Green Valley Park to close during special deer hunt

This coming weekend will be the annual spe-cial park deer hunt at Green Valley State Park. The campground will be closed for camping Fri-day through Sunday. The entire park will be closed to the general public for all activities Saturday and Sunday.

This will be the 11th year for the hunt, and it will operate like the past years’ hunts with 25 hunt-ers attempting to harvest up to 50 antlerless deer. The hunters are required to hunt with muzzleload-ers only.

The 25 hunters have al-ready registered and will be receiving two antler-less tags each, redeemable only during the special hunt at the designated ar-eas and specified dates.

To ensure a safe event, an extra five or six DNR staff will be on hand to patrol the park boundar-ies. And for the public’s safety, the park will be closed to the general pub-lic the two days during the hunt (Nov. 15-16). Green Valley will re-open to the public Monday.

“The muzzleloader-on-ly hunt in the fall helps keep the deer population in the park under control. We have had 10 successful

hunts and we are hoping this year’s hunt will go just as well as the past years,” said Park Ranger Alan Carr. “All of the hunt-ers must attend a special safety meeting before the hunt. We explain the rea-son for the hunt, discuss the rules and show them the park boundaries. We hope to harvest as close to 50 female deer as we can and do it in a safe and effi-cient manner.”

This has shown to be a

great management tool for state parks. Parks are attempting to maintain a balance in the deer herd. People want to see deer when they come to park, but there can’t have so many deer that they de-stroy their habitat and create a lot of crop dam-age for neighboring land-owners.

The hunt will probably

Snow could reduce corn harvest in Midwest DES MOINES (AP) — The

first snow of the season is never a welcome sight, but it’s partic-ularly bad news for farmers in a few states in the Upper Midwest where a significant portion of the corn crop remains in fields.

Parts of South Dakota already have received between 4 and 8 inches of snow, while some areas of Minnesota have seen 11 inches. Snow also has fallen in Michigan

— 2 to 4 inches.The National Weather Service

said Monday it expected at least 4 more inches of snow overnight in an area including South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and upper

Michigan.About 10 percent of the corn

crop remains to be harvested in Minnesota and 16 percent remains in South Dakota.

Most of the snow is likely to

track north of the significant corn-growing areas of Michigan and Wisconsin, said Brad Rippey, a meteorologist with the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture.

The corn can withstand the cold as temperatures drop below freez-ing, but deep snow could delay harvest.

“At this point it depends on how much snow actually comes in,” said Chad Hart, an agriculture

economist at Iowa State Universi-ty. “A foot of snow is hard to slog through and tractors might dig in and get stuck in mud. That could mean some delays.”

Farmers leaving corn in fields until the weather improves is not unheard of, but a harvest reduc-tion could come if ears of corn get

� Parts of South Dakota already received 4 to 8 inches of snow while areas of Minnesota have seen nearly one foot of snowfall.

remain an annual event. The research is showing that if you stop these hunts completely the deer popu-lation tends to go back up rather quickly.

The number of deer that are targeted for removal may change from year to year depending on the re-search.

The final decision is made by the depredation biologist.

“While we are allowed to harvest as many as 50 antlerless deer, the average harvest for the two day hunt has been about 38 deer each year for the past 10 years,” Carr said.

knocked from stalks or if the cornstalks themselves topple.

Mature corn can with-stand cold temperatures and remain in fields for prolonged periods, Rip-pey said. It may be suscep-tible to damage from wind, heavy snow and wildlife.

“In some ways, this is an advantage to producers in this year of record U.S. corn production, since leaving the corn in the field is an inexpensive way to dry the crop down with-

out paying to do so and helps to prevent an over-load of corn in storage,” he said.

The forecast of more snow was developing as the USDA released its monthly update Monday. The agency boosted the size of this year’s record soybean crop as farmers in several states report per-acre yields surpassing ear-lier expectations. The corn crop was reduced slightly but still will be a record.

Soybean farmers are now expected to harvest 3.96 billion bushels, up 31

million bushels from the October estimate. Fifteen states including Indiana, Missouri and South Dako-ta are expected to report records for the amount of soybeans grown per acre with the average yield at 47.5 bushels per acre.

Yields were boosted in six states including Illinois and Iowa.

Illlinois has the high-est yield expected with 56 bushels per acre.

The corn crop estimate was lowered slightly to 14.41 billion bushels, down 68 million bushels from

the October estimate. The adjustment was primarily due to lower yields than previously expected in six states including Iowa, Minnesota and Oklahoma. That dropped the nation-al average yield to 173.4 bushels per acre — still a record high — from the previously expected 174.2.

Still, 22 states including Nebraska anticipate re-cord corn yields.

Washington farmers are expected to post an aver-age statewide yield of 215 bushels per acre, and Illi-nois will average 200.

Europe to land first probe on comet BERLIN (AP) — How

do you land a spacecraft on a comet that is streaking by at 41,000 mph (66,000 kph)?

That’s a problem scientists have been grappling with for more than a decade as they prepare for one of the most audacious space adventures ever — the European Space Agency’s attempt to land a scientific probe on the giant ball of ice and dust known as 67P/Churyumov-Gerasi-menko.

They’ll find out Wednes-day whether their plan will work when the agency’s mission control center in Darmstadt, Germany, gives its unmanned Rosetta space probe the final go-ahead to drop a lander on the comet.

The event marks the climax of Rosetta’s de-cade-long journey to study the icy celestial bodies that have long fascinated human-ity. Scientists hope that the

data collected by Rosetta and its sidekick lander, Phi-lae, will provide insights into the origins of comets and other objects in the universe.

On Tuesday, the agen-cy announced that systems aboard the Philae lander had failed to switch on prop-erly at first. Fearing a cosmic calamity, scientists tried a reboot.

“The lander successfully powered up, and prepara-tions are now continuing as planned,” the agency said on its website.

The hitch demonstrates how much can still go wrong with the 1.3 billion euro ($1.62 billion) mission first conceived more than two decades ago.

Launched in 2004 after a year’s delay, the Roset-ta spacecraft had to swing around Earth three times — and once around Mars — to gain enough speed

to chase down the comet. After traveling 6.4 billion kilometers (4 billion miles), it pulled up alongside 67P in August.

Now Rosetta and the comet are flying in tandem at 41,000 mph between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, 500 million kilometers (311 million miles) from Earth. The vast distance means the European Space Agency has to rely on NASA’s Deep Space Network of giant ra-dio antennas to communi-cate with Rosetta.

Early Wednesday, Ro-setta will execute a series of complicated maneuvers to reach the optimum drop-off point. About 0835 GMT (3:35 a.m. EST), the lander will separate from the moth-er ship.

If anything goes wrong then, scientists will be pow-erless to do anything but watch. Since it takes more than 28 minutes for a com-mand to reach Rosetta, the lander has been pro-grammed to perform the touchdown autonomously.

Cody Walter to tour with college a cappella choir

PELLA — Afton native Cody Walter will perform across the Midwest with Central College’s a cappella choir. This 60-voice ensem-ble performed Nov. 7-9 at schools, churches and per-forming arts centers near Des Moines, and the group will make an extended Mid-west tour in May.

Director Mark Babcock, an associate professor of music, said tour performanc-es help the group to raise their artistic vision and serve as ambassadors of Central College.

“I am extremely proud of their professionalism, con-sistency and persistence this fall,” Babcock said.

READER POLL RESULTSHave you ever sold/purchased items on Creston Area Swap?

The gift of a permanent victory FISHTRAP HOLLOW, Miss.

— It’s been a beautiful fall day. I am healthy, reasonably intelligent, have good friends and a roof, albeit rusty, over my head. But I burrow, downcast, on my denim couch be-neath a tiger throw, wondering why I feel so terrible about two football games.

Auburn has lost to Texas. Ala-bama has beaten LSU in overtime. Separate but equal disasters.

It’s especially embarrassing be-cause a new friend from California has watched me watch the games, observing my descent into an abyss from which I won’t climb until at least next week’s games, if then. She doesn’t get it.

When I was an Auburn student, I went to a few games, felt the brush of a chrysanthemum corsage be-neath my chin, but I don’t remem-

ber structuring my life around foot-ball. But the older I get, the more college football matters. Why is that?

A football player of my vintage died of cancer last April. His name was David Langner, and in photos online he looked like any other ag-ing boomer, bespectacled and a lit-tle thick around the middle.

He wasn’t like any other mor-tal, however, and I and thou-sands of others witnessed the precious few minutes when he shook the shackles of normal-cy and became a god in cleats.

It was 1972, Legion Field, Bir-mingham, Ala. It was so cold my faux-fur maxi-coat actually made sense. When I spoke to my date, the words came out in visible puffs, like thought balloons in a cartoon strip. But there wasn’t much talk.

Auburn was trailing No. 2, un-beaten Alabama 16-3 with less than six minutes to play. Then Bama had to punt. Auburn player Bill Newton blocked that punt. Feisty, smallish David Langner returned the blocked ball 35 yards for an Auburn touchdown.

Alabama’s possession ended in another punt. Newton blocked it again. Langer ran it back again for another touchdown. It was a gridiron “Twilight Zone.” The game ended 17-16, but Auburn fans didn’t leave. We stayed in the stadium screaming, “Punt, Bama,

Punt” until we were hoarse and ex-hausted.

Langner’s son Brad is a friend of mine. He’s an intelligent, hand-some young man who introduced me to a couple of musicians I didn’t know and now love, James Mc-Murtry and Justin Towns Earle. I felt bad for Brad when his father died young. Oh, but what a legacy.I think David Langner fully un-derstood how much his long-ago performance mattered to so many of us, and how many times we’ve replayed that cold afternoon in our heads. I bet he did, too.

For those of us who were there, and many who weren’t, time hasn’t managed to obliterate 17-16. And it never will. There have been other spectacular wins — see Au-burn-Alabama last year -- but for my money none surpass Punt

Bama Punt. David Langner gave us something you don’t get often in life: a permanent victory.

So when Auburn loses, or Ala-bama wins — or both, as happened last week -- I’m down for a while, it is true. I pout, I pour, I pace the room and vow never to watch an-other stupid game. But I will. I’ll spend the fall Saturdays I have left looking for the euphoria that the endless, dangerous, overhyped game of college football affords ev-ery once in a rare while.

November is National Hospice Palliative Care Month From Taj Cassagrande, team director, Care Initiatives HospiceGreenfield

No one likes to think about death and dying, but it’s something everyone has to face eventually. There’s an incredible resource in this community that provides com-fort, dignity and respect to all those coping with a serious or life-lim-iting illness. It’s Care Initiatives Hospice.

November is National Hospice Palliative Care Month, a time to reach out to our community to raise awareness about the compas-sionate care that hospice and palli-ative care provide.

One of the most important mes-sages to help people understand is that hospice care helps patients and families focus on living. This specialized care and support helps make more meaningful moments happen for those facing end-of-life challenges.

The hospice team provides ex-

pert medical care to keep patients comfortable and able to enjoy time with loved ones. The hospice team answers questions, offers advice on what to expect, and helps families with the duties of being a caregiver. The team also provides emotional and spiritual support for the entire family.

Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid in most states, and by most insurance plans. Hospice care is provided in the home, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and long term care centers.

Hospice care is available to peo-ple of all ages, with any illness. Hospice professionals and trained volunteers will ask you what’s im-portant and listen to what you say. They make your wishes a priority.

If you or a loved one is facing a serious or life-limiting illness, the time to find out more about hos-pice and palliative care is right now.

Letter to the editor

Happy Tuesday, everybody, and God bless America.

The Discovery Channel will air a TV special featuring a man be-ing eaten alive by a giant anacon-da snake. He will wear a special snake-proof suit to protect him inside the snake’s stomach. If it works President Obama plans to borrow the suit for his State of the Union speech.

The Dallas Cowboys will play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sun-day at Wembley Stadium in Lon-don. It should all go without a hitch. In England they drink beer by the pints and they drive on the left side of the road, so for most of the NFL players, the only adjust-ment is the time change.

Osama bin Laden’s Navy SEAL killer defied the CIA Thursday and revealed himself as Rob O’Neill. The raid uncovered surprising intel. It revealed Osama bin Lad-en had fifty brothers and sisters which absolutely shocked O’Neill because he had no idea he’d just killed a fellow Catholic.

The Country Music Awards was telecast live from Nashville, Ten-nessee, Wednesday night and drew huge ratings for ABC. It contin-ued a theme week. For the second night in a row, Democrats had to sit at home and watch white guys in cowboy hats being declared the winner.

President Obama flies to Asia this week where he will attend

summits in Australia, Burma and China to discuss world trade and regional stability. There’s another reason why the president decided to go halfway around the world. If he goes any farther he starts com-ing back.

President Obama gave a Medal of Freedom to Civil War Union Army hero Alonzo Cushing Thursday. He added if it weren’t for Union heroes like Cushing he wouldn’t be president today. If he’d said that before Election Day, the Confederacy might have taken control of the U.S. Senate.

Speaker John Boehner and Sen-ator Mitch McConnell assured re-porters Thursday that Republicans will work with Democrats in Con-gress. There’s one great obstacle. If you think Congress got nothing done before, just watch their out-put now that pot’s legal in Wash-ington.

Democrats accused House Speaker John Boehner Friday of threatening President Obama with impeachment if Obama signs an executive order legalizing the sta-tus of illegal aliens. That’s com-pletely ridiculous. Boehner said the president was playing with fire, not with interns.

Harry Reid said he was dis-traught over the Tuesday mid-terms and Nancy Pelosi called it a dark day. Morale is low. Tues-day’s defeat was so embarrassing for Democrats that Charlie Sheen

is demanding that the Democratic Party remove the word Party as the team’s nickname.

Nacogdoches, Texas, hosted two conventions Saturday including the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan. It’s important not to get them mixed up. Signs at the local laundromats remind users not to mix white robes with brown shirts, because nobody’s intimidat-ed by taupe.

Michelle Obama was reported to be considering a political career of her own Wednesday and run-ning for the United States Senate in California in four years. It’s not likely once they look at the num-bers. Just think of all the starving students who’ll be old enough to vote by then.

Interpol warned that ISIS volun-teers from Europe are disguised as cruise ship passengers to get past Turkey into the Black Sea and Syria. There’s proof. Three recent cruises staged productions of Les Miserables for passengers. and not one cruise came home with the guillotine.

The Dutch Royal Palace in-stalled motion sensor lights to pre-vent people from urinating on it. It sits on a steep hill. Last night a troupe of circus midgets urinated on the palace wall and ran away, but the police were able to track them down by following the yellow brick road.

OPINIONOPINION

Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April

19) Today you are suddenly ambitious for power. Be care-ful, because this could compli-cate your relationship with a boss or anyone in a position of authority. Tread carefully.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Unexpected travel oppor-tunities might fall into your lap today. Similarly, chances to take a course or get fur-ther education might materi-alize suddenly. Your window of opportunity will be brief, so act fast.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Something unexpected might happen to shared property or an arrangement that you have with someone regarding debt or how to own something. This could complicate an inheri-tance or insurance situation.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Relations with partners and close friends are turbulent and unpredictable today. Anything can happen! If someone’s looking for a fight, run away. People are erratic and impul-sive today.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Interruptions and changes to your daily routine at work are likely today because of com-puter crashes, power outages, fire drills, canceled appoint-ments, staff shortages and equipment breakdowns. Yikes! Just cope as best you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is an accident-prone day for your children, so be vigi-lant. This also applies to those of you who are working with children or who have children in your care.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your home routine will be inter-rupted today, perhaps because small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Perhaps someone unexpected will knock on your door.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is an accident-prone day for you. Therefore, slow down, take

it easy and pay attention to everything you say and do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If shopping, count your change and keep your receipts today. Something unexpected with your finances, cash flow and possessions might occur.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You feel rebellious and restless today! This could be

because someone older is crit-ical of you. (You like to appear perfect in the eyes of others.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Something unexpected going on behind the scenes could catch you off-guard. This is why you feel restless today, as if you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Sporting events, games and all kinds of group efforts might have unexpected out-comes today. You feel com-petitive; yet something might

be beyond your control. Take it easy.

YOU BORN TODAY You are naturally seductive and allur-ing. You often are fortunate, and sometimes it seems you can work miracles! You will always appreciate beautiful surroundings. You will face a major decision this year. Save your money in the first half of this year and cut down on over-head expenses, because this will help you later in the year. Your integrity and patience will be tested.

Dear Readers: Many of you commented on GA-RAGE-DOOR OPENERS being stolen out of cars parked in driveways. Here are just a few of your hints:

Barbara S., via email, said: “It’s a good idea to disable the garage-door opener by locking it from the keypad, unplugging it or pulling the cord that dis-ables the motor, which makes manual opening the only op-tion. Also, engaging the man-ual lock that slides into the door track from the door it-self makes opening the garage door completely impossible.”

Pete in California wrote: “We have a shut-off switch on our garage-door opener (Hel-oise here: which is mounted on the wall), since we can’t remove built-in openers. It was very simple to install. I turn the garage door off every night or when we leave for va-cation.”

Marylin, via email, said: “There is a switch inside the garage, and it has an ‘on’ and ‘off’ button. During the night, we turn the door off.”

Good hints all around to stay safe! Take a look to see if the wall-mounted opener has a shut-off switch. Use it when necessary. — Heloise

PRICE PICTURE

Dear Heloise: I had to get price checks or corrections every time I visited a store or big-box retailer. This holds up the line. But now I cut out the middleman. I take a photo with my smartphone of the price tag (Heloise here: I am assum-ing it’s the tag on the shelf) of the items on sale, keeping the small numbers and date of sale in focus. I include the purchase item/display. I show the photo to the clerk, who confirms the date and inventory number on both the photo and the item. — Debi in Dallas

PROTECTIVE PONCHODear Heloise: I know I am

not the only one who colors his or her own hair. Here is my hint: Turn a 30-gallon trash bag into a hair-color (drips) poncho! Cut holes (or a slit) for your head and arms in the sealed end. Just slip into your poncho. Wipe off any color that gets onto the bag before slipping it off. — A Reader in New York

Children can use a kitchen

trash bag to make a smaller poncho for when doing arts and crafts, to protect clothing. — Heloise

BULGES BEGONEDear Heloise: I put on a

knit top the other day, and to my dismay, there were hang-er bulges at the shoulders! I grabbed a clean washcloth, dampened it and laid it on my shoulders while I put on my makeup. No more bulges, and I was good to go! — Esther F., via email

COLD PACKDear Heloise: My cold pack

is a bag of frozen veggies. In my case, it’s black-eyed peas, because I know I will never eat them. I label them with big let-ters for extra security. — Lois G., Mansfield, Texas

Good hint, but wait — you won’t eat them? I love black-eyed peas! What Southerner doesn’t? — Heloise

Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Anto-nio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to [email protected]. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

The Numbers Game

Palmer outTEMPE, Ariz. (AP)

— In his 12th NFL sea-son, Carson Palmer was having the time of his life.

A career of big num-bers but little team suc-cess was reborn in the desert, where the Ari-zona Cardinals, at 8-1, have the best record in the NFL.

Then on Sunday, as the 34-year-old quar-terback tried to evade a blitzing St. Louis Rams safety, he felt his left knee give way. Palmer knew immediately that his season was over.

Tests confirmed that it was a torn left ACL, the same knee he injured even more severely in a 2006 playoff game while with the Cincinnati Ben-gals. The injury came two days after he signed a three-year contract extension worth $50 mil-lion, with $20.5 million guaranteed.Rookies

NEW YORK (AP) — Jose Abreu and Jacob deGrom were far from the major leagues at the start of 2013.

Abreu was playing for Cienfuegos in Cuba, and deGrom was in A-ball for the second straight year after coming back from Tommy John sur-gery.

On Monday, the pair were runaway winners in balloting for rookies of the year.

The Chicago White Sox first baseman was voted the AL honor unanimously by the Baseball Writers’ As-sociation of America, and the New York Mets pitcher won the NL award in a landslide.

One year after de-fecting from Cuba, the 27-year-old Abreu had a .581 slugging percent-age to become the first qualifying rookie to lead the major leagues since Oakland’s Mark McG-wire in 1987, according to STATS. Abreu was sixth in batting at .317, tied for fourth in home runs with 36 and fifth in RBIs with 107.

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Matt Shoe-maker was second with 40 points, followed by New York Yankees re-liever Dellin Betances (27), Houston pitcher Collin McHugh (21) and Yankees pitcher Masa-hiro Tanaka (16), who was hurt for most of the season’s second half. DeGrom received 26 of 30 first-place votes and 142 points.

Speedy Cincinnati outfielder Billy Ham-ilton was second with four firsts and 92 points. He hit .285 with 38 sto-len bases in the first half, then slumped to .200 with 18 steals after the All-Star break.

DeGrom went 0-4 with a 4.39 ERA in his first seven starts, then won at Miami with sev-en scoreless innings on June 21. He went on to win nine of his last 11 decisions, compiling a 1.99 ERA, and finished 9-6 with a 2.69 ERA.

Spartan men survive hectic finish to move to 3-0By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

The Southwestern men’s basketball team built a 16-point lead midway through the second half here Monday against North Central Missouri College, but the Pirates’ hectic style of play over the final 10 minutes allowed them to close the gap to within seven points late.

Still, the Spartans held on for the win and remained unbeaten, improving to 3-0 for the season.

“We did a good job of building up a lead in the second half,” Southwestern head coach Todd Lorensen said. “Anytime it gets that hectic like it did in the sec-ond half, it’s tough, because they were no holds barred and they were willing to give up easy baskets to make it that chaotic. They did a good job of battling back, so credit them.”

Leading 60-51, the Spar-tans went on a 7-0 run, high-lighted by a dump off from Josh Kirk to Mataika Koya-mainavure for a layup, fol-lowed by a breakaway slam dunk by freshman TJ Bower of Fontanelle.

That gave the Spartans a 67-51 lead with just over 10 minutes remaining in the game.

But the Pirates responded with a 7-0 run of their own to cut the lead to 67-58.

The Southwestern lead grew back to 16 with just under 3:00 left to play, when Bower hit one of two tech-nical free throws and Jaylon Smith knocked down a pair of free throws on a one-and-

one.North Central Missouri

didn’t give up, though. The Pirates went into a press de-fense and started chucking desperation3-pointers — most of which seemed to fall through the basket.

Terrance Bush Jr. knocked down three 3-pointers late and had a steal that led to a slam dunk, while Tyrell Thirkield also hit a 3-pointer, as the Pirates closed to within 86-79 with :38 left.

Lorensen said it was a good experience for his team to have to battle in a tight game down the stretch, after a pair of blowout wins to open the season.

“There’s no amount of practice you can do situa-

tion-wise that can replace a game, so it was really good for us,” he said. “It’s a lot easier to learn lessons in a win than in a loss, so it will

Spartan women fall in another nail-biterFollow up with loss to North Central Missouri

By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

YORK, Neb. — The Southwestern Community College women’s basket-ball team had a shot to win the game here Thursday, but came up short in a 50-49 loss to the York College JV team.

“Unfortunately, it was that close,” head coach Addae Houston said. “We didn’t play good. And we had to actually battle back to get a lead. When we did get a lead, we couldn’t hold it.”

The Spartans trailed 23-21 at halftime, but mid-way through the second half, they finally claimed a lead. Over the course of the next four minutes, that lead stretched to 10 points.

But Southwestern couldn’t hold the lead, as York College fought back into the game and took the lead back with about 20 seconds remaining.

The Spartans finished the game with just 13 turn-overs, but many of those turnovers came in the final 10 minutes, Houston said.

Houston called his final timeout with 18 seconds remaining to set up a play for the final shot.

“We didn’t get the look we wanted, but we still had the final shot, because the shot clock was no longer on. We were going through our motion stuff to get a better look and we turned the ball over.”

Southwestern fouled and York College couldn’t convert at the free throw line with :04 left, giving the Spartans one final chance.

The Spartans grabbed the rebound and got the

ball to halfcourt, where a desperation heave at the basket went hard off the backboard, ending the game.

“It’s definitely a game we should have won after taking the lead like we did,” Houston said. “Right now, we don’t know how to finish games. We have to understand the situations we’re in and how to value the basketball in those sit-uations. Those turnovers turned into easy points for them.”

Cambry Schluter scored 14 points off the bench to lead the Spartans, w h i l e L a S t e l -la Slack f i n i s h e d with nine p o i n t s and Jill Vanderhoof scored eight. Olivia Reifert grabbed 10 rebounds.

Na Keyia Harris and Jazzlyn Wimbush did not travel with the team be-cause of a violation of team rules.North Central Missouri

The Spartans returned home for a contest with North Central Missouri College on Monday eve-ning, dropping to 0-4 for the season with a 78-53 loss to the Pirates.

“They were a team that we knew coming in was a good transition team,” Houston said. “They had good posts inside, and that was the threat we saw go-ing into it that we were try-ing to slow down.

“We knew it was go-ing to be a battle on the

boards for rebounds, so we were trying to limit sec-ond-chance points, make sure we got back in tran-sition and control drib-ble penetration. That just didn’t happen tonight for us.”

The Spartans trailed by nearly 20 points at halftime after a cold start shooting the basketball and never recovered.

Sa’Lisa Bruce led the Spartans with 13 points, including three 3-pointers.

“When shots weren’t falling, we kind of dropped

our head a little bit and didn’t make up for it on the defen-sive end,” H o u s t o n said. “It got a lit-tle bit better, because we started to attack the bas-ket. Got some closer shots, got some kicks for open looks, so that part went better. But defensively we never got better.”

TCU, Baylor clear Big 12 front-runners for playoff By STEPHEN HAWKINSAP Sports Writer

West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen starting preparing for Baylor when the Bears were coming off a wild come-back win over TCU.

Two weeks after that, he flipped the script and exam-ined that game while prep-ping his Mountaineers to play the Horned Frogs.

Which one is better?“I’d hate to have to choose

between them, so good luck to the (playoff) committee,” Holgorsen said Monday. “We’ve played a lot of good football teams, and those two are as good as I’ve seen. If they continue to win in the Big 12 and finish 11-1, then they should be in the top four. That’s for certain.”

No. 5 TCU and No. 6 Bay-lor (both 8-1 overall, 5-1 Big 12) are the clear front-runners if the Big 12 is going to grab one of the spots in the new four-team playoff.

Oklahoma is the only team that has played the Frogs, Bears and No. 13 Kansas State (7-2, 5-1), losing to all of the Big 12 co-leaders. The Wildcats are likely out of playoff contention with two losses overall after a 41-20 loss at TCU on Saturday.

Asked on the weekly Big 12 coaches teleconference which of those three teams was the best, Sooners coach Bob Stoops said he wouldn’t offer an opinion on that. But he

made reference to that Oct. 11 game in which TCU led by 21 points in the fourth quarter only to see Baylor rally for a 61-58 win on the final play.

“As you look at right now, Baylor and TCU obviously are sitting at the top and they had a heck of a game that went down to the last sec-onds,” Stoops said. “Again, that’s for everyone else to de-cide.”

Conference champions will be weighed heavily by the 12-member playoff selection committee for its final rank-ings Dec. 7. The Big 12 is the only power-five league with-out a championship game, but is the only one that plays a round-robin schedule.

If Baylor and TCU both finish 11-1, the Bears would have the head-to-head victo-ry. But the Frogs won 31-30 at West Virginia two weeks after Baylor’s two-touchdown loss there in its lowest-scoring game of the season.

When the playoff commit-tee put out its first rankings two weeks ago, defending Big 12 champion Baylor was com-ing off an open date follow-ing the loss at West Virginia. TCU had won a pair of lop-sided games since the setback in Waco, with an eye-catching 82 points against Texas Tech.

TCU has been the high-est-ranked Big 12 team in the playoff rankings, starting at No. 7, six spots ahead of Baylor. That margin was un-changed last week when both were up one slot, after the

Frogs’ game-ending field goal at WVU and the Bears with an expected lopsided win at home against Kansas.

In the new AP and coaches polls released Sunday, TCU was fifth and Baylor was up four spots to sixth after an im-pressive 48-14 victory at Okla-homa. Kansas State dropped to 13th in both, and will also surely slip in the new playoff rankings Tuesday night after being seventh last week.

“The only thing we can control is to try to win out, be 11-1 and have an opportunity to be (Big 12) co-champions,” TCU coach Gary Patterson said. “Just how we play, and what the general public and the committee think about us when we get done ... we’ve just got to control our own destiny.”

TCU, after playing five ranked teams in a six-week span, has road games against Kansas and Texas before ending the regular season at home against Iowa State.

Baylor is off this week be-fore playing Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Kansas State, the finale at home.

“Our mission when we started this season was to try to repeat as Big 12 champi-ons, and that’s still our goal,” Baylor coach Art Briles said. “We’re not going to get our vision and our hopes and aspi-rations caught into the vapor right now. The reality is we have to go win.”

Defense, special teams help Eagles rout Panthers By ROB MAADDIAP Pro Football Writer

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Mark Sanchez did his part for the Eagles while the de-fense dominated and special teams shined.

Darren Sproles had two touchdowns, Sanchez threw for two scores and the defense sacked Cam Newton nine times to help Philadelphia beat the Carolina Panthers 45-21 Monday night.

Filling in for an injured Nick Foles, Sanchez had 332 yards passing in his first start since Dec. 30, 2012. Sproles returned a punt 65 yards for a score and had an 8-yard TD run. Bradley Fletcher

returned an interception 34 yards for a TD and Jordan Matthews had 138 yards re-ceiving and two TDs.

“Just an outstanding per-formance by all three phases,” Sanchez said.

The Eagles (7-2) stayed on top in the NFC East. They’re trying to repeat as division champions without Foles, who broke his collarbone in a win at Houston last week.

The Panthers (3-6-1) hard-ly look like the team that won the NFC South last year. They’ve lost four in a row and already have allowed more points in 10 games than they did in 2013. Making things worse, Panthers defensive tackle Star Lotulelei was cart-

ed off the field late in the third quarter.

“We’ve got to do things better,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. “I have to coach better, coaches have to coach better, we have to practice better and then go out and play better. And we’re going to do it together as a team.”

Newton threw the first of three interceptions and DeAngelo Williams lost a fumble on Carolina’s first three plays from scrimmage. The turnovers led to 10 points for the Eagles.

Conor Barwin had 3 ½ sacks and Brandon Graham had 1 ½. Newton had never been sacked more than seven times in his career.

be good for us to come back to the film session tomorrow and see some of the things we didn’t do as well as we would have liked and hopefully next time we’re in that situation we can execute it better.”

After North Central Missouri built an early 8-2 lead, Southwest chipped away at the lead and got a boost in energy from the crowd after a high-flying breakaway slam dunk by Smith gave the Spartans their first lead of the game at 12-11.

Simon Joseph rose up for a putback slam dunk off a Smith miss to make it a 21-16 lead with 11:59 left in the half.

Joseph then sank two free throws to make it an 11-point lead at 31-20 with 9:18 to go. The 6-7 fresh-man from Des Moines pro-vided a spark for the Spar-tans off the bench with his rebounding.

“He came off the bench and was really a monster on the boards, both of-fensively and defensive-ly,” Lorensen said. “With Mataika getting two early fouls, we really needed him to play well in the first half and he did a great job of being ready to play. When his number was called, he did a great job for us.”

F i v e S p a r t a n s scored in d o u b l e f i g u r e s , led by

Smith’s 19 points. Smith shot 12-of-16 at the free throw line.

Joining Smith in dou-ble figures were Bower with 16, including a pair of 3-pointers, Kirk with 14 points, Kut with 13 and K o y a -m a i n a -vure with 10 points.

Like Jo-seph, Kirk came off the bench to provide a jolt of energy for the Spartans.

“Everybody who stepped on the floor tonight con-tributed,” Lorensen said. “And I have all the con-fidence in the other guys, had they got their num-bers called, would have contributed as well. I have a lot of confidence in our bench, because they work hard every day and they’ve proven that when they’re called on, they perform for us.”

Southwestern, now 3-0 for the season, hosts Graceland’s JV team at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. The Spartans defeated the Yel-low Jackets 120-73 in the season opener on Nov. 3.

“Obviously we’re excit-ed about that (3-0 start), but we also know there’s a ton of work to do,” Lo-rensen said. “We’ve got a lot of things to improve on. We’re going to keep going back to the office and try to improve every day.”

NY doctor to be released after Ebola recovery NEW YORK (AP) — An

emergency room doctor who was the first Ebola patient in the nation’s biggest city has recovered and is scheduled to be released from the hos-pital on Tuesday, health offi-cials said.

Dr. Craig Spencer, who was the only Ebola patient being treated in the United States, has been declared free of the virus, the city Department of Health said Monday in a statement.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said Spencer has suffered a lot the last few weeks but has “come back really strong.” He called Spencer “a real hero.”

“I’m sure he’s a little weakened from the expe-rience,” de Blasio said, but he’s “very, very healthy.”

Spencer tested positive for the virus on Oct. 23, just days after returning from treating patients in Guinea with Doctors Without Bor-ders. He has been treated in a specially designed isolation

unit at Manhattan’s Bellevue Hospital, a designated Ebola treatment center. His condi-tion was upgraded from seri-ous to stable last week, and he was feeling well enough to request an exercise bike and a banjo.

Spencer, who’s 33, is ex-pected to issue a statement but not take questions when he’s released from the hospi-tal.

Health officials have stressed that Ebola is not airborne and can only be spread through direct con-tact with the bodily fluids of an infected person who is showing symptoms. Still, news of Spencer’s infection set many New Yorkers on edge, particularly after de-tails emerged that he rode the subway, dined in a meat-ball restaurant and visited a bowling alley in the days before he developed a fever and tested positive.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie responded by

announcing a mandatory 21-day quarantine for travelers who have come in close con-tact with Ebola patients.

Those treated in the U.S. also include American health and aid workers and a journalist who were in West Africa, a Liberian man diag-nosed with the virus during a visit to Texas and two nurs-es who contracted it from him. The man, Thomas Eric Duncan, died; the rest have recovered.

Spencer, an attending physician at NewYork-Pres-byterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Cen-ter, has traveled around the world to care for the needy. In the past three years, he’d been to Rwanda to work on an emergency care teaching curriculum, volunteered at a health clinic in Burundi, helped investigate an in-fectious parasitic disease in the Democratic Republic of Congo and traveled to 32 villages in Indonesia to do a public health survey.

296 Public Square • Greenfield

GREENFIELD — A new exhibit of watercolors by Kay Kapfer Wall, who grew up in Greenfield, is on display now in the gallery of the Warren Cultural Center through Novem-ber.

There is no charge to view the show in the lob-by/gallery of the center, 154 Public Square, Green-field, open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and through Ed & Eva’s store on Sat-urdays, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wall’s paintings are avail-able for purchase through Ed & Eva’s.

Wall’s paintings have received numerous awards in Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota, including Judge’s Choice, Purchase and five Visitors’ Choice awards. She is a member of the Iowa Watercolor Society. Her paintings are in public and private col-lections across the states

and in 10 foreign coun-tries.

Wall credits her father, Dr. T.A. Kapfer, and mother, Cathryn, with

nurturing her love of art. Her father, she recalls, showed her how to draw a dog’s head on a napkin while sitting in a booth in

the Greenfield Hotel. Her mother encouraged her to arrange cut flowers. Af-ter graduating from Iowa State with a major in Ap-

plied Art, Wall worked for four years in textile design in New York City and at-tended watercolor classes.

She returned to Iowa in 1962 to marry Don Wall and began teaching draw-ing and painting.

“My greatest joy is when I see a student’s success, be it in a single painting or in an artistic occupation,” she said.

Wall has taught students of all ages and abilities through art centers, exten-sion programs, as a guest artist in schools, and pri-vately. She also does her own framing.

“My philosophy is sim-ple: Art is something that makes the viewer or listen-er catch his breath in awe, wonder or agreement,” she said. “I paint because I want to hold on to the beauty I see and share it with others.”

Cancer patient garners strength from Garth Brooks

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A woman battling breast cancer has been given a gift she won’t soon forget while attending a Garth Brooks’ concert in the Twin Cities over the weekend.

Teresa Shaw and her daughter traveled from Iowa to see Brooks’ show in Minneapolis last Friday. Shaw brought a sign that read “Chemo this morning. Garth tonight. Enjoy the dance.”

And it was during Brooks’ hit song “The Dance” that Shaw found herself front and center, next to the stage. Brooks walked over and started singing to her, then handed her his guitar and kissed her on the forehead.

KARE-TV says the per-former took Shaw’s sign and held it up for the audience, telling her that he and ev-eryone in the audience were sending her strength to beat her cancer.

‘Big Hero 6,’ ‘Interstellar’ soar at box office LOS ANGELES (AP)

— A team of animated Marvel characters rocket-ed past a group of worm-hole-bound astronauts at the weekend box office.

Disney’s animated ad-venture “Big Hero 6,” fea-turing the inflatable robot Baymax and his prodigy pal Hiro from the Marvel comic book, debuted in first place with $56.2 million, ac-cording to studio estimates Sunday. Paramount’s space saga “Interstellar,” starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway as as-tronauts, took off in second place with $50 million, esti-mates said.

Before launching in more than 3,500 theaters this weekend, writer-director Christopher Nolan’s “Inter-stellar” played Wednesday and Thursday in about 250 theaters equipped to project the movie on film — “The Dark Knight” filmmaker’s preferred method of show-casing his creations.

“Interstellar” opened be-low Nolan’s last film, the

mind-bending thriller “In-ception,” which conjured up $62.8 million when it debuted in 2010. Nolan’s sci-fi odyssey also wasn’t in the orbit of last year’s $55.8 million opening for Paramount’s previous space epic, “Gravity.” ‘’Interstel-lar” has a hefty running time of 169 minutes, while “Gravity” clocked in at 91 minutes.

“The difference is ‘In-terstellar’ isn’t in 3D, and certainly the running time on our film does change the play pattern in that you lose an evening show,” said Me-gan Colligan, Paramount’s head of domestic marketing and distribution. “Given those factors, we did spec-tacularly well. ‘Gravity’ also opened by itself. We had another big film in the mar-ketplace.”

If the estimates hold up, this weekend will mark the fourth time in box office history that a pair of films both opened with $50 mil-lion or above. The previous matchups were “Monsters

University” vs. “World War Z” in 2013, “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted” vs. “Prometheus” in 2012, and “WALL-E” vs. “Wanted” in 2008. In each instance, the animated option came out on top.

“Both movies were able to do well without cannibal-izing each other’s audienc-es,” said Paul Dergarabe-dian, senior media analyst for Rentrak. “By opening a diversity of product against each other, the industry can expand the marketplace. It’s a perfect example of counterprogramming. It paid off for the industry, and it just doesn’t happen that often.”

Dergarabedian noted the box office total was down about 7 percent compared with the same weekend last year, when the Disney superhero sequel “Thor: The Dark World” opened with $85.7 million.

“Interstellar,” which cost a reported $165 mil-lion and is being distrib-uted by Warner Bros.

internationally, dominated overseas, earning an ad-ditional $80 million from 62 markets, including the United Kingdom, South Korea, Russia and France. The film is set to open in China on Wednesday.

——————Estimated ticket sales

Honoring Those Who ServePast Present Future “The Bank that Service Built”

2B Creston News AdvertiserTuesday, November 11, 2014 3BCreston News Advertiser

Tuesday, November 11, 2014

By SARAH BROWNCNA staff [email protected]

Monte Baker, 67, of Cres-ton was 20 years old when he followed in his father Keith Baker’s footsteps and joined the United States Navy in February of 1967 and served as petty officer, second class until November of 1970 as petty officer.

And, a family tradition was born.

Life in the serviceLeading up to his enlist-

ment, Baker worked on his family’s farm in Grand River, where he helped raise cattle, hogs and sheep. Where the military took him was a far cry from home for the small town boy, who had never t r a v e l e d beyond the borders of the United States.

After he completed boot camp in Great L a k e s , Ill., Baker made his way to Memphis, Tenn., where he completed basic helicopter training. He was then stationed at Lake Hurst Naval Air Station in Lake Hurst, N.J., where he worked primarily as a heli-copter mechanic.

Baker was part of a heli-copter squadron assigned to the U.S.S. Saratoga, an air-craft, at the time, located off the coast of Florida.

“We’d fly down the coast, get on the ship and go out,” Baker said.

Baker said 32 enlisted men from his unit would take three helicopters on board the carrier. While on the carrier, his squadron was on duty 24 hours a day.

“We was there to pick up anytime there was a plane launch or a landing,” Baker said. “We had to launch the helicopter for downed pilots

that missed the aircraft carri-er, or if someone crashed in, or somebody fell overboard. We was there to pick them up.”

During his four years in the service, Baker was as-signed to a 13-month deploy-ment on WESTPAC in the south Pacific Ocean off the coast of Vietnam. However, at the last moment, the ship was then sent to the Medi-terranean — off the coasts of Spain, Italy and Greece — for its close proximity to Russia.

“There’s 5,000 people in there (on the carrier),” Bak-er said. “They take you out in the middle of the ocean on a big floating pile of iron. That was really something.”

A new appreciationBaker said his naval ex-

perience gave him a greater appreciation for the free-doms and privileges he has as United States citizen.

“You don’t real-ize what a great country this is until you go over and see how other people live,” Bak-er said.

Baker said some of the conditions he saw people living in weren’t shelters he

would even put his livestock in.

“And, those people lived every day like that,” Baker said. “We have a great coun-try.”

Veterans DayFor Baker, Veterans Day

is a day of remembrance to pay respect to the men and women who fight to protect the United States and its cit-izens.

“Freedom is not free,” Baker said. “We have to pay the price somehow.”

His years spent in the mili-tary helps Baker understand his fellow veterans and the sacrifice everyone gave to their country as they left home.

“All veterans seem to be part of a brotherhood,” Bak-er said. “You all kind of look at each other the same way. I feel like I am a part of that.”

Baker hopes to see future generations make the same sacrifice, should this country call on it.

“I hate to see them have to go, but, you got to look at it ... we wouldn’t have today if it hadn’t been for someone who stepped up and done what they needed to do.”

CNA photo by SARAH BROWNIn his home office, Monte Baker surrounds himself with memorabilia from two genera-tions of service in the United States Navy. Today, Baker spends his retirement working on two of his family’s farms in his hometown of Grand River and spending time with his wife Mary Jo Skarda, children Clint Brown of Mcoloud, Okla., Tonya Gonseth of Osceola, Toshia Rossiter of Des Moines, Travis Eggman of Ankeny, Jordan Eggman of Creston and three grandchildren — Austin Gonseth and Karigan and Riley Rossiter.

� Monte Baker reminisces on his time in the United States Navy and the sacrifice of his fellow service-men.
