After a December splashed with 50-degree temperatures and little snow until the last full week, January lows have dipped into the single digits.

Aside from dangers like frostbite and dead car batteries, the possibility of a house fire increases in the winter months.

There are several types of fire caused because of the Iowa cold, and the most common is an additional heat source like a space heater.

done between the six structure fires.

According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) statistics, 33 percent of reported house fires and 81 percent of civilian deaths were caused by stationary or portable space heaters or wood stoves between 2007 and 2011.

Fireplace, chimney or chimney connector fires accounted for 36 percent of reported fires and six percent of civilian deaths. Other causes were central heating units and water heaters.

Frigid fishing: Ron

Niles of Moravia drills a hole in the ice in search of fish Sunday morning on a lake near Greenfield. The ice was between five and six inches thick Sunday, an increase from three inches Thursday after a bout of rain. The ice thickness and a high temperature of 10 degrees in Greenfield made for a plentiful day of fishing.

When the Panther wrestlers take on Perry and Winterset for their double dual meet Thursday, the competition won’t just be about pins and points. It will also be about helping Iowa families who are going through medical emergencies.

That’s because throughout the evening, Creston High School Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) and Panther wrestling team will be partnering to raise awareness and funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Iowa, which provides a low-cost “homeaway-from-home” for families with children in area hospitals during medical emergencies.

In past years, FBLA has held fundraisers for the March of Dimes. This year, FBLA adviser Shannon Smith said the club decided to partner with the wrestling team to choose a different charity. Both student organizations strongly support the Ronald McDonald House, where the family of now-graduated Creston wrestler Tayler Pettit stayed for the better part of a week in February 2015 as Pettit underwent emergency heart surgery following his collapse at the D u a l Smith T e a m Wrestling Championships.

“That was something that they were really passionate about,” Smith said.

“I know the Pettits were really appreciative of Ronald McDonald House and everything they had, and when we looked at that, we saw a bunch of other families in Creston had also

Jackson said. “We get combustibles too close to it and catch on fire or we also have the issue with overloading the wiring.”

Combustibles such as blankets should be kept more than two feet from a space heater, and heaters should be plugged in to a socket capable of supplying the proper amount of amps and watts without overwork.

“Any type of supplemental heat involves risk, and so does your regular furnace,” Jackson said.

“Whenever you’re going to do a fire, there’s risk involved.”

The NFPA reported a decline in reported structure fires from 1,065,000 in 1980 to 487,500 in 2013.

Civilian deaths has also decreased from 7,395 in 1977 to 3,240 in 2013. However, 400 of those deaths were caused by supplemental

been able and found Ronald McDonald House helpful.”

In early September, FBLA created a fundraising goal of $3,500. To raise funds, FBLA members approached local businesses for sponsorships.

“We just kind of made a list of potential businesses that we thought would be good for donating to us, so Reasoner we just went and asked them if they would like to donate,” said sophomore John Reasoner. “We showed them all the things they could do within their office also, like the coin wars if they wanted to that was an option.

If they wanted to do the pledge for pins and if they wanted to buy T-shirts.”

The FBLA has landed 12 sponsors of $50 or more and three of $25 or more.

heating equipment.

Jackson also warned to be on the lookout for any issues during other types of fires, such as farmers burning brush piles.

“This time of year, most people burn stuff. They have tree piles to burn off, and you’ve got snow on the ground so it’s usually pretty safe,” Jackson said.

“But, obviously, things can go wrong.”

Jackson suggested getting furnaces, fireplaces and stoves inspected before using them, as well as establishing a clear zone around supplemental heat sources to prevent combustibles from catching fire.

Other suggestions for preparing for a fire are to keep clothes and other survival items in a vehicle in case of total loss of a structure, keeping fire hydrants clear of snow and other debris to make it easier for firefighters in case of a fire and to make sure all smoke alarms are in proper working condition.

whatever reason, I reached a lot of good people,” McDermott said. “Bill and Penny Oetken have become friends and tremendous supporters. I played a show for them here a year ago, and I got such a warm welcome last time, it was a no-brainer to come back, even if it is so bloody cold here.”

McDermott performed an acoustic show at the Elks Lodge #605 Saturday night, accompanied by Island Styles, the guitarist in his Seattle-based band Lotus Crush. Local musicians Dustin Baird and Paul Hart opened for McDermott and Styles. More than 200 people attended the event. “(McDermott) just seems like a down-to-earth guy, and he’s an incredible musician,” Baird said. “One of the things a lot of people struggle with covering songs is being able to hit the pitches, but he’s got an incredible range.”

“The Voice” McDermott started out in a band in Scotland called Driveblind. Eventually, he moved to New Orleans, where he

which Ronald McDonald House redeems for additional funds. Any additional donations will also be accepted.

The following week, from Jan. 18-22, area schools will hold coin wars, with the winners at each school receiving a pizza party. All funds raised will go toward the Ronald McDonald House.

Once there, the funds will directly benefit Iowa families who need to stay at the house.

“We kind of picked it in general because we knew there was one in Des Moines,” said Creston senior Alli Thomsen.

“In the March of Dimes Thomsen the money goes toward a bigger thing, (but) we know that this money is going straight to Iowa.”

released his single “Pictures,” which hit No. 1 on the iTunes rock chart. He had a couple top-20 hits after that.

Now signed with CaviGold Records, he is touring worldwide with Lotus Crush. The band will tour in the U.K., then later will return for a U.S. tour. The band released its second album, “Rabbit Hole,” in 2014, and a third album is in the works.

“The truth is, I’ve actually been doing this so long that I don’t know where I start and where the job stops or where the job starts and I stop,” McDermott said. “I just do this because it’s my passion, and it’s what, in my blood, I am driven to. If somebody was to stop me doing it tomorrow, it would be like losing a limb. I honestly wouldn’t know what to do with myself.”

Blake (helped me) embrace the country side of things a bit more than I expected to, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.”

Now, McDermott even has some original songs with country influence.

“I know it sounds daft coming from somebody who’s made their name in rock music, but I’ve always enjoyed the ethos of country music: storytelling,” McDermott said. “Scottish (music) is all about storytelling, passing through generations and kind of celebrating different moments in your culture, and country music is very much the same thing.”

While McDermott gained a magnitude of outreach by being on “The Voice,” he didn’t necessarily learn much vocally from his coach.

“I don’t know if this is a compliment or if I was un-teachable, but when I walked out on the stage, Blake said, ‘I’m not going to tell you a damn thing.

You should be headlining a gig in Tokyo tonight, not sitting here talking to me. You go take a seat,’” McDermott said.

“I felt very comfortable working with somebody like Blake, who’s just so bloody honest and easy to get along with.”

Shortly after placing second on “The Voice,” McDermott

formed Lotus Crush, which includes guitarist Peter Klett, former member of rock band Candlebox.

When a Lotus Crush tour was cancelled, it created a hole in McDermott’s calendar. Then, the phone rang. It was a producer asking if McDermott would be interested in doing “The Voice.” He had already been signed to major record labels, including a Universal Music Group company, but figured he had nothing to lose by going on “The Voice.”

“I was never really convinced that an American audience would take to a foreigner, but everything about the experience surprised me in a positive way,” McDermott said. “By the second or third week, you really start to get a feel of just how big a deal it is.”

On the show, McDermott chose country artist Blake Shelton as his coach, which may have surprised some, as McDermott started on the show as strictly a rock artist.

“There was this great exchange,” McDermott said.

“Blake was bringing to the table one type of music I’d never heard, and I was bringing to the table a bunch of music he’d not been exposed to.

So, it was an encouragement to be open-minded. I think

Produce leaves her cold Dear Readers: This week’s SOUNDOFF is about cold, wet produce in supermarkets: “Hi! Mine (Sound Off — Heloise) is about the dripping wet, COLD produce in winter. You pick it up and place it in the bag, and have wet, cold hands. I kept on asking the produce people why they couldn’t keep a roll of paper towels in the produce section.

I finally talked to a supervisor, and he had a clerk hang a roll of towels immediately! He promised me they would be there from then on.

Sadly, they lasted only one week. This is a big national chain. How much could it cost to keep a roll of generic paper towels in the produce department? — Cathy in Monument, Colo.

I hear you! Sometimes the head of romaine lettuce is dripping wet! I’ve even been “caught” when the mister turns on.

All you can do is keep asking. Most stores I go to do have paper towels handy. Last ditch is to call or write the president of the company. It may take some effort but can help bring about good results.

I-35 wins intense POI battle with Lenox Roadrunners erase 19-point second-half deficit

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

LENOX — From the opening tip, Friday’s Pride of Iowa Conference game between the Lenox Tigers and the Interstate 35 Roadrunners featured that biggame, playoff-type atmosphere.

Every basket and every call on the floor was met with either a round of applause or jeers from a crowd that was there to see two of the four teams tied atop the Pride of Iowa Conference standings.

Emotions ran high on the court, as well, with players diving on the floor for every loose ball and battling tooth and nail for every rebound.

Interstate 35 rallied from a 19-point deficit in the second half for a 73-66 win to leave itself in a tie with Bedford for first place in the conference, while Lenox dropped a game behind and in a three-way tie with

Nodaway Valley and Pleasantville.

The game featured incredible individual performances from Interstate 35 all-state point guard Jaylan White, who scored 22 of his 42 points in the fourth quarter to go with 10 assists and eight steals, and from White Lenox’s 6-9 post player Spencer Brown, who finished with 23 points, 23 rebounds and five blocked shots.

But those performances, and the game itself, seemed secondary to the situation that unfolded midway through the fourth quarter.

Just as Interstate 35 climbed back from the 19-point deficit to tie the game at 59-59, tempers flared and emotions reached a boiling point, culminating in a brouhaha that saw the

benches clear and left Lenox a man down for the remainder of the game.

After grabbing a defensive rebound, White took a hard flagrant foul from Lenox’s Sam Donaldson.

While White and Donaldson were tangled up on the floor, Donaldson was issued a technical foul, resulting in his ejection from the game.

In the madness that ensued, Donaldson had to be removed from the court by Brown and Lenox assistant coach Clint Powell.

White made three of four technical free throws to give Interstate 35 its first lead of the game at 62-59 and the Roadrunners never trailed the rest of the game.

“We had a lead, they chipped into it and we’re still playing hard,” Lenox head coach Jesse Cox said.

“There was some dialogue between all the players — both sides. Both crowds probably fell into the trap of remembering that we’re just out there playing a game

“Seth wrestled really well.

The Buck kid from DCG had only two losses coming

into the year and one was to Seth by one point and one to (Sam) Cook from Fort Dodge, who is nationally ranked,” Frain said. “He came in and had a five-point move on him (Buck). If they wrestled 10 times, I think every match would be really, really close.”

Ward finished third in the weight class, losing to Buck by fall in 1:32.

Joey Huntington had a tough bracket at 152 pounds, where the Panther senior finished runner-up to Greene County’s Tommy Bradshaw.

Panthers bank on fast start for road win Hot-shooting Tigers keep Panthers in skid

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — Jenna Taylor scored 11 quick points as Creston opened up a 14-2 lead over Red Oak here Saturday before the Tigers started to fight back.

Red Oak, which trailed 21-10 after the first quarter and 29-18 at half, closed the gap to five points (33-28) early in the fourth quarter.

The Panthers responded with a key 3-pointer by Camryn Somers and a couple of inside scoring plays

by Cammy Rutherford on the way to finishing with a 45-37 victory.

The game does not count in the Hawkeye 10 standings for Creston, now 6-4 overall and still 3-2 in league play. Red Oak, 1-4 in the conference, falls to 2-8 overall.

Taylor B r i ley had 12 and Rutherford ended with Briley 11 points and seven rebounds. Briley collected five steals.

Creston coach Brent Douma liked what he saw in the opening six minutes, and was just as perplexed as to why Red Oak outscored his Panthers for the next 20 minutes of action, until the Panthers held on during the final possessions.

“We came out and played real aggressive,” Douma said. “We overcame that one little bad stretch late in the first quarter, and got it to 21-10. Then we got stuck on 21 for about four or five minutes. It was one of those offensive struggles that we seem to go through.

I don’t know why we can’t maintain at least some scoring during those stretches.

We had some turnovers. It seems like we lose energy after a little bit and then everything else slows down.

Late, we were able to get to the line and Camryn stepped up and hit a shot that we needed there.”

RED OAK – Creston’s hopes of attaining at least a split in weekend boys basketball action evaporated in a sputtering offensive performance against Red Oak Saturday evening.

After falling 80-43 to 8-1 Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln at home Friday night, the Panthers harbored hopes of a successful rebound against the Tigers, who had fallen to 3-7 for the season and 0-2 in the Hawkeye 10 Friday in a 56-50 loss to Shenandoah.

In the end, Creston’s losing streak reached nine games as the Tigers broke away in a slow-moving game in the third quarter to win 49-38. The Panthers fell to 1-9 overall and 0-5 in league play as the boys matchup was a conference game Saturday.

Neither team scored in the first three minutes. When Tiger Weston Rolenc hit the first of seven 3-pointers by the Tigers at the 3:08 mark of the period, Red Oak was in front, 10-3.

The Panthers never seemed to catch fire offensively, although a solid defensive effort allowed them to pull within 21-20 midway through the third quarter.

But, instead of getting over the hump, the Panthers quickly sank into an

tight in that first half and didn’t want to make mistakes. We weren’t near as aggressive as we needed to be on offense. They hit some shots and obviously we didn’t hit as many. They picked up their tempo and aggressiveness in the third quarter and we didn’t match it.”

Fundermann said his team lost a tough battle Friday to league rival Shenandoah, but got back in the gym early Saturday to jump-start a better performance Saturday.

“We put in a lot of work this morning to get in a rhythm and put a lot of shots up,” the Tiger coach said. “I think that helped us get going and maintain as the game went along. I felt like any time Creston made a run or got a nice basket, we came down and answered well. We hit some big shots. This is a really good win for us, because Creston has a team that really plays hard and they have some firepower.”

Creston hosts Denison-Schleswig Friday in a girl-boy doubleheader. The Monarchs are 1-4 in the league and 1-7 overall after falling to Atlantic Friday, 64-28.

Friday night, Phipps said the Panthers are entering a stretch of opportunities and needs to be prepared to compete.

“We better be ready to go, because there are games that we should be able to compete in if we’re ready to play,” Phipps said. “(Saturday’s game) was a disappointing loss. We have a few days off now. We’ll come in Phipps this next week and work extremely hard to get ready to go.”

FRESHMEN

Creston got out to a quick

After taking just a 16-13 halftime lead, the Creston freshmen finished strong in a 41-31 victory over Red Oak Saturday.

“We started slow, going through the motions and missing some layups,” Creston coach Mallory Peterson said. “At half we changed things up defensively and that got us going for a much better second half. We were playing with more intensity.”

Breanna Ross was fouled on a 3-point shot at the buzzer to end the third quarter and made three free throws to open up an 11-point lead.

NFL briefs they trailed by double digits.

And then, spurred by using the hurry-up approach he loves, Rodgers played like a two-time NFL MVP. Rodgers threw for a pair of TDs while Eddie Lacy and James Starks each ran for a score, and Green Bay came back to overwhelm the NFC East champion Redskins 35-18.

Seahawks escape MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks needed more than three quarters to warm up at Minnesota, their quest to avenge last year’s Super Bowl loss nearly frozen before it began.

The Vikings, after gritting through this grind-it-out wildcard round playoff game, booted their chance to beat the two-time defending NFC champions. Blair Walsh’s 27yard field goal try into the frigid wind hooked left with 22 seconds remaining, handing the Seahawks a 10-9 victory over the stunned Vikings on a Sunday in below-zero weather that tied for the third-coldest NFL game on record.

Chiefs roll HOUSTON — The Kansas City Chiefs extended their franchise-record winning streak to 11 games and snapped a 22-year stretch without a playoff win on Saturday, rolling past the Houston Texans 30-0.

Knile Davis returned the opening kickoff 106 yards for a touchdown, Alex Smith threw for 190 yards and the

Packers rally LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers opened the NFC wild-card game against the Washington Redskins by going 1 for 8, and the Packers’ first four drives went: punt, safety, punt, punt. They gained all of 11 yards heading into the second period, and

Chiefs defense hounded Brian Hoyer into four interceptions and three sacks in a dominant performance.

Steelers advance CINCINNATI — Chris Boswell kicked a 35-yard field goal with 14 seconds remaining as Pittsburgh somehow pulled out an 18-16 victory in an — really, just pick whatever synonym for “ugly” that works — AFC wild-card game Saturday night.

Pittsburgh (11-6) moved into field goal position thanks to consecutive 15yard penalties on the Bengals, one on linebacker Vontaze Burfict and another on cornerback Adam Jones.

Burfict dropped his shoulder and hit a defenseless Brown in the helmet.

“Joey was disappointed he lost,” Frain said. “In that round robin format, he had his toughest match in the first round and came up short. Bradshaw beat him pretty bad last year. I knew

that was going to be a tough one right away. He had a close win against Venteicher, which is a great win.”

Frain said Cameron Leith’s undefeated day at 160 was another impressive performance. Leith won an 8-2 decision over Bedford/ Lenox’s Hunter Russell and won by fall over Greene County’s Isaiah Yoder.

seconds left in the game, resulting in four more free throws for White to make the final margin 73-66.

“After the game, coach (Nate) Rankin and I are close.

No hard feelings and I even spoke to all the kids coming through the line. They all said it’s a game and they understand,” Cox said. “Jaylan was great and very complimentary of our performance. He’s a great kid and he handled it well himself.”

Momentum swing

Lenox held a 34-21 lead at halftime after keeping Interstate 35’s outside shooters in check throughout the first half.

White led all scorers with 13 points at the break, while Donaldson led Lenox with 12 points and Brown added 11

points with nine rebounds in the first half.

Brown started the second half with back-to-back baskets and Leevi Marshall had a putback off an offensive rebound to stretch Lenox’s lead to 4021.

But Beau Egli knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers to ignite a 14-6 run for the Roadrunners, who drew to within 46-35 with 3:29 left in the third quarter when Daniel Kennedy completed a traditional 3-point play.

I-35’s Brennon McCuddin hit a 3-pointer to cut the lead to 50-40, but Cline answered with his third trey of the game.

But McCuddin immediately buried another 3-pointer and White hit one of his own.

The Roadrunners ended the quarter with White dishing to Lucas Ealy for a buzzer-beater, cutting the Lenox lead to 56-49.

Creston News Advertiser | Monday, January 11, 2016

The fourth quarter was all White. Interstate 35 outscored Lenox 24-10, with 22 of those points being scored by White.

“He’s special. It’s just nice to have him,” Rankin said about White. “Spencer’s a special player, too. That’s a really nice team. Just the way it fell out, I didn’t feel right about it.

Take all that other crap aside, we played great, they played great. I hate to see things like that.”

White, who came into the game shooting just 7 of 25 from behind the 3-point arc for the season, made four big 3-pointers in the game and shot 16 of 21 at the free throw line.

‘Really, it was Jaylan’s penetration and those two other guys that hit shots,” Cox said about the difference between the first half and the second half. “We’re balanced, four guys in double figures. That’s

what we want. We scored 66 points, but when you give up 52 in a half, you’re probably not going to win many games.”

Lenox, now 8-2 overall and 5-2 in the POI, travels to Mount Ayr on Tuesday, while Interstate 35 (7-2, 6-1) hosts Martensdale-St. Marys on Tuesday before traveling to Nodaway Valley on Thursday.

INTERSTATE 35 (73) — Jaylan White 11 16-21 42, Daniel Kennedy 4 1-1 9, Taylor O’Dea 4 0-0 8, Beau Egli 2 0-0 6, Brennon McCuddin 2 0-0 6, Lucas Ealy 1 0-0 2. Totals — 24 17-22 73. 3-point goals — 8 (White 4, Egli 2, McCuddin 2).

Assists — White 10. Steals — White 8. Team fouls — 14. Fouled out — None.

LENOX (66) — Spencer Brown 11 1-4 23, Sam Donaldson 7 0-0 14, Carson Cline 5 0-0 14, Dawson Tullberg 4 1-3 10, Kaleb Anderson 1 0-0 3, Leevi Marshall 1 0-0 2.

Totals — 28 2-7 66. 3-point goals — 6 (Cline 4, Tullberg 1, Anderson 1).

Rebounds — 38 (Brown 23, Cline 3). Assists — 19 (Tullberg 9, Cline 5). Steals — 3 (Brown 2). Blocked shots — 5 (Brown 5). Team fouls — 18. Fouled out — Cline.

Kirk Levine loved living in Creston. He raised a family and enjoyed most of his life in this town. The multiple acts of kindness during the last 17 months, and especially in the last few weeks, reaffirmed why he loved this community so much.

The family of Kirk Levine would like to thank everyone who supported him during this difficult journey, including: Dr. John Hoyt and the entire Greater Regional Medical Center staff for helping to manage Kirk’s pain and suffering; Jeff Longstaff and the Medicap staff for being there whenever needed; The HCl-Hospice for assisting Kirk at home and making his last days as comfortable as possible. Also, for helping all of us through this process; Pearson Funeral Home, Bruce Pearson, and his staff for their kindness and compassion while making and carrying out Kirk’s final wishes; Pastor Brian Jack for his many visits and beautiful service for Kirk; Gwen Buck and Elaine Fargo for helping to make Kirk’s funeral service special and meaningful; Salem Lutheran Church for the delicious luncheon and setting up the church for everyone.

St. Malachy School for canceling school to honor Kirk and supporting our family with prayers throughout the past year and half; Tim Gray and the staff at the Lobby for hosting the remembrance gathering; The Mt. Ayr schools and community for their love and support; All of Kirk’s many, many friends who have sent cards, memorials, flowers, plants, food, and prayers.

Our family is overwhelmed and humbled by the support and outpouring of love. We thank you from the bottoms of our hearts.

God bless all of you.
