Ernst, Jacobs prepare for primary election

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

A heavily-contested Republican primary race for an empty U.S. Senate seat has turned into a money war between the two frontrunners.

This is the first wide-open senate seat race in 40 years after Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, announced he would not seek re-election. U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley emerged as the

only strong Democrat candidate and will not face any competition in the primary.

In the Republican primary, state Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Red Oak, leads Mark Jacobs in the latest polls according to the Des Moines Register Iowa Poll.

Ernst garnered 36 percent of likely GOP voter support in the poll during the final week before the June 3 primary. Jacobs slid four points to 18 percent.

Matt Whitaker, Sam Clovis and

Ernst

Jacobs

Scott Schaben are also in the running, but have failed to build much momentum. Whitaker is sitting

third in the polls at 13 percent.

Ernst A Montgomery County native, Ernst served time as the county auditor in 2004 and 2008. She was voted into the Iowa Senate during a special election in 2011 and reelected in 2012.

She gained national attention with an ad that included hog castration, helping propel her fundraising efforts to more than $1.1 million heading into the primary.

Creston Library Board accepted an offer last week on the Omaha house donated by Edwin and the late Virginia (Stamper) Van Surksum to help transform Lincoln School into the city’s new library.

The board listed the house for $120,000 in February.

Ann Coulter, library board president, said the accepted offer last week was $95,000. Creston City Council is expected to set a public hearing on this matter Tuesday. Coulter said, also in May, the board received a $5,000 donation from Schildberg Construction Company of Grand River.

“We’re thankful for both donations. This money gets us moving in the right direction to meet the needs of the community,” Coulter said.

That said, the library board held work sessions for a total of six hours May 19-20 to develop a clear vision for transforming Lincoln School into the city’s new library. In that meeting, the board and Mandy Kolesik of Marketing Kinetics identified the needs of the community.

Also, Kolesik identified 16 foundations or corporations that may contribute money for the new library at Lincoln School.

The board will continue discussions 5:15 p.m. tonight at their regularly scheduled meeting.

“I believe that as a mother, a soldier, and a proven conservative, the values I hold dear, and have fought more than 20 years to protect, are being threatened,” Ernst said in a press release.

Ernst has been hit by negative ads for voting to raise the gas tax — a proposal that eventually failed — and for missing votes during the Iowa legislative session for campaigning.

She did miss some votes from required service with the Iowa Army National Guard.

Jacobs A retired investment banker and energy industry CEO, Jacobs has funded a majority of his campaign with his own money.

New York and Houston. In 2007, he was named CEO of Reliant Energy, a Fortune 500 company.

“One of the things I heard consistently all over this great state was that people are frustrated with the inability of our leaders in Washington to solve problems,” Jacobs said in a Creston News Advertiser interview.

“I’m a business guy. I’ve never been in politics before, but my entire career as a business leader has been on getting things done.”

Jacobs believes one of the core problems is a lack of good jobs and wants to stimulate job creation at the community college and vocational school level. He wants to close the skill gap workers face by giving the financial resources to schools to educate the workforce.

“When Americans are gainfully employed, our families do better, crime rates decrease, revenue to the government increases and deficits go down,” Jacobs said.

Make your greetings count Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about store employees greeting customers: “Please tell the retail-store trainers to have their staff greet customers from within five feet or so, not from a distance and not when the customer is looking elsewhere.

I don’t know how many times I have been shouted a ‘Hello’ because the staff person wanted to be noticed.

Instead of feeling welcomed, I feel irritated. Oftentimes, I must twist my neck around to find the staff person who has greeted me from behind my back over two racks of clothing.” — A Reader, via email — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are other uses for nongel toothpaste: • Put on an insect bite to relieve itching.

Do you have any hints for how I can salvage these pants? — Suzanne in Spring Branch, Texas Help is on the way! Take a cloth soaked in white vinegar, and use it to dampen the crease line. Once the crease is sufficiently dampened, use the cloth to press the area.

Set your iron to moderately hot and lay the cloth over the creased area. Be sure there are no stains before you iron.

Depending on how set the crease is, you may need to re-wet the cloth and repeat the steps. Note: Test the fabric in a hidden spot to see if the vinegar affects it before beginning. This is just one of the many ways you can use vinegar. To find out the other ways I use one of my favorite

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, which makes you more emotional than usual. However, it also can bring you a bit of extra good luck! Yay me!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You will enjoy some quiet time today if you get a chance to squeeze this in. Being high-viz can be exhausting. Try to get some rest.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Despite your wish to get better organized and be efficient today, you might be plagued with delays and shortages.

Just cope as best you can.

YOU BORN TODAY You are generous and warmhearted, which is why you care about

the underdog. You are witty and verbally adroit. Because you have a strong need to communicate to others, many of you are writers, poets, actors and performers. This is a time of exploration, growth and learning. Imagine yourself like the bud of a plant. Do not take action — not yet.

The Numbers Game

1

Los Angeles is the 1st road team in NHL history to win Game 7 of the conference finals in overtime.

National Digest

Principal playoff DES MOINES — For the second time in less than a year, Tom Pernice Jr. hit a crucial shot on the 17th hole on his way to a victory.

This time, Pernice needed one more big shot to secure the win.

Pernice birdied the second hole of a suddendeath playoff with Doug Garwood on Sunday to win the Champions Tour’s Principal Charity Classic.

“I was calm all day. I played it with the right edge and I stroked it and it went right in the hole,” Pernice said.

Pernice won for the third time on the 50-andover tour, closing with a 3-under 69 to match Garwood at 12-under 204 at Wakonda Club.

Garwood, making only his fourth start of the season, birdied the final two holes of regulation for a 71.

They played the par4 18th hole twice in the playoff. Pernice won with a putt from roughly 8 feet after they opened the playoff with matching pars.

Pernice’s performance was reminiscent of the 3M Championship last August in Minnesota, when he made a 45-foot putt on No. 17 to win.

JJ wins DOVER, Del. — Jimmie Johnson handled the pothole at Dover the same way he disposed of a rough patch to start the season.

He won.

A week after shaking off a lengthy winless streak by his championship standards, Johnson raced his way to another routine romp at Dover International Speedway. He followed last week’s victory in the Coca-Cola 600 with another sensational run at Dover, extending his track victory record to nine.

Johnson was the class of the field in a race redflagged for 22 minutes to repair a pothole in the concrete track.

“Whatever they put in the pothole, it worked awfully well,” Johnson said.

His No. 48 Chevrolet was even better.

Johnson led 272 of 400 laps, and won consecutive races for the 13th time.

The six-time Cup champion swept Dover in 2002 and 2009, and won races in 2005, ‘10, ‘12 and ‘13.

Brad Keselowski was second, followed by Matt Kenseth, Clint Bowyer and Denny Hamlin.

Kings advance CHICAGO — When it comes to Game 7, Los Angeles truly is the king of the road.

Alec Martinez scored at 5:47 of overtime, and the Kings beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 on Sunday night to advance to the Stanley Cup finals for the second time in three years.

Los Angeles improved to 7-0 in elimination games with its third Game 7 win on the road this postseason. It will host the New York Rangers in Game 1 on Wednesday night.

Martinez’s shot went off Blackhawks defenseman Nick Leddy and fluttered over goalie Corey Crawford.

Panthers finish second at state golf West Delaware runs away with 301 opening day

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

AMES — West Delaware put a wrinkle in Creston/OM’s plans for a repeat state golf championship, opening up a 14-stroke lead on the first day and finishing with a 13-stroke margin Saturday.

West Delaware (622) won its first boys golf championship, one year after the Panthers achieved the same accomplishment. This year, the Panthers (634) held off Webster City (636) for second place.

Clear Lake, which challenged the Panthers a year ago in a tight race, finished fourth at 641.

After one day, Creston/OM, with an 18-hole average score of 306 for the season, was in a precarious position with a 315, while West Delaware had blazed the Ames Golf and Country Club par71 course in 301.

The teams were much more even Saturday — Creston/OM and Webster City each shot 319 and West Delaware shot 320 — but the first-day margin was too much to overcome.

Creston/O-M’s defending state medalist, Carson Whittington, earned his fourth state placing medal by tying for third at 71-76 — 147. Centerville’s Alex Moorman, who won as a freshman two years ago and lost by one stroke to Whittington last year, gained his second state title by shooting 70-73 — 143.

After the first day, Moorman led Whittington by one stroke.

“Today I started with four bogeys, then I got it back together and played the last 14 holes at 1-over,” Whittington said. “But it wasn’t good enough.”

In his four years, Whittington placed eighth, fifth, first and tied for third.

Despite trailing by 14 strokes, the Panthers didn’t seem flustered after Friday’s action, figuring the tables could be turned.

“Obviously we didn’t want to be 14 back, but we thought going into today we could beat them by at least what they beat us by the first day, if not more,” said Panther junior Coleton Hoepker.

Second day Hoepker (83-79) and Christian Groumoutis (87-

85) showed the most improvement from day one, and Hunter Sickels shaved a stroke off his opening day round of 80. But overall, there wasn’t enough improvement to cut into West Delaware’s lead.

“We got one stroke back on them,” Whittington said.

“When we went into today, I told the guys 300 would do it.

We would have won by five or six if we had shot 300 today. If we had shot 310-310 we would have won it. That’s what’s disappointing. We know we can do that.”

Sickels said he wasn’t happy in his second state meet appearance, having often shot in the mid-70s as the Panthers’ No. 2 man. But he still stood proud at the team’s accomplishments over a two-year span, after a shocking defeat in sectionals at Atlantic his sophomore year.

“It was a rough weekend for me,” Sickels said. “We didn’t play as well as we wanted to, but we gave it our best.

What West Delaware did was CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON impressive. It’s a huge honor to play on a team that got first Creston/O-M junior Coleton Hoepker follows through on Please see PANTHERS, page 8A

on the 18th hole tee box Saturday. Hopeker shot a 79 for a four-stroke improvement on his opening-day round, finishing with a 36-hole score of 162 for the runner-up Panthers.

Unseeded Taylor takes 5th in state singles

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

WATERLOO — There’s a new king of Creston tennis, and he did it the hard way.

Playing unseeded as a district runner-up, facing a district champion in his opening match, Creston/O-M senior Garret Taylor surpassed all other Panthers on record in placing fifth in Class 1A singles last weekend.

Taylor went 4-1 in the state tournament held at Byrne’s Park Tennis Center, losing only in the quarterfinals to eventual third-place finisher Cam Long of Dubuque Wahlert.

Research conducted over the weekend with former Creston tennis coaches and players led to the conclusion Taylor is the first singles medalist since eighth-place John Contributed photo by AMANDA PLYMALE Brentnall in the one-class Creston/O-M senior Garret Taylor finished his career meet in 1989, and the proSaturday with a fifth-place finish at the Class 1A boys state tennis tournament in Waterloo, which is believed to gram’s highest finisher ever.

Brentnall was the No. 1 be the highest individual finish in program history.

player on the 1989 Panther squad that placed third in the one-class team tournament as well.

Taylor is the first singles qualifier for state tennis since Tony Hartman in 2006.

“It’s definitely a great accomplishment and I’m very proud of it, to say I’m one of the top all-time in Creston,” Taylor said Sunday.

“What an amazing run

by Garret this weekend,” Creston/O-M coach Kevin Cooper said. “Not too many kids can say they went 4-1 at the state tennis tournament and he has a lot to be proud of.”

In the match to play in the consolation finals for fifth place, Taylor avenged a regular-season loss to Red Oak four-time state qualifier Jordan Nelson, who entered state play as a district champ with a 13-1 record.

During the regular season, Taylor (18-6) had lost only to Nelson, Shenandoah foreign exchange student Phillip Mei-

er and North Polk sophomore Nathan Greiner.

At the state tournament, Greiner and Meier both failed to advance to the second day of competition, while Taylor was becoming the winner of the consolation bracket.

Taylor was third in the Hawkeye 10 Conference singles competition, and yet fifth in the state. Steady improvement, ever since an injuryplagued freshman campaign, was his recipe for success.

“My freshman year I had a foot injury and only played in the last couple of duals, so really my first year was my sophomore year when I played No. 6 on singles,” Taylor said. “I took up a passion for it and an interest in it. I developed and became a better player over the years. Coach Cooper was always there for me to support me and help me work on my own.”

Catching the fever Taking it on the chin

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

Creston head girls track coach Clay Arnold said he hopes the girls on his team can catch the fever like the upperclassmen on this year’s team did a few years ago at the state meet.

“Two years ago, we took 10 events to state, medaled in three and had a state champ,” Arnold said.

“What happened was at state that year, we had a lot of young girls get the fever to be up there on the blue.

Those girls came back and worked hard to get back up there.”

At Sunday’s postseason awards banquet in the CHS commons, Arnold said he hopes the underclassmen on this year’s team can catch that same fever.

The Panther girls sent five events to state this year, breaking school records in four of those events and earning medals in three events.

It was a successful end to a season that had its ups and downs for the Panthers. Now, Arnold is ready to carry that momentum forward.

“The word after last season and through this season was unfinished business,” he said. “It just left a sour taste in everybody’s mouths how last season ended. The girls bough into that determination.

“We’re not done yet. We have a lot of work to do.

We haven’t won a conference team title yet. Two years ago, we came really close to Harlan. We haven’t gotten to that plateau yet.

That’s what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to be the best in the conference.

We’ve got a talented group.

If we’re going to take it to the next level, it’s going to have to be done in the offseason.”

The Panthers lose two seniors, who were honored at the banquet.

Chelcee Downing and Olivia Nielsen will be gone, but the legacy they’ve left behind as Arnold’s first class to spend all four years of their career under his guidance can inspire the team for years to come.

“They were the building of this program since we took it over,” Arnold said.

For five innings here Friday, the Creston and Clarke softball teams battled through a pitcher’s duel in a 1-0 game.

But, the potent Clarke offense opened the floodgates in the sixth inning and went on to secure an 8-0 win over

the Panthers.

“I really thought Haylee (LaMasters) pitched pretty well,” Creston head coach Mike McCabe said.

“They’re a really solid hitting team. For the better part of five-plus innings, she did a pretty darn good job.

We had a couple plays early on that got us out of a jam and took some early runners off for them.”

Through five innings, LaMasters had surrendered just one run on five hits, while striking out four.

Clarke got on the scoreboard in the fourth inning, when senior Devon Carson scored from second base on an Amanda Kindred single up the middle.

“I’ve known them since they were tiny little seventh graders. I have them to thank for helping me and for the things they’ve done for this program.”

Since this was the first senior class Arnold has coached for all four years, he started a new award for the seniors, honoring the senior who has scored the most team points throughout her career.

This year’s recipient was Downing, who scored 643 team points throughout her career.

Strong returners While this year’s senior class will be missed, Arnold said he’s thankful he’s only replacing two seniors as opposed to 10 seniors.

Next year, the Panthers will return 90.9 percent of the team’s scoring from this year.

A strong junior class will look to lead the way for the Panthers.

“This junior class has been a part of a lot of great things that we’ve done here in the last three years,” Arnold said. “We’re going to have an even bigger senior campaign out of them.

We’re going to make sure we send them out on top, which is where they’ve been the last three years.”

Junior Natalie Mostek received the award for scoring the most team points during the course of the year, as she scored 242 team points this year.

And after this year’s sophomore class had a breakout campaign this year, Arnold is confident it can do bigger and better things next year.

“The whole (sophomore) class helped us in many, many different ways,” he said. “Sophomore season was a breakout season for all of them, but the junior season we’re going to need even more out of them.

They have more experience than most sophomores do in most programs, because of

the experience they got this year and last year.”

The freshman class proved to be a versatile class that will play a big role in the team’s success next year.

“We couldn’t have done what we did all year without them,” Arnold said. “This freshman class did a great job of showing us what they can do and how we can use them in a lot of different spots. I think this is going to be a class we can count on for years to come.”

Most importantly to Arnold, a big reason for this year’s success was that he had a good group of girls on his team.

“This is the most special group we’ve ever had,” CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER he said. “It’s just a quality group of girls. We put our Shown are senior members of the Creston girls track team, along with head coach Clay Arnold, who were honored at Sunday’s postseason awards banquet.

GLENWOOD — The fifth-ranked Glenwood Rams used a familiar formula to earn their first trip to the state tournament since 2011 on Saturday.

The Rams rallied from a one-goal deficit against Harlan — two days after doing the same against Class 3A No. 15-ranked Creston — for a 3-1 victory in the Substate 8 final.

The Rams begin state quarterfinal play at 2:40 p.m. Thursday at Cownie Soccer Park in Des Moines against second-ranked Norwalk (12-6).

ment Creston has shown since the meeting between the two teams last year.

“She (LaMasters) did an amazing job,” Diehl said. “I thought Haylee did a great job of keeping us off balance.

She moved the ball around the plate. And they’ve improved a ton from last year.”

McCabe said he felt like his team competed well at the plate against one of the premier pitchers in the area. Now, he said, his team can get into its normal routine.

“Monday, we can get into our normal routine of practice and games,” he said. “School is done. We can start concentrating a little bit on our summer and our games. We’ve got a lot to get better at. As long as we’re willing to do that, I believe in what we’ve done and what we’re doing. We’ll stay with it and we’ll get results.”

Creston returns to action tonight at Glenwood in Hawkeye 10 Conference play, before returning home Tuesday against Clarinda. The Panthers host a varsity doubleheader Thursday against Harlan.

This time, it was sophomore

Thomsen was playing shortstop in the junior varsity game, when a Clarke players slid into the bag, coming up over the base.

“The girl slid, kind of came up over the base and kind of pushed it (Thomsen’s knee) from the outside toward the inside,” McCabe said. “She’s got a strain. Kind of a day-today thing. It was unfortunate.

Just kind of a fluke deal.”

Unranked Harlan (146), seeking its first trip to state since 2006, pulled ahead early when Ethan Knudson finished a header off a long pass from Jacob Petsche in the 16th minute. Glenwood responded three minutes later when Brandon Bichel converted a short shot.

Andrew Staiert headed a goal off a corner kick from

Rams advance to state

SOFTBALL: It was a big run for the reigning Class 3A state runner-up Lady Indians, who have last year’s Class 3A Pitcher of the Year Libby Bemis in the pitching circle.

Bemis finished the game allowing just three hits and two walks, while striking out 14. Creston sophomore Josie Sickels had two of the three Panther hits.

“She’s not going to let you get too much going,” McCabe said. “You’re not going to string hits together against her.”

Creston had opportunities in the fourth and fifth innings, however.

LaMasters led off the fourth inning with a walk, bringing junior slugger Natalie Mostek to the plate.

“I let Nat have a crack at the first pitch, then I thought about sacrificing,” McCabe said. “I thought, OK we can maybe bunt for a hit here, make them do something.

And then we pop it up. You kind of second guess yourself on that.”

The Panthers had runners on the corners with two outs in the fifth inning, with Taylor Briley at the plate.

But, Bemis worked out of the jam, ending the inning with a strikeout.

Bemis then led off the top of the sixth inning with a double to left-center field. She scored on a Carley Robins single.

Robins would later score on a Kassidy Spurgin single.

Spurgin came around to home on an error on a ball put in play by Sydnee Redman, giving Clarke a 4-0 lead.

The Class 3A secondranked Lady Indians tacked on four more in the top of the seventh inning, scoring three runs on a bases-loaded double

by Carson.

“They hit some pitches that we missed, they hit some pitches we made,” McCabe said. “I thought Haylee had a good outing. We have a play here or there, maybe they don’t get a three-spot or a four-spot in an inning.”

Creston fell to 2-2 for the season, while Clarke improved to 3-0.

Clarke head coach Lindsay Diehl noted the improve-

and second. What this team has done is amazing. We’ve bonded over the years. It’s been a hell of a ride.”

Whittington and Sickels aren’t done playing golf.

Whittington will join the Kirkwood Community College team that former teammate Ryan Palser just played on the past two seasons. The Eagles are a perennial national tournament contender.

Sickels will join the Central College Dutch golf team.

“They are well prepared and they love the game,” assistant coach Kristopher “Kritter” Hayes said. “They racked up some hardware throughout their high school careers.”

Tight finish

ond behind the outstanding shooting of team champion West Delaware.

“We’re proud of these guys,” Lesan said. “After the first day, their attitudes were real good. They went back over strategies in how to play the course. They were pumped. They said, everybody take back four strokes, and we’ll be fine. We got second. A lot of teams that were here last year were not even here this year, so first and second isn’t too bad!”

Hayes knew Saturday’s comeback attempt was in trouble in the first few holes.

“We got off to a slow start today,” he said, “but they battled back a little bit. We said yesterday that was the first time all season that we only had one guy in the 70s. We needed more, the way West Delaware was shooting.”

Looking ahead

Creston/O-M wasn’t assured of second place until the final Webster City player came off the course. If he had shot a 79 and bumped the sitting fourth score of 80-81 — 161, it would have been tied, and a 78 or better would have lifted the Lynx to second. Instead, he carded an 89 and the Panthers garnered the runner-up trophy by the twostroke margin.

Coach Jan Lesan was proud of the Panthers for beating a strong field of teams for sec-

Four of the six Panthers playing at state last weekend return in 2015, but the graduation losses are significant in Whittington and Sickels. Still, there’s firepower remaining.

Only one freshman in the tournament finished ahead of Creston/O-M’s Kyle Somers, who placed 26th at 81-85 — 166. Hoepker ranked 14th among the non-seniors at 8379 — 162.

“We have kids coming back who can get us back here next year,” Lesan said. “We have some solid kids already, and

Linda Taylor, played No. 3 singles last year behind the senior combination of Colby Taylor and Bryce McIlravy, who went to state in doubles.

Taylor and Adam Bochart were contenders to go to state as a second doubles pair.

“Last year was a very positive environment, with a lot of talent to work with every day,” Taylor said.

On a rebuilding team this year, Taylor was the clear No. 1 and went 14-5 during the regular season, again showing gradual improvement.

“Garret has worked so hard in the past year,” Cooper said. “For him to be able to see these kind of results is a very special thing to be a part of. There is nobody who deserves it more than he does.”

Taylor breezed past district champion Jamison Roozeboom of Pella, 6-1, 6-3, to open the tournament. In the quarterfinals he lost in straight sets, 6-2, 6-1, to Dubuque Wahlert junior Cam Long.

Taylor said it was a contrast in styles.

“The Dubuque kid had a very different playing style,” Taylor said. “He’s what we call a ‘pusher.’ He puts it in play, consistently, just trying to keep it in bounds. More of a defensive player. It changes up my pace, and I couldn’t

2-0 Saturday Taylor regrouped for an undefeated second day after securing a guarantee of a placing with his consolation match at the end of Friday’s play, 6-1, 6-0 over Bishop Heelan’s Dustin Dorhour.

He started Saturday’s action by topping Red Oak’s Nelson in a super tiebreaker, 10-5, after dropping the first set 6-4 and winning the second, 6-4. In the regular season, Nelson had swept him, 6-4, 6-2.

“That time I didn’t play my best game, and he’s a very good player,” Taylor explained. “I knew I had to use my strengths — ground strokes from the baseline. I felt like I had improved the last couple of weeks and I was ready this time.”

In the match for fifth place, Taylor took a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Kyle D’mello of Cedar Rapids Xavier.

player, too,” Taylor said. “We both got after it. I just put more shots in.”

To make that rise from No. 6 player on the team two years ago to fifth in the state is a great example for up and coming players in the program, Cooper said.

“Garret has set the standard for how his teammates can make it to the state tennis tournament,” Cooper said.

“He has set a great example of how hard work can lead to great things. He has been a great leader for our team the past four years.”

Originally, Taylor planned on attending Iowa State University to major in engineering. In the past month, he’s garnered interest from collegiate tennis coaches and he’s willing to explore those options.

Portions of REA Road in Union County will be closed effective today through approximately Oct. 1, 2014, while construction crews work to replace two box culverts.

For eastbound traffic, the detour heads south on Quail Avenue before heading back east on 130th Street.

The road curves back north and becomes Grandriver Drive. The detour curves onto 120th Street and continues north on Strawberry Lane.

The final leg of the detour goes east on 110th Street, officially ending at Warbler Avenue north of Lorimor.

Red areas on this map are closures on REA Road, blue marks the detour route and white marks where gravel has been added on 130th Street for access for emergency services.
