et some sleep this weekend Crestonians — because Monday evening you’ll need that extra energy to participate in a community tailgating party at the restored Creston Depot. Why is there a tailgate on Monday?

This year, Creston was selected as the first stop on WHO-TV Channel 13’s RVTV tour — a weeklong event leading up to the CyHawk rivalry game between Iowa and Iowa State scheduled Saturday.

WHO13 RVTV — hosted

by WHO13 sports directors Andy Fales and Keith Murphy — will have live broadcast from Creston at 5, 6 and 10 p.m.

“This is a fun event,” said Ellen Gerharz, Creston Chamber of Commerce executive director. “We are going to create a tailgating atmosphere for people. There will be vendors making your favorite foods. Tents will be up. We will have games. You don’t have to be fan of either team to

Preliminary work on the next installment of the walking/bike trail in Creston could start as early as this week.

Workers plan to clear and mow brush away from the proposed trail location — starting at the Green Valley (GV) dam and working around the east side of the lake and through the beach area and campground — so the land can be surveyed, staked and prepped for construction.

The current trail runs from McKinley Lake and past the YMCA and Southwestern Community College.

It then cuts across the road and up the western property line of Mitchell Marsh to the GV Carr dam.

“What we are ■ For a map of the GV waiting on is but- trail extentoning up a couple sion, see of permits while the page 12A contractor wraps up their other work,” GV State Park Ranger Alan Carr said.

The new addition will be about 3 1/2 miles and share small sections of the road going across the dam and on the east side of the ranger station.

While the dry weather has been tough on farmers, it has been decent weather for construction. Carr said the contractor is confident if the weather holds, the project could be done this fall.

“I’m not quite as optimistic. Every time we try to do a project out here, it takes longer than expected,” Carr said. “It will be exciting to watch the progress once everything gets moving.”

“There is two locations where they have to use our road,” said Union County Engineer Steve Akes. “One is on the dam itself, because the dam is too narrow to add a trail along the side, and the other is up on 130th

First all-female motorcycle ride kicks off Saturday Proceeds from the event go to Dog Gone Rescue animal shelter.

Sometimes all a woman needs is a girl’s night out. And, thanks to Angie Blazek, Lori Glover and Kim Riley, a girl’s night out is fast approaching.

Ladies Lovin Life Poker Run is an all-female motorcycle ride, set for Saturday. Blazek said she

expects between 50 and 60 people to sign up by Saturday for either the motorcycle ride or a party bus that is also available.

“Being with other bikers, they’re not bad people,” Blazek said. “I mean, they get a bad rap, a lot of them do. They’re nice.”

Proceeds will be donated to Dog Gone Rescue — a nonprofit animal shelter located in Creston.

Donations The poker hands are paid back 100 percent to the people, but donations will be given out to a nonprofit organization.

After the motorcycle ride, the women will eat a donated dinner at Cromwell Tap. “We’re having food that’s a free-will donation,” said Blazek.

“And, all that goes to Dog Gone Rescue.”

A small auction of donated items will also be held after the motorcycle ride.

“We have a leather cross-body satchel,” said Blazek. “We have a Harley-Davidson blanket. I think that’s all we’re auctioning.

Everything else we’re raffling, like T-shirts.”

Cards that are signed at each

bar will be put in the raffle.

Ladies Lovin Life The motorcycle ride starts at 11 a.m. Saturday at Montgomery Street Pub. Sign-up starts at 10 a.m., and is $10 for women riding motorcycles and $20 for those on the party bus.

“There’s, like, three of us girls that ride bikes,” said Blazek.

“And, around one night, we was like, we should do a poker run.

Then one thing turned into another.”

RIDE: Continued from Page 1

A poker run is a motorcycle ride where the rider gets a card before starting, then gets it signed or stamped at each stop.

“And then, when you get back to the last place, you draw a poker hand,” said Blazek. “Whoever wins that wins, sometimes, quite a bit of money.”

The ride first goes to Kramers Cafe in Orient for an hour lunch.

Then ladies will ride to KC’s in Bridgewater, The Pub in Corning, Nitro’s in Gravity, The Outpost in Prescott and will end at the

Cromwell Tap in Cromwell. The ride is approximately 130 miles.

“We’ve always just wanted to ride with all women,” Blazek said. “You get men that get out there, got to have the fastest bike. I rode in a lot of them this year; this is my first year out on a bike. They’ll just pass you like you’re sitting still out on the highway.”

Future Blazek said she and others are planning to make Ladies Lovin Life Poker Run an annual event.

“Instead of Dog Gone Rescue, we might do another one (nonprofit),” said Blazek. “Then, we might change the route.”

come to this. It’s about supporting the Creston community. This is a chance for us show off Creston in a positive light.”

Andy likes Creston Fales and Murphy have hosted RVTV for more than eight years. However, this is the first time they have ever stopped in Creston. Murphy expects Creston to be a good stop along the tour this year.

“The main thing is, Andy really likes Creston,” Mur-

phy said. “He thinks it is a nice town and we haven’t been there before. He thought it would be a town that would show up strong.

It seems to be a sports-oriented community, too.”

Creston is the first stop on the tour. Then, in order, stops include Jefferson on Tuesday, Webster City on Wednesday, Iowa Falls on Thursday and Ames on Friday.

The Iowa versus Iowa State game will played in Ames this year. Kickoff is

slated for 5 p.m. Saturday.

Monday’s itinerary RVTV crew will roll into Creston between 11 a.m. and noon Monday.

Murphy said the first hour or two of the day is spent setting equipment up and figuring out logistics, such as Internet, live shots for the television broadcasts and everything else that goes into producing a live television broadcast.

Murphy and Fales also broadcast their afternoon sports talk radio show —

The Murph and Andy Show — from each town they stop in. That show airs from 2 to 4 p.m. on 1460 KXNO. Tailgating begins at 4 p.m. at the restored Creston Depot.

“Come up and join us,” Gerharz said. “I can’t stress enough, you don’t have to be a fan of either team to support this event. There will something for everyone.”

Despite resistance, Senate panel passes Syria strike measure WASHINGTON (MCT) — Even as Congress took a step Wednesday toward authorizing the use of force in Syria, a growing number of lawmakers spoke out strongly against a U.S. military strike and warned that it would draw the United States into an escalating conflict that could spread throughout the Middle East.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a resolution for a likely missile attack against Syrian President Bashar Assad in retaliation for his alleged use of chemical weapons two weeks ago, but it prohibited any involvement of U.S. troops.

“It gives the president the wherewithal to have

the limited military action that he’s asked for in order to punish Assad for the use of chemical weapons and the killing of innocent civilians,” said Sen. Robert Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat who chairs the Senate panel.

“At the same time, it is tightly tailored by having a timeframe in it and by certainly prohibiting American boots — troops — on the ground.”

But the Senate committee’s 10-7 vote indicated deep divisions within Congress that President Barack Obama still must overcome in his quest to demonstrate to Syria, Iran and other nations that the use of chemical or nuclear arms is unacceptable.

“I don’t see a clear-cut

or compelling American interest,” said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. “I see a horrible tragedy, but I don’t see that our involvement will lessen the tragedy. I think it may well make the tragedy worse. I think more civilian deaths could occur.”

“I think an attack on Israel could occur. I think an attack on Turkey could occur,” Paul continued. “I think you could get more Russian involvement and more Iranian involvement.

I don’t see anything good coming of our involvement.”

Before voting on the resolution, the Senate panel defeated Paul’s amendment stating that the Constitution doesn’t grant the president power to launch

a military attack without congressional approval unless the country faces a direct threat.

Seven Democrats voted against it.

Sen. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., voted “present.”

Obama’s top Cabinet officers shuttled between the Senate panel and a key House committee as lawmakers warned them that only a narrow resolution authorizing a limited U.S. military engagement in Syria has a chance of passing Congress.

OPINION Crohn’s: Ranked right next to cancer

Over Labor Day weekend, I visited family in Minnesota. While I was there, I witnessed the slow deterioration of my aunt, Rhonda.

My aunt has Crohn’s disease, and from what I’ve seen of the disease, I rank it right next to cancer in terms of the most hauntingly desolate things to witness.

Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that affects any part of the gastrointestinal tract in the body. The body’s immune system attacks the gastrointestinal tract, for one reason or another.

The disease usually starts up when someone is between the ages of 15 and 30, and those who are younger tend to have the worst cases.

Crohn’s disease, like cancer, has no cure. It is believed to be caused

Girl on fire Bailey Poolman staff writer

by both environmental factors and a genetic predisposition. Siblings of someone with Crohn’s are 30 times more likely to develop the disease, and smokers are at higher risk.

My aunt, my dad’s sister, was diagnosed when she was 18, but she had had symptoms from when she was 13. My uncle Keith, my dad’s uncle, also has Crohn’s, but a slight case in comparison to my aunt’s.

I’ve always known my aunt to be more fragile than the normal person. She has very little muscle mass

or fat, and has had many surgeries to remove diseased body parts. The average person has 20 feet of intestinal tract; my aunt has 18 inches.

Cancer and autoimmune diseases run in my family. I have relatives who had cancer and other relatives who have diseases such as multiple sclerosis and diabetes.

But, the worst case of cancer I’ve witnessed was my uncle, Larry. My uncle, a police officer, had mesothelioma in his abdomen. That kind of cancer is usually found in the lungs from asbestos, but doctors said it could have been caused from laying his radar gun across his stomach.

I remember going to visit family in Carroll one holiday when my uncle was visiting from Washington state. I walked into my aunt and un-

cle’s house. My uncle was sitting at the dining table, and the first thing that popped into my head was how similar he looked to a Jewish prisoner during the Holocaust. He had gone from a barrel-chested, jovial man to one with next to no muscle mass or fat, who was in pain sitting on a wooden chair with no cusion.

My uncle died about seven years ago.

Crohn’s seems to me to be just as debilitating and heartbreaking. No one should have to watch a loved one suffer a disease that eats away at them. My aunt has suffered for about 40 years.

I’ve learned so much about the disease, different diets and management of pain, but what sticks with me the most is how to make some-

one with Crohn’s comfortable.

With no meat on her bones, my aunt is always cold. She has very little intestines and therefore cannot eat foods for nutrients because they won’t digest. She does, however seldom, eat food for pleasure. Because of her lack of an intestinal tract, she was recently required to carry around a colostomy bag, which she keeps hidden to maintain her pride.

Parents should never have to bear witness to the death of a child, but I imagine my grandparents, before too long, will. There is only so much a person can take, only so much their body can suffer, before it gives out. I wish the disease never existed, but until that cure is found, I want to raise an awareness of its awesome, and awful, power.

September happenings September finds the Chamber of Commerce busier than ever.

This is due in large part to the help and assistance the chamber gives to the Creston/Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Committee for the upcoming 36th annual Hot Air Balloon Races weekend to be held Sept. 20 through 22 and WHO’s RVTV in Creston Monday.

WHO’s RVTV: Please remember that WHO TV’s RVTV will be in Creston Monday to kick off their weeklong trip to the Iowa/Iowa State football game in Ames Sept. 14. Keith, Andy and the group will be doing their 5, 6, and 10 p.m. broadcasts live from the Depot parking lot in Uptown Creston.

We are planning a family-friendly tailgate to celebrate their appearance in Creston. The fun starts at 4 p.m. Come for dinner or a snack, or be part of the Best Dressed/Most Supportive Hawk or Cyclone Supporter Contest, play games, cheer on your favorite team, enjoy fun giveaways and more. Please visit the chamber website for a schedule of events www.crestoniowachamber.com.

Mark your calendars now and plan to attend RVTV Monday!

Balloon Days is Coming: Weather permitting, Balloon Days kicks off with a fun flight of many of the balloonists on Friday evening sometime after 5:30 p.m.

The balloon races will be held on Saturday the 21st and Sunday the 22nd. Depending on the wind direction, many of you can step outside your door and enjoy the spectacular view of balloons soaring across Creston on these days or head up to the airport to watch them take off.

In addition to the balloon races and activities, there will once again be the annual parade of bands,

Creston Chamber Ellen Gerharz Executive Director

balloonists and other participants on Saturday morning beginning at 10:30 a.m. in Uptown Creston. You are invited to have an entry in the parade. Please come to the corner of Howard and Chestnut on the 21st by 10 a.m. to be included in the parade.

On Sept. 21, the Creston Hot Air Balloon Days Show and Shine Car Show will be held from noon until 4 p.m. at the Kilgore RV parking lot located at 601 Sheldon Ave. Creston Uptown is the site of various activities for spectators of all ages on Saturday, as well. The flea market and craft fair will be open in the west Depot parking lot from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition, local merchants will be open for your shopping pleasure during the day.

On Saturday afternoon, you can head out to the airport to enjoy the pet show at 2 p.m. Beginning at 2:30 p.m. will be the pedal pull for ages 12 and younger. NightGlow, which will begin at dusk at the airport, wraps up the Saturday activities.

A wide selection of food will be available both Uptown and at the airport for your culinary pleasures during the event.

Brochures listing all activities are available at the chamber or by visiting the Chamber web page at www.crestoniowachamber.com.

The Balloon Committee and CHS junior class parents are selling the annual balloon T-shirts, sweatshirts and pins. This is an excellent opportunity for you to show your support for the event, as well as

market Creston all year long. You can stop by the chamber, located at 208 W. Taylor, to make your purchase before the event or buy merchandise during the event.

Make your plans now to attend the 36th Annual Creston/Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days and see for yourself what Southwest Iowa has to offer.

Other activities taking place in Creston during September is the annual pork chop dinner sponsored by Creston Kiwanis, Lion’s and Rotary clubs Sept. 19 and Creston High School homecoming on the 27th to name a few.

Nominating forms will appear in the paper during the month of September or you may send a brief letter to the chamber outlining why you think the individual you have nominated should be selected.

Dennis Rodman was invited to return to North Korea

HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Dennis Rodman was invited to return to North Korea Tuesday and visit Kim Jung Un and talk basketball with the dictator. How tight is Kim’s grip on his people?

No one in North Korea has the nerve to tell Kim Jung Un that Dennis Rodman is not President Obama.

Mississippi topped a nationwide obesity survey with thirtyfour-percent of the adult citizens at least forty pounds overweight.

It’s amazing. Last week a man in Mississippi was diagnosed with a flesh-eating disease and the doctor gave him forty more years to live.

Hollywood Boulevard movie theaters began installing bulletproof glass at their box offices last weekend. Recently a movie theater was robbed of five hundred dollars. The thieves made off with a large box of popcorn, a large Diet Coke and a box of Milk Duds.

Democratic Party activists and union leaders. Labor support is a core party belief. The Syrians should expect the Obama administration to attack on a Sunday just so they can get time and a half.

President Obama asked Congress to authorize force against Syria’s Bashar al-Assad to help rebels overthrow him. It’s part of the deal. Whenever the CIA installs a dictator, it comes with a factory warranty guaranteeing that every forty years we rotate the tyrants.

John Kerry urged a U.S. attack on Syria Tuesday after acknowledging that the U.S. made mistakes in Iraq. That’s the spirit.

It’s an article of faith in U.S. foreign policy that you can’t undo your mistakes, but you can always make bigger ones that will overshadow them.

Good news, bad news From Gibson Memorial Library Board and Nancy Loudon, city council representative Creston

Good news: $150,000 of Hy-Vee receipts have been turned in. The library will now receive $1,000 as per agreement.

Bad news: Some people have quit saving their receipts. PLEASE CONTINUE TO SAVE YOUR HY-VEE RECEIPTS. This is an ongoing project.

Good news: Jeromy Brown is our new board member. He teaches English, speech and drama at Diagonal Community Schools and has lived in Creston since last September. Thank you, Jeromy, for stepping forward.

Bad news: We need one more board member. Why not get involved? Be a leader and make a difference. Be a library board member.

Good news: Grant applications have been or will be sent to Dekko, BNSF Railroad, Casey’s and Schil-

dbergs to help with the cost of relocating the library to the former Lincoln School.

Bad news: We need current or former railroaders to write letters of support for the relocation. Mail or take your letters to the library.

The Lincoln site will give Union County a terrific library that allows us to reach our full potential and benefit the entire community. We deserve it, and the library board is working, with your help, to make it happen.

From Phil Kinser, CEO/ general manager, Southwest Iowa Rural Electric Cooperative Corning

This is a call to ACTION for rural electric cooperative memberowners and other interested parties.

Recently, a bureaucrat at the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) decided to dramatically change the rules on how rural electric cooperatives, like Southwest lowa REC, receive federal disaster assistance to deal with the aftermath of a tornado, blizzard, ice storm or other catastrophic weather events. More

troubling, FEMA has determined it has the right to apply this change retroactively on funding for federally acknowledged disasters that electric cooperatives received as far back as 2010.

This “moving of the goal posts” is a betrayal of the public trust and has the potential to force our member-owners to repay federal disaster assistance that we were entitled to receive under the terms of our prior agreement with FEMA. If FEMA is allowed to renege on its prior commitment and change what is expected of us, they could be significantly detrimental to Southwest lowa REC and other electric cooperatives that received disaster funds in good faith, while comply-

ing with all the FEMA regulations that were in place at the time the funding was provided. The price our member-owners pay for electricity could be directly impacted by this action.

Please get involved and demand that FEMA reconsider this dramatic change. Direct FEMA to have an open dialogue with rural electric cooperatives about how this issue can be resolved fairly.

Go to www.swiarec.coop for a link under “News and Events” to contact your federal legislators on this issue. Alternatively, contact us at (888) 591-1261 to give us authorization to make the contact on your behalf. Thank you.

Mesh for mushrooms Dear Heloise: My hint is for CLEANING MUSHROOMS. I’ve always found that they need a little washing, but too much can make them mushy. I put my mushrooms in reusable mesh produce bags, secure the ties, then use the bag itself to lightly scrub the mushrooms under running water. It cleans them efficiently without damaging them. — Audrey Mauro, via email You’re right, you don’t want to soak mushrooms in water, but you can clean them under a little running water and pat dry before cooking or adding to a salad. — Heloise MICROWAVE CLEANING Dear Heloise: I have a NEW above-the-counter microwave that I used for popcorn. I apparently left the popcorn bag in too long. The bag got smoky, caused the interior to be covered in a smoke film, and it smells on the interior.

I was able to get most of the smell out, but a “yellowing” color remains on the interior.

Any suggestions? Thank you.

— Rick Schweer, via email Rick, this happens a lot!

Heloise hint here: Don’t walk away from the microwave while cooking popcorn!

Sprinkle some baking soda on a wet, clean sponge or dishcloth, and wipe all the inside surfaces of the microwave,

Hints from Heloise especially where you notice the yellowing. You may need to do this a couple of times to completely remove the discoloring. Baking soda is such a good cleaner and deodorizer.

All you need to do to get my baking-soda pamphlet is send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Baking soda also can be used to clean the rubber gasket on your microwave as well as your refrigerator.

Make a paste of half water and half baking soda, and use a sponge to rub it around the gasket. Rinse well, using a damp microfiber cloth, and dry. — Heloise FLOWER FOLLOW-UP Dear Heloise: I read the article about the lady who buys flowers at the dollar store for the cemetery.

New coach brings single-wing to Clarinda Unconventional offense based on deception

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

National Digest

Investigation PHILADELPHIA — TMZ.com is reporting that former Iowa State basketball star and Philadelphia 76ers player Royce White is being investigated for an alleged domestic assault that took place in June.

White was drafted by the Houston Rockets in 2012 but did not play after clashing with the team over the best course of treatment for his anxiety disorder.

He played one season of college basketball at Iowa State.

TMZ reports that, according to Houston police, the incident is under investigation and no charges have been filed.

The alleged assault involved former girlfriend Tania Mehra, according to TMZ. TMZ reports: “According to law enforcement, records show someone called 911 on June 22, 2013 to report a laceration above Tania’s right eye. Tania claimed she suffered the injury from an ‘accidental fall.’“ But last week, according to the web site, Mehra filed an incident report with Houston police saying that she lied at the time to protect White’s career.

Smith starts NEW YORK — Rookie Geno Smith will be the New York Jets’ starting quarterback for Sunday’s opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Jets announced the decision Wednesday morning on their website in a story featuring quotes from coach Rex Ryan and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg praising Smith, the second-round pick from West Virginia.

Smith, 22, had been competing for the starting job with incumbent starter Mark Sanchez, who suffered a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter of a preseason game Aug. 24.

That all but sealed Smith’s hold on the job, at least to start the season. The Jets are carrying two other quarterbacks, Matt Simms and Brady Quinn, on the roster while Sanchez recovers.

Clarinda and Creston/OM are coming off vastly different opening-week experiences heading into their non-district encounter Friday night at Panther Field.

While the Panthers were rolling to a 50-20 victory at Chariton in a game featuring 10 touchdowns and 646 total offensive yards, Clarinda was fallling 7-3 at home to Atlantic.

The only touchdown of the game came midway through the third quarter, when Trojan quarterback Joe Walker connected with sophomore receiver Brendan Holmes on a quick 25yard strike.

Atlantic ran 64 offensive plays to Clarinda’s 43, killing six minutes off the clock down the stretch with a lengthy drive to seal the victory. Atlantic outgained the Cardinals in total yards, 238 to 155.

Clarinda, under new head coach Mark Schilb, didn’t attempt a pass until falling behind in the second half, and finished 0-for-2 through the air in the game.

Single-wing The Panther defense will

take a step back in time Friday, facing the singlewing offense installed by Schilb, a former Clarinda quarterback. It features a “spinner back” instead of a quarterback, and the center may snap it to either him or the running back, who stand together in shotgun formation.

Every play is designed to create misdirection and deception. The quick break of the huddle with moving parts can create confusion for the defense.

Schilb, a 1991 graduate of Clarinda High School, is trying to energize the program that is coming off a 1-8 season, including a

49-7 loss to Creston/O-M last season. Schilb most recently coached at Oskaloosa, with head coaching jobs at Sigourney and Perry before that.

“They have very big kids who can block and move,” said Atlantic coach Nick Ross. “Up front, they can present some very real challenges.”

Having watched video of the loss to Atlantic, Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison agrees. He said six turnovers trying to execute the new offense hampered the Cardinals, who were moving the ball against the Trojans.

“They put the ball on

Key district games on tap for area Eight-Man teams

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

With one district game already in the books for several area football teams, week two’s district matchups could go a long way in determining how the race for the four playoff positions in each district will take shape.

Murray, 1-1 for the season and 1-0 in Eight-Man District 6, hosts Ankeny Christian Academy at 7 p.m. Friday.

Ankeny Christian enters the contest with an 0-1 overall record, having lost 52-13 to Northeast Hamilton last week in a nondistrict game.

Much of the Eagles’ success in that game came through the air, as junior

quarterback Noah Szymanski finished 12-of-31 passing for 166 yards and one touchdown.

Northeast Hamilton shut down the Ankeny Christian rushing attack, holding the Eagles to just 67 rushing yards.

Szymanski’s favorite target in the opening week loss was junior Daniel Strong, who caught six passes for 120 yards and one touchdown.

Murray comes off a 6428 win over Mormon Trail on Friday.

So far this year, quarterback Matt Barnes is 6-of19 passing for 139 yards, while senior Andrew Rider has led the rushing attack with 309 yards on 33 carries.

Rider has been danger-

ous on defense, as well.

He has three interceptions and has returned two of them for touchdowns this year.

Murray won last year’s contest 90-12.

Southwest Valley The Timberwolves of Southwest Valley face a tough test Friday when they travel to defending district champion Sidney in a battle of teams that are 2-0 overall and 1-0 in Eight-Man District 8.

Lenox is also 2-0 and 1-0 in District 8.

Sidney has done much of its damage on the ground this season, rushing for 642

yards in its two games.

Senior Chris Osborne leads the way with 325 yards on 12 carries, including five touchdowns. Junior Erick Rodriguez has 137 yards and four touchdowns on eight carries.

Sidney has only thrown the ball 12 times in two games, but has been efficient on its six completions from quarterback Michael Coates, who has 168 yards and two touchdowns.

Southwest Valley has shown an ability to balance the pass and the run in its two games.

Jordan Stuart is 10-of-17 passing for 222 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions.

Zach Barton leads a four-headed rushing attack with 285 yards and six

touchdowns. Tyler Bissell, Gunner McCuen and Stuart all have over 150 rushing yards for the season, as well.

Defensively, Southwest Valley has held its first two opponents to just 28 and 12 points, respectively.

Lenox

The Lenox Tigers look to stay in a tie for first place in Eight-Man District 8 as they travel to Stanton, which is 1-1 overall and 0-1 in the district.

Stanton fell to Southwest Valley 60-12 last week.

Kyle Peterson is 8-of-23 passing for Stanton with 121 yards and two touchdowns to go with two interceptions.

Spartans overcome sluggish start

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

Bills starter BUFFALO, N.Y. — Coach Doug Marrone made the announcement at a team meeting early Wednesday morning that EJ Manuel will be the starting quarterback for the Bills when they take on the Patriots in the regular-season opener Sunday.

About a week ago, it appeared as though, because of Manuel’s minor knee surgery, undrafted free agent rookie Jeff Tuel would get the start in Manuel’s place.

Cards win CINCINNATI — Matt Adams’ second homer sent St. Louis to a 5-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in 16 innings on Wednesday night.

the ground and that hurt them,” Morrison said. “It’s not an easy offense to run, and they will get better with that. They are good up front.”

The Panthers’ defensive philosophy isn’t based on watching the ball in the backfield, Morrison said, so all of the spinning and deception behind the line of scrimmage shouldn’t adversely affect the team’s ability to contain the Cardinals.

“Our linebackers read guards and tackles and we don’t look in the backfield,” Morrison said. “At least, we’re not supposed to. Our defensive linemen

d o n ’ t s h o o t g a p s .

They react to t h e i r keys. So, that will help us a Morrison ton. It’s just a matter of adjusting to their unbalanced formation, which they are in probably 99 percent of the time.”

Dakota Woods was the senior playmaker at quarterback for Clarinda a year ago, but several running backs, wingbacks and receivers return this season.

Seniors Troy Aldrich, who played some quarterback a year ago, and Blake Luna are threats at wingback in the new offense.

Other returnees are Luke Strong and Nate Jones at running back and recevier Jett Kettwick, who had three kick return touchdowns a year ago as well as leading the team in tackles.

Junior Christian Lauritsen takes over the spinner back position, which starts most of the offensive plays.

Southwestern sophomore Mel Mangrum (8) records one of her three blocks while teammate Jenna Casey (15) helps her form a wall in front of NIACC’s Melissa Bisbee. The Spartans won Wednesday’s conference matchup 22-25, 25-16, 25-18, 25-5.

After dropping the first game of Wednesday’s ICCAC matchup against NIACC 25-22, the Southwestern Spartans came alive and defeated the Trojans 22-25, 25-16, 25-18, 25-5 in front of a glowing crowd on “Neon Night.”

“We had no enthusiasm to play the first game,” Spartan head coach Melissa Blessington said. “Literally, we came out the most flat we’ve ever come out the entire time I’ve coached these girls. I think they were just kind of like, ‘OK, we’re here to play.’ But they came back and did really, really well those next three games.”

Sophomore Ashley Strong of Vinton came up big in the service game once again for the Spartans, giving them the boost they needed in the second and third games.

Molly Schimp, the sophomore libero from Hampton, served the final five points of the second game to pull the Spartans even with the Trojans at one set apiece.

Later, in the fourth game,

Schimp served the final eight points of the match, including two aces during that service string.

“We keyed on one girl,” Blessington said. “Molly and Shelby (Sullivan) did a really good job of serving it at her, and so did Cassidy (Yong). Ashley Strong has been serving really well for us all year. In that second and third games, she’s the reason we were staying in those, because she had some really aggressive serving.”

As a team, the Spartans finished the night with 11 aces.

Meanwhile, setter Cassidy Yong did a good job of spreading the ball around to a host of capable hitters.

Yong, the nation’s leader in assists per game, finished the night with 38 assists.

“We started off nervous with our first game and playing a 5A school,” head coach Hannah West said.

“After the girls settled down, they became really scrappy and dug up everything hit to our side of the court.”

Megan McIntosh had a strong tournament for the Wolverines, finishing with nine kills and eight aces McIntosh on 19-of22 serving for the day.

Sidney Hohertz added nine kills for the tournament. Katy Erhsam led the team with 19 digs.

Winterset 3, Nodaway Valley 0 GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley’s first home match of the season ended in a 3-0 sweep at the hands of Winterset on Thursday.

“We had a lot of little errors that need to be corrected. Everything we did get over the net, Winterset was digging up. They were a scrappy team. Megan McIntosh was our leader and strongest hitter tonight.”

McIntosh recorded six kills and served 6-of-8 for the match. Emily Hunting-

Shields led the Raiderettes with five kills. Paige Daughton added two kills and also finished with five digs. She served 12-of-14 with three aces.

Fourth game Once the Spartans took a 2-1 lead in games, Blessington gave her team a task that would psychologically put the Trojans away.

Every point in the fourth game was met with a big celebration by the Spartans, sucking the last signs of life right out of NIACC. “I told them every single point in that fourth game you do well on, act like it’s the most exciting point of your life,” Blessington said.

“That’s what we did. We knew we were a better overall team, but if you don’t put the effort out, it doesn’t matter.”

Strong had a service string that lasted five points, ballooning a 5-2 Spartan lead into a 10-2 lead in the fourth game.

Sullivan also served for five straight points, including a pair of aces, to increase Southwestern’s lead to 16-4.

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

SPEED FREAKS

A couple of questions we just had to ask — ourselves

Daytona BeachNews-Journal/ JIM TILLER

This wasn’t one of Kyle Larson’s better headline grabbers.

Kyle Larson: Hit or miss for Chip Ganassi Racing?

GODSPEAK: Too young and too soon. Ganassi will lament his decision to release Juan Pablo Montoya. Larson may grow into the positon one day.

KEN’S CALL: Mark it down — he’s a future star.

Any chance Kurt Busch blends in well at Stewart-Haas?

GODSPEAK: Busch is a diamond-level Cup Series driver, but throw that diamond into a blender and something is gonna break.

KEN’S CALL: Sure, no problem. Forced marriages always work out, right?

HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ

The Haas hire Super Team or super stupid? That is the question.

Gene Haas, the founder of Stewart-Haas Racing, flexed his alpha-dog muscles last week and hired Kurt Busch to drive a fourth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car in 2014.

The team’s co-owner, Tony Stewart, who willed this team into a winner, was not told in advance of Haas’ hire and at first was angered by the unilateral move. Apparently, all is well after Haas explained himself to Stewart, who is sidelined from driving duty with a broken leg.

One gets the sense that Haas, who has poured millions of dollars into this operation, wanted to have his identity emerge from the team, where the perception is Stewart calls all the shots.

Hiring Busch sure feels like a not-so-fast-Tony moment in the Stewart-Haas timeline. But the questions remain about what this will do to the entire operation.

Stewart has everything neatly lined up for 2014. He cut Ryan Newman from next year’s roster to make way

for Kevin Harvick and the Budweiser sponsorship money.

Danica Patrick has GoDaddy onboard for several more seasons, and Stewart has a variety of cash backers for his No. 14 Chevy.

Now the team is scrambling to make room for Busch, which could have negative implications if not handled with kid gloves. Busch’s primary sponsor will be Haas Automation.

“It all happened pretty quick as everybody knows,” Patrick said.

Stewart, Harvick and Busch represent three ultra-uber racing personalities, and, if they don’t mix it could be problematic.

Racing isn’t just about a driver going fast. It’s about how people work together as a team; how driver, crew chief and owner communicate. It’s about team chemistry.

Will Busch be the spark for the Bunsen burner, or will this cause an explosion in the laboratory? Only time will tell.

KID GETS THE CALL Kyle Larson’s most famous racing moment was during the Daytona Nationwide Series race at Daytona in

ONLINE EXTRAS

AP/JOHN BAZEMORE

That daylight between Gordon and Edwards soon disappeared.

It really was labor, wasn’t it?

February when his stock car turned dart and went straight into a catch-fence crossover gate, injuring dozens of race fans. Fast-forward to last week and Larson, 21, was announced as the guy taking the wheel of the Cup Series No. 42 Earnhardt Ganassi Racing Chevy from Juan Pablo Montoya. “Kyle was our first choice,” car owner Chip Ganassi said. “We did not offer any deals to any other drivers.

We talked to other drivers.

We’re thrilled to have Kyle.

Nothing he has done makes us feel he cannot move to the Sprint Cup Series.”

Labor Day Weekend is meant to be a labor of love for one and all, but good grief … Jeff Gordon and Carl Edwards are mad at each other, Chase Elliott and Ty Dillon (and Richard Childress) were mad after the truck race, Brad Keselowski’s Cup defense is on life support, and Jimmie Johnson has slipped the rail.

Will things get better soon?

This week at Richmond is when dreams officially die. Entire campaigns (competitive and marketing) are blown out of the water when teams miss the Chase. So, you tell me how much fun it’ll be.

LAME DUCKS

Is Kyle Larson ready for the big jump?

There was a rumor floating around that ESPN and TNT were shopping their 2014 NASCAR television contracts to NBC and Fox. NBC and Fox will be NASCAR’s only broadcasters in 2015. ESPN has been through this painful, lame-duck experience before and it’s no fun for anyone — well, except NBC. NASCAR quickly shot the speculation down and said all 2014 contracts will remain in place.

There are those who like to sound wise and seasoned by suggesting Larson needs more time in the Nationwide Series before going full time in NASCAR’s biggest league. Larson may or may not hit the ground running next year, but if he doesn’t, it’s not because he needs another year in Triple-A ball. Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart are two guys who didn’t light it up in the old Busch Series, yet seemed to adjust pretty well, in case you didn’t notice.

BUSCH STEWART Kurt Busch vs. Tony Stewart: Busch was hired to drive for Stewart-Haas Racing without Stewart’s consent and the three-time NASCAR champion was not happy by the turn of events.

Godwin Kelly gives his take: “If this is not handled like a fragile egg shell, the Stewart-Haas shop will have that distinct omelet smell about it.”

Playing hurt is part of the game for drivers Three NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers were injured in the last few weeks. Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. suffered injuries to their right wrists after crashing at Bristol.

Bobby Labonte broke three ribs after a bicycle accident near his home. Playing hurt is part of the game in NASCAR. This is Hamlin’s second injury in 2013. He fractured his lower back in the spring and sat out four races during recovery.

Hamlin speaking to SiriusXM NASCAR Radio: “Oddly enough I have the same injury as Martin. I’ve got a splint on my right hand, right on my right thumb right there where he broke his bone.

Mine’s all black and blue. I guess we had the same thing happen. His was obviously worse. I couldn’t get my finger out of the wheel quick enough before it spun, and obviously kinda it took some ligaments with it. So I feel his pain, and it’s going to be tough. I tested on Monday and Tuesday at Chicago and I couldn’t

put my thumb on the wheel so that’s something that he’s gonna have to fight over these next six or seven weeks or so while it is healing. It gets better. It’ll get better. I’ve had this injury before. It’s not that big of a deal but it really can affect how you grip the steering wheel.”

a challenge but I think we’re up to it. I know I am.”

Team owner Tad Geschickter on Labonte: “Bobby is pretty banged up right now. So I guess as a football head coach says, ‘It may be a game-time decision.’

Bobby still has a burning passion to drive Truex in a press release: “It’s unforthe race car and see his contract through tunate that it happened at this point the end, but having said thatof we obviousWe have in stock supply in the season given our position in the a large don’t want to him to risk further standings.

The X mark on the map indicates where the current Creston walking/bike trail ends. The line around the east side of the lake is the proposed 3 1/2-mile trail. Workers will be clearing brush and mowing along the future trail location to prepare for construction.

where the road goes over to the park.”

Akes said the agreement would give the park the right to use the two sections of road as part of the bike trail.

Carr said trail users will not have to go onto Green Valley Road. The plan is to push up a berm so the trail can run parallel to the road.

“While they are working, it will be in our right-of-way, but when the trail is complete it will just run along the side separate of the road,” Akes said.

Part of the contract requires new road signs to warn motorists of the bicycle and foot traffic. Akes said there will be 12 new signs warning drivers from both directions.

Future plans Carr hopes the new addition to the trail builds support to continue extending the trail the entire circumference of the lake.

“We don’t have the next phase written in stone,” Carr

said. “It will be interesting to see down the road if there is support for it.”

If the trail surrounds the lake, Carr estimated cyclists, runners and walkers could get about 18 miles for their workout.

“By the time you ride from town, you can make a nice little ride out of it,” Carr said.

Other county news At Monday’s Union County Supervisor’s meeting, Akes scheduled a public hearing 10 a.m. Monday for more information about the new CAT motor grater.

The proposal to buy a new motor grater was one of six suggestions proposed

by Akes. Other options included rebuilding older machines or purchasing used equipment from another county.

Akes also reported the second county mowing is more than 75 percent complete. Mowers target main highways and problem areas for the third pass to help prevent snow drifts.

EACH MEMORIAL DAY, this Creston couple places a bouquet of red, white and blue flowers on the graves of veterans who don’t have any at all.

ohn and Lynne Schlaht of Creston stand sideby-side at Graceland Cemetery nearly one decade ago. It is morning. The grass below their feet is freshly cut, a little wet, and in the stillness of the cemetery the most recognizeable sounds are American flags flapping in the wind.

It’s Memorial Day. Like past years, the Schlahts are attending the Memorial Day program at Graceland Cemetery. A small group of people gather with them. The group says the Pledge of Allegiance together and listens to the keynote speaker.

“We’ve always gone out to the cemetery on Memorial Day,” Lynne said. “We’re both retired now, but I was a

librarian and John is a longtime social studies teacher in Creston, so we’re both fascinated with history — especially American history — and cemeteries have so many life stories.”

A trumpeter playing taps concluded the program at Graceland Cemetery. The group in attendance scattered in different directions to visit loved ones.

“After the program, we always wander around the cemetery,” John said. “We don’t have any family in Graceland Cemetery, but we do have friends. As we wandered around, that particular year we began noticing many veterans didn’t have flowers on their graves.”

Lynne recalls the feeling that gave them both.

“It was really sad to see nothing on their graves,” she

said. “They probably don’t have any family that live in the Creston area anymore.”

So, from that day forward, the Schlahts decided to honor at least some of those veterans each year by placing flowers next to their grave.

“We just thought it would be a nice gesture to honor and thank them on Memorial Day,” John said. “All of them sacrificed something for this country. ... After we placed flowers the first year, we wanted and felt like we needed to do it again the next year.”

So, that’s what they’ve done.

Each year Lynne finds enough red, white and blue artificial flowers to make 35 to 40 bouquets. She finds the Please see SCHLAHTS, Page 2

DAYTON (MCT) — Investigators believe they found the blood of a missing teenager on the body of her kidnapper, on his truck and at a northern Iowa hog confinement facility where he took two girls Monday afternoon, officials said Thursday.

Kathlynn Shepard, 15, of Dayton, was still missing Thursday evening after she and a friend were abducted Monday by Michael J. Klunder, a registered sex offender described by a retired police chief as a “pure sociopath.”

Officials confirmed Thursday that Klunder, who was found dead around 8 p.m.

Monday, had hanged himself.

Blood was found on Klunder’s body, on the tailgate of his Toyota Tundra pickup and on two buildings at a hog confinement facility where Klunder worked, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent Bill Kietzman said at a news conference Thursday afternoon.

The blood had not yet been tested to determine if it is Kathlynn’s, he said.

“We’re going to make a logical assumption that it is her blood,” Kietzman said. “There’s no reason to think it’s anyone else’s.”

The search for Kathlynn will continue Friday, but each day that passes leaves less

MAGAZINES Ag Mag & Creston Living 00

Learning center proposed for southwest Iowa Creston area leaders in the areas of education and economic development met Tuesday to discuss the viability for establishing a learning center in Southwest Iowa.

The learning center would provide diagnostic and tutoring services to students with learning differences and disabilities and offer resources to families impacted by learning disabilities such as dyslexia, discalculia, dysgraphia, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and related issues.

The purpose of the proposed learning center, which would work in partnership with local school districts, is to ease the logistical and financial burden of accessing necessary resources to improve the learning experience for students with learning differences.

The proposed site has yet to be determined, but it would most likely be established in Creston.

The proposed learning center will be based on the success of other similar nonprofit learning centers.

Suzanne Johnston, who is an employee of Iowa State University and been involved with the planning from the start, said she has spent “hours and hours learning” about working memory issues, auditory delays and learning disabilities in an effort to help her own daughter.

Johnston said, after families pay for gas, $250 in diagnostic fees and $50 per session,
