Creston tent revivals extended through July

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

Tent revival festivities near Highway 34 in Creston — which started in May — will continue through mid summer after Creston City Council voted Tuesday evening to extend their noise permit.

The tent revivals are hosted

by God’s Outreach Deliverance church in Creston and were held during the month of May. The church’s pastor JoAnna Davis told the council Tuesday the revivals include prayer and worship, guest speakers and live music.

Davis said these revivals have been a true blessing to the Creston community.

“People are getting healed,” Davis said. Davis “We’ve helped a tremendous amount people in this community during the revivals by loving on them. We’ve had people give up drugs and alcohol. So we are asking that you give us permission to continue the revivals.”

Davis asked permission to have the revivals on Friday and Saturday

Pastor JoAnna Davis said revivals near Highway 34 have healed several members of community. Some council members concerned about the noise for neighboring residents.

■

evenings in June, July, August and September.

After much discussion, the council voted 5-2 in favor of extending the noise permit and allow the revivals from 6 to 9 p.m. Fridays and 4 to 8 p.m. Saturdays through the end of July.

“But, the music must be cut off at 9 p.m.,” said Marsha Wilson, ward 4 city councilwoman.

Wilson, Loyal Winborn, Nancy Loudon, Randy White and Gary Lybarger voted in favor of extending the noise permit for the revival.

Meanwhile, Ann Levine — ward 3 city councilwoman, voted against the extention stating she received phone calls from neighboring residents complaining about the music noise.

“I have concerns for the residents

to the south (of the tent),” Levine said. “I have heard from several of them who have young children they are trying to put to bed between 6 and 9. That’s not working. The elderly are also very agitated. I don’t know if there is another place you can put your tent, but I think it’s a little close to residents.”

Dave Koets, ward 5 city councilman, who also voted against the extention, said he understands their concerns and these additional dates on Fridays and Saturdays are asking a lot of the residents near Please see REVIVAL, Page 14

Wind energy Three monotower turbines to be constructed east of Creston. Energy produced by turbines will be sold to Alliant Energy to provide power to Creston.

T

he Creston skyline could have three wind turbines by this time next year to provide energy to Creston.

Goodwin Energy Inc. Vice President Kurt Sherer met with Union County Supervisors and Engineer Steve Akes in a preliminary meeting about the transportation and construction of three monotower wind turbines east of Creston.

Goodwin Energy Inc. will be selling the energy produced by the turbines to Alliant Energy to provide power for Creston.

“We sized our project to be compatible with their base load,” Sherer said. “Nothing that we supply can go back into the transmition lines, it is just feeding to Creston.”

Union County does not require any permits to construct the towers, which will be more than 262 feet tall and have a rotation diameter of more than 364 feet.

Sherer said he is required to meet with the county engineer to discuss the best route to take to the construction site because the equipment being hauled in are oversized loads.

“We post a bond so that

if there is any damage to the road, there will be money to repair it,” Sherer said.

An inspection will be done before construction begins and after the last truck leaves to see if any work is needed to repair the roads back to their original condition.

The site has not been finalized yet, but will be located east of Creston. There are several factors that go into making a good site to erect a wind turbine.

“You are looking for good wind resources, so we had to look at the topography of Creston,” Sherer said. “You want to be close, but stay away from heavy residential areas and find a landowner that is receptive to building.”

According to the Iowa Wind Energy Association, Iowa land owners with turbines on their land receive more than $16 million annually in lease payments.

Benefits for Union County The three wind turbines will be an increase in the tax valuation for the county. Sherer said each turbine averages at least $400,000 in tax revenue during the turbine’s life span, which is usually more than 20 years.

“We also bring in local labor and like to use local content — gravel, cement and skilled trades,” Sherer said.

Sherer said the cement used

PROJECT DETAILS — Each turbine averages at least $400,000 in tax revenue for Union County during the turbine’s life span, which is usually more than 20 years.

— Towers will be more than 262 feet tall and have a rotation diameter of more than 364 feet.

— Exact location of the turbines has not been finalized yet, but they will be located east of Creston.

– This project in Union County is one of 14 wind turbine projects that Goodwin Energy, Inc. will be working on this year. for the foundation of the wind turbine project is comparable to building more than 30 houses.

“Anything new helps increase the taxable valuation of the county,” Supervisor Ron Riley said. “It can also be used as an economic development tool for companies that are looking at renewable energy.”

The Union County project is one of 14 wind turbine projects that Goodwin Energy Inc. will

be working on this year. Sherer is working to finalize the construction details so work on the projects can begin simultaneously.

Once the foundation is set and the cement has had time to cure, it will only take two weeks to build all three towers.

“We don’t want to go in, stick up some turbines and go,” Sherer said. “I believe what we are doing benefits the community.”

Wind energy A poll by Public Opinion Strategies shows 85 percent of Iowans support wind energy, more than any other energy source.

According to the Iowa Wind Energy Association, Iowa has about 3,200 utility scale wind turbines in operation. The state currently ranks third with more than 6,000 jobs related to wind energy.

“It is a mature technology,” Sherer said. “We do not have the same concerns we had 20 years ago. We used to have a lot of bird kills, but the turbines used to be smaller and worked at a higher rpm.”

The towers are a single, solid pillar with three rotating blades that max out at 17 revolutions per minute. The monotower is not conducive for birds to build nests.

As the end of an era looms, plans for a rememberance event are set.

Clearfield Community School District staff is hosting an open Oriole reunion to anyone who has attented or worked at Clearfield District. The reunion is 5 p.m. Friday at Clearfield School.

“It’s a death, so there’s been different opinions and a lot of strong feelings, and I think that’s normal.

I think of this as getting together and remembering the good times and feeling sad that it’s closing,” said Clearfield Principal and Guidance Counselor Jackie Hopkins.

Food will be offered at the event, as well as games, music and a bonfire.

“But, when you have a death, the more you talk about it, the more you commune with other people, the better you get through it,” said Hopkins. “This won’t be morbid, but it is an important part of letting go.”

The last day of school at Clearfield is May 27 and the district will hold a materials auction June 21.

OPINION

I’ll see you on the backroads, Booneville This weekend I will be tackling one of the toughest challenges of my life.

For those of you who know me, your first guess of what that challenge may be is trying to talk to a female. Luckily, I already have a girlfriend and another bonus is Pam still finds me funny and enjoys my company.

Hopefully my luck holds out.

Another good guess would working on my next story for Monday’s front page of the newspaper or trying to come up with a column to make readers laugh.

As you can tell, I still struggle with that one.

The challenge I am facing this

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham associate editor

weekend is 50 kilometers of rolling hills along the gravel backroads of Iowa’s spring countryside.

Back in February when the temperature was negative - and I don’t mean my attitude about how cold it was - my friend and I signed up for the inaugural Booneville Backroads 50K. We thought we had plenty of time to get back into shape, burn

off the extra pounds we packed on that winter and even compete for a finish near the front of the competition.

But the winter’s cold grasp held tight and training long distances was a struggle. I was going crazy trying to do workouts on the treadmill and anytime spent outside was in multiple layers of clothing to combat the chilly wind.

My training never found its stride and now my race is days away and I am not where I want to be physically. It is a frustrating feeling, knowing that I had every opportunity to make myself workout, but found excuse after excuse to skip training.

I am, however, still going to lace up my racing shoes, pack a couple energy gels and hit the road Saturday morning and do my best to survive the journey.

I know it won’t be comfortable.

By the 21-mile aid station, I’ll be wishing it was over instead of having 10 miles to go.

This race has taken a new purpose for me compared to when I signed up months ago. I am staying in the race not to win, but to see if I can push myself mentally and physically to reach the finish line.

It will be the farthest I have ever ran. The course will have some of the hilliest terrain I have faced.

I believe the opportunity to push

myself and force my legs to keep moving despite all the factors that say I shouldn’t be able to do it will be a huge reward for me later in my running career and my outlook on every day tasks.

When I am struggling Saturday, I will reflect on my all-time favorite book, reminding myself “..you don’t’ become a runner by winning a morning workout. The only true way is to marshal the ferocity of your ambition over the course of many days, weeks, months, and (if you could finally come to accept it) years. The Trial of Miles; Miles of Trials.”

To my fellow runners, I’ll see you on the backroads.

The Beverly Hills Hotel was boycotted by Hollywood stars HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The View said goodbye to Barbara Walters Friday as she retired from television. The day was bathed in nostalgia. To honor Barbara Walters , ABC just named their New York newsroom after her, and to honor Whoopi Goldberg, they will no longer make her sign in at security.

The Beverly Hills Hotel was boycotted by Hollywood stars over hotel owner the Sultan of Brunei enacting Sharia law in Brunei. It’s a clash of two civilizations. In Brunei, couples who commit adultery get stoned while in Beverly Hills, couples get stoned and commit adultery.

California Chrome will run for the Triple Crown at the Belmont after New York race track officials dropped its rule against allowing horses to wear nasal adhesive strips. The nasal strips open up the nasal passage. Putting them on is a pre-game ritual at Charlie Sheen’s house.

Boko Haram vowed to sell the three hundred Nigerian schoolgirls into slavery for twelve dollars apiece Friday. It presents a huge diplomatic opportunity. Donald Sterling could buy them all for three thousand dollars, return them to their parents, and get everyone off his back.

L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling turned defiant Friday and he vowed to fight the NBA all the way to the Supreme Court keep from having to sell his team. The eighty-one year old billionaire has been banned from the NBA for life. No one knows how many months that could be.

Michael Jackson electrified a Las Vegas crowd in hologram form Sunday at the Billboard

Awards. The technology lets make him more money dead than alive. Paul McCartney saw the performance and made a mental note to start bringing a food taster to all family get-togethers.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel ended his third year in office Tuesday with no opponent to his re-election next year. The mayor enjoys taking time off to give back to the community. Just last week, Rahm Emanuel was at a local grade school, teaching profanity to poor children.

The Nevada State Board of Geographic Names killed a bid to name a Lake Tahoe cove for Mark Twain. The Washoe tribe claimed his work conveyed racism toward Indians. It made Orange County residents grateful they were able to name John Wayne Airport when they could.

The Justice Department indicted five members of China’s military for cyber-spying on U.S. companies for China’s state-owned industries. It’s the start of an Internet war between the U.S. and China.

WalMart just went on Facebook and changed its relationship status to Single.

John Boehner backed off on immigration reform due to suspicions

by Republicans. They don’t trust the president to enforce border control. The only thing stopping illegal aliens from crossing the U.S. border is their fear that Michelle Obama’s lunch rules apply to everybody.

Letters to the editor

The future of Creston’s public library From Ann Coulter Creston

The library board is impressed with the level of interest and passion the community has expressed in the past few weeks regarding the future of the library.

We are aware that the renovation process has gone on a long time. As a volunteer board, we’ve taken a few missteps. When Lincoln School was purchased we did not realize how much change over we would have on the library board.

The Creston News Advertiser encourages letters to the editor. Letters should be no longer than one typewritten, 8.5” x 11” page (approximately 300 words). Letters longer than 15 column inches of typeset material are subject to editing. All letters must include the writer’s handwritten signature, address and phone number (for verification purposes only). Writers are limited to two letters in any given month with a maximum of eight per year.

Once a person becomes a candidate for a political office, letters to the editor will no longer be accepted from that person (or person’s campaign) regarding that campaign or any other political campaign or candidate during the election.

The Creston News Advertiser reserves the right to edit letters to conform to style and length and to remove potentially libelous statements. Letters that are obviously mass produced or form letters will not be printed.

All letters reflect solely the opinion of the writer and are not necessarily the opinion of the Creston News Advertiser.

As reported, the board will be holding a work session in which we will explore the changing needs of the community and how we might, through our renovation and expansion, enrich the lives of a greater number of patrons.

Following this two-day session in May, we will schedule a public forum to gather your opinions about the expanded vision for the future of Creston’s public library.

Please be patient with our new board as we work to make a bigger difference in the community with a minimal financial impact.

World Trade Center Museum opening brings back memories

Policies Opinion page: The opinions on this page are not necessarily those of the Creston News Advertiser. Opinions expressed by columnists, letters-to-the-editor writers and other contributors are their own and may not reflect those of this newspaper.

In February we contracted with Mandy Kolesik of Marketing Kinetics whose energy level and consulting style is much more fitted to the board’s timeline and agenda.

In the past few weeks she has interviewed over 50 members of the community, and has brought to our attention a number of unmet needs that match the mission of the public library.

She is researching and compiling an impressive list of corporations and foundations that are a good match to support an expansion of library services in Creston.

From Jim Stalker Creston

All the attention the news media is giving the opening of the World Trade Center Museum brought back memories of that fateful day when we heard the news of the attack, where we were and what we were doing.

I was supervising, unofficially, the building of the awning that fronts our store, as well as Carter’s Insurance, and then Rod’s Hallmark. I remember I had no clue about any World Trade Center.

When news came in on the tube with the details, I suspect the feelings I felt were similar to the ones felt by those old enough to have lived through Pearl Harbor. Certainly, the feelings were similar but this time, there was no one around to say, “This day will live on in infamy.” The speech may have been missing, but the hurt affected everyone in some way and at some

point.

As coverage came in and the pictures were shown over and over again, I was especially inspired by the photo taken by Thomas Franklin of the three firemen hoisting the flag over the rubble. It was reminiscent of the flag raised during WWII on Iwo Jima. The thought came to me that we needed a life-size replica located at the Restored Depot. I knew the sculptor who had created the sculpture now located at the Methodist Church, but by now, he had retired to New York City. After talking to him about the cost for such an endeavor, he estimated the cost at well over $125K, which was and is, way out of my budget guidelines.

He did mention, however, that if I were to use the inspiration I got from the photo, I would need permission. After several conversations with the newspaper that owned the rights, I was given that right, as long as I mentioned the

photographer in the finished product. Needless to say, the project was forgotten because of the cost, until the 9/11 museum completion was mentioned in the news.

Now I’m thinking, maybe it’s time to look at such a project once again, but using a different medium. It would be nice if I could find the permission letter to nudge the project along, but that might not be necessary as long as credit is given.

Is anyone out there in Crestonland interested in pursuing such a project? I’ve still got an idea or two. No money, but an idea to build from.

Being a fireman or a policeman is a tough job to take on. Whether we know them or not and like them or not, these people, who put their lives on the line to protect us are a cut above the rest of us. A memorial for those lost in the line of duty at the World Trade Center would be a tribute to all fire and police men and women.

My question is: Before serving, are you supposed to once again put the meat back in the oven to warm up, or serve it at room temperature? — Linda S., via email NO, you do not put the meat back in the oven or on the grill after it has rested, because it stays warm during this time as long as you don’t cut into it.

Cooking meat causes the juices to go toward the center.

By resting the meat, you are letting the juices redistribute throughout the meat again. It’s the juices that make the meat more tender and juicy when you eat it. Cutting into meat right after cooking causes all the juices to run out onto the plate, resulting in the meat being tougher when eating. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

Can you safely keep leftover fish and shellfish dishes, and if so, for how long? — Linda W. in New York You sure can, Linda, so start taking home those leftovers for the next day!

— Heloise EXTRA EGGS Dear Heloise: When we buy a new carton of eggs, we usually have a few left from the old carton. We have tried to precariously balance them on top of the new carton, with predictable, messy results.

I finally had the idea of cutting an empty egg carton apart and saving a portion of the end that can securely hold our leftover eggs. There is no room in the space in the refrigerator door where the egg carton fits, but there is extra room in the butter drawer. We know to use any eggs stored here first, as they are older, and we haven’t had any breakage yet. — Jason BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker S. in Ohio MAILING COOKIES Dear Heloise: I often mail cookies to friends.

Heat even series INDIANAPOLIS — LeBron James and Dwyane Wade followed the same old script Tuesday night.

When Miami got into trouble, the All-Star duo bailed out the Heat.

Again.

James scored the first six points in a decisive 12-2 run, and combined with Wade for Miami’s final 20 points in an 87-83 victory over the Indiana Pacers that left the Eastern Conference final tied at a game apiece.

Wade, who had 13 points in the Heat’s 41-point first half, scored his final 10 in the fourth.

James, who finished with 22 points, had 12 in the fourth. Together they helped Miami avoid falling into a 2-0 deficit for the first time since the first round of the 2010 playoffs.

Lance Stephenson tied his playoff career high with 25 points for the Pacers. Paul George scored 14.

Now the series shifts back to Miami for Game 3 on Saturday and Game 4 on Monday.

Minneapolis beat out Indianapolis and New Orleans in a secret-ballot vote by NFL owners for Super Bowl LII. New Orleans appeared to be the front-runner for the Super Bowl. The city was 10-for-10 in Super Bowl bids, and 2018 marks the tricentennial for the city of New Orleans.

Indianapolis hosted the Super Bowl in 2012 and received high marks for hosting the event without any major problems.

Each city was allotted 15 minutes to give a presentation with all the bells and whistles and talk up why it deserved to host Super Bowl LII.

Watson hired to lead Panther boys team

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

One of the two Creston basketball coaching vacancies has been filled, as Brett Watson has been hired as the next head coach of the Panther boys basketball team.

Watson has served as the head girls basketball coach at AdelDeSoto-Minburn for the past four years, compiling a record of 31-60 over his four years at the helm. He was the assistant boys basketball coach for the Tigers the five years previous to that.

“I’m excited,” Watson said on Tuesday. “Very excited and very humbled, too.

It’s a great program with a lot of tradition. And a very prestigious league in the Hawkeye 10. I’m Watson ready to get to work. Ready to get to work in the community. I’m excited about the boys we have returning and to see what we can do.”

Watson was one of four finalists to be interviewed for the Creston boys basketball vacancy.

Creston activities director Jeff Bevins said all four finalists were solid candidates, but that Watson stood out from the crowd.

“Brett came out on top in a lot of different things,” Bevins said.

“He’s young, energetic and wants to get after it. We’re really happy that he’s able to come down. He’s determined that he’s going to do what it takes to get the job done and get us on the road to keep getting better.”

Bevins said part of the reason Watson found the job enticing was because of what the city of Creston has to offer, including Greater Regional Medical Center and Southwestern Community College.

Next year Watson will replace Billy Hiatt, who went 39-28 in his three seasons as head coach of the Panthers.

He will also take over Hiatt’s position as Creston High School’s success coordinator.

“I’m very excited about the tal-

ent that is coming back,” Watson said. “They’ve got some good players. They have great tradition, too. The future is definitely bright and I think we look for big things to happen next year.”

The Panthers return a strong group of seniors for next year’s team, including Class 3A thirdteam all-stater Jay Wolfe. Other members of next year’s senior class include McClain Haines, Christian Groumoutis, Sam Hartsock, Alex Nielsen and Jake Miller.

Each candidate for the job had the opportunity to talk with next year’s group of seniors.

“When we talked with coach Watson, when he came back in afterwards, he said he had an awesome discussion with the guys and he can’t wait to meet the rest of them,” Bevins said. “He’s ready to go. I think he was ready to go yesterday.”

So what style of play can Creston fans expect from Watson’s team next year?

“I think we want to live up to the definition of what a Panther is,” Watson said. “When you look at that picture, I’d like to see that

on the floor. Panthers are known to be aggressive, get up in your face. We want to play that way at both ends of the floor. It’s fun to play that way, fun to watch, fun to coach. We want to be aggressive and attack both ends. Just really be what Panthers are about.”

Background Watson enjoyed a storied high school career at Elk Horn-Kimballton before continuing his basketball career at Wayne State University.

He scored 50 or more points in a single game twice during his high school career and scored 805 points in his junior season in 1999.

Watson currently ranks as the seventh all-time leading scorer in Iowa high school history with 2,355 points during his career that spanned 1997-2000. He ranks right behind Murray’s Austin Halls, who scored 2,360.

He played point guard at 6-7 for Elk Horn-Kimballton, but played small forward at Wayne State.

Watson, 32, will be joined in Creston by his wife and 1-year-old son.

Rated Winterset pounces on Creston

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

For 20 minutes, the Creston girls soccer team was hanging in there with Class 2A No. 14 Winterset.

The shots were still heavily in favor of the Huskies, but Creston was playing with energy, keeping the game competitive.

Then, the floodgates opened, as Winterset pulled away to a 9-0 victory.

Winterset sophomore Bailey Jackson broke the scoreless tie with 18:41 remaining in the first half, and senior Jazlin Sprague made it 2-0 with 12:23 left in the first half.

Just 23 seconds later, Mekenna Lauer made it 3-0, which held as the score when the first half ended.

“The first 20 minutes, I felt like we were competing pretty well with Winterset,” Creston head coach Kim Lauffer said. “They hadn’t scored. We came out with a lot of energy, communicated well. We were aware of our surroundings, knew where the other players were. We improved a lot from the last game in the first 20 minutes.”

But once things started clicking for Winterset, it became difficult for the Panthers to stop the Huskies.

Winterset held a 62-5 advantage in shots, with 53 of those shots being on goal.

“Part of it was they just started playing better,” Lauffer said. “I don’t know if it just took them 20 minutes to warm up, but they started playing a little bet-

ter. All of a sudden, their passes were connecting better. We were not winning 50/50s.

“It seemed like we were tired. We’d worked hard for

the first 20 minutes.”

Winterset found the back of the net six more times in the second half, including three more goals by Lauer and two by Rylee Mapes.

Sadie Jones, one of four seniors honored in a pregame ceremony for senior night, played goalie for the Panthers, finishing the night with 42 saves, several of

which were on hard shots from point blank range.

Panther girls finish third at Hawkeye 10 tournament

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

COUNCIL BLUFFS — Led by two runner-up finishes, the Creston/O-M girls tennis team secured one of its highest all-time places in the Hawkeye 10 Conference girls tennis championships.

The Panthers were third with 18 points as Red Oak won its 15th straight championship with 29 points.

Clarinda took second with 21.

Taking second for the Panthers were Jenna Taylor in No. 2 singles and the No. 2 doubles team of Alli Thomsen and Angela Sorensen.

Also placing was senior Audrey Fyock, taking fifth in a rugged No. 1 singles field won by Lewis Central’s Abby Bergsten.

Red Oak claimed titles in both doubles divisions.

In singles, Bergsten and Clarinda’s Sarah Cabeen repeated in their respective divisions. It was Bergsten’s third straight title.

Creston/O-M coach Kevin Cooper said the team got some of the highest seeds he remembers for the Panther girls, which set up the team for success.

“I could not be more proud of what our team has accomplished this year,” Cooper said. “By tennis standards were are still a young team with

four sophomores, a junior and one senior in our top six. They took third place in a quality tournament.

We left a few points out there on the court, but at the end of the day it was a very successful day for us.”

Taylor reached the finals at No. 2 singles with a pair of lopsided victories before falling 8-5 to Clarinda’s Cabeen.

“Jenna came up just short of her goal of winning the No. 2 singles bracket, but she came up huge for our team in scoring seven points,” Cooper said. “It was a very close match where the last five games were back and forth. She worked very hard in the offseason and

Continued from page 7A

Fyock scored four points in placing fifth at No. 1 singles, winning twice after a first-round loss to fourthplace Nicole Becker of Kuemper.

“For Audrey to regroup and win two matches in the consolation bracket was huge for us,” Cooper said.

“She has provided great leadership for our team the past four years and has had a very solid career.”

Thomsen and Sorensen got the third seed at No. 2 doubles and exceeded that by scoring Thomsen

seven points as the runnerup team. They allowed only one point in cruising through two matches before falling to the Red Oak duo of Kate Walker and Sarah Behrens, 6-2, 6-1.

“What a great doubles team Alli and Angela have been for us this year,” C o o per said. “ T h e y came in today 6-1 on the Sorensen year together. They played really well and beat the No. 2 seed from Denison, 8-0.

They were a huge part in our success today.”

The No. 1 doubles team

of Caitlin McIlravy and Ashley Harris went 1-2 for the day, falling twice after an 8-2 first-round victory.

“Today was a tough day for Caitlin and Ashley,” Cooper said. “They had a difficult task since they had only played with each other twice this year. They have both worked very hard this year and have had very good seasons. We are excited about having them back next year.”

Girls individual regional play for Creston/O-M will be Thursday at Boone.

“Hopefully we can use some of these experiences this week at districts and then use all of our momentum to have a great summer of work and then back at it next spring,” Cooper

the tent.

The council will likely meet with Davis again in July and discuss whether to extend the noise ordinance for the tent revivals through September as requested by Davis.

In other city council news: • Condo project update: The council voted 7-0 to allow Mike Taylor, city administrator, to develop a proposal for the Cottonwood Subdivision condominium project.

This proposal is to have minimal or no impact on Creston’s property taxes and provide the best financial stability to the project.

That proposal will likely be completed in the next month so the council can review it and vote for or against moving forward with the c o n d o project with pri- Sonntag vate developer Don Sonntag of Atlantic.

• Paint program: Ellen Gerharz, executive director for Creston Chamber of Commerce, reported the Paint Creston program had Gerharz 13 applicants this year and six were selected.

In this program, the six homeowners selected will receive free paint to paint the outside of their home. This is the fifth year the committee has offered the program.

“This program is our little contribution to the beauty of the community,” Gerharz said.

“After these six are painted, that will bring our total of 25 homes painted under this program. Those homes are little beacons of pride in some of the neighborhoods.

We are thankful for all the support we receive in this program including the anonymous donors.”

Iowa,” the Iowa National Guard battalion commander from Red Oak said she feels called to serve.

“We’re at such a critical juncture in our nation’s history that if I believe I can make a difference I am going to step in and try and make that difference,” she told about 20 people at a Coralville coffee shop Tuesday morning. Later, she met with supporters in Cedar Rapids.

Before she gets to the Senate, Ernst needs to win the Republican nomErnst ination.

“It is going very well,” she said about her campaign in the five-way race for the nomination.

“A couple of months ago most people across the state wouldn’t have known who I was. We’ve been steadily climbing, Jacobs gaining momentum.

“I am currently in the lead,” Ernst said referring to a Loras College Poll that shows she’s 12 points up on Mark Jacobs.

“He’s come out swinging very hard. That’s what you do when you’re down 12 points,” she said about his advertising and comments he made in a forum Monday. “I can take it.

We’re going to push back a little bit.”

Loras poll Joni Ernst is in the lead by 12 points over Mark Jacobs in the most recent Loras College Poll. a proposed gas tax increase that was not enacted.

“It was a mistake,” Ernst said Monday and again Tuesday about the gas tax vote. “I was wrong on that. I own up to that.”

However, she fired back at Jacobs’ attacks on her absences from the Iowa Senate.

Some, she said, were for National Guard duty.

However the Jacobs campaign cited a review by The Gazette showing that 10 percent or 12 of 117 missed votes were on days when Ernst was on active duty.

“Only in government can you skip almost 40 percent of work and still ask for a promotion,” Jacobs’ spokeswoman Alissa Ohl said in a news release Tuesday. “Ernst in the past five months has already missed more than three times the number of votes Sen. Chuck Grassley has missed in the past 33 years.”

Ernst defended her absences by citing Grassley’s absences from the Legislature when he was campaigning for a seat in the U.S. House.

As for the attack ads, Ernst said it goes with the territory.

“I’m a candidate. I’m a big girl. Let him bring it on,” she said.

HIAWATHA (MCT) — The Hiawatha Police Department discovered a mobile meth lab after a traffic stop Monday afternoon.

Chief Dennis Marks said an officer made a traffic stop at 2:30 p.m. when the driver, 29-year-old Cedar Rapids man Chase R. Gift, was determined to have a suspended license. Gift was stopped in the Road Ranger parking lot on Blairs Ferry Road in Cedar Rapids.

After Gift was placed under arrest, a search of the vehicle was conducted and turned up what was suspected to be a mobile meth lab, Marks said.

“Sure enough, there was a mobile meth lab in there,” Marks said. “Our guys cleaned that up. We

Given the volatile nature of the lab, Marks said officers exercised an “abundance of caution” while disposing of the lab.

Gift was booked at the Linn County Jail and faces charges of manufacturing a controlled substance, driving with a suspended license, possession of a meth precursor — pseudoephedrine, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving without insurance.
