Ready for construction ■ Afton city councilwoman disappointed

UCDA will not be building a house on the empty lot in Afton, above. UCDA director said the project is only feasible with help from SWCC’s carpentry program.

AFTON — Afton City Councilwoman Sherry Parrot expressed disappointment Tuesday that Union County Development Association (UCDA) will not be building a new house on an empty lot in Afton this year.

The city has owned that lot — located at 409 W. Fillmore St. — since May 8, 2012. UCDA began having conversations with the council about building a house on the lot in 2013, but in April, the UCDA told the council the resources to do so won’t be available.

“What makes the home feasible for us to build is to use the high school carpentry program (through Southwestern Community College),” said Wayne Pantini, UCDA executive director.

“That would put that home price out of the range we are

looking at.”

Pantini said to build a structure on the lot is dependent upon the enrollment of students in Southwestern Community College’s (SWCC) carpentry program, which is largely made up of high school junior and senior students.

C u r rently, en- Pantini rollment in the carpentry program at Creston and East Union high schools is down. Pantini said enrollment of students is higher in places like Corning and Nodaway Valley, however, the commute is an issue.

Toni Landers, Afton city clerk, said Afton paid about $3,000 annually for more than 10 years to be a member of the UCDA, but

dropped membership approximately five years ago because “some people felt the UCDA was more of a Creston development association than a Union County development association.”

The city reinstated their membership in 2012.

Last month, Pantini recommended Afton write a new resolution allowing them to sell the lot to another individual, which, he said would allow Afton the “flexibility” to offer the property to another organization.

Pantini said the original resolution gave the UCDA a five-year timeframe to construct a house on the land.

“That was part of the negotiation,” Pantini said.

However, UCDA is still interested in building on the lot, it just might take time.

Parrot is scheduled to meet with UCDA again Wednesday to learn more about a timeline for when UCDA might begin building a home on the lot. The city is considering putting the lot on the market or offering it to another organization based on what Parrot finds out.

In other council business: • Afton Police Chief John

Coulter updated the council on efforts to amend provisions pertaining to speed r e g u l a - Coulter t i o n s .

Coulter said Afton Police are still waiting on information from the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) to decrease the speed from 45 to 35 miles per hour in two locations on North Douglas Street — between Casey’s General Store and Highway 34, and from Scott Street, south, to Browning Street.

• Afton Splash Pad efforts are stalled as the council holds off on removing a slab of concrete pending a drainage and water treatment report for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

City Clerk Toni Landers said the report is being prepared by Engineer Forrest Aldrich, Veenstra & Kimm.

To date, Afton has raised $93,000 of their $107,000 goal. A start date for the construction of the splash pad is to be determined.

Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Dorothy Delores Tilley, daughter of Elna Josephine (Johnson) and Edmund William Olson, was born Jan. 30, 1924, in St. Peter, Minn.

Dorothy graduated from high school in St. Peter, Minn.

On Nov. 11, 1942, Dot

married Archie Matthew “Pat” Tilley in St. Peter, Minn. They lived for a short time in Washington, D.C., before Archie was inducted into the United States Air Force. They lived numerous places, including Colorado.

Upon Archie’s discharge from the service, they moved to Ogden, where together they operated a café, and then to Ackley, where they operated another café.

They moved to Creston in 1952.

Dot was a homemaker.

Archie died in 1979.

Dot is survived by her sons, Dr. Larry (wife Jeri) Tilley of Santa Fe, N.M., and Dr. Steve (wife Sue) Tilley of Creston; grandchildren, Kyle Tilley of Santa Fe, N.M., Jodi (husband Harley) Johnson of Creston and Jeff (wife Kim) Tilley of Des Moines; and great-grandchildren, Tucker Rhoades, Katelyn Adair, Chelsea Johnson, Wyatt Ray and George Tilley.

In addition to her husband, Dot was preceded in death by her parents and brother Reuben Olson.

“The storm water system worked exactly the way it was designed. Actually, all the water went to the retaining pond and is slowly going out to Summit Lake. So, we did not flood any houses.”

Lesan presented an update to SWCC Board of Directors at the regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday, explaining the building construction is on schedule, with an expected completion date of July 14, and furniture will be installed July 28.

“Everything is going smooth. Everybody is working together,” Lesan said.

“We’re doing some things that aren’t on the three-week schedule yet. So, that’s a really good sign.”

Spartan Court will house 92 students and may cost less than the originally

budgeted $6.2 million. Amenities include free cable TV and high-speed internet in each bedroom, full kitchen and membership to Southern Prairie YMCA. UCDA contract Bill Taylor, SWCC vice president of instruction, presented a contract for Southwestern Community College’s carpentry program to work together with Union County Development Association to build a house, which the board approved.

“This would be the third year of our project to build a carpentry and building trades house on South Elm,” Taylor said.

The house, which will be located at 501 S. Elm St., will be built during the 2014-15 SWCC school year.

“The program has went very smooth

dealing with Wayne Pantini (executive director of UCDA) and his board,” Taylor said. “It’s been a very good partnership for us.”

The budget is to not exceed $95,000, and if the budget is exceeded, SWCC Board of Directors have to approve the increase. The college would carry the expenses during construction, which UCDA will then reimburse within 60 days of completion.

In other SWCC board news: • Teresa Krejci, SWCC chief financial officer, presented a resolution to direct the sale and delivery of dormitory revenue bonds, which was approved.

• SWCC Board of Directors approved the contract of Stephen Jefferies as English instructor for the 2014-15 SWCC academic year to replace retiring English instructor Dave Neas.

with Burton Murphy — said while they didn’t win the grand prize, he still considers the experience of this competition a victory because of the exposure their Murphy business received. “ T h e publicity we received in this competition far outweighs the Elliott monetary prizes,” Elliott said. “This contest has been worth every bit of effort we’ve put forth. It’s also allowed us to take a step back from our day-to-day tasks and look toward the future of our business.”

Podium Ink — who won $5,000 during the regional competition at Lakeside Casino in Osceola in November 2013 — pitched to eight judges at the state competition Thursday.

Their 8-minute pitch ex-

plained how they would use the grand prize money to expand their direct-togarment T-shirt printing or hydrographic printing for signs and graphics.

“The judges had a tough task at hand because all 10 pitches were good,” Elliott said.

First place went to Tipton Adaptive Daycare, second place receiving $5,000 was Hoover Hatchery in Rudd, third place receiving $2,500 was The Outside Scoop in Indianola and people’s choice award winning $1,000 went to Crown Clinics in Royal.

The best-laid plan for mice and pets Dear Heloise: How do I get rid of MICE without poisoning my pets? We have a cat and a dog, and I worry about using rat poison. Any suggestions? I haven’t tried an exterminator yet, but that might be an option if there’s not a better alternative. — M.B., via email I do have a few hints that might help. Use resettable live-catch mousetraps. They can be used again and again, depending on how many rodents you have. The first step, though, is to do a thorough inspection of your house. Mice and other small creatures can squeeze in through the tiniest of spaces. Check your doors and windows, foundation, siding, vent openings and crawl spaces. Look for any cracks, gaps or spaces where they might be getting in. Fill the gaps with steel wool, and seal any other openings. Then set your traps by where you think they are coming in and out.

Try to deter rodents by keeping all food in sealed containers. If this doesn’t work and you are worried about using other methods, your best bet may be to call a professional. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO:

Others will notice. (Oops.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Disputes about shared property, inheritances and insurance matters might arise today; in part, this is because you want to be generous to someone less fortunate. Or perhaps you oppose someone else’s generosity.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Pie-in-the-sky thinking might create disputes between you and a family member today.

Perhaps what you want to do at home is not realistic. Think about this.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Be patient with co-workers to avoid arguments. Confusion or unrealistic idealism might affect your thinking today. It’s hard to get everyone to agree today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Be patient with lovers and romantic interests today to avoid an argument. Remember: Unexpressed expectations generally lead to disappointment.

Osteoarthritis knee pain? 4 pain-busting tips as the weather warms up (BPT) — If you’re one of the millions of people who’s been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis, pain can put a damper on your enjoyment of warm weather activities.

“I was always an active person, going to the gym several times a week and working in my garden,” says Mary Ann J. age 58, diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis several years ago. “I never sat still. Then, I started to develop knee pain. It affected the activities I enjoyed most.”

If you find yourself planning activities around knee pain, avoiding exercise or still suffering in pain despite your current treatments, these four tips can help: 1. Get educated. Did you know that knee osteoarthritis is more than just cartilage loss? The fluid that cushions your joint may break down and bone spurs can develop. To learn more about what’s going on in a knee with osteoarthritis visit www.healthline.com/ OAK. 2. Make sure your doc-

tor understands your knee pain. An X-ray can tell your doctor what stage your knee osteoarthritis is, but what really matters is how the pain is affecting you. Surprisingly, the stage of your osteoarthritis is not always connected to your amount of pain. Before your next appointment, write down a list of activities that have become more difficult because of your knee pain. For example, is knee pain affecting you at work? Are you not able to exercise as much as you’d like? Is the pain making it difficult to sleep?

3. Keep trying treatments until you find one that works for you. You may be familiar with pain pills and knee replacement surgery but there are many other options. Viscosupplement injections lubricate the joint and can provide up to six months of osteoarthritis knee pain relief.

Older methods of the treatment required a series of three to five injections, but newer treatments require just one.

4. Don’t wait too long

to see a specialist. A doctor who specializes in knee pain can be very helpful in guiding you through all the treatment options, even in the early stages of knee osteoarthritis. The most common specialists

for knee osteoarthritis are orthopedic surgeons, pain management, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and rheumatologists.

Most importantly, don’t give up on finding options for managing your osteo-

arthritis knee pain. “After I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee and found the right doctor, we kept trying until we found a treatment that worked for me,” says Mary Ann. “Now I’m able to enjoy the things

I love again, like gardening. I was even able to take a trip to Europe!”

To learn more about knee osteoarthritis and find out about all your treatment options, visit www. healthline.com/OAK.

from doing what you should to recover from your recent heart attack or other cardiovascular problems.

Cardio rehab — a prescribed program of physical therapy/activity, and nutritional and psychological counseling — improves lives! You’ll live longer, may avoid a second heart attack and reduce pain and dependence on medications. But less than a third (and sometimes only about 20 percent) of you start and stay with rehab, even though places like Dr. Mike’s Cleveland Clinic and Wellness Institute have programs that are usually reimbursed by insurance companies and Medicare.

Our advice: At your next doctor’s appointment ask for (another) referral to a cardiac rehab, and then go meet the folks who will be your rehab team. If you like and trust them, you’ll have an easier time sticking with it. As a bonus, you’ll be able to figure out that wearing a jersey inside-out to a football game only works half the time!

DOUBLE TROUBLE WITH DIABETES Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck were a pretty scary duo in “Double Indemnity,” but the carnage those conniving killers dished out is child’s play compared with the double dose of diabetes currently playing across North America. Today, over 25 million Americans are living with diabetes; 79 million more have prediabetes.

Thirty percent of them will develop Type 2 within five years — and that’ll double the number of people with full-blown Type 2 by around 2020.

The potential health crisis is huge: Type 2 diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, blindness and amputations. People with diabetes are two to four times as likely to die from stroke and heart failure as adults without diabetes. And it costs our health-care system over $245 billion annually. But Type 2 diabetes is almost entirely preventable!

Where do you start? By reversing prediabetes.

“Prediabetes” means your glucose levels are somewhat higher than normal, and that raises your risk for heart disease, stroke, hypertension, and kidney, nerve and eye damage. The smart double bill: Adjust your diet to maintain near normal glucose levels (go to www. sharecare.com for mealplan suggestions); start an activity plan to reach your goal of walking 10,000 steps a day; reduce stress with meditation; and get seven to eight hours of sleep nightly.

Also: Take your oral diabetes meds, if prescribed, and have your A1c tested at least twice a year.

Here’s one time you get a do-over! Take advantage and reverse your prediabetes. In place of double trouble, you’ll have double the health and double the fun! *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

Missed diagnoses In 1921, at age 39, Franklin Delano Roosevelt suddenly developed pain and paralysis in his upper and lower body. Although he regained control of his upper body, bowels, bladder and sexual functions, his legs remained paralyzed. Diagnosis? Polio.

But according to a review of his symptoms, he actually may have had GuillainBarre syndrome (GBS); a nerve disease that also causes paralysis and is more likely to have afflicted someone at his age and to cause symmetrical disability.

In FDR’s case, this missed and mis-diagnosis may not have changed the outcome; there were no effective treatments for either polio or GBS. But today, diagnostic errors have profound repercussions.

Whether you’re seeing your doc for a sore throat or an oncologist following a cancer screening, a new report suggests that you could become one of the more than 12 million North American adults annually who are MISSEDdiagnosed and don’t get the treatments they need.

So ... test your tester!

—Ask about the risks and benefits of any/all diagnostic tests.

—Call for test results; don’t wait to be called. Ask for clear explanations of the results from the doctor, not a technician.

—Make sure every doctor you see knows all your test results — from all your doctors.

—Get a second opinion if you receive a diagnosis that calls for surgery, ongoing medical treatment or even a prescription that runs for more than three days.

Weekly healthy tips Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. and Dr. Michael Roizen, M.D.

—If you think something’s been missed or you feel uncomfortable with your treatment (or lack thereof), pipe up.

MERCURY IN (HFCS) RETROGRADE? When the planet Mercury is in retrograde, it seems to stop in the sky and then change direction, moving away from us (this is the time when astrologers warn against making any big decisions). But it’s an illusion, because Mercury moves in a shorter orbit around the Sun than Earth does.

So saying that Mercury is in retrograde may be a misnomer, but we’d like to think that when it comes to our food supply, having the neurotoxin mercury in retrograde is a solid fact.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, the availability of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has skyrocketed 10,673 percent since 1970! It triggers reactions in your body that are associated with developing obesity, diabetes and bodywide inflammation. But as if HFCS weren’t already poisonous enough, until around 2009 mercury was found in trace amounts in some HFCS made in America. That’s when the EPA mandated that mercury-free technology be used to remove the contaminant.

Is the mercury contamination really gone from HFCS? Well, maybe. HFCS produced outside the U.S. often uses the technology that leads to contamination.

And no one seems to be testing imported products containing HFCS (or imported HFCS itself) to see if it’s mercury-free or not.

And it isn’t clear if they’ve tested all American-made versions, either. So if you haven’t been checking food labels to see what contains HFCS and then putting those products back on the shelf, here’s one more really good incentive! It should make “No HFCS” a rule at your house, for school lunches and whenever you’re eating out.

MALE POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION IS REAL In the 1983 film “Mr. Mom,” Michael Keaton put a new face on the stay-athome dad who wades into the responsibility — and let’s face it, the down-right visceral experience — of taking care of young kids.

When the character Jack turns into a house-robewearing, unshaven mess who deals hands of coupon poker over morning coffee, you’re getting a front-row seat on “new-daddy depression.”

Now, a study reveals that Jack’s spiral down isn’t that unusual, and moms aren’t the only ones with postpartum depression. During the first five years of childhood, 25-year-old dads report a 68 percent increase in symptoms of depression, and more than 60 percent say juggling the demands of work and family, not spending enough time with their kids, and changes in sexual

relations play a big hand in fatigue and stress. And while male post-partum depression might not be as hormone-related as mom’s, its repercussions are as serious. Bonding with your child during those first years is essential for the child’s development, but depressed dads are less likely to play with or read to their kids and more likely to inflict physical punishment.

The solution? We have to stop ignoring this phenomenon, and ante up: This means pediatricians need to pay attention to mothering AND fathering, and offer dads support, which can range from therapy to medication. Moms have to realize there’s a real issue here, too. And dads? Take a look at the hand you’ve been dealt and play your cards smart. You and your whole family will end up winners.

WHY YOU DON’T DO CARDIO REHAB BUT SHOULD If you always get your program from the same vendor at Yankee stadium for good luck or wear your Cleveland Browns’ football jersey inside-out so they’ll win two games in a row (hey, it COULD happen), no harm done. Those superstitions are fun, but you know they’re irrational and you wouldn’t put your heart on the line for them, right?

Apparently, some of you would ...

A recent study reveals that many of you have wrong-headed beliefs about heart health (“My granddaddy smoked until he was 80, so I can smoke, too,” or “Aunt Zelda was really overweight and she made it to 90”), and they keep you

ATLANTIC — The Creston boys track team qualified five events automatically to next week’s Co-ed State Track Meet, winning four events with one runner-up here Thursday at a Class 3A State Track Meet.

The top two placewinners automatically qualify to state, with the next eight best performances statewide earning at-large berths.

Qualifying for the Panthers as champions Thursday night was the 4x800 relay, the 4x400 relay, senior Brandon Phipps in the 1,600 meters and junior Jay Wolfe in the 800 meters.

Sophomore Cooper McDermott finished second to Phipps in the 1,600 meters to qualify.

But it was the 4x400 relay that had the crowd buzzing at the end of the night.

Three of the top seven 4x400 relays in the state for Class 3A found themselves in Atlantic on Thursday — Glenwood, Harlan and Creston. A fourth, Carroll, was ranked 20th.

Glenwood, Harlan and Carroll ran together in a pack throughout the first three legs of the race, with Creston trailing by about 10 meters for the majority.

When Phipps handed Wolfe the baton for the anchor leg, Wolfe trailed the

pack by 10 meters.

It was at that time that Phipps yelled out, “it’s Jay Wolfe time!” Phipps wasn’t surprised by what happened next.

Wolfe ran a 50.19 anchor leg, catching the pack heading into the third turn, and slingshotting off the final curve, around the pack, barely edging Harlan for the win in 3:30.33.

Just .44 seconds separated the top four teams in the race.

“If that didn’t get your juices flowing, nothing’s ever going to get your juices flowing,” Creston head boys track coach Pat Schlapia said.

Panther girls qualify five for state

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

ATLANTIC — The Creston girls crowned four champions and had one runnerup finish here Thursday at a Class 3A State Qualifying Meet, sending a total of five events to next week’s Co-ed State Track Meet at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.

The top two placewinners in each event automatically qualify for the state meet, with the next eight best performances statewide from State Qualifying Meets earning at-large berths.

“Those five, we came here to win all five of those events and nearly did it,” Creston head girls track coach Clay Arnold said. “We were 4-for4 starting out on those.”

The Creston girls won the 4x800 relay, the distance medley relay, the 800 meter run and the 1,500 meter run.

The second place finish came in a tight race in the 4x400 relay.

The Panthers started the night off with a dominating performance in the 4x800 relay with the team of Maria Mostek, Lexie Little, Taylor Briley and Natalie Mostek.

Creston ran 9:54.59, finishing 21 seconds ahead of second-place Harlan.

“Little, we were extremely happy with her in that 4x800,” Arnold said. “We came here to win it and we took care of business. We ran great times doing it. Little, 2:28, that’s what we’ve been looking for out of her for about a month now.”

The next win for the Panthers came in the distance medley relay with the team of Raegen Smith, Briley, Chelcee Downing and Maria Mostek.

Harlan opted not to run the race, so the Panthers had the fastest qualifying time by 10 seconds. Creston cruised

to a seven second victory over Winterset.

The Mostek twins accounted for the other two Panther victories, as Natalie won the 800 meters and Maria won the 1,500 meters.

They each used a strong kick to pull away from the runner-up in each race.

Natalie ran a personal best time of 2:23.05, pulling away from Harlan’s Bailey Kuhl for a six-second victory.

“No doubt,” Arnold said.

“Bailey just got smoked the last 300 meters there. That was very impressive. She’s right where we want her to be. We want her to be in the fast heat.”

Likewise, Maria led Greene County’s Allison Higgins around the track for 1,350 meters of the race, be-

fore flying down the homestretch to pull away for a twosecond win.

Maria ran a season best time of 5:10.66.

“Maria’s 15, awesome,” Arnold said. “She’s back. She came in this morning and we worked out her splits, wrote them on her hand. She said she’d be much more focused if she knew what she was going after.”

Arnold said the four district championships is the most in a single year in his four years as head coach.

Taylor to state; Panther boys advance as team

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

BOONE — For the second year in a row, Creston/O-M will be sending an entry to the Boys State Tennis Tournament.

Last year, Colby Taylor and Bryce McIlravy advanced as a doubles team, while Garret Taylor and Adam Bochart made a strong run for a second dou-

bles berth.

This year, Taylor got over the hump as a singles player, taking second place at Thursd a y ’ s Class 1A Taylor district meet hosted by Boone High School.

Taylor was runner-up to

North Polk sophomore Nathan Greiner, reaching the finals on a bye and two victories.

Taylor will participate in the Class 1A state singles competition May 30-31 at Byrne’s Park Tennis Complex in Waterloo.

Two other southwest Iowa singles qualifiers are district champ Jordan Nelson of Red Oak and runner-up Philip Meier of Shenandoah.

Advancing in doubles are

Dedric Kettwick and Austin Smith of Clarinda and the Glenwood duo of Cole Peckham and Max Chavez.

On the strength of Taylor’s march to the finals and one victory each from the doubles teams of Chantz DavidsonTriston Davidson and Ryan Kucera-Tyler Waddingham, the Panthers topped North Polk for third place and earned a spot in Saturday’s preliminary substate dual against Clarke at Osceola.

Boone gets a preliminary bye by edging Clarke for the title, 23-22, and Creston/OM’s total of 12 points was four more than North Polk, setting up the Clarke-Creston/O-M match for the right to advance to substate play the following weekend.

Last year, the senior-laden Panthers advanced to substate and defeated Atlantic before getting nosed out by Red Oak for a team state berth.

At Red Oak Thursday, Shenandoah finished first and earned the bye, while Glenwood and Red Oak were second and third, respectively, and will meet this weekend.

Creston/O-M coach Kevin Cooper was ecstatic about the team’s advancement as well as Taylor’s individual effort, which had been a goal since he spent countless hours on Please see TENNIS, page 8A

DRAMATIC: Continued from page 7A

“Coach (Steve) Birchard and I were talking, the way Jay ran that, we haven’t seen that since a young man named Mike Mansour. Coming off that last curve, it was a total dogfight.

“We held Jay out of the open 400, to keep him fresh.

Seeing him anchor like that, that’s where the decision benefitted us. Seeing the faces on everybody after that 4x400, that moment is priceless.”

Wolfe had not ran since last Thursday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference Meet because of a knee injury. Other members of the 4x400 relay team were Bryce Briley, Maxx Walters and Phipps.

The 4x800 relay team of Briley, McDermott, Phipps and Wolfe remained undefeated outside of the Drake Relays, running 8:13.59 to qualify for state for the third straight year.

“We started the meet with our 4x800 getting gold and we ended the meet with our 4x400 getting gold,” Schlapia said. “They ran very businesslike. They knew what they needed to do.”

Phipps controlled the 1,600 race from the very beginning, winning in a new season’s best time of 4:34.89.

McDerm o t t Phipps battled with Harlan’s Chris Brace

FIVE: for much of the race, before sprinting away from him in the final 200 meters to secure an automatic state berth.

“That’s been kind of our dynamic duo,” Schlapia said.

“That was a season best by both Brandon and Cooper.

That’s the first time in school history we’ve had a first and second place state qualifier in the 1,600 meter run.”

Wolfe easily won the 800 meter run yet again, running 2:00.30 to qualify for that event for the third straight year.

“He ran a very steady open 800,” Schlapia said. “The main thing was winning it and still having some recovery for the 4x400. That should be enough to get him in the fast heat.”

Briley, a junior, finished fourth in the 400 meters and will have an outside chance at earning an at-large berth in that event.

“I think the wind was really affecting things,” Schlapia said. “The winning time was 52.91. We knew if he could hold on for third or fourth place, he could still get in time-wise. Not sure if that time will get in. He still gave it a good shot.”

Competing with just 15 athletes, the Panthers accumulated 63 team points for sixth place.

“I think we did a fine job,” Schlapia said. “Our State Qualifying Meet was a state quality meet right there. A lot of individual and relays are going to make some noise up at Des Moines, us included.”

Briley didn’t have quite enough steam at the end to hold off Harlan’s Asia Kloewer.

“We both pulled out our big guns,” Arnold said. “For the past two weeks, our 4x400 has not been up to snuff. This is what we’ve been looking for. We’ve been holding Briley back. This is only her fourth week of track so far.

I tell you what, I was really proud of them.”

Harlan edged Creston 4:11.34 to 4:12.49. It was a season’s best time for the Panthers.

Arnold said he was also impressed by twins Jami and Josie Sickels, who both ran on the sprint medley relay team and both ran personal best times in the 400 meters, as they both medaled.

“Those Sickels girls have been a huge part for us this year,” Arnold said. “We had two or three girls that could have been on relays to go to state, we just had more girls than we could put in. I’m really proud of both of those two for everything they’ve done

this year.”

Senior Olivia Nielsen ended her career with a personal best throw in the shot put, throwing 28-7. For the third meet in a row, freshman Kristy Powers earned an individual team point in the 3,000 meters. Angela Drey ran a PR in the 3,000 meters.

“Just really proud of the girls,” Arnold said. “Told them, we’ve had to fight harder for this than any other year.

Makes it that much sweeter when you know you’ve had to work harder.”

Greiner then swept Taylor, 6-2, 6-1.

Creston goalkeeper Sadie Jones reaches for one of her 38 saves against Glenwood here Thursday. The Rams had 58 total shots in a 10-0 victory that ended with 9:34 left.

Relentless Rams finish 10-0 victory early

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

The Glenwood girls put on a dominant performance at a frigid Panther Field Thursday night.

With the benefit of a brisk northwest wind in the first half, as temperatures dipped into the mid-40s, the Rams built a 6-0 lead at halftime, controlling the ball on their scoring end nearly the entire 40 minutes.

Creston gained more possessions and got off some shot attempts after halftime, but the Rams were able to finish it on the mercy rule when Sydney Stivers made it 10-0 with 7:26 remaining.

The busiest Panther on the field was senior goalkeeper Sadie Jones, who made 38 saves against a relentless Glenwood attack that fired 58 shots, including 49 on goal.

Creston managed four shots, two on goal by Savannah Hartman and Shelby Palser.

At times this year Jones has played on the field, injecting some speed into the midfield range, with sophomore Becca Ross in the net.

Coach Kim Lauffer said Jones’ experience was needed in goal against a polished offense like Glenwood’s.

“Sadie was working hard, and our back end got tired,” Lauffer said. “Against a team like that we decided to have Sadie on the back end.

I wasn’t sure the extra speed on the field with her was really going to help us as much

as keeping the other team down a little bit.”

While Glenwood goalkeepers Anastasia Frazee and Rileigh Spahn had no action in the first half, Creston was able to construct some runs to the scoring area after halftime. It was an evenly played match from the 26:06 mark to the 9:34 stage when Stivers ended it.

“There were a few times when we were tired on our feet,” Lauffer said, “but honestly, against a team like Glenwood, I was pleased with the way we played for the most part. In terms of 50-50 balls, we held pretty strongly in the second half.”

Glenwood improved to 6-6 overall and 3-2 in Hawkeye 10 play. Creston, now 0-7 in the league and 1-12 overall, hosts Class 2A 15thranked Winterset (9-2) in another challenging match Tuesday.

Glenwood won the JV match, 7-0. The Rams had 31 shots, including 26 on goal. Creston had one shot on goal by Corissa Kinkade.

Becca Ross had 15 saves and Livi Hartman had nine saves.

Glenwood 10, Creston 0 Creston (0) — Shots (on goal) — 4 (2 on goal). Individual shots (on goal)— Savannah Hartman 2 (1 on goal), Shelby Palser 1 (1 on goal), Hanna Luther 1. Keeper saves — Sadie Jones 38. Cards — None.
