LENOX — Two funnel clouds were spotted near Lenox Monday afternoon.

One was located five miles southwest of Lenox and another swirled near Clearfield.

Sirens were sounded in Lenox around 1 p.m. Monday.

“People were texting us photos, and you don’t take any chances when there is a funnel in the sky. So, we sounded the sirens,” Kirk O’Riley, Lenox fire chief, said.

O’Riley said neither funnel

The Elm’s Club in Creston will be closed again today and Wednesday, after a dryer fire early Monday morning caused an estimated $20,000 of smoke damage to the building.

Gus King, co-owner at the Elm’s Club, met with an insurance adjustor Monday, and he said a deep cleaning crew will be coming down from Des Moines Wednesday to begin scrubbing and cleaning walls upstairs and sealing the walls in the basement.

King said he is hoping the restaurant will be open as soon as Thursday.

“We’re going to try to get open before the weekend,” he said. “It just takes time.”

King said the Elm’s Club has been at 108 N. Elm St. for over 40 years and that this is the first time a fire has occured in the building.

King said the dollar amount for repairs he heard from the adjustor Monday will come close to reaching the Creston Fire Department’s damage estimate of $20,000.

When the management team of Iowa State Savings Bank (ISSB) learned that a group of local volunteers was working to expand educational resources for area families, they saw an opportunity to provide assistance.

The volunteers formed The Learning Center of Southwest Iowa (TLC) and began providing services during the 2013-2014 school year.

The non-profit organization provides children who learn differently with the supplemental screening and tutoring services and support needed to achieve academic success.

Karl Knock, ISSB CEO and chairman, knew the opportunity for the bank to provide assistance to the organization had arrived when TLC volunteers Su-

Rural residents in Union County will soon have the option to test their well water for arsenic for free with new funding through Grants to Counties starting July 1. The county already offers free testing for bacteria, E. coli and nitrate levels.

“Arsenic is a cancer-causing agent,” said Amanda Husband, Union County environmental specialist. “There are no state laws that govern the quality of your well water. We will guide them in the direction of the best health decision. We hope Husband they will then follow some of our recommendations.”

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, arsenic occurs naturally in rocks and soil, water, air, and plants and animals. It can be further released into the environment through natural activities such as volcanic action, erosion of rocks and forest fires or through human actions.

“Anyone who has a well they are using for drinking water should have their well tested yearly,” Husband said. “Arsenic does not need a yearly test, but bacteria, E. coli and nitrate levels Please see ARSENIC, Page 2A

FDA tells food industry to phase out artificial trans fats consumer trans fat consumption decreased an estimated 78 percent as food companies have used other kinds of oils to replace them.

But some foods still have them, and the FDA says those trans fats remaining in the food supply are a threat to public health. Some of the foods that commonly contain trans fats are pie crusts, biscuits, microwave popcorn, coffee creamers, frozen pizza, refrigerated dough, vegetable shortenings and stick margarines.

To phase the fats out, the FDA made a preliminary determination in 2013 that trans fats no longer fall in the agency’s “generally recognized as safe” category, which covers thousands of additives that manufacturers can add to foods without FDA review.

The agency made that decision final Tuesday, giving food companies the three years to phase them out.

Now that trans fats will be off the list of safe additives, any company that wants to use them will have to petition the agency to allow it. That would phase them out almost completely, since not many uses are likely to be allowed.

Still, food companies are hoping for some exceptions.

The Grocery Manufacturers

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is ordering food companies to phase out the use of heart-clogging trans fats over the next three years, calling them a threat to public health.

The move will remove artificial trans fats from the food supply almost entirely. Consumers aren’t likely to notice much of a difference in their favorite foods, but the administration says the move will reduce coronary heart disease and prevent thousands of fatal heart attacks every year.

Scientists say there are no health benefits to the fats, which are used in processing food and in restaurants, usually to improve texture, shelf life or flavor. They can raise levels of “bad” cholesterol and lower “good” cholesterol, increasing the risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States.

The fats are created when hydrogen is added to vegetable oil to make it more solid, which is why they are often called partially hydrogenated oils.

Once a staple of the American diet — think shortening and microwave popcorn — most artificial trans fats are already gone. The FDA says that between 2003 and 2012,

out. Take them away.

Other ways to garden smarter: Use native plants “Not necessarily exclusively,” Mendez said. “I believe in a mix of plants if the others (non-natives) are well behaved. But with natives, you don’t need to water and there’s no fertilizing. Little or no hand-holding is required, and they’re important for bio needs, like attracting pollinators.”

Mulch “People are doing more with mulch,” Mendez said, “especially multi-purposing, nutrient-rich mulches that can energize plants while reducing water evaporation from the soil.

Ground covers also help by discouraging weeds and providing a tapestry of foliage and flowers.”

Plant shrubs and ornamental trees “Woody plants require much less maintenance than perennials,” Mendez said. “I can put just one woody shrub in an area that initially supported five to seven perennials.”

Downsize “Eliminate some of that mowing and weeding,” said Brooke Edmunds, an Oregon State University extension horticulturist. “Plant using lawn mixes that work even if they’re not as frequently mowed. Use perennials more than annuals.

Use things that don’t grow as quickly and wind up becoming just another chore.”

Emphasize safety

ing of trans fats on food packages in 2006. But foods that list trans fat content as zero can still have very small amounts, since companies are allowed to round less than half of a gram of trans fat to zero on the package.

The advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest first petitioned FDA to ban trans fats 11 years ago. The group’s director, Michael Jacobson, says that getting rid of the trans fats that are still out there could save tens of thousands of lives on top of those that have already been saved from reductions.

The decision to phase them out “is probably the single most important thing the FDA has ever done for the healthfulness of the food supply,” Jacobson said.

Also contributing to the decline over the years are local laws, like one in New York City that restricts the fats in restaurants. Large retailers like Wal-Mart have reduced the amount they sell.

The FDA has not targeted small amounts of trans fats that occur naturally in some meat and dairy products, because they would be too difficult to remove and aren’t considered a major public health threat by themselves.

LEARNING CENTER:

Garden out of control? Simplify (AP) — Too many plants, too little time? A lot of unnecessary effort can be weeded out with some time- and energy-saving shortcuts, from plant selection to better tools.

“I realized one day that I was becoming a slave to my plants,” said Kerry Ann Mendez of Kennebunk, Maine, author of “The Right-Size Flower Garden” (St. Lynn’s Press, 2015).

“I was working harder for them than they were working for me. So I re-evaluated and started being more responsible about the plants I was putting into my garden.”

Mendez said she made some hard decisions.

“I had some hydrangeas that had been constant bloomers but they were water hogs,” she said. “I’m using different hydrangeas now that require less than half the amount of water the old ones did.”

As for annuals, she found varieties that don’t need deadheading, consume less water and thrive in the shade.

“They give me more pizazz and provide lots of pollen,” Mendez said. “That’s better planting for the planet, and I’ve been able to recover 50 percent more of my (gardening) time just by simplifying.”

Plants are not your children or pets, she said. “If they’re not performing up to your standards — if they take too much time and effort — don’t make any excuses for them. Tear them

Association, the main trade group for the food industry, is working with companies on a petition that would formally ask the FDA if it can say there is a “reasonable certainty of no harm” from some specific uses of the fats.

The group said in a statement after the announcement that it is pleased with the FDA’s three-year compliance period, which “minimizes unnecessary disruptions to commerce.” The group has not specified what the industry plans to ask for, but has said the FDA encouraged food companies to submit a petition.

Trans fats are widely considered the worst kind for your heart, even worse than saturated fats, which also can contribute to heart disease. Over the years, they have been used in foods like frostings, which need solid fat for texture, or in those that need a longer shelf life or flavor enhancement.

They also have been used by restaurants for frying. Many larger chains have stopped using them, but smaller restaurants may still get food containing trans fats from suppliers.

The industry’s reduction in trans fats was helped along by FDA’s decision to force label-

“Avoid acute and chronic repetitive strain injuries,” said Anne Lindsay, an associate professor and exercise physiologist with University of Nevada-Reno Cooperative Extension. If it’s the end of the day and there’s just one tree left to prune, don’t feel compelled to do it. “Your body is tired but you want to finish it,” said Lindsay. “That’s when injuries happen, or the repetitive strain.”

Choose better tools “Bring your raised beds up to a comfortable working height,” Lindsay said.

“Get tools with larger handles that discourage strong gripping and ease pain.”

Less effort can deliver more results with simplified but thoughtful yard work, Mendez said.

life-long learners. The Learning Center has researched common learning differences, studied successful strategies of other centers and identified approaches and programs that will best fit the needs of their students.

“The Learning Center of Southwest Iowa is incredibly grateful to Iowa State Savings Bank for their generous donation of $10,000 to purchase the Susan Barton Reading System. The Barton System provides TLC the capacity to train teachers in-house. ISSB’s contribution has allowed TLC to hire and train four additional teachers to begin working with students this summer,” TLC Director Suzanne Johnston said.

can change.”

The two tests required for determining if there is arsenic present and what type of arsenic it is would typically cost $75. If the tests comes back positive, it is the landowners responsibility to take action to filter the water before using it for drinking or cooking.

“It seems like a lot of folks may not be aware of it,” said Union County Supervisor Dennis Brown. “When you test for specific things, a lot of them have probably never been tested for arsenic ... now that it is on our radar, it would be good for people to take advantage of the testing.”

Husband said boiling water does not remove arsenic, it actually makes it more concentrated. Arsenic can be removed through reverse osmosis or avoided by switching to rural water.

“Sometimes you can notice

changes in taste with bacteria or E. coli,” Husband said.

“With arsenic, there is no taste, no color change. You have to test the water or go to the doctor and your symptoms may show arsenic poisoning.”

The EPA lists multiple symptoms for human exposure to arsenic. Short or acute effects can occur within hours or days of exposure.

Long or chronic effects occur over many years. Long term exposure to arsenic has been linked to cancer of the bladder, lungs, skin, kidneys, nasal passages, liver and prostate.

Short term exposure to high doses of arsenic can cause other adverse health effects. Husband said re-

search does not clearly show how long or at what exposure level arsenic can be a health risk.

“Your best option is to just avoid it completely,” Husband said.

The number of wells in Union County is unknown.

Husband said the Grants for Counties can help plug old wells. Brick-walled wells are more likely to have arsenic present because they do not have as tight of a seal as more modern, concrete wells.

“It is hard to tell by just looking at a well if you could have high levels of arsenic,” Husband said. “Your neighbor’s well could be fine, but your well could test positive ... the best option is to just have the test done.”

OPINION Don’t worry, the books are still working

“Avengers: Age of Ultron” had it all wrong.

If machines really wanted to take over the world, they wouldn’t need to go to all that trouble mass-producing robots to wipe out mankind. They wouldn’t need artificial intelligence, laser guns or alien technology to help them out.

All they’d need to do is shut down the Internet.

As a resident of Afton, I lucked out this weekend. We lost Internet for awhile at my house Thursday afternoon, but after that we didn’t experience any problems. I’m sure there’s a cheap-shot town rivalry joke in there somewhere, but for now I’ll let it go.

Ian’s inklings Ian Richardson staff writer

When I walked into the library to grab some books Saturday — trying to catch up on the summer reading program that I’m already behind on — I realized that several places around the Creston area were still operating without it. My first clue was the library’s playful yet profound sign informing patrons that the Internet was down, “but the books are still working.”

I couldn’t help but chuckle at

the sign and give kudos to the librarians for handling the situation so well. But that sign also got me to thinking about what else is “still working” when the online world goes down, and how sometimes I just don’t take the time to appreciate it until it does.

It made me cast my mind back to college, on the nights when the notorious campus server would konk out unexpectedly. We complained because we couldn’t work on our papers, although what we really meant was we couldn’t watch Netflix. It was terribly inconvenient.

But those evenings, strangely enough, are also some of the most memorable I had back then.

The guys would congregate in the

hall, sit outside our doors and talk about everything and nothing at the same time. Even though the Internet was down, our friendships were definitely “still working.”

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we need to go back to the stone age and completely disconnect ourselves from the Internet. The web connects us with an efficiency that face-to-face conversation never could, especially in the business world. I’m a supporter of getting it to as many people as we can and keeping it up and running at the best speeds possible.

But what I am saying is that sometimes our personal dependence on the finicky world of cyberspace comes at the expense of

noticing some beautiful pieces of life that lie beyond our computer or phone screens. Can I enjoy this sunrise without Instagraming it? Do I really need to check Facebook one more time? What if I spent more time talking to the people who are here with me right now, instead?

Because while the Internet will go down from time to time, our interpersonal relationships will, like the books at the library, always be “still working.”

On a completely different note, I’m now on day 16 without coffee and enjoying life infinitely better than I was on day one. Thanks for the support.

Monica Lewinsky agreed to be an ambassador and an advisor HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Los Angeles Times said the president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP Rachel Dolezal was outed by her parents as a Caucasian. They say she always felt like a black girl trapped inside a white girl’s skin. Next month she’ll be on the cover of Vanity Fair declaring that her name is LaCaitlyn.

The Southern Baptist Convention will meet in Columbus this week with thousands of preachers, church leaders and delegates in attendance. It’s a stalwart sect. They say in the South you should always go fishing with at least two Baptists, because if you go fishing with one, he’ll drink all your beer.

Monica Lewinsky agreed to be an ambassador and an advisor for an anti-bullying organization called Bystander Revolution and give speeches at their conferences. It’s so hard to believe that Monica is now forty. It seems like it was just yesterday she was crawling around on the floor of the Oval Office.

Porn movie superstar Jenna Jameson announced Wednesday

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

that she has decided to convert to the Jewish faith. She plans to consult with the leading rabbis in Los Angeles and see if her conversion to Judaism affects her career choices. It could very well mean no more uncircumcised men in her life.

Russia’s president Vladimir Putin paid his first-ever visit to the Vatican Thursday where he met with Pope Francis for over an hour.

It was a historic meeting. Witnesses say for the first time in forty years, Vladimir Putin was not wearing a gun, and for the first time in two thousand years, the pope was.

Fox News host Sean Hannity reported that Hillary Clinton is returning to Los Angeles for more fundraisers because she’s hasn’t yet sewn up the entertainment industry vote. He said Hollywood is home to tens of thousands of arrogant, self-important, pampered elitists.

He sounds just like my butler.

Partisan plan threatens military pay People come to Washington, D.C., from all across the country – many of them are good people that are here for the right reasons.

We debate the issues and while we may have disagreements, at the end of the day, most are committed to representing their constituents back home and getting things done.

That’s why I came here – to work together because it’s time for action. I approach every day with the goal of moving our great country forward. I approach the issues as a watchdog conservative, because I am committed to standing up for the hardworking taxpayer. My mission is to be effective, because we need results in Washington.

The American people expect leadership, they expect action.

There are a lot of patriots here in this city with a deep love of country. But there are some who are much more cynical. Unfortunately, there are a few in Congress who are intent to play games with the most basic function of our government – at the expense of those brave souls who are already risking life and limb for their country – just to score political points and pursue a partisan agenda.

You may have seen the reports that there is a faction in Congress that plans to hold up funding for

U.S. Congressman David Young Republican

our troops to use them as leverage to force tax increases and more government spending. There are some things that should be off-limits even in Washington and this is one of them. It should be no surprise this strategy was hatched behind closed doors, carefully coordinated to gain as much as possible off the backs of our men and women in uniform.

The plan is to stop a defense bill that pays our troops, cares for their families back home, and provides them the equipment necessary to keep them safe in faraway lands. They would do this in hopes of forcing concessions on the budget agreed to by Congress and President Obama several years ago. Some in Congress are so focused on their own partisan goals they have lost touch with why we are here.

One senator said, it’s a ‘waste of time’ to take up the defense bill, a bill that passed out of the Senate Armed Service Committee with overwhelming support, after the House passed its bill in a biparti-

san vote. They are willing to hold hostage our service members’ pay and equipment to force tax increases and more spending on government bureaucracies.

I wish this was a tall tale, but it is far too real. There are some in Congress planning to cut off our troops’ supply line in order to pursue their own agenda. This is a new low. But it makes me more determined than ever to deliver a more efficient, effective and accountable federal government – one that works for the American people.

Men and women in uniform put their lives on the line to protect this great nation and they never shy away from their duty. Contrary to some here in Washington with partisan machinations, Congress has a duty of its own – to listen to the voice of the American people and support our armed forces.

I want you to know my door is always open to anyone that wants to work with me.

Iowa’s Third District Congressman David Young proudly represents all the people from the 16 counties in southwest and central Iowa in the United States House of Representatives. He is dedicated to bringing effective, Iowa commonsense to your federal government.

We like to hear from you!

Look to craft shows and shops for last-minute gifts for Dad Handmade speaks of time and care; these items don’t roll off conveyer belts.

■

(AP) — From handmade ties to wooden cuff links, it’s easy to find last-minute, hand-crafted gifts for Father’s Day at small businesses, craft shows and online shops.

Handmade speaks of time and care; these items don’t roll off conveyer belts. Find a weekend crafts market or do an online search of your neighborhood to find gifts.

Or visit an online handmade marketplace, such as Aftcra, ArtFire or Zibbet.

In Denver, where I live, businesses that gear their handicrafts at dudes seem to be thriving; an art studio, Ink Lounge, began holding “ManCraft” markets four years ago.

The latest is ManCraftival — to be held on Saturday, one day before Father’s Day. It includes more than 45 hawkers of “manly” handiwork, including beard oil, designer ketchup, ceramic mugs with a superhero theme, even “mantiques” and “vintage” beer-can crafts.

Knotty Tie Co. is a team of young creative types who make ties of any width and length, including bow ties and pocket squares.

The company, launched in 2013 with a Kickstarter funding campaign, offers its own colorful patterns, but much of its business comes from custom orders.

Have an idea for a tie?

Knotty Tie’s team will design it, digitally print the fabric and sew it.

It serves wedding parties and companies looking to highlight a logo, and can also customize a single tie or bow tie for $45.

“We thought ties had become meaningless,” says Knotty Tie co-founder Jeremy Priest. “Just the way they were being made and sold . our experience of partnering in the design really makes the product more meaningful.”

He and business partner Mark Johnson have another agenda: to provide work for skilled refugees living in Denver.

Eight of Knotty Tie’s 16 full-time employees are refugees from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iraq and elsewhere, and many are learning English on the job.

“We thought we could partner with the resettlement agencies to provide opportunities,” Priest said.

Another business, Winter Session, began when the recession slowed co-founder Roy Katz’s architectural projects in 2009.

He had “that extra ‘free’ time combined with his desire to start working with his hands again,” says his wife and company co-founder, Tanya Fleisher.

Winter Session’s canvas bags, backpacks and Dopp kits (men’s toiletries travel bags), leather wallets, small cases and notebook covers look decidedly architectural.

The vibe is “subtle, toneddown and timeless,” says Fleisher.

“We more actively market to men,” she says. “Guys

It serves wedding parties and companies looking to highlight a logo, and can also customize a single tie or bow tie for $45. typically will not buy anything they think is marketed to women ... but women will buy anything.”

Winter Session products incorporate sturdy materials — natural and waxed canvas, leather — that will age well, says Fleisher.

“We really are concerned with making things that are functional and durable and actually work,” she says.

“We like to think of our products as companions — you really start to depend on them. They wear and show marks of your adventures.”

William Bussard was an out-of-work architect in 2008 when he created a necklace for his wife using electrical conduit and old wood that he found in his garage.

“I wrote her a little story about it,” recalls Bussard.

“And she loved it.”

Many necklaces, cuff links and belt buckles later, Bussard steers Bussard Designs at the online shop Etsy.

His handiwork also looks architectural: Lines are simple, crisp and clean.

He works with aluminum, reclaimed wood (mostly walnut) and even old shotgun shells.

The shell casings in Bussard’s “shotgun wedding” cuff links look old because they are: His father digs the casings — many which date to the 1890s — out of the dirt on the family’s Texas pan-

handle ranch.

Just in the Denver area, other businesses that fashion gifts for Dad include Strongwater small-batch bitters and botanicals for flavoring cocktails; and Live Beautifully, another husbandand-wife duo who craft perfumes, colognes and natural deodorants, some in “masculine” scents such as Fresh Mountain Timber.

Take heed of recalls Dear Readers: There seem to be more and more RECALLS for products every day — cars, appliances, pet food, medical devices and food! What to do? Ignore, or pay attention? Keep the following in mind: * Most recalls are announced because of a safety issue. There is a reason, so listen up! * Don’t ignore a mailed recall notice. Read it and decide what to do. * If you buy a product with a registration card, mailing it back will allow the manufacturer to notify you if there is a recall. * Don’t tune out news stories about recalls, especially food- and medicine-related ones. * An indispensable website you can trust is www.Recalls. gov for your peace of mind. It lists recalls by different agencies in one place.

They are flexible, very strong and don’t deteriorate. — J.E., Brinklow, Md. COFFEE FILTERS Dear Heloise: Store basket-style coffee filters upside down.

gal a hint. I have a bunch of lip liners and eyeliners in my makeup drawer “topless” and with smashed points. No longer! Thanks so much! — Heloise TWO GOOD HINTS Dear Heloise: I was a bachelor for many years. I’ve learned when transferring clothes from the washer to the dryer to shake out each piece, including socks and washcloths (it’s a good time to turn items right side out). Fewer wrinkles will appear.

Also, store super glue so the tube is standing up. Gravity will pull the excess glue from the top downward. This keeps the hole at the top free from glue that inevitably hardens, making the rest unusable. The glue will last much longer. — Richard M., Zanesville, Ohio You are correct! Throwing a lump of wet clothes in the dryer is counterproductive!

Also, don’t overload or stuff the dryer. The clothes can’t move around freely, and they come out wrinkled. Stand the glue up at attention! Thanks! (c)2015 by King Features — Heloise Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE®

The Blackhawks are just the 2nd team in NHL history to beat 4 100-point teams on the way to winning the Stanley Cup.

National Digest

Cup champs CHICAGO — Showing off their grit and determination, the Chicago Blackhawks finally put away the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup finals.

The city of broad shoulders, strong enough to carry the silver trophy once again. A Windy City party 77 years in the making.

Duncan Keith scored in the second period and directed a dominant defense that shut down Tampa Bay’s high-scoring attack, and the Blackhawks beat the Lightning 2-0 in Game 6 on Monday night for their third NHL title in the past six seasons.

Patrick Kane had a goal and an assist, helping the Blackhawks clinch the Cup on home ice for the first time since 1938. Corey Crawford, who was pulled from Chicago’s first-round series against Nashville, had 25 saves in his fifth career playoff shutout.

Keith was a unanimous selection for the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoff MVP after he finished with 21 points while playing over 700 minutes in a grueling postseason. According to ESPN Stats & Information, Keith is the second defenseman in history to win the Conn Smythe and score the game-winning goal in the Cup-clinching game. Bobby Orr did it for the Boston Bruins in 1970 and 1972.

Royals hang on MILWAUKEE — Kansas City’s collection of former Brewers made a triumphant return to Milwaukee, though normally lights-out reliever Greg Holland made the win more difficult than expected.

Lorenzo Cain hit a tworun homer, but the Royals needed Wade Davis to finish off an 8-5 win Monday night after Holland struggled in the ninth.

The Royals held on in manager Ned Yost’s first regular season game back in Milwaukee since being fired by the Brewers late in the 2008 campaign.

A couple of other former Brewers chipped in with Cain and shortstop Alcides Escobareach getting two hits and two RBI. But Holland’s difficult night turned what was an 8-2 game going into the bottom of the ninth into an unexpected thriller.

After running into tough luck at the plate for much of the night, the Brewers were finally able to string together hits in a three-run ninth off Holland.

Senior class sets foundation for Creston girls track

By SCOTT VICKER

percent of Creston’s team points this year.

“These five girls, they know what we expect and they came into the season knowing they were going to be a huge part of what we were trying to do as a team,” Arnold said. “Every year comes with added responsibility and added expectations, and your guys’ senior season will be no different. The weight is going to be on your shoulders, but you’ve had a great group ahead of you this whole time to show you the ropes. Hopefully you’ll be outdoing them.”

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

The Creston girls track team saw its best season in the five-year Arnold era in 2015.

Sunday night’s postseason awards banquet in the Creston High School commons was a celebration of that successful season.

But it was also largely a celebration of what head coach Clay Arnold called “the greatest senior class we’ve had around here in quite a while.”

This year’s senior class of Marie Hood, Monica Powers, Nicole Haley, Raegen Smith, Maria Mostek and Natalie Mostek was a part of 10 team championships and 10 runner-up finishes over the course of four years.

It was also a class that set the tone for the Panthers in practice every day at practice and at meets, taking the program to new heights under the guidance of Arnold and his wife Maggie.

“This senior class the last four years has been the foundation of what we’ve been trying to do,” Arnold said. “We really hope now after four years of them setting the way, that this program now has sustainable success in the future.

This senior class has really been great role models.”

The senior class scored 31 percent of Creston’s team points this season.

Among the senior class, Smith qualified for state three years and ran five events at the state meet, earning three medals in

her career and one school record. Maria Mostek qualified for state all four years, running 10 times on the blue oval. She finished her career with two medals and two school records.

Natalie Mostek, meanwhile, qualified for state three years, running nine events. She medaled in seven of the nine events she ran in on the blue oval and finished her career with three school records.

Arnold challenged the other three classes, spe-

cifically this year’s strong freshman class to aspire to duplicate that level of success, and take it one step further.

“They (freshmen) have the best teachers in the senior class,” Arnold said.

“When this year’s senior class was freshmen, we had an outstanding season.

(Audrey) Bolinger and (Katlin) Briley and we did a lot of huge things. This year’s senior class watched that and knew they wanted to win. They had a lot

of things they wanted to change, too. They did that.

“This year’s freshman class has the luxury of three more years following this senior class. Every part of me knows everyone in this class is just going to explode next year and have a huge sophomore campaign.”

The junior class, meanwhile, has the firepower in it to step in and fill the shoes of this year’s senior class right away.

The juniors scored 30

Arnold also celebrated the fact this year’s team put together the best season of any team in his five-year reign as head coach.

“It was excellent from start to finish. Really, the most fun we’ve ever had, too,” Arnold said. “To put with the best season we’ve had, up at state, we had the best state meet we’ve ever had.”

The Panthers had nine qualifiers in eight total events, earning medals in six events. All eight Panther girls who competed at the state meet brought home at least one medal.

In the Hawkeye 10 Conference, seven girls won two medals at the state meet. Smith and freshman Breanna Wallace were two of them.

The Hawkeye 10 Conference also had only two girls athletes win three or more medals at the state meet.

Rodriguez era ends with 12 seniors exiting program

Playoff field shrinking to 16 in each class next year

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

It was the end of an era in several capacities at the Creston boys soccer banquet Saturday afternoon.

Before the potluck meal in the CHS commons, fouryear head coach Jesus Rodriguez not only bid farewell to a contingent of 12 seniors from a successful period of Panther soccer, he also personally said good-bye.

Rodriguez will be head high school and middle school soccer coach at Van Horn High School in Independence, Mo., next school year.

“I want to thank you all for giving me the opportunity to coach these great kids,” Rodriguez said.

“What a great group I got to coach in my first head coaching job.”

Under his direction, the Panthers went from 3-11 his first year to 9-7, 12-5

(and ranked in the state’s top 15) and and 10-8 this year.

This season started with a 4-1 victory over Council Bluffs St. Albert, which ended up placing fourth in the Class 1A state tournament. But, there were three losses of 1-0 or by PK shootout, and a 2-0 loss to Harlan during a stretch of offensive woes with only three goals scored in four matches.

Then, the Panthers got hot with an 11-0 substate opening victory over Carroll and earned the program’s first postseason win over Glenwood, 1-0, before falling 3-0 to state qualifier ADM. Although the record is only two games above .500, the Panthers had a dominant year statistically with 61 goals scored and 31 allowed.

“I know our record doesn’t show it, but I really enjoyed this season,” Rodriguez said. “We still

had a winning record and we went really far in the playoffs. Obviously, we wanted a better record, but we had a lot of fun and we beat some of the teams that we normally wouldn’t beat.

We got to the (substate) finals and we didn’t get what we wanted, but we were there competing to the end, and I want to thank the boys for that, too.”

Assistant coach Lucian Diaconu echoed those comments.

“I want to thank all you parents for all of your support,” he said. “The great crowd we had at ADM, being there for us.”

The Panthers finished in fourth place in the Hawkeye 10 at 4-3, one year after placing third, the highest since 2010.

Conner Pals became the program’s statistical leader during Rodriguez’s tenure, eclipsing the career goals Please see SOCCER, page 8A

Cards top Twins ST. LOUIS — Yadier Molina finally got ahold of one, and the six-time All-Star catcher called a pretty good game, too.

Molina homered for the first time this season and John Lackey worked eight strong innings for the St. Louis Cardinals, who won their fourth in a row with a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night.

Mark Reynolds connected three pitches ahead of Molina in the fourth, giving the Cardinals back-to-back homers.

Player safety cited in IHSAA schedule change CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

The Iowa High School Athletic Association is reducing the number of teams that qualify for the state football playoffs in each class from 32 to 16 starting in 2016.

The association says the change follows a comprehensive review of the 32team system, which allowed for less rest and recovery between games.

IHSAA executive director Alan Beste says the new format will give teams a week between playoff games, as well as keep the nine-game regular season intact.

Beste says the driving force behind the decision is player safety. Some teams were playing four games in 16 days in the 32-team system.

The IHSAA says that next season’s schedule won’t change, which will remain at 32 playoff teams.

According to a news release, the IHSAA Board of Control discussed the football schedule at a meeting April 29, then sought input from the IHSAA Representative Council, Iowa High School Athletic Directors Association and Iowa Football Coaches Association.

Representatives from those parties met Monday, and the Board of Control voted on the new format afterward.

Coaches Brian Morrison of Creston/Orient-Macksburg, Allen Dukes of Lenox and Delwyn Showalter of Mount Ayr, who have coached multiple playoff teams, said some of the oth-

er options discussed were also worthy of consideration.

“What’s kind of frustrating is, in talking with (athletic director) Jeff Bevins and Todd Tharp (of IHSAA) they had some great ideas as far as addressing the time between games and keeping four teams in the playoffs from each district,” said Morrison. “One was playing one l e s s non-dist r i c t game, and making the n i n t h Morrison game the start of the playoffs. Then if you didn’t make the playoffs, you could schedule another team that wasn’t in. Another option was for everyone to start on week zero, play the nine-game schedule and still have 32 teams in. You would play just one a week in the playoffs.”

Morrison said Class 3A in this region of the state, most recently known as District 8, has been so balanced many years that there hasn’t been much difference between the teams finishing first and fourth.

In fact, one year a loss in the final game moved Creston/O-M from first to fourth in the district.

“Before they switched to four teams about seven years ago, we had some 6-3 teams not get in the playoffs,” Morrison said.

“Harlan was a four seed one year and went to the dome (semifinals). Spencer was a four seed and Please see PLAYOFFS, page 9A

RACING Update

Rain wins again at Adams Co. Speedway Late model double features set this week ■

CORNING — Mother Nature is certainly having a dominating 2015 season at Adams County Speedway, picking up her fifth win of the season, cancelling racing at Adams County Speedway.

Heavy rain all throughout the week forced Saturday’s action to be called for cancellation early Friday afternoon.

It appeared as if it was going to be a fan friendly night, as it was supposed to be Southwestern Community College Night with Kid’s race car Rides at intermission. No makeup date has been announced yet.

Points battles It looks as if many championship chases will be just as hot as the weather at Adams County Speedway this summer. The top five cars in the Chat Mobility Hobby Stocks are separated by just eight points, including a three way tie for first place.

Brad Derry only holds a four point lead on Kevin Sharp in the Northland Oil Pro-stocks. In the Coors Light Silver Bullet Late Models, Paul Glendenning holds just a slim two point lead over Sterling Perkins and JC Wyman, with John Hampel just four points out of first place.

Jesse Dennis holds a 22 point lead over “Mr. Consistency” Clint Homan in the POET Biorefining Modifieds, but Jon Plowman’s two early season wins show he can make up ground fast.

Josh Most holds a 24-point lead in the Stalker Chevrolet B-Modifieds, but Jerod Weston and Ryan Jenkins have ran very consistent all year and it’s probably way too early to count out the winner of the last two feature races, Kody Havens.

Coors Light Silver Bullet Late Models are scheduled to run their double feature make up.

Not every year does the ACS get to race on the Fourth of July, but when they do, they put on an exciting show as will be the case this year when ACS brings McCunn Specialty Firearms Night with fireworks display at the conclusion of the final feature race. As the summer warms up, so will the action at Adams County Speedway.

MLMR night

Some of The best Late Model racers in the Midwest are coming to Adams County Speedway on June 27 as The Midwest Late Model Racing Association will be in attendance for The Ray Houck Liberty 50.

The likes of Terry Phillips, Ryan Gustin and Chris Spieker look to battle with ACS weekly regulars John This week June 20 brings us Arnold Hampel, Sterling Perkins Motor Supply Night at Ad- and Paul Glendenning for ams County Speedway. The The $5,000 to win purse.

Busch wins rain-shortened NASCAR race in Michigan NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer

BROOKLYN, Mich.

(AP) — Kyle Larson knew the rain was coming — and wanted it to arrive as soon as possible.

He didn’t get his wish.

Instead, the downpour that ended this Sprint Cup race in Michigan gave the victory to Kurt Busch.

With his fuel running low, Larson had to make a pit stop, ceding the lead to Busch only a few laps before heavy rain arrived and ended Sunday’s race. It was Busch’s second Cup victory of the year. Larson remains winless, although he had tried to stay out on the track long enough to reach the rainstorm in first place.

“We could see weather coming there off of (Turn) 4 and just praying that it would get here in time for me to stay out and be in the lead when the rain did hit,” Larson said. “I applaud my guys for trying. We are pretty deep in points so we have to take risks like that to make the Chase. I’m happy with the call, just wish the rain would have come three laps sooner.”

63 laps, but a tire problem knocked him well back. He finished 29th, only the second time all year he’s been out of the top 10. Harvick did stay atop the Cup standings, leading by 15 points over Truex.

Pole winner Kasey Kahne was 15th. The shortened Michigan race was a missed opportunity for several drivers with no wins, like Kahne, Larson and Jeff Gordon.

Busch’s victory in his No. 41 Chevrolet was part of a huge weekend for Chevy, which took the top three spots in this Cup race while also emerging victorious in a NASCAR Truck race, an IndyCar race and in the GTE Pro category at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

This was Busch’s third career Cup win at Michigan International Speedway and first since 2007. It’s his first multi-win season in NASCAR’s top series since 2011.

This was supposed to be a 400-mile, 200-lap race, but the weather made that a tough task from the start.

The first three red flags, on laps 14, 20 and 46, delayed the race for a total of over two hours.

Saturday, June 20, 2015

The fourth weather-related red flag of the day came after lap 138 of a scheduled 200. Busch was leading at the time, and he was declared the winner after a downpour soaked the track.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was second, followed by Martin Truex Jr. Larson gave up the lead on lap 133.

Busch won in his backup car — he switched after an accident in practice Friday.

“It was a fantastic group effort,” he said. “To be able to pull the backup car out and to have it as prepared as it was and then to have the extra work that went into it, all the crew members that (crew chief) Tony Gibson leads rolled up their sleeves, jumped right on it, and we made it a race-winning backup car.”

Busch led for only six laps, but they were the last six of the race.

“I don’t know how Tony got the rain to come out, but he did that,” owner Gene Haas said. “That’s all it takes to win a race is you just need about 4,000 or 5,000 things to line up, and you’re there.”

Creston’s medals in six events at state were best in the Hawkeye 10 Conference, with conference champion Glenwood winning five.

The Panthers finished 14th in Class 3A with 19 team points, as 39 teams scored at least one point at state.

Over the course of the season, the Panthers won three team titles, finished second four times and third on three occasions.

“In our five-year program history, we had six events that were the best we’ve ever had so far,” Arnold said. “Shuttle hurdle had the fastest time, 4x400 had the fastest time.

High jump had the two best jumps we’ve had in

program history. Distance medley, shot put and open 800 all were program bests and school records.”

PLAYOFFS: Continued from page 7A

beat us. Traditionally, there have been four or five teams in our district that could legitimately make the playoffs.”

The Panthers have made the playoffs in four of Morrison’s five years as head coach, twice as a team finishing first or second, and the other two times as a fourth-place team.

Last year the Panthers made it to the UNI-Dome for the first time, falling in the state semifinals to Sioux City Bishop Heelan. The number of games in a short period does take its toll, Morrison acknowledged.

“It is a grind,” Morrison said. “They needed to fix that.

It’s about the health of the kids, to the benefit of them. It is a national deal now to protect the kids and keep kids healthy, limiting the contact hours and that sort of thing.

I just thought they had better options.”

Contrary views On the other hand, Showalter and Dukes said there are reasons to support the changes approved this week.

From an athletic director’s standpoint, Showalter did not want the eight-game schedule because of the potential loss of revenue. However, he’s surprised the board of control approved a format in which it loses revenue from eight games per class.

“I think they did the right thing, but I’m really shocked!” Showalter said. “I didn’t think there was any way they would give up the revenue.

I think safety was a real big Showalter factor in it.

I think with Alan Beste in there as director now, with his background as wellness coordinator and in charge of safety, that was perhaps a big part of all this.

It’s a good deal from a safety standpoint and for the fans if they start the playoffs on Friday now and play once a week.

“With the eight-game option, as an AD, I did not want to see it go to that, because every other year we’d be losing a home game,” Showalter added. “We depend on that revenue.”

One year Showalter and co-coach Derek Lambert led a fourth-place team to the playoffs that resulted in a loss at St. Albert. Another year the Raiders went as a thirdplace team and won at Panorama. All of the other Raider playoff teams since the expansion to 32 teams have been first or second place.

“I have always felt 32 qualifiers has really cheapened the playoffs,” Showalter said.

“We had some awfully good

teams in past years that did not get in (with 16 qualifiers). Now, there were some pretty poor teams getting in, and one year we were one of them!”

Now, it will require a first or second-place finish to reach postseason play.

Lenox history Lenox coach Allen Dukes, who has led the Tigers to a state 8-man championship in 2008, has experienced postseason play in both manners.

In 2004 the Tigers were 8-1 and did not make the playoffs, and the following year they won the district and advanced. Then from 2006 through 2010 Lenox advanced as either a district champion or runner-up.

The past four years, however, Lenox has qualified by placing third or fourth.

One year the Tigers went to Melcher-Dallas as a fourthplace team and beat the 9-0 Saints, who placed first in its district.

But, Dukes sees the advantages of returning to a 16team format per class.

“All it really did in bringing 32 teams in was make more money for the association,” Dukes said. “I think 16 is OK. You have much better ballgames when you have a one against a two. My guess is when they redo the districts after next fall, they’ll probably re-establish the sister districts. From our district, though, when you look at us, Fremont-Mills, Sidney and CAM, two of them will not make it after this year. So it does make it tougher.”

Dukes remembers from the championship season that too many games are compressed into a short time period in the 32-team format.

“That is tough on the kids,” Dukes said. “When you go into tough, physical games in the playoffs, you need time to heal.

We did Dukes not go full pads at playoff time. We couldn’t afford to get anyone hurt!”

First reduction The current playoff format of 32 teams per class was adopted in the 2008 season.

This is the first time the high school football playoffs have shrunk. The playoffs began with four teams per class in 1972, expanding to eight teams in 1975, 16 in 1984 for all classes but 4A, which then expanded in 1986, and 32 in 2008.

Football, which is the largest high school sport in Iowa at 20,630 students, is the only high school sport in the state with six classes – 4A, 3A, 2A, 1A, A and 8-man.

12A The latest: Jeb Bush has optimistic message, Trump plans to announce presidential bid Creston News Advertiser Tuesday, June 16, 2015

MIAMI (AP) — Vowing to win the Republican presidential nomination on his own merits, Jeb Bush launched a White House bid months in the making Mon- Bush day with a promise to stay true to his beliefs — easier said than done in a bristling primary contest where his conservative credentials will be sharply challenged.

“Not a one of us deserves the job by right of resume, party, seniority, family, or family narrative. It’s nobody’s turn,” Bush said, confronting critics who suggest he simply seeks to inherit the office already held by his father and brother. “It’s everybody’s test, and it’s wide open — exactly as a contest for president should be.”

Bush sought to turn the prime argument against his candidacy on its head, casting himself as the true Washington outsider while

lashing out at competitors in both parties as being part of the problem. He opened his campaign at a rally near his south Florida home at Miami Dade College, an institution with a large and diverse student body that symbolizes the nation he seeks to lead.

“The presidency should not be passed on from one liberal to the next,” he declared in a jab at Democratic favorite Hillary Rodham Clinton.

And he said: “We are not going to clean up the mess in Washington by electing the people who either helped create it or have proven incapable of fixing it.”

That was an indirect but unmistakable swipe at Republican presidential rivals in the Senate. Among them is his political protege, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who welcomed Bush into the 2016 contest earlier in the day.

Bush enters a 2016 Republican contest that will test both his vision of conservatism and his ability to distance himself from family.

Neither his father, former President George H.W.

Bush, nor his brother, former President George W. Bush, attended Monday’s announcement. The family was represented instead by Jeb Bush’s mother and former first lady, Barbara Bush, who once said that the country didn’t need yet another Bush as president, and by his son George P. Bush, recently elected Texas land commissioner.

Before the event, the Bush campaign came out with a logo — Jeb! — that conspicuously leaves out the Bush surname.

Bush, whose wife is Mexican-born, addressed the packed college arena in English and Spanish, an unusual twist for a political speech aimed at a national audience.

In the past six months, Bush has made clear he will remain committed to his core beliefs in the campaign to come — even if his positions on immigration and education standards are deeply unpopular among the conservative base of the party that plays an outsized role in the GOP primaries.

Tea party leader Mark

Meckler on Monday said Bush’s positions on education and immigration are “a nonstarter with many conservatives.”

“There are two political dynasties eyeing 2016,” said Meckler, a co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots, one of the movement’s largest organizations, and now leader of Citizens for Self-Governance. “And before conservatives try to beat Hillary, they first need to beat Bush.”

Yet a defiant Bush has showed little willingness to placate his party’s right wing.

Instead, he aimed his message on Monday at the broader swath of the electorate that will ultimately decide the November 2016 general election. Minority voters, in particular, have fueled Democratic victories in the last two presidential elections.

Of the five people on the speaking program before Bush, just one was a white male.

He was not planning to address immigration on Monday, but protesters left him

Fox News, the host of the first debate, plans to restrict it to the top 10 candidates based on polling averages from the five most recent national public opinion surveys. Last week, the network said candidates who do not qualify for the debate will be invited to participate in a forum to be aired on the afternoon of the debate.

Asked to comment on Branstad’s statement, Fox spokeswoman Carly Shanahan pointed to the network’s announcement of the additional forum.

The second GOP presidential debate, hosted by CNN in September, will divide its event into two parts. One will feature the 10 highest polling candidates, the other will include the remaining candidates who register at least 1 percent in public polling.

Branstad spokesman Jimmy Centers said the governor would prefer to see candidates randomly grouped. CNN spokeswoman Lauren Pratapas said in an email the format “will allow all of the Republican presidential candidates, who meet the eligibility criteria, an opportunity to discuss their visions for the future.”

sembly, pledging an appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court.

Frank represents Basil Hill, one of two dozen Occupy Iowa protesters arrested for trespassing in 2011 for staying on the Capitol grounds after an 11 p.m. closing time.

Frank argued protesters’

little choice. Just as he introduced his mother, a group of several people removed their outer shirts, revealing yellow T-shirts that spelled out: “Legal status is not enough.”

Bush responded by departing from his prepared remarks: “Just so that our friends know, the next president of the United States will pass meaningful immigration

reform, so that that will be solved — not by executive order.”

He prefers creating a path to legal status for the millions of immigrants now living in the country illegally as part of an overhaul, rather than a path to U.S. citizenship.

Bush is one of 11 major Republicans in the hunt for the nomination.
