House of Pain owner and professional body piercer Amy Jo Lohoff changes the jewelry in an ear cartilage piercing for Judy Piearson of Creston.

By JOEL LAMB

CNA staff reporter jlamb@crestonnews.com

Professional body piercer and local business owner Amy Jo Lohoff has been a proud ambassador of the colorful fringe of Creston’s community for more than three decades.

Using human flesh as a canvas and a titanium needle as her brush, Lohoff creates personalized pieces of art from the confines of the aptly named House of Pain, 103 N. Elm St., in the heart of uptown Creston.

A Crestonian by birth, Lohoff takes pride in her hometown and the level of integrity she brings to a service that many may see as being beyond the banks of the mainstream. House of Pain’s reputation as a safe, knowledgeable and, perhaps most importantly, sanitary

destination for body modification enthusiasts carves a path much broader in spectrum than city and even state borders.

“Even with all the options for piercings in bigger cities, I still get people driving from places like Des Moines, Omaha and even Kansas City to be pierced by me,” Lohoff said. “One thing I love about my job is the fact that success depends a lot on reputation by word of mouth. I doubt that my out-of-town customers found House of Pain in their local phone book. They either know someone I have pierced or have seen the quality of the work.”

For Lohoff, puncturing a fellow person is much more than a business transaction; it’s a labor of love. Perhaps it is an appreciation for the totality of the piercing experience that has allowed her to forge a profession out of

what began as an infatuating hobby many years ago.

The wide array of personalities she becomes acquainted with through piercing is as gratifying to Lohoff as seeing the final results of her expertise that adorn her customers.

“It’s incredible to see the transformation in certain clients’ attitudes after they get a new piercing, especially if it’s their first one ever,” Lohoff remarked. “I’ve seen middle-aged soccer moms come in, who are teriffied of needles, for something as subtle as a nostril piercing but leave looking like a whole new person. I can actually see some of them change the way they carry themselves, like they’ve just done something they were told their whole lives they could not or should not do.”

“I CAN actually see some of them change the way they carry themselves, like they’ve just done something they were told their whole lives they could not or should not do.”

With geocachers from all over the state descending on Creston in September, the Iowa Geocachers Organization (IGO) hopes to familiarize Creston residents with geocaching.

The IGO is hosting a Geocaching 101 event 10 a.m.

Saturday at the north shelter house in Green Valley State Park.

Geocaching is a game in which users use Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to locate hidden caches and log that those caches have been found.

IGO Board Member Marcia Richwine said the event is both for seasoned geocachers, as well as those who simply want to learn what geocaching is about.

“It’s a good way for the community to come see what geocaching is about,” Richwine said. “We do open our doors to people who just want to know what it’s about.”

Richwine encourages those interested in attending the

Geocaching 101 event to first visit www.geocaching.com, watch the short video and then register a username, which will be used to log found caches.

Having a hand-held GPS unit is not necessary for Saturday’s event. Instead, Richwine suggests downloading the c:geo app for Android phones or downloading the iPhone app through www.geocaching.com.

“Those things will get you started when you get here,” she said. “Then you’ll be able to see what’s out there, and we’ll show you how to use the apps on your phone.”

Points of discussion at Saturday’s Geocaching 101 event will include what geocaching is, how to start, how to get in touch with other geocachers in the area and how to set up a cache page.

Avid geocacher Roger Lanning of Creston said Saturday’s event will be a perfect opportunity to learn more about geocaching before the IGO hosts its HikeN-Seek event in Creston on Sept. 23-25.

“What that’s designed for is people new to geocaching or people who want to know more about geocaching, you can come out and you’ll learn about geocaching (and) what to look for,” Lanning said. “It’d be a great opportunity for anyone who has questions or is curious to just come out. Hopefully, they’ll touch on the advantages and disadvantages of using a smartphone versus a hand-held GPS.”

Hike-N-Seek The IGO will bring its annual Hike-N-Seek event to Creston Sept. 23-25.

Richwine estimated the event will bring approximately 200 geocachers to Creston, and said Creston was selected as this year’s host because of its hotel and camping options and the parks located around Creston.

Geocaching is a growing game worldwide and presents numerous opportunities for adventure.

“We have in Iowa 27,000 geocaches. In the world, we’re getting close to 3 million,” Richwine said.

“They’re on every country, every continent and there’s even one on the space station. There are three in Antarctica.”

Dave Abildtrup of Creston said he and his wife have traveled places for no other reason than to find new caches.

“We got geocaches in a lot of places that you just wouldn’t believe. We drove all the way up to the Arctic Circle from Fairbanks to get a cache,” Abildtrup said.

“There’s really no sense in driving all the way to the Arctic Circle. But we like that kind of country, plus there was a cache up there, and I wanted that cache.

You just see places and go to places you never would have gone.”

According to Richwine, geocaching offers something for everyone.

“There are (caches) out there for people in wheelchairs and for people who really like long and difficult hikes,” she said. “You pick and choose which ones you want to go to. As you get older, you’re still going to want to geocache. There’s easy ones out there you can do. It’s something you can do how you want to.”

IowaWORKS temporarily relocated due to water damage The IowaWORKS office located at 215 N. Elm St. in Creston will be temporarily relocating due to standing water damage. Staff and services have been moved to Southwestern Community College.

Staff anticipates being back at their regular office location on Monday, May 23.

porary address and contact information: Southwestern Community College, Tech Center Building 1, Room 102, 1501 W. Townline St. in Creston and 641-414-2884. This will be a different number on Monday.

A sign has been posted on the front door of the office to direct customers to the new temporary office location.

The garden fair on Saturday will include garden art, honey, quilts and a few other surprises. Sandwiches, sides, bars and drinks will be for sale for the barbecue picnic lunch.

some recipients to provide permanent alleviation of persistent migraine headaches.

The Daith’s location is a very difficult place to pierce, which is a challenge Lohoff skillfully navigates at each request. This particular piercing is responsible for one of Lohoff’s most heart-felt experiences of her career.

“I gave a Daith piercing to a woman who was in the middle of a migraine and watched her agony literally disappear in an instant,” she said.

Even though Iowa has no laws regulating the process of body piercing or the age of those being pierced, Lohoff abides by her own high personal standards of morality and cleanliness at House of Pain. Customers requesting to be pierced must be 18 or older and have a valid photo ID or be age 14 with a parent’s consent. In the case of the latter, both the teen and parent must present a photo ID. As for the price of safe, professional piercings at House of Pain, “most are $40, which includes implant-grade jewelry and aftercare product,” Lohoff said.

Sanitation in piercing is paramount, which is why Lohoff stays current with first aid, CPR and blood-borne pathogen training and certification.

With more than fifteen years of piercing experience under her belt, she has seen her fair share of spontaneous decisions regarding body modification and never wants to see a client regret their choice.

“I prefer to have my appointments far enough apart to really let me talk to each customer and explain every part of the piercing process,” Lohoff said. “People don’t

think about the fact that every body and body part is shaped slightly differently in each person. I always try to point out unrealistic expectations for a particular piercing without killing the enthusiasm. It took a lot of years of practice to recognize potential problems before actually putting the needle in action.”

Lohoff doesn’t hesitate to offer her professional opinions on piercing types, placement and aftercare. She also refuses to use any jewelry in new piercings that is not made from medical implant-grade steel or titanium, because they are the most resistant to flesh irritation and build-up of bacteria.

According to Lohoff, the most prevelant cause of infection in new piercings is “changing the original jewelry before the piercing has had enough time to heal.”

“When they (piercings) are fresh, just leave them alone,” Lohoff said. “Don’t touch it and don’t use anything on it

“I like to think that by talking to the misunderstood teens who come in the shop I’m making at least a little more of an impression on them than just their piercing,” she said.

To Amy Lohoff, being a business owner in Creston also means being a part of the community. She uses the House of Pain as her headquarters for several charitable activities including “Luau For Life,” which helps to raise money for the Relay for Life team.

“We’ve donated changing tables to four Creston city park restrooms and two at the ball fields as well,” Lohoff said. “We also got new playground equipment for Rainbow Park and more will be installed this summer.”

Lohoff said she couldn’t even guess how many piercings she’s actually performed in her life, but she certainly has no intentions of “hanging up her needles” in the foreseeable future.

Corning monthly Opry Show dance planned Sunday CORNING – The monthly Opry Show will be at Corning Opera House Cultural Center from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday for $8 per person or $15 per couple at the door. The house band consists of many talented musicians from the area playing traditional and classic country music for your dancing pleasure.

Paul Fay of Lenox is the bass player and sings vocals.

He started playing music with high school classmates, often switching from country to rock and roll. Fay and his wife Betty own and operate a contract sound business for local fairs, talent shows and more. He’s had the pleasure of working with Aaron Tippen, Steve Hall, David Bell and many others.

Gary Walker of Blockow, Missouri, plays guitar and

sings. Walker started on clarinet and later switched to bass.

After breaking his collar bone in a motorcycle accident, he picked up the guitar. He has played guitar regularly in classic rock bands since 1984, and in 2010, discovered his love for classic country music.

BJ Hart of Atlantic plays keyboard. As a teenager, he would sneak into his father’s closet to play his guitar. At the age of 14, Hart started performing in church, singing harmony with his mother. At 16, Hart learned three chords on the piano, and during his college days he traveled across the Midwest singing at youth camps and meetings. Recently he was a guest for the Blue Tones Reunion, is active in his church and performs for many weddings.

Fran Wells of Greenfield

has been singing since she was three-years-old. Both of her parents were talented musicians. Music has always been and always will be a great part of her life.

Sheila Sadie Pierson of Lineville plays the spoons and has been entertaining for 25 years. Pierson does stand-up comedy, writes song parodies and dances on stage. She has opened for great artists like Marvin Rainwater, Tanya Tucker, Jimmy Dean, Bill Anderson and many others.

Taylor Charter of Ames plays the trap set. Charter grew up in a musical family that loves old country music.

As the youngest member, he looks forward to learning more and stretching his musical boundaries.

Buy tickets at the door the day of the show as there are no advance sales for these dances.

Every month features a different special guest at the Opry Show. Free parking is on the street and the Corning Opera House is handicap accessible.

Next Opry Show dates are June 26, July 24, Aug. 28, Sept.

25, Oct. 23, Nov. 20 and Dec. 18. For the latest updates check out the website at www.corningoperahouse.com, follow us on Facebook or call Corning Opera House at 641-418-8037.

that people try to recommend like rubbing alcohol, peroxide or Neosporin.”

The keys to a properly healed and long-lasting piece of piercing artwork are simple and readily available: “Just sea salt spray and time.”

Building a lucrative career around making people bleed a bit may seem unconventional to some, but Lohoff wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I make my schedule so I’m able to go to a lot of my kids’ activities that I probably wouldn’t be able to with other jobs I’ve had,” Lohoff said.

Having lived in Creston her entire life, Lohoff has held a wide range of occupations including work at “basically every factory in the Creston area.”

A few years ago, she spent some time substitute teaching in the special education department of the Creston school system. That is the only other professional field in which Lohoff can imagine carving out a career.

Fit for freshening up!

Dear Heloise: I often travel for business, and I try to arrive extra early. When hotels are not able to accommodate my request for early check-in and I need to FRESHEN UP, I head to the fitness room at the hotel.

There’s a shower, and I have been able to change, curl my hair, etc. The room usually is empty, and I have even rehearsed my presentation in there. The hotel can store your luggage until check-in time. -- Heather A., via email Heather, you are brilliant! -- Hugs, Heloise P.S.: HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH, FRIENDS! TAKE A PICTURE Dear Heloise: Whenever I need to purchase more materials for any project that I am working on, I pull out my cellphone and take pictures of what I need. This is my “list” of materials. -- Juana, via email RUST Dear Heloise: What’s the best way to remove rust spots? I got some on my white blouse, and before I pitch it, I thought I’d ask you. I tried bleach, and it didn’t work. Any ideas? -Claire B. in Indianapolis As you found out, chlo-

For Saturday, May 14, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You can be patient, but you also can be impatient. Today is a day that will test your patience. In particular, you will have to be patient with co-workers and people from other cultures.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Little arguments with romantic partners might break out today. Likewise, it’s easy to be annoyed with your kids. This is a Moon thang; it just requires some extra patience.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Domestic disputes or conflict with a spouse or close friend might arise today. Basically, this is because of a misunderstanding or confusion. Best to hold your tongue.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) People are strongly emotional today, which is why you have to be careful. Avoid quarrels.

Avoid getting upset. People are just irritable today, that’s all.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Disputes about money and possessions might arise today.

But if you can let this pass, it won’t bother you later.

Patience is the key.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) The Moon is in your sign today, at odds with Mars and Neptune. This makes it easy to kid yourself. It’s also challenging for close relationships.

(Tomorrow is an easier day.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)Communication is easily confusing today. Therefore, be aware of this if you are annoyed at someone or ready to take exception. Could be a big misunderstanding.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might be disappointed with a friend because of a misunderstanding or false assumption. Don’t get your belly in a rash until you have your facts straight. (So easy to do.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your relationship with authority figures will be challenging today. Therefore, knowing this ahead of time, don’t test the waters. Wait until tomorrow to engage, because it’s a great day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)This is a mildly accident-prone day, simply because you feel emotionally distracted. Don’t let this happen. Be alert and keep your

Hints from Heloise rine bleach doesn’t work on rust, whether the stain is on a sink, tub or material. The time-tested Heloise hint is to use lemon juice and salt on it. If that doesn’t work, your best bet is to use a commercial rust remover made for fabric. Follow the directions on the label. Dealing with stains is just a part of life!

My pamphlet can help you treat stains. To get a copy of Heloise’s Handy Stain Guide for Clothing pamphlet, visit www.Heloise. com to order online, or send $5 and a stamped (68 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope to: Heloise/Stains, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. The sooner you get to the stain, the easier it’ll be to remove.

But please stop and think before trying any stain-removal procedure -- they are not all the same.

Some white clothing is made with an optical whitener and brightener, so do NOT use chlorine bleach.

COMMUNITY

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, May 13, 2016

Club news tiful spring evening of May 2 at the home of Retta Ripperger.

President Velma Riegel called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m.

The members answered roll call with books they had read this month. We welcomed two guests, Mrs. Garnet Hildebrandt and Emma Richardson.

Minutes and treasurer’s report were read and approved.

Members of the program committee are Meg Crawford, Carolyn Derrick, Ellen Sue Findley, Dorothy McNaught and Barbara Thomsen.

Planning meeting will be later this month. Secretary’s book contains a list of the themes for each year since 1979-80.

The new officers are president, Dorothy McNaught, and secretary-treasurer, Carolyn Derrick.

Planning book was passed for sign up as hostess or book report for next year beginning in September.

After filling our plates with snacks, we watched the movie of our all-read selection for this year, “Jane Eyre.” The movie selected was the 1944 version in black and white, starring Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine, with brief appearances of the then child stars Margaret O’Brian and Elizabeth Taylor. The movie followed the book quite well, although it omitted the part about how Jane found her family relatives and the way that discovery enhanced her life.

If that had been included, it would have been much longer than the one-and-a-half hour movie which was the standard time frame in 1944. We enjoyed this presentation, and appreciated the fine photography and good acting.

After the movie concluded, the hostess served a delicious lunch of special rhubarb pie made from her grandmother’s recipe, and we enjoyed a time of good discussion and conversation.

Next meeting will be Sept. 12 with McNaught as hostess.

Books read include:

“Dover Reader” by G.K. Chesterton—short stories, essays and novelettes “When Christians Get It Wrong”

by Adam Hamilton “Ice Palace” by Edna Ferber “An Irish Doctor in Love at Sea”

by Patrick Taylor “The Lovely Bones” by Alice Sebold “Three Cups of Tea” by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin “When Christmas Comes Again” by Beth Seidel Levine “Footprints of a Pilgrim” by Ruth Bell Graham—poems and short stories, Forward by Jan Karon “Grace” by Richard Paul Evans “The Huntress/ FBI Series: 3-novel series” by Alexandra Sokoloff, “Huntress Moon,” “Blood Moon,” “Cold Moon” “The Choice” by Nicholas Sparks “Just Mercy” by Bryan Stevenson

We will work to build community trust We would like to sincerely apologize

By STEVE MCDERMOTT

CRESTON COMMUNITY SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT

In my entire career, I have never been more mortified, embarrassed or disgusted by something that happened at school this week. A high school student submitted an article for the student newspaper, The Prowler, and the article included vulgar language. That article was then printed in the Creston News Advertiser in its entirety.

Obviously the article should have been proofread at least by the adult overseeing this student activity and by others along the line as well.

This expected protocol did not happen and the community was therefore failed miserably.

This is an issue that cannot be repaired by a few well-written apologies. The Board of Education has directly expressed its disappointment and outrage for the failure to monitor this important student activity.

Immediate measures have been taken to assure this mistake will never happen again.

Stout reprimands and consequences have been assigned to

the individuals involved, student, faculty and administration. From this point forward, no student writing or projects will be published for public consumption until read and approved by a building principal and the superintendent.

There is no excuse for this clear oversight. In this day of an increasing prevalence of the use of foul language and shock-value commentary, our schools should never lower our standards for decency and appropriate behavior.

We work extremely hard to teach, reinforce and develop good character at school. We also make special efforts to promote a strong, positive image of our schools and of all the positive things that happen at school every day. However, our school’s reputation is just like that of an individual. It takes years to build a respectable reputation and just a few seconds to significantly damage it.

We will now do everything in our power to earn back the trust we have lost with this terrible incident. We are so sorry for this gross oversight. It will not happen again.

By PUBLICATIONS STAFF

CRESTON HIGH SCHOOL

We, the Creston High School publications staff, would like to sincerely apologize for the language quoted in The Prowler on May 12. While Iowa law protects students’ freedom of speech, our staff respects our community standards and, by that measure, what was printed

was not acceptable.

We regret any conflict caused because of the profanity in the recent paper. The Creston News Advertiser has always supported us and is in no way responsible for the content of any of our papers.

We hope to recover the respect we previously held in the community by thoroughly researching and editing quality work in the future.

I am deeply sorry for this incident

By BILL MESSEROLE terms used in a recent article CRESTON HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

I read the May 12 edition of The Prowler with great disappointment and utter dismay.

As principal at Creston High School, it is ultimately my responsibility to make sure all editions of this student newspaper are written up to standards expected of a class inside our curriculum. Although student opinion is a protected “speech” under current guidelines and law, vulgarity and poor journalism are not. The

were vulgar and not acceptable under any circumstances.

I want to be clear that the Creston News Advertiser and their staff are not responsible for this. This is solely on Creston High School, and we failed miserably. I apologize to the staff at CNA and its many readers. Any attempt to explain how this could happen would sound like excuses and there are no excuses for this.

Again, I am deeply sorry for this incident and steps are being taken to make sure this never happens again.

Walsh unofficially Panther girls send 6 qualifies for state in 800 events to state

Creston senior Taylor Briley, left, takes a handoff from sophomore teammate Cayla Maitlen in the distance medley relay Thursday at a Class 3A State Qualifying Meet in Glenwood. The Panthers finished second in the event to advance to next week’s Co-ed State Track Meet at Drake Stadium.

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

GLENWOOD — The Creston girls track team automatically qualified six events to next weeks Co-ed State Track Meet, competing here Thursday at the Class 3A State Qualifying Meet.

In addition, head coach Clay Arnold feels confident his team will receive several at-large berths to the state meet.

In Class 3A, the top two finishers in each event automatically qualify to the state meet, with the next eight best performances statewide receiving at-large berths.

Those eight at-large qualifiers will be announced today.

The Panthers picked up two event victories, as junior Hannah Hood threw a season best of 41 feet, 1.25 inches to win the shot put competition by nearly a full foot Hood and the Creston sprint medley team also won.

That relay team included Stephanie Hemsworth, Cayla Maitlen, Amber Castillo and Taylor Briley. The Panthers ran a season-best 1:54.99 to win by 2.54 seconds over Sioux City Bishop Heelan.

Hemsworth split a PR 12.87 on the opening 100 meters and Castillo blazed a huge PR of 25.60 on the 200-meter leg.

“She looked amazing,” Arnold said about Castillo.

“I knew it was going to be fast. Briley brought us home like she’s supposed to. We screwed that sprint med up bad last year. Briley’s freshman year she anchored that and we did not run well, didn’t qualify. We finally got that monkey off our back. It was nice to win it and run a real nice time.”

The distance medley relay team of Maitlen, Briley, Jesse Vicker and Brielle Baker finished second in a season-best time to earn a spot at the state meet. The 4x400 relay team of Vicker, Hemsworth, Baker and Briley also finished second.

Castillo ran 16.35 in the 100 meter hurdles for second place and an automatic qualifying spot, while Baker finished Castillo second in the 800 meters in 2:26.80.

“We did what we were supposed to in those,” Arnold said. “Those weren’t the ones I was excited about, I guess. I was happy to do all that stuff, but that was what we were supposed to do.

These other ones I’m confident about getting at-larges is what I’m most excited about.”

ing the state field. Breanna Wallace has an outside shot of making the high jump field after tying for fourth place at 4-10.

Creston’s 4x800 relay team of Briley, Jessica Beatty, Vicker and Baker finished third in 10:02.64, which Arnold said will make the field.

“We were just hoping to run a little faster,” Arnold said. “What we’re really nervous about is getting in the fast heat so we can go after a medal. That will be the question there.”

The 4x200 relay team of Hemsworth, Castillo, Josie Sickels and Maitlen finished fourth in 1:50.30. Lexie Little took fifth in the 400 meter hurdles at 1:10.94, but Arnold said that time has made it into the state field in past years.

The 4x100 relay team ran a season-best 51.92 for third place, which Arnold said should make the field.

That relay consisted of Rachel Shepherd, Maitlen, Hemsworth and Castillo.

“We came over here knowing exactly what we needed to do and in all but one relay, we did that,” Arnold said. “We came over here trying to qualify in every relay. We’ll see tomorrow if we got that done. If we did, that’ll be one of the single-greatest accomplishments in this program.”

GLENWOOD — The Creston boys track team did not automatically advance anyone to next week’s Co-ed State Track Meet, but senior Nick Walsh appears headed to state after a career-best performance here Thursday night.

Walsh finished third in the 800 meters at the Class 3A State Qualifying Meet.

The top two fini s h e r s Walsh in each event automatically advance to the state meet, with the next eight best performances statewide earning at-large berths.

The Panther senior found himself engulfed in a three-person battle and charged to the lead in the final 200 meters.

But Atlantic’s Jaxson Eden and Harlan’s Levi Preston found another gear in the final 50 meters to sneak past Walsh.

Eden won in 2:03.13, with Preston second in 2:03.25 and Walsh third in 2:03.82.

“Awesome, awesome, awesome,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said.

“He’s been really coming on. He ran 2:07 and change last Thursday at conference. We’ve been stressing to Nick he just needs to start believing in himself.

He went out and improved himself by 4 seconds within a week.”

As results trickled in from other Class 3A State Qualifying Meets Thursday night, Walsh appeared to unofficially rank second among non-automatic qualifiers, which would earn him an at-large berth into the state meet.

“Now we get to wait it out to see if that 2:03.82 holds up in the next eight best times,” Schlapia said.

“There’s an example right there — we talked to the boys yesterday and said, ‘When you are done with your event and you walk off that track, be able to say to yourself you did your best.’ Nick did that.”

McDermott returns

Senior Cooper McDermott made his return to the Panther lineup after missing nearly three weeks after being diagnosed with mononucleosis and then having his appendix removed.

McDermott hung tight for three laps in the 1,600 meters, before running out of gas on the final lap. He finished sixth in 4:52.50, ending a stellar career.

“He hasn’t been able to do anything since then. He was able to start practicing with us last Friday,” Schlapia said. “We were not worried so much about the pace and time. The main goal was to stay with that top two to qualify. That last 400, he was still with that group, but was not able to go with those guys and they pulled away.

“With Cooper, they may have had to take his appendix out, but they sure didn’t take his heart out.

He showed a lot of heart coming back and running in that race.”

Junior Cody Tanner

threw a PR of 41 feet, 3.50 inches in the shot put to medal in seventh p l a c e . Tanner That was an improvement of 7 inches.

The 4x800 relay team of Dalten Bierle, Brody Frain, Cody Wagner and Walsh ran 8:56.30 for fifth place. Frain ran a PR split of 2:08.

Creston finished seventh in the 4x200, 4x100 and distance medley relays, with the medley team of Chase Shiltz, Travontay Wright, Wagner and Frain running a season’s best of 3:56.91.

“First time under 4 minutes,” Schlapia said. “We tried this lineup for the first time. We were able to improve by 6 seconds.”

Creston also finished eighth in the 4x400 relay.

“When you look at our setup for our State Qualifying Meet, we knew going into it this was a state-quality meet,” Schlapia said.

“This was just like running at state, except we didn’t have a blue track. The teams that were there are going to be very successful there at Drake Stadium.

Coach (Steve) Birchard and myself were both very proud of our boys.”

McDermott, Chris Foster, Seth Maitlen and Travis Purdy all ran in the final track meet of their careers Thursday.

SHENANDOAH — After a disappointing seventh-place finish at the Hawkeye 10 Tournament earlier in the week, Thursday was a good day for the Creston/O-M boys tennis team.

Each of the team’s entries scored at least one victory in Class 1A district competition. Ryan Kucera became the program’s first two-time boys singles state qualifier by placing second.

The doubles team of Jaden Driskell and Jacob Cook came up one win short of state qualification.

It all amounted to a second-place finish overall

lows them to host Osceola Clarke Saturday morning in a preliminary substate team dual. District champion Glenwood gets a bye.

Second-round substate play is one week later, scheduled at Red Oak. Glenwood scored 21 points in first place, Creston had 17 points in second place and Clarke took third with 10 points.

“I can’t say enough about how well our kids came out and played today,” Panther coach Kevin Cooper said.

“Everyone contributed to getting second place and allowing us to host the team preliminary substate Saturday morning.”

Glenwood advanced two doubles teams to state in

Aaron Bertini and Adam Konfrst knocked off teammates Alex Chekal and Sam Lauritsen in three sets for the district championship. Both advanced.

In the singles division, top-seeded Travis Miller of Council Bluffs St. Albert goes to state as a district champion with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Kucera.

S e e d ed third, Kucera beat second-seeded Reed Morris of Kucera Clarke in the semifinals, 6-4, 6-4, to avenge a loss from an earlier dual

“What a day for Ryan!”

Cooper said. “He has worked so hard the past year and it is great to see him rewarded for all that extra time on the court.”

State singles and doubles play will be held May 2728 at Byrne’s Park Tennis Complex in Waterloo.

Sophomore Dustin Merritt also played singles and beat Southwest Valley’s John Kinser before falling to the top-seeded Miller in straight sets.

“Dustin has improved tremendously from the beginning of the year,” Cooper said. “He was able to get a win and help us qualify as a team.”

Cook and Driskell won two straight matches with-

out giving up a match point before losing to Lauritsen and Checkal, and then to Red Oak’s Weston Rolenc and Jesse Taylor in the consolation round.

“Jacob and Jaden played very well today and scored six points for us,” Cooper said. “Like Dustin, they are young and have a great future.”

Sam Eagan and Triston Davidson scored three points for the Panthers in winning their first-round match against Southwest Valley’s Scott Palmer and Trevor Holbrook.

“Sam and Triston did exactly what their team needed — score points,” Cooper said. “They performed well and were a big asset to their team.”

GLENWOOD — The Glenwood girls powered to an 8-0 victory over Creston Thursday, scoring five goals in the second half.

The two teams battled scoreless until the Rams (67, 3-1 Hawkeye 10) broke through with their first goal with 15:15 remaining in the first half. Two more goals in the final 10:30 made it 3-0 at halftime.

Fatigue appeared to hamper the Panthers, as Glenwood extended its 5-0 lead with three more goals in the final 10:22 of the match.

“We had them shut down for quite awhile in the first half,� said Creston coach Kim Lauffer. “Becca (Ross) had several good saves. We were cutting off their options and they weren’t able to get good, clean shots. For the most part I was pleased with the way we played. But, it became apparent we were getting tired, and then mentally after the fourth and fifth goals people started to shut down a little mentally.�

The Panthers managed five shots, two by Abbie Cook, while Ross was busy on the other end with 33 saves.
