Tyler Downey, originally of Creston, finishes up an animated rendition of himself on a piece of artwork in the art room at Creston High School Thursday. The piece is part of a series now on display for the Creston: Arts June exhibit at the restored Creston Depot. Downey created a body of art using direct copies of and general concepts from journal entries he wrote and sketched while traveling internationally.

By KELSEY HAUGEN land, Oregon, resident has CNA associate editor khaugen@crestonnews.com

As Tyler Downey hitchhiked throughout the United States and then into other countries, including Ecuador, Thailand and Australia, he documented his nearly five years of travels in journals using words and sketches.

“I just didn’t have what I needed here in Creston and was soul-searching and art-searching and wanted to see something different,” said Downey, 24, formerly of Creston.

Now, the soon-to-be Port-

created several pieces of art using words and images from his travel journals.

Downey’s work will be on display at the gallery in the restored Creston Depot for the month of June.

For First Friday, an artist reception with Downey will be from 6 to 8 p.m. tonight at the depot. Open mic night will take place as usual, but this month, it will be held 7:30 p.m. tonight at the Rainbow Park bandshell, located at the corner of South Birch and East Fremont streets in Creston. Those who want to perform should arrive early to sign up.

Creston: Arts President Bailey Fry-Schnormeier said she’s “incredibly excited” about the body of work Downey has on display especially because he is her former student. Downey graduated from Creston High School in 2010.

After high school, Downey went to college for two years but had a longing to travel.

“His whole body of work for this show is all imagery and text pulled from these journals he kept while he was on these adventures,” Fry-Schnormeier said.

One series Downey created that is now on display

includes pieces that feature animated renditions of himself at different stages of his travels – in one, he has long, shaggy hair, and in another, he looks more clean-cut.

In the background of these pieces are copies of sketches and writings from his travels, collaged behind each cutout self-portrait.

Another of Downey’s works has a juxtaposition of elements, including contrasting colors and subject matter: an elderly Vietnamese woman Downey met in Vietnam, a Buddha statue he saw on the top of a mountain in Thailand ARTS | 2A

Before the general elections scheduled for Nov. 8, 2016, the Iowa primary election will take place June 7.

“The primary is when the Democratic party and the Republican party vote on who they want representing the tickets of who is up,” said Union County Auditor Sandy Hysell.

The Union County Courthouse will be open for absentee voters Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The last day to request an absentee ballot to be mailed is Friday, and the office will be open till 5 p.m. The last day to vote absentee is Monday, and the office will be open till 5 p.m.

Four people filed papers for two open positions on Union County Board of Supervisors, and one person each filed for the open positions of Union County Auditor and Union County Sheriff.

Lois Monday, Dennis Brown and Joe Owens are running on the Republican ticket for supervisors. Robert G. Brown is running on the supervisors Democratic ticket.

Hysell is running unopposed for auditor, and Union County Sheriff Rick Piel is also running unopposed for his current position.

Up and running: The 115-year-old fountain at Rainbow Park in Creston has running water for the first time in about four

years thanks to nearly $15,000 in renovations funded by the city of Creston, Creston Parks and Recreation, Youth Answering the Call of the Community (YACC), Mommies of Angels and Melba Palma estate. The fountain began leaking substantially about four years ago, causing the water bill to triple and forcing the parks and rec department to keep the fountain turned off. Now, the fountain will run until cold weather hits. The lights are also working, and new flowers have been planted around the fountain.

“I start out with original, (hand-drawn) sketches from my journal, then I go into PhotoShop and delete the backgrounds, add colors in, chop different images and put them together, and then add in words from my journal that are either relevant or fit well visually,” Downey said.

“I’ll have some direct copies of sketches and also concepts edited from the journals.”

Pictured are pieces of artwork by Tyler Downey that are now on display for the Creston: Arts June exhibit at the restored Creston Depot. The piece shown in front juxtaposes contrasting colors and subject matter, including images of an elderly woman Downey met in Vietnam and a statue of Buddha and dragon statues he saw in Thailand.

my camera – just drawing everything I see,” Downey said.

Downey decided to title this exhibit “Lessons,” and he will have an estimated nine pieces on display.

“I feel like most of the pieces pull out some life lessons learned and some experiences from my travels,” Downey said. “I’ve grown a lot since I started traveling, so I figured that was a good name for it.”

This exhibit won’t be Downey’s first art on display in Creston. He recently completed a mural at the handball court at McKinley Park, and his next project is painting a

mural on the underpass by McKinley Park, which the city of Creston is paying him to do. This mural will be complete within about a week.

Fry-Schnormeier said it will have a McKinley Park-related theme with cyclists weaved into the design to highlight RAGBRAI riders coming through Creston in July.

Downey has worked on these murals with the help of Creston High School art students’ artistic ideas.

“He’s got this carefree spirit and this great energy, and to see him grow and be a leader with a project

and work with my students, it’s coming full circle,” Fry-Schnormeier said of Downey. “It’s really amazing as a teacher to be able to see that happen with one of my students.

He’s been excellent in coaching the s t u d e n t s Fry-Schnormeier through different techniques but also giving them the freedom to really express their own creativity and personalities.”

Tracking the miles Dear Heloise: In my business, I travel a lot and have had many different systems for DOCUMENTING MY MILEAGE. The best one that works for me is actually quite easy, and because of it, I’ve been much more consistent with my documentation.

At the start, I take a picture of the odometer for the beginning mileage. When I’m finished, I take another picture of the ending mileage.

I do this from week to week, and at the end of the week I record the mileage on a spreadsheet I’ve created on my computer. The pictures on the phone are date- and time-stamped, so it’s easy to document.

Once recorded, I delete the pictures. It’s the easiest way I’ve found to document mileage. – Anna S., via email Brilliant! What is it about keeping up with mileage and expenses when on business? I seem to come home from a speech with an envelope stuffed with receipts.

Thanks for your hint. – Heloise BROCHURES FOR GUESTS Dear Heloise: When guests visit, I try to give them

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, June 3, 2016

THE FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bil Keane

Hints from Heloise ideas of places to consider during their stay, making their experience more memorable. I bought large, plastic zipper-top bags and placed pamphlets and small magazines that advertise local attractions in different bags.

The bags are labeled “dining,” “nightlife,” “attractions,” etc. They’re in a basket on top of the dresser in their bedroom. Our guests have really appreciated the gesture. – Henri K. in San Antonio MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Dear Heloise: Here’s my maintenance hint for anyone who wants to keep the kitchen and bathroom drains odor-free: I simply drop a couple of seltzer tablets down the drain and chase them with a cup of vinegar. I wait about five minutes, and during that time, I boil a large, manageable pot of water. Then I pour the boiling water down the drain fast but carefully.

No more smelly drains. – Sally in Georgia

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

This is a great hint, Sally. Next time, try boiling the vinegar, then pour it in and wait five minutes or so, then add the hot water. This will help clean any buildup in the drain and the p-trap. Follow by running cold water for a minute or so. Vinegar is just one of my “go-to” liquids for jobs around the house. This is why I created the pamphlet Heloise’s Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More. Visit my website, www.Heloise.com, to purchase a copy, or send $5 and a stamped (68 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope to: Heloise/ Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

There are many different types of vinegars. For this job, and for most cleaning jobs around the house or BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker outdoors, good old white or apple-cider vinegar is what’s called for. No balsamic down the drain! – Heloise PICNICS Dear Heloise: Whenever we go on picnics, I take vinyl table covers for the tables we’ll be using. I also take big black metal clips to use on the tables. I “clip” the cover to the table to prevent them from blowing off. – Vickie, via email (c)2016 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

She talked about how run-off from farms, soil erosion and urban pollution are ruining the quality of rivers and streams.

Some ways to conserve the water quality are not wasting water in your homes, cutting down of chemical usage and education.

Creston softball splits home twin bill with Harlan

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Splitting a doubleheader is not ideal for the Creston Panthers softball team, but they will take the good with the bad as they move forward in conference play with a 7-6 loss and a 10-4 victory over Harlan.

The Panthers fell in game one of a doubleheader thanks to some late-inning mistakes but recovered well enough to put a spanking on Harlan in the latter contest.

Game one A 5-3 lead going into the seventh

inning of the night’s first game did not last. Starting pitcher Cali Foglesong pitched into the seventh inning and allowed the first three batters she faced to reach base on two hits and one error. Taylor Briley took her place in the circle and quickly allowed two runs after a walk to Stephanie Smith and an error. Briley gave up four of the runs in the inning, the fourth and fifth run coming from a Julia Sorfonden two-RBI single and the latter two coming on a Kate Gubbels base hit.

“Disappointed we didn’t close out the first game,” Creston coach Mike McCabe said. “Had several chances

both offensively and defensively and we didn’t execute on either side.”

The Panthers loaded the bases and Kiersten Latham was able to score to bring the game within a run.

A Logan Schaben error helped prolong the game but Josie Sickels flew out to left field to end it with the bases loaded.

The disappointing loss came after Creston took a 4-0 lead on consecutive RBIs that came from Josie Sickels, Shelber Palser and Briley.

Foglesong surrendered three runs in the third, which was compounded by a few Panther mistakes. Creston accounted for four errors in the first

game.

Despite extending the lead to two runs with an RBI off of a Harlan error (Jami Sickels drove in sister Josie) the Panthers could not quite shut down their conference foes.

“I’m just proud of them for coming back,” Harlan coach Brooke Schaben said. “We’ve had a tough last few games and for them to come back to beat Creston, I mean, they’re a really good team.”

Game two The night cap resulted in a much more positive outcome for the home CRES| 9A

REACHING NEW HEIGHTS First Panther semifinalists joined in medal round by teammates n

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

WATERLOO — It was another history-making day for the Creston/O-M girls tennis seniors.

The second-seeded doubles team of Jenna Taylor and Alli Thomsen became the first state tennis semifinalists in program history Thursday by cruising through a pair of straight-set victories. They faced one of two Waterloo Columbus semifinal qualifiers to start today’s action in the championship bracket at Byrnes Park.

The other Columbus team, top-seeded Lauren McManus and Taylor Hogan, held off the challenge of Creston/O-M’s Caitlin McIlravy and Sydney Dunphy in the quarterfinals, 6-0, 6-4. The unseeded Panther duo held a 4-3 lead during a burst of momentum midway through the second set. McManus and 2016 state singles semifinalist Olivia Fain teamed up for a fourth-place finish in last year’s state doubles competition.

McIlravy and Dunphy won their opening match over regional champions Rachel Tvedt and Brooke Jogensen of Pella Christian, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3. On a perfect sun-splashed day, the Panther duo rebounded from the quarterfinal loss to dis-

pose of Newton’s Megan Pressgrove and Kate Wyre, 6-3, 6-3.

That same Newton team lost to Taylor and Thomsen in the opening round, 6-1, 6-4.

Achieving goals Getting two state entries into the medal round (top eight) is another new first for Creston tennis. Head coach Kevin Cooper said the day

went as planned.

“Focus on day one and get to day two,” Cooper said. “To get both teams into the top eight, that was the goal we’ve talked about for months. It’s nice to see things we’ve been working on in the past month — finishes in our net play. You saw us playing some elite level doubles today.”

The second-set spurt

by McIlravy and Dunphy against the team favored to win the tournament was a huge confidence boost for Creston/O-M’s regional runners-up. It carried over to the consolation victory over Newton’s state qualifiers.

“That was a great match!” said Panther assistant coach Anthony Donahoo. “They were chasing every ball down, working together to

be aggressive. With good teams like (Columbus), a lot of times they’ve never been down. So, we said get them down and see how they react. You could see they haven’t had that happen to them much. But sooner or later they were going to catch their breath. They’re a great team. But when our two girls TENNIS| 8A

Harlan bats too much for Creston baseball n

Panthers swept at home

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Harlan’s bats made the long trip to Creston Thursday night.

The Cyclones plate discipline and patience combined to be an effective combination, leading to a Hawkeye 10 sweep of the Panthers.

Harlan, the defending Class 3A runner-up, took game one 13-3. The Cyclones completed the sweep with a 12-2 win in the nightcap.

“Offensively, they’re just relentless,” said Creston coach Steve Birchard.

The Cyclones had a number of lengthy at bats in both games, which was counter to what Creston was doing at the plate. Several times, the Panthers went down in order and with a minimal number of pitches thrown.

“They’d have 10-pitch at bats and we’d have a 10-pitch inning,” Birchard said. “It was tough. They’re a very good team.”

While Harlan was the runner-up in Class 3A a season ago, a number of the Cyclone players are still relatively young.

Their growth and development was evident in both contests. The Cyclones only struck out six times combined in the two contests.

“He (Coach Daeges) mentioned Some of that is physical maturity, challenge from Harlan in game two.

The Cyclones tallied a run in the they struck out over 200 times last they’re a little older. They’ve got a year,” Birchard said. “They’re just nice group of people.”

are on, Sydney with her hard serve and Caitlin finishing at the net, they’re hard to beat, too.”

“I liked how positive they were and they were going after every shot,” assistant coach Amanda Plymale said.

Dunphy and McIlravy took their play to a different level after dropping the second set against Tvedt and Jorgensen in the first round.

Last year they were eliminated on day one in the consolation round by Taylor and Thomsen.

“We kind of took it for granted after we won that first set,” Dunphy said. “We turned it around and definitely it was an improvement from last year.”

McIlravy said an uptick in intensity was necessary just to play with top-seeded McManus and Hogan, and it resulted in a better performance.

“Our shots were more crisp and we talked to each other more,” McIlravy said.

“Playing with that team gave us a big boost of confidence.”

Today, McIlravy and Dunphy met a familiar opponent in the consolation semifinals to determine which teams will play for fifth place, and which goes to the seventh-place match.

Their opponents are Denison-Schleswig’s Olivia Ipsen and Sophie Schultz, who lost to McIlravy and Dunphy in three sets in the Hawkeye 10 Tournament.

teammates, McManus and Hogan. Cooper said his veteran duo — this is Taylor’s third state tournament as a doubles player — is playing well enough to reach the state championship round.

“We know things will be amped up around here in the grandstands with both Waterloo teams in the semifinals,” Cooper said. “But Jenna and Alli are super competitive and will give it a great shot. They have so much consistency. I’ll tell you what, I saw all four (quarterfinal) doubles matches, and I think our girls can compete with any of them.”

“We got a little tense in that second set (quarterfinals), but we battled back the rest of the way,” Taylor said.

“You can’t be mad about playing in the semifinals of the state tournament!”

“They were a good team,” Thomsen said of Decorah’s Anna Pencer and Annika Krieg, who the Panthers will see again Saturday in the state team tennis semifinals.

“They started to try to close down the court and get to the net first. We had trouble lobbing over them, so we started putting more pace on it.”

The Panthers countered with a pair in the second. Michael Scherer singled and Beau Barncastle walked. A sacrifice moved them over a base. Brenden McDowell drove both in with a solid single to left.

That was all the Panthers could muster. Preston was held to six hits in game two by Cyclones pitcher Brett Sears.

Creston’s offense remains a work in progress, Birchard said.

“We just couldn’t quite muster the offense to get the extra runs,” he said. “I take the blame for our hitting. Our situational hitting as far as counts go, we’re not very good. We haven’t had much discussion about that.

“It’s one of those things we have to get better at if we’re going to be a team that’s considered a threat.”

Creston’s 10-4 win was the result of more timely hitting, three two-run innings and a three-run fourth inning.

Leading the way were three Panthers with two RBIs. Josie Sickels went 2-for-3 with two runs. Palser had a two-hit game and scored two runs. Alyssa Higgins cracked one hit in three at-bats.

Lexie Little continued her scalding hot hitting with a 2-for-4 night with a run and an RBI. Little now has 11 hits in 17 at-bats over her last four games.

Harlan committed three errors in the second game that made things a little better for the Panthers.

“The second game, we had a few more errors and that showed,” coach Schaben said. “We take a couple errors out of that and we’re still in the ballgame.”

Briley pitched all seven innings and gave up three earned runs, struck out two and walked three.

Morghan Frey and Saige Rice saw time in both games, which was something that coach McCabe pointed to as a positive to Thursday night’s slate of games. Rice hit two doubles in four trips to the plate in the second

Warriors top Cavs OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry realizes every last man on the bench can mean so much to winning a championship.

As he and Klay Thompson endured rare off nights that even featured Curry tossing his mouthpiece in frustration, the MVP’s “Strength In Numbers” supporting cast made all the timely shots and all the difference for the defending champions in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Draymond Green had 16 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, Shaun Livingston scored a personal postseason best of 20 and Golden State’s bench came up big as the Warriors beat LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers 104-89 on Thursday night to move three wins from a repeat title.

The Splash Brothers?

They totaled — gasp! — 20 points on 8-for-27 shooting, each knocking down a

late 3-pointer. “You don’t win championships without the entire squad coming in and making an impact on games,” Curry said. “That’s why we’re here.”

Golden State’s bench outscored the Cavs’ reserves 4510 in the opener of this finals rematch, which the Warriors reached even with Curry missing six games with injuries in the postseason.

Game 2 is Sunday night back at Oracle Arena, and James knows Cleveland must adjust immediately.

“When you get outscored 45-10 on the bench and give up 25 points off 17 turnovers, no matter what someone does or doesn’t do, it’s going to be hard to win, especially on the road,” James said.

“Don’t matter what you do with Steph and Klay, don’t matter what you do with Draymond.”

Adair County Extension announces summer youth opportunities GREENFIELD – Adair County Extension has a full schedule of summer camps; there is something for everyone from those entering kindergarten through graduating seniors.

Youth entering fourth through eighth grades this fall will kick off the summer by learning how to be “On Their Own and Ok.” Jane HayesJohnk, regional 4-H program specialist, will lead this camp alongside extension summer staff from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. June 2 at Adair County Health and Fitness Center.

This program is designed to prepare children to be home alone while a parent is away.

This may be for kids alone before or after school or for a more extended period of time like summer. Some of the topics covered include ways to deal with boredom, preparing snacks and how to handle emergencies. There is a special parent presentation at the end of the camp day. There is no charge for this camp thanks to Decat-CPPC and other funding sources.

The next week, middle school youth entering fifth

through eighth grades will have the chance to test out their science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills on Monday, June 6, at the Adair County Fairgrounds. Kids will get in-depth, hands-on learning experiences at this all-day camp.

Extension has partnered again with the libraries in Adair County to offer a fourpart series: “Ready, Set, Read.” These will be offered on the following dates: Orient: from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Monday through Wednesday and Friday, June 13-15 and 17 Stuart: from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Monday through Thursday, June 20-23 Adair: from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

Monday through Thursday, June 20-23 Greenfield: from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Monday through Thursday, June 27-30 Fontanelle: from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, June 28-July 1 There is no charge for any of the library programs, but space is limited and advance registration is required.

Any youth entering third

grade through graduating seniors may sign up for the “Co’Motion Dance Theatre Workshop” held in partnership with Warren Cultural Center.

This program will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, June 14-16, with a performance for the public 4:30 p.m. Thursday.

Valerie Williams Co’Motion Dance Theatre from Ames will conduct modern dance rehearsals that will culminate in an original dance concert showcasing the student’s work.

Through the classes, the Kids’ Co’Motion workshop provides an opportunity for students to explore and expand their own potential, as well as learn about a vital performing arts discipline. Youth have an opportunity to experience firsthand the amount of preparation, physical work, creative thought and expertise that is required to ensure a quality dance performance.

Another new addition to this year’s line-up of programs will give middle school students fifth through eighth grades the chance to “Blast off” at the Iowa Aviation Museum on Wednesday, July 6. Dive into

If you like working with your hands and learning everchanging equipment/techniques, SWCC’s industrial technology program is a perfect fit. The program has excellent instruction and equipment to learn the exciting and challenging world of industrial maintenance. I landed a job at an excellent local company, Ferrara Candy Co, as a maintenance mechanic.
