Holiday season hits Creston By BAILEY POOLMANCNA staff reporterbpoolman@crestonnews.com

Bright lights and the big city.The holiday season is upon

us, and “there’s no place like Creston for the holidays.”

Kicking off Creston’s annual holiday event Thursday, Quilts and Other Notions is hosting a quilt show, and American Home Design Center is host-ing the Festival of Trees 9 a.m until after Creston’s Lighted Christmas Parade scheduled for 7 p.m.

“We’re planning on hav-ing the same great turnout as in years’ past,” said Ellen G e r h a r z , Chamber of C o m m e r c e executive di-rector. “The parade is usually very well attend-ed. ... a lot of them (peo-ple) may stay in their cars this year, watching the weather forecast.”Parade

No registration is needed to enter a float in the parade. The only requirement is the float must be lighted. All partici-pants should line up at the cor-ner of West Mills and North Walnut streets.

“No one needs to register. Again, everyone is invited to be in the parade. They just need to be in place at about 6:45 p.m. on the fifth, and their float needs to be lighted,” said Gerharz. “Usually the parade lasts about half an hour to 45 minutes.”

The parade’s route will be-gin heading west on West Mills to North Elm Street. Partici-pants will turn south on North Elm until they reach West Montgomery Street. They will go west on West Montgomery, then south on North Division until they reach West Ad-ams Street. From there, par-ticipants should head east on West Adams until they reach North Walnut.

For safety, it is requested all participants hand out candy instead of throwing it.Thursday events

Other events Thursday in-clude a visit with Santa and Mrs. Clause 4:30 to 7 p.m., model railroaders 4:30 p.m. to close, Creston: Arts gallery 4:30 p.m. to close and Appa-lachia Service Project soup supper 5 to 6:30 p.m., all at the restored Creston Depot.

There will also be fireworks after the parade, and a quilt block walk through uptown Creston businesses. Creston Farmers’/Winter Market will be held 4 to 8 p.m. at 311 W. Montgomery St., Carolathon: Christmas Around the World will be 5 to 6:30 p.m. at 501 W.

Marital problems prompt Tyler Olson to scale back gubernatorial bid

Does property-tax reform affect you? By AMY HANSENOST news editorahansen@osceolaiowa.com

OSCEOLA — Property-tax reform is com-ing to Iowa, and one of the main components of the reform is the business property tax credit.

“For your purposes, it’s a credit. It’s a roll-back. It’s a local payment for that rollback,” said Julie Roisen, property-tax division administra-tor with Iowa Department of Revenue during a commercial property tax reform luncheon Nov. 21 at Lakeside Casino’s ballroom. “It is (a) reduction in taxable value growth for certain classes — ag(ricultural) and res(idential). It is an exemption for telecom, and it’s a new classifica-tion at a very high level.”

The event was hosted by Clarke County De-velopment Corporation.The credit

According to Iowa Department of Revenue, the business property-tax credit is part of the overall 2013 property-tax reform bill that was enacted by the Iowa Legislature and signed by Gov. Terry Branstad. The credit is applied to-ward property taxes due on the 2013 property assessment and payable fall 2014 and spring 2015.

Union County Assessor Gene Haner said the rollback will be at 95 percent of the assessed val-ue. It will have the potential to change each year.

The credit is available for certain commercial, industrial and railroad properties. The credit is applicable to individual parcels, as well as “prop-erty units.” One credit is available for each qual-ified parcel or property unit.

According to the department of revenue, a property unit is a new concept specific to the credit. The law defines a property unit as con-tiguous parcels of the same classification that are owned by the same person, located in the same county and operated by that person for a com-mon use and purpose.

For example, Creston Publishing Company is composed of four property units — three con-tiguous and one divided by an alley. Creston Publishing Company would have two parcels to submit applications for the property-tax reform.To apply

DES MOINES (MCT) – Demo-cratic gubernatorial candidate Ty-ler Olson says he is scaling back his campaign schedule to focus on fam-ily matters as he and his wife work through divorce proceedings.

“I am saddened to announce to-day that my wife, Sarah, and I are separating,” Olson said in a state-ment Monday. “This decision was made only after significant dis-cussion and professional support to deal with the issues facing our marriage. We are working through divorce proceedings but remain friends whose No. 1 priority is the happiness and well being of our children.”

The Cedar Rapids representative,

who made his young family a cen-terpiece of his campaign, said the situation is a personal matter but he felt it was necessary to make a public acknowledgement given that he is a candidate for his political party’s 2014 gubernatorial nomina-tion. Olson, who met his wife while volunteering on the campaign of a Cedar Rapids legislative candidate, was first elected to the Iowa House in 2006. The couple has two chil-dren.

Olson, 37, said he remains a can-didate for governor but he is scaling back his campaign events for the re-mainder of the year “to focus on my family and helping them through this transition.”

should contact their county or city assessor for instruc-tions on how to obtain and complete an application form. Across the state, each county assessor may be han-dling the application process differently.

“It takes about a minute,” Haner said. “We have all the applications printed out.”

Anyone eligible fore the credit in Union County is encouraged to stop into the Union County Courthouse and complete the applica-tion.

More information can be found on the website www.iowa-assessors.org.

Roisen said if people want to have the tax credit ap-plied to the 2013 property-tax assessment, applications must be received by their as-sessor no later than Jan. 15.

Applications received after that date will be applied to the 2014 property-tax assessment.

Roisen said, once an ap-plication has been approved, there doesn’t need to be a re-application in later years, un-less something changes with the unit.

Remember the dateHowever, she wanted to

again remind people of the Jan. 15 deadline date for the 2013 property-tax assessment.

“Not postmarked. Not

in the mail. In the office,” Roisen said. “... It would be my impression that the rea-son for this is the first year there is a tremendous volume of applications that have to get through the door and get processed, and lots of back-ground things have to hap-pen.”

What is not eligibleAccording to Iowa Depart-

ment of Revenue, the follow-ing types of property are not eligible for the business prop-erty-tax credit:

• Agricultural property• Residential property• Property that is rented or

leased under Section 42 (low income) housing

• Hotels, motels, and inns where rooms are rented for more than 30 days at a time

• Mobile-home parks• Manufactured-home communities• Land-leased communities• Assisted-living facilities• Nursing homes• Property that is primarily

used or intended for human habitation that contains three or more separate dwelling units. This includes apart-ment buildings and dwellings converted to three or more apartments currently classi-fied as commercial property.

HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The NSA spied on the porn hab-its of U.S. radical Muslims to learn about their personal secrets. We’re such idiots. If instead, we’d spied on the Porn Hub website they used and learned how it handles ten million hits an hour, Obamacare would be a success story by now.

The Department of Transporta-tion forecast record high Christmas travel this month due to lower gaso-line prices. That’ s really great news. Christmas dinner is that special time when families gather from all over America to sit at the table and look at their phones.

Black Friday saw huge re-tail sales in super-stores after Thanksgiving. Everyone was on their own. Two scientists were nomi-nated for next year’s Nobel Prize in Physics for proving that all molecu-lar movement ceases when you ask a WalMart employee a question.

President Obama was funny host-ing the annual pardoning ceremony for two turkeys Wednesday. Word

sure gets around. When the presi-dent told the turkeys if they like their heads they can keep their heads, they took off and flew for the first time in their lives.

Toronto’s mayor Rob Ford was interviewed by Fox News Monday where he denied being a cocaine addict. It’s not clear. His wife gave him a Magic 8-Ball for his birthday and he smashed it on the floor hop-ing there might be an eighth-of-an-ounce of coke inside.

O.J. Simpson failed to get his armed robbery conviction thrown out in Las Vegas court last week. Despite the city’s national advertising campaign that what hap-pens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, one thing is now very clear. The only thing that stays in Vegas is O.J. Simpson.

A world apartFISHTRAP HOLLOW, Miss.

— Lightning or some other benev-olent act of fate struck the magic modem that brings this technology-heavy century into our otherwise peaceful home.

For two quiet and wonderful days, we sat next to the wood stove in the kitchen, forced to talk to one another for entertainment. It felt almost strange, not having to wait for a written response. I read an en-tire novel in one day and made soup and picked up the telephone to call a few friends. I played CDs I had forgotten I had and swept the walk. But then the phone company got efficient and sent me a brand-new modem, which meant two full hours on the telephone with a kid whose heavy accent could not disguise the contempt he felt for a pathetic old woman who didn’t

know where the “windows” key was. Soon we called Brad, the local computer guru.

I once again am online, with all its benefits. So I have had virtual conversations with virtual friends in virtual places. I’ve ordered two or three items I did not really need and managed to “design” a Christ-mas card.

When I bought this old farm 25 years ago, the pattern in my mind was my grandparents’ South Geor-gia home. I knew I’d never grow peanuts and row crops and my own

beef here, but I imagined I could copy the aura of simplicity, the feeling that you had landed on your own planet and don’t need the rest of the galaxy.

At times, I almost succeeded. There were five years with no tele-vision, drinking water straight from the dependable spring, so little traffic you could count the cars in single digits. Cellphones didn’t work from here, and like-minded folk were drawn to the porch. Mu-sicians even praised the acoustics of the hollow and sang their hearts out by the branch.

But the tentacles of technol-ogy gradually got a stranglehold on this remote place, making life more comfortable and exciting and like the rest of the world. I hadn’t counted on such great change in so little time.

The seductive power of the Inter-net is unlike any the world has ever faced. You can type a few words into an address bar and learn how to make a gingerbread house or a bomb. You can stay in touch with old friends or “talk” sexy to strang-ers. You can buy pecans or political influence, mink coats or fatwood to start a fire.

No other machine in this house transformed it so. Not the televi-sion, tethered to a satellite, nor the telephone, bleating with calls from Unknowns. Not the CD player or the microwave. Not even the ice maker, back when it worked.

People learn to live without sug-ar or meat when it threatens their health. They give up alcohol and caffeine. But the computer addic-tion is more powerful than any of the above, and IS so intrinsically

linked to our professional and per-sonal lives, there is no way of climb-ing back out of the rabbit hole.

I am writing this on a laptop key-board before it is sent to a Florida editor who forwards it to news-papers for a New York syndicate. This computer literally is my bread and butter, same as my grandfather needed his tractor and hoe.

Only difference is, he didn’t spend the night in the barn with his tractor.

Jeff Bezos and our robot futureJeff Bezos has seen the future of

retail delivery, and it is the drone. When the storied CEO of Ama-zon told “60 Minutes” that he’s working on 30-minute delivery by tiny unmanned octocopter, it prompted an instant wave of dis-belief and derision. One wag on Twitter joked that Amazon would offer free shipping to all military-aged Muslim males.

Our culture is primed to cel-ebrate the new and marvel at technological innovation — ex-cept when it comes to the drone. Then, the first reaction of many people is to muse about shooting the newfangled contraptions out of the sky. If the country is to be kept safe, evidently, all aircraft within the United States must always and forevermore be manned.

The root of the drone’s image problem is obviously its outsized role in the war on terror, where it is a highly effective tool of sur-veillance and assassination. That doesn’t mean it’s exclusively a tool of warfare or inherently nefarious, any more than that is true of air-planes, guns, helicopters, barbed wire, sandbags or tracked vehicles — all of which play their part in horrific wars, and are still useful civilian tools.

Certainly, nothing could be more blissfully pacific than the promotional video for Amazon Prime Air. It shows a drone pick-ing a small package up from a warehouse conveyor belt -- where it was placed by a human — and then taking it on a pleasant jaunt in the air before dropping it outside a satisfied customer’s door.

It’s not going to be that easy, of course. Imagine the lawsuit the first time an Amazon drone hits someone or crashes into someone’s roof. And good luck getting the Federal Aviation Administration to play along. In its wisdom, the agency issued an advisory against the commercial use of drones back in 2007. Full-blown certification of unmanned aircraft may not start until 2020.

Bezos is nonetheless onto some-thing, as he has been before. (It once would have seemed a fantasy that you could sit at a computer and order with “1-Click” goods to be delivered to your home the next day.) Drone technology still needs to mature, but it will. Over time, drones will become cheaper, more precise and more robust.

As Derek Thompson of The At-lantic points out, Bezos is wise to be thinking ahead, given how rap-idly dominant retailers are over-taken by more nimble competitors. As of 1982, according to Thomp-son, Sears was still the biggest re-tailer in America. Soon enough, it would be a fraction of the size of Wal-Mart. In imagining a drone fu-ture, Bezos is honoring the prime directive of retail: Get people what they want, cheaper and faster, us-ing the latest technology.

He’s not the first to think about

drone delivery. Domino’s in Brit-ain flew a demonstration pizza-delivery flight earlier this year. Fred Smith of FedEx has talked of switching the company’s fleet over to drones. A futuristic “blended wing” design that doesn’t distin-guish clearly between body and wing would allow more room for cargo, according to Chris Ander-son, the former editor of Wired and now the CEO of 3D Robotics.

Assuming the FAA gets out of the way, drones could have a va-riety of applications that don’t in-volve spying or firing missiles at terrorists. They could be used to monitor power lines and pipelines. They could be used in search-and-rescue. They could be used in mak-ing movies and promotional vid-eos. They could be used to evaluate storm damage. And they could be valuable to farmers.

Chris Anderson believes drones may be the future of agriculture, allowing farmers to monitor large fields more carefully, and use wa-ter and pesticide with greater pre-cision and care. Japan has realized this for a long time. Its ministry of agriculture began promoting the use of drones in the early 1980s. Now, 40 percent of Japan’s rice crop is sprayed by unmanned air-craft.

Scoff at Jeff Bezos, if you like. But our robot future is already here, and it will inevitably take flight.

Appreciation: Paul Walker was rock-solid guy in life and films LOS ANGELES — Ac-

tor Paul Walker’s death in a fiery car crash under a clear-blue California sky Saturday continues to feel so incred-ibly sad and so surreal.

How can it not?The actor, 40, spent much

of his life on-screen behind the wheel of fast cars, walk-ing away from the worst pos-sible pileups in the “Fast and the Furious” franchise. He was one of the central play-ers in the hugely popular series and a part of the cast from its 2001 beginnings, when it created a world where there was no curve its drivers couldn’t navigate, no wreck they couldn’t survive. Cars stood for high-octane escape, freedom at 200 mph.

No one was prepared for a day like Saturday. That Walker’s final moments would carry such heart-breaking irony; that the sort of images that defined his

life in film would also frame his death.

Though the “Fast and Fu-rious” anchor is Vin Diesel playing Dominic Toretto, a local L.A. tough with a heart of gold, a few of the core cast members became minor con-stellations in their own right. Walker, as the undercover cop who became Dom’s best friend and his most reliable partner in crime, was one.

Part of the films’ appeal was its blue-collar ethos and its love of all things Ameri-can, except for a law here or there. The pull was powerful enough that even Walker’s cop Brian O’Conner couldn’t resist. Dom’s crew of gear-heads, grease monkeys, guys willing to get their hands dirty when duty called, soon won him over.

Walker’s character was our entry point to this very real underground scene. The actor helped us see the

merit in these renegades, to be seduced by the adrenaline rush of the race. There was also Brian’s sweet relation-ship with Dom’s sister Mia, played by Jordana Brewster. Together, the actors embod-ied a classic working-class couple, their courtship re-markably innocent in an out-law world.

That was Walker’s strength in front of the cam-era. The actor was ever the rock-solid guy.

He certainly looked the part with that strong jaw, slight scruff, clear blue eyes, golden smile. It is no surprise the actor landed on People magazine’s most beautiful list. Walker could ooze sex appeal. But far more often, what you saw on-screen was an inherent decency.

From all accounts, that was an accurate description of the man, someone who held friends and family close,

who had enough fame and fortune to abuse it, but never did. The heartfelt outpour-ing of love and regret from fans and friends alike in the wake of his death speaks elo-quently to that.

Walker was born in Glen-dale, Calif., and he never moved far from home. A California boy, he liked to surf and to drive fast cars. The car passion played out on-screen, in sanctioned rac-ing circuits and at charity

events like the one he was at-tending in the Santa Clarita Valley on Saturday.

That he would become an actor was almost a given. He began spending time in front of the camera as a toddler, diaper-clad in a Pampers ad for his first performance. At 13, he made his big-screen debut in 1986’s “Monster in the Closet.” The B-movie would in a sense set the course for his career.

Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2013ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Tread carefully when talking to bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs today because something could go sideways in a New York minute. Don’t be lippy with your retorts. Think twice before you open your mouth.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Travel plans will be inter-rupted, delayed or changed today. Similarly, plans related to higher education, publishing and the media might need to be rescheduled.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Make friends with your bank account, because some-thing unexpected might occur (a bounced check?). If you’re responsible for the property of others, be extra vigilant.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Conversations with partners and close friends are unpre-dictable today. Someone might say or do something that really catches you off guard. Be ready for this.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Computer crashes, power out-ages, staff shortages and prob-lems with machinery might create delays at work today. Allow extra time to cope with the unexpected.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Parents should be extra vigi-lant today, because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Romantic partners also might be at odds with each other. (Oops.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be patient with family mem-bers today to avoid conflict, which might break out at the drop of a hat. (“What? I never said that.”) Your home routine will be interrupted as well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is an accident-prone day for your sign, so pay atten-tion to everything you say and do. Furthermore, think before you speak in case you are too brash or hasty.

S A G I T T A R I U S (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Watch your money and cash flow today. Count your change

when shopping. Check your bills. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. (Yikes.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is an excitable day, and you feel restless. Caution against being hasty and jump-ing to conclusions. Easy does it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) This is a restless day for you. Partly it’s because you have a strong craving for excitement. Many of you will act in ways you would never consider at other times.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Discussions with a female friend might amaze or shock you today; or possibly a friend-ship with a female will suffer or end. Think before you speak when you are in group situa-tions (whether a small coffee klatch or a large convention).

YOU BORN TODAY You are

gutsy, energetic and assertive about going after what you want. You have the courage of your convictions and stand by what you believe. You under-stand human nature and can size people up quickly. You have a wonderful talent for organization. In the next year, change might take place, per-haps as significant as some-thing that occurred around 2005.

Dear Heloise: Here is a reason to NOT BURN CANDLES ALL THE WAY DOWN: I was reading in bed and burning down the last of a small candle that was already sputtering out. I was getting drowsy and thought I’d just let the candle burn itself out. So, I went to sleep.

I woke up when I heard a whoosh of air and saw my lampshade engulfed in flames, which were licking the bottom of my drapes! I don’t remem-ber how I put the fire out, but I sure counted myself lucky. I have never again left a candle to burn itself out! — Karen M. in Indiana

Yikes! You are very, very lucky! This happens more than you want to know. Thank you for writing to remind my read-ers that candles are wonderful for ambience and aroma, but they must be used correctly.

Our friends at the National Candle Association urge peo-ple who love candles (as mil-lions of us do) NOT to burn them near anything that may catch fire. Please take notice of drapes, lampshades, bed-ding, books, a stack of maga-zines, etc. Do NOT let a can-dle burn out! To be safe, put out the candle when there is 2

inches of wax left, or 1/2 inch if it is in a container. — Heloise

P.S.: My favorite is a lav-ender candle that I use when taking a relaxing bubble bath!

IDENTIFYING PRES-ENTS

Dear Heloise: As a mother of four sons and grandmother of four, I put photos of the grandkids on their Christ-mas presents. I make copies or print them out. The kids have a blast looking for their pictures. I use funny ones, or ones from when they were babies or much younger than they are now. It’s great for kids who can’t read. — Janice N. in Florida

MASTER RESUMEDear Heloise: I was laid off

and had to redo my resume. It had been years since I had looked for a job. I started from the bottom (first job to last job). If sending out many applications and resumes, make a large resume that lists everything, from work to hob-bies, etc., but NEVER send

this out. It is nice to look at this and choose which infor-mation is best-suited for each of the jobs you are applying for. You can cut and paste to make the perfect resume for each. — A Reader, via email

EASY FIXDear Heloise: When a

screw falls out of your eye-glasses, grab the wire tie from a bread bag. Strip off the pa-per so only the wire remains, and thread it through the hole in the glasses. This will hold it until you have time for a more permanent solution. — Aaron K. in Indiana

BAG STORAGEDear Heloise: I save my

plastic cleaning-wipe contain-ers and store my produce bags in them. It’s very convenient, and the area under my sink is much more organized. — Sa-mantha K., via email

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 Heloise@He-loise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

Big second half lifts Simpson JV womenBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • lpeter-son@crestonnews.com

Southwestern women appeared to be on track to contending for their third victory of the season here Monday night, but a sec-ond-half defensive lapse led to a 76-62 loss to Simp-son College JV.

The game was tied 22-22 late in the first half before the Storm closed it out on a 5-2 run to hold a 27-24 advantage. Sophomore post player Darian Polson had 11 points at the break for South-w e s t e r n , and fin-ished with 17. Guard M o r g a n K n o r r had 12 of her team-high 18 points in the second half.

Simpson was still in front by only two points midway through the second half at 41-39. But the Storm was in position to shoot foul shots much earlier in the bonus with a 5-0 differ-ence in fouls at the time. Free throws and 3-pointers keyed a 16-6 run to push Simpson to a 57-45 lead.

The margin stayed be-tween seven and 10 points the next six minutes until the Storm pushed it to 15 in the final two minutes. Simpson ended up scoring 47 points in the second half after netting only 27 in the

first half. Trading baskets wasn’t doing much to cut into the deficit.

“That’s something we have to correct,” coach Addae Houston said. “They were passing into the middle against our 3-2 zone, and we had too many people collapsing and leaving their shoot-ers. We’ve worked on it, but we kept collapsing and leaving them open for the kickout.”

Twelve turnovers pre-vented the Spartans from pulling ahead in an other-wise well-played first half against a Simpson program whose varsity is ranked nationally. The Storm JV rotation included 5-9 soph-omore post player Jessica Hawkins of Atlantic.

“We shouldn’t have 12 turnovers in a half against that team,” Houston said. “They really weren’t pres-suring us much at all. We had a chance to put our-selves in a much better position there in the first half.”

The team has eight avail-able players now, as fresh-men J’myrehea Douglas and Rhecie Lee of Port Al-len, La., are under suspen-sion for violation of team rules. They are not cur-rently on the team bench at games or practicing.

“I’m not ready to use that as an excuse,” Hous-ton said. “There are a LOT of teams that run an eight-person rotation. The thing is, we need all five players

out there to all be playing at the level we need, at the same time.”

Southwestern (2-8) gets some much needed rest for a few days now, not sched-uled in competition un-til Dec. 11 at Iowa Lakes Community College.

Criswell leads Winterset past PanthersBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • svick-er@crestonnews.com

WINTERSET — The Creston girls basketball team faced a tough chal-lenge here Monday night, playing without one of its top players while taking on a state qualifier from a year ago.

Winterset handed the Panthers their first loss of the season with a 62-39 vic-tory, as the Panthers are still without junior Nata-lie Mostek, who suffered a concussion during a pre-season scrimmage.

Creston also had to try to keep Mariah Criswell in check, who had scored 25 points in the Huskies’ season-opening win against Interstate 35. Criswell net-ted 27 points against the Panthers Monday on 10-of-17 shooting, including four made 3-pointers.

“I thought we did a pretty good job on their best play-er, Criswell,” Creston head coach Larry McNutt said. “She still probably had close to 30 points, but I re-ally thought we did a pretty good job on her. When one player gets 30, the rest don’t have to get very many.”

Even with Criswell’s strong shooting night, and Creston shooting just 8-of-16 from the free throw line in the first half, the Pan-thers found themselves down just 10 at halftime, 34-24.

“We were in the game,” McNutt said. “If we make some of those missed free throws and take away some of those turnovers, it’s a tight game at halftime.”

But, Winterset came out strong in the second half, scoring the first few baskets of the half to extend the lead. The Huskies eventu-ally extended the lead to 20 points before Creston began to chip away at the lead.

The Panthers cut the lead back to 13 points with about 4:30 remaining in the

game, but the deficit was too much to overcome and Winterset went on another run to close out the 62-39 victory.

“Our kids didn’t quit,” McNutt said. “We just got in too big of a hole to get back into it. We did a lot of good things tonight. We just have to be more consis-tent at the free throw line and take care of the ball.”

Sophomore Jenna Tay-lor led the P a n t h e r s with 23 points on 9 - o f - 1 5 shooting. She also grabbed a team-high nine re-bounds.

McNutt said with Criswell playing as dominant as she did, it forced the Panthers to play defense differently than they normally would have, but the game still gave him an idea of where his team is at right now.

“It’s hard to tell, but yeah, we competed with them at half, and if we make some free throws and don’t turn the ball over, we’re maybe leading at half,” he said. “Get everybody healthy and a little more consis-tent, and I think we’ll be all right.”

As for Mostek, there is still not timetable on her return. She started running today, and will take things day by day.

“We’ll see how she reacts tomorrow,” McNutt said. “If she feels all right tomor-row, then maybe we’ll do a little bit more and take it day by day.”

Creston, now 2-1 for the season, returns to action Friday at Glenwood.

WINTERSET (62) — Mariah Criswell 10 3-3 27, Sam Moss 4 2-3 11, Molly Eyerly 3 0-0 6, Carley Fulcher 2 1-2 6, Macayla Criswell 2 0-0 5, Darby Messerschmitt 1 1-2 4, Janel Henggeler 1 1-3 3.

CRESTON (39) — Jenna Taylor 9 5-8 23, Olivia Nielsen 1 3-6 5, Taylor Briley 1 1-2 3, Maria Mostek 1 0-0 3, Camryn Somers 1 0-0 2, Brenna Baker

Assists — 12 (Briley 5, Downing 2, Baker 2, Nielsen 2). Steals — 4 (Somers 1, Briley 1, Taylor 1, Nielsen 1). Turnovers — 18. Team fouls — 16. Fouled out — none.

JUNIOR VARSITYThe Creston JV team fell

to 0-2 for the season with a 41-38 loss at Winterset on Monday.

“The second half was much better than the first half,” Creston JV coach Mendy McCreight said. “We stepped up in the ar-eas of rebounding and tak-ing care of the ball. We had a close game in the second half as we were only down by two points with 33 sec-onds left, but were unable to finish on top.”

The Panthers shot just 8-of-22 from the free throw line, which would have made a difference in the close game.

Sadie Jones led the team with 10 points, while Tay-lor Briley and Caitlin Mc-Ilravy each netted eight points. Madison Callahan grabbed a team-high seven rebounds, while Briley fin-ished with four steals.

Creston (38) — Sadie Jones 10, Taylor Briley 8, Caitlin McIlravy 8, Madison Callahan 6, Maria Mostek 4, Cammy Rutherford 2. 3-point goals — None. Free throws — 8-22. Rebounds — 21 (Callahan 7, McIlravy 5, Jones 4, Rutherford 4, Jessica Beatty 1). Steals — 10 (Briley 4, McIlravy 3, Callahan 2, Jones 1). Assists — 2 (Jones 1, Beatty 1). Team fouls — 15.

Notre Dame now has Iowa’s complete focusBy SCOTT DOCHTERMANThe Gazette

IOWA CITY — From three games in a 50-hour period to the opponents his team faced, Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery described the Battle 4 Atlan-tis as a gruel-ing tournament. Then it got worse.

A capacity-filled charter plane with the team and fans left the Bahamas around 3 a.m. Sunday. The plane stopped in Sanford, Fla., for nearly two hours for customs, was airborne and then ran into a mechani-cal issue. It was grounded in Atlanta and didn’t re-turn to Cedar Rapids until about 3 p.m.

The massive delay forced McCaffery to alter his approach to his Sun-day routine.

“Once we had the travel

issues, we fed the kids and put them to bed,” McCaf-fery said.

With the Battle 4 At-lantis behind the No. 23 Hawkeyes (7-1), Notre Dame has their full atten-tion. The Fighting Irish, which come to Iowa City

as part of the Big Ten-ACC Challenge, are 5-1. The schools have not played each other since 1990, yet each

side shares affinity and fa-miliarity.

Iowa Coach Fran Mc-Caffery spent 11 seasons as a Notre Dame assistant from 1988-1999. He met his wife, Margaret, who briefly served as a Notre Dame women’s assistant coach after an All-American ca-reer. McCaffery was on staff when current Irish as-sistant Martin Inglesby and

ISU rollsAMES — Dustin

Hogue was supposed to be a complimentary piece for Iowa State.

It looks as if he’s ready for a bigger role.

Hogue set career highs with 22 points and 16 rebounds, and the 17th-ranked Cyclones pounded Auburn 99-70 on Mon-day night for their sixth straight win.

Melvin Ejim added 14 points and 10 boards for Iowa State (6-0), which is the Big 12’s last unbeaten team. It was Ejim’s 23rd career double-double.

The Cyclones grabbed control with a 27-5 run midway through the first half, and they finished with 28 assists on 33 field goals.

Hogue had 16 points and 12 rebounds in the first half as the Cyclones raced out to a 19-point lead that grew to as many as 35 in the second half.

It was by far the best outing to date for Hogue, a junior college trans-fer who surprisingly has emerged as one of Iowa State’s best players.

“The thing that’s im-pressed me about him is just his overall basketball I.Q.,” Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. “He knows when to space the floor. He knows when to cut. He’s a very good pass-er. He gets that thing off the board and it’s a quick outlet to get the break our going. He just does so many things.”Seahawks cruise

SEATTLE -- Rus-sell Wilson threw for 310 yards and three touch-downs, and the Seahawks became the first team to clinch a spot in the NFC playoffs with a 34-7 victo-ry over the New Orleans Saints.

More important than wrapping up a spot in the postseason, the Seahawks (11-1) moved two games ahead of the rest of the NFC in the race for home-field advantage and hold the tiebreakers over New Orleans (9-3) and Caro-lina (9-3), the two closest pursuers.Sarkisian hired

LOS ANGELES — USC has hired Washing-ton’s Steve Sarkisian as coach and interim coach Ed Orgeron has resigned, the Trojans confirmed Monday.

Sarkisian in 2009 took over a Washington pro-gram that went 0-12 the previous season, and he returned the Huskies to respectability. He led Washington to a 34-29 re-cord (24-21 Pac-12) in five seasons.

Sarkisian thanked Washington and said he believes he left the pro-gram in a better place than when he started.

“I am extremely excited to be coming home to USC and for the oppor-tunity that USC presents to win championships,” he said in a statement. “I can’t wait to get started.”

Orgeron resigned Mon-day after he was passed over for the job, a source said.

Orgeron was “out-raged” by athletic direc-tor Pat Haden’s decision, even though Haden of-fered to make Orgeron an assistant head coach and one of the nation’s highest paid assistants, according to the source.

Griswold 41, Southwest Valley 39

GRISWOLD — South-west Valley fell in a close game here Monday night, as Griswold picked up a 41-39 home win over the Timberwolves.

“We struggled from the free throw line (8-of-14) and that could have been the difference in the game,” Southwest Valley co-head coach Sandy Win-ter said. “On a positive note, we never gave up and finished the game strong.”

Gentry Johannes led the Timberwolves with

14 points on 4-of-5 s h o o t i n g from be-hind the 3 - p o i n t a r c . S y d n e y M a y n e s chipped in seven points and grabbed a team-high 14 rebounds.

Marissa Drake scored seven points with six re-bounds, while Lexi Bronner added four points and six rebounds.

director of basketball op-erations Harold Swanagan played at Notre Dame in the late 1990s.

“I recognize the fact that there are two guys on that bench that I recruited and coached,” McCaffery said. “Mike (Brey is) somebody that I have unbelievable respect for. I really consid-er him a very good friend and have a lot of memories there. But that won’t impact our preparation in any way and we’re excited for the op-portunity.”

Brey, who is in his 14th season as Notre Dame’s head coach, recruited against McCaffery in the 1990s when Brey was at Duke. They joked about playing one another while attending a camp in Orlando over the summer.

“We sat in a lot of the same gyms recruiting a lot of the same guys,” Brey said. “I’ve know him for a while — we’re the same age — we went a lot of the same camps together.

“A good friend, a guy I really admire and I just think one of the underrated coaches in our profession. But I’d say in a couple of years that won’t be the case because he’ll be very well known.”

The match-up is one of several high-profile games in this year’s annual challenge. It earned a prime-time start, and the game is likely to sell out. Notre Dame quali-fied for the NCAA tourna-ment last year, where it was blasted by Iowa State 76-58

in its first game. Iowa barely missed the tournament but advanced to the NIT finals.

Notre Dame is guided by second-team all-Big East guard Jerian Grant, who re-cently scored his 1,000th ca-reer point. Grant, a 6-foot-5 senior, leads the Fighting Irish with 19.5 points a game, boasts 33 assists to eight turnovers and has 13 steals. Iowa counters with 6-7 se-nior shooting guard Devyn Marble, who averages 16.8 points, 4.0 assists and 2.6 steals, which ranks 21st na-tionally.

Notre Dame boasts four players who average more than 11 points and at least 22 minutes a game. Iowa has only two scorers who aver-age more than 10 points a game, but the deep Hawk-eyes put up more than 89 points a game to Notre Dame’s 83.7.

It’s Notre Dame’s first road game and its inaugural challenge game. Brey said he’s “intrigued” by how his team will respond to a hos-tile environment for the first time.

“It’s a great opportunity for us,” Brey said. “I don’t know that anyone gives us much of a shot over there given how they’re playing and we’re still trying to fig-ure it out,” Brey said. “But it’s a great opportunity for us.

“Can we be posed enough? Can we be mental-ly tough enough? Can we be physically tough enough?”

McCaffery’s crew had a normal practice on Mon-day, and the travel problems are over. Now he’s more

concerned with stopping Notre Dame’s long-distance shooting than long-distance travel. The Irish shoot 42.6 percent from 3-point range.

“This team shoots the ball from 3-point range as good as anybody we’ll see,” Mc-Caffery said. “It’s really go-ing to test our defense.

“It will be a great game for our fan base.”

BRIEFS:

Trestman cites ‘complete agreement’ on kick decision By DAN WIEDERERChicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Scalp doc-tors around Chicago might want to prepare for a spike in new patients this week. Bears coach Marc Trestman, it ap-pears, has sparked a severe outbreak of head-scratching in the wake of Sunday’s dispir-iting, demoralizing, downright befuddling 23-20 loss to the Vikings.

The confusion began Sun-day and only escalated Mon-day with Trestman offering his explanation for choosing to attempt a 47-yard field goal by Robbie Gould on second-and-7 with 4 minutes, 12 sec-onds left in overtime.

Gould’s kick, from the middle of the field, leaked just outside the right upright and the Bears never possessed the ball again, leaving the Metro-dome with an agitating loss to

a last-place team that put the head coach in the line of fire for sharp criticism and curious interrogation.

The surface-level question: Why kick on second down rather than have the offense run another play or two to get Gould closer?

Trestman took that one head on, asserting that the Bears were going to attempt a field goal, no matter the down, as soon as they crossed the Vikings’ 30 in overtime. So when Matt Forte plowed from the 32 to the 29 on first down, keeping the ball in the middle of the field, Trestman had ex-actly what he wanted.

“We made a collective deci-sion that once we got in, there was complete agreement and no discussion on the matter,” Trestman said.

With Gould kicking into a net behind the bench, Trest-man called a timeout to give

the kicking unit a chance to gather itself.

The Vikings followed with their own timeout, presum-ably to ice Gould. But maybe they, too, were trying to pro-cess Trestman’s unorthodox decision.

“There wasn’t analytics in-volved as much as it was, we’re clearly in his range,” Trestman said. “And we’re in the middle of the field.”

Still, a deeper mystery re-mains unresolved. How did Trestman, who character-izes himself as a glass-half-full thinker, a leader who spent the first 11 games establishing a reputation as a fearless gam-bler in pressure situations, sud-denly begin worrying about all the things he admitted being concerned about late Sunday?
