$600K project planned at SWCC

By KELSEY HAUGEN affect all CNA associate editor khaugen@crestonnews.com

A bid of $611,180 was approved for the construction project in room 220 of the instructional building at Southwestern Community College (SWCC) during a board meeting Tuesday.

This project is a result of recent renovations in the 200-bay hallway of the building, during which asbestos was found in the ceiling material, causing SWCC to bring in a company to abate and then clean the whole area affected.

The plan is to get room 220, which is a 250-seat auditorium, back to usable condition, which involves replacing the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) units.

The project has begun and is estimated to be complete Sept. 28. The work will be done by Camblin Mechanical out of Atlantic.

“This is taking original HVAC units from 1970 – there’s nine of them – we’ll be replacing those with five current HVAC systems,” said Tom Lesan, SWCC vice president of economic development. “So, they’ll be a lot more efficient and will

of (room) 220, the northeast commons, part of the library and all of the Lesan mezzanine upstairs. We’ll be air conditioning and heating all of that area with those five units rather than the current nine.”

The project will also improve safety for SWCC employees and anyone who comes out to service the new HVAC units.

“We’ve had a safety issue there, and we’ve known that for some time,” Lesan said.

“This is actually going build a 10 foot by 20 foot catwalk suspended from the ceiling and out from the wall. All the (HVAC) units will be suspended from the ceiling around that catwalk. ... It will be a lot safer for employees.”

The work in room 220 will not affect instruction, said Bill Taylor, SWCC vice president of instruction.

“The room was out of commission all last year,” Taylor said. “We don’t use it for any normal classrooms; we do use it for when we

have speakers come in for students. But, we’ve been using the Allied Health auditorium, and it’s been working just fine for us.”

Building in Leon The board also approved a new building partnership contract with Decatur County Development Corporation.

For the past 10 years or so, Clarke Community High School and Central Decatur High School students in SWCC’s high school career academy program have together built a house in Osceola. The last time the students built a house in Leon was in 2006-07.

High school juniors and seniors who participate in the building program can earn up to 30 college credits in two years to earn a one-year carpentry diploma. Then, those students have the option of attending SWCC for one more year after high school to earn an associate’s degree.

This fall, SWCC will partner with Decatur County Development Corporation, instead of Clarke County Development Corporation, for the students to build a house in Leon rather than SWCC | 2A

Law enforcement, activists to meet with Obama at White House WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will quickly return to the delicate balancing act of supporting law enforcement while addressing concerns of bias from some of the communities they serve.

Obama is meeting Wednesday with police officers at the White House — the second such session

this week. This time it will be expanded to include mayors, academics and civil rights activists.

“We’ll share solutions from communities that have already found ways to build trust and reduce disparities,” Obama said on Facebook.

Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met with representatives from eight

police organizations Monday before flying the next day to Dallas to lead a memorial for five police officers killed by a suspect who said he wanted to kill whites, particularly white officers. The officers were working at rally in which protesters gathered to voice complaints about the OBAMA | 2A

Deaths Billie Jean Barker Lenox

Funeral celebration of life services for Billie Jean Barker, 76, who passed away unexpectedly at her home Sunday, July 10, 2016, will be held 10 a.m.

Thursday, July 14, at Lenox U n i t e d Barker Methodist Church. Visitation will be held at the Lenox Community Center from 2 to 7 p.m.

Wednesday, July 13, with family greeting friends from 5 to 7 p.m. Interment will be held in North Fairview Cemetery in Lenox. Instead of flowers, the family requests memorials be given in Billie Jean’s name. Memories may be left at www.ritchiefuneralhome.com. Arrangements were entrusted to the Ritchie Funeral Home, 124 S. Main St., in Lenox.

Billie Jean was the youngest of Wilma (Woods) and Evan Brannon’s three children. She was born Aug. 24, 1939, on a farm north of Lenox. Billie Jean began elementary school in Rich Hill, Missouri. Her family moved to Diagonal in 1950, where she continued her schooling through her sophomore year of high school. The Brannon family eventually settled in Lenox, and Billie Jean finished her final two years of school at Lenox High School, graduating with the class of 1957. She then headed to Des Moines for her first job opportunity.

Billie Jean first caught Lonnie’s eye at a Lenox High School basketball game in the old gymnasium when he was home from college for the weekend. She was looking mighty fine in a snazzy red sweater, and he knew right then and there, he would have to get in contact with that gal in the red sweater. After an initial stumble, the romance grew, and on Flag Day, June 14, 1958, Lonnie proposed.

To his surprise, Billie accepted the proposal by saying, “Yes - and I don’t believe in long engagements. Do you?”

The couple married on Oct. 4 - less than four months after Lonnie’s proposal.

The happy couple welcomed their first child, Lahni Jean (1960), followed by Todd Brannon (1962) and Lisa Ann (1966). Billie Jean was a stay-at-home mom while her children were young and eventually began helping Lonnie by keeping the books for the family business, Barker Implement. She continued to work alongside her husband until they both retired in 2015.

Billie Jean was an incredible cook and was famous for her ability to put together “awesome” meals at the spur of the moment for friends and sometimes extra guests brought to the house

Caring

by Lonnie, her kids and even her grandkids. One of the favorite traditions she shared with her grandkids and their friends when they reached high school age was the “Friday Morning Breakfast Club.” BJ and Lonnie were like a second set of grandparents to their grandkids’ friends, always making them feel right at home. They would all meet at Grandma’s house at 7:30 a.m. and be treated to a special breakfast before heading off to school. Holiday gatherings were always looked forward to as she always prepared the traditional meal with turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and scalloped corn.

Grandma BJ’s homemade pizza became everyone’s family favorite, especially the Saturday night before Easter. Everyone will tell you that she made the best homemade pizza crust in the world, which she learned from her brother, Donn. She never told us exactly how she made it or let any of us to help her prepare it. We suspect that she didn’t use a set recipe, but somehow her crust turned out perfect every single time. And we can’t forget Grandma’s best-ever chili.

BJ was also a talented artist and enjoyed drawing, painting and using her creative skills on anything from costumes to birthday party favors to floats for the Rodeo Parade. She enjoyed her flower beds and vegetable garden, later canning and freezing her harvest to share with others. She also enjoyed sewing, making prom dresses (which she may be hemming a few minutes before the date arrived), bridesmaid dresses and she even sewed her own wedding dress. She also made beautiful baby quilts for each of her grandchildren.

Her church and her community were very important to Billie Jean. She served as the Lenox Methodist Church choir director for many years, and she and Marilyn Beck sang at over 200 funerals. She was also very active in the Methodist Church Women’s Circle.

4-H was a big part of her life, as she was a 4-H leader for 20 years. She and Lonnie were big supporters of Taylor County 4-H’ers over the years. They served on the Taylor County Extension Council and were instrumental in raising funds for constructing the “Red Barn” for the fairgrounds.

She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary, Lenox Library Board and the Park and Pool Board.

One job they particularly enjoyed for more than 15 years was spreading cheer as Santa and Mrs. Claus during the carnival and lighting ceremony kicking off the holiday season.

They also continued to be great supporters of our high school fine arts and athletic programs, even after their own children and grandchil-

dren had graduated. She and Lonnie were rewarded the Lenox Boosters Award in 2005 and the Lenox Citizen of the year award in 2016 honoring support they have given through the years.

In 1972, she and Lonnie sang with the “Lentennialaires” to promote Lenox’s upcoming Centennial Celebration and performed all over southwest Iowa. They also enjoyed playing cards on Sunday night for more than 50 years with a group of great friends.

Most important to Billie Jean was her family. She was fiercely proud of each of her children and grandchildren and was very supportive of their activities. She and Lonnie rarely missed any of the kids’ events – their calendar was filled with band and vocal concerts, dance recitals, speech contests, school plays and athletic events.

Billie’s marriage to Lonnie was rock-solid; they truly enjoyed each other’s company, sweethearts to the end. They were blessed to have 57 years together.

Billie Jean was preceded in death by her parents, Evan and Wilma Brannon; sister Beverly Hanes; brother-inlaw Kenneth Hanes; brother-in-law Elvis Mendenhall; infant grandsons, Michael and Jordan Robinson; nephew Tony Hanes and nieces; Donita Evans, Penny (Hanes) Helland and Sherri (Barker) Daun.

She is survived by her husband Lonnie; daughter Lahni Jean (Pat) Robinson of Lenox; son Todd (Meg) Barker of Lenox; daughter Lisa (Rod) Maharry of Des Moines; brother Donald (Deborra) Brannon of Weed, California; sistersand brothers-in-law, Elene (Duane) Heeren of Huxley, Justine Mendenhall of Prescott, Arizona, Kevin (Millie) Barker of Lenox and William (Becky) Barker of Creston; 11 grandchildren, Jared (Kristen) Robinson of Lenox, Dara (Kellen) Sherburne of Des Moines, Seth (Anne) Robinson of Waukee, Nathan Barker of Smithville, Missouri, Drew Barker of Humboldt, Brenna Robinson of Des Moines, Morgan, Colton and Cade Maharry of Des Moines, Katie Barker of Ames and Sydney Barker of Ames; great-grandchild Reid Sherburne; 14 nieces and nephews and the many friends, young and old, who were such an important part of her life.

Billie Jean will be remembered for her ready smile, her quick wit, and for being sassy, classy and a bit stubborn all at the same time!

Most of all, she will be remembered for her generosity and for how she was always caring for others.

She will be dearly missed, not only by her family and close friends, but by all those in the Lenox community young and old - whose lives she touched.

On June 26, 1953, Don married Sodie Mae White in Chariton. They settled in Chariton where Don was an auto mechanic. Later, they moved to Des Moines and back to Chariton until 1967, when they moved to Afton where he began working for Ray Davis Pontiac in Cres-

because of enrollment and because we haven’t built a house there in a while.”

Of the roughly 22 stu- Taylor dents enrolled the upcoming year, the majority are Central Decatur students.

“This might be a way to appease that community as well and help the housing market out, (while) getting some students educated,”

Taylor said.

The new 1,000- to 1,200-square-foot house will be at 207 NW Sixth St. in Leon. It will be funded by Decatur County Development.

The board also approved the employment of Ron Utley, SWCC carpentry and building trades instructor, whose primary responsibility will be leading this annual high school building project in Leon and Osceola. Utley replaces Charlie Mundy, former carpentry and building trades instructor and sports shooting coach.

Biden told CNN after Monday’s meeting that a couple of the police groups at the meeting voiced some displeasure with the president while others told him he was “doing it just right” with his comments. Biden did not offer detail about the complaints, but said Obama stressed how he has repeatedly voiced support for law enforcement and offered to send critics a list of when he has done so.

Biden said Obama asked the police officials at the meeting: “Fellas, what do

you think I’m not doing?

What have you not heard me say?”

Biden also said some of the police organizations voiced concerns for the safety of their members. “It’s the first time I’ve ever heard police organizations say, ‘My guys are frightened,’ “ Biden said.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the president is hoping to push the conversations toward concrete actions that the government and communities can take.

“It’s two-fold. We’ve built for nearly 10 years in Osceola, and Central Decatur, Leon, we have not built a house there for, well, 10 years now, so it’s probably their turn,” Taylor said.

“We’d like to get to a point where maybe we alternate – build one in Leon, one in Osceola every other year or maybe two years. Next year, we’re going to go with Decatur County Development

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, July 13, 2016

‘A Sunday with Matilda’ In recent weeks, it has been my pleasure to update area civic groups on the development of the Creston Area Library and Cultural Center, and the manifold statements of support we have since received are gratifying and inspiring. On behalf of our library board, I am excited to invite our patrons and friends to join the cause and spend the afternoon of Sunday, Aug. 7, with Matilda.

From 4 to 6:30 p.m. at Gibson Memorial Library, we’ll kick off our capital campaign, and Matilda is hosting quite a party. We’ll have two live bands, tattoos and face-painting, artists at work, a silent auction, my own history of our library, some tasty food, and to quote an old, old song, there will be an “old spinning wheel in the parlor.”

This will be an exceptional event. First of all, it’s on a Sun-

David Hargrove Director

Gibson Memorial Library

day, a day on which we do not ordinarily open our doors. I won’t say our mission will be sacred, but it will most certainly be special. Second, it will be your best opportunity to date to show your support for the Creston Public Library with a $15,000 matching gift in the wings, your donations will get extra bang for your buck, and get us off to a good start at meeting our goals to raise $1.9 million dollars locally.

Did you know that we are the only public library in Union County? By keeping our patrons connected to the world around them with our public computers and wireless internet access,

we enable them to remain in the workforce and perform other tasks that insure their quality of life and the vitality of our community. Our ability to serve the community is, however, severely hampered by a lack of space.

With more than 3,000 school age children in our service area, we are only able to serve about 30 at a time. As a result, school groups are deprived of the opportunity to experience our library. Recently, we have hosted local history presentations in our genealogy room, and with just 25 attendees, the room was full.

Without meeting rooms for large or small groups, we are unable to meet community needs in ways that public libraries ordinarily do, and if you’ve browsed our shelves lately, you know that we have run out of room for new materials.

The good news is that your library board and over a dozen influential civic organizations are backing a plan that doubles the size of our library at its current location. The plan restores our grand east entrance, and is a beautiful architectural bookend to our library as it stands today.

If anything, past attempts to expand the library or move it elsewhere have shown the tremendous loyalty to our current location. In recognition of that, our library board has wisely chosen to build on the legacy of the Matilda J. Gibson Memorial Library and create a beacon for area arts, but we need our friends and patrons to help us reach our goal.

Over the past year, I have met a great many fine folks here in southwest Iowa who are passionate about our library, and who

are eager to see the community restore it as a central point of civic pride – just as it was when we opened our doors April 7, 1931.

So come to the library Sunday, Aug. 7, and let me entertain you with details that I’ll bet you don’t know about the Creston area and our library’s origins.

I’ll be inside, but the big fun and fellowship will be outside.

Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share your passion for the Creston area and our public library. You’ll hear much more about it in the days to come, but I didn’t want to pass up a chance to extend a heartfelt invitation to all our patrons and friends to join us at the library on the first Sunday in August, so save the date. The library board has a great vision to build on Matilda’s legacy, so let’s join together and make it happen.

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

The Commission on Presidential Debates announced the schedule for this year’s presidential debates on Tuesday.

The big surprise is that the final debate will be held in Las Vegas.

Under the agreed-on format, Hillary and Trump will debate for 90 minutes and then Elvis will marry them.

The GOP platform committee met in Cleveland Monday to write the platform for this election year. They passed a plank calling porn a menace to public health. However, if you go to Porn Hub and scroll down, you can find a doctor or a nurse right away who can help restore you to health.

The L.A. City Council passed a Cool Roofs law requiring new roofs to be painted white, beige, orange-red or tan. Reaction was political. Donald Trump just claimed to be the only candidate compliant with the L.A. Building Code, but you can guess the angry reaction from Black Roofs Matter.

The Bahamas government issued a travel advisory Monday for its citizens who are planning to travel to the U.S. The warnings are for the threat of being interrogated, humiliated, and personally violated. However, we are a free country and if you want to apply to be a Fox News host it’s up to you.

Fox News chief Roger Ailes was hit by six more sex harassment charges following the lawsuit by Gretchen Carlson. He’s a

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

TV pioneer. Roger Ailes invented the practice of hiring cable news TV hosts who are beautiful young women with blonde hair, law degrees and unresolved daddy issues.

The Republican Party platform committee began meeting in Cleveland Monday to hammer out its campaign policies. Critics say the committee is over-represented by the conservative Religious Right. You might be too religious if you’ll only have sex in the missionary position, with a missionary.

USA Today reports three Americans were injured when they were trampled while participating in the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona. Man versus beast is the next hot sport. Most Americans cannot wait to see who will win the 100-yard dash from a Zika Mosquito in the Rio Olympics.

George W. Bush began dancing onstage during the singing of the Battle Hymn of the Republic at the end of the Dallas police funeral Tuesday. It was the Union victory song in the Civil War. It was a grim reminder to the Texans in the crowd that the Bushes are carpetbaggers from Connecticut.

Lamar Odom was kicked off an LA-to-NY Delta flight drunk Monday after he threw up in the airplane restroom twice before

takeoff. He’d been seen pounding down whiskey and beer in the airport lounge before boarding. Since retiring from the NBA, he’s been training to be an airline pilot.

President Obama launched into a defense of the Black Lives Matter protests during his speech at the Dallas memorial service. He tends to turn everything into a teachable civil rights moment. A journalist recently asked Obama to name his favorite movie comedy, and replied Selma and Louise.

GOP convention platform committee delegates on Tuesday passed a platform plank calling for a wall to be built on the Mexican border. Support for it is waning. If San Bernardino, Orlando and Dallas have taught us anything, it’s that the problem with a wall is that it keeps some people here.

House Speaker Paul Ryan requested that Hillary Clinton be blocked from receiving classified intelligence briefings Tuesday. His request was refused.

Hilary could be impeached before she’s even elected, showing how much better a woman has to be than her husband in order to get equal credit.

Donald Trump speaking to a crowd in Raleigh, North Carolina, last week repeated his promise that if elected president, the U.S. will resume water-boarding terror suspects for information.

His enthusiasm is contagious.

He vowed it will be the best torture ever, promising that we will use Perrier.

Union County Deputy Recorder Katie Carlton was recently honored for completing a certification program for Iowa C o u n t y Carlton Recorders and Deputy Recorders.

The Iowa County Recorders Association recognized 19 graduates of the program at a ceremony held Wednesday, June 22. The graduation event occurred in conjunction with the Iowa County Recorders Association’s summer school

at Honey Creek Resort in Moravia. Nineteen recorders received certificates and pins for completing the program.

The Iowa County Recorder Certification program provides Iowa County Recorders and Deputy Recorders with the opportunity to learn how to effectively and professionally fulfill their elected duties and to better serve their communities. It was created by the Iowa County Recorders Association with the assistance of personnel from the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach office. Participants in the program must complete 30 credit hours of

training, including 21 core credits and nine elective credits. The areas covered in the program are leadership and ethics, open meetings and open records, communications, human resources and office management, the Iowa Code, technology applications and local government and budgets.

County Recorders and Deputy Recorders who become certified must complete continuing education classes to retain their certification. The completion of the program is a testimony to the dedication these graduates have to providing excellence in public service.

Do caps make the grade?

Dear Heloise: I have an inexpensive package of CLEAR PLASTIC PROCESSING CAPS, used in hair salons. Can I also use these elasticized caps in the kitchen as bowl covers for food storage and/or microwaving? – Doris in Fullerton, Calif.

Doris, you can use them to cover food. However, technically they are not food grade the way plastic wrap is.

Food storage is fine, but DO NOT use them in the microwave. Use a paper towel or paper plate. – Heloise LETTUCE WRAPS Dear Heloise: My husband and I are trying to lose a few pounds. When we make sandwiches, we don’t use bread, but we make our own lettuce wraps!

You can put any type of salad (egg, tuna or chicken) in a wrap. They also are good with your favorite cut of meat, cheese, chopped tomato, onion, etc., and salad dressing.

I made all the taco fixings to go with taco meat, and we had “taco wraps” for dinner. – Kay C. in San Antonio MILK SUBSTITUTION Dear Heloise: Some rec-

Hints from Heloise ipes call for whole milk. If I have only 1 percent milk on hand, plus some whipping cream, can I substitute some cream for the 1 percent I have and thus create whole milk? If so, how much do I use? – Donna S. in Montana Well, Donna, I’m not sure about using whipping cream, but it’s worth a try.

A lot depends on the recipe and what you are cooking/ baking. General wisdom suggests to combine 1 cup of skim milk with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Or mix 1/2 cup of evaporated milk with 1/2 cup of water.

Heloise’s Seasonings, Sauces and Substitutes pamphlet is filled with hints and recipes.

To order, visit www.Heloise. com, or send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (68 cents) envelope to: Heloise/ SSS, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. If you cook or bake a lot, it’s worth having some staples on hand. My must-have list

Panthers rally past Rams, earn second straight state trip

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

“We never give up.”

Those were the words of several Creston seniors in celebrating the Panthers 3-2 win over Glenwood in the Class 4A Region 8 final Tuesday at Panther Field.

The win pushed Creston forward to its second straight state appearance next week in Fort Dodge.

Creston, 24-11, will take on Fairfield, 27-11, at the Rodgers Sports Complex in Fort Dodge on Tuesday, July 19 at 5:30 p.m.

Heading into the top of the fifth, Taylor Briley had the lone two hits for the Panthers. Alyssa Higgins and Jami Sickels popped out to put two quick outs on the board for Glenwood’s Mackenzie Richter. Richter was breezing along at this point in the game.

“We’re not going to quit.

We’re going to claw, and fight you until the very end...” Creston coach Mike McCabe said. “We’re scrappy, we’re gritty... I’ll take that any time.”

Saige Rice, the hero of Creston’s 3-1 upset of second-ranked Winterset in the regional semifinal, had one of the biggest at-bats of the game with two outs.

Faced against a pitcher who had been working ahead in the count all night, Rice worked a walk. Chloe Hagle followed with a walk of her own and Kiersten Latham came on as a courtesy runner.

“There’s so many opportunities where we should be walked and we’re swinging at bad pitches and popping them up or hitting them on the ground and right at people...” Josie Sickels said.

“Getting walks is a big deal even if it doesn’t seem like it is, it is.”

Sickels — who admitted afterwards that she had struggled at the plate as of late — came through in a big way. She singled through the left side of the infield to score Rice from second. Sickels moved to second on the throw home, and Latham took third.

“We never give up. We never give up,” Sickels said.

The next at-bat may have been the biggest of the season for the Panthers.

With Creston down 2-1, Shelby Palser worked to a 2-2 count with a foul ball.

The Creston crowd had worked itself into a frenzy.

McCabe noticed Palser’s nerves and called a timeout to talk to her.

Palser stepped back into the box, full of confidence, and ripped the go-ahead single up the middle to score Latham and Sickels and sent the Panther Field faithful into an uproar.

“I saw that she was trying CRESTON | 8A

Creston softball players dogpile at first base after the final out of Tuesday’s 3-2 win over Glenwood.

Chargers build early lead in 10-6 win over Panthers groundout.

By LARRY PETERSON team — entering district play both teams scored three runs at 7 p.m. against the 17-12 Barncastle Chariton 10, Creston 6 CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

An early 5-0 deficit proved too much to make up for the Creston baseball team in a 10-6 loss to Chariton Tuesday.

It was the last game of the regular season for Creston, 15-15, and Little League recognition night was held prior to the game. It’s also already the most wins by a Creston

Friday — since the 2007 state tournament team that posted 18 victories.

The Panthers were hitless until Cody Crawford’s double in the fourth inning Tuesday as winning pitcher Riley Walters was effective early.

Walters also helped himself at the plate by going 4-of-4 with a double and two RBI. Chariton, now 16-15, led 5-0 after the top of the fourth, and 6-1 through five innings.

in the sixth. Creston scored twice in the seventh and the game ended when Brenden McDowell’s liner was caught on a diving play by the Charger shortstop with runners aboard.

“We just couldn’t keep up,” said Creston coach Steve Birchard. “It makes it tough when you spot them five.”

to get ahead early and she was struggling a lot, so she had walked a few people. So I just thought ‘I have to be patient but if I see my pitch I have to drive it and hit it where it’s pitched and just get the two people in that we needed.’ “ Briley had a lead to work with going into the bottom of the fifth. She allowed a hit but no runs in the frame.

Richter and Erin Stanley reacted positively for Glenwood in the sixth. Both singled. Creston caught a break when a bunted ball off the bat of Emma Ringsdorf bounced off her knee outside the batter’s box which resulted in an out. Briley set down Brooklyn Taylor next.

Brielle Smith then laid into a pitch that left every person at Panther Field holding their breath. After a long foul ball, Smith hit one just as far into fair territory. The dauntingly high fly ball drifted all the way back to the fence in left field, but Jami Sickels caught it with her back against the fence to end the inning.

After Creston went quietly in the top of the seventh, Glenwood had the task of having the last at-bat.

At the top of the lineup, Molly Dean popped out to Alyssa Higgins in foul territory.

Sara Ingoldsby singled and stole second with Myranda Starner at the plate.

Starner then singled to center as Ingoldsby barely beat the throw from Josie Sickels from center to third. Starner cruised into second on the throw.

McCabe went out to the mound to calm his team after the hit, calling everyone in, outfielders included, to relax them. After breaking the huddle, the weight of the moment still hung heavily in the faces of the Panthers.

Briley dug in and displayed the grittiness that has come to exemplify this Creston team.

VanNess popped up to Briley for the second out.

With every soul at the ballpark on the edge of their seats, Richter came to the plate with a chance to give Glenwood its first summer state appearance in school history. The Rams’ only softball appearance was in the 1970 fall state tournament.

Richter hit a sharp ground ball to Thomsen at first, who smothered it, reached over with her glove and the ball and touched first base.

The Panther swarm came for her for the second straight game as the team came together in one massive dog pile to celebrate their second straight appearance at state. “ ‘Thank God’ was definitely what we were thinking,” Jami Sickels said.

“I can’t even describe it,” Briley said. “It was crazy because it was such a close game and... I just saw Alli’s

face light up and it hit me, I was like ‘oh my God, we’re going to state again,’ so it was definitely a great feeling.’ “ The Panthers fell behind 2-0 in the first inning. Glenwood won the coin toss to be the home team. Consecutive hits from Ingoldsby, a double, Starner, a single, and Lyndie VanNess, another double, accounted for two early runs for the Rams.

The energy coming from the Glenwood dugout was something that the Panthers did not match until late in the game.

Despite the early production, both teams struggled to find an offensive footing in the middle innings.

The fifth inning just proved to be the turning point, even though Glenwood took its best shot in each of the last three innings.

A recurring theme in the thoughts of the Panthers is the gritty nature of the team.

The squad feels underestimated.

“No one really, I think, believed in us this year. I think everybody thought we’d be downhill because we lost our best pitcher (Haylee LaMasters) and our best catcher (Natalie Mostek).”

McCabe felt similarly.

“I don’t think anybody thought we’d probably be here tonight, let alone going next week. They (Creston) just have a mentality that they’re not going to quit.”

And Lexie Little? She of course, had similar thoughts.

“Last year we felt like it was our last year to go, last chance,” she said.

“It’s even better this year just because no one believed, I don’t think, except for us.”

The Conservation Station is coming to Union County Fair The mobile learning station will stop at the Union County Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 26.

■

AMES – Water Rocks! and Iowa Learning Farms present the Conservation Station – a mobile learning center that educates audiences of all ages about the importance of healthy soil and clean water. It will be stopping by from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 26, at the Union County Fair.

Visitors to the Conservation Station can learn how everyone can do their part to help preserve and protect soil and water – essential natural resources. The free, fun, hands-on activities and demonstrations for kids and adults teach about watersheds and the effects of rainfall on the land. A popular activity is the “Poo Toss” where participants try to

throw rubber doggy poo into wastebaskets for prizes and learn why picking up animal waste is a good thing.

The Conservation Station’s rainfall simulator offers a strong visual of how land management choices affect soil and water. It demonstrates the effects of rainfall on different surfaces in agricultural and urban environments.

Water runoff and subsurface drainage are collected in clear jars to show what is coming off the various soil surface types including tilled soil, cover crops, green roofs and pervious pavement.

Since 2010, the Conservation Station has traveled to every county in Iowa for community festivals, county fairs, field days, farmers markets and school visits. Visit the Water Rocks! website to see the schedule of Conservation Station appearances and to request a visit for an event at www.waterrocks.org. T:5”
