FNB offers mobile deposit by smartphone

By SARAH BROWN

CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews.com

Check deposits are the latest service to be added to First National Bank’s (FNB) mobile application.

The service, which was added to FNB’s list of mobile banking services on June 9, has been well received.

“We’ve been pleased with the response rates,” said Sarah Young, electronic banking officer/marketing

specialist at First National Bank in Creston.

Young said deposits were being made on the first day of its release and no issues have been report- Young ed.

To make a mobile deposit, FNB customers must download First National Bank’s mobile banking app

from iTunes (Apple) or the Google play store (Android) onto their smartphone device.

Once the application is installed and opened, FNB customers merely have to choose which FNB account they want to deposit their check, take a photo of the front and back of the endorsed check, enter the amount of the check, verify the information and click “make a deposit.”

Within seconds, the check information is verified and admitted for

processing. Young said if a deposit is made by 3 p.m., the funds are available by 6 p.m. the same business day.

If a deposit is made after 3 p.m., it is available by 6 p.m. the following business day.

FNB limits a users daily deposits, which is capped at $2,500 a day.

Young said there are some security measures taken to protect both the consumer and bank.

Part of the verification process validates the check’s routing num-

Report: VA fails to admit severity of problems WASHINGTON (MCT) — In another damning report on the Department of Veterans Affairs, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel on Monday assailed the VA for what investigators said was its unwillingness to acknowledge the “severity of systemic problems” that have put patients at risk.

The special counsel, Carolyn N. Lerner, reported in a letter to President Barack Obama that investigators found a “troubling pattern of deficient patient care,” and expressed concern about what she termed the department’s unwillingness to acknowledge the impact of its problems on patient safety. Her office is now investigating more than 50 cases brought by whistle-blowers.

“The VA, and particularly the VA’s Office of the Medical Inspector, has consistently used a ‘harm- ■ Investigators less error’ defense, have found a where the depart- troubling patment acknowledges problems but claims tern of deficient patient care is unaf- patient care fected,” she wrote. for veterans.

“As a result, veterans’ health and safety has been unnecessarily put at risk,” she said.

The Jackson, Miss., VA medical center operated “ghost clinics” where veterans were scheduled for appointments with no assigned provider, resulting in veterans leaving without treatment, she said, and nurse practitioners at the same facility improperly prescribed narcotics to veterans in violation of federal law, among other problems.

In Buffalo, N.Y., health care professionals do not always comply with VA sterilization standards, the report said, and in Little Rock, Ark., suction equipment was unavailable when it was needed to treat a veteran who later died. In Grand Junction, Colo., the drinking water had elevated levels of Legionella bacteria and standard maintenance procedures to prevent bacterial growth were not performed, Lerner wrote.

In Brockton, Mass., a veteran who was in a mental health facility from 2005 through 2013 had only one note written in his medical chart; Please see VETERANS, Page 2

Deaths Darwin Holtmyer Washington

Darwin Holtmyer, 73, of Washington died June 21, 2014.

A memorial service will be held 11 a.m. Fri- Holtmyer day, June 27, on the farm, 1204 Macksburg Rd., Macksburg. A private family gathering will immediately follow at Moon Cemetery in Macksburg.

Visitation with family present will be 2 to 4 p.m. Friday at Kramer’s Café in Orient.

Beatty and Peterseim Funeral Home, Washington, is in charge of arrangements. The family has set up a general memorial fund; condolences may be sent to Jerry Holtmyer, 415 S. 9th Ave., Washington, IA 52353. Online condolences may be left at www. peterseimfuneralhome.com.

Darwin Lyle Holtmyer, son of John “Bus” and Wilma Holtmyer, was born Aug. 21, 1940, in Red Oak. He was raised on a farm near Greenfield, where he graduated from high school in 1959.

On June 4, 1962, Darwin married Jeanette Mundt

(Allen) in a country church near Massena.

Darwin and Jeanette raised their family near the Greenfield and Stuart areas, then eventually settled their family on an acreage outside of Macksburg.

Darwin remained in his Macksburg home until the recent decline of his health.

He then moved near children to a nursing home in Washington.

Darwin later married Sharon Beckman of Des Moines from 1986-96, and then married Cyrena Durham from 1996-2005.

Darwin is survived by his children, Diana Kramer (Dan Stark) of Leon, Donna (Kevin) Blair of Griswold, Jeffery (Tamera) Holtmyer of Knightstown, Ind., Jerry (Barbara) Holtmyer of Washington, Denise (Michael) Peiffer of Washington, Debra (Marty) Vohs of Moville and Rita Holtmyer of Fort Madison; brother Lee Holtmyer (Martha) of New Virginia; sister Judy Bullis of Winterset; sister-inlaw Pat Ashley of Las Vegas, Nev.; 14 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

Darwin was preceded in death by his parents, adopted brother Lyle Ashley and granddaughter Mamie Blair.

CAFO likely to proceed as complaint dismissed (MCT) — Plans for a concentrated animal feeding operation for 4,600 hogs in Milford Township likely will proceed after a complaint filed against the Story County Board of Supervisors was dismissed Monday.

The complaint alleged that the board violated state open meetings and public records laws by making public an amended environmental application less than two hours before the hearing at which supervisors used it to recommend approval of the CAFO to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

On Monday, the Iowa Public Information Board dismissed the complaint, filed by longtime anti-CAFO group Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, judging that it was without merit.

“The notice given, the non-required public hearing and the participation in that hearing all indicate the public was sufficiently apprised and afforded a full opportunity for participation in a very democratic process,” read the decision, authored by IPIB Executive Director Keith Luchtel.

Furthermore, Luchtel’s ruling stated that “common experience is that propositions listed on an agenda are subject to revision during the deliberation of the item during the course of the meeting” and that the revisions were laid out at the start of last month’s hearing before public comments were taken.

Under Iowa law, counties are not required to score an environmental application — known as a master matrix — but most do to make a non-binding recommendation to the DNR to approve or deny the CAFO based on whether it receives at least 440 of 880 points.

dation, an applicant could resubmit an amended version afterward and restart the process. That’s what Burger argued should have happened with the Tjelmeland CAFO to give its opponents adequate time to review the changes.

“I can’t just tell them, well, (the application) is missing information, you have to guess what’s missing,” Jaynes said. “I could have flunked them and then 30 days later we would have gone through the whole process again. I don’t see the merit in doing that; I just don’t see what that gains.”

Neighbors opposed to the CAFO now plan to take their case to the DNR, which does not have to follow the recommendation of the county. ICCI is arguing that there are still errors in the amended application that should lead to its rejection.

However, on June 11 the DNR already issued a notice of intent to issue Tjelmeland a permit for the CAFO before rescinding it to let the IPIB process play out.

The DNR now plans to make a new decision “on or around June 30,” according to agency attorney Randy Clark, unless the county requests that a decision be made sooner.

Jessica Reynolds, the assistant county attorney who defended the Board of Supervisors against ICCI’s complaint, said the county would most likely wait until the end of the month for the new decision.

After the decision is made, either the county or Tjelmeland could appeal it.

County requirements Under Iowa law, counties are not required to score an environmental application — known as a master matrix — but most do to make a non-binding recommendation to the DNR to approve or deny the CAFO based on whether it receives at least

440 of 880 points.

An application is scored on various air, water and community quality stipulations above what would otherwise be required and that are incorporated as regulatory requirements in a construction permit issued by the DNR. Emails obtained through a public records request by ICCI show that Margaret Jaynes, the county’s Environmental Health Department director who scored the application, discussed how its shortcomings could be improved to give it a passing grade with Seth Wengert, a consultant with The Maschhoffs LLC of Carlyle, Ill., who put together the application for Tjelmeland.

The CAFO would be owned by Tjelmeland but use Maschoffs-owned hogs.

ICCI organizer Evan Burger said amending the application in such a way was “highly unusual among Iowa counties,” most of which in his experience, he said, have made recommendations based on applications as originally submitted.

If the DNR were to then deny the permit based on a county’s recommen-

The office also is investigating allegations that two schedulers were reassigned from Fort Collins to Cheyenne, Wyo., for not complying with instructions to “zero out” wait times. After the employees were transferred, officially recorded wait times for appointments drastically improved, according to the special counsel, “even though the wait times were actually much longer.”

ter comes after the VA’s own reports have found systemic problems in scheduling of patients in a timely manner, including instances of staff falsifying records to cover up long waits.

Lerner said her office also had found the use of a “bad boy” list at the VA facility in Fort Collins, Colo., for staff who scheduled appointments for greater than 14 days than the veteran’s desired date for an appointment.

Staff members were instructed to alter wait times to make the waiting periods look shorter, the special counsel said.

O

the note, written in 2012, addressed treatment recommendations, according to Lerner.

Another veteran who was admitted to the facility in 2003 did not receive his first comprehensive psychiatric evaluation until 2011, she said.

The VA Office of the Medical Inspector “failed to acknowledge that that the confirmed neglect of residents at the facility had any impact on patient care,” she said.

Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, said the letter highlights the VA’s attempts to “downplay the impact serious deficiencies in VA health care have had on patients.”

“In the fantasy land in-

habited by VA’s Office of the Medical Inspector, serious patient safety issues apparently have no impact on patient safety,” he said in a statement. “It’s impossible to solve problems by whitewashing them or denying they exist.”

Acting Secretary of Veterans Affairs Sloan Gibson said in a statement Monday that he was disappointed in the “failures within VA to take whistle-blower complaints seriously” and that he has directed a review of the operation of the Office of the Medical Inspector, to be completed within 14 days.

OPINION Hail to the Redskins!

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s contribution to the Washington Redskins debate is pettifogging absurdity in the service of rank politically correct bullying.

A panel of the office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ruled in favor of plaintiffs claiming that the Redskins name “may disparage persons or bring them into contempt, or disrepute,” and therefore stripped the team of six trademarks. In theory, the ruling will hurt the team’s bottom line by making it impossible for it to stop others from selling its merchandise.

The decision has been celebrated by people who can’t tell the difference between Redskins team owner Dan Snyder and Andrew Jackson as a sharp blow for social justice in team nicknames. Exercising his constitutional power as arbiter of tastefulness in sports, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rallied almost all of his Democratic colleagues a few months ago to

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

implore the NFL to change the offending name, and hailed the patent ruling as the beginning of the end of the profound historical injustice perpetrated by the football franchise that dare not speak its name.

The patent board ruled this way once before. In response to a complaint in the 1990s, the board made its decision, as it noted this time around, “after seven years of litigation, involving multiple discovery and pre-trial motions.” Then, the ruling was reversed in court — after about another 10 years.

The dispute over the Redskins is the Jarndyce v. Jarndyce of the NFL, or in patent lingo, “football exhibitions rendered in stadia.”

Certainly, opinions differ about the appropriateness of “Redskins” as a nickname. But some perspective: There is no time in American history when Native Americans have been held in higher regard. Their nobility is celebrated in our popular culture, and their unjust treatment recounted in our schools. The existence of a professional football franchise with the same name that it has had for the past 80 years — no matter how anachronistic — has self-evidently not caused Native Americans to be held in contempt and disrepute.

The piece de resistance of the patent ruling is the cancellation of the trademark for the Redskinettes for “entertainment services, namely, cheerleaders who perform dance routines at professional football games and exhibitions and other personal appearances.” Was there ever a time when female Native Americans were called Redskinettes, disparagingly or other-

wise? Are we supposed to believe that the self-esteem of proud Native American tribes that have existed here for centuries depends on the fate of the Redskinettes trademark?

The Washington Post called the patent decision “a victory for tolerance.” A bureaucratic body seeking to harm a sports team because some people don’t like its nickname is a strange exercise in tolerance. The paper went on to note that the tide is running against the Redskins since so many people have spoken out against them, “including the president of the United States and half of the United States Senate, which controls the tax breaks enjoyed by the NFL.” Get it? It would be too bad if something happened to your nice football league. How tolerant.

In a section establishing the standing of the anti-Redskins petitioners, the patent panel made it clear they have no direct inter-

est except that they are offended.

Fine. Don’t be Redskins fans. Root for the Cowboys or the Giants, the team’s NFC East rivals. Never go to FedExField. Don’t buy Redskins paraphernalia. If you must support a Washington sports team, make it one with a nickname so thoroughly anodyne that even the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approves — the Major League Soccer team, D.C. United.

But in the 21st century, this isn’t the American way. If something offends you, it must be crusaded against and crushed underfoot, using whatever instrument of power is available. That the franchise is holding firm against this assault is reason to say a hearty “Hail to the Redskins!” — while we still can.

HOLLYWOOD — Happy Tuesday, everybody, and God bless America.

The IRS said IRS official Lois Lerner’s e-mails about targeting conservatives in the 2012 election can’t be found. They said two years of Lois’s e-mails were lost because her computer crashed. It crashed when President Obama threw it out of Air Force One at thirty thousand feet.

The IRS chief said its back-up server that stored Lois Lerner’s emails was destroyed and recycled.

Now her e-mails with the White House can’t be retrieved. The GOP just offered Ed Snowden immunity from prosecution and his Hawaiian girlfriend back if he’ll send them his copy.

Toronto mayor Rob Ford made it back to Canada Friday after he spent eight weeks in the United States at an alcohol and drug rehab. The mayor’s return went off without a hitch at the border.

President Obama traded him to Canada in exchange for five suspicious Muslims.

World Cup ratings on ESPN soared as American viewers began adopting favorite teams last week. Tribalism is always an issue.

to sell his team. Political correctness is now the first law of sports.

This scrap over the Redskins name has young people concerned about what the Cleveland Browns used to be called.

The Washington Redskins faced media pressure to change their team’s name Friday. It is political correctness run amok. Now Proctor and Gamble could be next on the chopping block after the guy who runs the U.S. Patent Office said that Spic ‘n Span is offensive to Mexicans.

The Smithsonian Museum unviled a life-sized sculpture of President Obama last week in Washington, D.C. The president’s face is done in incredible detail.

You can see the pores on his face, the wrinkles in his skin, and if his hair was any whiter, the Tea Party would endorse it.

The White House sent Joe Biden to Guatemala Friday to discuss the flood of immigrants pouring across the U.S. border this month. Human rights activists say the refugees who have arrived in America are determined to live free. All they have to do is qualify for disability.

China’s airline school hired martial arts masters to teach kung-fu and karate to Chinese flight atten-

dants to deal with drunk or unruly passengers on flights. We may do it too. U.S. airlines already copied one idea of Communist China’s by making everybody go without food.

The GOP House conference elected Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield the new House Majority Leader. His district is farmers, oil and bikers. Last week, Bakersfield residents ran outside during a hail storm catching the hail in their cowboy hats, thinking it was raining crystal meth.

The Pentagon announced it had deployed U.S. Special Forces to apprehend and arrest the leader responsible for the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi two years ago. When the Republicans first heard the news they rejoiced.

They thought Hillary was behind bars at last.

The Ronald Reagan Library will host a GOP fundraising dinner in August that’ll feature music from the Big Band Era. They hire the best chefs in Los Angeles for these dinners. If you don’t think Republicans eat well, how come you never see any recipes for left-over lobster?

Oil and Gas Journal reported on the continuing drilling boom last week with North Dakota now producing a million barrels of oil per day. This is causing some major changes in U.S. foreign policy.

North Dakota can now invade South Dakota without any fear of U.S. intervention.

Kerry in Iraq to push for a new government as militants gain ground BAGHDAD (MCT) — As insurgents grabbed another key town from Iraqi forces, U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry made an unannounced visit to Baghdad on Monday to push for the speedy formation of a new government that could pull the country back from the brink of sectarian war.

Kerry met with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and senior Shiite Muslim, Sunni Muslim and Kurdish leaders during the highestlevel visit by a U.S. official since Iraq’s crisis began.

Although Kerry did not call on the divisive al-Maliki, a Shiite, to step down, he urged leaders not to delay in forming a new government that shares more power with minority Sunnis and Kurds and bridges the sectarian divides that have fueled the insurgency.

“It is a moment of decision for Iraq’s leaders,” Kerry said at a news conference. “Iraq faces an existential threat, and Iraq’s leaders have to meet that threat.”

As Kerry held talks, Iraqi security officials said that government forces ceded control of the northern city of Tall Afar to insurgents led by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. It was the latest key town to slip from government hands.

Iraqi military spokesman Qassim Atta said that “terrorists” had surrounded the city of 200,000 people and that army troops made a strategic retreat.

“There are many choices

for security forces to attack,” Atta said. “The withdrawal from Tall Afar is to plan for those attacks, not because of defeat.”

A decade ago, U.S. forces launched a major offensive to retake Tall Afar from the militant group al-Qaida in Iraq, sending 1,200 troops to

conduct a house-by-house clearing operation that eventually flushed out the militants. Now in the hands of ISIS, an al-Qaida splinter group, the town and its airport are considered critical because of their location along a strategic corridor to neighboring Syria.

Sunni militants led by ISIS drove government forces out of a series of border crossings over the weekend, expanding their control over a wide swath of territory that extends from Syria across northern Iraq to within an hour’s drive of the capital, Baghdad.

Amanda Oliver of Adair and Jesse Meggison of Creston announce their engagement and upcoming marriage.

Oliver is the daughter of Bill and Kris Oliver of Adair.

She is a 2008 graduate of West Central Valley High School in Stuart. Oliver is currently employed at Plastic Professionals in Atlantic.

Meggison is the son of Rick and Teresa Foote of Afton and the late Danny Meggison. He graduated from East Union High School in 2006. Meggison is currently employed as an independent carrier at Creston News Advertiser and self-employed at Meggison Shoveling and Handyman Service.

The couple plan a Nov. 15 wedding in Atlantic.

The family of Shirley Snodgrass is hosting a card shower in honor of her 90th birthday June 28.

ENTERTAINMENT

A surprise addition to a dream trip Dear Heloise: When checking into a hotel on a dream vacation to Hawaii, I was told that there was a $35 daily RESORT FEE (to go along with the $20-a-day valet fee). When I asked what this fee included, I was told it was for the pool and spa, which I had no intention of using. As I am a rewards member of the hotel, the fee was waived for me, but I wonder how many people get stuck paying this fee without ever using the amenities? — Diana T., via email These fees are considered mandatory at the hotels that charge them, whether or not you use the amenities. You were lucky that the fee was waived, but for the most part, they must be paid, which adds a significant cost to the nightly room fee. Make sure to read the fine print or call the resort BEFORE booking so you are not surprised!

— Heloise SPACING HELPER Dear Heloise: The other weekend, my husband and I were laying new flagstone pavers in our yard. I started getting frustrated with the spacing between the pavers,

Hints from Heloise which caused my husband to go to the garage for a break.

I then heard him shout “Aha!” and he came out carrying a bag of his old golf tees. He proceeded to use the tees as spacers! I thought this hint could help other doit-yourself couples! — Lorraine W. in New Mexico CAN OPENER Dear Heloise: I have a manual can opener that keeps getting rust on it after washing. How do I clean it and prevent it from getting rust in the future? — Sheila M. in Indiana The rust is forming because you are not getting the can opener completely dry after washing it. Soak the can opener in either apple-cider or white vinegar. Then take a toothbrush and scrub off the rust. Rinse thoroughly, and dry with a hair dryer (be very careful, because the metal can get hot). Once dry, you can use mineral oil to lu-

bricate all the parts. All you will have to do in the future is be sure to dry the opener completely before storing.

Vinegar is so useful! I wrote my Heloise’s Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More pamphlet, which is jampacked with vinegar hints and recipes. To order, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Soak rusty screws and bolts in vinegar overnight to make them sparkle like new. — Heloise ENVELOPES READY Dear Heloise: If you pay bills through the mail and have misplaced the self-addressed return envelope the BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker company sends, try this hint next time: Lightly moisten the adhesive tip of the envelope flap and fold it over the bill, sticking it to the back.

Horoscope Wednesday, June 25, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Relationships with partners and close friends are testy today. Patience is your only recourse. Someone might say or do something that really catches you off guard!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your work routine will be interrupted by computer crashes, power outages, fire drills, staff shortages and canceled meetings, as well as equipment breakdowns and such.

Give yourself extra time to allow for this.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Parents and people who work with children should be vigilant today, because this is an accident-prone day for your kids or children in your care.

Do your best to remove them from hazardous situations.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your home routine will be interrupted today. Small appliances might break down, or minor breakages could occur.

Someone unexpected might appear at your door.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day for you, so slow down and pay attention to everything you say and do. Guard against kneejerk reactions and conversations with others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Keep an eye on your bank account today, and guard your possessions against loss or theft. Keep your receipts and count your change, especially if impulse shopping, which will be tempting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today Mars is in your sign, opposing unpredictable Uranus. This is an accidentprone combination. Guard against rash actions and speech.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You feel restless today, as if you are waiting for the other shoe to drop. (Invariably, it will be ugly and in the wrong size.)

Many other people feel this way as well, so be cautious in your dealings with others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Guard against sports injuries or accidents in group situations. Competition with someone could yield some surprises. Easy does it. A friend might surprise you by doing or saying something unexpected.

19) Authority figures will surprise you today. Do not wake the sleeping giant. Definitely avoid arguments with bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police for your own benefit.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans will be canceled, delayed or rescheduled today. This is also an accidentprone day, so be careful. Wear water wings and stay away from the deep end.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Make friends with your bank account so that you know

what’s happening, because unexpected events could impact shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt.

YOU BORN TODAY You are both original and nurturing. You are warm with family and friends. You know how to earn money and invest it. You understand the environment around you and know how to inspire others to believe in you.

The Numbers Game

17 Vanderbilt’s 9-8 win over Virginia is the highest-scoring College World Series game in TD Ameritrade Park, which opened in 2011.

National Digest

Vandy wins OMAHA — Virginia held Vanderbilt scoreless for all but one inning.

But boy, what an inning it was.

The Commodores capitalized on Virginia starter Nathan Kirby’s sudden loss of control to score nine runs in the third, then held off the Cavaliers to win 9-8 in Game 1 of the College World Series finals Monday night.

“We’re fortunate to win that game, for sure,” Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin said. “No one could have scripted that particular game.”

The Commodores (5020) can win their first national championship in a men’s sport with a win Tuesday night.

Virginia (52-15) came back after going down by seven runs, scoring three in the third, two in the fifth and another in the eighth. Had it not been for Vanderbilt reliever John Kilichowski getting a cleat on the ball to slow down and redirect a comebacker, saving a run in the eighth, the Cavaliers would have tied it.

Opting out NEW YORK — New York Knicks small forward Carmelo Anthony has informed the team that he will opt out of the final year of his contract and become a free agent. Anthony, who had hinted towards the decision during the regular season, will be able to negotiate with any team on July 1.

Anthony has the ability to sign a maximum contract worth $96 million over five years with any team outside of the Knicks. Should he choose to resign with New York, the small forward could command a max deal worth $129 million.

Sources close to Anthony say the Chicago Bulls are one team that he would consider playing for. Among others that could garner his services are the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks. ESPN.com reported earlier in June that the Miami Heat have also inquired about signing Anthony. Meanwhile, Knicks president Phil Jackson had expressed his hope that Anthony would “opt in” to the final year of his deal and test free agency in 2015.

New York went 37-45 this past season, led by Anthony’s 27.4 points per game.

Duncan returns SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan could have easily gone out on top, with his fifth NBA championship trophy under his arm and his health intact just a few months after his 38th birthday.

Duncan has instead decided to exercise the option on his contract for 2014-15 and will return next season, the team announced Monday.

Panthers deal Cards triple 7s

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

CLARINDA — Creston softball used lucky sevens to pick up a 21-3 win over Clarinda here on Monday.

The Panthers pounced for seven runs in the first, seven runs in the third and seven runs in the fourth to end the game early by the mercy rule after four innings.

“We came out ready to play,” head coach Mike McCabe said. “We continued our hitting ways, which was good to see. Haylee (LaMasters) was pretty sharp.”

Nine different Panther hitters drove in runs, as the Panthers finished with 17 hits for the game.

Creston started the game with a single, single and a double to plate its first runs of the game, driven in by LaMasters. Lexie Little added an RBI hit in the first inning and Josie Sickels hit a threerun, bases-clearing double when the top of the order Jo. Sickels came up for the second time in the inning.

The Panthers started the third inning with three consecutive hits, as well.

Alli Thomsen led things off with a double, followed by a base hit from Little and then a two-run single from Alyssa Higgins. Natalie Mostek added a two-run single in the inning and Little

knocked in two runs with a single in her second at-bat of the inning.

The Panthers had an opportunity to put the Cardinals away in the third inning, but gave up three runs in the bottom half of the inning, extending the game one more inning.

“We had a chance to close it out with two outs and a girl got a base-clearing double,” McCabe said. “We got the ball and threw her out at second, but not before the third run had scored, so we had to play another inning.”

All the Panthers did was score seven more runs.

LaMasters, Mostek, Shelby Palser and Jami Sickels all hit RBI singles in the inning and Brenna Baker added a Baker two-run single.

LaMasters finished the night with six strikeouts and one walk, giving up three hits. None of the Clarinda runs were earned.

“Good to see her (Baker) back,” McCabe said. “I was just glad we came out ready to play. I told the kids, it’s a big opportunity for us this week. Let’s go out and take advantage and play the way we can play.”

The win improved the Panthers to 14-7 for the season and 10-3 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference.

With Harlan’s 3-2 win over Denison-Schleswig on Monday, the Hawkeye 10 Conference race is becoming even tighter.

Creston, Harlan and Denison-Schleswig are now all tied atop the conference standings at 10-3 in the conference. Lewis Please see PANTHERS, page 10A

Cardinals shock Panthers in 7th

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

CLARINDA — It seemed to be in hand.

Just one more out, and Creston would have a 7-2 road victory over a Clarinda team that came into the night 10th in the 11-team Hawkeye 10 at 1-8, and just 2-11 overall.

The Panthers were sitting sixth in the league at 6-5, and playing .500 baseball at 7-7 overall.

But the Cardinals mounted a six-run two-out rally with four straight walks followed by four straight hits.

The capper was a ground shot down the third-base line. Third baseman Nathan Haley was unable to make a barehand grab on the ball hit by former Creston resi-

dent Brook Stephens, sending the last run across in an 8-7 Cardinal victory.

“You have to throw strikes, and hit the ball a little better than we did tonight,” Creston coach Steve Birchard said. “We struck out nine times tonight. We didn’t move the ball when we should have. On nine of the 27 outs you don’t have a chance if you don’t put it in play.”

Kadon Hulett appeared to be on his way to the mound victory. He allowed no runs in 5 1/3 innings, escaping some jams with six walks and three hit batters while striking out three.

Trevor Luther, who successfully relieved Hulett in a Panther come-from-behind victory over Red Oak last week, got two quick outs in

the seventh on a groundout to first base and a strikeout.

Then four straight walks made it a 7-3 game, and senior Jon Birchard was brought in to finish.

The Cardinals promptly bunched four straight hits, with no outs to spare.

Haley doubled and drove in three runs to lead the Panther offense in the game.

Luther and Chase Shiltz each Haley doubled, and Cole Crawford hit a triple and single. Conner Pals reached twice on base hits.

The two teams still have a suspended game to make

up in Creston on July 9, with the score tied 1-1 in the second inning.

Elsewhere in the Hawkeye 10 Monday night, Glenwood swept Red Oak 14-7 and 18-3; Harlan edged Denison-Schleswig 7-6; Lewis Central swept Kuemper Catholic 2-0 and 3-1 in 10 innings; and Council Bluffs St. Albert swept Atlantic 6-0 and 7-3.

Tonight the Panthers host Shenandoah, which is one spot above Clarinda in the league at 4-8, and 7-10 overall.

Junior varsity Cody Crawford pitched a four-hit shutout as the Creston JV beat Clarinda 9-0 in five innings.

Crawford struck out eight and walked two as the Panthers improved to 6-4.

Brody Frain had three hits for the Panthers with an RBI. Jaden Driskell doubled and knocked in two runs, Cody Tanner had two hits and Crawford and Gavin Woods each had one RBI. The Panther JV hosts Shenandoah at 5:30 p.m. today.

Regional softball pairings set Murray’s Nerness commits to ISU

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

The Iowa High School Girls Athletic Union announced the 2014 regional softball pairings on Monday.

Creston has been placed in Class 4A Region 7 along with several familiar opponents.

The Panthers open play on Thursday, July 10 at Winterset against the Huskies, a familiar postseason opponent.

The winner of that game advances to play 10th-ranked Ballard in Huxley on Saturday, July 12.

Norwalk receives a bye in the upper half of the region and plays the winner of Lewis Central vs. Glenwood. The regional final is Tuesday, July 15 in Norwalk.

“That’s all right. If there’s a year, they’re a young group,” Creston head coach Mike McCabe said about Winterset, which has been a thorn in Creston’s side in the past.

“Our group is probably young enough and far enough removed, they don’t know much about Winterset. There’s going to be good teams wherever you go.”

The Panthers are currently scheduled to travel to Winterset for the final game of the regular season on July 7.

Now that the regional pairings have been set and have the Panthers and Huskies playing just three days later, McCabe said that plan may change.

MURRAY — Murray rising senior Seth Nerness committed to Iowa State University on Saturday to play football for the Cyclones beginning in the 2015 season.

Nerness was on campus in Ames for a recruiting event when he made his decision.

“I’m really comfortable with the coaches and it is close to home,” he said. “I have a lot of friends there. It just felt like the right place to go.”

Nerness The 6-4, 215-pounder had also been weighing offers from Kansas State and Western Illinois, before settling on the offer from the Cyclones.

“I think from the people he had talked to and what their expectations are of him, I think it’s a good fit,” said former Murray head football coach Keith Shields, who coached Nerness during his first three years of high school.

“Talking to the Iowa State coaches and what they saw of him, their expectations are within a couple of years he’d be about 260 pounds and still be able to run and chase the quarterback,” Shields said. “They love his athleticism.”

Nerness recorded 71 total tackles during his junior season, including

21 solo tackles for loss and seven solo sacks. He projects as a defensive end for the Cyclones.

He also rushed for 856 yards with 14 touchdowns, averaging 8.9 yards per carry for the Mustangs.

Nerness said he feels very comfortable with the staff at Iowa State.

“I’ve been to three camps, all the football games, several Junior Days,” he said. “I have a good relationship with their defensive end coach they just hired.”

With the signing period not until February, Nerness has just given a verbal commitment to the Cyclones.

But, he has no intentions of waivering on that decision.

“I’m excited for the opportunity for him,” Shields said. “He got an offer in the last week or so from Kansas State. He’d been to a camp at Missouri in the last couple of weeks. Western Illinois had been in contact with him. Iowa State has been on him the longest, and I think he felt real comfortable with the coaching staff and being close to home. It was a relief, I think, for him to make that decision and have it behind him.”

Now, Nerness can concentrate on his senior season.

“Don’t want to have that in the back of my head,” he said about trying to make a decision during the season. “No more camps. Just time to go to work.”

Adams County Speedway

RACING Update

Dirt trackin’ in the mud at Adams Co. Speedway

By BURTON HEATON Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING — With more than 2 1/2 inches of rain falling on the Adams County Speedway in the 48 hours leading up to race time Saturday, it took extraordinary efforts by speedway staff to get the grounds in shape to race.

But some sunshine and warm winds helped and 79 cars were on hand for week number 10 of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series.

Hobby stocks Racing can’t get much more exciting than the show the crowd got to witness as 20 Chat Mobility hobby stocks took to the track for the evening’s opening feature. The top six cars spent most of the race within an arm-length of each other as they battled for position.

Veteran racer David Weeda led the pack with last week’s winner Andy Davison, Jeremy Auten, defending champion Jeremy Purdy, and Luke Ramsey all at his heels. Kurt Hansen, Tom Myers, and Patrick Pellman were in the mix too, just waiting for a chance to lead.

On the final lap Luke Ramsey was able to squeak ahead in turns one and two

unusual pleasure of watching back to back green/white/ checker races. This week it was Brad Derry’s turn to shine, taking the lead from Jake Christensen on lap number three and never being seriously challenged as he drove a flawless race.

Tony Hardisty, who just last week had some on-track contact with Derry, tried to reel in the leader but was never able to get to his rear bumper, with Derry winning by over a second and a half. Greg Miller came from shotgun on the field to finish third with Christensen and Jason Rold rounding out the top five.

Modifieds When 19 Poet Biorefining modifieds took the track for their feature, that previously inactive caution flag came to life. A single car spin on lap six resulted in the first restart, but it was the lap 13 incident that collected six cars, sending three of them, Kirby Stiens, Andy Miller, and Russell Stewart, to the pits for the rest of the race.

Cautions on laps 16 and 17 lead to the final green, white, checker restart that extended the race one extra lap.

Up front it was Jesse Dennis, working his way from starting 10th to take the lead away from Eric Hanna on lap number eight. Win number

and hold on for the win by a margin of only .34 seconds over Weeda. Less than .03 seconds behind him was Davison, with Hansen, Myers and Pellman all finishing within two seconds of the leader.

Davison’s second place pushed him to the lead in the points with Ramsey just one point behind in second. Prior leader and defending champion Jeremy Purdy dropped to third, but is still just two points out of the lead.

B-mods It was 15 caution free laps when the Stalker Chevrolet b-mods took to the track for their feature. Blain Petersen appeared to be in position to capture his first win of the season until unfortunate timing with a lapped car caught him and opened the door for Shawn Kralik and Jon Plowman to slip by on the bottom.

Plowman and Kralik swapped the lead in the final laps before Plowman, for the sixth time in nine starts, cruised on for the win.

Petersen slipped back past Kralik for second with Jerod Weston finishing fourth and Darrin Hardisty fifth.

Pro stocks The yellow caution flag stayed in its holster for the duration of the Northland Oil pro-stock feature, giving the large crowd on hand the

front stretch. With a clean, even start Tull turned on the green light and let them go green.

A lap two caution brought out by JC Wyman and Jason O’Brien’s tangle brought the first restart with Chris Spieker out front. Spieker’s car stumbled on the restart, and the ensuing log jam on the front stretch ended with six cars involved and two cars, Carlisle and Justin Zeitner, done for the evening.

Further restarts on laps nine, 16, and 18 saw the field thinned until only seven cars remained on the lead lap with Spieker and O’Brien both on the track several laps down but racing for precious NASCAR points.

At the checkers it was Omaha’s Josh Krug picking up his first win of the season with last week’s winner John Hampel in second.

Making a difference:

Left, Bob Jungst reached a milestone donation after Monday’s blood drive at Trinity Lutheran Church in Creston. Jungst donated his 23rd gallon of blood after 184 separate donations. Jungst said he donated for the first time while serving in Korea and continued to donate over the years because so many people need the help.

Above, Southwestern Community College parent educator Victoria Brammer starts her donation. Creston’s blood drive brought in 135 participants with only 15 deferred for a total of 123 pints of blood collected.
