Computer towers stand behind an array of monitors. Wires tangle together in webs behind several keyboards on two desks in a small room behind a shield of bulletproof glass.

The Union County Law Enforcement Center (LEC) is where the dispatchers of the Union County 911 system employ their skills at relaying communications in the instance of an emergency. It’s also a place that hasn’t been updated in about two decades.

“There’s no cost to the city or county (for the project),” said Paul Ver Meer, Creston Police chief.

The upgrade comes from a $100,000 Wireless E911 Carryover Funds grant.

was used to purchase new law enforcement upgradeable radios and car signal repeaters that will have the capability of going digital if and when that occurs.

The other $30,000 will be used for the upgrade.

Ver Meer “It’s going to help with the answering of 911 emergency calls, to make it more ergonomic for the dispatchers so things are easier for them to manage the calls when they come in,” Ver Meer said. “The way it’s set up right now, it’s sort of cut up a little bit.”

The money will also allow an upgrade to the coun-

communications center and squad room at the LEC. The desks will be rearranged slightly so there is an equal amount of technology on either side, and the computer towers will be stored underneath the counters to give the dispatchers more space to work.

“It’s going to give us less clutter on our desks, and more work space,” said Mark Williams, Union County dispatch supervisor. “All of our monitors and our stations are going to be identical, so you’ll be able to work from either side (of the desk).”

The LEC was erected in about 1974, and the only remodel occurred in the late 1990s or early 2000s, when a wall in the communications center was taken out to expand the room

was added.

“We’ve slowly been doing things to improve the building, the (Union County) sheriff (Rick Piel) and I, since I’ve been here,” Ver Meer said. “We’ve painted the LEC side.

We’ve put new ceilings in.

We’ve put new carpet in the comm center. It’s just been an ongoing process.”

Bolton Cabinetry of Creston will be doing the upgrade. Other estimates were taken by national companies that specialize in designing dispatch areas, but the costs were too high. Work will begin April 25, and is expected to be complete by April 29 or early the following week.

The Creston Community School District’s proposed FY2016-17 budget is ready to be voted on.

The board of directors will hold a public hearing for the proposed budget 6 p.m. Monday in the board room at the district’s administration building, located at 801 N. Elm St. For FY2016-17, the Creston district’s proposed tax rate, which is the dollar amount per $1,000 of taxable valuation, is 16.427.

Prescott’s Greene proposed tax rate is 12.956.

“Creston’s (tax rate) is going to pretty much stay the same, but Prescott’s will go up from 9.995 to 12.956,” said Billie Jo Greene, Creston Schools business manager.

The combined tax asking for Creston and Prescott in FY2016-17 is $6.44 million.

The tax asking for the current year, which does not include Prescott, is $5.81 million, according to re-estimated 2016 data.

While Creston and Prescott schools officially consolidated July 1, Creston and Prescott currently maintain separate tax rates.

“With (Prescott), they will never absorb our debt service until we pass something with the combined district for the debt service, so it will always be different,” Greene said. “Until the debt’s paid off, and it looks like that is May 2023 for the Creston Community School District, it’s always going to be a difference of about 2.61.

State aid For FY2016-17, it is proposed there will be a decrease in state foundation aid compared to the amount of aid the previous year. In 2015, the Creston district had about $9.7 million in state aid. Next year, aid is proposed to be $9.4 million.

The percentage of state supplemental aid, which was recently approved by Iowa legislators as a 2.25 percent increase, will affect the upcoming amount of aid.

“With the 2.25 (percent) not being passed when we publish this, it was at the $9.2 million, but now that we’ve got 2.25, it’s going to go (from) $9.2 million (to) $9.4 million,” Greene said.

“At the last board meeting, we approved the budget guarantee, and that was for $203,731. So, that’s basically the difference; it took the district off the budget guarantee when they gave us BUDGET | 2A

DES MOINES (AP) — House Republicans on Thursday announced a new proposal for state oversight of Iowa’s privatized Medicaid program that they say emphasizes transparency, but it’s unclear whether Senate Democrats will fully embrace the plan.

The proposal would require the three private companies now running the program to provide information for quarterly and annual progress reports to lawmakers who

oversee health issues in the Legislature. Data would also be posted online.

“Iowans can look at it and kind of reach their conclusions just as we will,” said House Speaker Linda Upmeyer, R-Clear Lake.

The progress reports would focus on consumer protection, program performances and integrity, according to Upmeyer.

She said she expects the plan to be included in a budget bill that deals with

health and human services.

A spokesman for the Democratic-controlled Senate, which introduced its own plan earlier in the session, said lawmakers are reviewing the Republican proposal. Democrats want to add a working group of stakeholders for additional overview and create a fund to capture any savings from the new system. Neither of those STATE | 2A

“Last year, we transferred funds from save to debt service, and this year we’re proposing not to do that,” Greene said. “What it means is that we’re not using our save dollars to buy down our debt. The save dollars are for infrastructure. We have proj-

“I’m all for it. I like to claim it’s my idea, but I’m not 100 percent sure I was the only one,” Williams said with a laugh. “But, I have been pushing for it for awhile.”

Ver Meer said possible future projects will include new flooring and windows, and an elevator replacement.

ects, for example, we’ve been replacing concrete in our parking lots, and we have a technology incentive ... so that’s what we feel the money should be better used for is infrastructure instead of paying down the debt.”

Other projects the Creston district is considering are updates within the Early Childhood Center and installing security systems in Creston Schools.

“We’ve got funds budgeted, but not for the whole project(s),” Greene said. “We don’t have any big projects already ready to roll this coming year.

We haven’t pushed out for bids yet.”

ideas is in the Republican proposal.

Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said at a news conference before the release of the GOP plan that his chamber wants to work with Republicans to reach consensus.

“We know we won’t get everything we think is necessary,” he said. “If they’re cooperative enough that we can get what we think is decent protections for Iowans that need these important services, we’ll probably engage in something on that.”

The $4.2 billion Medicaid program, which is funded through federal and state dollars, provides health care to about 560,000 poor and

disabled residents in Iowa.

It was switched to private management on April 1 amid criticism from some health advocacy groups that said the state had not communicated with Medicaid recipients enough about the transition. State officials say the communication issue has been resolved and that there’s staff available to respond to any ongoing questions and concerns.

Gov. Terry Branstad has said the new system will save the state money and offer better care. He has been vague about what type of additional state oversight he would support.

Branstad spokesman Ben Hammes said Thursday that the governor looks forward to working with lawmakers “to build consensus on the appropriate level of oversight.”

USDA seeks proposals for regional conservation partnership program DES MOINES – United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) recently announced the availability of up to $260 million nationwide for partner proposals to improve the nation’s water quality, combat drought, enhance soil health, support wildlife habitat and protect agricultural viability.

USDA is now accepting proposals for fiscal year 2017 Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) funding. Pre-proposals are due May 10.

Through the RCPP, applicants must be able to match the federal award

with private or local funds.

One of Iowa’s 2016 high-impact projects announced in February, the Midwest Agriculture Water Quality Partnership is one of the largest RCPP projects in the country with 40 partners. It far exceeds the NRCS $9.5 million award by contributing $38 million to build an innovative public-private collaboration aimed at reducing nutrient loss and improving water quality, soil health and habitat for at-risk species.

Created by the 2014 Farm Bill, RCPP investments of nearly $600 million have already driven 199 partner-led projects, including eight projects

in Iowa in the past two years. The program leverages local leadership to establish partnerships that can include private companies, local and tribal governments, universities, non-profits and other non-government partners to work with farmers and forest landowners on landscape- and watershed-scale conservation solutions that work best for their region.

This will be the third round of funding through RCPP, helping USDA build on record enrollment in all voluntary conservation programs, with more than 500,000 producers participating to protect land

and water on more than 400 million acres nationwide.

“We recognize the growing interest in leveraging private capital markets to foster impact investments in conservation, sustainable agriculture and forestry,” said Kurt Simon, NRCS state conservationist in Iowa. “For this new round, we hope to see even more applications that support the development of environmental markets and conservation finance projects.”

For more information about RCPP, visit www. nrcs.usda.gov. To apply, go to www.grants.gov/ custom/viewOppDetails. jsp?oppId=282185.

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented Tuesday on the Iowa crops and weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“Some farmers have been able to get a start on spring field work, but it is quite limited due to the wet conditions.

We are probably still a week or two away from widespread planting and will need some warm, dry weather before famers are able to get start- Northey ed statewide,” Northey said. “It is an exciting time on the farm as farmers are looking forward to the new growing season.”

one-third of Iowa, as well as the southeast corner, had less than 2.0 days suitable for fieldwork. Producers continued to apply dry fertilizer, manure and anhydrous when able.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 1 percent short, 81 percent adequate and 18 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 1 percent short, 86 percent adequate and 13 percent surplus. Northwest Iowa reported the highest surplus subsoil moisture level at 26 percent, with standing water in some low areas.

Thirteen percent of oats have been planted, equal to last year’s progress, but 3 days behind the 5-year average.

Pasture condition rated 1 percent very poor, 6 percent poor, 38 percent fair, 49 percent good and 6 percent excellent. Pastures were starting to green but reporters haven’t seen much growth yet. Livestock conditions were described as normal for the week.

20s and low 30s on Monday, March 28, morning with lowest readings down to 20 degrees at Audubon, Chariton and Grinnell.

Tuesday, March 29, was warmer with showers and thunderstorms moving into northwest Iowa during the afternoon.

Rain and cloud cover kept northern Iowa cool and damp on Wednesday, March 30, while temperatures climbed into the 70s over the south where thunderstorm activity was more scattered. Some large hail was reported from a few areas in west central and central Iowa on Wednesday evening as colder air moved into the area.

Thursday, March 31, was seasonably cool with light to moderate rain statewide. Mostly cloudy skies, with some light rain, kept highs only in the 40s over most Iowa on Friday, April 1. Saturday, April 2, was sunny, cold and very windy. High temperatures

Saturday were only in the upper 30s over northern areas while winds gusted to over 50 mph across the state with a top wind gust of 60 mph recorded at the Ottumwa Airport.

Sunday, April 3, began cold with temperatures as low as 21 degrees at Britt.

However, strong southerly winds gusting over 40 mph brought much warmer air into the state during the day on Sunday with temperatures soaring 40 to 50 degrees above the morning lows by the afternoon. Little Sioux reported the state’s highest temperature at 85 degrees with all of Iowa reaching at least the mid-70s. Much colder air began filtering into the state later Sunday with a few isolated thunderstorms during the evening with a wind gust of 70 mph at the Iowa City Airport.

Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged 3.3 degrees above normal, slightly cooler in the east and warmer in the west.

Weekly precipitation totals varied from only 0.02 inches near New Market in Taylor County to 1.66 inches near Badger in Webster County. The statewide average precipitation was 0.68 inches, or just slightly greater than the weekly normal of 0.62 inches. Soil temperatures at the fourinch depth were averaging in the low 40s northeast to upper 40s southwest as of Sunday, April 3.

A picture of theft Dear Heloise: Everyone should be aware that it’s important that if you are paying by check, credit or debit card, to guard against someone SNAPPING A PICTURE of your check or card.

While writing a check, I cover my account number. If I pay by credit or debit card, I cover the front on the card until I am ready to use it. I then quickly return the card to my wallet. — Judy in New Braunfels, Texas Judy, who would have “thunk it,” but here we are with the possibility of personal information being stolen by a camera phone. Can’t be too careful these days, and while you’re at it, password-protect your cellphone. Thanks for the hints. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise. com BOX IT, SHIP IT Dear Heloise: Since airlines charge for extra baggage, when I travel and plan to stay for an extended visit, I’ll box my clothes and shoes and send it to the people I’m visiting.

Hints from Heloise

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

nylon thread and a large needle.

Cut three 6-inch-by-72-inch strips of nylon net and lay them on top of each other.

Using a long basting stitch, sew them together down the middle.

Once at the end, hold the thread and pull the netting so that it bunches up. Wrap the thread around the center of the bunch and tie a tight knot.

Trim the thread ends.

Separate the layers of netting so they make the shape of a ball. — Heloise P.S.: You are right, they are very nice gifts — make one for yourself!

CONDIMENTS Dear Heloise: Did you know that if you have extra condiments on your table at a restaurant and leave them BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker behind for other patrons, the workers just throw them away? So here’s what I do: I take all extra condiments home and store them properly. Then when we go on a picnic or beach outing, we take them along. They take up less space in our food basket than whole jars of ketchup and mustard, shakers, etc. — Darla R., via email

Shipping services let me pay, insure and schedule a time for them to pick up my boxes. It’s convenient, and I don’t have to wait at baggage claim and then lug it around the airport.

— Teresa G., Tyler, Texas HOMEMADE SCRUBBIES Dear Heloise: My husband’s grandmother used to make us kitchen scrubbies every year for Christmas, and they were the best. She has passed, and I wanted to make them for my 11 sisters-in-law. I cut out the instructions to make them, bought the net and then promptly lost the instructions.

Could you please print them again? I guess I’ll make them for next Christmas. Thank you. — Connie E., Springfield, Mo. Of course I can reprint it.

This is a great hint from my mother, the original Heloise (1919-1977), who started this column. To make the quick version, you will need 1/2 yard of nylon net (the 72-inch-wide (c)2016 by King Features kind), dental floss or strong Syndicate Inc.

by Dean Young

Horoscope Saturday, April 9, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) For some reason, today you will act in a way that is out of the ordinary from your everyday routine. This day is full of lively surprises!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You feel restless today. You have that feeling that you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. Don’t worry; it’s invariably ugly and not in your size.

Just relax. (A lot of people feel this way today.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A friend might surprise you by doing something unorthodox or avant-garde. Or perhaps you will meet someone today who is unusual, bohemian and different. It’s an interesting day!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) In conversations with bosses, parents and VIPs, you might be surprised by something they say or do. Whatever happens might liberate you from something that restricts you.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Travel plans will be interrupted, changed or canceled today.

Alternatively, if you didn’t expect to go anywhere, you suddenly might have to travel!

Go figure.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Check your bank account and assets, because something unusual could affect shared property, debt, inheritances and insurance matters. Make sure you’re in the loop.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) People are impulsive today, which is why it’s hard to predict the behavior of others.

Avoid disputes, because why bother? Someone you know might act weird.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your work routine will be interrupted by computer crashes, canceled meetings, power outages, lost paperwork, broken equipment or something.

On the other hand, something fresh, new and exciting might occur.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is an accident-prone day for your kids or children you work with, so be vigilant. Meanwhile, social plans might be canceled. On the other hand, a surprise invitation might come your way!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your home routine will be interrupted because of small appliances breaking down or

other unexpected events. Just be prepared for this. (At least get dressed.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an accident-prone day for you, because you are more emotional than usual and highly excitable. You might know the reason why, or you might not. Just take it easy.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might find money today, or you might lose money. Ditto for your possessions. Guard what you own against loss or theft.

YOU BORN TODAY You are a doer. You are clever about taking new concepts and ideas into a concrete reality. You also are persuasive! This year is one of growth and building. Initially, this growth will take place beneath the surface, but it will begin. Next year will bring major changes. You can strengthen your financial position if you reduce your overhead now. Build for your future! (c) 2016 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Connie Bailey will host cards and chatter Wednesday, April 13.

National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, Nancy McKay Harsh Chapter

Those present were Bahniuk, Jane Briley, Cynthia Barbour, Bonnie Riepe, Marj Kinkade, Pam Marvin, Jerilyn Johnson, Cheryl Powell, Natalee Anderson, Suzanne Atkinson, Connie Kinkade, Florence Lawhead and Dorothy Hughes. The roll call topic this month was “your fa-

vorite Swedish item.”

This month our program was given by Briley of Creston. She shared with us her Swedish heritage and where in the local Stanton area we could go experience the traditions from Christmas (St. Lucia) to mid-summer (midsommar). She explained to us how the female of the family would be more likely to pass down the traditions.

She offered a sampling of Swedish treats for us to sample.

Members shared the opening ritual, followed by the presentation of the president general’s message by Bahniuk. The national defense moment was presented by Barbour of Van Meter.

Minutes from the December 2015 meeting were approved unanimously. The treasurer’s monthly report was presented by Riepe of Afton. She also presented the state yearly budget report. Two new bills were presented for payment. All were approved and paid.

Committee reports were presented. American Indian moment, focusing on the environment and preservation of land, was given by Marvin of Chariton.

Commemorative events presented by Connie of Creston told of the 250th anniversary of the Stamp Act. This was the first in a series of acts to meet great resistance since the colonies had no representation in Parliament.

The conservation moment, presented by Barbour, reminded us to use energy efficient bulbs and turn lights off every time you leave a room. The constitution moment, presented by Bahniuk, told of the founding fathers and their many continuing contributions beyond the forming

this nation. They were, among other things, presidents, judges and diplomats.

The sunshine moment was presented by Marj of Creston. We heard about the greeting cards she sent for January and February birthdays, get-well cards to Hazel Braby and Bunny Turner, and also a sympathy card to Tracy Mavis’ family. The chapter history moment was presented by Marj and reminded us of the chapter past of giving awards to teachers and students for being good keepers of American history, and the national award we have given to Ray “Bubba” Sorenson. Suggestions were asked for encouraging more applications and recipients for our awards.

The Vietnam history moment was presented by Connie. We discussed the official Vietnam Veteran’s Day on March 29 that honors all men and women who served in the armed forces between November 1955 and May 1975. Nine million Americans served during that period. March 29 was chosen as the date because this was when the last American left Vietnam in 1973.

In old business, Bahniuk updated us on the increased adding of volunteer hours to celebrate America and encouraged us to keep growing.

In new business, we unanimously voted to accept our prospective new members to visit. Also, the new officers for the next year have been nominated and were unanimously accepted.

Chaplain Connie offered a brief memorial for our lost chapter members followed by the closing

prayer. The meeting was April 25 with a program by Lynn Schlaht. adjourned at 11 p.m.

Creston Ladies Literary Circle met on April 1 at the home of Connie Rhine.

President Linda Hartsock called the meeting to order.

Members answered roll call and minutes of the previous meeting were approved as read by Jean E. Mark, secretary. The treasurer’s report was given by Dyan Hoffman.

Hartsock reported that Library Director David Hargrove has offered to speak to Ladies Literary April 29 about the library renovations at the spring luncheon. She also noted that the ‘all reads’ book for October 2016, “Dimestore: A Writer’s Life,” by Lee Smith, can be obtained through the Gibson Memorial Library. It can be ordered through the traveling library feature for $2 and if you are interested, contact them in August.

Stephani Finley announced the main speaker for the spring luncheon will be local author, Judy Johnson, who wrote the book “Crazy Jake’s Treasures.”

Finley, representing the program committee, introduced Midge Scurlock who reviewed “The Freedom Writers Diary,” by Erin Gruwell.

Scurlock started her program by pointing out this is a book that every educator should read. It will inspire and no doubt change the attitude of those whose job it is to teach our children. The main theme of the book is how a teacher and 150 teenaged students used writing to change themselves and the world around them.

Erin Gruwell, a first year teacher at Wilson High School in Long Beach, California, confronted a classroom of “unteachable, at risk” students. Gruwell decided to make tolerance the core of her curriculum. Her fellow teachers, and even the students themselves, at first declared her policies just would not be effective.

Some had given up hope on these students but she had conviction in her beliefs and went forward with her methods to teach them as if they did count and could make a difference. She introduced her students to a whole new world, opening up endless possibilities for their lives. They studied the Holocaust and read “The Diary of Anne Frank,” unknown parts of history to these teenagers. Field trips included museums, art galleries, movies and seminars. As a group, they even traveled to Washington, D.C. Her innovative teaching methods and faith in her own ability to connect with these “difficult” students definitely changed them and the way they saw the world and themselves

in it. These students successfully graduated from high school and college to go on to realize their potential. The book is a collection of writings from the students themselves.

And after the inspiring book review, we were treated to the most delicious desserts, candy, cookies, sugared nuts, coffee and pomegranate tea.

The next meeting will be April 15 at Connie Purdum’s with Judy Gile reviewing “The Horse Soldiers,” by Doug Stanton.

THE NUMBERS GAME

2

The Golden State Warriors joined the 1996-97 Chicago Bulls as the only 2 NBA teams to win 70 games in a season.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Scholarship IOWA CITY — Iowa walk-oNicholas Baer has been awarded a scholarship by coach Fran McCaffery.

Baer, who redshirted in 2014-15, was the most surprising player on Iowa’s roster. He broke through a deep class of fellow freshmen, all of whom were on scholarship, and averaged nearly five points a game. Baer scored 15 points in the Hawkeyes’ last game, an 87-68 NCAA Tournament loss to eventual national champion Villanova.

Baer will take up one of the scholarships freed up when Andrew Fleming and Brandon Hutton decided to leave the program after the season.

Baer’s role should be expanded next season, as Iowa loses four seniors starters.

Warriors rebound OAKLAND, Calif.

(AP) — Stephen Curry scored 27 points and the Golden State Warriors became the second team to win 70 games in a season by beating the San Antonio Spurs 112-101 on Thursday night, wrapping up home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.

The Warriors (70-9) bounced back from their second loss in three home games two nights earlier against Minnesota and joined the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls as the only teams to win 70 games. Golden State can break Chicago’s single-season record of 72 wins by sweeping the final three games, including a rematch in San Antonio on Sunday.

Harrison Barnes scored 21 points and Draymond Green added 18 to help the Warriors avoid losing back-to-back games for the first time this season.

Golden State has outscored the opposition by 14.6 points per game following its nine losses.

Kawhi Leonard scored 23 points for the Spurs, who will enter the playoffs next weekend as the second seed in the West.

San Antonio has been outscored by 41 points in two losses at Golden State this season and will have to open on the road if these teams meet again in the conference finals.

Panthers close Lady Tiger Relays with fireworks

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — The Creston girls track team pulled off a feat here Thursday it hasn’t done since Clay Arnold took over as head coach six years ago.

The Panthers ended Thursday’s Lady Tiger Relays with victories in the 4x100 and 4x400 relays —

the first time they’ve accomplished that with Arnold as head coach.

“Saw a lot of good things and nothing makes me happier than ending the way we did,” Arnold said. “This is only the third time we’ve won the 4x1 at a meet in the time we’ve been coaching.

First time we’ve won the 4x1 and 4x4 to close out a meet, which was very exciting.”

Creston finished second in the Class AA team standings with 148 points, behind champion Glenwood with 177 points.

Southwest Valley finished fifth with 47 points.

In Class A, Lenox took sixth with 44 points.

Relay wins

The Panthers didn’t run their fastest time of the year in the 4x100, with wind gusts up to 30 miles

per hour.

Still, Arnold was impressed with how his quartet of Rachel Shepherd, Stephanie Hemsworth, Josie Sickels and Amber Castillo ran.

Creston ran 56.11 to finish ahead of Glenwood (56.35), Shenandoah (56.57), Clarinda (56.90) and Southwest Valley (56.90) in a tight race.

“Shep got us out to a re-

ally good start. Josie’s just been lights out. She’s running four relays a n i g h t .

She’s just done a great job in every single one of them,” Jo. Sickels Arnold RELAYS | 3S

Gross sets record in 11-1 Valley rout

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

Senior Hailey Gross is developing a knack for hitting game-ending goals while setting records for the Nodaway Valley/West Central Valley/ Adair-Casey program.

Gross hit a school-record six goals — breaking the previous record of five in one match — as the 12th-ranked Valley girls beat Creston here Thursday, 11-1.

Gross hit her sixth goal from close range on the right side with 1:48 left in the match to end it on the 10goal mercy Gross rule.

Gross scored three goals and added two assists as Valley took a 6-1 halftime lead. She hit two more in the opening five minutes of the second half, including a nice crossing pass by Emily O’Brien on the second one.

His two biggest rivals were left behind because they couldn’t.

Spieth capped off the only bogey-free round in the wicked wind at Augusta National by making a 15-foot par putt on the 16th hole and hitting an 8-iron into 6 feet for birdie on the final hole for a 6-under 66 and a two-shot lead, the first step in his bid to win another green jacket.

STUART — It took more than 70 minutes of battling the West Central Valley team and fierce north winds, but the Creston boys finally broke through for a 1-0 soccer victory Thursday night.

Evan Jacobson assisted Gavin Woods for the only goal of the match with about five minutes left on a cold, windy evening on the West Cen- Woods tral Valley turf.

“We were pretty excited to get the win,” said Creston coach Lucian Diaconu.

“We expected to get a tough game. We were playing against the wind in the second half and scored late.

Kelby Luther had a good game supporting our play from the midfield, too. They were only able to get about 10 or 11 shots. It was hard for them to penetrate close enough to get shots on goal.

Payton is gaining more confidence in goal for us.”

drove it to the box, and got the ball to Gavin about 5 or 6 yards in front of the goal.”

The Panther coach said it was a hard-fought defensive match as the Panthers got through a rugged opening week with a 2-1 record.

“They played good defense in the first half and even though we were playing with the wind, we could not penetrate that defense,” Diaconu said. “They kept numbers back against us. In the second half, we adjusted ourselves and played more wide. Our physical condition showed up at the end of the game and we had a couple of breakthroughs with scoring opportunities. We weren’t able to put it in on those, but finally we got one.”

The defense was stellar throughout, including a shutout by goalkeeper Payton Pryor with seven saves.

“Jacob Goodson had a good game for us,” Diaconu

said. “We had two burners on the back end. Steph ran a 13.34 on the third leg and looked like she was running 11-flat. Amber just absolutely turned it loose and ran a 12.62 anchor.”

The Panthers followed up the 4x100 victory by running away with the win in the 4x400 relay with “(Taylor) Briley and her band of freshmen,” Arnold said.

Saige Rice led off and handed off to Brielle Baker, who had only run the 3,000 meters earlier in the meet.

Jesse Vicker anchored the Panthers to their best time of the year in 4:28.61, finishing 5 seconds ahead of runner-up Vicker Glenwood.

“Put (Baker) in the second spot because she’s a great competitor. Best split we’ve had anybody run this year. Just took out of there flying,” Arnold said. “Briley struggled this week. We talked to her and she knew what she had to do. We knew Glenwood would be anchoring (Molly) Dean and Briley would have to extend the

GOLF:

Briley won the 400 meter dash in 1:05.63, while junior Hannah Hood won the shot put with her throw of Briley 39-0.

Hood and sophomore Faith Wilson each placed in both throwing events, which was critical for the Panthers.

Hood totaled 18 points in the throws, finishing second in the discus. Wilson took fourth in the shot put at 31-1 Hood and fourth in the discus with a PR of 94-11.

“That’s exactly what we need,” Arnold said. “We’re really struggling in the jumps to score points. We need those throwers to come through and we need to double up.”

Amber Castillo took second in a season’s best time of 16.81 in the 100 meter

Outdoor news Boater reminder

Anglers and boaters are reminded to make sure to pull the drain plug as a boat leaves a ramp to avoid spreading unwanted plants or animals to other water bodies.

The regulation, that went into effect on July 1, 2013, requires drain plugs and other water draining devices must be removed and/or remain open during transport. If you want to keep live bait when leaving a water access, you must replace water in bait containers with tap or bottle water.

Anglers leaving with fish are recommended to put them on ice, whether in a cooler, a bucket or a live well (plug must still be removed and/or opened).

“This regulation will help us avoid spreading invasive species from one body of water to another; through residual water inside your boat or vegetation which remains attached to your boat, motor or trailer,” said Joe Larscheid, chief of Fisheries for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

Invasive species could range from vegetation such as Eurasian watermilfoil or brittle naiad to water dwelling animals such as zebra mussels-or even minnows purchased

elsewhere. Once introduced into another water body, the unwanted species can spread throughout, often with few or no natural predators or vegetation to control the spread.

That crowds out native species; disrupting the ecology of the lake or stream…as well as fishing and other recreation.

Is it worth the extra few seconds to pull a drain plug or clean that aquatic plant trailing from your boat motor? It can cost a couple million of your license dollars…and three or four years of your fishing recreation to draw down a lake, kill out the invasive species,

renovate it, restock it and wait for fish to grow back to catchable size.

Boat registrations

2016 is a boat registration year and Iowans will be registering about 235,000 boats before April 30.

Boat registrations are handled by Iowa’s county recorders. Boat owners should bring their current registration to recorder’s office in the county where the individual resides when they renew.

Nonresidents who register their boat in Iowa will go to the county where the boat is primarily used.

hurdles, while Rachel Shepherd and Danielle Castillo finished fifth and sixth in the 400 meter hurdles.

Hemsworth took second in the 200 meter dash with an impressive 27.88 time in the windy conditions.

“Ran a Hemsworth heck of a race,” Arnold said. “Ran a 27.88 and was just flying. It was really fun to watch. The (Cynthia) Best girl from Clarinda just edged her at the finish line.”

Baker took third in her first ever 3,000-meter race, running 12:22.93.

“Really proud of a lot of those girls,” Arnold said.

“Our freshman class has had two good meets this week now, which we needed to have. We need to pick up some more of these girls and get them going. Hopefully we’re ready to fire on all cylinders next week.”

Creston hosts the Lady Panther Relays at 5 p.m.

Monday.

“We’re going to put together a lineup to win as many events and score as many points as we can,” Arnold said. “Shen, they have some good girls over there. Atlantic has Tiffany Williams and Clarinda has a couple solid girls. We’re going to try to put on a good show.”

Southwest Valley’s Elizabeth Herzberg finished third in the 400 meter hurdles in 1:14.86. The Timberwolves also got thirdplace finishes from Morgan

Logan Jensen added two goals for Valley, which was coming off a double-overtime 4-3 win over Missouri Valley Tuesday when Gross hit the game-winner with 3:43 left in the second overtime period.

O’Brien, Abby Miller and Josi Ocheltree also scored for Valley.

“This was a cold and very windy game and the girls did a good job as a team in fighting through the wind,” Valley coach Michael Krawczyk said. “We did a better job of talking and using our outside midfielders to move the ball down the field. Our defense played well. It was a good team win.”

Freshman Taylor Buxton scored her first varsity goal for Creston with 20:48 left in the first half.

She hit a shot from Buxton the middle after taking an assist pass from Maddie Travis.

“Our goal was to possess the ball batter and pass it to someone with a purpose,” Creston coach Kim Lauffer said. “Maddie popped it through the defensive line, Taylor got it and ripped a hard shot into the corner of the net. Tonight we lacked some accurate passing and got caught out of position

8-1 scores.

Two of the three doubles teams also prevailed by an 8-1 count, while the score at No. 2 doubles was 8-2.

Creston/O-M also outscored Atlantic 18-1 combined in three total JV matches.

“This was a great season opener for the team,” said Creston/O-M assistant coach Amanda Plymale.

“We always have some first-meet nerves, but we had solid play across the board tonight. Our JV was short tonight, but first-timer Megan Haley got her first two wins! I am very excited for this season. We have a tough one next week early in the season with Ballard, but we are glad to see them before we have an elimination (regional) round.”

In boys competition, Ryan Kucera, Jacob Cook, J a d e n D r i s kell and Dustin M e r ritt won singles matches to give Kucera the Panthers a 4-2 lead entering doubles play.

Creston/O-M’s first two doubles teams won their matches to sew up the meet victory.

“Today was a great way for us to start our boys season,” said Panther head coach Kevin Cooper. “We had some unknowns and a few changes, so it was nice to see some of those changes benefit us. The conditions were terrible for all the kids, but they all battled through it. It was nice to get the dual in and get the win, and it was also nice

at times, but that play was well-executed.”

First-year player Leah Schuler compiled nine saves after subbing for starting goalkeeper Abbie Cook with 11:20 left in the first half.

The score was 3-1 at the time and Cook already had seven saves when she was injured and left the facility for medical examination.

“Abbie stopped the ball, but didn’t have control of it and turned around to grab it,” Lauffer said. “Their forward was aggressive, which is what you want her to be in that situation. But Abbie got kicked under the chin fairly hard in the process of the scuffle for the ball, and said she couldn’t see anything.”

Schuler came in and had several quick-reaction saves in the second half, including one on a penalty kick by Gross.

“Leah had impressed us on Tuesday,” Lauffer said.

“She’s fast on her feet and aggressive and stopped some hard shots. As she learns more about diving for the ball and knowing when to come out and be aggressive, she will continue to improve.”

Lauffer said the toll of playing a third match in four days, in brutal weather conditions — 48 degrees at opening kick with 30 mph northwest wind gusts — was evident as the match transpired. It was Valley’s second match of the young season.

“This is the first time in a long time they have been able to mercy rule us,” Lauffer said. “Recently it’s

to get out there and compete and just see what we need to work on. We will keep working to hopefully keep improving throughout the year.”

The boys host Southwest Valley on Monday. The girls host annual regional nemesis Ballard on Friday in what could be a preview of another regional matchup.
