TRIPLE THREAT

2017 CCHS graduate is finalist for Iowa acting, singing, dancing award

Just 24 boys and 24 girls were selected as finalists for the 2017 Iowa Triple Threat Award.

Tyler Peters, 2017 Creston Community High School (CCHS) graduate and son of CCHS Band Director Mike Peters and Lisa Peters, was one of them.

The award selected for the best of the best — the state’s elite in acting, singing and dancing at the high school level. Less than 2 percent of the judged students (more than 4,500) from more than 60 participating high schools were deemed talented enough to compete for the award.

Peters, who has been involved in the performing arts since appearing as Aladdin in a sixth-grade production of “Aladdin Jr.,” was surprised at being named a finalist.

“I was not expecting it at all,” said Peters. “I was working in a speech group, and Mrs. (Jane) Warner called me into her office,

and she just got an email and I was very surprised.

This was our school’s first year doing it, and so nobody really knew what was going to happen. And so I was kind of the lucky person to test out the waters.”

Judges travelled to participating high schools on unnamed performance dates, seeking individuals

demonstrating “excellent acting, dancing and vocal talents.”

After being named a finalist, Peters traveled to Des Moines for a threeday theatre experience.

The Triple Threat Award nominees auditioned, worked with Broadway veterans and received private coaching from local

university faculty at the Des Moines Civic Center.

“It was a lot different than what I thought it was going to be,” said Peters. “I thought it was going to be some really intense work 24/7, but it was actually a lot of fun and just hanging out. We got to get to know everybody that was there.”

While in Des Moines,

Peters participated in a variety of group performances in front of a capacity crowd at the Civic Center, and performed a part of a solo he’d performed while at CCHS: “Put on a Happy Face” out of the stage musical “Bye Bye Birdie.” Peters also solo-auditioned as part of the competition.

“The coolest part was

that we have our two audition pieces,” said Peters.

“One from our high school musical (‘Put on a Happy Face’), and then an opposite-type song. Since that was a happy song, I had to pick a more emotional, slower ballad. I picked ‘Being Alive’ from ‘Company.’”

The audition was held in a private room in front of six or seven judges and an accompanist, according to Peters.

“It was kind of intimidating, actually,” said Peters. “(It) was kind of nerve wracking. Usually, when I go to any other honor-type event, I’ll have people I know and I’m not PETERS | 2A

YMCA and the Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days committee are holding a fundraising event with the opportunity to win up to $5,000 during this year’s Balloon Days.

participating, tickets can be purchased for $100. One ticket equals one square, and when all tickets are sold, which will happen through noon Sept. 15, the space will be split into the total number of tickets sold.

So, if 150 tickets are sold, the space will be split into 150 squares. A maximum of 300 tickets will be sold. “Our goal is to sell 300 squares. If we do not sell 300 squares, then we will reconfigure our grid and we’ll have just enough squares sold on the grid so the payout will be prorated based on the number of tickets sold,� Linch said.

Tickets can be purchased at the YMCA and Chamber of Commerce office, or by members of the chamber office or YMCA board. “Balloon Days is trying not to raise fees for our sponsors, and keep the event at the high level that it already Gerharz

is,� Gerharz said. “So, basically, we’re trying to cover our costs that are increasing and we don’t want to raise costs on everyone else.�

Linch said the YMCA administration doesn’t have a designated specific purpose for the funds raised, but that it “will continue with our mission of the YMCA.�

On Sept. 15, the area near the airport office will be plotted with the proper amount of squares based on tickets sold. Each ticket will be assigned a random numbered square prior to the event, and a map will be posted at the event.

Then a drone will drop a baggie at 6 p.m., and whichever square it lands in, the owner of that numbered ticket will win a maximum payout of $5,000, or a prorated amount. Adjacent squares will win $100 or a prorated amount.

Gerharz pointed out the baggie is set at a specific weight, and it is likely to be affected by the speed and direction of the wind on that day.

Winners need not be present to win. If it rains Sept. 15, the event will be moved to 11 a.m. Sept. 17 at the Y.

The two students named Triple Threat Award recipients were revealed during the Iowa High School Musical Theatre Award Showcase held June 5 at the Civic Center.

Poni Lejukole of Waukee High School and Demarius Fisher of Roosevelt High School were the two winners. Both traveled to New York City June 19-28 to represent Iowa at the National High School Musical Theatre Awards.

Although Peters did not win, he is glad to have had the opportunity to compete, and happy for those that got to go to New York to compete at the national level. Â

“I took a lot from it,� said Peters. “I got to meet some great friends, and it was just a huge learning opportunity for me, and I’m happy I did it. Because beforehand, I was kind of on the fence and not sure if I was going to enjoy it.

But I’m super happy I got to do it. It was a lot of fun. “I just want to thank Mrs. (Jane) Warner for the chances she has given me throughout the musicals,� said Peters, “and Jerry Huffman as well. And thanks to my parents, and Karlyn McCutchan who was really great working with my vocals throughout the summer.�

Peters will attend the University of South Dakota this fall, where he will study musical theatre. He received the university’s highest scholarship awarded to a freshman in the music theatre department.Â

World Livestock Auctioneer Champion to sell at Creston Livestock Auction KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Brian Curless, 2017 World Livestock Auctioneer Champion (WLAC), will be selling Wednesday, Aug. 23, at Creston Livestock Auction, 201 N. Cherry St., in Creston. Curless will be on the auction block selling cattle with the chant that earned him the world title.

Creston Livestock Auction will host a special anniversary sale with a barbecue lunch beginning at 11 a.m. For more information, including a list of consignments, see www.crestonlivestock.com. Curless defeated 30 other contestants to win WLAC at Public Auction Yards in Billings, M o n - Curless tana. The WLAC was created and is con-

ducted by the Livestock Marketing Association (LMA), a national trade association for progressive livestock marketing businesses. During his year as champion, Curless will travel across the U.S. with appearances at LMA member markets and industry events.

Local livestock markets across the country work diligently to bring in multiple buyers on sale day, increasing competition with more bids. This provides true price discovery of the value of all types of livestock, maximizing returns to the seller. In turn, markets provide buyers a centralized location with a ready supply of livestock in the offering.

In June 1963, LMA held the first annual WLAC at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Denver, Colorado. The purpose was to spotlight North America’s top livestock auctioneers and to salute their traditionally

important role in the competitive livestock marketing process. That year, 23 auctioneers from the United States and Canada sold the same 20 head of cattle over and over again.

The contest was conducted at hotels until 1967, when it traveled to its first LMA member market. Since then, the WLAC has been in conjunction with the LMA Annual Convention at member markets around the U.S. and Canada. Recent locations include Alabama, California, Kansas, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Alberta, Canada.

Though the rules have changed, the enthusiasm for the competition hasn’t. On average each year, nearly 100 auctioneers enter the qualifying events and only 31 (10 from each qualifying event, one from the auctioneering competition at Calgary Stampede) are selected to compete in the WLAC. The championship consists

of three stages: the regional qualifying events held at different markets around the country, followed by the semi-finals and the finals that are held each June in conjunction with the LMA Annual Convention. Contestants competing for the World Champion title must be 18 years old, employed as a livestock auctioneer and sponsored by a local auction market that shares in the favorable publicity generated by the winners.

The Livestock Marketing Association, headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, is North America’s largest membership organization dedicated to supporting, representing and communicating with and for the entire livestock marketing sector.

LMA has more than 800 member businesses across the U.S. and Canada, who in turn serve farmers, ranchers and rural communities.

Mourners at service honor woman killed at Virginia rally CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — The grandfather of the woman who was killed in violent protests in Virginia said Wednesday she always wanted fairness, even from a young age.

Elwood Shrader said at a memorial service for Heather Heyer that she showed her passion for equality at an early age and swiftly called out something that wasn’t right. He told about 1,000 mourners gathered inside a theater in Charlottesville that she wanted respect for everyone and believed all lives matter.

Before I left Chicago for Milwaukee, Keith handed me a stack of “You are beautiful” stickers and told me to spread the message.

An interesting development has happened in recent days.

When I first saw it, I didn’t think anything of it. When I walk along the sidewalk in front of the Creston News Advertiser office, I often see various items littered across the pavement – receipts, baseball cards, etc.

So when I first saw the painted green rock in front of our front door, I just assumed someone had dropped it.

But then the next day, I noticed it had a word painted on it. Of course, now the rock is missing in action and the past few days have been such a whirlwind that I cannot remember what the rock said.

Then, I saw on Facebook it wasn’t just random, but that several businesses in Creston had similar painted rocks placed in front of their doors.

The Reclaimed Wardrobe posted about a blue and green painted rock that says “Joy” that was left in front of its building.

Another painted rock that says “Be a friend” was placed on a bench in front of Quilts and Other Notions.

Cheryl Padgett-Keeler posted a photo on Facebook describing the goal of the rock project.

The photo says, “I am not ‘just a rock.’ I am what most people need. I am strong, I am bold and when painted I can really brighten the day. Paint a rock today, give it away, watch the joy spread. Who cares if you never see it again, you did your part, now let the rock do its part.”

Anyone interested in learning more about the project or participating can visit the Rocks of Creston Facebook page.

It’s a simple act of kindness spreading a positive message, and that’s what I like about it so much.

With so much hate permeating our world today, we need now more than ever for people to be spreading love and positive vibes.

So, to whoever started this project in Creston, I thank you. Keep up the good work.

You all might remember a few months ago when my good friend Keith Smith returned to Creston and painted the mural on the front

HINTS FROM HELOISE Coleslaw that’s fast

HOROSCOPE For Thursday, Aug. 17, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This week is an excellent time to entertain at home. It’s also a good time to explore real estate opportunities or ways to enhance the appearance of your home.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)For the next week, you have the ability to make money from your communications.

Whether you write or speak, your words will bring you wealth in different ways.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Continue to look for ways to boost your income during the next week, because you can do this. It could be in a minor way - or major!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Fair Venus is in your sign for the next week, making you charming and diplomatic with everyone. This also is an excellent time to buy wardrobe goodies, because you like what you see in the mirror.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Try to get physical exercise at this time, because you have lots of energy building up within you. If your energy has no place to go, it can make you impatient and irritable. Not good.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A friend is supportive toward you now, which is a good thing because someone else might not have your best interests at heart. Be grateful for support wherever you find it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Romance with a boss or someone in a position of authority might begin for some of you.

Meanwhile, you are likely to be in competition with someone else, especially in a group.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Travel opportunities continue to be wonderful for the next week. Likewise, this same celestial influence will attract romance with someone “different.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Do whatever you can to travel, because you are keen to broaden your horizons now.

Fortunately, someone may give you the funding or money to do this! Yay you!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Although disputes about shared property and inheritances are in the picture, your relationships with partners and close friends are excellent. You win some; you lose some.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be patient with partners and close friends now, even though they are annoying.

Fortunately, co-workers are supportive and helpful. In fact, you might develop a work-related romance.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)This week you are ready to party, but you will work hard simply because the opportunities are there. You won’t have to be a superhero to do this!

YOU BORN TODAY You are confident, reliable and calm.

You have excellent organizational skills. This is your power

year! Whatever you have done in the past will now come to fruition. This is a year of big decisions and major achievements. Activity is key. You will be involved and busy.

Opportunities for advancement and recognition for your work will happen.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: You had a recipe for FAST COLESLAW that was easy to make and had a nice taste to it. Having just graduated from college and moved into my first apartment, I have to prepare my own meals, and I’d love to have that recipe.

– Tiffany B., Hartford, Conn.

Tiffany, I’m happy to repeat my Fast Slaw recipe for you. Here it is: 1 (1-pound) package coleslaw mix 1/4 cup Italian dressing (or 1/2 cup, depending on your taste) 1/2 teaspoon celery seed 1/2 teaspoon dill 1 teaspoon soy sauce.

Place all ingredients in a large plastic bag and shake, shake, shake! You can add a teaspoon of lemon juice if you’d like, or if you want something with a bite, add a dash of hot sauce. If you’re looking for more recipes that have stood the test of time, go to my website, www.Heloise.com, or send a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope, along with $3, to: Heloise/Main Dishes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 782795001. Since you’re just start-

ing to make all of your own meals, you’ll find a wealth of new ideas and inspiration in various recipes. Once you start cooking, you’ll even develop your own twists on favorite foods. – Heloise BLENDER SLAW Dear Readers: Speaking of slaw, blender slaw appeared in my mother’s book “Heloise’s Kitchen Hints” back in 1963. I’ve retested it, and it’s as reliable today as it was back then. A reader in Ohio wrote to say that she cut her cabbage into large chunks, placed the chunks in a blender, then covered it with water and gave it a buzz. She drained the water, and she had slaw! I like to add some green salad olives, a little low-cal Italian dressing and a dash of dill. – Heloise HEAVY ORANGES Dear Heloise: My hint is something I didn’t learn until I was in my 50s: When buying oranges, pick the heaviest ones. They’re the ones that are very juicy and delicious! – Cathy B. in Houston HIDDEN SUGAR Dear Heloise: I’m discovering that many foods we eat – ketchup, yogurt, dried fruit, breakfast cereals, even

SUDOKU

some coleslaws – have sugar in them. I find this disturbing since there are many diabetics and people who are trying to lose weight who don’t know about these hidden sugars. – Kate G., Garden Grove, Calif.

Kate, it’s very important to read labels and keep abreast of nutrition news. Like you, I wish food manufacturers would cut back or eliminate sugar in their foods. A little sugar isn’t a bad thing, unless your doctor doesn’t want you to eat it. However, our American diets have very high amounts of sugar, which in one form or another is in many favorite foods. – Heloise FOOD FACTS Dear Readers: * According to the website Say No to Food Waste, in America it is estimated that between 40 percent and 50 percent of food is thrown away, which is about $165 billion worth of food. * If we reduced our wasted food by 20 percent, we could feed 25 million Americans.

South Central Iowa Athletes of the Year One of the best these parts have seen

n Creston’s Shiltz shows

what a once-in-a-lifetime player looks like as a senior and before.

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

Not much has gone unsaid about Chase Shiltz.

For the better part of three years, the Creston standout could easily have been anointed the best overall athlete in southwest Iowa.

The four-year star in multiple sports earned one last honor for his high school exploits before inevitable placement in any number of prep Hall of Fames pertaining to wrestling and football.

Always forward Despite wrestling being, by virtue of his accomplishments, his better sport, he aspired to be a better football player. The end of the Panther football season brought with it the realization that he could not envision the end of his pigskin career.

“Once I had my last football game and once football season was coming to an end and it just made me realize I was going to be able to give up wrestling a lot easier than I was going to be able to finish out football,” Shiltz said.

So he committed to the national championship-winning program in Maryville, Missouri.

He took consecutive sports seasons off for the first time in his life in the spring and the summer, bypassing baseball after a first-team all-Hawkeye caliber year as a junior.

Four-sport star wows and awes

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

The impact Paige McElfish made on Pride of Iowa and southwest Iowa athletics was immediate and can be traced back to the first moments she stepped onto the playing surface of her choosing.

McElfish was the Wolverines’ starting pitcher and one of the best hitters in her first varsity action as an eighth-grade softball player.

She homered in her first varsity game and picked up the win in the circle.

rings through. She couldn’t always play 32 minutes a game, but if you asked her to, she would.”

That drive made McElfish a leader in every sport she took up. She owned the attention of her peers and opponents alike from a young age, and took on the resulting responsibilities. Some of the Wolverines’ older players in several sports looked to her for leadership.

By the time her senior season rolled around, her leadership was unquestioned in every sport.

Even first-year volleyball coach Allison Bjork saw it quickly upon arrival, noting that she took to playing several different spots, including libero as a defensive specialist.

“She could have played any spot on the court, honestly, and that’s very rare for a volleyball player,” Bjork said.

Per Bjork, McElfish showcased an, at times, goofy demeanor, but got serious when necessary.

But her play, just like in her stronger sports of softball and basketball, spoke loudest.

“She took on that captain role just like a senior should,” Bjork added.

“Mostly it was her on the court the role.”

At no point did McElfish’s drive make her unpleasant to be around as a teammate, or away from sports.

Every one of her coaches glowed in their praise of the outgoing senior’s personality.

“Paige is good to everybody. She’s not going to talk down to anybody,” Nodaway Valley softball coach Ray Stewart said. “If a little kid wanted to do something, she’d be the first one there to do it, to help MCELFISH | 7A

her.�

Believe it or not, after all of this time as a foursport athlete, McElfish is a bit tired of sports. She looks forward to adjusting to the next stage of her life as a student at Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs without participating in sports.

She’s not the type to

be quickly forgotten in Greenfield, even while competiting at the same time as 2016 South Central Iowa Male Athlete of the Year Jackson Lamb. “Jackson was very known in the area. He won very many awards.

It’s a good feeling to sit up there with him,� McEflish said.

Her coaches are more than aware of how difficult it will be to account for her abscence.

With a freshman year of college without varsity athletics being her course of action, she certainly owes nothing to anyone after putting in years of work.

And, while coaches around the area may currently rejoice at a future of not having to go up against McElfish-led Nodaway Valley teams, none would be disappointed to see the success she sustains in her next step.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Kirk Ferentz became the nation’s longest-tenured coach this offseason.

That hardly meant that the Iowa Hawkeyes have become complacent.

Despite a 20-7 mark over the past two seasons — including a 14-4 record in Big Ten games — Iowa’s offense was trending in the wrong direction. The Hawkeyes cleaned house after scoring just three points in a blowout bowl loss to Florida, promoting Ferentz’s son, former New England Patriots assistant Brian, to offensive coordinator. “I’m all about stability.

I think that’s a really important thing. But a little spice in the recipe doesn’t hurt things,� Kirk Ferentz said. “We had some things on our board that, boy, we better get better at these or we’re going to pay for it

Even when Shiltz isn’t practicing, he’s working.

entz, now the country’s leader in seniority following Bob Stoops’ retirement, prepares for his 19th season as Iowa’s coach: QB battle It’s been years since the Hawkeyes went into preseason practices with such a lack of clarity at the game’s most important position.

Sophomore Nathan Stanley so impressed the coaching staff in fall camp last year that they burned his redshirt and made him C.J. Beathard’s backup.

But Stanley couldn’t separate himself from junior Tyler Wiegers in the spring, and the two opened August workouts splitting snaps with the first unit. The competition for the starting job could stretch into Iowa’s opener on Sept. 2 against Wyoming. “I think history has proven you can be successful and have a successful team

BUSINESS/FARM

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, August 16, 2017

Neely-Kinyon Field Day planned in Greenfield GREENFIELD – The organic agriculture industry continues to grow and was listed as a $43 billion industry in the United States in 2015, with an 11 percent increase in the number of organic businesses. In addition, local food producers continue to increase in Iowa, marketing their crops through community supported agriculture operations, farmers’ markets and to restaurants and food service outlets. The Iowa State University Organic Ag Programs (OAP) will highlight organic research and practices at the Neely-Kinyon Field Day from 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 22, in Greenfield. A farm tour, followed by light supper and after-supper speaker will be included. The OAP has studied best-management practices for maintaining high yields while enhancing soil and water quality for transitioning and certified organic farmers. Through timely weed management,

longer crop rotations and appropriate manure-based fertilization, the program has demonstrated comparable organic corn, soybean, oat, alfalfa, vegetable and fruit yields compared to conventional crops. Greater soil quality has been shown through the use of extended crop rotations, cover crops and compost applications.

The after-supper speaker, highlighting organic practices on a certified organic integrated vegetable/livestock farm, will be Denise O’Brien of Rolling Acres Farm in Atlantic. Since 1976, O’Brien and Larry Harris have been committed to organic production and cultivating local food.

The farm, which has been in the Harris family for multiple generations, nourishes the community in the Atlantic and Omaha, Nebraska, area with fresh, delicious, chemical-free foods.

The farm produces vegetables, from Asia greens to zucchini, as well as a wide

variety of fruits, herbs and flowers. They also specialize in the production of naturally raised antibioticand hormone-free turkeys and free-range chickens.

A high tunnel nurtures lettuce, spinach and fresh cut flowers for early-season production. O’Brien has been active in many roles besides farmer, including founder of Women’s Food and Agriculture Network, grandmother, candidate for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture and former agriculture adviser in Afghanistan. She will share tips for successful organic production that she has developed over the years and discuss summer growing, marketing opportunities and challenges in 2017.

Highlights of the farm tour will include the longterm agroecological research experiment, which is one of the oldest comparisons of organic and conventional crops in the U.S., and the organic vegetable re-

search (OVR) experiment, which compares performance of organic production with cover crops versus tilled and mulched systems.

The OVR has partnered with Dr. Bill Tracy of University of Wisconsin-Madison in trialing his organic sweet corn varieties, which are bred for insect and disease tolerance, along with excellent taste. Dr. Cynthia Cambardella, soil scientist with USDA-ARS in Ames, will present soil- and water-quality data from these sites. She has documented a 50 percent reduction in nitrate loading from organic versus conventional systems at her Ames research site. In addition to the organic cropping systems research, Mike Witt with ISU Extension will discuss issues facing producers this summer, including insects and disease, herbicide drift and weather problems, which included a wet spring and drought in July, which affected planting and, now,

potentially, yields from moisture stress.

The field day will start at 4 p.m. with a light supper at 5:30 p.m. The farm is located at 2557 Norfolk Ave. in Greenfield. Directions: Two miles south of Greenfield on Highway 25, one mile east and a half mile north.

Contact Kathleen Delate at kdelate@iastate.edu or 515-294-7069 for more information. The field day is supported by the Leopold Center for sustainable agriculture. Organic research information is available at http://extension.agron. iastate.edu/organicag.

Union County Planning Committee seeks public input A planning committee comprised of representatives from Union County, the incorporated cities, public school districts, Southwestern Community College, Greater Regional Medical Center and other stakeholders is currently updating the comprehensive Union County multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan. The Union County hazard mitigation planning committee is seeking public input for the plan update.

A summary of the plan update effort underway, as well as a questionnaire to capture public opinion and comments, is available online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/UnionCO-IA. Hard copies of the questionnaire will also be available at city hall loca-

tions in the county during normal operating hours.

The survey will be available until Sept. 30. The purpose of this outreach effort is to provide information to the public on the plan that is being updated as well as gain public input.

The plan update will address a comprehensive list of hazards – ranging from severe winter storms and flooding to hazardous materials incidents and tornadoes – and will assess the likely impacts of these hazards on communities and school districts in Union County. This effort will also update current strategies and identify additional strategies to reduce the vulnerability of people and property in the participating jurisdictions from the impacts of hazards, as well

as maintain eligibility for participating jurisdictions for mitigation funding programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Union County has taken the lead in coordinating the update of this plan under the direction of Emergency Management Director Jo Anne Duckworth.

The county has drawn on the expertise of consultants with Amec Foster Wheeler Environment and Infrastructure, a firm that specializes in hazard mitigation and emergency management.

Upon approval by the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department and FEMA, the plan will be presented to the Union County Board of Supervisors, city councils, school boards or other governing body of each participating jurisdiction for formal adoption.
