After three years of auditioning for the Colts Drum and Bugle Corps of Dubuque, Creston Community High School senior Maya Struhar finally received the news she’d been waiting for.

She immediately broke down in tears.

Maya finally achieved her dream of being selected for the Colts Drum and Bugle Corps. The previous two

years, she had been selected for the Colt Cadets, the open-class corps that serves as a feeder system for the Colts.

“It was a big deal. I’m super excited about it,” Maya said. “It’s a big deal to me and a big deal to my family.

My dad marched Colts back in the day, so it’s been his dream since I was little that I would someday follow in his footsteps and march in Colts.”

Struhar is the daughter of John and Adonica Struhar of Creston. John marched

with the Colts in 1986, when he was the lead soprano bugle player.

“It was probably the most transformational experience in terms of transforming from a youth to an adult,” John said about his experience with the Colts.

“You spend your whole childhood being treated like a child. That was the first time somebody said, ‘Look at this really incredible thing. It’s possible, but it’s up to you.’”

The Colts are named “Iowa’s Ambassadors of

“MY DAD marched in Colts back in the day, so it’s been his dream since I was little that I would someday follow in his footsteps and march in Colts.”

Iowa lawmakers begin session amid GOP vows of major change DES MOINES (AP) — Republican leaders on Monday kicked off the new session of the Iowa Legislature with a promise to make major changes to the workings of state government, though the party with new majorities in both chambers remained mum about specific details on plans to cut taxes, restrict abortion and limit the ability of public workers to bargain for health insurance.

Separately, a newly an-

nounced bill that would require Iowa voters to show identification at election booths received criticism from university students who argued it would disenfranchise them because it prohibits them from using school-issued IDs to vote.

Republicans used ceremonial opening remarks to highlight their plans to energize Iowa’s economy in part IOWA | 2A

Roland Hugh Boltinghouse, son of Orval (O.L.) and Della (Madden) Boltinghouse, was born Aug. 27, 1922, at home in Lenox.

He attended kindergarten and first grade in Lenox.

In 1930, his parents purchased a farm in Grove Township, and the family moved to the country. He spent the remainder of his school years at Grove No. 4, graduating with honors from eighth grade in 1936.

Since he had no transportation, he could not attend high school, so at age 15 he started his first job working with a threshing crew.

On May 9, 1944, Roland married Thelma Louise Ferguson at the Presbyterian Church in Creston.

They began married life on a farm in Grove Township not far from his parental home. Roland was a farmer all of his life. In

1948, following the death of his father, he and Thelma purchased the home place, and this farm would be their home for 56 years.

They lived there until 2004, when they moved to Vintage Park. Following Thelma’s death in 2004, Roland remained at Vintage Park until 2013 when he moved into Lenox Care Center.

Roland was a member of Sharpsburg Methodist Church, served on the Grove No. 4 School Board and was treasurer of the church for many years. He and Thelma were members of several neighborhood card clubs.

Roland is survived by his daughters, Diane (Dean) Bovaird, Connie (Bob) Birt and Kathy (Mark) Purdum; grandchildren, Rob (DeAnn) Birt, Jason (Shell) Birt, Ryan (Heather) Birt, Joel

(Sara LeFleur) Bovaird, Jill (Bill) Shuler, Alicia (Matt Casteel) Loman and Aaron (Ashley) Purdum; great-grandchildren, Marcus (Rachael), Kaylee and Conner Birt, Brendon and Isaac Birt, Nolan Birt, Kyle, Payton and Addison Shuler, Keaton and Kaleb Loman, and Makaila, Maddison and Maverick Casteel; great-great-grandson Easton Birt; special nieces, Mae Head and Lora Shontz; sister-in-law Marjorie Evans; brother-in-law Paul Brokaw and many other relatives and friends.

Roland was preceded in death by his wife, Thelma; parents; brother Cleo (Juanita); two grandchildren; mother- and fatherin-law, George and Mary Ferguson and sisters-inlaw, Merle Beggs, Juanita Sweeney, Georgia Stoaks and Helen Brokaw.

12, at Armstrong Funeral Home, 205 W. Monroe St., in Mount Ayr with family present from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Friday at the church.

Sheryl, daughter of Elmer Eric and Edna May (Ham) Henderson, was born Nov. 30, 1925, at Waukee. Sheryl’s father died when she was 6 years old and the family continued to work the farm. At the age of 16, Sheryl graduated from Van Meter High School in 1941. Sheryl went on to further her education at Drake University where she graduated in 1944 with an elementary teaching cer-

tificate, eventually earning her Bachelors of Science in education. Sheryl began teaching at Cambridge in 1944 and taught at Van Meter School from 1947 to 1951. She taught in Lenox School from 1951 to 1954.

On Dec. 28, 1953, Sheryl married Lee Keenan in Bedford. Sheryl and Lee moved to a farm near Maloy where they would live out their married years together. Sheryl took some time off from teaching to raise her family and in 1963, she returned to teaching first grade at Mount Ayr Community School, retiring in 1990. After Lee died March 27, 1995, she moved to Waukee.

Sheryl is survived by her daughters, Lynn (Paul) Baker of Creston,

Cheri May of Waukee and LeAnn Keenan (Dave Storer) of Harlan; grandchildren, Melissa Baker (Rocky Malloy) of Cedar Rapids, Meredith (Don) Wulf of Jewell and Samantha Hornback of Waukee; great-grandchildren, Londyn Wulf and Hattie Wulf; and in-laws, Jim Mitchell of Des Moines, Karl Wurster of Mount Ayr, Marion (Donna) Keenan of Bolivar, Missouri, and Virginia (Fred) Siverly of Clearfield.

Thelma, daughter of Raybourn Chester and Edith May Ray Thomas, was born Nov. 11, 1921, in Kent. Thelma grew up and lived in and near Kent until age 10, when she moved with her mother and brother to her grandparent’s farm on the Union Adams Road. She attended Kent schools, country school and graduated from Cromwell High School in 1939. In her youth, she was active in 4-H. After high school, she attended Chillicothe Business College for two years and worked in the Cromwell and Des Moines banks.

Iowa and are an elite, nationally ranked world-class competitive drum and bugle corps.

Maya will be a member of the color guard section in the Colts. Members are selected through a competitive audition process and are between the ages of 16 and 21 years old. Approximately 450 youth auditioned for one of the 150 positions in the group.

When Maya first auditioned for the Colts, she auditioned as a mellophone player. When organizers found out she was a dancer, they suggested she try out for color guard.

She performed well in the dance portion of the tryout, but struggled with the flag portion since she had no experience with flags at that point.

Still, she eventually earned a spot with the Colt Cadets as color guard captain. After filling that role the past two years, Maya is ready to join the Colts this year. “I actually learned so much at the open class level last year,� Maya said. “I was really disappointed for a long time not being selected for Colts, but I learned a lot more and grew a lot more as a person than I thought I would. I had more responsibilities than I knew I would have.�

The Colts travel and perform throughout the summer, beginning Memorial Day weekend, and concluding the second week of August. The group will be in session 80-plus days and perform more than 30 times for an audience estimated to number more than 200,000 people while traveling through 22 states.

The Drum Corps International World Championship Finals will be held Aug. 10-12 at Lucas Oil

through changes to how the state taxes people and businesses. They did not specify how they would achieve any tax cuts despite a roughly $110 million budget shortfall in the state’s $7.3 billion budget. There’s also no surplus dollars in the budget that begins in July. “With hard work and diligence, we are determined to make our time here of great consequence to the future of the state of Iowa,� said House Majority Leader Chris Hagenow, R-Windsor Heights. “Our time is now.�

The dynamic of complete GOP majority in the Iowa Capitol — both chambers and the governor’s office are Republican for the first time in nearly 20 years —

San Antonio, Minneapolis, Atlanta and Allentown, Pennsylvania, among other locations. “My favorite show this summer will be the one in Waukee,� Maya said. “It’s the one that’s closest to home, so it’s the one I’ll have the most family and friends at. Also, world championships in Lucas Oil Stadium sells out for three days. Just to be standing on that field at the end of your show and have 80,000 people stand up and clap for what you just did, it’s super rewarding.�

The group lives on the road the entire summer, sleeping and showering in school gymnasiums and eating meals prepared in a semi-turned kitchen truck staffed by volunteers.

The Colts have ranked in the top 25 of all drum corps for the past 33 years, including top-12 international finalist status eight of the past 22 years. There are more than 40 competitive corps in the country. “There are fewer drum corps today than when I marched,� John said. “It’s a lot more challenging to get into a drum corps now than it used to be. There’s a higher level of talent, and it takes a high level of talent and dedication to get int a world-class drum corps.

For her to actually make Colts is something I was extremely proud of. She was very patient with it and continued to do the hard work. She didn’t give up.�

After having made bonds with so many new friends the past two years with the Colt Cadets, Maya is looking forward to the memories she’ll make this year with the Colts. “Something I’ve found with my past two years is it’s not the performances you remember, it’s the moments in between,� she said. is expected to sweep in a broad range of conservative legislation to the state. Outgoing Gov. Terry Branstad has indicated plans to sign legislation before he resigns to become the next U.S. ambassador to China.

Democrats indicated they would resist controversial legislation, but the party will have little power to stop it. Republicans have a 59-40 majority in the House and a 29-20 majority in the Senate. “In recent weeks, I’ve read reports of your agenda to take away women’s rights, voting rights and worker’s rights,� said House Minority Leader Mark Smith, D-Marshalltown. “If you decide to take those divisive issues up this year, be prepared for a fight.�

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, January 10, 2017

Early defeat spurred dominant championship run I’ve been fortunate in my time at the News Advertiser to be a part of the coverage team of three Creston/O-M wrestling state championships (traditional tourney in 2007 and 2016, dual tourney in 2007) and a boys golf championship in 2013.

Also, there were state championships won by teams from Lenox, Nodaway Valley and Mount Ayr. And, a handful of state runner-up finishes, including Creston being one (uncalled) third strike from a state baseball title in 1990, when the Panthers were so sure it was a strike they were starting to run out of the dugout to celebrate.

But, the first team state title I got to be a part of was that incredible 1996-97 Creston boys basketball team, which averaged 81.2 points per game, including all state tournament games.

That’s why it was so much fun to have the primary coverage duties Saturday of the team’s 20-year reunion reception in the library and the halftime recognition ceremony. I appreciate Kaleb Carter of our staff handling the video duties while I took photos and chased down interviews.

It was a little hectic making sure I got to all of the players in attendance for at least a short conversation, but it was so fun to reminisce with them. Heck, I wasn’t quite 40 years old when I helped cover their team, so there’s been a lot of water under the bridge in that time!

Our boys were 11 and 8 years old and they looked up to those Panthers. I remember Ben Gerleman lifting Keith up on his shoulders in that giddy celebration at

Straight shots Larry Peterson senior feature writer

Southeast Polk a year earlier after the Panthers rallied from 19 points down with under seven minutes to play to beat Pella in the substate final.

One year later, Creston buried Nevada early in a substate game at West Des Moines Valley High School and the celebration was more muted. But, on the Saturday night of the state tournament, Panther fans set a new standard for loyal support by taking over Veterans Memorial Auditorium.

Mason City followed by winning its second straight 4A title, led by guard Dean Oliver, a Hawkeye recruit. Brian Bucklin said Saturday the team talked at the time about calling Mason City and asking the Mohawks to meet them somewhere in between for an “unofficial” overall state championship.

“We really believed we were the best basketball team in the state that year, and we would have loved a chance to prove it,” said Bucklin, Bucklin a sophomore on that squad.

Athletic talent Bucklin, who played baseball at Iowa, was one of seven eventual college athletes on that Panther

squad, including three Division I athletes. Kyle McCann played football at Iowa and Eric Owens played football at Southwest Missouri State, now known as Missouri State.

Ben Gerleman won an NAIA national basketball championship his senior year at Northwestern College in Orange City, and later coached a state championship at George-Little Rock in 2006 and a runner-up finish in 2008.

He preaches defense now to his Central Lyon team in the rugged northwest Iowa competition, but when asked about his high school team, it’s a different story.

“We knew we were going to score 80 points every night,” Gerleman said.

“Heck, Kyle could drop in 30 and you barely knew he was out there. It’s pretty tough for the other team when they know they B. Gerleman have to score 80 to have a chance.”

At the KMA Sports Hall of Fame ceremony, coach Mike Gerleman thanked a lot of people, including current coach Taylor Phipps for putting the program together. But, after talking to the players, I got the idea that the Atlantic team of 1996-97 should also be thanked.

They delivered a wake-up call.

Lone defeat Early in the season Atlantic won an overtime game in Creston,

83-77, when the Panthers were ranked No. 1 in Class 3A. It sparked another level of performance and there wasn’t a game that was close in the fourth quarter the rest of the season. That included an 88-66 drubbing of the Trojans in the return engagement later that season.

“I remember late in that game, we ran a set play to get it to Kyle for a dunk and it kind of sealed the deal,” Todd Stalker said. “It told them, you know what, we’re a lot better than you are. That (loss) should have never happened.”

The week after that defeat was boot camp under coaches Gerleman, Vic Belger and Matt Somers.

Especially when the JV ripped through the varsity’s press a few times during Monday’s practice.

“I firmly believe today that we don’t win the championship if we don’t lose that game,” said Cory Gerleman, one of those sophomore JV players. “That following week was the most intense week of practice I experienced in my four-year career of high school sports. When our scout team was breaking their press and scoring buckets on that first day back, I remember coach Belger letting those starters know that if you don’t pick it up, it’s going to happen again. Everything was dialed up to 11 at that point, and that was to the detriment of our health.”

Those sophomores felt the thud of the 260-pound Owens setting harder screens. Same with Jeff Finn, Conor Reed and Nick Nev-

ins, big upperclass post players.

McCann and Gerleman, swarming guards standing 6-6 and 6-4 respectively, made the traps extra tight. Quick guard Brady Steenhoek, who had four steals in the championship game, was the Energizer bunny out there, igniting fast breaks.

“When the starters took it up a notch, we weren’t breaking the press anymore,” recalled Scott Jackson, then a junior. “That loss lit a fire under us to push us through the rest of the season.”

Creston’s junior varsity also lost just one game that year, so the starters had decent competition in practice every day.

“That was a very close group and they had fun together, but when it was time for a game or practice, it was all business,” said coach Gerleman.

It’s difficult to describe just how entertaining those games were. And the sportsmanship award was icing on the cake. A great tribute to the loyal support of the school’s cheerleaders, pep band and many fans who traveled the state that winter.

To this day, when I hear Van Halen’s song, “Jump,” I think of those Panthers running onto the court for another dominating performance.

Thanks, guys. We’ll never forget that special season.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support local business when possible From Leona Westphal Corning

As I reflect on my end of life, thinking about what this business has become after 32 years, we are luck to have loyal customers.

Now comes reality if small businesses like ours are no longer here.

What becomes of some of our services like movie rental, hunting and fishing, laundromat and even moving a campsite, because there are no facilities available. The answer is simple, go to the next town. I’m sure they will welcome customers for groceries, gas, restaurants, etc.

If we are going to change our community, we need to work to-

gether. Put your differences aside.

Stop informing your employees not to shop at certain businesses in town.

Let’s keep our business in town when possible.

All we have is football HOLLYWOOD – God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Hollywood Reporter says TV executives are re-thinking how they’ll cover New Year’s Eve countdowns next year after so much went wrong on the air. I feel a lot better ever since the New Year. For the longest time, I thought I was the only one who didn’t know the words to Mariah Carey songs.

The Clemson Tigers upset the Alabama Crimson Tide in a thriller Monday for the National Championship. This weekend’s NFL playoffs include the Packers vs. the Cowboys. Meryl Streep really picked the wrong week to warn Americans that without Hollywood, all they’d have is football.

UFC golden girl Ronda Rousey received a 60-day medical suspension after she was knocked out in the first round. She was out so cold that when she woke up, she looked up and Bill Cosby was standing over her. The good news is, Ronda was declared winner of the fight by the Electoral College.

The Golden Globe Awards had

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Meryl Streep giving a public lecture to Donald Trump about his plan to halt illegal immigration with a wall.

She neglected to mention that to rent an apartment in Hollywood costs $2,000 per month. No illegal immigrant can climb over that and get in.

Meryl Streep declared the British, Australian and Canadian stars at the Golden Globes as deportable

by Trump as illegal aliens. They slip in through the U.S. border at the Beverly Hills Hotel registration desk. William Morris hires coyotes to smuggle them from the valet parking to the studios.

The Hollywood sign on the hills above Hollywood was altered by a prankster who changed the lettering to read Hollyweed. The cops were finally able to track him down and arrest him. He violated

a 60-year-old municipal ordinance which states that Hollywood is zoned strictly for cocaine.

Prince Harry declared that it’s our duty to protect endangered species as a test that God gives to humanity. Our republic just hasn’t worked out. Having lost the House and the Senate and the White House, the Democrats are pretty much down to requiring Royal protection to avoid extinction.

The New York Post says Trump’s election is turning liberals into conservatives. Think about it. Suddenly liberals are demanding checks and balances on presidential powers, with California’s secession threats, liberals are now in favor of state’s rights, and for the first time ever, Russia is bad.

The CIA gave a report to the White House accusing the Russians of hacking DNC emails to embarrass Hillary’s campaign. The evidence shows what Putin and the Russians did to influence the U.S. election. They helped the Democrats finally deliver on their promise of complete transparency.

Moe, Flowers wed in December ceremony WASHINGTON, D.C. — Alexandra Moe and Derek Flowers were married just before sunset Dec. 10 on the beach on Marco Island, Florida.

The bride is the daughter of Brian and Joann Moe of Naples, Florida. The groom is the son of Jim and Tami Flowers of Creston.

The Rev. Dr. Kyle Bennett officiated the ceremony.

Matron of honor was Kersten Moe Doherty, sister of the bride. Bridesmaids were Lauren Faust and Kathryn Burke, friends of the bride, and Morgan Gaffney, friend and colleague of the bride.

Best man was Matt Nielsen, friend of the groom.

Junior best man was Scottie Moe, brother of the bride.

Mr. and Mrs. Derek Flowers

Groomsmen were Dan Weinhold and Ben Stander, friends and fraternity broth-

ers of the groom, and Tim Moran, friend and colleague of the groom.

The bride is a 2010 graduate of University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland, with degrees in broadcast journalism and government and politics.

She is currently employed as Capitol Hill producer for NBC news, and also covered the 2016 presidential election.

The groom is a 2005 graduate of Iowa State University in Ames with a degree in political science. He is currently employed as political and public affairs consultant for Woodberry Associates in Des Moines and Washington, D.C. After a two-week honeymoon in Hawaii, the couple, who met on the campaign trail in 2011 in Iowa, currently reside in Washington, D.C.

Overrated or not, Streep’s speech has galvanizing effect NEW YORK (AP) — Speaking in a hoarse voice that quivered with emotion, Meryl Streep silenced a boisterous Golden Globes crowd and sparked a clamor heard around the country, all the way to Trump Tower.

Streep’s impassioned speech against Donald Trump while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award at Sunday’s awards has been heard like a battle cry in a left-leaning Hollywood that has been trying to reconcile itself to a Trump presidency it overwhelmingly didn’t vote for. Her speech has also further intensified the divide between Hollywood and Trump supporters, who call Streep another example of media elite on a soapbox.

Though Trump is yet to take office, the arts and the President-elect are increasingly on a collision course.

Trump has criticized the cast of “Hamilton,” which voiced its concerns about inclusion to Vice President-elect Mike Pence when he went to see the show on Broadway.

Seeing political parallels in its story of underdog rebellion, some Trump supporters called for a boycott of the “Star Wars” film “Rogue One.” And now, following Streep’s remarks, he on Monday called the most decorated actress in Hollywood “overrated,” even though he in 2015 called her one of his favorites actresses and “a fine person, too.”

With such institutions as “Star Wars” and Streep in the crosshairs, the culture wars have gone nuclear.

Battle lines and boycotts are being formed ahead of the Jan. 20 Inauguration, at which some entertainers have refused to perform.

Some conservatives have already vowed on social media not to watch the Feb. 26th Academy Awards, which promises to be rife with political protest.

How the growing discord will affect the tenor in the arts for the next four years remains to be seen. But what was clear Monday in the wake of Streep’s galvanizing speech is that the clash is just getting started.

In a night where the songand-dance ode to musicals “La La Land” set a Globes record with seven wins, including best picture, musical or comedy, Streep’s speech had the largest impact.

“There has never been anyone like Meryl,” applauded Ellen DeGeneres on Twitter. “I’ve never admired you more!” tweeted Sally Field. “Nearly without voice, her voice has never been so strong,” lauded Sharon Stone. “Thank you, Meryl,” wrote director Darren Aronofsky.

George Clooney at a screening Monday in London defended Streep’s right to speak her mind: “It’s her right, and I support her right forever — as much as it’s ev-

eryone else’s right to say she can’t say it.”

Political speeches at an award show — a little-loved, often ridiculed tradition — have seldom reverberated so strongly. Streep largely argued for empathy, inclusivity and the arts. And she claimed Hollywood wasn’t a bastion of elites, but “a bunch of people from other places.” Streep didn’t use Trump’s name, but spoke directly about him.

“It kind of broke my heart when I saw it,” Streep said ofTrump’s mocking of a disabled reporter during the campaign . “I still can’t get it out of my head because it wasn’t in a movie, it was real life. And this instinct to humiliate, when it’s modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life, because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.”

She also urged support for the Committee to Protect Journalists , a media advocacy group, “because we’re gonna need them going forward and they’ll need us to safeguard the truth.”

On Monday, Joel Simon, executive director of the CPJ, said Streep’s comments inspired “a huge upsurge” in donations and awareness.

“We received 500 donations last night and a couple hundred more this morning,” said Simon, who said the ongoing donations totaled about $60,000 as of early Monday afternoon.

“People are feeling very energized and impassioned.”

Conservative pundits, though, saw Streep’s speech as a reflection of the bicoastal liberal pomposity that Trump’s election was in part a rejection of, regardless of his own show business affiliations. “This is exactly why Hollywood is dying, what a bunch of hypocrites,” said Fox’s Sean Hannity. “The Meryl Streep speech is why Trump won,” said Meghan McCain, also a Fox personality. “And if people in Hollywood don’t start recognizing why and how — you will help him get re-elected.”

Early Monday morning came Trump’s tweets. He called Streep, a longtime and outspoken Democrat who stumped for Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention and famously imitated Trump at a Clinton fundraiser, “a Hillary flunky who lost big.” He called the allegation that he mocked a disabled reporter “more very dishonest media.”

The tweets provoked their own response. Soon, lists of other things that Trump finds “overrated” were trending.

Author Stephen King called his comments about Streep “childish, churlish, petulant ... exactly why most Americans

fear his presidency.”

At the White House, press secretary Josh Earnest said that Streep had clearly delivered “a thoughtful, carefully considered message” that reflected her deeply held beliefs.

“It seemed to me to be a fairly straightforward exercise of her First Amendment rights, as this is the United States,” Earnest said.

The Globes telecast drew 20 million viewers on NBC, according to the Nielsen company, an 8 percent increase from last year. It’s a positive sign for the Academy Awards, which will hope political debate fuels interest in this year’s ceremony, to be hosted by ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel — rather than turns off viewers whose views don’t align with Hollywood’s.

Dear Heloise: Please let readers know that when a vehicle is in an accident and children with car seats are involved, the CAR SEATS MUST BE REPLACED. Most insurance companies will replace the car seat. The car seats can be easily compromised (belts stretched, etc.). – Ruth in New Jersey You are right, Ruth! The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends that car seats be replaced when involved in a moderate to severe crash, but not necessarily after a minor crash. All crashes are different, and whether the child was in the seat at the time of the crash matters, too. If a child was in the seat at the time of the crash, be sure to replace it. Car seats are guaranteed to perform at their peak during only one crash. Even with no visible damage, a car seat may not hold up to a second crash.

Car-seat manufacturers have their own recommendations, depending on the company, so check with yours as well. When in doubt, I would replace the car seat no matter what, and most insurance companies should cover the replacement cost. – Heloise NIGHT LIGHT Dear Heloise: As my wife

and I grow older, we are becoming more and more aware of the dangers of falling. Some of our friends have already experienced falling in their homes at night.

We suggest investing in some small, motion-activated night lights, available at a hardware store, that come in battery-operated or plug-in varieties. We have mounted the lights around our house where we would likely be walking at night. They go on in succession as we proceed from one room to the next. We also have one in our overnight kit for those unfamiliar motel rooms and late-night bathroom visits. – J.R.F., via email SAVE MONEY Dear Heloise: My hint is for people who wear prescription eyeglasses. You can save a lot of money by reusing the frames and replacing just the lenses. Some well-made frames will last 10 years or longer. – Patricia R., Bellaire, Texas This can be a money-saving hint if the frames are in good condition. But be sure to check with the eyeglass provider, because some lenses cannot be replaced in frames without damaging

the frames. – Heloise NO CREASES Dear Heloise: Occasionally I will wear slacks for just a few hours while out to dinner, a short business meeting or an appointment. When I get home, I hang the slacks from the cuff using a pants hanger so that any creases come out from that day of wear. This saves a trip to the dry cleaner. – C.W. in New York CALENDAR STORAGE Dear Heloise: At the end of each year, I remove the binding from the family calendar, three-hole punch it at the top and put it in a photo binder with the other calendars from the past. This makes it easy to review prior years, and saves space stacking old calendars. – Jim M., via email Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at) Heloise.com.

Watson found Hunter Renfrow for a 2-yard touchdown pass with a second remaining to give the Tigers their first national championship since 1981. A year after Alabama won its fourth title under Saban with a 45-40 classic in Arizona, Clemson closed the deal.

PANTHER BOWLING

Creston splits Saturday match with Harlan

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

The Creston/O-M bowlers welcomed Harlan to Pine Valley in Creston Saturday.

The girls picked up another win while the boys fell.

The girls defeated Harlan 2189 - 2032. The boys fell to the Cyclones 2455-2118.

The Panthers are now 3-1 as the boys fell to 0-4.

“Probably the most well-attended match we have ever had and what they saw was some very solid bowling,” Creston/O-M coach Ron Pendegraft said.

“Having not competed since Dec. 17, I really didn’t know what to expect as far as scores went. As the first game progressed we were doing OK but not what I was hoping for and I know some of the kids wished they would have done better also. But in the second game things came together and scores improved and things seemed to be coming together.

The Panther girls stormed

ahead in round one with high schores from Kim Orr (179) and Livi Hartman (154) and held on in round to thanks to five of the six Panther bowlers registering a score of 154 or above.

Creston/O-M’s boys fell behind in round one despite a round one score of 175 from Zac Hague as Harlan’s Mitchell Leinen recorded a 210. The Cyclones went ahead 219 pins in the first round and won handily, 2,455-2,118.

After bowling for the first time in three weeks, the Panthers have a busy schedule ahead.

“Lots of bowling over the next (coming) days with the Red Oak Tournament on the 10th, our Panther Tournament on the 14th and Red Oak at home on the 17th,” Pendegraft said. “After that it’s only three weeks before we wrap it up and compete in the regional.”

POI BOYS HOOPS Boothe helps Cardinals rule the Eagles Nest in Friday win

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

AFTON — Sometimes numbers speak for themselves. Carter Boothe’s statline of 23 points, 14 rebounds and 15 assists said almost all you need to know.

Boothe’s performance led Central Decatur to a 67-50 road win at East Union that was closer than the score indicates in the fourth quarter.

“It’s my first time in eight years I’ve had a guy with a triple double,” Central Decatur coach Zach Clark said.

“That’s one heck of a night.

That shows what he can do.”

The Eagles trailed by double-dgit margins much of the night and trailed 50-35 after a long Boothe 3-pointer early in the fourth quarter.

Mason Gossman, quiet offensively for much of the night, began to force the issue and sparked a 10-0 Eagles run. The East Union press flustered the Cardinals over that stretch.

Casey Walter, cold up until that point, added to the flurry with a couple free throws and a clucth 3-pointer.

“Casey (Walter) is not a secret to the conference,” East Union coach Matt

Brown said. “He doesn’t go anywhere by himself.

He has to learn to use his height and shoot over or show everybody the ability penetrate that I know he has got.”

A Riley Ball jumper from the left block stopped the Eagles run with Central Decatur going up 54-47 and seemed to calm the Cardinals’ nerves. From that point forward the Cardinals handled the press thanks largely to the vision and ball skills of Boothe, who found the open man repeatedly to end the game.

His 15 assists came seamlessly.

Clark was impressed with his bench players who filled in over the time Central Decatur expanded its lead from five to 13.

“We had three starters on the bench when we took it from five back to 13. Tyler Davis and Micky Morgan and Trey petty came off the bench,” Clark said. “They haven’t been in that situation a lot this year. We’ve been in a ton of close games and it usually has been some other guys in those situations and those guys did a great job.”

Despite struggling on offense early, Gabe Nixon played well enough to keep

upper echelon of the conference this season.

“There are no nights off in the POI. It’s whoever brings their best game every night,” Brown said.

Clark expects to have a better idea of where everyone stands in about two weeks. His squad and others in the conference have a flurry of games coming up.

Right now he’s struggling to figure out where everyone is.

“I think it’s crazy. I don’t think you stand anywhere,” Clark said.

UP NEXT — East Union (7-3) hosts Southwest Valley Tuesday at 7:45 p.m.

Eagles succumb to swarm of Class 2A fourth-ranked Cardinals

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

AFTON — Central Decatur employed its press to near perfection in the first quarter of Friday’s road game at East Union. The class 2A fourth-ranked Cardinals used their early advantage to cruise to a 75-26 Pride of Iowa win.

Emma Atwood was’t shy in attacking the hoop in the first quarter and used that to propel herself to a 29-point effort to lead the Cardinals.

Olivia Eckels’s 13 points helped keep the Eagles’ spirits up as East Union played more loosely on offense after falling behind 20-2 within the first three minutes of the game. East Union trailed by 23 after a 30-7 first quarter.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Law enforcement officers in Orlando were engaged in a massive manhunt early Tuesday for a man accused of fatally shooting a police officer who approached him outside a Wal-Mart.

The manhunt itself has led to the death of a sheriff’s deputy in a traffic accident and the injury of another officer.

Master Sgt. Debra Clayton, 42, was killed outside the Wal-Mart store in northwest Orlando early Monday, and Orange County Sheriff’s Office Deputy 1st Class Norman Lewis was killed more than two hours later in a crash while responding to a manhunt for Markeith Loyd, 41.

Another Orlando police officer was involved in a crash while responding to the shooting but had only minor injuries.

The deaths left Orlando’s law enforcement community in mourning. Clayton’s patrol SUV was displayed in front of Orlando Police headquarters Tuesday morning. The police department also started an online fund to raise money for her family.

Authorities said Loyd previously was a suspect in the killing of his pregnant

Surveillance finds no Zika-carrying mosquitoes in Iowa AMES (AP) — Iowa State University insect experts say an extensive surveillance project last year found that the two mosquito species most associated with Zika virus are not established in the state.

The ISU Medical Entomology Laboratory oversaw mosquito trapping in 15 Iowa counties. The traps collected nearly 176,000 mosquitoes between May 3 and Oct. 4.

ex-girlfriend in December.

A massive manhunt involving hundreds of officers was conducted all day Monday as they searched for Loyd in dozens of homes, displacing some residents of a northwest Orlando apartment complex and tying up traffic.

“He should be considered armed and dangerous,” Police Chief John Mina said. Later in the day, the chief said, “It doesn’t matter where he is. We will track him down to the ends of the Earth.”

“IT DOESN’T matter where he is.

We will track him down to the ends of the Earth.”

__

JOHN MINA

Orlando Police chief

Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said deputies had been searching unsuccessfully for Loyd for several weeks since the fatal shooting of his ex-girlfriend and believe he was receiving help from someone.

Mina lauded Clayton, a 17-year veteran of the force, as a committed of-

ern part of the metro area.

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer declared a day of mourning in the city.

While at the Wal-Mart on Monday morning, Clayton was tipped off by someone that Loyd was in the area.

When she approached him, he fired multiple shots at Clayton, who was wearing body armor, Mina said.

Clayton returned fire but didn’t hit him, he said.

Sheriff’s officials said a deputy spotted Loyd fleeing in a vehicle. The suspect pulled into a nearby apartment complex and then fired at a deputy, striking the deputy’s SUV twice.

The deputy wasn’t harmed, the sheriff’s office said.

Loyd then carjacked another vehicle, drove away and then abandoned the vehicle not far away, according to the sheriff’s office.
