Teaching icon leaves with class of 2017

Real-life lessons Public service experience aids Hughes in classroom ■

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Every time you hear about a new brew pub gaining popularity somewhere in Iowa, you can thank three longtime Creston High School teachers.

While teaching history in Creston, Randy Hughes served two terms in the Iowa House of Representatives from 1983 through 1987.

One afternoon, he and colleague Jim Lippold were invited to fellow CHS teacher John Rose’s house. Rose was an avid home beer brewer.

Brew pub idea While he wasn’t a beer drinker, Hughes was intrigued by an idea offered by Rose and the Creston Democrat took it back to the Iowa Statehouse for consideration by fellow lawmakers.

“Jim and I would brew our own beer,” Rose said.

“There were no brew pubs allowed in Iowa at that time, but we talked about the idea of home brewing becoming a business opportunity in the state. Randy introduced a bill to legalize brew pubs in Iowa. It eventually passed and that’s how brew pubs came about.”

Hughes said his name was on the original brew pub bill, but it did not reach the governor’s desk until after he left the Iowa Legislature.

“John was so passionate about what he was doing in home brewing,” Hughes said. “He said more people should be able to do it. I introduced it, but it didn’t go anywhere during my time. But, the Democratic staff liked the idea. They kept introducing it until it was passed.”

Hughes said he entered politics at a pivotal time for BREW | 2A

History instructor Randy Hughes retires from SWCC ■

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Like the passionate New York Yankees baseball fan that he is, Randy Hughes describes his impending retirement from education in baseball terms.

“I’m tired,” said the 68-year-old Southwestern Community College history instructor. “It’s like a pitcher going 12 innings, throwing 180 pitches.”

As much as he enjoys teaching, Hughes said 47 years is enough.

“I’m in the class of 2017,” he said. “When they go, I go.

I just don’t have enough physical and mental stamina left.”

The retirements of Hughes and Dr. Lori Lester, science instructor, were approved by the Southwestern Board of Directors on March 14.

For Hughes, it’s a second retirement. The Fort Madison native began a 36-year career at Creston High School upon graduation from the University of Northern Iowa in 1970.

After taking early retirement from there in 2006, he was curious about an opportunity to teach at the college level.

Hughes is completing his 11th year at Southwestern with a busy spring semester, teaching classes in west-

ern civilization, Middle East studies, U.S. history, African-American history and world geography.

“Mr. Hughes probably sees more students every day than anyone on campus,” said Bill Taylor, SWCC vice president of instruction. “He averages about 30 per class in one of our bigger classrooms, so he has probably 90 students a day going through his classroom. We wish him the best in his retirement because he’s earned it, but he’s going to be hard to replace.”

Taylor said Hughes, a former state legislator while teaching high school social studies (see related story), brought valuable experience to the classroom and led by example.

“He’s been a tremendous

faculty leader,” Taylor said.

“He leads by what he does and how he does it. Being in class on time. Meeting all of our deadlines. Having office hours and doing what he is supposed to do as a faculty member by meeting with students between classes.”

Taylor said Hughes’ unique style of presenting historical material as a story teller, rarely having to refer to notes, is engaging for students. Hughes said history is a passion developed early in his life.

“It’s exciting to me,” Hughes said. “This is the story of who we are and where we came from. It turns me on! Maybe that’s what comes through, I don’t know. I’ve been told I make HUGHES | 10A

Charles Mannie Lundquist, son of Mannie and Carrie (Wycoff) Lundquist, was born May 17, 1931, near Brooks. He moved with his parents to a farm east of Corning in March 1933.

He attended school at Mercer No. 3 and Corning High School, graduating with the class of 1949. Following graduation, Charles became active in farming and attended the winter quarters at Iowa State College for two years.

Charles served his country in the United States Army from May 1952 until his honorable discharge in May 1954. He was assigned basic training at Fort Bliss, Texas, and was later assigned there for artillery school. Following his discharge, Charles returned to farming in Adams County. He would spend his entire lifetime for more than 60 years as a farmer.

On Aug. 2, 1964, Charles married Deva Mae Bycroft at the Lenox Methodist Church. Their first home was in Corning. In March 1965, they moved to their present farm home north of Lenox.

Charles was a member

of Stringtown Community Church, where he served as a board member. He served 10 years on Adams County Extension Council, was an Adams County 4-H Leader, member of Adams County Farm Bureau for more than 50 years and served on the board for 10 years, Adams Mutual Insurance Board for 33 years, member of Adams County Cattlemen’s Association, Lenox American Legion Parkinson Post No. 250 and served on Adams County Republican Committee.

Charles is survived by his wife of 52 years, Deva of Lenox; son David (Lynn) Lundquist of Lenox; grandchildren, Kyle (Liz) Phillips of Neola and Kelsia Linthicum of Corning; great-grandchildren, Adalynn, Leah, Noelle, Serena and Emmett Charles; sisters, Alice Boozan of Warrenton, Missouri, and Doris West of Clarinda; sister-inlaw Joan Mosby of Bedford; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

She attended school in Missouri until her family moved to Iowa her junior year. She graduated from Corning High School with the class of 1960. Following high school, Marilyn attended college in St. Joseph, Missouri.

On Jan. 29, 1961, Marilyn married Gary Alvin Mitchell at Maple Grove United Methodist Church in Guss, and they were married nearly 55 years.

Marilyn was a homemaker and farmwife who helped with the work on the farm. The family moved to Georgia in 1986 where she worked at a daycare. They returned to Iowa in 1988 and she worked as a home health aide. She also worked at Pamida in Corning for 10 years prior to its closing.

Iowa governor defends regulator who works as private lawyer DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad says Iowa Utilities Board chairwoman Geri Huser has done nothing wrong in maintaining a Branstad busy outside law practice while earning a $128,900 state salary.

Branstad said Monday that Huser has put in a “tremendous amount of time� leading the three-member board that regulates electric and gas utilities. He says Huser has disclosed her work with Skinner

Pizza Specials 2 Large 2 Topping

Law Office as required, and that the Senate should confirm her reappointment.

A Senate committee delayed Huser’s confirmation last week after The Associated Press reported that she’s handled scores of cases as an attorney during her two-

year tenure. Huser’s firm was awarded $177,000 in fees in matters in which she was the primary attorney, and estimates it will receive $28,000 more in pending cases.

State law requires board members to devote their “whole time� to their duties.

state services, including education. Two years of public service leave was included in the local teachers’ contracts, so he took off the second semester for each of the four years he served in the Iowa House, which equated to two years. “I taught the first semester and went to session in the second semester,� Hughes said. “President Reagan had just introduced his new Federalism type of idea, which I thought was a good idea. It was that the states assume more responsibility, so we’re going to reduce federal taxes. So, the state’s going to have more freedom to raise their taxes and use the funding in a more timely, direct and appropriate fashion. Then Iowa started cutting its taxes like the federal government did, so this wasn’t going to work. I felt education was going to take the biggest blow. It was almost a self-defense candidacy.�

Unique bill history Hughes said he had a couple of unique experiences as a legislator, just as Terry Branstad was beginning his career as Iowa governor as successor to Robert D. Ray. “I was floor manager for the first bill that Governor Branstad vetoed,� Hughes said. “It was a certification system for teachers, much like medicine and the law.

You’d have to pass the boards to become a teacher, not just get the credit from the college. We didn’t have the votes to override the veto. “I was also the floor manager for the only bill that

got passed and repealed in the same session,� he said, smiling. “The bill allowed utility companies to use alternative energy investments as operating expenses and pass them on to the consumer, which meant rates might go up. But it was designed as the beginning of wind energy and expanded solar energy in the state.

However, the Iowa Commerce Commission designs utility bills and they started labeling the pilot project in Des Moines as ‘this expense is because of House Bill 405.’ So, every customer got a bill with an extra charge on it, and the legislators in Des Moines started hearing from their constituents.

They got the bill repealed, and of course the oil people and coal people were happy that happened. I said wind energy was delayed 20 years in Iowa by that.�

Local successes But, there were also success stories for his home district.

Hughes’ faculty office at Southwestern Community College is within a few hundred yards of two beneficiaries of legislation that occurred during his public service. “The dormitories here came out of an amendment that allowed colleges to build those directly, instead of having to go through housing foundations,�

Hughes said. “At the time we had the Southwestern Housing Foundation. And, (Southern Prairie) YMCA got a big donation from the hospital when they were raising money to get it built, but we had to get an amendment to a bill to allow that.

So, I’m a stone’s throw away from a couple of re-

ally important things that happened.�

That wasn’t the end of Hughes’ involvement in local politics, however. He also served a term and a half on the Creston Community Schools Board of Directors after retiring from Creston High School in 2006. He resigned from that post in 2010. At the time, he said he saw it as a chance to give back to the community that educated his children.

He said he had one regret from that period. Principal Todd Wolverton had proposed a required senior project for graduation.

Hughes supported the concept, which failed to gain majority board approval. “Todd Wolverton was very much ahead of the curve among administrators,� Hughes said. “Having a major research project under their belt, oh yeah I was in favor. Research, oral presentation and answering questions about it. Those are the crucial skills successful college students have.

But it got squelched. Too much work for the kids.�

Bill Taylor, Southwestern vice president of instruction, said Hughes’ public service experiences provided added value in the classroom. “He has knowledge from his background in the state legislature,� Taylor said. “That adds a lot of credibility to his instruction in those areas.� “I learned that the day to day operations of state government sometimes don’t reflect what the textbook tells you,� Hughes said. “I am a better history teacher because of that, and when we get into government activities I have that knowledge and experience with me.�

First vote on Gorsuch nears with starkly opposing views WASHINGTON (AP) — A starkly divided Senate panel on Monday weighed President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, with Republicans casting Neil Gorsuch as a fiercely independent judge and Democrats complaining that his testimony “diluted with ambiguity� makes him the wrong choice.

The Republican-led Judiciary Committee was expected to back Gorsuch and send his nomination to the full Senate, most likely on a near-party line vote.

Later on, intent on getting Trump’s pick on the high court — and securing a much-needed win for his party and the new president — Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is likely to change Senate rules so that Gorsuch can

be confirmed with a simple majority in the 100-seat chamber instead of the 60 votes now required.

Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, strongly defended the Denver-based appeals court judge as a fair and independent man. He said Democrats had worked to try and find fault with him, but “that fault will not stick.� “He’s a mainstream judge who’s earned the universal respect of his colleagues on the bench and in the bar,�

Grassley said. “He applies the law as we in Congress write it_as the judicial oath

Every

says, without respect to persons. And he refuses to compromise his independence.�

However, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the panel, said Gorsuch’s answers during two days of questioning before the committee were “diluted with ambiguity.� She announced her opposition to the nominee. “Judge Gorsuch’s views were difficult to discern because he refused to answer questions, even basic questions that had been answered by previous nominees,�

Feinstein said.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about costly wedding gowns: “Dear Heloise: Why are so many wedding gowns so expensive? I went with my daughter to shop for her gown and was completely shocked. The average gown we looked at was between $3,000 and $6,000! While the dresses were beautiful, they will only be worn one time.

These prices are way out of our budget.” – Mother of the Bride, via email Dear Mother of the Bride: Wedding gowns can be very expensive! It all depends on the designer, the material, how much beading, etc.

There are, however, ways to reduce your outlay and hopefully stay within budget. Do visit several stores or check their websites. Many stores have sales on gowns, especially if the dress is considered last season’s fashion. A dressmaker can add embellishments or make a slight adjustment to make the gown more personal.

Don’t discount (pun intended) a previously worn dress! There are a multitude of websites that specialize in wedding gowns. Check out resale shops in more affluent areas.

From a bride who wore her friend Judy’s dress. – Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Uses for 3to 4-ounce plastic food containers: * Quick measure for ingredients. * Glue several together to hold jewelry or safety pins. * A snacking cup for small children. * A starter cup for seeds. * As a scoop for pet food, birdseed, etc. – Heloise IRS PHONE SCAM Dear Heloise: There have been phone scams going on from people who claim to be with the IRS. They give you a phone number to call or demand that you pay money right then. Please let your readers know that it’s a scam. – Janie S., Royal Oak, Mich.

You are right, and I’m happy to pass along this valuable and important warning.

Readers, the Internal Revenue Service DOES NOT CALL YOU! The first contact is a letter via the U.S. Postal Service. However, the exception might be if you are involved in an ongoing criminal proceeding.

DON’T get scammed. DO be smart and savvy! – Heloise

DON’T USE VINEGAR ON THIS Dear Readers: My beloved vinegar is a NO-NO for: * Granite and marble countertops. * Natural stone tiles. * Cleaning the inside of an iron.

However, there are a kazillion other great uses for vinegar – too many to print in this column, but I’ve put as many as possible in my vinegar pamphlet. Visit www.Heloise.com to order one, or send a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope, along with $5, to Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Remember, vinegar is a wonderful cleaning and cooking agent, but as noted above, there are some NO-NOs. – Heloise CUT YOUR SPONGE Dear Heloise: My favorite hint I’d like to share is to cut your kitchen sponge in half.

We have a center island with a sink that is seldom used.

So, the sponge I keep on the side does not need to be full size. I cut one in half and place it there. It does just what needs to be done. Saves money, too. – Sammie in Birmingham, Ala. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

AREA BOYS TRACK AND FIELD Panthers growing, Raiders and Wolverines shine in spots

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

WINTERSET — Creston’s boys track and field squad picked up valuable experience at Friday’s meet in Winterset.

Jared Moreland took 16th out of 28 runners in the 800 meter run, posting a time of 2:28.91.

Hank Looney, 13.67, and Isaac Ralston, 16.89, ran in the 100 meter dash.

Looney, Ashton Wills, Camden Peterson and Dalten Bierle ran the sprint medley for the first time and earned eighth place out of 13 teams by running a 1:42.75.

With the sprint medley being new to the boys meets, the Panthers will be looking to set school records each time out this season.

“Top-notch competition at Winterset,” Creston boys track and field coach Pat Schlapia said. “Very deep in all events from the 14 schools. Very quick meet.

It was a good education for our young team. We learned that we need to work better

on our preparation during the meet, before our events.

Now, Schlapia and crew look forward to Glenwood today, (Monday).

“The Glenwood Meet will be even more competitive,” Schlapia said.

Nodaway Valley left with fifth place after scoring 60 team points.

The Wolverines’ Jared Corder wreaked havoc in several races, winning the 800 in 2:07.43 and 400 in 51.87.

Meanwhile Shane Breheny, Brycen Wallace showed strength in the distance races, notably going 1-2 in the 3,200 meter run.

Nodaway Valley’s 4x800 relay team took second in a field full of bigger schools by running a 8:59.16 Mount Ayr earned eighth with 32.5 points and Clarke was 12th with two team points.

Raiderettes own Bedford meet

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

BEDFORD — A chilly, windy day did nothing to slow the performance of the Mount Ayr girls track and field squad in defeating six other teams at the Raiderettes’ season-opening outdoor track and field meet Friday in Bedford.

Mount Ayr’s 108 points were enough to barely clip Bedford, with 102 points, and Southwest Valley, with 98.

Eleven Raiderettes assisted in picking up points for the victors, with Bailey Anderson, Alyssa Johnson and MacKenzie Shields leading the way with a combined 37 points between them.

Shields helped start the day strong by picking up points with a jump of 4 feet, 11 inches in the high jump to earn a first-place finish.

Anderson took first in the 400 meter dash with a blistering time of 1:03.80, which edged Bedford’s Charissa Mogler, who ran the event in 1:03.86.

Coach Deb Larsen’s team utilized its depth to score individual points all throughout the day.

The end of the day was particularly big. In the last two events, the 4x100 and 4x400, the Raiderettes finished in second and first respectively, which earned the team a total of 18 points in the last two events, com-

Southwest Valley scored 10 points over that same

Spartan baseball drops four to Tigers Defensive miscues costly all weekend for Southwestern ■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

A tough weekend in the field was too much for Southwestern Community College’s pitching and offense to overcome.

Southwestern could not overcome sloppy play throughout the four game

set, in dropping all four games to Marshalltown Community College, two games on Friday and two more on Saturday in Iowa Community College Athletic Conference play.

Marshalltown took game one on Friday 7-3, then took the nightcap 9-6.

The Tigers won game one Saturday 8-5 and then finished the sweep with a 3-2 win.

Southwestern had nine errors Friday and six more Saturday.

“It’s really tough to win games w h e n you’re m a k ing mis- Hernandez takes,” s a i d Southwestern coach Pedro Hernandez. “You’re not helping the pitchers at all.”

A two-run, two out error was the difference in Saturday’s 3-2 loss.

Coming into the week-

end, the Spartans had enjoyed a number of clean games defensively this season, and several others with minimal mistakes.

The errors came in swarms this weekend.

“What is unfortunate about it is it has been one of our fortes,” Hernandez said. “We haven’t committed a bunch of errors in games or no errors in a few.

That’s tough to deal with, but that’s part of the game.”

Hernandez credited his pitching staff with staying

in all four games. Ian Torres had a complete game effort in game two Saturday, with Sean Houston going five solid innings in game one.

Rauvardo Torres and Oscar Rivera each pitched Friday.

“The starters did a great job,” Hernandez said.

Offense scores well at times The Spartan offense found ways to score in all four games, but the Tigers SWCC | 8A

AREA BOYS TRACK AND FIELD

Area boys teams spring into action Timberwolves hold their own ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

BEDFORD — Strong showings in a number of events made Friday’s Bedford meet a nice start in a number of ways for the Southwest Valley and Lenox boys track and field squads in each team’s first outdoor action of the spring.

The Timberwolves finished in third place among the seven teams with 103 team points.

Southwest Valley’s Grant Maurer had a strong day across the board, earning his team 20.5 team points.

Maurer won the 110 hurdles with a time of 17.04, took second in the 400 hurdles with a time of 1:01.61 and ran in the Timberwolves’ first-place winning hurdle shuttle team and 800 meter sprint medley firstplace winners.

Wyatt McAlpin assisted on several of the relays and took second in the 400 meter dash, running it in 54.19 seconds before being defeated at the finish by 0.15 seconds by Griswold’s David Thompson.

Chance Cobb took home a first-place finish in the 200 with a time of 23.97.

“I was very happy with how hard the kids ran and how well they competed tonight,” Southwest Valley coach Allen Naugle said.

“We definitely improved on some times from our indoor meets and we put together some good times for our first races of the year. We definitely need to continue to work on finishing races, especially in the hurdle events but I was very happy

with our performance tonight.”

Lenox took fifth with 61 points.

Strong performers for the Tigers included the likes of Dawson Tullberg, Bret Myers and Sam Donaldson in relay events, but Lenox was namely led by Brenden Christiansen with 20.5 team points.

Christensen topped the field in the discus with a distance of 113-2, was on the 4x400 that grabbed first at the meet in a time of 3:51.07, took second in the 110 meter hurdles in a time of 17.83, and was on Lenox’s second-place finishing hurdle shuttle unit.

“We have some events that we are very competitive in right now, this early, and some others that show a lot of signs of potential,” Lenox coach Matt Malausky said. “We are both looking forward to a great season filled with successes and as always, lots of fun.

UP NEXT — Southwest Valley’s boys squad competes today (Monday) at Treynor. Lenox’s boys will be in competition Tuesday at East Union.

Keirston Klommhaus won the race in a time of 4:38.51, about 14 seconds better than second place Nodaway Valley.

Despite coming up a bit short of the win, the Timberwolves girls squad had some strong individual performances.

Jentry Schafer and Danica Sunderman led Southwest Valley Sunderman in the field events. Jentry Schafer’s discus throw of 96-10 topped the meet, while Sunderman’s shot toss of 336.5 was best at the meet, narrowly edging Mount Ayr’s Sara Winemiller (33-5.5).

Kayley Myers won the 400 meter hurdles for Southwest Valley, winning in 1:18.04, more than six seconds better than her closest competition.

“I was very happy with how our field events performed,” Southwest Valley girls coach Jason Hults said.

“We placed third or better in all four events and scored 42 points, which put (us) into a great position to compete for the team title. All of our relays scored points, and the hand offs looked pretty good overall.”

The Timberwolves placed in 15 of the 19 events on the day.

The Nodaway Valley girls took sixth with 50 team points.

With a first-place finish in the 4x200, the unit of Paige McElfish, Riley Lonsdale, Rachel Scheel and Sadie Marnin scored the team’s best finish. The group ran it in 1:55.79.

Scheel and Marnin both added 10-plus points each.

Lenox took seventh with 26 points.

The Tigers are a group with plenty of young athletes and will have plenty of room to grow throughout the season.

“It was good to get our first outdoor meet under our belt and I look forward to watching these girls improve throughout the season,” coach Mandy Stoaks said.

UP NEXT — The Tiger girls travel to Clarinda Tuesday. The Timberwolves also travel to Clarinda Tuesday.

The Raiderettes go down the road to Nodaway Valley for a meet Tuesday.

had too much offense, aided by the Southwestern mistakes.

“We couldn’t put it all together,” Hernandez said.

Injuries mounting Friday was a tough day for the Spartans backstops.

Catchers Nathan Torres and Kevin Torres were both lost with injuries.

Nathan Torres had a displacement on his thumb after taking a foul tip off of it.

Kevin Torres was hit in the mask with a foul ball and went out with a concussion.

Hernandez noted Nathan Torres will see the doctor today, but is likely out indefinitely. Kevin Torres’ status is day-to-day.

The Spartans were forced into using Jared Heman as the emergency catcher Saturday.

“He did a great job,” Hernandez said. “He hasn’t practiced as a catcher. We threw him out there and he did really well.”

The hope is to have at least Kevin Torres back soon.

“Hopefully, we’ll get them healthy as soon as possible,” Hernandez said.

Those two going down have added up to a number of injuries the Spartans have suffered in the early season.

“We haven’t been fully healthy,” Hernandez said.

“Hopefully we’ll have that soon.”

Up and down weekend The Spartan bats had good moments all weekend. In game two Friday, the Spartans had a 1-0 lead after two.

Southwestern Community College sophomore third baseman Victor Perez fires a ball in time to sophomore first baseman Manuel Hazoury during game two of Saturday’s Iowa Community College Athletic Conference doubleheader against Marshalltown Community College in Creston.

Marshalltown took the lead with four runs in the third, but Southwestern countered with three in the home half of the inning. Marshalltown took over from there, scoring two in the fourth and three more in the fifth. Southwestern had one in the fifth and two in the sixth.

In game one Friday, Marshalltown led the whole way, scoring a run in the third and three more in the fourth.

Southwestern cut into the lead with a run in the fifth, but the Tigers put the game away with three in the sixth.

The Spartans had a run the sixth and seventh.

Saturday, the Spartan bats were on fire early, putting up four spot in the second, then one more in the third.

Marshalltown took over from there. The Tigers scored a run in the third, two in the fourth, three in the sixth and one more in the seventh.

In the night cap Saturday, each team scored one run in the first. Southwestern took the lead with a run in the sec-

ond. Marshalltown then took the lead with two runs, both coming on a two out error.

Southwestern had the winning run at second base, but a strikeout ended the game.

Even with all of the tough moments over the weekend, Hernandez’ team kept giving a strong effort.

“They kept fighting,” Hernandez said. “It was one of those things, any other team faces adversity like that and they give in. They didn’t do that. The guys showed fight.

They didn’t back down to the challenges. That was good to see we were in games. Even with those losses, we were still one hit away in those games.”

UP NEXT — Southwestern, 11-17, 0-4 in ICCAC play, is slated to host Southeastern, Iowa, Wednesday afternoon in a nine-inning game at 1 p.m., but Hernandez noted the forecast does not look promising.

The Spartans are then on the road for a pair of doubleheaders Friday and Saturday at perennial NJCAA Divi-

sion I power Iowa Western in Council Bluffs. First pitch Saturday is set for 2 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

“They’re playing well, so we’ve got to get our guys ready, get them ready for the challenge,” Hernandez said.

“We’re looking forward to the challenge. We’ll see how this week treats our guys.

Hopefully we’ll be healthy for the weekend.”

HUGHES: CONT. FROM | 1A

it like a story. Well, it is a story. There’s a show on the History Channel called ‘The Story of Us’ and that’s what it is. Part of my approach is, history isn’t about dead people. It’s about you, facing the future. What has happened to people and how did they handle it? Did they make good choices or bad choices?

We can learn from that.”

During a recent U.S. history class for the period of the Cold War in the 1950s and 1960s, Hughes related his memories of such topics as the Cuban missile crisis, the space race, the famed Kennedy-Nixon debate on television and Olympic sports rivalries between the United States and Soviet Union.

In each instance, he made the story personal by his recollections. For example, he recalled that in elementary school in Fort Madison there were “duck and cover” drills in case of a nuclear attack.

“Why is our generation skeptical?”

Hughes asked rhetorically.

“Because, we found out later that duck and cover Hughes wouldn’t work too well in the event of a nuclear bomb. We’d be dead.”

Students seemed to be on the edge of their seats when he spoke of concern in the United States when Communist commanders had the capability of launching missile strikes from Cuba during John F. Kennedy’s presidency, noting that 99 percent accuracy for a strike from 10,000 miles aimed at the Strategic Air Command in Omaha could have actually landed 100 miles away in Creston.

“It’s so engaging,” said sophomore Alyssa Higgins of Creston. “You get a taste of what it was like when it was going on. It takes you back to when you were in fifth grade

and what it would be like if you were in that situation. That’s what makes it so intriguing.”

Classmate Maddie Skarda agreed, saying she was never as interested in history as she became in Hughes’ class. Her mother, Mindy Skarda, is a former student of Hughes at Creston High School and now teaches biology at Southwestern.

“We don’t have a textbook,” Skarda said. “He’s just the best story teller ever. Humor is definitely a part of it, and that helps us remember.

I’m always excited to come in here.”

For many years, Hughes worked for the late Ron Levine as principal at Creston High School. But another of his principals, Todd Wolverton, still speaks glowingly of Hughes as an instructor.

would respond, make a determination on what needed to be done, and we’d go from there. For kids learning about it now, it’s like me learning about Pearl Harbor.”

Homecoming skits

Hughes became known for appearances in front of the student body in a different capacity — dressed up as Reverend Victory for homecoming skits at pep assemblies.

He’d come out looking like the Grim Reaper in a hooded robe, and recite a “sermon” based on how humiliated the Panthers’ opponent would be after the upcoming game. Students loved it.

“Those skits for homecoming, he could be like that in class,” said 1990 graduate Terry Freeman. “He often had you laughing. He just had a way of keeping you interested.

Engaging style “Randy Hughes is perhaps I don’t know of anybody who the most engaging teacher I said they hated Mr. Hughes. have had the opportunity to He was in everyone’s top five work with,” said Wolverton, now principal at North Fayette Valley High School in northeast Iowa. “Randy could hold the attention of kids that didn’t give two hoots about social studies by telling great stories and being entertaining.

But to pull that off, you have to know your stuff, and Randy Hughes knew his stuff.”

Wolverton said Hughes could weave personal experience into historical lessons that a younger instructor couldn’t.

For example, Hughes lost a very close friend in the Vietnam War. He was a student at the height of that war.

He now teaches the events of Sept. 11, 2001, as a history lesson. But, as it was happening in real time, he was teaching at Creston High School and was as anxious about the events unfolding on television as his young students.

“I remember Mr. Wolverton asking if I could address the student body that day, since I was a history teacher and could perhaps help them understand,” Hughes related.

“I really didn’t know what to say! I was as confused, and concerned, as anyone else.

favorite teachers, if not the top. He’s still a fun guy when I run into him around town.”

It’s the only way to go through life, Hughes said, and he tries to convey that philosophy to his students.

“I don’t plan to be funny,” Hughes said, “it’s just the way it comes out. Life should be fun. There’s enough tragedy in the world. Life should be as fun as you can make it.”

Hughes also coached girls tennis and middle school wrestling while a high school teacher, and was public address announcer for Panther wrestling for 40 seasons.

“I had the best seat in the house for some great wrestling,” Hughes recalled.

While he enjoyed his long career at Creston High School, Hughes said working at Southwestern allowed him to focus on his true passion.

“I thought I could do things in a little more depth at the college level,” Hughes said.

“There are fewer (outside) duties. I just wanted to teach. Out here, 95 percent of my energy is spent on teaching. No hall duty or other necessary things high school teachers have to do. It’s great being part of the process as young people grow and look at things maybe in a way they haven’t looked at them before.”

It’s rare for a teacher anymore to work in one community for an entire career.

“It just grabbed us,” Hughes said. “We loved the size of the town, loved the rural setting of it. It seduced us into staying.”

Personal involvement Hughes is often in attendance at student activities, whether it’s an athletic contest, musical concert or dramatic presentation. It strengthens the bond of teacher and student in the classroom. When the men’s basketball team had an autograph signing prior

to departing for the national tournament, Hughes went through the line and was seen exchanging hugs with several who are students.

“He’s very connected to us personally,” said Skarda, a member of the SWCC Dazzlers dance team. “He’ll ask us about our activities and we see him there. He cares.”

But soon, he and wife Linda will quietly enjoy more time with their children and grandchildren, all residing in Creston or Des Moines. He doesn’t plan to teach part-time at all.

“No, if I’m in I’m in, if I’m out I’m out,” Hughes said.

“If you teach one class it’s not much different than fulltime. You’re still preparing, evaluating and presenting. I’ll be counting the sunrises each day. I’ll be a better cook, take care of the garden, read for pleasure and just be with family. I plan on relaxing and getting good at it.”
