American Legion closed Ted Cruz ends his bid for for business Republican nomination INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz ended his presidential campaign Tuesday, eliminating the biggest impediment to Donald Trump’s march to the Republican nomination.

The conservative tea party firebrand who cast himself as the only viable alternative to Trump announced his exit after a stinging defeat in Indiana’s Republican primary.

“It appears that path has been foreclosed,” Cruz told supporters in Indianapolis. “Together, we left it all on the field of Indiana. We gave it everything we’ve got, but the voters chose another path, and so with a heavy heart but with boundless op-

timism for the longterm future of our nation, we are suspending our campaign.”

Cruz had Cruz already been mathematically eliminated from clinching the delegate majority in the stateby-state primary process, but hoped to force a contested national convention in July.

That possibility ends Tuesday with the Texas senator’s announcement.

Colburn’s Corner Saloon scheduled to open at the former Legion location June 1 ■

O

n Monday, a change to the face of Creston’s nightlife became official when the former headquarters of the American Legion Post 70 closed its doors for good.

The building at 119 N. Walnut St. was home to the Legion for more than three decades and had come to be one of the goto hot spots for Crestonians to gather together and unwind on weekends.

The Legion was forced to close not because of a

lack of popularity among patrons, but by economic hardships shared by small businesses across the country over the past several years.

Three-time Post Commander and current Post Adjutant Bill Shallenberger said a steep decline in member participation in recent years made upkeep and operation of the building unmanageable.

“Over the past several years, you’d have maybe four to five people show up for meetings and usually those would be the officers,” Shallenberger said.

“In the past, there were times when we would have 50 or 60 people at meetings.”

In addition to handling administrative duties of the American Legion chapter, Shallenberger was also the bar manager.

For many Crestonians

young and old, the Legion was a staple of weekend life, giving them the chance to unwind with cold drinks, karaoke and live music without breaking the bank.

Despite the hefty expenses that came with all of this, customers were only charged a cover fee a single time.

Festivities at the building are not a thing of the past altogether, though. Soon, locals will once again be gathering under the same familiar roof but with a new name and new look.

After some remodeling of the building’s interior features are complete, new owners Steve and Rebecca Colburn will be opening Colburn’s Corner Saloon, a western-themed bar. The Saloon plans to carry on the traditions of karaoke and live bands and the addition of a kitchen. The opening of the Saloon is

2016 Iowa’s Best Burger named at The Chuckwagon AMES – The 2016 Iowa’s Best Burger has been found in Adair at The Chuckwagon Restaurant. The Chuckwagon embraces the rich history of Adair through its restaurant and menu offerings.

The Iowa Cattlemen’s Association (ICA) and the Iowa Beef Industry Council (IBIC) announced the winner Monday during a live broadcast in Adair. The two organizations have teamed up to sponsor Iowa’s Best Burger contest seven times.

This year, Iowans submitted more than 6,000 votes nom-

inating 311 restaurants in February and March. Those votes were used to select the top 10 restaurants. The top 10 were then independently visited and judged based on the hamburger’s taste, appearance and proper serving temperature of 160 degrees.

“The judges found that the burgers at the Chuckwagon were juicy and full of flavor,” said Brooke German, director of marketing for IBIC. “They use a toasted bun on every burger, and their ADAIR | 2A

renovation in 2012. In 2014, Reha changed the name and the menu, launching her now-famous “Endless Homemade French Fries” and hand-pattied burgers.

The restaurant, which is clearly visible from Interstate-80 on exit 76, is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. during the summer. Burgers start around $9, but the “Burger of the Week” is $2 off. Breakfast is served all day. There is a seating capacity of 112 and a patio area was added in 2015, and they are happy to take reservations, too.

Other restaurants that made the top 10 with the Chuckwagon Restaurant are: Ankeny Diner in Ankeny; BW’s Burgers in West Des Moines; Down Right Delicious in Clarinda; Elm’s Club in Creston; First Street Grille in Keosauqua; PerXactly Bar and Grill in Maquoketa; Rides Bar and Grill in Fort Dodge; The Ritz in Arnolds Park and Vaughn’s Café and Bakery in Clarinda.

Previous winners in the contest are: 2015 – The Cider House in Fairfield; 2014 – Brick City Grill in Ames; 2013 – 61 Chop House Grille in Mediapolis; 2012 – Coon Bowl III in Coon Rapids; 2011 – Rusty Duck in Dexter; and 2010 – Sac County Cattle Company in Sac City.

homemade house seasoning helped to enhance the flavor of the burgers.”

The burgers at the Chuckwagon are six-ounce, hand-pattied Certified Angus Beef and grilled on a flat-top grill using a house seasoning.

They are made-to-order with toasted bread or grilled buns.

Popular burgers include the bacon cheeseburger and the Chuckwagon, a burger served on a grilled bun with sautéed onions, mushrooms, bacon, tomato and Thousand Island dressing. Served alongside homemade fries and a classic milkshake, the meal is hard to beat.

The restaurant’s owner, Kim Reha, is a lifelong resident of Adair. She purchased the restaurant at the age of 22. Although she considered a career as a surgical technician, she knew her passion was in the restaurant business. At that time, she already had eight years of experience working in restaurants, and the hands-on learning has served her well.

The restaurant, which Reha has owned for eight years, is formerly Happy Chef. Over time, she has made improvements, including an interior

quest, Cruz would have been the first U.S. president of Hispanic descent, although he often downplayed his heritage on the campaign trail, instead, touting the need for tougher immigration laws, for a border wall along the border with Mexico, protecting gun rights, repealing President Barack Obama’s health care law and instituting a flat tax.

Cruz argued he was the only true conservative in the race, building on his reputation in the Senate where he clashed both with Democrats and members of his own party over his ideological stubbornness. Cruz railed against what he called the “Washington cartel,” trying to appeal to an electorate that is craving political outsiders.

But he ultimately couldn’t compete with Trump’s appeal among white, working class voters who were drawn to the billionaire’s outlandish approach to politics.

Cruz’s campaign placed its hopes on a data-driven effort to turn out conservative evangelical Christians who

had opted out of recent presidential elections. Increasingly, he would modify his travel schedule to go where data showed there might be pockets of untapped supporters.

With the scale tipping increasingly in Trump’s favor, he announced an extraordinary pact in April with his other rival, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, in which the two would divide their time and resources based on states where they were each poised to do better.

Days later, he prematurely named former Hewlett-Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina as his running mate, hoping it would woo some of the female voters turned off by Trump’s brash rhetoric.

Trump’s appeal to evangelicals, though, and the New York billionaire’s popularity with the broader Republican electorate, proved too much.

Cruz, 45, worked on George W. Bush’s 2000 campaign and went on to serve five years as the top attorney for the state of Texas, arguing nine cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.

He parleyed that experience into an underdog run for the U.S. Senate, defeating the adorned the Legion, including a hand-carved memorial sign, copper plaque with names of local World War II veterans and numerous historical photographs will be preserved through the efforts of Shallenberger and Mayor Gary Lybarger. Lybarger is working with a local committee to find appropriate public spaces for the items to be displayed.

“I just want them to be seen to remind people that freedom is not free,” Lybarger said.

Possible locations for the historical items include the Historical Village or Me-

state’s lieutenant governor in the primary before winning election in 2012.

He first burst on the national political landscape in 2013 when he led a 21-hour quasi-filibuster against President Barack Obama’s health care law, reading his children Dr. Seuss’s “Green Eggs and Ham” as a bedtime story via CSPAN during the marathon effort.

Cruz later teamed with the most-conservative members of the House to spark a government shutdown. It ultimately didn’t accomplish any major Republican goals, but raised Cruz’s national profile even more.

Cruz built a coalition of like-minded Republicans in Congress, as well as former presidential rivals — Fiorina, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, ex-Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Lindsey Graham among them — but won only minimal support from his Senate colleagues.

Cruz’s campaign slogan of “Trusted” was tarnished after he was forced to apologize to Ben Carson for falsely suggesting the night of the Iowa caucuses that the retired neurosurgeon was dropping out of the race.

Cruz also abruptly fired his

communications director a day before the Nevada caucuses for spreading a false story about Florida Sen. Marco Rubio disparaging the Bible.

Trump nicknamed Cruz “Lyin’ Ted,” and derided him as “unstable,” ‘’crazy,” ‘’a maniac” and “sick.”

Trump also questioned whether Cruz’s birth in Canada disqualified him to run for president, frequently threatening to sue him over the issue. He never followed through, but several suits were filed, including in Cruz’s home state of Texas.

Cruz initially avoided attacking Trump, hoping that the former reality TV star’s supporters would flow to him if Trump flamed out. As Trump’s momentum grew with early primary victories, Cruz fought back and said Trump can’t be trusted because of his past support for Democrats, abortion rights and same-sex marriage.

But it was too late.

Cruz was joined on stage with his parents, as well as by Fiorina and his wife, Heidi.

He made no mention of the Republican front-runner, vowing instead to continue his fight for liberty and for the Constitution.

Obama visiting Flint for first Author says he now thinks father wasn’t Iwo Jima flag-raiser time since water crisis began DES MOINES (AP) — The Associated Press. “The On Monday, the Marine Bradley, whose book was Earnest said Tuesday.

In an effort to save money, the city began drawing its water from the Flint River in April 2014. Despite complaints from residents about the smell and taste and health problems, city leaders insisted the water was safe. However, doctors reported last September that the blood of children contained high levels of lead.

The source of the city’s water was subsequently switched back to Detroit, but the lead problem still is not fully solved, and people are drinking filtered or bottled water.

The political and legal fallout is ongoing. An independent commission appointed

by Republican Gov. Rick Snyder determined the state was primarily responsible for the water contamination in Flint, and he issued an apology. The Obama administration’s response, through the Environmental Protection Agency, has also come under criticism from Snyder and some in Congress who say that the EPA didn’t move with necessary urgency upon hearing of problems.

The author of a best-selling book about his father and other men who raised a U.S. flag at Iwo Jima during World War II said Tuesday he no longer believes his father was in an iconic photograph of the event.

James Bradley, who wrote the book “Flags of Our Fathers,” said in a telephone interview that questions raised about the photo by two amateur historians, which have prompted a Marine Corps investigation, led him to think back on comments his father made about the 1945 flag-raising. Those comments by John Bradley, who died in 1994, now lead James Bradley to believe his father participated in an earlier flag-raising, but not the one captured in the famous picture.

“My father raised a flag on Iwo Jima,” Bradley told

Marines told him way after the fact, ‘Here’s a picture of you raising the flag.’ He had a memory of him raising a flag, and the two events came together.”

AP photographer Joe Rosenthal shot the photo on Feb. 23, 1945, on Mount Suribachi, only days into a bloody battle with the Japanese that would stretch on for weeks. The picture was displayed on front pages of newspapers across the U.S., later was used in a war bond sale and was depicted in the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia.

Since 1947, the Marines have identified the Iwo Jima flag-raisers as John Bradley, Rene Gagnon, Ira Hayes, Harlon Block, Michael Strank and Franklin Sousley. All were Marines except Bradley, who was a Navy corpsman.

Corps announced it had begun investigating whether it mistakenly identified one of the men after history buffs Eric Krelle, of Omaha, Nebraska, and Stephen Foley, of Wexford, Ireland, began raising doubts about the matter. They argued that the man believed to be Bradley actually was Sousley, and that the person for decades thought to be Sousley was Harold Henry Schultz, who previously wasn’t thought to have any connection to the flag-raising.

All of those involved in the flag-raising have died, including three who were killed in later fighting at Iwo Jima.

made into a movie directed by Clint Eastwood, said misidentifying the men who joined in the second flag-raising would be an easy mistake.

“The key is, no one was keeping track,” he said.

“There was the fog of war, post-traumatic stress.”

Bradley said after reviewing his father’s statements and photographs from that day on Mount Suribachi, he’s confident his father wasn’t in the famous picture, but it’s impossible to be 100 percent certain.

“I know what these guys look like. I’ve studied them for years,” he said. “But I could be wrong.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is set to meet with residents of Flint, Michigan, to hear how they’re managing after lead from old pipes tainted their drinking water.

And he is bringing a message to Flint on Wednesday: a promise for change.

Obama declared a state of emergency in mid-January and ordered federal aid to supplement the state and local response. At that point, however, the crisis was in full bloom.

It actually took several months for the nation to focus its attention on the beaten-down city’s plight, raising questions about how race and poverty influenced decisions that led to the tainted water supply and the beleaguered response once problems surfaced.

More than 40 percent of the city’s residents live in poverty and more than half are black.

“The fact that something like this happened in a community that is so economically disadvantaged is something that troubles the president,” White House spokesman Josh

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, May 4, 2016

Sanders, Cruz campaigns take critical blows HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The National Football League held its annual college player draft in Chicago Thursday which was nationally televised live on ESPN. Two hundred young men who had been college seniors on Thursday became millionaires on Friday. It was the worst day ever for the Bernie Sanders campaign.

The New York Times reports that the fierce opposition to Donald Trump is receding as he gets closer to the GOP nomination.

People are becoming less and less offended by him. Last night, George Clooney told CNN that if Trump is elected president, he’s moving to the office across the hall.

The Wall Street Journal poll came out Monday showing Donald Trump was leading Ted Cruz by seventeen points among Indiana voters just before the primary. Ted Cruz didn’t flinch when he heard the news. Ted named

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

his Supreme Court nominees and hopped on the next plane to California.

President Obama spoke at the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday and thanked the press for working with him for eight years. The collusion has produced a nasty backlash. Last week the guy who shot Bambi’s mother endorsed Donald Trump, and Trump went up six points in the polls.

The Weather Channel reports massive rainstorms in the South and Southwest have caused the Red River to crest at near flood levels. There is water everywhere. Marie Osmond just filmed a TV commercial for a diet program very popular in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, it’s

called Swim Fast.

President Obama addressed reporters last week and hailed the signing of the Global Warming Pact signed in Paris by dozens of industrialized nations. The cause Obama will never suffer from lack of publicity. It’s widely accepted as fact that global warming is the number-one cause of documentaries.

Ted Cruz’s poll numbers in Indiana began falling Friday after former Speaker John Boehner referred to Ted Cruz as Lucifer in the Flesh. Satanists were outraged. Leave it to this year’s field of presidential candidates to produce a situation that gives Devil worshippers the moral high ground.

Hillary Clinton apologized to Native Americans after she told

NBC News she had dealt many times with men who’d gone off the reservation. It’s odd for her to apologize. She’s the one who charged companies $200,000 for her talk entitled the Importance of Free Speech.

Caitlyn Jenner accepted Donald Trump’s invitation Friday and shot video of herself using the women’s restroom in Trump Tower. The video footage she shoots is very true-to-life. After Caitlyn leaves the restroom she walks back inside and berates herself for not remembering to put the seat down.

Sons of Confederate Veterans in Kentucky got a court order to block the removal of a seventy-foot high Confederate monument from the University of Louisville. God forbid American kids learn their history. Once they learn the Civil War erupted over tariffs not slavery, the Internet could explode.

Titanic: Honor and Glory is a

new video game that depicts the Titanic hitting the iceberg and sinking with the crew and male passengers aboard. It takes three hours. To this day, lawmakers will only sail on Italian liners, because there’s none of this nonsense about women and children first.

A Carnival Cruise Ship sailed into Havana, becoming the first U.S. cruise ship to dock in Cuba in years. What mad U.S. general engineered this attack? There’s always enough novo-virus on a Carnival ship for Cuba to haul us into the World Court and charge us with waging biological warfare.

President Obama delivered a hilarious monologue at the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday. It was the fifth anniversary of the raid on bin Laden’s compound, and Obama was able to say the same thing at the end of the correspondent’s dinner that he said at the end of the raid. I killed.

Anti-Trump protesters do his bidding

Donald Trump is lucky in his enemies.

Every time leftist protesters disrupt one of his events or stage a riot outside, he benefits. They aren’t on the Trump payroll, but they might as well be. The protests are catnip to cable TV — as if Trump needed any more free media attention — and provide the perfect framing for Trump’s message that only he has the strength to defy the forces of chaos and political correctness.

At California campaign stops last week, anti-Trump protesters blocked a freeway entrance, stomped on and tried to overturn a police car, threw rocks at passing vehicles and bloodied a Trump supporter. They tried to shut down the California GOP convention where Trump spoke (he had to enter the hotel through a back entrance). And some of them were waving Mexican flags. In other words, they could have been cast in a Trump reality show about his own campaign.

These kind of protests are quickly becoming accepted as part of the scenery, but they are a noxious breach of our political norms. There is never an excuse for violence, and attempting to shut down an event because you disagree with things that are being said there is speech suppression worthy of Brown University or Oberlin College.

The anti-Trump protests get media coverage, but not wall-towall outrage, since the left tends to get a free pass for its lawless-

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

ness (it is always presumed to be in the cause of truth and justice).

Imagine if inflamed conservatives were constantly interrupting Bernie Sanders rallies and trying to obstruct his events. A thousand cable debates and op-eds would be devoted to dissecting the dangerous thuggery of the right.

Whatever you think of their tactics, the anti-Trump protesters are dancing to his tune. Trump is not a candidate of freedom, but of order. Every time he is seen as standing up to a mob, it enhances and cements his brand with his supporters. Especially when that mob is waving the flag of a foreign country.

It allows him Trump to pose as the protector of the community, as a champion of free speech, as a man too courageous to back down from telling truths that the other side doesn’t want to hear.

Politics as it is conventionally practiced involves smoothing over rough edges and emphasizing unity. Trump does it differently. He has gotten to the cusp of the Republican nomination with a genius

for raw, emotive spectacle (made more spectacular by the telegenic disruptions of protesters). He is unapologetically divisive. He has realized from the beginning that by angering and outraging all the people who will never support him (at least not now), he could earn the undying loyalty of a critical mass of people who will always support him.

The cliche is that politics is a game of addition. For Trump, the computation is a little more complicated — the addition would be impossible without subtraction. If he weren’t so hated, he wouldn’t be so loved. He has gone out of his way to create a charged atmosphere around his candidacy.

He has — appallingly — egged on his supporters to punch protesters, and threatened violence at the Republican convention if he doesn’t get his way. His occasional pledges to become more presidential presumably involve toning down the belligerency, but it’s not clear if he is really inclined to dial it back, and even if he is, all that has transpired over the past year won’t be forgotten. He will continue to be a radioactive figure and draw protesters seeking to shut him down or, failing that, create an aura of discrediting chaos around his candidacy.

In 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama was dubbed “no-drama Obama.” Trump, so far, has been drama all the time. If he is the nominee, it will be a long, hot summer — and fall.

Wilson joins First National Union County 4-H’ers visit local poultry farm Bank marketing department Union County 4-H’ers and Clover Kids got to experience poultry on a large scale as they toured Dunphy Poultry Farms just outside of Creston as part of Union County’s 4-H SPecial INterest (SPIN) program. The youth got to visit the farm and see firsthand what it takes to raise market broilers. SPIN began in September and will last through June. “The SPIN program is meant to spark an interest in something new for the 4-H’ers,� said Haley Jones, county youth and outreach coordinator. ‘Each month a different event, workshop or tour is planned for the 4-H’ers.’ Colton Dunphy, manager of Dunphy Poultry Farms, gave the youth a tour of the broiler facility, grain and cooling systems and the computer room.

Dunphy Poultry Farms raises 26,000 broilers at a time, several times a year.

The farm receives the broilers at 12-hours-old and raises them to completion at 6-weeks-old. They are then shipped to Tecumseh Food in Nebraska.

This SPIN event tied in nicely with the upcoming

The program is sponsored by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation. The ceremony to recognize the 2016 century and heritage farms is scheduled to be held at the Iowa State Fair on Thursday, August 18, in the Pioneer Livestock Pavilion.

This is the 40th anniversary of the Century Farm Program, which was started in 1976 as part of the nation’s Bicentennial Celebration.

To date, more than 18,600 farms from across the state have received this recognition. The Heritage Farm program was started in 2006, on the 30th anniversary of the Century Farm Program, and 837 farms have been recognized.

Last year 366 century farms and 101 heritage farms were recognized.

LENOX – Taurus Sow welcomed Southwestern Community College (SWCC) students to the farm for an out-of-class experience that complimented their breeding and genetics course.

The collaboration between AMVC Management Services and SWCC exposed these students to a modern 4,700-head sow farm near Lenox. Before the trip to the farm, AMVC employees visited the classroom to discuss biosecurity, animal care and the AMVC production system. The following week, the students came on site and learned from Dan Weber, AMVC sow production manager, and AMVC sow farm managers Amanda Winslow and Joe Clemens.

The students rotated throughout the barn and learned about record-keeping, herd health and genetics, and helped with various tasks like assisting sows giving birth and artificially inseminating sows. “The students especially enjoyed breeding and helping the birthing sows,� said Beth Baudler, SWCC breeding and genetics course instructor. “None of the students had ever been

AMVC was excited to host such a bright group of students to the farm. “They asked a lot of good questions about the hows and whys of the sow farm,� said Winslow, sow farm manager at Taurus Sow. “My goal of

for the afternoon was to have the students understand the whole picture, not just what they read about in a textbook.�

Representatives from AMVC Management Services and SWCC hope this out-of-the-classroom opportunity is continued for future students. AMVC Management Services is headquartered in Audubon and manages 115,000 sows across seven states.

Two for the kitchen Dear Heloise: My mother, granddaughter and I enjoy reading your hints in the Charlotte Sun newspaper in Port Charlotte, Fla. I would like to share two hints that I use often in the KITCHEN: The first hint is to use the turkey baster to remove grease from the frying pan after browning or frying meats.

I tilt the pan so the grease collects on one side and then use the baster to transfer it from the pan to the container I use for grease. There are almost no drips, and I can put my baster in the dishwasher to clean.

My second hint is that I use a measuring cup that is made to separate grease from pan drippings to add ice-cold water to packaged sauce mixes. I put the ice in first and add the water over the ice. The spout drains from the bottom, so the ice doesn’t come out.

It stays in the cup and keeps the water cold. – Marianne D., Port Charlotte, Fla. SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000

Hints from Heloise Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com COOKIE DOUGH Dear Heloise: This may be old to some but new to me.

At a cookie-frosting party, the hostess showed how to roll uniform-thickness cookies. Take two dowels and lay them side by side about a foot apart. Put a chunk of your cookie dough between the dowels and roll it, with each side of the rolling pin resting on a dowel. You end up with uniform cookies. – Jean in McDonald, Ohio STORE RECIPES Dear Heloise: I sometimes find recipes that I want to keep while using my tablet computer. I don’t have a place in the tablet to save them. I received a new email address with my tablet. So now I copy the recipe and send it to myself at the new address. I also save them there. That is all I use this email address for, so it is like a storage box. If I need to send

We now keep a large, 32-ounce drink tumbler filled with soapy water in the sink.

All silverware gets a good soak in there before moving on to the dishwasher, and we have sparkling-clean silverware!

Warriors rally OAKLAND, Calif.

(AP) — Klay Thompson scored 27 points and gave Golden State its first lead of the game on a 3-pointer with 5:33 left, and the Warriors rallied to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 11099 on Tuesday night for a 2-0 lead in their Western Conference semifinal series.

Draymond Green added 17 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists and four blocked shots in another win without injured MVP Stephen Curry, sidelined with a sprained MCL in his right knee.

Game 3 is Saturday in Portland, and the reigning MVP might be back for that one.

NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala’s two free throws at 7:25 trimmed the Blazers’ lead to 9188 and Thompson’s 3 at 6:44 tied it, igniting the sellout crowd inside deafening Oracle Arena as the defending champions erased an early 17-point deficit.

Damian Lillard’s 3 to beat the third-quarter buzzer put Portland ahead 87-76 entering the final 12 minutes.

Panther tennis sweeps Chariton SIX STRAIGHT

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Creston/O-M boys pulled out a 5-4 victory and the Panther girls sailed 9-0 on senior night here in tennis action against Chariton Tuesday.

The Panther girls moved to 8-1 for the season in outscoring the Chargers 72-17 in match points. Alli Thomsen and Sydney Dunphy won 8-0 shutouts in singles and Jenna Taylor won 8-1 at No. 1 singles against Sarah Fuhs. The doubles team of Caitlin McIlravy and Dunphy breezed to an 8-1 victory.

“It was another great night to show our team’s strength,” said Creston/O-M assistant Amanda Plymale. “Tonight we were able to honor the seniors and all of their hard work throughout the years. I’m glad we could end our last home meet on a good win.

Here on out we were going to face some very competitive teams as we face Boone next week and begin postseason play.”

The Creston/O-M boys posted a 5-1 advantage in singles, with JV substitutes making up the doubles teams that fell 3-0 to the Chargers.

“It was interesting,” said Panther head coach Kevin Cooper. “We sent all 20 of our players to play against their 12. All 20 of our guys got in at least one match. It was a perfect night to play, so that was great as well. It was nice to get the win and some extra matches in.”

Creston/O-M boys improved to 7-1 and play in the Hawkeye 10 Tournament at Red Oak Monday.

Overtime burst TORONTO (AP) — It only counts as one win, though the Miami Heat had to work twice as hard to get it.

Goran Dragic scored 26 points, Dwyane Wade had seven of his 24 in overtime after Kyle Lowry’s halfcourt shot tied it at the buzzer, and the Heat beat the Toronto Raptors 102-96 on Tuesday night in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series.

Joe Johnson scored 16 points and Josh Richardson had 11. Hassan Whiteside had 17 rebounds for the Heat.

Game 2 is Thursday night in Toronto.

Lowry’s improbable 3-pointer from his own side of the halfcourt line capped Toronto’s sixpoint comeback in the final 20 seconds of regulation, but the Raptors couldn’t deliver in the extra session. Toronto went scoreless for the first 3:46 of overtime before DeMar DeRozan hit a jumper.

Dunks by DeMarre Carroll and Jonas Valanciunas made it 99-96 with just over 10 seconds to play. Toronto got the ball back after a Miami turnover on the inbounds play, but Wade stripped the ball from DeRozan and sealed it with a three-point play.

Mount Ayr runs away to sixth straight POI boys track title

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

CORYDON — Mount Ayr won two field events, six events on the track and only missed out on points in two events, as the Raiders rolled to a sixth straight Pride of Iowa Conference championship here Monday.

Mount Ayr scored 149 team points, well ahead of second-place Pleasantville’s 97. Nodaway Valley finished third with 56 points, with Lenox (50) and Southwest Valley (48) close behind in fourth and fifth. East Union took 11th with nine points.

“Two field event victories and six on the track was huge for us,” Mount Ayr head coach Brad Elliott said. “One of the most complete c o n f e r - Elliott ence performances we’ve had in awhile.”

With Mount Ayr’s girls team also winning the conference championship Monday night, Mount Ayr swept the two team titles for the seventh time in school history and first time since 2007.

Mount Ayr’s girls team won six straight POI titles under the direction of Dave Still. Ron Landphair and Brad Rumple coached the Mount Ayr boys to five straight conference titles from 1989 through 1993.

“Then in 94, 95 and 96, they lost by a combined nine points, otherwise they would have won 12 in a row!” Elliott said. “There’s been a lot of emphasis over the years on success at the conference track meet. We’re really fortunate that the kids have bought into that and try to continue some of those traditions that were started years ago.”

Raider senior Kyle Dolecheck had a part in four of M o u n t Ayr’s six victories on the track Monday night, Dolecheck repeating as conference champion in the 200 meters, 400 meters and 800 meters, while also anchoring Mount Ayr’s 4x400 to victory.

The Raider 4x400 team of Rhett Murphy, Mitchell Jennett, Trevor Anderson and Dolecheck finished just off the meet record in the event.

Mount Ayr also picked up victories in the 4x100 and 4x200 relay. In the field events, Jed McCreary won the discus competition with McCreary his throw of 132 feet, 5 inches.

Senior Nick Wurster, who injured his knee earlier this year in the long jump competition at the Chariton meet, j u m p e d Wurster for the first time since suffering that injury. He didn’t have any rust to knock off, as Wurster jumped a PR of 20-8 to win the event.

“I was really happy to see Nick Wurster back in action in the long jump,” Elliott said. “He picked up right where he left off. He scratched on a really big

jump right off the bat and then his second jump was 20 feet, 8 inches, which was his personal best. He’s still at sixth on our top 10 list. He’s close to that fifth spot.”

Nodaway Valley picked up wins in the 4x800 relay and distance medley relay, while junior Jared Corder won Corder the 1,600 meters in 4:44.90.

Southwest Valley’s Tony Klocke easily won the 110 Klocke meter high hurdles in 15.28 seconds.

INDIANOLA — Except for one spectacular shot about 20 minutes into the match, the Creston and Indianola boys soccer teams played a defensive standoff Tuesday night.

“They scored on a very good shot on a free kick.

It was taken from 30 yards away, shot right into the upper 90,” Creston coach Lucian Diaconu said. “After that we moved Evan Jacobson out of defense to create more offensive opportuni-

successful. All of the shots we had came in the second half. But by then they had a lot of people in the box and it was very difficult to score.”

A highlight for Creston was the performance of goalkeeper Payton Pry- Pryor or, who finished with 18 saves and one goal allowed.

Indianola improved to 3-6, including a previous 2-0 victory over Creston in the Winterset Tournament.

By LARRY PETERSON a hit to tie the game in CNA senior sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

FORT DODGE — Southwestern salvaged one victory and nearly snared another in an extra-inning defeat against the Iowa Central baseball team in a series that spanned four days.

The teams began with a doubleheader in cool, damp conditions Friday at Iowa Central, with the Spartans taking the opener, 5-3, as Rauvardo Torres picked up the pitching win.

Jared Heman and Alexander Rios clubbed doubles for the Spartans. Torres allowed six hits, two earned runs and struck out two.

Iowa Central took the nightcap, 7-6, in 10 innings.

“We were winning by one with two outs, two strikes on the hitter, and they got

the bottom of the eighth,” SWCC coach Pedro Martinez said. “We walked in the winning run.”

The series was rained out Saturday and again on Sunday field conditions were too wet, so it resumed with two games on Monday.

Iowa Central second baseman Erich Gonzalez, who played at Southwestern last year, provided the big blow for the Tritons with a grand slam homer in the eighth inning as Iowa Central rallied from a 4-1 deficit to win the final game, 9-4. It was just a 5-4 game before Gonzalez pounded the four-run slam.

Gabriel Leon and Rios hit doubles for the Spartans in the second game.

The Tritons allowed only three hits in sailing 10-9 in six innings in Monday’s opener.

in the back. But, with Becca doing such a good job commanding the defense with her experience and leadership, we probably should have pushed more speed up front to get more scoring opportunities. We know we can play better than this.”

Coming off a 7-2 win on Friday over Oakland Riverside, the Panther offense did not penetrate the net. Taylor Buxton had the most success in the offensive field with five shots, including three on goal. Fellow freshman Grace Root had three of her four shots on goal, including a hard free kick directly on target, but stopped by Chariton goalkeeper Taheton Decker.

Logan Pettit, Micah McCutchan and Shelby Palser each had two shots on goal for the Panthers. Ross had eight saves and Leah Schuler had three saves in a brief stint in the goal.

Chariton improved to 6-3 with its fourth straight victory.

Creston won the JV match, 2-1. Goals were by Karmen
