The gift of life

Midwest economic survey index rose in May OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Figures from a survey of supply managers in nine Midwest and Plains states rose last month, suggesting economic growth ahead, according to a report released Wednesday.

The Mid-American Business Conditions index hit 52.1 in May, compared with 50.1 in April and 50.6 in March, the report said. The index generally has been on the rise since dropping to a 12-month low of 39.6 in December.

Summer Murdock, left, and Debbie Glick receive good luck wishes from family and friends prior to their May 4 kidney transplant surgeries.

By JOEL LAMB

CNA staff reporter jlamb@crestonnews.com

In the prime of her life, 35year old Summer Murdock of Creston underwent major surgery on May 4 at Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines to have one of her kidneys transplanted to her aunt, Debbie Glick, 60, also of Creston.

The surgery, which was voluntary on Murdock’s part, supplied a much needed new kidney to Glick, who has sufferred with polysystic kidney disease (PKD) for more than 14 years.

PKD causes numerous cysts to grow in the kidneys and is one of the most

common causes of kidney failure requiring tranplantation. PKD cysts can slowly replace much of the normal tissue in kidneys, reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure. According to the National Kidney Foundation, roughly 600,000 Americans suffer from this condition. PKD is the fourth-leading cause of kidney failure, causing around 5 percent of all cases.

“I was going to a kidney specialist every three to six months and it kept getting worse,” Glick said. “All of a sudden, in this last year or so, my kidney function just kept dropping. It got down to 12 percent so I was on the

verge of dialysis.”

Fortunately for Glick, she was placed on the waiting list for a kidney transplant instead. The wait to find a willing and medically suitable donor was a short one.

Almost immediately upon becoming aware of her aunt’s dire situation, Murdock made the life-changing decision to volunteer one of her healthy kidneys for transplantation.

“I’ve always said that if anything ever happened to anyone in my family, I would pray for someone to come forward and help,” Murdock said. “I had two kidneys and I only needed one, so it just made sense.

I would hope that if I was

ducers more than offset continuing losses for regional durable-goods manufacturers,” said Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey.

The survey results are compiled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests economic growth, below 50 suggests decline.

The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

SURVEY | 2A

FDA issues new guidelines on salt, pressuring food industry WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is pressuring the food industry to make foods from breads to sliced turkey less salty, proposing long-awaited sodium guidelines in an effort to prevent thousands of deaths each year from heart disease and stroke.

The proposed guidelines released Wednesday are voluntary, so food companies won’t be required to comply.

But the idea is to persuade companies and restaurants — many of which have al-

ready lowered sodium levels in their products — to take a more consistent approach.

It’s the first time the government has recommended such limits. Sodium content already is included on existing food labels, but the government has not set specific sodium recommendations.

The guidelines suggest limits for about 150 categories of foods, from cereals to pizzas and sandwiches. There are two-year and 10-year goals.

Richard ‘Dick’ Bishop Des Moines

Richard “Dick” Bishop, 69, was born May 23, 1947, in Polk City, the son of Jacob Bishop and Mary (Reed) Bishop. He passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his loving family Friday, May 27, 2016, in Des Moines.

Dick had a passion for the outdoors and especially enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping. He was a NASCAR fan, and you could always find him cheering on Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Dick was a hard worker and dedicated to all that he put his mind to. He was loved by so many, and above all else he treasured time spent with his friends and family, especially his grandchildren. Dick was naturally a car enthusiast, which went hand in hand with his many dedicated years working as an automotive technician. He most recently worked at HiCrest Auto, Inc. in Creston from 1996 until 2002, and upon moving back to Des Moines, he worked at McCalley Mechanics from 2002 until 2006, before re-

ultimately became her donor, Glick has two sons who were eager to volunteer their own organs. However, PKD is a hereditary condition, leaving both sons at risk for developing it in the future and needing transplants of their own.

Preparations for matching Murdock to Glick as a viable donor began in September 2015 and included extensive testing by doctors at the Iowa Methodist Transplant Center, which has performed adult and pediatric kidney transplants for more than 25 years.

Murdock recanted the extensive testing process.

“You have to have a lot of blood tests and lots of urine testing. I had to have a CT (computerized tomography) scan and several chest x-rays, EKG’s (electrocardiograms) were done,” she said. “I think the highest amount of blood they took out at once was like eleven viles” “They did a lot of testing on me, too,” Glick added. “I had to have heart tests and ultrasounds on everything. It was crazy the amount of testing they did.”

The same surgeon who removed Murdock’s kidney placed it into Glick, but for the weeks-long matching process, each woman worked with a

completely separate battery of doctors. Each medical team consisted of a trasplant pharmacist, finance coordinator, psychologist, nephrologist (kidney specialist), nutritionist, social worker, donor advocates and donor coordinator.

“They (the doctors), looked at it as two completely different cases,” Murdock said.

“What they were doing on my end was making sure that my health wouldn’t be put at risk by donating. They won’t jeopardize your own health for somebody else.”

According to Iowa Methodist’s website, the hospital has one of the shortest waiting times in the country. Having been placed on the transplant list in July 2015, Glick had to wait less than a year before undergoing the surgery.

The wait times for an organ transplant at Iowa Methodist are lower than other transplant centers in the U.S. In the Midwest, the average wait time is around 27 months.

Nationally, the wait time is around 54 months. At Iowa Methodist Transplant Center, wait times are only 12 to 13 months on average. More than 600 kidney transplants have been completed at Iowa Methodist since 1987.

After the litany of tests and weeks of waiting, the actual transplant was completed in a matter of hours.

Online condolences may be expressed at www.HamiltonsFuneralHome.com.

Dick is survived by his loving wife Ginny Bishop; daughters, Melissa Bishop, Kathie Bishop (Gary Grieves) and Jody (Patrick) White; his son and his family; eight grandchildren; sister Tommie Ann (Terry) Young and two other sisters; brothers- and sisters-in-law, Shirley and Lowell Hagle of Creston, Pete and Marge Repplinger of Creston, Ted and Kate Jones of Shannon City and Gary and Jo Ann Herrmann Repplinger of Des Moines; other loving relatives and many special friends.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his great-grandson Kaidence Richard Cooper; sister Loretta Barnes; brother Bob Reed; father- and mother-in-law, Joe and Dorothy Repplinger; niece Tiffani Braman and nephew Anthony Repplinger.

“The totality of scientific evidence, as reviewed by many well-respected scientific organizations, continues to support lowering sodium consumption from current levels,” said Susan Mayne, director of FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. “In fact, it’s very difficult in the current marketplace not to consume too much sodium.”

Americans eat about 1 teaspoons of salt daily, or 3,400 milligrams. That’s about a third more than the government recommends for good health and enough to increase the risk of high blood pressure, strokes and other problems. Most of that sodium is hidden inside common processed foods and restaurant meals.

The guidelines are long-delayed. The Food and Drug Administration first said it would issue voluntary guidelines in 2010, after an Institute of Medicine report said companies had not made enough progress on reducing sodium and advised the government to establish maximum levels for different foods. The FDA decided to go with a voluntary route instead.

The delays came as food companies balked at the idea of government guidelines, pointing to myriad efforts already underway to reduce so-

Correction In dissolutions published in the May 25 Creston News Advertiser, custody arrangements for two minor children were printed incorrectly.

According to the report,

Daniel Martwick and Tashina Lee Martwick will have joint legal custody with Daniel having primary physical care of two minor children.

For Glick, the effects of the surgery were noticeable almost immediately.

“When my youngest son talked to me on the phone after the operation, he said he could tell just by my voice that I had more energy already,” Glick said. “Everything is going well so far; my creatinine level is the lowest it’s been in 14 years.”

Glick has to continue with testing to ensure there are no signs of rejection and will eventually have both of her original kidneys removed through laparoscopic surgery.

As the National Kidney Center’s website states, “The advantages of kidney tranplant are that it can free the patient from regular, lifelong dependence on dialysis machines.”

“I JUST think she’s an angel from heaven. It makes me cry when I think about it.”

dium. The food industry has also pointed to a newer, 2013 IOM report that said there is no good evidence that eating sodium at very low levels — below the 2,300 milligrams a day that the government recommends — offers benefits.

Some companies have worried that though the limits will be voluntary, the FDA is at heart a regulatory agency, and the guidelines are more warning than suggestion. But the wait means that Obama administration officials won’t be around to see if individual companies follow the guidelines. A new administration will be tasked with making the proposed guidelines final, as they could take a year or more to complete.

If companies do eventually comply with the guidelines, Americans won’t notice an immediate taste difference in higher-sodium foods like pizza, pasta, bread and soups.

The idea is to encourage gradual change so consumers’ taste buds can adjust, and to give the companies time to develop lower-sodium foods.

Many food companies and retailers already have pushed to reduce salt. Wal-Mart, ConAgra Foods, Nestle and Subway restaurants say they have achieved major sodium reductions in their products.

Mars Food, a subsidiary of Mars Inc. that produces Uncle Ben’s rice among other products, said in April that it would support the upcoming FDA sodium regulations.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, June 1, 2016

Presidential race turning into car wreck HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Memorial Day saw a record number of U.S. motorists on the nation’s highways due to the TSA airport lines discouraging air travel. There was no shortage of entertainment at home.

Americans who enjoy watching complete wrecks could either watch the Indianapolis 500 or the presidential race.

Denver Bronco fans petitioned the team to re-sign Tim Tebow Monday. He’s broadcast college ball for ESPN, failed three NFL tryouts, said he might run for Congress, and lost his girlfriend over sex abstinence. It proves that alcohol won’t solve your problems, but neither does water and milk.

Hillary Clinton added more stops in California to duck an embarrassing end-of-campaign loss to Bernie Sanders as she secures the party nomination. Bernie’s offering voters student loan debt

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

forgiveness and free health care.

To counter that Hillary plans to shoot a Romanov in a public square.

Alabama, Florida State and LSU recruited the top three football classes of incoming freshmen players in Friday’s poll. This is a list that all the top schools want to be on. Donald Trump’s one big disappointment is that his candidacy has not helped to recruit athletes to play at Trump University.

Kylie Jenner broke up with rap star Tyga after two years Tuesday breaking his heart. This was after Lamar’s overdose, Kanye’s near-bankruptcy, and Kris Humphries’ humiliation. It appears

that the Kardashians have replaced the cops as the number-one threat to young black men in America.

Snoop Dogg urged fans not to see Roots, saying he wants stories about black accomplishments today. Rap stars are standing for self-esteem. Last year, Snoop decided on a name upgrade and changed his name to Snoop Lion, then not to be outdone, Ice-T changed his name to Arnold Palmer.

Wells Fargo Bank announced they’ll offer home loans, asking for just 3 percent down payment.

The loans will be bundled and collateralized in no time. Apparently the bankers feel that if Americans didn’t learn their lesson after the mortgage meltdown eight years ago, why should they?

President Obama laid a wreath and gave a speech honoring America’s war dead on Memorial Day at Arlington Cemetery Monday just three days after he’d

laid a wreath honoring Japan’s war dead. The nation could only listen somberly. It was another painful reminder that he’s still president.

Donald Trump drew a Hispanic federal judge to judge the class-action lawsuit against Trump University. The judge said he decided to move the trial to November in order to avoid a zoo-like atmosphere. This is a wrong week for Trump to act like the 800-pound gorilla in the room.

Donald Trump joined California’s water wars, siding with farmers over environmentalists.

The farmers want the snow pack runoff diverted to the Valley but environmentalists want to divert it to the ocean. The idea is to subject farmers to the opposite of water-boarding until they vote Democrat.

ABC’s landmark mini-series Roots was re-shot with new actors and made into four two-hour

dramas airing this week on the History Channel. The old series was much tamer. When Roots originally aired in the 70s the closing credits thanked the Confederacy for making it all possible.

The San Francisco City Council voted to defy federal law on Friday and maintain its status as a Sanctuary City. That means local police won’t turn illegal aliens over to immigration. Ten years ago the most popular drink in the Bay Area was Sex on the Beach and now it’s Amnesty with a Wink.

The National Review reports top Democrats are willing to push a Joe Biden-Elizabeth Warren ticket if Hillary implodes.

There’s baggage there, too. The latest poll shows more Americans are offended by Elizabeth Warren for claiming to be a Redskin than they are by the Washington Redskins.

Letter to the editor

Thank you for your kindness and support Amy Thompson Creston

My name is Amy Thompson, and your paper wrote a story on my son and my family regarding his upcoming brain surgery that my son Robert Hiatt is having June 27. Because of your efforts to quickly write the story and get it out there for the public to see, I had a wonderful turnout at my son’s benefit dinner.

So I want to give a very, very heartfelt thank you to Kelsey Haugen and the Creston News Advertiser for writing the sto-

ry. It was beautiful. I also want to thank Hy-Vee for supplying food, Crest Baptist Church for their wonderful help in putting this all together and the community of Creston for opening their kind hearts and sharing with me in love, support and prayers.

My prayers go out to all those that selflessly participated in efforts to help my son and I on this journey we have set before us now, and that God may know your hearts and humble love for others.

Thank you all again so much.

The typical response when someone saves a small child from harm isn’t “How dare you?”

But the Cincinnati Zoo has been subjected to a torrent of abuse for making the agonizing decision to shoot and kill one of its gorillas, a 17-year-old silverback named Harambe, when a 4-year-old boy fell into its enclosure.

Invariably, the adjective used to describe Harambe is “magnificent,” and rightly so. Gorillas are physically imposing and highly intelligent, with sophisticated social structures. In a better world, they probably wouldn’t be confined for our viewing pleasure, but that’s another issue The question is what should the Cincinnati Zoo have done when forced to choose between the welfare of a prodigious animal and a small human?

This wasn’t a case of a hunter who went out of his way at great expense and trouble to shoot a lion or some other glorious creature for the triumphant photo with the carcass and the trophy on the wall back home. This wasn’t a poacher who killed for tawdry profit. This wasn’t a fly-by-night roadside attraction abusing the poor creatures in its clutches.

This was a serious, responsible institution confronted with a lifeand-death crisis, in real time and not of its devising.

When the little boy somehow crawled through the fencing outside the enclosure and splashed into water with Harambe — and yes, the boy’s mother should have

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

been paying closer attention — the child’s life was potentially in danger. This was self-evident to the shocked and dismayed witnesses, who watched Harambe drag the kid around by the ankle like a proverbial rag doll.

Everything that people lamenting the shooting say about Harambe may be true: He wanted to help. He didn’t mean the child any harm. He was merely confused.

None of this means he wasn’t a danger.

We desperately want to anthropomorphize apes, and make them out to be the gentle giants of our imagination. We want to believe that King Kong was just misunderstood, with a thing for blondes.

That Koko the sign-language gorilla really cares about global warming. Gorillas are indeed — putting aside their hair-raisingly brutal sexual politics — largely peaceful and admirable mothers and fathers.

They are still wild beasts. Harambe was a forbiddingly strong 420-pound creature with no experience baby-sitting. He could seriously hurt a child without even trying.

Once that is acknowledged, it’s clear that the zoo had no good choices. Its critics — including celebrities who are suddenly amateur primatologists — have insist-

ed there must have been a way to create a happy ending for all.

The zoo could have reasoned with Harambe. But zoo officials called the gorillas out of the enclosure when the child fell in; the two females complied, Harambe did not. They could have tranquilized Harambe. But this would have agitated him more, and the tranquilizers would have taken time to work. They could have, as one expert mused to an Australian paper, shot the gorilla in the shoulder. Because there’s nothing like a badly wounded gorilla in possession of a child.

G.K. Chesterton wrote of the healthy and unhealthy love of animals, with the latter characterized by its overseriousness. Exhibit A: the change.org petition that has garnered more than 300,000 signatures and is titled “Justice for Harambe.”

For his part, Chesterton was quite prepared to love a rhinoceros (“with reasonable precautions”), but couldn’t give himself over to what he called “animal worship.”

He believed that “wherever there is Animal Worship there is Human Sacrifice. That is, both symbolically and literally, a real truth of historical experience.”

In this case, the would-be human sacrifice wasn’t an abstraction. He was a 4-year-old boy. The Cincinnati Zoo, to its credit, wasn’t willing to discount his welfare, even if the decision was excruciating. It sacrificed the beast to protect the child. In a less sentimental age, the moral calculus would be obvious.

Branstad signature extends renewable fuels retailer incentives

Professional development helps connect teachers to new science standards A two-day professional development workshop for teachers will be offered in Creston by the Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation (IALF), Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and the Southwest Region of the Iowa Governor’s STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Council.

The workshop, “Agriculture and Technology take STEM and NGSS Beyond the Classroom,” will help teachers apply the newly-adopted Next Generation Science Standards in the context of agriculture. The workshop will also use agriculture to teach other core concepts and skills like social studies, language arts and math.

The workshop will be hands on and interactive with one day of site visits and tours and one day of practical classroom

application. Many STEM concepts will be integrated throughout. Participants will be introduced to FarmChat, a program that utilizes Skype or Google Hangouts to virtually visit farms and agribusinesses.

“The new Iowa Core Science Standards will be a considerable shift for teachers in how they teach science to students,” said Will Fett, IALF executive director. “The new standards are based on the Next Generation Science Standards and by using agriculture, students can learn science in a fun, engaging and relevant way.”

The dates of the workshop are June 7-8 and will be held at Southwestern Community College in Creston. The workshop will include lesson demonstrations, tours of farms and agribusinesses and hands-

on implementation of concepts technical skills in agriculture.

The workshop will be available for teacher recertification credit and graduate-level credit.

Register to attend at https:// prodev.aeapdonline.org/4DCGI/22035099991701INV&True.

The workshop is made possible by supporters of the Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation including CHS Foundation with additional support from Iowa Corn Growers Association, Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, Iowa Pork Producers Association, Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage Area, DuPont Pioneer, GROWMARK and Iowa Beef Industry Council.

NEWTON – On May 24, Iowa Governor Terry Branstad signed S.F. 2309 into law, a bill that included the extension of several important renewable fuels tax incentives through 2024. The signing took place at REG Newton, a 30 million gallon per year capacity biodiesel production facility located in Newton.

“We commend Gov. Branstad and the Iowa Legislature for once again stepping up for renewable fuels and ensuring these important incentives continue,” said Grant Menke, Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) policy director. “Iowa already leads the nation in renewable fuels production, and we want to ensure we continue to lead the way in the availability and use of higher ethanol and biodiesel blends, as well. The signing of this legislation does just that while also supporting Iowa jobs, cleaner air, competition at the pump and lower fuel prices for Iowa’s motorists. And, with EPA’s recent lackluster RFS proposal, this legislation will be more im-

portant than ever.”

Included in this legislation is the extension of two retailer tax credits for ethanol blends. The E85 Promotion Tax Credit, available for fuel blends containing 70 to 85 percent ethanol, was extended at 16 cents per gallon through 2024. The E15 tax credit, available for fuel blends containing 15 to 69 percent ethanol, was extended through 2024 at 3 cents per gallon from Sept. 16 through May 31, and 10 cents per gallon from June 1 through Sept.

15 to help alleviate the summertime blending issues for registered E15.

The forward-thinking legislation also included an extension and adjustment of the Biodiesel Blended Fuel Retailer Tax Credit. While the incentive will continue at 4.5 cents per gallon for retailers offering a biodiesel blend containing a minimum of 5 percent biodiesel (B5) through 2017, from 2018 through 2024 it will then provide a 3.5 cents per gallon incentive on B5 and a 5.5 cents per gallon credit on

B11, or diesel blended with a minimum of 11 percent biodiesel.

According to a recent IRFA study, Iowa’s renewable fuels industry accounts for more than $4.6 billion of Iowa GDP, generates $2.3 billion in income for Iowa households and supports more than 43,000 jobs throughout all sectors of the Iowa economy.

Iowa is the nation’s leader in renewable fuels production. Iowa has 43 ethanol refineries capable of producing four billion gallons annually, including nearly 55 million gallons of annual cellulosic ethanol production capacity.

In addition, Iowa has 12 biodiesel facilities with the capacity to produce nearly 315 million gallons annually.

The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association was formed in 2002 to represent the state’s liquid renewable fuels industry. The trade group fosters the development and growth of the renewable fuels industry in Iowa through education, promotion, legislation and infrastructure development.

DEFINITIONS • Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL)- The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

• Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) -- The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

• ppb -- parts per billion.

• ppm -- parts per million.

• pCi/L-picocuries per liter • N/A- Not applicable • ND -- Not detected • RAA- Running Annual Average • LRAA - Locational Running Annual Average • IDSE- Initial Distribution System Evaluation • Treatment Technique (TT)- A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

• Action Level (AL) - The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) - The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.

• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

• SGL- Single Sample Result • TCR- Total Coliform Rule • NTU- Nephelometric Turbidity Units GENERAL INFORMATION Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants.

The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water posed a health risk. More information about contaminants or potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-4264791).

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. CRESTON WATER SUPPLY is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Putting the freeze on composting

Dear Heloise: COMPOSTING was added to our city-sponsored free recycling program, but with just two of us, filling a countertop container would take a long time. Other problems were the smell at each opening, messy dumping and cleaning the container.

So, we use a paper grocery bag in our freezer.

When it is full, we drop the entire thing in the bin on our way to other errands, since paper is part of the composting process. – Mary W., via email Yes, it’s a nice idea to have a countertop “compost bin,” but as you said, yuck!

Freezing “wet” garbage is an old hint, especially if you have garbage pickup once a week. One reader did this, but she also had a bag for leftovers to make soup. Yes, her husband grabbed the wrong bag to start the pot.

No soup that night! – Heloise CORN COB Dear Heloise: I was making soup, and corn was one of the ingredients. I had some corn on the cob and needed to remove the corn.

No problem: I grabbed my

Hints from Heloise fluted cake pan, stuck a cob in the inner ring and carefully cut off the kernels. – Tara D., Fort Wayne, Ind. This is a hint that makes life a little easier! Soups can be quick to make or can take a little longer, but the result is yummy. I have many recipes from family and friends in my Heloise’s Spectacular Soups pamphlet. To order, visit www.Heloise.com, or send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (68 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Soups, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. If you are using fresh corn on the cob, after cutting the kernels off, go back over with the knife to get the “milk” left on the cob. This really adds a nice touch to a pot of soup, or if you are making creamed corn. – Heloise

AMES— The patience of Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s girls golfers was severely tested during day one of the Class 4A girls state tournament Tuesday at Coldwater Golf Links.

At times, the Panthers were rewarded, but at others their shots fell just off the mark.

The punishment for missing the mark was severe.

Yet the Panthers are poised to regroup and have a big day on the second and

final day of the tournament.

Play on day two started at 9 a.m. this morning (Wednesday) in Ames, with the Panthers in fifth place.

Creston/O-M fired a team score of 374 on day one.

“There’s hope we can come back (today) and play harder,” said Creston/O-M coach Jan Lesan.

Putter struggles at times While the Panthers were able to play well from tee to green, it was around the greens where they found trouble. Lesan noted there were a number of three putts from the Panther girls.

“We would get up there in two by the green and it would take us four more to get in,” Lesan said. “We three-putted quite a few greens.”

Lesan had just watched the Panthers finish well around the greens during practice rounds last week. Their

struggles left her perplexed. “ W e were putting well,” Lesan said.

“We need to get back Lesan into putting well. This is a good putting group. They just didn’t get it done today.”

The setup left the Panthers struggling to finish around the hole.

“There were some very tough pin placements,” Lesan said. “If you missed it, you were down quite aways.”

Back to work Creston/O-M’s girls wasted little time in working to atone for its rough day around the greens. The team was back at the course Tuesday night working on putting.

They looked to use that to build momentum into today’s round.

“We’re not going to think backwards,” Lesan said.

“We’ll think about what we have to do (today). We’ll go out and putt some more, work out those kinks.”

Patience required The setup at Coldwater Golf Links required diligence in what shot the Panthers were going to play.

“There’s a lot of traps you can get into,” said sophomore Ashton Carter. “You have to be careful, have a good plan, good aim, know what club you’re going to use.”

The difficulty around the greens left many of the 55 players struggling to finish around the hole, slowing the overall pace of play down.

“We had to wait every single hole,” Carter said.

The course made it a challenge to find the sweet spot within the round.

“You couldn’t really get into a groove,” Lesan said.

Carter leads Panther contingent Carter is in the top 10, tied for ninth after an 88.

The pace bothered Carter at times, but she was able to adapt.

“I’m not a very pa- Carter tient person,” she said. “I knew I had more time. I could have had a better idea of what was going on.”

As the pace of play slowed, Carter and the rest of the Panthers were able to GOLF | 9A

Creston capitalizes on Clarinda mistakes in win

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

A slow start didn’t mar the evening as the Creston Panthers softball team put up seven runs in their last three trips to the plate and defeated the Clarinda Cardinals 8-2 on Wednesday night.

“Offensively (we) did just enough. Disappointed in our inability to adjust, we should be able to do a better job at that,” Creston coach Mike McCabe said.

that we need to be able to adjust to that,” McCabe said.

“It’s just part of being a good hitter.”

The Panthers went completely through the lineup in the fourth inning and did so while managing just two hits. Jami Sickels produced the first RBI of the inning by getting plunked with the softball by Gray.

Cali Foglesong picked up an RBI as well when she grounded into a fielder’s choice that scored Jami Sickels. Josie Sickels batted in another run with a single to cap the scoring in the fourth.

Lexie Little scored on a wild pitch in the fifth to increase the advantage to 5-2.

Chloe Hagle ripped a double off the fence to start things in the top of the sixth.

Creston proceeded to tack on three insurance runs. Little cracked out an RBI single that plated Brielle Baker. Alyssa Little Higgins had another RBI to score Saige Rice on a fielder’s choice.

Little led the way with a 3-for-4 night, an RBI and two runs.

The Panthers responded to a first-inning run from the Cardinals by scoring on a wild pitch. Taylor Briley had singled to get herself on base and accounted for the first Panther run of the evening. She went 1-for-3 on the night. Alli Thomsen, who was at the plate when Briley scored, became the first of seven straight Creston hitters to be retired.

Clarinda pushed across another run when Brett Samuelson hit a single over the second base bag to score Brooke Brown. The 2-1 lead didn’t last for the visitors.

Cardinal pitcher Madalynne Gray threw slower than what the Panthers had faced the last few games and they struggled to accomodate for the speed early on in Pitching bounces back the contest.

complete innings to secure the win. Foglesong hit her spots in more precise fashion than in Tuesday’s first loss to Lewis Central. She struck out six hitters, allowed nine hits and did not walk a single Cardinal.

Foglesong stranded runners in scoring position mutliple times during the evening and worked her way out of jams in the fourth and fifth innings.

Brown, Lexie Haer and Chandler Strough combined for seven of Clarinda’s nine hits, but outside of those three, Foglesong was ex-

tremely effective.

“It’s always good to come back and get a win, get that taste out of your m o u t h from last night,” M c C a b e McCabe said. “We know we’ve got to be sharper. We’re going to have to be whole lot better Thursday to have chance.”

On Thursday Creston plays host to Harlan in a critical home doubleheader.

First pitch is slated for 5:30 p.m.

Wednesday evening proved to be productive for the Creston Panthers JV softball team. The young Panthers benefitted from seeing a lot of pitches and walked in several of their 10 first-inning runs on their way two a three-inning 15-4 win.

Morghan had a 2-for-2 evening at the plate. Cayla Maitlen and Kylee LaMasters both went 1-for-1 and drove in two runs each.

Flurry late in half lifts Treynor in regional win

By LARRY PETERSON jured right now — a shoulCNA senior sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

TREYNOR — For more than 26 minutes, the underdog Creston girls battled in a scoreless tie with Treynor here Tuesday in a Class 1A Region 2 opener.

But once the floodgates opened on Alexis Kellar’s goal with 13 minutes, 24 seconds left in the first half, the Cardinals seized control.

Treynor (7-8) took a 4-0 halftime lead and outshot the Panthers 34-9 in cruising to an 8-0 victory.

Creston’s season ended at 4-13 as seniors Abbie Cook, Micah McCutchan, Madison Travis, Shelby Palser and Becca Ross concluded their careers.

Treynor advances to a Friday matchup with 11thranked Underwood, having lost twice previously in competitive matches, 3-0 and 4-3.

“We just have to get healthy,” said Treynor coach Robert Keesee. “We have six of our main players in-

der tear, two Achilles, an ACL and concussions. But we prepared well for this today. Our practices this week were extremely intense. We worked on quite a bit.”

Both Keesee and Creston coach Kim Lauffer saw the tone of a tightly-contested match turn lopsided after Treynor scored.

“I told the girls at half, we build by connecting passes,” Keesee said. “As we connect passes, we’re more successful. As we’re more successful, it just builds confidence.”

Lauffer said the Panthers didn’t respond with a strong counter when Kellar and Taylor Sudmann each scored two goals in the final 13:24 of the opening half. Kellar, a speedy freshman, finished with five goals. Sudmann had three goals and an assist.

“We came out strong in the first 15 to 20 minutes,” Lauffer said. “I honestly don’t think they (Cardinals) were expecting that. The SOCCER | 8A

Area baseball-softball Baseball Lenox 8, Sidney 0 LENOX — Aaron Schmitz tossed the area’s first seven-inning no-hitter in Lenox’s 8-0 win over Sidney on Friday evening.

Schmitz carved up the strike zone and rang up nine strikeouts while allowing four runners to reach base by walk.

The Tigers put up all eight runs against Sidney starter Sergio Rodriguez. Lenox stole 10 combined bases with Jared Hensley, Dawson Tullberg, and Colton Gordon all swiping two each. Colton Hogan drove in two runs and Schmitz helped his own cause with a 2-3 day at the plate.

Murray 3, Central Decatur 5 LEON — The Murray Mustangs put together some offense at the top of its order but could not muster enough to grab a win Friday evening against Central Decatur and fell 5-3.

Devin Slaughter, Reece Held, Kenny Boles, Bryce Keller, Zane Black all posted a hit and were the 1-5 batters in the lineup. Seth Shannon added another out of the

seven-spot and scored a run.

Keller’s single marked a 1-2 performance with two RBIs and two walks.

Held and Owen Tracy accounted for the other two runs with Tracy having gotten on base on a walk.

Boles pitched the first four innings of the contest.

He struck out three hitters, allowed three runs (one earned) and walked four.

Reece Held came on in relief and took the loss after pitching two innings, striking out two batters, walking three, and allowing two runs (one earned).

Murray tied the score at 3-3 in the sixth with two runs but the Cardinals responded with two runs in the bottom of the sixth to leave the score at its final tally.

Lenox 12 East Union 2 LENOX — Lenox Tigers baseball continued its tear with a 12-2 beating of the East Union Eagles at home Friday night.

The Tigers held the Eagles to just one hit on the evening as Derek Venteicher and Kaleb Anderson combined to complete the outing on the mound. Venteicher walked four batters

in an 1 1/3 inning of relief of Anderson. Anderson started the game on the mound and threw 4 2/3 innings of work.

He struck out five Eagles and walked one.

“We stepped up and hit the ball well tonight and continued our aggressive base running and solid defense,” Lenox coach Jesse Cox said.

The Tigers pushed runs across in each inning and led throughout.

Dawson Tullberg bashed three hits in four appearances at the plate and scored three times for the host team. Venteicher boasted a 3-for-3 night at the dish and scored two runs to help his own cause.

Softball Martensdale-St. Marys 12, East Union 0 MARTENSDALE — One team brought the lumber and another failed to as the Martensdale St. Marys Blue Devils mashed the East Union Eagles Friday evening.

Kacie Ripperger and Cassidy Riley were the lone Eagles to reach base. Ripperger went 1-for-1 with a walk while Riley went 0-for-1 with a walk.

problem was, they finally realized they needed to start winning balls and they did.

Then we started playing on our heels. We had some opportunities in the beginning and did not make good use of them. Then, after we’d been holding them off, once they scored we shut down a little bit mentally. We weren’t shutting down things in the midfield and started realizing how tired we were.”

Treynor’s young team (three seniors) kept on the attack after halftime, extending it to 6-0 in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Kellar’s final goal with 13:34 left was a skilled maneuver through two Panther defenders to find a crease for a hard shot to the far corner of the net.

Creston’s goalkeepers were busy. Starter Leah Schuler had 19 saves and six goals allowed, while Devon Buls had two saves and two goals allowed.

Freshman Taylor Buxton had a team-high four shots, all on goal. Freshman Grace Root at two shots and seniors Abbie Cook and Shelby Palser combined for the other three shots.

The 2016 high school rodeo season comes to an end shortly at the state level. One regular season rodeo event remains at Carson this weekend and then the finals loom June 10-12 in Waterloo.

Top area girls There are five area girls in the Top 10 of the All Around Standings with Dalli McIntire of Thayer leading. #5 is Bailee Prom of Prescott, #6 Kate Jaros of St. Charles, #7 Alli Masters of Leon and #9 Emily Gravlin of Creston.

Top area boys Five area boys sit among the Top 10 in the All Around standings. Tegan Smith of

Winterset is at #2, Dallen McIntyre of Thayer is at #4, Colt Spidle of Leon sits at #5, Jack Jaros of St. Charles is #6, and Riggin Smith at #10.

Top-ranked performers Several more in the area are performing exceptionally well. Dalli McIntyre is leading in Pole Bending, Tegan Smith of Winterset is leading Saddle Broke and Bull Riding and Kate & Jack Jaros are leading Girls & Boys Cutting. Sitting in second spots are Dallen McIntire of Thayer in Calf Roping, Riggin Smith of Winterset in Bareback and Bull Riding, Sierra Smith of Winterset in Goat Tying and Ali and Chance Masters of Leon in Breakaway Roping & Saddle Broke. Sitting at third in

“I give (Kazmir) a lot of credit,” said Cubs manager Joe Maddon, who pointed out the left-hander pitched independent ball in 2012.

“He reinvented himself.”

The loss snapped the Cubs’ six-game winning streak, as well as the Cubs’ streak of 23 consecutive victories in games Arrieta started. Arrieta shares the major-league record with Kris Medlen (2010-12 for the Braves).

Arrieta left without a victory for only the second time in 11 starts this season, but he extended his run of brilliance that started last June 21 and included a no-hitter

“Those five seniors and two of the juniors, this was their thing, so it’s like losing five of the seven of the core of our team, our family.

They’ve worked hard to include everyone. We hate to lose them.”

The team will hold an awards banquet at 4 p.m.

Sunday at Lauffer’s residence, 1011 N. Poplar Street.

Cubs lose with Jake Arrieta for first time in 24 starts CHICAGO (AP) — The Cubs learned Tuesday night that Jake Arrieta’s dominance doesn’t assure victory, no matter how dominant he is.

Arrieta pitched seven innings of two-hit ball, punctuated firmly when he struck out pinch-hitter Justin Turner after allowing three consecutive two-out walks in the seventh.

But Scott Kazmir and two relievers limited the Cubs to one hit and Clayton Richard’s troubles against lefthanders were exposed in a 5-0 loss to the Dodgers at Wrigley Field.

over the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Aug. 30, 2015.

Arrieta needed only 80 pitches to get through the first six innings. But the three walks in the seventh extended his pitch count so far that he was pulled after striking out Turner on a 94 mph fastball on his 107th pitch.

“I didn’t want to make a mistake in the middle of the plate,” said Arrieta, who corrected a reporter who suggested Kazmir outdueled him.

Maddon said he would have kept Arrieta in the game if he had not jacked up his pitch count.

Valley girls advance to regional semifinals STUART — The Nodaway Valley/West Central Valley/Adair-Casey girls outshot Atlantic 26-3 in earning a 4-0 shutout victory to open Class 1A Region 3 play Tuesday night.

Hailey Gross scored three second-half goals for the Valley girls, including two on assists by Abby Miller, after Emily O’Brien provided a 1-0 halftime lead on a goal seven minutes into the game.

Valley (13-2) advances to the regional semifinals Friday at North Polk.

“We started off slow,” coach Michael Krawczyk said. “The girls did a better job

the second half as they had some really nice crosses. Our defense did a great job all night to shut down Atlantic’s attack. This was a good team win.”

NV/WCV/A-C 4, Atlantic 0 NV/WCV/A-C (4) — Emily O’Brien, 33:20 first half; Hailey Gross (Abby Miller assist), 39:16 second half; Gross (Miller assist), 38:33 second half; Gross (O’Brien assist), 17:21 second half. Shots — 26. Keeper saves — 4.

think about the shots they would hit.

“It gave me a better idea of what I was going to do next,” Carter said. “It gave me a better idea of what we’re going to do.”

Carter felt the jitters at times. She was able to regroup and put together a respectable round.

“I got pressured sometimes and I didn’t have a very good hole,” Carter said.

“Then I’d have a good chip or drive and it brought my confidence back.”

Senior Madison Hance is tied for 15th after posting a 92.

“She got into some trouble early,” Lesan said. “She’s

kind of down.”

Lesan has big expectations for her senior in Hance’s final round as a Panther.

“She’ll do better (today),” Lesan said.

Team recap Sophomore Sophia Groumoutis is in 17th after a 93.

“Sophia was steady,” Lesan said.

Junior Haley Osmun is in 30th with a 101.

“She was hitting a ton out of the ball, chipping on the

green and then two-three putting,” Lesan said.

Senior Camryn Somers struggled with the flat stick, carding a 102, tied for 31st.

“Camryn can definitely do a lot better,” Lesan said.

“She three-putted 12 greens.

Her confidence was shot.

She was timid, not getting the ball there, then she’s barely miss her next putt.”

Junior Morgan Shawler is 55th with a 133.

“Morgan—this was her first time she’d played the course,” Lesan said. “She found the problems on the back (where she started her round). She finished well on the front.”

Ready to rebound A little sharper mindset in day two would help the Panthers.

“Putting is concentrating

a little more, slowing down,” Lesan said.

A better approach around the greens in today’s round will go far in helping the Panthers having a successful 18 holes of golf Lesan said.

“Just focusing more, taking some time, slowing down, getting that first putt in will do that and we’ll be off and running,” she said. “We need to stay focused on what they could do.”

One change was decided right away. Lesan noted they’ll be there earlier to prepare for today’s round.

“We didn’t get to the course fast enough. We rushed them,” Lesan said.

“We’ll take more time to hit putts and shag.”

Opportunity awaits The Panthers know what to expect heading into day

GOOD LUCK

two.

“It’s going to take a lot more patience and concentration,” Carter said. “I’m going to have to have courage in all of my shots and keep moving.”

Washington leads the team standings with a 351.

Dubuque Wahlert is second with a 361. Pella is third with a 366, followed by Fairfield with a 369 and Creston/Orient-Macksburg with a 374.

The Panthers can make a push up the leaderboard.

A good start will help greatly, Lesan said.

“We’re going to get out there strong, gain some strokes, see if we can catch some teams,” Lesan said. “I don’t know if we can catch Washington, but we can catch a couple of teams. We have an opportunity to fin-
