ON THE ROOF

GOP lawmaker cautions health care bill is Obamacare ‘tweak’

Driskell spends night on roof of elementary school ■

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

A friendly rivalry left Scott Driskell, thirdthrough fifth-grade principal at Creston Community Elementary School, sleeping on the roof of the school Thursday night.

Driskell spent the entire night above the entrance to Creston Community Elementary School with a lawn chair, lamp and tent.

“This is our tent. It’s a two-person tent we’ve had for 100 years and I think somebody slept in it maybe once, so this is the second time,” Driskell said. “Then, we have an air mattress. I

thought, ‘It will work and keep me somew h a t w a r m with a sleeping Driskell bag and a couple of blankets.’ It was all right. I slept fairly decent. It’s pretty peaceful out here.”

Driskell was greeted this morning by elementary students arriving at the school and shouting up to him.

“They were really excited. You should have seen the line of traffic through here last night driving by, watching him set up the tent,” said Callie Anderson, kindergarten through second-grade principal. “Then he had visitors walk up here and wish him well. I went

through all the classrooms last night and reminded them he would be up here so it would generate some excitement this morning when they came in.”

Each year, the PTO organizes a fundraiser with Box Tops for Education. This year, it was turned into a competition between Driskell’s group and Anderson’s group.

“In years past, we’ve done different things, where if they raise a certain amount of money, we’ll kiss a goat or take a pie in the face,” Driskell said. “Kindergarten through second grade won. So, the deal was the loser had to spend the night on the school.”

Anderson said she used all of her resources to beat Driskell in the contest, reaching out to as many people as she could to find

box tops. She also utilized social media to promote the fundraiser and garner more box tops.

“I was just tapping any resource I could so we would win,” she said. “I knew he wasn’t.

So, I knew I was tipping the scales in my favor, but it’s Anderson raising money for the school, so I didn’t feel guilty about it.”

Money raised from the fundraiser went toward funding field trips for the students.

Driskell got his own mini field trip out of the deal.

accept a bill they say did not undo enough of the 2010 law. And in so doing, Blum and others are understating the impact of the bill that, if enacted, could drop millions from their insurance by next year.

“Only about 10 percent of Obamacare was changed with this bill that we passed in the House, only 10 percent,” Blum told about 200 people at a community college in central Iowa on Thursday. “When we leave 90 percent of the language in the bill, I would not call that personally a repeal.”

MARSHALLTOWN (AP) — After campaigning on repealing the health care law and voting to gut it, an Iowa Republican is cautioning constituents fearful of losing coverage that the House GOP replacement is just “a tweak of Obamacare” that would have gone further had he had his way.

Two-term Rep. Rod Blum, who represents a swing district that includes Dubuque and Cedar Rapids, is among the conservative House Republicans who campaigned angrily against then-President Barack Obama’s signature health law for two years, only to

HEALTH:

DEATHS Mardelle Harris Atlantic

Mardelle M. Harris, 85, of Atlantic passed away Tuesday, May 9, 2017, at Panora Nursing and Rehab in Panora.

Mardelle Mae Steffens was born June 16, 1931, on the family farm west of W i o ta, the daughter of Ernest Harris and Mae (Templeman) Steffens. She graduated from Wiota High School in 1949. Following graduation, she worked for one year as a secretary in the superintendent’s office for Wiota School District, and then went on to receive nurse’s training at Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs.

Throughout her nursing career, she worked as a Registered Nurse for the Atlantic Hospital, Anita Nursing Home, Clarkson Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska, and Mount Airy Psychiatric Center in Denver, Colorado. When Mardelle returned to Iowa, she lived in Creston and worked for Greater Community Hospital on and off from 1983 to 2003.

Mardelle loved to travel, and wouldn’t hesitate to load the kids up in the car and drive them across country. In recent years, she enjoyed trips to Colorado and Missouri, and it was always a dream to visit Africa. She loved her flowers, and delighted in planting her roses and marigolds. In her quieter moments, she read, knitted, quilted and watched the birds. Mardelle was an avid sports fan cheering for the Chicago Cubs, Denver Broncos, Iowa Hawkeyes and Nebraska Cornhuskers. She was so excited the year she got season tickets for the Broncos. Mardelle definitely knew her way around the kitchen when it came to baking and can-

ning. Her family’s mouths watered when they knew she was whipping up a batch of baked apples, scalloped corn or homemade ice cream. During the holidays, she made endless batches of Christmas candy which included heath toffee and cherry mash bars. This may sound a bit strange to some, but her family all know there are a lot of things that you can put on a peanut butter sandwich; one of Mardelle’s favorites was peanut butter and pickles.

Family was dear to Mardelle’s heart and she will be deeply missed by her sister, Betty Pettinger of Aurora, Colorado; children, Corrine (Rick) Burk of Hallsville, Missouri, David (Twila) Harris of Marne, Julie McKenny of Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Tom Harris of Pleasant Hill; grandchildren, Amanda Gerling, Nathan (Michelle) Burk, Alex Burk, Jackie (Brian) Andis, David (Tammy) Harris, Zachary (Amber) Helms, Jacob Harris, Natalie Harris, Haley Harris, Brittany (Joel) Smith, Michaela Morgan, Ryan McKenny, Sarah (James) Young, Laura (Josh) Newhouse, Adam Harris and Lisa (Jerod) VanGenderen; 23 great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews and friends.

UI musicians to play at Warren Center

A week ago, the House narrowly approved a bill that would cut the Medicaid program for low-income people, eliminate the fines for people who don’t buy insurance, cut taxes for wealthy Americans and provide generally skimpier subsidies for many who need help to buy insurance.

The bill also would allow insurers to charge seriously ill customers higher rates if they let their coverage lapse.

Congressional analysts estimate that 24 million more Americans would be uninsured by 2026, including 14 million by next year.

“I don’t see how he can say this won’t affect people on Medicaid,” Mike Poe, a 62-year-old Marshalltown farmer, said after the Blum event. “People like me, not yet eligible for Medicare, are the ones who are vulnerable.”

President Donald Trump and dozens of House Republicans celebrated the bill’s passage in a Rose Garden ceremony. Back home in their congressional districts, many of those Republicans have had to explain their vote.

Blum, a businessman, former high school basketball coach and onetime real estate developer, won his seat in the Republican wave of 2014 on the promise of repeal.

“Quite frankly, this bill is a tweak of Obamacare,” Blum said Tuesday in Dubuque before the first of four meetings across his district, which spans central Iowa to the Mississippi River.

Blum insisted people would not lose Medicaid coverage, if they don’t let their coverage lapse. “If you’re on Medicaid, nothing’s going to change,” he told the audience in Marshalltown, which broke into a chorus of loud objections.

However, some people typically enter and leave Medicaid coverage due to temporary employment, making the change in the bill potentially harmful to people who change jobs frequently.

Blum was among the roughly 30 conservative House Freedom Caucus members responsible for scuttling the earlier version of the bill. He said he grudgingly supported the revised measure because it allows states to opt not to abide by the Obama law’s require“Friends ment on essential benefits You Can and coverage for those Depend On” with pre-existing condi-

tions. Even that was a hard choice to make, he said.

“You can’t get what you want all the time,” Blum told the group in Marshalltown. “So in the end I compromised.”

It was an unusual statement from a member of the typically unyielding Freedom Caucus. Blum, on the first day of his term, was one of 25 Republicans in January 2015 who refused to back the more pragmatic John Boehner for House speaker. Months later, in September, the Freedom Caucus hastened Boehner’s departure.

While the Senate works on its version of the health care bill, the House measure continues to face strong public opposition, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.

The poll found that only 21 percent of voters approve of the House-passed bill, while 56 percent disapprove.

With the exception of Republicans, majorities of people disapproved across demographic groups. That included 81 percent of Democrats and 60 percent of independents, 54 percent of men and 58 percent of women.

“There’s a moral obligation to protect people’s health. I just think he sees it only in terms of money,” 65-year-old retired teacher Anne Michael of nearby Tama said after the Blum event.

Blum also cast doubt on a consensus bill emerging from the Senate, where Republicans hold a narrower majority than in the House, and have tea party conservatives Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, along with moderate Susan Collins.

“Getting something done this year for Iowans I think is going to be a heavy lift,” Blum later told The Associated Press.

A fellow Iowa Republican, Sen. Chuck Grassley, said Senate Republicans were not “going to go through the public relations problems that the House of representatives had for a month.”

Speaking during a taping for C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” program, Grassley was referring to House GOP leadership’s call for a vote in April when there weren’t enough votes to pass the original bill, and members complained they hadn’t had time to review it.

HOROSCOPE For Saturday, May 13, 2017 ARIES(March 21 to April 19)Double-check travel plans, because they could suddenly change today. You also might meet someone who is from another culture.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Make sure you know what’s happening with inheritances and shared property today, because something unexpected might occur.

Don’t be caught off guard.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Someone close to you might surprise you today. Whatever it is might bring greater freedom to you in some way.

YOU BORN TODAY You are capable of great originality, which you can put to use because you are ambitious and hard-working. Your warmth

and caring makes others like you. A new nine-year cycle will begin for you this year. It will open up many possibilities!

You might start a new business activity or change residences.

Open any door, because your future is in your hands.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I recently returned from my honeymoon and wanted to get my WEDDING DRESS dry-cleaned and prepared for storage in the hope that one day I might have a daughter who’d want to wear it. After doing some research, I learned some very important things about preserving a wedding dress: * Only use a dry cleaner that specializes in wedding gowns. They’re usually more expensive, but compared with what you paid for the dress, it’s well worth the expense. * Store in a pH-neutral, opaque, breathable cloth bag, in the darkest place possible (not an attic, and not a basement). * Make sure the dress is hung by the hanger straps sewn inside the dress. * Never use a plastic bag, and never fold or crease the dress. * If the dress is to be boxed, use acid-free tissue to stuff the dress and keep its form. All of the above apply to boxed dresses, too. – Melissa T., Santa Rosa, Calif.

FRIDAY FUN FACTS Dear Readers: * It’s believed that Shake-

speare invented the word “assassination.” * What was the first product to have its bar code scanned? Chewing gum! * A snail can sleep for up to three years. – Heloise SUGAR BABIES Dear Heloise: My sister and I are debating whether sugar is bad for children.

She believes that giving her young son honey is OK because, in her mind, it’s not real sugar. Any suggestions on what we can use to substitute for sugar or honey? – Etta K., Cicero, Ill. Etta, there are any number of sugar substitutes on the market, but the best thing to do is wean him off sweets. Instead of candy, give him fruit; instead of a soft drink, give a small glass of fruit juice that has no added sugar. Be sure to read the labels on food, because so many processed foods contain added sugars. Since sugar can lead to health problems, it’s better to help this young boy develop healthy eating habits early in life. – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000

SUDOKU

San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise. com FACIAL FUN Dear Heloise: My favorite facial is simple and approved by my dermatologist: I mix one egg white with 1-2 tablespoons of powdered milk, then take a wide artist’s brush and paint my face and throat with this mixture. Afterward, I lie down to relax, about 30 to 45 minutes, and let the facial do its work. The drying egg white tightens the skin, and the powdered milk leaves it smooth and soft.

Makeup just glides over my skin! – Tina W., Bayonne, N.J. TICKET TO STILL RIDE? Dear Heloise: If you miss your flight and discover that you have just enough time to catch another flight out, go to the other airline’s departure gate rather than the ticket counter. The other airline may honor the ticket for the missed flight if it happens to have an empty seat. – Shawna G., Dover, Del. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Area nursing homes celebrate National Nursing Home Week Monday is Patriotic Day at Creston Specialty Care, along with a pizza party and a presentation by the local VFW. Tuesday, children will be visiting Creston Specialty Care to sing songs and read poems to residents.

Wednesday is a Hawaiian luau at Creston Specialty Care.

Also on Wednesday, Creston Specialty Care is hosting social drumming.

“I’m looking forward to the social drumming because I’ve never seen it before,” said Harvey. “They travel around and do it with different groups of elderly and kids. I want to see the reaction of the residents with that. Even the residents will get to play the drums. It’s a stress reliever and kind of a cool thing to do with music.”

Thursday is drive-in movie day at Creston Specialty Care, with Tony Stuart bringing in his antique cars for display. Residents will be able to sit in the cars they used to drive.

Friday is tailgate day.

At Lenox Care Center, residents and staff will be involved in a variety of dress-up days. Lenox Care Center also hosts a community and family barbecue Thursday night.

“They know it’s a time some of the families come in for supper and that kind

of thing,” said Julie Davis, administrator of Lenox Care Center, who said she is particularly excited about the barbecue.

Afton Care Center has “outdoor spirit” Wednesday, where workers will beautify the flower beds and feed bunks, and lunch will be served outside. The week ends Friday with coffee and lifting spirits with story.

“The resident council members have helped to organize some of the events this week and have planned Thursday to be our day to ‘celebrate our

spirit,’” said Kristy Knutson, administrator of Afton Care Center. “This is one of the things our Afton Care Center residents like about National Nursing Home Week – they take part in the activities and active planning.”

CARE COMPASSION QUALITY Why have you remained at Afton Care Center for 27 years?

I’ve always been treated fairly - being a smaller facility, it’s more like an extended family to me.

Why should families consider the Afton Care Center as a place to put loved ones?

It’s a warm, friendly, more home-like facility.

The staff really care about the residents, good food, activities. I wouldn’t hesitate to put my family member here.

How have you adapted to electronic health records so far?

If I had hair, I’d be pulling it out.

It is getting easier, that’s what I keep telling myself!

National Nursing Home Week was started by the American Health Care Association in 1967.

The week always begins on Mother’s Day and provides an opportunity for residents and their loved ones, staff, volunteers and surrounding communities to recognize the role of skilled nursing care facilities in caring for America’s seniors and individuals with disabilities.

“The importance of the week is that we celebrate the elders we take care of in the community,” said Lori Harvey, administrator of Creston Specialty Care. “Our main goal is to make their lives better and make sure they’re taken care of the best we possibly can.”

Many care facilities in the area are celebrating the week with a host of events scheduled throughout National Nursing Home Week.

Both Creston Specialty Care and Lenox Care Center are hosting Mother’s Day teas for residents and their families. Creston Specialty Care also has music with Leonard Hudson Sunday.

Afton Care Center starts the week with the Mennonite Singers providing entertainment, along with sharing photos of residents’ mothers.

Every skilled nursing care center embodies a unique and vibrant spirit and community of residents, volunteers and staff alike.

Acts of kindness, generosity and compassion from proud veterans, immigrants and hardworking people of different faiths fill the walls of each center. Help us celebrate “The Spirit of America” by stopping in and attending the activities with our special residents during National Nursing Home Week.

BOYS DISTRICT TENNIS

Cook, Driskell rise to the challenge, reach state Team advances to prelim substate Saturday ■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg junior Jacob Cook has been at the state tennis meet the past two years as a spectator.

There he watched former teammate Ryan Kucera compete in the singles portion of the competition.

Now Cook is going to move from the outside of the fence to inside.

He and junior teammate Jaden Driskell advance to the state tennis tournament later this month at Gates Park in Waterloo with a runner-up finish in the Class 1A district meet at Red Oak. “I have always wanted to go to state and (Thursday) it finally happened during our junior year of tennis,” Cook said.

Cook was still stunned at what happened later in the day after the meet.

“It hasn’t really hit that we have made it, but once we get to Waterloo, the feeling of playing there is going to be unreal.”

Those experiences watching Kucera play drove Cook to where he is today.

“When we go to the state tournament, we take the young kids along. They see how cool it is, how much fun it is to compete at that level,” said Creston/Orient-Macks-

burg coach Kevin Cooper.

“Cook went along with Kucera, watched him, hit with him. You can’t replace that experience. He’s wanted to be there. I couldn’t be happier for him.”

Driskell has played tennis for most of his life, but did not participate at a competitive level until high school.

Now, he’s going to state as a junior.

“It’s a great feeling to know all the time I’ve spent has finally paid off,” Driskell said.

Driskell hasn’t been able to make the state trips to Waterloo due to conflicts with baseball.

Driskell can now go to state, and as a participant.

“It will be a great trip for him,” Cooper said. “It’s such a fun place to compete.”

Playing sets was a huge benefit for Cook and Driskell, particularly in the semifinal against Clarke’s Billy Otto and Jon Echeveste.

Cook and Driskell dropped the first set 6-0 in around 20 minutes.

But the two Panther juniors battled back. They won the second set 6-2, then took the third and deciding set 6-4.

“When you play sets, you have a fresh start,” Cooper said. “Playing to 10 and down 6-0, the momentum’s not likely to switch. They moved on to the second set, won 6-4. The kids held tight.”

Cook and Driskell kept cool, even when the situations looked bleak.

Cook and Driskell placed second to advance to the state tournament later this month at Gates Park in Waterloo.

“Our key to the day was definitely staying levelheaded throughout the day,” Driskell said. “No matter if it was going good or bad, just staying calm and looking forward to the next point.”

The jitters did come early in the win or go home format.

“It was nervewracking at first to step out onto the court and realize that you only have one shot and if you lose, you’re done,”

Cook said. “That meant Jaden and I had to be on our toes and be prepared for what came at us.”

Cook and Driskell had to adjust to the pace of the day, which featured long breaks in between matches.

“It was all about being able to flip a switch when it was our turn to play,” Driskell said.

They were able to do that.

PANTHER GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD

“That’s how you finish a meet” Panther girls to send two individuals, three relays (at least) to state ■

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

NORWALK — Creston freshman MaKenna Hudson and Norwalk junior Taylor Vanderholt battled for every bit of the final leg of the 4x400 relay at Thursday’s 3A girls track and field state qualifying meet in Norwalk.

Hudson got the best of her elder counterpart, leaning forward at the finish to secure a state qualifying berth as Creston finished in second place in a time of 4:09.72.

Norwalk’s time: 4:09.74.

“It was pretty intense,” Hudson said. “I didn’t know who won at the end and I’m just glad we were able to pull it off.”

Two-hundredths of a second separated ecstasy and heartbreak, even with the possibility of a potential atlarge bid in the event at the back of the team’s minds.

The Panther girls erupted into cheers when the time flashed across the scoreboard at Norwalk Warriors Stadium.

“That’s exactly how you finish a track meet. Just like that,” Creston coach Clay Arnold said.

The second-place finish capped a night in which Creston secured spots at the state meet in the high jump, shot put, discus, distance medley, 4x800 and the 4x400. It also brought to an end a wonderful evening for Hudson, who set a personal

Creston freshman MaKenna Hudson runs her leg of the 4x800 early on in Thursday’s class 3A state qualifying meet at Norwalk Warriors Stadium. Latham qualified for state in the 4x800, the 4x400 and the distance medley. Yelling encouragement is Panther senior Rachel Shepherd.

record in each of her races, and qualified for state in the 4x800, 4x400 and the distance medley.

Creston’s lone seniors, Rachel Shepherd and Hannah Hood, embraced around their teammates amidst the excitement.

The duo had plenty to celebrate. Both are back at state once more.

Shepherd will compete at state in the 4x800 that consisted of Jesse Vicker, Shepherd, Hudson and Brielle Baker, which ran a season’s best time of 10:06.74, more than eight seconds better than the unit’s previous best. Per coach Clay Arnold, this is the sixth consecutive year the 4x800 has

qualified for state.

Hood will try to medal at state in discus and shot put. Hood won both events and set Creston’s program record in which she flung a throw of 121 feet, 5 inches in the discus.

A slight alteration of Hood’s approach to discus has paid big dividends.

“These last two weeks I’ve been focusing more on not going as fast as I can in the ring but slowing it down and just the last two steps snapping my hips through and it has worked ever since then,” Hood said.

Coach Maggie Arnold noted that five of Hood’s six throws in the competition were better than any throws

she had officially recorded in her life. Arnold had seen Hood excel in practice this past week, and expected a breakout performance.

“Her confidence was really high. That’s not typically an event that she has always excelled in. That one has been a little more difficult for her,” Maggie Arnold said. “This year we’ve really perfected her spin. I knew tonight was going to be a breeze and that sure enough she went out, second throw and got the school record.”

Creston’s distance medley, made up of Cayla Maitlen, Kiersten Latham, Hudson and Baker, was stacked by the Panther coaches, and shaved off nearly 14 sec-

onds from the team’s previous best time. The Panthers ran it in 4:20.92, which represents the seventh straight time the Creston distance medley has made state according to Clay Arnold.

“We decided to go quality over quantity so we backed a lot of people’s events off, they weren’t running full loads tonight and it really paid off,” Maggie Arnold said.

All of the success against a spectacular field of relay teams left Clay Arnold ecstatic at the end of the night.

“I just told them that this is what we’ve been looking for them to do,” Arnold said. “That’s why we’ve been after them all year be-

cause this is what they’re capable of.”

Before any of the running had even started, Breanna Wallace had already made her mark, winning the high jump with a leap of 5-00. Afteward, Wallace stated that her practice personal record was 5-4 and that she expects to do better at state.

Season and personal bests were the norm for the Panthers Thursday. Clay Arnold pointed out Brittany Linch as one such shining example. Linch earned two individual medals and was on two medal-winning relays.

“I was so proud of that girl tonight,” Arnold said.

“She is so tough and so gritty.”

Clay Arnold believes his team has a solid shot at competing at state in the 4x200 thanks to a third-place time of 1:50.68. That information will be released Friday (today).

The state meet at Drake Stadium will be held May 18-20. More details will come in a future edition of the News Advertiser.

Creston’s boys season ends The Panther boys scored in one event, the 4x400, taking seventh place and picked up season’s best times from Camden Peterson, 13.34 and Hank Looney, 13.35 in the 100 meter dash.

Zac Hague was ninth in the discus, Ashton Wills earned 13th in the shot put, and Jared Moreland came in 10th in the 400 meter dash.

“Excellent facilities at Norwalk. Very good competition,” Creston boys coach Pat Schlapia said.

BOYS: PANTHER GIRLS SOCCER Glenwood defense stifles Panthers, 4-1

CONT. FROM | 7A

Schuppan scores hat trick for Rams ■

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

Junior midfielder Nicole Schuppan scored three goals to lead Glenwood to a 4-1 victory over Creston here Thursday.

Schuppan had scored twice and assisted a goal by senior forward Taylor Bardsley as the Rams led 3-0 late in the second half.

The Panthers had difficulty generating any offensive attack until sophomore Grace Root connected on a corner kick in the 77th minute. Schuppan then answered with her third goal 39 seconds later for the final 4-1 margin.

“It helped that Nicky was really on today,” Glenwood coach Amy Benson said.

“That really helped us from the outside. I think the wind threw us off a little and we struggled with our passing to feet. When we passed to feet that’s when we got our goals.”

Coming off a 2-1 win Tuesday over Atlantic, Creston was unable to generate much offense. Root, playing only 10 minutes in the first half, finished with a team-high three shots on goal. No other Panthers had more than one.

Goalkeeper Leah Schuler was busy for Creston with 22 saves, including two leaping catches on high Glenwood shots.

“We were fighting to win balls and playing pretty good defense,” Creston coach Kim Lauffer said.

“But we were having trou-

controlled the play at the net.

“We had a good day of serving both of us,” Cook said.

Added Driskell, “Our net play was very good.”

Cook and Drisekell came in well tested during the regular season.

Those tough matches came up big, particularly in the win against Clarke.

“They’ve been behind a lot, played a lot of good teams,” Cooper said.

“They’ve been in tight situations a lot because they play really good competition. It helps them. When there’s tight situations, they’ve been there before and can do it again.”

Creston/Orient-Macksburg also advanced to Saturday’s substate preliminary meet. As the runner-up, the Panthers will host Clarke at the Southwestern Community College tennis courts.

The Panthers did not pick up any team points in singles.

Where they made up the ground came courtesy of number two doubles.

“Dustin and Triston travels to Earlham Tuesday came out blazing,” Cooper

said of the match against the Mustangs competitors.

“That was the difference us having 12 points and not getting in at all to us ending up with 15 points and hosting a dual this Saturday.”

The Panthers are back in the preliminary substate round once more.

Playing Saturday, no matter what the result turns out to be against a Clarke team that’s lost only one dual this season, has plenty of positive ramifications for the Panthers.

“It’s a good kids experience so next year when we have four or five kids coming back, it’s nothing new to them,” Cooper said. “They know what to expect.”

Creston/Orient-Macksburg and Clarke did not meet in the regular season.

They were scheduled to play on April 28, but the match was rained out.

“We’ll have our hands full with Clarke,” Cooper said. “They have a really good team. It will be a good experience for our team.”

CLASS 1A TRACK AND FIELD

Hot start, strong finish for Mount Ayr girls Raiderettes complete perfect team season ■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

EARLHAM — Starting the meet right has been key all season long for Mount Ayr’s girls track and field team.

The Raiderettes picked up valuable momentum in the first field events of the night, the high jump and the shot put.

They kept that rolling on the track with the sprint medley relay.

Then coach Deb Larsen’s team ended the afternoon and evening the way they started the meet — with a win.

Mount Ayr earned automatic berths in six events to next weekend’s state track

We want to continue to grow from this.”

Sitting with a roster consisting of the lowest number of boys in anyone’s memory for Creston boys track, the season has been about pushing for improvement among the young competitors on the team.

“We’re very proud of having that Creston across our chest,” Schlapia said. “A lot of people have come through and a lot of people are still going to come through.”

The Raiderettes won the meet with 132 points, completing the perfect season.

Earlham was second with 103 points, while East Union was third with 77 points.

Murray was 11th with 21 points, while Diagonal was 12th with 16 points.

“Me personally, I have a lot of motivation as well as all of my teammates to start off the night winning something,” said junior Bailey Anderson, who qualified automatically in three events — the 400, the 4x400 relay and the sprint medly — and has the possibility of a fourth event — the 100 meter dash.”That gave us the confidence to do better in all of our races.”

Anderson teammed up with sophomore Keirston Klommhaus, sophomore Ryann Martin and freshman

Samantha Stewart to win the 4x400 relay in 4 minutes, 18.53 seconds, 11 second faster than Earlham.

Anderson was never tested in running away with the 4x400 relay.

In the sprint medley relay, Anderson picked up the pace to give the group of junior Alyssa Johnson, junior Caylie Hickman and Klommhaus a two-second win over Martensdale-St. Marys.

Klommhaus’ growth has been solid.

“Keirston did a really great job,” Larsen said.

“She’s been pretty steady.

It’s been great to watch her get better.”

her form and technique down.

While she was not quite at her best Thursday, it was more than enough to win the girls shot put. The Raiderettes junior won with a throw of 35-11.25. Teammate Hannah Jackson was second with a throw of 349.5.

“The beginning of the year wasn’t so fun, but I figured it out in the weight room,” Winemiller said.

Winemiller knows she can throw better at state.

“I have high expectations,” she said. “It wasn’t pretty.”

She has plans to work on her technique this week.

“I need to work on my explosion. I need to stay a little lower, push my hips,” Winemiller said.

Mount Ayr and East Union’s girls shuttle hurdle relay team came down the homestretch stride for stride.

East Unions’ Olivia Eckels edged ahead, then Mount Ayr’s Alyssa Johnson came back.

No one knew for sometime who had won the race.

After a wait of several minutes, the Raiders were announced as the winner over the public address system.

A few minutes later, it was Mount Ayr’s crew celebrating with the narrowest of wins.

The Raiderettes finished with a time of 1:10.93, one-hundredth of a second faster than the Eagles 1:10.94.

The Raiderettes started off the season running a 1:14, but have trimmed four seconds.

It will be the second time at state for Megan Warin and Alyssa Johnson.

“We were clear over on the backstretch,” Larsen said. “We thought East Union got us.”

Mount Ayr’s girls track and field team has won everything in sight this season, going a perfect 12-for-12 as a team in meets.

The 13th meet of the season was just as successful for the Raiderettes.

“It was great,” Larsen said. “At the beginning of the year, we won the first couple meets, then we said lets keep it going.

“It’s awesome to get number 13.

Mount Ayr also assured itself state berths in the 400 from Anderson and Mackenzie Shields in the high jump.

The Raiderettes will have to wait to see how runner-up

finishes from Anderson in the 100, Alyssa Johnson in the 100 hurdles, Samantha Stewart in the 400 hurdles, the 4x200 relay and Hannah Jackson in the shot put if they are good enough to advance as at-large berths.

Results will be announced today (Friday.)

For the Mount Ayr boys, the end to the night is one that the members of the 4x400 relay team will long remember.

The quartet of seniors Cal Daughton, Mitchell Jennett, and sophomores Hunter Arends and Hunter Haveman flew around the black track to win by four seconds over Earlham, 3:31.19 to 3:35.06.

Haveman was out of breath after his race, but plenty pleased.

He knew Earlham was in hot pursuit.

“They were on us,” Haveman said. “I had to get out there and go.”

The entire group ran well according to Raiders coach Brad Elliott.

“The 4x4 is one we’ve had a lot of success with,” Elliott said. “It was good to see the kids finish the meet well. Both Hunters ran really well. Cal and Mitch did good on the front end.”

The Raiders ran their best time of the season by two seconds.

“I’m really happy with the kids. They did an outstanding job,” Elliott said.

Cal Daughton surged out to a several meter lead in the final leg of the 4x200 relay.

But as he motored down the front stretch, the shadow of Earlham’s Jacob Ridgely grew larger and larger in Daughton’s sight.

Daughton gave it one final surge at the line.

It was enough for the win.

Mount Ayr won the 4x200 relay in 1:32.98, with Earlham second in 1:33.01.

“I got out fast along the curve. I thought he was behind me a little ways,” Cal Daughton said. “I saw his shadow in the bleachers, heard the crowd all standing up.”

Finishes haven’t been Daughton’s strong suit.

This time, he came up with a big one.

“The last 10, 15 was tough,” Daughton said. “I have a tendency to tighten up at the end. I had to focus real hard on pushing through and finishing the race.”

Mount Ayr added a runner-up finish from the shuttle hurdle relay, Jennett in the 400 hurdles and a runner-up finish from the 4x800 relay. The Raiders also had a third-place finish from Isaac Timmerman in the 1,600, a third from the 4x100 relau and a third-place finish from Jacob McCreary in the

discus.

The way Mount Ayr competed this season, at the state qualifying meet shows the potential going forward.

“We peaked at the right time,” Elliott said. “It’s a young group. It will be exciting to see them perform.

They’re on the verge of something, but it’s going to take a little experience.”

Coming off a couple of solid seasons, the Raiders showed how promising the future will be.

“If some of the outsiders thought this would be a down year for Mount Ayr, and this is what a down year is, I’m happy with it,” Elliott said. “I’m excited. I couldn’t be prouder of a group of guys. They showed a lot of p o i s e . Harper They stuck their nose in the battle.”

East Union’s Emma Harper struggled through her junior campaign with an illness. A battle with anemia throughout the season kept her from running her best.

The road to redemption Thursday was rather sweet for the Eagles senior.

Harper dominated the field in the open 800, then powered the distance medley relay to a win, East Union’s two automatic qualifiers.

In the open 800, she was a part of three that quickly built a sizable lead.

Harper understood to stay close.

Harper took control on the backstretch with some 275 meters to go. She kept increasing the lead down the stretch to win by four seconds over Earlham’s Rachel Luke, 2:22.86 to 2:26.85.

Harper was mobbed by her teammates after the race, celebrating the impressive win.

She ran her personal best by three seconds.

The quick pace of the 800 was unsettling to Harper.

“It made me a little nervous, I’m not going to lie,” Harper said. “I don’t necessarily like to start that fast.”

Harper kicked it into another gear on the backstretch of the second lap.

“I told myself, ‘Emma, if you don’t go now, you’re never going to go,’” she said.

Bolstered by the cheering of her teammates on the back stretch, Harper found another gear.

“Having my teammates there yelling at me helped a lot being able to push through that last 300 and be able to get there.”

Eckels, senior Mara Weis and junior Sidney McFee served as motivation.

“I looked at my girls before the race — it’s now or never,” Harper said. “I did it for the girls.”

Murray senior Jack Jones has not been fully healthy in quite some time.

He’s battled through a foot injury recently, and had not competed in the long jump or ran for the past two Jones weeks.

He put the pain behind him when it mattered the most.

Jones uncorked a leap of 19-4.5 to win by an inch and a half over Colfax-Mingo’s Reegan Van Dyke, who was second with a leap of 19-3.

Jones was Murray’s lone automatic qualifier on either the girls or boys side.

“It was a goal of mine this year,” Jones said. “I wanted to get back there. It just feels good to get back there.”

Jones had to wait a considerable amount of time to see if he had won, as Van Dyke waited to complete his final jump after competing in the high jump.

Van Dyke’s final attempt fell short.

“It was kind of a relief,” Jones said. “It feels good to be back there. I wanted to make it especially for the school.

Jones qualified for state as a sophomore, but an injury-riddled junior campaign cost him another opportunity to compete in Des Moines.

He wasn’t going to let an injury derail those dreams of state in his final state qualifying meet.

“He is not the kind of kid who wants to sit out,” said Murray coach Keith Shields.

“I’m excited for Jack to return to Drake with an opportunity to jump.”

Diagonal’s girls were led

by Maddie Lohmann’s runner-up finish in the 3,000.

East Union’s boys were led by a third-place finish from Gabe Nixon in the 400 and a third-place finish from the distance medley relay.

Creston Community third- through fifth-grade Principal Scott Driskell adjusts his stocking cap Friday morning after camping out on top of the roof of Creston Community Elementary School Thursday night. The overnight low dipped to 50 degrees, but Driskell said it was an overall enjoyable experience camping on the roof.

He returned from Creston/O-M’s district tennis meet in Red Oak and began setting up his camp around 8 p.m. Thursday.

Driskell was surprised at how well he slept on the roof, as the low reached 50 degrees overnight. “Yesterday was such a long day sitting out there in

the sun at the tennis meet,� he said. “I went into the tent about 10:30. I was sitting out here reading and doing some different things until then.

People were driving by. I fell right asleep. I woke up a few times, but it was a lot better than what I expected.�

There was no rain date scheduled. Once the date was selected, Driskell had to spend the night on the roof rain or shine. “We’ve been pressing

him to do this since March,�

Anderson said. “He’s been hesitant because of the Iowa weather. We finally just said, ‘We’re running out of time; you need to pick a date.’ And so I think he threw a dart at the calendar and this was it.

He said, ‘What if it rains?’ and I said, ‘Bring a tent!’�

Overall, Driskell said it was an enjoyable experience, even though he lost the competition. “It was beautiful,� he said.

“I’ve been on the roof before during the tornado, checking out damage, and knew how much you could see. But, when you’re up here sitting by yourself, nobody around, it was great, actually.�

Both Anderson and Driskell said they’ll continue doing the Box Tops for Education fundraiser every year with new challenges. “So don’t ever stop saving your box tops,� Anderson said.

WCC has become a regular stop on the tour. This year two groups will perform: the Midwest Trio and the Con Fantasia Quartet.

The Midwest Trio is made up of Joshua Palazzolo, violin; Tonio Meade, cello; and Hequing Huang, piano.

All three have performed individually in recital halls around the globe. They are

spokeswoman dismissed a day earlier as “one of the smallest things� on the FBI’s plate was actually “highly significant.� And though the White House has asserted Comey lost the backing of rank-andfile agents, McCabe flatly said, “that is not accurate.� “I can tell you that the ma-

Musicians in Con Fantasia are Catherine Rinderknecht, violin; Rebecca Bressanelli,

violin; Alyssa Adamec, viola; and Ghyas Zeidieh, cello.

The quartet was selected to perform in the prestigious UI School of Music College

Concert in March. They will perform the Haydn String Quartet in G major and Arensky’s Piano Trio No. 1, Op. 32 in D minor.

jority, the vast majority of FBI employees, enjoyed a deep and positive connection to Director Comey,� said McCabe, who called it the “greatest privilege and honor in my professional life to work with him.�

Comey, he added, “enjoyed broad support within the FBI and still does to this day.�

McCabe’s testimony undercut a White House narrative that has evolved in the two days since Comey was ousted. The White House initially

said President Donald Trump made the call at the recommendation of the top two officials at the Justice Department, but in an NBC News interview that aired Thursday, the president said he would have fired Comey even without the recommendation.

Testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee, McCabe repeatedly — and at times bluntly — rejected some

of the claims the White House has used to explain the firing and to describe the investigation.

In one of the more dramatic exchanges, he was asked whether the investigation was — as White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders maintained Wednesday — a small investigation in relation to the other work the FBI is conducting.
