MEMORIAL DAY

Alliant Energy discusses rate increase at public meeting

Avenue of flags: American flags wave in the breeze Monday morning at Graceland Cemetery. The flags, which

were installed by Creston firefighters, lined the many roads and walkways at the cemetery and fluttered in the wind during the Memorial Day service.

OSCEOLA — The Iowa Utilities Board held a public comment meeting Wednesday in Osceola regarding a proposed base rate increase

by Alliant Energy-Interstate Power and Light Company (Alliant-IPL).

The new rates would raise residential bills an average of 12.5 percent, or $14.26 per month, and commercial rates an average of 11.6 percent, or $33.04 per month.

Though few people attended, comments were equally split in support and in opposition of the request.

Creston retiree Karen Walter said the increase is too large and comes at a time when many expenses are on the rise.

“Our property taxes have gone up, our water and sewer have gone up ... and now this is going up 12.5 percent.

Maybe it would be more palatable if it was, say, 4 or 5, but 12.5 is a lot,” said Walter. “I know $14 doesn’t sound like a lot, but Social Security is not going to raise my monthly amount by 12.5 percent.”

Woodburn resident Bob Nixon agreed and called Alliant to task on recent RATES | 2A

WASHINGTON (AP) — A top White House communications staffer has resigned as President Donald Trump considers a major staff overhaul.

The departure of Michael Dubke, Trump’s communications director, comes as aides say Trump has grown increasingly frustrated by allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and revelations of possible ties between his campaign and Moscow.

Trump tweeted Tuesday: “Russian officials must be

laughing at the U.S. & how a lame excuse for why the Dems lost the election has taken over the Fake News.”

Dubke wrote in a statement that it had been an honor to serve Trump and “my distinct pleasure to work side-by-side, day-byday with the staff of the communications and press departments.”

Dubke’s last day has not yet been determined.

DEATHS Jeanne Herzberg Creston

Jeanne Herzberg (Helen Jeanette) of West Des Moines went home to be with her Lord on May 28, 2017.

Jeanne w a s b o r n May 26, Herzberg 1930, in Oak Park, Illinois, the daughter of Harlan and Vivian (Thurber) Heath. She is survived by many who will cherish her memory, her husband of 62 years, Lawrence Herzberg of West Des Moines; sister, Sandra (Kenneth) Marquardt of Missouri Valley; children, Sandi Adams of Independence, Missouri, Drs. MeriBeth and Scott Stegall of McDonough, Georgia, Bruce and Beth Herzberg of Afton and Vivian Herzberg of West Des Moines; grandchildren, Atrea Rackley, the Rev. Martin (Diana) Herzberg, Luke Herzberg, Amanda Herzberg, Chloe Stegall and Camilla Stegall; great-grandchildren, Aryen McDonald and James Rackley, Grace and Noelle Jeanne Herzberg; as well as many nieces, nephews and very dear friends.

She was preceded in death by an infant daughter Constance Marie, her parents and son-in-law Dub (WJ) Adams.

At the age of six, she moved with her family to Missouri Valley, where she graduated from high school at age 16 and then attended Huron College, majoring in music. In 1951, she graduated from Jennie Edmundson Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. Ever intellectually curious, Jeanne completed an undergraduate degree in public administration in 1979, and a master’s degree in counseling psychology in 1986.

Her first position as a registered nurse led her to Clarinda Municipal Hospital, where she delighted in working in labor and delivery. In Clarinda, Jeanne met the love of her life, Lawrence Herzberg, and they married Aug. 10, 1954.

Together they created a loving home where they raised their four children. Active with her children’s activities, she helped to form and lead a 4-H club for neighborhood girls so they could learn “to make the best better.” Jeanne modeled a life of love, devotion

and service, liberally seasoned with humor from her quick wit and a twinkle from her sparkling blue eyes.

As hobbies, Jeanne loved and collected nativities, read widely and avidly and enjoyed varied crafts from needlework to ceramics. Her healing touch extended to the dolls which she restored in her Doll-e-Well Doll Hospital. She loved to knit and crochet. Over many years, she and Lawrence created treasured ceramic Santa Claus collections and nativity scenes for each child and grandchild.

In the mid-1960s, Jeanne became a nurse educator, first as an instructor in the Iowa Western (Clarinda) practical nursing program and then developing the practical nursing program at Southwestern Community College in Creston, serving as its first director. In later years, Jeanne was instrumental in the development of Green Valley Hospice in Creston, serving on the initial task force and as its first executive director.

Whatever Jeanne did in her life, she did for her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Always active in her congregation, Jeanne was a member of Immanuel and St. John Lutheran congregations in Clarinda and Trinity Lutheran Church in Creston. Jeanne loved working with children and helped establish the Trinity Lutheran Preschool, serving as its first director. Whether teaching Sunday school, directing the choir, serving in the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League, the Altar Guild, Naomi Circle or on the prayer chain, participating as an AAL Lamplighter or leading a Lifelight Bible study, Jeanne used the many gifts God gave her in His service.

Funeral services will be held noon Thursday, June 1, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 800 N. Sumner Ave., in Creston. Visitation with the family will be from 11 a.m. to noon Thursday at the church. Graveside services will be 4 p.m. at Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery, 1614 P Ave., in Clarinda. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations instead be made to the nativity fund or the preschool at Trinity Lutheran Church, 800 N. Sumner Ave., Creston, Iowa 50801. Online condolences may be given at www.powersfh.com.

Ages 11-14 will be a part of the Rising Stars Drama Camp run by Laura Granger and Danielle Dickinson, CCHS Instructors. All proceeds of the camp will go to the CCHS speech and drama department.

The camp will not only feature more ages, it will also have more opportunities for kids to find involvement.

“For the camp, we are trying to incorporate not just theatre stuff, but trying to do a little more s p e e c h Granger t e a m related things,” said Granger.

Darrel was preceded in death by his parents and his four brothers. teaching drama. Granger just finished her eleventh year teaching and second year at CCHS. “I’ve never hosted a drama camp, so I’m taking a lot of tutelage and lead from Kelly Franklin,” said Granger.

“I thought this would be a great way for (Granger) to get them into drama and speech in high school,” said Franklin.

Some of Granger’s current and former students will also be helping with the camp.

“Some of those seniors are coming back and they’re pretty excited about being able to teach that,” added Granger.

Both camps will run from June 26 to June 29 with a final performance at the end of the camp. That performance will be 7 p.m. June 29 and is open to anyone in the community.

All four days of the camp will run for two and a half hours from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

The Rising Stars Drama Camp will cost attendees $40 but sponsorship are available to five students courtesy of PCSB Bank.

Witnesses keep injured man from drowning in ditch COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — Authorities say witnesses to a crash off Interstate 80 in Council Bluffs kept a car driver from drowning in a ditch.

The accident was reported around 9:45 p.m. Saturday near the South 24th Street exit. The Council Bluffs Police Department says the driver lost control of his car, grazed a road sign, struck a light pole and

then ran off the roadway, coming to rest in the ditch.

Police say the car was submerged in waist-deep water, but witnesses had rushed to help the driver keep his head out of the water. First responders soon arrived to remove him from the wreckage, treat him and take him to a hospital.

The name of the 54-yearold Council Bluffs resident hasn’t been released.

problems.

“Some of the issues that Alliant has had with billing in the last year,” said Nixon, “they need to get their ducks in a row before asking for more money.”

Alliant-IPL executives said the increase is necessary to pay for improvements made to infrastructure over the past six years.

“This is the first time in six years that we have adjusted the base rates,” said Alliant-IPL President Doug Kopp. “Our request is about the $2.5 billion we have invested in the power grid in Iowa since 2010. On average, our customers are seeing 25 percent fewer outages, and each outage is, on average, 30 percent shorter.

An example of this is our recent work on a transformer in the north part of Osceola. Our work on this transformer cost about $700,000.”

Kopp said recent improvements were also made in Creston, to the tune of $2.1 million.

In addition, Alliant-IPL has invested $645 million into the Marshalltown Generating Station, a 650-megawatt power station run on natural gas. The result is clean energy capable of powering up to 500,000 homes, according to the company. The facility is a model for energy efficiency — the only Iowa structure to win the Envision Platinum Award— sharply reducing emissions while making it easier to put solar and wind-generated power to use.

“We built this on time and under budget, and it is operating more efficiently than expected,” said Kopp.

“It’s the energy of the future. It’s worth the rate hike,” said attendee Ron Prymek of the Laborers Union of Central, Local 177. “I know Alliant brings jobs — and good paying jobs — to Iowa.”

“This opportunity is great for our veterans who come back that’s joining our local (union). It’s putting the men and women to work out in the field. We support it 100 percent,” said fellow union field rep Harold Davis.

Ken Sagar, president of

the Iowa Federation of Labor, lauded Alliant Energy for employing 2,200 Iowans, including 66 in South Central Iowa, as well as the company’s lucrative partnerships with local contractors and Alliant’s history of community service. The increase in rates, he said, would benefit more than just the electric company.

However, opponents pointed out the increases would filter down negatively, too.

“That’s a concern for me,” said Shannon Erb of the Decatur County Development Corporation. “Our residents will not only have to deal with the rate increase of electricity at their home but also the trickle down increase from our businesses.”

According to Erb, Decatur County is the poorest in Iowa and there’s no doubt an increase in commercial electrical rates will impact prices.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, May 30, 2017

Am I going to live through the next roll?

Editor’s note: This is the fourth guest column by Kyle Wilson. His columns normally publish in the Creston News Advertiser on the fourth Tuesday of every month.

I have a story for you.

It’s the kind of story you might consider sharing with your son, daughter or grandchild before summer starts. It’s a story that involves me and another young man named Matt Serefko.

Matt was a promising third-baseman from Bellevue, Nebraska, and I was a hometown kid playing outfield for the Southwestern Community College baseball team in the fall of 2004. We became friends shortly after he arrived on campus his freshman year.

One weekend, we made plans to drive to Davenport and watch the Spartan volleyball team. I swung by his dorm that Saturday — out he strolled packing a fresh can of chew in one hand and compact disc (CD) in the other.

We were off.

We started driving east on Highway 34 and, shortly after passing the Afton turnoff, I inquired about the CD on his lap. It was music from one of his favorite bands — an Omaha-based rock band called 311.

At this time, we’re following a truck being driven by a man with white hair. He has no passengers. Ahead of the truck is a middle-aged female driving a car, delivering mail that day to rural customers.

Matt inserts the CD and the first song starts playing.

We’re now driving down a fairly steep hill. The mail carrier starts reducing speed as we descend down the hill, but because of the dirt covering the tail lights the white-haired man can’t see which way she’s turning. He passes her on the left side. I follow.

The mail carrier turns north — not south like he’d thought — and almost clips the back of his truck.

In Transit Kyle Wilson staff writer

Shocked, she hits the brakes.

That leaves Matt and I traveling about 65 miles per hour downhill directly toward her. I’ll never forget the fear in her eyes.

I had no time to stomp the brakes. So, I jerk the wheel left.

We strike the front fender of her car, which sends my red Ford Ranger airborne. Neither of us are wearing a seat belt.

My Ranger never touches the ground during the first rotation.

The force slings Matt through his passenger window. I hear him break the glass. He later predicts he was tossed 12 feet into the air.

I remain in the Ranger, now rolling sideways down Highway 34. My head smashes against the windshield. My jaw makes a cracking sound when I strike the passenger floorboard. I remember thinking, “Am I going to live through the next roll?”

All the while, “What condition is Matt in?”

Four rolls later, my truck lands on all four wheels, in the opposite lane, facing the opposite direction.

My truck is no longer running, but the speakers still work. The eerie sound of 311 fills the crash scene.

I come to rest in the half-cab area of my Ranger. Time to find Matt.

He’s lying motionless on the gravel.

His eyes are open, thank God, when I arrive.

I ask, “Where do you hurt Matt?”

He points to his butt. Remember that fresh can of chew from earlier? It was flatter than a flapjack in his back left pocket. I do notice blood coming from his left hip.

Out of the corner of my eye, I now see the mail carrier running toward us with her arms extended.

She’s a mess of emotions as she gives me a hug. She’s uncontrollable as she talks with Matt.

First responders are now on the scene. Law enforcement is directing traffic.

My adrenaline is pumping at alltime levels as I pace up and down the highway. A nurse named Dustie begins walking with me while responders examine Matt’s injuries. She listens to my ramblings.

She doesn’t ask probing questions.

I can tell she just wants to be a source of comfort.

They begin loading Matt on a stretcher. It’s time for me to leave. We take an ambulance back to Greater Regional Medical Center. The laceration near his hip requires cleaning and staples. Remarkably, I walked out of the emergency room that day with nothing more than sore muscles and a week’s worth of glass in my hair.

The unfortunate thing: I didn’t realize until probably 7 years later that most people don’t get to walk away from an accident like that.

I spent four years writing news for the Creston News Advertis-

Contributed photo

This is a picture of my truck at F&M Body Shop in Creston shortly after my rollover crash on Highway 34, a few miles east of Afton. The truck rolled sideways four times. A friend of mine was ejected from the vehicle, but did survive the crash.

er. I covered more than a half dozen fatality accidents during that span. Many of them were on Highway 34. I now know how incredibly lucky we were that day.

And I share this story, in hopes, you realize how quickly bad decisions turn fatal. Do yourself a favor. Don’t text and drive. Wear

your seatbelt and don’t get behind the wheel after consuming too much alcohol.

Stay safe out there this summer CNA readers.

HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

O.J. Simpson is up for parole in July from the Nevada state prison where he’s been playing first base for the Aryan Nations softball team.

What an image makeover. Twenty years ago, O.J. was shunned in Los Angeles as a wife killer, and today he is the Jackie Robinson of Nazi League Softball.

The Comedy Store crowd enjoyed my pratfall when I slammed my shin into a side-stage chair Friday, cutting it open. I tied off the bleeding, poured alcohol on the gash, coated it in Neosporin, then sealed it with a large band-aid. I get better results and lower co-pays when I do my own surgeries.

Alabama’s governor signed a bill Friday that prevents city mayors from removing Confederate statues. It’s not over. A Democrat just found the scripture in Luke in which Jesus told slaves to be obedient slaves and now no dashboard in East Los Angeles is safe from Confederate hero removal.

Pew Research Center released a survey showing only 37 percent of Americans attend church weekly.

You hear a lot of comedy from the front pew. Last Sunday in Beverly Hills during communion, I heard the minister offer a lady the body of Christ, and she said no thanks, I’m a vegan.

President Trump during his nine-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

day foreign trip got high marks for his speech in Riyadh that aligned the U.S. with the Sunni Arab nations arrayed against the growing threat of Iran. The Saudi princes heard his speech and had just one question for the U.S. president.

How much for your woman?

Angela Merkel said the U.S. and Britain can no longer be trusted and that Europe must seek to shape its own destiny. Nothing brings back fond memories like a German leader outlining Europe’s destiny.

E-Coli swears it had nothing to do with Sunday’s outbreak of diarrhea in Poland and France.

“Baywatch” movie star Dwayne The Rock Johnson disclosed last week he may run for president in three years. The first poll out last Friday shows him actually leading Trump. The Rock is also leading his longtime rival Scissors by 10 points in the poll but still trailing Paper by 26 points.

Hillary Clinton in a speech Friday likened Trump’s situation to President Nixon’s impeachment, however Nixon was not only NOT impeached, Hillary was a lawyer on the House impeachment committee

that didn’t impeach him. The story gets even more embarrassing. She won the popular vote.

President Trump’s proposed budget was ruled dead on arrival by Democrats and Republicans Monday. So much for spending cuts. The Postal Service just projected a $5 billion loss by the end of the fiscal year in September, making it by far the most profitable branch of the government.

President Trump ripped CIA staffers for leaking British intelligence about the identity and background of the Manchester bomber to the press. It hurt the effort to nab any accomplices. The difference between the Titanic and U.S. intelligence agencies is the Titanic had fewer leaks.

President Trump at the NATO Summit in Belgium Thursday shoved aside Montenegro prime minister Dusko Markovic so Trump could stand in front of everyone in the group photograph of the NATO leaders. It signaled the end of the Obama Doctrine. We are no longer leading from behind.

GOP former House Speaker John Boehner made headlines Sunday saying President Trump’s domestic policies so far have been a disaster. And we thought there was a lot of racial tension during the Obama administration. This was the first documented case of orange-on-orange violence.

Rocker Gregg Allman dies at Davenport anniversary age 69; sang and lived the blues card shower planned SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Gregg Allman, a survivor of tragedy, knew the blues musically and in a painfully personal way.

Raised by a single mother after his father was shot to death, he idolized his guitar-slinging older brother, Duane, and became his musical partner. They formed the nucleus of The Allman Brothers Band, which helped define the Southern rock sound of the 1970s.

Their songs such as “Whipping Post,” ‘’Ramblin’ Man” and “Midnight Rider” laid the foundation for the genre and opened the doors for groups like Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Marshall Tucker Band.

Gregg Allman, whose bluesy vocals and soulful touch on the Hammond B-3 organ helped propel the Allman Brothers Band to superstardom, died Saturday.

He was 69.

Allman died peacefully and surrounded by loved ones at his home near Savannah, his manager, Michael Lehman, told The Associated Press. He blamed cancer for Allman’s death.

“It’s a result of his reoccurrence of liver cancer that had come back five years ago,” Lehman said in an interview. “He kept it very private because he wanted to continue to play music until he couldn’t.”

Allman played his last concert in October as health problems forced him to cancel other 2016 shows. He announced Aug. 5 that he was “under his doctor’s care at the Mayo Clinic” due to “serious health issues.” Later that year, he canceled more dates, citing a throat injury. In March, he canceled performances for the rest of 2017.

Born in Nashville, Tennessee, the rock star known for his long blond hair was raised in Florida.

In his 2012 memoir, “My Cross to Bear,” Allman described how his older brother was a central figure in his life in the years after their father was murdered by a man he met in a bar. The two boys endured a spell in a military school before

being swept up in rock music in their teens. Although Gregg was the first to pick up a guitar, it was Duane who excelled at it. So Gregg later switched to the organ.

They spent years in bands together, but failed to crack success until they formed The Allman Brothers Band in 1969. It featured extended jams, tight guitar harmonies by Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, rhythms from a pair of drummers and the smoky blues inflected voice of Gregg Allman.

Based in Macon, Georgia, the group also had drummers Jai Johanny “Jaimoe” Johanson and Butch Trucks and bassist Berry Oakley.

They reached the pinnacle of the burgeoning music scene, partying to excess while defining a sound that still excites millions.

Their self-titled debut album came out in 1969, but it was their seminal live album “At Fillmore East” in 1971 that catapulted the band to stardom. Considered one of the greatest live albums ever made, the two LP record opened with their version of Blind Willie McTell’s “Statesboro Blues,” with Duane Allman on slide guitar. The album introduced fans to their fusion of blues, rock and jazz.

In his memoir, Allman said he spent years overindulging in women, drugs and alcohol before getting sober in the mid-1990s. He said that after getting sober, he felt “brand new” at the age of 50.

However, after all the years of unhealthy living he ended up with hepatitis C which severely damaged his liver. He underwent a liver transplant in 2010.

After the surgery, he turned music to help him recover and released his first solo album in 14 years “Low Country Blues” in 2011.

“I think it’s because you’re doing something you love,” Allman said in a 2011 interview with The Associated Press. “I think it just creates a diversion from the pain itself. You’ve been swallowed up by something you love, you know, and you’re just totally engulfed.”

Award-winning sports writer Frank Deford dies at 78 Frank Deford, the award-winning sports writer and commentator whose elegant reportage was a staple for years at Sports Illustrated and National Public Radio, has died. He was 78.

He died Sunday in Key West, Florida, his family said Monday.

Deford was a six-time Sports Writer of the Year and a member of the National Association of Sportscasters and Sportswriters Hall of Fame. He wrote and spoke with a lyrical touch and this month retired from NPR’s “Morning Edition” after 37 years as a contributor.

He was the first sports writer awarded the National Humanities Medal.

In 2013, President Barack Obama honored him for “transforming how we think about sports.”

Deford called the award the one he is most proud of.

His long profiles, covering all corners of sports,

were for years a showcase in Sports Illustrated.

Among Deford’s books were “Heart of a Champion,” which chronicles the career of athletes who appeared on Wheaties boxes, and a biography of tennis great Bill Tilden.

His wit always was on display. Among Deford’s gems: “I believe that professional wrestling is clean and everything else in the world is fixed.”

And he understood why the games have such a hold on so many.

“To see the glory in sport, where somebody comes from behind and does something, sinks a shot in the last second or throws a touchdown pass or hits a home run, there is a beauty in that, and at the end of the day, that’s why we love sports more than anything else.”

Deford is survived by his wife, the former model Carol Penner; two children; and two grandchildren.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: Do your readers know what “CLICKBAIT” is? It’s a pretty interesting media phenomenon, and there’s a lot to know.

Clickbait is an online advertising link consisting of a wild, fantastic, over-the-top headline referencing a celebrity, public figure or other person or news event in the current media cycle.

Advertisers are counting on you to be so intrigued by the headline that you will click on the story and read it.

Look closely: You may see the word “Advertisement” or “Sponsored” somewhere on the screen. What you will find is that the headline is misleading at best, and downright untrue at worst.

The Better Business Bureau (www. bbb.org) has even spoken up about the topic. Scammers could access your personal information, and clickbait may introduce viruses into your computer, the BBB cautions.

Remember, these stories are ultimately advertisements; they are trying to sell you something or, worse, steal your data. – John W., Columbus, Ohio HEY, WATCH IT!

Dear Heloise: More than five years ago, I bought a battery-operated wristwatch on sale. At that time, I pulled the stem out on the wristwatch and stored it away until recently. Then I pushed in the stem, reset the time and am wearing it now. If you have a battery-operated wristwatch and do not plan to wear it for a while, pull out the stem on the wristwatch until you plan to wear it. – Mary H., via email Mary, we spoke with several jewelers here in San Antonio. The general consensus is to not pull the stem out, because dust and moisture could enter the mechanism.

Since most batteries last several years and cost about $10, I’d say $2 to $4 a year is a bargain price to pay to keep a watch in tiptop condition.

The best thing to do when storing a watch long term (six months or more) is to have the battery carefully removed by your jeweler.

However, one jeweler said pulling the stem out is OK, but just store the watch in a covered jewelry box, and never wear the watch with the stem pulled out. – Heloise IS IT A DISCOUNT?

SUDOKU

Dear Heloise: At the drugstore, I see a lot of gimmicky pricing promotions. The most common one is buy one item and get the second item 50 percent off.

I’m not actually getting an item for 50 percent off; I’m getting each item for 25 percent off, but I HAVE to purchase both items to get the savings.

The savings is OK, but I just want people to know what’s going on. – Charlene K., Munster, Ind. I’M READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP Dear Heloise: Since virtually everything we do today is recorded on video and/ or audio, and I don’t like it, I’ve decided that instead of fighting the system, I will be on my best behavior and will always try to look my best. – Nora B. in Texas Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

PANTHER BOYS STATE TENNIS

Driskell and Cook learn much at state tennis Panther pair goes 0-2 in first appearance

■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

WATERLOO — Creston/Orient-Macksburg junior Jaden Driskell soaked up the atmosphere Friday at the Class 1A boys state tournament.

While the day did not go as he and doubles partner Jacob Cook wanted, Driskell can take away much from his first state tournament experience.

Cook and Driskell lost both of their matches and were eliminated from the tournament.

The surroundings at Byrnes Park, with its 16 courts and bleachers right next to the courts, created a warm, inviting atmosphere to play tennis.

“The atmosphere’s a lot better. It’s nothing that I’ve ever experienced playing tennis,” Driskell said. “It

was a fun day. I didn’t play as well as I would’ve liked.”

The setup added up to a dynamite day of tennis in Waterloo.

“It’s an amazing place to watch tennis,” said Creston/ Orient-Macksburg coach Kevin Cooper. “It’s a great place to play tennis. It’s amazing to watch tennis, you’re sitting next to the court under trees. It’s as good as it gets.”

This year’s day of tennis in Waterloo has whet Driskell’s appetite for his senior campaign.

“I’m looking forward to next year for sure,” Driskell said.

Friday’s matches will be beneficial for the two as seniors.

“To experience it as juniors is a good thing,” Cooper said. “Next year, they will be a one or two seed at districts. They’ll have the exact same chance to come back here.”

DRAKE RELAYS

Always on the go Following Drake Relays director Blake Boldon in his first relays ■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

FIRST OF A TWOPART SERIES DES MOINES — Blake Boldon’s Saturday morning started well before dawn, as did many of his days this past week in his first goaround as director of the Drake Relays.

There were tasks to be done at the office and in and around the center of the Iowa track and field universe.

By mid-morning, the 38year old Osceola native had been all over the Drake University campus and then some.

As he was moving from event to event, and to different aspects that make the Drake Relays work together, a radio headset in his ear and his trusty cell phone were constantly buzzing.

There were questions about this part of the Relays. A coach had a question about a race. There was a misplaced banner for the finish line of the Drake Relays Road Race, banners that were supposed to have been put up at the finish line before the race, but somehow as the 5K was in progress, the elaborately designed banners were in an office a few blocks away at

the Knapp Center.

Up and down, and around Drake Stadium Boldon kept going.

And going.

And going.

He kept on his feet, stopping to talk and chat with various meet officials. At times, they talked about various parts of meet and various questions that arise.

Boldon’s day started at 5 a.m., with tasks such as picking up his radio. He then went over to Drake Stadium

to do a few things. Boldon was so early, he ended up unlocking Drake Stadium.

7 a.m. — He checks into the road race check in at the parking lot a block south of Drake Stadium.

Things are running well there as he checks in on various operations within the tent.

“This is wonderful,” Boldon said. “This feels like a road race.”

walk-in.

7:14 a.m. His phone goes off. There has been a miscommunication of where runners are supposed to drop off their belongings.

The truck was not near the start of the road race. Runners are directed back up in front of Drake Stadium for the truck.

7:20 a.m. Boldon is approached by three people.

One is an old friend from Boldon’s days in Indianapolis.

They catch up for a few minutes, both surprised they ran into each other in this location.

Maureen Borto, Boldon’s friend from Indianapolis, asks how he’s doing.

“I’m more tired now than after I was in Indianapolis,” Boldon said, recalling his days as director of the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon.

Lady Mustangs down Maroonettes Diagonal starts schedule off with tough opponents

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

MURRAY — Kayla Wookey set the tone early with nine consecutive strikeouts of Diagonal batters and Murray scored five runs in the first three innings to send the Lady Mustangs on their way to a 10-0 five-inning win Friday in Murray.

Hailey Chew capped a two-run fifth inning with a single to score Alyssa Martin and end the game.

Wookey worked just three innings and did not allow a ball in play, striking out nine in the process.

The sophomore pitcher possesses a quicker fastball this season that makes her changeup all the more difficult to wait back on.

“Her speed is up probably two-three miles an hour,” Murray coach Danny Jensen said. “When you’re advancing like that, two or three miles an hour is a lot.

You’re not gong from 40 to 43, you’re going from 57 to 60. She’s throwing a lot harder.”

Bre Klein worked the final two innings in the circle and allowed two baserunners, one on a single by Maroonette Kasydi Klommhaus.

Murray got its scoring underway in the first inning when Bre Klein blasted a double that scored Martin and Chew and added another with a Wookey single to bring the tally to 3-0.

The Lady Mustangs put two more on the board in the second.

Diagonal pitcher Katie Sobotka was able to find success in the third by retiring three straight batters, and never did allow more than three runs in a frame, something that coach Matt Warren was pleased to see.

“Other years we might have let that snowball on us, get ugly real quick,” Warren said. “But I thought Katie (Sobotka), threw a lot of strikes. I thought our defense came around.”

The defensive highlights from Diagonal included several flashy plays at third base by Emily Newton and two throws home to get runners trying to score, which included a throw from Kasydi Klommhaus in left to Allison Norris at short, whose throw to the plate nabbed Emma Decker at home.

Klommhaus is one of several returning seniors that will have to lead the charge for Diagonal to boast a team that continues to improve.

“We’re on a mission to constantly improve,” Warren said. “We’re working on fundamentals. Just staying basic, keeping it simple, trying to make the easy play.”

STAFF REPORT Softball Southwest Valley 11, Clarinda 1 CORNING — Kylie McBride knocked two softballs out of the park, and Southwest Valley coasted to an 11-1 home win Friday over Clarinda.

Murray junior MacKenna Skroh tries to field a groundball off the bat of Diagonal senior Kasydi Klommhaus. The play resulted in a hit, Diagonal’s only hit of the game in Murray’s 10-0 win on Friday. Running on the bases is Maroonettes junior Cassidy Lohmann and playing second base is Murray senior Maeci Baumfalk.

The Mustangs put several courtesy runners on the bases, including the likes of eighth-graders Decker and Katie Gibbs. Jensen hopes doing so will cut down on injury chances for Wookey and Klein, while also allowing his younger girls to catch up to the speed of the varsity game.

“We’ve got a couple of those eighth-graders are going to be our courtesy runners all year long. Good experience for them,” Jensen said. “They ran into a couple guys, but they’ll get better at it as they get a little bit older.”

Jensen has been encouraged by the strong start to the season from several of his sophomores with not so much varsity experience.

A game-winning grand slam in a game one win over Southeast Warren and continued confidence at the plate and in the field has Jensen happy about Romero’s play.

“She’s a funny girl, she’s the one that keeps us loose in the dugout,” Jensen said.

“Once you get up here, it’s a different level,” Cooper said. “The kids competed real hard.”

The Panther duo was in each of their matches, but the teams from Boone and Cedar Rapids Xavier each made a couple more shots.

“We ran into really good teams,” Driskell said. “We just couldn’t finish off some matches.”

Driskell and Cook opened with Boone’s Mason Hulse and Corbin Wafful.

Hulse and Wafful had blitzed Cook and Driskell in the Panthers’ regular season finale, 6-0, 6-2.

At state, the Panther duo clawed within 5-4 in the first set before the Toreadors pair held on serve to close out the set win 6-4.

Cook’s serving kept the Panthers in the first set.

“Jacob served as well as he has all year,” Cooper said.

“He kept things rolling.”

The Panthers did push the envelope with some of their shots, but unfortunately misfired on several of them.

“They did get beat on some of those deep lob shots,” Cooper said. “If you go watch any of the kids play, in order to hit good shots, you’re going to miss some.

Nobody really pushes the ball back and forth. In order to hit good shots, you’re going to have some shots go out of bounds.”

Several soft returns by the Panthers pair let to easy winners for their opponents.

“You’ve got to be aggressive on everything,” Driskell said. “If you hit a soft shot, but it might be a good shot, they’re going to return a better shot. It’s something to work on for next year.”

Cook and Driskell had good moments in both matches, but not enough to pull out victories.

“It’s frustrating when you can’t string things together,” Cooper said.

A goal for next season for the two is to come away victorious at the district meet.

“We’ve got to win districts,” Cooper said. “I tell the kids all the time, there’s a big difference between being a district runner up, where they’re drawing your name out of hat and a district champion. Our goal next year is to be a district champion.”

An advantage of being a district champion comes when the coaches meet for the state tournament pairings.

“It’s better for the coaching staff,” Cooper said. “We didn’t get to vote for the kids. If we’re a district champion, we can.”

within the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon Advisory Committee, working with the charity efforts of the marathon in Indianapolis.

“When it came to that part of the job to get that committee up and running, she was instrumental. She was a rock coordinating volunteers and doing a lot,” Boldon said.

Borto is also a Drake alumn.

“She hasn’t been back to the Relays for a few years, and because it was my first Relays and she hadn’t been back, she decided to get a few friends and come back for a reunion,” Boldon said.

“I got her and two friends tickets so they could come and enjoy the meet.”

Boldon was shocked when he ran into Borto.

“I was surprised,” Boldon said. “I was so proud and happy to get her tickets.”

Borto was excited when she found out Boldon was going to be the director of the Drake Relays.

“She was the first person in Indy to express anything but disappointment,” Boldon said. “She expressed excitement because she’s a Drake graduate.”

Borto was one of many people over the weekend of the Drake Relays Boldon reconnected with, even in passing.

“That’s not unique about the Drake Relays,” Boldon said. “Whether it was for the Drake, the NCAAs or the U.S. Championships, if I’m up here on campus, I run into coaching friends.”

After a few minutes, he and Drake assistant athletic director for development Patrick Tomka walk up toward the start line of the Road Race’s half marathon in front of Drake Stadium.

There are over 857 participants in the half marathon that starts shortly.

Half an hour later, the 5K will start, with 825 entered.

They chat.

Boldon noted he’s learned to delegate.

“There’s some calls I give to other people,” Boldon said. “I learned to do that a few years ago.”

They talked about expectations for the half marathon and 5k.

Initial expectations for the half marathon were around 300.

More than double have shown up.

They ordered 1,000 tee shirts for both.

Giving a medal for completing both the half marathon or 5K, along with the Grand Blue Mile, run on Tuesday, was a change that worked well, and helped draw more participants.

7:25 a.m. - He arrives at the start line of the Road Race. There he’s greeted by his boss, Drake athletic di-

rector Sandy Hatfield Clubb and Drake president Marty Miller.

Miller steps up to the podium. He thanks Boldon for what he’s done, his vision for the Relays and looking forward to what Boldon will do in the future.

7:32 a.m. - The gun is fired and the half marathon is underway.

Boldon hangs around at the start, chatting more with Hatfield Club and Miller, awaiting the start of the 5k at 8 a.m.

In the meanwhile, Boldon’s phone buzzes several times.

He’s talking with meet officials about what to do with the men’s special high jump and men’s special pole vault, which has drawn a strong field of Olympic-level athletes and standout collegians.

Rain is in the forecast for when the events are supposed to be held early in the afternoon.

He tells the official he trusts his judgement on what to do.

Contingency plans are made to hold the event in the adjacent Drake Fieldhouse if it’s raining too heavy.

An outside level high jump competition was set to take place, including Rio gold medalist Derek Drouin of Canada, fellow Canadian Mike Mason, and 2016 United States Olympians Ricky Robertson and Trevor Barry.

They want to hold the event inside Drake Stadium, but the combination of 45 degree temperatures and rain would make for awful conditions to contest those events in.

“Knowing Iowa weather is subject to change any moment, we wanted to wait as long as possible,” Boldon said. “Derek Drouin and his Canadian teammate Mike Mason both expressed full intent to jump outside in the conditions. They wanted to jump in front of the crowd, be announced in the Stadium. With the Fieldhouse adjacent to the Stadium, we wanted to ensure a safe competition. We don’t want to risk injury, slipping particularly with the pole vault.”

“We decided to air on the side of caution.”

7:48 a.m. - As Boldon’s on the phone on the south side of Forest Avenue, public address announcer Mike Jay pipes in on the Drake Stadium speakers, talking over what’s upcoming inside the stadium.

8 a.m. — The 5K is underway. He hangs around there for another couple of minutes.

Then he makes his way back toward the check in tent. There he helps with teardown, taking apart boxes, breaking down tables and other cleanup.

He goes over how it went there. Everything went well according to those there.

move again, heading back toward Drake Stadium. A couple minutes later, the phone goes off again.

This time, there’s something amiss — the finish line banners for the half marathon and 5K are still inside the Knapp Center and not on the scaffolding at the finish line.

For Boldon, it’s a rare moment of noticeable frustration.

“We put all the effort and design into them then to have them sitting in the office,” Boldon noted, a bit disappointed.

8:30 a.m. - The banners are brought from the Knapp Center to the finish line on 25th Street. He and a couple of staff members attempt to put them up in between finishers of the 5k. Unfortunately, it becomes a futile effort. The velcro on the banners are not sticking to the velcro on the scaffolding.

That attempt is given up.

Now, it’s time for a quick bite to eat, a sausage and egg croissant.

8:35 a.m. - He runs into former Clarke classmate Eli Stover.

This is about to be a special morning for Stover, a 1997 Clarke Community High School graduate.

Stover is all set to propose to his girlfriend Kara Palczewski.

A few friends have signs pointing out to Palczewski as she comes in.

At the end will be Eli with the sign ‘me’ and a ring.

8:42 a.m. - The first finishers of the half marathon are coming in. Boldon and another hold up the tape for the winner. Terence Attema breaks the tape in 1:08:56. A couple of minutes later, Jake Sutton crosses the line as the runner up in 1:11:17.

As the half marathon finishers come in, he greets them.

9:18 a.m. - He continues to greet runners as they come in. One that comes is in is Travis McCathie — an athletic trainer at Iowa State.

They worked together when Boldon was a coach in Ames.

Stover is waiting for Palczewski to finish.

He’s getting nervous.

NASCAR driver Reed Sorenson honors soldier whose story will never die

By C Jackson Cowart

The Carolina Panthers honored the Bronze Star medalist, who doubled as a diehard football fan, by putting his initials on their helmets in 2015. There’s even a local whiskey displaying Barton’s name on its label.

See, Barton isn’t an easy man to forget. He could hardly hide his unfettered joy behind his “joker smile,” and his sacrificial spirit was on display until his final moments. Even seven years later, his widow Heather thinks of him every day.

But some days carry more weight than others. And this time of the year — with Memorial Day and the anniversary of his death just days apart — is one of the heaviest.

“People move on with their lives,” she said. “And it’s just overwhelming to see people take time in their day to remember him.”

Heather grew up idolizing Chris — to her, he was Christopher — who lived just one street over. He was a workout junkie and aspiring personal trainer, and it showed. Before she could even drive, Heather would have her mom drive her down the street so she could fawn at the brawny heartthrob playing basketball in front of his house.

The Charlotte Observer

On Feb. 11, Christopher Barton’s memorial Facebook page was flooded with pictures of strawberry cupcakes with chocolate icing.

A communal birthday present, if you will.

They were always his favorite, simple and sweet.

It’s a small way for his closest friends to remember the Harrisburg native, who died in Afghanistan on May 24, 2010. And in Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, driver Reed Sorenson remembered Barton a different way: with the local soldier’s name in the windshield of his No. 15 car.

Sorenson still remembers stories of his grandfather fighting in World War II. And on weekends like these, he doesn’t want to take stories like Barton’s for granted. “(It) reminds us again of the sacrifices that some of us don’t have to take,” Sorenson said, “and others are willing to take.”

Barton’s life was cut short after 22 years, but his story is alive and well. In 2013, the band Alabama honored him in their “Back to the Bowery Tour” in Myrtle Beach.

“He was three and a half years older than me,” Heather said. “So I just thought, ‘There’s no way.’ ” On Dec. 26, 2008, Chris came to Heather’s house to watch “A Christmas Story” and surprised her with a kiss. Four days later, he enlisted in the Army.

When he tested for the military, his aptitude scores opened doors beyond just the infantry unit. It didn’t matter; his calling was on the front lines.

“We asked him why,” Heather said, “and he said, ‘Somebody has to do it.’ ” The two were engaged on July 4, 2009, and they married at the end of October.

By January, his time came to deploy to Afghanistan.

“It was hard to sleep that night,” Heather said. “I tried to stay awake just so I could at least hold his hand the whole night.”

The next day, Chris walked to the car with his wife, who was fending off the floodgates. She had hours ahead of her for tears, for frantic calls to turn around when her husband’s deployment was delayed by a few hours, and for the resignation that there just wasn’t enough time. There was never enough time. But in this moment, she had to

cord, who died three months after Chris and whose name will appear in Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s windshield.

But Sunday isn’t the end.

Every year, Chris’ family and friends will still make strawberry cupcakes with chocolate frosting. His name will still adorn the label of Zero Dark 130 — a whiskey too strong for his wife — and bands will still bring Heather on stage to remember her fallen husband.

For years, his story will live on.

“It warms my heart to know that people are helping him not be forgotten,” she said. “That’s my biggest fear is people will just forget who he is. And I’m just so grateful people are going out of their way to keep his name alive.”

ily needed a bigger church than Harrisburg had to offer. But two days before, he was flown into Concord Airport and then-mayor Tim Hagler shut down the streets of Harrisburg for Chris’ final return home.

Hundreds of town residents, police officers and fire fighters showed up to honor the fallen soldier. School children lined the sidewalks of Stallings Road and the flag in front of Charlotte Motor Speedway was at half-mast.

Heather’s casualty assistance officer said he had never seen anything like it.

“This is something that they would do for a president,” he told her.

Seven years later, his memory is still alive. Chris will be one of 40 soldiers who will be honored in Sunday’s race — including James McClamrock of Con-

Goodbyes were in order, but they never said goodbye. That would make it all too real.

“I never told him, ‘Don’t go,’ ” Heather said. “I wanted to so bad, but I just told him, ‘You’re gonna do great, I love you, I’ll see you soon.’ ” Four months later, she remembers driving her younger sister home from the tanning salon. She didn’t see the cars with the government plates, but when Heather walked through the doors, she saw the two military men standing inside. They must have the wrong person — the chaplain even said “Burton” instead of “Barton” — but they weren’t mistaken. She fell to her knees, her parents holding their daughter on the floor.

Two weeks before he was scheduled to return home for two weeks, Chris’ unit was ambushed at the end of a mission. It was six days before the seven-month mark of his and Heather’s marriage.

“I got married at 18,” she said, “and I was a 19-yearold widow.”

Chris’ funeral was scheduled for June 5 in nearby Mint Hill, because the fam-

Authorities: Girl hurt in 60-foot fall at Iowa state park DUNDEE (AP) — Authorities say an 8-year-old girl has been injured after falling 60 feet at a state park in eastern Iowa.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources said in a news release that the girl was hiking with friends and family Sunday afternoon at Backbone State Park when she fell.

Department spokesman Alex

Murphy said Monday that the girl may have been jumping from rock to rock and then slipped, plunging down a steep embankment. He could not confirm the girl’s name.

The girl’s companions called 911 for help, and she was flown to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City. Her condition has not been released.

TRUMP: CONT. FROM | 1A

House team in February after campaign aide Jason Miller — Trump’s original choice for communications director — withdrew from consideration. Dubke founded Crossroads Media, a GOP firm that specializes in political advertising.

Dubke is the latest White House staffer to leave this administration as scrutiny intensifies over contacts Trump staffers may have had with Russian government officials during the campaign and transition period.

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Dubke resigned before Trump left for his Conway international trip earlier this month, suggesting that his departure is not linked to any pending shake-ups.

But his departure raises

questions about whether previous Trump loyalists are headed to the White House.

Trump has entertained formally bringing back his former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, and former deputy campaign manager, David Bossie.

Bossie told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” that the Trump administration has reached out to him but hasn’t offered him a job yet.

“They have talked to many people, including me,” Bossie said. He later added: “It’s an ongoing conversation and that’s a fair way to put it.”

In an interview on Fox News on Tuesday, Conway said Dubke “made very clear that he would see through the president’s international trip, and come to work every day and work hard even through that trip because there was much to do here back at the White House.”

Dubke’s hiring was intended to lighten the load on Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, who had also been handling the duties of communications director during Trump’s first month in office. Trump has privately pinned some of the blame for his admin-

istration’s rough start on the White House’s communications strategy.

While overseas, Trump’s longtime lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, joined a still-forming legal team to help the president shoulder the intensifying investigations into Russian interference in the election and his associates’ potential involvement.

More attorneys with deep experience in Washington investigations are expected to be added, along with crisis communication experts, to help the White House in the weeks ahead.

The latest revelations to emerge last week involved Trump’s son-in-law and top aide, Jared Kushner. Shortly after the election, Kushner allegedly discussed setting up a secret communications channel with the R u s s i a n Kushner government to facilitate sensitive discussions about the conflict in Syria.

The intent was to connect Trump’s chief national se-

curity adviser at the time, Michael Flynn, with Russian military leaders, a person familiar with the discussions told the AP. The person wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss private policy deliberations and insisted on anonymity.

Flynn handed in his resignation in February after it was revealed he misled top White House officials about his contacts with Russian officials.

The disclosure of the back channel has put the White House on the defensive. Just back from his nine-day trip to the Middle East and Europe, Trump dismissed recent reports as “fake news.”

Trump also has renewed his criticism of Germany following Chancellor Angela Merkel’s suggestion that her country needs to adopt a more independent stance in world affairs.

Trump posted a tweet Tuesday saying “we have a MASSIVE trade deficit with Germany, plus they pay FAR LESS than they should on NATO & military. Very bad for U.S. This will change.”
