t was a challenging weekend for the 44 registered ballonists competing at the 36th annual Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days in Creston.

The weather cooperated for two of the four planned flights during the weekend celebration.

The fun flight on Friday and Sunday morning’s flight were cancelled because of too much wind.

While the clear skies and calm winds were near perfect conditions for spectators watching the balloons fly Saturday, the lack of wind made picking a di-

rection to fly a tough task.

“The winds were probably calmer than they ever have been,” said Balloon Days Event Coor- Lanning dinator Roger Lanning. “It was difficult for the competition because of the way the winds were so light.”

Matt Fenster of Bellevue, Neb., won the event. Brad Craig and Todd Isley, both of Carlisle, were second and third, respectively.

Shane Arends of Grand Island, Neb., was named rookie of the year.

“The bal- runners. loonists were pushed to get back to the parade in time,” Lanning said. “I flew, and we did not get back to the airport until after 10:20.”

At the airport Saturday afternoon, Lanning said participation numbers in the pedal pull were way up. More than 70 youngsters competed in the pull.

Group to assess state’s BALLOONS: economic development plan Continued from Page 1

DES MOINES (MCT) — The Iowa Partnership for Economic Progress -- the state’s CEO-level, industryled advisory board co-chaired

by Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds -- has commissioned the Battelle Technology Partnership Practice to examine Iowa’s economic development path.

Working with the Iowa Economic Development Authority and regional economic development organizations around the state, the study will review Iowa’s industry drivers and potential growth opportunities. The study will also look at how the state has fared in advancing innovation, job attraction and retention since the last road map was developed in 2004-05.

“Our charge as members of IPEP is stay on top of economic trends that will affect Iowa’s economy and to create an economic development strategy for the state,” Bill Fehrman, president and CEO of MidAmerican Energy and IPEP board member, said in a news release. “Although our members bring much of that knowledge to the table as leaders in their respective industries, having a third-party

source conduct a comprehensive analysis of the state’s resources, assets and existing gaps, will give us a foundation of quantitative and qualitative data on which to base our strategy development.”

The analysis will occur over the next year, starting with meetings among key stakeholders beginning in September.

IPEP has set a number of objectives, including: • Assessing the current position and recent trends in Iowa’s existing and emerging industry clusters across innovation, business attraction and business retention.

• Identifying where Iowa has the capacity to grow in specific market niches relating to its existing and emerging industry.

• Assessing the progress of past industry cluster strategies in Iowa and other economic development programs to identify gaps and provide insights on how better to streamline, revamp and integrate economic development efforts to better advance innovation, business attraction and business retention.

• Developing population, workforce and talent genera-

tion, retention and attraction strategies broadly for supporting Iowa’s economic development efforts as well as focusing on specific requirements for key skill sets of its key industry clusters.

• Assessing other development assets in Iowa critical to advancing the industry clusters and sustaining the growth of its targeted industry clusters and broader economy.

• Developing a forwardlooking road map for Iowa’s economic development that focuses on advancing specific and tailored development plans for the targeted industry clusters, business attraction and retention as well as addressing cross-cutting economic development priorities focused on strengthening Iowa’s economic development tools and development assets.

drew about the same number of participants as last year.

After Saturday afternoon’s competitive flight, the balloonist gathered for the night glow event.

“I think it was probably

the largest crowd we have ever had,” Lanning said. “It was easily the longest night glow.”

The evening event is usually a challenge for balloonist to stay grounded and keep the balloon upright because of wind.

“I was amazed that night, usually you are holding on to the basket for dear life to keep it grounded,” Lanning said.

Lanning said it was great to see so many people in Creston participating in the weekend activities.

Fredrick Raymond Walters, 60, 300 N. Walnut St., was charged with disorderly conduct 2:30 a.m. Saturday at the corner of Walnut and Mills streets.

According to a Creston Police report, officers were called to the 300 block of North Walnut Street five separate times for a male subject trying to enter the residence. Walters lives at the residence, but came home intoxicated and his family refused to let him inside because he gets confrontational when he drinks. Walters was advised to stay on the porch and not beat on the door anymore.

On the fifth time going to the residence, Walters was charged and transported to the Law Enforcement Center.

Walters was released on $300 bond.

The lowdown on the wipe-down Dear Readers: A lot of you responded to a SOUND OFF about bussers wiping tables and seats with the same cloth.

Here is what just a few of you had to say: A Reader, via email, wrote: “Even if the busser cleans the tables in that order, the NEXT table will be wiped off after the seats at the previous table.

The only way around this is to have the busser change cloths after wiping down each table, and I really can’t see owners agreeing to that!”

Jim in Ohio wrote: “I think I can shed some light on this subject. I have worked numerous jobs ... and we always wiped down the table and then the seats, but the cloth was soaked in a disinfectant solution. The washcloths were rinsed out and stored in a bucket that contained this disinfectant solution — it really isn’t as unsanitary as it may look.”

Louise, via email, wrote: “I was a manager at a chain restaurant, and we were required to take two towels with us — one for the seats, and one for the tables. They were two different colors, so there would be no mistaking it. If customers brought it to a manger’s attention, everyone would be reminded of proper procedure.”

Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It’s easy to be confused today, so don’t worry if this is how you feel. You’re not alone. Make an effort to make sure others understand your meaning.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Financial issues are subject to misunderstandings today, so be careful. If shopping, count your change and keep your receipts. Be alert to errors and slip-ups.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the Moon is in your sign, but it is at odds with Neptune. This makes it easy to kid yourself about something.

Don’t do it!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might have second thoughts or self-doubts today.

No worries. We all get these from time to time. However, today it’s as if there are weird spores in the air.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Conversations with others, especially females, are subject to confusion today. However, more than that, they also are subject to deceit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be clear in all your communication with authority figures today. Don’t be tempted to lie in order to save face about something. (You won’t get away with it.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Don’t be a sucker if someone tries to talk you into different ideas about politics, religion and racial issues. It’s good to have an open mind, but today it’s better to be on guard.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to make important decisions about inheritances, shared property or how to divide anything. If you think you’re not getting your fair share, speak up!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Conversations with partners and close friends are subject to confusion and misunderstandings today. Be aware of this. Do your best to be clear in all communication.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Issues at work might be confusing today, because co-workers are either misinformed or deliberately giving you wrong information. (Surely not.) Give others the benefit of the doubt, but double-check everything.

Detroit had 21 consecutive losses at Washington before Sunday’s 27-20 victory.

National Digest

Two for two LOUDON, N.H. — Matt Kenseth made it two for two in the Chase, holding off teammate Kyle Busch to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Kenseth followed his win in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship opener at Chicagoland with his serieshigh seventh victory of the season. Kenseth made his 500th career start and maintained his points lead as the series shifts to Dover. Kenseth joins Biffle (2008) and Tony Stewart (2011) as the only drivers to win the first two Chase races. Stewart went on to win the title.

Stenson wins Cup ATLANTA — Not even among the top 200 players in the world two years ago, Henrik Stenson capped off the best three months of his career with a command performance Sunday in the Tour Championship.

With a birdie to thwart a late charge by Jordan Spieth, followed by three pars from the sand, the 37-year-old Swede closed with a 2-under 68 on Sunday for a three-shot victory to capture the FedEx Cup. He walked away with $11.44 million - $10 million for the FedEx Cup ($9 million of that in cash) and $1.44 million for winning the Tour Championship.

Tiger Woods, the No. 1 seed going into the Tour Championship, never recovered from his 73-71 start. He closed with a 67 to tie for 22nd, his worst finish ever at East Lake, and wound up second in the FedEx Cup.

Steelers 0-3 PITTSBURGH — The Chicago Bears are unbeaten. The Pittsburgh Steelers can’t stop beating themselves.

Major Wright returned an interception 38 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, and Julius Peppers picked up Ben Roethlisberger’s fumble and raced 42 yards for a score in the fourth quarter as the Bears beat the reeling Steelers 40-23 on Sunday night.

Roethlisberger completed 26 of 41 passes for 406 yards, and threw two touchdowns to Antonio Brown, but the Steelers fell to 0-3 for the first time since 2000 thanks to an avalanche of mistakes. Pittsburgh committed five turnovers, four of which led directly to points by the opportunistic Bears.

Jay Cutler passed for 159 yards and threw a 17-yard touchdown strike to Earl Bennett with just under 6 minutes remaining.

Panthers fall in stunning finish ADM scores twice in final 44 seconds

By LARRY PETERSON CNA staff writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

ADEL — A tough district road victory seemed in hand.

Creston/O-M, which faced deficits of 14-3 and 2110 in the first half, overcame some crucial early mistakes to take an 11-point lead on ADM (35-24) Friday night after a clock-eating drive in the fourth quarter.

Then, a bizarre set of circumstances in the final 4:42 resulted in a stunning 36-35 Tiger victory. ADM came away 2-0 in Class 3A District 1 play, and 3-1 overall, while dropping the Panthers to 1-1 and 3-1.

Perspective Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison, almost at a loss for words immediately afterward, reminded his team later that the same thing happened a year ago — the team’s first loss was to ADM in a turnover-marred game on week two of district play — and yet the Panthers were playing Lewis Central on the final Friday for a chance at first place in the district.

“Things are no different, if anything it’s probably even more balanced in our district than last year,” Morrison said Sunday. “Teams will be going through these things week in and week out. We just have to learn from it, get better, and move forward.”

Elsewhere in the district,

Creston/O-M defensive tackle Cory Rathe (59) pulls down ADM quarterback Kolby Whisner (9) for a sack Friday night as teammate Tayler Pettit (57) closes in on the play.

Rathe had four tackles for losses in the 36-35 defeat.

Glenwood knocked off Perry Friday, 31-14; Lewis Central rolled over Atlantic, 420; and in non-district play, state-ranked Harlan lost to Carroll, 14-7. ADM travels to Lewis Central this week in another key matchup.

The Panthers host Perry for homecoming.

In a game of momentum shifts Friday, the Panthers rallied from a 14-3 early deficit to take a 25-21 halftime lead. ADM had scored on a 74-yard pass play on the first play from scrimmage in the game.

In the second half,

Creston/O-M used a ballcontrol offense led by the rushing of Adam Baker, to gain the advantage, 35-24. In building on their five-point halftime lead, the Panthers had a 45-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Phipps to Maxx Walters and Connor Pals’ second field goal of the game. Walters had also caught a TD pass near the end of the first half.

That 30-yarder by Pals for a 35-24 edge with 4:45 left capped a 17-play drive by the Panthers that used 7:11 of the fourth-quarter clock, starting at their own 30-yard

line. Baker carried nine times for 47 yards during the possession.

ADM got the ball back with 4:42 left, and escaped near-doom several times down the stretch. On fourthand-11, quarterback Kolby Whisner hooked up with Joseph Sloss for a 22-yard gain to the Panther 34.

Key ruling A 14-yard pass took it to the 19, where the pivotal play of the game occurred with 2:24 left. A pass from Whisner went in and out of the hands of receiver Jona-

Raiders rush past Tigerhawks, 61-13

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Mount Ayr co-head coach Delwyn Showalter said Friday’s game was the best his team has looked yet this year.

And it was easy to see why, as the Raiders rolled to a 6113 win in the district opener against Colfax-Mingo here on “Shaken Baby Syndrome Awareness Night.”

“I thought in all three phases — offense, defense and special teams — it was our most complete effort of the year so far,” Showalter said. “We hope there’s even better ones to come. We were clicking in all parts of the game.”

The Raider rushing attack ran on all cylinders Friday night, picking up 322 yards on 40 carries, averaging 8 yards per carry as a team.

Mount Ayr, ranked second in Class 1A by the Des

Moines Register, powered its way to a touchdown quickly in the first quarter, marching 69 yards down the field on eight plays — seven of which were runs. Senior quarterback Jacob Sobotka capped the drive with a 3-yard dive up the middle for a score.

The Raider defense was tasked with trying to stop Colfax-Mingo’s high-powered spread passing attack.

The Tigerhawks converted on a third-and-6 on their opening drive, but the Raiders stuffed them after that.

Less than five minutes after the first score, Mount Ayr had already found its way back into the end zone, as Caleb Schnoor scored on a 5-yard run to the right side.

Schnoor’s touchdown run was set up by a Sobotka completion to Kyle Dolecheck on a fade route down the sideline. Dolecheck went up over two defenders to make

the catch, took a hard hit and got a foot down inbounds, while hanging onto the ball for the catch.

“We threw the ball really well,” Showalter said. “I thought that was as good a night as Jake has had throwing the ball. He had a lot of touch on the ball and hit our receivers extremely well.”

Sobotka completed 11 of 17 passes for 196 yards. He also picked up 108 yards on the ground.

One receiver who benefitted from Sobotka being on his game in the passing game was junior Lincoln Martin.

Martin caught three passes for 62 yards — all of them resulting in touchdowns.

Martin s c o r e d Martin from 20

yards, 10 yards and 32 yards.

“He ran some really crisp routes and once he caught the ball, he got upfield with it,” Showalter said about Martin. “I thought it was probably his best ballgame, at least on the offensive side, but he also had to work his tail off defensively, as well.”

Showalter praised Martin, Dolecheck, Erik Freed and Jacob Taylor for their effort defensively defending the Tigerhawks’ receivers, and for coming back to play offense, as well.

Dolecheck intercepted two passes on the defensive side of the ball, while Freed picked off one. Dolecheck finished with four catches for 73 yards on offense, while Freed caught two balls for 33 yards. They both ran the ball well, too, as Dolecheck finished with 34 rushing Please see RAIDERS, page 11A

than Reel as he was hit by Walters in the Panther secondary. Linebacker Gavin Leith scooped up the ball and returned it deep into ADM territory as the visiting crowd cheered wildly in celebration. The sideline chains were moved to indicate Creston/O-M’s possession.

Then an officials’ huddle transpired, and the ruling was an incomplete pass, giving the Tigers new life with the ball at the Panther 19.

“That play, I went over and asked that (official) over there, I said he didn’t catch it!” said ADM coach Mike Whisner. “They looked at it, and they said no, I don’t think he caught it.”

Kolby Whisner converted a fourth-and-one on a keeper to the 8-yard line.

Finally, with only :46 left in the game, he connected with tailback Grant Goeden on a screen pass to the left for a 2-yard touchdown. A twopoint pass went incomplete, leaving the score 35-30 in Creston/O-M’s favor.

Onside kick

ADM kicker Jacob Hutzell stroked an onside kick that went bouncing toward the right sideline. Just before it went out of bounds, past the first wave of Panthers, ADM’s Elijah McCartney pounced on it at the Panther 37-yard line with 34 seconds left.

Panthers reach semifinals at Red Oak

By LARRY PETERSON CNA staff writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — Creston reached the semifinal round of the rugged Red Oak Tournament Saturday, falling to eventual champion Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln after going 2-1 in the preliminary pool round.

Creston (10-5) lost its first match of the day to eventual runner-up Red Oak, 21-12, 21-15. The Panthers then dominated Atlantic 21-16, 21-6; and then captured a key victory over Treynor, 2117, 19-21, 15-12.

Creston coach Polly Luther said it was a successful preliminary round for her team.

“We played with Red Oak in that first round, and handled Atlantic pretty well,” Luther said. “Treynor is a pretty good team, and we got it done with them. We really turned on our passing, which allowed us to get more balls up to target. We had the lead most of the third game. Our kids have been really good about playing hard to the end.”

AL got past the Panthers, 25-16, 25-19 before beating Red Oak in the finals, 2518, 25-16. Red Oak defeated Clarinda in the other semifinal match, 18-25, 25-23, 1511.

“I was very impressed with how we played in the semifinals,” Luther said. “AL is very big, and very experienced. They really get up and hit the ball at you. I remind myself that I look out there, and I see sophomores and juniors. The more experience we get, the better we’re going to be.”

Colo-Nesco 30, East Union 20 COLO — Trailing by two points late in the game, East Union was marching down the field Friday night with a win in sight.

But Colo-Nesco’s Taylor Hill had other plans, as he picked off a Cole Campbell pass and ran it back for a touchdown to give Colo-Nesco a 30-20 win over the Eagles in district play.

“We got the punt back, and were trying to march down with a minute and a half, and Cole threw it and he (Hill) stepped up and made a play, and ran it back for six,” East

Just prior to the pick-six, East Union senior Trevor Barnett had scored on a 1-yard run to close the score to 22-20.

The Eagles attempted an onside kick, and did not recover. But, the East Union defense held strong and forced Colo-Nesco to punt.

East Union recovered four fumbles in the game, but only converted one of those turnovers into points.

The Eagles trailed 22-6 at half, as Hill proved to be difficult to stop in the running game in the first half.

But, Kinyon said, the Eagles made adjustments at halftime and were able to hold him in check in the second half. East Union held ColoNesco scoreless in the second half until the pick-six.

Hill finished with 211 rushing yards for Colo-Nesco.

Barnett led East Union with 51 rush yards on 12 carries and two touchdowns. He also caught two passes for 62 yards.

Mason Gossman caught four passes for 47 yards and scored a 3-yard r u s h i n g Gossman touchdown.

ANITA — After falling behind early on the road, the Southwest Valley Timberwolves battled back for a key 59-20 win over a talented CAM team here Friday.

“We had a lot of respect for CAM going in,” Southwest Valley head coach Kent Bass said. “We knew they had a lot of quality kids and coaches. Early on, they kind of handled us. We didn’t play with a lot of energy. We had a couple of sparks there in the second quarter that kind of catapulted us.”

One of those sparks was a 55-yard punt return for a score by senior Jordan Stuart, putting the Timberwolves on the board, giving them an 8-6 lead.

Bass said it was a lastminute substitution, as Nick Spring normally handles the punt return duties. But Bass felt Stuart could give the Timberwolves a spark, and that’s exactly what he did.

Stuart added three rushing touchdowns in the contest, including a 51-yarder on a quarterback keeper in the fourth quarter.

Zach Barton led the Timberwolves’ rushing attack with 142 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. He recorded the only reception of the night for Southwest Valley — an 19-yarder.

Southwest Valley came up with four interceptions in the game, including one returned 45 yards for a touchdown by Tyler Bissell in the third quarter.

“Tyler’s pick-six was huge for us there in the third quarter,” Bass said.

“That was all film study. He knew what route was Bissell coming and he sat on it. Scott Vanderhoof’s pick was the same. The kids did a great job of film study.”

Spring and Gunnar McCuen also intercepted passes for Southwest Valley, now 4-1 for the season and 3-1 in Eight-Man District 8. The Timberwolves travel to Lenox on Friday to play the Tigers in their homecoming game.

Friday night in a 47-22 nondistrict victory over visiting Wayne of Corydon.

Andrew Rider rushed for 142 and four touchdowns, and Seth Nerness picked up 153 yards and two TDs on 18 carries.

T h a n e Simmons completed Nerness two passes for 28 yards.

After Wayne cut the score to 19-16 before halftime, Rider returned the second-half kickoff for an apparent touchdown, but it was nullified by a penalty.

“After Wayne stopped our drive and took over inside our 30, we got a stop on fourth-and-seven from the 10yard line,” said Murray coach Keith Shields. “That gave us some momentum for the rest of the second half, as we outscored them 28-6 the rest of the way.”

The Mustang got some pressure on Wayne quarterback Trent Moore in the fourth quarter, and Jack Jones came up with a big interception. On the next play, Rider went 50 yards to cap a three-TD Mustang flurry in five minutes.

“Our defensive continued to play well,” Shields said.

“Wayne has a nice group of athletes and gives you a variety of formations you must prepare for.”

Sam Rockhold had 15 tackles for the Mustangs. Four of George Barber’s tackles were for losses, and Nerness had a tackle for loss with 12 total stops.

This is the 60th year of Murray football, and some members of the first Murray

Friday.

The win sets up a big game Friday for the district lead when the Mustangs (4-1 overall, 3-0 district) travels to Adair-Casey.

Adair-Casey running back Clayton Plowman became Iowa’s all-time leader in career rushing yards in eightplayer football, snapping the previous record of 6,389 yards in the first quarter in a 79-14 victory over Mormon Trail on Friday night.

Plowman scored the Bombers’ first touchdown and broke Tyler Tonderum of Armstrong-Ringsted’s mark on the second possession.

Becoming Iowa’s top eightplayer rusher ever moved Plowman to fourth on the national list, and another 30 yards would move him past Zac Cardwell of Lowell, Ore. for third all-time.

With the scores, the senior also moved into third-place in Iowa eight-player history in career touchdowns.

key,” coach Whisner said.

“You work on those things, but you never know if it’s going to happen. It was a real hustle play to get the ball.”

After three incompletions, Creston/O-M was called for pass interference, giving the Tigers the ball on the 21. An ADM procedure penalty brought it back to the 26 with 20 seconds left.

Whisner, who had been under pressure from the Panther line much of the second half, had just enough time to heave it to the left side of the end zone, where Jacob Sloss was covered by both Bryce Briley and Pals.

The pass was tipped in the air by Briley as he went for the interception, and it landed in the lap of Sloss seated in the end zone, for a touchdown with 12 seconds left. A two-point pass failed, leaving it 36-35 with 12 seconds left.

“Forty seconds is a long time when you give them a

short field,” Morrison said.

“We had guys in position.

He (Sloss) was double-covered, and came down with it.”

Phipps’ first pass of the ensuing possession was picked off by ADM’s Darold Baker, clinching the unconventional victory for the Tigers.

“We’ve had a lot of overtime games, some great victories here,” coach Whisner said, “but I’ve never had a game like this. We were getting frustrated there in the second half, and Creston was playing good, physical football. We just kept playing.”

Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison struggled to find the words to describe the mindset of his team, following the shocking loss.

“I don’t even know what to say,” the Panther coach said. “Two and a half minutes left and we’re up by 11,” Morrison said. “We put ourselves in position in the fourth quarter to do what we always do. It just

didn’t work out that way.

We played a physical, hard football game.”

For the game, Baker carried 25 times for Creston/OM for 138 yards. Trevor Frain had two rushing touchdowns. Phipps completed 9 of 23 passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns to Walters. He was intercepted three times.

Whisner was 14-of-32 passing for 251 yards and three TDs. He was intercepted twice. Cory Rathe led a good effort by the Panther defensive line with four tackles for losses.

Penalties continued to plague the Panthers, flagged 11 times for 88 yards Friday.

The varsity game was a mirror image of the freshman contest, in which the Panthers converted a late turnover into the winning touchdown with 1:09 left for a 14-12 victory. That report will appear in the News Advertiser Tuesday along with tonight’s JV contest in Creston.

Turpen, 5, suffers from the effects of Shaken Baby Syndrome. Turpen, who was shaken as an infant, still cannot walk and has a very limited vocabulary.

The Connor Cares Foundation raised funds through the sale of calendars, posters and shirts.

“There were two babies injured in Iowa in July after being shaken by an adult,” said Patty Eaton of the Connor Cares Foundation. “One is suffering daily seizures and is now blind and the second child was taken off of life support by her parents.”

Showalter said the ceremony was a reminder for his players to keep everything in perspective.

“It really was an emotional deal for our guys,” Showalter said. “Patty with the Connor Cares Foundation has visited with our kids several times, and I think it really hit home for us Friday night when D.J. Turpen and his family was there.

“Just to see that little guy’s eyes light up when we handed him the football, that was something,” Showalter continued. “I think our guys understood the enormity of that situation. Here’s a kid who is never going to get the opportunity to play football. We were glad to be a part of that (ceremony) and hopefully raise awareness for Shaken Baby Syndrome, and hopefully we gave DJ and his family a little lift on Friday night.”
