Trial upcoming in Green’s lawsuit against city

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

The civil case of Steve Green vs. City of Creston, Water Works Board of Trustees is scheduled for a pretrial hearing Dec. 2 at the Wayne County Courthouse in Corydon.

The four-day trial by jury is currently set for Dec. 8.

A lawsuit was filed by Green Nov. 7, 2013, and originally set in Union County before a motion asked for a venue change.

It cited a new venue was nec-

essary because “the inhabitants of Union County are so prejudice against Plaintiff Steve Green that he is unable to obtain a fair trial with a jury in Green Union County.”

The motion included that Green’s role as the former general manager meant anyone that used the water from Creston Water Works could biased. It also included several articles from the Creston News Advertiser, saying the

Trial scheduled at Wayne County Courthouse in Corydon Dec. 8. Green asking for wages due under his contract. He believes auditor’s report “filled with conclusions unsupported by facts.”

coverage has allowed the public to form opinions before criminal charges have been filed.

A judge granted the venue change Oct. 21.

Green will be represented by Michael J. Carroll and Richard Owen McConville.

The City of Creston and the Water Works Board will be represent-

ed by Patrick D. Smith.

Background

Green — who was the former general manager at Creston Water Works for 34 years — was terminated in June 2013 by the water board after a special investigation report by the state auditor revealed almost $90,000 in improper and unsupported disbursements between July

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Flames engulfed at least a dozen businesses in Ferguson early Tuesday and gunfire kept firefighters at bay after protests over the decision not to indict a police officer in Michael Brown’s death turned violent, despite pleas for peace from Brown’s family and others.

He said most of at least a dozen burned businesses were “total losses” and noted two police cars were “basically melted.”

TRIP APPROVED

By BAILEY POOLMAN CNA staff reporter

bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Buongiorno!

That simple word, Italian for good morning, might be something some Creston High School students and staff will have to learn come 2016, when a trip to the European country is planned.

“We want to give the students the opportunity to travel overseas, so we’re proposing taking them to Italy over spring break in March of 2016,” said Creston High School English teacher Dannee Qualseth.

Creston Community School board members approved the trip abroad at the regularly scheduled meeting Nov. 17 when high school instructors Bailey Fry-Schnor-

meier, Qualseth and Anthony Donahoo presented the idea to the members.

Presentation “It’s been a dream of mine. I had the opportunity to travel when I was a junior in high Fryschool to Schnormeier London and Paris,” said Fry-Schnormeier, Creston High School art teacher. “Before that, I had all these other dreams and goals and things that I thought I wanted, and then I realized I loved Iowa, and I love open fields and green grass. I just learned so

much about myself in that very short time overseas and away from home. I feel like it’s an opportunity that we can’t teach in our classroom.”

The teachers held a brief meeting to gauge interest from families. There were 20 families present at the meeting, and even more have been e-mailing or stopping at the school for more information.

“We tried to create the space so it doesn’t run into the Washington, D.C., and New York trip, and the band trip is the year before,” Fry-Schnormeier said.

“Honestly, I didn’t know if there were students’ parents, families, who would entertain the idea, and there is overwhelming numbers.”

2005 and November 2012.

The lawsuit asks for Green to be paid the wages due under his contract, including vacation and sick leave because the breach of contract caused him financial harm.

Green and his lawyer believe the auditor’s report “is filled with conclusions unsupported by facts, inferences without basis, and incorrect conclusions about each of the alleged improper and unsupported disbursements.”

No criminal charges have been filed against Green at this time.

That case is being handled by the Iowa Attorney General.

Iowa residents struggling to pay heat bills DES MOINES (AP) — Many Iowa residents are having trouble paying their heating bills despite declining costs, including some who are still trying to pay off last winter’s bills.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration said Midwest consumers could see their bills decrease up to 38 percent depending on the fuel used to heat their

homes. But many Iowa residents are struggling to pay for heat, according to notices provided to the state’s utilities board through Nov. 1.

About 16,000 homes across the state didn’t have heat when cold temperatures hit the state last week, The Des Moines Register reported.

Jerry McKim, who oversees a

state heating assistance program for low income residents, said many families are still working to pay off bills from last winter, when conditions were especially harsh.

The average temperature during December, January and February was 14.7 degrees.

Ryan Buman said he and his family faced a disconnection notice this month. He had surgery

“We’ve pinched every penny we have,” said Buman, whose family lives in rural Polk County.

This year is the first time his family has asked for heating help, which protects them from disconnection until spring.

“It bruises your pride to ask for assistance, but we’ve got two little girls to feed and keep warm,” he said.

Iowa power companies reported that nearly 250,000 Iowa residents owed $47.7 million at the end of last year’s winter. The past-due amount owed by Iowa residents was reduced to nearly $47 million

At age 17, he hitchhiked to Iowa to pick corn during harvest. Later he and his parents and six of his brothers moved to Corning, Iowa where he bought a farm with his parents. In 1962, he moved to his present farm near Creston, Iowa.

said. “But I’ll be honest with you, unless we bring 10,000 policemen in here, I don’t think we can prevent folks who really are intent on destroying a community.”

Smashed window glass littered the sidewalks around many other businesses, from mom-and-pop shops to a McDonalds along the main drag. The Ferguson Market — where surveillance video had recorded Brown stealing cigars minutes before he was killed — was ransacked.

At least one building and several vehicles in a used car lot also burned in the neighboring city of Dellwood.

The vast majority of protesters had left the streets by late Monday, but looting and gunfire still were reported well after midnight.

Hundreds of people had gathered outside the Ferguson Police Department ahead of St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch’s news conference to announce the grand jury’s decision.

As McCulloch read his statement, a crowd gathered around a car from which the news conference was broadcast on a stereo.

“The world’s gotten a lot smaller. I mean, I can talk to them (students) about things, I could show them pictures of the Sistine Chapel, but for them to have the opportunity to stand underneath it is incredibly powerful,” Qualseth said.

The company, Explorica, is the same company Todd Jacobson, Creston High School history teacher, uses when he takes students to Washington, D.C., and New York City. Qualseth said the company employees have been responsive to any questions or concerns she, other teachers or parents and students have about the trip.

“I know it means a lot to the students,” Donahoo said.

“These kinds of trips, where you’re able to get out of the state and go somewhere new with new cultures and things like that is just, it’s awesome of Creston, son of George for the kids, it’s awesome Pennebaker, died Nov. 23, for me. I was definitely on board when I heard about 2014.

A short time later, Brown’s family issued a statement asking people to keep their protests peaceful, echoing pleas they had issued several times in the days and weeks leading up to the decision.

“Answering violence with violence is not the appropriate reaction,” the statement said.

But some protesters overran barricades and taunted police. Some chanted “murderer” and others threw rocks and bottles. The windows of a police car were smashed and protesters tried to topple it before it was set on fire, though some in the crowd tried to stop others from taking part in the violence.

Officers responded by firing what authorities said was smoke and pepper spray into the crowd. St. Louis County Police later confirmed tear gas also was used.

district-sponsored trip. Students will be raising the money themselves.

“It’s not necessarily sponsored by the school, but we have school people involved,” said Steve McDermott, Creston Community School District superintendent. “There will be folks

that feel like we sponsor this trip. And, while we don’t, we sure encourage it.”

Instead of doing regular fundraising like most school-sponsored organizations, Fry-Schnormeier, Qualseth and Donahoo are encouraging students to think outside the box to earn money.

“I stood in some pretty sacred amazing places. ... I was excited to come home, I was excited to see bread.

I was grateful for the people here. I think it heightens that appreciation for where I’m from,” Qualseth said.

“We want to help kids be creative because there are going to be kids who want to go whose families can’t afford to do that.”

The teachers have been working with parents to map out payment plans if necessary by figuring out the student’s strengths and interests. One parent, Fry-Schnormeier said, is a single parent and mapped out a plan for her daughter to earn money and pay for the trip by 2016.

“I want to breathe life into the stories. This is where the ‘Romeo and Juliet’ balcony is, and the power of that writing and that space is there,” Qualseth said. “The paintings and the architecture, and just the culture and experiences for them, it would just be exciting to put that opportunity out there for them.”

Branstad pardons 2 turkeys for annual tradition DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad has pardoned two turkeys as part of a Thanksgiving tradition.

Branstad read an official proclamation Monday for the pardon of the birds, named Cranber- Branstad ry and Cinnamon, at Terrace Hill.

Officials say the turkeys, from a farm near

Ellsworth, will now live at Living History Farms in Urbandale instead of possibly becoming cold cuts.

Branstad has been pardoning turkeys around Thanksgiving for years.

The Des Moines Register reports Monday’s ceremony included his grandchildren.

OPINION Keystone, climate change and the cold

It was a dramatic scene in the Senate this week. As Sen. Elizabeth Warren, presiding, announced the defeat of the Keystone XL pipeline, a Crow Creek Sioux man from South Dakota sang out in the Senate gallery. A massive people’s climate movement against extracting some of the dirtiest oil on the planet had prevailed ... at least for now.

It was a Democrat, Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, representing oil interests, who tried to push the pipeline through. She hoped its passage would help her in the Dec. 6 runoff election against her challenger, Congressman Bill Cassidy, who sponsored a similar bill in the House.

The Republicans have promised to reintroduce the bill when they take control of the Senate in January.

The coalition against the Keystone XL is broad-based. It includes environmentalists, indigenous activists, farmers and ranchers, concerned about both climate change and protecting their land. They are worried about an oil spill into the Ogallala Aquifer, one of the largest aquifers

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

in the world, which extends from South Dakota to Texas and provides water for millions of people. The name of one partner organization signals how unique this coalition is: the Cowboy and Indian Alliance.

Out in the sandhills and great plains of the West, residents who in the 19th century were more likely than not to be adversaries have joined together to confront TransCanada Corp.’s aggressive plan to force its pipeline through their land.

“The fight has just started,” Cyril Scott told me. He is the president of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe in South Dakota. “We have to gear up and be ready and start our own campaign to make sure we secure enough support to stop this black snake that’s going to harm not only Indian country, but

the United States of America.”

The Keystone XL pipeline’s primary function will be to move oil from the tar sands region of Alberta to port facilities on the South Texas coast, for shipping to overseas customers. It will enable expanded extraction of the tar sands, a form of oil that is much more environmentally destructive than other types.

Climate scientist James Hansen, former director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, wrote in The New York Times, “If Canada proceeds, and we do nothing, it will be game over for the climate.” Hansen is one of more than 1,200 people who were arrested in front of the White House, protesting Keystone XL. In years past, President Barack Obama claimed that if the Keystone XL pipeline were not approved, then TransCanada would build a pipeline that avoids the U.S. entirely, sending the oil through Canada, to either its east or west coast.

Naomi Klein says that argument doesn’t wash anymore. She is a cli-

mate activist and author of a new movement bible, “This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate.” The day before the Senate vote, she told me, “The tar sands are really surrounded by opposition. Everywhere they try to build a new pipeline or expand an existing pipeline, they’re facing fierce direct action as well as legal challenges by indigenous people and by other interests. So, the idea that if you don’t build Keystone, they’ll get it out anyway, is absurd.”

TransCanada is clearly worried about the movement. Leaked documents obtained by Greenpeace reveal that TransCanada has hired Edelman, the world’s largest public-relations firm, to wage a campaign against groups that are trying to block their pipeline projects. The documents reveal that Edelman has already created an “astroturf” group, a fake civic organization that promotes a pro-pipeline agenda, and proposes that 40 Edelman PR professionals will work to harass

and confound the protest groups.

President Obama signaled before the Senate vote that he has grown skeptical of the Keystone XL, and its proponents’ claims that it will create jobs and lower domestic gasoline prices: “Understand what this project is: It is providing the ability of Canada to pump their oil, send it through our land down to the Gulf, where it will be sold everywhere else.”

Meanwhile, another president, Cyril Scott of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, said in a statement: “We will close our reservation borders to Keystone XL. Authorizing Keystone XL is an act of war against our people.”

With record-breaking cold gripping the nation this week, and a year’s worth of snow dumping on Buffalo, N.Y., in a single day, we have to ask: What will it take to listen to the science, and to aggressively address the global threat of catastrophic climate change?

Letters to the editor

Train stops on tracks From M.D. Henderson BNSF retired

The train Mr. Stalker talks about in his letter on Nov. 20 may have had a mechanical failure and had to have a car set out on a side

track. It takes a little time to do that to get to the car or cars, set air, pull ahead, get the switch, push back, and do it all over again before the switchman can get on the train and head out. That may the reason for the delay.

There was no tape From Don Barnes Creston

I will try to be brief and concise.

Recently a hireling of the Creston Police Department stopped by and hand delivered a citation. Then hopped back in the police car and drove off.

The citation was for an incident at which the hireling was present.

The hireling stated that I yelled at an individual. The police hireling also stated several times that there was a tape recording of the incident (an audio tape). I was very anxious

to get a copy of this tape because it would prove at any court hearing that I did not yell what I was accused of. And also prove that the hireling was lying or shall we say, mistaken in what he said he heard.

I went to the police station to get a copy of this audio tape. I was told to come back the next day and bring $15 and I would be given a copy.

I went back the next day – and guess what? I was told there was no tape. Draw your own conclusions.

I’ve already drawn mine.

Bill Cosby did a show in the Bahamas HOLLYWOOD — Happy Tuesday, everybody, and God bless America.

The White House read with interest the reaction from European capitals to his speech granting amnesty to five million illegals on Thursday. In Berlin newspapers, the Germans described his speech as chilling, dictatorial and defiant, with no respect for the border. In other words, he had them at hello.

Adolf Hitler’s water-color painting of a Bavarian town hall he painted when he was twenty-five years old sold at auction in Germany Friday. The painting was well reviewed and it sold for a hundred and sixty grand. You know things are bad for Bill Cosby when Adolf Hitler and Charles Manson are having a better week.

Bill Cosby did a show in the Bahamas Thursday but not mention the drug-rape allegations. Two weeks ago he was accused by one woman, then seven, then ten and now seventeen. It appears that Bill Cosby slept with so many women you finally understand why he has to sit down during his concerts.

Corcoran State Prison officials in California confirmed Friday that Charles Manson and his fiancee Star will be married in a prison ceremony in December. Everyone can imagine how hard the bride’s family tried to stop her from doing this. Right now stripping looks like a Masters degree from Harvard.

Interpol searched Tanzania for warlords Friday after five giraffes were spotted being crammed onto a transport cargo plane which was

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

believed to be heading for the United Arab Emirates. They have a saying among African warlords.

Keep your friends close and your friends with Ebola less close.

Monaco’s National Day was highlighted Friday by an announcement from Prince Albert that he and Princess Charlotte are expecting twin babies in December. The tiny principality has a real talent for survival. Monaco is independent, but they’re protected by France, which means they’re on their own.

The Atlantic magazine ran an article Friday reporting that U.S.-Israel relations are at their lowest point in history. We go way back. God led the Israelites into the ONLY land in the Middle East with no oil under it to make sure that America would always love Israel for her personality, brains and character.

The Denver Post reported that a Joe’s Crab Shack restaurant franchise in Colorado was busted by police last week for selling alcohol to children. What can you do?

The restaurant’s management explained that they wanted to ask the kids for a photo ID, but they didn’t want to be labeled as racist.

President Obama’s amnesty order was protested in millions of emails and tweets Thursday. The

reaction was volcanic. No one wants to say that opponents are angry, but Michelle Obama just recommended that standing onstage and defending her husband is a good way to get your vegetables.

President Obama insisted on Thursday that every American is descended from immigrants. The Indians fell over laughing. If the Anglo-Saxons are immigrants to this country, then the ancient Roman legions marched into Gaul, Spain, Britain, Greece, Palestine and Egypt looking for hope and opportunity.

Mexican drug gangs were reported Thursday to be stealing oil from Mexico’s oil pipelines and smuggling the oil across the border into the United States. It’s so easy to smuggle. They just melt the oil down to powder form, then dye the powder white, and then the border guards just wave it through.

Mexico may start charging foreigners a twenty-eight dollar cover charge to enter Mexico. The Mexican government legalized user amounts of pot and cocaine and prostitution is allowed. Anyone who’s ever been to a New York after-hours club will agree that twenty-eight bucks is quite reasonable.

A Chinese government think tank recommended to the ruling Politburo in Beijing that China get rid of its one-child-per-family law. The report informed the government that China doesn’t have enough children. To give you an idea of how bad the situation is, some factories are being forced to hire adults.

Don’t just trash it!

Dear Readers: If you are like most people, you are surrounded by papers at home and at work! Between mail (especially junk!) and important documents, it’s sometimes daunting to know what to keep and what to throw out! Here are a few examples of PAPERS that should not just be thrown in the trash, but need to be shredded to protect your privacy: * Old, canceled checks and pay stubs. (Keep checks relating to property purchases, etc., until no longer needed.) * Anything with PIN (personal identification number) or financial-account numbers. * Tax-related paperwork and W-2 forms. Three to seven years is the general guideline, but not for the actual income-tax form itself — keep your federal and state income-tax filings forever. * Papers with birthdates, Social Security numbers or signatures should be shredded before being placed in the trash. * Medical records or receipts you no longer need. * Unsolicited mailings for credit cards! What a waste of paper and resources!

— Heloise CANDLE CAUTION Dear Heloise: You recently wrote about the dangers of having lit candles unattended. I had electric candles in all of my

Hints from Heloise windows during the Christmas season. Returning home following Christmas service, one of the candles had fallen from the window to the floor and burned a hole in the carpet. I didn’t realize that such a small bulb would do that much damage. Perhaps you would like to warn your readers. — Irene H., Douglassville, Pa. Yikes! Thanks for the note of caution. The “no flame” candles with a bulb are a very good, safe alternative to a real candle with a flame, but do take care.

It’s probably best to unplug or turn them off when leaving the house. — Heloise SLOW-COOKER DRESSING Dear Heloise: I make my mother’s cornbread dressing recipe for Thanksgiving. Since there never is enough oven space to bake the turkey, vegetable dishes and hot rolls at the same time, I began “baking” my dressing in a slow cooker for three hours on the “high” setting. I stir it several times while it cooks. It is always moist on

the inside and crusty on the outside, just the way we like it. — Cindi C., Longview, Texas EARRING HOLDER Dear Heloise: While looking for something to hold her earrings, my sister saw a pretty wire mesh in a frame, but it cost quite a bit. She looked around and found the perfect holder: a kitchen splatter screen.

I added the idea of using ornament hooks, sold at Christmastime. They can hold necklaces and bracelets. Also, since the splatter screen has a hole in the handle, it can be hung on a wall to show off or display your lovely jewelry. — M.H. in Dallas HANGER PADS Dear Heloise: Don’t throw away those shoulder pads that you remove from garments.

Burkholder said doctors are “75 percent” of the way toward a definitive diagnosis, and that Berry was on his way to Atlanta to be examined by specialists at Emory University.

“They may do further scans. In all likelihood, they’ll do a biopsy of one of the lymph nodes or the mass,” Burkholder said.

Burkholder spoke during a somber news conference attended

by Chiefs coach Andy Reid, general manager John Dorsey, team president Mark Donovan and chairman Clark Hunt.

Berry issued a statement in which he said he was “in shock” but promised to battle the illness.

Defense fuels Panthers in season-opening blowout

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — The Brent Douma era of Creston girls basketball got off to a roaring start here Monday, in a 63-8 blowout of Lamoni in the first round of the Raiderette Tip-Off Classic.

Defense was the name of the game for the Panthers, as Creston’s quickness and length proved to be problematic for Lamoni.

“I was happy with the way we played defensively tonight,” Douma said.

“I thought our trap, the second half especially, was really good. That third quarter, we kind of turned things up.”

The Panthers held a 10-2 lead at the end of the first quarter and a 25-6 lead at halftime, but it was the second half were things really got going for the Panthers.

Natalie Mostek picked one of her gamehigh six steals, t h e n dished to Taylor Briley for a layup. N. Mostek Briley was fouled on the play and sank the free throw to make it a 32-6 Panther lead.

Lamoni followed with a putback basket by Jennifer Eason off an offensive rebound to make the score 32-8 with just under six minutes left to play in the third quarter.

Creston sophomore Lexie Little closely guards Lamoni ballhandler Karli Smith during the first half of Creston’s 63-8 win over the Demons on Monday. Little recorded three steals in the win.

The Demons never scored again, as the Panthers went on a 32-0 run to end the game.

Mostek scored on a drive and then collected another steal, going all the way down the floor for a layup to jump start the shutout run.

After a Lamoni timeout, Briley got a steal and dished to Brenna Baker for a layup, making it 38-8.

Defense produced five of the six fourth quarter baskets for the Panthers, as Briley got a steal and found Mostek for a 3-pointer to make it 55-8.

Bomb squad hot in exhibition Creston makes 14 3-pointers in win over Lenox

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

The Creston boys basketball team came out firing from long range in a public exhibition against Lenox Monday night on the Panthers’ court.

Creston made 14 3-pointers — including four by junior guard Cooper McDermott — in defeating the Tigers McDermott 78-41.

Senior all-stater Jay Wolfe led the Panthers with 21 points in three quarters, on a mix of perimeter shots (two 3-pointers), drives to the basket and transition layups off one of several Panther

steals.

While lacking a lot of post presence near the hope against a Lenox team featuring 6-8 junior Spencer Brown, the Panthers showed athleticism on defense and in transition to go with the outside marksmanship. Seven different Creston players mae 3-pointers as coach Brett Watson used his JV throughout the final period.

“Fourteen threes, I’ll take that any day,” Watson said.

“We put a lot of time into it. Summer, the fall, even in practice. Each kid averages 70 to 80 made threes every practice. It’s nice to see it pay off a little bit.”

The Panthers started with an all-senior lineup of guards Sam Hartsock, McClain Haines and Christian Groumoutis and forwards Please see EXHIBITION, page 8A

racing down the court for a layup. Another Baker steal resulted in a Caitlin McIlravy layup to make it 59-8.

Then it was Lexie Little with a steal, finding Maria Mostek for a layup. The final score of the night came off a Jessica Beatty steal, who hit Baker for a layup.

Creston held Lamoni to just three made field goals for the game.

“Even when we played man defense, we played really pretty well,” Douma said. “Pretty solid defensively. I would say, if I have one complaint on our defensive end, is we didn’t always rebound the best.

We gave up some second and third shots a couple of times.”

After a tentative start to the game, Douma said it was nice to get things rolling in the second half.

“Our girls were really nervous for the first half of the game,” he said. “At halftime, we just said relax and play. We went on that 25-2 run in the third quarter and that just broke the game open.”

Mostek filled the stat sheet for the Panthers with 22 points, including three 3-pointers, to go with 12 rebounds, six steals and three assists. Briley added 12 points, while Jenna Tay-

lor scored n i n e and Alli Thomsen finished with eight points and four Thomsen assists.

“I was really happy with the way we passed the ball and moved the ball from side to side and got the ball inside,” Douma said. “You can tell, we’re just an unselfish group. They do look to pass to the open girl.”

The win advances the Panthers to tonight’s championship game (7:30 p.m.) of the Raiderette Tip-Off Classic against host Mount Ayr, which defeated Lamoni 76-32 on Monday (see related story).

“Early on here, they look pretty good,” Douma said about Mount Ayr. “They’ve got a little size and some youth that’s pretty good. It will be a lot different game tomorrow night. It should be a good game. If people can get out to see it, we’d love to have them.”

Balanced offense leads Mount Ayr to victory

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Four different Mount Ayr players scored in double figures, as the Raiderettes rolled past Orient-Macksburg here Monday in the first round of the Raiderette Tip-Off Classic, 76-32.

With the win, the host Raiderettes advance to tonight’s 7:30 championship game against Creston. Orient-Macksburg will play Lamoni in the consolation game at 6 p.m.

“I thought we executed,” Mount Ayr head coach Thad Streit said. “We did a lot of nice things. Our offense is coming together, our zone offense. We were really patient and waiting for the right spot.”

The Raiderettes put the game away early, scoring 17 straight points to open the game, before Katie Walter ended Orient-Macksburg’s scoreless drought with a basket.

Mount Ayr held a 27-2 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Tess Shields led the Raiderettes with 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the floor, w h i l e M e g a n T. Shields Warin added 17.

Kelcie Shields scored 14 and Allie Shields finished with 10.

Ashton Johnson recorded seven assists, while Warin dished out four assists and had six steals. Blair Glendenning also finished with four assists.

“Your defense is always going to be ahead of your offense,” Streit said. “But I thought the last three days of practice and tonight, it’s like the light bulb came on and we were making tremendous passes and picking on the right spot on defense. Defensively, I thought we gave up some points we shouldn’t have gave up.”

Lisa Moss hit a 3-pointer in the second quarter for the Bulldogs, and Shannon Eads sank four free throws, as Orient-Macksburg trailed 44-13 at halftime.

Eads and Moss both hit multiple 3-pointers in the second half. Eads finished with 14 points and Moss added 13 for the Bulldogs.

“We struggled with rebounding, getting too far underneath the hoop and kind of giving up on defense,” Orient-Macksburg head coach Kim DeJongh said. “Seven girls, first game. We haven’t had a whole lot of live action.

This was our first live game Please see RAIDERETTES, page 8A

While Mount Ayr’s size made life difficult for Orient-Macksburg, the Raiderettes took a big blow in the third quarter, when Kelcie Shields left the game with an an- K. Shields kle injury.

In addition to her 14 points, she recorded eight rebounds and three blocked shots.

“She’s hurting,” Streit said. “She’s a tough kid. She doesn’t cry. We don’t need any more injuries. We’re just getting kicked all over the place.”

In addition to Kelcie Shields’ ankle injury, the Raiderettes are already without Macy Larsen (torn ACL), Kiersten Dolecheck (hip surgery) and Sadie Frost (mononucleosis).

If Kelcie Shields is able to play tonight, Streit likes the matchup against Creston.

“We’d match up well then with Natalie (Mostek) and Jenna (Taylor),” he said.

“Our bigs vs. their bigs would be a good matchup. I think both teams are kind of

McDermott came off the bench and popped all four of his treys in the first two periods as the Panthers took a 35-19 halftime lead.

“We’re going to be kind of European style,” Watson said. “People who can spread the floor and take you off the dribble and shoot it. We know we’re not going to have the size of some teams, including a week from Friday at Glenwood. Defensively we’ll have to mix some things up to make it tough on them.

I liked the spark we came out with in the third quarter tonight.”

JUNIOR VARSITY The Creston JV team opened the season with a 43-24 win over Mount Ayr on Monday.

“For the first time out, we played fairly well,” Creston JV coach Ryan McKim said. “The effort and ener-

gy was good. Caitlin (McIlravy), Madison (Callahan) and Alli (Thomsen) had strong nights offensively.

As expected, we have plenty to work on, but it was a good start.”

McIlravy led the way with 14 points, while Callahan added 10 and Thomsen finished with nine.

Creston (43) — Caitlin McIlravy 14, Madison Callahan 10, Alli Thomsen 9, Jessica Beatty 4, Logan Pettit 2, Lexie Little 2, Becca Ross 2.

Thank You...

two small words that mean so much.

The family of Sharon Walter

would like to say thank you to everyone for the prayers, compassion, love and support shown to us as we mourn her passing and continue to celebrate her life. We are overwhelmed and grateful for the outpouring of food, phone calls, memorial gifts, cards and personal messages.

A special thank you to Clearview Home and Hospice of Southwest Iowa who loved and cared for her as her disease progressed, and she began her journey toward heaven. She had a generous spirit who touched many lives. She was a teacher of faith, a giver of hope, and God’s earthly example of love. She will be forever missed, but her legacy will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

Thanksgiving travel woes? There’s an app for that The Wednesday through Sunday period will see more than 46 million Americans travel at least 50 miles from home ■

Traveling by plane, train or automobile can be a headache. Mixing in Thanksgiving can make it a throbbing migraine. Technology provides some pain relief in the form of apps to let you know which roads are clogged, what gate your flight leaves from and whether trains are running on time.

The American Automobile Association forecasts that the Wednesday through Sunday period will see more than 46 million Americans travel at least 50 miles from home — the most Thanksgiving road warriors since 2007.

About nine in 10 are expected to drive — or be driven — with about 3.6 million flying.

Here are some ways to make the journey a bit less taxing.

Planes FlightAware tracks not only your flight’s status but also any delays or

cancellations, even gate changes. Set it up for a specific trip and it will send alerts so you don’t have to keep checking for changes.

Seats matter, especially if you’re traveling with kids. The ExpertFlyer app has a feature called “seat alert,” which informs you when a seat you want to snag becomes available.

If you have the pleasure of a connecting flight, consider FlightBoard.

Every five minutes, it updates with the latest from airport departure boards at over 3,000 airports worldwide. If you’re picking up at the airport, it’s one way to find out whether the flight will land on time.

Or, if you want to keep it simple, get the app of the airline you’re flying.

That will typically let you do things such as get a boarding pass or — gulp — rebook your flight.

Trains While Amtrak has an app that lets you make or change reservations and check the status of your train, local and regional public transit doesn’t have the same range of resources as air travel.

At least 70 percent of larger transit

agencies have apps that offer real-time travel information, according to Darnell Grisby, director of policy development and research at the American Public Transportation Association. As for using your phone to buy and manage tickets — that’s not as common an option, but some agencies offer it.

Automobiles

Traffic apps are a familiar friend for many commuters. Some, such as Sigalert, offer color-coded highway maps — red for “jammed up,” yellow for “slow,” green for “full speed ahead.”

Sometimes the data that inform the maps are just outdated enough that they can lead a driver onto a freeway that may have been traffic-free five minutes ago, but now has a building bottleneck.

The popular app Waze tries to solve that problem by asking drivers to report traffic and other problems, which the app then shares with other users.
