Incongruity:

A pink, lacy dress adorned with sparkling crystals sits on display for today’s First Friday viewing of local artists from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Creston: Arts gallery in the restored Creston Depot. The dress and artwork in the background were created by Sarah Waigand, a student at Iowa State University in Ames studying apparel, merchandising and design. She plans to become a technical designer for an established company and eventually open her own business selling her own designs. The artist reception, titled “Incongruity,” is for Waigand and Levi Eblen, who has included his black-andwhite darkroom photography.

Steakhouse and Lounge

By JOEL LAMB

CNA staff reporter jlamb@crestonnews.com

One of uptown Creston’s restaurants, A & G Pizza Steakhouse and Lounge, will soon pass into the hands of new ownership.

A & G, which has been in the Groumoutis family and Creston’s culinary community for more than 40 years, will be taken over July 5 by Jake and Britni Kawa, both previous longtime residents.

“The whole bar and restaurant thing is something we both knew we always wanted to do, but we wanted to do it somewhere that we wanted to plant our roots,” Britni said. “We’re really excited to be back in Creston with family.”

Both halves of the Kawa collaboration have spent many years acquiring and sharpening professional skills that may help them with the challenge of adopting the local eatery and pub as their own.

“I’ve been in the business for a long time,” Jake said. “All through college and even after college, it’s all I’ve done.

I managed the Sports J. Kawa Column in Iowa City and a bar called the Dry Dock, which is by Cedar Rapids. Gus’, in Coralville, is where I’ve been managing.”

Britni has worked as the district manager for eight salons in Iowa. “My job was to retrain staff, to make sure

they understood that the customer is what comes first,” Britni said. “One big thing we focus on is the importance of communication and customer service.”

Letting ownership of A & G leave the family was a difficult and emotional decision for the Groumoutises, whose patriarch, Tony, opened the business in 1973. Tony’s son, Dino Groumoutis, currently manages the restaurant with a dedication to family tradition.

“I’m excited,” Dino said.

“They’re both extremely friendly and seem to deal with people well.

I think Groumoutis they’ll be a great fit for A & G.” Though the Kawas bring a magnitude of service and management experience from a different cultural climate, they both agree they are not trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to the restaurant’s operations and reputation.

“I think it would be kind of ignorant to go in there and change things that have been done so well for so long,” Jake said. “We want to be very consistent with all the food, keep all that the same. Down the road, we will bring in some new things that people will enjoy.”

Even the name of the Creston restaurant will remain intact as a reminder of the legacy upon which the business has grown.

“They’ve done a really good job over the years and

“WE WANT to be very consistent with all the food, keep all that the same. Down the road, we will bring in some new things that people will enjoy.”

JAKE KAWA

Next owner of A & G

I think the name is a lot that goes with it,” Jake said. “Everyone knows it.”

“We’re happy to see the name stay,” Dino said. “It’s like a piece of our family.

We’ve been a big part of the town for so long, we really didn’t want to see that change.”

Dino will stay to work with the Kawas for about a month after the change. Both parties plan to use this time to collaborate on ideas and preserve many of A & G’s valued traditions.

“Obviously, Dino’s done this a long time and is really good at it and knows what he’s doing,” Britni said. “I’m excited he’s agreed to stay on and teach us what he knows so we can continue doing as well as he is now.”

Dino said he takes great pride in his father’s successful launch of A & G and his family’s decades-long dedication to its reputation.

He also wants to ensure the preservation of many of the core elements of the business.

CONT. FROM | 1A

Suzanne Kinyon

Lenox, died Friday, July 1, 2016, at Southern Hills Specialty Care in Osceola.

Services are pending at Osceola Ritchie Funeral Home, 124 Suzanne Wurster Kinyon, S. Main St., in Lenox.

65, of Osceola, formerly of

certain recipes, the way the pizza dough is made, how the steaks are cut,� Dino said. “We have a really great customer base and I think they will be in good hands with Jake and Britni.�

Both members of the Kawa partnership are enthusiastic about their new business venture and the chance to become re-ingrained in the fabric of Creston’s community. “I just want to be part of the Creston community, go to football games, support teams, support the community in general,� Jake said. “As I got a little older and matured a little more, I started to see that being part of a community is really important at this stage in life.�

FOURTH: CONT. FROM | 1A

Clearfield Saturday, July 2 – 10 a.m.: Oriole Invitational Little League Tournament at Oriole Field Sunday, July 3 – 9:30 a.m. church service at the city park; 1 to 4 p.m.: free horseshoe tournament by the basketball courts; 4 p.m.: Nick Grose Memorial Home Run Derby; 7 p.m.: truck and tractor pull Monday, July 4 – 9 a.m.: sandlot volleyball at the park (call 641-344-3458 for more information); 1 p.m.: baby contest at the park

Britni added: “We felt like the s m a l l t o w n feel was s o m e thing we enjoyed growing up and B. Kawa want to give that to our kids.�

Dino stands in resolute agreement. “Creston is a very tightknit community and always has been. We’re thankful for being a part of that for so long,� he said.

The fact that A & G has been family-owned and operated for the entire 43 years since its conception was one of the driving forces behind the Kawas decision to take the reigns. “We want to keep that family feel and do this as a

family,� Britni said. “We hope that in 10 or 15 years, both of our girls will want to be up there working alongside us.�

The Kawas want to not simply maintain but increase the fondness of local residents for A & G. After establishing themselves, they have visions for improvements and additions, ranging from practical to fun. “The bathrooms definitely need addressed,� Jake said. “We’d like to maybe bring in some more games and things to do. They don’t have shuffleboard or darts, things like that. We’d like to give people something to do besides just sit, eat and drink.�

As first-time restaurant owners but longtime industry employees, the Kawas recognize major changes need time to come to fruition. Being pragmatic,

though, doesn’t stop the flow of ideas for the future of A & G. “We’d like to bring a spot in where people could watch the Hawkeye games, Iowa State games, things like that,� Jake said. “We’re going to bring in some TVs. We’re going to establish a drink program. We’ll probably bring in some new beers, sort of broaden the horizons in a small way.�

One prominent goal of the Kawas is for A & G to be an establishment where anyone and everyone feels safe, welcome and satisfied. “We want everybody, both in the restaurant and bar side, to feel comfortable coming in at any time,� Britni said. “Whether it’s a couple of guys stopping in after work for a few drinks or an entire family for a nice dinner, that’s really important to us.�

Taking flight with medications Dear Heloise: What do I absolutely need to know about TRAVELING WITH MEDS? – Tracy G., Salem, Mass.

Tracy, there are some do’s and don’ts, especially if traveling by commercial airlines. Here is a short list from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA): 1. Prescribed medication isn’t subject to the strict rules.

2. Take what you need for your trip (I always take a few extra days’ worth, just in case), and put it in your carry-on to be safe.

3. The TSA doesn’t require original containers, but states have different laws.

Generally, you’re OK with a normal supply.

4. Liquid medication can exceed the 3.4-ounce limit in what is called “reasonable quantities” for your trip.

Tell the inspectors about the liquid medications, which may be subject to additional screening. If you have a concern, carry a copy of your prescriptions.

SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com BABY WEIGHS LESS THAN ZERO? Dear Heloise: One of

Hints from Heloise the hints in the paper was from Mary H. in San Antonio about weighing her baby.

She said she weighs herself first and then adds the baby and weighs again.

If she subtracts the new weight from the original weight, she’ll have a negative number. Example: 140 + 12 = 152. 140 - 152 = -12.

I’m guessing I might not be the only one to write to you about this. There are lots of math whizzes out there.

Thanks for all your hints and suggestions. – George M., via email Yes, George, it may be a negative number, but it’s the number that counts! If this works for my reader, that’s all that counts. I’m sure she knows her baby doesn’t weigh less than zero! – Heloise

PHOTO OF APPOINTMENT CARD Dear Heloise: I had a doctor’s follow-up appointment that was scheduled five weeks in advance. After waiting, the receptionist said I didn’t have an appointment. She asked for my appointment card, and sadly, I’d left it at home. After more time, the doctor saw me anyway.

My husband suggested that I take a picture of the new appointment card, which I did. Now I can leave the original at home and have the picture ready to show, should this problem arise again. Thanks for the hint, honey! – Anna A. in San Antonio AUDIOBOOKS Dear Heloise: I read you in The (Baton Rouge, La.) Advocate. My library has preloaded audiobook devices, which are superior to CD books. CDs are dangerous because you have to change discs when driving alone.

The hand-held devices are compact and contain the entire book, with on/off, play, pause, forward/rewind, alternate reading speeds, beginning/remaining times, chapter numbers and auto turnoff.

Horoscope For Saturday, July 2, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)Conversations with others today will be personal, because you have something important you want to say. You’re not in the mood to chit chat about the weather or the news.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Money and finances are your focus today. Don’t be surprised if you feel possessive about something you own. You also will be reluctant to lend anything to anyone.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the Moon is in your sign, which makes you more emotional. However, it can bring you a bit of extra good luck! We like!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)You might withdraw from the world today so that you can have some quiet peace. It’s good to do this now and then to pull your act together.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a popular day. In particular, you might want to confide in a female friend; or vice versa, someone might need to confide in you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Personal details about your private life seemed to be public today. Just go with the flow, because this is what’s happening -- that’s all.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Do something different and out of the ordinary to shake up your day today. Basically, you want some adventure or a chance to travel, or both!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Wrap up loose details regarding inheritances, shared property and insurance issues. This is a good day to tackle certain issues you’ve been avoiding.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign.

Fear not; in two weeks, others will have to go more than halfway when dealing with you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You want to get better organized today. However, some of you also will focus on your health more than usual; and others will focus on their pet or the needs of their pet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a playful, romantic, fun-loving day! Enjoy the arts,

movies, sports events and fun times with children. Live it up!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Home and family are your main focus today. In fact, it will please you to cocoon at home among familiar surroundings.

(It’s a good day to veg out and eat junk food in front of the TV.) YOU BORN TODAY People respect you because you are responsible and receptive to the wishes of others. You have an active fantasy life of which few are aware. A new nine-

year cycle is the beginning of for you. This opens up many possibilities. You might start a new business activity or change residences. Open any door, because your future is in your hands.

Creston is 21-10 overall and finished 16-4 in Hawkeye 10 play.

“Told the kids, one part of our season is now over. We finished 16-4, we finished one game out of the conference title,” McCabe said.

“I told them I was proud of them for the way they defended the championship.

I couldn’t have asked for more.”

Creston is set to play Class 4A No. 1 Winterset tonight in what is likely to be a tournament preview.

“Long as we’re all on the same page and pulling in the same direction, that’s all that matters,” McCabe said.

Wolverines deliver key hits, down Raiderettes

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD—Only once in the past has Nodaway Valley’s Jessica Nelson been in the situation she found herself in during Thursday’s Pride of Iowa Conference contest with Mount Ayr. The Wolverines senior calmly delivered once again.

Nelson ripped a base hit up the middle to plate Paige McElfish from third base with the winning run as the Wolverines earned a 7-6 win.

“That was a great hit,” Nelson said. “It was such a rush. It’s such a great feeling to know that you hit the winning run in to win a very intense game.”

Nelson stepped into the box. She ripped the first pitch she saw into centerfield.

“She (Mount Ayr pitcher Sam Schaefer) pitched one right down the pipe,” Nelson said. “I knew that was a hit and I was like, ‘Yes, that was good!”

McElfish singled to start the inning then took third on Josie Clarke’s bunt.

“It was a great game,’ said Nodaway Valley coach Ray Stewart.

“The kids finally believed in themselves, got something done.”

Nodaway Valley overcame an early deficit, something it has not always been able to do in the past.

“It would’ve been pretty easy to get down early. That scared me,” Stewart said. “Some of those games we haven’t fought back from. We fought back. It was a good win.”

The Wolverines avenged a loss earlier this season at Mount Ayr. “The first time we played Mount Ayr, it was a tough loss,” said Nelson. “It’s such a great feeling.”

Mount Ayr tied the game at 6-6 in the top of the seventh when Caroline McAlexander torched a McElfish pitch over the left-center field fence for a solo home run with two outs.

“As soon as it left the bat,” said Mount Ayr coach Bret Ruggles when asked if he knew McAlexander’s hit was gone. “It zoomed off the bat.”

Ruggles had hoped for more, but his first two batters of the inning harmlessly grounded out.

“We needed two run, not one,” Ruggles said.

The Raiderettes started out red hot. With two outs in the first, the Raiderettes put four straight baserunners on. McAlexander reached on an error to score Megan Warin.

Shields ripped a double to score two.

Mount Ayr was cruising along

when Mother Nature had other ideas. A brief pop-up shower, and accompanying lighting, delayed the game for about half an hour in the middle of the second inning with the Raiderettes leading 3-0.

“We had the momentum,” Ruggles said. “We hit her (McElfish) hard. The wind was helping us.

Unfortunately, it was one of them deals.”

Rough night for Panthers baseball, falls at Atlantic

By RYAN KRONBERG first and third in the first in- Shiltz all had singles in the we didn’t tonight” Birchard good. We didn’t bounce back CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

ATLANTIC—Creston had an opportunity to strike early during Thursday’s Hawkeye 10 baseball game at Atlantic.

The Panthers couldn’t convert, setting the tone for the rest of the night.

Likewise, Atlantic converted on its opportunities and rolled to a 10-0, five-inning win.

Creston had runners at

ning. Panthers coach Steve Birchard called for a double steal. The runner was safe going from first to second, but the runner going from third to home was thrown out for the second out. Creston then couldn’t convert.

The Panthers had an opportunity in the second courtesy of a leadoff single, but came away empty-handed.

Creston had four hits, all singles, all in the first two innings. Michael Scherer, Cody Crawford and Chase

first. Brenden McDowell had the hit in the second.

It was all Atlantic from there.

The Trojans scored three in the second, four in the third and three in the fourth.

All three runs in the second were unearned.

Atlantic finished with nine hits. Creston hurt its own cause by committing four errors.

“In the third, there was a couple plays where we’d make them in the past, but

said. “They had a suicide bunt. It looked like we had a play at the plate. We had a double clutch throw and we don’t get it there in time.”

Plays like that happened throughout.

“It was one of those nights where things were going against us,” Birchard said.

Creston’s mental response to the challenges was not satisfactory to Birchard.

“We didn’t respond very well,” Birchard said. “Our body language was not very

very well within the game.”

Crawford took the loss. He allowed eight hits 10 runs, six earned, walked two and struck out none in three and two-thirds innings of work.

Creston fell to 12-11 overall and 10-8 in Hawkeye 10 play.

The Panthers look to respond this afternoon when Treynor comes to Creston for a matinee. First pitch in the varsity game is set for noon at Panther Field, with the JV to follow.

Timberwolves just good enough in home win East Union barely holds

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

CORNING — Trenton Drake’s first start of the year was by no means dominant, but his performance was a driving part in Southwest Valley’s 7-5 Thursday night victory over East Union in Pride of Iowa conference play.

Drake experienced control problems all night, partially due to lingering shoulder troubles that he has been experiencing much of the season according to Timberwolves coach Kenny Namanny.

“I’ve been giving him (Drake) the green light to run out there and pitch whenever he wants and whenever he’s feeling good.” ...We’re going to need him come districts,” Namanny said.

Drake allowed two runs to score in the sixth which allowed East Union to tie the game at 5-5. Trevor Jones and Colton Abell both came around to score after being walked by Drake.

The tall and lanky righty then beared down. He struck out Mason Gossman with two runners on and then walked Brandon Lee to load the bases and induced a popout out of Joshua Hardy to

end the frame.

In the sixth, Addison Bull reached base via a throwing error that allowed him to take second. Drake came through clutch with an up the middle single to score Bull. Joey Kernen singled up the box to then score Drake after he had taken second on a passed ball.

The 7-5 lead proved enough for Bull to work with as the sophomore hurler earned the save.

“We haven’t been getting a lot of big hits throughout the year so for them to answer in those situations was big,” Namanny said.

After a slow start, Southwest Valley produced some offense to get on the board with four runs in the third inning. East Union mistakes aided the Timberwolves.

“There was three minutes in two hours where we made mistakes that cost us the game,” East Union coach Dave Campbell said. “You take those three plays away and they score one, maybe two runs at the most.”

The Eagles grabbed a 3-0 lead in the third. Connor Mitchell scored the game’s first run pinch-running for Abell when he scored on a pickoff attempt when Drake attempted to get Gossman at second. The throw went

into center field and allowed Abell to waltz home.

The two third-inning runs came from Gossman and Hardy. The former walked to get on base and the latter moved him around with a double. Hardy scored on a Brayden Martinez single.

Bobby Hepner walked three times for the Eagles.

Hardy went 1-for-4 with a double and a run-batted-in.

“We hit the ball pretty decent tonight. We’re getting there,” Campbell said.

“The last two weeks we’re starting to hit the ball, start of the season we couldn’t hit squat.”

East Union has four more regular season games to play and goes to Truro tonight to play Interstate 35.

“It would be a huge moral boost to get a win before postseason started,” Campbell said. “We’re close. I know we’re close.”

Southwest Valley plays Wayne at home tonight.

CORNING — Both East Union coach Jason Riley and Southwest Valley coach Tara Miller both believed Thursday night’s Pride of Iowa conference game was a display of some of the best ball that their respective teams have played this year.

East Union was just a little better in a 6-5 win.

East Union led 6-3 going into the bottom of the seventh under the lights in Corning.

However, it was the Timberwolves who had more pep going, especially in the dugout as they dug in for their last turn at the plate.

Southwest Valley was energized from a run in the fifth and sixth, as well as by two incredibly-athletic Kennedy Moore running catches in the sixth.

“Kennedy did an awesome job tonight. That’s probably the best she has

played this year,” Miller said.

With its back against the wall in the seventh, Southwest Valley fought back.

Ashtyn Grossnickle singled to start the inning. After two consecutive outs, Danica Sunderman singled to keep the game going.

Kiara Roberts doubled to put runners on second and third. The Timberwolves trailed just 6-4.

Megan Mitchell, who started the game in the circle for East Union, came back in to pitch in relief of Jayden Welcher. She hit Kylie McBride to load the bases. Payton Thomas then hit a check-swing trickler to Mitchell. Mitchell threw on to home, but Sunderman was called safe at home on a controversial call.

Luckily for the Eagles, Mitchell came out on the positive end of a battle with Kendra Top. Mitchell struck out Top on a 3-2 EAGLES| 8A

Wolverines take care of business at home

By RYAN KRONBERG Weinhiemer was 2-for-5 with CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD — Good play from the offense, combined with solid pitching and poor defense from the opposing team added up to a winning formula for Nodaway Valley’s baseball team Thursday in a 12-2, six inning win over Mount Ayr in Pride of Iowa Conference baseball.

Nodaway Valley took control right away with a threerun first inning.

“Putting up a crooked number in the first inning is always great,” said Nodaway Valley coach Dan Jameson.

The Wolverines pounded out 12 runs on nine base hits. Most of those hits came at the top of the order. Beau

three runs. Joe Herr was 2-for-4 with two runs and three runs batted in. Ryan Jensen was 2-for-4 with three RBIs and two runs. Jackson Lamb was 2-for-4 with one driven in and three runs.

Tyler Vandewater and Sam Marnin each drove in the other runs.

The Wolverines had four stolen bases and took advantage of several wild pitches and passed balls.

“We put the ball in play,” Jameson said. “We ran the bases extremely well. We picked up extra bases when we needed them.”

Mount Ayr’s defense had been solid in an 8-5 win Wednesday night at Earlham.

The Raiders defense betrayed them on Thursday.

“There’s really not much to say,” said Mount Ayr coach Chris Elwood. “We didn’t play any defense. At Earlham, we played a great game. It was error free.”

Mount Ayr’s defensive struggles helped Nodaway Valley pull away late.

The Wolverines scored four in the fourth, three in the fifth and two in the sixth.

“If we play good defense, we’re a good team,” Elwood said. “When we have nights like tonight, we don’t ask them to make the spectacular play. We want them to make the routine play.

That’s where we’ve had our difficulties. Give Nodaway Valley credit, they put it in play. We just couldn’t make plays.”

Nodaway Valley pitcher Corbin Bond was especially

effective. He only needed 65 pitches to finish the complete game. Bond allowed three hits, two earned runs, walked one and struck out two.

Bond even survived taking a batted ball off his foot in the third.

“Corbin did a great job on the mound,” Jameson said.

Jacob Taylor took the loss for Mount Ayr. Nodaway Valley improved to 14-9 overall and 12-3 in the Pride of Iowa Conference. The Wolverines are back on the diamond Tuesday at Lenox in a Pride of Iowa Conference game.

Mount Ayr fell to 11-11 overall and 6-9 in the conference. The Raiders close out Pride of Iowa Conference play tonight hosting Martensdale-St. Marys.

count to end the game.

‘Both my pitchers know that one plays the DP role and one plays the flex, which means I can switch them back and forth as many times as I want,” Jason Riley said.

And that he did. Mitchell did surrender a run but came through with pitches when she needed to. She earned the win in the circle and finished it off.

Miller felt good about the game despite missing a golden opportunity in the bottom of the seventh.

“We started out top of the order and we started really good,” Miller said. “Unfortunately we got people on and when the bases were loaded we just couldn’t do anything with them.”

East Union’s offense came mostly early. The Eagles scored two runs in the first, second and fourth innings.

“We kind of stalled out because they made great plays,” Riley said.

Kacie Ripperger went 2-for-4 and scored two runs.

Callie Gossman and Olivia Eckels both had two-hit nights as well. The Eagles had 11 hits total.
