Greater Regional Medical Center has expanded its arsenal of services after the purchase of a physical capacity profile (PCP) machine.

Hospital staff purchased the machine, which arrived June 6. The machine is capable of helping employers reduce workers’ compensation claims and provide information about what kinds of jobs someone is physical-

“It is a sequence of tests to measure strength,” said Nancy Anthony, Greater Regional business health and wellness director. “It has a comprehensive medical review also, and then we put the client through the tests to measure strength.

The test takes approximately 35 minutes to complete.”

The machine is similar to various weight-lifting machines meshed together, but without moving parts.

For example, to measure a

client’s ability to lift their legs from a sitting position, the client would sit on the machine, place the legs behind the leg-lift pad and attempt to lift the pad. The pad will not move, but the machine will gauge how much effort the client put into attempting to move it for three tries.

The various tests help show how capable a client is of doing a specific job.

The client is then sorted into one of five levels based on degree of strength.

Sedentary work, a level 1 strength, is described as exerting up to 10 pounds of force occasionally and/or negligible amount of force frequently. It is also described as involving sitting most of the day, but may involve walking or standing.

A level 5 client, or one capable of doing very heavy work, is described as exerting in excess of 100 pounds occasionally, and/or in excess of 50 pounds of force GRMC | 2A

in Leon.

Responders found Rattray unresponsive, and despite efforts to resuscitate, he was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy is pending.

The matter is under investigation by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and the Leon Police Department.

Man killed, 2 children injured in pickup crash LAMONI (AP) — Authorities say a man has been killed and two children injured in the crash of a pickup truck in south-central Iowa.

The crash occurred around 2:45 p.m. Saturday, about 7 miles (12 kilometers) northeast of Lamoni.

The Iowa State Patrol says 69-year-old James Young lost control of his pickup

while going around a curve on a gravel road. The patrol says Young was ejected from the truck after it struck a telephone pole. The patrol says Young died on the way to a hospital. He lived in Lamoni.

The patrol says a 13-yearold and a 10-year-old with him were taken to a hospital in Leon.

James Dean Matheny was born May 5, 1956, in Hastings, Nebraska, the son of Paul Junior Matheny and Bernice Opal (Yocum) Matheny. Jim grew up in Nebraska and California until the family moved to Clearfield in 1965. He grew up attending school in Clearfield, graduating from Clearfield High School with the class of 1975. After graduation, he worked for Totes Manufacturing in Lenox where he learned the welding trade. He went to work for Larry Rice erecting pole frame metal buildings, later going to work for Burcliff in Corning, where he met and fell in love with Sheila.

Sheila Coleen Key was born June 9, 1963, in Maryville, Missouri, the daughter of Norman Wesley Hawn and Wanda Lillian (Larson) Key. Sheila grew up in Bedford attending school, graduating from Bedford High School with the class of 1981. After graduation, Sheila obtained her CNA degree. She then went to work for Bedford Nursing and Rehab. She went to work at Burcliffe in Corning where she met and fell in love with Jim. On Nov. 18, 1993, Jim and Sheila were united in marriage and they made their home in Bedford. A wonderful new family was created with the addition

of Jaime, Josh, Jake, Tausha and Kalob. Jim worked for Iowa Tool Manufacturing in Creston and Sheila worked for Kawasaki in Maryville and also part time at Bedford Nursing and Rehab. Jim and Sheila never missed an event their children participated in, they could always be found in the stands cheering loudly and enthusiastically at their performance. Once the grandchildren came along, Jim and Sheila thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them camping, fishing, barbecuing, attending T-ball games or any other event they might participate in.

Jim was a huge Nebraska Cornhusker fan, and somewhere along the way, Sheila joined him in his enthusiasm for cheering on the team.

Jim and Sheila were very close to his sister Jerolyn and husband, Mike Weese.

Generally, if you saw one couple, you saw both couples. Together they enjoyed camping, motorcycling and sitting around the fire pit enjoying life. Tragically, all four lives ended in a motorcycle accident near Ogallala, Nebraska, on July 1, 2017.

The family takes comfort in the fact they were all together.

Jim and Sheila possessed a true love in their marriage.

The standards were set high for the children, their spous-

“We want to make sure that our companies are putting the right people in the job requirements they have. This machine objectively decides that,” Anthony said.

“It also helps our providers when working with work c o m p claims on Anthony what the client’s data is. It is important information for physicians, employers and insurance companies.”

According to the PCP pamphlet, “physicians appreciate having preinjury measurements to assist in assuring employees are returning to their previous strength levels.” The data shows a physician where a client is at, which is objective information a physician may not have otherwise.

For example, if a client is recovering from a lower-back injury after a work-related incident, the machine will help a physician tell if the client’s lower-back strength is at the same level as it was prior to the incident, which then the client could return to work.

The PCP pamphlet also reads “employers’ legal teams many times are left trying to defend claims from employees claiming to have been 100 percent healthy prior to an injury.”

By having a client tested prior to working at a company, then after returning to work from an injury, there is more solid data showing how the client’s health changed over time.

“The test runs $125, but if employers want to package services we can give a discount,” Anthony said.

“The cost savings of reducing work comp claims when putting the right person in the job is a great savings for employers.”

Common worker’s compensation injuries include care of eye injuries, bone fractures, cuts and sprains or strains to joints.

Greater Regional staff went through training for approximately one month to get certification to run the test, and it is now available for use.

“We want employers who have those job positions that maybe require more of a physical strength to be able to put the right person in that position,” Anthony said. “If employers have certain positions that maybe they are seeing more work comp issues with, then we can focus on that particular job.”

Other services provided through Greater Regional’s business health and wellness department include Department of Transportation physicals and recertifications, drug screens, on-site laboratory, basic hearing and vision testing and immunizations.

“I think it will help employers make better decisions on who can really do the job without injuries that are a cost to their bottom line,” Anthony said.

“WE WANT employers who have those job positions that maybe require more of a physical strength to be able to put the right person in that position.”

Game of the year (so far) Game of the year (so far) CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON

Murray catcher Brandi Gilbert looks to tag Mount Ayr’s Sam Stewart to complete a douple play in the first inning of Friday’s Class 1A regional semifinal game in Mount Ayr. Tessa Shields was out on a ground ball to pitcher Kayla Wookey. First baseman Zadie Hatfield took the throw from Wookey for the first out and threw to Gilbert to catch Stewart breaking for home. Gilbert was 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs scored in the Lady Mustangs’ 12-9 victory. Umpire Mike Taylor of Creston stands ready to make the call.

Murray goes to great lengths to take down Mount Ayr

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Friday’s Class 1A Region 8 semifinal between Murray and Mount Ayr was as exciting softball gets.

Both squads overtook each other time after time throughout the game before Murray broke a 9-9 tie with a three-run sixth inning to put down a feisty effort from Mount Ayr in a 12-9 win to advance to the regional final Monday at Clarke in Osceola against Colfax-Mingo.

Colfax-Mingo defeated Grand View Christian 8-7 in eight innings on an Amy Russell walk-off home run.

“I told the girls after the game that I dream a lot before games because I don’t sleep a lot but when I do sleep, this 12-9 game was nowhere in my radar,” Murray coach Danny Jensen said.

Mount Ayr coach Bret Ruggles was of the same mindset.

“I think if you had told me tonight it was going to be 12-9, I would have laughed at you,” Ruggles said. “I said two runs was going to win this thing… when they went up 3-0, I thought we were buried.”

Kayla Wookey’s sixth-inning grounder to Mount

Ayr shortstop Sam Stewart scored Breianna Klein from third when Stewart’s throw was too late to push the Lady Mustangs ahead 10-9.

Kelli Romero did the same, a grounder to short, but this time Brandi Gilbert only barely slid in under the tag of catcher Abbigail Barnes to push it to 11-9.

“Our offense was phenomenal,” Jensen said. “We made some great offensive plays. Even up and down.”

Murray scored one last time on a Kendra Boles ground ball to second base that allowed Wookey to score.

“We weren’t going to lose no matter what,” Gilbert said, “It has to be the highest, most intense game I’ve ever played in.”

The margin for error was slim throughout Friday’s titanic struggle.

Mount Ayr had tied the game up in the top half of the sixth with four runs.

The Raiderettes were the road team due to seeding and Murray not having the regulation field needed for postseason play, and thus batted first.

Early going After Murray took advantage of Mount Ayr mistakes in the first inning for a 3-0 lead, Mount Ayr roared back, undeterred.

The Raiderettes got two runs back, aided by several defensive mistakes by Murray and a run-scoring single

by Barnes to score Winemiller to make it 3-2.

With Mount Ayr still hitting Wookey hard, Murray inserted Bre Klein into the game to pitch during the second inning. She pitched through the fourth inning, and Wookey came back to the circle for the fifth through the rest of the game.

“We just chased out Wookey. Nobody chases out Wookey,” Ruggles told his team during the game.

In the fourth, Mount Ayr was the beneficiary of clutch hits by Stewart, to score Emma Mobley, and a rapidly-sinking fly to left center by Tessa Shields that Romero had in her glove but dropped after hitting the ground hard.

That 5-3 lead lasted but minutes.

After putting two successive outs on the board to start the bottom of the fourth, Mount Ayr pitcher Caroline McAlexander worked into trouble.

Meghan Gould got hit by a McAlexander pitch, and Hailey Chew followed that with a single to left.

Best performance yet for SWV

CORNING — After completing 17 games without a win to start the season, the Southwest Valley baseball team had seen only marginal improvements leading up to the final three weeks of the season.

The final two weeks of June were another story, as the Timberwolves have experience an upswing into July, which helped lead to a five-inning 10-0 swashbuckling of visiting Griswold in a Class 1A District 13 opener Saturday in Corning.

The victory means the Timberwolves will travel to Anita to face CAM (18-7) Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Southwest Valley per-

formed every facet of the game better than it had in nearly every game this summer.

Whereas most of the starting lineup sat below the Mendoza line (below .200 batting average) just several weeks ago, now, five Timberwolves are hitting above .260.

Aiden Gaule and lone Timberwolves senior Joey Kernen are now both hitting above .340.

“If you look at our stats earlier this year, our team batting average was .080-something,” Kernen said. “And now it’s over .200. To make that big of a stretch is huge.”

The Timberwolves had five hitters with multiple base knocks and 15 hits overall in Saturday’s win.

Evan Davis had three hits, while Dustin Lund, Aiden Gaule, Teagan Lundquist and Aiden Gaule each had two apiece.

“At the beginning of the year you were holding your breath, especially at the bottom of the lineup,” Southwest Valley coach Kenny Namanny said. “Now everybody has a shot to get a hit.

Another thing, our strikeouts are really down from the first half of the season.”

Southwest Valley got its offense going early in the first when Davis followed Kernen’s two-out double with a run-scoring single to go up 1-0.

Southwest Valley scored on an error in the second, and again when Aiden CNA photo by KALEB CARTER Gaule singled home Merik Southwest Valley junior Merik Gaule follows through on a base hit single to lead off the SWV | 6A

Raiders’ season comes to abrupt halt Mount Ayr stopped in its tracks by CD n

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

TRURO – Mount Ayr found itself behind the 8-ball early here Saturday, as Central Decatur put up eight runs in the second inning on its way to an 18-3 win over the Raiders in Class 2A District 12 play.

Mount Ayr ends its season at 16-7 with the loss, while Central Decatur improved to 17-13 and advances to Tuesday’s district semifinal against Class 2A fifth-ranked Woodward-Granger (27-5).

Early deficit Trailing 9-1 going to the bottom of the third inning, Mount Ayr got back-toback singles by Hunter Haveman and Tristan Holmes. Zach Murphy then reached on a base hit, and Haveman scampered home on a throwing error to cut the lead to 9-2.

Mount Ayr’s best opportunity came in the bottom of the fourth inning.

After Central Decatur brought Rylon O’Dell in to pitch in relief of starter Ricky Marcus, O’Dell hit the first three batters he faced to load the bases.

Haveman hit a sacrifice fly to deep center field to cut the lead to 9-3, but O’Dell worked out of the jam allowing just the one run. “We felt like we had a chance,� Mount Ayr head coach Chris Elwood said. “Even when it was 8-0, I talked to the guys and said, ‘Hey, we’ve had several games this year where we’ve scored more than

SWV CONT. FROM | 5A

eight runs. Don’t give up, get after it.’ We battled back and got it to 9-3 and there were a couple times we couldn’t get that hit to score a few more runs, but then again, they put nine more up and that was the end of it.�

Carter Boothe scored on an infield fly rule with the bases loaded and then two more runs scored on a wild pitch in the top of the fifth inning for Central Decatur.

The Cardinals tacked on six more runs in the top of the sixth inning to end the game on the mercy rule.

Raider freshman Keelan Klommhaus entered the game with a 7-0 record and 68 strikeouts to just 29 walks with a 2.29 earned run average in 33 2/3 innings pitched.

But Central Decatur touched him up early, handing him his first loss of the season. “I want to give credit to Central Decatur. They came and they were ready for it. They put the ball in play. We had a few issues on the field, but overall, I want to give credit to CD,�

Elwood said. “Keelan has thrown extremely well for us as a freshman. He’s thrown the most innings for us. From the last time we played them, he doesn’t seem like he’s throwing as hard as he was. I’m not going to put that on him, though. He threw as well as he could.�

Mount Ayr loses just one senior from this year’s team, which finished tied for fourth in the Pride of Iowa Conference at 11-5.

Dylan Campbell finished out his high school career by finishing Saturday’s game on the mound. “He’s pitched for us

Elwood said. “We have just about everybody back.

If you would have told me at the beginning of the year we’d end up 16-7 on the year, ... I’d have taken it in a heartbeat. I think we’re looking good going forward.�

It’s a great feeling.�

The pitching performance was the best of the year for the Timberwolves. “He was just filling it up.

Throwing strikes,� Namanny said. “He’s got movement. If he just goes out and gets in the zone, we’re going to get outs. Tonight we got a lot of him.�

Additionally, Saturday’s game was the Timberwolves’ first game without a defensive error.

As far how the ending of Southwest Valley’s season feels compared to the beginning of the season, Kernen summed it up simply: “It just feels great dude.�

count, Murray’s Zadie Hatfield came up with one of the biggest strokes of the year for the Lady Mustangs, bashing a triple off the fence in right field, and went from sliding into third to sprinting safely into home after a poor relay throw.

Hatfield crossing the plate clinched a 6-5 lead.

The Lady Mustangs did add three more runs in the fifth with a run-scoring single

by Kelli Romero and a hard grounder by Meghan Gould that went through Raiderette second baseman Alyssa Johnson’s legs.

“It was just a mess,” Ruggles said. “It was a close ball game, unfortunately we just made too many bad errors that just cost us a lot of runs.”

“WE had a good scouting report. I thought I was throwing good scouting report stuff and they were hitting rise balls, they hit curve balls, they hit it all over the place.”

Murray committed four errors to Mount Ayr’s three.

Mount Ayr answered in turn in the top of the sixth, showing that it had no limits to its fight.

up the middle, Johnson then blasted one back up the box to pull Mount Ayr within two.

“I have never seen so many people hit Kayla up the middle,” Gilbert.

“She was throwing her spots pretty well, Gilbert I must say.

They were just getting ahold of it.”

Mount Ayr ended up with 16 hits and seven multi-hit batters.

“We had a good scouting report. I thought I was throwing good scouting report stuff and they were hitting rise balls, they hit curve balls, they hit it all over the place. Very very good,” Jensen said.

Double play

Murray coach Danny Jensen sends Kelli Romero home on a Mount Ayr infield error in Wookey came up with a the fifth ining to stretch the Lady Mustangs’ lead to 9-5 in Friday’s regional semifinal game in Mount Ayr. Murray advanced to tonight’s regional final against Colfax-Mingo big play when she gloved a in Osceola with a 12-9 victory.

comebacker by Sara Winemiller, threw on to Gilbert at home for the force out, and Gilbert threw on to Hatfield at first for the first two outs of the top of the sixth.

Barnes followed that sequence with a hopper that ate up Gould at shortstop and allowed a run to score and pulled Mount Ayr within one at 9-8.

One last Raiderette run came home when Sam Schaefer connected solidly with a base hit to left to tie the game 9-9.

It was Murray who proved more resilient in the end with the big bottom of the sixth.

“I wanted to go to Bre in the seventh but Tessa (Otto) she says ‘let Kayla finish it,’” Jensen said of being convinced not to put Klein back out in the circle to try and finish the game off.

To end the game, Wookey gave up a single to Larsen to start the seventh and induced a flyout by Stewart

to right field, that the Lady Mustangs’ Chew tossed on to first to double off Larsen as Hatfield flailed to try and catch the ball and keep her foot on the base. That last detail was debated afterward, but the out call was made.

Wookey then retired McAlexander to end the game as Kelli Romero made a sliding catch on McAlexander’s shallow fly to center field.

The Raiderettes converged around the pitchers mound after the game for about 10 minutes, emotionally exhausted from the battle while the jubilant Lady Mustangs circled in right field to discuss the enormity of night, and coming battle with Colfax-Mingo.

Departing seniors

Departing Mount Ayr seniors Larsen, Shields and Megan Warin have helped pave a brighter path for the program than what was there

just a short time ago.

“All three have had a huge impact on this program,” Ruggles said. “Two years ago we (Bret and cocoach, wife Ruggles Brandie Ruggles) took over this program, we talked to Maddie Mobley, who was our only senior, was basically ‘let’s get back to three expectations: Have fun, learn the game, and love your teammates.’”

Mount Ayr finished the Shields season 1814.

Murray, now 28-5, will look to make its first state

appearance since 2005.

Bulldog boys bash Tigers O-M rides big first to easy win ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

ORIENT — One last time at home, the Orient-Macksburg baseball team got its knocks in in a 15-0 win over AC/GC Friday afternoon in four innings.

Friday’s game was the last before the Bulldogs (715) go head-to-head with Nodaway Valley (7-16) Tuesday in Lenox at 5 p.m.

That game opens up Class 1A District 13 action, with the winner taking on whoever wins the game between CAM (18-7) and Southwest Valley (3-19).

Critical Red Cross blood shortage prompts emergency call for donations The American Red Cross is facing a critical blood shortage and is issuing an emergency call for eligible blood and platelet donors of all blood types to give now and help save lives.

Blood donations have fallen short of expectations for the past two months, resulting in about 61,000 fewer donations than needed and causing a significant draw down of the Red Cross blood supply. The shortfall is the equivalent of the Red Cross not collecting any blood donations for more than four days.

“It’s crucial that people donate now to meet the needs of patients every day and to be prepared for emergencies that require significant volumes of donated blood,” said Amy Brown, donor recruitment district manager of Midwest Blood Services region. “Every day, blood and platelet donors can help save lives, and right now these heroes are needed to give as soon as possible.”

How to help To schedule an appointment to donate, use the free blood donor app, visit www. redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767). The Red Cross has added more than 25,000

additional appointment slots at donation centers and community blood drives across the country over the next few weeks to accommodate more donors. Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass online health history questionnaire are encouraged to help reduce the time it takes to donate.

Summer months lead to shortage Blood shortages often worsen around Independence Day due to many fewer volunteer-hosted blood drives at places of work, worship or community gathering, and this year is no exception.

Nearly 700 fewer blood drives are scheduled during the Independence Day week than the weeks before and after the holiday.

Overall, the summer months are among the most challenging times of the year for blood and platelet donations as regular donors delay giving while they vacation and participate in summer activities. In a recent survey of Red Cross blood donors, more than 73 percent indicated vacation plans this summer, many of them occurring the weeks before and after Independence Day. New donors and those who haven’t given in a while

are especially encouraged to roll up a sleeve and help save lives. Nearly one-third fewer new blood donors came out to give last summer than during the rest of the year due in part to schools, where blood drives are held and where new donors give, being out of session during the summer months.

Who blood donations help Every two seconds in the United States blood and platelets are needed to respond to patient emergencies, including accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant procedures and patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease. The Red Cross must collect nearly 14,000 blood donations every day for patients at approximately 2,600 hospitals across the country.
