OSCEOLA — Weeks after the devastating fire at Osceo-la Farm & Home, the losses keep adding up.

Ty Wheeler, Osceola city administrator/clerk, report-ed the fire department’s gear became saturated with chem-icals and oils while combat-ing the fire. He said the gear was sent to be cleaned in Minneapo-lis, Minn., but the damage was too great. The gear is reportedly ruined.

“Those chemicals can’t be extracted out of the equip-ment ... they just couldn’t be cleaned,” Wheeler said.

The fire at Osceola Farm & Home began approxi-mately 5:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 26. No injuries were re-ported with the fire, which is fortunate since the inferno was severe enough to have eight area fire departments respond to the call for mutu-

al aid.Those eight departments

were Murray, Creston, Woodburn, Weldon, Osceo-la, Truro, New Virginia and Leon.

The farm and home build-ing, which also housed a tire shop, was considered a total loss after the fire.

Jeff Edwards, owner of the long-standing Osceola busi-ness, said they will rebuild the store.Losses

As for Osceola Volunteer Fire Department, the cost of buying new gear could be as high as $40,000, or more.

According to Osceola Fire Chief Mike Fry, the oil prod-ucts from items in the build-ing got into the hoses, coats and pants of the volunteer firefighters.

Wheeler said it’s all classi-fied as “bunker gear.”

The gear Osceola fire-fighters were wearing at the scene of the farm and home fire was only a year old.

Fry said, of the 18 “new-er” sets of fire gear, 12 sets were ruined while fighting the flames.

Fortunately, the fire de-partment has an older set

of gear firefighters can use when responding to emer-gency calls. However, there is a slight catch to the old gear situation.Too old

Fry said the backup equip-ment firefighters have to wear now is from 2001, which puts it at 13 years old.

“The gear’s only good for 10 years,” Fry said. “It starts to lose it’s integrity. It may still look good, but it’s not rec-ommended for structural fire-fighting.”

Basically, the old gear that has to be used now is out of code.

There is also the unfortu-nate fact that winter provides some of the greatest risks for structural fires, and the cold and snow weather has already arrived in November.

“This is house fire sea-son,” Fry said.Replacements

According to Wheeler, the city is working on a quote and getting bids out for the new equipment that needs to be purchased.

“We have to replace the gear,” he said. “We can’t op-erate long term with the old gear because there is a life

span on that stuff.”Wheeler said, if quotes

are in by December, it could take a few months for the gear to make its way to Os-ceola, putting an arrival date of late winter or early spring.

However, the situation could be hastened along.

Fry said, in the process of talking with different equipment suppliers, the gear could be shipped more quickly since the fire depart-ment has come into an un-foreseen situation. It might be possible to put a rush on the shipment.

“We’ll get by for now,” Wheeler said.

Black Friday slows as allure fades

NEW YORK (AP) — Black Friday fa-tigue is setting in.

Early discounting, more online shopping and a mixed economy meant fewer people shopped over Thanksgiving weekend, the National Retail Federation said Sunday.

Overall, 133.7 million people shopped in stores and online over the four-day weekend, down 5.2 percent from last year, according to a survey of 4,631 people con-ducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics for the trade group.

Total spending for the weekend is ex-pected to fall 11 percent to $50.9 billion from an estimated $57.4 billion last year, the trade group estimated.

Part of the reason is that Target, J.C.

Cyber Monday getting online shoppers hyped

Congress cramming agenda into final days WASHINGTON (AP) —

Lame-duck lawmakers return to Washington on Monday facing a stacked agenda and not much time to get it all done before the new Congress convenes in January and a Republican takeover is com-plete.

Their to-do list includes keeping the government running into the new year, renewing expired tax breaks for individuals and busi-nesses and approving a defense policy measure that has passed for more than 50 years in a row. They hope to get it all done in two weeks without stumbling into a

government shutdown.Also pending are President

Barack Obama’s requests for money to combat Islamic State militants, battle Ebola and deal with an influx of unaccompanied Central American children who have crossed into the U.S.

Among the lower profile items on the agenda are renewing the

government’s terrorism risk insur-ance program and extending the ban on state and federal taxes on access to the Internet.

Obama’s move to protect mil-lions of immigrants from deporta-tion proceedings and make them eligible for work permits appears to have made it more difficult to navigate the must-do items

through a Capitol where coopera-tion already is in short supply.

The No. 1 item is preventing a government closure when a tem-porary funding measure expires on Dec. 11. The House and Sen-ate Appropriations committees are negotiating a $1 trillion-plus spending bill for the budget year that began Oct. 1 and are promis-ing to have it ready by the week of Dec. 8.

The tax-writing committees are trying to renew a bundle of ex-pired tax breaks such as the deduc-tions for state and local sales taxes and the research and experimenta-

tion credit. Some, like tax credits for renewable energy projects such as wind farms, are a hard sell for GOP conservatives but are eager-ly sought by Midwestern Republi-cans such as Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa.

The House has passed legisla-tion that would make several of the tax breaks permanent; the Senate’s approach has been to ex-tend them only for 2014 and 2015. Negotiators appeared close to an agreement last week only to have

NEW YORK (AP) — After a busy holi-day weekend in shopping malls, millions of Americans are expected to log on and keep shopping on the day dubbed Cyber Monday.

That day, the Monday after Thanksgiving, has been the biggest online shopping day of the year since 2010. The day could take on added importance after a Thanksgiving weekend that saw fewer shoppers and lower spending than last year, according to some estimates.

Editor’s note: This fea-ture did not appear last week because no newspaper was published on Nov. 27 (Thanksgiving Day). There-fore, we are running the con-tent in today’s paper.

Today is Dec. 1, the 335th day of the year. There are 30 days left in 2014. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Nov. 24-30) in his-tory.5 years ago

U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, toured Precision Optical Group, Ringgold County Hospital in Mount Ayr and Precision Pulley & Idler in Lenox to see progress made at each business, new additions and everyday operations.

Fall enrollment at Io-wa’s 15 community col-leges topped 100,000 for the first time ever in 2009, according to a report is-sued by the state Depart-ment of Education. The 100,736 students who were enrolled on the 14th day of the semester represent-ed a 14.3 percent increase – the fastest growth rate since 1975 — and marked the highest student popu-lation in the 43-year his-tory of Iowa’s community college system. In 2008, the state’s community colleges enrolled 88,104 students.

Projections called for en-rollment for the 2010-11 school year to increase by about 3.5 percent based on current conditions, accord-ing to the report.10 years ago

In the datebook – On Nov. 24, 1963, Jack Ruby shot and mortally wounded Lee Harvey Oswald, the ac-

cused assassin of President Kennedy, in a scene cap-tured on live television.

Clay Daggett and Ben Dorothy, eighth-grade stu-dents at Burton R. Jones Middle School, participat-ed in Opus Honor Choir at Iowa State University cam-pus in Ames. Both were selected to the boys honor

choir. Daggett was a solo fi-nalists and sang in two small groups that performed along with the boys choir.

Wayne Pantini was hired as Union County Develop-ment Association executive director. Pantini came to Creston after working three years as district director of Mid-America Council of the Boy Scouts of America in Red Oak. Union County was part of his jurisdiction.20 years ago

National Retailers As-sociation predicted a 6 to 8 percent increase in busi-ness during the Christmas shopping season. Popular items at Creston Walmart were associated with Pow-er Rangers or electronic games with Nintendo and Sega systems.

The declining populari-ty of carbon zinc batteries forced Eveready Battery Co. to shutdown the plant in Red Oak – the only car-bon zinc manufacturing plant. Nearly 300 employ-ees were put out of work within 18 months. The fac-tory was Red Oak’s highest paying employer with an annual payroll exceeding $7 million.

The 1994 Christmas Bas-ket Fund included a mitten drive to collect new mit-tens, scarves and stocking caps for needy children in Union County.

Retailers have been push-ing deals all month and particularly the past week, hoping to spur customers to spend. That may have taken away some spending from Thanksgiving weekend.

Research firm comScore expects people to spend about $2.5 billion on Cyber Monday.

There’s reason to think a lot of dollars are migrating online.

PayPal said its global mo-bile payment volume jumped 47 percent on Thanksgiv-ing Day compared with last year. Wal-Mart said it had more than 500 million page views on Thanksgiving, and eBay says it sold 2,000 iPad Air 2 tablets for $399 at a rate of one a second.

Amazon has been offer-ing special deals since Nov. 21, adding new discounts as often as every 10 min-utes for eight days straight. Deals include up to 45 per-cent off some Samsung TVs and 28 percent off Beats by Dre headphones, selling for $275.

Wal-Mart said it has dou-bled its Cyber Week deals to 500 compared with last year, including up to half off some TVs, tablets and toys with free-shipping offers.

Toys R Us is offering on-line deals for 11 days that began the Wednesday be-fore Thanksgiving, and also has free-shipping offers. Cy-berdeals include $15 off Dis-ney “Frozen” Princess dolls that are regularly $50 and $20 off a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battroborg Electronic Battle Game that is usually $80.

The name “Cyber Mon-day” was coined in 2005 by the National Retail Feder-ation’s online arm, Shop.org, to encourage people to shop online. After retailers revved up deals for the day,

it became the busiest online shopping day in 2010. The name was also a nod to on-line shopping being done at work, where faster con-nections made it easier to browse, less of a factor now.

Cyber Monday comes af-ter a weekend that saw 5.3 percent fewer shoppers and 11 percent less spending, ac-cording to estimates by the National Retail Federation.

“Online is nowhere near its maturity, so Cyber Mon-day should be big, with a lot of strength in the days leading up to it,” Forester Research analyst Sucharita Mulpuru said. “More con-sumers are spending more shopping dollars online.”

She expects two spikes in online shopping: one during the long Thanksgiving week-end, including Cyber Mon-day, and one later in Decem-ber when shipping deadlines to get items by Christmas start to hit.

Research firm comScore expects online sales to rise 16 percent to $61 billion during the November and December shopping season, up 16 percent from last year. ComScore tracks U.S. on-line sales based on observed behavior of a representative U.S. consumer panel of 2 million Web users.

The National Retail Fed-eration has forecast overall holiday sales will increase 4.1 percent to $616.9 billion in 2014.

Even shoppers who braved the stores over the weekend weren’t shy about how much they like shop-ping online.

Jennifer Donaldson, a 47-year-old property man-ager, dropped in at Macy’s at New York City’s Fulton Street Mall on Sunday, al-though she usually does her shopping online.

“It’s crowded, and people are rude,” she said of stores.

the White House put it on ice with a veto threat. The administration said an emerging plan by House Republicans and top Sen-ate Democrats was tilted too far in favor of business-es.

The president’s author-ity to arm and train mod-erate Syrian rebels to fight Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria expires Dec. 11. Lawmakers probably will renew it while post-poning action until 2015 on a broader, new authoriza-tion to use military force.

Obama also is request-ing more than $5 billion to pay for sending additional noncombat troops and mu-nitions to Iraq and cover

other military and intelli-gence costs associated with fighting the militants. He wants $6.2 billion to tackle Ebola at its source in West Africa and to secure the U.S. against any possible outbreak. Also pending is a $3.7 billion request to address the immigrant chil-dren.

Legislation to renew the government’s terrorism risk insurance program, which expires at year’s end, is eagerly sought by the construction, real es-tate and hospitality busi-nesses. But negotiations between the chairman of the House Financial Ser-vices Committee, GOP Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, and Senate Dem-ocrats, including Charles

Schumer of New York, ap-pear to have stalled. The program serves as a back-stop in the event of a ter-rorist act that causes more than $100 million in losses.

The annual defense au-thorization bill has passed every year for more than five decades, and the chair-men of the House and Sen-ate Armed Services com-mittees are eager to avoid breaking the streak. Rep. Howard “Buck” McKe-on, R-Calif., and Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., are both retiring after long tenures in Congress. Negotiators remain at odds over the Pentagon’s cost-saving proposals to trim military benefits.

Facing diminished bud-gets, three defense secre-

taries — Robert Gates, Leon Panetta and Chuck Hagel — have said the cost of personnel benefits have become unsustainable and threaten the Pentagon’s ability to prepare the mili-tary for fighting a war. Mil-itary pay and benefits ac-count for the largest share of the budget, $167.2 bil-lion out of $495.6 billion.

The Defense Depart-ment has proposed a slight increase in pharmacy co-payments and a gradual reduction in the basic al-lowance for housing, from 100 percent for off-base housing costs to 94 per-cent.

The Senate Armed Ser-vices Committee endorsed the cuts, but the House committee rejected them.

CONGRESS:


Penney, Macy’s, Wal-Mart and other major retailers pushed fat discounts as early as Halloween. Some opened stores even earlier on Thanksgiving. All that stole some thunder from Black Friday and the rest of the weekend.

Still, the preliminary data makes retailers worried that shoppers remain frugal despite improving employ-ment and falling gas prices.

Matt Shay, the trade group’s CEO, said he thinks people benefiting from the recovery may not feel the need to fight crowds to get

the deepest discount on a TV or toaster. And those who feel like the recession never ended may not have the money and will stretch out what they spend through Christmas. And shoppers are still feeling the effects of high food prices and stag-nant wages.

“While they’re more op-timistic, they’re very cau-tious,” Shay said. “If the deals are not right for them, they’re not going to spend.”

Bottom line: Expect more deep discounts, all season long.

“Every day will be Black Friday. Every minute will be Cyber Monday,” he said.

That could be what it takes to get shoppers to open their wallets for the holiday shop-ping season, which accounts for about 20 percent of an-nual retail sales.

Besides economic factors,

people are becoming more discerning when they shop. Armed with smartphones and price-comparison apps, they know what’s a good deal — and what’s not.

Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about talking too fast on answering machines:

“I have an answering ma-chine and can’t tell you how many times I have received an important call with a message to call back a number. Because they know the number, they say it quickly and mumble, and there are times I have played it several times and still can’t get it right. Please slow down and speak the numbers distinctly.” — Connie, via email

What? I can’t understand your message. This is a repeat-ed Heloise Sound Off! Hey, folks, take a few seconds to say the number slowly and repeat it at the end of the message! — Heloise

Watt

Missing playerCOLUMBUS, Ohio

— The body of miss-ing Ohio State defensive lineman Kosta Kara-george was found by Co-lumbus police on Sunday after a search that started after he went missing on Wednesday.

Karageorge, 22, was found dead in a dumpster of an apparent self-inflict-ed gunshot wound. He was identified by tattoos at the scene, and a police spokesman said the inves-tigation would continue with both the dumpster and the body of Kara-george being transported to the county morgue.

“At this time, there’s a lot of questions that we’re still trying to work out,” Sgt. Rich Weiner told re-porters at the scene. “But he was found inside of the dumpster, the handgun was found inside of the dumpster with him.”

A police report says Karageorge’s mother told authorities he has had concussions and spells of confusion. She said he tex-ted a message Wednesday citing the concussions and saying he was sorry if he was “an embarrassment.”Pack holds on

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers made trademark pinpoint pass-es. Eddie Lacy powered out tough yards on the ground. The defense held firm in a frantic fourth quarter.

This could be one super combination for the Green Bay Packers.

Rodgers threw for 368 yards and two touch-downs, and Green Bay fended off the New En-gland Patriots 26-21 Sunday in a high-profile matchup between Super Bowl contenders.

He bested Tom Brady in the first meeting between the star quarter-backs as starters. They were the main attractions in a down-to-the-wire thriller.

Leading by five, the defense made a late stand for the Packers (9-3). With Green Bay back in zone coverage, Mike Dan-iels and Mike Neal com-bined to sack Brady on third down for a 9-yard loss, and kicker Stephen Gostkowski pushed a 47-yard field-goal attempt wide right with 2:40 left.Broncos win

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Peyton Manning and the Denver Bron-cos proved their mas-tery of the Kansas City Chiefs once more on a chilly Sunday night at Ar-rowhead Stadium.

Manning threw two touchdown passes, re-cently signed Connor Barth was perfect on five field-goal attempts and the Broncos rolled to a 29-16 victory, their sixth straight over Kansas City and one that kept them alone in first place in the AFC West.

Barth matched the franchise record for field goals in a game set twice by Jason Elam. C.J. An-derson added 168 yards rushing with a 15-yard touchdown catch, and De-maryius Thomas also had a TD grab to help the Broncos (9-3) remain a game up on San Diego in the division.

Panther wrestlers gear up for Tuesday’s season openerBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

With a total of five wres-tlers with state tournament experience and four others having made it to districts last year, the Creston/Ori-ent-Macksburg wrestling team appears to be set for another strong campaign.

And even though the Panthers have already suf-fered a setback, head coach Darrell Frain still feels con-fident in his team going into Tuesday’s season-opening quad at Nodaway Valley (5:30 p.m.), and moving for-ward throughout the season.Shiltz out

Sophomore Chase Shiltz, who fin-ished run-n e r - u p in Class 2A at 145 p o u n d s last year, came into the season harboring hopes of a state championship run this year.

But Frain is moving for-ward this year under the impression Shiltz will not wrestle after undergoing surgery this week for a torn meniscus suffered in Cres-ton/O-M’s dramatic 50-49 overtime win over Dallas Center-Grimes in the state football quarterfinals.

“He could possibly be in the lineup down the road, but we’re planning that he won’t be,” Frain said. “If he is, it’ll make us really, really good. We’ll just see where we’re at down the road.”

Even without Shiltz, Frain believes his team has what it takes to compete at a high level. But adding Shiltz to the mix takes the Panthers to another level.

“I feel good confer-ence-wise and everything, but if you want to compete at the state level, you have to have a state champi-onship caliber kid in your lineup,” he said. “I actual-ly feel like we might have three, maybe four kids that have that ability, but he’s already been there. If you have a Chase Shiltz in your lineup, you can do a lot of moving around to get to the weakness of other teams.”

Quality depthPart of the reason for

Frain’s confidence is the amount of quality depth his team has in the middle and upper weights.

Even without Shiltz in the mix, there are seven strong options vying for three spots in the middle weights.

“Somebody really good is probably going to be out of the lineup come tournament time,” Frain said. “There’s going to be a lot of competi-tion in those middle weights and hopefully everything works out best for all the kids.”

Among that group is ju-nior Joey Huntington, a

returning state qual-ifier from a year ago, and junior W y a t t T h o m p -son, a state qual-ifier in 2013. Junior Cam Leith has given the Panthers solid matches at the varsity level in the past, as have seniors Spencer Wray and Tyler Helm. Also in the mix are junior Darrian Fisher and senior Tyler Helm.

From that group of sev-en athletes, three will fill spots at 138 pounds, 145 pounds and 152 pounds.

“Somewhere along the line, someone is going to end up the odd man out,” Frain said. “It will be in-teresting to see how it all shakes out. Having qual-ity, you feel pretty good about how they’re going to compete against most people we face. Hopefully we can spread it out a little and fill out some holes we have on the other ends of those (weights).”

Returning state qualifier Tayler Pettit certified at 160 pounds, and is likely to wrestle at 170 pounds for

Mostek, Murray’s Barber earn all-state honors

By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

Creston’s Natalie Mostek and Murray’s Hannah Bar-ber each received all-state recognition last week after stellar senior volleyball cam-paigns.

Mostek earned honorable mention in Class 4A on the Iowa Girls Coaches Associ-ation’s all-state teams, while Barber was named to the second team in Class 1A.

Creston head coach Polly Luther said it’s a great hon-or for Mostek and also re-flects on the type of season the 20-8 Panthers had this year.

“She definitely proved her worth out on the court every single night she stepped out there,” Luther said. “I’ve said it before, it takes six of us on the court. For her to get where she needs to be, it takes a couple more people touching the ball to get it to her. It’s a great honor and I’m thrilled for her.”

Mostek proved to be an all-around weapon for the Panthers this year. The 5-10 hitter led the team with 283 kills for 3.49 kills per set av-erage. She registered nearly double the amount of kills that junior Jenna Taylor, who ranked second on the team, had with 146.

“Her front row play for us speaks for itself,” Luther said.

She recorded 93 total blocks for the season, aver-aging 1.15 blocks per set.

“Our conference is so tough and a lot of games we walked into, that’s who they were going to hone in on and try to shut down,” Lu-ther said. “Very few nights did they shut down Natalie. She could run shorts and run outside and run inside and middle. She could do it

from wherever we needed her to.”

In addition to leading the team at the net, Mostek also served 93.6 percent with 21 aces, while ranking second on the team with 136 digs for an average of 1.62 digs per set.

It was her ability to do anything and everything on the court that made her so valuable to the Panthers this year.

“She’s so versatile,” Lu-ther said. “She can do ab-solutely everything out there. Her athletic ability is through the roof. She can jump, she can dive. What-

ever you need her to do, she can do it. It’s hard to say enough about her, because she is such a great athlete in the whole spectrum — not just volleyball, but in bas-ketball and track. Her skills are tremendous.”

By receiving all-state rec-ognition, Mostek sets an ex-ample for future generations of Panther players of what hard work can bring.

“I definitely think it’s something for kids to shoot for,” Luther said. “I guess I can’t remember the last time

Bo Pelini fired after 7seasons with CornhuskersBy ERIC OLSONAP College Football Writer

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The number of wins and losses didn’t get Bo Pelini fired. It was the way some of those losses happened.

Pelini was dismissed as Nebraska’s coach Sunday after a seven-year stint marked by an inability to restore the football team to national prominence and too many embarrassing de-feats.

Pelini extended his streak of w i n n i n g at least n i n e g a m e s e v e r y s e a s o n with a 3 7 - 3 4 overtime win at Iowa on Friday, but he never won a conference championship and his teams lost four games in every season he complet-ed. Pelini was 66-27 and led the Cornhuskers to three league champion-ship games in the Big 12 and Big Ten.

“I didn’t see enough im-provement in areas that were important for us to move forward to play c h a m p i o n s h i p - c a l i b e r football,” athletic director Shawn Eichorst said at a news conference.

“We just, for whatev-er reason, weren’t good enough in the games that mattered against cham-pionship-caliber oppo-nents. And I didn’t see that changing. It wasn’t a lack of effort by him or his staff or our wonderful players, but I think new leadership was in order.”

Associate head coach Barney Cotton, a Nebras-ka alum, will be the in-

terim head coach for the Cornhuskers’ bowl game.

Pelini was under con-tract through February 2019. Eichorst said the university will owe him a settlement of about $7.9 million, which can be re-duced once he lands an-other job.

Asked for comment on Sunday’s developments, Pelini wrote in a text to The Associated Press: “I’m good. Thanks for asking!”

Eichorst said he alone would conduct the search for a new coach. He gave no timetable for naming a replacement.

Nebraska joins Flori-da as a high-profile pro-gram with a coaching va-cancy, and others could arise soon. Eichorst said he wasn’t worried about competing with other schools.

“Resources are not the question here at Ne-braska,” he said. “That doesn’t mean we’re not going to be responsible and good stewards of our resources. I’ve seen peo-ple spend a lot of mon-ey and not do very much winning, so we’re going to get it right.”

Eichorst said his deci-sion to fire Pelini “crys-talized” Saturday night. Eichorst said he met in his office for 20 minutes with Pelini on Sunday morning and their conversation was “cordial and profes-sional.”

“After I told him that we were going a different direction,” Eichorst said, “I think there was agree-ment that that probably was a good idea.”

A number of players ex-pressed disappointment in

Spartan men improve to 8-0 By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

The Southwestern men’s basketball team picked up a pair of home wins over the Thanksgiving break, improving to 8-0 for the sea-son.

The Spartans scored an 86-65 win over Adelaide Australia on Wednesday and then defeated Central Nebraska Community Col-lege on Saturday by a score of 92-50.

Head coach Todd Lo-rensen said Wednesday’s game didn’t go quite as well as he would have liked, but was glad to get the win.

“In the end, it was all fine and well,” he said. “I didn’t think we competed as well as I would have liked for the entire game. With the Thanksgiving break, it’s hard to keep focus.”

The Spartans shot 50.8 percent from the field, but turned the ball over 16 times in the victory. Starting point guard Ahmad Newsome did not play because of illness.

Josh Kirk led the Spartans with 15 points off the bench on 6-of-9 s h o o t i n g to go with eight re-b o u n d s . M a t a i k a K o y a -mainavure added 12 points, while Mar-quise Yarbrough scored 11 off the bench. Dylan Mason scored 10 points. TJ Bower pulled down six rebounds and scored seven points.

“A lot of guys got an op-portunity to play,” Lorensen said. “Our bench actually gave us a little more juice than our starting five did.”

Lorensen said he liked

Saturday’s effort better, as the Spartans came out with more energy on both ends of the floor.

Jok Kut and Newsome s p a r k e d the Spar-tans with their play on the d e f e n -sive end, as Kut g r a b b e d a total of eight re-bounds to lead the team, w h i l e Newsome col lected four steals and dished out eight assists.

J a y l o n Smith and Kirk each scored a game-high 16 points, while Koyamainavure added 15.

“I thought Ahmad and Jok really set the tone de-fensively for us,” Lorensen said. “The other three guys did a nice job offensively. Those numbers are coming off about 18 or 20 minutes of playing time as opposed to the normal 30 or 33, had it been a closer ballgame.”

The Spartans have a tough stretch coming up over the next 17 days lead-ing into the holiday break, as they play seven games over those 17 days, with five of those games on the road.

Southwestern returns to action tonight at Grand View against the JV team, before traveling to North Central Missouri on Wednesday.

During that 17-day stretch, the Spartans also travel to Division I Mar-shalltown Community College and Iowa Western

Community College.“They both played a lot

of high quality opponents early in the season and have both been success-ful,” Lorensen said. “That will give us a good mea-suring stick for where we are.”

the Panthers.Creston/O-M’s other re-

turning placewinner from last year’s state meet is junior Seth Maitlen at 195 pounds.

Maitlen highlights a group of strong wrestlers in the u p p e r w e i g h t s . S o p h -o m o r e K a d o n H u l e t t was a dis-trict quali-fier last year, wrestling up to 220 pounds.

“Those final three at 195, 220 and heavyweight, I ful-ly expect all three of those guys showing a lot this year,” Frain said. “Kadon wrestled 220 last year and basically was a 182-pounder. Him and Seth will wrestle off for that spot and they’ll choose between 220 and 195. I have a lot of heavyweights. It will

be interesting to see how that all works out.”

Senior Jake Gutschen-ritter picked up victories over several state qualifiers last year, but was ineligible to compete at tournament time. In his stead, Cody Tan-ner stepped up and scored solid wins for the Panthers, including a victory at state duals over a wrestler who was one match away from placing in the traditional tournament.

Freshmen Trevor Down-ing and Blake Sevier, along with junior Zach Hoffman provide depth at the heavy-weight spot for the Panthers.Lower weights

The big question marks for the Panthers will come in the lower weights. But, Frain still has options at those weight classes.

Three wrestlers certified at 106 pounds, which pro-vides some flexibility in the Panther lineup.

“Right now at 106, you’ve got to think (sophomore) Jacob Goodson will prob-

ably be there,” Frain said. “But you’ve got (freshmen) Cade Vicker and Kelby Lu-ther, who both look good in the room, so I feel really confident about whoever ends up there. One of those guys, even though they’re small, could bump up and wrestler 113 for us.”

Sophomores Carson Wheat and Trevor Marlin both certified at 113 and will start the year filling that weight class. Marlin could also bump up to 120 pounds.

“Those three weight class-es are really inexperienced,” Frain said. “But I feel com-fortable they’ll compete re-ally well for us.”

Brody Frain certified at 120 pounds, but both he and coach Frain hope he can establish himself at 126 pounds and compete there. Freshman Mitchel Swank certified at 126, but could emerge at 132 pounds.

“The unknown is Mitchel Swank,” Frain said. “Qual-ity kid. He’s wrestled in our youth program before,

grew up in Mount Ayr. He decided to come here and play f o o t b a l l and wres-tle for us. I feel really good about where he’ll end up. I think he’ll surprise a lot of kids at 132.”

Another import from Mount Ayr this year comes in the form of new assistant coach Eric Ehlen, who spent the past 18 years as Mount Ayr’s head coach.

“He’s extremely pos-itive,” Frain said. “That might be the biggest thing we bring. Sometimes as a coach I’ll get after them and I’ll do things, not negative-ly, but I’ll get after them. He’s right there to pat them on the back when I’m done yelling at them. It’s been a blessing to have someone like him in our room just to counteract some of the things we do. The kids like

him a lot.”Ehlen’s presence in the

wrestling room adds a sec-ond former Iowa Hawkeye wrestler on the coaching staff.

“We have Mario Gala-nakis still coming into the room and now Eric in there, you have two quality Hawk-eye wrestlers,” Frain said. “That’s in the glory days of the Hawkeyes. It brings a lot to the room, just the knowl-edge, the experiences, all the things they can add.”

the decision, with quarter-back Tommy Armstrong Jr. tweeting, “Biggest mis-take you ever made.... Bo was the best coach I’ve ever had and I’ll always appreciate the things you taught me.”

Pelini brought the Husk-ers out of the depths of the failed four-year Bill Calla-han experiment that ended in 2007. But his four-loss-es-a-year habit and fre-quent losses on the nation-al stage wore on a fan base that has filled Memorial Stadium for every home game since 1962.

Nebraska ranks fourth in career victories and has won five national champi-onships, including three in the four years before Tom Osborne retired as coach after the 1997 season. The dominant run in the mid-1990s has been an alba-tross for the coaches who followed — first Frank So-

lich and then Callahan and Pelini.

Bad losses started to haunt Pelini after Nebras-ka moved to the Big Ten. The 70-31 pummeling by unranked Wisconsin in the 2012 conference cham-pionship game was the worst, followed closely by this year’s 59-24 throttling by the Badgers in a game in which Melvin Gordon ran for a then-FBS record 408 yards.

Nebraska, as a ranked team, lost seven games by 17 or more points since 2011. No other ranked team has lost so many games so lopsidedly over that span, according to STATS.

“There are standards and expectations at Ne-braska that are high both on and off the field and al-though we did win a bunch of games, we didn’t win the games that mattered the most, and I think we gave Coach ample time,

ample resources and ample support to get that done,” Eichorst said.

Eichorst indicated he wasn’t worried about the message he was sending by firing a coach who won 71 percent of his games. The dismissal was remi-niscent of the one in 2003, when then-athletic direc-tor Steve Pederson fired Solich after a 9-3 regular season and after Solich had won 75 percent of his games over six years.

Pelini drew detractors almost as much for his volatile temper as for his team’s performances in big games. He was reprimand-ed by chancellor Harvey Perlman for sideline melt-downs during a loss at Texas A&M in 2010. Last year, Pelini found himself in a storm after the website Deadspin released audio of Pelini’s profanity-laced ti-rade against what he called fair-weather fans and two newspaper writers.

Pelini had initially en-deared himself to Nebras-ka fans as defensive co-ordinator in 2003. After Solich was fired, Pelini was interim coach for the Huskers’ Alamo Bowl vic-tory over Michigan State. As he walked off the field in San Antonio, Husker fans chanted, “We want Bo!”

Callahan was hired in-stead, and Pelini took de-fensive coordinator jobs at Oklahoma and LSU, win-ning the 2007 national title with the Tigers.

Osborne, as athletic di-rector, picked Pelini to replace Callahan, saying an immediate defensive fix was needed.

After the Huskers shut out Arizona 33-0 in the 2009 Holiday Bowl, Pelini famously shouted, “Ne-braska’s back and we’re here to stay.”

The proclamation proved premature.

PELINI: Northern Iowa beats Richmond 55-50

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Seth Tuttle scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds on Sunday and Northern Iowa held off Richmond 55-50 to start a season 7-0 for the first time since 1963-64.

Tuttle has reached dou-ble-figure scoring in 24 con-secutive games.

Junior guard Wes Wash-pun scored 16 for the Pan-thers (7-0), including four 3-pointers.

Kendall Anthony led Richmond (2-3) with 12 points and Trey Davis had

11 points and 11 rebounds.Northern Iowa used a

10-2 run to lead 14-4, but Richmond pulled to within four points, 14-10, after a 3 by Terry Allen. Washpun hit a 3 at 3:14 and the Panthers led 30-15 at halftime.

The Spiders opened the second half with a 13-6 run and pulled to within four, 50-46, on a layup by Da-vis with 57 seconds to play. Matt Bohannon hit five free throws in the final 25 sec-onds to keep the Spiders at bay.

Monday, December 1, 2014


a Creston player got an all-state recognition. I think it says something about her, about the program and the team we had this year. She is very deserving of it.”Second-teamer

For Murray’s Barber, it marks the s e c o n d s t r a i g h t year she has re-c e i v e d a l l - s t a t e honors in volleyball.

In ad-dition to being named to the IGCA’s second team in Class 1A,

Barber also received first-team honors by the Des Moines Register. She was a third-teamer on last year’s IGCA all-state team.

“That’s a real big honor for her and our program,” Murray head coach Jerry Shields said. “We’ve had a couple of all-state kids in volleyball before, but not very many. It’s a big thrill for her and it’s definitely a big thing for us, too.”

Barber played in just 69 sets for the Lady Mustangs this year after suffering an ankle injury late in the sea-son. She still managed to register 301 kills to lead the team, averaging 4.36 kills per set.

She served 40 aces and ranked second on the team

with 141 digs to go with 32 total blocks, which ranked third on the team.

“She played all around for us,” Shields said. “Had over 300 kills this year and I think she was second on the team in digs playing back row. She’s a good all-around ath-lete. She’s going to go on to college and play volleyball, too. Wherever she goes on to play, I know she’ll do a good job.”

Shields said he saw the most improvement from Barber in her back row play and in serve receive.

“She’s one of our better serve receivers, too,” he said. “She put a lot of time in over the summer, playing club volleyball and getting kids to come in and play in

the gym over the summer. She’s definitely put a lot of time into the sport of vol-leyball, and it’s definitely shown over the last year.”

On a Murray team that featured several capable hitters, it was a luxury for Shields to have a player like Barber who his team could go to in pressure situations when it needed a point.

“She was always our go-to person,” Shields said. “When Madison (Gonseth) got hurt, just to show her all-around ability, she actually moved to the middle and did a really good job hitting from there, too. Just a really good all-around player. Has a good head on her shoul-ders and knows a lot about volleyball.”

Schultz looks ahead to serving as county attorney

DES MOINES (AP) — After four tumultuous years adamantly pursuing voter fraud and lobbying for voter iden-tification, Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz is preparing to leave office with no regrets and a determination to prose-cute criminals of another kind.

Schultz said he’s excited to return to the practice of law after winning easy victory in the Nov. 4 election for Madison County attorney.

He’ll take a cut in pay and have a much smaller staff as he prosecutes crimes in the county southwest of Des Moines with less than 16,000 resi-dents, but he said the job will keep him close to home and al-low him to continue public service.

“I learned a lot as secretary of state and I’m proud of my service here,” he said, sitting at his desk in the ornate of-fice at the Iowa Capitol. “I think just the experience I’ve had will just help me be a better public servant, especially on the local level.”

He leaves the office unable to get vot-er ID through the Legislature and with a controversial legacy, including lawsuits and harsh criticism that he tried to sup-press votes.

Schultz paid $250,000 over two years to investigate voter fraud cases that result-ed in election-related charges against 27 people. Critics including the American

Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, which says Schultz spent too much time and money pursuing cases of a small number of vot-ers who didn’t intend to break the law.

The ACLU sued Schultz in 2012 over a rule he passed that would have removed voters from registration rolls if they could not confirm their citizenship. A judge found state law does not authorize the secretary of state to cancel a voter’s registration based on citizenship ques-tions. Schultz has appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court, which hasn’t yet ruled.

“I truly believe that our system is built on having this trust in our elections and that voter ID and making sure that if you’re voting that you’re eligible to vote is an inherent part of that,” he said.

As he campaigned for county attor-ney, he faced doubters who accused him of not living in the county but staying in a house owned by his mother-in-law.

The truth, he said, is that his wife’s mother wanted to move from Washing-ton to Iowa to be nearer to her daughter and grandchildren. Schultz said he and his wife decided to pool resources with her mother and buy a home big enough for their growing family, which now in-cludes five children ranging in age from 12 to 1. His wife and her mother are listed on the deed.

They moved to Truro, a city of about 485 people 40 miles southwest of Des Moines, in March 2013 when he thought he’d likely run for re-election. Then U.S. Rep. Tom Latham made the surprise December 2013 announcement he would retire. Schultz decided the next month to run for Congress. That ended when the Republican Party in June chose David Young out of the crowded field of six candidates as the nominee. Schultz said he didn’t even know he’d be running for county attorney when he moved to Mad-ison County.

“People tried to make an issue of that. They would make fun and tease and they’d attack and say I moved there to run. The voters of Madison County saw that I was genuine,” he said.

He won the race with 61 percent of the vote, defeating Democrat Julie Bard-well-Forsyth, who had been county attor-ney for eight years.

She didn’t respond to messages seek-ing comment.

Schultz said he’s not looking beyond the county attorney job, which will in-clude prosecuting criminal cases includ-ing drug violations and domestic abuse.

“Quite frankly I’m a better lawyer than I am a politician, so I’m excited about getting into the courtroom and using those skills and being able to serve that community,” he said.

He didn’t deny that he might seek statewide office again.

“I’ve always been a big believer in term limits. I don’t expect to be county attor-ney forever. So when that time comes could I run for something else? I’m not going to say no,” he said. “I’ll be there at least four years and maybe more.”

Iowa communities consider merging school districts

HAMBURG (AP) — Two communities in south-west Iowa are asking resi-dents for approval to merge their school districts in re-sponse to years of dwindling student enrollment that has affected their budgets.

A special election will be held Tuesday to de-cide whether to merge the school districts in Hamburg and Farragut, located in Fremont County, the Coun-cil Bluffs Daily Nonpareil reported.

If approved, the commu-nities would work as the Nishnabotna Community School District. It would combine the debts, build-ings, assets and liabilities of the two current school dis-tricts.

The district would have a five-member school board made up of existing school board members from both sides.

The proposed school dis-trict would also have a com-bined enrollment of more than 300 students. That would help officials orga-nize more efficient spend-ing per student. The state recommends that school districts have around that amount of students in or-der to meet financial ob-

ligations, according to the newspaper.

“Enrollments in small districts across the state are declining,” said Farra-gut Superintendent Tom Hinrichs. “In some form or fashion, most small districts will face these issues in the near future.”

Both districts have held public meetings on the is-sue, and officials say inac-tion could lead to cuts of programs and personnel.

Still, if the measure fails, school district officials said they plan to continue work-ing together to jointly op-erate certain grade levels. They would also speak to the School Budget Review Committee to address any deficiencies and overspend-ing.

The Iowa Department of Education would also con-duct a separate review in February.

“The boards will need to make significant changes to how academic programs are provided in order to be financially viable and aca-demically viable in the eyes of the Department of Edu-cation and the School Bud-get Review Committee,” said Hamburg Superinten-dent Terry Kenealy.

A special election will be held Tuesday to decide whether to merge the school districts in Hamburg and Farragut, located in Fremont County, the Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil reported.
