Flag Day: Flags blow in the wind in uptown Creston this morning, with the restored Creston Depot shown in the background.

Today is Flag Day, a day that marks the adoption of the American Flag by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777.

Top GOP lawmaker wounded; gunfire at baseball practice WASHINGTON (AP) — A top House Republican, Steve Scalise of Louisiana, was shot and wounded by a rifle-wielding gunm a n Wednes- Scalise day at a congressional baseball practice just outside of Washington. Several other people were also wounded, and at least two were in critical condition.

Capitol Police officers who were in Scalise’s security detail returned fire and wounded the shooter, who was taken into custody. In all, five people were taken to area hospitals, including the suspect, Alexandria police said.

Scalise, 51, the No. 3 House Republican leader first elected to the House in 2008, was in stable condition and undergoing surgery at a nearby hospital.

He was shot in the hip, and his injuries were not life-threatening.

Two other people wounded were in critical condition at the George Washington University Hospital, a spokeswoman said, but the condition of the two others was not immediately known. Texas Rep. Roger Williams, who coaches the GOP team, said a member of his staff was shot and was receiving medical attention.

The gunman had a rifle and “a lot of ammo,” said Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, who was at the practice.

President Donald Trump said he was “deeply saddened by this tragedy”

and was monitoring developments.

The shocking event occurred at a popular park and baseball complex in Alexandria, Virginia, where Republican lawmakers and others were gathered for a morning practice about 7 a.m. They were in good spirits despite the heat and humidity as they prepared for the congressional baseball match that pits Republicans against Democrats. The popular annual face-off was scheduled for Thursday evening at Nationals Park across the

The team was taking batting practice when gunshots rang out and chaos erupted.

Scalise was fielding balls on second base when he was shot, according to lawmakers present, then dragged himself into the outfield to get away from the gunman.

Rep. Mo Brooks, an Alabama Republican, said his colleague “crawled into the outfield, leaving a trail of blood.”

“We started giving him the liquids, I put pressure on his wound in his hip,” Brooks said.

Southwestern Community College (SWCC) saw an increase in enrollment for its first summer session of 4.4 percent, totalling to 526 students taking 2,763 credit hours. That’s 5.6 percent more credit hours than last year’s first summer session.

“I love to stand in front of you and talk about enrollment increases. So today’s a great day,” S W C C Dean of Student Services Beth Kulow said during Tuesday’s Kulow S W C C Board of Directors regular meeting.

But the college isn’t just growing its student population. The board also approved the employment of six new instructors, about whom SWCC Vice President of Instruction Bill Taylor said, “I think we’ve got a tremendous group coming in. A group with good experience and some very good qualifications.”

“We always seem to land on our feet,” Taylor continued. “We hate to see people go, but it seems like we always have some quality applicants. And it’s no different this year.”

“I LOVE to stand in front of you and talk about enrollment increases.

So today’s a great day.”

Southwestern Community College (SWCC) students Rebekah Kroese of Lenox, Selena Sampson of Creston and Ana Vasquez of Osceola, were honored as members of the 2017 All-Iowa Academic Team during a recognition ceremony held 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 1, at the Embassy Suites in Des Moines.

Kroese, a 2016 graduate of Lenox High School, is majoring in psychology. She is a SWCC Education Foundation scholarship recipient, has been on the president’s list and is a member of Phi Theta Kappa. Following her time at SWCC, she plans to transfer to Simpson College in Indianola.

Sampson, a 2016 graduate of Creston High School, is majoring in nursing. She is a 2016 Bright scholar, recorder for SWCC’s Phi Theta Kappa chapter, Creston volunteer firefighter and recipient of the Karen and

Cody Shay ETS scholarship.

Sampson is currently completing SWCC’s licensed practical nursing program and will continue on to SWCC’s registered nursing program. After SWCC, Sampson plans to transfer to University of Iowa to complete her bachelor’s degree in nursing.

Vasquez, a 2013 graduate of Clarke Community High School in Osceola, is majoring in business administration and business leadership.

She received the Osceola Center leadership award, has been named to the president’s list and is a member of Phi Theta Kappa. Upon graduation from SWCC, Vasquez plans to transfer to Buena Vista University.

Phi Theta Kappa serves to recognize and encourage the academic achievement of two-year college students worldwide. Beta Eta Nu is SWCC’s chapter of Phi Theta Kappa.

Lawsuit filed over Iowa’s switch to privately run Medicaid DES MOINES (AP) — A new lawsuit says Iowa’s privately run Medicaid program is violating federal laws and a U.S. Supreme Court decision declaring that disabled Americans have a right to live as independently as possible.

The federal lawsuit filed Tuesday by six Iowans named Gov. Kim Reynolds and the state Human Services Department director. It says the com-

panies running Iowa’s Medicaid program have “engaged in a pattern and practice” of cutting payments to care providers without regard to whether those cuts ultimately will reduce services that people with disabilities rely on.

Reynolds’ spokeswoman Brenna Smith told The Des Moines Register on Tuesday that the governor’s office had not yet reviewed the lawsuit.

“He shot at Steve Scalise, our second baseman. He hit Steve Scalise,” Barton said, “Scalise’s security detail and the Capitol Hill police immediately returned fire, and Alexandria Police also immediately came and began to return fire. They shot the shooter. The security detail saved a lot of lives because they attacked the shooter.”

Barton described the shooter as a “middle aged man. Blue jeans and a blue shirt. I think he was anglo.

He had a rifle and I think he had an automatic pistol, but I wouldn’t swear to it.”

Barton said the shooting lasted 5-10 minutes, and there were dozens if not hundreds of shots fired.

“It was scary,” Barton said.

Lawmakers took cover in the dugout. Barton said his son, Jack, got under an SUV. FBI special agent in charge Tim Slater said it was “too early to say” whether it was an act of terrorism, or whether Scalise was targeted.

Sen. Flake, of Arizona, said he took cover in the dugout as the gunman and law enforcement exchanged fire. In the dugout, he said, he helped treat one aide who, after being shot in the leg near center field, managed to get there.

After the gunfire stopped, Flake ran onto the field and began to apply pressure on Scalise’s wound. After medical personnel arrived, he said he retrieved Scalise’s phone and made the first call to Scalise’s wife to notify her of the shooting. He said he did so to ensure that Mrs. Scalise would not find out about the shooting through the media.

Flake estimated that more than 50 shots were fired.

Scalise, a popular and gregarious lawmaker, is known

In other SWCC news: • The board ratified the collective bargaining agreement between the Southwestern Community College Education Association and its faculty, which included a 2 percent increase in base pay for all faculty.

• The board approved the writing-off of $121,616.41 in uncollectable accounts, an amount that represents 2.1 percent of the college’s tuition and fees. These lost funds are largely from students who were initially awarded financial aid but did not earn some or all of their aid because they stopped attending, or because they were unable to complete a payment plan.

• The board approved the extension of contract and 2 percent increase in salary for Vice President of Instruction Bill Taylor and Assistant Vice President of Instruction Lindsay Stoaks.

The board also approved a Taylor 2 percent increase in salary for SWCC President Dr. Barbara Crittenden.

• The board approved the resignation of Rumy Kabir, information technology systems networking instructor, effective at the end of his current contract. Kabir was employed by SWCC for six years.

• The college’s summer commencement ceremony will be held 7:30 p.m. June 30 in the Student Center Gymnasium. for his love of baseball and handed out commemorative baseball bats to fellow lawmakers when he secured the No. 3 job of House whip several years ago.

Katie Filous was walking her two dogs near the field when she heard “a lot of shots.” She said the shooting “went on for quite a while.”

Filous said she saw the shooter hit a uniformed law enforcement officer, who she said was later evacuated by helicopter. She said the officer had gotten out of a parked car, drawn a handgun and shouted something to the gunman, who then fired.

Rep. Jeff Duncan said in a statement that he was at the practice and said “saw the shooter.”

“Please pray for my colleagues,” Duncan said.

Susan Griffiths, a spokeswoman at the George Washington University Hospital, said two people from the shooting were being treated at the hospital, both in critical condition.

In a brief interview in a Senate hallway, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said, “I think everybody handled it well and McConnell things seem to be under control.”

Other lawmakers were stunned in the aftermath of the event, which raised questions about the security of members of Congress. While the top lawmakers, including Scalise, have security details, others do not and regularly appear in public without protection. The last time a lawmaker was wounded was when Democratic Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona was shot in the head and grievously injured while meeting with constituents at a supermarket parking lot in 2011.

Research has shown that exposure to high levels of noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Neither surgery nor a hearing aid can help correct this type of hearing loss.

Short term exposure to loud noise can also cause a temporary change in hearing (the ears may feel stuffed up) or a ringing in the ears (tinnitus). These short-term problems may go away within a few minutes or hours after leaving the noise. However, repeated exposures to loud noise can lead to permanent tinnitus or hearing loss.

Hearing conservation programs strive to prevent initial occupational hearing loss, preserve and protect remaining hearing and equip workers with the knowledge and hearing-protection devices necessary to safeguard themselves.

“We do a baseline measurement within six months of hire for employees when they come to the hospital.

We have an audiometric sound booth for the testing,” Dalton said. “This is followed up with an annual recheck. I work closely with Dr. Robinson to review abnormal findings or significant changes for the employee.”

The company is required to report to OSHA if there is a significant standard threshold shift. Dalton noted that employee age is factored into the adjustment for the findings.

For those who would like to find out more about the hearing conservation program and occupational health services offered for area employers, contact Dalton at CHI Health Mercy Corning.

CHI Health Mercy expands occupational health services CORNING – Each year an estimated 22 million workers are exposed to potentially damaging noise at work. Last year, U.S. businesses paid more than $1.5 million in penalties for not protecting workers from noise.

While it’s impossible to put a number to the human toll of hearing loss, an estimated $242 million is spent annually on workers’ compensation for hearing loss disability. These statements come from the U.S. Department of Labor.

CHI Health Mercy Corning has expanded its occupational health department to include hearing-conservation testing, which is offered to area industries.

Employers are required to measure noise levels; provide annual hearing exams, hearing protection and training and conduct evaluations of the adequacy of the hearing protectors in use. With the new services, CHI can assist in providing the hearing exams.

Occupational Health Coordinator Paislee Dalton, BSN, RN, at Mercy Corning is a certified occupational hearing conservationist through the Council for Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation.

“I am excited that we are able to support our industries and their employees in creating a safe work environment as required by OSHA,” Dalton said.

The requirements state that employers must implement an effective hearing conservation program when an employee is working in an environment with 85 decibels or more for eight hours in any 24-hour period.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, June 14, 2017

Summer reading curb appeal It’s springtime at the Gibson Memorial Library. We’re adding new materials every day, summer reading signup is underway, our capital campaign committee is hard at work and contractor David Schaefer has done much to improve the facade of Matilda’s castle. And one more thing, it’s now possible for you to renew your library checkouts online.

If you haven’t brought your children by to sign up for summer reading, come on in! Many studies in recent years show the benefits of early childhood literacy, such as success in school, staying out of trouble as teens and higher earning potential later in life. We reward kids with prizes for every 15 minutes of reading, and our children’s librarian, Sue Teutsch, has organized several events for children aged birth to fifth grade. Absolute Science, a visit from the Blank Park Zoo and Bubble Wonders are among them.

This summer’s theme is “Build

a Better World,” and young adults’ librarian, Donna Walsh, has crafted creative activities for kids grades six through 12 that promise fun and fellowship.

Most interesting to me is “Painted Bookends,” which may have Matilda rolling over somewhere in the Philippines, but it’s sure to liven up our decor. I’m also intrigued by “Tiny House Design,” and overall, am very grateful that Sue and Donna have prepared such thoughtful and entertaining events for our young readers.

My favorite recent improvements are the outstanding repairs to Matilda’s exterior by David Schaefer of Lenox. He and his crew repaired trim; replaced broken windows, sills and screens; scraped, caulked and painted

downspouts and window-trim; repainted handrails; filled bird holes and repaired the masonry on our front stoop. I think they did an excellent job, and my perspective on the library has dramatically improved, from inside and out! Come see for yourself, and if you run into David, please congratulate him on behalf of Matilda J. Gibson, as he is quite talented and a thoroughgoing professional at his work.

Our capital campaign committee has also been busy. Our beloved Crestland readers have two major events on the horizon that celebrate our local history. First, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Creston Friends of the Library, the library board of trustees will host a grand gathering of the friends at Gibson Memorial Library on the afternoon of Saturday, Aug. 26. We’ll honor past and present friends’ board members, and yours truly will deliver a brief history of their group. We’ll have refresh-

ments, live music and a special activity for our young friends.

On a mid-September evening to be announced soon, Gibson Memorial Library’s capital campaign committee will partner with Union County Genealogical Society to host a cemetery walk at Graceland Cemetery. We’ve identified gravesites of several historically significant Crestonians, and will enlist several area drama club members in period costumes to reenact their characters as they lie in repose. We’ll begin with a brief history of Graceland Cemetery, and finish the evening with cider and s’mores. Cemetery walks have caught on in many Iowa towns, and it’s time we had our own, which I believe will raise awareness of our local history and broaden the library’s involvement with the community.

In conclusion, I’d like to extend my deepest thanks to Mrs. Jean Ide, who on July 1 will complete her six-year term of service

as a trustee of Gibson Memorial Library. I will always remember Jean was the first person to reach out to me about a career in Creston, and she has been quick to provide support and consultation when I needed it. Jean is a great supporter of our capital campaign, and has played a vital role in shaping the library board’s vision for the future of our public library. If you know Jean, please thank her on behalf of us all, and wish her and Roger well in the years ahead. Truly a Creston and Union County job well done!

P.S. – that one more thing I mentioned: Go to our website at creston.lib.ia.us, and open our library catalog. Click the button on the right side that reads “create account,” and enter your library card number. Then you can create a username and password that will enable you to view and renew your checkouts. As always, our friendly librarians are eager to answer any questions you may have.

Rodman to Korea HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Secretary of Defense James Mattis issued a warning Monday, calling North Korea’s dictator Kim Jung Un a clear and present nuclear danger both to the United States as well as to the world. In response, President Trump just sent a biological weapon to North Korea. It’s called Dennis Rodman.

NBA legend Dennis Rodman landed in North Korea for basketball diplomacy with his pal Kim Jung Un. It’s his first visit in three years. It harkens back to a simpler and more innocent time when Dennis Rodman going to North Korea was the weirdest thing you could imagine in American politics.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions stood his ground in Senate hearings Tuesday probing alleged Russian meddling in the campaign. It’s absurd. By the time Congress is finished investigating, it will be clear that Bill Cosby colluded with the Russians to interfere with the integrity of our erections.

Senate Democrats wanted to know if Jeff Sessions, a Confederate senator, U.S. judge and Eagle Scout Baby Boomer raised in the Cold War, colluded with Russians. Are you kidding me? Next they’re going to see if a leprechaun who rode a unicorn into Brigadoon killed Nicole Brown Simpson.

The White House denied re-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

ports Tuesday that Trump is planning to fire Special Counsel Bob Mueller. The U.S. Congress is going to spend millions in investigations only to find out that Baby Boomers can’t collude with the Russians. That would violate our 40-year deal with the Colombians.

The Golden State Warriors won the NBA title Monday but they said they’ve made no decision on whether they will visit the White House. Here we go again. If Trump doesn’t invite them, they will say it’s because he’s racist, so he must invite them so they can turn him down because he’s racist.

Melania Trump moved into the White House over the weekend after spending five months in New York getting their son through his school year. It wasn’t a moment too soon. Melania could win the Nobel Peace Prize just by giving Trump something better to do at 2 in the morning than Tweet.

President Trump crashed a wedding party at his Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey where he spent the weekend.

He obliged the couple by posing for wedding photos with them.

It seems the bride wanted some-

thing old, something new, something borrowed and something orange.

The Las Vegas Sun reported ambulances were called to the Rio Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip Monday when two convention guests came up with Legionnaire’s Disease. It may have saved their lives. Their wives had warned them that they’d kill them if they came back from Vegas with an STD. Bill Cosby’s defense lawyers rested their case after only six minutes Monday following a week of prosecution witnesses in Philadelphia. Times have changed since Bill’s heyday.

Quaaludes were outlawed 35 years ago so now you have to read women your pilot script to get them to pass out.

Roman Polanski’s underage victim of 40 years ago asked an LA judge to end the case and end his fugitive status. Polanski won a Best Picture Oscar, had sex with a 13-year-old girl and his wife was murdered. Most Hollywood directors would be happy with just one of those three things.

The National Football League online store released statistics showing that Colin Kaepernick’s jersey is among the top selling jerseys in the U.S. The unsigned QB may catch on with a team in the CFL. Canadians don’t kneel during their national anthem unless they drop their bottle opener.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Mashed potato pancakes

HOROSCOPE For Thursday, June 15, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)It’s easy to feel depressed or fall into worry mode today.

Remember: Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but gets you nowhere. This will pass quickly.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)This is a poor day to have important discussions about finances, because you will be shot down. Postpone this kind of discussion for another day when you’re in a better frame of mind.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the Sun is in your sign, opposed

by Saturn. This is not an ideal day for having discussions with partners and close friends, because you feel emotionally isolated.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Do not ask bosses, parents or VIPs for permission or approval today. When at work, just keep your head down and your powder dry.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Children might become a source of increased responsibility today. This is not a good day for social events, because these events will be restrained and lacklustre.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Relationships with older family members are strained today.

In fact, someone might disapprove of you or criticize you.

Don’t take this personally.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might feel cut off from others today. You also might doubt yourself or feel that you are not up to something.

(Relax - this is just a temporary dark cloud on your horizon.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)When you consider your financial scene today, you might be discouraged. Join the club - we number in the millions. This feeling will pass.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Relationships with others are strained and discouraging today. Do not take this personally, because many people feel the same way today. It’s just in the stars.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Do not attempt anything flashy at work today - and definitely do not ask for permission or approval from a boss.

His or her answer will be “talk to the hand.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Romance might be in the toilet today - it just is what it is. This really is a discouraging day. Don’t take it seriously.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Relationships with bosses and parents will be strained today, because people’s feelings are at stake. Because their glasses are half-empty, they see only the reasons why things cannot be done.

YOU BORN TODAY You are a gifted, talented communicator. Your friends are important to you. Because this is a year of growth, construction and building, it is a time to organize your daily world in a

practical way. Responsibilities will increase, magnifying the effort needed to maintain your life. Reduce your debt and strengthen your financial position, because you are building for your future!

Monetary donations also are welcome. No one in this country should have to go hungry. – Lucinda H. in San Antonio 2 BILLION CHERRIES Dear Readers: Utah produces approximately 2 billion cherries per year, making it the official state fruit. After World War II, the Japanese sent cherry trees to Utah as a token of friendship.

Bigger is better for Spencer Brown Former Lenox end converted to offensive tackle at UNI n

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

CEDAR FALLS — Spencer Brown is growing into his new role on the University of Northern Iowa football team.

Literally.

The former Lenox allstate football and basketball player’s summer job is to put on weight. About 30 pounds, to be precise.

In fact, the summer landscaping job he started when classes concluded got in the way of that quest, so he stopped.

“Coach (Mark Farley) made me quit that job,” Brown said. “I lost too much weight. I worked two weeks outside in the heat and lost 12 pounds. One day our trainer said to me, ‘You’re in trouble.’ I was down to 263 pounds.”

Coming to Northern Iowa on scholarship was not only an adjustment in terms of learning the 11-man game after starring as a tight end and defensive end in EightMan football, but in recent months he’s also undergone

a position change.

Brown was brought in as a tight end recruit at 6-foot-8 and 230 pounds. He was redshirted last year as a freshman, and unable to practice until midway through September as he was coming off surgery for a torn meniscus in his knee in April 2016.

But, it wasn’t long before he was adding “good weight” through UNI’s strength program. Coaches saw his 6-8 frame, his speed for a player that size, and envisioned the possibilities of someone like that working in the trenches.

“During conditioning in December I was at about 250 and I was called into coach Farley’s office,” Brown related. “He said I’d put on 20 pounds since I’ve been here for three months and I don’t look fat. He said, ‘You can still move. We’ll probably move you to (offensive) tackle.’ Why try to be something I’m not? As long as it gives me a chance to play, I’m all for it.”

Brown got up to 275 pounds, but then dropped below 265 for awhile during his landscaping job.

Through a lot of high-calorie food intake and one or two lifting sessions per day, he’s looking to get to 290 or BROWN | 7A

Spencer Brown frequently had the ball in his hands during his Lenox career as a tight end and defensive end. Now, the University of Northern Iowa redshirt freshman is working as an offensive right tackle for the Panthers.

Walk-off hit sinks Panthers, 7-6 Creston overtaken late

By LARRY PETERSON the throw got away from the a good ballgame. We had CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

GLENWOOD — Cole Loeffelbein stroked a single up the middle for a walk-off two-run single with two outs in the bottom of the seventh to give Glenwood a 7-6 baseball victory over Creston Tuesday night.

The Panthers fought back twice from deficits after Ram sophomore Cade Van Ness hit a pair of tworun homers in the second and fourth innings. Creston had a 5-4 lead through five innings but the Rams tied it 5-5 in the bottom of the sixth.

Then it was Creston’s turn to move back in front in the top of the seventh. Brenden McDowell, who had three hits on the night for the Panthers, singled up the middle and moved all the way to third on a sacrifice bunt by Cody Crawford as the Rams failed to cover third base on the play.

A called third strike on Jaden Driskell was dropped

by Van Ness, the Ram catcher, who momentarily lost the location of the ball underneath him. Van Ness made a late throw to first and McDowell scooted home as

first baseman.

A force out at third ended the rally as Driskell went to the mound for his seventh inning of work with a 6-5 lead. He quickly induced two outs on a popout and strikeout.

But, the third out proved to be elusive for the Panthers. Track star Mavrick Decker beat out a slow bouncer to the left side. As a late throw was mishandled at first, Decker bolted to second base. Ethan Fisher was intentionally walked to set up force outs and bring up Loeffelbein, who was 0-for-3 with three popups to that point.

This time, Loeffelbein stroked a low pitch back up the middle. Decker scored and Fisher headed for home.

The throw from center fielder Michael Scherer was just a little high for catcher Beau Barncastle, who reached down to tag Fisher’s back just as he was touching the plate with the winning run.

“It was a good ballgame and we did a lot of things well,” Creston coach Steve Birchard said. “We battled back twice from those tworun homers to get a lead.

We did some nice things defensively and Jaden pitched

Kadon (Hulett) ready but I really thought we could get that last out in that situation with Jaden out there. It was one of those things where the decision didn’t work out.”

Besides McDowell’s three hits, Crawford provided three RBIs including a two-run triple in the fourth inning.

Driskell knocked in two runs.

G l e n - Crawford w o o d , which also took a 6-2 victory over Creston to open the conference season on May 23, improved to 7-5 overall and 5-3 in the Hawkeye 10 going into Thursday’s varsity doubleheader against Class 3A No. 1-ranked Harlan.

UP NEXT — Creston (5-9, 3-6 league) hosts Denison-Schleswig in a varsity doubleheader Thursday starting at 5:30 p.m. Denison-Schleswig fell to 6-9 and 2-6 after losing 8-7 to Atlantic Tuesday in eight innings.

GLENWOOD — The Creston softball team jumped ahead of Glenwood on the road Tuesday with a two-run first inning and bested their opponent for most of Tuesday’s Hawkeye 10 conference battle.

It was Glenwood who upped the pressure on Creston with a run in the third, three in the fifth and two in the sixth on its way to a 6-2 victory.

The big hit was a Brooklyn Taylor single that scored two runs in the fifth.

That proved to be the decisive run, as Glenwood went up 3-2.

The Creston defense totalled four errors over the fifth and sixth innings.

“We just have that inning where we make a couple mistakes and right now teams are taking advantage,” Creston coach Mike McCabe said.

Lexie Little singled to start the game and came around to score when Chloe Hagle’s sacrifice bunt attempt was thrown down the right field line.

Hagle scored on a Kylee LaMasters groundout.

After the two-run first inning, Glenwood hurler Sydney Bermann picked up her game. She struck out seven Panthers and allowed just five hits.

“She kind of beared down on us a little bit after we jumped on her early,” McCabe said.

Saige Rice, Cayla Maiten and Mattie Wheeler each had singles.

LaMasters pitched a complete game, struck out six, walked three, allowed three hits and only two of her runs allowed were earned.

“Kylee really pitched well,” McCabe said. “Really a good hitting ball club.

She was in a groove. Hitting spots. Wasn’t anything easy (to hit).”

Creston’s junior varsity fell to Glenwood 9-5.

Rachel Boyer and Samantha Dunphy combined for two strikeouts and five walks in the pitching effort.

Rachel Boyer 0K 1BB, Samantha Dunphy 2K 4BB Sara Keeler and MaKenna Hudson each singled for the Panthers and Keeler and Samantha Dunphy each drove in a run.

The squad is now 3-4.

UP NEXT — Creston (4-15, 2-9) will host Denison-Schleswig (18-2, 9-1).

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, June 14, 2017

Union County 4-H well represented at state Six 4-H’ers were selected to represent Union County at the state level. Macy Evans, daughter of Rob and April Evans, was selected for the leadership project award.

Taylor Sorrells, daughter of Jeff and Diane Sorrells, was selected for the State 4-H Council and the horse project award. Lauren Hadley, daughter of Dean and Sara Hadley, and Rakenzy Pryor, daughter of Zack and Dana Pryor, were selected for the State 4-H Council. Dalten Bierle, son of Doug and Nichole Bierle, was selected for the sheep project award.

Lauren Mitchell, daughter of Jamie and Stacey Mitchell, was selected for the National 4-H Congress.  4-H’ers across Iowa participated in the state 4-H recognition application and interview process with 154 completing nearly 250 interviews held on the Iowa State University campus. The state recognition categories ninththrough 12th-grade 4-H’ers can apply for are National 4-H Conference, National 4-H Congress, 4-H Shooting Sports Ambassadors, 4-H State Council and project awards. “To have Union County represented in three of these

five categories is outstanding, and there is no doubt that our 4-H program has some strong leaders and role models in the works,� said Haley Jones, Union County youth and outreach coordinator. “It has been fun to watch these 4-H’ers participate in the many areas as well as take on those leadership roles both locally and, now, at the state and national levels.�

The State 4-H Council is a group of 40 high schoolers who work directly with Iowa Youth Development staff across the state. They speak to local 4-H groups, represent ideas to staff and work in committees to plan the Iowa Youth Conference, 4-H Campaign and 4-H promotional ideas. Evans and Allison Hadley currently serve on the State Council with Evans as co-chair of the conference planning committee. Lauren Hadley, Pryor and Sorrells will be filling their shoes as they take on their first year of serving on state council. 4-H’ers who have focused on specific project areas can apply for recognition for their efforts which are demonstrated through their leadership, mastery, communication and service in their project. Bierle received a sheep project

award, Evans received a leadership project award and Sorrells received a horse project award. “I have always enjoyed leading various events, activities and groups,� Evans said. “I love interacting with people and watching them complete an activity or task.

I am thankful to receive recognition within leadership as I believe being called a leader is the highest title one can achieve, and a title that comes with a lot of responsibility as you are viewed as a role model.�

Twenty Iowa 4-H youth will be attending the National 4-H Congress held over the Thanksgiving holiday each year in Atlanta, Georgia.

The event includes dynamic keynote speakers, community service in the Atlanta area, workshops on leadership, cultural issues and team-building. Delegates will also get a chance to tour the city. Mitchell will be representing Union County in the fall during the National 4-H Congress. “I’m looking forward to traveling to Atlanta for National Congress,� Mitchell said. “I’m excited to meet 4-H’ers from other states and learn about the differ-

ent projects and community service activities that they do throughout their years in 4-H. I am looking forward to learning new leadership skills to bring back to my own county to strengthen my own 4-H program.�

Union County has a history of 4-H recognition at the state level dating back to 1934. State 4-H Council was represented by Evelyn Aylesworth, 1934-35; Jack Miller, 1949-50; Mike Moffitt, 1974-76; David Cheers, 1984-85; Kim Damiani, 198587; Larkin Powell, 1985-86; Emily Forquer, 1989-90; Loretta Harvey, 1990-92; Matt Moberg, 1992-94; Marcie Vaughn, 1993-94; Amber Kelley, 1994-95; John Dostart, 1995-96; Amy Miller, 1996-97; Brett Moffitt, 200102; Macy Evans, 2015-17; and Allison Hadley, 2016-17.

State project awards since 1999 were Donovan Richardson, 2008 - food and nutrition; Kilee Kralik, 2009 - leadership; Gracie Russell, 2016 - beef; Macy Evans, 2016 beef; and Selena Sampson, 2016 - rabbit.

National 4-H Congress since 1999 included Maddie Moffitt in 2004 and Allison Hadley in 2016.
