Drowning victim identified as CHS teacher

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

AFTON — The name of the Creston man who drowned Monday evening in Twelve Mile Lake was released Tuesday.

The body of Rich Gander, 45, of Creston was recovered by divers about 9:15 a.m. Tuesday on the southwest side of the lake below about 15 feet of water.

Gander was reported missing 6:15 p.m. Monday when a fellow fisherman found an empty boat on the lake.

Authorities searched the water

for Gander until sundown Monday. The search continued 7:30 a.m.

Tuesday morning with assistance from Department of Natural Re- Gander sources and Midwest Regional Dive team.

They found his body at about 9:15 a.m. Tuesday about 30 feet from the shore.

“This was a fast recovery,” said Mark Sedlmayr with the Department of Natural Resources, “which is great because in these

situations it’s all about bringing closure to family. This recovery was a cooperative effort from the divers and several state and local entities.”

Gander was a mathematics teacher at Creston High School last school year and coached the Creston freshman softball team this summer. He also ran the game

clock for all home basketball games last winter. He was about to start his second year with the Creston school system.

Bill Messerole, principal at Creston High School, worked with Gander for a total of 10 years in the Centerville and Creston school districts. He recruited Gander to come to Creston last year when a

SCHOOL SUPPLY

costs increase nationally, locally Iowa sales tax holiday set for Friday, Saturday

By BAILEY POOLMAN CNA staff reporter

bpoolman@crestonnews.com

The end of summer vacations loom as the first day of school draws closer. And, with the first day of school comes shopping for clothes, shoes and supplies.

However, according to Huntington National Bank’s statistics, the average annual cost of school supplies has increased more than 20 percent in all grade levels since 2010, and the cost has risen more than 7 percent since 2013.

Costs include things such as calculators, notebooks, athletic and music fees, college preparatory material and backpacks.

While some stores have not seen an increase, several local teachers who buy school supplies for students have.

“Cost has gone way up,” said Bailey Fry-Schnormeier, Creston High School art teacher. “I budget carefully, look for good deals and scavenge for anything I think I can repurpose for my students.”

Fry-Schnormeier said during the spring 2014 semester, her 3-D design students used mostly recycled materials from the community for

ating high school, but she said it hasn’t affected her as much.

“I don’t know if I’ve noticed a lot of it (price increase),” Mayer said.

With school just around the corner, some parents can be found in the clothing and shoe aisles at local stores, looking for that one bargain for their child’s first day outfit.

One such sale is Iowa’s sales tax holiday, an annual two-day event the first weekend in August when certain types of clothing and footwear can be purchased without paying sales tax or local option sales tax.

From midnight Aug. 1 to midnight Aug. 3, no sales tax will be on clothes and shoes.

“Any business who sells items of clothing or shoes will have to participate,” said Ellen Gerharz, executive director of Creston Chamber of Commerce. “The state

After 36 years in the athletic department at Southwestern Community College (SWCC), Bill Krejci will be stepping down from his position as director of athletics and athletic fundraising as of August 29, 2014.

Krejci, originally from Chicago, will be moving to Des Moines with his wife, Teresa, also an employee at SWCC, who recently accepted a position at Drake University.

Krejci said the move is not an easy one for him.

“I am headed to Des Moines with my wife,” Krejci said. “For years, she has supported me in my career and I really appreciate that. Now it’s my turn to support her.”

Krejci’s name has been syn- Krejci onymous with SWCC baseball since 1978 when he started at the college as assistant director of student activities, physical education instructor, and head baseball coach. He came to SWCC from Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Mo., where he played for the Bearcats from 1971-73. Krejci served as an assistant for the Bearcats baseball team while he completed his graduate studies, earning his master’s degree in education in 1976.

Throughout his 22 years of coaching, Krejci put SWCC baseball on the map, earning the respect of players and coaches nationwide. He oftentimes

math position became available.

“He had a knack for taking a room of students — some of which do not like math or even school — and getting them to learn,” Messerole said. “That’s why I recruited him. He could control a classroom and do it with dignity and respect for the students. He will be missed.”

Mike McCabe, head softball coach at Creston, said Gander did an excellent job with the young Panther softball players.

4-H, FFA end projects at county’s fair sale

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

AFTON — Union County Fair ended Thursday with the conclusion of 4-H and FFA beef, sheep, goat, swine and poultry projects being sold at the fair’s sale.

Most market animals that are not going on to the Iowa State Fair (Aug. 7-17) or to another featured show and have reached proper market rate are sold at the sale.

“This was our first year for boiler poultry,” said Kim Baker, who served as the clerk for the Union County Fair sale.

Chad Rieck, station manager for KSIB and Union County Cattlemen member, said the Union County Fair sale puts a lot of emphasis on making it a positve experience for the 4-H and FFA kids.

“I don’t know any other sale like it,” Rieck said. “The whole thing that makes the sale so good is the volunteers that go out and help get dollars from area businesses. They

know it is going to the youth.”

Baker said about 200 business and countless volunteers work together to help 4-H and FFA families complete the full process of raising the project, showing it and selling it.

Each species has a floor price

He loved life and always had a smile on his face. He loved spending time with his family and friends, but his favorite place to go was Aruba to spend time with his Aruban family. Mickey’s passion was his Harley, and he passed away being out on the open road, doing what he loved the most.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, August 1, 2014 at the White Funeral Home and Crematory with Reverend Sonya Toby officiating. The family will receive friends from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 31st, at the funeral home.

SUPPLIES: Continued from Page 1

Mayer purchases some supplies for students whose families may not be able to afford them, but overall she said she tries to avoid making purchases.

“We have school supply lists of what students need to bring. ... Some kids can’t afford it, so I do supply them with it,” Mayer said.

“I really don’t (buy supplies). I just use some of the things I already have.”

Mayer said she spends approximately $20 each month on supplies or other things for her classroom, and some of the things teachers purchase can be reimbursed by the school district.

Stores Creston Hy-Vee has not seen an increase in school supply costs, according to Travis Messerly, manager of store operations.

“There’s no real increase at Hy-Vee,” Messerly said.

Messerly said everything from supplies to the people buying them have remained fairly consistent. People who shop at Hy-Vee include those in the southwest Iowa area.

“We get a little bit from everywhere,” Messerly said.

“Some from Creston, others from surrounding areas.”

Other places, such as Dollar General and Walmart in Creston offer notebooks, Post-It notes, crayons, pens, calculators and other supplies students may need for getting back in the classroom.

greatly missed.”

Kruzich did say Gander didn’t participate in a lot of group activities at Centerville. He liked doing hobbies — like fishing — alone for the most part.

Authorities confirmed this morning that Gander was alone Monday evening and not wearing a life jacket.

They did say two unused life jackets were found inside Gander’s boat during the search Monday into Tuesday.

This is the first drowning on a major lake in Union County since June 1999

when Don Newton of Kellerton jumped into Three Mile Lake to retrieve a water ski and never resurfaced. Newton was not wearing a life jacket.

(CNA Sports Editor Scott Vicker contributed to this story)

DROWNING: One of those friends was fellow teacher Matt Kruzich, who was hired the same year (1998) as Gander in Centerville. Kruzich said they became friends through conversations about how to connect with students, music and athletics.

“He was a music buff,” Kruzich said. “He liked alternative music best — bands like U2, R.E.M. and Rush. We also compared notes about students and how to connect and motive them. This is a tragic loss. He’s a friend and fellow educator that will be

OPINION Overcoming the media blockade in Gaza

According to the United Nations, one child has been killed in Gaza every hour for the past two days. Overall, the Israeli military has killed close to 700 Palestinians, the vast majority civilians, since the assault on Gaza began more than two weeks ago. Details of the slaughter make their way into the world’s media, with horrific accounts of children killed on the beach, of hospital intensive-care units bombed, of first responders, searching for wounded amid the rubble, killed by Israeli sniper fire.

Armed resistance groups in Gaza, most notably that of the area’s elected government, Hamas, have fired thousands of crude rockets that have killed two in Israel.

Since Israel began its land invasion of Gaza, more than 30 Israeli soldiers have been killed. One of the greatest challenges in understanding the situation in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories is getting reliable information. This latest assault on Gaza reaffirms the key role played by the U.S. media in maintaining the information blockade. It also highlights the increasing importance of pressure applied by social networks.

One headline said it all: “Missile at Beachside Gaza Cafe Finds Patrons Poised for World Cup.” That

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

was The New York Times, referring to a missile strike in Gaza that killed at least eight people on the beach in the town of Khan Younis. Ali Abunimah, a prominent Palestinian-American journalist who co-founded the website The Electronic Intifada, mockingly tweeted: “Israeli missile stops by Gaza cafe for a drink and dialogue with its Palestinian friends.” The odd, passive phrasing of the original headline became the subject of a global social-media firestorm.

The New York Times replaced the headline with “In Rubble of Gaza Seaside Cafe, Hunt for Victims Who Had Come for Soccer.”

This wasn’t the first time in this latest attack on Gaza that a major news organization got a black eye. On July 16, NBC reporter Ayman Mohyeldin witnessed an Israeli strike on a Gaza beach that killed four young boys who were playing soccer. After the deadly strike, Mohyeldin’s graphic tweets alerted the world to the breaking

news: “4 Palestinian kids killed in a single Israeli airstrike. Minutes before they were killed by our hotel, I was kicking a ball with them #gaza.” He tweeted that they were all first cousins. He tweeted their names and ages: 1) Ahed Atef Bakr 10 yrs old 2) Zakaria Ahed Bakr 10 yrs old 3) Mohamed Ramez Bakr 11 yrs old 4) Ismael Mohamed Bakr 9 yrs old” Mohyeldin raced to the Al-Shifa hospital and witnessed members of the Bakr family as they learned of the killing of the boys.

It would have been normal for the eyewitness to break the story on the “NBC Nightly News.” Instead it was journalist Richard Engel on the screen reporting from Tel Aviv. Pulitzer Prize-winning Glenn Greenwald told me on the “Democracy Now!” news hour what he learned about NBC’s decision-making around Mohyeldin after he reported on the deaths: “What was really stunning was, later that day, after what arguably was his biggest or one of his biggest events in his journalism career, where he really made a huge impact on having the world understand what’s happening in Gaza, they not only blocked him

from appearing on the air to talk about it on NBC News, but then they told him to leave Gaza immediately.”

Social media lit up in protest, with the hashtag #letAymanreport. By Friday night, NBC announced that Mohyeldin would be back. Mohyeldin tweeted, “Thanks for all the support. Im returning to #Gaza to report. Proud of NBC’s continued commitment to cover the #Palestinian side of the story.”

But back in NBC’s studios, the trouble was not over. Rula Jebreal is a Palestinian author and political analyst. She has been a paid contributor on MSNBC, where, during an interview this week, she critiqued that cable network’s coverage of Gaza: “We are disgustingly biased when it comes to this issue. Look at how [much] airtime [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and his folks have on air on a daily basis, Andrea Mitchell and others. I never see one Palestinian being interviewed on these same issues.” She tweeted later, “My forthcoming TV appearances have been canceled! Is there a link between my expose and the cancellation?” While MSNBC host Chris Hayes bravely brought her onto

his show to discuss her critique, she is unsure if her contract will be renewed.

Early in this latest assault on Gaza, I asked Joshua Hantman, senior adviser to Israel’s ambassador to the United States, about the mounting death toll, the majority civilian. He chillingly replied: “I’ll be honest, the precision is quite outstanding. And there is no military in the history of the world that has actually used such precision targets.” The terror and death wreaked by the precision of which Hantman boasts is made clear, day after day, thanks to the work of too few courageous journalists, supported by an engaged global citizenry, using social networks to overcome traditional media blockades. *** Denis Moynihan contributed research to this column. *** Amy Goodman is the host of “Democracy Now!,” a daily international TV/radio news hour airing on more than 1,200 stations in North America. She is the co-author of “The Silenced Majority,” a New York Times best-seller. (c) 2014 Amy Goodman Distributed by King Features Syndicate

Cleveland Browns concerned with Johnny Manziel behavior The Cleveland Browns expressed concerned about the behavior of Johnny Manziel after he was photographed rolling a twentydollar bill in a bathroom. It looks bad. Ohioans are worried he may be out of control and Texans just disowned him for snorting coke with a twenty.

John Kerry returned to Washington from brokering peace talks between the two sides in the war in Gaza. He’s really done a remarkable thing, he’s gotten the Israelis and Palestinians to reach an accord. They have agreed tostop shooting at each other and unite to shoot at Kerry.

President Obama slapped trade, energy and financial sanctions on Russia Tuesday after the E.U. agreed to levy the same sanctions.

The Russians didn’t exactly fold on the news. Vladimir Putin immediately offered to arm-wrestle President Obama, the winner gets Ukraine.

Russia responded to U.S. sanctions by accusing the McDonald’s restaurants in Moscowof consumer fraud. It’s a crackdown on American fast food joints. Russia ordered McDonald’s to post the calorie count on all their menu items and they’re forcing Cinnabon to post its

Shelley Sterling won a court case to sell the Clippers to Microsoft’s CEO after her husband offended blackpeople. Donald Sterling lost his courtcase and made two billion dollars. Two things on this earth are just impossible, defying gravity and explaining Los Angeles to outsiders.

The NFL released a list of fines for onfield player misconduct this fall. The league warned teams not to secretly offer players bounties for injuring opponents. Last year one NFL team paid players fifteen hundred for cart-offs, a thousand for knockouts and ten dollars for fiancees.

President Obama returned to work in the Oval Office Sunday after a week in Washington state and California raising money for the Democrats. He’s now spoken at four hundred fundraisers since he became president it’s absolutely amazing he can find the time to play golf.

Ernst commercial seems really odd From Monica McCarthy Creston

I see the Joni Ernst commercial where she accuses Bruce Braley of insulting Chuck Grassley by calling him a farmer. Uh — Ms. Ernst — Chuck Grassley is a farmer.

Why would you say that Braley is insulting Grassley by calling him a farmer? In fact, you say that you are a farmer, also.

Another great Union County Fair From Ron Dunphy Union County

With great fanfare another Union County Fair is in the record books. Competitions of all sorts involving animals or handiwork were held and the outcome much to the liking of all county residents or beyond, grandparents from where?

As a grandparent, I could not help notice and appreciate the involvement of parents in the proj-

ects. Yes, I did also notice the good number of folks who could and did help though the 4-Hers might not be family related.

To conclude the fair was the auction. A staple allowing for local business and local family to offer financial reward for all of the good, project long efforts. This should be a time for hardworking youth to learn the lesson that effort earns recognition.

I would note here that the an-

nouncement of Polly Sweeps last pie for sale brought a certain wetness to my eyes. Polly’s wild gooseberry pies have long brought large donations to the 4-H program, actually any berry contained in one of her pies was a special treat. Thank you SO much Polly (and Dennis).

The “educator” in me wishes this great effort by children and parents continues when school doors open. There is so much more to be learned and earned!

Do you understand that you are insulting your own self and many other fine Iowa farmers? Being a farmer is something to be PROUD of; it is NOT an insult.

Your logic sounds like the pathetic Sarah Palin.

Bruce Braley has worked to save Social Security, strengthen Medicare, and was of course a major supporter of the ACA. His support has allowed many formerly

Show us the proof, not just the dream! Show us how we will be able to heat and cool Lincoln School. If we will remember, one of the main reasons for the consolidation of all of the grade schools into one was the high cost of heating. Cooling was not even a consideration as no schools were cooled, with maybe the principal’s office as the exception. Lest we forget, power always flows uphill. Show us the actual costs of installing a geothermal unit and just how much of a break we might qualify for from the utility company. I’m sure these costs and savings are available from Alliant.

I think the current library board is correct in shifting the emphasis from a library to a cultural center.

Sometimes we don’t see it, but

change happens every day and in every way. As an “oldie” I don’t necessarily like change. As a bookseller for nearly 40 years, I’ve lived through the cycling of book reading. Right now, we are caught up in this techno-gadget period and interest in the reading of an actual printed book is down. Given time, I don’t know how much time, white page reading will return.

Today, we see a large contingent of younger people living in Creston. They often do not see the importance of hanging on to the past.

They are the new technologists.

They’ve come along with the new age and have chosen to live in Creston, eager to bring with them, the new world, the coffee shop crowd, the diversified centers of the arts, and above all, they want their children to be given every opportunity to learn and experience the new

ways.

So, where does all this talk bring us? I wish I knew. It’s a tough place to be in. From one point of view, if we could get the corporate and foundation “heads up” with most of the building costs, it would be a godsend and for the sake of the children, we should probably support it. From a historical point of view, I think probably even the Gibson family realize the importance of changing along with change.

There will be no clear answers to this problem. Keeping in mind that our taxes are high and our incomes are not, every decision will be a tough one and will most certainly not satisfy everyone. The fact that we don’t get to vote grinds on everyone’s mind, but then, this is not the only entity that gets to spend money with or without majority approval.

ENTERTAINMENT Funny little kiwifruit Dear Readers: Have you enjoyed the delicious taste of the funny little brown, furry KIWIFRUIT? These small, fuzzy fruits are just plain fun to eat!

They do have a great taste, sort of like strawberries, but not really. When buying, pass over extremely soft or bruised fruit. Squeeze the little fuzzball (not too hard), and it should “give” a little. Time to eat and enjoy.

If still firm, you can ripen the fruit at room temperature (they do look nice in a bowl on the kitchen counter), or in a paper bag with an apple to speed up the process. Once ripened, kiwifruit can be kept in the refrigerator for up to four weeks, or left at room temperature for a few days. — Heloise P.S.: Did you know you can eat the skin of a kiwifruit? It is completely edible, but most people peel the skin before eating. However, now that I have learned this, I’m going to try one with the skin on!

Second, I place a layer of hazelnut spread or peanut butter around the inside of the cone before the ice cream is added for an extra-special flavor surprise. — Tara W. in Florida SHINY OR DULL?

Iowa Supreme Court to hear Louisell case in September Iowa Gov. Branstad gets (MCT) — The Iowa Supreme support for opposition to Court has agreed to hear arguments Louisell case background this fall for the case of a woman who hosting ‘illegal entrants’ was sentenced to life in prison for Yvette Louisell, now 43, was 17 when she fatally stabbed a paraplegic murder when she was 17, and is now trying to gain her freedom.

The U.S. Supreme Court and the Iowa Supreme Court have both ruled in the past two years that it was unconstitutional for juvenile offenders to be automatically sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole — the sentence Yvette Louisell received in 1988 when she was convicted of first-degree murder.

After those rulings, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad commuted the sentences of 38 Iowa convicts from life without parole to life with no parole until 60 years have been served.

Louisell, now 43, was 17 when she fatally stabbed a paraplegic Ames man in his 40s inside his home. Louisell was a freshman at Iowa State University, and had met Keith Stillwell during an art class on campus where she was a nude model.

Stillwell invited Louisell to his home for a private modeling session, and at some point during a session on Dec. 6, 1988, Louisell stabbed him six times.

Ames man in his 40s inside his home. Keith Stillwell invited Louisell to his home for a private modeling session, and at some point during a session on Dec. 6, 1988, Louisell stabbed him six times.

During a jury trial the next summer, Louisell argued he had attacked her first, and her actions had been in self-defense, but she was convicted of first-degree murder.

After Branstad commuted the 38 life sentences in one fell swoop, Louisell and her attorney, Gordon Allen, petitioned Story County District Court for a resentencing hearing.

District Court Judge James Ellefson initially denied the request for a new sentence, but after that decision was overturned by the Iowa Supreme Court in October 2013, Ellefson sentenced Louisell to 25 years in prison — a sentence she has already completed.

At the resentencing hearing, Story County Attorney Stephen Holmes argued Louisell’s resentencing should be postponed until after the Iowa Legislature has set new sentencing guidelines for juveniles convicted of

first-degree murder.

Louisell has gained a number of public supporters over the years, including the former county attorney who prosecuted her and the judge who sentenced her.

She was joined by more than 30 of them at the January resentencing, including a Des Moines woman who said she was hoping Louisell would come live with her after she’s free.

Ellefson’s ruling was again appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court, this time by the Iowa Attorney General’s Office, who is arguing that while the district court is allowed to strike down an unconstitutional sentence, it’s not authorized to create a new sentence.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments for the case Sept. 11 during a session in Iowa City.

VINTON (MCT) — Gov. Terry Branstad is getting some brickbats from political opponents for his insistence that Iowa shouldn’t be playing host to unaccompanied children who have entered the country illegally but none of that was evident on the campaign trail Tuesday.

Asked whether the state should welcome the children, Branstad offered his empathy for the “illegal entrants” along with criticism of the Obama administration’s failure to secure the nation’s borders.

“They have also failed to keep us informed,” he added, a reference to the federal Department of Health Education and Welfare not telling Iowa that more than 100 children who entered the country illegally have been placed in the states.

The state has not been told who the children are, how old they are, their health status, where they are and who they are with, he said.

That seemed to meet with agreement from the more than 40 people who attended his campaign stop at Pizza Ranch in Vinton, which is friendly territory for the governor. In 2010, Branstad carried Benton County 5541 percent over incumbent Democratic Gov. Chet Culver four years ago.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Sen. Jack Hatch has called for a Coalition of Mercy to welcome the children to Iowa in the tradition of the efforts to resettle Southeast Asian refugees after the Vietnam War. —————— MCT Information Services

BUSINESS Theme parks offering smart-phone options to improve visitor experience Folks don’t leave their trusty smartphones at home when they go on vacation. They use them for work and play while traveling, and central Florida’s theme parks and attractions are taking advantage of the growing trend.

Park visitors, armed with their phones and tablets, can monitor lines for popular rides, make dining reservations, plot routes and get reminders of where they parked the minivan — all on the fly.

“People are now using their mobile device to enhance their experience,”

said Toni Caracciolo, vice president of marketing for SeaWorld Parks & Resorts. “It used to be that maybe I’d use my iPhone or iPad to purchase my tickets, now it’s actually engaging throughout the entire day.”

SeaWorld’s revamped app includes information about the animals seen at the theme park and a scavenger-hunt activity, she said.

“Your child can learn more about animals … and at the same time be petting a stingray,” Caracciolo said.

Number of walk-off wins by the Orioles this season —2nd only to the Pirates (9) — after Manny Machado’s 12th-inning homer Tuesday.

National Digest

Cyclones fall DES MOINES — A comeback came up just short as the tying run was thrown out at the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning, giving Davenport Assumption an 8-7 win over Harlan in a Class 3A state baseball quarterfinal.

The Cyclones, who trailed 7-1 after 5 1/2 innings, were down 8-5 entering the final half inning. Cale Stork started the rally with a one-out single against Assumption reliever Andrew Quested. Mitch Kramer followed with a walk and Kyle Juhl singled to load the bases.

Quested was then replaced on the mound by freshman Trenton Wallace, who had thrown just 5 2/3 innings in two appearances all season.

Adam Juhl flied out to center for the second out.

Nate Gettys drew a walk, cutting the lead to 8-6, then Dillon Sears singled to center, scoring Kramer, but pinchrunner Adam Rasmussen was thrown out at the plate, ending the game.

Assumption will play top-ranked and topseeded Waverly-Shell Rock in a semifinal at noon Friday.

Harlan’s season ends at 25-9. The Cyclones lose four seniors in Gettys, Derek Leinen, Stork and Adam Juhl.

Scores of other 3A quarterfinal games Tuesday were WaverlyShell Rock 3, Solon 1; Sergeant Bluff-Luton 2, Algona 1; Dallas Center-Grimes 3, Fairfield 0 (9 innings).

Class 4A competition begins today, including sixth-seeded Southeast Polk (29-13) vs. thirdseeded Cedar Rapids Kennedy (31-6) at 8 p.m. Southeast Polk is coached by Creston natives Scott Belger and assistant Dave Hartman.

Laker coach EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — The Los Angeles Lakers introduced former showtime era player and new head coach Byron Scott on Tuesday.

Scott won three titles with the team from 1983 to 1993 and played again during Kobe Bryant’s rookie season.

Scott even had the approval from Lakers greats Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Jamaal Wilkes, who were in attendance during the press conference.

“We came here today to support our brother and our former teammate and champion Byron Scott and also we’re here to support the Laker organization,” Johnson said.

Scully returns LOS ANGELES — Vin Scully is staying in the booth for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

H-10 champion Panthers celebrate successful season

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

The Creston softball team, which won a share of the Hawkeye 10 Conference championship this season, celebrated its strong season at the team’s postseason awards banquet in the Creston High School commons on Friday.

For a team with no seniors, there’s still plenty to be optimistic about for next year, as well.

“Usually you have some tears there and some final goodbyes (with seniors), but not the case,” head coach Mike McCabe said. “This group will have designs on trying to get that sixth conference championship in the McCabe last seven years.

“Our conference was young, though. There will be a lot of good players returning. It will be pretty competitive again. We’ll kind of have to turn the page.

Maybe enjoy it for a little bit longer, but then move on and be ready to go for a new group, even though it’s the same group.”

McCabe said he was glad this group of players, led by a junior class that includes Haylee LaMasters, Brenna Baker and Natalie Mostek, was able to claim a conference championship.

“This was the core group of kids that kind of had to follow two pretty good groups two and three years ago, with Carla (Smith) and Shelby (Kramer) and then of course Maddie (Haines), Madison (Frain) and Katlin

(Briley).

“They got a lot of accolades and won some titles, and this group was kind of the forgotten group. I thought they made a great run at it last year until the final week and set it as a goal this year to do that. I’m really proud of them. I think they felt a little justification that they carried on a little bit of tradition.”

After dealing with numerous injuries during the offseason, an early start to the conference season this year

provided added pressure on the Panther team.

LaMasters dealt with a wrist injury during the offseason, while Baker suffered a knee injury in basketball. Taylor Briley suffered a concussion during basketball and had a leg injury during track. Freshman Hannah Hood, who figured to play a big part for the Panthers this year, had shoulder surgery and missed the entire season.

Quick Slants: Two departures and an injury

By MARC MOREHOUSE The Gazette

CHICAGO — Iowa is officially in the market for a No. 3 quarterback.

Head coach Kirk Ferentz announced Monday that redshirt freshman quarterback Nic Shimonek has decided to transfer. Also, linebacker Laron Taylor also will transfer from Iowa.

Rivals.com reported that Shimonek will walk on at Texas Tech, which is closer to his home in Corsicana, Texas.

“Nic has just been tremendous,” Ferentz said.

“He’s a good quarterback and a very good prospect.

I think it was as simple as he looked up and saw two players ahead of him who’ve been on the field. It’s not a case of him being afraid of competition. I think it’s being realistic and thinking I’m going to try to find a faster path to the field.”

Also, wide receiver Damond Powell has had surgery for a sports hernia.

Ferentz said Powell, who had 12 catches for 291 yards and two TDs as a junior last season, will be out mostly through camp and possibly some early games.

“Worst-case scenario would be Big Ten play [for Powell’s return], but I’m hoping before then,” Ferentz said.

With Shimonek’s departure, Iowa now has three scholarship quarterbacks on the roster — junior Jake Rudock, sophomore C.J. Beathard and incoming freshman Tyler Wiegers.

Iowa has three quarterback commitments in the 2015 class — Jack Beneventi, Ryan Boyle and Drew Cook. So, Iowa has a stable, it’s just cutting it kind of close for No. 3 this season.

Ferentz said this doesn’t necessarily mean Wiegers will forego his redshirt and play this season.

“In a perfect world, we’ll be able to make it through with two quarterbacks,” Ferentz said. “If not, guess what, you’re in there [on Wiegers and redshirting].”

Speaking of quarterbacks ... Ferentz ended spring practice saying that Beathard could be in for playing time this season, and not the playing time he had Beathard last season, which came only when Rudock suffered knee injuries in three games.

The Beathard time in games remains in the conversation, Ferentz said Monday.

“We’re not trying to placate him or appease him, we’re trying to win,” Ferentz said. “If we think it can be effective for us, we’ll try to weave it in a smart way.”

Ferentz compared the possibility to the way Iowa used Brad Banks in 2001, splitting time with Kyle McCann. Banks added a dimension of hurting teams with his feet. Where do Rudock and Beathard contrast?

“There’s a difference

there, they’re unique in their own ways,” Ferentz said, “but the good news is they’re both good quarterbacks.”

New rules ... A new NCAA rule gave on-field coaches eight hours per week in the offseason to interact with players, with up to two of those hours available for football-related meetings or film review — provided those players were enrolled in summer school or met a minimum gradepoint average requirement.

Ferentz said Iowa never went more than four hours a week with its players.

“We used probably an hour and a half and three hours total before the Fourth of July,” he said. “I thought it was important for our coaches to be normal citizens for a while. In a nutshell, we were probably under four hours for the entire Ferentz summer.

That might be wrong, that might be right, but my feeling was the strength-andconditioning staff has the guys for the summer time. I enjoyed the opportunity to watch the guys train, but as far as working with our players, I’m not real big on that thought. I’m not sure it’s a good thing nationally.”

Last season, a core of Iowa players took video study in its own hands. The Please see IOWA, page 10AA

Panthers finally rounded into form and reeled off 16 straight conference victories.

“We had LC, Glenwoo and Harlan right out of the chute,” McCabe said.

“Three of the favorites. We were 1-3 and then boom.

Who would have thunk?”

McCabe also praised sophomore Jami Sickels, who won the varsity team’s Most Improved Player Award.

Sickels took her batting average from .185 a year ago

to .411 this year.

“Just a remarkable job,” McCabe said. “I kind of pointed her out.

I said it’s not by accident.

She really listens to what y o u ’ r e Sickels saying, tries to Please see BANQUET, page 10A

Rose’s ‘confidence level is through the roof’

By K.C. JOHNSON Chicago Tribune

LAS VEGAS — In this artificial city where hope can disappear as easily as coins in a slot machine, a man of substance is working to regain his magic.

You remember public address announcer Tommy Edwards’ pregame call at the United Center: From Chicago! . . .

Or maybe you don’t.

Derrick Rose has played so little basketball in the last 27 months that it can — occasionally — be difficult to recall the sway he once held on his hometown. The do-good kid raised by a single mother and three older siblings who escaped Englewood. The No. 1 overall pick who stormed to Rookie of the Year honors for the Bulls with his unique blend of speed, strength and sizzle. The youngest Most Valuable Player in NBA history.

Rose returned to the hardw o o d f o r public observation M o n d a y , p r a c - Rose ticing without incident and with flashes of greatness at USA Basketball’s minicamp for the FIBA World Cup of Basketball.

Eight months and six days have passed since Rose tore his right meniscus. And he’s exact-

ly 27 months removed from having his left ACL snap. Those two injuries, combined with the public relations missteps in his will-he-or-won’t-he botched return saga late in the 2012-13 season, sullied for some Rose’s once-spotless on-court reputation.

For some, the can’tmiss kid landed under the microscope.

“That’s ridiculous,” Team USA head coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

“He’s one of the great people and one of the g r e a t players.

To get Krzyzewski multiple injuries like that can defeat anybody mentally. I don’t see that. He should be applauded for what he’s doing. I know I’m a Chicagoan who is very happy that he’s back, not just for USA Basketball but for the Bulls.”

As part of his second straight serious rehabilitation, Rose has been playing full court since mid-May. But as one of 19 hopefuls trying to make the 12-man roster that will compete in Spain in September, Monday marked Rose’s first competition against elite players.

There he was, leading a Please see ROSE, page 9A

NCAA reaches $75 million settlement in concussion lawsuit

By JOHN KEILMAN Chicago Tribune

The NCAA has created a new protocol to handle concussed athletes and will spend millions to monitor the health of athletes who might have suffered concussions while playing college sports, according to a settlement filed in federal court this morning.

The $75 million settlement caps litigation that began when a dozen college athletes -- including former Eastern Illinois University defensive back Adrian Arrington -- ac-

But you can’t get mad at them. I got too many positives going my way. I got my son. I got my family.

Rehab took care of everything. Now, I’m just trying to put it all behind me and today is another day.”

Granted, Monday only marked a practice. But as the starting point guard on the U.S. national team that captured gold at the 2010 World Championships in Turkey, Rose is back in the program that helped catapult him to his MVP season in 2010-11.

And there were signs that rust won’t be a factor. He knocked down two 3-pointers. He attacked the rim twice in transition.

He showed no hesitation.

“The explosiveness is the same,” said Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, who is Krzyzewski’s Team USA assistant. “The strength in his leg is great. His explosion is back. That’s all there. He has to work on the timing. He has missed a lot of time in the last three years.

“But he was much more patient. He just found the rhythm of the game.

He didn’t settle for the quick shot. He ran the team. He had a re- Thibodeau ally good understanding of when he should shoot and when he should pass. His wind still isn’t there, but it was a really good start.”

And Rose insists he’s engaged in this endeavor for the long haul. This is not a week of practices for competition and confidence.

This is Rose trying to make the team and win gold in Spain.

Relaxed and conversational afterward, Rose laughed as he shared an anecdote about former Bull Kyle Korver, also t r y i n g Korver to make Team USA. “I was telling him, ‘Man, I’m old. I’ve got to stretch, I’ve got to use rollers (on my legs) and stuff,’ “ Rose said. “He looked at me kind of weird, ‘Hold up, you’re only 25.’ And that’s the thing; I still have my youth.

“Coming back last season, of course I wanted to prove everybody wrong.

I wanted it too, too bad.

This time around, I just know that I’ve got to let the game come to me. Go out there and just play.”

Creston News Advertiser 503 W. Adams

Public notice FINAL NOTICE OF POTENTIAL IMPACT/CONVERSION OF IMPORTANT FARMLAND AND NOTICE OF A FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The USDA Rural Utilities Service has received an application for financial assistance from the Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA). SIRWA plans construct replacement water distribution systems for the cities of Blockton and Bridgewater. There are approximately 112 water connections in Bridgewater and approximately 97 connections in Blockton.

This proposal will consist of replacing all of the existing cast iron water main and some existing PVC piping with new PVC water piping. In Bridgewater, approximately 10,400 lineal feet of 6”, 3” and 2” water main will be replaced. In Blockton, approximately 15,700 lineal feet of 6”, 3” and 2” water main will be replaced. New meter pits and service lines will also be installed. A majority of the water main improvements will be directionally bored and will be primarily located in previously disturbed areas, in public right-of-way.

As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rural Utilities Service has prepared an Environmental Assessment that evaluated the potential environmental effects, consequences of the proposed project and the effects the proposal may have on historic properties Rural Development has assessed the environmental impacts of this proposal and determined one acre of important farmland near Bridgewater will be converted. The site, located outside city the limits, will be purchased and utilized for the siting of a 50,000 gallon elevated water storage tank that will be 135’ tall. It has been determined that there is no practicable alternative to avoiding this conversion or effect.

The Environmental Assessment was published June 17, 18, & 19, 2014 for a 30 day comment period. No comments were received. Upon consideration of the applicant’s proposal, federal and state environmental regulatory and natural resources agencies, and public input, the agency has determined that the proposal will not have a significant effect on the human environment and for which an Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared.

In order to avoid or minimize any adverse environmental impacts, the Rural Utilities Service will require the applicant to incorporate the following mitigation measures into the proposed project’s design. The mitigation measures include: X Compliance with conditions contained in the IDNR Construction Permit to be q completed.

X Compliance with conditions contained in the Storm Water Pollution Prevention q Plan to be completed.

X Demolition of water towers will occur per the requirements in the proposal’s q plans and specifications provided by the project engineer. The applicant will comply with IDNR review / directive from the submitted Notification of Demolition and Renovation Form (DNR 542-1476) X No trees will be removed between the period of April 1 to September 30 to protect q the Indiana and Northern Long-Eared Bats and their habitat.

X The Preliminary Notice of Potential Conversion of Important Farmland was q published May 19, 20, & 21, 2014 in the Creston News Advertiser providing a separate 30 day comment period on the conversion of one acre of important farmland near Bridgewater for the siting of a new water tower. All comments received will be considered and evaluated in the environmental review process prior to publishing the final environmental public notice.

Copies of the Environmental Assessment can be reviewed or obtained at 511 W. 7th Street, Atlantic, Iowa 50022, (712) 243-2107. For further information, please contact Dee Fischer at (712) 243-2107.

make corrections and work at it. Even if it’s something that’s awkward and doesn’t feel comfortable, she stays at it and works. I think the proof is in the pudding there.”

McCabe also handed out a Coaches’ Award to Hood.

“We do that when we feel a kid is deserving,” he said.

“Hannah had that major surgery, I think it was on March 26, on her shoulder.

She knew she was not going to get to do anything, and yet who was there every Sunday for hitting club?

Hannah. Who’s there every morning for practice? Her. It was a real testament to her commitment and wanting to be a part of the team.”

LaMasters was named the varsity team’s Most Valuable Player, while Mostek won the varsity team’s Spirit Award.

In addition, LaMasters earned Hawkeye 10 Player

of the Year honors from KMA, while McCabe was named the Coach of the Year by KMA for the Hawkeye 10 Conference and the entire KMA coverage area.

defense credited a jump in its performance to that study. The 2014 group has taken a similar outlook.

“I think there’s a lot of value in us not holding their hands all year-round,” Ferentz said. “I think it’s important for them to get away from us and for us to get away from them. I think that’s important for everybody.”

One recruit didn’t make it to Iowa City ... Running back Markel Smith (St. Louis) signed with Iowa in February, but didn’t qualify academically and so now, according to HawkeyeReport.com, is headed to prep

school at Milford Academy (New Berlin, N.Y.).

“We knew there was a chance that wouldn’t work out,” Ferentz said. “We knew that and it was a decision in the recruiting process to follow through.”

Of course, there are no guarantees, but former Hawkeye Shonn Greene went the Milford path. In 2008, he set Iowa’s season records for yards (1,850) and TDs (20).

Creston News Advertiser Wednesday, July 30, 2014

KREJCI: Continued from Page 1

had players who were recruited by four-year college programs throughout the United States and continues to keep in touch with many of them today.

In addition, Krejci was the men’s basketball coach for eight years.

In September 1999, after 22 years at the helm, Krejci resigned from his position as head baseball coach and became athletic director/ fundraiser at the college.

During Krejci’s time in this role, he has increased fundraising for athletics tremendously by establishing two annual events—the Athletic Fundraiser Auction and the SWCC Golf Tournament—as well as the Southwestern Athletic Booster Club.

These events and activities, in addition to other fundraising efforts, have become traditions at the college bringing in $50,000$55,000 for athletics each year.

Krejci said he is extremely grateful for the tremendous support SWCC athletics has received throughout the years from individuals and businesses in Creston and throughout southwest Iowa, as well as from the college’s faculty and staff.

It was June 2009 when

Krejci retired from his fulltime position as physical education instructor and athletic director.

He didn’t stay away long; however, coming back part-time as director of athletics and athletic fundraising in August 2009.

Dr. Barb Crittenden, SWCC president, said she is proud of the progress SWCC athletics has made under Krejci’s direction.

“We have added a number of athletic programs and activities during Bill’s tenure,” Crittenden said.

“In his role as athletic director, he has raised the expectations for event management and support for student-athletes at Southwestern. His efforts in fundraising have been an important part of this.”

Athletic programs added at SWCC during recent years have included cross country, drill team, golf, sports shooting, and track and field.

In addition to his duties at SWCC, Krejci has been very involved in the USA Baseball program. To date, he has been an 18-year national coach, is a clinician for USA Baseball camps, and has been a cross checker in the player selection process.

This year alone, Krejci traveled to Russia for 10 days in March to do coach-

ing clinics and just returned from a three-week stint in Mexico where he was the general manager for the 12U USA National Team.

Krejci said he will remain involved in the baseball community and will continue to work for USA Baseball after he leaves the college.

Crittenden said the college has some big shoes to fill following Krejci’s departure.

“For 36 years, Bill has been a force in Southwestern athletics,” Crittenden said. “He has been committed to the college and has always been willing to do whatever was needed at the time, from teaching to coaching to leading the athletic department. Bill has spent countless hours on campus. He and Teresa will be missed tremendously.”

Krejci said he is sad to close this chapter of his life, but also excited about what a new athletic director will bring to the college.

“I just love this place,” Krejci said. “I’ve loved working here. I love the people. I wouldn’t be leaving if that wasn’t what my family needed me to do.”

Crittenden said the college will advertise for a new athletic director and athletic fundraiser yet this week.
