Creston High School’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter was the only one from Iowa to receive the Outstanding Chapter award at the FBLA National Leadership Conference June 29-July 2 in Atlanta.

“I was pretty surprised we were the only one from Iowa,” s a i d Shannon Smith, Creston F B L A Smith chapter adviser. “You have to do about 20 different activities to receive that recognition, and then when I saw there were only 110 chapters out

nationals) that received it, that was pretty cool.”

Ten Creston FBLA students competed in nine team and individual events at nationals. They also attended workshops and did networking. This year was the largest National Leadership Conference to date, with more than 12,000 students and advisers in attendance and more than 9,000 members competing in events from around the globe.

In addition to being an Outstanding Chapter, the Creston chapter was recognized for completing the Chapter Challenge and was one of two Iowa chapters to do so.

Chapter Challenge is a contest that encourages recruitment, retention and member involvement. There are three programs in the contest – Super Sweeps, which focuses on

Non-Stop November, which focuses on World Prematurity Awareness Month and American Enterprise Day; and Action Awareness, which focuses on promoting awareness of FBLA and Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) programs.

“These programs really go to show that our kids are really hard workers and that there are other ways for them to be recognized besides placing in their events,” Smith said.

FBLA member Ann Waigand, who graduated in May, went to nationals for her third time and competed in two categories: American enterprise project and digital video production.

“It wasn’t our strongest run-through of the projects, but I thought we did really well overall,” Waigand said.

“One thing I (improved on) was public speaking. I

Waigand will attend Iowa State University beginning in the fall to study criminology and criminal justice.

With RAGBRAI’s July 25 overnight stop in Creston approaching, the Creston RAGBRAI Committee is still searching for more volunteers.

In an effort to educate those who have already signed up as volunteers and to recruit new volunteers, the Creston RAGBRAI Committee will hold two volunteer training sessions next week.

The first session is 5:30 p.m.

Tuesday, with the second ses-

sion 7 p.m. Thursday. Both training sessions are at the congregate mealsite at the Creston restored Depot.

“Our main thing is recruiting of volunteers,” Creston RAGBRAI Volunteer Committee Co-chairperson Annette Rice said. “Originally, they told us we’d need between 700 and 800 (volunteers). I think we have just over 100 totally committed that have filled out applications.”

Volunteers are mostly needed at the campground sites – Southwestern Community College, McKinley Park and Creston High School.

There, volunteers will greet vehicles and riders as they arrive in town and help them figure out where they need to RAGBRAI | 2A

5 Dallas officers slain, deadliest day for police since 9/11 DALLAS (AP) — Five Dallas police officers were fatally shot and seven others wounded during a protest over the deaths of black men killed by police this week in Louisiana and Minnesota — the deadliest day for U.S. law enforcement since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Police Chief David Brown blamed “snipers,” but it was unclear how many shooters were involved. Authorities initially said three suspects were in custody and a fourth dead, killed by a robot-delivered bomb in a parking garage

where he had exchanged fire with officers.

Before dying, the police chief said, the suspect told officers he was upset about recent shootings and wanted to kill whites, “especially white officers.” The man also stated that he acted alone and was not affiliated with any groups, Brown said.

Thursday’s bloodshed, which unfolded just a few blocks from where President John F. Kennedy was slain in 1963, also evoked the trauma of the nation’s tumultuous civil POLICE | 2A

Smith is seeking to launch a small competition for area FBLA students to practice before state and nationals.

“A lot of other states have regional, sub-state competitions, so people are getting feedback and having an opportunity to change up their projects multiple times before they get to nationals, so I’m looking at trying to develop something in southwest Iowa so chapters in our area can ... have stronger projects,” Smith said.

Getting feedback from different audiences is helpful in understanding where judges might come from during nationals and what they’re looking for in a project, Smith added.

“This is something I’m going to try to work on for this next year,” Smith said.

“It wouldn’t be necessarily as high stakes as those other states have, but ... a lot of advisers feel that with kids in winter sports and some schools charging for busing, it wouldn’t be feasible to have a regional competition before state because of monetary and time issues. So, we’ll see how this works out, but it’s something I really

curred in an area of hotels, restaurants, businesses and some residential apartments only a few blocks from Dealey Plaza, the landmark made famous by the Kennedy assassination.

The scene was chaotic, with officers with automatic rifles on the street corners.

“Everyone just started running,” Devante Odom, 21, told The Dallas Morning News. “We lost touch with two of our friends just trying to get out of there.”

Brown said the suspects “triangulated” in the downtown area where the protesters were marching and had “some knowledge of the route” they would take.

Video posted on social media appeared to show a gunman at ground level exchanging fire with a police officer who was then felled.

Mayor Mike Rawlings said one of wounded officers had a bullet go through his leg as three members of his squad were fatally shot around him.

“He felt that people don’t understand the danger of dealing with a protest,” said Rawlings, who spoke to the surviving officer. “And that’s what I learned from this. We care so much about people protesting, and I think it’s their rights. But how we handle it can do a lot of things. One of

rights era.

The shooting began about 8:45 p.m. Thursday while hundreds of people were gathered to protest the killings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and suburban St. Paul, Minnesota. Brown told reporters that snipers fired “ambush-style” on the officers. Two civilians also were wounded.

Police were not sure they had located all possible suspects, but by attention on Friday quickly focused on the man killed in the parking garage.

Authorities resorted to the bomb after hours of negotiations failed, Brown said. The suspect said he was not affiliated with any groups and stated that he acted alone, Brown added.

A Texas law enforcement official identified the slain suspect as Micah Johnson, 25.

The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he said he was not authorized to release the information. There were no immediate details on the suspect’s middle name or hometown.

dreds of people were gathered to protest the week’s fatal police shootings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and suburban St. Paul, Minnesota. Brown told reporters the snipers fired “ambush-style” on the officers. Two civilians were also wounded.

Brown said it appeared the shooters “planned to injure and kill as many officers as they could.”

Video from the scene showed protesters marching along a downtown street about half a mile from City Hall when shots erupted and the crowd scattered, seeking cover. Officers crouched beside vehicles, armored SWAT team vehicles arrived and a helicopter hovered overhead.

Demonstrations were held in several other U.S. cities Thursday night to protest the police killings of two more black men: A Minnesota officer on Wednesday fatally shot Philando Castile while he was in a car with a woman and a child, and the shooting’s aftermath was livestreamed in a widely shared Facebook video. A day earlier, Alton Sterling was shot in Louisiana after being pinned to the pavement by two white officers. That, too, was captured on a cellphone video.

the things it can do is put our police officers in harm’s way, and we have to be very careful about doing that.”

Early Friday morning, dozens of officers filled the corridor of the emergency room at Baylor Medical Center, where other wounded officers were taken. The mayor and police chief were seen arriving there.

Four of the officers who were killed were with the Dallas Police Department, a spokesman said. One was a Dallas Area Rapid Transit officer. The agency said in a statement that 43-year-old officer Brent Thompson, a newlywed whose bride also works for the police force, was the first officer killed in the line of duty since the agency formed a police department in 1989.

“Our hearts are broken,” the statement said.

Theresa Williams said one of the wounded civilians was her sister, 37-year-old Shetamia Taylor, who was shot in the right calf. She had thrown herself over her four sons, ages 12 to 17, when the shooting began.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed the Texas Department of Public Safety to offer “whatever assistance the City of Dallas needs.”

Volunteers are also needed at information centers at each campground location.

Bucklin expressed thanks to all those who have volunteered already and encourages others to step up and volunteer.

“We’re trying to put our best face forward during this RAGBRAI,” he said. “We want everybody to leave Creston on Tuesday morning (July 26) with a positive reaction to what we put forth.”

— the importance of uniting as Americans,” Abbott said.

Other protests across the U.S. on Thursday were peaceful, including in New York, Atlanta, Chicago and Philadelphia. In Minnesota, where Castile was shot, hundreds of protesters marched in the rain from a vigil to the governor’s official residence.

President Barack Obama said America is “horrified” by the shootings, which have no possible justification. He called them “vicious, calcu-

lated and despicable.”

Speaking from Warsaw, Poland, where he was meeting with leaders of the European Union and attending a NATO summit, the president asked all Americans to pray for the fallen officers and their families.

The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, which tracks on-duty deaths, said the fatal shootings made Thursday the deadliest day for U.S. police since Sept. 11.

ENTERTAINMENT

Sell it safely Dear Readers: Years ago, when people had STUFF TO GET RID OF, they either gave it away or had garage sales. While both still are options, selling over the internet is becoming increasingly popular. Here are a few hints regarding safety: 1. You want only serious buyers, and detailed descriptions foster that. Serious buyers are looking for specifics.

2. Photograph the items with the best possible lighting, and they should be the only item in the picture. You don’t want strangers seeing other items in your home.

3. Limit personal information, and use the email service offered by the website you are using to sell your items.

4. Interact with local buyers, staying as far away as possible from “out of area” buyers.

5. If you have to meet the buyer, take another person, meet at a public place in broad daylight and accept only cash. Many police stations will let you conduct your business in their parking lot.

6. Most important of all, trust your instincts.

Raiders pick up offense, down Bulldogs

By RYAN KRONBERG Chris Elwood. We wanted CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

ORIENT—While Mount Ayr and Orient-Macksburg play again this Tuesday in the Class 1A District 14 opening round postseason game, the Raiders were taking Thursday’s matchup seriously.

A win would allow the Raiders to finish the regular season at .500.

Thanks to some timely rallies with the bats and respectable pitching, Mount Ayr capped the regular season on a high with an 11-5 win in non-conference baseball.

Mount Ayr tacked on two runs in the first, second and third innings. After two quiet innings in the fourth and fifth, the Raiders pushed six more across in the sixth.

Mount Ayr added one more in the seventh.

“We wanted to get the victory,” said Mount Ayr coach

to get to .500. With tonight, we’ll be OK.” Mount Ayr had 10 hits.

Levi Jarred had two and drove in four runs. Tristan Holmes had a two-run double in the sixth. Bradley Wurster had a run-scoring hit in the third.

“We hit the ball hard when we did,” Elwood said.

“We had plenty of extra base hits.”

Pitcher Nick Wurster kept the Orient-Macksburg’s bats at bay. In six-plus innings, he allowed four runs, eight hits, walked two and struck out four.

Wurster helped his own cause in the third. Orient-Macksburg had runners at second and third with one out when the Bulldogs’ Treyg Webb laid a bunt down. Wurster fielded the ball in front of the mound, then tagged out the Orient-Macksburg runner off MA | 8A

Date with destiny awaits Second-ranked Winterset next up for Creston softball Saturday ■

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@ crestonnews.com

Wednesday’s regional quarterfinal game between Creston and Carroll had the look of a barnburner, as it was locked in a scoreless tie through three innings.

“We had a couple aggressive plays that ended up looking like bad plays,” Creston coach Mike McCabe said.

An error-riddled, offensive explosion quickly changed things in the fourth

as the Panthers went on to a 14-3 win.

Taylor Briley got on base to start the frame when Tigers shortstop Karlee Jones made the first of Carroll’s eight errors. Next, Alli Thomsen reached on a bunt single, then Lexie Little and Alyssa Higgins scored. In the blink of an eye, all four of those girls scored, as did Saige Rice, Brielle Baker and Josie Sickels. That seven-run frame set the tone for the night.

Creston, 22-11, advances to Saturday’s regional semifinals Saturday at Winterset, 30-6. First pitch is set for 7 p.m.

Taylor Briley did surrender a two-out, three-run blast over the left-center fence to Carroll’s Hannah Rowedder CRES| 8A

Making special memories at the College World Series OMAHA— For whatever reason the baseball gods have liked me a lot the past few years when I’ve been to the College World Series in Omaha.

The latest being last Saturday when I saw the eventual national champions earn a right to play in the championship series.

It started in 2010 when out of flukey luck my father and I happened to see a marathon, weather-delayed game between Oklahoma and South Carolina on Father’s Day in the final CWS at Rosenblatt Stadium.

That game, that night was a night my father and I will forever cherish.

We weren’t even supposed to be at that game — our tickets were for the scheduled night game between Arizona State and Clemson — but Mother Nature had other ideas. By the time we got to Rosenblatt at 5 p.m. the Oklahoma and South Carolina game was just coming out of a weather delay and just starting the second inning. My normally frugal father couldn’t put the money down for the tickets fast enough

Kronberg’s korner Ryan Kronberg sport editor

when we heard there was space in the bleachers.

Six hours later — aided by a nearly three-hour rain delay — Oklahoma had won.

But South Carolina went on to win the CWS that year, the final CWS played at its ancestral home before moving downtown to T.D. Ameritrade Park.

Two years later, dad and I made our maiden voyage to T.D. Ameritrade Park to watch Arizona and UCLA on Father’s Day night. It was awesome to see the new park, albeit somewhat bittersweet that we weren’t watching the CWS in Rosenblatt.

Arizona went on to win that game, and eventually the CWS. Last year, it wasn’t a guarantee we were going to see a game in Omaha. Virginia had to beat Flori-

da to force an extra game on Saturday night for the right to go to the finals. Fortunately Virginia won, allowing my father and I another opportunity to see the College World Series in person.

Virginia won that game and later defeated Vanderbilt in the championship series. It allowed Council Bluffs native Brian O’Connor an opportunity to win the national title at ‘home.’

Fast forward to this past weekend. I was hoping to make it to this year’s College World Series, this time with my girlfriend April.

She’d never been to a game at T.D. Ameritrade Park, so I wanted to take her to a game, an opportunity for us to have a special date night in Omaha.

But certain things had to happen.

Arizona or Coastal Carolina had to win on Friday to force a game on Saturday.

Arizona won over Oklahoma State early Friday afternoon. I was stoked. It meant for sure there would be one game Saturday.

Then Coastal Carolina won late

Coastal Carolina celebrates after defeating TCU on June 25 at the College World Series at T.D. Ameritrade Park in Omaha. The Chanticleers would go on to win the national championship five days later.

Friday night over TCU. There would be two games on Saturday.

We would be at the Coastal Carolina and TCU game — that one fitting into our schedules a little bit easier than the afternoon game between Arizona and Oklahoma State.

We made our way downtown and into T.D. Ameritrade Park for an

exciting evening of College World Series baseball. A lap around the park allowed me to show April the not-quite-so-new digs.

T.D. Ameritrade has aged well so far, the glow still radiating off of it.

SPORTS BRIEFS Thomsen signs with Grandview for tennis

GRAND VIEW — Alli Thomsen of Creston has signed a national letter of intent to compete for the Grand View University women’s tennis program, announced head coach Kirk Trow.

Thomsen is a four-year letterwinner for Creston/O-M. She placed fourth and sixth at the state tournament in doubles with teammate Jenna Taylor during her career, and went undefeated in singles in her senior season. Thomsen helped the the Panthers to a second-place team finish at state. She also placed first at the No. 2 spot in singles at the Hawkeye 10 Conference tournament.

Thomsen was a valedictorian of her class at Creston High School and a member of the National Honor Society. She is a Grand View Presidential Scholarship recipient.

The daughter of John and Linda Thomsen plans to study pre-medicine Grand View University photo at Grand View.

tradition radiating, just like the smile on April’s face as we sat in our seats and took in the game.

This night would belong to Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the second, then blew it open with two in the third and four more in the fourth.

TCU fought back with a run in the sixth and two in the seventh. It added one in the ninth and had the tying run at the plate, but a double play ended the game.

Coastal Carolina was on to the championship series against Arizona.

If watching the College World Series has taught me anything over the years, it’s that Omaha loves its underdogs.

Coastal Carolina was certainly this year’s ‘chic’ team to root for among the natives.

The Chanticleers were making their maiden trip to the College World Series.

A school from the decidedly mid-major Big South Conference going up against the heavyweights like Florida, Arizona and TCU was trying to pull off an improba-

Mid-Thursday afternoon, the dream was complete.

Coastal Carolina held off a furious comeback attempt

by Arizona to win 4-3 and claim the school’s first-ever national title in any sport.

Listening to the game this past Thursday afternoon, watching them play a week ago Saturday in person in Omaha, it’s easy to see why the Chanticleers are

this year’s national champions. They have tremendous pitching, stout defense and combine it with timely, manufactured offense rather than waiting on the long ball Those are perfect things to lead to a title, especially in cavernous T.D. Ameritrade Park where home runs come at a premium.

OUTDOOR NEWS Help Iowa DNR count wild turkeys in July and August

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is looking for volunteers to help with its annual wild turkey survey this summer.

The work is pretty simple: while outdoors in Iowa this July and August, keep an eye out for wild turkeys.

If you see one, determine if it is an adult female or adult male (males have beards on their breast), and whether there are young poults (baby turkeys).

Count the number of young, make a note of the date and the county in which you saw the turkey(s) and then report your sighting online to the Iowa DNR’s Wildlife Bureau at http://www. surveygizmo.com/s3/2115256/iowawildturkeyreports

Central Park Lake improvement project moves to In-lake restoration phase in Fall 2016

For over 50 years the lake at Central Park has been the hub of Jones County Conservation’s recreational opportunities.

Located in the heart of Jones County, residents have benefited from its presence by swimming, fishing, paddling or strolling along its shoreline, in

in the bottom of the fourth.

However, the Panthers stymied any comeback hopes for the Tigers when they took advantage of two more Carroll errors in the fifth. A Chloe Hagle single down the third base line scored Little and Higgins.

Finally, in the seventh, Creston reached Carroll pitcher Julia LaRue for five more runs. Higgins got the offense going in the inning with a double, Jamie Sickels hit a screamer that got past the center fielder, and the runs continued to pile on.

Sickels went on to score, as did Saige Rice, Hagle and Briley.

The Panthers ended the night with 13 hits total.

Briley went 3-for-5 at the plate with four RBIs to lead the offense.

“It was good to see her get her bat going a little tonight,” McCabe said.

She also pitched six in-

addition to its annual $7.84 million positive economic impact.

Unfortunately, over the years, the continual runoff from its watershed has impacted the lake.

Because of a lake’s natural ability to retain sediments and nutrients, an excess began to accumulate, which has lowered the lake’s water quality for people, fish and wildlife.

The Jones County Conservation Board began working closely with local residents and conservation partners to restore the lake, starting in the watershed.

This work has included 1) acquisition of 79 acres within the watershed just upstream of the lake.

This was critical to permanently stabilize the soil and nutrients on the property and create a greater buffer around the lake; 2) installation of 4 septic systems, reclamation of the lagoon, and construction of two wetlands.

This ensured water from recreational activities and the watershed were treated before entering the lake; and 3) construction of a one and a half acre wetland and a seven acre pond completed in the spring 2016.

The final phase of the project includes dredging silt from the lake, sta-

bilizing the shoreline, and looking for opportunities to improve fish habitat and access. An updated boat ramp, dock and parking lot will improve boat and paddler access to the lake.

Fishing access will be enhanced with an ADA accessible parking lot, shoreline fishing access, and fishing pier.

Improvements to the beach and paddle craft rental access will allow easier parking, reduced slope on the beach surface, and an ADA accessible sidewalk to connect them.

To start the process, the lake will be drained sometime after Labor Day. Prior, game fish will be removed from the lake and placed in the newly constructed seven-acre pond, making it ready for use, or distributed to other ponds within the county.

Sediment dredging, fish habitat, shoreline work, and beach, fishing access, and boat ramp improvements will begin the summer of 2017 and extend into the spring of 2018.

The Jones County Conservation Board continues to work with the Department of Natural Resource’s Lake Restoration Program and pursue funding sources such as Parks to People Grant Wood Loop, Hawkeye Fly Fishing Association and private donors.

nings, struck out three, walked two and allowed five hits for the win.

Thomsen went 2-for-5, Higgins went 2-for-4, and Jami Sickels went 2-for-3.

Higgins scored three times, while Saige Rice, Briley and Little crossed home twice each.

McCabe feels confident even after a 2-0 loss to Winterset last week thanks to the experience on his squad.

“These kids have been there. They kind of know what it’s about and what this time of the year is like, that it can happen for anybody, it’s a new season and you have to go out and go 1-0 every night,” McCabe said.

third for the second out.

Wurster then threw to second to double off the other runner to end the inning.

The baserunning error, one of two, cost the Bulldogs greatly as they tried to stay in the game early.

“We got a little too aggressive,” said Orient-Macksburg coach Drew Dornack.

“Credit them, they made the plays when they needed too.”

Orient-Macksburg showed its grit late. The Raiders had what would have be the game-ending runs on base in the sixth with one out, but the Bulldogs escaped.

Orient-Macksburg then came to life offensively with a four-run sixth inning. The Bulldogshad an opportunity for even more, but left the bases loaded.

“We could’ve packed it in and got 10-runned relative-

ly easily in the sixth,” Dornack said. “We still battled, hopped to the plate and put the ball in play.”

The Bulldogs’ first run came in the first inning.

Orient-Macksburg’s Triston Davidson took the pitching loss.

The Bulldogs close the regular season 8-15.

The two teams meet up again Tuesday in the Class

1A District 14 first round.

First pitch is set for 5 p.m. in Greenfield.

Thursday’s game was a test Dornack wanted his team to see, just not with having to face the same team a few days later in the tournament.

“It wasn’t the draw we wanted, to then turn around four days later and play them again,” Dornack said. “It was nice to see them in person.”
