A steady stream of visitors took time out of their Easter weekend to see the charred skeletal remains of the Cedar Covered Bridge in Madison County. An exact replica of the original covered bridge was rebuilt in 2004 after being destroyed by arson September 3, 2002.

HCI Hospice Care Services of Creston is hosting its first-annual Bucket Bash 6:30 p.m. Thursday at The Lobby, 301 W. Adams St. in Creston, to raise funds for its quality of life program.

The quality of life program helps hospice care patients fulfill their end-of-life bucket list wishes.

“All the money we raise will go back into the Creston area community to help people fulfill things on their bucket list,” said Mary Jo Borcherding, cochair of the Bucket Bash comm i t t e e . Borcherding “A lot of

times, you’ve got a caregiver that maybe has to quit work so money is tight. Some of the things we’ve done in the past have been providing gas cards. We’ve helped pay some utility bills.”

Other wishes granted have included art supplies for a patient who wanted to paint pictures for her grandchildren, a photography session for family portraits, and planning and putting together of a wedding.

This is the first year for the Bucket Bash event.

“We’ve always been able to do these bucket wishes, but we’ve always used foundation money,” Borcherding said. “Since HCI has taken over the hospice house, our advisory board, we decided it’s time we did a fundraiser and paid it back. This is something we’re hoping to BASH | 2A

Man’s body recovered from pond in Urbandale

WINTERSET – On a quiet gravel road northeast of Winterset, a steady stream of locals and visitors took time out of their Easter weekend to stop and see the charred, skeletal remains of one of the area’s iconic covered bridges.

Madison County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a potential fire just before 6 a.m. Saturday morning. By the time emergency crews arrived on the scene, the Cedar Covered Bridge was engulfed in flames.

“It is just awful, I could not believe it happened for a second time,” said Heather Riley, director of the Madison County Chamber of Commerce. “We are such a small town and the covered bridges are a big

part of our brand. They weren’t just bridges, it was like six additional family members for the community.”

The bridge did not have electricity or lighting source and there were no storms in the area Saturday morning for potential lightning

strikes, so authorities are investigating the situation as arson.

URBANDALE (AP) — A dive team has recovered the body of a man from a pond in the Des Moines suburb of Urbandale.

Police were first called to the Extended Stay America hotel around 9 p.m. Saturday, where a man reported that his brother and another man had been swimming in the

pond near the hotel when one of them went missing.

Officers couldn’t find him Saturday night.

The Polk City dive team was called in early Sunday morning, and divers found the body a little before 2 p.m.

Police haven’t released the man’s name. An autopsy was ordered.

Mindy Dresback, Winterset High School class of 1972, said she was heartbroken when she heard about the fire Saturday morning.

“I get mad and I get frustrated because I can’t understand why people do these things and destroy history,” Dresback said. “I have taken so many of our friends to that bridge ... I don’t understand how someone can do something like that and think it is OK.” Riley said the Cedar Covered Bridge was her personal favorite because it was so close to town and the community often used the bridge as a backdrop

CLEVELAND (AP) — Authorities in several states were on the lookout Monday for a behavioral health case manager who posted gruesome Facebook video of himself randomly shooting a Cleveland retiree who was collecting discarded cans.

Cleveland police allege 37-year-old Steve Stephens fatally shot a 74-year-old passer-by on Sunday in an apparently random attack.

While authorities said Stephens might have left Ohio, the city’s police chief added that his last known location was at the site of the shooting Sunday afternoon and that detectives spoke with the suspect by cellphone.

Officers have searched dozens of places around the city, said Chief Calvin Williams, who warned residents to be careful as the go about their day.

“He could be a lot of places,” said Stephen Anthony, the FBI’s top agent in Cleveland. “He could be nearby.

He could be far away or anywhere in between.”

Authorities have warned people in Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana and Michigan to be alert for Stephens, who

the six bridges because covered bridges were considered a high-risk structure.

The annual cost would have been $100,000 for insurance on each bridge.

“I would love to see it rebuilt because it adds a lot of culture to the community and it is nice place for the community to go,” LaGrange said.

The last time Madison County lost one of the iconic covered bridges to arson was the McBride Bridge in 1983. The Hogback Bridge was also targeted by arsonists in September 2003, but it sustained minimal damage.

No arrests were ever made in connection to the 2002 arson case.

There will be 24 themed buckets at the event. Those buckets range from a family fun night bucket to a Creston Panthers bucket to several barbecue-themed buckets.

Chance tickets are

dropped into the bucket participants hope to win and one ticket is drawn from each bucket, with the owner of that ticket winning the bucket.

“You just drop your tickets in the bucket you want to win,” Borcherding said.

“If you buy 20 tickets and you really, really want this (bucket), you can put all 20 tickets in this bucket.”

Borcherding said a representative from HCI will be there to give an overview of the services provided. The program will also include testimonials from individuals who have used the hospice house.

“It’s a heavy subject, but we’re going to keep it lighthearted,” Borcherding said.

A light meal and dessert will be provided.

History

is wanted on a charge of aggravated murder.

The victim, retired foundry worker Robert Godwin Sr., apparently was shot while out on a walk to collect discarded aluminum cans in a plastic shopping bag, something his son told Cleveland.com that Godwin did often.

Police said Monday that Godwin is the only victim so far linked to Stephens, despite the suspect’s claim in a separate video on Facebook that he killed over a dozen people.

The motive for the shooting wasn’t entirely clear from the shaky video, in which Stephens tells Godwin a woman’s name and says, “She’s the reason that this is about to happen to you.” Godwin didn’t seem to recognize the woman’s name.

The suspect then points a gun at Godwin, who shields his face with the plastic bag.

Facebook said the video was posted after the killing but wasn’t broadcast on Facebook Live as police initially indicated. The suspect did go live on the social media site at another point Sunday.

The video of the killing

was on Facebook for about three hours before it was removed. Stephens’ Facebook page also was eventually removed.

“This is a horrific crime and we do not allow this kind of content on Facebook,” the company said. “We work hard to keep a safe environment on Facebook, and are in touch with law enforcement in emergencies when there are direct threats to physical safety.”

The victim’s son, Robert Godwin Jr., told Cleveland. com that he couldn’t bring himself to watch the video but learned about it from others.

“I don’t really want to see it,” he said.

In the separate video, authorities said Stephens claimed to have killed more than a dozen other people.

“Like I said, I killed 13, so I’m working on 14 as we speak,” Stephens said.

Police have not verified any other shootings or deaths, Police Chief Calvin Williams said.

Police said they have talked with family and friends of Stephens, who is a case manager at Beech Brook, a behavioral health agency headquartered in Pepper Pike, near Cleveland.

Beech Brook spokeswoman Nancy Kortemeyer said Sunday that news of the shooting shocked and horrified the agency.

“We are hoping that the Cleveland police will be able to apprehend Mr. Stephens as soon as possible and before anyone else is injured,” Kortemeyer said in a statement.

In one of the videos, Stephens can be seen holding up his Beech Brook employee identification badge.

“I’m killing with my Beech Brook badge on too,” he says.

Wolf says Luskey was watching the home of a woman he’d dated several months previously and pulled Carroll from the woman’s car after he blocked them from driving away. Wolf says Carroll and Luskey were struggling when Luskey got his hands around the barrel of a handgun Carroll was legally carrying.

Formally known as the Casper Bridge, Cedar Covered Bridge was erected

by H.P. Jones in 1883. It stretched 130 feet and was 13.7 feet wide. The original cost was about $2,965.

It originally sat over North River and carried traffic until 1920 when it was moved to the current location over Cedar Creek. It was bypassed by another bridge in 1964, but it remained open for traffic.

Cedar Covered Bridge was made popular on the cover of the international best-selling book “The Bridges of Madison County” by Robert Waller. The book was made into an award-winning movie in 1995, featuring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep.

Waller died in March.

On Sept. 3, 2002, the covered bridge was completely destroyed by arson. An exact replica was rebuilt in 2004 and reopened to traffic Aug. 23, 2004. The replica cost $772,824 and was completed by Herberger Construction Company.

CAMANCHE (AP) — An eastern Iowa prosecutor has decided not to charge a man who shot to death an Illinois resident.

Authorities say 25-year-old Derick Carroll, of Clinton, shot 22-year-old Nicholas Luskey, of Fulton, Illinois, on Feb. 1. Clinton County Attorney Mike Wolf said in a news release the shooting was done in

“I spent a lot of time in that area driving past it and I always thought it was a neat part of the community,” said Winterset High School senior Tim LaGrange. “If it was arson, it is sad that the selfish acts of one person ruined it for the c o m m u - LaGrange nity and everyone else that liked to visit.”

James H. “Jimmy” Doolittle, took off from the deck of the carrier USS Hornet early that morning and struck back at Japan in retaliation for the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese Navy on December 7, 1941.

It must be noted that of the 80 Doolittle Raiders,

two lost their lives during the raid on April 18, 1942.

Those two were Iowans Dieter and Faktor, who were on separate planes.

Greening survived the raid, later becoming group commander of a B-26 bomber group in North Africa. He was shot down on his 27th mission, captured by the Nazi’s, escaped and was recaptured. He spent the remainder of the war in a German concentration camp.

The family of Dieter has honored the Iowa Aviation Museum by donating his Congressional medal and commendation, dog tags, Purple Heart, photos and other memorabilia. Visit the Iowa Aviation Museum and see the display honoring those brave young men.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Service with sarcasm

HOROSCOPE For Tuesday, April 18, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a tricky day.

You are advised to avoid a showdown with a parent, boss or authority figure. (This includes the police.) Things are too unpredictable!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Steer clear of controversial subjects like racial issues, politics and religion, because this is a potentially explosive day.

Expect travel plans to change or be canceled or delayed.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Double-check all financial transactions related to wills, inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. Something might be out of whack. Don’t become caught off guard!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Do not fall into intense discussions or arguments with partners or close friends today.

Steer clear of these. In a nanosecond, someone might be overheated or too emotional.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Be patient with co-workers today, because equipment breakdowns and delays can trigger arguments or moments of frustration. Chill out. Be supportive, no matter what happens.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is an accident-prone day for your kids so be extra vigilant. It’s also a dicey day for romance, so be aware of this as well. Patience is your best virtue.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Small appliances might break down today, or minor breakages could occur. That’s because something is going to interrupt your home routine. Be patient with family members in order to avoid intense arguments.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)This is an accident-prone day for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do.

Don’t try to convince others to agree with your point of view.

Easy does it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Something to do with your cash flow, money or possessions is unpredictable today. Make sure you know what’s happening. Keep your eyes open.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)Avoid arguments with others today, because this is a potentially explosive day.

People are on edge. Plus, unpredictable things are happening! It’s a dicey combo.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) There’s an undercurrent of uncertainty to whatever you do today; you can feel it. A lot of other people can feel it as well.

Just be cool.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A powerful person might seek you out today and then lean on you about something. This could erupt into an argument.

You don’t need this, so run the other way!

YOU BORN TODAY Although you are popular, easygoing and well-liked, you also are driven, ambitious and passionate. You love to learn and try new things. Take advantage

of opportunities that present themselves now, because this is the year you’ve been waiting for! Oh, yes! For many, a major change will occur, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2006. It’s time to test your future!

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about calling service people: “Dear Heloise: I recently called for tech support at a computer company and got the worst service I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time I’ve had service people who were sarcastic or rude. The background noise was so loud, with people laughing and shouting, that I couldn’t hear the young man who was talking. When I said I couldn’t hear him because of the noise, he hung up on me.” – Sarah J., Hampton, Va. Sarah, this is a common complaint from my readers.

One thing I’ve done: If the phone agent is NOT being helpful, I say “goodbye” and call back to get another agent. Readers, what’s your “call” (bad pun intended!) on this dilemma? – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com MOSQUITOES Dear Heloise: I think I must live in the mosquito

capital of America. I can’t set foot outside the door without being bitten several times. Do you have a recipe to kill these pesky critters?

– Belinda F., Brownsville, Texas Belinda, I sure do! Give this simple hint a try: 1 cup hot water 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 2-liter bottle 1 tablespoon active yeast Cut the plastic bottle in half. Mix the brown sugar with the hot water and allow to cool. When the mixture is cooled, pour it into the bottom half of the bottle.

Add the yeast – no need to mix. Place the funnel part of the bottle upside down into the bottom half of the bottle and tape them together.

Leave the top uncovered.

Change the solution every week or so, or when you see lots of dead mosquitoes in the liquid.

Buzz, buzz no more! – Heloise P.S. The amounts are just an estimate; don’t worry about measuring exactly.

WEDDING GIFTS Dear Heloise: I recently went to a wedding and did not know what to get the couple, who have everything after living together. I

gave them an envelope with cash. After the wedding, the mother of the bride hinted that she didn’t think I’d given them enough to cover the expense of my dinner. I’m retired, my income is limited, and I thought I gave the couple a substantial amount.

What is the correct amount to give at a wedding? – Lynnette G., New London, Conn.

Lynnette, there is no real rule, per se. In the old days, many thought a cash gift or the price of the gift should cover your food and drink.

However, that has changed over time. Give what you can afford, and don’t feel guilty. Guests are invited to help the happy couple celebrate the wedding, not to pay for it. – Heloise ICE-CREAM-CONE PLANTS Dear Heloise: I like to start my garden a little early, so I start the seeds in an ice-cream cone that has a flat bottom. When the seedlings are ready to be planted, I place the plant, still in the ice-cream cone, into the ground. The cone is biodegradable! – Vivian M., Greensboro, N.C.

Appeals court sides with man serving life for Iowa killing

Couple restores 150-year-old church in rural Iowa DENVER (AP) — A couple is restoring a 150-yearold church believed to be the second-oldest in Black Hawk County because of fear it would otherwise disappear like so many other churches in rural Iowa.

Martha Reineke and her husband, William Cozart, are restoring the former East Janesville United Methodist Church southwest of Denver, Iowa, The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported.

“It has existed since 1867, and we thought it deserved to keep existing,” Reineke

said. “While we can’t answer the question of forever, we can at least give it life for several decades.”

They plan to reopen it as a country wedding chapel and community events center.

“This would be something that would help at least pay part of the cost of restoring it,” Reineke said.

Reineke said the building drew little interest when it was put up for sale. It has been vacant since the aging 38-member congregation disbanded in July 2011.

The building has been

stabilized, and foundation cracks have been repaired.

The basement has been gutted, and water has been connected.

“I’m not really a person who believes in signs,” she said. “But if I did, I’d say that was a sign we were meant do do this, to save the church.”

DAVENPORT (AP) — One of two men imprisoned for the 1983 robbery killing of an Iowa bartender is getting another chance to challenge his conviction with the trial court.

The Quad-City Times reports the Iowa Court of Appeals has sent 57-year-old B.C. “Basil” Pendleton’s case back to Scott County District Court in Davenport.

The appellate court ruled Pendleton didn’t get an adequate opportunity to argue against a summary judgment, and that the court record is incomplete.

Pendleton and 58-yearold Daryl Hollins were separately convicted of the shooting death of 56-year-

old Carol Stinger during a robbery of the St. Louis House, a Davenport tavern.

Both men were sentenced to life terms without parole possibility.

Pendleton has argued that two witnesses have recanted their statements to police or testimony at his trial.

SPARTAN MEN’S BASKETBALL

Postseason honors for Johnson, B. Thomas ■

Team success leads to individual accolades for Spartan pair

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Southwestern Community College head men’s basketball coach Todd Lorensen, and assistants Scott Davis and Rand Hazelton repeatedly pushed the team to put team ahead of self.

Those words sunk in with the team as the Spartans went on to claim the NJCAA Division II national championship, the program’s first national title and first for any Spartan athletic team.

Strong efforts throughout the team were key components to the title run.

Two individuals were recently recognized for their play on the court this season.

Sophomore Jordan Johnson was named to the NJCAA Division II first team.

Freshman Brodric Thomas was named to the second team.

Johnson, a Des Moines native, averaged 13.0 points, 3.4 assists, shot 50.5 percent from the field and had a 3.0 assist/turnover ratio.

Johnson’s ability to de-

fend without fouling made him one of the top defensive players in Division II. He av- Johnson eraged 1.2 steals a contest.

“Jordan is one of the best on-ball defenders I’ve coached in 10 years,” Lorensen said.

In an era where hand checking fouls are being called much more frequently, Johnson was able to be a

defensive pest without making cheap fouls.

“He shows his hands as good as anybody,” Lorensen said. “With the emphasis on reducing physical play, he doesn’t get cheap, silly fouls.

He’s a very smart defensive player. He knows when to pick and choose jumping a gap and when to play solid, play a gap.”

Johnson picked up Lorensen’s defensive scheme and has excelled in it.

“He knows how to decipher things,” Lorensen said. “Once he learned our system, it made him fun to

watch him do his thing.”

Thomas, a native of Bolingbrook, Illinois, averaged 14.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per g a m e and shot 54.2 percent from the field.

He was named the Most Valuable Thomas Player at the NJCAA Division II national tournament in SWCC | 8A

It’s UNO! for Hood

Panther thrower signs to compete at Division I level

■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@ crestonnews.com

After realizing how good she had the potential to be as a thrower, Creston girls track and field star Hannah Hood decided back in sophomore year to work tirelessly to better herself.

A new dream came to fruition Friday when Hood signed with the University of Nebraska-Omaha to compete as a thrower and further her education.

While the decision of where to compete did not come quickly, Hood’s reasoning has been on solid footing for some time now.

“It took a long time. I’m a very indecisive person,” Hood said. “But when I first saw UNO, I ... definitely thought about signing and this is where I wanted to go.

Panthers split at Winterset Tournament Creston reaches 2016 win total far quicker this spring ■

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

WINTERSET — All of 14 games is what it took the Creston boys soccer team to win three games in 2016.

The Panthers then lost their last three games.

Fast forward to 2017, where Creston won its third game in a row, and third of the season, by way of a 2-1 defeat of Class 3A program Indianola in Winterset on Saturday.

The Panthers went on to lose to Winterset 3-1 in the championship game, but stayed tied with the Huskes the majority of the way, conceding the final two goals in the game’s final eight minutes.

“I think that goal was crucial for our result today because we need that confidence, We didn’t play all together for a long time, but situations like this, they BOYS | 8A

CRESTON GIRLS GOLF

Panther girls golf team wins at Winterset meet

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

WINTERSET — Lakeview Country Club is a course not unfamiliar to Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s girls golf team.

Ashton Carter capitalized on her knowledge of the course by shooting a medal-winning 85, five strokes better than her next closest competitor, while leading the Panthers to a 408 team score over 18 holes and the Winterset 2017 Girls Golf Invitational title Saturday.

That 408 was just one stroke better than second-place Chariton.

Coach Jan Lesan was pleased with the growth the team is showing this season, and saw things in the team’s games that made her happy on a day where conditions were a bit troublesome.

“The wind was tough, the greens were hard and the short game was very very tough today,” Lesan said.

“Still happy with what we’re doing and looking forward for May and getting things done there.”

Carter’s medal-winning performance was just the latest team-leading score for the Panther junior. She played the course

like she knew it after having golfed their before.

“She knows she can play better,” Lesan said. “Her putting and the chipping wasn’t the best but something too work on and keep improving to May.” Carter had just earned medalist honors in Winterset during a triangular with the Huskies and Clarke on Tuesday.

“Ashton knew the course and she played like it,” Lesan said.

Saturday marked the first time ever playing through 18 holes for the likes of Sadie Green, who shot a 127.

Lesan was happy with the girls conditioning, and thought they held up well through 18 holes.

“The wind was tough, the greens were hard and the short game was very very tough today. Still happy with what we’re doing and looking forward for May and getting things done there.”

Sophia Groumoutis and Hayley Osmun played strong parts in putting together identical scores of 98 strokes.

“Very happy and very proud of these young ladies,” Lesan said.

Spartans end skid, let second slip away Sunday Southwestern hoping to find solutions to recent struggles ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Coming into Sunday’s last two games of a four-game series against Indian Hills, the Southwestern Community College baseball team had lost 13 games.

The Spartans broke through for an 8-2 win in game one Sunday but flubbed away a second win after entering the final, seventh, inning with a four-run lead. The Spartans fell 8-6 in game two after the bullpen surrendered the lead thanks to the Indian Hills bats waking up.

“Today we came and did what we were supposed to but unfortunately we were not clean at the end when it matters and that’s what has been hurting us the whole year,” Southwestern coach Pedro Hernandez said.

Trailing 2-1 in game two, a fifth-inning groundball fielder’s choice off the bat of Andre Beltran scored Stephan Soto to tie the game.

The Spartans then broke things open.

Angel Morales sharply singled through the right side of the infield to score Waldemar Figueroa and gave the Spartans a 3-2 lead.

Victor Perez ripped a ball down the right field line to score Morales and Erick Espinoza for a 5-2 lead.

Southwestern picked up another run in the frame, and tacked on two more in

the sixth by way of a nodoubt home run off the bat of Soto and a bases loaded walk by Espinoza for the final tally.

Oscar Rivera picked up the win in five innings of work while Ian Torres worked two innings of relief.

“That was really encouraging to see the way that they fought back after a tough loss yesterday,” Hernandez said.

The second game featured plenty more offense for the Spartans, who slashed their way to 10 hits but not enough runs to get the job done.

A four-run second inning put the Spartans in the driver’s seat.

Jhon Vargas worked mixed his off-speed pitches effectively and kept them low and below the strike zone to keep Indian Hills off

bring us more together,� Creston coach Lucian Diaconu said. “I’m pretty proud how they played.�

Brenden McDowell and Evan Jacobson netted the Panthers’ two goals in game one.

Each amounted to more than what the Panthers put up last year against Indianola, who Creston fell to by scores of 1-0 and 2-0.

The loss to Winterset was not without its bright spots.

Creston lagged at the start, and after failing to clear the ball in its own deep third, Winterset’s Jon Jesch booted the ball through for a 1-0 lead less than a minute into the game.

Rather than go into a shell against a good team, the Panthers upped the ante. “In the first 30-40 seconds they came out really fast and we were a little sluggish and they scored right away,� Irr said. “But after that I was really really proud of our guys because we just normally, last year, we’d probably would hang our heads and it could have been a 4-0, 5-0 game at half. But we really dug in and came back fighting for every ball.�

Irr’s free kick in the seventh minute of the game, (the teams played 30-minute halves), bounced around, and perhaps off of the Winterset wall and past the Winterset keeper to knot the game at 1-1.

Winterset made adjustments in the second

Thomas’ size, at 6-feet-5 inches, and versatility offensively made him a matchup nightmare. “Outside, he can put it on the floor and shoot it,� Lorensen said. “As a coach, trying to prepare for him with a big guy so he can’t post up or put a smaller guy so he can’t drive is a challenge. It’s a catch-22. Either way, you can find ways to put him in position to be successful.�

Thomas knew when to pick his spots offensively. “He shared the basket-

half, and controlled possesion for much of the latter 30 minutes.

The Huskies finally busted through in the game’s final eight minutes with two goals, from Garrett Vevshemal and Mark Vrieze as the Panthers could not hold any longer. “We leaved some space in defense and they were able to put a long ball through,�

Diaconu said about the go-ahead goal. “A player was there, took the ball and scored on us.�

The last goal came as a result of a defnesive lapse by the Panthers.

Still, Creston came away encouraged by its play. “Today was an intense game on both sides.

It was physical on both sides,� Diaconu said. “I was impressed how we managed that and how they stayed organized and how they stayed together.�

Irr was one of several players sharing laughs and smiles with teammates after a postgame players meeting. “We’re just positive. Everybody’s working their butt off at practice. We’re all in for it,�

Irr said. “Soccer is a very very mental game.

Lorensen said. “He was a good decision maker. When he had to make plays, he did it, and if he didn’t, he shared the basketball.�

Southwestern was the only team in Division II that had two All-American honoree.

While individual numbers stand out for the two, it was the intrinsic aspects that made them special. “For both those guys, their stats are really good, but there’s so many things that didn’t show up on the stat sheet that made them important,� Lorensen said.

Each had their share of big games offensively.

“For all of our guys, there’s three, four, five guys you could argue was the best player on a given night,� Lorensen said. “Rather than worry about who the best guy was, nobody worried about that. It was who had the hot hand, mismatches. That’s why some nights Jordan had seven or eight (points) and Brodric would have 37 or seven. We had so many guys capable of scoring. When the time was right to be aggressive they took advantage.�

Both Johnson and Thomas were deserving of being recognized at a national level, Lorensen noted. “For both guys to be on the list is a great honor,� Lo-

Hood, who is interested in childhood counseling, was considering multiple factors when it came to her college choice.

The Panther senior found success as a thrower early on in her throwing career, but

Spartans still led 6-5.

Morales in left field then proceeded to drop a fly ball to keep the Indian Hills dugout on its feet.

Indian Hills proceeded to score three more runs combined against Cruz, John Poldberg and Ian Torres who came back in to pitch.

Torres took the loss in short work.

Hernandez thought his pitching staff did performed decently despite some difficulty toward the end of the day.

Southwestern did put two

runners on base, but Juan Perez struck out on three straight swinging strikes to end the game.

Southwestern, (12-24, 1-9), scored its first conference win after a brutal start to the conference that included losses of 7-3, 9-6, 8-6 and 3-2 to Marshalltown, 12-5, 9-0, 6-5, and 22-12 to Iowa Western, 12-8 and 10-5 to Iowa Central and 16-3 and 14-4 to Indian Hills on Saturday.

But the losing streak is over and the Spartans at long last have a conference win.

not without obstacles.

Injuries presented challenges.

“Very frustrating. It’s all worth it in the end,” Hood said.

Shoulder troubles, troubles that required surgery, were just an obstacle. They just increased her workload.

“I definitely thought if I want this, I need to work super hard the next year (junior year) and it’s what I did.

It’s definitely an accomplishment,” Hood said.

With the decision out of the way, she can continue to better herself for the sake of reaching personal goals for the Panthers. She has already broken her own school record in the shot put, which is now 44 feet and 2 inches, and she continues to find better consistency as a discus thrower.

This coming fall, the UNO coaches may very well ask her to throw the hammer.

Hood is up for the challenge the prospect of college

just spreads the persistent smile on her face even wider.

Knowing she’ll continue to have a strong supporting cast is a good feeling for Hood.

“My family, they’ve been really supportive of everything that I’ve been going through,” Hood said. “Everything that I’ve done and my coaches, they’re fantastic and I’m really excited to start this journey.”

That Hood can achieve this hasn’t been in doubt in Creston coach Clay Arnold’s

mind. He has been impressed

by Hood’s consistency as of late.

“She’s committed to go D-1 and I’ve known all along that that’s what she’s capable of,” Arnold noted the night of her record-breaking shot put throw.

Part of that journey continues right now.

Hood possesses the third-longest shot put throw across all classes and longest in 3A this season.

Accident: Creston Firefighter Mike Burton, left, and Creston Police Officer Matt Carr inves-

tigate an accident Thursday morning at the intersection of highways 25 and 34 in Creston. No citations were issued for the accident, which occurred 11:33 a.m. Thursday. According to a Creston Police report, Sherry Lynne Castillo of Atlantic was driving a 2011 Dodge Charger west on Highway 34 and was going to turn left into the Casey’s parking lot. Traffic was stopping at the stoplight at the intersection of highways 25 and 34, so a witness driving a semi stopped to leave enough of a gap so Castillo could turn into Casey’s. The witness stopped and waved for Castillo to turn. Neither the witness nor Castillo saw a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan, driven by Vickie Lea Stephens of Creston, approaching in the right, eastbound lane. Castillo turned and broadsided Stephens’ vehicle because Castillo could not see the vehicle behind the semi. Castillo was at fault for the accident. Stephens was transported to Greater Regional Medical Center by ground ambulance, where her condition is unknown. Damage estimates were $3,000 to Castillo’s vehicle and $3,000 to Stephens’ vehicle.

Private colleges group slams U. Northern Iowa lobbying push CEDAR FALLS (AP) — A group representing private colleges is slamming the University of Northern Iowa’s attempt to get a piece of its schools’ state financial aid program as “despicable and greedy.”

UNI’s Panther Caucus said in an email Friday that “it’s not fair” UNI students are shut out of the $50 million Iowa Tuition Grant program, which awards up to $6,000 to students at eligible private schools. It urged supporters to contact lawmakers seeking change in the upcoming state bud-

get.

The Iowa Association of Independent Colleges and Universities called UNI’s push a “despicable and greedy attack” on the 48-year-old grant program.

Association president Gary Steinke said UNI students would “gobble up” money that goes to students at places such as Grand View University in Des Moines, Buena Vista University in Storm Lake and St. Ambrose University in Davenport. UNI already gets about $95 million annually from the state.
