City of Afton receives $10K ‘Drive out grant to repair sidewalks Hunger’ donations wanted Saturday

By IAN RICHARDSON CNA staff reporter

irichardson@crestonnews.com

AFTON — The city of Afton plans to upgrade its century-old sidewalk system next spring, thanks to a $10,000 Wellmark Foundation grant it received in mid-November.

The grant will cover about half of an estimated $20,000 project to replace damaged or missing pieces of sidewalk on a six-block portion of East Filmore Street. When finished, the sidewalk will connect Highway 169 to the walking trail on the east side of town.

Toni L a n d - Landers ers, Afton city clerk, said these particular walkways are badly in need of repair.

“There’s some spots where there’s bad cracks and some spots where they’re heaved and some spots where there’s no sidewalk at all,” Landers said.

“We just wanted to make that main route safe to the trail.”

The Wellmark Foundation’s Community Kickstarter grant funds projects that make communities healthier by encouraging activity or access to healthy food. To receive the money, the city was required to submit an application and then vote during a twoweek voting period, which ended Oct. 7.

As part of the application, the city produced a video showing the disrepair of Afton’s sidewalk system and outlining its project.

According to the video, the name “J.W. Carter,” which is inscribed in several cement blocks throughout the town, belongs to a man who died in 1914, proving many of the city’s sidewalks are more than 100 years old.

Communities around Iowa entered more than 130 projects in the competition. Afton was one of 32 projects selected.

This project isn’t the first step Afton has taken to

repair its sidewalk system.

For the past two years, the city has offered up to $500 each to residents citywide to put toward repairs of their own sidewalks.

This funding had come from local option sales tax money. However, no one has taken the city up on the offer so far.

Afton City Council member Mary Hill said that even though maintaining sidewalks is the homeowner’s responsibility, the city is interested in doing what it can to aid them in the process.

“We know that times are tough and that we have low-income citizens. We wanted to help them out a little bit.”

“We know that times are tough and that we have low-income citizens,” Hill said. “We wanted to help them out a little bit.”

Hill said the council’s goal is to begin the project in the spring, and she said some community mem-

bers have already offered to pitch in to rip out their current sidewalks. Hill said cost estimates right now are around $20,000, and the council will further discuss the project and possible additional funding sources at its December meeting.

City clerk pleads not guilty to fraud, burning city hall DES MOINES (AP) — A trial date has been set for the former city clerk for the small western Iowa city of Casey who is facing federal charges alleging she used city funds for personal use

and burned down city hall the night before state auditors were to arrive to investigate missing money.

Dorothy Dillinger was indicted in federal court in Des Moines last month on

five counts of mail fraud and one count of malicious use of fire. She pleaded not guilty at a Nov. 30 court appearance where a judge set a Feb. 1 trial date.

Virginia and her brother Donald. They all lived on their family farm and she attended school in Ogden at the one-room schoolhouse in Marcy Township until eighth grade, then transferred to the community school district. During her childhood she spent most of her time on the farm, helping her family and playing dolls with her sister.

During her junior year of high school, she met the love of her life and future husband Ken Mallas.

During her college years at teaching school, they were united in marriage on May 25, 1957. The following day her husband had to return to military duty in Germany.

She joined him shortly after and they went to the “City of Love”- Paris, France to celebrate their unity. Ken and Shirley then returned to Iowa in the early fall. Many stops from Boone to where they finally settled in Corning, the two were set together for life. To this union two children were born, Angela and Jeffery.

While raising her two children and supporting her husband’s career within the local school district, many people remember Shirley as helping raise a part of their attended Dordt College and the University of Iowa.

On June 11, 2011, Joel married Stacy Lynn Carney at the Abundant Life Family Church in Creston. He was a surveyor for Garden and Associates Engineering for 14 years. Joel helped people especially as an Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor, and he attended spiritual retreats for AA. Joel was a member and elder for Abundant Life Church in Creston.

Joel is survived by his wife Stacy; step-son Mason Wagaman; mother Darlene Van Hal; siblings, Darla (Russell) Dykstra of Kansas City, Missouri, and their children Dustin, Dakota and Dylan, Denise (J. Scott) Kimm of Churchill, Montana, and their children Jonathan (Sammie), Aaron and Rose, and Todd (Diana) Van Hal of Eldridge and their children Leah and Drew; parents-in-law Ellie and Richard Carney; sisterin-law Terry Wallace and her children Erin and Richard Wallace; and great-nephews, Nate and Ryder Wallace.

Joel is preceded in death by his father Jerry and sisterin-law Kathy Carney.

family as well. Whether she was assisting with a four legged being, or playing with children as their parents were at work or study, she always cared for them as if they were her own. No one was ever to worry if Shirley Mallas was entrusted with their loved ones, as she cared for all with the utmost regard.

Throughout her adulthood, Shirley always enjoyed art. From photography to drawing, she was very artistic and enjoyed all aspects. She loved history, especially the history of architecture. She watched as the world grew around her.

She was a master gardener and enjoyed gardening throughout all the seasons of life. She enjoyed the outdoors and cherished all seasons. She was involved in numerous community groups including Bible studies and T.O.P.S. She was an active member of the Community of Christ in Creston.

Even throughout her battle with cancer, Shirley remained optimistic and never complained. She continued to be grateful and share her blessings. At her weakest, she continued to be strength for others.

Most of all, Shirley was

which gives us the opportunity to provide even more services to our loyal patrons.

We appreciate very much all efforts Angela has made on our behalf and wish her all the best as she returns to her hometown of Perry.”

“Perry is my hometown, and I am excited about the opportunity to work there,” said Mortoza. “However, it was a hard decision to make, as I will miss the caring staff, patients and community that I have been a part of the past

four years. I want to thank the community for welcoming me and supporting me as we strived towards providing quality health care in Adair County.”

Mike Trachta, vice president with Mercy Health Network, will be working with the board of trustees on recruiting the next ACHS CEO. “The CEO position is important to an organization,” Trachta said. “I am confident that with the help of the board of trustees and leadership team at ACHS, we will find a qualified candidate that is fit for your community.”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, December 1, 2015

Sorry, Frosty, maybe next year It was Saturday evening, and my sister and I were relaxing in the living room, watching Lawrence Welk on PBS. All those Thanksgiving leftovers must have had me in a funk because I never watch Lawrence Welk.

After we’d had a good time laughing at what people wore when my parents were kids, I flipped the channel to CBS. That was when I came to a stark realization.

“Frosty the Snowman” was on, and I’d missed all but the last three minutes.

By 7:27 p.m., Frosty had already melted into a puddle and was about to be resurrected by Santa Claus. He, Santa, Karen and Professor Hinkle were now standing together in the snow, waiting for the magic top hat to be restored and for Frosty to sound his last heroic “Happy Birthday.”

Ian’s inklings Ian Richardson staff writer

A couple minutes later, as I listened to Jimmy Durante rasp the final reprise of the theme song, I was crushed.

Here I was, still digesting Thanksgiving, and Christmas was already passing me by.

Is it just me, or does network TV keep moving Christmas specials sooner and sooner? I understand they need to air ahead of the holiday, but isn’t airing Frosty while it’s still November putting the sleigh too far ahead of the reindeer? Pretty soon we’re going to be watching “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” in August. Or

we’ll be starting Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving Day. Oh wait, never mind.

Unfortunately, as an advocate of listening to Christmas music year-round, I don’t think I’m in a position to complain about early Christmas specials. So instead, I decided to do something about it.

I formed a strategy.

Since I don’t have cable, satellite or DVR, the stakes were high.

Monday, I scanned the upcoming holiday TV special listings, marking when my favorites air. That was when I realized “A Charlie Brown Christmas” would be celebrating its 50th anniversary Monday night.

This one wasn’t sneaking up on me.

I don’t know exactly what it is about cartoon Christmas specials, but there’s just something in them that uniquely encapsulates Christmas. Whenever I watch them, it’s

like I’m 4 years old again, scared to death of the Abominable Snowman, in awe of the moment when Linus quotes the Christmas story from Luke chapter 2, feeling sorry for poor old Max as he pulls a sleighful of stolen Christmas presents from Whoville to the Grinch’s lair.

It’s not that Christmas isn’t complete without these things. At its core, Christmas has one purpose, and it’s something that can easily get lost in all the holiday hubbub.

But traditions are also valuable. There’s just something about them that brings us closer to each other, closer to an appreciation of why we’re doing what we’re doing throughout the season.

It’s interesting how there comes a point every holiday season when I feel like I’ve “had Christmas.”

Often it’s right after Afton’s com-

munity candlelight service, or in the midst of some unscripted moment with family, watching the blinking lights on our Christmas tree or sipping cocoa.

That said, I’m excited for all of the traditions that begin in town this weekend, from the Christmas parade to the holiday concerts.

Even though I’ll be working during some of them, watching from behind a camera, it doesn’t mean I’ll enjoy them any less.

And, in case you missed it Monday, Charlie Brown will be airing again on Christmas Eve. However, I can’t say the same for “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” which airs on CBS tonight.

I think you know exactly where I’ll be.

Donations needed for student gift giving From Jane Shantz Creston Schools

This year, Creston Community Schools will be once again be holding “Presents for People We Care About.” This is a program in the elementary and middle schools that provides an opportunity for all children to shop for special people in their lives. There is no cost to the students and it is fully ran on donations from caring individuals in the community and beyond.

We are asking for donations of new or gently used items that will be displayed for the children’s shopping experience. In the elementary, the students shop by class and in the middle school, students come during their study halls.

Items needed include knickknacks, crafts, jewelry, items for men, toys, books etc. Please make sure the donated items are clean and in good shape. We are also looking for tape, wrapping paper, gift bags and gift tags. We love having volunteers assist the children in shopping and wrapping.

Items may be dropped off at the Creston Elementary/Middle School or the Early Childhood Center. If you are unable to deliver, please call and we will come get it. The project runs Dec. 14 to 17.

Deadline for dropping items off is Dec. 11.

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please contact Jane Shantz, student success coordinator at 641-782-1155.

Turkey engaged in a war of words with Russia HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Trumbo starring Bryan Cranston opened Friday about film screenwriter Dalton Trumbo who was blacklisted by Hollywood in the Fifties due to his communist beliefs. Today the same climate of fear exists in America. Last week four lawyers were blacklisted for defending the Redskins trademark.

President Obama told Americans Friday that admitting Syrian refugees is part of our tradition of compassion and tolerance. That’s all we’ve heard for seven years is compassion and tolerance. Donald Trump went up six points in the polls last night after he opened with three Helen Keller jokes.

The National Retailers Association reported excellent retail sales in malls across America last Friday on the day after Thanksgiving. It’s a day of barely controlled mayhem. Americans went all out to go shopping on what we call Black Friday, or as the Kardashians call it, Sadie Hawkins Day. Black Friday arrived as Americans jammed the shopping malls nationwide Friday. It proceeds in strict order. Thanksgiving is followed by Black Friday, which is followed by Small Business Saturday, which is followed by Cyber-Shopping Monday, which is followed by Identity-Theft Tuesday.

Wal-Mart reported moder-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

ate-sized shopping crowds on Black Friday due to the store opening up on Thanksgiving. It looked more packed than it was.

That’s because last June, WalMart announced it’ll no longer sell Confederate merchandise and now every Wal-Mart is two aisles smaller.

Turkey engaged in a war of words with Russia Friday over blame for the downed Russia jet.

Americans surveyed in telephone polls are being asked to choose between siding with a NATO ally who’s Muslim or siding with a longtime adversary who’s white.

The pause on our end of the line is hilarious.

President Obama declared Thursday the Syrian refugees are just like the Pilgrims who landed on the Mayflower. We all know how this ends. Two hundred years from now, the Syrians will feel guilty about what they did once they got here and allow Anglo-Americans to operate their own casinos.

German demonstrators staged angry protests against Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to allow more Muslim refugees into Germany. They’re afraid the influx

will change their national character. In Germany the greeters at Wal-Mart glare at you menacingly and ask you for your papers.

John Kasich released a new video comparing Donald Trump to the Nazis in his willingness to deport illegal aliens, surveil mosques, and rough up Black Lives Matters protesters. The video’s claims are pretty harsh. For one thing, the Donald’s campaign biography is NOT titled Mein Trumpf.

Canada was hit by a nationwide survey saying that sixty-five percent of Canadian men prefer bacon to sex. This may be why Canada’s government is allowing Syrian women refugees into the country.

They’re determined to teach men healthier eating habits even if it results in cannibalism.

Chicago protesters blocked Michigan Avenue Friday to protest a cop killing a black teen. It’s a longtime problem. Last month in Chicago, President Obama told Chicago cops they have work to do to restore trust with the minority community, and halfway through the speech they pulled him over.

Psychology Today published a study which found that rudeness spreads just like an infectious disease. Its spread can be mapped.

It’s interesting in that while the Plague ravaged all of Europe seven hundred years ago, rudeness has pretty much been contained to within the borders of France.

Trailblazing pop star Pink saw firsthand severely malnourished children during a recent visit to Haiti as a part of a UNICEF program to provide therapeutic food packets to children in need.

The singer, whose given name is Alecia Moore, was named a UNICEF ambassador Monday to help promote a new effort to encourage physical activity in young children in the United States and at the same time raise money for nutritional, vitamin-rich peanut paste to be delivered to malnourished children all over the world.

“I got to watch mommas learning how to feed it to their kids,” Moore said during a phone interview from California. “And within a week, you can see the difference in these children.

It brings them back to life.

It’s amazing.”

Moore is the national spokeswoman for the UNICEF Kid Power Band, which is a child-friendly fitness band that encourages exercise through an interactive app. Kids can earn points by doing things like taking 12,000 steps a day or completing a goal. As the children earn points,

UNICEF’s partners, including Target, Disney and Star Wars: Force for Change, will provide the funds needed to send the food packets to places like Haiti.

Moore, who has a 4-yearold daughter with her husband, Carey Hart, said the trip to Haiti strengthened her passion for UNICEF’s project. She visited Port-auPrince this summer, where she saw children who came back from the brink of starvation because of these food packets.

“When you get to see it with your own eyes and you see that something works, then it’s a lot easier to get behind and advocate for it and try to make other people aware of it,” she said.

The Kid Power app also teaches children about the countries and cultures they are helping and they can unlock special videos and messages and track their progress online.

“They found a brilliant way, and a fun way, to get kids here involved and empowered and motivated,” Moore said. “And they are also turning them into global citizens and they get to be hands-on.”

The Grammy-winning singer is a natural role model for a program that encourages physical activity and exercise. Her concerts are full of high-energy choreography, including flying through the air on wires over the crowds or spinning from large silk ribbons like a Cirque du Soleil dancer.

In fact, her daughter, Willow, is already following in mom’s footsteps. At home, her daughter plays with a smaller, kid-sized version of the silk fabric that she uses to spin around on during concerts.

“I put a silk in her room, so she is spinning nine times out of 10,” Moore said. “It’s kind of amazing.”

The singer was to join her trainer Jeanette Jenkins at an elementary school in New York City on Monday to test out the bands with children in grades three through five.

She said that she plans to get one for everyone in her family so they can start earning points and raising funds for UNICEF. “Between Carey, myself and Willow, it’s going to get a little competitive,” she said laughing.

Paper power!

Dear Readers: Computers were supposed to make us a paperless society! NOT! NO! NADA! ZIP! We still get bills, bills and more paper!

One place that many of us still want a PAPER BILL is the energy bill. How do I know? Believe it or not, there was a study done using a large, anonymous electric company up East.

The numbers from this survey showed that over 90 percent of their customers still want a PAPER BILL sent through the mail — most likely (as I do) to keep copies to compare usage and cost and for supporting documentation.

I keep ours for several years, then go through and pick out January, August, September and December, and toss the rest. I do the same for our water bill, but keep all months, as water usage and cost are a major concern here in Texas, and will continue to be for the future. However, I do pay most bills online, like the majority of those in the survey.

Some companies try to push you to receive and pay bills online, I think to cut costs, but you don’t have to! Call for a paper bill, and they should NOT charge you. — Heloise DECORATIVE HANGERS Dear Heloise: Years ago,

Horoscope Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This might be a difficult day at work because you are second-guessing yourself due to feeling a lack of confidence.

Also, someone in authority might criticize you. Bummer.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Romance might disappoint you today, perhaps because of misunderstandings about shared property or your responsibilities to others. Tomorrow things look much better. Courage.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be patient with family members today, especially females, because you might be confused about something. You might feel disappointed or let down by someone.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Misunderstandings with daily contacts could lead to problems at work today. Someone older or in a position of authority might be unhappy. Tread carefully!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Rethink any important financial decisions today, because confusion and deceit are possible.

This could relate to expenses with children, sports or social events.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Yesterday was an exciting day. Tomorrow will be fine.

However, today it’s easy to be disappointed, sad or confused.

This is just a temporary dark cloud on your horizon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Don’t fall into worry mode today. Worry is actually a habit.

The truth is that 90 percent of the things we worry about never happen.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to borrow money or ask anyone, especially a female friend, about financial matters. People are inclined to be negative, which is why they are not helpful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Life might seem hard today because you doubt your own abilities. Don’t let the criticisms of others get you down. It’s easy to believe your worst fears today, but this is just an illusion. Relax.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Confusion about your role, especially in financial matters or anything to do with shared property, might bring criticism to you from a boss. If you’re not sure what to do, do nothing.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It’s easy to deceive yourself today, which is why emotional relationships are difficult. If someone is critical of you, do not take this to heart. A lot of people feel this way today.

YOU BORN TODAY You are

high-spirited and dramatic.

You seem to be larger than life. People hero-worship you, while you hero-worship others. Because you will enjoy financial accumulation in the next three years, settle your debts this year. If you clear away indebtedness, you will be in the best position possible. In order to grow in the future, consolidate your affairs this year.

National Digest

Hill’s thrill CLEVELAND — The Ravens finally got a break that didn’t mean losing another player.

Will Hill returned a blocked field goal 64 yards for a touchdown as time expired to give Baltimore a 33-27 win Monday over the luckless Cleveland Browns, who lost their sixth straight game and starting quarterback Josh McCown.

Travis Coons lined up to kick a potential game-winning 51-yard field goal with 3 seconds to go for the Browns (29), but it was deflected by defensive end Brent Urban, who was playing his first NFL game for the injury-riddled Ravens (47). Hill scooped it up and rumbled down the left sideline for an improbable win, stunning a Cleveland crowd that moments earlier was ready to celebrate.

Ravens quarterback Matt Schaub, making his first start since 2013, threw two touchdown passes.

McCown injured his collarbone in the fourth quarter and was replaced

by Austin Davis, whose 42-yard TD pass to Travis Benjamin tied the game with 1:47 remaining.

19th straight SALT LAKE CITY — Stephen Curry was held relatively in check for most of Monday night.

The reigning MVP and NBA leading scorer had 16 points through three quarters as Draymond Green and other teammates did the heavy lifting.

Then came the fourth quarter.

Curry scored 10 of his 26 points in the final 6:20, and the Golden State Warriors held on for their NBA-record 19th consecutive win to start the season with a 106-103 victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday night.

“We’ve had some battles, and obviously, we’ve had some lopsided victories,” Curry said. “But what gets lost in the record is the tough games we’ve had to claw our way out of, like tonight. Just because we are 19-0 doesn’t mean we can just show up and blow teams out and guarantee a win. We actually have to do something about it.”

With the game tied at 101 with 51 seconds left, Curry hit a 3-pointer from the left wing to give the Warriors the lead. Rodney Hood scored 14 seconds later to bring the Jazz within one.

After Curry missed a 3-pointer, the Jazz had a chance to take the lead, but Hood missed a 3 from the wing with five seconds left. Curry hit two free throws to seal the victory as Gordon Hayward’s half-court shot at the buzzer fell way short. Klay Thompson added 20, including four 3-point baskets.

Hayward led the Jazz with 24 points.

The Warriors have won 23 straight regular-season games dating back to last season.

The two teams went back and forth down the stretch hitting shots in the fourth quarter. Alec Burks scored six straight, and Derrick Favors gave the Jazz a 99-97 lead on a three-point play. Then Curry hit another 3-pointer.

WINTERSET — Jenna Taylor made Creston’s first two shots of the game for a 4-2 lead, and the Panthers rode her hot hand the rest of the way in a 55-31 victory at Mel Penrod Gymnasium here Monday night.

The Panthers improved to 2-0, while the Huskies, ranked No. 12 in Class 4A in the preseason, fell to 0-2 after opening last week with a 42-37 loss to Interstate 35.

Taylor, 5-10 senior post player, scored inside and out Monday with four 3-pointers in finishing with 35 points. She scored 21 of her team’s first-half points in a 26-14 lead at the break.

Taylor is believed to have set a Creston five-player single-game scoring record.

She made 10 2-point field goals, four from 3-point range and shot 3-of-4 at the free throw line.

Previous highs were Leanne Owens with 28 points in a game and Summer Hook with 26. Amanda Parker and Katie McKim also topped 20 points multiple times. Emily Sevier was a high scorer for Creston girls basketball in the final years of six-player basketball here.

McKim, 2007 graduate who played at Central College, is the school’s all-time career scoring leader with 856 points.

“I was feeling good in warmups,” Taylor said. “I got some hooks going to my right early, and then when

came out and shot (3-pointers) a little bit.”

“Jenna is a tough matchup for a lot of kids, because of everything she can do,” said Creston coach Brent Douma. “They face-guarded her there in the second half and Cammy (Rutherford) got started with a couple of little jump hooks, they were so focused on Jenna. We let the game come to us. And defensively, that’s the type of effort we want.”

Stifling defense

Winterset’s offense was slowed by Creston’s 2-3 zone that’s very active on the perimeter, putting someone on the ball constantly. It was a 14-4 game after one quarter and Taylor already had 12 points.

“Our defense was playing well,” Douma said. “The idea is keeping one on the ball, and if they skip pass, if someone has to go out from the post, we bump down and cover. Our guards do a good job of communicating. We knew (Molly) Eyerly was a pretty good player for them and we held her to four points. Their point guard (Macy Johnson) is quick and she got 14 tonight.”

The Panthers had to play extended minutes without senior point guard Taylor Briley in the second half, after she suddenly had four foul violations. With 4:40 left in the third quarter, she was whistled for a technical foul for her verbal reaction to a foul call.

“I talked to her about it,” Douma said. “She just said ‘Oh my God!’ I think she

Bearcats advance MARYVILLE, Mo. — Northwest Missouri State dominated Humboldt State, 54-7, in a Division II second-round playoff game Saturday at Bearcat Stadium.

Senior quarterback Brady Bolles completed 26of-33 passes for 276 yards and two touchdowns. The Northwest defense, ranked first in Division II allowing just 11.9 points per game entering Saturday, limited the nation’s fourth-ranked offense to 48 total yards on 45 offensive plays.

Clarke golfer signs with SWCC Courtney Clark, a senior at Clarke High School in Osceola, has signed a National Letter of Intent to play golf at Southwestern Community College starting in the fall 2016 semester.

Clark played golf all four years in high school. Doug

“Courtney will compete at a high level during her time at SWCC,” North stated. “Not only is she an outstanding athlete, her grades

will reflect the outstanding individual she is in the classroom as well. I’m glad we’re keeping her in southwest Iowa.”

Clark will be a student in SWCC’s arts and sciences transfer program.

But the Dutch (4-1) saw a 19-point first-half lead and a 10-point halftime advantage slip away against Nebraska Wesleyan (5-2). The Prairie Wolves did most of their damage from behind the arc, knocking down 17-of-46 3-pointers.

in at point guard, with Lexie Little helping in the ball handling, finishing with a teamhigh four assists.

Senior Alli Thomsen also played a larger part than the opener, subbing frequently for starting senior Camryn Somers. Top scorers behind Taylor were Rutherford with eight points and Briley with seven.

“We had some people do a good job of executing without forcing anything,” Douma said. “Camryn had a 103 temperature Sunday morning, so we had to watch her a little.”

Taylor said she was able to receive some well-placed passes in the second half even when Winterset had a player face guarding her.

“It’s hard to face guard a post player,” Taylor said.

“Lexie and Alli did a good job of driving the baseline and getting it inside.”

League opener

Creston opens conference play Friday at Glenwood, and Douma knows the Rams will present challenges.

“They have the (Danika) Lucy girl with a lot of size, the track runner Molly Dean is a nice athlete and Myranda Starner is a good player,” said Douma, former boys assistant at Glenwood before taking the Creston job last year. “We’ll have to go over there and give a good effort.”

WINTERSET (31) — Macy Johnson 6 2-2 14, Molly Eyerly 2 0-0 4, Sophie Stover 2 0-1 4, Ally Pickering 1 0-0 3, Erika Shahan 1 0-0 3, Madison Wauters 1 1-2 3.

JUNIOR VARSITY Creston overcame an early 10-0 deficit to roll past Winterset 53-29 in junior varsity action Monday.

The Panthers (2-0) pulled in front 20-19 at halftime and outscored the Huskies 33-10 in the second half. Brielle Baker scored 21 points, Megan Haley scored eight and Taylor Buxton and Cayla Maitlen each tallied six.

Madison Wauters led Winterset with 15 points.

“We started slow, probably had 16 missed layups in the first half,” said Creston coach Ryan McKim. “We’ve been working a lot on defensive positioning and we did a good job with that. I thought for three quarters we really played pretty well.”

Creston (53) — Brielle Baker 21, Megan Haley 8, Taylor Buxton 6, Cayla Maitlen 6, Madison Callahan 5, Logan Pettit 4, Saige Rice 3. 3-point goals — Baker 2, Rice 1. Halftime score — Creston 20, Winterset 19.

Winterset (29) — Madison Wauters 15, Mia Olson 5, Mariah White 3, Courtney Woodcock 3, Jenna Wagner 2, Emma Lowden 1. 3-point goals — Olson 1, White 1, Woodcock 1.

FRESHMEN There was no official freshman game Monday, although Creston freshmen defeated a group of Winterset JV reserves, 29-2 in two quarters, since Winterset has no freshman team.

Players for Creston in the game were Stephanie Hemsworth, Kesia Stewart, Jesse Vicker, Grace Root and Breanna Ross.
