that,” said Woods. “He’s such a big part of our building and has been for so long – we wanted to do that for him.”

Woods’ daughter read “A Quilt for Mr. Mac,” a short story written by Woods’ mother, Phyllis Kaldenberg.

The story is about a young girl who helps her grandmother make a Quilt of Valor for her friend, Mr. Mac. Clark was presented with the Quilt of Valor following the short story. Clark couldn’t hold back his emotions once presented with the quilt. The surprise was such that Clark couldn’t fully express his gratitude following the commemoration.

10 swans to be released in southern Iowa CORNING – The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will be releasing swans at four locations in southern Iowa in May as part of its state wide trumpeter swan restoration effort.

Swans will be released 1:30 p.m. May 6 at Pin Oak Marsh in Chariton; 1:30 p.m. May 11 at Viking Lake State Park near the restaurant beach area in Stanton; 9:30 a.m. May 12 at Lake Icaria Recreation Area on the north side of lake at the east boat ramp in Corning; and 1:30 p.m May 12 at Lake Anita State Park in Anita. Each location will receive two swans except Lake Icaria near Corning, which will receive four swans.

Directions to each release site are available on the calendar of events listing on the Iowa DNR’s website at www.iowadnr. gov/Conservation.

Filmmaker Steve Harryman plans to collect video footage and conduct interviews at Viking Lake State Park, Lake Icaria, Lake Anita State Park and at a restored wetland with nesting swans, for his upcoming documentary “Return of the Trumpeter Swans.”

Harryman is working in conjunction with the Trumpeter Swan Society.

Each release will feature a program on trumpeter swans and an opportunity for attendees to see, touch and get photos with the largest waterfowl in North America. The all-white birds can weigh up to 32 pounds and have a wingspan reaching up to 8 feet.

Trumpeter swans were once common in Iowa, but were gone from the state by the late 1880s. By the early 1930s, only 69 trumpeter swans remained in the lower 48 states.

what actually occurred — had left him in a compromised position, according to a person familiar with her expected statements.

The person was not authorized to discuss the testimony by name and requested anonymity.

White House officials have said publicly that Yates merely wanted to give them a “heads-up” about Flynn’s Russian contacts, but Yates is likely to testify that she expressed alarm to the White House about the incidents, according to the person.

Trump has said he has no ties to Russia and isn’t aware of any involvement by his aides in Moscow’s interference in the election. He’s dismissed FBI and congressional investigations into his campaign’s possible ties to the election meddling as a “hoax” driven by Democrats bitter over losing the White House. He’s also accused Obama officials of illegally leaking classified information about Flynn’s contacts with Kislyak.

Also scheduled to testify is former National Intelligence Director James Clapper, who attracted attention for a March television interview in which he said that he had seen no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia at the time he left government in January.

Republicans have seized on that statement as vindication for the Trump campaign, but investigations are ongoing.

The Associated Press meanwhile reported last week that one sign taken as a warning by Obama administration officials about Flynn’s contacts with Kislyak was a request by a member of Trump’s own transition team made to national security officials in the Obama White House for the classified CIA profile of Kislyak. The revelation came after interviews with a host of former U.S. officials, most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss sensitive national security information.

Marshall Billingslea, a former Pentagon and NATO official, wanted the information for Flynn, his boss. Billingslea knew Flynn would be speaking to Kislyak, according to two

“Helping Celebrate Life”

WASHINGTON (AP) — An Obama administration official who warned the Trump White House about contacts between one of its key advisers and Russia is set to speak publicly Monday for the first time about the concerns she raised.

Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates is testifying before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The highly anticipated hearing — it is Yates’s first appearance on Capitol Hill since her firing in January — is expected to fill in basic details in the chain of events that led to the ouster of Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser, in the early weeks of the administration.

The February resignation followed media reports that Flynn had discussed U.S.-imposed sanctions on Russia with Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition period, which was contrary to the public representations of the White House.

Trump moved to distance himself from his former adviser’s troubles Monday, tweeting that it was the Trump Obama administration that gave Flynn “the highest security clearance” when he worked at the Pentagon. Trump made no mention of the fact that Flynn was fired by the Obama administration in 2014.

In a second tweet, Trump said Yates should be asked under oath “if she knows how classified information got into the newspapers” soon after she raised concerns about Flynn with White House counsel Don McGahn on Jan. 26.

Yates is expected to testify that she warned McGahn that Flynn’s contacts — and the d i s c r e p - Yates ancies between what the White House said happened on the calls and

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about companies that solicit donations.

– Heloise “Dear Heloise: I get tired of all the pleas for contributions and the companies that sell your information to other companies. They spend all that money on staff, stamps, envelopes and address labels. Why not use the money for the charities instead of begging me for money?

“I finally stopped them, even the ones I liked. Just write ‘Do Not Solicit’ on the bill or request for funds and send it back to them. I kept a list so I’d be sure there were no repeats. It worked.” – JoAnn A., Booneville, Miss.

FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Lemons not only smell fresh, but have the added advantage of multiple uses: * Rub half a lemon over a chopping block to remove odors and kill bacteria. * Sprinkle lemon juice over foods that tend to turn brown after they’re sliced, such as apples and avocados. * Remove stains from plastic. * Whiten fingernails that have turned yellow from nail

polish. – Heloise DID YOU KNOW? Dear Readers: At room temperature, lemons will stay fresh for up to two weeks and up to six weeks in the refrigerator. – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

I know there are things I shouldn’t compost, but what are they? – Molly K., Brookfield, Wis. Molly, yes, there are several things that shouldn’t go into your compost: * No cat or dog droppings.

These might contain parasites. * Coal or charcoal. * Anything that has fungus, such as fungus on plants. * Fish, cheese or meat leftovers. These attract raccoons, opossums and other

critters. * Oil and grease. * No bones. Like coal and charcoal, these take a very long time to decompose.

So glad to know you’re starting a compost pile. This will enrich your soil with nutrients the natural way. – Heloise OLD TOOTHBRUSHES Dear Heloise: As a recent graduate of dental school, I can tell you there are many uses for old toothbrushes.

After replacing your toothbrushes, try using them for: * Cleaning tile grout with baking soda. A toothbrush gets into the grout lines. * Applying hair dye to the roots is easier with an old toothbrush. * Use the handle to poke a hole in the ground, then drop in a seed(s) and use the brush part to cover the hole with dirt. * It’s wonderful for cleaning under your fingernails. * Use it to brush your eyebrows. A cheap child’s toothbrush works well for this idea. – Lana V., Fresno, Calif. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Coaching exits Diaconu, Cassady to depart Creston

By KALEB CARTER CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews. com

Creston boys head soccer coach and shared Creston and Lenox schools part-time physical education teacher Lucian Diaconu will not return as head coach, and has submitted his resignation as soccer coach, effective at the conclusion of the season, to the school.

In February, the Creston Community School District decided to eliminate shared positions.

With Diaconu and Mitch Sorensen of Lenox both sharing the part-time position, the jobs were consolidated into one, and Sorensen received the physical education job.

Diaconu will finish out his second-season at the helm of the team. The Panthers posted a record of 3-14 in year one under Diaconu as head coach. The program has seen rapid improvement in year two, with the Panthers now the owners of a 7-5 record.

In 2016, the Panthers were outscored 60-17.

This season, Creston is outscoring its opponents 38-17.

Diaconu issued a statement to the News Advertiser about his time at the helm of the program.

“I started in the spring of 2012, same for Jesus Rodriguez, the head coach at the time. The previous season was rough 0-13.

Back then w e started a great soccer Diaconu foundation in Creston. In 2014, when he left, I took over.

I continued to share my dedication towards this program and together with coach (Bob) Irr and coach Britt (Roberts), we proved that we are capable to have a great soccer program in Creston. I am thankful to everyone that worked for me, thankful to meet all these young souls, and very thankful for the longtime relationships established here. I hope I leave behind a good mark here and I wish the best to whoever carries on this program. Soccer was, is and always will be down to my heart and Creston will be a great memory.”

PANTHERS SOCCER CSI: Creston — Futbol frenzy at Creston Saturday Panthers boys and girls combine to win three of four ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Creston’s boys and girls soccer teams both found success in Saturday’s home Creston Soccer Invitational played on the high school football field and on the field in front of of the middle school.

The Creston boys won the home title with an aggregate score of 9-0 in wins over Clarinda Academy and Riverside.

The Panther girls posted their first shutout of the year in a win over Boone before falling to Underwood 2-0 in the championship game.

Possessing the ball and making good passes was a point of emphasis for Creston’s boys in practice over the course of the previous 10 days since they had last played a game.

By controlling possession and mounting well put together attacks, the Panthers found themselves in the scoring column repeatedly.

“It all started with possessing and dominating the game through passes,” Creston coach Lucian Diaconu said.

Gavin Woods has been, and continues to be Creston’s main threat. Saturday, he became the subject of his opponents nightmares when he scored five goals over the two contests.

Woods’ two goals in the Clarinda Academy game played in front of the middle school came in the second half. The Panthers shot 18 times on goal in the win over the Eagles.

Brenden McDowell, Evan Jacobson and Lee Normandeau all found their way into the scoring column in the Clarinda Academy game. Ben Irr, Trevor Marlin, Patrick Normandeau and McDowell all recorded assists against the Eagles.

Woods capped his hat trick in game two with 19 minutes left to play. He now has 16 goals this season, good for fourth in Class 1A. “His strength in finding those open spaces, we call them ‘pockets,’ he was able to identify those,” Diaconu said. “He also had good dribbling and trapping techniques today. He’s an opportunistic guy and he’s also a skill guy too. I think today both of those played in his favor.”

Cole Higgins notched the last goal of the day in the 46th minute of the title game when he booted the ball 40-plus yards on a free kick just beyond the reach

of the Riverside keeper.

“It was beautiful. Just beautiful,” Diaconu said.

Irr and Jacobson had assists in Riverside win.

Creston keeper Payton Pryor had to save just seven shots over the course of the two clean sheets.

UP NEXT — Creston (75, 0-4) travels to Kuemper Catholic (5-6, 0-3) Tuesday for a 5:30 p.m. game.

Creston sophomore Dale Boyer, who earned two yellow cards for a red in the Clarinda Academy game, sat out game two and will not be able to play in Tuesday’s game.

Panther girls post first shutout of season The Creston girls soccer team picked up its first shutout-win since 2015 in a 2-0 win over Boone Saturday before falling 2-0 to Underwood in the title game on the high school football field.

Boone found no sustained offensive success as Creston limited the Toreadors’ scoring chances consistently with persistent midfield and back line play.

Creston’s Devon Buls finally broke through for a goal with just over 10 minutes remaining. A teammate played a ball to her in a congested area in the box several feet from the left goal post.

“I saw the ball go through all of the defenders and I saw people lying in the goal so I had to take a second,

make sure I didn’t hit anybody and then I just put it in the net,” Buls said.

Buls, a sophomore, is in her third year of soccer, and the score was her first in game action.

Lexi Rounds notched the second goal minutes later when she and the Boone keeper jostled for a loose ball and Rounds squeaked it past her.

But it was the Creston defense that most impressed Creston coach Kim Lauffer.

“To have the defense play as well as they have, we’ve had several players step on off of the bench so to speak who were not normal starters for us this year and do a phenomenal job,” Lauffer said. “The fact they held their own back there was huge.”

In the championship game, Creston kept Underwood scoreless until about the last minute of the first half.

The defense thwarted the Eagles more than a few times, but it was Underwood who broke through.

Emma Bonnet took the ball away deep in Creston’s own half, and easily put the ball past Creston keeper Leah Shuler.

Jasmine Benedict scored the second goal in half number two in the 54th minute to seal the deal for the EaCNA photo by KALEB CARTER Creston sophomoren Lee Normandeau puts a charge gles.

SPARTAN BASEBALL Spartan baseball wins one over weekend against Indian Hills Region tourney starts Friday in Centerville ■

By RYAN KRONBERG

CNA sports editor rkronberg@ crestonnews.com

At times, the Southwestern Community College baseball team’s pitching staff can lock down opposing teams.

Two cases came in Saturday’s first game against Indian Hills and in Sunday’s first game.

The Spartan pitching staff kept the team in both games.

In Saturday’s first game, the offense did enough to

earn a 4-3 eight-inning win in Creston. Sunday, the Spartan bats could not quite find the holes in falling 1-0 in Centerville.

At other times, the pitching staff struggled, such as in game two both days. Indian Hills took game two Saturday 15-4 and game two Sunday 12-2 in Iowa Community College Athletic Conference play.

In game one Saturday, Gabriel Leon drove in Pedro Nazario with a single in the eighth for the Spartan win.

The win came at a good time, and in a key moment with the Region XI tournament coming up this weekend in Centerville.

“They battled against a good opponent,” said Southwestern coach Pedro Hernandez. ‘It was good to see. They keep working towards that at the tournament. If you want to make a good run in the tournament, you have to win games like that.”

Southwestern jumped out to a 3-0 lead with three in the first. Indian Hills countered with single runs in the second, fifth and seventh.

Indian Hills’ bats took advantage of shaky Southwestern pitching in game two.

The Falcons scored in six of the seven innings, tallying two in the first and second and one more in the third.

Southwestern pushed

three across in the bottom of the third, but Indian Hills responded with three in the the top of the fourth. The Falcons tallied two in the fifth and five in the seventh.

The Spartans added a run in the fourth.

“It’s one of those things this year if we play good half of the day, we don’t play good all day,” Hernandez said.

Five Spartan pitchers combined to allow 15 hits, and gave up eight walks.

“We were not able to throw enough strikes. We put too many runners on base,” Hernandez said. “We gave Indian Hills a lot of extra opportunities. Good teams like Indian Hills take

advantage of that.”

In Sunday’s first game, Jhon Vargas threw a complete game, allowing an unearned run.

“He couldn’t have done any better,” Hernandez said.

Indian Hills’ run came on a throwing error that allowed a Falcons runner to score from second.

The Spartan bats were quiet though.

“We made good contact, hit the ball solid,” Hernandez said. “We just didn’t find the holes.”

In game two, Spartan pitchers gave up seven walks and hit two batters.

SWCC SPORT SHOOTING SWCC sport shooting, growing, succeeding Program takes strides this season, caps off with strong finish ■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Sport shooting has been a sport that has been rapidly expanding at the high school level in Iowa and across the nation.

Its popularity is extending to the college level. Now almost every community college in Iowa has a sport shooting program.

As it expands at a fast pace at the college level, more and more young people have the opportunity to compete in it at the college level.

Southwestern Community College has taken advantage of that.

The Spartans are enjoying plenty of success out on the range.

Coach Marc Roberg’s program fared well at a pair of recent competitions.

The Spartans placed sixth in their division at the ACUA shoot in San Antonio, Texas, in early April.

Then, in late April, the Spartans enjoyed a solid day at the state SCTP College Championships in Ackley.

The team started with 31 members this season.

“It’s becoming real popular,” Roberg said. “There are more kids to choose from. There’s a lot of good shooters that are sitting out there. There’s so many high school programs.”

Roberg noted that Iowa has approximately 3,500 high school students participating in sport shooting, while Minnesota has over 12,000.

When Southwestern started its program a few years ago, it was one of the first college sport shooting programs in the state. Now every two-year college in Iowa either has a program or is in the process of starting a program.

The heart of the sport in Iowa is in northeast and eastern Iowa, Roberg noted.

Even then, there are still quality shooters in the region. The roster consists of almost exclusively of young people from southern Iowa.

It has kept Roberg and assistant coach Steve Malzahn busy during practices at the High Lakes Outdoor Alliance Range near Afton.

The team has been practicing twice a week.

Over the course of the fall, winter and spring, several shooters have made dramatic improvements.

Shooters shoot two rounds of 50 birds, for a 100 round total. They are scored on the birds they hit.

“We had two people at the beginning of the year that were shooting in the 70s out of 100 and have moved into the 90s. That’s a big improvement over where they were shooting,” Roberg said. “That’s nothing but hard work on their part.”

Whether the conditions have been nice, or not, they have been on the range refining the skills.

“They’ve all worked hard getting better,” Roberg said.

lost, so in terms of them being better than us, they proved that they were. They finished. We did not. The game again, was won and lost in the midfield.”

Where else Underwood proved better was in controlling the game in the midfield and in taking the ball away before the Panthers could mount many serious offensive attacks.

Getting rid of the ball to teammates in a more timely and efficient fashion will be a point of emphasis for Creston over the last few weeks of the regular season.

“Probably the biggest

Pictured from our season with our pitchleft are team members Hunter Anderson, Tanner Howard, Trevor Elwood, Clayton Dale ing staff,” Hernandez said. and Blade Smith.

“The more you shoot, the better you get. Most of these guys have worked hard to get better, try to figure out why they’re missing targets.

I can give them a few pointers, but it’s up for them to practice. They’ve been pretty good at it. I’ve seen a big improvement.”

At the shoot in Texas, Southwestern was sixth in Division Four in skeet, trap and sporting clays and third in five stand.

In trap, only seven birds separated second through sixth in the division. Overall, Southwestern was 30th out of 85 teams.

Sophomore Trevor Elwood, from Stanton (Griswold High School) shot a personal best of 98 to place 38th out of 398 shooters in the open class in the shoot at the National Shooting Sports Complex in San Antonio.

Elwood’s skill led to an invitation to shoot at the Olympic Training Center in Tillar, Arkansas.

Tanner Howard and Smith excelled in the long shot competition, each making $200 for the sport shooting endowment, which helps fund the program.

Prior to going to Texas, the team practiced in trap and five stand. They had never shot sporing clays, while a couple had shot skeet.

The team practiced those in Texas.

Conditions in San Antonio were far different than what the team had practiced in all spring. Roberg noted it was the first time they had not shot while wearing winter coats on.

The warm conditions, and winds that came up in the afternoon in Texas’ Hill Country made things challenging.

“When the wind came up, it really played havoc with them, but we still got sixth,” Roberg said.

In trap, Elwood shot a 98, a personal best. Smith tied a personal best with a 97. Hunter Anderson and Hunter Albers each shot a 93. Nate Woosley also shot a 93, tied for a personal best.

Jessica Aupperle hit 91 out of 100 targets, a personal best. Aupperle was 37th, out of 83, in the open class for women.

It was the first time Southwestern had won an award at a national shooting competition.

At the state SCTP shoot,

Southwestern was second in the 200 bird competition, fourth for high squad and third in the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference standings. Dale and Elwood each shot a 183, while Smith posted a 182 and Anderson and Howard matching 181s.

The team of Anderson, Albers and Howard tied for second in the E-skeet league. Anderson was runner-up high men’s award in the skeet league.

The Spartans won four of the five matches. However, Roberg noted due to an error on his part in understanding the scoring rules, Howard and Albers were shorted 50 birds each. The Spartans were 60 birds out of first, but shot 100 fewer birds.

Conditions for the state SCTP shoot weren’t good, Roberg noted, with temperatures in the 40s and winds in excess of 25 miles an hour in Southwestern’s final shoot of the season.

“Everyone performed really well with the tough conditions,” Roberg said. “All in all, it was a great way to cap off a good shooting season.”

Roberg and Malzahn have relied upon experienced shooters such as Blade

Smith and Clayton Dale to provide key leadership.

“Me and Steve Malzahn can’t sit there and coach 31 people,” Roberg said. “Individually, they’ve taken upon themselves, the more experienced shooters to look at things, make suggestions.

We look at the more experienced guys to take the lead on that.”

Smith and Dale are this season’s captains.

“They’ve been like right arms,” Roberg said.

“They’re the way I keep in touch with all the kids in practice, with schedules.

They’ve been real helpful out on the range. I can’t say enough about them. I wish I had 15 more like them.”

Due to various circumstances, the roster was down to 13 at season’s end, Roberg noted.

The 13 left are young people Roberg has a high amount of respect for.

“They’re top notch, hard working kids,” Roberg said.

“They’re good students.

They’re really good shooters.”

The shooters on this year’s team have an eye for the sport.

“Without a doubt, I love being around them,” Roberg said. “I’ve just enjoyed the heck out of this year.”

“Some days, they show flashes of greatness. Some days it’s a disaster.”

Southwestern finishes the regular season 18-35 and 5-19 in the league.

Fourth seeded Southwestern opens Region XI Tournament play against top seeded Iowa Western at 11 a.m. on Friday in Centervile in the double elimination tournament.

thing that our girls need to improve on now is taking too many touches on the ball,” Lauffer said. “Even along the side, they’re there, and they need to send it right away, And they take an extra touch and then we lose it. Same thing with having a shot. They have a nice chance to shoot it, but they think one more touch, And that one more touch is when we lose it.”

Creston recognized a large senior class of girls and boys players in between games.

The Spartans have shown good signs against the Reivers, dropping a 6-5 decision in Council Bluffs on April 9.

“We have to play well against them, put a full game together,” Hernandez said.

The second season means anything can happen.

“It’s 0-0. What a great way to put a full game together,” Hernandez said. “We’ll prepare, make the least amount of errors, pitch well and give ourselves a chance to win the game. They’ll be well prepared.”

“We’ll go out, give our best and hope it goes our way.”

A marquee win against national tournament qualifier, fifth-ranked Des Moines Area Community College and two postseason wins leaves the freshman class with hope for the future.

The search for a new coach will be underway shortly.

“First and foremost in any coach we’re looking for someone who has a strong passion for student athletes and helping them have a strong experience on and off the field,” Lorensen said.

Cassady will carry out her residence hall duties for the end of the year, but a new coach could find themselves in a different occupation with the college.

“We’re just looking forward to seeing who applies and going through the initial screenings,” Lorensen said.

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD

Raiderettes still perfect

Mount Ayr completes big week with win at home meet

■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Mount Ayr senior Blair Glendenning could recall only winning five or six track and field meets her first three years of high school.

Glendenning and the Raiderettes matched that total early in the season.

They have kept right on going, winning, winning and winning some more.

The perfect season continued for the Mount Ayr girls track and field team Thursday with a dominating finish in the Class A portion of the Raiderette Relays in Mount Ayr. Mount Ayr outpaced Wayne 165-111. Southwest Iowa was third with 82 points. Nodaway Valley took fourth with 71 points, followed by Central Decatur with 69 points. Southwest Valley placed sixth with 45.5 points, while Lenox was seventh with 23.5 points.

In the Class B portion, Bedford topped East Union 124-105 for the title. Murray was sixth with 65 points, followed by Diagonal with 38 points and Orient-Macksburg in eighth with 17 points.

“Going 11 in a row (in meets) is pretty awesome,” Glendenning said.

The Raiderettes accomplished something head coach Deb Larsen, and her assistant coach husband John, have not done in their 18 years of coaching the girls track and field team.

“It’s been a fun season,” Deb Larsen said.

Larsen shuffled the lineup a bit from Tuesday.

The Raiderettes still found ways to dominate.

“It was fun to see them run in different events,” Larsen said.

Mount Ayr picked up wins from Sara Winemiller in the shot put, Bailey Anderson in the 200, the 4x200 relay, Samantha Stewart in the 400 hurdles and the 4x400 relay.The Raiderettes

had several other quality finishes included Hannah Jackson in the shot put, Rachel Gregg, in the 3,000, the shuttle hurdle relay, the sprint medley relay, Keirston Klommhaus in the 200, Anderson in the 100, Johnson in the 100 hurdles and Ryann Martin in the 800 all taking second. The distance medley, MacKenzie Shields in the high jump and Stewart in the 400 each placed third.

Even with the retooled lineup, the Raiderettes still competed hard.

“We’re challenging them to mentally prepare, whether it’s warming up, cheering one another one, being excited about others’ successes,” Larsen said. “Mental focus is really important despite the weather, despite being tired. It is important to see what we can do.”

Mount Ayr’s ability to score points up and down the lineup has been crucial to its success this season.

“Our team’s really deep, so its fun to go out big in my senior year,” Glendenning said.

The home meet had its challenges less than 48 hours after running in Afton at the Pride of Iowa Conference meet.

Mount Ayr, along with many of the teams in the field, fought through weary legs.

CNA photo by RYAN KRONBERG

Southwest Valley senior Elizabeth Fuller and Mount Ayr sophomore Ryann Martin run stride for stride in the 800meter run. Fuller won the race in a Southwest Valley school record time of 2:40.68.

“It was kind of hard,” said Alyssa Johnson. “I felt really bad in my legs. I was tired.

It was tough.”

Nodaway Valley took advantage of the opportunity to see where various pieces fit in its potential state qualifying meet lineup.

One such piece was Reagan Weinheimer. She won the Class A 1,500 by nine seconds. Weinheimer was also victorious in the 400, while the sprint medley relay was victorious. The 4x400 relay was second, along with the 4x200 relay, “We’re trying to put the chess pieces together,” said Nodaway Valley coach Brett Welsch. “We wanted to see what Reagan looked like in the 1,500.”

The Wolverines will look to fine tune their state qualifying meet lineup at a meet Monday at Tri-Center.

“We’ll see what times are, do a little tweaking, change to see what we can get to state,” Welsch said.

Southwest Valley took a light-hearted approach to the meet.

Even with the more laid back approach, with girls running events they wanted to run in, the Timberwolves still had much success.

“We had some kids perform really well,” said Southwest Valley coach Jason Stults.

Elizabeth Fuller led the way, winning the Class A 800 in a school-record time of 2:40.68.

“She normally runs relays.

She’s been wanting to run the open eight, so we gave her a shot and she did it.”

The Timberwolves’ confidence bounced back after the Pride of Iowa meet.

Danica Sunderman was third in the discus, while Kaylee Jacobs was third in the 3,000, and the sprint medley relay was fourth.

“We feel good about it,” Stults said. “It got the girls re-energized after conference, especially the younger girls. The girls are really young. It’s good for them to come out here and have a

little success.”

The meet, where both classes ran together, challenged East Union.

Coach Rich Bryson saw his girls rise to the test.

The Eagles picked up wins from Emma Harper in the 800, the shuttle hurdle relay, sprint medley and 4x100 relay. East Union was second in the sprint medley and the 4x800 relay.

“Sometimes the girls talk about are they being pushed,” Bryson said. “A lot of events got pushed. There was a lot of quality talent on the track.”

Times and placings were important in the meet, and will be again at the state qualifying meet.

“If you want to get to the next level, you have to run against quality competition. If you get to state, everybody’s good. There are no slouches,” Bryson said.

“Are you pushing yourself hard enough? Are you training hard enough to do well? We’ve already got the times.”

Murray took a lighter approach two nights after the Bluegrass Conference meet.

The Lady Mustangs were led by Hailey Chew’s runner-up finish in the long jump and Zoie Lecy’s runner-up finish in the 100.

Lacy was also third in the 200.

“We backed off with Hailey Chew — she did a good job long jumping. Zoie Lecy did a good job in the 100 and 200,” said Murray coach Keith Shields. “Kylie Shields did a nice job placing in both distance races.

The relays came out and competed.”

The meet opened the eyes of the younger Lady Mustangs.

“They learn what they need to do to push themselves a little harder to take themselves to the next level,” coach Shields said.

“We’ve got some younger girls who were nervous.

They’ve heard about the Mount Ayrs and other schools. It’s good for them to get into the mix, see what elite runners are like and what it’s going to take to push themselves to put themselves in position.”

Lenox was led by Jacy Stoaks’ second-place finish in the discus.

Diagonal picked up a win from Maddie Lohmann in the 3,000. She was second in the 1,500 and third in the 800. The Maroonettes also placed third in the distance medley relay.

Orient-Macksburg was led by a third-place finish from Cortney Gross in the long jump, a fourth-place finish from Gross in the 100 and a fourth-place finish from the sprint medley relay.

RUSSIA: CONT. FROM | 2A

former Obama administration officials, and seemed concerned Flynn did not fully understand he was dealing with a man rumored to have ties to Russian intelligence agencies. When reached by the AP last week, Billingslea refused to comment. Last month, Trump announced his intention to nominate Billingslea to serve as assistant secretary for terrorist financing at the Treasury Department.

Yates’ warning about Flynn in January capped weeks of building concern among top Obama officials, former officials told the AP. President Barack Obama himself that

month told one of his closest advisers that the FBI, which by then had been investigating Trump associates’ possible ties to Russia for about six months, seemed particularly focused on Flynn.

Yates, a longtime federal prosecutor and Obama administration holdover, was fired Jan. 31 by Trump after refusing to defend the administration’s travel ban. She had been scheduled to appear in March before the House intelligence committee, but that hearing was canceled.

The subcommittee meeting Monday is one of three congressional probes into the Russia interference, along with House and Senate intelligence panels. All the committees are led by Republi-

cans.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and chair of the Senate Judiciary crime and terrorism subcommittee, has been outspoken about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and has called for a stronger U.S. response than the sanctions currently levied.

Graham and top Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island promised a bipartisan probe, but last week it was revealed that Graham independently invited Rice to testify, without Whitehouse’s sign-on. Rice, a longtime target of Republicans, declined because her attorney said the invitation came late and without bipartisan consent.

Help save trauma patient lives by giving blood During Trauma Awareness Month in May, the American Red Cross urges eligible donors to help ensure lifesaving blood is available for patients with traumatic injuries and other serious medical needs by donating blood or platelets.

According to the National Trauma Institute, trauma accounts for approximately 41 million emergency department visits and 2.3 million hospital admissions in the U.S. annually.

“A single-car-accident victim can need as many as 100 units of blood,” said Amy Brown, Donor Recruitment Department district manager, Midwest Region Red Cross Blood Services.

“In trauma situations, when there’s no time to check a patient’s blood type, emergency personnel reach for type O negative red blood cells and type AB plasma.”

O negative red blood cells and AB plasma can be transfused into any patient, regardless of blood type, making donors with these universal blood types an important part of the Red Cross trauma team. Less than 7 percent of the population has type O negative blood, and only about 4 percent of the population has type AB blood.

Platelets may also be needed to help with clotting in cases of massive bleeding.

Because platelets must be transfused within five days of donation, there is a constant – often critical – need to keep up with hospital demand.

Blood and platelet donors of all types are currently needed. Those who come out to donate blood or platelets

by May 14 will have a chance to win one of three $1,000 gift card shopping sprees from GiftCertificates.com.

Do-

nation appointments can be scheduled by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting www.redcrossblood. org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Upcoming blood donation opportunities: From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 9 at First Christian Church, 201 W. Monroe St., in Mount Ayr From 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 10 at Creston Community High School, 601 W. Townline St., in Creston From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Approaching Alzheimer’s: EMS provider, first responder training OSCEOLA – More than 5 million people are living with Alzheimer’s disease in the United States and the epidemic continues to grow.

To help ensure the safety of individuals and families, it’s critical that EMS providers and all first responders are knowledgeable about the disease and its effects. People with Alzheimer’s and other dementia can come in contact with those responding to an emergency when they become lost, unknowingly break the law or when due to agitation, they put themselves or others in danger.

Understanding the disease and how to best approach these situations can help ensure the right response.

With input from first responders, the Alzheimer’s Association developed the “Approaching Alzheimer’s: EMS Provider/First Responder Training.” This course prepares individuals to identify the disease and efficiently and effectively respond to common calls involving a person with de-

mentia.

EMS providers and all first responders from across the state are encouraged to attend this class, scheduled from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Monday, May 22, at Lakeside Casino Resort in Osceola. The cost is $20 and includes course material, dinner provided by Lakeside Casino and CEUs (3.0 EMS and 0.3 nursing education credits provided by Southwestern Community College in Creston).

Registration is required by visiting alz.org/greateriowa or by calling 800-272-3900.

For questions regarding the class, contact Alzheimer’s Association program specialist, Susan Callison at scallison@alz.org or 515-2182680.
