Gibson Memorial Library is partnering with the Union County Genealogical Society to host Creston’s first ever cemetery walk Saturday, Sept. 23, at Graceland Cemetery in Creston.

The cemetery walk is a joint fundraiser for both the library’s capital campaign and the Union County Ge-

nealogical Society.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at Gibson Memorial Library or from any library capital campaign committee member or Union County Genealogical Society board member. The cemetery walk begins at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 23 and the program will likely conclude by 6:45 p.m., with refreshments afterward in the Graceland Cemetery

chapel.

The cemetery walk is also sponsored by Lenox Monuments, Pearson Family Funeral Service and Cremation Center, Powers Funeral Home and Fredrickson Memorials.

“We have a lot of interest in genealogy and Graceland Cemetery, in particular,” said David Hargrove, executive director of Gibson Memorial Library. “I was

doing some of my own research out there. It occurred to me it would be really neat if there was a cemetery walk course that called attention to some of the more notable gravesites.”

Hargrove said he initially saw the cemetery walk as a fitness walk, but after attending an Iowa Library Association conference WALK | 2A

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa farmland values have increased this year, reversing several years of declines, but industry experts say the change likely isn’t a signal that the agricultural economy is improving.

Steve Bruere is president of Peoples Co., a farm management and brokerage firm.

He tells The Des Moines Register that a lack of farms on the market has driven up the value.

tute’s Iowa chapter says farmland values climbed nearly 3 percent to almost $6,700 an acre for the year ending in September.

Farm prices dropped in 2011 after a drought increased corn and soybean prices.

Iowa agricultural income has dropped nearly 70 percent since 2013, bringing in $2.6 billion last year.

Bruere says if a downturn in the farm economy continues, farm sales may increase and values would be reduced.

earlier this year, he learned about cemetery walks done in other Iowa communities.

The discussion generated from that conference led to Hargrove organizing a cemetery walk held in the fall.

Participants will visit the gravesites of several notable Creston pioneers, with local actors performing historical interpretations of those pioneers.

“I look at this as a way to involve the library in the history of the community,” Hargrove said. “Some of my

favorite kind of programming involves local history and area history.

My hope is this kind of programming and Hargrove these kind of events can raise community awareness about the library.”

Hargrove worked together with Jane Briley of the Union County Genealogical Society to select what stories to tell.

“We were able to identify several folks who may not

Judge says ‘shadow insurance’ documents can remain secret DES MOINES (AP) — An Iowa judge has ruled that the details of “shadow insurance” subsidiaries created by several life insurers can remain confidential.

Indiana University professor emeritus Joseph Belth sought the documents last year under Iowa’s open records law, saying he believes they would expose risky financial practices that could bankrupt some insurers.

Judge Lawrence McLellan sided Thursday with the industry and state regulators, saying the documents

are part of the companies’ “plans of operations” and exempt from disclosure.

Companies such as TransAmerica have taken advantage of an Iowa law to transfer billions of dollars in liabilities to subsidiaries. Insurers say the arrangements free them from accounting rules mandating that they hold excess cash reserves.

Belth is seeking copies of the financial guarantees the companies made to their subsidiaries, saying policyholders and shareholders should know whether they’re sound.

be well known today, but who were very important in the Creston area,” Hargrove said. “I wanted to make sure that we had women in addition to men. A lot of times, when people talk about the pioneering generation, they tend to dwell on the men in the community. In Creston, we had quite a number of women in prominent roles.”

Among those whose stories will be told are Alice Gummere, the first female postal carrier in Iowa, Creston’s first librarian, Creston’s first Eagle Scout and J.B. Harsh, who founded the Bluegrass League and was the first state senator from

Hargrove hopes the cemetery walk becomes an annual event, with more notable Creston residents being added to the list of historical interpretations in coming years.

According to Hargrove, the only stipulation he received from the city for holding the cemetery walk was that the walking portion of the cemetery walk be concluded before dark. He also received permission to hold the event from the cemetery board.

In the event of rain, a rain date has been scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 30.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: I know we live in a tech-savvy world, but MOBILE PHONES can easily get lost or stolen.

I went to an engraver and had a small plaque engraved with “Reward $50. Call ...” and my phone number at my office. I then glued it to my phone case. I could always replace the phone, but not the pictures, contacts and other info on my phone. – Rita H. in San Francisco Rita, I like that idea. A reward is a nice way to say, “Thank you.” – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com HOLD THE WATER Dear Heloise: Please let your readers know that if they are going to clean their computer screens, to use a damp – NOT wet – microfiber cloth that won’t scratch the surface. Do not spray a liquid onto the screen, but rather onto the cloth. In between a damp wipe, clean dust off the screen with a chalkboard eraser. Use compressed air on the keyboard.

– Brian K., Niagara Falls, N.Y. A WORD FROM THE WISE Dear Heloise: With my 79th birthday coming soon, I think about things I wish I had done. For those still young, here is a suggestion: Keep a diary. It will be an interesting read for your children and grandchildren.

While you still have time, spend much of it with your loved ones. I wish I could go back in time and tell certain people how much they meant to me. – Doug J., Watson, La. THE KEY TO GETTING INSIDE Dear Heloise: I painted the discs around the key slots in my door locks with fingernail polish. Makes them much easier to see, whether day or night. – J.M.C., via email J.M.C., now that’s a good idea! – Heloise GOING BATTY OVER BATTERIES Dear Heloise: The pluses and minuses for batteries on a device can be hard to see.

When putting batteries into devices (flashlights, remote controls, etc.), put the flat end of the battery against the spring. – Mary H., Ar-

SUDOKU

lington, Va. ROUTINES FOR CHILDREN Dear Heloise: I have four children, one of whom has Down syndrome. If I’ve learned anything over the years, it’s that all children, and especially children with special needs, should have routine in their lives. We established a system of getting our kids up in the morning by having a clock radio play upbeat music. A schedule is posted on the bathroom wall and on our refrigerator to help them remember what to do and when to do it. Since they’re all rather young, this helps them get organized, get dressed and get ready to catch the school bus on time. – Mavis D., Orange, Calif.

WHAT TO GIVE Dear Heloise: We have been invited to a birthday party for a 3-year-old, and on the invitation was printed “No gifts, house too little, too many toys. Please, gift cards or monies.” What do you say? – Alice, via e-mail Alice, I think a gift card to a children’s clothing store or somewhere else would be OK. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Ladies Literary Circle

Creston Ladies Literary Circle met Sept. 8 at the O’Riley Center with Susan Weight hostessing and 17 members present.

President Judith Wachter opened the meeting with roll call. The minutes were read and approved for the May 5 spring luncheon.

Treasurer Vera Fengler collected yearly dues, and calendar changes were made.

The meeting was adjourned and turned over to Marcia Fulton, who briefly introduced reviewer Dyan Huffman. Huffman gave a short history of author John Ernst Steinbeck.

Steinbeck was born Feb. 27, 1902, in Salinas, California. He grew up with three sisters and had a happy childhood. He was shy and smart, and formed an early appreciation for the land. He decided to become a writer at age 14, often locking himself in his bedroom to write poems and stories.

In 1919, Steinbeck enrolled at Stanford University and was there six years, but dropped out without a degree.

He moved to New York City and worked in construction and journalism. That failed to create a writing career, and he moved back to California.

He took a job as a caretaker at Lake Tahoe and met his first wife, Carol Henning.

They married in 1930. They moved into a cottage owned

by Steinbeck’s father, and he had free housing and paper for manuscripts, allowing him to write without working.

After 13 years, the couple divorced and 11 days later, he married Gwendolyn Conger.

They had two sons and were divorced after five years.

In 1939, Steinbeck wrote “The Grapes of Wrath,” and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962.

In 1950, Steinbeck married

Rizzo, Heyward lead Cubs to sweep CHICAGO (AP) — A visit from the New York Mets has helped the Chicago Cubs wake up their slumbering offense.

Anthony Rizzo homered and had three hits, Jason Heyward went deep and drove in four and the Cubs beat the Mets 14-6 on Thursday night.

This outburst helped Chicago overcome a shaky debut by pitcher Jen-Ho Tseng to complete a three-game sweep. The Cubs outscored the Mets 39-14 this week after being outscored 20-3 in a three-game sweep by the Milwaukee Brewers.

The 39 runs are the most ever allowed by the Mets in a three-game series.

Kris Bryant added two RBIs as the Cubs extended their NL Central lead to three games over Milwaukee and St. Louis, with the Cardinals coming to Wrigley Field for three games this weekend.

“Even mentally, it makes a big difference,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “We did what we needed to do.”

Tseng thought his trip to Chicago this week was just to collect his second straight minor league pitcher of the year award from the organization. On Wednesday, Maddon told him he’d get the start.

The Taiwanese 22-year-old said he was nervous before the game, and a sloppy beginning made it worse.

Tseng threw behind leadoff hitter Jose Reyes, fell down while covering first base on the second batter for an error and later hit Dominic Smith with a pitch in the first inning.

“I threw a cutter behind the (first) batter,” Tseng said through a translator. “After that, I became more nervous.”

Tseng settled somewhat and went three innings, giving up five runs and five hits with six strikeouts. He was 13-4 with a 2.54 ERA in 24 starts for Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa.

“I like the kid a lot.

You know about the never let them see you sweat moments, and we did,” Maddon said.

“There’s something in there. Awkward first night for him but looking forward, I like him.”

Mike Montgomery (68) and Brian Duensing followed Tseng with two scoreless innings each.

Seth Lugo (6-5) was charged with eight runs, seven earned, with nine hits and a walk over three innings.

“We’ve pitched pretty good lately, we just did not pitch very well here,” Mets manager Terry Collins said.

“Came back obviously against a team that is fighting hard, coming off getting swept. We certainly got them ready for the Cardinals.”

Murray sweeps Diagonal in Jerry Brown Gym Thursday

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnnews.com

MURRAY — As Diagonal tries to find its footing with a new-look lineup, Murray has found early season success with a fresh lineup of its own.

The Mustangs, who won just nine matches a season ago, have started 4-0, and stayed undefeated Thursday with a 3-0 home win over Diagonal.

Murray won 25-18, 25-13 and 25-17.

After shooting out to an 18-3 lead in set one, Murray looked in firm control over the young Maroonettes.

MacKennah Skroh smashed three straight aces as part of a 9-0 run to push Murray firmly ahead. Zoie Lecy and Kelli Romero then coupled together to establish control around the net, as the Lady Mustangs jumped way ahead.

Diagonal secured 13 points on the next 18 played points after falling to that early deficit, but ultimately fell in set one.

“It is encouraging that they can get themselves out of it and come back and play and win points and it was clean play, it wasn’t just junk,” Diagonal coach Alli-

son Hajek said.

“We looked up at the scoreboard and were like ‘oh we got this’ and started coasting,” Murray coach Jerry Shields said. “You cannot do that against scrappy teams and they’re a scrappy team. They got

hands on balls that most teams probably don’t.”

Murray fell behind 6-5 in set two, before Murray sprinted to an 8-0 run and a 13-6 lead.

Forced to rally from a 2-1 deficit to win on the road, the Panthers picked up the pace and variety of their attack, according to co-coach Mallory Peterson. She said it was a sluggish start by the Panthers.

“We expected to maybe have a little bit of a slow start coming off a two-hour bus ride,” Peterson said.

“But when we got there it was 85 degrees in the gym and really not comfortable

for anyone. We just were not getting things going and let them go on a nine-point run at one point in the first game. It wasn’t just serve receive, either. Jut not getting things going, showing quick movement and reacting off the block.”

Senior Breanna Wallace was hampered in her net game with an Achilles injury, and Peterson and cocoach Naomi Sharp called on freshman Kelsey Fields to work into the front row rotation.

“Jumping really aggravates Bre’s injury and she was definitely not 100 percent,” Peterson said. “We had trouble closing that second set and Kelsey came in and helped us get some momentum at the end of that game and the third game.”

The Monarchs were able to put together some long runs again in the third set to take a 2-1 lead, but from that point on the momentum took a turn.

“We were communicating better,” Peterson said.

“It’s the best I’ve seen us communicate as a team. Es-

pecially on balls out of system, the girls were adjusting off that second pass out of the back row and being in position to attack. We had lacked that this year.”

Coming off that 25-16 win, the Panthers stayed in control of the deciding set after it was battled on even terms through eight points.

“Coach Sharp and I talked about the next point mentality so we wouldn’t get stuck in a rotation and let them get a run going,” Peterson said. “You can’t allow that in a fifth set. We would drop a point and the next one was ours. They did a nice job of keeping their composure. We definitely needed this.”

Red Oak boys, Shenandoah girls win SW Valley crowns Bedford’s Lucas runs second in girls race

n

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

CORNING — Red Oak edged Shenandoah for the boys title and the Fillies dominated the girls competition at the Southwest Valley Invitational held Thursday at Happy Hollow Country Club.

Red Oak had 51 points for a three-point cushion over the Mustangs. Liam Eubank led Red Oak with a fourth-place finish in 19:09.

Southwest Iowa’s Adam Thompson was the individual boys winner in 18:18 for a 35-second margin over teammate Noah Jorgenson.

Trent Newton led the

host Timberwolves in 28th place in 22:30.

Shenandoah girls topped the sixteam field with 28 points.

Lohmann Bedford’s E m m a Lucas was second behind winner Janette Schraft of East Mills.

L u c a s Pearson ran the course in 21:43. Maddie Lohmann of Diagonal was seventh in 23:25.

Cassidy Nelson led Lenox in 15th place in 25:25.

Maslyn Hummel, Halle

Pearson and Aubrey Boswell all finished in the top 21 for Southwest Valley, led

by Hummel in 18th at 25:50.

Southwest Valley coach Josh Sussman was pleased with his team’s performance under tough conditions.

“The kids were competing in a grueling test of wills,” Sussman said. “The elements of high temperatures and intense humidity slowed the runners today.

Although we are not where we want to be in regards to times, I think it is important to recognize the youth of our team. More than half of the boys and girls are only sophomores. As the season progresses, I truly believe we will see impressive, drastic improvements.”

and the Mustangs picked up deep digs from the likes of Twila Barber and others to grab control again.

Barber, a talented freshman, has not missed many beats in taking over the main setter role after the three-year reign of Mustang

great Brandi Gilbert in the role.

Shields doesn’t expect just Barber to control the setter role.

Instead, Barber, Bre Klein and Becca Decker have all been asked to set in different rotations.

“Not one of those kids is going to be able to do for us what Brandi (Gilbert) did in the past three or four years,” Shields said. They’re doing a very good job stepping up and being able to do that for us.”

Lecy, Skroh and Romero put set two away.

Lecy’s athleticism stood far and away above what was presented on the court Thursday.

“She’s by far our best hitter. We probably need to do a better job of getting her the ball sometimes,” Shields said. “She likes it up high, she likes it by the net and she can sky. That kid has legs on her. She can really jump.”

Diagonal jumped ahead 3-0 in set three, with Cassie Lohmann and Bailey Taylor swinging hard around the net.

Again, Murray responded and took a 12-4 lead, which included consecutive MURRAY | 7A

PANORAMA — Going up against several strong programs did not phase the Class 1A top-ranked Nodaway Valley boys cross country team, as the Wolverines won Thursday’s meet in Panorama with 43 team points. They sat much better than second-place Madrid, 43 points to 90.

Brycen Wallace led the Wolverines once again with his second-place finish in a time of 17:20, losing only to winner Sean McDermott of Madrid (17:09).

Skyler Rawlings took fifth, Josh Baudler was seventh, Tyler Breheny was 15th and Ben Breheny took 16th as the Wolverines worked as a pack toward the front.

Mount Ayr’s top finisher

on the boys’ side was Isaac Timmerman in 29th, as Chase Smith was not too far behind in 34th. The Raiders finished 10th among the 19 complete teams.

Treyg Webb was Orient-Macksburg’s top finisher, coming in at 140th in a time of 23:16.03.

VB: CONT. FROM | 6A

Junior Varsity Creston’s junior varsity swept Denison-Schleswig, 25-20, 25-15.

Fields provided six kills and Emma Hanson finished with five kills. Rylie Driskell and Saige Rice split setting duties, ending with eight and six assists, respectively. Karly Calvin was consistent at the service line at 11 of 12 with one ace. Driskell went 1010 with one ace.

“Tonight was a great offensive night for the JV team,” Peterson said.

“They are settling into a rotation and getting used to playing their roles. Rylie and Saige do a really nice job playing opposite each other. They are able to communicate the out-ofsystem balls and still find a hitter.”

finished with eight and Megan Haley chipped in five. Haley and Samantha Dunphy each had a pair of blocks.

Libero MaKenna Hudson collected 29 digs and had a strong night at the service line at 2424 with t h r e e aces.

Creston is in a pool with Treynor, Hudson Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln and Red Oak in the Red Oak Invitational Saturday.

tured the freshman match 26-24, 22-25, 15-7.

“We lost a hard-fought first set, but the kids kept their heads up and fought back to get set two,” Creston coach Mike McCabe said.

“In set three we struggled in serve receive and fell behind early. In those games to 15 you can’t do that.”

McCabe cited the setting job shared by Molly Sickels and Heylee Shields. Maddie Frey and Ryli Abildtrup had a good night at the service line and Chloe Marlin headed the back-row passing.

MURRAY: CONT. FROM | 6A

Barber aces.

A service run from Lecy extended Murray’s lead to 19-6, and effectively put the match away, even taking into account Katie Sobotka’s six-point service run for the Maroonettes late in the set before the Lady Mustangs won by eight points.

Emily Newton’s net play extended the match longer than Murray liked.

“Emily has consistently improved on her hitting this year and Bailey Taylor has stepped up on the front row with her blocks and hits for us,” Diagonal assistant coach Mallory Grandfield said.

The Maronettes have started 2-2 after losing one of its largest senior classes in program history.

Katie Sobotka, Cassie Lohmann and Emily Newton return as Diagonal’s most experienced athletes, and each showed something on the court Thursday.

“I fully expect that Cassie, Katie and Emily are all role models needed to display that aggressiveness for the other girls to learn from,” coach Allison Hajek said.

CUBS: CONT. FROM | 6A

The Mets took a 5-3 lead in the third inning on back-toback home runs by Smith and Travis d’Arnaud.

Consecutive RBI doubles by Jon Jay, Bryant and Rizzo highlighted a five-run fourth inning as the Cubs rallied with nine straight runs.

One night after knocking in six off the bench, Albert Almora Jr. had a two-run, pinch-hit double in the sixth. Heyward added a three-run home run later in the inning to make it 14-5.

Tomas Nido had his first career hit and RBI for the Mets in the ninth.

CCHS art students, artist to paint storage unit The Creston Community High School (CCHS) art department, headed by Bailey Fry-Schnormeier, has initiated a positive non-discrimination campaign.

As one step of this campaign, Fry-Schnormeier has commissioned conflict resolution artist, Jordan J. Weber, to design an original piece for Creston Community School District students. This will be done on a rented storage unit from BJ Storage, who has generously agreed to the painting of the unit.

The opposite side of the

unit will feature CCHS art students painting which reads, “Stand on the Side of Love.” A third side will feature newly released “We Are One Creston” Panther slogan. The final side of the unit displays the actual call to action, a pledge which all CCHS students and faculty will be invited to sign.

The pledge strongly and gently calls us to resist hate in all of its forms regardless of how difficult it may be. Anonymous friends of CCHS art students have generously donated funds for the commissioned piece.

Weber is an artist and activist. He was born in 1984 in Des Moines and received his education from Kirkwood College in Cedar Rapids and The American University of Rome in Rome, Italy. He was recently the recipient of an Artist’s Fellowship from the Iowa Arts Council and a grant from the African-American Leadership Forum. Weber has exhibited in many solo and group exhibitions in Rome, Tokyo and Torino and in major cities in the Untied States including Chicago,

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 & SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17

Minneapolis, Brooklyn and Omaha. He has completed public mural projects in Paris and Amsterdam, and here in Creston in our uptown area.

CCHS students and faculty will have the opportunity to sign the pledge Friday afternoon, Sept. 15, at the end of the school day.

Weber will be present to meet and discuss his original piece. The public will be invited to add their signatures to the pledge at an upcoming date, during CCHS homecoming week.

Treynor woman wins Hopeville cribbage tourney 3/$ HOPEVILLE – Holly Klein traveled a long way east to come to the Hopeville Rural Music Reunion Sept. 10. However, it was worth it. Klein had the high score over five games over notable cribbage players to win the seventh annual Jim Overholtzer Memorial Cribbage Tournament during the free annual music festival.

Klein now lives in Treynor. She grew up in Clarke County south of Woodburn and attended school in Osceola through grade five. She scored a total of 596 points out of a possible 605. Sue Carson of Diagonal came in second place with 595 points.

Fifteen players competed for the trophy and cash award. In addition to local cribbage players, others came from Des Moines and Ames.

This was the 39th annual Hopeville Rural Music Reunion. The Clarke County Conservation Board and the local people in the Hopeville Auxiliary sponsor it.

The tiny town-square park in the unincorporated town had music styles that varied from rock music, country music, western swing and

bluegrass. Music started at 11 a.m. and continued all afternoon with musical groups performing in 20-minute in-
