Ferrara Candy City Council inches closer Company to to ordinance changes close its doors in December

CITY COUNCIL

By CARTER ECKL CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

Ferrara Candy Company announced it would be closing its doors in Creston in mid-December according to a statement from the company received by the Creston News Advertiser.

The German-based company opened for business in southwest Iowa nearly 30 years ago. The company’s headquarters are located in

By CARTER ECKL CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

Some confusion, frustration and technicalities surrounded changes Creston City Council is looking to make to Ordinance 122 after Tuesday’s bi-monthly meeting.

The council had a second discussion on how certain parts of the ordinance should read and, after another hour dedicated to the topic, it appears to be closing in on a solution.

Currently, the part of the ordinance in question reads as follows: Chapter 122.18 License Exemptions 3. Local residents and Farmers. Local residents and farmers who offer products for sale.

The changes proposed for the next council meeting will be geared toward defining what is local (resident and farmer) and whether it is necessary to change prod-

ucts to produce.

After Tuesday’s lengthy discussion, a proposal submitted by council members was agreed upon to be officially slated for the docket in the following meeting, scheduled for Tuesday Oct. 17.

Those changes would split resident and farmers into two subsections under the exemption: “Local resident – A resident that owns residential property in the Creston city limits and lives within the Creston city limits and offers products for sale.

Local farmer – a person that owns/rents ag land within Union County, Iowa, and offers products.”

These changes are unofficial as of now and are subject to change during the subsequent meeting.

Council members and city officials can still manipulate wording as they see fit before the next meeting.

“We will change the definitions and next meeting we

will have it so (the council) can review the definitions and m a k e sure it’s Taylor written like (the council) intended,” City Administrator Mike Taylor said at the end of Tuesday’s meeting.

Discussion Discussions circled throughout the meeting with council members and the public trading ideas.

Ideas whirled around, such as leaving the ordinance exactly how it currently reads, cutting the amount businesses would have to pay in license fees, if there should be an entirely separate section of ordinance dedicated to mobile food vendors and several others.

Ward 2 Representative Rich Madison was initially

in favor of leaving the ordinance the way it currently read before adjusting to the proposed change.

Taylor said changes made to the ordinance need to be capable of dealing with similar issues moving forward so the council wouldn’t have to address the same ordinance shortly down the road if other issues were to arise.

“I guess I’d just like to not have to look at it two years from now,” said Taylor. “I’d like for us to come to some kind of agreement.

(The previous ordinance), worked for seven or eight years. I just don’t think we can continue to change it all the time. I think it needs to be set.”

Steve Wintermute, council member at-large, stood by his platform from two weeks ago.

ten to graduation in 1977.

During his school years, Phil worked at the Co-op bean plant and a local motorcycle shop. After graduation, he moved to Texas to work on his uncle’s farm.

Life brought Phil back to Creston, where he worked with his Dad in a landscaping business. He met and later married Deb Agans.

They moved to Nebraska, where Phil worked in the cattle industry. Their daughter, Amanda was born in 1985. Deb and Phil later divorced.

Life again brought Phil back to Creston, where he worked for Bunn-O-Matic before taking over his father’s machine shop. In 2004, Phil met the love of his life, Alma. They were married in 2008 and he inherited two more daughters, Jeanie and Melissa; two sons, Chad and Jason and grandchildren, Alex, Aly, Terry Chans, Kambel, Averi, Kaydence and Lillian.

Phil and Alma shared their life to the fullest. Racing, dancing, laughing and enjoying their family and a cold PBR. In 2013, Phil proudly walked his daughter Amanda down the aisle

to marry Stewart Alderson.

Amanda and Stewart presented Phil with the apple of his eye, granddaughter McKenna in 2015.

Phil’s love of life was evident to everyone he met.

He was always positive and happy, his smile was contagious and he had enough love in his heart to fill an ocean. At the time of Phil’s passing, he was contracted with the U.S. Postal Service to transport mail to rural post offices and enjoyed every minute of time he spent visiting with the postmasters and residents of southwest Iowa. Phil Swanson was the type of friend everyone should have.

The impact of his absence will be felt by many: his wife, children, grandchildren and mother; brother Mike (Tami); nieces, Ashley (Matt) and Alicia; nephew Jesse; aunt and uncle, Carolyn and Gary and many cousins.

Phil was welcomed to his heavenly home by his father, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who preceded him.

Memorials are suggested to the family for later designation.

five nieces, two nephews and her mother-in-law Betty Waller.

She was preceded in death by her father Herman Fehrle; grandparents, Ernest and Katherine Worden and Fred Fehrle, uncles, Harry and Carl Fehrle and Kim Worden and her father-in-law Glenn Waller.

Kathy graduated from Creston High School in 1971, attended Southwestern Community College and received a Bachelor of elementary education in 1975 and Master of curriculum and instruction in 1981 from the University of Missouri-Columbia, graduating with highest honors.

She taught first grade in Creston and second and third grades in Olathe, Kansas, for 25 years and was selected as Ridgeview Elementary Teacher of the Year three times during her tenure.

She and her labrador retriever, Maxine, will also be remembered for initiating the pet therapy programs at Olathe Medical Center and Kids TLC. They visited many patients and staff at both facilities for more than six years and made many people smile. Kathy was a founding member of Saint Andrew Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and was a past moderator of the congregation.

Jeff and Kathy were married for 43 years.

Services will be held 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 13, at Saint Andrew Christian Church in Olathe, Kansas.

Visitation will be an hour prior to the service starting at 1 p.m. at Saint Andrew Christian Church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Saint Andrew Christian Church Legacy Fund, 13890 W. 127th St., Olathe, KS 66062.

Members of the public voiced frustration regarding the ordinance’s and city council’s specificity toward food sales. Arguments were presented that there are many other businesses run out of homes and other small-scale setups that aren’t having the same battles with fees and licensing exemptions.

snacks and confections to consumers. In a dynamic industry that is constantly evolving, and as the company continues to grow and capture market share, it is critical that we leverage our most efficient assets and invest in those state-of-the-art facilities where we have a competitive advantage and scale. As part of these efforts, and following a comprehensive review of our manufacturing operations, Ferrara Candy has made the difficult decision to close its facility in Creston, Iowa.

around and around in circles.”

After more than an hour of discussion Ward 3 Representative Gabe Carroll officially proposed the changes that had been previously discussed.

“I’m fine with changing the definitions and leaving the fees the way they are,” said Carroll.

Continued coverage of the changes to the ordinance will be in future editions of the News Advertiser.

Creston operations will continue until mid-December, at which point it will cease manufacturing and begin the process of winding down. All ongoing items at Creston will be absorbed within Ferrara’s supply network.

“Decisions that affect people are never easy and this was not one that was taken lightly. Ferrara Candy has been a proud part of the Creston community for more than 30 years. We greatly value the dedication and hard work of all our employees and are dedicated to treating our team members with dignity and respect. We are committed to offering severance and

transition assistance for our affected Creston employees and we will be meeting with all representatives involved in the process, including state agencies, to accomplish that goal.”

In an interview with WHO-TV in 2015, company officials at the Creston plant said they were struggling to find workers to employ at the Creston location due to the low unemployment in the area.

Ferrara Pan Candy Company and Farley’s and Sathers merged in 2012, to create the company that is in business today.

More information will be available in future editions of the News Advertiser.

to your friends on Wall Street and we’re going to have to wipe that out,” Trump said.

But on Wednesday, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney told reporters that “we are not going to be offering a bailout for Puerto Rico or for its current bondholders.”

Later this year, the White House is expected to require tens of billions of dollars more in long-term funds that would rebuild infrastructure, help people without insurance restore their homes, and, perhaps, help Puerto Rico reconstitute its shattered electrical grid.

Trump surveyed hurricane damage in Puerto Rico on Tuesday. He praised his administration’s response, even as lawmakers returning from the island say the president is painting far too rosy a picture.

Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., the situation there presents more difficult challenges than disasters in the continental U.S. For instance, without power or internet service, victims of Maria can’t go online to register for aid.

Housing vouchers are largely useless since the entire Island is devastated. He said many thousands of Puerto Ricans will need to be evacuated to the U.S. mainland.

Iowa E15 retailers kick-off second annual ‘Pink at the Pump’ campaign JOHNSTON – Iowa retailers are pretty in pink this October. More than 30 E15 retailers across the state are participating in the second annual “Pink at the Pump” campaign to raise funds for breast cancer support services and research while increasing consumer awareness about E15.

“As a breast cancer survivor, I encourage everyone to make a difference in someone’s life by choosing to use E15 and reduce the cancer-causing pollutants in our environment. It’s easy, it’s simple and it can save the life of someone you love,” said Kathy Buckman Gibson, breast cancer survivor and president of Buckman Laboratories International, which provides biofuels plants with technologies and tools to reduce energy and water use.

Participating E15 retailers will donate three cents of every gallon of E15 sold from Oct. 1-31 to National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) and The Hormel Institute.

“During Breast Cancer Awareness Month we often look for ways to help stop this terrible disease,” said Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) Managing Director Lucy Norton. “By choosing E15 consumers can fight breast cancer right at the gas pump. Ethanol is the worlds cleanest source of fuel octane. More clean ethanol means less toxic chemicals are needed to boost octane. And whats better, E15 has an 88 octane rating and is typically priced five to 10 cents less than 87-octane E10.”

NBCF focuses on providing help and inspiring hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education and support services.

“NBCF is providing help to those in need at every step of the breast cancer journey thanks to the generosity of the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association and Iowa

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, October 4, 2017

Fixing a broken tax system for hardworking Iowans Hardworking Iowans and Americans living paycheck to paycheck are feeling left behind and deserve tax relief. And for too long, our broken tax system has favored filling the coffers of the federal government in Washington under the misguided assumption of government knowing best how to spend your money.

This week, Republicans in Congress released a framework of a plan to fix our broken tax system to create a fair and simple tax code. Iowans know how to spend their money better than the federal government, which is why I want Iowans to keep more of their hardearned money for themselves and their families.

Our bloated, 75,000 page tax code is costly and confusing. Ninety-four percent of American families rely on a professional to help them file their taxes and we spend 6 billion hours every year trying to comply with the current tax law.

The last time our tax code was overhauled was in 1986. You remember what you were doing that year? Think about how much our society and economy have changed in the past 30 years. A modern age needs a modern tax code.

The foundation of the framework is reducing the current seven tax brackets for individuals down to four: 0 percent, 12 percent, 25 per-

cent and 35 percent. Additionally, we propose to double the standard deduction - $12,000 for single filers and $24,000 for married couples.

This is significant for Iowans and their families because it means the first $12,000 of income for singles filers or $24,000 of income for married couples will be tax free. This puts more money in the pockets of Iowans to spend, save or invest.

The proposed enhanced child tax-credit allows more middle class Iowans to qualify for the full $1,000 credit which lessens the burden of working Iowa parents.

Main Street job creators keep Iowa’s economy running but have been harmed by the current tax code. Our plan reduces taxes on small businesses to no more than 25 percent. This is the lowest rate since the 1930s! It allows Iowa entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and small business owners to have the confidence and certainty to invest in their businesses, create even more jobs, and better our communities.

This means the owners of a small business in Atlantic can build the expansion to their business they’ve

been waiting years to do, but couldn’t because of the burdens of our current tax structure.

Under our plan, farmers and small business owners will be able to expense all of their capital investments, rewarding them for investing in their communities. And finally, the plan proposes to repeal the death tax to allow families to pass on the farm or small business to the next generation without another tax punishment from Washington, DC. The United States has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world at almost 40 percent!

This directly stifles the full potential of job and economic growth in our nation and incentivizes companies to move capital and jobs overseas. We must end the current tax system which encourages companies to move jobs overseas. We must establish an American model bringing jobs and revenue and investment back home. In our plan, we propose bringing the corporate tax rate lower than the global aver-

age - while ending many corporate tax deductions, credits and incentives and simplifying the tax code.

This will help level the playing field for companies to stay and grow in American communities, creating good paying American jobs, and keeping tax revenues here in America.

We keep the mortgage interest deduction and charitable deduction to encourage home ownership and giving to causes dear to our hearts.

We end the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) which has caught many Iowans in a horrible tax web.

These are all just a few of the proposals and changes in the framework released earlier this week. There are going to be some provisions many have been waiting for a long time. There are going to be some provisions some may disapprove of or question. And that’s okay.

It’s important to remember, this is a proposed framework and the beginning and not the end of a policy or process. There are likely to

be some changes - new additions, deleted proposals, and tweaked policies. And after the House acts, the Senate will act.

And it’s important for Congress to act and make the tax code work for Iowans and their families by letting them keep more of their paycheck, grow the economy and create great jobs, and reduce the power and bullying of the IRS by simplifying the tax code and filing process for Iowans.

So, as we start this process and build upon this framework and formally introduce a bill and go through the legislative process, I want to hear from you with your thoughts - whether they be critical, complimentary or questioning. And to better understand and find more details about the proposed tax framework, please check out this informational link - www.young.house.gov/FairAndSimple- and give me your feedback. Your thoughts and voice in this policy and process is important to me.

Kneeling across the pond HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

London’s Wembley Stadium hosted a game between the Miami Dolphins and the New Orleans Saints Sunday. The anthem controversy followed them there. Three of the Dolphins knelt during the “Star Spangled Banner” and then Queen Elizabeth came down from the stands and high-fived them.

O.J. Simpson was released from prison Sunday and decided to spend his first night in freedom in Las Vegas. Did he get lucky? After nine years of being incarcerated with meth dealers, Simpson biker gangs and Aryan Nations members, the last thing O.J. wanted to do was go to a country music concert.

The Las Vegas Tourism and Convention Bureau insisted Monday that Las Vegas is completely safe for visitors and invited everyone to Sin City.

The bureau’s motto is, “what happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas.” That is, unless you decide to stage a mass shooting, that news tends to get around.

Florida’s attorney general said the state does not want O.J. Simpson to move to South Florida now that’s he’s on the loose. Realtors don’t want to scare away any customers. Florida officials are having enough trouble convincing New Yorkers that Donald Trump is only

PROJECT TITLE Adair County Courthouse Elevator Addition Greenfield, Iowa

For the third year in a row, First National Bank in Creston and Afton has been awarded a Top Workplaces honor by the Des Moines Register.

The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including alignment, execution and connection, just to name a few.

“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “To be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day – the employees.

Time and time again, our research has proven what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there and the feeling that everyone is in it together.”

Randy Huewe, president of First National Bank, said earning this award for the third consecutive year

speaks volumes about the leadership within the organization.

“Key factors in becoming an employer of choice is our management’s focus on how to attract the best people to work for our company,” Huewe said. “We ask ourselves, how can we add value to our employees and what do we do as a company that is unique?

We look Huewe for people who are team-oriented, engaged and community focused, who are interested in growing personally and professionally.”

Huewe said First National Bank employees understand the important role and positive impact they have on the communities they serve. In May 2017, the bank along with its owners Neal and Dwight Conover donated $75,000 to help upgrade facilities at the Union County Fairgrounds in Afton.

In September 2017, the bank held a Shred Day so community members could securely destroy sensitive documents like old tax returns, bank statements and cancelled checks. That day

resulted in 1.5 tons of paper shred in two hours. And thus far, bank employees have cumulatively logged more than 300 volunteer hours in the community this year.

“We understand that community involvement is essential,” said Steve Crittenden, senior vice president at First National Bank in Creston.

“Our employees are encouraged to be key contributors to the s u c c e s s Crittenden of our neighbors, our youth and businesses and they truly thrive on helping others.

The countless hours our employees donate are truly remarkable.”

First National Bank is one of two charters within Northwest Financial Corporation, a family-owned organization led by Neal and Dwight Conover. Northwest Bank is the other charter within Northwest Financial Corporation and includes Northwest Wealth Management, LLC. Northwest Financial Corp. employs 425 team members and focuses on the importance of supporting a good balance between work and personal life.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I keep a small spray bottle with VINEGAR handy for many uses.

Since I live alone, it takes a while to use up all the cheese I buy, so I wrap the cheese in a paper towel and spray with vinegar. The cheese keeps much longer. I keep my dryer lint screen clean by spraying it with vinegar and then using a brush and soap and water to clean it. I also clean my non-fuzzy fruits and vegetables with vinegar. – Shirley S., via email QUICKIE FRENCH ONION SOUP Dear Heloise: I need a way to make French onion soup that’s not too difficult, because I love French onion soup, but I’m a terrible cook. – Tiffany D., Fall River, Mass.

Peel and slice about two to three large, white onions and saute the onions for a few minutes until brown.

Put the cooked onions into a saucepan. Add a packet of onion soup mix and the right amount of water, and simmer until ready to eat. Top with grated cheese.

If you need more recipes for easy soups, you’ll love

my pamphlet on Spectacular Soups. Just go to my website, www.Heloise.com, to order, or send $5, along with a stamped, self-addressed, business-size envelope, to: Heloise/ Soups, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. You’ll find that many people love to make a meal out of a good soup and warm, delicious bread. It is a great meal on a chilly afternoon. – Heloise COOKIE PLACE SETTINGS Dear Heloise: Here’s an idea for you: I hosted a luncheon for a group of eight women. Instead of having place cards, I went to a bakery and had them make chocolate cookies about the size of saucers, with the first name of each person written in chocolate icing on the top of each cookie. I then placed the cookies in the middle of each plate. My guests loved it! – Jennifer R., Fairborn, Ohio DINING HINTS Dear Readers: Here are some hints about eating out, and saving time and money: * Reservations are more easily made late in the day.

SUDOKU

There likely are cancellations and no-shows. * Lunch can cost half of what dinner costs. Sure, it’s less food, but portions are huge these days. * Figuring a tip in your head is easy. If your bill is $50, 10 percent is $5; 20 percent is $10. Fifteen percent is right in the middle. Always tip for good service. – Heloise EASY WAY TO OPEN A BOTTLE Dear Heloise: An easy way to open those pesky hard-toopen bottle tops: Place the container upside down on a round “gripper.” Push down and turn. Voila! – Norma P., Purcellville, Va. SAVE IT ALL Dear Heloise: Today, we call it “recycling”; back then we called it “necessary saving.” Even string – STRING! – had value.

My grandmother would repeat in Italian, “Imparare! Imparare!” – “Learn!

Learn!” To this day, I do things I learned then. – Erminia L., West Palm Beach, Fla. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Twins, Yankees get wild during 45-minute first inning NEW YORK (AP) — Talk about a wild start.

The Twins and Yankees took 45 minutes to play the first inning of Tuesday night’s AL wild-card game, heading to the second tied at 3 in a frantic, seesaw start to this year’s postseason.

Brian Dozier and Eddie Rosario homered for Minnesota to help chase New York ace Luis Severino after just one out, but the Yankees got all those runs back on a three-run shot from Didi Gregorius in the bottom half.

The first inning included 81 pitches, seven full counts, two mound visits and a historic pitching change.

Severino matched the shortest start by a Yankees pitcher in postseason history — joining Art Ditmar (three earned runs) from Game 1 of the 1960 World Series and Bob Turley (four earned runs) in Game 2 of the 1958 World Series. It was also the shortest outing in a winner-take-all postseason game since Game 5 of an AL Division Series in 2000, when Oakland’s Gil Heredia got only one out against the Yankees, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

Dozier drove Severino’s fifth pitch just over the wall in left field for the first leadoff homer in Twins postseason history. Three batters and a mound visit from Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild later, Rosario hit a two-run drive that narrowly cleared the fence in right.

At that point — 17 pitches into Severino’s night — reliever Chad Green started stretching in the bullpen.

A single and a double later, Severino’s day was done.

Fans booed the 23-year-old All-Star as he walked off, but teammates gathered around for hugs and encouragement as he entered the dugout.

The Mount Ayr Raiderettes exuberantly celebrate a point won during Tuesday’s 3-0 sweep of East Union. From left are Mount Ayr players Samantha Stewart (9), MacKenzie Shields (10), Alyssa Johnson (7), Hayley Whittington (8) and Jaycee Knight (behind Whittington).

MOUNT AYR — Tuesday evening’s final POI matchup was something that both East Union and Mount Ayr’s volleyball squads had looked anxiously looked toward.

Mount Ayr demonstrated just how prepared it was to grab the win, scoring the first eight points of the night on its way to a three-set win, 25-17, 25-19, 25-16.

The win secured a top seed for the Raiderettes in the upcoming Pride of Iowa Conference meet Monday, as the Raiderettes completed a 5-0 run in the POI West.

“It meant everything for them to be 5-0,” Mount Ayr coach Tori Braby said.

Matchups with EU are always a cause for excitement and Mount Ayr embraced Tuesday’s challenge.

Impressive serving leads to SWCC volleyball’s 10th win

Kailey Miracky spikes a ball past two Ottawa University players during Southwestern Community College’s 3-1 win Tuesday evening. SWCC’s next home contest will be Monday against Southeast Community College.

By CARTER ECKL

CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

With six of the next eight games at home, the Southwestern Community College Spartans got its second home win of the season 3-1 win over Ottawa University JV 25-18, 23-25, 25-14, 25-17.

The Spartans went on a tear over the end of the third set and into the fourth set, winning 27 of 35 total points. The run started at 8-8 in the third set when Jada Perkins smack a kill down the line, unreturned by the Braves.

A Sydney Maynes ace, followed by a string of service aces by Perkins quickly extended the Spartans lead in the third set to 23-11.

Maynes played in just her 11th match of the season, after returning a week and a half ago from injury. She is quickly showing why she is a threat for SWCC’s attack.

“I know my assistant (Lorensen) was at the game and when she came back he was like, ‘wow, she just changes the whole game right there,’” said head coach Aleesha Cleaver. “She is a force at the net, she can get from pinto-pin quickly and having two people that can get up like they can, her and

Kelcie, it’s definitely an advantage for us.”

Kelcie Shields had another impressive performance at the net with eight kills and a block.

The fourth set started with SWCC posting a 10-2 run thanks to quality serving and a handful of Braves errors.

Shields Hannah Ryan led the way in the final set with four kills. She finished with six total kills on the night.

Cleaver said the Spartans served aggressively, forcing the Braves out of their schemes and getting free balls back, especially with their serves.

The Spartans served up eight aces as a team, but placement is what caught Cleaver’s eye. “(Ottawa’s returns) would get unassisted, so they were sending free balls or down balls over and we’re getting something good on our side,” said Cleaver.

Cleaver said she is also excited to play multiple games at home over the next two weeks.

Creston native golfs for Iowa in national team event

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

SANTA FE, N.M. — Creston native Leanne (Owens) Smith of Norwalk was part of the Iowa team that placed 19th among 48 teams in the 12th and final USGA Women’s State Team Championship held Sept.

26-28.

Smith, a former Iowa State University golfer and former head women’s golf coach at Drake University, qualified to be a member of the Iowa team on a point system. She placed second at the Iowa State Amateur tournament this year, and her ranking was enhanced by other performances in IGA events such as the finish by her Echo Valley Country Club team in state team play competition.

Smith is a two-time U.S. Women’s Amateur contestant (2001, 2004) and was Des Moines women’s city champion twice (2002, 2004). This year, Smith shot 77-77-74 in placing second at the Iowa State Amateur at Hyperion Field Club in Johnston.

The winner of that tournament, 15-year-old Britta Snyder of Gilbert, joined Smith on the Iowa team in New Mexico.

The third member was Jenny Heinz of Cedar Falls.

Smith, 36, said she had connections to both teammates.

“This was the first one I was able to play in, and it was so much fun!” Smith said. “Britta Snyder is such a good young player. She’s already been recruited by Baylor. Her mom’s sister is Jay Horton, who was the men’s coach at Iowa State when I was Smith there. Jenny Heinz and I played during the same years in state junior tournaments. She was from Waterloo and played at UNI when I played at Iowa State.”

Snyder finished in the top 20 individually by shooting 7972-71 — 222 on the 6,267-yard course that played to a par of 72 on The Club at Las Campanas Sunrise Course.

Heinz shot 76-80-84 — 240 for the 54 holes and Smith shot 86-79-80 — 245. The best two scores from each team counted toward the team’s total play on each day.

Round two was rain-suspended and when play resumed, Iowa had moved into SMITH | 10A

Huskies take JV game, 24-14 WINTERSET — Winterset rallied past the Creston/O-M junior varsity Monday night, 24-14.

Andy Mills carried the ball 17 times for 158 yards, including a 6-yard touchdown, and had six pass receptions for 120 yards for the Panthers, now 1-4.

Quarterback Cole Strider connected with Mills for a 50-yard touchdown pass and finished 13 of 24 for 227 yards and three interception.

Eli Hartman had a team-high five tackles for the Panther defense.

“It was a very competitive game for our JV team,” said Kevin Cooper, co-coach of the junior varsity along with Jon

Thomson. “We had a full squad of players and were able to get a lot of kids on the field and get some really good live reps for them. We had some great second-half momentum and a lead, but we were unable to capitalize offensive on that momentum. A few miscues cost us in this game, but we were really proud of how the kids competed tonight.”

Rushing — Andy Mills 17-158, 1 TD. Passing — Cole Strider 13-24-3 for 227 yards, 1 TD. Receiving — Mills 6-120, 1 TD; Bryce Fitzgerald 1-30; Brayton Chesnut 2-33; Payton Pryor 2-28; Walker Patterson 1-15; Luke Latham 1-3; Matthew Borha 1-1.

Pryor smashed another winning point and Megan Mitchell showcased a hot serve with consecutive aces before Mount Ayr ripped off a four-point run to take a 16-10 lead.

Hayley Whittington and Klommhaus proved too much for the Eagles with both their net play and the former’s active movement to keep points alive and put pressure on East Union.

“Defensively that’s (Whittington) who I want to be passing the ball for sure,” Braby said. “In the front row, she knows where to place it. She’s been injured all season with a back inju-

ry, but she works through it when it’s needed.”

Klommhaus leaped skyward repeatedly on her way to 16 kills.

“We want the ball to come through Klommhaus’ hand to get the point,” Braby said. “I tell Alyssa when Klommhaus is hot, we’ve got to get her the ball.”

Eckels did her best to keep the Eagles in the first set, attacking high passes sent her way with aggression, but her nine kills proved not enough for East Union to get needed points.

Eckels got going again with her swing in the second set, as East Union grabbed an 11-8 lead.

Mount Ayr grabbed control back with a soft tap to the floor by Whittington and an ace by Jaycee Knight, and secured a 14-11 lead after a 6-0 run.

EU took advantage of some Mount Ayr mistakes to tie the match at 15, before Mount Ayr scored seven of the last eight points of the set as the Raiderettes again dominated at the net.

Two long service runs in set three led to a comfortable final set victory to end the night.

“Usually it’s Hayley in the back row, when she’s serving, she’s leading the conference in aces right now… when she’s serving, we’re usually getting quite a few points,” Braby said.

East Union continues to shuffle its young lineup, as the Eagles have endured some losses after a smoking hot start to the season.

SHENANDOAH — Creston charged from behind to nearly tie the match in the second set, only to fall short and lose 3-0 to Shenandoah on the Fillies’ senior night Tuesday.

Shenandoah improved to 3-4 in Hawkeye 10 play and 18-8 overall with the 25-14, 25-23, 25-7 victory. Creston fell to 2-5 and 7-10.

Earlier in the day, it was announced the same matchup would occur on the Fillies’ court on Oct. 18 to open Class 3A regional play. The winner will face Red Oak or Osceola Clarke on Oct. 24 at Red Oak. Creston has yet to win a set from Shenandoah, falling 2-0 in the Fillies’ tournament on Sept. 9. But, the second set Tuesday showed coaches Mallory Peterson and Naomi Sharp there is potential for a competitive match in the postseason.

“We had a great second set,” Peterson said. “They had gone on some long service runs in that first set.

Finally in the second set we got a run with MaKenna Hudson serving eight points. We were down 1422 and got it to 21-22. It was tied 23-23. Then we couldn’t quite close it out.”

The Panthers were un-

the field of 21 teams that made the cut for the final day of competition whittled down from the original 48 teams.

Team Iowa then ended up 19th shooting 155151-151 for a 25-over par total of 457. Tennessee won the event with a total score of 1-under par 431.

Collegiate players aren’t eligible, so Smith said the teams were made up of a combination of

TWINS: CONT. FROM | 8A

Green quickly restored a playoff energy to Yankee Stadium, striking out Byron Buxton and Jason Castro with runners at second and third to escape the jam.

Then the Yankees went to work on Twins starter Ervin Santana. Brett Gardner walked, Aaron Judge — showered with “MVP!” chants — poked a 3-2 pitch into center for a single and, two batters later, Gregorius drove another full-count

able to carry over any of that momentum in the 25-7 third-set loss.

“Errors hurt us,” Peterson said. “In that third set 15 balls were not returned over the net off the serve.

That’s not acceptable.

When we lose a point, we tend to drop our heads and lose focus. We have to have that next-point mentality, which is so important when the other team starts to get on a run. As a coach you’d hate to think this, but maybe we just got content that we were close to them in that second set.”

For the return match in two weeks, it will take the Panthers’ level of play in the second set Tuesday for an entire night.

“It has a lot to do with our energy on the floor,” Peterson said. “Especially in serve receive. We should be ready to go, and not have to react defensively. We should be able to play with them.”

Creston improved in the second set Tuesday when the switch was made from a 5-1 offense to a 6-2, with Taylor Buxton joining Breanna Ross as a setter.

That all o w e d Buxton Buxton to be the setter when she rotated to the back row, and Taylor Fredrickson to come in the front row when Ross rotated to the front.

The USGA’s State Team championships began in 1995 as part of the association’s centennial celebration. They were conducted on a biennial basis until 2010, when the men and women began alternating years.

After a two-year review process with state and regional golf associations, it was announced in March that the USGA would retire its State Team Championships at the end of the 2017 season.

“I love the way they responded,” New York manager Joe Girardi said during an in-game interview on ESPN. Gregorius flipped his bat to the ground and put his head d o w n , t h e n looked into the Y a n k e e s Molitor dugout, screamed and flexed. Todd Frazier was there at the rail-

of Hudson, the team’s sophomore libero. She had 12 digs, was 31 of 32 in passing serve receive, and was 15 of 15 serving.

“MaKenna’s passing was nails, and her serving was getting them out of system even if they weren’t aces,” Peterson said.

Senior Breanna W a l l a c e Hudson continues to thrive in her new middle blocker role, finishing with three timely blocks while tying Megan Haley for a team-high five kills.

UP NEXT — Creston hosts Glenwood (12-10, 4-3) on Thursday. The Rams earlier defeated Shenandoah 3-1, but lost 3-0 to Harlan and 3-0 to St. Albert on Tuesday.

“They started the FourBall Tournament and Senior Women’s Open and I think they just decided to move in a different direction,” Smith said.

She said it was fun playing on the Jack Nicklaus-designed course played in a challenging setting at 7,000 feet altitude.

“I was so glad I got to play in one before it ended. Before, with coaching and everything it just didn’t work out,” said Smith, coach at Drake until June 2015 and the

Shenandoah edged the Creston freshmen Tuesday, 24-26, 25-23, 15-9.

“We continue to show improvement and starting to be more consistent in our play, which is fun to see,” said Creston coach Mike McCabe. “We served pretty well (85 percent) as a team.”

“We were really happy to qualify for the final round,” Smith said. “We were right on the line of making the cut and had to wait until they resumed playing the next morning to find out if we made it.”

Two-time U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur champion Julia Potter, 29, of Indianapolis, Indiana, shot 6-under 210 to claim the individual medal.

Potter shot 2-under 70 in all three rounds.

Judge rounded the bases with a big grin and waited for Gregorius at the plate.

Santana labored more from there. He ran five full counts in a span of seven hitters, and Minnesota had Jose Berrios and Alan Busenitz warming in the bullpen after Gregorius’ homer. Santana got Aaron Hicks to ground out two batters later, though, escaping the inning after 42 pitches.

and then went on a run to get to 17-18 and tied it up at 19. Sam Dunphy had a big part in that run, as did Kelsey Fields. In the second set we got down to start again and never got back in it. We controlled the third set. Karly Calvin and Lexi Rounds did a great job in the back row. All around this was a good game for us. Seeing this team push through a three-set match is a positive.”

Dunphy was 9-12 hitting with six kills. Fields finished 16-20 with 11 kills. Calvin had nine digs and went 1212 at the service line with one ace. Rounds had six digs. Rylie Driskell split setting duties with Saige Rice and finished with 15 assists.
