San Diego trip concludes honor band careers for Creston couple ■

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Mike and Lisa Peters have reached the end of the rainbow.

The pot of gold is a treasure trove of memories accumulated over 22 years of working with southwest Iowa’s finest high school musicians on winter holiday bowl game trips.

“It’s been so much fun.

But, going to 10 bowl games on Christmas break and watching over 200 teenagers each time, it’s time for new young teachers and their expertise,” said Lisa Peters, special education teacher in Creston

and director of the Southwest Iowa Honor Marching Band’s color guard for its recent trip to the Holiday Bowl in San Diego, California.

Her husband, Mike, has been band director in Creston since 1995, the year before his first bowl trip with the southwest Iowa band to the Fiesta Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona. He was head director of the honor band for its trip to Atlanta, Georgia in 2013 for the Chick-fil-A Bowl.

This year, he was a drumline director for the band under head director Jarrod O’Donnell of Atlantic High School. Mike and Lisa’s son, Tyler, a senior at Creston Community High School, was head drum major after qualifying for the band as a trumpet player.

His older sister, Ashley, qualified for the honor

GREENFIELD – Derek Eugene Ueligger, 31, of Creston was charged Wednesday with two counts of vehicular homicide, two counts of serious injury by vehicle and one count of operating while under the influence as the result of an Iowa State Patrol investigation into a Nov. 2, 2016, two-vehicle crash.

According to an Iowa State Patrol crash report, the crash happened 1 mile north of the Adair-Union County line at the intersection of Highway 25 and 330th Street.

Around 9:30 p.m., Nov. 2, 2016, a vehicle driven

by Ueligger was traveling southbound in the north-

bound lane on Highway 25 while 82-year-old Betty Schultz of Greenfield was traveling northbound in the same lane when the two vehicles had a head-on collision within the northbound lane.

The vehicle Ueligger was driving came to rest in the ditch, and Schultz’s vehicle came to rest in the middle of the roadway.

A passenger, 88-year-old Dawn Christensen of Adair, was transported by ambulance to Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston where she died as a result of her injuries. Norma Caltrider, 85, of Adair was flown CRASH | 2A

Police: 4 charged in Facebook Live attack to appear in court CHICAGO (AP) — The two 18-year-old men had been schoolmates, police say. After meeting at McDonald’s, they spent two days together, driving around visiting friends.

Then a pretend fight escalated into a brutal beating of one of the men, a mentally disabled teenager, in an attack that stirred racial tensions and outrage after being broadcast on Facebook Live.

How the white suburban teenager ended up beaten by the four black suspects, threatened with a knife and taunted with profanities against white people and President-elect Donald Trump is among the puzzles authorities are still trying to piece together after the suspects were charged with hate crimes.

Bruce Pearson, Funeral Director

With their youngest child graduating this year and other family matters to attend to during holiday breaks, the Peters duo — with the most tenure of any current director involved in the honor band — felt the timing was perfect to step aside.

“I have nothing against it and I’ll still help the kids get ready for it,” Mike Peters said. “I just won’t go along as an instructor anymore. I just don’t have the stamina to go on the trips anymore. There are young (band) directors who are chomping at the bit to be a part of this. At some point you have to step back and say that’s enough.”

Origin The Southwest Iowa Honor Band began as an idea by Dan Frazier, English teacher at Lewis Central Middle School, who was watching the 1984 Rose Bowl parade at the home of his father, Harlan superintendent Orville Frazier.

A Los Angeles high school honor band was shown performing in the parade.

Orville Frazier approached Harlan’s band director at the time, Lee Nelson, about the idea of forming a southwest Iowa honor band to perform in bowl parades.

A trip to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, was proposed because it was closer than most bowl games. A 235-member band took buses to Dallas and performed at the Dec. 30, 1984, Cotton Bowl parade.

Larry Peppers, retired Creston school administrator, was an assistant director of the honor band for its trip to the Cotton Bowl in 1987 while he was band director at Nishna Valley High School.

Director of the fourth edition of the Southwest Iowa Honor Marching Band in the 1991 Cotton Bowl was Kurt Schwark, then band director at Creston High School.

The band performs every other year, because of the logistics and time required to audition, select and plan for the trips, not to mention the expense. (This year, students raised $1,800 each and had additional expenses on the trip.)

Eventually, other bowls were selected for the honor band’s trips because the Cotton Bowl lost its parade sponsorship and discontinued its parade.

In his 22 years of service to the band, Mike has been to the Capital One Bowl in Orlando, Florida; Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta; Outback Bowl in Tampa, Florida; Holiday Bowl in San Diego; and several times to the Fiesta Bowl in Phoenix.

This year, Jarrod O’Donnell of Atlantic was the head director of the 191-member honor band that included 14 members from Creston. Other area schools represented this year were East Union, Murray, Southwest Valley and Bedford.

Top honors The band won Class AAA in the Holiday Bowl parade on Dec. 27 by sweeping all of the categories — best band, drum majors, brass, woodwinds, percussion and color guard.

The band also performed with several other high schools at halftime of the Holiday Bowl game in a mass band of 1,400 members. The performance included a 400-member dance

team team, fireworks and recorded music accompaniment piped through the stadium PA speakers. One four-hour rehearsal was held the day before at a local high school for that six-minute show after performances by marching bands from the bowl’s participating schools, Minnesota and Washington State.

(Minnesota won the game, 17-12.)

“They have a staff that runs the halftime show and we (directors) are not involved in that,” Mike said. “It was kind of a hot mess for awhile at rehearsal, but it looked and sounded really good by the time they presented it at halftime.”

Tyler said he enjoyed serving as drum major along the 1-mile parade route in San Diego, although his arms got heavy holding them up high for everyone to see his directing while marching backwards for 20 minutes.

“It was very exciting meeting everyone from all the different bands,” Tyler said.

“But I could tell at rehearsal the day before that I was not going to have that good of a time during the parade.

We’ve been out of marching band season for a couple of months, so we’re not really prepared to march in something like that.”

Summer camp Students audition for the band in May. A week-long camp is held in early August in Atlantic. Each day, awards are given for outstanding performers and this year’s honorees included Brittany Linch of Creston on trumpet, Olivia Hartman of Creston in guard, Anna Collins of East Union on clarinet, Clayton Davis of Creston on tuba/baritone saxophone and Jake Hitz of Creston in drumline.

“These kids are all talented,” Mike said. “But we’re working so hard in a short amount of time to prepare, that we like to honor those who are doing the best to set an example. Then, the following Wednesday, we always march in the Iowa State Fair parade.”

Mike likens it to the Iowa Shrine Bowl, a high school football all-star game drawing players from across the state. Coaches have a week to prepare players from various high school systems to prepare for a game.

“One year we got rained out of the Iowa State Fair parade,” Mike said. “Imagine having a week to prepare for a game, and then not being allowed to scrimmage. That’s what it was like for us to go down and march in the bowl parade that year. Then for the halftime show, these kids have two hours to rehearse before performing in front of 70,000 people the next day.

It’s not easy.”

Rieman Music of Creston has long been a sponsor for the holiday bowl trips, contributing a memory book for each band member. Over the years, the trips have included more tourist activities to provide the students cultural opportunities besides the demands of performing. This year’s itinerary (see related story) included stops at the USS Midway, Mission Beach, Sea World and a bus trip to Los Angeles to see Universal Studios, Griffith Observatory and the famous Hollywood sign.

Creston Community High School senior Tyler Peters serves as lead drum major for the Southwest Iowa Honor Marching Band during the Holiday Bowl parade in San Diego, Calif. Peters and Riley Seufert of Atlantic were judged as best drum majors in their class in the parade and the band gained overall honors in the class.

ious bowls over the years, Mike said he’s found himself standing next to Heisman Trophy winners Tony Dorsett and Ricky Williams, pro football stars Warren Sapp and Kurt Warner, and Neil Peart, drummer for the rock band Rush. This year, Tyler took a “selfie” picture with Larry Culpepper, who appears in Dr. Pepper television advertisements.

“You have cool experiences on these trips and the kids Special memories are great,” Mike said. “It’s alWhile on the field at var- ways fun to hear them tell you

what the highlight of the trip was from their perspective.”

Lisa said returning home from the final bowl trip was bittersweet, as well. She’ll enjoy not having the preparations conflict with her own CCHS winter guard’s season, but she’s had unforgettable experiences.

“Mike and I have both had a great time doing this,” she said. “It’s been wonderful. But, it’s time for us to let someone else take over and have those wonderful experiences.”

HINTS FROM HELOISE Color guard for printer paper

HOROSCOPE For Saturday, Jan. 7, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today your focus is on money, cash flow and possessions.

This is appropriate, because you are so high-viz now that it behooves you to look like you know what you’re doing.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today the Moon is in your sign, which makes you more emotional than usual. However, it also attracts a bit of good luck to you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Work alone or behind the scenes today, because this will suit you. Nevertheless, someone will seek your input about how to make something look more attractive.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A conversation with a female acquaintance will be important today. You might share an admiration for beautiful things - art galleries, parks, architectural buildings or museums.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It will be difficult to be private today. For some reason, people are talking about you. They even know personal details about your private life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Do something different today.

Break free from your daily routine. If you cannot travel, visit a new restaurant.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Tie up loose ends with banking details and shared property today. Too many loose ends will be a mental distraction for you. Not good.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)You have to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. This simply requires a little give-and-take.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Do what you can to tidy up things at work and home so that you feel more in control of your world. You also will be happier if you adopt a better health regimen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a playful, social day for you.

Accept invitations to parties. Take a long lunch. Enjoy the company of others, including fun activities with children.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Enjoy hiding at home today to catch your breath. Your fellow Aquarian Abraham Lincoln

said, “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)This is a chatty day. Enjoy talking to others, especially siblings, relatives and neighbors.

Yada, yada, yada.

YOU BORN TODAY You are hard-working, patient and loyal with a strong sense of direction. You value the respect of others. In 2017, something

you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish now to make room for something new. It also will be a year of service to others, plus a wonderful year to travel.

Get ready for a fresh, new cycle waiting in your future!

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: My school PRINTER can accommodate a large amount of paper, which I’m not used to. I was constantly checking the tray to see if I needed to add more. So to limit the number of times I checked for paper, I came up with this plan – or, as you would call it, a hint.

After each ream of paper I put in the printer, I place a colored sheet on top. I try not to put more than two reams at a time so that I can keep track of how many are in there. I will then place about 10 sheets behind the second colored paper as my final warning.

This helps me plan my printing jobs better, especially if I have class-size materials that I’m making. – P.W. in Montana SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com CHECK THE WEATHER Dear Heloise: Here’s a

travel hint for anyone new to it! I know because my son learned this the hard way!

When planning a traveling excursion, check the weather status during your stay so that you can pack appropriately. My son took a trip recently and packed like a true Texan!

When he got to his destination, it was chillier, and he came home with an extra coat, shoes and socks! – Kimberly Y. in San Antonio INK-BLOB HINT Dear Readers: Do you have pens that write nice and dark but when placed in a holder, cap down, the ink leaks out? Some of my purple pens (my all-time favorite color) do this.

Here are two hints for fixing this problem: You can lay them in a drawer to prevent them from dropping globs of ink. On the other hand, mine sit in a glass holder. In the holder, I simply placed a sheet of tissue inside before placing my pens on top, without the caps.

Now when they leak, it’s on the tissue, and when I do use them, the first mark isn’t a blob of ink either. Tissue at

the bottom of my pen jar – I can live with that! – Heloise STAINED BROWN PAPER Dear Heloise: Like many of your readers, I love coffee, but I find throwing away coffee filters to be wasteful!

My “hint” is that when I am finished making coffee, I carefully throw away the grounds and then set the filter on the windowsill to dry in the sun. I then save the filter, which is now a beautiful brown color, to use for future craft projects! – Vivian D., Tempe, Ariz.

REPAIRING A BASEBALL CAP Dear Readers: Don’t throw away a baseball cap just because the plastic snap in the back is broken. Go buy 3/4-inch elastic and then find a crafty person who also happens to have a sewing machine.

Kindly ask that person to measure, fit and sew the elastic to the cap, and that will fix the problem! Any crafty person who knows how to sew will know how to do this! – Heloise (c)2016 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

CLUB NEWS DAR

Twelve members of the Nancy McKay Harsh Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, met Saturday, Dec.10, at the home of Judith Wachter. Bonnie Riepe was her co-hostess. Wachter gave the program on her hobby, China painting. She explained the different mediums and paints used.

Wachter also demonstrated how the design is taken from an idea, through many stages of painting and firing until the artist gets the final product of a personalized treasure.

Roll call was “What is your hobby?”

Renae Beard was recognized as a new chapter member by Connie Kinkade and Regent Jane Briley. Highlights of the chapter moments included a brief history of the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., information on native American instruments, the signing of the American Constitution – a document that has endured longer than any other in the world and the role of women at Pearl Harbor at the events of Pearl Harbor and the days following.

Florence Lawhead shared her experiences following Pearl Harbor. As a teacher, she had to teach a wide variety of courses since so many men were drafted into service.

Toiletries brought to the meeting will be taken to Veterans’ Hospital in Des Moines before Christmas.

Members were reminded to record volunteer hours on the national DAR website. The state DAR conference will be April 27-29 in Ames. Volunteers for delegates so far are Connie Kinkade, Marjorie Kinkade, Jackie Beard and Pam Marvin.

the hometown faithful.

Southwestern returns home Saturday for an instate showdown with NJCAA Division I number 18 Indian Hills.

Tip off is set for 7 p.m. at Spartan Gym. The game is part of ‘Red Out’ day Saturday in Creston.

Southwestern last played at home on Nov. 9 against North Central Missouri College.

The Spartans have quickly assimilated themselves together nicely.

“It’s a whole lot of fun,” said sophomore Jamil Maddred. “It’s my first year playing with these guys. It’s been a breath-taking experience.”

The team has jelled beyond just their time in practice.

“We’ve come close even off the court,” Maddred said. “On and off the court,

we hang out with each other every day. We might go shopping for food, c l o t h e s . Maddred We’re always hanging out in each others rooms. We’re making sure everybody’s not feeling homesick, missing their friends.”

The chemistry has showed as the Spartans have won 12-of-15 games by double figures.

“We play in harmony,” Maddred said. “These guys are very unselfish. If somebody’s open, they usually find you. They make the extra pass.”

The strong bond has made the Spartans one of the more potent teams in the NJCAA. “We’re playing togeth-

er,” said sophomore Calvin Chambers. “Everybody’s trusting the coaches, trusting each other and playing together.”

Keeping that going in the second half will help the Spartans build on their perfect start.

“We’ve got to lock in, trust one another,” Chambers said. “It’s not about me or myself.”

The team-first aspect has the Spartans jelling effectively.

“Everybody’s buying in and doing what it takes to win,” said sophomore Jordan Johnson. “We have unselfishness one-through-10.”

Southwestern’s unselfishness offensively makes it difficult for teams to key in on one particular player.

“Everybody’s buying in, being unselfish,” Chambers said. “We’re playing as a

CARROLL — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg had to shuffle its lineup a bit around during Thursday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference quad due to various injuries and skin ailments.

The Panthers still found plenty of ways to dominate all three duals in sweeping the night.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg, ranked third in Class 2A, defeated Clarinda 559, Kuemper Catholic 57-15 and shut out St. Albert 82-0.

The Panthers were missing regulars at 106, 152 and 285 pounds.

The absences allowed others to step into the varsity lineup Those wrestlers competed well given the opportunity.

“The fact that they got the opportunity to wrestle in some tough matches was good for them,” said Creston/Orient-Macksburg coach Darrell Frain.

The entire team put together a good effort in its first action since the Kansas City Stampede on Dec. 1617.

“Every kid wrestled hard. They fought for every point,” Frain said. “When we did lose, we had a chance

Mustangs zone out Raiders in home win

By KALEB CARTER CNA sports reporter kacarter@cretsonnews

MURRAY — Kanye West would certainly appreciate Murray’s defensive performance as the Mustangs were “definitely in their zone” Thursday in a home win over Mount Ayr. After a hot offensive start for the Raiders, the Mustangs turned up the defensive heat, and pulled out a

57-44 win in nonconference action.

The 1-3-1 zone employed by the Mustangs constricted the Raider offense in the second quarter as Murray held Mount Ayr to just five points in the period.

The 61 points surrendered to Ankeny Christian Academy Tuesday were the most Murray had given up this season. Thursday was a return to a slower-paced game more closely resem-

bling what the Mustangs succeed in.

Offensive spurts from nearly all of the Mustang starters helped propel Murray to success in the second, third and fourth quarters.

Thane Simmons took advantage of the Raiders pulling the backside of the zone too far away from their basket, and scored several easy baskets in the second quarter. His eight second-quarter points helped Murray

jump on top.

“One of the things we’ve been trying to do is use our bigs more, Murray coach Darin Wookey said. “I thought both of those guys Bryce (Keller) and Thane (Simmons) both stepped up tonight.”

When Jack Jones followed up with a miss with a basket at the rim, Murray had extended its lead to 2114 about midway through the second quarter. Even

with just an eight-point halftime lead, things felt firmly in control for Murray.

Struggles against the Murray zone just proved too much early.

“I thought we didn’t attack very well in the second quarter,” Mount Ayr coach Bret Ruggles said. “We tried to go to an offense where we could maybe get some more motion. That helped a little BOYS | 8A

Mount Ayr girls fend off Murray challenge

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

MURRAY — Mount Ayr’s effort on the glass was not quite what coach Thad Streit wanted to see from the Class 2A fifth-ranked Raiderettes.

Still, the Class 2A fifthranked Raiderettes were able to outlast Murray 5140 Thursday in non-conference girls basketball at Jerry Brown Gym. Murray outrebounded Mount Ayr 39-31, but it felt like a much larger margin.

Often, the Lady Mustangs were beating the Raiderettes to the glass, particularly when Mount Ayr was on offense. “We got murdered on the boards,� said Mount Ayr coach Thad Streit. “That’s what killed us. We need to rebound better. That was ugly.�

The Lady Mustangs had their share of offensive rebounds.

Murray couldn’t effectively capitalize on its second looks.

Some of Murray’s shooting woes could be attributed to the presence of Mount Ayr post standout Kelcie Shields. Shields finished with eight blocked shots and altered numerous others. “Too much Kelcie, intimidating our shots inside,� said Murray coach Jerry Shields.

Murray had a couple of opportunities late in the third quarter to cut Mount Ayr’s lead to one possession, but could not.

The Raiderettes capitalized offensively and started to pull away. Mount Ayr led 38-29 after three quarters. “We missed a lot of shots inside,� coach Shields said. “If we could’ve made them, it would’ve been a different ball game. That’s why you play the game.�

Murray cut it back to five, 40-35, halfway through the fourth, but a Kelcie Shields bucket and Macy Larsen triple pushed the lead back to double figures, 47-35, with three and a half minutes to go.

team.�

The Spartans are a stronger team for having played on the road for two straight months. “Now that we’ve survived it, it was really good for our team,� said Southwestern coach Todd Lorensen. “Anytime you can go on the road and win games, that really prepares you for a conference season. Our league’s as good as anybody’s in the nation, so to be prepared in that capacity will prepare us down the road.�

Southwestern opens Iowa Community College Athletic Conference play on Jan. 14 against Kirkwood at 3 p.m. The Spartans then host Pure Prep Academy on Jan. 18 at 7 p.m. After a trip to Iowa Falls to face Ellsworth on Jan. 21, the Spartans are home again on Jan. 25 against DMACC. The Spartans have come back from nearly three weeks off ready for the second half of the season. “You could tell the guys were rejuvenated,� LoMoulton-Udell Wrestling Hawkeye 10 Creston/OrientMacksburg, East Marshall, Johnston, Norwalk, Solon, Webster City at Marshalltown AHSTW, Alta-Aurelia, Ankeny, Bondurant-Farrar, DenisonSchleswig, Griswold, Humboldt, Nodaway Valley, Red Oak, Southwest Valley at Rollin Dyer Tournament at Atlantic Clarinda Academy, East Mills, Harlan, Kuemper Catholic, Lawton-Bronson, Maple Valley-Anthon-Oto, Missouri Valley, Platteview (Neb.), St. Albert, Treynor, West Harrison, West Monona, Woodbine at Tri-Center.

rensen said. “At the same time you could forget about a lot of things in two weeks.

We’re just doing some of the basic stuff we’ve preached from day one and redeveloped those habits and get prepared. We’ll get a scouting report in place in the next couple of days for Indian Hills.�

Indian Hills is a traditional power in Division I. The Warriors (13-2) have won six straight.

Among the Warriors’ wins this season is one over Kirkwood, Southwestern’s next opponent.

Lorensen expects his team to be tested in their secondto-last nonconference contest against a perennial NJCAA Division I power. “To put it in perspective, if you’re talking about the BCS programs, you’re talking about a Kansas or a North Carolina. That’s the kind of tradition they have.�

Saturday’s game starts a stretch of three straight at home and four of five in Creston.

Coming back home will be good for the team. “It will be a good environment for everybody,� Cham-

bers said. “Everybody’s happy to play at home and get a win.�

Playing at home is a nice change from the road trips the Spartans have been on. “It’s nice from a daily operations — you don’t have to worry about getting a bus here, hopping on it, taking your uniforms with you,� Lorensen said. “You get your shootaround in, go home and relax for an hour or two and come back to the office and get ready to go for that night.�

Lorensen has fielded a number of questions from the community wanting to know more about the team.

Being able to showcase the team in front of the patrons in Creston will be good for the team. “Home is good,� Lorensen said. “I’m excited to be here.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions, calls, text messages from people in the community. Hopefully we get a great crowd out here, not only for the college itself, but for our kids. “They’ve worked really hard. They deserve that type of atmosphere.�

to win. That’s what we ask out of them. We felt good about every kid that walked onto the mat.”

Tough practices since Kansas City showed in the effort the Panthers gave Thursday.

“We had hard practices out of the break,” Frain said.

“That’s what we were asking out of the guys — to step up and wrestle their butts off as

hard as they could.”

Even in the few matches Creston/Orient-Macksburg didn’t win, they were still in those matches, Frain said.

UP NEXT — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg travels to Marshalltown Saturday for the Marshalltown Dual Team Tournament.

Among the teams in the field include Class 2A second-ranked Solon, Johnston, Norwalk and Webster City.

• WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE

YOU’D LIKE TO SEE IN CRESTON: I really love Creston. It’s a great community.

If I could add one thing to Creston, I would add Qdoba.

BASKETBALL TEAM OUTSIDE OF SWCC? I am a North Carolina Tar Heel fan for a couple of reasons. First and foremost would be Michael Jordan. And then, also, Roy Williams, who recruited a lot of Iowa guys has made that even more of a love affair for me.

SHOOTING CONTEST, YOU OR SWCC WOMEN’S COACH ADDAE HOUSTON? Wow, that’s a tough one. Coach Houston was a heck of a player. But, I’m a confident man.

If I had to put some money on the line, I’d take myself. And, I’m sure coach Houston would take himself, as well.

• BEST MEMORY AS SWCC HEAD COACH: We’ve had

some good things go on here. The moment that stands out the most is when we beat Kirkwood at home last year. I think it was the first time as a staff and as a program we realized we’re able to do the things we want to do on a regional level and a national level.

• WHAT AGE WERE YOU WHEN YOU

COURT: CONT. FROM | 1A

make their first court appearance Friday, a day after they were also charged with kidnapping and battery in connection to the attack. The beating was captured on cellphone video by one of the assailants and has since viewed millions of times on social media.

“This should never have happened,” David Boyd, the victim’s brother-in-law, said at a brief news conference in suburban Chicago. He said the victim was traumatized

but doing as well as could be expected.

Neal Strom, a family spokesman, told The Associated Press the victim has had “profound emotional and physical disabilities throughout his life.” He did not elaborate.

Police said drug use may have been involved in the incident. The video shows the two female suspects smoking cigars that authorities “presume to be blunts” while the victim is tied up and racial slurs and references “to his mental capacity starts coming out,” Chicago Police Commander Kevin Duffin said.

The uproar over the beating has intensified the glare on Chicago after a bloody year of violent crime and protests against Mayor Rahm Emanuel and a police department that has been accused of brutality and hushing-up wrongdoing. The department has also been the subject of a long civil-rights investigation by the Justice Department, which is expected to report its findings soon.

The incident also stirred emotions still raw after a nasty presidential election campaign that split the nation. The case heightened political tensions

on social media, with some conservatives suggesting it was linked to the Black Lives Matter movement. Police said there was no indication of any connection.

The cruelty of the attack and the intense social media exposure prompted President Barack Obama to respond, calling it “despicable.”

“I take these things very seriously,” he told Chicago’s WBBM-TV on Thursday. But he said the incident does not mean that race relations have gotten worse.

“We see visuals of racial tensions, violence and so forth

because of smartphones and the internet and media ... a lot of the problems that have been there a long time,” he said.

Chicago police initially said the youth was singled out because he has “special needs,” not because he was white.

But authorities later said the charges resulted from both the suspects’ use of racial slurs and their references to the victim’s disability.

Cook County prosecutors identified the suspects as Brittany Covington and Tesfaye Cooper, both of Chicago, and Jordan Hill, of suburban Carpentersville. All are 18. A T:5.125”

fourth suspect was identified as Covington’s 24-year-old sister, Tanishia Covington, also of Chicago.

Excerpts of the video posted by Chicago media outlets show the victim with his mouth taped shut and slumped in a corner of a room. At least two assailants are seen cutting off his sweatshirt, and others taunt him off camera. The video shows a wound on the top of the man’s head. One person pushes the man’s head with his or her foot.

A red band also appears to be around the victim’s hands.

He was tied up for four to five hours, authorities said.
