Successful college coach has fond memories leading Tiger football, basketball teams ■

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

LENOX — A key figure in some of the most memorable athletic teams in Lenox High School history was welcomed back Friday night during the Tigers’ homecoming game against longtime rival East Union.

Dennis Caryl, now residing in Topeka, Kansas,

with wife Betty (Brand), a Sharpsburg native, was named honorary captain for the game by first-year head coach Matt Malausky. Caryl taught history, government and physical education and coached the school’s football and girls basketball teams from 1967 to 1972.

This year, Malausky succeeded 21-year coach Allen Dukes, who was a senior on Caryl’s final team in Lenox.

Tom Christensen, longtime assistant for both Dukes and now Malausky, was a senior pulling guard on the 8-1 football team coached

by Caryl in 1971.

The only other time Caryl had been back in Lenox was for the funeral visitation of

Christensen’s mother, Rose, in early 2015.

“My old high school coach at West Delaware does this, and after I saw that, I thought if I’m ever a head coach again, I’m going to do this,” Malausky said.

Caryl appeared at midfield with Lenox co-captains Colby Lange, Dawson Tullberg, Jared Hensley, David Cortez and Noah Standley for the pregame coin toss.

He then watched an exciting game with 10 lead changes in a 44-34 loss to the undefeated Eagles. Caryl said it was an enjoyable homecoming.

“The big thing I remember about Lenox is the people,” Caryl said, while

surrounded by old acquaintances at halftime of Friday’s game. “Just look at the crowd here tonight. They’ve always turned out and supported their teams here.”

Dukes coached the Tigers to 13 playoff appearances and four championship games, including a state title in 2008. As a coach, Dukes said he often harked back to those days as a player under coach Caryl.

“He was a tough coach, but fair,” Dukes said. “We would run a mile out to the airport and the biggest thing I remember is that you could not get beat by him. When I started coaching, I kind of molded myself after what he CARYL | 2A

Train crashes into New Jersey station; injuries reported HOBOKEN, N.J. (AP) — A commuter train from New York barreled into a New Jersey rail station during the Thursday morning rush hour, causing an unknown number of injuries. Witnesses reported seeing one woman trapped under concrete and many people bleeding.

TV footage and photos from the scene show damage to the rail car and extensive structural damage to the Hoboken station. Images on social media show a train that appears to have gone through the bumper stop at the end of a track.

“The next thing I know, we are plowing through the platform,” passenger Bhagyesh Shah told NBC New York. “It was for a couple seconds, but it felt like an eternity.”

Nancy Bido, a passenger on the train, told WNBC-TV in New York that train didn’t slow as it pulled into the station. “It just never stopped.

It was going really fast and the terminal was basically the brake for the train,” she said.

He said the train was crowded, particularly the first two cars, because they make for an easy exit into the Hoboken station and onto the PATH train. Passengers in the second car broke the emergency windows to get out.

“I saw a woman pinned under concrete,” Shah told NBC New York. “A lot of people were bleeding; one guy was crying.”

New Jersey Transit spokeswoman Jennifer Nelson said on Fox News that there are multiple injuries, but it wasn’t immediately clear how many or how seri-

“THE NEXT thing I know, we are plowing through the platform. It was for a couple seconds, but it felt like an eternity.”

ous. She said about 250 passengers are usually on board the train around this time.

The train came to a halt in a covered area between the station’s indoor waiting area and the platform. A metal structure covering the area collapsed.

“It simply did not stop,” WFAN anchor John Minko, who witnessed the crash, told 1010 WINS. “It went right through the barriers and into the reception area.”

The train had left Spring Valley, New York, at 7:23 a.m. and crashed into Hoboken Terminal at 8:45 a.m., said NJ Transit spokeswoman Nancy Snyder. She said authorities are investigating what might have caused the train to crash.

The National Transportation Safety Board was opening an investigation into the crash and will send a team of investigators to the scene, said Keith Holloway, a spokesman for the board.

The Federal Railroad Administration also dispatched investigators to the crash scene, said spokesman Matthew Lehner.

Rail service was suspended in and out of Hoboken, which is directly across the TRAIN | 2A

Today is Sept. 29, the 273rd day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 93 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Sept. 26-Oct. 2) in history:

10 years ago In just about three to four years, Creston High School (CHS) could look very different as the board looked into the future. In regard to change, CHS Principal Todd Wolverton believed “everything was on the table.� Some of the possible changes, from current projects to plans that were down the road, were flipping the freshman and senior year to ease loads for new students while challenging soon-to-be graduates, seminars would have more emphasis on studies, struggling students would go from seminars to special classes where they would get more attention and assistance, integrating new technologies, building relationships with local businesses so students could have on-the-job training in their interest area, structuring the entire day differently and no free blocks for seniors.

20 years ago Jeff Finn, Creston High School senior, recounted his experiences from Aug 1 to 31 in Nicaragua as a Witness for Peace delegate. Nicaragua was a war-torn Central American country of four million people, half of them under the age of 16. Finn’s older brother, Scott, of West Virginia, was also a delegate. “I was to find that ‘street children’ were thick like flies in a landfill.

Unemployment was at 60 percent, leaving thousands of skilled men and women on the streets selling goods and begging alongside little children,� Jeff said. teams, not individuals.� “He was a great coach,� said Deb (Hoffman) Bender, a member of the district final basketball team. “He made us do our best. He’d pull out of us what we didn’t think we could do. We played (halfcourt) 3-on-3 then, but he’d have us practice with the guys and run up and down the court. He had us in shape!�

Bender was part of what was known as the “Fearsome Foursome� then, along with Linda Bradley, Kathie Dukes and Joyce Kopp.

Caryl married one of his former players in Betty Brand of Sharpsburg. “The day after she graduated I asked her out,� Caryl recalled.

It was a culture change in Lenox those early years. In fact, for a time Caryl had the Tigers wearing Green Bay Packers green and gold uniforms instead of the Tigers’ traditional black and yellow, a move that took some persuasion to get past the school board. “In our first year Don Bradley (1968 graduate) had four touchdowns at Orient one night and the next day I saw his dad standing out in the parking lot,� Caryl said. “His dad said, ‘He can’t get up and do his chores. If that doesn’t stop, he’s not going to play football anymore!’ I thought, well, OK. We’ll have to make sure that doesn’t happen again. Next to a kid I

“The entire city was in ruins from an earthquake that hit some 18 years ago.

Most lived in small, poorly constructed shacks with tin roofs, dirt floors and no electricity or running water.�

A revised building plan for the Gibson Memorial Library remodeling and addition project was approved by the library’s board of trustees members, Loy Christensen, Kris Kerrigan, Ann Coulter and Don Hall.

Changes included elimination of a wall to the computer room, a $9,000 security system, reduction of windows and light fixtures and other structural modifications.

Between $58,000 and $79,000 in cuts had at a 6A school in Georgia, Don was the fastest back I ever had in high school.�

Pat Bradley and Dennis Hayworth were each 1,000yard rushers for Lenox on that 8-1 team four years later.

Dukes was a junior, waiting his turn, and his senior year in 1972 the Tigers were not as successful.

Coaching qualities But, Caryl saw qualities in Dukes that made him become a winning coach. “In coaching you get to see people under pressure,� Caryl said. “Dukes did not give up. It was a tough year. But he would always fire them up and say, ‘We got a new game next week. We gotta get after them!’ He always had that in him. He was always positive and hung in there and did everything he could.�

After leaving Lenox, Caryl made several high school and college coaching stops, including a private session in a Chicago restaurant with famed Chicago Bears assistant Buddy Ryan while attending a coaching clinic there. That’s where he learned the “46 defense� that helped make the Bears Super Bowl champions.

Caryl, now 74, used that defense at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, and eventually finished his coaching career in Topeka as defensive coordinator for the Arena Football League team there.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, September 29, 2016

Superintendent update on school improvement projects Over recent years we have accumulated quite a list of potential facility upgrades or capital projects that would certainly benefit students and our community. However, as usual there is not enough funding available to support every single project all at once. Therefore we must continue to project facility needs and associated potential costs and budget accordingly.

School board policies and the Iowa code dictate the various processes that are required according to the size of each project.

Funds for capital projects are typically generated through the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) or through the Secure and Advanced Vision for Education (SAVE) sales tax. These funds are limited to use for facilities and equipment. Heating and cooling systems, roofs, windows, concrete repair and other general facility maintenance projects are also paid for with PPEL and SAVE funds.

PPEL and SAVE dollars may not be used for salaries, benefits or other general fund expenditures. Therefore, it is possible for a district to find itself in a position where staff positions are being reduced due to general fund demands while upgrading a school facility with PPEL or SAVE dollars at the same time. That can really frustrate people, but school resources from each fund can only be utilized for specific, strictly governed purposes. School funds aren’t all dumped into the same universal “kitty” like our personal checking accounts at home.

are planned and produced. Problem-solving, writing, editing, communication skills and technical skills are all a part of this initiative.

This applied learning will stick with our students and will inspire them to reach out for extended learning.

Many other project-based lessons are being learned with technology serving as a vehicle for student engagement and new learning.

Potential projects Other possible projects that continue to be considered and discussed include a solution for safer pick-up and drop-offs at the Early Childhood Center (ECC), playground updates at the ECC and the elementary middle school which will hopefully include adaptive play areas for youngsters that have unique physical abilities or challenges, expanded parking at the elementary middle school, a bleacher upgrade on both the visitor and home sides of the stadium, upgraded concession areas, repaired and upgraded fencing, upgrades to the auditorium including curtains, sound system controls and lighting repairs and improvements, and a FieldTurf surface on Panther Field. The list is never-ending.

The FieldTurf surface offers improved safety for students, increased student access in wet weather conditions and significant efficiencies when compared to current practices in grounds keeping, fertilizing, mowing, watering, aerating and weed control. The field could then be more extensively used by physical education classes, our outstanding marching band,

soccer, track and field, football and various local youth programs, as well as Southwestern Community College. The new turf could allow such events as an annual marching band contest or clinic such as Valley Fest.

This would bring a large number of guests to town over a weekend and could potentially provide a nice yearly boost to our local economy. Teams and the band could also practice on this surface in wet conditions that currently limit their outdoor practices and rehearsals. Recent concussion findings have indicated that youngsters suffer from a lower rate of concussions when their heads hit the new turf surfaces as compared to hitting the hard ground.

Many projects are continually being carefully considered and prioritized. Again, just like at home, we can’t do everything we would like and certainly not all at the same time. Careful budgeting continues and that includes careful considerations of student learning, safety, funding and timing. We will continue to do our best to keep our community informed about various projects being considered and accompanying decisions. Community input will be gathered and carefully considered especially in regards to the larger possible projects mentioned above. We will do our best to make decisions that best serve our local students and reflect the wishes of our community. We’re all in this together.

As the holiday season comes, I would like to make you aware of a problem we are facing. Yes, go to the pet store or to a breeder, see that little baby with precious eyes, just begging to go home with you.

That is wonderful, but please remember in about three months, that little baby turns into an adult animal. Then the attitude changes toward that dog or cat. Remember when you buy or adopt a pet, it is to be the “forever home” for these animals. But ...

I am not sure if you are aware of the fact that the city of Creston is having a problem with stray kittens and grown cats. There are more than to even guess how many are out there homeless.

I am definitely a “no kill” person, but something is going to have to be done soon. Some of these ani-

mals are ill or have special needs.

Another terrible thing is happening to these animals that are friendly – individuals that do not like cats are doing mean, terrible things to them. Not all cats are friendly, but the ones that are, will come up to people thinking they are going to be kind ... many are not. This turns my stomach.

I am well aware that we have many individuals in town that make it their daily routine to go to different sections of town and feed and water the kittens and cats. But in reality, they are not helping the problem. Yes, the cats are not starving, but they are multiplying.

Both of our animal care organizations are working hard to find homes for these animals. One is looking for farms that will take them, but so many of the farms already have their share, and taking more is not an option.

Our city pound can only house about 10 cats, and that is pushing it.

Dog Gone Rescue has been making room for them, but they are not really equipped to deal with cats.

The city animal control is trying very hard to work with people to catch these animals and hopefully give them homes. But there again, if a live trap is set, someone comes along and knocks it down, no problem solved.

This is not something that I agree with, but if something is not done soon, my own personal thoughts are we will have to somehow get all these animals caught, placed in homes or put to sleep.

If any of you have any suggestions or solutions, please contact me. As a city councilperson, I certainly want to make our city a safe place for humans and animals.

Please remember pets are accepting you as their “forever home.” Please don’t let them down.

A Sunday with no absentees There’s a story about a church in east Texas that supposedly had some producing oil wells on the church property. The wells were a lucrative source of income for that congregation.

On the Sunday the income from the wells was distributed among the members of the congregation, there was always 100 percent attendance. The rule was that if a member was not present that day, he or she lost his or her part of the revenue.

Don’t you guess that even Aunt Sally, whose “folks made her go to church when she was a child, and now doesn’t have to go,” was there on time? Don’t you imagine that Uncle Fred, who has had arthritis so bad that he couldn’t make it to worship for years, suddenly got much better? How about those folks who just had to go some place to visit a friend or relative? Would to noon ReRun shop; 4:30 to 5 p.m. confession; 5:15 p.m. Mass.

they have put that off if it happened to interfere with their presence at the service when money was doled out?

Is the story fact or fiction? It doesn’t matter. If is is true, it shows where people have their vested interests. If it is not, it surely teaches us a big lesson.

Christians who, through pure carelessness or indifference, miss the worship with the saints, lose something of far greater value than money. They begin a course of carelessness that endangers their souls. A local church also loses.

What will a man give in exchange for his soul?

We won’t be giving out dividends in cash for attendance but we will provide the opportunity for sincere worshipers to show their love and adoration of God.

10 minutes to clean!

Help, Heloise!: My friends often call to announce that they are popping over in 10 MINUTES. What are the biggest areas to focus on so they’ll be in at least a somewhat-ordered apartment? I don’t have time for a deep cleaning; I’m just going for the illusion of tidiness and sanitation. Ha! – Julie B., Bloomington, Ind. Julie, don’t panic. Here are some hints for you: First, step into your doorway/foyer area and look at your living space the way your guests would. What sticks out?

Clothes strewn about? Dirty dishes, newspapers, magazines? Pick up these biggies and stow them in a trash bag or bin temporarily, and toss them in a closet or room where no one will go.

Next stop? Bathroom.

Remove spots from the mirror, wipe out the sink with a vinegar/water mixture and swish a brush in the toilet bowl with your usual cleaner.

Run the vacuum or sweep the big areas to eliminate dust bunnies.

Then relax and enjoy the evening. – Heloise FRIENDSHIP TEA

New Look, Same Great Expectations!

By MAYA STRUHAR Dear Reader, My hope is that as you’re reading this, you have high expectations for what The Prowler will bring to you during the 2016-2017 school year. My name is Maya Struhar, and being the Senior Editor of the Prowler this year, it is my job to make sure that your expectations stay high, and we continue to deliver to them.

This year, we have sixteen students on staff for our Publications team,which is responsible for the production of both The Prowler, our school newspaper, and The Crest, our annual yearbook.

All fifteen students are hand-selected wonderful juniors and seniors at Creston High School, and all of our work is done under the advisory of our wonderful new teacher, Ms. Kylie Haggerty.

“I am excited to be a part of the Creston community. I think Publications classes offer a unique experience for students to see the value of the products they create,” said Haggerty.

Ms. Haggerty isn’t the only one holding us to a high standard this school year, though, we as students have high goals for the school year, and we intend on succeeding above and beyond them. In the words of junior staff member Sabrina Miller, “our goal for the school year is to produce quality content.” Piggybacking off of Sabrina, junior staff member Sydney Martin really wants to “produce the

most

memorable yearbook ever.”

The Crest is Creston High School’s yearbook, and we have a fantastic Senior Editor for that as well, Erin Hanson.

Erin joined publications because “I have always been really interested in English classes, and when I joined publications I was interested in journalism as a career.”

This year will be Vol. 104, “Oh The Places We’ve Been!” We plan on putting a twist on Dr. Seuss’ infamous

A Splash of Color

By ALLIE FINDLAY 20 years ago, tattoos and piercings were so taboo in the professional environment that people had to hide them, as if if they were seen you could lose your job. Today, they are starting to become more and more accepted.

piece “Oh The Places You’ll Go” to liven up the memories that are forever locked on every page.

Junior staff member Victoria Borha’s favorite Dr. Seuss quote really wraps up how high school works, and why we put so much effort into making a yearbook. “You never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” -Dr. Seuss.

I would like to give a huge thank you to our readers for always being so supportive of our Publications Staff and what we do as student journalists. It is my pleasure to welcome thirteen new staff members into our class this year, and it is my hope that they will continue to uphold the high standards we have held in the community in our past.

Public schools are universally thought of as safe places where students go to learn. The idea of your local school not being as safe as they thought is not comforting to most. For the Creston School, that is exactly the case, though. Our administrators realized this after a security audit took place and have spent the last couple of years making plans to revamp the security system at the high school.

The school will have many new features. The main change to how the school operates now is that door’s previously available to all will be locked throughout the day.

There is also going to be a new buzz-in and camera system with key cards for the teach-

ers. New cameras will also be installed inside and outside the school so they can monitor activities. Doors will be set up on a timer to lock during certain hours. Also, all of the old, outdated phones are going to be replaced with new phones.

There are other small changes that are going to be included, such as fence adjustments and new, safer playgrounds.

Discussion for the new security equipment started around two years and has been set on a timeline since then. In the words of superintendent Steve McDermott, “Security equals inconvenience.” Most people have the same general response to the new security changes.

Many students expressed that the changes are annoying, but they understand why the school shouldn’t be as accessible as it is. Some concerns

with the buzzer system were mentioned. “It’s not a jail,” stated senior Livi Hartman when expressing distaste to the current plans for buzzing into the school. This piece of information, many students asked an important question; if teachers are getting keycards, why aren’t students getting them also? Turns out, the answer is quite simple. We don’t have the money. However, most people believe that the lack of security has left us vulnerable and anything is an improvement over what we have now.

While the future of the system is still blurry, this is the be all to end all to address our security needs until the new system becomes obsolete. Aside from small changes, this should be all that’s going to change.

While inconvenient, most people agree it’s necessary.

There are still some people who believe tattoos should be covered up but the Roberts’ are more than welcomed into our school. They both believe the school systems are improving with accepting the alternative style and hope with the coming generations it won’t matter if you have tattoos and piercings as long as you can do the job well.

The Creston community as a whole is quite conservative, with that a big concern is how well the students will be able to learn from a teacher outside of the basic teacher who is prim, proper, and cleaned up. At the end of an interview with Aleisha Larkin, a senior at the high school and member of FBLA, she asked me,

“Does having tattoos have ANYTHING to do with having the capability to teach?”

This is a very similar pattern not only with students but staff as well. When asking Mr. Birchard,teacher and coach, if he thought my piercings and future tattoo ideas would impair my chances at getting a job at a school he said it has become a norm, and that the principals are starting to look at if they can do the job and if their piercings and tattoos will get in the way.

Multiplication and Memories

By MATTEA REED

Mr. Veitz had been in the Creston school community for 34 years as a very caring Math teacher. Gary Veitz, 59 of Creston died Thursday, Sept. 1, 2016. He retired on May 31, 2016 when he decided he did his time of teaching.

Then, about a month, later Gary found out that he had cancer.

Mr. Veitz was a very good, nice, and caring teacher. He was always willing to help a student out with any math problem. Mr. Veitz was always making a student laugh. Steven Stow, a student at Creston High, shared a memory about Mr. Vietz saying he made him cry on his birthday because he was messing around then started laughing and let him off the hook.

Sydney Martin, also a student at Creston High School, talked about how Mr. Veitz use to have someone push him down the hall while he was in his chair on wheels.

Mr. Clark, an 8th science teacher, was one of Mr. Veitz close buddies who shared many great times with him. Mr. Clark shared one of his favorite memories about Mr. Veitz “Mr. Otten was in the front of the room and Gary took his

glasses off and sat them down. So I switched glasses with him [Gary] then Gary put my glasses on. He kept taking them off and wiping them off talking about how he couldn’t see a thing. Then he realized I switched our glasses and it took everything to hold the laughter in.”

Mrs. Hartsock, a 6th and 7th Social Studies teacher, she worked with him for 17 years. She talked about how much she enjoyed watching him play against the students with ”Hoops for Hearts.” Hoops For Heart (HFH) are national education and fundraising programs jointly sponsored by SHAPE America and the American Heart Association. Mrs. Hartsock also added that he was always laughing at his own jokes even if he was the only one. Mr. Veitz will always be remembered as a great teacher, and even better friend.

Area football: Eagles staying focused on task at hand n Key Eight-player District 6 showdown looms for East Union Friday against Stanton

By RYAN KRONBERG I’ve seen a lot of growth and case. They understand we’re 36-0 win over Murray last CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

AFTON — It could be easy for East Union’s football team to believe the hype surrounding itself.

The Eagles are off to one of their better starts ever at 5-0 overall and 3-0 in Eight-player District 6.

But co-coach James Hardy noted how the team and coaches are working to block out the growing attention coming their way and stay focused on the tasks at hand.

The next step for the Eagles comes Friday when they host Stanton.

“Throughout the season,

The focus this week and come Friday night is doing what they can to remain perfect on the season.

“When you start to have success, that’s going to attract attention. Those are things we need to understand,” Hardy said. “That’s part of the maturation process. We’re hoping to continue. That’s going to be the

taking it one game at a time, then breaking it down to one play at a time.”

Hardy has seen the team keep their focus.

“We know its important for us to stay humble and focus on the little things that are important,” Hardy said.

“That’s been happening.”

Each remaining week, the Eagles will have a solid test.

Among the games remaining includes a showdown with sixth-ranked Bedford in Bedford next Friday.

“From here on out, it’s a playoff game after playoff game,” Hardy said. “That’s where we need to be at.”

Stanton is coming off a

“They have good size.

They have good speed,” Hardy said. “We know they have good coaching. They have a state title under their belt in Eight-man football.

We know what they have.

We have go again this week.”

Panthers look for sixth straight win over Huskies

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s Friday opponent has a tendency to hang around a bit longer than what’s comfortable.

The Panthers defeated Winterset 34-12 in Winterset a year ago. In fact, the Panthers have defeated the Huskies in each of the last five seasons by scores of 42-34 (2014), 32-20 (2013), 20-19 (2012) and 29-7 (2011). Winterset last won the game 28-7 in 2010.

Winterset is 1-4, but has found ways to stay close even in losing games. In last week’s 31-13 Winterset loss to Carroll, the Huskies managed to limit the Carroll offense.

“We’ve gotta be disciplined about what we do up front, make sure we pick up the blitzing linebackers so we can run the ball effectively,” Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison said.

Husky hefty defense?

Winterset has had solid defensive outings multiple times this season, with the main exception being the Huskies surrendering 56 points against Norwalk, the now No. 3 team in Class 3A. Now the Huskies play host to the No. 4 Panthers and their vaunted offense.

Creston/O-M comes in averaging 318 yards per game

on the ground and has 25 rushing touchdowns alone.

Creston/O-M is averaging 48 points per game, while the Huskies are yielding just 27 points per contest.

Huskie junior linebacker Conner Van Pelt enters the game with 60 tackles as Winterset’s defensive leader.

Noah Larson, an exceptional athlete on both sides of the ball, has 33 tackles, three solo tackles for loss and a sack.

Huskie ‘O’ wishes to get going Winterset in recent years has consistently ran frequently out of a base wishbone offense. Three backs will line up in the backfield, but senior Brad Benshoof will get the majority of the meaningful touches for the Winterset offense.

Benshoof has 508 yards on the ground this season with four touchdowns. He averages 5.8 yards per carry.

“The running back (Benshoof) is pretty dynamic. He was a good player for them the last two years. He’s as good as it gets. We have got to make sure we stop and limit his yards,” Morrison said.

Larson will operate as the quarterback, while run the ball some and will lead a sprinkle of spread out formations to offer different looks from Winterset’s offensive base wishbone.

Larson completed 8-of-22

passes against Carroll for 211 yards and a touchdown. Benshoof and Larson combined for 81 yards rushing against the sixth ranked team in Class 3A. No Winterset receiver has hit double digit receptions as of yet, but four different players have at least four catches and a touchdown.

Huskie fight Coming into its third game against a state top 10 ranked team, don’t expect Winterset to come in tentative. The Huskies should be expected to test the Panthers, run the ball right at the defense and could try some non-conventional plays to create an equalizer in what could be their stiffest test of the year.

“The kids from Winterset always play hard,” Morrison said.

His team has no intention of slowing down in week six against the home team Huskies.

In fact, the head coach claimed that Tuesday might just have been his team’s best practice of the season.

He had a couple simple goals for his squad to accomplish what they’re setting out to do.

“Limit mistakes, play fast on both side sides of the football.,” Morrison said.

sults of an MRI on the knee either today (Thursday) or tomorrow. The immediate prognosis was not optimistic for Eslinger, but nothing is known for sure yet.

SWCC netters swept by NECC

Down two of its better hitters, Southwestern Community College battled even in losing in three straight sets to Northeast Community College.

The Spartans lost by scores of 19-25, 15-25 and 23-25.

“I was really pleased with how we played overall. I thought we actually came to

Griswold and Martensdale-St. Marys.

Southwest Valley will look to keep that momentum going in Friday’s contest at Nodaway Valley.

“Right now, we’re clicking on all cylinders,” said Southwest Valley coach Anthony Donahoo.

In last Friday’s 55-12 win at Martensdale-St. Marys, the Timberwolves rushed for 337 yards and passed for another 81. In the win over Griswold, the Timberwolves rushed for 267 yards and passed for 215.

“Our run game is finally getting going, which forces teams to respect that, then we can play with the passing game a bit,” Donahoo said.

Southwest Valley’s offensive line has created big holes in the run game and pass protected well. The Timberwolves front line has given up only one sack this season.

“I can’t say enough about the work the offensive line is doing, which opens up holes and keeps (quarterback) Chance (Cobb) clean in the pocket,” Donahoo said.

Southwest Valley is looking to change recent history against Nodaway Valley, a series the Wolverines hvae dominated in recent years.

“Coach (Steve) Shantz is going to have those kids ready,” Donahoo said.

“They like beating us. We need to prepare like they are the state champions.”

Wolverines out to carry over offensive momentum Nodaway Valley’s passing game found considerable amount of success in last Fri-

play tonight,” SWCC coach Aleesha Cleaver said.

Sophomore captain Brooke Decker landed awkwardly and yelled out in very audible pain late in the first set. She was helped off the floor and sat on the bench with ice on her ankle for most of the rest of the match.

Cleaver said she doesn’t expect Decker to miss much time.

SWCC fell to 3-16 on the season. day’s game against Griswold.

The Wolverines passed for a season-high 271 yards and four touchdowns.

The Wolverines will look to keep that offensive momentum going this week against Southwest Valley. ”A couple of things were working for us. We had great protection all night long and we had a matchup that they could not cover in their man to man pass defense,” said Nodaway Valley coach Steve Shantz. “(Quarterback) Spencer (Lamb) made good throws and Jared (Corder) made nice catches.

We did have other people open on occasions and didn’t find them and also a couple of drops or could have been better.”

The Wolverines are looking to turn things around after a 44-28 loss to Griswold last Friday.

“The players know how important it is to read keys every play and not just when they want or feel like it,” Shantz said. “If we play physical and responsible team football we will be successful. We cannot let them off to a fast start. The longer we stay in the game the more confident we will be.”

Slowing down Cobb will be a key for the Wolverines against the Timberwolves.

“Southwest Valley is a physical and athletic team that starts with the quarterback,” Shantz said. “He (Cobb) is a dual threat who is leading the district in passing and also has about 500 yards running the ball. The have an option attack but also he is a proficient passer and can throw on the run or scramble. Slowing him down will be the key for the defense.”

Raiders look to learn from loss Pella Christian tested Mount Ayr in all phases last Friday.

The Raiders are looking to incorporate what they learned from a 62-14 loss to the second-ranked team in Class 1A heading into Friday’s game at Pleasantville.

The Raiders struggled in all phases in the loss to the Eagles.

“We can’t control the opponent. We can only control ourselves, our effort and attitude,” said Mount Ayr cocoach Delwyn Showalter.

“I don’t think anybody felt good about the way things went. We know we didn’t play as well as we’re capable of. I don’t say that would’ve made a difference. We need to play as well as we can, give as good an effort as we can and control the things we can control.”

What the Raiders can do is improve their effort this week against the Trojans.

“It’s a theme we’ve been harping on all year is we need to play very aggressively,” Showalter said. “When we attack, we’re pretty good.

When we sit back and let teams dictate, we struggle.

We need to play aggressive, attack, do a better job of carrying out our assignments, whether it’s with the blocking scheme up front, passing routes or stunts on defense.

We have to be more disciplined, more precise in the things we’re supposed to do.”

The Raiders did pull out a 24-14 win last season at Pleasantville, a victory that gave the Raiders the district title.

“It was a great game up at their place last year,” Showalter said. “We had a really

It’s going to have to be the same type of effort. We’re going to have to match them physically offensively and defensively.”

Change of plans leads to adjusting for Lenox Practice has been a bit different this week for Lenox.

Instead of preparing for an opponent, they’re working on bettering themselves.

This week’s game with Mormon Trail was cancelled.

The Saints are down to seven healthy players.

Practice has been kept to a lighter tempo, and the team has worked on a few items ahead of next Friday’s game at Stanton.

“We’re just trying to have fun with the kids a little more this week in practice,” said Lenox coach Matt Malausky.

“If we did that for a full two weeks, the kids would be ready to kill us.”

Working on the basics ahead of tests against Stanton, Bedford and Lamoni have been emphasized.

“We’re getting back to some fundamentals,” Malausky said. “It’s important.

That’s what a lot of games boil down to is somebody missing an assignment, poor fundamentals or poor technique. We’re trying to focus on that.”

Another aspect is staying focused with three key games coming up, including two that are ahead of them in the district standings in Stanton, at Stanton next Friday, and at home against Bedford in two weeks.

“That’s super important to keep focused,” Malausky said. “Every game from here on out is a playoff game. The only way we can control our own destiny is if we can win out, then they’d have to take us. The road’s not going to be easy.”

Malausky added that with the week off, several players, and Malausky himself, are going to enjoy time with family, while some coaches will be heading to Murray to watch the Mustangs take on

GODSPEAK: I am gonna stand by my man, Martin Truex Jr. KEN’S CALL: He’s been my pick for several weeks now. He should be everyone’s.

Not even close, given the nature of the knockout format. And given that the next three-race Chase round ends with Talladega. Go into Talladega needing a decent finish to guarantee advancement, and you go into Talladega with a weak stomach. But, you gotta wonder. Think of all those races where Harvick had the car to beat and was indeed beaten, often by bad luck. And then at New Hampshire it turned around — he led the fewest laps (eight) of any race winner this year.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE

Wait, what happened to my Challenger Round?

It doesn’t seem that anyone has noticed, but it’s true: After a two-year effort to hang labels on the Chase’s knockout rounds, NASCAR has given up and gone simplistic. So, no more “Challenger Round” for the first three Chase races, no more “Contender Round” for the next three, or “Eliminator Round” for the three that precede the Homestead championship race. It's now Round of 16, Round of 12, etc.

Does Tony Stewart find a way to stay in the Chase?

GODSPEAK: Forget my picks down there and let’s see Tony in Victory Lane at Dover.

KEN’S CALL: Twenty-first or worse, five of the past six weeks. I think that’s your answer.

Parting gifts for Chris Buescher this weekend?

GODSPEAK: It was fun, right, kid? Just wait until you have a real race car.

KEN’S CALL: Only a nice pat on the back. But he’s gonna be around for many years, I think.

What went wrong?

Two things, I’m guessing. First, no one outside of the PR Department used the terminology. “The next round” is so much easier to remember, you know.

Also, consider the lack of merchandising possibilities accompanying something no one says and, well, you know the rest.

Tony Stewart was “stoned” in New Hampshire, and yes, that’s a good thing. GETTY IMAGES/SARAH CRABILL

1. Stewart stoned

2. No swerving

3. Harvick’s fifth

Tony Stewart won five races in three different motorsports series at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, so the folks at NHMS honored the retiring three-time NASCAR Cup champion with a 7,400-pound engraved granite block. The stone lists all his wins at the “Magic Mile.”

This is a nod to NASCAR raceteam engineers, who figured out how to get a favorable toe-out reading on their stock cars in post-race inspection.

At Chicagoland, drivers were swerving wildly on the cooldown lap to get that toe back in place. Veering around was not allowed at New Hampshire.

When Kevin Harvick took the checkered flag at New Hampshire, it was his fifth Chase victory since the new format was started in 2014. For the record, Harvick is the only driver to get to the Championship Round those first two seasons; first place in 2014, second to Kyle Busch in 2015.

Jamie McMurray is on the outside, looking in, as the Chase heads to Dover with the first cutoff looming.

BOBBY ELLIS/

The first round of the Chase will be complete when the checkered flag falls at Dover on Sunday. Any driver without a win is susceptible to falling out of this playoff. Those under the cut line right now include Jamie McMurray, who is five points behind 12th place. He is followed by Austin Dillon, Tony Stewart and Chris Buescher.

Kyle Larson, McMurray’s teammate, is 12th and carries the bull's-eye into Dover.

at Dover International Speedway. It was precipitation at Pocono that got Buescher into Chase participation, but the anticipation and perspiration suggest Buescher realizes he faces annihilation. “We’re in it, and to be a part of the Chase is a pretty big deal this year,” he said after finishing 30th at New Hampshire.

3. Points racing Kyle Busch all but said his No.

18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota will be points-racing at Dover this weekend. Busch, the defending Cup Series champion, is third in points and 28 points up on 12th place. “We’ve had issues before, and we’ve been able to make our way through or we’ve been knocked out like in years prior,” he said. “You just have to go and fight it out and try to keep track of that big picture.”

DARK HORSE: Kasey Kahne DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Kenseth hustles to victory at Dover after losing by circumstance in New Hampshire.

Kenseth

MARTIN TRUEX JR. VS. MATT KENSETH: The “sorta” teammates battled so hard in the closing laps, they burned up their tires, allowing Kevin Harvick to take the checkered flag.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: It was a weird sequence of cautions that allowed Harvick to work to the front as Kenseth and Truex battled for first. “He wasn’t making that easy,” Truex said.

Picnic: Sunday, Sept. 11, was a perfect day to wrap up the summer with a DaVita celebra-

tion of life picnic. Patients, family, friends and staff all came together to enjoy good food, cool breezes and music by the lake. DaVita and guests enjoyed a band that volunteered their time to remember loved ones who have died from kidney disease and uplift those who struggle with this every day.

Pictured is 604 N. Birch St., one of three September Yards of the Month announced by the Image Enhancement Committee.

Daily absentee ballot stats for general election available DES MOINES – Daily absentee ballot statistics for the November 2016 general election are now available on the Iowa Secretary of State’s website at sos.iowa. gov and clicking on the “general election information” icon on the homepage.

Iowans can also utilize that page to register to vote, find their polling place, request an absentee ballot, track their absentee ballot, obtain information about military and overseas voting and learn more about voting resources available for Iowans with disabilities.

The absentee numbers are broken into three categories: congressional district, state senate district and state house district.

These will be updated each weekday afternoon leading into the Nov. 8 general election.

Sen. Grassley’s Council Bluffs regional director to hold office hours in Corning CORNING – Senator Chuck Grassley’s regional director based in Council Bluffs, Donna Barry, will be holding open office hours Friday in Adams County. The office hours provide an opportunity for Iowans to obtain casework assistance or to express views.

Barry’s schedule is from 1 to 2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30, at Corning City Hall, Council Chambers, 601 Sixth St., in Corning.

Grassley’s offices in Iowa regularly help constituents contact federal agencies to

sort through problems with Social Security payments, military service matters, immigration cases and other issues. His state offices are located in Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des Moines, Sioux City and Waterloo.

“Open office hours are designed to help more Iowans access the assistance that is available from the office of their United States senator. I hope anyone with federal agency-related casework will take advantage of Donna’s visits.”

Grassley said.

Should constituents have any questions, contact Grassley’s Council Bluffs office at 712-3227103.
