Iowans encouraged to invest tax refunds into college savings

These pieces of art, created by members of the Southwest Iowa Shutterbugs, are on display throughout April at the Depot Gallery in Creston. “Rainy Afternoon,” shown right, is a photo printed on canvas that was taken by Sheila Sutton near the Madison County Historical Society in Winterset. Also pictured is “Blue Eyed Girl,” a photo of a kitten, taken by Kathy Rohrig.

Shutterbugs display photos at Depot Gallery

This month, the Creston Depot Gallery is filled with snapshots of significant moments – a bronco reared up as its rider prepares to hold on for eight seconds, an old building and windmill viewed through a downpour of rain and a man looking out a window of a train with his reflection captured.

The Southwest Iowa Shutterbugs camera club has a collection of photos – some framed, some printed on canvas – on display at the Depot Gallery for the month of April. Many of the landscapes, portraits and abstracts on display are also for sale.

“It is an incredible variety of photos,” said Brian Zachary, gallery manager. “The

scape photos in this group are really excellent. And, the portraits have great narrative quality.”

T h e photography c l u b , which started eight Zachary y e a r s ago, has about 30 members who meet on the first and third Thursdays of each month.

The photographers are of a variety of ages and skill levels, and they capture an array of subject matter.

The Shutterbugs were one of the first art groups in Creston and one of the first groups to show at the Depot Gallery, Zachary said.

“They just want to show

people who are interested in photography to join their club,” he said. “Most of the (photos) are figurative in that they represent something. Others have a more abstract quality that are more about line and shape and less about content.”

Kim Scharfenkamp

Shutterbug member Kim Scharfenkamp of Mount Ayr has been in the club for about three years. For this exhibit, she is showing a few of her photos.

Scharfenkamp snapped the bronc riding photo at the Allendale, Missouri, rodeo in 2014.

“It tells a whole story of that eight seconds or however long the (rider) was on,” Zachary said.

For Scharfenkamp, the photo has a deeper meaning.

“My great-grandparents are all from the Allendale area, and we always go to the rodeo,” Scharfenkamp said. “After I took it, I decided it was good enough to put in the Iowa State Fair. It got an honorable mention up there in 2015.

It was just a nice picture, and I really value (Allendale).”

Scharfenkamp also took the photo of the man, which is her husband, looking out a train window in 2015. She titled it “Deep in Thought.”

“We were on the train to Boone for Valentine’s Day, and I looked over, and he was looking out the window, and there’s kind of his reflection in the window,” Scharfenkamp said.

“It also was displayed at

DES MOINES (AP) — Planned Parenthood in Iowa would have no state funding under a budget bill advanced Thursday by some House Republicans, but the proposal is not expected to have enough support in the Democratic-majority Senate.

The House Appropriations Committee voted along party lines for language in a health and human services budget bill that would remove Medicaid funding for family

DES MOINES — State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald encourages Iowa taxpayers to make the most of their tax refunds by investing them in College Savings Iowa.

“I would also like to remind Iowans that there is still time to contribute for 2015 and claim a tax deduction of up to $3,163 per College Savings Iowa account,” Fitzgerald said.

New this year, Iowa taxpayers may elect to contribute to their College Savings Iowa account up through the tax deadline for filing an individual Iowa state income tax return, which is May 2.

“This is a great opportunity to use your federal tax return to open a new College Savings Iowa account or contribute to your current accounts, and still receive the 2015 Iowa state tax deduction,” Fitzgerald added.

College Savings Iowa is designed to provide families a tax-advantaged way to save money for their children’s higher education. It only takes $25 to open an account, and anyone – parents, grandparents, friends and relatives – can invest in College Savings Iowa on behalf of a child. Participants who are Iowa taxpayers can deduct contributions up to $3,188 per beneficiary from their 2016 adjusted gross income, and there are no income or residency restrictions. Adjusted annually for inflation. If withdrawals are not qualified, the deductions must be added back to Iowa taxable income.

Sheila Sutton Shutterbug member Sheila Sutton of Lorimor has been in the club for nearly eight years, and she has several photos on display this month.

One of her photos, titled “Popcorn,” is one of Zachary’s favorite pieces in this exhibit.

“It’s an unusual choice because it’s seemingly about nothing, but it’s a great piece (about) graphic design,” Zachary said. “On about the sixth time I looked at it, I noticed a window and a room behind it, so the layers of the photo really speak to me.”

Sutton took the photo this past year while she was at work. She works part time at the Whistle Stop Convenience Store in Lorimor.

“It was a slow afternoon at work, and I had all my work done and had my camera on me,” Sutton said. “I was looking through the lens to see if I

on a family farm near Creston in southwest Iowa and attended AIB. She worked in Des Moines, where she married Richard (Dick) Lewis at St. John’s Lutheran Church in 1941, just before he was sent to the Pacific with the U.S. Army.

After the war, the couple settled in Creston and raised a family of four children. They moved to Reinbeck and then Cedar Falls before settling in Iowa City in December 1960.

She was a tireless volunteer at Zion and as a member of the Mercy Hospital Guild, a legendary and adventurous cook, and a sometime world traveler before her husband’s death in 1995.

She survived by her children, Dianne Naumann (Dennis) of La Crosse, Wisconsin, Rick of Peguche, Ecuador, Tom (Beth) of Mt. Vernon and David (Mary) of Rhinebeck, New York; her sister Edna Stone, of Mission, Kansas; eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

She was also preceded in death by her brother Harry Kralik and grandson Steve Gosse.

to poor and disabled residents.

“We believe in working within the budget and why would we give up federal dollars?” said Sen. Amanda Ragan, D-Mason City and chairwoman of the Senate subcommittee that also approves health and human services funding.

Rep. Walt Rogers, R-Cedar Falls and a member of the House committee that advanced the bill, said the state would fill the gap left by the removal of federal dollars.

“We don’t want that money going to organizations that provide abortions,” he said.

“That is the issue that causes angst within our caucus.”

Medicaid dollars are not used for abortions in Iowa.

There is a measure that technically allows Medicaid payments for medically necessary abortions, but it requires approval from Gov. Terry Branstad and the Republican governor has never approved it.

Chuck Hurley, a representative for The Family Leader Foundation, an anti-abortion organization, said it is “disingenuous” to believe state dollars given to the Planned Parenthood affiliate in Iowa doesn’t help provide abortions. He has been involved in previous efforts to defund the organization and he expects the issue to possibly delay the session’s scheduled

adjournment in a few days.

“The tension is going to be even greater this year,” he said.

Other state legislatures have taken similar defunding action following the release of secret videos by anti-abortion activists that show Planned Parenthood officials discussing how they sometimes supply fetal tissue for medical research. Those activists allege the videos show Planned Parenthood profited from the sale of fetal tissue. Planned Parenthood has denied wrongdoing and several state investigations around the country have not produced evidence that it acted illegally.

Planned Parenthood of the Heartland provides health services in Iowa. Erin Davison-Rippey, director of public affairs for the organization, said the budget language would reduce family planning services for low-income residents.

“This is a politically motivated move that would ultimately hurt women and families in Iowa,” she said in a statement.

Senators Moran, Ernst encourage new generation of ag producers WASHINGTON, D.C. – Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), a member of the Senate appropriations agriculture subcommittee, and Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) this week introduced the Agriculture Students Encourage, Acknowledge, Reward, Nurture (EARN) Act (S. 2774).

The legislation amends the tax code to exclude from gross income the first $5,000 earned by students who are 18 years old or younger on agricultural projects completed under the supervision of 4-H or FFA. “For agriculture and our rural way of life to thrive, it is essential for a new generation of young people to return to rural America to live, work and raise their families,” Moran said. “Our policies, including the tax code, should encourage this goal by fostering student interest in pursuing a career in agriculture, and I’m proud to have Sen. Ernst join me in introducing the Agriculture Students EARN Act.” “It is so important that we encourage our students to stay engaged in vocational and agricultural education programs, particularly as the demand for young farmers continues to grow. I’m proud to support the Agriculture Students EARN Act, which would promote our youth’s involvement in programs that serve as an introduction to careers in

agriculture,” said Ernst, a former member of the 4-H. “Alleviating some of the tax burden these hardworking students face on the income they earn from 4-H or FFA projects is a step in the right direction to help bridge the generational gap, and ensure our youth is ready to take the reins when their time comes.”

Agricultural projects completed by students under the supervision of 4-H clubs and FFA chapters may include showing animals at local and state fairs, growing and harvesting crops, building agricultural mechanic projects and many other possibilities.

The projects encourage personal growth and responsibility, while also providing the opportunity for students to generate modest revenues. The money earned by a student is often used to finance future agricultural projects, deposited in savings or used to fund a college education. S. 2774 would protect students involved in 4-H and FFA and the money they earn from the IRS by lowering or eliminating the tax burden on the students.

According to the latest agricultural census, the average age of the U.S. farmer is over 58 years old and trending upward. By lowering the tax burden on projects, S. 2774 would encourage students to complete agricultural projects under 4-H and FFA.

Sutton also shot the photo of a worn building and windmill, which are viewed through pouring rain. Sutton took the photo, titled “Rainy Afternoon,” amidst other Shutterbugs on a trip to the Madison County Historical Society in Winterset.

“We were going to take pictures around the historical campus, and it started raining, and I looked over, and the way the sun was hitting that building, I could see the raindrops,” Sutton said. “I think I may have just taken one or two (shots), and I didn’t expect it to turn out at all, but I was pleasantly surprised with how it looked. I chose to print it on canvas because I felt like CNA photo by KELSEY HAUGEN it needed a more prominent “Going Up,” a photo taken by Southwest Iowa Shutterbug member Kim Scharfenkamp, shows a bronc rider exiting a stall at the rodeo in Allendale, Missouri, in 2014. way to display it.”

Global finance officials searching for ways to boost growth, battle economic threats WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing a shaky world economy and political attacks on free trade, global finance leaders meeting in Washington are searching for ways to increase cooperation to battle a variety of economic threats.

The International Monetary Fund is urging countries to launch a new round of public works projects to improve roads and other types of infrastructure in hopes the higher government spending will boost growth. But in an era of high budget deficits, that call has not met with much support.

The discussions are being held as part of the spring meetings of the 189-nation IMF and its sister lending organization, the World Bank.

Leaders of both institutions are sounding the alarm about the need for greater efforts to boost growth to make sure the world economy does not

topple back into recession.

The Group of 20, representing the world’s biggest economies, is wrapping up two-days of talks on Friday with Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen representing the United States. Those talks will be followed by meetings Saturday of the policy-setting panels of the IMF and World Bank.

Lew met on Thursday with his counterparts from China and Japan.

In a statement, the U.S. side said that both Lew and Chinese Finance Minister Lou Jiwei had discussed the importance of China moving toward a market-determined exchange rate in an “orderly and transparent way, while clearly communicating its policies and actions to the market.”

China’s government roiled markets in August and again in January with actions that raised worries that the

world’s second largest economy was slowing more sharply than had been forecast, a development that raised concerns about the economic fallout on other nations.

In opening news conferences on Thursday, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde and World Bank President Jim Yong Kim stressed the need for stronger policies to combat the growing risks.

The two officials sought to address the political backlash against globalization, which has helped propel the presidential campaign of Republican front-runner Donald Trump in the United States and has triggered an upcoming vote in Britain over wheth-

er that country should exit from the European Union.

Both Lagarde and Kim said the answer to stagnant wages in many industrial nations and complaints about jobs being lost to trade competition was to pursue growth-oriented policies such as a boost in government infrastructure spending.

Kim rejected the idea that countries can boost stagnant wages by raising trade barriers. He said that lowering trade barriers had helped lift millions of people around the world out of poverty.

“This movement toward isolationism and the movement away from trade is very bad for poor people,” Kim told reporters. “It is very bad for our efforts to reduce poverty.”

Lagarde said that the recovery from the 2008 financial crisis and the deep recession that followed was still “too slow and too fragile.”

She noted that the IMF has

ENTERTAINMENT

A door to work Dear Heloise: I needed an inexpensive WORK AREA, so I took an old wooden-type door, removed the doorknob and placed it on top of two sturdy, two-drawer file cabinets.

The hole in the door where the knob was is toward the back, and it accommodates electrical cords from my computer, phone, lamp, chargers, etc. There is a power strip on the floor for the electrical cords.

The file cabinets, which are on opposite ends of the door, give me a place to store my work. The workspace is immense, too. – James, via email James, this is a great hint for anyone, and perfect (low or no cost) for college students, a spare room or a garage. Cheap and easy to take apart. – Heloise HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO FRIENDS WHO HAVE APRIL BIRTHDAYS! – Heloise TRAVELING CDs Dear Heloise: In response to your plug for our public libraries, my husband and I check out CD books to listen to as we travel. What a joy to hear a book on our way to visit family. – Sharon and Mel

Hints from Heloise B., Fulton, Miss.

It is a nice way to pass the time! Readers, do yourself a favor and visit a library! You never know what you will discover there. – Heloise EASY JELLY SAUCE Dear Heloise: Do you, by any chance, have an easy and quick recipe for a jelly sauce I can use when I serve meat or fish dishes? The easier, the better! – Brad, via email Brad, absolutely, and it’s so easy, you’ll wonder, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Here’s my Spicy Swedish Meatballs sauce. Use equal portions of grape jelly and cocktail (red) sauce. Put in a medium saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until just bubbling. Then remove the pan from the heat and pour over the fish/meat, or use as a dipping-type sauce.

Bon appetit! – Heloise WRINKLE RELEASE Dear Heloise: When my clothes are slightly wrinkled and I don’t have time to iron them, I put them in my dryer with a wet microfiber cloth and let them tumble for a few minutes. I do this on mornings when I am getting ready for work rather than take time to iron the garment. If BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker it’s really wrinkled, then yes, I iron it. – Judy Z., via email SMART GRILLIN’ Dear Readers: When you grill something that cooks for only a short time, like fish, have portions of another meat ready to cook.

IA TOPS 1338 met 5 p.m.

March 28 at First United Methodist Church in Creston to weigh in. At the 5:30 p.m. meeting, 10 members answered roll call. An 11-pound net loss was recorded. Best loser was Monica B. and second was Diana Loomis. For the month of March, Mitzi Cellan was the best loser and Monica was runner-up.

Loomis read the minutes, which were approved. Alice Brown gave the treasurer’s report which was approved.

Bev Lyon received the fines from March 21 for maintaining her weight loss of the previous week. Squares went to Bev Roberts.

“The Lyons” won the team contest. Their members will receive a month’s free dues. The Red Can challenge was to keep a food diary.

Leader Anna Thompson called the meeting to order 5:30 p.m. April 4.

A net loss of 10.25 pounds was reported. Eleven members had weighed in. Shellie Sullivan and Roberts were best losers. For the quarter, Lyon and Cellan tied for first. Sandy Oswald was second. A net loss of 33.50 pounds was recorded.

Monica presented the program, sharing information about 1,200-year-old Mayan murals found in dirt mounds in the jungles of Guatemala. Huge columns of numbers were present and believed to be based on astrology and the Mayan calendar. After intense study, it was believed the calculations projected into the future for 7,000 years, predicting cycles of new beginnings but no final end.

This thought can be applied to weight loss and improved health as each day is a new start to achieve both.

Loomis read minutes from March 28, and Brown gave the treasurer’s report.

Both were approved. Monica received fines and Roberts won squares.

Standing Rock Sioux protests

CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON

New bleachers: Creston’s soccer field near Creston Elementary/Middle School has newly-installed bleachers on the south

sideline now. There are also plans for a scoreboard to be erected at the southeast corner of the field. A parking area is available on the south side near the bus barn, and directly east of the field.

CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — The Standing Rock Sioux has set up a camp in North Dakota to protest a planned pipeline to carry crude from the Bakken oil fields to Illinois over concerns that a spill would impact the tribe’s drinking water.

The “spirit camp” at the confluence of the Cannonball and Missouri rivers has been occupied for two weeks, with people coming and going in peaceful protest, The Bismarck Tribune reported. There is no scheduled end date.

People at the camp are sleeping in shelters, eating donated food and spending their days in contemplation, conversation and prayer.

Willow frames for sweat lodges and a colorful prayer post stand beside the camp, along with tribal flags.

The camp is modeled af-

ter one occupied for months by residents of South Dakota’s Rosebud Indian Reservation to protest the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that ultimately was rejected by President Barack Obama.

The proposed $3.8 billion, 1,130-mile Dakota Access pipeline by Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners would pass through North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa on its way to Illinois.

Regulators in all states have approved the project, but it still needs federal approval.

The Environmental Protection Agency and two other federal agencies recently asked the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to more carefully review the pipeline, saying the corps should pay closer attention to the impact a spill would have on drinking water for Native American tribes.

Trees planted in Creston using Alliant Energy Trees Forever $9,990 grant Creston FFA Chapter and Southwestern Community College (SWCC) agriculture department partnered together to plant 51 deciduous trees and six evergreens valued at $9,990 during the first week of April.

The trees were planted at SWCC and Creston Elementary Middle School campuses, and along the walking trail from McKinley Park to West Prairie Street.

“The impact these tree planting projects will have on our community might not be so noticeable today, but it is something future generations will come to appreciate,” said Kelsey Bailey, Creston FFA advisor.

Creston FFA has utilized the Alliant Energy Trees Forever grant since 1992 to secure 36 grants, which has resulted in the planting of 1,983 deciduous and 764 evergreen trees worth $297,588. In all, 3,108 deciduous trees, 720 evergreen trees and 786 shrubs valued at $584,575 have been planted in 121 landscaping projects throughout the Creston community

involving a variety of grant resources. This past year saw two Alliant Trees Forever grants plant 117 trees worth $19,990.

The local FFA chapter has utilized the many tree planting projects to build on their success in the State FFA Community Environment Award competition at the state level. The Creston FFA Chapter has been recognized at the state level for 12 consecutive years, winning state competitions in community development, economic development or Environmental Development 10 times since the award’s inception in 2004.

“Planting trees through the Trees Forever program has been an opportunity to build environmental diversity while improving the natural beauty of our town,” said Zach Hoffman, Creston FFA president, “not to forget the hands-on learning that takes place when planting the trees.”

The Numbers Game

+43

Run differential for the Cubs through 9 games, tied for 2nd best in the modern era.

National Digest

Trade up The Los Angeles Rams are leaning toward making Cal quarterback Jared Goff the top overall pick after acquiring the selection Thursday from the Tennessee Titans, but a team source added that the team would also consider North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz before it has to make the pick on April 28.

The source said that one reason the Rams made this deal now was to give the team “two weeks to debate between Goff and Wentz. You can make a convincing case for both. Both are going to be good.”

Rams general manager Les Snead said the team had done “90 to 95 percent” of its research on the pick but would not reveal a decision until the draft.

Tennessee sent the top selection, along with its fourth- (No. 113) and sixth-round (No. 177) picks this year, to the Rams in a blockbuster trade in exchange for Los Angeles’ first-round pick (No. 15), two second-round selections (Nos. 43 and 45) and a third-round pick (No. 76) in 2016. The Titans will also get the Rams’ firstand third-round picks in 2017.

Rematch The Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos won’t have to wait long for a rematch of Super Bowl 50.

The teams will meet Sept. 8 in a nationally televised Thursday night opener in Denver.

The game highlights the 2016 NFL schedule, which was released Thursday night. It included the slate for the 47th season of Monday Night Football.

Denver defeated Carolina 24-10 in Super Bowl 50 in February. Linebacker Von Miller was named the game’s most valuable player after collecting 2.5 sacks against quarterback Cam Newton.

Two of those resulted in fumbles that led to touchdowns.

Cubs sweep CHICAGO — Some longtime Chicago Cubs fans still haven’t gotten over the epic collapse of 1969, but their team isn’t into black cats or goats or any other excuse at the moment.

Jason Hammel pitched six scoreless innings, drove home one run and scored another to lead the Chicago Cubs to an 8-1 victory and a three-game sweep over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday night.

At 8-1, they’ve off to their best start in 47 years.

Dexter Fowler and Addison Russell had three hits each for Chicago, and Kris Bryant hit his second home run.

Hammel (1-0) allowed four hits, walked four and struck out three on 88 pitches in chilly weather.

Raisel Iglesias (1-1) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over five innings.

The Reds ended the shutout in the ninth against Justin Grimm, the last of three relievers.

Bryant hit a solo homer on a full-count pitch in the second inning for a 1-0 lead. In the fifth, Hammel lined an RBI double, then scored on Ben Zobrist’s sacrifice fly.

Panthers can’t hold momentum against Denison

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

A missed opportunity.

That’s what Thursday’s game against Denison-Schleswig amounted to for the Creston girls soccer team.

The Panthers, 1-4 overall and 1-3 in Hawkeye 10 Conference play, took leads of 1-0 and 2-1 against the Lady Monarchs, who came into Thursday’s game with an 0-3 record by a combined score of 30-0.

But Creston couldn’t hold momentum after taking those leads and saw Denison-Schleswig pull away from a 2-2 halftime deadlock to a 4-2 lead in the second half, before the Monarchs ultimately held on for the 4-3 win.

“The hard part was we told the girls yesterday if they play like they practice, this is what would happen,” Creston head coach Kim Lauffer said. “They have to start practicing better and being on their toes more.

They did better on Monday for the most part and that made a difference on Tuesday when we managed to squeak out a win.”

Aside from a fast start, Lauffer didn’t see the aggressiveness she had hoped to see from her team.

Freshman Taylor Buxton got the Panthers started in a hurry, scoring just 45 seconds Buxton

into the game. After Kalan Bloodgood dribbled the ball forward, Buxton sent a shot from the left side of the box into the right corner for a goal.

Alex Mohr answered back at the 6:01 mark, however, tying the game at 1-1.

Buxton gave the Panthers another lead at 2-1 when she ripped a ball into the upper 90 at the 17:32 mark.

Minutes later, Buxton drew a foul in the box, setting up a penalty shot.

Shelby Palser’s penalty shot was saved and Denison-Schleswig went right down the field and tied the game at 2-2 when Caytlin Lee lofted a ball into the air and the wind caused it to sail just over the reach of Panther goalkeeper Leah Schuler and into the net.

“Honestly, part of it was just not playing our positions well and not being ready,” Lauffer said. “We were on our heels, because we thought, ‘o we just got a penalty kick in the box.’

They counted us quickly and they’re fast when it comes to transitions in the middle area.”

Schuler kept the Panthers in the game with several critical saves on tough shots, but Schuler D e n i son-Schleswig finally broke through again in the second half with goals by Tori Herrig and Mohr’s second goal.

Schuler finished with 14 saves in the game.

Creston senior Shelby Palser settles a pass off a corner kick while Denison-Schleswig’s Tori Herrig looks on during the first half of Creston’s 4-3 loss to the Lady Monarchs.

Palser scored one goal in the loss.

“We played on our heels probably 90 percent of the time,” Lauffer said. “The other 10 percent, we got three goals and possessed it well. But it just wasn’t enough.”

Palser closed the Panthers to within 4-3 late in the game when Devon Buls headed a ball past the Monarch defense and Palser sent a shot off her left foot, off the goalkeeper and just inside of the left post.

Monarchs shut out Creston boys, 7-0 Panther girls break out

By LARRY PETERSON ton falls to 2-3 overall and halftime lead. On the first CNA senior sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Another of the elite soccer teams in this year’s Hawkeye 10 Conference gave a young Creston squad a lesson in possession soccer here Thursday.

Denison-Schleswig outshot the Panthers 28-5 (13 on goal) in a 7-0 victory at the north soccer field near Creston Elementary/Middle School, which now features bleachers for fans on the south side and team benches on the north side.

Both squads earned votes on this week’s Iowa High School Soccer Coaches Association ratings, but the undefeated Monarchs dominated on the field.

The Monarchs improved to 4-0 overall and 3-0 in Hawkeye 10 play, which includes a 3-2 victory over a St. Albert team that earlier beat the Panthers, 8-1. Cres-

0-2 in league play going into Saturday’s Winterset Tournament.

“They settled the ball, made good passes and good runs,” said Creston coach Lucian Diaconu. “We, as a team, need to work on that stuff. We beat them last year, but we had more physical play, and the confidence.

We are not at that level yet They (Denison-Schleswig) are mostly juniors and seniors and you can tell the way they play that they are experienced.”

The Panther defense and goalkeeper Quenton Scadden held steady midway through the first half, trailing just 1-0 despite a difference of 7-0 in shots.

The Monarchs added a second goal 21 minutes into the period, and then swift senior forward Bryan Mendez fired in two goals within a minute of each other in the final four minutes for a 4-0

one Taylor Heese passed the ball between two Creston defenders and hit Mendez in stride for a one-on-one with Scadden. Mendez scored his second goal 10 yards out, assisted by Dany Aguilar.

Starting midfielder Aaron Majerus scored two straight goals on a header and a run up the middle in the first 10 minutes of the second half for a 6-0 lead. Eddy Majerus crossed the ball across the field to Aaron to put the shot in from 4 yards. On the next one, Mendez dribbled past two Creston defenders and passing through a gap to Aaron Majerus in stride for the open shot from 12 yards out.

Creston’s Evan Jacobson and Ben Irr had hard shots that were stopped by goalkeeper Guadalupe Estrada after that, and Alvaro Flores of the Monarchs added a BOYS | 9A

in third meet of week

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

GLENWOOD — Judging by the results, it’d be difficult to tell the Creston girls track team competed in its third meet in just four days here Thursday.

The Panthers finished fourth with 75 points — three points ahead of Harlan — at the Girls Ram Relays, with host Glenwood winning the team title.

Still shorthanded and feeling the grind of a busy week, the Panthers weren’t slowed at all.

In fact, Creston put up numerous season’s best performances.

“Things went well, really well for a lot of things,” Creston head coach Clay Arnold said. “We stacked up great. We won a lot of things we thought we could win and competed well in a couple of other things, too.”

Freshman Brielle Baker had a breakout night for the Panthers, running a pair of solid 800s on Baker winning Panther relays and running a big PR in the 1,500 meters.

Baker and Jessica Beatty each ran season’s best times on their legs of the winning 4x800 relay. Beatty ran 2:34.84 to put the Panthers into first place and Baker ran solo for a 2:29.82 split. Jesse Vicker and Taylor Briley also ran on the winning relay.

Baker bounced right back and anchored the distance medley relay to victory with a 2:30.43 split. Creston won in 4:29.64, which was a season’s best time by more than 10 seconds.

“Amber (Castillo) ran a

great second leg, 27.65 and Steph (Hemsworth) ran an awesome PR by over a second in 63.07 to put us in first,” Arnold said. “Baker ran by herself. Was nice to see her bounce right back after that 4x8 with another time almost identical.”

The big finale for Baker came in the 1,500 meters, where she finished second to Atlantic’s Tiffany Williams.

Beatty finished eighth in a season’s best Beatty time of 5:39.08.

“Monday night against Tiffany Williams, she (Baker) learned a lot,” Arnold said. “Came back and it was those two again from the gun. Baker was right on her for the first two laps, on her shoulder.”

Baker took the lead on the third lap, but Williams regained it by the start of the final lap. After the Atlantic senior put a gap on Baker, the Panther freshman fought back and closed the gap, finishing second in a big PR of 5:13.86.

“They were battling it out on that last lap,” Arnold said. “Baker regrouped and ran a season’s best by about 7 seconds. Super night for her.”

Sophomore Faith Wilson threw a 2-foot PR in the shot put to finish ninth at 33-4.

Hannah H o o d Wilson took second at 37-5.75 and Cammy Rutherford also had a PR throw of 30-8.25.

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

Seavula, Paul post victories for SWCC track SEWARD, Neb. — Southwestern’s track team came home with two event victories from Saturday’s Concordia Invitational here.

Freshman sprinter Sisilia Seavula of Fiji won the women’s 100 meter dash in 12.28 seconds and f r e s h m a n Seavula T y r e l l Paul of Ajax, Ontario, Canada won the men’s 200 meter dash in 22.08 sec- Paul onds.

Paul also finished fourth in the 100 meter dash, running 11.00.

Sophomore Keegan Longabaugh of Corning placed 10th in the javelin with his Longabaugh throw of 42.20 meters.

“Sisilia Seavula continues to impress as she keeps lowering her season best times,” Southwestern head coach Nick Ekel said.

“Tyrell Paul was a pleasant surprise, as he is a true 400 meter runner. For him to run 11-flat in the 100 meters and win the 200 meters from lane one bodes well for his 400 meter potential.

Overall, I was ecstatic for the sprinters on our team as they all lowered their

season bests.”

Southwestern will send select athletes to the Jim Duncan Invitational at Drake University today, while the team will travel to the Darrel Gourley Open at William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri on Saturday.

ATLANTIC — Junior varsity tennis players from Creston/O-M, Atlantic and Carroll Kuemper picked up a lot of experience Thursday in the JV Jamboree held on Atlantic courts.

“Some of the teams on our schedule didn’t have big enough teams for our JV to play, so we contacted the other teams (Kuemper and Atlantic) and met in Atlantic,” said Creston/O-M coach Kevin Cooper. “It was a great night for our program. We took 25 players to Atlantic and they got multiple matches. I thought it went pretty well and we hope to be able to do it again next year.”

“It was a great conference road win,” D-S coach Carlos Trevino said. “Creston has beaten us the last two years as they had a really good senior class last year. Creston is young this year and our experience really showed tonight. We got to play all 19

players a lot of minutes.”

“I’m proud of the boys,” Diaconu said. “We battled for it and made them work for it. We understand that we have a lot of work ahead.”

MidAmerican announces $3.6B wind turbine project DES MOINES (AP) — Des Moines-based MidAmerican Energy Company announced plans Thursday to spend $3.6 billion on a wind turbine operation that would generate enough energy to power about 800,000 Iowa homes — an effort officials called the largest economic development project in state history.

Bill Fehrman, the utility’s CEO and president, announced the company’s 11th wind project at an event on the Iowa State Fair Grounds attended by Gov. Terry Branstad and other state officials.

Branstad thanked company leaders for their unprecedented investment, calling the project a “major milestone” in Iowa’s rapidly-growing wind energy industry.

“Once the project is complete, the state will be on track as the very first state in the nation to generate more than 40 percent of our energy from wind power,” he said.

The utility will create wind energy that equals 85 percent of its annual customer sales in Iowa with the completion of the project, according to FehT:5.125” rman. MidAmerican is the

2

state’s largest utility.

“Our company has a very bold dream and that dream is to someday deliver 100 percent renewable energy to our customers,” he said.

Company officials didn’t release where the roughly 1,000 turbines would be built but said the utility will finalize locations while the Iowa Utilities Board considers the project. Fehrman said he hopes to have the project approved by mid-September, which would put them on track to adding 2,000 megawatts of wind energy in the state by 2020.
