RIO DE JANEIRO — Competing in track and field at the Olympic Games proves one has reached the pinnacle of the sport.

To reach that pinnacle, it takes countless hours of dedicated training on the track and in the weight room.

That is true for former Southwestern Community College track and field athlete Theo Piniau and Spartan sophomore Sisilia Seavula, who both made the Olympic teams for their respective home countries.

Piniau, who now runs at West Texas A&M in Canyon, Texas, where he will be a senior, made the Papua New Guinea Olympic team, while Seavula made Fiji’s Olympic team.

Unlike United States athletes, neither Piniau nor Seavula had to compete in Olympic Trial qualifying meets to earn spots on their Olympic teams. Instead, Piniau qualified based on a points system, while Seavu-

The McKinley Lake bridge replacement project is underway.

Starting Monday, West Adams Street will be closed from Cottonwood Road to McKinley Street as work begins on the bridge, located north of McKinley Lake. The intersections of West Adams Street with Lake Shore Drive and with Spillway Road will also be closed.

Creston Public Works Director Kevin Kruse said the intersection of West Adams Street and Cottonwood Road will remain open as much as possible, but there will be periods of time in which that intersection will be closed, as well.

“I know Adams Street is a heavily traveled road, but it’s going to be closed there for several months. People will have to be patient,” Kruse said. “(The completion date) depends on how soon winter gets here. If it stays warm enough t h r o u g h Kruse the fall, ... it could possibly open up again yet this year. But, we’re really

anticipating next spring.”

More than 80 percent of the estimated $1.5 million project will be paid for through state funding. The rest of the costs will be absorbed by the city of Creston.

“We’re going to replace the bridge over at McKinley Lake and then along with that, we’ll put new concrete paving from Cottonwood Street over past the intersection of Lake Shore Drive,” Kruse said.

“We’re also going to be adding an 8-foot-wide walking trail along the south side of Adams Street.”

The bridge must be replaced for safety purposes.

“The last few inspections we had were saying it was getting to be a dilapidated bridge,” Kruse said. “We had to put weight restrictions on it the last few years. We were able to get state funding to do it because it was so old and dilapidated.”

But, the project will also improve the look of the bridge and surrounding areas, as well as provide another trail for citizens to walk on.

“The bridge will be beautiful,” said John Kawa, chairman of the Creston Park and Recreation board. “It’ll be paved all the way to Cottonwood, and the turn into the park will be all new pavement.

It’ll be cool. It’ll make the park look better; there’s no doubt about that.”

Iris married Ivan J. Brown, who died serving his country in World War II. From this union was born daughter Cathy. In 1946, Iris married

CONT. FROM | 1A

Iowa committee to discuss lifting Iowa State Fair weapons ban DES MOINES (AP) — Citizens are set to voice their opinions to state lawmakers on whether a weapons ban at the Iowa State Fair should be lifted.

A special review is scheduled for Friday to discuss the matter, The Des Moines Register reports. The Iowa Code prevents people from bringing weapons of any kind onto the fairgrounds without permission from the fair’s board of directors.

State Rep. Dawn Pettengill, the chairman of the Administrative Rules Review Committee, said the issue was brought up after a citizen requested that the committee consider it. Pettengill said the committee’s goal was to make sure the fair is acting in accordance with Iowa law.

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, August 5, 2016

Committee members will also hear from the State Fair Board.

Mindy Williamson, director of marketing for the fair, declined to say whether the organization would advocate for or against lifting the ban.

“The fair is coming up, and safety is a big priority — one of our top priorities,” Williamson said. “So we’re happy to sit down with them and look over the rules.”

The committee is limited in the action that it can take. It cannot require the State Fair Board to lift the ban, or impose its own restrictions on the agency.

The special review will have no effect on this year’s fair, which is scheduled to be held from Aug. 11 through Aug. 21.

she always had the athletic ability. She had raw talent and raw tools,” Southwestern Head Track and Field Coach Nick Ekel said.

“What I saw dev e l o p was confidence.

She went from a college freshman Ekel to being a seasoned competitor by the end of the season.”

Now, just three months after the end of the season, Seavula will be competing at the Olympics.

Seavula said she looks forward to running a personal record (PR) in the 100-meter dash and hopes to break the 12-second barrier. Her goal is to run 11.8 seconds.

“I will never put limits on what Sisi can do. She has a goal in mind. I know she’s put in the work to do it. It’s all about execution now,” Ekel said. “I think for her, if she can get out of the first

round into the next heat, that’s going to be an incredible accomplishment.”

Seavula runs the 100-meter dash preliminaries at 9:55 p.m. Friday, Aug. 12. Track and field will be broadcast on NBC that night in the 7-11 p.m. time slot.

“We’re very proud of her,” Ekel said. “Coach (Mark) Evans and coach (Mikayla) Vail did a fantastic job of instructing her, and we couldn’t be more proud.”

World competitor Piniau will make his Olympic debut, but he’s no stranger to world competitions.

The former Spartan competed at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, during his time with Southwestern. He’s also competed in the Papua New Guinea national championships, as well as the Pacific Games and World Relays.

Still, the Olympic Games represent another level for Piniau.

“For track athletes and swimmers, this is the height of competition,” said former Southwestern Community College Head Track and Field Coach Bill Huntington, who coached Piniau.

“There’s not a big professional opportunity. Really, for track and field athletes, this is the pinnacle of the sport.

This is going to Huntington be really exciting for Theo.”

Piniau is slated to run the 200-meter dash for Papua New Guinea at 9:50 a.m.

Tuesday, Aug. 16. Huntington said he may also run the 400-meter dash, which is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. Friday, Aug. 12.

Piniau ran 20.96 seconds for the 200-meter dash in his last meet. He also owns a PR of 47.6 in the 400-meter dash from his time at Southwestern.

“It wouldn’t surprise me if he went 20.8,” Huntington said. “I’d love to see him run a 400. He’s a bigmeet competitor. I think he’s got a very good chance to maybe run a low-47 at the Olympics.”

Huntington said he believes Piniau will be ready for his Olympic moment when the time comes.

“I’m super excited for him,” he said. “It’s a big

moment, and I just hope he enjoys it and really hope he runs well. We’re really proud of everything he’s done.”

For Ekel, having an Olympic athlete return to the team this year will be a big boost for the entire program.

“Personally for her, I think competing at the highest level our sport has to offer will make her a more seasoned competitor at the junior college national level,” Ekel said. “Also, now on our team we have someone who has reached the pinnacle of our sport. That’s something to emulate.

When you’re in the weight room, ‘What’s the Olympian doing? What’s Sisi doing?’ That’s something our students can look to and see how we get the job done.”

Iowa Department of Natural Resources says it’s not too hot to fish Summer is all about relaxing with family and friends. Add fishing to your list of summer activities. Plan a day trip or bring along fishing gear on your next weekend getaway or camping trip.

“Fish are still biting, even in the middle of a sticky Iowa summer,” said Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Fisheries Bureau.

Like anglers, fish adjust to the heat, too.

“The key is being in the right place, even when the thermometer says it’s too hot to fish,” Larscheid said.

The best fishing is early in the morning or later in the evening and after dark. Avoid the brightest, hottest part of the day. Fish might cruise the shoreline early in the morning but will seek cover in deeper water as the sun starts beating down on the water.

“Some of our best fishing is after dark,” Larscheid said.

Look for fish in weed beds or structure, near shade during the day. They often are suspended in deeper water, just above the thermocline – a midsummer phenomenon many lakes develop creating two distinct layers. Below the

thermocline, often 8 to 12 feet deep, oxygen is nearly nonexistent. Many fish suspend just above the thermocline, where temperatures and light conditions are tolerable, and where oxygen levels are sufficient.

“When the water heats up, we really see the white bass and wipers come on,” Larscheid said. “Hot weather is also a

good time to catch big channel catfish and largemouth bass.”

White bass are active in the summer in the flood control reservoirs in Coralville, Red Rock, Rathbun and Saylorville. Calm days are the best to fish for white bass because the seagulls can see the shad easier and will be feeding on them.

Become familiar with stranger danger Dear Readers: Need a lesson or activity to help you explain to your children about STRANGER DANGER? Teaching your children about this topic can be difficult sometimes. Help is here! There is a free website full of great material for parents, teachers and children: coloring pages that reinforce the topic, and materials and activities to teach internet safety. Parents, you can print a poster and place it in your child’s bedroom or maybe the kitchen to reinforce a few simple rules about staying safe. This website has plenty to pick from.

Just visit www.free-forkids.com. Click on the “Safety and Health” link on the left side of the home page.

You may find material that your children can do during the summer. – Heloise TRAVELING REMINDERS Dear Readers: Just a reminder that if you’re planning to take a long trip, remember to turn off or stop deliveries like the mail and newspaper.

If you have a trusted neighbor or friend, ask that person to pick them up daily. A few days of piled-up newspapers or mail in your mailbox (which you should be SURE someone retrieves daily) is a sign that says no

Visit my website, www.Heloise.com, or send $5 and a stamped (68 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope to: Heloise/Recipes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Get your husband to help you. Together you could “spice” up some of those recipes, creating your own dishes. Have fun in the kitchen! – Heloise ANOTHER SHELFLINER SOLUTION Dear Heloise: I read where Nancy in Nebraska has a strategy for lining shelves. I, too, like to line my shelves, but I’ve found that self-sticking vinyl floor tiles work for me. They’re easy to measure BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker and lightweight, and can be cut. They’re also easy to wipe clean. Just another hint I thought to share. – Patricia M., via email They are sturdy and perfect for lower shelves, where pots and pans, cleaning supplies and the like are kept.

Do keep in mind that removal might be a problem should you want to change things.

Anything will be appreciated – especially by my husband!

Horoscope For Saturday, Aug. 6, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Tread carefully today, because this is a discouraging day at work (or when doing some work). Someone is going to get in your way -- count on it.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)Children might be a financial burden today. Or perhaps a social occasion seems to drain your funds? Whatever the case, it does take the shine off things.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Don’t be discouraged if partners and close friends are critical. Try not to take it personally. It’s just one of those days.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)It’s easy to be discouraged, because someone is critical of you today. Or maybe whatever you suggest is just ignored?

Yeah, this is challenging.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Money worries are likely today. It just seems that there is not enough money to cover all the bases. Don’t worry, because this is a temporary situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) The best way to use today’s energy (which might feel negative) is to do heavy mental work. Tackle some tasks that you have been avoiding.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Serious, steady research will go well today, because you will persevere and find what you’re looking for. It’s not a glamorous day; it’s a day for hard work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Don’t let someone discourage you today by making you see the dark side of things.

Too many people are looking around seeing flaws and making disparaging comments.

Who needs this?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a poor day to ask for permission or approval from bosses and parents.

Postpone these kinds of requests for another day. Just lie low.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Travel plans and matters related to publishing, the media, medicine and the law are onerous and discouraging today. People are too quick to tell you why things cannot be done.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) The resources or help from others that you are counting on might be slim pickings today.

What you had hoped for simply

isn’t there. Just bide your time.

Relax.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Discussions with partners and close friends are difficult today, which is why you feel lonely or cut off from others.

Don’t worry; you’re not the only person feeling this way today. Many are.

YOU BORN TODAY You are rewarded by helping others because you are genuinely benevolent. You love to learn anything new, and are very

innovative. Great news! You are now heading into one of the most powerful years of your life -- a time of accumulation. Whatever you have done in the past will now ripen, because it’s your time of fruition. (This is a good year to buy and sell.)

My family’s personal connection to the Rio Olympics It’s that time in the quadrennial, the time the world gathers together for two weeks to celebrate sport.

There are so many breathtakingly beautiful things about the Olympics.

There is the will of the human spirit to push through and do tasks one thought was not possible, to overcome all obstacles in front of them, to persevere when the task isn’t going well, to pick themselves up when the result isn’t what they’ve wanted.

My extended family has seen what it takes to be among the world’s best the past eight years.

We’ve watched our Olympian make sacrifices for his wife, two young sons, wrestle through a tremendous amount of physical pain and deal with a load of emotional hurt after a gut-wrenching couple of losses several years ago.

In the meanwhile, we’ve watched him grow in his faith, become a better man, husband and father.

Sure, we all have teams, individuals we’ll be watching during the Olympics, but for my extended family, it’s a little more personal.

We have a connection in the form of 125KG freestyle wrestler Tervel Dlagnev.

Tervel met my cousin Kirsten (Kronberg), my dad’s brother’s youngest daughter, when they were

Kronberg’s korner Ryan Kronberg sport editor

both college students at the University of Nebraska-Kearney.

How Tervel even reached that point of being in central Nebraska is a story in and of itself. Tervel’s parents fled social and political unrest in Bulgaria in 1989. His family bounced around but finally settled in the Dallas, Texas, suburb of Arlington.

Tervel wasn’t exactly the most dedicated student and showed no interest in sports. But at Arlington High School, his gym teacher saw this young man. He talked him into wrestling. Tervel tried it, stuck with it. He quickly took to the sport, placing fourth as a junior and third as a senior in the Texas High School state tournament.

Of course, that level of success doesn’t typically get you noticed by programs like Iowa, Iowa State or Penn State.

Instead, his high school coach encouraged him to check out Nebraska-Kearney. That’s where Tervel’s high school coach went to college.

He went there, joined the team.

Tervel quickly found success at the Division II level. He won the

By then, he’d met my cousin.

They married after Tervel had graduated, in 2010 in a beautiful ceremony out in Kearney.

After college, he tried his hand at international wrestling. He moved to Columbus, Ohio, training out of the regional train-

He quickly became the dominant force at 125 Kilogram (275 pounds) for the United States. He made the World Team in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015. He placed third at the World Championships in 2009 and 2014 and fifth in 2011 and 2013.

He made the U.S. Olympic team in 2012. He was on track for gold, but lost a gut-wrenching match in the semifinals. He lost an even more painful match for bronze to place fifth.

He admitted one time when we chatted that was a painful couple of losses.

But he’s refocused, renewed his dedication to the sport.

At the same time, he has become a father to two boys, Isaiah, 3, and Titus, 2. It has been fun to see him interact as a father to the boys from the pictures Kirsten has posted on Facebook, an interview I saw them do with a Columbus, Ohio, TV KRONS | 6A

station after the Olympic Trials.

He was on track to go to another World Championships last summer, but a back injury sidelined him for several months.

Heading to the Olympic Trials earlier this spring in Iowa City, he was the favorite to make it out of Carver-Hawkeye Arena as the United State’s representative to Rio at 125 KG. He did just that, winning the challenger tournament to reach the finals, then topping Zach Rey 3-1 and 5-3 in a best-of-three finals.

But his Road to Rio almost ended before it began.

He said after the tournament his back flared to the point where he almost walked away.

The pain was severe enough it almost derailed an Olympic dream.

“The last two weeks have been really, really tough,” he said after the trials. “It still hurts. But it was God’s strength and my weakness and I’m going to Rio.” He admitted to wanting to save his body long term to be a husband to Kirsten, a father that could play with, be a daddy to the boys.

“My perspectives on life have changed,” he admitted.

Now he’ll be in the Opening Ceremonies tonight in Rio, with eyes of the world on him and all of the athletes competing.

He has one more international competition, coming up on Aug. 20.

He thanked his wife and others who helped him reach the dream of becoming a two-time Olympian.

“It means a lot to know that people’s sacrifices weren’t in vain,” he said. “I know they were strong. All that they did meant a lot.

I know I wouldn’t have let them down, but it’s also nice to win so that the fruits of

Playing dates are Setp.

11, 18, 25 and Oct. 2. The league is open to those in grades 9-12. Eighth-graders will be considered with a coach’s recommendation.

The league will consist of six teams with 12-15 players per team.

The goal is to provide players with opportunities to conitnue to play baseball during the fall.

The league will be directed by Southwestern coach Pedro Hernandez with assistance from SWCC baseball players. Games will be coached, umpired and supervised by SWCC players.

Camp fee is $90 per player and $60 for each additional sibling. The camp fee is non-refundable in the event of weatehr cancellations.

For more information or to sign up contact SWCC baseball coach Pedro Hernandez at 641-782-1377 or email at hernandez@swcciowa.edu. my labor have something to show for them.”

His life after this Olympiad is set. He’ll become an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State starting this fall.

Now he’s on to Rio and his final Olympic games.

He’ll have a tough bracket in front of him including a number of men he has wrestled against before.

At the end of what’s likely his final international competition, there’s still that dream of an Olympic medal staring at him.

“You always want to walk away with a cool story,” he told the crowd of reporters gathered in Iowa City. But there’s still that dream of an Olympic medal staring him down. “I love this sport.

I want to be the best and I want to win.”

Sure, these Olympics have been shrouded in scandal after scandal, filled with plenty of controversy over a whole host of issues. I’m certainly not diminishing those. This Olympics has the potential for all sorts of trouble.

Here’s to hoping it’s a wonderful two weeks of competition in Rio, that all involved stay safe. That the athletes may perform their best, up to their full potential.

May we all cheer our athletes on, knowing they have the full support of a country back home, no matter what the sport may be.

And to my good man Tervel, Godspeed on your wrestling. May you showcase the amazing talent you have to rest of the world. Know there are many back home cheering you on, along with my family and others who will be there in Rio, wishing to see you bring home the gold.

We know you’ll do great.

Regardless of the outcome, we know your faith in Christ will shine and you’ll be a witness on and off the mat.

You’ll do spectacular no matter what.

Go Tervel and Go Team USA!

The Hunger Dialogue Toolkit is available for free by emailing The Outreach Program at hungerfree@outreachprogram.org or calling the office at 641-486-2550.

The Outreach Program was started by Hammer and Kathy Hamilton of Union. A nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, Outreach has helped to package more than 350 million meals that have been distrib-

uted across the United States and around the world.

Outreach Meal Packaging Events are set up across the United States to engage businesses, religious and civic organizations, schools and volunteers of all ages to package nutritious meals for the hungry.

Hammer and Hamilton were invited to the White House by President Obama and President H.W. George Bush and presented with 5,000th Points of Light Award. As a recipient of Charity Navigator’s Four Star Rating and GuideStar’s Silver Exchange Seal for transparency, Outreach is committed to improving the lives of disadvantaged individuals.
