Iowa’s GOP senators cast doubt on health care law repeal Felker joins “YOU CAN’T repeal newsroom staff it (Affordable Care ALTOONA (AP) — Lowering expectations, Iowa’s two Republican senators say the long-promised repeal of “Obamacare” is unlikely, and any final agreement with the Republican-controlled House is uncertain.

The comments Tuesday

by Sens. Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst come as the Republican-controlled Senate moves forward on its work to dismantle the 2010 health care bill while facing conflicting demands within their own party and lockstep Democratic opposition. Both senators are active players in the health

care debate.

“You can’t repeal it in its entirety,” Ernst told reporters after a joint appearance with Grassley in subur- Ernst ban Des Moines.

It was a frank admission from loyal conservatives representing a state Republican Donald Trump carried in November.

The Senate’s filibuster rule means that Republicans — who control the

Senate with 52 seats — can’t repeal the entire law.

“You’ve got to have 60 votes and we don’t have 60 votes at this point,” Grassley said.

Grassley, in his seventh term, is a senior member of the Finance Committee, which oversees the law’s tax and Medicaid provisions. Ernst, elected in 2014, says she has been part of an informal GOP health care working group’s discussions.

“As much as I’d love to go back and scrap the whole darn thing, we’re simply unable to do that,” Ernst said.

Official says Trump expected to pull US from Paris deal WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is expected to pull the United States from a landmark global climate agreement, a White House official said Wednesday, though there could be “caveats in the language” announcing a withdrawal, leaving open the possibility that his decision isn’t final.

Exiting the deal would be certain to anger allies that spent years negotiating the accord to reduce carbon emissions.

The official insisted on anonymity in order to discuss the decision before the official announcement.

Trump tweeted on

Wednesday morning: “I will be announcing my decision on the Paris Accord over the next few days. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” While Trump currently favors an exit from the agreement, he has been known to change his think- Trump ing on major decisions and tends to seek counsel from a range of inside and outside advisers, many with differing agen-

das, until the last minute.

Nearly 200 nations, including the United States under President Barack Obama’s administration, agreed in 2015 to voluntarily reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to combat climate change.

Withdrawing would leave the United States aligned only with Russia among the world’s industrialized economies in rejecting action to combat climate change.

News of Trump’s expected decision drew swift reaction from the United Nations. The organization’s main Twitter page quoted PARIS | 2A

Creston Community Middle School computer teacher Pat Schlapia, left, a longtime St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan, wears a Chicago Cubs World Series champions T-shirt Tuesday after losing a classroom agreement with sixth-grader Payton Conley, right. Conley, a Cubs fan, made a pact with Schlapia that whoever had their team behind the other in the National League Central Division standings on May 26 would have to wear a shirt of the other’s favorite team to school on May 30, the last full day of school. After the games of May 26, the Cubs were leading the division with a record of 25-22 and the Cardinals were 23-22. Schlapia borrowed the Cubs shirt from teaching colleague Kevin Cooper.

DEATHS Clara Irene Tull Creston

Clara Irene Tull died peacefully May 25, 2017, at 100 years and 364 days old.

Born May 26, 1916, on a rural f a r m n e a r Diagonal to Willard Wilford a n d N o r a Tull B e atrice Burnworth Baker, Irene was lovingly married to Alvin Lee Tull, who died in 2001.

A talented quilter, avid Bingo player and wicked card opponent, Irene was a people person and had many interests to occupy her time.

Irene and Alvin had four sons before welcoming a daughter to complete their family in 1944. With five children, Irene could often be found keeping the boys in line and sharing in her

children’s interests, from antiquing to farming and entrepreneurial adventures, and traveling to various points of interest.

Those left to cherish her memory include three sons, Howard Tull (Jenny) of Tingley, Von Tull (Judi) of Afton and Glen Tull of Creston; daughter Janet Sissel (Jim) of Creston; daughter-in-law Jean Tull of Creston and sister-in-law Ro Emma Tull of Creston. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, son Ronald Tull, granddaughter Teresa Tull and sisters, Loas also known as Tudie Allen (Cecil) and Opal Overholser (Paul).

Eight grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and 18 great-great-grandchildren also survive her.

No public services are planned. Pearson Family Funeral Service, 809 W. Montgomery St., in Creston is in charge of the arrangements. Memorials may be directed to the Diagonal Museum or Tingley mealsite.

In the interim, SPYMCA Board President Chris Eaton and SPYMCA Board Member Cait Maitlen are teaming up to fill in as temporary executive directors. Kenyon said the board may look to find another temporary executive director until a permanent executive director is hired.

“We want to take our time and find the right person and make it fit,” Kenyon said.

During Worland’s time as executive director, SPYMCA saw positives in fundraising and equipment upgrades, including new equipment installed in mid-March.

Greater Regional Medical Center also donated new equipment for the cardio room, which totalled about $53,000.

“The idea is to give other people a fun experience, come into our weight room and live a healthier life,” Worland said at the time of the equipment’s installation.

SPYMCA also saw a large turnover of aquatics department staff when the aquatics coordinator and nearly all the lifeguards and instructors resigned March 17.

But, positions were quickly filled and Dana Dodge returned to SPYMCA as the new aquatics coordinator.

Erasing Obama’s health care law was a top promise of Donald Trump during his presidential campaign, and by congressional GOP candidates since its 2010 enactment.

But writing legislation that can pass with only Republican votes has proven agonizing.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., canceled a March vote after opposition from party conservatives and moderates would have sealed its defeat, and the two wings of the GOP spent weeks blaming each other

for the bill’s demise. The House subsequently passed it by a narrow margin.

Ernst says the Senate will be able to make individual changes to Obama’s law where only a simple majority vote is required.

For instance, she mentioned changing mandatory health care benefits required by insurers as ripe for Senate action.

Ernst stopped short of saying whether any legislation passed in the Senate would be accepted by the House.

“We will be working with the House,” she said.

PARIS:

comes a day after the president met with Scott Pruitt, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Like his boss, Pruitt has questioned the consensus of climate scientists that the Earth is warming and that man-made climate emissions are to blame.

Once in power, Trump and Pruitt have moved to delay or roll back federal regulations limiting greenhouse gas emissions while pledging to revive the long-struggling U.S. coal mines.

What is not yet clear is whether Trump plans to initiate a formal withdrawal from the Paris accord, which under the terms of the agreement could take three years, or exit the underlying U.N. climate change treaty on which the accord was based.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and 21 other Republican sent Trump a letter last week urging him to follow through on his campaign pledge to pull out of the climate ac-

cord. Most of the senators who signed are from states that depend on the continued burning of coal, oil and gas.

There have been influential voices urging Trump not to ditch the Paris accord.

Forty Democratic senators sent Trump a letter urging him to stay in, saying a withdrawal would hurt America’s credibility and influence on the world stage.

Hundreds of high-profile businesses have spoken out in favor of the deal, including Apple, Google and Walmart.

Even fossil fuel companies such as Exxon Mobil, BP and Shell say the United States should abide by the deal.

The U.S. is the world’s second largest emitter of carbon, following only China.

Beijing, however, has reaffirmed its commitment to meeting its targets under the Paris accord, recently canceling construction of about 100 coal-fired power plants and investing billions in massive wind and solar projects.

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres as saying, “Climate change is undeniable. Climate change is unstoppable.

Climate solutions provide opportunities that are unmatchable.”

The Sierra Club’s executive director, Michael Brune, called the expected move a “historic mistake which our grandchildren will look back on with stunned dismay at how a world leader could be so divorced from reality and morality.”

Trump pledged during his presidential campaign to withdraw the U.S. from the pact immediately after taking office, but had wavered on the issue since winning the election.

Trump’s top aides were divided on the issue; some advocated withdrawal, others urged him to stay. One potential compromise that

had been discussed involved remaining in, but adjusting the U.S. emissions targets.

During Trump’s overseas trip last week, European leaders pressed him to keep the U.S. in the pact. French President Emmanuel Macron spoke with Trump at length about the issue during a meeting in Brussels, and even at the Vatican, Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin made his own pro-Paris pitch to Trump and his advisers.

Trump claimed before taking office that climate change was a “hoax” created by the Chinese to hurt the U.S. economy. Such an assertion stands in defiance of broad scientific consensus.

But Trump’s chief White House economic adviser, Gary Cohn, told reporters during the trip abroad that Trump’s views on climate change were “evolving” following the president’s discussions with European leaders.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, May 31, 2017

The nonexistent case for the Paris accord For a bull in the china shop, President Donald Trump has so far gingerly stepped around the Paris climate accord. That dance could end as soon as this week, with Trump deciding whether to stay in or opt out.

“Out” should be the obvious answer. No U.S. interest is served by remaining part of the accord, which even its supporters say is mostly an exercise in window dressing – that is, when they aren’t insisting that the fate of the planet depends on it.

The treaty’s advocates, hoping to forestall a Trump exit, are trying to save the accord by arguing that it is largely meaningless. In this spirit, a piece on the liberal website Vox explained, the Paris accord “asks participants only to state what they are willing to do and to account for what they’ve done. It is, in a word, voluntary.”

In other words, “Nothing to see here, just us climate-change

alarmists playing pretend.”

And there is indeed much to be said for the worthlessness of Paris. Beijing pledges that China’s emissions will “peak around 2030.” By one estimate, this is when its emissions would peak regardless. So the world’s largest emitter is using the accord as a platform for climate virtue-signaling.

According to Benjamin Zycher of the American Enterprise Institute, even if Paris is fully implemented and you accept the Environmental Protection Agency’s model for how emissions affect warming, it will produce a rounding error’s worth of

decline in the global temperature by 2100 – .17 of a degree Celsius.

If Paris is such a nullity, why shouldn’t we simply pull out?

This is where its supporters reverse field and contend that it will be a global disaster if the U.S. leaves. Supposedly the moral suasion involved in countries coming up with voluntary targets and having to defend their performance meeting them will drive an ever-escalating commitment to fight global warming.

Once upon a time, Paris was portrayed as a tool for steadily tightening restrictions on fossil fuels. The Obama team referred to one provision in the accord as “ratcheting up ambition over time.”

Whatever their opportunistic salesmanship at the moment, this clearly is still the goal of the treaty’s supporters and a reason why Trump should get out

while the getting is good. International agreements acquire a dead-weight momentum of their own. Witness how hard it is to pull out of the Paris accord now, when it went into effect only last November. In another couple of years, it will acquire the sanctity of the Peace of Westphalia.

The treaty may be notionally voluntary, but climate-change activists will surely hunt for a judge willing to find a reason that the U.S. emission target in the accord is binding. Trump’s unhappy experience in the courts with his travel ban should make him highly sensitive to this judicial threat.

In the context of Trump’s handling of other international agreements, getting out of Paris shouldn’t be a close call. To have pulled out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership – a free-trade agreement with tangible strategic benefits in Asia – and stay

in Paris would be a travesty. To irk our European allies with less than explicit restatements of our commitment to NATO, then placate them by standing by Paris, would be strategic folly.

The shrewdest option would be to submit the agreement to the Senate for ratification, where it certainly would be rejected. President Barack Obama pretended that the treaty was an executive agreement – even though it involves 195 countries, and purports to bind future U.S. presidents -- precisely so he could do an end run around the Senate. Honoring the Senate’s constitutional role in considering such a treaty would make it that much harder for the next Democratic president simply to sign on again unilaterally.

Failing that, Trump should say farewell to Paris on his own, and never look back.

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

President Trump returned to work in the Oval Office Tuesday with the nation split over his job performance. He said he became president to drain the swamp.

The latest poll shows half the country believes Trump is draining the swamp, while the other half think he’s peeing in the pool.

Democrats celebrated the 100th anniversary of Jack Kennedy’s birth Monday. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, he set up a secret back channel to Moscow through Russian spy Georgi Bolshakov that saved the world. Today Jack would be impeached by his own party for that little stunt.

The Hollywood Reporter interviewed the most prominent publicists in show business recently and they agreed that stars must always look their best in public during the age of smart phone cameras. How true. Tiger Woods’ mug shot makes it look like he just murdered his wife in Brentwood.

Tiger Woods was arrested for driving under the influence Monday while he was driving home in Florida. Their DUI test isn’t that strict. You aren’t driving impaired in Florida unless you suddenly swerve to avoid a tree, and it just turns out to be the air freshener hanging from your rear view mirror.

Sato of Japan crossed the finish line in triumph at the Brickyard in Indianapolis Sunday and became the first Asian race car driver ever to win the Indianapolis 500. It is no secret how he won the race.

He was driving a Japanese car and the accelerator got stuck.

President Trump was back in the Oval Office Monday after a nine-day trip to the Middle East and Europe. The comedians missed him. President Trump laid a wreath at Arlington Cemetery Monday and paid tribute to the hundreds and thousands of Americans who attended his Inauguration.

Angela Merkel’s campaign rally crowd broke out into song Sunday after she said the U.S. and Britain can’t be relied on and Europe must seek out its own destiny. It may accomplish one thing.

If anything can wipe that smirk off Vladimir Putin’s face, it’s the sound of the Germans singing again.

Senator John McCain sounded the alarm on a Sunday talk show last weekend declaring that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is a bigger threat to the United States than Russia. However, he does

seem diplomatically isolated. I see where Putin just returned from his third annual G-1 Summit.

The White House formed a communications war room to battle fake news depictions of Trump as incompetent, irrational, and in collusion with Russia. It’s killing Netflix. Donald Trump single handedly ruined House of Cards because now you will believe anything about an American president.

The U.S. military test-fires an anti-missile missile from California today to try to shoot down an ICBM fired toward California from the Marshall Islands.

There’s no panic. Fears subsided after North Korea’s latest longrange missile test turned out to be a three-liter bottle of Diet Coke and a packet of Mentos.

Secretary of Defense James Mattis clarified Trump’s terrorist policy Sunday by saying the goal is to wipe ISIS off the face of the earth. We’re not dealing with Einsteins here. How smart are ISIS suicide bombers who expect to enjoy 72 virgins right after blowing their penises off?

British Airways suffered a major IT breakdown in its computer system and had no immediate solution last weekend, stranding 100,000 British Airways passengers when they couldn’t fix the computer problem. It’s always the same excuse at this time of year.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I need a way to CLEAN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. Most fruit and veggie cleaners are rather pricey for the amount you get. – James K., Grand Rapids, Mich.

James, I have several easy hints for cleaning fruits and vegetables: * First, wash your hands for 20 seconds with warm water and soap before preparing fresh produce. * Smooth-skinned produce: Soak them in a mixture of 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water for at least 30 seconds.

Gently rub the skin with your hands under running water, and dry with a clean paper towel. * Produce with rough outer skin: Items such as broccoli, potatoes and cauliflower are a little harder to clean.

Soak in a solution of 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water for 1 minute. For heads of cabbage or lettuce, it’s best to separate the leaves first. After soaking, if soil still clings to the produce, use a brush to gently scrub the items and rinse well. * You can add lemon juice to the vinegar to raise the acidity, and this will increase the effectiveness of killing

bacteria and help to reduce the chances of mold forming on your produce. You always should wash the rind of inedible produce, such as oranges, melons, etc., to prevent the transfer of bacteria to the edible parts.

If you’d like more Heloise hints with vinegar, you can order a pamphlet by visiting my website, www.

Heloise.com, or by sending a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. FYI: Add 1 cup of apple-cider vinegar to a bathtub full of water. Your skin will feel great, and it makes cleaning the tub easier! – Heloise MOLDY CHEESE Dear Heloise: Another way I learned to keep cheese from getting moldy in the fridge is to not keep it in the door compartment. It lasts much longer in the main part of the fridge. – Roslyn D., Escanaba, Mich.

AVOCADO DIP Dear Heloise: I love reading your hints in the (Wilmington, Ohio) News Journal.

I love to cook for friends. I just made a huge amount of

avocado dip that has stayed a pretty color by adding not only fresh lime juice, but a heaping teaspoon of turmeric, a high-quality sour cream, plus chopped onions and whatever else you wish.

– Irene P., Wilmington, Ohio CHICKEN’S DARK AT THE BONE Dear Heloise: I really like your column in our paper – lots of good ideas. My question is regarding chicken, which I like a lot. What do you have to get rid of the black and awful-looking dark near the legs and thighs? It looks like blood and makes the meat dark after it’s baked. – N.Y.S., Finger Lakes, N.Y. The darkening around bones in chickens occurs mostly in young fryers. Their bones have not yet calcified completely, allowing pigment from the bone marrow to seep through the porous bone. When the chicken is cooked, the pigment turns dark. Freezing also will contribute to seepage from the bone to the meat. It’s safe to eat the chicken meat that turns dark near the bone. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

PANTHER GIRLS STATE GOLF

Hartsock finds groove in state debut Challenging greens test Panthers in day one at state meet ■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

MARSHALLTOWN — Sydney Hartsock settled into her round quickly at Tuesday’s first round of the Class 4A girls state golf tournament.

The Creston/Orient-Macksburg freshman kept her drives straight on the tree lined fairways of Elmwood Country Club. She made enough putts to stay competitive in the round.

It added up to a strong day for the Panther freshman.

Hartsock carded a round of 98, one of three Panthers

to break 100.

Play in day two of the Class 4A girls state golf tournament continues today (Wednesday) at 9 a.m. at Elmwood Country Club in Marshalltown.

Hartsock easily played her best round of the season, and at an ideal time as well. Her previous best 18hole score was a 111.

“My hits were straight,” Hartsock said. “Everything was going pretty good.”

Heartbreaking finish Panther girls see their season come to an abrupt end ■

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

AVOCA — Creston’s girls soccer team held two leads Tuesday before succumbing to another late game letdown to to end the season.

The Panthers led 1-0 and 3-2 before falling 4-3 on two goals in the last 10 minutes of the game by AHSTW in Creston’s first round, Class 1A Region 1 exit.

AHSTW will play at Tri-Center next by virtue of its win.

Creston’s season is done, and the loss left a bitter taste

in the Panthers’ mouths.

“I definitely was not expecting to walk away with a loss tonight,” Creston coach Kim Lauffer said.

Based on Creston’s play early in the game, that thought was not likely even in the Panthers’ minds.

Creston controlled possession for much of the first 20 minutes of action before finally breaking through on a Kalan Bloodgood goal that she finished from left of the goal to the far right post pass AHSTW keeper SOCCER | 8A CNA photo by KALEB CARTER

CLASS 1A GIRLS STATE GOLF

Schafer surges toward the top Raiderette junior tied for second after day one at state, Shields tied for ninth ■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

MARSHALLTOWN — Mount Ayr’s Abbey Schafer enjoys a friendly conversation when she’s out on the golf course.

Her visits with assistant coach Jodie Geist helped put the Raiderettes junior at ease during day one of the Class 1A girls state golf tournament.

A calm and collected Schafer turned the positive words from Geist into a standout 18 holes of golf, joined by a solid round from her teammate Tessa Shields.

Schafer sits in a tie for second after day one with an 83 at the American Legion Golf Course in Marshalltown.

West Monona’s Samantha Knight is the clubhouse leader with a 76. Schafer and New London’s Casey Nobel are tied for second with an 83, three shots clear of fourth-place Caitlyn Jacobs of Clinton’s Prince of Peace Prep, who carded an 86.

Shields is tied for ninth with a 91.

Play in the second round begins today (Wednesday) at 9 a.m. at the American Legion Golf Course in Marshalltown.

Geist’s words were invaluable to Schafer.

“Jodie was a big help to me,” Schafer said of Geist, who walked with her during the 18 holes. “She calmed me, talked shots before and after. She helped calm my nerves, telling me everything was OK after bad shots, what I needed to do.”

Geist reminded Schafer a good day was in the works.

“She kept me positive,” Schafer said.

Schafer’s day started extremely inauspiciously, with a quadruple bogey seven on the par-three 16th.

But Schafer soon turned the round around. She parred 17 and 18, leading to a string of six straight pars.

Being at state for the second consecutive year settled Schafer down after the first hole.

“I had good mental focus going into my first nine,” Schafer said. “It was nice to be able to stay calm, not get too worked up. Staying relaxed was huge.”

Last year in the opening round at state, Schafer carded a 100 at Jester Park in Granger.

This year’s round was significantly better.

“It was a rough going

there, trying to bounce back from that,” Schafer said. “(Tuesday) I was able to stay positive and mentally move on.”

Geist helped with that.

“She kept me calm the rest of the day,” Schafer said.

Last season’s experiences showed in Schafer’s play, along with Shields’.

“It comes with maturity, being in this tournament in the past,” said Mount Ayr coach Scott Giles. “They knew what to expect.”

Schafer now will play in the final group on the final day of the season.

Her efforts from last season to now has paid off.

“It means so much,” Schafer said. “All of the hard work has paid off, being able to overcome bad shots.

It’s all in your head. You have to be able to work hard and mentally focus, mentally prepare yourself for being in that last group on the last day is really worth it.”

“It feels really good.”

Shields was seldom in a good spot in the fairway.

She still scrambled her way out of trouble.

Shields came up big around the greens as well, leading to a top-10 spot after day one.

“I seemed to find every tree on the golf course,” Shields said.

Shields was a magician with her second shots, setting herself up for good looks at the pin.

“My second shots were

a big part of my game,” Shields said. “I had to come up with a recovery shot close to the green and one or two putt.”

Shields was in the trees it almost became second nature.

“I was hitting shots better from under a tree than I was in the wide open,” she said.

“It didn’t bother me too much.”

Shields showed how much her game matured from her first state tournament berth as a freshman.

“I didn’t get flustered when I was not hitting it in the right spot,” Shields said. “My freshman year, if I hit one bad shot, found a tree, I freaked out. I did not know what to do. (Tuesday)

I knew I just had to do it.”

As dialed in as Shields was in scrambling to the green, her round could have been a bit better.

“She had four or five pretty good distance putts rimmed out,” Giles said.

“She was just real consistent.”

Shields, a St. Ambrose University recruit for golf, will look to enjoy her final 18 holes of competitive prep golf.

“She wants to play as well as she can in her last high school event,” Giles said.

“We hope she goes out and plays well, takes strokes off, can be in the top 10, 12.”

The atmosphere of state phased neither Schafer nor Shields.

“It’s a great reward,” Giles said. “There’s a lot of people here. There’s a lot of people who have no idea what a state tournament is like. Everyone needs to experience what it’s like competing and trying to play your best in a game.”

Work near the green will be vital for both Schafer and Shields to post a good number.

“Putting’s going to be a key, chipping, like any and every match,” Giles said. “(Wednesday) is a little more important. You want to be at your best for the finale of the golf season.”

Akron-Westfield leads the team standings with a 378, three strokes better than West Monona, which carded a 381, and four strokes ahead of New London, which had a team tally of 382.

the opening tee in her first appearance at the state tournament.

Those nerves went away soon as she settled into the round.

“I wanted to do good, especially for (senior) Hayley (Osmun) in her last meet,” Hartsock said.

As Hartsock made her way around the short, but challenging course, she continued to hit solid shot after solid shot.

“Everything was good,” Hartsock said. “It was going how I wanted.”

Hartsock kept the big numbers off the scorecard, a good sign on a day when the greens were testing all of the players, as were gusty winds.

“That’s a pretty good deal, especially with the way the greens were playing and it was a little bit of windy conditions,” said Creston/Orient-Macksburg coach Jon Thomson. “That was awesome.”

Hartsock has bounced back nicely from an ankle injury that sidelined her for several weeks earlier in the season.

She came up with her firstsub 100 round of her varsity career.

“It’s starting to click for her,” Thomson said. “She’s been around the sport long enough. She knows how to get around a golf course.

It’s a matter of putting all the tools together to make it happen.”

Ashton Carter was not overly satisfied with her round.

While the round was not quite up to Carter’s high standards, she still is in a good position going into day two.

Carter led the Panthers with a 93.

She sits in a tie for 12th overall. However, only five shots separate her from fourth, held by Greene County’s Rachael Danielson and Maquoketa’s Taylor Thede.

Washington’s Sarah Nacos is the clubhouse leader with a 78, six shots clear of Grinnell’s Bella Amador-Lacson and seven shots ahead of

Humboldt’s Brooke Anderson.

“She (Carter) was playing good,” Thomson said. “It was a matter of a couple of putts not falling. It’s still a respectable score where she falls in the grand scheme of things. She’s just a few strokes out of the top 10. In girls golf, that’s nothing.”

When the Panthers played a practice round at Elmwood Friday, the greens were considerably softer after rain late last week.

Monday, the greens were significantly faster. The speeds were a challenge for the team.

“The greens were so fast. It was hard to figure out where to hit the ball,” Carter said.

“It was hard to hit it close, one or two putt. Sometimes, you didn’t know which way the green was going to slope.

You have to make sure you play it right.”

The speed was a surprise, particularly after what the Panthers saw last week.

PANTHER SOFTBALL

Panther softball overcomes miscues Creston puts up 12 runs over last three innings in road win ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

CLARINDA — Creston’s softball team overcame a painful start, a 5-1 deficit and an eight-error defensive performance to defeat Clarinda 13-7 on the road Tuesday.

The Panthers trailed 5-1 after a four-run third, and another Clarinda run in the fourth.

Creston finally reached Cardinals pitcher Aziah Smalley for six runs in the fourth inning and three runs in each the sixth and seventh innings to seal the victory.

Creston coach oach Mike McCabe tried to rally his girls before the fifth.

“Every minute that goes by they’re gaining confidence and every minute that

goes by we’re turning the other way,” McCabe said about the 5-1 deficit.

Consecutive errors by Clarinda allowed Chloe Hagle and Cayla Maitlen to reach base to start the fifth and a Cali Foglesong single drove both of them in to pull Creston within two.

Foglesong led the Panthers with three RBIs Tuesday.

In the fourth, Saige Rice pushed two more runs across with a single and the Panthers grabbed a 7-5 lead heading into the bottom half of the fifth.

Clarinda tied the game on a Bailey Drennen double that scored two runs to make the score 7-7.

In the sixth, Creston scored twice more, as Rachel Boyer, Brielle Baker and Mattie Wheeler all singled in the frame.

Wheeler was 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI. Creston added on to the

lead with three in the seventh. Rice, Hagle and Maitlen all crossed the plate in the final inning, with Maitlen driving in Rice. Hagle and Maitlen scored on singles by LaMasters and Peyton Rice.

“I was just proud of the fact that we battled back.

We were dead in the water,” McCabe said.

Heading to a doubleheader at Harlan with a conference win will put the Panthers a bit more at ease mentally.

“Sometime that first conference win is the toughest and to get that win on the road is tough,” McCabe said.

Foglesong picked up the win in the circle for Creston.

She struck out seven batters and three of her seven runs allowed were earned.

The Panthers were missing Lexie Little, who played her last soccer game Tuesday for Creston.

SOCCER: CONT. FROM | 6A

Morgan Eckmann to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead.

The Panthers controlled possession for a bit longer before Olivia Kock got the Vikings’ scoring started in the 26th minute thanks to a long pass to her on the left wing and a finish at the net.

Two minutes later, AHSTW took the lead when Sarah True finished at the net.

Creston’s lead evaporated just as quickly as it had gained.

“We started strong and we like to start and finish the half strong,” Creston senior captain Katie Powers said.

“Somewhere in between we just don’t (finish) and that’s how we lose it. We cover their weaknesses and then when they see us start slacking, they try to fill those in.”

Instead of tucking their tails and heading into the half downtrodden, Creston ended the half strong, just as Powers noted.

Bre Ross facilitated a coordinated attack in the midfield and helped put the ball on Grace Root’s foot.

Root turned and fired from right of the goal and outside of the box and finished her team-leading and school-record 14th goal of the year.

The Panthers came out of the halftime huddle with more fire offensively.

Creston attacked quickly to start the half, and struck gold when Logan Pettit tucked the ball inside the left post for a 3-2 Creston lead in the 46th minute.

Lexi Rounds had the lone assist for Creston’s offense.

While the two squads traded punches for the next 30 minutes, it was AHSTW who won the day.

Creston senior goalkeeper Leah Shuler prepares to save a shot by AHSTW’s Sarah True. Shuler picked up the save, and saved seven more in Creston’s 4-3, season-ending loss Tuesday. Senior Panther Katie Powers watches Shuler’s save.

Kock finished another goal with 10 minutes remaining to tie the game at 3-3.

True knocked in the killer two minutes later to finish the Panthers off.

Creston had one last chance in the final four minutes when a deflection trickled past Eckmann and toward the goal, but AHSTW senior Samantha Kloewer cleared the ball to erase Creston’s best chance in the final minutes.

Miscues proved to be Creston’s undoing.

“We fought hard. We did some really good things,” Lauffer said. “When we fall apart, we fall apart. We don’t fix what needs to be fixed.

That was something that was frustrating.”

Creston says so long to four-year varsity seniors Logan Pettit and Katie Powers, multi-year players Leah Shuler and Jeanette Blasi, and first-year players Lexie

Creston’s junior varsity fell to Clarinda 13-6. The Panthers managed two hits, one from Braelyn Baker and another from Peyton Rice.

“Need to do the little things right and other things will take care of itself within the game,” coach Teri Keeler said. “Glad we were able to battle and add the five runs to make it closer, just ran out of time.”

UP NEXT — Creston (23, 1-3), will play two at Harlan (1-2) starting at 5:30 p.m.

Powers had a moment to reflect on the past few years afterward.

She has been a captain for the team for the last three years.

“As the years have gone on, we’ve been able to become more of one team, which is what our motto has been the last two years,” Powers said. “Instead of just like a bunch of different groups of friends on the team, we’ve been able to put aside what we’re involved in outside of soccer and really be able to be like ‘this is why we’re here, this is why we love what we’re doing and we’re here for the same purpose.’”

Lauffer had plenty of positives to share about each.

She acknowledged this while making note of the strong core of young talent Creston brings back next season.

Next spring, the focus will be on finding new scorers, and finding ways to finish games. Creston lost seven games by one goal this season.

A participant has changed her race affiliation. The information needs to be changed in the computer that shows the information on the video board at the northeast end of the stadium.

The IAAF delegate, and the NACAC delegate for track and field’s governing body is there to watch, help with drug tests conducted at the Drake Tennis Center.

As Boldon is upstairs, the weather changes.

Rain begins to fall.

It isn’t heavy, but is enough for those in attendance to put on their rain gear.

10:45 a.m. - Boldon heads back downstairs. He is approached by University of Illinois coach Mike Turk. They talk for a few minutes about things.

As Boldon is talking to Turk, an older gentleman stands in the rain waiting for the conversation to end.

It is Boldon’s longtime friend, and longtime Drake Relays worker Al Ravenscroft.

Ravenscroft has manned the long jump pit.

The two friend share a friendly visit.

Boldon and Assistant Drake Relays Director — Relays Operations director Carolyn Hill and Boldon are frequently in touch about various things that have popped up.

11 a.m. — Boldon checks in with officials in the storage area on the northeast side of the stadium.

A gentleman tells Boldon it’s been a good show, nothing has been out of the ordinary.

It is a sign the meet is going very well, even with the horrible weather.

Boldon steps away for several minutes for various phone calls.

11:30 - Boldon makes

his way across the track and infield. He walks into the mix zone and media work room underneath the southwest corner of the stadium.

He introduces himself to the assembled media who are busy working on their stories, editing photos, editing their videos for their outlets.

“Thank you for making America’s Athletic Classic an important part of your coverage,” Boldon said.

He walks upstairs into the press box and does the same thing to the writers and Sports Information people working on stories, imputing statistics, updating social media feeds.

Noon — Boldon walks into the upstairs box.

There he grabs a quite bite to eat during the break on the track.

12:15 p.m. — Hill comes up to the box. They talk over different things about the meet.

Boldon compliments the work Hill is doing.

“You’re solving problems,” Boldon said.

12:30 p.m. - Boldon’s tasks require him to spend time paying attention to the elite athletes competing in events later in the afternoon.

Shows are put on throughout the state under the IJBBA sanction.

This year, Creston was well represented by two junior youths. Tyler Loudon of Creston was the champion junior showmanship exhibitor and Sammi Long of Creston was the reserve

Transitional housing for women in the works United Charitable Association has taken a major step in bringing transitional housing for women to the area. On Friday, May 5, the association signed a contract for a location in Lenox. This building will provide housing for up to five women with room for children. They hope to have the building operational by fall of this year.

Transitional housing is for people who need temporary shelter while they save money for deposits on utilities and rent. The association hopes this will help the local area keep good workers and draw other good workers to the area. The program is designed to house people from three weeks to three months. If someone needs additional time, the association will work with them.

Transients will be served on a per night basis at a flat rate.

Applicants will need to pass a background check to protect other residents and the staff. There will be a sliding fee scale based on a person’s income. This fee will include food on a cook-for-yourself basis, laundry facility and a play area for children. The program is not a counseling program. If a person needs professional assistance, staff will help them make appointments and get to those appointments.

United Charitable Association is a nonprofit (501(c)(3)) organization.

They do not use government funding and rely totally on the support of communities and the businesses in them. This program is designed to cover a 50-mile radius around Creston. United Charitable Association is also working on a men’s shelter.

For more information, or to contribute to the program, contact the Rev. De-

lores Doench at 641-2020314 or wxyzdee@gmail. com. Donations may be

sent to United Charitable Association, PO Box 402, Creston, IA 50801.
