Greater Regional Medical Center (GRMC) recently received record-high patient experience reviews.

The news was broached during the center’s board of trustees regularly-held monthly meeting on Monday.

“We set a goal to have a 90 average score (out of 100),” said LouAnn Snodgrass, patient experience quality officer for the medical center. “And I would like to recognize Greater

Regional, because for the first time s i n c e 2003, all four of those surveys (in- Snodgrass patient, outpatient, ER, surgical), achieved a 90 mean score on those questions at the same time.”

Greater Regional has been surveying its patients in-house since 2003.

The center collects its survey results both in paper and electronically, and feels them to be reliable and significant enough for reference and use. Random surveys are sent out to patients who are admitted to the center, patients who’ve had surgery, patients who’ve visited the ER and patients

who’ve come for outpatient services like X-rays, among other services.

The medical center’s highest scoring provider specialties were ENT (ear, nose and throat) and general surgery.

The center’s highest single-scoring specific patient experience was in explanations regarding what to expect during radiation — which scored a mean value of 97 among patients polled.

“I want to applaud our staff and leadership,” summarized Greater Regional CEO Monte Neitzel.

“It’s outstanding that we met our patient e x p e r i - Neitzel

For the past two years, the medical center’s ER average patient experience has increased. And over the past year, outpatient average experience has increased and inpatient experience has trended positively in the areas of nursing, tests and treatments, visitors and families and personal issues.

Greatest recent increases in patient-experience scores went to waiting time for radiology and ambulatory surgery.

More rain, more dead: Harvey floods keeps Houston paralyzed HOUSTON (AP) — Floodwaters reached the rooflines of single-story homes Monday and people could be heard pleading for help from inside as Harvey poured rain on the Houston area for a fourth consecutive day after a chaotic weekend of rising water and rescues.

The nation’s fourth-largest city remained mostly paralyzed by one of the largest downpours in U.S. history. And there was no relief in sight from the storm that spun into Texas as a Category 4 hurricane, then parked over the Gulf Coast. With nearly 2 more feet of rain expected on top of the 30plus inches in some places, authorities worried that the worst might be yet to come.

Harvey has been blamed for at least three confirmed deaths, including a woman killed Monday in the town of Porter, northeast of Houston, when a large oak tree dislodged by heavy rains toppled onto her trailer home.

A Houston woman also said she presumes six members of a family, including four of her grandchildren, died after their van sank into Greens Bayou in East Houston.

Virginia Saldivar told The Associated Press her brother-in-law was driving the van Sunday when a strong current took the vehicle over a bridge and into the bayou.

The driver was able to get out and urged the children to escape through the back door, Saldivar said, but they could not.

“I’m just hoping we find the bodies,” Saldivar said.

Houston emergency of-

ficials couldn’t confirm the deaths. But Police Chief Art Acevedo said he’s “really worried about how many bodies we’re going to find” amid the disaster, which u n f o l d - Acevedo ed on an epic scale in one of America’s most sprawling metropolitan centers.

The Houston metro area covers about 10,000 square miles, an area slightly bigger than New Jersey. It’s crisscrossed by about 1,700 miles of channels, creeks and bayous that drain into the Gulf of Mexico, about 50 miles to the southeast from downtown.

The storm is generating an amount of rain that would normally be seen only once in more than 1,000 years, said Edmond Russo, a deputy district engineer for the Army Corps of Engineers, which was concerned that floodwater would spill around a pair of 70-year-old reservoir dams that protect downtown Houston.

The flooding was so widespread that the levels of city waterways have equaled or surpassed those of Tropical Storm Allison from 2001, and no major highway has been spared some overflow.

The city’s normally bustling business district was virtually deserted Monday, with emergency vehicles making up most of the traffic.

DEATHS Sharon Hower Diagonal

On Friday, Aug. 25, 2017, heaven gained a precious angel, Sharon Kay (Britt) Hower, entered into eternal peace at Greater Regional Hospice Home at the age of 73. Sharon not only gained her wings but she received the “smoking hot body” she’s b e e n waiting for from I o w a Cremation. A comea n d - g o Hower celebration of life will be 11 a.m.

Saturday, Sept. 9, at Unity Church of Diagonal with a luncheon to follow. Casual dress is requested. There will be words from Tim Maxa and Ed Shiels at the beginning and end of the celebration. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be directed to HCI Hospice Care Services, 1111 Country Club Drive, Creston, IA 50801.

Sharon was born April 20, 1944, to William Alan and Eva Pearl (Watts) Britt, in their home on Highway 62 in Mountain Home, Arkansas. Sharon was one of 10 children, Ray, Tiny (Glenn), Norman, Ruby Jean, Nadine, Bill (June), Ronald, Donnie and Mikey.

She grew up attending school in Mountain Home, Arkansas. Over the years, she was employed at Baxter Lab, Williams Café, Taylor Fiberglass, Sheridan Egg and Texaco, and she also provided daycare services.

In 1966, Sharon met Richard (Dick) Lee Hower, the love her life, in Mountain Home, Arkansas. Sharon and Dick were married May 29, 1967, in Grant City, Missouri. Sharon’s love for her family was endless, however, the love for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren was even greater.

She loved planting and caring for her multiple flower gardens and collecting angels. Sharon also shared a strong bond with her best friends, Barb Strange and Linda Klug, and her niece, Debbie Parks.

CLARIFICATION An article published in Monday’s Creston News Advertiser regarding potential upgrades to the Creston Community High School auditorium said “with the school district’s budget tightening over the past several years, administrators didn’t think they

could set aside more money for the auditorium upgrades.”

Creston Community High School Activities Director Jeff Bevins said the school district has already contributed $30,000 toward the auditorium project’s goal of $142,000.

information on what we’re doing right, and where we have opportunities for improvement.”

Though a recent addition, the medical center’s ur-

gent care clinic scored high marks in OBGYN and general surgery.

“And I would caveat that,” said Snodgrass, “with generally, you’re seeing those because you’re having a baby — which you’re excited about — or you’re getting something fixed, which you’re also excited about.”

Greater Regional Medical Center opened on its current site in Creston in May of 1967.

GRMC is the largest health care facility in the area, and is notably equipped with an intensive care unit, birthing center, 24-hour emergency services and a fully-equipped sur-

gery department.

“I want to thank the entire staff, leadership, employees for embracing this (patient experience polling),” said Neitzel. “It was a stretch goal (getting to a 90 mean) and we obtained that even with the growth. I want to applaud all the effort and I’m very proud of that.”

Foundation funds improvement at hospital CORNING – At the push of a button, life can be easier in some situations. The Mercy Health Care Foundation recently paid for the installation of interior automatic door openers at CHI Health Corning Clinic and Specialty Clinic interior entrance doors.

Giving assistance to patients and families with care and compassion every day is what CHI Health staff does. An area recognized as needing upgraded were the doors to the medical and specialty clinics. The foundation board decided to have the Light of Hope funds support purchase and installation of electronic door openers. This will free up the hands of staff to be able to assist patients with limited mobility or using wheelchairs or walkers.

“Last fall when we asked staff at the hospital and clinics for a Light of Hope project idea, the automatic door openers were submitted,” said LuAnne Brown, foundation president. “The foundation directors were on board immediately with that idea. We’ve all had family and friends that have been either temporarily or permanently needing assistance due to physical limitations.”

The Light of Hope is an

Rescuers continued plucking people from the floodwaters. Mayor Sylvester Turner put the number by police at more than 3,000. The Coast Guard said it also had rescued more than 3,000 by boat and air and was taking more than 1,000 calls her hour.

Chris Thorn was among the many volunteers still helping with the mass evacuation that began Sunday.

He drove with a buddy from the Dallas area with their flat-bottom hunting boat to pull strangers out of the wa-

annual appeal offered by the foundation each November and December.

Donors may recognize family and friends with tags on a lit tree in the hospital lobby while providing support for a designated project at hospital and clinics. Some of the past projects funded by

the Light of Hope have included hi/low patient exam tables, healing garden, patient room renovations, cancer patient support, exam chair for wound management clinic and providing support for building medical clinics in Lenox and Bedford.

“I invite anyone want-

ing to know more about how they can support the hospital through projects, like this one or our future projects, to contact Mercy Health Care Foundation at 641-322-6276,” Brown said. “There is always a need for funds for projects that just cannot be met through regular budgets.”

ter.

“I couldn’t sit at home and watch it on TV and do nothing since I have a boat and all the tools to help,” he said.

They got to Spring, Texas, where Cypress Creek had breached Interstate 45 and went to work, helping people out of a gated community near the creek.

“It’s never flooded here,” Lane Cross said from the front of Thorn’s boat, holding his brown dog, Max. “I don’t even have flood insurance.”

A mandatory evacuation was ordered for the low-lying Houston suburb of Dickinson, home to 20,000.

Police cited the city’s fragile infrastructure in the floods, limited working utilities and concern about the weather forecast.

In Houston, questions continued to swirl about why the mayor did not issue a similar evacuation order.

Turner has repeatedly defended the decision and did so again Monday, insisting that a mass evacuation of

millions of people by car was a greater risk than enduring the storm.

“Both the county judge and I sat down together and decided that we were not in direct path of the storm, of the hurricane, and the safest thing to do was for people to stay put, make the necessary preparations. I have no doubt that the decision we made was the right decision.”

He added, “Can you imagine if millions of people had left the city of Houston and then tried to come back in right now?”

The Red Cross quickly set up the George R. Brown Convention Center and other venues as shelters.

By Monday night, 7,000 people have arrived at the shelter set up inside the George R. Brown Conven-

tion Center — which originally had an estimated capacity of 5,000.

Red Cross spokesman Lloyd Ziel said that volunteers made more space inside the center, which also was used to house Hurricane Katrina refugees from New Orleans in 2005, in part by pushing some cots closer together. A shortage of cots means some people will have to sleep on chairs or the floor.

The center settled down at night, after an occasionally chaotic day that saw thousands of evacuees arrive in the pouring rain. Officers and volunteers at times rushed to attend to those with medical needs, including two men who were suspected of having taken a street drug. Officials said both recovered within an hour.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, August 29, 2017

Is this the year you will attend?

Editor’s note: This is the seventh guest column by Kyle Wilson. His columns normally publish in the Creston News Advertiser on the fourth Tuesday of every month.

Here’s something I doubt you knew about me.

In 1996, I ran in the National Cross Country meet held in Cleveland, Ohio. I competed against probably 350 middle schoolers from across the nation that year.

The course, which weaved along the shores of Lake Erie, was relatively flat. That was a plus for me considering I’d been training hills with Michael Dodge for weeks back home in Creston.

Dodge was a varsity cross country runner for Creston coach Pat Schlapia that year and had kindly agreed to accompany me on a few runs, giving me pointers about running style and breathing techniques if I remember correctly.

But, the course’s lack of elevation wasn’t really all that beneficial in the end. When the gun sounded, all the experienced runners sprinted full speed the first 400 meters, detaching from the pack.

It was too late when I realized that’s what I should have done.

Instead, I got stuck in the crowded company of other adrenaline-filled 11-year-olds. And, that didn’t go well. A few runners fell down, some got trampled.

I finished somewhere in the upper 100s that day. It was late fall in Cleveland and the wind was blowing briskly off the Great Lake. My poor parents were icicles when I

In Transit Kyle Wilson guest columnist crossed the finish line.

I didn’t do much distance running after that. I played football in middle school and high school.

Recently though, my wife has been running some half marathons.

She’s now motivated me to signup for the half marathon in Des Moines on Oct. 15. So, I’ve been training and during those practice runs I listen to Dave Ramsey podcasts.

Ramsey is both a radio host and best-selling author who gives financial advice to callers on this podcast for about three hours each weekday.

Topics vary, but can be as broad as budgeting, life insurance and investing. They can also be as specific as how to properly deal with debt collectors or best practices for purchasing investment real estate.

I started listening to the podcast about three years ago, shortly after my wife and I completed Ramsey’s 9-week course called Financial Peace University (FPU) at Salem Lutheran Church in Creston.

I listen to the podcast now for two reasons: 1) To stay sharp on the principles Ramsey teaches 2) To stay motivated toward our goal.

This strategy has worked. In the

kylew3516@gmail.com @k_wilson85

past 35 months, my wife Stormy and I have paid off a considerable amount of debt and are on pace to be completely debt free by 2019.

The FPU course held in Creston each year is coordinated by Wayne Pantini and Chuck Taylor. They’ll be offering the course again starting Sept. 10 at Salem Lutheran Church.

This will be their fifth year coordinating the class together. Last year, 14 families graduated from FPU. Each year, I’m compelled to write this column because those two, and this course, have helped our family so much.

Listen, I know that a course like this is often met with hesitancy, skepticism and even fear. Sometimes it’s hard to come eye to eye with your finances.

That said, my advice is to check out his podcast over the next week.

You’re one Google search away.

Listen to his principles. Listen to Ramsey help callers “with the heart of a teacher.”

Then make your decision if this is the year you attend.

Hope to see you Sept. 10.

Listed are the seven “Baby Steps” taught by Dave Ramsey during Financial Peace University. He talks about these steps in more depth on his podcast, which is available for free to download each weekday.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Another random act of kindness shown From Mary Cochran Creston

On Tuesday evening, Aug. 22, I stopped for a soft serve ice cream from Casey’s on Townline Road. I asked if I could get a quart, but the only containers they had were the little cups with no lids. The gentleman helping me was trying so hard to get me what I needed. They did have the snack containers that had lids, which would be perfect. He

filled them up, and then got a carrier with a handle for me.

I go to the cashier and I thought she asked if I had paid for it, so I said no, I hadn’t paid yet. She said, no, this has already been paid for, but I assured her I hadn’t paid my bill yet. What she was telling me was the last man at the counter paid for my ice cream and had already left.

I don’t know who to thank, so I will do something nice for someone else very soon.

The next protest HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Charlottesville covered up the Confederate statues deemed so offensive to leftist demonstrators Friday. Next, animal rights activists will gather in Manhattan for a huge protest to demand the removal of the Empire State Building. They say it is a constant reminder of the murder of King Kong.

Hurricane Harvey roared through thousands of gulf oil rigs Friday causing major worries on shore. It’s hoped they don’t break and spill into the bays.

Democrats are worried that the oil will get into the drinking water while Republicans are worried that the drinking water will get into the oil.

President Trump’s low poll numbers were joined last week by abysmally low approval ratings for both Congress and for the job the mainstream media is doing. It seems everyone’s shooting in every direction. My desire to remain well-informed is currently at war with my desire to remain sane.

President Trump pardoned

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Friday in Phoenix. The Founders gave the U.S. president the power of pardon, military command, veto, judicial, cabinet and regulatory agency appointments. England is a Republic disguised as a Monarchy, while America is Monarchy disguised as a Republic.

Special Counsel Bob Mueller’s top Trump-Russia investigator resigned Thursday. It was a sad day for the mainstream media.

An optimist sees the glass as half-full, the pessimist sees the glass as half-empty, while CNN and the New York Times sees the glass as proof of Trump’s collusion with Russia.

ESPN caused a furor by removing an Asian-American play-by-play announcer named Robert Lee from calling the University of Virginia football game.

They had good reason. It was so that Broadway fans won’t think

they were watching a politically correct musical about a Founding Father.

The Royal Zoological Society reported that the female panda on loan from China to Scotland and the Edinburgh Zoo named Tian Tian has gotten pregnant.

Good job of looking after Tian Tian, Scotland. Peace in the world could now depend on whether the offspring is a panda or a McDonald.

Saudi police in Riyadh last week arrested a 14-year-old boy for dancing on a sidewalk in view of traffic. When they arrested him, he was dancing the Macarena. Next time you wonder what people are still living in the Dark Ages, remember that the Macarena is just getting to Saudi Arabia.

Japan warned North Korea not to doubt its ability to defend itself Friday. I always wondered why Japanese Kamikaze pilots in World War II wore helmets.

If any of these helmets survived colliding head-on with a U.S. battleship, the NFL might want to quietly buy the patent to the design.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I see that I can DEPOSIT A CHECK by taking a picture of it.

What can you tell me about this? – Karen D. in Kentucky Karen, this is called “remote deposit capture,” or “RDC.” The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. says this is a safe way to deposit a check.

Here is how it works: You need to download your bank’s or credit union’s mobile banking app on your phone or tablet computer.

When you have a check to deposit, sign the back of the check (endorse it). The app will prompt you to take a picture of the check, front and back.

Then you will choose which account to deposit the funds into, and enter the dollar amount of the check. The app will let you know right away that the transaction was successful.

Here are some hints: * Make sure the entire check is photographed, centered and in focus. * Your cellphone provider may charge you a data fee – inquire about that; the financial institution typically does not charge for this service. * Keep the original check until you are sure there are no problems with the depos-

it.

This is a timesaver, so check with your bank about this service. – Heloise PAINTIN’ PLACE Dear Heloise: When tackling the chore of cleaning or even painting kitchen cabinets, it often is difficult to see the underside of the cabinets I’m working on, and the constant bending of my neck and back made the job slow and hard.

I found that by positioning a mirror on the counter below where I’m working, I didn’t have to bend constantly to look to see if I’d gotten it all, or had missed any spots. – Phyllis F., Rootstown, Ohio DORM NORM Dear Readers: Here are some quickie hints for dormlife decorating: * The dorm mattresses may be extra long. Look for extra-long sheets. * Bring cleaning supplies.

The dorm office may not provide these, or it might have just brooms and vacuums. * Bring pictures of family and friends to warm the space. * Coordinate with your roommate, if you have one, on colors. – Heloise

JUST HANGIN’ AROUND Dear Heloise: I wrap a rubber band around each end of a hanger. This prevents blouses and T-shirts from slipping off the hanger and ending up on the floor in the closet! – Barbara H. in Arizona ANCIENT LIBRARY? Dear Heloise: Today, everything is at our fingertips.

Got a question? Look up the answer on the internet on your phone.

The thrill of the pursuit of information seemingly is over. I loved going to the library, flipping through the paper catalog and going on a treasure hunt for the book I wanted up in “the stacks” (the book storage area).

Just curious – what do your readers think of this? Is the library becoming a dinosaur? – Rick D. in Pennsylvania Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at) Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

The proposed baseball/softball/soccer complex is located south of the Casey’s Store in Murray.

Danny Jensen, Murray softball coach, said grants have been sought for the project and about about $25,000 has been raised to date.

“We have spent about $18,000 on design work for the project,” Jensen said. “We need to raise an additional $25,000 in order to qualify for certain larger grants.

We will have committee people at the meeting to show details of the project and answer questions. We would use one of the fields for youth league and junior high games in the future and we would love to have Little League parents to attend.”

Jensen said DEKKO is one of the major grant suppliers. He estimated cost of the project at $1.25 million.

“We are taking pledges for the next month to get the $25,000 we need,” Jensen said. “We are taking pledges for one, two or three years and we’re looking for interest from Clarke County businesses.”

Jensen said three phases of the project are planned, with hopes of completing the entire project in one year if funding is in place.

“We have about 60 kids in soccer and about 90 kids in Little League and we’re looking to get public support for the project,” Jensen said.

“We need to get folks involved in marketing and fundraising.”

Area volleyball: Eagles split at Clarke invite, Wolverines fall ■ Young

EU squad looking to find footing, Wolverines struggle at start

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

OSCEOLA — East Union got its fall volleyball season underway with exciting positives and visible areas of needed imrpovement in a split at Saturday’s Clarke Invitational.

East Union started the day with a 2-0 win over Bedford (21-15, 21-8), then lost consecutive matches to Des Moines Lincoln (2-0 score in 21-13, 21-17 sets) and Clarke (2-1 score in 21-19, 16-21, 13-15 sets).

The Eagles finished with a win in three games against Lamoni, losing the first set 25-20, only to roar back with wins of 25-18 and 15-7.

“Our passing, our defensive specialists are really passing the ball up well,” East Union coach Gail Thatcher said. “I knew hitting was going to be a little but of a struggle for us.

We’re still young.”

Digging up her fair share of balls was libero Callie Gossman, who tallied 17 of those Saturday while also going 41 for 43 on serves, including 20 for 20 against Bedford. Jayden Welcher also figured into the Eagles’ good day on the defensive end.

Eagles in the past, her athleticism is needed in and around the front row this season.

Eckels tallied 18 kills, including 10 in the win over Lamoni. Alissa Weinkoetz added 14 kills.

Megan Mitchell was consistent in her passing as she aided the Eagle attack with 50 assists.

“I thought Olivia Eckels did a really nice job lead-

ing today,” Thatcher said.

“She’s played libero in the past, but we have to have her hitting and she’s really getting after the ball.”

Where East Union’s youth and timidity was still obvious to Thatcher, the day was a positive step toward where the Eagles want to be in Pride of Iowa conference play. She spoke of “releasing the animal” within them and pursuing a more aggres-

PANTHER FRESH/JV FB Freshmen win BOONE — Creston/O-M freshmen defeated Boone 33-6 Friday.

Brance Baker had three touchdown receptions from quarterback Cole Strider and Cael Kralik had one touchdown reception.

Strider also returned an interception for a touchdown.

Coach Kevin Cooper said Kolby Hulett was the team’s leading rusher.

Hulett and Garron Wurster were the leading tacklers.

“It was a great way for us to kick off our season,” Cooper said. “We took advantage of some early mistakes by Boone and kept

the pressure on them. We need to continue to improve each night in practice, and it could shape up to be a great season for our freshman team.”

Turnovers much for JV

too

Boone 32, Creston/O-M 12 The Creston/Orient-Mackbsurg junior varsity team faced turnover troubles as they fell in their first home game of the season Monday against Boone, 32-12.

The Panthers turned the ball over seven times, including four interceptions as quarterback Gavin Gil-

lam was 11 for 20 passing with two touchdowns.

Both of Gilliam’s scoring strikes were to Eli Hartman, who hauled in a miraculous one-handed catch to end the first half, and evaded several would-be-tacklers to give Creston/O-M its first points of the game in trailing 26-8 at the half.

Brayton Chesnut had four catches for 14 yards and Luke Latham caught three for 34.

sive approach to the game.

Their all-around game just needs work as players settle into new roles.

Back to practice they’ll go to address the problems that arose Saturday.

“We’re gojng to work on serve receive and turning it into hits and finding holes on the floor instead of just hitting it to the same spots over and over,” Thatcher said.

Spartan volleyball off to slow start ■ Nebraska

not kind to SWCC over the weekend

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

Beatrice, Neb. — Southwestern volleyball did not jump out to the start it anticipated for the 2017 season, falling in four consecutive matches at the RKP Invitational in Beatrice, Nebraska over the course of Friday and Saturday.

Hitting errors and mental mistakes hindered SWCC, whose mistakes led to the Spartans winning just one set over their first three matches of the season.

SWCC fell 3-1 to McCook Community College, falling in the first two games 25-23 and 25-22, before picking up a 25-22 third-set victory. The quick spurt didn’t last into the fourth, as McCook hammered SWCC 25-11 to end the match.

The Spartans fell in close fashion to Southeast Community College by close margins of 25-23 and 25-22. Again, the Spartans faced trouble in the final set with a 25-14 loss.

Sydney Maynes and Kelcie Shields led SWCC with 11 and seven kills respectively, but 17 attacking errors hurt just as much.

The Spartans found themselves out of position, as the team still tries to find its chemistry. But the team did find strong spots on the attack.

Ashley Porter and Taylor Damewood combined for 24 digs, and Ashley Kopplin dug up the volleyball 15 times.

SWCC lost in straight sets

to Colby Community College, falling 25-15, 26-24 and 25-17 to start Saturday.

Kopplin and Hannah Ryan led the Spartans with 13 and 11 digs respectively, as Jada Perkins added eight. Porter’s seven assists led SWCC. “We played some really tough games and I think we just need to rise to that and realize we are capable of playing that well,” Cleaver said.

“Communicating and being in the right spot and trusting each other and once they all do, we’ll be fun to watch and we’ll be able to compete with teams that we couldn’t complete with before.”

That came closer to fruition as SWCC battled its way to a 3-2 loss to Cloud County Community College to finish the weekend.

A hard-fought victory in the first set 27-25 swung the other direction as Cloud County pulled out a 25-19 win in set two.

Southwestern squeaked out another win in the third, 25-23, before falling 25-20 and 15-9.

Kopplin’s 20 digs helped SWCC get more on the offensive, while Porter (21) and Damewood (12) pushed SWCC to a weekend-high 38 kills. A total of 23 of those came from Mount Ayr native Shields.

UP NEXT — SWCC (0-4), plays at Ottawa University JV Tuesday at 7 p.m. Wednesday, the Spartans host their first home game of the season against North Iowa Area Community College. ”It’s definitely a big matchup for us and definitely a good opponent for us,” Cleaver said. “It’s a game we really need to get if we want to make a statement in the conference.”

When the dust settled, it was Foote picking up his second win of the season.

Van Eaton held off James for second place, while Randy Foote took home fourth place and John Davis rounded out the top five.

Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING – A total of 90 cars hit the dirt Saturday night at the Adams County Speedway for Poet Bio-Refining Night with the Poet Bio-Refining Modified King of the Hill.

Saturday’s action also included the Midwest Classic Stock Car Association’s first ever appearance at ACS. Larry Knop picked up the feature win in the premiere race.

The fifth Keystone Light Smoothest Driver was crowned, this one coming in the Modified division.

The three finalists were T.J. Patterson, Jesse Dennis and Todd Van Eaton.

The fans selected Van Eaton as the “Smoothest” driver in the modified class.

Tri-State Ford Compacts Evan Hrabik started his 2017 campaign on a strong note in the Tri-State Ford Compacts, however a recent string of bad luck had plagued him prior to Saturday night. His luck changed for the better and the Nebraska native found himself in victory lane.

Hrabik took the lead in the early stages of the race and never looked back, holding off charges from points leader Dustin Thompson but refusing to budge en route to his fifth win of the season. Thomp-

The Bedford native came into Satu r d a y n i g h t looking to tie his Ramsey own record for wins in a season with eight. He did just that Saturday, but he had to earn it by engaging in an exciting battle with Jamie Songer that ended with Songer spinning out with two laps to go.

Ramsey then had to hold off a charge from Chris Bates to capture his eighth win of the season. Bates came home with a career-best second-place finish. David Weeda finished

Stalker Chevrolet B-Modifieds Red Oak native Josh Sink came into Saturday night as the NASCAR Division III National Points Leader, and he extended his national lead by picking up his third win of the season in the Stalker Chevrolet B-Modifieds.

Daniel Baudler led the early stages of the race, but a caution toward the middle part of the race bunched the field back up and allowed Sink to get around Baudler for the lead. Points leader Jerod Weston passed Baudler for second, but couldn’t manage to find a way to get around Sink. Baudler finished in the top three for the second consecutive week.

Sharapova edges No. 2 Halep at U.S. Open

By HOWARD FENDRICH

AP Tennis Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — So much about Maria Sharapova was the same as it ever was during her first Grand Slam match since a 15-month doping suspension: the shot-punctuating shrieks, the aggressive baseline style, the terrific returning, the sometimes-shaky serving.

Another familiar sight: The five-time major champion gutted out a victory.

Sharapova recovered after faltering midway through the match and emerged to beat No. 2-seeded Simona Halep 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 at the U.S. Open on Monday night to reach the second round.

“This girl has a lot of grit and she’s not going anywhere,” Sharapova told the crowd in an on-court interview.

After leading by a set and 4-1 in the second, Sharapova showed some fatigue and rust, dropping five games in a row. But in the third, Sharapova regained control by going ahead 3-0, using her power

on 13 carries and the latter rumbled his way to 54 yards on 10 carries.

“Tonight was clearly not the way we wanted to start

to keep two-time French Open runner-up Halep under pressure.

Sharapova had not played at a Grand Slam tournament since January 2016, when she tested positive for the newly banned heart drug meldonium during the Australian Open. It was as if every one of Sharapova’s winners — and she compiled 60, 45 more than Halep — was her way of declaring, “I’m back!”

When a Halep shot sailed long to end the match after more than 2½ hours, Sharapova dropped to her knees on court, then covered her face as her eyes welled with tears.

“I just thought that was another day, another opportunity, another match,” Sharapova said. “But this was so much more. I tried not to think about it.”

The 30-year-old Russian was allowed back on the tour this April, but she was denied a wild-card invitation for the French Open the next month. The U.S. Tennis Association did grant a wild card to Sharapova, who was once ranked No. 1 but is currently 146th.

great hitters, great defensive players,” Nodaway Valley coach Allison Bjork said. “... We played really well together. We played a lot better than what I had seen in then past was team chemistry.”

The Tuesday prior, the Wolverines had tested themselves to the max against much larger programs at an invitational at Dallas Center-Grimes.

“It’s great to see going

into (class) 5A and 4A tournaments” Bjork said. “Its great to see the level of play that we would strive to play at. It sets the tone for the rest of the season.”

The Wolverines took a set against Fort Dodge in a 2-1 loss, with those scores being 21-19, 11-21, 12-15.

Marnin’s five kills and Baudler’s four led the Wolverines in that match, as Shike assisted 10 times.

Montgomery pitches Cubs past Pirates 6-1

By JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer

CHICAGO (AP) — Mike Montgomery pitched six-hit ball into the eighth inning and helped himself at the plate, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 6-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night.

Montgomery (5-6) struck out four and walked none in his second start since he was inserted into the rotation after Jon Lester was placed on the 10day disabled list. The l e f t hander w a s pulled after J o r d y Montgomery M e r cer snapped his 17 1/3-inning scoreless streak with a leadoff homer in the eighth.

Carl Edwards Jr. got three outs before Wade Davis finished the six-hitter as Chicago moved 2 1/2 games ahead of idle Milwaukee for the top spot in the NL Central.

Trevor Williams (5-7) hung in there with Montgomery, pitching five innings of two-run ball, but Pittsburgh lost for the 11th time in its last 16 games.

Mercer went 3 for 3, David Freese had two hits and Andrew McCutchen singled for the Pirates.

Chicago was clinging to a 1-0 lead when Montgomery beat out an infield chopper over Williams’ head for a leadoff single in the fifth. He advanced to third on Tommy La Stella’s one-out single and scored when Anthony Rizzo’s bases-loaded drive pushed McCutchen all the way back to the wall in center for a leaping catch.

The Cubs added three more in the seventh on Alex Avila’s bases-loaded infield single and errors on second baseman Sean Rodriguez and catcher Chris Stewart. Rodriguez threw wide of first while trying to retire Avila, and Stewart threw the ball into center field to bring home anoth-

er run.

Montgomery also got some help from shortstop Javier Baez, who made a pair of nice defensive plays. First, he robbed Jose Osuna of a hit with a terrific diving stop and strong throw in the third. Then he made a diving catch in the fifth and got up to tag Mercer for an unassisted double play.

TRAINER’S ROOM Pirates: INF Adam Frazier was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring.

Frazier left Sunday’s 5-2 win at Cincinnati after he grounded into a double play in the third inning.

OF Jordan Luplow and RHP Dovydas Neverauskas were promoted from Triple-A Indianapolis, and RHP Johnny Barbato was sent down to Pittsburgh’s top farm club.

Cubs: Lester threw 47 pitches to Willson Contreras and Kyle Schwarber during a simulated game.

Lester, who is on the DL with left lat tightness and general shoulder fatigue, could need a minor league rehab start. “I think a lot of it will depend on how he feels tomorrow, how he feels like he came through today,” general manager Jed Hoyer said. “I thought he looked good. It looked like the ball was coming out well.” ... Contreras (right hamstring strain) also took early batting practice. ... SS Addison Russell (right foot strain) and RHP Justin Grimm (finger infection) each made their first rehab appearance with Triple-A Iowa. Russell went 1 for 3 with a double, and Grimm allowed a run while pitching one inning.

UP NEXT Pirates right-hander Chad Kuhl and Cubs righthander Jake Arrieta pitch in the second game of the series on Tuesday night.

Kuhl (6-9, 4.52 ERA) is 3-2 with a 3.33 ERA in five August starts. Arrieta (13-8, 3.49 ERA) has been on a roll since the All-Star break, going 5-1 with a 1.78 ERA in eight outings.

Kevin Hart calls on fellow stars to help with Harvey relief HOUSTON (AP) — Kevin Hart has made a sizable donation to flood relief efforts in Houston, and he wants some of his famous friends to do the same.

The comedian announced a $25,000 donation to the American Red Cross for victims of Hurricane Harvey. In an Instagram video posted Sunday, Hart said he was starting a celebrity challenge to donate money to the cause. Beyonce, Jay Z, Justin Timberlake, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jerry Seinfeld are among the stars he called on to make their own pledge.

“This is a serious matter,” Hart said in the video.

“I think the people are in bad shape and they need help. I’m going to lead the charge and step it up in this way.”

Also Sunday, country star Chris Young announced on Twitterthat he has started an online fundraiser for the Red Cross and donated $100,000 to it. The campaign had taken in an additional $50,000 by midday Monday.

Drake wrote on Instagram early Monday that he and his manager were working with local relief groups to help Texas affected by the hurricane. The Canadian rapper wrote that Houston “has truly been a home to me over the last 8 years.”

While only a few stars announced donations to flood relief efforts, many have used their massive

social media followings to encourage people to give what they can.

Katy Perry, who boasts Twitter’s largest following at more than 103 million, urged viewers to donate while she hosted MTV’s Video Music Awards on Sunday night, and she tweeted a link to the Red Cross’ donation efforts.

ble. So very Diana: Prince William, the heir to the British throne, sprinting down the track at London’s Olympic Park with his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, and his brother, Prince Harry, in a relay race this year promoting mental health.

There was a time when such a scene would not have happened.

Princess Diana, a preschool teacher thrust into the glare of celebrity by her marriage to Prince Charles, dragged Britain’s ribbon-cutting royals into the modern world. She made a direct connection with the public —once running her own race in a flowing white skirt and baggy sweater — and promoted causes far from the mainstream at the time, like land mine removal and AIDS research.

That link lives on through her sons, who have adopted their mother’s more personal approach to monarchy and in the process reinvigorated the institution.

“She was the first royal who really took the public’s heart,” said Sandi McDonald, 55, standing outside an exhibit of the late princess’ dresses at Kensington Palace. “I think her sons are the same — the public just loves them.”

William and Harry are the most obvious reminders of Diana’s impact. They have spoken openly about their own mental health issues over losing their mother while so young and broken down taboos just as their mother did by embracing AIDS patients to ease fears about the disease. But the princess’ most far-reaching legacy is her popularization of

ery field have adopted that model — created when newspapers and the evening news were the primary sources of information — and pumped it full of steroids in the world of Facebook and Instagram.

“You can sort of trace the molecular chain or genetic chain between Diana and Kim Kardashian,” said sociologist Ellis Cashmore, the author of “Elizabeth Taylor: A Private Life for Public Consumption.”

“Imagine if Twitter or Facebook had been around in (Diana’s) day!”

While every wannabe celebrity today posts their secrets on social media, in the 1990s it was unimaginable that a royal would share personal hopes and fears with

chose to take her message to the people who loved her.

She covertly cooperated with biographer Andrew Morton to get her story out, using an intermediary who recorded tapes of her answers to the author’s questions so she could deny ever having spoken with Morton.

“This was a quite remarkable thing that she was doing,” Morton told The Associated Press. “Here she was, talking about the most intimate details of her life — about this woman called Camilla, about her eating disorders, about her half-hearted suicide attempts — to me, who was a relative stranger. ... She was talking about things which no princess had ever spoken about before.”

Having been swallowed up by the royal machine when she was barely 20, Diana found her way in life after realizing that the public was fascinated by her every thought.

She was able to Diana manipulate that interest to promote causes such as land mine clearance and to tell her side of the story when her marriage collapsed amid Prince Charles’ relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, who later became his sec-
