By KYLE WILSON

The primary election is Tuesday. The winner of the highly-contested Republican congressional race will face Democrat Staci Appel.

December he would not run for re-election to the U.S. House.

Those congressional candidates attending Thursday evening included Joe Grandanette, Brad Zaun, David Young, Robert Cramer and Monte Shaw. Absent was Matt Schultz who had a prior engagement.

“The Democrats will play hardball this fall,” Grandanette said.

“They will attack all blemishes on

our records. I’m an elementary PE teacher. I don’t have any blemishes on my record, and I’m as tough as you can get.”

Zaun emphasized the importance of sending someone to Washington with a business background. He currently runs an IT company in West Des Moines that’s created a total of 210 jobs. He also touted his experience as a hardware store owner and mayor of Urbandale.

The third-degree sexual abuse charge against Stoney Avery Stuart — stemming from an incident with a teenage female last July — was dismissed late last month and he’s accepted terms in a plea agreement.

In this agreement, Stuart pled guilty to providing alcohol to a person under legal age and, for that charge, will be placed on probation under the supervision of the Department of Correctional Services for one year.

“Factual information does not exist to prove a required element of the offense (sexual abuse) and Stuart reasonable doubt exists as to the guilt of the defendant (Stuart) on this offense,” according to court documents signed by Union County Attorney Tim Kenyon.

Stuart will be required to pay about $800 in fees/ surcharges. Among other stipulations in the agreement, he will be required to completely abstain from consumption of alcoholic beverages and refrain from entering establishments where alcoholic beverages are consumed.

“We ran the city of Urbandale like a business,” Zaun said. “We prioritized services, cut all the fat in budget, which resulted in the lowest property taxes in the Des Moines area.”

In the most recent poll by Loras College, Zaun was leading this GOP race, collecting 17.4 percent of the vote.

Young explained his experience as chief of staff for U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, gives him an advantage against the fellow can-

Deaths LeAnna Talent Munster, Ind.

LeAnna Talent, 84, of Munster, Ind., died May 28, 2014, at the Franciscan Hospital in Munster, Ind. G r a v e - Talent side services will be 1 p.m. Monday, June 2, at Graceland Cemetery in Creston. Burial will be in Graceland Cemetery in Creston. No visitation will be held. Powers Funeral Home, junction of highways 34 and 25, Creston, is in charge of arrangements. Memorials may be given to the American Cancer Society and Multiple Sclerosis. Online condolences may be left at www. powersfh.com.

LeAnna Eva (Glade) Talent, daughter of Jessie Ada (Coleman) and Walter Henry Glade, was born Feb. 20, 1930, in rural Nevinville, Iowa.

LeAnna graduated from Creston High School in 1948.

LeAnna got a bachelor’s degree from Purdue University Calumet.

At 3 p.m. Oct. 1, 1950, LeAnna Glade married Gaylord Talent at the First Baptist Church in Creston.

In December 1950, Gaylord served in the U.S. Army until December 1952. After basic training, LeAnna went to stay with him until he

went to Korea.

When he returned, LeAnna and Gaylord accepted the responsibility of sponsoring the Baptist Youth Group.

They lived in Ottumwa, Iowa, from 1955 to 1962, when they moved to Bethany, Mo. In 1965, they moved to Munster, Ind., where she currently resided.

LeAnna was a member of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Munster, Ind., Daughters of the American Revolution and Indian Mayflower Society.

LeAnna is survived by her son Phillip (wife Kathy) Talent of Frankfort, Ill.; daughter Linda (husband David) Schur of Lynwood, Ill..; sisters, Doris Vogel of Holcomb, Ill., Betty (husband Marvin) Griswold of Chariton, Iva (husband Jim) Kenagy of Zephyrhills, Fla., and Viola (husband Gerry) Noerenberg of Antioch, Ill.; grandchildren, Nicole, Michelle, Jennifer and Matthew Talent, all of Frankfort, Ill.; step-grandchildren, David and Sara Schur, both of Lynwood, Ill.; nine nephews; seven nieces; and many cousins.

LeAnna was preceded in death by her parents; husband in 1989; brothers, Charles, Raymond and Marinous; sister LaVerne (Glade) Sticken; sisters inlaw, Marie, Reva and Donna; brothers-in-law, John Sticken and Charles Vogel; nephews, Don Vogel, Thomas Vogel and Jim Sticken; and niece Joan (Glade) Flowers.

candidates in this race — a position he’s held for the past seven years. Young said the current government is too big and is encroaching on the freedoms of Americans.

“I’ve been to Washington,” Young said. “I’ve seen the ugliness up close. I know what works and what doesn’t. I know what needs done and how to get it done. I will investigate this government and vote right for Iowa.”

Cramer owns a bridge building company. He told the public his best asset is not having a political background, but rather being a business man who creates jobs. Cramer said he understands what’s ahead — an onslaught of attacks from the Democrats this fall — and he has the courage to stand up to those attacks and stand up for conservative values.

“It’s time to close the sale and I’d like to recruit you to our team for the June 3 primary,” Cramer said.

Shaw responded to the statements made by Grandanette. Shaw said he’d like to set the record straight in that he’s never donated a single penny to a Democrat. He said the Republican party won’t see a lot of difference on the issues from the congressional candidates, but asked those in attendance to vote for who they feel the stron-

has fought for election integrity and in Washington will stand shoulder to shoulder with Steve King to repeal Obamacare.

Iowa Senate Both Art Hill of Council Bluffs and Tom Shipley of Nodaway were also in attendance Thursday. They are the Republican candidates running for Iowa Senate District 11, which includes Adams, Cass and Union counties.

Hill said he believes his values and education will serve the public well and believes the state of Iowa

gest candidate will be in the fall.

Shaw warned the Democratic National Committee has bought $1.3 million in the Des Moines media market for this congressional election.

“Who can stand up to the attack machine of the Democratic party and the scrutiny that comes with being a top 10 targeted race,” Shaw said. “I submit to you that I can. And, I will also be effective once elected.”

Matt Schultz’s regional director was in attendance Thursday. She said Schultz

needs a CPA (certified public accountant) in government.

Shipley said he was asked by the district’s current representative, Hubert Houser, and Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad to enter this race because of his agricultural experience. For a full story on both Hill and Shipley, see the May 29 edition of the Creston News Advertiser.

In that story, Shipley clarified he never operated grain elevators in Villisca, Stanton, Clarinda and Red Oak.

MATURA celebrates 50 years of service

By SARAH BROWN

CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews.com

Fifty years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act into law creating Community Action Agencies and programs such as Job Corps, Medicare, Volunteers to Service America and eventually Head Start, Legal Services and what is known today as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to fight his war on poverty.

Today, there are 1,100 Community Action Agencies serving 99 percent of the nation’s counties.

“We are one of 18 in the state of Iowa,” said Ron Ludwig, executive director of MATURA. In Creston, MATURA is a Communty Action Agency, whose acronym stands for the counties it serves — Madison, Adams, Taylor, Union, Ringgold and Adair.

MATURA is a Community Action Organization that has served southwest and central Iowa for just under 50 years and currently serves more than 10,000 individuals locally.

Despite the 50 year long effort, the need for assistance continues to grow.

“Last year ... at the emergency foodbank, we helped 57 households, or 123 individuals in Union County alone,” said Ludwig. “This year, we helped 92 households, 239 individuals.

That’s over a 60 percent increase.”

Programs Janell Staats, energy and development director at MATURA Action Corporation, said the programs are designed to help low income families become self

sufficient and out of poverty. In many cases, clients seek MATURA’s services because of a situational crisis such as a sudden layoff or prolonged period of unemployment.

For example, this past winter, when propane prices increased from under $2 to more than $4 and electricity usage spiked due to a prolonged cold snap, many individuals could not afford to continue heating their house.

To help reduce the cost of heating their home, MATURA’s energy and weatherization assistance programs came to the aid of many individuals.

“You can save 30 to 50 percent,” said Eldon Starmer, weatherization coordinator at MATURA. Starmer said, individuals are automatically enrolled in the weatherization program when they apply for heating assistance at MATURA. Forming partnerships One main partnership MATURA has forged is with Iowa Workforce Development, 215 N. Elm St. “People know it as the unemployment office, but, it is ‘the’ employment office,” Ludwig said.

The staff at Iowa Workforce Development specialize in skill assessment, creating resumes, training and

job placement.

Currently, more than 300 jobs are available though Iowa Workforce Development ranging from entry to professional level positions.

MATURA is the only Community Action Agency to have a grant funded partnership with Iowa Workforce Development in the state.

“We are fortunate that it allows us ... to provide assistance with education, training, job placement ... the whole thing,” Ludwig said.

In addition to weatherization, heating and employment services, MATURA focuses on early childhood education (Head Start), nutrition and dental services (Women Infants and Children), and stocking their food pantry, which is not grant funded and stocked by donations only.

“There are many programs in this area that were sort of started through Community Action,” Staats said.

Ludwig said MATURA and the other 17 Community Action Agencies in Iowa attempt to focus on services not already being provided by other organizations in their communities.

“Making partnerships stronger is important to us,” Ludwig said. “Our goal is not to duplicate, but to make sure services in a par-

ticular area are available.”

Benefits Ludwig said MATURA not only improves the quality of lives of their clients, but the community as a whole.

“What this is doing is giving people the dignity and allowing them to stay in their homes,” Ludwig said.

MATURA’s economic impact on Union County this year alone has been $2.5 million in the form of paying weatherization contractors, spending WIC vouchers, paying educators and childcare workers and providing direct services and assistance - not including the cost of paying their 90 full and part-time employees.

One thought repeated by MATURA staff members was, “Not many people think they qualify.”

Packing pointers Dear Readers: Whether you travel for pleasure or business, TRYING TO PACK often can be stressful. Here are some of my favorite travel hints for packing a suitcase: • To save space, pack only trial- or travel-size items in your luggage. Save the toothbrushes and small toothpaste you get at the dentist’s office for when you travel.

• When packing, place heavy items at the bottom of your luggage, so they don’t squish lighter items, such as clothing.

• To prevent clothes from wrinkling, roll them. This also helps with space. When you reach your destination, immediately take out clothes that are prone to wrinkling and hang them up.

• Do not pack shoes with the soles on your clothes. Pack them facing out, or better yet, place each in a newspaper bag to protect clothing. Another space-saving hint is to place small items, like underwear and socks, into shoes before packing.

• Leave expensive jewelry or valuable items at home.

Horoscope Saturday, May 31, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today, small appliances might break down, or minor breakages could occur. Something unexpected will upset your home routine. Be patient with family members in order to avoid arguments.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is an accident-prone day for your sign, so slow down and take it easy. Pay attention to everything you say and do.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might find money today, or you might lose money. Something unpredictable with your cashflow scene is likely. Guard your possessions against loss or theft.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You feel excited and restless today. Quite likely, you will make a spontaneous decision that sends your day in an entirely new direction. Stay light on your feet.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) There is an undercurrent of restlessness to everything you do today. That’s why you have that feeling you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. And who knows? It might. (Let’s hope it’s your size.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A female friend will surprise you by saying or doing something unexpected. This might cause you to reconsider some future goals. Or possibly, you will meet someone who is bizarre and unusual.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Unexpected news about your personal life suddenly might be made public. No doubt, this will catch you off guard.

(Naturally, you’ll be cool.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Someone close to you — a partner or dear friend — might say or do something that catches you off guard. Perhaps this person wants more independence and freedom in the relationship?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your work routine might suffer today due to computer crashes, power outages and shortages, and canceled readings. Everything is up for grabs. Hang in there, and cope as best you can.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Parents should be vigilant with their children today, because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Make sure you know what they’re doing and remove them from hazardous situations.

YOU BORN TODAY People know you are professional and that you mean business. You get things done in a no-nonsense way. You convey the image of being tough and cool, although you are softer, even sentimental; but you are physically and mentally active all the time. This is a time of growth and learning. Imagine yourself like the bud of a plant. Do not take action — not yet.

HEALTH

Eyes get sunburned too: Doctor tips for being sun-wise with your eyes (BPT) - The gentle breezes and bright sunshine of spring and summer entice people young and old to enjoy more time outdoors.

Whether you’re spending the day at the beach or just relaxing on the patio with a good book, sunscreen is a necessity when you’re outside. While it’s always important to protect the skin, there’s another sun-sensitive organ that too often gets ignored: the eyes.

“Eye health is important all year long, but spring and summer months can be particularly harsh on eyes,” says Dr. Justin Bazan, Optometrist. “A few simple proactive steps today can have a dramatic effect on eye health for decades to come.”

Here are simple tips from Dr. Bazan that anyone can take to improve eye health and protect eyes from sun and other outdoor elements: Throw on that hat Head gear isn’t just fashionable during warm weather months; it’s also extremely functional when it comes to protecting eyes from the harsh sun. Wide-brimmed

hats are best, especially if you’re planning to spend a lot of time outdoors, such as a day boating or afternoon gardening. The wider the brim, the more the hat will deflect sunshine overhead and from the sides.

“Keep in mind, the sun’s UV rays are typically the strongest between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., so be sure to wear your favorite hat during peak hour. But, don’t forget about times when the sun is along the horizon between the times of 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. which is in our direct line of site. This gives our eyes tremendous UV exposure.

Prime times for when people are outside exercising!” reminds Dr. Bazan.

Sunglasses are a must Like SPF for the eyes, sunglasses are essential during sunny and warm weather months. When shopping, look for lenses with both 100 percent UVA/UVB protection, which will help to reduce the risk of burning your retina, cornea or the delicate skin around the eyes. Want even more UV protection? Look for prod-

ucts that offer an EPF (eye protection factor) certified rating. It’s the lens plus the frame that can make the difference. Solar Comfort sportwrap sunglasses and Solar Shield fits-over sunglasses for eyeglass wearers are now lab-tested for maximum UV protection and recently received the EPF CERTIFIED Seal, which provides more than 95 percent total frame and lens eye protection from the sun’s damaging rays. Visit www.solarshield.com or www.solarcomfort.com to learn more.

“Remember, cloudy days can be deceptive,” Dr. Bazan says. “Even when the sky is overcast, UV rays still pass through and can damage eyes, so always keep quality sunglasses handy.”

Moisture is key Dry air, bright skies, wind, air-conditioning and the high levels of microscopic allergens associated with warm weather months can dry out your eyes quickly.

If it feels like your eyes are dryer than usual, try blinking a few times and make a habit of doing so more fre-

quently. If that doesn’t help, a few drops of an over-thecounter eye lubricant can help. Also, be aware of fans and air-conditioners blowing directly in your face, which can quickly dry out eyes.

“If chronic dry-eye conditions persist, it’s important to visit your eye care provider for an eye exam,” Dr. Bazan says.

Don’t forget about food The fresh fare of the

season is not only bursting with flavor, it’s also packed with nutrients good for the eyes. Next time you visit the grocery store or farmers market, keep an eye out for some vitamin-packed foods that provide key nutrients for eye health. Fill your plate with some of these flavorful foods: • Vitamin C: oranges, strawberries, papaya and green peppers.

• Beta-carotene: yellow

and deep orange produce like mangos, peaches, sweet potatoes and carrots.

• Zinc: beef, pork, lamb, eggs, milk and whole grains.

• Omega-3s: leafy green vegetables, nuts, fish and fish-oil supplements.

“A few simple steps can help anyone maintain eye health and ensure you not only enjoy time outdoors now, but can do so with healthy eyes for many years to come,” says Dr. Bazan.

Uncloaking your invisible roommates On “Star Trek,” when a cloaked Romulan Bird of Prey suddenly materializes in the same quadrant as the Starship Enterprise, it’s a pretty good bet that conflict is in the stars. But when researchers uncloaked millions of bacteria living on your skin, what they found was not an evil force plotting your destruction, but a vast colony of good-natured roommates.

Your gut’s trillion-bacteria biome can strengthen your immune system, influence your glucose levels, affect aging and protect your heart. Your skin biome also is home to countless bacteria that are essential to your health. Researchers on “The Belly Button Project” found more than 2,300 distinct species living there!

And interestingly, fast healers had lots of helpful skin bacteria, but slower healers seemed to have fewer, possibly because of elevated blood sugar levels.

So you want to go easy on the phaser fire: Blanketing your skin with antibacterial compounds may vaporize bacteria that are there to make you feel better, not worse. And here’s more info about the nasty side effects of triclosan-containing antibacterial soaps and other products: That bacteriaslayer not only lays waste to the “just here to help” microbes on your skin, but it’s more than a rumor that it’s an endocrine-disrupting chemical that promotes the growth of breast cancer cells in the lab.

We believe (and so does the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) that hand-washing with good ol’ soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitiz-

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

ers is the essential defense against colds, flu and other easy-to-spread infections.

You want good-for-you invisible roommates to thrive so they can help you live long and prosper!

MEETING THE CHALLENGE OF A HEALTHY PREGNANCY The Midas myth is a powerful allegory: A man can turn everything he touches into gold, but will starve to death since he cannot eat gold. The U.S. is one of the richest countries in the world but, like Afghanistan and Mali, we’ve had an INCREASE in maternal mortality since 2003; the U.S. maternal mortality rate is more than double Canada and Saudi Arabia’s.

What accounts for the increase? Lack of or poor prenatal care affects around 30 percent of American women, allowing hypertension, obesity and diabetes to run rampant and increasing the risk for life-threatening complications.

If you’re thinking of getting pregnant or are pregnant, what can you do to get and stay healthy?

Smart self-care includes: not smoking; achieving a healthy pre-pregnancy weight; starting a prenatal vitamin with DHA three months before conception; not gaining too much while pregnant; eating a nutritious diet; getting daily physical activity; not drinking alcohol; and sleeping seven to eight hours nightly.

Good medical care also

starts before conception: Find out if you have health issues that put you at risk for complications during pregnancy — and address them. Ask about vaccines you need before, during and after your pregnancy.

After conception, see your doctor once a month for weeks 4-28; twice a month for weeks 28-36, and weekly from week 36 until you give birth. (Moms 35 or older may go more often.) Now with the Affordable Care Act and expansion of Medicaid, everyone who is pregnant can get care — and hopefully the U.S. maternal mortality rate will decline.

SPRING SAFELY INTO SPRING AND SUMMER When Hollywood stuntwoman Leigh Hennessy walks up a wall or sails over a 20-foot fence, she’s launched from an unseen trampoline — right into her role as stunt double for actresses like Lucy Liu, Demi Moore and Helen Mirren.

But when you or your kids decide to get launched on your backyard trampoline, there’s a good chance one of you will land in the emergency room with a broken bone or worse.

A new study says that from 2002 to 2011, more than 1 million trampoline injuries (almost all happen at home) cost $1 BILLION in emergency hospital care.

Kids around 9 years old account for most of the fractures to fingers, hands, forearms and elbows. Injuries to the head, back and torso

tend to happen to older teens; they jump higher and more forcefully. That’s why the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons advise against home trampolines.

But we don’t want you or your kids to be less active — just safer! (A new report says that only about 25 percent of kids ages 6-15 get the recommended 60 minutes of moderate physical activity daily, and only 20 percent of adults get the recommended 150 minutes weekly.) If you must trampoline — it’s been an Olympic sport for almost 16 years — do it only with supervision as part of a sports training program, and find out the program’s safety record beforehand. For kids 6 or under? Fuggedaboutit.

As for at-home activities, put up that badminton or volleyball net, or play backyard football, soccer or frisbee. Have fun, stay fit and stay away from backyard trampolines!

SNACK ATTACK — FIGHT BACK AND WIN This spring, when a clever North Dakota pharmacist prescribed a bottle of “monster spray” for a young child who feared the Wild Things lurking under her bed, it took just three nights for the menace to be driven from her room! If only he could devise a “snacking spray” that would keep the monstrous tidbits lurking in your kitchen from attacking your willpower! According to an interesting new study, it’s those extra, in-between bites of fat- and sugarpacked snacks that lead to overweight and obesity, setting you up for everything from insomnia (monsters aren’t the only things that

can destroy a good night’s sleep) and GERD to heart disease, diabetes, sexual dysfunction and dementia.

If you, like most North Americans, watch five-plus hours of TV daily, snack attacks (usually sweet beverages, chips, cookies, ice cream and candy) will find you. And what you mindlessly pick at ends up accounting for half of all the time you spend eating.

Those snacks also load you down with 25 percent more calories.

How can you fight back against the snack attack?

First, become aware of what and how much you’re eating by keeping a food diary. Put it next to the remote. Then banish packaged, fried, sugar-added snacks from your shelves and fridge, and stock fresh berries, grapes, cherries, walnuts and almonds, carrot and celery spears, 70 percent cacao chocolate (that’s 1 ounce a day) and unsweetened iced tea and water. That will provide added nutrients, and fuel clear thinking, energy and a positive outlook.

WHEN KIDS THINK GOOD NUTRITION IS FUN, GREAT RESULTS HAPPEN The comic Steven Wright once said that his mom made only two dishes for dinner: take it or leave it.

That’s the same menu choices offered by researchers in San Diego when they told fourth-graders, “Hey, wanna grow a carrot?” (Take it).

Or “Don’t ever eat bad-foryou food.” (Leave it.) Guess what happened?

In a school-based nutrition program (Shaping Healthy Choices), fourthgraders become healthier when offered fun nutritional

options such as gardening and choosing lunch from a cafeteria salad bar; had nutrition messages integrated into the curriculum; and got their parents involved with nutrition newsletters.

At the start of the school year, 56 percent of students were overweight. By the end, 38 percent. Their average Body Mass Index fell 9 points. WHOA! That’s a super change!

Schoolmates not in the program didn’t lose weight or eat better, despite being told to avoid sweetened drinks and other unhealthy foods. Seems teaching good nutrition habits and growing your veggies inspire; negative messages misfire.

A free Shaping Healthy Choices program toolkit will be available online later this year. (In the meantime, other effective programs include Healthcorps.org for high-schoolers and the Cleveland Clinic’s Food is Knowledge Program for K-2.)

To fund program components that take some cash, schools can run auctions, carwashes or sell a recipe book that the kids put together. Old-school thinking was that vendors and marketers of fast food, candy and soda could put their products in schools to help raise cash. That’s a case in which it’s better to leave it than take it.

Creston Half Marathon route highlights area trails, points of interest Register for the races at www.crestonhalfmarathon.com. Cost is $25 for 5K and $35 for half marathon ■

By JAKE WADDINGHAM CNA associate editor

jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

Mindy Stalker didn’t know she was in a training rut until she started mapping out and training on the preliminary course for Creston’s first half marathon slated for 6 p.m. July 3.

“It was the first time in a long time that I was excited about a route,” said Stalker, co-owner of Curves. “It has been fun to see new things in a town I have been living in for nine years.”

Stalker met with the Creston City Council, Union County Development Association Executive Director Wayne Pantini and Creston Police Chief Paul Ver Meer to discuss a safe and spectator-friendly course that highlighted the area’s recreational trail system.

“I think since the funds will go toward the trails, it is nice a majority of the route will be on the trail itself,” Pantini said. “Once we get the route pinned down for exact mileage, we just Pantini need to keep promoting the event.”

Starting in Uptown Creston, runners and walkers head west on Adams Street toward McKinley Lake. The route loops around the lake counter clockwise before sending participants north on the trail toward Greater Regional Medical Center.

Following the trail past Southwestern Community College, runners and walkers will be challenged by rolling hills before reaching the turn around point

at the shelter near 150th Street.

“You go right past the area that was damaged by the tornado (April 2012),” Stalker said. “It is encouraging to see how that area has recovered.”

On the way back, the route cuts east to the Creston High School for a lap around the track, then back west through SWCC’s campus.

“I really enjoy running on the track,” Stalker said. “It will be a nice break from all the pounding on the concrete and a nice spot for supporters to watch.”

The final leg of the route takes participants back along McKinley Lake on Lake Shore Drive. It circles back on the trail through the historical complex before making the final turn back onto Adams Street to the finish line.

“It will be a challenging course,” Stalker said. “I believe it will be a nice opportunity for Crestonians to showcase their training for a type of race they would normally have to travel to do.”

Pantini, who completed the

IMT Des Moines Marathon last fall, said it is encouraging to host a race close to home.

“This is a great way to promote the area,” Pantini said.

“The running community is getting bigger and bigger, so anything we can do to help provide

“If you can’t do the race, you can still help by volunteering or just coming out and cheering everyone on,” Stalker said. “And everyone is welcome to help celebrate afterward.”

Trail support In 2013, Stalker wanted to host a race that complimented an event already taking place in Creston. She sent out several text messages and organized a casual 5K run July 3 to kick off the Fourth of July celebrations.

“I knew July 4th was already packed with activities, so there would be no way people would want to try to schedule in a half marathon,” Stalker said. “I did an evening race in Ames and loved the atmosphere afterward.”

Post race activities will be on Adams Street near the start/finish line.

The early signup fee is $25 for the 5K and $35 for the half marathon. Stalker encouraged runners and walkers to register early at www.crestonhalfmarathon.com to guarantee their race

“It will be a challenging course. I believe it will be a nice opportunity for Crestonians to showcase their trainingState for a type Iowa Savings of race they would normally have to travel to do.”

for that is a plus.”

Stalker said the event is for everyone, not just runners and walkers.

shirt and finisher medal.

“My goal is to create some funding to support the trails and if somewhere along the way someone finishes their first 5K or half marathon in Creston, that is even better,” Stalker said.

The route takes runners and walkers near the proposed Cottonwood Subdivision where another trail extension is in the works.

Extending the trail Green Valley Park Ranger Alan Carr said the next addition of the recreational trail could start as early as June.

The current trail comes out at the west side of the dam at Green Valley Lake and will pick up in the parking lot on the east side of the dam and run along the perimeter of the lake. It will end at the Green Valley campgrounds.

“The response I have had has been positive,” Carr said. “A lot of people have been asking when this part of the trail is going to happen, so I think people are Carr looking forward to having it done.”

Pantini said UCDA is working with the cities of Creston and Afton, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and Creston Parks and Recreation to create a brochure that highlights the trails in Union County.

“It would be something we could provide at hotels and in tourism packets,” Pantini said.

Rams overcome Panther lead in soccer substate

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Oklahoma City’s point differential in San Antonio this postseason.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Spurs win SAN ANTONIO — Back at home, this blowout went to the San Antonio Spurs.

Now they can clinch a return to the NBA Finals on the road, where they are the ones taking the beatings in these wacky Western Conference finals.

The Spurs took a 3-2 lead in the series Thursday night after Duncan had 22 points and 12 rebounds in a 117-89 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Game 6 is Saturday in Oklahoma City.

Kevin Durant scored 25 points, but Russell Westbrookhad only 21 points and seven assists after finishing with 40 points and 10 assists in Game 4.

Manu Ginobili scored 19 points, Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green each had 14, and Boris Diaw added 13 for the Spurs, who are a win away from returning to the NBA Finals after losing in seven games to Miami last year.

Rangers to Cup NEW YORK — Henrik Lundqvist was perfect on a night he needed to be.

After one of the toughest games of his career, the New York goalie bounced back with a performance that put the Rangers in the Stanley Cup finals.

Lundqvist wasn’t overly busy in stopping all 18 shots that came his way, but there was no margin for error as Dominic Moore’s second-period goal was the only offense in New York’s 1-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens in Game 6 on Thursday night.

The Rangers, who spent parts of the season as a question mark to make the playoffs, are in the finals for the first time since winning the title 20 years ago.

GLENWOOD — The 15th-ranked Creston Panthers took a 1-0 halftime lead before falling 2-1 to fifth-ranked Glenwood Thursday in a Class 2A boys soccer substate semifinal match.

The Rams had won the previous two meetings by three goals each.

Glenwood (15-3) advances to Saturday’s final at Dallas Center-Grimes against another Hawkeye 10 opponent, Harlan. The unranked Cyclones beat No. 8 Dallas Center-Grimes 1-0 in the other semifinal on an Eli Williams goal in the 70th minute.

Creston ends its season at 12-5, but it was a valiant effort against one of the state’s top 2A teams on their home field.

“I’m proud of the guys,” Creston coach Jesus Rodriguez said. “They had a great game and they fought.”

Creston broke the scoreless match when Conner Pals took a pass from Jake Miller and knocked in his 25th goal this season in the 36th Pals minute.

The 1-0 lead stood at halftime despite more possession time by the Rams, who held a 12-4 advantage in shots taken. Panther goalkeeper Alex Nielsen had two diving, athletic stops for two of his 10 saves.

“Nielsen came to play today,” Rodriguez said. “He had some key saves when he trapped the ball. He’s so athletic. He gets to some balls maybe other keepers won’t.”

At that point, the 5-4-1 alignment designed to be defensive oriented with offensive pushes to a certain area seemed to be working.

“We had them where we wanted,” Rodriguez said.

“We were defending, and aiming for those plays where we could play through or get a restart and capitalize. Unfortunately, we had a couple mistakes and that can cost you against a team like Glenwood. We weren’t quite as disciplined with it in the second half. I know guys were getting tired. It was pretty humid and hot at the beginning of the game.”

It didn’t take long for Glenwood to strike in the second half. Brandon Bichel knocked in a close-range shot. Panther defender Tayler Pettit, nursing a sprained ankle from the 2-1 win over CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON

The Hawkeye 10 Conference softball opener for Creston featured a night and day difference between the two games of the varsity doubleheader with Lewis Central here Thursday.

Creston took the opener 5-0 in a quick, clean game, but lost 14-4 in the nightcap that featured five Panther errors and 11 walked Titan batters.

“Felt good about getting that first one,” Creston head coach Mike McCabe said.

“Not so good about the second one.”

Junior pitcher Haylee LaMasters cruised through the Titan lineup in the opener, allowing just one hit and issuing only two walks, while striking out Please see SPLIT, page 11A

Creston sophomore first baseman Alli Thomsen catches a popup in foul territory during the first game of Creston’s Hawkeye 10 Conference varsity doubleheader with Lewis Central on Thursday. Thomsen hit a double in the 5-0 Panther win.

GREENFIELD — Cole Crawford’s triple in the eighth inning scored h i s younger brother C o d y to push C r e s t o n Crawford ahead 6-5, as the Panthers went on to win 7-5 in eight innings over Nodaway Valley here on Thursday.

Creston bolted ahead 3-0 in the first inning and still had the bases loaded with no outs, but Nodaway Valley starter Jackson Lamb got a strikeout and a double play to end the inning without any further damage.

“We got out 3-0 and just sort of hummed around

there,” Creston head coach Steve Birchard said. “They got out of the inning. Their kid was doing a nice job of keeping us off balance. We just could not adjust to his pitching.”

The Wolverines answered back with one run of their own in the bottom of the first, but Creston extended its lead to 4-1 in the top of the fifth inning.

Senior Trevor Luther led off the inning by smoking a ball off the third baseman’s thigh, ricocheting it into foul territory. He scored on a Trey Benson hit to make it 4-1.

Panther starter Kadon Hulett pitched four innings of one-hit ball, issuing four walks and striking out five.

Senior Nate Haley relieved Hulett for the fifth inning and gave up two runs in the fifth and two in Please see EXTRAS, page 10A

Familiar situations arise at state track Amidst all the different storylines I followed at the Co-ed State Track Meet last weekend at Drake Stadium, I couldn’t help but notice a pair of familiar situations come up in races by Brandon Phipps and Jay Wolfe of Creston.

The situations were familiar to me, because they happened to me in my final race on the blue oval back in 2007.

In Phipps’ 1,600 meter race on Saturday afternoon, it was assumed that the trio of Boone’s Chandler Austin and Albert Meier and Gilbert’s Thomas Pollard would take the race out fast, much like they did in Thursday’s 3,200.

That was certainly not the case, however.

The three frontrunners brought the field through the first 800 meters of the race in a pedestrian 2:21.

For Phipps, who was gunning for my own school record in the 1,600 meters, this pace was far too slow.

The race actuPhipps

Vick-tory lap Scott Vicker sports editor

ally began at 800 meters. That’s when Austin, Meier and Pollard suddenly shifted from first to third gear. That trio closed in 2:00.

Back in 2007, my race started out almost identically to Phipps’ race.

Everyone in the Class 3A race just assumed that Charles City’s Isaac Wendland would win the 1,600 meters. As a junior, he was already the two-time defending state champion in the event and had been the top Class 3A runner in the previous month’s Drake Relays field.

Wendland was known for his strong kick, so I devised a plan that would give myself a chance to win the race.

The way I saw it, most of the athletes in the race would be willing to run Wendland’s race and attempt to outkick him in

the finish, even though that strategy had proven time and again to end in failure.

I had a decent finishing kick myself, but I could not come close to Wendland if it turned into a 400 meter race at the end.

I’d have to make my move from much farther out.

That day, we also came through the first 800 meters of the race at a slower pace than I had hoped.

Gone were my chances of bettering my own school record and getting the time I was shooting for — 4:24.

At 800 meters, that’s where the race began.

For the first 800 meters of the race, I had sat on Wendland’s shoulder, not letting him get away from me. At 800 meters, Wendland made a move to the front of the pack and I followed.

Time travel back to last Saturday, when Wolfe won the Class 3A 800 meters.

Wolfe got a clean start from his position in the middle of the track on the inside alley and once the runners hit the break line 100 meters into the race, he

For the final 700 meters of the race, it was Wolfe followed by empty blue track and then ev-

Iowans fish free June 6-8 Iowa residents may fish without a license on June 6, 7 and 8 as part of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources free fishing weekend.

Free fishing weekend allows Iowans an opportunity to try fishing without purchasing a license. All other regulations remain in place.

“We are experiencing some excellent fishing across the state right now at Green Valley Lake, Little River Lake, Hawthorne Lake and our trout streams and our fisheries at Rice Lake, Silver Lake and Lake Miami are being improved to provide better fishing in the future,” said Joe Larscheid, chief of the

Iowa DNR’s Fisheries Bureau.

“We hope that someone who gives fishing a try during free fishing weekend will enjoy the experience and want to go fishing more often and become a license holder,” Larscheid said.

Free fishing weekend is scheduled during what is traditionally the time when bluegills are close to shore and aggressive.

“This is a great time to take kids fishing because the chance for success is pretty good,” he said. The best way to catch bluegills, according to Larscheid, is to use small tackle – little hooks, a bobber no larger than a quarter, 4-pound

test line and small bait.

Anyone catching their first fish is encouraged to take a photo of it and send it in to receive the DNR’s first fish award. The DNR will commemorate the event with a certificate suitable for framing and the submitted photo.

Information on the first fish program is available in the Iowa Fishing Regulations and online at http:// www.iowadnr.gov/Fishing/ MasterAnglerFirstFish. aspx Qualifying fish caught during free fishing weekend are also eligible for master angler recognition.

For bluegills, the minimum length for master angler award is 10 inches.

Congratulations and Good Luck

PANTHERS: Continued from page 8A

Winterset Tuesday, slipped trying to clear the ball, which then squirted past Trevor Frain just as Bichel was there to beat Nielsen from close range.

“Sometimes those things happen,” Rodriguez said.

“The ball was coming, Pettit fell, and that kind of threw off Frain in getting the ball out. Their guy found it and capitalized.”

First lead Glenwood didn’t take a lead until the 61st minute of the match. Ryan Leu’s long pass bounced where Payton Kalambokidis could bang a header into the net for the 2-1 advantage.

Rodriguez switched Frain to forward for more of an offensive push in playing from behind in the final 19 minutes, with

forward McClain Haines hobbled by a second-half ankle sprain.

Frain nearly headed in a close-range shot that went wide right with 6:10 left.

Some hard Panther pushes in the offensive end generated a couple of other shots, but to no avail as the Rams held on for the 2-1 victory.

“Take nothing away from Creston,” Glenwood coach Shane Keeling said.

“I think they had a terrific season. They are making our conference stronger.

Their coach does a really nice job of preparing them.”

Glenwood advances to a rematch with Harlan.

The Rams won the earlier meeting, 2-1.

Steady progress In three seasons under Rodriguez, the Panthers

followed a 0-13 preceding season with campaigns of 3-11, 9-7 and 12-5 under the former Graceland University standout.

“We came a long way and we want to keep moving forward,” Rodriguez said. “We have a lot of our guys coming back.”

The Panthers lose three senior starters in Frain, Gavin Leith and Levi Eblen, a strong midfield leader who plans to continue playing at Simpson College. Other seniors on the postseason roster were Caleb Cramer and Zack Peppmeier.

Pals, who set a singleseason (25 goals) and career scoring record (47 goals) this year, returns with Haines as primary forwards along with freshman Gavin Woods. Two other freshmen, active midfielder Ben Irr and de-

the sixth, as the Wolverines took a 5-4 lead.

But the Panthers struck back in the top of the seventh inning to send the game into extra innings.

Luther doubled and Haley singled, putting runners on first and third. Benson drove Luther in with another base hit to tie the game at 5-5.

After Jaeden Driskell led off the eighth inning with a base hit, Cody Crawford entered the game as a courtesy runner. Brody Frain sacrificed Crawford to second, and then Cole Crawford drove his little brother home with a triple to put Creston up 6-5.

On the very next pitch, senior Brandon Phipps executed a suicide squeeze bunt to score Crawford from third base, giving Creston the final 7-5 margin.

fender Chase Shiltz, return for their second season with varsity experience.

Pettit and Nielsen anchor a defense that returns intact except for Frain.

Leith was an outside midfield starter.

“When we started this process, this year’s juniors were freshmen and I could see they were athletic and pretty skilled,” Rodriguez said. “Now they will be our leaders as seniors. Our seniors this year did a great job.”

Creston defender Kaleb Cook looks for a teammate to target for a throw-in during Thursday’s substate match at Glenwood.

Outdoor news The Wolverines didn’t go easily in the bottom half of the inning, however.

Haley recorded the first out on a strikeout, but then gave up a single and issued a walk. Birchard turned to Cole Crawford to close out the game and Crawford got a strikeout before giving up a single to load the bases.

But, Crawford induced a weak comebacker and got the final out at first base to end the game.

“We had opportunities in the third and the fifth and didn’t get the hit,” Birchard said. “But there late, we just delivered. We had a couple of timely hits. Early season game, you don’t execute everything you’d like to and you do some things OK. Just keep knocking things off our list we need to work on.”

Creston, now 1-1 overall, returns to action Monday at Glenwood. The Panthers return home Tuesday against

Iowa Oaks A relatively new condition affecting emerging oak leaves, called oak tatters, is again appearing in Iowa.

The condition affects primarily white oaks, including white, bur and swamp white.

Red oaks are only occasionally affected.

Damage appears when leaves emerge in mid to late May. The leaves will appear lacy or tattered. Heavily affected trees will produce new leaves that may not have tatters but may be smaller and lighter in color than normal leaves.

Producing replacement leaves reduces important energy reserves. Healthy trees can survive this stress but repeated damage or dames combined with other stress, like drought, other defoliation or site problems may make the tree more susceptible to decline or to other problems.

“Trees should recover unless they are tattered for three or more years in a row,” said Tivon Feeley, forest health program leader for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

The condition appears to be caused by damage to leaf tissue in the buds or as the buds begin to open for leave expansion. The source of the damage could be from low temperature injury.

four. The Panther defense committed just one error behind her in the win.

“I thought she pitched really well,” McCabe said.

“They only hit they had was a little bleeder, blooper into short left-center field. Good ballgame there. Thought defensively we played pretty well behind her.”

The game was still 0-0 in the bottom of the fourth inning when junior catcher Natalie Mostek led off with solo home run into the Mostek bushes beyond the left field fence.

That 1-0 cushion proved to be enough for LaMasters, but the Panthers survived a mini-rally from Lewis Central in the top of the fifth inning and went on to add four more runs in the bottom of the sixth.

Alli Thomsen hit a one-

out double and Alyssa Higgins hit a two-out single, advancing Thomsen to third.

After Josie Sickels drew a walk, Taylor Briley worked an 0-2 count into a run-scoring walk. LaMasters drove in two more runs with a single to right field.

“Like I told them afterwards, those kinds of games, you’re just hanging in there and hoping to be the team that gets that run, because it’s going to be big,” McCabe said. “Fortunately for us, we did.”

The nightcap was a totally different story, however.

LaMasters struggled with her command, lasting only three innings while issuing seven walks and striking out none. By the time Briley replaced her in the circle, Creston trailed 8-3.

The Panther defense also committed five errors in the loss.

Lewis Central scored six runs in the second inning and four more in the sixth.

The Titans scored two runs each in the third and seventh innings.

“I thought we gave too many free bases and outs,” McCabe said. “Walks and errors. I thought we played a big part in their innings.

They maybe finished them, but we’re the ones that started them.”

Still, McCabe found positives in the game.

Freshman Lexie Little performed well at third base and Briley battled in the pitching circle after being called upon, he said. Jami Sickels provided some offense from the bottom of the order with three hits and Mo- Ja. Sickels stek hit another solo home run.

Creston, now 2-1 overall and 1-1 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference, must bounce back quick as the Panthers face a tough challenge in last year’s Class 3A state runner-up Clarke here tonight.

Games begin at 4 p.m.

with the freshmen, followed

by JV at approximately 5:30 and varsity at approximately 7 p.m.

“Got to bounce back tomorrow, have a little bit of toughness,” McCabe said.

“We’re going to face a really good team tomorrow night.

So we better be ready to go and bring our A game.”

Back in 2007, from the 800 meter mark until that break line, I bided my time.

Once I hit that break line, with 700 meters to go, I made my move.

It was a move I’d been perfecting all season long.

No one expects another runner to make a move 700 meters out from the finish.

Maybe a surge, but not a move intended to last the remainder of the race.

I was gone.

Over the course of the next 300 meters, I’d opened up a five-second lead on the field, and Wendland.

Once I hit the backstretch, my legs were still churning as fast as they could go. I glanced up at the video board in the northeast corner of Drake Stadium, at the 200 meter mark.

I could see myself and I could see plenty of blue behind me.

On Saturday, Wolfe did the same thing. On the backstretch, he glanced up and saw plenty of blue behind him on the video board.

“I looked up at the scoreboard and saw some blue behind me, knew I was leaving them,” Wolfe said after his race. “Once I knew I was leaving them, I knew I was going to be on my own so I had to push myself. With 200 meters to go, I was thinking, ‘200 more meters to go to a state title.’”

I saw that blue behind me and I knew I couldn’t let up at all. I knew, no matter how big of a lead I had on Wendland, that he’d be coming for me.

My arms pumping and my knees driving, I made the turn on the third and final curves.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see some of my teammates sitting in the front row of the stands in the northwest corner of the

stadium.

I remember hearing them cheer for me, but I also heard a warning.

“You’ve got to go now!”

Then, I heard public address announcer Mike Jay’s voice over the sound system, delivering me one last warning.

Wendland was coming for me.

Down the homestretch I ran, doing everything I could to hold him off.

With about 50 meters to go, I saw him finally pull up next to me. And then, he was in front of me.

I came up 50 meters short of the dream I’d had since I was a little kid — winning a state championship and getting my picture on the wall in the Creston High School commons.

So when I witnessed Wolfe coming down the homestretch on Saturday, I was comforted in knowing that no one would be able

to catch him on the homestretch.

When he crossed the finish line with his arms raised and pointed to his numerous cheering sections in the stands, Wolfe not only realized his dream, but mine also.

It’s not easy being the kid who got ran down with 50 meters to go for a state championship.

Rarely is there a day that goes by that I don’t think about it, wondering if there was anything I could have done differently or if I could have somehow found another gear in those final 50 meters.

I’m glad that when Wolfe replays his race in his mind, he won’t have to go through the agony I go through every time I replay mine.

By BAILEY POOLMAN

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Opening day looms for CrossFit TYL, a Creston CrossFit gym owned and operated

by Chris Doster of Mount Ayr. CrossFit TYL will have its grand opening Monday with classes held at increments all day. The classes will be held in the gymnasium at the rented former Franklin School building, 500 S. Oak St. Beginner-friendly classes will be 5:45 a.m., 7 a.m., 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m., 4:15 p.m. and 6 p.m. Monday.

“People interested in CrossFit can stop by at any of those times and get an introduction to what CrossFit is all about. They can also just drop in anytime during the day to see the place,” Doster said. “My plan is to show people it is much easier and enjoyable accomplishing our health goals when we do it with the support of a CrossFit community.”

CrossFit is a fitness company started in 2000, and since then it has grown internationally. CrossFit includes aspects of gymnastics,

powerlifting, cardio, plyometrics and body weight movements.

“CrossFit is about reconnecting to that childhood joy of moving our body in all kinds of ways. Our bodies were meant to be used, they are designed for all kinds of physical activity and movements,” Doster said. “I also want our box (gym) to be a place where people can come for an hour out of their day to let everything go, forget about their worries and let some steam off.”

To sign up for classes online and view membership options, visit https://crossfittyl. sites.zenplanner.com/page.cfm, and www. facebook.com/crestoncrossfit.

For more information, contact Doster at 515-201-8698 or chrisdoster34@gmail.com.

Classes will be held by CrossFit TYL at the former Franklin School building, the new space Chris Doster is renting. Beginner-friendly classes will be held 5:45 a.m., 7 a.m., 10 a.m., Noon, 2 p.m., 4:15 p.m. and 6 p.m. Monday.
