AP Exclusive: Amid cuts, new Iowa building gets pricey redo

‘Stole my heart’

DES MOINES (AP) — A plan to spend nearly a half-million dollars remodeling the interior of the newest state office building in Des Moines is moving ahead despite budget cuts that are slicing an array of state programs and services, documents obtained by The Associated Press show.

The Iowa Utilities Board is planning to demolish and redo much of the customer service area in its award-winning, six-year-old building. Planning documents obtained under the open records law call for extensive renovations, including new glass walls and doors, ceilings, woodwork, CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER

Some people wear their hearts on their sleeve.

Lindsay Gaunt of Creston wears a puzzle piece on her leg.

The puzzle piece in permanent ink holds special meaning for Lindsay. Written in a circle around the outer edges of the yet-tobe-completed puzzle piece tattoo are the words “A little girl with autism stole my heart.”

Lindsay raises aware-

ness for autism every day through the tattoo.

Saturday, Lindsay and her family will walk in the Autism Society of Iowa’s fifth-annual Autism Awareness 5K Run, Walk and Resource Fair at Creston Community High School.

Obreigh, the 4-year-old daughter of Lindsay and Cory Gaunt, is autistic.

And, though, life hasn’t been what Lindsay and Cory expected when their first child was born, Lindsay said she wouldn’t change anything.

“It hurts me to see Obreigh struggle with all the things she does, but I wouldn’t change Obreigh for the world,” Lindsay

‘Bachelor’ star Chris Soules jailed after deadly Iowa crash IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa authorities have arrested former “The Bachelor” star Chris Soules, alleging that he fled the scene of a deadly traffic accident.

The Iowa State Patrol reports that a pickup truck rear-ended a tractor on a highway in Buchanan County on Monday night, sending both vehicles into a ditch and killing the tractor driver, whose name wasn’t released.

The crash happened on County Highway 45, about

15 miles south of Soules’ farm in Arlington, which is about 75 miles (120 kilometers) north of Iowa City.

The county jail says the 35-year-old Soules was booked early Tuesday on a charge of leaving the scene of a fatal accident.

Court records show that Soules was convicted of operating a vehicle while intoxicated in 2006.

He starred on season 19 of the ABC reality show in 2015.

15 indicted in eagle trafficking case; more charges expected RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — Federal officials in South Dakota said Monday that 15 people have been indicted for illegally trafficking eagles and other migratory birds after a two-year undercover operation potentially involving hundreds of birds.

U.S. Attorney Randy Seiler said that officials expect “significant” additional federal charges in the case, which focused on trafficking of eagles and eagle parts and feathers for profit. Author-

ities said the case involves more than 100 eagles, a number that could climb as high as 250.

Seiler described one operation as basically a “chopshop for eagles” in which eagle feathers were stuffed into garbage bags. He said it was clear that it was a moneymaking operation and that the feathers and eagle parts such as talons and beaks were treated as EAGLES | 2A

merchandise.

“There was no cultural sensitivity. There was no spirituality,” Seiler said. “There was no tradition in the manner in which these defendants handled these birds.”

He said the investigation involved confidential informants, a multi-state area and the purchase of regalia items such as ceremonial fans. A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office said in an email that there are a variety of reasons why people buy eagle parts, and a collectors market plays a role.

Dan Rolince, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service assistant special agent in charge of law enforcement for the region, said that some of those accused used code words to avoid detection by describing the eagle and other bird parts for sale using the names of animals or even car parts. He said the eagles were primarily shot.

On March 21, 1948, Jack married Carol Fleming in Greenfield.

Jack was a member of the coffee club in Afton and Lakeshore Golf and Country Club.

Jack is survived by his daughter-in-law Sue Rusk of Afton; grandchildren, Jessica (Andy) Zaugg of Ankeny and Robb Rusk of Woodland, California; and great-grandchildren, Taylor, Lauren and Ethan Zaugg of Ankeny.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents; siblings; wife, Carol in 2008 and son, Richard Lynn in 2014.

“At the end of this process, I have full confidence that it will be one of the largest cases of this nature we’ve ever worked,” he said.

Three Rapid City men charged in the case are involved with Buffalo Dreamers, which performs Native American dance programs.

Owner Troy Fairbanks has been charged with conspiracy to commit wildlife trafficking and violations of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Lacey Act. Fairbanks, 54, allegedly sold or traded eagle parts to an informant including a golden eagle head for $250, a trade involving about $5,400 of legal merchandise for eagle parts and selling two sets of eagle wings for $900.

Rolince said that a whole eagle carcass would generally sell for between $1,000 and $1,200.

The indictment says Fairbanks in 2015 claimed he could acquire between 30 and 40 eagles by February 2016.

everything from crime victims’ services to childhood obesity prevention, state officials met Thursday with companies interested in bidding on construction, glazing, mechanical and electrical work.

Bids are due May 3.

The board is using $330,000 left over from its 2016 budget and a $250,000 appropriation that lawmakers approved last year to fund the project, a priority of Chairwoman Geri Huser. It has spent $91,000 on design and bid documents, including 130 pages of specifications by BNIM Architects detailing everything from new interior finishes to light fixtures. The budget is currently $464,000.

The project comes as Huser faces questions about her extensive outside work as a private attorney, revealed this month by AP. The Senate recently voted 44-4 to confirm Huser for a second two-year term as chairwoman, despite a law that requires the board’s three members to devote their “whole time” to state duties. Huser says she’s been working full-time even as she’s been awarded more than $177,000 in legal fees.

The notice to bidders says the project “consists primarily of interior remodel work” but state documents do not make clear why it’s necessary.

Board spokesman Don Tormey said the changes will give the public more space to meet with staff to discuss complaints against utilities or comment on cases, sit down to research docket files and review consumer information such as brochures. The building currently features two tables with chairs for customers but “that space is not private or quiet,” Tormey said.

The 75-inch television will replace a projector used for presentations in the conference room, Tormey said.

Asked why the project wasn’t delayed or scaled back, he said the board “has

On June 29, 1952, Bonnie married Roland D. Routh in Clearfield. They lived most of their married life on a farm south of Creston.

Bonnie worked in the ice cream parlor in Clearfield, then with Gits Mfg. in Creston in production. She went on to work as the bookkeeper for Kerr-Cochran Chevrolet dealership in Creston, and their successor Bill Cornick, and lastly, the Stalker family, working approximately 40 years.

Bonnie was a member of Platte Center Presbyterian Church and Presbyterian Women, Greater Regional Hospital Auxiliary and Clearfield Lions.

Bonnie is survived by her husband Roland Routh of Creston; son Brett (Tawnya) Routh of Creston; grandchildren, Stephanie (Ben) Reed of Des Moines, Jeffery “J.D.” Routh of Prescott and Jacob Routh of Creston and longtime friends, Pearl Shrimpton and Bonnie Jensen, both of Atlantic and Bill and Bonnie Cornick of Creston.

the funding and is following the process” for renovations established by the Department of Administrative Services.

Lawmakers could block the project and reroute the money to fund other programs facing cutbacks but said they have no plans to do so.

Sen. Dennis Guth, R-Klemme, who was on a subcommittee that approved the renovation project money, was surprised to learn from AP last week that the funding hadn’t already been spent.

Guth said Huser’s request would not have earned support this year, when lawmakers have delayed “anything that’s not super essential” due to lower-than-expected revenues. But he said the board made a legitimate case at a time when the budget had ample funding and should be able to finish the project.

“It’s not like I’m going to take away money that they’ve already begun a process with,” he said, even though lawmakers have cut millions from universities and other agencies mid-year.

Sen. Liz Mathis, D-Cedar Rapids, said the building appeared to have “a great amount of space” for customer service when she went on a recent tour that highlighted its state-of-the-art energy features. She questioned the spending given that “our budget is in trouble” and other buildings are in far worse shape.

“There are other buildings where people are having issues with even breathing the air and we’re not addressing those,” she said. “I find it kind of interesting they’d be wanting to do upgrades already.”

The building houses 60 board employees and 16 who work for the Office of Consumer Advocate, which will not be affected by the project.

That’s about 15 fewer than when the building opened, due mostly to unfilled vacancies.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, April 25, 2017

Those two were magic on the dance floor Editor’s note: This is the third guest column by Kyle Wilson. His columns publish in the Creston News Advertiser on the fourth Tuesday of every month.

There was once a local band called Cross Country.

They were a 5-piece band that loved playing country music together on Saturday nights. They did all the classic covers from Merle Haggard to George Jones to Patsy Cline.

But, they liked playing the new tunes, too. They found room in their set lists for up-and-coming artists like Brooks & Dunn, Garth Brooks and Shania Twain.

My dad was the bass player for Cross Country.

As a kid, I remember him plugging in his handheld radio on Saturday mornings and recording the Country Countdown on cassette tape. He always liked the challenge of learning a new song.

In Transit Kyle Wilson guest columnist

It didn’t take long for Cross Country to attract some rather large crowds in the 1990s.

They played at music festivals, county fairs, weddings, legion halls and local pubs across southern Iowa. They even took the stage at the Iowa State Fair a couple of times.

Sometimes I’d get to go with my mom and watch the band. I thought I was pretty cool when they’d let me “backstage” to talk with Dad or hang out with drummer Jim Mayne.

I was probably only 7 years old then.

But, I remember the line dancers losing their mind when Cross

Country would play “Boot Scootin’ Boogie.” I remember losing my mind when Dad made good on his promise to play the third verse to the Garth song “Friends in Low Places.”

But, maybe more than anything, I remember sitting in a lawn chair at those events and watching my grandparents Curt and Donna Wilson two-stepping all across those dance floors.

Grandpa had some smooth footwork and nothing made my grandma happier than dancing with him. The only time they came off the dance floor was to grab a drink or give Grandpa a quick breather.

My grandparents were married for more than 50 years.

They farmed near Mount Ayr before moving to Creston in the late 1980s. And, it was magic watching those two on the dance floor together.

I spent a lot of time with them

as a youngster. My grandma delivered Avon for years. She was so proud of her grandchildren that she’d carry a photo book full of pictures and our latest newspaper clippings around town to show her customers.

Grandpa used to sack all of her Avon deliveries so Grandma didn’t have to. He’d make sure all the makeup, perfumes and nail polishes made it in the right sack.

I can also recollect Grandpa — all ready to go — sitting in their old white Buick waiting patiently for Grandma to finish her makeup and hair. He’d have the heat turned on high and her purse in the front seat. They were probably going to be late.

He didn’t curse her or complain, though.

There are days I wish I had his patience.

I think back to their marriage from time to time. It has espe-

cially been top of mind the past few months hearing about couples who are separating or getting divorced.

My grandparents always had a way of putting each other first and taking care of each other during times of illness and injury.

Honestly, I doubt my grandparents ever even considered getting divorced. I’m certain they had their share of conflict over the years, but to them “staying married was the only way to work your problems out.”

That was their way of thinking.

That was the thinking of many others their age.

And, I think we could use that school of thinking more today than ever before.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support uptown Creston From Jim Stalker Creston

Last week, I purchased an ad in the Creston News Advertiser. Maybe some of your readers caught it. I hope so. My wife thought it sounded a little too desperate, pleading for customers. Yes, maybe it was a little too much, but I don’t apologize. You see, the old business district is hidden away from the mainstream traffic flow. There’s always a few people who come downtown, regulars who have built relationships with certain businesses, but for the most part, we don’t attract the mainstream that we used to. People seem to be caught up in the businesses located along the highways.

Their basic needs, groceries, sundries, fuel and miscellaneous other packaged goodies can be found on the outskirts, and it’s quicker, everything under one roof. As change always seems to go, sometime in the near future, even those businesses will feel the crunch as more and more people go online to do their shopping. In this ever changing process, we forget to bring along

the oldest business section, the downtown/uptown. We forget that in order to continue to grow as a community, we need to shop in all areas. We need to search out the unique places to find the unique products, sometimes handmade, one-of-a-kind products. Furniture you can touch or sit on. Clothing that really fits, appliances and the services that go with it, specialty eating and drinking places, insurance with experts to help you, an art store soon to be added, two bookstores, each with their own uniqueness, a quilt store and a multitude of specialty service related businesses are all found here.

The old downtown/uptown deserves to also be utilized. So, the next time you pick up the paper and read about stores in the uptown, remember that they need to be remembered and not forgotten.

If you just happen to catch an ad that sounds a little too extreme or desperate, it’s probably just me trying to get a foothold with a new business to help enrich the old “downtown” or the new “uptown.”

Up in the air HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

French voters on Sunday selected Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron as their two finalist candidates for president of France. Macron will be backed by Obama and Le Pen will be backed by Trump.

It wouldn’t be a French war if they didn’t drag the Americans into it to do all the fighting.

United Airlines stock rebounded after officials announced new customer-friendly measures to make sure passengers get to keep their seats. They say they are committed to hospitality. The good news is, United announced they will begin serving free meals, the bad news is it’s a knuckle sandwich.

An American Airlines female flight attendant hit a woman passenger with a baby stroller Friday, prompting another passenger to square off with a male flight attendant. It was all caught on tape.

Trump is sorry he ran for president and instead wishes he’d partnered with Vince McMahon to start an airline.

The Flight Attendants Union vowed to defend crew members involved in the latest passenger brawl. It’s epidemic. After what’s happened aboard United and American Airlines in the last two weeks, you long for the good old days when all we had to worry about on the plane were the terrorists.

North Korea’s Kim Jung Un repeated his vow to attack Los Angeles with an ICBM Friday.

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

We locals know what will happen next. If the North Koreans send a missile to Los Angeles, once it arrives, it will spend three hours waiting to make a left-hand turn at Wilshire Boulevard and La Brea.

Kim Jung Un vowed to sink the USS Carl Vinson when it arrives off North Korea and launch a total war. It can’t be over a sense of inferiority. If the North Koreans would just watch a five-minute video of Americans at self-checkout registers, they’d realize they have nothing to fear from us.

Fox News reportedly fired Bill O’Reilly because Fox wants to buy Britain’s Sky News and they want no more reports of beautiful news contributors in low-cut blouses and short skirts being harassed. There’s big support in favor of O’Reilly. Fox News viewers eat at Hooters for the continuity.

Barack Obama was photographed partying aboard Hollywood producer David Geffen’s yacht in French Polynesia Friday as his extended overseas vacation continued. It was good to see him smiling, laughing and having a fun time. That may change when he tries to re-enter the United States.

House Democrats and Senate Democrats vowed to shut down the U.S. government rather than pass the funding for Trump’s pro-

posed wall on the Mexican border. It was his signature campaign issue. Democratic elites are determined to destroy Trump because he gives white privilege a bad name.

Caitlyn Jenner revealed in her new book “My Secret Life” she had gender re-assignment surgery in January. One thing’s for sure. If the United States doesn’t win the Olympic gold medal in the women’s decathlon in three years, it won’t be because we didn’t try everything we could to win it.

Switzerland was rated the No. 1 competitive economy in the world Friday by the World Economic Forum’s annual survey. It measures a nation’s technological competence and its labor force effectiveness. The United States would have won, but India and Mexico demanded screen credit.

San Francisco was hit by a citywide power outage that left locals shut off from electricity and drained batteries of social media devices and web access. San Franciscans are a hearty breed. They not only survived the Great Earthquake of 1906, they just made it through eight hours without Netflix.

L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti vowed to bind other sanctuary cities in a network of illegal immigration protectors Friday. It never ends. They say that America is a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic white man’s club, and that it’s wrong to stop immigrants from coming here to enjoy its many blessings.

Lena Dunham plans to take feminist newsletter Lenny Letter on the road LOS ANGELES (AP) — Now that HBO’s “Girls” has wrapped its six-year run, the women behind the series are focusing on their other female-centered project: turning their digital newsletter, Lenny, into a real-life experience.

Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner are bringing LennyLetter.com to life as a variety show. The co-founders of the digital newsletter announced Tuesday that they’ll take the “Lenny: America IRL” tour to six cities, beginning May 31 in St. Louis.

Dunham said she was inspired to create opportunities for women to gather and share ideas after the contentious presidential election.

“We really wanted to try to be a part of, in our own small way, healing the very big divide that exists in our country right now,” Dunham said in an interview Monday. “We’re trying

to look beyond the coastal states and really think about connecting to women, to people, in the middle of the country.”

The tour, which will feature music, comedy and spoken word performances, includes stops in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minnesota; Des Moines, Iowa; and Lexington, Kentucky.

Tickets go on sale Friday.

While the event will have liberal-skewing political overtones, Dunham and Konner say everyone is welcome.

“It’s political, but we’re also trying to bring up issues that you can’t really argue with,” Dunham said. “For example, a portion of our proceeds are going toward arts education organizations for girls in every city.

People have a lot of really split opinions on social politics, but you basically have to be a mustache-twirling villain to have a problem with girls receiving arts ed-

ucation.”

Konner said the show’s content will be more general than the specific feminist tone of the biweekly Lenny Letter. Performers will include “Saturday Night Live” star Sasheer Zamata, poet Jenny Zhang and comics Charla Lauriston and Morgan Murphy.

She said they want the show to be “a great place for people to come and really enjoy themselves.”

Beyond the “America IRL” tour, Konner and Dunham are also broadening Lenny into a documentary series for HBO and a Lenny book imprint launching in August with the first of six slated titles.

“It’s all about trying to expand the way that women can have access to information that cracks their brains open,” Dunham said. “Jenni’s and my entire ethos is really built around relationships between women.”

The Lenny expansions

are giving the “Girls” alums a new place to put their energies after wrapping the often groundbreaking and controversial series last week.

“It’s been a very strange week. I’m not going to lie to you,” Konner said. “But it’s really nice after all these years of, you know, being pretty divisive, that the general consensus has been pretty positive, and that’s made us feel really good.”

But neither Konner nor Dunham will engage in discussion of what could be the show’s final scrape. Some viewers have found fault with the race of the baby Dunham’s character has in the final episode. The baby is dark-skinned; its fictional parents are not.

“I’m going to gracefully bow out of the last controversy hopefully we will ever have about ‘Girls,’” Konner said. “I won’t even dignify it. Ridiculous.”

‘The Fate of the Furious’ laps new films at box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Fate of the Furious” sped into first place at the box office again, leaving new thriller “Unforgettable” and historical drama “The Promise” in the dust.

Universal Pictures’ eighth installment in “The Fast and the Furious” franchise earned $38.7 million in North American theaters over the weekend, down 61 percent from its debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The newcomers could not compete with the high-octane film, which had the biggest worldwide opening of all time last weekend. It has earned $908.4 million globally so far and is expected to cross $1 billion this week.

Holdovers dominated the charts on this quiet weekend in theaters. “The Boss Baby” took second place with $12.8 million, and “Beauty and the Beast” landed in third with $10 million.

Disney’s animal documentary “Born in China” opened in fourth place, with $5.1 million from 1,508 locations. The two other new movies fared worse.

and Rosario Dawson as the new fiancee, opened at No. 7 with just $4.8 million. Critics were tough on the film, and audiences gave it a deathly C CinemaScore rating.

The directorial debut of longtime producer Denise Di Novi cost only $12 million to make, but the meager result still disappointed.

“Unfortunately, the movie just missed the intended audience,” said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros.’ president of domestic distribution. “We had higher expectations, and we’re disappointed we didn’t achieve them.”

There is a silver lining for the studio. The buddy comedy “Going in Style,” starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Alan Arkin, is chugging along after three weeks in theaters, taking fifth place with $5 million.

Meanwhile, the historical epic “The Promise,” starring Oscar Isaac and Christian Bale, bombed with a mere $4.1 million from 2,251 theaters.

The movie delves into the mass killings of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey that many countries and most historians call genocide.

Turkey still denies genocide, saying the deaths stemmed

from civil unrest and war.

It’s not a surprise the film, which was estimated to cost around $100 million to make, failed to gain traction, comScore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian said.

“It didn’t really jump out as anything that would be a surprising box-office hit,” Dergarabedian said. “But it wasn’t really about the box office.”

Made outside the studio system and distributed by Open Road Films, the point of “The Promise” was to raise awareness around a global event that many know nothing about, he said.

Celebrities from Kim Kardashian West to Cher promoted the film on social media. Its makers said they will donate all proceeds to nonprofits and intend to use the PG-13-rated film as an education tool in schools.

“It was a tough weekend in general for the newcomers,” Dergarabedian said, noting that many moviegoers are likely saving up for “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” which hits theaters May 5.

“It’s a quiet period,” he added. “This is the interlude between the spring movie season and what promises to be the biggest summer

HOROSCOPE For Wednesday, April 26, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)Today’s New Moon creates the perfect day for thinking about your earnings and how well you handle your finances.

Do you take care of what you own?

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The only New Moon in your sign all year is taking place today.

Take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself how you can improve your appearance. Try it.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might prefer to hide from others today, because you need some R & R and privacy.

It’s important to respect your needs.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A conversation with a female acquaintance will be intense today. You will discover whether you share the same goals.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You are high-viz today. People notice you, especially people in power. Keep this in mind so you can create a good impression.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today you want to do something different! You want to experience more of life. You want adventure and a chance to travel. (Go somewhere you’ve never been before.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You are a people-pleaser. However, it’s important to know that the most important person to please is yourself.

Once you respect your own needs, it’s easier to respect the needs of others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)This might be the best day of the year to ask yourself what you can do to improve your closest relationships. This is because today is the only New Moon all year that is opposite your sign.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March

20)Good communication involves careful listening. This is a good day to ponder your style of communicating with others and whether you are as clear as you can be.

YOU BORN TODAY You have an unusual combination of being both competitive and cautious. This is a year of growth, construction and building. It is a time to get organized and down to earth.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: My parttime job at a retailer offers direct deposit into my checking account. The retailer also can deposit my pay onto a PREPAID CARD. It’s like a credit card, but if I need cash, I use an ATM, which charges me a fee. Please tell your readers to read the fine print! – A Worker Bee in Dallas Dear Worker Bee: Thanks for the good information that I’m more than happy to pass along!

Readers, a prepaid (payroll) card is like a debit or gift card. There is no bank account to withdraw from or even check your balance.

An employer “deposits” or “loads” your wages onto the card. You can shop, pay bills, etc., like it’s a regular credit card.

However, when getting money from an ATM, YOU have to pay the ATM fee to get your money! So, if you need cash, take out more than you think you will use, so there is only a one-time fee. – Heloise TRASH CONTAINMENT Dear Heloise: My com-

plaint is people who throw their garbage in the trash can unwrapped. It stinks! As soon as the lid is lifted, the wind blows papers out, and as the men lift to dump the trash, corncobs, watermelon rinds and apple peels fall out – ugh! The smell from the trash cans is awful.

I wrap my garbage in RECYCLED bags. I feel for the trash pickup men who have to smell all that trash. – A Reader in Boardman, Ohio Thank you, reader. You are right: The trash should be contained so it doesn’t fly about, and corncobs, apple peels, etc., should go in the compost pile, if possible.

Wet garbage can be put in a store plastic bag, tied and then put into the garbage can.

Here’s how I clean the big outdoor trash can: vinegar and dish soap! Put several cups of vinegar and a big squirt of dishwashing soap in the trash can, fill with water about 1/3 way and scrub with a broom. Dump out, rinse and let the can dry in the sun. Vinegar is handy for so many uses around the house,

and it is cheap, readily available and safe to use. Would you like to receive a collection of my favorite vinegar helpers and how-tos?

You can hang a car deodorizer on the inside of the trash can to help keep it fresh. – Heloise NO MAILING LIST Dear Readers: If you enter drawings or sweepstakes, or when signing on for a subscription, your name can end up on a mailing list!

PANTHER GIRLS TENNIS

Tough day on road for Panthers Host Shenandoah Thursday ■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

HUXLEY — Ballard’s girls tennis team kept the pressure on Creston/Orient-Macksburg all throughout Monday’s dual in Huxley.

The Bombers kept the Panthers from ever establishing a rhythm, leading to an 11-0 win.

The Panthers could not get dialed in.

“Our consistency in our strokes was off all night long,” said Creston/Orient-Macksburg assistant coach Amanda Plymale.

“We had way too many unforced errors to be productive and competitive in our matches.”

Both teams came in with relatively young squads.

“I thought our teams would be comparable this year because Ballard also lost a lot of seniors,” Plymale said.

There are lessons to be taken away from Monday.

“We have to continue to work hard in practice and hopefully we can get a few of these things corrected as we move forward,” Plymale said.

Stiff competition will push the Panthers in the upcoming weeks.

“We need to keep push-

ing hard this year,” Plymale said. “Our season finishes out with strong competitors and we need to be ready.”

PANTHER BOYS SOCCER

Trojans storm back against Panthers Creston loses two goal lead, falls in overtime ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

By relinquishing a 2-0 lead with two second-half Atlantic Trojans goals and a quick goal in overtime, the Creston boys soccer team stayed winless in Hawkeye 10 play in 2017 in a 3-2 home loss Monday.

Panther senior Gavin Woods scored both of Creston’s goals in the first half, one in the 18th minute, another in the 28th. Both were well-placed shots.

Freshman Ayden Filer, Creston’s third-string goalie just a few weeks ago, started in the goal for the Panthers with Payton Pryor out sick.

Filer looked comfortable in the first half.

“He anticipated the through balls,” Creston coach Lucian Diaconu said.

“A lot of times he would come up at the edge of 18 and clean up a couple scoring opportunities. We are pleased with that.”

Atlantic came out of its second half huddle fired up. With the wind at its back this half, as opposed to fighting it in the first, the Trojans quickly got on the scoreboard. Erik Wieser scored on the heels of an acrobatic one-handed save

by Filer. Wieser’s goal was a nifty header.

That goal came in the 45th minute.

Around seven minutes later, Atlantic scored off a deflection following a free kick that bounced off an unidentified Panther.

The 2-2 tie lasted through regulation despite several ample scoring chances for

both teams in the final 30 minutes of regulation.

DRAKE RELAYS

Relax, it’s only the Drake Relays Panthers Hood prepares for second Drake Relays ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Heading into her second Drake Relays shot put competition, Creston senior Hannah Hood will be looking to greatly improve upon her performance from a year ago.

She outperformed her seeding coming into the event, having only bested a couple of her fellow throwers in the field.

Hood picked up ninth, and cemented her spot as one of the best throwers in program history.

“I had a lot to prove last year. It was nice getting in the top nine. That was pret-

ty cool,” H o o d said. But it’s definitely different this year ... I definitely want Hood to place high and see how good I do against other schools.”

Hood’s throw of 40 feet even at last year’s relays doesn’t even represent the best that she can throw.

She enters Friday’s 8:30 a.m. shot put event confident and with a heave of 44 feet and 2 inches, third-best in the state, regardless of class.

Hood knows she’ll have to come close to that mark to achieve the success she yearns for.

The senior has consistently been throwing around 41 feet since that personal best and school record throw on

April 6 at Red Oak. But even a new personal record by inches could leave her several feet short of the top.

Waukee High School boasts the top two shot put throws in the state this spring, from sophomore Kat Moody, 47 feet and 0.75 inches, and senior Moe Nealey, 44 feet and 6.5 inches.

Abbi Hood, a Panther freshman and Hannah’s sister, has followed in Hannah’s steps as a thrower, and has competed the varsity level, even winning has the shot put at one junior varsity portion of a meet this season.

Abbi witnessed her sister’s performance at Drake a year ago and was able to see just how talented some of Hannah’s competition will be.

“It was amazing,” Abbi said. “It was fun to watch. I enjoyed it.”

Abbi has had to watch her elder sister endure injuries, dealing with plenty of pain in her shoulders.

Seeing her sister healthy is just another reason to be excited for what could be on Friday.

“Very proud of her and I’m glad she’s doing really well,” Abbi said. “Hopefully I’ll get there, (to Hannah’s level of performance) but we’ll see.”

Anywhere from a third to half of the team, perhaps even more, will be there to cheer Hannah on.

Creston junior Faith Wilson cheered on her teammate at the Drake Relays last year, and plans on doing so again Friday.

Wilson has worked with Hannah the last few years, and knows as much as anyone what makes Hannah tick.

As for what Hannah needs to focus on:

“A lot of footwork. That’s where it all begins,” Wilson said. “ ... She psyches herself out a bit. That’s okay, we all do.”

Over the last few years, Hannah’s teammates have had to help her remember to calm her nerves. Her feelings of anxiety before throws sometimes hinder her performance. Hannah is quick to admit as much.

“I definitely need to calm down and just do everything that I’m capable of doing,” Hannah Hood said. “Everything should go as planned. I think so anyway.”

Before Hannah Hood’s personal record throw, Panther assistant coach Maggie Arnold reassured her and helped her calm down. The result was as good as she has ever seen.

Hannah has been paying extra attention to her diet DRAKE | 10A

over product. Making sure that they understand they pick up one thing and improve on it,” Southwest Valley assistant coach Anthony Donahoo said.

Where that can be measured is in the drastic difference in the mechanics of some players on the team.

“Someone like Kaitlyn Richey, Robyn Steeve, those are those underclassmen girls, when you’re watching them, I walked to the net on one of them and told Kaitlyn, ‘I can’t tell you how proud of you I am from where you started not being able to hit a tennis ball to now having a really good forehand,’” Donahoo said.

The loss dropped the Timberwolves to 0-5 in varsity competition this sea-

son, with their win coming against Creston’s junior varsity squad.

Southwest Valley’s boys tennis team defeated St. Albert 5-4 Friday to improve to 3-5 this season. No stats were available as of press time.

with some of the best in the business trying to run down a checkered, and a new kid making animpression. Jesse Dennis (first) and Nick Roberts (second) started front row and kept it that way for the finish. Roberts appeared to be running Dennis down until Dennis found his groove and started to pull away. Justin Zeitner (third )tried for the repeat as he was holding off the new modified driver Jake Hobscheidt (fourth). Todd Van Eaton (fifth) made sure no one forgot about the mafia knocking on the back door as he finished with fellow mafia member Jeff James (sixth), respectively.

Northland Oil Stock Cars left some tire rubs as the field raced hard Saturday night. Jesse Lund started on the front row and held off all contenders until a late caution gave the upper had to some fellow competitors. Jason Rold (first) was able to hammer down to the front row and be the

Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING – Saturday’s chilly temperatures promised for lots of horsepower but a need for hot chocolate as the racers took to the track. Ramsey Grinding Night went off with lots of great racing and some mishaps, as well. Drivers battled it out to the best of their ability with trophies and Ramsey Grinding hats and goodies up for grabs.

O’Reilly Auto Parts Late Models shook the half-mile with 20 cars taking to the field and brining fans to their feet. Jason O’Brien brought back memories of a few years ago when he ran the high side and didn’t let off.

O’Brien didn’t look back while holding off Leon Zeitner (second), Corey Zeitner (third) and Cory Dumpert (fourth) racing hard with Bill Leighton (fifth) trying to crack the top three.

Lund (third) was able to stay in the top three while making sure that Tony Hardisty (fourth) and Buck Schafroth (fifth) couldn’t get around the fast 14.

Stalker Chevrolet B-mods got to see Kody Havens (first) claim his first win at ACS this season, as he started on the pole and made sure his nose crossed the finish line the same way. Josh Sink (second) and Jerod Weston (third) had a showdown to prove who the fastest in Montgomery County was. Jerry Hinton (fourth) put his hot rod in the mix with David Schwartz (fifth) right behind.

Chat Mobility Hobby Stocks proved to be one of the best shows off the night, involving another Lund.

Where Diaconu thought the Panthers came short, however, was in not playing add-on in the first half.

“We did not put in our opportunities that we had in the first half. In the first half we missed too many. That actually what killed us,” Diaconu said.

The sudden death, golden goal winner came when Fil-

DRAKE: CONT. FROM | 7A

this week, hitting the weights with Wilson and Abbi, drinking plenty of water and going to sleep at reasonable times.

Friday will come more quickly than most realize.

The Drake Relays begin Thursday.

The best competition that many teams and individuals alike will see all year looms on the minds of thousands across the state and even outside Iowa’s borders.

Hannah Hood has to remember one thing: Relax.

It’s only the Drake Relays.

Strong field to test NV’s Corder G R E E N F I E L D — Nodaway Valley senior Jared Corder has one goal in mind for the Drake Relays this week.

Do his best.

Corder will test his best against some of the state’s best in the 800-meter run Friday at 2:54 p.m. at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.

Corder knows he will face stiff competition in the 16-person field.

“All I’m worried about now is running well at Drake and placing well,” Corder said.

Corder comes in with the seventh-best time in the field.

Leading the way is Matt Fraizer, of West Des Moines Dowling, who ran a 1:54.53 on April 18. Second is Ryan Modlin, of Waukee, who ran a 1:55.11 at the same meet.

Third is Cedar Falls’ Seb Gearhart, who ran a 1:56.21 on March 31 in Cedar Rap-

ids.

Corder is the only Class 1A entrant in the exclusive field.

He carries that honor with pride.

“It defin i t e l y feels good k n o w i n g Corder that somebody from a small 1A school can compete with some of the big 4A schools,” Corder said.

He reached an objective in his senior season.

“It definitely was one of my goals to get to Drake,” said the Briar Cliff University football and track and field recruit.

Corder’s skills have grown quite a bit this season thanks to the workout regiment used by Wolverines coach Darrell Burmeister.

“My endurance and my speed in practice — we do a lot of repeat 400s and repeat 200s,” Corder said. “It helps build my speed and my turnover.”

Corder will be running at Drake Stadium for the fourth time. He has qualified for state each of his first three years of high school.

Drake, though, is a different animal.

“It’s going to be more high paced than state,” Corder said.

Whatever the result Friday, Corder knows he is in good position if he is to qualify in the event for state.

“It’s definitely a confidence booster going into state.

tivation to do a better job next time. We need to stay focused and play our game we’re used to.”

Both Jacob Goodson, (disciplinary issue) and Tay Wright (personal matters), recently quit the team.

The junior varsity defeated the Trojans 5-0.

Spidle leaping with en said. “He knows what it’s the best of the best like.”

LEON — Central Decatur sophomore Cauy Spidle doesn’t stand the tallest when he lines up for the the high jump competition.

He certainly proves there is skill and power in his 5-foot, eight-inch frame.

Spidle will put his skills to the test Thursday in the Drake Relays high jump competition. The event is slated to start at 4:30 p.m. at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.

“He’s a natural,” said Central Decatur coach Jon Pedersen. “He’s 5-8 and he can go 6-4. I’ve seen some of the pictures and his foot is almost touching his head as he goes over the bar.”

Spidle jumped 6-4 at the Central Decatur Invitational on April 11 to earn his spot at the Drake Relays.

The leap, which tied the school record, wasn’t unexpected according to Pedersen.

“He’s consistently been around that all year,” Pedersen said. “We were just waiting for it to happen.”

Now, it is Spidle’s time to go even higher.

“We’re waiting for him to go up another inch or two,” Pedersen said. “Hopefully that will happen this week.”

Spidle has been diligent in his training.

“He works at it,” Pedersen said. “He keeps going up and we expect him to keep going up.”

Spidle has experience jumping in Drake Stadium, having qualified for the state meet as a freshman in the high jump.

“That will help,” Peders-

There will be one big difference at Drake compared to a normal meet.

“The biggest adjustment for the high jumpers is they have to start at Spidle a higher height,” Pedersen said. “He knows that. Last year (at state), it threw him for a little bit of a loop. It’s still different, but he knows and has experienced that.”

Spidle will be challenged by the exclusive field. Leading the way is J’Von Harris of Oskaloosa, who has jumped 6-10. Cole Moeller, of Calamus-Wheatland, and Miles Rupiper, of Kuemper Catholic, have jumped 6-9, while Caleb Cowles, of Davis County, and Braeden Hoyer, of Northeast, Goose Lake, have jumped 6-8.

The goal, Pedersen said, is for Spidle to go higher than 6-4.

“There’s some awfully good jumpers,” Pedersen said. “That’s going to be pretty good. The goal is to improve his individual jump.

We’ll be really happy for him.”

Pedersen noted Spidle is the first Central Decatur boy or girl to make the Drake Relays since he began coaching track in 2006.

Spidle has taken the accomplishment in stride.

“Cauy’s pretty levelheaded,” Pedersen said. “He doesn’t get too excited. It was a goal.”

GAUNT: CONT. FROM | 1A

Diagnosis Cory and Lindsay spent several years trying to get pregnant. They were even told by doctors they might not be compatible.

So when Lindsay found out she was pregnant, the couple was excited. Cory said she ran into Taco John’s, where he worked at the time, to tell him the good news.

The couple did not notice any delays or signs of autism with Obreigh until she was about 1 1/2 years old.

After working with Green Hills Area Education Agency, workers there suggested Cory and Lindsay have Obreigh tested. “She just had to have things a certain way,� Lindsay said. “For us, it was normal. She was our first child, so we didn’t really know.

When they suggested we go get her tested, I didn’t get her tested for about six months, when they suggested it to us again.�

Cory and Lindsay began to see signs of autism when Obreigh began carrying two blue plastic balls around with her everywhere she went. She always had one in each hand, no matter where she was going. She stopped wearing clothes and went from eating all foods to only eating certain foods.

So, the couple took Obreigh to a doctor in Des Moines, who diagnosed her with autism and an intellectual learning disability. “Then, my heart was broken,� Lindsay said. “We were broken for awhile.

But then, we realized she’s not different. She just does things differently. She has a personality and she loves just like any other child.�

“THEN, my heart was broken. We were broken for awhile. But then, we realized she’s not different. She just does things differently. She has a personality and she loves just like any other child.�

LINDSAY GAUNT Obreigh’s mother

Cory and Lindsay also had Obreigh’s lead levels in her blood tested and found out her lead levels were 13 micrograms per decileter of blood. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention blood level of concern is 5 micrograms per decileter of blood.

The couple then found out the paint in the apartment they lived in was lead-based. After moving to a new apartment, they had Obreigh’s blood tested again and the lead levels dropped significantly.

While the couple does not know for sure what caused Obreigh’s autism, studies have shown lead poisoning can lead to autism. Lindsay suggests parents think about paint and the possibility of it being lead-based when they have children.

Communication Obreigh is nonverbal and cannot communicate through words what she needs or wants. “It’s unfair to see your kid struggle with things that come so easily and naturally to other kids. I long for the day to hear her call me mom,� Lindsay said, with

a tear streaming down her cheek.

Though Obreigh is nonverbal, technology has helped her communicate with her family and her teachers at school.

Obreigh recently received a communication device tablet from Talk To Me Technologies. With the tablet, she can click on buttons to communicate.

Obreigh has grown close to her younger sister, Piper. If 9-month-old Piper is not around, Lindsay said Obreigh will push the “sissy� button on her communication device.

Obreigh uses her communication device and another tablet to learn, often going to YouTube to find children’s songs and learn about colors.

“She’s getting better with that tablet, because it’s really improved her spelling,�

Cory said. “It’s crazy. She can spell better than I can.

We had magnets and she loves to go over there and spell out words. She goes to children’s songs and she hums along, so you know she gets rhythm – the words just won’t come out. It’s funny to watch her sing songs, because she’ll get all highpitched, too.�

Once Obreigh was diagnosed with autism, Cory and Lindsay began reading and learning about autism. They found they needed to let her learn the way she wants to.

So, if Obreigh wants to learn the ABC’s from YouTube instead of from Lindsay, Lindsay lets her use the tablet to learn.

“She’s one of the smartest little girls I’ve ever met,�

Cory said. “She can spell and she can do all of her numbers and everything.�
