Creston woman donates hair to cancer patient

Iowa official pitches stopgap health insurance solution DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa’s insurance commissioner is proposing a plan he thinks could keep Iowa from becoming the first state to lose all of its health care insurance carriers offering policies on the Affordable Care Act exchange next year.

Doug Ommenn says he traveled to Washington last week with officials from two major Iowa insurance carriers to pitch a proposal to federal officials that would save the Iowa market from collapsing.

Minnesota-based Medica is the only remaining statewide insurer on the ex-

Marcia Stewart of Creston shows off the 13-inch ponytail Di Miller cut off her hair Thursday afternoon at 3’s Company in Creston. Stewart donated the ponytail to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, which provides free wigs to female cancer patients.

When Marcia Stewart of Creston last got her hair cut, she knew exactly what she wanted to do.

That was back in April or May of 2015. At the time, Stewart had her hair cut so she could donate it to cancer patients.

Stewart’s plan was to let her hair grow again until it was long enough she could donate to cancer patients again.

That time finally came Thursday, as Di Miller of 3’s Company in Creston cut 13 inches off Stewart’s hair to donate to Pantene Beautiful Lengths.

Stewart is unable to attend this weekend’s Relay for Life event at Creston Community High School, so donating her hair in the days leading up to the event was just one way she could give back and promote cancer awareness.

“This is the second time I’ve done it,” Stewart said. “It’s just sort of my way to help out. Working with early childhood, I had one little girl who had went through the whole treatment, back when it wasn’t as popular to wear scarves and stuff, and so I just started doing it then, years ago.”

Stewart said she chose Pantene Beautiful Lengths because the pro-

gram provides wigs made from donated hair to cancer patients for free.

Other programs, such as Locks of Love, charge wig recipients for the wigs.

According to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths website, its partnership with the American Cancer Society has resulted in 42,000 real-hair wigs being donated to the American Cancer Society’s Wig Bank.

Donated hair through Pantene Beautiful Lengths must be at least 8 inches in length and cannot be chemically treated or colored.

Stewart has always gone to Miller for hair cuts, although “they’re more like

trims!” she quipped, since it has been more than two years since her last cut.

For Miller, a breast cancer survivor, being involved in Stewart’s hair donation was important.

“I was fortunate enough I didn’t have to have chemo, so I didn’t lose my hair,” Miller said. “But I have worked, since I became a cosmetologist, with people who have lost hair, including my mother.

This is just my way to help out. I know what people have gone through. I’ve had several customers who have (donated). It’s just something I really, really am very fortunate to WIG | 2A

change and has said it will drop out if changes aren’t made.

Ommenn’s plan reallocates federal subsidies currently used to lower costs for older participants to entice younger people into the insurance market and uses federal reinsurance dollars to help insurers absorb highcost claims.

Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield has committed to selling insurance in all 99 Iowa counties next year if the plan is approved.

Without approval, Ommenn says Medica will drop out and 72,000 Iowans will be uninsured next year.

Sessions to testify as Republicans prod Trump on tapes WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Jeff Sessions is preparing to face former Senate colleagues over his role in the controversy around ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, part of an escalating investigation into possible Russian meddling in the 2016 elections.

Sessions is scheduled to testify Tuesday before the Senate Intelligence committee and was due for sharp questioning. It is not yet known whether the hearing will be public or closed.

No death notices were submitted for publication today.

Iowa teen graduates 2 days before death from cancer DUBUQUE (AP) — Family, teachers and friends are remembering an eastern Iowa teen who reached her goal last week of graduating from high school — just two days before she died after a months-long battle with cancer.

Allison Cress, 18, graduated from Hempstead High School in Dubuque on June 3, the Telegraph Herald reported. The feat came after she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, in September a little more than two weeks after starting her senior year.

The cancer had spread, and she underwent chemotherapy and had an affected leg amputated. When the chemotherapy didn’t work, she enrolled in a clinical trial, which failed to stop the cancer.

She was able to spend only three or four weeks in class during the school year, but worked with a tutor and taught herself, determined to reach her graduation date.

On Monday, she died at

home in Asbury, Iowa, surrounded by her family.

Her stepfather, Rafic Sinno, said Cress’ determination serves as inspiration.

“There’s no challenge that is too big to take on, in my mind, when I see what Allison has gone through,” he said.

Those who knew her best described her as a talented artist and avid reader.

Cress was the first student to receive her diploma during the graduation ceremony, as it would have been too difficult for her to make it through the ceremony.

Her friend and classmate, Jared Beacom, wheeled her across the stage.

“I really just wanted it to be more about her because it was a very big day for her,” Beacom said.

As she crossed the stage, her classmates gave her a standing ovation.

“She did it,” said her mother, Holly Sinno. “She did what she set out to accomplish.”

Scenic and popular areas around Union County have experienced visitor-created impacts in recent years, including excessive trash and damage to vegetation and trees. In most cases, the land impact isn’t due to a malicious intent to harm nature and wildlife.

be able to help with.”

Miller said several of the salons in Creston work together when it comes to cutting hair for wig donations.

Just last year, Miller cut a woman’s hair who donated it to an organization that specialized in making wigs for cancer patients who have gray hair.

“I think the first person I ever did was a little girl in my son’s Creative Beginning class,” Miller said.

“That was one of the first cuts I did. She wanted to donate her hair, so I went into the classroom and she did it. That was one, she was so selfless. She didn’t care how short it had to be, she just wanted to have a little girl or boy to have hair. You don’t find kids a lot of time who would do that.”

attorney general in the open,” Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., a member of the committee, said on Sunday.

Fellow Republicans, meanwhile, pressed President Donald Trump to come clean about whether he has tapes of private conversations with fired FBI Director James Comey and provide them to Congress if he does — or possibly face a subpoena. It was the latest fallout from riveting testimony from Comey last week of undue pressure from Trump, which drew an angry response from the president on Friday that Comey was lying.

“I don’t understand why the president just doesn’t clear this matter up once and for all,” said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, a member of the intelligence committee, referring to the existence of any recordings.

She described Comey’s testimony as “candid” and “thorough” and said she would support a subpoena of any tapes if needed.

Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., also a member of that committee, agreed the panel needed to hear any tapes, if they exist. “We’ve obviously pressed the White House,” he said.

Trump’s aides have dodged questions about whether conversations relevant to the Russia investigation have been recorded, and so has the president. Pressed on the issue Friday, Trump said “I’ll tell you about that maybe sometime in the very near future.”

Di Miller of 3’s Company in Creston measures Marcia Stewart’s hair Thursday afternoon. Miller cut off a 13-inch ponytail, which Stewart donated to Pantene Beautiful Lengths to be turned into a wig for a female cancer patient.

Stewart sees it as one way helping people.

“If people don’t help other of helping out, and encour“It’s just another way of people, we’re going to be in ages others to find a way of giving back,” Stewart said. a lot of trouble.”

Lankford said Sessions’ testimony Tuesday will help flesh out the truth of Comey’s allegations, including Sessions’ presence at the White House in February when Trump asked to speak to Comey alone. Comey alleges that Trump then privately asked him to drop a probe into former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s contacts with Russia.

Comey also has said Sessions did not respond when he complained he didn’t “want to get time a l o n e with the president a g a i n . ” Sessions The Justice Department has denied that, saying Sessions stressed to Comey the need to be careful about following appropriate policies.

“We want to be able to get his side of it,” Lankford said.

Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., said “there’s a real question of the propriety” of Sessions’ involvement in Comey’s dismissal, because Sessions had stepped aside from the federal investigation into contacts between Russia and the Trump campaign. Comey was leading that probe.

Reed said he also wants to know if Sessions had more meetings with Russian officials as a Trump campaign adviser than have been disclosed.

Trump on Sunday accused Comey of “cowardly” leaks and predicted many more from him. “Totally illegal?” he asked in a tweet.

“Very ‘cowardly!’”

Committee. Feinstein is the top Democrat on that panel and a member of both.

She said Sessions should also testify before the Judiciary Committee, because it was better suited to explore legal questions of possible obstruction. Feinstein said she was especially concerned after National Intelligence Director Dan Coats and National Security Agency Director Michael Rogers refused to answer questions from the intelligence committee about possible undue influence by Trump.

Sessions stepped aside in March from the federal investigation into contacts between Russia and the campaign after acknowledging that he had met twice last year with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. The former senator from Alabama told lawmakers at his January confirmation hearing that he had not met with Russians during the campaign.

Sessions has been dogged by questions about possible additional encounters with the ambassador, Sergey Kislyak.

As for the timing of Sessions’ recusal, Comey said the FBI expected the attorney general to take himself out of the matters under investigation weeks before he actually did. Comey declined to elaborate in an open setting.

Collins and Feinstein spoke on CNN’s “State of the Union and Lankford appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Reed was on “Fox News Sunday.”

Several Republican lawmakers also criticized Comey for disclosing memos he had written in the aftermath of his private conversations with Trump, calling that action “inappropriate.” But, added Lankford, “releasing his memos is not damaging to national security.”

The New York City federal prosecutor who expected to remain on the job when Trump took office but ended up being fired said he was made uncomfortable by oneon-one interactions with the president — just like Comey was. Preet Bharara told ABC’s “This Week” that Trump was trying to “cultivate some kind of relationship” with him when he called him twice before the inauguration to “shoot the breeze.”

He said Trump reached out to him again after the inauguration but he refused to call back, shortly before he was fired.

On Comey’s accusations that Trump pressed him to drop the FBI investigation of Flynn, Bharara said “no one knows right now whether there is a provable case of obstruction” of justice. But: “I think there’s absolutely evidence to begin a case.”

Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, a member of the Intelligence committee, sent a letter to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, urging him to investigate possible obstruction of justice by Trump in Grassley’s position as chairman of the Judiciary

White entered Wal-Mart with her 10-year-old son and took a shopping cart full of merchandise. They then went past the checkout counters without paying for the items and her son, with her knowledge and consent, left the store with the cart of unpaid merchandise.

This act was recorded and was eventually observed by the loss prevention officer of Wal-Mart, and the incident was reported to the Creston Police Department on Thursday. On Saturday, officers met with White and her son at the Union County LEC. During this interview, White admitted that she and her son dtook merchandise from Wal-Mart on Tuesday without paying for it. The value of the merchandise was approximately $429.53. White was then charged with fourth-degree theft and placed in the Union County jail.

The items in the cart were valued at approximately $296.46.

On Thursday, White also entered Wal-Mart and placed merchandise in a shopping cart while in the store. The merchandise was not paid for and White went to her car after she had instructed her son to push the cart out to the vehicle she was in. The son was stopped

in the entryway of the store by an employee, and officers were contacted. Upon arrival, officers spoke with the son who said he had been instructed by his mother to take the cart full of merchandise to her car, at which point White was charged and transported to Union County Law Enforcement Center.

The items in the cart were valued at approximately $296.46.

PANTHER SOFTBALL AT JOHN STEPHENS CLASSIC

Panthers winless at John Stephens Classic Creston competes Saturday after struggling Friday ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

This past weekend’s John Stephens Classic, featured on the Creston High School and Southwestern Community College softball field, was played in soaring heat and with plenty of fierce competition.

Creston’s softball squad didn’t get the results it wanted in losing two contests on each Friday and Saturday, but did take in plenty of exciting action in an invitational that consistently draws the praise of coaches in attendance.

The Panthers fell in five innings to Bondurant-Farrar, 14-1 and

Ankeny, 11-0 on Friday.

Saturday, Creston took Sioux City East to the wire in a 7-6 loss, and was handed a 6-1 loss by Dallas Center-Grimes Saturday evening to end the Classic.

Forget the fifth Creston and visitor Bondurant-Farrar competed in a close, low-scoring affair for four innings before things unraveled for the Panthers.

Creston junior Chloe Hagle rounds second and heads to third on a triple in the sixth inning of Creston’s 7-6 loss to Sioux City East Saturday in the Panthers’ third game of the John Stephens Classic. Hagle scored on a Rutherford single, but the game came to a close on the next batter.

AREA SOFTBALL AT JOHN STEPHENS CLASSIC

Lady Mustangs outlast Class 3A foes at JSC

By RYAN KRONBERG and KALEB CARTER CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com and CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Murray softball had its biggest day on the softball diamond in years when it defeated three Class 3A teams over two days Friday and Saturday in the John Stephens Classic at Creston High School.

The Lady Mustangs started off with a 5-3 win Friday morning over Bondurant-Farrar, and earned narrow victories of 2-1 over Class 3A third-ranked Atlantic and 2-1 over Clarke.

The highlight of Saturday was Murray’s win against Atlantic.

Murray’s season stood at a crossroads following Wednesday’s 14-4, six-inning setback at Class 2A second-ranked Interstate 35.

The Lady Mustangs made plays at the right times this weekend to right the ship.

MueeT came into the weekend coming off a hearbreaking 1-0 loss to Mount Ayr Monday, then the loss in Truro Wednesday.

Lady Mustangs coach Danny Jensen had questions about where the season was heading.

“After we lost to Mount Ayr on Monday, (assistant) coach (Tessa) Otto and I were soul searching,” Jensen said. “We didn’t know what this week was going to

bring.”

After Friday and Saturday, it was all smiles for the

Lady Mustangs.

“We were down after the Mount Ayr game. We came

out of that I-35 came a little shocked,” Jensen said. “It turned out really good. We

came out well this week.”

The competition was stiff for the Lady Mustangs, going up against three Class 3A schools.

Last year, the Lady Mustangs were 3-1 at the John Stephens Classic, but not against the caliber of teams they faced this weekend.

“Atlantic, Clarke and Bondurant, that’s pretty tough competition for a small, little place like us,” Jensen.

Murray had one big inning in each win.

Against Bondurant-Farrar, that was a five-run fifth.

Kayla Wookey drove in two runs while striking out seven in the circle for the win.

Atlantic came into the day a perfect 16-0, the best record regardless of class.

Earlier in the day, the Trojans fell to Clarke 3-2.

Clarke County teams proved to be the the bane of Atlantic’s existence as Bre Klein kept Atlantic out of the hit column for five innings, struck out eight and mowed through the Trojan lineup in the win.

In the sixth, Jensen knew he had to make his move.

With Kayla Wookey at the plate, he called his runners and batter together.

On Ally Anderson’s next pitch, Jensen had Brandi Gilbert take off for second from first, and on the catcher’s throw to short, Zadie Hatfield took off from third.

CRESTON: CONT. FROM | 5A

where the Panther freshman just couldn’t seem to find a groove.

“I left her in too long and I just felt she earned the chance to get out of that,” Creston coach Mike McCabe said. “Unfortunately we gave them about four extra outs. I thought she pitched good. She had a good rhythm going.”

Over a span of 16 batters, 15 reached base, nine singles and two doubles were hit, three errors were made by the Panthers and the team threw the ball to the wrong base or passed the cutoff man multiple times.

McCabe is adamant that while struggles like this aren’t enjoyable or acceptable, growing pains for the inexperienced Panthers are inevitable.

“You’ve got to go through it. It’s not fun. It’s not fun at all,” McCabe said.

Lexie Little hit two singles to lead the Panthers.

Kiersten Latham drove in Saige Rice with a slap infield single to score Creston’s lone run in the fourth inning.

McCabe lauded Little’s

SB: CONT. FROM | 5A

“I thought they were actually going to throw to second base and then I seen it coming slower so I knew it was going to go to shortstop, so I knew I had to hurry up,” Hatfield said.

Hatfield just barely did get in under the tag for the 1-0 lead.

“When I dove the ball was just getting to her glove,” Hatfield said. “Got down just in time.”

Murray added on with a Kelli Romero single to score Gilbert.

Klein just consistently tried to keep the ball on the inside portion of the plate, per Jensen’s scouting tip.

Jensen estimated that he only called for five outside pitches all game.

He did not want the Trojans batters to get their hands extended to make solid contact on the ball.

“I was using my inside fastball consistently,” Klein said.

That was all I was throwing basically besides the rise ball … that’s it. That’s the only two pitches I threw.”

Murray then came away with a 2-1 victory against its county rival.

Against Clarke, the Lady Mustangs trailed 1-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth.

The inning was critical for Murray as the game was within 10 minutes of being

field coming off the injury, the Panthers had a new look about them.

After a scoreless first for Sioux City East, Little led off the home half with a deep bomb to left center field for her first home run of the year and second of her varsity career.

Brielle Baker went 3-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored to earn Player of the Game honors. She scored the second run of the game in the second inning.

Latham drove in Baker in the second with a slap single to tie the game 2-2-.

Saige Rice drove in a Peyton Rice, as a courtesy runner for LaMasters, in the third with a single, as did Baker, with Saige Rice scoring. Creston led 5-3 at that point.

Sioux City East made the best of its trip to the plate in the fifth, scoring four runs.

A run scored on a Markee Gruis walk, a ball in play off the bat of Kayla Washington that the Panther infield mishandled for an error, and when nine-hitter Josie Blake hit a single that scored two runs. That 7-5 lead was enough for the visitors.

Creston did add another run when Chloe Hagle tripled to right and Rutherford

singled to score her, but the Panthers fell when Saige Rice flew out.

Fillie finish Creston had chances to score against Dallas Center-Grimes in the finale of Saturday’s Classic, but only put one on the board in a 6-1 loss.

Kylee LaMasters hit a fly ball that was dropped in the outfield and allowed Brielle Baker to score. The Panthers found themselves down 4-1 with a chance to chop away at the lead more with the four and five hitters to the plate, but both Rutherford and Saige Rice struck out.

The Fillies scored one more in each the fifth and sixth.

Hagle recorded two hits and Little had one. Cali Foglesong took the loss. She struck out three, walked one and surrendered 12 hits.

UP NEXT — The schedule will not get much easier for the Panthers, as Creston plays Red Oak, Glenwood, Denison-Schleswig and goes to the Oskaloosa tournament this coming weekend.

“We don’t have any gimmes to make us feel good,” McCabe said.

Creston (4-13, 2-4) plays at Red Oak (10-7, 4-5) at 7:30 p.m. today (Monday).

win at Wayne Friday night.

The Raiderettes had good moments, but dropped both contests Saturday.

Mount Ayr fell to Red Oak 5-4 and Treynor 7-4.

Raiderettes coach Bret Ruggles could tell something was a bit off early in the day.

“This morning, I thought we came pretty prepared, but unfortunately sometimes teams don’t quite get off the bus. We didn’t do that today,” Ruggles said.

Ruggles’ squad has shown flashes of brilliance, particularly earlier this past week.

The Raiderettes edged Murray 1-0 in Murray, then picked up the road win in Corydon.

Stringing together games is something Ruggles would like to see in the future.

“That’s the biggest thing for us is to get that consistency,” Ruggles said. “We seem to lack that consistency. Big games, we’ll be there. Other games, we don’t get there.

(Saturday) we just didn’t seem to have it.”

Red Oak jumped out to a 3-0 lead with a run in the first and two more in the third.

Mount Ayr responded with a four-run third, but the Tigers countered with two in the sixth.

Mount Ayr took a 4-3 lead when McAlexander crushed a towering blast far over the Raiderettes drop pair left field fence for a threeMount Ayr came into Sat- run round tripper. Aided by urday morning’s games off of a gusty south wind, McAlexa thrilling 5-4, eight-inning ander’s drive was estimated

Hawkettes slash Panthers Creston could not keep visiting Ankeny off the board early in an 11-0, five-inning loss to Ankeny Friday.

Ankeny scored four runs in the first, three in the second and four in the fifth.

Creston compounded its mistakes in the early going with five errors.

The Panthers managed just one hit, from Little, as Ankeny’s Sophie Buttjer struck out two, walked none and kept Creston’s bats under control.

Nearly halfway through the season, the Panthers still seek to better themselves and compete at a higher level. As for what is lacking, McCabe sees several things.

“We lack a lot of confidence. Toughness, mental toughness,” McCabe said.

Cali Foglesong sustained the loss in the circle.

Simmering Saturday When the Panthers got back after it on Saturday, they showed new energy in a 7-6 loss to Sioux City East.

With Cammy Rutherford back in the lineup in the cleanup spot and playing left halted by the time limit.

Murray put runners on first and third with two outs.

Kelli Romero put the ball in play on the left side of the infield. Clarke shortstop Ashlynn Oehlert’s throw sailed over Clarke first baseman Sydnee Redman’s head, allowing Brandi Gilbert and Kayla Wookey to score for the lead.

The game was called due to time limit before the inning could end.

“Our kids played with heart and played with guts,” Jensen said. “We found out there was nine minutes to go.

We told them this would be the last at bat. They had to go for it. Sure enough they did.”

Murray had the timely rally all weekend, even if it caused a little added stress for the veteran Lady Mustangs coach.

“I did say, ‘Hey, I’m getting old, I’ve had a heart attack. Can you all just do that in the fourth or fifth inning?,” Jensen said through some laughter.

High Lakes Leadership celebrates the graduates of 2017 The High Lakes Leadership Initiative Board of Directors announced the graduation of the youth and adult leadership programs.

The youth program graduated 15 individuals and the adult program graduated 12. The youth program wrapped up its fifth year and consists of both East Union and Creston students working together and participating in various leadership workshops, field trips as well as a yearend project that brings both programs together for a final project. Thad Tussey and Jerry Hartman act as facilitators for the youth program. The adult program, facilitated by Wayne Pantini, was filled with exposure to various resources in Union County, leadership based classes as well as an opportunity to work with new members within the community.

“I couldn’t be more impressed with how it all turned out,” said Natasha Van Heeswyk from Iowa State Savings Bank.

“I made great friendships, learned awesome networking skills, found out new things in Union County, built up my leadership skills and this list goes on.”

The High Lakes Leadership Initiative is a program of the Union County Development Association. The leadership initiative is led by a growing list of alumni and other community volunteers. If anyone would like more information about this topic, contact Mindy Stalker at 641-7822003 or email at mstalker@ unioncountyiowa.com.
