hall of fame inductions thelda bender williams

CHS grad shines in land of the sun EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the third in a three-part series on 2013 inductees into the Creston Community Schools Hall of Fame at 12:15 p.m. Friday in the CHS auditorium.

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA staff writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

As an eighth-grader at Creston Junior High, Thelda (Bender) Williams was surprised to win a special award.

“I won the ‘I Dare You Award,’ which said to the recipient — I dare you to go do something extraordinary with your life,” Williams said.

The 1959 Creston High School graduate did just that. She is serving the second of two stints as a member of the Phoenix, Ariz., City Council. In 1994, she was elected by the council to serve as interim mayor of the city of nearly 2 million residents after the resignation of Mayor Paul Johnson.

She served out that term, then chose to return to her council duties. She was defeated in the 1995 election and returned to work at the Maricopa County Sheriff’s DepartWILLIAMS ment, continuing her work in prisoner rehabilitation and development of a unit for inmate care of abused and neglected animals.

Having retired from the sheriff’s department in 2007, Williams was again elected to the Phoenix City Council and continues to hold that position, representing a population of 200,000 residents.

In recognition of her many accomplishments in Phoenix city government, as well as the local sheriff’s department, Williams will be inducted Friday in the Creston Community Schools Hall of Fame in the Distinguished Alumni category.

“I was stunned,” she said, when asked about her reaction at being informed

by Bill Messerole, Creston High School principal. “I didn’t even know they had a hall of fame. I’m very honored, very proud of it.”

She and fellow inductees Tim Kenyon and the late Curt Olson will be honored during homecoming ceremonies 12:15 p.m. Friday at Creston High School.

They were selected by a committee of school personnel and community mem-

Early years

Retired Southwestern Community College math instructor Dee Ann Stults was a CHS classmate with both Williams and her husband, Melvin Williams, a retired Phoenix police officer.

“Thelda and I were the two girls in advanced math class with all the boys,” Stults said. “She always had ability.”

Williams did not enter politics that early. She was not a part of CHS student government. But she was active in vocal music, theater, GRA (Girls Recreation Association) and the school’s first Peppers dance team.

She was working in an Omaha meatpacking company’s office, where Melvin had a position with JC Penney Stores, when Melvin was transferred to Phoenix in 1971. He soon after switched careers to law enforcement there.

Steve Green update

Iowa Assistant Attorney General Scott Brown said he recently met with state auditors and the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation and hopes to have a decision soon regarding the case involving former Creston Water Works Manager Steve Green Brown will determine if criminal charges will be filed against Green and what those charges will be. If it is decided no charges will be Green filed, Brown said he will write a letter to Union County Attorney Tim Kenyon explaining why no charges were filed.

Green was paid almost $90,000 in improper and unsupported disbursements between July 2005 and November 2012.

Creston Water Board members terminated Green’s contract in late June. In August, the board voted unanimously to appoint Steve Yarkosky as the new general manager in addition to his duties as plant manager.

Lenox homecoming queen and king announced

With her husband often working evenings, Thelda began coaching their daughters’ ball teams, and saw a need for better facilities. That was the seed that sprouted the career in public service she still maintains.

“I started lobbying the parks department and the city of Phoenix for ballfields,” Williams recalled. “Once I made a couple of appearances at city council meetings, I got involved as a neighborhood advocate, and it went from there.”

She already had leadership experience, serving as the first female

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA staff reporter jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

The start of fall and slightly cooler weather are sure signs the holiday season is getting closer.

Tickets go on sale Monday for the fourth annual Holiday to Holiday Extravaganza sponsored by the Creston News Advertiser on Oct. 28.

They are $5 in advance or $8 at the door. See the sidebar for ticket locations.

The event showcases about 30 local vendors exhibiting Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s holiday foods and crafts in the Southwestern Community College

gymnasium.

“It is really going to range this year from people selling craft items to food,” said CNA Advertising Director Craig Mittag. “We have a bunch of different kinds of booths and a lot more home businesses.”

The doors open at 4:30 p.m., and spectators have the chance to

visit with the merchants, sample a variety of treats and preview what local businesses will have available for the holiday shopping season.

“It’s always a lot of fun, there is always a lot of good freebies and goodies to sample along the way,” said CNA Publisher Rich Paulsen.

“It is also a chance to get to know some of the local merchants.”

The main show kicks off at 7 p.m. featuring the Creston News Advertiser’s Dennis “Kyp” Kuyper.

He will be joined by Henry A. Wallace Country Life Center Chef Katie Routh.

Kathy Rieck from the “Everyday Living” show on KSIB radio will join Kuyper for some cooking tips after the main cooking event.

“We wanted an all local show,” Mittag said. “We add things so that it is not all cooking.”

Area retailers will have a chance to show off their seasonal clothing and accessories during a style show.

Cooking contest

The deadline for this year’s Holiday to Holiday pie contest is slated for Oct. 7.

Entries can be for fruit, cream, other or most unique pie recipes.

It must include a list of all ingredients with measurements, step-bystep preparation with cooking directions and contact information.

The days of every marching band blasting “Louie Louie” are gone, and the Cyclone marching band has moved on to cover artists like Skillet, Kansas and Rush in recent years. The band’s modern covers have also gained the attention of Rolling Stone Magazine. The band’s cover of No Doubt’s “Spiderwebs” earned them a spot on the magazine’s Top 10 list of “Mind-Blowing College Marching Band Cover Songs.”

Rolling Stone wrote of the band’s version of the song, which was on No Doubt’s third album: “It makes sense in a way: Tragic Kingdom

OPINION Harvest time is upon us

If you have noticed an uptick in the number of combines and tractors on the road lately, it is harvest time in southwest Iowa.

The beans look to be about ready to go in a lot of fields. My understanding is the corn is still at a pretty high moisture content at this point and may need a little more time before the corn hits the bins.

It will be interesting to see how the crops turn out after the dry summer. I would guess the yields will be down some. But, with the lack of rain this summer, it could have been worse. The droughtresistant seeds help so that yields are at least about average compared to several years ago.

A good reminder is to watch out for all the combines and trucks on the road over the next month. We

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

don’t need a fatality during the harvest season.

Fall This week is the first week of fall. It is my favorite time of the year. Less humidity and cooler temps make it easier on most of us humans!

The hot, dry weather has seemed to make the trees a little slower on changing color this year. Usually, by now, we are starting to get some good colors in the foliage, but that looks to be lagging behind this year. It should make for a colorful October.

Tax time Monday, the first half of your property taxes are due. The local counties, schools and cities can always use your money!

Gas It’s nice to see the price of gas going down. I can never figure out why it is always higher here than most of the rest of the state.

The price at the Nebraska City exit on the Iowa side has been $3.25 for about the past two weeks. As of today, it is still $3.39 a gallon here. It is also cheaper if you go 30 miles in any direction from Creston. Stuart, Osceola and Red Oak all have cheaper prices.

What gives?

Pork Friday Tomorrow the Creston News Advertiser will be hosting its annual Customer Appreciation Day. We will have a pulled pork

luncheon starting at 11 a.m. and going until the food is gone. We appreciate all of our readers and business associates, and this is one way we can say “Thank You” for all your support throughout the year. It looks like the weather is going to cooperate.

Employment It is kind of interesting to see the employment figures creeping up some in southwest Iowa. The August figures just released show the unemployment rate for Union County going up 1 percent for the month. The number of people employed is the same. It looks like a number of people are trying to rejoin the workforce again. Judging by the number of job openings in the paper, I would say there are still plenty of jobs out there for folks. I’m guessing it is the usual story. The skill sets are not match-

ing up with the job qualifications.

Saturday All of you Creston supporters will have a chance to put $20 in the booster club treasury by getting up and driving a Ford. The Creston Booster Club can garner $6,000 if you go out and test drive a Ford at the football stadium from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

It is always fun to test drive a new car. Plus, you can help out a good cause along the way.

High Lakes A reminder, the High Lakes group annual banquet will be Oct. 10 at Three Mile Lodge. See Tom Lesan for a ticket to the fun event.

Breaking Bad scored record-high ratings for AMC HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Breaking Bad scored recordhigh ratings for AMC last weekend. The last episode will air Sunday. From now on, if you want to watch psychotics murdering each other over white powder and grass you’ll have to flip the channel over to NBC’s Sunday Night Football.

NBC announced it’s looking for an actor to play Johnny Carson in the upcoming NBC miniseries about the comic’s life. What a waste. If NBC can find a young man who can act like Johnny Carson, they ought to forget the miniseries and give him the Tonight Show.

The moral chaos of ‘Breaking Bad’ When Walter White makes his exit upon the series finale of “Breaking Bad,” TV will lose its most compelling depiction of evil.

The brilliant high-school chemistry teacher turned crystal-meth kingpin, played by actor Bryan Cranston, is transformed into a loathsome killer before our eyes.

Series creator Vince Gilligan says he set out to make Mr. Chips into Scarface. In Walt’s steady descent, the self-styled family man unleashes a moral chaos that has a destructive logic as stark as the show’s New Mexico setting.

When the unassuming Walt — a nonsmoker — is diagnosed with lung cancer, his family is already straining to make ends meet. He has a teenage son with cerebral palsy and a baby on the way. How will he pay for top-notch treatment? Will he die and leave his family with nothing? His brotherin-law, a Drug Enforcement Administration agent, inadvertently gives him the idea of producing meth for easy cash, and it turns out that he is exceptionally good at it.

From the bloody fallout from his first “cook,” Walt gets a glimpse at the howling hell that beckons.

He enters the world of drugs anyway, in the illusory belief that he can keep the furies at bay through force of will and intellect.

When we first meet Walt, he embodies a workaday goodness. He’s the high-school teacher in front of a bored classroom. He’s the father helping hike up his disabled son’s pants. He’s the breadwinner work-

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

ing a part-time job at the carwash to help make ends meet.

By the end, he’s the basis of an international meth network. He’s capable of having multiple potential witnesses against him killed simultaneously. He’s a prodigious and talented liar.

The sin that undergirds it all is pride and a related thirst for power. Walt could have accepted help with his medical bills from an old college roommate who achieved great business success, but he’s offended at accepting charity. He will maintain control through his own meth-fueled earning power.

In so doing, he becomes a cashaddled slave to greed.

In the final season, we see him rolling a barrelful of his cash through the desert, in a Sisyphean march under the sun to save some of his millions. Even as his cancer returns after a remission, he is at war against the old adage that “you can’t take it with you.”

He schemes to find a way to leave his ill-gotten riches to his family, to make, in his mind, all his crimes worthwhile.

He is a classic example of what the late political scientist Edward Banfield called “amoral familism,” the inability to work “for any end

transcending the immediate, material interest of the nuclear family” that characterizes backward societies and the mob. His supposed loyalty to his family, though, is only a thin tissue of self-justification.

Walt is a father figure to his former student and meth partner Jesse Pinkman and the real father to his teenage son Walt Jr. — both of whom he unhesitatingly manipulates for his own ends. His truest loyalty is to his own swollen ego.

It tells him he is finally getting the riches he deserves and that he is smarter than everyone trying to compete with or catch him. His selfish choices will rip apart his family and put it in mortal danger.

One reason that “Breaking Bad” is so gripping is that the viewer can’t help rooting for Walt even when he’s at his most odious because the memory of the put-upon underdog still lingers. Walt is a reminder of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s axiom that the line between good and evil runs through every man. But once he decides he can be his own moral arbiter, as National Review’s Jonah Goldberg notes, there’s no stopping his downward slide.

The critics call “Breaking Bad” the best show on television. Some other series will claim that honor soon enough. But there may never be a character who better illustrates the way to perdition.

Scholarship recipients chosen for 2013 Iowa Museum Association conference ELK HORN — Cynthia Sweet, executive director of the Iowa Museum Association (IMA) and IMA Board Vice President Al Harris Fernandez, Sioux City Art Center and IMA scholarship committee chairperson, have announced the recipients of three scholarships to attend the 2013 Iowa Museum Association annual meeting and conference to be held Oct. 6-8 in Sioux City.

Applicants for the scholarship must be firsttime attendees of an Iowa Museum Association annual meeting and conference and work as an employee or volunteer at a nonprofit art center, museum, botanical garden, arboretum, historic site, zoo or science center located within the state of Iowa. Students enrolled in a degree program involving any of the above fields of study were also encouraged to apply. The scholarship covers the conference registration fee and conference meals.

No lodging, extra meals, or extra workshops are included.

The recipients of the 2013 scholarships include Madeline Mongar, originally of Creston.

Mongar is a recent graduate of Northwest Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history/public history. She has just begun a one-year internship as an inventory assistant at the Danish Immigrant Museum in Elk Horn, after which she hopes to at-

tend graduate school.

The 2013 IMA conference will kick off Oct. 6 with an intern job fair at the Sioux City Public Museum. This is an opportunity for students to match their internship requirements with projects available at Iowa museums.

Students statewide are invited to attend; there is no charge for participating. Preregistration is only required for museums.

Oct. 7 will begin with a 9 a.m. plenary address given by Deborah Durham, director of the Iowa Department of Economic Development, at the Sioux City Art Center.

Durham will key her remarks to the conference theme “Building Bridges: Growing Resources.”

Durham’s experience with statewide issues such as tourism, economic drivers and quality of life give her a unique perspective on the role of museums as community partners in these core areas.

Throughout the day, conference goers will choose from multiple class offerings and attend the Iowa Museum Association annual meeting and luncheon.

The morning of Oct. 8 additional classes are offered. The conference ends at noon.

The IMA conference is open to anyone interested in the work of Iowa’s museums. Conference information is available at www.iowamuseums.org or by contacting Sweet at imasweet@cfu.net or 319239-2236.

HOME Ability-to-Repay Rules The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Ability-to-Repay rules go into effect January 2014. The Ability-to-Repay rule protects borrowers from the risky practices that caused many families to lose their home. Some of the requirements are: 1. Financial information must be supplied and verified. Lenders must document borrowers’ employment, income, debt obligations, credit history, etc.

2. A borrower must have sufficient assets or income to pay back the loan. Lenders must evaluate a consumer’s debt-to-income ratio.

3.

Teaser rates can’t hide a mortgage’s true cost. Lenders must evaluate a borrower’s ability to repay the principal and interest over a long term, not just during an introductory rate.

Zillow says that the Midwest offers the best deals for buyers. Iowa is #3 in the lowest mortgage payments.

he cooler temperatures of fall may be on their way, but cooler weather also brings an increase in home fires. According to the National Fire Protection Association, more than half (54 percent) of home struc­ ture fire deaths occur in the cooler months of November through March.

The International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) recommends that every household have an escape plan in place, yet, in a recent survey by Omnibus, 44 percent of people reported that they did not have an escape plan for their home.

On average, families have less than three minutes from the time the first smoke alarm sounds to escape a fire.

“Every second counts when it comes to escaping a home fire,” said Chief Metcalf, president and chairman of the IAFC. “That’s why families need to have an escape plan in place, and ensure they have working smoke alarms to provide those critical early warning signals in the event of a home fire.

The “Change Your Clock Change Your Battery” program aims to help keep families safe by sharing the reminder to replace the batteries in your home’s smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors each year when you change your clocks for daylight saving time. It’s part of the Energizer philosophy — that’s positivenergy — which represents the company’s commitment to making a positive impact on the world. Here are some addi­ tional tips from the IAFC and Energizer to help protect your family room by room.

Change Your Clock Change Your Battery Daylight saving time ends Sunday, Nov. 3, 2013, and marks the 26th anniversary of the “Change Your Clock Change Your Battery” program, created by Energizer and the International Associ­a­tion of Fire Chiefs (IAFC). This program reminds people to change the batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when they change their clocks.

Other fire safety prevention measures include: n Test

your smoke alarms. Make sure all alarms work by pushing the test buttons. n Clean the smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Ensure the sensitivity of your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors by clean­ ing them each month with a vacuum.

n Count Your

Smoke Alarms. Be sure there is at least one smoke alarm installed on every level of your home, including one in every bedroom and outside of each sleeping area. n Change Your Flashlight Batteries. Keep flashlights with fresh batteries at your bed­ side for help in finding the way out and signaling for help in the event of a fire. n Replace your smoke alarms. The IAFC recommends replacing smoke alarms every 10 years and having a combination of both ionization and photo electric smoke alarms to keep you alert to all types of home fires.

Draw a floor plan of your home and find two ways out of every room. Sketch the exit routes clearly on the floor plan. A downloadable escape plan grid can be found on the Energizer Bunny Facebook page. If an upstairs window is one of the escape options, make sure you have a fire escape ladder long enough to reach the ground. Make sure every adult knows how to use it. Adults should be responsible for helping younger children. Assign an outside meeting place so if the family escapes from different routes, you can quickly locate each other.

Use the following checklist to eliminate as many fire hazards in your home as possible: n Make sure you have a working Bedrooms smoke alarm in each room, In a recent study, almost half (44 including the living room. percent) of families did not know the peak time for home fire fatalities Kitchen is when most people are asleep Cooking is the leading cause of (between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.).

Iowa community college tuition up average of 2.8 percent DES MOINES (MCT) — Two years of significant increases in state aid to community colleges have enabled school officials to slow the growth in their tuition rates, according to a state report issued Wednesday.

The average tuition for a full-time student enrolled for 15 credit hours at Iowa’s 15 community colleges increased by $113 to $4,210 for the current school year. That represented an overall rise of 2.8 percent for students who are paying tuition and fees that rank 44 percent above the national average, according to data contained in a report issued by the Iowa Department

of Education.

Tuition ranged from $4,500 at Northeast Iowa Community College in Calmar to $3,833 at North Iowa Area Community College in Mason City.

When fees charged by 10 of the 15 colleges were added, total per-student costs ranged from $5,220 at Iowa Valley Community College in Marshalltown to $4,020 at Eastern Iowa Community College in Davenport.

The average mandatory fee charged by community colleges increased to nearly $347 in fiscal 2014.

“I think the overall pattern we’re seeing this year is slight downturns in enroll-

ment and slight increases in tuition with respect to that,” said Steve Ovel, executive director of governmental relations at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids.

“Because of the significant increases in state general aid that we’ve received the last two years, it’s really allowed us to hold tuition down to a fairly minimal level.”

The challenge for colleges in setting tuition levels has been a shift in funding sources in

recent years, Ovel said. State support accounted for more than 45 percent of community college funding in fiscal 1999, but that gradually dropped to 30 percent in fiscal 2012 while tuition and fees rose from 39 percent to 58 percent of operating resources during that same period.

New students at CHS need to be not only leave behind precious memories, but included too and that can be a challenge at times. they also leave behind valued traditions. As “Whenever I move, I try to make an effort generations change so do the traditions, some to make friends with everyone, popular and slowly fade away while others will forever leave unpopular. Some people find that weird, and think their mark on Creston High School. that you need to find one group.

Lidiya is involved in tell a different story to the customs and traditions that are done today.

When Mr. Mullin was in school, “Classes spent days working on class floats at the old bus barn. Everyone got involved and showed up to work on it every day until the parade. We would use chicken wire and tissue paper and in the

parade we were allowed to ride the float. One year, there was even a Biology float because Creston was playing against the Chariton Mustangs. Mr. Ires, the Biology teacher, had the skeleton of a horse, so, we put it onto a float and basically had the message of Beat the Mustangs.”

Now the class’ floats are made in Mullin different destinations and it’s very hard to come across students who are willing to help out with the float or even the idea. Lack of participation can diminish the quality of the floats from years past.

Dress up days were even different years ago, everyone dressed up for the days because it showed school pride. Lately it seems that only a handful of students even participate in the dress up days anymore. However, thisd week’s pajama and neon/black outs days were successful. There are times dress up days almost require a trip to the store, but days like these make it easier for everyone to participate.

Mrs. Thatcher, “It just seems like the students don’t feel the need to show school pride.”

For students however, the lack of school spirit is more complicated than being uninterested or lazy. A handful of interviewed students feel unwanted when trying to get involved.

A senior stated, “every activity is run by the same clique and if you’re not friends with them, you feel uncomfortable. It’s either you’re in or out, there’s no in between.”

This feeling was echoed by other students as well.

Contrary to this opinion other students believe it’s a waste of time and their efforts aren’t needed. A sophomore described this by saying students feel “too cool” to get involved with school functions.

Regardless of circumstances, it is apparent we need to bolster school spirit.

Whether it is a matter of students being preoccupied, even with little time in their schedules, students can still find small ways to show spirit. A word of advice from Mrs. Thatcher, “enjoy your high school years, you never get to do them again”.

ENTERTAINMENT

A lion’s share of caution Dear Heloise: Your informative column is faithfully read and appreciated daily.

It’s imperative that I add to your column my personal experience about adults being aware of kids WALKING BEHIND THEM on trails.

Years ago, my family ventured on a well-traveled, seemingly safe short trail in Big Bear, Calif. My three daughters were ages 9, 7 and 3. My instincts prompted me to hold the hand of my 3-yearold, despite her attempts to break lose. The other two daughters were instructed to walk a few steps in front.

After 15 minutes, I decided to pick up and carry my youngest the rest of the way, as she continued trying to free herself from my grasp. Within 20 minutes, we returned to the car, parked a short distance away. As we pulled out, we passed the trail where we had just exited. Imagine our shock as the car passed a mountain lion sitting at the end of the trail with its keen eyes still on us. It obviously had stalked us, waiting for the opportunity to steal my little one and drag her away. — Linda B. in California Yikes! How frightening!

Your instincts were right.

Never let children lag behind you. You should be able to see them at all times. My husband,

Friday, Sept. 27, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Small appliances might break down, or minor breakages could occur that will disrupt your home routine today. Be patient with family members in order to avoid arguments.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Pay attention to everything you say and do, because this is an accident-prone day for you. The accident might occur because you are distracted.

Forewarned is forearmed.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep an eye on your money today. You might find money; you might lose money. It’s a good idea to guard your possessions against loss or theft.

Better to be safe than sorry.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel rebellious today or impulsive. Guard against knee-jerk reactions that make you do things you might later regret. If you act with discipline, you’ll have no regrets.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a restless day for you. Just accept this and go with the flow. By tomorrow, everything is back to normal. But today requires patience and inner discipline. (No biggie.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A friend might surprise you today or catch you off-guard.

Alternatively, you might meet someone who is a real character. Someone bizarre! Perhaps this person will open new doors for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might be surprised at what a boss or parent says to you today. Try not to overreact. And definitely don’t quit your day job. Give everything a sober second thought.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel plans will be interrupted today, perhaps canceled or delayed. Similarly, school plans might be canceled or rescheduled. It’s just one of those things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Stay in touch with your bank account and financial situation, because a few surprises could catch you offguard. Make sure your checks aren’t bouncing like rubber balls.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Partners and close friends are hard to predict today.

Someone might demand more space in the relationship or say

Hints from Heloise David, whether riding motorcycles or out on walks, always has me in front of him for this same reason. I’ve been known to wander, too! — Heloise YOUR OWN PEN Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Asbury Park Press in New Jersey. My hint is to always carry my own pen, especially during the cold-andflu season. I certainly don’t want to use the pen provided at the pharmacy, as odds are there will be many germs on it.

The same thing goes for wherever a signature is required, whether it be a store, bank or even signing your child out of school. — Karen R., Freehold, N.J. Very good point, and don’t forget the hand sanitizer, either! — Heloise CLAM-AND-SHRIMP MEAL Dear Heloise: Let’s face it, there are only so many ways you can cook shrimp, but here’s a new recipe that’s easy and tasty: • Heat a can (about 14 ounces) of New England clam chowder

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

• Blanch a 1-pound package of peeled shrimp in boiling water for about a minute.

Drain thoroughly.

• Add the shrimp to the clam chowder. The result is tasty shrimp covered with a lovely seafood sauce.

— Ronald N., Alexandria, Va. Sounds yummy, but I think there are more than a dozen ways to fix shrimp — just ask Bubba from the movie “Forrest Gump.” — Heloise DARING DEODORANT Dear Heloise: I play soccer at the collegiate level and have two practices a day. My teammates and I have found that women’s deodorant doesn’t last through practice.

However, men’s deodorant does. Although it’s a little unconventional, I can’t rec- BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker ommend it highly enough to female athletes! — Ellie R. in San Antonio 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@Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. (c)2013 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

Horoscope something that puzzles you.

Just be patient. Slowly, slowly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Computer crashes, power outages, staff shortages and canceled meetings are some reasons your workday will be interrupted. Just grin and bear it.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Parents take note: This is an accident-prone day for your kids, so be vigilant.

Fortunately, the influence is relatively minor.

YOU BORN TODAY You

appear casual, witty, urbane and cool to others —and you are these things. You can be very successful. However, privately, whether you succeed or fail is terribly important to you, which is why you drive yourself so hard. You are talented, versatile and capable of success in many areas. This year will be social and funloving. All your relationships will improve.

Murray’s Andrew Rider nears national return record ■

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

MURRAY — It’s Friday night and the lights switch on.

This is where playmakers shine.

Murray’s Andrew Rider is a playmaker.

Once the ball is snapped and it leaves the foot of the opposing team’s punter, Rider starts tracking the ball.

He takes one last peak to see where his blockers are, and then, he makes sure he securely catches the ball.

Then, it’s showtime. And Rider does Rider what he does best — he makes plays.

Rider has become one of the state’s most prolific playmakers on the football field, and he’s nearing a mark that would make him one of the nation’s best playmakers.

Rider ranks first in Iowa history with six career interception returns for a touchdown. That mark puts him one behind the national record set by Dick Maurer of Oregon in 1969.

He is second all-time nationally in interception returns for a touchdown in one season, with the four he has returned this year. He’s one short of the national record in that category.

Rider is first all-time in Iowa history for career punt returns for a touchdown with nine. The all-time national record is 11 punt returns for a touchdown, putting the shifty senior within reach of that record.

He is currently tied for second all-time in the state of Iowa for career kickoff

Murray senior Andrew Rider (28) returns a punt for a touchdown against Ankeny Christian Academy in a Sept.

6 Mustang win over the Eagles. Rider sits just two punt returns shy of tying a national record, and one interception return short of tying a national record.

returns for a touchdown with six.

Rider never expected to be in a position where he was breaking state records and would have a chance to break national records.

“It didn’t really cross my mind,” he said. “All I really wanted to do was play football and start and play for the Mustangs.”

Return specialist But what makes Rider such a good returner on the football field?

“I think part of it is he has excellent vision and he sees holes ahead of time,” Murray head c o a c h K e i t h Shields said. “The other thing about him is his ability to stop Shields and make a cut and re-accelerate better than anybody I’ve ever had around here. You put all those things together and he’s had an outstanding career for us in all phases of the game, but in the return game, especially.”

For Rider, it’s all about trusting his teammates and his teammates trusting him.

Winning the special teams battle on the football field is an important part of the

Pizza Specials

game for Rider and the rest of the Mustangs.

“You always want a good special teams,” he said. “I think that’s what gets our momentum going as a team, gets us fired up.”

Kick vs. punt On punt return, once Rider has caught the ball, he has just a split second to make his decision where he’s going.

That initial decision, along with picking up a good block from his teammates goes a long way in deciding the fate of that particular return.

“That’s one less person to worry about,” he said about picking up a block. “That gives us a higher chance of getting a touchdown and giving our offense a break.”

Rider said punt returns require a little bit of luck, much more so than on a kick return, where he knows he’ll have a wall of blockers.

“On a punt, it’s just kind of whoever gets their guy, and I guess I’d say it’s luck,” he said. “Just go with the flow — whoever makes the blocks, go that way.”

Shields said that approach is by design for the Mustangs.

“In particular, on a punt return, it’s a situation where we don’t even set up a return right or a return left,” Shields said. “Part of our strategy most of the time has been for our defenders to attack

Since moving from linebacker last year to safety this year, Rider has found himself picking off opposing quarterbacks much more often. In fact, he had an interception return for a touchdown in Murray’s first four games this year.

It’s an area of the game that Shields believes he’s really improved this year.

“His pass defense has improved,” Shields said. “He has the ability to break on the ball, and if he gets his hand on the ball, he has the ability to make plays.”

It’s a different approach for Rider, now that he’s at safety.

“Last year I was at linebacker and was trying to take a step forward and reading and trying to come in on the runs,” he said. “Now, I’m back at safety and have to relax and always think pass first, and step back and read.”

Rider would like to continue his playing career after

the other team’s punt team and keep them from getting off the ball, and give Andrew and our other returners the opportunity to use his skills and make plays. There’s a lot of blocks that have been made over the years that have sprung him for touchdowns, but there’s a lot of natural ability in those, as well.”

Shields and Rider agree the most memorable return of Rider’s career so far, was his return of the opening kickoff in last year’s historic state semifinal game against Gilbertville Don Bosco in the UNI-Dome last year.

“I broke my wrist at the end of the our season against Lamoni and missed all of our playoff games,” Rider said.

“I had a full-arm cast on my wrist. I got it cut off halfway down so I could play, just the day before the game.

“I got out there, beginning of the game and they kick it off and I take it back for a touchdown,” he continued.

“The crowd yelling and all the adrenaline rush, it’s just something I’ll never forget.”

The Numbers Game

42

Mariano Rivera will end his career with 42 postseason saves, matching his jersey number.

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

National Digest

Tigers clinch MINNEAPOLIS — Max Scherzer earned his 21st win and the Tigers became AL Central champions for the third straight year by beating the Minnesota Twins 1-0 on Wednesday night.

Scherzer spun one more solid start for the AL Cy Young Award voters to consider, except for the season-high six walks and 123 pitches. He struck out 10 and lowered his ERA to 2.90, ensuring he’ll finish the season with the most wins in the major leagues. Jordan Zimmermann, the next closest, has 19 for Washington.

Yanks tumble NEW YORK — The end came quietly for this year’s New York Yankees. No celebrations. No October baseball.

Curtis Granderson was batting in the eighth inning Wednesday night when the Cleveland Indians completed a 7-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. And with that, the Yankees were mathematically eliminated from post-season contention in the middle of the season’s final week, even before they finished an 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.

New York failed to make the post-season for the first time since 2008 and for only the second time in 19 years. Mariano Rivera will be in the bullpen Thursday night for his final game at Yankee Stadium — he’ll be there in a regular season game with nothing at stake for New York, rather than on the post-season stage where he solidified his credentials as the greatest relief pitcher ever.

Freeman cut TAMPA, Fla. — Less than five seasons are declaring Josh Freeman was the future of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the struggling franchise is tying its hopes to another rookie quarterback.

Coach Greg Schiano benched Freeman in favor of untested Mike Glennon, two days after insisting the former first-round draft pick remained the starter because he gave the Bucs the best chance to win.

On Wednesday, Schiano said several times Glennon now gives the Bucs the best chance to win.

The coach said he changed his mind after meeting Tuesday with general manager Mark Dominik, and later discussing the situation with ownership — which signed off on the move.

Miller starts COLUMBUS, Ohio — A lot of top college teams have trouble finding one quality quarterback.

No. 4 Ohio State has two.

The problem for Ohio State coach Urban Meyer is he can only play one at a time and both have played well enough to start.

Braxton Miller, back from an injured knee, will get the starting nod against No. 23 Wisconsin on Saturday night, Meyer said after Wednesday’s practice.

Bounce-back needed again in Perry matchup

By LARRY PETERSON

Rivera

Section

The Creston/O-M football team finds itself in a familiar situation going into Friday’s homecoming game against Perry.

A year ago, the Panthers were riding high at 3-0, ranked second in the state in Class 3A, before being tripped up by ADM at home. The next week they rebounded to defeat Perry, 32-13, on the way to earning a playoff spot in District 1.

This year, Creston/O-M is coming off a heartbreaking 36-35 loss at ADM, after the Tigers scored twice in the final 44 seconds to overcome an 11-point deficit.

Now, the Panthers sit at 1-1 in district play and 3-1 overall. Perry is 0-2 and 1-3 after falling to Glenwood last week, 31-14. A week earlier, Harlan knocked off the Bluejays, 42-14.

Perry began the season with a 45-14 victory over Greene County (Jefferson) before losing a tight one to state-ranked Boone, 17-15.

“They are a good football team,” Panther coach Brian Morrison said. “I’d say they’re every bit as good as ADM and Glenwood. I just think G l e n w o o d Morrison kind of wore on them at the end.”

A 21-0 run in a six-minute stretch of the second half lifted Glenwood to its 31-14 victory last Friday.

Perry trailed only 3-0 at halftime, and took a shortlived 7-3 lead early in the third quarter.

Quarterback Will Whiton, one of the top athletes in all of District 1, ran a delayed quarterback sneak, found a seam and scampered for a 19-yard touchdown.

“No. 15 (Whiton) is very dynamic,” Morrison said.

“He doesn’t throw a great ball, but a lot of it is set up off his scrambling ability and their ability to get open. He’s fast. He took third in the state in the 100 in 3A. If he gets out, he’s gone. We have to contain him. Same thing on kick returns. If number 15 is back there, we’re going to have a plan for it.”

Another top athlete in the district, Glenwood’s Spencer Smith, came up with the first of two key plays for the Rams, picking off a Whiton pass and returning it 47 yards. Smith later scored on a 4-yard run for a 17-7 lead late in the third period.

Late in the game, after a long fumble return set up another Ram score for a 24-7 lead, Whiton moved to wideout and Cavan Finn was inserted at quarterback. Perry quickly moved to the Ram 19, but an unsportsmanlike penalty killed the drive.

Former Hawk After the game, coach Jason Olejniczak, a for-

Creston/O-M’s Christian Groumoutis (5) returns a kickoff 53 yards Friday against ADM to set up a touchdown that closed ADM’s first-half lead to 21-18. The Panthers eventually took the lead, but fell 36-35 to the Tigers in the final minute.

Spartan men jump to No. 23 in national poll

CNA staff writer • jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES — The Southwestern Community College men’s cross country team jumped back into the top 25 poll after its performance at the Viking Invitational on Sept. 20.

The Spartans trailed North Iowa Area Community College by a mere three points in the team standings. NIACC was ranked No. 16 at the time of the race.

Freshman Aaron Ward continued to pace the Spartans, finishing the 8K course in 28:51. He placed 37th overall.

Former Clarke Indian standouts Gage Beers and Chasen Selsor crossed the line in 29:13 and 29:19 respectfully.

Ben Friederichs and Rayvonne Brown rounded out the scoring for the Spartans. The team’s spread was only 44 seconds for the top five.

“I was really impressed by how we worked to pass people after the 6,000-meter mark,” head coach Bill Huntington said. “It was probably the tightest pack we have ever had.”

Auston Carter, Ovan Garcia and Cassidy Warson set season-best times under 30 minutes for the 8K. “To have that many guys under 30 minutes at this point

in the season is outstanding,” Huntington said. “We still have a lot of work to do, but this team has a large upside.”

Sarah McKeon and Kristin Klocksiem led the Spartan women in the 5K, crossing the line in 24:59 and 25:14 respectively.

Libby Hurley-Boyd, Brei Theisen and Aspen Riley rounded out the scoring for SWCC. “I try not to talk about individuals often, but Sarah and Kristin really showed up,” Huntington said. “They were passing people the whole time, really racing hard.”

Another road sweep for SWCC NORFOLK, Neb. — After a Tuesday night trip east to Ottumwa for a 3-0 win over Indian Hills, the Southwestern volleyball bus headed west Wednesday for another nonconference matchup at Northeast Nebraska.

The Spartans had similar results, taking a 26-24, 25-15, 25-17 victory.

Jenna Casey smacked 12 kills to lead the Spartans.

Alex Duffy also had a big night at the net with three

blocks and 10 kills.

Cassidy Yong set 38 assists.

Allyson Kocour was perfect in 12 serves C. Yong and Molly Schimp totaled 20 digs.

“This was another good match for us,” said SWCC coach Melissa Blessington.

“This is Northeast’s first season with volleyball and they are a very good team. We

did a great job putting the ball away and that came from great defense.”

The momentum comes at a good time, as the busy Spartans (16-7 overall, 2-2 ICCAC) host Ellsworth (6-13, 0-4) in regional play at 6:30 p.m. Friday.

was a very competitive game. I think they are better than they were last year, because they return more kids.”

In last week’s game, Whiton caught five passes for 78 yards and ran 12 times for 41 yards. Seth Stetzel is the primary returning running back and had 41 yards on 12 rushes.

“Even after a rough first half we ended up with over 300 yards of total offense, and when you do that in high school football you should win,” Olejniczak said. “We will get back to

work to improve, because we still have a lot to play for in this district.”

Likewise for Creston/OM, which has to put last week’s crushing loss in the rear view mirror.

“I think we’re over it,” Morrison said. “The kids are looking forward to Friday’s game and playing at home. This is my fourth year as a head coach, and I’ve never seen a team play and compete as hard as they did last Friday. That’s Please see PANTHERS, page 4S

BATTLEFRONT WEEK Area teams in key district matchups

By SCOTT VICKER

n Look for a feature on Murray’s Andrew Rider on page 14A

This week, area football teams will find themselves on the football battlefront, in key district games that will have big implications as far as district seeding will play out.

In Eight-Man District 8, Southwest Valley and Lenox, both of which sit at 4-1 overall and 3-1 in district play with losses to Sidney, square off in Lenox’s homecoming game.

In District 6, Murray (4-1, 3-0), travels to Adair-Casey to take on Clayton Plowman and the 5-0, 4-0 Associated Press fifth-ranked Bombers.

Meanwhile, East Union, trying to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot, hosts Ankeny Christian Academy.

In Class 1A, Des Moines Register second-ranked Mount Ayr hosts Des Moines Christian in the Raiders’ homecoming game.

Nodaway Valley travels to West Central Valley to play on the Wildcats’ new fieldturf stadium.

keep the offense on the field as long as they can, it’s the matchups on the offensive line,” Southwest Valley head coach Kent Bass said. “Is the defense going to get into the backfield or will the offensive line get some push? It’s going to be some fun matchups. It’s just a matter of going out and executing.”

Lenox comes into the contest averaging 245 rushing yards per game, while the Timberwolves 344 yards per game on the ground.

“They want to establish the run with (Zach) Barton and (Gunnar) McCuen and (Jordan) Stuart,” Dukes said. “Those three guys really have their offense running well.

Barton is a load.

You have to hit him low, or if you don’t, Barton he’s going to carry you.”

Bass said he believes a key to the game will be which team is able to show more balance on offense and keep the other team’s defense off balance.

SWV vs. Lenox “This is another big game in the district,” Lenox head coach Allen Dukes said.

“We’re both 3-1 (district).

Neither of us wants to drop that second game, because district seeding is very important. You want to be in the top part of the district, so you can at least get a game at home.”

Currently, the Tigers and the Timberwolves sit in a third-place tie in District 8, with Southwest Valley holding the point differential tiebreaker. Fremont-Mills and Sidney are one and two in the district.

Both teams will try to establish the run Friday night, meaning offensive line play will be critical to either team’s success.

Murray vs. A-C Over the past few years, Murray vs. Adair-Casey has been a big game, with big implications. It’s no different this year.

“The winner of this game will definitely have the upper hand as far as probably being the No. 1 seed in the district,” Murray head coach Keith Shields said. “It’s been that way the past couple of years.

Two years ago, we went to Adair and they got us, then we got them at our place last year. We’re looking forward

Middle school volleyball 7th grade Creston’s seventh-grade volleyball team won three of nine games at Lenox.

Group one played Lenox’s eighth grade and won two of five games. Groups two and three played Lenox’s seventh grade team and won one of four games.

“For team one, games one and two were great,” said coach Teri Keeler. “We hustled, talked, set it up and had several great volleys. And then game three we lost some of the intensity, although we rallied back to make it close as we did in game five. Serving was a huge factor for group two. We have to be able to get our serves over. There were some times when we looked good and got a good first pass to set things up.”

On Tuesday the Creston seventh-graders won eight of 17 games at Winterset.

Team one took six of eight games and two team went 2-7.

“The team one group played well after the first set, when we couldn’t pass for anything,” Keeler said. “We started moving our feet and getting to the ball, and got some good passes up. Strong serving was a key as well.”

Next action for the seventhgraders is Monday against Clarinda. The games will be played at Creston High School.

KEN’S CALL: You practice by sitting through hours of Senate committee meetings on C-SPAN. Bring it on.

AAA sponsors the next race. Bad sign?

GODSPEAK: The tow service will come in handy, but does AAA still provide bail money?

In the past two Chase races, Matt Kenseth has beaten Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch to the finish line. They stand first and second in Cup Series points.

This isn’t the first time teammates have thrown elbows to hold the Cup Series championship trophy. Most recently Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, who drive for Hendrick Motorsports, dueled for 2007 title honors.

It looked like Gordon would win his fifth championship after back-to-back Chase wins at Talladega and Charlotte that season.

Instead, Johnson rallied back with four consecutive Chase victories to capture the second of five straight Cup Series crowns. Stay tuned. This could get very interesting.

TRUEX TRIPPED Michael Waltrip Racing tried to get Martin Truex Jr. into the Chase with some stock-car tomfoolery at Richmond. Now the one driver at Waltrip Racing who was truly battling for position that night is trying to stop a domino effect with his career.

His sponsor, NAPA, which has been with Waltrip since 2001, said it could not stomach the team’s actions and won’t be Truex’s sponsor in 2014.

MWR is scrambling to pull together a package for Truex. Will he be racing with Waltrip next season?

end and continue his racing career in one of those open-cockpit rocket ships.

The 38-year-old driver gave the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Chevy a look-see, but decided his heart was in single-seaters.

“I was looking at all the choices, and when I started talking to Roger about it, to tell you the truth, it was a no-brainer for me,” Montoya said last week.

“I always loved open-wheel. That is my background. I had seven great years here, and still have nine more races with the Target car this year.

When you get a chance to run for Roger, I wouldn’t turn that down.”

AP/MARY SCHWALM

We assume you also get a trophy for winning in New Hampshire. But just in case, this will do in a pinch (sorry).

Matt may look calm on the outside, but … oh, let’s face it, he’s probably cool on the inside too.

You don’t have Mild Matt Fever?

Not even close. Not even the lowgrade form. Sure, you have to respect Matt Kenseth’s momentum. You have to give a nod to the Mild One’s three wins the past five times he’s hit the go switch. He hasn’t had a bad finish since early August, or a true clunker since early July. However, some perspective: He’s only 14 points ahead of Kyle Busch, and just 18 ahead of ol’ Jimbo, who’s won five of these things.

But doesn’t momentum equal horsepower?

Only in a mystical, impossible-toexplain way. Those pistons and shocks don’t read the current standings, so they have no clue what’s happening and therefore remain humble. Never forget: In racin’, momentum can go away with your next set of Goodyears. All it takes is one blip beyond your control, you’re running with the mid-packers and wondering what happened to your points lead.

Any hunches for Dover?

“I don’t know — it’s too early to tell, to be honest with you,” he said. “I wish I knew and I wish I could say, but a lot of circumstances have to play out, and it’s so late in the game and late in the season.”

No hunch, just a hope: The Chase standings are already spreading out, with more daylight than we usually see after two races. Dover can rattle cages, so hopefully it can tighten up the loosening playoff bunch.

what is disappointing. But we can’t look back, we’ll look forward. There are going to be games like that every week in our district.”

to having another good game with them on Friday night.”

Clayton Plowman, now the all-time leading rusher in Iowa Eight-Man history, is the focal point of the Bomber offense. But, they have other playmakers, too.

Emmitt Wheatley and Charlie Terry are also capable of causing fits for defenses.

“One of the things, just from what we’ve seen, is they probably are a little more diversified than they have been,” Shields said. “They have a little more speed with Wheatley, and Charlie Terry is an underrated guy. He’ll catch the ball, but also is an excellent blocker. The versatility they have, being able to move guys around is something we’ll have to concentrate on.”

But the two major areas Shields said his team will need to concentrate on will be matching Adair-Casey’s physicality and swarming to the ball on defense.

Panther lineup has not been practicing and is doubtful for Friday.

J u nior Jake Gutschen- Thompson ritter will take Thompson’s spot at offensive right tackle, Morrison said.

The team catches a break in that junior Alex Tamerius, a starting linebacker

last year, was cleared last Thursday after rehabbing from knee surgery from a soccer injury last spring.

With a week of practice in, Tamerius can step in at the weak side inside linebacker position manned

by Seth Maitlen, as Maitlen works in as a backup across the defensive line Friday. Alex Chapman, who was playing a lot of defensive end, can slide over to Thompson’s tackle position, leaving Adam

Baker and Tayler Pettit as the primary ends, with help from Maitlen.

Also, several players become academically eligible this week, and 6-7, 320-pound senior Alec Shields could see some time at defensive tackle.

Varsity kickoff is expected to be about 7:30 p.m., after the 4:45 p.m. freshman game. There are several homecoming activities planned at halftime and prior to the game.

“That was definitely their trademark, was their physical play,” Shields said. “You’ve got to strap it on and be ready to play physical. Trying to match their physicality and you can’t let (Plowman) get outside. You’ve got to get some contact in the backfield and have good flow with lots of guys pursuing and making tackles.”

record. A win Friday against Ankeny Christian would go a long way in helping to keep East Union’s playoff hopes alive.

Nodaway Valley faces a tough task, traveling to West Central Valley.

The Wolverines prepared for playing on West Central Valley’s new field-turf stadium by traveling to Earlham before the season began for a scrimmage.

But, the Wolverines will also have to deal with Wildcat playmaker Clayton Scott, who is a terror on both sides of the ball with six receiving touchdowns and five interceptions in four games.

Ayr Raiders will play host to a Des Moines Christian team fresh off a win against Pella Christian.

Co-head coach Delwyn Showalter expects to see a solid dose of power football from the Lions, as well as a stout defensive front.

“Traditionally, their linebackers have been the strength of their team,” Showalter said. “They’ve got a defensive lineman who makes our biggest guy look small.

They’ve got a lineman who’s 6-4, 400 pounds.”

Peprah Danquah, a linebacker for Des Moines Christian, leads the state with 12 solo tackles for loss. He also ranks third with six solo sacks.

Other games East Union enters its home game against Ankeny Christian Academy with a record of 1-4 overall and 0-2 in district play. Ankeny Christian is 0-4 and 0-3.

Lamoni currently holds the fourth spot in the district standings with a 1-1 district
