Uncertainty fuels speculation on Ferguson, Mo. decision

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — The final weekend before the Thanksgiving holiday passed without a grand jury decision on whether to indict a Ferguson police officer, fu-eling new speculation about the timing as protesters de-mand justice for Michael Brown.

After meeting Friday but apparently not reaching a decision, the grand jury was widely expected to recon-vene on Monday to consid-er possible charges against Darren Wilson, the white suburban St. Louis officer who fatally shot the black 18-year-old after a confron-tation in August. There was no official confirmation about when the grand jury would meet again.

Reggie Cunningham was among Sunday night’s pro-testers. He said he doubted Wilson will be indicted and felt like authorities were de-laying an announcement “to spin this in the most positive way possible.”

“The more that they drag this out, the angrier people are going to be,” said Cun-ningham, 30, of St. Louis. The shooting triggered riots and looting back in the sum-mer, and police responded with armored vehicles and tear gas.

Many thought a grand jury decision on whether to charge Wilson would be announced Sunday, based partly on a stepped-up po-lice presence in the preced-ing days.

Downtown STL Inc., a St. Louis civic group that pro-motes downtown business-es, told members in an email Saturday that the grand jury will reconvene Monday to continue deliberating. The email did not explain how the group knew that, and St. Louis County Prosecu-tor Bob McCulloch’s office

has not commented on the grand jury’s schedule.

McCulloch has said he expected a decision by mid-to-late November, but that’s ultimately not in his control. The 12-person grand jury deliberates in secret and sets its own schedule depending upon when the members are available.

Benjamin Crump, an at-torney for Brown’s family, said they are frustrated the prosecutor didn’t charge Wilson himself or suggest a charge to grand jurors.

As it is, “you don’t have any direction, you’re just putting all the evidence out

there and you’re going to let them figure it out and they can make up their own minds,” Crump said. “You know, it just boggles the mind why he thinks this is fair.”

If jurors meet Monday, there is no guarantee they’ll reach a decision that day, or even this week.

It’s not uncommon for de-liberations to take a while in complex cases when, such as in the Brown shooting, self-defense is alleged or there are two widely con-flicting versions, according to Cole County Prosecutor Mark Richardson, who is not involved in the Fergu-son case.

Sunday would have been an opportune time to min-imize disruptions from pro-tests, since schools and gov-ernments are planning on only a partial holiday work-week, Washington Univer-sity law professor Peter Joy said, but that Monday or Tuesday would still make

sense.But “my belief is that

with the holiday, releasing it on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday would produce a negative reaction,” Joy said.

During Sunday’s church services, some pastors en-couraged their flocks not to fret. The Rev. Freddy Clark of Shalom Church in Floris-sant told the mostly black interdenominational con-gregation that “justice will be served” no matter the decision goes, because God will take care of it.

Meanwhile, daily protests have continued and there is speculation that the delays are intentional.

“People feel like it’s been engineered, so that the re-sults wouldn’t come out until after the election and until the weather got cold, and it would be more diffi-cult to protest,” said Susan McGraugh, supervisor of the Criminal Defense Clinic at the Saint Louis Universi-ty School of Law. “It’s really adding fuel to the fire.”

Protester in Ferguson

Bedford’s Malson agrees to plea deal By BAILEY POOLMANCNA staff [email protected]

BEDFORD — Zachary J. Curtis Malson, 24, of Bedford was found guilty of two counts of willful in-jury, assault while participating in a felony and going armed with intent Nov. 18 pursuant to a plea agree-ment.

According to a Taylor County Attorney’s Office press release, the charge of first-de-gree murder originally against Zachary will be dismissed after the expiration of the period of time Malson has to appeal the convic-tions.

Originally, Zachary and his mother, Cindy Lou Malson, 47, were both charged with first-de-gree murder in the death of Cin-dy’s husband Steven C. Malson, 56, both of Bedford.

According to a Taylor County Sheriff report, Taylor County Sheriff received a 911 call April 23 indicating a shooting had occurred at 1509 Bent St., Bedford, as the result of an attempted suicide. The victim, Steven Malson, suffering from what ap-peared to be a single gunshot wound to the head, was flown to a hospital in St. Joseph, Mo., where he died.

According to court documents, Cindy provided in-formation putting her in the room with Steven and Zachary, all fighting over a gun. She provided informa-tion to investigators stating Zachary was responsible for intentionally firing the fatal shot. Another family member said she was present when Zachary confessed to the shooting later that evening. Zachary has changed his story multiple times as to what happened.

Also according to court documents, during an inter-view with Zachary, he provided information stating Cindy was responsible for intentionally shooting the fatal shot. Cindy has also changed her story, each time not matching evidence at the scene.

Charges against Cindy Malson were dropped in Au-gust.

Zachary was sentenced to serve an indeterminate prison term not to exceed 25 years. Also, he was or-dered to pay fines, surcharges, victim restitution, jail fees, attorney fees and court costs.

The investigation was conducted by Taylor County Sheriff’s Office and Iowa Division of Criminal Inves-tigation.

Malson� Sentenced to a prison term not to exceed 25 years.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Researchers say envi-ronmental regulations have slowed the growth of large hog farms and helped some smaller ones survive.

Two agricultural econo-mists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln looked at how environmental regula-tions have shaped the indus-try in the top ten hog-pro-ducing states.

A number of federal and state laws allow small hog farms with fewer than 2,500 animals to be exempt from rules that require manure storage plans and permits.

Also, zoning restrictions won’t allow large hog farms in many locations where small hog farms can operate.

One of the researchers, Azzeddine Azzam, said the smaller hog farms benefit by not having the expenses of all those restrictions.

“For regulators who are concerned about both envi-ronmental quality and the protection of small family farms, environmental regu-lation does not seem to ad-

versely affect the viability of such operations,” Azzam and the other researchers wrote.

Azzam and Karina Scho-engold both work at UNL, and a third author, Gibson Nene of the University of Minnesota-Duluth, helped with the article.

The researchers said the number of small hog farms has declined 61 percent be-tween 1976 and 2005, but without those kind of rules, the decline would have been greater.

The number of large hog farms jumped 95 percent over the same period. The researchers said the increase would have likely been larg-er without the environmen-tal regulations.

Buffalo area preps for melt BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP)

— People in storm-socked areas around Buffalo be-gan returning to work on Monday as fast-melting mounds of snow fed into creeks that were starting to swell.

It was not clear how widespread flooding would be almost a week after western New York was pummeled by epic snowfall. Thermometer readings were approach-ing 60 degrees by mid-morning, and some resi-dents of the Buffalo area were out and about in T-shirts riding bicycles while others focused on the tasks at hand.

David Fruehauf, 71, was out early clearing leaves from a storm drain in front of his house in suburban Orchard Park.

“These are the ene-mies of a sewer,” Frue-hauf said, staring down at leaves surrounding the drain. There’s still a long ways to go. The stuff is shrinking, but it’s got to have a place to go.”

Families rushed to pack up their valuables and schools closed in advance — not of snow but possi-ble flooding.

Temperatures were expected to hit nearly 60 degrees, causing Buffalo area residents to prepare for evacuations caused by runoff from melting snow, and overflowing creeks.

“Hopefully, the rain won’t be here until lat-er and this will be a slow thaw, but flooding is our major, major concern here,” said Michelle Piku-la, whose house is along

the Buffalo Creek.The National Weather

Service said rain overnight into Monday amounted to about one-tenth of an inch across the areas that had received the heaviest snowfall. Forecasts call for rain showers on Mon-day and a chance of rain and snow showers by ear-ly Tuesday.

The NWS has issued a flood warning for Mon-day and cautioned that trees weakened by heavy snowfall and saturated soil could come crashing down. High wind gusts of up to 60 mph also could topple electrical wires and trigger power outages.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Sunday warned resi-dents in flood-prone areas around Buffalo to move

valuables up from the basement, pack a bag and prepare for the possibility of evacuation.

“Err on the side of caution,” Cuomo said at a news conference in Cheektowaga. “You pre-pare for the worst and hope for the best, and that’s what we’re doing.”

Most snow-affected school districts remain closed Monday, and at least four called off class-es for the entire Thanks-giving week.

In Hamburg, Pete Yeskoot bought a por-table generator to make sure his sump pump will keep working once the roughly 80 inches of snow that fell on his property melts. Possessions are up on blocks in the basement

and he has food for sever-al days.

“Behind us is an 18-mile creek so everything in the village will come through us at some point, so we have to get ready for the possibility of flooding,” he said. “And given all this snow, we have to ex-pect that this is real.”

National Guard mem-bers spent Sunday clear-ing storm drains and cul-verts to facilitate runoff, and shoveling snow off roofs.

Cuomo said evacuation plans and emergency shel-ters were being readied in case of flooding. As a backup to Red Cross shel-ters, Cuomo said the state would have shelters at community colleges and state university campuses.

AP photo by CAROLYN THOMPSONA sign marks the location of a snow-covered sewer drain and fire hydrant along McKinley Parkway in Buffalo, N.Y., today. With temperatures approaching 60 degrees Monday, following more than 7 feet of snow in spots last week, the region is bracing for possible flooding.

Dems regroup after midterm DES MOINES (AP) —

After a bruising midterm election where they lost a competitive U.S. Senate race and emerged with just one of four congressional seats, Iowa Democrats are trying to regroup and look forward.

The recent results mean Iowa will no longer have a congressional delegation evenly divided between Democrats and Repub-licans. The retirement of longtime Sen. Tom Harkin creates a leadership void at the top of the party. And despite a signifi-cant voter outreach ef-fort, many Democrats stayed home this year, suggesting the party’s message was lacking.

“I don’t think peo-ple were fired up about our ticket,” said state Sen. Janet Peterson, a Democrat from Des Moines, who added

that the millions of dollars spent on negative advertis-ing didn’t help either. “It depressed turnout so badly that people that could have voted at their kitchen table didn’t fill out the ballot.”

Democrats did maintain a control by a narrow mar-gin in the Iowa Senate, while Republicans increased their majority in the Iowa House. The legislative victory was the main bright spot for the party on an otherwise grim night.

“Having looked at the

wave that swept Democrat-ic parties across the country, we didn’t do as badly as a lot of places,” said Iowa Democratic Party chairman Scott Brennan. The party is now focused on rebuilding. Brennan is nearing the end of his term and a new leader will be elected in early 2015. That person will be expect-ed to lead through the 2016 caucuses and pres-idential election. Demo-crats said the organizing required during the year before the caucuses will

be good for party morale.“That will help rebuild

our precinct by precinct organization,” said Demo-cratic strategist Jeff Link, an adviser to failed Senate candidate Bruce Braley. “It will energize Democrats and the nice thing is that it gets started after the first of the year.”

PR INTED WITH

Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Today you might feel discour-aged about financial matters, especially shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt. Others will not be generous with you today. Bummer.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is not an ideal day to have important discussions with partners and close friends, because people are pessimistic and critical. Who needs this? Certainly not you!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Someone older might be crit-ical of you at work. Just grin and bear it, and do not react. Do not give this situation more fuel and energy. Life is just hard today.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The responsibilities of children will be a tad onerous today for some reason. Just accept what-ever the situation is, because these things happen. Romance also is discouraging.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Family discussions will not be easy today, because an author-ity figure, probably a male, might set down rules and regu-lations. Some kind of limitation cannot be avoided today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) It’s easy to fall into worry mode today. But remember that old saying: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your financial scene seems dis-couraging today. Why is there always so much month left at the end of the money? Just muddle through as best you can.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Whatever you do today, you will take your task at hand very seriously. You don’t feel frivolous about anything. But your powers of concentration are excellent!

S A G I T T A R I U S (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is an excellent day for research. You will be consistent,

persevering and conscientious. Furthermore, you will not over-look details. Use your excellent concentration to accomplish a lot.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Someone older or more experienced might have advice for you today, but it might dis-courage you, because you feel it limits your future options. (This is just a possibility.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) In discussion with author-ity figures today — bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police — be polite and listen. Basically, you have no choice. (Never underestimate the power of courtesy.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Although some aspects of today are discouraging, this is actually an excellent day to study. You will find that you can focus on whatever is in front of you.

YOU BORN TODAY You like

your solitude and prefer work-ing alone; nevertheless, you are often attached to one per-son. You are driven to succeed, and you work hard. Go slowly this year. There is something important to learn. The first half of this year will seem slow; but soon, your efforts of the past six years will start to show results! Get out into nature this year.

Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUNDOFF, about cart returns in store parking lots:

“While it’s awfully consid-erate of businesses to reserve handicapped parking close to the store, why don’t they place cart returns close to the handicapped spaces? Instead, they expect us to walk half-way across the parking lot or all the way back to the store to return the cart.” — W.E., Harrisonburg, Va.

Now that you mention it, I have noticed that. It might be because they think that peo-ple using those spots also may be helped out to their car, and that the store employee help-ing them would return the cart. Talk to a store manager — maybe if enough people speak up, things will change. — Heloise

FAST FACTSDear Readers: Here are

other uses for old fleece blan-kets:

* Place on a pet’s favorite sleeping spot.

* Cut and make into small blankets for dolls.

* Make into a scarf.* Keep in a car for cold

days.* Wrap it around backpack

straps for comfort.— HeloiseSILVERWARE MARKSDear Heloise: I bought

some very old, beautiful table-ware at an estate sale, and the pieces have metal marks from silverware all over. I am hop-ing that you have a solution to remove them. We always en-joy your advice. — Carol A., via email

Carol, what a great find! Here’s what to try on your wonderful dishes: Make a thick paste of baking soda and water, and rub it in a circular motion gently over the marks. Because these may be vintage plates, test a small section first to see if this might cause dam-age. Let sit 30 minutes, then rinse off. Baking soda is some-thing you always should keep on hand. It is safe, cheap and so useful! To find out what else I use it for, order my pamphlet Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes. To receive, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope

to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. FYI: If the marks don’t come off this way, try a metal polish, which might re-move the scratches. And even if they don’t come off, enjoy your find! Those little marks show that someone used these dishes and hopefully enjoyed them, too. — Heloise

SWIMSUIT CHOICESDear Heloise: You were

right-on when telling swim-mers how to wear and care for swimsuits. I have been a swim-ming teacher for more than 26 years, and have found that a suit made with polyester much outwears those of nylon. — Carol T., via email

Wow, so many wrote in with the same hint — thanks to all! Keep swimming along! — Heloise

PRETEND PLAYDear Heloise: Hallow-

een has passed, but here is my hint for next year: My two young boys love to play dress-up. Unfortunately, it is hard to find costumes for boys year-round. I buy multi-ple costumes when they come out around Halloween. — A Mom in Kentucky

Ice brings early end to 2014 shipping season MINNEAPOLIS (AP) —

Icy conditions have forced an early end to shipping on the Upper Mississippi Riv-er.

The shipping season offi-cially closed Thursday with the towboat Mary K. Cavar-ra and its load of four barg-es heading south through Lock & Dam No. 2 at Hast-ings, Minnesota.

It’s the earliest closing in 45 years, the Star Tri-bune reported. The season began last spring with the second-latest opening and came to a 26-day halt in midsummer so crews could

clear flood-borne silt from the navigation channel.

“It’s been a real challeng-ing year for us,” said Bob Zelenka, executive director of the Minnesota Grain and Feed Association, which represents about 550 grain elevators and feed mills across the state.

The river is the cheap-est way of moving crops, Zelenka said. But the riv-er’s early closure means finding alternative ways to get those crops to New Orleans and foreign export markets.

For shippers, it’s been a

full seven months of trying to play catch-up, and now it’s over too soon, said Lee Nelson, president of Upper River Services Inc. in St. Paul, which moves barges between river terminals. Besides grain, the river is a key conduit for commod-ities such as cement, road salt and fertilizer.

“With the year we’ve had, everyone was hoping for as much time as possi-ble,” Nelson said.

Ice measured at nearly 3 feet thick on Lake Pe-pin delayed the start of the season until April 16. That

was followed by late floods that deposited millions of tons of silt around Waba-sha and Winona, halting river traffic until the silt could be dredged.

Bryan Peterson, naviga-tion manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said ice is now at a thick-ness not usually seen until December, and the tow-boats are working their way through, but it’s a slow process. A coming thaw could bring relief.

“Mother Nature is dic-tating everything,” Peter-son said.

Police seize nearly 9 pounds of pot DUBUQUE (AP) — Iowa

authorities seized nearly nine pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop near Dubuque this weekend.

The Dubuque County Sherriff’s office says the drugs were found after a vehicle with North Dakota plates was stopped on Highway 151 Sat-urday afternoon.

The vehicle was initially stopped for an equipment

violation before authorities found 8.95 pounds of marijua-na inside.

The Colorado man who was driving was arrested on suspicion of drug possession with the intent to deliver and failure to pay Iowa’s drug tax stamp. He was not immedi-ately identified.

Authorities said the man was being held on $10,000 bond.

On Nov. 8, the Volunteer Center of Southern Iowa (VCSI) participated in its sec-ond home winter weatheriza-tion day, which took place in Union, Decatur and Clarke counties. Volunteers covered windows with plastic and installed gaskets and door sweeps in homes in Afton, Creston, Leon, Lamoni, Os-ceola, Murray and Van Wert.

Teams of volunteers led by Emily Uhlenkamp are trav-eling around southern Iowa helping residents prepare for winter.

“I really enjoy organizing this project because it gives me a chance to help commu-nity members prepare their homes for the winter,” said Uhlenkamp, weatherization program manager. “I am

happy to know the burden of staying warm will be light-ened for some people because of our service.”

VCSI encourages all Iowa residents to assess their homes and take measures toward energy reduction. Weather stripping, door sweeps, caulk, gaskets and plastic can help keep ener-gy wasting drafts out of your home. You can check your own home for drafts using a candle or by feeling for drafts with your hands. It is best to prepare your home in the fall on a warmer day since some products won’t stick when the temperature gets below 50 degrees. Don’t wait too long to weatherize your home and start saving on those heating bills.

One Direction, Iggy Azalea shine at 2014 AMAs (AP) — One Direction

won three honors at the American Music Awards, including artist of the year over powerhouse acts like Beyonce and Luke Bryan, while breakthrough new-comer Iggy Azalea beat out heavyweights Eminem and Drake in the rap categories.

Katy Perry, who was ab-sent from Sunday’s awards show because of her world tour, matched One Direc-tion for most wins with three.

The boy band won also won favorite band, duo or group — pop/rock and fa-vorite album — pop/rock for “Midnight Memories” at the fan-voted show.

“This has been a real per-fect day ... America feels like a second home to us,” said Liam Payne of One Direc-tion.

The group released its new album, “Four,” last week.

Taylor Swift kicked off the AMAs as a mad woman

and man eater by feeding a boy a poisonous apple, hold-ing burning roses and giving crazy eyes during a perfor-mance of her new number one hit song, “Blank Space,” about her dating life accord-ing to the media.

She later received the first-ever Dick Clark Award for Excellence, presented by Diana Ross.

“To the fans who went out and bought over a million copies of my last three al-bums, what you did by going out and investing in music and albums is you’re say-ing you believe in the same thing I believe in — that mu-sic is valuable and that mu-sic should be consumed in albums and albums should be consumed as art and ap-preciated,” said Swift, who recently removed her music from streaming service Spo-tify.

Brantley Gilbert, who won favorite album — coun-

try for “Just as I Am,” is on the same label as Swift, Big Machine Records. He also removed his music from Spotify, but declined to dis-cuss the topic when asked about it backstage.

Azalea, who was the top nominee with six, performed twice: She hit the stage first for “Fancy” and new single “Beg for It,” later return-ing to close the show with a steamy Jennifer Lopez for their collaboration, “Boo-ty.”

Azalea won favorite al-bum — rap/hip-hop for “The New Classic” and favorite artist — rap/hip-hop.

“It means so much that I

can stand here against Em-inem and Drake and come out with this,” said Azalea.

Australian boy band 5 Seconds of Summer won new artist of the year, beat-ing out Azalea, Sam Smith, Meghan Trainor and Bas-tille. They also performed a cover of the Romantics’ “What I Like About You.”

“Being from Sydney, you never think you’re going to win an American Music Award, so it’s the coolest thing ever to us,” said Ash-ton Irwin of 5 Seconds of Summer.

The soundtrack for “Fro-zen,” the year’s top-selling album, won top soundtrack.

Cowboys rallyEAST RUTHER-

FORD, N.J. — For awe-someness, Odell Beck-ham Jr.’s catch couldn’t be topped.

For timely rallies, Tony Romo and Dez Bry-ant trumped it.The Cow-boys momentarily might have been in awe of Beck-ham’s one-handed stab as he fell backward into the end zone while he was interfered with by cor-nerback Brandon Carr. When it came to making the critical plays to beat the New York Giants on Sunday night, though, Dallas had all it needed in Romo and Bryant.

Romo threw two touch-down passes to Bryant, the winner from 13 yards with 1:01 remaining, lifting the Cowboys to a comeback 31-28 victory.

Romo threw for two TDs in the third quarter and Barry Church’s in-terception helped turn things in the Cowboys’ favor. But the Giants (3-8), trailing 24-21, staged a 93-yard drive capped by Adrien Robinson’s first career TD catch. That 1-yard score with 3 min-utes remaining could have snapped New York’s slide that now is at six losses.7 in a row

F O X B O R O U G H , Mass. — The New En-gland Patriots showed off their passing game one week after a brilliant rush-ing performance.

The outcome was the same: a blowout win over a top team.

Throw in a defense that held the Detroit Li-ons without a touchdown and two outstanding special teams plays, and the team with the AFC’s best record rolled over the team with the NFL’s stingiest defense, 34-9 on Sunday, for their seventh straight win.

Brady threw for 349 yards and two touch-downs exactly 14 years after his pro debut in an-other 34-9 game against the Lions. In that Thanks-giving meeting, the rookie was a late-game replace-ment for Drew Bledsoe in Detroit’s win.

On Sunday, LeGar-rette Blount rushed for 78 yards and two short scores and the Patriots improved to 44-3 in their last 47 reg-ular-season home games.Seahawks win

SEATTLE — After 10 games, the defending champions needed to ask the difficult questions of each other. Most of all, whether the Seattle Sea-hawks were willing to put aside egos and get back in the NFC West race.

Led by a stingy Seattle defense reminiscent of a season ago and some more playmaking by Rus-sell Wilson, the Seahawks handed the Arizona Car-dinals their second loss of the season, 19-3 on Sun-day.

Seattle won for the fourth time in five games, putting aside the missed chances from last week’s loss in Kansas City and announcing the Seahawks aren’t done by knocking off the league-leading Cardinals.

Panther runners praised for competitive seasonThree veterans represented Creston at state

By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

Coach Pat Schlapia said his 39-strong Creston cross country team answered the challenge set before the 2014 season began.

“Our motto was — ‘Don’t Look Back! We Moved For-ward!’ — and by that we meant we had an outstand-ing season in 2013, but we were not going to take any-thing for granted and be-lieve that was good enough,” S c h l a p i a said at the t e a m ’ s a w a r d s b a n q u e t S u n d a y evening at the Cres-ton High School commons.

Creston was coming off a season that ended a 25-year drought of the boys team qualifying for state, as well as Cooper McDermott, Jay Wolfe and Maria Mostek all becoming individual state qualifiers.

Those three matched that with another trip to state this fall, and all improved their times on the state meet course at Lakeside Munic-ipal Golf Course near Fort Dodge.

Also, both teams showed tremendous internal compe-tition in practice for varsity spots all year behind those three state qualifiers.

There wasn’t a team trip to state this year, but there were accomplishments,

Schlapia noted.“We challenged them to

take a chance, to go out and test themselves,” said Schla-pia, who worked with assis-tant coach Gary O’Daniels again this season.

As a team, Creston fin-ished in the top half in each varsity meet in both boys and girls competition.

The girls won two meets and took second place in three meets before placing fourth in the Hawkeye 10 meet and sixth at the State Qualifying Meet. The team championships were at Wayne of Corydon and Ori-ent-Macksburg. The Wayne

meet was added to the schedule after the early-sea-son Dallas Center-Grimes meet was cancelled because of weather.

Also, the Perry meet was cancelled. The team planned to replace that with a meet at Shenandoah, which was also cancelled.

The boys team placed sec-ond in three meets at Win-terset, O-M and Nodaway Valley while taking third at Wayne, fifth in the Hawk-eye 10 meet and sixth at the State Qualifying Meet.

Schlapia said there was keep competition for varsi-ty positions throughout the

season.“In the boys we had our

top two all year in Cooper and Jay, but in third through eighth there was a lot of shifting,” Schlapia said. “Same with the girls. Ma-ria was our number one all the way through, but at two through 10 it seemed like there was a lot of shifting around. That was good. No-body’s spot was safe. They were going after each other in good, friendly competi-tion because they wanted those spots.”

The program has quali-fied 18 individuals for state in the last 15 years, besides

the boys team last year (the last girls team qualification was 1992), and Schlapia said the tradition will continue through off-season work and big dreams.

“We gave a poster to our three state qualifiers before the state meet that said, ‘Dream it, Believe it, Achieve it.’ If you want to do it, you first have to dream it,” Schlapia said. “Then you have to believe it, and go out and work to achieve it.”

He referred to Mostek as “the queen of Creston cross

Spartans hang on for 67-64 road victoryBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

BEATRICE, Neb. — The Southwestern men overcame a hot start by Southeast (Neb.) Com-munity College and held on during a tight finish to claim a 67-64 victory Sat-urday.

It was the closest win of a 6-0 start this season by the Spartans, despite holding a 46-34 lead in the second half.

“We went through a huge drought, and they cut it two and then one with a minute to go and we had the ball,” related Spartan coach Todd Lorensen. “We turned it over, there was a mad scramble for a loose ball. We dove on it and a timeout was called with nine seconds to go. We in-bounded the ball and they

tried to jump us, we made a pass and threw to Josh Kirk at the 3-point line, and he went in and scored to put us up three with 1.5 seconds left.”

Southeast called timeout, advanced the ball to half-court, and called another timeout to inbound the ball with .7 of a second left. A desperation 3-point shot on the catch was off the mark, sending the Spartans home with the three-point victo-ry.

“We were a little loose with the ball and we shot it poorly,” Lorensen said, “but to the guys’ credit, they found a way to over-come that and get a road win. We made enough timely shots to keep them at bay.”

Southwestern trailed by six points early in the first half before rallying to take a 37-30 halftime lead.

TJ Bower led Southwest-ern (6-0) with 14 points,

a l o n g w i t h five re-b o u n d s , f o u r a s s i s t s and two b l o c k e d s h o t s . Kirk add-ed 12 points and a team-high six assists. Jok Kut had a team-high eight re-bounds.

There is free admission as a Thanksgiving holiday gesture by Southwestern for the 7 p.m. home game Wednesday against a trav-eling club team, Adelaide Australia.

The Spartans are also home 3 p.m. Saturday in what will be the return of former Spartan coach Jer-ry Drymon, in his first year as coach of Central (Neb.) Community College team

Slow start sinks Spartan womenBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

BEATRICE, Neb. — Slow starts have plagued the Southwestern women’s basketball all season, and that was the case again here Saturday in a 71-47 loss to Southeast Community Col-lege.

“Unfortunately, kind of the same M.O. of my team right now, we just keep getting out to slow starts against everybody we play,” head coach Addae Houston said. “We had a couple of turnovers early on that led to them getting easy buck-ets. It seemed like we were still asleep on the bus. Those slow starts are really killing

me.”Southeast’s fullcourt press

defense frustrated South-western early, as the Storm built an early lead.

The Spartans finally be-gan to get some flow offen-sively late in the half, but couldn’t find an answer for Southeast’s offensive attack.

The Storm held a 40-20 lead at halftime.

Things went much better for the Spartans in the sec-ond half, but the deficit was too much to overcome.

“There was definitely some improvement,” Hous-ton said. “We started to penetrate their defense. We were getting into the lane.

Iowa State loses to Texas Tech 34-31 on late TDAP

AMES, Iowa (AP) — For want of one defensive stop, Iowa State is still winless in the Big 12.

Iowa State led by four points late in the game, but couldn’t hold off Texas Tech one last time and lost 34-31 on Saturday.

Freshman Patrick Ma-homes took the Red Raid-ers on a 75-yard drive that he finished with a 44-yard touchdown pass to Williams with 4:07 left.

“We had a lot of oppor-tunities to finish the game,” ISU cornerback Nigel Tri-bune said. “That’s one thing we’ve kind of struggled with this year. We haven’t fin-ished games.”

With the loss the Cyclones (2-8, 0-7 Big 12) face the prospect of a winless confer-

ence season. They play host to potent West Virginia next Saturday and finish the sea-son at No. 5 TCU on Dec. 6.

It was the third narrow loss this season for Iowa State, which lost those three games by a total of 10 points. This latest was no more difficult to swallow than the others, Tribune said.

“All of them are tough,” he said. “Losses within four points, yeah, it’s pretty tough.”

Mahomes finished with 328 passing yards and four touchdowns in all, including an 82-yarder to Devin Lau-derdale that put Tech up 27-24 late in the third quarter. It was the longest play of the season for the Red Raiders (4-7, 2-6 Big 12).

Iowa State regained the lead at 31-27 on Aaron Wim-berly’s 3-yard touchdown

run early the fourth quarter, but missed a chance to ex-tend the margin when Cole Netten’s 42-yard field goal attempt hooked left.

Tech then marched 75 yards in seven plays for the game-winner, which came when Mahomes found Wil-liams all alone in the right flat and the 228-pounder rambled untouched to the end zone.

The Red Raiders also burned the Cyclones with DeAndre Washington’s 72-yard touchdown run and Williams’ 44-yard run on a fake punt.

“Way too many big plays given up in this football game for us to have a chance to win,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said.

We were getting some close shots in the lane and getting some good dribble penetra-tion and kick outs for good looks.”

Southwestern played much closer in the second half, as Southeast had just a 31-27 advantage in the sec-ond half.

Olivia Reifert posted a dou-b l e - d o u -ble for the Spartans , scoring a team-high 11 points and grab-bing 12 rebounds. S a ’ L i s a Bruce added 11 points with

three steals. Sabrina Foun-tain netted eight points with four rebounds and four as-sists.

The Spartans outre-bounded Southeast for the game, including 22 offensive rebounds.

“That really helped us in the second half,” Houston said. “Those second chance opportunities, getting to the basket — all of those things helped us to finish a better half. Defensively, we played a lot better to start the sec-ond half.”

Southwestern, now 0-7 for the season, returns to action Wednesday at Iowa West-ern.

“We’re going to play a really good Iowa Western team,” Houston said. “It’s going to be a challenge for

us. What I hope for us to do is to go out and be ready to compete right at the start and compete for 40 min-utes. We’ve yet to do that one game all year. That’s what I’m looking for. Win or lose, I really want us to put a game together.”

Iowa State drove into Tech territory after Williams’ touchdown but gave up the ball on downs when quarter-back Sam Richardson was stopped just short of convert-ing at the Red Raiders’ 31.

“We had a chance to close it out and couldn’t get it done,” Rhoads said. “That’s offense and defense. One more drive, one more stop — we couldn’t get it.”

It was a back-and-forth game and that came as no sur-prise, given that the league’s two worst defenses were on the field.

Washington rushed for a career-high 181 yards in 18 carries and got the Red Raid-

ers on the scoreboard first when he turned a screen pass from Mahomes into a 26-yard touchdown that included a slew of missed tackles.

Mahomes, who started for the third straight game in place of the injured Davis Webb (ankle), completed 23 of 35 passes with one intercep-tion. His other TD pass was a 13-yarder to Lauderdale after the Red Raiders fooled the Cyclones with their fake punt.

On fourth-and-4 from Tech’s 42, the snap went to Williams and he bolted straight up the middle for 44 yards through the surprised defense. Mahomes rolled right on the next play and found Lauderdale in the back of the end zone for a touch-

down and the Red Raiders had the momentum after that.

“We were actually in a call to defend a fake they had shown earlier this year to the edge and they went up the middle instead,” Rhoads said. “They executed very well, ob-viously.”

Richardson went 24 of 38 for 304 yards and two TDs, while Wimberly rushed for 102 yards and scored twice. But the defense couldn’t hold up and Tech finished with 600 total yards.

It also didn’t help that the usually reliable Netten missed two of three field goal at-tempts. He kicked a 22-yarder to give ISU at 17-14 halftime lead.

country” for becoming the first female individual state qualifier in school history, and just the second overall after 1988 graduate Paul Hoff in four boys state meets.

Mostek’s highest individ-ual rank during the season was 21st. She placed 33rd at state, improving her 2013 state time by 18 seconds.

Wolfe and McDermott were called “Red Thunder” in making their second and third appearances at state, respectively. Wolfe was ranked as high as 11th, and placed 16th at state with a 50-second improvement from the previous year, when he placed 71st.

McDermott, a qualifier for Newton as a freshman and Creston last year, was ranked as high as eighth this year and ended up 13th at state with a 38-second im-provement in his state time.

McDermott tied his own school record by winning six meets this year — Wayne of Corydon, Winterset, Cres-ton, Orient-Macksburg, Nodaway Valley and the Hawkeye 10 meet.

It was his second con-ference championship — matching Scott Vicker in 2005 and 2006 — and as a junior he has a chance to set the record with a third title in 2015.

“Cooper stepped it up even more from last year, when he was our new kid on the block,” Schlapia said. “People were out to get

Cooper and Jay this year, and they responded with outstanding seasons. And what can I say about Maria? She is the queen of Creston cross country.”

There were a total of 27 letterwinners honored Sun-day night. Schlapia noted that nine of the 10 seniors were products of the mid-dle school cross country program, with six years of participation in the sport overall.

Seniors Kyle Jennett, Raegen Smith, Mostek and Wolfe shared the Chris Wyatt Award, an honor in memory of a former Panther runner who lost his life in an auto accident. Kayla Luther and Caitlin McIlravy were given the Brandon Gale Me-morial Manager Award.

Mostek and Wolfe were nominated and invited to participate in the Iowa Track Coaches Assoicai-tion Senior All-Star Meet. Schlapia said Hawkeye 10 Academic Awards have not been announced yet.

Adair County 4-H names outstanding members GREENFIELD — McK-

enna Davenport and Mer-ritt Caviness were named the Outstanding Senior 4-H members during the Adair County 4-H Awards Day program.

Davenport is the daughter of Derek and Beth Daven-port of Adair. Her work in communication, citizenship and leadership all speak to her commitment to be her very best at all times. During her 4-H career, Dav-enport held every office in the Summit Super Stars 4-H Club, was a member of 4-H youth council and Adair County Youth Action Committee, and was a four-year member of Iowa Cam-era Corps. Davenport has earned state project awards in photography and child development project areas and was a delegate to Na-tional 4-H Congress. She is a freshman at Northwestern College.

Caviness is the son of Randy and Janalee Cavi-ness of Greenfield. He has shared his leadership skills and love of farming and agriculture as a four-year member of the Speak Out for Agriculture planning committee. He has provided excellent leadership skills by working with fellow club members on group projects, helping with robotics day camps and serving as pres-ident of the Adair County Hot Shots. Caviness has earned the state Science, Engineering, and Technol-ogy project award. Commu-nity service is important to him as he plans to continue to volunteer with local activ-ities.

Outstanding intermedi-ate honors went to Sadie Marnin, Summerset Citi-zens member; Skyler Raw-lings, Adair County Hot Shots member; and Halee Wallace, member of the Richland Royals.

Marnin is the daughter of Allen and Susan Marnin of Greenfield. She enjoys working with fellow club members and is an excellent

role model for the younger members of her 4-H club. She provides leadership as a member of the county fair Clothing Event Committee as clothing and fashion are her favorite project areas.

Rawlings is the son of Sieanna Rawlings of Green-field. Skyler feels good when he is helping others whether it be a fellow club member or a total stranger. Communication project ar-eas are important to Raw-lings as he participates in working exhibits and educa-tional presentations at both the county and state fair. He attended State 4-H Confer-ence last summer and took another step in communica-tion by participating in the conference choir.

Marnin and Rawlings are members of the Adair County 4-H Youth Council.

Halee Wallace, daughter of Doug and Julie Wallace of Creston, was excited about each of her projects

this year. She exhibited in the clothing event and an-imal science, health, food and nutrition, photography, home improvement, and self-determined project ar-eas. She enjoyed doing a working exhibit and Share the Fun skit at the state fair with fellow club members. Swine and sheep round out her projects. She broke her lambs to lead and was excit-ed to see her younger broth-ers love of livestock as they had fun helping her walk the lambs.

Paisley Kintigh, member of Summerset Citizens, and Riley Abbott, member of the Jefferson Pioneers, were named Outstanding Junior 4-H’ers.

Kintigh, daughter of Nick and Bethany Kintigh of Greenfield, has been a tremendous leader for the club’s Res-Q-Tube proj-ect. She has broadened her communication skills by giv-ing presentations to the fire

chiefs of Adair County, seed representatives and insur-ance groups explaining the project and asking for their support. She has learned that a project of this scale has a long timeline, but her efforts have been well worth the end result of securing a Res-Q-Tube to be available for use by first responders and fire departments in the local area. She especially enjoys working with her cat-tle at the farm and showing them at county fair.

Abbott, son of Bryan and Amy Abbott of Dexter, en-joys showing his rabbits at county fair and last summer exhibited an insect collec-tion he had created. Attend-ing Southwest Iowa Junior 4-H Camp for two years was a memorable experience for Riley. He enjoys meeting new friends and has become a better citizen by taking pride in his community and helping fellow club mem-bers with service projects.
