Approval of new Veterans Affairs director delayed By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA associate [email protected]

The vote for a new veter-ans affairs director was ta-bled to Sept. 8 after Union County Board of Supervi-sors decided to review their involvement in the appoint-ment process.

The commissioners of the veterans affairs office — Gary O’Daniels, Rob-ert Jungst, Sharon Moffitt, J o h n P a r k i n s and Paul Miller — selected A r m y v e t e r a n T o m Hawks to r e p l a c e B l a i z e Reha as the VA director.

Reha stepped down as director after a knee injury that would require surgery and intensive rehab.

“We had 10 applications,” Gary O’Daniels said. “We interviewed four people and

he (Hawks) was the person selected by the commission members that would do the best job for us.”

Supervisors have the final say on the appointment, but they were not involved in the application process.

Supervisor Lois Monday asked to see the list of ap-plicants for the position, but the board w a n t e d to check in with U n i o n C o u n t y Attorney Tim Ke-nyon and their hu-man re-sources representative Paul Greufe before proceding with the request.

“I always trust the board (commissioners of the vet-erans affairs office), but whenever you are signing off on something, you al-ways want to read the fine print,” Supervisor Ron Ri-ley said at Wednesday’s meeting.

The vote was rescheduled for the Sept. 8 meeting.

Pumpkin Days — family-friendly event in Orient this weekend By SARAH BROWNCNA staff [email protected]

ORIENT — The town of Ori-ent will be booming with family-friendly activities this weekend as they celebrate Pumpkin Days.

This annual event, which start-ed in the 1920s as a community celebration held in October, has seen many changes, most notably growth.

Pumpkin Days organizer Ryan Frederick of Orient, who is one of seven members of the Pumpkin Days committee, said the 5K run and walk has helped bring more people to the community and has

become a staple of the event.“The 5K has really turned into

something,” Frederick said. “It started as a dozen people that went for a walk and now its a huge deal.”

The proceeds of the Pumpkin Days 5K run/walk go toward the purchase of new holiday decor for the city. Frederick said the

current decor is more than 40 years old and falling apart.

The greatest benefit of all is this event benefits local organiza-tions.

“It’s just one civic organiza-tion after another that’s getting

‘One story out of so many’

By BAILEY POOLMANCNA staff [email protected]

When people imagine things related to dementia or Al-zheimer’s disease, most will think of the elderly population. Some, on the other hand, think of the younger generation.

Kelsey Hollen is one of the younger generation.

Hollen, 25, has familial ties to dementia, and has made it a mission of hers to speak out.

DiscoveryHollen, a resident of Cres-

ton, attended University of Northern Iowa to earn a degree in gerontology, the study of ag-ing. As a sophomore in 2009-10, Hollen declared the major, and soon after discovered her maternal grandfather Gordon Perkins of Red Oak had health and behavioral changes.

“He started having some health concerns, and behavior changes, so we were concerned about him,” Hollen said. “As we were learning about some of these things in class (at UNI), I was able to relay that information back to my family, and it was practical.”

That same month, Perkins had a stroke that affected his memory. Hollen’s grandmoth-er cared for her grandfather in their home. He developed dia-betes, and in December 2010 he had another stroke.

In June 2011, Perkins had a bowel obstruction.

“It’s actually really, re-ally painful, but he barely de-scribed pain, and that’s some-times a symptom of dementia, your ability to feel pain is af-fected,” Hollen said. “So, we

Mosquito-borne virus confirmed in Iowa

DES MOINES (AP) — Health officials have confirmed the first human case of the chikungunya (chicken-GUN’-yuh) virus in Iowa.

The state Department of Public Health said in a news release Wednesday that a man from central Iowa is recovering from the mosquito-borne virus.

He recently returned from a trip to the Carib-bean.

The virus can cause fever

and joint pain, among oth-er symptoms. It is typically not fatal.

Officials say it’s common for an individual to be bit-ten by an infected mosqui-to while traveling outside of the state.

Up until now, Iowa was one of only six states that had not reported such a case.

The man has not been hospitalized, and addition-al information about his case has not been released.

something out of this deal,” Frederick said.

Frederick said, every club and organization, such as churches, volunteer fire department, womens and mens clubs, FFA, Lions Club and school, raise a lit-tle bit of funds toward their mission or through activi-ties held on Pumpkin Days.

“That’s the idea,” Fred-erick said. “That everyone gets a piece of the pie.”Schedule

Pumpkin Days will kick off 6:30 p.m. Friday with the Pumpkin Days 5K run/walk. After participants work their way through the course, participants and spectators can attend a concert 7 p.m. Friday with vocalist Linday Baessler and guitarist Chase Nevins. The evening will be closed out with music from coun-try rock musician Brad Morgan starting at 8 p.m.

Orient Volunteer Fire Department is hosting a community breakfast of

pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage 7 to 10 a.m. Sat-urday. Immediately af-ter breakfast at 10 a.m., the firefighters will host “Battle of the Barrels” — Pumpkin Days’ newest event.

Frederick described the battle as an oil drum suspended from a cable, which, opposing teams at-tempt to push it to the oth-ers side using the water from a hose.

Other Saturday activities at Pumpkin Days include a sand volley ball tourna-ment, bake sale, children’s activities, vendor show, chicken noodle dinner, pumpkin contest, youth and adult pedal pulls, all-school reunion, Bank of Memories museum tour, parade, cow pie bingo, beer garden, Creston Peppers dance performance, barbe-cue dinner, adult bags tour-nament and street dance.

PUMPKIN DAYS:

Blue Bunny ice cream production shifts to Iowa

LE MARS (AP) — The maker of Blue Bunny ice cream says it will close a plant in Utah and shift pro-duction to northwest Iowa.

Le Mars, Iowa-based Wells Enterprises, Inc., an-nounced Tuesday it would close its ice cream plant in St. George, Utah, and move production to its Le Mars facility.

Company spokeswoman

Liz Croston says produc-tion and storage will move to Le Mars over several months, with the Utah plant closing by the end of 2014.

The Le Mars Daily Sen-tinel reports the St. George plant employed about 90 people. The plant was built in 2003.

Wells marked its 100th anniversary last year.

For those who don’t know yet, I recently got a cat. He’s a black and white thing, about a year and a-half old, and is named Pawter (since I’m a big Harry Potter nerd and love puns).

He’s definitely good to have around the house, now that I live in the country, because he was a farm cat before he became mine and likes chasing mice. But, like I said in my previous column, he’s definitely a responsibility.

Pawter, like all cats, is automati-cally a responsibility because he needs fed and watered, and his lit-ter changed often. Also, like other

cats his age, he’s still young and re-quires so much exercise.

During my week-long vacation in August, I took him with me to visit my parents in Centerville. Somehow I had managed to talk my mom Karen into letting the cat sleep inside, even though she only ever allowed our dog inside dur-

ing the winter months. Pawter had a blast, spending the day with my mom and exploring the two-story house complete with nooks and crannies for him to get lost in. Even though she will probably deny it, I think my mother grew attached to the little guy, and even calls him her grandson.

Most nights, he decides to play with his catnip birds, running up and down the hallway and jumping on and off the bed every minute or so. Then, most mornings, he wakes me up well before my alarm buzzes by nipping at my toes and climb-ing all over my face. It’s wonder-

ful, since I don’t need lots of sleep anyway.

Pawter also likes chasing bugs. At night, moths find some crack in my windowsill and flutter around the lights. The cat will stare at the ceiling, watching the bugs bump against it, and then jump up at them or climb on the dresser to get closer to them. I suppose for him, the dresser is like the stairway to a heaven filled with things to play with.

I’ve also recently discovered Pawter likes watching TV. The other night I turned on the movie Finding Nemo to fall asleep to, and

woke up after an hour or so to Paw-ter laying on my feet staring at the vibrant colors flitting across the TV screen. I think he may want me to get a real fish one of these days.

Even though I grew up in the country with pets, none of our ani-mals were strictly indoor pets. I’ve realized it’s different when you keep your pet inside: making sure he can’t get into anything danger-ous to cats, keeping him clean and healthy and protecting things you don’t want him destroying.

Despite all the responsibilities though, I’d never want to give Paw-ter up.


Girl on fireBailey Poolmanstaff writer

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 37th annual Hot Air Balloon Days Weekend to be held Sept. 19–21.

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 20th and Sunday the 21st. Depending on the wind direc-tion, many of you can step outside your door and enjoy the spectacu-lar 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, 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 20th by 10 a.m. to be included in

the parade.On Sept. 20, 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.

The Creston Uptown is the site of various activities for spectators of all ages on Saturday, as well. The flea market on Maple Street and the craft fair in the west De-pot parking lot will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition, local merchants will be open for your shopping pleasure during the day and the Creston:Arts Gallery will be open.

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. Night-Glow, 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 the activities are available at the chamber of-fice or by visiting the chamber web page at www.crestoniowachamber.com.

The Balloon Committee and CHS junior class are selling the an-nual balloon T-shirts, sweatshirts and pins. This is an excellent op-portunity for you to show your sup-port for the event, as well as mar-ket Creston all year long. You can stop by the chamber office located at 208 W. Taylor to make your pur-chase before the event or buy mer-chandise during the event.

Make your plans now to attend the 37th annual Creston/Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days and see for yourself what southwest Iowa has to offer.

Cats are big, but fun, responsibilities

Letters to the editor

Treat them as equals From Dawn DrakeCreston

This is something that I can’t figure out about this town and this school system. The sixth grade and ninth grade are supposed to be part of their prospective schools. However, they get no recognition. For example, the sixth grade isn’t allowed to play in any sports with the middle they are a part of, and the freshman get to play but are separate. The freshman are part of the high school and should be in-

cluded as such, but yet they have their pictures taken separately from the fall sports guide.

Why do these two grades need to be separate or excluded from their prospective school activities if they are supposed to be part of the school?

It really makes no sense, and therefore, I don’t understand why we as a community still allow it to happen. They still work just as hard as everyone else and deserve the same attention that the others get.

We have a personal stake From Karon FinnCreston

Quote from Sherrie Taha, Dem-ocratic candidate for Secretary of Agriculture: “If you eat...If you drink water...If you breathe air in Iowa...Then...You have a personal stake in how the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Steward-ship works.”

We also have a personal stake in who the governor is. Who the sec-retary of agriculture is. Who our state representative is. Who the state senator is. Who the United States senator is. Who the United States representative is.

In May 2014 approximately 500,000 central Iowa custom-ers received a letter in theirwater bill from the Des Moines Water Works stating:

“Recent spring melting caused significant water quality concerns for Des Moines Water Works. In particular, high ammonia levels

have been present in our rivers from livestock runoff and other upstream land uses. Many custom-ers may have noticed chlorine taste and smell in their drinking water during the early spring months. Weeks of disinfection treatment was necessary to reduce runoff im-pacts, however, disinfection has its own risks.”

From Shel Silverstein’s book, “Where the Sidewalk Ends” and his poem “Lazy Jane” with a few changes by me:

“Clueless, clueless, clueless, clueless, clueless, clueless Average Joe and Jane, they want a drink of water so they wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait for it to rain.”

The water alert from Des Moines Water Works should be a wake up call to all lowans and a call to action to advocate for clean-er source waters and to question whether voluntary water protec-tion measures work.

The Branstad administration has been very obstructive when it comes to protecting our water-ways. The administration has also refused to grant local control to our elected county officials. The Adair County Supervisors three times turned down the building and expansion of hog confine-ments in Adair County. Now, the Branstad Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has overturned that local county decision and the only recourse left to the neighbors around the confinements is to go to the Environmental Protection Commission (EPC) which is a nine member board stacked with five members appointed by Gov. Ter-ry Branstad. Those five members have a financial interest in owning or building confinements in the state of Iowa.

How unfair is the Brans-tad administration? Is this how lowans should treat fellowlowans?

Here’s a couple of ideas From Jim StalkerCreston

Here’s a couple of ideas that might be worth pursuing. Regard-ing the slab of concrete that used to be the AEA building but now be-longs to the Creston Schools; this would make a wonderful location for an ice skating rink during the cold winter months, and it could be accomplished for minimal funding.

Pour a border of concrete around the perimeter, about six inches tall by four inches wide. Line it with plastic. Add water! Simple as that!

For added dressing, add a fence around the outside, a few benches for resting and after seeing how it goes, someone might want to bring a concession stand in for hot drinks, add a couple of Kybos, for convenience. There is already am-

ple parking marked off around the perimeter of the slab.

This would be a perfect project for the FFA or some other student group at the high school. Volun-teerism plays a big role in Creston. First step? Introduce your project to the school board, and, as the library people found out, it might not hurt to get something written down.

We like to hear from you!

Dear Heloise: Just a com-ment on your recent praise of the Habitat for Humanity ReStore: It is a great organi-zation to support, but I’d like to emphasize how important it is to support it by VOLUN-TEERING. There usually is a core of dedicated, consis-tent volunteers who hold the store together. The volume of donations can be overwhelm-ing without all the volunteers who receive the materials and get them out to the floor as quickly as possible. I have enjoyed maintaining “my” department, as well as the friendships among the other regulars. Short or long term, volunteers are the lifeblood of Habitat for Humanity Re-Stores. — Nancy M. in Colo-rado

Nancy, thank you for re-minding all of us how impor-tant volunteering is. If all of our volunteers “stood down” for just one day, I think it would be a shock to realize how much they do! So please say thanks when you get a chance. — Heloise

VANILLA EXTRACTDear Heloise: I was excited

to try your recipe for vanilla extract. I have a question, though: Do you leave the va-nilla beans intact, or split or

crush them? — Joyce M. in Delaware

You will split the vanilla beans lengthwise, exposing the seeds.

For other readers, here’s how to make the extract. Gather a 1-liter bottle of ei-ther vodka or white rum and two vanilla beans. Split the beans lengthwise and place them in the vodka/rum. Close the bottle and let sit for at least 30 days. Taste it to see if there is enough flavor, and if not, let it sit for another few days. Check and taste the ex-tract regularly until you are happy with the flavor. Many cakes use vanilla extract as an ingredient, and my Helo-ise’s Cake Recipes pamphlet is a great resource to have in your home. To order one, please send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Cakes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. You can replace the liquid in the homemade extract as you use it. Just add more vodka/

rum. — HeloiseRECONNECT AGAINDear Heloise: If you have

lost contact with a friend, relative or even an acquain-tance, here is an easy, funny way to get that relationship back on track: Get a card — any kind will do — and write your telephone number on it. That’s all. See if the person calls! — Pearl W. in Califor-nia

FROZEN EYELINERDear Readers: Attempt-

ing to sharpen your eyeliner pencil, but it sticks to the sharpener? To stop the goopy mess, place the liner in the freezer for a half-hour or so to freeze the soft liner. Works on eye shadow that is like a big, fat crayon.

Easy to sharpen, and no mess. — Heloise

DRAINAGE HOLESDear Heloise: Here is a

hint when transferring house-plants into new containers: Before adding the soil to the new container, cover the drainage hole with a piece of newspaper. This allows the water to drain but keeps the soil from coming out, and it will dissolve over time. — Sara J. in Illinois

NEW YORK — Quickly turning things around after dropping the first three games, Serena Williams stretched her Flushing Meadows win-ning streak to 19 matches by eventually overpow-ering 11th-seeded Flavia Pennetta of Italy 6-3, 6-2 on Wednesday night at the U.S. Open.

“Against her, you can’t wait, you can’t give her time, you can’t fail to push her to her limits - because if you do, she’s a runaway train,” Pennetta said.

Williams is bidding to become the first woman with three consecutive U.S. Open titles since Chris Evert won four in a row from 1975-78. The 32-year-old American also is trying to pull even with Evert and Martina Navratilova at 18 Grand Slam singles trophies.U.S. rolls

Panthers face unique Cardinal ground attackBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

The Creston/O-M Pan-thers will step back in time Friday, taking on the once-popular single-wing of-fense employed by second-year Clarinda coach Mark Schilb.

Last year the Panthers had success stopping the ground-oriented, decep-tive offense by the Cardi-nals in a 42-10 victory at Panther Field.

But, a senior-dominated Cardinal team seems to be clicking this season. Throwing only two passes — one intercepted — the Cardinals raced past At-lantic in the 2014 opener, 60-14.

This is a team that made the playoffs a year ago, and is considered a top contender this year in Class 2A District 8.

In Friday’s game at Clar-inda, Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison says a challenge awaits, particu-larly in the trenches. The offensive line is largely intact from a year ago, led by No. 72, senior tackle Brook Stephens, formerly of Creston.

“They are good up front and we knew that,” Mor-rison said. “ T h e y have a good of-f e n s i v e line with a t h l e t i c , p h y s i c a l r u n n e r s . The big-

gest thing is, we have to control the line of scrim-mage. We can’t look at the backfield. They key is to tackle everybody. Every-body has an assignment.”

Last week, five Cardi-nal ball-carriers averaged more than 20 yards per car-ry. Wingback Kyle Holmes rushed for 124 yards and three touchdowns on only four carries. Running back Jett Kettwick finished with 107 yards on five at-tempts. Blocking back Austin Smith rushed for two touchdowns on five carries.

Senior Trey Stickler, the team’s top tackler with

17 stops against the Tro-jans, had a 51-yard run and “spinner back” Luke Strong ran seven times for 58 yards. Jake Rid-nour ran twice for 42 yards and junior Jacob DeGase amassed 68 yards on only three touches.

Strong usually takes the shotgun snap and turns his back to the defense, with crossing motion on nearly every play before a hand-off or pitchout to create deception. However, any one of three backs could take the direct snap.

“(Last week) They ran sweep, power and wing-back counter,” Morrison

said. “That’s all they ran. They probably have a to-tal of six running plays. They’ll throw the ball two or three times. They try to get it to second and short, or third and short, then their offense rolls. First down is critical for our de-fense.”

Last year the Cardinals were 2-of-4 passing for 28 yards and two intercep-tions by Panthers Jesse Rathe and Alex Nielsen.Fast start

Clarinda got off to a fly-ing start last week with an interception for a touch-down on the first play by Jacob Carlson. They kept

the momentum going with three more first-quarter scores. Kettwick raced 44 yards for a Cardinal TD and Smith punched in back-to-back scores to push the lead to 28-0 be-fore the quarter break.

“That did not look like Atlantic,” Morrison said, “but that’s what Clarinda tries to do. They want to get ahead in the first quar-ter and then grind it out.”

It’s an offense that could easily eat up the clock with a lead, if it can sustain drives with first downs.

Atlantic had a better second quarter, however, as Clarinda suffered three turnovers on a muffed punt, interception and fumble. Atlantic quarter-back Joey Walker scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak.

But, Holmes took the ball on a reverse and re-claimed the momentum for the Cardinals with a 17-yard touchdown for a 34-6 halftime lead.

Lightning forced a delay of nearly 90 minutes, but that failed to slow down the Cardinals. They tacked on four more scores on runs of 15 yards by Holmes, 51 by DeGase, another by Holmes for 68 yards and a 4-yarder by Zachary Carl-son, all during a running clock. Walker added his second touchdown on a short run for the Trojans before time ran out.

The Clarinda ground at-tack totaled 494 yards in

Spartans place four in the top 10By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA associate editor • [email protected]

PALATINE, Ill. — The Spartan men came home with four individual awards and a second place team fin-ish Saturday morning at the inaugural Hawks/Chiefs In-vitational hosted by Harper Community College.

Sophomore Ben Fried-erichs was the top finisher for Southwestern, covering the 6K course in 21:01 and placing seventh. He led the pack attack that included Ovan Garcia, Aaron Ward and Philip Sciranko who placed eighth, ninth and 10th respectively.

“Our front pack just had a solid day and really fed

off of each other during the race,” Southwestern head coach Bill Huntington said. “The top four only had a 34 second spread.”

Harper — who has won the National Junior College Athletic Association Divi-sion III men’s title the past three seasons — won its home meet with 21 points. The Spartan men scored 44.

Cassidy Warson was the final scorer for the Spartans, crossing the line in 22:26 for 21st place.

“We have had some really good practices and have 10 guys that are right in the mix of being in our top seven,” Huntington said. “We still have a lot of work to do, but

Tigers look for moreconsistency in week 2By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

After his team jumped out to a 36-14 halftime lead at East Union last week and then saw the Eagles cut that lead to 36-32, Lenox head coach Allen Dukes knows his team needs to show more consistency this week against a Mormon Trail team that defeated Murray 34-0 on Friday.

The Tigers host Mormon Trail on Friday, with kick-off scheduled for 7 p.m.

“As far as Friday night’s game, we have to be more consistent than what we were last F r i d a y n i g h t , ” he said. “ Y o u c a n ’ t jump out on some-body and think the game is over and let them back in it.”

Dukes said his team has spent more time this week practicing pass coverage, an area where the Tigers were burned last week.

East Union completed just three passes in the game, but those three com-pletions went for a total of 166 yards and two touch-downs. Tackling has been another area of emphasis this week.

“I didn’t feel like we tackled very well Friday night, especially when they got bottled up and bounced it outside,” Dukes said.

The Tigers will be aided this week by the return of Frank Hoffman, who was unable to play last week because he did not have the required amount of

practices in after returning from National Guard boot camp.

“He’s going to be able to help us on both sides of the ball,” Dukes said. “Looks like he will be our starting fullback and will be playing a linebacker for us.”

Hoffman’s return will e n a b l e Dukes to shift Jar-ed Hens-ley to c o r n e r -back on F r i d a y a g a i n s t t h e Saints.

“He’s (Hoffman) going to bring more size in than what we had at the fullback and linebacker positions,” Dukes said. “Last week we had Josh Mitchell and Jared Hensley in there. That’s going to give us a lit-tle more of a punch at full-back, as well as taking on the guards a little bit better with him at linebacker.”

One of the keys for Lenox this week will be slowing down Mormon Trail quarterback Jakob Horton.

Horton ran for 159 yards and three touchdowns on 29 carries last week against Murray. He completed just 1-of-5 passes for 29 yards.

“They set him up in a shotgun formation, backs on both sides of him or split one out into the slot,” Dukes said. “They will run him a lot. He runs the ball hard, inside-out. They have big linemen. On film, I was pretty impressed with them. I thought they played extremely well. We have to make sure everybody on our team does their job and does it to the best of their ability and see what hap-

pens.”Non-district matchups

Southwest Valley, a 40-0 winner over Clarinda Academy in the opening week, travels to Bedford on Friday for a 7 p.m. game.

Bedford sits at 1-0 after a 36-14 win over Griswold.

Junior Justin Folkerts scored two touchdowns for the Bulldogs, rushing for a team-high 100 yards on 14 carries. Senior Ben Hill added 90 yards and one touchdown for the Bull-dogs in the win.

Quarterback Hunter Russel completed seven passes for 89 yards, three of which went to Isaac Weed for 60 yards and a touch-down.

In Class A action, Mount Ayr hits the road to take on another Class 2A op-ponent, this time playing at Shenandoah at 7 p.m.

The Mustangs opened the season with a 28-7 win over Riverside.

The Mount Ayr defen-sive front will be tested again this week, as Shenan-doah attempted just three passes last week.

Andrew Gray rushed 26 times for 137 yards and two touchdowns, while quarter-back Jake Johnson carried 12 times for 43 yards and two scores. Jordan Miller ran for 51 yards and Lo-gan Roberts rushed for 49 yards.

The Raiders will have to slow down the Mustang rushing attack without linebacker Riley Weehler, who suffered a knee injury in Mount Ayr’s loss to Al-bia last week. Weehler re-corded six solo tackles and

Nodaway Valley 3, MSM 2

GREENFIELD — Nod-away Valley picked up a big five-game victory over defending Pride of Iowa Conference champion Martensdale-St. Marys here on Tuesday.

The Blue Devils have been considered by many to be one of the top teams in the conference this year, as well.

But even after the Wol-verines fell behind 2-0 in games on Tuesday, they didn’t give up.

Nodaway Valley lost the first two games by a to-tal of four points at 26-24 and 25-23. The Wolverines kept themselves alive with a 25-17 win in game three and then won an important 25-23 game in the fourth

game, setting up a 15-9 win in game five.

Junior Emily Schildberg had a big night at the net, l e a d -ing the team with 10 kills, while also r e c o r d -ing 10 block as-sists and two solo b l o c k s . In addition, Schildberg served three aces, which also led the team.

Senior Josie Carter also served three aces on 18-of-22 serving, while setting a team-high 14 assists. Cor-rine Jones set 13 assists and served 9-10. Katy Eh-rsam recorded a team-high 17 digs and served 10-13 with one ace.

Sophomore Paige McElfish recorded nine kills to go with nine digs and four total blocks, while serving 12-13. Mackenzie Meisenheimer finished with six kills and 10 total b l o c k s — five block as-sists and five solo b l o c k s . K e n n a L u n d y recorded three kills and six block assists. Jessica Nel-son finished with four kills.

The Wolverines return to action on Tuesday on the road against one of the other Pride of Iowa Con-ference contenders in Bed-ford.

12 assisted tackles last week before suffering the injury.

Nodaway Valley, mean-while travels to West Cen-tral Valley, which was a 24-6 victim of Des Moines Chris-tian in the opening week.

The Wildcats had more success through the air than on the ground in the loss, as Bryce Kearns threw for 155 yards in the loss, spreading the ball to six different re-

ceivers. Alex Coover led the team with 68 rushing yards and 59 receiving yards.

In Eight-Man, East Union travels to Essex on Friday, which lost to Lamoni 52-22 in the opening game of the season.

Despite the week one loss to Lenox, the Eagles are car-rying some momentum after shutting the Tigers out in the second half.

Murray, meanwhile, faces

a tough task as the Mustangs travel to Wayne to take on the team that knocked Mur-ray out of playoffs in a first-round upset last year.

Murray, which lost to Mormon Trail 34-0 last week, will have to slow down Wayne senior running back Clayton Kiefer, who carried 18 times for 150 yards and three touchdowns last week in a 50-13 win over Ankeny Christian Academy.

I am really excited about this group.”

East Union graduate Sean Schmitz finished 27th for the Spartans. Mount Ayr graduate Dawson Knapp was 43rd.Women

With the addition of Gabby DuBois, the Spar-tan women were eligible for team scoring and capitalized with a third place finish at the Hawks/Chiefs Invita-tional.

Brooke Lindgren set the

pace for the Spartan wom-en, placing 19th on the 4K course in 18:21. Teammate Charlie Buddenhagen fin-ished 22nd.

“The ladies came out real-ly excited about the 4K dis-tance and performed well,” Huntington said. “They are working so hard in practice and it is showing on the course.”

Kylie Bidrowski, DuBois and Rachael Flickenger fin-ished 29th, 31st and 36th re-spectively.

“The finish was a loop around an open field then a sharp, hairpin turn to the

finishing chute,” Huntington said. “The ladies owned that part of the course and really showed some guts coming off of that final turn.”

Southwestern is gearing up for its Friday night meet at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Mo. The men and women will be bumping up their race dis-tances to the 8K and 6K.

“This will be a test for our men and women,” Hunting-ton said. “It will be solid competition and a chance to grow as runners as they learn to race at the 8K and 6K distance.”

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDECompelling questions ...

and maybe a few actual answers

AP/DAVID TULIS

Does Mild Matt look worried about being winless? Actually, he’s deep into his points-gathering zone.

Who will be next to get your reverse jinx?

Yeah, yeah, all it took was a lot of “Poor ol’ Kasey Kahne” talk in this corner last week, and wouldn’t you know it, he goes out and steals a win at Atlanta. Don’t forget, though, in the midst of last week’s chatter, it was mentioned that his whole season could turn around in a fl ash. And it did, thanks to that Hendrick horse-power on the fi nal overtime restart.

Do we now recalibrate our odds board for the Chase?

Let’s wait until after this weekend. If Kahne makes it two straight by win-ning Richmond — certainly a possibil-ity — in a two-weekend span he goes from major disappointment to one of everybody’s three or four favorites to run wild in the fi nal 10 weeks. But right now, you have to put the best odds on the two Penske drivers (Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski) and at least two of the other Hendrick guys (defi nitely Jimmie Johnson, of course, and either Junior or Jeff).

Leaving out your dream champ?

Kinda. Yes, I’m still rooting — in a slightly evil way — for Matt Kenseth to go winless yet win the champi-onship. Don’t forget, with all this emphasis put on winning this year, you can still win the Cup without winning a trophy. Weird, huh?

With laggard Kasey Kahne securing a position in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Sunday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Hendrick Motorsports’ stock cars now make up 25 percent of the playoff fi eld.

It’s no won-der team owner Rick Hendrick had a big smile as he watched the No. 5 Chev-rolet fl ash across the fi nish line. He now joins Roger Penske (two cars) and Joe Gibbs (three cars) as the only teams with all entries earning postseason berths.

“Just glad to see these guys have some good luck,” Hendrick said after Kahne’s victory. “They have had a tough year.”

The win was so special that Kahne’s driver team-mates — Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson — gathered in Victory Lane to welcome the driver to the Chase party. It looked more like a Hendrick Motorsports company picnic than a Victory Lane celebration.

“I think that shows the kind of chemistry we have with our driv-ers, and they know they got to race each other, and they want to beat each other, but they were pulling for Kasey to get in,” Hendrick said.

After the Cup Series pushes through Richmond, the four Hendrick drivers will go back to battling each other for position, points and wins, but the boss likes his chances in this Chase.

“I think when we’re tied with three cars for the most wins (three) and the momentum with the No. 5 car going in, I think that we have a really good shot,” Hendrick said. “I think that it’s the best balance that we have ever had with all the cars going into the Chase.”

GORDON UP TO 750Jeff Gordon continues to

amaze as he begins the transi-tion into the twilight of his ca-reer, which will continue at least three more seasons at Hendrick Motorsports. Sunday night the 43-year-old made his 750th con-secutive Cup Series start, dating back to his debut in the last race of the 1992 season, held at Atlanta that year. “That is a big number,” Gordon said. “I hadn’t thought about it a whole lot until I saw a decal with it. I thought, ‘Man that is a lot of races, es-pecially in a row.’ It seems like it was yesterday that it started right here over 20 years ago.”

PEACE, BROTHERRemember that blowup

between Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick at Bristol a week ago? Harvick wrecked Hamlin and Hamlin tossed his HANS device in anger at Harvick’s car. Harvick wasted no time apologizing to Hamlin immediately after the race. “I think it was like eight minutes after the checkered fl ag he reached out to me,” Hamlin told Fox Sports 1. “He just made a little mistake. We all do it at one point or another.”

Case closed.

After 24 weeks of acting happy for teammates, Kasey Kahne fi nally gets to smile for good reason.

Wasn’t Kyle Larson supposed to have a win by now?

Has Kasey Kahne gone from disap-pointment to Chase threat?GODSPEAK: If he builds momentum, he may look like Laird Hamilton atop a monster wave in the Chase.KEN’S CALL: It’s all about momentum sometimes, so yes. Don’t be surprised if he wins again this week.

If there’s a 14th dif-ferent 2014 winner this week, who’s your pick?GODSPEAK: Kyle Lar-son would be my fi rst pick with Clint Bowyer a close second.KEN’S CALL: Since we all assumed Kyle Larson would win somewhere this year, I’ll take him.

Kasey Kahne’s season could’ve been la-beled a disappointment, considering he was among the championship favorites entering 2014. All that disappointment went away with a Sunday night win at Atlanta. Here’s part of the post-victory press conference:

Kasey, you’re in The Chase. Tell us about your evening.

“Yeah, it was just an unbelievable way to make The Chase. And to win at Atlanta — it’s a tough track, a track that I love coming to. And so, it feels really good to get a victory .

“We had an up-and-down night. We started … I could barely get through the corner; I was loose. I fell back to about 22nd, I think. Then made some adjustments and got roll-ing. We got up to about fi fth . And then, we kind of dialed ourselves out again. Fell back. Went a lap down. Then came back again at the end. The last 60 laps, I felt really good.”

On that last restart, mentally, it seemed you were very confi dent.

“I felt like that all night. I felt confi dent. I stayed with it all night. We were good and we

were bad and we were back to good. I stayed really under control and positive throughout the race, and the guys just kept working hard, and they kept making adjustments. And at the end we had the speed again.

“I just kept telling myself, ‘Do not spin the tires , just take your time on the throttle. And if you do that, you’re going to have a great opportunity here’ because I knew that every-body was going to spin a little bit.

“Restarts just really worked out for us tonight. We took advantage of those. I was really happy that we did, because I struggle

with restarts a lot.”

You said that you have struggled in the past with restarts. Why is that? And was it just a matter of having the fresh tires?

“Well, we all had fresh tires that one time. So, tonight my restarts were good. I had good grip when I got to Turn 1 and could run hard through the corner.

“A big part of our racing right now is the restarts. That fi rst lap or two is where you can gain or lose a lot in a run. So tonight we gained and it worked for us.”

the runaway victory. At-lantic finished with 219 total yards and only seven first downs. Besides Stick-ler’s 17 tackles, Cain Jo-hanns had 15, J.J. Clark to-taled 12 and Jacob Carlson had 10 stops to go with his two interceptions. Clark had a team-high three solo tackles for loss.

Stickler had 101 tackles a year ago and Clark had 85.

“They have quick guys that shoot gaps, and when they go even front they bring in those two big guys (Stephens and Jared DeVoe) inside,” Morri-son said. “Their lineback-ers get after it. They’re a bunch of wrestlers. They’re physical.”Multiple penalties

In last year’s game, 11 penalties were called on each team, including 94 yards in infractions against the Panthers. Creston/O-M opened the 2014 season with 14 penalties for 155 yards in defeating Norwalk 27-17, so Morrison said

that’s been an area of em-phasis this week. The only saving grace was that Nor-walk also had 110 yards in infractions.

“We had 155 yards in penalties and we can’t have that and beat good teams,” Morrison said. “They had 110 yards, so that kind of balanced out. We have to clean that up. You don’t want helmet to helmet contact. We don’t teach that, but kids get in situations and they’re (of-ficials) emphasizing that this year. We had pass in-terference, illegal shift and motion that you get in that first game. I think we’ll be fine. The kids came out and played hard and got a win.”

There are no projected changes in the Panther starting lineup. Game time is 7 p.m., a half-hour ear-lier than the Class 3A con-tests on the Creston/O-M schedule.

Next week the Panthers begin district play at home against Winterset, which opened with a 15-14 vic-tory over Oskaloosa.

Today is Sept. 4, 2014, the 247th day of the year. There are 118 days left in 2014. Be-low are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Sept. 1-7) in history.5 years ago

Staff and residents at Creston Nursing and Re-hab Center celebrated Mary Cusack’s 107th birth-day. According to the Iowa Department on Aging, at the time, Cusack was the oldest living person in Union County, and there were only 43 people who were 107 years old or older in Iowa. Cusack said her birthday was just like any other day, but with no peer pressure.

According to Iowa offi-cials, employers had to pay more to the state unem-ployment insurance trust fund to offset rising jobless insurance benefits paid to laid-off workers. Officials with Iowa Workforce De-velopment estimated 60 percent of the state’s 80,000 employers would have to pay more, the first increase in eight years. The fund had $508 million remaining af-ter paying out $709 million in benefits to unemployed workers over the previous 12 months.10 years ago

Rajesh Goel, owner of Moonlite Motel, expressed concern to the city council that he would lose busi-ness because of the site of the new city water tower to

be constructed behind his motel. His main concern was loading and unloading of construction materials, noise and visual problems for potential guests. The center of the water tower was set to be constructed 176 feet from the fence be-hind Moonlite Motel. The city purchased the land owned by Carol Myers for $25,000. Mayor Mike

Tamerius and Water De-partment General Manager Steve Green told Goel they would encourage water tow-er contractors to stay at the motel.

Char Hudson retired as assistant library director at Gibson Memorial Library after 22 years.

President George W. Bush accepted the Repub-lican nomination for presi-

dent to be elected to a sec-ond term. He promised “a safer world and a more hope-ful America.”

Creston/O-M Panthers football team opened the sea-son with a 31-0 victory over Dallas Center-Grimes. Run-ning back Patrick Walsh had a standout performance with 73 yards rushing, five assisted tackles, two unassisted tack-les and two punt returns for 50 yards. Walsh entered the game after Stefan Jensen was injured in the first quarter.20 years ago

Creston High School im-plemented an eight-block scheduling format. This in-cluded 90-minute class pe-riods and a built-in seminar session for meeting with teachers, to replace the tra-ditional study hall. The idea was brought by Creston High School Principal Chris Duree who succeeded Ron Levine in 1992. Response for the new scheduling format was positive from students and teachers.

The former Phillips 66 building was moved to its site on Highway 34. The building, owned by Shirley Lorimor, was donated to the city. Con-tract Movers of Lorimor be-gan moving the building at 10:30 a.m. and completed about 12:30 p.m.

Harold LaMont Otey was executed by electric chair in Nebraska. The last execution in the state was 35 years be-fore. Otey was convicted of raping and murdering Jane McManus, an Omaha pho-tography student.

did start to see that, but that was in addition to him not completing his activities of daily living, routine things that always happen. ... So, we were concerned.”

Perkins was eventually diagnosed with vascular de-mentia, a form of dementia caused by strokes. It is the second most common form of dementia in older adults, and can be described as vas-cular lesions in the brain.

Perkins was taken to a nursing home in March 2012, and currently lives in a care center in Red Oak.Another discovery

Within three weeks, in July 2011, Hollen’s paternal grandmother Helen Hollen, formerly of Creston, had a stroke. She was living in Red Oak at the time to be closer to family because of health concerns.

“She woke up in bed and had knocked the phone off trying to call for help. The neighbors in her little apart-ment complex in Red Oak had called us, I think, be-cause they were worried be-cause her door wasn’t open by a certain time, because they all kept a pretty good eye on each other,” Hollen said. “We rushed over there and found her in bed, and she had paralysis on one side, so we could visually see she had had a stroke. She was confused, and very agitated obviously.”

She was taken to the hos-pital, and eventually, be-cause of the stroke, was di-agnosed with a mild form of dementia.

Hollen’s grandmother was left with paralysis of the

left side, which limited her. She was wheelchair-bound after that.

“It’s always hard, no matter what education you have,” Hollen said. “When anything hits you or your family personally, it’s always hard to keep that perspec-tive on things. So, I think, luckily I’ve been able to do that to an extent, even though as you go through it with your own family, and all the emotions get into it and all that, it’s really hard to deal with that.”

Helen Hollen died in Jan-uary 2013.Association

“I think it’s given me per-spective, and I’ve been able to refer to certain things to hopefully educate other people in my family about the diseases, about demen-

tia,” Hollen said. “That way, we are able to find tools when we talk with loved ones.”

Hollen had planned to work for the Alzheimer’s Association in the Creston office after college gradu-ation, but about the time she graduated, the office closed. She currently is the pathway navigator at Southwestern Community College.

Still, she stayed in touch with people at the asso-ciation and up to date with events, and continued to be part of the association as a volunteer with the Walk to End Alzheimer’s Saturday at McKinley Park.

“This is just one story out of so many. Every-one has their own story, they’re all in a journey, so it’s exciting to be able to

potentially use the walk as an opportunity to get to know more people in your community, and build that support system,” Hollen said.

Hollen continues to sup-port people affected by de-mentia by telling her story and being able to connect to others with similar jour-neys.

“I think if anybody can relate to something, they’ll be more likely to support it,” Hollen said. “I think a lot of people are care-giving nowadays for loved ones and see things first hand. ... When you’re able to connect to that and the journey that it takes you through, and you connect with others who have gone through that, but maybe in a different way because everybody’s situation is different, it gives you that system or network to build off of.”Dementia

Dementia is a category of brain diseases that cause long term loss of the ability to think and reason clearly. It affects a person’s daily functioning, and is a severe change from the person’s previous mental function.

Of people over the age of 85, 47 percent get some form of dementia.

The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. This disease wors-ens as it progresses, and symptoms include confu-sion, aggression, trouble with language and long-term memory loss.

There are very few known causes for Alzheim-er’s disease. The disease has no cure, and is fatal.
