Orient-Macksburg takes targeted approach to learning O-M implements combined classrooms for 2015-16 school year ■

By JAKE WADDINGHAM CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

ORIENT — It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.

Amid statewide budget concerns and small class sizes, the Orient-Macksburg Bulldogs are taking a new approach to providing a quality education for their students with targeted

instruction and combined classrooms.

“It is all about providing a quality experience for a quality price,” s a i d O-M’s Superintendent Clark Wicks, who has been with Wicks the school district for three years. “Ori-

ent-Macksburg, as well as every other school, needs to run a system very efficiently to be sustainable.”

This fall, third- and fourth-grade students; fifthand sixth-grade students; and seventh- and eighthgrade students will share classrooms. For reading and math, the students will break into small groups depending on their proficiency level to receive targeted instruction.

O-M principal Teresa Thompson said in previous years they allowed students to take an advanced math or

science class depending on their assessments, so the students are already comfortable with the comb i n e d classroom.

“In any g r o u p , Thompson you have a wide range of abilities,” Thompson said. “This allows you to meet the needs of both groups.”

Specials like art, music and physical education will be experienced as a com-

bined class. Social science classes — such as science and history — will be taught on a rotating curriculum to make sure all students are exposed to the same topics.

“We had to look at how we could be efficient and still offer good, differentiated instruction for our kids,” Wicks said. “Things haven’t really changed too drastically. We already had small groups for reading and math depending on their skill level and what they need.”

By combining classes, Wicks said they were able to reduce their total staff by

five teachers without giving a dismissal notice.

“We know that it takes some preparation to teach this style,” Thompson said.

“We are comfortable, the teachers are comfortable, and we have no concerns that this will be successful.”

Training Wicks said a significant portion of their professional development for the past two years has been focused on differentiated instruction.

For Kolby Hulett, spending time with older athletes is something he enjoys doing.

Kolby, 12, is a bat boy for Creston High School’s varsity baseball team, and has

been for approximately five years.

“I enjoy it, being out with the older boys,” Kolby said.

“It’s just helped me learn a better game of baseball watching them and looking up to them.”

Kolby volunteered to be a bat boy when his oldest brother Keaton was on the

He’s one of the only real threats to upset Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination.

And, he’s coming to Creston.

Bernie Sanders will walk in the Creston Fourth of July parade slated 10 a.m.

Saturday in the uptown business district.

T h e Sanders 73-yearold Sanders announced his run for the presidency April 30. He’s been described by many as a no-nonsense, straight-talking Democrat focused on improving the middle class in the United States.

“He’s ready to roll up his sleeves and stand up for everyday working people,”

Most polls still show Sanders at least 30 percentage points behind Clinton. But, Sanders has been drawing “overflowing crowds” the past month including a stop in Colorado Please see SANDERS, Page 2A

Deaths Dan Holker Winterset

Dan Holker, 57, of Winterset, formerly of Creston, died June 29, 2015, in Madison County, as the result of a vehicle Holker accident.

Celebration of life memorial services will be 1 p.m. Monday, July 6, at Powers Funeral Home, junction of highways 34 and 25, Creston. Mary O’Riley will officiate. Burial will be in Carl Cemetery, northwest of Prescott. Open visitation will be 2 to 7 p.m. Sunday with family present 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home. Memorials may be directed to the family. Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Daniel Lee Holker, son of Cathryn (Antisdel) Holker and Doyle Holker, was born May 2, 1958, in Atlantic.

He lived in Lewis during

his childhood years, then the family moved to the Cromwell and Creston area. Dan graduated from Creston High School.

On Aug. 9, 1980, Dan married Shirley Jackson in Cromwell.

They moved to Earlham, then Winterset.

Dan is survived by his wife Shirley Holker of Winterset; son Josh Holker of Winterset; daughter Jackie (husband Mike) Steele of Adel; mother Cathryn Holker of Creston; sisters, Christy (husband Ralph) Goddard of Creston, Roxanne (husband Bill) Keesler of Des Moines and Angie (husband Dan) McIntosh of Creston; brother Jim (wife Deb) Holker of Creston; grandchildren, Josie, Jorja, Jilly and Brock; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Dan was preceded in death by his father; grandparents, Opal and Lawrence Antisdel and Henry and Pearl Holker; and a niece and nephew, Pearl and Bert Conard.

and will possibly run track in middle school. He shows chickens and pigs in 4-H, and also hunts, fishes, spends time with friends and likes being outdoors.

“My favorite thing is to be outdoors, and have a lot of action outdoors,” Kolby said. “I don’t really like to sit around that much.”

As part of two baseball teams in the area, Kolby plays pitcher, catcher and short stop.

The traveling team will play against East Union and Lenox today, and in the future will be part of a tournament in Griswold.

“I can really see him gathering a lot of information that we learn, and I can just see him putting it into his baseball games,” Kadon said. “I mean, he’s just a better baseball player because of it, because he’s around it almost 24/7 during the summer.”

Kadon also said he hopes to be able to play baseball in high school with his younger brother, just as he did with Keaton.

“In a couple years, he’ll be even more part of the team when he’ll hopefully be playing with us up

teachers are able to group students together to create the best learning environment.

“If you look at effective schools, it is not only what the teacher can give to the students, it is creating that class of cooperation, that class and culture of helping each other,” Wicks said.

Wendy Eslinger, an Orient-Macksburg board member and parent of an eighthand fourth- grade student, said she believes the combined classrooms will help challenge students at all learning levels.

“It’s not all about the budget, it is about getting that positive learning experience,” Eslinger said. “It is a way to keep our test scores up and being able to create a positive atmosphere for the teachers. By getting more kids in the room, it will hopefully keep their creative minds going.”

Wicks said the largest combined class will have about 23 students. The new learning model does not change kindergarten, first grade or second grade. High school students have the opportunity to take classes in Creston and online through Southwestern Community College.

“When you combine classes at the lower level, that is a much more difficult situation,” Wicks said. “Even

though they are at a lower level … there are so many very acute and emotional needs. They need to be nurtured a little bit differently.”

Thompson said working in groups helps challenge students and allows the older students to serve as a mentor for younger classmates.

“We can all work together to make this a jewel of a school,” Wicks said. “We want to make sure Orient-Macksburg continues to thrive as well as survive and be sustainable for a long period of time.”

Eslinger said it has been encouraging as a parent that the teachers involved in the transition have been on board with the idea from the beginning and share the belief it is the best option for the children’s learning environment.

Since class sizes fluctuate, Wicks said the classroom structure will be fluid to keep the teacher and student ratio manageable, while still accommodating students at all learning levels.

“I see a great value in small schools,” Wicks said.

“Orient-Macksburg is able to offer so many things in a small setting like the teamwork and mentoring; kids that know each other very readily, yet have a taste of a larger school when they get to high school working with Creston. It is truly the best of both worlds.”

where his campaign expected 2,000 people and nearly 5,000 attended.

Sanders has pledged — if he becomes president — to make large corporations pay their fair share of taxes. He’s also proposed providing free college through a Wall Street financial transitional tax, guaranteeing workers vacation and family leave and raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

Sanders has vowed not to take money from Super Pacs during his campaign, but rather focusing on small individual donations. He wants to “bridge Washing-

there (at CHS),” Kadon said. “I hope that really happens because I played with Keaton, my older brother, during his senior year as an eighth grader. It was a really good experience.

I hope I can get that with him (Kolby), too.”

Kolby will be going into seventh grade in the fall, and plans to continue playing his favorite sport.

“Learning the game of baseball, having fun with the guys, yelling loud, cheering for the team,” Kolby said, “it’s just a fun sport. It’s my favorite sport just because I like to play with my friends, and it’s a competitive sport.”

OPINION Brake for books

Location, location, location.

That applies to Little Free Libraries as well as real estate, the official Library literature says. Must be true. So far, nobody has bothered to take a single book from my wooden box down by the road on the rural route.

The Little Free Library has been there over a week now, surviving a rainstorm, the county’s ditch-scraping equipment and the dust of passing four-wheelers.

I thought by now some horse-loving, bookish young girl would have stopped for “National Velvet,” would see it from a passing car and say to her father, who is driving: “Wait! There’s a little glass-fronted library right by the road, and I see a book I really want.”

Then the entire family would pile out, the father choosing the

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

Lewis Grizzard classic that’s there, the mother a book of essays about women, the big sister a Steve Martin comedy book or the Amelia Earhart story.

But then, I think too much. So far, no takers. Literally. I check and count each day.

I first saw a Little Free Library in a fine New Orleans neighborhood. It looked so inviting, a big, birdhouse-shaped box with a glass door showing off a bunch of used books inside.

The next day I heard a National Public Radio report on the little

libraries, a book-lovers’ program that began in 2009 and has grown to include 20,000 branches around the world. How in the world did I miss that?

I couldn’t wait to get started, though I’d have to ignore the part that said, “If your Library is ‘off the beaten path,’ move it.” The rest of the instructions I tried to follow.

You can build your own box or buy one from the Little Free Library organization (littlefreelibrary.org), install it, register it and photograph it.

To embrace the “free” part, I built my own library from an old teak sailboat drawer that’s been lying around here for ages and the tin top of a rotting birdhouse.

It looks pretty good, though not as imaginative as many that show up online. Some of those are fash-

ioned like miniature barns, lighthouses, schools, buses and trailers.

Mine is Plain Jane, but it is what’s inside that counts.

No good deed goes unpunished, of course. Homeowners associations, city councils, zoning laws, gas and cable lines, and vandals at times have interfered with the little libraries.

But whenever a controversy threatens a Little Free Library, it seems that more spring up in support of the idea. And the idea is irrefutably wonderful: Read books.

Share books.

Back in elementary school, we had the opportunity about once a month to order paperback books that cost anywhere from a quarter to a dollar. When they arrived, it was always a wonderful day. Unless I didn’t have a book ordered, which was a big disappointment.

That’s what this reminds me of, at least a little. Imagine being in the woods, near a lake, riding back to the campsite behind your brother on a four-wheeler. You’re wishing you’d remembered to bring something to read.

Suddenly, spotted just off the road beneath a giant cedar, a Little Free Library invites you to take a book. A shady oasis in today’s high-tech heat.

That’s a scenario worth contemplating a while longer. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ... And Warmed Our Cold, Cold Hearts.” Comments are welcomed at rhetagrimsley@aol.com. (c) 2015 Rheta Grimsley Johnson Distributed by King Features Syndicate

Letter to the editor

Dear Union County residents From Retta Ripperger Creston

Since 2001, Deb Goerndt and I have been co-chairing the Union County Fair Antique Road Show.

We are amazed that it has continued all these years.

This year’s theme is “Building Our Heritage,” featuring anything used in construction. This can be tools, architectural salvage, photos of buildings, etc.

This could turn into “see what I did with the ___ from Grandpa’s house.”

The road show will be held

Monday, July 20, at 6 p.m. in the breezeway between the commercial building and the 4-H Building. The last few years have been kind to us weather-wise and we hope that is the case again.

Experts will listen to your information about your item and offer their comments. We offer no prizes, just the information gained.

This is an enjoyable time of conversation, as well as informational, even if you don’t bring an item.

If you have any questions, please call Deb at 641-347-5260 or me (Retta) at 641-782-0918.

Hope to see you at the fair.

We like to hear from you!

NASA announced the Space-X re-supply rocket ship blew up HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced he’ll allow clerks to deny gay marriage licenses and he will allow justices of the peace to refuse to perform gay weddings. The state is not kidding around. Yesterday the bravest man in America walked into a Texas diner and ordered the rainbow trout.

NASA announced the Space-X re-supply rocket ship blew up after take-off while trying to deliver supplies to the Space Station. This was the third straight failed attempt to launch the re-supply ship.

They should rename the Space-X the Civil Servant because you can’t fire it and you can’t make it work.

NBC ended its relationship with Donald Trump Monday, canceling The Apprentice and the Miss USA Pageant, citing Trump’s comments denouncing illegal immigrants from Mexico. The network is very scrupulous over its credibility.

NBC just put Brian Williams back on the air, if that’s his real name.

Boston mobster Whitey Bulger wrote a letter to school kids from prison answering their request for his advice on life. The federal government tracked down Whitey, arrested Whitey, put Whitey on trial and jailed Whitey for life. This might be the closest they ever get to lowering the Confederate flag.

New York cops finally tracked down escapee David Sweat Sunday after they were unable to find him for twenty-three days. The judges at Guinness just shrugged.

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Twenty-three days was impressive, but it was nowhere near the hide-and-seek record of five hundred and twenty-seven years set by Richard III. Sarah Palin announced Friday her daughter Bristol Palin’s wedding has been called off right after Bristol revealed that she was pregnant again. It’s the second breach of her abstinence program. Whoever Bristol ends up marrying, she’s now just seventeen kids short of having her own reality show.

German bankers threatened to foreclose on the Greek government Monday if the Greek people don’t agree to work more and take fewer entitlements. They have huge potential. The workaholic Germans, Brits and the Americans can always hire Greeks to vacation for them in the Mediterreanean.

San Francisco had a huge Gay Pride Parade Sunday after the Supreme Court ruling. They have won the right to serve in the military and they have won the right to marry. It just shows you can lead the world’s most libertine lifestyle, but it’s not really living unless someone is right there to yell at you.

North Carolina beachgoers endured the sixth shark attack in the past weekend off the shores of North Carolina, causing panic.

Experts say that a fluke migration of sea turtles is drawing the sharks there. Life guards are advising hard-shell Baptists to stay on the golf course until this thing blows over.

Emirates Airlines based in Dubai launched a huge advertising campaign in the United States to show off their luxurious flight accommodations and meals on board. What a ride. Emirates Airlines is the only airline where if you feel any turbulence, it just means that you’ve strayed into Israeli airspace.

The Supreme Court’s ruling legalizing same-sex marriage Friday set off wild celebration in San Francisco as the city prepared for its Gay Pride Parade last Sunday.

It could go even further. The Supreme Court is next expected to take up bi-sexual marriage and forecasters say it could go either way.

Justice Antonin Scalia accused Justice Kennedy of engaging in jiggery pokery to decide in favor of same-sex marriage in his majority opinion Friday. The wording was ill-advised. It just opens the door for gay rights activists to press a lawsuit to decide if the ruling includes or excludes jiggery pokery.

Hillary Clinton took the week off campaigning for private fundraisers in the Midwest and on the Eastern Seaboard. In New York, she was given the endorsement of rap star Fifty Cent. Hillary thanked him for his support but she doesn’t get out of bed for less than three hundred thousand dollars.

BUSINESS/FARM Anderson named district outstanding young member ANKENY — At the recently completed Iowa Association of Agricultural Educators Conference, held June 22-25, Blake Anderson, agriculture instructor and FFA advisor at Nodaway Valley High School, was selected as the Southwest District Outstanding Young Member.

This is a prestigious award as Anderson’s nomination and selection was determined by his agricultural education teaching peers within the Southwest District.

It has been well noted by the agricultural educators within the Southwest District and the state that Anderson

is one of the hardest working young agricultural instructors in the state. He has seen a growth of students enrolled in ag education courses and an increase in FFA participation throughout his short career.

Based upon student success, it brings Anderson satisfaction to see the young people under his supervision succeed. For his outstanding efforts throughout this past year, as well as in his teaching career, Anderson was presented a plaque by fellow Southwest District agricultural education instructor Gary Clark.

Frontier Communications to expand, support broadband for 10,876 residents in Iowa WASHINGTON — Frontier Communications Corp. has accepted $4,240,586 from the Connect America Fund to expand and support broadband to approximately 5,438 of its rural customers in Iowa.

The Connect America Fund will provide ongoing support for rural broadband networks in Frontier’s service areas capable of delivering broadband at speeds of at least 10 Mbps for downloads and 1 Mbps uploads to approximately 5,438 homes and businesses in Iowa.

“The Connect America Fund will enable Frontier to expand robust broadband in its rural service areas, benefitting its customers and their communities,” said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler.

“This is a major step forward in the FCC’s efforts to ensure that all Americans have access to modern broadband and the opportunities it provides, no matter where they live.”

Frontier is expected to expand broadband deployment in Adams and Taylor counties. In Adams, 114 homes

and businesses will be supported, and in Taylor, 433.

Like telephone service in the 20th Century, broadband has become essential to life in the 21st Century. But, according to the FCC’s latest Broadband Progress Report, nearly one in three rural Americans lack access to 10/1 broadband, compared to only one in 100 urban Americans.

The FCC’s traditional universal service program succeeded in ensuring telephone network coverage in rural America by providing subsidies where the cost of service would otherwise be prohibitive. In late 2011, the FCC modernized the program to support networks capable of providing broadband and voice services, and created the Connect America Fund to efficiently and effectively administer that support to expand broadband in rural areas where market forces alone can’t support expansion.

Since then, Phase I of Connect America has provided $438 million to expand broadband to nearly 1.7 million

people in over 637,000 homes and businesses in 45 states and Puerto Rico, including $133 million to Frontier. Over the next six years, Phase II of Connect America will provide more than $10 billion to expand broadband-capable networks throughout rural America nationwide, all without increasing the cost of the program to ratepayers.

Carriers receiving this support must build out broad-

band to 40 percent of funded locations in the state by the end 2017, 60 percent by end of 2018, and 100 percent by the end of 2020. Overall, the FCC’s Universal Service Fund allocates $4.5 billion annually through various universal service programs for high-cost areas to support voice- and broadband-capable networks in rural America.

No spray needed Dear Heloise: My husband insists on spraying NONSTICK SPRAY in the nonstick skillet when he cooks eggs. They get soggy and fall apart. I say the nonstick skillet does NOT need any nonstick spray. What’s the scoop? — Tina D., Lubbock, Texas I hate to get in the middle of this! But here goes. Nonstick pans are supposed to be just that — NONSTICK! However, there are many brands, some better and some worse.

They are not all alike.

A lot depends on when you use the spray. Spray a cold pan, then turn on the heat — that’s OK. You should NOT spray a nonstick pan while it’s hot. If you do, the lecithin (which is in many aerosol-type sprays) pretty much melts and sticks to the pan. It’s near impossible to get off. If the pan is not cleaned well each time the spray is used, it builds up, and then food sticks to the pan. Tell your husband to do a Heloise test: Use one nonstick pan without the spray, the other with the spray, and see how the eggs turn out. — Heloise P.S.: Read the instructions — one light spray can be from 1/3 of a second to a minute.

Not very long!

I’m never sure how long it will keep safely, and would it be OK to freeze it? — Janet S., Hockley, Texas In the South, we do love our bacon grease! Years ago, every kitchen probably had a container of grease sitting on the stovetop without any problems of it going bad.

Mostly because they used a LOT of it, so the supply was fresh.

If you use only a small amount, it’s better to keep the grease in the refrigerator, and it should last for months. If you are stockpiling, do freeze it. Let it cool — some folks strain out the bits of meat — and put in a freezer-safe container.

you live, because friends will want to discuss new ideas.

YOU BORN TODAY You have strong sympathies and emotions, which sometimes you show and sometimes you don’t. You have an active fantasy life, which subconsciously gives you style. Good news!

This is a year of accumulation, and perhaps one of the most powerful years of your life. You will reap what you have sown, because it’s a time of fruition and a good time to buy and sell.

National Digest

U.S. advances MONTREAL (AP) — Carli Lloyd’s penalty kick got the United States on the board, and the Americans went on to a 2-0 victory over top-ranked Germany in the semifinals of the Women’s World Cup on Tuesday night.

Lloyd’s penalty kick in the 69th minute went into the right side of the goal less than 10 minutes after Celia Sasic shot wide on a penalty kick for Germany. Kelley O’Hara came in off the bench and scored in the 85th minute, delighting the pro-American crowd.

Hope Solo posted her fifth straight shutout, continuing a dominant run for the American defense. The second-ranked United States has gone 513 minutes without conceding a goal.

Next up for the U.S. is the winner of Wednesday night’s match in Edmonton between defending champion Japan, ranked No. 4, and sixth-ranked England.

Germany will play the loser of the second semifinal in the third-place game in Edmonton on Saturday.

The final is set for Sunday at Vancouver’s BC Place.

Record tied ST. LOUIS (AP) — Chicago White Sox lefty Chris Sale matched a major league record by striking out at least 10 in eight straight starts.

In his 100th start he also got his first career hit and scored his first career run.

“I got to do a few things I normally don’t do,” Sale said after the White Sox outlasted the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 in 11 innings on a home run by Tyler Flowers. “It was fun.”

Sale struck out 12 in eight innings. The lefty tied the mark set

by Pedro Martinez in 1999 with Boston and gets a chance to break it this weekend at home against the Blue Jays - not that he’s paying much attention.

Flowers hit his sixth homer with two outs in the 11th. He connected off Miguel Socolovich (2-1), pitching for the first time in nine days.

Daniel Webb (1-0) got the win and David Robertson earned his 16th save in 20 chances.

Randal Grichuk homered into Big Mac Land and doubled for the Cardinals, whose nine-game home winning streak ended.

A nine-run first inning was a strong start to a busy week of Hawkeye 10 action for the Creston baseball team here Tuesday night.

Besides the outcome of this week’s six games making the final determination on Class 3A district seeding, Tuesday was the start of four straight Hawkeye 10 games with the Panthers fighting to climb from seventh place.

Those tasks were boosted by a 12-2 victory in five innings over the Tigers, who fell to 3-12 in league play and 4-13 overall.

Creston improved to 8-6 in league play and 9-9 in all games.

The Panthers used three hits, five bases on balls, a hit batter and two Tiger errors to take a 9-0 lead in the bottom of the first, sending 15 batters to the plate against two Red Oak hurlers.

Eighth-grade starter Isaac Bower lasted 2/3 of an inning, charged with all nine runs. Sophomore Will West finished on the mound, yielding three runs, six hits and five walks over 3 1/3 innings.

“We had some good atbats early that got us going,” Creston coach Steve Birchard said. “We hit the ball OK, and we were obviously helped by some walks and an error here and there.”

Third baseman Chase Shiltz led off the Panther third inning with a triple, and was sent home on a balk charged to West.

Kadon Hulett reached on an error and scored on Cody Crawford’s double to make it 11-0.

The Panthers were unable to close out the 11-0 win in the top of the fifth as Crawford, pitching a one-hitter at the time, yielded three consecutive hits in a two-run rally by the Tigers.

But the Panther sophomore pitcher ensured he wouldn’t have to go back to the mound when he hit a line drive single that Crawford scored Dustin Merritt for the 10-run mercy rule clincher in the bottom of the fifth. Crawford earlier stroked run-scoring double in a three-RBI night.

“We got a couple balls in the gap tonight for extra bases,” Birchard said.

“Cody was pitching great, giving up just the one hit until the fifth. He was throwing strikes, doing what he should do. We probably could have done a little better job keeping the ball in front of us in the outfield on a couple of their hits there in the fifth.”

But there were defen-

sive gems backing Crawford’s effort, as well. Two of them were running outfield catches by Merritt in left and Brody Frain in right. Merritt got his charging in for a shallow drive in the second inning, and Frain’s was a tumbling catch of a shallow pop fly in right in the fifth.

“I thought it was higher, actually, so I was kind of jogging at the beginning,” Frain said. “Then I thought, that’s pretty far away! I just laid out for it.

Usually I do all that work and it doesn’t stay in the glove.”

“Brody made one whale

That’s about half of playing in the outfield.”

Tuesday was Little League recognition night, with Jared Moreland winning a drawing to throw out the first pitch, and several others having the chance to run out onto the field with varsity and JV starters for the national anthem.

The JV game was stopped because of rain with Red Oak leading 7-3 in the second inning.

Creston survives lackluster play for H-10 win

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

It wasn’t always pretty, but the main thing is Creston came away from Tuesday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference matchup against Red Oak with an 11-1 win.

But Panther head coach Mike McCabe knows his team will need to be much

sharper the next three nights, as his Panthers finish Hawkeye 10 play with a pair of doubleheaders and then a road contest at Red Oak on Friday.

“I suppose, this point of the year and the start of a big, busy week, hopefully we’ll continue to get a little better and be playing our best at the end,” McCabe said.

The Class 4A 10thranked Panthers had a rough start to Tuesday’s game, as a pair of first inning errors led to a Red Oak run, when Shelbie Perez singled to left field, scoring Jasmine Forward.

Haylee LaMasters struck out the next batter, however, stranding two Red Oak runners in scoring position.

QB charged TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State freshman quarterback De’Andre Johnson has been charged with punching a woman in the face in a nightclub.

of a catch,” Birchard said.

“That’s as good as you’ll see. An all-out sprint, allout dive, and he held it!

“Dustin also had a real nice catch in left,” Birchard added.

“He had always b e e n more of an in- Merritt fielder, but saw a chance to play in the outfield this year and made himself pretty decent — all by one thing, being able to get a good jump on stuff.

Creston senior Haylee LaMasters fires a pitch toward home during an 11-1 win over Red Oak in five innings on Tuesday. LaMasters gave up just two hits and struck out 10 with one walk in the win.

“Had a couple errors here in the first inning at third,” McCabe said. “All of a sudden, you give them a run. I felt fairly confident we were going to get a run back, but you don’t want to come out and play and do that.”

Josie Sickels led off the bottom of the first inning with a double and then scored as Taylor Briley reached on an error and Red Oak had another throwing error on the play.

The Panthers scored three more runs in the inning after a baserunning gaffe caused Creston to lose a runner in scoring position. Brenna Baker and Lexie Little each hit an RBI single in the inning and Alli Thomsen drove in a run on a groundout.

Creston scored six runs on seven hits in the bottom of the third inning to take a 10-1 lead.

Baker hit a one-out double and then scored after Thomsen got caught trying to take second base after a single.

L i t t l e singled and advanced on an error, before scoring on a Jami Ja. Sickels Sickels triple to the fence in center field.

Sickels scored on an Alyssa Higgins single, and after a Josie Sickels walk, Briley drove in Higgins with a single. LaMasters then hit a two-run double to left field to cap the Panthers’ scoring in the inning.

“Offensively, 12 hits is deceiving, I thought,” McCabe said. “Thought we had a little bit of trouble, as we have, of adjusting to the slower speed. On the other hand, when that oc-

curs, a lot of times you get some other kids that do the damage for you sometimes. Jami had a good night hitting the ball. That was good to see.”

The bottom three in the batting order — Little, Jami Sickels and Higgins, finished with a combined six hits and three RBI. Creston eventually ended the game in the bottom of the fifth with two outs, when Jami Sickels scored on a passed ball with the bases loaded.

“You think back at the game, you think of some of the bad swings we had, but kids hung in there and put the bat on the ball,” McCabe said. “We had some timely hits, too, to drive in some runs.”

LaMasters gave up just two hits in the game, striking out 10 and walking one.

Creston, now 21-5 overall and 13-2 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference, returns to action 5:30 p.m. tonight at home with a varsity doubleheader against Carroll Kuemper Catholic. The Panthers host Atlantic 5:30 p.m. Thursday in a varsity doubleheader, before traveling to Red Oak on Friday to end the conference season.

The Panthers currently sit in first place in the Hawkeye 10 Conference.

Lewis Central is second at 14-4, followed by Atlantic at 12-4.

“Big doubleheader tomorrow with Carroll Kuemper, no doubt about that,” McCabe said. “Like we told these guys, every one counts the same. Take them one at a time.”

“I thought we put hte ball in play really well against a pretty tough pitcher. Our walks and hit by pitches and errors really made the difference in the game. Seven of their 10 runners that scored got there because we put them there. It’s hard to win a lot of high school games against quality competition when you are giving away that many extra chances.”

That phenomenal growth also landed Knight on Forbes magazine’s list of 50 richest people in the world, with a net worth estimated at $24 billion.

“For me, Nike has always been more than just a company — it has been my life’s passion,” Knight said in a statement.

Knight said he wants Nike President and CEO Mark

positions since 2006, to succeed him. No specific date was set for Knight’s departure, though he said he plans to stay involved in the business. Nike Inc. said it expects to name a new chairman in 2016.

Knight sold his first pairs of shoes out of an old Plymouth Valiant while traveling the same Pacific Northwest track circuit on which he once competed. The company was originally named Blue Ribbon Sports, but changed in 1978 to Nike — the winged goddess of victory in Greek mythology — on the advice of a friend.

Knight said at the time, “I don’t love it, but it will grow on me.”

By 1969, Knight was making enough selling shoes to quit his full-time job as an accountant and devote himself to the footwear company.

Two years later, he paid $35 to Carolyn Davidson for the original swoosh logo design now plastered across the uniforms and shoes of athletes from the World Cup to little leagues.
