken caught seven passes for 42 yards in the loss to Winterset.

An improved defense Atlantic hasn’t played against the strongest com-

petition in southwest Iowa, but it has at least kept teams from piling up points against it this season thus far. Winterset’s 24 points were the most allowed by the Trojans in four games this year.

The Trojans will run a “bear” front, with three down lineman, two backers walked up outside of the offensive tackles, and with two middle linebackers. A strongside safety will be alinged to the strongside of the ball, and the secondary will often operate out of a cover three look.

Winterset had success on the ground against the Trojan defense, running for 387 yards on 53 carries.

Health The Panthers are notably healthy with only a few exceptions. Brody Frain, who was a starter on both sides of the ball in game one against Boone before sustaining a foot injury, began practicing again this week, but will not play in Friday’s game.

After experiencing continuing heart and blood pressure issues, two-way starting lineman Kadon Hulett was checked out by a specialist in Des Moines Wednesday.

Despite missing practice, Hulett is likely for action Friday.

School-record round for Spartan men’s golf team

CNA photo by KALEB CARTER

SWCC freshmen golfer Stacy Genaille from Manitoba, Canada, has been a leader for the Spartan men’s golfers as the program is out to arguably the best start in its history.

which is good” said North. “Coming in, we knew Kirkwood and DMACC were going to fight for that top spot, but we know we will be hunting all year long. We have to improve every day, on the small stuff especially.”

on Tuesday, but the traveling paid off.

The Spartan men garnered their first ever tournament win this past Monday and Tuesday.

“To the best of my knowledge, we once again hit uncharted territory for Southwestern Golf,” North said. I don’t think we’ve ever had an individual tournament champion, or have earned a solo team championship, and now we do,” North said. “This team is really setting the bar.”

The Spartans posted a team score of 318 to win by 13 strokes over Highland Community College. The Spartans were led by Individual Champion, freshman Stacy Genaille. Genaille shot a tournament-best two-over-par, 74.

“I’m glad to see Stacy get comfortable and do what he is capable of. He’s a solid player that has struggled a bit adapting to golf down here” said North. “On a course that was playing well over 7,000 yards, we performed well.”

Added North: “The guys are pumped to get that elusive victory, and continue to compete amongst themselves well. We’ve got some small things to fine-tune, but I really like the direction we are heading.”

The Southwestern women also competed. Courtney Clark, Evy Wells, and Sydney Goltl all competed well on a very difficult course.

They earned sixth, seventh and ninth respectively. “Spirit Hollow is a beautiful course, and extremely challenging” said North. “They’ve hosted NCAA Championships, are working on hosting PGA and LPGA events, and will host 15 NCAA Division I teams in 10 days.”

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

Like the @Windshields?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Any surprises after Round 1 of the Chase?

GODSPEAK: I thought for sure Chris Buescher would dominate the day.

KEN'S CALL: I'm surprised that Kevin Harvick's luck didn't improve at playoff time.

Maybe this week.

Not particularly. In yet another nod to social media, NASCAR had the Chase teams put their driver’s Twitter handle atop the windshield, where the driver’s last name had previously been listed. It doesn’t hurt anything, and yes, might actually drive a bit more “social engagement” (for the Boys from Macon, that’s what we call new-age tech talk). But it also adds more clutter to a car that has plenty already.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM CHICAGOLAND

What’s with Regan Smith?

Maybe this is why he has never managed to land a steady ride on a top-tier team.

He’s obviously out of the memo loop. In recent years, you may have noticed that NASCAR’s newborns always seem to arrive between Monday and Wednesday, as if modern obstetrics are employed to avoid birth on a race weekend. Regan and wife Megan welcomed new daughter Eliza Grace into the world Sunday, while Ty Dillon subbed for Regan in the No. 7 Cup car.

Who needs a hug?

GODSPEAK: This is a no-brainer. Chase Elliott.

He would have won if not for that super-late caution period.

KEN'S CALL: Aside from Harvickand Chase, probably Kyle Larson, who was on the best roll of his career before finishing 18th at Chicagoland.

How’s your non-winner hopes?

Which non-Chaser might be first to win a Chase race?

GODSPEAK: Chris Buescher.

Say what? OK, Ryan Newman. He needs a win really, really bad.

KEN'S CALL: Gotta be Kasey Kahne, who's in bad need of earning his keep at Team Hendrick.

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar

You may not always find Jimmie Johnson on the track, but you can find him on Twitter with the handle @JimmieJohnson.

NASCAR/GETTY IMAGES

1. Johnson sighting

2. Siren quiet

3. As predicted

Jimmie Johnson came out of his shell and led 118 of 270 laps at Chicagoland, but finished 12th. He got caught speeding off of pit road on Lap 234 and got slapped with a drive-through penalty.

Day over. “I was dumbfounded that happened,” Johnson said.

Back when Bill Elliott would win a Cup Series race, the Dawsonville Pool Room in the Georgia native's hometown would sound its very own siren. They were ready to flip the switch after Chase Elliott led 17 of the last 22 laps. He wound up third. More surprising? The Pool Room gets four stars on TripAdvisor.com.

Chris Buescher is right where everyone expected him to be after Chase Race 1 — bringing up the rear of the field.

Buescher will go into Race 2 at New Hampshire 16th in the 16-car field. Roush Fenway Racing was supposed to provide more support, but the “Chruescher” finished 28th.

So far, so good. Well, pretty good. We like to occasionally see ’em in the corner offices, and few things invite squirming like the thought of a non-race-winning driver seriously contending for the Cup championship. Our three hopes this Chase are Chase Elliott, Jamie McMurray and Austin Dillon. Chase looks to be our best shot, unless he messes up on us and wins a race.

1. Toyota wave Many expect to see a wave of Toyotas battling for top honors at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. In the last eight NASCAR Cup Series races at the 1.058-mile oval, Toyota has won six times. Matt Kenseth won the last two races there in the No. 20 Gibbs Racing Toyota.

Harvick

2. Shocking stat If it seems like you haven’t heard the words “Hendrick Motorsports” as much this season, you are right. Hendrick has not won in the last 22 races dating back to March. Chase Elliott was on his way to ending that streak when a late caution spoiled his day at Chicagoland.

“Nothing is yours until it’s over,” said the driver of Hendrick’s No. 24 car. “I mean that is part of life, man.” The good news? Three Hendrick cars finished in the top 10 Sunday.

WHAT’S ON TAP? Don’t be shocked if Team Toyota dominates at New Hampshire.

3. Chase standings The format of the NASCAR Chase playoff system allows for a driver to go from zero to hero in just one race. A victory automatically advances a Chase driver into the next round, a luxury now enjoyed

by Martin Truex Jr. Winning Race 1 does not guarantee success through the postseason. Brad Keselowski won the first race in 2014 and missed the final. Denny Hamlin won the 2015 playoff opener and finished ninth last season.

Truex

MARTIN TRUEX VS. KEVIN HARVICK: Truex called Harvick out for road rage. “Harvick ran into us and bent our fender, I think on purpose, and we had to come back from that,” Truex said.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Well, Truex won the race and advances to Round 2 of the Chase.

Harvick is now below the 12-driver cut line.

I don’t think Truex will give it much more thought.
