Recycling problems

■

Boil order lifted for Prescott PRESCOTT — It’s again safe to drink the water in Prescott — this after Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA) lifted the boil advisory for the city Friday afternoon. SIRWA and Department of Natural Resources (DNR) took two water samples and both tested clean for bacteria.

The boil advisory was issued Wednesday morning after a contractor hit a water main, causing the city to lose water pressure.

Two Creston

businesses have recycling bins removed from their parking lot because of misuse by public

By KYLE WILSON

n recent months, Crestonians have noticed it difficult to find a place to take their recyclables like glass, paper and plastics.

Why the difficulty? Well, there used to be four big green bins in city limits for the public to dispose of recyclable materials. Those bins were located at Hy-Vee, True Value, Fareway and Prairie Solid Waste Recycling.

However, misuse by the public in and around the recycling bins has resulted in two Creston businesses removing recycling bins from their property. Those businesses removing bins were Hy-Vee and True Value.

“We’ve dealt with the mess for five years,” said Kent Sinn, owner of Creston True Value, “and enough was enough. The bins would be full and instead of coming back later, the public just piles up their cardboard, paper and trash next to the bin. Well, on windy day, it would blow all over our parking lot and we’d have to send out an employee to chase it all down.”

Amy Schultes, manager at Prairie Solid Waste Agency, said the reason the bins are constantly full is two-

“I have actually went out there myself, picked up the recyclables other people left next to the bin and put the material in the holes. So, I know it is possible Benbow to get it in the holes.

It does take a little effort, though.”

fold.

One, there are a lack of bins available to the public, therefore, they fill up quickly. And secondly — under the current contract — Waste Management only empties the recycling bins twice per week on Mondays and Thursdays.

“There will be another bin taken to Fareway today,” Schultes said.

“So, there will be two bins at Fareway now to help with overflow.

And, we will monitor those bins to see if we need to start having Waste Management come more than twice per week.”

“Sometimes it doesn’t matter if the bins are full or not,” Benbow said. “I have actually went out there myself, picked up the recyclables other people left next to the bin and put the material in the holes.

So, I know it is possible to get it in the holes. It does take a little effort, though. I guess if we are one of the only bins left, people better be nice

DES MOINES (MCT) — Four years after he made his political comeback, Gov. Terry Branstad says the state also has made a comeback.

“But we’re not done yet,” Branstad, who is kicking off his campaign for a sixth term, said in Cedar Rapids Friday.

Just as he did in his Condition of the State speech Tuesday, Branstad laid out few new initiatives, but promised more of the same: more tax cutting, more job creation, more pursuit of educational achievement, more private capital investment and Branstad more state government downsizing.

“I love this state,” he said at a campaign appearance at Diamond V’s production facility in southwest Cedar Rapids. “I was sick of the direction it was going. I’m really proud of the changes we’ve made and where we are today. I think the future looks much, much brighter.”

Branstad didn’t take all of the credit. Much of

Take the effort With True Value and Hy-Vee removing their bins, Crestonians now only have two options to take recycling in city limits. Those options are the two bins now at Fareway in uptown Creston and Prairie Solid Waste Recycling (formerly City Carton Recycling) on Highway 34 on the western part of town.

“And most people aren’t even aware a bin exists at Prairie Solid Waste Recycling,” Schultes said.

That means almost all recyclables for the entire city of Creston are currently being taken to Fareway. Mark Benbow, manager at Fareway, said he deals with the same problems that True Value and Hy-Vee encountered.

the credit belongs to companies like Diamond V, a 71-year-old Iowa company that has invested more than $60 million in facilities in the past five years and has just approved another $30 million expansion, get credit, too, he said.

“That doesn’t happen by accident,” Branstad said later. The largest property tax cut in history, a commitment to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education to prepare students for new jobs like those being created at Diamond V, and shrinking the size and cost of state government are all factors in reducing unemployment and attracting $7.5 billion of capital investment in Iowa since he took office in 2011.

During that time, added Rep. Quentin Stanerson, R-Center Point, unemployment in Linn County has dropped from 6.4 percent to 4.2.

Branstad repeated the themes of his campaign kick-off announcement earlier this week, asking his audience “Are you ready to build Iowa’s future?”

As he listens to Iowans share their dreams, Branstad said, he’s “energized and encouraged to dream even bigger.”

However, his presumptive Democratic challeng-

er, Sen. Jack Hatch of Des Moines, has been critical of Branstad for the lack of a dream.

Iowans, Hatch said, deserve a governor who will deliver solutions “instead of sweeping them under the rug in favor of more politically convenient issues that will help him rack up another election in his quest to be the longest serving governor in U.S. history.”

Polling has shown Branstad with a comfortable lead over Hatch. Just in case, however, six-term Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley was on hand to lend his support.

“He’s a chief executive who’s gotten us out of one of the biggest fiscal holes our state’s ever been in,” Grassley said about Branstad. The governor, he noted, has been able to cut taxes and isn’t spending more than the state takes in.

“The question isn’t government spending. It’s about who we’re spending it on,” according to Hatch.

He’s called for spending more on health care for low-income Iowans and mental health services rather than giving away millions in tax credits for 165 jobs.

because we don’t want a trashy parking lot (at Fareway.) We want a clean establishment.”

Schultes is having discussions with other Creston businesses right now asking for permission to place a recycling bin in their parking lot.

However, she’s not having much luck.

“The bin occupies a lot of space in their parking lot,” Schultes said, “and they are concerned they may run into the same problems other businesses are having with the trash.”

If you’re interested, however, contact Schultes at 641-202-6700.

Curbside recycling?

Iona Allen, city clerk in Corning, and Ty Wheeler, city administrator in Osceola, both said their respective cities had similar problems with the public misusing the recycling bins. Wheeler said often times the public would dump trash in the recycling bins.

“The worst was when people dumped kitty litter in the recycling

bin,” Wheeler said.

However, Wheeler and Allen both agreed those problems came to a halt once their respective cities began offering curbside recycling.

Wheeler noted it’s much easier to identify misuse now with curbside recycling because everyone has their own recycling receptacle.

But, curbside recycling is probably costly, right?

Wheeler said Osceola City Council recently switched from Waste Management to Jim’s Sanitation, and Osceola residents pay $3.65 per month for curbside recycling with Jim’s Sanitation. Residents have two 96-gallon receptacles — one for waste and one for recycling.

Wheeler said the recycling receptacle has a yellow lid and is picked up by Jim’s Sanitation every other week.

Meanwhile, Corning currently has curbside recycling through Waste Management. Allen said their residents pay $3.91 per month for curbside recycling. They also have two receptacles and recycling

is picked up every other week.

“Nobody balked at all about paying the $3 for curbside recycling,” Allen said. “People like the convenience. It’s been a win all the way around for the Corning community.”

So, what about Creston? Could Crestonians get curbside recycling?

Mike Taylor, Creston city administrator, said the city of Creston is currently in the fifth year of a seven-year contract with Waste Management for waste removal services. That contract expires in June 2016. However, curbside recycling is not part of that current contract with the city of Creston.

“We could look at adding curbside recycling before the contract ends (in 2016),” Taylor said. “Both the city and Waste Management would have to be willing to open the contract back up. I don’t know if now is the right time, though. My stance is we wait until the contract expires. However, I don’t disagree that we need to sit down at some point and take a hard look at the future of recycling in Creston.”

U.N. invitation of Iran threatens Syria peace talks BEIRUT (MCT) — A furor has erupted about the United Nations’ decision on Sunday to invite Iran — a staunch backer of Syrian President Bashar Assad — to a long-anticipated Syrian peace conference scheduled to begin Wednesday in Switzerland.

The main U.S.-backed exiled opposition umbrella group, the Syrian National Coalition, has threatened to withdraw from the talks unless the invitation to Iran was retracted. The United States has also objected to Iran’s prospective participation.

The threat of a pullout from the opposition bloc came less than 48 hours after the deeply divided coalition voted on Saturday to attend the conference. That decision came despite objections from many opposition factions who view the process as a betrayal of the uprising against Assad’s government.

The so-called Geneva II conference is slated to be the first face-to-face meeting under international auspices between the Syrian government

and the opposition during almost three years of conflict.

The Obama administration, which had long resisted Tehran’s participation in the conference, said Sunday that the invitation to Iran “must be rescinded” if Iran does not “fully and publicly” accept an underlying principle: That the goal of the Switzerland talks is to establish a transitional government in Syria by “mutual consent” of both parties.

“This is something Iran has never done publicly and something we have long made clear is required,” Jen Psaki, a State Department spokeswoman, said in a statement issued in Washington.

The United States and Russia are the principal organizers of the Geneva conference, set to start Wednesday in the Swiss city of Montreux. Moscow is a major supporter of the Assad government, while Washington backs the Syrian opposition and has called for Assad to step down.

The conference is a follow-up to a U.N.-convened summit in 2012 during which participating nations outlined a road map for peace in Syria, including the creation of a transitional government by “mutual consent” of both sides. But various nations disagree about what those terms mean, a dispute that is at the core of the controversy about Iran’s possible participation.

The United States and its allies contend that the Geneva peace process ultimately requires the removal from power of Assad, whose family has ruled Syria for more than 40 years. The Syrian government and its Russian ally assert that Assad’s removal from office is not guaranteed. That fundamental issue remains unresolved as the Geneva II gathering is set to begin.

On Sunday, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon unveiled the invitation to Iran and said Iran’s foreign minister, Javad Zarif, had pledged to play “a positive and constructive” role in the

conference.

“Foreign Minister Zarif and I agree that the goal of the negotiations is to establish, by mutual consent, a transitional governing body with full executive powers,” Ban said in a statement issued in New York.

The U.N. and Russia have long argued that Iran, a key player in the Syrian crisis, should be invited to the talks.

The United States and the Syrian opposition accuse Tehran of arming and providing extensive military aid to the Syrian government, while encouraging Iran’s ally, Lebanese-based Hezbollah, to send militiamen to Syria to fight alongside Assad’s forces. Iran has acknowledged providing training and other aid to Syria, but has provided few specifics.

Iran regards Syria as a vital ally and has called the uprising in Syria a foreignbacked effort to break Tehran’s alliance with Damascus and Hezbollah.

ticipating in the largely ceremonial Montreux session on Wednesday to show “solidarity” with the peace process, the U.N secretarygeneral said, stressing that Montreux was not a venue for negotiations. Actual talks between the Syrian government and its opponents are slated to begin two days later in Geneva, under the guidance of Lakhdar Brahimi, the U.N. and Arab League’s peace envoy for Syria.

They could be earplugs to cut down on the loud cart noise, but if they are earbuds and the workers are listening to loud music, it could be a problem.

Panther girls pick up second league victory

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

After both teams went scoreless in the game’s first four minutes, Creston got untracked for a 58-53 girls victory in the nightcap of a varsity doubleheader here Friday night.

It was a conference game, so the Panthers improved to 2-4 in the Hawkeye 10 and 4-8 overall going into tonight’s non-conference game at Osceola Clarke. It also avenged a previous 4742 loss to the Monarchs at Denison.

And the Panthers did it with only 60 percent of their usual starting lineup intact.

Junior guard Brenna Baker underwent knee surgery Wednesday and is sidelined until softball season. Senior guard Chelcee Downing was out with illness.

Sophomore guard Taylor Briley stepped up in a starting role for the Panthers and junior Maria Mostek was instrumental in a reserve role in the guard court, after netting four 3-pointers in the JV game.

But the bulk of the point production was achieved closer to the basket, as the Panthers patiently worked several good entry passes and high-low attacks against Denison-Schleswig’s zone defense. Junior forward Natalie Mostek had a huge overall game with 21 points and sophomore post player Jenna Taylor added 19, including seven of the team’s first-quarter points in a 13-5 start.

Natalie Mostek finished with 60 percent shooting from the field (6-of10), 8-of11 at the line, eight rebounds, N. Mostek four assists and four steals while having only one turnover.

Taylor shot 78 percent from the field (7-9) and 5-6 at the line. As a team Creston outscored the Monarchs 19-10 at the free throw line.

“Defensively, we were pretty good in the first half,” Creston coach Larry McNutt said, after his team

took a 29-21 lead at the break. “Up there, their ball screen really bothered us.

We had really good preparation this week, and offensively we had got some nice looks against their zone.”

Sophomore guard Amber Hrabik scored 25 points for Denison-Schleswig (4-8, 0-5), but no other Monarch scored in double figures.

Creston’s lead reached as much as 16 points (24-8) before Denison-Schleswig closed out the first half on a 13-5 run.

Five minutes into the third quarter, the Monarchs seized a one-point lead (3231). Taylor and Natalie Mostek answered with baskets to put the Panthers in front for the duration.

Yet, the margin had shrunk to one again at 5251 when Hrabik made a free throw with 52 seconds left.

Taylor then fouled out with 32 seconds left after Natalie Mostek had given the Panthers a 54-51 edge with a pair of free throws.

Panthers close second at Centerville Raiders second at 2014 Ron Scott Duals by upper heavyeight Jake GutschenBy LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

CENTERVILLE — With a makeshift lineup, the Creston/O-M wrestling team nonetheless made a run at the Mike Halupnick Big Red Tournament here Saturday.

Lee’s Summit West (Mo.), with five state-ranked wrestlers including two rated in the top two in Missouri, ended up with 190 points for a 6.5-point margin over the Panthers.

Lee’s Summit West had three champions and Creston/O-M had two in freshman 145-pounder Chase Shiltz and senior 182-pounder Trevor Frain.

The Panthers had a third finalist in Wyatt Thompson, who took second behind third-ranked Blake Luna of Clarinda at 120 pounds.

A key for the Panthers in topping Hawkeye 10 rival Clarinda by 14 points for second place was a 4-0 record in third-place matches

weight wrestlers Tayler P e t t i t (160), A d a m B a k e r ( 1 7 0 ) , Pettit Seth Maitlen (195) and Kadon Hulett (220).

In addition, Spencer Wray was fifth at 132 pounds and taking seventh were Brody Frain (106), Alex Fargo (126), Cameron Leith (138) and Cody Tanner (285).

There was no Panther entry at 113 pounds as senior Kruz Adamson, likely seeded in the top two, became ill Friday night and was unable to compete. Cameron Leith also filled in an illness situation affecting regular 138-pounder Joey Huntington.

In addition, Garret Taylor filled the 152 weight class as senior Gavin Leith’s shoulder injury from the Kansas City tournament is not quite healed yet. And, with

ritter sidelined by academic ineligibility, Tanner is filling the varsity role as a freshman.

Considering all of the shuffling, coach Darrell Frain said contending for the team title was a positive accomplishment.

“I felt like it was one of the better days of wrestling we’ve had this year,” Frain said, “just in how they competed throughout the day.”

Both Panther champs were dominant. Shiltz (284) won by a technical fall against Iowa City High’s Nic Jarvis, scored an 18-4 major decision of Austin Edwards of Columbus in the semifinals and controlled Knoxville’s Nolan Crossett 3-0 in the final.

“Chase came in as the No. 2 seed, but he wasn’t really threatened in the finals even though the score was lower,” Frain said.

Monarchs rally past Panthers, 62-59

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Cole Thompson (left) leads a Panther fast break in front of teammates Brandon Phipps and Trey Benson (50) against Denison-Schleswig here Friday. Thompson had nine points, two assists and two steals in the 62-59 loss to the Monarchs.

It seems Creston and Denison-Schleswig boys are destined to play down to the wire this season.

After the Monarchs pulled out a 58-53 doubleovertime victory over the Panthers in the Jan. 3 conference matchup, another dramatic finish was in store here Friday.

It didn’t seem that way early, as the Monarchs were scoreless during a Panther 10-0 start in the opening 3:30. Alex Nielsen scored seven of those 10 points during the Panther Nielsen flurry.

By the end of the first period, Creston led 18-10 and it was a 3324 margin at halftime.

Things soon changed, however. Three 3-pointers in the opening minutes of the second half, including two by 6-4 senior Nathan Pardun, quickly turned the tables as Denison-Schleswig took a 41-38 lead.

Creston fell behind by seven points in the fourth quarter (59-52) when junior guard Cody Webb went on a binge of three 3-pointers.

But the Panthers fought back into it and had a chance to tie with possession in the final seven seconds.

Cole Crawford caught the inbounds pass, pump-faked a Monarch defender, and launched a shot near the arc on the run that bounced off the rim at the buzzer, preserving Denison-Schleswig’s 62-59 victory.

“He wasn’t able to get it off in rhythm or anything like that after the pump fake,” Creston coach Billy Hiatt.

He explained the plan for the final shot set up during a timeout with 7.2 seconds remaining, after Cole Thompson’s hustling defensive play had knocked the ball off the leg of a Denison-Schleswig player.

“We ran a play to get an open look at a three in the corner for Crawford,” Hiatt said, “and we ran a double (screen) for Jay Wolfe and have him curl as the second option, because we knew Please see CRESTON, page 7A

GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley took an 18-13 first quarter advantage and turned it into a 16-point lead by the end of the first half, before outscoring the Interstate 35 Roadrunners 17-5 in the third quarter of a 79-43 win here Friday.

“Another solid defensive effort by the Wolverines,” head coach Darrell Burmeister said. “Another solid game from TJ Bower and Jackson Lamb.”

The Wolverines improved to 11-0 for the season and 9-0 in the Pride of Iowa Conference with the win.

Bower recorded a doubledouble in the win, scoring 17 points with 10 assists, and coming up just three rebounds shy of a triple-double with seven. Lamb scored a team-high 22 points for the Wolverines.

Delson Grantham also found double figures, scoring 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Zach Plymesser added seven points.

Mason Clarke also pulled down eight rebounds.

GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley battled back from an early 14-point deficit to force overtime against the lone remaining unbeaten team in the Pride of Iowa Conference, but fell to Interstate 35 here Friday in overtime, 50-46.

The Wolverines fell behind 21-7 as Roadrunner freshman Slye Richardson knocked down four 3-pointers early.

Richardson finished with six 3-pointers for the game, including a big one in overtime.

Nodaway Valley took its first lead of the game at 38-36 with just under 6:00 remaining in the game on a Paige McElfish basket. McElfish scored a team-high 15 points for the Wolverines and also grabbed 12 rebounds.

Nodaway Valley had a shot to win the game in the closing seconds of regulation, but freshman Josie Clarke’s shot was blocked by 6-0 Roadrunner freshman Gracey Griglione, forcing overtime.

The Wolverines took an early 44-42 lead in overtime, but Richardson hit her sixth 3-pointer of the game to put the Roadrunners back on top.

“We had opportunities to win, but just couldn’t get over the hump,” Nodaway Valley head coach Tom Thompson said. “Great effort and hard work got us back in the game.

Girls showed great character by continuing to battle, even when falling behind early.”

Clarke added 12 points for the Wolverines. Josie Carter and Emily Huntington scored six apiece and Jessica Nelson scored five points.

Pleasantville 67, Southwest Valley 38 PLEASANTVILLE — Southwest Valley trailed just 11-8 after the first quarter, but Pleasantville went on to make 13-of16 shots from inside the 3-point arc over the next two quarters to take control in a 67-38 win over the Timberwolves here on Friday.

“We opened up in the first quarter with a slow down game and had an 8-8 tie with a minute left in the quarter,” head coach Jim Obermeier said.

Pleasantville knocked down four 3-pointers in the second and third quarter in addition to the 13 made two-pointers, building a 52-24 lead after three quarters.

Colten Drake led the Timberwolves with 11 points, w h i l e Keegan L o n g abaugh added 10 points.

N i c k S p r i n g Spring scored e i g h t points and grabbed a teamhigh six rebounds.

Spring, Longabaugh and Drake shot a combined 13of-20 from the field, while the rest of the team shot just 3-of-17.

Hiatt said the scenario was similar to the overtime defeat on the Monarchs’ court.

“At their place in double overtime we got some open looks at the end of the game and didn’t hit them either,” Hiatt said. “Tonight we got some open looks, but at times we couldn’t get the ball go through the net sometimes.”

Denison-Schleswig’s Webb did the bulk of his 21-point scoring in the second half, and Hiatt said his players had to adjust to different circumstances than the opening half.

“The game was called differently in the second half and we picked up some quick fouls,” Hiatt

Brandon Phipps added 10 points and Cole Thompson contributed nine points, two assists and two steals.

Creston fell to 5-6 overall going into tonight’s home game against Clarinda, with freshmen tipping off the tripleheader at 4:30 p.m. followed by JV and varsity.

The Monarchs, meanwhile, improved to 7-5 under first-year coach Derek Fink, a 2002 graduate of Denison-Schleswig.

“Both games with Creston were certainly exciting for the fans to watch and exciting for our guys,” Fink said. “There could be a lot of schools of thought on why we started out so slow.

From right, CHS students Lorelei Herrod, Lidiya Gortman and Ryan Vasquez “feel the love” with Jane L. Powell — the goddess of soul — Saturday at the Warren Cultural Center in Greenfield.

‘Goddess of Soul’ advises students, gives concert GREENFIELD — On the afternoon of Jan. 18, four students from Creston and Nodaway Valley high schools met Jane L. Powell, the “goddess of soul,” at Warren Cultural Center in Greenfield. The students were Stefan Queck of Nodaway Valley and Ryan Vasquez, Lorelei Harrod and Lidiya Gortman, all of Creston.

Queck and Vasquez were the first to sing for Powell, a former “Dreamgirls” Broadway singer and backup singer to the Platters.

After their performances, Powell’s pianist Dave Ylvisaker — also known as Pork Chop — began playing the opening measures of “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey.

Harrod came to the stage to perform her rendition of the song. This was followed by

Gortman singing her opera number.

Powell gave feedback to each singer — from visualizing what is being sung, to using hand movement expressively. The session was an add-on to the premier series concert contract by Warren Cultural Center, one of several the center has offered area school students since the re-opening of the center.

Powell and her band’s performance began at 7 p.m. During the evening’s entertainment, Powell sang “Let the Good Times Roll,” “Stand By Me,” “Yesterday,” “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay” and “Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone.”

Powell sang “God Bless America” to honor veteran Clarence Pfundheller,

Adair County’s Pearl Harbor survivor.

Powell then described her afternoon session with the students and invited them to come on stage.

The three Creston girls

unexpectedly sang for the audience.

Powell ended the show with “Let’s Get Together” and Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World.”
