A Creston woman has been charged with arson after a string of fires at a residence located at 805 1/2 W. Jefferson St. in Creston.

Shelia Renae Shoults, 42, 802 W. Adams St., was charged with three counts of arson 11:30 p.m.

Sunday at Shoults Creston Law Enforcement Center.

Shoults was being held in Ringgold County Jail for Union County awaiting

bond hearing.

According to a Creston Police report, officers and Creston Fire Department were dispatched to 805 1/2 W. Jefferson St. in response to a house on fire.

When officers and the fire department arrived, the house was fully engaged with flames breaching the roof of the house.

It marked the fourth time the house had caught fire, with other attempts indicating the house was deliberately set on fire.

A camera was placed in the house in an attempt to capture any illegal activity within the residence.

Creston Fire Department successfully removed the camera from the house and images captured on the camera showed the

suspect.

“We saw her walk through the house and back toward the e n t r y point,” Creston Fire Chief T o d d Jackson said. “She Jackson admitted at that point she had ignited some material in the house with a lighter. That was consistent with the images we had.”

Jackson said Shoults admitted to using a stack of magazines and a bag of charcoal in the two other incidents Shoults confessed to.

Sunday’s fire started just inside the back door

of the residence, owned

by Chris Rehmeyer. There was about an hour delay between the time the fire was ignited and when the call was placed to Creston Fire Department, during which time the fire spread throughout the house.

Firefighters were on scene from approximately 8 p.m. until midnight containing the fire, while a crew stayed overnight to watch for hot spots and exposure issues.

“Those are half lots, so they’re about 10-12 feet between that house and neighboring houses,” Jackson said. “That was our biggest concern. We decided early on it was too fully involved to mount an interior attack, so we protected exterior exposures

and let it burn down.”

Investigation Creston Police Chief Paul Ver Meer said the investigation began in June when Creston Fire Department alerted the police department about suspicious activity at the house.

“We had another incident that occurred a week ago, two weeks ago, so we had the fire department install a camera in the house to see if we could get some video of whoever might be doing it,” Ver Meer s a i d . “ L a s t Ver Meer night, when the fire call came in,

the first thing the fire department did was go and get the camera out and lo and behold, we had a suspect on it.”

According to Ver Meer, officers identified Shoults and were familiar with her.

Shoults was located and was asked to come to the Law Enforcement Center for questioning, which she agreed to do.

Shoults was read her rights and confessed to setting the house on fire.

She said she was tired of all the strange people going in and out of the the house and staying in it.

She was also concerned because children went into the house, as well.

Shoults had taken steps FIRE | 10A

DES MOINES (AP) — A roughly $7.2 billion state budget went into effect Saturday in Iowa. The spending plan, approved by a Republican-controlled Legislature and former Gov. Terry Branstad, addresses everything in state government from education funding to health care services.

But lower-than-expected revenue meant lawmakers agreed to a range of funding cuts across state agencies. Those cuts have come into sharper focus since the legislative session was adjourned in April. Republicans say they tried to balance the budget while investing in priorities and essential government services. Here’s a look at five impacts of the new budget:

Planned Parenthood clinics Planned Parenthood of the Heartland announced in May it would close four of its 12 clinics in Iowa in response to a decision by GOP lawmakers to give up millions in federal Medicaid dollars to create a state-run family planning program that excludes funding to organizations that provide abortions. No state dollars pay for abortions in Iowa.

The Iowa Department of Human Services says participants will automatically be transferred to the state program, which is supposed to cover the same services as long as they are not sought at a clinic offering abortions.

About $1.7 million was cut in funding directed toward services that assist victims of domestic and sexual violence. That’s a 26 percent cut in state spending toward such services, according to the Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Violence. In the end, the total cuts between state and federal funding for the new budget year are expected to be $5.7 million.

The Domestic Violence Intervention Program, an Iowa City-based agency that typically receives some of the state money, has announced plans to close two of its five offices. Executive Director Kristie Fortmann-Doser said there will be no staff layoffs and no services will change at this point, but the reduction in locations will hurt victims

The University of Iowa will stop receiving about $105,000 for a program aimed at increasing the number of psychiatrists in the state. The money was split evenly to help fund a one-year post graduate fellowship in psychiatry and offer tuition assistance to encourage students to further study psychiatry.

About 240 psychiatrists are in Iowa, according to Michael Flaum, the program’s medical director. Flaum says that’s not enough, hurting access to mental health services in the state.

The program will end tuition assistance and seek to find other money to help pay for the fellowship. “It’s a very small amount of money and it has a significant impact on the psychiatric workforce in the state of Iowa,” he said.

The Iowa Department of Public Health also made this reduction after lawmakers originally maintained its funding.

The nine-member Board of Regents, which oversees Iowa’s three public universities, voted in June to increase tuition at the schools beginning this fall. Presidents at the three universities — Iowa State University, University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa — say steeper-than-expected increases were the result of recent cuts by the Legislature. Lawmakers approved an education budget bill this year that reduced yearover-year state funding to the schools by about $30 million.

The board had already agreed in December to a 2 percent tuition increase for the 2017-2018 school year.

Iowa students will see tuition go up an additional $216 beyond that. Increases were higher for out-ofstate, graduate and professional students.

Executive Director Jeanne Burmeister said Prevent Blindness Iowa, which has been around for nearly 60 years, estimates it’s reached more than 45,000 students through its trainings and screenings.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Not quite photogenic

HOROSCOPE For Tuesday, July 4, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)Your home routine will be interrupted today, or perhaps a family member will say something surprising. Hang tight.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)This is an accident-prone day, so pay attention to everything you say and do. On the upside, you might have genius ideas floating around in your head.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep an eye on your finances and possessions today, because something unexpected will affect them. You might find money; you might lose money. Stay alert!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today Mercury is in your sign, at odds with wild, wacky Uranus. This makes you impulsive and high-strung with nervous energy. (But you can think outside of the box!)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This might be a restless day for you. Perhaps secrets will be revealed? You also might feel an urge to do something, but you’re not sure what.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22)Expect to be surprised by a friend today. Alternatively, you might meet someone new who is a real character! It’s not a boring day, that’s for sure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) During conversations with bosses, parents and VIPs, something unusual will occur.

They might say something you don’t expect. (What?)

They might surprise or even offend you. Do not have a knee-jerk reaction. Do not quit your day job.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel plans will be changed, canceled or delayed today, because things are unreliable and unpredictable. You might meet someone unusual from another culture. Media news also might be startling.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Something unexpected might affect your dealings regarding shared property, inheritances or anything you own jointly. Make sure you know what’s happening so you are not caught off guard.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Partners and close friends are full of surprises today. Assume nothing, and stay light on your feet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Your work routine will change today because of staff shortages, broken equipment, computer problems or canceled appointments. It could be anything. Give yourself extra time so that you have wiggle room to cope.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)This is an accident-prone day for kids, whether you’re a parent or you work with children. Therefore, be vigilant.

Meanwhile, social appointments and sports will have surprising detours.

YOU BORN TODAY You are caring and feel fond of loved ones. Harmony in your environment is important to you.

This is a social, happy year with cheerful energy. Broaden

your social circle to include new contacts. Romance and love affairs may bloom. You want to live life to its fullest.

This year is a year of choice.

You might face an important decision. Happiness is having alternatives.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about the deceptive photographs on food packaging/drive-thrus: “Dear Heloise: I’m so tired of seeing photographs on frozen-food packages and drive-thrus that show a delicious-looking item, but when you get it home, the item looks nothing like the picture. I recently bought frozen lasagna in the ‘family pack’ for a quick dinner for my two children and myself.

The portions were small, and the lasagna inside was nothing like the photograph on the box. To me, that’s deceptive advertising!” – Belinda M., Sparks, Nev. Belinda, I’ve noticed the same thing. Manufacturers, are you listening? – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are some items you might consider taking to someone who is in the hospital (but always check with the nurses to see what is allowed in a

patient’s room): * A small room freshener (no candles) to freshen the room. * A packet of mints or breath fresheners is nice. * Various magazines/ books on subjects that interest the patient. * Hand/body lotion – unscented is best – or moist towelettes. – Heloise TO TATTOO OR NOT TO TATTOO? Dear Heloise: My 16-yearold son is bugging me about getting a tattoo. I don’t care for tattoos, but I don’t know what to say except “No.” Are there any dangers to tattooing? How do I get him to reconsider a mark like that, which will be with him for many years? – Linda K., Upland, Calif.

Linda, tell your son to think before he inks. Tattoos can and have killed job opportunities for many people. There are some serious issues to consider: * Infections: Dirty needles can pass infections from one person to another. * Allergies: Allergies to various inks can occur. * Scarring: Unwanted scar tissue may cause scarring when getting or removing a tattoo.

SUDOKU

* Granulomas: These are small knots or lumps that form around material that the body perceives as foreign, such as tattoo pigment. * You may not like the results: There are tattoo artists whose work is not professional. Skill varies from one artist to another. There is no way to be certain that the ink used is safe. – Heloise ADOPT A BEST FRIEND Dear Heloise: Do any of your readers need a best friend? Adopt a pet at any local shelter or animal-rescue organization. So many irresponsible people don’t spay or neuter their pets, and that produces too many unwanted pets. A pet is a wonderful companion, and the health benefits of having a pet are well-documented.

So, you can adopt a best friend at any local shelter. – Glenda T., Frankfort, Ky. Glenda, I agree. A pet is a wonderful comfort and companion. I’ve adopted many animals and have loved each of them. A pet also can teach children compassion and responsibility.

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

After picking up Friday’s senior night game in the bottom of the first inning following a June 15 postponement, Denison-Schleswig earned a win to spoil senior

night for Creston with a 10-3 result in its favor.

The Monarchs put two runs on the board in the second inning and one on in the third to give ace pitcher Sarah Heilesen an early lead to work with.

Creston limited the damage when on a sacrifice fly in the second, Saige Rice’s throw was cut off by pitcher Cali Foglesong, who threw out a runner at second.

The Panthers made Denison-Schleswig pay for sev-

eral defensive miscues on bunts in the third inning, as Lexie Little singled to push Kiersten Latham from second to home to make it 3-1.

The Panthers loaded the bases with one out on a Sara Keeler single, but Kylee LaMasters struck out and Cammy Rutherford’s long fly ball into left field was caught by Monarch left fielder Whitney Weiss.

It was one of several strong defensive plays by the left fielder Friday.

Ayr’s McAlexander destroys softballs, leads way in wins at home classic

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Twenty nine. Caroline McAlexander knows exactly how many home runs she has hit.

She keeps each game ball that went over the fence for a round tripper in a bucket

at home in her room.

A total of 10 of those have come this varsity season.

That’s a Raiderette record.

Four of them alone came in the last week. Of the 29 that she keeps, 15 came in travel ball outside of the varsity season, where she plays with Murray sophomore Breianna Klein and Orient-Macksburg freshman Kaela Eslinger, all of whom have a penchant for power.

Two of them came in victories at Mount Ayr’s Softball Classic Saturday, as the

Raiderettes picked up wins by scores of 9-3 over Sidney and 15-5 over Clarinda.

She hit two more homers in Mount Ayr’s 17-0 win over Essex, the first game for the Raiderettes in the Classic.

McAlexander has been far from picky in her pitch selection.

“It doesn’t matter where it is in the zone,” McAlexander said. “If it looks good ... when it comes in, I can MCALEXANDER | 7A

BASEBALL ROUNDUP

Timberwolves take two STAFF REPORT

Southwest Valley 21, East Union 8 AFTON — Southwest Valley entered Thursday’s game at East Union undoubtedly playing some of its best baseball of the season.

So maybe it wasn’t a surprise to the Timberwolves when they put up 21 runs in a 21-8 win.

The score was sure to turn a few heads, given that Southwest Valley entered the game winless on the season and having not

scored more than 11 runs in a game.

The Timberwolves applied pressure early and kept it on the whole way.

They scored four runs in the first, three in the second, five in the fourth, two in the fifth and seven in the sixth.

Aiden Gaule led the effort Gaule from the top of the lineup with a

3-for-5, four-run, two RBI performance.

Joey Kernen turned in a line of 2--for-3 with two doubles, two runs scored and two RBIs. Others filling up the stat keeper’s book included Jace Peterson, who had three hits in three at-bats with a double and two RBIs and Merik Gaule, who was 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored.

Evan Davis contributed with a 2-for-3 day with ROUNDUP | 6A

“Had a few opportunities, seemed like it kept coming with two outs,” Creston coach Mike McCabe said.

“We get about four more inches and we had a 5-3 lead. That close.”

Back-to-back doubles by Alex Mohr and Tatum Fink in the fourth stretched the Denison-Schleswig lead to 5-1, and 7-1 after the top of the fifth.

The Panthers threatened to work back into contention in the fifth.

Saige Rice, up at the plate with the bases loaded, checked her swing and still made contact and despite her surprise at hitting the ball, still beat out an infield single to score Peyton Rice, who was Chloe Hagle’s courtesy runner.

Lexie Little then waltzed home for run number three when Cayla Maitlen was plunked with a pitch.

Knocking the Cards down a peg Creston scores impressive win at Treynor ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

TREYNOR — A day removed from a beatdown at the hands of Atlantic, the Creston baseball team dropped jaws with a 4-1 win at Class 2A second-ranked Treynor.

Creston coach Steve Birchard saw the win as an affirmation of what he knew about his team. He understood there may be doubts running through his players’ heads after the loss to Atlantic.

“Overcoming the (mental) hurdle of maybe we’re not that good, that was the biggest thing for us that we came back, played good baseball and proved to ourselves that we can do that,” Birchard said.

The Panthers rode the pitching arm of Kadon Hulett, who has pitched sparingly trying to keep his shoulder healthy.

The big Hulett senior pitched six innings of six-hit, one-run ball and did not allow that run until the sixth inning. He struck out seven Cardinals.

While Birchard noted that Hulett tossed a solid game, he didn’t note that anything about Hulett’s pitching effort was spectacular. He just got the job done.

“Kadon gets any tough assignment we might have,” Birchard s a i d . “ S o m e - Birchard times it has to do with how your defense plays.”

The Panthers played error-free baseball.

Creston put up the first run of the game in the third inning.

Michael Scherer led off the inning with a single.

He stole second and Scherer moved to third on a fielder’s choice groundout to second base by Brenden McDowell.

Scherer came around to score and gave Creston a 1-0 lead on a groundout by Cody Crawford.

The Cardinals got on the board in the sixth when, after a leadoff walk to Kendrick Umphreys; Peyton Petterson and Griffen Kline recorded hits.

A groundout off the bat of Dean Bedell allowed Umphreys to score from third to tie the game at 1-1.

Creston took advantage of a bout of wildness from Treynor starter Brett Daley in the sixth. Jaden Driskell and Hulett reached base when both were hit by pitches.

A run scored on a fielder’s choice groundout off the bat of Dustin Merritt, and Hunter Fry, running for Hulett, scored on a well-placed suicide squeeze bunt by Beau Barncastle.

“It was good to get that insurance run there,” Birchard said.

Luke Latham made it a three-run lead by ripping his second double of the game, to score Merritt for a 4-1 advantage.

T h e Latham two doubles came at a beneficial time for Creston, who needs its young players at the bottom of the lineup to enter the postseason geared up to PANTHERS | 6A

three runs and two RBIs. Teagan Lundquist batted 3-for-4 with two runs, an RBI and two stolen bases.

Jadon Bohn neared the 110 pitch count but went the distance as he gave up seven earned runs but struck out six Eagles.

Southwest Valley also defeated Wayne on Friday 9-3, to pick up win number two on the season, but stats were unavailable.

No stats were available for East Union.

Lenox 16, Bedford 6 LENOX — A quick fourrun first inning allowed Lenox to jump out to a comfortable lead early as the Tigers coasted to a 16-6 home victory over Bedford Thursday.

Aaron Schmitz was a hot 3-for-5 with two doubles a run and six RBIs. Derek Venteicher, Drew Venteicher and Colton Hogan each contributed two hits apiece, and Hogan drove in two runs.

Jared Hensley and Kaleb Anderson scored three times apiece and both picked up one hit.

Creston News Advertiser | Monday, July 3, 2017

Schmitz picked up the win while allowing one hit and one run over the game’s first three innings. Brenden Christensen pitched the next two frames and Cole Johnston finished off the sixth on the hill to seal the deal.

Lenox 3, Central Decatur 1 LEON — Jared Hensley and Kaleb Anderson combined to shut down Central Decatur in a nerve-wracking 3-1 win in Leon Friday.

Hensley struck out six in pitching most of the way before Anderson struck out three to clinch the game in the eighth. Both were backed up by stellar defense, as the Tigers did not make an error in the field.

D e r e k Hensley Venteicher had a double and a triple and Brenden Christensen added two more hits.

Rylon O’Dell took the loss despite not giving up an earned run, with two of the runs coming after an error in the eighth.

Carter Boothe took the Cardinals into the sixth tied at 1-1 before giving the ball

up to O’Dell for the rest of the game.

Tyler Davis was 2-for-3 with a double for the Cardinals.

Mount Ayr 5, Nodaway Valley 2 MOUNT AYR — Isaac Grose settled into a pitching groove after allowing a run to Nodaway Valley in the first inning of Friday’s conference matchup.

Thanks to Grose’s eight-strikeout effort and some late Raider offense, Mount A y r pulled out a 5-2 win.

Mount Ayr went ahead 2-1 in the fifth and put Grose up three more runs in the sixth to go up 5-1.

Tristan Holmes went 2-for-3 at the plate with an RBI and took the ball from Grose for the last out to finish the game on three pitches.

Hunter Haveman and Kolben Klommhaus each contributed a hit and an RBI for the victors. Klommhaus scored twice.

Brady Hilpipre went 2-for-3 for the Wolverines

with a homer in the seventh-inning.

Brandon Mangles tossed 6 and 1/3 innings for Nodaway Valley, struck out four and walked six in the loss.

Pleasantville put up two runs in the first and eight in the second to run away with the contest.

Beau Weinheimer and Tyler Vandewater were both 2-for-4 with a double.

Weinheimer scored twice and Vandewater drove in two runs.

Cole Shike also hit a double.

Spencer Lamb took the loss on the hill. He struck out five batters, walked four and surrendered six earned runs.

Breianna Klein struck out 10, allowed one hit and one walk.

Brandi Gilbert and Kayla Wookey both blasted home runs, with both coming in the fourth.

A 3-0 win over Melcher-Dallas on June 6 is the closest a Bluegrass opponent has finished in a game this season.

What Mount Ayr coach Bret Ruggles has been impressed with has been the adjustments she has made in her approach at the plate this season, and how with that, she has added more power.

“We’ve needed that from her. We’ve got a lot of contact hitters. Not power hitters,” Ruggles said. “… One thing that I’ve been really happy with is when she does have those pitches that she can’t get out, she just hits it on the grass.”

Opposing coaches have made note of how hard it is to pitch to McAlexander.

Much of that comes from the work McAlexander puts into her game.

She travels to Ames to work on her swing in private lessons with former Iowa State softball coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler, as does her buddy, Klein.

“It’s really fun. Me and Breianna usually compete against each other,” McAlexander. “We always have our competitions, which is fun. It’s always fun playing each other.”

did hinder their chances with six errors, but the results of more in-season practice on the team’s defense and all-around skills has become more self-evident in the last weeks of the season.

“Our goal at the beginning of the year for this team, whatever it was going to be record wise, was to be playing our best when we got to regional tournament,” McCabe said. “… Everyone will say we’ve been playing our best. Especially offensively. Still think we can be better defensively and I think we’e capable of that. ly puts in hour-long hitting sessions at home three days a week, on top of showing up to the ball park early for extra practice.

She also has seen her pitching come along as the season has worn on.

McAlexander pitched three shutout innings in the win over Clarinda before giving way to Sam Schaefer to pitch.

Tessa Shields singled in the first to score two runs.

The Raiderettes added another run in the first and two more in the second.

She also confessed to two of the other three cases where the house was set on fire.

“This all started June 24,” Jackson said. “We had our first call there. It was an obvious arson. Somebody had lit a (plastic) swimming pool at the back door.

It continued through the week. We had another fire there Monday night and then Thursday night. We had three fires last week – they all were obviously intentionally set fires.”

Ver Meer said arson cases are rare in Creston.

“We’ve had some reckless use of fire type of things,” he said. “Where somebody intentionally sets a structure on fire, those are rare, thankfully.”

Creston Police Department and Creston and Afton fire departments responded to Sunday’s fire.

“I just want to say this was a good team effort between Creston Fire Department and Creston Police Department to get this case solved and wrapped up in a CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER short amount of time,” Ver Smoke billows from the roof of a residence at 805 1/2 W. Jefferson St. in Creston Meer said.
