Bridge safety a county issue Carter named

CNA, OST sports editor

Pictured is a 3-ton bridge on 210th Street south of Creston in rural Union County. Union County Engineer Zach Gunsolley said he is sure several bridges in Union County have decreased in weight and will be looking at potential bridge improvements.

By BAILEY POOLMAN that we want to ensure sults of the report, GunCNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Construction options are open pending the results of a biannual bridge report done June 13 through Union County Secondary Roads.

Zach Gunsolley, Union County engineer, explained the report is done every year with approximately half of the county bridges being looked at alternating years.

While the results are still out, Gunsolley is sure there are several bridges decreasing in weight.

Safety Bridge safety was brought up during a Union County Board of Supervisors meeting several weeks ago when Gunsolley brought up the issue with a bridge near a county residential home.

“If a bridge is down to 8-ton weight limit or 5 tons or 3 tons, the bridge is in such poor condition

the safety of the traveling public,” Gunsolley said.

Part of the 170 county bridges are inspected to look for aspects that could endanger the safety of that specific population.

Currently, at least one bridge has an increase in the weight restriction because of a new wooden deck on the bridge. But, Gunsolley pointed out, that is an exception as most generally decline in structural capacity.

“The report this year included 108 bridges, so it’s going to take us awhile to get through Gunsolley this and to know exactly how many decreased in capacity, and how many increased, if there’s more than one,” Gunsolley said.

After compiling the re-

solley will begin organizing it to see when certain bridges will have work done, and if any will need to be put on the 5-year plan.

“We will schedule repairs and do work orders on some of these bridges, based on what we’ve found,” Gunsolley said.

“We’ll have to add that to the work that we already have to do.”

Projects are either currently in the works or scheduled already, so bridges will need to be organized based on results. One example is a low-weight-limit bridge on a dirt road near the intersection of a gravel road also with a low weight-limit bridge. Gunsolley suggested organizing bridges like this with a point system, including aspects such as township and report results.

Bridges are updated using steel piling, which Gunsolley said will help the bridge last longer “be-

Kaleb Carter has been named the new sports editor at Creston News Advertiser and Osceola Sentinel-Tribune in Osceola.

Carter, 23, of Creston is a former sports reporter of the CNA and replaced Ryan Kronberg, former sports Carter editor.

Carter is formerly of Jamestown, Ohio. He and Larry Peterson will be covering various sporting events in the local coverage areas.

“It’s an exciting opportunity to represent the area as the go-to sports voice for southwest and south-central Iowa,” Carter said.

Carter attended Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, graduating in April 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in journalism. He interned at Athens News in Athens for a summer, and worked as freelance reporter at HustleBelt.com, a Mid-Amer-

ican Conference blog, and staff writer at New Political, an online local political news source for four years.

Carter started as sports editor Monday.

“It’s been extremely enjoyable familiarizing myself with prep and collegiate sports in the area, and I look forward to continuing to provide exposure to our area athletes and the tremendous product they put on the field, court or activity of their choosing,” Carter said.

“One thing I’ve appreciated about the area since moving here is the connectedness of the athletes to the community and vice versa,” Carter continued. “They all have a vested interest in what goes on athletically around them. It’s something that excited me before my arrival and still excites me today.”

To congratulate him or send story ideas, contact Carter at kacarter@crestonnews.com or 641-782-2141 ext. 6432, or follow him on Twitter at @Kaleb_M_Carter.

McConnell says GOP getting ready for Senate health care vote WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans are getting ready for Senate votes on legislation scuttling former President Barack Obama’s health care law, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday among growing indications that the climactic vote could occur next

Creston: Arts Camp has began

DEATHS Phil Kenealy Liberty, Mo.

Phillip J. Kenealy, 91, of Liberty, Missouri, formerly of Creston, passed away Sunday, June 18, 2017, at his home with his loving wife of 66 years, Patricia, and family by his side.

Phil was born Sept. 28, 1925, in Neola, to the late Jerome a n d Flore n c e (Schier- Kenealy brock) Kenealy. He attended Beebeetown High School, leaving in eighth grade to help his father farm after his mother passed away. He later attended business school in Omaha, Nebraska. He served as a sergeant for the U.S. Army in WWII. Phil married Patricia Anne Miller on Nov. 18, 1950.

To this blessed union, they added seven children, Mary Teresa (Joe) Latus of Creston, Elizabeth Kenealy of Cedar Falls, Dan (Becky Coates) Kenealy of Liberty, Missouri, Phil (Colleen Murphy) Kenealy of Cedar Falls, Tim (Madeline McNish) Kenealy of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Frank (Margaret Weis) Kenealy of Waverly and Jo (Tom) Link of Raytown, Missouri.

Phil retired from Ziegler, formerly GibbsCook, Caterpillar, as a salesman. His business relationships took him all across the state of Iowa, where he never knew a stranger. He also worked for Valley Equipment in Des Moines and Fritz Grote John Deere Implement in Boone. While residing in Creston, Phil

collapsed. Gunsolley said similar situations have occurred in Ringgold County, without the collapsed bridge.

“Unfortunately, some users of the county bridge system have ignored signs of posted bridges in other parts of the state, or caused the bridge to collapse,” Gunsolley said. “It is important that a similar situation does not happen in Union County.

“I can tell you that each harvest in Ringgold County brought a handful of phone calls of people complaining that they saw something much heavier than a post-

In addition to his parents, Phil was preceded in death by his sister, Mary O’Rourke; his brothers, Ray and Tom Kenealy and an infant granddaughter.

Phil is survived by his wife, all seven of his children, 15 grandchildren, their respective spouses and 17 great-grandchildren; his brother Leo (Jo Ann) Kenealy of Minden; his sister-in-law Joanne Kenealy of Council Bluffs and many nieces and nephews. Phil had a kind and generous heart; he was loved and admired by all.

A visitation with the family will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 21, with a Christian Wake service to follow at Pearson Family Funeral Service and Cremation Center, 809 W. Montgomery St., in Creston. A Memorial Mass will be held 10:30 a.m. Thursday, June 22, at Holy Spirit Parish in Creston. A lunch will immediately follow in the Parish Hall at Holy Spirit.

Memorial contributions are suggested to St. Malachy’s Catholic School in Creston or to American Cancer Society. It was Phil’s wish to donate his body to anatomical research and therefore, will be cremated with a private family interment at a later date.

ing cross it,” Gunsolley said. “The biannual report is going to help me with an updated bridge condition of the overall bridge system here in Union County and to help prioritize future bridge projects and where we need to allocate (funds).”

In other county supervisors news: • Soil testing is scheduled to be done in the future to discover specific data on samples on REA Road.

This will allow Union County Secondary Roads employees to allocate materials more specifically, saving the county money on wasted materials if the testing is not done. Testing will cost approximately $15,000.

Newly identified Civil War graves in Iowa get tombstones SIOUX CITY (AP) — Formerly unmarked graves of Civil War veterans have received new white tombstones at an Iowa city’s cemetery.

The Sioux City Journal reports that 20 men buried at Floyd Cemetery in Sioux City were recently identified after city staff did some research.

Tim Tushla is the city’s cemeteries supervisor. He says the new tombstones are good progress, but there are still empty spots in the

The installation of the new tombstones is part of a larger effort to improve the cemetery. Old trees have been removed, old concrete is being replaced, and older gravestones are being repaired.

Summer art camp is here again at Creston Community High School in the art room. First- through fourth-grade camps are in the morning and fifththrough eighth-grade are in the afternoon with free lunch Monday through Thursday at the school for all children.

The camps have experienced art instructors who guide children through

many different activities using a wide range of media and materials. Each week has different instructors and activities, but there is a common thread of using recycled materials available to anyone to create art. The camps are a safe, judgment-free environment where kids are encouraged to express themselves through the exploration of different

media and techniques.

If children are interested in attending art camp, there are a few spaces left for the morning group and plenty of space in the afternoon group (fifththrough eighth-grade) for weeks two and three. The cost is $50 per week, and scholarships are available for those who need them.

Go to www.crestonarts. com to find camp registra-

tion documents and frequently asked questions, or call Brian Zachary at 641-247-1663 for more information. High school teens are welcome to come volunteer and have fun working with younger kids and art.

This year, Creston: Arts Camp and scholarships are made possible by a generous donation from Iowa State Savings Bank.

VOTE:

erage to around 20 million additional people and forcing insurers to provide more generous benefits.

They held the Senate floor for several hours late Monday and promised to use procedural tactics to slow the Senate’s work in an effort to focus attention on the Republican effort.

They also forced McConnell to turn aside requests to require Senate committees to debate and vote on the measure, a step in the legislative process that GOP leaders have foregone.

“The combination of secrecy and speed are a toxic recipe,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., called the secrecy of the GOP effort “an insult to the American people.”

Democrats’ largely symbolic effort was likely to have little or no impact on how McConnell handles the measure, which he’d like the Senate to approve by the end of next week. But they were hoping it would have at least two effects — scare off Republicans wavering over whether to back the measure, and show liberal activists that Democrats are aggressively trying to thwart

the legislation, even though they lack the votes to derail it.

McConnell is using closeddoor meetings among Republicans to write the bill.

In these sessions lawmakers are trying to resolve in- McConnell ternal disputes over how to reduce the insurance coverage standards that Obama’s law requires, cut the Medicaid health care program for the poor and eliminate taxes Obama levied on higher earners and the medical industry.

Democrats are increasingly worried that McConnell will jam the bill through the Senate with little debate, limiting their chance to scrutinize the bill and whip up opposition against it.

Under special rules, each party will have just 10 hours of debate on the measure before the chamber begins a vote-a-rama, a series of quick amendment votes with little discussion. Democrats have even suggested a scenario in which Senate debate begins on a preliminary

version of the GOP measure and McConnell offers the final package as a late amendment, giving Democrats little or no time to criticize it.

As Democrats made a series of motions that McConnell turned aside, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., twice asked the GOP leader to ensure Democrats will have more than 10 hours to study and debate the bill before the vote.

“I think we’ll have ample opportunity to read and amend the bill,” McConnell answered each time.

The procedures McConnell will use will let Senate Republicans pass the bill as long as no more than two of the 52 GOP senators oppose it. It remains uncertain McConnell will be able to do that, but both parties respect his ability to keep his party unified and count votes.

Democrats are trying to capitalize on the secrecy and contrast it with the numerous committee meetings and votes that produced Obama’s 2010 statute. They say they will slow work on bills by refusing to let the Senate bypass time-consuming procedural steps, which it customarily does on most legislation.

and added, “We have to act, and we are.”

On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said GOP senators will be briefed on the emerging bill Wednesday and he expects to see the legislation the next day, about a week before a vote occurs.

Even so, lobbyists said final decisions had yet to be made on some issues, including how to make sure that health care tax subsidies Republicans would provide cannot used to buy insurance that covers abortion. That’s a crucial problem for the GOP because many conservative Republican senators are demanding such restrictions.

Lacking the votes to stop it, Democrats are criticizing the still-evolving bill as a stealthy measure that GOP leaders want to rush through the chamber before anyone knows what’s really in it.

Democrats concede that Obama’s prized statute needs changes to shore up some regional markets where insurers are losing money. But they praise its impact on providing cov-

Georgia race finally heads to voters; DC watching closely ROSWELL, Ga. (AP) — The most expensive House race in U.S. history is in the hands of voters Tuesday in the northern suburbs of Atlanta.

Either Republican Karen Handel will claim a seat that’s been in her party’s hands since 1979 or Democrat Jon Ossoff will manage an upset that will rattle Washington ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.

Their matchup in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District has become a proxy for the national political atmosphere and a test of GOP strength early in Donald Trump’s presidency. Supporters of both candidates who cast votes early Tuesday morning said that divide made the contest emotional; several were relieved the race was nearly over after weeks of door knocks from the campaigns and a bevy of television ads.

Tom Greathouse, an auto repair business owner who voted for Handel early Tuesday morning at a high school in Johns Creek, said he still was encouraged to see so many neighbors talking about the race.

“You know, there’s a seat that’s became available that’s been taken by the

Republicans for a very long time,” Greathouse, 52, said.

“I think there’s a lot of emotion. I think people are actually getting out and saying what they need to say this time, which I think is very important.”

For Ossoff supporter David Ware, the decision is based on his belief that health care should be affordable.

“I think it’s a personal race,” said Ware, 63, an attorney. “I think in the 6th District we have a chance to make a decision about who’s going to lead us whether the president is there or not there, whether his policies are good or bad. We need to have someone that we can depend on and rely on to make our voice heard.”

Ossoff, 30, is a former congressional staffer turned documentary filmmaker.

Making his first bid for office, he’s become a symbol of the Trump opposition movement.

Yet Ossoff barely mentions the president, talking instead in generalities about “restoring civility” and the importance of Congress as an oversight body. He doesn’t constantly refer to Handel, a former Georgia secretary of state, directly

804 S. Mulberry — Creston —

either, instead pitching his “fresh leadership” against “career politicians.”

Handel, 55, embraces her experience as a statewide and local elected official.

“You know me,” she says, adding often that Ossoff has “no record” and “inflates his resume.”

She’s also known as a Susan G. Komen Foundation executive when the organization in 2012 sought to cut off its support of Planned Parenthood, which provides services including abortions.

The Georgia 6th is an affluent and well-educated district that has elected Newt Gingrich, the former speaker; Johnny Isakson, now Georgia’s senior U.S. senator; and most recently Tom Price, who resigned in February to join the administration.

But even with that pedigree, Trump barely edged Democrat Hillary Clinton in November, giving Ossoff his opening once Price was confirmed. Ossoff hopes to maximize the district’s Democratic base and pick up just enough independents and moderate Republicans who don’t align with Trump.

Handel has handled Trump gingerly. She bare-

ly mentioned him ahead of finishing second to Ossoff in an April primary. She welcomed him for a fundraiser in late April, but it was closed.

Even a Trump Cabinet member and former Georgia governor, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, acknowledged the conundrum at a recent Handel rally, saying “some Republicans” are “turned off” by the president.

But that hasn’t stopped Trump from weighing in on the race. In one early Tuesday tweet, Trump criticized Ossoff, saying he’ll raise taxes, is weak on crime and “doesn’t even live in district.” Ossoff lives in Atlanta, south of the suburban district. He has said the address is close to Emory University, where his fiancée attends medical school.

In another tweet, Trump praised Handel as a hard worker who will fight for lower taxes, great health care and strong security.

Aside from the race’s political implications, voting technology activists also are keeping a close eye on Georgia. Voters use touchscreen voting machines, criticized by some activists as outdated and vulnerable.

Officers made contact with Sigler. Officers informed her the reason they had stopped her was because she was unable to maintain her lane and crossing the lane lines. Sigler stated she was tired and just woke up in Des Moines where she was taking a nap.

Sigler stated she was on her way back home to Nebraska.

Officers observed Sigler’s speaking to be slowed and slurred and she appeared to be lethargic. While speaking with Sigler at the driver’s side door, officers observed the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Officers had Sigler come back to their vehicle. Sigler was identified and officers ran her driver’s license through Atlantic state radio. They advised Sigler’s privilege was suspended in Nebraska. Officers asked Sigler when was the last time she had smoked marijuana. Sigler stated approximately 10 hours prior to being stopped. Sigler stated there was a joint in the vehicle.

Officers conducted a probable cause search of the vehicle. Officers located a small black pouch containing a partially smoked, rolled up marijuana cigarette. There was still some fresh marijuana in the cigarette. Officers then located a green purse on the passenger seat covered up by a dark sweater.

Officers then located a light blue hand purse containing a multi-colored metal grinder containing a green leafy substance. Officers observed

According to an Adair County Sheriff’s report, officers were traveling west on I-80 in their personal vehicle. At approximately the 113 mile marker, officers observed a blue four-door vehicle bearing Nebraska license plates unable to maintain its lane. Officers observed the vehicle cross over the outside fog line back into the inside lane and back.

Officers followed the vehicle for approximately 1 1/2 miles. The vehicle continued to swerve from fog line to middle dividing line multiple times as it crossed over the bridge. Officers called Atlantic state radio and advised them to see if another officer was close in proximity. They advised there was no one close. Officers observed the driver to be Sigler. As officers were passing Sigler, the vehicle began to enter officer’s lane of travel, almost making contact with their personal vehicle. Once officers got to their patrol car in Grain prices quoted at 10 Stuart, they went to I-80 to a.m. today: attempt to locate the vehicle.

Officers then located a black hard case folding card holder containing three boxes of zig-zags. Officers asked Sigler if the green purse in the vehicle was hers. She stated yes. Officers asked Sigler what the crystal substance was. Sigler stated it was methamphetamine and had forgotten it was in her bag. Sigler consented to field sobriety tests. Officers administered HGN, lack of convergence and modified Romberg. Sigler showed signs of impairment. Sigler refused the walk and turn on one leg test.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, June 20, 2017

First impressions, Father’s Day and the U.S. Open Sense Though I have spent little more than three weeks in Creston, I am more than happy to report the town feels like home. And this is mostly because absolutely everybody I’ve met has been nothing but friendly — my co-workers first among them. A thousand thanks go out to Scott Vicker, Rich Paulsen, Larry Peterson, Carter Eckl, Melody Stoll, Bailey Poolman, Kaleb Carter and everybody else at the CNA who has been so welcoming.

But I didn’t spend this past weekend in Creston. Instead, my father and I attended the 117th U.S. Open in Erin Hills, Wisconsin. It was a sort of combined birthday and Father’s Day celebration for my dad, who turned 54 on Wednesday.

For the uninitiated, the U.S. Open is a four-day, 72-hole golf tournament; one of the largest and most prestigious to take place each year. When my mother and I discovered it was to be held in Wisconsin just four (or so) hours away from our family home in Iowa City, we purchased two weekend tickets as a Father’s Day surprise. He’d been clued-in eventually, of course.

It’s difficult to hide things like this on the credit card bill.

The trip itself was wonderful.

The weather on both Saturday and Sunday was up and down, but never did it rain any harder than a sprinkle and never did we feel too terribly uncomfortable in anything more than shorts and short-sleeved shirts. Intermittent cloud-cover, sunshine and winds kept things just interesting enough.

Both my father and I were amazed by the tournament’s logistical wizardry. This was a small patch of grass in rural Wisconsin, 40 minutes from any kind of significantly sized city, that hosted a crowd in excess of 35,000 attendees four days in a row. This is to say nothing of the more than 5,000 volunteers and others required to ensure things ran smoothly.

And things did run smoothly.

We encountered very few hiccups in our two day stay — only worldclass golf, and a lot of it. My sun-

A miscellany of sense and nonsense Alex Felker staff writer

burns prove as much. After waking up sometime around 5:30 a.m. each day, we did not return to our hotel room until the late evenings.

It was a little strange seeing these golf superstars in person. Sergio Garcia, Jordan Spieth, Ricky Fowler — I’d seen them all on the television countless times, but being up close and personal was an entirely different experience. An experience highlighted by an occurrence just a few hours into Saturday morning, when Jordan Spieth hit a drive on the third hole that landed no more than 20 feet away from where my father and I were standing. We then watched Spieth chop his ball out of the long grass from this distance, and were almost assuredly caught by the cameras positioned directly across — goggling on TV. And speaking of TV — attending a golf tournament in person is very different. Rather than being transported from hole to hole in jumpcuts and rewinds, one is limited by how quick their legs can move and how far into the distance their eyes can see. After spending some time on Saturday wandering around the course and getting our sea-legs, we decided to follow around the pairing of Hideki Matsuyama (who finished tied for second) and Brandt Snedeker.

The atmosphere was intense.

Crowds of hundreds and even thousands slid like amoebas from hole to hole in pursuit of fan-favorites and leaders. Each green, each grandstand and each tee box served as cluster-points for fans to get close looks at the action.

On Sunday, we spent the lion’s portion of the golfing day stationed on a hill directly above the fourth green. From this vantage point we could see each pairing hit their first, second and — if needed — third shots, as they approached to

putt. With the aid of some nifty folding chairs, we found ourselves in a cozy little situation that most around us affirmed to be one of the best viewing points on the entire golf course.

In any case, it is needless to say that we had a great time. And more than just a spectacular golf tournament, this was three or so

days that I got to spend with my dad in observance of a shared interest — and in acknowledgement of all my father has done for me (and all he’s had to put up with).

And that’s what Father’s Day is all about.

Nonsense • Had hoped to see more Cyclones in Creston. And yes, we do

still “have a football team.”

• Am still unsure if there are more squirrels or people living in city limits. It does seems that the squirrels have a more active population at times.

• When driving into Creston from the north, out of the corner of my eye I sometimes mistake the grain elevators near uptown for skyscrapers.

Blimp fire HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Golf Channel aired footage of a PenFed advertising blimp which caught fire and crashed near the Erin Hills golf course site of the U.S. Open championship on Thursday. The advertisers learned their lesson.

This is the last time they allow Tiger Woods to be their guest celebrity blimp pilot.

O.J. Simpson was reported Thursday preparing for his parole hearing at Nevada state prison in July. He’s so ready for a new life.

O.J. is straight, and between his college football career, his NFL career and his time in prison, he’s been showering with men since Lyndon Johnson was the president.

The Weather Channel aired a prediction that Southern California could endure an unusually dangerous fire season this year.

At least there’s plenty of water to fight it. Since the presidential election the California drought has been reduced by 90 percent, and that’s just from all the crying.

President Trump returned early Sunday from his first day and a half at the presidential retreat at Camp David, famous for its peace and quiet. He couldn’t stand it.

As soon as the president made it back into town, the Secret Service

Tennessee is moving the body of President James Polk from the state capitol lawn to his hometown. He won the Mexican War to annex California a year before the gold strike. Trump University recognizes President Polk as the Father of How to Make Money in Real Estate with No Money Down.

The Russian Defense Ministry disclosed Saturday a Russian air force attack killed ISIS leader Abu al-Baghdadi in a targeted air strike in the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa in Syria. As we say, that’s show business. One day you’re all over the newspapers and the next day, you’re all over the pavement.

President Trump’s attorney Jay Sekulow told NBC the president is not under Special Counsel probe for obstruction of justice as the New York Times had said.

What do you expect? If Donald Trump walked across the Potomac River, the New York Times headline would say Trump Can’t

The White House was picketed Friday by Hispanics offended by the wall, by Muslims offended by the travel ban, by Democrats offended by Obamacare repeal and by socialists offended by tax cuts. It never ends. The U.S. would have the greatest economy in world history if only being offended paid better.

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe absent-mindedly claimed Friday that 93 million Americans are killed by gunfire every day. He later clarified and said he meant to say 93 Americans are killed by gunfire every day. So if you take away Chicago, we’re all living in Mayberry.

House Members introduced a bill to end the federal ban on pot and allow each state to decide its legal status. There is growing bipartisan support in Congress for legalizing medical marijuana to help relieve arthritis pain. In other words, there is joint support for joint support for joint support.

Cosby alternate juror ‘probably’ would have voted to convict

“IT WAS the craziest, eeriest bus ride I’ve ever taken.�

__

MIKE MCCLOSKEY Alternate juror

McCloskey posted his juror’s badge on Facebook as proof of his role in the case. He did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press on Monday.

Jurors deliberated more than 52 hours over six days before telling a judge they couldn’t break their deadlock. The jurors’ names haven’t been made public and the split on the vote hasn’t been disclosed, shrouding the case in mystery.

Prosecutors are fighting to keep the jurors’ identities a secret, arguing in court documents Monday that releasing them would result in a “publicity onslaught� and make picking a jury for the second trial more difficult. Media organizations including The Associated Press urged a judge to release them, saying the public has an interest in “confirming that the outcome of the first trial was the result of an impartial process.�

Pennsylvania law allows the public release of jurors’ names, but judges have discretion to keep them a secret under certain conditions.

Judge Steven O’Neill, who presided over the Cosby trial, will hold a hearing Tuesday on the release of the names.

He advised jurors when

BM SALES Owner: Pat Loudon

the trial ended Saturday that they didn’t need to discuss the case. “It can never be clearer that if you speak up, you could be chilling the justice system in the future if jurors are needed in this case,� O’Neill told them.

Cosby, the actor and comedian once known as “Ameri c a ’ s Dad,� w a s charged w i t h t h r e e felony counts of Cosby aggravated indecent assault stemming from Andrea Constand’s allegations that he drugged and violated her at his suburban Philadelphia home. He said the encounter was consensual.

It is not yet clear why jurors could not reach a verdict, or how close they came. “We get 12 people to agree on sex assault cases all the time, but this is not any case. It’s an old case, it’s a controversial case, it’s a case that involves questions of consent,� said Loyola Law School professor Laurie Levenson.

In a retrial, District Attorney Kevin Steele could ask the judge to allow testimony from more of Cosby’s 60 accusers, or to disclose to jurors that Constand is gay. That never came up in her seven hours of testimony.

The defense had hoped, if it did, to introduce evidence she had previously dated a man. “The key to retrying a case is to do it differently the second time because the defense expects you to do it the same way,� said Constand’s lawyer, Dolores Troiani.

Cosby remains free on $1 million bail in the criminal case. O’Neill could schedule the retrial within weeks.

The entertainer is also battling sexual battery or defamation cases still pending by 10 women in California and Massachusetts. Several of them attended the criminal trial with their lawyers.

The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they grant permission, which Constand has done.

Coroner: Cocaine among drugs found in Carrie Fisher’s system LOS ANGELES (AP) — Carrie Fisher’s autopsy report shows the actress had cocaine in her system when she fell ill on a plane last year, but investigators could not determine what impact the cocaine and other drugs found in her system had on her death.

The report released Monday states Fisher may have taken cocaine three days before the Dec. 23 flight on which she became ill. She died four days later.

It also found traces of heroin, other opiates and MDMA, which is also known as ecstasy, but that they could not determine when Fisher had taken those drugs.

The findings were based on toxicology screenings done on samples taken when the “Star Wars� actress arrived at a Los Angeles hospital.

Coroner’s officials ruled Fisher died from sleep apnea and a combination of other factors. A news release issued Friday mentioned drugs were found in Fisher’s system, but it did not provide details.

Monday’s full report contains a detailed explanation of the results, such as why investigators believe Fisher took cocaine at least three days before her flight. “At this time the significance of cocaine cannot be established in this case,� the report states.

It also states that while heroin is detectable in the system for a briefer period of time, investigators could not determine when Fisher, 60, took it or the ecstasy.

WHEN IT’S TIME TO MOVE

SM-CP4216440621

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — An alternate juror in Bill Cosby’s sexual assault case said Monday he “probably� would have voted to convict and was “ridiculously sick� when he found out the main jury couldn’t reach a verdict.

A mistrial was declared Saturday after jurors said they were hopelessly deadlocked. Prosecutors plan to retry the 79-yearold star on charges he drugged and molested a woman in 2004.

As an alternate, Mike McCloskey heard all the testimony but didn’t participate in deliberations.

He told Pittsburgh radio station WDVE that jurors did not discuss the case on the bus ride after the trial, maintaining “complete silence.� The trial took place outside Philadelphia, but the jury came from the Pittsburgh area. “It was the craziest, eeriest bus ride I’ve ever taken,� said McCloskey, 43.

Toxicology tests also found other opiates in Fisher’s system, including morphine, although the report states the morphine could have been a byproduct of heroin. “Ms. Fisher suffered what appeared to be a cardiac arrest on the airplane accompanied by vomiting and with a history of sleep apnea. Based on the available toxicological information, we cannot establish the significance of the multiple substances that were detected in Ms. Fisher’s blood and tissue, with regard to the cause of death,� the report states.

Dear Heloise: My daughter has a SAFE WAY to make purchases without carrying a lot of cash or using charge cards, whose information can be copied.

If she knows she will be shopping at a particular store or online, she will purchase a gift card for that business.

That way, she does not give away her charge card numbers. – D.M., via fax SOAP STORY Dear Heloise: The marketplace seems to be flooded with products labeled “shower gel” and “body wash.”

Are these actually soap, or is this a clever advertising gimmick? Do you use bar soap with them? How do you choose? – L.T., Omaha, Neb. L.T., great question, and there is a difference! Both shower gel and body wash are liquid soaps, and bar soap is a solid, but all are used to clean your skin.

Women, especially, tend to prefer liquid soap over bar soap, primarily because liquids lather more, there is a WIDE choice of fragrances available, and liquid body cleansers typically have more moisturizers than bar soap, so they are less drying to the skin.

The liquids also might have a shimmery ingredient added to make your skin “sparkle.”

Here are two differences

between the liquids: Shower gel typically is thicker in consistency than body wash, and it is more densely fragranced, so the scent of shower gel may last longer on your skin.

Manufacturers of shower gels and body washes recommend using a sponge or lather-builder to maximize suds.

Rinse and dry the sponge thoroughly between uses.

Have two to rotate.

Bar soap can be a breeding ground for bacteria, although this is not a major concern – the bacteria washes away when you rinse. Ultimately, the decision is yours – there are lots of choices out there.

Lady Mustangs reign supreme at O-M again n Murray tops Lenox for fourth consecutive O-M Tournament title

By CARTER ECKL staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

MURRAY — For the fourth straight year the Murray Lady Mustangs were champions of the Orient-Macksburg softball tournament knocking off Lenox 9-1 in the final game Sunday evening.

In the championship against Lenox, Murray jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead, taking advantage of three walks allowed by Lenox pitcher TJ Stoaks. Lenox responded quickly in the bottom of the first inning on a Shantelle Brown RBI double to right, but that would be the only run Murray pitcher Kayla Wookey would allow.

“She settled down,” said Murray softball coach Danny Jensen post game. “I credit (Lenox) for swinging.

They were coming at her.

We tweaked a couple places where we threw it and she was able to get it back on top.”

Wookey pitched a complete game giving up one earned run, five hits while striking out eight.

In the second inning, Murray added to its lead

with two more runs on wild pitches, putting the Lady Mustangs ahead 4-1. That lead carried into the fifth inning where Kendra Boles smoked a leadoff home run over the left field fence.

Boles finished as player

of the game going three-forfour with a home run and two RBIs. The Lady Mustangs added a few insurance runs in the sixth inning putting them up by the eventual final score, 9-1.

Jensen was pleased with the way his team batted throughout the tournament.

“It wasn’t just my three, four, five (hitters) it was one through nine,” said Jensen.

“I think our hitting is coming around real well for us,

its been kind of slacking.”

Lenox pitcher Stoaks finished the game with eight walks through four innings pitched.

The Tigers bats were productive in the first two rounds of the tournament scoring 30 runs in their first two games. Leading up to the finals they knocked in 17 against Orient-Macksburg in the opening round and 13 against Diagonal in the semifinals. But the bats went silent against Murray.

Lenox managed five hits against the Lady Mustangs, but those hits only came from Makinna Fitzgerald and Shantelle Brown.

Tigers head coach Mandy Stoaks was optimistic about the week as a whole.

“It wasn’t quite what we wanted in the tournament here,” said Stoaks. “We played 4-2, lost to Martensdale, lost to Murray. That’s a pretty decent week.”

Lenox faced Martensdale-St. Marys before the O-M tournament losing 5-2.

Murray’s run The Lady Mustang’s pitching was dominant throughout the entire tournament giving up only six runs in three games. Wookey and Breianna Klein combined for 21 strikeouts and three walks in their three games pitched.

Panthers end schneid against Cards

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

The feeling of victory is something the Creston softball team hasn’t experienced since June 3. That was the case until Monday when the Panthers blasted seven hits in three innings on their way to a 12-0 win over Clarinda.

Creston posted five runs in the first inning and seven in the third to wrap the game up quickly. The Panthers’ first win in their last 15 games came against a winless Cardinals team that battled Creston more closely the first time the two squared off on May 30.

“It was just good to get a W. It really was,” Creston coach Mike McCabe said.

“The kids have battled hard here against good people and have played good ball, just haven’t been able to sustain it for the entire game.”

The Panthers got on the board first with no outs in the first when Kylee La-

Masters singled through the right side to score Lexie Little from second base.

After Cammy Rutherford’s popup was dropped, Saige Rice singled up the middle to plate two more runs.

It was one of three hits on the day for Rice.

Mattie Wheeler’s twoout double off the left field fence allowed two more Panthers to score.

Creston played add-on in the third, highlighted by Chloe Hagle’s double that scored two runs to give Creston an 8-0 lead. It was her third single of the day.

Three more runs scored on a groundball off the bat of Cammy Rutherford that was thrown out of play.

The game ended when Rice hit an infield single to the left side. She beat the throw to first with two outs, allowing the final run to cross home.

“It’s just a lot of confidence for us now that we

From pals to co-coaches

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Creston High School volleyball has its new head coach(s).

The “s” because the Creston Community School District Board of Directors confirmed both current school employs Mallory Peterson and Naomi Sharp as co-head coaches at Monday’s monthly meeting.

Sharp was the coach for a two-year span in 2004-2005.

Both she and Peterson have extensive volleyball e x p e r i - Sharp ence.

Peterson and Sharp have spent time

as assistant coaches to East Union volleyball coach Gail Thatcher, with Peterson being an assistant this past season and Sharp being an assistant to Thatcher for the nine years prior to the 2016 fall season before taking time off after becoming a mother again.

Sharp was a member of the Eagle coaching staff that appeared at state in 2010 and 2011.

Peterson played high school volleyball under Thatcher. Both have been helped in their volleyball journeys by the longtime East Union coach.

“She’s been my volleyball mentor. She’s who got me into coaching volleyball,” Peterson said. “She’s been a big role model to us in the volleyball world. She’s built that program from the bottom up.”

Peterson has had previous

experience at two volleyball head coaching jobs, Manson Northwest Webster in Barnum and two years at Interstate 35 High School.

Peterson has been an assistant for former Panther coach Polly Luther in the past, and has been the freshman girls basketball coach for the past year.

When Luther resigned due to a familial health issue, some of the Panther girls pressed Sharp and Peterson about the idea of one of them coaching.

Both had teased the idea of coaching the program together.

Now that situation is reality.

“The timing is right now and I’m super excited to start and coach with Naomi is something I’m excited to do,” Peterson said.

Both have been working with the girls in open gyms over recent weeks.

Peterson and Sharp both describe their coaching tactics as intense, and will seek to bring out the best in Creston athletes by pushing them past their limits.

Peterson noted that the two share many similar thoughts on coaching styles and tactics.

“Mallory and I are both pretty intense when it comes to coaching and we have pretty high expectations for our players,” Sharp said.

B o t h Peterson have ties to Southwestern Community College, as Peterson was an assistant with the 2013 Spartans team and played for the program while Sharp was on the SWCC team that took third-place nationally in 1999

under former longtime coach Rita Schroeder.

Coming full circle with the Creston volleyball program as coaches while developing relationships with the student-athletes they’ve taught is something that leaves both giddy with excitement.

“I love coaching the kids and seeing the achievements big and small day in and day out,” Peterson said.

For Sharp, it’s another chance to take the helm at Creston, but this time, with more experience under her belt and a longtime colleague and friend to provide support and guidance.

Both expect big things in the coming years.

“I always have huge expectations for kids,” Sharp said.

“I think if you hang that carrot high enough, they’ll strive to get there.”

Neal cools off Panther bats ■ Cardinal

lefty overcomes shaky start in 6-2 win over Creston

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

Creston hitters made a lot of noise early with five hits in the first inning Monday night at Panther Field.

But, when left fielder Cody Hayes threw out Creston courtesy runner Rylan Luther at the plate on Dustin Merritt’s single, Cardinal pitcher Bryce Neal was able to escape the jam with only one run allowed.

Neal, a lefthanded junior coming off an injury, yielded only one more run the rest of the way as he settled into his second victory of the season in as many outings. Clarinda won, 6-2, in a battle of teams that were tied for seventh place in the Hawkeye 10 at 5-7.

“Give Creston credit, they were swinging hard on us early,” Clarinda coach Rod Eberly said. “This was only Bryce’s second outing.

He broke a knuckle on his pitching hand in PE in May. He got better as the game went on tonight. Instead of just throwing, he started pitching. He was mixing in

jumping out to early leads in every game. The Lady Mustangs quickly took a five-run lead against Mormon Trail in the opening round, eventually winning 20-3. Murray capitalized on a first inning two-run lead against Nodaway Valley in the semifinals before winning 9-2.

NV finishes third Nodaway Valley topped Diagonal 13-3 to finish third in the tournament. Alyssa Davis opened the scoring for the Wolverines with an RBI double into the right field gap in the second inning. With a 5-3 lead in the fifth inning, the Wolverines broke it open scoring eight runs in the frame thanks to RBI base hits from Natalie Daugherty, Bri Welsch and Bailey Kuster. The eight runs put Nodaway Valley up 10 runs in the fifth inning ending the game by run rule.

“We’ve struggled, there is no question,” said Nodaway Valley head coach Ray Stewart. “So, it was good to see the kids hit the ball the way they did today.”

Nodaway Valley beat Melcher-Dallas 4-1 to reach the semifinals before losing to Murray 9-2.

and out, and had his sinking split-finger going pretty good the second and third times through their order.”

Neal worked out of trouble several times as Creston continually came up one base hit short of closing the gap, finishing with eight runners left on base.

In the Panther first inning, McDowell singled but was picked off first base as he broke early on a steal attempt. Cody Crawford, Jaden Driskell, Kadon Hulett and Merritt also had singles, but the rally netted just a single run.

“I thought we were going to hit the ball pretty well after we started out so well,” said Creston coach Steve Birchard. “After that we just didn’t string enough together. Neal is a good pitcher.

He’d get us to 0-2 (count) and throw a ball that looked pretty good. We haven’t seen that kind of stuff when he’s throwing the splitter.”

The loss nullified an adequate pitching outing by McDowell, who was relieved by Michael Scherer in the sixth after McDowell was struggling to get the final out in Clarinda’s three-run rally that stretched a 3-2 lead to 6-2.

Scherer retired the Cardinals in order in the seventh with McDowell making all three plays at shortstop after

Diagonal looks for consistency Diagonal knocked off East Union 5-3 to advance to its semifinal match with Nodaway Valley. The Maroonettes scored all five runs against East Union in the fourth inning. Three of those RBI came off the bat of Emily Newton. In the circle, Katie Sobotka threw a complete game allowing eight hits, five walks, but only one earned run earning Diagonal its first win of the year.

Diagonal jumped out to a quick lead against Lenox in the semifinals thanks to a Kasydi Klommhaus RBI double in the first inning.

The Maroonettes followed that with two more runs in the third. However, Lenox quickly responded with seven runs of its own catapulting to a 7-3 lead after three innings of play. The Maroonettes couldn’t slow the Tiger’s momentum, losing 13-3 in six innings.

“At times, I thought we hit the ball really well,” said Diagonal head coach Matt Warren. “We played against good competition and I thought we hung right with them. So, we’re happy.”

Consistency throughout a game has been an issue for the Maroonettes so far this season, but Warren is seeing signs of optimism.

“We’re just waiting to put it together for seven innings.

earlier throwing 98 pitches.

On the final one, McDowell went to his knee on a ball in the hole toward third, popped up, planted his feet and fired a bullet to Hulett at first to get Dietrich Engstrom by a step.

Earlier in the game, it was Gonzalez providing McDowell with a stellar defensive play. On a base hit to center by Dawson Sams in the second inning, William Shull tried to score from second base. Gonzalez threw all the way to Driskell at the plate in the air and the Panther catcher applied the tag for the third out to keep the game tied at 1-1.

In the bottom half of the second inning Bryce Fitzgerald reached base on a ball mishandled in left. Scherer followed with a single and Fitzgerald scored on a groundout by McDowell to push the Panthers ahead 2-1.

Creston never led again as the Cardinal offense took advantage of opportunities and Neal settled in to hurl a shutout the rest of the way.

“We made some nice defensive plays, but bottom line is you have to score more than that,” Birchard said. “It would have been nice to at least gotten a split against them this year with a chance to move up a little bit in the conference.”

UP NEXT — Creston

Junior varsity Clarinda won the JV game, 4-2, by breaking a 2-2 tie in the fourth inning.

Luke Latham pitched three innings as the Panthers were in a 2-2 deadlock and Fitzgerald took the loss with one inning on the mound.

Creston scored twice in the bottom of the third inning on an error and bases-loaded walk. The Panthers had no hits in the four-inning game.

“Their pitcher wasn’t that fast, but we just weren’t getting good swings,” said Creston coach Brandon Phipps,

as the Panther JV fell to 4-6.

“Sammi Long had a great game. She got a hold of a couple and hit her first career home run,” said Orient-Macksburg head coach Mike Cooley.

The Bulldog’s fifthplace game was against Melcher-Dallas. The Saints scored five runs in the second inning off of the Bulldog’s freshman pitcher, Kaela Eslinger. They tacked on another five runs in the fifth inning taking the contest by a final of 100. Eslinger gave up eight earned runs on 11 hits while fanning five batters.

“We need to concentrate on getting better each inning the rest of the season,”

said Cooley. “It was nice that they had to work to get their 10 runs on us this time.

We’re going to continue to get better, we are a young team.”

East Union Struggles East Union failed to win a game throughout the tournament falling to Diagonal, 5-3, in the opener.

The Eagles, who beat Orient-Mackburg earlier in the season, lost 8-3 in the first round of the consolation bracket. In their final game, the Eagles led 2-1 over Mormon Trail through three innings. Mormon Trail respond with a run in the fourth and the fifth inning to close the deal, 3-2.

We’re starting to come around, hopefully we can get there more consistently,” said Warren.

In the third-place game against Nodaway Valley, Diagonal pieced together a three-run fifth inning to cut its deficit to 5-3. An RBI single from Erin Sobotka, an RBI sac fly from Stormie Buchanan and an error brought the Maroonettes within two runs. That was as close as they would get before Nodaway Valley posted

G N I C RA Update

Kyle Larson outlasts Chase Elliott for second straight win at Michigan BROOKLYN, Mich.

(AP) – Three times Kyle Larson needed to outrace the rest of the contenders on late restarts.

That’s a task he’s proved he can handle at Michigan International Speedway.

Larson took control on a restart with five laps remaining and held off Chase Elliott on Sunday for his Larson second NASCAR Cup Series victory of the season. The finish was similar to the race at Michigan last August, when Larson took the lead on a restart with nine laps left en route to his first Cup win.

Larson won this year at Fontana and has five second-place finishes. He also was second in the All-Star Race, which doesn’t count in the standings.

“We’ve been so close to so many other wins,” the 24-year-old Larson said.

“This is our second Cup win of the year, but we’ve

had six second-place finishes. All in all, it’s a good season so far and we’ll continue to keep building on what we’ve got.”

“WE’VE been so close to so many other wins. This is our second Cup win of the year, but we’ve had six second-place finishes.”

KYLE LARSON NASCAR driver

It was the third Cup win of Larson’s career and 14th by Chip Ganassi Racing. Elliott was second in both Michigan races last year, and again Sunday.

He’s winless in 56 career Cup races, but he’s fifth in points in 2017.

“We had a couple of opportunities to get the lead, and unfortunately, it just didn’t work out, but we’ll move on. Congratulations to Kyle,” the 21-year-old Elliott said. “He had a fast

car today, and we’ll try to go get ‘em next week.”

Joey Logano finished t h i r d .

He beat Elliott in last June’s race at M I S .

Then Elliott was Logano leading the August race comfortably before a yellow flag gave Larson a boost.

This time, there were three cautions toward the end. The first was for debris, and Larson beat Kyle Busch on the inside for the lead on the restart with 15 laps to go.

Then Clint Bowyer went into the w a l l , bringing out another caution flag. Larson was first off that re- Bowyer start, too, only to be slowed by another caution after a multicar incident

“They’re both a lot of fun.”

From the front This was the fifth time in the past eight races at Michigan that the pole-winner also won the race. It has happened three times in the Cup series this year -- Larson also did it at Fontana, and Stenhouse pulled it off at Talladega last month.

Still, Larson didn’t feel he had the dominant car Sunday.

“The 78 [Truex] was by far the class of the field, I thought,” Larson said.

“I thought the 18 [Busch] was next best, the 20 [Matt Kenseth] was better than I was on the long run. I thought we were probably a third- or fourth-place car, and then to come out a winner, it makes it that much more exciting, I guess.”

Creston had seven hits in all, with Rice and Hagle combining for six of them, but the Panthers consistently put the bat on the ball consistently.

“For all of us to have quality at-bats, that’s what you need as a team,” Rice said.

“For everybody to be hitting and everybody to be involved like that.”

After a weekend playing against two of the state’s best teams at the Oskaloosa Tournament, playing a winless Clarinda team that Creston had already beaten left the Panthers feeling confident coming in.

“The reason we go up there is to see good people like that so when we get back here we play well and fight hard,” Rice said. “I think going up there and seeing those guys was real good and we played well and it all came together when we came back here.”

Iowa capital readies for Solheim Cup WEST DES MOINES (AP) — LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan described the crowds for the upcoming Solheim Cup as something that might be found at a football game mixed with a soccer match and a mixed martial arts bout.

Des Moines will settle for it being one of the biggest golf tournaments the city has ever seen.

The Des Moines Golf and Country Club held media day Monday for the Solheim Cup, the biennial tournament between U.S. and European women’s golfers. The event, to be held from Aug. 14-20, features four-ball, foursome and singles matches. It’s much like the Ryder Cup — and the enthusiasm fans show for the men’s event can often be mirrored during Solheim Cup play.

The Americans won in 2015, snapping a two-event winning streak for Europe.

“Golf is kind of dull,” U.S. captain Juli Inkster said. “I mean, it is. And everybody has to be quiet and hush hush. On the first tee (at the Solheim Cup), you have Europe (fans) singing songs, the United States (fans) singing songs. They’re very polite when you go to hit a shot. But beforehand, there’s a lot of cheering.”

While overall interest in the Solheim Cup isn’t quite as high the Ryder Cup, landing the event was a big deal for Des Moines, the Iowa capital that has recently started to attract bigger events.

The PGA Tour Champions series has hosted a tournament in Des Moines for nearly 20 years, and it’s routinely among the more well-attended events of the season. The state has also hosted annual NASCAR and IndyCar races at the nearby Iowa Speedway, which opened just over 10 years ago.

But the biggest coup was landing the NCAA men’s basketball tournament for the first time in 2016, which went so well that the NCAA awarded the city with first- and second-round games again in 2019.

The Solheim Cup will be the first LPGA sanctioned event in Iowa since 1966 and the first in the state capital since 1956, when the Western Open was held in Des Moines.

But the LPGA said that, so far, 71 percent of the tickets sold for the event have been for fans outside of Iowa. Though those numbers highlight the international appeal of the Solheim Cup, the LPGA clearly wants to see more locals commit to the tournament. Annika Sorenstam will serve as Europe’s captain.

“If you live within driving

distance of (the course) and you don’t come to the 2017 Solheim Cup, shame on you. A humungous mistake,” Whan said.
