CCHS sends 13 entries to Report: State Large Group Speech 1,700 Iowa firefighters given invalid certifications IOWA CITY (AP) — More than 1,700 Iowa firefighters and emergency responders were issued improper credentials over a four-year period due to flawed test scoring at the state fire academy, according to a report released Tuesday.

The Iowa Department of Public Safety announced that a former employee, John McPhee, was charged with felony misconduct in office and tampering with records in connection with the improper certifications.

McPhee, the state’s former

Training Service Bureau Certification and Accreditation Coordinator, turned himself in Tuesday to the Story County Sheriff’s Office in Nevada, Iowa.

McPhee and the bureau’s former chief, Randal Novak, were placed on paid administrative leave April 25. Last May, the bureau notified firefighters and emergency responders that it had discovered “errors in the scoring of various exams” during an internal audit and that a review found that many former REPORT | 2A

The Creston Community High School large group speech team entered 18 groups in Saturday’s district competition at Clarke Community High School in Osceola, with 13 of those entries receiving Division-I ratings and advancing to the state competition.

The State Large Group Speech Contest is Saturday, Feb. 4, at Valley High School in West Des Moines.

There, entries earning Division-I ratings and outstanding nominations from at least two out of the three judges advance to the AllState Festival Saturday, Feb. 18, at Iowa State University in Ames.

“There’s some groups I think definitely have some

potential toward that, but it’s definitely a gamble,” said Laura Granger, CCHS l a r g e g r o u p speech coach.

“It’s not g u a r anteed, for sure.

H o p e - Granger fully we get some kids that get that honor.”

In her second year as CCHS large group speech coach, Granger was able to enter more groups into the district contest this year thanks to having three volunteer coaches. CCHS Individual Speech Coach Danielle Dickinson also assists with the team.

Volunteer coaches this year are Kylie Haggerty, Keith Worland and Miguel

Villegas.

The team includes about 60 students participating in the 18 entry groups. The 13 entries advancing to the state competition include choral reading, reader’s theatre, two group improvs, two one-act plays, group mime, two musical theatres, radio broadcasting, two short films and ensemble acting.

“We pretty much participated in all categories,” Granger said. “The only ones we didn’t (participate in) were solo mime and TV news. Otherwise, we’ve got something in every category they offer.”

Musical theatre entries are “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Hairspray.” Choral reading is “Choral is the New Black.”

Reader’s theatre is “Murder in the Knife Room,” a murder mystery. The var-

Dow hits 20,000 following solid open for US stocks The Dow Jones industrial average crossed the 20,000 mark for the first time Wednesday, the latest milestone in a record-setting drive for the stock market. The other major U.S. stock indexes were also moving higher in morning trading, led by banks and other financial companies. Strong earnings from Boeing and other big companies drove the rally, extending gains from the day before.

Keeping score: The Dow gained 162 points, or 0.8 percent, to 20,075 as of 11:04 a.m.

Eastern Time. The Standard

& Poor’s 500 index rose 16 points, or 0.7 percent, to 2,296.

The Nasdaq composite index added 47 points, or 0.9 percent, to 5,648. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq each closed at record highs on Tuesday.

Dow milestone: The market has been marching steadily higher since bottoming out in March 2009 in the aftermath of the financial crisis.

The rally continued after the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president last fall. The Dow first closed above 10,000 on March 29, 1999.

add a freshman one-act play to the team’s entries.

“That’s exciting,” Granger said. “We have a lot of new blood and a lot of talented kids.”

Sophomore Riley Beard plays Magenta in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and Delilah in “Once Upon a Beginning.”

“I think it (districts) was a little tougher than it was last year,” Beard said. “I think the judges took it more seriously and harder on the kids. We just had to do our best.”

The team began practicing for the district competition in November right after the school musical was

done, taking a break over the Christmas break.

“My favorite part has been getting to know kids I don’t spend a lot of time with,” Beard said. “I feel like my musical theatre group has gotten really close practicing and I have made a lot of friends.”

With two weeks to prepare for the state competition, Beard said she and her teammates need to work on polishing their acts.

“We just need to make sure everybody has their lines down and make sure everyone is really certain and comfortable in what they’re doing,” she said.

Granger said she’s glad her students have the opportunity to compete at the state contest.

“I’m excited for the kids that all their hard work is

going to pay off,” Granger said. “That competition will be neat for a lot of the kids, since I would say over half of the kids on the team are first-timers.”

Beard is ready to perform at state.

“I just really want to do my best and not let my team down,” she said. “I just want to make my mom proud of me.”

academy students had failed tests they were told they had passed.

In June, the department announced it had launched a criminal investigation days after the retirement of Novak, who had served as bureau chief since 2001.

Based on the Iowa State University campus in Ames, the bureau has provided training to firefighters since 1923 and provides training courses, certification and other services.

The department released McPhee’s jail booking photo but said it didn’t have a copy of the complaint against him, which had

not yet been released in online state court records.

The county clerk of court’s office was closed Tuesday afternoon. It was not immediately clear whether McPhee, who had worked for the bureau since 1998 and resigned June 23, had an attorney. Novak was not charged.

Separately, the department released an eightpage report that said its review found nearly 2,300 certifications were improperly issued to 1,706 firefighters and emergency personnel from February 2012 through February 2016. The improper certifications accounted for nearly 25 percent of the certifications the bureau issued during that period.

The certifications aren’t

required by the state, or nationally, but many departments mandate or recommend them for employees. The agency said it was notifying the affected individuals and departments, and that the bureau would offer free training courses and test retakes beginning next month and running through June.

In a statement, Iowa Public Safety Commissioner Roxann Ryan said the problems “were addressed immediately” when they came to her attention.

“We are implementing changes in our procedures that are designed to avoid issues in the future,” she said. “The Department has implemented additional checks and balances within the FSTB, including ran-

dom reviews of processes and third-party, off-site scoring to ensure accurate scoring of all testing at our FSTB. The efforts had begun before these incidents were discovered, and we have redoubled our efforts in the past year.”

The department said it had also lost full accreditation from the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications and the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress, and that it was taking steps to meet to be recognized by those agencies.

The improper certifications were issued to firefighters and other workers, such as employees who specialize in hazardous materials operations.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, January 25, 2017

Thoughts on Iowa school report card Recently the Iowa Department of Education released updated information through the Iowa Schools Report Card at http:// reports.educateiowa.gov/schoolreportcard. Our Creston Community High School scored very well on this set of measurements.

Our elementary and middle school scores include high points and low points, showing room for improvement in certain specific areas. Ultimately, we want our students to graduate from high school ready to further their educations in whatever way each chooses, to make a living, to contribute to the world and to live enriched lives. The instruction and learning from preschool all the way through the senior year of high school accumulates and

From the desk of Steve McDermott CCSD Superintendent

contributes in a large part to an individual’s life beyond school.

The report card approach has been chosen by government leaders to openly hold schools accountable and to compare schools. A major byproduct of this method is direct competition between and among schools.

Over the years, we have learned there are benefits and drawbacks to competition especially in education, but we certainly embrace the challenge.

I’ve often wondered what it

would look like if we openly evaluated other governmental agencies, bureaus and departments and publicly shared their report cards. Report cards for legislative effectiveness, governmental leadership on all levels, law enforcement, health care, mental health care, social services, armed forces, natural resources, etc. would be interesting to say the least. Clearly the levels of responsibility vary from one organization to another. Some folks that serve in a few of the general groups mentioned are “evaluated’ on a life-anddeath basis every day and their inclusion on the list is not meant to minimize their commitments or sacrifices. Because of this and other numerous factors, we

can never directly compare one group to another. Each is, however, competing for funding.

The truth is, we all have room to improve in every aspect of our personal and professional lives.

The work of those of us that serve the public in “government jobs” funded by tax payers is, at times, under public scrutiny and that’s part of the territory. Our performance associated with our responsibilities and what is generally expected of us absolutely should be monitored somehow.

We may question the validity of the way our performance in schools is evaluated (standardized, bubble-sheet student tests), but accountability is and should be expected. Like it or not, our scores belong to us. We must take

responsibility, learn what we can from recent ratings, and continue to dig in and do our best each day to serve the learning needs of our local girls and boys. In other competitive settings, if you do the right things consistently every day, the wins and losses take care of themselves. In our schools, if we are using effective methods of instruction and truly serving each individual student’s unique learning needs, then the report card scores will take care of themselves, as well.

As a school district and as a community, we accept the challenge of high expectations for student learning and we are up to the challenge. We are all in this together!

HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Johnny Manziel advised Trump Monday to stay away from the notifications section on Twitter because it will drive him crazy. He said just Manziel lead the country and let the haters hate. The Book of Revelation clearly states the first sign of the Apocalypse is that Johnny Manziel is the voice of reason.

The New York Post reports that Barack and Michelle Obama are likely to live in LA after their younger daughter graduates from school next year. He needs to start earning fast. I just found a house in Los Angeles that I can afford but I’m not sure it’s legal to buy it from a German Shepherd.

The White House acknowledged Friday that Donald Trump’s Inauguration featured the most number of prayers delivered at an Inaugural ceremony in U.S. history. This is no laughing matter. The prayers were delivered by a priest, three preachers and a rabbi, and they don’t even go into a bar.

Pope Francis ripped President Trump in a sermon Sunday for planning to build a border wall. The pope is guarded by a 40-foot-high Vatican City wall, the Vatican Guards, armed security agents, the Rome police and the Italian Army. It’s the most protection a Catholic’s ever used.

President Trump signed executive orders and he met with

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

business and labor leaders Monday and set a Thursday meeting with Britain’s prime minister. It was his first full working day.

Democrats can’t figure out if this was the worst day they ever had or the best Twilight Zone episode they ever saw.

Madonna told the women’s protest in Washington Saturday that she’s considering blowing up the White House. We’re off the rails. Madonna and Charles Manson recently settled an argument they were having about who was worse, Nixon or Trump, by agreeing that reasonable minds can differ.

University of Maryland scientists conducted an extensive investigation into the chemical composition differences between men and women. They discovered a chemical inside women’s brains which causes them to talk three times more than men talk. That chemical is called a margarita.

President Trump will give British Prime Minister Theresa May a walking tour of White House g r o u n d s Thursday. As well, Queen Elizabeth will walk with Trump as he May plays her ninehole course at Balmoral Castle in August.

It took a few days to find two

women willing to walk in favor of Trump.

The National Retail Federation said Americans will spend a record $20 billion this Valentine’s Day. A computer engineer in Los Angeles just created a dating website exclusively for Trump supporters. It’s the perfect place for angry white men to hook up with Baptist preacher’s wives.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was asked by reporters Saturday about the apparent lack of cabinet diversity. Sean vowed the Trump Administration will be one of the most diverse administrations in history.

Sean clarified his statement Monday, saying he meant Confederate history.

The Oakland Raiders filed papers Friday to move the team to Las Vegas in two years. This will require some adjustment time.

When they last played an NFL exhibition game in Las Vegas, six players were flagged for excessive celebration, and that was between the airport and the practice field.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Monday that a college in Pennsylvania is offering a new course called Is God a White Supremacist? This is a theological debate where it’s easy for conceit to overwhelm humility. I’m the first to admit that I’m not God, I’m Anglo-Saxon, it’s the next best thing.

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the German legislature in Berlin is set to pass a law making Germany the next country in Europe to legalize marijuana. They’re a little late. If smoking pot had been legal in Germany back in 1939, Hitler would only have invaded the refrigerator.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Pasta problem: Why so much water?

HOROSCOPE For Thursday, Jan. 26, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)Dealings with bosses, VIPs and parents are unpredictable today. If you are upset by what they say, don’t quit your day job. Give things a sober second thought.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Travel plans will be delayed, canceled or subject to detours and changes. Likewise, publishing, the media, medicine and the law are subject to sudden changes.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Double-check bank accounts and important agreements, because something to do with inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt might throw you for a loop.

Know what’s happening.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A friend or partner will throw you a curveball today. He or she might want more independence in the relationship. This person also might make a weird accusation!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your job’s routine will be interrupted today. Staff shortages, equipment breakdowns, computer problems, delivery delays or other unexpected situations will force you to deal with surprises.

Be cool.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is an accident-prone day for your kids, so be vigilant. Know where they are at all times. Be careful to remove potentially hazardous equipment or items around them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Something unpredictable will affect your home or family today. It may be an argument, or a minor breakage could occur.

Someone might have surprising news. It will be something.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Be careful today and take your time so that you are mindful and aware, because this is an accident-prone day for you. Think before you speak, and think before you act.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Keep an eye on your finances today, because something unexpected will affect them. You might find money, or you might lose money.

Something you own might be lost, stolen or damaged.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today you feel impulsive and rebellious. Even though you usually are cautious and careful, today you might shock someone with a sudden decision or action.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)You feel restless today. You feel as if you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. You might be agitated

because of changes taking place in other people’s lives around you.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)A friend might surprise you today.

Something unexpected will take place with someone you know, perhaps in a group setting.

YOU BORN TODAY You are bold, energetic and confident.

You have ideals, but you also can be rebellious. You are a free thinker who is unconven-

tional. A new nine-year cycle will begin for you this year. It will open up many possibilities!

You might start a new business or change residences. Open any door, because your future is in your hands.

Dear Heloise: Why do all the PASTA RECIPES begin with the directions “Bring a large pot of 4 to 6 quarts of water to a rapid boil”? Do we really need to use that much water, and if so, why?

– Samantha T. in New York Yes, especially if making a pound or more of pasta.

One reason is that it helps keep the pasta from sticking together while cooking. It provides lots of room for the pasta to move around while washing away the starch from the pasta. The other reason is, if cooking larger, longer pastas like spaghetti and fettuccine, a lot of water is needed. Or I break them in half before putting them in the pot. I know! Sacrilege! Also, it’s easier to eat, I think.

Small amounts of pasta can be made in a smaller pot with less water, but why not go the safe route for the perfect pasta? – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 210-HELOISE

Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com FLAVORED OILS Dear Heloise: I save oil from jars of minced garlic, roasted red peppers, marinated artichoke hearts and other similar items in the refrigerator. When I need a quick appetizer, I drizzle the flavored oils over cream cheese to create a cracker topping that is unique and delicious! There are so many options, and I am never disappointed with the taste. – Gayle F., Knoxville, Tenn.

STALE CAKE Dear Heloise: I love to bake cakes, but find that many times, after slicing a piece off the cake, it quickly gets hard and stale where the cut was made. Do you have a hint to prevent this from happening in the future? – Kim B., via email Sure do! When you have cut the last slice, take a piece of wax or parchment paper and place it over the sliced areas. Each time you remove a slice, continue resealing the cut area with the paper.

This will help keep the cake stay fresher longer. – Heloise

HOLD TOGETHER Dear Heloise: If you enjoy eating tacos, you also know that with the first bite, the taco shell can break, and all the fillings can come out. But I have a hint to keep those fillings in place. When making the taco, start by placing a piece of lettuce inside the taco shell. Next, add all the other taco fillings on top of the lettuce. If the shell breaks, chances are the lettuce will stay intact and keep the fillings from falling out. – Jerry W. in California Jerry, brilliant! Living in San Antonio, crispy tacos are a mainstay, and sometimes a mess. Big taco hug! – Heloise ROASTING CHICKEN Dear Heloise: I don’t have a fancy, vertical roasting pan for cooking whole chickens.

Instead, I use my fluted cake pan. I spray it with oil and sit the chicken upright using the centerpiece inside the chicken to hold it up. Most of the juices collect in the pan ring. But I place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet, just in case. – Kathleen P., Louisville, Ky. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

LENOX — Another Tuesday night in the Pride of Iowa, another barn burner that will reside in the minds of locals in the years to come as the East Union boys went on the road and defeated Lenox in overtime 61-59.

When all was said and done, four of Lenox’s best players had fouled out. Freshmen were asked to make plays in big moments for the Tigers.

The experience of the Eagles won out as East Union made the needed defensive stops.

“Tonight, more people looked to be aggressive offensively and that can only help us down the road,” East Union coach Matt Brown said.

“Defensively was really where they all shined. We’ve been preaching all year to get help side sooner and to-

night they’d sprint to the help side every time.”

Trailing 33-20 early in the third quarter, Lenox’s Kaleb Anderson went into what some basketball fans might call “Kobe-mode.”

Anderson hit a pull-up 3-pointer, a shot in the lane, a step-back trey and a fade away corner three all in a very short span. Dawson Tullberg and Sam Donaldson, feeding off of Anderson’s energy, hit buckets of their own.

With the third quarter clock running down, Anderson hit a running one-handed triple as the buzzer sounded. That capped a 19-0 run all BOYS | 0A CNA photo by KALEB CARTER

Successful senior night C/O-M wrestling celebrates milestones in only home dual of year

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

It was a night of celebration Tuesday at Panther Gym for the Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s wrestling team.

This season’s seven seniors were honored. The Express Wrestling Club was introduced and honored for another successful season.

The most prestigious honor was saved for last.

Panthers coach Darrell Frain was honored with recently earning career dual win 300 by this year’s team and a large group of alums.

Panther Nation rose as one to celebrate the coach who has turned a solid, respectable program into one of the state’s elite.

Frain added two more duals wins to the tally as Creston/Orient-Macksburg overwhelmed both Harlan and Lewis Central.

The Panthers opened with a 50-19 win over Lewis Central and capped the night with a 56-12 thrashing of Harlan.

Former Creston/O-M assistant Hemann enjoys trip back to area ■ Hemann’s current team

snapped Panthers win streak at John J. Harris Tournament CORNING —New Hampton wrestling coach Nick Hemann recalled what its like to be a part of a winning tournament team at the John J. Harris Invitational wrestling tournament when he was an assistant at Creston/Orient-Macksburg in the early and mid 2000s.

This time, he was doing it for the team he’s leading.

Hemann’s powerhouse New Hampton squad won the 62nd annual event last weekend.

The Class 2A top-ranked Chickasaws won with 263 points. Atlantic was second with 211 points.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg was third with 207.5 points.

Hemann’s squad crowned five champions and had 13 of 14 wres-

tlers place.

New Hampton snapped Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s five-year run as champions at the John J. Harris Invitation.

“I was a part of some of those streaks when I was down here,” Hemann said.

Hemann expected a stiff test from his former team.

“We know what kind of program they have, know what kind of coach coach Frain is,” Hemann said.

What he learned under Frain has been a model for his own program in Northeast Iowa.

“A lot of what we do is what they do,” Hemann said. “We’ve adapted a little bit, but a lot of it is straight from coach Frain’s book.”

Some of the practices, drills that Creston/Orient-Macksburg does is what New Hampton does.

“The majority of what they do is when we went to those granby camps, learned the essence and art of drilling,” Hemann said. “We didn’t do a lot of live wrestling until after Thanksgiving, then it’s go time for the competition schedule.

We definitely have the same philosophy. It’s worked for us. We do two-a-days, structure them like he used to. It’s the same thing.”

This year’s New Hampton team has depth up and down the lineup, similar to what Creston/Orient-Macksburg has had in previous years.

“What we’re looking for is team depth like what I had when

I was here, like the powerhouse they had last year,” Hemann said.

“They’ve won them (state titles) when they’ve had the horses individually. They definitely have those.”

For New Hampton, the four hour trip, complete with an overnight hotel stay, is similar to what they’ll have in a month when the state tournament rolls around at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

“It’s preparing us for Des Moines,” Hemann said.

The Chickasaws battled with both the Class 2A third-ranked Panthers, fourth-ranked Trojans and Class 1A second-ranked Missouri Valley for the team title.

Hemann expects a similar tussle between his team, Creston/ Orient-Macksburg and Atlantic at Wells Fargo Arena.

“We’ll be battle with them in three weeks, probably at state du-

als, hopefully at the state tournament,” Hemann said.

The quality of wrestling made the long drive worthwhile for New Hampton.

“There’s good matches,” Hemann said. “People got their money’s worth.”

For Hemann, it was an opportunity to catch up with some former students he taught at the elementary school, such as Trevor Marlin and one of the cheerleaders as well as former fellow teachers.

While the trip is long from Chickasaw County — located 45 minutes north of Waterloo — it’s enjoyable for Hemann.

“I really enjoy it,” Hemann said.

“I like to get back, meet up with friends, with coach Frain.

“It’s well worth it.”

Lenox grinds out home win over East Union

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

LENOX — In a game that featured 60 fouls, 75 free throws, and an unfath-

COM: CONT. FROM | 8A

seniors dominated in their final regular season appearance at Panther Gym. Chase Shiltz, Kadon Hulett and Jacob Goodson each picked up two bonus point wins.

Cody Tanner had a decision win and a win by pin. Trevor Marlin had a decision win and a major decision win. Jackson Mikkelsen had two wins by forfeit. Carson Wheat, who did not wrestle in the dual against Lewis Central, picked up a win by pin against Harlan.

Wrestling at home in front of huge crowd was something the team savored.

“I loved having all the fans, being home,” said senior Trevor Marlin.

Seeing former alums such as Collin Bevins among many others made the night special for the team.

“Having the gym packed with all the alumni, I hadn’t seen them in awhile,” Marlin said. “It was good to see the old teams.”

Finally wrestling at home was a sweet relief for the

omable amount of whistles, the Lenox girls basketball team ended a 10-game losing streak with a 68-56 take down of East Union Tuesday in POI play.

Both scoring marks repteam.

“It took long enough,” Marlin said. “It was fun to finally get back home.”

The two-mat setup, designed to speed the evening along, did disappoint some of the seniors, who had prepared introductory music to come out to, but could not use it in the two mat format.

“I was kind of upset we didn’t get to do our walkout songs,” said senior Cody Tanner. “It was alright.”

The two-mat setup wasn’t what Frain wanted.

“I would’ve liked to have a little better show, have a single mat, let the music play,” Frain said. “It went well for us.”

The evening’s most exciting match came from a Panther junior.

Kelby Luther used every bit of strength he had in the final 30 second tiebreaker to knock off Lewis Central’s Brandon Weiland 5-4.

Luther fought off Weiland’s attempts to escape from the bottom position.

“I just went to an ankle, thought I could get a leg hold on him, stop that granby,” Luther said. “I had to keep

resent season-highs for each team.

“We waited a long time.

They’ve played really hard all year and they deserved to win,” Lenox coach Clay Nelson said. “They shot the

ball well tonight. Everybody.”

The Tigers shot the ball better than they had in a game all year. Lenox jumped out to a 19-4 lead, with baskets coming from

a multitude of players. Lenox stretched the lead to 19, 28-9, when Morgan Parrish nailed a long jumper and a 3-pointer.

Parrish was especially successful from the floor,

scoring a season-high 22 points.

him under control, stop him from doing those granbys.”

Luther survived three restarts in the final 30 seconds to keep Weiland from escaping.

“That’s where you get beat is those fresh starts,” Frain said. “He got them all three times. That was good for him.”

Working from the top po-

sition is not usually a position of strength for the Panthers.

Luther made it work.

“We’re not typically a great riding team in the first place,” Frain said.

Luther’s drive allowed him to win the match.

“He put himself in bad spots. He fought off,” Frain said. “That’s what we’re talking about in the room

— no matter what, you just keep fighting. He kept fighting.”

The Lady Mustangs advanced to the semifinals with a pair of wins Saturday and Monday.

Monday: Murray 42, Lamoni 29 On Monday, Murray used a strong third quarter to bounce Lamoni 42-29.

The Lady Mustangs outscored the Demons 15-4 in the third.

“We did a lot better job in the third quarter,” said Murray coach J e r r y Shields.

Lamoni led led 10-8 after Otto the first quarter and 20-19 at halftime.

“We came out very sluggish in the first half,” Shields said.

Murray’s defense stiffened in the second half.

The Lady Mustangs allowed only nine points in outscoring the Demons 23-9.

“We did a good job defensively in the second half,” Shields said.

Katie Otto had 12 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Zadie Hatfield had nine points and four rebounds. Kayla Wookey had eight points, four rebounds and six assists. Bre Klein added six points.

Halee Wallace and Katelyn Belding combined for Lenox’s first six points of the second half. Parrish hit two more buckets to give East Union a 42-30 halfway through the third.

East Union responded with seven straight points of its own.

Five free throws combined for Gossman and Olivia Eckels pulled East Union within four, 45-41, to end the third.

in the span of about six minutes.

“I didn’t draw anything up special for Kaleb, he just got hot,” Lenox coach Jesse Cox said.

Kyle Campbell, who held Anderson to three points in the first half, couldn’t do much to stop Anderson when he got on his hot streak.

“Kyle worked his tail off,” Brown said. “That Anderson kid is a heck of an assignment. He can absolutely let her fly, and Kyle did a nice job.”

Casey Walter got East Union on the board again with a free throw early in the fourth and Mason Gossman hit two baskets to swing momentum back to the Eagles if only for a moment. East Union trailed just 39-38.

The two traded blows down to the very end of regulation.

Missed free throws hurt both team’s chances to secure control in the waning minutes.

East Union trailed 50-45 with about a minute remaining, and rather than hoist up long three’s, the Eagles attacked.

“The risk in that situation is for us to try and settle for outside jumpers to try and match what they’ve done,” Brown said. “Instead of that, they pulled up their shoes and went to the rim. Got to the foul line and played aggressively. That’s what it

the fourth quarter were the critical stretch of the game.

In that time, Jacy Stoaks hit four free throws. Kayla Yzaguirre hit a free throw and an elbow jumper to put Lenox up 54-48. Another Parrish three put Lenox on top 11 and effectively sealed the deal.

“Every time we’d cut it down they’d make some free throws or get a shot or we’d have a defensive lapse for a second,” Cooley said.

Stoaks hit four more free throws in the last four minutes of the game on her way to 18 points.

Lenox ended the night 22of-37 on free throws.

East Union shot 17-of-38 from the charity stripe.

East Union was led by McFee and Eckels’ 17 points apiece. Gossman added 9.

Parrish and Stoaks led the takes to get wins is aggressive play.”

Down two points in the final 20 seconds, and with Casey Walter having fouled out just moments before, a loose ball tie-up on an East Union possession went back to the Eagles.

The hustle-and-bustle season has passed, but the giving has not. During December, Creston FFA sponsored a Santa Can giving-drive with the goal to collect 500 personal care items for the Creston Area Food Pantry and O’Riley Center. The Santa Can project began Dec. 1 and ended the day students got out for winter break.

During the Santa Can project, Creston FFA members encouraged students in seminars to give items such as soap, shampoo, lotion, deodorant and others that are not usually donated to the food pantry. On the return to school in January, Creston FFA members delivered nearly 500 personal care items to the food pantry, just missing their goal by a few items.

The National FFA Organization embraces the idea of giving back to the communities and so, too, does the

First National Bank in Creston and Afton will once again be a champion for Data Privacy Day – an international effort held annually on Jan. 28 to create awareness about the importance of respecting privacy, safeguarding data and enabling trust.

That said, today, First National Bank challenges everyone to check the security and privacy settings on at least one site like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Amazon or Pandora and set them to a comfortable level. To make this task easier, visit https://staysafeonline.org/data-privacy-day/check-your-privacy-settings.

First National Bank also reminds everyone to be wary of any communications sent out asking for immediate actions, offers something that sounds too good to be true or asks for personal information.

“Cybercriminals have become quite savvy in their attempts to lure people into giving them personal information over the phone or by baiting them to click on a harmful link on social media or through email,” said Randy Huewe, president of First National Bank.

“If you get these t y p e s of communica- Huewe tions, be cautious and never give out any information until you can confirm the source.”

Everyone can also keep information safe by having the most up-to-date security software, web browser and operating systems. Staying prompt in these updates will give everyone the best defense against viruses, malware and other online threats.

At First National Bank, employees offer a security software called Trusteer that can be downloaded free of charge through the website. This software picks up where conventional security software fails and helps protect and mitigate financial malware infections from getting on a computer.
