7-year-old undergoes kidney removal after discovery of birth defect ■

By BAILEY POOLMAN CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Caitlin Austin sits petting the family cat, Leo, while her mother, Carie Austin, feeds the youngest of the Creston bunch, Hyrum. Carie explains the journey she and her family went on starting March 28 until today, when Caity is as healthy as can be expected.

Caity had an obstructed ureter, which caused her to contract a variety of kidney and bladder disorders in a matter of months, and she underwent surgery to have her right kidney removed.

Beginning On March 27, after an Easter celebration, Caity told her mom she had a stomachache, the beginning of the storm.

“We were thinking, ‘It’s Easter, you had candy, there were Easter egg hunts. Just lay down and you’ll be okay,’” Carie said. “Monday morning she wakes up and the first thing she says is, ‘My tummy hurts.’”

Carie and her husband, Charles, sent Caity to school because she did not have a fever or other issues. But, that day, she was sent home after throwing up. On March 29, after a mid-morning nap, the pain had radiated to her side.

Carie also noticed Caity’s eyes had sunken in, she had no color in her face, and she was lethargic. After Charles got home from work, the couple took their oldest daughter to the hospital.

After several hours, the doctor at Greater Regional Medical Center requested a computerized axial tomography (CT) scan. That was when Carie and Charles learned their 7-year-old daughter had an enlarged, infected kidney.

“There were pus pockets on her kidney, and some had erupted, which led to the infection, the sepsis,” Carie said.

Caity was also diagnosed with a severe urinary tract infection (UTI), bladder infection, kidney infection, hydronephrosis or a swollen kidney caused by fluid and E. coli.

Caity was taken immediately to Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines by ground ambulance.

“They gave me a stuffed animal, and we watched a movie,” Caity said of her trip in the ambulance with her fa-

ther.

“It kind of hit us hard because we just had a baby; he was just over a month old at the time,” Carie said. “So, we were trying to figure out, ‘What are we going to do?’

Work, kids, life, newborn.”

Blank Once at Blank Children’s Hospital, Caity received a round of intravenous (IV) antibiotics the first day. By April 6, she was diagnosed with an obstructed ureter, one that was too small or obstructed to allow for fluid flow from the kidney to the bladder, after discovering the E. coli. Carie and Charles were told the left kidney was functioning at only 13 percent.

“The tests that they ran here in Creston finally came back, and they knew that it was an E. coli infection,” Charles said. “For most kids, it wouldn’t turn into as bad as it did, but because she had the restrictive flow in her kidney, the UTI was able to backtrack into the kidney. Once it got there, the bacteria just went nuts.”

By April 7, Caity underwent her first of two major surgeries.

Doctors put a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line in through Caity’s back and attached a nephros-

tomy bag to her to allow the urine to escape the kidney, since it wasn’t able to before.

“The rebound was instantaneous,” Charles said. “Just a few hours later, when she finally slept off the sedation and she came around, she felt so much better just having the pressure off her kidney, getting all the fluid out of her kidney. Her fever even stopped spiking.”

Tears came to Carie’s eyes when she explained she wasn’t able to be in Des Moines during the surgery.

She had waited until her other girls came home from school, packed the four children, 1-month-old Hyrum, 1-yearold Adeline, 4-year-old Vivian and 6-year-old Rosalie, in the family vehicle and drove to Des Moines to be with her husband and Caity.

While Carie drove to Des Moines, a rain that had hit was halting.

“I looked out my window and there was this big, giant rainbow. Caitlin is our ‘rainbow baby.’ She’s our first successful after a line of miscarriages, and so it was kind of a neat thing that God gave me to say, ‘I’ve got her,’” Carie said. “I worked really hard to get her here, and something like this happening? It makes CAITY | 2A

JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. (AP) — A law enforcement official said Thursday no active shooter was found at a military post outside Washington, and the base said a lockdown was lifted except for the building where an active shooter had been reported.

The law enforcement official was not authorized to discuss the matter by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Joint Base Andrews tweeted just after 10:30 a.m.

Thursday that the lock down had been lifted with the exception of the Malcolm Grow medical center.

The base was placed on lockdown earlier Thursday morning after the shooter was reported. The base is home to Air Force One and is about 20 miles from Washington.

Even after the lockdown, it was not immediately clear if any shots were fired.

Journey to Jupiter: NASA spacecraft nears planet LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jupiter takes center stage with the arrival next week of a NASA spacecraft built to peek through its thick, swirling clouds and map the planet from the inside out.

The solar-powered Juno spacecraft is on the final leg of a five-year, 1.8 billion-mile (2.8 billion-kilometer) voyage to the biggest planet in the solar system.

Juno promises to send back the best close-up views as it circles the planet for a year.

Jupiter is a gas giant made up mostly of hydrogen and helium unlike rocky Earth and its neighbor Mars. The fifth planet from the sun likely formed first and it could hold clues to

how the solar system developed.

A look at the $1.1 billion mission:

The arrival As Juno approaches Jupiter late Monday, it will fire its main rocket engine to slow down and slip into orbit around the planet. This carefully orchestrated move, all preprogrammed, is critical because Juno will zip past Jupiter if it fails to brake. The engine burn — lasting about a half hour — is designed to put Juno on a path that loops over Jupiter’s poles.

you appreciate your child and their resilience.”

Home After that first major surgery, Caity was able to come home April 9, but her homecoming didn’t last long.

Caity began throwing up as soon as they arrived home; she had come down with the stomach flu alongside her sisters.

She was unable to stay hydrated, and she was taken back to Blank for IV fluids.

“We were sitting there in defeat in that moment. Why did we just come home? What are we doing?” Carie said.

“He (Charles) called about 2 or 3 in the morning saying that Caity was going to be coming home again. So, she had two homecomings in one 24-hour period.”

After that, Caity was given IV antibiotics from home but was in the emergency room several times to make sure she was doing OK. And, she was.

“So much of this was out of our hands,” Carie said. “I would say we’re very strong in our faith, and this really tested us. It’s a trial of our faith and we relied on Him so much, but it was knowing those little signals that we got, those ‘I’m here. She’s fine.’ We really needed those.”

The Austin family received an outpouring of support from family and friends. A crowd-funding account was created, many people donated to help with hospital expenses as Charles was unable to work during the time he was in Des

situation” at the base but provided no other details.

Emergency vehicles in the area of the base had on lights, but no sirens. At least three people in camouflage and helmets could be seen walking working dogs around the three-story building. About 10:15 a.m., a few people could be seen walking out of the building, including a person being moved in a wheelchair.

Helicopters hovered overhead, but it was unclear if they were news or military helicopters.

Rodney Smith, the patient advocate at the Andrews medical facility, said an active-shooter exercise was scheduled for Thursday morning, and then he was told it was a “real-world” situation. He said he was on lockdown and didn’t have any more information.

Jupiter since the 1970s, but there are still plenty of questions left unanswered. How much water does the planet have? Is there a dense core?

Why is its signature Great Red Spot — a hurricane-like storm that has been raging for centuries — shrinking?

During the mission, Juno will peer through Jupiter’s dense clouds, flying within 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers), closer than any other spacecraft.

Moines and people helped make meals and care for the children. Both Carie and Charles said they had to learn to say “yes” to those willing to help.

“The cool thing was, by the 14th (of April), she was able to go back to school for halfdays,” Carie said. “So, even though it felt like forever, it was pretty step-by-step-bystep.”

The day before her first half-day back, Caity went with her mom to school and let her classmates ask questions while Carie updated her teacher.

April 14 marked Caity’s first day back to school, nephrostomy bag in tow.

“The school was also very awesome with helping her and making sure she had someone there if she needed help,” Carie said of Creston Elementary School.

“It was weird,” Caity said of having her bag with her, “because it bothered me.”

After the first day of it being hidden underneath her clothes, Caity decided to let the bag hang outside her clothing to help with the comfort.

By April 18, Caity was back to school fulltime, and five weeks later, she was one kidney short.

Removal and recovery

Today is June 30, the 182nd day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 184 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (June 27-July 3) in history:

10 years ago Creston’s legendary coach Ron “Fox” Clinton called it quits for a second time after 47 years.

Although he admitted the retirement might be shortlived, he was content to call it quits to spend more time with his grandchildren. After a three-year coaching hiatus, Fox had been asked by Athletic Director Bill Krejci to rebuild Southwestern Community College’s struggling softball program in 2002. When asked what he would miss most, he said, “I’ll miss everything and nothing.” Fox started his career in 1959 at Creston High School.

Five years later, he joined SWCC, then called Creston Junior college. Over the years, he coached men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, golf and softball.

Greenfield held its sesquicentennial celebration with a parade July 1. There were nearly 160 entries to help celebrate 150 years.

20 years ago 911 services in a seven-county area was delayed again, this time by the bankruptcy of the company in charge of database addressing. Union County Sheriff John Coulter said about 70 percent of the mapping and database work was complete when they received notice that 19 at University of Iowa Children’s Hospital in Iowa City.

“The day before her surgery we were taking pictures with her, and it was just the light in the tunnel,” Carie said. “Luckily, we had family in Iowa City.

We were able to camp out at my mom’s while we were there.”

The children’s train ride was a popular activity at Afton’s Pre-Fourth celebration.

Perfect summer weather added to the Lions-sponsored event June 25, 2006, in Afton City Park. Church services were held earlier in the day, during which a dedication of a city light was made in memory of David Pugh.

Mainstreet Planning was filing for bankruptcy. This affected Adair, Adams, Clarke, Guthrie, Madison, Taylor and Union counties with a delay that was already a year late.

G.W. “Bud” Conner retired after 43 years of service at Iowa Southern Utilities and IES Utilities, Inc. He started as a 17-year-old part-time meter reader in Ottumwa, went to the engineering department after a two-year stint in the U.S. Army as a combat engineer in Germany, and was retiring as senior energy management specialist for the Creston district.

Papetti’s of Lenox sold to Michael Foods in an $85 million deal, but no changes were expected other than ownership, according to Tom Rechsteiner, president surgery time looking at the kidney to see if he could save it. However, he was unable to and had to remove it.

“I think it still hit us. We were expecting it (to be removed), but once there’s that little glimmer of, ‘We’re going to try to save it,’ that would have been cool,” Carie said.

“But, I was there for that sur-

President of the area board, Robert J. Beecher, announced the former superintendent of schools at Charleston, Missouri, was

hired as superintendent of the Area 14 area junior college and vocational school with a salary of $24,000.

The Hill-McCanna Company’s McCannalloy division foundry at Creston was the subject of an article in the July 1966 issue of Foundry Magazine titled “Rural Foundry Makes Premium Quality Castings.” The foundry made high-quality aluminum and magnesium castings for jet aircraft, helicopters, missiles and other aerospace vehicles and had moved from Chicago, Illinois, to Creston in 1965. The foundry had been able to achieve a capacity 50 percent greater than its previous operation with its employment numbers more than 250 and it annual payroll exceeding $1 million.

gery, so that was really calming for me to be there at the hospital and wait with her.”

The surgery took about five hours, and the incision had to be enlarged because the kidney was more inflamed than doctors originally anticipated and the surgeon didn’t want to rupture the fat deposits and pus pockets on the organ during removal.

“When they said they were going to take it out, yes, I was a little sad. But, part of me was relieved,” Carie said. “I was just glad that the nephrostomy bag was going to be gone, she was going to have that kidney that was causing problems out, and she was going to return and be my Caitlin. I was so ready for her to be Caitlin again.”

After the surgery was over, Caity, who is naturally fair skinned, had pink in her cheeks and her energy bloomed. She and her family went home the next day.

“She’s like a super kid,” Carie said when Caity lifted her shirt to show off the small, curved scar along her belly button and two small spots, all forming a triangle on her belly.

Now, though Caity still has follow-up appointments to go to, things are looking bright like a rainbow after a storm.

“I feel like when we got her home it was like we crossed that finish line,” Carie said. “It brings so much joy to my heart to see her happy and functioning again, literally functioning again.”

of Papetti’s Lenox facility.

“We’re putting No. 1 and No. 2 in our industry together,” he said. “It will make a very strong company.”

A 2 1/2-acre garden near Macksburg designed and maintained by Karen Strohbeen and Bill Luchsinger was the subject of a six-page article appearing in the summer 1996 issue of “The Iowan.”

The article described how the two added to their garden each new season and showed photographs of the garden that consisted of swirling island-shaped flower beds, from 30 to 80 feet in length.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, June 30, 2016

Building conservatives HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

A Harvard University study released Friday shows that public Fourth of July celebrations tend to turn school kids into conservatives. Reaction was swift.

Teachers were horrified to hear that it just takes some fireworks and a patriotic speech to undo 138 days of public school education.

Volkswagen agreed to pay out $15 billion in fines and restitution after the German automaker was caught cheating on its emission standards. It’s a historic payout.

The CEO said it’s the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to Volkswagen, and they were founded by Hitler.

Facebook founder and chairman Mark Zuckerberg Friday bought a huge house and property in Hawaii surrounded by walls.

Two months ago he ripped Donald Trump for promising to build a wall on Mexico’s border. The

difference is, U.S. guards won’t shoot you for going over the border wall.

Rio’s governor said that the Summer Olympic Games might turn out to be a disaster. Many of the U.S. Olympic athletes are collecting and freezing their sperm ahead of the Games in case they get bit by a Zika mosquito in Rio. They are training under Pee Wee Herman at an undisclosed laptop.

Hillary Clinton told a Hollywood town hall Tuesday she gets the alienation voters feel toward Washington D.C. and Wall Clinton

Street. She’s wooing angry, poor whites. Hillary overdid it a little when she picked up a clump of dirt and vowed that with God as her witness, she will never be hungry again.

Hollywood’s legend Olivia de Havilland turns 100 years old Friday in Los Angeles. In her honor a movie theater in San Francisco will run Gone with the Wind tonight. This might be the only chance in a San Francisco child’s or grandchild’s lifetime to see the South’s side of things.

The Supreme Court ruled that if a governor does non-official favors for a donor it does not constitute political bribery and corruption. This could empty Joliet prison. Illinois is the only state where the current governor rides around in a car whose license plates were made by the previous governor.

Jay Leno was shaken up but not seriously hurt after crashing a car while taping an episode of

his CNBC show Jay Leno’s Garage. He keeps over 100 classic cars and dozens of classic motorcycles in his showroom. Jay Leno saved $40 million last year just by switching to Geico.

Focus on the Family’s James Dobson assured evangelicals it’s safe to vote for Trump because he’s accepted Christ. What’s not to accept? Trump is not only a cradle Congregationalist, he has 6,000 employees working in his hotels and in his buildings and half of them are named Jesus.

Senator Elizabeth Warren while onstage with Hillary Monday called Donald Trump unstable, shallow and narcissistic, substance-free and ego-maniacal.

Her time is certainly arriving.

Shark Week is the only time of the year when Elizabeth Warren gets to charge extra for public appearances.

CIA Director John Brennan warned that ISIS is using Syrian refugees streaming into the U.S.

as a cover to stage attacks in the U.S. It’s alarming. Intelligence officials say there are ways to tell if your neighbors are terrorists, for instance, if they approve of President Obama’s anti-terror strategy.

President Obama stood before reporters in Canada Wednesday with Canada’s premier Justin Trudeau and Mexico’s president Nina Piete. On the day after the Turkey terrorist attacks, Obama they addressed global warming.

Every time ISIS blows a hole in the troposphere, Obama calls a summit.

Letter to the editor

Sad to see Creston’s downtown area

By Pam (Schrodt) Wiggins pretty much a dumpy little town Saint Charles, Illinois

Crestonians: I recently visited what used to be a thriving and vital town in Iowa, to find a rundown area with no downtown and houses that literally need to be torn down.

I seriously don’t understand what good the city planners of Creston were thinking when they let Wal-Mart come into town as it destroyed all the mom and pop businesses in what used to be a lively and beautiful area. I used to be able to take pride in where I was born and raised and thought that someday I would move back “home” thinking that town would take pride in themselves and their surroundings. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen in Creston and it is

and it makes me very sad to see what has happened there. New York Avenue on the south side is one of the better looking areas as that area has itself looking good compared to the other areas in proximity of the downtown.

Accolades to both Greenfield and Winterset, who didn’t allow Wal-Mart into their areas as they both have beautiful and active downtown areas with great mom and pop shops. They are clean Iowa towns that have taken pride in their cities and have maintained beautiful downtown areas and clean, kept-up neighborhoods.

My first job out of high school was at the Creston News Advertiser, so I hope the newspaper will publish this so Creston’s people will look around and see how bad it has become there.

2016

The U.S. Supreme Court makes Herstory Herstory was made this week.

The U.S. Supreme Court settled a major battle over women’s reproductive rights, overturning Texas’s notorious anti-abortion law known as HB 2. The court’s 5-3 decision in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt ruled that the Texas law violated the right of women to abortion access. HB 2 is one of scores of socalled TRAP laws that have proliferated around the country. “TRAP” stands for “Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers.” These laws are designed to close clinics by forcing them to make expensive renovations to their facilities, or requiring doctors to have admitting privileges to hospitals. TRAP laws inevitably lead to clinics closing down. Whole Woman’s Health runs several clinics that provide abortion services in Texas, and decided to sue the state to challenge the law.

This significant legal victory was obtained not only in the chambers of the three women Supreme Court justices, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, and their two male allies, Stephen Breyer and Anthony Kennedy. It was won through years of organizing at the grass-roots, in the media and in the halls of the Texas Legislature.

The law was passed in July 2013, amidst unprecedented controversy.

On June 25, in the final day of a special session, the Texas Senate was slated to consider the bill. State Sen. Wendy Davis, a Fort Worth Democrat, donned comfortable pink running shoes and took the floor after 11 a.m. She began a filibuster, hoping to speak until midnight, when state law would compel the special session to end. Unlike in the U.S. Senate, in Texas, the senator

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

must continue standing and speaking, alone. Even in the U.S. Senate, when a senator chooses to engage in the theatrical in-person filibuster, as Sen. Chris Murphy did recently after the Orlando massacre, the senator can get a respite when colleagues ask long, speechlike questions. But Wendy Davis spoke herself, nonstop, through the day, on topic. She could not spend time on unrelated topics, as Sen. Ted Cruz did during his filibuster in the U.S. Senate when he read Dr. Seuss’ “Green Eggs and Ham” to fill time. The internet live stream of Davis’ filibuster went viral. Thousands flocked to the Texas Statehouse in solidarity.

The Republican majority in the Texas Senate managed to rule Davis procedurally out of order at 10 p.m., thereby giving the senators a full two hours before midnight to pass HB 2. But by that time, thousands of people clogging the Capitol began chanting, “Hell no, we won’t go!”

The noise was so disruptive that the Senate was prevented from holding a roll call. A people’s filibuster prevailed. Two weeks later, then-Gov. Rick Perry called another special legislative session, and the bill was passed.

Justice Stephen Breyer, in the court’s majority opinion striking down HB 2, wrote, “[A]bortions taking place in an abortion facility are safe — indeed, safer than numerous procedures that take place outside hospitals and to which Tex-

as does not apply its surgical-center requirements. ... Nationwide, childbirth is 14 times more likely than abortion to result in death, but Texas law allows a midwife to oversee childbirth in the patient’s own home.” Breyer also noted that a colonoscopy, a procedure that typically takes place outside a hospital setting, has a mortality rate 10 times higher than an abortion. The mortality rate for liposuction is 28 times higher than abortion.

Stephanie Toti, 37, argued the case on behalf of Whole Woman’s Health. She is a senior counsel at the Center for Reproductive Rights.

When we asked her on “Democracy Now!” what it was like, both as a woman and as a first-timer before the Supreme Court, Stephanie Toti said: “The plaintiffs in this case, I think, felt strongly that they would like me to represent them in court.

And I think it was meaningful to a lot of people to have a woman of reproductive age there at the court arguing this case.”

From the plaintiff, Amy Hagstrom Miller, founder and CEO of Whole Woman’s Health, who has been providing abortion care since 1989, to Stephanie Toti of the Center for Reproductive Rights, which has been representing women for almost a quarter- century, to the three women Supreme Court justices, an unprecedented number on the high court: movements matter.

The struggle for women’s rights has been waged for generations. With hundreds of anti-choice bills around the country, this landmark victory is cause for celebration, but not rest.

As Amy Hagstrom Miller said in front of the Supreme Court, “A win doesn’t mean the struggle is over.”

(BPT) - Sponsored content by Clayton Homes Most Americans want an energy-efficient home, and they’re willing to make the necessary changes to help improve efficiency, whether it’s changing their habits or buying more energy-efficient appliances. But reducing energy bills and making your home more efficient doesn’t just begin with remembering to switch off lights in empty rooms or paying top-dollar for newer appliances.

“Energy efficiency has to start when a home is being built,” says Kevin Clayton, CEO of manufactured home builder Clayton Homes. “If you’re buying new construction, it’s important to look for a home that’s built with energy-efficiency in mind during the home design stage. Those additional features will have a great impact on a home’s overall efficiency.”

As demand for greater energy efficiency has grown, the concept of more resourceful design has moved from the realm of luxury homes into the mainstream, Clayton notes. “You no longer have to buy a mansion to get an energy-smart, sustainable home. Manufactured homes are very energy-efficient and it’s easier to add energy saving features when the home is being constructed in a climate controlled environment.”

If you’re in the market for a new home, here are energy-efficient design features to look for: Superior insulation Insulation doesn’t just keep a home warm in the winter. It should also help keep it cooler in the summer, and help central air-conditioning units operate more efficiently. The R-Value of insulation tells you

how well it will be able to resist heat transfer, and a higher R-Value means better heat resistance. To properly protect a home, builders may use a combination of insulation types, such as batt and blown insulations packed into ceiling, wall and floor cavities.

Low-E windows Windows can be a significant source of heat transfer in a home, allowing heat to enter rooms in the summer and escape in winter. Low-emissive (Low-E) windows hinder heat transfer while still allowing daylight to pass through. Not only can Low-E windows help A/C units operate more efficiently, they can also prevent fading of fabrics, floor coverings and furniture from sunlight entering a home.

Air management Air leaks can increase heating and cooling costs for a typical existing home in the United States by an average of 15 percent, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. A newly constructed home with properly sealed ductwork inside and tight airway leading outside can help reduce your energy bills.

Minimizing air leaks begins with tight construction in which all the joints where walls, floors and roofs come together are properly sealed. Weather stripping around doors and windows reduces air flow and prevents dust from entering. Inside, duct work should be properly sealed to prevent air leaks and condensation, and tested to ensure no leaks occur.

Water heating The U.S. Energy Information Administration indicates that according to a 2009 Residential Energy Consumption Survey, water heating can account for

Retta Ripperger nearly 20 percent of a Realtor® home’s total energy use.

Certified Residential Specialist Let “R” Realty be your realty!

Modern, energy-effi114 North Elm • Creston cient water heaters can 641-782-9408 retta@realestateismy.name heat the same amount of water as older models, while using less energy. If you’re having a home built for you, ask the builder about installing an energy-efficient water heater. Clayton Homes use water heaters with thicker side walls that have higher insulation values and are better at retaining heat.

Small, yet significant steps Some steps that seem minor can actually add up to much greater energy efficiency long-term. For example, installing CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs rather than traditional incandescent bulbs wherever possible can help reduce electric bills. CFLs use less energy to produce the same amount of light as incandescent bulbs, and can last much longer.

Programmable thermostats, like the ones Clayton includes standard in many of its manufactured homes, deliver improved comfort and can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs. Reducing temperature settings just seven to 10 degrees for eight hours a day can trim up to 10 percent off your utility bills, according to the Department of Energy.

Programmable thermostats automate the process, so you can maintain a more comfortable temperature when needed and automatically change the setting when you’re asleep or away from home.

Stranger danger Dear Readers: Summer’s here, and most children are out of school! The National Crime Prevention Council, www.ncpc.org, has some great hints for families to talk to their children about. STRANGER DANGER is real! Teach children these hints: * Strangers can be polite and clean-cut – not just scary-looking, bad people.

Be suspicious of people you don’t know asking you into their homes, or to find their puppy, or asking for directions. * There are good strangers – policemen, firefighters and librarians, for example.

It’s their job to help people. * A good memory trick is to remember: No, Go, Yell, Tell. It’s OK to raise your voice if you’re scared.

Parents, use these hints to keep your kids safe: * Go around your neighborhood and show your kids safe places they can go to. * If your kids have a “gut feeling” about something not being right, tell them to go with it.

– Heloise P.S.: A wonderful reader hint was to tell children that if they get lost or separated, or feel scared, look for a mother with children!

Probably a safe bet.

BROKEN, BUT CLEAN

Dear Heloise:

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, June 30, 2016

THE FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bil Keane

Hints from Heloise Spring-cleaning is not just about being clean. When you deep-clean, you look for things that need repair.

It’s important to recognize areas of the home that need attention before the problem becomes irreparable.

I was spring-cleaning and noticed a brown stain on my window seal. We were able to fix the problem before it ruined our window.

– Sue W. in Florida, transplanted from Pennsylvania, where spring-cleaning was important KIDS PLAY Dear Heloise: When I get a new appliance delivered, my grandchildren aren’t too interested in it, but they love the box it comes in. They love it when I throw some crayons in the box.

They scramble into the box, and color the inside of the box! – Nana in Boise, Idaho BIRD IN THE HOUSE Dear Heloise: My condo had a real problem with wrens nesting in the gutters.

They came back every year to the same place, and not only nested in the gutters, but burrowed under the shingles on the roof. No mat-

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

ter what we put there, be it wood, plastic or metal, the birds would peck through it in minutes.

Finally we decided on a different approach and put up BIRDHOUSES near their nesting places. In about five minutes they occupied the birdhouses and abandoned the nests in the gutters. – Sarah T. via email PERFECT FIT Dear Heloise: I found a great way to make pillowcases fit. I place the pillow in a plastic shopping bag and slip that into the pillowcase, then remove the plastic bag.

Works like a charm! – Penny S. in Baton Rouge, La.

HAMBURGER GREASE Dear Heloise: When I cook hamburgers, to drain them, I fold several layers of newspaper and top it with a layer of paper towels. I can’t BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker believe all the grease it soaks up! I love your hints – thank you! – Helen G., Pacolet, S.C. Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. (c)2016 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE®

HOLY SPIRIT CATHOLIC CHURCH, 107 W. Howard St.,

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, June 30, 2016

Light up the church building A little story that illustrates the problem of attendance goes like this: In a certain mountain village in Europe several centuries ago, a nobleman wondered what legacy he should leave to people in his town. At last he decided to build them a church building.

No one saw the complete plans for the building until it was finished. When the people gathered, they marveled at its beauty and completeness.

Then someone asked, “But where are the lamps?

How will it be lighted?”

The nobleman pointed to some brackets in the walls.

Then he gave to each family a candle which they were to bring with them each time they came to worship.

“Each time you are here, the area where you are seated will be lighted,” the nobleman said. “Each time you are not here, that area will be dark. This is to remind you that whenever you fail to come to church, some part of God’s house will be dark.”

Should we start giving out candles next Sunday?

This is just a story but it has a stinging point. Those who seldom, if ever, attend worship or Bible study may be like those of whom it was said: “The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up” (Matthew 4:16).

Jesus also said, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.” (Matthew 5:14-15).

Attending all services of the church is letting your light shine – after all you come to worship God and study His word – then leave to serve.

Maybe it would be good to pray, “For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.” (Psalm 18:28). ~ from http://www.vscoc. org/Bulletinfdr/bulletin_ fodder.htm a.m. worship service.

MURRAY—Murray and Orient-Macksburg’s Bluegrass Conference baseball game was cruising right along as one of the better baseball games this season.

Then the ninth inning came around.

Orient-Macksburg took advantage of a depleted Murray pitching staff to pull out a 20-7, nine-inning win at Murray.

The host Mustangs had battled back from a 6-2 deficit with a run in the seventh, tying the score at 7-7 and forcing it into extra innings.

Each team played a scoreless eighth inning.

And that’s when the game became even more interesting.

Because of a Bluegrass Conference doubleheader scheduled for tonight at Twin Cedars, Murray was CNA photo by RYAN KRONBERG forced to go much farther Orient-Macksburg junior Triston Davidson slides in under the tag of Murray eighth-grade pitcher Reece Held during the ninth inning of Wednesday’s Bluegrass Conference baseball game in Murray.

Mount Ayr lights up the scoreboard, takes two on Wednesday

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@ crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Coming off a 12-0, three-inning win over Orient-Macksburg and a couple hours of rest, Mount Ayr hit the ball even better in a 20-9 victory over West Central Valley Wednesday at the Mount Ayr Softball Classic.

The scoring was highlighted by a two-run home run blast by Caroline McAlexander in the second inning and a grand slam from Tessa Shields to left-center.

The Raiderettes blasted 19 hits over six innings of play, and scored in each inning except the third.

A nine-run explosion — courtesy of 11 hits over 15 batters — had Mount Ayr poised to route the Wildcats.

Nine hits came consecutively in a machine-like display of hitting, with most of the base knocks going right back up the middle.

“When we came in that second inning after the first inning, right away Macy

Larsen and a couple of the early girls said ‘she’s going to locate it right here that first pitch be ready.’ And we hadn’t noticed that that second-pitch changeup was hurting us,” Mount Ayr coach Bret Ruggles said.

“She threw a lot of second maybe third pitch changeups there that was bothering us a little bit so we decided to jump on that first pitch and see if we could get after it a bit right away.”

The Wildcats responded with a five-run inning of its own in the bottom of the second — West Central Valley won a coin flip to be the home team — to breathe some life back into the team, and in turn, the game.

“I’m not sure if it was just the way they were hitting it or the spots they were putting it in but we just seemed to not get the outs that we normally do,” Ruggles said.

“And that’s got me a little nervous I’ll admit tonight.”

The two squads scratched and clawed, and with a tworun effort in the fourth, West Central Valley was within

four runs at 12-8. The Raiderettes answered back with two scores in the top of the fifth and six in the sixth.

Alyssa Johnson went 3-for-4 with a triple and a double. Megan Warin went 2-for-5 with two doubles.

Shields had a 3-for-5 game.

Sam McGill hit three singles and went 3-for-5. Maddie Mobley had a 2-for-5 night.

“We feel like we’re playing really hot softball right now, but we’ve got to keep it going,” Ruggles said.”

The Raiderettes play at Nodaway Valley tonight.

Play at the Mount Ayr Softball Classic ends on Saturday, where the Raiderettes have two games. Mount Ayr has its eyes on a numerical prize this coming weekend as well.

“To see 17 wins now, we have chance for 18, 19, and possibly 20 over the weekend. We’ve got a really good chance at 20 wins, that’s our goal,” Ruggles said.

Former SWCC coach treasures experience with Pat Summitt It took me awhile to get through to former Southwestern Community College men’s basketball coach Steve Forbes Tuesday afternoon.

When I called, he was on the phone with a Memphis radio station. Earlier, he had been on television with local stations, as the head coach at East Tennessee State University with memories working alongside Pat Summitt for five years at the University of Tennessee.

Before that, a reporter from The Sporting News had given him a call to reflect on his experience in Knoxville on the same staff of the stalwart of women’s basketball (and women’s athletics) who died earlier that day, five years after being diagnosed with early onset dementia.

Pat Summitt was 64. Far too young, considering how many more lives she could have affected, Forbes said.

She coached UT women’s basketball for 38 years, compiling a record of 1,098-208 (.841 winning percentage) with 32 SEC titles, 18 Final Fours and eight national championships.

Unyielding standards But, Forbes told me that numbers didn’t even come close to describing the legacy of Summitt.

One number that does stand out to Forbes is 122. That’s the number of players who completed their eligibility under Summitt — and all earned their degrees.

Straight shots Larry Peterson sports writer

“I’ll tell you what I got from coach Summitt while working down the hall from her for five years,” said Forbes, an assistant for Bruce Pearl at Tennessee from 2006 to 2011. “It was not drills, Not offense. Not defense. What I take away is that she had a set of standards that would not be compromised. If you missed class, you missed a game. I don’t care who you were. At practice, there were standards demanded every day, and if you didn’t rise to it, you would be held accountable.

From the best player to the worst player. I learned from her that if you coach the best player the hardest, then the others will follow in line. It was all about the program, there were no favorites.”

Summitt’s concern for all of Tennessee’s programs, not just her own, spilled over to several of Forbes’ memories. The staffs frequently watched each other’s practices, and one day she couldn’t keep quiet while watching Pearl lead the men through a workout.

“The guys were going up and down without a lot of intensity and all of a sudden Pat stopped everything and yelled, ‘You guys aren’t going hard enough!’ Coach

Pearl put them on the line and ran them,” Forbes said. “She loved the game of basketball and there was a certain way she thought it should be played. It was about respect for the game.”

Tested on visit Forbes was an assistant coach at Texas A&M when Pearl called him and asked him to visit Knoxville to consider being an assistant for him. The Lone Tree native had gotten his start at SWCC, working as an assistant Forbes for two years before guiding the Spartans in the two seasons ending in 1992 and 1993.

He coached successfully at the juco level elsewhere, and worked his way into the Division I ranks as an assistant. Yet, there was a humbling moment during his 24-hour visit to Knoxville.

“Coach Pearl showed me around a little and then he said, ‘Now for the next half hour Pat Summitt wants to meet with you.’ I thought, what am I going to do there?”

Forbes said. “I was nervous about that.”

For good reason. Summitt’s icy stare was legendary, and Forbes found himself face to face with it in her office.

“She told me how important Tennessee was to her,” Forbes

said. “Then she looked me straight in the eyeballs and said ‘What do you bring to the table?’ That’s how important Tennessee was to her.”

Forbes was taken aback by the question, but he got the point. Anybody who shares an athletic office in that building better do positive things for UT and the program.

Mutual support Walking by the eight national championship trophies won by the women every day at work didn’t create any rivalry between the men’s and women’s programs.

Pearl and Summitt were big fans of each other’s teams. One night on an ESPN women’s game in Knoxville, Pearl wore no shirt and painted his body orange before sitting in the stands.

The next year, Summitt returned the favor for a televised men’s game, coming out in a cheerleader’s uniform with her staff as they sang the school song, “Rocky Top.” Two friends of Forbes from Creston and SWCC — Ron “Fox” Clinton and Bill Krejci — were present for that game on a visit to the Knoxville campus.

Krejci said he also got to watch one of Summitt’s practices.

“If you think I yelled a lot, wow, she really got after her players!”

Krejci said. “I also talked with her at a football game in Knoxville after she broke her arm wrestling with a raccoon that attacked her dog. What a woman and what a coach.”

When Pearl brought in a couple of McDonald’s All-American recruits, the coaches took them to Summitt’s house for a Friday night dinner she was hosting for some of her own recruits.

“I doubt (UConn’s Jim ) Calhoun and Geno (Auriemma) were doing that,” Forbes said. “That was the type of relationship we had.”

Taskmaster Legend has it that Summitt’s standards were so rigid, that she told legendary player Nancy Lieberman at halftime of a national team’s game that if she didn’t rebound any better in the second half, she may as well drop from the team. Yet, she was beloved by those same players she pushed so hard.

Forbes tries to pattern his relationships with hs payers after Summitt’s legendary bond with hers.

“The great coaches see things in their players that even the players themselves don’t see,” Forbes said.

“The hardest thing as a coach is to get the players to do the things they need to do, to achieve the things they want to achieve, if you know what I mean. She pushed those players to be better than they ever imagined. On and off the court.

The fact that they all graduated is just unheard of, but she wanted them to succeed in life.”

Lady Mustangs bats not enough against fifth-ranked Blue Devils

By KALEB CARTER CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestnnews.com

MOUNT AYR — There was not near enough torque in the Murray bats Wednesday as the Lady Mustangs fell 4-2 to Class 1A fifth-ranked Martensdale St. Marys at the Mount Ayr Softball Classic.

Murray struck first in the first inning. Brandi Gilbert cracked a double to right-center and took third on a wild pitch with one out.

Breianna Klein then singled sharply past the Blue Devils shortstop to score Gilbert and put the Lady Mustangs on top.

After the first inning, the Blue Devils went to a con-

into its pitching staff than had been planned.

The lack of pitching depth

by Murray became readily apparent as three Mustang pitchers struggled to put the ball over the plate. The pitching struggles — four walks and three hit batsmen — combined with seven hits and two errors, led to the Bulldogs plating 13 runs.

“You had a little bit of everything,” said Orient-Macksburg coach Drew Dornack. “It was like the Iowa weather.”

In the inning, Orient-Macksburg sent 20 batters to the plate before Murray could end it.

The half inning took approximately 40 minutes to complete.

It was a scenario Murray coach Travis Held had been a part of before and one he may never see again.

“I’ve never been involved an inning like that, never had something like that,” Held said.

Orient-Macksburg features a lineup that can be tough to get out at times.

Good plate discipline also played a role in the decisive

sistent strategy of small ball that worked well.

In the third inning, a couple bunts, two errors and a Kaci Sherwood double over right fielder Hailey Chew’s head led to the Blue Devils taking a 2-1 lead.

“Looking back on it, we should have had Hailey a little deeper, but I underestimated the power there,’ Murray coach Danny Jensen said. “That pitcher (Kaci Sherwood) is a pretty strong girl.”

The Blue Devils tacked on another run in the fifth when another error was followed Community School District byCreston a Jamie Jordan double Combined Earnings Report without Benefits that put Martensdale St. 2015-2016 Fiscal Year Marys 3-1.

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

So, all is well now with Tony Stewart?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Well, now, who saw THAT coming?

GODSPEAK: Um, if you review the tape, I had picked “Smoke” as my dark-horse favorite in last week’s picks.

Thank you. Please be seated.

Thank you.

KEN’S CALL: You know I didn’t see it coming. I practically guaranteed a winless final season for Tony. I’ll try to deal with my shortsightedness.

Odds that Tony still misses the Chase?

GODSPEAK: After the Coke Zero 400 or a week later, he will be Chase-eligible.

KEN’S CALL: Slim and none. If he can’t reach the top 30 in points, he should be bounced to the ARCA Series.

Who’s the next surprise winner?

GODSPEAK: I’m going with Chase Elliott or Ryan Blaney or Kyle Larson. Those would be half-surprise winners.

KEN’S CALL: Danica Patrick.

OK, just kidding. Either Ryan Newman or Greg Biffle. No, actually, I’m going AJ Allmendinger. Have I covered all the bases yet?

3 THINGS WE LEARNED AT SONOMA

Can you explain?

Last Friday, Tony was griping, as he’ll do from time to time, and basically telling the media he couldn’t wait to get out of his hulking NASCAR machine after this year and start driving “stuff that makes me happy.” Then he won on Sunday. During Friday's clearing of the mind, he also took a shot at the week ahead and his dislike of restrictor-plate racing, saying that “there is nothing I’m going to miss” about Daytona after he retires.

Tony Stewart, driving the No. 14 Chevrolet, leads Denny Hamlin, who is behind the wheel of the No. 11 Toyota, through Turn 11 in the closing laps of the road-course race at Sonoma on Sunday. AP/BEN MARGOT

That’s good?

1. Road racing

2. Not done yet

3. Experience counts

Sonoma Raceway and Watkins Glen, both road-course venues, have consistently delivered some of NASCAR’s best racing each season. From start to finish, Sonoma was entertaining on Sunday, with TWO passes for the lead on the last lap. Doesn’t get much better than that.

Tony Stewart, the “oldschool” version of Tony Stewart, was on full display at Sonoma. He smashed out of his 84-race funk with a stirring victory over Denny Hamlin.

With a Chase playoff spot assured and confidence at full throttle, Stewart will retire at the top of his game.

All those young, hotshot drivers we seem to talk about every week struggled at Sonoma. Road-course racing is just a completely different animal. “It was a long day,” said Ryan Blaney, 22, after finishing 23rd. “I have no idea.

People check up and you run into them.”

Much like Dale Earnhardt, Tony never misses an opportunity to gripe about plate-racin’, yet like the late Intimidator, Tony long ago seemed to master the art of finding his way to the front at Daytona. No, he never won the Daytona 500, but he’s won 11 points-paying races at Daytona (four Cup, seven Xfinity). Backto-back, perhaps? Don’t bet against it.

Well, kindasorta. It depends on whether you buy the conventional wisdom that Tony drives harder and better when he’s Things may be looking up for Tony Stewart. in a bad mood.

ASSOCIATED PRESS/ As NASCAR makes its way to CARLOS OSORIO Daytona Beach for Saturday night’s Coke Zero 400, it’s a great time to consider the merits of that theory.

562 527 510 506 493 473 469 469 452 430 421 413 402 400 398 385 382 365 361 355 352 315 290 288 278

The 40-something ranks are thinning faster than their hairlines, but the seven fulltime drivers at that milestone age have earned six wins this season. Tony Stewart at Sonoma became the fourth 40-something driver to win a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race this year. The 45-yearold joins Matt Kenseth (44), Jimmie Johnson (40) and Kevin Harvick (40) on the graybeard list. JJ is best-in-class with two victories.

2. Plate racers If you are looking for some sort of continuity to recent restrictor-plate race wins at Daytona and Talladega, there

FEUD OF THE WEEK BRAD KESELOWSKI VS. BRAD KESELOWSKI: This is a unique situation.

This is a driver mad at himself.

“We had better speed than we’ve Keselowski ever had before, but I just made too many mistakes,” he said.

LET/RUSTY JARRETT

is one entity that jumps off the list – Hendrick Motorsports or teams affiliated with the mega-team. Over the past five years (not including ’16), Hendrick teams have won five races at Daytona and two at Talladega — 35 percent of races run since 2011. In that same span, Team Penske has three wins; Toyota, one.

3. Flying cars Cup Series stock cars are made for speed, but not to fly.

In the race at Talladega Superspeedway in May, three cars lifted off the ground, including a dramatic up-and-over by Chris Buescher. In last year’s Coke Zero 400, Austin Dillon’s No. 3 Chevy flew over two lanes of racing traffic and got into the catch fence beyond the finish line on the last lap of racing. NASCAR continues to study, but has found no remedy, yet.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Believe me: this is the worst form of being mad at someone when that someone is you. Brad will have a long talk with Brad and get this settled before reaching Daytona.
