Mayor searching for new councilperson

By KYLE WILSON

With ward 2 councilman Loyal Winborn departing, Creston Mayor Warren Woods is expected to appoint new councilperson at first meeting in August.

■

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

This month, Creston Mayor Warren Woods will be searching for a new Creston City Council member.

The council accepted an official resignation Tuesday from Loyal Winborn — leaving the council after accepting an IT director position at South Hamilton School District in Jewell. He served on the council since January 2008.

Winborn’s departure leaves a vacancy on city council in ward 2. If interested in the seat, send a resume and letter of interest by email to cityclerk@crestoniowa. gov, by mail to PO Box 449, Creston, IA, 50801 or in person at 116 W. Adams St. in Creston.

Reminder: Only apply if you live within Creston’s ward 2. Don’t know which ward you live in?

View the city’s ward map at www. crestoniowa.gov/citycouncil.htm or call Lisa Williamson, city clerk, at 641-782-2000.

Woods said he’s already re-

ceived some interest in the seat.

He noted Tuesday those applicants do not need to send any additional information.

Woods hopes Woods to appoint a new councilperson by the first meeting in August. This new councilperson would fulfill the remainder of Winborn’s term which expires Dec. 31, 2015.

Tent revival extended

Also Tuesday, Creston City Council voted 4-1 Tuesday to extend the noise permit for the tent revival festivities near Highway 34 in Creston through October.

The tent revivals are hosted by God’s Outreach Deliverance church in Creston from 6 to 9 p.m. Fridays and 4 to 8 p.m. Saturdays. They started in May. The church’s pastor JoAnna Davis said the revivals Please see CITY COUNCIL, Page 2

type rider ii: tandem poetry tour

Maya Stein and Amy Tingle of Food for the Soul Train type “tandem poetry” for attendees of Creston Arts open mic event Tuesday at Adams Street Espresso.

Dozens of people filled Adams Street Espresso Tuesday for Type Rider II: Tandem Poetry Tour event hosted by Creston Arts.

The event was inspired by Maya Stein and Amy Tingle of Food for the Soul Train — a self-dubbed pair of roving poets. The pair has raised $3,000 over their $26,000 fundraising goal on www.kickstarter. com to fund a 30-day, 1,400 mile adventure from Boulder, Colo. to Beloit, Wis., building more than 20 tiny libraries, promoting poetry, community, a love of reading and the spirit of collaboration along the way.

At Tuesday’s event, Friends of the Library teen reading group — the After Thoughts — unveiled a Little Free Library book exchange they decorated, which was donated as a result of Stein’s and Tingle’s Kickstarter campaign. The Little Free Library is currently at Adams Street Espresso and will be relocated to the lawn of Lincoln School in August.

During an open mic portion of the event, Stein and Tingle demonstrated “tandem poetry.” They asked passersby to offer a word or short phrase and each individually typed a poem based on what word was offered to them. Each of the poets read their poem

to the person who offered the word and a few of those poems were shared with the open mic audience. Creston Arts also set up a typewriter and encouraged passersby to contribute to a story about Creston. Re-occuring themes within the story centered around hope, growth, community and collaboration.

Right, Lorelei Herrod and Harleigh Bristow laugh at tiny books made by children and adults across the United States. Below, Mayor Warren Woods welcomes open mic attendees with a rhyming sign he mounted on his scooter.

Southwestern Community College is losing another staff member.

Teresa Krejci, the college’s chief financial officer, is leaving the college. Her last day is Aug. 8.

Krejci accepted a position as associate vice president of finance at Drake University in Des Moines.

“My parents live in Des Moines. The kids are grown and gone, and Creston was a great place to raise a family, but now, with them gone, I want to be in the Des Moines area, and I think Drake University is a great place to be part of. When that opportunity came about, I decided to apply,” Krejci said.

The position of chief financial officer at Southwestern is available. Reviews for applicants will begin July 28, and run Krejci until the position is filled.

“He (Bill) is moving to Des Moines with me,” Krejci said. “Whether he is going to commute is up to him.”

Bill is currently in Mexico and was unavailable for comment.

Krejci said she is excited for the opportunity at Drake University.

“It’s a new adventure,” Krejci said. “Last year, I completed my master’s degree in higher education because I thought I wanted to look for a new adventure, a new opportunity, and I thought that would help. I kept my eye open to see what would be available.

Then, I came across this opportunity and I decided to apply.”

But, Krejci also said she will miss the people in Creston.

“We’ve got so many friends around here, you just know everybody. So, obviously, I’m going to miss everybody I’ve worked with and been around for so long,” Krejci said.

“It’s going to be different, and maybe a little scary, but also exciting at the same time.”

U.S. House passes highway funding WASHINGTON (MCT) — President Barack Obama hopped into the driver’s seat of an automobile simulator Tuesday, but the feeling of flying along at 90 mph lasted only as long as the photo opportunity.

“I think I had a Obama little bit of a lead foot,” he joked later, noting that he hasn’t driven a real car in six years. “It got me a little queasy.”

Obama had another strange moment later when a last-ditch GOP measure that he had accepted to keep highway construction going sailed through the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, which tends to kill nearly anything the White House supports.

The House plan, which passed 367 to 55, would provide $10.8 billion to replenish, until May, the Highway Trust Fund, which is on track to run out of money Aug. 1. A longer-term funding source is still elusive, as are most goals on Obama’s legislative agenda.

With Republicans and Democrats bitterly divided over how to pay for things, even the long-standing bipartisan tradition of filling potholes has become a challenge.

The political dispute is not about the highway projects, which members of Congress covet for their states and districts, but about how to create a long-term financing system for the trust fund that pays for them.

Its primary funding source, a tax on gasoline and diesel fuel, hasn’t been raised since 1993. If it was adjusted for inflation, the 18.4-cents-pergallon gas tax would need to be 29 cents per gallon today to have the same purchasing power, according to the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank. Moreover, gas tax revenues have fallen as vehicles have become

more fuel-efficient.

The Congressional Budget Office projects an average annual shortfall of about $15 billion through 2020.

The White House proposes to inject billions of dollars from corporate tax reform, an idea with some support but little chance of moving forward this year. Republicans refuse to consider any increase in fuel taxes, but few have identified other possible funding sources.

The tussle this year raised fears of a “transportation shutdown,” similar to the 16day shutdown of most federal offices and operations last fall. The White House warned that thousands of construction projects would grind to a stop and that 700,000 people could lose their jobs if Congress let the highway fund run dry.

The House plan would prevent that, but neither side seemed especially pleased.

In recent months, Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., the departing chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, has explored overhauling the tax code to free up money to pay for eight years’ worth of road projects.

Major tax reform is unlikely in an era of legislative gridlock, so the House found another source. The $10.8 billion would come from a provision allowing some companies to defer some payments to employee pension funds, thereby increasing taxable profits in the short term.

House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, defended the plan, noting that Senate Democrats hadn’t settled on an alternative.

Senate Democrats appeared resigned to accepting the GOP plan. Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he intended to act quickly on the House bill, although Democrats may seek changes in hopes of revisiting it after the November election.

the Gibson family is not interested in any way with the (current) library. They don’t want to support it in any way and no longer care about the memorial.

OPINION

Rest in peace Archie, thanks for the laughs and lessons Part of my morning routine Monday through Friday is taking a five-minute mental break from putting together the newspaper to read through the comics of the entertainment section.

I can usually get a little chuckle out of the back-and-forth banter in Blondie and Mutts. I compare Baby Blues to growing up with my little sister and I can relate to the generational humor in Zits.

I have always been drawn in to the quick laughs offered by comics. It can be political, clever or just a mindless laugh, but the images have to draw me in.

Earlier this week I was doing research for an upcoming story when an illustration grabbed my atten-

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham associate editor

tion.

I never followed the cartoon Archie closely, but always made sure to read it when I found a comic section that was abandoned. The redheaded, freckle-faced protagonist was constantly in a pickle — struggling with a crush on Veronica or Betty or getting into trouble with one of his Riverdale companions.

But this comic wasn’t aimed at getting a laugh out of its audience, especially since the scene has a gun

aimed in Archie’s direction.

“Life with Archie” kicked off in 2010 as an adult spin off of the popular comic strip about Archie as a teenager.

The series has tackled several controversial, but very real situations involving gay marriage, death, as well as financial and cancer battles.

Today, Archie makes one of the biggest sacrifices a friend can, taking a bullet for friend and senator Kevin Keller at a rally for more gun control in Riverdale.

Keller is depicted as a married gay man who is also a military veteran turned senator.

The scene sends a message, slapping the reader with a dose of real-

ity instead of delivering knee-slapping humor.

Archie Comics publisher and coCEO Jon Goldwater has defended the decision to conclude the “Life with Archie” series with the death of the main character. The situation gives a lesson on the importance of gun violence and working through diversity.

When I look at comics, it is usually to escape reality. I am searching for that simple satisfaction of a laugh to help give me an extra buzz that the morning coffee didn’t provide.

But for Archie fans and those that will pick up or look up the new release today to see what all the buzz is about, it provides a unique,

typically light-hearted medium to shed more light on pressing matters.

The news can be pretty bleak.

With violence and controversy, some days the comics are the only positive things to read.

When a comic takes a chance on sending a message instead of a laugh, it might be time for everyone to start taking notice and making a change for the better.

Readers shouldn’t worry about Archie, this isn’t the last of the redheaded hero. Archie’s adventures will continue in the remaining titles that target the character’s earlier years.

Thanks for the laughs and the lessons Archie, and hopefully there are still many more to come.

Brazil got rave reviews in the media Monday HOLLYWOOD—Happy Wednesday, everybody, and God Bless America.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that movie theaters on Hollywood Boulevard increased their armed security after a string of robberies. One theater was robbed of five hundred dollars. The thief made off with a large box of popcorn, a large Diet Coke and a box of Milk Duds.

Brazil got rave reviews in the media Monday for hosting a great World Cup all month. It seems a shame the soccer tournament had to end. With the World Cup over, Los Angelenos now turn their attention back to other things they don’t quite understand, like fourway stops.

The Orange County Fair had one hundred thousand fairgoers on opening night in Costa Mesa.

The top-selling snack was a tubular fried pastry called a churro, which is wrapped in bacon, fried in pork fat, and filled up with a half a shot of Jack Daniels. There were no survivors.

Attorney General Eric Holder told CBS Sunday much of the criticism of President Obama is rooted in racism. He didn’t reveal who’s racist, what criticism is racist, nor did he define racism. For example its general rule that you may be a racist if all your favorite Nazis are white.

Texas Governor Rick Perry issued a plea to Washington asking for more boots on the ground at the border. It’s in Congress’s good hands now. Democrats and Republicans are now working on a compromise bill where illegal aliens can stay in the U.S. but only if they work as border guards.

The U.S. flew forty illegal kids home to Honduras Tuesday. They

got a lesson in politics out of the trip. Many were wearing sneakers with Obama’s picture on them when they arrived, but they were wearing sneakers with Pat Buchanan’s picture on them when they were flown home.

WalMart stopped selling the energy drink Craze after an investigation found it contained a chemical compound found in crystal meth-amphetamine. You can always spot the meth addict in a WalMart. He ‘s the one with the overturned cart who is working on one of the wheels.

A Michigan woman in affluent Fremont is okay after she accidentally shot herself in the face with a shotgun while she was trying to make a point during a family argument on Friday. The sympathy poured in. Democrats just set up a fund to teach Republicans how to take selfies.

Forbes magazine estimated that Vladimir Putin has amassed a seventy-two billion dollar fortune since he was elected president of Russia twelve years ago. And Putin was raised a communist. Imagine how much richer he’d be if he didn’t believe in the equal distribution of wealth.

Letters to the editor

To Creston Park and Rec Board From Connie Kerrigan

something grilled. Shame on you Creston – no concessions. Have you ever noticed the parking lot As a spectator of children’s is full. Where is the high school sports, I appreciate availability or college student or retired perof a snack, beverage or better yet son if parents are too busy? Bill

Afton

Sears is a wonderful facility and Creston is very fortunate.

I’m an East Union resident and very proud of Afton’s concession stand. You can do better Creston.

To the city council From Frank Gale Creston

Isn’t it time to check with the community to see what it really wants in the way of the library’s future? My guess that after trying to raise $1.8 million for the past five years and that only $400,000 has been raised, that the community is

not in favor of turning the old outdated school building into a monster that will drain dollars from the budget to pay for upkeep, utilities and security.

I do agee with Melvin Scadden wondering why a new name should be selected when the council hasn’t even approved the move.

At the same time, I disagree with

Mr. White simply for the fact that I doubt if the funds can be raised in another five years.

I do challenge the council to take the time to really study the future of the library. I have no doubt that it will discover that the community is in favor of building an addition to the present library instead of remodeling the old school.

Celebrate 50 years with Horse and Riders From Ruby Stephens Shannon City

The 4-H Horse and Riders Club is starting the Union County Fair early.

July 18, Friday, 5 to 9 p.m. we will be celebrating 50 years with food, a slide show and program with stories and memories.

John and Ruby Stephens started the 4-H Horse and Riders Club so those who had a horse project could do something besides show-

ing their horse at halter. We added performance classes so the members could show in riding classes as well as halter classes. Ruby is helping to see many of the members who belonged during the 18 years they were leaders. Spread the word to other past members.

There have been many leaders (approximately 40) down through the years and they would also like to see and visit with those who were members during their years

as leaders. Come one. Come all.

July 19, Saturday, first day of the Union County Fair at 9 a.m. is the Union County open horse show.

There will be classes for alumni 4-H members. Bring your horse or there will be horses available to borrow. More chances to see and visit with friends.

July 20, Sunday, 6 p.m. Union County fair parade. Join us at the fairgrounds to ride your horse or ride in the wagon with Dannie.

We like to hear from you!

Andreasen achieves senior master technician FBLA students attend National Bob King, field service engineer with Ford Motor Company, stopped by Creston Automotive to recognize Brian Andreasen with his senior master technician award.

“This is really a big deal,” said King. “The amount of hours that a technician has to put in for both online and hands-on training is incredible. It is nearly the equivalent to attaining a PHD. To be dedicated to do all of that work is really quite an accomplishment.

Ford Motor Company is proud of Brian’s dedication to his customers with his work to get the repair done right the first time. Ford is also proud to recognize Creston Automotive and its dedication to employee training which, in turn, promotes the ‘Get-It-RightThe-First-Time’ environment.”

Ten members of Creston Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) spent June 29 through July competing in eight different events at the National Leadership Conference in Nashville, Tenn.

“Creston FBLA members worked hard practicing presentations, perfecting projects and studying for their tests, and I was tremendously proud of their efforts,” said Shannon Smith, adviser. “Even though it was summer, they were coming in to work on their events.”

Creston students were among more than 10,000 students from across the nation competing to place top 10 in the nation in their events.

During the rest of the trip, students participated in community service, which

involved clean-up of a creek with an endangered species of crawfish, saw some local hot spots including a waterpark and Segway tour of downtown Nashville, along with attending workshops about college prep, leadership and career readiness.

Adair County Health System launches My ACHS Portal GREENFIELD — Adair County Health System (ACHS) announced the launch of a patient portal, giving patients secure online access to their medical information, 24/7. Adair County Health System patients can now access their medical information and more online through My ACHS Portal wherever they are. This is a free service available to all patients of Adair County Health System.

My ACHS Portal is a valuable tool for communication between patients and their health-care providers. The secure portal allows patients to find their lab results, access health-care resources, request appointments, contact their medical provider and view family members’ medical records, if authorized.

“We want patients to have a secure way to reach their providers and get their

test results fast,” said Angela Mortoza, ACHS CEO. “With My ACHS Portal, we have a safe connection between patients and their providers to share health care information and manage their health care.”

To gain access to My ACHS Portal, patients must complete an authorization form at the medical clinic front desk, and they will receive an email invitation to the My ACHS Portal page.

This form is also available online at www.adaircountyhealthsystem.org.

Once patients are registered, they can access their providers and their health information.

ACHS ensures your health information is secure by carefully controlling the authorization process, using secure invitations, personal identification procedures and requiring patients to develop their own account passwords.

Peanut brittle is back!

Dear Heloise: Can you please reprint your HELOISE PEANUT BRITTLE recipe?

I haven’t made it in years, and I cannot find the recipe! — Ellen S. in Indiana This recipe is so easy and quick, because you make it in the microwave. Gather the following ingredients: 1 cup of granulated sugar 1/2 cup of light corn syrup 1 1/2 cups of raw (skin on) peanuts 1/8 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1 teaspoon of butter 1 teaspoon of baking soda Place aluminum foil over a cookie sheet (with sides) and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup, peanuts and salt. Mix together. Place in the microwave (wattages vary, so you may need to adjust the times) and heat on HIGH for 8 minutes, stirring well halfway through cooking.

Stir in the vanilla and butter, and microwave another 2 minutes on HIGH. Carefully take the bowl out, because it will be very hot!

Add the baking soda and stir until the mixture becomes foamy and light. Be careful not to overstir!

Quickly pour the mixture onto the cookie sheet using

Hints from Heloise a metal knife. You may need help with this.

Evenly spread the mixture to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Let it cool, then break into pieces and store the peanut brittle in an airtight container or a plastic, zip-top bag. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com SELF-RISING FLOUR Dear Heloise: As I was growing up, my grandmother said that you could use selfrising flour in baking instead of plain flour, baking powder and salt. Is this regardless of the measurements for the baking powder and salt? — Renee P. in North Carolina No, you need to be aware of the measurements, which are the following: 1 cup allpurpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

table salt. These measurements are what change plain flour to self-rising flour. — Heloise SAVING WRAPPERS Dear Heloise: I always use the wrappers from sticks of butter to grease casserole dishes or baking sheets. When I have wrappers but no cooking immediately planned for which they will be used, I store the wrappers in the freezer.

The freezer keeps the wrappers fresh and ready to use. — Kelly T. in Illinois COOKING BACON Dear Heloise: We cook our bacon outside in an electric skillet to keep odor and splatters out of the house.

Horoscope Thursday, July 17, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You often have a short fuse.

(Hey, you’re wonderfully creative and generous — no one is perfect.) Be patient today, because the Moon is in your sign and everyone is feisty.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might find others difficult to deal with today (first early in the morning, then late in the day). Avoid power struggles, because they could get nasty.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Squabbles with a female acquaintance about money or possessions might arise today.

You might feel annoyed in the morning, and by evening, you are steamed. Patience.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Do not wake the sleeping giant today when it comes to dealing with bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. It’s too easy to have a confrontation with someone in authority — and you won’t like it.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Avoid controversial subjects today, because it’s easy to get into a fight with someone.

Don’t talk about politics, religion or racial issues. Be smart.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Squabbles about shared property or who is responsible for what could arise today. Could be in the early morning or could be in the evening. Just walk away. Don’t get involved.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You like to keep the peace, because you like harmony in your world. This might be challenging today, because squabbles with female friends or partners might catch you unaware. Whoops.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Avoid arguments with coworkers today, because it’s just not worth it. Why make a fuss or alienate someone when you have to work with them the next day anyway?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Parents must be patient with children today, because this is the classic day for hissy fits and meltdowns.

In fact, romantic partnerships might be rocky as well. Take it easy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Domestic squabbles are likely today, especially with females in the family. To keep the peace, try to avoid this. It’s not worth it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This could be an accidentprone day for you, because you might be distracted or angry about something. Think before you speak or act.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Quarrels about money, possessions or earnings might arise today. Do what you can to sidestep these, because you won’t gain anything and you might lose a friend.

YOU BORN TODAY You are ambitious. You are confident and serious about attaining

goals. (Sometimes money and power are your goals, but not always.) Your strength is in your strong convictions. This is a year of growth. Specifically, many of you will build or construct something, but in doing so, there will be challenges. Do not make changes yet — wait till next year.

Panthers enter districts with momentum Second straight one-run victory secured

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

National Digest AL wins MINNEAPOLIS — Derek Jeter soaked in the adulation from fans and players during one more night on baseball’s national stage, set the tone for the American League with a pregame speech and then delivered two final All-Star hits.

Mike Trout, perhaps the top candidate to succeed the 40-year-old Yankees captain as the face of the game, seemed ready to assume the role with a tiebreaking triple and later a go-ahead double that earned the 22-yearold MVP honors.

On a summer evening filled with reminders of generational change, the AL kept up nearly two decades of dominance by beating the National League 5-3 Tuesday for its 13th win in 17 years.

Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer to help give the AL champion home-field advantage for the World Series.

A 14-time All-Star who was MVP of the 2000 game in Atlanta, Jeter announced in February this will be his final season. His hits left him with a .481 All-Star average (13 for 27), just behind Charlie Gehringer’s .500 record (10 for 20) for players with 20 or more at-bats.

The AL improved to 9-3 since the All-Star game started deciding which league gets Series home-field advantage; 23 of the last 28 titles were won by teams scheduled to host four of a possible seven games.

Detroit’s Max Scherzer, in line to be the mostprized free agent pitcher after the season, pitched a scoreless fifth for the win, and Glen Perkins got the save in his home ballpark.

Jok suspended IOWA CITY — Iowa sophomore Peter Jok has been suspended indefinitely from all basketball related activities.

Iowa men’s basketball coach Fran McCaffery made the announcement on Tuesday after Jok was arrested on Monday evening and charged with driving a moped with a suspended license.

Jok was charged with drunken driving on his moped in April.

Wade re-signs MIAMI — The Miami Heat has re-signed guard Dwyane Wade, the team announced on Tuesday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Dwyane has been the franchise cornerstone for this team since the day he arrived 11 years ago,” Heat president Pat Riley said in a statement. “He has shown his commitment to the Heat many times over the course of his career and has always been willing to sacrifice in order to help build this team into a champion.”

Miami originally selected Wade out of Marquette with the fifth overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft. In 11 seasons with the Heat, Wade has averaged 24.3 points, 6.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds per game.

Just in time.

The Creston baseball team seems to have turned around its fortunes in onerun games with the district tournament on the horizon.

The Panthers entered the week with a 1-8 record in one-run games. Creston wrapped up its regular season with victories of 5-4 over ADM Monday and 2-1 over Chariton (17-17) Tuesday to close the Panther Field careers of seven senior players.

Creston, 13-14 in the regular season with the 3-8 record in games with the narrowest of margins, opens Class 3A district play at 5 p.m. Friday at Atlantic against Winterset, which ends its regular season tonight against league rival Perry. The Huskies improved to 19-7 Tuesday with an 11-1 victory over ADM. Regardless of Creston’s relative record, coach Steve Birchard said his team has shown the ability to knock off quality teams, including a split with Hawkeye

Creston coach Steve Birchard congratulates senior Trevor Luther as the Panther senior rounds third base after hitting his first home run of the season in the first inning Tuesday against Chariton in his final appearance at Panther Field. Luther also scored the second run in Creston’s 2-1 victory.

10 champ and sixth-ranked Harlan, the substate’s topseeded team.

“After getting swept by Lewis Central (Thursday), I feared that two games was

not enough to get the confidence back and go with it,” Birchard said. “But with

our defensive performance and pitching the past two nights, I think we’re back. If we can hit the ball, that’s the key for us. I’m feeling like it will take a good team with a good effort to beat us.”

Certainly there’s plenty of incentive on this senior-laden team to mount a strong playoff run.

One of those seven seniors, Trevor Luther, was the catalyst Monday night. He hit his first home run of the season to establish a 1-0 lead in the first inning, got the pitching decision in a two-inning relief effort despite having to pitch out of a jam in the fourth, and scored the team’s other run on a double by fellow senior Nate Haley in the bottom of the fourth.

“We wanted to go out the right way at home and we did,” Luther said. “We’ve had a lot of one-run games this year. It was nice to get another one. Going into the Winterset game, we know we can beat them. Harlan is the number one seed, and we beat them and lost by one. We have just as good a Please see PANTHERS, page 9A

ST. MARYS — The bottom of Nodaway Valley’s batting order came up big in a 7-2 win over Iowa Christian Academy here Tuesday in a Class 1A District 13 opener.

No. 8 hitter in the order Sam Marnin delivered a 3-for-3 performance at the plate, coming up just a triple short of hitting for the cycle.

Marnin hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the second inning to put the Wolverines on the board, added an RBI single in the third inning and roped a double off the fence in the fifth inning.

“Sammy was on tonight,” Nodaway Valley head coach Dan Jameson said. “He was seeing the ball well. He took good BP today. He’s always been a real solid line drive hitter. He did a nice job and got ahold of that one in the second inning.”

ST. MARYS — The first season of the Tyler Peterson era at Orient-Macksburg came to an end here Tuesday in a 10-0 loss in five innings to host MartensdaleSt. Marys in a Class 1A District 13 opener.

The eighth-ranked Blue Devils scored in every inning, eventually getting the win on a wild pitch to end the game on the 10-run mercy rule in the fifth inning.

Orient-Macksburg finished its season with a mark of 8-13 in Peterson’s first year as head coach.

“Really great,” senior Chantz Davidson said about Peterson’s first year as head coach. “Of course we all miss coach (Luis) Cruz, but coach Peterson did a great job filling in. He took command really well.

After freshman catcher Jackson Mikkelsen rapped a two-out double off the left field fence in the top of the first inning, the Bulldog bats went Mikkelsen quiet.

Martensdale-St. Marys starter Dylan Gibson retired nine in a row after Mikkelsen’s double, until Davidson hit a single up the middle in the top of the fourth inning.

But those were the only two hits allowed by the Blue Devil pitchers. Gibson went four innings with five strikeouts and no walks. Tanner Foster pitched the final inning, striking out all three batters he faced.

On the other side, OrientMacksburg junior Jordan Thompson gave up 10 runs on 10 hits, striking out three.

He also walked two batters intentionally and hit three batters.

But Thompson battled in the early innings, working out of jams in the first and second innings.

“Basically, just wanted to get ahead and I knew they were first pitch, pretty aggressive hitters,” Thompson said. “They spread it everywhere.”

The Blue Devils struck for three runs in the third inning and two more in the fourth and fifth innings to get to the 10-0 lead.

“It’s always tough when you draw a team like this first round,” Davidson said.

“I felt like we did a good job of handling all the pressure. Everybody kind of Davidson gets a little bit excited when you play a team like Martensdale.”

Luther swung on a high fastball by Chariton lefthanded starter Andrew Palmer and sent it high over the center field fence for a solo homer with two outs in the first inning.

In the top of the fourth he reached on an infield error, and scored on a double by Nate Haley that took a high hop over Charger center fielder Jon Lazar. Haley was then out trying to get to third base on the play.

The Panthers had only five hits, with two of them

Pitching was the strength of this Panther victory.

Freshmen Chase Shiltz and Kadon Hulett combined with Luther to hurl a onehitter.

Shiltz, Friday’s likely starter, pitched the first two innings with no runs and no hits all o w e d , Shiltz with a pair of strikeouts and one walk.

Luther stranded two baserunners who reached on walks in the third when he fanned No. 3 batter Brett Braida.

He encountered more trouble in the fourth when the Chargers tied it at 1-1.

The bases were loaded on a single, walk and error by Luther on a bunt. A wild pitch scored Austin Ritenour and Luther again loaded the bases with another walk.

Then his defense bailed him out, with fellow seniors playing key roles.

Center fielder Cole Crawford ran in to catch a liner in shallow center hit

in on the action, too.

Herr finished 2-for-3 with a single and an RBI double.

“He’s another one that saw the ball well,” Jameson said. “You get production like that out of your eight and nine, you’ll take that all the time. They really picked us up.”

Sophomore pitcher Jackson Lamb also had a good day at the plate, going 3-for-4 with three singles.

He picked up the win after pitching 5 1/3 innings, giving up two runs on nine hits with four walks and four strikeouts.

Hulett picked up the save in the 2-1 victory with three perfect innings of relief, including three strikeouts in the fifth and a strikeout to end the game.

Aaron Cain. The inning ended on a groundball to Birchard.

Luther got the decision as he scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the fourth.

Hulett then came on to pitch the final three innings and was perfect, retiring nine in order including four by strikeouts. Shortstop Conner Pals made two plays in the seventh inning to finish with three assists.

“Hulett looked really good tonight and Shiltz regained some form,” Birchard said. “Now I’m thinking Chase Friday night with Kadon right behind him if we have any trouble. We’ll worry about Monday when it comes.

We have about five guys all about the same and I feel pretty good about using any of them.”

Seniors playing on Panther Field for the final time were Luther, Crawford, Birchard, Haley, Brandon Phipps, Garrett Taylor and Trey Benson.

Junior varsity Creston’s JV wrapped up a 13-7 season with a 7-6 victory over Chariton.

Brenden McDowell pitched 5 1/3 innings with three hits allowed, six strikeouts and three walks.

Colton Bolinger got the save with 2/3 of an inning

Will Gordon drove in two runs for the Panthers.

Cody Crawford had a double and RBI, Dalton O’Riley hit a double and finishing with two hits each were Bolinger and Brody Frain. One of Frain’s hits was a double.

“The last two games our hitting was nice,” Creston coach Ben Landers said. “Throughout the season, our pitching was good enough to keep us in games, even if we weren’t hitting great. They played well, especially for a bunch of freshmen and eighthgraders playing JV.” The same group split two games Friday against the Chariton freshmen. McDowell pitched the 6-1 victory and helped his cause with two hits and an RBI. Jaden Driskell had two hits and two RBI in the 10-6 loss. Gavin Woods pitched for the Panthers.

“We’d been struggling a little bit here lately to finish games,” coach Jameson said. “It felt good to get it done. The guys really stepped up and hit the ball well tonight. I’m real proud of how the guys stepped up and made the plays.”

Senior right fielder Baley Shantz added an RBI single in the bottom of the fifth inning and after Jameson walked in the sixth inning, he scored on a passed ball and two wild pitches.

The win improved Nodaway Valley to 11-12 for the season, and earns the Wolverines a return trip to St. Marys to take on Class 1A eighth-ranked Martensdale-St. Marys, which defeated Orient-Macksburg 10-0 on Monday (see related story).

The two Pride of Iowa Conference opponents met back on June 27 in St. Marys, with the Blue Devils coming out on top, 5-2.

“Martensdale, they’re tough,” Jameson said.
