Broadway musical “Godspell,” performed

by Crest Area Theatre opens 7 p.m. Thursday at the Southwestern Community College (SWCC) Performing Arts Center in Creston.

“It’s not your typical show,” said director John Calahan of Murray. “I had no idea just how strange it was going to be. It’s kind of off the beaten path.

There’s not a typical set or anything like that. Ninety percent of the script is just stage directions — not dialogue — whereas a normal play would have tons

of dialogue.”

“Godspell” is a musical originally composed

by Stephen Schwartz of New York (“Wicked,” “Pippen,” “Children of Eden”) in 1971. “Day by Day,” one of the musical’s featured songs, hit No. 13 on the Billboard pop singles chart in the summer of 1972.

“Jerry Huffman, who’s the vice president of the Crest Area Theatre recommended the show for us (in April) — and it’s one that I wanted to do for a while,” s a i d Calahan.

“I really loved the rock mu- Calahan sic in the score.

I consider myself to be a guitar player first and foremost — I teach guitar over at Murray. And so I was looking for something

I could play in the pit and that had a cool kind of rock score.”

The plot structure of “Godspell” roughly follows the Gospel of Matthew; the story is told in a series of skits based on parables set to modern rock music.

“Godspell” is popular among theater companies for its small technical demands, minimal cast size and flexibility allowing for creativity in the dialogue.

“What you see is all that they (the cast) have come up with on their own,” said Calahan. “I’ve just said, ‘Here’s a framework, and work with it. See what you can do.’ The script gives you a lot of license to do what you want with the characters.”

Of the 10 cast members required for “Godspell,” Jesus’ character is most prominently featured.

role as being mostly about teaching.

“Well, I’m Jesus,” said Walter, laughingly. “Really, I’m just kind of — and especially in this play where it goes from the baptism up to the crucifixion — I’m a teacher. I am building community with my disciples, so I can leave that community behind and that love behind so that it can continue when I’m gone.

“My first thoughts?” continued Walter. “My first thoughts were that I have like 70 percent of THEATRE | 2A

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The nation’s governors gather this week amid great uncertainties for their states — on health care, solutions to the opioid overdose epidemic, even how to address the effects of climate change without help from the federal government.

Proposed changes to the nation’s existing health care law will be front and center as Republican leaders in the U.S. Senate seek ways to salvage their overhaul effort.

Governors from both parties have spoken out against elements of the most recent bill, which could have enormous consequences for the states. Their nonpartisan group, the National Governors Association, has called on the Senate to give governors a say in shaping any

reforms.

Their summer meeting begins Thursday in Providence and will include an address by Vice President Mike Pence Pence.

Governors in states that expanded Medicaid under former President Barack Obama’s health care law are especially concerned as Republicans in Congress try to make good on their repeated promises to repeal and replace the law.

A bill that passed the House and one proposed in the Senate eventually would STATES | 2A

As Russia scandal touches his son, Trump privately rages WASHINGTON (AP) — The snowballing revelations about Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer during last year’s presidential campaign have broadsided the White House, distracting from its agenda as aides grapple with a crisis involving the president’s family.

The public has not laid eyes on the president since his return from Europe Saturday. But in private, Trump has raged against the latest Russia development, with

most of his ire directed at the media, not his son, according to people who have spoken to him in recent days.

On Wednesday morning, Trump tweeted that his son was “open, transparent and innocent,” again referring to the investigation as “the greatest Witch Hunt in political history.” The president also questioned the sources of the media reporting on the story, despite the fact RUSSIA | 2A

STATES:

Care Act is proving difficult, in part because some states expanded their Medicaid programs while others did not. Those that did not also would have to grapple with the cuts to Medicaid overall.

In either case, states would have to figure out how to afford coverage for low-income residents or deal with people who would go without insurance and turn up in emergency rooms when they needed care.

Yet many governors also face turmoil in their state’s private health insurance market, as people who do not get coverage through their employer or Medicaid have faced skyrocketing premiums and fewer choices.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, a Republican, said she wants Congress “to get something done� on replacing the Affordable Care Act but declined to offer specifics. In Iowa and many other states, Reynolds steep losses have forced carriers to exit the

insurance exchanges set up under the Obama-era law.

Governors prefer a bipartisan approach to any changes, said Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, a Republican who works with a Legislature controlled by Democrats. “Many times, one of the big messages we deliver to our colleagues in Washington is you should all try to work a little harder to get along with one another and find common ground,� he told reporters Tuesday when asked about the health care debate.

Governors from more than 30 states and the territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands have said they will attend the gathering in Rhode Island.

A governors-only session will give the chief executives a chance to ask questions of U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price and Seema Verma, the administrator of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Medicaid funding is a key topic for governors for another reason: It’s become essential in states’ ability to address the opioid addiction crisis. Discussing the wide-

spread problem of overdoses from prescription painkillers and illicit drugs such as heroin and fentanyl is on the meeting’s agenda.

Also up for discussion is how to move forward on ways to combat climate change after the Trump administration said it would pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate pact.

Raimondo, the Rhode Island governor, said she wants to see governors collectively say they will commit their states to the Paris standards and thinks they can work directly with world leaders to address the problem.

Among those expected to attend is Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is scheduled to speak about international collaboration and has said he wants to find common solutions on climate change.

Trudeau has said he was “deeply disappointed� with Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement. Foreign dignitaries have attended the association’s meetings in recent years, though not heads of government.

onymity in order to discuss the mood in the West Wing.

The president, in conversations with confidants, has questioned the quality of advice he has received from senior staff, Trump including chief of staff Reince Priebus.

However, Priebus has been a frequent target of criticism for months and even those taking aim at him now said it did not appear as though a shakeup was on the horizon.

There has also been a difference of opinion within the West Wing as to how to handle the crisis, with some aides favoring more transparency than others. Some of the unhappiness centers on Trump’s legal team, which is led by New York attorney Marc Kasowitz.

An unusual statement Saturday night from the legal team’s spokesman Mark Corallo appeared to claim Trump Jr., Kushner and Manafort were duped into meeting with the Russian lawyer, and was viewed as particularly unhelpful by senior White House officials.

The president, again on Twitter, pushed back Wednesday on the narrative of a dysfunctional administration, writing that the White House “is functioning perfectly� and claiming that “I have very little time for watching T.V.�

At least 10 of the presi-

dent’s tweets since Monday have been about TV shows or links to videos from the Fox News Channel.

The revelations come at a pivotal moment for Trump and the Republican Party, as GOP senators race to finish work on a health care overhaul that has divided the party. Trump has largely stayed on the sidelines of the policy negotiations on the measure, but has still publicly pressed GOP senators to wrap up work on legislation this summer and fulfill one of the party’s central promises to voters.

On Capitol Hill, some Republican lawmakers cast the Russia controversy as a distraction from the health care debate. “We ought to be disciplined and not be distracted by things that may be legitimate but not right now in our lane,� said Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina.

The matter has also distracted from a brief stretch in which some White House advisers believed they were finding their footing.

Trump aides, who view clashes with the media as

central to the president’s agenda, were emboldened when three journalists from CNN resigned after the network withdrew a story about a Trump ally. Trump’s allies were also heartened by his trip to Europe last week, feeling that his speech saluting national pride in Poland was a high point of his presidency and believing that he held his own during meetings with foreign leaders at an international summit in Germany.

But the afterglow of Trump’s trip quickly vanished, replaced once again with questions about the swirling federal and congressional investigations into Russia’s election meddling.

And Trump allies took notice Tuesday when Vice President Mike Pence distanced himself from the revelation by the president’s son. In a statement, Pence spokesman Marc Lotter said the vice president “was not aware of the meeting,� adding Pence was “not focused on stories about the campaign especially those pertaining to the time before he joined the campaign.�

phase out the federal subsidy that most states used to expand Medicaid coverage to low-income adults who don’t have children at home.

The expansion has provided coverage to about 11 million Americans in 31 states.

The GOP bills also would cap how much the federal government would pay for state-run Medicaid programs in the future while giving states more say over how to use the money they do receive. Medicaid is the biggest source of federal revenue for states and is among the largest expenses in most state budgets. “It’s important for us to figure out a way to speak with one voice to the Trump administration to explain that this is going to hurt a lot of people in a lot of states, regardless of whether there’s a Democrat or Republican in the governor’s mansion,� said Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo, a Democrat who is hosting the summit.

that his son personally released four pages of emails in which he communicates with an associate claiming to be arranging a meeting with a Russian government lawyer.

The bombshell revelation that Trump Jr. was eager to accept information from Moscow landed hard on weary White House aides. While staffers have grown accustomed to a good news cycle being overshadowed by the Russia investigations, Trump aides and outside advisers privately acknowledged that this week’s developments felt more serious.

In the emails, the intermediary says the attorney has negative information about Democrat Hillary Clinton that is part of the Russian government’s efforts to help Trump in the campaign.

The then-candidate’s son responds: “I love it.�

This new setback raises new questions about whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Moscow during the election, a charge the president has denied for months. And it points those questions more directly at the inner circle of Trump’s own family.

As has been the pattern for Trump’s White House, the controversy has sparked a new round of recriminations among the president’s team.

Nearly a dozen White House officials and outside advisers spoke on the condition of an-

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, July 12, 2017

Sarah’s Law – Progress Towards Justice Council Bluffs resident Sarah Root had just graduated from Bellevue University with a perfect 4.0 grade point average.

She had her whole, bright future ahead of her.

But one day after Sarah’s college graduation in January 2016, Eswin Mejia stole her future when he crashed into her car, fatally injuring her. Police report that Mejia’s blood alcohol content was .241 – three times the legal limit to drive.

Sarah never regained consciousness. She passed away several days later when she was removed from life-support.

For Sarah’s family the tragedy of losing her was exasperated because the opportunity to bring Sarah’s killer, Eswin Mejia, to justice

U.S. Congressman David Young Republican

was denied.

Mejia was well-known to law enforcement and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency because he was an illegal immigrant from Honduras with a criminal record.

He disappeared after ICE failed to act on local law enforcement detainment requests, and has not been seen since posting bail in February of 2016. It is believed he fled justice and responsibility for his crimes by returning to Honduras.

It is no question there were serious mishandlings in this tragic case. The federal government’s lack of enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws is troubling and unacceptable.

In 2016, I first introduced legislation in Congress to ensure nothing like this happens again. The legislation is called Sarah’s Law. I led this effort in the U.S. House of Representatives in the previous 114th Congress, and was pleased my colleague, Nebraska Representative Don Bacon, joined me in reintroducing this legislation in January shortly after the start of the current 115th Congress.

My Iowa colleagues Senator Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley introduced companion legislation in the U.S. Senate.

Sarah’s Law amends existing mandatory detention provisions in place under the Immigration and Nationality Act. It requires federal authorities – ICE in this case – to take custody of any individual charged with a crime resulting in the death or serious bodily injury of another person, who has entered or remains in the United States illegally. Sarah’s Law also mandates ICE make reasonable efforts to update the victims or their families with relevant information about the criminal or the federal agency’s efforts.

On June 29, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass legislation known as the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act (H.R. 3003) which I am proud to report included language from Sarah’s Law.

Sarah’s mother, Michelle Root, sat in the House Gallery of the U.S. Capitol Building to witness the passage of legislation.

Including Sarah’s Law language in this legislation is a huge step forward to ensure criminals don’t fall through the cracks because of current bureaucratic confusion. It is now awaiting consideration by the U.S. Senate.

Together we can work to protect our families and communities in Iowa and across America by enforcing the rule of law, holding our federal law enforcement accountable, and ensuring criminals illegally in this country face justice.

While nothing can bring Sarah back, we are preserving her memory and honor her with the enactment of Sarah’s Law.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Still selling books From Jim Stalker Creston

A big “Thank You” to Bailey Poolman for featuring my circumstance in the Advertiser’s Senior Living insert. A couple years into retirement and I realized Social Security wasn’t enough to carry my wife and myself through to a comfortable living, what with the ever increasing costs of taxes, insurance, food, medical expenses and all the things that have or will eventually hit us.

When we sold our business and building, running a bookstore was the least of my concerns. Retirement was what we were told to reach for, so we did. A couple years down the line, the expenses began to build up and I needed a part-time job. Since book selling was about the only thing I’d accomplished in my life, it seemed like a natural.

There was one catch. Having sold

my original bookstore, I’d have to start from scratch. Two years had changed everything in the book business. Bookstores nationwide had folded. A new approach was needed. Alex and Reginia Smith has found theirs, reaching a younger crowd and some other things they do. We wish them well as they continue to build their own bookstore.

I’ve always been a little old fashioned. I don’t use the internet to sell books. I only sell books printed on paper and must rely on the people who walk through my door.

It’s imperative they make that effort. Even so, as my store is located inside another store, Thompson’s Shop and Save, it can be a little confusing to find me at 111 N. Maple St. I am, however, just a phone call away at 641-202-4854. It would be nice to see some of my old customers. But again, thank you Bailey and the staff at CNA. If I continue to progress, I’ll be better able to advertise.

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

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg went on a 50-state listening tour seeking to improve FB customer service and guard FB users against trolls and scam artists. A lot of it is common sense. Zuckerberg For instance, do not accept O.J. Simpson as a Facebook friend, it’s a fake offer and he will hack you.

President Trump was ripped

by MSNBC and CNN for his Warsaw speech defending Western Civilization and its values, liberty and culture. They labeled it a defense of white privilege.

Trump might someday leave us for a younger and prettier country, but he’ll never find one with bigger boobs.

President Trump allowed his daughter Ivanka to sit in at a G-20 leaders meeting for him while he met privately with Japan’s leader Saturday. She sat with commanding presence at the table and listened respectfully and spoke with dignity. If she ever shows up her father like that again, she’s out.

North Korea’s dictator Kim Jung Un answered U.S. military maneuvers by launching an ICBM missile that could reach Alaska. Military analysts fear war could break out in August.

This gives President Trump three weeks to put his real estate skills to work and sell Alaska back to the Russians.

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

President Trump backed off his proposal to form an alliance with Russia to block off all cyber-interference after Congress balked. Teaming up with Russia to stop cyber-hacking is like partnering with Bill Cosby to stop sexual assault, or opening with a Lincoln assassination joke. It’s still too soon.

South Carolina secessionists raised the Confederate flag up a makeshift flag pole outside the capitol amid angry protests Monday. A white guy from South Carolina and a black woman from Oklahoma together raised the flag. It’s about as close to an Iwo Jima re-enactment as you’ll ever see.

The Group of 20 Summit signed agreements Saturday to continue making progress in the battle of what they see as climate change. France issued a pledge Monday to have no gas stations in France in 20 years. Within minutes, Germany announced the development of the all-electric tank.

Donald Trump Jr. got the scandal treatment after it was learned he met with a Russian lawyer who said she had dirt on Hillary. In a quarter-century, we’ve learned that having dirt on Hillary is like knowing there’s a mouse in your house that you’ve decided to trap. The mouse has other ideas.

FBI former director Jim Comey came under fire Monday over memos about his White House meetings. He refused to indict Hillary last year after announcing all the indictable charges a month before the election. Comey helped elect Trump president and Trump won’t rest until he’s in jail for it.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions visited Guantanamo Naval Base prison Monday with an eye on filling it back up with terrorists and interrogating them there. President Trump wants to bring back water-boarding, and Trump’s promising that it’ll be the best and finest torture ever. We’ll use Perrier.

The Navy arrested a U.S. sailor in Hawaii Monday for swearing allegiance to ISIS and offering to train ISIS fighters. It’s a shame Islamists in the Middle East don’t worship beer like young men in America do. Nobody’s ever been beheaded, tortured or burned at the stake over their choice of beer.

Senator Bernie Sanders gave a speech Monday vowing to introduce a bill providing Medicare for all in a single-payer program once Democrats defeat the GOP health care bill. Ben and Jerry’s named an ice cream last year after Bernie. It’s $5 for a quart, $600 dollars after taxes.

California Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency over the brushfires that broke out Monday. It doesn’t fool the fire marshal. California taxes are so high, business regulations are so onerous and profit margins are so slim that God’s decided to burn it down for the insurance money.

Alliant Energy customers have more choices for solar and wind energy New product combines renewable energy with smart energy use to minimize environmental impact n

CEDAR RAPIDS – Beyond Solar is a unique solution for Alliant Energy customers in Iowa to become actively involved in their role with energy. This new option combines Iowa solar and wind with tools and incentives for smart energy use. The product will be powered by the state’s largest solar garden, which is under construction in Dubuque. Beyond Solar also includes wind energy from the Hancock County Wind Farm. Additional renewable resources in Iowa communities could be added as Beyond Solar expands. “Many of our customers are looking for simple ways to support local, clean energy projects and reduce their environmental footprint,� said Jeanine Penticoff, vice president of customer engagement and solutions.

“With Iowa’s abundance of wind power and our customers’ interest in supporting solar energy, we’re able to combine these resources into one easy option.�

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A career and technical student in Iowa won one of the nation’s highest awards at the 2017 SkillsUSA Championships, held June 21-22 in Louisville, Kentucky. More than 6,000 students competed at the national showcase of career and technical education. The SkillsUSA Championships is the largest skill competition in the world and covers 1.4 million square feet, equivalent to 20 football fields or 25 acres.

Cory Marquardt of Creston, student at Southwestern Community College, was awarded a Skill Point Certificate in electrical construction wiring. Skill Point Certificates were awarded in 72 occupational and leadership areas to students who met a predetermined threshold score in their competition, as defined by industry. The Skill Point Certificate is a component of SkillsUSA’s assessment program for career and technical education.

Students were invited to the event to demonstrate their technical skills, workplace skills and personal skills in 100 hands-on occupational and leadership competitions including robotics, automotive technology, drafting, criminal justice, aviation maintenance and public speaking. Industry leaders from 600 businesses, corporations, trade associations and unions planned and evaluated the contestants

against their standards for entry-level workers. Industry support of the SkillsUSA Championships is valued at over $36 million in donated time, equipment, cash and material. More than 1,700 industry judges and technical committee members participated this year. “More than 6,000 students from every state in the nation participated in the 2017 SkillsUSA Championships,� said SkillsUSA Executive Director Tim Lawrence. “This showcase of career and technical education demonstrates our SkillsUSA partnership at its finest. Our students, instructors and industry partners work together to ensure

that every student excels. This program expands learning and career opportunities for our members.�

The event is held annually for students in middle school, high school or college and postsecondary programs as part of the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference. More than 300,000 students and advisors join SkillsUSA annually, organized into more than 18,000 sections and 52 state and territorial associations. The national nonprofit partnership of students, instructors and industry is a verified talent pipeline for America’s skilled workforce that is working to help solve the skills gap.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: What is the ingredient that makes the difference between SOFT AND CRISP COOKIES? – Kathleen H., Camp Hill, Pa. Kathleen, high moisture does, as well as baking time, and the temperature must be adjusted to retain moisture.

Binding the water in butter, eggs and brown sugar (which contains molasses, which is 10 percent water) with flour slows its evaporation.

There’s also a little more flour in a soft cookie. Volume also helps cookies stay moist. A large cookie rather than a small spoon-drop cookie usually will be softer.

They’re baked for shorter time periods at a higher temperature. – Heloise ‘EGG-CELLENT’ BREAKFAST IDEA Dear Heloise: I cook two scrambled eggs in a very small skillet to preserve the shape and size. I turn them once to cook on both sides, then I stack them on a saucer, cover and refrigerate.

When ready to serve, I warm them in the microwave on half power and top with diced fresh tomatoes, grated cheese or precooked bacon.

It works well and saves time.

– Lana D., Taylorsville, N.C. Lana, now that’s a clever

way to get breakfast in the morning! – Heloise DELIGHTFUL DIET DEVICE Dear Heloise: To lose weight and not be uncomfortable doing so, I’ve been doing the following: * When filling my plate with high-calorie foods, I say, “A little less rather than a little more.” * To continue filling my plate with vegetables and low-calorie items, I say, “A little more rather than a little less.”

It’s a slow process, but it’s been working for me. – Terry S., Danville, Ky. CREATIVE COFFEE Dear Heloise: My boyfriend loves good coffee, and I’d like to serve him some creative coffees, except that I’m a total klutz in the kitchen. Do you have any ideas or recipes on how to make plain coffee a little more interesting? Please, nothing complicated or where I have to go buy a fancy machine. – Joan E., Maplewood, Minn.

Joan, I have several recipes, but one of my personal favorites is Mocha Coffee: 1/2 cup instant coffee granules 1/2 cup sugar (or equivalent measure using a sugar

SUDOKU

substitute) 1 cup powdered milk or powdered creamer (nonfat creamer also is OK to use) 2 tablespoons cocoa powder Mix the ingredients together and store in a labeled container. Just mix with hot water when ready to use. If you like this recipe, I have several more you can try in my Flavored Coffees and Teas pamphlet. Just go to my website, www.Heloise. com, to order one, or send a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope, along with $3, to Heloise/ Coffees & Teas, P.O. Box795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. There are few things more enjoyable than sipping a warm cup of coffee or tea with friends. It just makes life more enjoyable. – Heloise PREVENT FOOD POISONING Dear Readers: Freezing does not kill bacteria; it only stops their growth. The only thing that will kill bacteria and help to prevent food poisoning is cooking food at high-enough temperatures. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Timberwolves fall ANITA — CAM defeated Southwest Valley, 10-0 in six innings, in a Class 1A District 13 quarterfinal game Tuesday night.

CAM (19-7) advances to a 7 p.m. semifinal game against Nodaway Valley on Thursday in Anita. Southwest Valley ends a 3-20 season. Joey Kernen was the lone senior on coach Kenny Namanny’s team.

Nick Holste had six strikeouts and three walks in a three-hit victory on the mound for the Cougars. Marcus Daugherty had a home run and scored three runs for CAM. Holste and DeShawn Carr each had two hits.

Forfeit loss WOODWARD — A violation of the Iowa High School Athletic Association’s pitch count rule led to a forfeit loss by Interstate 35 Tuesday after the Roadrunners had posted an apparent 11-6 Class 2A District 12 victory over Des Moines Christian.

Elijah Smith had pitched six innings in Saturday’s district win over Clarke. His pitch count required four days rest. Des Moines Christian representatives brought that to the attention of Woodward-Granger athletic director Matt Eichhorn when Smith entered Tuesday’s game, and a call was made to the Iowa High School Athletic Association for a ruling.

Even though there is a limit of pitches per week, and the week resets on Sunday to start a new week, Smith still needed four days rest.

Day-to-day pitches don’t reset at the end of the week.

So, the game is officially listed as a 7-0 forfeit victory for Des Moines Christian, which advances to Saturday’s district championship game against fifth-ranked Woodward-Granger at Woodward.

LENOX — Lenox looked well on its way to a blowout victory in opening round playoff action at home against East Union Tuesday before the Eagles made a run.

What was an 8-0 Lenox lead quickly became 8-7 due to a disastrous third inning.

Lenox ultimately picked up an 18-8 win in five innings, but not before sweating it out.

The win pushed Lenox (19-5) to a date with Earlham (13-16) in the Class 1A District 13 semifinal Thursday in Anita at 5 p.m. The winner of that game will play whoever emerges from the 7 p.m. game on the same night and location between Nodaway Valley and CAM. Lenox continues to hammer the ball, having scored double-digit run totals in seven of its last nine games.

“The batting averages on (Quik Stats Iowa) don’t really show as good hitters as we are because we’ve made such huge strides in the second half of the season,” Lenox coach Tyler Peterson said.

The Tigers had their bats going early, and put on a hitting display with four runs in each the first and second innings.

put up two runs in the third, one on a Jared Hensley RBI single and another on a Kaleb Anderson single that he tomahawked to left field for his third hit of the night.

“They were taking good cuts too. They were hitting them out there a ways,” said Lenox’s Jared Hensley, who finished the night with three hits. “We just had to keep battling. We had some errors, we had some passed balls. You just have to bounce back from that, keep your mind straight and focus on what your goal is.”

Lenox added three more in the fourth.

Colton Gordon pushed

home a run with a bases loaded bunt squeeze play.

Two more scored on heads up baserunning when the next batter, Hensley, hit a fielder’s choice ground out at second base and two runners came all the way around to score.

Lenox put five more runs up in the fourth to end it.

“At this point in the season nobody gives up and they didn’t either,” Peterson said. “I was glad we were able to respond the way that we did.”

Warhawks squeak by Mustangs, 2-0 n Murray’s

Boles fans 13 before reaching pitch limit

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

MILO — The drama that unfolded here Tuesday was not whether Southeast Warren’s 19-6 baseball team would eventually solve Murray pitcher Kenny Boles.

There was no indication of that happening as the senior lefthander mowed down the Warhawks to the tune of 13 strikeouts and two hits in a scoreless deadlock through five innings.

The suspense centered on

Chariton rallies for 5-4 victory

the Iowa High School Athletic Association’s new pitch count rule designed for players’ safety, which scrapped the old limit of a certain number of innings per day and per week.

While Boles was racking up the strikeouts, he was also pushing his pitch total toward the 110-pitch l i m i t Boles for upperclassmen in one day.

Through five innings he had 13 strikeouts, three walks and two hits allowed — which required 93 pitches.

At that point, Southeast Warren coach Cody Reynolds had his batters show patience at the plate, to force Murray’s hand in a required pitching change.

“Yeah, we kind of knew that he was nearing it and we wanted the guys to work the count a little bit,” Reynolds said. “Hats off to their pitcher. He mixed it up well and worked us inside-out.

He finally started struggling a little bit in the sixth.”

There was a southerly breeze, but the 94-degree heat was taking its toll on Boles as he labored toward the pitch limit in the sixth.

He gave up a walk, a popout, single and another base MURRAY | 8A

CHARITON — Chariton used an unconventional rally with two outs to overtake Creston in the bottom of the seventh inning Tuesday.

A bloop hit to right field by Jackson Fisher and a hit batter with the bases loaded gave the Chargers a 5-4 victory in the regular-season finale for both teams. The Panthers led 4-3 going into the inning and senior pitcher Kadon Hulett entered the game for the save on the mound.

“It was looking good until that bloop single to tie it, and then it was a scramble,” Creston coach Steve Birchard said.

Jaden Driskell and Brenden McDowell pitched the first six innings for the P a n - Driskell thers, who scored a run in the sixth inning to take a 4-3 lead. Dustin Merritt had two RBIs on a sacrifice fly and b a s es-loaded walk.

Driskell and B e a u Barnc a s t l e Barncastle e a c h had two hits.

Hulett’s seventh-inning mound stint started harmlessly enough with a lineout to second base. A popout in the infield followed a single and a wild pitch.

With the tying run on second and two outs, Birchard elected to intentionally walk Kobey Riechmann, who already had three hits in the game. That would set up a force out at any base

but home for the final out.

Fisher, who had homered earlier in the game, dropped an RBI hit into shallow right field for the tying run. With runners on second and third, Birchard again elected to put the batter on first to set up a force at any base.

However, w i t h a 2-1 count, the next pitch hit Quentyn Pen- Birchard nington to send home the winning run.

“We just didn’t get it done,” Birchard said.

“We left 11 guys stranded on base. Last night we got timely hits at the end, but not tonight. We had some baserunning things that will have to be better Friday. Hopefully we can come back and eliminate some of those mistakes and do the things that we can do. Kadon will throw.”

UP NEXT — Creston opens Class 3A District 16 play at 5 p.m. Friday at Glenwood against Atlantic, which owns 5-4 and 16-0 victories over the Panthers this season.

Junior varsity Creston’s junior varsity capped an 8-11 season with a 15-7 victory over Chariton in four innings.

Jack Frey pitched a complete game for the Panthers. Nathan Pudenz was 2-for-3 with three RBIs for Creston.

Hunter Fry was 3-for-3 and Rylan Luther ended up 2-for-3.

on balls as he reached the limit. The single by Bryce Hall drove in the game’s first run. The other run scored on a wild pitch after Boles left the game.

Reece Held came in to get the final two outs of the sixth inning, and the Warhawks’ 2-0 lead proved to be safe as Hall finished out his win in relief of starter Alec Henderson. Hall is Southeast Warren’s ace with a 5-2 record and 44 innings pitched with 48 strikeouts.

He had six strikeouts in three innings Tuesday. “I didn’t want to have to use him tonight,� Reynolds said, “but he will still be eligible to pitch on Thursday. He threw 35 pitches tonight.�

The Warhawks, now 206, face Madrid in a Class 1A District 12 semifinal game at 5 p.m. Thursday at St. Marys, prior to the Martensdale-St. Marys game against Iowa Christian Academy, which won the opener at Milo Tuesday night, 5-4, over Seymour.

Murray finishes at 8-16, but assistant coach Taylor Fulton — head coach Tucker Guion was away on business required for his job — said the hardfought game was a memorable experience Tuesday night. “This was an awesome game to be a part of,�

Fulton said. “Kenny was absolutely on tonight. He inspired the kids around

him. Whenever he’s on the mound, the other guys have that little bit of extra confidence. They know they have a shot. I love seeing kids rise to the occasion like that.�

Early in the game Murray batters were making more contact against Henderson than the Warhawk batters were having against Boles. The only outs that were not strikeouts during the first five innings came on a ground ball resulting in an unassisted putout by first baseman Jimmy Graham in the second inning, and a throw

by Held as the catcher to Zane Black covering second base on a stolen base attempt by Hall in Southeast Warren’s Colby Page in the third inning.

Page broke up Boles’ no-hit bid with that third-inning single. The only other Southeast Warren hit against Boles in the first five innings was a two-out single by designated hitter Brock Kyner in the fifth.

Murray outhit the Warhawks 7-3, but left six runners on base. “We were putting the ball in play,� Fulton said. “We hit the ball, we just couldn’t string enough hits together in a row.

We were leaving guys on base. We have to start rallying before we get to two outs.�

Graham finished with two hits for Murray.

Heat helped Boles, falling to 4-5 for the season, said the steamy conditions helped him early in the game, but

left him a little drained as he reached the pitch limit. “I felt really good,�

Boles said. “I think the heat actually helped keep my arm warm. I was probably throwing the hardest I’ve ever thrown. At the end, though, in this weather, I was exhausted. We were hitting that first kid they had, but we couldn’t get the bats going before we had two outs.�

Boles, Black, D u s t i n Black T e a s , Quentin Siefkas and Owen Tracy are seniors who played their last game for the Mustangs Tuesday night. “It’s been great being a part of it this year,� Fulton said. “This is a great group of guys. Those seniors were good leaders for us. We really started to hit our stride at the end of the season. We really came together as a team.�

Boles is enrolled at Southwestern Community College for the fall semester, but said he’s still considering baseball and basketball opportunities, including at SWCC.

middle off of East Union relief pitcher Joshua Hardy to score a run.

Brenden Christensen’s well-hit base knock to center field chased home two more runs to force East Union coach Dave Campbell to switch to Trevor Jones on the mound.

However, the Tigers quickly pushed two more

runs across to meet the 10run mercy rule. “We came here to give them a game. We didn’t want want to come here and just roll over in three innings, five innings, whatever,� East Union coach Dave Campbell said. “It ended up being five, but we didn’t want it to be a quick game.

You know, a 15-run game, get off the bus, get back on the bus and go home everybody’s disappointed.�

Vandewater came to the plate.

Vandewater yanked a pitch deep to left field and just over the fence to the ecstatic reaction of the Wolverine dugout to give Nodaway Valley a 5-1 lead.

“That couldn’t have gone out. But apparently it did. I just figured it’d be a double maybe a triple,” Vandewater said. “Someone says it bounced off the top of the fence and then went out. Just a lucky bounce I guess.”

The moment turned the game in the Wolverines favor.

“I think they got the momentum, I think we got a little bit of flashbacks from last year,” Orient-Macksburg coach Drew Dornack said, referring to a go-ahead grand slam hit by Nodaway Valley’s Ryan Jensen in last season’s postseason game in Lenox.

The Wolverines added on with a double by Brandon Mangles and a throwing error by Bulldog relief pitcher Dylan Nichols to go up 7-1.

Orient-Macksburg got a run back in the third, but Nodaway Valley put three more runs on the board in the bottom half.

More Bulldog mistakes and a Spencer Lamb sac fly pushed the lead to 10-2.

Orient-Macksburg, despite a collection of mental mistakes and walks issued by its pitching staff, battled back with its bats in the fourth.

Owen Henlsey and Keaton Eslinger contributed an RBI each in the fourth on singles and Triston Davidson’s RBI fielder’s choice groundout scored another to pull O-M within five.

Nodaway Valley exploded in the bottom of the fourth

and was the beneficiary of numerous Bulldog mistakes.

The Wolverines posted 10 more runs to walk away with the victory.

Brady Hilpipre’s two-run triple to the left field corner started the scoring and Nodaway Valley steamed ahead from there.

Hilpipre was 2-for-4 with a double, triple and four RBIs. Beau Weinheimer added a 2-for-2 day with three runs scored and three walks.

The Wolverines walked 10 times in all, as six Wolverines scored at least two times.

“I hope we can bring these bats into CAM and our good day of fielding,” Vandewater said. “Hopefully we can get CAM on Thursday.”

Brandon Mangles picked up the win while striking out five and allowed seven hits and one walk.

Orient-Macksburg loses six seniors in Jackson Mikkelsen, Dylan Nichols, Davidson, Eslinger, Carson Wheat and Hensley.

“They’re good kids. You spend so much time with them. You watch them grow up and you watch them work,” Dornack said. “Three of those guys were everyday starters since eighth grade.

You watch and you know what they can do and that’s the tough thing. You don’t ever plan for them to be done. Just build bonds, you get to know their families.

That’s the part that sucks, is saying goodbye to them.”

Orient-Macksburg finishes its season 7-16.
