Creston Farmers Market kicks off

By CARTER ECKL CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

The first Farmers Market of the season kicked off Monday at McKinley Park.

Vendors sold items ranging from plants to vegetables, metallic sunflowers, soaps and bread.

Live music accompanied those searching for and operating the booths.

About 20 vendor booths circled near the parking lot on the southeast side of McKinley Park. Various amounts of success were had by different vendors.

Some first-time participants saw unexpected sales while some returnees think they might have been just a little late this year.

Vendor’s backgrounds fluctuated from avid farmers to first-timers encouraged by their peers to see what kind of interest they could draw.

Jeamene Pierce of Winterset has been selling plants at local farmers markets for the past five years.

Pierce was selling various plants ranging from tomatoes to peppers.

Pierce has been planting gardens since she was 18 and admits it has turned into quite the hobby.

“I THINK it got warm so quick, I think people just planted everything earlier than usual.”

Iowa agency seeks outside review amid deaths of 2 teen girls DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa agency that oversees the state’s child welfare system is seeking help from a nonprofit group to review its procedures following the death of two teenage girls, the department announced Monday.

The review by the Alabama-based Child Welfare Policy and Practice Group

on the Iowa Department of Human Services follows the October 2016 death of Natalie Finn of West Des Moines and the death of Sabrina Ray of Perry last month. The 16-year-old girls, who were both adopted from state care, were found dead in their homes.

Tyler Raasch of Bridgewater, left, and Lisa Sawtelle of Creston distribute produce Monday afternoon from the Bridgewater Farm booth at the first Creston Farmers Market of 2017. The farmers market is held every Monday in the southeast corner of McKnley Park from 4 to 6:30 p.m. through September 25.

“It’s kind of an obsession, but I think it got warm so quick, I think people just planted everything earlier than usual,” said Pierce.

Pierce didn’t see the sales she would have liked this weekend but encouraged everyone who just started planting, or just purchased plants to get their seedlings into the ground quickly.

While gardening is clear-

ly a passion, Pierce sticks to only the Creston and Winterset markets to sell her plants.

There were also kids’ activities, featuring vegetable stamping this week. The activities will continue to be put on for each upcoming farmers market.

The next two weeks of kids’ activities will be folding origami and frisbee spin art. The final activity

for the month of June will be decorating pots with each participant taking home a packet of vegetable seeds of their choosing.

Demonstrations from various local businesses will accompany the kids’ activities.

Creston’s Farmers Market will continue to run each Monday from 4 to 6:30 p.m. until September 25.

DES MOINES (AP) — A century-old train trestle stands as one of the trophies of Des Moines’ push to spruce up its downtown.

Bicyclists and pedestrians pose for pictures beside the brightly painted beams of the Red Bridge and gather on viewing platforms overlooking the Des Moines River.

But little more than a decade after it was restored, crews went back to the site with a crane to hoist the span 4½ feet (1.4 meters) higher, at a cost of $3 million, after experts concluded

that the river’s flooding risk was nearly double earlier estimates. Climate change was likely to blame.

“It was like a bomb was dropped off in our lap,” City Engineer Pam Cooksey said of the revised flood forecasts from the Army Corps of Engineers. The findings suggested that the bridge could act as a dam during bad storms, sending waves of backed-up floodwater into the refurbished business district.

Trump infrastructure push faces cold shoulder from Congress WASHINGTON (AP) — Repairing the nation’s crumbling roads and bridges was supposed to be an area ripe for bipartisan compromise between congressional Democrats and President Donald Trump. Instead, Democrats are panning Trump’s proposed $1 trillion overhaul and even Republicans are balking at some aspects of the emerging plan.

The White House’s self-proclaimed “Infrastructure Week” began with

Trump appearing Monday with aviation officials and some prominent GOP lawmakers to announce plans to privatize the nation’s air traffic control system and separate operations from the Federal Aviation Administration.

“We live in a modern age yet our air traffic control system is stuck, painfully, in the past,” Trump said, noting the FAA had been working TRUMP | 12A

Bernard Sobotka Diagonal

Bernard Andrew Sobotka, 90, of Lebanon, Ohio, formerly of Diagonal, died Friday, May 26, 2017, at Otterbein Lebanon Senior Lifestyle Community.

A celebration of life service will be 11 a.m.

Saturday, June 10, at United Church of Diagonal in Diagonal. Sobotka There will be military honors provided by Morris-Herald Post No. 395, American Legion.

Memorials are to United Church of Diagonal and Morris-Herald Post No. 395, American Legion, in Diagonal. Online condolences may be left at www. armstrongfh.com.

Bernard, son of Andrew Joseph and Eva Marie (Driskell) Sobotka, was born March 8, 1927, in Diagonal. Bernard grew up in Diagonal and graduated from Diagonal High School in 1945. He enlisted in the Army Air Corp and left for Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, the day after graduation.

DHS: CONT. FROM | 1A

The adoptive parents of each girl face charges in connection with the deaths.

The announcement was made by DHS spokeswoman Amy McCoy shortly after a joint legislative committee began meeting at the Capitol to discuss the agency’s procedures. The bipartisan panel questioned the state’s process for removing foster children from homes and the workload of social workers who handle such cases.

“The number of intakes are going up and the number of assessments that we’re accepting are going up,” said Vern Armstrong, the DHS division administrator of field operations. “Right now our workers are feeling overwhelmed.”

Both girls had been monitored by DHS before their deaths, according to state lawmakers. Natalie and Sabrina were both foster care children who were removed from public schools and began home schooling once adopted, lawmakers emphasized.

Since the investigations are ongoing, officials from DHS were unable to comment on the specific cases, but lawmakers centered their questions on the shared circumstances.

Wendy Rickman, the DHS division administrator of adult children and family services, stressed that DHS protective service workers do not have the authority in Iowa to remove a child from a parent.

additional concern that home-schooling for foster children removes them from mandatory abuse reporters, like teachers, and criticized a 2013 law that allowed home school parents to opt out of child welfare monitoring by the state.

“We don’t even know they exist,” said Sen. Matt McCoy, a Democrat and ranking member on the committee.

“They go completely dark.”

Rickman outlined the check-steps on various agency practices. Rickman said the agency will examine greater restrictions if recommended.

A high workload and understaffing for child welfare agencies developed as a common theme in testimonies. Republican Sen. Michael Breitbach, committee co-chair, expressed interest in finding a solution to the heavy caseloads and invited DHS case workers to contact him confidentially about their experiences.

While the committee does not have another meeting scheduled, the Child Welfare Policy and Practice Group will begin evaluating the department’s resources and recent cases in the coming months.

seen as posing the greatest risk to coastal areas. But the nation’s inland cities face perils of their own, including more intense storms and more frequent flooding. Even as President Donald Trump has announced his intention for the U.S. to withdraw from a global climate agreement, many of the nation’s river communities are responding to climate change by raising or replacing bridges that suddenly seem too low to stay safely above water.

The reconstructed bridges range from multi-lane structures that handle heavy traffic loads to small rural spans traversed by country school buses and farmers shuttling between their fields. The bridges are being raised even in states such as Texas, where political leaders have long questioned whether climate change is real.

In Milwaukee, bridges have been raised as part of $400 million in flood-management projects across a metro area with 28 communities. In Reno, Nevada, officials spent about $18 million to replace a bridge over the Truckee River last year and plan to replace three more after flood-danger projections were increased by up to 15 percent.

Because the cities are inland, “A lot of these are not the kind of places that people are used to thinking of being in the forefront of climate change,” said Jim Schwab, manager of the Hazards Planning Center at the American Planning Association, which is working with nearly a dozen cities on flood-mitigation options.

Many communities are “still feeling their way through this particular problem,” he said.

No one tracks how many communities are raising bridges or replacing them with higher ones, but the Federal Emergency Management Agency says it’s now routinely providing money for this purpose, although no dollar total is available. Typically, more than 1,500 bridges are reconstructed each year for an assortment of reasons.

Schwab said he’s sure hundreds and possibly thousands of bridge-raising projects have been completed recently or are planned.

A cursory check by the AP in a handful of states found at least 20 locations where bridges have been raised or construction will begin soon. & FEMA is now finalizing a rule that states that floods “are expected to be more frequent and more Brad Riley Jake Riley severe over the next cen- 641-344-2064 641-202-2442 tury due in part to the proFREE Estimates jected effects of climate “No job too big or too small!” change.” That could mean bandbhomeimprovement@gmail.com higher costs for a country that sustained more than www.bandbhomeimprovementllc.com $260 billion in flood damFollow us on

of Ringgold County U.S. Agriculture and Soil Conservation Service (ASCS) from 1961 through August 1989. Bernard and Marilyn moved from their farm east of Diagonal to Sun Valley Lake in 1986. In 2000, they moved to Creston before settling in Lebanon, Ohio, in 2010.

Bernard was a long time member of United Church of Diagonal, serving as board chairman for many years. He served on Diagonal School Board and was a member of American Legion and Diagonal Lions Club.

Bernard is survived by his spouse, Marilyn of Lebanon, Ohio; children, Kathy (Ron Beymer) of Cincinnati, Ohio, Dennis (Nancy) of Ogden, Utah, Kim of Phoenix, Arizona, Jodi (Jeff Nerad) of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Jon (Jenelle) of Cincinnati, Ohio; brothers, Joe (Bernadine) of Diagonal, Wallace (Patty) of Diagonal and Chuck (Cawren) of Conrad; sisters, Margaret McGinnis of Tabor and Sheryl Strange of Virginia Beach, Virginia; grandchildren, Kathy - Courtney (Jeff) Damon and Andee (John) Schneider, Kim Megan (Adam) Page and Dylan (Arielle) Hendricks, and Jon - Drew and Jamie; and great-grandchildren, Jack Damon, Ellie and Sophie Schneider and Holden and Harrison Page.

age between 1980 and 2013.

Given the Trump administration’s skepticism of climate change, however, a FEMA spokeswoman says the agency “has not determined what its next action will be” on the rule. The Corps of Engineers did not respond to requests for information on cities where flood risks have been reassessed.

Increasing humidity from the more than 1.5 degree increase in global temperatures since 1880 has resulted in more intense downpours, according to David R. Easterling, director of the national climate assessment unit at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

“It causes day after day of rainfall, and that leads to flooding,” Easterling said.

In some cases, a city’s 100-year flood could be seen as twice what it was 40 years ago, with double the risk, as it was for Des Moines. A 100-year flood is the worst flood that can be expected to happen over a century. It has a 1 percent chance of occurring in any given year.

River level forecasts have increased in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, since tropic-like rainstorms in 2008 caused the normally placid Cedar River to climb higher than anyone thought possible, eventually topping the previous record flood by 11 feet (3.4 meters). More than 1,100 blocks in Iowa’s second-largest city wound up underwater.

Afterward, the Corps of Engineers raised Cedar Rapids’ projections for a 100-year flood by 8 percent. As part of a massive flood-control project, the city decided to raise its Eighth Avenue Bridge by 14 feet (4.3 meters), putting it 28 feet (8.6 meters) above the average water surface.

“What used to be the norm is no longer the norm,” said Rob Davis, the city’s flood-control program manager. “The norm is much higher.”

Elsewhere, the college town of Iowa City plans to add about 5 feet (1.5 meters) of clearance with a new bridge over the Iowa River, and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District raised a bridge over the Kinnickinnic River to prevent the waterway from backing up amid downpours.

Similar projects are planned in Hobart, Indiana, and Rockford, Illinois, where higher river levels have been projected.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, June 6, 2017

The cavalry has arrived ... finally It only took about five months, but finally, help is here.

The addition to our newsroom of staff reporters Carter Eckl and Alex Felker has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders and given me much less stress in my life.

How Bailey Poolman and I survived that long short two reporters, especially through Progress season, is beyond me. But, we somehow managed.

In my little-more-than-a-year stint as managing editor, it’s been one challenge after another. January through May was the biggest obstacle of all.

I can’t express enough how happy I am to finally have filled the two job openings in our newsroom.

And most importantly, I’m excited to see what both Eckl and Felker accomplish in their roles.

I have high expectations for both

Vick-tory lap Scott Vicker managing editor

of them, but I am confident in their abilities.

Already, they’ve both shown an ability to learn quickly and a willingness to take on anything.

Their arrival in Creston has lifted the morale of the newsroom. After so long, Poolman and I were, in a sense, defeated.

Trying to keep up with the daily grind of reporting on meetings and various other story ideas submitted to us took its toll.

Eckl and Felker have been almost as refreshing as taking a vacation, because their arrival has relieved Poolman and I of a

mountain of pressure.

And, best of all, both Eckl and Felker have been a blast to get to know. I’ve enjoyed learning about them and developing a friendship with each of them.

I hope that you, our readers, will also welcome them to Creston with open arms and enjoy getting to know them.

Soon, they will both be writing their own columns in our newspaper, which will really provide an opportunity for them to connect with our readers.

Eckl has already been here in Creston for about a month, but please, if you see either him or Felker out in public, take a moment to welcome them.

••• Switching gears now, I’ve become a total Anglophile since I took my trip to London in October to visit my sister and her

family.

I’ve taken up a hobby of learning as much about London and its history as I can.

That has made the recent attacks in London rather disheartening to me.

Sarah and her family are OK, by the way. During last week’s attack on London Bridge, they were fortunately out of London, enjoying a Disney cruise for a family vacation.

I know Sarah and her family still feel safe in London and love living there. And I feel totally safe visiting them.

I never once felt threatened or concerned for my safety during my visit to London. I won’t feel threatened or concerned for my safety the next time I visit them, either.

My parents recently returned

from a trip to visit them in London, as well. I would venture to guess they never felt threatened either, except for maybe my dad going through TSA at the airport for his first flight.

Their trip occurred shortly after the attack on Westminster Bridge, a bridge I had walked across probably no less than 10 times during my weeklong stay in London.

One thing that has stood out to me in the wake of the attacks in London is how the people of the city have rallied around each other.

If anything, the attacks have made the city stronger.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thank you Creston News Advertiser From Pam Hoffman Kent

For those who are unaware, Creston News Advertiser supplies up to five free newspapers to area classrooms daily throughout the school year. I teach English to high school students, and each day a portion of my class is devoted to reading something that does not require a screen – for example no computers, Kindles, phones, etc.

When students don’t have a

book, I suggest the newspaper. At first, many of them didn’t think much of that suggestion, but before long, they were asking if I had the new edition of the paper. Some of them told me they had never even looked at a newspaper until they read it in my classroom. They were even reading the ads and telling me what was on sale and where.

I’d like to thank CNA for enhancing education in our communities – especially when schools are so limited on funds.

Leaving Paris HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The White House faced grilling from reporters Friday over President Trump’s environmental treaty pullout. TV and movie stars went ballistic. President Trump can’t explain to Hollywood his decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, except to say that he must have lost his head.

President Trump urged Congress to get to work this week on legislation to replace ObamaCare and to cut taxes. The country is split over him. The latest poll shows that 44 percent of Americans want to re-elect President Trump, while 44 percent want whatever Tiger was taking.

Tiger Woods said he passed out in his car Tuesday while high on sleeping pills. His mistresses said Tiger takes sleeping pills to boost sexual enjoyment. Tiger Woods once asked Bill Cosby if he could ask him for some advice based on his own personal experience, and Bill said knock yourself out.

Psychology Today last week listed procrastination, drugs, alcohol, comfort eating, and career self-destruction as the commonest forms of self-sabotage. The race to self-destruction can be competitive. Bill Maher just told Tiger Woods and Kathy Griffin that Amateur Night is on Mondays.

Senator Ben Sasse was on Bill Maher and invited Bill to work in the cornfields for Nebraska’s harvest this fall, and Bill laughed and said no, he’s a House N-word.

I was shocked. Bill is half Jewish

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

and half Catholic, how could he possibly know the words to my fraternity pledge class song?

HBO star Bill Maher quickly apologized for his casual use of the N-word while joking around with Senator Ben Sasse on his show Saturday. That’s the responsible course. Las Vegas oddsmakers were laying 3-to-1 that Bill would claim President Trump bullied him into saying it.

Kathy Griffin accused President Trump of bullying her after she posted a photo of herself holding up his severed head. It couldn’t possibly be Kathy’s fault. Who will ever forget the Democratic Party explanation that the Russians hacked Kathy Griffin’s brain in order to disrupt the investigation.

Kathy Griffin appeared at a press conference in Hollywood Friday and she broke down crying, saying Trump bullied her by protesting the photo she posted of her holding up his severed head.

She’s angry CNN canceled her New Year’s Eve gig. Kathy should cheer up, there’s always Halloween.

London Bridge was again the target of a terrorist attack Saturday following the recent wave of attacks in Manchester, in Europe and Ohio. It never ends. If the

number of Islamic terror attacks continues at the current rate, candlelight vigils will soon be the No. 1 cause of global warming.

The Republican head of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee is reportedly trying to round up all the copies of the torture report denouncing the CIA for its treatment of captured terrorists. Trump says he wants to bring back water-boarding. He said it will be the best torture ever, we’ll use Perrier.

The Secret Service announced they’ll no longer refuse to hire applicants who have previously smoked pot. It was a group decision. When the president is in South America and the agents are drinking and snorting coke with hookers after hours, they need a little something to take the edge off.

President Trump laid out his case for withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord last week, saying it unfairly hurts the U.S. and helps China and India. It probably won’t hurt him. The vast majority of Americans think the Paris agreement has something to do with France surrendering again.

President Trump infuriated Democrats by withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord Thursday. His next project is to overthrow and replace ObamaCare. Trump is not a racist, but he’s certainly trying to get rid of everything the black guy who lived in the house before him ever touched.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: Privacy, please! How many times have you wanted to close the door on the outside world and take a break?

You can remove yourself from your environment, but what you POSTONLINE pretty much stays there forever.

Be careful, and advise your children and grandchildren about what NOT to post on internet social-media websites. Here are some examples: * A full picture of yourself. Scammers can take this image and create a fake profile of you and fake identification cards to steal your personal information. * Anything that you may want to take down later.

Once something is online, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to permanently delete it. * Of course, personal information: date of birth, Social Security number, address, account information, etc. Be careful with posting pictures; some “tags” can give away your physical location. You don’t want thieves to know when you’re not at home.

There is a lot to learn on this subject. Educate yourself and your family so you

can stay safe in cyberspace.

Apple’s HomePod speaker pumps Fulton birthday card up the volume on tech rivals shower planned SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Apple is hoping a new smart home speaker will strike a chord with music lovers — the latest test of the iPhone maker’s ability to redefine markets originally staked out by its rivals.

The trend-setting company also is putting new twists on existing products as it delves deeper into virtual reality and a form of artificial intelligence called machine learning.

The moves announced Monday escalate Apple’s technological battle of wits with Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook. These giants are battling over still-emerging fields that are expected to turn into technological gold mines, much the way personal computers and smartphones became moneymaking machines in previous decades.

No place like the HomePod The “HomePod� speaker unveiled at Apple’s annual developers conference is similar to rival devices that have been released during the past two years.

Like the Amazon Echo and Google Home, the HomePod will play music while also helping people to manage their lives and homes. Siri, a digital assistant that has been on Apple’s iPhone since 2011, will be voice activated to respond to requests for information and other help around the house.

Unlike those other smart speakers, Apple is positioning the HomePod primarily as a way to listen to and discover new songs and artists. Making the most of it will require a subscription to Apple’s own music streaming service, which runs $10 to $15 per month and has attracted 27 million subscribers so far.

The company is casting Siri as a music connoisseur that will learn and cater to the tastes of the HomePod’s owners, as well as answer questions about the songs as they are played. “It will reinvent home audio,� boasted Apple CEO Tim Cook.

The speaker will sell for about $350 in December in the U.S., U.K. and Australia.

Amazon sells the main version of the Echo for $180; Google’s Home speaker goes for $130.

The Echo, released in 2015, and Google Home, released last year, were the first entrants in a promising market. The research firm eMarketer says than 35 million people in the U.S. are expected to use a voice-activated speaker at least once a month this year, more than double its estimate from last year.

Apple vs. the dry spell The HomePod is Apple’s first new gadget in nearly three years, following its announcement of the Apple Watch in September 2014.

Although that product came out after other smartwatches hit the market, it quickly outshone competitors, according to industry research firms.

Still, the Apple Watch hasn’t been a smash hit, fueling wor-

ries that the company’s ability to transfix customers had waned after the 2011 death of co-founder Steve Jobs. During Jobs’ last decade, Apple introduced the iPod, iPhone and iPad — all huge commercial successes that both reshaped daily life and swamped previous digital music players, smartphones and tablets.

Analysts said the smart home speaker market is ripe for Apple. The company “can’t afford to yield valuable real-estate in the heart of people’s homes to Amazon, Google and others,� said Geoff Blaber, research analyst at CCS Insight. That’s especially important because people are starting to access information, entertainment and search in a more “pervasive� way that’s less dependent on smartphones, he said.

But it’s also possible that the HomePod could expose Siri as less capable than Amazon’s Alexa, Google’s Assistant and Microsoft’s Cortana, Blaber said. (Many reviewers have suggested that the current incarnation of Apple’s assistant already trails competitors in key respects .) “This is the start of the AI wars,� he said.

Macs, phones and payments Apple had plenty of other announcements. New iMacs released Monday are getting better displays and graphics capabilities. Apple said that makes the Mac a great platform for developing virtual-reality “experiences,� although the company didn’t announce any consumer VR products.

Safari, Apple’s web browser, is getting new features aimed at online annoyances.

It will block videos that start playing automatically, for instance, and can also prevent ads from following and profiling users. It will not actually block ads, though.

Apple also introduced a new version of its business-oriented iPad Pro at an intermediate size with more storage, a better display and an improved camera. It’s part of Apple’s effort to entice professionals with tablets that can handle many tasks previously reserved for laptops.

New features coming to iPhones and iPads, meanwhile, include marginal improvements such as syncing messages to Apple servers in the cloud, saving storage space on phones and tablets. Apple also laid some groundwork for augmented reality, the projection of digital features onto real-world surroundings, by giving app developers tools for incorporating AR into their products.

Apple is also bringing the ability to send money to friends or other people through its payment service, Apple Pay. So far, the service has limited payments to purchases of products and services from companies and other organizations.

The free software update for mobile devices, iOS 11, is expected in September, when Apple typically releases new iPhones.

Chuck Berry’s final album was Krantz, Schroeder plan made on his own terms UNIVERSITY CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chuck Berry did things his own way, right up to his final album, a 10-song set nearly four decades in the making.

The St. Louis native widely hailed as the father of rock ‘n’ roll announced plans for the album “CHUCK� in October on his 90th birthday. The music took on added poignancy when Berry died in March. The album will be released Friday.

It’s a fitting finale from the guitar master who melded blues, R&B and country music into a sound that took over the 1950s, forever changing the cultural landscape. Some of the new songs, like “Wonderful Woman� and “Big Boys,� feature the same driving rhythm of his earliest hits like “Maybellene� and “Roll Over Beethoven.� In fact, one of the new songs, “Lady B. Goode,� offers the perspective of the woman left behind by his legendary “Johnny B. Goode.�

But Berry’s son, Charles Berry Jr., said his father did not set out to make a legacy album.

“I think this was just his next body of work, and it just took a lot longer than the other albums to get released,� Charles Berry Jr., 55, said in an interview with The Associated Press. “CHUCK� was a family affair. Charles Berry Jr. plays guitar, as does his own son, Charles Edward Berry III, who turns 23 this week.

Ingrid Berry-Clay, one of Chuck’s three daughters, sings and plays harmonica.

She sings along with her dad on “Darlin’,� a country-tinged ballad that resonates as a final message to his children.

Typical of Berry, the lyrics of “CHUCK� are at times poetic, at other times playful. “Big Boys� harkens to his earlier odes to teenage cravings. “The girls wanna stay and the boys wanna play/So let’s rock ‘n’ roll ‘til the break of day,� he sings.

But in the closing song, “Eyes of Man,� Berry warns philosophically of worshipping false idols. “So be the temples men have cherished/Crumble in ruins to rot and rust/Low lies each pillar and arch to perish/Doomed to decay and rot to dust.�

September wedding

NEWCASTLE, Neb. — Jim and Jan Krantz of Afton announce the engagement and upcoming marriage of their daughter, Leah Krantz, to Tyler Schroeder, son of the late Garry Schroeder and the late Shiela Schroeder, originally of Allen, Nebraska.

Krantz is a 2004 graduate of East Union High School in Afton and a 2008 graduate of University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls with a bachelor’s degree in child and family services. Krantz Leah Krantz and Tyler is currently employed as Schroeder certified child life specialist at Avera Children’s and industrial manageHospital in Sioux Falls, ment. Schroeder is currently self-employed as South Dakota.

Panthers fall short of Fillies Late Creston comeback effort falters ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

A late game comeback effort fell short as Creston’s softball team lost to Shenandoah on Monday 5-3. The loss was Creston’s first against the Fillies since 2008, as Creston fell to 2-5 in Hawkeye 10 conference play.

Creston fell behind 2-0 in the first and 5-0 after four innings. The Panthers man-

aged to score a run in each of the game’s final three frames, but came short with the tying run at the plate to end the night.

“I said we continue to do stuff that prevents us from winning,” Creston coach Mike McCabe said. “Until that stuff gets better, we’re going to continue to have those sort of results.”

Panther starting pitcher Cali Foglesong walked the first two batters she faced and yielded RBIs on a single by Alexis McGinnis and a groundout by Makayla Adkins as Creston fell behind 2-0.

COUNCIL BLUFFS — A quick, skilled Thomas Jefferson girls soccer team scored 15 seconds into the game and kept the offensive pressure up, leading to a 4-1 win last Thursday in a Class 2A Region 1 semifinal win over the Valley girls soccer team.

Valley ends the season at 10-6.

Thomas Jefferson’s Sawyer Eliff scored 15 seconds into the game, dribbling the ball down the field and scoring.

“We came out slow and Thomas Jefferson got up on us quick,” said Valley coach Michael Krawczyk.

Thomas Jefferson added another goal in the 38th minute courtesy of Elliff.

Thomas Jefferson’s overall quickness was too much for Valley.

“The girls fought hard all night, but we couldn’t overcome their speed,” Krawczyk said.

Thomas Jefferson tacked on goals in the 56th minute from Alanis Neely and in the 69th minute from Josephine Starner.

Valley’s lone goal came in the 78th minute from Josi Ocheltree.

Krawczyk and assistant coach Craig Pauley were happy with the season.

“The girls can be proud of the season they had,” Krawczyk said.

“The coaching staff is very proud of the girls on the season they had.”

Creston’s baseball team needed a win to start the week, with a pair of league doubleheaders coming on Thursday and Friday and a nonleague trip to Class 4A power Southeast Polk tonight (Tuesday).

Coming into Monday’s Hawkeye 10 matchup against Shenandoah, the Panthers had lost five of six and four straight in league play.

Finally, the Panthers broke through.

Jaden Driskell’s single to deep left-center field plated Brenden McDowell with the game’s only run in a 1-0 Panther win at Panther Field.

Driskell drilled a 2-1 fastball into the gap where neither Mustang outfielder in the area could corral it.

“I was sitting fastball,” Driskell said. “He threw it

Panther girls soccer celebrates 2017 campaign

By KALEB CARTER

“Without me, you have no coach. Without you, I have no team,� Lauffer said. “Each of you are valued.�

CNA sports reporter kacarter@ crestonnews.com

The Creston girls soccer team hosted its season end soccer banquet Sunday evening.

Coach Kim Lauffer hosted the evening for the squad, which went 4-12 this season and won two Hawkeye 10 games.

The team hosted players and family for deserts and a ceremony honoring the team’s season.

Lauffer spoke about the more cohesive nature of this season’s team. “This season was one where it felt as if we had probably the best group of girls that have worked together in quite a while,�

Lauffer said.

Seniors Katie Powers, Jeanette Blasi, Logan Pettit, Leah Schuler, Monica Guzman, Lexie Little and junior Japanese exchange student Ichika Asato were presented with gifts by the coaching staff thanking them for their time with the team, which included water bottles with their names on them.

It was a record-breaking season for sophomore Grace Root, whose 14 goals broke Jovanna Hernandez’s previous record of 11.

Root’s 20 goals in her career now leave her second in school history behind Her-

nandez. “If she sticks with it, she break that record in the next year and even set a higher record for girls coming up,�

Lauffer said. “For those of you who are freshman, have your eyes set on that goal.�

The 2017 season also represents the first time under

Lauffer’s direction, and only the second time since the inception of the girls soccer program in 2002, that the team is sending off players to compete collegiality in soccer.

Blasi has signed to play for Mount Mercy University in Cedar Rapids and Pettit

will play for Simpson College in Indianola.

Lauffer presented numerous individual awards and honors for a number of characteristics, some of them named by the fellow players, some named by the coaches.

She encouraged the play-

ers to stay active throughout the offseason, making note of several skills camps that the girls could attend this summer to prove on an individual level.

Lauffer’s overriding attitude during the banquet was gratitude.

Creston baseball coach Steve Birchard, second from right, talks to his team after Monday’s 1-0 win over Shenandoah in Hawkeye 10 Conference play.

for the tag and the out to keep the game deadlocked at 0-0. “Michael’s got the best arm in the outfield,�

Birchard said. “Beau did a nice job corralling the ball, putting the tag down. It was very nice to see.�

Creston had a number of opportunities to push the first run across earlier in the game.

The Panthers loaded the bases with one out in the second. A lineout off the bat of McDowell was caught by at third by Cole Nebel. Nebel hustled back to tag off Beau Barncastle to end the third.

Cody Crawford reached on a dribbler up the third base line to start the third then reached third when the throw sailed into right field.

Driskell flew out to deep left center. Crawford tagged and scored without a throw.

But Shenandoah appealed, claiming Crawford took off too early. The umpire agreed with the Mustangs and Crawford was called out, much to the chagrin of the home faithful.

The Panthers had a golden opportunity in the sixth, loading the bases with one out. A missed attempt at a suicide squeeze bunt left Kadon Hulett too far down

the line, and he was thrown out. The Panther threat stalled. “We didn’t execute very well in some spots,� Birchard said. “We need to start getting those things done.�

Birchard believes the team can execute better going forward. “They’ll mature and learn from it,� Birchard said.

Creston had one last rally in it, this time it ended the game.

Shenandoah had a couple of runners on in the first, but Hulett worked out of a jam with a pop out to Driskell to end the threat.

The Mustangs had a threat in the second. Hunter Rice took second on an error to start the inning and moved to third on a groundout with two outs. Hulett induced a Matt Stenzel groundout to end the inning.

said Creston coach Steve Birchard. “He’s been missing those kind of pitches.

He hit the ball well on the sacrifice fly, but didn’t quite get that. He hit it well both times. That was good to see.�

McDowell singled, and later stole second.

He was nearly picked off, but then made it to second safely. “It was huge,� McDowell said.

McDowell scored standing up, sending his teammates racing out of the dugout with plenty of smiles and yells. “I was running as fast as I could’ve,� McDowell said. “I just made sure I hit it. I had my head down and stomped on (the plate).�

The steal of second was the key. “I don’t think I could’ve scored,� McDowell said. “They have good outfielders. It would have been a close play at the plate.�

McDowell’s steal made Driskell’s job easier. “That’s the small stuff people won’t talk about,�

Driskell said. “Without him stealing second, it makes it a lot less stressful on him.�

Monday was the first time the Panthers have won a 1-0 game in many years, as far back as 2006-07 on quikstats.

Creston won for the first time in five Hawkeye 10 contests. “This was a big one,� Driskell said. “It was definitely good to get a win going into the thick of tough Hawkeye 10 play.�

Driskell was a vacuum cleaner at third, making a number of putouts. “I’ve never had that many balls in my life at third base,�

Driskell said. “They kept rolling it over. I don’t usually get that many balls.�

The Panthers escaped a scary situation in the top of the seventh. Ryan Ruzek walked and took second on a groundout.

Devon Perkins singled to center, but Michael Scherer’s throw to Beau Barncastle was on target and on time

Hulett and McDowell pitched effectively in their outings. Hulett, in his second outing of the season after dealing with a shoulder issue, was solid in his three innings of work. McDowell was sharp in four innings.

Based on warmup tosses before the fourth, McDowell was not sure how effective he would be. “I was throwing the ball all over the place,� McDowell said. “Luke Latham was my

partner and he probably ran a mile. I don’t know what happened.

McDowell threw 44 pitches in recording the win. “That’s where we wanted him to be,� Birchard said. “It was good as we look to build his stamina up, get him more on the mound.�

UP NEXT — Creston (35, 1-4) is on the road tonight (Tuesday) at Southeast Polk in non-conference play.

The game matches South-

east Polk head coach Scott Belger and assistant coach Dave Hartman against their hometown squad. “It’s always fun to play coach Belger and coach Hartman with the Creston connection,� Birchard said.

Southeast Polk won state titles in 2014 and again in 2015. “They’re doing something right,� Birchard said. “Hopefully we can carry some momentum.�

2017 Adams County Speedway

G N I C RA Update

Racing returns to ACS

By Trevor Maeder Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING – Mother nature finally cooperated on Saturday allowing for racing to take place at the Adams County Speedway for the first time since May 13.

The Chat Mobility Hobby Stocks returned racing for the first time in almost a month, while the Stalker Chevrolet B-Modifieds took the night off.

The warm weather provided plenty of excitement for the fans and drivers as 87 cars hit the halfmile in five classes for Southwestern Community College Night.

Many youngsters were in attendance, as well, in anticipation of the annual kids candy drop presented by the Fererra.

Sharp and Schafroth put on a show

Hardly anybody will debate that the Northland Oil Stock Cars put on the best show of the night.

The feature began with a season-high 21 cars hitting the dirt.

Derrick Dredge and Curtis Gaunt led the field to green, but Creston native Kevin Sharp wasted no time getting his No. 2 machine up to the front, taking the lead on lap one.

Three cautions in the first three laps slowed the race early. While Sharp led, rookie Buck Scha-

froth battled with veterans Tony Hardisty and Joe Zadina for second place. Schafroth eventually cleared the competition and set his sights on Sharp. The two put on an entertaining battle for the fans and made it interesting when a caution came out with just a few laps to go, setting up a shootout between the two.

Sharp hit his marks on the restart, but Schafroth stormed back and was door to door with Sharp when they came to the white flag.

Sharp hit his marks on the final lap and barely edged Schafroth to pick up his first win of the season. Schafroth picked up his third straight top-three finish and assumed the points lead after struggles by leader Tony Hardisty relegated him to a ninth-place finish. Brad Derry finished third followed by Chris Pruitt in fourth and Jesse Lund in fifth.

Leighton Jr. dominates for first win

Bill Leighton Jr. has been consistent in both the Gail’s Gold Rush Series and the O’Reilly Auto Parts Late Models weekly series at the Adams County Speedway, but Leighton had failed to get that first win at ACS prior to Saturday.

Leighton started the race in the third position and battled with youngster Daulton Maasen early in the race before eventually clear-

ing him to take the lead. Leighton put a huge lead on the field and appeared destined to hold off a late surge by Jason O’Brien, but a late race caution shook things up.

Leighton never missed a step, however, and pulled away for his first win of the season at Corning and his first one since 2005. Jason O’Brien finished in second followed by Daulton Maasen in third. Corey Zeitner came home in fourth and Josh Krug finished fifth in his first race at ACS this year.

Baker goes from 15th to win

Joe Baker picked up four wins last year in the Tri-State Ford Compacts, but had yet to make a start at ACS prior to Saturday night. He made his first appearance at the track this year, and first appearance in victory lane, rallying from his 15th place starting position to win.

Bobby Key led the early stages of the race before he succumbed to a battle between Evan Hrabik, Joe Baker and Dustin Thompson.

Baker held the lead when the dust cleared and had to survive a laterace restart after an accident by Thompson and Key brought out the caution. Baker pulled away on the restart, cruising to victory.

Evan Hrabik came home in second, followed by Buddy Haidsiak in third, Tanner Dixon finished in fourth and points leader Dustin

Thompson rallied from a late-race accident to finish fifth.

Ramsey redeems himself for second win

Luke Ramsey ended up on his lid the last time the Chat Mobility Hobby Stocks were in action. He found himself in victory lane Saturday night.

The defending champion started off his impressive night by winning his heat race in exciting fashion. Ramsey started the feature in the fifth position. He wasted very little time getting around Chris Bates for the lead. Ramsey had to hold off a hard charge from “Wide Open” Dave Weeda, but Weeda couldn’t find the preferred line to get around Ramsey, allowing him to pick up his second win of the season, and regaining the points lead. Weeda finished in second. Bates came home with a career-best third-place finish, Tyson Overton finished fourth in his first appearance to ACS. Jerid Lund rounded out the top five.

James makes it two in a row

The Poet Bio-Refining Modifieds put on quite a show in their feature Saturday night. Three cars battled fiercely, not to mention a slide-job or two, but it was Stanton native Jeff James who emerged victorious when the smoke cleared on Saturday night for his second straight win.

The win also allowed James to take over the points lead from teammate Todd Van Eaton.

Jeff Wiggins led the early part of the race with his new open motor, but it wouldn’t be enough to hold off James who managed to get around him. James then had to hold off a hard charge from Jesse Dennis and Nick Roberts.

All three drivers raced each other closely and fiercely, but neither Roberts nor Dennis could find a line to get around James with. They did manage to put on an entertaining battle for second, however, as Roberts slid in front of Dennis on the white flag lap to hold him off for second. Van Eaton and Wiggins finished fourth and fifth, respectively. Red Oak native Josh Sink ran his b-modified with the big boys and managed to come home with an impressive seventh-place finish.

This week

This week at Adams County Speedway might be the biggest week in years, with the first annual Malvern Bank Duals featuring the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) and Super Late Model Racing Series (SLMR).

Weekly support classes will have an increased purse, but hobby stocks are off. Hot laps begin at 6:30 p.m. with racing to follow.

Interstate 35 baseball and softball sweeps Southwest Valley

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

CORNING — Southwest Valley’s baseball team struggled to throw strikes and Interstate 35 ran up a score of 20-2 in five innings in Friday’s Pride of Iowa contest in Corning.

Jace Petersen doubled to score Tyler Pearson in the second to make the score 10-1, but the Timberwolves did not manage much offense otherwise.

Darian Brown picked up the win for the Roadrunners. Evan Davis took the loss for the Timberwolves in his first varsity action on the mound.

“Hasn’t pitched any varsity. I think tonight is an example of what you’re going to see within a late week game with the new pitch count,” Southwest Valley coach Kenny Namanny said.

“We’re struggling to hit the ball. We’re not scoring a lot of runs,” Namanny said. “Not only are we riding pitchers because we don’t want to use that many guys, but at the plate we’re having quick innings so they’re not getting a ton of rest in the dugout either.

UP NEXT — Southwest Valley (0-6, 0-3) travels to Greenfield for a game with Nodaway Valley (1-4, 1-1) today (Tuesday) at 8 p.m.

Further stats from this game were unavailable as of press time.

Roadrunners add on late CORNING — Carlyn Stanley pitched five no-hit innings and Interstate 35’s softball team played long ball twice in the Roadrunners’ 12-0 six-inning victory at Southwest Valley in Pride of Iowa conference action Friday.

Josie Wickett hit a tworun home run in the second inning and Riley Morris capped a six-run sixth inning with a home run to post the final margin.

Wickett whacked three doubles, scored three runs and drove in three in the

SOFTBALL: CONT. FROM | 6A

Adkins pitched a complete game and pounded the zone.

She only struck out one Panther, but retired 11 consecutive Panthers at one point and did not allow a run until the fifth.

McCabe gave credit to Adkins for her consistency and pitch location.

“I thought we were swinging at a lot of balls tonight and not getting the good part of the bat to the ball,” McCabe said. It’s one thing to be aggressive but you’ve got to be aggressive to the zone.”

Through the first four innings of the game, the Panthers were consistently out on their front foots, hitting the ball softball softly and popping it up.

“We’ve got to be better at the plate,” McCabe said.

“I don’t think our discipline was good at all. We’ve talked and talked about being ready early in the count when pitchers are trying to get ahead.”

The Fillies added to their lead thanks in part to several Panther miscues in the fourth inning.

Shenandoah only had two hits in the fourth, but two errors aided them in scoring three runs that inning. The Panthers made five errors in all.

“That’s on us to execute,” McCabe said. “Those are exactly the things we worked on this morning in practice.

Exactly. If you’re not going to execute them it’s going to end up costing you.”

Foglesong did work the Panthers out of several jams

game.

Carlyn Stanley, Lily Miller and Slye Richardson each rapped three hits, while Stanley and Richardson also had three doubles each.

Interstate 35 had 10 doubles and 12 extra base hits in all.

“Josie had a lot of good swings. Riley kind of struggled the first two time,” Interstate 35 coach Tim Bogs said. Bogs was pleased to see Morris come through at the end.

Southwest Valley starter Kiara Roberts hung tough with the Roadrunners, allowing just six runs over the first five innings, but took the loss.

Carlyn Stanley pitched five no-hit innings before being relieved for the sixth inning by sister Kate, who proceeded to give up one hit, to Lexie Haer, before sealing the deal. Carlyn experiened hip soreness. That was the reason she was pulled for Kate.

“She (Carlyn) strikes a lot of kids out. She’s throwing a lot of pitches. Her hips take a pounding from throwing so many pitches,” Bogs said.

An improved offense could go a long way for the Timberwolves.

“They’re getting there.

They’re just making contact too late in ballgames to get us in the game,” Southwest

late in the game and struck out eight batters while walking three.

She also consistently hit the ball harder than any of her Panther teammates Monday.

Foglesong hit two singles, while her courtesy runner Kiersten Latham scored Creston’s first run in the fifth when Sara Keeler hit an RBI-groundout. Foglesong drove in Saige Rice in the sixth as well.

Creston’s last run came when Chloe Hagle bashed a double to the fence in left center that scored Peyton Rice, the courtesy runner for Mattie Wheeler.

With Hagle on second, Saige Rice lined out to first to end the game.

Brielle Baker, Saige Rice and Mattie Wheeler also tallied singles.

While McCabe was critical of his team’s play, he was impressed with its resilience to pull close at the end.

“As poor as it (Creston’s performance) was, to have the tying run at the plate was probably pretty unbelievable,” McCabe said.

UP NEXT — Creston (4-7, 2-5) hosts Kuemper Catholic (5-4, 3-3) in a doubleheader at 5:30 p.m. Thursday.

coach Teri Keeler said.

“Need to work to get better at the things that we continue to work on in practice” The JV team is now 2-2.

JV The junior varsity team lost 9-3. The Panthers gave up give hits and made three errors.

Hits for Creston came from Sara Keeler, Kiersten Latham and Braelyn Baker.

Kylee LaMasters and Samantha Dunphy pitched for the Panthers. They combined for five strikeouts and one walk.

“Gave them to many free passes and opportunities,”

Valley coach Tara Miller said.

Southwest Valley won its Southwest Valley Invitational tournament with wins of 13-0 over East Mills and 9-4 over Griswold Saturday.

“The morale is different.

Everything is different. The girls are playing better defensively. It’s almost a 180 as far as I can tell,” Miller said.

“I think once we get the bats going some more, we’ll be doing pretty good.”

to upgrade the system for years.

But the proposal quickly drew bipartisan opposition, and there were few signs it would get far on Capitol Hill.

“All but our largest airports nationwide stand to be hurt by this proposal,” said Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kansas.

Next up will be a series of events throughout the week, including some with the nation’s mayors and governors, that will allow Trump to highlight his effort to muster public and private funding to overhaul the highway, waterway, electrical and airway systems on which the nation depends.

The president plans to travel to Ohio on Wednesday to address ways of improving levees, dams and locks along inland waterways that are crucial to agricultural exports.

The details of the plans must still be fleshed out. According to Trump’s budget proposal, the funding would come from $200 billion in tax breaks over nine years that would then — in theory — leverage $1 trillion worth of construction.

But although the goal of upgrading crucial infrastructure has broad support, Democrats do not like Trump’s plan for paying for it, arguing that his approach would result

in taxpayer-funded corporate profits at the expense of investments in rural areas where money-making opportunities are scarce.

“A private-sector-driven infrastructure plan means tolls, tolls, tolls — paid by average, working Americans,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.

“It also means that infrastructure that can’t be built with tolls, like repairing our crumbling schools, for instance, will likely get left behind.”

Schumer struck a far different tone in the days immediately after Trump’s election, when he told The Associated Press that infrastructure investment was an area where Trump appeared more aligned with Democrats than with Republicans. Indeed, Schumer said that he’d spoken with Trump, offering his own support for a large infrastructure package but warning that conservative Republicans were

unlikely to go along.

Conservative opposition remains a potential roadblock to Trump’s infrastructure plans. Nonetheless, the White House appears to be making little effort to round up bipartisan support on the issue.

Trump is holding a series of meetings Tuesday with members of Congress, but they’re all Republicans. And Schumer’s spokesman, Matt House, said the White House never responded after Democrats presented their own infrastructure blueprint in January

and shared it with the administration.

Instead of involving the private sector, Democrats’ preferred method is to simply add $1 trillion to the deficit to pay for a range of infrastructure projects they claimed would create 15 million jobs over 10 years.

Still, the White House legislative affairs director, Marc Short, told reporters in a briefing Monday night that the goal remained to get Democratic support for the infrastructure package.
