Epidurals now available Kronberg at GRMC named CNA,

Brantley Morrison snoozes quietly in the arms of his mother, Valerie Morrison, four days after she gave birth to him at Greater Regional Medical Center. Valerie opted for a labor epidural for his birth, which only recently became available at the local hospital.

Epidurals are now available at Greater Regional Medical Center (GRMC), allowing more pain maintenance options for local women giving birth.

GRMC is the only hospital in the area that provides obstetric care, since hospitals like CHI Health Mercy in Corning and Adair County Health System in Greenfield no longer offer the service. Other smalltown hospitals with obstetric services include Red Oak and Atlantic, as well as Maryville, Missouri.

“While a lot of small hospitals have gotten out of doing obstetrics, we’ve

got some awareness that many people in the community just assume for the obstetrical care that they have to go to Des Moines or Omaha, when we offer great, quality, personalized care in a much more convenient area,” said Dr. Kristin Bolinger, DO.

Testimonial Cody and Valerie Morrison of Creston went to GRMC for both of their children, Rylynn, 14 months, and Brantley, 8 days. Valerie was not able to have pain medication during Rylynn’s birth, but she opted for the epidural for Brantley’s.

“It’s very painful,” Valerie said of her first delivery. “Labor was only six hours long from start to finish. She (Rylynn) just

decided to come and come now. He (Brantley), on the other hand, was super slow.

I think we were in the hospital like 15 hours before he was even born.”

“MANY people in the community just assume for the obstetrical care that they have to go to Des Moines or Omaha, when we offer great, quality, personalized care in a much more convenient area.”

Originally, Valerie planned on having an intrathecal procedure, which is similar to an epidural but only last about 2-4 hours.

But, because of the rapid arrival of Rylynn, there was no time to do the shot, and both Valerie and her firstborn were also at risk for medical issues.

“Because the pain was very intense, when you push it relieves that pain, so that’s what you wanted to do. As a results of that, because she was born so fast, I ended up getting a third-degree tear,” Valerie said.

All babies are covered in mucus when they are born. Rylynn was not able to spew the mucus properly because of the rapidity of her birth, which caused her GRMC | 2A

College news Iowa State University AMES – Graduating students in Iowa State University educator preparation program have been honored to designate their rank as professional educators and included Maddison Haines of Orient.

The graduates were bestowed with cords of light blue, the traditional color of academic tassels worn by those in the field of education

receiving bachelor’s degrees, in a ceremony Friday, May 6, in Stephen’s Auditorium in Ames. Each graduate selected an influential mentor to bestow the honor to them.

The Iowa State University educator preparation program comprises students and faculty in several colleges. The program is coordinated by the School of Education in the College of Human Sciences.

GRMC:

staff have increased at Greater Regional.

Epidurals Epidurals are nothing new to the certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) at Greater Regional. Brian Gutmann, CRNA, said he and his coworkers do an average of 220 epidural steroid injections (ESIs) for chronic pain each year, a number that has increased dramatically in the past few years.

With labor epidurals available now, the only difference between ESIs and labor epidurals are women in labor will have a catheter stay in their spine to give continuous medication, rather than only getting one shot.

A labor epidural is a pain management option for women who are in the throes of labor. A catheter is put in the spine in the epidural space outside the dura mater, a membrane to help protect the spinal cord. The catheter stays there and allows a continuous flow of pain medication to the birthing mother.

Labor epidurals were not offered in the past because of the amount of manpower it takes to create a safe environment for the birthing mother.

However, anesthetists and obstetrical and gynecological

Comparisons One non-medicinal option is breathing technique, while two medicinal options are intravenous (IV) medications, which go into the bloodstream, and intrathecal services, which is similar to a labor epidural, but is pushed in past the dura mater, where the medication bathes the nerve roots.

“It wouldn’t be the right choice for everybody,” Gutmann said. “But, we’ll have both options.”

The intrathecal procedure, however, only lasts about 2-4 hours. Currently, Greater Regional averages between 60 and 70 intrathecal procedures a year, and Gutmann expects that number to increase when labor epidurals will be available because, instead of waiting until their pain is at its worst, women will opt for the intrathecal earlier in labor and then opt for a labor epidural after.

“The epidural is probably the Cadillac or gold standard of labor analgesia,” Gutmann said. “And, the intrathecal’s a real good Chevy.”

Labor epidural kits at Greater Regional include pumps, a catheter, tubing and a manual button for women to dose themselves.

“We want our local momsto-be to know that this is an option. We’re listening to them,” said LouAnn Snodgrass, Greater Regional executive director. “It’s something that’s been voiced as a concern, and we’re addressing it.”

than IV analgesia in pregnancy, because that epidural medication does not cross the placenta and then make the baby sleepy,” Gutmann said.

When a mother has IV medications, the medications affect the baby because the baby is attached by the umbilical cord to the placenta, an organ that allows nutrients in, gas exchange and waste elimination via the mother’s blood supply.

However, neither an intrathecal nor labor epidural will affect the baby because they do not cross into the blood

to stop breathing that night and hospital staff to pump her stomach of the mucus.

“With him, I didn’t have that (pain). I only had a couple stitches,” Valerie said. “It was more of a controlled birth and it let him come more slowly.”

The slower birth also meant Brantley coughed up the mucus fairly quickly, preventing further issues with his respiratory system.

“And, I didn’t have to see her lay there screaming, trying to get through it,” Cody said.

Valerie said the pain during the epidural procedure wasn’t even close to the previous birthing pain she had gone through, but once the medication kicked in, she couldn’t feel her legs and the process felt “uneventful.”

“I’m not a big pain person,” Valerie said. “I guess because it allowed for a smoother, less traumatic birthing experience than with her, it was all-around a very uneventful, laid-back kind of thing.”

ENTERTAINMENT

The social-media deal Dear Heloise: I’m on SOCIAL MEDIA much more than my husband is.

One Saturday, he asked me how I know whether a “deal” on the Internet is a good one to consider.

I told him that if I’m remotely interested in something, the first thing I do is read through many of the comments from people who did make the investment.

They give me a pretty good idea about the item.

After reading through many of the comments for an item he was considering, he told me that the consumer comments helped him decide against it. In short, the customer comments are a good place to start when considering “deals” offered on the social-media network.

SECURING POWDERED MAKEUP FOR TRAVEL Dear Readers: I travel a lot, and one of the hardest things to travel with is powdered makeup like blush, eye

Hints from Heloise shadow, pressed powder and face powder. No matter how I transported it, something always ended up cracked and crumbly.

What I finally learned, after many miles of travel and trial and error, is to cut a cotton pad or fold a tissue the size of the container and put it inside. This holds the powder down and acts as an extra barrier if it does break.

– Heloise THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX Dear Heloise: Whenever I go “junking,” I like to think creatively when it comes to common household items; I try to think of other ways to reuse them. Recently, I found an old, rusted baby swing at a garage sale that was dirt-cheap in price. It was calling out to me, saying: “Take me home. Make me useful again!”

Needless to say, I purchased it, brought it home, cleaned it up, and now it sits in one corner of my garden.

I’ve placed hanging plants on it and added some wire

Horoscope For Saturday, May 28, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful. In the next eight weeks, you might deal with disputes about shared property and inheritances. Handle these as tactfully as you can.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Fiery Mars is opposite your sign until early August. This means you will be irritated by close friends and partners.

Patience is your only recourse.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You will be gung-ho to work hard in the next few months, because you want to show others what you can do. Fortunately, you’ll have the energy to do this!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Cut yourself some slack if you find that you want to play instead of work this summer.

(Because that’s what you want to do.) Don’t worry – be a kid again!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Be patient with family members in the next few months. Increased activity at home will create chaos, which, in turn, can create domestic strife. Stay chill.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You will be quite opinionated this summer about certain things, and won’t hesitate to speak up. On the other hand, this energy will help those of you in sales, writing, marketing and acting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re determined to earn more money, which is why you will work hard this summer to make it happen. Basically, you have plans to spend it!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Fiery Mars will be in your sign until early August, boosting your energy in a big way.

Physical exercise is a good way to funnel some of this pent-up energy. Remember this.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You will be busy with all kinds of secret activities this summer. Something is going on behind the scenes; for some, it’s a passionate love affair! Woot!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Physical activity with groups will be the name of the game for you this summer.

Many of you will be competitive and keen to win! (You are such a perfectionist.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your ambition is aroused, and it will stay this way until August. You might as well use this to your best advantage.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Grab every opportunity to travel or get further education because you want to enrich your world. This increased zest for life will percolate until late August.

YOU BORN TODAY You love to begin new things.

Not only are you full of ideas,

but you are a doer. In the next three years, you will experience a time of culmination, success and financial accumulation. That’s why it is wise for you to settle your debts this year. This is a social year that deals with the repercussions of last year’s change.

Artist of the Freedom Rock Tour begins painting original in Menlo for 18th year MENLO – In honor of Memorial Day, Ray “Bubba” Sorensen is repainting the 12-foot-tall, approximately 60-ton original Freedom Rock boulder to pay tribute to military men and women.

Sorensen started painting the first week of May and plans to finish by Memorial Day. This year’s front side of the Freedom Rock is in honor of those who have given their life in service to our country.

An eagle is pulling a ribbon over the Marines that reads, “We don’t know them all, but we owe them all.”

The south side features the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, including a Pearl Harbor Veteran who the artist personally knows, Clarence Pfundheller. Pfundheller was serving aboard the USS Maryland, also on the rock, on Dec. 7, 1941.

The back side on the east is World War II veteran and last war chief of the Crow tribe of Montana, Joe Medicine Crow.

While serving as a scout for the 103rd Infantry in Europe, Crow completed certain tasks to become chief of the tribe which included successfully commanding a war party entering an enemy camp at night and stealing a horse, wrestling a weapon away from his enemy and touching the first enemy fallen, without killing him.

Crow died on April 3 at the age of 102.

On the north side is a Huey helicopter painted with green paint containing the ashes of fallen Vietnam veterans.

Above that will be a piece honoring the A-10 Warthog and pilot Kim Campbell, who managed to fly her A-10 back to base after braving intense enemy anti-aircraft fire. Also in-

cluded will be Medal of Honor recipient SP4 Leslie H. Sabo Jr. who distinguished himself May 10, 1970, in Se San, Cambodia.

It is Sorensen’s 18th year painting the original Freedom Rock, and his fourth year on the Freedom Rock Tour across Iowa. He will also begin work next year on the start of the 50 State Freedom Rock Tour.

Sorensen is not commissioned for his work on the original Freedom Rock in Menlo, but works as an independent mural artist for the Iowa Freedom Rock Tour.

Sorensen is only able to complete about ten rocks per year due to scheduling and weather. At this time, Sorensen is booked into the 2020 year.

“I always say I have three goals with the Freedom Rock Tour and that is to honor America’s veterans, promote Iowa tourism and provide for my family,” Sorensen said.

The Freedom Rock Tour is

National Digest

Moose to DL KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals placed third baseman Mike Moustakas on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with a torn ACL in his right knee.

Such injuries usually sideline a player for a long period. Moustakas said he will seek a second opinion on the injury.

“We’re still talking with the doctor, get a second opinion, see where we’re at,” Moustakas said.

“You can’t rule anything out. I just want to go out there and be healthy and get prepared to play baseball again. That’s where I’m at right now.”

General manager Dayton Moore said surgery is a likely option.

Moustakas and left fielder Alex Gordon collided Sunday while chasing a fly ball in Chicago.

Gordon went on the disabled list Monday with a right wrist fracture.

The Royals will take on the first-place White Sox without two key hitters in the lineup.

Moustakas, a 2015 AllStar, was hitting .240 with seven home runs and 13 RBIs in 27 games. It is Moustakas’ second trip to the disabled list in May after missing three weeks with a broken left thumb.

Warriors survive OAKLAND, Calif. — “We’re not going home! We’re not going home!” Stephen Curry screamed at the top of his lungs.

No, his Golden State Warriors are going back to Oklahoma City, after keeping their title reign and the winningest season in NBA history alive for at least one more game.

Curry scored 31 points, raising his arms in the early moments to awaken Golden State’s raucous crowd, and the defending champions staved off elimination with a 120-111 victory over the Thunder on Thursday night in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals.

For all the speculation about the current state of Curry’s beat-up body — that troublesome ankle, sore knee or tender elbow — he did it all.

n Creston girls golfers ready for first appearance at big show since 1999.

Throughout the years, Creston/Orient-Macksburg girls golf coach Jan Lesan has worked to shape and grow the game of the players who’ve c o m e t h r o u g h Lesan her program.

She has helped hundreds of girls, as well as boys, become better players on the course, and fine-tune their skills.

Tuesday and Wednesday she will help individuals out one more time, this time on the biggest stage in prep girls golf.

The Creston/Orient-Macksburg girls golf team makes its return to the state tournament for the first time since 1999 when play tees up at Coldwater Golf Links in Ames.

Play is set to begin at 9 a.m. both days.

“Jan’s put a lot of work into making each one of us better,” said senior Camryn Somers. “She’s just awesome.”

Lesan’s impact isn’t just on the course.

“She’s not only good for us in golf, she’s making us better people and doing what’s right,” Somers said.

Returning to state is memorable for the team, but even more so knowing they’re sending their coach out on a high note.

“It’s extremely special,” Somers said. “She definite-

ly deserves it as much as we do, if not more.”

Lesan’s work extends well beyond just when the players are on the course.

“She’s put in a ton of work, a ton of time behind the scenes that people don’t

see,” said assistant coach Ryan McKim. “She’s been a staple of Creston golf for a long time.”

McKim hopes this state tournament isn’t Lesan’s last hurrah with the program.

“I’m hoping she stays around and volunteers,” McKim said. “She loves the game.

“She’s been a big reason why Creston golf has been so good for so many years.”

Cooper rises to occassion Senior keeps mood lighthearted, steps up on course. n

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD— Nodaway Valley senior Noah Cooper keeps the mood light amongst the Nodaway Valley boys golf team.

Before meets, he can be frequently found working to keep his teammates smiling, relaxed.

When it comes time to perform, Cooper and the rest of the Wolverines are all business.

It’s that mixture of light-hearted fun and seriousness that has helped spark the Wolverines back to the state tournament for the first time since 2003.

The Wolverines look to make the most of their opportunity at state when play tees off today in Marshalltown. Play today started at 10:30 a.m., with Saturday’s action set to start at 8 a.m. at the American Legion Golf Course in Marshalltown.

“I like to keep it fun,”

Cooper said. “I play jokes, make sure everybody’s smiling, everybody’s having a good time.”

Cooper has done his part to make sure the team is ready to go mentally.

“The unsung hero is Noah Cooper,” said Noadway Valley coach Steve Shantz.

“He lighten things up.

Makes sure nobody gets too serious.”

They all take turns keeping the mood light. On a recent afternoon, it was Spencer Lamb’s turn to crack the jokes.

“We’re all a close-knit group,” Cooper said. “You

can call a friend and they’ll golf with you.

That’s a big thing.

T h a t doesn’t h a p p e n Cooper usually.

We go out and play together. We have a lot of fun.”

But it’s on the course where Cooper also has come through for his team.

Cooper had barely picked up a club before reporting to practice at the start of his freshman season.

Since then, Cooper has

come around in a big way.

“He’s taken it more seriously, as serious as Noah can be,” Shantz said. “His freshman year, he was not very good. He’s chipped away at it, got better.”

Cooper’s growth on the course has shown.

“He’s set some goals for himself this year to shoot a certain score,” Shantz said.

“Noah’s done a heck of a job.”

Cooper is able to cap his high school sports career at state. He’ has also been a part of state-tournament NV | 11A

Meet the new CNA sports team Welcome to Kronberg’s Korner A Bobcat comes to Iowa It’s wild where life takes you, what paths God choses to bring you down.

If life has taught me anything the past several years, it’s to expect the unexpected.

It’s about the only logical conclusion to explain why I’ve found myself here in Southwest Iowa, penning words, taking pictures, composing tweets and laying out pages here at the News Advertiser and our sister paper the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune.

If I’ve learned anything, hopefully, it’s what you might have planned isn’t what God has planned for you.

Little did I know that some 13 years ago when I came to Creston for the

Kronberg first time to see my best friend from Northwestern College in Orange City marry a Creston girl, the former Courtney Seitz, now Brinks, at First Baptist Church, that I’d call Creston home at

some point.

There’s been some wild, crazy detours along the way I couldn’t have seen coming in the spring of 2011 when I was comfortably entrenched in Charles City as sports editor at the paper there.

There’s been some days where I’ve had to lean on my faith in Christ as hard as possible, trust that there’s a point to everything I went through the past five years.

I have to trust and pray there was a purpose for everything I went through.

Regardless, I’d like to think I’ve come through all the experiences stronger for going through it.

I’ve learned plenty at the KORNER | 9A

“What makes you want to go all the way out there?”

“What’s in Iowa?”

“Kaleb Ohiowa Carter” Friends and family seemed to have some peculiar thoughts about me picking up and leaving Ohio to head for Creston. As a recent college graduate of Ohio University (Athens, OH which is in the southeast part of the state and is definitely not Ohio State), this Bobcat was primed and ready to get out and hone my writing abilities. Whether that was going to be in journalism, the nonprofit field, curating social media or whatever, I was rearing to get out and step into the next adventure in life.

I visited Creston a little over a week after classes let

Carter out, where I was also on my way to another job interview and visit in Nebraska.

Low and behold, upon being in Creston city limits for five minutes I had perked up after a six-hour drive from Chicago that started

around 5:00 a.m. It was early afternoon on a Tuesday.

All felt right in Creston, IA, USA. Maybe it sounds a little corny, but I felt at home almost immediately.

After an incredibly nice visit to another newspaper, I made the trek back from the western part of Nebraska all the way back to Des Moines. That’s Creston to western Nebraska to Des Moines in one day. I had a lot of time to think about my prospective future. I must have called eight or nine people over those few hours. My gut told me where I should go. I came back through Chicago again to stay with a cousin and meet a friend. They BOBCAT | 9A

Area softball MURRAY — Three big innings powered Albia past Murray 10-6 Tuesday in softball play at Murray.

The Lady Dees scored two each in the second and third.

Murray countered for three in the fourth, but Albia answered with five in the fifth. The Lady Dees added one more in the sixth.

Murray tallied two in the sixth and one in the seventh.

The Mustangs committed six errors. “We were disappointed in our effort on defense,� said Murray coach Danny Jensen.

The Mustangs could learn plenty from it. “It was just not our night,�

Jensen said. “We told the kids it is just one game in a long season. We are looking forward to our next game.�

Murray was held to four hits. Kelli Romero had a double and drove in a pair.

Bre Klein allowed nine runs, six earned, five hits, walked six and struck out nine. “It was feast or famine,�

Jensen said.

Kayla Wookey allowed one run, and struck out three in the final two innings.

Murray fell to 1-1. The

Mustangs are at Diagonal Friday.

Mount Ayr 16, East Mills 1 MALVERN — Mount Ayr’s offense erupted in the first inning, leading to a 161, four-inning win over East Mills Tuesday in Malvern.

The Raiderettes led 8-0 after one-half inning. They added two in the second, a run in the third and five more in the fourth.

East Mills’ lone run came in the first.

Macy Larsen had three hits, including a triple, drove in three and scored three runs.

Megan Warin had Larsen two hits, including a triple, drove in three and scored twice.

Sam Stewart had a hit, drove in a pair and scored twice. Caroline McAlexander had two hits, including a double, and scored two runs. Sam McGill had a hit and scored twice.

The Raiderettes’ season-opener went according to plan according to coach

Bret Ruggles. “For our first night out, we saw a lot of good things,� he said.

Mount Ayr finished with 10 hits. “We hit the ball hard and forced them into some tough spots, which made for errors,� Ruggles said.

The Raiderettes also had five stolen bases. “Our girls ran the bases fairly well for not being able to practice that stuff due to state track, so that is an area that we can improve on,�

Ruggles said.

Still, there was much good to take away from opening night. “For our fight night out, we did really well,� Ruggles said.

Tess Shields scattered four hits and struck out eight in four innings for Mount Ayr.

tell by the work she’s put in.

It’s shown since we’ve qualified. No question it means a lot to her.”

Lesan deflected credit for how this year’s team has performed.

“It’s a great feeling to be out there, but it’s not about me,” Lesan said. “It’s about the girls.”

This season’s team set high expectations for themselves.

“They’re consistent in their goals they set,” Lesan said. “They’re very reachable. That’s what I’m focusing on.”

Creston/O-M’s crew came into this season coming off a third place finish at the regionals a season before.

Returning to state was well within the Panthers’ expectations for this season.

“We knew we were very good at the beginning,” Lesan said.

Maturing on the course has been a key component to the Panthers’ success.

“It was getting everybody’s confidence up, getting through the doubts in their minds,” Lesan said.

The Panthers matured as the postseason came around.

“There’s no doubt in my mind we’re peaking at the right time,” Lesan said. “We wanted to peak at the end of May, at regionals. We had four very consistent scores and we beat people.”

Creston/O-M’s girls golf team was disappointed with how last season ended, finishing third at regionals.

Coming into this season, the expectations were raised for the team.

The Panthers weathered the ups and downs that came their way this season.

Most importantly, they stepped up their games when needed at Monday’s regional tournament.

After 17 seasons of not being there as a team, the Panthers are back at state.

“Last year, we started out better but did not finish very well,” Somers said. “This year our goal was to peak at the right time. We definitely did that.”

Last year’s disappointment fueled their growth this season. Often, the girls could be found working to improve their games.

“They were driven,” Le-

“WE’VE DONE it all year. They can do it. I believe they can do it.”

san said. “It did not take any encouragement to get them out on the golf course. They would stay late on the range, do this, do that.”

They were out at the course so much that meal times would be passed over to play.

“Sometimes we had to force them off the course,” Lesan said. “We had to make sure they were eating.”

Even when conditions were less than ideal for golf, they’d still be playing, improving.

“It didn’t matter the type of weather, they would be out there,” Lesan said. “ T h e y would play in anything.”

Senior Madison H a n c e Hance and sophomore Ashton Carter have taken turns being the top player.

“They know what the expectations are, how to handle it,” Lesan said. “Ashton can play as well as anybody.”

All six are regulars at the golf course.

“These kids have been brought up on the golf course,” Lesan said. “They have the knowledge, understanding and competition that comes from families playing too.”

Chemistry between the six has made them even stronger.

“They’ve had a lot of laughter,” Lesan said.

“They’re supping each other quite a bit. One person can have a bad day and they will support them. They all want to do better.”

There have been seasons where only three girls played on the team.

Having enough to make for a full squad this season makes the run to state even more enjoyable.

“When you only have three players and not have a team, you know you can go as individuals so you don’t want to spoil anything for individual kids, but it’s so much more fun to go as a team,” Lesan said. “They giggle all the time. They just have a good time.”

Lesan credits the work of McKim and fellow assistant Jon Thomson for the team’s improvements.

“Mr. McKim has worked on the short game. Mr. Thomson works on the fairway shots. They do just a lot of work,” Lesan said.

“They’ve been tremendous.”

All three coaches work with the girls to form a strong bond with the team.

“We do it differently. We

Panther notes • Creston’s girls golf team will be participating in the Class 4A state girls golf tournament.

• The tournament will be held Tuesday, May 31, and Wednesday, June 1, at Coldwater Golf Links in Ames. Play will begin at 9 a.m. both days with a shotgun start.

• Admission is free.

• Players are paired with other players of the same playing position when possible on day one.

Day two pairings are based on day one scores. Golfers will not be assigned with another player from their school.

have the same message,” Lesan said. “We tell them to keep their heat down, keep cool, keep their emotions under control. We don’t yell at them. If they have a bad score, it’s not criticized. Let’s practice, get back to work and get back at it.”

Coldwater Golf Links, located just east of Jack Trice Stadium, features a wideopen layout that will greatly test the Panthers.

“You’re going to have to place your shots,” Lesan said. “You’re going to have to have a gameplan.

You have have to hit shots you want to hit to get to the green.”

They all played a practice round on Thursday and will do so again this weekend.

Knowing the layout ahead of the state meet will be key.

“You’ve got to know what you’re going to do,” Lesan said. “You’ve got to place it right where you need it too (off the tee). The second shot is important. You have to keep it out of the sandtraps.

There’s some sand traps you have to go over. There’s some sand you definitely do not want to be in.”

The course poses challenges the players have not consistently seen all season, yet that hasn’t dampered their enthusiasm for state.

“It’s definitely different than what we’re used to,” Somers said. “We’re excited for it.”

Creston/Orient-Macksburg comes into state having posted the second-best qualifying score at regionals.

They’re psyched for the opportunity to finish the season well.

“The excitement’s there,” Lesan said. “The pressure’s on them. We have to deal with it. They need to do the same thing they’ve done all year.

“They get to go out and play a great golf course.

They need to keep their head down, breathe, trust our swings. We’ve done it all year. They can do it. I believe they can do it.”

stops I’ve been at through my career, through a couple of stops in northwest Iowa, two more in Charles City and one in Muscatine.

I can’t wait to see how those lessons learned at those stops are able to manifest themselves here in Creston.

I know there’s an awesome foundation to build on here at the News Advertiser.

I’ve know Larry Peterson for a long time, our paths having crossed many times at various times along the road, whether at a state-level sporting event, all-state meetings or even at last season’s Iowa and Nebraska football game in Lincoln. He’s a pro’s pro. It will be awesome to have him around to help me learn the ropes, especially the names, here as I begin.

The same goes with Scott Vicker, our paths having crossed plenty of times, whether in Des Moines for state track and wrestling or other places. It will be exciting to learn, grow from his guidance and direction, talk plenty about our mutual appreciation for the baseball Cardinals. I can’t wait to see what the future holds under his direction.

There’s the other half of the new sports team as well.

I’m excited to work with Kaleb Carter as we work to put together the best possible sports section possible each and every night. He’s got a bright future in this industry and has already shown plenty of promise here in his first few days.

knew where I should go, my gut knew where I should go but the internal strife I was experiencing was all-too palpable.

I talked the possibilities over with friends after a wonderful graduation party. They too could tell where my heart was torn toward at that point.

Iowa it was, and now is.

In just a few days of being here, I have already met several prominent local sports figures that have left me progressively more excited over the time I have been here.

Here I am, covering sports for a living. 16-year-old me would be beaming. I’m beaming as I write this.

A little background on me though, just so local residents know who you have to deal with. This quirky (overused, I know), pro-wrestling obsessed, mid-major basketball-worshipping, spongebob-quoting, anime-watching sonofagun is here to stay.

I hail from southwestern Ohio situated somewhat between Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus. My hometown, though I lived out in the country, was a small little blip on

I’m excited to meet many of you all here in the near future, interact with our student-athletes, coaches, parents and patrons here in Creston and the surrounding area at games and in the community.

On a personal level, I’m thrilled to be here. Creston is a central location to many family and friends I have in eastern Nebraska, Des Moines and greater Kansas City.

With my brother and his wife expecting their first child this fall, my first niece/ nephew, I’m rather stoked about being within an easy drive to their home in central Kansas City, Mo. I can’t wait to make trips to spoil it, teach it the glorious ways of what it means to be a Nebraska fan.

My grandma also lives in the southwest Kansas City, KS, suburbs, and with her being the last of my grandparents still around, I hope to see her when time allows.

My parents still live in my hometown of Stromsburg, NE. It will be nice to be able to ‘go home’ when time allows, particularly with them still in good health.

There’s a dark side of me.

Having grown up an hour northwest of Lincoln, I’m a die-hard, through-andthrough Nebraska fan. I’ve been through the years of glory, suffered a bit here the past few years, hoping for the return to the days of championships. It will be great to be within an easy drive of Memorial Stadium, Pinnacle Bank Arena and Haymarket Park, be able to cheer on the Huskers in person when time

allows.

Besides the Huskers, I actively follow the baseball and football Cardinals, baseball in general, the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs, and just sports in general. I have, and will watch just about any sports, whether in person or on TV. I also can’t wait to dive into the local coffee shops, help cure my crippling and completely incurable addiction to all things java-related. If I’m not at a ballpark, gym, or other athletic venue either covering games for the paper or watching for fun, or a place such as the Southern Prairie YMCA working out, I’m sure to be found looking for a great cup of coffee.

There’s other adventures to embark on, such as finding a church home, trails to explore on my bicycle or on foot and so on. I can’t wait to see what and where they all take me.

As this new adventure begins, I’m excited to see what the Lord has in store, what journeys I’ll take.

I look forward to bringing you all quality sports coverage night in and night out, what you have come to expect from Scott, Larry and company over the years. I hope to build on that legacy, make it even stronger.

So here’s to a new start, a fresh adventure.

May all the pitches be strikes and the hits be home runs.

Cheers.

the map called Jamestown. It was 1,700 people strong, and there I attended Greeneview High School and graduated with 98 others in my senior class.

Though just a few years separated from that time, (and it feels like almost a decade at this point), I still recall fondly my K-12 years. Especially so in the world of sports.

I was a three-sport a year type of kid whose motor was always running. I ran my parents ragged. I played baseball, basketball, football and soccer competitively at some point. From the age of five to 18, I was at almost every point an active student-athlete.

As an Ohio University student, I had the opportunity to cover prep and collegiate sports, coach high school football at Alexander High School in Albany, OH, blog about sports voraciously at hustlebelt.com (and for a year up until recently at midmajormadness.com). Longer than anything, I wrote about politics and curated social media and research for an online student publication called The New Political.

In my time growing over 22 years I have been blessed to be surrounded by amazing people and family. How I be-

came so lucky I don’t know, I’m not questioning it.

Though I had options at my disposal in terms of a chosen career path, I knew one thing.

My heart will always be ecstatic and field with passion when I surround myself with sports.

What the future holds for me is anyone’s guess, but for the foreseeable future I am privileged to be covering prep and SWCC athletics. How lucky am I? I get to jump right into a field that I went to college for. Not everyone is so lucky.

Having already spent a few nights in the newsroom.

I have already had a moment of clarity of sorts. One night I was in here and it was late.

I was experiencing technical troubles with one of the computers. I could have been frustrated. That’s a pretty natural state for me. Instead I found myself smiling. Creston feels just right so far and I sincerely look forward to meeting every person and taking on every challenge Iowa sends my way.

qualifying teams in cross country and basketball.

“It’s great I made to state last sport I needed too,” he said. “I made state in all of the sports I competed in. It’s a great feeling.”

Cooper and his three fellow seniors, along with freshman are regulars at the Greenfield Country Club.

Cooper estimates they play anywhere from three to five times a week in the summer.

“We’ll put in a lot of time on the course,” Cooper said.

They play even after practice. On the day the seniors let out of school, the four of them went out and played 36 holes.

“They’ve grown up on the course together. They’ve been on and off the course together,” Shantz said.

“They have cohesion.”

What makes the team strong is their ability to bolster each other when one isn’t having the best of days.

“They know if somebody’s having a bad day, somebody is going to be there to pick them up,” Shantz said. “They know their teammates are going to be battling to shoot a good score.”

All five have helped drive each other to excel.

“It’s preparation. It’s the competitive spirit of our kids. It’s the same with some of our other teams,” Shantz said. “We don’t have the depth of other teams. It’s hard when you’re not winning to keep on the grind like other teams. They push themselves to make shots, make putts. That helps them when they’ve got somebody else there for them.”

The five have learned how to compete in other sports, all playing at least one other sport.

“They’re all competitors.

They’re all multi-sport athletes. They know what it is to compete. They’ve been doing it all year.”

es,” Shantz said. “It seemed like it wasn’t as tight as Bos Landen. It can be forgiving in places. It sets up nice for us.”

The Wolverines shot their lowest score of the season, taking care of one of their losses in the process in besting Griswold.

“We’re going up there to win it all,” Shantz said.

He knows they’ll need solid efforts across the board.

“It’s going to take a team effort,” Shantz said. “We have to have four scores come in and count. We’re going to count on four of the five kids.”
