EU graduate turns found Study: As photos into IPTV documentary winter wears on, bodies adjust to extreme cold

By SARAH BROWN

CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD — One hundred and twenty five years after E.J. Sidey first started what is now the Adair County Free Press, Iowa Public Television (IPTV) will air “Sidey Report: Life and Times of an Iowa Icon” 8:30 p.m. March 5.

IPTV describes “The Sidey Report” as the story of one family and a journalistic legacy that spans four generations with a glimpse of rural Midwestern living through the eyes of a small town newspaper.

Laurel Burgmaier, producer and director at Iowa Public Television, said Burgmaier this documentary was created to show the impact a small town newspaper has on the community.

“We can get our national news anywhere,” said Burgmaier. “Local news lets people know what is going on with their neighbors and friends. Local news keeps this tie in the community and people thinking about one another.”

Burgmaier said “The Sidey Report” is about the history of the Adair County Free Press, but will focus on

the story of two brothers, Ed and Hugh Sidey, who were fourth-generation journalists.

A premiere of “The Sidey Report” is scheduled 3:30 p.m. Feb. 22 at the Grand Theatre, 238 Public Square, in Greenfield. For more information about this event, see sidebar on page 2A. Meet the Sideys E.J., born in Canada in 1862, moved to the United States in 1876, where he worked in the printing business in Chicago, Boston and San Francisco before moving to Creston, where he

became editor and publisher of the weekly newspaper Creston Commonwealth, which is the present day Creston News Advertiser.

After E.J. moved to Greenfield, he started Adair County Democrat with his father John S. Sidey in 1889, changing the name to Adair County Free Press in 1907.

E.J.’s children, Kenneth (K.H.) and John Sidey, who grew up in the print shop of the family’s paper, followed in their father’s footsteps. John became expert printer and K.H. specialized in news and advertising.

K.H. served in WWI and studied journalism at University of Missouri at Columbia, where he learned writing and page layout. After his father’s death in 1938, K.H. took over as publisher and editor of the newspaper and was later recognized by the Iowa Newspaper Association as master publisher-editor.

In the late 1930s, K.H. took up photography, which replaced sketches previously used in the newspaper. He believed photographs were essential to the newspaper and built the Free Press engraving plant and darkroom in the family’s basement.

CHICAGO (MCT) — Though 30 below zero could never be described as warm, Peter Doran said a few weeks in Antarctica can make even the most frigid temperatures start to feel normal.

“I think you do get used to it when it’s perpetually low,” said the University of Illinois at Chicago professor, who specializes in climate and environmental issues and works frequently in the Arctic and Antarctic. “You’re feeling it here now. People seem better attuned” to the cold than earlier in the winter.

There’s a scientific basis for that. As winter wears on, our bodies are able to offset some of the chill.

That’s why a 30-degree day in early November can seem downright cruel but, after the 22 days and counting of temperatures at or below zero in Chicago this season, that same reading in February might feel like a balmy reprieve.

“There are certain physiological responses to combat cold, and those responses become perfected and we call that cold weather acclimatization,” said G. Edgar Folk Jr., a professor emeritus of physiology at the University of Iowa.

“You train the skin. There are blood vessels there that keep the heat in.”

But even for the hardiest Chicagoans, this winter has been a challenge. With nearly 60 inches of snow — the most in more than 30 years, according to WGN meteorologist Tom Skilling — and temperatures that had hovered below freezing for 182 straight hours, more than a week, as of midday Friday, many residents said they’d had enough.

“This Chicago weather can get to the bones and it hurts if you let it,” said Tyrell Porter, 30, who had bundled up with two layers of clothes under his coat as he headed off from the South Loop to a job interview Friday. “I’ve been here all my life. But as used to it as I am, it’s still hard to deal with.”

Science suggests that some people have an innate

Deaths Janice Peterson Afton

Janice Peterson, 79, of A f t o n died Feb. 9, 2014, at Afton Care Center.

Funeral services will be Peterson 10:30 a.m.

Wednesday, Feb. 12, at Salem Lutheran Church in Creston. The Rev. Ben McIntire will officiate. Burial will be in Greenlawn Cemetery near Afton. Open visitation will be 2 to 8 p.m. Tuesday with family present 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Powers Funeral Home, 612 N. Dodge St., Afton. Memorials may be given to Salem Lutheran Church. Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh. com.

Janice Warrior Peterson, daughter of Clarice Vera (Cowles) and Fred Henry Warrior, was born May 24, 1934, in Afton.

Janice graduated from Afton High School in 1952.

On Nov. 23, 1952, Janice married Roland “Top” Peterson at the Afton Methodist Church. They settled briefly in Afton and moved to Wich-

ita Falls, Texas, in 1953.

While Top served in the Air Force, Janice lived in Wichita Falls, Texas, before they moved to Columbus, Ind. She worked at the Cummins Diesel Production plant for the next three years while living in Columbus.

In 1957, they returned to a farm north of Afton, where Janice was an active farm wife.

In 1973, she began to work as the secretary to the principal until her retirement in May of 1996 after 23 years of service to the East Union School District.

Janice has been a member of Salem Lutheran Church in Creston since 1963 and a former member of Afton Methodist Church and Sunshine Society.

Janice is survived by her husband Roland “Top” Peterson of Afton, son Ron (wife Jean) Peterson of Des Moines, brother Ken (wife Mary Jane) Warrior of Aurora, Colo.; sisters, Marilyn (husband Bill) Kelly of Boise, Idaho, and Carol Smith of Saint Joseph, Mo.; grandchildren, Mallory and Zachary Peterson, Jenny (husband Nick) Bass and Jason Holland; and great-granddaughter Emma Bass.

Janice was preceded in death by her parents.

advantage in keeping warm. Bill Leonard, chairman of the anthropology department at Northwestern University, is part of a team that has spent more than 20 years studying indigenous groups in rural Russia.

Native Siberians expend on average 15 to 20 percent more calories while at rest than people from warmer climes, Leonard said, which means that they produce more heat. In a region where winter temperatures can hit 50 below zero, that’s a vital layer of protection.

Leonard said it appears the reason for that difference is both genetic and a result of exposure to brutal cold over a person’s lifetime. Non-natives who move to Siberia see some uptick in their metabolism, Leonard said, but that rate on average remains lower than those whose ancestors inhabited the region.

That could mean there’s hope for Chicagoans suffering through this extremely cold and snowy winter. It also means that longtime residents of the city might fare better than people like Courtney Hutchins, 25, who moved to Chicago four months ago from sunny Las Vegas.

“Because you were not exposed to cold, you have to start from scratch,” Folk said. “If you live in a northern climate, you’ve been getting a little bit of cold acclimatization every year.”

Hutchins said she has to coach herself so that she doesn’t get angry about the brutal temperatures.

“Avoidance is how I’m coping,” the South Loop resident said. “It just sucks.

It definitely sucks. I can’t believe people deal with this on a normal, year-toyear basis.”

Dr. Lawrence Zachary leads the Cold Hand Clinic at University of Chicago Medicine and treats patients with medical conditions that make them especially susceptible to suffering in the chill. He said people tend to dress for the elements after a consistent cold spell, as opposed to how they may go about earlier in the season.

“The change in temperatures from fall to winter and winter to spring (are) a tough time for people,” Zachary said. “People take better precautions when it’s cold all the time than when it goes from one temperature to another.”

SIDEY REPORT: Continued from Page 1

of “The Sidey Report,” said K.H.’s sons, Ed and Hugh Sidey, are one focus of the documentary she has worked on since 2010.

Ed and Hugh grew up observing their father’s work and worked at the family’s paper after school, on weekends and during summer breaks.

Both Ed and Hugh joined the service after graduating from high school in Greenfield. Upon returning home after WWII, the brothers studied journalism at Iowa State University, where they worked at Iowa State Daily.

After college, the brothers went to work for Omaha World-Herald. While in Omaha, Hugh was a freelance photographer for Life magazine.

Ed Sidey In 1955, Ed returned to Greenfield and became editor and publisher of the Free Press after his father’s death in 1976.

At home in Greenfield, Ed was active on the school board for approximately 20 years, chamber of commerce and development corporation, with whom he was instrumental in bringing Seed Work Inc. and Cardinal Glass businesses to town.

His wife Linda Sidey remembers him as a creative person who wanted to bring the community together.

“Ed wasn’t into tabloid reporting,” said Linda. “He wasn’t into reporting anyone if they made a mistake.

He was always on the positive side.”

Linda said her husband didn’t just cover Greenfield, but the entire county of Adair.

“He didn’t feel comfortable covering agriculture because he didn’t understand all of it,” said Linda.

“But, it didn’t stop him from starting an ag page.”

Ed has also served as president of the Iowa News Association and past president of the Iowa News Foundation.

Hugh Sidey Hugh, who wrote about the American presidency for more than 30 years, began covering Dwight Eisenhower for Life magazine in 1957. He later became a political and White House correspondent for TIME Magazine and the writer of a column titled “The Presidency” for TIME Magazine, which he started in Life magazine in 1966.

During his tenure with TIME, Hugh interviewed the presidents from Dwight A Fantastic shopping event.

Events during the afternoon include: • A display of Hugh Sidey’s work and talk with Gary Porter about his memories of growing up in Adair County at the Greenfield Public Library, 202 S. First St., in Greenfield.

• Display of photographs from The Sidey Collection and Adair County

It has been reported Hugh was the only reporter Bush allowed on his plane when he left Washington in 1993. Hugh was also was traveling with Kennedy when he was assassinated in Dallas, was on board a jet with Richard Nixon to China in 1972 and reported on Nixon’s resignation two years later. Hugh, who grew up listening to Big Ten football game broadcasts by WHO Radio’s sportscaster “Dutch” Reagan, was also considered a close confidant of Ronald Reagan during his eight years as president.

According to Burgmaier, while Hugh interacted with some of the most powerful people in the country, he never forgot about his home in Iowa and often visited home and wrote about Adair County in his publications.

The Sidey Project Linda Sidey, who became publisher and editor of Adair County Free Press after her husband Ed Sidey’s death in 2008, said she was in the process of moving the business from Iowa Street in Greenfield to its current location on Public Square when she found boxes of old photographs — many of which were taken by K.H. Sidey prior to 1950.

With the photographs, Linda compiled them into what is now known into The Sidey Collection LLC and published a calendar.

In 2010, Burgmaier was shopping for Christmas gifts at Country Hearts in Creston when she stumbled upon the calendar.

“The Sidey family were really good at taking photographs,” said Burgmaier. “They were not only artistic, but represented small town America. I just knew they had to be in a

Shortly after her find, Burgmaier walked into Adair County Free Press and talked to Linda about a project.

“At first they approached me about a book,” said Linda.

The book, titled, “The Sidey Project,” written by June Bower, designed by Kiki Scarberry and edited by Sarah Bingaman Schwartz was published this year.

Busy with the newspaper, Linda said she gave Bower, Scarberry and Schwartz quite a bit of freedom.

This is a poor day to go up against authority figures. Wait for another day.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Difficulties with bosses, supervisors, partners and close friends might stymie you today. Is there no relief?

Actually, there is. You have to run away to live and fight another day.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is not a good day to challenge the political and religious ideas of others. If you try, the response will be, “Talk to the hand.”

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It won’t be easy to get your way dealing with shared property, inheritances and anything you own jointly. Knowing this, don’t try to tackle these questions today. Bide your time.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) No matter what you suggest to partners and close friends today, they will not go along with your ideas. Just accept that this is how it is. Don’t make a fuss.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You feel world-weary today.

Not only does work seem hard, but your health seems to be at a low ebb today as well. Don’t worry; this is a temporary challenge. Get your rest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) We all feel the money crunch. Today especially, you might feel broke or discouraged about your finances.

Things will look better within the year.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It’s easy to feel cut off

and lonely today, as if you cannot connect with others. Naturally this will bother you, because you love to

network.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today you feel held back by some kind of barrier, either directly connected to someone else or just yourself. It’s as if you are required to be somebody you don’t want to be.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re an independent thinker and a

bit of a maverick. You have an inventive mind; you love to explore new ideas. Because you want to make the world a better place, you will lend your efforts to meaningful causes whether you lead the charge or support others. This year you will focus on relationships and close friendships.

National Digest

Sam comes out COLUMBIA, Mo. — Michael Sam, an AllAmerican defensive lineman from Missouri and the Associated Press’ SEC Defensive Player of the Year, said that he is gay in an interview with ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” on Sunday.

Sam stated publicly what his teammates and coaches at Mizzou have known since August: “I am an openly, proud gay man.”

Sam is eligible for the NFL draft in May. Assuming that he is drafted, Sam could become the first openly gay player in the history of the NFL. “I understand how big this is,” he said. “It’s a big deal. No one has done this before. And it’s kind of a nervous process, but I know what I want to be ... I want to be a football player in the NFL.” Sam’s decision to speak out now — in interviews with ESPN and the New York Times — comes after his experience two weeks ago at the Senior Bowl, where, he said, many already seemed aware of his sexual orientation.

“I didn’t realize how many people actually knew, and I was afraid that someone would tell or leak something out about me,” he said. “I want to own my truth. ...

No one else should tell my story but me.”

Creston/O-M dominates Shenandoah sectional

By LARRY PETERSON

Tiebreaker criteria sends Atlantic to regional with Panthers

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

SHENANDOAH — Creston/O-M removed itself from the drama and intrigue of the battle for second place, with a dominating performance at the Class 2A sectional wrestling tournament here Saturday.

The Panthers advanced 12 of 14 wrestlers to district competition Saturday at Atlantic, including eight champions.

The two wrestlers not advancing each finished third as the Panthers amassed 283 points.

Clarinda and Atlantic tied for second with 214 points each, with Clarinda advancing eight wrestlers and Atlantic six. Red Oak advanced the other two wrestlers.

The top two teams advance to Tuesday’s dual regional meets in a quest for qualifying for the dual state tournament Feb. 19. Atlantic was awarded the second spot in a criteria tiebreaker.

Tiebreaker Since there were no athlete or coach misconduct penalties against either team Saturday, it came down to most matches won.

“We had 11 first-round byes, and you don’t get a match victory for those, so that hurt us,” Clarinda coach Josh Porter said.

The Trojans finished the day with 20 total contested

Fargo at 126, Tayler Pettit at 160 and Kadon Hulett at 220.

Frain and Fargo won wrestleback matches for true second after losing in the finals, without a previous match against consolation winners Nate Hoyt of Shenandoah and Nick Rounds of Missouri Valley, respectively.

Frain dominated his wrestleback match, winning by fall in 3:11 after building a 7-0 lead.

“He was a two seed, but both the three and four seeds had him on his back during the year, so you never know in those situations,” coach Frain said.

Sudden turnaround CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON

Gavin Leith of Creston/O-M turns Thomas Peasley of Missouri Valley for nearfall points before earning the pin in 1:23 of their semifinal match at 152 pounds Saturday at the Shenandoah Class 2A sectional. Leith went on to beat Luke Strong of Clarinda, 4-3, for the sectional title.

match wins compared to Clarinda’s 16.

All of the rated wrestlers in the Shenandoah sectional advanced as champions, except at 120 pounds, where two were pitted in the finals. And, because of that competition, it’s a weight where a returning state qualifier, Panther sophomore Wyatt Thompson, did not advance.

Fifth-rated Blake Luna of Clarinda beat No. 4 Dillion Cox of Atlantic 3-1 for the sectional title. Cox then beat Thompson 7-1 in the

wrestleback for true second after Thompson won by fall in the consolation round. Luna pinned Thompson in 1:17 in the semifinals.

“We knew we’d need a major upset,” Creston/OM coach Darrell Frain said.

“We thought maybe how the wrestlebacks were going that we might have a chance. That (Cox) is the kid who beat him at state. Him and Luna will be high placewinners at state.”

The other state-rated wrestlers emerging as champions Saturday were No. 3 Dar-

rian Schwenke of Atlantic at 126, No. 6 Chase Shiltz of Creston/O-M at 145, No. 2 Trevor Frain of Creston/OM at 170, No. 7 Seth Maitlen of Creston/O-M at 195, No. 9 Tyler Christensen of Atlantic at 220 and No. 10 Dakota Calfee of Clarinda at 285.

Other Panther champions were Kruz Adamson at 113, Spencer Wray at 132, Joey Huntington at 138, Gavin Leith at 152 and Adam Baker at 182.

Advancing in second place were Brody Frain at 106, Alex

Fargo had coach Frain leaping high in celebration, as well as his teammates, with a sudden change in momentum in his wrestleback match.

Roberts had secured his second takedown for a 4-0 lead on Fargo, who seized an opening to reverse into a pinning hold in the second period for a fall in 3:01. He said he thought of former teammate Dalton Hribal, who was killed in an auto accident last season.

“I heard everyone screaming, ‘how bad do you want it?’

I thought about my buddy, who passed away last year,” Fargo said. “I hit my fireman’s move, put him on his Please see WRESTLING, page 7A

Panthers, Bedford/Lenox advance to dual regionals At Saturday’s sectional wrestling tournaments, teams placing first and second in the Class 1A and 2A competitions qualified for Tuesday’s regional dual meets.

No. 6 ranked Creston/O-M, champion of the Shenandoah sectional, will host Winterset while Atlantic duals Saydel in the other half of that Class 2A regional. Action begins at 6 p.m.

Both Creston/O-M and Winterset were sec-

tional champs, while Saydel and Atlantic were second at their sites, which is a different dual regional format than in the past. This year, pairings were determined by dual team ratings. Votes for Saydel apparently exceeded Winterset’s.

In addition, Kuemper Catholic, which finished two points ahead of Harlan at the Perry sectional for second place, travels to meet No. 13 Sergeant Bluff-Luton and Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley takes

on MOC-Floyd Valley.

Bedford/Lenox will travel to Liberty Center for their regional dual and will take on No. 2 Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont. No. 11 Southeast Warren will meet Sigourney-Keota in the other dual.

Winners of the first-round duals then meet to decide that regional’s representative at the state duals team tournament on Wednesday, Feb. 19.

Smart suspended STILLWATER, Okla. — Oklahoma State star Marcus Smart has been suspended for three games for shoving a Texas Tech fan in the final seconds of Saturday’s game, Cowboys coach Travis Ford announced Sunday.

Smart tried to block Jaye Crockett’s dunk attempt from behind with 6.2 seconds to go but stumbled out of bounds behind the basket.

As he was being helped up, he exchanged words with a fan in the front row before lunging for the fan and pushing him with two hands. The fan, wearing a black Texas Tech shirt, stumbled backward but did not fall.

Smart then walked away, pointing back in the fan’s direction. Officials assessed a technical foul but did not eject him, and he remained on the bench until the final buzzer.

Oklahoma State travels to play Texas on Tuesday, then faces Oklahoma at home on Saturday before a road game at Baylor on Feb. 17. Following Smart’s suspension, the Cowboys’ next game is at home against Texas Tech.

After serious Tiger injury, Red Oak foils Creston’s upset bid Panthers lose 6-point lead in overtime Panthers roll, 63-29

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

A few minutes after a heartwarming tribute to the cause of the night, raising more than $4,000 for a blanket warmer at Greater Regional Medical Cancer Center by two student groups, a hush came over the Creston High School gym Friday night.

Red Oak senior center Evan Mellott failed to get up from a fall under the Creston basket after a rebound scrum.

Soon, it became apparent why.

Mellott’s right foot was angled to the right, the gruesome sight of a compound ankle

fracture that drew gasps from the crowd.

Fortunately, trainer Chris Leonard and orthopedic surgeon Dr. William Ralston of Greater Regional Medical Center were quickly on the scene. Mellott’s ankle was placed in a splint as he was carried — hopping on one leg by his choice — to an awaiting ambulance for surgery that night at GRMC. After a standing ovation for Mellott as he left the gym, the teams regrouped and the Panthers methodically pulled away to a 63-29 victory. Fourteen total players scored for Please see BOYS, page 7A

No medal KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Lowering his head, then crouching in a corner, Bode Miller lingered in the finish area after his slowerthan-expected Olympic downhill run, contemplating where things might have gone wrong.

Most everyone, Miller included, thought he was the man to beat entering Sunday’s race.

Didn’t even come close.

Failing to produce the sort of near-perfect performance he came up with in practice, Miller finished eighth in the downhill.

Brandon Phipps comes down with a rebound against Red Oak freshman Weston Rolenec during the Panthers’ 63-29 victory here Friday. Phipps finished with seven points and two rebounds.

A Red Oak team that had been rated earlier in the season was on the verge of defeat against the Creston girls here Friday night.

It was all shaping up to be a terrific start to a special evening in the Creston High School gym, as the EAST and SADD student groups combined efforts to raise more than $4,000 for a blanket warmer at

Greater Regional Medical Center Cancer Center in the school’s “Wrap Up Cancer” event.

Creston players were wearing pink uniforms for the cancer support cause, and the commons area was buzzing with fundraising activities.

A good crowd was on hand to see the Panthers stage an upset bid, leading Red Oak by six points in overtime after Jenna Taylor’s 3-pointer on a sideline out-of-bounds play tied it near the end of regulation,

57-57.

Red Oak was sitting tied for third in the Hawkeye 10 at 6-3, and 12-6 overall.

The Panthers were 2-7 and 7-11, but hopeful based on a competitive 41-35 loss earlier at Red Oak. And, the Tigers were missing Bailey Hankins from illness in the varsity lineup, after injuries had already felled two players earlier, including starters Blake Bergren and Sabrina Please see GIRLS, page 8A

MOUNT AYR — The Mount Ayr girls basketball team started its game here Friday against Pleasantville trailing the Trojans 12-0 before the opening tip.

Or at least that’s what head coach Thad Streit told his players before the Raiderettes ran away with a 6426 win.

“I told the girls, we dig ourselves a hole,” Streit said. “We realize it, and then the last three minutes of the game, then we play our butts off. So we came out with the idea of starting at tip, we’re down 12 points. They came out with energy, they came out with fire, they came out with enthusiasm. Maybe I need to tell them that every

game.”

Pleasantville jumped to a 6-5 lead in the opening minutes of the game, but then the Trojans went scoreless for close to 10 minutes of game time, as the Raiderettes went on a 32-0 run to put the game away early.

Senior Paige Daughton scored 12 of her game-high 19 points during the 32-0 run, as Mount Ayr got several easy buckets off of turnovers. Kelcie Shields added 14 points for the Raiderettes.

“I think that’s her career high,” Streit said. “She was doing a lot of right things.

She had 17 at halftime. I can’t complain about that.

We were trying to get Brook (Rychnovsky) some more touches, some threes, but they just wouldn’t fall.”

Daughton and Rych-

novsky were the lone seniors on the girls basketball team honored during a senior night celebration in between the girls game and the boys game. In total, 15 Mount Ayr seniors involved in winter activities were honored.

Streit said his team did a good job defensively, especially on Kennedy Core.

“Kennedy Core is the best player in the conference,” he said. “She’s averaging 20 and we held her to 11. She’s a special player. She is dang good.

She didn’t hit any threes tonight. They didn’t hit any threes at all.”

Streit was also pleased with how his team worked the ball inside to get quality looks at the basket.

ATLANTIC — After a tough loss to Red Oak on Friday, the Creston girls basketball team bounced back Saturday with a 60-43 road win over Atlantic.

“It was a quick turnaround,” head coach Larry McNutt said. “I didn’t know how we’d play, but the girls did a good job of bouncing back and getting a good win.”

The win improved Creston to 8-12 for the season. The Panthers remain 2-8 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference, as the game did not count in the conference standings. Atlantic falls to 2-18 for the season.

The Panthers built a 31-17 lead at halftime, but Atlantic crawled back into the game, eventually cutting the deficit to 40-37 at the end of the third quarter.

“They came out in a boxand-one and triangle-andtwo on both Jenna (Taylor) and Natalie (Mostek),” McNutt said. “They got back in the game, but we did a good job in the fourth quarter. We got some open shots and the girls did a good job of making shots down the stretch.”

Creston scored the first four points of the fourth quarter to cushion its lead and never looked back as the Panthers outscored Atlantic 20-6 in the final quarter.

A big part of Creston’s success, especially in the sec-

ond half, was Taylor Briley, who had a breakout game offensively.

Briley scored 19 points to lead all scorers, with 15 of those points coming in the second half.

“Basically they weren’t guarding Briley her and Camryn (Somers) on the wings,” McNutt said. “They did a good job of getting open and knocking down some shots. Taylor got some nice 10 to 12-foot looks at the basket.”

Taylor added 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting, while Mostek recorded a doubledouble with 11 points and 12 rebounds. Chelcee Downing scored seven points to go with seven assists and five rebounds.

“It was a good bounceback win, especially when they cut it to three,” McNutt said.

“We stepped it up defensively when we needed to.”

The Panthers return to action Thursday at home for the final home game of the season. Creston hosts Clarinda for senior night.

The game will also be a “blackout” as McNutt encourages everyone to wear black to the game.

JUNIOR VARSITY The Creston JV team led Atlantic 24-14 at halftime, but struggled against Atlantic’s press in the second half of 42-34 loss.

The loss drops the Panther JV team to 11-9 for the season.

“We came out strong in the first and second quarters,” Creston JV coach Mendy McCreight said. “Then we fell apart and struggled against their press, and made bad passes offense.”

Victory slips away from Raiders

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Things looked good early for Mount Ayr against a tough Pleasantville team here on Friday, as the Raiders scored the final seven points of the first half to take a 32-25 lead into halftime.

The lead was still seven midway through the third quarter, as the Raiders led 38-31 after a Kyle Dolecheck free throw. Then, when Jack Jones hit Jed McCreary for a basket underneath, Mount Ayr held a 42-37 lead with just over 3:00 to go.

But, back-to-back Trever Zoss 3-pointers gave Pleasantville a 43-42 lead and spurred a 26-0 run as the Trojans escaped with a 6353 win over the Raiders.

Mount Ayr went close to eight minutes without scoring, as Pleasantville’s lead reached as much as 63-42.

Pleasantville switched to a fullcourt press that gave Mount Ayr troubles, leading to turnovers and plenty of missed shots.

“They got in that press and we’ve shown this year that if they press, we have a hard time with that,” head coach Bret Ruggles said.

“We missed, I think, 17 or 18 shots in a row. Just can’t miss that many and try to hang on. I’m proud of our guys for fighting back and making it a 10-point game.”

Jones scored the final 11 points of the game, making the final deficit 10 points before being brought out of the Jones game late on senior night. Jones scored a gamehigh 28 points.

“We really talked to our guys that we’ve got to step up and hit shots,” Ruggles said. “We did that early tonight. Riley Weehler hit

The Creston boys basketball team couldn’t seem to buy a bucket here Saturday in a 56-45 loss to Atlantic.

The Panthers trailed 2726 at halftime, but head coach Billy Hiatt said things could have been much different if his team had been able to make a few shots.

“I bet in the first half, we probably left 10 points on missed layups,” Hiatt said.

“We missed a lot of point blank, a lot of putbacks.

Guys got frustrated a little bit. We didn’t get to the free throw line a whole lot.

First half we only shot five free throws.”

While his team struggled offensively in the first half, Hiatt said he felt his team played well defensively.

The biggest struggle was not being able to get its fullcourt press set up after made baskets.

Things took a turn for the worse in the third quarter, as Creston managed to score just six points in the quarter, as Atlantic built a 42-32 lead.

“They came out in the third quarter and they jumped on us,” Hiatt said.

back, and squeezed as hard as I could! Luckily, I got him.”

It was Creston/O-M’s last victory of the day, and perhaps the most satisfying.

“He got him on a nice move to turn him on his back,” Frain said. “He was outworking him there at the end.”

Besides the third-ranked Schwenke, the district will have No. 8 Dylan Forkner of Greene County at 126.

There were numerous other highlights.

Adamson rolls Adamson spent little time on the mat, cruising by falls in 20 seconds and 1:21 at 113.

Wray beat Red Oak’s Tanner Mertz for the third time in three weeks, and all were wild matches. This time, Wray ended up on top in a 7-5 decision on the strength of a 5-0 lead in the opening period.

Likewise, Huntington had another close match with Clarinda’s Trey Stickler in the 138 finals, controlling a 3-0 decision.

Ninth-ranked Tommy Bradshaw of Greene County is matched up with Huntington in the district. Wray will have No. 9 Alexander Schmitz of Kuemper in his weight bracket.

Shiltz, a freshman on the rise in the state outlook at 145 pounds, had a 40-second fall in the semifinals before decking Atlantic’s Reid Nichols in 1:26 in the finals. Coach Frain said the competition level will rise this week with Kuemper’s

the Panthers as coach Billy Hiatt liberally used his bench throughout the second half.

The team’s halftime lead was 35-14.

The teams then had much different outcomes one night later, as the Tigers upset Shenandoah to improve to 3-16 for the season, while the Panthers fell to 10-8 with a home loss to Atlantic. Both were nonconference games, leaving Creston at 6-3 in league play.

But on Friday, all cylinders were clicking for the Panthers, once everyone got settled back in after the severe injury.

“We were just trying to keep our guys focused,” Hiatt said. “For anybody to see something like that, you get kind of sidetracked and not thinking straight for a little bit. We ran a set that we’re comfortable running, to get back into the flow.”

Jay Wolfe had 17 points

10th-ranked Jared Eischeid and Harlan’s Brogan Kelly at the district meet.

Only two of the three can advance to state. Shiltz was the conference champion.

“He will have tough matches next week,” Frain said, “but he’s been doing a good job of going out and doing what he needs to do.”

Leith, recovering from a shoulder injury, has now beaten Clarinda’s Luke Strong three weeks in a row during his comeback. This time it was a 4-3 decision after getting a nearfall for a 4-2 lead in the second period. He held off Strong’s takedown attempts in the final seconds.

“He’s in a tough district and will have to continue to wrestle well,” Frain said. “Strong is a solid wrestler. The Perry kid was ranked earlier in the season, and Chase beat the Greene County kid (10thranked Jeremy Scheuermann) at our tournament.

But he can do it.”

At 160 pounds, Pettit was the second seed and won a crucial 3-2 decision over Jacob Johnson of Atlantic in the semifinals. J.J. Clark then beat him 10-4 in the finals, but with Johnson winning by fall in the consolation round, there was no wrestleback and Pettit was runner-up.

“We knew what that semifinal match meant,” Frain said. “It was like when we wrestled him at conference. It was a battle.”

Trevor Frain, rapidly developing a reputation for

and seven rebounds, with 15 in the first half. By the end of the third period, it was nearly a 30-point game at 46-19.

“We wanted to make sure we brought a lot of energy, and obviously having a big crowd helped,” Hiatt said.

“When we went to our bench we wanted to keep the momentum going, and I thought we did well with that. That’s important, because we have three games in four days.”

The Panthers play at Glenwood tonight in a snowed out makeup game.

RED OAK (29) — Ryan Leininger 5 0-0 11, Jordan Nelson 1 6-7 9, Conner Jansky 1 1-2 3,

quick falls — including a fivesecond pin that’s believed to match a state record — kept it going Saturday with pins in 27 and 49 seconds. Coach Frain cautioned that his secondranked son won’t have it so easy farther down the tournament road.

“We just have to make sure we keep testing him in the (practice) room,” coach Frain said.

On a roll Baker had never won a tournament title, but now has two in a row after the conference and sectional titles at 182. He outscored Clarinda’s Cain Johanns 11-6 in Saturday’s title match.

“He had the cradle in to get a good lead,” Frain said. “He just needs to keep it going.”

Maitlen won by two falls at 195, pinning Clarinda’s Christian Lauritsen in 3:49 in the finals. Lauritsen came into the match with a 38-10 record.

“Lauritsen is a really tough wrestler and Seth just dominated him,” Frain said. “That was good to see.”

Cale Stork of Harlan is ranked just in front of Maitlen in what could be an interesting district matchup.

Hulett was pinned by the rated Christensen of Atlantic in the 220 finals after winning by fall in 5:40 against Clairnda’s Brook Stephens in the semifinals. Stephens won the consolation match, removing any wrestleback worries for the Panther freshman.

Third-ranked Dallon Bendorf of Harlan joins Atlantic’s Christensen and Hulett at the district meet.

The Panther coach also praised the efforts of freshman Cody Tanner scoring points as the replacement for heavyweight Jake Gutschenritter, who could be eligible for state duals if the team qualifies.

“Tanner has filled in just fine,” Frain said. “He’s definitely gotten better and helped us. Jake has not missed a practice. His hard work could pay off if we can CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON get to state.”

67-61 lead This was a prime opportunity in front of the home crowd, as the Panthers bolted to a 67-61 lead on two Taylor free throws with 34 seconds left in the overtime period.

Then the Tigers seized every opportunity given them, and they received a couple of crucial ones.

Taylor — the team’s leading free throw shooter in a game where Red Oak was fouling to stop the clock — fouled out with 23 seconds left.

Then Red Oak center Grace Blomstedt made one free throw, but missed the second to close it to 67-62.

Creston missed two ensuing free throws after being fouled upon rebounding the miss.

Coming downcourt, Red Oak all-conference guard Kate Walker was fouled on a 3-point shot, and casually dropped in all three charity shots to narrow it to 67-65 with 15 seconds left.

Creston again missed two free throws after a Red Oak foul. To make matters worse, Walker was fouled on the rebound scramble of the second miss, giving her a chance to swish two more shots through the net for a 67-67 tie at :12.

In a matter of 22 seconds, the six-point lead had evaporated.

Final possession

it up and dribbled toward the Tiger basket for a quick jump shot. It missed, but she quickly snared the rebound and dropped in the second attempt just before the buzzer, letting Red Oak walk away with a stunning 69-67 victory.

“We had them. I don’t know how else to put it,” Creston coach Larry McNutt said. “Even at the end there, Blomstedt missed the first shot, but we didn’t block her out. We fouled on a three and fouled on a rebound when they had to go the length of the court with 12 seconds left. It just wasn’t smart. It’s too bad, because we outplayed them for most of the game.”

Even with some extra attention from the Panther defense, Walker finished with 38 points, including 12-of-13 shooting at the line. Blomstedt added 21, but no other Tiger managed more than seven.

Mostek led Creston with 16 points and 14 rebounds. Chelcee Downing made three 3-pointers and matched Taylor with 15 points. The more balanced Creston team nearly put five players in double figures, as Camryn Somers tallied nine points and Taylor Briley added eight.

“I thought when Camryn hit that high post jumper to put us up four (63-59, 2:12 left), that we would get them,” McNutt said. “We fouled Walker too much.

She isn’t going to miss there.”

“This was one of our better games of the year,” JV coach Michael West said. “It was a physical game and the guys responded well.”

“We owned the paint tonight,” he said. “And we outrebounded them 38-20.

You’ve got to win from the inside out.”

One area he did see room for improvement, however, was free throw shooting.

The Raiderettes shot just 8-of-21 from the charity stripe in the game.

“We were bad from the free throw line,” Streit said.

Gov. Branstad to ask Iowa Supreme court to overturn juvenile home decision DES MOINES (MCT) — Although he agrees the closure of the Iowa Juvenile Home was in the best of the girls living there, a member of the task force that advised the governor thinks the girls deserve better “parenting” than they are receiving from the state.

“The state is acting like their parent and we have not been a very good parent to these kids and it’s time that we start being a good parent to them,” Drake University law Professor Jerry Foxhoven said Friday. A child advocate for 35 years, Foxhoven chaired an independent task force appointed by Gov. Terry Branstad to investigate abuse allegations at the Toledo home.

Foxhoven’s comment came before the latest round in the parenting dispute between Branstad and the Iowa Legislature over how to raise those girls.

As expected, Branstad said Friday he will ask the Iowa Supreme Court to overturn a Polk County District Court ordering him to re-open the Iowa Juvenile Home.

The governor – represented by the Iowa Attorney General’s Office, said it is his duty to execute all laws of the state, including those applying to children adjudicated delinquent or in need of assistance.

Since Branstad closed the home in mid-January, the girls have been placed in a variety of private, non-profit facilities, detention centers,

youth shelters and mental health. Also, approximately 93 employees were laid off.

“The children were subjected to over 47,000 hours of isolation, denied the education they deserve and mistreated by staff,” he said.

“These children are now in licensed and accredited f a c i l i t i e s Branstad w h e r e they are being better served, receiving the education they were denied at the Iowa Juvenile Home and the treatment and care they need.”

Branstad emphasized his “utmost concern is protecting the health, safety and education of the children who resided at the Iowa Juvenile Home.”

The facts show otherwise, according to Sen. Jack Hatch of Des Moines, the presumptive Democratic nominee for governor.

It’s unfortunate, he said, the governor “has decided to fight his responsibilities in court.”

Legislature and Department of Human Services, Jane Hudson of Disability Rights Iowa called current legislation to re-open the home a “jobs bill.”

That bill, Senate File 2084, would send any child who has failed three placements, “whatever failed means,” to the Iowa Juvenile Home, said

Hudson, who was part of the investigation of the home.

“Here is a failing facility with insufficient staff and training assessing children and the courts are required to send them,” she said.

Former U.S. Rep. Dave Nagle, a Waterloo attorney who grew up in Toledo, said the Disability Rights of Iowa and task force investigations into mistreatment at the home has been greatly distorted and “didn’t focus on all the things they were doing right.”

He also said Branstad and administrations for the past 30 years should be held accountable for “allowing those kids to be in there if it’s so unsafe.”
