ATLANTIC (AP) — A 30-year-old west-ern Iowa mother has pleaded guilty to alle-gations that she devised an elaborate hoax about a diagnosis of cancer for her 5-year-old daughter.

On Monday Leatha Slauson pleaded guilty in Cass County Dis-trict Court in Atlantic to two counts of child endangerment, one of administering harmful substances, one of theft and one of unlawful possession of a prescrip-tion drug. Prosecutors dropped other charges in exchange for her pleas. Her sentencing is set for Dec. 22.

Prosecutors say Slauson said on a Facebook page that her daughter Riley was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2013. Donations soon be-gan pouring in. An investigation later deter-mined that Riley was not sick.

Riley and her four siblings are staying with their father in Atlantic. Police say he’s not con-nected to the hoax.

Twenty-five hunters using muzzle-loaders braved cold and snowy con-ditions at Green Valley State Park for the 11th annual deer hunt Satur-day and Sunday.

The hunters harvested 24 deer, which was more than 2013, but well under the 40 deer average that held steady the first nine years of the hunt.

“The statistics for the hunt were similar to last year,” Park Ranger Alan Carr said. “It is beginning to look like the deer population in the park has been reduced. This would be consistent with the deer popu-

lation across the state that is show-ing reductions in many locations.”

Of the deer har-vested, 54 percent were does and 46 percent were fawn and spike bucks. Park staff and wild-life biologist will continue to mon-itor the deer herd at the park and de-cide if the quota of 50 deer needs to be changed for future special hunts.

The county’s tax levy dropped again for the 2014-15 fiscal year, ranking Union County fourth in the state of Iowa.

This is the second drop since holding the highest county tax levy in the state for the 2012-13 fiscal year. Union County residents can expect to pay 13.71302 dollars per thousand, trailing Clarke, Lucas and Wayne counties.

Clarke County surpassed Lucas and Wayne with their 2014-15 tax

levy of 15.41076 dollars per thou-sand.

But remem-ber, just because the county levy is down does not mean total tax-es are lower for 2014-15.

“You still have all those other taxing entities like the city, school, hospital and townships,” Union County Auditor Sandy Hysell said. “The county is just a piece of that pie.”

An increase in land valuation

can also have an impact on total dollars spent on taxes.

Union County Board of Super-visors Chairman Dennis Brown said it has been a conscious deci-sion to be conservative with their spending.

“We are trying to be proactive so we are not caught short on something that could cost us a lot more,” Brown said. “And we are continuing to pay down the debt, as we get those bonds paid off, there is less that we have to tax.”Debt service

One area of focus for the county is the debt service at 2.13958 dol-

lars per thousand. It ranks second highest in the state behind Taylor County.

“If you look back over the years, it is steadily going down,” Hysell said.

The total debt for the county is about $7,690,00 as of the end of the fiscal year 2013-14. The orig-inal debt total from bonding was about $12,740,000.

Union County recently paid off the second of six different bonds and is on pace to cross off two more in the 2017 fiscal year. This includes paying off the largest bond of more than $5 million that

was used for the CHS bean mill plant.

“We can’t take credit for all of that,” Brown said. “We have very good elected officials and de-partment heads that understand the situation and are going out of their way to be thrifty.”

The two remaining bonds —

Jesse Bolinger awarded doctorate

On Oct. 31, Jesse Bolinger was awarded a Ph.D. from C a p e l l a Universi-ty in Min-neapolis, Minn. He plans to a t t e n d c o m -m e n c e -m e n t in Washington, D.C., in March 2015. While a Ca-pella University student, Bolinger majored in public service leadership – special-ization in nonprofit organi-zation management.

Bolinger currently di-rects the Retired Se-nior Volunteer Program (RSVP). RSVP is a volun-teer network for people 55 and older who share their experience and education in their local communities. It is a federal program af-filiated with Graceland University’s Youth Launch Commission and the Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service.

“Earning a doctoral degree will assist me in achieving my lifelong goal of helping others,” Bolinger said. “Rural America holds great potential, and I hope my future research will help individuals and organiza-tions learn and grow.”

Bolinger’s dissertation is about the impact of ed-ucation, work, and mental health on volunteerism. The dissertation abstract states the purpose of the study: “Rural Iowa seniors, individuals sixty-five years of age and older, make up a portion of individuals who may be potential vol-unteers for nonprofit agen-cies in rural communities. It is possible that volunteer

coordinators may utilize a volunteer’s past work and educational experience to align the volunteer with appropriate service oppor-tunities. A third under re-searched area in the rural setting is the impact of vol-unteer service on a senior individual’s overall mental health.”

“I am pleased for Jesse,” said Julie Neas, director of commission. “He has been a valued member of our team since last May and this accomplishment and its concentration on senior volunteers can only help RSVP’s program goals and directions.”

In addition to completing this degree, Bolinger has a Master of Science degree in nonprofit management from Regis University in Denver, Colo. He began his pursuit of higher edu-cation at Graceland Uni-versity with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in communi-cation and minors in hu-man resource management and leadership in 2007. In addition to RSVP, he has worked in various positions at Graceland University in-cluding program consultant in the nursing program and admissions.

“It’s obvious that Jesse has had a lifelong commit-ment to helping, working with, and leading others – particularly seniors – to make his community bet-ter,” said Greg Sutherland, executive director of Affili-ate Relations at Graceland University. “We are look-ing forward to watching him put what he has learned into action – and we expect something special will re-sult from his efforts and dedication.”

Iiams made several ad-missions to officers about how drunk he was and that he was 20 years old. Iiams was transported to Union County Law Enforcement Center and offered to give a sample of his breath. Iiams gave a valid sample of his breath on the Data Master, and his sample result was .123.

Iiams was released on his own recognizance.

of Central City was charged with public intoxication 10:55 p.m. Saturday at Ca-sey’s General Store in Afton.

According to an Afton Police report, officers were contacted by Casey’s em-ployees reporting a person that was intoxicated at the store, located at 501 N. Douglas St. When officers arrived on scene, Schwab was walking out toward his white Chevrolet pickup. Officers stopped Schwab and could smell alcohol on his breath. Schwab had slurred speech and had dif-ficulty standing. When offi-

cers inquired if Schwab had been drinking, he said he had been, and he had had at least three beers. Officers inquired where Schwab had been, and Schwab said he had been deer hunting, and had gone in the ditch north of Afton. This info matched a radio call to Union Coun-ty Sheriff about a vehicle in the ditch on Creamery Road.

Schwab was released on promise to appear.Miscellaneous

Creston High School preparing for Purple Out

Creston High School FBLA and Student Govern-ment will be teaming up again this year to raise money for the March of Dimes with a week of events. In addition to a coin war, students will also be partnering with the Cres-ton/O-M wrestling team to do another Purple Out event, which will be called “Pinning for Preemies.”

T-shirts for the event are on sale now. Forms need to be turned in with money to the high school office by 11 a.m. Nov. 24.

The coin war will start Dec. 8 and continue through Dec. 12 at the various Creston schools.

In the weeks prior to the wrestling meet on Dec. 11, students will be selling T-shirts with this year’s theme. Wres-tlers will wear touches of purple at the meet. New this year will be carnival events for children in the high school commons prior to the wrestling meet.

Tomas Young, rest in peace There were 8,920,000 mil-

itary veterans in the United States as of last June, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Sometime last Sunday or Monday, hours before Vet-erans Day began, that number dropped by one, when Tomas Young died at home in Seattle, with his wife by his side. He was one of many soldiers who were sent to Iraq and were grievously injured there.

The public may know more about Tomas Young than about most veterans, thanks to the re-markable documentary “Body of War,” directed and produced by legendary talk-show host Phil Donahue and filmmaker Ellen Spiro. His journey, his struggle and now his death fol-low an arc along the tragic U.S. wars and occupations in this post-9/11 world.

Like so many, Tomas was in-spired to join the military after Sept. 11. He was surprised to learn, though, that he would be deployed not to Afghanistan, but to Iraq. On April 4, 2004, five days after Tomas arrived in Baghdad, he was shot in the spine, paralyzing him from the chest down. The injury ren-dered him a paraplegic, causing a cascade of additional com-plications. His breathing was labored. His body’s capacity to

regulate temperature was im-paired, occasionally requiring that he wear an ice-pack vest. Despite the enormous challeng-es, Tomas summoned tremen-dous strength and embarked on a path of antiwar activism.

During the summer of 2005, he joined the grieving moth-er-turned-peace-activist Cin-dy Sheehan at Camp Casey, the protest camp in Crawford, Texas, not far from the ranch of then-President George W. Bush. Cindy named the en-campment after her dead son, Casey, killed on the same day in the same city — Sadr City — where Tomas was shot. Cindy Sheehan stood in protest out-side Bush’s retreat while he va-cationed there, and the protest grew and grew. Tomas joined Iraq Veterans Against the War, and served on its board of direc-tors.

In 2008, I spoke with Tomas. He directed a comment to then-Vice President Dick Cheney: “From one of those soldiers who volunteered to go to Af-ghanistan after Sept. 11, which

was where the evidence said we needed to go, to [Cheney], the master of the college de-ferment in Vietnam: Many of us volunteered with patriotic feelings in our heart, only to see them subverted and bastard-ized by the administration and sent into the wrong country.”“Body of War” depicts the personal cost of war. In one of the most moving scenes in the film, Young meets Sen. Robert Byrd, the longest-serving sen-ator, with the most votes cast in Senate history (more than 18,000). Byrd said his “no” vote on the Iraq war resolu-tion was the most important of his life. Young helps him read the names of the 23 senators who voted against the war res-olution. Byrd reflects: “The immortal 23. Our founders would be so proud.” Turning to Young, he says: “Thank you for your service. Man, you’ve made a great sacrifice. You served your country well.” Young re-plies, “As have you, sir.”

The release of “Body of War” propelled Tomas into the lime-light, as the country became embroiled in the hot summer and the 2008 presidential elec-tions. It was then that a blood clot lodged in his arm, causing severe complications. He lost most of the use of his arms, and

suffered diminished ability to speak. He never lost his deep commitment to peace, or his hope that those responsible for the war would be held account-able.

In February 2013, appearing before an audience of “Body of War” in Litchfield, Conn., via video stream, he shocked the audience by telling them that he intended to end his own life by stopping eating.

He was still in his hometown of Kansas City, Mo., with his wife, Claudia Cuellar. Tomas was battling extreme, chron-ic pain, and as Claudia told us after his death, he found some relief from marijuana, which is illegal in Kansas and Missou-ri. So they moved to Oregon, where medical marijuana is legal. Unfortunately, Claudia felt the Veterans Affairs hospi-tal in Portland did not support his use of marijuana, and puni-tively reduced his prescription pain medications in response. Seeking a safe, compassionate place for Tomas, they moved to Seattle, another place with legal medical (and now, recreational) marijuana. Tomas and Claudia felt the VA dragged its heels, leaving them to ration his pain pills.

It was in the midst of this or-deal that Claudia found Tomas,

last Monday morning, lying in deep silence. He was dead.

Eighteen months earlier, he had written an open letter to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. He ended the letter: “My day of reckoning is upon me. Yours will come. I hope you will be put on trial. But mostly I hope, for your sakes, that you find the moral courage to face what you have done to me and to many, many others who de-served to live. I hope that be-fore your time on earth ends, as mine is now ending, you will find the strength of character to stand before the American pub-lic and the world, and in partic-ular the Iraqi people, and beg for forgiveness.”

May Tomas Young, who fought so hard for peace in life, now rest in peace.

Letter to the editor

HOLLYWOOD—Happy Tues-day, everybody, and God bless America.

L.A. Magazine said stand-up comics are now society’s front line of defense against cultural folly and government misdeeds. It’s dangerous if we’re too funny. Will Rogers once joked that Ameri-cans have the best government that money can buy, and then he died in a mysterious plane crash in Alaska.

Architectural Digest ran pic-tures of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s twenty-million-dol-lar Bel Air home. In her honor the house has a huge back door. Kim Kardashian posed for photos by the swimming pool while sitting on a cast-iron chair, and after she stood up and left, they had to fluff it up.

Miley Cyrus was spotted at Thursday’s USC game with USC junior Patrick Schwarzenegger by TMZ. The story had to be updated to specifically identify Patrick by name. Miley was originally iden-tified as dating the son of Arnold Schwazenegger, and that doesn’t narrow it down in Los Angeles.

The Man Who Shot Osama bin Laden drew huge ratings on Fox News last week as U.S. Navy SEAL Robert O’Neill described the training, the flight to Pakistan,

his shooting of bin Laden and the escape in detail. The kill itself was swift. O’Neill used a Domino’s hat to get in the room, it works every time.

Congress was proposed a bill Friday to cut off Social Security benefits to all suspected Nazi war criminals living inside the U.S. Many of them fled to the U.S. sev-enty years ago. It took Congress this long because they had to wait until Americans could figure out how to build rockets without their help.

Homeland Security ripped the Secret Service over the lat-est fence-jumping incident at the White House. There have been forty fence-jumping incidents at the White House over the last five years. Half of them were intruders trying to get in and the other half was President Obama trying to get out.

Vladimir Putin arrived in Aus-tralia for the Group of Twenty summit with four Russian destroy-ers just off the coast. It was a wise move. With Australia, Britain and the U.S. mad at him for invading Ukraine and China mad at him for flirting with China’s first lady, you can never over-plan a ride home.

Russia announced their long-range bombers will fly on recon-naissance missions from the Arctic

Circle to the Caribbean to the Gulf of Mexico. It’s one of two things. Russia is either flexing its military muscles or they’re so broke they have to make extra money by do-ing Christmas deliveries for Ama-zon.

President Obama vowed to le-galize five million illegal aliens if the GOP Congress doesn’t pass immigration reform. There’s no middle. Congress is considering making Major League Baseball’s Opening Day a national holiday, and that’s the closest the Repub-licans will get to immigration re-form.

New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio declared New York Ebola-free Wednesday after the Ebola-infect-ed doctor rode out his three-week quarantine. Dallas was also de-clared Ebola-free after its exposed patients made it through the three weeks. Apparently the cure for Ebola in America is for the elec-tion to be over.

The National Geological Survey reported a five-point earthquake struck the Southwest Tuesday which was felt up and down the state of Oklahoma. It’s a sign of the times that the politicians won’t mention. The economy is so bad in California that even the earth-quakes are moving back to Okla-homa.

Why airfare keeps rising despite lower oil prices NEW YORK (AP) —

Planes are full. Passengers clamor for amenities. In-vestors want a payout. New planes are on order.

Those are all reasons the airlines likely won’t be pass-ing their recent savings on fuel along to fliers in the form of lower fares.

In fact, fares are going higher. And those bag fees that airlines instituted in 2008 when fuel prices spiked aren’t going away either.

In the 12 months ended in September, U.S. airlines saved $1.6 billion on jet fuel — their largest expense. In the first three quarters of this year, airlines posted a 5.7 percent profit margin, robust for the industry but lagging behind the 10 per-cent average for the Stan-dard & Poor’s 500.

The main reason the air-lines are not sharing the riches with passengers: There is no compelling rea-son to do so.

In the past six years, air-lines have done a great job

of adjusting the number of flights to fall just short of demand. As a result, those who want to fly will pay a premium to do so. Airlines are selling a record 85.1 percent of their domestic seats. Thanks to several me-ga-mergers, four big airlines control the vast majority of flights, leaving very little room for another airline to undercut fares.

With that in mind, here’s a closer look at what’s going on with airfare and the price of jet fuel:

— The average domes-tic airline ticket during the first nine months of this year rose 3.1 percent to $374.96, according to an Associat-ed Press analysis of data from the Airlines Report-ing Corp., which processes ticket transactions for air-lines and travel agencies. That figure doesn’t include another $56.32 in taxes and fees that passengers pay.

— In the 12-month period ending in September, U.S. airlines burned through

nearly 16.2 billion gallons of fuel. They paid an average of $2.97 a gallon — down from $3.07 the prior year, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. That 10-cent drop saved the industry $1.6 billion. Fuel prices have since fall-en further. United Airlines estimates it will pay $2.76 to $2.81 a gallon during the last three months of the year.

— Put another way: U.S. airlines burn through 311 million gallons of fuel in a week. Lower fuel prices are saving them $31 million a week.

— Granted, with 751 mil-lion passengers carried last year that averages out to a savings of $2.15 for each leg of a trip a passenger takes: $4.30 on a roundtrip non-stop ticket or $8.61 on a roundtrip connecting itin-erary.

— Fuel accounts for 34 percent of an airline’s op-erating costs. The non-fuel costs include salaries and benefits, lease payments

on airplanes, maintenance and fees for landing at air-ports. That doesn’t include the cost of reservation sys-tems, marketing or food and drinks.

— Airlines are also rein-vesting in their planes, air-port terminals and comput-ers. In the first nine months of this year, U.S. carriers spent $10.2 billion on capi-tal improvements, according to the industry’s trade and lobbying group, Airlines for America. That more than $1 billion a month, the highest pace since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

— Airlines are on the larg-est jet-buying spree in the history of aviation, ordering more than 10,000 new planes with manufacturers Airbus and Boeing in the past five years. Those orders are for new, fuel efficient planes. A temporary drop in oil prices shouldn’t slow that process. New jets last 15 to 20 years and the buying is driven by cheap credit almost as much as high oil prices.

Iowa police seek ways to streamline hiring process

DES MOINES (AP) — Some Des Moines police de-partments are studying ways to join forces and streamline the hiring process in an effort to save money and hire a more diverse force.

Ankeny officer Jacob Mill-er told The Des Moines Reg-ister that he spent a year ap-plying for job openings at law enforcement agencies until he was hired in the central Iowa city. The 24-year-old said he filled out more than 10 differ-ent applications and took sev-eral written exams and physi-cal fitness tests.

“Everyone had the same criteria that you had to meet,” he said. “Why do all of that four or five different times when you could just do it once?”

Police chiefs in the Des Moines-metro area began meeting this fall to find ways to cut costs and end duplica-tion of some procedures. They hope to set up a system where

candidates only have to fill out one application and undergo the written exams just once.

“I think this is a great op-portunity to look at an issue that could save the taxpay-er some money and save the candidates some time,” said Gary Mikulec, the police chief of Ankeny. “We just need to make sure it’s beneficial to all the cities.”

He said that a streamlined hiring process for police offi-cers could be established by spring.

In northern Iowa, about 11 law enforcement agencies be-gan working together in 2007 to recruit and hire officers, sharing the cost of advertising openings. A list of candidates who pass state-mandated ex-ams is shared with the depart-ments.

“It’s worked great,” Es-therville Police Chief Brent Shattow said. “It’s increased our application pool dramati-cally.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of foreign ex-change students studying at U.S. colleges and universi-ties is at a record high, with nearly one-third coming from China.

A report by the Institute of International Educa-tion, in partnership with the State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, said nearly 900,000 international students were studying in the U.S. during the 2013-14 school year, up 8 percent from a year earli-

er.During the same period,

there was a nearly 17 per-cent increase in the number of Chinese students.

The other top countries of origin were India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Canada.

The United States hosts more of the world’s 4.5 mil-lion globally mobile high-er education students than any other country, but just a little more than 4 percent of all undergraduate and graduate students are inter-

national students.A burgeoning middle

class combined with a view that America has quali-ty colleges and universi-ties are factors cited to be pushing the demand from China. Kuwait, Brazil and Saudi Arabia were also among the countries that have seen double-digit gains in the percentage of stu-dents coming to the United States to study, and govern-ment-funded scholarships have likely contributed to the growth.

In addition to contrib-uting billions to the U.S. economy, study-abroad programs strengthen ties “necessary to solve global challenges,” Evan Ryan, a State Department official, told reporters.

A record number of Americans are studying abroad, although their stints overseas tend to be short-er and there are far fewer American students who par-ticipate in such study pro-grams than foreign students who come to the U.S.

Number of foreign students in US hits record high

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) People’s spirits are lighter today, and everyone is happy at work. However, shortages, delays and silly mistakes at work also are likely. Double-check travel plans.

Dear Readers: With win-ter almost here, you need to make sure the ROOF on your home is in good repair. Get up on a ladder or use binoculars to scope out any cracked or misshapen shin-gles. Look for missing shin-gles or broken pieces lying on the ground around the home. This could be an indication of varmints! If you are unsure of damage, make sure to call a professional roofer, who can check the shingles and underneath them, as well as around chimneys and gutters for water leaks. — Heloise

P.S.: A roof is one of the biggest costs for your home, so don’t dawdle! Check it out and get repairs made.

COVERED HANDLEDear Heloise: I save emp-

ty, cardboard paper-towel rolls to use on shopping-cart handles during cold-and-flu season. Most stores do offer alcohol wipes, but sometimes the container is empty or the wipes are dried out. I cut the roll from end to end and snap it over the cart handle. When done shopping, I just toss it into the trash on the way out. — Rita in Huntsville, Ala.

CORRODED BATTERY

Dear Heloise: There was a lot of corrosion buildup on my car-battery terminals. With winter here, especially in Fargo, N.D., where I live, it’s important to have the bat-tery in tiptop shape. I made a thick paste of regular baking soda from the kitchen and a little water. I made it thick so it stays on.

Then I used a toothbrush I keep in my toolbox and dabbed the baking-soda mixture onto the battery ter-minals. I let it sit for a few minutes, then scrubbed away all the dirt and corrosion. No wire brush needed! — Fred V., via email.

You are right! A dead battery in the middle of a blizzard or snowstorm is not what you want to face. Bak-ing soda to the rescue! Ev-eryone needs a box or two around. If you want to learn more money-saving and safe-ty hints, order my Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Rec-

ipes pamphlet by sending $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Anto-nio, TX 78279-5001. Spilled oil on the garage floor? Try sprinkling some baking soda on it, let dry and then sweep up. — Heloise

MARKED LED BULBSDear Readers: LED light

bulbs are supposed to last longer than the regular ones. However, do read the “fine print” on the packaging about normal usage. I mark the date on the bulb in per-manent marker when chang-ing out bulbs. This lets me know how long it lasted. — Heloise

BABY-FOOD BOXESDear Heloise: Baby food

now comes in small, clear, rectangular containers. I re-wash and use them to store jewelry sets. It makes storage easy and stackable, there is room for complete sets, and it’s easy to see. Great for smaller objects, clips, pins, nails, you name it. — Barba-ra B., Henderson, Texas

The Numbers Game

Tourney gamesDES MOINES (AP)

— Des Moines will host first and second-round games of the NCAA men’s basketball tour-nament in 2016.

The NCAA an-nounced Monday that Iowa’s capital city will be among eight sites to host early-round games next season.

Landing such a pres-tigious event is a major coup for Des Moines, which has hoped to host the NCAA tournament ever since Wells Fargo Arena opened in 2005.

The arena hosted the NCAA women’s basketball tournament — which included leg-endary Tennessee coach Pat Summitt’s last game — and the NCAA wres-tling championships in 2013.

Iowa State will serve as the tournament host, so the Cyclones can’t play in Des Moines in 2016.Steelers win

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — This time, the Pitts-burgh Steelers beat their struggling opponent.

Ben Roethlis-berger and Le’Veon Bell were an impressive duo in Music City on Monday night.

R o e t h l i s b e r g e r threw a 12-yard touch-down pass to Antonio Brown with 9:01 left, lifting the Steelers to a 27-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans.

Pittsburgh (7-4) staged an impressive ral-ly in the second half to take sole possession of second in the successful AFC North heading into the bye. Bell ran for 204 yards and a TD, and Wil-liam Gay returned an interception 28 yards for a score. Shaun Su-isham kicked two field goals.Blockbuster

ATLANTA — Ja-son Heyward stirred up enormous expectations when he joined the At-lanta Braves at age 20. He homered in his first big league at-bat. He was voted to the All-Star Game as a rookie. He was hailed as the future of the game by Hank Aaron.

Heyward never quite lived up to the hype, and now he’s heading to a team looking to bounce back from tragedy.

Concerned that Hey-ward would leave as a free agent after next season and rebuilding with an eye toward their new stadium, the Braves dealt their right field-er and reliever Jordan Walden to the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday for promising pitch-er Shelby Miller and a minor-leaguer.

The NL Central champion Cardinals felt compelled to pursue Heyward after top pros-pect Oscar Taveras was killed in a car crash last month in the Domini-can Republic. The team hopes to sign Heyward to a long-term extension but didn’t want to go into next season without adding to the offense.

Eight Panthers on all-district first teamBriley, Nielsen, Thompson unanimous picks

By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

Creston/O-M’s re-cord-breaking season that resulted in the team’s first trip to the UNI-Dome gar-nered more than a dozen honors on the Class 3A All-District 8 teams an-nounced over the weekend.

The Panthers were the last District 8 team playing in the postseason, having knocked off district champion Dallas Center-Grimes in overtime in the quarterfinals, 50-49. After the Panthers were de-feated by Sioux City Heelan in the semifinals Thursday night, the all-district selec-tions were released.

The Panthers (10-3), who finished second to DC-G in the district at 5-1, had eight players named to the all-district first team. Three of them were unanimous choices in wide receiver Bryce Briley, offensive line-man Jordan Thompson and Alex Nielsen at an offensive at-large position after DC-G’s Austin Kloewer was named the first-team quar-terback.

Other first-team Panthers are sophomore running back Chase Shiltz, kicker Conner Pals, defensive line-man Cory Rathe, linebacker Seth Maitlen and defensive back McClain Haines.

Creston/O-M players on the second team are offen-sive tackle Jake Gutschen-ritter, linebacker Alex Tamerius and Pals again as a defensive back.

Receiving honorable mention from Creston/O-M are wide receiver Christian Groumoutis and defensive end Tayler Pettit.

“Our team was represent-ed very well,” said Cres-ton/O-M head coach Brian Morrison. “There are a lot of good players in our dis-trict, and the format of how many spots they have at each position makes it very prestigious to make the first team.”Multiple QBs

Despite beating DC-G in the playoffs, the 35-14 reg-ular-season loss may have

been costly for Panther quarterback Alex Nielsen, for example. DC-G junior Austin Kloewer was named the quarterback, while Nielsen was a unanimous at-large choice as the best offensive player not named to a previous position. The other at-large selection was ADM quarterback Frank Weiland, who battled Niel-sen all year for top passing honors in Class 3A.

Nielsen led all of Class 3A in pass-ing yards ( 2 , 8 6 8 ) and total r u s h i n g and pass-ing yards ( 3 , 4 9 8 ) . K l o e w -er was a r u n - f i r s t quarterback, finishing with 994 yards rushing and 1,415

passing.“It was very close for

Alex making it at quarter-back,” Morrison said. “The thing is, traditionally if the district champion has a good quarterback, it’s pretty com-mon for that player to be the first-team quarterback, and he was also deserving. In the same sense, everybody knew that Alex was the best offensive player not on a spot, and he was unanimous for the at-large position.”

Nielsen completed 170 of 297 passes (57.2 percent) for 2,868 yards and 23 touch-downs with 12 interceptions. His 23 TDs ranked second in Class 3A. He also ran for 630 yards, second on the team, and nine touch-downs. His total of 32 pass-ing and rushing touchdowns ranks second in 3A and set a school record, ending at four more than Luke Neit-

zel in 2012.Nielsen passed G.G. Har-

ris as the all-time passing leader for a season in Cres-ton football history. His 23 TD passes also eclipsed the mark of 16 shared by Harris in 2005 and Neitzel in 2011.Young backs

The two first-team run-ning backs will be around to make life difficult for opposing defenses for two more seasons. Both Cres-ton/O-M’s Chase Shiltz and Harlan’s Nick Tarney are sophomores.

Shiltz was also a re-cord-breaker for the Pan-thers. He was first in 3A scoring with 184 points on 30 combined touchdowns rushing and passing, which set a new Panther record. On the ground he amassed 1,250 yards on 222 carries, finishing just 10 yards short

of Neitzel’s school-record rushing total from 2012. He was 14th in Iowa 3A rush-ing, playing on a team that ranked first in 3A and sec-ond in all classes in passing at 2,882 yards.

His 24 rushing touch-downs tops the mark of 20 set by Neitzel in 2012. Shiltz also had 518 yards receiv-ing and six touchdowns. His receiving yardage was 20th among all 3A pass receivers.

Late in the season, Shiltz became especially adept at running the team’s “tank” wildcat formation, taking direct snaps and follow-ing a wall of blockers in a short-yardage formation. Many of his 30 touchdowns came from that set.

“Everybody at the all-dis-trict meeting knew the im-pact he had on our team,” Morrison said. “His rushing yards, receiving yards, the touchdowns, just the over-all production. And, he’s a two-way starter for us, play-ing at outside linebacker. He has patience as a runner. He runs with his eyes. He reads the progression of the defense, that’s what makes him so good. And in pass blocking, he held his own against some really good de-fensive ends and tackles in our league.”Big-play threat

Briley was a big-play p r o v i d e r both as a r e c e i v e r and kick r e t u r n e r for the Panthers. He ranked seventh in Class 3A with 693 yards on 26 catches, and had six receiving touchdowns. He was second in 3A with 596 kickoff return yards and two touchdowns.

“Bryce got banged up at Clarinda (concussion) which affected how he was used the rest of the season on defense,” Morrison said. “But he was a special kid on

Raiders place 17 on all-district teams

By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

Mount Ayr placed 17 players on the Class A District 8 all-district teams after an unbeaten district season and appearance in the state semifinals.

The District 8 all-district teams, announced Monday, also include 10 Nodaway Valley players.

In addition to having 15 players honored, Mount Ayr co-coaches Derek Lambert and Delwyn Show-alter shared the district’s coach of the year award with Bedford coach Bob McCoy.

The Raiders also had the dis-trict’s defensive player of the year in senior lineman Joe Ricker.

Ricker ranked second in the dis-trict with 20 solo tackles for loss and seven solo sacks among his 51 total tackles.

He is one of nine different Raiders on the district’s first team.

Joining Ricker as a first-team defensive lineman is Raider junior Lincoln Lutrick. Lutrick recorded 20.5 total tackles for the season, in-cluding seven solo tackles for loss and one solo sack.

Mount Ayr inside linebackers Riley Weehler and Caleb Schnoor

earned first-team nods within the district. Weehler led the Raiders with 76 total tack-les, despite miss-ing two games early in the sea-son. Weehler added nine solo stops for loss and two solo sacks.

Schnoor, a ju-nior, ranked sec-ond on the team with 56 total tackles, including sev-en solo tackles for loss and one solo sack.

The Raiders earned five first-team nods on offense. Seniors Tucker Winemiller and Jake Ricker earned spots on the first team as of-fensive linemen. Winemiller played guard for the Raiders and Jake Ricker played center.

offense. He really turned it on the last five games of the sea-son and put up numbers. He’s an impact player, and teams had to prepare for him.”

In the 50-49 playoff win over DC-G, Briley was the receiver of a 74-yard pass play to open the second half, and on the drive that tied the game late and forced over-time, he caught a 46-yard pass at the Mustang 1-yard line to set up a TD run by Shiltz.

As a team, Creston/O-M ranked first in Class 3A with 5,295 yards, which was sixth in all classes. The Panthers were first in passing (2,882) and 13th in rushing (2,413).

Offensive tackles Thomp-son and Gutschenritter were a big part of that production, and rewarded with all-district recognition.

“It seems like we get a lot of offensive lineman on the first team because people respect our run game,” Morrison said. “Jordan had an outstanding year and a great career as a three-year starter for us. He was at full-s t r e n g t h this year af-ter battling i n j u r i e s when he was younger, and you could see that he was playing really well.”

Pals was one of 3A’s elite kickers, with six field goals and 59-of-63 on extra points for 93.7 percent. His lon-gest field goal of 52 yards at

Greene County ranks sec-ond all-time in Creston/O-M history, was the longest in 3A this year and is tied for 32nd-longest in state history. He also had touchbacks on 22 kickoffs.

“There are some really good kickers in our district,” Morrison said, “and for Con-ner to get on the first team is a real honor for him. With his kicking, it’s as good as it gets, and he also did a lot for us on offense and defense. He will be a college kicker, and he’ll be even better when his legs aren’t so tired from playing those other positions.”Defensive players

Rathe earned notice last year in the defensive line for the Panthers. Coming back from a leg injury in the sum-mer, Rathe started playing a month into the season and finished with 10 solo or as-sisted tackles for loss. He had three solo and 54 assisted tackles for the season, includ-ing two sacks.

Tackles are officially logged as one point for a solo tack-le now and a half-point for an assisted tackle. Some past Panthers did not have tackle numbers entered that way, but since the all-time leader in total tackles was Matt Buck with 147, and Trevor Frain last year was next at 146 (33 solo and 113 assists), it’s safe to say Maitlen had the best tackling season on record for the Panthers this year.

Maitlen had 47 solo stops and 134 assisted tackles for what is scored as 114.0 tack-les, but actually amounts to 181 tackles that involved him

on the play.The other inside lineback-

er, Tamerius, was next on the team with 20 solo and 81 as-sisted tackles. Both were key parts of the defense, Morrison said.

“Both are outstanding inside linebackers,” Morri-son said. “Maitlen had great numbers. He just had some outstanding games. He plays both ways and never gets tired. He’ll be a special player for us next year. What Alex did just to get back on the field after those two (knee) injuries was remarkable, and he ended up playing really well for us.”Interception king

Haines became Cres-ton/O-M’s all-time intercep-tion leader with nine thefts, topping the mark of eight by Tony Hartman in 2005. He also had 19 solo tackles and 45 assists, moving from safety to outside linebacker because of injuries affecting the Panther defensive lineup.

Haines was also one of four Panther receivers with at least 30 catches and 474 yards, and had five receiving touch-downs. None was bigger than the fourth-down TD catch in overtime that set up Shiltz for the winning two-point conver-sion at Dallas Center-Grimes.

“McClain just does the right thing,” Morrison said. “He was a safety for us, then moved to outside backer. He was put in a tough spot, still playing safety in some schemes. That wasn’t easy for him. But he understood what he needed to do, he un-derstands a team’s route con-

cepts. We would not be where we were as a football team without him on offense and defense.”

Gutschenritter anchored the opposite side of the offen-sive line from Thompson, and also saw some duty on the de-fensive line. He was a load for opposing linemen at 6-1 and 275 pounds.

“Our tackles were the foun-dation for our offensive front, and both played extremely well,” Morrison said. “We’re known for playing physical up front, and Jake was a big part of that.”

Pals led the Panthers’ deep secondary with seven inter-ceptions, which is tied for third all-time in Creston for one season. He trailed only Haines and Hartman for thefts in a season. As a team, Creston/O-M had 22 pass thefts, 16 by Haines and Pals.

“Conner has been a main-stay back there for us for two years,” Morrison said. “Our secondary in general stepped up against some very good skill kids in our district.”

Morrison said Groumou-tis and Pettit were beyond honorable mention status in performance, but got caught up in the limits one team can have in getting on first and second teams in a competitive district.

Groumoutis had a team-high 49 pass receptions for 652 yards and two touch-downs, ranking eighth in 3A receiving, one spot behind Briley. He also averaged 20.1 yards on 14 kickoff returns and 11 yards on punt returns.

“He had an outstanding season,” Morrison said. “He

had the most receptions on the team. He was reliable. As a returner, he was one of our dynamic players. He and Bryce were outstanding in that phase of the game.”

Pettit was a two-way starter for the Panthers at guard and defensive end, playing bigger than his stature at 6-0 and 180 pounds.

“He stepped up and played well for us on both sides of the ball,” Morrison said. “With-out him, we would not have the season we had. He was playing against bigger kids and he was fine. On defense he was relentless. He had a heck of a game against Hee-lan, when you watch the tape. He’s one of the kids we will talk about when we talk with guys next year about how you play the game.”

box office.The winner of Saturday’s

game will travel to the re-gion’s top seed, Ouachita Baptist, on Nov. 29 in Ark-adelphia, Ark.

Collin Bevins of Creston is a defensive lineman on the Bearcat team but was held out of the Washburn game with concussion syn-drome. Keaton Hulett of Creston is a redshirt fresh-man defensive end.Scoring record

PELLA — Sophomore Colby Taylor of Cres-ton was part of a Central College men’s basketball scoring record Saturday in a 132-118 victory over Ne-braska Wesleyan.

The point total eclipsed

the old mark of 124 set in 1991. The Dutch also set records for most points in a half (70), most free trows attempted (54) and most free throws made (41).

Taylor fell one rebound shy of a dou-b l e - d o u -ble, scor-ing 18 p o i n t s and grab-bing nine rebounds. Also on the Cen-tral team is sophomore guard Pete Walker of Red Oak, a transfer from Northwest Missouri State where he played tennis.

Central plays in St. Louis tonight to take on Missouri Baptist.

Creston’s most complete sports report —each weekday in your...

It doesn’t seem possible that it has been 1 year since you left us suddenly. I know this is your favorite time of year with coon hunting and always will cherish the time you took me and Donna with you. You always had a smile on your face. Your jokes and storytelling were always looked forward too! Some silly..some bizarre and some just down right crazy! But

that is why we loved you. You were our Yogi… never knowing what fun would be had with you. I cherish the many memories I have of

you and your family. You always called me your little sis and would often call to check in. I

know there are a lot of people that miss you but I am confident you are no longer in the pain

you suffered the past few years.

Until we meet again… keep trapping, keep riding and we’ll see you on the other side!

Love,Heather, Clayton

Adair County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary to host annual Tour of Trees

GREENFIELD — The 27th annual Tour of Trees will be Dec. 6 in Adair County. Tours will run 1 to 4 p.m. The tour will begin at the Warren Cultural Center that will be filled with decorated trees. These trees are decorated by local businesses and individu-als. A silver tea will be served during the tour hours by Julie Woollums, dietary manager of Adair County Health Sys-tem.

Five stops have been se-lected to be on the Tour of Trees: Dick Kohler and Tam-my Roper, Sam and Jessica Foster, Lance and Renee Schwartz, Gary and Trish Randel and Greenfield Reha-bilitation and Health Center.

1. The Home of Dick Kohler and Tammy Roper (301 SW Mills St., Green-field).

“Our 1890s vintage home was built by the Don Carlos family and later served as a multi-family residence. In the 1970s, it was converted back to a single family dwell-ing and in 1995 the Kohler’s purchased it. The late Cindy Kohler loved Christmas and had a large Santa collection. Upon entering our home, you will find a 13-foot Christmas tree along with trees through-out all three floors of our home. Looking forward to sharing our Christmas spirit with you.”

2. The home of Sam and Jessica Foster (202 N.E. Sec-ond St., Greenfield).

“We are looking forward to our first Christmas in our new home. Our children also have a tree decorated with or-naments they have made over the years. Outside you will see lighted trees on the front porch along with a sleigh and reindeer in the yard that were given to us by the late Mary Weller.”

3. The home of Lance and Renee Schwartz (2143 201th St., Fontanelle).

“Collections of angels, or-naments, and Dickens’ village are just a sampling of what you will see when touring Lance and Renee Schwartz’s home. Through the years, the couple received many gifts that eventually turned into special collections. When Renee was a child, her grand-mother gave her a crystal an-gel marking the beginning of these collections. Most of the ornaments on the tree evoke memories of special events of special people through the couple’s 32 years of marriage. The Dickens’ village also started as gifts that remind Lance and Renee of peo-ple, places and special events through the years. Along with the many collections and hol-iday decorations, you will see and learn about the family’s Christmas traditions which in-clude a beautiful, formal table setting and some of the fami-ly’s favorite foods. Christmas for the Schwartz family is a special season in which they celebrate the birth of our Sav-ior and give glory to God.”

4. The home of Gary and Trish Randel (2664 Highway 92, Greenfield).

“Christmas at the Gary and Trish Randel home is a cele-bration of family and friends. Our house was moved from its previous location north of Greenfield to its home east of town in 2009. We value the natural setting and you will see many Christmas decora-

tions using native grasses and greenery. Our live Christmas tree is decorated with or-naments given to our three children over the years. Each year we give them an orna-ment to symbolize an event in their life that year. With their ages of 27, 19 and 13, we have accumulated a large collec-tion of ornaments. A second Christmas tree is decorated with a pharmacy ornament collection. We have many homemade decorations as well as a few snowmen in our home. A Willow Tree nativity is displayed and serves as a re-minder of the reason for this celebration.”

5. Greenfield Rehabilita-tion and Health Center (615 S.E. Kent, Greenfield).

“Now under new manage-ment the former Greenfield Manor is now the Greenfield Rehabilitation and Health Center.

Please join us for a tour of facility, enjoy holiday decora-tions, the staff and residents, and all of the changes we have made in 2014.”

Des Moines schools placed on brief lockdown Monday

DES MOINES (AP) — Officials in Des Moines say a high school, a middle school and an elementary school were briefly locked down be-cause of a nearby shooting.

Des Moines Public Schools says East High School, Hiatt Middle School and Carver Community School were put on a partial lockdown Mon-day morning following reports of a nearby shooting.

A partial lockdown means students are allowed to move around inside the schools.

Police say resource officers were dispatched to provide additional security.

The lockdown was later lifted. No suspects have been identified in the shooting, which police believe involved a dispute between several people. No injuries have been reported.

Authorities say there is no connection between the lock-down and shootings in nearby Pleasant Hill, which led to the cancellation of school for sev-eral area schools.

Five stops have been selected to be on the Tour of Trees: Dick Kohler and Tammy Roper, Sam and Jessica Foster, Lance and Renee Schwartz, Gary and Trish Randel and Greenfield Rehabilitation and Health Center.
