SCHOOL AUCTION

■ Prescott School goes to auction Feb. 17. Nearly 8 acres of grounds and buildings, including the 102-year-old main structure, will be sold together.

An open house will be Tuesday.

P

R E S C O T T — The empty Prescott Community School property will go for auction in two weeks, bringing another chapter in the district’s consolidation with Creston Community Schools.

The sale, to be performed

by Kretzinger Auction of Corning, will take place 10:30 a.m. Feb. 17 on the school grounds at 801 1st Street in Prescott. An early viewing of the school and grounds will be Tuesday from 10 a.m. to noon and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Included in the auction will be the 102-year-old main building and nearly 8 acres of accompanying grounds and structures, which include a full indoor basketball court, bus barn, walking track, baseball diamond and a 1961 school building with a brand-new heating and air conditioning system. The entire property will be sold at once.

“It’s in remarkable shape, and in the newer building there’s a $30,000plus heating and cooling system,” said auctioneer Dan Kretzinger. “It’s quite

Prescott School Board President Randy Cooper said while he has h e a r d of some local interest, he Cooper doesn’t k n o w who the buyer may be. But Cooper said if the buyer decides to keep the building open to the community,

the playground equipment belonging to the school will stay on the grounds. Cooper said children in town still come by to play on it.

“Our dream come true would be to give it to someone who wants to make it a public use area,” he said.

“Hopefully, the building can remain in the community.”

Rubio uses momentum in New Hampshire LACONIA, N.H. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio is using every bit of momentum his campaign received from the Iowa caucuses to show New Hampshire voters that he — not his competition — is the Republican for all Americans.

Rubio describes caucus winner Ted Cruz as chronically “calculating” and points to the failure of others to pull in higher numbers as testament to their inability to lead. He calls New Jer-

sey Gov. C h r i s Christie a sore loser after Christie accused him of being the Rubio “boy in the bubble” who won’t take questions.

edged him for a second-place finish in Monday’s caucuses. Rubio has reasoned that Trump has unveiled insufficient policy, and therefore, hasn’t given him reason enough to criticize him, even though they disagree on several fundamental issues.

Instead, Rubio appears to be biding his time, quietly courting his rivals’ potential voters. By doing so, he’s pursuing a course of consolidation.

of Lenox. She was the first child and only daughter of Etta Lillian Recknor Black and Edgar Ross Black. Betty attended Grove country school south of her home through the eighth grade.

She graduated from Lenox High school with the class of 1941. After high school, she attended AIB in Des Moines and worked in a munitions factory in Ankeny after completing her studies. Even though she was the only girl, with three younger brothers, Betty enjoyed working outside with her father and doing farm work more than housework as a child. She continued to love to work on the farm and enjoyed being a farm wife. She saw many changes over 91 years of living on a farm. When Dean and she started farming 72 years ago, they farmed with horses and picked corn by hand.

She was proud that they not only were able to pick their own corn, but also the neighbor’s corn, Clyde Steand graduated from Lenox High School. As an adult, however, he liked to joke that he had actually attended a one-room country schoolhouse. He attended Iowa Western Community College in Clarinda and later, received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Iowa and his master’s degree from Mankato University. In 1991, he received his doctorate in school psychology from the University of Iowa.

Survivors include his siblings, Linda (Mike) Pershin of West Branch, Celia Curry of Johnston, Lisa (Greg) Wilkinson of Prescott and Mary Louise (Albert) Sandstrom of Dallas Center; nieces and nephews, Valerie (John) Sechser, Loren (Theresa) Sandstrom, Michelle Poulson, Pamela (Brent) Strabala, David (Janelle) Curry, Jocelyn Blazek and Robyn Blazek; and a sisterin-law, Theresa (Michael) Orecchia of Wilmington, Delaware.

phens, for hire, which gave them some much needed income to survive on during their first year of marriage.

Betty and Dean met during her senior year of high school. She was working as a waitress at Main Street Cafe in Lenox. Dean was smitten with her at first sight and thus history began.

Betty was united in marriage to William Dean Weller on April 18, 1943.

They were the first couple to be married in the present Lenox Methodist Church.

After their marriage, she moved to the Weller farm, where she and Dean resided for 72 years. Dean lost his father at age 16, and due to circumstances, was forced to take over the responsibilities of the farm. The newlywed couple moved in with Dean’s mother and siblings.

Later they purchased the farm, which is now a century farm and has been home to five generations of Wellers.

Betty was always active on the family farm both phys-

ically and as the bookkeeper. Even as her health failed and it became more and more difficult, she prided herself in her bookkeeping.

She was always good with numbers, spelling and educational pursuits having to do with learning. Due to failing health, Betty lived the last five months of her life in Clearview Nursing Home at Clearfield, but the family farm was never far from her mind or heart.

Betty always had a large, productive garden in which she took great pride. She was generous in sharing the fruits of her labors with family, friends and neighbors, especially the tomatoes. She had a green thumb when it came to growing tomatoes, there was always an abundance to be canned and shared. Along with her gardening ability, Betty was a wonderful cook. At straight up 12:00 everyday she would serve a wonderful meal, and Dean better be there at 12:00 sharp to

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, February 4, 2016

Caucusing for a better country The first and only time I’ve ever caucused was the year I turned 19, when Barack Obama was not in office yet and John McCain had Sarah Palin as a running mate.

This year, while my co-worker Ian Richardson sat among the Republicans, I waded through the crowded Creston Middle School commons area, smiling and chatting with someone I knew every few feet. By the time I managed to get any good photos, the Democratic caucusing population was sitting at lunch tables waiting for the event to begin.

I talked with some friends until the energy in the room was paramount and Union County Democratic Leader Marcia Fulton came

Girl on fire Bailey Poolman staff writer

to the stage to introduce the speakers for the Democratic candidates.

After talking with a variety of people during the caucus and after, I’ve come to a realization, which I probably should have had a long time ago: all candidates running for president this year, just like every president we’ve had since the United States became its own country, has their flaws, just like they have their moments.

1. Ted Cruz: Cruz won the Re-

publican caucus. He’s the son of a Cuban-born man, and rock on, diversity, but, more importantly, he has political experience, which beats several other Republican candidates. He’s also against net neutrality, which would put restrictions on the use of the Internet.

2. Hillary Clinton: Hillary won the Democratic caucus by the smallest percentage in Iowa history and by coin-flip luck. She’s the first woman to garner so much support for a presidential run, which is amazing since clearly men don’t own everything anymore. She’s also a huge supporter of reproductive and women’s equality rights.

3. Marco Rubio: Rubio took third in Iowa’s Republican caucus.

He’s also a first-generation Cuban American and has a decent plan in place for post-secondary education to prepare students for the massive debt after college.

4. Bernie Sanders: Sanders is the only Jewish candidate running, which shows our views on theological diversity. He was an Independent until 2015, and he is one of the only candidates who has never accepted affiliated Super PAC money. He was part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual and queer (LGBTQ) rights movement in 2000 and is in favor of the separation between church and state.

5. Donald Trump: The Donald has quite a bit of financial experience and he’s probably the only

candidate to be as candid as he can during public events. Also, he would allow states to choose their stance on LGBTQ issues, as well as elementary and secondary curriculum, which gives more power to the people within that state.

I’m sure you all know exactly what the flaws are for each candidate, so I’m not going to dwell on the negative here.

Essentially, even though I was unable to participate in this presidential election’s caucus, where Iowans made political history, it gave me insight into how passionate everyone is about whom they support, why they support them and how much we all want a better country.

Donald Trump’s star on Hollywood Boulevard was defaced by vandals HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Donald Trump’s star on Hollywood Boulevard was defaced by vandals who painted a swastika over it Sunday night. It’s an area of Hispanic workers, Asian nail salons, Muslim small business owners and Persian clothiers. Hollywood police have narrowed the list of suspects down to everybody.

Hillary Clinton was relieved to declare victory in Iowa Monday after a razor-thin victory over Bernie Sanders. The voting was so close that Hillary won six precincts by winning all six coin flips to break the tie. She was able to obtain that trick quarter from the New England Patriots just in time.

Ted Cruz edged Donald Trump and Marco Rubio in Iowa Monday while Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders. Iowa put two WASPs, two Cubans and a Jew in the top tier. You have to hand it to Iowans, whenever they observe Black History Month, they do the best they can with what they have.

Ted Cruz enjoyed the spotlight Monday after he won the Iowa Republican caucus by a narrow margin. He drew the same evangelical voters who propelled Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee to victory in the past two caucuses.

Ted Cruz is now one step closer to becoming a Fox News analyst.

Jeb Bush left Iowa for New Hampshire Monday after the final tally showed him at only three percent of the vote. He had to be seething. The toughest part about Jeb getting only three percent of the vote is that he needed at least five percent to be invited back to the Bush family holiday dinners.

Iowa evangelical Republicans turned out huge Monday to propel Ted Cruz to a narrow win in the Iowa caucuses. He followed the blueprint Republicans must follow if he wants to win the Iowa caucus.

Ted Cruz convinced them that he’s running for president of the South-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

ern Baptist Convention.

Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders was treated to lunch at the White House with President Obama to discuss the campaign.

He may be getting a little cocky.

After lunch, Bernie thanked the White House chef for the hamburger then told him he’d better start stocking up on lox and whitefish.

The People vs. O.J. Simpson premiered on FX on Tuesday to big ratings and rave reviews. The acting is superb. O.J. Simpson was overheard in prison saying that the woman who plays his wife in the mini-series is so convincing an actress that when he gets out of prison he’s going to kill her again.

The Super Bowl is played Sunday with the concussion issue gaining public concern. It looks bad. The NFL office reported that the number of player concussions was up sixty percent last year, and it doesn’t include the number of times Johnny Manziel woke up not knowing where he was.

A Utah state lawmaker introduced a bill in the legislature Monday that would classify Internet pornography as a public health crisis. His bill would provide treatment funding for Utah residents.

Apparently he feels men should only have sex the traditional way, at home with one of their five wives.

The World Health Organization declared the mosquito-borne Zika virus from the Zika Forest in Uganda a pandemic on Tuesday. First Africa gave the United States AIDS, then Africa gave us Ebola and now Africa has given us the Zika virus. For crying out loud, what did we ever do to them?

February Creston Chamber of Commerce happenings RAGBRAI coming to Creston As many of you may know by now, RAGBRAI has selected Creston as one of the overnight towns for the 2016 ride. They will be visiting us in Creston on July 25. This is a great opportunity to showcase Creston, Union County and southwest Iowa to thousands.

As you can imagine, this will be a huge community undertaking and cannot be done by just a few individuals. We are starting to develop a list of volunteers to work either on the 25th or before the event or both. Even if it is only for a few hours, we need “all hands on deck.” If you can help, please call the Chamber at 641-782-7021 so that we may add your name to our volunteer list.

As you can tell by the above paragraph, Creston Chamber of Commerce wears many different hats. I know people view the Chamber as an organization working primarily for promoting and growing our businesses and industries and that is one of our primary objectives, but we are also viewed as a source of information for people and businesses outside of Creston who desire to know more about our community. We are also a place where Creston residents can turn for answers. I hope all of you visit the Chamber’s website at www.crestoniowachamber.com regularly. It is a great source of information about our community and the calendar of events found on our home page is updated regularly and includes information on a wide variety of activities taking place.

The Chamber also works very hard to promote and showcase Creston, as well as being a leadership organization, which works to unify and map a course for Creston’s future development. With this in mind, I would like to detail some of the various committees and groups within the Creston Chamber of Commerce or that we will partner with over the next few months.

Creston Chamber Ellen Gerharz Executive Director

The Chamber takes the lead in the promotion of tourism for our area. Creston/Union County tourism continues to increase the visibility of our area, our various tourism attractions and events.

Highlighting a few of the things that we are doing include our ad in the 2016 Iowa Travel Guide and information and ads in various other publications both printed and on the Internet.

In addition to these efforts, the Chamber office sends out information and brochures to Iowa Welcome Centers and attractions across the state and to other states and other media outlets in a continuing effort to make people aware of our great area and what we have to offer.

Another method used to reach individuals who might want to visit our area is through the Internet. In the past few years, more and more people are using the Internet to gather information and we have continued to grow our presence there. Besides the Chamber website there is the tourism website.

This web address is www.unioncountyiowatourism.com. It is an excellent source of information about Creston and Union County. In addition to the two websites, we can also be found on Facebook and Twitter, all of these providing a digital front door to the community which sees tens of thousands of visits per year.

I would also like to pass along that the 2016 edition of Southern Iowa Tourism tabloid is now available at the Chamber office and various other locations in our area.

If you are looking for things to do in our corner of the world, this is a great place to get ideas. The tabloid includes information not only on Creston and Union County, but

also Adair, Decatur, Lucas, Ringgold, Taylor and Wayne counties.

Creston’s Winter Crazy Days to take place February 4, 5 and 6: Creston’s Winter Crazy Days will take place Feb. 4, 5 and 6 during regular business hours. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of some terrific bargains around town while supporting our local merchants.

Upcoming Legislative coffees: The second Legislative coffee of this session will be held on Feb. 20 with the final coffee held on March 19. All are held at the mealsite in the restored depot in uptown Creston beginning at 8 a.m. and lasting for an hour. Currently Rep. Tom Moore and Sen. Tom Shipley are planning to attend. Information has been sent to Congressman David Young. There is no charge to come and listen and/or ask questions. The coffees are free and the public is invited to attend.

Hi-Five Honorees: The following individuals were honored with the Hi-Five Honor in February: Nichole Bierle, Ben Adamson from State Farm Insurance and Dee Jenkins from Greater Regional Medical Center. Congratulations.

The Hi-Five for service allows us to recognize those who make shopping and doing business in Creston a rewarding and positive experience. Please call the Chamber with your honoree.

Gold Star Business honored: The Chamber honored Java J’s at Creston True Value this month as the February Gold Star Business in Creston. They were nominated by their fellow Crestonians because of the appearance both inside and out of their building and property. Congratulations.

Please call the Chamber if you would like to acknowledge a business property.

Have a great month and remember, “Creston – A great place to visit, work and call home.”

Are these shower shoes a flop?

Dear Readers: Well, it seems some of you don’t flipflop on wearing FLIP-FLOPS in the shower while at home.

Some had safety concerns from their own experiences. Good point, if you have a medical condition that makes you unstable and might cause dizziness.

In general, these types of flip-flops are used by a lot of people at gyms, spas and athletic venues to prevent picking up a nasty foot problem. You don’t want to catch athlete’s foot from a public shower!

Read on: “Greetings, Heloise: I had to chuckle after reading the letter from Peggy M. in Woodway, Texas, about using rubber flip-flops in the shower. As an ex-GI, serving in the Air Force from 1953-1957, all GIs wore those while showering, but we called them ‘shower clogs’! Who knew they would become fashionable?

Thanks, Heloise. Just thought you’d like to know.” — Hans G., Lebanon, Pa. “Dear Heloise: Your safety hint (a reader’s hint — Heloise) of flip-flops for oldsters made me giggle. When I was teaching, we knew spring had sprung when the girls started wearing flip-flops. One

Hints from Heloise principal said they should be banned. (They are, in some schools. — Heloise) “If you have never seen girls fall up steps, go to a high school on a spring day when flip-flops are in bloom. The girls would try to step up the steps and get the toe of the flip-flop caught on the step edge and go facedown up the stairs. Lots of skinned knees and spilled books.” — Roberta H., via email “Dear Heloise: Flip-flops in the shower are a bad idea, in my opinion. They provide no support to the heel or ankle.

Someone could slip on the soapy, wet surface of the flipflop. I use a rubber shower mat and grab bars in the shower for support.” — Valerie A. in San Antonio Readers, each to his or her own. What works for one may not be good for another. And why are they called flip-flops?

bus to and from work. It has saved me so many times. My neighbor Jan suggested this when we had really bad rain and I did not want to drive to work. I checked the schedule and printed it out for the next time.

My husband drove me to the stop, only a few blocks away. I settled in with the newspaper and my coffee.

Thirty minutes later, I got off, walked a block and was at work. The ride home was not bad, either. Saved gas and my nerves. — C.P., via text THE EYEBROWS HAVE IT Dear Heloise: The plastic knife from a fast-food restaurant can find new life as an eyebrow comb.

National Digest

Terps survive LINCOLN, Neb. — Maryland found itself in yet another close game, and once again the Terrapins hung on to win.

Freshman Diamond Stone had 16 points, 10 rebounds and a season-high eight blocks in the fourthranked Terrapins’ 70-65 victory over Nebraska on Wednesday night.

Melo Trimble had 14 of his 20 points in the second half as the Terps overcame a slew of turnovers to improve to a national-best 19-2 in games decided by six points or less over the past two seasons.

The win allowed the Terps (20-3, 9-2 Big Ten) to remain a half-game behind conference co-leaders Indiana and Iowa.

Spartans compete at Kansas, Central

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

A handful of Southwestern Community College track and field athletes traveled to Lawrence, Kansas on Friday to compete in the Jayhawk Classic, while the whole team traveled to Central College on Saturday.

Anthony Simmons finished sixth in the men’s 400 meter dash at Kansas, running a personal best for indoors in 49.99 seconds.

Sophomore Seth S t a r k s Starks took fifth in the high jump with his clearance of 6-6.

“As a program, we are making it a priority to provide our students with opportunities to compete against top-tier Division I talent in order to prepare ourselves for our national championships,” head coach

Nick Ekel said. “I was very proud to see Anthony and Seth mix it up with some of the best student-athletes in the country.”

Both the men’s and women’s teams finished ninth in the team scoring at Saturday’s Dutch Classic.

Freshman Sisilia Seavula of Fiji finished first in the women’s 200 meter dash with her time of 27.19.

Central College sophomore Kate Patton of Murray finished sixth in the 60 meter dash with her time of 8.19 seconds, sixth in the long jump with her leap of 15-6 and ran on Central’s winning 4x400 relay team, which clocked a time of 4:00.31.

On the men’s side, Simmons and freshman Tyrell Paul of A j a x , Ontario, Canada finished s e c o n d Simmons and fourth, respec-

tively, in the men’s 600 meters. Simmons ran 1:25.73 and Paul ran 1:25.91.

Sophomore Mustapha Moore finished sixth in the men’s triple jump with his mark of 38-5.50.

“Our team competed to the best of their ability today,” Ekel said. “Right now, it’s about gaining confidence and trying tactics to place ourselves in a position to be at our best at the regional championships. I am excited to see what the next three weeks hold for our students.”

The Spartans will send select athletes to the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational this weekend in Lincoln, Neb., while other athletes will travel to the Grinnell Indoor Invitational on Saturday.

Super Bowl 50 predictions

KU wins LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas coach Bill Self was only slightly happier Wednesday night than Kansas State counterpart Bruce Weber, and the only reason for that was his seventh-ranked Jayhawks had won.

Perry Ellis scored 19 points, and Svi Mykhailiuk and Devonte Graham added 10 points apiece, to bail out the Jayhawks (184, 6-3 Big 12) on a night they were dominated on the glass.

Kansas managed two offensive rebounds while getting outrebounded 3621 by an undersized opponent.

Stephen Hurt had 14 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Wildcats, who have not won at Kansas since 2006 — three coaches ago. Wesley Iwundu added 15 points but also had six turnovers.

Shockers roll WICHITA, Kan. — There were many reasons Southern Illinois coach Barry Hinson could point to in trying to explain how his team, tied for second in the Missouri Valley Conference, has lost to Wichita State twice this season, each time by more than 20 points.

One stood out Wednesday night after No. 21 Wichita State’s 76-55 victory over the Salukis.

“It’s their length,” Hinson said. “We just don’t run up against anybody else in our league that has that kind of length.”

Fred VanVleet had 12 points and 11 assists to lead the Shockers (17-5, 11-0 Missouri Valley) to their 12th straight victory. Shaquille Morris had a season-high 13 points and fellow center Anton Grady added 10 points for Wichita State

Curry nets 51 WASHINGTON — Following one of his worst offensive games this season, reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry stopped thinking about basketball and recalibrated his mind. It worked out just fine.

Curry was all systems go Wednesday night, making 11 3-pointers and scoring 51 points to lead the Golden State Warriors past the Washington Wizards 134-121 for their eighth straight victory, which came in spite of a monster performance from John Wall.

Wall scored a season-best 41 points in the shadows but was overshadowed by Curry, who shot 13-of-14 for 36 points in the best first half of his career.

ATLANTIC — Atlantic eighth-grade boys defeated Creston Monday, 47-23.

Atlantic went on a 9-0 run in the second quarter to take a 25-18 halftime lead.

“We came out well in the first quarter before they went on their run, and then in the second half we couldn’t find a rhythm to our offense and we were only able to score five points in the entire half,” said Creston coach Scott Wagner.

“Our defense wasn’t gad, but they would take our missed shots and really get down the floor.”

Eli Loudon scored 13 points for Creston.

Atlantic also won the B game, 27-12.

“Our first half went well.

We were executing our offense and we pressed a little that got us some easy points,” Wagner said. “Then in the second half we went cold and only scored two points. I have seen a lot of growth out of many of these kids. They got better each and every game we played and really gained an understanding of the game of basketball.”

That proved the to be the season finale with Tuesday’s games cancelled by inclement weather.

“It was a good season for the athletes,” Wagner said.

“They put in a lot of effort and time and I’m proud of the hard work they put in.

I think they will represent Creston well in their high school careers.”

Uthoff leads No. 5 Iowa over Penn State 73-49

By JASON BRUMMOND Associated Press

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa’s scorers often get the attention, but it’s the fifthranked Hawkeyes’ aggressive and trapping defense that is making the difference this season.

And Iowa is converting turnovers and missed shots — and sometimes even made baskets — into quick and easy points on the other end.

Jarrod Uthoff scored 14 points and Adam Woodbury had a career-high 15 rebounds to help Iowa roll past Penn State 73-49 on Wednesday night.

The Hawkeyes forced only 10 turnovers, but held Penn State to 30 percent shooting. The 49 points are a season-low for an Iowa opponent this season.

“Right from the outset, our defense set the tone,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.

“We got stops, we got runouts. . I thought we really were locked into throwing it ahead and attacking in transition.”

Peter Jok scored 12 points and Anthony Clemmons had 12 points, six rebounds and four assists for the Hawkeyes (18-4, 9-1 Big Ten), who won their 15th straight home game.

Brandon Taylor had 15 points and 11 rebounds for Penn State (11-12, 2-8). Taylor shot 6 of 18 from the field.

The Nittany Lions never settled down in their first visit to Iowa City in three years.

Penn State opened the game shooting 3 of 16 from the field. The Nittany Lions — one of the worst 3-point shooting teams in the Big Ten — made only one 3 in 20 attempts.

“We got into their space and made everything difficult for them,” said Uthoff, who blocked four shots.

Iowa won to stay even with Indiana on top of the Big Ten standings. The Hawkeyes and Hoosiers will meet twice in the last four weeks of the season, starting Feb. 11 in Bloomington.

Iowa has won by double

figures in eight of their nine conference wins.

The Hawkeyes opened the game on a 14-4 run. Later, Uthoff hit a 3-pointer with 5½ minutes left in the first half to put Iowa up by 12 points. Penn State didn’t get any closer.

Dom Uhl finished the first half with a two-handed putback dunk off his own missed floater to give the Hawkeyes a 45-26 lead.

Iowa built a 20-point lead early in the second half and never gave it up.

The Hawkeyes had 13 fastbreak points and didn’t allow any. Iowa’s bench outscored Penn State’s 28-14.

Penn State has lost four straight and six of seven.

Shep Garner and Julian Moore scored eight points each for the Nittany Lions.

COURTSIDE The Hawkeye football team was recognized at halftime to celebrate the program’s undefeated regular season and first Rose Bowl appearance in 25 years. They received a loud standing ovation.

About 40 members of the Big Ten West championship team — including quarterback C.J. Beathard and cornerback Desmond King — came out to midcourt with Iowa’s rivalry trophies. A dozen stayed after the presentation for a performance with the Iowa dance team.

King, the Jim Thorpe Award winner who announced last month he will return for his senior season, stood out from the group with white cowboy boots and a dark cowboy hat.

TIP-INS Penn State: Two of the Nittany Lions’ next three games are against ranked opponents — including another game vs.

Iowa in two weeks. ... Penn State’s Payton Banks (plus9.0) and Iowa’s Jok (plus8.3) rank atop the Big Ten in points per game improvement from last season.

Iowa: Woodbury’s 13 defensive rebounds were the most by a Hawkeye since 2006. ... McCaffery coached his 100th Big Ten regular season game Wednesday.

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, February 4, 2016

Today is Feb. 4, the 35th day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 331 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (Feb. 1-7) in history:

10 years ago Head football coach Dick Bergstrom and parents Phil and Anita Wardenburg watched as Creston High School’s Dane Wardenburg signed a letter of intent to play football at Northwest Missouri State University.

The Creston senior was to play offensive tackle for the two-time national champions. Northwest had played in the NCAA Division II national championship game in December 2005. “I could not have found a better situation,” Wardenburg said.

“Their goal is to contend for a national championship every year. When recruiting, they tell you if you play for them, you’ll have the chance to pay for at least one or two titles – you can’t argue with that.”

Lottery news in Union County listed three big winners. Leon Klug of Creston had won $100,000 in the Powerball game. Kenneth Burgess of Diagonal won $8,888 in the Crazy 8s Bingo scratch-off game, and Ryan Dukleth of Creston won $3,750 in a TouchPlay game.

Casey’s No. 3 was listed as the hottest retailer, selling the $100,000 ticket to Klug.

Bluegrass Credit Union had a new name, a new look and a new face. It merged

with Nishna Valley Credit Union and remodeled its office at 604 W. Adams St. Its new manager was Wesley Anstey. Longtime employees – Meg Crawford, 23 years, and Lori Tull, 11 years – said customers appreciated the new hours and services and thought the changes were very positive.

20 years ago Greenfield voted to accept a $460,000 bond to renovate the former Place’s store on First Street into a new library and city hall complex. Co-librarian Lorraine Schneider called the bond the “perfect solution to problems plaguing the old library, built in 1916.”

The roof leaked, there was no space to expand for modern technology and the cost to make the old library handicap accessible would be $156,000. The city hall was constructed in the 1930s, said city clerk Norma Lane, and because it was so small, it was congested with just three employees and too small for city council meetings. The council had to gather in the light plant building to the north. Another factor was a gift from the Maston estate for the library, which could be used to lower the bond $130,000 instead of making repairs on the old library.

50 years ago Gambles ad: “Coronado Waldera – 6-speaker stereo phono with AM-FM radio. The price has been reduced $50 to make this

Seven seniors and one transfer junior were members of the National Honor

Society. They were chosen

by Creston High School faculty for the four qualities necessary for membership, which are scholarship, leadership, character and service. The eight National Honor students were to initiate new members Feb. 22 and were Steve Wallace, treasurer; Susan Evans, vice-president; Vicki Stream; Andrea Fisher; Jan Posten, president; Betty Faber, transfer from Bridgewater-Fontanelle High School; Brad Gater; and Mary Ann Baker, secretary.

Students in kindergarten through eighth grade made valentines for either someone in a nursing home or someone in the military as part of Catholic Schools Week, a time to think about others. Also pictured is Cecilia Zachary, a fourth-grader, who made a card for someone in the military.
