“Hell and Mr. Fudge”

Records fall at Panther Relays

According to a 2008 survey, nearly 60% of Americans think there is a hell where “sinners” suffer eternal torment.

Theologians are increasingly divided over the issue. “Hell and Mr. Fudge” is a true story of one man’s need to know the truth.

A new phone application by the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation will show nearby trail routes where users can check in, clock their time to complete the trail and get additional information on points of interest along the way.

Iowa by trail

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

A new smartphone application will provide trail users across the state of Iowa the ability to find and document their experiences on the state’s more than 18,000 miles of multiple-use trails.

Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation Communication Director Hannah Inman said the free application named Iowa by Trails will launch the central Iowa version May 1. Information for the entire state will launch during RAGBRAI. “Iowa does not have a statewide entity over the trail system,” Inman said. “People have always come to us for information, so we have provided maps out of necessity.”

The current version is only avail-

able for the iPhone, but Inman is hopeful fundraising and the design for the Android version will be completed this fall.

Inman said the maps were not easy to update or expand upon, so INHF partnered with Shift Interactive to design a smartphone application. Creston High School graduate Matt Glynn was one of the main designers for the project.

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

Designing the app Glynn’s interest in trail work

Creston Superintendent Steve McDermott announced during Creston School District’s regularly scheduled meeting that the district was in search of a new business manager.

Roy Stroud is the current Creston Schools business manager.

“Our previous business manager had health issues that accumulated, Stroud and he needed time to address those health needs,” said Creston Superintendent Steve McDermott.

“At this point, it appears that his challenges will not allow him to return to work.”

Business managers oversee school finance and school business issues or duties. These include payroll, paying Please see STROUD, Page 2

Business managers create annual budgets for the school board to consider, and serve as the secretary to the board.

“We have been without a business manager’s services s i n c e January,” McDermott said. “ W e have re- McDermott ceived assistance from business managers from both Atlan-

tic and Corning, as well as from Larry Sigel, and he is with Iowa School Finance Information Services.”

The position has been advertised, and Creston School District administration is in the process of reviewing applications.

There are four applicants for the position, and three are currently practicing school business management in Iowa.

“I don’t have a specific timeline set at this time,” McDermott said. “Our intent would be to begin interviews no later than next week, and then to get a decision made as soon as possible.”

Telephone scammers busy MOUNT PLEASANT (MCT) — Area sheriffs’ offices are warning residents about getting phone calls that use “spoofing,” a method in which scammers mask their real identity by displaying a fake telephone number that appears local.

The Henry County Sheriff’s office said a call was reported of someone attempting to receive payment for all edged damage to a vehicle.

Such calls likely originate from another country, according to the sheriff’s office, which is warning

people to be aware about scams and to not give out personal information.

In other instances, spoofers are calling residents in Washington County claiming to be a Washington County Sheriff’s office employee and manipulating caller ID to show (319) 653-2107, an actual number to the sheriff’s office.

started during his 10 years on the Ankeny park board.

After starting up Shift Interactive in 2011 with a couple business partners, Glynn started working on a trail application for West Des Moines.

“It started as a fun side project,” Glynn said. “I had a friend who worked with the city of West Des Moines and they became i n t e r - Glynn ested in purchasing the app in beta form.”

Inman said INHF saw the beta version for West Des Moines and started dreaming of the possibilities of Iowa by Trails.

“We do so much for the trails in Iowa and trying to get people outside so the idea for the app really fit into our mission statement,” Inman said. “We started fundraising about a year ago.”

Glynn, 45, said the process of creating a phone application is three main parts: figur-

ing out the story, coding and testing.

“We spend the first third really working on the design and flow of the user experience,” Glynn said. “We want to see how users will progress through the app — where they start and where they stop — to try to make it user friendly.”

Once a basic frame of the storyline is complete, coders go to work making the visual concepts a hand-held reality.

“Then we starting testing pretty much weekly,” Glynn said. “We have people talk to us as they are using it to see how they think it should work. Inherently, how they think it should work may not match up with app.”

Goals Inman said the staff at INHF recently received access to Iowa by Trails as the last tests are being complete.

“We have this great resource here in Iowa,” Inman said. “This is a great tool to leverage the assets of Iowa trails to local community members.”

Inman and Glynn have hopes that Iowa by Trails will help build awareness for trails and tighten the community that uses them through

social media.

Eventally, INHF hopes communities see a return on economic development trails can bring to an area.

“It can be used as a tourism tool to show users where to eat, stay and sites to see

along the trail and nearby,” Inman said.

The launch party kicks off at 4:30 p.m. May 1 at the River Walk Hub in downton Des Moines. Search Iowa by Trails on Facebook to find and like the app’s page.

HOG FACTORIES FOR ADAIR COUNTY?

Livestock Factories Impact County Residents Wherever We Live.

Reasons for YOU to be Concerned

ENVIRONMENT Iowa Water Pollution Nutrients, including nitrates and bacteria from over-concentrated animal production, has caused Iowa to be ranked 49th in the nation for impaired waters. Who is 50th?

Mississippi. In 2002, the Department of Natural Resources reported 238 impaired waterways in Iowa. By 2008, that number had grown to 542 impaired waterways and, today, that number stands at 630. As those numbers have grown, so have the costs for cities to make water safe for drinking.

Who pays that cost? You, the consumer. Bill Stowe of the Des Moines Waterworks is outspoken about the difficulty and expense of removing nitrates from the Raccoon and Des Moines rivers to make drinking water safe. Hog numbers in our state have risen to well over 20-million head in the past 10 years with no sign of decreasing. Manure spills from CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations) have doubled in that time. Manure spills into our lakes and rivers are often a result of operator negligence---pit overflows, transport leakage and sometimes plain negligence. USDA studies show that factory farmers often intentionally saturate manure on nearby fields to cut transportation costs, or simply because pits are full and they must be emptied. Only 18% apply manure at agronomic rates.

Air Pollution Toxic gaseshydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and particulate matter—can severely impact the health of neighbors. Especially if those neighbors are very young, very old, or have an impaired respiratory system. University of Iowa research indicates increased levels of respiratory allergies and asthma in children living near CAFOs or attending nearby schools. Neighbors often spend days at a time indoors when nearby CAFO emissions are at high levels or the wind is from a certain direction, or if there is no wind and emissions settle in low areas in the surrounding terrain.

Protection Iowa’s DNR is often underfunded and does not have staff to properly monitor and control pollution from CAFOs. Sincere and concerned DNR staff are hamstrung by weakened rules and political interference. Iowa has over 8,000 confined livestock operations and a DNR staff of less than 20 to see that regulations are properly enforced for the health of all Iowans.

When all is taken into account, the Factory Farm industry creates many losses for citizens versus financial gain for a very few owners. Take a hard look at this “industry” and speak up for quality of life, for families, for farms, for neighborhoods and communities.

ECOMOMIC IMPACT Devalued Homes Homes within 2 miles of a CAFO can lose up to 50% of their resale value according to Midwest appraisal studies. Some owners cannot sell their homes at all! Older Adair Countians often depend on the sale of their homes or acreages to help fund a move to town or to a care facility. Young people and retirees may think twice about coming “back home.” Residences that lose value will pay fewer taxes into county coffers. And those eventually abandoned will result in lost county revenues.

Tourists, visitors and campers visit local attractions, spending their dollars Local Businesses in county stores, businesses and other venues. Per capita income and main street retail sales rise.

Those dollars circulate throughout our communities, as well as sales taxes going into county revenues. But research shows local tourism is impacted and poverty levels rise where CAFOs proliferate. Campers often can’t swim in polluted Iowa lakes, or eat the fish they catch.

Keep in mind that - because ag taxes are based on productivity of the County Tax Revenue land - new building sites for CAFOs produce no added tax revenue for the county. Yet CAFO owners receive tax breaks for manure pits! Paradoxically, new commercial businesses will generate new commercial tax revenues for the county as do newly built homes.

Public Roads/Bridges Manure tankers pulled by tractors do not have load limits as do trucks and trailers. So Adair County roads and bridges are subject to increased wear and tear with no new tax revenue to help pay for higher maintenance. In addition, if there is a serious manure spill on roads or in ditches, the county must clean it up---at taxpayer expense, of course.

The meaning of ‘Organic’ Dear Heloise: Could you please reprint what “ORGANIC” means? I am a little confused. - A Reader, via email Happy to help clear up any confusion. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for crops to be considered certified organic, it means that no synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, prohibited pesticides, irradiation or genetically modified organisms were used.

For livestock, no growth hormones or antibiotics can be used, and they have to meet certain health and welfare standards.

There are three labels you might come across: “100 percent organic,” “organic” and “made with organic ingredients.”

“100 percent organic” is just as the label says - 100 percent of it was made using organic ingredients.

“Organic” means at least 95 percent of it was made with organic ingredients, and “made with organic ingredients” means at least 70 percent of its ingredients are organic.

Hints from Heloise If food has a “USDA Organic” seal, it means that it has been certified organic and has met all of the standards required when a government-approved certified inspector inspected the product. - Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

Turn your ‘victory garden’ into a ‘vitamin garden’ with no-fail, high-nutrition veggies and herbs (BPT) - It’s a well-known fact that few Americans actually get the recommended daily dose of vitamins. Many turn to over-the-counter supplements to fill in nutritional gaps. But wouldn’t it be better - not to mention tastier - to get needed nutrients from what you eat?

This season, why not turn your vegetable and herb garden into a “vitamin garden?”

Fortunately, many vitamin-packed vegetables and herbs are easy to grow. Hardy, bountiful varieties like those from Bonnie Plants make it even easier to claim vitamin victory in your veggie garden. Studies show that gardeners tend to eat more fruits and vegetables than non-gardeners, and nothing beats the flavor and freshness of home-grown veggies, fruits and herbs. In addition to the many health benefits gardening delivers, such as gentle exercise, fresh air and sunshine, growing your own vegetables can help ensure you meet vitamin requirements.

While gardening is great exercise, starting a garden is actually an easy task. With

just an hour a day, you can start a small backyard garden, or even grow your own vegetables in pots. Just start with transplants, instead of seed; they’ll save time and effort, and provide you with an earlier harvest. Choose a sunny spot with good drainage, and make sure the soil is in shape to receive plants by soil-kit testing, and amending when necessary.

Feed your food plants, water regularly and don’t forget to patrol for pests.

Ready for your garden?

Try these gardener-friendly, high-powered vegetables and herbs that can ensure your diet is full of flavorful, vitamin-rich foods: Herbs • Basil - Low in calories and cholesterol-free, basil is a rich source of many essential nutrients, minerals and vitamins. It contains exceptionally high levels of betacarotene and vitamin A. • Oregano - High in antioxidants, oregano has both antibacterial and antifungal properties.

• Rosemary - Another antioxidant herb, rosemary is used to fight inflammation.

It’s a good source of vitamin

A, thiamin and magnesium.

Veggies • Bonnie Spinach - Spinach contains more than half the recommended daily value of vitamin A and is high in vitamins C, K , E, folate, manganese, magnesium, iron and potassium. Naturally low in calories, spinach grows well in spring, summer and fall, producing high yields of large, nutrient-rich leaves.

• Tomatoes - Considered a super food, tomatoes deliver high doses of vitamins C, A, K and B6, and minerals such as potassium and

lycopene. Hugely versatile, they’re a great ingredient in a variety of culinary styles, or equally yummy eaten on their own. Bonnie Plants has a range of new, easyto-grow tomato varieties for 2014, including the Biltmore (which ripens a large amount of fruit all at once), and the San Marzano, producing high yields and keeps producing right up until first frost. Check out the “Tomato Chooser” tool on Bonnie Plants’ website to make it easy to find the variety you want. Select traits you’re seeking and the tool will list

the varieties that match!

• Peppers - Another versatile veggie available in a wealth of varieties, peppers deliver fiber, folate, manganese, potassium, copper and vitamins A, C, K and B6.

Many types, such as Bonnie Green Bell peppers, are very easy to grow, and others, like the Giant Marconi, deliver high yield and produce early in the season.

• Squash - Popular and prolific varieties like zucchini and yellow squash require minimal care to produce hefty harvests. Green zucchini deliver vitamins

C, K and B6, as well as folate, manganese and potassium. Yellow squash - either crookneck or straight neck - are easy to grow, early to mature and particularly high in vitamin C. And what’s the one vitamin every single veggie and herb in your garden delivers? You can count vitamin D - the true “sunshine vitamin” among the nutritional benefits of vegetables, herbs and gardening. While you’re outside working in the garden, your body is turning all that sunlight into muchneeded vitamin D. Added to the vitamin value of veggies and herbs are the exercise and relaxation that derive from gardening.

This summer, why not focus on growing your vitamins rather than getting them from a bottle? They’ll taste better than anything that comes from the pharmacy, plus you’ll reap health, wellness, and the many mental and physical benefits of gardening.

For more information on varieties, how-to’s, trouble shooting and even recipes, visit www.bonnieplants. com.

tive assessment objectively determines how badly the brain was traumatized (it’s often not obvious), and it’s going make T-tau bloodtesting kits standard tools one day.

Now the NFL is testing a PET-based brain scan to detect tau proteins, as it explores their connection to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in several retired players. It’s the first time these proteins have been ID’d in a living player suspected of having CTE. Before, as they did for Hall of Fame Center Mike Webster, who suffered multiple concussions that led to CTE, they had to analyze brain tissue postmortem.

Anyone with a concussion, young or old, amateur adventurer or professional athlete, might benefit from getting T-tau protein levels measured. Tests can be done at the hospital using cerebral-spinal fluid. Knowing when it’s safe to return to the field can keep you in the game — for the long run!

NEW (AND OLD) SOLUTIONS FOR HIGH ANXIETY “High Anxiety” may have been Mel Brooks’ idea of funny, but it’s no laughing matter for more than 7 million North Americans who struggle with the insomnia, headaches, muscle tension, eating problems (too much or not enough) and relationship conflicts that general anxiety disorder can trigger.

But there have been some interesting treatment approaches making the news.

A free smartphone app called Personal Zen, designed by a clinical psychologist, offers an anxiety-

reducing game that helps shift your attention away from a seemingly threatening situation or thought to a nonthreatening one. But immediately we wondered: “What if my battery dies?

Or there’s an incoming call while I’m using the app?”

So if you’re trying this, we suggest you find a quiet spot and put your phone on airplane mode.

Then there’s the recent study that suggests you shouldn’t try to calm down.

Instead, reframe your feelings by convincing yourself that you’re excited, a far more positive revved-up feeling, say the researchers.

We say that may work if you’re nervous about public speaking, but not if you’re fretting about paying your bills or losing your job; those thoughts are never exciting!

We like a third approach: According to Johns Hopkins researchers, mindful meditation can ease anxiety symptoms for some folks as well as medication can. Daily, sit comfortably in a quiet room for 10 minutes. Close your eyes. Breathe slowly, in and out. If thoughts pop into your brain, expel them as you exhale. You’ll decrease your stressful feelings, reduce inflammation and release feel-good brain chemicals.

Sweet on Sauerkraut On “Beat Bobby Flay,” when chef Flay’s world-famous tacos were bested by Brian Tsao’s Korean beef and kimchi version, the notso-happy Bobby found out the hard way that fermented cabbage (that’s sauerkraut and kimchi) is just what’s needed to create a tasty, healthful meal (and an entertaining TV show).

Wanna give sauerkraut a try? Shred about five pounds of cabbage; then sprinkle it with three tablespoons of salt (it preserves the cabbage while fermentation begins). Place the cabbage in a pot with a weighted lid. After a couple of days, or longer, in a cool environment, the sugar in the cabbage converts into lactic acid.

That prevents the cabbage from rotting and encourages the growth of lactobacilli — the probiotics also found in yogurt. (These bacteria bolster immune strength and help ease intestinal distress, including constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.)

For kimchi, before you start fermenting, add red pepper paste, ginger and garlic to the basic sauerkraut recipe.

If you don’t make the sauerkraut or kimchi yourself, just make sure you’re getting all their health benefits and flavor when you buy them: Choose only raw and unpasteurized products, surrounded by a lot of liquid in the jar. It’s true that all fermented foods — that’s also miso, tempeh and kefir — contain gut-friendly bacteria. But cabbage (broccoli and Brussels sprouts, too) also has anti-cancer compounds called glucosinolates. So get sweet on sauer, and add kimchi or sauerkraut to veggie dumplings

or toss into a slaw and use them as condiments with stew or soup.

OAT CUISINE You may think oatmeal is bland and old-fashioned, but to true believers it’s flavorful and versatile. If you Google it, 12 million results appear, and it has inspired a website called The Oatmeal Artist and a series of comics at TheOatmeal.com.

But if you’re like most people, your experience with oatmeal is probably limited to granola, granola bars (often sugar-packed and calorie-dense), cookies (more sugar) and instant cup-ofbreakfast servings (you’re not getting the whole-grain nutrients of oats). So here’s the latest news on what you’re missing.

Opt for eating whole oats: Steel-cut oatmeal (it’s chopped up) takes the longest to digest, has the lowest glycemic index and is the least processed.

Rolled flakes are steamed, rolled and toasted (they’re still whole, but not quite as hearty as the steel cut).

Both deliver soluble fiber — including beta-glucan — that lowers lousy LDL cholesterol, eases constipation, controls appetite, keeps good gut bacteria happy and boosts your immune defense against infection.

Whole oats also serve up protein, several B vitamins (B-1, B-6, folate, niacin and more) and minerals such as zinc and manganese. But

the big news is that oats and oats alone contain an antiinflammatory, anti-cancer compound called AVE (avenanthramide).

So start the day with a bowl of whole oats (no added sugar), fresh fruit and a dollop of nonfat, nosugar-added Greek yogurt, and get oat-creative. Try oat and walnut non-meatballs, sprinkle crunchy oat groats on salads and use oats for toppings on veggie casseroles. That’s haute oat cuisine!

PAP TEST VERSUS HPV/DNA SCREENING Marissa Jaret-Winokur (Tracy Turnblad in the Broadway version of “Hairspray”) was diagnosed with cervical cancer after a Pap smear identified rogue cells in her cervix. She had a hysterectomy but spared her ovaries, and seven years later gave birth to a son using a surrogate! That Pap test did its job well. But now an Food and Drug Administration advisory committee has unanimously recommended a human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA test replace the Pap test as the first line check for cervical cancer in women 25 and older.

Why make the change?

The Pap smear is a lab exam of cervical cells that determines if they look precancerous or cancerous. And it delivers a lot of false positive and false negative results. The HPV/DNA test checks inside your cervical cells and correctly IDs can-

cer-causing strains of HPV 16 and 18 (plus 12 other high-risk strains) 90 percent to 95 percent of the time.

But that doesn’t mean you should skip your Pap right now. Since Pap tests were introduced in the 1940s, the death rate for cervical cancer has plummeted 70 percent. So until the Food and Drug Administration decides if they’ll accept the committee recommendations, healthy women should get a Pap test every three years from age 21 (more often if suspect cells are seen).

And between ages 30-65 the America Cancer Society says it’s smart to have co-testing with both the Pap and HPV test (there’s an approved version already).

And even if it’s not your year for a cervical cancer screening, see your doc for a wellness checkup.

THROWING IN THE TAU (TO EVALUATE CONCUSSIONS) A couple of seasons ago, 35 of 288 players in the Swedish Hockey League suffered concussions in the first half of their season!

That’s when the Swedes started testing for T-tau proteins in injured athletes’ blood. These tau proteins are biomarkers, released when there’s a concussion.

(They’re also biomarkers for conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.)

It turns out that tau levels peak during the first hour after a concussion, and the peak levels indicate the severity of the injury and how long symptoms will persist.

Tau levels drop off in the next 12 hours, but often they’re still higher than they should be six days later.

Iowa Public Radio requests funding boost ership, allow them to develop a “sustainable model that will result in meeting its financial goals in the future.” IPR plans to review its strategic plan and provide a “revised university support funding plan” to the regents.

According to the request, IPR plans to use about $500,000 in reserves to cover costs this budget year and to “spend conservatively” and find savings to keep next year’s costs down.

The IPR board in February 2013 voted to fire Mary Grace Herrington, who had been the system’s chief executive officer since 2009.

In follow-up media reports, board members discussed some of the reasons behind her firing, including workplace environment issues and Herrington’s management style.

Herrington later received a $197,000 settlement with IPR after the board publicly discussed the personnel matter. The settlement was for “emotional distress and other compensatory damages.”

In exchange, Herrington released all her claims against IPR. Following a monthslong search, Myrna Johnson was named IPR’s new executive director in January.

Johnson has more than 30 years of experience in the non-profit sector, including eight years in the government affairs office of National Public Radio.

She grew up in rural northwest Iowa and has a bachelor’s degree from Wartburg College and a master’s degree in public administration from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

The Board of Regents could discuss the IPR funding request at its meeting in Council Bluffs next week.

(MCT) — A change in the leadership of Iowa Public Radio last year hampered fundraising efforts and has prompted officials to ask the Board of Regents for an unplanned boost in funding.

T h e funding level. plan included an annual funding schedule that decreased regent funding and increased private support with the goal of making IPR financially independent by the 2017 budget year.

Large donor fundraising was “key” to increasing private support, according to a funding request made public this week by the Board of Regents.

“However, IPR had an extended period with interim leadership, which resulted in interrupting the plan to increase funding from large donors,” according to the request.

IPR received $944,800 from the regent universities in the 2013 budget year, $826,700 in the current budget year, and it’s slated to get $708,600 in 2015, according to the approved funding schedule. But the IPR board is asking regents to revert to the 2013 funding level of $944,800 for next year.

“This will allow IPR’s new executive director and board of directors to launch a large donor effort and to update the strategic plan,” according to the request.

National Digest

Haith leaves NEW YORK — Frank Haith has verbally agreed to leave Missouri and become the next men’s head basketball coach at Tulsa, according to ESPN.com.

Haith takes over for the recently departed Danny Manning, who is now the Wake Forest head coach.

Haith has spent the last three seasons in Columbia, compiling a 7628 record and making the NCAA Tournament twice. Last season Haith guided the Tigers to a 2312 record and a berth in the National Invitation Tournament, where the team lost to Southern Mississippi in the second round.

Haith takes over a Tulsa team that went 21-13 last season and made the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2003.

Parker declares DURHAM, N.C. — After much deliberation, Jabari Parker has decided to forgo the final three years of eligibility at Duke and declare for the 2014 NBA Draft.

In his lone season at Duke, Parker lived up to the hype as he averaged 19.1 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. He set Duke records in points, rebounds, and doubledoubles for a freshman.

Various reports had said that Parker nearly returned for his sophomore season, but decided in the end it was best for him to go pro.

“I realize how much of a privilege and an honor it is to join the ranks of the NBA. I will do everything in my power to help deliver championships to the franchise that drafts me. At the same time, I recognize the obligation to represent the league in an admirable way off the court,” Parker said in an essay he wrote for Sports Illustrated.

With Parker now declared, he is expected to compete for the number one overall spot. The draft will be held on June 26.

Shields dominant HOUSTON — James Shields struck out 12 over eight stellar innings of one-run ball as the Kansas City Royals beat the Houston Astros, 5-1, to complete a threegame sweep.

Shields (1-2) allowed four hits and walked two, while Norichika Aoki and Alex Gordon tallied a pair of hits and two runs scored for Kansas City, which improved to 7-7 on the young campaign.

Scott Feldman (2-1) surrendered five runs -- four earned -- on nine hits and a walk over six frames for the Astros, who have lost four in a row and five of their last six.

Three meet records fell here Thursday on a perfect night for track and field at the Panther Relays.

Creston junior Jay Wolfe was a part of two of those meet records, while the Mount Ayr distance medley relay team claimed the other record.

The buildup to Thursday created a highly-anticipated showdown in the 4x800 relay between Creston, Harlan and Mount Ayr. All three teams had run 8:28.00 or better this season and had a Drake Relays qualifying time on their minds on the final day for qualifications.

The race was as exciting as promised, as all three teams broke the previous meet record in the event.

Wolfe’s 1:56 anchor leg was the difference, as Creston pulled away for the win in 8:09.07, ahead of Wolfe Mount A y r ’ s 8:12.11 and Harlan’s 8:13.78.

mott, Brandon Phipps and Wolfe also broke the school record, set at last year’s State Qualifying Meet.

Unofficially, as of 12:01 a.m. today, that time also gives the Panthers the 16th and final qualifying spot for the Drake Relays in the event.

“Getting under 8:10, that was a big boost,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “Not only setting a

school record, but setting a meet record. Holy cow.

That relay is on a roll right now. I don’t see that stopping anytime soon.”

800 record Wolfe came back later in the evening to break the meet record in the 800 meter run, set in 2002 by former school record holder Nathan Brotherton.

The current school record holder Wolfe ran 1:57.97, bettering his time

for Drake Relays qualifying.

As of 12:01 a.m. today, that time placed Wolfe 13th out of 16 qualifying spots for the Drake Relays, unofficially putting him into the competition.

“It was his race. Jay was out there,” Schlapia said.

For the third straight meet, Phipps and McDermott went first and second in the 1,600. Phipps ran 4:40.45, while McDermott crossed in 4:45.62.

Overtime goal lifts Panthers Denison-Schleswig Kinkade scores as dusk falls girls gain first victory

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@ crestonnews.com

Creston soccer coach Jesus Rodriguez played a hunch.

His team was tied 1-1 with Denison-Schleswig in the second overtime period, as the sun was setting at the soccer field south of Creston Elementary/Middle School, with no lights. (The Panther Relays were being held at Panther Field.)

Forward McClain Haines had just been issued a yellow card — the 10th total of the match — and Rodriguez had to turn to his bench with less than six minutes remaining in the second overtime.

Rodriguez signalled to junior reserve Connor Kinkade, who was coming off a strong JV performance Tuesday against Underwood. He had spelled Haines for a few minutes near the end of regulation.

“I had a hunch,” Rodriguez said.

“He scored a couple goals on Tuesday. I thought, why not give him a chance here?”

Winning play Forward Conner Pals took the ball through two defenders on an attack, and during the flurry the

ball squirted back toward a trailing Kinkade.

“Pals got the ball through and I was just there for cleanup, and just knocked it in,” Kinkade said.

The goal, with 3:56 left in the second overtime be- Kinkade fore the two teams would have gone to a penalty-kick shootout, gave Creston a 2-1 victory and its third overtime win of the season.

After beating Class 1A ninthranked Underwood in overtime Tuesday, and a win over a DenisonSchleswig team garnering ratings votes in Class 2A, the Panthers stand 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the Hawkeye 10. Dension falls to 2-3 and 1-1.

“We haven’t done this in awhile, beat two teams back-to-back who have been recognized in the rankings,” Rodriguez said. “It feels great.”

Denison-Schleswig’s Jorge Partida is sandwiched by Creston defenders Kyle Jennett (20) and Brant Hudson (23) while trying to advance the ball against the Panthers here Thursday. Creston’s defense held up until scoring the winning goal in overtime for a 2-1 victory.

Denison-Schleswig built a 4-0 lead and finished with a 4-1 win over the Creston girls soccer team here Thursday in a battle of winless teams.

Denison-Schleswig came in 0-3 with losses of 12-0 to Lewis Central, 10-0 to St. Albert and 10-0 to Glenwood — all by the mercy rule — but was able to convert four of its six shots on goal.

Overall, Creston outshot the Monarchs 28-10 with 17 shots on goal, but couldn’t find the net until Toni VanScoy knocked in a rebound shot off the Monarch goalkeeper with VanScoy

eight minutes remaining.

Career goalkeeper Sadie Jones, who started playing in the field for a time Tuesday at Carroll Kuemper, held duty as midfielder all night Thursday and provided a spark to the revived Panther offense. Sophomore Becca Ross had goalie duties.

Despite the loss, Creston coach Kim Lauffer was encouraged her team controlled so much of the action, especially in the second half.

“Yes, I was encouraged,” Lauffer said. “We outshot them, we were playing well. As many times as we shot on the goal, it’s disappointing we didn’t get more than one in, but that just shows me what we need to work on. Our defense is doing a good job, so now we focus on the offense.”

Panther girls set personal bests at Glenwood

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

GLENWOOD — The Creston girls track team edged out Atlantic by four points for fourth place in the team standings here on Thursday at the Ram Relays.

The Panthers finished with 54.5 points, compared to Atlantic’s 50.5 points.

Glenwood ran away with the team title, scoring 206 points.

After having Monday’s home meet called off because of weather, Creston head coach Clay Arnold said it was good to get his team back out and competing.

“It really was. We’re not the kind of team that can take a week off from meets,” he said. “We need to have two meets a week to stay sharp. We could tell we weren’t sharp tonight.”

The night started with a pair of PRs for the Panthers in the field events.

Sophomore Amber Castillo jumped a new personal best of 14-10 in the long j u m p , while Marie Hood Castillo picked up a new personal best throw of 74-1 in the discus.

“Amber’s last jump, she was well before the board and would have easily made 15 feet if she hit the board,” Arnold said.

Another highlight from the field events was Natalie

Mostek clearing 4-10 in the high jump for third place.

T h a t clearance came mo- N. Mostek ments after running a 2:27.9 leg on the runner-up 4x800 relay team for the Panthers.

“She cleared 4-8 before she went to the 4x800,” Arnold said. “Then five minutes after she ran a 2:27.9 third leg, she cleared 4-10. If she would have been fresh, her attempts at 5-0 looked better than her jumps at 4-10 last week.”

The Panther 4x800 team finished second to Harlan.

Creston ran 10:10.55 compared to Harlan’s 10:02.35.

Members of that relay were Lexie Little, Jami Sickels, Natalie Mostek and Maria Mostek.

“We had it stacked up, looking to go after Harlan,” Arnold said. “We ran an awesome time for early in the season.”

Maria Mostek came back later in the evening to win the 800 meter run in a tough race with Harlan’s Bailey Kuhl.

Mostek edged Kuhl 2:28.98 to 2:29.28.

“Maria was up against her arch nemesis, Bailey Kuhl of Harlan,” Arnold said.

“They were neck and neck and Maria beat her. That’s definitely a PR in the open 800. She ran great. Looked good doing it, had a great kick.”

Jami Sickels took sixth in

the event, giving the Panthers two placewinners out of the 800 meters.

“First time running two 800s in a night,” Arnold said. “Ran a really good race. Stayed with the front pack most of the way. She ran real strong. Anytime you can run your second 800 of the night faster than the first, I’m happy with that.”

The Panther 4x400 team of Little, Natalie Mostek, Maria Mostek and Chelcee Downing took third behind Harlan and Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson.

set up the winning goal.

“You have to give a lot of props to Pals, fighting through two or three guys and eventually the ball popped out to Kinkade,” Rodriguez said. “Connor was patient. He got away from traffic before striking the ball, and he was rewarded with the winning goal.”

The teams had remained tied 1-1 after each scored early in regulation. Denison’s Alan Romero headed in a ricochet shot for an early Monarch lead.

Jones had 11 shots to lead the Panthers and Van Scoy had five in a lineup depleted by injuries. Starting forward Abbie Cook was on crutches with a strained tendon in her hip, and starters Savannah Hartman and Itzayanna Rubio were unable to return after suffering ankle injuries.

“We started the night stronger offensively, especially with Sadie in our midfield,” Lauffer said. “We noticed in the Kuemper match, when Sadie was on the field in the second half they only had nine shots after having 20 in the first half.”

Ross only has JV experience in the goal, and Lauffer said it’s still a learning experience.

“Right now she feels like people expect her to be Sadie,” Lauffer said. “In two years, yes, I will expect that after being coached and trained. It just takes time.

Sadie was not as good as she is now when she was starting out, so we don’t want to put too much pressure on her.”

First goal The Panthers answered shortly afterward. Haines took a through ball deep into the scoring zone. The shot was blocked by Denison goalkeeper Joshua Bonilla, and freshman Gavin Woods was in position to shoot it in the net on a sharp angle from the right side. “ G a v i n Woods was sprinting and closing hard, and to stop and finish like that, it takes technique to score like that,” Rodriguez said.

Although scoring was at a premium throughout the match, intensity wasn’t lacking. Denison received six yellow cards and four were issued to Creston players.

Rodriguez said in the end, Denison was unable to match the physical play of his team, particularly on the Panther defensive end, despite the absence of junior Tayler Pettit with an aggravated knee injury.

“We were the physical team and they were the skill

players in this game,” Rodriguez said. “They can trap the ball and switch the field, typical things you see from players who have been playing since they were little.

We’re trying to get there.

We had a lot of combinations and we were trying to attack. The physicality and our strength, and our speed, carried us today.”

At one point Denison coached Carlos Trevino shouted to the officials, “They’re playing regular football, not soccer!”

The Panthers’ style paid off in a shooting advantage, as goalkeeper Alex Nielsen had only three saves for the night. Creston had 12 shots, including four on goal.

Creston plays two matches Saturday at the Winterset tournament. The field also includes Nodaway Valley, Oskaloosa and the host Huskies. Creston returns home Monday night to take

on Nodaway Valley.

“I told the guys, we can celebrate tonight, but the hardest thing to do in soccer is to win a hard game, and then another one after that,” Rodriguez said. “We have a great chance to come out of Monday 7-1, and that’s huge for us. We have not started a season like that. But we can’t do that if we don’t Games cancelled come back and play well Southwestern’s schedSaturday.”

strikeouts and six walks in game one. She allowed six earned runs.

In the nightcap, McIntosh pitched six innings with eight hits allowed, three walks and one strikeout. Only two of the six runs were earned as the Spartans had three errors.

“The second game was like the first in that one bad inning cost us,” Stumpff said. “They scored four runs in the third, all on two outs.”

Southwestern (5-13 conference, 13-18 overall) travels to Ellsworth Saturday before an Easter Sunday

non-conference doubleheader at home against Graceland JV, starting at 1 p.m.

The Ellsworth twinbill is key in the Spartans’ quest to move up in the ICCAC standings. Ellsworth is one position ahead in fifth place at 6-10, and 7-14 overall.

Outdoor news Tree distribution DES MOINES – MidAmerican Energy Company residential customers who live in Iowa can participate in the Plant Some Shade® program this spring. The program offers customers discount-priced trees to reduce future energy use and green up their neighborhoods.

Strategically placed deciduous trees provide shade on hot summer days, easing the cooling load on air conditioners or heat pumps. Trees planted on the west side of a house provide the most benefit. Additionally, conifer trees planted as windbreaks help protect the home from blustery Iowa winter winds thus reducing the energy needed for heating.

Plant Some Shade is a partnership initiative to aid long-term energy and natural resource conservation.

The program is funded by MidAmerican Energy and

administered by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources – Bureau of Forestry, with eight local partners: City of Cedar Rapids, Johnson County Extension, Polk County Conservation, Pottawattamie County Conservation Board, Scott County Conservation Board, Warren County Conservation Board, City of Waterloo and Webster County Conservation Board.

Plant Some Shade offers MidAmerican Energy’s residential customers the ability to purchase up to two, 3- to 4-foot conifers and 5- to 8-foot landscaping trees for $30 each. A variety of trees are available, including two or three varieties of shade trees, a low-growing ornamental tree and a conifer.

“Encouraging residents to plant trees in their yard is an effective way to promote energy efficiency and environmental beautification,” said Tina Yoder, MidAmerican Energy’s manager, energy

efficiency.

“Strategically planted trees provide yearround protection of homes from the elements and that means energy savings. Plant Some Shade helps our customers save energy.”

Plant Some Shade events will be held in Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des Moines, Fort Dodge, Indianola, Iowa City and Waterloo. Prepayment and advance orders are required. Order forms can be obtained at www.midamericanenergy.com/iowa_plantsomeshade.

Orders will be accepted until all trees have been sold. Tree recipients are given instructions on how to plant and care for their trees, including safety information regarding the need to call 811 before digging to check for underground power lines. In addition, it is important to choose a tree that fits the site characteristics so that it will not grow into overhead power lines.

a tight race. Heck, that’s a career best for him. He’s really been doing well in that 100 and 200. He’s been our leader on the team for that.”

Phipps and Walters were two of the six Panther seniors honored during a senior parents’ night presentation. Other seniors on the Creston team are Alex Chapman, Evan Nielsen, Trevor Luther and manager Jon Birchard.

Luther set a new career best in the discus throw in placing second with a toss of 145-1. That vaults him up to 40th in the state in all classes.

“He had a 133-5 as a career and season best and he blew that away,” Schlapia said. “That really jumped him up a lot on the charts. All four throws were career bests. He was really pumped up.”

Raider relays Mount Ayr broke the other meet record on the night, winning the distance medley relay in 3:40.49, breaking the old record by .04 seconds.

Members of that relay team were Jacob Sobotka, Erik Freed, Kyle Dolecheck and Noah Larsen.

It was that same quartet that placed second in the 4x800 relay and that capped off the night by

winning the Dick Skarda 4x400 Relay. Unofficially, Mount Ayr’s 4x400 relay time of 3:28.35 from Tuesday’s Chariton meet holds up as the 20th qualifier out of 24 in to the Drake Relays.

Mount Ayr junior Joe Ricker won the discus competition with a throw of Ricker 147-2.
