The council accepted a resignation Tuesday from councilwoman Ann Levine — who has purchased a new house in Creston and no longer resides in ward 3.

“It is with regret that I must resign,” Levine said. “I have enjoyed my time on the city council and have learned a lot about city government. I would like to thank everyone at city hall for being so

patient, kind, understanding and supportive.”

Levine’s resignation leaves a vacancy on the city council in ward 3. If interested in the seat, send a resume and letter of interest by email to cityclerk@crestoniowa. gov, by mail to PO Box 449, Creston, IA, 50801 or in person at 116 W. Adams St. in Creston.

know which ward you live in?

View the city’s ward map at www. crestoniowa.gov/citycouncil.htm or call Lisa Williamson, city clerk, at 641-782-2000.

Woods said he’s already received some interest in the seat.

He noted those applicants do not need to send any additional information.

Deadline for resume/letter of interest for this seat is noon May

15. Woods hopes to appoint a new councilperson during the May 19 council meeting. This new councilperson would represent the ward until Woods Dec. 31, 2015, with the ward being open for election this fall.

Creston letter carriers to help ‘stamp out hunger’

By IAN RICHARDSON CNA staff reporter

irichardson@crestonnews.com

In snow or rain or heat or gloom of night, they collect and deliver envelopes, boxes and postcards to the residents of Creston. But this Saturday, local letter carriers will be gathering some additional cargo: bags of nonperishable food.

Saturday will be the 23rd annual National Association of Letter Carriers “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive. With 10,000 participating cities and towns throughout the United States and territories, it is the largest single-day food drive in the United States, with donations going to local food pan- Hardisty tries across the country.

Terry Hardisty, who has been a letter carrier in Creston for 21 years, said local let-

RECOMMENDED FOODS ARE:

• Canned soup • Canned vegetables • Canned meats • Pasta • Peanut butter • Rice or cereal ter carriers have been participating in the drive for as long as he’s been around.

“I can’t remember when we weren’t,” he said.

Last year, Hardisty said carriers picked up an estimated 1,400 pounds of nonperishable food items to donate to MATURA’s Union County outreach food pantry. Nationwide, letter carriers collected nearly 73 million pounds.

According to Feeding America, one of the drive’s national partners, food insecurity affected more than 49 million Americans during 2013, nearly 16 million of them children.

Feeding America lists Union County’s

2013 food insecurity rate at 13.4 percent.

Ron Ludwig, executive director at MATURA, said food drives like the letter carriers’ drive are always appreciated, as the need for assistance continues to steadily increase.

Ludwig “It’s obviously very important for the meeting of the needs of people in the area,” Ludwig said. “When we receive those donations, it provides a large variety of food items for the individuals and families that we serve.”

How to help Interested in taking part in the nation’s largest single-day food drive? Hardisty said it’s simple to participate.

“Yesterday we deliverd a card to each address stating what to do,” he said. “Basically you just put nonperishable food items at your

mailbox and the carrier picks them up.”

Whether those bags are inside or beside the box, letter carriers will pick them up during normal mail delivery Saturday.

The food will then be delivered to the food pantry.

QUICK NEWS Airport zoning approved The Union County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the zoning ordinance for the Creston Municipal Airport Monday after about a month of discussion with landowners and Southern Iowa Council of Governments (SICOG).

SICOG adjusted the ordinance to reflect the current Federal Aviation Administration height easement granted to the Gates’ farm, which is located to the south of the airport’s main runway. The zoning project is part of state, federal and FAA requirements so Creston Municipal Airport can continue to receive required funding to operate in Union County.

The City of Creston adopted the ordinance in February.

County service awards

The Union County Board of Supervisors and Union County Engineer Steve Akes recognized three county employees for their years of service at Monday’s meeting at the Union County Courthouse.

Larry Latham, assistant to the engineer, received a certificate for 40 years of service.

Mitchell Morris and Roger Tucker were also recognized with certificates for 25 years of service.

Southwestern’s graduation

Southwestern Community College will conduct its annual graduation ceremony 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 8. One hundred ninety graduates are expected to walk across the stage to receive their diplomas. Speaker this year will be retiring math instructor Tom Dunphy.

California regulators approve unprecedented water cutbacks SACRAMENTO, Calif.

(AP) — California water regulators adopted sweeping, unprecedented restrictions on how people, governments and businesses can use water amid the state’s ongoing drought, hoping to push reluctant residents to deeper conservation.

The State Water Resources Control Board approved rules Tuesday that force cities to limit watering on public property, encourage homeowners to let their lawns die and impose mandatory water-savings targets for the hundreds of local agencies and cities that supply water to California customers.

Gov. Jerry Brown sought the more stringent regulations, arguing that voluntary conservation efforts have so far not yielded the water savings needed amid a four-year drought.

He ordered water agencies to cut urban water use by 25 percent from levels in 2013, the year before he declared a drought emergency.

“It is better to prepare now than face much more painful cuts should it not rain in the fall,” board Chairwoman Felicia Marcus said Tuesday as the panel voted 5-0 to approve the new rules.

Although the rules are called mandatory, it’s still unclear what punishment the state water board and local agencies will impose

Stringent regulations Despite the dire warnings, it’s also still not clear that Californians have grasped the seriousness of the drought or the need for conservation. Data released by the board Tuesday showed that Californians conserved little water in March, and local officials were not aggressive in cracking down on waste. for those that don’t meet the targets. Board officials said they expect dramatic water savings as soon as June and are willing to add restrictions and penalties for agencies that lag.

But the board lacks staff to oversee each of the hundreds of water agencies, which range dramatically in size and scope. Some local agencies that are tasked with achieving savings do not have the resources to issue tickets to those who waste water, and many others have chosen not to do so.

Despite the dire warnings, it’s also still not clear that Californians have grasped the seriousness of the drought or the need for conservation. Data released by the board Tuesday showed that Californians conserved little water in March, and local officials were not aggressive in cracking down on waste.

A survey of local water departments showed water use fell less than 4 percent in March compared with the same month in 2013.

Overall savings have been only about 9 percent since

last summer.

Under the new rules, each city is ordered to cut water use by as much as 36 percent compared with 2013. Some local water departments have called the proposal unrealistic and unfair, arguing that achieving steep cuts could cause higher water bills and declining property values, and dissuade projects to develop drought-proof water technology such as desalination and sewage recycling.

Representatives of San Diego-area water agencies have been especially critical of the water targets, noting that the region has slashed consumption and agencies have spent $3.5 billion to prepare for dry periods after facing severe cuts in earlier droughts.

“San Diego has lived the horror of what the state is going through right now,” Mark Weston, the board chairman of the San Diego County Water Authority, told state regulators Tuesday.

After a 10-hour hearing that included more than 5 hours of public testimony, the water board again on

Tuesday rejected calls to create easier targets for communities in drier areas or for cities that have been conserving since before the drought.

An economic analysis of the water board’s proposal commissioned by the board estimated that private water utilities and local water departments would lose a total of about $1 billion in revenue through lost water sales if they meet the board’s targets, meaning they are likely to raise prices to make up the difference.

Residents and businesses use less than a fifth of the water withdrawn from the state’s surface and groundwater supplies. Farms in the state’s agricultural heartland have had deliveries from government reservoir systems slashed and some have been ordered to stop diverting water that is normally available to them from streams and rivers.

Brown said last week he would push for legislation boosting authorizing fines of up to $10,000 for extreme wasters of water, but he needs legislative approval to do so, and no bill has been introduced.

Another tool — tiered pricing, in which the price rises as water use goes up — is in question after a court struck down water rates designed to encourage conservation in San Juan Capistrano in Orange County.

Iowa Gov. Branstad seeks to change unusual abortion policy DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad wants to halt a policy adopted two years ago that threatened to put him in the unusual position of having to sign off on paym e n t s Branstad for every Medicaid-funded abortion in the state.

A spokesman for the Republican governor said Tuesday that Branstad’s proposed Health and Human Services budget doesn’t include that provision, which was developed in a compromise health care deal by the Democratic-led Senate and Republican-controlled House. At the time, conservatives hoped the requirement would limit the public dollars spent on abortion by putting more scrutiny on the conservative anti-abortion governor.

The policy effectively halted Medicaid payments for abortion in Iowa because medical providers

simply stopped submitting claims. A spokesman for the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics — where most of these procedures have been done in past years — said last year that the university wanted to stay out of the politics surrounding the issue.

Iowa’s Medicaid program previously paid for only a small number of abortions each year. Federal guidelines require the state to pay in cases of rape, incest and to save the mother’s life. Iowa’s program also covered some cases of fetal deformity.

The policy impacts reimbursements after the abortions, not authorizing the procedures ahead of time.

Branstad spokesman Jimmy Centers said the governor sought the change because Branstad hasn’t been asked to approve any reimbursements.

The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics have performed 34 procedures since July 1, 2013, that would otherwise have been billed to Medicaid, spokesman Tom Moore said. The average cost of such a procedure is $961.

RICH PAULSEN publisher@crestonnews.com

Rep. Matt Windschitl, R-Missouri Valley, said anti-abortion conservatives in the House will continue to seek a way to ensure that public funds don’t go to abortions.

“We’re looking at ways to achieve the same goal maybe in a different fashion with language,” he said. “We want to make

sure that taxpayer dollars are not being used for the morally unconscionable procedure of abortion.”

Sen. Amanda Ragan, D-Mason City, said the Senate is using the language recommended by the governor, but expects more negotiation. She said the current policy has “politicized” this issue.

OPINION

A strong foundation for the next chapter “There’s no such thing as bad weather, just soft people.” - Bill Bowerman The sound of rain drops against my window almost had me convinced to skip my evening run Monday. It was after 7 p.m., I was hungry and nothing about a soggy run in the rain sounded appealing.

Just as I was about to make up an excuse to a college friend about why I wasn’t going to go run, my phone lit up with a text of that old, familiar Bowerman quote we used to say before any workout or race in inclement weather. Within minutes, I was pulling my trainers onto my feet and was out the door.

The streets of Creston were qui-

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham associate editor

et. I splashed along my route down the bike path toward McKinley Lake, before climbing the hill toward the train underpass. I was in such a trance, I almost didn’t hear a group of kids yelling at me from one of the park’s shelter houses.

My first thought was I would hear the typical crazy runner or nice short shorts comments, but, to my surprise, they were actually cheering me on.

As I tried to focus on who this group of supporters could be, a swarm of them darted out from their protection from the drizzle and joined me for a few meters of my run. It was the distance crew from the Southwestern Community College track team, most of whom I had coached during cross country.

I should have guessed it was them. They are the only group I know who are crazy enough to grill hot dogs during a storm.

They were taking a break from a spontaneous soccer match and needed an extra player. Since I was already drenched, I told them I would come back after I got a

couple more miles in and be a substitute if they still needed another player.

My stall tactic didn’t work.

They waited and as soon as I ran back by the park, the game resumed and I went from sub to starter. Of course the rain had made for terrible playing conditions, but given all of our lack of natural soccer talent, it led to a lot of laughs, some muddy spills and a great memory.

This Friday night, the SWCC students will graduate and disperse across the country, pursuing their academic, athletic and life goals just like I did half a decade ago.

It will also be the final chapter of head coach Bill Huntington’s ten-

ure at the helm of SWCC’s cross country and track programs. He told every recruit who walked on campus to run for him that his biggest goal was to watch them walk across the stage at graduation.

Since starting both programs, Huntington has coached All-Americans and regional champions as well as future police officers, nurses and teachers. He has devoted his life to the betterment of his pupils, and will continue to do so as an administrator.

Thank you Coach for your years of dedication and establishing a strong foundation for the next chapter of SWCC cross country and track to build off of.

From Rep. Jack Drake’s desk The House Majority Party continued their progress on passing a budget bill that is within ongoing state revenue at a time when national indicators point to an economic slowdown.

At the end of the week, the House will have debated the five budget bills it is responsible to start: Federal Block Grants, Transportation, Infrastructure (RIIF), Administration and Regulation and Education. In addition, the House Appropriations Committee has passed four of the budget bills started by the Senate: Agriculture and Natural Resources, Economic Development, Judicial Branch and Justice Systems. This leaves two bills yet to begin the process-Health and Human Services and the Standings bill. Both of these are to start in the Senate.

The bills moved by the House will be funded within the ongoing revenue estimate for FY 2016 of $7.1755 billion. The need to keep ongoing state spending within this amount was evident again April 29 when the U.S. Commerce Department released figures on the first quarter’s domestic product. First Quarter GDP for 2015 showed a 0.2 percent growth. The Washington Post stated that the national economy “ground nearly to a halt.”

The actual growth was well shy of the 1.9 percent growth predicated for the quarter and the 2.4 percent growth rate experienced in 2014.

The causes for the sudden slowdown are varied. Exports took a significant drop in the first quarter, with the export of goods and services going down 7.2 percent. Part of the blame for this is the stronger dollar, which made goods for export more expensive in foreign markets. Another issue was the 2015 winter and its severe impact on certain areas of the country.

While Iowa’s winter weather was

State Representative Jack Drake 21st Dist. Republican

bearable, the northeastern U.S. was repeatedly hit with massive snowstorms which impacted consumer spending.

Construction and manufacturing related to homes were stagnant during the quarter and the number of new hires grew, that growth was almost half of what was experienced in the last quarter of 2014.

The sluggishness of the economy is sending cautionary signals to economists and policymakers across the country. Here in Iowa, the recent discovery of Avian Flu in major turkey and chicken flocks has the potential to have a major impact on the Ag economy. The state revenue growth for the Fiscal Year 2015 still remains below the figure projected by the Revenue Estimating Conference.

On April 27, Iowa Agriculture Secretary Northey appeared before the House Appropriation Committee to describe this outbreak and what additional resources are being used by the state/IDALS in this investigation and eradication and clean-up. Also discussed was what additional funds might be needed in this effort.

We like to hear from you!

Bruce Jenner was sued for wrongful death in Los Angeles Friday for his role in the multiple car crash on Pacific Coast Highway months ago in which a woman died. He may seek a delay until after his transition is surgically completed. And then he can testify that it wasn’t him driving, it was some guy.

The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to an eight-pound baby girl late Friday night at St. Mary’s hospital in London. For two days the world was kept in the dark not knowing what the royal couple would name their daughter. Both Floyd and Manny were eliminated after Saturday’s disappointing bout.

Prince William and Duchess Kate showed their newborn daughter Charlotte Elizabeth Diana to photographers. They really covered all the bases.The baby is named after the current Queen, the People’s Queen and America’s last Queen, making her fourth in line to the World Series of Poker title.

Las Vegas hosted the welterweight title fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Hotel on Saturday night. The so-called fight left a lot to be desired. If Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao hold and dance any more they won’t be able to order pizza in Indiana.

Floyd Mayweather played the villian, out-pointing Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas Saturday. After the fight, he sat on the front

That’s how much it took to get the girls to take off their safety helmets.

Maryland former governor Martin O’Malley said Sunday he will announce for the Democratic nomination for president in Baltimore. He was touring riot-torn neighborhoods. Not to be outdone, Hillary Clinton was in L.A. and ordered her driver to take her through the rough part of Beverly Hills.

Baltimore street tensions erupted anew Monday after a Baltimore policeman shot a young black suspect as he was fleeing down the main street of the riot neighborhood. By the time this is all over, the CVS pharmacy will have burned down so many times the owner could be indicted for insurance fraud.

Baltimore crowds swarmed around a policeman who jumped out of his car, starting chasing a kid down the street and shot him Monday. The governor just issued a new curfew. Starting at ten o’clock tonight, in order the protect the people of Baltimore, the police will not be allowed on the streets.

Tiger Woods and Lindsay Vonn sent out tweets Sunday saying they have mutually and amicably

broken up after three years. The beleagured golfer is learning as he goes along like we all are. It took Tiger the first half of his life to learn that you cheat with the Swedish nanny, not on the Swedish nanny.

Statue of Liberty police signaled the all-clear after a caller threatened to blow up the New York landmark last week. It symbolizes our greatness. An immigrant can arrive in the U.S. from halfway around the world and not be able to speak four words of English, and in four hours, he’s driving a cab.

Dr. Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina announced for the GOP nomination for president Monday, joining Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.

The GOP candidates field has a black guy, a woman, and two Hispanics. Like Obamacare, the 21st century is something Republicans neither asked for nor wanted .

Bill Clinton told an NBC News interviewer Sunday even though Hillary Clinton is running for president he will keep making half-million dollar speeches. He looked healthy. Bill had just returned from a tour of Kenya, proving that Hillary is dead serious about carrying Barack Obama’s home state.

Cinco de Mayo was celebrated with parties and Mexican street festivals in Los Angeles Tuesday and in house parties and bar gatherings across America. It has become a major national holiday for partying. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican Army’s surprise victory over sobriety in 1862.

Swine tagged for Adair County Fair GREENFIELD — Adair County 4-H and FFA members tagged 99 pigs as part of the countywide tagging.

These pigs are now eligible to exhibit at the 2015 Adair County Fair.

The county fair swine show is slated for July 16.

Pigs will be entered at the county fair on 7 to 8:30 a.m.

July 15. All other livestock, except poultry and rabbits, must be on the grounds and stalled by noon July 15.

The following 19 youths identified pigs: Brad Baudler, Joe and Annie Herr, Carter Goetz, Messina Miller, Fontanelle; Hannah Jorgensen and Brooke Caltrider, Adair; Tim and Sara Beane, Stuart; Matt, Kyra and Alan Evans, Bridgewater; Bailee Huddleson, Orient; Beau and Reagan Weinheimer, Greenfield;

and Halee Wallace, and Kysa, Chisum, and Heath Downing, Creston.

Thirty-four of the pigs tagged were also entered in the Lean Value Carcass contest sponsored by Adair County Pork Producers. Final placing in the contest will be determined by lean carcass value – not lean gain per day on test – as pigs were not weighed during the tagging process. Carcass merit is determined using ultrasound.

Twenty-three pigs were tagged with a special DNA ear tag making them eligible for the 2015 Iowa State Fair.

Bailee Huddleson, Annie Herr and Beau and Reagan Weinheimer verified pigs for the state fair 4-H swine show.

There is still time to join 4-H and complete a project.

4-H memberships for the

Is it safe to put those in the microwave? — Carol, via email Yes, it is. However, check that the sponge/scrubbie has no metal pieces. Here’s a hint: Read the label on the package!

DO wet the sponge before “nuking” it in the microwave.

DON’T microwave a dry sponge — it’s like asking for a fire to start.

Two minutes is usually the right amount of time. Don’t “push the envelope.” — Heloise P.S.: Folks, I don’t know what the deal is with keeping sponges FAR beyond their safe life span. Buy them when on sale; toss when it’s time!

Hints from Heloise filters that keep collapsing.

Here are a few of your hints: Stephanie, via email, said: “The solution: Use two paper filters, fitted together, each time you brew a pot of coffee. The strength of two keeps them from collapsing.”

Dave V. in Little Rock, Ark., wrote: “I have the solution: Use the plastic lid from a 12-ounce peanut can. I cut a large hole out of the lid (leaving about a quarter inch of the rim).

Also, I use paper doilies under cakes to make them look pretty. But the cake moisture soaks into the doily, and you can end up eating the paper by mistake.

National Digest

Hawks win ATLANTA — Shortly before tipoff, the Atlanta Hawks learned that John Wall wouldn’t be playing for the Washington Wizards in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

That should have made things a lot easier for top-seeded Atlanta, right?

Hardly.

Taken to the limit again, the Hawks finally pulled away for a 106-90 victory over the Wizards on Tuesday night that was much closer than the score indicated and evened the series at one game apiece.

DeMarre Carroll scored 22 points, Kyle Korver bounced back from a miserable first half, and Al Horford made some huge plays when the Hawks needed them most.

Pacquiao suit A class-action lawsuit was filed Tuesday on behalf of two Las Vegas residents seeking more than $5 million from Manny Pacquiao, his manager and his promoters for fraudulently concealing his injury before his fight against Floyd Mayweather.

The suit alleges that Pacquiao and his manager Michael Koncz, his promotional company Top Rank, its chairman Bob Arum and its president Todd duBoef, admitted that they knew of his shoulder injury after the fight, but failed to disclose it to the Nevada Athletic Commission as required by law. They also kept it a secret from fans who bought tickets to the fight, purchased the fight on pay-per-view and bet on the fight.

It is estimated that payper-view revenues could top $300 million, and wagers in the state of Nevada alone on the fight could surpass $60 million. Ticket revenues from the fight were expected to generate $72 million, though only roughly 500 tickets were sold to the public.

Rematch?

Floyd Mayweather told ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith in a text Tuesday that he would be open to a rematch after Manny Pacquiao recovers from shoulder surgery to repair a tear in his rotator cuff.

“I will fight him in a year after his surgery,” Mayweather texted Smith on the heels of his unanimous decision over Pacquiao in the richest fight ever.

Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache told ESPN.com on Monday that Pacquiao will have surgery later this week to repair a “significant tear” in his rotator cuff, which he suffered prior to the fight. The surgery will sideline the boxer for at least nine to 12 months.

The 38-year-old Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOs) has one fight remaining on his Showtime contract and has stated several times that he intends to retire after a final fight in September, although he admitted during Saturday’s postfight news conference that he is “human” and occasionally contradicts himself.

Indianola takes second win over Panthers Creston/O-M girls win, boys

By LARRY PETERSON second at Atlantic Tourney CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Creston News Advertiser Wednesday, May 6, 2015

Perhaps Creston’s strongest senior class ever — with all 11 introduced with their parents prior to the match — saw Indianola steal the show in a 2-0 victory over the Panthers at the north soccer field here Tuesday.

Indianola is just 2-8, with the only victories coming against Creston, including a shootout tiebreaker in the Winterset Tournament. This time, the Indians had a 12-8 advantage in shots on goal, after getting no shots in the earlier match that ended 0-0 in regulation. The Indians were coming off a 7-0 loss to Southeast Polk.

“They are not having a great season, but they are in 3A, and the competition is fierce,” Creston coach Jesus Rodriguez said. “If we were playing 3A teams, it would be tough to get a winning record.”

Creston fell to 6-5 overall heading into Saturday’s home tournament, facing Clarinda Academy in the 9 a.m. opener. Centerville plays Riverside of Oakland in the other boys firstround match.

“We haven’t been playing the way we normally do,” Rodriguez said. “I told the boys, the playoffs are getting closer and closer. We have to get going.

Games like this, we have to put away when we have the opportunity.”

The Panther coach said the Indians played solid defense in the final third

of the field, but there were ample scoring opportunities.

“In the first half we had opportunities, and in the first 10 minutes of the second half, we had three oneon-one situations with the goalie,” Rodriguez said.

“We missed them all. If we put those in, it’s a totally different game. Up 3-1, we could control the game in a totally different manner.

We have to keep working.”

Two of the seniors who are part of the normal defensive rotation — Kyle Jennett and Brant Hudson — were hampered by injuries. Jennett got the senior day start and then left soon after with a hip ailment. Hudson only saw part-time duty, sore from being kicked recently in the Achilles tendon area.

“We’re not as strong on the outside without those guys,” Rodriguez said.

“But we wouldn’t be in that predicament if we had finished our opportunities.”

Indianola first scored with 16 minutes left in the first half, after defender Chase Shiltz was assessed one of three yellow cards, keeping those Panthers out of action for 10 minutes each.

“They said we elbowed in the box and they got a free kick,” Rodriguez said.

“I don’t think it was an elbow, it was a shoulder but at the kid’s height it looked like it. The guy crossed it in. Jake (Miller) tried to trap it in the box, but their Please see PANTHERS, page 8A

Raiders win fifth straight POI championship

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD — The defending Class 1A state champion Mount Ayr Raiders continued their dynasty here Monday, winning their fifth straight Pride of Iowa Conference boys track championship.

And the Raiders did it in dominant fashion, racking up 133 points and winning a total of seven events.

Pleasantville finished second with 78 points, while Southwest Valley and Nodaway Valley rounded out the top four with 70 points and 59 points, respectively.

Lenox finished 10th with 12 points and East Union scored six points in 12th place.

Leading the charge for the Raiders Monday night was junior Kyle Dolecheck, a three-time state champion last spring and a Drake Re-

lays qualifier this year in the 800 meters.

Dolecheck won four gold medals in the less than ideal conditions, including three individual golds.

The Mount Ayr junior easily won the 400 meter dash in 51.33 and then came back to win the 200 meter Dolecheck dash in a time of 22.49, which ranks him second on Mount Ayr’s all-time performance list.

Dolecheck coasted in the 800 meters, winning in 2:08.75, with teammate Trevor Anderson finishing second in 2:11.05.

Dolecheck and Anderson combined with Rhett Murphy and Grant Staats to cap the meet with a win in the 4x400 relay, running 3:34.59.

“It was a rainy night in

Greenfield, however, that did not dampen our performances, as the Raiders were set to compete,” Mount Ayr head coach Brad Elliott said. “On the track, Kyle Dolecheck was on fire. He nearly broke the school record in the 200 meters with his win. Trevor Anderson had a very productive night.

Rhett Murphy was heavily involved with the scoring total.”

Anderson also finished third in the 1,600 meters and anchored Mount Ayr’s second-place 4x800 relay.

Murphy ran on the 4x800 relay, the second-place 4x200 relay and the second-place distance medley relay.

Raider senior Joe Ricker swept the throwing events, winning the discus with a toss of 144-1, while teammate Jed McCreary took second at 124-8. Ricker won Please see POI BOYS, page 9A

ATLANTIC — After a long day of 18 holes of golf, a combined five strokes separated the top two girls teams and the top two boys teams here Tuesday at the Atlantic Tournament.

The Creston/O-M girls bested defending Class 3A state champion Atlantic at its home tournament with a score of 364, edging the Trojans by one stroke for the team title.

Shenandoah and Harlan tied for third with a team score of 398, making it a two-team race at the top.

On the other side, the Creston/O-M boys lost out on the top spot to Norwalk by just four strokes 317321. Ballard finished third with a score of 324.

Champs Despite posting the two lowest individual scores of the day, Atlantic fell by one stroke to the Panthers in the girls competition.

The Panthers, meanwhile, put all four scoring members of the team in the tournament’s top 10 individually.

“We really brought it all together today,” Creston/O-M junior Camryn Somers said. “It’s one thing to win the tournament, but to beat the defending state champs on their home course makes it an even better win.”

Atlantic’s Brooke Newell (79) and Erin Olsen (84) had the lowest scores of the day, but Panther junior

Madison Hance was right in the thick of things with her 18-hole round of 87. Freshm a n Ashton C a r t e r Hance finished fourth overall with an 89.

Another Panther freshman, Sophia Groumoutis, took seventh overall with a round of 92, while Somers finished 10th by carding a 96.

“Words can’t describe how proud I am of this team,” said Hance, a returning state qualifier for the Panthers. “We have come so far in such a short time, and I know that we will continue to improve as a team. Big things are in our future!”

Boys At the boys tournament at Atlantic Golf and Country Club, the Panthers finished just four strokes behind Norwalk for the team title.

Wolverine girls win first POI title in 10 years

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley ended Interstate 35’s string of back-to-back Pride of Iowa Conference girls track championships here Monday, ending a drought of its own in the process.

The Wolverines won six events on their way to scoring 109 points, which bettered runner-up Mount Ayr’s 91 points.

It marked the first time in 10 years the Wolverines have won the POI girls track championship.

Wayne finished third with 88 points, while Lenox was fourth with 62 points.

East Union finished seventh with 34 points and Southwest Valley recorded 33 points for eighth place.

Junior Destiny Scar’s big night in the distance events was a key to Nodaway Valley’s championship.

Scar won both the 3,000 meters and the 1,500 meters and finished second in the 800 meters.

S c a r Scar r a n 11:32.65 in the 3,000 meters and 5:22.16 in the 1,500 meters.

Kenna Lundy won Nodaway Valley’s other individual gold medal with a dominant performance in the 400 meter hurdles.

Lundy ran 1:11.10 to best runner-up Elizabeth Herzberg of Southwest Valley by more than four seconds.

Lundy and Scar each ran on Nodaway Valley’s winning 4x400 relay team that also included Rachel Scheel and Katy Ehrsam.

The Wolverines edged out Lenox at the line to

win, running 4:28.50 to Lenox’s 4:28.90.

Lundy picked up her third gold medal of the meet in the 4x100 relay, combining with Ehrsam, Lundy P a i g e McElfish and Sidney Hohertz to run 54.11.

Nodaway Valley also won the 4x200 relay with the quartet of Scheel, McElfish, Sadie Marnin and Hohertz. That relay team ran 1:56.09.

Mount Ayr picked up four event victories on the night, sweeping the throwing events. Senior Katie Holmes won the discus with a throw of 97-1, as Southwest Valley’s Shanna Saunders finished second at 89-6.

Raiderette freshman Sara Winemiller won the shot put with her throw of 32-2.

Senior Ashton Johnson won the 100 meter hurdles for the Raiderettes, breaking the tape in 16.65, with Alyssa Johnson running 16.75 in second place for Mount Ayr, just nipping Ehrsam (16.76) at the line.

Ashton and Alyssa Johnson each ran on Mount Ayr’s winning shuttle hurdle relay team. Other members were Megan Warin and Laura Davison. The Raiderettes ran 1:10.58.

Lenox senior Katie Dukes picked up three gold medals for the night, winning the 400 meter dash, the 800 meters and anchoring the Tigers’ winning sprint medley relay.

Panther tennis teams sweep Chariton PANTHERS:

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

Creston tennis teams had a perfect night Tuesday — matching the weather — in shutting out both the Chariton girls and boys teams by 9-0 scores.

The Panther boys improved to 3-4 in blanking the Chargers at the SWCC courts. (The official outcome of Monday’s dual against Red Oak has not been determined after the lineup was submitted incorrectly to Red Oak coaches. Creston won six of those nine matches.)

“Today was an absolutely perfect day to play tennis, and both teams really enjoyed getting to play,” Panther coach Kevin Cooper said. “Chariton had almost the exact same numbers as us, so it was great to get in some JV matches along with the varsity matches. We were able to secure the meet victory during singles. It will be nice to have a few days of practice before we get ready for the Hawkeye 10 tennis tournament next Monday in Council Bluffs.”

At Chariton, Creston girls (now 5-3) sailed 9-0, including four victories by 8-0 scores — two each in singles and doubles.

That was a nice turnaround from a 9-0 loss Monday to a powerful Red Oak team poised for another state run.

“Tonight was quite the turnaround after last night,” Creston assistant coach Amanda Plymale said. “I’m happy the team came out and played hard after a tough loss to a tough opponent last night.

We have the rest of the week off to practice and start getting ready for conference. Our final home meet is Tuesday against Boone.”

Talent Search Freshmen Day being hosted at SWCC Students who participate in the Educational Talent Search (ETS) program will get the opportunity to take part in an overnight campus visit on the Southwestern Community College (SWCC) campus May 20. ETS high school freshmen are invited to spend the night in the new Spartan Court residence hall.

Space is limited to the first 20 participants.

During the event, ETS student participants will get the chance to sit in on college classes at SWCC, experience dorm life, have a campus tour, and sit in on a financial aid and admissions presentation.

The goal of this event is to acquaint ETS freshmen with college life. Statistics show that the earlier students are exposed to a college campus, the more likely they are to attend college. The ETS program is using this activity

by Area 14’s ETS program.

The ETS office is located on SWCC’s Creston campus.
