Union County child abuse rates drop, still high in comparison

QUICK NEWS Absentee voting

By BAILEY POOLMAN

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Union County’s child abuse rate dropped during the summer months, but the rate is still high in comparison to numbers across the state.

While still prevalent in society, the number of children abused across the state of Iowa has dropped from 13,288 in 2003 to 11,637 in 2012.

“Child abuse, it knows no economic boundaries, or educational b o u n d a r - Ver Meer ies,” said Paul Ver Meer, Creston police chief.

“It can occur anywhere.”

Union County

Tim Kenyon, Union County attorney, said 47 incidents of child abused were referred to Department of Human Services in July from Union County. Since then, the numbers have dropped.

Kenyon said 30 were reported in August, 28 in September and six so far in October.

Kenyon receives the reports, Kenyon but only after investigation are they dubbed unconfirmed, confirmed or founded.

“If John Doe calls in a complaint to the hotline, it goes to the Department of Human Services,” said Kenyon. “DHS has a preliminary intake. They do screenings, they do certain things as far a report that comes in. I receive a copy of all those that

come in.”

However, Ver Meer said child abuse cases are not very common, but if there are any, Creston Police Department works with DHS. The majority of incidents in Union County request no action be taken because they are unconfirmed, which means child abuse or neglect did not occur. Union County had 133 unconfirmed incidents reported in 2012.

There were nine confirmed cases, which means the abuse was minor, isolated and unlikely to happen again.

But, 60 incidents in 2012 were founded, which means there was child abuse taking place and the person was most likely filed on a child abuse registry.

The incidents reported in 2012 totaled 202. However, the reports do not take into account how many children were addressed with each report.

“Most of the ones I get are not confirmed and not founded,” Kenyon said. “If it is a founded report, then at that point Department of Human Services is talking about some kind of action.”

Drug correlation

While one possiblity of less child abuse cases during the fall could be because children are at school, another possibility for the drop is drugs.

Kenyon said law enforcement arrested a number of people in spring and early summer on drug-related charges.

“So, I’m hopeful that we disrupted the drug traffic to a degree that the spinoff effect of that was that there are not quite as many drugs around,” said Kenyon. “If there aren’t quite as many drugs around, they’re real hard to get. And so, people aren’t using maybe as much, and since they’re not using as much, we don’t have the circumstances where kids are being neglected as much.”

However, no studies have been done to find any correlation between drug use and child abuse.

Child abuse

Child abuse rears its head in many different ways, not just physically. According to the website of Prevent Child Abuse Iowa, some forms of abuse include neglect, failure to provide appropriate

Forms of abuse According to Prevent Child Abuse Iowa’s website, child abuse in Iowa, which is defined by state laws, is defined as: • sexual abuse of a child, • failure to provide appropriate housing, food or clothing, • intended physical injury, • mental injury, • presence of an illegal drug in a child’s body as a result of actions or neglect, • allowing a known sex offender, who is not the child’s biological parent or the caretaker’s spouse, access or custody of the child, • manufacturing a dangerous substance in the presence of a child, • and, providing access to or showing obsene material to a child. food and clothing, sexual abuse and mental injury.

“Our goal is the reduction the of child abuse,” said Ver Meer. “So, we find funding for services for them.”

High Lakes banquet numbers This year’s High Lakes Outdoor Alliance banquet held Thursday at Three Mile Lodge raised about $39,000. Tom Lesan reports 307 people attended the banquet that included a prime-rib dinner, raffle and auction.

“This is our best year ever in terms of money raised and attendance,” Lesan said. “We have great sponsors for this event that make it easy for us to have a good return. We have great supporters. You know when cinnamon rolls are auctioned off at $110 that people really like what you are doing.

People like that all money raised will be spent in Lesan Union County.”

mately 10 p.m. Saturday. According to Rob Mason, Diagonal assistant fire chief, Diagonal Volunteer Fire Department and Ringgold County ambulance responded to a house fire at 406 Broadway St. in Diagonal because of an electric short to a dryer. The dryer caught fire and it spread into the washer. It was contained in the basement of the house and all power in the basement was shut off. Damage estimate was the “cost of a washer and dryer,” said Mason, and the female was treated onsite and not taken to the hospital. The same residence caught fire approximately 9 p.m. Sunday when an extension cord, feeding power to a freezer in the basement, got hot. Diagonal, Ellston and Mount Ayr volunteer fire departments and Ringgold County ambulance responded to the fire Sunday. No one needed medical treatment after the fire and a damage estimate is unavailable, but, according to Mason, the house is “not liveable at the moment.”

OPINION Making a better Creston

It’s been almost two months since I last wrote a column.

It’s been so long people are inquiring as to why I quit writing columns. They want updates on my wife and Harper.

For the record, I haven’t quit writing columns. I only took a break because I was training for some new responsibilities.

I’ve also been asked by some people — I assume because our house was for sale — if Stormy and I are leaving Creston altogether.

No, we fully plan to raise Harper and any other children we may have in the Creston School District.

I love Creston and all its imperfections, and am excited to see Harper grow up in this school district. (See photo, right, of her showing support in her Panther gear for

In Transit Kyle Wilson Asst. managing editor

homecoming).

I’m excited about the families already in Creston, as well as the young people and families moving back to Creston. I read in last week’s paper Caleb Hoakison and his wife Jill — who recently accepted a position as a physical therapist at Greater Regional Medical Center — are moving to Creston.

I sometimes hear people speak ill of Creston. That irritates me, especially when the criticism comes from people who live here and pay taxes here. Everyone in this

community has the opportunity to make it a better place to live.

This is our home. If we don’t take pride in it, who will?

Did you get a chance to read the history of why Mr. Remi Gits established a Gits Manufacturing assembly plant in Creston nearly 70 years ago? Traveling from Colorado to Chicago via train, he was forced to stay overnight in Creston because of a terrible snowstorm.

During his stay, Gits was so overwhelmed by this hospitality and helpfulness of the Creston community, he decided to build an assembly plant here.

That story gives me goosebumps.

That’s the kind of community we must continue to build on a day-today basis. If we do, pride will grow and criticism will wither.

Here is Harper, dressed in Creston Panther gear showing her support during homecoming week.

Letters to the editor

Update on the Freedom Rock From Denny Abel, VFW Post 1797 Creston

I would like to take this time to give an update on the Freedom Rock for Union County.

The rock is at the welcome center in Creston. I cannot tell you how heart warming it is to be a part of this community for all the donations and time put in by local residents. A total of more than

$10,000 has been donated.

A special thank you to Jesse Giza for bringing the rock in, American Concrete for donating the concrete and Kirby Berry and his crew for laying the pad. All of this was donated time and equipment.

We are now forming a committee to help in designing what will be painted on the Freedom Rock.

Again, thank you to everyone for your patriotism.

We like to hear from you!

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

Keeping Up with the Kardashians stars Bruce and Kristi Jenner announced they will end their twenty-two year marriage. It’s family-shattering. Bruce Jenner just asked his surgeon to give him a brave face, and he’s suing for whatever is the opposite of custody.

Libyan prime minister Ali Zidan was kidnapped and held for ransom by terrorists last week. His release was finally arranged. If our president was kidnapped by terrorists for ransom money, our government would have to ask if they would accept a post-dated check.

The Wall Street Journal released a poll revealing American fury at Washington over the shutdown.

There’s hope. Ten percent blame President Obama, ten percent blame Congress, while eighty percent want to ask Queen Elizabeth to forgive us and take us back Machete Kills opened with Charlie Sheen as the U.S. president and Mel Gibson the evil arms dealer who wants to overthrow the U.S. government. It was written before the shutdown changed public attitudes. Instead of wanting to see the President of the U.S. get high with hookers, movie audiences are cheering for Mel to overthrow the U.S. government.

Arizona Congresswoman Brenda Barton reflected the partisan

anger on Capitol Hill Friday when she compared President Obama to Adolf Hitler. That’s over the top. Let’s be honest, if President Obama was really like Hitler he would have invaded Arizona by now.

President Obama placed a call to House Speaker John Boehner Friday and they made reported progress. It’s embarrassing. In the last forty years there have been seventeen U.S. govenment shutdowns, the longest was the four years that Jimmy Carter was president.

The White House met with both parties Friday to try to solve the shutdown. They’re arguing for two different Americas. The Democrats say health care is everyone’s right and the Republicans say that Miley Cyrus was Hannah Montana when Bush was president.

Miley Cyrus sang a lewd impression of GOP conservative Michelle Bachmann on NBC Saturday while plugging her single Wrecking Ball. She’s on a roll.

Miley Cyrus made the cover of Rolling Stone this month, which makes it it official, she’s a domestic terrorist.

Ian Fleming’s estate chose au-

The Nobel Peace Prize went to chemical weapons inspectors in Syria Friday. There was disappointment in Moscow. Vladimir Putin didn’t win for preventing a war but Hollywood might give him an Oscar like they always do when an actor goes against type.

Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub set an NFL record Sunday by throwing an interception returned for a TD in four straight games. What an arm. Matt Schaub and Eli Manning played catch this morning, killing four bystanders and injuring seventeen others.

Nintendo introduced its new hand-held gaming device to go with the new Pokemon game. The game offers three new characters, a frog, a deer and a grass monster.

The device will be marketed to go head to head with its chief rival, doing something productive.

ENTERTAINMENT The 12 months of filing Dear Heloise: To keep files of bills, appointments and tax deductions organized, I have 12 FILE FOLDERS, one for each month, with four weeks in each. At the end of the month, that file folder is put to the back so the present month is in front.

When I get a usable tax receipt, it goes in that month’s file folder. Mail-in rebates and associated papers go into the month or week of expected payment. Birthday cards go in the proper month until they are mailed.

Warranty or possible returnable-item receipts are stapled together and put into the month in which they were purchased. Saves a lot of time if there is a problem.

At the end of the fiscal tax year, the folders can be emptied and noted for deduction.

Hints from Heloise gestion in your column in the Ventura County (Calif.) Star.

I purchased three dozen washcloths in colors matching my guest bathroom, rolled them up tightly and stuck them into a pretty wicker basket, just like you would do with flowers.

I put out a small basket for occasional guests and a large one for parties. The used cloths go into a wicker basket on the floor. It’s attractive and very hygienic. — Marion E. in Simi Valley, Calif.

CRAFTY CLIPBOARDS Dear Heloise: With three teenagers, all involved in different activities, it’s hard to keep communication fluid.

My oldest daughter and I dedicated a wall space in the entryway of our house for better communication.

We got a clipboard for each person, decorated them and mounted them on the wall where they couldn’t be missed.

Now we use the boards for todo lists, notes, appointments and shopping lists. It’s been a lifesaver for us! — Jessica in Ohio

GOOD GREENHOUSES Dear Readers: Many readers like to save time by buying precooked chickens, and while the plastic containers they come in CAN be recycled, why not repurpose them instead?

Make a little greenhouse!

The containers are perfect for starting seeds or herbs. Wash and fill with a seed-starting mix, and add water to moisten. Poke holes in the soil and tuck in the little seeds. Make sure to keep the “greenhouse” in a nice sunny spot and sealed tightly! Happy planting! — Heloise MAILBOX FLAG Dear Heloise: I have an older mailbox, and the red flag sometimes drops down before the mailman comes, especially on windy days. So, I place a rubber band around the flag BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker and then link it to the handle on the door of the mailbox.

No more dropped flag. — Kay Osborne, Mission Viejo, Calif.

THE NUMBERS GAME

.134

The batting average for St. Louis through 3 games of the NLCS, the worst by a team through 3 games of any LCS.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Dodgers win LOS ANGELES — Led by a pair of precocious rookies, the Los Angeles Dodgers got themselves right back into the NL Championship Series.

Hyun-Jin Ryu outpitched Adam Wainwright with seven innings of three-hit ball, and Yasiel Puigtripled home a run to help Los Angeles beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 Monday night in Game 3.

Adrian Gonzalez’s RBI double ended a 1-for-17 drought for the Dodgers with runners in scoring position. An ailing Hanley Ramirez added a run-scoring hit as Los Angeles handed Wainwright his first postseason loss and trimmed its deficit to 2-1 in the bestof-seven series.Game 4 is Tuesday at Dodger Stadium, with Ricky Nolasco scheduled to start against St. Louis righthander Lance Lynn.

“The playoffs are oneday momentum swings,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. “Right now I feel like we’ve kind of grabbed it.”

Colts drop SAN DIEGO — Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers kept Andrew Luck on the sideline most of the night, giving the Indianapolis Colts quarterback no chance for another comeback.

Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night.

Rivers methodically moved the Chargers (3-3) on three scoring drives of at least 74 yards as he rebounded from a three-interception performance in a dismal loss at Oakland.

That, and a lot of dropped passes by Colts receivers, kept Indianapolis (4-2) from taking a twogame lead over Tennessee in the AFC South.

A week earlier, Luck helped rally the Colts to a 34-28 victory against Seattle.

“We knew if we didn’t turn the ball over and we sustained drives, which we did — we had some 12, 14, 16-play drives -- that we’d give ourselves a chance to win,” Rivers said.

Spartans fight off Grand View JV

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

Fresh off a 3-1 weekend at the tough DMACC Invitational over the weekend, the Southwestern Community College volleyball team hosted Grand View’s JV team here Monday night.

The Spartans powered their way to a 25-7 win in game one, but Grand View put up a fight in the second game, before the Spartans eventually put the Vikings away 25-19 and 25-18.

“Another good win for us,” Southwestern head coach Melissa Blessington said. “We started out with a lot of fire and intensity, and then we let Grand View make a run on us early in the second game and had to fight back for the win the rest of the way.”

Alex Duffy finished with a team-high 11 kills and also recorded two blocks.

Janaya Fox totaled 10 Duffy blocks and had 12 digs.

Molly Schimp led the team with 18 digs, while also serving 13-of-14 with three aces. Serena Yong contributed 11 digs. Ashley Strong served 10-of-11 with two aces. Cassidy Yong set 39 assists in the win.

Blessington said with the long weekend of matches before Monday’s match, it was important to not take Grand View lightly.

“We had a long weekend and it was important for us to make sure to take a team like Grand View seriously, because they are always tough for us to play,” she said. “Grand View was scrappy on defense and made us work for every point in the second and third sets. We have to stay focused as we make our postseason run. Every match is a chance for us to get better.”

Southwestern, now 24-9 for the season, travels to Eastern Iowa Community College in Clinton on Wednesday.

Southwestern 3, Grand View JV 0 Kills — Alex Duffy 11, Janaya Fox 10 Digs — Molly Schimp 18, Janaya Fox 12, Serena Yong 11 Assists — Cassidy Yong 39 Serving (aces) — Molly Schimp 13-14 (3), Ashley Strong 10-11 (2) Blocks — Alex Duffy 2

Freshmen beat Glenwood The Creston/O-M freshmen defeated Glenwood Friday, 26-18, at Panther Field.

Chase Shiltz carried 14 times for 135 yards and two touchdowns for the Panthers (6-1). Brody Frain ran 16 times for 32 yards and a touchdown. Special teams were a strength for Creston/O-M, as Gavin Woods returned a kick 88 yards for a touchdown.

Shiltz also had 14 total tackles. Cody Tanner had nine tackles, including five for losses.

Coach Jon Thomson said it was a good victory for a Creston/O-M group against an “unknown” opponent they don’t face in middle school.

“We don’t really know what to expect when we play them,” Thomson said. “The offensive line did a nice job allowing us to push them backward and really run the ball the way we do. Glenwood got some big plays on offense to keep themselves in it.

We’d answer right back.”

Some shuffling took place because of injuries, Thomson noted. Kadon Hulett was lost for the season with a broken hand.

“Our next opponent is

Winterset, and I believe these kids have not beaten Winterset in middle school,” Thomson said.

“We have something to prove and we really need to have a good week of practice to get the turnaround on these guys this week.”

There was no junior varsity game Monday because of heavy rain in Glenwood prior to game time.

Creston.O-M 26, Glenwood 18 INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS RUSHING — Chase Shiltz 14-135, 2 TD; Brody Frain 16-32, 1 TD; Colton Bolinger 7-27; Jackson Mikkelsen 3-9.

Sports briefs Bearcats roll MARYVILLE, Mo. — The Northwest Missouri State Bearcats scored the first 28 points of the game and continued to score in a 72-10 thrashing of Central Oklahoma on Saturday.

Four different players scored on the ground and the quarterbacking duo of Trevor Adams and Brady Bolles were efficient in helping the No. 3 Bearcats move to 6-0 on the year. Central Oklahoma dropped to 0-6.

Adams finished the day 18-for-21 passing for 246 yards and three touchdowns while Bolles was 5-for-6 for 121 yards and a touchdown of his own. Bryce Young had three receptions for 104 yards and a score.

Robert Burton carried the ball seven times for 76 yards and scored twice. Phil Jackson rushed for a team-high 81 yards on eight carries.

The Northwest defense allowed just 11 first downs, 68 yards on the ground and 297 total offensive yards.

Matt Longacre led with two sacks while Travis Manning and Dylan Chadwick had an interception apiece.

Redshirt freshman Collin Bevins of Creston had a pass breakup for the Bearcats at defensive end before leaving the game with a foot strain injury. Brandon Sleep of Bedford also played in the game, and linebacker D.J. Gnader of Lewis Central had six tackles.

Northwest Missouri State plays in the annual Fall Classic at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City against Pittsburg State on Saturday.

Bevins is hopeful of playing in that game.

Freshman defensive end Keaton Hulett of Creston, redshirting this season, underwent shoulder surgery for a torn labrum last week, allowing recovery time for spring practices.

Mustangs win SIOUX CITY — Ryan Kasdorf threw for 232 yards and four touchdowns, two apiece to Joel McCabe and Kyle Schuck, as top-ranked (NAIA) Morningside (6-0, 5-0 Great Plains) built a 37-0 halftime lead in beating Hastings 44-3.

Hastings (1-5, 0-5) avoided a shutout with a late 44-yard field goal.

Receiver Alan Smith of Creston played in the game for the Mustangs and was targeted for a pass in the Smith fourth quarter, which was incomplete.

Helping to bring a slice of the Knapp Center atmosphere to Jordan Creek Town Center will be the Bulldogs’ cheerleaders and the mascots Spike and Porterhouse.

Freshmen fall in consolation at Red Oak RED OAK — Creston freshmen won a match in their consolation match with Atlantic here Saturday, but the Trojanns rebounded to defeat the Panthers 15-21, 21-18, 15-8.

“We had a great start in the first set, and had our chance to win it in set two,” said Creston coach Mike McCabe. “We got behind early in set three and could not recover.”

The Panthers were 0-3 in pool play, getting a slow

start against a strong Harlan team that prevailed 21-5, 2118. McCabe said the team was much improved in set two.

Creston twice had set point in the opener against Glenwood, but the Rams went on to win 22-20, 21-14.

Stanton then controlled the action in a 21-8m, 21-11 victory over the Panthers.

Creston has a rematch with Harlan as the freshmen, JV and varsity play at Harlan today.
