Spare to give plea in February

By BAILEY POOLMAN CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Donna Jo Spare will give a plea during a scheduled plea hearing 10 a.m. Feb. 24 at Union County Courthouse. Spare was charged on a Union County warrant for homicide by vehicle, a class B felony, in August.

According to Union County Attorney Tim Kenyon, the plea date “presses the hold button” on the proceedings. After a pretrial conference held Friday, instead of continuing with the original trial date scheduled for Feb. 27, the plea date was scheduled. What happens next is determined by the plea Spare will give.

“At this time, at this point, a guilty plea is expected or anticipated on Feb. 24,” Kenyon said.

Spare, 61, of Afton was charged in August after an investigation lasting approximately eight months. According to a Union County Sheriff report, at about 9:15 p.m. Jan. 16, 2016, Spare was driving a 2001 Chevrolet on Highway 34 east of Creston. Near the intersection of Highway 34 and Jaguar Avenue, Spare crossed over the center line into the westbound lane of traffic.

Spare’s vehicle struck a vehicle operated by Deanne Lee Hoffman.

Hoffman died as a result of injuries sustained in the collision.

Subsequent investigation

by Iowa State Highway Patrol officers indicated the blood alcohol concentration of Spare was in excess of .08 at the time of the collision.

Spare was released on $25,000 bond.

Need for SPEED Mediacom’s newest internet service affects Creston ■

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

Earlier this month, Mediacom announced it was providing 1-gigabyte internet speeds across the state of Iowa, making Iowa the first state in the nation to make those broadband speeds available statewide.

The 1-Gig speeds are a result of a $1 billion investment by Mediacom to transform existing infrastructure with new innovations in broadband network technology.

Mediacom’s 5,124 miles of fiber optics powering Iowa’s broadband network across the state has made it possible to provide the 1-Gig internet to all 309 Iowa communities Mediacom serves.

More than 1 million Iowa homes will be able to take advantage of the 1-Gig internet speeds in a residential package.

“This affects residents in Creston,” City Administrator Mike Taylor said.

“It could be a great asset for people who want to live in southwest Iowa and tele- Taylor commute

with employers in Omaha, Kansas City or anywhere across the globe.”

The 1-Gig internet service allows residential customers to take advantage of download speeds up to 1,000 megabytes per second (Mbps) and upload speeds of up to 50 Mbps, while also including a data usage allowance of 6 terabytes.

For example, a 2-hour, high-definition movie at 3 gigabytes could download in 28 seconds with the 1-Gig internet speed compared to more than 1 hour with standard 7 Mbps DSL connection.

“The reason a family in Creston or Mount Ayr would want this internet is if they want to telecommute,” said Phyllis Peters, communications director

for Mediacom. “I know several people in Audubon telecommute to companies that are in Omaha. When Mediacom introduced 100 megabit speed in 2010, that was a game changer for those people. That was 105 megabits speed. Now, we’re seven years further and 10 times faster in speed.”

Peters said a typical American household now has seven to 10 devices connected to the internet.

That means customers need more bandwidth and have more need for speed when it comes to their internet.

“We wanted to be ahead of that demand to be sure Iowans don’t have to wait,” Peters said. “If you have SPEED | 2A

Man who rescued burning US flag from protest keeps his job IOWA CITY (AP) — The man who disrupted a flag-burning protest in Iowa City with a fire extinguisher last week won’t lose his job.

FedEx said Saturday in a statement that Matt Uhrin would continue working as a driver.

The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports pictures and video of Uhrin rescuing a U.S. flag Thursday spread quickly on the internet, and he was wearing his FedEx uniform at the time.

Some, including prominent conservative commentators, praised Uhrin’s actions, but others criticized him. Uhrin has declined the newspaper’s request for comment.

He used his extinguisher to retrieve one flag from the protesters and walk away. But he wasn’t successful in stopping the protesters from burning a second flag amid some pushing and shoving.

“FedEx has reviewed the matter in Iowa City involving our driver Matt Uhrin,” the company said in a statement. “Mr. Uhrin remains a FedEx Express employee, and we have no plans to change his status.”

Two of the protesters were ticketed for failing to obtain a permit for an open burn in violation of city rules. That misdemeanor offense is punishable by a fine up to $625 or up to 30 days in jail.

about searching for terrorists before they can enter the country,” Trump wrote in a series of early morning tweets. “This was a big part of my campaign. Study the world!”

In another tweet, Trump defended his decision to take swift action on his prop o s e d travel ban, s a y i n g Trump there are “a lot of bad ‘dudes’ out there.”

“If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the ‘bad’ would rush into our country during that week,” Trump said.

Trump’s order temporarily suspends all immigration for citizens of seven majority Muslim countries for 90 days.

But he enters his second week in office amid a global backlash to his policies. European Union officials denounced his immigration order as a dangerous embrace of isolationism and inequality, while the international aid group Doctors Without Borders accused Trump of keeping people “trapped in war zones, directly endangering their lives.”

In Iraq, two lawmakers there said the Iraqi parliament has approved a “reciprocity measure” restricting the entry of Americans into Iraq.

Meanwhile, it’s unclear how Trump’s order would make the nation safer. The

But with Mediacom wanting to be ahead of the curve in the residential sector, the company decided to make those internet speeds available to residential consumers.

Along with the 1-Gig internet speed now available to residential customers, Mediacom also added a 500Mbps internet speed. Now, the company’s offerings are streamlined to 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps, 500 Mbps and 1-Gig. Peters said it was important for Mediacom to make these internet speeds avail-

able to Iowans first.

“Iowa is a state where 1/3 of our customers and 1/3 of our employees live, and an even greater proportion of our company’s investment is made here,” Peters said.

“It’s the kind of market our company was founded to serve.”

With the cable company’s infrastructure already in place, when the time comes that speeds need to be increased again, it will be a seamless transition for Mediacom.

“When it’s ready to be 2 gigs or 5 gigs, it can be faster

without having to dig anything up, without having to go in and lay new lines,” Peters said. “It’s a very incredible technology that we’re very proud to have and showcase in Iowa. If your family is in Creston, it’s there and ready for when we are doing the next new thing.”

The 1-Gig internet service reaches Creston, Bedford, Mount Ayr, Kellerton, Corning, Greenfield and Osceola, among the 309 Iowa communities it reaches.

order does not address homegrown extremists already in America, a primary concern of federal law enforcement officials. And the list of countries in Trump’s order doesn’t include Saudi Arabia, where most of the Sept. 11 hijackers were from.

The president tweeted early Monday that only 109 out of 325,000 “were detained and held for questioning” following his executive order to bar individuals from seven Muslim-majority countries. The Homeland Security Department has used 325,000 as the number of international air travelers who arrive every day to the U.S. “Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage, protesters and the tears of Senator Schumer,” he added.

Trump was referring to a Delta systems outage Sunday night that led to departure delays and cancellations of at least 150 Delta flights. However, the chaos started Saturday as protesters packed some of the country’s major airports to demonstrate against the executive order.

Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer tweeted Friday that “Tears are running down the cheeks of the Statue of Liberty” over the ban.

Trump has defended his order by saying it’s not a “Muslim ban.”

In a background call with reporters Sunday, a senior administration official declared the order’s implementation “a massive success story,” claiming it had been done “seamlessly and with extraordinary professionalism.”

Yet there appeared to

be widespread confusion among authorities tasked with carrying out the order and how it would be applied to certain groups, like U.S. legal permanent residents.

Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly issued a statement Sunday saying that, absent information indicating a serious threat to public safety and welfare, residency would be a “dispositive factor in our caseby-case determination.”

That means citizens of the seven countries who hold permanent U.S. residency “green cards” will not be barred from re-entering the U.S., as officials had previously said. It remains unclear what kind of additional screening they will now face.

“You have an extreme vetting proposal that didn’t get the vetting it should have had,” said Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who urged the new president to “slow down” and work with lawmakers on how best to tighten screening for foreigners who enter the United States.

“In my view, we ought to all take a deep breath and come up with something that makes sense for our national security and reflects the fact that America’s always been a welcoming home for refugees and immigrants,” he said.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Monday morning defended the closed-mouth discussions that preceded Friday’s announcement, saying that “I think there are some people who might not like the way it was done, but they were all consulted in the process.”

Interviewed on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Spicer said officials put the safety of the

American people first and said officials didn’t want to “telegraph” what they were going to do. He acknowledged “the secret way we had to roll this out” and said that it was because of “security reasons.”

A federal judge in New York has issued an emergency order temporarily barring the U.S. from deporting people from the seven majority Muslim nations subject to Trump’s 90-day travel ban.

The order barred U.S. border agents from removing anyone who arrived in the U.S. with a valid visa from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. It also covered anyone with an approved refugee application.

The Department of Homeland Security said Sunday the court ruling would not affect the overall implementation of the White House order.

Several Democrats in Congress said they would be introducing legislation to stop the ban.

Settlement rescinds firing of Iowa State counseling director AMES (AP) — Iowa State University has agreed to rescind the 2015 firing of its longtime student counseling director, who alleged he was let go after warning about potentially dangerous shortages in mental health services on campus.

ISU President Steven Leath signed an agreement this month changing Terry Mason’s dismissal to a retirement, making Mason eligible for medical benefits and a $2,000 payout for unused sick leave. Mason, 61, agreed to drop his complaint accusing

the school of whistleblower retaliation, defamation and age discrimination and not pursue any lawsuits.

Mason was appointed director of the ISU Student Counseling Service in 1993 and was later named an assistant vice president.

He was fired in July 2015 by then-Vice President for Student Affairs Thomas Hill.

In a complaint filed with the State Appeal Board, Mason said he warned in 2012 that Iowa State’s student counseling center

Satyrus Jeering’s ‘The Nitch’ playing in Corning CORNING – Humanities Iowa, in association with Iowa Business Growth, presents Satyrus Jeering’s debut touring performance of “The Nitch” to be joined by multiple artistic acts in a variety-style show heralding a return to the era of vaudeville theater circuits in Iowa.

Feb. 4 will be a performance at the Corning Opera House in Corning.

Vaudeville is a theatrical genre of variety entertainment. It was especially popular in the United States and Canada from the early 1880s until the early 1930s.

A typical vaudeville performance is made up of a series of separate, unrelated acts grouped together on a common bill. Types of acts have included popular and classical musicians, singers, dancers, comedians, trained animals, magicians, impersonators, acrobats, illustrated songs, jugglers, one-act plays or scenes for plays, athletes, lecturing celebrities, minstrels and movies.

A visual variety of veritable feats, based on the acclaimed children’s fantasy book, is Jeering’s “The Nitch.” A wildly raucous theatrical event, book-telling cohort of three masked players continually work to thwart each other’s attempt at reading the book to the audience. Throughout their bumbling attempt at sharing “The Nitch,” a myriad of comedic scenarios unfold in a pie-flying spectacle of literary buffoonery.

Witness fantastical flights on the tour by Iowa Fly Girl, Felicia Coe. Coe is Iowa’s premier aerial instructor, having established and operated Iowa’s first aerial teaching program in 2012, making her the state’s first aerial coach. She has produced more than 50 shows

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your work routine will be interrupted today. Expect computer glitches, power failures, equipment breakdowns, staff shortages and sur-

prising news. Allow extra time so that you can deal with the unexpected.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)This is an accident-prone day for your kids, so be vigilant. Meanwhile, social plans might be canceled or changed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Something will create havoc in your home routine today. Small appliances might break down, or minor breakages could occur.

because today is a crapshoot.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)You feel restless today because there are so many strange vibes in the air. People are unpredictable. Your plans are unpredictable. Today is unpredictable.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might meet a real character today, or perhaps someone you already know will say or do something that amazes you. Stay light on your feet so that you can go with the flow.

YOU BORN TODAY You have many talents, which is why you might be viewed as eccentric. You are intelligent and purposeful.

During the next three years, you will experience a time of culmination, success and financial accumulation. That’s why it is wise to settle your debts this year. This also is a social year that deals with the results of last year’s changes.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about online recipes. – Heloise “I often find recipes online. My pet peeve is people who write reviews when they’ve NOT tried the recipe.

“For example: ‘Looks good. I just might try it someday.’ I also don’t like it when people change every single ingredient and write a review of that OTHER recipe that they made up, and not the original one that’s posted online.” – Gwen in Arkansas FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are some other uses for extra pillowcases: * Place one inside another and stuff with items going to thrift stores instead of using boxes or large plastic bags. * Place over small plants during cold weather to protect them. * Cover decorative pillows before using them for other things besides decoration. * Place on the back of padded chairs to protect from food and stains. * Cut a small hole in the center and place over your hanging clothes for protection. – Heloise BLOODSTAIN

REMOVAL Dear Heloise: What is the best rule of thumb for removing bloodstains? My son occasionally has nosebleeds.

I’d like to give him a good hint for removing blood from his clothes and prevent permanent stains on some of his favorite clothes. – Patsy H., via email Patsy, blood is a protein stain, as opposed to grease, oil and other nonfood stains.

Because it’s a protein stain, he needs to get cold water on it as quickly as possible before he washes it. Unfortunately, children and stains seem to go hand in hand.

Sometimes they’re identifiable, but sometimes even the child has no idea what it could be. For that and many more reasons, I’ve collected my best hints for removing all kinds of stains in a handy pamphlet appropriately titled Heloise’s Handy Stain Guide for Clothing. If you’d like to order one, visit www.

Heloise.com, or send $5, along with a long, self-addressed (68 cents), stamped envelope, to: Heloise/Stain Guide, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Teaching children how to get a jump on common stains

definitely will help when you get down to washing them out! – Heloise TEACH THEM WELL Dear Heloise: I recently asked my grandchildren if they could tell the difference between hard-boiled and raw eggs, and surprisingly, they could not.

So I grabbed one of each from the refrigerator and gave a “set” to each child. I asked them to roll each one and observe what happens.

Long story short, they now know how to tell if an egg is hard-boiled or raw. It was a great teachable moment! – Teresa P., via email NOZZLE PROBLEM Dear Heloise: I have a problem with the small rotating nozzle on a spray bottle of cleaner. The “on/off” or “spray” word is in the same color as the plastic end and is hard to read. – Judy G., via email Judy, consider taking permanent colored markers or nail polish and marking the different sections. Or try coloring over the letters and then rubbing them so that the marker or nail polish outlines the letters. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Southwestern men survive OT thriller Spartans still perfect after making big plays late in extra session

■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

ESTHERVILLE — Opposing teams going into the Christensen Activity Center at Iowa Lakes Community College have not had much success in recent seasons.

T h e Lakers have won approximately 88 percent of their h o m e g a m e s Maddred in that stretch. Among them was wins over Southwestern Community College the past two seasons.

While it certainly was difficult at times, the NJCAA Division II top-ranked Spartans came up with critical plays at the right moments.

Southwestern stayed per-

fect with a thrilling 96-95 overtime win Saturday in Iowa Community College Athletic Conference play.

The Spartans improved to 21-0 overall and 4-0 in the ICCAC. Jamil Maddred made one of two free throws with four seconds in overtime to give the Spartans a 96-92 lead.

Iowa Lakes hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer for the final margin.

“The guys made good plays down the stretch to pull it out,” said Southwestern coach Todd Lorensen.

Both teams traded blows late in regulation and in

overtime.

Southwestern finally came up with a couple of key defensive stops, matched with buckets on the offense end to take control late in overtime.

“It definitely was a possession-by-possession game from five minutes left in regulation on,” Lorensen said.

“Both teams have good players and made good plays there in overtime.”

Southwestern made five straight free throws in the final 30 seconds of overtime to pull ahead. Jordan Johnson hit three in a row, while Lavon Hightower made two

more.

“We made big plays as far as free throws go,” Lorensen said. “We sealed the deal.”

Southwestern took Iowa Lakes’ best challenge and found a way to win in a difficult environment on the road.

“In retrospect, this was really good for us to help us grow and develop,” Lorensen said. “We went through it, survived it. We made some mistakes along the way and survived them.

PREP WRESTLING

Upper weights carry Panthers Mikkelsen wins thriller at 195, Shiltz joins rare group with fourth title

■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

CARROLL — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg’s upper weight wrestlers feed off each other.

Starting with Chase Shiltz at 182 pounds and going through Kadon Hulett at 220, even up to Cody Tanner at 285, the Panthers have a core that’s tough to knock down.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg used a triple threat combination to dominate the upper weights at Saturday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference wrestling tournament.

The Panthers won three straight titles from 182 through 220 leading to a runner-up finish at the meet hosted by Kuemper Catholic.

“It adds fuel to the fire,” said Shiltz. “It starts at 60-70 and we keep it going.”

The success that Hulett has at 220 motivates Jackson Mikkelsen at 195 and Tanner at 285 to carry on the run of excellence.

“It helps having these guys have a lot of success,” Mikkelsen said. “I practice against them every day.

That is huge too.”

When one sees another win, it adds motivation to keep the wins coming.

“We pull for each other.

We’re there for each other,” Hulett said. “Seeing us three, four in the finals, that helps us feed off each other.

We push each other in the room every day. We feed off each other and keep going hard.”

Four titles for Shiltz Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s run through the upper weights started with one of the most storied wrestlers the Hawkeye 10 Conference

has ever seen.

Shiltz became just the second wrestler in Panther in school history and seventh wrestler in the history of the Hawkeye 10 to win four titles.

Jake Marlin is the other Panther to win four Hawkeye 10 titles.

Shiltz won it as a freshman at 145, a sophomore at 160 and as a junior at 170.

Shiltz methodically dominated Glenwood’s Anthony Sherry in the final.

Shiltz and Sherry were scoreless after one period.

Shiltz took control with a five-point second period, then put it away with two more points in the third for a 7-0 win.

“It was a pretty conservative match,” said Creston/ Orient-Macksburg coach Darrell Frain. “He made us initiate everything. He wasn’t going to make a mistake.”

For Shiltz, it was a rare six-minute match since the Kansas City Stampede.

It came at a good time with the postseason approaching.

“That’s what we’ve got to do,” Frain said.

All of the drills Shiltz does with his teammates under Frain’s watch paid off in the finals at the Hawkeye 10.

SHENANDOAH — Kylan Smallwood stepped up in the absence of Evan Jacobson, who was out with an illness, with 31 points in Creston’s 56-54 conference road victory in Shenandoah Friday.

Smallwood not only took charge of the offense, but also stole the ball eight times and assisted on five buckets to get the Panthers out in transition.

“Kylan carried

us on the offensive end,” Creston coach Taylor Phipps said. “Defensively I thought lots of guys stepped up and made plays. I was pleased with the way we grinded it out even in the second half when they hit me big shots to crawl back into it.”

Cody Crawford scored eight points and Kyle Somers stepped up in the second half with several buck-

ets in a close game to finish with seven points.

“I thought Kyle Somers did nice job of providing a spark in that third quarter,” Phipps said. “Came out, hit some shots and had an and one.

That really was big for us in the second half.”

CRESTON GIRLS BASKETBALL

Panthers test Fillies, but eventually fall on Senior Night

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

For three quarters the Creston girls basketball team was better than Class 3A 11th-ranked Shenandoah, but the fourth quarter swung to the Fillies in a 4539 win for the visitors.

The Panthers looked sharper than previous games in nearly all aspects of the game from the opening tip.

“The thing we’ve talked about all year was focusing and how important it is,” Creston coach Ryan McKim said. “If we can just continue to figure out on defense what it takes every single play from a focus and effort standpoint you never know.”

When Madison Callahan drove the lane late in the third quarter and dished off to a waiting Cayla Maitlen for an easy layup, the Panthers rode into the fourth quarter with a 31-27 lead.

The situation had looked less promising to start the second half when Shenandoah scored the first eight points.

Creston responded with scoring from a surprising source.

Saige Rice stepped up and played her most valuable minutes of the season.

With the Panthers down four at 21-17, Rice hit an elbow jumper, and shortly after called for the ball out of the post from the perimeter and nailed another 3-point-

er.

Rice scored 10 of her 12 points in the third quarter.

Rice’s emergence as a threat has come at a critical time for the Panthers.

McKim lauded her coachability.

“She stepped up, no doubt,” McKim said. “Saige has come a long way since we started coaching her last year as a freshman.”

“She listens intently and then goes out and tries to do what you asked her to do...

Very proud of her, we needed someone to make those plays tonight.”

Fast forward to the fourth quarter, where the Fillies and Panthers traded buckets.

A Cammy Rutherford

bucket at the hoop gave Creston a 33-29 lead.

Shenandoah scored the next 10 points, mostly by feeding the post. Fillies’ bigs, Logan Ehlers and Logan Hughes worked hard in the post and went to work around the basket with Rutherford having fouled out with about five minutes to go in the game. The two combined for 25 points.

“Rutherford is a great player,” Shenandoah coach Jon Weinrich said. “She works so hard. She fouled out and it was obviously a great help to us.”

Rutherford worked the boards hard and wasn’t the only one. Maitlen grabbed 10 rebounds to go with her four points.

“I’m extremely proud of how she (Maitlen) stepped up and competed,” McKim said.

Free throws made a difference, as Shenandoah hit seven freebies in the fourth.

In the first half, the defensive effort from the Panthers limited the Fillies to just one point in the first six minutes of action and six minutes overall.

Creston stopped a short run from the Fillies in he second to take a 15-13 lead into halftime.

Brielle Baker led Creston with 13 points.

“I was very proud of our effort,” McKim said. “I thought all of the girls that played stepped up in their own way and it was good.

Never satisfied with losing but you can’t get caught up in the results, you just have to do the things that you can control, your effort and your attitude.”

The Panthers celebrated senior night, and were recognized before the game.

Seniors Madison Callahan, Lexie Little, Logan Pettit and Cammy Rutherford were all recognized.

The Creston middle school teams were recognized at halftime of the game.

MURRAY BOYS BASKETBALL Mustangs undefeated no more, fall to Grand View Christian in Bluegrass final

contributed 11 points, seven rebounds and five assists to the Mustangs’ cause.

He weighed in on how the game went awry in the second quarter.

“The key was to pass the ball and get the ball around so they couldn’t guard us as much and keep the clock running,” Boles said.

Murray had planned on getting past GVC’s fullcourt zone press, which trapped and hounded the player with the ball mercilessly, by passing around it and taking its time on offense.

“We played good and executed the gameplan in the first quarter,” Bryce Keller said. “Kind of got away from that in the second quarter and that’s where it hurt us.”

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

MELCHER-DALLAS — For about nine minutes of game action, the previously-undefeated Murray boys basketball team held its own against Class 1A third-ranked Grand View Christian in the Bluegrass Conference tournament final.

Trailing 20-17 about a minute and a half into the second quarter, the Class 1A eighth-ranked Mustangs got away from their gameplan and succumbed to a 36-9 run over the next sixplus minutes as the Thunder rolled to an 85-46 win Saturday.

Kenny Boles distributed the ball effectively early and

Keller’s 21 points led the Mustangs, as did his 11 rebounds.

Grant DeMeleunaere powered the Thunder through the impressive second quarter stretch and finished with 27 points after a 21-point first half.

Dustin Teas, whose lategame heroics pulled Murray over the hump against Ankeny Christian Acacdemy in the semifinals, didn’t score but did distribute the ball well early against the press.

Murray defeated Ankeny Christian Academy 60-59 Friday to get to the championship game.

Teas hit three late free throws when he was fouled on an attempt beyond the arc in the game’s final moments Friday. Four of the

yourself up throughout the season,� Shiltz said. “You may not start out the season the best, but if you keep working hard, eventually you’ll reach success with the program we have.�

It starts with Frain’s teaching every day. “It goes back to him,�

Shiltz said. “It’s the right mindset going into practice to get better. If you have that mindset, you’re going to have success.�

Mikkelsen wins first Hawkeye 10 crown in thriller Mikkelsen’s mindset has been right in practice all season.

HIs season then turned a corner in Kansas City.

While he hit a speed bump at the John J. Harris Tournament, he overcame that at the Hawkeye 10. “I didn’t start the year great,� Mikkelsen said. “Kansas City was a big turning point. I started working on my offense a lot and opening it up from there.�

Mikkelsen’s road to his first Hawkeye 10 Conference title took him through two opponents who’d defeated him earlier this season.

Mikkelsen picked an opportune time to come up with redemption.

Mikkelsen earned wins over Atlantic’s Zac Stork and Glenwood’s Isaac Bales to claim the title at 195 pounds.

Mikkelsen, who lost to Stork in the final at the John J. Harris Tournament, bounced back with a 3-2 win.

In a match exceptionally similar to the one during the dual at Glenwood in December, Mikkelsen used an escape six seconds into the final 30-second tiebreaker to win 3-2. “I knew going into it be in that was going to be the position if we got there,� Mikkelsen said. “Last time, he beat me when I was in that position. I was ready for it, was ready to get out of it.�

Against Bales, Mikkelsen won the coin flip to determine position to start the second period. Mikkelsen took down and escaped. Bales did the same in the third.

Mikkelsen had a couple shots on the edge of the mat, but could not convert them. “That’s how Bales and Stork and him every match they wrestle is like that,�

Frain said. “Sometimes you

win the toss, then you get a choice sudden victory. The dual was identical except they get the toss.�

Mikkelsen came out on top for one of the few times in his career.

It sets Mikkelsen up for a big run in the postseason. “The next step is sectionals, districts, hopefully on top of the podium at state,�

Mikkelsen said. “It gets the blood pumping. I hope to get up there, be there with the best.�

Rare close match goes Hulett’s way Hulett capped off the strong run with a 4-1 win over Glenwood’s Zach Haggstrom at 220.

For Hulett, it was certainly his closest match since Kansas City and one of the few times he went a full six minutes since the Stampede.

Haggstrom’s defense thwarted Hulett’s offense. “He came through with a game plan,� Hulett said.

Hulett’s footwork allowed him to score a pair of takedowns.

Hulett’s footwork kept Haggstrom from setting up much of an offensive attack. “I felt if I kept moving and kept working hard, thing would turn out fine,� Hulett said.

For his first close match in more than a month, Hulett still felt good about it. “It’s good to know I can still pull these out,� Hulett said. “This year, I haven’t had too many matches like

this. That’s the joy of the Hawkeye 10. When you put us all together, you can have some pretty good matches.�

Goodson bounces back with important win Jacob Goodson and Atlantic’s Kole Hansen had split their two previous matchups this season, both down-tothe-wire matches.

This time, it was Goodson who had control of the match.

Goodson used a takedown in the first period, an escape in the second, then another escape and takedown in the third to score a 6-3 win.

Goodson found a weakness with Hansen’s elbow and took advantage of it. “I worked more with the elbow. That seems to work better most of the time,�

Goodson said.

Goodson’s shots were sharper.

Vicker reaches tournament final for first time The Panthers added a runner-up finish from Cade Vicker at 126.

It was the first time this season that Vicker has

reached the finals of a tournament. “I worked hard in the practice room, did what I could to do to get in the finals for the first time this year,� Vicker said.

Vicker reached the finals with a first-period pin of Red Oak’s Michael Gomez.

Good results up and down the lineup Creston/Orient-Macksburg added third-place finishes from Brodie Starlin at 106 and Tanner at 285.

For Starlin, it was a big boost of confidence. “I worked hard at finishing my shots,� Starlin said.

Starlin’s worked showed in pinning Benjamin Schmitz of Kuemper Catholic in the third-place match. “Brodie’s starting to wrestle with a little bit more confidence,� Frain said. “Sometimes he panics against the bigger kids. They get on top of him. He can’t stop moving. He’s not big enough to relax.�

The Panthers also picked up a fourth-place finish from Kelby Luther at 132, a fourth from Kolby Tomas at 170, a fifth-place finish from Brant Looney at 152 and a sixthplace finish from Mitchel Swank at 145.

Atlantic victorious Atlantic won its first conference title since 1980, wining with 235 points to Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s 212 points. Red Oak edged Glenwood for third, 190.5 to 190.

The Trojans had three champions and four runners-up. The Trojans had a meet-high 10 semifinalists.

Panthers Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s day started off ominously Saturday.

The Panthers were dealt a big blow to their hopes of winning another title when Trevor Marlin, who would’ve been the top seed at 138 pounds and a favorite to win the title, failed to make weight and could not compete.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s title hopes took another big hit when Swank, seeded second at 145 pounds, had to injury default out of the semifinal match at 145 pounds. “It was down at the beginning of the day, but we finished pretty strong,� Frain said. “Having a number one seed not make weight and having a number two seed default puts you behind the eight ball. But as the day went on we wrestled stronger and stronger. We ended on a good note.�

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Spartans do just enough for road win

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

ESTHERVILLE — The Southwestern Community College women’s basketball team did just enough to pull out a road game in conference play Saturday.

The Spartans defeated Iowa Lakes 66-64 due to an all-around cohesive effort from the squad to earn Iowa Community Community College win number two.

Southwestern, who trailed by six heading into the fourth quarter, went with a lineup change for the final

grow as a unit.”

Southwestern’s back was on the ropes with Iowa Lakes about ready to deliver a knockout blow late in the first half. The Lakers led by 13, 41-28. Khallid Edwards stepped up and buried two triples to cut the lead to seven, 41-34 going into halftime.

The Spartans kept the momentum going after halftime. Iowa Lakes scored the first two points, but Southwestern countered with a 14-0 run. Calvin Chambers, Maddred and Brodric

period. ”It really was a team effort from the individuals that were on the Houston court.

I went with a more defensive lineup for the end,” Southwestern coach Addae Houston said.

The Spartans also utilized the athleticism of that second group to get to the rim in the fourth. It paid off to an 18-10 advantage in the final 10 minutes.

Southwestern held Iowa Lakes to just 31.8 percent shooting (18-58) and turned the Lakers over 19 times.

Julanie Carter and Eriayana Frazier were the lone Spartans to score in double-digits, the former putting up 14 and the latter scoring 12.

It was Carter’s last-minute layup off an inbounds play that gave Southwestern a one-point lead late, and another free throw from her that gave the Spartans their final tally of 66.

Iowa Lakes had a possession in the game’s waning moments but turned the ball

over.

“I was not 100 percent satisfied with our performance, but we found a way to get the win regardless,” Houston said.

Free throws proved to be a critical factor. Southwestern made 20-of-26 from the charity stripe and Iowa Lakes made 18-of-33 free throws.

UP NEXT — Southwestern (11-7, 2-3) plays host to Kansas City Community College (14-6) in a makeup game today (Monday) in Creston starting at 6 p.m.

Thomas each hit a three, while KeShawn Wilson and Maddred each made a field goal to give Southwestern a 47-45 lead.

Thomas took advantage of mismatches to lead the Spartans with 20 points.

Maddred had 18 points and eight rebounds.

Johnson d e l i v e r e d Johnson in many ways, scoring 14 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and dishing out seven assists with only one turnover.

“As far as across the board, he had one of his best games,” Lorensen said.

“Sometimes that’s unfair to him. We know how good he is. We expect so much more from him than any other person. You look at the stat sheet — it tells you how valuable he is to our program.”

Creston junior varsity boys basketball team experience defensive struggles again as the Panthers fell 56-40 at Shenandoah Friday.

Eli Loudon, with 10 points, was the lone Panther to score more than six points as the Panthers fell behind 16-5 after a quarter.

After that, Creston played relatively even with the Mustangs, but could not overcome the early deficit.

The Mustangs’ Mason Silence scored 14 to lead Shenandoah.

“Our defense has really dropped off the past few games,” Creston coach Todd Jacobson said. “We didn’t seem to have a flow or a sense of urgency early and Shenandoah got out to a healthy lead.

would occur on campus.”

According to the complaint, Mason warned in his annual budget request that the lack of funding and services could lead to students harming themselves or others, but that the university agreed to hire only one more employee.

Mason says that his firing came without notice. As an atwill employee, the university didn’t need cause to terminate him.

Mason’s dismissal letter said only that Hill wanted a leadership change. But the complaint accused said Hill of defaming Mason by allegedly telling employees that Mason was an unethical person who couldn’t be trusted. Hill retired as vice president months later but has remained a policy adviser to Leath.

The International Association of Counseling Services honored Mason months af-

ter his firing with a lifetime achievement award. He is the current treasurer and past president of that group.

His complaint noted that the association recommends universities have one full-time counselor for every 1,000 to 1,500 students. Iowa State’s staffing levels were nine employees below that goal when he was fired, it said.

The settlement says Iowa State disputes Mason’s allegations and requires both sides not to publicly disparage each other.

The university is moving to expand mental health services with a $24 increase in mandatory student health fees that will go into effect next school year. The Board of Regents approved the increase last month.

Iowa State spokesman John McCarroll said the new funding would be used to hire three psychologists, two nurses and a psychiatrist, and he noted that the increase was supported by student leaders.
