Creston Fire attends post-active shooter training

By BAILEY POOLMAN CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Not for the first time, news about gun violence and shootings are plastered across television sets and computer screens in attempts to get the word out. The most recent incident in Orlando, Florida, is another example of this.

In an attempt to stay relevant, Creston Fire Department participated alongside three other organizations to learn what to do after an incident occurs in order to help those involved. This three-day class was held by Government Training Institute (GTI), an organization based out of South Carolina and focused on training law enforcement, military personnel and other first responders how to react during certain situations.

The class was held at Southwestern Community College from Tuesday to today through a Homeland Security

“Everything that they learn in this class can carry over to other responses, like how to build a response team, how to set up their priorities so that not only are they safe, but also the people that are helping them,” said Jo Duckworth, Union County Emergency Management Agency director. “It just helps with overall being prepared and being a professional.”

“Unfortunately, active shooter incidents now can occur anywhere. We talked about this in class: we are not immune to them,” said Oscar TRAINING | 2A CNA photo by BAILEY POOLMAN

Clarke County Sheriff’s Deputy Brian Akers stands at attention to protect victims and first responders inside a residence hall room during a post-active shooter training held Tuesday through today at Southwestern Community College in Creston. Creston and Red Oak fire departments and Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office also attended the training held by Government Training Institute, an organization that holds a variety of tactical trainings across the country.

Dem senator wages filibuster, Estimated claims progress on gun control $700K project WASHINGTON (AP) — A Democratic senator who mourned the loss of 20 children in his home state waged a roughly 15-hour filibuster into early Thursday, asserting as he yielded the floor that Republican leaders had committed to hold votes on expanded gun background checks and a ban on gun sales to suspected terrorists.

With a compromise on the gun issue still improbable, Sen. Chris Murphy stood on

the Senate floor for most of Wednesday and into Thursday. Speaking in the wake of the mass shooting early Sunday at a Florida nightclub, Murphy said he would remain there “until we get some signal, some sign that we can come together.” He concluded the filibuster at 2:11 a.m.

EDT Thursday.

Although Murphy, D-Conn., talked optimistically about his cause, it is unlikely the amendments Demo-

crats are seeking will pass the Republican-run Senate.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., dismissed the Democrats’ “campaign talka-thon” and urged lawmakers to back legislation favored by the National Rifle Association that would let the government delay firearms sales to suspected terrorists for up to 72 hours.

Prosecutors would have to persuade a judge to block the transaction permanent-

ly, a bar that Democrats and gun control activists say is too high.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said nothing will change as long as “Republicans continue to take their orders” from the NRA. Murphy spent much of the time speaking about the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012.

A new construction project is in the works for Southwestern Community College (SWCC), Vice President of Economic Development Tom Lesan said during a board meeting Tuesday.

This project is a result of recent renovations in the 200-bay hallway of the instructional building, during which asbestos was found in the ceiling material, causing SWCC to bring in a company to abate and then clean the whole area affected: the 200bay hallway and the northeast commons.

The new project, estimated not to exceed $700,000, is to get room 220 of the instructional building, a 250seat auditorium, back to usable condition, which involves replacing the heating,

ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) units.

“As you remember, we had to take the ceiling out to abate the asbestos which gave us another problem because, once we took out all of that material, we couldn’t get out to service the HVAC units anymore in that area – the northeast commons and the LRC (Learning Resource Center),” Lesan said.

“So, the Lesan problem just kept getting bigger.”

The work will include putting in a new ceiling in room 220 and taking out the current set of nine HVAC units and replacing them with five new, more energy-efficient SWCC | 2A

HVAC units.

“There’s no ceiling whatsoever. So, there’s a lot of work to be done,” Lesan said.

“But, if we can get rid of the nine older units, the original units, and replace them with only five, obviously we’re going to save in energy costs.”

The plan is to suspend the new HVAC units from the ceiling and have a walkway to be able to service the units.

“We’ve gotten away from the Band-Aid fix – we’ve been putting new motors in those old units and changing filters hoping that they lasted and then having no way to get to them if they broke down,” Lesan said. “This is going to take care of that, and the room will be hopefully usable for a long time to come.”

The work in room 220 will not affect instruction, said Bill Taylor, SWCC vice president of instruction.

“The room was out of commission all last year,” Taylor said. “We don’t use it for any normal classrooms; we do use it for when we have speakers come in for students.

But, we’ve been using Taylor the Allied Health auditorium, and it’s

been working just fine for us.”

Bids will open July 11, and the work is projected to be complete by Sept. 27.

“They’re telling me $700,000. I think they’re being a little conservative on that estimate. I’m really expecting it to be less than that,” Lesan said. “The good news is it is the path we want to take; it’s just the projection of cost is a little high at this point in time.”

A public hearing for the project is scheduled 5:30 p.m.

July 12 in the SWCC administration building board room.

Spartan Drive The current construction project going on at SWCC is the replacement of concrete on Spartan Drive, and Lesan said the workers may be finished before the original completion date.

“We are being encouraged

by EMS and law enforcement to have this project 100 percent completed by the time RAGBRAI rolls around,” Lesan said.

Crain Construction in Clarinda is doing the work, and Lesan said its employees plan to have concrete poured on the south end of the roadway within a week.

“They’re a good 10 days ahead of schedule, so if we don’t get a real wet spell, they actually think they can be done (sooner),” he said.

“They think if we don’t get a lot of rain, they’ll be gone by the time RAGBRAI comes through.”

Today is June 16, the 168th day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 198 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (June 13-19) in history:

10 years ago Southwestern Community College (SWCC) President Barb Crittenden announced two new buildings at SWCC neared completion. A new dormitory and nursing center were to be finished and opened for use in the fall. The new dorm would increase housing for students from 66 to 116, and the nursing center would be able to accept 20 more LPN students, up from 70 in the previous years.

Kyle Bochart was presented with what was called the Creston High School fine arts triple crown: Arion Award, best thespian and senior vocalist awards. All three awards are selected by the student’s peers. Bochart said it was a really big honor and he was really surprised. His plans after graduation were to attend Simpson College to major in education and theatre.

Gabe Carroll made a holein-one using a 7-iron on the par-3, 100-yard fifth hole at Pine Valley. The shot was witnessed by Matt Scherer.

Creston High School student council representatives asked the Creston City Council to allow students to congregate in the city parking lot north of First National Bank and behind Wolfe’s Jewelry and Coens Furniture. Abby Conover told the council “it would be made clear that the use of this lot is a privilege, and good conduct would be needed to keep it for future years.”

Construction was completed laying the concrete paving on High and Dry Road and was to begin paving the old County “C” road in Lincoln and Dodge townships. The 4 1/2 mile pavement had to cure for 14 days before it could be opened to traffic, according to Robert Sapp, county engineer.

The Orient service station, operated by Wyman Zellweger, was broken into. Between $35 and $45 was taken from the cash register. The station was entered by breaking a window at the rear of the building and Adair County authorities investigated.

About 450 children registered for swimming lessons at the Creston Municipal Pool.

Red Cross instructors had to review the schedule to add more classes for beginners.

and cleanup and maintenance of the lot was to be the responsibility of the students.

The Creston City Council unanimously approved the recommendation by Mayor Larry Wynn to appoint Roger Nurnberg as Creston fire chief, succeeding Melford Johnston. Nurnberg had the goal of becoming fire chief since taking the Civil Service Board exam in 1965 at age 22.

50 years ago Dr. Larry Hicks had to close his optometry practice in Creston, as he was drafted with a commission as a first lieutenant in the Army medical corps. Hicks had practiced in Creston for about three years. He was a graduate of both Creston High School and Creston Community College.

Lizardi, Santa Ana, California, police officer and GTI instructor. “Whether you work in a small town or a large agency like Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, they will occur, they can occur, and the expectation for police and fire is the same.

Therefore, they should be trained up to the same level as any large-scale agency.”

Creston and Red Oak fire departments and Clarke County and Montgomery County sheriff’s offices attended the class, which was a post-active shooter training course.

The course focused on what happens after a suspect in a mass casualty event has been contained, and how local law enforcement, fire departments and emergency medical personnel (EMS) can work together to make a chaotic situation less chaotic and save human lives.

“The next priority for law enforcement and first responders is to immediately address the wounded,” Lizardi said.

“We work pretty hard on unified command,” said Creston Fire Chief Todd Jackson.

“While it wasn’t with our own police department, we’re working unified command with law enforcement. That’s been an opportunity for both sides because we haven’t had a chance to work with other agencies in the past. So, that’s been good.”

Jackson, who initially wasn’t planning on attending, decided to after learning about low numbers in the class. Since that first day, one thing he’s taken away from it is how incidents don’t necessarily have to be mass casualty.

“Even the everyday, run-ofthe-mill boyfriend-girlfriend fight and a gun is broken out and shot, those are potential problems in our community and so, to be able to coordinate with law enforcement and go in and provide immediate treatment and get those victims out of there to give them a chance of survival, it means life and death,” Jackson said.

TRAINING:

ment to train our personnel to go and be that initial officer or deputy as a contact team going to that threat, but once the threat has been eliminated or contained, there’s a huge gap in the relationship between fire and law enforcement. So, we find ourselves kind of chasing our tails in the sense of, what is our next priority?”

Firefighters and EMS won’t get close to an incident until law enforcement has cleared it of the threat. However, mass casualty incidents at the national level can take between eight and 10 hours to safely clear, well over the time wounded victims can wait.

Essentially, first responders who are properly trained can quickly go in with a team of armed law enforcement to care for those injured victims.

The training, which had fake live victims, allowed both law enforcement and first responders to practice what their roles would be during any mass casualty event, such as a school shooting or tornado.

Though, the most difficult part, Lizardi said, was making sure all agencies responding to an incident communicate properly.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, June 16, 2016

Be joyous and understanding Yesterday, I attended a post-active shooter training for a news story. The training, held at Southwestern Community College, covered the initial entrance of firefighters and EMS during a mass casualty incident, safely covered by law enforcement.

One of the instructors said during a brief interview that incidents like this can now occur anywhere.

I immediately thought of what happened in Orlando, Florida, when a man shot and killed so many people at a nightclub there.

Yes, the nightclub was for gay people, and I realize there are many who disagree with that lifestyle. Yes, I understand there are people who want to ban guns, just as there are those who believe everyone should have the right to carry.

In the end, though, it’s not about any of that.

It’s not about protecting the Second Amendment, or banning assault rifles from civilian use. It isn’t about one political party beating down on another because people

Girl on fire Bailey Poolman staff writer

died. It’s not about the shooter’s Islamic religion. And, it’s definitely not about a certain group of people deserving to die.

It’s basically about love.

When we promote love, it gives us something to feed off of. There’s this positive energy surrounding us

and those around us so that we can be faithful, spiritual or just joyous in our own way.

The issue, I believe, is that we don’t promote helping and loving each other enough in this world. In the past, even Iowans have started noticing how much mental health institutions are necessary to those who don’t have anywhere else to go.

It’s also about raising our children, those next generations, to understand how to care for those around them, how discrimination

should be frowned upon and made extinct.

I suppose, in the end, it’s all a matter of perspective. I can say this till I’m blue in the face, that we need to learn to love those around us and make everyone’s lives a positive experience, but those who don’t agree with me will just look at things completely differently. And, that’s OK too. I’m not saying I’m in the right for everyone, but I truly hope others can perceive what I have to say and understand I’m working for the good in our world.

If the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Santa Monica hosted a multi-cultural street fair to try to promote peace between religions and cultures last weekend. A Muslim street vendor had the entire Koran downloaded onto one DVD. Impressed, an Iowa tourist asked the guy if he’d burn him a copy, and that’s when the trouble started.

The Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas came down Monday night with a spectacular implosion of the hotel’s Monaco Tower. The 24-story tower stood over the Strip for 60 years.

Three of the other vintage hotels are scheduled for implosion just as soon as al-Qaeda can get a free weekend.

President Obama defended Obama

how he describes terrorism Tuesday, saying if he says radical Islam it will put an entire religion under criminal suspicion in the eyes of Americans. It was a stirring defense. He concluded by reminding the American people that if the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit.

House Democrats walked out on a moment of silence for the Orlando victims because House Republicans refuse to consider a gun ban and insist on tightening immigration, which Democrats oppose.

Congress’s approval rating is nine percent. To put that in perspective, Cosby’s at 10 percent.

Variety reports that Larry David will bring back his popular comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm to HBO this fall. Larry is returning to do the weekly series after a five-year absence. It was the first sign that Bernie Sanders is conceding the Democratic nomination to Hillary

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Clinton once and for all.

Hillary Clinton in an interview vowed to protect America’s cyber-security on Tuesday. She’s under criminal probe for mishandling classified data on her private server. She couldn’t have given Donald Trump a nicer birthday present if she popped out of a cake shaped like an indictment.

Russian government hackers broke into the Democratic Party’s computer and saw all the DNC opposition research on Trump. They saw every nasty, salacious, and crooked deal he’s ever done. The Russians could have saved a lot of money by just buying a subscription to the Romney Newsletter.

Great Britain held a Trooping of

the Colours parade in London honoring Queen Elizabeth on her 90th birthday. It was cheered all over the English-settled world. If the British had never come to America, we’d all be speaking Spanish, as opposed to just half the country speaking Spanish.

Broadway handed 11 Tony Awards to Hamilton, about America’s pre-eminent constitutional framer. At the Constitutional Convention he almost succeeded in making the presidency a lifetime post contingent on good moral behavior. Today we’d be in the 55th year of President Pat Boone.

NBC News reports Homeland Security officials were red-faced after a test of airport screeners last week when the screeners missed 67 out of 70 fake bombs going through their security station. That’s the bad news.

The good news is that they were able to spot all 200 fake boobs.

California last week became the

fifth state to enact a Right-to-Die law which allows terminally ill patients the right to end their own lives.

If you’ve chosen to die, the method of death is very quick and sudden.

You really anger a celebrity, who has the right to kill you in the state of California.

NASCAR driver Duane Suarez made history, becoming the first Mexican to win a NASCAR race on Sunday in Michigan Speedway.

He’s a pioneer. Until now 20 million Mexicans have crossed the finish line successfully but Duane was the first one in the driver’s seat and not in the trunk of the car.

A British Court found a couple guilty of engaging in slavery for overworking and underpaying six Lithuanians to catch chickens on free-range chicken farms. It’s a case of do-gooding gone wrong.

Animal rights activists didn’t want chickens in cages and now they’ve got chicken catchers in slavery.

More than ‘just a job’ Passion, enthusiasm, love for what you do. If you have ever attended a leadership seminar or heard a motivational speaker, you are familiar with these attributes, and I sincerely believe them to be much more than empty platitudes. With a relentless stream of tasks and challenges in our lives, however, the importance a positive attitude can seem cliché and the temptation to muddle through in mediocrity can be overpowering.

Summer is the busiest time of the year for our library staff, and with hundreds of additional children, teens and adults participating in reading programs, we still proudly serve our loyal patrons, catalog new materials, pay bills, prepare reports and do the small but essential things that make our library a viable, welcoming and comfortable place.

mundane tasks have not recharged my passion for public service. I have yet to meet anyone who likes paperwork, and while I do enjoy the exchange of pleasantries that accompany circulation transactions, my greatest joy is the sense that we regularly help our patrons accomplish vital missions in their personal and professional lives.

That gets me fired up about what I do at work, and in turn, makes me feel better about myself as a husband, a new father and as a member of the community.

If there is one thing I have learned about public service, it is this: no matter what you may be

in the middle of, and regardless of how important it is, when a patron enters our door he or she rightfully expects to have your full attention.

If you give them anything less, they know it, and are less than satisfied with your service. That holds true for everyone who walks in the door regardless of their age, income or experience.

While we are committed to serving all our patrons to the best of our ability, I just cannot escape the added gratification that comes from helping our staff deliver what I believe are our most vital public services. Every day we help folks build their resumés, apply for jobs, restore their driving privileges, file legal documents and perform other tasks that require access to information and the internet - Information connectivity.

Some folks are not comfortable

using computers, and we all know how frustrating web-based applications can be, but they are nonetheless vital for our social and economic mobility. Computers are powerful vehicles for improving the quality of our lives but frequently we all simply need help to accomplish our goals in the digital world.

No one will ever accuse me of being a computer whiz. I do, however, have some practice with printing and troubleshooting other digital tasks, and my greatest joy is to share that experience in a way that helps someone apply for a job, file a document, prepare a report for their church or civic group or print their cherished family photos.

That gets me fired up.

Digital services that require connectivity are arguably our most important public services, and they transform our library from a brick-

and-mortar facility with books and movies to a hub of information connectivity, putting our patrons in touch with the world around them.

Whether it’s electronic filing, document delivery, printing a web-based document or helping a student make sense of their internet search results so they can finish their homework assignment – this is what I love about public service at the library.

So while it may seem cliché to the cynics among us (and I struggle at times not to be one myself), public service at the library is more than just a job. It is more than just workforce development, financial literacy, cultural enrichment or a dozen other fancy phrases that describe what we do. As your library director, my greatest joy is helping people be happier and more successful, and my greatest hope is that as a library staff, that is our highest priority.

The theme this year is “Expedition Everest –

One Ephesians 4:4-6 says, “There is one body, and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”

As the Bible says, the Lord only has one body, which is His one church (Ephesians 1:22-23). None of the counterfeit denominations belong to the Lord.

There is only one Holy Spirit, which inspired the writers of the New Testament to give us God’s word. There is only one hope of our calling and that is our No. 1 priority in this life to go to Heaven. Nothing else is as important. But only those who do the will of God will go to Heaven (Matthew 7:21). Those who do the will of men will be eternally lost.

We only have one Lord.

I say?” (Luke 6:46). If Jesus is our Lord, we will obey Him in everything.

There is only one faith and not many as people talk about today. There is only one baptism that the Lord accepts, and that is a burial in water (Romans 6:4) for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38) so we can be saved (Mark 16:16). Most denominations laugh at the Lord’s requirement for baptism to be for the remission of sins and to be saved. But, they will not laugh on the day of judgment. The one baptism the Lord accepts is not a baptism for the purpose of an initiation into a denominational church. One who is baptized into a denomination just got wet.

There is one God. If we want to go to Heaven when this short life here on earth is over, we are to “fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:13). ~ By Ron Boatwright vice and Sunday School.

Spring-cleaning memories Dear Readers: Recently, I asked you for your stories about how SPRING-CLEANING has been done in your family through the generations, and wow, did you respond! Here are just a few of them: “Dear Heloise: Your remarks in the Dayton (Ohio) Daily News about spring-cleaning bring back memories. My favorite chore was using wallpaper cleaner to clean the soot off the walls. With a coal furnace, by spring there was always a fine layer of soot, and it was fun to see the clean area after using the cleaner and know that you really made a difference in removing the dirt.” – Carolyn N., Huber Heights, Ohio “Dear Heloise: In the rural area where I grew up, we used wood, coal and corn cobs in a stove for heat, which left the room covered with a sooty film. So spring-cleaning consisted of washing all the walls, ceilings and windows, along with washing and starching the curtains.

Oh, the smell of the freshly laundered curtains hung out on the line in the fresh air to dry, and the newly washed walls!” – Connie S., Wahoo, Neb. “Dear Heloise: A warm, sunny day (or three) is a must!

“1. Wash all my curtains and bedding. Hang on my clothesline for that wonderful fresh scent.

“2. Wash the blinds.

Hang outside.

Hints from Heloise “3. Clean baseboards and windowsills.

“4. Shampoo area rugs by hand, and air-dry outside.

“5. Switch winter and summer clothes.

“6. Wash windows inside and outside.”

– Evelyn C., Conway, Ark. “Dear Heloise: Getting older and being unable to do spring-cleaning like I used to, I now spring-clean one room per month. That is, I wash the woodwork, windows, curtains, touch up the paint, clean out shelves, closets, etc. This way, every room gets a deep cleaning twice a year, and I am not overwhelmed.” – Carol V. in Ohio Everyone’s hints are wonderful! Way to get the job done! Do you need some assistance with low-cost but effective and environmentally friendly cleaners, sanitizers and deodorizers to combat stinks and stains? I’ve compiled a collection of my BEST cleaning solutions in a handy pamphlet.

If you’d like to receive one to help you along the way, send a long, self-addressed, stamped (68 cents) envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/ Cleaners, P.O. Box

– Heloise P.S.: Here’s one more spring-cleaning hint, but with a twist: “Dear Heloise: My husband was an Air Force officer, and we moved often with our three children: one son and two daughters. When the first daughter was grown and married, she came to me one day and asked, ‘Mom, what is spring-cleaning?’

“I explained, as you did, that it meant to deep-clean the house. She replied, ‘You never did that!’ My answer was, ‘No, we just moved!’” – Patricia S., via email THE EYES HAVE IT Dear Heloise: Since eyebrow pencils wear down in no time, I have a solution for how to use them down to an inch.

Take one or two tops and add them to the end of the pencil, and you have a long pencil again. Works great! – C.B., Hershey, Pa. Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com.

New leader for Panthers girls basketball

McKim moves into top role n Takes over as Creston head girls basketball coach

BY RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Basketball has always been a big deal for Creston native Ryan McKim. He has played the sport, been around it. His sister Katie McKim was at one time the program’s all-time leading scorer until Jenna Taylor passed her this season.

McKim, a 2004 graduate of Creston and 2008 graduate of Iowa State University, moves up to the top spot, replacing Brent Douma, who recently left to take the head job at Sioux City North.

“It’s been a big deal to my

family,” McKim said. “It’s something that’s important to me.”

McKim sees it as a privilege being able to coach in his hometown, and particularly the group of girls athletes coming through Creston.

“The biggest thing is working with the kids I get to work with on a daily basis,” McKim said. “We have some outstanding girls in our program, some outstanding girls coming up. It is a lot of fun. It’s a privilege to work with them.”

McKim admitted he’s ready to embrace the challenge of taking over a Panthers program coming off a 13-9 season. photo by LARRY PETERSON “I’ve always enjoyed New Creston High School girls basketball coach Ryan McKimCNA speaks to participants in coaching kids, seeing kids the Creston Girls Basketball Camp Wednesday in the CHS gym.

PERSISTENT PATIENCE n

Panther shortstop among athletes who’ve battled multiple injuries

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

Brody Frain is probably the best team scorekeeper in the Hawkeye 10 Conference, according to Creston baseball coach Steve Birchard.

After Friday night’s game, Frain and 15 teammates boarded a bus to join the football team in Maryville, Missouri, for a weekend team camp hosted by Northwest Missouri State. Not even 12 hours after the end of that home baseball game, Frain would find himself sitting and watching his classmates again as they conducted football drills.

But Frain, a strapping 6-foot-4, 180-pound junior, wants to be an athlete and not an observer.

He’s had a difficult time staying on the field. By mid-July, the younger sibling of past CHS standouts Madison and Trevor Frain hopes to start making his own mark as a senior Panther with a clean bill of health.

“It’s been kind of a huge impact, considering I’m finally growing up and I haven’t been able to prove what I can do,” Frain said Monday, sitting in the dugout as his teammates went through a pregame infield workout.

The former 106-pound freshman wrestler for the team coached by his father, Darrell, had a big growth spurt during and after his sophomore year. He seemed poised for a big junior football season.

Elbow surgery Then, toward the end of camp last August, with one play left during the team portion, Frain tried to make a simple throw on an out route. His right elbow exploded.

CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON

Junior Brody Frain keeps the Creston High School baseball scorebook in the Panther dugout during a recent home game. Frain is out four to six weeks with a broken leg suffered in a June 2 game against Harlan.

“Where the (UCL) ligament attaches to the bone, instead of tearing the ligament, it ripped the one off,” said Creston High School athletic trainer Chris Leonard. “It’s called an avulsion.

A fragment of the bone tears away from the main mass of the bone.”

After surgery, Frain’s arm was in a splint for 10 weeks, in a sling for two more weeks and braced for two addition-

al weeks as he finally was cleared to play in the final two regular-season games and the two playoff games at defensive safety. He was not cleared to attempt any passes.

Frain sailed through the wrestling and track seasons unscathed, seemingly with injury frustrations behind him.

“He got comfortable in track at the end there, with his times starting to drop. In baseball things started off OK and he felt good about what he was doing athletically,” Darrell Frain said.

Broken leg Then came the freakish injury in the third inning of the June 2 home doubleheader against Harlan. Frain, as the Panther shortstop, reached high for a throw as a Harlan player was stealing second base.

“I caught it in front of the bag and the guy slid into my leg as I was putting the tag on,” Frain said. “I just thought I had rolled it bad.”

Frain went back out and played the next inning in the field, but he was masking extreme pain and lack of mobility.

“Thank God no balls came to me,” he said. “Then it kept getting worse and I told coach I can’t walk. So he took me out.”

Leonard, who was at the softball field at the time, was summoned to the dugout to examine Frain. The early prognosis wasn’t good.

“It was huge,” Leonard said. “We iced it a bunch and took care of it during the doubleheader. He got up and was able to walk up and down the dugout, but that was kind of a tease. In the morning the swelling had spread, and I talked to Darrell and Kim about getting an X-ray.”

Their fears were realized, as Frain had a small fracture on the outside of the fibula above the ankle, from the force of the impact on the FRAIN| 7A

Day one of Orient-Macksburg softball tournament complete

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

ORIENT — Eight teams battled through the heat Wednesday in opening round play at the Orient Tournament. Four games are completed. The rest will take place Saturday.

Game one East Union has been playing better all-around softball over the last two weeks but it fell in its first game of the Orient Tournament on Wednesday to Melcher-Dallas by a score of 8-2.

Rylee Mitchell had a 2-for-4 day at the plate, but it

wasn’t enough. Melcher-Dallas crossed home plate fives times in the fourth to break open what was a 3-0 game coming into the inning.

“I have an exciting opportunity with some good young athletes,” he said.

Douma went 25-20 in two seasons at Creston.

He credited the staff and kids with making it an enjoyable experience.

“I was able to work with great kids and a great coaching staff,” Douma said. “I enjoyed my years at Creston.”

He added that he wasn’t looking for the job, but officials at Sioux City North reached out to him.

and accomplish things that have never been accomplished in Creston girl history,” McKim said.

He’s looking to make his own mark on the program, starting with the camp this week.

The camp allowed him an opportunity to instill the types of things he wants to see in the program.

“It’s a buzzword right now, but culture is a big thing,” McKim said. “This big thing we’re trying to instill is a change in culture.

We have to develop a basketball culture, a culture of

toughness, accountability.

There’s things we can work on this summer and especially going into this winter to get the right culture going.

“We can have success in the short and long term.”

McKim’s culture will be no-nonsense.

“I’m not real big on complaining, excuses,” McKim said. “That goes with toughness, accountability. We can create the right culture, which is a process. I have no doubt we can get it done here.

“I have no doubt about it.”

inside of his leg during the collision. No surgery was required, but Frain is in a stabilizing boot as he keeps score of Panther games.

“It’s a way to stay involved and try to get through it,” Darrell noted.

The recovery timetable is four to six weeks, meaning it’s possible with quick healing to be back on the field during district tournament time in mid-July. Otherwise, strengthening work will continue as he prepares for the football season he virtually missed as a junior.

Leonard, who has worked with former Panther football player Alex Tamerius through two knee surgeries and current junior athlete Colton Bolinger through multiple arm and knee surgeries, says getting through the mental grind of rehabilitation is one of the biggest challenges.

“Everybody handles it different,” Leonard said. “You try to look at the end of the tunnel and where you’re going, not focusing so much on the day to day or some bad days and setbacks you might have.”

“He’s actually pretty good about staying positive and focusing on getting better,” Kim Frain said.

He has no farther to look than down the dugout for encouragement, as Panther pitcher and catcher Jaden Driskell has recovered from knee surgery during the past football season, causing him to miss all of the basketball

ORIENT — Jesse Johnson whiffed 14 batters as Orient-Macksburg held off East Mills for a 9-5 win Wednesday.

Johnson went the distance, going seven innings and allowing five runs, three earned and walking four.

East Mills jumped out by two early before the Bulldogs could get settled in.

They also gave up two runs in the seventh, but O-M held firm.

“They roped a couple nice one drive shots and put up two real quick runs and then the defense clamped down a bit and Jesse (Johnson) start-

The condition of Brody Frain’s left leg two days after suffering a broken fibula when a player slid into his ankle on a stolen base attempt June 2. The nature of the play was similar to Panther third baseman Bret Kautz suffering a compound leg fracture in a collision with a runner at the base at the 2007 State Baseball Tournament.

season.

Patience helps Cammy Rutherford, anxiously awaiting her senior basketball season, missed six games of her sophomore year with ACL and meniscus tears in her right knee after landing awkwardly on a layup during a game.

Rutherford echoes Leonard’s thoughts about staying patient and focused on the end result. She vividly remembers the first day she jogged in the gym about three months after surgery, and the excitement of her first game the next winter.

ed getting in a bit of a groove and we started rolling with it,” Orient-Macksburg Drew Dornack said.

A huge six-run fourth inning proved enough to get the Bulldogs a win. They also posted runs in the first, third and seventh.

O-M hit well, stole some bases and received contributions from a number of Bulldogs. Dylan Nichols went 2-for-2, he reached base four times, he scored four runs and he stole six bases. His third-inning double helped jump-start the O-M offense.

“We were really disciplined at the plate,” Dornack said.

O-M hopes that discipline continues when it faces Twin Cedars tonight.

“I was so excited to be playing, I think I was smiling the whole time up and down the court!” Rutherford said.

Frain wants to experience that joy. When his fibula heals, he’s hoping for a fully healthy four-sport senior year.

“Brody’s mentality is, what can I do right now to help? He keeps a great scorebook,” Birchard said.

“Brody is a smart kid and will do what they tell him.

He’ll do everything he can to be ready when his leg is healed. We’re hoping he still has a chance to help us.”

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

Finally, good news for Roush?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Good grief, will Junior ever get it going in the right direction?

GODSPEAK: He just needs a little dose of Daytona magic in about three weeks.

KEN’S CALL: I think we’ll see a crew-chief change by Daytona’s July race.

Kinda, sorta. There was a bit of hoopla attached to Jack Roush’s name at Michigan, where Joey Logano’s win was the 100th for a car pushed by Roush Yates Racing Engines (frankly, if you just put the names Roush and Yates on a sticker under your hood, your car will likely go faster). But while Roush’s fingerprints were on Logano’s engine, Roush’s footprints are still absent from Victory Lane.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED AT MICHIGAN

Not-so-happy anniversary?

Yep, the Sonoma race next race will mark two years since a Roush-owned team won a Cup Series race. And that was with Carl Edwards, who moved on to the Joe Gibbs team, and worse yet for Jack, to a Toyota. Also, Michigan marked three years since one of Roush’s current drivers (Greg Biffle) last won a race.

Roush’s three drivers (Trevor Bayne, Biffle and Ricky Stenhouse) are currently between 18th and 24th in points. They've combined to lead just 40 laps this year (and just 43 all of last year).

Which driver is most in need of the coming off-week?

GODSPEAK: Good gosh, Tony Stewart needs a win mighty bad. Sonoma, after a week of R&R, may be his best hope.

KEN’S CALL: Clint Bowyer.

These first four months have been hard labor.

When does Chase Elliott get his first win?

GODSPEAK: Put me down for the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis, and Kentucky or New Hampshire for Kyle Larson.

KEN’S CALL: Trivia time: Strangely enough, his daddy got his first on the old Riverside road course in 1983, so I’m saying Sonoma next week for Chase.

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar facebook.com/ nascardaytona

Can it be fixed?

There are no sure things, but Ford’s racing boss, Dave Pericak, says everyone is committed to getting the Roush stable back in gear. They might do that, and they might not, but given everything Jack Roush did for Ford over the years, it’s an effort that definitely should be made.

Joey Logano had plenty to celebrate because he delivered a huge victory to Ford at Michigan.

GETTY IMAGES/JERRY MARKLAND

1. ‘Fordunate’ day

2. Toyota troubles

3. 10 winners

The gods of Detroit shined on Ford as it reached several milestones with Joey Logano’s victory at Michigan. It was Team Penske’s 50th Cup Series win in a Ford and marked the 100th win by Roush Yates Racing Engines. “This is always a big win for us here,” Logano said.

Michigan is not a good track for Toyota, period. In the past decade it has scattered five wins here and there at the two-mile oval. Kyle Busch’s No. 18 Camry blew up early in the 200-lap run. “There’s nothing you can do,” he said.

“You’re not going to go to the luck store and buy any.”

When Logano flashed across the finish line at Michigan, he became the 10th different driver to win a Cup Series race this season. There are 11 more regular-season races to qualify for the Chase, but things are beginning to feel tight for non-winners like Dale Earnhardt Jr.

3 THINGS TO WATCH 1. Kid drivers The Cup Series’ favorite kid drivers, Chase Elliott, 20, and Kyle Larson, 23, continue to inch closer to that first career victory. It almost seems they are racing each other for the honor. Elliott finished second and Larson third at Michigan.

At Dover it was Larson second and Elliott third. Elliott is hot right now. He has four top-five finishes in his last six starts. “I wish we could have gotten a win,” Elliott said at Michigan.

2. Stop looking If you are looking around for the Sprint Cup race on your television this weekend, sorry, there is no race. The Cuppers get the weekend off. There is

NASCAR youngsters Chase Elliott (24) and Kyle Larson (42) are inching closer and closer to their first career Cup victories. Who will get there first? AP/CARLOS OSORIO an Xfinity Series and Camping World Truck Series doubleheader at Iowa Speedway.

One storyline to watch: Ben Kennedy, a great-grandson of NASCAR founder William H.G. France, is making his Xfinity debut on Sunday. He is a Truck Series regular.

3. Where are they?

This is a fun weekend to go looking for Cup drivers on social media to see how they

are spending their time off.

Several drivers will scurry down to the Caribbean and detach from the network, but their photos will pop up on social media. Keep an eye out for Dale Earnhardt Jr. at @ DaleJr on Twitter. On his last off weekend, he captured and released a scorpion and was snapped on his beach-cruiser bicycle.

DARK HORSE: Tony Stewart DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: After four bad weeks and a week off, Busch defends his 2015 Sonoma title.

Buescher

DALE EARNHARDT JR. VS. CHRIS BUESCHER: Junior and AJ Allmendinger hit the wall after Buescher’s No. 34 Ford touched Earnhardt’s No. 88 Chevy in the apex of Turn 2.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Junior is normally a statesman, but this crash got under his skin. “You’ve got a responsibility … even when you’re three-wide. I’m disappointed in that,” he groused.

control of the game in every way in Nodaway Valley’s 9-1 win over Mormon Trail.

McElfish was named player of the game after pitching a complete game in which she surrendered one run, four hits and struck out nine.

She might have done even better at the plate. McElfish made mashed potatoes out of a Gracie Hitt offering in the fourth for a solo home run, and also had a double.

“Her performance is pretty steady all the time, that’s the way she plays every ballgame,” Nodaway Valley coach Ray Stewart said.

Kadee Eblen joined the home run fun and cranked one out in the seventh inning to help Nodaway Valley mount a rally.

The Wolverines didn’t hit the ball as well as Stewart may have wanted, but his team still posted nine runs in the win.

“We’re not hitting the ball like I think we can,” Stewart said.

“We play 1 35 Friday… we were ahead of them over at Winterset tournament and I’ll be darned if the girl (Carlyn Stanley) didn’t hit a home run to beat us.”

three-inning performance by Breianna Klein in the circle.

She struck out six batters and did not allow a baserunner.

Coach Danny Jensen called her performance “tough.”

Klein carried a big stick against the Lady Maroons.

She went 2-for-3 with three runs, a double, a home run and an RBI. Brandi Gilbert was the other Murray player with two hits and she added three RBIs. Eight different players scored a run for Murray and the Lady Mustangs stole eight bases.

Part of the measure of success in a game like this one was defensive consistency and having younger players jump into live-game situations.

“Couple JV guys had some hits, so it was a good day for us,” Jensen said.

The Lady Mustangs move on in the tournament. This marks their third straight weekend in a tourney, and second straight weekend playing tournament competition playing larger programs.

“As a lifelong coach, I believe in that that you have to get outside our conference…

The Creston tournament last weekend was huge for us because we got to see big teams, big schools,” Jensen said.

Nursing homes are expensive; you will need to pay what isn’t covered by Medicare, Medicaid or insurance. Medicaid is available after your resources are spent down below a certain level.

5 ways to beautify your deck without breaking the bank (BPT) - Are you ready to put your deck on the best-dressed list this summer, but hesitant to dent your savings? With these simple design ideas, you can make your deck the perfect place for summer festivities.

1. Accessorize with railings.

An easy way to give your deck a beauty boost is to update the railing. The decorative details of this safety feature are easy to overlook during the initial deck building process. Thankfully, with today’s products, it’s easy and affordable to turn this eyesore into an accessory.

For example, by replacing outdated railings with those that complement your deck boards and home’s exterior trim, you can create an outdoor living space that’s a well-styled extension of your home. If you have a non-traditional deck, cable rails or mixed medium infills like tempered glass panels may be your style. Or, if you want to mix modern with traditional elements, consider letting guests lean on attractive, but affordable aluminum rail systems like MoistureShield Pro. “The sleek lines of aluminum railing are the perfect counterpart to today’s contemporary spaces,” says Brent Gwatney, senior vice president, MoistureShield Composite Decking. “They’re a less obtrusive railing option and give decks a high-end, custom feel without the high-end price tag, and tend to be backed with long-term warranties.”

nately, there are a number of beautiful, low-cost ways to block the sun that go beyond the patio umbrella.

Pergolas are a popular way to shade your space without breaking the bank.

You can vary the direction of the beams to create interest, weave fabric panels across the top to create a cozy respite or use the structure to frame a view.

Screening trellises are another affordable option for relief from direct sunlight. They can disguise an unsightly view, soften your deck or provide an attractive backsplash for an outdoor kitchen, while adding shade and privacy. You can even bend high performance decking materials, like composite decking, to curve around existing trees to let nature act as your canopy.

of-a-kind feel, outfit it the same way you would an interior room, thinking about color and texture. While this may sound expensive, there are plenty of practical, budget friendly ways to make your deck a stylish extension of your home.

You can easily spice it up with painted furniture and fun accents. Pretty and durable accent pillows made from outdoor fabrics are an inexpensive way to add pops of color. Or if you find an outdoor fabric that you love you can make bench cushions to give your outdoor seating a cozy feel. Accents like an outdoor rug can tie it all together by adding texture underfoot, keeping dirt from being tracked inside your home, and defining areas for different uses.

5. Light up your evenings in Deckscaping is a timeless, low-cost way style.

3. Plant a deck-adent garden.

to turn your outdoor living space into a backyard beauty. Placing shrubs or a curving flowerbed along the perimeter of your deck can soften its edges and add colorful accents. Alternatively, bringing planters on deck with a mix of annuals and perennials can quickly turn a bland deck into a garden retreat full of seasonal blooms.

If your deck is small, consider keeping floor space free with a gorgeous overhead garden. Hanging flower baskets and trellises with climbing vines are simple and affordable space-savers that can make covered deck spaces resemble a spa-like retreat.

Finally, don’t neglect how your deck looks when the sun goes down. With the right lighting, you can extend your hours outside and keep your deck as charming in the nighttime as it is during the day.

From subtle post lights that cast a magical evening glow to understated recessed lights and rail strip lights that help guide guests’ steps, today’s deck lighting choices are both functional and affordable. And, with the emergence of energy-efficient LEDs, you can use them liberally with little effect on your monthly electricity bill. So, let your 2.
