Patterson was one of many students receiving a red cord Friday during the CHS awards ceremony. To receive a red cord, students must donate blood three times, volunteer for eight hours for the Red Cross or enlist five others to give blood during the course of their high school years. The blood drives at Creston High School are organized each year by Kuyper and Hartman.

Osceola Hy-Vee has been upgraded.

After many months of construction at the store, a ribbon cutting was held May 1 to showcase the business’ new amenities.

“In the end, we get a brand new modern facility that rivals anything that you see up in the metro areas, on a smaller scale, obviously,” said Osceola store director Lonnie Smith.

Smith said it was a long winter for both customers and employees with constant construction going on throughout the business.

“With the bridges over and trenches in the store, all the noise, dirt, dust and cleaning every day, working around all that. So, these guys deserve all the credit,” Smith said. “They worked hard and their people worked hard. Taking care of customers through all of what they were having to deal with is testament to how good these guys really are.”

What’s new?

This is a list of Osceola Hy-Vee’s new amenities • In-store pharmacy • Market Café with full-service restaurant and bar • Chinese Express • Expanded produce, wine and spirits • Expanded selections in meat and dairy • Huge bulk foods section • Health market section Osceola Hy-Vee is just one more reason for people to shop locally.

“We’ve had a ton of people say, ‘I used to shop in West Des Moines because I can’t get this, but now I can get it here. I used to go to Mills Civic Hy-Vee because they have so many bulk foods, but now I don’t have to do that because I can shop at our local store,’” Smith said. “They’re super excited about having all those things in our town.”

In the month of April, more than 100 people in the area became certified in CPR because of a certification program that became a reality thanks to Devon Leith.

Leith, vice president and agent at Tyler Insurance, helped form the weekly cardiopulmonary resuscitation certification classes in April, as well as raise funds for automated external defibrillators, or AEDs, for Pay It Forward week.

“It was amazing. We actually got over 100 people trained in the month of April,” Leith said.

“That’s in great thanks to the

Local insurance agencies Tyler Insurance, American Family— Katie Turner, Carter Insurance Services, Farm Bureau — Joe Calvin, Hometown Insurance and State Farm — Ben Adamson paid for the certifications, which were held every Tuesday in April, and Southwestern Community College trainers instructed the classes, as

well as the refresher course held at Creston High School.

“It has been so rewarding, but so much work organizing,” Leith said. “I was just amazed at how many people came forward.”

As well as the CPR certifications, there were 24 AEDs either directly donated or purchased with funds to be placed throughout the southwest Iowa area.

“We really tried to include the region,” Leith said. “There have

Ring in the future

By BAILEY POOLMAN CNA staff reporter

bpoolman@crestonnews.com

When it comes to finding that perfect ring, the choices can be overwhelming. Does the groom want a light or dark material?

Does the bride want a rock with a halo, or just the single stone?

Trends in engagement and wedding rings come and go, and currently, the trends have variety.

“You have to know who you’re buying your gem from because you have to be confident that you’re getting what you’re paying for,” said Jane Ahnen, owner of Jewel Box on the square in

Greenfield.

Ahnen, who has been at Jewel Box for more than 40 years said current trends in engagement rings include white gold, a halo and colored stones.

For Tony Henry, 21, choosing a ring for his fiance Nicole Walker meant finding something she could always wear.

“The most important thing when considering what ring to get her was getting something I knew she would want to wear for a lifetime,” Henry said. “A lot of people upgrade once they are married for awhile and have the finances to do so. I think if you do that, the

second ring wouldn’t have as much sentimental value as the first ring.”

Henry, who was homeschooled, kept the ring-hunting a secret from Walker, 20, bringing in the help of her sisters, until February, when he proposed and gave her a ring that incorporated the infinity sign, which was a symbol they shared when Henry gave her a promise ring previously.

“It’s a symbol of commitment and love, and a unity,” Walker said. “It shows that marriage is eternal and is a life-long commitment.”

Henry is currently planning on graduating from

Mercy College of Health Sciences in Des Moines with an associate of science degree in emergency medical services, paramedic, after fall 2015. Walker plans to attend Mercy College of Health Sciences in August.

The ring Henry chose for Walker follows current trends. It’s a silver-colored material with a halo of stones around the center piece. It also sparkles, and the band is a set of interweaving lines, similar to the infinity sign.

Walker, a Creston High School graduate who lives in Waukee, plans to get her fiance two wedding bands.

A metal band, made out of a trending material like titanium, can be worn on special occasions or for the wedding, while a silicone band can be worn while Henry works.

“I really want something simple, like a QALO wedding band. They are a silicone-type material and made for those with active lifestyles,” Henry, of Cres-

ton, said.

For Henry’s preferred QALO ring, the bands range in prices near $30.

A cause close to Henry’s heart is also the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and Firefighter Wife, which gets donated money for every purchase of a QALO Thin Red Line silicone ring. QALO also offers the same for law en-

forcement.

Men’s wedding bands of man-made materials, like titanium, silicone or tungsten, have proven to be trending currently because of price and appearance.

“A lot of guys are going to the alternative metals, which are titanium, tungsten, sterling silver and stainless steel,” Ahnen said. “It’s a price thing because the gold market has changed the prices so dras-

tically.”

Ahnen also said the silvery and darker materials are preferred because they look more masculine instead of yellow gold. Other options for men’s bands include mixing metals, engravings, embellishments and enamel.

But, overall, there are many different options for those getting engaged or

soon soon to be married.

The ideas are endless for ring sets, and can be as personal or simple as the couple wishes.

“I can’t wait to see how many friends and family are so excited for us and the fact that I get to show off this gorgeous ring to everyone,” Walker said. “I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.”

Some ATMs are loudmouths!

Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND ON, about ATMs: “I like ATMs that don’t sound out the amount of money you are getting and instead just spit it all out at once. It is a safety issue for me. You never know who is nearby. If they hear the machine spitting out 10 $20 bills, they know that you now have a bunch of cash on you.” — I.G., via email It is important to be safe when using an ATM, and this certainly is a consideration.

Guess it’s time to scout out the machines that don’t announce how much money you are getting! You can put your hand over the speaker to muffle the sound, if needed.

Jane, thankfully it turned out all right and he was not hurt. It is very difficult to deal with loved ones in situations like this. The most important issue is keeping them safe!

Horoscope Tuesday, May 12, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a dreamy day, which is why you might find it difficult to concentrate on certain matters, especially routine details.

Don’t worry; this is temporary.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today you feel sympathetic to someone.

You might want to lend your efforts to a charitable organization in order to benefit those who are less fortunate.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A boss, parent or someone in authority might see you in a positive light today. Or possibly, this person is confused about you. (It’s as if you are covered in pixie dust.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened, visit museums, parks, art galleries and gorgeous architectural buildings. Likewise, you will be attracted to inspiring ideas.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) If you are involved in decisions about inheritances or shared property, be careful that you don’t give away the farm.

Generosity is one thing, but idiot compassion is another.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) It’s easy to feel sympathetic for others, especially partners and close friends. If you can do anything to help someone today, you will.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Co-workers will be supportive today. Nevertheless, it’s also possible for people to be disappointed in each other because they expect too much. Make sure your expectations are realistic.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is the perfect day for romance. You will enjoy flirting with someone. You might enjoy romantic movies or books as well. It’s possible to feel let down or misunderstood.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You want to help a family member today, or in turn, you might ask for help from a family member. Make sure that everything is clearly defined. Make no assumptions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your imagination is in overdrive today, which is good for writers and artists. However, if you have work to do, you might spend too much time daydreaming.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) If spending money today, be careful about going overboard on something luxurious and extravagant. Even if your head is in the clouds, make sure your feet are on the ground.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You feel kind and sympathetic to others today, which makes this an easy-going day for the most part. You might be taken in by someone, so be careful.

YOU BORN TODAY You are a mischievous debunker who loves to play pranks. You have

a fabulous imagination and a dry, ironic wit. You often are a leader. Go slowly this year, because there is something important you will learn. The first half of this year will seem slow, but soon, your efforts of the past six years will start to show results! Get out into nature this year.

First half free throw attempts by DeAndre Jordan Sunday, an NBA playoff record.

SHOOTOUT SUCCESS Panthers win tourney title in overtime

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

Jordan

National Digest

Clippers up 3-1 LOS ANGELES — DeAndre Jordan scored 26 points, surviving Houston’s intentional-foul fest in the first half, and the Los Angeles Clippers won 128-95 on Sunday night to take a 3-1 lead and put the Rockets on the brink of elimination in the Western Conference semifinals.

Jordan made 14 of 34 free throws, attempting an NBA playoff-record 28 in the first half, and had 17 rebounds. Blake Griffin added 21 points, J.J. Redick had 18 points and Chris Paul finished with 15 points and 12 assists in the Clippers’ second straight blowout win in the best-of-seven series.

They can advance to the conference finals for the first time in franchise history with a victory in Game 5 Tuesday night in Houston.

James Harden scored 21 points and Trevor Ariza added 18 for the Rockets. Dwight Howard was held to seven points and six rebounds after being in foul trouble most of a game that grinded to a halt early on when Houston started forcing Jordan to the line. Howard fouled out with 9:52 remaining and left the court.

Buzzer-beater CHICAGO — LeBron James watched his coach draw up the final play -- and then drew one up of his own.

“Give me the ball and get out of the way,” he said.

James overruled Cleveland coach David Blatt’s idea for a last-second inbounds play and drained a jumper from the corner at the buzzer to give the Cavaliers an 86-84 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, evening the Eastern Conference semifinal series at 2-2.

During a stoppage the Cavs only got because the officials were reviewing a play, Blatt designed a play that had James taking the ball out. The four-time NBA MVP has been in enough pressure situations that he vetoed his coach.

James, playing the final quarter on a sprained left ankle, finished with 25 points to help the Cavaliers win in another wild finish, returning the favor after Chicago took Game 3 on Derrick Rose’s banked 3-pointer at the horn.

Fowler wins PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The latest survey was unanimous, not anonymous. Rickie Fowler can deliver the goods.

Facing a five-shot deficit with six holes to play, Fowler produced the greatest finish in the 34year history of the TPC Sawgrass. In a three-man playoff on three of the most visually intimidating holes in golf, he never backed down.

And when he faced that nervous shot over the water to an island for the third time Sunday, he was as good as ever.

Criticized in an anonymous survey by some of his peers for not being able to win, Fowler answered with a captivating victory at The Players Championship.

Creston had already lost two overtime shootouts this season, but coach Jesus Rodriguez was confident his team would come through after the championship match of the Panther Tournament was tied 1-1 at the end of regulation Saturday afternoon.

Outplayed the entire match, facing a 40-2 deficit in shots taken, Centerville (3-8) managed to tie it 1-1 with only 14:11 remaining on a goal by senior Quinn McClurg, who had started the game at goalkeeper for the Big Reds.

Panther goalkeeper Alex Nielsen didn’t even have a save yet, because the only

other shot taken by Centerville had missed the frame of the net. But, Rodriguez was confident that he and the five Panther PK shooters were ready to finish triumphantly.

“I honestly didn’t think we were going to lose it,” Rodriguez said. “Nielsen was pretty confident he was going to block one, and he did, and another kid hit it over. I told our boys to relax, smile and hit the PK. It’s a hard pass to the net, that’s all it is. I told the boys I don’t want too many high shots. Hit them low and to the corners. With this wind, it will pick up a high shot right away.”

Centerville’s Michael Bieber made the first PK of the shootout. Creston’s Conner

Pals answered with a solid shot to the left corner out of McClurg’s reach. Bob Wiskus also made one for Centerville, and McClain Haines countered to make it 2-2 with one to the right side.

Then the pendulum started to swing Creston’s way.

Connor Schully hit one too high for Centerville, and Gavin Woods tapped one into the left side of the net for the 3-2 edge after three of five rounds.

Then came the play of the day. McClurg, one of Centerville’s top overall players, came out of the net to hit the fourth shot for his team.

He drove it to his right, and Please see SHOOTOUT, page 9A

A save by Creston goalkeeper Alex Nielsen on this penalty kick by Centerville’s Quinn McClurg helped the Panthers win the overtime PK shootout, 4-2, to claim the championship of the Panther Tournament Saturday.

Panther girls second in tourney

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

A flurry of six goals in 10 minutes — including a penalty kick after a Creston foul in the box — distorted what was otherwise a solid soccer performance by the Creston girls Saturday.

Underwood, a speedy team improving to 9-2, used that second-half scoring binge to defeat the Panthers 7-1 in the championship match of the Panther Tournament Saturday.

The match was scoreless for all but the final 49 seconds of the first half, when the Eagles took a 1-0 lead into intermission on Brooklyn Cooper’s breakaway goal.

Creston (2-10) started the day with a 3-1 victory over Centerville, with the Redettes scoring only after Panther coach Kim Lauffer utilized her bench late to save some energy for the final match. Underwood advanced to the finals by cruising past Boone, 5-0.

A defense that had played relentlessly during the first half couldn’t match Underwood’s attack after halftime, as Hailey James started the binge of six goals four minutes into the second stanza. When there was 27:15 remaining, the score had ballooned to 7-0.

Senior Hanna Luther, who had scored two of the team’s t h r e e goals in the morning victory, finally Luther put the Panthers on the board against Underwood with 6:53 to play.

‘Time to seal the deal’ Southwestern seeks first regional baseball title today

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews. com

WATERLOO — The Southwestern baseball team entered today’s action on the doorstep of history.

Iowa’s severe weather late Sunday interrupted an incredible run of success by the sixth-seeded Spartans in the Region XI Division II Championships.

Play was scheduled to resume at noon today with Southwestern the lone unbeaten in the eight-team double-elimination tournament.

Second-seeded NIACC topped league champion Iowa Central in an elimination game Sunday before the rain fell, 9-6.

That left NIACC (4413) as the team opposing Southwestern (17-33) in the noon final round today. However, if the Spartans suffer their first loss in that game, the elimination game deciding the region champion will follow immediately at about 3 p.m.

On the final weekend of league play, Southwestern rose from seventh to sixth on the tourney seeding list by taking three of four games from Ellsworth to finish at 9-19 in the conference. That series started the incredible run.

One win today in two chances would give Southwestern its first ever baseball regional championship. For several years, including the Bill Krejci era as coach, Southwestern competed in the Division I tournament dominated

by Indian Hills and Iowa Western.

First-year coach Pedro Hernandez said his team got hot at the right time by fine-tuning its execution, Hernandez particularly in

the field.

“The guys have been figuring out a way to win by playing hard and doing the small things, making less mistakes,” Hernandez said. “The pitching staff has done a great job. We had three good (starting) outings and the bullpen has been doing the job, too. I think we’ve only had three errors in the tournament so far. That’s been the difference. Our offense is clicking, too.”

The Spartans started the tournament in exciting fashion Thursday night with a 9-8 victory over third-seeded Southeastern.

Clutch hit Southwestern trailed 8-7 going into the ninth inning.

Pinch-hitter Rafael Eigenmann reached base as the tying run, and Omar Frias walked with two outs. On a 1-1 count, Zach Anderson pounded a ball deep to center field.

Keanu Thompson got a glove on it, but the ball fell out safely for a two-run hit giving the Spartans a 9-8 edge.

A double play and strikeout by Zach Maskill closed out the win. Maskill pitched two shutout innings of relief for starter Ethan Westphal and got the win. Westphal struck out five, walked three and allowed nine hits in seven innings of work.

Center fielder Eric Bueno had a homer and single with f o u r RBI for Southwestern in the Bueno victory.

Right fielder Erich Gonzalez was 3-of-5 with a homer. Second baseman Bradley Lopez scored a pair of runs.

was played,” Lauffer said after Creston activities director Jeff Bevins presented the team trophy to Underwood. “Except for about a 30-minute stretch in the middle there, we played good soccer and showed the improvement we’ve been focusing on.”

Whether it was fatigue, or Underwood’s talent rising to the occasion, there was a sizable shift in momentum after the break.

“Our shape fell apart and it seemed like everyone was looking for someone else to do something for awhile there,” Lauffer said. “They do have speed and they are a very athletic team. That second goal, and the PK, just kind of took the wind out of our sails and we were like, blah, for awhile. That happens to us. Finally, we decided we wanted to fight back and we played well

toward the end again.”

Underwood had an aggressive attack that resulted in a 39-6 difference in shots. Defensive efforts by the likes of Logan Pettit, Katie Powers, Maddie Travis and Kalan Bloodgood kept the Eagles at bay most of the first half, along with a busy afternoon in the net by goalkeeper Taquana Williams.

Williams was credited with 28 saves — many of the spectacular variety — in keeping the match Williams close until the Eagles’ second-half flurry.

CHARITON — The Creston/O-M boys golf team faced a good challenge here Saturday at the Chariton Invite, taking on a solid Centerville team.

The Big Reds came out on top of team standings by a slim 308-312 margin over the Panthers, but Creston/O-M assistant coach Ryan McKim said it was still an encouraging result.

“Today was a good test for our guys,” McKim said.

“Centerville has a very good team and we came up a couple of strokes short.

We played well, but still haven’t had our best day as a team yet. We are getting close, though, which is encouraging heading into the postseason.”

Three Panthers finished in the top six of the tournament, all of whom placed ahead of def e n d i n g Groumoutis Class 3A and twotime state champion Alex Moorman of Centerville.

Moorman posted an 18-

hole score of 78.

Panther senior Christian Groumoutis, fueled by an eagle 3 on the the par-5 first hole, led Creston/O-M with his round of 76. Senior Sam Hartsock and sophomore Kyle Somers each carded a 77 for the Panthers.

Coleton Hoepker rounded out the team scoring for the Panthers with an 82.

The biggest difference for the Big Reds came from Blake Dabney, who posted the low round of the day with a round of 72.

The Panthers return to action today with the Hawkeye 10 Conference Tournaments. The boys travel to Fox Run in Council Bluffs, while the girls play at Glenwood Golf and Country Club.

SHOOTOUT: Continued from page 7A

Nielsen stretched out to knock it away with his left hand.

“Coach said the keeper is going to shoot it to your left,” Nielsen said. “He had seen them practicing. He knew that.

I’m going to listen to the guy who’s been play- Nielsen ing soccer his whole life.”

Indeed, that’s how it played out and the senior Panther goalkeeper was able to preserve the lead, which was clinched moments later when Chase Shiltz knocked in his shot for 4-2 edge and only one Centerville chance remaining.

Considering Creston’s dominance on the field for 80 minutes, but only able to score once by Pals on an assist from Ben Irr, Rodriguez was relieved his team got the championship trophy he felt it deserved.

“Anyone who watched saw how many opportunities we had to be ahead by five or six goals,” Rodriguez said. “We just didn’t put them in. Sometimes we hit at the goalie, some other we put over the net or hit the post. Overall, I’m content because the guys played well and dominated the whole game.”

The Panther coach said if one play in particular had been called the way he saw it, it’s likely the match

SWCC: would not have reached overtime.

“I felt in the first half we should have gotten a penalty kick and a red card on them,” Rodriguez said.

“Pals was going by himself, and the kid tripped him right in front of the goal.”

The foul was called outside the box, and the Panthers failed to convert after the free kick.

But, a defense that allowed only two shots total, without the services of injured senior Brant Hudson, earned high praise from the Panther coach.

“They had a couple of shots total,” he said.

“I couldn’t ask anything more of the guys playing defensively.”

Kaleb Cook, Shiltz, Tayler Pettit and Luke Stillwell did a lot of the defensive work, with Kyle Jennett and Jake Miller effective at defensive midfield positions.

The passing game generating offense, from Irr at midfield and the work with Woods, Pals and Haines up front was exceptional. But 20 shots not making it on frame is too many missed opportunities.

“We have to keep working on putting them in the net,” Rodriguez said.

Creston began the day using a mix of JV and varsity players in knocking off Clarinda Academy, 4-1.

Centerville advanced in an overtime shootout win over Oakland Riverside.

Next up is a key Hawkeye 10 road trip to Carroll Kuemper Catholic on Tuesday. A win could lodge the Panthers (8-5)

into a first-place tie in the league with Glenwood and Kuemper, which earlier beat Kuemper. Glenwood defeated the Panthers after that.

“They are undefeated and ranked fourth in the state and we’re playing on their field,” Rodriguez said. “I think our guys are up to the challenge. I really think it’s going to be a good game.”

Favorite falls Top-seeded Iowa Central fell to the Spartans on Saturday, 6-2, in a battle of teams unbeaten in the tourney.

Joshua Santiago got the win in a pitching duel with Iowa Central’s David Flattery, a former Fort Dodge St. Edmond standout. Santiago improved to 3-7 with 5 1/3 innings, eight hits allowed, only one walk and four strikeouts. Anderson, Collins and Roberts again followed from the bullpen. Roberts, sophomore from Godfrey, Ill., again allowed no runs or hits in 1 1/3 innings.

of Southwestern on Friday, 8-4. John Bisignano of West Des Moines Dowling got the start and went 5 1/3 innings, allowing only three hits with four strikeouts and five walks.

Maskill, BJ Anderson, London Collins and Jason Roberts all had relief roles in the victory.

Collins got the win, with Roberts racking up five strikeouts for all of the outs in his clos- Roberts ing role for the save.

“Roberts shut the door on them,” Hernandez said.

Misael Lebron doubled, singled and drove in two runs. Gonzalez drove in three runs in a three-hit performance and Vega also had three base hits.

of first-pitch strikes and got ahead of them,” Hernandez said. “BJ came in and shut them down when they had runners on second and third and the game was 2-1. Matt Mayden and Frias Mayden hit home runs as we extended the lead.”

Gonzalez was 3-of-4 again and Vega had a pair of hits.

“Every night somebody different stepped up for us,” Hernandez said. “It’s my understanding that Southwestern has never won a regional title. It’s good to be in this situation, but we still have a lot of work to do. Time will tell.”

Maskill will likely get the start in today’s noon game, but the Spartan coach said “everyone is available” for duty, including Westphal, the sophomore ace from Lenox and Martensdale-St. Marys.

Southeast Nebraska is finishing the Region XIII championship against Dakota College of Minneapolis and the winner hosts a three-team district championship this weekend.

The third team is from the Montana/Wyoming region.

“What we’ve done is a big accomplishment and the guys are excited,” Hernandez said. “They want to play well and give the school its first championship. We need to go out there and seal the deal.”

Authorities update number of I-80 crash injuries to 32

SWCC graduation

A semi burst into flames upon impact and spread diesel fuel across the interstate, catching other vehicles on fire.

■

DES MOINES (AP) — A day after a semi crashed into cars stopped on Interstate 80 in eastern Iowa for an accident, many of the 32 people injured have been released from hospitals and authorities said Saturday it’s surprising no one was killed.

A spokeswoman at Mercy Hospital in Iowa City said the eight patients treated there have been released and the local hospital in Marengo confirmed Saturday the

One hundred ninety students received diplomas Friday. Right, graduate Katrina DeVore gives the opening address at SWCC’s commencement Friday.

12 people from the accident they had treated also went home.

University Hospitals in Iowa City was treating the remaining 12 people.

A hospital spokeswoman said she could not immediately release the number remaining.

Iowa State Patrol spokesman Nathan Ludwig said it was a miracle no one was killed in the fiery crash.

The patrol report said an earlier accident Friday halted traffic on the interstate near Williamsburg.

At about 3 p.m., a semi driven by a Portland, Oregon, man who didn’t see that traffic had stopped crashed into the line of cars.

It caused chain reaction involving four other vehicles, including a tour bus carrying 26 employees

from Ryan Companies, a Cedar Rapids commercial real estate developer.

Marc Gullickson, president of the Iowa office, told the Des Moines Register that 22 of his staffers have been released from hospitals and that he doesn’t know the full extent of injuries of the remaining four.

“We don’t have all of the facts as of now so we are not in a position to comment in detail,” Gullickson said.

Two people were in critical care as of Friday night, University Hospitals Chief Nurse Kenneth Rempher told the newspaper.

The semi burst into flames upon impact and spread diesel fuel across the interstate, catching other vehicles including the bus on fire.
