Shiny countertops and rich wood cabinets form the kitchen at the newly constructed home located at 1700 W. Devoe St., in Creston. The home, built by Winterstien Construction, is one of eight homes in the Parade of Homes event scheduled for Saturday.

For those who love to dream and those who want to turn their dreams into reality, the Parade of Homes is a way to accomplish that.

The event, hosted by Southwest Iowa Homebuilder’s Alliance (SIHA), a nonprofit organization created to promote local companies and individuals involved in building.

“It’s an event that we as a Southwest Iowa Homebuilder’s Alliance put on every year to expose our wares and goods and expertise to the people of the area,” said Dave Long, president of SIHA. The Parade of Homes, which has a free admission, runs from 9 a.m. to

3 p.m. Saturday, and the houses are located across the city and occasionally out of town.

“This helps us, as well as our people that are subcontractors and our associates in the business,” Long said. “It just helps everybody promote their business and promote growth and, maybe, increase sales.”

About 300 people are expected to tour the eight homes on the list, which can also be found in the special section within today’s newspaper.

“There will be a lot of people coming and going,” Long said. “It gives them a chance to look, and, hopefully, if they decide to build or buy a new home, it’s done locally instead of outsourcing to someone else.”

The eight houses are: • 3231 Henry A. Wallace

Rd., by Brad Waltz Construction • 1700 W. Devoe St., by Winterstien Construction • 1444 Marks Way, by Winterstien Construction •1440 170th St., by American Homes by Dave Long • 310 S. Walnut St., by Habitat for Humanity volunteers • 403 S. Elm St., by Southwestern Community College • 405/407 S.

Students will now face the same repercussions for using a vape pen as they would for smoking a cigarette on school grounds, the Creston Community School District (CCSD) board approved 3-0 Monday.

A vape pen is similar to an electronic cigarette, and both are meant to be less harmful alternatives to smoking cigarettes.

“What we are doing is w e ’ r e dealing with it just like we do with cigarettes,” said Jeff Bevins, C r e s - Bevins ton High School activities director.

This is the primary change to the district’s 2016-17 Good Conduct Policy, which was approved as a whole during the meeting.

Consequences will be enforced for the use or possession of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes or vape pens, regardless of the student’s age.

Consequences for a student’s first offense may include suspension from the next athletic contest in which the student is involved and that takes place within the next 12 months. If the student is involved in other extracurricular activities, he or she will miss the next upcoming performance or contest

Voting “yes” on the decision were Don Gee, Galen Zumbach and Tom Eagan.

Absent were Brad James and Sharon Snodgrass.

O-M sharing update Right now, CCSD does some sharing with Orient-Macksburg Community School District. There has been discussion about furthering the sharing agreement.

“We did have a superintendents’ and presidents’ meeting with the O-M folks last Wednesday,” said Steve McDermott, CCSD superintendent.

“No decisions were made, and of course, they can’t be made.

The deci- McDermott sions need to be made by the entire boards. But, we discussed our current sharing agreements and considered additional potential sharing for this coming year and beyond.”

Crematory planned at Pearson Family Funeral Service

By JOEL LAMB

CNA staff reporter jlamb@crestonnews.com

The Creston City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a conditional use permit that will allow Pearson Family Funeral Service to construct a crematory building at 205 N. Sumner Ave. “Cremation is becoming a more popular alternative,” said Bruce Pearson, Pearson Family Funeral Service owner and funeral director. “It’s been

predicted that in the next 15 years, 75 out of 100 people will choose cremation, so we’re trying to be progressive.”

The crematory will stand independently from the current Pearson building, located at 809 W. Montgomery St. “The funeral home will not be connected,” said Pearson. “If a family doesn’t want someone to be cremated, their funeral will be conducted just the same as it has in the past.”

Pearson will construct the

new crematory building between the existing funeral home and the residence directly to its north. Pearson also hopes to expand the funeral home parking lot to the north and east of its current structure in order to accommodate future funeral needs, as well as services during the construction.

“Our plan is to construct a state-of-the-art facility that will only be operated by staff members who are trained and certified crematory operators,” Pearson said.

The plans for the crematory have already received the approval of the city planning and zoning commission.

“I went to the planning and zoning meeting, and it sounds very safe,” said Councilman Rich Madison. “They showed us the plans and everything.”

Impact of the new crematory on the surrounding neighborhood is expected to be minimal.

“There should be no noticeable emissions,” said Pearson. “I’ve had questions

On June 23, 2006, Gits Manufacturing employees, with assistance from Tim Kinkade on the tractor, reset the soldier statue that had been a memorial display in the company’s front yard at 1739 Commerce Road, visible from Highway 34. The employees then planted perennial bushes and flowers along with colorful annuals on the mound.

about smoke or odor, and the state-of-the-art equipment is designed to prevent that – no smoke, no odor.”

Councilman Dave Koets expressed interest in the physical appearance of the new building and how it would blend into the neighborhood along North Sumner Avenue.

“The new building would be 30 feet by 40 feet and have the same roof pitch as the northwest section (reception/community room) of the funeral home and look the same with close to the same colored siding,” Pearson said.

With the installation of the new crematory, Pearson Family Funeral Services will be able to offer an alternative option to traditional funerals which has been steadily growing in popularity.

According to the funeral home’s website, “Many people decide on cremation because it is a simple process that also offers many beautiful and dignified commemorative choices. In fact, there are as many memorial options for cremation families as for those who prefer traditional burial. The cremated remains may be buried with a

traditional graveside service, or scattered in a place that has special meaning.”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, June 23, 2016

The first week of summer is a hot one Summer just started on Monday of this week and boy it is shaping up to be a hot one. With heat indexes in the 100’s already, I’m afraid to see what they may be like come August.

I remember a couple of years ago we only had two days above 90 all summe. Half the days in June have been 90 or above. I guess it could be worse — the folks out West are seeing temps in the high teens. As in 117 degrees or more. The fires out in California and Arizona are eating lots of land and buildings. We’ve also been missing out on the rain with most of it going north and east of our area. We had a good start to the growing season. Let’s hope it keeps going.

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

in front of the Elm’s Club. The event is always a good time. I have fun looking at all the different kinds of motorcycles. Plus there is plenty of good music, food and refreshments.

Concert

The Party in the Park last Saturday at McKinley Park was a good time. I had the chance to meet all the bands that participated. Keith Anderson was a fun Bike Night and positive person to talk to.

This Friday is Bike Night down The group of guys from the Little

Texas band also were fun to talk with.

It was good to see they all were great about signing autographs and meeting with the local folks.

I’m sure the Parks Department appreciates all who helped out and attended.

Construction

here in Creston will still be on July 4. There will be music at the McKinley Park band shell starting at 1 p.m. The first-annual Uncle Sam Jam put together by Todd Kinkade will feature several local musicians. Check out the paper next week for the complete schedule.

I see that several streets will be under construction over the next few days. West Adams Street seems to be the main target with repairs being made by the bridge at McKinley and near the Highway 25 intersection. Slow down at all of these areas.

The fireworks Milne

A House divided (on gun control) cannot vacation The gun-control debate took a historic turn Wednesday, as Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives staged the first sit-in in Congress’ history, taking the floor of the House and demanding a vote on what is called the “no fly, no buy” restriction on gun purchases. This narrow provision would deny people on the federal “no-fly list” the ability to legally buy a gun. The protest was launched by Atlanta’s congressional representative John Lewis, the legendary civil-rights activist. “Sometimes you have to do something out of the ordinary. Sometimes you have to make a way out of no way,” Lewis said from the well of the House.

“There comes a time when you have to say something, when you have to make a little noise. This is the time.

Now is the time to get in the way.” He left the podium and, joined by many other members of Congress, gave new meaning to “speaking from the House floor” by sitting down in front of the podium and refusing to get up.

Both chambers of Congress have television cameras that feed the speeches from the floor directly to the national cable channel, C-SPAN. But the cameras are controlled by Republicans, and were turned off. At least two House members who participated in the sit-in provided live video streams of the protest speeches, using phones and social-media streaming video applications. C-SPAN, in its own form of protest, then picked up and broadcast these live streams, making the Republican-censored demand for gun control available to the TV-viewing public. “House cameras not permitted to show sit-in,” C-SPAN noted at the bottom of the screen.

“No bill, no break! No bill, no break,” the gathered Congress members chanted between speak-

ers, raucously breaking with traditional congressional decorum. One after another, members of Congress -- all Democrats -- rose to speak in support of a simple vote on the “no fly, no buy” provision, which Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., proposed as an amendment to a Homeland Security appropriation bill earlier Wednesday.

Like its counterpart in the Senate, proposed by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Lowey’s amendment was voted down by every member of the committee’s Republican majority. According to Lowey, the amendment would have given “the attorney general the authority to block the sale of firearms to known or suspected terrorists, if the attorney general has a reasonable belief that the firearm would be used in connection with terrorism.”

The Republican majorities in both the U.S House and Senate consistently parrot the National Rifle Association’s talking points. Paramount among the criticisms from the NRA is that innocent people might well be put on the terrorist watch list. “Protections should be put in place that allow law-abiding Americans who are wrongly put on a watch list to be removed,” stated Chris Cox, executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action. It is certainly admirable to raise the issue of these flawed “terror watch lists” and how people can get off them. But many Republicans are only raising the issue now for the first time, suggesting that all they care about is that the lists limit the number of people who can buy weapons.

Presidential showdown HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Donald Trump named noted ministers to his Faith Advisory Board to try to woo evangelicals to him. It’s an uphill fight.

On Tuesday, 1,000 evangelical ministers meeting in New York weighed the choice between Trump and Hillary and issued a statement announcing that God is Dead.

The Federal Election Commission reported Monday that Donald Trump has only a little over $1 million left in his campaign war chest. That’s $8 million less cash than the socialist has. The campaign was just kicked out of Trump Tower for embarrassing the other tenants.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton exchanged fire in their campaign speeches Wednesday.

He called her a liar, a traitor and a bribe taker and she called him a grifter, thief and an exploiter of the working class. It wasn’t on the Teleprompters, they were just reading each other’s business cards.

The White House ripped the GOP Senate Tuesday for failing to pass gun control in the wake of Orlando. It’s all relative. On the other hand, on Saturday a man tried to grab a cop’s gun to kill Donald Trump at a Vegas rally, and the White House issued a statement saying that boys will be boys.

Donald Trump said he found out on TV that a 19-year-old kid had tried to grab a cop’s gun at his Las Vegas speech and assassinate him. The scene was chaotic. He was angry and ranting and

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

arguing with voices in his head, but the Secret Service said it was their job to protect him anyway.

CBS This Morning co-host Norah O’Donnell interviewed Donald Trump on Wednesday about his plans for his first 100 days in the Oval Office. He did reveal that he and Melania will move Trump into the White House. He just turned 70, and that’s when a lot of couples start to downsize.

Secret Service agent Gary Byrne wrote a book about protecting the Clintons and wrote he once walked into the Oval Office and saw Bill Clinton having sex with Monica on the Oval Office desk. The desk was carved out of the old British warship the Resolute. It saw action in 1798, 1806 and 1998.

Tesla automobile founder and tech visionary Elon Musk announced Wednesday he wants to build a robot that can perform housecleaning chores. We can all see what’s coming next. Someday soon, Arnold Schwarzenegger will announce that he’s the proud father of a bouncing baby Roomba.

GOP former House Speaker Denny Hastert began serving his 15-month prison sentence

for money laundering to cover up his past molestation of boys.

He’s getting no special favors.

The judge denied Hastert’s last-minute request that he be allowed to serve out his time in Juvenile Hall.

Santa Barbara sheriffs were reported Tuesday to have found a trove of porn at the Neverland estate of Michael Jackson in a raid a dozen years ago. His mansion was a world shrine. The day Michael Jackson died dozens of kids gathered at the front gate, until the cops arrived and let them out.

Tennessee Congressional candidate Rick Tyler caused a flap by putting up a billboard reading Make America White Again.

Another of his billboards shows the White House surrounded by Confederate flags. O.J. Simpson just asked his parole board if they’d give him another couple of years.

Melissa Rivers will auction her mom Joan Rivers’ jewelry and furs at Christie’s Auction House in New York Friday. In addition, the late comedienne donated her five decades of TV monologue files to the Smithsonian Museum. Over the years, only the voters have sent more jokes to Washington.

Johnny Manziel reported to Dallas police Tuesday he was the victim of a hit-and-run accident in North Dallas. He’s still awaiting his trial for assault, partying, defying authority, and he’s lost two agents. About all he has left is an oil fortune and his degree in people skills from Trump University.

Finding fault Sid and Barney headed out for their usual nine holes of golf.

Sid said, “Let’s make the time worth the while, at least for one of us, and bet $5 on the lowest score for the day.”

Barney agreed and they enjoyed a great game. After the eighth hole, Barney was ahead by one stroke, but hit his ball into the rough on the ninth.

“Help me find my ball.

You look over there,” he said to Sid. After five minutes, neither had any luck, and since a lost ball carries a fourstroke penalty, Barney quietly pulled a ball from his pocket and tosses it to the ground.

“I’ve found my ball!”

Barney announced triumphantly.

Sid looked at him forlornly and said, “After all the years we’ve been friends, you’d cheat me in golf for a measly five bucks?”

“What do you mean cheat? I found my ball sitting right here!” said BarSunday, 8 a.m. Bible study; 9 a.m worship.

It’s so easy to point the finger at others when we’re guilty of the same thing.

That was the problem with the Pharisees. It wasn’t just their judgment, because some judgment is appropriate and necessary. The problem was the kind of judgment, their anxiousness to find fault in others while taking no time to examine their own lives.

And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye;’ and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite!

Fight the funky front-loader!

Dear Heloise: Having a front-loading washing machine, I have battled the FUNKY SMELL that can plague them. I’ve found that when I add white vinegar to the fabric-softener cup (instead of fabric softener) to all my loads, the odor disappears.

After all my wash is complete, to prevent mold buildup, I put a clean washcloth under the rubber flap in the front part of the seal to absorb moisture. Leaving the door open overnight also is helpful. – Linda A., Sacramento, Calif.

Linda, this is an ongoing debate in my column!

Readers either like their front-loaders, or they hate them! Your hints will help those who have problems with that funky smell. Vinegar to the rescue again. Love it! – Heloise

LONG-DISTANCE LOVE Dear Heloise: During a recent family event, my long-distance sister wanted to contribute both food and flowers. Her unique solution was to send coupons for quick meals and postage stamps printed with gorgeous flowers. Perfect!

– Phyllis B., Canandaigua, N.Y. It’s brilliant and caring.

Flowers are lovely, but they last only so long. Thanks for

Hints from Heloise sharing. – Heloise HAIR BEGONE Dear Heloise: I’m an older woman, and I’m concerned about facial hair. Do you or your readers know of safe ways to get rid of unwanted facial hair? – Ruth N., Colorado Springs, Colo.

Ruth, this is a problem for women of all ages. Let’s look at some options: 1. Tweezing. This is the best solution if you have a few stray hairs.

2. Waxing. Waxing is good for larger areas of the face. A professional is your best bet. This lasts the longest, just as it does on legs.

3. Trimming. Use a facial-hair trimmer (really just a female version of an electric shaver).

4. Shaving. Yes, women shave their faces, and there is nothing wrong with it!

And no, the hair WILL NOT grow back coarser.

5. Bleaching. Lightens hair and makes it less noticeable.

I hope one of these options will help. – Heloise EASY REACH Dear Heloise: I have a

Cleaver brings youthful passion to SWCC volleyball

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Youthful exuberance is just one thing that Aleesha Cleaver brings to the table as the new Southwestern Community College volleyball coach.

“I can’t think of anything better to do than to coach one of the sports that you love, so I just think that I’m in an unbelievable situation,” Cleaver. “I couldn’t ask for anything better and I’m just excited to get things going.”

That fiery passion permeates the attitude that helped endear Cleaver to SWCC athletics, who hired the fresh-out-of-college Cleaver.

“We first met her in the interview process you could tell she had a passion for intercollegiate athletics,” SWCC athletic director Todd Lorensxen said.

Lorensen was impressed by Cleaver’s maturity for someone who had just graduated college.

Cleaver is a lifelong athlete who excelled at three sports — basketball, volleyball and softball — in high school and has maneuvered between volleyball and basketball since college. After starting out with both hardwood sports at Roosevelt University in Chicago, Cleaver transferred to two-year school Rock

Valley College in Rockford, Illinois, where she played basketball.

While there, she coached the freshman-sophomore volleyball team at her hometown Cleaver high school, Dakota, Illiinois, and additionally Illini NW Volleyball Club.

After attaining her associate’s degree of arts from Rock Valley, Cleaver moved on to Upper Iowa to continue her basketball career. She maintained an exemplary presence in the classroom and worked toward a bachelor of science degree in business administration. Cleaver will be a Residents Director for the college.

With SWCC fielding a young roster of mostly local student-athletes, Cleaver feels confident that her background aligns well with the situation that she’s jumping into.

“I think that since I have had experience playing at the junior college level and I think I will be able to understand the kind of players that I’m going to be able to get and kind of relate to the players pretty well, and I think that’s going to be beneficial when it comes to recruiting,” Cleaver said. “I went to school in Iowa so I kind of get that small-town vibe, I understand that I’m from that same

thing, so I really think that in that sense I’ll be able to connect to a lot of the girls I’ll be recruiting.”

Faced with the challenge of moving forward with basketball or volleyball after Upper Iowa, Cleaver is just happy to be coaching right out of school.

“Coaching is my passion. I just know that this is what I was born to do. With that, I’m going to do everything I can, I’m going to give 110 percent to the team and hopefully receive that from the girls. I’m really excited, and I feel that with me being younger hopefully I can relate to them too.”

She will work with a program that has had notable historical success, but has been down over the last two years.

SWCC is coming off a 10-28 overall, 2-6 record in-conference season.

Lorensen believes that a combination of Cleaver’s passion, maturity, and relatability will mean great things for the program, and that the student-athletes will look up to Cleaver as a role model.

Though much of the focus on recruiting will remain local, Lorensen also highlighted the possibility of Cleaver recruiting outside of traditional areas for Creston volleyball, and maybe even back toward her home in Northern Illinois.

“If you can get local kids who are

good enough to win games, you want to do that... there has been great success with these local kids,” Lorensen said, He added, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.”

Cleaver has already communicated with some of the girls despite not relocating to Creston for good yet.

“I think the girls are really excited about it, and I think anything is possible when you get your own group of girls excited about playing…any given night anybody can win. So I think if you we keep that attitude, keep that spirit, and work hard I think anything is up for grabs and hopefully we can have a good season off of that.”

The path forward is still uncertain for the program. Cleaver and the athletic department are in the process of seeking out assistants for Cleaver. She also doesn’t have a specified game plan in mind for her team. Instead, she looks forward to playing to her team’s strengths and adjusting to that to field the best possible volleyball product.

“Everything is going to be off personnel,” Cleaver said. “It’ll change year by year and team by team because you’re going to have a different personnel year by year.”

Spartan volleyball may very well soon feel the impact of the passion that Cleaver brings to the table.

Red hot bats lead to Lenox softball win

BY RYAN KRONBERG, CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

LENOX—Lenox’s softball team ripped the ball up and down the lineup in Wednesday’s non-conference matchup against Fremont-Mills.

The Tigers pounded out 13 hits and took advantage of six Knights errors in a 12-2, five-inning win.

“We hit the ball pretty good,” said Lenox coach Tom Shields.

Lenox jumped out to a 4-0 lead after an inning. They added three more in the second.

Fremont-Mills cut into the lead with two in the third.

Lenox responded with three in the fourth, then ended the game with a run in the fifth.

Shantelle Brown was 3-for-4 with two runs batted in and three runs scored.

Jacy Stoaks had two hits and drove in two runs. Teya still was 2-for-4 with two runs batted in.

“The middle of the order has been carrying us,” Shields said.

Shields’ squad has seen its share of injuries this season, forcing different players to step up.

Wednesday’s key contribution came from Hannah Davis, who made her first start at second base. Davis also had a hit and scored a run.

“It seems like somebody new is stepping up every night,” Shields said. “This was Hannah Davis’ first start at second. She did a fine job.”

Lenox rode the hot offense to its fourth-straight victory.

The winning streak comes with the postseason rapidly approaching.

“This is a good stretch for us,” Shields said. “We’re trying to build that momentum towards the tournament.”

Manning shares humor, advice at All-Iowa Sports Awards I had no idea what to expect when the Des Moines Register announced its first All-Iowa Sports Award banquet to be held in conjunction with their new format for All-Iowa selections in athletics.

The newspaper’s coinciding banquet Saturday night was likewise first-rate.

It was organized and produced very much like the ESPYS telecast in July each year, which is designed to bring the best sports stories of the year together in one night. I was really impressed with the professionalism of the event, right down to the scheduled conclusion exactly at 9 p.m.

Three finalists for Player of the Year were announced for each sport, with corresponding graphics shown on the video board, and then the winner was brought to the stage to receive the trophy and say a few words. Likewise with the Coach of the Year, and Special Olympics winners.

There wasn’t time to announce everyone who received All-Iowa recognition during the past year (see related story), but they were included in the booklet at everyone’s seat in the Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center.

After a terrific meal, some of the awards were given out and then keynote speaker Peyton Manning was introduced by moderator Dallas Clark, former Hawkeye tight

end and a teammate of Manning’s at Indianapolis. Full disclosure, the main reason we purchased two tickets to the banquet was that my wife Deb is a huge Peyton Manning fan, and didn’t want to miss this opportunity to see him in person.

A bonus was getting to see recognition for local and area athletes and coaches. Among them, Creston’s Chase Shiltz, Mount Ayr’s Kyle Dolecheck, Lenox’s Spencer Brown and Nodaway Valley’s Destiny Scar were named All-Iowa in two sports.

Coaches Darrell Burmeister of Nodaway Valley and Southeast Polk’s Scott Belger (Creston graduate) were named Coach of the Year in boys cross country and baseball, respectively.

Clark conducted a question-and-answer discussion with Manning, who mixed in some humor as well as lessons for the young athletes and stories from his career.

Manning was a three-year starter at Newman High School in New Orleans, where his dad Archie was an NFL quarterback for the Saints. His sophomore year, 90 of his 120 completed passes were to

older brother Cooper, who earned a scholarship to Ole Miss. A spinal condition ended Cooper’s football career during his freshman year.

“The way Cooper handled his adversity really left an impact on me when I encountered my own

issues with injuries,” Manning said.

“He handled it with such a good attitude. He never said, why did this happen to me? From that point on, I knew that the game could be taken away from me at any time. So I treated every practice and every

game like it could be my last.”

When asked about his favorite memories, Manning didn’t refer to any particular season or any game. Instead, it was all about SHOTS | 8A

“One thing I’ll always cherish is having that bond with my teammates,” said Manning, who played at the University of Tennessee before earning Super Bowl titles with both the Colts and Broncos as a pro. “There’s a bond there that’s never taken away.

enjoy your friendships, because they’re special.”

Even though his father was an NFL quarterback and more qualified than most dads to work with sons developing in the sport, Peyton said Archie didn’t push anything on them. The fact that both Peyton and Eli became Super Bowl quarterbacks was on their own initiative, not dad’s.

“My parents were as surprised as anyone to have two sons who played professional football,” Manning said.

“That was never a goal or a mission. We loved sports. I was 8 years old when my dad retired from NFL football.

We grew up around football.

As we got into high school sports, his rule was, if we wanted his help we had to go to him and ask. He was not going to come to us and say, ‘Today we’re going to

run routes and do sprints.’

I think for that reason, Eli, Cooper and I always had a passion for sports. We loved it because it was fun.”

Advice heeded Those lessons made an impression on Creston’s Shiltz, who was honored as All-Iowa in both football and wrestling.

“It was cool seeing Peyton and Dallas Clark up there, talking and giving a lot of really good advice,” Shiltz said.

“He said to just do whatever you feel. He said his dad never made him do anything. He just did everything because he wanted to. I guess I’m going to use that as advice when I’m grown up with my kids.”

Manning’s advice to “enjoy the ride” of high school sports also resonated with Shiltz, a four-sport standout for the Panthers.

“That’s definitely something I want to remember from my last year in high school, just hanging with my teammates in the locker room before and after games,” Shiltz said. “There’s not a better feeling than when you’re in the locker room after winning a football game.”

Clark asked Manning about his acting experience, particularly in commercials and an infamous Saturday Night Live skit.

“In that spoof for United Way, they had me throwing footballs at kids,” Manning said. “People didn’t realize, it was a Nerf football.

Light as a feather. But when they had me throwing at the kids, and put sound effects with it, it was like I was just knocking those kids over! I thought, my mother is going to be so disappointed. The

Late Knights rally sinks Tigers SCORES: CONT. FROM | 7A

BY RYAN KRONBERG, CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

LENOX—Missed opportunities on the bases kept Lenox’s baseball team from breaking open Wednesday’s non-conference game against Fremont-Mills.

They would eventually come back to cost the Tigers.

Meanwhile, Fremont-Mills made the most of its opportunities in earning a 3-2 win.

The Knights scored all three runs in the sixth. The inning started with a base hit and a stolen base. A groundout moved the runner to third. An error kept the inning going, allowing the first run to score.

Later in the inning, an error allowed the go-ahead run to score.

“We should’ve won that,” said Lenox coach Jesse Cox. “We’ll learn from that.

Hopefully you learn from them.”

In the seventh, Lenox had runners at first and second, courtesy of a hit and a hit-batsman.

Fremont-Mills pitcher Jacob Jenkerson picked up a strikeout looking to end the

game wiith the winning run left at first base.

The Tigers had baserunners in each of the seven innings, but only had two runs to show for it.

“We missed opportunities earlier in the game,” Cox said. “We had guys miss signs. We had a couple base running errors. We had guys taking called third strikes.

That’s where it was lost.”

Tigers pitcher Aaron Schmitz gave a solid effort.

He walked four and struck out five.

“Aaron did what we asked him to do,” Cox said. “We didn’t play behind him as clean as we should’ve.”

Lenox fell to 9-8. The Tigers are back on the diamond tonight hosting Southwest Valley in Pride of Iowa Conference play.

CHICAGO (AP) — When the St. Louis Cardinals arrived at Wrigley Field for a three-game series, manager Mike Matheny shook off questions about their 12 1/2-game deficit to the surging Cubs by insisting he avoids looking at the standings.

“It’s just not allowing me to fall into the trap, the trap of either being content

or being overwhelmed,” Matheny said.

Three games later, Cardinals showed the NL Central may not be sewn up just yet.

Michael Wacha pitched into the seventh inning for his first win in nearly two months and the Cardinals waited out Jake Arrieta before roughing up Chicago’s bullpen in a 7-2 victory over the Cubs on Wednesday.

Aledmys Diaz hit a tworun home run, and Matt Carpenter had a two-run double in a five-run sixth after Arrieta (11-2) departed. The Cardinals won their eighth straight road game — their longest streak since 1982 — and completed their first three-game sweep at Wrigley Field since 1988.

“This is a big series for us,” Carpenter said.

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, June 23, 2016

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

Kelly and Jeff?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves How long does the Kyle Busch slump last?

GODSPEAK: It’s about to be replaced with a Kyle Busch winning streak.

KEN’S CALL: Four straight finishes of 30th or worse?

It either ends soon or he’ll remember how to explode on those around him.

Tony Stewart was 7th at Michigan. Good sign?

GODSPEAK: “Smoke” is the only driver I see stopping Kyle Busch at Sonoma.

KEN’S CALL: Of course it was a good sign, but he needs more, and soon.

Any chance of a surprise winner at Sonoma?

GODSPEAK: Tony Stewart is my top pick for a surprise.

Keep an eye on Michael McDowell.

KEN’S CALL: I’m sticking with my Chase Elliott pick.

Remember, his dad’s first win was at a road course.

There’s a little buzz going around that Jeff Gordon could be among the candidates to replace Michael Strahan as Kelly Ripa’s permanent co-host on the syndicated “Live With Kelly and (whomever)” show. You know, the seat made famous by Regis Philbin. It would be a great gig in one way — Jeff could practically walk to work from his Manhattan apartment. But five mornings a week?

Year-round? Compared with just fourplus months of weekend duties with Fox, that sounds too much like work.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED IN THE OFF WEEK 1. Less is more

What’s Kez thinking?

NASCAR is mulling less downforce for its 2017 Cup Series aero package. It tested a less-downforce setup at Michigan, with mixed results.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. said, “I think we talk about packages too much.” Of course, he had just been in an aero-related crash.

One never knows. Most likely, Brad Keselowski was just trying to scratch a mild itch last week when he turned some laps in an IndyCar at Road America in Wisconsin. He has access to such a test session due to his Roger Penske employment. He seemed to enjoy it, but he might not like it as much on an oval at 220 mph when surrounded by competitors but very little sheet metal.

2. Jeff's name floated

Will it be eight straight?

There is a report floating around that Jeff Gordon is being considered as Kelly Ripa’s partner on the popular morning show “Live.”

According to TVLine.com, Gordon is on the “short list” of candidates. He has been a guest co-host nine times and appeared on “Saturday Night Live” once.

If my Chase Elliott pick comes through, yes. The past seven Cup races have seen seven different winners. It might be good to spread the champagne around, but without someone acting dominant, it makes it tough to plant a guy up front in our weekly top-10 rankings.

3. Real standings NASCAR This Week runs the top-30 points standings every week, but the real standings (based on wins) has Kyle Busch at the top followed by Brad Keselowski, Carl Edwards and Jimmie Johnson. Rookie

FEUD OF THE WEEK

— Godwin Kelly, godwin. kelly@news-jrnl.com

3 THINGS TO WATCH 1. IndyKez Nobody expects Brad Keselowski to abandon his ride in the No. 2 Team Penske Ford in the NASCAR Cup Series, but the 32-year-old driver took a test drive in an IndyCar Series car at Road America, located in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. It was an offer “Kez” could not refuse. The 2012 Cup Series champion called it a chance to “dip his toes” in the water. “It was a heck of an opportunity,” he said.

2. Fox hole Sunday’s Toyota Save Mart 350 will be the last NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race broadcast by Fox Sports this year.

Fox will pass the broadcasting baton to NBC Sports beginning

RYAN BLANEY VS. RICKY STENHOUSE JR.: Stenhouse cut in front of Blaney at Michigan, and the aerodynamic effect caused Blaney’s No. 21 Ford to crash heavily into the outside wall.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Blame the new aero package. Blaney did at Michigan. “(Stenhouse) came across my nose super-fast; it completely took all the traction off my car; I slid all the way to the fence,” he said.

Brad Keselowski doesn’t plan to leave his boys at the No. 2 Team Penske Ford team to make the jump into IndyCar Series racing any time soon.

3. Multiple winners Sonoma Raceway has produced a bevy of different race winners in the past

decade. Since 2005, only Kyle Busch has won the race twice.

He scored a win there in 2008 and returns as the defending race champion. Other drivers to win at Sonoma include Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Juan Pablo Montoya, Kasey Kahne, Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr. and Carl Edwards.

So it was worth the trumpeting this week when the PR folks at Sonoma spread the word that Save Mart Supermarkets will celebrate 25 years as sponsor of the annual road-course race in California’s wine country.

Winners in Money Smart Week Poster Contest receive new Amazon tablets The three local winners in this year’s Money Smart Week Poster Contest were recently announced.

The local poster contest – sponsored by First National Bank, ISSB, PCSB Bank and Community Bankers of Iowa – is part of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s Money Smart Week events, April 23-30. The poster contest received more than 180 submissions for judging this year from students in grades two through five at the following schools: Creston Elementary, St. Malachy, Mayflower Heritage Christian and East Union.

Local winners were all fifth-graders and included Draven Moore and Abbie Wuebker of East Union and Caitlin Bruce of Creston. Each won a new Amazon Fire HD6 tablet.

Draven is the son of Michelle and Darren Moore, Abbie is the daughter of Emily Wuebker and Randy Wuebker and Caitlin is the daughter of Callie and Mike Bruce.

On these posters, students answered the question: “Why is it important to know about money?” All submissions were evaluated on the overall message, creativity and workmanship.

All three banks sponsoring this event believe one of the most important life skills children need to learn is how to manage money.

The habits and know-how kids develop while growing up could lead to a life of financial security. During judging, bank representatives found it rewarding to see students’ ideas regarding how to save money and also realizing the difference between needs and wants.

The banks have been involved with Money Smart Week and the poster contest since 2012. For more information on Money Smart Week, visit www.moneysmartweek.org.
