Jordan Hobfoll, the Small Business Innovation Research and Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) outreach program coordinator for Iowa Innovation Corporation based in Des Moines, talks about the SBIR/STTR program during a conference sponsored by Iowa Innovation Corporation and Iowa Venture Capital Association held Thursday at Southwestern Community College in Creston.

During a conference Thursday, Iowa representatives spoke of statewide programs to help Iowans grow a business or implement an innovative idea.

Iowa is a great place to start and grow a business, and there are resources nearby for every step of the process, according to leaders of business growth and innovation programs in the state.

On Thursday, an innovation showcase sponsored by Iowa Innovation Corporation and Iowa Venture Capital Association made a stop at Southwestern Community College in Creston.

Representatives from Iowa Innovation, Iowa State University (ISU) and University of Northern Iowa (UNI) detailed the resources their programs offer and encouraged attendees to come forth with business ideas, whether it be an idea for a start-up business or a way to improve an existing business or idea.

“It can feel daunting when you’re first starting,” said Jordan Hobfoll with Iowa Innovation. “We want to give you the best chance for success with whatever your idea is.”

What is innovation?

In business, innovation can refer to the start-up of a new or creative business.

It can also take the form of altering existing processes, products or ideas to improve productivity for the producer, consumer or both.

Union County Those with an innovative idea in Union County are first encouraged to contact someone locally at the

Union County Development Association (UCDA), Small Business Development Center or Chamber of Commerce, said UCDA Executive Director Wayne Pantini. “ W e can work together to meet business needs,” Pantini said. “We Pantini have access to different research studies and so forth that can help prove whether there’s a market out there. And then, they should just get involved – get to networking with other business owners and learn from them, as well.”

If one of the Union County programs doesn’t have the resources to help an individual, Pantini said they may make a referral to a statewide program.

“We collaborate because there are different businesses at different business

cycles,” Pantini said. “They may be start-ups, they may be more mature businesses, but no matter where they’re at in that process, they’re constantly evolving, so these programs are able to collaborate to meet needs and make referrals to different groups depending on what cycle that business is in.”

DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa Department of Corrections has acknowledged it didn’t tell the board that oversees the agency about two drunken driving convictions on the record of the man it recommended to serve as warden for the state’s prison in Fort Dodge.

Top officials with the department were aware Robert A. Johnson had been arrested for drunken driving in 1991 and 2008, but didn’t see a need to tell the Board of Corrections because the incidents were not recent, Assistant Director Fred Scaletta told the Des Moines Register for a

story published Monday.

“It just really wasn’t relevant, because it would have no bearing on whether he would qualify or not,” Scaletta said.

Department of Corrections Director Jerry Bartruff recommended Johnson and the board voted to hire him on May 6.

Board member John Chalstrom, a school administrator from Sioux City, said he defers to the department’s management to investigate employee backgrounds.

“Their processes are sound,” he said. “If they feel OWI | 2A

Obama struggles for solution on violence WASHINGTON (AP) — Was it homegrown terrorism, hatred or random gun violence?

Americans searching for answers after the Orlando shootings are finding no easy solutions from President Barack Obama, who is conceding that a deadly mix of extremism and easy gun access have made future tragedies almost a foregone conclusion.

In the days after the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history, Obama has offered no simple prescriptions or promises for new action — even as the candidates vying for his

job put forward aggressive plans of their own. Instead, the president has suggested the root causes behind a “disturbed” man’s actions are difficult to determine and may be less important than a sort of “soul searching” about what to do about it.

“We know that at some point there are going to be, out of 300 million, there are going to be some individuals who find for whatever reason that kind of horrible propaganda enticing,” Obama said Monday. “And if that happens, and OBAMA | 2A

Deaths Marilyn Kelley Meridian, Idaho

Marilyn June Kelley, 86, of Meridian, Idaho, formerly of Afton, passed away after a cour a g e o u s Kelley 10-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease on June 7, 2016.

Marilyn was born in Afton to Fred and Clarice Warrior on June 15, 1929.

She went to high school at Afton High School and graduated in 1947. She met and married the love of her life, William P. Kelley in 1949 and they would have celebrated their 67th anniversary on July 4.

CONT. FROM | 1A

Marilyn was preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Clarice; brother Ken Warrior and sister Janice Peterson.

Marilyn is survived by her husband Bill; daughter Teresa Bordner (Gary); twin sons, William (Janet) and Robert (Elaine); daughter Kathleen Ohnsman (Richard) and sister Carol Amos of St. Joseph, Missouri. Bill and Marilyn also have 11 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, 1-800-272-3900 or online at www.alz.org.

The family wishes to extend their gratitude to Grace Memory Care in Meridian and Legacy Home Health Care and Hospice for their support in her final months.

that an individual has the appropriate qualifications and expertise, then they will have my full support.”

Critics said the board should have been told about the drunken driving record.

“The board has responsibility for the staff and for the policies of the Department of Corrections,” said Jean Basinger, a leader of Citizens United for the Reform of Errants, a prison reform group. “If they just trust the staff to make the decisions, then there is no point in having a Board of Corrections.”

Johnson, 53, was hired as a correctional officer in 1989 for the state prison in Rockwell City. After several promotions, he spent the last 13 years as deputy prison superintendent.

He acknowledged the arrests in Carroll County and said he served some jail time and fulfilled all court requirements.

“I didn’t make very good decisions at that time, and I learned from it,” Johnson told the Des Moines Register. “I promised my family and myself and my employer that I was going to change, and I changed from that day forward.”

The drunken driving arrests do not appear in online court records.

Scaletta declined to dis-

cuss Johnson’s hiring or details of his arrests. He said both cases were deferred judgments. That means once a defendant completes probation and pays penalties ordered by the court the case is discharged without entry of judgment.

The Carroll County attorney’s office said county court records prior to 1993 are not online. The 2008 case, according to court documents, which also don’t appear online, show the judge allowed another deferred judgment. Johnson’s license was revoked and he was required to remain free of any trouble for a year. He had to get a substance abuse evaluation, take a drinking driver’s education class and pay $1,250 in fines.

Johnson’s voicemail at the prison indicated he was on vacation this week and didn’t respond to a message.

by the Iowa Economic Development Authority to help businesses connect to private and public funding, including federal agencies.

Iowa Innovation works with a variety of groups, from start-up businesses to existing companies to nonprofits.

The corporation’s goal is to help anyone in the business of creating jobs and growth to ensure they have the tools necessary to succeed, said Hobfoll, the Small Business Innovation Research and Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) outreach program coordinator for Iowa Innovation.

The SBIR/STTR program is for small businesses, as defined by less than 500 employees and more than 51 percent U.S. owned by individuals.

“There are big companies out there that might have 200 employees that have been around for 70 years, and they can still participate if they have a new, innovative idea,” Hobfoll said.

In the SBIR/STTR program, the first step for someone with an innovative idea is to do a “proposal idea review,” which is a nocost review with an SBIR consultant for feedback on the idea.

After the proposal idea review, if the person wants to move forward with that idea, the next step is “third-party proposal technical assistance,” where Iowa Innovation will cover the entire cost of third-party services directly related to preparing proposals.

that person can get a weapon, that’s a problem.”

The comments were Obama’s most direct acknowledgment yet that the attacks like the one in OrObama lando may be a new fixture of American life — the sort of observation that could only be delivered by a second-term president with seven months left in office.

Obama’s two-prong message, delivered with weary resignation to reporters, was unlikely to quell the fears of those hoping such attacks will never happen again.

But the president has seemed to embrace his end-of-term role. He’s also mindful that his administration has overseen the dawn of a new era of domestic attacks and it is incumbent to try to explain the forces at play.

The White House began pointing in various directions on Monday, defending the administration at each turn while announcing Obama would travel to Or-

“On the back end, we have a $25,000 commitment to match financial assistance,” Hobfoll said. “So, if you do get an SBIR award, we’ll give you an extra $25,000 to help pay for things that are outside of the scope of what the award allows you to spend the money on ... like intellectual property protection, marketing or research work or big pieces of equipment.”

Iowa Innovation seeks to provide consulting support throughout the whole process.

“We want to help you from day one of your phase one all the way through submission of your phase two,” Hobfoll said.

Hobfoll said if a person’s idea doesn’t fit the SBIR/ STTR program, he will refer him or her to another Iowa program.

are: improving financial performance, which may include improving profit margins and reducing manufacturing or inventory costs; upgrading engineering capabilities, including integrating emerging technologies; achieving manufacturing excellence, which may mean reducing environmental impact and improving team performance, such as hiring world-class engineers and developing an innovative culture.

CIRAS clients have reported an economic impact of more than $2 billion over the past five years, Dunnwald said.

For more information, call CIRAS at 515-294-3420.

University of Northern Iowa UNI in Cedar Falls houses the Center for Business Growth and Innovation which, through a network of businesses and resources, serves small businesses and entrepreneurs throughout Iowa. There are several programs offered by the center.

One of the programs, “Business Concierge,” offers no-cost market research and referrals for any small business in Iowa. Another program, “Advance Iowa,” is a comprehensive consulting program for groups of eight to 50 employees that need help with a specific project.

“Then, there’s ‘Dream Big, Grow Here,’ which is our Iowa grant contest,” said Patrick Luensmann, program manager at UNI. “This last year, we gave away $35,000 and six awards to companies and industries across Iowa. ... The point of that program is to get

Iowa State University ISU in Ames houses the Center for Industrial Research and Service (CIRAS), a network of university and industry experts who seek to enhance the performance of industry.

CIRAS’ approach is to engage, educate and embed.

Paul Dunnwald with the ISU outreach center said this approach creates a solution that allows each business, along with its community, to prosper. And, with the program’s satisfaction guarantee, a typical CIRAS client earns a 200 percent return on investment.

Dunnwald said CIRAS has specific, research-based methods for helping people with business ideas achieve their goals. These methods lando on Thursday to “stand in solidarity with the community.”

There appeared to be no missteps at the FBI, which had interviewed presumed shooter Omar Mateen in the past, Obama said. Although Mateen wasn’t on any watch list at the time, Obama blasted as “crazy” a system in which law enforcement officials weren’t alerted when he purchased the assault rifle and handgun used in the attack.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest revived the White House’s oft-repeated critique of Republicans for blocking “common-sense” gun legislation. Though he declared the president was not resigned to accept the outbreak of mass violence as normal and described considerable “presidential frustration,” he did not outline any new push for gun control measures.

The Orlando attack comes as the White House had begun touting new progress against the Islamic State group, one of the groups that Mateen claimed to follow as he carried out the attack.

Last week, the U.S. envoy to the anti-IS coalition argued that the group’s morale was “plummeting” and its

funding and recruiting were drying up. Brett McGurk said that IS had lost half its territory in Iraq and that the U.S. and its partners were killing an IS leader about every three days.

Obama had planned to echo that message publicly following a National Security Council meeting on Tuesday that will now take on a much less sanguine tone.

The juxtaposition has illustrated that “going after terrorists over there,” as Obama put it last year, has not seemed to lessen the risk of terrorism at home. That’s especially true when it comes to so-called “homegrown extremism” or “lone wolves” — phrases used to describe instances where individuals in the U.S., inspired by groups like IS, take it upon themselves to plan and execute deadly attacks at home.

“It is a perverse reaction to the success that we are having on the geographic battlefield,” said Wendy Sherman, Obama’s former undersecretary of state.

“WE ALL try to work together as best as we can.”

Luensmann said if UNI consultants don’t have an answer to a business question, they will make a referral to another company, such as CIRAS. “We all try to work together as best as we can,” Luensmann said.

Which program to choose To some degree, the type of idea a person has can help determine which corporation to contact, and then, which specific program is the best fit for that idea.

“There are some resource providers that serve a certain clientele or type of business, but in the bigger scope, any one of them are able to make referrals to the different types of businesses that approach them looking for those resources,” Pantini said. “Even if they themselves are not able to help, they can make that referral to another resource provider.”

Pantini said there will be a follow-up to Thursday’s innovation showcase with speakers explaining how to put on a pitch for a new business or innovative idea.

“As a result, ISIS is looking to show that it still is powerful, and one of the ways it does that is to claim ‘lone wolf,’ because they don’t have to come to Syria or Iraq or Libya.”

Obama has long conceded that there’s no surefire way to detect those attacks in advance, tacitly putting Americans on notice that some level of violence is inevitable. The FBI said last month it was monitoring more than 1,000 people who are potentially at risk for radicalization and violence.

Though the U.S. has made countering extremist ideologies — especially online — a key component of its anti-IS strategy, the effectiveness of those efforts is called into doubt by continued attacks by people found later to have been inspired by IS from thousands of miles away.

“It is, that if we have self-radicalized individuals in this country, then they are going to be very difficult oftentimes to find ahead of time,” Obama said.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, June 14, 2016

How we’ll be remembered One of these days, those of us of advanced age will be gone – so it might be important to think about how we want to be remembered.

It’s tempting to think an illustrious career will be the focal point of those remembering us. I notice how some obituaries, especially in the Des Moines Register, go on and on about the deceased person’s professional positions, memberships and leadership in various service clubs. It was obvious they were proud of their status in the community or in their chosen profession, and many of them devoted most of their lives to polishing their own credentials.

They must have felt very important while they were living, but how fleeting that importance can be now they are gone. I’m sure they were recognized for their achievements along the way, but, let’s face it, once the funeral is over, the world quickly moves on. It’s pretty deflating to

In other words June Bower

one’s ego to realize that once we are gone, most of the people out there in the community won’t spend a whole lot of time thinking about us.

The only place, really, where memories linger is among the people closest to us – or people who should be closest to us, anyway. The only people who will really remember how we lived and when we died are our families – and maybe a close friend or two. The only people who will actually care that we are gone are those we loved and cherished, the people we sacrificed for, the people we looked out for and protected when they needed us. And if we didn’t look out

for them, and didn’t love and cherish them like we should have, they’ll remember that too.

I’ve always believed one of the most important things people can do with their lives is to pave the way for the generations following them.

Whether it is family or other young people who could use our help, giving them a leg up can be one of the most important legacies a person can leave behind. As one who grew up on a farm and has remained in agriculture most of my life, I have long appreciated the value of helping young farm families live and work on the farm. My parents helped my family stay on the farm during some really rough times, and I’ve always tried to ease the burden on my kids so they can find success in farming, and outside of farming as well.

For those reluctant to give up anything to help the younger generation, it often comes down to two

things: money and pride. I just don’t get it when the older generation today values its own wealth above the younger generation’s needs. When my generation was getting started, it was common for parents to deed over 80 or 120 acres to establish a son or daughter in farming. Uncles and aunts passed on farms to nieces and nephews, as well. I admire land owners who care more about passing their land on to someone they love, than lining their pockets with more money.

Sadly, there are some in the younger generation who have adopted the same mind set. They measure everything by its monetary value, and completely forget that family and friendships are far more important than accumulating wealth. Some younger farmers apparently believe that owning or renting the most acres and having the biggest operation in the county is how they’ll be remembered, and

there are young men and women who believe their careers and their hobbies is how they’ll make their mark. Unfortunately, many of them will be remembered only for what their ambition cost their families and their reputations.

The generation before us didn’t care so much about their lengthy resumes or their net worth. There was a modesty about them that prevented them from blowing their own horns, and showing off their possessions. They often sacrificed their own comfort and pleasure to make sure their loved ones would be OK when they were gone. It’s probably true that they’ve likely been forgotten by almost everyone else in the community, but they will live forever in the hearts of those they helped along the way.

‘The Shooters’ invites new members

By Roger Nurnberg, President Creston

To let everyone know, the Creston pyrotechnics team (AKA “The Shooters”) are right on schedule with the 10,000 Crestonians Show for the Fourth of July. As usual, we have some members that have developed other interests or taken on other obligations after many years of building beautiful devices for your enjoyment.

The younger guys and gals (yes, we have female members, too) are trying to pick up the slack as I write this.

The Creston Pyrotechnic Association presently has only 10 active members who are local and can work on the Creston display. However, the Shooters does enjoy membership from areas as far away as West Des Moines and Grimes. The Shooters Club is legally licensed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATFE) as manufacturers, which gives the team the latitude to make the Crestonian show unique and to stretch your donation dollar as far as we can. Our funding comes entirely from donations. More importantly, the entire 10,000 Crestonian

celebration is done with your donations, especially from the business community. If you can help, drop a check off at the Chamber of Commerce on Highway 34 across from Dairy Queen.

Members volunteer for any shows they may want to work on, after they receive their personal ATFE clearance, while a few other members are “support crew,” which is important too. The Shooters do several other shows each year as a means of supporting the surrounding communities as well as individual family reunions, wedding celebrations, birthdays and anniversaries. This year we are also helping the City of Clarinda, City of Greenfield and Adams County Speedway. But, the 10,000 Crestonian show will always be our pride and joy.

We want to take this opportunity to thank those who have helped put our pyrotechnics together in the past, and invite anyone with an interest to contact us for a membership application. For those who just like to follow the Shooters, you can find us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/ Creston-Shooters-Pyrotechnics-Association/334671797486?fref=ts.

Home Depot for Trump HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus announced last week he’s endorsing Donald Trump for president, sparking boycotts against Home Depot. The CEO’s announcement shouldn’t surprise you. Endorsing Donald Trump is practically God’s will when your company logo is orange and white.

Southern Californians were jolted by a 5.5-point earthquake along the San Jacinto fault early Friday morning centered in San Diego County but felt as far north as Santa Barbara. The aftershocks lasted all day. Californians were shaking like a billionaire listening to Bernie Sanders.

Hollywood got a major health scare Tuesday when a woman who’d just returned from Africa was stricken with Ebola-like symptoms. Doctors urged calm.

They point out that more Americans have been married to the Kardashians than have died from Ebola, and the Ebola victims suffered less.

The Hollywood Reporter quoted Scott Disick saying he thinks he has a Kardashian curse after his break-up with Kourtney. It’s a curse, alright. Last week, two Kardashians drove to Disneyland and when they saw the freeway sign saying Disneyland Left, they started crying and headed back home.

Donald Trump in a speech to evangelicals in Washington Friday stood by his proposed ban on allowing Syrian refugees into the U.S. He was blasted by

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

the administration for profiling Muslims. Homeland Security tells us that if you see something say something, just don’t say anything offensive.

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was reported Friday to be considering Senator Elizabeth Warren to be her vice presidential running mate. It would Clinton be confusing if they get elected to office. When the Marine Band plays Hail to the Chief at state dinners they’ll both wave in acknowledgement.

The PGA Tour announced it’s moving the Doral Open from the Trump National Golf Club in Miami Beach to Mexico City next year. It was a humbling moment for Trump. It may be time to look at your minority outreach program when an allwhite sport punishes you for insulting Mexicans.

Hillary Clinton, President Obama and Elizabeth Warren called Trump a racist Thursday and he called the trio a criminal, a failure and a fake Indian.

If you don’t like this political weather, it will change in 15 minutes. If you like this political weather, may God have mercy on your soul.

NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice” new host Arnold Schwarzeneg-

ger announced Wednesday he sides with the Hispanic judge in the case against Trump University. This is getting a little personal. Apparently, Arnold enrolled in some acting classes at Trump University and he wants his money back.

Stanford University star swimmer Brock Turner was sentenced to just six months in prison for sexually assaulting a young woman while she was completely unconscious.

The public outrage is gathering steam. He could be banned from every comedy club in America for doing Bill Cosby’s act.

The White House confirmed that U.S. forces killed the leader of the Taliban with a drone strike near the mountainous border region of Pakistan and Afghanistan last week. As they say, that’s show business. One day you’re all over the newspapers, and the next day you’re all over the pavement.

The Taliban announced Tuesday its council elected a new leader of the Taliban who’s vowing to drive the infidels out of their country. It’s a perilous life but it has its perks. The advantage to being in the Taliban is that when you divorce and re-marry you can keep the same photo on your desk.

The Las Vegas Strip saw its first medical marijuana dispensaries open this month, making pot legal. Pot is legal in Sin City, along with prostitution, 24-hour bars and gambling. The only thing now illegal in Nevada is armed robbery, making O.J. Simpson feel like even more of an idiot.

Bookmark pays off?

Dear Heloise: I just bought a used book over the internet from a company, not an individual. It contained two PAY STUBS, which had been used as bookmarks. They contained name, address and the Social Security number for the previous owner. Please warn your readers to be more careful. – A.C. in New York Yours is a good reminder and a hint to thoroughly check any items you are discarding or donating for important information.

This means pockets, pages, zippered compartments and any other places where important or identifying papers can hide. – Heloise CURTAIN RINGS Dear Heloise: I prefer curtains on rings for ease of movement and because they gather into a narrower space when open. However, it is hard to find inexpensive rings that are large enough.

My solution: metal binder rings from the stationery store. They come in packs of 25, different widths are available, they are easily spray-painted if you don’t like silver, and they can be attached to pocket-style curtains with a few looped stitches.

Count nine for each 54-inch curtain panel. Put one in the middle, which makes it an odd number and

THE FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bil Keane

Hints from Heloise balances the design. They can easily be opened and removed from their stitches and reinserted when it’s time to launder the curtains.

I like breezy, lighter-weight cottons and linens, so I always preshrink them before hanging. They look elegant when the rods are placed near the ceiling, and they fall almost to the floor. – Shari W., Ventura, Calif.

HAIR CATCHER Dear Heloise: I have a golden retriever that I love dearly. She is great when I’m giving her a bath (really enjoys it), but it’s her hair that creates big problems. I have tried everything to keep her hair from going down the drain. I even bought a plastic cover for the drain that was designed to catch hair, but it was awful at letting water drain.

This time, my clever husband took some steel wool and placed it over the drain. It was great at catching all the hair while still letting the water drain quickly.

This will now be a part of our bath-time routine. – Stephanie W. in Pennsylvania

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

MONITORED DOORBELL Dear Heloise: We have moved into a new house and found that we could not hear the doorbell while in the master bedroom in the back area. Rather than having new wiring and a new bell installed, we put a baby monitor near the bell and keep the receiver in the back room. A very inexpensive solution, and of course we can carry the monitor to anyplace we may need to hear better. – James G., via email HANDMADE VASE Dear Heloise: Recently, I wanted to take flowers to a friend in the hospital, but had depleted my stash of giveaway vases. In an “aha” moment, I inverted a paper cup, poked some holes in it with a knitting needle, then wedged it into a larger plas- BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker tic cup (bottom side up).

Cody Crawford pitched 6 1-3 innings of shutout ball and the Panther defense recovered from early miscues to defeat Red Oak 5-1 at Panther Field Monday.

Crawford’s early command of the strike zone had Creston in good shape.

Crawford set down the first eight Tiger batters he faced and went up against just 11 hitters over his first three innings. The junior pitcher struck out four, walked one, and allowed an unearned run.

“I was focused at the beginning, I was focused throughout the whole entire

game,” Crawford said. He added “I felt more focused more than usual for some reason.”

Chase Shiltz retired the last two batters of the game.

Brenden McDowell and Dustin Merritt both turned in outstanding defensive plays.

McDowell dropped a popup at second base that allowed the lone runner who scored to get to first base. A long by Red Oak’s Carlos Guerra assured the Tigers of their lone run after the error. McDowell followed his mistake with a jaw-dropping play in the fifth. Ranging far to his right, McDowell reached a high hopper behind the second base bag and snagged the ball. He wheeled around and in one motion threw a dart to

first baseman Kadon Hulett to end the inning.

“I was thinking as he’s making the play, ‘get to it, get to it’ then I was thinking quick in my head, ‘he’s got to get rid of it now’ and he wheeled and turned and threw it, perfect throw and got him out by a half step,” Creston coach Steve Birchard said.

Along similar lines, Merritt made an error at second base on a batted ball with one out. After the next two Tiger batters singled to load the bases, Merritt took his shot at redemption. With the bases loaded, Merritt snatched a steady bouncer up the middle, tapped second and tossed the ball on to first for an inning-ending

double play.

“Defensively we came through with a couple of big plays in situations,” Birchard said. “Cody was throwing strikes, that gets us going.”

Creston took advantage of consecutive errors by the left side of the Red Oak infield in the first. Crawford reached second after a groundball and an overthrow, then scored when a groundball hit by McDowell was thrown over the first baseman’s head once again. Jaden Driskell then flew out to right to score McDowell. The Panthers scored two runs again in the fifth. Creston also did not have to have an official hit to score a run. A sequence of walks, fielder’s choices and an error allowed Eli Loudon (pinch-running for Crawford) and McDowell to score.

“Really would have liked to see a couple more timely hits,” Birchard said. “We thought we made some hay in that sixth inning to really

expose them a little bit more but we didn’t get that.”

After two straight Hawkeye 10 wins, Creston plays at home again tonight against a Glenwood team it has already defeated 4-0 on May 24. Kadon Hulett pitched in that game and coach Birchard said he will pitch this time around as well.

Junior varsity Creston 5, Red Oak 5 Cretson squeaked a run across in the bottom of the fifth inning on a Luke Latham double but on the same play, and with two outs, Bryce Fitzgerald got tagged out at the plate trying to score the winning run. The game was officially called a 5-5 tie.

“We came into this thinking, ‘Oh we beat them bad last year. It will be an easy one,’” said Josie Sickles.

“They hit the ball hard in the first inning. That right there was a wakeup call.”

Creston’s start left McCabe a bit puzzled.

“We missed a couple of spots,” he said. “That tells me we’ve got to come out a bit looser, have a little better warmup, a little better bullpen. We can’t be out there breaking it in in the first inning.”

Creston finally woke up a bit in the third. Chloe Hagle doubled with one out to start a threat in the third. Josie Sickles singled to leave runners at the corners. Sickles then took second without a throw.

Creston won the first meeting 11-2 in Glenwood.

“They have a good ball club,” McCabe said.

“They’re a rival. You throw out the records whenever you play them.

“We need to play a whole lot better,” McCabe said.

The JV game wasn’t much prettier but the Panthers came away with the sweep in earning a 13-10 win.

The Panthers jumped out to a nine-run lead. Red Oak countered and took the lead in the third and fourth. Mattie Wheeler had a two-run single in the fourth to give

the Panthers the lead for good.

Taylor Buxton was 2-for-2 with a triple and two RBIS. Brielle Baker had a hit and drove in a pair. Morghan Frey, Morgan Shawler and Kiersten Latham each drove in a run.
