Adjusting to a new routine

Iowa by Trail app launches Android version

Kari and Mindy Stalker start looking for new owner as they shift focus from business to families.

Any good workout routine requires a few changes.

Curves co-owners Kari and Mindy Stalker are working on a game plan to find a new owner for Curves and their tanning business.

“We would love somebody that will be as passionate as we were when we first started,” Kari said. “This is a great place, this is a great business, we are just on to our next chapter.”

Kari and Mindy’s quickly growing families have shifted their focus for what is best to keep their businesses growing in uptown Creston.

“When we started, we didn’t have any employees, we worked all the hours,” Mindy said. “After we each got married, we had established our business. Then we started having kids and that changed the dynamic of our business and our availability.”

Kari and her husband Todd have three children, Charlie, 3, Sam, 2, and Hadley, 1. They are expecting their fourth child in June.

Mindy and her husband T.J. have two children, C.T.,

“SMART is like a personal trainer telling you to go harder and faster,” Kari said.

“When you are done with your workout, you put your key tag in the computer and it tells you how many calories you burned and what muscle groups you worked.”

Mindy added that the Curves franchise is constantly researching new fitness programs to help their members through resources at Texas A&M University and the Cleveland Clinic.

To compliment the Jillian Michaels workouts, Curves has added balance and core

The Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation (INHF) gave Android users another reason to get outside and enjoy the unseasonably warm January weather with the launch of their app Saturday.

Iowa by Trail provides users an interactive map that locates nearby trails, alerts the user of points of interest along the way and communicate with friends and followers about their activity along the trail.

The app also tracks distance, current weather conditions, news and events. Android users can find the app in the Google Play Store.

Since the app launched for iPhone in 2014, Iowa by Trail has been used more than 58,000 times. INHF worked with Shift Interactive of West Des Moines to create both the Android and iOS version of the mobile app.

Creston High School graduate Matt Glynn was one of the main designers for the iPhone app project.

“It creates a whole new experience and allows people to start looking at trail use in a different way,” Glynn said. “The user can add photos so people can see actual photographs of the trail and points of interest along

7, and Marlee, 5.

New home Curves started in Creston in 1999 and the late Tim Stalker bought the business in 2000.

When his future daughterin-law Kari moved to Creston in 2005, she took over the management responsibilities of Curves. Mindy moved to Creston later that year.

Kari and Mindy became the owners and operators of Curves in 2006.

“It was a fantastic way for us to meet a large part of the community,” Mindy said.

“We love the service-type atmosphere that Curves provides.”

As the only two employees

when they took ownership, the new sisters-in-law split the duties as new business owners. Their husbands, Todd and T.J., were also busy working together as co-owners of Stalker Chevrolet.

“We are both active people and (Curves) interested both of us,” Mindy said.

Improvements Over their nine years in business together, Kari and Mindy have added several improvements to Curves and the tanning business.

They reached a peak of 260 memberships and helped bring in a new fitness program with Jillian Michaels and SMART equipment technology.

Panther fans hold their collective breath as Creston’s Christian Groumoutis (22) launches a 3-pointer at the buzzer against Council Bluffs St. Albert here Friday night.

The shot caromed high off the rim, and nearly fell into the net before bouncing off, leaving St. Albert as the 56-55 winner.

RAGBRAI declares overnight towns For the first time since the first RAGBRAI, Iowa’s annual cycling circus will launch from Sioux City and end in Davenport.

“It’s kind of a neat thing taking us back to 1973,” said T.J. Juskiewicz, director of the Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa. I n that initial year, two Des Moines Register writers were stunned by how many

people joined them for all or part of the six-day (not seven) journey.

With 462 miles and nearly 16,000 feet of climb, the 2015 ride falls in the middle of the road for difficulty, relative to past rides.

The overnight towns stick slightly north of state center for five days before dipping just south of Interstate Highway 80.

About 10,000 riders will spend their overnights in Sioux City, Storm Lake, Fort Dodge, Eldora, Cedar Falls, Hiawatha and Iowa River Landing/Coralville before the ride ends in Davenport.

Juskiewicz calls it “a good old-fashioned RAGBRAI” — with at least one exciting new twist: an optional gravel loop for cyclists brave

Giles charged on lascivious acts with child Kevin Jay Giles, 43, 402 N. Oak St., was charged on a Union County warrant for lascivious acts with a child at 6:43 p.m. Thursday.

According to a Union County Sheriff report, on or about Dec. 28, the Creston Police Department was contacted by the parents of a minor child born after Jan. 1, 2004. The parents reported the child had been a party to inappropriate physical contact with Giles.

The child participated in a forensic interview conducted with the assistance of the Department of Human Giles Services child abuse assessment investigator. The child confirmed the initial report that an adult had touched the child in an inappropriate manner and that he touched her genital area. Subsequent interviews resulted in the discovery of separate information which corroborated the allegation made by the child.

Giles was being held awaiting appearance before the magistrate.

the way.”

According to INHF, Iowa’s trails drew approximately 1.8 million visitors to the state who spent about $17.8 million at local resturants and businesses.

“When you’re on the trail, you inherently understand the connection between communities, natural resources, and the economy,” said Hannah Inman, INHF communications director in a press release.

“This app takes that one step farther. It allows for

a business to communicate with a new visitor that’s passing through or for a town to showcase its unique treasures. It allows someone to stop to take a look at a stream and understand its connection to our drinking water. This is something that no one else in the country has at a statewide level.

It showcases what makes Iowa special.”

This spring, Iowa by Trail is planning to add more than 4,000 miles of additional routes including water, mountain bike and state park hiking trails.

Bald eagles return to Iowa again as they migrate The area around Iowa City and Coralville is a prime location for seeing bald eagles because of the Iowa River, the Coralville Reservoir and the Burlington Street dam.

■

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa bird watchers will be able to spot bald eagles this winter as the animals visit in search of warmer weather.

Thousands of bald eagles cross Iowa each winter as they migrate south.

Wildlife experts say any location that offers open water where the eagles can hunt is likely to offer a good chance to see them, the Iowa City Press-Citizen reports.

The area around Iowa City and Coralville is a prime location for seeing bald eagles because of the Iowa River, the Coralville Reservoir and the Burlington Street dam.

An eagle watching event will also be held at North Central Junior High in North Liberty on Feb. 7.

“There are a lot of people who love nothing more than to see a bald eagle fly above them,” said Joe Wilkinson, spokesman for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

The bald eagle was near extinction in the 1960s due to habitat destruction, illegal shooting and food source contamination, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Conservation efforts have helped the bald eagle population rebound nationwide over the past several decades. The eagles were removed from the list of threatened and endangered species in 1997.

“We see a sharp increase in bald eagles as they migrate down from Canada or Wisconsin,” said Jodeane Cancilla, director of the MacBride Raptor Project at Lake MacBride State Park.

“Winter in Iowa, whether people in Iowa believe it or not, is much warmer than up there.”

Cancilla’s organization has been helping bald eagles and other raptors rehabilitate after injuries for 28 years.

Tim Thompson, a wildlife management biologist for the state Department of Natural Resources, said the number of bald eagles varies each winter because of conditions.

For instance, when the river is covered in snow, the eagles may fly further south.

“But as past numbers have indicated, more will be coming. We have much more bald eagles now than in the previous 15 or 20 years,” Thompson said.

Where did the vacuum bags go?

Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about vacuums: “My friends and I would like to know why vacuum-cleaner bags have disappeared.

How could anyone think that dumping dirt and clouds of filth into a clean wastebasket, then dealing with it a second time, is a step up from neat disposable bags? These bags can be placed in the garbage without sending clouds of dust back into the room.” — F.M., Fayetteville, Ark. Someone did, and he or she probably doesn’t even vacuum! I have three different brands and types of vacuums, plus three “robotic” ones, and I dislike the bagless upright the most. Gee, maybe the manufacturers thought it was a good idea that the consumer can see the dirt? That we don’t have to buy vacuum bags? What if you live in an apartment? There is no garage to dump the dirt out from the vacuum canister. — Heloise P.S.: There is one exception in my household: I love my robotic vacuums! I just set “Zumba 1” in a room and let it do its job.

Panthers claim fourth straight John J Harris crown

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

CORNING — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg won nine of 11 placing matches and crowned five individual champions here Saturday at the John J Harris Invitational, winning the prestigious western Iowa tournament for the fourth straight year.

The Panthers scored 237 points to pull away from New Hampton, coached by former Panther assistant Nick Hemann, on the final day of the tournament. New Hampton finished second with 170.5 points, while Clarinda placed third with 166 points.

Bedford/Lenox finished eighth with 66.5 points, while Mount Ayr placed 11th with 59.5 points. Host Southwest Valley finished 23rd with four points during the two-day tournament.

Winning a fourth straight John J Harris title is an accomplishment for the Panthers.

“You kind of take it for granted. It’s a big tournament for everybody and we’ve kind of had a stranglehold on winning it every year,” Creston/O-M head coach Darrell Frain said. “It’s exciting, because it’s such a big tournament for western Iowa, and

the community, when they talk tournaments, they always talk John Harris. It holds a little clout.”

Midway through Saturday’s first round, New Hampton clung to a 136-135.5 advantage over the Panthers.

But Creston/O-M’s success in the upper weights during that round, along with success on the backside of the tournament, carried the Panthers to the final 66.5-point margin of victory.

“I knew our depth was a little better,” Frain said. “They brought seven really, really good kids. Their depth after that dropped off a little bit. I knew backside, the consolation bracket would kind of get us back to where we needed to be. That final round, that put us over the top.”

Five champs The Panthers advanced six wrestlers to championship matches, going 5-of-6 in those championship matches.

Spencer Wray (138), Joey Huntington (145), Chase Shiltz (160), Seth Maitlen (195) and Kadon Hulett (220) claimed John J Harris Invitational titles, while senior Tayler Pettit finished runner-up at 170 pounds.

Maitlen and Hulett both redeemed losses from earlier in the season in their respective championship matches.

Maitlen, ranked eighth, secured a 3-1 victory in overtime against seventh-ranked Christian Lauritsen of Clarinda. Hulett controlled his match against Clarinda’s Brook Stephens before winning by fall in 3:18.

“Actually at 195 and 220, those were rematches we lost early in the year,” Frain said.

“Both were exciting wins for us. Maitlen getting it last second in overtime there and then Hulett dominated at 220.”

Shiltz remained unbeaten for the season, winning a 13-4 major decision over 10thranked Colton Ranney of Central Decatur in the finals for his second John J Harris championship as a sophomore.

Huntington picked up his 100th career victory in Saturday’s semifinals, when he pinned Coon Rapids-Bayard’s Zach Evans in 5:13.

The Panther junior was never threatened in a 5-2 victory over Atlantic’s Reid Nichols in the finals.

Wray won his first tournament championship of the season in a wild 138-pound final. The Panther senior bested New Hampton’s Ryan Gorman 13-10, after getting caught in a cradle twice in the final period.

“He had a little mental

lapse there. He let up and got caught up in a cradle, which turned into some massive scrambles,” Frain said. “But he fought through it. He said he got the cradle on and he could see the clock. It was about 1:20 left and he said ‘I gotta get going.’ Really good win for him.”

Final wins The Panthers also won four out of five consolation final

matches, which Frain credited for pushing Creston/O-M to the team title.

“That’s one of the biggest emphasis I put in a tournament is on how well we do in a final round,” he said. “We won some third/fourth place matches, we won most of our championship matches. When you go through frustrations during the day, those make them go away when you get

those big wins at the end of the day. That final round, that was exciting for us.”

Wyatt Thompson (132), Jackson Mikkelsen (182) and Jake Gutschenritter (285) finished third for the Panthers.

Mitchel Swank (126) won his fifth-place match and Trevor Marlin (120) finished sixth.

Panthers suffer second H-10 loss on late putback St. Albert girls hot early in 19-point victory

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

St. Albert boys made seven 3-pointers in building a 35-24 halftime lead and then overcame a Creston rally to edge the Panthers Friday, 56-55.

Sam Hartsock sank four 3-pointers in the first half to help Creston stay within striking range, and all-state senior Jay Hartsock Wolfe began an 18-point second half with a three. His second triple of the quarter cut it to two points at 40-38.

A drive to the basket by Wolfe with 6:11 left gave the Panthers their first lead at 46-

45. From there, it was a battle to the end.

Creston had a 55-54 lead with under a minute to play, but gave St. Albert possession on a five-second call out front with 32 seconds left.

St. Albert missed a 3-pointer from the corner, but 6-5, 260-pound senior center Jackson Scott-Brown grabbed the miss, missed his own shot but then grabbed it again and dropped it in with only two seconds left.

Trailing by one, the Panthers went into a series of wheel cuts near midcourt, with long-range shooter Christian Groumoutis receiving the inbounds pass. He had time for a dribble before launching a 3-point shot.

It caromed up from the front of the rim, then dropped down just off the mark as time expired.

“I told the guys at half,

they’re going to make their run. You gotta be ready for that gym to explode,” said St. Albert coach Dale Scott. “We got a good look at a three there at the end. Jackson scrambled for the rebound and got his own offensive rebound. We were wobbling there for awhile, but we came back when Travis Miller hit a three to cut their lead to one.”

“You have to play 32 minutes of basketball,” Creston coach Brett Watson said.

“Give them credit. They came out and made shots.

We played with energy and a lot of passion to come back on them. Earlier we were not being aggressive against their zone, not penetrating against it. You can’t play passive, back on your heels.”

Wolfe finished with 27 points and Hartsock had 18 for the Panthers, falling to 9-4 overall and 5-2 in Hawkeye 10 play. St. Albert improved to 5-9 and 2-4, rebounding well from a loss three days earlier at Shenandoah, which hosts the Panthers on Friday.

The conference leaders are Denison-Schleswig 6-2, with Harlan and Creston each 5-2 and Atlantic at 6-3.

ST. ALBERT (56) — Travis Miller 4 4-7 16, Cole McBride 4 2-2 12, Jake Petry 3 0-0 9, Jackson Scott-Brown 4 1-2 9, Drew Carlson 2 0-0 5, Gage Bowman 2 1-1 5. Totals — 19 8-12 56. 3-point goals — 10 (Miller 4, Petry 3, McBride 2, Carlson 1). Team fouls — 14.

St. Albert girls made four 3-pointers in building an early 22-4 lead in taking a road victory at Creston Friday night, 58-39.

The revamped Saintes’ lineup withstood Creston’s 15-10 second quarter as the Panthers pulled to within seven (26-19) at halftime.

Alyssa Carley, 5-11 transfer from Treynor playing her third game for St. Albert, scored 21 points. Paige Beacom, transfer from Lewis Central, and Allison Wettengel each scored 11 points. St. Albert made six 3-pointers.

Taylor Briley, batting through an ankle injury suffered in practice Wednesd a y , scored 14 p o i n t s . Briley J e n n a Taylor matched Briley with 14 points and grabbed a teamhigh 11 rebounds. Brenna Baker added eight points.

St. Albert improved to 8-7 overall and 2-5 in Hawkeye 10 play. Creston fell to 8-6 overall and 4-5 in league play.

“They came out making

shots,” Creston coach Brent Douma said. “In the second quarter we really fought.

From down 22-4 we made it 26-19 at the half. The girls did a nice job there.”

St. Albert regained control with a 13-6 third quarter as Creston’s offense stalled.

“We didn’t talk and got caught in that backscreen play three times,” Douma said. “They came in shooting 23 percent from the 3-point line for the year and they really shot it tonight.

It was unbelievable. They were all 5-10, 5-11 so they were a bad matchup for some of our girls.”

Creston has a makeup game at Interstate 35 of Truro tonight with another road trip Tuesday to Chariton.

4-H Volunteer of the Year: Macy Evans and Darin Hatfield of the Union County 4-H Youth

Council present Sara Bolinger with the “4-H Volunteer of the Year” award for her continued dedication, time and support to the Union County 4-H program. She was unable to be present at the 4-H recognition ceremony Jan. 3, so Evans and Hatfield presented Bolinger her plaque of recognition at NAPA. Bolinger plays a large role in Union County’s 4-H program as she is a member and treasurer of the local Friends of 4-H group where she is in charge of trophy sponsorships and annual pie auction.

She also serves on the Sale Committee for the county fair and takes time out her busy schedule to announce the beef, swine, sheep and goat shows during the county fair.

Veterans on the Hill: Rep. Jack Drake, R-Griswold, meets with veterans at the Capitol.

Dave Tripp, Frank Riley, Gary O’Daniels and Tom Hawks of Creston visited the Capitol for the Veterans Day on the Hill event.

Small drone crashes at White House complex, origin unclear WASHINGTON (AP) — A small drone flying at low altitude crashed into the White House complex before dawn Monday, the Secret Service said. President Barack Obama was not at home and the White House said it did not pose a security threat.

The crash prompted an immediate lockdown of the White House grounds until officials could examine the drone.

The Secret Service said the 2-foot-long device was a quadcopter — a small, un-

manned aircraft that is lifted by four propellers.

“An investigation is underway to determine the origin of this commercially available device, motive, and to identify suspects,” said Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary. He said the drone crashed on the southeast side of the White House complex just after 3 a.m.

Many small quadcopters are essentially sophisticated toys that can also be useful for commercial operations like

aerial photography and inspection. Often weighing only a few pounds, they sell for as little as a few hundred dollars or less, and were popular Christmas gifts last year. More elaborate models sells for thousands.

The president and first lady Michelle Obama are traveling in India and were not present for the incident. But it was unclear whether their daughters, Sasha and Malia, were at home with their grandmother, Marian Robinson.
