ExamplesRecords reveal a vehicle was sold at
Creston Automotive on Feb. 17, 2010, for $8,524.50. The buyer paid $5,000 cash and wrote a check for the remain-ing balance.
However, the cash from this trans-action was never deposited into the company’s business account according to the court documents. An employee from Creston Automotive recalled this specific transaction because the vehicle was sold to a friend.
According to court records, the cash down payment or vehicle loan payoff amounts provided to the dealership for
the purchase of personal vehicles reg-istered to Huntsman and her husband Jeffrey Huntsman have not been de-posited into the business account.
Court records show three Ford vehi-cles registered to the Huntsmans.Investigation
Special Agent in Charge Mike Motsinger of Iowa Division of Crim-inal Investigation said subpoenas for financial records have been served and with “white collar crimes” like this, it takes time to gather all of the evidence. Court records show a number of items and records, both paper and electron-ics have been recovered from Creston Automotive and the Huntsman resi-dence, 707 N. Oak St., and entered into
evidence.No arrests have been made.“Right now we are just interviewing
everybody,” Motsinger said.When asked if Jeffrey Huntsman is
also under investigation, Motsinger was not specific.
“We can’t rule anyone out or anyone in,” Motsinger said. “We’re just start-ing this investigation and getting that information will take some time.”
A loss estimate cannot be deter-mined at this time.
Rick Benson, owner of Creston Automotive, declined to comment on Huntsman or the investigation at this time.
The News Advertiser will have more details as they become available.

said that since 1997, the over-pass that was struck by the silo has been repaired five times after being hit by truck loads.
Schultz said those are the ones that have been just re-ported though.
He said he could name at
least three other times the overpass has been hit.
Transportation officials say that overpass will soon be gone and replaced with a tall-er one, with a 16.5-foot clear-ance, set to open this year.
Another overpass near Sa-lix is expected to be replaced in 2016.

Vandel was also charged on a Department of Corrections warrant for viola-tion of parole 5:30 p.m. Thurs-day at Union County Jail.
According to a Creston Po-lice report, Vandel did violate a protective order by going to the residence of 600 N. Divi-sion St. to get his clothing. Vandel admitted to going to the residence and having con-tact with the resident, but said he did not know he couldn’t be at the residence.

days while the resident was away.
During an investigation of the violation of the protective order, Vandel was charged and he asked officers to get his phone from the room he was staying. The resident consented to a search of the residence, and a bag contain-ing 16 hydrocodone pills was discovered near his phone. Vandel failed to affix a drug tax stamp as required for more than 10 dosage units. Also during the investiga-tion, a glass pipe containing a green leafy substance consis-tent with marijuana was dis-covered in an area Vandel had access to. A bag containing a green leafy substance was dis-covered on the couch where Vandel was seated. Vandel has a prior possession of mar-ijuana conviction. A bag of alprazalam was discovered in the room Vandel was staying in near his phone.

• Are your assets in a po-tential tax trap?
• Have your beneficiary designations not been up-dated in years?
• Do you have children from a previous marriage that are unknowingly shut out of your estate plan?
• If you outlive your spouse do you know how much income you’ll have to live on?
• Do you know the loca-tion of your assets and im-
portant papers?• Have you overlooked
the chance to increase your current income by not con-sidering philanthropy?

PR INTED WITH
Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
You are strong today and pre-pared to fight for the rights of others. This might be triggered by a romantic involvement with someone.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Passionate discussions with others could lead to future travel plans, especially to wonderful places you never thought you would see. Fingers crossed!
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Because someone is helping you at your job, you can make headway today. You might get a raise, or at least praise. (It’s always good to have a mentor.)
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a passionate, romantic day! You might fall in love with someone new. You might fall in love all over again with your current partner. Anything can happen.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You have strong views about how you want to redecorate or improve where you live. Let others help you if someone offers. Why turn help away?
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Someone will listen to your passionate views because enthusiasm is contagious. People will respond to what you say today because you believe in your words!
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If shopping today, you will be a bit obsessed about some-thing. This is understandable because you love beautiful things. Someone in the family might help you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) If you look in the mirror today, you will see ways to make yourself more
attractive. This is almost a cer-tainty. Just try it. Keep an open mind and see how you can improve your image.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Secret love affairs might take place now because passions are running hot! Quite likely, this is a situation related to your work or your job. Mum’s the word.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You feel friendly to some-one today and you value his or her friendship. Because of this, you might work on behalf of or do a favor for this person. This makes sense.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A romantic relationship might begin now with some-
one in a position of authori-ty, perhaps your boss. If so, this likely will be a secret. (Ya think?)
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Because you want to expand your horizons, you will love to travel today. You also love the stimulation of intellectual discussions about politics, reli-gion and philosophy. Romance with someone different might begin.
YOU BORN TODAY You are confident and energetic. People immediately sense this
about you. Danger attracts you because you like to live on the edge; but you are straight-forward and honest. This is a testing year of growth and building. This growth will occur beneath the surface. Do not make major changes yet - wait until next year. Strengthen your financial position by reducing your overhead.

Dear Heloise: A tip for seniors on MEDICARE if you are traveling to a foreign country: Buy trip health in-surance. Medicare does not cover you outside the U.S. We learned the hard way. — Betty H. in Arkansas
Betty, this probably is news to many of my readers! There are a few exceptions, one be-ing if you are in the U.S. but the closest hospital is one out-side the U.S., you are proba-bly covered. For example, if you are living next to the Canadian or Mexican border, or traveling through Canada from Alaska and the closest hospital is in Canada. This is a simple, quick overview. — Heloise
P.S.: Do check any health insurance when going out of the U.S.!
CONCISE MANUAL Dear Readers: Here is a
hint I use all the time: Most manuals we get that come with a new item often are in other languages, too. To save space, I tear off the pages I can’t read! — Heloise
CLEANING TOILETSDear Heloise: I know there
is a combination of vine-gar and something to clean toilets. I am looking for a
nonchemical way. Thanks. — Ruth M., Omaha, Neb.
Ruth, it’s as simple as just pouring several glugs (may-be 2-3 cups) of vinegar into the bowl. Let sit for about 10 minutes, then scrub and flush.
If you want to add some cleaning oomph, sprinkle in a cup or so of baking or washing soda. The powder acts like a scrubber, but it will NOT hurt the finish or scratch the porcelain. Safe, cheap and a friend to Mother Earth. There are a bunch of my favorite hints using vine-gar to save you money around the house. To learn these, just order my vinegar pamphlet. Please send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001 (or you can visit www.Helo-ise.com and order it there). Vinegar is cheap, safe and can even kill weeds. What’s not to love? — Heloise
MEMENTO KEEPER
Dear Heloise: I scan me-mentos into my computer. Some are bulky, but most are invitations, thank-you letters, birth/marriage announce-ments, etc. I put them onto my flash drive and plug it into my digital frame. Lovely memories play on a side ta-ble, kitchen counter or wher-ever I place the frame! I keep two digital frames just for this. This way, I can discard the mementos themselves. This reduces clutter and stor-age significantly. — Marie M., Bend, Ore.
Wow! Don’t you love some of the new techno gadgets? Readers, a digital frame is a “frame” that has a screen display, and the photos ro-tate through and start over. Rather like looking at a pho-to album, but you don’t have to turn pages, and the photos won’t fade. Super! — Heloise
SHOESHINEDear Heloise: My dress
shoes were scuffed, and I had no polish, so I sprayed them with foam-type furniture pol-ish and wiped it off. The re-sult was a nice, bright shine! — Ronald N., Alexandria, Va.

From 1995 to 2014, come-dies took in $38.6 billion at the box office, more than ac-tion, adventure and horror movies. And that’s not even counting romantic come-dies, which grossed $9.1 bil-lion. While you might think that comedies are simply a great way to start off an evening with your signifi-cant other or spend an af-ternoon with the kids, they offer even more to all of you (that’s moviegoers every-where): They bring laugh-ter, a great medicine.
Laughter Lets You Go With the Flow: A Universi-ty of Maryland study found that laughter helps your blood vessels relax, promot-ing healthy blood flow and good blood pressure. (Dra-mas — especially bad TV ones — make them stiff and reduce blood flow!) Sugges-tion: “This is Spinal Tap”
Laughter Makes You a Flu-Fighter: Several studies indicate that laughter boosts levels of antibodies that help the body fight off up-per-respiratory infections. Suggestion: “Splash”
Laughter Helps You Lose Weight and De-Stress: When you laugh, even if it’s not spontaneous, you low-er cortisol and epinephrine levels that are implicated in weight gain, blood vessel damage and depression. So the next time you are in-clined to reach for a sweet treat, tell yourself a joke and walk away smiling! Sugges-tion: “The Legend of Ron Burgundy”
Laughter Keeps Glu-cose Levels Level: Want your post-meal blood sugar spikes to be slower and low-er? Try watching a funny movie before or during your
meal. Researchers find that laughter’s effect on the im-mune system and gene ex-pression helps control your blood glucose level. Sug-gestion: “The Pink Panther Strikes Again”
SLEEPING WITH BABY
Around 4 million babies will be born in the U.S. and Canada this year, and if you’re one of the new par-ents, you want to make sure your newbie thrives. Fortu-nately, since 1992 when the American Academy of Pe-diatrics first recommended that infants sleep only on their back to avoid sudden infant death syndrome, the number of tragic incidences has plummeted, and parents have had fewer worries. But there still are around 3,000 unexpected infant deaths every year; so the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the AAP are campaigning to help parents eliminate other causes.
Their No. 1 target: bed-sharing. It increases the risk of SIDS five-fold. Falling asleep next to your infant is particularly risky if you are overweight, have long hair, use soft and cud-dly comforters and pillows, are exhausted, a smoker or even a moderate drinker or taking drugs or medications. (There’s something there for almost everyone!)
You can enjoy bringing baby into bed with you to breastfeed or to comfort or cuddle the child — but do it
while you are fully awake. The best arrangement is to have your little one sleep in your room but not in your bed. Set up a crib with a firm surface and no crib bum-pers, soft bedding or pillows, blankets or other fabric that could interfere with breath-ing. Don’t use pacifiers on strings placed around baby’s neck or clipped to cloth-ing, and avoid exposure to smoke or illicit drugs. Now, if Mom and Dad could just get a good night’s sleep, too!
THE BEST ASPIRIN REGIMEN POST-HEART ATTACK
It’s said that new habits die easily but old habits die hard — and that seems to be especially true when it comes to doctors who send their heart-attack patients home from the hospital with a directive for taking daily aspirin. While the current American College of Car-diology guidelines call for low-dose aspirin (81 mg daily) following a first heart attack to help prevent a sec-ond one, a team of research-ers at the University of Tex-as Southwestern Medical Center found that between January 2007 and March 2011, almost 61 percent of all heart-attack patients were on high-dose aspirin (325 mg) when they were discharged. Only about 36 percent got low-dose. A few folks got other doses. Old habits really do die hard.
Why does this matter? Well, a new study shows
that low-dose aspirin is just as effective as high-dose aspirin when it comes to preventing another heart attack, and it’s less likely to cause complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding, stroke, ringing in the ears and even hearing loss. So, if you or a loved one has suf-fered a heart attack, make sure you talk to your doctor about the benefits of taking low-dose aspirin. If you’re on a higher dose, don’t stop taking it without talking to your doctor; that can increase further heart-at-tack risk. And ask your doc about changing to two low-dose aspirins a day, 162 mg total. We like the cancer protection that dose affords. And remember to drink half a glass of warm water before and after you take each pill.
CALLING ALL CAULI-FLOWER
What do Cheddar, Purple Head, Graffiti and White Cloud have in common? No, they’re not names of charac-ters in a “Toy Story” movie or the members of a punk band from the ‘80s. They’re varieties of cauliflower! This nubby member of the Brassica genus often gets dismissed as a pale imitation of its heartier relatives, like broccoli and cabbage. But in truth, from white to vivid or-ange and purple, this veggie delivers as much flavor, nu-trition and eye appeal as its more popular relatives.
One cup is packed with 77 percent of your daily value of vitamin C, a dose of vita-min K, protein, fiber, B vita-mins like thiamin, riboflavin and niacin, plus the minerals magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and manganese. In addition, cauliflower and
other cruciferous veggies deliver sulfur-containing chemicals that have been shown in lab studies to pre-vent cancer of the bladder, breast, colon, liver, lung, stomach and prostate. When combined with curcumin, the active ingredient in tur-meric, this type of vegetable may lower blood pressure and improve kidney func-tion. So what’s stopping you from rustling up some for tonight’s dinner? Our favor-ite ways to cook cauliflower include:
—Coat the whole head with olive oil and a dry rub made from paprika, red pepper flakes, cumin, rose-mary, salt, black pepper and chili powder. Slow-roast it in a 275 F oven.
—Squeeze fresh lemon and sprinkle olive oil on flo-rets, then top with fresh gar-lic and lemon slices; cover and steam until tender over water that contains slices of fresh ginger.
FOR THE OVER-WEIGHT, STRESS IS MORE DANGEROUS
It’s like adding insult to injury, receiving a one-two punch or getting kicked when you’re down — if you’re overweight, your sys-tem’s already compromised, so your body’s physical re-action to chronic stress be-comes magnified. That re-action threatens your health much more than it would if you were at a healthy weight.
Researchers now can as-sess how increased weight and excess body fat, which cause systemic inflamma-tion, interact with nega-tive responses to repeated stressors: They super-boost levels of the inflammatory
hormone cortisol and the cytokine plasma interleu-kin-6 (IL-6). That’s more than double trouble. In oth-er words, if you’re obese, you triple your chances of having a heart attack from reacting negatively to chronic stressors.
The solution is a short-term shift in how you re-spond to stress paired with a long-term plan to lose weight, unplug your stress response and get happy!
Short term: As a stop-your-stress-response-now solution, when you feel overwhelmed, take a step back and breathe slowly and deeply. It may sound simple, but it helps you feel in con-trol and calm.
Long range: It’s time to upgrade your lifestyle so that you eat nine servings of fruits and veggies a day; eliminate all red meat, add-ed sugars and syrups, and processed grains from your plate; and drink plenty of water (never soda) daily. At the same time, start a walk-ing program (with a pedom-eter), heading for 10,000 steps a day, and take 10 min-utes daily to practice mind-fulness meditation. And don’t stress about making these changes. Enjoy them ... and the younger RealAge you will achieve!

Fall foot health made easy(BPT) - The days of
summer living and relax-ing are over and it’s time to get back on your feet! Whether you are explor-ing orchards, raking leaves or dodging rain puddles, autumn keeps you on your toes. The changing of sea-sons is the perfect time to remember the importance of foot health. Simple steps you take today can help keep feet healthy and com-fortable so you don’t miss a beat this fall.
Savvy shoe shoppingYou’re never too old for
back-to-school shopping! With the summer heat dying down, it’s time to return to the classic shoe or boot. Did you know that two feet are seldom the exact same size? Always remember to buy for the larger foot. Ill-fitting shoes can aggravate feet and can be a source of foot pain. When shopping for new shoes this fall, look for ones with good arch support and a padded outsole made from slip-resistant materi-al. Try shopping for shoes at the end of the day when feet tend to swell and be at their largest, and always wear socks or nylons when shopping if that’s how you will wear the shoes on a dai-
ly basis.Give custom-fit orthotics
a tryOrthotic inserts are of-
ten overlooked, but might be the answer to your foot problems. Dr. Scholl’s Cus-tom Fit Orthotic Inserts slip into shoes to relieve tired, achy feet and eliminate discomfort immediately. They are designed for your unique foot type and work by putting feet into a more supported position. Kiosks at CVS and Walmart stores use over 2,000 pressure sen-sors to measure each per-son’s foot profile, including identifying pressure points and arch type before rec-ommending the best insert for you. Affordable Custom Fit Orthotic Inserts pro-vide all-day relief for tired feet so you can enjoy each day to the fullest ... even if they are getting shorter! For more information or to find a FootMapping Center near you, visit www.drscholls.com.
Dampness dangersRainy days, wet piles of
leaves and puddles can cre-ate obstacles that make it difficult to keep your feet dry. Damp feet can cause discomfort, so when the weather is damp, be sure to
wear footwear made from water-resistant material or treat your favorite shoes with a protective water-re-pellent spray. Always use warm socks made from breathable material, and for extra dryness, sprinkle a small amount of foot pow-der inside your shoes and socks to absorb excess mois-ture so your toes stay warm and dry.
Fall back to basics Just because your open-
toed shoes have been tucked away for the season doesn’t mean you should neglect your feet. Taking care of your tootsies makes them look great on the outside and ensures they stay healthy inside as well. Keep your nails trimmed by cutting straight across to reduce the likelihood of
ingrown toenails. Never cut cuticles; soften them in a warm bath or with mois-turizer and gently push back with a rubber cuticle-push-er. Wash feet regularly with soap and water and always scrub between the toes. While you’re at it, give yourself a quick foot rub to help them stay healthy and warm.
Brisk fall days can be the
perfect reason to get out-side and enjoy an autumn activity. Remember to be smart when shoe shopping, give Dr. Scholl’s Custom Fit Orthotic Inserts a try, watch out for dampness, and con-tinue to keep your feet looking and feeling great! Kick start the fall season on the right foot and don’t miss a step during months to come.

Titans dash Panthers’ dreamSenior duo leads hard-hitting LC attack
COUNCIL BLUFFS — On Tuesday night in At-lantic, when the Class 4A Region 3 state tournament berth is being decided, Cres-ton’s best team in nearly three decades will be on the outside looking in.
Lewis Central (22-14) takes on No. 15 ADM (22-13) in the regional final af-ter both teams swept their semifinal matches Thursday night.
ADM defeated Norwalk while Lewis Central sailed to a 25-16, 25-20, 25-20 vic-tory over a Creston team they defeated 3-1 during the regular season at Atlantic.
Lewis Central is looking for a trip to state for the first time since 2003. Creston has not participated at state since 1987, when coach Pol-ly Luther was the setter for her father, Eldon Gammell.
After a spectacular performance Monday at home against 14th-ranked Glenwood in a 3-1 victory, the Panthers never really found that spark against the hard-hitting Titans Thurs-
day.It was a big day for LC
senior Abby Bergsten, who had a match-high 19 kills. Earlier in the day she ver-bally committed to play volleyball at the nation’s No. 1-ranked junior college, Iowa Western.
Another powerful senior, Reghan Coyle, finished with 14 kills. Emily Albert-son added six and freshman Kathrine Poore was one of two players with five as the Titans finished with 50 kills in three sets and only 10 at-tack errors.
In contrast, Creston amassed only 29 kills — 14 by all-conference senior Na-talie Mostek.
“Against Glenwood we had everybody hitting the ball and tonight it was hit and miss,” said Creston coach Polly Luther. “We had a lot of hitting errors. They have powerful hitters and we have to have touches on the block against a team like that. When we’re not playing up to our potential, it’s hard to get anything go-ing against a good team.”
LC coach Dennis South, who guided the Titans to
that 2003 state tourney in his third year on the job, brought his team to Cres-ton Monday to watch the quarterfinal match. He was pleased in how the girls exe-cuted the resulting strategy.
“We looked at their de-fense, both on film and Mon-day night, and we decided where we felt their weak-nesses were,” South said. “Deep, corner and sideline openings. You saw our girls hit some balls to the ground that weren’t even touched. We lost to Glenwood late in the season when we had 42 hitting errors. Tonight we only had 10. We hit .345 as a team, one of our best hitting nights.”
South attributed the sharp hitting to the team’s crisp passing, which worked effi-ciently off Creston’s service.
“They are high percentage servers,” South said, “but they’re not very aggressive. I can’t say enough about how well our passers played tonight. And our freshman hitter (Poore) came in and had 22 swings and one error. That’s stepping up and doing
Panthers host Norwalk in rematch MondayBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]
Another playoff game, another rematch for the Panthers.
This time, it’s 6-4 Nor-walk, which the Panthers bested 27-17 in the opening game of the season back on Aug. 29.
With the short turn-around between playoff games, Creston/O-M head coach Brian Morrison said it’s a blessing to be playing another rematch.
“Because of the time factor, trying to prepare for teams in short order,” he said. “It’s not easy, but to have tape on them be-forehand is a plus, for both teams.”
Just because the Panthers were victorious in the first meeting doesn’t mean a win on Monday will come easy.
Norwalk is actually ranked 12th in the most re-cent BCMoore rankings, with Creston/O-M 13th. According to BCMoore, the Warriors have the 11th best offensive average in Class 3A at 32.50 points per game and the 21st best defensive average at 21.40 points per game.
Creston/O-M, meanwhile, has the eighth-best offen-sive average at 35.40 points
per game and the 28th best defensive average at 23.80 points per game. BCMoore predicts Creston/O-M as a 1.46-point favorite in Mon-day’s battle.
“It’s definitely going to be a challenge,” Morrison said. “It’s a different type of opponent than Greene County. They’ve got a really good athlete at quarterback, nice skill kids at receiver. They’re going to spread us out and throw the ball. We have to keep the ball in front of us and not give up big plays. I think that will be the key on Monday.”
Brady Bransfield has com-pleted 57.5 percent of his passes for 1,946 yards with 21 touchdowns compared to just four interceptions. Two of those interceptions came in the week one loss to the Panthers.
He ranks third in Class 3A in passing yards, behind Creston/O-M’s Alex Niel-sen, who ranks sec-ond and who also broke the s c h o o l ’ s single-sea-son pass-ing re-cord in Wednesday’s win, surpass-ing G.G. Harris’ mark of
2,014 yards in 2005. Nielsen has thrown for 2,131 yards.
The Warriors boast five receivers with more than 19 receptions and 230 re-ceiving yards, led by Luke Greenslade’s 52 catches for 805 yards and 10 touch-downs. Justin South averag-es 23.2 yards per catch and Devin Pirkle adds six touch-downs.
“They’re more throw first than we are,” Morrison said. “Their primary focus is they have good skill kids. They get them in space and get the ball to them. They’re well-coached and we’ll defi-nitely have our hands full.”
A challenge for the Pan-thers will be putting pressure on Bransfield in the pocket. He gets rid of the ball quick-ly, and is also a threat to run, ranking second on the team with 423 rushing yards to go with seven touchdowns.
“The quarterback gets rid of the ball quick,” Morrison said. “Not a lot of teams put pressure on him, because it’s tough to. We’re going to have to be great tacklers in the open field. We have to bring pressure. We have to take chances and make him uncomfortable in the pock-et.”
Raiders face similar attack in second roundBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]
MOUNT AYR — The Iowa High School Athlet-ic Association is serving Mount Ayr fresh meat on Monday, sending Van Buren of Keosauqua to Raider Country for the second round of the Class A playoffs.
The Raiders have been carnivorous in feasting upon opposing teams’ of-fenses this year.
Whether it was run-heavy teams like Bedford and Earlham, or the top passing attack in Class A in Colfax-Mingo, Mount Ayr’s defense has dom-inated Class A competi-tion all year long.
It’s a 127-mile trip for Van Buren to Mount Ayr.
The Raiders sent Colfax-Mingo packing Wednesday with a 63-7 win in the first round, while Van Buren was a 30-28 winner over Belle Plaine in Wednesday’s first round.
And while Van Buren is an unfamiliar opponent, Mount Ayr co-head coach Delwyn Showalter said the Warriors are similar offensively to recent op-ponents Pleasantville and Colfax-Mingo.
“They remind me a lit-tle bit of the last several teams we’ve played,” he said. “They’re a team that likes to spread the field and throw the ball a lot. They’re a little more bal-anced than Colfax-Mingo was. Van Buren will run it some. They have a fairly mobile quarterback. They rely on him to do a lot of things.”
Garrett Saunders has completed 61.7 percent of his passes for 1,833 yards with 25 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
He primarily has four weapons on the outside, led by Will Mertens with 40 catches and 709 yards with 10 touchdowns. Brandon Plecker adds 34 catches for 679 yards with 10 touchdowns. Brayden Starnes has 25 catches for 264 yards, while Noah Whitten adds 15 catch-es for 110 yards and four scores.
Saunders is the sec-ond-leading rusher on the team with 657 yards and six touchdowns, averag-ing 7.4 yards per carry. Vaughn Helling leads the Warriors with 736 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground.
“A lot of things we did last week in preparation for Colfax-Mingo are go-
ing to carry over really well this week” Showalter said. “Emphasis on pass defense and how we want to handle trips and spread sets, that’s going to con-tinue where we left off.”
Showalter said he ex-pects to see a five-man front from Van Buren, although the Warriors are likely to mix up looks on the defensive side of the ball.
Two areas Mount Ayr holds a decided advantage over the Warriors are size and depth.
“They don’t have as much size as we do,” Showalter said. “They don’t appear on film of games we have, don’t ap-pear to be real physical games. They don’t appear to be a real deep team. I think they have 30 on their roster. That’s anoth-er thing we think we have in our favor. We’ve been able to play a lot of peo-ple and rotate people and keep them fresh.”
Van Buren has had sev-en players carry the ball and six players catch a pass this year. In contrast, Mount Ayr has 14 players with eight or more carries this year and 13 players

Spartan women open at home SaturdaySecond-year coach beefs up roster
The Southwestern Com-munity College women’s basketball team opens its season 2 p.m. Saturday at home against Grand View JV.
Second-year coach Add-ae Houston has a deep-er — and taller — roster than the one that struggled through a 5-24 campaign last year, including last in the nine-team ICCAC Di-vision II league at 2-14.
“There’s no question in my mind that we’ll be improved,” Houston said. “How much? Nobody knows. There are so many things in a season you can’t predict. I’m just hoping we can win some games ear-ly on and establish confi-
dence in ourselves as indi-viduals and in our system, and what we want to do. That way, by the time we hit conference, we’ll at least have that confidence that we can go out and compete.”
Last year’s leading scor-er, Morgan Knorr, has moved on to play at Uni-versity of Illinois-Spring-field, a Division II insti-tution. She averaged 12.1 points and a team-high 2.3 assists.
Post player Darian Pol-son was also a sophomore last year at 10.4 points per game and a team-best 6.1 rebounds per game.
There are four returnees on this year’s squad. Jill Vanderhoof of Villisca av-eraged 6.3 points and was second on the team in re-bounding at 4.4. Houston
expects Vanderhoof and freshman Cambry Schluter of Hopkins, Mo., to be the top shooters at the wings.
Jordan Williamson of St. Charles and Peyton Rus-sell of Bedford also play on the wings after averag-ing just under five points a game last year.
Other wing candidates are Haley Fundermann, who played at Essex, and Khadijah Wilson of Madi-son, Wis.
Na Keiyia Harris of Des Moines is the only return-ing post player. But this year the 6-1 sophomore has some other players with height to compete in the ICCAC rebounding wars.
That group includes 6-0

“We have more size this year,” Houston said. “The best thing that does is hope-fully make us a better rebound-ing team. They are all pretty solid re-bounders and defensive players.”
Houston is relying on three freshman point guards — Sa’Lisa Bruce of Waterloo and the Raytown (Mo.) South duo of Jazz-lyn Wimbush and Sabrina Fountain.
“We have the ability to handle pressure better this year,” Houston said, “but we’re still working on han-dling it at this level. Hope-fully by conference season we’ll have it down.”

the job you’re supposed to do.”Early deficit
Lewis Central set the tone early in the night with a 6-0 lead in set one. The 25-16 win ended with four service aces and six kills by Bergsten and four by Coyle. Mostek opened with four for Creston.
LC zoomed out in front in the second set, 21-12. Creston then came to life, winning the point on a long rally with a big Mostek kill to draw within 21-19.
LC got late kills to take the set, 25-20, as Bergsten and Coyle had already reached double figures in kills (12 and 10, respectively) after two sets.
Mostek served an ace to put the Panthers up 15-14 in the third set. After LC went ahead 22-17, the Panthers responded again as Sydney Dunphy smacked a crosscourt kill and Jami Sickels served an ace.
But Bergsten dominated the final stretch with three thundering shots to deep cor-ners to finish the 25-20 win.
“We finally got rolling a bit in game three when they had 22 on the board,” Luther said, “but against a team with their firepower, you have to come out alive from the very start.”
South said his team’s de-fense effectively neutralized much of Creston’s attack.
“We knew their outside hit-ters number 20 (Marie Hood) and 21 (Dunphy) really liked to hit the line,” South said. “So, our goal was to get them early and force them back to the middle, and that’s exact-ly what happened when we blocked the first three they tried. Then, number 9 (Mo-stek) can hit it anywhere, but we just wanted to get in front of her on defense. We had people in position.”
Ashley Harris, Haylee La-Masters, Hood and Mostek — whose careers includie becoming the first .500 team since the 1990s, and this year’s 20-8 season that included a third-place tie with Lewis Central in the Hawkeye 10 at 6-4, behind Harlan and Red Oak.
“It was kind of a fairy tale season for us,” Luther said. “To put together that kind of record, and finish third in the Hawkeye 10 with the compe-tition that we had. I told the girls early on, if you build it, they will come, and one night we came out to a full gym af-ter warmups and I told them, ‘you built it.’ As a coach you could not ask for a better group of young women as role models for the younger kids. These kids were amazing peo-ple, for them to excel as they did is pretty awesome.”

Libertarian Party“Don’t waste your vote on more of the same -- take back Liberty”“Don’t waste your vote on more of the same -- take back Liberty”
If not NOW, WHEN?In a recent Gallup poll 65% of Americans say BOTH the Democrat and Republican Parties are doing such a poor job of representing
the American people that they are dissatisfied with the effectiveness of the government.
Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain.
How is Your Liberty Today, Iowa?Have the “Republicrats” Made
Your Life Better?
Overregulation and High Taxation are sucking out the life blood of our productive citizens. We Iowans are bottom half on the freedom scale and in the top 15 states for taxation.
Government Growth has occured through every administration in the last 60 years, and when government grows, it steals the wealth from the people as the private sector shrinks.
My platform is simple:
Reduce government and reduce rules by unelected boards. Push back federal encroachment on the state, employ constitutional rule of law to restore:
Economic Liberty, Personal Liberty,Religious Freedom,
Educational Freedom, Property Rights,Restoration of Privacy
It’s time to be more attached to your LIBERTY than to your political party.Please help us by doing these three things:
1. Join us on our E-Campaign by following us on Facebook and Twitter. 2. Please consider joining our 10,000 x $20 Club. We are looking for 10,000 Iowans who care enough about their LIBERTY to donate just $20.
3. Consider hosting a fundraiser/meet & greet.

Continued from page 8A
That’s one area the Pan-thers excelled in Wednes-day’s win over Greene County, as the Panthers had 10 tackles for loss, including two solo sacks from Kadon Hulett.Home game
Another plus for the Pan-thers is getting to host the contest, which kicks off 7 p.m. on Monday.
Tickets for the game can be purchased today and Monday at Creston High School.
“It’s big time,” Morrison said about hosting. “We’re fortunate as far as that’s concerned. Hosting another game, in previous years we were traveling. To have an opportunity, for the seniors, to play in front of the home crowd, it’s a big deal for our kids, the student body and
our community. We should have a big crowd on Mon-day. To get to the quarterfi-nals would be big time right now for our program.”
A win Monday would put the Panthers in the quarter-finals, somewhere they’ve never been before.
The Panthers have never won a second round game in the playoffs.
Creston/O-M came out of Wednesday’s win with only one injury, but it was a scary injury, as Nielsen rolled an ankle.
“It was a lower ankle sprain,” Morrison said. “He’s obviously sore. I’ve heard he’s fine. It’s a short turnaround, so we have to make sure he’s good to go. He’s a big part of our of-fense. Other than that, we have the usual. We knew it’d be a physical game.”

state track c h a m p i -on in the spring, re-turned to the Mount Ayr lineup W e d n e s -day after suffering a fractured arm on Oct. 3. Dolecheck was one of four Mount Ayr runners who neared the century mark in rushing
yards on Wednesday.Mount Ayr, 9-1 overall
and District 8 champion, will be the third district champion that Van Buren (8-2) will have played this year.
The Warriors lost to Montezuma in non-district play and to Pekin in dis-trict action.
“We’d like to keep that streak alive, of them los-ing to district champions,” Showalter said.
The Raiders and War-riors will meet at Raider Stadium, with game time scheduled for 7 p.m.

Citigroup to lay off 370 Des Moines area workers
DES MOINES (AP) — Citigroup says it plans to lay off 370 employees in the Des Moines area by the middle of next year.
The company tells The Des Moines Register the deci-sion came from “ongoing efforts” to increase efficiency of its operations.
Affected employees come from the company’s consumer banking business section. They represent more than two-thirds of Citigroup’s workforce in the Des Moines area.
Employees were told of the layoffs last week.
