Young not keeping regional office in Creston

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District will no longer have a regional office in Creston when Congressman-elect David Young takes office in 2015.

Young, who survived a highly competitive Republican primary and later defeated Democrat Staci Appel for the open United States House of Representative seat in the general election, will have regional offices in Council Bluffs and

Regional offices will be in Council Bluffs and Des Moines. Rural areas will have a mobile unit providing assistance to constituents.

■

Des Moines.

To cover the rural areas, Young will have a mobile unit to provide assistance for constituents.

Background When Iowa had five congressman in the U.S. House, the Creston area was represented by Rep. Steve King. He hired Laura Harman of Creston to serve as his regional as-

sistant in the Creston office for six years.

“We did what we call case work,” Hartman said. “We would help constituent that might be having difficulties with federal agencies ... field calls for people that wanted to talk to their congressman ... a lot of what I did was put people in touch with the right people to help them.”

Hartman said she also sold U.S. flags out of the Creston office and attended area meetings to stay up to date on community issues.

“That way we could stay on top of any issues in case something that occurred was within the realm of the congressman’s sphere,” Hartman said.

During the 2012 election, Iowa lost a congressman and King’s district was rearranged to cover a majority of northwest Iowa. This set up a competitive race between two incumbents — Rep. Latham and Rep. Leonard Boswell — for Iowa’s new

3rd Congressional District.

Former U.S. Congressman Tom Latham kept the regional office in 2013 after defeating Boswell and asked Hartman to be his regional assistant in the Creston office.

The district includes Fremont, Page, Taylor, Ringgold, Mills, Montgomery, Adams, Union, Pottawattamie, Cass, Adair, Madison, Warren, Guthrie, Dallas and Polk counties.

Hartman said the number of constituents needing help would fluctuate. The office would typically get busier after major events like flooding or ice storms.

The event runs entirely on donations from caring individuals in the community.

Supporters wonder about Iowa Juvenile Home’s future WATERLOO (AP) — The future of the former Iowa Juvenile Home facility in Toledo remains murky, and questions about how the state will care for delinquent girls linger.

The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports (http://bit. ly/1JEAMhm ) supporters of the 27-acre facility hope the state will decide soon what to do with it, but lawsuits related to the closure of the juvenile

home complicate the situation.

“It’s sitting there like a ghost town, and it’s a sad, sad situation, but there’s not much we can do at this point,” said Toledo resident Bill Skow, who helped establish a foundation that supported the juvenile home.

The Iowa Juvenile Home closed in January after questions were raised about the treatment of teenagers, includ-

ing use of isolation cells and a lack of educational opportunities.

But a year ago, the facility housed 21 youths and employed 93 staff members.

Without the Iowa Juvenile Home, the state lacks a facility to care for delinquent girls who have committed crimes.

Iowa does continue to operate a home for delinquent boys in Eldora.

The lack of a facility for girls is a concern for Chelsea Reasoner, who lived at the Iowa Juvenile Home for part of her childhood.

“I would say that now, especially since it’s closed, there’s a severe lack of a facility like that in Iowa,” said Reasoner, 18. “There definitely needs to Please see JUVENILE HOME, Page 2

DES MOINES (AP) — The number of Iowans hospitalized for flu complications has more than doubled in recent weeks, and senior citizens are being hit especially hard, according to a new report from Iowa health officials.

The report released Friday by the Iowa Department of Public Health says more than half of Iowans being hospitalized for the flu are 65 or older, The Des Moines Register reported.

Through Dec. 13, 65 Iowans were hospitalized for the flu at a set of hospitals monitored by the department, the report says. That was up from 50 the previous week, and 26 the week before that.

Dr. Patricia Quinlisk, the department’s medical director, said the Type A H3N2 is the most common strain of the virus hitting the state ■ Through and said there have Dec. 13, 65 been several recent outbreaks in nursing Iowans were homes and schools. hospitalized She recommended for the flu. people take special care to try to prevent That was the spread to suscep- up from 50 tible people. the previous “If you or your family members week and aren’t well, then 26 the week it’s probably not a before that. good time to go visit Grandma or Grandpa in the nursing home,” she said.

Public health officials continue to urge people to obtain flu shots or nasal sprays, even though this season’s flu vaccine may not be as effective.

Flu is one of the nation’s most deadly diseases.

Sandy Peno, a nurse epidemiologist for UnityPoint Health-Des Moines, said her hospitals have seen a surge of hospitalizations for flu in the past two or three weeks. Many of the patients are older people who also have chronic health issues, such as lung ailments, that make them particularly susceptible to flu complications, she said.

Jeff Brock, an infectious-disease pharmacist at Des Moines’ Mercy Medical Center, said his hospital admitted 22 flu patients last week, nearly triple the number from two weeks earlier. Those patients, too, have been mostly elderly, Brock said. Senior citizens who experience fever, chills and body aches should seek medical help quickly, he said.

“If you’re young and healthy, generally you can wait,” Brock said.

Deaths Dean Cobb Blockton

Dean Austin Cobb, the youngest son of Glenn A. and Grace Goforth Cobb was born on a farm south of Blockton on June 8, 1919, living there all of his life, departing on December 17, 2014 at the age of 95.

He attended country school (Brush College), and later graduating from Blockton High School.

His life was spent on the farm raising livestock and grain farming and always practiced and promoted soil conservation with his brother Charles.

At an early age he obeyed the Gospel and became a member of the Tent Chapel Church of Christ, and remained a faithful and active member in all church activities.

On August 3, 1958 he married Evelyn Wilson, a school teacher from Rippey, Iowa. They made their home south of Blockton.

In 1968, they became foster parents of two children, David A. Goff and Vickie Lynne Goff who were taken into their home and were always a part of their lives.

Evelyn passed away in 1995 and later in 1998, Dean married Marietta Stephens. They also made their home south of Blockton on Dean’s farm.

Dean was the National weather observer for the Blockton area until retiring in March 2002. In 1993 he received the noted John Companius Holm award, which was given as one of the 25 awards to volunteer weather observers from the U.S. region for the 35 years of outstanding service along with other awards given

for his 44 years of faithful service.

Dean was interested in the church and community affairs, and especially wanting people to become a Christian, live a Christian life with the hope of life eternally in heaven.

Dean discontinued his farming operation in the spring of 1996.

Surviving are his wife Marietta, two foster children, David (Jocelynn) Goff, Vickie (Beryl) Jordan, six foster grandchildren, Michelle Goff, Jennifer (Brandon) Sales, Kimberly (Paxton) Edwards, Chrystal Goff, Paul Jordan, Aaron Lefevere, one foster great-grandson, Kadesh Edwards, step children, Toni (Ron) Schlapia, Jacque (Kevin) Nelson, step-grandchildren, Jen (Tim) Schaefer, Stef (Aaron) Curry and Brooke Nelson, step-great-grandchildren, Kate, Tyler, and Colton Schaefer, and Zakkary Curry. Nieces and nephews and families, Roberta Milinsky, Anita (Jim) Burr, Galen (Kathy) Cobb, and Marla (David) Fetters.

Preceding Dean in death were his wife Evelyn, parents, brother Charles and two sisterin-laws, Cleta and Ann Cobb.

Funeral Services were 10:00 A.M. Saturday, December 20, 2014 at the Prugh-Dunfee Funeral Home in Grant City, Missouri. Art Wallis and Mike Lewis officiated. Interment was in the Rose Hill Cemetery in Blockton, Iowa. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to Tent Chapel Church or Blockton Community Building Fund.

Officials OK perks for vegetable oil plant in Iowa SIOUX CITY (AP) — State and local officials have approved $3.1 million in incentives for an Omaha, Nebraska, soybean processor to build a $90 million vegetable oil refinery in northwestern Iowa.

An agreement approved Friday by the Woodbury County Board will exempt Ag Processing Inc. from $2.1 million in county property taxes through 2024, the Sioux City Journal reported. At a separate meeting in Des Moines, the Iowa Economic Development Authority Board approved another $1 million in loans and state tax credits for the project at AGP’s complex near Sergeant Bluff, which currently includes a soybean processing plant, biodiesel plant and grain storage facilities.

The vegetable oil refinery will be designed for 30 rail tank cars per day. Estimated project costs include $2.5 million for site preparation, $14.5 million for construction and $71.5 million for new machinery and equipment.

Construction on the plant is set to begin next year and be completed by the spring of 2017, company officials announced Friday.

The project will create an estimated 20 jobs, adding to the existing 100 employed at AGP’s complex.

AGP CEO Keith Spackler said in a statement that the Sergeant Bluff complex currently converts soybeans into high-performance soy protein for the dairy industry, as well as clean-burning diesel fuel.

“Adding the capability to refine crude soybean oil is a natural progression,” Spackler said.

The state’s public em-

HAVANA (AP) — As the U.S. and Cuba begin to normalize relations for the first time in half a century, some Americans are already roaming the streets of Old Havana, attending dance exhibitions and talks on architecture as they take part in scripted cultural tours that can cost more than a decent used car back home.

The U.S. visitors are participants in the highly regulated “people-to-people” travel that President Barack Obama permitted in 2011 in one of his first moves toward detente with Cuba. The program aims to increase interaction with ordinary Cubans without creating uncomfortable images of Americans lounging on beaches in a single-party state. The tours tend to attract people sympathetic to improving ties with President Raul Castro’s government.

“It’s pre-selected for people who already want there to be change,” said Jonathan Anderson, a 33-year-old from Denver on an eight-day excursion that cost $6,000 per person.

“People aren’t coming here to see how evil Castro is.

They are coming here to reinforce ties.”

Travel experts said Sunday that the new opening to Cuba that Obama announced four days earlier goes far beyond the 2011 reform and could sharply increase U.S. tourism in the coming years.

Among the changes,

Obama directed the Treasury Department to expand the categories of travelers who can go to Cuba without requesting a license from the department first. Soon to be covered by a standing, blanket travel permit are participants in educational activities, the category that covers most people-to-people travel. Experts said that eliminating the licensing requirement could greatly reduce the costs of organized tours by cutting paperwork.

It also could, perhaps more importantly, allow huge numbers of Americans to legally travel on their own to Cuba.

In the past, people-to-people travelers could only go to Cuba under a license obtained by a travel company in a time-consuming process followed by lengthy government verification that travelers weren’t engaging in inappropriate leisure tourism.

“We can’t go to the beach and drink mojitos all day,” said Tony Pandola, who was leading Anderson’s trip with Global Expeditions of San Francisco, California.

“That doesn’t have any sort of objective as an educational or cultural exchange.”

Now, according to travel experts awaiting reg-

ulations expected within weeks, it appears tour companies will be able to head to Cuba and simply give the U.S. government their word that they’re engaging in educational travel and not ordinary tourism. Some think the new “general license” travel permits would apply to individuals, allowing people to go on their own.

“As long as with integrity they can say they’re going to engage with the Cuban people and learn about Cuba and talk about the United States then they don’t have to do anything other than say that’s what they’re doing,” said John McAuliff, executive director of the Fund for Reconciliation and Development, which has organized trips in the past.

The easing of tourism regulations is a gamble for both the U.S. and Cuba.

Obama said Wednesday that people-to-people travel was a way to “empower the Cuban people.” At the same time, a U.S. tourism surge could funnel sorely needed cash to a tourism industry run mostly by what

Obama described Friday as “a regime that represses its people.”

Experts don’t expect American tourists to flood Cuba immediately after the new regulations are published. The daunting complexity of the legal details and the possibility, even remote, of fines for violations will probably mean most new travel to Cuba will still go through tour organizers.

Those organizers are currently required to do business with state-run travel companies, meaning tour agendas are now almost entirely under the purview of the Cuban government.

People-to-people travel can cost $2,000 to $6,000 per person and tour organizers are supposed to keep the formal itinerary full to meet U.S. regulations. “We can go out and see things but we have to conform to the rules,” Anderson said.

General tourism to Cuba is still prohibited by the half-century old trade embargo, and it would take an act of Congress to lift it. But that hasn’t stopped many Americans from traveling to Cuba through a third country and keeping quiet about it when they go through immigration and customs upon arrival back in the United States.

Pedestrian perception Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about pedestrians in parking lots: “I wonder why so many people leaving a store don’t look for moving cars as they walk to their cars. Granted, cars should give pedestrians the right of way and travel at a slow speed. However, many people just barge out of stores and don’t look at all! I’m very surprised that there aren’t more pedestrians hit in parking lots.” — A Reader in Nebraska There may be a lot of “oops” involving pedestrians, and we don’t hear about them. People are supposed to have the right of way (laws vary from state to state), but they, too, should pay attention. I’ve seen people walking along, talking or texting on a cellphone, oblivious to what’s going on around them! One man walked into a stopped car and blamed the driver! What’s wrong here? — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Other uses for napkin rings: * Around small candles as decoration. * Slide ends of a scarf into one to hold in place. * Use to hold curtains open. * Attach a hanger and use

Hints from Heloise as an ornament. * Slip appliance cords into one.

— Heloise GIFT-CARD QUANDARY Dear Heloise: I often give gift cards to my son, who lives out of state, to go out to dinner. He tells me that restaurants allow them to use only 80 percent of the value of the gift card, and also require him to tip 20 percent. He was told it’s because the restaurant is afraid it will be stiffed on the tip. Is this standard in the industry? — Terri P., Brea, Calif.

No, it is not a standard practice in the restaurant industry.

It is up to the customer to decide to leave a tip — and how much to leave. An exception is where it is stated on the menu that for “parties of 6-8 or more, an automatic gratuity of (a certain percentage) will be added.” I’m still not sure that is entirely legal, either.

Granted, large parties are a

lot to handle, and the server should be tipped well for good and extra-good service.

Do remember that if things aren’t perfect or if maybe the food is slow getting to the table, it could be that the kitchen is slow and it is not the server’s fault. When the bill arrives, add the tip you want to leave, or do say that you will be leaving cash. The restaurant should NOT run your card until you approve the bill. If you have a question, ask to speak to a manager. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise.

Horoscope Tuesday, Dec. 23, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you are dealing with authority figures today, this is not a good day to accept increased responsibilities or volunteer for anything. Wait until tomorrow.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Try to do something different today, because you want adventure and a chance to learn something new. However, this is a poor day to spend money, except on gas and food.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your focus is on red-tape matters, including inheritances, shared property and debt.

This is not a good day to make important decisions. Wait until tomorrow.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a good day to have a heart-to-heart talk with a close friend, spouse or partner. It’s not a good day to agree to anything important. But it is a good day to share your feelings.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might not feel particularly efficient at work today. Don’t worry. It is what it is. Expect shortages and delays. Life feels sort of hazy and goofy. (It’s OK.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a wonderful, creative day for you! If you work in the arts or the entertainment world, you can be productive because you’re full of original, imaginative ideas.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might like to entertain at home today or just sit around and enjoy some warm, family discussions. Don’t spend money on anything other than gas and food.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might feel vague and indecisive today. Don’t worry about this, because many people feel this way. Avoid important decisions today; postpone them until tomorrow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a poor day to make important financial decisions or to shop. Only buy gas and food. You can do your homework and get your data, but wait until tomorrow to act.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Although this is a good time for you to buy wardrobe items, today is not the day. Just window shop. Be disciplined. Wait

until tomorrow to make your purchases.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You are quite aggressive now because fiery Mars is in your sign. Think twice before you act or speak, because you might regret it. Tomorrow you will feel more confident.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a good day for casual get-togethers and fun times with friends. Just keep things light and avoid important decisions.

YOU BORN TODAY You love

to pioneer and try new things.

You are excited to discover more about the world. You also want to be heard! Settle your debts this year, to prepare for financial accumulation in the next three years. To clear away indebtedness is the thrust of this year. Consolidate your affairs for future growth.

Creston cheerleader to perform in London New Year’s Day Parade MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Mariah Harlan, a junior at Creston High School, is one of more than 500 high school cheerleaders and dancers from across the U.S. who will be performing in the world famous London New Year’s Day Parade.

The individuals invited to perform in the parade qualified for the trip after being selected as an All American at one of the summer camps hosted by Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA), National Cheerleaders Association (NCA), United Spirit Association (USA), Universal Dance Association (UDA) and National Dance Alliance (NDA). All Americans are selected to try out based on superior cheerleading skills at camps across the country.

Varsity has been hosting camps since 1974. Since then, they have been leading the way by combing high en-

ergy entertainment with traditional school leadership.

Each year Varsity Brands trains more than 325,000 cheerleaders at more than 5,000 camp sessions.

Only the top 12 percent of the cheerleaders who attend Varsity summer camps earn the chance to march in the holiday spectacular.

In addition to performing in the London parade, the All Americans will have the chance to tour London during their seven-day trip.

“This is the 26th year we’ve been able to bring talented cheerleaders to London, where they can showcase their skills to a very enthusiastic international audience,” said Mike Fultz, the Varsity international event coordinator.

For more information, visit www.varsity.com or contact Mike Fultz at 800-2380286 or mfultz@varsityspirit. com.

United States mulls putting NKorea on terrorism sponsor list HONOLULU (AP) — President Barack Obama says the United States is reviewing whether to put North Korea back on its list of state sponsors of terrorism as Washington decides how to respond to what he calls an “act of cybervandalism,” not one of war, against a movie company.

North Korea has reacted angrily to Obama’s comments blaming it for the hacking of Sony, warning of strikes against the White House, Pentagon and “the whole U.S. mainland, that cesspool of terrorism.”

Such rhetoric is routine from North Korea’s propaganda machine during times of high tension with Washington. But the long statement from the powerful National Defense Commission late Sunday also underscored Pyongyang’s sensitivity about a movie, which has a plot focused on the assassination of its leader Kim Jong Un. Sony Pictures Entertainment, which said it canceled the theatrical release of “The Interview” after distributors refused to show it, pledged to find a way to get the film out.

“How it’s going to be distributed, I don’t think anybody knows quite yet,” a Sony lawyer said. The comedy involves a plot to assassinate North Korea’s leader.

Obama is promising to respond “proportionately” to an attack that law enforcement blames on North Korea.

“We’re not going to be intimidated by some cyberhackers,” he said.

The president said the U.S.

Rhw National Defense Commission, led

by Kim, warned that its 1.2 million-member army is ready to use all types of warfare against the U.S. ■

would examine the facts to determine whether North Korea should land back on the terrorism sponsors list.

“We’re going to review those through a process that’s already in place,” Obama told CNN’s “State of the Union” in an interview broadcast Sunday. “I’ll wait to review what the findings are.”

While raising the possibility of a terrorism designation, Obama also asserted, “I don’t think it was an act of war. I think it was an act of cybervandalism that was very costly, very expensive. We take it very seriously.”

Rhw National Defense Commission, led by Kim, warned that its 1.2 million-member army is ready to use all types of warfare against the U.S. “Our toughest counteraction will be boldly taken against the White House, the Pentagon and the whole U.S. mainland, the cesspool of terrorism, by far surpassing the ‘symmetric counteraction’ declared by Obama,” said the commission’s Policy

Department in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.

Obama’s description drew immediate scorn from two Republicans who are longtime critics of his foreign policy.

“It is a new form of warfare, and we have to counter with that form of warfare with a better form of warfare,” said Arizona Sen. John McCain.

Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina called it “an act of terrorism” and favored reimposing sanctions and adding North Korea to the terrorism list. The U.S. needs to “make is so hard on the North Koreans that they don’t want to do this in the future.”

North Korea spent two decades on the list until the Bush administration removed it in 2008 during nuclear negotiations. Only Iran, Sudan, Syria and Cuba remain on the list, which triggers sanctions that limit U.S. aid, defense exports and certain financial trans-

actions.

But adding North Korea back could be difficult. To meet the criteria, the State Department must determine that a country has repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism, a definition that traditionally has referred to violent, physical attacks rather than hacking.

North Korea threatened to strike back at the United States if Obama retaliated, the National Defense Commission said in a statement carried by the country’s official Korean Central News Agency. The statement offered no details of a possible response.

The U.S. is asking China for help as it considers how to respond to the hack. A senior Obama administration official says the U.S. and China have shared information about the attack and that Washington has asked for Beijing’s cooperation.

The official was not authorized to comment by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

China wields considerable leverage over North Korea, but Obama has accused China of carrying out cyberthefts, too.

Kuemper ice cold in 25-point loss to Panthers

NATIONAL DIGEST

UNI wins DES MOINES — Paul Jesperson scored 10 points and Northern Iowa rallied to beat Iowa 56-44 on Saturday in Des Moines and improve to 10-1.

The Panthers held the Hawkeyes (8-4) to a season low in points and bounced back from their first loss of year, a 93-87 double-overtime defeat at VCU last week.

Northern Iowa opened the second half on a 16-3 run, and Matt Bohannon’s 3 with 2:02 left put Northern Iowa up 52-43. Mike Gesell had 10 points to lead Iowa, which shot just 27.5 percent.

The Hawkeyes finished non-conference play at 1-4 against fellow Power 5 schools and the Panthers, who entered play with an RPI of 25.

Iowa also wilted early in the second half of losses to Texas and Iowa State.

ISU sails DES MOINES — Naz Long scored 13 points, Monte Morris had 12 and 13th-ranked Iowa State routed Drake 8354 on Saturday.

Dustin Hogue added 10 points to help the Cyclones (9-1) run their winning streak to six following a loss to Maryland last month.

Iowa State pushed a 16-point halftime lead to as much as 35 in the second half. The Cyclones shot 12 of 23 from 3-point range and had 25 assists on 32 field goals.

Highly touted transfer Jameel McKay had eight points and five rebounds in his debut with Iowa State. McKay sat out the first nine games after transferring from Marquette last year.

Trevor Berkeley and Jacob Enevold each had 10 points to lead Drake (2-9).

Seattle rolls GLENDALE, Ariz.

(AP) — Seattle looked a lot like the Super Bowl champs of last season in its 35-6 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday night.

Russell Wilson threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and the Seahawks amassed a franchise-record 596 yards to close in on another NFC West title and the No. 1 seed in the conference.

Seattle (11-4) moved into a tie with Arizona (11-4) for first in the NFC West and holds the tiebreaker by virtue of two wins over the Cardinals.

Chiefs fall PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger passed for 220 yards and a touchdown, Le’Veon Bell added a score and the Pittsburgh Steelers locked up a postseason berth with a methodical 20-12 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

The Panthers held a slim 13-12 lead through one quarter, when Jenna Taylor made two of her four 3-pointers and Brenna Baker added another. From there, Kuemper’s shooting was ice cold as Creston pulled out to quarter leads of 24-12 and 38-17.

For the game, Kuemper made only 2-of-20 shots from 3-point range and 8-of30 from 2-point range for 20 percent shooting overall from the field. Relying mostly on perimeter shots against Creston’s lane-smothering 1-2-2 zone defense, the Knights only got to the free CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON throw line four times in slipCreston senior Natalie Mostek races downcourt for a layup after one of her three steals ping to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in against Carroll Kuemper Catholic Friday night.

Some nights are like that.”

Kuemper had made 10 3-pointers in the second half of a recent win over Class 4A-ranked Lewis Central, and the lineup features Maria Dentlinger, a 6-1 senior forward committed to Northwest Missouri State.

Dentlinger managed only four points Friday, as junior guard Paige Overmohle was the team’s only player in double figures with 10 points.

Taylor finished with a game-high 19 points and 12 rebounds for Creston, improving to 6-2 heading into the Taylor holiday break, and 3-1 in Hawkeye Please see GIRLS, page 3S

Maitlen’s 6th-place finish leads Panthers at KC Stampede

Panther boys bounce back with win over Kuemper

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Seth Maitlen’s sixth-place finish at 195 pounds led Creston/O-M in the rugged 40-team field at the ninth annual Kansas City Stampede last weekend.

The event featured 43 state champions as 40 teams from 12 states congregated at Hale Arena. The compact schedule gave most wrestlers eight bouts in two days as matches were played out through 32nd place in each weight class.

Those who qualified for the “gold” championship bracket on Saturday, such as Maitlen, and five other Panthers were often opposed by state champions or state finalists for the duration of the tournament.

For Maitlen, a junior ranked eighth in Iowa in Class 2A, it was the best Panther finish at the prestigious event since two years ago when Jake Marlin and Keaton Hulett reached the finals, and Trevor Frain wrestled for fifth. Last year, Chase Shiltz (out with injury this year) and Frain placed seventh and eighth, respectively.

“I felt like this was the best I’ve seen Seth wrestle, ever,” Creston/O-M coach Darrell Frain said. “Every match he wrestled well. The kid who beat him in the quarterfinals got second. You finish in the top eight here, and it gives you an indication you should place reasonably high at state.”

Maitlen was 4-0 Friday in pool competition and picked up a fall in his fifth match. In the championship bracket,

he beat Joe Brett of Dowling Catholic 7-0 before losing by fall to Tennessee state champion Ryan Parker of Baylor School.

Maitlen rebounded to win two consolation matches by 6-2 and 5-1 decisions, then lost by the narrowest of mar- Maitlen gins, 3-2 in ultimate tiebreaker, in the fifth-place match against Christopher Hailey of Neosho, Mo. Neosho was the first-day team leader in the rugged field featuring nationally-ranked programs like Archer (Lawrenceville, Ga.), Please see STAMPEDE, page 2S

Groumoutis sinks six 3-pointers CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

CARROLL — Yet another hot shooting night from behind the 3-point arc propelled Creston a 74-62 win over Carroll Kuemper Catholic here Friday.

After suffering their first loss of the season Tuesday to Harlan, the Panthers used an 18-8 advantage in the second quarter to build a 14-point halftime lead.

Christian Groumoutis sank five 3-pointers in the first half to help Creston separate from Kuemper Catholic. Groumoutis The Panther se-

nior finished the game 6-of8 shooting from behind the arc, leading the team with 24 points.

“Christian got really hot from the outside and that really opened things up for us,” Creston head coach Brett Watson said. “Our defense was pretty steady, too. When we can hit outside shots, that helps out.

The boys shot really well.”

As a team, the Panthers shot 10-21 from behind the 3-point line. Cooper McDermott and Sam Hartsock each knocked down two 3-pointers.

“I’ve been saying all year, we have ultimate confidence in all our kids to shoot the basketball,” Watson said. “We feel like we have quite a few weapons Please see BOYS, page 3S

Diagonal falls in OT after furious comeback

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

DIAGONAL — Diagonal overcame a 14-point third-quarter deficit to force overtime, but came up short in a battle of two of the top teams in the Bluegrass Conference here Friday.

Grand View Christian escaped a packed and boisterous Diagonal gym with a 70-64 victory after making 6-of-8 free throws in the final 1:28 of overtime.

“Give them credit, they shot very well,” Diagonal head coach Matt Warren said. “They were all shooters. Makes them tough to guard, if every guy on the court can shoot. We feel we’re the same way, unfortunately ours didn’t go in.”

The Maroons started the second half by shooting seven straight 3-pointers. After Levi Jarred sank the first one to shrink the Grand View Christian lead to 34-30, the Maroons missed the next six 3-point attempts, as the Thunder built a 43-30 lead on a Robbie Seyler 3-pointer.

“You (don’t) want to shoot yourself out of a

game,” Warren said. “Our kids can shoot, but if they’re not going in, you have to adjust. And they did a good job of that.”

After Kade Means got a layup off an inbounds play, Seyler hit another 3-pointer to give the Thunder a 46-32 lead late in the third quarter.

A Jacob Taylor steal and layup, followed by three straight baskets by Blake Butler trimmed the Grand View Christian lead to 46-40, but the Thunder made two free throws to end the quarter up 48-40.

Big run The Maroons started the fourth quarter by upping their defensive pressure and driving to the basket on offense.

Jarred drove baseline for a layup and converted the free throw for a 3-point play, and then Taylor knocked down a 3-pointer from the corner to cut the lead to 48-46.

After Seyler hit a pair of free throws, Butler sliced through the lane for a basket then grabbed a defensive rebound and went coast to coast for a layup to tie the game at 50-50.

Stillwater (Oklahoma), Bettendorf (Iowa) and Tuttle (Oklahoma).

Archer had 10 wrestlers place in the top 10 to win the event with 557.5 points.

Neosho, Stillwater, Tuttle and Bettendorf rounded out the top five. Bettendorf senior Fredy Stroker became only the second four-time Kansas City Stampede champion when he defeated Platte County junior Ethan Karsten 3-0 for the 145-pound crown.

Dowling Catholic was 15th in the final standings with 241.5 points, one spot in front of Saint James Academy (Kan.), where Brian Bucklin of Creston teaches and coaches.

Creston/O-M was tied for 15th with 102.5 points after Friday’s opening four rounds, after going 27-25 in contested matches, plus four injury defaults when Kelby Luther was held out for the rest of the weekend for precautionary reasons after suffering a back injury.

“It was kind of like what happened to Kruz Adamson at state duals last year, where the kid took him down and his (Luther’s) feet went backwards over his head,” Frain said.

“They were fearful there could be fractures in his lower back, like what happened to Kruz, so everyone felt the best thing would be some rest for it to heal until he can be checked out.”

Frain said there weren’t enough wrestlers competing on the championship side of the bracket to keep pace with the top 20 teams, and the Panthers ended up 32nd in the 40-team field with 157.5 points. Creston/O-M is the smallest school in the field and one of three Iowa schools.

The best finishes for Creston/O-M have been fifth in the state championship year of 2006-07, and eighth in 2007-08 when Andrew Long and Kalab Evans were individual champions. Collin Bevins has also been an individual champion for the Panthers.

“It’s one of our lower finishes,” Frain said. “We know Chase (Shiltz) would have scored a lot of points for us. For me, it’s more about the individual finishes. It’s non-stop for two days. The mental aspect is unreal. We had more kids this year who have never been there, and you have to go through the process to be fully ready for it.”

Frain has long maintained that the experience is valuable down the road for multiple tough matches encountered in state duals and the individual state tournament.

“You can have some really good kids come back with not so great records after this tournament, but you’re tested and ready for the important wrestling after the (holiday) break,” Frain said.

Top placers The other highlights for Creston/O-M were 14thplace finishes for Wyatt Thompson (132), Mitchel Swank (138) and Jake Gutschenritter (285); a 15th-place finish by Tayler Pettit (170); and a 16thplace finish at 145 by Joey Huntington, who was on pace for a higher placing before having to injury de-

fault and forfeit his final two matches.

“He got dropped on his head when he got pinned (first consolation round),” Frain said. “Then it happened again in the next match, so we forfeited the two final matches. By the end of the day he was fine, but the trainer held him out as a precautionary thing. He was right there, wrestling really well and beating some good kids until that happened.”

The team’s standout after Maitlen might have been the performance of Thompson at 132 pounds, Frain noted.

He had a 4-4 record, but lost in the 13th-place match to O k l a h o - Thompson ma state runner-up Brik Filippo of Tuttle, 4-3. One of his other losses was by a 6-5 decision. The only lopsided loss was to Dowling’s Michael Zachary, who was beating the nation’s No. 1-ranked wrestler until the final seconds of the title bout.

“I felt like Wyatt was right there in every match,” Frain said. “It was his first time down at 132, and he really looked good.”

Likewise, Pettit lost to a state champion 10-6 in the pool round, and got in a matchup of “cradle” spe- Pettit cialists against a Tennessee finalist in losing his first championship round bout.

“He wrestled well and had a chance to get a little higher,” Frain said. “He’s way ahead of where he was a year ago.”

Another Panther showing improvement from last season is Gutschenritter at heavyweight.

He had the misfortune of drawing eventual champion Brey Gutschenritter Walker of Southmoore, Okla The 6-foot7, 285-pound freshman pinned his way through every round but the finals, where he scored a major decision.

“Jake competed with every other kid really well,” Frain said. “The Oklahoma kid will be a Division I football prospect, no doubt. He’s the most impressive freshman I’ve ever seen. Jake was called for locking hands in the third overtime, that was the only difference in his 13th place match.”

Promising freshman Frain also felt it was a solid tournament for Swank

in his debut as a freshman t r a n s fer from M o u n t Ayr. He was 3-1 on Friday, then lost in the c h a m p i - Swank onship bracket to Oklahoma state champion Beau Guffey of Tuttle before working his way into the 13th-place match.

Jackson Mikkelsen had several close matches at 182 pounds, including a 3-1 loss to Bettendorf’s Brady Neyrinck in the 19th-place match.

“Even the kids who didn’t place that high, every one of them had their moments where they did some good things,” Frain said. “They kept competing and it’s mentally tough on you to face that competition over and over again. I’m excited about how we’ll come out after Christmas.”

It’s a busy first week with the final two home appearances. Lewis Central, which placed second at the Fort Dodge Invitational Saturday, visits Creston Jan. 6 along with Carroll Kuemper Catholic.

Spencer Wray will be back in the Panther lineup at a middleweight position, and 2014 state runner-up Shiltz will learn this week if he will make his return from arthroscopic knee surgery in the first week of January.

“Keith Massey is helping them again and Doug Kjeldgaard is coaching them. They’re really going well right now,” Frain said.

“We go to Harlan on that Thursday and our tournament is on Saturday.

That’s our last home meets unless we host a (dual) regional.”

GIRLS: Continued from page 1S

10 Conference games. Natalie Mostek had a big overall game with 16 points, six rebounds and three steals — two that led to coast-tocoast layups.

Taylor Briley anchored the primary ball handling duties and mixed in 12 points with several quick drives and pull-up jumpers in addition to distributing five assists.

It was sweet redemption for Mostek, who was hounded by No. 1 Harlan’s defense Tuesday in a twopoint night.

“This was fun,” Mostek said. “Being faceguarded like that (Harlan game) was not fun, and I just wasn’t aggressive enough with it. Tonight I decided to be more aggressive and take it to the hole.”

Creston opened with a man-to-man defense against the Knights, but quickly changed to a 1-2-2 zone with Mostek hounding the smaller guards out front. Most Kuemper shots were con-

tested by quick closeouts.

“We talked about keeping one on the ball, and the others back in help,” Creston coach Brent Douma said.

“Give them nothing easy, and always contest a shot.

They really didn’t get many open looks.”

Kuemper, meanwhile, tried in vain to press the Panthers early, but then pulled back into a mix of zone and man-to-man defenses that didn’t throw the Creston offense off rhythm.

Kuemper never seemed to recover from Taylor’s 3-point bombing early.

“Jenna shoots a lot during practice and after practice from 3-point range,” Douma said. “We just went with one post player (Cammy Rutherford), and brought Jenna out to the perimter.

She was getting open looks off the ball reversal.”

Taylor said she got additional incentive by something Creston boys coach Brett Watson saw in a Kuemper locker room upon arriving there for the boys game Friday.

“We heard that on their scouting report, that I couldn’t shoot,” Taylor said.

“Watson saw it in their locker room. I wanted to send a message there. Taylor (Briley) had a couple drives and kickouts to me. She’s really stepped up this year.”

“Taylor Briley, sometimes she just breaks a press by herself with her quickness,” Douma said. “And Natalie played a whale of a game.. We ended up with seven turnovers for the game. That’s pretty good.”

Snyder thought his team might have success with pressure defense against Creston. But it did not work in this matchup.

“Part of our shooting problem was that we tried to press, and I think that took our legs out,” Snyder said.

“We felt we could press these guys and spread them out, but it wasn’t that effective. They really execute their plays well, they really run their stuff.”

Douma hopes the week was a confidence-builder, after playing well for three

quarters against top-ranked Harlan and Friday’s dominating performance.

“I told them afterward, there’s not one team left on their schedule that we shouldn’t go into the game expecting to win,” Douma said. “And I meant it. I want them to start believing it.”

Mostek and Taylor seemed convinced.

“Coach said we have the potential to win from here on out, and that’s what we’re going to try to do,” said Mostek, who led Creston’s volleyball resurgence f r o m Mostek eighth place last year in the conference to a third-place tie this year.

“We’re going to be a force to be reckoned with, I think,” Taylor said. “Before we were kind of looked down on. Now, people are going to have to watch for us. We think it’s wide open

for second, and who knows, maybe somebody can knock off Harlan. We want to carry over that momentum we had in volleyball.”

Creston is now idle until traveling to Interstate 35 of Truro on Jan. 5.

JUNIOR VARSITY Creston held leads of 8-5 and 15-12 after two quarters of the junior varsity game, but Kuemper came out and outscored the Panthers 18-12 in the second half to snare a 30-27 victory.

Creston was down three points with the ball with 19 seconds left, but lost possession and fouled Kuemper. The Knights missed at the free throw line, but the Panthers were unable to score again.

“We should have won that basketball game by double digits,” said Creston coach Ryan McKim. “We couldn’t get any offense going.”

The Panthers were without guard Caitlin McIlravy, sitting out with a concussion suffered against Harlan Tuesday. Sophomore Madison Callahan had a team-high eight points for Creston.

There was no freshman game.

Creston (27) — Madison Callahan 8, Lexei Little 6, Maria Mostek 5, Jessica Beatty 4, Alli Thomson 2, Becca Ross 2.

3-point goals — Mostek 1. Free throws — 2-3. Halftime score — Creston 15, Kuemper 12.

Kuemper (56) — Karsyn Thomsen 6, Kate Dickman 6, Allison King 4, Kalee Peter 4, Brandi Leverington 3, Kendra Peter 2, Abby Derner 2.

3-point goals — Thompson 2, Leverington 1, Dickman 1. Free throws — 5-8.

around the perimeter. Kind of nice to shoot that well in an opposing team’s gym.”

Senior point guard McClain Haines dished out six assists, setting the table for the Panthers. Jay Wolfe finished the game with 20 points, Haines despite playing through foul trouble and shooting 0-5 from behind the 3-point line.

“McClain was very steady at the point the whole time,” Watson said. “It was big for us, because Jay got in foul trouble. We played a long time without him in the third quarter. It was good for the other guys to step up.

We had a lot of guys make contributions.”

The Panthers extended their lead to about 20 points in the fourth quarter before Kuemper fought its way back to within eight points.

“They made some plays and hit some threes,” Watson said. “We need to shoot a little better from the free throw line. We had a comfortable enough margin throughout.”

Creston shot just 16-26 from the free throw line.

The Panthers end the 2014 portion of their schedule

with a 6-1 mark. They pick the season back up at home on Jan. 5 against Lewis Central, which beat Harlan on Friday, 60-49.

“We’re getting better each and every game,” Watson said. “We learned a lot from the Harlan game on Tuesday. Nice to see our guys bounce back and get a win over a quality Kuemper team. It’s nice to see some things we need to work on.

We’re going to spend some time over break working on those. Hopefully we can make a run in 2015.”

JUNIOR VARSITY The Creston JV team lost to Kuemper Catholic on Friday, 68-40.

Cody Crawford led the Panther JV with 13 points.

Ian Burns chipped in 10 points, while Brendan McDowell scored six. Kyle Somers netted five points.

Ryan Kucera and Brandon Jones each scored three points.

FRESHMEN The Creston freshmen lost a 56-37 game to Kuemper Catholic on Friday after trailing by just one point at halftime.

“We were down by one at halftime (23-22) and had strung enough quality possessions together and played good team defense,” freshman coach Todd Jacobson said. “Outscored 17-10 in the third and hit a scoring drought in the fourth. We are showing signs of offensive improvement. This break will give us a great opportunity to improve in a lot of important areas for the rest of our season.”

Cole Higgins and Tucker Flynn each scored 10 points to lead the Panthers. Jade Driskell pulled down 13 rebounds.

for too many threes and they weren’t going in, so I got on them about getting to the rim. We started doing that, getting them in foul trouble and we started to score a lot more.”

Noah Burt’s traditional 3-point play put the Thunder back up 53-50, but Butler got another steal and layup, and then Jarred drove baseline for a layup plus the foul again, giving Diagonal a 55-53 lead with 2:57 left in the game.

Over the course of the first five minutes of the fourth quarter, Diagonal went on a 15-5 run.

The two teams traded 3-pointers, and then Burt hit 3-pointers on back-toback trips down the floor for Grand View Christian to put the Thunder up 6260.

Butler’s basket off an inbounds pass tied things at 62-62 with :31 left in the game. Grand View intended to hold for the final shot, but Diagonal fouled with :13 left on the clock.

The free throw missed, and Taylor pulled down the rebound and tried to pass into the frontcourt to Jarred, but the pass was too hard and went out of bounds. Grand View’s final shot attempt was off the mark, sending the game to overtime.

Once in overtime, Diag-

onal couldn’t get anything going on the offensive end and Grand View made enough free throws to pull away.

Taylor led four Maroon players in double figures with 19 points.

Butler added 16, as Jarred s c o r e d Taylor 13 and Gerad Naill chipped in 10 points.

Stephen Glenn led all scorers with 21 points.

Burt added 19 and Seyler scored 16 for the Thunder.

“It was fun,” Warren said of the game. “You wish you come out on top, but you have to appreciate the effort from both teams.

It was back and forth. We knew it was going to be like that. I just appreciate our guys’ effort. Hopefully we start winning these close ones.”
