Lorimor city clerk reinstated, mayor resigns

By KYLE WILSON

Sue Schmidt is now acting mayor in Lorimor.

City council plans to appoint new mayor soon to hold position until November election.

■

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

LORIMOR — The Lorimor mayor — who closed down city hall for nearly two weeks earlier this month, including chaining and padlocking the front door at least once — officially resigned from his post Saturday.

George Lange, 75, closed down Lorimor City Hall and Community Center Aug. 3 directly after placing Lorimor City Clerk Doris Loy on two weeks paid leave. Lange

said he closed down city hall that day because Loy refused to turn over her keys to the building.

“She wouldn’t give them to me so I changed the locks. I had no other option. I wanted city hall to be secure,” Lange said.

He said Loy was placed on paid leave because the city’s insurance company refused to fully insure

her.

Allan Landers, writing agent for Lorimor’s city insurance policy through EMC Insurance, verified that to be true Tuesday — stating that when the city’s insurance policy renewed in April that Loy was “not bondable.”

“For whatever reason, EMC pulled her bond, meaning the city

of Lorimor had no coverage from April to present if she was convicted of stealing something,” Landers said.

Landers said he did make Lorimor city officials aware of this fact upon renewal.

Landers said he didn’t know for sure why Loy was turned down

by EMC for coverage. KCCI did report Monday that a 2013 auditor’s report states Loy misspent more than $27,000 while managing finances in Grand River. However, no criminal charges have ever been brought against Loy.

Still, Lorimor residents have organized a petition with more than 75 signatures calling on the state to investigate Loy and potential fraud of city taxpayer dollars.

Loy is back to work today. She was reinstated as city clerk of Lorimor during a special meeting Saturday. Lorimor City Council voted 5-0 to do so. That action did prompt Lange to resign as mayor.

“I will not work with her,” Lange said.

Progress report leaves school board looking for answers

Creston Hy-Vee employee Deana Courtney lists a few breakfast options, including biscuits and gravy, for a student customer at Southwestern Community College (SWCC) this morning. Courtney is a new employee, hired to help serve students in SWCC’s cafeteria, for which Hy-Vee now provides food service. Hy-Vee began serving at SWCC Monday morning.

Creston Hy-Vee to offer convenience items at SWCC

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA staff reporter

khaugen@crestonnews.com

As of Monday, Creston Hy-Vee is serving students in the cafeteria at Southwestern Community College (SWCC). Along with a variety of food options available during meal times, Hy-Vee will also offer convenience items for students to purchase.

The cafeteria, which is open to the public but geared toward students, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner Monday

through Friday and dinner on Sunday. Food choices include salad bar, pizza, pasta, Chinese, sandwiches and items off the grill, such as grilled chicken.

“We’re very excited to see what Kulow students t h i n k about the food service change, but I’m sure they’ll think it’s a positive one,” said Beth Kulow, SWCC

dean of student services.

The new contract between SWCC and Hy-Vee began July 1, and Creston Hy-Vee Store Director Chuck Irelan said it is the first time any Hy-Vee has had this type of service at a college.

“The college has become such a great part of this community,” Irelan said.

“For us to be able to pair up with (SWCC) and serve this area is a great opportunity.”

Though a Hy-Vee store in Sheldon is currently serving Northwest Iowa Com-

munity College (NICC), it’s more of an exact meal plan. At SWCC, students choose what to eat, pay for each item, and the money is taken out of their meal plan funds. Meal plans are included for those living in the dorms.

“They (NICC) don’t have the restaurant-style setting we have (at SWCC),” Irelan said. “This is a new venture for Hy-Vee as a whole.

We’re learning as we go.”

Subway Jared pleads guilty to sex acts with minors INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Longtime Subway pitchman Jared Fogle has agreed to plead guilty to allegations that he paid for sex acts with minors and received child pornography that he knew had been secretly produced by the former director of his charitable foundation,

federal prosecutors said in court documents released Wednesday.

The agreement filed ahead of an expected court appearance by Fogle said he agrees to pay $1.4 million in restitution to 14 minor victims, who will each receive $100,000. Fogle will also be required to register

as a sex offender and undergo treatment for sexual disorders.

The government has agreed not to seek a sentence of more than 12½ years in prison, and Fogle has agreed not to ask for less than five years, according to the documents, which say Fogle will plead

Creston School Board members voiced concern Monday after learning the district has failed to meet several proficiency goals for the fifth consecutive year.

According to data collected from last year’s Iowa Assessments, 20 to 25 percent of students in grades 3-8 did not achieve proficiency levels in reading or math during the 20142 0 1 5 school year.

“I’ve sat on t h i s Zumbach board for two elections, and I don’t see improvement,” said vice president Galen Zumbach.

“We put a lot of money into professional development, we put a lot of time into taking teachers out of the classroom, we have teacher coaches — all kinds

of things. I’m not in the school as an administrator, but that doesn’t look good, and so I’m wondering why?

As a teacher, I would not accept that.”

Under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, schools like Creston that receive Title I funding from the government must use standardized test scores to measure adequate yearly progress (AYP) in reading and math for the combined grades 3-5 and 6-8, as well as one year from grades 10-12. Schools that continually miss AYP goals must develop plans to increase proficiency.

As of 2014, the goal is for 100 percent of students to be proficient in reading and math.

Steve McDermott, Creston Schools superintendent, said while Creston has complied with No Child Left Behind, the results still aren’t where he wants them.

“We’re right along with you with that dissatisfaction on some of these Please see REPORT, Page 2

Loy’s attorney Mark Smith of Winterset said Tuesday that his client is fully bonded now through Western Insurance Company in the amount of $100,000.

He said Loy secured that insurance while on paid leave.

Sue Schmidt will be acting mayor of Lorimor for the time being. She said the council plans to appoint a new mayor soon to hold the position until the election this November.

Lange is the third person to serve as mayor of Lorimor in the past 12 months.

Zimmerman appointed as West Central Regional President for the Eagles Shelley Zimmerman of Creston was appointed by the Grand Madam President, P e n n y Skinner, as the Frater- Zimmerman nal Order of Eagles West Central Regional President presiding over Iowa and Nebraska for 2015-2016. The Aerie counterpart, Bob Shores, is from

Alliance, Neb. Aerie #136.

They will preside over the annual session in Sioux City on Sept. 18-20.

Zimmerman has been an active member of the Creston Auxiliary #1398 since initiated in August 2001.

She is currently serving as the local secretary, served the Western Zone and the State of Iowa, Fraternal Order of Eagles. She was the State Madam President in 2013-2014. Her theme was “Beach Rally Ride across

the State of Iowa” and they raised over $139,000 for the state charity “Paws and Effect”.

This fall, the Eagles are working on a special project to help out thousands of families throughout the jurisdiction. They have encouraged every local Aerie and Auxiliary to collect non-perishable food items for their local food pantries. On Saturday, Oct. 3, they are encouraging all to participate in the “people

for students to go off campus to buy basic grocery items for their dorm rooms, Hy-Vee will provide a selection of convenience items to be purchased, such as gallons of milk, boxes of cereal and granola bars. Students may buy these products using their meal plan funds. Irelan plans to have convenience items available by the end of this week.

“They don’t have anywhere to shop on this side of town, and a lot of kids in the dorms d o n ’ t have a Irelan vehicle,” he said. “For them to get groceries, they either have to go to a convenience store and pay premium or figure out a way to get to the other side of town, so we’re going to bring some of those items to them.”

Food products will be sold in the cafeteria, and Irelan hopes to sell nonfood items, like toilet paper and toothpaste, in the SWCC bookstore.

Students without vehicles who want groceries not sold on campus may request a delivery – an option available to all Creston residents – after shopping online at hy-vee.com.

The delivery fee is $4.95 when a customer spends under $100. Delivery is free if the total is $100 or more.

This year, Kulow said SWCC will have 15 international and several outof-state students, so there will be a high number of students without cars on campus.

“With the increased student enrollment in the dorms and with Creston not having a taxi service, it will be convenient for students to pick up items in the cafeteria, rather than trying to travel to HyVee or somewhere else in town,” Kulow said.

On Nov. 3, 2012, Fogle allegedly paid a 17-year-old girl who he had found online to engage in sex acts while he was staying at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, according to the papers. Several months later, he again paid her for sex acts while staying at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, according to the document, which says the girl told Fogle her age when they first met and that he knew she was a minor.

After the first meeting, the document said, Fogle texted the girl and offered to pay her a fee if she could find him another underage girl to

pay for sex acts.

During these discussions, Fogle “stated that he would accept a 16-year-old girl, while stating that the younger the girl, the better,” the document said.

Between 2011 and 2013, Fogle also repeatedly sent text messages to other escorts, “soliciting them to provide him with access to minors as young as 14 to 15 years,” the document said, adding that he would only make such requests after engaging in sex acts with the escorts to “insure that they were not undercover police officers.”

scores,” McDermott said during the meeting. “And w e ’ r e working at this every day and evidently we’re not doing all of the right things, I don’t McDermott know, but we’re continuing to work at it.”

Eleventh grade had the highest levels of proficiency in the report, with 86.67 percent achieving proficiency in reading and 89.17 percent achieving proficiency in math. These scores fell short of the proficiency goal but met a provision called “safe harbor,” which means the number of proficient students met AYP because it increased by at least 10 percent from the year before.

Third- through fifth-grade math also met the “safe harbor” provision.

Data comparing Creston’s AYP to similar school districts will not be available until later this year.

Board member Sharon Snodgrass said standardized tests may not be the best indicator of student achievement, but Snodgrass the board still needs to see evidence of progress.

“When you take one test that is less than an hour long in a whole school year and you determine that’s going to decide whether we’re a good school district or not, it’s just not right,” Snodgrass said. “I think that what you all have to show us is OK, if your kids that were in the extended programs are doing better, bring us some of that so we can say, ‘Hey, even though the scores aren’t better, these kids are improving.’”

McDermott said Tuesday afternoon that other forms of assessment may

be better indicators of student achievement than the Iowa Assessments, but that doesn’t mean the school should shy away from the Iowa tests. McDermott said he and administrators had already discussed solutions to showing progress and addressing needs, including possibly having a third party examine the school and point out needs.

“You can’t expect the results to be different if you do the same things,” he said. “It takes everyone. It takes everyone in the community.”

The child porn charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. The count involving sex with a minor is punishable by up to 30 years.

The Associated Press left messages seeking comment with Fogle attorney Ron Elberger.

Fogle, 37, became Subway’s pitchman after shedding more than 200 pounds as a college student, in part by eating the chain’s sandwiches. He was the public face of the company for more than 15 years — a period in which its number of

locations tripled, making Subway the world’s largest restaurant chain.

Subway suspended the partnership in July after agents raided his home in the affluent Indianapolis suburb of Zionsville, and the chain said this week that it had ended its relationship with Fogle.

Federal prosecutors allege in the documents that the married father of two traveled to pay for sex acts, including with minors, from 2007 until as recently as June and that he repeatedly planned business trips to coincide with his sexual pursuits.

OPINION Waltzing across Texas

I wake up in the delightfully retro Austin Motel and see that the childproof top remains on the ibuprofen, which means I did not make it to midnight to hear Bobby Rush at the Continental Club.

And that means I’m likely to finish my waltz across Texas without any music.

All my adult life I’ve wanted to visit Austin, a happening spot. But I’m too old for concerts that start at midnight. And that was about the only musical game in town this hot August night. At least the only one that my buddy Sandy and I could find -- and, trust me, we looked.

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

The next day we wade through 100-degree heat to the Waterloo record store and buy Jerry Jeff Walker and James McMurtry CDs and a couple of “I’m With Willie” T-shirts and have to be satisfied.

There’s that joke in response to Texans who want to secede from the union, and judging from the signs and bumper stickers, there’s a passel of them. The joke says:

“Fine. Go ahead. Secede. Just leave us Austin and Willie.”

I say just leave us Willie.

We ride on, forgetting our magnetic Thelma and Louise sign for five minutes at a Hill Country gas station only to have it stolen.

Without credentials, we feel silly in our cowboy hats, one marked “Sale Price $31.99.” I pull off the sticker and see another tag: $21.99.

We drive down Buddy Holly Avenue in Lubbock and sleep near Waylon Jennings Boulevard in Littlefield. But we can’t find a honkytonk with live music.

At a barbecue joint near Wichita Falls, a sign says our firearms

are welcome. The owner doesn’t make much effort to welcome us.

The raunchy political signs all over his establishment ruin the taste of a good cheeseburger.

After an odyssey of 2,500 miles, we make Breaux Bridge, La., and things improve. Music is everywhere. We spend the night along the Bayou Teche, and hear classic Cajun across the road at the iconic dance hall now called Pont Breaux.

The next morning, my friend Greg Guirard serves us crawfish cornbread, which we break with his special guest Yvette Landry, the Cajun country singer. Her al-

bum “No Man’s Land” is one of my favorites. She wades barefoot in the swamp to help launch Greg’s boat, then, back at the house in her cowboy boots, serenades us.

Texas may go to hell, and I will go to Louisiana. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson’s 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

Amazing rebound for the library From Jeromy Brown Creston

Wow, what an amazing rebound for the library.

After last year’s city council vote contrasted with the two to one public turnout against the sale, some of us felt like a dream had been taken away.

But so it goes. We had to remember that the purpose behind the Creston Area Library and Cultural Center was more important than the particular building we chose. Our further discussions with the city council determined that the site of the Gibson Memorial Library would be the only option.

On the bright side, many people in Creston passionately wanted to keep the library there, so we are now on their side and hopefully vice versa.

We have honored them. Our sterling new library director, Dr.

David Hargrove, hosted a public design “charrette” that was announced in the Creston News Advertiser. Everyone was invited to come in and meet with the architects of FEH as plans were drawn.

The architects listened to Creston citizens for two whole days. The team, led by the warm and friendly Dennis Sharp, then drew interesting designs that gave the library an expanded one-level layout and put lots of public space on the ground level.

Thanks to all Crestonians who came and added their input. My philosophy is pro-people—things get done when people work together. Soon we will be able to proudly reveal an expanded library design, one shaped directly by Creston’s residents and that will finally show us all the library Creston deserves.

Stay tuned to the Advertiser to hear more soon!

We like to hear from you!

Donald Trump trotted out specific positions on national security HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Muppets Show’s return to ABC this fall was marred by Miss Piggy and Kermit announcing to television writers Friday that they have broken up after twenty-five years. They sounded like Hillary and Trump. Miss Piggy evaded questions from reporters while Kermit called her a pig, plain and simple.

The NLRB ruled Friday that college football players are students and can’t unionize or demand salaries. Despite the TV billions they generate, they won’t get paid. Now the college football players’ last hope is to petition the White House and ask President Obama to sign an emancipation proclamation.

Oscar Pistorius is free Friday after serving ten months in prison for killing his girlfriend. He said he fired four shots through the bathroom door, killing her, thinking she was an intruder. It’s a fact that most burglars break into an occupied home and use the bathroom before they begin stealing things.

Washington Post legend Bob Woodward compared Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal to Richard Nixon’s Watergate scandal Monday. How bad could this get?

Up until now, the difference between the Clinton scandals and the Nixon scandals was, in the Nixon scandals, Deep Throat was a metaphor.

Donald Trump left the presidential campaign trail to answer a jury duty summons in New York City Monday where he was mobbed

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

by media as he entered the courthouse. Of course he wasn’t selected. Everybody loves the Donald, but in order to be a juror you must deliberate before you deliver a verdict.

The New York Post profiled Donald Trump’s Slovenian supermodel wife Melania Knauss, whom he married ten years ago.

Fifteen years ago, she posed nude for British GQ magazine while lying on a fur rug. After the news came out, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals endorsed Scott Walker.

Donald Trump trotted out specific positions on national security Monday, indicating he would not tolerate the new nuclear deal with Iran. Trump would make the United States safer immediately. The only thing that’s better than having a credible military deterrent is having a president who is crazy.

President Obama’s presence on Martha’s Vineyard is playing havoc with the Opera House Cup yacht race because no planes are allowed to fly to the island while he’s there. That’s fine with the president. If the Democrats had their way, all yacht races would begin a half-mile above Niagara Falls.

Jason Day won the PGA Championship Sunday at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin. The course

was built by Wisconsin’s bathroom fixtures magnate, Herb Kohler. He makes billions of dollars by selling new toilets and spigots to Californians every three years when the water rationing is tightened.

Alabama’s Alpha Phi sorority was ripped by the PC police for lack of diversity over a viral house video showing only gorgeous blondes. It’s progress. You no longer have to sing the N-word on a bus to be expelled if you’re a fraternity or sorority in the South, all you have to do is be photographed together.

Queen Elizabeth will be honored in ceremonies worldwide for breaking Queen Victoria’s record as Britain’s longest serving monarch in three weeks. It’s not all pomp and glory. The Queen visited a post office in London Friday and security stepped in when someone tried to lick the back of her head.

Kentucky Fried Chicken hired comedian Norm McDonald to play Colonel Sanders in KFC TV commercials replacing SNL alum Darryl Hammond. They’re both very funny guys, but Darryl Hammond’s colonel was giving people the creeps. That priest collar gave everybody a really bad feeling.

Native American tribal leaders meet in San Diego in September to discuss how to increase tribal revenues and promote Indian culture, history and traditions. It’s deep stuff. The Indians want to share tribal lore with the world such as stick on fifteen or sixteen if the dealer isn’t showing a face card.

Local Head Start administrator graduates from UCLA Anderson School of Management LOS ANGELES, Calif. Training completed by Head Start administrator Kathy Hall will ultimately benefit children and their families from MATURA Head Start in Creston. Kathy Hall, education coordinator, is one of 44 graduates of the UCLA/ Johnson & Johnson Head Start Management Fellows Program, an intensive twoweek program, conducted at the UCLA Anderson School of Management in Los Angeles. The program was developed in 1991 to strengthen the management skills of Head Start administrators.

“As a former participant, I can personally acknowledge the insight and education this program offers to Head Start leaders,” said Ron Herndon, director, Albina Head Start Program and past Chairman of the National Head Start Association. “Participants learn about financial management and data analysis, while developing a keen understanding of the broader environment in which Head Start operates.”

Throughout the program, fellows are equipped with the tools they will need to effectively lead and deliver developmental services in changing environments, secure funding, efficiently implement programs and network with other Head Start managers across the nation.

Fellowships are awarded annually to Head Start administrators who have been selected by a specially assembled Program Advisory Board. Since the program’s inception, over 1,400 executives have graduated with enhanced management and leadership abilities.

“Head Start creates the foundation for a wonderful future for children and their families,” said Sharon D’Agostino, vice president of Corporate Citizenship at Johnson & Johnson. “Graduates of the UCLA/Johnson & Johnson Head Start Management Fellows Program have introduced successful community initiatives that make a lasting impact on the health, nutrition, and school

readiness of the children they serve. The commitment of the UCLA Anderson School of Management to teaching excellence is a hallmark of the program’s enduring success.”

Head Start programs provide comprehensive developmental services to low-income, preschool children and their families. Head Start also provides a range of medical, dental, mental health and nutrition care, and parent involvement services. Program directors supervise nearly 239,000 paid staff and almost 1,100,000 volunteers nationwide. In fiscal year 2014, Head Start enrolled 1,076,000 children 0-5 and pregnant moms, making a total of more than 32 million since its inception in 1965.

Fresh veggies grown in space on the menu for astronauts HOUSTON, Texas— Fresh food grown in the microgravity environment of space officially is on the menu for the first time for NASA astronauts on the International Space Station.

Expedition 44 crew members, including NASA’s one-year astronaut Scott Kelly, were ready to sample the fruits of their labor after harvesting a crop of “Outredgeous” red romaine lettuce, Aug. 10, from the veggie plant growth system on the nation’s orbiting laboratory.

The astronauts will clean the leafy greens with citric acid-based, food safe sanitizing wipes before consuming them. They will eat half of the space bounty, setting aside the other half to be packaged and frozen on the station until it can be returned to Earth for scientific analysis.

NASA’s plant experiment, called Veg-01, is being used to study the in-orbit function and performance of the plant growth facility and its rooting “pillows,” which contain the seeds.

NASA is maturing veggie

technology aboard the space station to provide future pioneers with a sustainable food supplement—a critical part of NASA’s Journey to Mars. As NASA moves toward long-duration exploration missions farther into the solar system, Veggie will be a resource for crew food growth and consumption.

It also could be used by astronauts for recreational gardening activities during deep space missions.

The first pillows were activated, watered and cared for by Expedition 39 flight engineer Steve Swanson in May 2014. After 33 days of growth, the plants were harvested and returned to Earth in October 2014. At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the plants underwent food safety analysis. The second Veg-01 plant pillows were activated

by Kelly on July 8 and grew again for 33 days before being harvested. The seeds had been on the station for 15 months before being activated.

The Veggie system was developed by Orbital Technologies Corp. (ORBITEC)

in Madison, Wis., and tested at Kennedy before flight.

Veggie, along with two sets of pillows containing the romaine seeds and one set of zinnias, was delivered to the station on the third cargo resupply mission by SpaceX in April 2014.

The collapsible and expandable Veggie unit features a flat panel light bank that includes red, blue and green LEDs for plant growth and crew observation. Using LED lights to grow plants was an idea that originated with NASA as far back as the late 1990s, according to Dr. Ray Wheeler, lead for Advanced Life Support activities in the Exploration Research and Technology Programs Office at Kennedy.

“Blue and red wavelengths are the minimum needed to get good plant growth,” Wheeler said.

“They are probably the most efficient in terms of electrical power conversion.

The green LEDs help to enhance the human visual perception of the plants, but they don’t put out as much light as the reds and blues.”

Wheeler, Dr. Gioia Massa, payload scientist for veggie, and Dr. Gary Stutte, all from Kennedy, previously investigated similar experiments to grow plants in the Habitat Demonstration Unit at NASA’s desert test site near Flagstaff, Ariz., in 2010 and 2011. Wheeler said Veggie will help NASA learn more about growing plants in controlled environment agriculture settings. Similar settings include vertical agriculture, which refers to stacking up shelves of plants that are grown hydroponically and then using electric light sources like red and blue LEDs. This kind of system is popular in some Asian countries and beginning to grow in the U.S. “There is evidence that supports fresh foods, such as tomatoes, blueberries and red lettuce, are a good source of antioxidants. Having fresh food like these available in space could have a positive impact on people’s moods and also could provide some protection against radiation in space,” Wheeler said.

Avocados done right!

Dear Heloise: I use many AVOCADOS but do not like the brown bruised spots. I buy some very firm avocados, keeping them in the refrigerator for two or more days.

I wash and dry the outside, cut it top-to-bottom down to the seed and firmly, using the knife, press it open.

It’s easy to peel off the skin, leaving a beautiful half avocado. — Margaret L., Colorado Springs, Colo.

Ole! Being a Texas gal, I love guacamole made from fresh, ripe avocados! When shopping, do NOT buy an avocado that has brown bruised spots. It’s past its prime!

If they are ripe and ready to eat, into the refrigerator is perfect. However, if they are “very firm,” as you said, keeping them in the refrigerator will STOP the ripening process. It will come out just the way it went in — not ripe.

Try this: Buy one or two ready to eat - these can go into the fridge. Get a few that are a little firm; they will ripen when set out. You are set! — Heloise IRIDESCENT ROAST BEEF Dear Heloise: I read your column in The Delaware Gazette, published in Delaware,

Hints from Heloise Ohio.

I’m writing to ask about the discoloration on roast beef. It looks like an oil slick — iridescent. When I reheated the meat, it was bright pink. All of the meat wasn’t like this. Is it harmful to eat? — A Reader in Central Ohio No, it’s not harmful to eat.

It may look a little funny, but you’re good for a go on eating the “Wow, look at that cool color!” This trusted information is from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the go-to expert this expert relies on. — Heloise TACO SEASONING Dear Heloise: Please share the recipe for your HELOISE’S TACO SEASONING again.

This is a good year to travel.

National Digest

Waters signs SEATTLE — Former St. Albert, Iowa Western and Kansas State quarterback Jake Waters has reportedly signed with the Seattle Seahawks.

Seattle is down a quarterback after backup Tarvaris Jackson suffered an injury in the Seahawks’ preseason opener with Denver.

Waters tried out with Seattle earlier this month, and the team announced his signing Tuesday morning. The 6-foot-1, 215-pounder went undrafted this past spring after a two-year run at Kansas State that saw him set school records for completion percentage, passing efficiency, total offensive yards per game and passing yards per attempt.

Waters will be reunited with Kansas State receiver Tyler Lockett, who was picked by Seattle in the third round.

Unresolved FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell met Tuesday to discuss settling the “Deflategate” legal case but were unsuccessful, two people familiar with the case told The Associated Press.

The failure to strike a deal after about four hours of talks means a Wednesday hearing will proceed as scheduled.

Sources said the talks occurred away from the Manhattan federal court handling the case. The location was not disclosed.

Lawyers are scheduled to argue Wednesday whether it was fair for the NFL to suspend Brady for four games this season after Goodell concluded he conspired to deflate footballs before a playoff game. No ruling from U.S. District Judge Richard Berman is expected.

Spartan harriers open season Saturday

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

The Southwestern Community College cross country team enters Saturday’s Region XI Time Trial under new leadership.

The Spartans open the season 1 p.m. Saturday at the Region XI Time Trial at Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs.

Nick Ekel was hired as head coach last spring after former head coach Bill Huntington resigned to become principal at Sidney Junior and Senior High School.

Ekel came to Southwestern from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, where he was an assistant for Ekel the women’s track and field program.

He was an Academic All-American in 2012 for Wyoming University, the Mountain West Conference 10,000 meter champion in 2012, an NCAA West Region qualifier in 2012, and a two-time All Mountain West Conference cross country selection.

“I’m just extremely grateful to be working here,” Ekel said. “When I came down to Creston, I didn’t know anything about the area. When I came down here, I’m driv-

ing in from Osceola, I was getting pretty excited because I saw all these rolling hills and these endless gravel roads. I thought this is a running paradise. You can get a lot of strength work down here. I’m glad to be a part of the team here.”

Ekel inherits a program that is bringing in a class of seven freshmen men to combine with several returners from last year’s team.

“Coach Huntington did a really good job of recruiting,” he said. “We have a class of seven freshmen boys, so it’s going to be really exciting to see what that youth can bring into this team.”

Among the freshmen men coming into the program are Shenandoah’s Joseph Blake and Nate Hoyt.

Blake was the top finisher for Shenandoah’s fifthplace boys team in Class 2A at the State Cross Country Meet last fall, while Hoyt ran third for the Mustangs.

Blake finished 24th overall in 17:20.0, while Hoyt was 36th overall in 17:31.3.

Coty Good of Bloomfield ran third for Davis County’s 10th-place team in Class 2A at last year’s State Cross Country Meet, running 18:40.5.

Meanwhile, Noah Tucker of Gowrie ran sixth for Southeast Valley’s 13thplace team in Class 2A with his time of 18:58.6.

Geert Boelen of B-G-M, Brooklyn finished 41st in Class 1A last fall, running

17:50.3 over the 5K course.

Gabe Esser of Winterset and Logan Koenig of Lincoln, Neb., round out the class of incoming freshmen.

Philip Sciranko consistently scored for the Spartans last year, w h i l e s o p h o m o r e S e a n Sciranko Schmitz of East Union will likely be one of the team’s leaders this year, Ekel said.

Chasen Selsor of Osceola will be competing in his first season of cross country, but is a third-year sophomore. Ekel hopes his physical maturity will make up for his lack of previous cross country training, and sees him as an asset to this year’s team.

“I think our strength is that we’ll be a pack running team,” Ekel said.

In my mind right now, I think what we’re going to employ is a really patient approach. We’re not experienced enough to go out and dictate the race.

We need to be patient with the race and take what the race gives us.”

Women On the women’s side, returners include sophomores Kylie Bidrowski of Clarinda and former Interstate 35 preps Charley Buddenhagen and Rachel Flickinger.

Elliott, O-line hope to lead another Ohio State title run

ability to replace a star quarterback with another star quarterback last season, the development of the running game was every bit as im-

A-Rod slam NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez hit a slump-busting grand slam in the seventh inning, and the New York Yankees rallied from a three-run deficit against a depleted Minnesota bullpen to beat the Twins 8-4 Tuesday night.

A-Rod extended his major league record for grand slams, hitting the 25th of his career into the Yankees bullpen off J.R. Graham (0-1) to put New York up 5-4.

Rookie Miguel Sano homered for the second consecutive game, a tworun shot off CC Sabathia, and Shane Robinson had an RBI single against Nick Rumbelow (1-0) in the seventh to give Minnesota a 4-1 lead.

Andrew Miller went 1 1-3 innings for his 27th save.

NFL fight OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — The Cowboys and St. Louis Rams cut short the second of two joint practices at training camp Tuesday after several fights broke out, including one where Dallas receiver Dez Bryant was punched in the face.

Lindgren, who led the Spartans at several meets last fall.

O n l y Lindgren two newcomers join the women’s team this year. Justice Post of Urbandale, who ran at Des Moines Roosevelt in high school, and Shiomi Kuwabara of Hachioji, Tokyo, Japan join the Spartans.

Kuwabara spent last year at Pratt Community College, but wanted to run collegiate cross country and reached out to Ekel about joining the program.

“She brings a little bit of an outsider’s perspective to the sport of cross country,” Ekel said. “She’s so positive. It’s fun to see her unbridled enthusiasm for the sport and to bring that in with the returning girls.”

Ekel said he is hopeful to add one or two more walk-ons to join the team, as well.

“On our women’s side, it’s all about getting better this year, keeping ourselves healthy and having a good, enjoyable experience with the sport,” Ekel said.

Schedule change The Spartans were originally scheduled to host the Region XI Time Trial on Saturday.

Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott, son of former Mount Ayr standout Dawn (Huff) Elliott, breaks loose for a big gain during a game against Indiana during the 2014 season. Elliott enters the 2015 season as one of the Heisman Trophy favorites, as the Buckeyes look to defend their national championship.

portant to Ohio State’s national championship season.

No matter if J.T. Barrett or Cardale Jones takes snaps for the Buckeyes this season, Elliott could be the focal point of Ohio State’s offense. The junior ran for 1,878 yards and 18 touchdowns last year and enters this season on pretty much every list of Heisman Trophy hopefuls.

At the start of last season, Elliott and an offensive line breaking in four new starters struggled to get rolling.

In a September home loss to Virginia Tech, Elliott ran eight times for 32 yards. But when Ohio State turned it on down the stretch, Elliott and the offensive line were dominant.

“Zeke was the exact same player all year, but then the people around him just needed to play better in order for him to really show what he was capable of,” tackle Taylor Decker said.

Elliott had 153 yards and two scores at Michigan State, then had three 200yard games in the postseason. Against Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon, Elliott ran for 698 yards and eight touchdowns.

“The key with Zeke is if you can get him to the second level, his skill set at the second level is unbelievable,” offensive line coach and co-offensive coordinator Ed Warinner said.

The offensive line now returns four starters, including Decker, who considered entering the NFL draft early before deciding to return to Columbus, and guard Pat Elflein. There might not be a better group of blockers in the country.

Tournament on Saturday, Ekel made plans to hold the meet at Pine Valley Golf Course.

But several teams within the conference cited travel concerns with getting to Creston for a 9 a.m. start time, which caused the ICCAC to move the meet to Iowa Western.

The Region XI Time Trial will be a 5K distance for both the men and the women.

The Spartans then return to action Sept. 4 at the Bulldog 4K Classic in Des Moines’ Ewing Park, hosted by Drake University.

Iowa team wins LLSWS tiebreaker after questioning no-hitter PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Iowa team advanced through the Little League Softball World Series Tuesday by beating an opponent forced to play a tiebreaker after it was accused of deliberately losing a game.

The Central Iowa team beat South Snohomish Washington 3-2 in a rematch ordered by the tournament.

Officials demanded the extra game after it received reports that some teams “did not play with the effort and spirit appropriate” for Little League play.

The reversal and subsequent win earned the Iowa team a spot in the semifinals later Tuesday, where it fell to Rhode Island 5-4.

The dispute arose after the Washington team was shut out Monday by a team from Salisbury, North Carolina. The loss created a three-way tie for the Pool B title, meaning that Washington and North Carolina would advance to the semifinals and the Polk City, Iowa, team would not.

Central Iowa president Chris Chadd, who was back in Iowa on Monday, said he was hearing from Iowa coach Charlie Husak that some of Washington’s top hitters were bunting rather than swinging away, and that the squad wasn’t using its top pitcher to start the game.

Believing that Washington was deliberately trying to avoid facing Iowa again, Husak filed a protest with the tournament director.

The protest was upheld, Please see LLSWS, page 10A

EACH MEMORIAL DAY, this Creston couple places a bouquet of red, white and blue flowers on the graves of veterans who don’t have any at all.

librarian and John is a longtime social studies teacher in Creston, so we’re both fascinated with history — especially American history — and cemeteries have so many life stories.”

A trumpeter playing taps concluded the program at Graceland Cemetery. The group in attendance scattered in different directions to visit loved ones.

“After the program, we always wander around the cemetery,” John said. “We don’t have any family in Graceland Cemetery, but we do have friends. As we wandered around, that particular year we began noticing many veterans didn’t have flowers on their graves.”

Lynne recalls the feeling that gave them both.

“It was really sad to see nothing on their graves,” she

said. “They probably don’t have any family that live in the Creston area anymore.”

So, from that day forward, the Schlahts decided to honor at least some of those veterans each year by placing flowers next to their grave.

“We just thought it would be a nice gesture to honor and thank them on Memorial Day,” John said. “All of them sacrificed something for this country. ... After we placed flowers the first year, we wanted and felt like we needed to do it again the next year.”

So, that’s what they’ve done.

Each year Lynne finds enough red, white and blue artificial flowers to make 35 to 40 bouquets. She finds the Please see SCHLAHTS, Page 2

Keynote speaker for Creston’s Memorial Day programs will be Sen. Joni Ernst

Creston area leaders in the areas of education and economic development met Tuesday to discuss the viability for establishing a learning center in Southwest Iowa.

The learning center would provide diagnostic and tutoring services to students with learning differences and disabilities and offer resources to families impacted by learning disabilities such as dyslexia, discalculia, dysgraphia, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and related issues.

The purpose of the proposed learning center, which would work in partnership with local school districts, is to ease the logistical and financial burden of accessing necessary resources to improve the learning experience for students with learning differences.

The proposed site has yet to be determined, but it would most likely be established in Creston.

The proposed learning center will be based on the success of other similar nonprofit learning centers.

Suzanne Johnston, who is an employee of Iowa State University and been involved with the planning from the start, said she has spent “hours and hours learning” about working memory issues, auditory delays and learning disabilities in an effort to help her own daughter.

Johnston said, after families pay for gas, $250 in diagnostic fees and $50 per session, Please see LEARNING, Page 2

DAYTON (MCT) — Investigators believe they found the blood of a missing teenager on the body of her kidnapper, on his truck and at a northern Iowa hog confinement facility where he took two girls Monday afternoon, officials said Thursday.

Kathlynn Shepard, 15, of Dayton, was still missing Thursday evening after she and a friend were abducted Monday by Michael J. Klunder, a registered sex offender described by a retired police chief as a “pure sociopath.”

Officials confirmed Thursday that Klunder, who was found dead around 8 p.m.

Monday, had hanged himself.

Blood was found on Klunder’s body, on the tailgate of his Toyota Tundra pickup and on two buildings at a hog confinement facility where Klunder worked, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent Bill Kietzman said at a news conference Thursday afternoon.

The blood had not yet been tested to determine if it is Kathlynn’s, he said.

“We’re going to make a logical assumption that it is her blood,” Kietzman said. “There’s no reason to think it’s anyone else’s.”

The search for Kathlynn will continue Friday, but each day that passes leaves less

“I think we’re definitely farther along than we were last year at this point, especially from a chemistry standpoint and an experience standpoint,” Decker said. “But I think it would be dangerous to sit there and believe that we’re the best.”

Elliott does not shy away from praising the guys who make his life easier.

“I think they’re going to be the best group on the team because after last year and the experience they gained and how tough they are and how hard they work, I don’t see anyone outworking them or anyone being better than them,” Elliott said.

The Buckeyes are a safe bet to start the season No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25, which will be released Sunday. Here are some things to know about the team that will try to give coach Urban Meyer his fourth national championship: ___ ABOUT THOSE QBs Barrett was the Big Ten player of the year last season, setting a conference record by accounting for Barrett 45 touchdowns.

Jones took over when Barrett broke his right ankle against Michigan, leading the Buckeyes to wins against Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon. He passed for 742 yards and five touchdowns in that remarkable threegame run.

Meyer has said he won’t reveal his starter until the Buckeyes take the field Labor Night at Virginia Tech,

but it certainly seems as if he can’t go wrong. ___ MEYER’S STREAKS Meyer is the only coach in major college history to have three winning streaks of at least 20 games.

H i s Meyer Florida teams won 22 in one stretch.

He won 20 straight from the end of his time in Utah to his first season at Florida.

He added a 25-game streak that started his last season at Florida and ended during his second season at Ohio State.

The Buckeyes enter this season on a 13-game winning streak. ___ SUSPENSIONS Ohio State will play Virginia Tech without All-American end Joey Bosa and three receivers: Jalin Marshall, Corey Smith and Dontre Wilson. All were suspended for a game for an unspecified violation of team rules, making one of the toughest games on a schedule that is light on marquee matchups even more difficult for the Buckeyes. ___ MILLER ON THE MOVE Former Big Ten player of the year Braxton Miller is moving from quarterback to receiver after two shoulder surgeries. Miller will be used as a an H-Back, a role that will have him lining up all over the field and getting the ball on all kinds of pitches, handoffs and passes.

“Just having fun out there,” Miller said. “You catch the ball and you’re already in the second or third level. All you got to do is make one guy miss and it’s off to the races.”

LLSWS: Continued from page 8A

forcing Snohomish to face the Iowans in Tuesday’s rematch.

Snohomish Little League president Jeff Taylor, who first defended coach Fred Miller, expressed regret Tuesday.

“Our coach was faced with a decision that, in the bubble of intense competition, appeared to him to be in the best interest of our team,” he said. “In hindsight, it is very likely he would have made a different choice. Though the decision that Coach Miller made did not violate the letter of the rules, I can see abundant evidence that it was not in line

with the spirit of the game.”

In the tiebreaker, Mikayla Houge had 11 strikeouts for Central Iowa, which held the lead from the third inning on.

But having to play twice in one day left the Iowans without their top pitcher for the semifinals. They still rallied from a 5-2 deficit with just two outs left, but their final two batters struck out.

“You look at the poor girls from Washington.

They’re suffering now because of a decision made by their coach,” Chadd said. “I just feel for those girls. It makes me sad to know that those girl’s hearts are breaking because of this.”

Sarah Peacock to appear at Corning Opera House Cultural Center Similar to Ann Wilson and Sheryl Crow, Sarah Peacock is a country-rock powerhouse appearing at the Corning Opera House Cultural Center 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29.

Peacock delivers intensity and passion while her memorable melodies soar over heartfelt lyrics. Her diehard fans will tell you she is just as infectious off the stage as she is on it. Her music is a combination of country and folk with honest, heartfelt lyrics. Listeners can relate to each and every song telling stories of life, love and everything in between.

Peacock has just been nominated for best female artist in the 2015 International Acoustic Music Awards for her song, “Are We There Yet.” The song “Cool Kids” is receiving a lot of playing time on country stations. Other awards include her song “Hurricane” which won best song in the 2014 American Songwriting Awards; “Beautiful” won the 2014 Unsigned Only competition; she’s the Listening Room Network’s artist of the year, and has recently received endorsements from Taylor Guitars and DR Strings. Peacock has also performed on the CBS Morning Show in New York City.

“Sarah Peacock is the real deal. She’s got a rare and timeless talent with a craft that’s been honed for true longevity. Sarah’s voice exudes depth and soul beyond her years. Not only is she a talented performer and en-

tertainer, she is a prolific and profoundly gifted songwriter.

Sarah Peacock is going to be a Peacock

Where do these funds go? The Booster Club supports school activities by providing funds for equipment or other capital improvements. During 2014/2015, $15,000 was distributed by the Booster Club among the following activities: Band, Baseball, Football, Softball, Track, Boys and Girls Basketball, Volleyball, Wrestling, Tennis, Cross Country, Golf, Boys and Girls Soccer, Special Olympics, Cheerleading, Color Guard, Peppers, Speech, Vocal, and the Middle School activities program.

Also, in 2014/2015, the Booster Club assisted with funding of the Creston High School gym, marching band uniforms just to name a few. In addition, we also give a $500 scholarship each year to a CHS senior boy and senior girl.

Future projects are being considered but not finalized at this time.

The Club also directly supports student organizations (like Spanish Club, Cheerleaders, FCA and the Junior Class) that staff concession stands by paying them a percentage of proceeds each time they work. The Booster Club pays $16,000 -$18,000 each year to our concession stand workers.
