Dale Cline, 58, of Creston was appointed to the Union County Board of Supervisors Wednesday.

The decision came after the appointment committee made up of Union County Auditor Sandy Hysell, Recorder Paula White and Treasurer Kelly Busch interviewed nine applicants Wednesday afternoon.

“I was very surprised. I did not even think I had a chance to be considered for the position,” Cline said in an interview this morning. “I feel so honored and I know

fort.”

The position became open after Lois Monday died in April. Cline will join Board President Dennis Brown and Board Member Ron Riley.

UK police find ‘significant’ evidence; May slams US on leaks MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Home searches across Manchester and beyond have uncovered important items in a fast-moving investigation into the concert bombing that left 22 people dead, Manchester’s police chief said Thursday as a diplomatic spat escalated over U.S. leaks about the investigation to the media.

Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Ian Hopkins

told reporters the eight suspects detained so far are “significant” arrests, and “initial searches of premises have revealed items that we believe are very important to the investigation.”

He did not elaborate, but those arrests around the northwestern English city include Ismail Abedi, the brother of 22-year-old Manchester

DEATHS Joann Kirkhart Lorimor

Joann C. Kirkhart, 92, of Lorimor passed away in her sleep Monday, May 22, 2017, at Winterset Care Center South.

There was a private family viewing before cremation Wednesday, May 24, at Ochiltree Funeral Service, 1823 N. J o h n Wayne Dr., in Winterset. A family g a t h e r - Kirkhart ing for interment at Lorimor Cemetery will be held at a later date. Memorials may be sent to Order of the Eastern Star No. 180 in Winterset. Online condolences may be made to the family at www.ochiltree.com.

Joann Charlotte Kirkhart was born Jan. 24, 1925, to Raymond E. and Lenora “Irene” (Slaughter) Strain of Lorimor. On June 15, 1945, she married Allan Leaton Kirkhart.

He preceded her in death on July 15, 1996.

Joann graduated from Lorimor High School in 1942 and taught school at New Hope No. 3 until

interviews. It was a challenging decision for the committee.”

The committee took 16 applications and narrowed them down to nine to be interviewed. The nine were Cline, Robert Brown of Thayer, James Crago of Shannon City, Larry Latham of Creston, Cody Miller of Thayer, Tom Spencer of Creston, Jim Brimm of Creston, Donna Cunningham of Creston and Dennis Wimmer of Arispe.

Cline spent 37 years working for the United States Postal Service as a rural carrier in Pennsylvania.

He spent several years helping his daughter and son-in-law on their farm between Afton and Arispe before moving to Creston about three and a half years ago after retirement.

Cline said he doesn’t seek any personal gain or recognition by being on the Union County Board of Supervisors. Rather, he just wants to see the county continue to progress for future generations.

One item he said he’s interested in working on is continuing to pay down the county’s debt.

“Most of my adult life, even when I was a teenager,

she moved to Des Moines.

After her marriage, she and Allan settled in Lorimor where she became a homemaker and mother.

She was a lifetime member of Eastern Star, an original founding member of the Merry Fu Book Club and a member of Lorimor United Methodist Church.

She also served on the Lorimor City Council and was involved in many community activities.

Joann took her hobbies seriously and taught ceramics and porcelain classes in her shop. Her hands were always busy and most recently involved in jigsaw puzzles.

She is survived by her three children, Roxanne King of Greenwood, Missouri, Alynn Huffman (Gary) of Central City, Colorado, and Rodric Kirkhart of Lorimor; sister Twyla Walton of Branson, Missouri; brother Bruce Strain of Surprise, Arizona; four grandchildren, Raquel Benson (Bill) of Aurora, Colorado, Raelynn King-Barnhart of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, David Huffman (Ada) of Golden, Colorado, and Rayna Huffman (Dave) of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and five great-grandchildren, Meagan and Madison Nelson, Samantha and Sydney Barnhart and Renne Huffman.

I got involved with 4-H and the legislative body,” Cline said. “I always thought public office was a dream of mine. I do a lot of volunteer work. I always felt I could help out my neighbors and community in some way, shape or form. I figured I’d give it a try. I’m retired and I have time I can spend on certain issues and the interests of the public. That’s why I applied for the position.”

In order to meet Iowa code, Cline must run in the next general election, which is scheduled November 2018.

Monday was voted in during the last election in November 2016 for a fouryear term. Cline must complete the remainder of Monday’s term.

“When you make an appointment, they have to run in the next election to finish out the term,” Hysell said. “It’s Hysell actually a four-year term, but, per code, if you’re appointed, you have to go on the ballot for the next general.”

New Iowa governor names Adam Gregg ‘acting lieutenant gov’ DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has named Republican attorney Adam Gregg as her administration’s No. 2 leader while seeking to avoid a lawsuit over whether she has the power to name a new lieutenant governor.

Democratic Attorney General Tom Miller advised this month that the Iowa Constitution would not give Reynolds the power to name a new lieutenant governor after she succeeded Gov. Terry Branstad.

movie, there was food, a carnival, music and dancing, games and sketching of caricatures and ended with a breakfast at the Eagles Lodge where Crestubilee souvenir gifts and six door prizes were awarded with a drawing. Jim Larkin won a one-year theater pass, Sharon Evans won a six-month theater pass, Lois Wolfe won a three-month theater pass, Marsha O’Riley won a transistor radio, Tom Rouh won an electric shaver and Connie Holmes won a hair dryer.

Skylark Drive-in Theater was opening up for a new season with free shows “Masquerade” and “Never Too Late.” Food specials included fresh barbecued ham sandwich for $.49 and 1/2-French fried chicken with double order of French fries for $1.

General Manager Joseph Wallace announced Veg-APeel Co. officially changed their name to Vanmark Corporation. Wallace said, “We simply outgrew the name. It was appropriate when only vegetable peelers were produced, but the product line has expanded so much and so fast, the old name simply does not reflect the full line of products and is misleading.”

The new bathhouse, canteen, swimming beach and boat livery at Green Valley State Park, operated by Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Bolinger, was opening. Boats were available to rent for fishing or boating and a full line of fishing tackle and bait was available. The beach boasted a life guard and the canteen had a variety of delicious food.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, May 25, 2017

Memorial Day weekend brings plenty of things to do The unofficial start to summer is this weekend with Memorial Day kicking off the season. It looks like the weather will be nice temperature-wise, but there may be a chance of showers sometime during the weekend. So, it should be a great weekend to be outside.

I’m sure the local campgrounds will be full. I’m looking forward to just kicking back and enjoying the weather with my fishing pole in hand. It has been a good spring for fishing. The weather may give some of the farmers a chance to get the last of their crops planted.

As always it is great time to reflect on all of the people who have served our country over the years and currently. We thank them for their service and appreciate what they have done to keep our country free and safe.

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

Rain It’s kind of interesting the reports I’ve been getting from friends around the country about the amount of water overtaking many areas.

I have a friend in New York next to Lake Ontario who says the lake is starting to encroach on many of the houses around the lake due to all the snow melt and heavy rains they have received over the past couple of months. Nashville has also experienced many floods as of late. My friends in Wyoming are

also trying to get through the large snow packs from this winter. The hot weather out on the west coast this week is making a mess out of the snow packs up in the mountains.

Places like Oregon that usually only have temps in the 70s are in the upper 90s this week. The snow pack is sending a lot of water down the mountains. Authorities are warning people to stay out of the cold water over the holiday weekend because it could cause hypothermia if you are in it for too long. As they say, “If you don’t like the weather now, just wait five minutes!”

New governor We welcome Kim Reynolds as our new governor this week. She is from right down the road in Osceola. She is our first female governor.

I run the Osceola paper and have had many opportunities to visit with Kim along the way. She is a nice person and has worked hard to get to where she is at. Hopefully she will continue to lead the state in a positive way.

Summer TV There are a lot of new shows starting up just in time for summer. Even a couple of recycled shows are coming back like “Battle of the Network Stars,” which use to be on back from 1976 to 1985. Howard Cosell was the emcee for the show. You had actual TV stars doing athletic events.

That’s a blast from the past!

There are also the usual summer shows like “Big Brother,” “America’s Got Talent” and “Game of Thrones.” For those of you who get into Shark Week, that will start

July 23. There is even a fifth movie of the “Sharknado” series headed our way! Love that summer TV!

Golf This Saturday kicks off the first of many golf tournaments in the area. The SWCC Athletic Department golf tournament headlines this weekend at Crestmoor Golf Club, followed by the Greater Regional Medical Center tournament on June 2. The week after is a fundraising tournament to get a new police K-9 dog here in Creston. So get your “sticks” out and go support your favorite cause.

Thought for the week: “If there is anything we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could be better changed in ourselves.” – Carl Jung

2016

In Iowa, the options for those needing critical inpatient psychiatric inpatient units are few and far between. There’s 740 inpatient beds available across the state, and in predominantly rural areas in the northern part of the state near the Minnesota border and in southern Iowa near the Missouri border, distances to travel to find beds are lengthy, unlike near the urban population centers such as Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport and Sioux City.

According to the nonprofit Treatment Advocacy Center, it recommends 50 beds for mental health patients per 100,000 people.

Iowa has two per 100,000.

That ranks dead last in the country.

While former Gov. Terry Branstad’s administration says the system now is better, providing more quality care, particularly after closing mental health facilities in Clarinda and Mount Pleasant, medical professionals on the ground say otherwise.

According to a report by Cedar Rapids TV station KCRG earlier this month, finding beds is difficult at best, if not impossible. The 20 bed inpatient unit at Mercy Hospital in Cedar Rapids is constantly full, the report showed.

It went on to say if a bed is not available there for someone in crisis, the search is on for a bed anywhere in the state.

“The system is broken and it’s getting worse,” said Dr. Alan Whitters, the Medical Director of Behavioral Health at Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids.

Life changes By the spring of 2016, I sensed a new part of my life was coming.

I was ready to finally start dating again, sensed a job change coming.

Early in May, I accepted the offer to become the sports editor here at the News Advertiser.

A few days after making the decision public, I received an email at lunchtime from a dear friend back in Nebraska.

She said God had been placing a friend of hers on her heart, and with my name too. She wondered if I’d be interested in meeting, talking. I was intrigued and searched her out on social media before saying yes. Soon we made contact and started talking.

I moved to Creston the week of Memorial Day, dove headfirst into the duties here.

By that weekend, the relationship was quickly taking off.

Soon, we were officially dating.

I had a new job and a new girlfriend.

The first weekend of June, we formally met in Lincoln, where she lives. We had supper in the Haymarket, our first official date. It was like life was coming full circle in so many ways.

Three years after the worst day of my life, things seemed to be turning around.

Kronberg’s korner Ryan Kronberg sports editor

If only it were so easy.

The relationship went through some wild ups and downs over the next few months. I made many, many mistakes, could not give her the emotional support she needed, the time she needed, did not put her first in everything I did like she truly deserved.

The relationship collapsed in mid-September.

There were flutters of possible reconciliation around Thanksgiving, but a really dumb mistake on my part led to a complete collapse for good.

My heart was crushed. After three years of waiting for this, it wasn’t meant to be. My depression flared badly. Even though I was on medication, it couldn’t help with the dark cloud hanging over head.

•••

Fighting hard through the longest winter The depression deepened as the winter wore on. Work was fun, but plenty busy.

But the signs of an impending emotional collapse were mounting.

There was a minature collapse at state wrestling, but I held on strong.

The full emotional collapse came in mid-March, right before leaving to cover the Southwestern Community College men’s basketball team at the NJCAA Division II National Tournament in Danville, Illinois.

Between a conversation two days before leaving, a serious panic attack that Saturday night and the lack of truly good, regular rest since the start of the year, and even less leading up into the couple days before leaving for Danville, a shattered heart was crushed into a million pieces.

For six hours that Sunday, I sat at my desk, bawling uncontrollably; my heart was shattered, like it was never going to heal again. That night, I felt like there was hardly anyone to talk to who cared. I talked online with a few friends outside of the immediate area, one in Creston.

It was the lowest I’d felt since that awful night in Lincoln nearly four years ago.

I never considered anything harmful, thankfully, just cried my heart until I couldn’t couldn’t cry any more.

I survived the week, and what a wonderful one it was with the Spartan men capturing the national title.

I came back, albeit tired, but combined with terrific help from Managing Editor Scott Vicker and sports department cohert Kaleb Carter, we put together an incredible post-championship paper.

In the most important assignment of my career to date, I crushed it, absolutely crushed it.

But lurking was the depression, bipolar.

The aftereffects of a lack of good sleep in Danville, and the thrill of the week wearing off flared the Wednesday after I

came back. I crashed emotionally again, another night where I sat at my desk sobbing for hours.

It was a true miracle the pages were done Thursday, right up against deadline (my apologies Scott).

•••

Putting on a brave face The cruel thing about the downward spells is sometimes you have no choice but to hide the dark side of it.

You have to put on a brave face in public, even if your heart is screaming in agony.

I found that out six days after Easter.

Another message popped up that Saturday. This message was the most cruel, vile thing I’ve ever read. From what I could tell, and talking with friends after, the intent appeared to be to hurt, wound emotionally, and deeply.

Mission accomplished.

It tripped off another crying spell. This time though, there was no hiding at my desk. I had to put on a brave face as I was in public, shooting an event for the paper. Shooting the event was an emotional nightmare, having to put on a brave face when I wanted to be somewhere, anywhere else, bawling.

The depression battle took on a whole different level, fighting harder than ever.

A heart that had been crushed and rebuilt so many times over the years, even more so the past four years was crushed again once more.

This time, the heart, the soul was crushed the worst it has ever been.

•••

Winning the war It’s a battle I face daily – the battle of my mind. It’s one I wouldn’t wish on anybody.

It’s a full-blown war and it’s ugly.

My mind fights and fights and fights.

If I can survive May 26, 2013, this past winter and early spring, I know I can survive anything.

There’s been many times where I’ve wondered why God didn’t let it all end that night at 4455 North 1st Street in northwest Lincoln, there in that moment.

God must have something planned through all this, the wild adventure I went through that night, have been through since.

If my journey, my fight, my battle helps anyone, someone to seek help, treatment, then maybe that was the point of all this.

That’s my hope and prayer.

Lincoln’s most beautiful piece of prose Lincoln’s most beautiful piece of prose is not the Gettysburg oration, stirring indeed though that was, nor the inspired second Inaugural, but the closing paragraph of the first Inaugural address. There were no ghostwriters then, and public men wrote their own speeches. But the first Inaugural, as Lincoln had written it, came to a blunt and severe ending, ”With you, and not with me, is the solemn question of ‘Shall it be peace, or a sword?’”

When he showed the speech to U.S. Secretary of State William Henry Seward, Seward told him it was too stern and abrupt a conclusion and wrote out another paragraph which he submitted to him. In this paragraph Seward employed the metaphor of the chords of memory proceeding from the battlefields of the past 8:15 to 8:45 a.m. confession; 9 a.m. Mass. Monday, 8:30 a.m.

and the patriot graves, and how they “will yet again harmonize in their ancient music when breathed upon by the guardian angel of the nation.”

Lincoln took this paragraph and with the touch of genius transmuted it to pure gold: “We are not enemies, but friends.

We must not be enemies.

Though passion may have strained it must not break our bond of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I am a plumber, and I wanted to give my two cents’ worth on those blue bleach TABLETS that folks drop in the tank to keep the toilet bowl clean in between scrubbings.

I hate ‘em. A strong bleach tablet so close to the rubber flapper will degrade it, which eventually will cause water to leak from the tank. This is wasteful.

The blue coloring masks lime and iron buildup. And the blue material will turn to gel eventually, which can clog the jets underneath – what a mess!

My solution is one of your favorites: white vinegar. I recommend pouring 1 cup of white vinegar into the overflow (the skinny pipe that stands up in the tank). This will allow the vinegar to circulate inside the rim and dissolve buildup when the toilet is flushed. Do this once a month. Thanks for your column. – Roy H. in Salt Lake City Roy, excellent hints! Yes, vinegar is one of my go-to household cleaners. Cheap, safe, nontoxic and readily available, vinegar can save you hundreds of dollars a year in cleaning supplies.

I’ve compiled a collection of my favorite vinegar hints and recipes into a handy pamphlet. Would you like to receive one? Visit my website, www. Heloise.com, to order, or send $5 and a long, stamped (70 cents), self-addressed envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Vinegar can unclog the shower head, too.

Soak it in a bowl overnight.

– Heloise MARKING OFF A DONATION Dear Heloise: When you want to donate your old magazines to the doctor’s office or hospital waiting room, the easy way to do it is to get a permanent marker and draw a line through your name and address.

Most people go through the trouble of cutting the name off the front, but it is quicker to black out the name and address, and the cover looks better when part of it is not cut off.

It also is easier to hold with the page intact. – Betty R., Albany, N.Y. Some publications have removable labels that you can easily peel off. Donate to any waiting room anywhere,

or call schools in your neighborhood – they always can use magazines for art projects and research. – Heloise LEFTOVER WRAP Dear Heloise: My family and I enjoy reading your column in the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald.

When we have leftovers, we cover them with plastic wrap. The plastic wrap can be reused many times. This is nice when bringing a dish to a gathering as well.

To keep the food as fresh as possible, after covering the food, we used a hair dryer on low to “seal” the plastic wrap to the container.

If you use the hair dryer over all of the plastic wrap, it removes all the wrinkles, so your dish has a polished, professional look. – The Huston family, Omaha, Neb. TURN IT ON Dear Heloise: Don’t you hate it when people don’t use their turn signal? So many times I wait for a car to drive by, and just as they are up to me, they put their turn signal on.

I could have been long gone. This happens so many times! – A Reader in Ohio (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

PANTHER BOYS SOCCER

Creston bows out of postseason Creston falls short of Substate final, says farewell to large senior class

■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

GILBERT —Creston’s boys soccer team played an opponent that was better than it Wednesday night.

There was no shame in the Panthers’ 4-0 loss to Gilbert, who came into the Substate 7 semifinal the winners of 10 its last 11 games.

During that span, the Tigers had given up just six goals.

“They play a consistent, fast-paced possession,” Creston coach Lucian Diaconu said. “They lay down plays and I got the feeling that this was a more experienced team than we were.”

Creston laid back with a conservative approach early on, allowing the Tigers to make plenty of touches before the Panthers would press or try to intercept passes when Gilbert passes across the field.

The Panthers had scoring leader Gavin Woods on a breakaway one-on-one with Gilbert keeper Christian

Graber in the 12th minute, but Woods pushed the shot just wide of the near side of the goal.

That marked the best scoring chance of the evening for Creston.

The Panthers communicated audibly and consistently at the beginning of the game, but took a collective punch to the gut on Gilbert’s first goal.

In the 21st minute, the Tigers’ Andrew Thatcher lofted a long ball from near the left sideline to the far right post, onto the foot of Zach Smith, who tapped the ball forward and blasted the ball to the far side of the goal and past Panther keeper Payton Pryor. It was one of two assists on Wednesday for Thatcher.

The 1-0 Gilbert lead put the Panthers on their toes.

“We did not pressure enough on the ball on that wing,” Diaconu said. “They did a long cross. Backdoor was open. Boom, shot on goal.”

About 10 minutes after goal number one, Gilbert took advantage of a corner kick, with Thatcher playing the ball into the box and Brian Cruz-Gomez finishing CNA photo by KALEB CARTER with a header to give Gilbert Creston senior Gavin Woods looks to gain position with the ball on Gilbert senior Noah Steckelberg during the Panthers’ 4-0 loss to the Tigers in a second-round Class 1A a 2-0 lead.

PANTHER BOYS TENNIS Successful formula leads Cook and Driskell to state Creston/O-M doubles team to play at state Friday ■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Jacob Cook and Jaden Driskell have developed a formula on the tennis court that works well for them.

Over the past three years they have been paired together in doubles, Cook typically hangs out at the baseline, while Driskell occupies the area near the net.

The two have that formula down pat.

It’s helped them to reach the state tournament for the first time.

Cook and Driskell will take to the court Friday morning in the Class 1A state tournament at Byrnes Park in Waterloo.

Roadrunners ace pitcher stymies Tigers I-35’s Stanley strikes out 17 in Roadrunner win ■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

LENOX — Interstate 35 senior pitcher Carlyn Stanley was dialed in from the first batter of Wednesday’s season opener against Lenox.

Stanley set the tone to start the game with a strikeout, one of many she recorded on the sunny, but cool night.

The all-state pitcher struck out 17 and Interstate 35’s bats gave Stanley

enough support for a 7-0 win in Pride of Iowa Conference play.

Roadrunners veteran coach Tim Bogs could not recall what Stanley’s career high for strikeouts in a game was, but Wednesday’s effort was up there.

Interstate 35 bats come alive late, top Lenox

By RYAN KRONBERG

Meanwhile, Anderson and company kept the Roadrunners at bay.

“We started out well,” said Lenox coach Tyler Peterson. “We executed things on the bases. We executed a couple of bunts.”

Interstate 35’s bats came alive in the fourth, taking advantage of what it saw.

The Roadrunners sent 13 batters to the place in the fourth and scored eight runs.

Darian Brown did the damage first, driving in two with a single, chasing Anderson, the Lenox starting pitcher.

Two passed balls led to two runs. Levi Sandquist had a run scoring single and Dominic Cresta drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.

Interstate 35 coach Jeff Douglas had doubts his team would be able to hit in its season opener, but the Roadrunners connected.

“We finally started hitting the ball,” Douglas said. “I didn’t know if we were ever

LENOX — Lenox started out well in Wednesday’s Pride of Iowa Conference opener.

The Tigers struck first at the plate, scoring single runs in the first and third innings for an early 2-0 lead.

Lenox kept the momentum going, leading 2-0 through three innings.

Then Interstate 35’s bats, which were not finding gaps early, started to find every gap in sight.

The Roadrunners poured on 15 runs over the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, leading to a 15-3, six-inning win.

Lenox struck for a run in the first. Colton Hogan was hit by a pitch and scored on Brenden Christensen’s base hit.

Hogan singled to start the third and scored on Kaleb Anderson’s sacrifice fly.

going to do that. We started hitting the ball.”

Interstate 35 tacked on two more in the fifth, with one run scoring on a passed ball.

The Roadrunners plated five more in the sixth to end the game early.

“Sometimes you’re outmatched at the plate and tonight we were,” Peterson said. “They were pretty tough up and down the line-

hit — a one-out single in the first by Jacy Stoaks. She took second on a passed ball, but was stranded there.

“She (Stanley) is a great pitcher,” said Lenox coach Mandy Stoaks. “She does a very good job.”

Lenox seldom made contact.

“We talked about that with the girls. They just have to go up with confidence they can get a hit,” Stoaks said. “She’s one of the better pitchers we’ll see.”

The Tigers had only one other base runner. Cassidy Nelson walked with one out in the sixth.

Interstate 35 gave Stanley a little early support. Lily Miller walked, stole second and scored on Josie Wickett’s single.

But Lenox pitcher T.J. Stoaks held her own.

“I know it didn’t look overpowering, but she had a decent rise ball and she hit

her to get into a rhythm.”

Stanley struck out two batters in the first, second, fourth and fifth innings. She struck out the side in the third, fifth and seventh.

Stanley was almost too effective for Bogs’ liking, particularly with a busy stretch of the schedule upcoming.

“I would like her maybe to not quite throw so many strikeouts. We need a few more ground ball outs, that way she’s not throwing so many strikes,” Bogs said.

When the Roadrunner defense was called on, they did make nice plays, particularly shortstop Slye Richardson.

Richardson had a nice play on a ground ball for an out, then caught a popup just in fair territory, looking directly into the sun.

Lenox had only one base

Peterson liked how the Tigers were pitching and playing defense, but could do little when the Roadrunners’ swings sent the ball to places where there was plenty of green.

“They were just finding the green, finding the gaps,” Peterson said. “That’s baseball.”

Interstate 35’s offensive outburst was more than enough for starting pitcher Sandquist. He allowed six hits in six innings, only three after the first, walked two and struck out three.

Sandquist threw 78 pitch-

her spots pretty well,” Bogs said. “We got jammed, didn’t get anything off her.”

A minor adjustment at the plate greatly aided the Roadrunners late in the game. The Roadrunners tacked onto the lead with two runs in the fourth. Shai Major doubled and scored on a Slye Richardson groundout. Riley Morris reached on a fielder’s choice, stole second and scored on an error.

Interstate 35 added a run in the fifth. The Roadrunners put the game further out of reach in the seventh with two runs.

“They executed quick. We were not able to organize fast enough,” Diaconu said about the sequence.

Creston had several looks around the goal toward the end of the first half, with Cole Higgins’ long free kick popped into the air by Graber in the final minute of the half.

Kelby Luther also played a long ball from Ben Irr toward the Gilbert goal, but Graber saved the soft shot.

Those were the two lone shots on goal for the Panthers.

The pace was slow again in the second half, but Gilbert played more wide open, and saw its efforts pay off with goals in the 52nd minute by Brandon Bloebaum and in the 75th minute on a free kick by Matthew Gannon.

Driskell likes to ply his trade in close.

“He’s definitely got better strokes and we’re both pretty good at the net, but I prefer to be at the net,” Driskell said. “I’m pretty good at lobbing it over the top.”

For Cook and Driskell, while a big accomplishment for the season is reaching state, coach Kevin Cooper wants them to stay hungry.

“They’ve got to make sure they don’t fall into the trap of I’m happy to be here, but I want to compete. I want to try to make it to day two,” Cooper said.

The Panthers will need to win two matches before they lose two matches in order to be playing on Saturday.

“Not very many teams get to day two,” Cooper said.

“It’s a real battle to get to day two.”

Winning a match is a top priority for Cook and Driskell.

“When we get to state, we’re looking to win at least one match,” Cook said. “We don’t want to go 0-2. That will put us out of the tournament. We want to get at least one win so we keep winning,

said. They already knew where they had to be and schematics of the game they went really fluid.”

Gilbert recorded its 10th shutout of the season in defeating the Panthers.

“Our defense is unbelievably solid. We rarely make mistakes,” Gilbert assistant coach Michael Hyde said.

Hyde, a graduate of Creston High School in the class of 2007, played under current Panther assistant coach Bob Irr for four years at Creston. He is currently an special education teacher and seventh-grade boys basketball coach at the intermediate school at Gilbert.

Hyde still plays some adult league soccer with the Irrs.

“I still have those ties with Creston so this was a little bit of a bittersweet type of thing, but it was really good to get off with a win and head into Des Moines Christian on Saturday.”

Creston says “so long” to seniors Tyler Peters, Dawson Smith, Brenden McDowell, m a y b e move on to Saturday.”

C o o k has seen what the state tournament experience is Cook all about, having served as a warmup partner for Ryan Kucera the past two years.

This year, Cook will be inside the fence.

“It’s going to be pretty cool,” Cook said. “It’s going to be way different being on the court, playing against high level kids up there.”

Driskell has never been able to watch the state tournament in person due to commitments with the Panther baseball team.

Playing at a state-level event will also be a new experience for him.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what it’s all about, have a little fun,” Driskell said.

The two come in with the right mindset.

“Just having fun, that will be key,” Driskell said. “We might not be the best two there, but if we play hard, have a little fun, we’ll be all right.”

Cooper wants Cook and Driskell to relax and savor the experience.

“We know we have the

a story about a picture he found recently that had Ben in it. Irr says Ben was perhaps his easiest son to coach.

“Ben is sitting there, he’s got his toys and a blanket and he’s sitting there playing on the field. That’s what he grew up with. He was just around it all the time. He’s been easy. He learned from his brothers.”

Creston finishes the season 8-9.

The 2017 Creston boys soccer team seniors pose for a photo after their final match.

From left to right, they are: Tyler Peters, Dawson Smith, Brenden McDowell, Peres Reed, Isaac Wignall, Trevor Marlin, Landon Guhse, Gavin Woods and Ben Irr.

Peres Reed, Isaac Wignall, Trevor Marlin, Landon Guhse, Gavin Woods and Ben Irr, the latter two being Wartburg signees.

Diaconu was nearly speechless when trying to put into words his thoughts on the seniors. Diaconu will not return as the Creston coach after turning in his resignation several weeks ago.

He said that he plans on keeping in touch with this

group of hard workers.

“You get attached,” Diaconu said.

Creston assistant coach Bob Irr’s time as a coach with the Panthers is likely over according to him after 20-plus years coaching soccer in some manner.

“I’m probably done. I finished a lot of seasons,” Irr said. “I’m pushing 20 years that I’ve been around it. I don’t show a lot of emotion

potential,” Cooper said.

“Once we get there, I just want the kids to play loose and have Driskell fun.”

No matter what happens this weekend, Cook and Driskell both know they will be better off for the experience heading into their senior seasons.

“When we go up to state, it will give us a better experience,” Cook said. “We’ll play higher-level kids, that way we can test our strokes and serves against them, come back and practice more for next year.”

Added Driskell: “I’m just excited to get up there, see what it’s about, prepare ourselves for next year, what we’re dealing with.”

The two come in confident after a runner-up finish at the district meet.

“Playing against higher-level kids up there, we’ve got to play our best,” Cook said. “We’ve been hitting it good, hitting good strokes and good serves. We need to attack the net.”

Cooper compared what Cook and Driskell are going through this season to what girls players Alli Thomsen and Jenna Taylor, and Cait-

lyn McIlravy and Sydney Dunphy went through as juniors in 2015. It helped them both place in the top five a season ago.

“It was such a good experience up in Ankeny,” Cooper said. “Jenna and Alli took a set off the eventual state champion, but lost the next two. It helped them to have a better year next year at the state tournament.”

Cooper knows Cook and Driskell can match up well against a number of opponents, including those from the Hawkeye 10. Atlantic’s tandem of Cooper McDermott and Grant Podhajsky and Glenwood’s pair of Adam Konfrst and Sam Lauritsen are in the field as district champions.

“We’re going to have to play our best,” Cooper said.

No matter what happens, it will be a good time for Cook and Driskell. Cooper noted the both will receive a stipend for food. Cooper buys snacks from a tennis fund, while the hotel is paid for.

The setup at Byrnes Park, with plenty of mature trees, is also ideal to relax in between matches.

“It’s the best trip for the kids,” Cooper said. They get to go on the court, get pictures, get the state banner.

It’s a great place to play. I love making the trip.”

GOOD LUCK at the 2017 Boys State Tennis Tournament

NASCAR THIS WEEK

The Daytona Beach News-Journal’s Godwin Kelly & Ken Willis have covered NASCAR for nearly 60 years combined. godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com ken.willis@news-jrnl.com

ALL-STAR RACE

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Will All-Star win start a roll for Kyle Busch?

GODSPEAK: Busch finally broke the seal. He’s going to win on a regular basis now.

KEN’S CALL: The guy wins all the time on Saturdays, and it doesn’t always translate to Sunday checkers. So, no.

Have we moved past the “need” for a 600-mile race?

GODSPEAK: No sense breaking from tradition. The race teams don’t seem to mind the extra 100 miles. Stay with it.

KEN’S CALL: Probably, but it’s a unique event and worth keeping as is. Not much is untouchable these days, but I wouldn’t mess with the Coke 600.

How much of Sunday’s 1,100 miles of racing will you watch?

GODSPEAK: The entire Indy 500. Start to finish. After that, we go to the DVR for the 600.

Projecting 700 miles total.

KEN’S CALL: I never miss the lead-up and start of Indy, but I’m in and out after that. All told, I’m guessing 750 miles.

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

With Memorial Day approaching, back to the soap-box?

Yes, it continues to boggle the mind why the NASCAR and Indy people don’t see the advantages of moving this weekend’s major events off the same day. Move either the Indy 500 or Coke 600 to Saturday and you create an easier route for racers to do the “double” and create headlines for an industry always searching for them. If it wasn’t such a logistical nightmare and a tight needle to thread, some big names would certainly be tempted to try it. Too bad.

Has the All-Star Race overstayed its welcome at Charlotte Motor Speedway? [NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/ SARAH CRABILL]

But we’ll watch anyway?

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED

Oh, yeah, especially those final 15 minutes or so before the start of the Indy 500. No one does pomp and circumstance any better. As a bonus, it seems Indianapolis might have found a permanent replacement for Jim Nabors.

For the traditional singing of “Back Home Again in Indiana,” they’re bringing in Jim Cornelison, whose classic anthem singing before Chicago Blackhawks games have made him a tenor legend. Enjoy.

1. Not 1992

2. Who’s talking?

3. Gumball tires

Charlotte Motor Speedway was hoping to capture the magic of the 1992 All-Star Race, which ended with a crash at the finish line.

Instead, the race was won by Kyle Busch, who went to the lead at the start of the 10-lap shootout and separated himself from the field. Now there’s talk of moving that race to other tracks.

Kyle Larson and Jimmie Johnson both made mention of it.

Johnson said, “There's some that argue, line us up at Bristol for an All-Star Race and we'll have the wildest night of racing.” Larson added, “It would be cool to switch it up every year.” It looks like change might be coming.

One of the interesting twists in the All-Star Race was the sticky set of tires given to each team. The gumball tires had more grip. Johnson used his set in Stage 2 to gain track position for Stage 3.

“So it just had a bit more grip and went faster for a short period of time,” Johnson said.

in regular competition. “This couldn't come at a better time for us,” Gibbs said. “As we all know, we got off to a slow start.”

Joe Gibbs Racing has notched two victories this season, but neither were regular-season Cup Series races. Denny Hamlin captured the second Can-Am Duel at Daytona, which is a qualifying race for the Daytona 500, and Busch captured last weekend’s All-Star event. JGR is 0 for 11

JIMMIE JOHNSON VS. KYLE LARSON: Larson did a slidejob pass on Johnson on the last lap to nab second-place honors in Saturday’s AllStar Race. Johnson used a “hand gesture” to show his displeasure.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: I look at it as tomorrow’s top driver getting the best of today’s top driver. “I slid Jimmie into three there on the last lap,” Larson said. “He was a little upset with me after the race.”

3. Where’s Junior?

Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 18th in the All-Star Race, his final appearance in that race with retirement looming at season’s end. In a post-race

Periscope session with fans, Earnhardt was not happy.

“You got to smile to keep from crying because that was ridiculous and pretty embarrassing,” he said. “It’s unfortunate our last All-Star Race will be memorable for how bad we ran.” Time to peek at Jimmie Johnson’s car.

NASCAR teams now have a week to switch mindsets from a no-points sprint race to Charlotte Motor Speedway’s stock-car marathon, the Coca-Cola 600. Kyle Busch won his first All-Star Race on his 12th try, and his crew chief Adam Stevens has high hopes for Sunday.

“Hopefully this is a little bit of momentum, a little bit of wind in our sails, something we can build on for next week,” he said.

Arena bomber Salman Abedi. The bomber’s father Ramadan Abedi and another brother Hashim have been detained in Libya.

As police raced to uncover the network that may have helped Abedi attack an Ariana Grande concert on Monday night, furious British officials blamed U.S. authorities Thursday for leaking details of the investigation to the media.

One British official told The Associated Press that police in Manchester have stopped sharing information about their bombing investigation with the U.S. until they get a guarantee that there will be no more leaks to the media. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

British Prime Minister Theresa May said she would discuss the leaks with President Donald Trump at a NATO summit. Upon her arrival in Brussels, May said the U.S.-British defense and security partnership is built on trust.

But she said “part of that trust is knowing that intelligence can be shared confidently.�

British officials are particularly angry that photos detailing evidence about the bomb were published in The New York Times, although it’s not clear that the paper obtained the photos from U.S. officials.

British security services are also upset that Abedi’s name was apparently leaked

by U.S. officials while British police were withholding it — and while raids were underway in Manchester and in Libya, where the bomber’s father lives.

tom� of leaks of sensitive information, calling the leaks “deeply troubling.� He said he is asking the Justice Department and other agencies to “launch a complete review of this matter.�

The New York Times defended its publication of crime-scene photographs, saying its coverage had been “both comprehensive and responsible.� “The images and information presented were neither graphic nor disrespectful of victims, and consistent with the common line of reporting on weapons used in horrific crimes,� the paper said.

May said the national threat level from terrorism remains at critical — the highest level, meaning that another attack may be imminent. Hundreds of soldiers have replaced police protecting high-profile sites including Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament in London. “The public should remain

vigilant,� May said.

Around the country, many people fell silent and bowed their heads at 11 a.m. for a minute in tribute to the bombing victims.

In Manchester’s St. Ann’s Square, where a sea of floral tributes grows by the hour, a crowd sang “Don’t Look Back in Anger� — a song by
