ISTANBUL (AP) — Suicide attackers armed with guns and bombs killed 41 people and wounded hundreds at Istanbul’s busy Ataturk Airport, apparently targeting Turkey’s crucial tourism industry. The government blamed the attack on Islamic State extremists but there was no immediate confirmation from the group.

Travelers and airport workers described scenes of chaos Tuesday night as gunfire and explosions sent fleeing crowds first in one direction, then another.

Airport surveillance video posted on social media appeared to show the moment of one explosion, a ball of fire that sent terrified passengers racing for safety. Another appeared to show an attacker, felled by a gunshot from a security officer, blowing himself up seconds later. A growing stream of travelers, some rolling suitcases behind them, fled down a corridor, looking fearfully over their shoulders.

“Four people fell in front of me. They were torn into pieces,” said airport worker Hacer Peksen.

The victims included at least 23 Turkish citizens and 13 foreigners. The death toll excluded the three bombers, who arrived in a taxi and eventually blew themselves up after coming under fire, according to the government, though there were conflicting reports about exactly where they detonated their explosives.

The Istanbul governor’s office said more than 230 people were wounded. Hundreds of passengers who fled the airport in fear were left sitting on the grass outside Tuesday night.

By midday Wednesday, the Islamic State group had not claimed responsibility for the attack, although it did issue an infographic celebrating two years since announcing a caliphate. It claimed to have “covert units” in Turkey, among ATTACK | 2A

Shown receiving a $3,200 grant are The Learning Center of Southwest Iowa (TLC) Executive Director Daniell Bargstadt and her daughter Olivia, TLC Board Members Kathy Ralston and Dave Beck, McDonald’s General Manager Lisa Hanson, McDonald’s Owner Dave Roberts, Ronald McDonald House (RMH) Chair for Grant Committee Kathy Layton and RMH Executive Director Brenda Miller.

DES MOINES – The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Iowa (RMHC) has announced funding recipients for this year’s grant program. The Learning Center of Southwest Iowa located in Creston has received $3,200 for the curriculum expansion for the Behavioral Health Intervention Services program.

Every year, RMHC of Central Iowa distributes more than $20,000 in grants to central Iowa 501(c)(3) children’s charities. The goal of the RMHC of Central Iowa Grant Program is to find and support programs that directly improve the health and wellbeing of children in central Iowa. “We not only try to improve the health and well-being of children directly through our core programs, but we also work with non-profit organizations throughout central Iowa that are making an immediate, positive impact on children who need it most,� said Brenda Miller, executive director

of RMHC. “Grants to these organizations extend the reach and impact of RMHC of Central Iowa and move donation dollars quickly through local charities in their time of need.�

RMHC, a nonprofit corporation, provides and supports programs that directly improve the health and well being of children. The core services are the Ronald McDonald House in downtown Des Moines and the Ronald McDonald Family Room located inside Des Moines’ Mercy Hospital. These facilities provide a “home away from home� for families of seriously ill children receiving treatment in area hospitals.

Each year, RMHC provides lodging and meals to more than 700 families from 73 counties throughout central Iowa. Families can stay at no cost for as long as their need exists. All RMHC-supported programs provide access to quality health care and give children and families the time they need together to heal faster and cope better.

other places, according to the SITE Intelligence Group.

Funerals for some victims began Wednesday as Turkish authorities tried to piece together how the attack happened, going through surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses to establish a preliminary timeline.

The HaberTurk newspaper reported that one attacker blew himself up outside the terminal, and two others opened fire near the X-ray machines. The report said an attacker was shot at while running amid fleeing passengers, then blew himself up at the exit. It said the third attacker went up one level to the international departures terminal, was shot by police and detonated his explosives.

Leonard placed first in the nation in electrical construction wiring, and Woods placed 13th in automotive refinishing.

It was not clear if any attackers were on the loose.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said there were no immediate indications of that. “So, what can we think?

We cannot think anything,� said Ali Batur, whose brother died. “A terror attack might happen everywhere, it happens everywhere. ... If God permits, we will get over this in unity and solidarity.�

As dawn broke over the destroyed terminal, workers began removing debris from the blast. The airport reopened Wednesday morning, in sharp contrast to the 12-day complete shutdown in Brussels after the deadly airport bombing there. An information board inside showed about one-third of scheduled flights were canceled and a host of others were delayed, Yildirim said it appeared

close with all the competitors.

I was just hoping I would get in the top 10. It was a good learning experience and just a really good opportunity, and I thank SWCC, the administration and my instructor for allowing me to get there.�

Bonneville said this is the first time any of the technical programs at SWCC have taken first in the nation. “And, I’m a first-year instructor to boot, so that’s an interesting note,� Bonneville said.

As a national winner, Leonard walked away with a gold medal and collection of new tools donated by a variety of companies that sponsor SkillsUSA. “I got power tools, hand tools – I don’t know a dollar amount, but they were pretty generous,� he said.

Leonard recently accepted a position with Munyon Plumbing and Heating in Kellerton. “This year, I already had a job, but last year, (SkillsUSA) really got me out there,� Leonard said. “I placed 12th at nationals, so

people kind of knew what I was capable of doing in the electrical field, and it looked really good on a rÊsumÊ.�

that the Islamic State group, which has threatened Turkey repeatedly, was responsible. “Even though the indications suggest Daesh, our investigations are continuing,�

Yildirim said, using shorthand for the Islamic State group. He also suggested the attack could be linked to steps Ankara took Monday toward mending strained ties with Israel and Russia.

Turkey has suffered a series of attacks of increasing frequency that have scared away visitors and devastated its economy, which re-

lies heavily on tourism. The country is a key partner in the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State group and a NATO member.

Islamic State offered no immediate claim of responsibility, but the extremist group rarely does for attacks in Turkey. One possible reason is a reluctance to be seen as killing fellow Muslims; another is its desire to exploit the violent rift between Turkey and Kurdish rebels, said Anthony Skinner, director of the analyst group Verisk Maplecroft.

Woods earned her diploma in auto collision repair/ refinish in 2015 and Associate of Applied Science degree in auto collision repair/refinish from SWCC in May. At SkillsUSA nationals, Woods placed 13th out of about 30 contestants. “Anybody who hasn’t been able to go, I would highly suggest trying to get into SkillsUSA,� Woods said. “It’s fun, and you really get to see what you’re made of. Since they are timed events, you only have so long to do something.�

Right now, Woods is job-searching. She plans to take a job in either refinishing or estimating and insurance. “SkillsUSA helped me get job opportunities. I talked to State Farm and the Women’s Industry Network while I was down there, and they’re helping me with opportunities,�

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, June 29, 2016

Congress is out BEVERLY HILLS — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Speaker Paul Ryan adjourned Congress for its two-week Independence Day holiday Thursday after a Democratic sit-in over gun legislation halted all House business for 17 hours. It’s just amazing. Leave it to Congress to find the solution to a work stoppage by taking a two-week break.

The Cleveland Cavaliers victory parade was an epic day for LeBron James Monday. He’d left his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers to play for Miami before returning to the Cavs two years ago. LeBron James secured his place in history by becoming the first person ever to move back to Cleveland.

California is hosting a worldwide business forum where business executives will try to expand markets and increase profits. A video from China shows a corporate motivational coach spanking Chinese bank employees for

substandard work. It looks like Hillary has found her Treasury Secretary.

Donald Trump repeated his vow to deport illegal immigrants and require that they re-enter the U.S. legally on Thursday. The presumptive GOP nominee sees himself as man of action. There are 11 million illegal immigrants now living in America and Trump wants to nip this thing in the bud.

Great Britain held a national referendum on staying in the European Union or exiting the EU Thursday and voted to leave.

The hot issue is immigration control. It didn’t help when Donald Trump arrived in Scotland on Election Day and vowed to deport all the immigrants he doesn’t marry.

GOP Governor Rick Scott filed a suit against the U.S. for refusing disaster funds to help victims in the Orlando gay nightclub shooting because the feds say it’s for natural disasters. Now that’s comedy. Republicans can’t get the money unless they can prove that men dancing together is natural.

Donald Trump drew praise from Republican leaders for sticking to the script in a well-written speech ripping Hillary Clinton on Wednesday.

It’s his new so- Trump briety. In order to stay on message, Trump’s agreed to go to Ad Lib Anonymous Meetings, sticking to the Teleprompter one day at a time Hillary Clinton was endorsed

by Republican establishment titan Brent Scowcroft who served as National Security Advisor un-

der President George HW Bush.

His vote is no predictor. Saddam Hussein was a CIA plant until Scowcroft advised we could be in and out of Iraq in about three weeks.

Donald Trump caused eyes to roll in a speech to evangelical leaders Wednesday when he said no one knows about Hillary’s faith, when evangelicals all know she’s Methodist. It would help if Trump knew. During the Prayers of the People Methodists still pray for the health of King George III. Secret Service agent Gary Byrne says he twice caught Bill Clinton having sex on White House desks. A recent poll showed Jack Kennedy and Bill Clinton are our two favorite presidents since World War II. Apparently, Americans prefer sports where the stars get to use their hands on the field.

Leave It to Beaver star Tony Dow was surprised Thursday

when his very first car was returned to him in mint condition 50 years after Tony sold it. It was a Corvair. Later, Larry King walked outside to see his first chariot on the driveway, complete with its Eat My Dust Pharaoh bumper sticker.

The Supreme Court ruled against President Obama Thursday with a tie vote that means his executive order shielding illegal immigrants from deportation can’t go forward. Illegal aliens told CNN that they’re determined to remain in America and live free. Now all they have to do is qualify for disability.

President Obama hissed the Supreme Court ruling Thursday, saying every American descends from immigrants. Any Indian will tell you that’s insane. Anglo-Saxons no more emigrated to America than the German Army periodically emigrates to France and Belgium looking for a better way of life.

Mindless chit chat From Birdie Sandeman Creston

Mindless chit chat or we’re sorry that number has been disconnected or born on the 13th with a loose connection.

Miraculously, I’ve finally reached that magical age where I can’t hear, can’t see, can’t chew, can’t remember, can’t lose weight, can’t think and really don’t care.

Ever had days like this? - If not, they’re coming.

Bend over to pick up scrap miss the waste basket.

Cat misses litter box.

Call a wrong number twice.

Wash Kleenex with dark clothes.

Drop everything.

Out of toilet tissue at 2 a.m.

Everyone calls when not at home.

Fear of the inevitable on X-ray table or dentist chair.

Guests all come at the same time.

Phone rings and repair man shows.

Entertainment for summer is checking the rain gauge.

Always order wrong entree.

Sneezing and no tissue.

Dribbling first bite on new apparel.

Calling old friend wrong name.

Get out the swatter and fly disappears.

Accidentally spitting on newly met friend.

Pick up phone to change channels.

Finish a day’s work just thinking about it.

No one calls when I’m home.

Extra strong nose tissue like blowing nose through a cobweb.

Remember when TV ads were all soap, toothpaste and Mrs. Olson.

Dust once a year whether it needs it or not.

Always ending up with one sock.

Social life gone from wedding to funerals to grocery store.

Cell phones addictive as tobacco.

For Christmas, kids used to get me candy, flowers or clothes.

Now it just Depends.

Send a man to the moon but toe jam eludes them.

Garage sales are buying someone else’s junk.

Newly formed ladies club spent entire meeting deciding when to meet again.

Had lots of good repair men trouble is, they all wanted money.

TV just mindless chit chat, but never give up, miracles do happen!

A vote for self-government Democracy is too important to be left to the people.

That is the global elite’s collective reaction to Britain’s vote to exit the European Union, which is being portrayed as the work of ill-informed xenophobes who never should have been entrusted with a decision of such world-historical importance.

Judging by their dismissive tone, critics of Brexit believe that the EU’s lack of basic democratic accountability is one of its institutional advantages — the better to insulate consequential decisions from backward and shortsighted voters.

The opiate of the Western political class is cosmopolitanism, making it almost impossible for elites to understand the Brexit vote on its own terms.

Britain gave us Magna Carta and such foundational thinkers on the road to democratic rule as John Locke, Algernon Sidney and John Milton. It resisted centralizing monarchs in the turbulence of the 17th century, and defeated continental threats to its sovereignty emanating from Spain (King Philip II), France (Napoleon) and Germany (Hitler).

Should it be shocking that it said “no thanks” to continuing to subsume itself in a budding European superstate?

Maintaining British sovereignty, broadly construed, was the overwhelming rationale for Brexit. According to a survey by Lord Ashcroft Polls, 49 percent of leave voters said the biggest reason for exiting the EU was “that decisions

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

about the U.K. should be taken in the U.K.” Another 33 percent said it was the best way to regain power over the U.K.’s borders, and 13 percent said they worried the U.K. couldn’t control how the EU “expanded its membership or its powers.”

All the critics of Brexit see in the vote, though, is hostility to immigrants. There is no doubt that immigration played a large role.

But a country controlling its own borders is a necessary element of sovereignty. The foreign-born population of Britain has doubled in the past 20 years, with the government powerless to stop much of the influx. It, self-evidently, should be the right of the British people to decide whether they want less or more immigration.

A constant refrain of Brexit critics is that leaving the EU was much too complex and important an issue to put to a referendum.

But at bottom the question was simple: Shall parliament remain the supreme lawmaking body in Britain or not? This is a foundational decision that it makes sense to put directly before the voters.

Princeton historian David Bell is a critic of government by referenda, but has noted how referenda are appropriate when fundamental constitutional questions are at

stake: “They represent instances when sovereign power, always ultimately held by the people, but mediated by constitutional structures, temporarily reverts to the people directly, so that they can modify or replace these structures.”

The British people voted to reject the EU superstructure that had been hoisted on top of their traditional political institutions.

The vote roiled the markets, and another theme of Brexit critics is that leave voters now regret their temper tantrum. But a poll for the Sunday Mirror newspaper found that 92 percent of leave voters were happy with the outcome of the referendum.

There may indeed be an economic cost to Brexit, but politics isn’t reducible to a stock index — something that Americans, having once made their own tumultuous exit from an offshore power, should reflexively understand.

“You are not to inquire how your trade may be increased, nor how you are to become a great and powerful people, but how your liberties can be secured,” Patrick Henry declared during a 1788 debate over ratifying the Constitution, “for liberty ought to be the direct end of your Government.”

In the Brexit vote, a free people insisted, despite the risks, that they will govern themselves. That is an admirable thing, made even more stirring by the fact that the great and good regard the move with such bemusement and derision.

Gravy cooks in new directions Dear Heloise: I hated the directions for COOKING GRAVY MIXES, starting in cold water and constantly stirring until done. Now, for a 1-cup package, I put 3/4 cup water in a pan to boil. Meanwhile, I dissolve the mix in 1/4 cup cold water, add this to the boiling water and stir constantly. The gravy is done in less than a minute.

I also make a substitute white sauce from a 2-cup package of country-gravy mix. I bring 1 1/2 cups water to boil, dissolve the mix in 1/2 cup milk and stir into the boiling water until thickened. Then I add 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter. – Carol M., Colorado Springs, Colo.

Horoscope For Thursday, June 30, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today starts out with financial promise and good feelings at work. However, issues at home and with family members will be intense and emotional.

Caution.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)You’re in a good mood this morning, because the Moon is in your sign dancing with lucky Jupiter. Just remember to keep things mellow, especially when talking to siblings and relatives. (People are demanding.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) On the whole, this is a feelgood day when dealing with others. However, disputes about money and possessions might arise, especially if jealousy is in the picture.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Relations with others, especially romantic relationships, will be passionate and intense today. Some of you will fall in love with someone because it’s simply irresistible. (Cary Grant, where are you?)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You make a great impression on bosses and authority figures today. Do not let something brewing behind the scenes mar your good judgment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) If you can travel today, you will enjoy doing so. Meanwhile, relationships with a friend might feel super-important today. Take it easy; this is a passing thing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be diplomatic talking to parents, bosses and the police today, because issues seem to be do or die -- very important.

Don’t let your passions make you forget your main objective.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Be cooperative with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign; you have no choice. It would be wise to avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Disputes about shared property, inheritances and anything you own jointly with others will be intense today. Likewise, any romantic involvement will be intense!

(That’s putting it mildly.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Obscure conflicts might arise today between you and your partner or close friend. Be careful not to let hidden resentments flare up and ruin a good relationship.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A work-related romance or crush might begin for some of you today. If so, this new relationship will be compulsive in nature. Oh yeah.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a hot and heavy day for romantic partners. However, creative, artistic people will feel just as passionate about whatever it is they’re doing.

YOU BORN TODAY You have excellent money savvy.

(Often, this is connected to a particular technical skill.)

Something you’ve been

involved with for about nine years will end or diminish now to make room for something new this year. Although this will be a year of service to others, it is also a great year to travel. Get ready for a fresh, new cycle waiting in your future!

Panther softball powers past Tigers Home runs by Josie Sickels, Hagle, lead Panthers to win n

By RYAN KRONBERG

CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — Creston sophomore Chloe Hagle turned on a pitch in the fifth inning of Tuesday’s Hawkeye 10 softball game.

The ball jumped high and far off the bat, carrying deep into an early Iowa summer’s night and over the fence for her first varsity home run.

Hagle and the Panthers pounced on pitches they liked all night long as Creston routed Red Oak 11-1 in five innings.

“It was really exciting,” she said.

“I felt like I squared it up right. It was an inside pitch, so I drove it to the right side.”

Hagle drove in three with the blast and helped secure the early night as Creston scored five in the fifth.

“It was nice to see the kids do a good job of being patient,” said Creston coach Mike McCabe. “They weren’t afraid to get two strikes and they still had the confidence.”

Hagle finished the game with a nice sliding catch on a pop out behind the plate to end the game in the fifth with a runner at second base.

“I didn’t have time to get my helmet off so I just had to go get it.”

The Panthers moved to 14-4 in the Hawkeye 10 with a dominating win.

“Coach said to get our sassy pants on that’s what we did,” Hagle said.

“We came out here. We showed them what we could do.”

Josie Sickels started the game with a base hit and later scored as part of a two-run first inning.

“Josie set the tone there with a big base hit to start it off,” McCabe said.

“It was nice to get two runs up there early. That relaxes everybody.”

Sickels added to the offense in the fourth when she turned on a pitch for a three-run home run.

“She’s a strong little kid,” McCabe said. “She hit the ball hard and it stayed fair long enough.”

Alli Thomsen had three hits and drove in two. Lexie Little had three hits and drove in a run. Jami Sickles and Saige Rice each had a hit and scored twice.

Creston started the week with as good of a start as it could have asked for.

“We told the kids in the circle beforehand that you’ve got to bring the same attitude and intent you had Saturday,” McCabe said. “We were focused and ready in those games.

They’re just very good teams. We have to bring that same attitude and intent to all games from here on

out.”

Panther pitcher Taylor Briley dominated in the circle. She allowed only two hits, one earned run, walked two and struck out seven.

Creston, 19-10, is back on the diamond Thursday at Atlantic in a Hawkeye 10 Conference doubleheader.

“We’ve got to think about our next game. We’ve got Atlantic,” Hagle said.

The JV won 14-0.

Creston scored nine in the first and five in the second.

Mattie Wheeler was 3-for-3 with two RBIS. Morghan Frey drove in three. Morgan Shawler was 2-for-2 with three runs batted in.

Hulett, Panthers shut down Tigers

By RYAN KRONBERG Hulett said.

CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — Creston junior Kadon Hulett has worked to refine how he delivers the baseball from the mound to the plate.

The shift in his arm motion helped Hulett overpower Red Oak’s batters during Tuesday’s Hawkeye 10 baseball game.

Hulett could not be touched as the Panthers rolled to a 13-0, six-inning win.

Hulett struck out 13 and allowed only one hit, an infield single in the fourth. He gave up two walks, allowing free passes in the second and third.

Hulett dominated so much so that Red Oak did not have a baserunner reach second base.

“I’ve been trying to focus on my mechanics a lot more,” Hulett said. “I was focusing a lot more on getting over the top. I was sagging my arm a lot. It was not allowing me to get the velocity I can get on and throw as well as I can. I did better tonight.”

He was so effective he barely broke a sweat.

“That’s the best I’ve felt before the game and during the game the whole year,”

Hulett started the count ahead of most batters.

“He was very effective,” said Creston coach Steve Birchard. “We talked about being ahead after the first three pitches and he did that a lot.”

Creston’s offense broke free in the second with a four spot. Hulett and Brenden McDowell singled. Dustin Merritt sacrificed, but an error on the play allowed two runs to score. Beau Barncastle’s two-run single capped the inning.

“We started a little slow,” Birchard said. “That’s what we’ve got to do is be patient, make him throw a lot of strikes, make him throw a few more pitches than he wanted to.”

The Panthers added a run in the fourth to chase Tigers starter Isaac Bower.

Barncastle singled and later scored on a Cody Crawford sacrifice fly.

Merritt started the fifth with a double, then scored when Michael Scherer reached on a fielders choice.

A Jaden Driskell infield single scored two runs.

McDowell singled to start the sixth, followed by walks to Gavin Woods and Barncastle to load the bases. After a fielder’s choice ground ball

by Scherer cut down a run at the plate, Crawford helped ensure an early ending with a bases-clearing double. He later scored when Driskell reached on an infield single.

Crawford had looked poor in his first two at bats, both strikeouts.

“It was good to see him pick them up,” Birchard said.

Creston improved to 1210 overall and 10-7 in the Hawkeye 10.

The Panthers travel to Atlantic Thursday in a Hawkeye 10 matchup.

“That’s a big one to see if we can get a second one from them in the conference, see if we can move up,” Birchard said.

JV: Creston 18, RO 2

The Panthers scored 13 runs in the first inning.

“We were hitting the ball well,” said JV coach Brandon Phipps. “We had some walks. We took advantage of what we had getting baserunners on.”

REGULAR MEETING OF THE CRESTON CITY COUNCIL JUNE 21, 2016 The Creston City Council met in regular session at 6:00 o'clock p.m. on the above date in the Council Chambers of the City Hall Complex with Mayor Lybarger presiding.

Roll call being taken with the following Council members present: Wintermute, Koets, Wilson, Carroll and Madison.

Nielsen was absent and Ward 1 is vacant.

Motion was made and seconded to approve the agenda. All voted aye. Nielsen was absent and Ward 1 is vacant. Motion carried.

Motion was made and seconded to approve the consent agenda, which included approval of minutes of June 7, 2016, regular meeting; claims of $182,632.76 and fund transfers of $114,389.95; liquor license renewals for Elks, Elm's Club (temp Outdoor Service), The Lobby (permanent Outdoor Service) and A&G; cigarette permit renewal for Elm's Club; amusement permit renewals for Backdoor Restaurant & Lounge and Elm's Club. All voted aye.

Nielsen was absent and Ward 1 is vacant.

Motion carried.

During Public Forum, Sharon Parkison, Postmaster for the Creston Post Office, asked Council for their support for the US Postal Service to install Cluster Box Units (CBUs) in the Uptown area. In light of today's changing mail mix, there are new and more convenient ways to receive mail and packages that enhance the customer's convenience. This would also be very cost effective for the Postal Services. Current businesses will still receive mail at their location, unless they choose to use the Cluster Box Units. For new businesses coming in, the use of Cluster Box Units would be required. The Postal Services will cover the cost of the box units.

Dennis Hopkins, 905 W. Townline, expressed his concern with the Casey's store that may be built directly across the street from him being open on a 24 hour basis and feels the Council should rezone the area with a time limit on the hours of operation.

Mayor Lybarger announced that he has assigned Councilperson Rich Madison to be Mayor Pro-tem.

Mayor Lybarger announced that now is the time for a Public Hearing on the matter of a conditional amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. Wally Pelds, of Pelds Engineering in Des Moines, spoke in favor of the conditional amendment. There was one written letter from Dan McIntosh, on behalf of his parents, in favor of the conditional amendment read by City Clerk Lisa Williamson. Mary White, 804 W. Prairie Street, spoke against the conditional amendment. There was no written correspondence against the conditional amendment. He then called the Public Hearing to a close.

Wintermute moved seconded by Wilson to Establish the First Reading of Ordinance No. 16 - 170 - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF CRESTON, IOWA, 1996, BY AMENDING CHAPTER 166.02 - PROVISIONS PERTAINING TO GRANTING ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS FOR PROPERTY IDENTIFIED IN EXHIBIT A.

Lenox offense ignites in 8-6 victory over Mount Ayr

By LARRY PETERSON Shields each had a double CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

LENOX — Lenox pounded out 12 hits — four for extra bases — in holding off Mount Ayr for the second time this season on Tuesday night, 8-6.

Shantelle Brown, Teya Still and Morgan Parrish each had two hits with two runs batted in as the Tigers picked up their seventh straight victory. Senior Bethany Christensen pitched the complete-game victory, ending with three strikeouts, three walks and six hits allowed.

The Tigers moved out to leads of 5-1 in the third inning and 8-3 in the fourth before the Raiderettes fought back with three runs on three hits and two Lenox errors in the fifth.

That 8-6 score held up over the final two innings.

Tigers coach Tom Shields said his team needed all of their 12 hits to outscore the Raiderettes.

“Up and down the lineup, everybody was hitting,” Shields said. “That was key for us, because they kept coming. We knew we were in for a dogfight. We had them down pretty good when we played them at their place, and they came back and tied it late. Then we had a big seventh inning to escape (107).”

Sara Winemiller and Tess

and single and combined for three runs batted in to lead Mount Ayr (15-10 overall, 8-7 Pride of Iowa Conference).

“One thing I liked was that we had some character there and got it back close again,” Mount Ayr coach Bret Ruggles said. “Unfortunately, we were about six inches short of making it 8-7 when Tess Shields hit the top of the fence for a double. If that ball goes over, it’s 8-7 and up one versus up two is a whole different feel to the game.”

Sam Schaefer started in the circle for the Raiderettes and was relieved by starting second baseman Caroline McAlexander in the fourth.

McAlexander gave up only two runs on three hits in three innings.

The Raiderettes take on Orient-Macksburg at 1:30 p.m. and West Central Valley at 7:30 p.m. today in the Mount Ayr Softball Classic.

Lenox (15-11, 9-5 POI) also plays at Mount Ayr today, taking on Clarinda at 3 p.m.

AIB business students earn national honors DES MOINES – Before graduating May 22 from AIB College of Business, two students collected national honors for their Enactus project presentation. Enactus is an international, nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring students to improve the world through entrepreneurial action.

Eric Stough of Des Moines, formerly of Creston, and Ryan Turner of West Des Moines, formerly of Winterset, prepared a presentation about AIB’s work with Immigrant Entrepreneurs Summit, a nonprofit group dedicated to helping immigrants to Iowa start and grow their own businesses.

In March, the two competed in Chicago against teams from across the United States at a regional competition, where they were named regional champions.

“To win a regional competition is difficult. Most winning teams have dozens of members, and the Chicago competition was no exception,” said Distinguished Professor Gregg Johnson, AIB Enactus sponsor. “The charter buses were lined up at the conference center dropping off 50 or more Enactus members from one school. Wedged between these buses was the AIB minivan with two members.”

“Most teams had 20 mem-

bers greeting the judges, working the crowd, handing out reports, setting up equipment and operating computers and sound systems,” Johnson said.

“Then, they had six different students actually deliver the oral presentation. Some schools even sent four additional students onstage to answer questions from the judges once their presentation was over. Ryan and Eric had to do all of these same tasks but on their own.”

Two weeks prior to the regional competition, Stough and Turner were invited to present their project at the 2016 New Orleans International Teaching and Learning Conference,

along with presenters from Japan, Nigeria, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and numerous other countries. Their work was voted “best paper” – an honor given to the presenter whose work the audience admired most.

“It is very, very rare for students to be invited to present at such a conference and, typically, the only students who do get invited are Ph.D. students, who present on their doctoral work,” Johnson said. “Being invited to present at a conference is an honor many faculty members never get. To be invited to present at an international conference and win ‘best paper’ is an extraordinary achievement.”

Local 4-H’ers tour dairy farm Union County 4-H’ers got to experience dairy on a large scale as they toured the Milk Unlimited dairy farm in Atlantic.

As part of Union County’s 4-H SPecial INterest (SPIN) program, the youth visited the farm and saw firsthand where milk comes from and how dairy cattle are raised.

SPIN began in September and ended with this dairy farm tour.

“The SPIN program is meant to spark an interest in something new for the 4-H’er,” said Haley Jones, Union County youth and outreach coordinator.

“Each month a different event, workshop or tour was planned for the 4-H’ers.”

Christy Cunningham, one of the owners and managers of Milk Unlimited gave the youths a tour of the dairy farm, including the milking parlor, freestall barn and feed storage.

Milk Unlimited milks 3,000 Holsteins three times a day in a double 30 parallel parlor. The milk from the dairy

is shipped daily to Anderson Erickson in Des Moines.

“This SPIN event tied in nicely with the fact that June is nationally recognized as June Dairy Month,” Jones said. “There are currently no dairy farms in Union County and therefore no dairy show at the county fair for 4-H’ers, so I thought it would be neat to give the 4-H’ers an opportunity to experience a dairy farm in southwest Iowa.”

The bus transportation was sponsored by the local Friends of 4-H foundation while Bob Beatty, head of transportation for Creston Schools and 4-H enthusiast, was the bus driver.

For more information about the Union County 4-H program, check out the website at www.extension.iastate. edu/union and Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ unioncounty4hia.
