Crediting past teachers, Prof. Rall enters CCHS Hall of Fame

By ALEX FELKER

and his advanced algebra and senior mathematics teacher, Mr. Dave Koos, with instilling in him and then nurturing his love of mathematics.

“Both men were also my coaches,” Rall said.

“I have sort of the unusual story,” said Rall. “Most people — when they joke about who was their high school mathematics teacher — always the standard joke is ‘Well, I didn’t learn any mathematics because I had coaches for teachers.’

“And I had coaches! The basketball and the football coach were the two individuals that taught me in high school. And they were just really good. So I don’t like that joke.”

Rall was born in 1949 in West Union, as the second oldest of four sons to Harold and Margaret Rall.

After two years, the family moved to a wheat farm in western Kansas and then, in 1959, relocated to the Creston area — eventually to a small farm on Townline Road.

Rall attended Lincoln No. 9 (a country school) for his sixth grade year before the family moved again to Deloit for a short time, before returning to Creston during the middle of Rall’s seventh-grade year.

Rall was active in both 4-H and his church, Trinity Lutheran. He attended junior high and then high school at CHS, then at the old building, where he involved himself in plenty of extracurriculars, including the school chorus, basketball and track.

Rall now lives in Simpsonville, South Carolina, where he researches and teaches for Furman University. He received a B.A.

For Douglas F. Rall, 1967 Creston High School graduate, the opportunity to return to Creston for a class reunion and hall of fame induction ceremony was an unexpected one.

He writes in his acceptance letter: “Your letter of July 14 was a complete surprise for me. ... I am not totally sure what I have done to deserve this honor, but in any case I thank the committee.”

Rall may not be sure, but others are sure of the impact he had during his time spent in Creston.

Rall was heavily involved in both academic and athletic extracurriculars. After serving as junior class president, he served on the student council senior year and then as president of the science club.

For his academic marks, he was initiated into the National Honor Society within the top 5 percent of his junior-year class. He graduated in a 173-student class with scholastic honors.

He was the co-captain of a basketball team that went on to play Roosevelt High School in Des Moines in a sub-state battle, and a

“My years in Creston, especially at Creston High School, were the foundation of my life,” Rall said.

“I think it’s true of a lot of people that they’ll look back on their high school years, and say ‘I don’t know,’” said Rall. “But for me, I’m a mathematician now, and I really got a firm foundation in mathematics when I was in high school in Creston.

“I didn’t even like mathematics, but I had really good teachers in high school and I think that’s the thing that sealed it for me,” Rall said. “It’s just that fact that they encouraged me, and gave me such a good foundation. It made me who I am today.”

Segment of 190th Street reshaped, to receive potential further renovations

A segment of 190th Street, pictured above, underwent rock reshaping over the summer. The road is trafficked heavily for travel to and from East Union Community School in Afton, and during harvest season.

CNA staff reporter afelker@crestonnews.com

A road-work project that spanned approximately 1 1/2 miles has come to a close, for the time being, on 190th Street east of Afton.

The project’s completion, as well as potential further renovations, were discussed during Monday’s regular Union County Board of Supervisors meeting.

Also called School Road, this segment of rock road in question underwent heavy maintenance and reshaping over the summer in preparation for school-year traffic.

The road is traveled by roughly 170 vehicles per day, on average, according to Iowa DOT Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) figures. It is heavily used

during harvest season, and for travel to and from East Union Community School in Afton.

“It’s not just this county’s cars (that travel it) either,” said Supervisor Dale Cline.

“It’s every school district around — they know it’s a shortcut. For every school event.”

A new type of recycled, crushed concrete was used to supplement rock in the reshaping of the road.

According to Union County Engineer Zach Gunsolley, the road now measures approximately 28 feet in width. The road segment has also been rolled for compaction.

The recycled concrete used was crushed at CSI in Creston and purchased at a COUNTY | 7A

this international research conference, which featured roughly 130 participants from more than 30 countries.

Rall was one of eight invited speakers at the conference.

“It was a good week for me,” said Rall. “My wife went with me — and she travels with me a lot — we really enjoy going to places, and we usually end up meeting up with a lot of friends at these kinds of conferences.”

Rall’s research is in the area of combinatorics and graph theory. For the past six years, his research has been supported by a Collaboration Grant for Mathematicians from the Simons Foundation. He has co-authored a book on graph theory, and has published more than 80 research articles involving collaborators from all over the world.

Rall and Naomi have three daughters and six grandchildren. Rall is a leader in his church, and enjoys spending time with his family, reading, hiking and running.

Rall’s thoughts on returning to Creston for a 50th anniversary class reunion?

“I’m looking forward to it,” Rall said. “I haven’t spent much time back there, so I’m really looking forward to it. Haven’t seen many of my classmates for 20 or 30 years. And some I haven’t even seen since the day we graduated. So I’m a little anxious.”

After holding a one-year position at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Rall accepted a permanent position on the faculty of Furman, and, with the exception of sabbatical leaves at places including Nova Scotia, Austria and Slovenia, has been teaching there for now 42 years.

“And for the last 30, I’ve really gotten active in doing research,” Rall said. “And I’ve established collaborations with people, basically, in lots of different countries. I Rall travel a fair amount, and I’ve made a lot of international friends — so it’s been a very rewarding career for me.”

Rall attends conferences and is engaged for speaking opportunities all across the world. Just this past week, he attended a mathematics conference in Poland.

25-Oct. 1) in history:

10 years ago Tyler Sweeney, 2007 Lenox High School graduate, was diagnosed with Leukemia shortly after graduation. Tyler and his parents, Deanna and Vince Sweeney, were taken by surprise for the amount of support from Lenox and surrounding communities. Every Wednesday, people in the community wore orange, the color for leukemia support, and the town was preparing a benefit to help the family.

Members of the 2007 Creston/O-M varsity football cheerleading squad were Taryn Naill, Amber Cole, Kayla Byers, Jessica Tamerius, Bethany Hanson, Dana Howe, Diane Walsh and Candace Sorden. Wendy Keeler was the sponsor.

The new Iowa State Savings Bank branch, 504 W. Taylor St., in Creston was open for business and offered customers a coffee bar, free internet access, larger safety deposit boxes, Quick Change self service coin deposit center and other amenities. Also offered were extended lobby hours for busy families and a week of events for their grand opening Oct. 1-6.

was to process approximately 700 tons of soybeans per day to produce soybean meal, soybean oil and extracted hulls.

Amy Tucker, 12, and Trent Tucker, 7, children of Greg and LeAnn Tucker of Macksburg, were selected from among 100 dancers to perform in Iowa Dance Theatre’s production of “The Nutcracker” ballet with performances Dec. 1920. Both were students of Deborah’s School of Dance in Earlham.

Union County Sheriff John Coulter made an announcement of a $10,000 reward being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or person responsible for the theft of at least 1,000 pounds of high-grade explosives from a quarry near Thayer.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Secretary of State Paul Pate has shown up in person to less than half of the meetings of a key panel that helps run Iowa’s executive branch, an attendance record that one of his political opponents criticized Wednesday.

Minutes reviewed by The Associated Press show that Pate has been absent for 20 of 76 meetings of the Executive Council during his nearly three-year tenure and that he called in to meetings 21 Pate times. He was present at the Capitol for the remaining 35 meetings of the five-member committee, which approves emergency spending, appoints and pays outside lawyers, and governs insurance and benefit plans for state employees, among other duties.

Pate’s in-person attendance record of 46 percent

of meetings through Sept. 18 is worse than his colleagues, who rarely participate by telephone and have been present at between 92 percent and 66 percent of the meetings.

Pate declined earlier interview requests, but in a telephone call Wednesday evening, he said he could participate in meetings as effectively by phone as in-person.

He said that when in-person and phone meetings were included, he joined 74 percent of meetings.

State Auditor Mary Mosiman has only missed six meetings, while State Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald and former Gov. Terry Branstad (who left office in May) both missed 15. Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey has missed 22 and called into four. Several of Northey’s absences have come this year as he awaits confirmation to join the Trump administration.

Pate, a Republican from Cedar Rapids who helped craft Iowa’s new voter identification law, is running for re-election in 2018.

Caring

Hall said Pate has missed other meetings for reasons such as caring for his ailing mother who died last year, attending conferences and election training, and going on family vacations. Hall also defended his boss’ practice of calling in to meetings, noting that is allowed under Iowa’s open meetings law.

“Electronic participation in meetings is a common practice done in board and council meetings frequently, as well as the private sector,” he said.

Pate’s 21 call-ins to the council’s meetings are more than three times those by everyone else on the panel combined, the review found.

The practice has some drawbacks. Minutes show that Pate tried to call in for a

who has launched a campaign for the office, said Pate should be ashamed of his attendance record.

“He’s failing to take his role on the executive council seriously,” Mowrer said. “I think it’s critical that the secretary of state show up and participate in these meetings and build relationships with the governor and the other members.”

Pate most recently missed a Sept. 18 meeting where he didn’t vote on a complicated land swap between the state and Iowa City, the approval of fees for lawyers defending Iowa’s new collective bargaining restrictions, and $135,000 to repair an Iowa State Patrol building damaged by rains.

Spokesman Kevin Hall said Wednesday that Pate had a doctor’s appointment.

Galatians 5:14

MATURA Action Corporation’s Women, Infants and Children (WIC) participants will enjoy a treasure at their appointments this fall and winter when WIC staff introduce the, “We Treasure You” campaign.

According to Karla Hynes, director for MATURA’s WIC program, beginning Oct. 1, a participant who comes to his or her appointment is eligible to select a prize from the treasure chest of goodies at the end of the appointment.

“Treasure chests are often associated with pirates, so the clinic will be also be pirate-themed,” Hynes said. “While receiving a prize is a fun reward, participants will also join the fun of pretending to be a pirate.”

“We’ve adopted the whole pirate idea from

pirate jokes, costumes, decorations to ‘Talk like a Pirate Day.’ It will be a lot of fun for our participants and we hope, through all the fun, they realize how special they are to us and we do treasure them,” Hynes said.

WIC staff members are planning a variety of activities to promote the pirate campaign.

“We’ll use social media to post a weekly pirate joke and will have cardboard cutouts so the children can get a photograph with the pirates,” Hynes said. “We’ll also post educational messages around the clinic with the pirate theme, for example, ‘Arrrtichokes are my favorite food, what’s yours?’”

Treasure chests have been created for both adult and child participants.

“The children’s trea-

sure chest will contain age-appropriate trinkets, rewards or toys and the adult treasure chest will contain items like lip balm, socks, hunting magazines or water bottles,” Hynes said.

This campaign will continue through March 2018.

For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 641-202-7114.

WIC is a supplemental nutrition program for babies, children under the age of five, pregnant women, breastfeeding women and women who have had a baby in the last six months. WIC helps families by providing healthy foods, nutrition education and referrals to other health care agencies. The local WIC agency is managed by MATURA Action Corporation.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, September 28, 2017

We actually got some ‘real’ rain this week For once, we got a real rain storm for the first time in a long time. It was nice to see a good rain instead of those little drips of rains we have been getting all summer.

It’s probably a little late to help the crops, but at least it should hold down some of the dust during the harvest season. It is also nice to see the grass greening up before we hit the winter time. I, for one, was glad to see the rain. I think a lot of the local ponds needed the infusion before winter hit.

Taxes Just a friendly reminder that the first half of your property taxes are due this weekend. The friendly folks at the courthouse are always happy to take your money! Plus, it saves you from getting your name on the delinquent tax list!

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

Puerto Rico Boy, that hurricane did a number on Puerto Rico. That poor island will not be the same for many years to come.

I would guess many more people will be leaving the island. We have a number of student baseball players at SWCC from the island.

Hopefully they have heard from their families and they made it safely through the storm.

I’m not sure how it affects the plans of the students going back home for Christmas. From the

publisher@crestonnews.com

pictures, it doesn’t look like there are too many buildings left in good shape. Mother Nature can be a cruel mom at times.

Homecoming Friday is homecoming for Creston Community High School, with the parade Friday afternoon.

It’s always fun to see all the kids out and parading around town.

It’s been kind of a rough football season, but everyone seems to be hanging in well.

Geese This weekend is the start of duck

and goose season. There looks to be quite a good number of geese that have come in over the last couple of weeks. I know many of the local hunters are ready to give their guns a workout. It seems like there are more and more birds every year when it comes to ducks and geese.

High Lakes Next Thursday is the High Lakes annual banquet out at Three Mile Lodge. It is a fun event with many of the local fisher and hunter types showing up to take in the wonderful dinner and auction.

I’m always amazed at all the great items they have for the auction. If you are into hunting or fishing, this is the event you want to attend. The group gives you many ways to win prizes with all

the proceeds going to the High Lakes group that does many things around the area to support our local natural resources.

October We are just about done with three-fourths of the year. October is always a busy month. We here at the paper are eyebrows deep in budgets and other fun things of planning for next year.

We also have our revamped Holiday to Holiday event at the end of the month. We’ve taken a new angle and have freshened up the event. Plus, October is always a fun month with Halloween and all the kids dressed up in their favorite costumes.

Thought for the week: “Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR DAR essay contest open until Dec. 15 From Judith L. Wachter Afton

The Nancy McKay Harsh Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolutions (DAR) is again sponsoring the annual American History essay contests.

This year’s topic for grades 5, 6, 7 and 8 is “WWI: Remembering the War to End all Wars.”

The end of WWI was the beginning of a new age. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the end of the Great War. Imagine living in 1918. State where you are living and how the end of the war will impact your daily life. Discuss the pros and cons changes this war introduced to society and how you imagine those changes will impact the United States in the years to come.

Note: The WWI National Museum is located in Kansas City, a great place to get the creative juices flowing and a fun short road trip.

The contest topic for grades 9 through 12 is “Advantages and Disadvantages of Working Relationships Between Foreign Parties.”

Christopher Columbus, an Ital-

ian, manages to convince a Spanish monarch to fund his voyage.

Discuss the reasons why a monarch from one country would be interested in hiring an explorer from a foreign country to complete such an important mission. What convinced the Spanish monarchy to support Christopher Columbus instead of Spanish explorers?

Each local winner in each of the 5 through 8 grade levels, as well as the winner of the Christopher Columbus essay will be awarded a $10 cash gift, a medal and a certificate.

The winning entries will be sent to the state society. State level winners will be chosen and then forwarded to the district and national contest levels.

This is an excellent learning experience for students. It’s open to all students in public and private schools as well as to all who are home schooled. The deadline for entries is Dec. 15. Please send completed entries to Judith Wachter by Dec. 15 at the address below. For more information and a copy of the rules for each category, please contact Judith L. Wachter, American History Chair, 2643 Highway 34, Afton, IA 50830 or call 641-340-0372.

The national anthem debate HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The National Football League roared into week three Sunday amid a slump in TV ratings that made no sense. Look at the match-ups. Viewers had the New York Giants vs. the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Arizona Cardinals, and then the big game, Donald Trump vs. All of Them.

New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. made a TD catch Sunday, then he went down on all fours, lifted a leg and imitated a dog urinating on the field. This after the team Beckham refused to stand for the National Anthem. O.J. is getting out of prison just in time to advise the NFL how to improve its image.

President Trump tweeted it’s OK by him if teams stand with locked arms during the national anthem. Then he saw it. When Trump saw them standing along the sideline with their arms locked together, it gave him a great idea for the wall, if he can finesse it past the UN Human Rights Council.

President Trump said he’ll visit hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico next Monday. The hurricane damage left the entire region with commodity shortages.

Gas is so expensive in South Florida that Palm Springs society women who want to run over their lovers in the drive-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

way are having to carpool.

NYC former Congressman Anthony Weiner was sentenced to 21 months in prison for sexting with a minor. He will be in federal lock-up until he’s served his time or gets released. So Weiner’s got almost two years to figure out how to send nude photos of himself through a pay phone.

The GOP health care bill died a second time Tuesday when the usual few Republican senators killed it before it got to the floor. Republicans are having a terrible tortuous time trying to vote together on a health care bill. Laurel and Hardy looked better trying to push a piano up the staircase.

Bill Clinton sold his first novel, “The President Is Missing,” to Showtime to be made into a movie mini-series. It was announced amid the NFL national anthem controversy. It’s a reminder that the last president who urged an American to take a knee got impeached for lying under oath about it.

NFL players split when asked why they were kneeling during the national anthem on Sunday before games. Some are protesting cops, some protesting Trump, some are protesting concussion risks. It’s like the reason why nice girls don’t go to orgies, who could write all those thank-you notes?

NFL players knelt en masse

during the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner” before Sunday’s games. They should be grateful that’s the song. Players on eight NFL teams came within one bad decision at the Battle of Gettysburg to charge away from having to stand for “Dixie,” and play for free.

The national anthem protests reaction split on partisan lines Monday. A Harvard study shows that patriotic rituals turn young people into conservatives. Teachers must be horrified that it only takes an English drinking song and a beautiful flag to undo 12 years of public school education.

Saudi Arabia yielded to international pressure and lifted its ban on allowing women to operate a motor vehicle Tuesday.

It opens up a whole new world.

Saudis can finally go to a movie theater and watch “Thelma and Louise” in its entirety, not just the 12 minutes where women aren’t driving.

North Korea’s foreign minister said at the UN Monday that a state of war now exists between North Korea and the U.S. He said they’ll start shooting down U.S. planes. When reporters asked North Korea’s foreign minister what life is like under such a brutal regime, he said he can’t complain.

President Trump hosted Spain’s prime minister Tuesday and said he’ll visit Puerto Rico next week. The U.S. used gunboats to seize Puerto Rico, Cuba, Guam and the Philippines from Spain in 1898. Then Spain counter-attacked with the birth rate and looks set to win back all of North America.

Satan’s convention Satan called a worldwide convention. In his opening address to his evil angels, he said, “We can’t keep the Christians from going to church. We can’t keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth.

“We can’t even keep them from conservative values. But we can do something else. We can keep them from forming an intimate, abiding relationship experience in Christ.

If they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken.

“So let them go to church, let them have their conservative lifestyles, but steal their time, so they can’t gain that experience in Jesus Christ. This is what I want you to do, Angels.

Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day.”

“How shall we do this?” shouted his angels.

“Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent schemes to occupy their minds,” he said.

“Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, then, borrow, borrow, borrow. Convince the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work six or seven days a week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their lifestyles. Keep them from spending time with their children. As their family fragments, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work.

“Over stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still small voice.

see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly. This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ.

“Fill their coffee tables with magazines and newspapers. Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day. Invade their driving moments with billboards.

Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, sweepstakes, mail order catalogues and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering, free products, services and false hopes.

“Even in their recreation, let them be excessive. Have them return from their recreation exhausted, disquieted and unprepared for the coming week.

“Don’t let them go out in nature to reflect on God’s wonders. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, concerts and movies instead. And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences and unsettled emotion.

“Let them be involved in soul-winning. But crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Christ. Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family unity for the good of the cause.”

It was quite a convention. And the evil angels went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busy, busy, busy and rush here and there.

HOROSCOPE For Friday, Sept. 29, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel attracted to a co-worker today. Meanwhile, be very clear about money discussions at work. Don’t expect others to anticipate what you need.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)This is a classic day for true love! Yes, love at first sight might happen for some of you. Plus, all of you will feel a strong affection toward loved ones.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might spend too much money buying something beautiful for your home or a family member today.

Remind yourself to be realistic. Someone has to pay the bills when they arrive.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Your ideals are aroused today, which is why you see beauty in your everyday surroundings. You also see how loving and supportive your daily contacts are.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today it’s very easy to spend too much money on something you want. Double-check all financial dealings. Just because you want something doesn’t make it so.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22)You might feel disappointed in a loved one today. But does this person realize why?

Unexpressed expectations almost always lead to disappointment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might feel lonely or cut off from others today simply because you expected too much from someone.

If you want company, ask for it. Reach out to others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might hero-worship a friend today or admire someone. Nevertheless, don’t put this person up on a pedestal, which means you are beneath them. It doesn’t work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) It’s easy to admire a boss or someone in a position of authority today.

Nevertheless, it’s also good to remember that this person puts his or her pants on one leg at a time, just like you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Feelings of escapism are strong today - that’s why you want to get away from it all. Be careful about falling for clever talk and propaganda.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)If you have to divide or share something with someone today, remember to keep your own self-interest

in mind. Don’t give away the farm.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)You might be disappointed in someone today because he or she didn’t come through in the way you wanted. But does this person really know what you want? Did you ever say what it was?

YOU BORN TODAY You are kind and generous. You also are efficient, effective and organized. This is a busy

year and a year of choice. You have a great zest for life and will want to nurture the happiness and beauty around you.

Be grateful for what you have; do not focus on what you don’t have. Expect increased popularity and the warm rekindling of old friendships.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I’m curious about the difference between BEING VEGETARIAN AND BEING VEGAN. What can you tell me about these? – Holly C. in San Antonio Holly, great question!

Vegetarians typically don’t eat meat, poultry or fish.

What about dairy and eggs?

Vegetarians can eat eggs and consume dairy; some don’t.

Health issues and other factors can draw people into vegetarianism and veganism.

Being vegan is more about a person’s complete lifestyle.

Vegans don’t eat anything having to do with animals – meat, dairy, fish, eggs and even honey. They typically eat vegetables and fruits, nuts, grains and seeds. Both groups may need to supplement their diets with vitamins.

Vegans don’t use household items or clothes made from animals, or items tested on animals. Vegans generally feel that animals aren’t here for us to use, so leather and fur products are out.

This is a short primer on both subjects – there is a lot to know about both veganism and vegetarianism. Readers, ask your doctor if your diet and/or lifestyle could benefit from becoming either, if you are interested! – Heloise

DISHWASHER DUTY Dear Heloise: I use a microfiber dishcloth instead of a sponge, and I put it in the laundry each day or so to ensure a fresh cloth all the time.

I also put my sink drainer, the plastic bin I keep tools in and the brush I use to clean the disposal into the dishwasher. Such an easy way to keep things fresh! – Sue J., Huntington, Ind. HOLD IT! Dear Heloise: For crafters who work with yarn, I use the plastic bags that the newspaper comes in as a sleeve for my skeins of yarn.

Any unused yarn can be stored neatly. The band stays with the yarn, so I’ll know the kind, ply and color. – Naomi W., Canoga Park, Calif.

COMPANY’S COMING Dear Heloise: I can barely reach my top cabinets, so I keep three each of plates, saucers, bowls and silverware in my dishwasher at all times.

My children and friends seem to come in pairs, so three of each thing is just enough for company, coffee and dessert. – Wanda M., Metairie, La. SHOE CLUE Hello, Heloise: I have a suggestion for everyone, especially seniors. With the wet and cold weather not too far

SUDOKU

in the future, it’s important that everyone wears shoes that do not slip on wet, slippery areas.

Shoes that have slip-resistant technology grip, even on ice, are available at discount retailers. – Sue Z., via email LETTER OF LAUGHTER Dear Heloise: I was leaving the grocery store laden with groceries, and a little boy came up to me at the automated door: “Let me get the door for you, ma’am,” he said.

Ha! The weight of my basket had already opened the door! – Judy K. in Alabama POWDER POWER Dear Heloise: After I apply my face powder with a brush, I use a dry brush to go over it one more time to remove any excess. This is important with HD cameras everywhere. – Donna W. in California 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. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

price of $8.25 per ton, compared to a $10.95 per ton mark for new, quarry rock.

“It’s a process that I haven’t utilized personally very often due to the fact that the material isn’t readily available at any given point,” Gunsolley said. “The reshaping of roads, such as what the county did on Osage and Pole roads ... would be of most benefit to a product like this because the base needs some strength when you’re doing major reshaping on a road, and it will provide a firmer base for that road on top than if we just purchased regular road stone rock from the quarry.”

The preliminary results, according to Gunsolley, have been positive.

“It’s too early to tell if that is attributable to the active cement in the recycled concrete, or the improved compaction

techniques with our new roller, or both,” said Gunsolley.

“In any case, we have been pleased with it so far.”

Gunsolley added that the crew did a great job working overtime this summer to complete these and many other projects throughout the county.

Union County Secondary Roads Department also reports the bridge on 197th Street east of P64 is open to traffic. After some final site dirtwork is done, the project will be complete.

The public is encouraged to contact the Engineer’s Office, at 641-782-7417, with any road or bridge questions or concerns.

Further renovations After several members of the public came forward to the Union County Board of Supervisors with safety concerns for this same segment of 190th Street — before and

during the board’s regular meeting held Monday morning — further deliberations are being made with regard to potential traffic control.

“The board (of supervisors),” said Union County Engineer Zach Gunsolley, “has heard concerns from some members of the public about safety along that road due to the higher traffic count with the factory and the school.

“And certain times of the day,” said Gunsolley, “due to dust, if it’s dry, the visibility is an issue. And some people have requested from the board to do additional steps along that road as far as traffic control. And so the board is seeking public input from people whether they feel additional traffic control, in their opinion, is needed or not. They’ve also reached out to East Union Community School and United Farmers Cooperative (for input).”

“I did visit with those

folks,” said Supervisor Ron Riley. “And they were all in favor of whatever we can do there to slow the speed down.”

The board discussed, but did not take action with potential options including reducing the speed limit, applying dust control and paving the road segment.

In addition, an underpass along this same segment of road is being looked at for possible further traffic control after concerns were raised by community members.

“Separate from the speed along the straight stretch of road,” said Gunsolley, “there was some concern about that underpass that it’s a little narrow to meet another vehicle.

So depending on who you talk to, one (issue) is more important than the other.”

The underpass measures approximately 24 feet wide.

“That is wide enough for two cars to pass.” said Gunsolley. “It’s just that psy-

Contributed photo

Pictured is an underpass that intersects 190th Street, east of Afton, with the railroad that runs parallel to Highway 169. The underpass is approximately 24 feet wide, and some members of the public have voiced safety concerns with regards to vehicles meeting in the center of the tunnel, especially during icy winter conditions.

chologically, when you’re meeting someone in such a restriction, with a perceived obstacle up above, it puts you on edge.”

The board discussed several options, including introducing stop signs, to safen the underpass.

“It’s my own opinion that we’ll have to do something

there,” said Riley. “We’ll have to arrive at a speed limit, and see if we’re going to do stop signs, and try to make it as good as we can.”

After several other community members voiced concerns over the underpass and the road segments on either side, the board tabled the issue for the time being.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal’s Godwin Kelly & Ken Willis have covered NASCAR for nearly 60 years combined. godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com ken.willis@news-jrnl.com

NEW HAMPSHIRE

SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED

Which Bubble Boy has the best shot of winning this week?

GODSPEAK: I’m going with Ryan Newman. Something tells me he will get fast this weekend.

KEN’S CALL: Looking at the bottom six in the standings, Kurt Busch is the obvious choice. The only choice, really, barring rain or gas issues.

Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

Is Kasey Kahne really “excited” to be joining the No. 95 team?

No, but we would like to think he’s at least hopeful. Some folks are pointing to the recent history of Barney Visser’s Furniture Row Racing (No. 78 team) and how it struggled to get some footing, got a jolt with the arrival of Kurt Busch in 2013, and has been a juggernaut since Martin Truex Jr.’s arrival in 2014.

That, however, is much more of an exception than a rule. If Kasey starts a similar ball rolling for Leavine Family Racing, great, but in NASCAR’s current business climate, it’ll be very tough.

What about Joey Logano’s “timeout” penalty during last weekend’s practice?

GODSPEAK: Who hasn’t had a “timeout” penalty? Aren’t millennials the “timeout” generation?

KEN’S CALL: If punishment was the aim, they should’ve sentenced him to an infield autograph session.

Logano penalty: Justified or silly?

garage. “Boom!” Busch said. “As soon as the smoke cleared I’m looking at Harvick’s door — my teammate.”

Tire smoke-outs are generally reserved for the winning driver, but the winning driver had to survive a tire-smoke cloud on Sunday. Kyle Busch described it. “That was some ‘Days of Thunder’ stuff over there,” he said. “You couldn't see anything. It was just a wall of smoke.”

3. Damaged, continues When things are rolling your way, the good luck gets your car through a bad incident.

Martin Truex Jr. was involved in the smokestorm crash, but his team patched up his No. 78 Toyota, and he finished fifth. It’s looking more like the Year of Truex.

FEUD OF THE WEEK

THREE THINGS TO WATCH

GODWIN’S PICKS F O R D OV E R

1. First cut, the deepest

WINNER: Matt Kenseth REST OF TOP 5: Ryan Newman, Martin Truex Jr., Brad Keselowski, Kyle Larson FIRST ONE OUT: Trevor Bayne DARK HORSE: Clint Bowyer DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Kenseth finally gets over that win hump at the “Monster Mile.”

Cat Stevens scored the song “The First Cut Is the Deepest” in 1967, and that title holds true heading into Dover. Sixteen NASCAR playoff drivers will go in and only 12 will exit the “Monster Mile.” The scramble is not at the top of the standings, but with those bringing up the rear. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Austin Dillon share the bubble-boy position at 2,044 points, with three more drivers behind them.

From Ryan Blaney in eighth place to Kasey Kahne in 16th, and all those drivers sandwiched in between, they would love to a get a race victory and advance to Round 2. Kurt Busch and Kahne really need a Hail Mary triumph to keep advancing. Kahne is 21 points behind the 12th-place driver, and his chances of advancing are slim. Busch was the first to be playoff-eligible by winning the Daytona 500 and may be one of the first to go.

This week, Ken Willis is joined by a guest co-host, the World’s Youngest Angry Old Man. We’ll talk Loudon, Dover and other things.

Dover. Since 2009, he has scored eight Cup Series wins at the track. Other playoff drivers with recent wins there include Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski and Kurt Busch.

3. About Dover Dover International Speedway is a crazy-fast, high-banked, concrete-surfaced 1-mile oval.

There is no other track remotely similar to Dover, which refers to itself as the “Monster Mile.” Jimmie Johnson is particularly fond of

KEVIN HARVICK VS. AUSTIN DILLON: Dillon got into Harvick and crashed him out. Harvick pointed the finger (verbally) at Dillon, who said it was a racing deal. Harvick finished 36th.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: “He kept coming left and I was in the gas and he bobbled, and when he bobbled I tapped him and it spun him out,” is the way Dillon described it after his 19th-place run.

2. Nobody is safe

MOTOR MOUTHS PODCAST

You can make either argument.

Joey was forced to sit with his car on pit road during all of the final practice last Saturday at New Hampshire. That wasn’t a good look for anyone.

But he was there because his team failed to get through tech inspection … FOUR TIMES! That, too, is rather silly. Also, it’s a little late for that team to try sneaking a fastball past the tech cops.

Now even money is running out in hurricane-hit Puerto Rico SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — First, Hurricane Maria knocked out power and water to Puerto Rico.

Then diesel fuel, gas and water became scarce. Now, it’s money.

The aftermath of the powerful storm has resulted in a near-total shutdown of the U.S. territory’s economy that could last for weeks and has many people running seriously low on cash and worrying that it will become even harder to survive on this storm-ravaged island.

There are long lines at the banks that are open with reduced hours or the scattered ATMs that are operational amid an islandwide power outage and near total loss of telecommunications. Many people are unable to work or run their businesses because diesel to run generators is

in short supply or they can’t spend all day waiting for gas to fill their car.

Engineer Octavio Cortes predicts it will only get worse because so many of the problems are inter-connected and cannot be easily resolved.

“I don’t know how much worse it’s going to get,” Cortes said as he joined other motorists stopping on a bridge over a river in northern Puerto Rico to catch a faint cellphone signal.

“Right now it’s manageable, but I don’t know about next week or after that.”

The father of six typically works from home or travels around the world for his job, but neither approach is possible now because the power is still out for nearly all 3.4 million people in Puerto Rico and flights off the is-

land are down to only a few each day.

While Cortes is OK for the moment, others don’t have nearly the same resources.

Cruzita Mojica is an employee of the Puerto Rico Treasury Department in San Juan. While she, like many public sector workers, has been called back to work she can’t go because she has to care for her elderly mother in the aftermath of the storm. She got up at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday and went to four ATM machines only to find each one empty.

“Of course I took out money before the hurricane, but it’s gone already,” she said. “We’re without gasoline. Without money. Without food. This is a disaster.”

Surgical technician Dilma Gonzalez said she had only

$40 left and her job hasn’t called people back to work yet in the capital. “Until they let us know otherwise, I’m not supposed to go back,” she said with a shrug as she pressure washed the street in front of her house, sending muddy debris flying.

All are struggling with the overwhelming devastation of Hurricane Maria, which began tearing across the island early in the morning of Sept. 20 as a Category 4 storm with winds of 155 mph. It destroyed the entire electricity grid while grinding up homes, businesses, roads and farms. At least 16 people were killed. There still is no exact tally of the cost and full extent of the damage, but Gov. Ricardo Rossello says it will bring a complete halt to the econo-

my for at least a month.

“This is the single biggest, major catastrophe in the history of Puerto Rico, bar none, and it is probably the biggest hurricane catastrophe in the United States,” Rossello said Wednesday as he delivered aid to the southern town of Salinas, whose mayor says 100 percent of the agriculture there was wiped out when the wind tore up plantain, corn, vegetables and other crops.

On Thursday the Trump administration announced it was waiving the Jones Act, a little-known federal law that prohibits foreign-flagged ships from shuttling goods between U.S. ports, for Puerto Rico. Republicans and Democrats have pushed for the move, saying it could help get desperately needed supplies to the island more

quickly and at less cost.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Twitter that President Donald Trump had “authorized the Jones Act be waived for Puerto Rico” in response to a request from Rossello and that it “will go into effect immediately.”

Antonia Garcia, a retiree who lives in the city of Bayamon, said she was down to her last $4. She spent a day using precious gas to look for an ATM that was in operation because she couldn’t get into her credit union, which was taking only 200 customers a day. “This has become chaotic,” she said.

Puerto Rico was already struggling before the storm.

The island has been in a PR | 12A

PR:

US economic growth revised up to 3.1 percent rate in Q2 quarter could tumble by as much as 1.2 percentage points due to hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria.

But analysts think the initial losses to GDP will be made up in subsequent quarters as rebuilding gets underway.

Economists at Moody’s Analytics have estimated that hurricanes Harvey and Irma will end up costing in total around $167 billion when taking into account property damage and lost economic output.

That estimate would put the two storms together close to the total devastation in 2005 caused by Hurricane Katrina, the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history.

Top forecasters with the National Association for Business Economics expect the economy will grow a modest 2.2 percent in 2017 and 2.4 percent in 2018.

CONT. FROM | 10A

That would be up from the weak 1.5 percent growth seen in 2016 but it is far below the growth rates of 3 percent or better that President Donald Trump is pledging to produce with his economic program of tax cuts, regulatory relief and tougher enforcement of foreign trade deals.

In the final look at second quarter GDP, the government said that consumer spending, which accounts for nearly 70 percent of economic activity, grew at a solid 3.3 percent rate in the spring, unchanged from the initial estimate. Business investment in equipment was also unchanged from the previous estimate, posting a solid increase of 8.8 percent at an annual rate.

Trump traveled to Indiana on Wednesday to tout

recession for more than a decade, the poverty rate was 45 percent and unemployment was around 10 percent, higher than any U.S. state. Manufacturers of medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, which are the most important segment of the economy, have been shedding jobs for years. Now everything from multinational companies to small businesses and ranches are scrambling to get enough fuel to run generators while their employees struggle to even get to work.

Before the storm, the island’s government was in the

the upside. Christian Mendoza said the car wash where he works hasn’t re-opened so he has been selling bottled water, even without refrigeration. “The water hot and it still went like you wouldn’t believe,” he said.

Another relative success story is Elpidio Fernandez, a 78-year-old who sells coconut and passion fruit ice cream from a pushcart on the streets of San Juan and has a supplier with a generator. He has made up to $500 on some days since the storm.

“Business has multiplied by a thousand,” he said, but he quickly added: “Even though I’m doing well, I don’t feel good because I know other people are suffering.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy grew at an upgraded annual rate of 3.1 percent in the spring, the fastest pace in more than two years. But growth is expected to slow sharply this quarter in the wake of a string of devastating hurricanes.

The April-June expansion in the gross domestic product — the economy’s total output of goods and services — is up slightly from a 3 percent estimate made a month ago, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. It is the strongest performance since the economy grew at a 3.2 percent pace in the first quarter of 2015. The upward revision reflected larger farm stockpiles.

The year started with a lackluster 1.2 percent gain in the first quarter. Economists believe growth has slowed again to around 2 percent in the current quarter.

The revised figure was the government’s third and final look at GDP for the April-June period, and left GDP rising at an average 2 percent pace over the first six months of the year. That matches the lackluster average annual growth rates seen since the recovery from the Great Recession began in mid-2009.

Economists at Macroeconomic Advisers believe that growth in the current

midst of bitter negotiations with creditors to restructure a portion of its $73 billion in debt, which the previous governor declared unpayable.

Rossello appeared to warn the bondholders that the storm had made things worse.

“Puerto Rico practically will have no income for the next month,” he told reporters.

Making matters worse for many consumers is the fact that those food stores that are open, typically on reduced hours, are unable to process credit or bank cards or the local system of welfare payments. The businesses are insisting on cash, even though that is technically illegal.

Still, as in any economic crisis, there are people who find

Kevin Kruse Zoning Administrator REGULAR MEETING OF THE CRESTON CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 19, 2017 The Creston City Council met in regular session at 6:00 o'clock p.m. on the above date in the Council Chambers of the City Hall Complex with Mayor Lybarger presiding.

Roll call being taken with the following Council members present: Wintermute, Koets, Wilson, Carroll, Madison, Higgins and Freeman.

During Public Forum, Tom Fastenow, 701 E. Howard, spoke to Council regarding the possibility of implementing a truck route for the City to help eliminate heavy truck use on streets that they don't need to be on.

Ellen Gerharz, Chamber of Commerce, spoke regarding the upcoming workshop on Special Events Applications, expressing her concerns regarding having to go to businesses that the parade routes go by, as well as what determines a party? She feels these items need to be clarified within the application.

Ms. Gerharz also made suggestions toward the ordinance definitions for a Peddler's Permit - "local" - living in the City of Creston and "farmer" - should be in the 50801-zip code.

Waylon Clayton, owner/operator of The Little Green Trailer, feels that any further hearing or changes on the Peddler's Permit is a waste of time.

Isaac Arndt, Plant Manager, and Nick Lindberg of CHS Oilseed, met with Council to discuss the Pretreatment Agreement Limits. They have been in the process of negotiating "swapping assets" with another local industry to hopefully expand their limitations on the Pretreatment Agreement and are asking for another extension.

Forrest Aldridge, Veenstra & Kimm, engineering firm for the City of Creston, feels this would be a good move for CHS Oilseed. Council's consensus is to allow a 30-day extension for CHS Oilseed to continue negotiations with the other local industry.

the benefits of the tax plan his administration and congressional Republicans unveiled earlier in the day. “Our country and our economy cannot take off like they should unless we dramatically reform America’s outdated, complex and extremely burdensome tax code,� Trump told the crowd, urging them to lob-

by Congress to win passage of the first major revamp of the nation’s tax code in a generation.

The sweeping plan would deeply cut levies for corporations, simplify everyone’s tax brackets and nearly double the standard deduction used by most Americans. However, the measure is expected to face strong opposition from Democrats who contend it is tilted too much to the wealthy and would explode future deficits.

THE NUMBERS GAME

1

The number of MLB teams to make the playoffs the year after losing 100 games. The Twins became the first to qualify in such a scenario Wednesday.

BRIEFS Atlantic edges seventh graders ATLANTIC — Atlantic defeated the Creston/O-M seventh grade football team Thursday, 12-8, dropping the young Panthers to 3-1 for the season.

The Panthers won a shutout in the B contest, 26-0.

Atlantic scored the first touchdown of the opening game on a 77-yard touchdown pass. The half ended on the 6-0 margin.

Untimely penalties hampered the Panthers in the second half. The Trojans connected again on a pass play for a 44-yard touchdown. Playing in the heat just two days after facing Winterset, the Panthers showed signs of fatigue.

“It was very obvious in our body language that we were very tired,” coach Dick Clark said. “We were running out of gas.”

The Creston/O-M defense, which held Atlantic to -17 yards rushing in the game, gave the offense opportunities in the fourth quarter. With just over five minutes left in the game, Kyle Strider broke free for a 17-yard touchdown run. Strider also ran in the two-point conversion.

The Panthers drove into the red zone for the would-be winning drive, but a holding penalty stalled the possession.

Austin Deaton led the defense with 6.5 tackles, including 3.5 for losses. Chris Aragon, Ty Morrison and Garrett Fry also had multiple tackles and stops for loss for Creston/O-M. “The defense played so hard,” said assistant coach Jerry Hartman. “It was tough to take that loss. The boys gave it everything they had.”

Due to Atlantic’s numbers, there was no eighth-grade game.

Next game for the seventh-grade Panthers is Oct. 5 at Clarinda.

Rushing — Kyle Strider 21-157, 1 TD; Treyton Chesnut 4-19; Gannon Greenwalt 3-6, Cade Wurster 7-(-6).

Passing — Strider 1-5 for 4 yards.

Receiving — Greenwalt 1-4.

Tackles — Austin Seaton 6.5 (3.5 TFL); Chris Aragon 4 (2.5 TFL); Garrett Fry 3.5 (1 TFL), Ty Morrison 3 (1 TFL) Greenwalt 2.5 (1 TFL), Kohl Ringer 2.

Creston/O-M dominated the B game.

On the first play from scrimmage, Owen Henderson scampered around the right end for the first of his two touchdowns.

Willie Clayton caused a fumble on Atlantic’s first play from scrimmage, recovered by Ethan Crawford. Henderson ran in a 10-yard touchdown to give Creston/O-M a 12-point lead.

Later, Treyton Chesnut took over the quarterback duties and scored from 30 yards.

Chesnut ran in the two-point conversion.

Crawford came up with his second turnover on an interception, setting up a 22-yard touchdown run by Garrett Fry. Chesnut led the defense with four tackles.

Rushing — Owen Henderson 2-37, 2 TDs; Treyton Chesnut 3-37, 1 TD; Garrett Fry 2-19, 1 TD; Gannon Greenwalt 2-17; Lucas Lynch 2-6.

Tackles — Chesnut 4; Fry 3.5; Ethan Crawford 3; Fry 2.

Interceptions — Crawford 1.

Fumble recoveries — Crawford 1.

Twins clinch playoff spot, continue unexpected turnaround

By Tom Withers

Wednesday night when the Los Angeles Angles lost 6-4 in 10 innings at Chicago.

The Twins couldn’t secure their first spot in the postseason by themselves, losing 4-2 to the Indians, but that hardly mattered for a team that

CLEVELAND — The Minnesota Twins became the first team to make the playoffs after losing at least 100 games the previous season, clinching an AL wild-card berth on

They won only 59 games a year ago, and it seemed as if the young Twins would be lucky to be competitive when the season began. But they

Panthers look to ‘dig out’ of recent swoon ■ Huskies

bring physical attack to homecoming encounter

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

“We’re due.”

That’s the assessment of Creston/O-M head football coach Brian Morrison about his team heading into Friday’s homecoming encounter with longtime rival Winterset.

The Panthers are sitting at 1-4 overall and 0-3 in Class 3A District 7 play, but they are excruciatingly close to a much better mark.

There was a two-point conversion try that came up short in a 28-27 loss at Denison-Schleswig; having the ball at midfield late against Denison-Schleswig trailing by one score; and last week’s heartbreaking loss in over-

time at Atlantic when the Panthers had a botched snap resulting in a fumble on their first play of the extra session.

Also in that game, the Panthers suffered a blocked extra point and blocked field goal.

More than once, Morrison said, a facemask of a Creston/O-M blocker was grabbed and turned, hampering blocking of the inside gap.

He said Morrison the Trojans were not penalized in those instances.

“Start with the Boone game, and we’ve been in a lot of coulda-shoulda situations, no doubt,” Morrison said.

“Whether it’s penalties, special teams situations or putting the ball on the ground.

We haven’t gotten the breaks and been consistent enough

AREA VB Southwest Valley scores biggest POI win yet ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

Southwest Valley 3, East Union 1 AFTON — In perhaps the team’s biggest win of the year, Southwest Valley traveled to and defeated East Union on the volleyball court Tuesday.

Southwest Valley won 25-11, 13-25, 29-27, 2725.

Hailey Thomas facilitated the Timberwolves’ hitters with 33 assists to help Southwest Valley record 35 team kills. A total of 13 kills came from Jentry Schafer while Lexie Haer added nine.

“We were doing a nice job of staying in system and attacking the ball. We were a little unfocused to start set two and just really struggled to stay in system and stay aggressive at the net,” Southwest Valley coach Lindsay Wetzel said. “I am really proud of the girls for withstanding the back and forth pressure in set from 21 on it went back and forth until set point at 29.

Delaney Dalton was 26 of 27 serving to go with four digs and seven kills.

Haer and Alaina Currin combined for 28 digs.

“We went down 0-7 right away in the fourth set, and later on it was 16-21, so to come back and push point for point Schafer and winning 27-25 was a huge confidence booster for the girls,” Wetzel said, “Knowing that they could be down a considerable amount of points and to keep working and pushing forward and win the set definitely helps our level of confidence.”

On the positive side, the coaching staff has been pleased with the attitudes displayed in practice in preparation for a strong opponent Friday night.

“You know, starting with some of the adversity we had early on, and through everything else, the kids have gone about things the right way in preparing to put themselves in position to win football games,” Morrison said. “Now it’s a situation of trying to dig yourself out of it.”

Russell homers, Cubs beat Cardinals 5-1 to clinch NL Central

By JOE HARRIS

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The last time the Cubs went to the postseason three straight years was in 1906-08. The World Series champions won the National Central for the second straight year with a 5-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night.

Under .500 and trailing Milwaukee in the division race at the All-Star break, the Cubs turned things around with a stellar second half.

“It was tough,” starter John Lackey said. “It’s always a challenge and we got a lot of people’s best shots.

We played well and we’re back in the playoffs and we’ll see what happens.”

Russell Addison Russell hit a three-run homer and Lackey pitched six strong innings for Chicago.

The Cubs are the first defending World Series champion to win their division the next season since the 2009 Philadelphia Phillies and the first defending champion to reach the playoffs the next season since the Cardinals won the wild card in 2012.

“It’s fun to be a team that people want to beat,” Cubs infielder Kris Bryant said. “We embrace that and we’re going to go with that for as long as we can. It feels good right now knowing they (the Cardinals) always beat up on us before and now we’re able to kind of get of a taste of that, too.”

The Cubs became the second visiting team to celebrate a title at Busch Stadium III. The 2009 Los Angeles Dodgers won the NLDS at St. Louis.

“It’s a blessing to be in a situation to win a World Series on a team and win a division in a tough division the very next year,” Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward said. “That’s not my

plan. That’s someone else’s plan there. It just happened to be here. Fans, rivalry, whatever, it is what it is, but I know we had a lot of fun competing.”

Lackey (12-11) retired the final 10 batters he faced. The former Cardinal and three-time World Series winner struck out three Lackey and gave up two hits and two walks.

“I’ve got to keep telling these kids (young Cubs players) ’Don’t take anyone of these for granted. You never know if it’s your last one,’” Lackey said. “If you start thinking this is something easy, it’s time for you to go home.”

Six Cubs relievers combined for three scoreless innings.

Cardinals starter Michael Wacha needed just 60 pitches to cruise through the first six innings, striking out eight, before running into trouble in the seventh. Anthony Rizzo and Bryant started the inning with singles and Russell drove a 2-1 pitch over the left field wall to give the Cubs a 3-1 lead.

Wacha (12-9) was chased after allowing the first six Cubs to reach base in the seventh.

Heyward and Tommy La Stella had RBI doubles as the Cubs sent 10 batters to the plate against three St. Louis pitchers.

Paul DeJong’s single scored Jedd Gyorko to give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead in the second.

Former Cub Dexter Fowler came to the plate with the bases loaded as the tying run in the eighth, but Carl Edwards Jr. got him to fly weakly to right field, ending the Cardinals’ threat.

Area football preview: EU-Stanton leads slate of games

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

East Union at Stanton STANTON — East Union came out of last Friday’s 34-6 home loss to Lenox shell-shocked.

The Eagle offense did not score a point as EU’s lone points came on a Matthew Wittstock kickoff return.

East Union (4-1, 2-1) could not convert on several opportunities deep in Lenox territory and barely eclipsed 100 yards of offense. The

run game that propelled the team to a state ranking went silent as no East Union player ran for more than 3 yards and the leading offensive player for East Union was Matt McGuire and his 37 yards receiving.

Now, East Union has to find a way to reignite its offense for the team considered by most to be the best in 8-player District 6.

Stanton (5-1, 3-0), coming in averaging 63.3 points per game over its last three contests is led by its attack of quarterback Keygan Day (1,238 yards passing and a 23-3

touchdown to interception ratio), athlete Drake Johnson (400-plus yards rushing and receiving) and wide receiver Dillion Rocha (402 yards through the air).

The Eagle defensive line and secondary will need to play their best game of the season thus far to negate the skill of the Vikings.

Colton Abell, (2 sacks) and Joshua Hardy (12.5 tackles) will need to lead a better all-around effort from the Eagles defense after good individual efforts a week ago.

Rocha is a force on the defen-

sive end with 51.5 tackles, 12 stops for loss and five sacks.

Johnson has already recorded a state-best seven interceptions defensively, and the Vikings have Hardy turned opponents over 17 times.

The Eagles, already with one district loss, need a win to thrust themselves back into the playoff

picture. A loss, with a game coming up the following Friday against Bedford, puts their playoff hopes in jeopardy.

Bedford (3-2, 2-0) hosts Murray this week, before finishing its season with the brutal stretch of East Union, Lenox and then Stanton.

Postseason opportunities are up for grabs, and opportunities can’t be wasted in week six.

Lenox (3-3, 2-1) has a bye before coming back to host Stanton next week.

Pleasantville at Mount Ayr MOUNT AYR — After falling against Class 1A District 5’s best team in Pella Christian, Mount Ayr comes back for homecoming to play the second best team in the district in Pleasantville.

The Raiders played a more explosive offense a week ago. This week, it’s the Trojan defense that has yet to give up more than 8 points in a game.

Pleasantville (5-0, 3-0) is coming off a 50-6 win over Woodward Academy in which it held Academy under 100 yards of offense and forced three turnovers.

BUSSEY — Two straight twoset wins at a triangular with Mormon Trail and Twin Cedars in Bussey Tuesday moved Murray back over .500 at 8-6 this season.

Barber Zoie Lecy had a total of 14 kills and MacKenna Skroh added seven.

Serving leaders were Twila Barber, Skroh and Becca Decker, who combined to serve successfully on 46 serves.

Barber and Decker Decker combined for 24 assists.

“Got back on the winning track tonight with a couple of much needed wins,” Murray coach Jerry Shields said. “Did a good job of serving this evening. Still need to get better on our passing. Have a big conference match coming up on Thursday against Lamoni (119) as both teams are undefeated in the Western Division of the conference.”

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny didn’t watch the Cubs’ celebration.

“Usually when I watch we don’t have any more games to play,” Matheny said. “We’re getting ready for tomorrow. When I watch in the playoffs it’s because our season was over. Our season is not over.”

Caroll team (22-19). The only loss was 29-12 to a 4-1 Norwalk team in the second game of the season.

The Huskies are adjusting to the loss of all-district linebacker and running back Conner Van Pelt, who ran for 288 yards in 55 carries before suffering a broken leg.

“They beat Carroll without him,” Morrison noted. “They lined up to throw a little bit more, but they still have capable backs.”

Logan Connelly, a 205-pound junior, and 170-pound junior Hunter Pashek have inherited some of the ball-carrying duties. Senior Brady Porter has also provided 176 yards in 42 carries.

Junior quarterback Casey Kleemeier is also a capable runner in the option game, and frequently rolls out of the pocket to find a number of possible targets. Andrew Nicholl (nine catches, 128 yards and two TDs) and Ty Gilliland (eight catches for 94 yards) are the top two receivers. Junior Kaden Shaw, son of Winterset assistant coach and former all-state Creston tailback Dennis Shaw, is a threat at receiver and a starting cornerback for the Huskies.

“First of all, Winterset is impressive up front,” Morrison said.

“They get off the ball and they block extremely well. If they get in the red zone they will get in a heavy formation and try to run it right at

to improve upon its district-best 1,455 rushing yards.

Zach Murphy (496 rushing yards and five touchdowns) and Brad Phelps (302 rushing yards and four touchdowns) have solidified themselves as the primary backfield tandem among Mount Ayr’s seven players with at least 10 rushing attempts this season.

Mount Ayr Phelps will have to take special care to control the football, as Pleasantville has forced 19 turnovers with four of them going for scores.

really care about the Nationals.”

BAD BLOOD Rizzo was hit by a 99 mph fastball on the first pitch he saw from Wacha with two outs and nobody on in the first. Rizzo was visibly upset after getting hit, throwing his bat over-handed towards the Cubs’ dugout.

Earlier in the day, Cardinals OF Tommy Pham told media that he believed he was hit by a pitch on purpose by the Cubs in Tuesday night’s game.

Both batters were hit in the ribs.

TRAINING ROOM Cubs: OF Albert Almora Jr. (bruised right shoulder) is day-to-

day.

Cardinals: C Yadier Molina will undergo further testing under the league’s concussion protocol.

UP NEXT Cubs: RHP Kyle Hendricks (7-5, 3.14 ERA) has made eight consecutive quality starts. He is 2-2 with a 3.62 ERA in his career against St. Louis, including taking a no-hitter into the ninth inning in his last start at Busch Stadium on Sept. 12, 2016.

Cardinals: RHP Lance Lynn (11-8, 3.47 ERA) could possibly be making his final start as a Cardinal after six seasons with the club.

you. They’ll do some typical Winterset stuff in terms of play-action passing and rolling their quarterback out of the box where they look to flood a zone. He’s an athletic kid.”

The Panther coaches are tweaking the Sevier lineup on both sides of the ball.

On the offensive side, guard Kendall Crawford and center Blake Sevier are switching positions, with Crawford taking over the snapping duties.

“We just think we need the physicality of Merritt inside and Smallwood at linebacker against this type of team,” Morrison said.

“Merritt went out during the fourth quarter with the same hamstring problem he’d been out with, but we think he’s good to go for Friday. Bierle is good to go, too.”

When Creston/O-M has the ball, Morrison said a more consistent passing threat is needed to loosen the opposing defense. While running back Mitchel Swank and Smallwood at quarterback have proven to be a good one-two rushing combination, teams haven’t been committing much personnel to covering the passing attack.

“Winterset lines up those safeties at 10 yards and they’re ready for run support right now,” Morrison said. “We know we have to get something going in the passing game, or they’re going to keep nine guys in the box an make it tough to run the ball.”

And, Morrison added, the negative plays from penalties and fumbled snaps that have halted drives this season must be minimized against a Huskies team that relies on ball control and an advantage in possession time.

Kickoff against Winterset is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

The freshmen will play at 4:45 p.m. before the varsity game. JV will play at Winterset at 6 p.m.

Monday.

Defensive moves To meet Winterset’s physical offensive attack, senior linebacker Dustin Merritt is moving to the inside spot manned by freshman Garon Wurster and sophomore Eli Hartman last week. That leaves Dalten Bierle, coming off a shoulder and rib injury, sharing an outside linebacker spot with previous cornerback Kylan Smallwood. Rylan Luther maintains his other outside linebacker position.

That would put Evan Jacob- Jacobson son and Camden Peterson in the cornerback positions when Smallwood moves up to help the run support in the box.

Cael Lester has added 249 rushing yards and three scores.

Owen Worthington is 30 of 57 passing this season for 429 yards and five touchdowns with Tyree (six receptions, 122 yards and two touchdowns) and Gauge Van Haalen (eight receptions and 93 receiving yards) as his main targets.

A meaningful game will take place with district implications in Truro as well, as Interstate 35 (3-2, 1-2) hosts Central Decatur (4-1, 2-1).

Nodaway Valley at Southwest Valley

CORNING — Winless against the undefeated.

Southwest Valley (5-0, 3-0) welcomes Nodaway Valley to town Friday on a roll on the defensive side of the ball.

The Timberwolves, who received 13 votes in the most recent Class 1A poll, are the owners of two consecutive

shutouts and are allowing just 4.2 points per game this season.

Nodaway Valley enters averaging 6.8 points per game and is coming off a 48-6 loss at Griswold.

Brady Hilpipre has emerged as a steady presence out of the backfield for the Wolverines, as he now has 235 rushing yards.

The Wolverine offensive line has been able to find success at points late in games as well as it gains experience.

Finding a push against Southwest Valley’s quick and athletic defensive fronts will be a challenge for Schafroth the Wolverines on Friday.

Brett Schafroth (10 tackles) and Grant Maurer (6 tackles) led the Timberwolves defense in last week’s 21-0 shutout of Martensdale-St. Marys in which Southwest Valley turned the Blue Devils over four times.

The Timberwolves will enter with a chance for their fourth defensive shutout of the season.
