Massage therapist opens at Carroll chiropractic building

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA staff reporter

khaugen@crestonnews.com

Bethany Campbell didn’t always know she wanted to pursue massage therapy, but a single conversation with her is evidence she made the right choice. She’s even-tempered with a soft, soothing voice. She can’t stop smiling when discussing massage.

And she speaks more about the wellbeing of her clients than herself.

“I’ve always loved to work with people, and to do something that offers pain relief and comfort is just an incredible thing,” said Camp-

bell, 24, of Creston. “Going through school, I was blown away by how many health and emotional benefits there are to massage – to both give and receive it.”

As of July 7, Campbell has her own business, Journey Massage Studio LLC, located within Carroll Family Chiropractic. Though she is separate from Carroll, a chiropractic and massage business, Campbell and Dr. Gabe Carroll agree their services complement each other.

“Dr. Carroll still does massage, but he had seen an increase in massage clients

and wanted to have another massage therapist working nearby,” Campbell said.

“Massage and chiropractic go so well together, and it’s a great opportunity to work alongside colleagues in the health field.”

Campbell received her massage therapist license in June from Body Wisdom Massage Therapy School in Urbandale. She is versed in several massage techniques, including Swedish relaxation, deep tissue, hot and cold stone therapies and Please see MASSAGE, Page 2A

Battle begins

Corning hosts sixth annual BBQ cookoff ■

CORNING — If you want another way to have fun this summer, check out the “Battle of the BBQ” cook-off in Corning.

The cook-off, in its sixth year in the Adams County town, has four categories for those entering: beef brisket, pork butt, ribs and chicken, as well as a wing contest.

“I traveled and barbecued to all the other events,” said Chad Johnston, organizer. “I thought it would be a good idea to have a barbecue event and bring people to the little town of Corning.”

The summer event will be 5 p.m. Friday to 2 a.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday on Benton Street.

The first year 250 people attended the cook-off between 21 teams, with a steady rise of participants and those attending. During the 2014 event, 1,300 people attended.

“Every year it’s increased by 100 (people) or better,” Johnston said. “We have six or seven scheduled class reunions that night, too, so that works pretty well.”

Currently, there are 26 teams registered for the cook-off.

“If people want to compete in the contest, they can set up anytime on Friday,” Johnston said.

Contestants start the battle Friday with the people’s choice wing contest. The contest, in its fourth year, consists of each team being given a pile of chicken wings and cooking them how they choose. This contest is more in the spirit of fun.

The wing contest starts at 7 p.m. Friday. Johnston said event-goers chowed through 4,800 wings in two hours, and this year there will be 6,500 wings purchased.

“It helps us draw a crowd, and it’s some down time for the cookers since they haven’t prepped their real meal yet,” Johnston said.

BBQ cook-off Once Saturday comes around, the real cook-off beings. Teams line Benton Avenue in Corning near Central Park, with a stage and beer garden down one street and cookers lining the other three.

“We fence and gate the whole thing off. We’re in the middle of an intersection,” Johnston said. “All the contestants that come, we give

CORNING — Jon Rubendall, 41, and James Bost, 39, have pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder in the homicide of Allen Pafford.

Both Rubendall and Bost Bost submitted written arraignm e n t s with pleas of not guilty.

Rubendall’s pretrial conference is set for Feb. 1, with jury trial set for March 2.

Bost’s pretrial conference

with jury trial set for Oct. 7.

Trial dates are tentative.

Rubendall and Bost were charged during a Department of Criminal Investigation case involving the homicide of Pafford, 44, who was found dead in his bedroom June 20 in Nodaway.

According to an Adams County Sheriff report, at approximately 11:19 a.m.

June 20, Pafford’s mother called 911 after finding Pafford with an apparent bullet wound to the back of his head. A fired 9mm cartridge casing and a bullet that appeared to have come from a Hi-Point handgun were near the body, and a June 22 autopsy performed by the associate state medical examiner ruled Pafford’s death a homicide.

There are also door prizes available during the event donated by Budweiser, and trophies will be provided

by Berning Metal Design of Creston.

“The barbecue world is huge when you get into it,” Johnston said. “I hope it grows. My goal is to put 40 cookers on Main Street, to just fill it clear full of contestants. That’s a lot, but I just like to see a big event, basically.”

All donations go toward different organizations in the area, such as Corning Fire Department, Corning Chamber of Commerce and the local boy scouts.

“Small towns like Corning, there’s really nothing to do.

They don’t have anything.

So, just to have something like that, it’s really big,” Johnston said. “I don’t think we could actually quit if we wanted to, ‘cause they’d get mad at us.”

The cost is $10 to get in to the beer garden starting at 5 p.m. Friday. The cost also includes wings, which starts at 7 p.m., and the street dance at 9 p.m., with music provided by Rough Cut. There will also be music provided by DJ Randy and Holly Cooper until the street dance begins.

To enter, the cost is $100 cash per team, and pre-registration is highly recommended. The team then competes in the chicken wing contest, and the four-category cookoff.

On Saturday, teams turn in their meats every half hour starting at 10 a.m., ending on a sweet note with dessert at noon. From noon to 2 p.m., patrons can purchase a plate for $7 and get a barbecue sandwich, beans and chips.

People’s choice wing contest winners will be announced at 1:30 p.m., and barbecue contest winners will be announced at 1:45 p.m. Saturday.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s John Kasich, a blunt governor who embraces conservative ideals but disdains the political sport of bashing Hillary Rodham Clinton, is to become the 16th notable Republican to enter the 2016 presidential race.

The second-term governor and former congressman declares his candidacy Tuesday at Ohio State University, where as a freshman political science major in 1970, he audaciously wrote a letter that landed him a 20-minute audience with President Richard Nixon.

His entry nearly rounds out an unusually diverse Republican lineup with two Hispanics, an African-American, one woman and several younger candidates alongside older white men such as Kasich, 63, and Jeb Bush, 62.

The field is so crowded it’s

unclear whether Kasich will qualify for the GOP’s first debate in his home state in just two weeks.

“How did we end up with 20 people running for president?” Kasich asks with a smile in a video recently released by his political action committee. He cites his experience with the federal budget, national security and his leadership of Ohio. “Of all those people running, there’s not one that has experience in all those critical three areas.”

Kasich (pronounced KAY’-sik) ran for president once before, briefly seeking the 2000 nomination after he helped seal a federal balanced budget deal as House Budget chairman in 1997. Since then he put in nearly a decade as an investment executive and more than four years of strong-willed and often abrasive leadership as governor.

Gov. Branstad seeks review of security at National Guard Gov. Kasich is 16th into GOP race

DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad asked the Iowa National Guard on Monday to review security at its facilities after last week’s shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Iowa National Guard Maj. Gen Timothy Orr is to assess the protection for those working at the Guard’s military facilities and recruitment sites, but there is no deadline to report back to Branstad. The governor’s spokesman, Jimmy Centers, said the governor would wait to hear from Orr before making any decisions.

The Republican governor also plans to ask the federal government to review the protections at all military facilities during this week’s meeting in Washington of the Council of Governors, who advise federal officials on security matters.

Last Thursday, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez

opened fire at a military recruiting office and a Navy-Marine operations center in Chattanooga, killing four Marines. A sailor wounded in the attack died Saturday.

The shootings have raised questions about why military personnel at recruiting and reserve offices aren’t allowed to have guns. Military officials have said security at recruiting and reserve centers will be reviewed.

State National Guard Col. Greg Hapfood said there is security in place at the more than 50 armories across the state, with armed guards at some locations.

He said the National Guard recruiting offices are nearly all in armories, so they have more security than other types of recruiting offices.

Hapgood said the Guard will review the current security and work with the governor.

He’s expected to deliver a Tuesday announcement speech from notes but without a teleprompter, in line with his unscripted personality.

Kasich will tell an anticipated crowd of about 4,400 that Americans of all political stripes share many common values — such as integrity, honesty and personal responsibility — and call on people to work together and help others as a way to rise above their anxiety about the economic future, according to a person close to his campaign.

He requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

Kasich will also tell his personal story in Tuesday’s event speech and pitch himself as having the qualifications, character and enthusiasm necessary to lead the nation.

Kasich unique personality also sets him apart from his

competitors.

The man who once figuratively told lobbyists to get on his bus or he’d run them over and who called a police officer an “idiot” helped erase a budget deficit projected at nearly $8 billion when he entered office, boost Ohio’s rainy-day fund to a historic high and seen private-sector employment rebound to its post-recession level. This, through budget cutting, privatization of parts of Ohio’s government and other, often business-style innovations.

Unions that turned back an effort by Kasich and fellow Republicans to limit public workers’ collective bargaining rights say Kasich’s successes have come at a cost to local governments and schools, and that new Ohio jobs lack the pay and benefits of the ones they replaced. They plan a protest outside Tuesday’s launch.

Trump’s self-paid presidential run means he’s not going away WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump faced an avalanche of fresh criticism Monday for questioning Sen. John McCain’s heroism. But he’s getting no pressure at all from the one community that could push a candidate out of the 2016 presidential race: political donors.

The billionaire businessman is paying for his own campaign, and that means Republicans may have him around far longer than some party

leaders would like.

“Nobody leaves a race because they get tired, or because they think they don’t have the votes. They leave the race because they run out of money,” said Frank Luntz, a GOP pollster. “Donald Trump will never run out of money, and that makes him incredibly powerful.”

Indeed, Republican operatives suggest that Trump enjoys a rare freedom.

Because he doesn’t need

tens of millions of dollars from wealthy donors — a notoriously risk-averse crowd — the standard rules of politics simply don’t apply. He can afford, literally, to continue dropping the verbal bombs that have defined his presidential campaign since the day he joined the 2016 contest in June.

At his formal announcement last month, Trump portrayed immigrants from Mexico as criminals and rapists. Then, at a conservative

summit in Iowa last weekend, he dismissed McCain’s reputation as a war hero, saying of the Arizona senator who was held five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, “I like people who weren’t captured.”

Trump defended his comments repeatedly over the weekend, but appeared to toning down his rhetoric late Monday.

“If there was a misunderstanding, I would totally take that back,” he said in an eve-

ning interview on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor.” On “CBS Evening News,” he said, “I don’t know if I made a mistake.”

Critics began piling on Trump immediately after he made his comments on

Saturday, and new voices emerged on Monday, from veterans groups, Republican colleagues and President Barack Obama’s spokesman, who defended McCain and called on Trump to apologize.

OPINION

The grotesque business of Planned Parenthood It’s hard to have an honest debate about abortion in this country, when the issue is so often shrouded in evasion and deception.

That’s why we owe a debt to Deborah Nucatola. She is willing to tell it the way it is. She eschews careful talking points meant to obscure rather than illuminate and doesn’t worry about discomfiting the squeamish. On abortion, she is the great clarifier.

Nucatola is the Planned Parenthood official — and abortion doctor — whose frank discussion of the destruction of unborn babies was captured on secret video by an anti-abortion group.

She was drawn out over lunch by two actors posing as people interested in buying organs from abortion clinics, and speaks nonchalantly of the unspeakable. If watching the video doesn’t turn your stomach, you are either morally insen-

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

sate, or angling to be designated Planned Parenthood’s Person of the Year.

The episode raises a public-relations challenge unique to that organization: How do you spin one of your officials casually talking about aborting babies and harvesting their organs for sale (“a lot of people want liver”) while sipping red wine and enjoying a nice meal?

Well, the first rule is not to refer to an aborted baby as a baby, or in any way to acknowledge his humanity. A PR firm doing work for Planned Parenthood – and surely earning every disreputable penny — called the body parts discussed in the video “the products of con-

ception.”

The other is to talk about science and medicine, which are assumed to be invested with a talismanic power that trumps all other considerations. “In health care,” Planned Parenthood said in a statement, “patients sometimes want to donate tissue to scientific research that can help lead to medical breakthroughs.”

So nothing to see here, folks. But abortion is not health care -- it is an overwhelmingly elective procedure undertaken to end a life. The baby isn’t a patient. The baby is a victim and has no choice in what happens to its organs after a Planned Parenthood abortionist does his work.

Critics of Planned Parenthood have focused on the potential illegalities revealed in the video. This is a mistake. The federal statute on selling fetal parts for profit was written by liberal lion Henry Waxman, who had no interest in forbidding the trade.

The true import of the Nucatola video is its casual moral grotesqueness. Manipulating a baby in the womb to kill it in a fashion best suited to selling off its organs, as Nucatola describes, is a repellant act.

This isn’t merely aesthetics. Yes, as Planned Parenthood’s apologists argue, almost any surgical procedure is unsightly. But other surgical procedures don’t involve deliberately ending a life and treating its body as a commodity.

Such is the business that Planned Parenthood is in. The group loves to portray itself as just a friendly neighborhood provider of health services. Abortion is left out of this sanitized version.

Nucatola provides the more accurate picture. She talks of how Planned Parenthood performs 40 percent of the abortions in the country and how clinics are stuck with the parts of dead babies (“tis-

sue”) that they have trouble discarding.

An organization that exists in large part to perform abortion — about a million every three years — shouldn’t receive a dime in public funding. And the best way to limit the sale of the parts of aborted babies is to save the babies from being aborted in the first place, which proposed bans on late-term abortions in Congress would at least take a step toward doing.

We have long been told how unborn babies are “blobs of tissue” that deserve no moral respect or legal protection. Yet here is an official from the leading abortion provider in the country talking of their livers, lungs and hearts, and of preserving those organs for their value.

What Deborah Nucatola describes is the reality of abortion. If you can’t handle it, you can’t handle the truth.

Letter to the editor We should not be signing a treaty with Iran From Richard J. Brammer Lenox

Iran refused to sign a treaty that they will not try to build hydrogen bombs and rockets to carry them to the U.S. unless the U.S. meets all of their demands!

It is hard to believe what a puny unexpected embarrassing nation

we have become in six and a half years.

Kerry and the rest of the administration all know that Iran hate America and will secretly keep building.

That is grounds for eliminating all their bomb and rocket building facilities, don’t you think?

We like to hear from you!

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

The British Open drew big ratings over the weekend as the top golfers vied for the coveted Claret Jug Sunday. The young stars played well. Masters and U.S. Open champion Jordan Spieth is widely touted as the next Tiger Woods, which gives Jordan’s girlfriend no confidence in the future whatsoever.

The New Horizons spacecraft sent back stunning photos of the dwarf planet Pluto all last week showing mountains and ice in full detail. However, it’s sent back no photographs of the spacecraft.

When the New Horizons was launched in a more-innocent time nine years ago, selfies were unheard of.

NBC News said Friday they’re searching for a motive why Youssef Mohammed Abdulazzez shot up a Marine recruiting center in Tennessee. Keep digging. We haven’t seen such crack investigative reporting by NBC News since Maria Shriver was unable figure out why the comforter was always damp.

The London Daily Mail published the data of an investigative author who used DNA to prove that Jack the Ripper was a Polish immigrant to London named Aaron Kosminsky. He butchered five prostitutes in Victorian London. The NFL heard the news and suspended Kosminsky for two games.

NFL future Hall of Fame quar-

terback Brett Favre told Sports Illustrated Monday he thinks he could still play in the NFL today. It’s not likely. Brett Favre is a cotton farmer who graduated from Southern Mississippi so many years ago that he could be banned by the NFL as a Confederate emble.

Starbucks announced Thursday it’s set to open stores in fifteen inner-city middle-class and poor neighborhoods. How decent of them. This will give the middle-class people in those inner city areas the chance to buy coffee at a Starbucks every morning and work their way back down to being poor again.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce said that the Hollywood Walk of Fame will keep Donald Trump’s star and Bill Cosby’s star on the famed sidewalk on Hollywood Boulevard.

That was very nice. It gives new hope to O.J. Simpson for finally receiving recognition for his work in The Naked Gun. Mexican drug lord Joaquin Guzman’s mile-long escape tunnel was shown on TV as a marvel of hand-dug engineering. It’s so good, it’s embarrassing. Democrats are moving to eliminate the word tunnel from the public

vernacular and replace it with the phrase subterranean pathway to citizenship.

The Veterans Administration told Congress that its VA hospitals are so backed up with patients that they could be facing a permanent backlog. The quality of care varies by region and city.

For example at the VA Hospital in L.A., if your x-rays show you have a broken rib, they fix it with Photoshop.

Mexico’s escaped drug lord Joaquin Guzman threatened to kill Donald Trump for his remarks disparaging Mexicans.

Perhaps his honor has been satisfied. When he heard the threat, Donald Trump quickly insisted if he were any more pro-Hispanic, candy would come out of him when you hit him with a stick.

Hillary Clinton fell to thirty-nine percent approval rating in CNN’s latest poll Tuesday. Negative responders cited her as being untrustworthy and unlikeable. If this downward trend continues, it could knock her out of the race and end the Clinton dream of being America’s first two-impeachment family.

The British government on Tuesday urged British tourists to leave Tunisia, warning that further terrorist attacks are highly likely in the shaky Muslim nation.

The warning fell on deaf ears. It’s really hard to talk common sense into anybody who picked Tunisia as a vacation destination in the first place.

My family just returned from a wonderful trip to Israel. As on previous trips, we got to the airport with a small amount of THAT COUNTRY’S CURRENCY. We were too tired to search out shops that would take it. It was only a few shekels, not worth the exchange rate.

My husband thought what a loss that there isn’t a box for charitable donations of this leftover currency. A few dollars or shekels or euros from millions of travelers would help many worthy causes in each country. — Joy and Todd H., via email You are so right! Many international airports do have collection boxes or other receptacles for those last few coins or paper bills. Ask where they might be. Travelers on certain international flights can donate U.S. or foreign money to the Change for Good program, which is then donated to UNICEF. Or you can send your change to UNICEF directly.

Horoscope Wednesday, July 22, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Even though you are keen to make practical plans at home, you might run into difficulty with a close friend. You or someone else needs to vent your feelings!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is another excellent day for mental work, because you will pay attention to detail.

However, difficulties with a co-worker might create an interruption.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Discussions about financial matters will be serious and practical today. However, an upset related to children, a romantic partner or a social event will require patience and understanding.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It is a mixed bag today.

Difficulties with a family member, probably a female, could be dramatic and emotional.

Nevertheless, you have a calm, practical solution in mind.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) An explosive discussion, probably highly emotional, could take place today with a sibling or a daily contact. Meanwhile, you want to continue to work behind the scenes to finish something.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) An argument about money or possessions is likely. Fortunately, the advice of someone older or more experienced will be valuable.

Playoff win ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Zach Johnson cradled the silver claret jug in his arms.

Jordan Spieth let it slip through his fingers.

Spieth was right where he wanted to be in his spirited bid for the Grand Slam - tied for the lead with two holes to go in the British Open, right after making a 50-foot birdie putt that made it feel as though he were destined to win at St. Andrews for his third straight major.

And he was still there at the very end Monday, but only as a spectator.

The slam gone, Spieth graciously returned to the steps of the Royal & Ancient clubhouse to watch Johnson finish off a sterling performance of his own. Johnson rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole that got him into a threeman playoff, and he outlasted Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman to win the British Open.

Johnson described himself as a “normal guy” from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, when he won the Masters in 2007.

And now?

“I’m a normal guy from Cedar Rapids ... with a green jacket that has something that most guys don’t get to drink out of right now,” Johnson said, smiling as he looked at golf’s oldest trophy with his name etched alongside most of the game’s greatest players.

Lawson traded HOUSTON (AP) — Rockets general manager Daryl Morey knows adding Ty Lawson is a risky move. He believes the possible reward is worth that risk.

Lawson was acquired in a trade with the Denver Nuggets on Monday, giving the Rockets needed depth at point guard, though he is currently dealing with off-court issues. He entered a 30-day residential treatment program last week after his second DUI arrest.

Morey noted there are always risks with players, whether it’s concerns like Lawson’s or with injuries or other issues.

“When you’re trying to be the best team out of 30 you’ve got to risk all over the place,” he said.

Titan arrested VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) Titans wide receiver Justin Hunter has been arrested and is being held without bond for an assault that allegedly took place at a bar during the Fourth of July weekend.

Hunter, 24, was booked into his hometown jail at the Virginia Beach Sheriff’s Office on Monday afternoon for a charge listed as malicious intent, stabbing, cutting, wounding.

Neither a sheriff’s office spokesman nor the Virginia Beach Police Department immediately returned messages left by The Associated Press.

‘Bachelorette’ on Panthers’ evening agenda

ORT DODGE — When Creston leadoff batter Josie Sickels slid across home plate Tuesday on a wild pitch during an intentional walk to Haylee LaMasters, she put the Panther softball team into a new stratosphere of Panther girls athletics.

Sickels, who also scored Creston’s first run on a hit to right field

by LaMasters in the sixth inning, broke a 1-1 tie Jo. Sickels by bolting from third base when the fourth pitch

by Waverly-Shell Rock’s Sara Demuth sailed high over the reach of catcher Kali Matthias.

“I just saw the ball went really high and over the catcher and I went,” said Sickels, who had started the eighth inning with an opposite-field single. “Coach told me to be ready. I went and dove at the plate.”

And with it, Mike McCabe became only the second Creston softball coach to win a first-round game at state. (Mike Gerleman coached Creston to a fifth-place finish in the one-class field in 1978, when the Pantherettes won the first game, lost the second and won two more to place fifth.)

“We talked, and I told Josie I think she’s holding it a little bit long, so be alert here,” McCabe said. “I also wanted her to be alert because they throw a nice pickoff.

That girl behind the plate is a heck of a player. Josie was alert and scampered in there. She didn’t McCabe hesitate as soon as she saw it go high. She’s a heads up kid.”

Thirteenth-ranked Creston (276) meets area rival Winterset (3111) at 7 p.m. Thursday on the same diamond in a Class 4A semifinal game. The No. 3 Huskies defeated Mount Pleasant earlier Monday, 6-3.

Unranked Pella upset No. 6 Fort Dodge 3-2 Monday evening and

meets No. 9 Dallas Center-Grimes in Thursday’s other semifinal game. DC-G edged Fairfield, 1-0.

A Panther win Thursday would mean a spot in the 4A championship game at 2:30 p.m. Friday, also on the Buena Vista University diamond at the Harlan Rogers Sports Complex. If Winterset avenges an earlier 3-2 loss to the Panthers, Creston would play for third place at 1:30 p.m. Friday on Mittera Field.

Historic heights

With a top four finish assured, this Panther softball team joins this year’s Class 1A third-place Creston/O-M girls bowling team among the highest placing girls athletic teams in school history.

FORT DODGE — After an exciting extra-innings state quarterfinal victory over Waverly-Shell Rock, the Creston softball team had a plan for unwinding after their game Monday.

“We’ll watch some softball, get something to eat and watch ‘The Bachelorette’ tonight,” said Creston coach Mike McCabe, smiling. “Here we are today getting ready for a state quarterfinal game, and I hear them talking about that’s what they want to to do. Can you believe it?”

It’s not just any episode of the popular ABC reality show, where the designated bachelorette chooses among several bachelor candidates.

“This is ‘The Bachelorette Men Tell All’ where the men tell everything about the girl,” said shortstop Taylor Briley.

“We have a computer, so we hope we can watch it. Where we eat (on Iowa Central campus) has TVs, but it closes before ‘The Bachelorette” is on.”

On Tuesday, it will be back to business for the Panthers in preparing for Thursday’s semifinal matchup against a familiar opponent, thirdranked Winterset.

HARLAN — Creston pounced on Class 3A seventh-ranked Harlan early here Monday, but the Cyclones battled back for a 4-3 win over the Panthers in 12 innings in the Class 3A District 15 final.

Kyle Schmitz laid down a squeeze bunt for an RBI with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 12th inning to give Harlan the win. The Cyclones advance to Wednesday’s Substate 8 final against Carroll in Harlan.

Harlan was able to get out of the inning thanks to a double play.

“They turned two double plays that got them out of innings,” Creston head coach Steve Birchard said. “We had a big inning going. Next inning (Chase) Shiltz leads off with a double and we get three straight outs. Next inning, Merritt gets on by an error and they turn a double play right away. After that was pretty tough sledding for us.”

24-2, beating Elk Horn in the first round of the oneclass Sweet Sixteen tournament before falling to Fort Dodge St. Edmond in overtime.

The 1978 softball team placed fifth in the one-class field of 16 teams, earning a spot in the top eight by winning in the first round, and then finishing fifth by going 2-1 the rest of the way.

The 1996 softball team under Ron ‘Fox” Clinton went 1-2 in placing sixth in Class 2A. Creston lost firstround matches in the 1980 and 1987 state volleyball tournaments.

“It’s good for the program, an inspiration for younger girls that maybe they can do these things, and for the community,” said McCabe, in his 13th year at the helm of the Creston squad, assisted by former Panther standouts Teri Keeler and Carla Smith. “We’re excited to have the chance to be in the semifinals.”

For a long time Monday, it looked like a towering home run to left by Waverly-Shell Rock third baseman Jaylie Reints in the second inning m i g h t hold up for a 1-0 GoHawks victory.

“I was throwing her LaMasters outside and everything I was throwing her she was pulling,” LaMasters said. “It was a good hit.”

“It was an outside pitch and she still pulled it over left center,” said Panther catcher Natalie Mostek.

Comeback Creston finally tied it in the sixth. Josie Sickels led off with a single down the third base line against second pitcher Cassie Rottink.

In many games this year, Rottink had shared duty in the later innings to close out victories for Demuth.

This time, however, Tay-

lor Briley executed a sacrifice bunt to advance Sickels before LaMasters, the Class 4A RBI leader, drove an outside pitch to right field for an RBI single. Earlier in the game she had doubled to left center, so when she came up with Sickels and Briley aboard in the eighth, W-SR coach Brent Matthias ordered Demuth to issue the ill-fated intentional walk.

“We knew that LaMasters was their best hitter,” Matthias said. “That was the person who was not going to beat us. We were pitching her outside and she’s a good enough hitter that she took the ball to the right side (to tie the game). We said late in the ballgame we’d put her on. We were going to put her on and then of course the wild pitch.”

Briley, who made a run-saving play on a onehop shot in the hole at shortstop in the sixth with runners on second and third, was standing on first base when the fourth pitch to LaMasters sailed high.

“I was halfway to second hoping Josie would get in,” Briley said. “Right when it left her hand, I could tell it was going to be really high.

Then I saw Josie running, and I was jumping up and down already!”

It was a celebration

reminiscent of the comefrom-behind 4-3 win over top-ranked ADM in the regional final. Creston has won four straight one-run games over Atlantic, Winterset, ADM and now Waverly-Shell Rock.

“We’ve kind of been in a groove lately winning onerun games, but we all know that can turn just like that.

Sometimes it’s crazy things that end up turning a game, like you saw. That was a tough way to lose.”

“Creston is a great ballclub, maybe the hottest team in Class 4A,” Matthias added. “They beat the No. 1 team (ADM) to get here.

They beat Winterset earlier.

They’re on a roll.”

With the top of the order coming up in Creston’s eighth inning, Matthias went back to his starter, Demuth, after Rottink’s one inning.

Demuth ended up fanning six, walking two and allowing five hits in six innings.

LaMasters had a sparking, errorless defense behind her in allowing seven hits and two walks while striking out five in eight innings.

“I wasn’t throwing my best,” said the Panther senior. “They had newer balls out there and very slick, so I was just trying to get used to it. I always just tell myself to hit my spots and I have a

defense that will back me up and get the outs for me.”

Defensive play

The most crucial of those plays was the sixth inning play in the hole by Briley with Demuth and Kayla Reusche on second and third with two outs, with the Panthers trailing 1-0.

Briley reached to her right, planted after gloving the onehop shot, and fired across the diamond to first baseman Alli Thomsen, stretching Briley to receive the throw as Reints was a half-step from reaching the bag with an RBI infield single. Had the ball shot through the gap, both runners might have scored.

“When she hammered

it, I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, we’re scoring a run and now we’re going to have runners on first and third!”

Matthias said. “The shortstop made a heck of a play.

That is a major league baseball play you’d see on ESPN. She throws a rifle shot and it was a bang-bang play. We really thought that was the turning point for us when she hit it, and it was a turning point for them.”

There were other key plays. Mostek threw out Kelsey Young trying to steal second after a single in the third. In the top of the eighth, Jami Sickels charged hard on a looper into shallow left and caught it to end the inning with a runner aboard. Several other tough chances were handled flawlessly.

“What a great state tournament game,” Matthias said. “I mean, 1-1, extra in-

nings, and a pitchers’ duel.

Are they going to bunt?

Are they going to steal?

Just a great game for a fan.

In the third base box, your stomach is rolling. But a super, super game for fans to watch at the state tournament.

“We were going to walk the bases loaded and roll the dice to see if we could get a force out at home. It just got out of Sara’s hand the wrong way and that was the end of the ballgame.

“We were one pitch away from maybe making it work.”

“We’ll practice and get in our normal routine,” McCabe said. “We look forward to the opportunity.

When you look at the support we had here today, I’ll be anxious to see what it looks like Thursday!”

Briley said the team noticed the strong turnout of Panther supporters, especially when the public address announcer asked fans from each school to respond to his prompt during a “fifth inning stretch.” A huge roar erupted from the west bleachers at Buena Vista University Field at the Harlan Rogers Sports Complex when he asked if anyone was present from Creston.

“When they were doing that over the speakers asking about noise from Creston, that got us riled up in the dugout,” Briley said. “It was really loud. It’s great to have a lot of people here.”

Creston’s run of one-run victories started with a 4-3 win over Atlantic in the second game of a July 2 doubleheader, after a 2-0 loss, which was the team’s last defeat.

Winterset 3-2 after the Huskies loaded the bases in the seventh with no outs in a game July 8 at Panther Field.

After opening regional play with an 11-1 victory over Harlan, the Panthers rallied from a 3-0 deficit to knock off top-ranked ADM, 4-3, in the regional final.

“With each step you start to believe a little more,” McCabe said. “I don’t think we’ll be overwhelmed. Winterset is a great team, but our kids will be fine.”

Catcher Natalie Mostek, one of three seniors on the squad along with pitcher Haylee LaMasters and second baseman Brenna Baker, said the squad has grown t o g e t h - Mostek er during those close contests.

“We have confidence in each other,” Mostek said.

runs Monday. “We beat them once. We beat ADM, who beat them. But we know they’re good. It’s anyone’s game.”

“Anything can happen,” echoed Briley. “We just have to be ready.”

McCabe said the July 8 game is probably fresh in the Huskies’ mind.

“They are probably licking their chops, thinking of having the bases loaded and nobody out and not getting a run when that ballgame ended,” McCabe said. “But we can’t worry about that. We’re in the state semifinals and we’re going to show up and play.

“We’re pretty scrappy and becoming tough minded,” McCabe added. “I think we believe. They are having fun and enjoying it, and that’s what counts up here.”

Searching for grandfather clocks made by Arnold Nesheim My grandfather, Arnold Nesheim, lived on Mills St. in Creston after he retired from 1963 until he died in October of 1978. As a hobby, he built furniture for family and friends. One of the most important things he did was to build Grandfather clocks. He had 10 grandchildren. All but one grandchild has a grandfather clock, and we are currently searching for one to get for her.

My grandfather told my mother that he built clocks for some friends in Creston as well. So we are hoping to find someone in Creston that Grandad made a clock for who would be willing to sell it to our family. Of course, Grandad’s friend would be deceased by now, so hopefully a family member would remember that the grandfather clock was made for their father, or grandfather by Arnold Nesheim.

If you have any information, please contact me, Dianne Park, 801-278-3722 or 801-755-3131. Thank you!
