New Gibson Memorial Library website live

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

Gibson Memorial Library’s new website is live and ready for browsing.

View the website at www.crestonpubliclibrary.com. The site — built by Websites to Impress in Carroll —is much cleaner, more attractive and functional than the library’s former website.

“It’s an experience now instead of a list of links,” said Mandy Houk, marketing consultant for the library board. “Feel free to check it out.”

Among others, the new website has links on the homepage for genealogical resources for those interested in uncovering their Houk heritage, library catalog allowing you to search the library’s inventory for your favorite book and information on how donating your Hy-Vee receipts can help generate funds for the library.

You can also view the new website using these two URLs: www.

crestonarealibrary.com and www. gibsonmemoriallibrary.com.

This new website comes as the library board begins work with an architectural firm (FEH Associates of Des Moines) on the expansion of the current library building on West Howard Street.

FEH has managed more than 100 library projects in the past 20 years.

The library board does plan to use the website and their Facebook page to provide information on the building project.

The best burger in Iowa has been crowned for 2015, but the title is not coming

home to Creston.

The Cider House in Fairfield took top honors in Iowa’s Best Burger Contest put on by Iowa Cattleman’s Association and the Iowa Beef Industry Council.

This is the sixth year for the contest and the third year in a row Elm’s Club, 108 N. Elm St., has made the top 10.

“It is a lot of fun just to be involved in the contest,”

said Elm’s Club co-owner Donna King. “It generates some new customers for us and it really makes us appreciate our customers and staff.”

More than 4,000 votes were submitted, nominating 286 restaurants in February and March. The top 10 were visited by unanimous judges and critiqued on the hamburger’s taste, appearance, and proper

Conditions allow for planting last week DES MOINES (AP) — Ideal weather last week enabled Iowa farmers to make progress planting their corn and soybean crops. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says as of Sunday, farmers had planted 68 percent of the state’s corn crop and 11 percent of the soybean crop. Both figures are better than the five-year average. The USDA says 84 percent of farmland had adequate topsoil moisture, with 11 percent short and 5 percent in surplus.Farmers reported 82 percent of subsoil moisture was adequate.

The state agriculture department says half of Iowa’s corn acreage was planted last week.

Nepal shuts airport to big jets; more bodies found

Deaths Carl Riley La Mesa, Calif.

Carl Riley, 86, of La Mesa, CA, died April 30, 2015, at Lake Murray Terrace, La Mesa CA. Funeral services will be 2 p.m. May 7 at the El Cajon Mortuary in El Cajon, CA. Carl’s ashes will later be interned in his family plot at the Graceland Cemetery in Creston. Condolences may be sent to Darlene Riley at 8611 Lemon Ave. #9, La Mesa, CA, 91941.

Carl Edward Riley, son of Clara and Clyde, was born August 25, 1928, in rural Mercer Center.

Carl was born and grew up on the Riley Family home place in Mercer Center of Pottawattamie County, attending a oneroom school just down the road from the Riley Farm.

The family later moved, purchasing land in Diagonal. After graduation from Creston High School in 1946, Carl purchased two additional pieces of land a mile from his parent’s place where he loved and enjoyed farming.

On July 24, 1965, Carl married Darlene in the Little Brown Church of

poverished country’s biggest and most destructive in eight decades.

Nepal’s geography of high mountains and difficult road networks “is always going to be a challenge,” McGoldrick said.

Airlifting goods by helicopter “right now is quite limited,” he said.

People in Nepal — both in remote villages and the capital, Kathmandu — have complained about not seeing any rescue workers or international aid and about a lack of temporary shelters, with many sleeping out in the open because of fears of aftershocks bringing down their damaged homes.

U.N. humanitarian officials said that they were increasingly worried about the spread of disease. They said more helicopters were needed to reach isolated mountain villages that were hard to access even before the quake.

The true extent of the damage from the earthquake is still unknown as reports keep filtering in from remote areas, some of which remain entirely cut off. The U.N. says the quake affected 8.1 million

people — more than a quarter of Nepal’s 28 million people.

Laxi Dhakal, a Home Ministry official, said hopes of finding survivors had faded dramatically.

“Unless they were caught in an air pocket, there is not much possibility,” he said.

Among the latest fatalities to be counted were the 51 people, including six foreigners, whose remains were found in the Langtang Valley in Rasuwa district, nearly 60 kilometers (35 miles) north of Kathmandu. Most of the victims were Nepalese guides, hotel owners, workers and porters.

The area, with a dozen inns near the trekking trail, was buried by a landslide after the earthquake.

Nepal has been shaken by more than 70 aftershocks following the quake, and its people remain on edge.

One brief aftershock Saturday afternoon shook the only paved road in the village of Pauwathok. Residents screamed and began to run, then stopped when the tremor eased.

The small village is located in the district of Sindupalchok, where more deaths have been recorded than anywhere else in Nepal — 2,560, compared to 1,622 in Kathmandu. The U.N. says up to 90 percent of the houses in Sindupalchok have been destroyed.

What’s next?

While the title of Iowa’s best burger eluded Creston this year, Elm’s Club is gearing up for the 2015 Best Breaded Pork Tenderloin contest by the Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA).

Forms are available at iowapork.org and in the May issue of the Iowa Pork Pro-

ducer magazine. The deadline for nominations is June 8, 2015.

The top five restaurants with the most nominations from each of the eight IPPA districts will be judged. Representatives of the Iowa pork industry will judge the tenderloins on pork quality, taste, physical characteristics and eating experience.

Elm’s Club earned honorable mention for their breaded pork tenderloin in 2003.

Major impact The U.N. says the quake affected 8.1 million people — more than a quarter of Nepal’s 28 million people.

The death toll climbed to 7,276, including six foreigners and 45 Nepalese found over the weekend on a popular trekking route. cial flights,” said Jamie McGoldrick, the U.N. coordinator for Nepal. “You put on top of that massive relief items coming in, the search and rescue teams that have clogged up this airport. And I think once they put better systems in place, I think that will get better.”

He said the bottlenecks in aid delivery were slowly disappearing, and the Nepalese government eased customs and other bureaucratic hurdles on humanitarian aid following complaints from the U.N. “The government has taken note of some of the concerns that we’ve expressed to them,” he said.

Kai Tabacek, a spokesman for the British charity Oxfam, said the main problem was that Kathmandu airport was too small “to deal with huge volume of traffic. Of course, there have been some delays, but these have more to do with the challenge of moving large volumes of goods than customs.”

Airport congestion was only the latest complication in the global effort to aid people in the wake of the April 25 quake, the im-

Creston News Advertiser Tuesday, May 5, 2015

I was planning to write this column about a bunch of nerdy stuff.

For starters, the new Avengers movie came out Thursday. Then, Saturday was Free Comic Book Day. And yesterday was National Star Wars Day (May the Fourth be with you, my friend).

But then, as I began writing last week, I realized two things.

One, the only one who probably cares to read about how much I love that stuff is me.

And two, Friday was the day of my “official” college graduation.

That second realization took my mind in a completely different direction.

I finished my English degree right before Christmas at Evan-

OPINION Welcome to the real world Ian’s inklings Ian Richardson staff writer

gel University, a small college in Springfield, Mo. Since Evangel holds commencement for the entire year’s graduates in the spring, there was no celebratory sendoff when I left, just an invitation to return in May. I’m not necessarily one for ceremony, so that was okay. However, after I completed my final class, I almost felt like I was sneaking out.

There wasn’t a letter, a handshake or even a photo op with the mas-

cot to say to me, “Hey, congrats, you’re an alumnus now.”

Thus, for a while I had this inexplicable post-grad fear that I had fallen one credit short, or maybe forgotten to attend one of the required courses all semester – like the feeling you get when you can’t remember whether you left a stove burner on after leaving on a road trip. I had handed in my graduation papers, and deep down I knew I was done, but I still couldn’t shake the fear that I’d overlooked something.

Thankfully, I was saved when my diploma eventually arrived in the mail.

As last Friday approached, seeing all my friends’ graduation posts

and tweets caused me to stop and reflect on my 3 ½ years of college life. With too many other things going on during the second half of last week, I unfortunately couldn’t make the trip to Missouri to walk across the stage with my classmates. But my heart was still there.

I thought back to all the late nights spent working on the college newspaper or reading (and re-reading) Faulkner and Shakespeare. I thought of all the laughter, profound discussions and latenight trips to the Taco Bell across the street that I had shared with my friends, and I thought of how I hope those friendships I made in college will continue for a long time.

I also thought of how I used to dream about entering the “real world.” Now here I am. Or, more accurately, I’ve come to realize that I’d been living in the real world the whole time. It’s only my role in it that has changed, and all those classes, discussions and friendships have contributed to who I am today, as well as who I’m still becoming.

To all the high school and college students who are graduating this month, congratulations. Coming from someone who just experienced it, it’s a bittersweet moment.

Know that whether you’re going back for more schooling or not, the “real world” is all around you.

Make the most of it.

Ford Motors recalled hundreds of thousands of Fords HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America and how’s everybody?

Floyd Mayweather’s lawyer said before Saturday’s title fight that if Floyd wins the fight, he’ll put up the bail money to get rap mogul Suge Knight out of jail. It was an attempt to get L.A. rooting for him. Not to be outdone, Manny Pacquiao’s lawyers said if he wins, he’ll pay for Bruce Jenner’s boob job.

Ford Motors recalled hundreds of thousands of Fords Friday because the doors fly open and the steering is completely unreliable.

As well, it’s anything but smooth on the road. The suspension system is so bad the Ford Van has just been named the official van of the Baltimore Police Department.

The Price Is Right hosted by Drew Carey is going to spend a week taping shows in Baltimore to try to show support for the beleaguered city. It promises to be a lot of fun. The contestants will try to come closest to guessing the actual retail price of the merchandise they’ve just looted without going over.

Baltimore state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby filed charges against

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

the six police officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray Friday.

The rioting pointed to a larger national problem. As a nation, we need to provide more job opportunities for the unemployed so they don’t resort to running for president.

Baltimore filed charges against the six cops, citing facts not contained in the Washington Post’s storyline. They’re setting up the re-match. The city will get a billion to rebuild after the rioting over the death of a black man in police custody, but they’ll get ten billion after the rioting over their acquittal.

Michelle Obama made the talk show rounds in New York to push her Healthy Eating initiative and school exercise program. She says she planted a garden at the White House to show how easy it is for you to grow your own food. All you need is water, sunlight and fifty full-time federal employees.

Letters to the editor

How time flies From Jim and Sandy Stalker, owners, The Bookstore Creston

My, how time flies! It has only been 40 plus years ago in 1973 when we decided that Creston needed a bookstore. We moved around a few times till landing at our present location at 210 N. Maple and purchased the building.

Eventually, we built our home above the store in two of the above apartments. This building comes with a lot of history.

Most recently, it was the Creston Shopper, before that, a temporary location for the police department, until their building could be add-

ed to the Union County Courthouse. Somewhere in between, John Spriggs opened a dress shop and before that, the redemption store for S&H Green Stamps. If you don’t know what that was all about, ask your grandparents.

There are some empty spaces in my memory about what else was located there, but at one time, probably somewhere in the ‘20s, it was Emerson Funeral Home. Next door, in Carter’s Insurance Agency, that space was a doctor’s office and hospital. The upstairs was used for recovery. In place of stairs, ramps were built to facilitate access by gurney. The ramps remain in use today. I’ve often wondered if there was a connection in owner-

ship between the two businesses. It almost seems too much of a coincidence that a funeral home would be located right next to a surgery room to handle the occasional error or untimely demise of a patient.

Eventually, the access from Carter’s side was boarded up and forgotten about until many years later when that forgotten space became known as the Jimmy Hoffa room.

And now, it’s time to retire and find a different location to live. If any of your readers would be interested to buying an established 40 year business, or not, within a historical building with inside parking, send them around. We’d be glad to talk to them about the possibilities.

Protect air, water, soil From Karon Finn Creston

The following is a quote from an article by Jill Richardson titled “Approval of New Chemical-Resistant GMOs Likely to Prompt Pesticide Escalation.”

“A decade and a half after farmers began planting the first genetically engineered (GE) crops, the future is clear. The scientists who pioneered genetic engineering thought of themselves as environmentalists, creating products that could reduce pesticide use. Instead, they have simply perpetuated the same ‘pesticide treadmill’ as their pesticide-peddling counterparts resulting in the application of a greater volume of ever more toxic pesticides.”

One of the genetically modified organisms (GMOs) used for years is Roundup Ready. Roundup Ready crops are engineered so that they can survive being sprayed by glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup.

We’ve seen what nearly 20 years of reliance on Monsanto’s Roundup Ready has brought us — over 70 million acres of farmland infested with Roundup Ready resistant “superweeds.” One of the “superweeds” is palmer amaranth, a monster of a weed that grows seven feet tall and produces up to half a million seeds per plant. The weed can grow three inches a day, and it’s thought by some to be tough enough to damage farm machinery.

Forbes Magazine, Sept. 18, 2014, states Dow Chemical Company has received approval from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to commercialize its “Enlist” corn and soybean seeds in the United States. The seeds are genetically modified to tolerate the new herbicide from Dow called Enlist Duo. This herbicide contains 2,4-Dhlorophenoxyacetic acid that adds another mode of action to the glyphosate based herbicide.

Monsanto has developed another herbicide tolerant system

called Roundup Ready Xtend. The Roundup Ready Xtend herbicide adds dicamba as an alternate action of the glyphosate based Roundup herbicide to be used with Roundup Ready seeds that can tolerate application of dicamba, as well as glyphosate. On Jan. 15, 2015, USDA approved Monsanto’s dicamba resistant seeds. All signs point to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) moving swiftly to approve Monsanto’s dicamba herbicide that goes with their seeds.

Dicamba is a developmental or reproductive toxin and 2,4-D was one of the two chemicals that made up Agent Orange, the toxic defoliant the United States sprayed in Vietnam. Monsanto and Dow are the only two chemical companies that produce dicamba. Instead of learning from mistakes the answer seems to be to multiply the problems. Isn’t there a better way to grow our crops? Is the “pesticide treadmill” the way to protect our air, water, soil and ourselves?

A name for Britain’s new princess: Charlotte Elizabeth Diana LONDON (AP) — It’s a name that immediately evokes British royal history: Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, on Monday announced the name they picked for Britain’s newborn princess, a choice seen as a tribute to both Prince William’s parents and grandmother, the queen, as well as a link to Kate’s family.

The princess, the second child of William and Kate, will be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, royal officials said.

The birth of Princess Charlotte marks a new chapter for William and Kate, widely seen as the

monarchy’s most modern, popular couple. But the names they chose are firmly rooted in royal family history. Charlotte, the feminine form of Charles, appears to be a nod to the newborn’s grandfather, Prince Charles.

The baby’s middle names honor Queen Elizabeth II, the infant’s 89-year-old great-grandmother, and the late Princess Diana, William’s mother and the baby’s grandmother.

Charlotte also features in Kate’s family, as the middle name of her sister, Pippa Middleton.

The newborn princess is fourth in line to the throne after Charles, William and her older brother, 21-monthold Prince George.

William and Kate introduced the baby princess to

the world Saturday evening, just 12 hours after Kate checked into St. Mary’s Hospital in London to give birth. The baby weighed in at 8 pounds, 3 ounces (3.7 kilograms).

Her name was warmly welcomed Monday by royal fans. Some were particularly pleased about the tribute to Diana, still remembered fondly by many. Diana, who died in 1997 at age 36, gave birth to William and Harry at the same London hospital where Charlotte was born.

“I so much wanted the name Diana to be in there somewhere,” said Munever Halil, 52. “I wanted it to be Elizabeth Diana, so I think it’s lovely.”

Charles Spencer, Diana’s brother, also approved of the choice.

“Perfect names. My 2-year-old Charlotte Diana will be thrilled at cousinly name-sharing,” he tweeted.

Earlier Monday, Westminster Abbey’s bells pealed and gun salutes were fired across London in honor of the newborn princess.

In a display of traditional pageantry, dozens of deafening volleys were fired from Hyde Park and the Tower of London to mark the occasion.

The royal couple had kept the world guessing about the baby’s name until after both sets of grandparents got a chance to visit Kensington Palace on Sunday to meet their granddaughter.

Bookmakers face a large payout — Charlotte had been a front-runner, alongside other guesses.

Bill Clinton: Foundation has done nothing wrong WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton is publicly musing about his life in a f u t u r e Clinton Clinton administration, saying he would consider stepping down from the foundation that he founded more than a decade ago, if his wife wins the White House.

But he doesn’t plan to stop giving the high-priced speeches to private corporations, foreign governments, and non-profit organizations that have been a mainstay of his post-presidential life. “I gotta pay our bills,” he said, in an

interview aired Monday on NBC’s “Today” show.

“And I also give a lot of it to the foundation every year.”

Clinton’s remarks come as his wife’s presidential campaign grapples with criticism that foreign entities traded donations to the family charity for favors at the State Department, then headed by Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Hundreds of paid speeches given by Clinton, which can command as much as $500,000 or more per appearance, have also come under attack from Republican opponents.

Bill Clinton has largely stayed on the sidelines during the early weeks of his wife’s presidential bid,

opting to focus on his foundation work instead of visiting early primary states with his wife. His decision to reenter the political fray reflects concerns that the intense scrutiny -- and Republican attacks -- on the family charity is having a negative impact on Hillary Clinton’s presidential aspirations. An Associated Press-GfK poll released last week found that more than six in 10 independents agreed that “honest” was not the best word to describe the second-time presidential candidate.

“Bill Clinton is saying what Hillary Clinton has said on many occasions: just trust us, just trust us.

And unfortunately trust is earned through transpar-

ency, and I think they have not been particularly transparent on a whole host of things,” said Republican Carly Fiorina, a former technology CEO who announced her presidential candidacy on Monday.

“Charlotte was the hot tip over the weekend,” said Ladbrokes spokeswoman Jessica Bridge, who estimated that the industry may lose 1 million pounds ($1.51 million) over the name. “We may have lost a fortune, but we’re paying out with a smile and wish the duke and duchess all the best.”

Another bookmaker, William Hill, said they were relieved because their top bet had been Alice. Spokesman Rupert Adams said 5,096 bettors correctly guessed the name and his firm would pay out just over 100,000 pounds ($151,100).

Britain’s royal history includes several Charlottes, a name originating from French, but most lived at least 200 years ago. Queen

Charlotte, the wife of George III, was a keen botanist and founded London’s Kew Gardens. Born in 1744, the queen had 15 children — including one Princess Charlotte, who grew up to marry a German duke.

George IV also named his only child Charlotte in 1796, but she died in childbirth at the age of 21 in 1817, leading to a mass outpouring of grief in Britain.

But royal historian Hugo Vickers said he believed William and Kate probably didn’t choose the first name based on distant history.

“To be honest, I think they just chose the name because they liked it, which is what they do and what we respect about them,” he said.

Landers open house, card shower planned LORIMOR — The family of Rick and Ramona Landers is hosting an open house and card shower in honor of the couple’s 50th wedding anniversary May 9.

Cleaning the boards Dear Readers: In a recent column was a hint on CLEANING DRY-ERASE BOARDS using baking soda.

Here are some additional reader hints: * D.G. in Alabama wrote: “My solution that I have been using for at least a dozen years is baby wipes. They are easy to use and dispose of, and are safe for students to use.” * Laurie H., via email, said: “I’ve tried everything to clean mine, and recently stumbled on a hint on the Internet of using toothpaste. I tried a small dab and rubbed it over the entire board, and it cleaned it to completely white. No residue, ‘ghost’ writing or anything.” * Patti Sanders in Arkansas wrote: “I have found that plain old water in a spray bottle, wiped with soft paper towels, is the best cleaner to keep boards in prime condition. It might not work well if the boards have been abused through the years, but I have a set of 10-year-old boards in my classroom that look brand new.”

RACING Update

Competitive night 2 at Adams County Speedway

By TREVOR MAEDER Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING — Adams County Speedway faced the weather for the second consecutive week of the season.

Rain early Saturday morning threatened the possibility of Saturday’s showcase, but luckily the rain passed through, allowing there to be a night of competitive action at Adams County Speedway Saturday night.

B-Mods Josh Most once again reigned supreme in the Stalker Chevrolet B-Mods.

Counting his two heat race wins to go along with his two feature wins, Josh is currently undefeated in theB-Mod class for 2015. Most started in 12th place, but had surged up to fourth place after just three laps. Most worked his way past Shawn Kralik and Austin Kaplan and into the lead before a Ryan Jenkins spin brought out the caution.

Most executed well on the restarts all night and was able to distance himself from the field on the green-white-checkered restart en route to winning his second feature of 2015.

Kaplan and Kody Havens engaged in a thrilling battle

for second before Kaplan was able to overpower Havens and secure third place.

Jerod Weston took home fourth place while Josh Sink rounded out the top five.

Ryan Jenkins was able to overcome his early race spin and take home a sixth place finish.

After just two weeks Most currently holds the points lead with 84 followed by Jenkins (70), Bryce Allen (66), Weston (64) and Josh Sink (64).

Note: All ties in points are broken based upon most wins, second place finishes, third place finishes, and etc… until the tie is broken.

Pro stocks Brad Derry had to hold off a challenging Clay Mercer in order to pick up the win in The Northland Oil Pro Stocks on Saturday night, but he did it.

Mercer took the lead on the initial start and would battle throughout the race to keep it.

Derry lurked behind him throughout most of the race until he was finally able to take advantage of a bobble

by Mercer in the waning laps.

Derry also had to hold off a charging Greg Miller and Kevin Sharp in the closing

laps in order to secure his first win of the season. Mercer would come in second followed by Sharp winning the competitive third place battle with Miller. David Nail Jr. finished in 5th place.

Derry is currently the point’s leader with 42. Mercer is in second place (30) followed by Sharp (30), Miller (30) and Jerry Pritchett (24)

Late models Mount Ayr native Paul Glendenning was well on his way to a third place finish last week before sustaining engine trouble on the final lap. He got redemption on Saturday night by holding off a late race challenge from Robbie Anderson thus winning the Coors Light Late Models Feature. Glendenning was able to take advantage of his front row starting position, however pole sitter Dave Carlisle was not as fortunate.

Carlisle sustained a broken drive shaft that resulted in his car going off the track at the corner of Turn 1.

Carlisle fortunately walked away unscathed. Following the caution, Glendenning and Anderson would battle fiercely in the closing laps with Anderson unable to make the winning pass.

The 4 machine of J.C. Wyman suffered severe cosmetic damage, resulting in him having to make an emergency pit stop. Wyman however would work his way up to a third place finish. John Hampel and Randy Foote rounded out the top five.

Wyman currently holds the points lead with 26 points. Glendenning is in second place with 22, followed by Sterling Perkins (18), Anderson (16) and last week’s feature winner Corey Zeitner (14).

Andy Davidson in victory lane for Chat Mobility Hobby Stocks.

Andy Davidson was able to fend off of the competition in the final laps of a wild Chat Mobility Hobby Stocks Feature and capture his first victory of the 2015 season. Many cars suffered tire problems. Most notably last week’s feature winner Jeremy Auten.

Davidson was engaged in a race long battle for first with Buck Schafroth, Luke Ramsey, Jeremy Purdy, Jamie Songer and Matt McAtee before a late race accident collected the cars of Ramsey and Purdy both of whom were running in the top five at the time.

Davidson was then forced to hold off McAtee and

Songer in order to collect the win. Schafroth came home in fourth followed by Kurt Hansen in fifth.

Des Moines’ Matt McAtee is currently the points leader with 74 followed by Davidson (66), Auten (62), David Weeda (50) and Schafroth and Sutter tied (46).

Modified The Poet Bio-Refining Modified class was all about Jesse Dennis in 2014. Saturday night was no different.

Dennis made a daring pass for the lead, then consistently hit all of his marks on the restarts. Preventing eventual runner up Josh Most from being able to take the lead.

Dennis would distance him-

self on the final restart and claim his first victory at ACS for 2015.

Most would finish second with Todd Van Eaton, Brad Bergren and last week’s winner; Jeff Wiggins rounding out the top five.

Dennis, the defending track champion, and Jeff Wiggins are tied for the lead at 44, followed by Van Eaton (42), Brian Foote (38) and Clint Homan (36).

This week This week promises to be just as exciting as ACS presents Fan Appreciation Night presented by KSIB Radio.

Panther golfers defeat Red Oak Panther girls second at Atlantic Co-ed

National Digest

Bulls win CLEVELAND (AP) — The Chicago Bulls came in oozing with confidence, unafraid of LeBron James and convinced they could keep their playoff momentum rolling.

Derrick Rose made sure they did.

Looking like the league MVP he was before being slowed by knee injuries, Rose scored 25 points, Pau Gasol added 21 and the Bulls led from the start in a 99-92 victory over the short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Monday night.

Rose, who sustained a shoulder stinger in the closing minute, helped the Bulls swipe homecourt advantage from the Cavs. Cleveland was missing starters Kevin Love and J.R. Smith, but its bigger issue was not stopping Rose or his pick-and-roll plays with Gasol.

Jimmy Butler added 20 points and banked in a contested jumper with 30 seconds left as the Bulls closed it out, silencing a roaring Cleveland crowd already worried about Game 2 on Wednesday night.

Kyrie Irving scored 30 points and James added 19 and 15 rebounds for Cleveland, playing its first game since Love one of the Cavs’ Big 3 was lost for the remainder of the postseason with a shoulder injury.

Creston/O-M golfers swept all of the medalist honors in action against Red Oak Monday.

The Panther boys defeated the Tigers 151-188 at Crestmoor Golf Club.

Christian Groumoutis was medalist with a 35 and Sam Hartsock shot 38 as runner-up on boys golf senior night.

Seniors honored with their parents were Hartsock, Groumoutis, Coleton Hoepker, Jaaron Kautz and Dillon Bailey.

In girls action at Red Oak, the host Tigers did not have a complete team.

Creston/O-M shot 194 with Ashton Carter turning in a 42 as medalist. Teammate Camryn Somers was runner-up with a 50.

“Ashton played steady golf in bad weather,” Creston/O-M coach Jan Lesan said. “For the conditions, we played well.”

Likewise, assistant coach Jon Thomson said the Panther boys responded well to the challenges Please see GOLF, page 10A

Panthers’ Wray signs with Iowa Western

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

State runner-up wrestler Spencer Wray of Creston has signed a National Letter of Intent to wrestle at Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs.

Wray made it official in a signing ceremony Monday morning at Creston High School.

“I think he fits perfect,” Creston/O-M coach Darrell

Frain said. “Iowa Western is an up and coming program. Coach Josh Watts wrestled (Creston’s) Michael Mickey in the state finals, from Assumption. If you come out of that conference to make nationals, you have a good chance to be an All-American.”

Five Reivers achieved All-American status by placing in the top eight at the Jacobson Exhibition Center in Des Moines last season. Oscar Ramirez (149

pounds) was the first in the four-year history of the program to reach the championship round, finishing second to No. 1 Nosomy Pozo of North Iowa Area.

IWCC finished tied for eighth in the team race, topping its previous high-water mark of 13th from last year.

Iowa Western’s five All-Americans equal its total from the previous two Please see WRAY, page 10A

Runaway winner OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — His voice cracked first. Then, his eyes got red. Finally, Stephen Curry cried.

He had felt this way in the past - when he barely received any scholarship offers out of high school, when some questioned whether his game could translate from tiny Davidson College to the NBA, when he sat in a doctor’s office searching for answers on how to fix his troublesome right ankle.

Curry could let it all out and laugh now. This was a time for celebration.

The Golden State Warriors point guard won the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award Monday, the biggest moment yet of a young career already full of overcoming obstacles.

Curry received 100 of 130 first-place votes for a total of 1,198 points from a panel of 129 writers and broadcasters, along with the fan vote on the NBA’s website.

Houston’s James Harden had 25 first-place votes and 936 points. Cleveland’s LeBron James, a fourtime MVP, got five first-place votes and 552 points.

Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook (352 points) finished fourth and New Orleans Pelicans big man Anthony Davis (203 points) was fifth.

Champs: The Mount Ayr boys won their fifth straight Pride of Iowa Conference track and

field championship Monday night in Greenfield, while the Nodaway Valley girls won their first conference title in 10 years. Above, Nodaway Valley senior Sidney Hohertz clears a hurdle during the shuttle hurdle relay, which placed third for the Wolverines. At right, Mount Ayr junior Nick Wurster looks to the sky while flying through the air in the long jump competition. Wurster finished fourth for the Raiders. Full results will be published in Wednesday’s CNA sports section.

ATLANTIC — The Creston girls track team battled the conditions here Monday at the Atlantic Co-ed Meet and finished second to Harlan with 77 points.

The Cyclones won the meet with 120 points. The Panthers held off Glenwood’s 69 points, with Shenandoah finishing fourth with 66 points.

The Panthers got a good start to the meet from the field events, where Hannah Hood and Natalie Mostek each set new personal bests.

Mostek won the high jump competition with a new PR clearance of 4-11. “ N a - N. Mostek t a l i e , in her second to last high jump competition of her career, jumped a PR,” head coach Clay Arnold said. “She was the only girl to clear 4-10, which was real nice. She’s tried 5-0 about 60 times in her career and just barely misses it all the time.

She got over 4-10 easy, so moved her up an inch and cleared that.”

Hood, meanwhile, broke her own school record in the shot put for the third straight m e e t .

This time, H. Hood she improved by more than a foot with her throw of 40-9.50 for second place.

“Hannah decided the conditions weren’t very nice and she was just going to go ahead and throw a 13-inch PR,” Arnold said.

“Absolutely incredible.

Another new school record.”

Her older sister Marie Hood finished eighth in the event with a season’s best throw of 31-8.50.

Shortly after winning the high jump competition, Mostek came back and anchored the 4x800 relay team to victory in 10:14.32.

The Panthers trailed Harlan by a large margin

for much of the race before Taylor Briley cut into the Cyclones’ lead in the third leg. Mostek anchored in a season’s best split of 2:23.66.

“We needed everything she had to anchor that 4x8,” Arnold said. “From the gun, we were way behind. Harlan was way out in front. I quit counting how far ahead Harlan was on exchanges. Briley cut it down some. we were a full 10 seconds behind Harlan.”

Also running on the 4x800 relay were Jessica Beatty and Lexie Little.

The 4x400 relay relay team of Breanna Wallace, Raegen Smith, Mostek and Briley won with a time of 4:15.51.

Wallace ran a season’s best split of 1:03.31 and Mostek ran a season’s best split of 1:03.48.

Smith anchored the Panthers to a second-place finish in the sprint medley relay. With Harlan running out in front, Smith held off Shenandoah’s Serena Parker in a close finish at the line.

“Shenandoah tried to run us down and Raegen just edged out Parker, just outleaned is all, barely,” Arnold said. “Right at the wire for second place.”

Wallace ran 1:05.33 for fifth place in the 400 meter dash, while Danielle Castillo scored a point for the Panthers in the 100 meter hurdles with her sixthplace finish.

Senior Maria Mostek finished second in the 800 meters and took fourth in the 1,500 meters.

“Not as many highlights tonight. We were a little flat,” Arnold said.

“Field events were a huge highlight for us. Natalie was awesome all the way around. Amber (Castillo) was good. I thought Amber, Nat and Hannah were the standouts of the night.”

With the logjam of Hawkeye 10 Conference teams at the top of the team standings Monday, Arnold said Thursday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference Meet in Glenwood is shaping up to be an exciting one.

“Hopefully we’re a little sharper and have better handoffs,” he said. “We’re going to have to. Honestly, it’s shaping up to be one of Please see CO-ED, page 10A

Kucera takes second in Trojan Tournament singles

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

The Creston/O-M boys tennis team had a busy weekend, falling 6-3 Friday at Osceola Clarke before taking seventh place at the Trojan Invitational in Atlantic.

Freshmen Jacob Cook and Jaden Driskell picked up singles victories for the Panthers against Clarke, and teamed up for an 8-4 win at No. 2 doubles.

“It was a tough day for us,” coach Kevin Cooper said.

“We were just so inconsistent and had too many unforced errors. The credit goes to Clarke for getting the win.”

Creston/O-M scored 12 points to finish ahead of Kuemper’s 11 at the Atlantic tourney Saturday. Knoxville was team champion with Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln taking second.

One of the highlights for the Panthers was junior Ryan Kucera finishing second at No. 1 singles.

“Ryan had a great day and played very solid tennis,” Cooper said. “He got a great draw, and was able to take advantage of that by playing very consistently.”

Cook and Driskell went 1-2 for the day in placing sixth at No. 2 doubles. They went three sets in a first-round loss and won their first consolation round match.

“Jacob and Jaden had a great day,” Cooper said.

“They came up just short in the first round against a team from Council Bluffs AL who was a very talented team.

They play very well together as a team, and will only get better with experience.”

Sam Eagan in No. 2 singles and the team of Triston Davidson and Seth Maitlen in No. 1 doubles each placed eighth.

“Sam was very competitive and has come a long way since the start of the season,” Cooper said. “He ended up playing very solid in round one against the second-place finisher in his bracket.

“Triston and Seth had a very close first-round match that could have gone either way,” Cooper added. “They are playing together for the first time this year and hopefully can continue to improve.”

Creston boys and girls teams were in action against Red Oak Monday. Results will be published in Wednes-

Second seed FARGO, N.D. — The South Dakota Coyotes softball team, including junior

South Dakota finished the regular season at 26-23-1 overall and 13-4 in Summit League play after a threegame sweep of South Dakota State over the weekend.

Frain got the start in the first and third games of that series.

North Dakota State (409, 16-2) is the top-seeded team. South Dakota earned its highest tournament seed in program history at No. 2.

The team hit a league record 69 home runs this season.

Frain teams with 2014 Freshman of the Year Rachel Cue in the pitching circle. Cue has a team-high 89 strikeouts.

Cue pitched the second game, a 12-3 victory.

of the weather. Light rain fell on an already damp course.

“Christian was able to take advantage of his length off the tee today,” Thomson said, “getting an eagle on the Groumoutis

par-5 number 8. The boys shot well under the circumstances. Christian was hot with the irons today. I witnessed a lot of chip-ins today from just off the greens, one by Sam Hartsock with a great birdie on 3; Gavin Sickels for a par-saving shot; and Kyle Somers chipping one in for a good birdie.”

Weather permitting, both Creston/O-M teams are scheduled to play in tournaments today in Atlantic,

with the boys at Atlantic Golf and Country Club and the girls at Nishna Hills Golf Club.

national meets combined.

At 141 pounds, Wray will be in the same weight class where NIACC redshirt freshman Jake Marlin of Creston placed second at the national tournament.

The other former Panther wrestling collegiately is Kruz Adamson, 125-pounder at Graceland University.

“I was also thinking about Graceland, Bacone (Oklahoma) and NIACC,” Wray said. “I just liked it over there (Iowa Western). They have a really good program going and it’s a little closer to home.

I know a couple of kids on the team. They had a good spot open and made an offer.”

One of eight Reivers to qualify for the national tournament last season was former Atlantic wrestler Dillon Cox at 125 pounds.

Wray completed a 30-3 senior season by making it to the Class 2A 138-pound finals, where he was defeated by top-ranked Brady Jennings of Osage. His charge to the championship round included a pin of 10th-ranked Pierce Gelhaus of Forest City in the quarterfinals, and an 8-3 semifinal victory over Solon’s Cole Fritz.

Wray finished with 111 career wins and is tied for 17th in program history with 61 falls. He was co-winner of the Mike Abel Outstanding Wrestler Award with sopho-

more state champion Chase Shiltz.

The son of Lori Wray of Creston and Bobby Wray has a long-range academic plan that will get a good start at Iowa Western.

“I’m just going to get my gen eds done over there in the first two years, and after that probably go to a university and pursue a major in business,” Wray said.

Frain, who cited Wray’s leadership last winter on a team that was Class 2A runner-up and fourth in the 2A State Dual Tournament, is excited about his senior’s opportunity.

“This is a great accomplishment for Spencer,” Frain said. “Wrestling has

helped him get through school and now it’s gotten him a chance for a college education. Things are going in the right direction for Spencer. He has goals for his future.”

Wray, 18, also recently made his MMA debut in a bout at Knoxville that he won in less than two minutes. He said that won’t conflict with his status on the Iowa Western wrestling team.

“I started training at Henry’s Martial Arts with Josh Henry my freshman year,” Wray said. “Then this was my first bout after I turned 18. As long as I’m not receiving money, I can continue fighting as an amateur.”

District considers outsourcing hiring of substitute teachers About 190 of Des Moines’ 2,800 classroom teachers are absent on any given day.

■

DES MOINES (AP) — The Des Moines school district is considering hiring a temp agency to hire substitute teachers and teacher associates.

The school board could make its decision Tuesday on the proposed $854,000-a-year contract with Kelly Educational Staffing, the Des Moines

Register reported.

District administrators say the temp agency would use the same standards for substitute teachers. The move could benefit students because the agency would increase Des Moines’ competitiveness with suburban districts for qualified substitutes, according to Anne Sullivan, the district’s chief of human resources.

About 190 of Des Moines’ 2,800 classroom teachers are absent on any given day.

“This could be a viable option, and a viable solution,” school board chair-

woman Cindy Elsbernd said. “These are still going to be professional people.”

But Andrew Rasmussen, president of the Des Moines teachers union, said outsourcing could cut the number of licensed substitutes who have completed a teacher preparation program.

“We have, as a union, always been against outsourcing the work of public employees to private corporations,” he said.

East High School teacher Samy El-Baroudi, who also serves as the union’s treasurer, said district of-

ficials are trying to find a solution to teachers and principals’ complaints about filling substitute teacher positions.

“I just don’t think it’s the right solution,” El-Baroudi said.

Kelly Educational Staffing has worked with school districts in several states, including Texas and Missouri. A message seeking comment from a company representative was left by the newspaper.
