CITY COUNCIL

Council approves pro forma based on hotel feasibility study

CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER

Pictured is Supertel Inn and Conference Center on Laurel Street in Creston. Several companies are interested in bringing a new hotel and conference center to Creston. Creston City Council approved payment for a new pro forma based on Iowa State University’s hotel feasibility study to be conducted, providing those companies with more detailed data.

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

A new pro forma based on a hotel feasibility study will be conducted after Creston City Council unanimously approved spending up to $1,500 to obtain more accurate data.

A hotel feasibility study was conducted by Iowa State University in Ames during the spring and summer and information from that study was released in the fall.

One reason the city is having a more accurate pro forma done is because

investors want to see what the return on their investment will look like.

The Iowa State study was done after Union County Development Association approached the city council because there had been some interest in bringing a new hotel to the area. All of the interested parties inquired if the city had the feasibility study done.

After city council discussion, Iowa State University was awarded the bid for the study. Iowa State brought researchers to Creston to collect data.

“We had different representation from across

Japan PM pledges ‘unchanging’ allegiance to US under Trump TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Friday that he plans to visit the U.S. as soon as possible to meet with incoming U.S. President Donald Trump.

Speaking on the eve of Trump’s inauguration, he called the U.S.-Japan alliance an “unchanging principle” for his country’s foreign

and security policy.

His urgency to meet Trump reflects worries in Japan about how Trump’s “America first” policy will affect U.S. commitments to the Asia region, as well as fallout from any heightened tensions with China and North Korea.

the community – employers, the college, hospital – current businesses that Pantini utilize facilities and the challenges they have,” said Wayne Pantini, executive director of UCDA. Pantini said there has been interest from several different franchises over the past 6-8 months in seeing what the report says.

The city received two bids for $1,500 to conduct

the more accurate pro forma.

“These companies are in the hotel business, where Iowa State may do various projects,” City Administrator Mike Taylor said during Tuesday’s council meeting.

“They’re going to deal with the construction cost for a hotel.

Some of that in- Taylor formation is in the Iowa State study. But,

WASHINGTON (AP) — Following the path of inaugurations past, Donald Trump and Barack Obama rode together to the U.S. Capitol Friday as the real estate mogul and reality TV star who upended American politics prepared to be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.

His ascent puts Republicans in control of the White House for the first time in eight years.

“It all begins today!”

Trump tweeted at daybreak, before attending a morning church service with his family. “THE MOVEMENT CONTINUES THE WORK BEGINS!” At midmorning, Trump and his wife, Melania, stopped by the White House for the traditional private meeting of outgoing and in-

coming presidents and their spouses. Posing for photos on the North Portico, the couples exchanged hugs as Barack Obama chatted about the demands of protocol.

People flocked to the nation’s capital for the inaugural festivities, some wearing red hats emblazoned with Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan. But in a sign of the deep divisions Trump sowed during his combative campaign, dozens of Democratic lawmakers were boycotting the swearing-in ceremony on Capitol Hill.

People were lined up at security checkpoints before dawn to take their places in this quadrennial rite of democracy.

Search resumes for girl missing in western Iowa river DENISON (AP) — Authorities have resumed a search for a girl missing since the vehicle she was in plunged into the Boyer River in western Iowa.

The accident was reported about 3 a.m. Thursday in rural Crawford County. Authorities say the car was carrying five people when it ran off a rural road into the river. Four who reached safety

on their own or were rescued were taken to a Denison hospital. Their names and the girl’s haven’t been released. She’s believed to be teenager.

Deputies, firefighters and a dive team searched the river and its banks until 11:15 p.m. Thursday and stopped because of heavy fog. The searchers returned Friday morning.

Abe was the first foreign leader to meet Trump after the U.S. election, making a stop in New York in November on his way to Latin America.

“The Japan-U.S. alliance is the cornerstone of our country’s foreign and security policy, in the past, present and in the future,” Abe told parliament in an annual policy address. “It’s an unchanging principle.”

Abe said he wants to meet Trump to deepen that relationship further.

Trump will be sworn in as president Friday.

“I plan to further strengthen the bond with new President Trump,” Abe said. He didn’t give a specific date, but local media reports have mentioned late January as a possibility.

In the speech at the parliament, Abe also said the two allies, enemies in World War II, have a responsibility to show “the power of reconciliation” as they work together to contribute to global peace and prosperity.

Abe reiterated his concerns about “heightened tension” in the region amid China’s increasingly assertive maritime activity, and pledged to step up cooperation with other countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including India, Australia and those in southeast Asia.

He said he wants to keep the U.S. troop presence on the southern island of Oki-

various livestock. He helped with many types of jobs in the neighborhood, including electrical, plumbing, furnace work, corn shelling, hauling grain and hauling livestock.

He also drove the bus for the Orient-Macksburg wrestling team for many years and drove a bus route for Orient-Macksburg schools. Other jobs Kenneth had were hauling Kent feed for many feed dealers in the state, driving the trolley and delivering parts for CarQuest. Kenneth was a member of many organizations, including the Orient-Macksburg school board for many years, Iowa Association of School Boards, Masonic Lodge, Area Agency on Aging, Adair County Sheriff Reserves, Fontanelle Lumber Yard Board and Early Wheels of Iowa.

Kenneth is survived by his children, Wesley, Phyllis, Arlan (Deb), Joy (Jack), Mary (Mike) and Steven (Lea); grandchildren, Stacey, Byron (Jerri), Mike, Matt (Steph), Carol, Steven (Megan), Alex (Haley), Abby, Anna, Matt (Abbey) and Michelle (Eddie); great-grandchildren, Timothy, Dawson, Taylor, Arielle, Kasey, Kelsey, Kaelyn, Jocelyn, McKenna, Emily, Burton, Elliott, Henry, Charolette, Stella, Hazin, Hank, Nash and Roen; brother, Vern; sister, Jean; sister-in-law, Viola; brother-in-law, Rodger; brotherand sister-in-law Bruce and Zola Westphal; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

nawa as “deterrence.”

During his election campaign, Trump demanded that Tokyo pay more of the cost to keep the 50,000 U.S. troops stationed in the country under a bilateral security pact, threatening to pull them out otherwise.

He has not said that after being elected, presumably following repeated reminders by Japanese officials that Japan makes significant host-nation contributions.

Experts say Japan has benefited from its alliance with Washington largely because of the U.S.-led world order. With some worried about how that could change under a Trump administration, Japan should do its utmost to convince his administration that the alliance is important for both sides.

“I guess we took American internationalism too much for granted ... It has always been, at least after World War II, the bedrock of the international order.

And I would say that Japan was the country that benefited from the existence of this world order the most,” said Toshihiro Nakayama, a Keio University international politics professor.

He said Japan needs to get Trump to convince his people that America should remain committed to the region so they don’t retreat into isolation.

“We have to convince the Americans to stay committed in this region,” Nakayama said. “What we have to do is convince the Trump team that for you as well, Japan is the best choice.”

said Kevin Puchalski, a 24-year-old construction worker who drove from Philadelphia. “This is the first president that I voted for that won.” His big hope: Trump builds that promised wall on the U.S.-Mexican border. “Keep the illegals out,” he said.

Protesters, too, were out in force, in some cases slowing the progress of visitors passing through checkpoints. Police in riot gear were deployed around the city to keep the peace in the peaceful transfer of power.

Eleanor Goldfield, who helped organize the Disrupt J20 protest, said demonstrators hope to show they will not be silent throughout Trump’s presidency. She called Trump supporters “misguided, misinformed or just plain dangerous.”

Crowds on the National Mall, where people without tickets could view the inauguration on video screens, grew steadily throughout the morning. But less than two hours before the swearing-in, there were still wide swaths of empty space.

Trump aides said the president-elect had been personally invested in crafting his inaugural address, a

themselves.

“I’d sure hate to lose a $5 million hotel because we didn’t want to spend $1,500,” said Steve Wintermute, at-large city councilman.

Taylor said the Iowa State study was based on 32 and 64 rooms. The new study will be based on a number between 32 and 64 to provide more realistic numbers.

It will take 30 days for the new study to be completed.

“Both of these are high-

ly known hotel, hospitality specialty companies,” Taylor said. “That’s what they work on. They’ll have their financial people go through the data. Most of the data Iowa State did is good stuff, they just want more refined financials.”

Pantini said the more accurate information will be beneficial for the interested parties.

“I think they’re just looking for some more honed-in numbers,” he said. “I think

with this effort moving forward, having a third party put some different financials together, we’ll have a better picture. But yes, we do still have some significant interest (from companies) moving forward.”

relatively brief 20-minute speech that is expected to center on his vision for what it means to be an American.

Spokesman Sean Spicer said the address would be “less of an agenda and more of a philosophical document.”

Trump has pledged to upend some of Obama’s major domestic and national security policies, including repealing his signature health care law and building a wall along the entire U.S.-Mexico border. But he’s offered few details of how he plans to accomplish his agenda, often sending contradictory signals.

The three days of inaugural festivities kicked off Thursday as Trump and incoming vice president Mike Pence solemnly laid a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery before joining supporters for an evening concert at the Lincoln Memorial.

“We’re going to unify our country,” Trump said at the close of the two-hour concert featuring country star Toby Keith, soul’s Sam Moore and The Piano Guys.

With rain in the forecast, the National Park Service eased its “no umbrella” policy for Friday, allowing collapsible umbrellas along the parade route and on the National Mall.

The nation’s soon-tobe president joked about

the chance of a downpour.

“That’s OK,” Trump told campaign donors at an event Thursday night, “because people will realize it’s my real hair.”

“Might be a mess, but they’re going to see that it’s my real hair,” he said.

Celebrities were weighing in from all parts of the globe.

Matthew McConaughey, in London to promote movies, stressed a need for acceptance, saying, “The votes came in, the peaceful transfer of power should happen today and we all need to embrace that.” James Taylor, a vocal Trump critic, emailed a video postcard from his vacation in French Polynesia, saying that on the last day of the Obama administration, “it feels like it’s raining all over the world.”

On the eve of the inauguration, protesters and Trump supporters clashed outside a pro-Trump event Thursday night, with police using chemical spray to try control demonstrators outside the “DeploraBall.”

The name was a play on a campaign remark by Hillary Clinton, who once referred to some Trump’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables.”

All of the living American presidents were scheduled to attend the swearing in ceremony, except for 92-year-old George H.W. Bush, who was hospitalized

this week with pneumonia.

His wife, Barbara, was also admitted to the hospital after falling ill.

Clinton, Trump’s vanquished campaign rival, also planned to join dignitaries at Capitol Hill.

While Trump revels in a celebratory lunch with lawmakers and parade up Pennsylvania Avenue — passing his newly opened Washington hotel — workers at the White House will set about the frantic process of moving out the Obamas and preparing the residence for its new occupants. Moving trucks were on standby Friday morning at the White House.

Obama, who will continue to live in Washington, was leaving town with his family after the inauguration for a vacation in Palm Springs, California. He planned to address a farewell gathering of staff at Joint Base Andrews before boarding his last flight on the military aircraft that ferries presidents on their travels.

Obama began his day with a final visit to the Oval Office and goodbye tweets echoing a farewell letter he had penned to the American people.

“I won’t stop,” he tweeted. “I’ll be right there with you as a citizen, inspired by your voices of truth and justice, good humor, and love.”

Timing of Mexico drug lord’s extradition seen as political MEXICO CITY (AP) — Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s abrupt exit to face charges in the U.S. marks the end of an era in which he was Mexico’s most notorious drug cartel boss and, for some, the stuff of folk legend.

It’s also seen by many in Mexico as a delicately timed maneuver aimed at limiting political fallout for President Enrique Pena Nieto, already deeply unpopular in part for his perceived mishandling of Donald Trump’s tough rhetoric on Mexico.

Deputy Attorney General Alberto Elias Beltran, asked at a Thursday night news conference about the timing of Guzman’s extradition, said the federal government cannot interfere in court decisions.

“It was resolved today, and we under terms of the international treaty had to make the handover immediately,” he said.

But observers still considered the timing to have been carefully planned.

“It could be a coincidence, but I think that’s unlikely,” Mexican security analyst Alejandro Hope said, noting it came the last full day of Barack Obama’s presidency and

hours before Trump’s inauguration.

“They could not send him after Trump was inaugurated because the interpretation would have been that of a tribute,” Hope said.

“But maybe they wanted to do it close enough so that both administrations — the outgoing and the incoming — could really make some political hay out of this.”

Others saw it as a reward to Obama and a shot across the bow of Trump, who has called immigrants coming illegally from Mexico criminals and “rapists” and vowed to build a border wall and make Mexico pay for it.

“The Mexican government decided to move up the time frame because they didn’t want Trump to be in the presidency when they sent him over,” said Michael Vigil, the former head of international operations for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. “They wanted Obama to take credit. They wanted to send a message to Trump that they won’t be bullied.”

One Guzman lawyer, Jose Refugio Rodriguez, said the extradition violat-

ed due process. He told the Radio Formula station that he planned to file a complaint with the Inter-American Human Rights Commission.

Guzman’s departure came the same day Mexican officials announced high-level talks Jan. 25-26 in Washington. The discussions will include Mexico’s newly installed top diplomat, Luis Videgaray, and key Trump administration officials such as chief of staff Reince Priebus, sonin-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner and senior adviser Stephen Bannon.

Hope said the timing also sends a message that Mexico is serious about anti-drug cooperation regardless of who occupies the White House.

Sen. Miguel Barbosa of the leftist opposition Democratic Revolution Party seized on the extradition to take a swipe at Pena Nieto. He said it was apparently the only choice after Guzman twice pulled off embarrassing escapes from maximum-security lockups.

“We should not celebrate that the Mexican state was not capable of processing

the greatest criminal that has ever existed in Mexico and was not capable of guaranteeing his incarceration,” Barbosa said in a statement.

Pena Nieto currently has the lowest approval ratings for any Mexican leader in the polling era. Besides his handling of Trump, Mexicans are also angry about corruption, rising drug gang violence and a Jan. 1 deregulation that led gasoline prices to spike by as much as 20 percent.

Another of Guzman’s lawyer, Andres Granados, accused the government of trying to distract the public.

“They handled it politically to obscure the situation of the gas price hike,” Granados said. “It’s totally political.”

Some Mexicans feared Guzman’s extradition to the United States, where he will surely be kept from communicating with underlings, could unleash a cartel power struggle and more bloodshed.

“All the different bands are going to start fighting among themselves, no?

MONEY & TAXES A READERSHIP FEATURE OF THE CRESTON NEWS ADVERTISER ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT

How to get and keep your finances in order In 2015, analysts with the Government Accountability Office found that the average American between the ages of 55 and 64 had accrued roughly $104,000 in retirement savings, a shockingly low figure that would make it very difficult for men and women nearing retirement to maintain their quality of life into their golden years.

Things don’t look much better north of the border, where the 2015 Global Investor Pulse Survey from the asset management firm BlackRock found that the average Canadian in the same age group had amassed an average of just $125,000.

While many people fear retiring with small nest eggs, that fear has apparently not been enough to inspire men and women to commit to saving more money for their golden years. But retirement saving is essential, especially since life expectancies are rising. According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, global life expectancies at birth are expected to rise to 76 years by the mid-21st century.

That’s a far cry from the mid-20th century, when global life expectancy from birth was roughly 48 years.

Longer life expectancies

mean men and women will have to find ways to make their money last throughout their retirement. The earlier adults figure out how to keep their finances in order, the more money they will have when the time comes to retire. The following are a handful of strategies men and women can employ to rein in their finances in the hopes of saving more for retirement.

• Review your finances at least once per month.

Hectic schedules or fear of the financial unknown make it easy for adults to ignore their finances for long stretches of time. But adults should review their financial situation at least once per month, examining how they are spending their money and if there are any ways to cut costs and redirect dollars going out into their retirement accounts. Redirecting as little as $100 per month into a retirement account can add up to a substantial amount of money over time.

• Pay monthly bills immediately. Many adults receive monthly bills for utilities, rent/mortgage, phone, and television/ Internet. If you have the money in your account, pay these bills the moment you receive them. Doing so is

a great way to avoid overspending on other items, such as dining out or shopping trips, and then finding yourself scrambling to pay bills come their due dates.

Once all the monthly bills have been paid and you have deposited money into your savings/retirement accounts, then you can spend any leftover money on nights out on the town or new clothes if you feel the need.

• Buy only what you can

afford. It sounds simple, but many adults would have far more in their retirement accounts if they simply avoided buying items they cannot afford.

According to a 2015 Harris Poll conducted on behalf of NerdWallet, the average credit card debt per indebted American household in 2015 was $15,762.07. Adults who want to get their finances in order and start saving more for retirement

should put the plastic away and only make purchases with cash or debit cards that take money directly out of their bank accounts once the card is swiped.

• Downsize. Downsizing is another way to free up more money for retirement savings. Empty nesters can save money by downsizing to a smaller home or even an apartment. Drivers who no longer need room for the whole family can downsize from SUVs or

minivans to smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles.

Adults also may be able to downsize their entertainment, switching from costly cable packages to basic plans or cutting the cord entirely and subscribing to more affordable streaming services.

Getting a grip on spending can help adults save more for retirement and ensure their golden years are not compromised by lack of funds.

How to handle an old 401(k) Upon making the transition to a new job or retiring, many people are unsure about what to do with their 401(k) or other retirement plans linked to their employer. Handling this transition can be costly, and many men and women might benefit from the advice of a professional financial advisor to help them navigate these waters without breaking the bank.

Some men and women may think they’re forced to cash out their retirement accounts when moving on to new companies.

But, depending on a person’s age, that’s a potentially costly option that can incur heavy penalties. Fortunately, cashing out is not the only option men and women have as they try to figure out what to do with their retirement accounts after retiring or moving on to new companies.

Keep the money with your former employer Some employers allow former employers to keep their retirement savings in their plans. This allows men and women to avoid early withdrawal penalties and lets them continue to defer paying taxes on retirement savings accounts until they reach retirement Want to keep it?

age and need to start withdrawing money. Another benefit to keeping money in an employer retirement plan even after you leave the company is it protects you if there are rollover restrictions governing any additional accounts you might have transferred the money into. Employers who do allow former employees to keep their money in retirement plans likely included certain language in those plans that govern how the account is managed after employees leave the company. For example, former employees may no longer be able to contribute to the plan or take out plan loans. In addition, when the time comes to withdraw money, you may or may not be allowed to make partial withdrawals from accounts linked to former employers. Read the fine print to determine if keeping the plan with a former employer makes the most sense for you.

Rollover into your new employer’s retirement plan Some people have the option to rollover a 401(k) from a previous employer into their new employer’s plan. But not all compa-

nies allow this. If you are allowed to do so, this can make the transition that much easier while still allowing tax-deferred growth on your assets. In addition, if you can rollover into your new employer’s plan, you may be allowed to take out loans based on the amount of

your combined plan instead of just loans against new contributions. Rollover and plan loan eligibility should be confirmed with your new employer.

Before rolling over money into your new employer’s plan, confirm your investment options under the new plan. If they pale

Raul Benitez, a security expert at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, said Guzman’s offspring may try to challenge for control in what “could be a negotiation without violence, or a war with machine guns.”

However, Vigil predicted that the operations of Guzman’s Sinaloa cartel are unlikely to be affected.

“Most cartels have a vertical structure, but ...

Sinaloa has a horizontal one with cells that operate in a semi-autonomous manner,” Vigil said. “They have a strong bench. They have a respected leader in Ismael ‘El Mayo’ Zambada.”

CLUB NEWS Iowa Alpha Gamma

The Iowa Alpha Gamma chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa met Jan. 9 at A and G Restaurant and Lounge. President Colleen Gangestad conducted the business meeting. The October Altruistic/ADK month project was a success, with the donation of 220 paper and personal care items given to Creston Area Food Pantry.

Chapter treasurer Lois Houghtaling reported Alpha Gamma recorded a profit of $136 for hosting the Southwest Regional Leadership meeting in October, as a result of members’ donations of food and time. The annual soup supper and charity auction in November netted $927. Proceeds were distributed to Union County Ministerial Alliance, Creston Area Food Pantry and Crisis Intervention Advocacy Center, with some to be allocated for book scholarships to high school seniors planning a career in education.

Secretary Pam Dunham will make amendments to

the chapter’s by-laws. The quorum needed for a business meeting was changed to four. Carolyn Biere and Lori Mann will submit the Altruistic report to the state office by March 15. Becky Riley’s resignation was accepted with regret.

The next meeting will be 5:30 p.m. Feb. 13 at Pizza Ranch, with Barb Coenen demonstrating scrapbooking ideas.

Elzevir Reading Circle

Elzevir Reading Circle met 12:30 p.m. Jan. 13 at the home of Kay Ritter for the anniversary luncheon. After the delicious lunch served

by Ritter, Terry Ammon, acting as president, called the meeting to order with the quote by John Stuart Mill: “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends than that good men should look on and do nothing.”

Members answered roll call by telling where they were born. The secretary’s and treasurer’s reports were given and approved.

Money was given to the

Christmas Basket fund as well as the library during December.

Angela Pullen, reading chairman, reported every member had turned in the number of books, magazines and newspapers read during 2016 and she has sent in the totals to GFWC. She also gave the total number of books read and the most popular books.

Volunteer hours were handed into Ammon to be forwarded on to GFWC. Members shared recent books read.

Motion to adjourn meeting was made by Mary Burg and seconded by Angela Pullen. Motion passed.

“Link to a Golden Past” was the title of the program presented by Ammon. She spoke of the Black Hills Gold Rush which began in 1874. Historic mining towns sprang up overnight, and some of the best placer grounds were found at Deadwood Gulch. The Homestake Mine was eventually developed into the largest and deepest gold mine in North America, and went on to produce over 40 million ounces of gold between 1878 and

its closure in 2002. This became the second most significant gold discovery in the U.S., behind the more recently-discovered Carlin deposits of Nevada.

Raymond Davis was the lead scientist behind the Homestake Experiment, the large-scale radiochemical neutrino detector which first detected evidence of neutrinos from the sun. He shared the Nobel Prize in 2002 in physics for his work. Ammon lived in the area and related some of her experiences from that time. Mining has slowed down significantly in the Black Hills. Most of the mines are now inactive, but small-scale prospectors can still pan for gold in the many creeks throughout the Black Hills.

The next meeting will be held at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 10 in the home of Carol Brentnall. Barbara Thomsen will present the program.

HAWKEYE BASKETBALL Trimble, 25th-ranked Terrapins outlast Iowa 84-76

By LUKE MEREDITH

AP Sports Writer

IOWA CITY (AP) — With a bad loss looming, Maryland turned to its best player to maintain its unlikely lead atop the Big Ten. Melo Trimble scored 20 points and No. 25 Maryland rallied after blowing a 15-point lead to outlast Iowa 84-76 on Thursday night for its fourth straight victory.

Trimble broke out of a slump with consecutive 3-pointers in the final 3 minutes to key the Terrapins (17-2, 5-1), who have also won three in a row on the road (Michigan, Illinois and Iowa).

“We just kept believing that we were going to win,” Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said.

“Just another gutty road win for us.”

Maryland was threatening to blow out the Hawkeyes (11-9, 3-4) before Iowa went on a 10-0 run midway through the second half.

The Hawkeyes went ahead 72-69, but an 8-0 spurt fueled by Trimble’s 3s gave Maryland a lead it did not relinquish.

“I had that in my mind the whole game, just to keep being aggressive,” said Trimble, who shot at least 50 percent for the first time in five games. “I had that aggressive mindset to just keep shooting.”

Anthony Cowan had 15 points and six assists for the Terrapins, who shot 56.6 percent from the field.

Peter Jok, the Big Ten’s leading scorer, had 14 points for Iowa on 4-of-12 shooting.

Jok’s back flared up in a loss Sunday to Northwestern.

“I think you’ve got to give them credit for the shots t h e y made,” s a i d I o w a McCaffery coach Fran McCaffery, who showed his displeasure with the officiating after the game. “They did a good job of answering our runs with timely baskets.”

BIG PICTURE Iowa: The Hawkeyes brought their hangover from an 89-54 loss to Northwestern last weekend back to Iowa City, shooting 29 percent in the first half. But Iowa, which has been up and down since November, got going in the second half and stormed ahead.

Trimble simply showed why he’s one of the nation’s best guards when it mattered.

CRESTON/O-M WRESTLING

Panther wrestlers find their groove Creston/O-M dominates competition Thursday

■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

SHENANDOAH — Creston/Orient-Macksburg wrestling coach Darrell Frain and his staff have been preaching steady efforts up and down the lineup as the season heads towards the homestretch.

The Panthers had solid efforts throughout all 14 weight classes in cruising to a pair of Hawkeye 10 Conference dual meet wins Thursday.

Creston/Orient-Macksb u r g dominated Shenandoah 5915 and c r u s h e d Frain D e n i son-Schleswig 84-0.

“We had consistency.

That was the biggest part of the night,” Frain said.

The Panthers showed on the mat what Frain, assistants Cody Downing, Tanner Webb and Casey Tanner have been emphasizing to the team in recent workouts.

“That’s what we’ve been looking for the most,” Frain said. “That’s what we’ve been preaching a lot right now as a team. Good teams

consistently do the things they need to do to win. Consistency is the big thing right now.”

The night went according to what Frain and the staff had it planned.

“We knew coming in that we were favored in both of them by quite a bit,” Frain said. “We wrestled well.”

Thursday’s matches prepared the Panthers for a big weekend.

“That’s the biggest thing is getting set up, Luther ready,” Frain said.

UP NEXT — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg is back on the mat today and to-

morrow at the 62nd annual John J. Harris Tournament in Corning.

“We created momentum hopefully,” Frain said. “The kids wrestled well (Thursday). Hopefully they have good matches (Friday).”

POI BOYS BASKETBALL

Instant hoops classic

I-35 boys edge Mount Ayr in 3OT thriller

■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Mount Ayr and Interstate 35 traded blow for blow throughout the fourth quarter of Thursday’s Pride of Iowa Conference boys basketball game.

The blows continued into the first overtime.

And the second overtime.

And the third overtime.

Interstate 35 finally was able to edge ahead in the third overtime to earn a 7673 win.

The Roadrunners scored five straight points to end the third overtime.

Bridger Hutton and Tanner Daniels each hit one free throw to tie it at 73-73.

Daniels hit the go-ahead free throw. Austin Clark made 2-of-2 free throws to give the Roadrunners a 7673 lead.

Interstate 35 had opportunities to salt the game away but missed four straight free throws in the final minute,

leaving Mount Ayr an opportunity to push it to a fourth overtime.

Raiders junior Tristan Holmes had a good look from 3-point range, but the shot fell short and Interstate 35 grabbed the rebound to secure the win.

“That’s a fun one,” said Interstate 35 coach Nate Rankin. “We gutted it out.”

All who played and coached in Thursday’s game will remember this one for years to come.

“I was telling the guys this in the locker room — there will be nights when guys will sit around squares and be eating together and they’ll talk about a triple overtime game in Mount Ayr,” said Mount Ayr coach Bret Ruggles. “This is one of them. It sucks to be on the bottom of it, but not many guys get to play in a game like this.”

The game was even more fun for the coaches on both sides, all longtime good friends.

“To play in a game like this against Rankin who’s been my best friend for a long time, (Mount Ayr assistant coach) Jeff (Levine) and I’ve been close to him for a long time. This is a great one,” Ruggles said.

“This is one you want to be a part of.”

play after play, stretching the game 12 minutes past its scheduled 32 minutes.

“For awhile you couldn’t tell if either team wanted to win or we wanted to play all night,” Rankin said. “That was a fun one.”

Myles Greene tied the game at 54-54 with two free throws with 41 seconds left in regulation.

Interstate 35 had two opportunities, but both shots were no good.

Mount Ayr scored five straight to start the first overtime, but Interstate 35 countered with five of their own to knot it at 59-59. Interstate 35 went ahead 66-63 on a Hutton triple Lucas Wurster made one free throw, then Dawson

Frost added a bucket to knot it up and force a second overtime.

Possessions were at a premium in the second overtime as both teams slowed the pace way down.

Alex McCuddin’s free throw gave Interstate 35 a 71-70 lead, but Tristan Holmes countered with one free throw to tie it at 71-71.

Interstate 35 had one more look but couldn’t convert.

Capitalizing on possessions by both sides was top notch late in regulation and through the overtimes.

“Both teams did a great job executing late,” Ruggles said. “We ran a couple of great sets. They ran a couple of great sets. They got a couple great looks for kids. To

be able to execute like that in an overtime, double overtime, triple overtime game is really commendable.”

Neither team could gain much separation throughout. The largest lead by either side was only a handful of points. Interstate 35 did lead 19-12 early in the second, but Mount Ayr chipped away at the deficit.

The Roadrunners led 25-24 at halftime. Mount Ayr led 40-37 after three quarters.

Interstate 35 had to make a big change in its lineup.

Key starter Richie Griglione missed the game with an illness.

Hutton and company stepped up. Hutton finished with a game-high 23 points.

“We talked about somebody’s got to step up, somebody’s got to do it,” Rankin said. “He really stepped up and did everything we needed him to do.”

Christopher Godfrey added 14 points, while Brenann McCuddin had 14 points.

Frost led Mount Ayr with 21 points. John Shields had 20 points, while Myles Greene had 14 points.

UP NEXT — It’s a short turnaround for both teams as they return to Pride of Iowa Conference play tonight.

Interstate 35 (7-5, 7-3) travels to Bedford (6-5, 4-5).

“That’ll be a ball-buster,” Rankin said.

Mount Ayr (2-12, 2-8) is at Wayne (5-9, 1-9).

“What we’re going to have to do is use some of those shirts that sit on the bench,” Ruggles said. “We know they can do it. They need confidence, need to step up and do it. We’re going to have to look at some different subbing against a decent Wayne team.”

Timberwolves end with a roar in home win Southwest Valley is the winner of five straight POI games

CORNING — This weekend’s show in Corning was supposed to wait until Friday when the 62nd annual John J. Harris wrestling tournament began.

Instead, the Southwest

Valley girls basketball team got the excitement off to an early start with a thrilling Sunderman 43-42 win over Martensdale St. Marys

Thursday in POI play.

Danica Sunderman’s 10foot jumper from the left side of the floor off of an assist by Katie Taylor put the Timberwolves up by the game’s final tally with under 40 seconds remaining.

Everything about the second half was scrappy in nature, with loose balls and

tie-ups galore.

Spirited Timberwolves’ effort falls short Southwest Valley battled its collective heart out ■

BY KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

CORNING — Bottling up Brady Gavin and putting pressure on the Martensdale St. Marys guards was the plan for the Southwest Valley boys basketball team from the start.

It only worked for so long, as the Blue Devils rode large second and fourth quarter streaks to a 61-55 victory Thursday in Corning in POI play.

“We tried to put pressure on their guards and then front him (Gavin) and play behind him was our main focus,” Southwest Valley coach Andrew Focht said.

“In the second quarter, we kind of got away from pressuring the guards and they start picking us apart. There was some small lapses in defensive pressure on the wings that caused them to be able to get the ball where we didn’t want it.”

After Southwest Valley cut the Martensdale St. Marys lead in the fourth to two on a Grant Maurer layup (56-54), the Timberwolves went cold for several posessions.

Down 58-55 with under 20 seconds remaining and

out just before time expired.

In the game’s final minutes, the play of Jentry Schafer and Morgan Shuey was big. Shuey scored several buckets toward the end of the third to give Southwest Valley back a lead it lost early in the fourth.

Schafer has stepped up her role in the Timberwolves’ offense during what has been a five-game Pride of Iowa win streak. She has scored at least 10 points in each of those games.

Schafer hit a bucket to score the final of her 12 points to pull Southwest Val-

with the ball out of bounds, the Timberwolves were unable to break free for a clean look. Maurer forced out a contested look that bounced off the rim.

With 2.5 seconds remaining, Dakota Gibson hit the front end of a one-and-one, and missed the second and followed it up with a make to represent the game’s final score.

Wyatt McAlpin, a senior who is committing to Moringside College to run for the track and field team, scored 25 points, grabbed six boards and swiped three steals.

He was keyed in from the start.

“I made a few shots and I became really confident,” McAlpin said. “Then I noticed they weren’t stopping me so I was like ‘I’m just going to keep going.’ As the night went on I kept getting more confident.”

Gavin, one of Class 2A’s top boys scorers at 23.5 points per game coming into play Thursday, struggled to get passes from teammates as the Timberwolves blanked him by fronting him and having an extra man help from behind.

Gavin, a 6-7 junior, got going to an extent in the first half with nine points, but it was the combined play of the other players who took advantage of easier looks for themselves.

“We had a couple kids that got more aggressive. ley within a point at the 3:05 mark of the final period, 4039.

Southwest Valley coach Allen Naugle, pleased with his team’s performance throughout the night, gave extra commendations to Schafer.

“Sometimes I forget she’s a freshman,” Naugle said.

Kylie Sherwood nailed a jumper with a minute and a half to go in the game to make Martensdale’s lead 4239.

Less than 10 seconds of play later, Schafer went to the line and calmly knocked down two free throws. After forcing a turnover, the Timberwolf offense set up and

Southwest Valley senior Wyatt McAlpin looks to score as he makes another confident drive to the hoop past Martensdale St. Marys senior Jake Bakerink Thursday.

The ones that they left open to double-team Brady started attacking the rim more,” Martensdale St Marys coach Joe Franey said.

“Someone would slide over to help and we would start dishing off.”

Bret Barnett’s play was important to the win for the Blue Devils, as he scored 16.

Also scoring in double figures were Gibson (12) and Jake Bakerink (11).

Gavin, who is playing his first full season of basketball since eighth grade, still scored 17 points.

Chance Cobb added 10

points and Maurer had seven for the Timberwolves.

“What was great about it in the locker room after the game, the players even said it doesn’t matter our record as long as we keep getting better. Everybody gets into districts,” Focht said. “We’re going to give everybody a fight the rest of the way.”

UP NEXT — Southwest Valley (8-7, 6-5) will head to Nodaway Valley (8-3, 6-2) for a game in Corning Tuesday at 7:45 p.m.

MOUNT AYR — Mount Ayr’s Megan Warin was not feeling the best prior to Thursday’s Pride of Iowa Conference game against Interstate 35.

The Raiderettes senior fought through the illness to come up with the right play at the crucial time.

Warin made the second of two free throws with 6.5 seconds left to give Class 2A eighth-ranked Mount Ayr a 35-34 win.

Warin came off a high pick and took it to the basket and was fouled.

Warin missed the first one, then came back and made the second.

“We set that last play up for her,” said Mount Ayr coach Thad Streit. “She’s a good driver. We tried to get her to the hoop, maybe get fouled. She did what we wanted.”

Warin had a headache in the middle of the day that required a trip to the emergency room for medicine.

Warin recovered in time.

“She says she’s feeling better, but she wasn’t herself,” Streit said.

The Raiderettes had to survive a close call in the final seconds. Interstate 35 senior Slye Richardson was fouled with 1.5 seconds left and stepped to the line for a 1-and-1.

Richardson entered among the state leaders in free throw percentage, having made 55-of-63, good for 87.5 percent.

The shot fell a little short.

Mount Ayr grabbed the rebound and time expired.

“We got what we wanted there at the end. We just

didn’t get it,” said Interstate 35 coach Jamie Smith.

Mount Ayr’s defense did an effective job shutting down Richardson and Gracey Griglione.

“We knew we had to guard two of them,” Streit said. “We did a good job of laying off the other three.

We weren’t going to let them beat us. We did a good job of guarding Richardson, of guarding Griglione.”

The Roadrunners did have some quality looks in the first half, but the shots failed to tickle the twine.

“We missed some shots in the first half that we normally make,” Smith said.

“Sometimes that happens on the road.”

The Raiderettes were able to feed the ball inside effectively in the second half.

Kelcie Shields scored 14 of her 16 points after halftime.

“She had a good second half,” Streit said. “We tried to get her the ball a little more. She had the hot hand.

They couldn’t guard her.”

Both defenses controlled the fourth, with Mount Ayr scoring nine points and Interstate 35 seven.

Mount Ayr edged ahead 30-28 on a Shields threepoint play.

Interstate 35 countered with a Richardson triple.

Shields had a response for a 32-31 lead. Griglione tied it at 32 with one free throw.

They traded points once more. Keirston Klommhaus hit two free throws with 2:22 left. I-35 countered with a Cheyenne Hiatt bucket.

Interstate 35 had a couple of looks later but missed them both.

UP NEXT — Mount Ayr (13-1, 9-1) is at Wayne.

Interstate 35 (9-6, 7-3) is at Bedford.

Panther girls bowlers win home tournament Saturday CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

The Creston/Orient-Macksburg bowling team competed at home Saturday, hosting Nodaway Valley, Lenox and Mount Ayr. The Creston/O-M girls team emerged victorious among the area teams with a score of 2,236, well ahead of runner-up Lenox (2,126).

The Panther boys came up just short of Lenox for second place by 20 pins (2,146-2,126).

“It was a hot and cold day,” Creston/Orient-Macksburg coach Ron Pendegraft said. “For the boys it was a good first game with Zac Hague throwing our high game of the day with a 204. All the other boys threw solid games also putting us in a slight lead over Lenox. During the second game we cooled off and Lenox took the lead by 59 pins. During the Baker round we slowly cut away at their lead, but could not quite catch up.”

Zac Hague had boys’ high series with a 362.

The girls on the other hand, started fast and struggled a bit at the end, but still picked up the win. Three Panther girls bowled a series of 300-plus, including Livi

Hartman (359), Laura Weis (333) and Kim Orr (306).

Medal winners for the boys included Alex Brown of Nodaway Valley with sixth place and a series of 295, Logan Eaton of Mount Ayr in fifth with a series of 300, Kory Eggert of Lenox who came in fourth by bowling a series of 306, Carlos Gonzales of Lenox who was third as a result of bowling 309, Doug McClain of Lenox who bowled 311 and Hague of Creston.

The girls medalists (top 6) were Gabby Hogue of Lenox with a series of 286, Sam Trost of Lenox with a 290, Mount Ayr’s Kaitlyn Dolecheck with a 296, Orr for Creston/O-M with a 306, Weis for Creston/OM with a 333 and Hartman for the Panthers with a 359.

Dear Readers: If you’re the crafty sort and like to try your knack at projects and possibilities, look for FREE PATTERNS first. Whenever I need or want help with an idea or project I’d like to try, I go into my computer’s search engine and type in “free patterns for (name of project).”

The list of patterns, ideas and hints can be endless.

Go there first before hiring someone to do it. You will never know unless you try, and if you don’t try, you will never know! – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com INTERNET USE IN HOTELS Dear Heloise: Here’s a travel hint that I would like to share with your readers: If they use any internet programs through the hotel television, be sure to log off before checking out.

Some hotels say they will do this for you, but I say, “Better to be safe than sorry.” – Abby D. in San Anto-

FOAM-PACKAGING ISSUE Dear Heloise: My wife and I try to recycle as much as possible. Do you have any suggestion for how to recycle or what to do with large, odd-shaped foam-packaging blocks, like the kind used to pad large appliances, etc.?

If I cut them into small pieces, I create small fragments that end up blowing all over creation. I hate to just dump them in the regular trash.

Please don’t suggest planters or artsy-craftsy projects, as those are not our thing.

Thanks for any other suggestions. – Don F., Hot Springs, South Dakota Don, a noncrafty suggestion would be to try taking them back to the store where you purchased the item and see if they can recycle it for you. Surely they deal with large foam packaging when they unpack store items.

Readers, do you have any other noncrafty ideas for Don? Please write me and tell me what you do with this material, other than trashing it. – Heloise SECURING FAMILY FAVORITES Dear Heloise: My daugh-

ter lives in another city, so she’s not around much to eat some of our favorite “off the top of our head” recipes. So her aunties (my sisters and sisters-in-law) got together and created a “Family Favorite Recipe” folder on the computer. We added our favorites to this folder.

One sister organized them and sent the file to us and our young-adult children. They appreciated receiving it.

It’s now become an ongoing thing, with immediate family members sending out their “new favorites” for each of us to update.

It’s a great way to keep family favorites in the family! – Georgia Z. in San Antonio QUILT BATTING TO THE RESCUE Dear Heloise: I was in a hurry to mail a package that needed air-filled packaging or packing peanuts, but didn’t have any, so I used my quilting batting to surround the fragile gift. It worked like a charm, and I thought this might help someone else needing other ideas for packaging fragile gifts. – Corrine B., Universal City, Texas (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.
