Union County Board of Supervisors approved a five-year roads project plan proposed by Union County Engineer Zach Gunsolley in April. The plan consists of several road projects to begin in fiscal year (FY) 2018, while the rest begin in FY2019.

“These roads were selected because of their condition. Some of them, though, are in good condition, and that’s why I picked them, because of their condition, because you have to keep a good road good,” Gunsol-

There are three main projects to begin in FY2018, and 19 projects to be started in FY2019.

“Due to the construction program needing prepared two months into my position here at Union County, time was not available to program projects in fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022,” Gunsolley said. “Next year, I will have a year under my belt and I’ll know the system better and be able to program projects in those years.”

All road projects will still allow access to local properties during construction.

Union County Supervisors 5-year secondary roads plan The Union County Board of Supervisors approved a five-year plan compiled by Union County Engineer Zach Gunsolley in April. Here is the list, organized by fiscal year (FY), including location and approximate cost.

Creston Community School District administrators, certified staff and classified staff will all receive a 1.6 percent wage increase after the CCSD Board of Education unanimously approved the increase during Monday’s regular meeting.

The 1.6 percent increase comes at a time when the district has cut nearly $1.5 million out of its budget over the past two years, with more reductions expected in the future.

According to CCSD Superintendent Steve McDermott, the 1.6 percent increase was totaled and averaged so each principal in the district would receive the same amount, which was the same approach taken with teachers.

“With the change in legislation and Chapter 20, that really changed the whole environment for bargaining,” McDermott said. “We looked at our own budget, and of course we’re in a time we’ve made reductions McDermott and we’ll continue to. We also didn’t feel like it would be right to absolutely freeze everyone’s salaries at

“WE LOOKED at our own budget, and of course we’re in a time we’ve made reductions and we’ll continue to. We also didn’t feel like it would be right to absolutely freeze everyone’s salaries at this point.”

this point, given the changes to Chapter 20 and a lot of the master contract language that has been removed through that process.”

McDermott said a “considerable amount” of the previous master contract language is being moved into an employee handbook, which will serve as a set of guidelines for staffing issues.

Certified staff, which includes teachers and the teachers’ union, will receive a 1.6 percent total package increase that amounts to $914 total for each teacher.

“Our unions have been very cooperative and understanding and great to work with,” said McDermott.

“One other point I’d like to make that’s extremely important to me, our union folks take care of younger SCHOOL | 2A

Storms pummel central US, as tornadoes kill at least 2 ELK CITY, Okla. (AP) — Storms whipped through a wide swath of the nation’s midsection, giving rise to tornadoes that flattened a Wisconsin mobile home park and an Oklahoma subdivision and killing at least two people and injuring dozens of others.

The storms hit Wisconsin late Tuesday afternoon and into the evening, leveling the Prairie Lake Estate Mobile Park near Chetek, which is about 110 miles northeast of Minneapolis.

Mark Tyson said he and his wife Robin were huddled behind a living room chair as the storm hit Tues-

day evening when an entire wall of their mobile home suddenly came flying at them.

“I thought we were done,” said Tyson. Shards of glass were flying at them like bullets, Tyson told the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram.

“When your house comes apart like that, there’s no place to go. I thought this is it.”

A 46-year-old man was killed at the trailer park and at least 25 other people were injured, according to the Barron County Sheriff’s STORMS | 10A

employees. They’re worried about the younger teachers.

Our support staff, they’re worried about newer employees.”

For classified staff – paraeducators, bus drivers and food service employees, among others – the 1.6 percent increase was applied to hourly rates as evenly as possible across the board.

Since classified staff includes several different groups of people paid at different hourly rates, McDermott said it administration did the best it could to make it a uniform increase.

While the 1.6 percent increase is not much, McDermott said he wanted to give staff some kind of increase.

“It’s an increase, but it’s way below what maybe past agreements would have been,” he said. “In years past, the state average increases were somewhere between 3.25 and 3.5 percent.

Here, we didn’t do that last year. We weren’t able to. I think we were 2.86 last year.”

In other CCSD news: • Because of the resignation of third-grade teacher Lakyn Mathews, who has accepted a position in the Clarke Community School District, Cassandra Parks will be offered a contract for 2017-18.

Parks’ contract was terminated because of reduction in force during the April board meeting as part of budget cuts. At the time, McDermott expressed an interest on the district’s part to keep Parks if an opening arose and an interest on Parks’ behalf to stay in the district.

“She’s actually staying now,” McDermott said Monday. “Cassie will stay right where she’s at. Next year, second grade will be four sections. We had five second-grade teachers. But, we need a third-grade teacher. So, one of those folks will need to go to third grade for a year. The next year, they can sure go back to that, because we’ll have five sections of second grade again and third grade will have four sections again.”

Creamery Road Creamery Road northwest of Afton is one of the first on the plan, and also the most expensive overall. The project is estimated to cost about $1.6 million.

Creamery Road was last updated in 1987, when it was crack and seated, followed by an asphalt overlay. Aside from any crack filling since then, there have been no road surface updates to Creamery Road.

“If you drive the road, it looks a lot different than when you get out and look at the road. If you stop and get out next to the road, there are holes in the existing surface like this (about wedding ring size) where a rock has popped out because the asphalt has eroded away from the rock and the rock dislodges,” Gunsolley said. “That means the road is getting thinner over time and wearing away.”

Gunsolley compared the road construction to a vehicle: by doing oil changes, you maintain the vehicle, or road, so it survives a long period of time. By not doing proper upkeep, eventually the engine will have to be replaced, or even the entire vehicle.

“It’s a large dollar amount because it is past the point where we can do the oil change,” Gunsolley said.

The project is Creamery Road from Highway 34 to REA Road, a 6.4-mile stretch.

It will consist of an entire sealcoat reconstruction, meaning the road will be torn up and redone. It will also be one of the first roads planned to be done on the five-year plan.

REA Road REA Road is broken up into four different projects based on the age and quality of the current road.

Gunsolley described REA Road as a hodgepodge.

“East of Creamery Road, if you drive on REA, it has nothing but rolled-down

joints,” Gunsolley said.

“Rolled-down joints are indicative of a road that is fulldepth asphalt. Because it is asphalt, it is not as hard as concrete, or it needs structure underneath it. When it has nothing but soil, usually your cracks roll down.”

The section east of Creamery Road was last done in 1991. In comparison, the section west of Creamery Road was done in 2006 with asphalt overlay on concrete and shows rolled-up joints.

“Since they were different projects with different structures, it needs a different solution, a different treat- Gunsolley ment,” Gunsolley said.

The four different projects of REA Road focus on four different sections of the road based on what they need. The fourth project runs from Redwood Avenue 5.1 miles east to Lorimor’s west city limits.

Gunsolley said he wants to “beef up” the road by tearing it up, laying Portland cement and sealcoating it over top.

This is the most expensive part of the project, costing an estimated $580,000.

“We are reconstructing the sealcoat road and, at the end of the project, we will have a cement-based sealcoat road,” Gunsolley said. “It’ll be sealcoat on steroids because it’s going to be stronger now because we are going to reinforce the base.”

Project three runs from Creamery Road east 3.3 miles to Redwood Avenue. It is currently 3 inches of cold-inplace recycling under 5 inches of asphalt.

“It doesn’t need reconstruction yet, it just needs the oil change,” Gunsolley said. “We’re going to level with some slurry and some joint-filling material to make it a little smoother, and then we’re going to do a top dressing of the whole road with a new surface treatment called microsurfacing.”

The second project is from Jaguar Avenue to Creamery Road. It was constructed in 2006 of 4 inches of hot mix over 6 inches of crack and seating PCC pavement. Gunsolley plans to do a sealcoat resurfacing of the asphalt road because it does have some joints that buckle up.

Then, project one is a microsurfacing project of REA Road from Cherry Street east 3 miles to Jaguar Avenue.

“Project one is my least favorite just because it’s going to be a problem,” Gunsolley said. “It’s my least favorite because every foot behaves a little bit differently.”

Near the railroad tracks, there is a rut indicative of base failure, while on the west end there is a good, uniform crown, but there is also thermal cracking, Gunsolley said.

He plans to microsurface the road after the rut is filled with a cold patch, rather than tear it up for reconstruction, in order to cover the road and buy some time.

“These resurfacing projects, they’re not really making the roads better, but they’re going to do a good job keeping the roads from getting worse,” Gunsolley said.

Eventually, after doing

some low-cost surface treatments, Gunsolley hopes to save up farm-to-market dollars designated to specific roads since they would be able to “stave off the next major Creamery Road reconstruction project.” He hopes the money can be used to do a larger project on a main road like REA Road or somewhere south of town, based on what the Board of Supervisors and public want.

H24 H24, also known as 150th and 140th streets located in Spaulding Township, was done in 2005 with 6 inches of hot mix asphalt over 7 inches of concrete road, totaling 13 inches of material.

“H24 over here is a good example of a younger road that’s in good shape so we can make a small investment today,” Gunsolley said.

Part of this project is the bridge at Green Valley Lake dam. The bridge runs over the spillway at the southern point of the lake. The plan is to put in a box-beam bridg to update the current bridge.

“It’s a research project to see if these box beams will be a more cost-effective solution to building short bridges for counties,” Gunsolley said.

“There’s a need for some improvements on that bridge.

My predecessor had it in there for that reason, just guessing, and selected it for this new box-beam bridge style. The box beams for the bridge deck should make for a faster project, so lake traffic interrupted with their fishing and all that as well.”

Canada stated that he was leaving his girlfriend’s house when he came to the intersection, that Chubick was speeding and hydroplaned, stopped the car and proceeded in front of him all while waiving Can-

Canada falsely identified the occupants in the car. Canada is at fault for the accident, left the scene of the accident, was cited for failure to have a valid driver’s license and failing to obey a traffic control signal.

Damage estimates are $4,000 to Chubick’s vehicle and $300 to Canada’s vehicle.

— — — — — — No citations were issued after an accident 10:42 a.m. April 12 on Highway 25.

According to a Union County Sheriff report, Larry Cleve Clayton, 70, of Thayer, driving a 2001 Chevrolet, left his residence around 4 a.m. to get donuts in Osceola and later that morning drove around the residence of 1696 Highway

25, drove through two locked gates and into a pasture. Clayton drove around the pasture and then exited the same way he had entered. Clayton then went to 1680 Highway 25 and drove around a farm building and then into the resident’s pasture. Clayton continued to drive around the pasture until he got stuck in an overflow area from a pond and got stuck in the water. Clayton had damage to the windshield and the front of his car.

After a re-examination, it was discovered Clayton was confused while not taking required medications.

Damage estimates are $3,000 to Clayton’s vehicle and $310 to the gates owned by Jean Weisshaar of Creston.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, May 17, 2017

What happened to all the track athletes?

This column has been a long time coming.

Now, before I really dive in, let me say a few things. First, this is a subject that obviously holds a special place in my heart. Secondly, kudos to those Creston boys who went out for track and field this year and stuck it out. You have my utmost respect for going out when so few did and for working hard all season.

But that brings me to the issue that cut right to my core this spring sports season – the lack of Creston athletes out for track and field.

I know and understand there are other spring sports. And to those kids who elect to participate in other spring sports, good for you.

I know not everyone loves track and field the way I do, and that’s totally fine. I’m glad you’re out for something, working to improve yourselves.

And, for all I know, those other sports could be hurting for numbers, too. I don’t know. Since I’m no longer on the sports beat, I’m a bit out of the loop on all the sports.

But, I do know the troubles facing the Creston track program.

There is absolutely no reason a Class 3A program should have only seven boys out for track and

Vick-tory lap Scott Vicker managing editor

field.

In having discussions with people throughout the community, the first thing most people say is, “Well isn’t this the first year the athletes can’t do dual participation?” Yes, that’s true. But let’s be clear here – that didn’t affect participation numbers at all this year.

No, the problem was simply student athletes electing to not go out. I’m sure there’s a plethora of reasons students are not going out for track and field, and for a variety of other sports.

Still, it’s disappointing to see the lack of track and field athletes.

There were plenty of great track and field athletes who came before me. Since my time in the program, there have been plenty of great track and field athletes, as well – Brandon Phipps, Jay Wolfe, Bryce Briley, just to name a few.

Wolfe said it best when I spoke with him at the home boys track meet this year, when he said, “It’s disappointing to see the program

we helped build like this.”

Track doesn’t have to be someone’s first love to be an important sport. For most student athletes, track and field serves as a combine sport. It makes athletes compete against themselves and against other competitors.

But, most importantly, it gives them indisputable marks to point toward. The stopwatch does not lie. The measuring tape does not lie. Having a solid 100-meter or 400-meter time, a solid mark in the long jump or in the shot put can be huge boosts toward a student athlete’s recruitment.

Jacob Sobotka being able to run a sub-50 second 400 split in the 4x400 relay at nearly 220 pounds is a big part of why he was chosen for a preferred walk-on spot on the Iowa football team out of Mount Ayr. Whether it’s football, basketball, baseball or whatever the sport may be, track and field is a great complement to an athlete’s No. 1 sport.

Phipps played football and ran track and field in high school before starting his record-breaking track career at Northwest Missouri State University.

After his return to the Drake Relays a few weeks ago as a col-

legiate, Phipps had this to say: “Track is a sport that involves speed, involves endurance, involves heart and involves mental toughness. I don’t know a sport in the entire world that doesn’t involve speed, endurance, mental toughness and heart and passion. It’s really sad hearing that (lack of participation), but hopefully it’s an Phipps opportunity for people to take a step back and realize track is a sport that affects every other sport.”

Phipps is now in the midst of a stellar season for Northwest Missouri State, having broken the school’s 5,000-meter record last week, running 14:25.07.

Phipps was also one of the last four-sport athletes Creston has seen on the boys side. He knows how much track and field can improve an athlete for his or her other sports.

“When I think back to the premier athletes of the last five to seven years, they all ran track,” Phipps said. “Luke Neitzel, Collin Bevins, Jay Wolfe, Bryce Bri-

ley, Briar Evans, Seth Maitlen and myself. Athletes should run track. It’s essential for every single sport and had part in why they excelled in the other sports.”

According to Tracking Football, 88 percent of the 2017 NFL Draft picks were multi-sport athletes in high school. Of 2017 draft picks, 62 percent competed in track and field. That was the highest percentage of any sport.

Speaking of Bevins, he recently finished rookie minicamp with the Arizona Cardinals and is now in organized team activities.

He noted, after agreeing to terms on a free agent contract with the Cardinals, how much competing in track and field helped him as a collegiate football player by developing speed and explosiveness. And now, he’s in camp with an NFL team.

Don’t just listen to me, listen to the guy in an NFL camp.

Track and field really can help an athlete take his or her performance to the next level.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Be a responsible pet owner From Julie Ackley Postmaster Creston

In April, the United States Postal Service promoted National Dog Bite Prevention Week. I am writing to ask our customers to extend their efforts and help make this “National Dog Bite Prevention Year.” Pet owners’ efforts are critical when you consider the number of Postal Service employees attacked by dogs last year reached 6,755 – more than 200 higher than the year before. Within the Creston Post Office, there have been two dog attacks since the beginning of the year.

My concern is not only for our employees, but with the general population as well. Here are three critical points to remember: • If a letter carrier delivers mail or packages to your front door, place your dog in a separate room and close that door before opening the front door. Dogs have been known to burst through screen doors or plate-glass windows to

attack visitors. Dog owners should keep the family pet secured.

• Parents should remind their children and other family members not to take mail directly from letter carriers in the presence of the family pet, as the dog may view the letter carrier handing mail to a family member as a threatening gesture.

• The Postal Service places the safety of its employees as a top priority. If a letter carrier feels threatened by a dog, or if a dog is loose or unleashed, the owner may be asked to pick up mail at a post office until the letter carrier is assured the pet has been restrained.

If the dog is roaming the neighborhood, the pet owner’s neighbors also may be asked to pick up their mail at the area’s post office.

I am asking everyone to become a responsible pet owner during the coming summer in order to ensure the safety of all of our citizens. Together, we can safeguard all from unnecessary and potentially devastating dog attacks.

Thank you for your help with this very important issue.

Tourism in Australia

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

North Korea successfully tested a missile Saturday which experts say could reach Los Angeles with a nuclear warhead. It’d make great TV. The funniest thing about a nuclear attack on Los Angeles would be the tens of thousands of young people taking selfies in front of the mushroom cloud.

Australia’s Tourism Bureau predicts a record number of tourists from the U.S. this year. Here is a safety tip. To avoid a full body-cavity search at Sydney Airport, when the Australian immigration official asks you if you have a criminal record do NOT reply that you didn’t know you still needed one.

President Trump was accused in the Washington Post of accidentally revealing the existence of a Western spy inside ISIS during a meeting with Russian officials last week.

It’s just not fair. Why can’t the Russians wait for President Trump to tweet classified information like the rest of us?

The Washington Post claimed President Trump told Russians last week about a spy we have in ISIS. Democrats accused Trump of treason and the GOP accused the Post of tipping off terrorists. ISIS just recalled their suicide bombers home from the U.S., saying they can’t compete at this level.

President Trump told Fox News

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Friday he enjoys being president but it’s a wonder why. Every day brings a new call for a special prosecutor. The Washington Post quoted anonymous sources who say that Trump has been serving caviar at White House dinners, and caviar is a known Russian product.

The Miss USA Pageant was held at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas Saturday with five immigrant women vying for the title. That’s so ironic.

Donald Trump sold the Miss USA Pageant a few years ago, however the sale included a grandfather clause that allows Trump to walk into the dressing room.

The Miss USA Pageant was won by a beautiful black nuclear chemist, Kara McCullough, over the weekend. Her conservative views during the interviews upset the media. She may be the first beauty pageant contestant in history to say that world peace just didn’t work out the way we’d hoped.

Senate Democrats vowed to stall the new FBI director confirmation until a special prosecutor is named.

The president is leaving Washington D.C. Friday for the relative peace and calm of the Middle East.

How bad is it on Capitol Hill when Trump has to book a room in Mosul for some R&R? Democrats took to the airwaves demanding President Trump be impeached for firing the FBI director. Democrats need to think it through. If you think Obama had impeachment insurance with Biden sitting in the on-deck circle, Trump’s vice president believes that homosexuality is curable.

Marvel Comics dropped its Black Lives Matter-themed comic book after two issues due to poor sales.

The VP in charge of sales said the public simply isn’t buying diversity.

Donald Trump during the campaign promised to make America what it once was, and it only took him four months.

Hillary Clinton launched a fundraising machine called Onward Together, which will accept donations that are not tax-deductible.

That allows the donors and donation amount to remain anonymous.

Funny how Hillary’s the only Democrat who reacts to Comey’s firing with a clear head.

Newly elected President of France Emmanuel Macron was sworn into his office in a stirring ceremony in Paris Sunday as the band played La Marseilles. The next day, he received German Chancellor Angela Merkel in his presidential office. It’s the fastest surrender in the history of France.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I read your column every day in the Houston Chronicle and enjoy the tips offered. I have a question: How do I get my DARK BROWN SUGAR back to soft? I do not use it often, and it has gotten very hard. – Charlie R. in Houston Charlie, here are a couple of my favorite ways to soften brown sugar: * Keep in an airtight container with a slice of fresh bread on top of the sugar.

Seal it and leave it overnight.

It may take one to three days to soften. * Put it in a microwave-safe bowl with a small bowl of water beside it and microwave for about 60 seconds. If it’s not soft enough, microwave again for 30 seconds more. – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise. com OUTSMARTING THE BUGS Dear Heloise: I’m hosting a retirement party, and I plan to have a large cake

on a table out on the patio.

There’ll be a lot to do before the guests arrive, so how do I keep insects from attacking the cake and other food items on the tables? – KeaLani M. in Honolulu KeaLani, I used to live in Hawaii, and we had a trick for keeping insects from feasting on food. Take each leg of the table and place it in a container of water, making sure the legs of the table DO NOT touch the sides of the water-filled container.

An empty coffee can or a pot works well in this situation, because it keeps crawling insects out. Then, cover the food and especially the cake with a plastic cover and weigh it down with stones or something heavy so it won’t blow away. This will keep flying insects out. – Heloise CRISP LETTUCE Dear Heloise: For crisp lettuce, I put a head of lettuce in a pan of cold water and let it sit for half an hour or more. I take it out and put it in a colander, and let all the water drain off. Then I pull the lettuce leaves off and put them in a zipper-top bag, and I have nice, crisp lettuce for sandwiches for several days.

– Dolores K., Omaha, Neb.

FUN FOOD FACTS Dear Readers: * Apples, pears and plums are members of the rose family. * A few centuries back, chocolate was used as currency. * The peanut is not a really a nut; it’s a legume. * Coffee beans aren’t actually beans. They’re fruit pits. * During the American Civil War, acorns were ground up and used as a coffee substitute. – Heloise THIS DESSERT IS A LEMON! Dear Heloise: I have a summer dessert that is yummy and easy to make! You’ll need: * 300 ml heavy cream * 1 can sweetened condensed milk * 3-4 lemons, juice and zest Whip the heavy cream and set aside. Pour the condensed milk into a bowl and blend in the juice of 3 or 4 lemons.

Add the zest of 1 lemon. Fold in the heavy whipped cream and blend all ingredients.

We salute our area cattle producers in celebrating the month of May and enjoying the high quality, mouthwatering, grain-fed beef that Iowa is known for around the world.

Beef importance not lost on CCHS student, teacher

By CARTER ECKL CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

The agriculture department at Creston Community High School has seen a wealth of students come through its doors.

Kelsey Bailey, the agricultural teacher at CCHS and FFA adviser, is a huge proponent of the industry and wants to encourage kids of any background to join in learning.

“My goal is to let them know that there are so many careers available,” said Bailey. “And (to) come away with an appreciation for all the farmers and ranchers out there that are feeding our world.”

Macy Evans, the daughter of Rob and April Evans, is a senior at CCHS and has taken dozens of Bailey’s classes.

Evans received a beef scholarship, a $1,000 scholarship, and plans on attending Iowa State after high school, where she will study agricultural education.

The soon-to-be college student is not the first beef

scholarship winner to take one of Bailey’s classes.

Evans holds many titles, such as the Union County 4-H Youth Council president. She is also the vice president of FFA and is on the state 4-H council.

All of the different opportunities have driven Evans to become a dedicated student.

Her goal, as of now, is to teach. When asked if she wanted to teach, Evans responded accordingly, “Yeah, most likely. Hopefully (end up) where Mrs. Bailey is sitting right now.”

Evans has been living on a farm almost the entirety of her life. That has given her a chance to work with a variety of animals. Showing animals has been a big part of Evans’ background as well.

“I’ve showed cattle and pigs,” Evans said. “I’ve even shown chickens and dogs.”

It wasn’t always a rewarding proposition for Evans.

“At first, I hated it when I was young. I hated waking up in the morning,” said Evans. “But now I’ve seen all it’s done for me. It’s developed into a strong work

ethic and it’s given me much more than just the food on my table.”

Her involvement with 4-H and FFA have carried her well beyond showing cattle.

“Currently, I’m working on planning a 5K for the Union County Fairground building project,” said Evans. “I’ve been able to do a lot with FFA and they’re going to do an obstacle. I’ve been able to include 4-H, too, and uniting us all in one because we all do stuff at the fair.”

Evans plans to continue working with 4-H and FFA, but is also looking to explore other club opportunities at Iowa State.

For Evans, those plans Macy Evans shows cattle during the Union County Fair. include making sure the everyday person understands the information they are receving.

Evans is incredibly aware of the importance positive and enlightening informaWe Salute Our tion can have overall. She BEEF Producers! has taken note of the effect any story can have on the industry if it goes viral, especially if it’s negative.

We salute our area cattle producers in celebrating the month of May and enjoying the high quality, mouthwatering, grain-fed beef that Iowa is known for around the world.

BEEF: CONT. FROM | 6A

“People are more interested in reading negative things,� critiqued Evans. “We need to spin it so people are more interested in reading and learning about our industry. “We’re not out to get anyone and purposely trying to feed anyone bad meat. All of us working together can work to solve

that problem.�

Both teacher and pupil agree how many different pursuits in agriculture are available to those who are interested.

Bailey has taken note how quickly opportunities can amount to interest. The agriculture class at CCHS offers many different avenues into the world of agriculture. “I see kind of across the board when kids come in here what motivates them.

active and involved.

The Iowa cattle industry contributed close to $7 billion to the economy last year. That ranks the industry as one the biggest industries in the state in terms of GDP. In turn, the industry has created nearly 40,000 jobs for Iowans across the state.

Bailey and Evans agree the industry needs more promotion. “Our job, and will be Macy’s job as an ag teacher, is to help people realize that, (agriculture) we are what sustains life,� Bailey said.

But for Evans, it’s not 100 percent agriculture all of the time. Evans is a two-sport athlete competing in volleyball and tennis.

She also is in the Spotlight School for Dance and on the dance drill team at the high school.

Her parents have been a big driving force behind her love of agriculture and her overall motivation to stay involved in other pursuits. “My father has definitely encouraged me to be the best I could ever be,� said Evans. “He gets up really early in the morning and goes to work. During this time of the year we don’t see him much because of

Department. Aerial footage showed a wide path of leveled mobile homes and debris.

Several poultry barns at a turkey processing plant across the street were badly damaged, and turkeys could be seen wandering in the debris.

Meteorologists said eight suspected tornadoes are believed to have touched down in western Oklahoma, killing a man and destroying at least 40 homes.

National Weather Service

meteorologist Rick Smith said two supercells formed in the Texas Panhandle on Tuesday and then moved into Oklahoma. He said the most destructive tornado appears to have remained on the ground for five to 10 miles near Elk City, which is about 110 miles west of Oklahoma City.

Danny Ringer, the Elk City Fire Department chaplain, said that tornado killed 53-year-old Bo Mikles. Authorities said it appears he was fleeing his home when his vehicle was thrown several hundred feet.

The weather service said it received reports of more than two dozen tornado

sightings Tuesday night across the five states of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Wisconsin.

There were also many reports of large hail and strong winds.

The SPIN (SPecial INterest) program began in September and will last through May. “The SPIN program is meant to spark an interest in something new for the 4-H’er,” said Haley Jones, Union County Youth and Outreach Coordinator.

“Each month a different event, workshop or tour is planned for the 4-H’ers.”

Nelson gave the youth a tour of the clinic where they learned about different tools and equipment and gained some insight about the life of a vet.

“It is important to give youth exposure to what we as vets do on a daily basis to keep both their pets and production animals healthy,” Nelson said. “Some of these

DES MOINES – Two more glass plaques were added to First National Bank’s collection the last week of April.

First National Bank in Creston and Afton won marketing awards for Best Social Media Campaign and Best of Show from the Iowa Bankers Association (IBA) at its annual marketing conference held April 27 at the Marriott in West Des Moines.

Both awards were a result of the bank’s “1K likes” social media campaign. First National Bank launched its official Facebook page in June 2016 and the goal of this campaign was to garner 1,000 “friends”

by Christmas.

“The community has really fallen in love with us on Facebook,” said Kyle Wilson, marketing associate at First National Bank.

“I think that’s because you don’t see many sales pitches on our page. Wilson It’s a place w h e r e you’ll see positive news about our community, we’ll give you financial tips, we spotlight our great employees and we

The Best of Show award was given to First National Bank for being the highest-scoring campaign from all six Best of Iowa categories for banks with assets less than $1 billion. This year’s entries were judged by a panel from the Indiana Bankers Association. They selected the winners based on the campaign’s objectives, strategy, execution and results.

This year, the bank has set the goal of reaching 1,600 friends by year’s end. That said, First National Bank invites you to like their page at www.facebook.com/fnbcreston in its quest to reach this target.

CRESTON FEMALE ATHLETES OF THE YEAR

Limelight for Little and Shepherd Creston seniors recognized as co-girls athletes of the year n

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

In naming Creston’s two girls athletes of the year at the year end award banquet, two Panther seniors enjoyed a moment that was a long time coming, and an exciting distinction to be honored with.

The countless hours put into their respective sports has been fulfilling enough for Rachel Shepherd and Lexie Little, but the award in itself was a cool addition to their trophy cases.

Nothing Little in her personality If you watch Lexie Little playing sports, you’re likely to hear her voice. Pay attention long enough and you’ll see her goofy personality shine through in her interactions with her teammates.

After playing through 15 seasons of varsity sports in her four years as a Panther athlete, Creston’s lone senior four-sport athlete is just as psyched up for the next sport as ever.

Little has been leaving at the conclusion of soccer practice, her first season with the team, and going straight to softball practice, which started at the beginning of last week.

“This group of (softball) girls has a really good work ethic. Everyday we come out here,” Little said.

“Most of us are coming out after tennis and soccer and softball and we still give it our all. It’s just good being around girls that are posi-

tive. We have a really positive team right now.”

Even after three years of track, her mind was searching for something new to do in sports. She chose to heed the encouragement of a few friends and come out for

soccer.

“That was kind of a tough decision for me because I’ve always been a trackster,” Little said about spring soccer, where she’s a defender in her first season playing the sport since middle

Creston senior Rachel Shepherd poses for a photo at the completion oftrack practice. Shepherd, a cross country and track standout, has a work ethic that has earned her heaps of praise from coaches and now helped her share CHS athlete of the year honors.

school. “I just decided to try and do something new my senior year and what could go wrong?”

Not much has gone wrong for Little as an athlete in her senior year. Disappointing team results don’t linger

in her mind long too long because of how much she enjoys being around teammates.

An improved cross country runner, a consistent starter for the first time on the basketball team, a start-

ing defender on the Panther soccer team and soon to be the primary slugger on Creston’s softball team, Little has a reason for loving every sport she was in as a senior.

CRESTON MALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR

Standout on the field, better off it Shiltz named Creston male athlete of the year n

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Coaches within various Creston athletic programs knew what a prodigious talent on the field Chase Shiltz was even at a very young age.

His natural talent was obvious, whether it was on the gridiron, mat, diamond, whatever athletic venue he chose to compete at.

Shiltz has been wildly successful in whatever activity he participated at Creston High School, whether it was football, wrestling, soccer, track and field or baseball.

Those only tell part of what has made Shiltz one of the most special athletes ever to come through Creston.

It was his leadership day in, day out in practice, in the hallways of Creston High School and in the community.

Shiltz has become a role model for the youth of Creston, the entire community to

While Chase Shiltz has certainly enjoyed a stellar athletic career at Creston High School in multiple sports, including football, wrestling, soccer, track and field and baseball, it’s his character off the field and in the school that will leave a lasting impact after he graduates.

emulate.

“He brought a lot to the community. That might be the most impressive part of it,” said Creston/Orient-Macksburg wrestling

coach Darrell Frain. “Every little kid looks up to him, how he handles himself.”

It is all those qualities that have made Shiltz one of the most legendary athletes in

the storied history of Creston High School athletics.

Shiltz was honored as the Creston High School male athlete of the year.

“What he does every day,

how he presents himself in the school, how he presents himself in practice, those things are more of a legacy, how he handled himself on and off the field,” Frain

said.”That means way more than three state championships.”

Shiltz has always made it a point to be accessible to future Panthers, something that caught Frain’s attention.

“You look at all of his honors, he spends time talking to every little kid,” Frain said. “He’s respected in the community and school. It’s great.”

Frain knew early on what type of athlete Shiltz was going to be, having watched him in sports at a young age competing along side son Brody.

“Probably when he was five years old,” Frain said.

“I remember him wrestling four and five years old.

Once he figured out what he was supposed to do, he competed at a high level. He was competing at a national level in first and second grade.

He was as good as it got.”

Shiltz wasted little time making an impact in the varsity wrestling room, in fact, it came even before high school.

“Anytime you have a kid that competes from day one, it doesn’t matter who he’s going against, he definitely brings up the competition SHILTZ | 3S

“It’s nice to just be able to go out and run,� Little said about running cross country the last three years. “Yeah it’s competitive in a manner, but like it’s still also enjoyable because you can go your own pace but also push yourself.�

The sport has helped push herself to her capabilities. “I think it has really taught me a lot about endurance and crossing through the threshold and going out of the comfort zone,� Little said.

Coach Pat Schlapia named Little a captain this season, and noted how much fire she brings to the sport. “She is an example of multi-sport athletes, whatever the sport was, she was involved,� Schlapia said.

That continued as Little motored right into hoops season.

Little was never the primary scoring option or the most refined player on the court.

What she brought in intensity and work ethic could not

be taught on the court. “We had a great group of girls out and it was just fun to work with them even if we weren’t winning a whole bunch,� Little said. “It was easier to enjoy. I guess when you don’t look at losing and winning.

We had a lot of hardfought games that we just Little couldn’t finish.�

Now she approaches her senior season of softball.

Her presence on the field as a boisterous leader will be tested a year removed from the Panthers losing six seniors.

Her senior season should be the culmination of years of work, with softball being her best sport.

Creston softball coach Mike McCabe says he has already seen Little become more of a leader and take on more of a “motherly and patient,� manner. That said, the fun aspects of her demeanor on the field shine brighter.

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, May 17, 2017

“I’m also going to expect her to bring that swag, bring that air of confidence,� McCabe said.

Little has reasons galore to be optimistic, regardless of the presented circumstances.

She has always approached athletics that way. “My family has been really supportive. Since my sophomore year I’ve been a foursport athlete,� Little said. “I was three-sport my freshman year. I can count on two hands the number of games they’ve missed.�

She rounds that out by being named Creston’s co-athlete of the year.

Shepherd’s commitment “She’s been outworking everybody for a long time now.�

Those are the words of Creston girls track and field coach Clay Arnold said about senior Rachel Shepherd.

While Shepherd is not more naturally gifted than all of her counterparts, the Panther senior has put in the work, even when unprompted to propel herself forward to make her as reliable as any runner on the cross country and track and field

teams this school year.

Shepherd took on two part-time jobs last summer, one at a daycare and another at Fridley-Strand Theatre before moving to a full-time summer job.

She didn’t make excuses to get out of training for sports. Shepherd is naturally driven, so three-day-a-week weightlifting sessions with CHS teacher and coach Casey Tanner continued.

Heaps of days last summer concisted of an early-morning weightlift- Shepherd ing session, then straight to work. “I wasn’t really in the endurance shape for cross country so I took it pretty seriously for the last year,�

Shepherd said. “I think that helped a lot because I was coming to weights every single day this summer on top of traveling for family and FBLA stuff so it was kind of hard but I managed to do it.

And then putting in lots of miles throughout the week just so that I’d be ready for

cross season and it paid off.�

The work paid off as Shepherd, also a Hawkeye 10 all-academic honoree, saw her times come down as the number two runner on the team after a four-year varsity career.

Shepherd’s love for running has always been obvious to Creston cross country coach Pat Schlapia. “You never had to question her effort on that,�

Schlapia said. “She was one who talked running even when she was in elementary school.�

Her training didn’t end in the fall. After-school workouts were her norm throughout the winter. Regaining muscle mass lost in those long runs was the next point of emphasis. She maintains that she worked far harder the past year than in any of her previous three years.

But the extra training that went into cross country paid off too, as Shepherd did fewer sprints than years past and excelled where needed in middle distances and relays this season.

Arnold has seen Shepherd’s work pay off from all the way back in her middle

school cross country days. “It’s really fun to be around those types of people,� Arnold said, referring to Shepherd and her enthusiasm for running. “It’s been really exciting watching her role evolve over the years and just watching her maturity change and she’s gotten older and she really does epitomize what work can do for you.

One can imagine how fun it has been for Shepherd’s family. Cousins Tiffany and Tabitha Shepherd cousins have gone on to run track in college. She will follow in their footsteps by competing at Morningside College in Sioux City as a runner. “My grandma and my mom and my father, they all come to every single meet,�

Shepherd said. “They’ve never not been to a meet or never missed cross country or anything.�

That’s a rewarding feeling for someone whose hard work continues to pay off. “I’m happy with what I did over the last four years and how much I’ve grown as a runner,� Shepherd said. “I’m excited for the next chapter as well at Morningside.�

SHILTZ: CONT. FROM | 1S

level,” Frain said. “He made better every day from the first day.”

Gridiron standout Panthers football coach Brian Morrison saw Shiltz’ prodigious talent early on.

Morrison and the staff kept Shiltz back as a freshman. Once he was brought up to the varsity level as a sophomore, Shiltz wasted little time making an impact on a Panther team that eventually reached the UNIDome and the state semifinals for the first time.

Shiltz rushed for 1,250 yards and 24 touchdowns.

It was only the start of an impressive three years anchoring the Panthers backfield.

“I don’t think there’s been a three-year stretch I know for a running back that’s put up that many numbers as far as touchdowns, receiving yards, rushing yards,” Morrison said.

Even as a youthful sophomore, Shiltz became one of the team’s most respected players.

“On that team that went to the (UNI) Dome, if you watched our practice, you couldn’t pick out a sophomore like him,” Morrison said. “Compared to a senior that year, he had the right mindset.”

Shiltz became the face of the program in many ways, and the student body as a whole.

“You can tell with some kids that even though they’re seniors and are ex-

pected to be leaders, kids don’t look up to them as leaders because they know what a leader takes and they don’t follow him,” Morrison said. “With him, it’s different. It could be just a kid that plays football and that’s it, a kid that plays another sport, that doesn’t go out for everything like he does, but they look up to him. He’s involved in so many activities, athletics, does well in school.

He’s a great kid to have in the hallways.”

As naturally and athletically gifted as Shiltz is, that hasn’t slowed down the competitive motor he has. If anything, Shiltz has found ways to work even harder.

“He competes as hard as anybody I’ve coached here,” Morrison said. “He’s very goal drive as far as what he wants to accomplish.”

When Shiltz stepped onto the gridiron on Fridays, a different side of him came out.

“It doesn’t matter what type of game it was, whether it was Carroll, both undefeated teams or Clarinda in a non-district game, he has the same demeanor,” Morrison said. “Once the whistle blows and he’s in the huddle, on the sidelines, the coaches talking to him, he has a different mindset. He loves being out there, being around the guys. He likes the aspect of being a part of the team.”

Instant impact on the track Shiltz transitioned from the soccer pitch after his sophomore year to the track his junior year.

While he was only out for track and field for one sea-

son, his impact was quickly felt on Pat Schlapia’s team.

Shiltz was a key cog in the 4x100 and 4x200 relays, as well as in the 100 and 200-meter dashes.

“He was a welcomed addition,” Schlapia said. “He was a hard worker in practice and in meets. He was a major part of our sprint crew.”

Whatever Schlapia asked, Shiltz did.

“He never questioned it. He went out there ad showed a lot for us that junior year,” Schlapia said.

Schlapia savored the time with Shiltz.

“Even for one season, I was appreciative of coaching him.”

Time with teammates valued over wins and losses on the field Shiltz has certainly put up impressive numbers in all of his sports, particularly in football and wrestling, numbers that are at or near the top in school history.

Those individual accolades don’t mean as much to him as the time with teammates in practice, after practice, on road trips.

“Wins and losses, they don’t mean much,” Shiltz said. “It’s the moments we’ve had on and off, moments with my teammates.”

Shiltz deflects the success he’s had, remembering those who helped him become the athlete he was.

“They’ve meant the world to me. All my success comes from them,” Shiltz said of his teammates. “Without anybody blocking for me in football, without my teammates pushing me in the wrestling room, all of my credit to

them and my coaches. It all paid off over the years.”

The wins shared with teammates are ones he cherishes more than the individual moments.

“There’s nothing better than winning a game with all of your teammates on Friday, in a dual meet tournament,” Shiltz said.

Credit to his coaches Shiltz has had many different coaches at all levels in his sports. Each one taught him something different.

“They’ve meant a lot as well,” Shiltz said. “All of them in different ways have been encouraging, coaching.

Each one has a special part of them. That makes me a better person, an athlete.”

“I can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for me.”

While Shiltz has made athletics look easy, it has not always been the case.

Through athletics, Shiltz has learned much about how to be successful in them and in the game of life.

“Things aren’t always going to be easy. You’re going to do things you do not want to do be successful in the classroom or work. You have to do stuff you don’t want to do,” Shiltz said.

“Those things instilled in me with the work ethic will help in college and in life in general.”

Parents played an intrical part in success There are two other people Shiltz was quick to credit for his success athletically, two that have done much behind the scenes.

His parents John and Dorie.

“My parents mean everything, what they’ve done for me,” Shiltz said. “If it wasn’t for them taking me places to get better outside of Creston, traveled all over for us to get better, if they wouldn’t have done that, I wouldn’t be the athlete I am today. They’ve meant the world with everything they’ve done for me.

Financially, it’s not easy to take us around. They’re always working, doing everything they can to better me.

They’ve done a wonderful job.”

Shiltz played through injuries, particularly in football.

He tore his meniscus as a sophomore and suffered a broken wrist as a junior in football.

Help from the athletic trainer to stay on the field Shiltz survived all those activities with the aid of athletic trainer Chris Leonard.

“A big shoutout to Chris Leonard for keeping me healthy,” Shiltz said. “Without him, I don’t know where I’d be. I’d be dinged up, but with Chris, I’d be out only a couple of days. He does wonders with us for injuries, done wonders with what he’s done for me.”

Shiltz impact will not easily be replicated in any sport next school year. “lt doesn’t matter what sport you’re in, it’s going to take a lot of kids to step up,” Frain said. “Hopefully we can find somebody that does replace him, but you don’t replace someone like him, that’s for sure.”

Off to make an impact at Northwest Missouri State for football

3S

SPORTS

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, May 17, 2017

Shiltz is now off to Northwest Missouri State in Maryville to join the powerhouse Bearcat football program.

Morrison already knows Shiltz will quickly adapt to life on coach Rich Wright’s team, just like another former Panther great did, a former Panther that is now in camp with the National Football League’s Arizona Cardinals.

“He’s going to have respect from the get-go from his teammates at Northwest,” Morrison said.

“We’ve had quite a few kids go through that program, most recently Collin Bevins.

They understand the type of kids that come from Creston. He (Shiltz) is another example of that type of kid.

The mindset he has, the success he’s had in wrestling, football, baseball, soccer, track, whatever he’s done, he’s been successful at. I guarantee you when he gets down there, he’ll keep his mouth shut, get to know the players and the coaches and work his tail off.”

Shiltz may not have had eye-popping size, stature and speed to draw the attention of major college coaches in football.

The intangibles, the knack for knowing how to compete at a high level and win will help Shiltz succeed in Maryville.

“He’s going to be a kid that four, five years from now, people are going to kick themselves because he’s going to be that good of a player down there,” Morrison said.

CRESTON BOYS SOCCER

Panthers succumb to stingy Cyclones defense Creston boys soccer shutout on the road n

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

HARLAN —Creston’s defense held strong for much of the first half of the boys soccer game in Harlan Monday, but once it broke in the second half, Harlan’s counterattack proved lethal in handing the Panthers

a 5-0 loss.

Harlan, now 13-1, had allowed more than one goal in a game just twice this season.

Creston coach Lucian Diaconu was expecting a low score.

“They were playing defensively physical and offensively they were pressuring waiting for us to make mistakes,” Diaconu said.

The Cyclones utilized five defenders in the back, something that the Panthers were not able

to work around effectively.

Creston kept Harlan off the board until the final three minutes of the first half, when then Cyclones took advantage of a counterattack to head into half up 1-0.

Harlan scored twice in the opening 10 minutes of the second half and twice with around 15-17 minutes remaining in the game. Tanner Fink recorded a hat track for the Cyclones to lead the way.

Playing on turf kept the Panthers from playing as quickly and confident with the ball as they typically do.

Creston managed just four shots on goal, one from Brenden McDowell on a breakaway attempt, one from Evan Jacobson and two by Patrick Normandeau.

“Overall, Harlan did a great job in counterattacking, playing long balls and we did not not adapt well enough to this style

of play,” Diaconu said.

Panther keeper Payton Pryor stopped 15 shots and had three goals scored on him. Ayden Filer recorded four saves and allowed two goals.

The junior varsity tied the Cyclones 0-0.

Creston (0) — Shots (on goal) — 8 (4 on goal). Individual shots (on goal)— Patrick Normandeau (2), Brenden McDowell 2 (1), Ben Irr 2, Evan Jacobson (1), Kelby Luther 1. Keeper saves — Payton Pryor 15, Ayden Filer 4.

Harlan (5) — Tanner Fink 3, Kyle Knudson 1, Rolly Lokange 1. Shots (on goal) — 10 (4). Saves — Keaton Jones 4.
