Award-winning ophthalmologist provides local care in Creston

By JAKE WADDINGHAM CNA associate editor

jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

An ophthalmologist who does outreach work in southwest Iowa and Nebraska was recently recognized as one of the 2015 Ten Outstanding Young Americans.

Dr. Michael Feilmeier is the medical director of Prevention of Global Blindness Division at the Truhlsen Eye Institute at the University of Nebraska Medical Cen-

ter and a physician with Midwest Eye Care.

“Each year, the United States Junior Chamber recognizes individuals who exemplify the best attributes of the nation’s young Feilmeier people,” Laura Chesney-Gadd, director of the Ten Outstanding Young Amer-

icans program, said in a press release. “Dr. Feilmeier’s tireless mission to cure blindness, his commitment to provide the gift of sight to those less fortunate, and his dedication to teaching others so they may help in the cause, is the reason we are proud to honor him.”

Once a month, he travels to Creston, Corning and Red Oak to provide clinics and perform ocular surgery. Dr. Feilmeier said he works with local eye care provid-

ers and Greater Regional Medical Center to assist with specialized care or complex cases.

He performs an average of five to eight procedures each month in Creston.

“We bring our services to the local communities to serve in a convenient fashion,” Dr. Feilmeier said. “We work in support of the local heath care systems to provide world class care at a local level.”

Dr. Feilmeier joins Olympians,

presidents and professional entertainers with this award.

“To be included in this year’s group of recipients is an incredible honor,” Dr. Feilmeier said. “I am merely one of many individuals who have dedicated their life to the pursuit of seeing that no one lives needlessly in darkness.

It has been the singularly most rewarding aspect of my professional Please see FEILMEIER, Page 2A

Cost to sell goods at the farmers’ market is $11 per day or $70 for the season. The market is scheduled from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Mondays in the southeast corner of McKinley Park.

In a little more than a month, the summer sun will be accompanied by the smell of food, music wafting through the air and the bustle of locals looking for the best deals at the local farmers’ market.

Creston’s farmers’ market starts June 1, and will run until Sept. 28.

“In the beginning, it’ll be mostly baked goods and plants,” said Brian Zachary, market manager.

“Eventually, we’ll have produce, baked goods, honey, soap, and there’s always jam. There’s a vendor that has meat and eggs. And, there should be some craft Zachary items as well.”

The market is scheduled from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Mondays in the southeast corner of McKinley Park, and will host southern Iowa vendors with different things 100 percent made in Iowa.

There was an average of 20 vendors per night during the farmers’ market in 2014, with a total of approximately 50 vendors throughout the season. Vendors can get in touch with Zachary, or attend

Market Manager Brian Zachary said approximately 20 venders are present each Monday at Creston’s farmers’ market.

the farmers’ market meeting 6 p.m. May 13 at the meal site in the restored Creston Depot to sign up.

“It’s interesting because, nationally, the trend (of attending farmers’ markets) is starting to drop off, but it’s such an event that is free at the park,” Zachary said. “There’s a social thing that is still very much needed here in Creston, and I think that the market fills that need, as well as groceries.”

There will be a meal and music avail-

able at the market as well as the variety of vendors.

“It’s really a nice night. You can get supper, and listen to music, and hang out in the park,” Zachary said. “Everybody has been asking me about it. They’re excited. I’m excited. It’s always nice in the spring to get back out in the park.”

Cost to sell goods at the farmers’ market is $11 per day, or $70 for the season.

Eminent domain legislation advances in Iowa Legislature The proposed change could impact two current proposals, both of which are before the Iowa Utilities Board.

■

DES MOINES (AP) — Legislation that would make it harder for two energy projects to win eminent domain rights received preliminary approval in the Iowa Legislature on Tuesday.

Subcommittees in the House and Senate met jointly and approved identical

legislation, under which a project seeking eminent domain to build through private properties could get permission only after negotiating voluntary deals for at least 75 percent of the affected land.

Rep. Bobby Kaufmann, R-Wilton, said the goal of

the legislation was to protect landowners.

“It’s not about wind, it’s not about jobs, it’s not about oil,” he said. “It’s about private property and whether private or governmental entities could forcibly shove themselves onto your property.”

The legislation must now win committee approval in both chambers.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will announce his plans to seek the Democratic nomination for president on Thursday, presenting a liberal challenge to Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Sanders, an independent who describes h i m self as a “democratic socialist,” will f o l l o w Sanders a statement with a major campaign kickoff in his home state in several weeks. Two people familiar with his announcement spoke to The Associated Press under condition of anonymity to describe internal planning.

Sanders will become the second major Democrat in the race, joining Clinton.

He has urged the former secretary of state to speak out strongly about issues related to income inequality and climate change. The former first lady and New Y o r k senator is viewed as a heavy favorite in the primary and e n t e r e d Clinton the race earlier this month.

The white-haired senator and former mayor of Burlington, Vermont, has been a liberal firebrand, blasting the concentration of wealth in America and assailing a “billionaire class” that he says has taken over the nation’s politics. His entry could be embraced by some liberals in the party who have been disenchanted with Clinton and have unsuccessfully urged Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren to join the race.

In recent weeks, Sanders has been a forceful critic of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, which would eliminate tariffs and other trade barriers for the U.S., Can-

ada and Asian countries conducting commerce with each other.

“One of the key reasons why the middle class in America continues to decline and the gap between the very rich and everyone else is growing wider is because of disastrous trade agreements which have sent millions of decent-paying jobs to China and other low-wage countries,” Sanders said last week.

Sanders generated attention in 2010 when he staged a lengthy Senate floor speech opposing a tax agreement by President Barack Obama and Republicans.

He has called for universal health care, a massive infrastructure jobs and building program, a more progressive tax structure and reforms to address the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which Sanders says has unleashed a torrent of money from big donors to political candidates.

The senator has generated some enthusiasm on college campuses and liberal enclaves in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina and made several trips to court the influential Democratic voters there.

“He will add color,” said Lou D’Allesandro, a Democratic state senator from New Hampshire. “He’s not bashful about anything.”

Kathy Sullivan, a New Hampshire supporter of Clinton and a member of the Democratic National Committee, said Sanders’ decision was expected.

“I know Hillary Clinton has always been expecting for there to be a competitive Democratic primary in New Hampshire,” Sullivan said. “I think he should be taken seriously.”

Karl Rhomberg, a Davenport, Iowa, Democratic activist, said that while he expects Clinton “to be the nominee, I expect her to listen to Bernie, listen to Please see SANDERS, Page 2A

Deaths Dwayne McClelland Greenfield

Dwayne McClelland, 74, of Greenfield died April 25, 2015, at Greenfield Rehabilitation and Health Care Cen- McClelland ter.

Funeral services will be 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 2, at the United Methodist Church in Greenfield. Full military graveside rites will be conducted by Greenfield American Legion Head-Endres Post No. 265, V.F.W. Post No. 5357 and Fontanelle American Legion Carlson Post No. 247 at Greenfield Cemetery. A luncheon will be held at the church following burial services.

Visitation will be 2 to 8 p.m.

Friday with family present 6 to 8 p.m. at Steen Funeral Home, 101 S.E. Fourth St., Greenfield. Memorials may be given to the Dwayne McClelland memorial fund to be established by the family at a later date. Online condolences may be left at www. steenfunerals.com.

Dwayne Arthur McClelland, son of Leila (Lyddon) and Wilbur McClelland, was born Oct. 11, 1940, in rural Greenfield.

Dwayne grew up on the family farm north of Greenfield, attending school in a one-room school prior to

Juanita Matthews

graduating from Greenfield High School in 1959. After graduation, he volunteered and served seven years with the U.S. Army Reserve, including completing basic training at Fort Jackson, S.C. On May 1, 1960, Dwayne married Priscilla Reha in Orient. They resided in Greenfield all their lives.

Dwayne initially worked for the Greenfield Elevator, prior to beginning a 31-year career with United Telephone Company in 1964.

He started as a lineman and with additional training and school he advanced to a switchman. After retiring from the telephone company in 1995, he worked for Cardinal Insulated Glass for eight years before retiring for good in 2003.

Dwayne was a long time member of Greenfield Methodist Church, where he served on many church committees. He also served on the Greenfield Volunteer Fire Department for 30 years, including two terms as fire chief.

Dwayne is survived by his wife Priscilla of Greenfield; children, Lori (Mark) Ramsey of Greenfield and Steven of Urbandale; grandsons, Kyle (Jenna) Ramsey of Stanton, Clay Ramsey of Ames and Nicholas and Tyler McClelland of Iowa City; brother Larry of Greenfield; as well as other relatives and many friends.

Dwayne was preceded in death by his parents; and brothers, Gene and Dick. ita married Carrol Perry Mathews of Clearfield in Gallatin, Mo. In December of 1945, the family moved to Carrol’s grandparents farm near Maloy, after the war, where Carrol farmed, and Juanita was a homemaker for three years. In 1949, they bought a farm on the west edge of Diagonal. They built a house and surrounding buildings where they have resided for 52 years together. Juanita and Carrol continued raising cattle after retirement.

Juanita is survived by her son Robert Matthews of Diagonal; daughter Janis (Robert) Imhoff of Atlantic; grandchildren, Julie McKay of Seymour, John (Sandra) Matthews of Smithville, Mo., and Chris (Tina) Ambrose of Diagonal; and great-grandchildren Jodi McKay and Cole Matthews.

Juanita was preceded in death by her parents; husband; siblings, Esther, Leonard, “Pete” Loren, Lela, Alma, Ken, Cleon, Don and Elaine; granddaughter Dusty Nicole Dodson; and great-grandson Joshua McKay.

career, and I look forward to dedicating the rest of my life to helping bring individuals out of the darkness and back into the light.”

Dr. Feilmeier said it was a “very humbling” experience receiving the award.

“That night, I felt more ordinary than I ever have in my life, being surrounded by such incredible people,” Dr. Feilmeier said.

“Being able to pay homage to people that have been mentors to me, that was probably my favorite part.”

He added meeting Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin and U.S. Air Force Major Tucker Hamilton was a memorable experience from the

ceremony.

International work Since 2010, Dr. Feilmeier has led eight trips to Haiti, Ethiopia and Nepal, performing more than 1,400 sight restoring surgeries.

Nepal was devastated

by a 7.8-magnitude earthquake Saturday. Nepalese police said Wednesday the death toll had reached 5,027. Another 18 were killed on the slopes of Mount Everest, while 61 died in neighboring India, and China’s official Xinhua News Agency reported 25 dead in Tibet.

The disaster also injured more than 10,000, police said, and rendered thousands more homeless. The U.N. says the disaster has affected 8.1 million people — more than a fourth of Nepal’s population of 27.8 million — and that 1.4 million needed food assistance.

Dr. Feilmeier said he visited Nepal in February and there are premedical students from UNMC helping

with the relief efforts.

“There are a lot of similarities to working internationally and providing local services,” Dr. Feilmeier said. “The biggest barrier a lot of people face is access to care. It is much more convenient to access if we to come out there.”

Dr. Feilmeier praised the local staffs in Creston, Corning and Red Oak, which allow him to provide effective care to patients just like he would at his office in Omaha.

“I love going out and doing work in places like Creston because I enjoy engaging with the people,” Dr. Feilmeier said. “The people are warm and appreciative of the care. I just enjoy interacting with people in that setting, seeing the genuine appreciation.”

primary, such as O’Malley, the former Maryland governor, former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb and ex-Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee.

A feisty voice for liberal policies, Sanders has long championed working-class Americans. He grew up in a Jewish family in Brooklyn — his father, an immigrant from Poland, sold paint for a living —and his views about the distribution of wealth were formed early.

“A lack of money in my family was a very significant aspect of my growing up,” Sanders told the AP in December. “Kids in my class would have new jackets, new coats, and I would get hand-me-downs.”

After his graduation from the University of Chicago, Sanders moved to Vermont in the 1960s as part of the counterculture, back-to-theland movement that turned the state from solid Yankee Republican into one of the

bluest in the country.

Sanders lost several statewide races in the 1970s before he was elected mayor of Burlington in 1981 — a race he won by 10 votes.

He was elected to the House a decade later, then won a Senate seat in 2006.

He has carried a consistent message during his political career, arguing that the system is rigged in favor of the wealthiest Americans to the disadvantage of the nation’s poor and working class.

“I look forward to dedicating the rest of my life to helping bring individuals out of the darkness and into the light.”

He added: “If Bernie is going to put a stake on the left side of the field and draw Hillary toward it, that’s OK with me.”

Sanders will start his campaign as a distinct underdog against Clinton, who remains the dominant front-runner. The Vermont senator is likely to face other challengers in the

would transmit wind-generated energy from Iowa to customers in the Midwest and East Coast.

Both projects are trying to negotiate settlements with landowners, though eminent domain may be sought. The Iowa Utilities Board is reviewing both proposals and no hearing dates have been set.

The pipeline project has negotiated easements with about 50 percent of the roughly 1,300 parcels of land, said Vicki Granado, a spokeswoman for Energy Transfer Partners. And the Rock Island Clean Line project has negotiated deals with about 15 percent of 1,550 parcels, said Iowa-based manager Beth Conley.

Landowners questioned both projects during the

hearing. On the pipeline, they cited possible harm to farmland and the threat of spills, and they wondered whether private companies should have access to local land for energy projects that won’t directly benefit Iowa households.

Lobbyists stressed the companies were trying to make reasonable deals with landowners and added that the projects could create jobs in Iowa. Jeffrey Boeyink, a lobbyist for the Texas company seeking to build the pipeline, also argued that it was unfair to “retroactively change this process while our approval is underway.”

tion on the stewardship and importance of natural resources.

The severe erosion during the “Dust Bowl” years of the 1930s brought about the first efforts to prevent soil erosion, which also helped protect water resources. Iowa passed a law in 1939 to establish a state agency and the means for soil and water conservation districts to organize. This legislation declared it the policy of the state of Iowa to: preserve soil and water; protect the state’s tax base; and promote health, safety and public welfare of people of Iowa.

Today, Iowa is a national leader in the implementation of water quality and watershed projects, soil conservation and buffer programs.

Creston News Advertiser Wednesday, April 29, 2015

OPINION

Trying to catch my breath after the Drake Relays I feel like I am still trying to catch my breath from the 2015 Drake Relays.

No, I didn’t get to race on the blue oval, but my experience at the relays was just as memorable as the first time I qualified for the state track meet my sophomore year of high school.

Last week I spent some extra time in the evenings and through the weekend working as a correspondent for FloTrack, a company that specializes in online coverage of all running-related events.

I interview people almost every day for the Creston News Advertiser, but trying to interview former and potential Olympic athletes just

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham associate editor

minutes after a race on video is a completely different type of rush.

Not only did I have to think on my feet about what to ask, but I had to keep my cool while talking to some of my all-time favorite athletes. My girlfriend, Pam, gave me a lot of grief when I asked her to inconspicuously take a photo of my interview with Will Leer.

Leer is a mid-distance runner

that has represented the United States in international races. He has become a crowd favorite for his epic beard and long hair, which add to the intensity of facial expressions during races.

Reflecting back now, I do wish a few things would have gone differently for my first Drake Relays experience as a FloTrack correspondent. First, the weather was rough. It was a perfect night for the 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter races Thursday, but Friday and Saturday were cold, wet and windy.

There were still some record-breaking performances, but the weather hindered the field events and short-distance races.

The weather forced some college athletes to drop out of races to avoid risking an injury three weeks before conference meets.

I wish the 800-meter run would have played out in favor of our local athletes, but the unpredictable nature of racing is what makes it so exciting. If you haven’t been out to watch the trio of Jay Wolfe, Bryce Briley and Kyle Dolecheck race yet, hurry because there are not many opportunities left this season.

It is hard to believe we are just two days away from May. The wedding save-the-dates and graduation party invitations have been filling up my mailbox, which is a pleasant change from the usual of junk mail

and bills.

I enjoy visiting with the seniors about where they are headed for school. It also means I get to fill up on great food and don’t have to cook, which is a huge win for anyone who has ever tasted my cooking.

This week, I’ll pass along my favorite quote for seniors to remember as they embark on their next adventure.

“You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go...” — Dr. Seuss

Pete Rose was allowed by MLB to participate in July’s All-Star Game HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America and how’s everybody?

Mattel toy company executives yielded to animal rights activists on Monday and canceled production of their Seaworld Trainer Barbie out of respect for the whales. The dollmaker wants to appear socially conscious. It will be replaced by a new doll, the Former Male Olympic Decathlon Gold Medalist Barbie.

Pete Rose was allowed by MLB to participate in July’s All-Star Game in Cincinnati on condition of good behavior. They must eliminate any temptation. To keep Pete out of trouble, he has agreed not to discuss gambling on baseball, talk about wagering in any form or speak to any woman named Betty.

Men’s Health magazine prescribed sex as a healthy exercise for men in its study of men’s sexual activity and its role in a healthier lifestyle. The study say for men, having sex burns the same number of calories as running for five miles. That’s silly, who in the world can run five miles in thirty seconds?

Olive Garden restaurants announced Thursday they’ve installed computers with WiFi at all the tables in their restaurants. Not all change is good. Violin players used to play in Italian restaurants to set a romantic mood, now the violins are just the background music for the porn you decide to select.

The Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland went back online after two years of refitting Tuesday following its discovery of the God particle. It now has higher energy capacity to destroy larger atoms. It has allowed scientists to discover that protons have mass, and nobody even knew they were Catholic.

Bruce Jenner appeared for an interview on ABC’s Prime Time

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Friday where he made one of the most courageous confessions ever to the Hollywood community. He looked Diane Sawyer in the eye and admitted that he’s a Republican. Funeral services for his career will be held Friday at Forest Lawn.

Hollywood donors asked to help pay for Bruce Jenner’s upcoming operation after his admission Friday. Only in L.A. is it easier to say that you’re a trans-sexual than a Republican. The donors think if they can convince Bruce to have the reverse procedure surgery, it will turn him back into a Democrat.

ABC Prime Time with Diane Sawyer interviewing Bruce Jenner drew twenty million viewers and rave reviews Friday. He inspired people who may be wired a little differently to come out and become themselves. Baltimore admitted to Diane Sawyer Monday that it is transitioning into a wildlife preserve.

Baltimore street protests against police brutality disintegrated into looting and violence Monday when demonstrators assaulted police and started looting businesses. Leaders respected by the local community tried to calm everybody down. Bill Cosby urged the rioters to relax, lie down and drink this.

Baltimore broke out into violence Monday as angry young protestors threw bottles and rocks at the police before they turned onto local businesses The rioting just points out that 3-D entertainment isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Once you get everything set up, you realize you forgot to rob the glasses.

On the Docket: Improving juvenile justice in America Each night of the week, around 60,000 young people’s heads hit the pillows in a juvenile detention facility. In communities across America, these youth are in state custody for committing offenses that have brought them into the juvenile justice system.

Sometimes detention is necessary. But it can often be better to try to resolve the problems that bring at-risk youth to the local courthouse door for adjudication in the first place. Countless court officers, attorneys, youth advocates, educators, allied professionals and foster families at the state and local levels seek to steer young people away from unlawful misconduct and harmful behaviors toward better life choices. A network of social and legal services exists to help at-risk youth finish school and make positive contributions to their neighborhoods and communities.

For the last 40 or so years, the federal government, through the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA), has provided guidelines and resources to help the states serve troubled adolescents in their local communities.

The 1974 federal law provides juvenile justice dollars to states and sets four core requirements for those who choose to participate in this federal grant program.

Participation in the JJDPA’s state formula grant program generally provides each participating state a minimum of $325,000 per year to help fund the development of more effective juvenile justice programs and systems. This funding is supposed to be conditioned on each participating state’s compliance with four core criteria, which include: • avoid detaining status offenders, defined as minors who commit offenses – such as skipping school, running away from home or breaking curfew, alcohol and tobacco laws – that would not get them jailed as adults; • keep many juveniles out of adult facilities; • keep minors out of “sight and sound” of incarcerated adults; and, • reduce the disproportionate contact of minority youth with the juvenile justice system.

U.S. Senate Charles Grassley Republican

For violent offenders, jail time is a necessary tool to protect public safety and hold lawbreakers accountable. For less serious offenders, some states are taking the innovative approach of enrolling youth in community-based supervision and substance abuse treatment programs rather than detention facilities. Research suggests that such alternatives to detention can yield effective results that help steer these juvenile offenders away from a life of crime.

For generations, teenagers have tested the boundaries as they mature through adolescence. Joining gangs, using illegal drugs and pursuing other risky behaviors are the result of poor choices that make it even harder for at-risk youth to climb the ladder of opportunity.

It’s in society’s best interest to steer at-risk kids onto the right path and stay the course. Policymakers need to balance public safety with society’s expectation that the next generation will become productive, law-abiding citizens.

Since Congress last renewed the law more than a dozen years ago, there is evidence that a few provisions need to be strengthened. For example, whistleblowers have reported the Justice Department has failed to hold states accountable for failing to meet the requirements in the law for receiving federal money. After I wrote four letters to the department concerning this allegation, the department admitted to having in place since 1997 a compliance monitoring policy that allowed states to receive grants in violation of funding requirements.

Congress bears constitutional authority over the federal purse strings. And when Congress disburses tax dollars, I try to follow the trail to make sure tax dollars are spent as intended. Juvenile justice dollars disbursed under Title II Formula Grants are not an entitlement. By law, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency is required to cut the state’s funding by

20 percent for the following year, for each core requirement that a state violates in the previous year.

As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I have put reform and renewal of the juvenile justice law on the committee’s docket. My committee conducted a congressional hearing in April. Witness testimony recounted violations of law, mismanagement and waste of limited juvenile justice grant funds, in addition to retaliation against whistleblowers.

That’s an injustice to taxpayers and the children and youth who face inadequate juvenile justice systems in their home states. It’s also an injustice to the kids who end up in the juvenile justice system as a result of a poor experience in the foster care system, another area I’m working to improve, as the co-chairman of the Caucus on Foster Youth. As National Foster Care Month, May is an opportunity to recognize the intersection of juvenile justice and foster care.

For these reasons, I am advancing bipartisan juvenile justice legislation with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island with stronger oversight and accountability provisions. In addition, our bill would: • boost the core protections for youth in the juvenile justice system; • improve conditions for detained juveniles; • incorporate new science on adolescent development; • increase transparency and reporting requirements by detention facilities; and, • help ensure incarcerated minors will continue pursuing their education.

Shortcomings in the juvenile justice system won’t be solved overnight. I look forward to taking the lead on bipartisan solutions in the 114th Congress that will make measurable improvements to help make a difference in the lives of troubled youth. Raising visibility on this issue and raising the bar of expectations for young people are the right steps to take to help our next generation lead productive, prosperous lives in American society.

BUSINESS/FARM Creston FFA Chapter named one of Iowa’s best at state leadership conference Thirty-three Creston FFA members, along with adviser Kelsey Bailey, and chaperone Shelly Parsons, were among the more than 5,200 members and guests who attended the recently completed 87th annual State FFA Leadership Conference April 20-21 in Ames.

The Creston FFA Chapter’s tradition of excellence continued when the local FFA chapter was again recognized as one of the elite programs in the state of Iowa during the 2015 State FFA Leadership Conference proceedings held in Hilton Coliseum on the campus of Iowa State University.

The Creston FFA Chapter placed in the state’s National Chapter Award competition earning a gold emblem award and recognized with the Supreme National Chapter award. The chapter’s application will advance to national competition this fall.

In addition, the chapter was also recognized as the state winning community development chapter in the area of environmental development.

Creston FFA was busy with leadership contests while attending the confer-

ence. Paige Parsons participated in the state level creed speaking career development event earning a bronze award. The agriculture marketing team earned a bronze emblem; the team was made of Nicole Haley, Morgan Shawler and Taylor Sorrells. The farm business management team made of Kyle Jennett, Jake Miller, Logan Pettit and Jacob Powers earned a silver rating at state. Two freshman members, MyKenna Hribal and Kayla Luther, earned a silver emblem for the greenhand quiz contest. The team agriculture sales CDE earned a silver emblem; members participating included, Darin Hatfield, Wyatt Thompson, Zach Hoffman and Dillon Bailey. The chapter display earned a bronze emblem; Becca Ross, Mitchel Swank, and Jordan Moreland created this year’s state chapter display.

Members participated in two new contests this year, biotechnology and poultry evaluation. The biotechnology team consisted of Chad Lamb, Tyson Tucker, Kaden Wilson and Will Gordon; they earned a bronze emblem. The poultry evalua-

tion team consisted of Madison Skarda, Mattie Wheeler, Macy Evans and Tyler Waddingham; the team earned a silver emblem.

Individual FFA members were recognized and awarded for their outstanding leadership, SAE projects and classroom achievement.

Brooke Thelen was named the state winning proficiency in equine science entrepreneurship; her proficiency has advanced to the national level. Thelen has an outstanding equine training and lessons business, as well as competes in many barrel-racing events, all of which she documents as her SAE in her record book.

Eight local FFA members were awarded the Iowa FFA Degree during the convention proceedings. This degree is the highest honor the Iowa FFA Association bestows upon its membership. Recipients of this honor must put forth great effort through involvement in course work, leadership and SAE achievement. Those earning their Iowa FFA Degrees include, Gracie Russell, Caitlin McIlravy, Zach Hoffman, Wyatt Thompson, Darrian Fischer, Emily Gravlin, Maria Mostek and

Cornerstone Financial Group announces new adviser, enhanced retirement planning services Cornerstone Financial Group (CFG), a local business with offices in Creston and West Des Moines, has been quietly helping its clients pursue their financial goals for over a quarter of a century.

As part of the growth and evolution of Cornerstone Financial Group, the firm has brought on board servicing adviser Jeremy Lyons. Lyons is a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC) with a thorough understanding of investments and a knack for investment research and analysis. He has been advising clients since 2007 and is a graduate of Iowa State University.

“Jeremy I feel is the best choice to help expand Cornerstone Financial Group in the coming years,” said Mike Moffitt, owner and president of CFG. “He’s been really well accepted by those clients who have had the opportunity to meet him.

Jeremy will be based out of the West Des Moines office location, but will also be spending time in Creston to meet with clients in this area.

The addition of Mr. Lyons to the staff is a key aspect to the firm’s ability to provide top notch customer service as it experiences continued growth.”

The addition to staff isn’t the only change Cornerstone Financial Group has made as of late. In order to stay competitive within this highly regulated and tech savvy industry, CFG has subscribed to services that allow clients to partner with their adviser and view the probability of achieving their retirement goals in the future. Clients describe their desired income after retirement and their financial obligations, travel plans, insurance and health needs etc., then provide their retirement income sources.

When all variables are im-

ported and entered by a client’s CFG servicing adviser, the program can then assist in determining the client’s probability of success. If a client is not within the success range, their adviser and the program will make suggestions that can make the likelihood of success more probable. This allows clients to take a more proactive approach to their retirement.

Another separate program assesses an individual’s risk tolerance for investing. Clients describe their risk tolerance by answering a series of questions, and the individual’s portfolio is imported and analyzed to determine if their current portfolio risk level matches their preferences.

Choosing the right Social Security option can also be vital to retirement success. It is one of the most important tenets of financial planning for those nearing retirement.

CFG’s Social Security calcu-

lator is a popular program used to assist its clients.

CFG servicing advisers can explain the different Social Security options and help guide a client in choosing the option which best suits their retirement goals.

These are only a few examples of the services available to Cornerstone Financial Group clients. CFG has educated individuals and business owners since 1987 on the sound principals of asset management, tax strategies, income planning, estate planning and institutional style investing.

Securities offered through LPL Financial. Member FINRA/SIPC. Investment advice offered through Advantage Investment Management, LLC (AIM), a registered investment advisor. AIM and Cornerstone Financial Group (CFG) are separate entities from LPL Financial.

Such meals will be shipped throughout the world and domestically to aid in fighting the global food insecurity epidemic. The Creston FFA Chapter was assigned the duty to assist in the clean up and load out of the 260,000 meals. Creston FFA members look forward to helping with the annual project.

“I like helping with Meals

B&B

from the Heartland, it makes you feel good to know you are helping others,” Chad Lamb said.

Other member involvement saw Brooke Thelen and Savannah Hartman serve as state delegates voting on all official business and state officer elections.

Different name, still the same Dear Heloise: Is a pot with a crock insert the same thing as a SLOW COOKER? — Charlotte, via email Yes, it is. However, most folks call a pot with a crock insert by its brand name, which is on your mind right now, I’m sure. That name is trademarked, thus my having to dance around without using the brand name! Companies do have to be diligent in protecting trademarks. Here’s a challenge for you: Can you name a facial tissue? Paper towel? Moving stairs? Cat-box deodorizer? — Heloise EASY FIND AND CLEANUP Dear Heloise: I purchased a refrigerator that is the right size for me. However, it was becoming annoying to dig around trying to find leftovers, etc. I decided to try using turntables. I bought 18-inch and 12-inch turntables. I use one on the middle rack, and it stores large jars and most leftovers. The smaller turntable is on the top shelf to hold jam, jellies, condiments, etc. Now everything is easy to see and easy to reach. If you use this, please sign me “Dude, NorCal.” Hey, Dude! (“Hey Jude” — are you humming the song?

Hints from Heloise I am.) We think alike. I have turntables in our refrigerators.

It’s easy to find a jar of relish, mustard, pickled mushrooms, etc., and it helps keep the shelf clean. Please write again! — Heloise REMOVING SLICES Dear Heloise: I just read your column about a reader having trouble removing pie slices from the pie pan. I saw this on a cooking show: If the pan is a tinfoil type, take shears and cut into the side in two places. Cut the pan as far as you can, then fold it down.

You should be able to get a pie server in to take out the first slice. The next slices should be easy to get out. Hope this helps the reader. — JoAnn F., Lincoln, Calif.

com COOLING RACK Dear Heloise: I seldom bake, and my kitchen is very tiny. I do not have a cooling rack. Usually, when I take something hot from the oven, I lay two table knives on the counter, one pointing in each direction. Then I set the hot pan on it to cool. Works well.

Recently, all my table knives were in the sink to be washed. I thought, “Now what do I do?” I opened my cupboards and took out four cans of fruit, set them on the counter and put the hot pan on them. A great idea! — Frances H., Kane, Pa. Sounds like a plan, and one that can be used by all! — Heloise MICROWAVE TRAY BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker Dear Heloise: When I replace a microwave with a new one, I keep the rotating glass tray. Having a spare means I can swap trays quickly in the event of food spills. The dirty one goes in the dishwasher.

No food stuck on the bottom of later meals. No smell of burned food. No scraping burned food off the original tray. — Catherine H., Salem, Ore. (c)2015 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

hether she’s your mom or a “like-a-mother” mentor, chances are you’ve got a lot to thank her for this Mother’s Day. It’s a time for celebrating your biggest supporters, number one fans and best friends.

In life, we’re lucky to form relationships with women we can learn from and grow with. Beth Somers, Elizabeth Nelson and Emily Tatak from the Wilton Test Kitchen consider themselves lucky.

Beth Somers, Director of Creative Content Development, owes her start to her former boss Milette Raz. Raz is trained in the Wilton Method of Cake DecoratingTM and taught Somers how to decorate. But Somers thinks of Raz as so much more — calling her a mentor, her second mother and her friend.

Years after working together, the duo teamed up for Cupcake Wars on the Food Network, returning home as champions of season six with winning recipes like Tropical Getaway Cupcakes.

Elizabeth Nelson, Assistant Culinary Specialist, attributes her love of baking to her grandma Ann, learning the basics with her and picking up passed down recipes that she brought with her to college. She looks up to her mother, her grandmother and her great-grandmother, whom she’s told she also gets her competitive nature from. Nelson and her grandmother went through a lot of trial and error together to come up with what they believe is the perfect cinnamon roll recipe, very similar to this recipe for Cinnamon Rolls with Caramel Glaze.

For Emily Tatak, preserving family recipes and continuing the traditions around the holidays and in the kitchen led to her career at Wilton as an Assistant Culinary Specialist. She owes her inspiration to her mom, who taught her how to bake. Together they iced cakes, decorated sugar cookies and even made a gingerbread house from scratch. Keeping with tradition, celebrating the holidays without grandma Irene’s Kolachy recipe just wouldn’t be the same.

what’s cookin’ in mexican burgers We love guacamole at our house, so if you love it too, then these burgers are for you. They have a blend of Mexican spices topped with guacamole which has fresh sweet corn added that compliments the heat from the jalapeno. It is best to use fresh sweet corn when it is in season in late summer. I also cut back on the amount of meat as we didn’t need to have 1/2 pound burgers per person. Smakelijk eten!

chorizo burgers with sweet corn guacamole 1 lb. fresh Mexican chorizo, casings removed, crumbled - I used a 1/2 lb. of mild sausage 1 lb. ground pork, beef or turkey - I used 3/4 lb. 93% lean ground beef 2 - 3 Tbsp. grated yellow onion with the juice 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce - I used 1 Tbsp.

1 tsp. cumin - I used 1/2 tsp.

Salt and pepper canola oil, for drizzling 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion 1 large jalapeno chile pepper, chopped 1 lemon or lime, juice (about 2 tbsp.)

1 ripe avocado 1 ear fresh sweet corn, kernels scraped from cob 2 Tbsp. finely chopped cilantro 1 clove garlic, grated or pasted 4 cornmeal-dusted kaiser rolls, split 4 large lettuce leaves 1 large tomato, sliced A couple handfuls white-or blue-corn tortilla chips - I used Multi-grain Sweet Potato Tortilla Chips, really any tortilla chip will do!

Heat a grill or griddle pan over medium-high.

In a large bowl, combine the crumbled chorizo, ground meat, grated yellow onion and juice, Worcestershire sauce and cumin; season with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into 4 patties (thinner at the center for even cooking). Drizzle the patties with the oil.

In a medium bowl, combine the red onion, jalapeno and lemon juice. Season liberally with salt and let stand 10 minutes. Mash in the avocado, then stir in the corn, cilantro and garlic.

Add the patties to the grill and cook, turning once, until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Divide the patties among the roll bottoms. Add the lettuce, tomato, chips, guacamole and roll tops.

Grandma’s Kolachy Cookies Servings: 6 1/2 dozen cookies 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon Wilton Pure Vanilla Extract 1/2 teaspoon salt Poppy seed, apricot and strawberry pastry filling Confectioners’ sugar,for dusting In large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter with electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Add flour, vanilla and salt; beat until just combined. Divide dough into 2 disks. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill at least 12 hours.

Heat oven to 375°F. Working with 1 disk at a time, roll each to 1/8-inch thickness on generously floured surface. Cut cookies using 2-inch round cutter. Place on cookie sheet and make indentation in dough with thumb. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon pastry filling into each indentation.

Bake 16–18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool cookies on pan on cooling grid 5 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on grid. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving.

Emotions run high in Panthers’ 2-0 victory

National Digest

Rockets clinch HOUSTON (AP) — James Harden’s message was simple and clear after the Houston Rockets’ first playoff series victory since 2009.

“It’s just the beginning,” the bearded superstar said. “We’ve got bigger goals than this.”

Harden scored 28 points, Terrence Jones had 10 of his 15 in the fourth quarter, and the Rockets beat the Dallas Mavericks 103-94 on Tuesday night to get out of the first round and exorcise any bad feelings that lingered from last year’s opening-round loss to Portland.

Houston won the Western Conference series 4-1 to advance to face the winner of the Clippers-Spurs series in the second round.

The Rockets bounced back from a lackluster performance in a 121-109 loss in Game 4 to head to the West semifinals for the first time since Yao Ming starred for Houston.

Creston scored a goal early in each half to secure a 2-0 boys soccer victory over Lewis Central here Tuesday night.

But the Panthers not only had to overcome a competitive opponent, but also some high emotions both on the field and the sidelines.

Lewis Central was issued three yellow cards, while Creston received one in the first half, and four fans were ejected after an exchange between an LC player and fans with 12 minutes to play.

During a physical scramble for the ball along the north sideline, where fans are seated at the north soccer field near Creston Elementary/Middle School, a Creston fan reportedly yelled “Hey!” about a

perceived shove against a Creston player.

“Shut up, white trash!” the Titan player reportedly responded, according to the lead official’s report to both coaches.

“I can’t control what the fans say, but I can control what the players say, and he’s getting a yellow card,” the official said to LC coach Daniel Gulden.

Four fans total — two from each team’s fan base — were asked to leave the premises by the official, with athletic director Jeff Bevins carrying out those instructions.

Moments later, after a foul was assessed against an LC player for running into Panther forward Conner Pals, the player tapped Pals on the head. Creston coaches vehemently protested that action should be taken against the

Titan player.

Meanwhile, Creston coach Jesus Rodriguez said Pals and the rest of his veteran team showed restraint and discipline in successfully playing with the two-goal lead and finishing the victory in a proper manner.

“I’m glad our guys kept their heads,” Rodriguez said.

“They were a better team than Atlantic, but it seemed like they came out hitting and taunting our players. I told our seniors at halftime, you need to be smart, and keep taking it to them with our style of play. Keep your heads. I tell our guys from day one, don’t get involved with the fans, don’t get involved with the refs. They’re disciplined about that.”

No crowd BALTIMORE (AP) — After a pair of postponements caused by rioting in Baltimore, the Orioles and Chicago White Sox will play Wednesday at Camden Yards in what is believed to be the first game without fans in major league baseball’s 145-season history.

Because of the unsettled environment in Baltimore, where rioters burned a drug store and set police cars ablaze on Monday night, officials moved the game up five hours from its original 7:05 p.m. starting time and closed it to the public.

In addition, Baltimore’s Friday-to-Sunday series against Tampa Bay was shifted from Camden Yards to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, with the Orioles remaining the home team and batting last.

“All of the decisions in Baltimore were driven first by the desire to insure the safety of fans, players, umpires and stadium workers,” Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred wrote in an email to The Associated Press. “Only after we were comfortable that those concerns had been addressed did we consider competitive issues and the integrity of the schedule.”

Panther girls blow away competition at Chariton

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

CHARITON — Tuesday was a night of firsts and a night of milestones for the Creston girls track team.

For the first time in the Arnold five-year regime, the Panther girls scored points in every event of the night. The Panthers also scored the most team points in the Arnold era, and it was the first time the Panthers won a 4x100 relay in the Arnold era.

Needless to say, head coach Clay Arnold had plenty to be happy about after his team racked up 195.5 points to win the Lady Charger Relays by a whopping 65.5 points over Davis County.

“This was the best one yet,” he said. “We just continue to amaze all the way around.”

In addition, the Panthers doubled up points in every individual event on the track.

Arnold said there were plenty of highlights Tuesday night, but three of the biggest highlights were Hannah Hood in the shot put, Lexie Little in the 400 meter hurdles and the 4x100 relay team.

Hood had broken the school record in the shot put twice already this season, and m a d e a n o t h e r Hood major improvement Tuesday night.

“Well in eighth grade, the 37-foot throw she had was in Chariton, so I guess she decided this was her lucky place,” Arnold said.

“Her second throw, she threw 37-1, which broke her record from last meet by about 4 inches.”

Then, on her third throw of the night, Hood released a 39-1.50, which was good enough to place her second behind Davis County’s Drake Relays placewinner Kate Birchmier.

“The second it left her hand, I said, ‘oh goodness!’” Arnold said. “It landed out there next to the 40-foot mark. It was one of the most beautiful throws I’ve seen in my life.”

Hood also threw a PR of 102-8 in the discus to place third.

Little also made a major improvement in the 400 meter hurdles.

C o m ing into Tuesd a y ’ s Little meet, her best time in the race was 1:14.

Little blasted a 1:09.71 to win by 1.55 seconds.

“There were tons and tons of bright spots, but in the running for most impressive things we’ve seen all year was Lexie in the 400 hurdles,” Arnold said.

“She goes out and runs a 69.71 and wins it going away. Absolutely incredible. We haven’t had anyone even close to being under 70 since Audrey Bolinger, and she won a state title.”

Adding even more excitement to the night for Arnold was his program’s first ever win in a 4x100 relay.

The relay team of Rachel Shepherd, Amber Castillo, Kiersten Latham, and Josie Sickels ran a season’s best time of 52.28.

“We’ve never once ever, no matter what meet we’ve been to won a 4x100 relay,” Arnold said. “This was a season’s best time for us.

Shorthanded Panthers win medley at Carlisle

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

CARLISLE — Down to just 11 athletes here Tuesday for the Wildcat Relays, the Creston boys track team had to pick and choose its events.

Head coach Pat Schlapia decided to mix things up a bit and loaded up the 1,600 medley relay with the hopes of giving the 2001 school record of 3:36.77 a run.

The Panther relay team of Chris Foster, Seth Maitlen, Bryce Briley and Jay Wolfe did just that, providing the Panthers with their only victory of the night, as Creston finished 11th in the 14-team field with 24 team points.

Creston’s medley team ran 3:37.89, putting it within 1.12 seconds of the school record, beating the rest of Tuesday’s field by more than 8 seconds.

“One of the goals was to shoot for the school record,” Schlapia said.

“In our 200 legs, we were wanting to be around that 49-second mark, and they were.”

Foster split a 25.28 on the opening leg, while Maitlen ran 24.26 in the second leg. Briley split 50.03 in the 400-meter leg and Wolfe anchored in a 1:57.87.

“We were never really challenged in that,” Schlapia said. “We basically broke contact with that 400

leg. Those guys had a nice night with that medley.”

The Panthers placed in only one other event Tuesday, as Wolfe and Briley finished second and third in the 400 meter dash behind Carlisle’s Tyrell Erb, who will run at Iowa State University next year.

Erb ran 50.08 for the victory, with Wolfe running 50.41 and Briley clocking a 51.62.

Winterset’s Nick Nelson ran a 51.83 for Wolfe fourth place, making a close race among the top four.

“Those are both season’s bests for Jay and Bryce,” Schlapia said. “That was quite a race with Jay and Bryce being in the same heat and going up against the Erb kid from Carlisle.”

Though sophomore C o d y Tanner missed out on scoring points in the discus, his 10thTanner p l a c e throw of 116-6 was a new season’s best.

No. 12 Titans roll past Panther girls, 10-0

CHAMPS: Continued from page 8A

Those four girls have done a great job whittling it down.

Kiersten ran an awesome turn in the third leg. I knew it was going to come down to a handoff, because Davis County was coming for us.

We executed to perfection that handoff from Latham to Josie.”

The Panthers put on display Tuesday night the sprinting depth Arnold said his team would have at the beginning of the year.

Along with winning the 4x100 relay, the Panthers won the sprint medley relay and ran a good 4x200 relay.

The Panthers displayed plenty of depth in the distance events, as well.

Senior Maria Mostek pulled off the distance double, winning both the 3,000 meters and the 1,500 meters. Ju- M. Mostek nior teammate Jessica Beatty took second in the 1,500 meters.

The 4x800 relay team of Breanna Wallace, Jami Sickels, Taylor Briley and Natalie Mostek won, as Mostek ran a 2:24.92 anchor leg.

Natalie Mostek cruised to the win in the 800 meters, running a season’s best time of 2:25.62. Jami Sickels took third in the event.

The Panthers finished first and second in the 400 meter dash for the second straight meet, as Briley won in 1:02.35 and Raegen Smith took second in 1:03.28.

Smith finished second in the 200 meter dash with a PR of 28.19, while Cayla Maitlen finished third in 28.52.

“I really couldn’t be happier,” Arnold said. “Seems like every night girls are going out trying to one-up themselves, one-up everyone else. That’s what it’s all about. Every night is an open audition, trying to figure out what our best combinations are for conference next week.”

The Panthers travel to Carlisle on Thursday, with events at 4:45 p.m.

Small Class Mount Ayr finished second in the small class with 159 points, behind champion Wayne’s 200.5 points.

By LARRY PETERSON

East Union finished sixth overall.

The Raiderettes won a total of three events for the evening. Senior Katie Holmes won the discus with a throw of 97-4. Freshman Alyssa Johnson won the 100 meter hurdles in 16.67.

The distance medley relay team of Megan Warin, Laura Davison, Macy Larsen and Blair Glendenning won by 11 seconds, running 4:46.80.

Mount Ayr freshman Bailey Anderson had a strong showing, finishing third in the 100 meter dash, fourth in Anderson the 200 meter dash and second in the 400 meter dash.

Also recording season’s bests for the Panthers Tuesday were freshmen Trey Gift in the 3,200 meters and Dalten Bierle in the 800 meters. Gift ran 12:51.38 and Bierle clocked a 2:17.09.

“With our quality we have in that upper class, we’re still growing with our young pups,” Schlapia said. “It’s important to be patient with them. When you get into a meet like this, that’s where you see a big difference in physical maturity. In a meet like this, depth is very important to a team, and depth is something we don’t have.”

The Panthers return to action Friday at Red Oak, with both the varsity and JV being in action. Events begin at 5 p.m.

“This is the time now we want to get all our bases covered,” Schlapia said. “This is a time we need to step up. We aim to be peaking when we hit

the month of May. That’s very important to us right now. We want to hit the ground running once May hits.”

Lewis Central brought waves of fresh players at Creston here Tuesday, often substituting six to eight players at a time, in breaking away to a 10-0 victory over the Panthers.

The match was halted with 11 minutes left on the mercy rule used by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union (margin of 10 goals).

Lewis Central, ranked eighth in the state in Class 2A, improved to 4-0 in the Hawkeye 10 and 6-1 overall.

Creston fell to 0-5 ad 0-8, yet held the powerful Titans scoreless for a 20-minute stretch of the first half.

That’s when Danielle Petersen gave LC a 2-0 lead after 21:50 had been played, and by halftime the margin grew to 4-0 as sophomore Kelsey McSorely scored three of the Titan goals.

The Titans went eight minutes without scoring to start the second half, but then came the wave of six goals in a span of 11 minutes that ended the match. The Titans, who have outscored opponents 37-2 this season, did not allow a Creston shot on goal in the match.

“It’s not a shock to get beat by the mercy rule to this team, they’re very good,” said Creston coach Kim Lauffer, “but the reality is that we played much better against Nodaway Valley, holding a good team to 3-0. My goal was to play as far into the second half as possible, and they did fight pretty far into the game.”

Creston freshman Kalan Bloodgood (3) defends the attack of Lewis Central forward Kelsey McSorley, who had three first-half goals in the Titans’ 10-0 mercy rule victory.

Now comes an opportunity in a return matchup at Oakland Riverside Friday in a 5 p.m. varsity match, after losing to the Bulldogs at home last week, 3-1.

“First time, lack of covering hurt us on the defensive end,” Lauffer said. “We were watching the person pressuring the ball and not covering the girl in their space who is a threat to score. They got two of their three goals that way. Hopefully we’ll put it together Friday.”

Shelby Palser, who scored Creston’s only goal against

Riverside in the first match, split time in goal Tuesday after starting goalkeeper Taquana Williams took a hard shot in the face and experienced some eye problems in sitting out the rest of the night. Her status for Friday was uncertain as of Tuesday night.

Panther girls tennis wins at Indianola

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

INDIANOLA — Creston girls defeated Indianola 7-4 in nonconference tennis action Tuesday at Simpson College.

The Panthers won five of the six singles matches before going 2-3 in doubles play in the best-of-11 format. Creston improved to 4-1 for the season.

“I’m really proud of the girls tonight,” said Creston assistant coach Amanda Plymale. “We battled with a team who was evenly matched with us. Playing two out of three sets for the first time this season in the heat was a bit challenging for us, but we powered through. I am impressed with our girls when they get down, they don’t ever let up the intensity. Sydney Dunphy powered t h r o u g h Dunphy two threeset matches, both ending in victory.”

The Panthers host Shenandoah on Thursday and travel to the Knoxville tournament on Friday.

PANTHERS: Continued from page 8A

Rodriguez said LC appeared to be frustrated, in the midst of a 1-7 season, after just one victory last year, and 1-2 in the Hawkeye 10.

“They’re losing a lot of matches again and getting frustrated,” Rodriguez said.

“In our first season, when we were losing and not so well focused on what we’re doing, maybe we respond differently tonight. I told the guys, when you’re winning, that’s why they’re doing it. Just keep playing.”

Only 90 seconds had been played when Creston first grabbed the lead. McClain Haines assisted a goal by Gavin Woods.

The Panther girls travel to Chariton on Thursday, with play beginning at 4 p.m.

Boys Meanwhile, at Atlantic Golf and Country Club, the Panther boys came up on the wrong end of a 154-155 match.

“Great day for golf,” Creston/O-M assistant coach Jon Thomson said. “Couldn’t ask for anything better. The golfing was good and the kids shot

Creston a penalty kick opportunity later in the half, but Conner Pals sent a booming shot above the cross bar and a physical first half ended at 1-0.

Then, again in the first minute of the second half, Haines converted on a shot that went between goalkeeper Bailey Walker’s legs off a t h r o w - i n Haines from Kaleb Cook.

The rest of the 39 minutes of play resulted in no scoring, although the Panthers had a huge edge in opportunities with 23 total shots, including 12 on goal. On the other

well. Atlantic boys just shot one stroke better.”

Atlantic’s Ben Renaud won medalist honors with his round of 34 and Creston/O-M senior Coleton Hoepker shot a 37 to finish as runner-up.

Renaud’s low round was the biggest difference between the two teams, as Creston/O-M held a two-stroke advantage over the Trojans at the second through fourth positions.

Sophomore Kyle Somers carded a 38 for the Panthers and senior Christian Groumoutis shot a 39. Senior Sam

end, Creston goalkeeper Alex Nielsen had only two saves in the shutout victory.

“Our defense played exceptional, much better than last night,” Rodriguez said, referring to Monday’s 5-3 win over Atlantic. “We got the rusty touches out of our system last night. Offensively, we could have had a couple more goals on breakaways and a PK. We’ll continue to work on our shooting.”

Creston improved to 4-0 in the Hawkeye 10 and 6-3 overall. The only other league unbeaten is Carroll Kuemper, which topped Glenwood 2-0.

Glenwood visits Creston on Thursday. Coach Rodriguez has never guided his team to victory over the Rams in his four years here.

Hartsock rounded out the team scoring with a 41.

“The boys still came away feeling good about their day,” Thomson said. “Did we leave some strokes out there? Yes. Do we know what we need to work on? Yes. We still walked away feeling good.”

The Panther boys host Red Oak at 4:30 p.m. Monday in their next action.

“Between regular season and districts, we’re probably 0-6 against them,” he said. “They may not be as strong as some years, but that doesn’t mean they won’t want to come at us. If we can win this next one, that would be a huge game against Kuemper (May 12 at Carroll).”

SWCC drill team adds two more from CHS The Southwestern Community College (SWCC) Dazzlers dance team has added two more student-athletes from Creston High School (CHS) for the 2015-16 dance season. Brenna Baker and Maddie Skarda, both seniors at CHS, committed to the SWCC Dazzlers late last week.

Baker and Skarda join fellow CHS Panthers Marie Hood and Raegen Smith, who signed with the Dazzlers in early April.

During high school, Baker has lettered in softball for five years, dance team for four years, volleyball for three years, basketball for four years, and soccer for two years. She received all-conference honors both years in soccer. Academically, she is a member of the National Honor Society, has been on the honor roll all four years, and participates in student government. She is vice president of her senior class. She is the daughter of Brad and Becky Baker of Creston.

Skarda has lettered in cross country for four years, dance team for two years, and track for two years.

She has been on the honor roll all four years of high school and is the president of the senior class. She is the daughter of Ron and Mindy Skarda of Afton.
