Ex-Iowa Senate Council at impasse over GOP caucus fireworks permit proposal staffer awarded $2.2M in lawsuit

CITY COUNCIL

Streams of gold fall from the sky as a red firework explodes in the middle during the 10,000 Crestonians Fourth of July fireworks show in McKinley Park in Creston. Fireworks remain a topic of discussion for Creston City Council after the state legalized the sale of fireworks earlier this year.

By CARTER ECKL CNA staff reporter ceckl@crestonnews.com

Even though the window for shooting fireworks has come and gone, Creston City Council still spent most of Tuesday’s meeting discussing the highly debated topic.

This discussion initiated around a proposal of a permit application for firework

shows inside the city limits of Creston outside of July 4 and Christmas.

The debate about the application started around insurance coverage, but legality quickly shifted the conversation into old discussions over the current ordinance the city has discussed changing since fireworks became legal in Iowa earlier this year.

The proposed permit

requires a $1 million total exposure insurance policy for anyone wishing to shoot off fireworks within the city limits.

Brandon Vonk, vice president of the Creston Shooters, requested to host a shoot for a family friend, igniting the discussion.

“The whole thing was, Brandon had requested to have a shoot. What do we need to do to get it done?

That is what really generated this,” said City Administrator Mike Taylor.

Insurance policies with the proposed permit caused concern on Vonk’s part, especially regarding smaller shoots.

“I’m not against saying that we need the insurance, but it’s the amount,” said Vonk.

DES MOINES (AP) — A jury awarded $2.2 million Tuesday to a former Iowa Senate Republican caucus aide who sued the state and others for sexual harassment, and Iowa taxpayers will foot the bill.

Jurors determined that Kirsten Anderson, who was fired in 2012 as the caucus communications director hours after handing in a memo detailing rampant sexual harassment in the caucus office, had suffered emotional distress and damages in the workplace.

The office of Gov. Kim Reynolds confirmed Tuesday that the award will be paid out of Iowa’s general fund.

Anderson, 39, testified at trial last week that sex, race and sexual orientation were regular topics of conversations and jokes in the office.

Some of her testimony focused on the behavior of a male senior analyst whom she said in 2010 seemed angry and regularly referred to women using an obscenity. Jurors also heard testimony about testified accusing former Sen. Shawn Hamerlinck, R-DeWitt, of making comments about lobbyists’ and staffers’ breasts and the skirt lengths of female senate pages.

Hamerlinck lost his state senate re-election bid in 2012 and now serves as chairman of the Clinton County Board of Supervisors. Reached by The Associated Press on Tuesday, he asked for more time to respond, but later did not answer calls to his home. He did not return later messages left at his home.

Republican officials had denied she was harassed and argued she was fired because of poor job performance. But several other current and former staffers corroborated her claims of a hostile work environment in testimony at the trial.

State Senate Democratic leader Rob Hogg, of Cedar Rapids, blasted the actions of lawmakers and staff for failing to follow Senate p o l i c i e s Hogg already in place to prevent discrimination, harassment and retaliation.

Ex-Iowa seed company exec files $80M lawsuit over his firing ADEL (AP) — An executive for a prominent Iowa seed company is alleging he was wrongly fired by Iowa’s richest man and deprived his right to acquire $80 million worth of corporate stock.

Joseph Saluri filed a lawsuit Tuesday against billionaire Harry H. Stine and Stine Seed Company over his termination after 18 years as general counsel and vice president. It alleges Stine fired Saluri in March as part of a conspiracy to enrich others at Saluri’s expense.

Saluri alleges he was fired after trying to exercise his right to increase his ownership in M.S. Technologies, a Stine company that has agreements with Monsanto

for soybean trait technologies. He says Stine officials wanted him to waive his right so the ownership could be acquired by Stine’s former sonin-law, but Saluri blocked the deal.

On Tuesday night, Stine Seed Company general counsel Chad Johnson said in a statement that the company was reviewing the allegations. Johnson added, “We are disappointed that our former lawyer has initiated a lawsuit and disagree with his presentation of the facts and his legal conclusions. We are preparing our response to this lawsuit and will vigorously protect the company, its confidential information and its reputation.”

Gweneth Arlene Larimer, daughter of Walter and Goldie (Meier) Stapleton, was born Sept.

1, 1926, in Burlington.

Gwen entered eternal rest on Friday, July 14, 2017, at Iowa Methodist Hospital in Des Moines at the age of 90 years, 10 months and 13 days.

As a young girl, she played the piano and loved doing acrobatic flips. Her family moved to Lenox when she was young and she lived there her entire life. As a teenager, she went to dances with her friends.

She graduated from Lenox High School with the class of 1944.

Gwen married Willard Dean Larimer on June 8, 1946, in Atchison, Kansas, after Dean returned from two and one-half years of service in the United States Navy. Dean and Gwen were childhood

friends and knew each other for years. Together they shared 71 years of marriage. Two sons were born to bless this union, Terry and Dick. Gwen was a devoted homemaker, while Dean was a local carpenter before becoming a partner in the Lenox Lumberyard.

Gwen was active in the American Legion Auxiliary. Some of her favorite hobbies were dancing, playing cards, fishing and golfing. She was a very good cook and created many wonderful meals for her family. Dean and Gwen loved to go to dances and spent many Saturday nights going to dances all over the area.

They were also in a couples golf league in Lenox.

Gwen’s children were the joy of her life and she was involved in all activities in their lives.

Left to cherish the memories of a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother is her loving husband of 71 years, Dean Larimer of Lenox; her two sons,

bandale and six grandchildren. Preceding him in death were his parents, Earle and Jennie; his older sister Darlene; aunt Bernice and daughter Debbie.

Richard was born on a farm near Lenox on May 4, 1925. He lost his father at a young age as well as his older sister. His family lost the farm in the Great Depression. He met Phyllis as a high school freshman and they married in 1942. He served during World War II as a Navy corpsman, stationed in the Philippine Islands, having completed boot camp at Farragut Naval Base in Idaho.

He attended University of California, Berkeley

and University of Iowa College of Medicine and completed residency training at University of Michigan. In 1963, he returned to Des Moines and joined Dr. Paul Cash. He practiced psychiatry in Des Moines for 46 years, the last 17 years with his son Mark.

Richard was a dedicated physician, devoted spouse, parent and grandparent.

He was active in many professional and patient advocacy organizations through the years and was a lifelong Hawkeye fan and shutterbug. In later years, he enjoyed gardening. He was proud of his small town upbringing

and often spent time in his hometowns of Lenox, Corning and Creston. He touched many lives and will be missed.

Special thanks to the caring physicians and nurses who helped him in his final years, as well as the staff of Senior Suites of Urbandale.

divorced. She had two children with him, Sheri and William.

In 1958, she married Charles Edward Gilbert and had two more children, Charles and Steven. They were married for 42 1/2 years when he died of cancer in the year 2000. Darlene worked as a nurse’s aide for 25 years in nursing homes and hospitals, and five years as a dietitian aide in various nursing homes. She retired in 1990, when her health no longer

allowed her be employed.

Darlene was preceded in death by her daughter Sheri, son Steven, husband Charles, three brothers and one sister.

“Well now that we are after the legal shoot days I need a million dollars in insurance?

When I could have shot that Vonk stuff legal 10 days ago and not had to have a million-dollar policy,” said Vonk.

Creston Fire Chief Todd Jackson said Vonk asked for a permit to do a show in a residential area.

“The city of Creston does not allow fireworks in the city of Creston. So we have to go off the city ordinance of Creston,” said Jackson. “The ordinance is these numbers, you can’t change those numbers and go by the ordinance.

“We haven’t even addressed what our fireworks (ordinance) are going to be in the future.”

Insurance for the proposed permit can’t be changed under current Creston ordinance because it is illegal to shoot fireworks inside the city limits of Creston.

According to the current ordinance one must apply and be approved for a permit to shoot off fireworks inside the city limits. The ordinance does not specify what class the fireworks fall under, simply that one must obtain a permit.

These discussions tabled off as speculation over rumored changes in the state law put the council at an impasse.

For the discussion to truly continue, the council and the city of Creston will need to decide on its own laws to conduct any changes to the permit and insurance policy.

Road improvement projects Garden and Associates have begun conceptual discussion on how it plans on doing the street reconstruction projects in 2018.

Austin Smith, engineer with Garden and Associates, updated the council on

that discourse.

Smith voiced multiple times for any member of the public who might have an issue with road closings for repair to bring that issue up sooner rather than later.

“Montgomery Street is getting overlayed so we might have some issues with parade routes,” said Smith.

A few houses on West Howard Street may get blocked in by the construction.

“Just try to get it out there early before April or May next year and people voice their concerns at that point,” said Smith. “We’d like to hear them before that.”

Asphalt prices are another topic of discussion with the firm.

“We recommend bundling in all the asphalt street projects into one. More asphalt, cheaper price. It’s a specialty item down around southwest Iowa there is not a lot Smith of options for asphalt like there are for concrete.

So, we will more than likely bundle the asphalt projects together.”

However, that recommendation depends on price.

Contracts could be divied up if it is too expensive to buy all the asphalt from one contractor.

“That way we have an option to go with one contractor. If they have a good price on every project all together, or we can bid the project separately, so you might have three or four or five different contracts with different contractors,” said Smith regarding potential cost of asphalt.

“We’re looking January, February for every project out there,” said Smith regarding potential start dates.

As of now, plans are to complete all of the road repair projects before the end of 2018. However, issues such as sewage pipe repairs or streets needing to be left open have the potential to slow the project.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, July 19, 2017

Reliving an experience Do you ever wish you could go back in time and experience something for the first time all over again?

I often find myself listening to music in my car or through my headphones and wishing I could relive the feeling I had when I heard a particular song for the first time.

The song that stirs up that desire the most when I listen to it now is “Sam’s Town,” the title track from The Killers’ sophomore album.

Perhaps it would be more accurate of me to say I would love to relive the feeling of listening to that album as a whole for the first time, as the album, to me, flows as one cohesive unit from song to song.

But that song, in particular, takes me back to the fall of 2006.

The Killers immediately became my favorite band with their critically acclaimed debut album,

Vick-tory lap Scott Vicker managing editor

“Hot Fuss.”

In the summer of 2006, they released an absolute rocker of a lead single for their upcoming second album. That song, “When You Were Young,” remains one of my favorites off the “Sam’s Town” album and one of my favorite songs to experience in a live setting.

I distinctly recall sitting in my sister’s kitchen in St. Louis, browsing the internet when I decided to visit The Killers’ website, stumbling upon a teaser for “When You Were Young.”

I sat and listened to the teaser over and over again, awaiting its release.

That song built my anticipa-

tion for the rest of the album, and I eagerly waited for the rest of the album to drop.

Finally, that fall, the album was released.

I remember waking up early the morning the album was to be released so I could download it from iTunes and burn it onto a CD and download it onto my iPod shuffle.

The moment I hit play, Brandon Flowers’ synth pads kicked in, sending a chill throughout my body and grabbing my full attention, almost as if someone reached out, grabbed me and shook me.

“Sam’s Town” the song confirmed what “When You Were Young” had hinted at – that The Killers had shifted from a British sound on “Hot Fuss” to a more Americana sound on the second album.

I think about that first listen to “Sam’s Town” almost every time

I hear the song now. And while I always wish I could go back and experience that feeling again, it also amazes me how long ago that was.

It is almost 11 years ago now that I first listened to that song, yet I can remember it like it was yesterday.

So much has changed in those 11 years.

I’ve gone from downloading songs and burning them onto CDs and loading them onto my first-generation iPod shuffle to only storing my music on my iPhone 6.

I’ve also grown from a first-semester senior in high school unsure of what my future would hold to a 28-year-old adult living in the real world.

And while there may be aspects of my current life that don’t match up to what my 17-year-old self had envisioned for my future, I wouldn’t change anything.

It’s funny how I can remember exactly how I felt listening to a certain song 11 years ago, but can’t remember how I thought, at that time, my life would play out.

I’m sure I had grand plans of having a high profile job in a big city.

But, rarely do our plans work out exactly like we think. Life comes with various twists and turns, any of which can set us off down a different path.

My advice to the upcoming senior class would be this: Dream big, set high goals, but don’t be disappointed if life takes you down a different path than what you envisioned.

Life is a journey, so enjoy the adventure.

O.J. on TV HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Yakov Smirnov returned to Los Angeles from a world tour Saturday to perform for a soldout audience at the Main Room Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood. I opened the show and warmed up the crowd for Yakov. I’ve been subpoenaed to testify in the Senate next Tuesday.

O.J. Simpson’s parole hearing before the Nevada Parole Board will be televised Thursday. It is causing a lot of soul-searching at CNN. Viewers will be on the edge of their seats to see if O.J. is able to break Trump’s run at Lou Gehrig’s record of leading the news every day with the Russia thing.

A Los Angeles woman slipped and fell while taking a selfie at an L.A. art exhibit and destroyed $200,000 worth of artwork Friday. It’s nothing new. The Venus de Milo had two arms before Da Vinci saw her put her elbow through the Last Supper while she was painting a self-portrait.

Tennis star Roger Federer made history Sunday winning his eighth Wimbledon Championship in London at the grand old age of 35.

I went jogging on Sunset Boulevard and got arrested for loitering.

Senator John McCain had emergency surgery Monday, forcing a delay in the vote for the GOP health care plan. Other lawmakers on Capitol Hill face physical challenges. Nancy Pelosi says that her diagnosis of dementia will not interfere with her plans to impeach President Donald W. Bush.

President Trump declared a Made in America theme week with a White House lawn display of products, cars, tractors, and trucks manufactured in the U.S. It drew CEOs from all over the country. The most popular display at the White House Monday was the earth-mover, but she was Made in Slovenia.

Russian diplomats Friday sought to retrieve their New York and Maryland compounds seized by Obama after the election. Russia calls the U.S. seizure a government violation of private property laws. It’s like the U.S. and Russia changed sides at halftime and are defending the other goalpost now.

GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell neared the magic number of 50 votes needed to pass the GOP health care plan

Monday despite loud complaints

by Democrats that it’s heartless.

The GOP health care plan is the release of O.J. It offers you no frills surgery right there on your patio.

Al Gore is making the rounds of TV talk shows to promote his new apocalyptic climate change documentary, “An Inconvenient Sequel,” which is released next week. He kids himself for his Gore wooden personality.

Al Gore remains an inspiration to every American who suffers from Dutch Elm Disease.

The California legislature is preparing a bill that would make California a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants from being deported by federal agents. Don’t blame the immigrants. Migrant workers don’t ask for much, they just want the same temporary worker program that Congress enjoys.

FOOD

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, July 19, 2017

Alternative white wine pairings for popular summer meals (BPT) – Summer means long days, bountiful sunshine and fresh fare to tantalize the taste buds.

Locally grown produce, grilled meats and seafood, and new takes on classic dishes like pizza and pasta make this the season to raise a glass and toast to family, friends and the sharing of delicious food.

White wine is a classic summer drink that never goes out of style. However, you may want to look beyond the traditional chardonnays and sauvignon blancs when creating the perfect pairings for your summer menus.

If you want alternative white wines for upcoming meal pairings, the following options are guaranteed to satisfy whether you’re making an intimate meal for two or are hosting a large outdoor event.

Perfect pairing: Pinot gris and grilled poultry and seafood Wine to try: Wairau River Pinot Gris 2015 Marlborough Grilling poultry and seafood infuses amazing flavor, making it a popular main dish for summer dining. A pinot gris is a fantastic dry white wine that complements these types of dishes. With the rich fresh flavor of pear and green apple mingling with touches of spice, this wine adds weight to the palate and completes the dining experience.

Perfect pairing: Chenin blanc with salads and fresh vegetables Wine to try: Protea Chenin Blanc 2016 Western Cape Whether you regularly visit the farmers market, subscribe to a CSA or grow your own produce in a home garden, fresh vegetables are abundant throughout the summer season. When enjoying a luscious salad, pour yourself a glass of chenin blanc.

This lively wine with notes of stone fruit have a light body that enhances without overwhelming fresh fare.

Perfect pairing: Garganega with shellfish, fish and white pizza Wine to try: Anselmi San Vincenzo 2016 Veneto Summer is the ideal time for new takes on favorite dishes. For example, try a white pizza for extraordinary, outside-the-box flavor. White pizza typically features a garlic sauce that is then topped with loads of vegetables. This light take on pizza calls for a crisp, medium-bodied

wine made from garganega grapes. (This dry variety is also a great option for shellfish and fish dishes.)

Perfect pairing: Carricante with pesto dishes and white fish ceviche Wine to try: Alta Mora Etna Bianco 2015 Wines made from the carricante grape are sure to please. Fresh and fruity, with touches of earthy minerality, this silky, full-bodied wine is a wonderful pair to the pesto dishes that are so popular during summertime. (Also ideal for seafood and shellfish, particularly fish ceviche.)

Perfect pairing: Falanghina with pasta made with citrus- and cream-based sauces Wine to try: Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina 2015 Inspired by warm weather, chefs often create a citrus- or cream-based pasta dish on their summer menus. You too can enjoy this quintessential summer trend by cooking your own recipe from the comfort of your home and then enjoying it with a big glass of Falanghina. Fresh and well-balanced, this wine blends flavors of flowers and fruit, and has a clean finish.

Simplest Shrimp Kebabs Serves 6 Pick and choose the vegetables that are freshest at the market, and alternate them with plump shrimp on skewers to create a colorful warm-weather entrée.

Ingredients 1 1/2 pounds raw peeled and cleaned jumbo (16 to 20 count) shrimp 3 cups mixed vegetables, such as red onions, bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, or briefly cooked cauliflower or broccoli, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces, or whole cherry tomatoes 1/2 cup Citrus Basil Sauce (recipe follows) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Lemon wedges, for serving Fourteen 6-inch or eight 12-inch wooden or metal skewers Directions 1. Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Add the vegetables, then toss with the Citrus Basil Sauce. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.

2. If you are using wooden skewers, at least 30 minutes before cooking soak them in water to cover in order to prevent them from burning.

3. Thread the shrimp

and veggies on skewers, creating appealing patterns. (The 6-inch skewers will hold about 3 pieces of shrimp, alternating with veggies; for 12-inch skewers, double that amount.)

Lightly salt and pepper the skewers.

4. Preheat the grill to medium-high.

5. Grill the kebabs until the shrimp is cooked through and everything

has a nice grill-marked exterior, about 3 minutes per side. Serve the kebabs hot, with wedges of lemon.

If you used metal skewers they will be hot, so make sure your guests know.

HINTS FROM HELOISE An impressive dish of shrimp

HOROSCOPE For Thursday, July 20, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)Expect a surprise at home today, especially with a parent or an older family member.

Stock the fridge just in case, because when unexpected things occur within the family, people want to eat. (Plus, surprise company might drop by.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Be careful, because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Slow down and be mindful of everything you say and do. Keep your eyes open. Be smart.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Something unexpected will affect your cash, earnings and possessions today. You might find money; you might lose money. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. (It’s that kind of day.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Think before you speak today, because you feel restless, impulsive and perhaps upset. Remember: Once the words have left your mouth, you can’t get them back.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a day where you feel vaguely restless and as if you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Guard against rash actions.

Just sit this one out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A friend might surprise you today, or you might meet a real character. Something to do with groups and meetings will be unexpected - perhaps a cancellation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Tread carefully when talking to parents and bosses today, because they might explode or say something you least expect. Don’t take it personally.

Don’t quit your day job.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your travel plans will be interrupted by cancellations, rescheduling or something you least expect. You also might meet someone unusual from another country.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Stay in touch with your banking needs and anything to do with shared property and inheritances today, because something will affect these areas of your life. Know what is happening!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A partner or close friend might throw you a curveball today. This person might want to change the status of your relationship. Who knows?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)A health concern might suddenly arise today. For those of you who are working, your work routine might change due

to computer glitches, power outages, staff shortages - whatever. Yikes!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Parents should be extra vigilant today because this is an accident-prone day for their kids. Meanwhile, expect social plans, including sports events, to change or have surprises.

YOU BORN TODAY You are charming and sometimes shy. You make an excellent companion and confidant for

others. Because you’re beginning a new nine-year cycle, this is the year to clarify your goals and begin to act on them.

Hard work may be necessary to get a new venture moving.

Fortunately, you will feel physically strong. This is a powerful year! Use it!

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: You have a recipe for a SHRIMP DIJON DISH that I absolutely love. Since I’m trying to impress my new husband with some of my cooking skills, I was hoping you’d reprint that recipe. I lost my copy when my husband and I moved after the wedding. – Mimi F., Lakeland, Fla. Mimi, I’m happy to oblige.

Here it is: Shrimp Dijon 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1 1/2 pounds peeled, deveined shrimp 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 1/4 cup flour 1 1/2 cups milk 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1 6-ounce package cream cheese, softened Melt butter or margarine in a frying pan. Add shrimp and onions and saute for 3 minutes; DO NOT BROWN. Sprinkle flour into the mixture while thinning the mixture with the milk a little at a time to avoid lumping. Add mustard, nutmeg, salt and pepper, and cook for 3-5 minutes. Stir in cream cheese until blended;

warm through but do not boil. Serve over rice.

If you like this recipe, I have several more in my Main Dishes and More pamphlet. Just go to my website, www. Heloise.com, to order it, or send a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope, along with $3, to: Heloise/Main Dishes and More, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. There’s nothing that tastes as good as warm, home cooking at any time of the year. What a great way to enjoy time with your closest friends and your family.

– Heloise SALT OF THE EARTH Dear Readers: Besides flavoring food, salt has a variety of uses. Here are some you might want to try: * Sprinkle salt on areas where grass or weeds grow unwanted, such as between steppingstones. Then pour hot water over the salt. It’s an eco-friendly and inexpensive solution. * Worried that there might be fleas in your carpet? Sprinkle salt on your carpets and leave it overnight. In the morning, vacuum up thoroughly. Wash dog bedding in salt water. * Stung by a bee? Wet the area and pour salt over it.

SUDOKU

* Ants becoming a problem? Sprinkle salt in doorways, on windowsills and any other place where they might be coming in.

Two new head coaches and an assistant brought into the fold n

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

Southwestern Community College Athletic Director Todd Lorensen has been busy with more than a few responsibilities excluding his role as head men’s basketball coach of a defending national championship program.

Lorensen has had his hands full leading and assisting several of the school’s sports programs to find new leadership.

No official announcements have been made on the school website, but Lo-

rensen recently confirmed the hiring of Marty Maynes as the school’s head softball coach, Trey Bruton as the head cross country coach and assistant to track and field coach Jordan Strofaci, and Ryan Palser as assistant men’s and women’s golf coach.

Maynes follows Paige Cassady, who resided in Creston as a coach for just over a year.

The father of two girls, one in middle school and one of high school age, only came into the game of softball within the last five years, but took to the game with a passion quickly.

“I originally just started as a volunteer because my kids played,” Maynes said.”

I wanted to coach them and I just fell in love with coach-

ing the sport and decided to continue to up my game as my kids upped their game.”

He has been a coach with Iowa Premier Fastpitch and has travelled all over the country, coaching girls of NCAA Division I talent and squaring off with talent just as strong.

Maynes wanted to match the speed with which his daughters were picking up the game.

“I realized real quick I Maynes had to become a student of the game if I wanted to keep pace with them,” Maynes said. “I spent a lot of time at camps and coaches clinics and

learning from people who are the best in the business.”

He is no stranger to high level athletics. Maynes graduated from Southeast Polk High School as a multi-sport athlete, and competed at Grand View University for baseball and Central College as a wrestler before persistent injuries forced him to drop collegiate athletics. He finished off his education at Grand View.

Maynes resides in Pleasant Hill, and plans on commuting for softball for the foreseeable future.

He would like to move closer to Creston if possible, and plans on prioritizing personal relationships as well as athletic growth with his athletes.

“As a college coach, I think you have the ability

to change people’s lives,” Maynes said.

“This opportunity came around I thought that it’d be pretty exciting to tackle a program that historically hasn’t been phenomenal, hasn’t been bad, but I always like a challenge where there’s a little bit of room for improvement. See if I can go in and do a little bit of good.”

Bruton to lead After the departure of former cross country and track and field coach Nick Ekel to Graceland, SWCC was in need of a cross country coach.

The Spartans signed Jordan Strofaci to both roles, but Strofaci’s background was more geared toward COACHES | 9A

Emotions flow in postgame huddle Departing seniors guided improvement

GLENWOOD — A onerun district championship game decided in extra innings leaves everyone involved physically and emotionally drained.

Especially when you have to say good-bye to three respected senior teammates.

After coaches Steve Birchard and Brandon Phipps addressed the Creston team gathered in right field after Monday’s 6-5 loss to Denison-Schleswig, senior Kadon Hulett held court.

Surrounded by fellow seniors Cody Crawford and Brenden McDowell, the underclassmen on the Panther squad who will return next year stood transfixed on the words of their senior leader.

There were misty eyes and some sniffles, depicting the emotion of the realization that this was the last time

they would be together as a group in competition.

Hulett said expectations were low going into the season, with some members of his class from previous yeasr not on the team in 2017, resulting in key roles held by young, inexperienced players.

There were some rough times, especially early. The

Panthers started out 5-9.

Three losses in a row to Interstate 35 and Harlan in a doubleheader came by a combined score of 37-7.

Later in the season, Creston lost to Atlantic 16-0.

Two wins over Denison-Schleswig were part of the team’s only three-game winning streak in mid-June in a 14-20 season. But, since

June 15, the Panthers began to display more competitive baseball, going 9-11 in a stretch heading into Monday’s district title game.

Hulett said he was proud of how the team had stuck together and improved. Later, he explained his feelings in a postgame interview.

“It was just a matter of people buying in,” Hulett

said. “At the start of the year nobody would have given us a chance to get into the ninth inning of a district championship game. Nobody.”

Despite the bumps in the road, this mix of veterans and young rookies to varsity ball seemed to grow closer as a unit.

“We believed the whole time,” Hulett said. “We had losing streaks. We’d win a couple of games and then lose. But honestly, this whole year, I didn’t feel like we were really down or on the verge of no return. We showed how far we came in this (district) tournament.”

Crawford and McDowell were likewise steadying forces. Crawford was versatile, moving from first base to shortstop and the outfield, depending on who was pitching. He batted second in the order, right behind McDowell in the leadoff position. Hulett was the cleanup batter, after junior Jaden Driskell.

Yankees get Frazier, Robertson, Kahnle from White Sox

BY MIKE HELFGOT Associated Press

CHICAGO (AP) — The New York Yankees made an early push for playoff run Tuesday night, acquiring infielder Todd Frazier and relievers David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle from the Chicago White Sox for reliever Tyler Clippard and three prospects.

The Yankees currently hold the second AL wildcard spot and are close to the AL East-leading Boston Red Sox. As the July 31 nonwaiver trade deadline nears, the lastplace White Sox made their second big trade in a week — last Thursday, they sent ace Jose Quintana to the crosstown Cubs for four minor leaguers.

Along with Clippard, the White Sox got left-handed pitcher Ian Clarkin and outfielders Blake Rutherford and Tito Polo. Chicago also said it would call up top prospect Yoan Moncada for Wednesday’s game against the Dodgers.

With the Yankees at Minnesota on Wednesday afternoon, it was not certain whether the new arrivals would make it in time for the game.

Frazier was a two-time All-Star with Cincinnati, but is in the midst of a down year. He could

play first base, where the Yankees have struggled all season, or he could remain at third base and have Chase Headley shift across the diamond.

T h e 31-yearold Fraz i e r , who’s f r o m New Jersey, was p u l l e d Frazier from the starting lineup shortly before Chicago hosted the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night. He spent the early part of the game in the dugout talking Robertson, a former closer with the Yankees.

Frazier is hitting .207 with 16 home runs and 44 RBIs. Last year, he set career highs with 40 homers and 98 RBIs. He is eligible for free agency after this season.

The 32-year-old Robertson is 4-2 with a 2.70 ERA, and has been successful on 13 of 14 save chances.

Robertson made his major league debut with the Yankees in 2008. The righty had 39 saves in 2014, then became a free agent and signed a fouryear contract with the White Sox. Robertson joins a bullpen that includes ace closer Aroldis Chapman

and All-Star setup man Dellin Betances, who has struggled lately.

Kahnle, a 27-year-old righty, was 1-3 with a 2.50 ERA in 37 games, covering 36 innings. He’s struck out 60 and walked only seven.

Clippard was 1-5 with a 4.95 ERA in 40 games.

The 32-year-old righty had hit a rough patch recently.

The 20-year-old Rutherford was hitting .281 with 30 RBIs and 25 stolen bases at Class A Charleston. He was a South Atlantic League All-Star this year after being a first-round draft pick.

Clarkin, a 22-year-old lefty, was 4-4 with a 2.61 ERA as a starter at Class Tampa. The 22-year-old Polo was hitting a combined .307 with 22 steals at Class A Tampa and Double-A Trenton.

Moncada, a 22-year-old infielder, was acquired from the Red Sox for ace Chris Sale in the offseason and is hitting .282 with 12 homers, 36 RBIs and 17 stolen bases at Triple-A Charlotte.

Boston spent $63 million — including a record $31.5 million bonus — to sign Moncada in 2015 after he left Cuba, and he was recently named the top prospect in the game

by Baseball America.

sprinters.

Now, SWCC has its man for its cross country runners.

Trey Bruton, a native of Meridon, Kansas, will take the helms and will move to Creston soon.

Bruton was a recent graduate of Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas, an interesting quirk that caught his attention when looking for jobs to step into coaching.

Bruton also was a cross country volunteer coach at Western Illinois University

in the season, he did not take on the heavy pitching duties in the first few weeks that he held down the tournament stretch. Crawford and McDowell were valuable on the mound during those weeks.

Crawford handled six innings of Monday’s district championship game, giving way to junior Dustin Merritt after throwing 101 pitch-

will instructing in Physics at a nearby area college.

Bruton at one point nearly took a job at a college in Alabama, but found Creston more to his liking, and closer to Bruton home.

He will start out in residential life at SWCC, but will stay on the lookout for instructional opportunities.

“It (Creston) just seems like a good place and everybody has been real friendly

es in a 3-3 game. McDowell was ready to take over if the game went to the 10th inning. The Monarchs held on to win, 6-5, in nine innings.

D e spite the sub-.500 record, c o a c h Birchard said the season e n d e d Birchard on a high note with strong performances. Prior to tournament play, the games in-

talking to them through communications and when I’ve been up there,” Bruton said.

“I came from a small town.

About 600 is my hometown.

Creston’s not real large and the surrounding area there’s not anything that’s too large.

It just seems like a good small town type feel. A good fit for me.”

Bruton realizes the program needs new talent, he heads into his first season optimistic about the program’s outlook.

“I think we have a good chance at competing well with everybody else in the conference and also qualifying for nationals,” Bruton

cluded a 4-1 victory at Class 2A second-ranked Treynor, and a 4-1 senior night win over ADM. “This was a good group of guys,” Birchard said, sitting alone in the first base dugout after Monday’s long battle. “This team has really come together. They get along. They don’t fight and bicker. They had great senior leadership, which is really important. Now, somebody else is going to have to step up next year.

“We’re really going to miss those guys.”

Bruton looks to place a heavy emphasis on growing athletes away from running.

didn’t at that high a level.

It’ll be nice to have his ultra competitive abilities.”

Palser will work more extensively on the side of strength and conditioing, something that North noted that Palser was much more qualified for as a student of kineseology.

His experience golfing across the state, and resulting knowledge of courses the Spartans will play on, could play big dividends.

“Having him walking around the fairway side by side with them is going to have this confidence go through the roof,” North said.

CLS1 10A Kershaw gains 15th victory CHICAGO (AP) — Clayton Kershaw pitched seven scoreless innings for his major league-leading 15th victory and the Los Angeles Dodgers edged the Chicago White Sox 1-0 Tuesday night for their 10th straight victory.

Kershaw (15-2) made his first start since the AllStar break, scattering seven hits and a walk to post his 11th win in a row.

The Dodgers, with the best record in baseball at 65-29, have won 30 of 34.

This is the second 10-game winning streak of the season for the NL West leaders.

Relievers Pedro Baez and Kenley Jansen closed it out. Jansen survived a deep fly by Matt Davidson to record his 24th save in 24 chances.

Chris Taylor had four hits and scored on rookie Cody Bellinger’s single in the first inning off Miguel Gonzalez (4-9).

White Sox infielder Todd Frazier was pulled from the starting lineup amid speculation that he would be traded along with relievers David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle to the New York Yankees.

Kershaw had not pitched since going the distance in a 5-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals on July 9, the final day before the All-Star break.

Gonzalez (4-9) worked in and out of trouble throughout his six innings, allowing five hits and five walks but keeping Chicago in the game by inducing three of the Dodgers’ four double plays.

Both teams struggled with runners in scoring position, with the Dodgers going 1 for 10 and the White Sox 1 for 8.

Chicago’s best chance off Kershaw, who had not allowed more than six hits in a game since a no-decision on May 28, came in the the sixth.

With runners on first and third and one out, Tyler Saladino bunted a safety squeeze attempt into the air for an easy play by catcher Yasmani Grandal, then Kershaw ended the rally by getting Yolmer Sanchez to ground out.

Sanchez was a late addition to the lineup in place of Frazier, who was announced as a healthy scratch about 40 minutes before game time.

The 31-year-old Frazier (.207, 16 home runs, 44 RBIs) is considered an obvious trade candidate for the rebuilding White Sox. He will become a free agent after the season.

DNR Outdoor news Rural grants AMES – The Iowa Department of Natural Resources forestry section’s fire program, working in coordination with the U.S. Forest Service has grant money available for Iowa’s rural fire departments to help battle wildfires.

The grants offer funding assistance for wildfire suppression equipment, slide in units, hoses, nozzles, adapters, portable tanks and pumps, personal protective equipment and communications equipment.

Additionally, if a fire department has a special need that can be tied directly to wildfire suppression, this grant allows for such special requests.

The grant provides 50 percent reimbursement for wildland fire equipment with a maximum reimbursement grant of $3,500 per department.

Gail Kantak, state wildland fire supervisor for the Iowa DNR, reminds fire departments that they should send her a Wildland Fire Report whenever they respond to a wildland fire or provide assistance to a prescribed or controlled wildland fire. Departments actively returning these reports can receive priority points in the Volunteer Fire Assistance grant application scoring process.

“It is important for rural fire departments to return these reports so we can assess the actual demands on our rural fire departments as a result of wildfire activity,” Kantak said. “The wildland fire reports are compiled locally and nationally and reported to Congress.”

The Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant applications

are due Oct. 15, 2017.

In mid-June, fire departments were mailed information about the Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant. The grant application package and the Wildland Fire Report form are also available online at www.iowadnr.gov/ fire.

For more information, contact Gail Kantak at gail. kantak@dnr.iowa.gov, 515233-8067 or 515-233-1161.

Invasive species Registration is now open for an educational forest field day taking place at Hickory Hill Park in Iowa City, Sept. 30, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Backyard Forest Invasive Species Field Day will cover issues related to invasive species including identification and management, as well as establishment of healthy native habitat.

The event is free and open to the public. Landowners are encouraged to join the experts to learn how to improve their woodlands and become advocates for healthy forests.

The field day is sponsored by the U.S. Forest Service, Trees Forever and the Iowa DNR, in partnership with Iowa City Parks and Recreation. For planning purposes, pre-registration is required. Detailed registration information can be found at http://www.treesforever.org/ backyardforest.

Avenson Range The archery range at Vol-

ga River State Recreation Area, in Fayette County, was dedicated Avenson Archery Range on July 18.

Don Avenson, for whom the range is named, lived a short distance from the Volga River area and was instrumental in protecting it as a state recreation area.

From 1972-1990, Avenson served as a member of the Iowa Legislature in the House of Representatives.

During this time, Avenson’s primary political focus was on environmental legislation and among his most noteworthy achievements were the Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) program, one of the most comprehensive conservation programs in Iowa, and the Groundwater Protection Act. Don Avenson, 72, died May 19.

“Because of Don’s significant accomplishments in protecting Iowa’s natural resources and the fact he was an avid bow hunter and archer, we felt it fitting that the range should be named in his honor,” says Chuck Gipp, director of the Iowa DNR. Through the partnership of the local Echo Valley Archers and Volga River State Recreation Area, the area has become known for its archery opportunities. Together they play host the annual Reinhart Target R100 – a national 3D archery event, drawing more than 600 archers each year.

The archery range is located west of the Albany Campgound off Hill Road.

Refreshments are provided

by Echo Valley Archers.

All three banks sponsoring this event believe one of the most important life skills children need to learn is how to manage money. The habits and know-how children develop while growing up could lead to a life of financial security.
