Ridgely named new superintendent at EU

By IAN RICHARDSON

CNA staff reporter irichardson@crestonnews.com

AFTON — The search has ended.

Lance Ridgely, curriculum director at Clarke Community Schools in Osceola, accepted the position of East Union Community School District superintendent Tuesday night, bringing an end to a superintendent search process that began in late April.

On July 1, Ridgely will step into

the position held since 2008 by current superintendent Pam Vogel, whose last official day will be June 30.

The East Union School Ridgely Board made the decision during a work session Tuesday, in which it discussed the three finalists for the position with the superintendent search firm

Leadership Associates.

Mark Weis, EU high school principal, who had input in the search process along with elementary principal Joan Gordon and early childhood director Hope Hall, said the team all agreed Ridgely was the right person for the job.

“He’s a very personable individual. He basically has a plan in place of what he would do in the first 90 days,” Weis said. “I think he was a candidate that everyone

all the way around felt was a good fit for East Union.”

Board president Brett Weis said Ridgely’s academic experience and his community-mindedness were major qualities the board was looking for.

“He definitely wants to get to know the community,” he said.

“He wants to get to know the kids and parents. He’s made it clear that he wants to be in the community to get to know everybody and be around a lot.”

Brett Weis said he was impressed at how smoothly the superintendent search went.

“Leadership Associates did an excellent job as far as helping us out and taking us through the process,” he said. “This was my first superintendent search, but we had two others on the board that had been on it before, and they were impressed.”

AFTON — A custodian at East Union School District collapsed and later died on school grounds 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Cause of death has not been determined officially at this time.

Dennis Chenoweth, 55, of Afton was a custodian and bus driver at the school district for one year.

“He was a good guy and hard worker,” said Mark Weis, principal at East Union. “Our con-

dolences go out to his family.”

First responders said survellience video footage shows that Chenoweth collapsed around 3:45 p.m. inside the new elementary at the school and was not found until about 4:15 p.m. by the head custodian.

EMT’s did perform cardiopulmnary resuscitation (CPR) on Chenoweth at that time, but he could not be revived.

There were no students at the scene of this incident Tuesday as school is out for the summer.

Services are pending for Chenoweth at Powers Funeral Home in Afton.

GRMC moving to new medical record system Greater Regional Medical Center and Greater Regional Medical Clinics will transfer to the same electronic medical record system used across the entire UnityPoint Health system on June 28 and 29, respectively.

Greater Regional has been planning the transition the past several months. The transition will benefit both health care providers and patients, as providers can now quickly compile and view patient infor-

mation in one place, resulting in better, more comprehensive care for patients.

“Having the same electronic documentation at both the hos- Neitzel pital and clinic level allows for better communication among health care providers, ensuring

consistent, improved care for patients in whatever setting they might be,” said Monte Neitzel, CEO at Greater Regional. “Our physicians and health care team are committed to advancing our technology to allow advanced care and communications with our patients. In addition, we are pleased to be joining the electronic health record platform shared by the affiliates of UnityPoint Health.”

This advancement in technology

will improve patient care by providing: • Current medical information at the providers’ fingertips no matter which UnityPoint Health hospital or clinic the patient is receiving care.

• Better coordinated care – Health information will be more efficiently shared between patients’ UnityPoint Heath providers and hospitals that are involved in their care.

• Additional safety and security features for their medical record.

Another feature of the new electronic health record is a new patient portal — a free, privacy-protected website and mobile app for patients and care givers. It helps patients keep track of their personal medical history and test results.

current Greater Regional patient portal, will need to enroll in the new portal system.

Patients will be provided information on how to activate their “MyChart/ MyUnityPoint” beginning in July.

During the first few weeks of implementation, patients may experience

longer than usual wait times, as staff and providers adjust to the new system.

“We realize our patients’ time is extremely important, and we appreciate their understanding during implementation, should they experience any extended wait,” said Neitzel, “we are committed to making this transition as seamless as possible for our patients and their families.”

World changed forever 200 years ago at Battle of Waterloo Napoleon’s defeat in the halfday battle against an overwhelming international coalition ended France’s supremacy in the world and opened the British century with the biggest of bangs.

■

WATERLOO, Belgium (AP) — To the victor go the spoils: So Waterloo became synonymous with Napoleon’s demise, even if the worst of the battle never happened there.

Ignoring the bloodied grounds of nearby towns, the victorious Duke of Wellington picked the name of the battle as the place where he slept after it was all over.

And nothing has been the same since for the once-sleepy village — or for the world.

Prince Charles led a host of dignitaries Wednesday to kick off four days of commemorations Wednesday of the battle that changed the course of history 200 years ago Thursday.

Napoleon’s defeat in the

half-day battle against an overwhelming international coalition ended France’s supremacy in the world and opened the British century with the biggest of bangs.

Little wonder the French are still gnashing their teeth two centuries later.

“It is not easy for them — psychologically speaking,” said military historian Professor Luc De Vos. Earlier this year, the Belgians wanted to mint a commemorative Battle of Waterloo euro coin which many of the belligerents in the fight now share.

Paris blocked the idea.

Belgium promptly turned them into commemorative coins that do not need approval from other eurozone nations before minting.

But France’s bruised ego over Waterloo has healed somewhat.

Descendants of Napoleon and the French ambassador will show up during the four days of Waterloo commemorations just south of Brussels.

On the battlegrounds themselves, kept intact down to the lush wheat that stands near full ripeness this time of year, everything has been prepared for official ceremonies and re-enactments.

At the heart of the battle was the pivotal French assault on Hougoumont Farm, on whose wooden gate, in the Duke of Wellington’s words, the outcome of the entire world hinged.

“Wellington was clear about the critical importance of this moment” said British general Sir Richard Shirreff. “The success of the battle of Waterloo depended on closing the gates of Hougoumont.”

It remained closed at the critical point and once the smoke of battle lifted, France’s Grande Armee was in retreat and 26 years of Napoleonic warfare to unite Europe under French rule had ended.

On the small battlefield, over 10,000 soldiers lay dead — and as many horses.

On Wednesday, Prince Charles unveiled a memorial at the lovingly restored Hougoumont farm and surveyed the battlefield with the descendants of the troop leaders — the Duke of Wellington and Prince Charles Bonaparte of France.

Through Saturday, some 5,000 re-enactors will roll the drums, fire the guns and cannons and walk through the gunpowder smoke, only to come to the

same result: Napoleon lost.

Napoleon “was 46, but in bad health. Wellington was fit.

His staff was not functioning well. There was hesitation. At the end of the battle, he only had 70,000 men and his opponents had nearly double,” said De Vos. So off went Napoleon, eventually to die in exile in Saint Helena, a speck of an island in the south Atlantic.

Instead of France, Britain came to rule the waves of the 19th century, reaping a rich harvest in colonies around the globe and firing the furnaces of the industrial revolution in Europe.

4-state pipeline project gets OK for large crude terminal WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — A company proposing a $3.8 billion oil pipeline from western North Dakota to Illinois has received permission for a large crude terminal near Watford City, along with heavy criticism for what some landowners say is arrogance.

The McKenzie County Commission on Tuesday approved zoning for the terminal, one of six planned in the North Dakota oil patch for the proposed

1,134-mile Dakota Access Pipeline, The Bismarck Tribune reported.

The pipeline would move oil from the Bakken formation through South Dakota and Iowa to a terminal in Patoka, Illinois, for distribution to refineries in eastern states.

Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners wants it operating by the end of 2016. It still needs federal and state permits, along with easements from private landowners along the

proposed pipeline route to access their land.

Some landowners say the company’s negotiating style is overbearing, with threats of eminent domain and condemnation.

The company is using a “take it or leave it” tactic, Howdy Lawler said, and his father, Rick, said “they don’t give a rip about anything but their wallets.”

Commissioner Kathy Skarda said she has received numerous phone

calls from landowners upset about the company’s negotiating style.

“Why do we want to reward bad behavior and the lack of respect given to them by your company?” she asked company spokesman Chuck Frey. “That’s very concerning to me.”

Frey apologized and said some land agents “that were not representing our company in that way we want it represented” had been removed or replaced.

OPINION You cannot experience it like this again

It’s time to reflect, reboot and renew.

I have the privilege to pursue a life goal and obtain a master’s degree in business administration this fall at Iowa State University.

I will also be working as a graduate assistant in ISU’s Business Career Services, helping undergraduates connect with employers and prepare for job interviews.

This means I will be leaving my position as associate editor of the Creston News Advertiser June 30.

When I returned to Creston in 2013 from the Lone Star state, it was the perfect outlet to hone the skills I learned during my undergraduate studies. I snapped photos, logged countless hours writing and designed pages on my favorite medium for news and sports — on

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham associate editor

a small town newspaper that covered local people and events.

We are lucky as a community to not only have a newspaper that prints five days a week, but it is packed with quality, local coverage. I learned so much about the entire production process — advertising, circulation, press, sports and news — and will miss working with such a talented and caring group of people.

Sports coverage has always been my passion, so making the

switch to news writing was a difficult transition. The raw emotion of a buzzer beater or walk-off hit is hard to duplicate at a Union County Board of Supervisors meeting, but I will always appreciate Lois Monday for keeping me on my toes.

I can’t pick any favorite stories, or say a specific photo was my best work to date. However, there were plenty of moments that helped shape my outlook on life.

I’ve saved some copies to go along with my collection of newspapers that covered John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the Villisca ax murder and Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

It will be interesting to see what emotions I feel when I look back on my own writing and news coverage 20 years from now.

Moving back to southwest Iowa did come with some challenges.

Besides being an hour drive from the closest Chick-Fil-A, people struggled to accept my running attire.

I often felt like an outsider because of my desire to live in new places and learn new cultures.

While I love my southwest Iowa roots, there is so much more I want to experience. I am hopeful a master’s degree will help open the door for more of these chances in the future.

It was nice being close to family again. While I am sure my mother will say I did not visit nearly enough while living in Creston, it was comforting to know I was a short drive away from a homecooked meal.

Feeling welcome makes a big impact on whether or not someone will commit to investing their time into a job or community. Please take the time to help my successor feel as welcome as I did for most of my experiences.

A phone call is always more personable than a text message.

Showing appreciation for someone’s effort is the best way to encourage that effort to continue.

While this column is more of a “see you later” rather than “goodbye,” things will be different when we finally meet again.

“You can remember it, he told himself, but you cannot experience it again like this. You have to be satisfied with the shadows.” — John L. Parker.

Letter to the editor

Celebrating Flag Day From Jim Stalker

Creston

Flag Day was Sunday, June 14.

That night, the flags were still flying and that gave me cause for concern. I had always thought I knew the correct way to fly the flag. Once again, I missed the mark, old age is causing memory lapse. It’s Tuesday as I write this and the flags are still standing. Upon looking up on the internet flag protocol, I find that it’s okay to fly the flag at night, as long as it is flying under appropriate lighting. Our street lighting, though not a spotlight shining di-

rectly on the flag, must be okay.

Much thanks to the person or persons who raised the flags this Flag Day. It’s a lot of work and I commend you for making the effort. While at that site, I read the rest. It doesn’t hurt to do that once in a while, if only to refresh in your mind, those rules you grew up with and believed in before others came along and liberalized them. While I was at it, I ran through the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem. You forget quite a bit when you don’t go over them every now and then.

We like to hear from you!

Jeb Bush gave a barn-burner of a speech HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Jurassic World broke all box office records Sunday with a two hundred million dollar opening week. It presents every American with a clear choice. You can pay twelve dollars to watch Jurassic World and see a movie about dinosaurs come to life or you can just follow the presidential race for free.

Jeb Bush stood with his Mexican wife and Hispanic kids Monday and announced his candidacy in Spanish before cheering Cuban-Americans in Miami. The next announcement came from Maine. For the second time in a week, embarrassed parents had to tell reporters that their kid is, indeed, white.

Spokane’s president of the local NAACP chapter Rachel Dolezal, who for years had claimed she was black and used tanning spray in order to appear to be African-American, was outed by her parents as white Friday. It makes absolutely no sense. What’s she trying to do, commit suicide by cop?

The Washington Post reported Monday that Spokane NAACP chapter president Rachel Dolezal resigned after her parents outed her as a Caucasian. Her ruse couldn’t last forever. Her whiteness slipped out of her in a recent speech in which she declared that she has a dream, and it’s a hole-inone.

Spokane NAACP president Rachel Dolezal wrote a letter of resignation Monday in the wake of her parents outing her as white and her

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

sibling accusing her of appearing in blackface. The weary American public has just one question about this. Has anyone checked to see if she’s really a woman?

NBC’s Bob Costas criticized ESPN for giving its Arthur Ashe Courage Award to Caitlyn Jenner at the ESPYs. It was crass. The next night, Caitlyn Jenner will be honored by Barnum and Bailey with its annual Bearded Lady Sideshow Award giving the Circus Channel its first ten-share rating in history.

Jeb Bush gave a barn-burner of a speech in Miami Monday in announcing his candidacy for the presidency. He vowed a campaign of optimism. Monday’s CNN poll of American voters shows that Jeb Bush has a ninety-eight percent name recognition and if he can over come that, he has a chance to win.

Full House star John Stamos spent the night in Beverly Hills jail over the weekend after he was pulled over for drunk driving by the Beverly Hills Police. The sobriety test in Beverly Hills is ridiculously difficult. They show you a picture of the Olsen twins, and you have to tell which is which.

An Air Malaysia flight made an emergency landing in Australia last weekend because they had a computer problem. Malay-

sia Airlines’ credibility is pretty low. It was bad enough when they lost an entire flight last year, now they’re telling us that a planeload of Asians can’t solve a computer problem?

The Women’s World Cup soccer championships continue this week at five cities in Canada amid complaints of sparse attendance by organizers and of the artificial turf by the players. If you love soccer, you must wait four years for the World Cup. It’s like making an appointment with a VA doctor.

The San Diego Freeway had a flashing billboard ripping Obama and Clinton for tying up traffic with fundraisers. They’re back every six months. They get fifty grand per person if they’ll stay out of Bel-Air for six months and twenty grand per person if they’ll stay out of Beverly Hills for six months.

The Southern Baptist Convention meet in Columbus, Ohio, this week with thousands of ministers, church leaders, and delegates in attendance. It’s a stalwart sect.

Texas Baptists supported making English the state language of Texas, saying if it was good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for Texas.

Queen Elizabeth observed the eight hundredth anniversary of the Magna Carta Monday. It set up a council of lords to prevent a king from ruling by executive order. The Magna Carta prevented absolute monarchy for five hundred sixty years until Amercians rebelled and created the U.S. presidency.

Waxing on about ice cream Dear Heloise: I enjoy using so many of the ideas (yours, as well as others’) that are printed in your column, and I would like to add one of my own.

I do love ICE CREAM. Since it takes some time for me to eat a full gallon or a larger carton, I have found that placing wax paper over the ice cream once it has been opened will stop it from becoming icy on top, since the wax paper acts as a shield.

My daughter-in-law now uses this idea and says that it works wonderfully. I also make chocolate-pudding pies with no meringue on top, so I use wax paper on them, and they do not dry out or get a film on top. — Frankie Stanford, Chillicothe, Texas A COLD SEPARATION Dear Heloise: I remember reading that it is easier to separate eggs when they are cold.

Is this true? — Jenna D. in Indiana Yes, it is true. Cold eggs are easier to separate because everything is, well, cold and not as runny. However, the older the egg, the more runny it will be. So a fresh egg is easier to separate, too. Depending on the recipe, most do call for room-temperature eggs. What to do? Separate the egg and

Hints from Heloise set it out until it reaches room temperature. — Heloise NO WASTE Dear Heloise: I’d like to share a simple trick for keeping sour cream and cottage cheese from getting mold after opening. Simply turn the carton upside down in the refrigerator. — Judy J., Allen, Texas Be sure the lid is on tight, and shake the contents down to make sure they cover the lid. Then place in a bowl or on a plate in case of leaking.

I didn’t one time ... and never again! — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com CAKE DECORATION Dear Heloise: I bake a lot of cakes. I don’t have the best handwriting when writing a message or decorating

the cakes. I use a toothpick to “draw” the letters first or sketch out the design. Then I just follow the “nice-looking letters” with the decorating bag. Much better than trying to redo a mistake. I once spelled my mother-in-law’s name wrong! — No Name in Upstate New York Yikes! Bet that won’t happen again. — Heloise HANGING STORAGE Dear Heloise: I have lived in several homes that had a pantry/broom closet, most of which only had about three high shelves.

I hang a shoe bag on the inside of the door. In its pockets I store all the smaller items that I need places for. For example, everything from spice packets to chocolate chips to BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker rice. — Joy N., via email NO TEARS Dear Heloise: I have one more sure way to avoid stinging/tearing eyes when chopping onions: I put a small, personal fan on the counter, turn it on low and then direct it over the onions. I have chopped five large onions without one stinging tear. Plus, the fan came in fun, bright colors, so it looks good on the counter!

Horoscope Thursday, June 18, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your home routine will be interrupted today. Family arguments, especially with female relatives, might break out. Just stay chill. Use today’s energy to make improvements to garbage, recycling, laundry areas and bathrooms.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Conversations with siblings, neighbors and friends will be important today. However, don’t be too insistent about getting others to agree with you. Lighten up.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be obsessed with something related to your finances or cash flow. Maybe you want your way about something, or perhaps you are super keen to buy something.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today the Moon is in your sign opposing big daddy Pluto, which means emotional confrontation with others is highly possible. Whatever happens seems to really matter and gets you where you live.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Something hidden or behind the scenes might be revealed today. This is a good day to do serious, focused research, because you are focused and ready to go for the jugular.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) You might attract a strong female personality to you today. In discussions with others, refrain from trying to improve someone or make him or her over.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Discussions with authority figures might be intense today, because people think they know best. This means they try to tell other people how to live — not cool.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because they will be too hot to handle.

People are opinionated and intense.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Make sure you know what’s happening regarding shared property, debt and inheritances in order to avoid an argument today. If you keep an open mind, a better solution is possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Emotions are stifled today; in fact, jealousy is likely.

Knowing this, don’t overreact with anyone. Maintain your cool, and avoid looking like a fool.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Machinery might break down today, and this could affect your job. Even communication can break down, which could lead to arguments. Be tactful and cooperative.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don’t be pushy with romantic partners today. And likewise, don’t be too pushy with children and young people. Just

let this intense moment pass.

You don’t have to convince anyone of anything.

YOU BORN TODAY You have excellent financial savvy.

You are active and lively. You can charm your way into or out of anything. This is the year you have been waiting for; it’s a time of great activity and expansion. Use these opportunities! A major change might take place, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2006. It’s time to test your wings!

Digest

CLEVELAND — As the final seconds ticked off and the Warriors began bouncing in celebration on their bench, Stephen Curry looked up and saw LeBron James coming at him.

James could do nothing more. He extended a conceding hand and congratulations.

Moments later, Curry was hoisting a trophy in the air — one as golden as his team.

Revived by Curry, their fresh-faced shooting superstar, and bonded by first-year coach Steve Kerr who made them believe, the Warriors ended a 40-year NBA championship drought on Tuesday night by finishing off James and the undermanned Cleveland Cavaliers 105-97 in Game 6.

Curry and finals MVP Andre Iguodala scored 25 points apiece, Draymond Greenrecorded a triple-double and the Warriors — using a barrage of 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to put Cleveland away — won their first title since 1975 when Gerald Ford was in the White House, disco was in vogue and Rick Barry was flicking in free throws under-handed.

James, who fell to 2-4 in the finals, didn’t hide his dejection.

“Doesn’t matter if I’m playing in Miami or playing in Cleveland or playing on Mars,” he said.

“You lose in the finals, it’s disappointing.”

Cycle BOSTON — Brock Holt cracked the Red Sox record book last season by becoming the first Boston player to start games at seven different positions.

Playing second base in the absence of injured second baseman Dustin Pedroia, Holt wrote a little more history Tuesday afternoon at Fenway Park.

He became the first Red Sox player in almost 19 years to hit for the cycle, doubling in the first, singling in the fifth, homering in the seventh and tripling in his final at-bat, in the eighth, in Boston’s 9-4 win over the Atlanta Braves.

Holt became the first Sox player to hit for the cycle since John Valentin, now the assistant hitting coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who accomplished the feat on June 6, 1996, at Fenway Park against the Chicago White Sox.

FBI probe The St. Louis Cardinals are being investigated by the FBI for allegedly hacking into networks and trying to steal information about the Houston Astros, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

Major League Baseball, the Cardinals and Astros all issued statements Tuesday saying they have cooperated fully with the investigation, which started last year after some information was posted anonymously online. The Astros and Cardinals said they would not comment further, as it’s an ongoing federal investigation.

GREENFIELD — Lenox outlasted host Nodaway Valley here Tuesday night for a 5-3 win in 11 innings, handing the Wolverines their first loss in the Pride of Iowa Conference.

Nodaway Valley entered the game with a 4-0 mark in conference play, tied with Pleasantville for first place.

Lenox, at 4-2 entering the game, was in fourth place.

“I told the guys this was going to be a tough game, because they’re a good ball club,” Lenox head coach Kurt Stoaks said. “They’ve been playing a lot of close games, so I knew it would be tough. I didn’t know it would

last 11 innings!”

Jared Hensley played the role of hero for the Tigers, smoking a 3-2 pitch to the right of Nodaway Valley s e c o n d Hensley baseman Corbin Bond in the top of the 11th inning.

Bond fully extended his body in a diving attempt to snare the liner, but the ball glanced off his glove and into the outfield, scoring two runs to put the Tigers ahead 5-3.

“I’ve got a lot of confidence in Jared,” Stoaks said.

Except in the 17th inning.

Three hours after the game’s first pitch.

East Union edged Mount Ayr 3-2 in a 17-inning softball test of wills here Tuesday night.

East Union’s Danielle Riley and Mount Ayr’s Tessa Shields were locked in a scoreless duel until the Raiderettes took a 1-0 lead in the top of the sixth.

Defensive gems East Union answered with

a run in the seventh, but Callie Gossman was out at the plate trying to score the winning run on a pinpoint throw to the plate by right fielder Bailey Anderson.

Kirsten Dolecheck did the same thing from center field in the eighth, as catcher Alyssa Johnson applied the tag to keep it at 1-1.

Both teams had spectacular defensive plays to keep the game going with baserunners aboard as the game surpassed the two-hour mark.

In the Mount Ayr 12th, with two runners on, East Union’s Mara Weis made a run-saving grab far behind her second base position into shallow right field for the third out.

Macy Larsen entered for Shields in the 13th inning and got out of a jam with Emily Eckels on third with a a strikeout and fielding a bouncer back to her in the circle.

Neither team threatened in the 14th inning, and then Mount Ayr scratched a second run across the plate in the top of the 15th.

Caroline McAlexander bunted for a hit, and the speedy Johnson was safe on a bobbled bunt. They were both sacrificed into scoring position on a bunt by Larsen.

Creston completes Panthers win third H-10 contest in a row sweep of Glenwood

GLENWOOD — The Creston softball team will be Glenwood’s biggest fan for the rest of the year.

That’s because the Panthers completed the regular season sweep of the Rams here Tuesday night, winning 7-1.

The win improved Creston to 11-3 for the season and 5-2 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference. Glenwood, meanwhile, drops to 10-5 overall and 5-3 in conference play, with doubleheaders remaining against Harlan, Atlantic, Denison-Schleswig and Lewis Central on the conference docket.

“They were right there with two losses also in the conference,” Creston head coach Mike McCabe said.

“You’re on their home field. Good win, no doubt. Like I told them, we’re going to root for Glenwood every game here on out.”

Senior Haylee LaMasters shut down the Rams, giving up just three hits. Glenwood’s only run of the game came in the bottom of the seventh inning when Jacy Embray hit a leadoff home run.

“We were throwing our getahead fastballs there and she hit a leadoff home run,” McCabe said.

LaMasters struck out six and walked none in the win. She helped her cause offensively by blasting a tworun home run in the fifth inning.

LaMasters Taylor Briley started things with a one-out single to center field

and then moved to second base on a passed ball. McCabe expected Glenwood to walk LaMasters after that, since there was an open base.

Instead, they chose to pitch to her.

“I was really disappointed (with the passed ball), because I figured they would pitch around Haylee,” he said. “But they didn’t and she hit a two-run homer, so we went up 3-0.”

Creston had taken a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Shelby Palser scored on an Alyssa Higgins sacrifice fly.

The Panthers did the bulk of their damage in the sixth inning, scoring four runs.

Alli Thomsen led off with a single to right field and Jami Sickels reached on an error. Josie Sickels singled to load the bases.

With the bases loaded and one out, Glenwood drew its infielders in, trying to get an out at the plate.

“We had a couple of little bloops that would have been routine balls about five feet out in the grass that fell in,” McCabe said. “Tough luck there for them.”

T h o m s e n scored on a Briley single and Jami Sickels scored on a passed ball, before Josie Sickels came around to score on a LaMasters single. Briley Briley scored on a wild pitch.

There was a scary moment during the game, as a Glenwood fan collapsed down the first base Please see SWEEP, page 8A

GLENWOOD — The Creston baseball team continued its string of strong play here Tuesday, winning its third straight Hawkeye 10 Conference game by knocking off Glenwood 6-1.

In the process, the Panthers avenged an earlier 11-1 home defeat to the Rams.

The Panthers scored six runs on 10 hits and committed just one error in the field, while sophomore Kadon Hulett had a dominant performance on the mound.

Hulett pitched the complete game and gave up just two hits, walking two and hitting two batters, while striking out nine.

“Kadon did a Hulett nice job. A couple of times, he got behind guys and battled back,” Creston head coach Steve Birchard said. “Just did a really nice job of mixing his pitches up. Jaden (Driskell) called the game for him back there and did a good job. It was good to see that.”

After completing a 6-5 comeback win over Shenandoah on June 8, the Panthers then scored a 9-1 win Saturday over an Atlantic team receiving votes in the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association rankings.

The win over Glenwood, Creston’s third straight Hawkeye 10 Conference win, improved the Panthers to 4-5 overall for the season and 3-3 in conference play. Glen-

wood fell to 5-3 in Hawkeye 10 Conference play and 7-4 overall.

Creston struck first, scoring one run in the first inning on a Driskell sacrifice fly that scored Conner Pals.

The Panthers then put four runs on the board in the top of the second inning to break the game open.

Cody Crawford hit a one-out single and Brody Frain followed with a single. After Gavin Woods sacrificed both runners over, the Panthers started a two-out rally.

Pals singled, scoring both runs.

After Brenden McDowell reached base on an error, Chase Shiltz hit a double to drive in a run.

Shiltz then scored on a Driskell base hit.

Pals Creston added one more insurance run in the third inning as Crawford singled and later scored on a Pals base hit.

“We kept pressure on them all night,” Birchard said. “Offensively, we were able to move the ball.

We hit the ball and they had the three errors. I think we’re moving the ball a lot better. We ended up with four strikeouts on the night.

Nobody struck out more than once.

We played good defense.”

In the fifth inning, Woods led off with a double and Pals walked, putting runners on first and second with no outs. Woods and Pals went running with the pitch to McDowell, who lined out to shortstop, creating a triple play that ended that Please see PANTHERS, page 8A

line midway through the game. Several Panther fans rushed to the Glenwood fan’s aid.

The Glenwood Rams twitter account tweeted the following: “A big thanks to the Creston softball fans who responded to one of the Glenwood fans who passed out this evening at the game.”

“There was an individual down the first base line who collapsed,” McCabe said. “It was one of the gentlemen who were helping on the field. I don’t know if it was a maintenance guy or what.

I guess I hadn’t gotten any (further) reports.”

The courtship of PANTHERS: Chambers Bay at U.S. Open Continued from page 7A

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. (AP) — Robert Streb walked off the third green at Chambers Bay, looked both directions and headed left down a dirt path toward Puget Sound.

Wrong way.

He walked back up the hill and stood in front of a large sign that showed a map of the course, arms crossed as he tried to figure out one of the many mysteries about this U.S. course. In this case, it was a simple question — where was No. 4?

Streb wasn’t alone.

“It was early on in the course, I think around the third or fourth hole,” Paul Casey said Monday. “My caddie walked the course the day before and knew the way. But I saw many caddies who were lost searching for the fourth tee.”

There are more pertinent questions about Chambers Bay, the newest course in 45 years to host a U.S. Open.

Never has a U.S. Open course featured so much elevation. One fairway is just over 100 yards wide. And it’s so difficult to determine where the fairway ends and the green starts that the USGA has marked each green with white dots about a yard apart to outline the putting surface.

Morgan Hoffmann, one of 11 players who competed at Chambers Bay in 2010 for the U.S. Amateur, described it with words that could take on any meaning.

Interesting. Different.

About the only one he left out was exciting.

“Oh, it will be exciting, absolutely,” Hoffmann said.

“There’s going to be shots you see on TV that they’re going to replay and you’re going to say, ‘How did that happen?’ Because you can’t see anywhere near what the slopes are.”

Monday was busier than usual for a U.S. Open as the courtship of Chambers Bay

got started with the first official day of practice.

Tiger Woods was among those who took a scouting trip within the past two weeks. He was first out on the back nine and plans to go nine holes a day. Jordan Spieth played Chambers Bay for one round in the U.S. Amateur (he shot 83), played it again when his caddie got married and spent the weekend getting reacquainted.

The reviews are mixed, which is not unusual for any U.S. Open.

Chambers Bay is not a links course. It just dresses up like one, especially with the fescue grass that gives the course a blend of brown and green, mixed with yellow wisps of fescue framing the rugged and expansive bunkers.

“There’s plenty of danger out there,” Paul Casey said.

“Visually, it’s fairly generous off the tee with what I’ve grown up with on links, if you’re going to call this a links. You can have a lot of fear standing on the tee at links courses — Muirfield, Birkdale and the like.

“You know if you don’t pipe, it you’re going to be looking for a ball for a long time. Here, it’s generous.

The premium is put on the second shot and on the green. Where do you miss your second shot?”

Retief Goosen, a twotime U.S. Open champion, hit the front of the first green in front of the flag, which was the wrong spot. It took a slope to the left and rolled off the green. It rolled so far, in fact, that Goosen had to use a laser to figure out how hard he had to get back toward the flag.

The greens have so much contour that they look like oversized potato chips. Bubba Watson posted a video of him with his back to the hole, putting some 40 feet away from the cup up a ridge and watching it roll back and into the hole.

Streb, once he found

his way to the fourth tee, proved to be a quick study.

The flags on the green might as well been there for decoration. Streb stood in the fairway and gazed some 30 yards right of the green.

There were two TV towers on either side of a large grandstand. He settled on a USGA logo in the mesh bunting of the bleachers, the third one from the left, as his best line to get close to the hole.

“I think it’s a fun golf course,” Jimmy Walker said. “You have to be really careful hitting into the greens — where to hit and where not to hit. ... My first go-around, you see the pin and look at the book and it was hard to tell. I’ve still got some studying to do.”

It can be deceptive in so many ways.

Walker recalled one par 4 in which he thought he could clear all the bunkers down the right side.

His caddie, Andy Sanders, was telling him to go much farther left away from the trouble.

“Visually, I couldn’t do it. It didn’t look right,” Walker said. “I went ahead and did it my way. And it was bad.”

For the moment, Chambers Bay is so new and so different that it’s more intriguing than aggravating.

Then again, scores don’t count until Thursday.

Walker said he played in a group that produced plenty of birdies and decent scores.

And one aspect of the U.S. Open has changed.

“I don’t know exactly what the mission statement is to find a U.S. Open course and how to set it up,” two-time Open champion Lee Janzen said.

“But I would imagine that it would be to provide a challenging test so that the best players in the world are challenged, and hopefully bring out the best players for that week.”

Junior varsity The Creston JV team suffered its first loss of the season Tuesday at Glenwood, 7-2.

Creston took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on an RBI single by Cayla Maitlen and then extended that lead to 2-0 in the fourth inning on an RBI single by Chloe Hagle.

The Rams scored one in the fifth an exploded for six runs in the sixth inning.

Taylor Briley pitched three innings of shutout ball with seven strikeouts and no walks. Cali Foglesong pitched three innings

ed by any means. Big games with Denison on Thursday.

We’ll have Shiltz and Driskell ready to go as starters.”

Junior varsity Creston lost 14-4 to Glenwood in the five-inning JV game.

Kylan Smallwood pitched all four innings for the Panthers, giving up 12 earned runs on 13 hits. He recorded two strikeouts and walked four.

Tucker Flynn finished with two singles, while Smallwood, Garrett Dahl and Nathan Pudenz each recorded a hit. Dahl drove in a run in the loss.

and struck out three with no walks.

Hagle finished 1-for-3 with an RBI, while Maitlen was 1-4 with an RBI. Kiersten Latham, Morgan Shawler and Mattie Wheeler each finished with one hit.

“Taylor Briley pitched well in her three innings of work, retiring seven of the nine on Ks,” Creston JV coach Teri Keeler said.

“Thought we were flat tonight after almost a week of no JV games.”

The Panther JV team dropped to 5-1 for the season and is off until next Tuesday against Shenandoah.

Still, with the team’s third Hawkeye 10 Conference win in a row, mixed in with a hard-fought loss at Class 4A third-ranked Southeast Polk, Birchard said things seem to be going in the right direction for the young Panther squad.

“Sort of getting on track,” he said. “When our pitching is good, we play defense well and our hitting is good, things are going well. The kids are having fun doing it.

Still have some things to improve on. We haven’t peak-

“Gonna be a big one, no doubt about that,” McCabe said. “They’re playing really well. After a slow start, it seems like every time we play them, they’re rolling.

They were undefeated in the conference last year when we went up there. They’re playing real well right now.”

Riley held the runner at third after fielding the ball.

With the bases loaded, Anderson delivered an RBI single as East Union left fielder Cassidy Riley made a diving attempt for the ball, which squirted out of her glove.

“He’s our leadoff hitter. He hits the ball well. Worked the pitcher good, worked him to a full count and then got a base hit.”

“Corbin gave it all he had there, just a hair short,” Nodaway Valley head coach Dan Jameson said. “But he made a lot of other plays throughout the night. He scored from first on a base hit early in the game to get us on the board.”

Hensley then pitched a three up, three down inning in the bottom of the 11th inning to preserve the win for the Tigers.

Lenox took a 3-1 lead in the fourth inning, taking advantage of several Nodaway Valley errors. Brenden Christensen hit an RBI sacrifice fly and Leevi Marshal drove in a run for the Tigers.

Nathan Andrews had an RBI double for the Wolverines. He and Beau Weinheimer each stole two bases in the game.

For the game, Nodaway Valley finished with five errors to Lenox’s one.

“That gave them momentum off the errors,” Jameson said. “But our guys kept fighting back, though. We try to get that instilled in

Eagles answer Trailing 2-1, East Union responded in the bottom of the 15th. Olivia Eckels drew a walk. Mount Ayr’s Maddie Mobley made an over-theshoulder catch near second base for the first out. Eckels was then safe on a delayed steal of second.

Emily Eckels singled, followed by a clutch RBI single

by Weis. The winning run was out at the plate as McAlexander — in at shortstop after Larsen began pitching — scrambled from her knees near second base to fire a strike to the plate.

East Union’s Weinkoetz made a tough catch in right field in the top of the 16th, and the Eagles posed a serious threat to break the 2-2 deadlock in the bottom half of the inning.

With runners on second and third and one out, Courtney Phelps broke for the plate thinking a hard bouncer was getting past Larsen in the circle. Instead, Larsen fielded the ball, ran at her and started a rundown play that resulted in Phelps being tagged for the second out.

Larsen got the third out with another grounder hit back to her.

Winning tally Speed on the basepaths helped Mount Ayr score the winning run in the 17th inning. Johnson reached on a bobbled squibbler and stole second base. Larsen then delivered an RBI single up the middle.

East Union was able to keep it at 3-2 when Emily Eckels made a full-extension grab of a sinking liner for the third out.

Rylee Mitchell slapped a two-out single to center for East Union in the bottom of the 17th, but Larsen got Riley to chase a low changeup for her third strikeout, which ended the game.

Mount Ayr improved to 5-5

for the season, hosting Central Decatur on Friday. East Union fell to 4-6, with a 4 p.m. game today against Murray in the Orient-Macksburg Tournament.

“Wow. My head hurts!” said Mount Ayr coach Ranae Klinkefus. “We’ve kind of had a roller-coaster season, one extreme to the next. But they were on all cylinders tonight. We told them defense will keep you in the games.

We didn’t hit great, but we got some timely hits and timely baserunners.”

East Union coach Jason Riley expressed similar sentiments.

“We just had an amazing game,” he said. “Great defense on both sides tonight.

Clutch hitting on both sides, and good pitching. I told the girls, if we play like this every night, we’re going to win more nights than we lose.”

24 strikeouts Riley took the hard-luck defeat, despite amassing 24 strikeouts with just one walk in 17 innings.

Mount Ayr had 12 hits.

“I don’t know if Danielle Riley could have done that last year,” coach Riley said.

“She’s gotten stronger. She was getting ahead on the

count and controlling the atbats, and the defense came up big. Tomorrow we may have to find someone else though.

We’ll have to see how she’s feeling.”

Shields allowed nine hits, one earned run with 11 strikeouts and one walk in her 12 innings. Larsen totaled five innings with four hits allowed, three strikeouts and two walks with one earned run.

East Union totaled 13 hits.

“Tessa did a great job but she was running out of gas,” Klinkefus said. “Macy, she’s only pitched three innings for us all season. She had that ACL injury on her pivot leg and was a little cautious. But she has that fire and was great tonight. It’s nice to have her back with her experience. She did a heck of a job.”

Anderson finished with a double, single and RBI for the Raiderettes and Sara Winemiller had three hits. Shields had two singles.

Kayle Dudney had five hits for East Union. Phelps and Mitchell had three each. Weis had two hits. Riley had two hits and drew two walks.

them, if you make an error, you have to bounce back ready to play. Five errors really hurts you.”

But Nodaway Valley knotted the score at 3-3 in the bottom of the sixth inning. Casey Ladd knocked a two-run single into right field, which would eventually send the game into extra innings.

On the mound, Lenox’s Caleb Lange and Nodaway Valley’s Jackson Lamb battled through nine innings each, before having to give way to relief pitchers.

Lamb finished with seven strikeouts and two walks, while scattering seven hits in his nine innings of work. Ca- Lamb sey Ladd took the loss on the hill, pitching two innings with two walks and two hits allowed.

Lange worked out of a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, while facing the top of Nodaway Valley’s batting order.

“I thought we were in

9A

trouble in the ninth inning when they had bases loaded and the top of their order,” Stoaks said. “He really beared down and got us out of that one. That really built a lot of character. If it didn’t (pick up the team), I don’t know what it takes to get them up! Because that was a big jam to get out of.”

“You relish that situation, because you know a long fly will get you in, get the job done,” Jameson said.

“But we got a little anxious, I thought, and just didn’t quite get the timing down. It was a prime situation. One you wish you could take back. One of those that you have to take advantage of while it’s there.”

Nodaway Valley was missing starters Ryan Jensen and Sam Marnin, who were at Boys State.

“They’re usually pretty solid for us,” Jameson said.

“They were elected to go, so that’s a good thing. You get to go and get a lot out of it. We had some guys had to step in.”

The Wolverines fell to 4-1 in Pride of Iowa Conference play and 7-4 overall, while Lenox improved to 5-2 in conference play and 8-3 overall.

Minting millionaires: Nearly a million joined club last year NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly a million people became millionaires last year.

The number of people worth $1 million or more rose by 920,000 last year, hitting a record 14.6 million. It was the sixth straight year-over-year increase as rising stock prices lifted the value of personal wealth in a few key countries, according to a report from consultant Capgemini and RBC Wealth Management.

More than a third of new millionaires — 345,000 — were in the U.S., where a

broad index of stocks, the Standard and Poor’s 500, rose 11 percent.

Among other highlights of the report: — RECORD TOTAL: The wealth held by millionaires globally also rose to a record — $56 trillion.

— RICHEST OF RICH: The wealthiest millionaires— those worth $30 million or more — represented only 1 percent of total millionaires, but held 35 percent of the wealth.

— GAINS SLOW: It got a harder to become a

millionaire as many stock markets in Europe and Latin America barely rose, or even fell. The rise in the number of millionaires — 7 percent — was about half the rate from the year before.

— INDIA RISING: A surging Indian stock market helped drive up the number of Indian millionaires 26 percent, the biggest percentage jump among major countries. That country had a total of 198,000 millionaires, and is fast closing in on Italy. There were

219,000 Italian millionaires last year.

— WHERE THE MONEY IS: The U.S. is home to 4.4 million millionaires, the most in the world. Japan ranks second with 2.5 million of them, followed

by Germany, with 1.1 million. China, the world’s second-biggest economy, ranks fourth. It has 890,000 millionaires.

The wealth report tracked net worth of individuals, with assets defined as stocks, bonds, cash, but not primary residences.

Fact check: Bush’s economic growth goal unrealistic WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush says there’s “not a reason in the world” why the U.S. economy can’t grow at 4 percent annually.

Actually, there are a bunch of reasons it probably can’t.

Many economists say the U.S. economy is ill equipped to grow consistently at even close to 4 percent. Current forecasts put growth averaging half that rate. Any president, Republican or Democrat, would have to overcome decades-long trends that are largely beyond the control of the Oval Office.

Those trends include the retirements of the vast generation of baby boomers — an exodus that limits the number of workers in the economy. Rising automation and low-wage competition overseas are among other factors. A result has been meager income growth, which has cut into the consumer spending that drives most economic growth.

“It would require substantial changes in fiscal and regulatory policy that I don’t believe any president could reasonably expect to enact in one term,” said Robert Stein, an economist at First Trust Advisors who was a Treasury Department official during George W. Bush’s presidency.

In his campaign announcement on Monday, Jeb Bush said “there is not a reason in the world why we cannot grow at a rate of 4 percent a year. And that will be my goal as president - 4

percent growth, and the 19 million new jobs that come with it.”

The pledge originated from a plan by the George W. Bush Institute to achieve growth averaging 4 percent for a decade.

Conservative economists defend the target as aspirational, a pledge that would leave the economy better off even if the next president fell short.

“I’m less concerned about the number than the commitment to grow rapidly,” said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, an economist who has advised Republican presidential candidates and now serves as president of the American Action Forum.

The historical odds of doubling growth from its current level are low.

Only four of the 16 presidential terms since World War II have experienced annual economic growth averaging more than 4 percent after inflation, according to research published last year by Princeton University economists Alan Blinder and Mark Watson.

President Harry Truman reaped the peace dividend as U.S. manufacturers helped rebuild nations devastated by World War II. The Kennedy and Johnson administrations enjoyed a boom because of tax cuts.

And President Bill Clinton benefited during his second term from low interest rates and what eventually became a tech-stock bubble.

There are two primary ways to grow an economy faster: add more workers or increase their efficiency so that each hour on the

job generates more income.

Neither factor looks spectacular enough to deliver 4 percent growth, particularly since the share of Americans working has drifted downward as the number of retirees has increased.

“The demographics right now are for slowing population growth,” said Chad Stone, chief economist at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal think tank.

The economy has 157.5 million workers, including the unemployed on the hunt for a job, according to the Labor Department.

Their ranks increased just 0.3 percent in 2014, the best year for hiring since the late 1990s. When economic growth averaged roughly 4 percent during Clinton’s second term, the growth rate for the number of workers joining the economy averaged 1.5 percent, nearly five times higher than the current level.

Because baby boomers are starting to retire, the nonpartisan Congressional

Budget Office expects the rate will remain low and hinder broader growth. The CBO in January estimated that growth would average just 2.1 percent annually from 2018 to 2025.

In theory, Bush as president could overcome that obstacle by welcoming substantially more immigrants in the United States. This would cause the growth rate of workers to rise much more quickly, said Michael Strain, deputy director of economic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.

But efficiency gains — what economists call productivity — would still be a challenge.

For the past seven years, productivity growth has averaged a poky 1.4 percent, according to the Labor Department. That’s nearly half its rate between 2000 and 2007. Economists say it’s generally difficult for government policymakers to unleash sudden bursts of productivity.

Plan now, then

relax.

Keeping your home and family warm through the winter while keeping your finances in check can be stressful. But it doesn’t have to be. Lock in your propane price now and take the guesswork out of budgeting your heating needs next winter.

Summer is waiting.
