MORE ABOUT HIM

“I think he represents all that is good about our community.”

That’s how Creston Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Ellen Gerharz described Roger Lanning, who has donated his time and energy to several community functions and organizations over the years.

Lanning, a consumer real estate loan officer for Iowa State Savings Bank, said it himself – he never set out to be a community leader.

And yet, here he is. Lanning will be recognized as Creston’s Citizen of the Year during the Creston Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Meeting 6 p.m. Thursday at Supertel Inn and Conference Center.

“I would say surprised and humbled, I guess. I certainly wasn’t expecting it,” Lanning said about receiving the award. “Obviously, it’s an honor. I feel, I guess, a little

• Graduated from Green Mountain High School just outside of Marshalltown in 1982 and from University of Iowa in 1987 with a business degree • Moved to Creston in July 1989 with his wife, Julie, to work in retail at the recently remodeled Spurgeon’s store • Work history includes Spurgeon’s, Creston News Advertiser as advertising director, First Federal Savings Bank and Iowa State Savings Bank • Family: Wife, Julie; son Matt and wife Kelsey of Kansas City and Eric of Minneapolis • Hobbies: Watching sports, especially the Iowa Hawkeyes; geocaching and fishing bit embarrassed. I’m not sure what I’ve done to deserve it. If it’s Balloon Days, the reason I do Balloon Days is I love hot air balloons and I love the event. But, what makes it doable is we have so many great volunteers on the committee.”

In fact, Lanning’s work as chairperson of the Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days for the past 11 years played a key role in him receiving the award.

In addition to being the figurehead for Balloon Days for

the past 11 years, Lanning is also involved with the airport commission, the airport zoning board and Creston Kiwanis Club, of which he is a past president and board member.

He is also a past president and member of the Creston Chamber of Commerce board and has served as both a deacon and elder for First Presbyterian Church in Creston.

If you were lucky enough to catch the fifth-annual KSIB Tractor Ride this past June, leading the pack was Creston’s Volunteer of the Year, Richard Wenzig.

“He has always been willing to help us out from the inception of the KSIB Tractor Ride,” said KSIB General Manager Chad Rieck.

“He goes out with my father, Dave, and together they determine the route to make sure it is safe.”

Wenzig, 69, has traveled the nation with his antique tractors in various competitions and rides. He wanted to bring that atmosphere to Creston and show his friends and fellow tractor riders the beauty and hospitality of southwest Iowa.

“I got ahold of Dave Rieck and I said, ‘Why doesn’t KSIB put on a tractor ride?’”

Wenzig said. “He said I was going to have to be the ramrod because he didn’t know how to get one started.”

Wenzig’s main stipulation

was to keep the ride free for the participants so they could enjoy the camaraderie of the event. In the first year, Wenzig said they had 157 tractors and the event has grown to more than 300.

His focus is on the community, helping older generations reminisce about their youth and helping youth understand the blood, sweat and pride that went into the tractors that helped shape the place we call home.

When the call came that his name was proposed as Creston’s Volunteer of the Year, Wenzig didn’t see it coming.

“I was kind of shocked; I guess it caught me off guard more than anything,” Wenzig said. “I’ve always been energetic in helping people and making things happen.”

McKinley Park After his time in the service, Wenzig started working in construction and eventually started his own business which he still runs today, Wenzig Construction. He mainly focuses on soil conservation work and building ponds and terraces.

Wenzig has donated his time and equipment to mul-

tiple projects around McKinley Park. He helped level the pad for the shelter house and parking lot at Taylor Park.

He also helped clean up the wooded area directly behind the Girl Scout cabin at McKinley Park.

“This year, the committee decided on Richard because of all the work he has done out at the park,” Creston Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Ellen Gerharz said. “A lot of people don’t know the magnitude of the time and effort he has put in out there.”

Wenzig’s clearing work at McKinley Park created enough space to put in a track to improve Creston’s antique tractor pull during the Fourth of July celebration. The permanent track has added to the appeal for sponsors to contribute to the event, making it more inviting for the competitors as they compete for prize money.

“He single-handedly took an area that couldn’t be used and turned it into a nice spot for the Fourth of July event,” said John Kawa, Creston WENZIG | 2A

YOUTH OF THE YEAR

‘Respect and provide a service to others’

By BAILEY POOLMAN Future Business Leaders of charity that helps those with “She’s a really big force within CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

For Rachel Shepherd, providing a service comes naturally.

Shepherd, who won Creston Chamber of Commerce Youth of the Year award, is an active volunteer in school and outside.

“My whole family is that way, and it’s shown me to give back and provide for others,” Shepherd said. “Even with coaches and teachers, they show how they’re helping others and providing a service and I want to pass that on to others.”

Shepherd, 18, is a senior at Creston Community High School. She runs cross country and track and is a member of

America (FBLA). She is also a member of Crest Baptist Church, where she participates in Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Crest Baptist youth group.

Shepherd received a call last week from Ellen Gerharz, director of Creston Chamber of Commerce, who told Shepherd she received the award.

“I didn’t think that of all people that I would be the first person they would nominate,” Shepherd said. “I was really honored that I was the person they would nominate.”

Volunteering Shepherd volunteers in FBLA, which is a school organization that teaches students to be leaders. Her favorite organization to work with was Ronald McDonald House, a

lower incomes have a place to stay during times such as children hospitalizations.

“One of the things that really stood out to me about Rachel is that even from the time that she was a freshman, she wasn’t afraid to get involved,” said Shannon Smith, FBLA instructor. “She’s the kind that has pretty big goals for herself and is looking to get involved in things that she thinks will help her in her future. And, from the start in FBLA, she was highly active.”

The first year Shepherd became an officer, her sophomore year, she was the youngest officer the Creston chapter had ever had up to that point.

“She was very active, and then she got that experience leading people,” Smith said.

The Ronald McDonald House project came about when FBLA students decided to hold a fundraiser during a wrestling meet in January 2016. She was not the lead in the organizing committee, but she helped organize the event from its infancy to well after it occurred.

“It showed me more of what I’m helping and how many people I didn’t know that were helped by Ronald McDonald,” Shepherd said of talking to those from the Creston area who had first-hand experience with the charity.

Deaths Christene Solomon Evanston, Wyo.

Christene Louise Solomon was born Sept. 12, 1935.

She was the first born of J o h n W. and Louise Busby of Clearfield.

C h r i s - Solomon t e n e received her education at Clearfield Community School. As a young girl, she struggled with asthma and because of this condition, spent many summers away from her family in Iowa to live in the drier climate of Colorado with extended family.

In May 1953, Christene married Bill D. Fearnot.

She resided in Clearfield while Bill served in the Army. Upon his return, they farmed west of Clearfield on her grandparents’ farm.

Bill and Christene were blessed with two daughters, Kathy and Connie. Due to her continued struggle with asthma, the family moved to Fort Collins, Colorado, in 1958. Christene was fortunate to be a stay-at-home mother. When her daughters were young adults, she worked at a bank in the printing department. This sparked an interest in the business and later, she went on to start her own in-home printing business. Because she enjoyed this business, it became a hobby as well as a job.

Christene married E. Dale Solomon on Sept.

2, 1983. Dale worked for Amoco Oil and therefore, they resided in Evanston, Wyoming. Christene continued to enjoy her printing business and met people in the community by doing printing jobs for various businesses. Christene loved to travel. She especially enjoyed going to Las Vegas and taking a cruise. She truly enjoyed her many years of volunteering at the Evanston Hospital gift shop.

In their retirement years, a park model was purchased in Beaver Dam, Arizona, and they began wintering

there. Christene very much enjoyed her friends “down South.” Each fall, she would spend days getting things cleaned and prepared for heading to Arizona for the winter. She prepared foods to put in the freezer, but most notably, made dozens of cookies and cupcakes to share at the clubhouse with her friends. She was known as the “Cupcake Lady” among her friends at the retirement park because she always had cupcakes to celebrate everyone’s birthday. Christine had very high hopes for returning to Beaver Dam again this year.

Christene battled heart-related issues the last several years of her life. She ultimately lost her life due to a heart that just could no longer function properly.

She passed Nov. 3, 2016, at University of Utah Hospital.

On Sept. 16, 1951, Dave married N. Kathryn Doughty in Jamesport, Missouri. Dave taught music in Milan, Missouri, for two years before moving to Creston, where he taught instrumental music for 40 years.

He was also a golf coach for 20 years in Creston.

Dave was a member of First United Congregational Church; Elks, for which he once served as exalted ruler; and Crestmoor Golf and Country Club, where he served a term on the board of directors.

In 1976, after returning to Creston, they bought interests in Creston Arts and Gifts and later bought the entire business and began teaching a variety of classes in tole painting and china painting.

Carolyn was a member of First Baptist Church in Creston, Arts Council in Creston, Creston’s China Painting Club, an active member in the Union County Republican Party and Gideon Auxiliary.

much we had helped them.”

Growing up Shepherd is like many who put forth the time and effort to volunteer and help those in need. She was raised to provide a service when she can, thanks in part to her parents, Leona and Steve Shepherd, grandmother and several older cousins.

“With family, we’re always told to respect and provide a service to others and help others when you can,” Shepherd said.

And, she always had. Shepherd recounted her mother helping her find canned goods in the pantry or purchasing some to donate to a good

Wenzig started competing in tractor pulls in 1982 and won several national titles and point championships. He also served on the National Antique Tractor Pulling Board as the head of the technology committee to ensure all competitors’ equipment was in regulation.

Wenzig has sold a majority of his tractors and semi-retired from competition but still loves to travel with his wife, Ann, to various pulls and rides to see friends.

Future plans Volunteering went well beyond her youth group and FBLA. For Shepherd, one of the most important things in deciding where to go to college was the volunteering aspect at that school. She said Morningside College encourages the students to volunteer.

involved in the community,” Lanning said. “I think it’s just happened through time.

Creston’s been good to me; it’s given me a few opportunities and different careers I hadn’t anticipated.”

Gerharz has worked with Lanning in various capacities for the past approximately 15 years.

She really began to learn about Lanning during his time as board president of the Chamber of Commerce.

“He’s never disappointed me,” Gerharz said. “He’s one of those people out there that if he says he’s going to do something, he’s going to do it. In my world, that’s re- Gerharz ally important. A lot of people talk the talk but don’t necessarily walk the walk. He seems to get along with most people.”

Gerharz credits Lanning’s pleasant disposition as one of the reasons he’s so easy to work with. “(He deserves the award) because of all the activities he is involved in,” Gerharz said.

“He’s very generous with his time for numerous groups and organizations.”

In addition to spending nearly three straight months hammering out the final details for Balloon Days, Lan-

ning also served as one of the local contacts and organizers for the Iowa Geocachers Organization’s Hike-N-Seek event, which was held in Creston the weekend following Balloon Days.

And, he’s still found time to support various Creston High School activities.

Lanning said as he’s become more involved, more groups have sought his participation. At times, he’s had to say no. That’s why he was surprised and humbled to win the award.

“I know the RAGBRAI committee people were very busy and did an excellent job,” Lanning said. “That’s why it’s interesting to win this award this year when there were so many committee members that did an excellent job to put on RAGBRAI. Any of them could have won it, as well.”

Lanning came to Creston in 1989 and planted his roots here, raising his two children, Matthew and Eric, in the community with his wife, Julie.

He’s changed his career path several times – from retail to advertising at the Creston News Advertiser to a seven-year stint at First Federal Savings Bank before his current job at Iowa State Savings Bank.

But, the one constant has been Creston.

“Creston’s a great community,” Lanning said. “But, we need people to get involved to continue to make it what it is and make it better every day. Especially, we need younger people.”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, November 8, 2016

Preparing for the new president HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The New York Times reported on Monday that Mexico’s government was making contingency plans on what to do if Hillary or Trump won the election. They’ve reacted rationally after watching the American electorate for two years. Mexico decided to build a wall no matter who wins the election.

The Hollywood Reporter said Donald Trump’s effective campaign despite his past history of womanizing opened the door for Hollywood stars to run. Obama himself admitted to past cocaine use and won. If you thought Trump-Clinton was wild, the stage is set in four years for Clooney vs.

Sheen.

FBI Director James Comey de-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

cided to close the Hillary e-mail probe Sunday eight days after he reopened it. It surprised no one.

Normally, James Comey doesn’t reverse himself on deciding to investigate a crime, but apparently he found his suicide note while going through Clinton’s e-mails.

FBI Director James Comey changed course just before the election and cleared Hillary of the e-mail scandal he’d re-opened eight days earlier. Moral considerations don’t appear to be at play.

Washington D.C. is like Hollywood in that a clear conscience is

likely to be an early sign of Alzheimer’s.

Jim Comey on Saturday announced that he was clearing Hillary of prosecution in the e-mail scandal. This helped the Democrats after he helped the GOP by re-opening the probe 12 days ago. Where does Comey even get the time to read Hillary’s e-mails while rigging the election for both sides.

California’s governor’s race along with hot-button ballot propositions drew a good percentage of voters to the polls in the Golden State. Some are long overdue.

Californians would have voted to legalize marijuana years ago, but the signature gatherers kept forgetting where they left the petitions.

The London Daily Telegraph

reported new developments in the world of women’s reproductive services on Saturday. A British sperm bank in London announced it has set up a website where women can find anonymous sperm donors online. We already have an app for that, it’s called Tinder.

Bill Clinton’s Attorney General Janet Reno died in her sleep after a long illness Sunday. What a character. In addition to being America’s first female Attorney General, she held the distinction of being the only woman in Washington D.C. that Bill Clinton never sexually harassed besides Hillary.

U.S. jets pummeled ISIS positions in Mosul as Iraqi forces entered the city Thursday. No one’s suggesting we try dealing with ISIS peacefully. Maybe we should

show the terrorists video footage of Americans using self-checkout lanes at the grocery store, then they’d know we pose no threat to them.

NBC News reports a Minnesota company called Ideal Conceal invented a two-shot pistol that folds up into a replica of a smart phone.

The banks aren’t going to like this invention. It allows the entire Millennial generation to get out from under its oppressive student loan debt by taking a selfie.

North Korean warplanes staged a mock air raid on dummy civilian targets Friday in an effort to try to intimidate South Korea. Satellite photos of the dummy buildings showed an exploded warehouse.

South Koreans haven’t seen anything like it since the last Samsung shareholders meeting.

Letter to the editor

Thank you sincerely for your help From Sharon Eklund – Afton and Kathy Haines – Des Moines

Many thanks to the “Drew Crew” from First Baptist Church in Creston who so willingly, happily and expertly raked and disposed of leaves at my mother-in-law’s house in Creston last Saturday.

We had worked several hours and only made a dent in the front yard, and in a short time, the front

and back yard plus the gutters were clean and the outside windows washed.

This was a wonderful gesture of Christian service and caring for your neighbor. When I showed pictures of the kids to my motherin-law at the care center, she was very happy, but not as happy as we two “seniors” were to have a big job so well done.

Thank you sincerely for your help!

2016

President Barack Obama foreshadowed more complications for the Dakota Access Pipeline this week, as he told an interviewer that “right now the Army Corps is examining whether there are ways to reroute this pipeline.” With hundreds arrested in recent weeks at the Standoff at Standing Rock, North Dakota, the movement to halt construction of this 1,200-mile, $3.8 billion oil pipeline only builds.

Musicians are increasingly joining the fray, striking an unexpected chord: pressuring oil billionaire Kelcy Warren, CEO of Energy Transfer Partners, which owns the pipeline. Warren also owns a small music label and recording company, and is the founder and driving force behind the Cherokee Creek Music Festival in Texas. Many musicians, including folk/rock legend Jackson Browne, are banding together to confront Warren and help stop the pipeline.

In a statement published in September by Indian Country Today Media Network, Jackson Browne wrote: “I met Kelcy Warren on one occasion, when I played at the Cherokee Creek Music Festival, held at his ranch. Later his company, Music Road Records, produced an album of my songs. Though I was honored by the ‘tribute’ and think highly of the versions – which were done by some of my favorite singers and songwriters, I had nothing to do with producing the recordings or deciding who would be on it.”

Jackson continued: “I do not support the Dakota Access Pipeline.

I will be donating all of the money I have received from this album to date, and any money received in the future, to the tribes who are opposing the pipeline.” The album Browne referenced is titled, “Looking Into You: A Tribute to Jackson

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

Browne.”

Emily Saliers and Amy Ray, better known as the folk duo the Indigo Girls, have been to the Standing Rock resistance camps, where thousands have been facing off against an increasingly violent, militarized police force that is facing down the Native American water protectors with attack dogs, armored personnel carriers, pepper spray, concussion grenades and deafening acoustic cannons. In addition to raising awareness and funds for the land and water protectors at Standing Rock, the Indigo Girls are organizing musicians to challenge Kelcy Warren directly.

“Kelcy Warren also happens to be a passionate music lover and owns a festival, Cherokee Creek music festival,” they wrote in a recent Facebook post. “Indigo Girls have played the festival and had a song on the [Jackson Browne] tribute record. When we participated in those events, we had no idea about Kelcy Warren’s connection to big oil and its imminent threat to the Standing Rock Sioux. Now we know.”

They wrote a letter to Warren, which was co-signed by Jackson Browne, Shawn Colvin, Joan Osborne, Keb’ Mo’ and others. It read, in part, “We realize the bucolic setting of your festival and the image it projects is in direct conflict with the Dakota Access Pipeline ... this pipeline violates the Standing Rock Sioux Nations’ treaty rights, endangers the vital Missouri River, and

continues the trajectory of genocide against Native Peoples.” The letter concluded, “We will no longer play your festival or participate in Music Road Records recordings. We implore you to stop construction of the Dakota Access pipeline.”

Kelcy Warren is a Texas oil billionaire several times over, and might not be easily deterred by a threatened boycott. In fact, when global oil prices began dropping, “Nobody was happier about the crash than Energy Transfer Chairman and CEO Kelcy Warren,” Bloomberg Markets reported. All his competition, Warren gloated, “vaporized.” He, like many analysts, anticipates that oil prices will rise, fracking in the Bakken shale region will boom again, and his Dakota Access Pipeline will be the only conduit to carry the crude oil to the Texas Gulf Coast for refining and export. “You must grow until you die,” Warren told Bloomberg.

Jackson Browne also wrote in his statement: “I intend to support public resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline as much as I can. To quote a song of mine: ‘Which side?

“The corporations attacking the natural world, drilling and fracking, who do it with the backing of the craven and corrupt?

“Or the ones who fight for the earth with all their might, and in the name of all that’s right, “Confront and disrupt?’”

In the press release about the Jackson Browne tribute album from Music Road Records, Kelcy Warren wrote, “I don’t know of anybody that admires Jackson more than me.” As Browne and other musicians rally with the land and water protectors at Standing Rock, and as President Obama signals postelection action on the pipeline, it’s time for Kelcy Warren to face the music.

Groenendyk, Woods wed in September ceremony

Elton John’s photo trove displays beauty in black and white LONDON (AP) — He’s one of the most colorful figures in rock ‘n’ roll, but when it comes to photography, Elton John embraces black and white.

Scores of vintage images from the musician’s collection are on display in “The Radical Eye ,” an exhibition opening this week at London’s Tate Modern.

The show displays more than 190 photos that usually line the walls of John’s 18,000 square foot (1,670 square meter) Atlanta apartment and other homes.

John, who once embraced a life of rock ‘n’ roll excess, began buying photographs after he became sober in 1990. In the exhibition catalog, the musician says he replaced alcohol with “a much healthier addiction” that has seen him amass 8,000 images, one of the largest troves of 20th-century photography in private hands.

“Photography became this incredible companion,” John said. “It went hand in hand with my sobriety, which was also fresh and a release. I was like a kid in a candy store.”

The images on display, taken between 1915 and 1950, reflect the period when photography began stretching itself as an artistic medium, and include work by masters of the evolving form.

There are two dozen photos by surrealist Man Ray, including positive and negative versions of his maskand-face image “Noire et Blanche” that usually hang above John’s bed.

An early purchase for John was Man Ray’s “Glass Tears,” a close-up of a mannequin’s face crying glass beads. John bought it at a Sotheby’s auction in 1993 for almost $200,000, which was then a record for a photograph. The market has moved on, and photos can now fetch millions.

John’s office won’t put an estimate on his collection.

Newell Harbin, director of John’s photography collection, says “passionate” is the best word to use to describe him as a collector.

“His energy is infec-

tious,” she said. “He always surprises me. If it touches his heart, if it moves him, then we collect it.”

The show includes influential images by street-photography pioneer Andre Kertesz, New York chronicler Berenice Abbott and avant-garde Russian Alexander Rodchenko, as well as Irving Penn’s revealing portraits of artistic figures including Duke Ellington, Salvador Dali, Noel Coward — and John himself.

Along with the surrealists and experimenters are unflinching documentary photographers like Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange. Lange’s haunting portrait “Migrant Mother,” on display at Tate, helped alert America to the realities of poverty during the Great Depression.

The exhibition, which opens Thursday and runs to May 7, provides a glimpse of photographic history as well as of John’s artistic tastes.

Co-curator Shoair Mavlian said the photos reflect a pivotal period when, “almost 100 years after the invention of the medium, the photographic language began to emerge.”

“Photography stopped following the rules of painting and began to experiment and create its own visual language,” she said — one still influential in the era of smartphones and selfies.

“The way we all have a camera on our phone and communicate through photographs today can really be rooted back to this movement,” she said.

Nowadays, physical photos are becoming a rarity. Harbin said she hopes that in an age “where we just look at things online, as jpegs,” people will be drawn to see photos as rich physical objects. They hang in the Tate’s galleries in the often elaborate frames chosen by John for his home.

ENTERTAINMENT

The way to shop by phone Dear Readers: For those of you who still ORDER ITEMS USING THE PHONE, here are some suggestions we’ve received from call-center workers through the years: * Go to an area where the TV is off and the kids are not playing or crying in the background. If you can hear the noise, the person on the other end can hear it, too, making placing the order more difficult. * Have your credit card in hand, and if you are ordering from a catalog, keep it close by as well. You might be asked for a code on the back of the catalog, which may entitle you to special offers, like free shipping. * When using a catalog, it is a good idea to write the items and item numbers on a sheet of paper, which makes it easier to read directly to the customer-service representative (faster than turning pages). Also write down the page numbers.

Hope these reminders help! – Heloise THOUGHTFUL NECESSITIES Dear Heloise: My hint is for anyone who has lost a loved one or is going to visit a family who has. Following the funeral, instead of bringing food when you know that many others will, I bring

Hints from Heloise paper products, especially if you know there will be a large gathering.

I bring paper towels, napkins, paper plates and even toilet paper. It saves someone from “having to run to the store” for toilet paper. If the items aren’t used then, they can be used later by the family. I have always found these items much appreciated, but not always thought of at the time. – Wilma F. in Virginia Wilma, I do the same.

With a full house, it’s easy to run out of toilet paper, which is the last thing most folks think about at such a time.

Thanks for the reminder. – Heloise RESET CLOCKS Dear Heloise: I got frustrated the last time the power went out (after numerous storms in the area) and I had to reset all the clocks in the house again. Now I carry my cellphone from room to room. I can set each clock, because the cellphone will always have the correct time.

Iowa men’s basketball preview

Talented but inexperienced Hawkeyes seeking another NCAA run

By Luke Meredith AP Sports Writer

Editor’s note — Today is the first in a series of four previews of major college men’s basketball in Iowa. Today features the Hawkeyes. Wednesday will feature Iowa State, Thursday Northern Iowa and Friday Drake.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa goes from being one of the nation’s most experienced teams to being one of its youngest.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the Hawkeyes will take a major step back in 2016-17.

Jarrod Uthoff, Mike Gesell, Anthony Clemmons and Adam Woodbury are gone after leading Iowa to three straight NCAA Tournaments — something it hadn’t accomplished in over two decades. What remains is a potential Big Ten player of the year in Peter Jok and an intriguing yet largely untested supporting cast.

Jok, a senior shooting guard who averaged 16.1 points per game in 2015, should get as many shots as any player in the conference now that Uthoff is in the pros.

Gesell’s starting point guard job will likely go to

sophomore Christian Williams, who is 6-foot-5 with a long reach and a mandate to get stronger and learn the playbook.

Senior D a l e Jones, junior Dom Uhl, s o p h omore Ahmad W a g n e r McCaffery and highly-touted freshman Tyler Cook will be counted on to replace Uthoff and Woodbury’s production in the IOWA | 8A

“The first day was great,” McKim said. “We have a long ways to go, but the attitude was excellent, the hustle was good. I don’t have a lot to complain about for the first day of a new program and a new staff.”

The girls improved plenty.

“I’m very encouraged from reading body language

that it was good for everybody.”

McKim and the program has approximately 30 players out this season.

“That’s good,” McKim said. “We have a few more than last year. It’s a pretty good number for all of us in one gym.”

Day one was the first for the new coaching staff. Britt Roberts is new to the staff this season as the junior varsity coach, while Mallory

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, November 8, 2016

Peterson is back as the freshman coach “Britt Roberts is a fantastic addition. Our kids are fortunate to have her,” McKim said. “Mallory was with us last year. She’s an excellent assistant. We’re fortunate to have her within the program.”

McKim is looking to make his impact on a program coming off a 13-9 season last year.

“We’re trying to change the culture within our program,” McKim said. “It’s good. It will be a change for everybody, be a change in a positive direction.”

The next two weeks leading up to opening night are about installing McKim’s imprint on the program.

“Two hours flew tonight,” McKim said after Monday’s practice. “I hope it felt like it went fast for the girls.

There’s so much to do do.

There’s lots to do.”

The Panthers open on the road against Mount Ayr in Mount Ayr on Nov. 21. The Raiderettes went 18-8 and reached the Class 2A state tournament a season ago.

“Mount Ayr is extremely well coached,” McKim said.

“They have good players coming back.

“It will be a challenge for us.”

frontcourt, and super-sub Nicholas Baer should play a bigger role after an offseason spent working on his strength and his conditioning.

“We’ve got too many guys, and that’s a good problem to have. A lot of times you get to this point and you look and say, ‘Ok, well, these three guys are definitely not playing.’ I don’t have that with this team,” seventh-year coach Fran McCaffery said. “I don’t have a mistake maker. I don’t have a guy who’s confused every day. I don’t have a guy who’s out of shape.”

Does McCaffery have enough guys to make it back to the NCAA Tournament?

Not even he knows for certain heading into November.

Here are some of keys to consider as Iowa undergoes its biggest roster overhaul in years: COOK’S TIME McCaffery typically doesn’t try to over-hype his freshmen. But the 6-foot9 Cook was ranked as the 38th-best player in the country by EPSN as a senior, and he’ll likely slide into a starting role as a power forward.

“I think he’s an impact player, certainly on our team, in our league, and on a national level. I think he’s that good,” McCaffery said.

him a deserving recipient of the award, noted former Panther wrestler and current assistant coach Cody Downing.

“It’s a heck of an honor for him,” said Downing, who is entering his seventh season as an assistant. “He deserves it. He’s put a lot of time into it.”

Frain has been willing to adapt and adjust his techniques over the years. That flexibility is a big part of his success.

“He’s changed thing up,” Downing said. “He’s not traditional coach. He’s always adapting. Like any great coach, he’s keeping up with the times. He’s changing things. He knows kids. Sure it’s way different than when I wrestled. Different isn’t always bad. He’s always been an outside-the-box type coach.

“Combined with that, with time and energy he’s put into it, it’s a good formula.”

Frain has worked to make sure all levels of wrestling in the program are on the same page.

“When he became the head coach, the kids program, the middle school, high school, all of those got in sync,” Downing said. “It speaks to that more than maybe what he’s accomplished on the mat. That takes care of itself. That’s why I’m happy to be a part of it. We’ve got a real good system in place.”

Assistants help make strong room Frain credited his staff for helping create a winning culture for Creston/O-M wrestling.

“I can go through all of them, every assistant I’ve had had for the whole 17 years,” Frain said. “I don’t think I’ve had a bad assistant. They’ve contributed as much as me or more than me.”

Frain gives freedom to his staff to do what they see is best for each wrestler.

“We have a good coaching staff as far as knowing our roles in the room, what each person expects out of each other,” Downing said.

“He doesn’t look over your shoulder. He lets you go. I’m the upper weights coach. He trusts me to do my own thing with them. It works. It’s a lot of fun. Of course winning makes it more fun. If I didn’t enjoy it, I wouldn’t be there today.”

Practice makes perfect Frain’s practices are intense from beginning to end.

Effective, efficient movement in practice helps each wrestler improve.

“He runs it like a college practice,” Downing said.

“There’s not much down time at all. The main thing is we’re constantly moving from minute we get in there.

It’s continuous movement.

We do a fair amount live wrestling. We don’t spent lot time talking, telling stories.

It’s all business when we’re in there.”

Each individual pushes the other.

“Great partners make

a great room,” Frain said.

“You’ve got 30 or all 40 kids in there that bust their rear, from the worst kid to the best kid, that’s how you get a good room. That’s what it’s from.”

Creston/O-M’s late season success starts every day in the practice room at Creston High School.

“That’s what wrestling is — every day you want to be better than the day before, every match you want to be better than the guy you wrestled the last time,” Frain said.

“That’s what it’s all about.”

Those intense practices throughout the season have traditionally paid off in mid-February at Wells Fargo Arena and the state tournament.

“A big reason for our success is our conditioning and our schedule we wrestle,” Downing said. “The kids are really battle-tested when tournament time comes around.”

Work ethic builds program Hard work up and down the lineup each day in the practice room has become a hallmark of Panther wrestling.

“Everybody in the room is equal when it comes to how hard they work and how hard they contribute,” Frain said.

Creston/O-M’s aggressive schedule may see the team take its lumps early in the season.

But competing in tough matches early, learning how to win, has translated into success when the state tournament rolls around every February in Des Moines.

“We probably never emphasize wins and losses,” Frain said. “It’s more about effort, competition, doing the best you can do and hopefully by the end of the year it takes care of itself.”

While names like Long, Marlin, Evans and Shiltz have become household among wrestling circles, its others who may not see their name in the newspaper or heard on the radio who contribute to the team’s success.

“When you look at the Andrew Long’s, the Dylan Long’s, the Kalab Evans, every year we’ve had one or two kids step up and do great for us,” Frain said. “That’s what it’s about is those bottom half kids that pull you through. We have those kids every year that nobody’s ever heard of and all of the sudden everybody’s asking where’d this kid come from?

Those are the ones that make you better, especially when you win team trophies is the fact that your bottom guys that don’t get to state contribute and get big wins for you.”

When match time comes around, Panther wrestlers know they the biggest supporter in the gym, in Wells Fargo Arena, is in their corner.

It’s their head coach.

“Sometimes you have to pull him back. He can get really fired up in the corner,” Downing said. “He’s one of the more competitive guys I know. I can tell watching him in the corner of an intense wrestling match.”

Seahawks top Bills 31-25 SEATTLE (AP) — Jimmy Graham’s first one-handed catch was special. His second was even better.

And that doesn’t even mention his open-field hurdle of a defensive back.

Graham needed just one hand to catch two first-half touchdown passes from Russell Wilson, and the Seattle Seahawks held off a late rally for a 31-25 win over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.

“We talked this week if we get a favorable matchup, throw it,” Graham said.

Seattle won its 11th straight Monday night game behind a huge game from

its tight end. Still less than a year removed from a major knee injury, Graham used his right arm to catch a 17-yard touchdown from Wilson on the first play of the second quarter and later used the same arm to cradle an 18-yard TD pass in the final moments of the first half.

But the Seahawks had to hold on in the final seconds as Buffalo quarterback Tyrod Taylor led the Bills inside the Seattle 10 in the final seconds. Taylor was sacked by Cliff Avril on third-and-goal from the 8 and on fourth-and-goal Taylor’s pass into the end zone fell incomplete.
