Paula White has been at the Union County Courthouse for more than 30 years, and she is retiring from her elected position as Union County recorder Friday.

White, born and raised in Creston, is the daughter of Bob and Helen Clem.

While attending Creston High School, she worked at Union County Abstract.

When Union County Abstract and Fidelity Abstract merged, she continued her work, filing and completing

After graduating from CHS in 1975, White left for Des Moines for a short time. She then returned to Union County and began working as deputy recorder under Jean Richardson, the recorder at the time.

White was there from 1976 to 1980, a year after her son, Kyle Bowers, was born. She decided to stay home until 1985, when she went back to the recorder’s office under Richardson part time, and eventually full time again.

During her time with Richardson, Union County Courthouse also became

the home of Union County Law Enforcement Center, where the communications center, Creston Police Department and Union County Sheriff are located. The old office windows were also removed, allowing customers to stand in the hallway for services.

In 1994, Richardson retired.

“When Jean retired, because of the way the office was with Jean and I, I was either going to train someone or run,” White said.

White ran for Richardson’s old office and, in 1995, was sworn into office.

“It was just a way to help

people with the really fundamental service, which is owning property. And, I tried helping government be a positive experience for them,” White said. “It was just a really good job. I’ve always liked legal work, so it was just a good fit.”

As recorder, White helped Union County residents, as well as those outside the county, with services like real estate transfers, deeds and mortgages, marriage licenses, birth and death certificates and Department of Natural Resources licenses for WHITE | 2A

Has the summer heat caught you off-guard?

The National Weather Service (NWS) and Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management have designated today as Iowa Heat Awareness Day. And just in time, as Creston saw highs of 86 and 88 Saturday and Sunday, and expects temperatures to rise to the low 90s this weekend.

According to State Climatologist Harry Hillaker of the Iowa Department of Agriculture, however, high temperatures aren’t the only danger.

“Sometimes — and we’ve seen this quite a bit in recent summers — we’ve had fairly wet weather, and our tempera- Hillaker tures haven’t on the face of things looked all that extreme. But the dew point temperature — which is how cool you have to get the air to get dew to form — sometimes those can be up to around 80 degrees in the very worst circumstances. And when you have that much humidity, even a temperature not much above

normal can create what feels like, to our body, temperature more like 105, 110 degrees, which is obviously not an everyday occurrence in Iowa,” Hillaker said.

Hillaker went on to explain there’s a misconception of the percieved hottest part of the day. Though the sun’s heat is most intense when it’s highest in the sky — around 1:30 p.m. in Iowa — the temperature will likely continue to increase throughout the afternoon.

“Typically,” Hillaker explained, “the highest actual temperature would be around 3 to 5 p.m. in the late afternoon. And, even though the sun is getting somewhat low in the sky by then, it’s still putting out more energy than the earth’s atmosphere is able to dissipate, so the temperature keeps on rising.”

Even so, for many there’s no choice in the matter.

If you must be outside and active in the heat of the day, Hillaker recommends a wide-brimmed hat that reaches all around the head.

“Your head,” he explained, “is one of the more difficult parts of your body to keep cool. Your body tries to keep blood flow to the brain at all costs, and therefore keeping that part of the body cooler is going to help you out in other ways HEAT | 2A

Fired FBI Director Comey faces Senate and rebuts Trump He also said he was “confused and increasingly concerned” by Trump’s shifting explanations for firing him, including Trump’s remark that he had had Russia on his mind in dismissing Comey four years into a 10-year term.

“He had repeatedly told me I was doing a great job and he hoped I would stay,” Comey said. “So it confused me when I saw on television the president told me that he actually fired me because of the Russia investigation.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Testifying under oath in a Senate hearing watched worldwide, former FBI Director James Comey accused the Trump administration Thursday of defaming him and the FBI in the aftermath of his abrupt firing by President Donald Trump.

“Those were lies, plain and simple,” Comey said of the administration’s claims that the FBI was poorly led and in disarray under his leadership, and that agents had lost confidence in him.

“The administration chose to defame me and more importantly the FBI,” he said.

To protect the rest of your body from the sun’s heat, Hillaker recommends loose-fitting, light clothing that retains the body’s perspiration. “Think of the Middle-East,� he remarked. “A very hot climate where people wear long robes from head to toe. That sounds crazy, but actually that’s a very effective way of keeping your perspiration on your body, which is a great method of keeping your body cooler. It may not smell so good, but if you want to stay safe it’s actually better to keep that perspiration on

why he had decided he must document every meeting he had with Trump, with a written record. “I was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting, so I thought it really important to document,� Comey said. “I knew there might come a day when I might need a record of what happened not only to defend myself but to protect the FBI.�

Comey made his comments as the packed hearing got underway, bringing Washington and parts of the country to a halt as all eyes were glued on the hearing room. He immediately dove into the heart of the fraught political controversy around his firing as he elaborated on written testimony delivered Wednesday. In that testimony he had already disclosed that Trump demanded his “loyalty� and directly pushed him to “lift the cloud� of investigation by declaring publicly the president was not the target of the probe into his campaign’s Russia ties.

Comey also testified in his written testimony that Trump, in a strange private encounter near the grandfather clock in

While in Greenfield, Mary Ann was a member of St. John’s Catholic Church and later, transferred her membership to Holy Spirit Catholic Church. She was active on the Council of Catholic Women and a member of O.D.O. Neighborhood Club.

Mary Ann is survived by her sons, David R. Johnson of Creston, Harold D. (Pam) Johnson of St. Louis, Missouri, and Paul L. (Ann) Johnson of Creston; daughter-in-law Amy Patterson of Orient; grandsons, Matthew, Andy, Patrick, Clayton, Chad and Sam Johnson; granddaughters, Betsy Gale, Hanna Hayes and Emma Johnson; four great-grandchildren; sister-in-law Mabel Cook of Salem, Oregon, and numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives.

Mary Ann was preceded in death by her parents; husband in 1997; son Russell Johnson; brothers, Jack, Burt, Earl and Vern Maeder; sisters, Alice Lents, Bertha Kembery and Ilene Maeder and infant grandson Seth Johnson. you rather than leaving your skin exposed, where it’s going to dry out more quickly.�

Hillaker concluded by citing the importance of staying hyrdrated. “Plain old water is probably the best thing you could be taking to stay hydrated,�

Hillaker said. “And don’t wait until you’re already dying of thirst — if you’ve waited that long, you’ve probably waited too long.�

Additionally, the NWS stresses the importance of taking breaks often to cool down, wearing light-colored clothing to reflect sunlight, eating easy-to-digest foods such as fruits or salads and checking on neighbors during periods of extremely hot and humid weather. the Oval Office, pushed him to end his investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Trump was expected to dispute Comey’s claims that he demanded loyalty and asked the FBI director to drop an investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, according to a person close to the president’s legal team who demanded anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss legal strategy. The Republican National Committee worked aggressively to discredit Comey ahead of the hearing and as it unfolded.

Comey listened, hands clasped on his lap, as committee Chairman Richard Burr of North Carolina delivered his opening statement. “Today,� Burr told Comey, “is your opportunity to set the record straight.�

Burr is leading the committee’s investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election and ties with Trump’s own campaign team. “We will establish the facts separate from rampant speculation and lay them out for the American people to make their own judgement,� Burr said. “Only then will we be able to move forward and put this issue to rest.�

Today is June 8, the 159th day of the year. So, there are 206 days left in 2017.

Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (June 5-11) in history:

10 years ago Linda Klug of Creston was chosen as honorary chairwoman for Relay for Life. “I’m not sure why they picked me,� said Klug. “I’m really kind of a private person.� The committee chose her based on the following criteria: cancer survivor, positive attitude, example to others and participation in Relay events. The previous year when she was fighting her cancer, she had the most luminaries of any individual, said Amy Snodgrass, co-chair for Relay for life.

Retiring from Creston Community Schools were Myrna Beving; Connie Edsall, food service director; Ray Courtney; Jody Emerson, business and technology ed; Colleen Gangestad, special ed; Lois Rose, high school English; Ruth Schroeder, Title 1 reading; and Marge Scott, kindergarten.

20 years ago Union County Board of Supervisors was looking at layoffs in the sheriff’s department. Sheriff John Coulter planned to announce five jail employees, three deputies and a civil clerk were to be laid off through June 29 for budgetary reasons. Affected employees were Gayle Wiseman, Kelly Hanson, Wilma Osmun, Kent Adamson, Amy Bird, Rick McDonald, Chad Woods, Chad Briley and Trish Krauth.

However, prior to the staff

hunting and fishing. “It’s always your responsibility, and, no matter what goes on, it’s your responsibility,� White said. “I think the rapport I had with customers (was the best part), being able to visit with them and help White them and answer their questions, having a little fun along the way. Basically, the customers, the people of Union County, were always really support-

meeting, Coulter met with Union County Auditor Don Krings and it was determined two of the pay periods were actually funded from the new fiscal year that began July 1, so the shortfall was not as extensive as previously thought.

So, instead the department imposed “rolling layoffs� for one week.

As a bookstore owner, Jim Stalker, 52, of Creston spent his working days in the midst of great writers, not a single one his until he wrote his first book of poems, “Reaching Within.� The book was his debut as a published poet and there were second and third books in the works.

Creston firefighters assisted in extinguishing a blaze at the former Macksburg High School as part of a mutual aid response to Orient’s fire department along with help from Af-

ton, Greenfield, Winterset, St. Marys, Dexter, St. Charles, Earlham, Lorimor and Redfield. The fire apparently started after the Macksburg Betterment Committee cleared the area of brush around the school and burnt it on the north side of the building.

Although the fire was extinguished, hot embers later triggered the fire inside the building. The structure was owned by Clark Mountain of Macksburg.

Dudley Tadlock of Kansas City, Kansas, was trying to find a wig for his Shetland pony. Vandals had entered his barn in Wyandotte County and cut off the pony’s tail. Without the tail, Tadlock couldn’t enter the pony in horse shows.

The grand opening of Semonzio’s Pizza Hut was set for June 9 in the former Iowana Hotel coffee shop.

The Pizza Hut was operated by Gerald Kalor of Mason City and managed by Mr. and Mrs. Bill Symonds and Don Weiling. It would feature taste-tempting Italian-style pizza and Henny Penny fried chicken, along with spaghetti and assorted sandwiches.

Southwestern Community College made arrangements for the first college commencement with 64 graduates. The program was to be held at the band shell at McKinley Park unless rain forced it inside to the college auditorium at Elm and Mills streets. Six students graduated with academic honors in the top 10 percent of the class. They were Dennis Kingery of Creston who ranked first, Kathy Sychra of Prescott, Mike Walters of Corning, Mike Black of Orient, Alan Austin of Afton and Clark BreDahl of Greenfield.

In 2001, White suffered a bout of breast cancer. She lost her hair, but used a wig she dubbed Gladys until her hair grew back dark and curly. Two years later, two walls in the office were torn down and all the books were moved to the hallway. The remodel took several weeks, but the office was never closed.

White continued to uphold her office through her son’s death in 2010, followed by her husband, Randy, in 2016. And now, in her 22nd year as recorder, White has decided to begin her retirement. “I planned it with Randy, so it’s quite an adjustment,�

White said, “but, you have to look forward so I’m going

to try really hard.�

White plans to move to Urbandale, where she will live near her daughter’s family, Stacy and Ryan Henryson and their daughter, 18-month-old Halle.

Her stepson, Jesse White, and his family, wife, Val, and children 10-year-old Christian and 7-year-old Kailyn, currently live in Union County.

Deputy Recorder Katie Carlton will be sworn in as Union County recorder Monday during the regular Board of Supervisors meeting. Carlton has been deputy recorder for about five years, and accepted the recommendation from White. “Basically, she’s the only one that knows how to do it. She’s worked for me for over five years now and

she’s called the deputy recorder because when I’m not there, she’s in charge,�

White said. “She’s very smart, she’s knowledgeable.

She’s good with the public and she knows the office.�

Moving from indexing by hand, to using a typewriter, to a computer where digital is the only way to go for some services, White has seen and done so much in her appointed office. “I feel really good about it, because I feel like I’m leaving it in really good hands, and in a good place,�

White said. “We’ve been preparing and getting things ready. The office is in good shape, and I know Katie will take good care of it. So, I feel really positive about it.

She’ll do a good job for the people in Union County.�

Iowa woman sentenced for dunking baby’s arm in hot coffee COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — An Iowa mother who admitted to police that she shoved her 1-year-old son’s arm into hot coffee to “teach him a lesson� has been sentenced to five years in prison.

The Daily Nonpareil reports that 36-year-old Rebecca Brahier pleaded guilty Tuesday to child endangerment resulting in injury. She received credit for time served in jail since her November arrest.

Doctors say the boy suffered blistering and that his skin was sloughing off on his left hand and arm. Hospital medical staff called the police.

Police say Brahier told officers the baby kept reaching for her hot coffee cup, so she intentionally submerged the baby’s arm in the coffee so he could learn that it is hot.

Her attorney, Peter Tenny, says “the child’s wounds are healing well.�

portunity that many of these families wouldn’t have. For a lot of families, it wouldn’t even be an option to consider Catholic education without it.”

Since its beginning in 2006, CTO has distributed nearly $20 million in tuition assistance to families and more than $350,000 to St. Malachy’s.

CTO began through the Educational Opportunities Act, a law passed in 2006. The law created the School Tuition Tax Credit Program, which offers a 65-percent tax credit to Iowa residents who contribute to a qualify-

ing organization. In turn, school tuition organizations (STO) will distribute at least 90 percent of revenue to low and lower-middle income families for private school tuition. CTO is one of 11 STO that raise money for tuition assistance to private schools in the state of Iowa. STO programs provided assistance to more than 10,000 families each year and have distributed more than $98 million in the last 10 years.

For more information, visit CTO’s website at www.ctoiowa.org or call 515-237-5010.

Ambassadors serve actively on one of seven committees, each tasked with specific duties related to the purposes of recruitment and engagement within the college.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, June 8, 2017

Get ready for a little summer heat this weekend Today is Heat Awareness Day, which may be just in time for some hot weather moving in this weekend.

It looks like we may be in for a few days of 90 degrees or more.

The advisory tells you to do the usual things like drink plenty of water, take frequent breaks and wear light clothing. We’ve been pretty fortunate and have had plenty of rain so far this year.

Most of the lakes and ponds are full going into the summer season. It looks like this could be a summer where we see some of those 100-degree days. But you just never know!

Gas The new Agriland FS Inc. gas station on Highway 34 in town has made some difference on the gas prices already.

The first day they went into business, the price of the other

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

stations in town went down 2 cents to meet their price. About a week later, the Casey’s stations moved the price up 12 cents a gallon only to bring it back down the next day since the new station on the Highway didn’t move theirs up. Plus, on my ventures around the area this week, it has to be one of the few times I’ve seen Creston lower than Stuart and Red Oak pricing in a long time.

Sometimes change and competition is good. I see the new station is selling gas for 10 cents below listed price this Saturday for their grand opening. Then it

will be 7 cents off for the rest of the month.

Fireworks I’m glad to see the state of Iowa is now allowing fireworks.

It’s kind of disappointing you can’t shoot them off in a lot of cities. Hopefully by next year that will change.

It’s kind of hypocritical that the cities will get the sales tax money from the sales but want you to go shoot them somewhere else. A lot of clubs and organizations make a fair amount of money selling the items. I’m sure the folks in Missouri will miss out on some good revenue from all the Iowans that formerly made the trip to get some fireworks.

Army I read a story this week that the Army is offering about $380 million in bonuses for people

who sign up for the Army. They can also get a bonus for signing on for four more years. The new president is looking at beefing up the defense and in this tight employment environment, it is tough to find people. Currently more than 70 percent of men can not qualify for the Army due to many different circumstances.

6 million That is how many jobs are currently open across the United States this month. It used to be that a lot of kids had summer jobs. But, there are fewer and fewer kids taking summer jobs.

I don’t know how the country will continue to grow unless we can find a few million good workers. A lot of the unemployed don’t have the skills to get work. We need more training across the board if we hope to make any headway in getting

some people back to work.

Music I had a chance to take in the Tom Petty and Joe Walsh concert in Des Moines Monday night.

Both of the “fossil rockers” have been around for a long time. But the crowd of 15,000 seemed to know the words to just about every song they sang.

I don’t know if I’ve ever been to a concert where people were singing the whole way through!

Which brings us to the Party in the Park coming up on Saturday, June 24, in McKinley Park. Tickets are on sale here at the newspaper office. There will be three wonderful tribute bands playing everything from Journey to Bad Company.

Thought for the week: “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” – Carl Jung

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

James Comey’s Senate testimony today about Russian election interference will draw running Twitter commentary from millions of TV viewers including the president. And there is no censor or filter. If the newspaper is the evolution of the town crier, Twitter is the evolution of the town drunk.

Jim Comey today has the chance to testify against President Trump, who fired him, Trump so far has fired the FBI Director, acting Attorney General, National Security Advisor, 46U.S. Attorneys and a White House usher. Look, we either elected the host of “The Apprentice,” or we didn’t.

Investors Daily laid out a retirement plan for young adults that requires disciplined saving and blue-chip investments that’d leave them wealthy at age 65. You also learn to cut corners here and there. Last year, I saved 15 percent on car insurance by leaving the scene of the accident.

Bill Cosby’s legal battles include defamation of character lawsuits he filed against seven of his 51 accusers a year and a half ago. He wants the world to know that 14 percent of his female accusers are lying. Using climate change math, that would mean that all of them are lying.

Ireland made world news by electing Leo Varadkar prime minister, who is a gay man of Indian origin on his father’s side.

No filter Topical humor Argus Hamilton

He’s a conservative who’s set on increasing employment. The London Times reported that a lot of Irish jobs have been outsourced to Pakistan, but enough about Sinn Fein.

The London Bridge attack was followed by a lone wolf attack in Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral Tuesday. Terrorists used to fly airliners into the tallest buildings in the world, now they’re down to used vans and hammers. The damned Republicans have obviously cut the terrorism budget as well.

French police shot and killed a terrorist wielding a hammer and shouting out for revenge for Syria Tuesday as he tried to enter the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

The terrorist was shot dead on the front steps of the cathedral. Police said they don’t know who the man is, but they have a hunch.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer was derided by reporters Tuesday because he’d been insisting Trump’s travel ban wasn’t a travel ban. Trump tweeted it’s a travel ban. Reporters are obsessive about any travel ban issued by a Republican until Obama is back in the country from Tahiti.

ABC News said Attorney General Jeff Sessions offered to resign in a meeting with Trump. He had

a very long spring. It’s hard for the Attorney General to preach national unity when New Orleans just took down four statues of Confederate heroes and Sessions was named after two of them.

Capitol Hill Republicans are reportedly plotting how to curtail the NSA’s domestic surveillance powers to stop partisan NSA workers from leaking overheard dirt to the press. That’s not all. In addition, Germany wants to sue the NSA for using Gestapo tactics without paying them any royalties.

The FBI arrested a private company contractor for leaking NSA top-secret information to the press about Russia’s attempt to hack into the U.S. election last fall. The contractor is a 25-yearold woman named Reality Winner. If she gets arrested again, she’ll be Two-Time Loser Winner.

The Hollywood Reporter reported 91-year-old Jerry Lewis was in a Las Vegas hospital for a urinary tract infection. We comedians can’t wait to see his material on this one. Jerry would be the first to say that a Viagra pill costs a thousand dollars, 40 for the pill, 96 for the UTI. Southern California beach lifeguards this spring reported seeing an unusual amount of Great White Sharks in the ocean due to the La Nina condition. It didn’t hurt beach attendance. There are much scarier things you can see in the ocean besides a shark’s fin – for instance, a shark’s tonsils.

HOROSCOPE For Friday, June 9, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)Be careful, because this is an accident-prone day due to the Full Moon energy. This means you have to pay attention to everything you say and do.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Certain financial issues might come to a head today because of the Full Moon. You might find yourself at odds with someone. (Generally, this will subside in 48 hours.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the only Full Moon all year that is opposite your sign is taking place. This is why you might feel tension when dealing with those who are closest to you.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today is troublesome because of the Full Moon energy. It quite likely will make a negative impact on your health and your dealings with co-workers and clients.

Patience is key.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Relationships with friends and groups might create problems with your kids or a romantic partner. In other words, on this Full Moon day, you can’t keep everyone happy. (Sigh.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) You will find it difficult to please home and family, as well as the demands of your career and your job today.

It’s as if you are caught in the middle. That’s because today is a Full Moon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be careful traveling, driving and talking to others today, because the Full Moon energy could trigger accidents and mistakes. Be extra mindful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Issues about shared property and inheritances might come to a head today because of the Full Moon. Actually, this is a poor day for these discussions. Wait a few days.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. Naturally, you will feel some tension when dealing with those who are closest to you. Be patient.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be patient with co-workers today, because people often are at loose ends and feel uptight during a Full Moon.

Go easy on everyone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)This could be an accident-prone day for your kids because of the Full Moon

today. Romance will be a little rocky as well. Go slowly.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Family arguments and difficulties with authority figures might arise because of today’s Full Moon. Pull in your energy and say as little as possible.

YOU BORN TODAY You are funny, articulate, charming and always busy and active.

Many of you will be a student or teacher this year, because

your capacity for research and understanding is at its best.

It’s time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. This will not tend to be a year of action, but rather a year of waiting and development.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: My twin grandchildren will be starting KINDERGARTEN in August. The school gave me some tasks to practice with the twins so they will be ready: * We practice writing letters and words outside using sidewalk chalk. * I make sure the kids can follow step-by-step directions. * When they are telling me about their day, I ask them what happened first, then next and then last. * I have the twins practice taking care of their books, art supplies, sweaters, etc. * They play with the neighborhood children. * I tell them that school is a place to have fun, learn and grow. But it’s not all playtime. They have to follow the rules and listen to the teacher. * If they have any fears about school, I listen to them and reassure them.

The twins are eager to start school! – Mary P., Joliet, Ill. Fabulous! Some other hints: Make sure the children can tie their shoes, write their names and pay attention for 15-20 minutes. I wish them

all the best in their school career. Developing a love of learning is critical to success!

Oh, and one more thing: read, read, read! Read to them; have them read to you.

– Heloise LET’S FACE IT Hello, Heloise: While spring-cleaning, I discovered I had way too many small bath towels, and I was getting low on face cloths. I decided to cut the towels and make face cloths.

I found I can get six cloths from one towel. I just whip the edges, and I’m done. No waste! – Sheila in Maine THE LAST BIT Dear Heloise: When you get to the bottom of the toothpaste tube, get a CLEAN pair of scissors and cut the top off the toothpaste tube.

You will find that there is a lot of toothpaste left in that area!

You can use a plastic picnic knife to scoop it out and put on your toothbrush, or you can dip a DRY toothbrush into it to put it on your brush.

– Margaret Ann H., via email THINK INSIDE THE BOX Dear Heloise: My linen

SUDOKU

cabinets were full and in disarray. My hint solved this.

I used attractive hat boxes for storing full sets of bedsheets – one hat box per set.

I stacked them on the floor of each bedroom. Handy and decorative! Now my linen closet is roomy enough for towels, blankets, etc. – Russell in Washington ONE AND DONE Dear Heloise: I like single-serving packaged fruits, but the nutrition information is not printed on the individual containers.

To help me keep track of my carbohydrates, I write the carb info on each individual container with a black pen.

That way, I have the info, even if the other packaging is discarded. – Y.N.K., via email 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.

In celebrating the Creston girls track and field season at the season-ending banquet in the Creston Middle School Commons Wednesday, coach Clay Arnold spoke of the exciting season and what could be down the line.

Arnold spoke in front of the team gathered to celebrate the season and spoke shortly about each individual and class as a whole.

All 19 members of the varsity roster earned a varsity letter this season.

Creston’s seven member

freshman class brought talent to the team and contributed from the very beginning of the season.

“A lot of hard workers, a lot of girls that scored a lot of points for us,” Arnold said. “ ... A lot of them ended up doing a lot of things they had never done before.”

The sophomore class boasted four members who all sprinted and contributed to numerous relays this season. The two team managers TRACK | 9A CNA photo by KALEB CARTER

PRO BASEBALL

Westphal assigned to Rockies’ team in Boise Former Lenox, SWCC star has new relief role n

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

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — For his entire career as a pitcher in high school and college, Ethan Westphal’s role was the same.

He was always the ace of the starting pitching staffs at Lenox and Martensdale-St. Marys high schools, as well as Southwestern Community College and the University of Central Missouri. He pitched in the regional finals for SWCC against NIACC as a sophomore, and in the spring of 2016 he pitched for Central Missouri in the NCAA Division II World Series.

Now, as a professional pitcher in the Colorado Rockies’ system, Westphal is learning to finish games rather than start them.

Today (Thursday), Westphal embarked on a 14hour drive from the Rockies spring training facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, to Boise, Idaho. His “short season” for the Boise Hawks of the Class A Northwest league begins in one week.

Westphal has been working in extended spring training with other Rockies

prospects s i n c e c a m p opened on March 3.

L a t e start S h o r t Westphal season leagues play a shortened schedule of 76 games, starting in mid-June and ending in early September, with only a few off-days during the season. The late start of

phone interview this week.

“Early in the day we break up into groups. The pitchers have fielding practice and the position players go over defensive situations. Then we get together for things like pickoffs, and the hitters take batting practice while the pitchers shag. Then we usually play a game against one of the other extended spring squads out here such as the Giants, Diamondbacks, A’s and Cubs.”

Westphal said the extend-

the season is designed to allow college players to complete their college seasons in the spring, then be drafted, signed, and immediately placed in a competitive league. Second-year pros assigned to those teams typically play in extended spring training until the short season begins.

“Basically it’s the same thing as spring training,” Westphal said in a tele-

ed spring rosters consist of players like himself who were undrafted or drafted last year, and either working back from an injury or waiting for a roster spot on one of the teams that start their seasons later in the summer.

“Sometimes a big leaguer will be down here getting an at-bat in every inning of our games to get ready faster for a return to the team,” Westphal said. “The Rockies

had Ian Desmond here for awhile.”

During this extended training period, Westphal has been groomed as a closer in the bullpen. He has embraced that role, after so many years as a No. 1 starter.

“As of the last month or so I’ve been closing games,” Westphal said. “I love that role, honestly. You’re in the thick of things, when the games really matter. The most I’ve thrown in one game is two innings. Usually I throw the eighth or ninth innings. Today I pitched the ninth inning and had two strikeouts.”

Westphal, who signed with the Rockies last July and worked as a reliever for the Class A Grand Junction Rockies of the Pioneer League, is anxious to arrive in Boise and get the 2017 season underway. He pitched 33 innings, mostly in relief, for Grand Junction when he signed after his collegiate season.

Scenic sites “This is what I’ve been working for all off-season,” Westphal said. “It will be nice to get into games where something is on the line, and you know you’re getting everybody’s best. Just to be a part of a team in a new setting will be cool. I’m told some of the places we play are in some awesome areas.

Our first series is in Spokane and we also play some games in Vancouver.”

Boise is in the Class A-Short Season Northwest League’s South Division.

The Hawks play their home games at Memorial Stadium in northwest Boise, north of the Western Idaho Fairgrounds on the banks of the Boise River. It has a seating capacity of 3,500. A new video board was installed prior to this season.

The club was formerly affiliated with the Chicago Cubs, and current Cubs Kris Bryant, Wilson Contreras, Albert Almora and Kyle Schwarber are former Boise Hawks players.

Teams in the Northwest League Southern Division along with the Hawks, and their major league affiliations, are Eugene Emeralds (Chicago Cubs), Hillsboro Hops (Arizona Diamondbacks) and Salem-Kelzer Volcanoes (San Francisco Giants). All of those teams are located in Oregon.

The Northern Division consists of the Everett AquaSox (Seattle Mariners), Spokane Indians (Texas Rangers), Tri-City Dust Devils (San Diego Padres) and Vancouver Canadians (Toronto Blue Jays).

All of those locations are in Washington or Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Lady Mustangs are in the midst of a gauntlet part of the schedule. Later this week, the Mustangs will face Bondurant-Farrar, county rival Clarke and Class 3A fifth-ranked Atlantic at the

John Harris Tournament in Creston.

Wednesday, the Lady Mustangs had one of their stiffest tests of the season so far at Class 2A top-ranked Interstate 35.

The Lady Mustangs had a rough night in the field and the hot bats of the Roadrunners were too much as Interstate 35 picked up a 14-4 six-inning win.

Interstate 35 scored five times in the sixth to end it.

Shai Major’s two-run single was the winning margin for the hometown faithful.

“That’s what we want.

We’ve got a tough schedule,” said Murray coach Danny Jensen. “We’ve got six games here where we find out a little bit about

what we’re going to do in the postseason.”

Last Saturday, Murray faced Class 1A fifth-ranked Martensdale-St. Marys in the final of the Murray Softball Tournament, along with close games against Nodaway Valley and Mount Ayr. “We’re a small school, but we schedule big,” Jensen said. “That will help us later.”

Jensen anticipated his team facing quality opponents this season. That has come true so far this season.

“I told the kids going in we may lose some games we didn’t last year,” Jensen said. “That will help us in July. We knew it would be a tough season.”

Jensen is seeing his younger players mature quickly.

“We’ve got around six sophomores that are coming around,” Jensen said.

Interstate 35 ace pitcher Carlyn Stanley came into Wednesday sixth in all classes with 108 strikeouts in 10 appearances this season.

Stanley’s arsenal was a challenge for the Lady Mustangs. And outside of the fifth inning, Murray could not do much against the future Indian Hills Community College softball player.

Stanley added 10 more strikeouts to her total.

She allowed four hits and walked one.

“Stanley’s legit,” Jensen said. “She’s the real deal.

She doesn’t give up much.”

Outside of a mental lapse in the fifth inning, Stanley was dialed in once again.

“We challenged her last night and (Wednesday) said Interstate 35 coach Tim Bogs. “I really liked how Carlyn pitched.”

Murray pitcher Kayla Wookey had Interstate 35’s number at times, but the Roadrunner bats were a bit too much. Wookey finished with 10 strikeouts in six-plus innings of work.

“Kayla pitched pretty well,” Jensen said.

He pulled Wookey in the sixth with her pitch count quite high.

The Roadrunner bats, which have been hot lately, kept their recent good fortunes going early Wednesday. Carlyn Stanley walked in the first inning. After a strikeout to Kate Stanley, Josie Wickett drew a walk.

Shai Major drove in a pair with a double and Slye Richardson followed with a run-scoring triple.

Interstate 35 kept the bats going in the third.

Wickett singled, then stole her way around the bases.

Major doubled. Riley Morris reached on a fielder’s choice. Cheyenne Hiatt dove in a pair with a single.

The way Interstate 35 hit the ball was something Murray does not always see.

“Some of those balls were hit pretty hard, a lot harder than they are in our league,” Jensen said.

Interstate 35 took advantage.

“They’re not used to people hitting the ball that hard,” Bogs said. We put pressure on them. When somebody’s not used to it, SB | 11A

were sophomores as well.

“A lot of transitioning there your freshman year.

Your sophomore year you know what’s expected of you already,” Arnold said.

What was expected was success, and each of the sophomores competed at a top flight level on relay units.

The six-member junior class was congratulated, but issued a challenge of sorts by Arnold.

“When you become a junior the clock starts ticking,” Arnold said. “Now that they’re seniors, there’s not a lot of time to make things happen to achieve what it is that you’re supposed to do. I thought our junior class did a good job all told, the other three as well, of putting up big points.”

The two-member senior class exemplified what the coaches want for the Panther program.

Rachel Shepherd and Hannah Hood have stuck it out through four years.

“These two seniors are left over from some of the best teams Creston has ever had,” Arnold said. “This right here is what greatness looks like.”

Shepherd improved every year, and was a workout warrior. She scored 494 points at meets throughout her career.

She ran every single running event during her fouryear career. Arnold called her “the most diverse runner” he has coached.

“Rachel, she wanted to do big things. She set her mind to it,” Arnold said. “She is when you’re thinking about what it is you want to do, you

think about Rachel and how she went about it. She went about it the right way.”

Hannah Hood pushed through more than her fair share of injuries and mental obstacles before coming out a state champion and twotime school record holder in her senior season.

Over her three-year career, Hood racked up 432 points at meets in just the shot put and discus. In her senior season, she won the shot put in 13 of the 15 meets she competed in.

“There’s one thing that she wanted to do and that’s win it all,” Arnold said “So in order to go ahead and make that happen, you have to be resilient. There were setbacks. There were lots of setbacks for her. You’ve got to push through those and she absolutely made that happen.”

One overriding message of the season had to do with what can be in the future.

NASCAR THIS WEEK

The Daytona Beach News-Journal’s Godwin Kelly & Ken Willis have covered NASCAR for nearly 60 years combined. godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com ken.willis@news-jrnl.com

DOVER

SPEED FREAKS A few questions we had to ask ourselves We know Jimmie doesn’t catch Richard; does he catch Pearson at 105 wins?

GODSPEAK: Jimmie will likely get another championship before catching Pearson in wins, but hey, that’s not too shabby.

KEN’S CALL: I’ll say it again — if he wants to. It’ll take more years than he probably cares to invest, however.

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

Is Danica’s countdown clock ticking?

It sure seems like it. When Danica Patrick voiced her concern over that latest hard wreck a few weeks ago, it sounded like another sign she’s ready to move on to the next chapter.

Now word of the obvious: Danica and Stewart-Haas Racing are evaluating their future plans. Or, perhaps, non-plans. Sunday’s 10thplace finish at Dover was a bit of good news, but she needs a lot of that to attract another GoDaddy or some similar corporate benefactor.

Jimmie tied Cale. Favorite Cale memory?

GODSPEAK: There’s the black-and-white film of his car going over the wall at Darlington, which helped build his legend.

KEN’S CALL: Any mental picture of Cale in a cowboy hat, especially if Junior Johnson is with him.

Gut feeling?

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED 1. Tying Cale

2. Once again

3. Larson says

Jimmie Johnson’s win at Dover was his series-leading third of the season and tied him for sixth on the all-time list with Cale Yarborough. Each driver has 83 wins. “To be here and tie him at 83 wins is amazing,” Johnson said. “I wasn’t sure how quickly we’d be, or if we’d be able to go there and get it done.”

For the fourth time this season, the driver leading with 10 laps to go in a Cup Series race did not see Victory Lane. Kyle Larson was on his way to a win until David Ragan hit the wall with two laps on the board.

Jimmie Johnson, who led seven laps, took the win on the final restart.

Before the race, Larson said he hasn’t had much luck on restarts at Dover, and his words were prophetic. “I just spun my tires pretty bad,” said Larson, who finished second after leading 241 laps. “I tried taking off, not using a lot of throttle, and still spun my tires pretty bad.”

My feeling is she returns to IndyCar, where she’s a better competitive fit.

But that runs counter to her apparent concern over violent crashes. Maybe she runs the two big 500s — Daytona and Indianapolis — and sells fitness gear and protein shakes the rest of the year. Not a bad gig.

She did it despite bringing out the seventh yellow flag of the day with a spin off Turn 4 on Lap 147. “We got a bit lucky with staying out at the right time and catching the yellow flags,” she said. “It’s the stuff that hasn’t been happening for us all year, and it’s just nice to catch some breaks.” Can she build on it?

Daniel Suarez, who raced in Mexico in 2014, continues to improve week by week as a NASCAR Cup Series rookie.

His sixth-place finish at Dover was his best to date. “I feel like we had a top-10 car, and we ended up right there,” he said. “I think the entire team is making progress and that’s for sure, and I’m very proud of that.” Will he ride that little bit of momentum into summer?

then they kick it around a little bit.”

Murray had five errors.

The Roadrunners tacked on two in the fourth. Wickett reached on a dropped third strike, then stole third. Richardson walked. An error on a ball hit by Hiatt brought two runs in.

Aggressive base running served Interstate 35 well.

“We ran the bases really well,” Bogs said. “That’s stuff we haven’t done.”

Interstate 35 finished the game early in the sixth. Hiatt and Lilly Miller reached on consecutive singles. Walks to Carlyn Stanley and Kate Stanley drew in a run. A Wickett single scored one run, while Major’s hit scored two to end the game.

Murray’s first run came in the third. Breianna Klein

doubled and scored on an error.

In the fifth, Zadie Hatfield reached on an error and took third on the play. A Martin single drove in a run. Kayla Wookey brought two around with a base hit.

UP NEXT — Murray (74) is back on the diamond at Diagonal in Bluegrass Conference play. The Mustangs face Bondurant-Farrar Friday morning at 9 a.m. at the John Stephens Classic at Creston High School’s softball field. On Saturday, the Mustangs face Clarke at Class 3A fifth-ranked Atlantic at 10:45 and then go up against Clarke at 2:15 p.m. at the tournament, with both games at the Creston High School field.

Interstate 35 (9-2) is at Pleasantville tonight (Thursday) in Pride of Iowa Conference play, then hosts Bedford Friday in Pride of Iowa play.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Oklahoma coach, former Hawkeye player and coach, Stoops retires NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Like a well-executed blitz, Bob Stoops shocked the college football world.

Oklahoma’s football coach abruptly announced his retirement Wednesday after leading the Sooners to 10 conference championships and a national title in 18 seasons.

T h e 56-yearold Stoops was the l o n gest-tenured active coach Stoops in major college football, taking the job at Oklahoma a day before Kirk Ferentz started at Iowa. He went 190-48 (.798) at Oklahoma in his only college head-coaching job, giving him more victories than Sooners greats Barry Switzer (157) and Bud Wilkinson (145).

With his success and the school’s winning tradition came pressure. Many in the restless fan base were frustrated that the Sooners hadn’t won a national title since 2000, even though

Stoops’ teams played for three more national titles during his tenure.

Stoops appreciated the run, and all that came with it.

“I’m not sad at all,” he said. “To everything, there is a season. It’s time, and that’s OK. I feel more grateful and appreciative and blessed that I had 18 1/2 years doing this with great people, great fan base, an incredible, legendary school, that I got this opportunity. It’s been a great ride. I’m happy about it. I’m more happy about that than I am sad that this day is here. It went fast.”

Stoops played at Iowa and was an assistant under Hayden Fry in the 1980s, working alongside Ferentz.

Stoops will stay on as a special assistant to the athletic director.

“I really don’t have a plan exactly what I’m going to do,” he said. “It’s a little bit frightening, but I’m really a spiritual person, and I believe until you open yourself up to something, you don’t know what the opportunities are that can come to you. So we’ll see what can flow my way.”

WEST DES MOINES – Jacob Hitz of Creston Community High School and Owen Hensley of Orient-Macksburg Community School were recognized by then-Gov. Terry Branstad and then-Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds for outstanding academic achievement at the 15th-annual Governor’s Scholar Recognition Ceremony April 30 at Hy-Vee Hall in Des Moines.

The statewide program, sponsored by the Iowa Governor’s Office, Iowa High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) and its title sponsor the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation (IFBF), honored 429 high school seniors from across Iowa.

“Iowa Farm Bureau members know that by investing in our youth and communities, we’re invest-

ing in the future of Iowa,” said IFBF President Craig Hilt. “We have been honored to be a title sponsor of the annual Governor’ s Scholar Recognition Ceremony for the past 15 years to celebrate Iowa’s exceptional high school students.

Iowa Farm Bureau is proud to be a leading contributor to educational programs and annual scholarships for our youth.”

Each high school was invited to select a senior student with the highest academic ranking, based on GPA for their first seven semesters. Students selected for the award also had the opportunity to recognize their favorite or most influential teacher and will receive a photo plaque of their meeting with Branstad and Reynolds.

“The principles learned through academic success, like those learned from participation in education-based activities, help develop outstanding leaders and citizens,” said IHSAA Executive Director Alan Beste. “The partnership between the IHSAA and the Iowa Farm Bureau, along with the great cooperation of the Governor’ s Office has made this prestigious event possible for many years.”

Ninety-nine percent of those recognized also participate in extra-curricular school activities, with more than 75 percent participating in at least one interscholastic sport. More than 65 percent of the group plan to continue their education in Iowa.

Myanmar navy ship, fishermen find bodies in search for plane The military announced that the bodies of 29 people had been recovered by late Thursday afternoon — 20 women, eight children and one man. In many cases, the bodies were not recovered whole, said a military officer involved in the recovery operation.

More than 1,000 people, including volunteers from dozens of community mutual aid societies with their vehicles, gathered on the beach at San Hlan village in Laung Lone township, which served as a landing point for recovery operations.

The bodies, fetched from the sea and taken aboard large fishing vessels and

navy ships, had been transferred to smaller boats which hauled them into shallow water at the beach, where soldiers put the body bags on stretchers and carried them to waiting trucks. The process had been delayed for several hours by heavy rain and choppy seas.

Local fishermen joined nine navy ships, five military aircraft and three helicopters in the search, military spokesman Gen. Myat Min Oo said. One of the first finds by the searchers was of two life jackets, bodies and an aircraft wheel in the sea west of Laung Lone, he announced earlier.

SAN HLAN, Myanmar (AP) — Fishermen joined navy and air force personnel Thursday in recovering bodies and aircraft parts from the sea off Myanmar, where a military plane carrying 122 people including 15 children crashed a day earlier, officials said.

The four-engine Chinese-made Y-8 turboprop aircraft had left Myeik, also known as Mergui, heading for Yangon on a route over the Andaman Sea. It was raining, but not heavily, at the time contact was lost with it at 1:35 p.m.
