As everything fell into place for the collaboration to become a reality, Smith started sending mock-ups to Fry-Schnormeier.

The 90-foot canvas of the Creston Municipal Pool’s front wall presented a huge challenge for Smith, as it was easily the largest canvas he’d painted.

Once he began working on the wall this week, Smith realized he’d need to make some changes from his mock-ups. A new character was added to the mural at the last minute as a spot opened up on the wall.

The mural includes four characters and a dog on a surfboard on the east side of the building and four more characters and Pete the

Manuel Allen Silva Jr., who was convicted of two counts of third-degree sexual abuse in October, was sentenced Monday at Union County Courthouse.

Silva had originally filed a motion in arrest of judgment and motion for new trial, but the motions were denied. After the hearing for the motions, Silva was sentenced.

“He was sentenced to 10 years in prison,” said Union County Attorney Tim Kenyon.

The prison sentences for both counts are to run concurrently, and Silva may be eligible for parole before the sentence is complete based on good conduct time and other credits.

“Not only did he get sentenced to prison, but when he is released, he will be subject to additional rules and restraints,” Kenyon said.

Silva must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and complete a sex offender treatment program.

If he fails to complete the program, he may not receive earned time credit during his incarceration. Silva will also be required to submit to DNA profiling and electronic monitoring after his release.

Silva is also required to pay court costs, crime victim compensation in an amount to be determined and all counseling required for the victim of his original offense. He will also not be able to have further contact with the victim for a period of five years.

Keith Smith always wanted his artwork to bring people together.

Early this week, he achieved that goal as handfuls of Creston Community High School students gathered at Creston Municipal Pool to help Smith bring a 90-foot mural on the front wall of the pool to life.

Smith, a Creston native now living in Chicago, planned for the project to take three days to complete.

Instead, Smith and CCHS students endured two grueling days of heat and constant work to complete the project by the end of Tuesday in order to beat Wednesday’s rain and storm.

By the end of Tuesday, Smith was left with sunburns, cramping shoulders and a numb index finger from spray-painting dot after dot on top of his mural.

COLLEGE NEWS Buena Vista University

No death notices were submitted for publication today.

10th anniversary John Wayne birthday celebration planned WINTERSET – On May 26, 2007, fans from all over the world gathered in Winterset to celebrate the 100th birthday of the most popular movie star of all time in the heartland town where he was born. The weekend included film screenings, a lavish parade, Wild West show performances, Hollywood celebrities, music and the unveiling of a magnificent bronze statue of the iconic actor, a gift from 30 Wayne family members who were in attendance.

That tradition continues this year with the 10th anniversary John Wayne birthday celebration to be held May 26-27.

It’s impossible to celebrate a screen legend without movies and, following a complete restoration, Winterset’s venerable Iowa Theater will reopen in time to present John Wayne on the big screen where he belongs. Joseph Malham, author of “John Ford: Poet in the Desert,” will introduce such film classics as “Stagecoach,” “Fort Apache”

and “El Dorado.”

The internationally famous Wells Fargo stagecoach will be the featured attraction of the returning all-horse parade which will be televised by RFD-TV’s “Best of America on Horseback” starring Tom Seay.

Over the years, John Wayne Birthplace has been visited by many of the actor’s friends and costars including President Ronald Reagan and film legend Maureen O’Hara. This year’s headliner is singer/actor Johnny Crawford who starred as Chuck Connors’ son in the television series “The Rifleman” and appeared with Wayne in “El Dorado.” He will perform and sign autographs at the annual benefit dinner and auction.

For a schedule of these and other events, including tours of the John Wayne Birthplace and Museum, winner of the 2016 Iowa Tourism Outstanding Attraction Award, visit www. johnwaynebirthplace.museum or call 515-462-1044.

Seat belt myth busting From May 22 through June 4, state and local law enforcement agencies across the nation, as well as Iowa, will be stepping up seat belt enforcement. Memorial Day weekend kicks off the busy summer season with many more families on the roads.

Iowa’s seat belt usage rate of 94 percent is one of the highest in the nation, but the remaining six percent of vehicle occupants account for approximately half of all traffic fatalities. Seat belts are the single most effective way to survive in a crash.

The Department of Public Safety and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau would like to bust some seat belt myths taken from 2015 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: • Pickup trucks will not protect you in a crash if you are not wearing a seat belt. Sixty percent of pickup truck occupants who were killed were not buckled.

That compares to 42 percent

of passenger car occupants.

• Where you sit in the vehicle does not matter. Forty-seven percent of all front-seat passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes were not wearing seat belts, but 57 percent of those killed in back seats were unrestrained.

• Country driving is not safer. Nationwide, there were 12,797 traffic fatalities on rural roads compared to 8,262 on urban streets. Fifty percent of those killed in rural crashes were unbuckled compared to 46 percent in urban crashes.

• Young drivers are not invincible and they are dying at a disproportionate rate because they are not wearing seat belts, especially young males.

Remember, the habit of buckling up is as simple as turning on a light switch. It should be an automatic action for you and everyone in your vehicle.

Day and night, front seat and back, “Click It or Ticket!” You just may save a life.

STORM LAKE – Ryan Jensen, a sophomore history education major from Bridgewater, performed alongside the Buena Vista University (BVU) Concert Choir March 26 over spring break at Carnegie Hall in New York City, New York.

“The experience provided students the well-deserved opportunity to showcase their hard work and talent on an internationally recognized stage,” said Dr. Merrin Guice, assistant professor of music and director of vocal music at BVU. The choir spent their 2015-16 school year preparing to compete in the Riva Del Garda International Choir Competition in Riva Del Garda, Italy, and won first place in the mixed repertoire competition there and second place in the sacred competition. During that international competition, a recording was made and sent to Manhattan Concert Productions for audition and review. After listening to the submission, the company invited BVU’s Concert Choir to perform a spotlight debut performance at the opening of a choral-orchestral concert of the Schubert “Mass in G” in New York City. The choir also performed three other pieces under the direction of Guice.

“This was a highly selective process, and we are honored to have been the only choral ensemble to perform,” Guice said. “This was a special event in the life of the music department and BVU.” To prepare for their Carnegie Hall performance, the choir rehearsed every day, sometimes twice a day, throughout the week while they were in New York City.

“To be chosen and featured to perform on a worldclass stage was awe-inspiring and humbling,” Guice said.

“The experience wouldn’t have been possible without the tireless work and dedication of our students.”

In addition to the choir’s Carnegie Hall appearance, the group also had the chance to perform March 22 at University of Massachusetts Lowell due to the connections Guice made while she was attending a 2015 conductor’s conference in Italy.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: As a WORLD TRAVELER, I’ve learned a few tricks and tips to help you stay safe and sound on a trip to any part of the world. Believe me, I’ve accumulated a lot of frequent-flyer miles, so perhaps I can save you from some awkward moments. * If you’re on a flight, boat or train and motion sickness is a problem, try a drink of half ginger ale and half club soda.

It will help with the nausea. * Learn to travel with one suitcase (25 or 28 inches) and one carry-on. Life will be much easier with less to carry. * Forget to pack something? Check with the hotel before running to the drugstore. Many housekeeping departments have extra toothbrushes, razors, etc., and they’re usually free. * If it requires ironing, you’re better off not packing it. * Stick to one basic color, such as black, gray or navy blue, then take other items that complement that color.

Example, a navy pantsuit with pink or red blouse/tie. * When you’re in a foreign country, ask locals where they eat dinner or lunch, and give it a try.

* In your carry-on, always pack sunscreen, a hat, a few basic toiletries, any medications you take, a pair of flipflops or a pair of foldable slippers, a photocopy of your passport, camera charger and some clean underwear. You’ll thank me if your luggage is lost! – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise. com ALMOST FREE Dear Heloise: With so many hotels, restaurants and amusement parks going up in price, I’ve found some free or inexpensive things to do with my children this coming summer: * There’s always the beach at the ocean or a public lake.

Pack a lunch with fresh fruit and sandwiches, and you have an all-day excursion. * Visit a neighboring town that’s having some kind of event or festival. New sights and sounds are always fun. * Contact a local library to see what it offers. Some have free summer reading

SUDOKU

programs that include workshops, movies, theater for children, puppet shows and much more. * Plant a garden together.

It’s also a learning session for kids to see where their food comes from, and kids can pick the things they grow and eat them. * See a movie. Many theaters have family-friendly movies on weekday mornings for kids at greatly reduced prices. * Some of the chain hardware stores have free workshops on the first Saturday of the month for kids to make a craft that they can keep.

– Samantha E., Evansville, Ind. MATH LESSON Dear Heloise: Here’s a great way to get your kids interested in math: Give them some money – not too much – then take them to a dollar store and let them buy what they want, but do not give them additional funds. They can spend only what they have. It’s amazing how fast they learn math as they calculate what things cost with tax. – Mary Beth D., Concord, N.H. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

cat on the west side of the building. Two mandalas provide “inviting symbols” on each side of the entrance to the building.

Tied together Smith spent all four years of high school leading the fundraising effort to bring the skate park to McKinley Park.

The skate park was eventually built in the summer of 2008, the same summer Smith moved to Chicago.

It was disappointing for Smith to not be able to enjoy the skate park as much as he would have liked after spearheading the fundraising effort. But, painting such a large mural right next to the skate park tied everything together for Smith.

Smith posted photos of the completed project to social media Tuesday evening and his phone continually rang with notifications as people heaped praise upon him while he was at dinner with his mother, Carol Smith.

“It’s overwhelming. I can’t even describe it,” he said. “Going from these tiny sketches on paper to this huge 90-foot wall is unreal.

It’s really gratifying to know people had such positive feedback with it. To be able to do it in my hometown is an even better feeling. And to do it right next to the skate

park, because during high school I helped fundraise to get that skate park built. To know I put that skate park there was amazing enough, and now that I have a mural next to it is a double whammy. I can’t explain how amazing it feels to leave that here in a town I was raised in and inspired me to do what I continue to do.”

‘You are beautiful’ Smith currently works as a production assistant for the “You Are Beautiful” project in Chicago, scouting locations to place installations and working on production in shop.

The “You Are Beautiful” project installs a simple message all across Chicago – “You Are Beautiful.”

His first stop once he arrived in Creston Sunday evening was uptown Creston, installing a “You Are Beautiful” painting along a wall in an alleyway on North Maple Street.

“Oh man, it meant a lot,” Smith said about bringing “You Are Beautiful” to his hometown. “Even in Chicago, a lot of the murals have been up more than 10 years, so knowing it will be there for awhile is great. It’s right uptown. You can see it from the train. When the parade

es he installed in Creston this week serve as an inspiration to Creston’s youth.

In high school, Smith focused on black and white portraits as he was afraid to experiment with color. Since moving to Chicago, he’s learned to trust himself and incorporate color to his pieces.

The mural on the wall of the pool building displays a mix of both styles, with black and white characters surrounded by splashes and swirls of color.

“I want to inspire more younger people to step out of their boundaries to be creative and be expressive and swirl around on a canvas and do whatever you want to do,” he said. “I want people to be instantly happy from the brightness of it. I want people to have fun and take photos in front of it and enjoy it.”

Smith expressed his gratitude toward the city of Creston – not only for the support he received while back in his hometown this week, but also for inspiring him to follow his passion for art.

“Stay in touch with your community that helped you come up. You never know what kind of impact that will leave,” Smith said. “This is indescribable. I can’t put it into words. It’s definitely the best feeling I’ve ever had making NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BY artwork.”

Fry-Schnormeier said this week was a great opportunity for her students to work with Smith, who has been exploding on the Chicago art scene lately. Smith has entered his art in numerous shows and has began live painting at multiple events per month, even having live painted at several music festivals.

“It’s amazing for them to have this chance to see someone who started off at Creston High School, who has been able to take what he learned from there and go off Fryon his little Schnormeier adventure to Chicago. He’s making a living as an artist,” Fry-Schnormeier said. “I’m just really grateful for this opportunity to work with Keith.

PANTHER GIRLS STATE TRACK AND FIELD

Panthers look for better Friday at state

By KALEB CARTER CNA sports reporter kacater@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES — No one came away entirely satisfied.

Of the six Creston Panthers girls competing to medal in Class 3A state championship track and field competition at Drake Stadium on Thursday, each left wanting to have found a way to be a bit better.

Hannah Hood did not place in the discus. She scratched twice and threw a best of 107 feet, 3 inches.

Breanna Wallace leaped 4-10 in the high jump, but did not clear the 5-0 threshold necessary to propel her closer to contention.

The members of the 4x800 relay of MaKenna Hudson, Jesse Vicker, Rachel Shepherd and Brielle Baker also found themselves discontent and emotional at the end of the race.

They each feel that they might have had more to

offer in terms of effort, so the result was disappointing. That result will linger as they find motivation for next year.

“We really want to push ourselves next year because of that and try to stay with the people in front of us,” Vicker said.

Shepherd was more visibly overwhelmed by emotion than her teammates, but found the right words to capture her feelings after what will likely be her last race as she is an alternate CRESTON | 3S CNA photo by KALEB CARTER

Members of the Creston girls 4x800 team, from left, sophomore Brielle Baker, senior Rachel Shepherd, sophomore Jesse Vicker and freshman MaKenna Hudson embrace following Thursday’s race in Class 3A action at the Co-ed State Track Meet at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.

The quartet placed 17th in a time of 10:10.70.

HURRY, THESE ARE LIMITED TIME OFFERS!

Sharing familiar values

The state’s top-rated offensive line recruit in the class of 2018 has made his college selection.

Creston’s own Trevor Downing decided that he was ready to be a part of Matt Campb e l l ’ s Downing “Process.”

Downing plans to join the Iowa State Cyclones football team while furthering his education by pursuing an Ag Business degree, beginning in the fall of 2018.

Downing’s verbal commitment, which is not binding, means that he intends on taking his brute strength to the Cyclone offensive line where he is likely play guard in the future.

A 6-5, 290-pound junior and soon to be rising senior, Downing is just happy to have the process over with.

Social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook blew up with coverage about how big of a pickup this was for Iowa State’s program.

National recruiting services like 247 sports claiming Downing’s signing was the biggest for the program since Iowa State signed Urbandale native, and current senior star receiver, Allen Lazard several years ago.

Coaches such as Campbell and offensive coordinator/ offensive line coach Tom Manning told Downing they like his nastiness while finishing blocks in between whistles and his easy-going nature when off the field.

“Easy-going ... ,” Downing said. “Then I just flip the fuse. That’s what they like.”

Iowa State came after Downing hard, winning out on his future football career

over the likes of offers from Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas State and Missouri.

For the Panther, Iowa State’s eagerness to establish a relationship won him over. He has felt at ease and filled with excitement in his visits to Ames. The proximity of Ames to Creston, a shade under two hours away, was another draw.

“It just feels like home to me. Iowa State does. That’s huge. My mom and dad felt really comfortable,” Downing said.

Downing feels that the image and actions that the program puts forth and practices coincides with what he believes.

“They pretty much have the same values as my family, that’s for sure,” Downing said.

The Cyclone coaching staff went above and beyond to make Downing’s family feel included. His family members have had in-depth conversations with the coaching staff and with employees of the university, who showed Downing around ISU’s student-run farm.

That was a big selling point for a farm kid like Downing. No school could offer quite what Iowa State did in that department.

When it was obvious how much Lesa Downing, Trevor’s mother, liked the school, that was just another drop in the bucket.

Downing’s great-grandfather Paul, an agricultural patriarch within the family, had reason to become even more of an Iowa State fan when they started pursuing Trevor intenely as a sophomore. Reading letters from the football coaches filled Paul with pride.

Paul Downing passed away in mid-April at the age of 95, but in Downing’s mind, a Cyclone-loving soul remains.

“He’s definitely probably smiling down tonight, that’s for sure,” Downing said.

Just like Creston natives are smiling at the thought of one of their own making the decison to spread the town’s influence and values to Ames.

Wolverines and Raiderettes Hood, Hulett win coveted CCHS athletic awards medal on day one at state

By LARRY PETERSON the shot put and discus for CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Hannah Hood and Kadon Hulett were recently announced as recipients of two special athletic awards given to Creston Community High School seniors each year.

Hulett received the Bernie Saggau Award, and Hood was presented the Kim Bishop Award d u r i n g Hood the athletics portion of the Creston High School awards ceremony May 5.

The Saggau award is named for the retired executive director of the Iowa High School Athletic Hulett Association, who devoted much of his life to building high standards of character and leadership in Iowa high school athletics.

Hulett was a varsity athlete in football, wrestling, track and baseball during his Panther career. He received the award that states: “Presented annually to the graduating student who best exemplifies a patriotic spirit, with strong religious and moral convictions, living and professing the qualities of honesty, integrity, and sportsmanship; believing that both games and life should be conducted by the rules.”

Hulett plans to play football at Northwest Missouri State.

Hood, a member of the volleyball and track and field teams at CCHS, along with softball prior to suffering shoulder injuries, received the award in honor of the late Kim Bishop. A standout student at Creston High School, Bishop was also an all-around athlete and gymnast. The award is presented annually to a CCHS female athlete who displays outstanding citizenship and sportsmanship.

Hood, competing this week in the Coed State Track and Field Meet in Des Moines, plans to throw

the University of Nebraska-Omaha track and field team.

PANTHER GIRLS TENNIS

Season comes to end for Panthers Team learns much in a trying campaign n

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

NORWALK — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg’s relatively young girls tennis team went through its share of trying moments this season.

As the team very green on experience at the varsity level went through the season, coaches Kevin Cooper and Amanda Plymale had to remind them regularly everything would turn out alright.

While the Panthers competed hard, the end results were not quite what everyone was hoping for.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s individual season came to an end at Thursday’s individual team regional at Norwalk High School’s tennis courts.

The Panthers two singles and two doubles teams all lost their first-round matches and were eliminated from the tournament.

A season after qualifying a pair of doubles teams for state, the Panthers will not have a representative at either singles or doubles competition at state.

“The kids had high expectations for this year, we did too,” Cooper said. “We al-

for the 4x200 and the distance medley.

“I thought for sure coming to this season I was going to be a sprinter and the distances were kind of in the back,” Shepherd said. “I’m honestly so proud and running every single 4x800 with them (her teammates) this year … it’s just really awesome.”

Shepherd has all faith in her teammates who will return to the Panthers next season. She expects them to motivate her in her journey to Morningside College as

ways have the same expectations. Our expectations are always to compete as hard as we can in the Hawkeye 10 and qualify kids for state. We just didn’t do that this year.”

The Panthers never could find their groove Thursday, or throughout the season, a sign of an inexperienced team.

“Consistency is what we’re missing,” Cooper said. “We look like a young, inconsistent team. We’ve got to get to the point where the unforced errors aren’t happening. We had too many unforced errors.”

As the unforced errors mounted, so did the mental struggles to stay in the match.

“The kids are dealing with frustration all day,” Cooper said. “It’s where they’ve been this year. We just keep telling them everything’s OK, everything’s OK. We’re behind the scale right now. It doesn’t mean it can’t be moved forward over the summer or winter or spring next year.”

This season’s team had to grow up quickly in spots they had not been at in the past.

“They were maybe up a spot they weren’t ready for or that spot took them awhile to get to that spot,” Cooper said.

Playing up spots in the lineup they’re not used to was a challenge, and is a challenge no matter the

sport, Cooper noted.

“It’s just like Megan (Haley) to be number one as a sophomore. That’s like being the starting quarterback for a sophomore, or the starting pitcher for softball or the point guard,” Cooper said. ‘There’s a learning curve. It can be frustrating. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, whatever sport you’re doing, the learning curve can be frustrating.”

Those that return next season can do so knowing that their challenges will not seem as daunting in 2018.

“For the kids coming back, it will never be harder than this year,” Cooper said.

The emotions the team showed was a good sign in Cooper’s mind.

“The kids are frustrated.

That’s good,” Cooper said.

“If they weren’t frustrated, I’d be more concerned.

They’re all competitive kids.”

Cooper anticipates good things from those that work hard this summer.

“I’ve had some kids go nuts during the summer, work hard,” Cooper said.

“Some kids will look at it and work had and try to get there again next year. That’s all we can do.”

Cooper looks for good things to come from his team’s members in other sports going forward.

“We want our kids who play tennis to be multi-

ple-sport athletes. For some of them, softball season just started (Thursday). They’re 100 percent committed to that,” Cooper said. “Some of the kids are like, well, I don’t have softball. Some of them are going to work hard this summer. Some kids will get ready for volleyball.”

Leah Stowe, Mattie Wheeler and Madison Callahan were three of Creston’s seniors this season, along with Rebecca Coleman, Macy Evans and Livi Hartman.

“Those girls, the seniors that we’ve had, waited behind some other girls to play varsity,” Cooper said. “I’m glad they got to experience that, glad they got to come here and this, do the overnight trip, the Hawkeye 10.

I’m glad they got to experience it.”

For those players returning, their work between now and next season will be key.”

“Hopefully we can keep all the kids coming back, working and enjoying it,” Cooper said. “We do this for fun. Hopefully, they stay out.”

well.

The group of four shared a long embrace several minutes after the race, with each teammate showing to anyone around that they cared for one another.

Losing Shepherd’s presence will be tough to overcome, but Creston’s running leaders will have to employ the same characteristics that push the Panthers forward.

“We’re just going to miss having her (Shepherd) and Hannah next as leaders,” Baker said. “But I know we’re going to have other people step up and we’re going to learn to lead.”

It’s not all gloom and doom for the Panthers.

Creston boasts several more participants who will look to bring home medals this weekend.

Hood will be the presumptive favorite in the shot put that starts at 2 p.m. today (Friday). Creston’s remaining three relays will also be in action. The distance medley at 2:40 p.m., and the 4x200 will race at 4:30 p.m. will compete in timed finals.

The Panthers will run their 4x400 preliminary at 7 p.m.

Should they post a top-eight time, they’ll advance on to Saturday’s final to end the meet.

same state race for the second time, came in eighth, about a second behind Breheny.

Both set personal records and broke the 10-minute mark for the first time in their careers. Breheny came in at 9:58.47 and Wallace was right behind at 9:59.54.

“We’re really proud of their efforts and this is something they’ve been trying to accomplish,” Nodaway Valley coach Darrell Burmeister said.

Wallace was strong enough at the end to fend off several challengers.

“It felt amazing and I knew those kids were coming, we had to hold them off,” Wallace said. “Just ended up in the right spots I guess.”

Though Wallace thought his start was bad, he was pleasantly surprised to see where he was several laps in.

“I was like ‘wow, I’m actually in the top eight.’

It surprised me,” Wallace said.

Both Breheny and Wallace found themselves in the top five early on in the race as both jostled for position. Breheny overtook Wallace several laps in, and the two kept within several strides of one another the rest of the way.

“It feels great. It’s nice

to know that we’re giving something to the time and that we ran our best race and that we medaled,” Breheny said.

Burmeister was pleased to see how well both finished the race.

“They’re both physically stronger and in the past they might not have had that,” Burmeister said.

Breheny will race in Saturday’s 1,600 meter run.

Nodaway Valley’s 4x800 relay team went from eighth to first on Jared Corder’s third leg before falling back to sixth in the heat and 14th overall in a time of 8:26.64, just off a season-best time.

Mount Ayr’s Bailey Anderson was the lone other area athlete to place, as she took eighth in the 400 meter dash in a time of 1:01.00.

Diagonal’s Maddie Lohmann ran a personal record for the second consecutive time, running an 11:33.50 for 17th place in the Class 1A 3,000 meter run.

Hunter Haveman and Cal Daughton posted times of 23.32 and 23.51 respectively in the 200 meter dash and did not qualify for the finals.

East Union and Mount Ayr both ran less than a half second slower than their respective season bests in the shuttle hurdle, but the Eagles finished ninth in 1:11.02 and the Raiderettes ended up 11th in 1:11.35. Neither quali-
