For some, the consequences of a distracted driving accident have only been seen in the movies.

But for others, they are all too real.

Students at Creston Community High School recently decided to create a video depicting a distracted driving incident, from the point of leaving school to the trial in court a year later.

“We’re doing this to raise awareness of distracted driving so people realize one little mistake can impact several different families,” said Chase Shiltz, project member.

High school administrators and staff have worked on this project for about a year and a half with Greater Regional Medical Center

staff. The video, created by students in the environmental and spacial technology (EAST) group and media technology class, is a 30-minute representation of the effects of distracted or drunk driving.

“Those are the two main problems with kids our age, or pretty close,” s a i d Woods Gavin Woods, project member.

Distracted driving “Texting and driving is happening a whole lot more, and that is what this was geared toward, more or less,” said Jen Worisek, Greater Regional Medical Center paramedic. “The school was working on a project already. ... In order to make the video and all that stuff, we had to add the alcohol awareness in there.

But, it was more geared toward distracted driving.”

Worisek said it was good working with the group of MOCK | 2A

There will be a lot of new faces in key positions next fall at Southwestern Community College.

The Southwestern Board of Directors has recently approved a number of early retirements for longtime staff members meeting the designated requirements.

Among those retiring at the conclusion of the current contract on June 30 is Dr. Susan White, who has chaired the nursing department at Southwestern since 2002.

She became a White full-time employee on the nursing faculty in 1988 after starting as a parttime clinical instructor in 1981.

Also retiring is SWCC Registrar Sandy Webb, an employee at Southwestern for more than 42 years.

At its April 11 meeting, the Southwestern board approved the retirements of Dr. White, Webb and Ed Trullinger, chemistry instructor.

In previous actions, early retirements were approved for Jason Smith, vocal music instructor; Dr. Lori Lester, biology and physiology in-

department chair); Randy Hughes, history instructor; Kathryn Scott, nursing instructor; Marilyn Werner, Assessment Center coordinator; Georgia Paulsen, student records/veterans coordinator; John Doyle, PC technician, computer information services; and Rose Vanderplum, housekeeping supervisor.

In other recent action, the SWCC board: • Set a public hearing for 5:30 p.m. May 9 for replacement of the gymnasium floor. Tom Lesan, SWCC vice president of economic development, said the floor was totally replaced in 2008 after flood damage, but now has issues. The south side is warped, the southwest corner has a large crack and the area under the east basket is “spongy.” Public notices including estimate summary will be published.

The college will be accepting sealed bids until 2 p.m.

May 4. At that time, bids will be opened publicly in the board room at 1501 W. Townline St. The project, slated for completion by July 31, includes removal and disposal of the existing gym floor, removal and reinstallation of the existing bleachers, installation of a 6-mil poly or better moisture mitigation SWCC | 2A

Several states consider tossing bottle deposit programs HARTFORD, Conn.

(AP) — As curbside recycling has grown, environmentalists around the United States find themselves fighting to protect decades-old bottle recycling programs that critics say are becoming obsolete.

Connecticut, Massachusetts and Iowa are among the states where bills have been proposed to replace the bottle deposits with a tax. Supporters say the tax revenue could support recycling efforts that did not exist when the bottle redemption systems were introduced.

The so-called “bottle

bills” remain in place in 10 states. Typically, consumers pay an extra few cents when they buy certain beverages, a deposit they get back when they bring their cans or bottles to a redemption center or grocery store.

Some fear people will be more likely to toss their empties if they’re no longer worth cash.

“This is the most effective, proven way that we have to guarantee that these containers do not end up on our streets and do not end up on our beaches and open spaces

as litter,” said Louis Burch, the Connecticut program director for Citizens Campaign for the Environment.

In 1971, Oregon became the first state to pass a bottle bill. It was seen as a way to address a growing litter problem along the state’s beaches and highways. Since then, Hawaii, California, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut and Massachusetts have passed similar legislation. The types of beverage containers and the deposit amounts can vary by state.

In eight of the 10 deposit states, beverage distributors have both the financial and operational responsibility for the system.

Kevin Dietly, an economic consultant to the American Beverage Association, said there is no evidence that litter is any worse in Delaware since that state scrapped its bottle bill in 2010.

In Connecticut, distributors were allowed to keep the unclaimed bottle deposits to help offset the costs of running the program, but state officials decided in 2009 to use that money — about $34 million each year — to help balance the government’s budget.

That change, coupled with the growth in single-stream recycling where glass, metal, plastic and paper is placed in a resident’s curbside bin, has prompted legislation that would replace the existing

lease agreement with the City of Creston for the fine arts wing of the Crest Area Arts and Recreation Center.

The college board can only obligate future boards for a nine-year period of time.

• Approved new dormitory room and board fees and deposit amounts for the 2017-18 year. The rate for West Hall and Wilson Hall will be increased $125 per semester to $3,230. New rates for the apartment-style dorms — Spartan Suites, Spartan Hall and Spartan Court — will be increased $150 per semester to $3,630.

In each case, $25 of the increase will be used to increase the three levels of meal plans for the Spartan Cafe to $925, $1,125 and $1,325.

The contract buyout amount is increased by $150 to $750. bottle redemption system.

It would create a two-phase system covering a broader range of containers and creating a minimum 4-cent tax.

Lawrence Cafero, executive director and general counsel of the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of Connecticut, said the two recycling systems have “competed with each other over the years with very mixed and, some might say disappointing results” in the state. He said it’s time to choose one system over the other.

Susan Collins, president of the Container Recycling Institute, said it would be towns and taxpayers that get stuck with the bill for single-stream recycling.

There are other bills up for debate this year in Connecticut that would increase the handling fee paid to redemption centers, increase the deposit to 10 cents and expand the law to include other beverages, such as teas and sports drinks.

An estimated 3,000 to 3,500 jobs in New England and New York stem from bottle bill laws currently in place, according to Andrew Crowley, a senior plant manager for Strategic Materials, overseeing glass recycling operations in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. He has warned lawmakers that scrapping the bottle deposit system would lead to the elimination of jobs.

“We think there are advantages to both systems and I wouldn’t propose going too radical in either direction,” he said.

students and teachers involved in the project at the high school. She and the group worked well together “to make this the best it could be.”

“Basically, it’s important so students understand the consequences of their actions and what h a p p e n s Ver Meer when they make a bad decision,” said Creston Police Chief Paul Ver Meer.

Creston Police Officer Jayrd Merritt was the arresting officer in the video. He said the student who was arrested realized he did not like being handcuffed and put in the back of a police vehicle.

“I think they (students) need to know that things happen very easily, and I think that the consequences for small actions can be grave,” Merritt said. “They need to understand that when they’re in a car, they’re driving a 2,000-pound bullet, essentially, and when you add distracted driving, texting and drinking, your life and everyone’s around you is in danger.”

Video In the video, students leave school at lunchtime.

A distracted driving accident occurs and the students are taken to the emergency room, where paramedics and a doctor go through their protocol and several students mock-die. At the same time, one student is charged and booked into jail. There is also a news broadcast and a one-yearlater scene, when a student is going through a trial.

“We kind of split it up between several big scenes and we did one scene at a time.

Then we just kind of put it all together,” said Dalton O’Riley, project member.

Before filming, the students watched videos made by students in other school districts, as well as movies involving vehicle accidents, in order to make it realistic.

They also took information from the Every 15 Minutes project, an old project where students were removed from class one at a time every 15 minutes, depicting the effects of someone dying by a drunk driver.

The students then worked on the video for more than two months. The first scenes they wrote and acted out were ones that allowed for more time and retakes, such as the scene involving being booked into jail. The other scenes, such as in the ER, were acted out once, with

students filming from various angles.

“It actually worked out really well. I mean, it flowed really nice. We didn’t have to do retakes and stuff like that. Our staff here at the hospital came in and did their job like they would if this was a real-life scenario,” Worisek said.

The students used different media in the media technology class, such as a green screen for a news broadcast, various video recorders and cameras and Final Cut Pro, a video-editing software.

“They (first responders) really did an amazing job with everything, especially the ER scene. They went all out on that. They hooked up all IVs, did neck braces, did breathing tubes. They did everything. So, just being in that room, seeing them go full on, it felt real filming in there,” O’Riley said.

“It was really humbling because in the video, me and Hank (Looney), we die because of it, but just how fast everything happened.

We were like laying in our poses or whatever, and you hear sirens and all of a sudden there’s paramedics and police and firefighters and just all the first responders, and they go through and it feels like you are in it. It just opened my eyes, and it puts it in perspective how harmful distracted driving is.”

Woods said.

According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, in 2001, there was one fatality, 357 injuries and 518 total crashes caused by drivers distracted by cell phones or other devices.

Those numbers have steadily increased, and in 2015 there were 11 fatalities, 601 injuries and 1,100 total crashes.

Gov. Terry Branstad and lawmakers have expressed alarm about a rising number of deaths on Iowa roadways caused by intoxicated and distracted drivers. Branstad last week signed laws allowing officers to pull over drivers for texting while driving, increasing the penalties for texting-related vehicular homicides, and creating a statewide sobriety and drug monitoring program for intoxicated drivers.

Worisek, who worked one-on-one with Creston Community High School administration, hopes to expand the program to other school districts, such as those in Afton and Mount Ayr. “I want to see positive impact from this,” Worisek said. “I want to see that they realize that this is a problem and something like this could happen, and kind of realize, you know, they don’t want to be put in a situation like that where they’re the cause of an accident that hurts people.”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, April 26, 2017

A lot of help from our friends (and a few robots) Are you a Creston Friend of the Library? Our library owes its life to its area friends, from the Business and Professional Women’s Club of the 1920s and Frank and Jane Phillips, to our present-day supporters. In 1997, when our library needed a wheelchair entrance, library boosters organized the Creston Friends of the Library to help make it happen. 2017 marks their 20-year anniversary, and on behalf of the library board, staff and our capital campaign committee, I would like to extend a hearty “thank you” to all who have been a member of the Creston Friends of the Library.

Since their establishment, the friends have funded our summer programming for children, reading prizes and other library activities through their Valentine’s Day cookie bouquets, annual book sale, scholastic book sale, scrapbooking and other events. At their board meeting this month, the friends stepped up to support our current capital campaign with a gift of $10,000.

If you see board members Jessica Duncan, Emily Cook, Starr Cure, Amanda Campbell-Harden, Judy Hoakison, Cari Jack, Marisue Lewis, Bunny Norton, Kay Raymond, Julie Schieffer, Barbara Thomsen or Karen Walter, please thank them for their efforts in support of our public library. Thanks to all of our Creston Friends of the Library, many of whom volunteer for the above-mentioned activities, the Matilda J. Gibson Memorial Library is a thriving institution.

The friends’ most successful fundraiser may be their used book sale, held Balloon Days weekend, and they are now accepting donations of used books. You may drop them off at the library or Fredericksen Memorials, where Chris,

David Hargrove Director

Emily and Andy generously allow us to store materials in advance of the sale. They have been great friends of the library for many years, so please reward them with your business.

To properly thank the Creston Friends of the Library, and to celebrate their 20 years of service to Matilda, we at the library are planning a fall event that coincides with their membership drive. Stay tuned for that, as it will afford a chance to eat, drink and be merry with fellow library supporters.

I am crafting a brief history of the friends for the occasion, and we’ll recognize past officers. To my knowledge, this would be the friends’ first general meeting.

Recently we have had success with our Fifty Years Ago Today posts on Facebook, in which I publish clippings from the library’s Creston News Advertiser microfilm collection. It brushes me up on local history, and far-flung social media users with Creston area roots seem to enjoy our recollections from years past. If you wish to receive these posts, find our Gibson Memorial Library Facebook page and “like” it. I am regularly surprised and pleased with the remembrances and connections provoked by these posts.

Now – drum roll, please – it’s my pleasure to announce that Dash robots are available to our younger patrons for play in the library. Check out www.wonder. com to see what fun is in store for your families. Dash is a real robot, charged and ready to play out of

The year’s unpopular names HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Social Security Administration published its annual birth rate report Friday showing that the birth rate in the U.S. fell for the ninth straight year. The report said the two most popular baby names this year are Emma and Liam, and the two least popular baby names were United and O’Reilly.

Bill O’Reilly hosted a podcast Monday and he vowed the truth will come out about the sexual harassment claims by two women at Fox News following the New York Times expose of his legal settlements. He’s dead serious. He wants the world to know that two of his 13 accusers are liars.

Korea’s government will be running as smoothly as ever.

The White House tried working a compromise with Democrats in order to avoid a government shutdown Friday. It looks inevitable.

On Monday, President Trump called tech support in India and said the federal government wasn’t working, and they told him to try turning it off, and then on again.

House Democrats went on TV Monday to warn that a U.S. government shutdown this weekend would furlough 97 percent of NASA space workers in Houston and Florida. Bring it on. I think it would sum up humanity nicely if our first response to alien contact is an out-of-office reply.

A March for Science protest drew thousands of scientists to the National Mall in Washington D.C. Saturday, where they protested Trump’s budget cuts in science. It was odd to see scientists in a protest march. You’d think they’d just stay home and send their androids out to march for them.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio stunned consumers Friday by proposing a local citywide tax that would raise the price of cigarettes to $13 dollars a pack. It’s historic. It has taken the Democrats 30 years, but they have finally figured out a way to make crack cost-effective.

Caitlyn Jenner told Diane Sawyer she had gender reassignment surgery in January. You can’t make it up. Men’s Olympic decathlon legend Bruce Jenner has a vagina and some organ donor recipient in Boston is winning bar bets producing documentation that he’s Kylie and Kendall’s father.

The National White Privilege Conference opens in Kansas City Thursday when delegates from colleges explore the built-in advantages of being white in Amerca. It’s not all bad. White privilege teaches that you should never judge somebody on the color of their skin, that’s what the courts are for.

Personal records reached by Panther duo

By KALEB CARTER CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews. com

CARLISLE — Thanks to sickness, injury and personal matters, the Creston boys track and field team brought two members to Carlisle’s meet Tuesday.

It was not for naught, as Camden Peterson and Jared Moreland both set personal records.

Peterson’s 27.00 in the 200 and 1:00.11 in the 400 were personal bests.

Moreland’s 1:02.99 in the 400 was a best for him as well.

Moreland also ran a 2:42.06 in the 800.

“Coach Birchard and myself are proud of the competitive efforts of both Camden and Jared,” Creston coach Pat Schlapia said. “With being only two, they showed a lot of grit and determination.

They didn’t back away from the competition. They’ll certainly will grow from this type of competition.”

Valley girls soccer falls short on road NEOLA — Tri-Center’s defense was effective throughout in slowing down the Valley offense, leading to a 2-0 win in girls soccer at Neola.

Valley had 11 shots, but mostly in the second half.

Valley could not generate much offense early.

“Tri-Center has a good defense and shut us down the first half,” said Valley coach Michael Krawczyk.

PANTHER GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD

‘Much needed’ team win Panther girls go to smaller Chariton meet and shine

■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

CHARITON — Running on a quick surface as the biggest school at Chariton’s meet Monday, the Creston girls track and field team put their talents on full display, winning the Class AA division with 172 team points.

Davis County was second as a team with 150 points, while others like Knoxville, Clarke and Interstate 35 lingered behind in third, fourth and sixth place.

“We had a ton of season bests and PR’s,” Creston coach Clay Arnold said. “The competition was not like what we’ve been seeing.”

Tuesday was just another night for the Panthers’ relay squads to

thrive.

“The most amazing thing of the whole meet was the 4x200,” Arnold said.

The Panthers shaved two and a half seconds off their season best.

Creston also shaved off a gaudy 14 seconds of its 4x800 time. Jesse Vicker, Emma Hanson, Rachel Shepherd and Brielle Baker smoked the field in the race.

“We were completely untouched,” Arnold said. “Our last three legs didn’t see any competition.”

The cousin duo of Vicker and MaKenna Hudson earned second and third in the open 800, flipping finishing positions between the two of them from the last time out.

Season bests came from a number of individuals, as well as the sprint medley and easily in the shuttle hurdle in the young group’s second time running the event.

Stephanie Hemsworth continues to regain health, and earned fourth in the 400 meter dash. She was

joined by Brielle Baker’s third-place finish.

Baker ran a season-bets 5:17.06 in the 1,500 to win by more than 15 seconds. Both her 400 and 1,500 times were season bests.

Kesia Stewart set personal records in her third leg of the 4x200 and in the 100 meter dash by more than a fifth of a second in 13.79 to take second place.

Stewart was also fourth in the 200, closely followed

by Cayla Maitlen Stewart in fifth. Maitlen had an admirable night in her relay legs per coach Arnold.

Other high finishes included Creston earning tops in the 4x400, distance medley, second in the sprint medley, third in the 4x100, and Rachel Shepherd taking second in the 400 hurdles, Hannah Hood threw her second-best toss this season in the shot

put, 42-feet, 1 inch, and grabbed second in the discus.

Wilson added a fourth-place spot in the shot and sixth in the discus.

Breanna Wallace was second in the high jump, closely followed by Saige Rice in third.

Where the Panthers have found success among many of the team’s younger runners, Arnold saw the potential laid out long ago.

“We had some opportunities that we missed throughout the season where we could have been doing those things earlier,” Arnold said.

While the team win was “much needed” in Arnold’s words, the Panthers have already reached the point where many of the relays need to be to be competitive for state qualifying and the final Hawkeye 10 meet.

UP NEXT — The Panthers will travel to Carlisle Thursday for one more meet this week.

RAIDER RELAYS

Tigers claw past field at Mt. Ayr

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Mount Ayr had itself a nice night to host its annual Raiders Relays Tuesday.

The Raiders took second in the Class A portion of the meet with 89 team points.

Earlham, a squad that several Pride of Iowa schools will see when they travel there for the state qualifying meet, placed first with 166 points.

Nodaway Valley was not far behind the Raiders with 86 team points, while Southwest Valley took seventh with 26 team points.

The Wolverines put up a blistering time of 8:25.74 in the 4x800 for first place.

The time represents the fifth best time in the state in Class 1A this season, and a stadium record. The Wolverines also took first in the sprint medley.

The Wolverines excelled namely in several individual events. Brycen Wallace and Skyler Rawlings earned first and second in the 3,200 meter run while Brayten Funke and Shane Breheny took first and second respectively in the 1,600. Jared Corder was third in the open 400 and the 200 meter dash.

Southwest Valley got a first-place spot from Christian McCuen in the high jump and grabbed a second-place finish from its

4x200 group.

Lenox, EU pace Class B In the Class B division, Lenox was a runaway winner with 144 team points.

East Union earned second with 90 points, Murray was fifth with 51, Diagonal was eighth with 20 and Orient-Macksburg picked up 10th with 16 points.

The Tigers stacked their sprint medley team to see what could happen. What happened was a first-place finish in Class B by the group of Jeremy Daye, Jared Hensley, Dawson Tullberg and Trenton Barnette in a time of 1:42.93. It was the third-best overall time at the meet behind Earlham and Clarinda.

Lenox also grabbed first in the 4x100 in 47.17.

Elsewhere, Lenox tried to mix and match kids in new spots, while putting several kids in new individual events.

This helped the Tigers rocket up the leader board.

“One thing that really helps our numbers is, I will ask a kid to get in an event they’ve never done before,” Lenox coach Matt Malausky said.

Thus far this season, Malausky can’t recall anyone responding negatively to such requests.

Other strong performances came from the first-place TRACK | 7A

PANTHER BOYS GOLF Somers, Panther boys golfers enjoy solid day Tuesday

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

MORAVIA — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg’s boys golf team rose to the challenge during Tuesday’s North/South Classic at The Preserve on Rathbun Lake.

Led by another strong effort from Kyle Somers, the Panthers took second in the 11-team field.

Creston finished with a 347, second to Centerville’s 331. Albia was third with a 349, followed by Knoxville with a 355. Central Decatur was seventh with a 377.

East Union was eighth with

a 385. Clarke was 10th with a 496.

Somers was the medalist with a four-overpar round of 76, edging Centerville’s Colton Belloma by one Somers stroke.

“Kyle won again and played a good round of golf,” said Creston/Orient-Macksburg assistant coach Ryan McKim. Somers did well on the par fours and fives, making up for issues he had on the

par threes.

“He struggled a little on the par threes, but made plenty of birdies to get those strokes back,” McKim said.

Somers continued his strong play heading into an important part of the season, with the Hawkeye 10 Conference meet and sectionals coming up soon.

“Kyle is playing well and should have confidence heading into this key stretch of the season,” McKim said.

Michael Stults was next in for the Panthers with an 82.

“Michael continues to play well and give us that second really solid score that we need,” McKim said.

Brayton Chesnut came in with an 83, followed by Hayden Green’s 96, Beau Stults Thompson’s 102 and Trey Cheers’ 117.

The team played well at a prime spot.

“It was our best outing as a team and hopefully gives our guys some motivation heading down the stretch,” McKim said.

East Union was led by Sanden Cheers’ 88.

UP NEXT — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg is back on the course Monday against Red Oak. East Union plays again Thursday again at The Preserve on Rathbun Lake, starting at noon.

Centerville, 331; Creston/ Orient-Macksburg, 347; Albia, 349; Knoxville, 355; Davis County, 368; Moravia, 374; Central Decatur, 377; East Union, 385; Chariton, 397; Clarke, 496.

Putnam County, Missouri, was incomplete.

Creston cards — Kyle Somers, 76; Michael Stults, 82; Brayton Chesnut, 83; Hayden Green, 96; Beau Thompson, 102; Trey Cheers, 117.

East Union cards — Sanden Cheers, 88; Christopher Case, 95; Ryan Collins, 100; Kyle Campbell, 102; Trevor Jones, 104; Gavin Kline, 113.

PANTHER BOYS SOCCER PANTHER GIRLS SOCCER

Titans wear down Panthers in second half

Titan offense too much for Panthers

Physical match takes toll on tired Panthers

Lewis Central’s Grace Guidry and other Titans found room to roam in front of the Creston net during Tuesday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference girls soccer match.

Godfrey and company took advantage of the space given to them.

Godfrey had five goals as the Class 2A third-ranked Titans routed the Panthers 10-0 in approximately 50 minutes.

The Panthers were a step slower than the Titans throughout.

“The ball is moving fast and they know it’s going to move fast,” said Creston coach Kim Lauffer.

The Creston boys soccer team started feeling the affects of seventh game in 10 days later in Tuesday’s Hawkeye 10 match against Lewis Central.

Combine that a depleted bench which limited substitutions and extremely physical play from Lewis Central took a toll on the hometown 11.

Lewis Central capitalized and was able to come away with an 8-1 win.

The Titans’ punishing physical style, with hard challenges and tackles throughout, eventually wore out the Panthers.

“We tried, but we were

too shorthanded,” said Creston coach Lucian Diaconu.

“They got in our heads with this chippy game.”

Creston kept with Lewis Central in the first half.

The Titans struck first when Tony Ramos found the back of the net off a long pass in the third minute.

The Panthers countered a minute later when a shot over the top of the Titans defense by Evan Jacobson connected with Ben Irr. Irr then buried the shot past the Titans keeper for the game-tying goal.

Action in the midfield dominated much of the next 20 minutes. At times, the play was extremely rough, with hard tackles being made by both teams all over the pitch.

The physical play took a toll on the shorthanded, and in some cases, sick, Panthers.

“We got intimidated by

some unsportsmanship on the field,” Diaconu said.

The Titans were able to control possession for much of it.

Lewis Central capitalized in the 21st minute when Paul Devine booted one past the Creston keeper for a 2-1 lead.

Still, Creston was in it.

“The first half was productive,” Diaconu said. “We stepped up to the plate.”

Creston was able to hang with Lewis Central through the next 19 minutes, with the Panthers back line holding.

But the game became even more physical. Lewis Central got a yellow card, then in the discussion of the play, the Titans assistant coach was also given a yellow card.

Lewis Central’s constant offensive pressure started wearing on Creston, which

for people who were trying to rip shots, which then saturates the area and no one can see what’s going on, then they just keep sending it back to be passed back in over and over again and it ends the way it did,” Lauffer said.

Lewis Central’s front line players moved the ball around rapidly, leaving Creston defenders chasing the ball, without much success.

“It was tough for them to slow it down,” Lauffer said.

“The reason it was tough for them as they were advised if they’re poking it through, then we need to start manning up. Instead of manning up, they just kept trying to cover space and were leaving people wide open over and over and over again.”

Guidry and company took advantage regularly.

Caitlyn Hanafan started the scoring with a goal in the sixth minute. Suzie McDonald tallied the next Titans

goal in the eighth minute.

Guidry then caught on fire. In the 13th minute, she struck for the first time.

In the 24th minute, Guidry struck again to make it 4-0.

Guidry connected again in the 25th minute to make it 5-0.

Malena Beezley tallied a goal a few minutes later, then Jaedyn Mack put one in the back of the net in the 35th minute. Lewis Central led 7-0 at halftime.

Guidry kept right on shooting and scoring, tallying her fourth goal in the 43rd minute. She pushed goal number five home in the 48th minute.

The game ended when Creston’s defense misplayed a clearing attempt and the ball ended up in the back of the Panthers net for an own goal.

UP NEXT — Creston (16, 1-4) is at Riverside Friday.

SPARTAN BASEBALL

Southwestern baseball rebounds

C L A S S I F I E D S Be a Know-It-All

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

After struggling for several weeks, the Southwestern Community College baseball team has started to round back into form once more.

Last Thursday, the Spartans survived a wild 14-13, 11-inning win over the Graceland JV. The Spartans then took three of four over the weekend at Marshalltown Community College.

Against Graceland, the Spartans jumped out to a 4-0 lead, scoring three runs in the first and one in the second.

“It was one of those things before the game started, I told the guys to come ready and prepared to play,” said Southwestern coach Pedro Hernandez.

“They got comfortable with the early lead, then hit cruise control.”

Graceland JV struck back with nine unanswered runs, six in the third and three in the fourth.

Southwestern responded, outscoring the Graceland JV 10-4 the rest of the way.

“When we were down 9-4, we knew we had to step up,” Hernandez said.

“It was not pretty, but we did come back. The important thing was we got the win.”

The Southwestern bats kept hot throughout, churning out 17 hits.

Victor Perez was 4-for-6 with two runs batted in with two runs. Manuel Hazoury, Pedro Nazario, Gabriel Leon and Andre Beltran each had two hits. Angel Morales and Erick Espinoza each scored three times. Hazoury also scored twice.

Southwestern’s confidence never wavered, even when down big.

“The guys got the mentality that we can do this,” Hernandez said. “Especially on a day when pitching and defense were not the best, we were not only hitting, but on the bases, they were aggressive, taking the extra bag.”

Southwestern scored two in the fourth, three in the sixth and three in the seventh of the scheduled nine inning contest. Graceland JV tacked on single runs in the sixth, eight and ninth.

After a scoreless 10th, Graceland JV scored a run in the 11th. Southwestern countered with two on a base hit to center for the win.

Southwestern won its first conference series since moving back up to Division I by taking three of four in Marshalltown.

The Spartans dropped game one 8-6, but recovered to win game two Saturday 6-2. Southwestern took both games Sunday, winning 8-5 and 8-4.

“Anytime you’re able to win three of four, it’s a good series and a good opportunity,” Hernandez said.

Southwestern freshman John Poldberg whips a pitch toward home plate during SWCC’s 14-13, nearly five-hour victory over Graceland’s junior varsity baseball team Thursday.

Marshalltown edged ahead in game one Saturday with two runs in the sixth, all with two outs. Southwestern had runners at second and third, but couldn’t bring them in.

In the second game Saturday, Oscar Rivera gave up one run in five and two-thirds innings. He walked four and struck out five, while allowing four hits.

Southwestern poured on two in the third and four more in the fourth.

Waldemar Figueroa had the big bat for Southwestern in game two, going 3-for-4 with two RBIs. Stephen Soto had a hit and drove in two. Perez had two hits and scored twice. Nazrio had a hit, drove in a run and scored a pair.

Sunday in the first game, the Spartans surged late, scoring four runs in the seventh to take an 8-4 lead. Marshalltown added a run in the home half, but could score no more.

The Spartans tallied three in the first and one in the second. Marshalltown scored one in the first and three in the third.

Figueroa scorched the ball again, going 3-for-4 with two RBIs and a run.

Nazario was 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs. Perez was 2-for-5 with a run.

Espinosa had a hit and scored twice.

Ian Torres went the distance on the hill. He allowed 11 hits, struck out seven and walked none.

In Sunday’s second game, Southwestern jumped to a big lead early and never looked back.

The Spartans tallied three in the first and two more in the third, with one more in the fourth and two in the sixth.

The Tigers had a run in the third and fourth, then pushed two across in the seventh.

Hazoury was 1-for-2 with two runs and two RBIs. Perez had a hit and scored twice. Leon was 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs.

Southwestern took advantage of runners in scoring position all weekend.

“We were really aggressive,” Hernandez said. “The guys kept driving in runs. They stepped up big for us.”

Jhon Vargas pitched the first five and two-third innings, allowing eight hits, two earned runs and striking out seven without allowing a walk.

The defense, which had been struggling as of late, had three errors in the two games combined on Sunday and one in each of the games Saturday.

A change in practice paid off.

“We were trying to speed things up for them, also talked about expecting the plays,” Hernandez said. “Expect the plays at you to come quick. The expectation is that when the game comes to that, it’s going to look so much slower. That more uptempo, right angles towards the ball and bag paid off for us. They felt ready for the weekend.”

Southwestern improved to 16-28, bettering its win total of last season.

The Spartans are now 4-12 in ICCAC play.

“That was one of the goals we had in mind,” Hernandez said.

The Spartans stand only one game behind Marshalltown in league play.

UP NEXT — Southwestern is at Ellsworth Thursday and hosts league leader Iowa Western for doubleheaders Friday and Saturday.

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, April 26, 2017

National Volunteer Appreciation Week

NAME: Roger Lanning WHAT ORGANIZATIONS DO YOU VOLUNTEER FOR? Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days, Creston Kiwanis Club, Creston Airport Commission WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT VOLUNTEERING? Just being able to give back to the community, especially with Balloon Days to see other people in the community come out and be involved in an event and get some enjoyment out of it.

WHY DO YOU VOLUNTEER? I just feel like people are always asking for things from other people. I would prefer to give back to my community and try to help it be a better place, whether it’s directly helping people or putting on an event. Something to better CNA file photo the community.

Pictured is Roger Lanning, who volunteers for several HOW LONG HAVE organizations in Creston, most notably the Southwest YOU BEEN VOLUN- Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days.

TEERING? I’ve been on Balloon Days for 11 years, but I’ve been on Kiwanis since probably about 1989 or so. I don’t know how long I’ve been on the airport commission, probably about eight years.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE EVENT TO VOLUNTEER AT? It really is Balloon Days. Just gives me a lot of satisfaction. I think it’s good for the community. It’s a nice time of the year. It gets people out and about and brings a lot of people into town, too.

WHY IS VOLUNTEERING IMPORTANT FOR THE COMMUNITY? There’s just a lot of groups and organizations that do a lot of good things for the community, a lot of them I’m not involved in, that wouldn’t exist without people volunteering. People always want things done, but if people don’t volunteer to do it, it’s not going to get done. Sometimes it’’s unfortunately a lot of the same people volunteering when there’s some who don’t get involved. If we could get some of those people involved, everybody could help out a little bit instead of some people a whole bunch.

​NAME: Becky Riley WHAT ORGANIZATIONS DO YOU VOLUNTEER FOR? Appalachia Service Project and One in Christ is an ecumenical group in town that does the backpack mission and lunches for kids, where the school provides lunches through mid-July and then churches take over and provide lunches from mid-July until school starts again. That makes sure kids have an opportunity every day to get lunch. Then Creston Area Food Pantry and things through church.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT VOLUNTEERING? I like Contributed photo to volunteer to give others Pictured are Becky Riley, left, and Sharon Snodgrass, volhope. Hope that somebody unteers with Appalachia Service Project. cares, and hope that things will get better.

WHY DO YOU VOLUNTEER? A couple of reasons. One is to help other people. Initially when I first started volunteering, it was to set an example for my own kids. I like helping other people, but I also wanted my kids to see they could make a difference without it really costing them anything.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN VOLUNTEERING? ASP I went as a youth, so that was 40-some years ago. I didn’t go every year. I think I’ve been 24 or 25 times, something like that, on ASP. Creston Area Food Pantry, I just started a few years ago. One in Christ, we started, that actually kind of started through our church work. I think we’ve been going four or five years on that one. Church, ever since I moved to town. That would have been 1981 when I moved to town.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE EVENT TO VOLUNTEER AT? Probably ASP is my favorite thing. I like the fact that we get to help people in another region of our own country have warmer, safer, dryer homes. More than that, I like the fact we take youth from Creston and give them the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. That tends to change lives when they figure out they can do that.

WHY IS VOLUNTEERING IMPORTANT FOR THE COMMUNITY? There are always things in the community that need to be done that there’s not funding for, not manpower for. Without volunteers, that work wouldn’t get done. There’s a lot of good people who do a lot of good stuff.

Ritter recognized for volunteer efforts National Volunteer Appreciation Week is April 23-29, a perfect time to say “thanks” to the 33 percent of Iowans who donate their time to make a difference.

Iowa is ranked 10th in the nation among states with the highest volunteer rates, according to the most recent data available from the Corporation for National & Community Service. Longtime Creston resident Kay Ritter is one of these individuals and was recognized last year for her contributions by the Hospice and Palliative Care Association

of Iowa.

As a volunteer with HCI Hospice Care Services, Ritter provides support, companionship and hope to those facing life-limiting illnesses. She is also an active community volunteer.

When did you begin volunteering for HCI Hospice Care Services, and what inspired you to volunteer?

I started volunteering for Greater Regional Hospice over 25 years ago and continued when it became part of HCI Care Services in 2014.

What do your regular

volunteer activities consist of?

I try to go every Friday to water plants, bake cookies, visit with families and do the recycling for the house.

If needed, I go help with meals, answer phones and help any way I can.

What do you enjoy most/ find most rewarding?

I find it rewarding to spend time with families and to keep the cookie jar filled.

What has been one of your favorite moments as a volunteer?

We had a very close

Smart food swaps mean more nutrition and less ‘giving up’ (BPT) – Does it ever seem like a lot of healthy-eating advice is about “less,” “giving up” and “taking away?”

Reducing fat and sodium intake, avoiding high-calorie foods and trimming portion size are commonly heard pieces of advice when you’re trying to lose weight or improve your diet. But health experts agree, good eating doesn’t just mean giving up bad habits, it’s also about adding foods with more nutritional value.

“Instead of focusing on what you shouldn’t eat, focus on making nutrition-packed swaps,” says registered dietician and nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner. “A few easy swaps I tell my clients about include replacing white bread with whole grain, higher-fat protein sources with leaner ones, and upgrading your ordinary products like eggs or cereal with higher-nutrition varieties.”

Here are five better-foryou food swaps from Blatner that will jam pack your diet with enhanced nutrition without making you feel like you’re giving anything up: Instead of mayo Try an avocado-based spread on your sandwiches and as a base for homemade dressings. A single tablespoon of mayonnaise has 90 calories, 10 grams of fat, 5 milligrams of cholesterol and 90 milligrams of sodium, but zero potassium or fiber, according to the California Avocado Commission. In comparison, 2 tablespoons of fresh avocado have just 50 calories, 4.5 grams of (mostly good) fat, no cholesterol or sodium, and 150 milligrams of potassium and 2 grams of fiber.

Crack eggs individually desired consistency. into a ramekin or cup and create a gentle whirlpool in Instead of fried food The crunch of fried food the water.

Slowly pour the eggs one is alluring, but you can get that same crunch in a much by one into the water and healthier superfood way. In- leave to cook for three minstead of coating chicken or utes. fish with breading and plunging it into a bath of hot oil, use chopped nuts. Nuts contain healthy fat, protein, and fiber and when baked in a hot oven (about 400-425 degrees F), nut-coated protein is crunchy and delicious. Try nut-covered chicken fingers today!

Instead of ground beef Americans love beef and eat about 25 billion pounds of it every year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. But depending on the quality and cut you buy, beef can be high in fat and cholesterol. Lentils can be a high-nutrition protein source that can go virtually anywhere you use ground beef, including burgers, meatloaf and taco filling. Naturally low in calories and fat free, lentils provide fiber, protein and potassium.

Food swaps focused on increasing healthful nutrients, rather than decreasing what you don’t want, can be rewarding and delicious. Try this recipe from Eggland’s best to get started on your new “more-is-better” lifestyle.

Using Eggland’s Best in a recipe not only will give you superior nutrition, but could earn you $5,000.

7 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Kiwifruit a slower rise in blood sugar levels than other fruits, providing energy and helping to fend off blood sugar spikes and crashes.

(BPT) – When it comes to fruit, kiwis are often overlooked. But that’s a shame, because these tiny orbs pack big nutritional, culinary and palate-pleasing surprises.

Here are seven little-known facts about kiwifruit: 1. There’s no need to peel kiwifruit.

Kiwifruit is the perfect portable snack because it is easy to eat. Just cut in half with a knife and scoop with a spoon. That’s it - just cut, scoop, and enjoy. But before

you cut, make sure it’s ripe.

Hold a kiwifruit in the palm of your hand and squeeze gently. A ripe kiwifruit will give to slight pressure. Once kiwifruit is ripe, you can pop it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks (assuming you can resist eating it on the spot).

2. Not all kiwifruit is green and hairy.

Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit has a smooth, hairless skin and a juicy, yellow flesh quite different than the fuzzy green kiwifruit to which most Americans are accustomed.

Their taste is tropical-sweet, like a cross between a mango and a strawberry.

3. Kiwifruit can help stabilize blood sugar.

The glycemic index, or GI, measures how a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood sugar. Fruits

with a glycemic index (GI) less than 55 are considered low GI, meaning they produce a gradual rise in blood sugar levels that’s easy on the body. Kiwifruit’s low GI scores (green kiwifruit is 39 and SunGold is 38) and high fiber content allow for

4. Kiwifruit can ease digestive discomfort.

Feeling a bit backed up?

Kiwifruit can aid digestive concerns in several ways.

For constipation, researchers believe the soluble and insoluble fibers in kiwifruit can promote laxation. For bloating, both green and SunGold have actinidin, an enzyme unique to kiwifruit that helps break down protein and streamline digestion.

5. Kiwifruit is good for your gut.

Kiwifruit provides prebiotic “food� for probiotics, the good bacteria that live in our digestive systems. So when you consume kiwifruit, you’re also feeding the 100 trillion little helpers in your gut, which support immunity, mood regulation and metabolism. Give yourself a perfect pairing of probiotics and prebiotics by enjoying yogurt topped with chopped kiwifruit.

6. Kiwifruit = delicious source of nutrients.

Kiwifruit is tasty, but that’s not all. A serving of Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit has three times more vitamin C than an orange and as much potassium as a medium banana, and a serving of green is high in fiber and a good source of folate.

7. Kiwifruit makes a mean meat tenderizer.

The actinidin in kiwifruit that can help beat your bloat also makes the fruit a great meat tenderizer. Make your own marinade with two green kiwifruit, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar and a dash of salt and pepper.

Simply marinade for 10-15 minutes before tossing your beef, chicken or fish on the grill.

Not all kiwifruit is created equal. With Zespri, growers put a focus on quality, and you can really taste the difference. Interested in trying Zespri Kiwifruit? Hurry to your local retailer as both Zespri Green and SunGold kiwifruit are in stores now through December.

This is my mother’s (the original Heloise, 1919-1977) recipe from long ago. It’s nice to know it’s still a favorite! Here you go: HELOISE PEKING ROAST Use a 3-5 pound beef roast. Any cut, even the cheapest!

For the marinade: Use cutup garlic (slivers) and cut-up onions. Some people who may not like garlic or onions can skip this step. Also use 1 cup of apple-cider, white or even red-wine vinegar.

When time to cook, you will need 2 cups BREWED strong black coffee.

Use a sharp knife to cut slits into the roast, then insert slivers of garlic and onions, depending on your taste buds! Put the meat in

a large zip-top bag or into a bowl, and slowly pour the vinegar over it. Add enough water to cover the meat.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 24 to 48 hours. Turn the bag often, or baste the meat occasionally with the vinegar mixture.

Before cooking, DRAIN THE MEAT! Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a heavy pot over medium-high heat (a cast-iron Dutch oven is good). Add the meat and brown until very dark on all sides. Pour the coffee over the meat and add enough water to cover the meat.

Cover. Reduce heat and cook slowly for approximately 6 hours.

Check often, as you may need to add water to keep the meat covered. When the meat is tender, then and ONLY then add salt and pepper to taste. You’ll find this and other scrumptious family recipes in my AllTime Favorite Recipes pamphlet by going to my website, www.Heloise.com, to order it, or send a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/ Recipes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-

5001. The best part of this roast? Some say it’s the next day, when you fix a roast beef sandwich! Try it yourself and see. – Heloise EASY CHEESECAKE Dear Readers: Would you like to make a quickand-easy cheesecake? Mix one average-size package of vanilla pudding according to the directions on the package. Add 1 (8-ounce) package of softened cream cheese and mix until well blended. Pour the mixture into a STORE-BOUGHT graham-cracker pie crust and refrigerate until set.

You can use canned fruit pie filling to top. If watching calories, use water-packed cherries, low-calorie apple topping or fresh fruit! I drain the cherries, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, mix and top the cheesecake. – Heloise HANGING RECIPE Dear Heloise: When using a recipe card or clipping, I use a magnet to attach it to the hinge on a kitchen cabinet. It’s easy to read. – James the Cook, Colorado Springs, Colo. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

4-H leaders: A leadership retreat was held at 4-H/FFA Center on Adair County Fairgrounds

in Greenfield. Ninth through 12th grade 4-H’ers learned a variety of leadership skills including interviewing techniques, dinner etiquette and manners, discovering their personality colors, leadership legacy and working with each other on challenge activities. There was lots of fun and learning for all involved, and a great partnership between counties. Participants pictured in front row from left are Ellan Clay of Adair County, Macy Evans of Union County, Hannah Jorgensen of Adair County, Lauren Hadley of Union County and Ashlyn Kralik of Adair County. In back row are Taylor Sorrells of Union County, Cole and Morgan Johnston of Taylor County and Laura Weis, Rakenzy Pryor, Izak Hribal, and Levi Hitz, all of Union County. Dalten Bierle of Union County is on the floor.

The Gathering Table on Iowa tourism office’s 99 restaurants list ORIENT – The Gathering Table in Adair Country is included in the Iowa Tourism Office’s list of “99 Restaurants to Try in Iowa.”

Located on the grounds of the Henry A. Wallace Country Life Center, the Gathering Table is open Fridays for lunch and dinner. The changing menus feature the seasonal fruits, vegetables and herbs grown in the nearby eightacre production garden and orchard. Private events can be held inside the two-story Gathering Barn or outside on the grounds. More information about the nonprofit can be found at www.wallace.org. and reservations can be made by calling 641-337-5019.

“Our uniqueness is serving you fresh produce started from seed and grown on site, then harvested a day or two before you eat it,” Chef Amy Sivadge said.

“The weekly changing menu provides the comfort of dishes you recognize as well as introducing you to tastes you might not have ever tried. And the view of

the ever-changing prairie is amazing.”

The list includes one restaurant from every county and covers a wide range of dining options and specialty dishes. Travelers will find best burgers in Fairfield, top tenderloins in Prairie City, super steaks in Mason City, farm-to-table in Orient, fine dining in Cedar Rapids, cultural cuisines in Elkader, eclectic eats in Des Moines, comfort food in Balltown and so much more.

“Food is synonymous with travel. Not only do people travel for the specific purpose of sampling unique, local cuisine, but when people travel for any reason, they’re also interested in authentic dining experiences,” said Shawna Lode, manager of the Iowa Tourism Office. “Iowa’s diverse ethnic communi-

ties, range of small towns and urban centers and a strong agricultural industry combine to make our state home to some of the most interesting and memorable breakfast, lunch and dinner opportunities in the nation.”

People can browse the list by travel area at www. traveliowa.com/99restaurants. Travelers are encouraged to take photos at the restaurants and share using #ThisIsIowa.

Tourism in Iowa generates more than $8.06 billion in expenditures and $466 million in state taxes, plus employs 67,400 people statewide. The Iowa Tourism Office is part of the Iowa Economic Development Authority. For more information, visit www. traveliowa.com, call 800345-IOWA or stop at any Iowa Welcome Center.
