Snowstorm could drop 8”

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

A snowstorm predicted to move into southwest Iowa Tuesday morning could leave 5 to 8 inches of fresh snowfall, meteorologist said.

National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a winter storm watch for all of the Creston News Advertiser coverage area from Tues-

day morning through Tuesday evening. Additionally, north winds are expected to increase Tuesday evening causing blowing and drifting snow that will create hazardous travel conditions.

“You never know what kind of snowfall we will end up with,” said Jo Duckworth, emergency management coordinator in Union County.

“The last snowstorm missed us to the south. However,

if roads do deteriorate Tuesday into Tuesday evening people need to ask themselves, how im- Duckworth portant is it that I travel?”

Drake highlights focal points for legislative session

The city’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2014-15 was released earlier this month. That budget sets a levy at $13.94 per $1,000 of valuation — up 99 cents from $12.95 this year.

Mike Taylor, Creston city administrator, said several factors led to the increased levy for FY2015, including two major capital projects that will be completed over the next five n A public to six years.

The first is a hearing for bridge replacement the city’s proproject on Adams Street near McKin- posed FY2015 ley Park. Bridge in- budget is spectors estimate it has only seven more slated 6 p.m. years of useful life.

The second capital project involves improving the restored Creston Depot. An architectural firm has already began investigating what structural and cosmetic upgrades are needed at the depot. The estimated cost for that project is $500,000, which will be funded over at least a five-year period.

Iowa kicked off the 2014 legislative session with money in the bank, but legislators are hesitant to use that money to make “one-time” fixes.

Rep. Jack Drake, R-Griswold, gave a summary of his focus points for the current legislative session during Creston Chamber of Commerce’s legislative coffee Saturday morning at the restored depot.

He said Iowa had a very good year this past year and was able to pay off some bonds and debt, saving the state money on interest.

“Where our concern is, when you have an extraordinarily good year, will you have that good year again next year?” Drake said. “If it isn’t as good and you take all that money and spend it on ongoing programs, then you have to make up that short fall.”

One of the areas legislators are debating — and was the main topic of concern during Saturday’s meeting — is an increase in the gas tax to help improve road conditions.

Iowa Rep. Jack Drake responds to a question during Creston Chamber of Commerce’s first legislative coffee of 2014 at the restored depot. About 25 people attended to listen to Rep. Drake’s update of the start of the legislative session and to ask questions.

Woods and former county supervisor Bob Brown both spoke in favor of the gas tax to help improve area road conditions.

Brown said counties are being forced to bond to maintain roads.

“I am not taking a position yet (in favor or against the gas tax), but I am going to give a full consideration to a gas tax increase,” Drake said.

In addition to the gas tax, Drake is focused on Iowa’s conservation practices. He wants to help reduce the amount of nutrient drainage and continue investing in a cover crop program.

Farmers using cover crops for the first time in 2013 were able to use funding from the state to plant 160 acres of cover crops. The program was maxed out by partici-

Drake said the program was a success, but the governor’s budget did not include cover crops.

“We are trying to find money, but about everything else has tied up the budget already,” Drake said. “Trying to find that money is not

Taylor said fiscal year 2014-15 is the final year in a three-year contract with union employees whereby employees will again receive a 2 percent wage increase. Taylor said almost all nonunion employees will receive the same 2 percent increase.

Taylor added insurance costs for the city will not increase for fiscal year 2014-15. However, employee contributions to the insurance plan

Vincent was a bus driver in the Corning community for 38 years.

Vincent lived his entire life in the Corning community.

Vincent served one term as mayor of Corning from 1966-68 and on several committees in Des Moines.

Vincent was a member of St. Patrick Catholic Church, Knights of Columbus and Adams County Farm Bureau, where he formerly served as president. He was also a former member of Iowa D.O.T. Commission.

BUDGET: Continued from Page 1

will increase 1 percent for family plans — from 9 to 10 percent for both union and non-union employees.

Nuisances Taylor said the city also has plans of acquiring and demolishing five nuisance properties in FY2015. They’ve bud-

geted $60,000 for those five demolitions. The last time the city demolished a nuisance property was at 405 N. Cherry Street in December. That came with a price tag of $15,350.

Other increases Taylor said general operating costs are up across the board. He mentioned the law enforcement bud-

get went up significantly because of issues with rooftop air conditioning Taylor units that need replaced.

Taylor said another costly purchase in the FY2015

budget is a street sweeper.

The current sweeper is about 10 years old and needs replaced. Taylor added there is no bonding planned in the proposed FY2015 budget.

A public hearing for the 2014-15 proposed budget is slated 6 p.m. Tuesday at the council chambers inside the restored Creston Depot.

Horoscope Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You know that sometimes you have a short fuse. (Moi?) Today, this will be tested. The Moon is in your sign, opposing your ruler, Mars. Bite your tongue if you feel annoyed by someone.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An undercurrent of resentment or anger might run through your day. Just let this go. Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be patient with children today.

Similarly, be patient with friends and romantic partners.

These are areas where you are likely to lose it in a New York minute.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be diplomatic when talking to bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs, because you are high-viz today whether you like it or not. An angry comment that slips out will be noticed by others, especially people in power.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Travel plans might be interrupted today. If so, don’t blow your cool. Similarly, glitches with publishing, the media, medicine and the law are likely.

Stay chill.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Disputes about shared property, taxes and debt might arise today. Always remember that you get more flies with honey than with vinegar.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Disputes with partners and close friends are likely today; fortunately, they will be shortlived. Therefore, keep smiling and demonstrate grace under pressure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Co-workers might annoy you today. Ignore this, and keep the big picture in mind.

What is your objective?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Parents must be patient with children today, because patience is the antidote to anger. It doesn’t remove anger, but it holds it in check.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Family disputes might arise today, especially with female relatives. Ask yourself if any of this will really matter two years from now. Probably not.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a mildly accidentprone day for your

sign, simply because you might be emotionally distracted or become angered by someone.

Don’t let this happen. It will only rob you of your good judgment.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might have to defend money, cash flow or something you own today. You also might dispute the values of someone else. Be tactful.

There’s no point in winning the battle and then losing the war.

YOU BORN TODAY You are unconventional and brave.

Because you do things in your own way, you make an impression on others, but you don’t need their approval to be happy. You have a unique way of doing things that frequently amazes people. You need to have long-term goals. In your coming year, you will learn or study something important.

Make time for this.

SPORTS The Numbers Game

The number of seconds it took for the first score on Sunday, a Super Bowl record. Seattle opened the scoring on a safety after a bad snap by Denver.

National Digest

Super Seahawks EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Waiting to get their hands on the Lombardi Trophy, the Seattle Seahawkswere surrounded by security guards in orange jackets.

It was the first time anyone in that color stopped them all night.

The Seahawks stayed true to their mantra to make each day a championship day. They made Super Bowl Sunday the best day of all with one of the greatest performances in an NFL title game -- sparked by a defense that ranks among the best ever.

The Seahawks won their first Super Bowl crown by punishing Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos 43-8.

That masterful defense, the NFL’s stingiest, never let the five-time MVP get going, disarming the highest-scoring offense in league history.

“The only way we could say we were the best defense was to take down the best offense,” linebacker Bobby Wagner said.

Seattle (16-3) was too quick, too physical and just too good for Denver.

What was hyped as a classic matchup between an unstoppable offense and a miserly defense turned into a rout.

Punctuating Seattle’s dominance was a 69-yard interception return touchdown by linebacker Malcolm Smith to make it 22-0, and Percy Harvin’s sensational 87-yard kickoff return to open the second half.

When the Seahawks, up by 29 points, forced a Denver punt early in the third quarter, the 12th Man — and there were legions of them in MetLife Stadium — began chanting “L-O-B, L-O-B.” As in Legion of Boom, the Seahawks’ hard-hitting secondary, part of a young team with an average age of 26 years, 138 days.

The loss by the Broncos again raised questions about Manning’s ability to win the biggest games. He is 11-12 in the postseason, 1-2 in Super Bowls. After the game, he brushed off questions about his legacy.

“Certainly to finish this way is very disappointing. It’s not an easy pill to swallow,” said Manning, who threw for a record 55 touchdowns in 2013, two years after missing an entire season because of neck surgeries. “I don’t know if you ever really get over it.”

He never looked comfortable against a defense some will begin comparing to the 1985 Bears and 2000 Ravens — other NFL champions who had runaway Super Bowl victories.

Seattle forced four turnovers; Denver had 26 all season.

All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman left with a high ankle sprain in the fourth quarter. He celebrated on crutches.

Wilson, who has an NFL-record 28 wins in his first two pro seasons, including playoffs, had a 23yard TD pass to Jermaine Kearse late in the third quarter to make it 36-0.

Panthers 3-peat as H-10 champs

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

DENISON — Depth was the key here Saturday for the Creston/Orient-Macksburg wrestling team, as it wrapped up a three-peat of the Hawkeye 10 Tournament and a season sweep of the Hawkeye 10 crowns.

The Panthers rolled to the team title, scoring 258.5 points, besting second-place Clarinda’s 195. Glenwood finished third with 178 points.

Creston/O-M seized control of the team race early on, advancing 12 of 14 wrestlers to the semifinals and nine to the finals. The Panthers crowned five individual champions.

“Our depth is what carried us through the whole day,” head coach Darrell Frain said.

“We might not have finished the final round as strong as we would have liked to, but like I said, our depth is what carried us early and kept us in the lead the whole time.”

Frain said a change in training over the past several years is what’s led to his team’s success in the Hawkeye 10 Tournament.

“All those years we won state and everything, we never won it,” he said. “The last three years we’ve kind of changed our training coming into it. I used to just kill them during this week and we didn’t wrestle well at all.

We’ve pulled back the last three years and it’s paid off with winning it three years in a row.”

Champions After advancing nine wrestlers to the finals, Frain said he would have liked to have finished with more than just five individual champions.

Still, it was a successful day

for the Panthers.

Kruz Adamson (113) and Trevor Frain (170) became repeat Hawkeye 10 champions, while Joey Huntington (138), Chase Shiltz (145) and Adam Baker (182) each won his first conference championship.

Adamson built an early lead in his finals match against Jorge Partida of Denison, but Partida scored a takedown late in the match to make the score 6-4, as Adamson avoided being turned to his back to seal the win.

Frain dominated his finals matchup, winning a 15-0 technical fall in 3:08. He couldn’t even be stopped by a pair Frain of blood timeouts.

In the process, Frain also picked up the 175th victory of his career.

In the 138-pound finals, Huntington scored a takedown in the final 25 seconds to break a 6-6 tie, earning an 8-6 decision over Clarinda’s Trey Stickler.

Shiltz, ranked sixth in Class 2A, earned his championship, beating a pair of ranked wrestlers on his way to the 145 crown.

The Panther freshman fell behind 4-0 early to Kuemper Catholic’s Jared Eischeid in the finals, but stayed calm and grinded out an 11-5 win.

“He didn’t panic, just kept doing what he does and kept grinding on him the whole match,” Frain said. “And eventually, it led to more points and more points. It ended up being a pretty big lead. The score didn’t indicate

how close of a match it was.”

Baker picked up a 6-2 decision over Clarinda’s Cain Johanns to win his first Hawkeye 10 crown — and the first in- Baker dividual tournament title of his career. He also picked up the 100th win of his career.

“Adam getting 100 and it’s the first tournament he’s ever won, so big time to start

winning tournaments,” Frain said.

Close call The Panthers came just :01 away from crowning a sixth champion, as sophomore Seth Maitlen nearly won the 195-pound title.

Maitlen built an early lead on Harlan’s Cale Stork in the finals, but gave up a takedown in the final :10 and tried to survive the final :05 without being turned to his back.

But, Stork was awarded the nearfall points in the final second, scoring a 6-5 come-frombehind win over Maitlen.

“Stork does a lot of highrisk moves with the chance of putting us on our back, but we were in control of the match to a degree,” Frain said. “We just have to be a little smarter in the end. When it matters to go to state, we can’t let that happen. We’ve got to make sure if we’re ahead, it doesn’t get to that point.”

The other Panthers who finished runner-up were Wyatt Thompson (120), Spencer Wray (132) and Gavin Leith Please see H-10, page 6A

Panthers hold off surging Mustangs Panther girls come up

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

The Creston boys survived a scare Friday from a team it routed 94-67 in early December.

An improved Shenandoah team under first-year coach Jason Shaffer trailed just 3432 at halftime and took a 4037 lead early in the third period.

Then a flurry of transition layups off of steals and active offensive rebounding triggered a 12-0 Creston run for a 56-45 Panther command in the final minute of the quarter.

Creston survived a 3-point shooting binge in the fourth quarter to hold off the Mustangs, 70-68.

“They’ve been playing real well. He (Shaffer) has them going in the right direction,” Creston coach Billy Hiatt said.

Coming off an upset win over a ranked Carroll Kuemper team that knocked off Harlan Friday for the second

time this season, the Panthers found themselves in a dogfight with a sharp-shooting Shenandoah team.

“We were on that high from beating Kuemper,” Hiatt said, “and we talked about how they are playing well.

They fought hard tonight. I’m just glad to get a W.” Shaffer, whose team falls to 10-7 overall and 4-4 in the Hawkeye 10, said the Mustangs exhibited qualities he’s been trying to instill in his initial season at the helm. The Shenandoah Middle School principal has previous experience coaching in the Omaha area.

“It’s a culture thing,” Shaffer said. “We want to come out and play hard the entire game. Play defense for 32 minutes, no matter what the score is. We gave ourselves a chance against a good team on the road.”

Creston improved to 9-7 overall. At 6-3, the Panthers are tied for fourth place in the conference with the Glenwood team they meet Tues-

day on the Rams’ court. It is a non-conference game, as Creston opened the season with a 62-53 conference win over the Rams.

“It’ll be a tough game,” Hiatt said. “They are in our district with Atlantic and Winterset. There’s a good chance it could be our second game, if we win the first one.”

Friday’s contest was also much tougher than many might have expected. The big 12-0 run was erased rapidly by three Shenandoah 3-pointers.

By making eight 3-pointers, the Mustangs nearly overcame Creston’s 20-4 scoring advantage at the free throw line.

A Shenandoah steal and layup gave Shenandoah a momentary 66-65 lead with 55 seconds left.

Then Jay Wolfe, who led the Panthers with 25 points, made a driving basket and free throw for a three-point play. Shenandoah missed from the field, and Wolfe was fouled on the rebound, leading to another free throw to make it 69-66.

Payden Anderson’s driving basket for Shenandoah cut it to a one-point margin again, but Creston guard Brandon Phipps was fouled with 17 seconds left. He made the first charity shot and missed the second, leaving it at 70-68.

On the ensuing Mustang possession, the ball was knocked out of bounds with 2.7 seconds left, giving the visitors one more chance at a tying or winning shot.

Sophomore forward Makonn Anderson fielded the inbounds pass and launched a shot from the corner that came up short, leaving the Mustangs three points shy of their seventh win in their last nine games.

Cole Thompson and Alex Nielsen each scored 14 points for Creston. Wolfe had nine rebounds, and Nielsen and Thompson each grabbed six.

short at Shenandoah

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

SHENANDOAH — The Creston girls basketball team kept things close with Shenandoah all the way until the end of the game here Friday, but could never take the lead in a 57-51 loss.

The Fillies, now 14-3 overall and second place in the Hawkeye 10 Conference at 6-2, dropped out of the latest state rankings after previously being ranked 15th.

The Panthers, now 7-11 overall and 2-7 in the Hawkeye 10, trailed by as many as six several times in the second half, but fought back each time.

Creston cut the lead to one and even tied the game on several occasions, but could never push in front.

“It was one of those games, you felt like if we could ever get ahead in the fourth quarter we could pull it out,” head coach Larry McNutt said. “But we just could never quite get ahead.”

Part of the reason the Panthers were in the game was the strong play of junior Natalie Mostek on both ends of the floor.

Mostek drew the assignment of defending all-state post player Serena Parker, who averages 17.8 points per game.

Mostek h e l d Mostek Parker to just five points on one made field goal in the game.

Offensively, Mostek led the way for the Panthers scoring a game-high 18 points and grabbing seven rebounds.

“She played well on both ends of the court,” McNutt

said. “She did a good job on Parker to hold her to one field goal. We were playing box and one, and she fronted and we helped her.”

With Mostek keeping the Panthers in the game on the offensive end, Shenandoah switched to a box-and-one defense on her in the second half.

That enabled sophomore Camryn Somers to get some open looks from the high post position, and she scored 12 points — all in the second half.

“We go the ball to Camryn at the high post for open shots, so she did a good job there,” McNutt said. “She didn’t hit anything the first half. More importantly, they had to get out of that defense, because we were scoring.”

But, foul trouble with Somers and with Jenna Taylor down the stretch hampered Creston. Both players eventually fouled out of the game, as Shenandoah stretched the lead late while the Panthers attempted to extend the game.

The Panthers next host Glenwood on Tuesday in a preview of their first round matchup in regional play.

The Rams won the first contest, 58-35.

Iowa Economic Development Association (SIEDA) Friday afternoon in the form of a $198,000 check.

Alliant Energy’s Hometown Care Energy Fund collects donations from shareowners, employees, retirees and customers. The donations are then distributed by community action agencies, such as SIEDA, to those who are unable to keep up with the high costs of heating.

Aller and Chris Messer, senior manager of customer operations at the Ottumwa

Alliant Energy facility, were on hand to deliver the check to SIEDA Executive Director Brian Dunn and Ned VanNostrand of SIEDA’s housing department Friday at the new SIEDA location on Main Street in Ottumwa.

Those who are unsure if they meet the guidelines to receive aid with heating costs are encouraged to contact SIEDA or visit SIEDA.org.
