Saturday’s Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., stirred up a range of emotions for 10 Union County veterans who participated in the program through Brushy Creek Honor Flight out of Fort Dodge.

“It gave several the opportunity to reminisce, the opportunity for closure for some,” said Tom Hawks, fundraising coordinator for Union County’s Honor Flight program and a Vietnam War veteran.

“My interpretation of how

people viewed the monuments was silent gratitude.

It wasn’t big displays of emotion or anything, but you could see how touched each of the members was as they could see the monuments erected for those wars.”

Saturday proved to be a long day for the Union County veterans who made the trip, boarding their flight in Fort Dodge at 5 a.m., touring nonstop through Washington, D.C., flying back to Fort Dodge and then returning to Creston about 4 a.m.

Sunday.

Upon arriving at Dulles

International Airport in Washington, D.C., veterans on the Honor Flight were greeted at the airport by a crowd of supporters.

“For me, the most impressive experience was when we got off the plane and going through the airport and being greeted by the large groups of people,” said Gary O’Daniels of Creston, a Vietnam War veteran. “There were adults and kids clapping and cheering. They had signs that said ‘Welcome home veterans.’ It brought tears to my eyes.”

That was a new experience for many of the

Former official says she warned White House about Flynn WASHINGTON (AP) — Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates says she bluntly warned the Trump White House in January that new National Security Adviser Michael Flynn “essentially could be blackmailed” by the Russians because he apparently had lied to his bosses about his contacts with Moscow’s ambassador

in Washington.

The congressional testimony Monday from Yates, an Obama administration holdover fired soon after for other reasons, marked her first public comments about the concerns she raised and filled in basic details about the chain of events that led YATES | 2A

being asked whether he accepts donations from outside his district.

He said before leaving the room, “I mean, he’s going to sit here and just, and just badger me. Unbelievable.”

The question about donations followed reporter Josh Scheinblum asking Blum why he requires audience members at his town hall meetings for identification.

Blum said audience members are vetted to ensure they are from his district.

Blum was met by an angry crowd at his town hall meeting later Monday.

veterans and three Vietnam War veterans, plus World War II veteran Dale Manship.

“The Vietnam and Korean War veterans didn’t get that kind of reception when we came home,” O’Daniels O’Daniels said. “It was amazing.”

Hawks said the flight home also included a mail call, as veterans received letters from family members and school children thanking them for their service.

The Honor Flight program is for any wartime veteran.

As a way to maximize the number of veterans on each flight, Vietnam War veterans served as guardians for World War II and Korean War veterans.

to Flynn’s ouster in February.

Her testimony, coupled with the revelation hours earlier that President Barack Obama himself had warned Donald Trump against hiring Flynn shortly after the November election, made clear that alarms about Flynn had reached the highest levels of the U.S. government months before. Flynn had been an adviser to Trump and an Flynn outspoken supporter of his presidential candidacy in the 2016 campaign.

Yates, appearing before a Senate panel investigating Russian interference in the election, described discussions with Don McGahn, the Trump White House counsel, in which she warned that Flynn apparently had misled the administration about his communications with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador.

White House officials, including Vice President Mike Pence, had insisted that Flynn had not discussed U.S.-imposed sanctions with Kislyak during the presidential transition period. But they asked Flynn to resign after news reports indicated he had lied about the nature of the calls.

“We felt like it was critical that we get this information to the White House, in part because the vice president was unknowingly making false statements to the public and because we believed that Gen. Yates Flynn was compromised with respect to the Russians,” Yates said.

“To state the obvious,” she added later, “you don’t want your national security adviser compromised with the Russians.”

She said she was briefing the Trump White House so that officials could take “the action that they deemed appropriate” and that she believed the Russians already had the same information.

Yates’ questioning by a Senate panel investigating Russian interference in the presidential election was just one portion of a politically charged day that began with combative tweets from Trump and continued with disclosures from Obama administration officials about a private Oval Office conversation between Obama and his successor.

Republican senators in the hearing repeatedly pressed Yates on an unrelated matter — her refusal to defend the Trump administration’s travel ban — and whether she was responsible for leaking classified information. She said she was not.

Trump shouldered into the conversation in the morning, tweeting that it was the

Obama administration, not he, that had given Lt. Gen. Flynn “the highest security clearance” when he worked at the Pentagon. Trump made no mention of the fact that Flynn had been fired from his high position by the Obama administration in 2014.

Yates filled in new details of the events of Jan. 26, describing contacting McGahn in the morning and telling him she had something sensitive to discuss in person. Later that day, at the White House, she told him there was an alarming discrepancy between how Trump officials, including Pence, were characterizing Flynn’s contacts with Kislyak and what intelligence officials knew to be true based on recordings they’d reviewed.

The pair spoke several times over the next two days, with McGahn asking Yates how Flynn had fared during an interview with the FBI earlier that week — she did not answer — and why it was the concern of the Justice Department if White House officials had misled each other.

Flynn’s forced resignation followed media reports that he had discussed U.S.-imposed sanctions on Russia with Ambassador Kislyak, which was contrary to the public representations of the Trump White House.

Yates herself, a longtime federal prosecutor, was fired

by Trump on Jan. 30 after refusing to defend his travel ban. James Clapper, director of national intelligence under Obama, also testified Monday.

He retired when Trump took office.

Separately Monday, former Obama officials said that Obama had raised general concerns about Flynn with Trump and had told the incoming president there were better people for the national security post.

Trump’s press secretary Sean Spicer said in response that if Obama “was seriously concerned” about Flynn’s connections to Russia or other foreign countries, he should have withheld Flynn’s security clearance. Flynn served under Obama as defense intelligence chief before Obama dismissed him.

Trump repeatedly has said he has no ties to Russia and isn’t aware of any involvement by his aides in any Russian 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.

After the hearing Monday, Trump tweeted: “The Russia-Trump collusion story is a total hoax, when will this taxpayer funded charade end?”

World War II veterans.

“They’re all in their 90s, so that’s pretty remarkable,” Hawks said.

After arriving in Washington, D.C., the Union County veterans spent the entire day touring the city and visiting the various war monuments.

The trip included a police-escorted hour-and-ahalf bus tour of Washington, D.C., giving veterans unique access to the city.

Veterans visited the World War II Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Wall, Air Force Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, where they witnessed the lowering of the flag that afternoon and observed the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

“Some of the guys I talked with, some of them were really impressed with the changing of the guard ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier,” said O’Daniels. “If you haven’t ever seen that before, it’s very impressive.

It was raining and that made it even more impressive, the soldiers were out doing their task in the rain.”

Hawks said the purpose of

the trip is to give veterans an opportunity for camaraderie with a peer group of veterans, an opportunity for closure and a chance to see the monuments, several of which were erected long after the end of the war.

The Korean War Veterans Memorial was dedicated in 1995, 41 years after the Korean War. The World War II Memorial opened in 2004, almost 60 years after WWII. According to Hawks, this Honor Flight for the 10 Union County veterans was funded by the fundraising efforts the Creston Community High School Future Business Leaders of America organized in February with the Victories for Vets night at Creston/O-M wrestling’s home double dual.

Proceeds from that fundraiser paid for all 10 veterans. Hawks said fundraising efforts will continue for future Honor Flights. The next Honor Flight is scheduled for Sept. 16, and Hawks hopes to have 20 veterans in that group.

All of the funds raised in Union County go toward paying for Union County veterans to take part in an

Honor Flight.

“I have to say thanks to all the people who helped make this trip possible and the many people who will help in the future to help a group of veterans go to D.C.,” Hawks said.

“I can’t be thankful enough, especially with the school kids’ program that Hawks got us kickstarted. We’re going to participate in the Brushy Creek Honor Flight program as long as they have flights and as long as we have veterans wanting to go.”

Both Hawks and O’Daniels encourage any veterans interested in going on an Honor Flight to fill out an application at the Union County Veterans Affairs office.

“It’s an experience they will never forget,” said O’Daniels. “For some, like the Vietnam veterans and Korean veterans, it might be something they need to help them understand that people really do appreciate the service the veterans provided.”

Senate panel approves Trump’s pick for US envoy to China WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate panel on Tuesday easily approved Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad’s nomination to be the U.S. ambassador to China, a move that all but assures full Senate confirmation of President Donald Trump’s pick for the key diplomatic post.

Members of the Foreign Relations Committee approved Branstad by voice vote. Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, the committee’s top Democrat, described Branstad as “fully qualified” for the job at a time when the Trump administration is pushing the Chinese to act more aggressively to defuse North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

During his confirmation hearing last week, Branstad pledged to confront Beijing

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, May 9, 2017

The beginning and end of each day truly matters The school year is winding down, but there are still four solid weeks for learning and accomplishments to happen. Our students and staff continue to chip away at their learning goals and routines. Our students’ last day is Wednesday, May 31, and students will be dismissed three hours early that day.

Recently, I have taken the opportunity to consistently ride along on some of our school bus routes. These trips have served as strong reminders of several points and have refreshed my perspective on the lives of our students and our work with each and every one of them.

I’ve seen many places our students and their families call home. Some may judge families on the visible characteristics of their homes. However, and as always, judging a book by its cover is often inaccurate and unfair.

There are homes that may need shingles or have broken windows

From the desk of Steve McDermott Creston Superintendent

that need replaced, but those same homes may be filled with love and support for the children that live, eat and sleep there.

Other spectacular mansions may be lacking inside in other departments. Clearly there are as many different individual homes in our community as there are families living in them. Regardless of the appearance of house a student lives in, the location or neighborhood, or the number of dogs a family owns, when a youngster steps on the bus, he or she is another student filled with potential heading to or from school.

I’ve also been reminded of a few bus behaviors that haven’t changed much since Alfred Tilk drove my siblings, my neighbors and me to and from school in

Greenfield on good old bus No. 8 many years ago. The behavior of most kids seems to decline as each one moves farther toward the back of the bus. Morning trips to school tend to be very quiet. Most are still groggy and dormant first thing in the morning. Rides home in the afternoon are just the opposite, starting with nearly every student updating every other nearby student on the happenings of the day.

This occurs all at the same time when no one appears to be listening to anyone else. As stops are made and students slowly trickle off the bus, the noise level dissipates accordingly. It has been interesting to listen to the stories students have told me on our bus rides. I’ve learned a lot, and a few things our parents may not have wanted their kids to repeat. For the most part, our students behave very well on our buses.

From time to time, a student

may misbehave repeatedly, thus earning them a write-up and warning. Depending on the circumstances, students that do not correct their poor behavior choices after warnings may not be allowed to ride the bus for a period of time. Typically, this consequence cures the problem and the student learns from the experience. Unfortunately, parents sometimes feel punished because they then need to make other arrangements for their child’s transportation to and from school. Getting a son or daughter to and from school is the responsibility of parents, but we do our best to help and transport youngsters that behave appropriately and have earned the privilege to ride the bus.

On a positive note, I have noticed that a clear majority of our regularly riding students speak to the drivers, saying, “Good morning,” “Good night,” “Have a good day” or “Thank you.”

This has been so encouraging.

Also, our drivers recognize their greetings and positive comments can make a significant impact on a student’s day. Each driver is the first school staff member that interacts with many of our students, and starting off on a good note truly matters.

The enormous responsibility entrusted to our drivers every day should never be taken for granted. Each bus or school vehicle is filled with precious cargo and our drivers understand that.

Our drivers dependably carry out their daily duties and drive their routes because they sincerely care about kids and their safety. Shortly after their retirements, I’ve heard so many drivers mention how much they miss the kids. The lessons learned throughout each day are so very important to each child’s development, but the beginning and end of each day truly matter as well.

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

President Trump celebrated with House Republicans Thursday after they passed a plan which repeals and replaces Obamacare.

They claim the GOP health care plan doesn’t make promises it can’t keep. Under the Republican plan, if you like your doctor, you can caddy for him on Wednesdays.

House Republicans suggested in victory Thursday that the GOP health care plan be labeled Trumpcare and Trump agreed.

The bill is costing lives already. By Sunday, dozens of Democrats in Washington and Hollywood had choked to death trying to say the words Trump and Care together.

President Trump assured a dinner in New York Thursday he will build a wall on the Mexican border. He insisted he’s in favor of legal immigration. The White House did not host a Mexican holiday celebration on Friday, however, President Trump wished everybody a Happy Cinco dePorted.

Cinco de Mayo was celebrated on the west side of Los Angeles Friday by white people joyful over a Mexican military victory that justifies daytime drinking. We’re never more imperial. If your Mariachi band doesn’t book a gig on Cinco de Mayo, you might want to look into getting a new agent.

President Trump confessed to Australia’s prime minister Thursday that Australia’s, England’s and Canada’s single-payer health coverage was the best system.

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

There’s precedent here. Members of Congress have supported single-payer since the Mayflower Madam refused to give them a group rate.

The Department of Agriculture removed animal welfare reports from its website, citing privacy rights and lawsuit concerns. Some animals can be extremely dangerous. To ensure your own safety, never approach a bull from the front, a horse from behind, or an airline attendant from any direction.

Delta Airlines flight attendants were caught on videotape Thursday forcing a family to get off the aircraft. It’s an epidemic. Ten years ago, Americans hated to go through TSA airport security where passengers were groped and stripped and X-rayed, but now it’s the most pleasant part of the trip.

North Korea’s Kim Jung Un warned China Friday not to try to interfere in North Korea’s spat with the U.S. as tensions escalate in the region. Iran is now purchasing missiles from North Korea, which doesn’t make sense.

Iran makes suicide vests that have more liftoff than North Korean missiles.

New Hampshire and Vermont were rated the least religious states in the United States Mon-

day in a Gallup Poll. The Southern states virtually tied for the title of most-religious states. In Texas, you can literally feel the presence of Jesus all around you, which is due mainly to poor border control.

“Rising Star – The Rise of Barack Obama” is a new 1,000page biography. It tells how Obama snorted cocaine into his 20s, showboated in law school classes, had numerous lovers and considered being gay. Old Testament lore would label him a member of the Lost Tribe of Kardashian.

Daily Variety reported that “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” faces possible cancellation after suffering a massive TV ratings nosedive this year.

No one’s even thought about the Kardashians the entire year. This should silence all the critics who say Trump has no major accomplishments.

USA Today cited women’s fertility statistics in a national survey Sunday, revealing that women who attend church regularly have 40 percent more babies than women who don’t attend church.

That’s nice. After all those stories about gay priests, it’s refreshing to hear one about the straight ones .

Ellen DeGeneres declared on her show to Matt Lauer Thursday she will not allow President Trump to be on her show. For the record, I take all my direction in politics, my beliefs in philosophy and my instruction in religion from celebrities. Some of these people have degrees from Beverly High.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Check in on senior citizens

HOROSCOPE For Wednesday, May 10, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Issues regarding money, cash flow and earnings might come to a head today. Likewise, discussions about an inheritance or shared property also might be difficult. Fortunately, these matters will be resolved quickly.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today the only Full Moon that is opposite your sign all year is taking place. This will produce tension between you and partners and close friends. Have patience.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be patient with co-workers today, because everyone can feel the energy of today’s Full Moon. This makes people overreact and be too emotional.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Parents must be patient with their kids today if they want to avoid hissy fits and meltdowns.

Likewise, romantic partners will have difficulty with each other. That’s because this is a Full Moon day.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Some Full Moons are easier than others. This is not one of them. You might feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Pay attention to what you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for you. An accident could be caused by your own emotional distractions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today, because something might create problems for you. This is a Full Moon day. Forewarned is forearmed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. Quite likely, this will create stress between you and others. Stay chill.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might feel unhappy about something going on behind the scenes, but you feel you cannot speak out. This means you’re doing a slow boil. This feeling will be gone in 24 hours. (Whew!)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be tactful and diplomatic in order to avoid difficulties with friends and members of groups today. People are on edge because of the Full Moon energy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Avoid arguments with bosses and parents today, especially female authority figures.

This is a particularly challeng-

ing Full Moon for your sign.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be wise and avoid controversial subjects today - including politics, religion and racial issues - because people are emotionally upset and overheated today. It’s a Full Moon, and it’s a tough one.

YOU BORN TODAY You basically are a gentle person with humanitarian instincts.

You have a distinctive voice that many of you use to your

advantage in your career. The year 2017 is a time when you will be both a student and a teacher. You will be excited as you start to see the fruits of your efforts for the past six years. Expect your well-earned rewards soon!

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: If a person has POWER OF ATTORNEY, is the executor of a senior citizen’s estate, and the senior citizen is living completely alone, that person should call or stop at the residence at least once a month to see how they are doing, mentally and physically. An occasional phone call would be nice, too! – A Senior Citizen, Canton, Ohio Absolutely. Check on your senior neighbors throughout the week, too, even if you don’t have power of attorney. It’s the right thing to do. – Heloise SUPER SWEEPER Dear Heloise: When the handle on my daughter’s patio broom broke, she unscrewed the broom part and now uses it to sweep crumbs off the picnic table. Also, it’s handy for sweeping out the car, and it’s good for dusting bottom cupboards that are hard to reach. – Shirley F., Bryan, Ohio Shirley, a Heloise Hug to your daughter for being a repurposing renegade!

Clean the broom occasionally by spraying white vinegar on the bristles and rinsing in hot water. Vinegar is

my go-to cleaner for all areas of your home. It’s cheap, effective, readily available and safe!

I’ve compiled a collection of my favorite vinegar hints in a handy pamphlet. Would you like to receive one?

Label all homemade cleaning solutions clearly, and keep them away from children. – Heloise COIN COUNTERS Dear Readers: Here is more from our series on spare change. – Heloise “Dear Heloise: Rather than spend my spare change, I always break a bill. I save all my change for the year, and by Christmas, I have enough to buy gifts for my eight grandchildren, and to donate to charity.

“It’s fun to see how much ‘found money’ I’ve saved, and it’s less stressful because I know how much to spend and not go into debt.”

– Marti R., Hutchinson, Kansas

SUDOKU

“Dear Heloise: Last Christmas, I was stymied for a gift for two teenage boys, and then it came to me: I took a large coffee can and filled it with change I’d been collecting for four years. I added coin wrappers and address labels. It took them a whole month to sort, wrap, divide, label and take the rolls to the bank. They each got $102 for their efforts.”

– Grandma Sherril, Santa Ana, Calif.

CHICKEN CLUELESS Dear Heloise: I recently got married and had no idea how to properly cook a chicken. I called Mom, and she passed on some hints that your other young readers might enjoy: * To give chicken a nice flavor, and also tenderize the meat, try basting it while it cooks with a dry white wine. * To thaw out a frozen chicken, place it in a bowl/ pan of cold water with 1/3 cup of salt. Not only does it improve the flavor, it helps clean the chicken. – Emma W., Nashua, N.H. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

THE NUMBERS GAME

48

Combined strikeouts by the Yankees and Cubs in Sunday night’s 18-inning marathon at Wrigley Field in Chicago, the most ever in a game in Major League Baseball history. The Yankees outlasted the Cubs 5-4 in the longest game this season in the majors, a game that took six hours and five minutes and wrapped up after 1 a.m.

Central time.

To put the 48 strikeouts in perspective, former Padres great hitter Tony Gwynn never struck out more than 40 times in a season during his 20-year Hall of Fame career.

Groumoutis, Carter find their way Panther duo goes 2-3 at Hawkeye 10 meet ■

RED OAK — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg junior Sophia Groumoutis has been steadily taking her game up a notch this season.

She took it a few notches higher during M o n d a y ’ s Hawkeye 10 Conference meet at Red Oak Groumoutis Golf & Country Club.

Groumoutis came home with a second-place finish at the annual league meet.

Groumoutis carded an 80 on a sunny, warm, but windy day for golf in the hills just east of Red Oak. All parts of Groumoutis’ game were working.

“My drives were going pretty good. They were pretty straight. My putting was pretty good,” Groumoutis said.

PANTHERS BOYS GOLF Course, conditions test Panther boys golf at Hawkeye 10 meet Stults, Cheers lead Panthers charge

■

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

HARLAN — Harlan Golf and Country Club had plenty of bite to it Monday for the Hawkeye 10 Conference boys golf meet.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg struggled at times, but a couple Panthers found their way.

Gusty south winds and tricky greens gave the course some muscle.

“It really was a great day for golf. That being said, the golf course definitely had some teeth today,” said

Creston/Orient-Macksburg assistant coach Ryan McKim. “It was consistently breezy and the greens were fast and hard, presenting some challenges for our guys.”

Michael Stults picked up an 11th place finish, while Trey Cheers tied for 12th to lead the Panthers and earn all conference honors.

Stults was on track for a top-10 finish, but posted a double bogey on his final hole.

“Michael started slow on the front nine, but played well on the back nine,” McKim said.

Cheers had an even-par 36 on the back nine.

The round is a big boost heading into Friday’s Class 3A Sectional meet in Denison.

“Trey played a really good round of a golf today, especially on the back nine,” McKim said. “This should give him some confidence heading into postseason play on Friday.”

Kyle Somers had an 85.

One bad hole, a nine on the par-three fourth, derailed Somers’ round.

“Kyle had a big number early in his round and just could not get it going after that,” McKim said. “He BOYS | 8A Harlan Newspaper photo by MIKE OEFFNER

back and had a chance to send the match to a tiebreaker.

But Podhajsky and McDermott came up with one more service break than Cook and Driskell to hold on for a 9-7 win to take the top spot at the tournament held in Atlantic.

The Trojans pair had already broken the Panthers twice and were up two breaks at 5-2 in the eightpoint match.

“In those types of situations where you’re only going to eight, it could have been easy for kids to go, ‘Oh, we’ll move on,’” said Creston/Orient-Macksburg coach Kevin Cooper. “They battled back on serve all the way. They were right there the whole time.”

The Panther pair stayed calm. They took a serve off the Trojans duo, then held serve twice to tie it at 5-5.

“We had pretty good rallies and pretty good hits,” Cook said. “We got more confidence. They were messing up, had unforced errors and we were hitting all our shots pretty good.”

The two teams traded several long volleys, with the ball not hitting the ground for some time at one point in the match.

“It was back and fourth,” Cook said. “We were playing pretty good.”

“We had a competitive match. It just didn’t go our way.”

Each team held serve through 7-7.

Going up against Podhajsky and McDermott, state qualifiers a year ago, gave Cook and Driskell the test they needed at the right time.

The close match showed how close Cook and Dris-

Work on her short game paid off.

“I worked on my chipping a lot the last couple of days and shaped it up pretty good,” Groumoutis said.

Groumoutis’ work off the tee put her in good position in the tight fairways.

“She was getting off the tee boxes really well and striking her irons,” said Creston/Orient-Macksburg coach Jon Thomson.

Conditions became more challenging throughout the day as a steady south wind blew across many of the holes.

kell are to being a top-notch team.

“What they can take away is they’re right there,” Cooper said. “They didn’t need validation, but validation helps. Ballard went to state and placed and they beat them.”

The duo showed how much they’ve improved over a year. Last year, they were unseeded at the Hawkeye 10 meet and did not place.

“We’ve played pretty good,” Cook said. “We’ve played doubles all of our tennis career. We hope we can continue that in the future.”

Podhajsky and McDermott held form at 7-7 for an 8-7 lead.

Then the Trojans pair broke the Panthers serve for the win.

Thanks to an hour-long rain delay to start the day, the final was a best of eight with advantage scoring instead of best of three sets to six points each.

A stiff wind out of the south made it challenging to keep serves in play when the wind was at the players back, the middle of the fairway,” Groumoutis said.

Groumoutis made up ground on the green as well, on greens that were treacherous.

“She was getting on the green, making two putts, getting in and getting out,” Thomson said.

Gromoutis’ confidence grew as the day went on.

“The wind is a big factor in tennis,” Cooper said. “It’s hard to adjust to it, but once games go on, you get used to it.”

Heading into Monday, Cook and Driskell came in seeded second and lived up to their advanced billing.

Cooper and Driskell can still take much heading into Thursday’s district meet in Red Oak from the Hawkeye 10 meet.

“Going to the championship this year was a big step for us,” Cooper said. “It helps us.”

Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s other placewinner was Dustin Merritt at number one singles, placing in the top eight.

Merritt had the disadvantage of going up against other number ones.

Still, Merritt enjoyed the pressure.

teams bowed out without reaching the placing round.

Walker Patterson won a match at number two singles, but lost two before the placing round.

“It’s a different tournament. Once you’re by yourself in a bracket, it’s not necessarily against other sixes,” Cooper said. “Walker has done well against other sixes, but in this tournament, if someone takes a number one four doubles, a number two is playing, he’s up against a number two. He went up against against a lot of really good kids.

Triston Davidson and Emilien Florentin went 0-2 in number two doubles.

It was the first time the duo had played together in doubles.

“They were in both matches, but let them slip away,” Cooper said.

UP NEXT — Creston/ Orient-Macksburg’s season is on the line Thursday at the district meet. Action starts around 8:30 a.m. in Red Oak. Matchups will not be known until the pre-meet seeding meeting.

“We don’t know what other teams are going to do,” Cooper said. “It’s going to be one of those deals where Cooper and Driskell will be right there. There will be other kids that sneak up on you. There were upsets today, like number one singles seed got beat. There’s plenty of upsets out there. Not all the seeded kids get to state.

If it’s our district or another district, somebody doesn’t get to state.”

Cook and Driskell have potential to make a run Thursday.

“Jaden and Cook are right there,” Cooper said. “They just keep playing high level kids.”

Complete results will be in Wednesday’s CNA. the way the girls played.”

Atlantic’s Brooke Newell, a Nebraska recruit for golf, won her third consecutive conference title with a 79.

Atlantic, the defending Class 3A state champion, ran away with its second consecutive Hawkeye 10 title, with a 353. Shenandoah was second with a 375, Kuemper Catholic third with a 377, while Creston/Orient-Macksburg and Glenwood tied for fourth with a 408.

Sadie Green had a 119, while Hayley Osmun carded a 124.

Osmun’s putting was off at times.

2017 Adams County Speedway

G N I C RA Update

Victory, early-season success help redefine Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

By Tod Palmer

The Kansas City Star

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was an accomplished race-car driver before Sunday’s win at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.

He won back-to-back Xfinity Series championships in 2011 and 2012 and received rookie of the year honors on the Xfinity and Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, but success in NASCAR’s top series proved elusive during his first four years as a full-time Cup Series driver with only 17 top-10 finishes and no victories in 148 career races.

Stenhouse, who drives the No. 17 Ford Fusion for Jack Roush Racing, had become known more for dating Danica Patrick than as a threat to win a checkered flag.

It’s a fact of life to which he’s grown accustomed.

“I don’t mind being known as her boyfriend,” Stenhouse said. “She doesn’t mind being known as my girlfriend.”

Still, Stenhouse, 29, wants to be known as a contender as well — each week during the Cup Series season and for the ultimate prize come November’s finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

The win at Talladega, which was the first victory for Roush Racing since Carl Edwards won at Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway in 2014, wasn’t an anomaly.

Only 10 starts into the 36-race season, Stenhouse already is one shy of his single-season records for top-five and top-10 finishes — four and six, respectively, set last season.

He’s now finished in the top 10 in four of the last five races — an encouraging early-season start for Stenhouse, who has never

qualified for the NASCAR playoffs — but the icing was finally experiencing the thrill of victory.

“Doesn’t get any sweeter,” Stenhouse said. “I look at our first 150 (races) or so, and I can only hope that the next 150 are going to be kind of like Joey Logano’s. He had 300 races — the first 150 weren’t great; the next 150 were. Hopefully, this is a start of that.”

Patrick, who was caught up a 16-car crash and didn’t finish Sunday’s race, was among the first to greet Stenhouse in victory lane.

“Pulling into victory lane and seeing Jack (Roush) and Danica standing there together — they’re the same height — it was super-special,” Stenhouse said. “She supports me through anything I need to do, whether it’s spend more time at the shop, whether it’s we need to fly somewhere a little bit later because I need to spend a little bit more time with the guys at the shop or want to go to dirt races or anything like that. She’s been so supportive and knows how hard that I’ve worked. To have her there was really awesome.”

This time, the spotlight shined far brighter on Stenhouse, which is seldom the case, but if he keeps winning racing things might balance out a bit.

“Last year, we started off the season pretty decent and then fell quite a bit,” Stenhouse said. “We were never really able to regain the speed we had at the beginning of the season. … This year, we’ve tried to stay on top of it and make sure we’re not bringing the same car to the track every week.

We’re making sure we’re bringing a better car to the track every week.”

It’s working. Stenhouse’s average start

ACS POINT STANDINGS Saturday, May 6, 2017

(15.2) and average finish (14.1) are far and away better than his previous career-bests during a five-year career as a full-time Cup Series driver.

“Now, we’ve finally got all those pieces in place to make sure we can maintain that speed and maintain that performance,” Stenhouse said. “We’ve got a lot more confidence going to the track every week.”

He admitted that confidence waned in recent years, for him and probably among his crew as well.

“You get to a point over the last couple of years, I probably thought that (I may never win),” Stenhouse said.

Nonetheless, he approached 2017 with a fresh and optimistic mind-set, which has

Panthers put JV to test Creston keeps much of varsity home, sends JV to Central Decatur meet ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

LEON — Creston took a group of junior varsity runners to Central Decatur’s coed invitational Monday in Leon and came away fourth with 63 team points.

Mount Ayr won yet another meet with 191 team points. Trailing the Raiderettes were Woodward Granger with 102, Central Decatur 92, Southeast Warren 56, Lenox with 50 and Centerville with 12.

Kesia Stewart h e l p e d Stewart carry the Panther load at Monday’s meet, placing second in the 200 meter dash, third in the 100 meter dash and was the first leg of the second-place 4x200 relay group.

Stephanie Hemsworth added on third in the open 200, a fourth-place spot in the open 100, and was on the third-place sprint medley unit.

Jesse Vicker took second in the open 800 in a personal record time of 2:33.11, and was on the Panther sprint medley.

Hemsworth and Vicker continue to get stronger after missing a large portion of the early part of the season due to injury. Their slow build toward full strength has the potential to greatly benefit the Panthers at Thursday’s state qualifying meet.

Brittany Linch added a second-place finish in the 400 hurdles.

Abbi Hood took third in the shot put and set a PR in the discus with a throw of 74 feet, 9 inches to take seventh.

12-for-12 for Mount Ayr girls Mount Ayr ran rampant through the field of seven teams.

Raiderette winners included Bailey Anderson in the open 100 and 400, Sara Winemiller in the shot put, Samantha Stewart in the 400 meter hurdles, and Keirston Klommhaus in the open 200.

Mount Ayr won the 4x100, 4x200, 4x400 and sprint medley.

Lenox was led by Jacy Stoaks’s second-place finish in the discus and Kayla Yzaguirre’s fifth-place in the shot put. Shantelle Brown took third in the 400 meter hurdles. Ashton Larson grabbed fourth in the open 400 and Niki Sparks was fifth in the 100 dash.

The Lenox boys came in fourth with 77 points, behind Woodward Granger with 201.50, Clarke with 123 and Central Decatur with 114.

Brenden Christensen and Trey Whipple picked up seconds in the discus and shot put respectively.

The Tiger sprint medley relay and 4x200 units earned second place.

Lenox’s 4x100 and 4x400 relays both earned third.

PEOPLE/NEWS

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, May 9, 2017

Back on TV, Kimmel zings critics of his health care plea Thomspon anniversary LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jimmy Kimmel zinged his critics as he returned to latenight TV and resumed arguing that Americans deserve the level of health care given his infant son.

Back on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live� Monday after a week’s absence, he said baby Billy is recovering well from open-heart surgery for a birth defect and thanked well-wishers. Then he charged back into the fraught topic. “I made an emotional speech that was seen by millions, and as a result of my powerful words on that night, Republicans in Congress had second thoughts about repeal and replace� of the Affordable Care Act, he joked. “I saved health insurance in the United States of America!� “What’s that? I didn’t save it? They voted against it anyway?� Kimmel said.

The House approved the American Health Care Act last week.

He dismissed those who

labeled him an elitist — as a youngster, his family bought powdered milk because they couldn’t afford fresh, he said — and pretended to repent for his previous comments. “I’d like to apologize for saying that children in America should have health care. It was insensitive, it was offensive, and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me,� Kimmel said.

He took on former Rep. Newt Gingrich, saying his claim that all children would receive the same surgery as Kimmel’s son in an emergency fell short of addressing what follows. “That’s terrific if your baby’s health problems are all solved during that one visit. The only problem is that never, ever happens.

We’ve had a dozen doctor’s appointments since our son had surgery,� Kimmel said.

Kimmel brought on a current GOP lawmaker, U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a physician, who had suggested that the Senate’s upcoming health care legis-

lation should have a “Jimmy Kimmel test� of covering pre-existing conditions but in a fiscally conservative way.

During a satellite interview with Cassidy, Kimmel asked about his position on issues including uninsured workers and protection of children under a revised health care bill.

The senator called on viewers to contact their representatives and urge support of final legislation that fulfills President Donald Trump’s promise to lower premiums combined with coverage that passes the Kimmel standard.

Kimmel called for his namesake test to guarantee that no family be denied medical care, emergency or otherwise, because they can’t afford it. “You’re on the right track,� Cassidy said, but the country has to be able to pay for it. “Don’t give a huge tax cut to millionaires like me,�

Kimmel replied.

On last Monday’s show, the host detailed how Billy’s routine birth April 21 suddenly turned frightening when he was diagnosed with a hole in the wall separating the right and left sides of the heart and a blocked pulmonary valve, a condition known as tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia. He successfully underwent surgery, but will face more as he grows.

Using his son as an example, Kimmel called for health care for all and for pre-existing conditions to remain covered as provided by the Affordable Care Act passed under President Barack Obama. “If your baby is going to die and it doesn’t have to, it shouldn’t matter how much money you make. ... Whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat or something else, we all agree on that, right?� he said.

The video of Kimmel’s tearful monologue went viral, drawing praised by some, including Obama, and harsh criticism from others.

MTV Awards, held in Los Angeles, salute ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ ‘Stranger Things’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — Film hit “Beauty and the Beast� and Netflix newcomer “Stranger Things� were the night’s big winners with two trophies apiece as MTV partied with its Movie & TV Awards show.

For this, the 26th edition of what was formerly known as the MTV Movie Awards, TV was added to the mix. “Stranger Things� was decreed the Show of the Year, and its cast member, Millie Bobby Brown, was named Best Actor in a Show. “Beauty and the Beast� was the Movie of the Year, with its star, Emma Watson, the Best Actor in a Movie.

But the awards had another trick up its sleeve, introducing a policy of breaking down gender barriers, as men and women competed jointly in the acting categories.

The policy was put into practice at the top of the show by presenter Asia Kate Dillion, who proudly noted she has been able to break down gender barriers as “the first openly non-bi-

nary actor to play an openly non-binary actor on a major TV show,� Showtime’s drama series “Billions.� (A non-binary person is someone who doesn’t identify with either gender.) Then she presented the award to Watson. “Acting is about the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, and that doesn’t need to be separated into two different categories,� Watson said in receiving her trophy, Despite glowering skies and dime-size hailstones, MTV was heralding the start of the summer viewing season with its annual shindig. The red carpet outside Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium became a swamp as luminaries made their water-logged arrival for the shindig. But inside, it was dry (except for flowing cocktails among audience members) as Adam Devine hosted the proceedings.

Tongue-in-cheek, Devine described himself as a progressive personality fully equal to the night’s

high-minded theme.

As the caption “Adam Gets It� flashed on the screen, Devine declared, “I love Hugh Jackman. But I call him Hugh Jack-PERSON.�

And turning to “Beauty and the Beast,� he said, “I call it ‘Multidimensional woman with her own dynamic traits, and the beast.’“ The show maintained its traditional irreverence with awards recognizing the best duo (Jackman and Dafne Keen of the film “Logan�), best villain (Jeffrey Dean Morgan, “The Walking Dead�), best tearjerker (hit TV drama “This Is Us�), and best kiss (Ashton Sanders and Jharrel Jerone of “Moonlight�).

That last award was presented by co-stars of the film smash “Get Out�: a very blond Allison Williams in shimmering miniskirt, alongside a nervous-looking Lil Rel Howery. “Are you scared of me?�

Williams asked him. “I’m AFRAID — that’s the word I’m gonna use,�

Howery said. “Ever since the movie came out,� said Williams, “for the last couple of months — “ “— Black dudes don’t mess with you,� said Howery, whose character in the film has good reason to be scared of hers.

A new award, Best Fight Against the System, went to the film “Hidden Figures,� which tells the story of a team of African-American women mathematicians who served a vital role at NASA during the space program’s early years.

The mission of the filmmakers, said one of its stars, Taraji P. Henson, was to dispel a certain deep-seated social myth “so another young girl wouldn’t grow up thinking that her mind wasn’t capable of grasping math and science.�

The cast of the “Fast and Furious� franchise received the Generation Award, accepted by Vin Diesel, who thanked a generation of fans “willing to accept this multicultural franchise, where

ing. Presenting Movie of the Year, Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn comically bobbled the title (a la the Oscars), first announcing “La La Light,� then “Moonland.� Then they got it right: “Beauty and the Beast.�
