Former Creston High School teacher and avid craftsman, Dennis Kuyper, has adopted a favorite pastime of his late wife, Barb, as his own by continuing several of her sewing and quilting projects.

“It’s sentimental and also rewarding at the same time,” Dennis said of the hobby that has become an important part of his leisure time since his wife’s passing in late December 2014. “I’m trying to go through and just sort of finish the projects Barb had started but didn’t get the chance to finish.”

The results of these projects are lasting works of art, but really, it is the process of completing them that is most rewarding for Dennis.

“It gives me something to do, lets me be creative and, down the road, when my time comes, they can be passed on from generation to generation,” Dennis said.

For years, Barb sharpened her skills as a seamstress both at the Kuyper family home and also with a group of local friends known as the Queen Bees, who meet regularly to sew and socialize at the Quilts and Other Notions Creative Center in uptown Creston.

According to Queen Bees Founding Member Katy Hayes, “Barb was very creative. She could just make something without a pattern, and it would turn out great.”

Hayes said, “I think she came for the companionship. That’s the way I think we all feel. Whether we get something done or not is not really necessary. We just like to be together.”

Barb’s genuine love of the craft is one of the driving forces behind Dennis’ ambition to pursue the endeavor himself.

“I guess I know it was relaxing for Barb and she enjoyed it,” Dennis said. “It’s the same thing for me right now; it’s relaxing and I’m

The 4K for Cancer team, running its way from San Francisco to Baltimore, stopped in Creston Wednesday for an overnight stay.

4K for Cancer is a fundraising effort for the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults, based out of Baltimore.

“Each year the 4K brings in nearly $1 million for the Ulman Cancer Fund, so it’s one of their biggest fundraisers,” said Kati Peditto, co-director for Team Baltimore. “It’s directed toward supporting young adults with cancer. We’re in the process of opening a young adult support house in Baltimore for people who are traveling for treatment and need a place to stay.”

The 4K for Cancer is a relay across the United States, with each team member running 2 miles at a time. Team members run anywhere from 6 to 20 miles per day.

The team left Omaha, Ne-

braska, Wednesday morning and arrived in Creston Wednesday afternoon.

“This is day 25 of our trip across the country,” Peditto said. “On Aug. 6, we’ll make it into Baltimore. We’re about halfway through, as of today.”

Emma Horgan, co-director of Team Baltimore, said team members are from all over the country.

Team members range in age from 18 to 25. Some members have graduated from college already, while most are still in college.

“We have some pretty elite runners on our team, runners in college (who have) qualified for the Boston Marathon,” Horgan said.

“There are people like me, I played field hockey in college, but I’m not a distance runner. So, that’s been an adjustment. And then, there are people who have never really run before, and this is really a huge challenge for them physically.”

Each team member had to 4K | 5A

enjoying doing it. It gives me something to do in the evenings because evenings are the tough time. Plus, then you’re rewarded because you’ve got something to show for your time.”

Before her passing, Dennis recalls great lengths of time spent observing his late wife toiling away at her sewing machine and enjoying relaxed conversation with

her.

“She’s the one who led the way and showed me without even knowing,” Dennis said.

“In a way, as I watched and we conversed as she would sew, she inspired me to take up sewing. I also figured, she’s got anything and everything a quilter or sewer needs, so I might as well give it a try.”

Deaths Nicole Carmichael Ottawa, Kan.

On Jan. 26, 1980, a baby girl was born at 6:29 p.m. in Red Oak. She was named Nicole May. On July 9, 1980, Nicole had a change in her life and on July 10 came to live with Leland and Linda Carmichael as a fosCarmichael ter child.

T h e r e are no words to describe the feeling we felt when she came into our lives that evening. As time went on, Leland and Linda’s position changed from foster parents to Nicole’s parents in March 1982 by adoption.

A baby boy was born to Leland and Linda in February 1981, named Clinton, and Clinton announced he had a new baby sister and a party was held to welcome her into the community.

Come to think of it, we are probably responsible for all Nicole’s partying habits that she participated in her 36 years of life, with her being age 2 for her first party. As a young toddler, she loved to play outside in the sand, ride her trikes and play with the kitties for which we even had a funeral for one kitty and buried it beside the old tire beside the sand pile.

Nicole attended Sunday School at United Methodist Church in Villisca where she was baptized. She attended preschool and grade school through fifth grade in Villisca, entering sixth grade in Lenox and graduated with the class of 1998. She participated in volleyball, track, basketball and cross country. She had an abundant amount of energy and used it not just for her studies and sports, but to have fun.

While in high school she worked at Papettis in Lenox.

She also worked at the Tiger Den and got up in the early morning, before school started, to clean for Dr. Rudy Imm Dental Office. She at-

Leo Berry, 81, of Bendena, Kansas, died Wednesday, July 13, 2016, at a Kansas City hospital.

Mass will be 10 a.m. Saturday, July 16, at St. Benedict’s Catholic Church in Bendena, Kansas. Burial will be in St. Benedict’s Cemetery in Bendena, Kansas. Rosary will be 5:30 p.m. Friday at the church with visitation to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested memorials to the St. Benedict’s Church repair fund.

the Urgent Care Clinic,� said Dr. Matthew Epp, MD, medical director of the Urgent Care Clinic. “The clinic is intended for patients who need urgent care before or after their regular provider’s office hours, or for someone who doesn’t have a regular provider.� “For patients without a regular provider, our ur-

She worked at several jobs, but the latest was Aldis for six years and recently had went to train in Los Angeles, California, for a company named Joern’s Health Care in Lenexa, Kansas, with her position title as medical delivery technician.

Larry C. Antisdel became a part of her life in her school days in our home and grew to have great respect for him and upon graduation, and continuing through her 36 years of life, she would call Larry and talk to him if she had car problems, and loved to talk about NASCAR racing.

Two years ago, Nicole met the love of her life, Janelle, and life could not be better and as time went on Nicole was blessed with Janelle’s family coming into her life.

Her family in Iowa had repeatedly said that words could not describe Janelle’s family as how they accepted Nicole into their family. It was remarkable.

Nicole was a strong person in many ways. Enjoyed having fun, having many friends, was a beautiful girl and wanted to be helpful to all people she knew. Mom and she talked about confidence in herself from time to time, which is one thing she felt she lacked. She felt she needed to be a better person to other people. Mom continued to tell her she was great and to try to build herself up. She was a rock for a lot of people and whenever Mom had health issues, Nicole told her, “Mom you are going to be OK,� and she was. She repeatedly said the angels are going to take care of you. Nicole made me feel so good. Even though Nicole had the love of her life, had a good job, nice car, family, many friends and much more, there was something missing in Nicole’s life and Nicole could not find it, nor did her family know what it was. So the angels took hold of her and put their arms around her July 10, 2016, and said come with us and

we will take care of you. Nicole now lives in a new town named Heaven City and we have already heard she loves it. It is peaceful and beautiful and the angels have removed all of her problems.

She has met new people to party with, if you can imagine that, and for those not living in Heaven City yet that will be moving there at a later date to join Nicole are her father Leland Carmichael; mother Linda Carmichael (Larry C..Antisdel); brother Clinton Carmichael (wife Tammy); niece Kally Carmichael; aunt Judy Cross (husband Forrest); uncle David Palma; uncle Paul Palma (wife Wanda); grandfather Charles F. Palma; step-nephews, Luke Samo (wife Kayla) and Benji Samo (wife Katy); fiancĂŠe Janelle Lickteig; daughters, Kyla Keisler and Ashlynn Altic; parents-in-law, Dennis and Kathleen Lickteig and Mark and Marilyn Dawson; brothers-in law and sistersin-law, Kimberly Lickteig and Trevor Carlisle (and five children), Chris and Jennifer Irons (and five children), Chris Lickteig (and one child), Charlie Casby and Amanda Hulse (and three children) and Missy and Melissa Reimer (and three children) and many friends and other relatives.

She is preceded in death by grandparents, Melba Palma and Dwight and Ruth Carmichael and step-nephew Matt Samo.

Funeral services will be 3 p.m. Sunday, July 17, at Pearson Family Funeral Service, 809 W. Montgomery St., in Creston. Rev. Tim Maxa will officiate. Fellowship with snacks will be 5 p.m. Saturday, July 16, at the funeral home community room.

Open visitation and family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday. Open visitation will be from 10 a.m. until service time on Sunday. Memorial contributions may be directed to the family in Nicole’s name, for a park bench at Olathe Lake in Olathe, Kansas. Online condolences may be left at www.pearsonfuneralhomes.com.

Today is July 14, the 196th day of the year. It’s a leap year. So, there are 170 days left in 2016. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (July 11-17) in history:

10 years ago Johnny Carson was born Oct. 23, 1925, in Corning.

The community, led by Ed Chapel and his daughter Dianne, wanted to restore his childhood home up to age 2 to the condition it was in at that time. Chapel had purchased the property in October 2005 to create a nonprofit organization associated with the television personality.

There was a new butter sculptor at the Iowa State Fair. Sarah Pratt, a 29-yearold schoolteacher form Norwalk, was in the process of becoming lead butter sculptor after 15 years of learning from Norma “Duffy� Lyon, the fair’s famed “butter cow lady.� Lyon had carved butter at the fair for 45 years and had announced she was cutting back in 2002 to give Pratt the job. Pratt planned on carving Iowa native Brandon Routh from “Superman Returns� and icon Bill Riley to commemorate the variety show emcee’s 60th year at the fair, in addition to the butter cow.

After 33 years behind the desk, Shirley Ross, former Orient city clerk, was ready to spend more time with her children and working for causes like improving Lake Orient and building a community center. During her 33 years, Ross had worked with five mayors.

Dennis is not the only member of the family who has had the chance to experience the joy that quilting brought to his late wife. In the summer of 2014, Dennis and Barb’s granddaughter, Libby, worked with her grandmother to sew a keepsake quilt chock-full of memories at the tender age of 7. “They sewed it like an hour at a time,� Dennis recalled. “She (Libby) wanted zebra and she wanted pink and she wanted black. It’s a decent-sized quilt, and Libby sewed the inside, and Barb sewed the borders on and had it quilted. Barb would help her get the material there, but Libby would sew it all the way through and did it by herself mostly. I know that project was really important

chapter. The chapter was being disbanded.

The Lorimor school building was saved from demolition. Larry Reynolds, a private developer from Wisconsin and an Osceola native, was hoping for a successful conversion of the empty building into an apartment complex. East Union district had just spent $100,000 for demolition of the Arispe school building and had projected costs for this building to exceed $150,000. Reynolds purchased the building for $1 and had plans for 21 apartments. The school had been built in stages in 1918 and 1926 and was last used for classes in the 1993-94 school year.

Prince Charles, 47, and Princess Diana, 35, announced they had agreed on a swift divorce after threeplus years of separation and more than a decade of misery. Lawyers said the divorce would be final Aug. 28 and would bring an end to a royal match that began with a glittering wedding and degenerated into a soap opera of tears, betrayal, bulimia

and an odd suicide attempt.

Diana would relinquish any claim to being queen of England but would be able to live in the palace and free to pursue her dream of being “a queen in people’s hearts.� Charles would become the first divorced king since George I, who reigned from 1714-27 and would be free to marry Camilla Parker Bowles.

to both of them.�

To commemorate the completion of the collaborative quilt, the Kuypers collected a series of photographs cataloguing the project’s progression from initial idea to finished product. “What we did is make a book that says ‘Libby’s Quilt’ that sort of shows the whole process,� Kuyper said. “It shows the process of them going to buy the material, cutting the material, Libby working with Barb cutting the material and sewing at the sewing machine.�

One of the most pertinent projects for Dennis to have completed in memory of his late wife’s passion is a quilt which stemmed from a cruise the couple took to Alaska prior to the diagnosis of her cancer in December 2012. The quilt, which was purchased as a complete pattern, produced a colorful representation of

a mountain landscape, and it was highly difficult to sew even for an experienced quilter. “I actually asked the Queen Bees for help with that one because of how intricate the pattern was,� Dennis said. “It was laid out so that there was only one way the sections could be cut without ruining the entire pattern. Literally, one wrong cut would have wrecked the whole piece.�

Thanks to the expertise and dedication of Barb’s friends in the Queen Bees, though, the prized piece was completed and presented to her before her passing in December 2014. “I actually hung that one on the wall of our living room so Barb could see it from where she spent the majority of her time during the last month of her battle,� Dennis said. “I know she truly appreciated seeing that get finished.�

Creston police, using their new radar speed detector unit for the first time July 12, gave speeding tickets to seven motorists. Assistant Police Chief Dean Jarman said in the first use of the unit, it was adults rather than teenagers who were found exceeding speed limits.

A one-year scholarship to the Area 14 junior college was the prize in a contest to select a name for the school.

The Area 14 board set up the name contest to any resident in the eight counties of Area 14 who submitted a suitable name for the college. The board planned to select the name from entries at the Aug. 9, 1966 meeting.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, July 14, 2016

The town will be overfull in 11 days Look for about 20,000 extra people in Creston on July 25 for the RAGBRAI overnight stop.

Most all the plans are in place and ready to go for the event.

Now the countdown begins.

The committees have done a ton of work to make the event possible. It has taken many people to make this event come together. A big pre-RAGBRAI “thank you” goes out to everyone who has helped to make this a nice showcase event for Creston.

It was less than six months ago that we found out that RAGBRAI was coming our way. About 2,000 committee meetings later it looks like we are ready for the event. Now if only the weather will cooperate. If you could believe the long-range forecast, it should be around 94 degrees and sunny that Monday. Be sure to

The Creston Panthers made it back to the State Softball Tournament. It’s back-to-back tournament years for the team.

Art The building on the corner of West Adams and North Division streets has had a nice transformation as of late with the addition of a large mural on one side and several colorful inserts on the other side of the building. Kind of makes the place look like “fun!”

Stocks The stock market hit an alltime high this week. I’m not sure that it helps a lot with the interest rates still being at all-time lows.

It just doesn’t feel like stocks have gone up that much as of late.

But here we are at all-time highs!

It looks like you need to be more of a stock picker in these times if you want to come out ahead with stock. I think the low gas prices keep as much money in anyone’s pocket as any investment right now. Cheap gas, low interest, high stock market, lots of debt and the dollar and gold going in the same direction. Makes for an interesting combination!

Thought for the week: “The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.” Sam Levenson

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

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg vowed to move to New Zealand if Donald Trump is elected president.

Others say they would move to Canada or Australia. Liberals would look a lot more tolerant and open-minded if they weren’t always threatening to go away to the White Dominions.

Cleveland is set to host the four-night GOP Convention Monday which will nominate Donald Trump for president.

The Republicans are having trouble lining up endorsement speakers. Three of the four headliners are going to talk about how to make money in real estate with no money down.

Mexico’s government saw the U.S. election calendar Friday and announced they have decided to build the wall as Donald Trump promised they would.

They’re going to build it around the GOP Convention just as soon as everyone’s inside. However, they say they have no money for gates or doors.

President Obama took it on himself to address the nation’s racial divide Wednesday after polls showed tensions boiling.

Obama personally hosted Obama a White House summit between police officers and members of the Black Lives Matter movement. And

you wonder why Secret Service agents drink.

Donald Trump discussed running mate options with Bret Baier on Fox News Wednesday. It’s basically down to two choices.

Donald Trump will pick Mike Pence if he wants to serve red meat to GOP conservatives or he will pick Chris Christie if he wants to serve red meat with barbecue sauce.

The New York Post reported that FBI agents who investigated Hillary have been forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement. That perfectly concludes the cover-up.

At the height of the Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon famously insisted that he was not a crook, and he wasn’t by today’s standards.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders appeared on stage with Hillary Clinton in front of a cheering crowd in New Hampshire Tuesday and finally endorsed Hillary for pres- Sanders ident. The old socialist looked a little out of sorts. He’s still upset that the team with the most points just won the NBA Finals.

Bernie Sanders called for amnesty for illegal aliens, open borders, guaranteed jobs and wages, free college and free health care.

He said the revolution continues.

That means Bernie would take the Drug Czar, the Budget Czar, and the Health Care Czar and have them all shot in the palace basement.

Hillary Clinton stood next to Bernie Sanders during his endorsement speech Tuesday where she was clocked nodding her head over 400 times. Some Bernie Sanders Clinton fans booed the endorsement for Mrs. Clinton. They vowed not to vote for Hillary when they don’t vote in November.

The New England Journal of Medicine reported that plastic surgeons in the U.S. and in the UK are increasingly helping patients recover from plastic surgery by using leeches. The use of leech therapy is no secret. After the doctor has exhausted all other options, he refers the patient to a lawyer.

Bill Cosby’s judge in Philadelphia ruled Friday there’s enough evidence to bind the comedian over for trial for sexual assault. It was announced Tuesday that Bill has hired a woman to be his defense attorney.

She said that she has no idea how she got the job, she just woke up and there it was.

President Obama called on Congress to create a government-run health insurance plan as the Affordable Care Act continued crumbling.

The president makes you one guarantee. If you like the doctor you lost due to Obamacare, you can keep the doctor you’ll never get with Mutual of Obama.

Adair County beginning cooks to take center stage

CNA photo by KELSEY HAUGEN

Blood drive: Creston High School junior Trey Gift, 16, donates blood during an American Red Cross blood drive Wednesday afternoon in the school commons. Also pictured is phlebotomist Holly Vanzuiden.

Trump nears VP decision, candidates on standby for decision WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is on the verge of picking his running mate, with top contenders told to expect a decision from the Republican nominee as early as Thursday afternoon.

Newt Gingrich, one of the finalists for the vice presidential slot, told The Associated Press he’s expecting to hear from Trump sometime after 1 p.m. The former House speaker praised Trump for running a “very fair, open process� and said he looked forward to learning the businessman’s decision.

Joining Gingrich on Trump’s shortlist are Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, according to people familiar with the candidate’s thinking. All three have had extensive conversations with Trump and his family in recent days.

Trump and his new running mate will make their first appearance together Friday in New York. The timing is aimed at energizing Republicans ahead of next week’s Republican convention in Cleveland.

Each of Trump’s top contenders would add significant political experience to the GOP ticket.

Trump, a political novice, has said for weeks that he

wanted a running mate who could help him work with Congress.

Beyond their political backgrounds, the finalists bring different strengths to the ticket.

Pence, 57, is a steady, staunch conservative who would help calm nervous Republican wary of Trump’s impulsive style.

He served six terms in Congress before becoming Indiana governor.

He also has deep ties to evangelical Christians and other conservatives, particularly after signing a law last year that critics said would have allowed businesses to deny service to gay people for religious reasons.

Trump took notice of Pence during the Indiana primary, noting that the governor had high praise for him despite endorsing one of his rivals.

Gingrich is a boisterous rabble-rouser who has spent decades in Washington and helped define the political battles of the 1990s. The 73-year-old would be the oldest candidate ever to become vice president.

Gingrich has been a steadfast Trump defender for months and has become a trusted adviser to the businessman.

Homemade ice pack Dear Readers: It’s time for summer fun, sports, games and outings. Many people use a bag of frozen peas as an ICE PACK for an “owie,” but here is something better: The Heloise update: Make your own ice pack, and have it at the ready for the inevitable bumps and bruises!

This homemade ice pack will get cold but won’t freeze solid. It’ll manipulate to fit around arms, legs, knees and shoulders.

Put 1 part rubbing alcohol to 3 parts water in a zippered freezer bag, and add a drop or two of food coloring as a reminder that it is NOT edible. Place into a second bag, CLEARLY LABEL it and put it in the freezer. It turns into a slushy mixture.

Wrap the bag in a thin towel, then place on the affected area for short periods of time.

Labeling the bag and coloring its contents are extremely important. – Heloise CLEAR COMMUNICATION Dear Heloise: I have a hearing problem. When people left a “call-back number” on my answering machine, I had trouble deciphering the number.

My daughter suggested a new message: “For a callback, please say your number slowly, and say it twice.”

Hints from Heloise sage. – Lois V., Centerville, Ohio GENTLE CARE Dear Heloise: A gentle, important reminder for nurses, aides and caregivers is to return bedside tray tables alongside – or in front of – their patient or loved one.

These tables contain necessary items – e.g., tissues, water, remote control, writing implements and the phone. – Karen E., Bloomfield, N.J. PROTECT ANIMALS Dear Heloise: When I buy soda pop in cans, it usually is held together by plastic. I cut the plastic into small pieces so no animals will get caught in it. I read your nice column daily. – Hilda C., Hamilton, Ohio Hilda, thank you for the reminder! I hope my readers pay attention. The plastic rings can harm and kill wildlife, as well as stray animals.

Historic season of firsts for Creston/O-M tennis Successful senior group honored at team bamquet

■

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

A season of firsts was celebrated at the Creston/Orient-Macksburg tennis team’s banquet Wednesday night.

Head coach Kevin Cooper noted that the first team qualification in state tennis for the girls program resulted in a run all the way to the state finals, finishing runner-up in Class 1A to Waterloo Columbus.

The all-senior girls varsity lineup also produced two state medal-winning entries for the first time, as Jenna Taylor and Alli Thomsen placed fourth, after taking sixth place a year earlier.

Teammates Caitlin McIlravy and Sydney Dunphy placed fifth.

The girls also captured their first Hawkeye 10 Conference team championship, outscoring Shenandoah for the top spot, 28-21. Those two teams hooked up later in a competitive regional final team dual in Atlantic won by the Panthers, 5-4.

From the boys team, senior Ryan Kucera became the program’s first two-time state qualifier in singles, going 1-2 in this year’s Class 1A state tourney in Waterloo.

The graduating seniors from the boys and girls squads produced 12 state qualifying events in their careers. Jenna Taylor played at state three times — once in doubles with Audrey Fyock and twice in a medal-winning partnership with Thomsen. Kucera, McIlravy and Dunphy each played at state twice.

It was a rewarding season from start to finish, said Cooper, accompanied during the program by assistants Amanda Plymale and Anthony Donahoo. The boys won the Saydel tournament and the girls captured the Knoxville tourney for the second consecutive year.

“This year both teams

went 8-2 for the year in duals in the regular season,” Cooper said. “I would say that’s our best record in regards to both teams doing well, winning 16 duals between them.

In the team postseason, the boys beat Clarke after losing to them earlier in the year, and then we got beat out by Boone in the round of

16. The boys program is in a different place than the girls program now, with some players from different grades with varsity experience. On the girls side we graduate nine kids, six from the varsity lineup.”

The girls team ended with a 13-3 record, taking 5-0 sweeps of Clarke and Chari-

ton in regional play before edging Shenandoah, 5-4. In the state tournament quarterfinal round at Norwalk, Creston beat Ballard of Huxley, 5-3, but three matches were hanging in the balance, with tiebreakers involved, as it wound down.

The state semifinal win was 5-4 over Decorah in a

battle that took nearly four hours. Just in No. 1 singles alone, Taylor won against a singles state qualifier in a grueling match lasting more than two hours.

Columbus then captured its 18th state championship, 5-0, over the Panthers in the TENNIS 10A

Not the first rodeo, but maybe more special It’s kind of a big deal.

Continued dissapointments to one team lingered in the minds of those associated with Creston softball.

That’s what several prominent Creston school professionals continued to reiterate to me about Creston’s repeated losses against powerhouse Winterset come tournament time.

When Creston took the lead in the seventh inning of the game and I moved from the first base side of the field to third base, I ran into one particular person behind home plate who had voiced this frusrtation before. Now, it was joyful but nervous giddiness.

“In case you didn’t know, this is kind of a big deal.”

I hope I’m not remembering that incorrectly, but I believe that was how it was phrased.

Panthers had taken down giants, or in this case, Huskies.

Fast forward to Tuesday night.

Creston was taking on a Glenwood team that it had already defeated twice. The Panthers weren’t underdogs. However, there was still something electric about it.

Creston was, by most assessments, not supposed to be as good as last year.

The record says as much, not winning the Hawkeye 10 indicates as much, and yet here we are. The 3-2 Panthers win was, in the minds of some of the seniors, even more satisfying than last year’s win

clinching an appearance at state Lexie Little told me that last year was the year where the state trip was supposed to happen. It was the ‘last chance’ to make it happen.

“Last year we felt like it was our last year to go, last chance. It’s even better this year just because no one believed I don’t think, except for us,” Little said.

Losing Haylee LaMasters, Natalie Mostek and Brenna Baker was supposed to make all the difference.

powered Nodaway Valley to a 12-2, five inning win over Lamoni.

Nodaway Valley, 1710, advances to face Orient-Macksburg, 9-15, in the Class 1A District 14 semifinal Thursday in Lenox. First pitch is set for 5 p.m.

Orient-Macksburg advanced with a 6-5 win over Mount Ayr. “We finally woke up and got things going,” said Nodaway Valley coach Dan Jameson.

Nodaway Valley spotted Lamoni, 2-25, a 2-0 lead in the first.

The Wolverines settled in with a two-run bottom of the first.

Both teams went scoreless in the second and third.

The Wolverines finally broke through in the fourth with a nine-run inning.

Ryan Jensen, Jameson noted, had a big hit.

“Ryan Jensen got us going,” Jameson said.

The Wolverines finished with 10 hits.

“When you put the ball in play, good things happen,” Jameson said.

Spencer Thompson had two hits, including a double, and drove in three. Jensen had two hits, drove in two and scored twice. Sam Marnin, the Wolverines starting pitcher, helped his own cause with three hits, including a triple, and drove in a pair. Tyler Vandewater had a hit, drove in a run and scored twice. Jackson Lamb had a triple, drove in a run and scored twice. Beau Weinhiemer reached twice and scored two runs, including the game-ending run.

Marnin pitched effectively. He scattered six hits, two unearned runs, walked none and struck out three.

Next up is a date with Orient-Macksburg.

“They’re a scrappy team,” Jameson said. “They’ve got good players. They’ll want to get after it.”

In the earlier game, the Bulldogs rallied to keep their season alive with a thrilling 6-5 win over Mount Ayr. Mount Ayr led 5-4 heading into the seventh. The Bulldogs’ A.J. Kralik was hit by a pitch to start the seventh. Bulldogs coach Drew Dornack pinch ran Dewayne Figgins. Figgins stole second and scored on Joey Huntington’s base hit.

Two outs later, Huntington was at second base. Jackson Mikkelson reached on an error, allowing Huntington to score the go-ahead run.

Orient-Macksburg then held on in the bottom of the seventh to secure the win.

Brayden Swank was hit by a pitch with two outs, but Bulldogs pitcher Jesse Johnson induced a strikeout to end the game.

“It was a good game either way,” said Dornack. “We got to the seventh and got up one. No matter how it ended I was going to be proud of the guys. They were able to battle hard and we came through with the win.”

The win came with an added bonus for Dornack’s crew.

“It’s nice to say we have practice and know that we’re playing Thursday,” Dornack said.

Orient-Macksburg was also able to finally pull out a postseason win for the first time in three seasons.

“It’s exciting to have that feeling again,” Dornack said.

The win snapped a season-long skid the Bulldogs had against Pride of Iowa Conference teams. Entering Tuesday’s game, the Bulldogs were 0-7 against Pride of Iowa teams.

With two outs, Mikkelson singled to drive in Huntington. Triston Davidson reached on an error, allowing Mikkelson to score.

CRESTON FRESHMAN BASEBALL Staff report

Creston’s freshman baseball team team dropped a pair of games in its opener at Norwalk on June 6.

The Panthers dropped the opener 11-0.

Jared Moreland was the lone Panther baserunner, earning a walk.

“There were a lot of first high school game nerves,” said Creston freshman coach Jerry Hartman. “The Norwalk team was made up mostly of freshmen and sophomores, while we are primarily eighth graders and it showed in our experience.”

Creston committed four errors.

“We held them scoreless in two of the four innings, but our lack of offense and untimely errors proved to be the difference in the game,” said Hartman.

Matthew Kunz took the mound and went the distance, striking out 4 and walking six.

The Panthers battled well in the second game, but still lost 4-0.

Hunter Fry struck out nine and walked two, while allowing two hits.

“Hunter did a great job on the mound with Eli Hartman as catcher. They worked well

as a team and the fielders did a nice job behind him committing only two errors.” said coach Hartman.

The Panthers swept a doubleheader on June 9 over Glenwood, coming from behind in both games.

In game one, Creston won 5-4.

Sam Chapman’s base hit scored Camden Peterson in the first. Matthew Kunz singled and later scored on a passed ball.

Glenwood countered with two in the second.

The Panthers scored twice in the third, when Hartman and Fry both scored on an error. The Rams answered with three in the fourth.

Creston loaded the bases with no outs in the fifth, and scored three runs to win it, the winning run coming on a Hartman hit.

Kunz pitched the final six batters striking out two and walking two with one hit and one run to earn the win.

“It was really nice to see the boys play hard and have some confidence in their game,” coach Hartman said.

“Our bats came alive and we played well as a team. It was nice to get into the ‘W’ column.”

The Panthers took game

two 6-5.

Kunz started, going two innings. He struck out two and walked two. Gavin Gilliam struck out one, allowed three hits and walked one to earn the save.

Glenwood scored three in the third, but Creston countered with two in the bottom of the third on a two-run triple from Chapman.

Glenwood stretched the lead to 5-2 with two in the fourth.

Creston rallied in the fourth. Chesnut had a tworun single. Chapman had the game-winning hit, a sacrifice fly that scored Hartman.

“It was a really exciting game for the boys and myself,” said coach Hartman.

“I have to give it up to them, they could have easily just said enough and packed it up, but they kept fighting and they were able to pull out the victory. Sam (Chapman), Jared (Morelan), Brayton (Chestnut) and everyone really did a great job of just playing the game and doing the little things that are needed to pull of an upset victory. Really proud of them today.”

Editor’s note: A recap on the entire season will appear in a future issue.

final round.

That lineup included the four players who medaled in state doubles earlier in the week, along with Gracie Russell and Ann Waigand.

Freshman Megan Haley was the alternate.

“The girls postseason was just insane,” Cooper said.

“They won three really close ones with Shenandoah, Ballard and Decorah on their way to the state championship match. It didn’t just happen. The kids spent hours and hours out at the courts.”

Cooper praised the efforts of the JV team as they had more opportunities to play than previous years.

Foglesong and Taylor Briley, and young players stepping up, has led Creston back to state once more.

I didn’t see that run from last year, but I can tell how much it meant.

I believe everyone that has told me that this one means even more.

Watching this team come together to rally from behind on Saturday and Tuesday has been a thrill.

It’s not that this is my first time covering a team having accomplished this much, even as a young, semi-experienced reporter. When attending school at Ohio University, I had the chance to cover two state championship games: One in the lowest division of high school football, the other in the lowest division of high school girls basketball.

I covered Ohio University softball’s run to the NCAA tournament as well.

I can comprehend what it means for a small-town to follow its team to glory.

Having said this, the last week isn’t any less surreal. I have found myself still aghast at what I have witnessed several times in the last week.

I’ve gone back to the CNA newsroom and have sat, an hour after last pitch, with my heart still beating rapidly.

Creston senior Alli Thomsen jumped into the arms of father John Thomsen after the Panthers’ win over Glenwood Tuesday night. Thomsen recorded the final out in dramatic fashion in each of the last two wins.

The experience of consequential high level athletics keeps me on edge like nothing else.

The first time I talked to Ryan Kronberg, I think he could sense how anxious, I was to get to my first full-time job and get on the ground doing reporting right away. He also assured me that I would be able to take

on the majority of the local softball coverage.

Knowing that I would be covering a successful softball program in Creston immediately was an enthralling possibility.

Little did I know how good it would get.

It has the possibility to get even better, and that’s an incredible thought to ponder.

matches at Atlantic and we’d like to continue doing that,” Cooper said. “It helps them get more matches to get ready for varsity.”

Cooper said one reason the banquet was held so late after the conclusion of the season was that he prepared a Shutterfly photo booklet for the seniors that included a page dedicated to each of them with photos from throughout the season.

Donahoo also leaves the program, as he joins the Southwest Valley teaching staff in Corning this fall, where he is head football coach.

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, July 14, 2016

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

Forget Junior, what about Jimmie?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Of the non-winners not currently inside the Chase cutoff, who is the best bet to win a race?

GODSPEAK: Give me Kasey Kahne (18th), because Kasey can win a race. He’s overdue for a win.

KEN’S CALL: Kyle Larson (19th in points) has three top-fives, so statistically I’ll go with him.

Jimmie Johnson’s struggles for much of 2016 have largely taken place outside the spotlight’s glare. Jimmie Johnson is still Two reasons for searching for answers to recent woes. AP FILE this: 1. He did win twice in the first five weeks (Atlanta and Fontana), which puts him two up on Junior in the W column. And 2. When you’re sailing in Junior’s orbit, you tend to get overshadowed in good times and bad.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM KENTUCKY

Is this unprecedented for the No. 48?

Any chance Martin Truex Jr. is ridding himself of all bad luck before the Chase?

GODSPEAK: We’re talking about the guy I picked to win the title. He will be fine.

KEN’S CALL: Like Harvick two years ago, maybe. Or, you know, maybe not.

We’ll keep asking, can Junior get it together?

GODSPEAK: Winning will cure all of Junior’s problems. I think he is saving up for September.

KEN’S CALL: We’re 18 races into 2016, with too many issues. Making the Chase is his top-end this year.

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar facebook.com/ nascardaytona

Our Research Dept. shows that since a third-place finish at Richmond in late April, Jimmie has had one top-10 in nine starts. Three finishes of 32nd or worse in the past five races. We had to dig back to 10-race stretch in 2004, when he had six finishes of 32nd or worse.

So he stays in your weekly top-10 ranking down below?

1. Hard tires

2. Crazy eight

3. ‘Brad Speedway’

Goodyear went to “old reliable” by using super-hard tires at Kentucky Speedway to avoid tire issues. “It was the hardest thing on the planet,” three-time Cup Series champion Tony Stewart said after the race. “The NHL doesn’t have anything on them on a hard puck.”

Matt Kenseth finished eighth at Kentucky Saturday night and was genuinely pleased the way his No. 20 Toyota handled. “It’s the best we ran in two months, really,” he said. “I thought we had a top-3 to a top-5 car.” Fuel mileage was Kenseth’s undoing at Kentucky.

Brad Keselowski has 21 career NASCAR Cup Series wins and three of those have been earned at Kentucky.

Since Kentucky has hosted only six Cup races, Keselowski has won half those races staged at the 1.5-mile oval since 2011. He has won every other year since 2012.

It’s tempting to bump him, but there’s too much history. Our Research Dept. also tells us, after all, after that bad stretch in ’04, Jimmie won three straight and four of the next five. But give it a couple more weeks, and we may punt history to the wall.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. makes a pit stop for more tires at Kentucky Speedway. Goodyear brought the hardest tires it could make to keep them from blistering on Kentucky’s new asphalt surface. AP/TIMOTHY D. EASLEY

3 THINGS TO WATCH

Kyle Busch with three victories. Tony Stewart is 11th in the Chase standings thanks to that win at Sonoma. Jamie McMurray is on the bubble based on points.

1. Streaks There are several interesting streaks in Cup Series racing right now, but the two most interesting belong to Brad Keselowski and Kurt Busch. Keselowski is on a tworace winning streak with wins at Daytona and Kentucky.

Busch has finished every lap of all 18 races staged to date.

There have been 5,202 laps run this season and Busch has finished each one. He is the last man standing in this ironman category.

2. Real standings The points standings on

3. Rookie battle Kurt Busch has every reason to smile because he is the only driver to complete every lap of NASCAR Cup Series competition this season. GETTY IMAGES/SARAH CRABILL

the left side of this page are the points standings, but are not the standings being tracked by NASCAR Cup Series competitors. The real standings have Brad Keselowski at the top of the board with four wins this season, followed by

Elliott

CHASE ELLIOTT VS. RYAN BLANEY: Blaney tried to go three-wide on Lap 88 at Kentucky and sent both Elliott and himself into the outside wall. “I really didn’t know how that was going to work,” Elliott said.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Chalk this one up to a rookie mistake that cost two rookies. Blaney got caught in the heatof-the-moment restart. One of them deals, as they say.

Every so often we have to remind you of the tremendous battle for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rookie of the Year honors. The two kids way out front here are Chase Elliott, who right now is qualified for the Chase playoffs, and Ryan Blaney, who is just beyond the cut line. They crashed each other out at Kentucky. Not surprisingly, four of the five rookie contenders crashed at Kentucky.

DID YOU KNOW? This week’s race at New Hampshire is 301 laps (the “New Hampshire 301”) while the Sept. 25 race is 300 laps (the “New England 300”). The extra lap for this week’s race stems from the event’s former title sponsor (Lenox Tools) and the company’s slogan regarding tools that “go the extra mile.” Nowadays, the extra lap simply serves to differentiate the two races in some small way.

(BPT) - Kitchen renovation is a common theme of home improvement shows, and it’s typical for the host and designer to talk about removing interior walls and “bumping out” exterior ones in order to gain more space. Everyone wants a big, beautiful kitchen, but changing the footprint of yours isn’t always practical, especially if you lack the budget of a home improvement show!

You can make your snug kitchen feel bigger and fresher with a few smart improvements that don’t involve wads of cash and tearing out walls. Here are four ways to create a brighter, more expansive feeling in any kitchen, no matter how small the square footage: Increase natural light Everything looks bigger and better in the daylight, but if your kitchen has just one small window over the sink or no windows at all, it can look dark and feel even smaller. Adding windows isn’t always possible in a kitchen where you need to reserve wall space for cabinets and appliances. Skylights can be a cost-effective and quick way to bring more natural light into a kitchen - even if it doesn’t have direct roof access.

By adding Energy Star-qualified, solar-powered, fresh-air skylights, like those from Velux America, you can greatly increase the amount of natural light while keeping functional wall space.

For times when you want less light, the addition of solar-powered blinds, available in designer colors and patterns, allow you to attractively shade your skylights. Operated with a programmable touchpad remote control, today’s skylights also feature a sensor that will automatically close them in case of rain. And there’s a 30 percent federal tax credit available to the homeowner on solar powered skylights, blinds and installation costs.

As a cost-effective and easily installed alternative to traditional skylights, Sun Tunnel tubular skylights deliver natural light to spaces that don’t have direct roof access. Optional light kits make them functional both day and night. To learn more, so that the inside of your cabinets always look guest-ready. visit www.whyskylights.com.

They not only make the room look feel downright miniscule.

If you decide you hinder usability by obstructing other work areas can make more efficient use of fewer cabinets, like cabinets, counters and other appliances when consider removing some to make the kitchen feel the doors are open.

Fortunately, appliance makers offer products in larger.

Brighten up Choosing lighter colors and finishes is the easiest, most cost-effective way to make any space look bigger. If you’ve already addressed the cabinets, you can further expand the visual feel of the kitchen by painting walls a light color. Replace dark floors and counters with brighter colors and upgrade faucets, cabinet hardware and light fixtures to be brighter and more reflective.

Finally, try adding under-cabinet lighting above work spaces. Not only will task lighting put more illumination where you need it most when working in the kitchen, but when combined with abundant natural light from skylights it will enhance the overall effect of a lighter, brighter and bigger space.
