On a hot early-September afternoon, Southwestern Community College sophomore Brenna Baker runs up a hill at Lakeview Country Club in Winterset.

As she begins making her ascent, she shouts out encouragement.

“Just look at my back.

Don’t look at the hill; look at me.”

Baker looks back and sees that Creston freshman Isaac Ralston is still following in her footsteps, running up the hill.

The two work together as

a team – Ralston is a member of the Creston cross country team and Baker acts as his runner’s aide.

As the two continue working their way over the 5K course, Baker continues to offer encouragement.

“Remember, the faster you run, the faster you’re done.”

Once they cross the finish line, Baker gives Ralston a high-five and they slowly make their way back to Creston’s camp, where Ralston is greeted by his teammates asking how he ran.

“With cross country, we’ve always said there’s a spot for everybody,” Creston Head Cross Country Coach Pat Schlapia said.

“Isaac has been welcomed.

He’s a part of the team. He’s a part of our cross country family.”

Runner’s aide Ralston first began running cross country in middle school as a seventh-grader.

Schlapia met with Ralston’s family, the Cres-

ton Middle School coaching staff and special education teachers. Together, they came up with a plan to have a runner’s aide to run with Ralston.

Zack Peppmeier, who had recently graduated from Creston High School and was a member of Creston’s state-qualifying boys cross country team in 2013, served as runner’s aide during Ralston’s seventh-grade year.

But Peppmeier transferred from SWCC to Iowa State after his freshman year. In stepped Baker, who had never run cross country before.

“I was very nervous going into it because of the big responsibility,” Baker said. “I hadn’t really worked with anybody with special needs. It was obviously a big responsibility to take on. Talking to Zack and the coaches helped me make my decision. I’m really happy because of the amount of

satisfaction I feel from his results.”

As a runner’s aide, Baker runs alongside, or sometimes in front of, Ralston during all practices and meets. She offers encouragement and helps keep Ralston focused.

Baker said part of her responsibility as runner’s aide is to push Ralston to his limit and help him improve – whether that be running faster or walking less.

“Brenna, she helps me focus on running. She helps keep me going and she is nice,” Ralston said. “She is one of my best friends.”

Attorney for victim’s family blasts Iowa board over delays DES MOINES (AP) — An attorney for the family of a woman mistakenly killed by an Iowa police officer lashed out Thursday at the Iowa Public Information Board for what he called “unconscionable” delays and errors in her case.

Adam Klein, an attorney for Autumn Steele’s family, accused board members of mishandling complaints alleging that police have illegally withheld public records in her January 2015 shooting.

Klein said they were hurting a grieving family.

Unbowed by the criticism, the board voted to delay the case further and rehear the merits of it — which it had already decided 10 months ago.

That takes the case back to the beginning of the process, 20 months after the 34-yearold mother was shot and killed by a Burlington officer who was intending to fire at her attacking dog.

Authorities have released a brief body camera clip of the shooting and a summary BOARD | 2A

AP, other media sue FBI for details on iPhone hacking tool WASHINGTON (AP) — The Associated Press and two other news organizations sued the FBI on Friday to learn who the government paid and how much it spent to hack into an iPhone in its investigation into last year’s San Bernardino, California, massacre.

The lawsuit seeks records about the FBI’s contract with an unidentified vendor who provided a tool to unlock the phone belonging to Syed Rizwan Farook, who with his wife killed 14 people at a holiday gathering of county workers in December

2015.

Gannett Co., which owns USA Today, and Vice Media LLC joined the complaint with the AP, seeking to learn more about the mysterious transaction that cut short a legal dispute in which the government sought to force Apple Inc. to unlock the phone.

“Understanding the amount that the FBI deemed appropriate to spend on the tool, as well as the identity and reputation of the vendor it did business with, is essential for the FBI | 2A

Prosecutor explains sentence for Iowa child sexual assault OTTUMWA (AP) — A prosecutor in the case of an Iowa teen who was given a suspended 10-year prison sentence for molesting a 1-yearold girl said Thursday that the teen was duped into the act by child pornographers posing online as a teenage girl.

The suspended sentence for Kraigen Grooms, 19, issued Monday has stirred outrage on social media and led to an online petition calling for an Iowa judge’s removal.

But Wapellow County Attorney Gary Oldenburger said Grooms’ sentence was part of a plea agreement based on a bevy of factors, including that the victim’s parents refused to participate in prosecuting Grooms.

“My original intent was to send him to prison for a long time,” Oldenburger said.

“The girl’s parents didn’t want Grooms to go to prison; they wanted him to go to rehab.”

Court records show that Grooms — who was 16 when the crime occurred — received a 10-year suspended sentence and five years of supervised release. He was given credit for nearly 2½ years spent in a juvenile detention center and, later, adult county jail while he awaited trial. He must register as a sex offender and faces prison time if he reoffends.

Oldenburger said the toddler was not raped or physically harmed; the prosecutor told the Des Moines Register

that Grooms was masturbating in the video. He also said Grooms did not know the abuse was being recorded by pornographers.

The pornographers tried to persuade Grooms to commit additional abuse, Oldenburger said, but Grooms didn’t. A psychologist found Grooms was unlikely to commit sexual abuse in the future.

Grooms’ actions came to light after federal authorities tracked down the pornographers — one in New Orleans and the other in Ireland, Oldenburger said.

“The abuse was committed at the behest of two men who had, over a long period of time, perfected the technique for duping children into committing sexual acts that they would not have otherwise engaged in,” Oldenburger said.

“They were so skillful and so persuasive in their efforts that they successfully convinced hundreds of children to engage in sexual activity while they surreptitiously recorded it.”

While District Judge Randy DeGeest presided over Monday’s sentencing, another judge, Myron Gookin, accepted the plea agreement in July.

Either had discretion to reject the plea deal and sentence him to prison, Oldenburger said.

A court spokesman told The Associated Press on Thursday that neither of the judges could comment on the case.

Replacement of Des Moines’ busiest downtown bridge to begin Monday DES MOINES (AP) — Downtown Des Moines’ busiest bridge is scheduled to close Monday, forcing thousands of commuters to find other ways across the Des Moines River.

The Grand Avenue bridge, which handles 7,600 vehicles daily, is being replaced, according to The Des Moines Register. The replacement bridge is expected to open at the end of next year.

Demolition of the existing bridge will take about two months. The new bridge will reduce the number of piers on the Des Moines River from four to three.

The new structure will have three traffic lanes — two westbound and one eastbound — plus a westbound bicycle lane and curb parking on the south side.

The bridge’s arches will be replaced with painted metal panels that create an arch-like facade, due to cost restraints.

The original design estimates showed that installing a bridge with authentic arch supports to match the arch them in the downtown area would have

cost more than $30 million.

The $10.5 million Grand Avenue replacement bridge will be the first of six bridge projects to get underway. Two more bridges are being replaced and three will be refurbished downtown, disrupting downtown traffic into 2023.

Des Moines City Engineer Pam Cooksey said all of the bridges are similar in age and condition.

“Unfortunately, they were all kind of built bam, bam, bam,” Cooksey said.

The city will pay for most of the cost for the Grand Avenue bridge with capital improvement funds. About $2.1 million will be covered by federal money distributed annually by the Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization.

The city recently acquired $8 million in federal funding for four of the other downtown bridge projects. The money comes from the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery program under the U.S. Department of Transportation.

River body confirmed as that of missing Iowa college student ELK POINT, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota authorities have confirmed that a body recovered from the Missouri River was that of a missing Iowa college student.

The Union County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that the medical examiner’s office in Sioux Falls says the body was that of 23-year-old Tom Patterson. He disappeared in the water around 5 p.m. Sept. 4

near a beach about four miles southwest of Elk Point. Authorities have said witnesses reported that Patterson was trying to help some companions swim from the Nebraska shoreline back to South Dakota when he was swept away by the current.

Patterson was from Frostburg, Maryland, and was a student at Briar Cliff University in Sioux City.

Creating a friendship All the time spent together on the cross country course has forged a friendship between Ralston and Baker.

After finishing the race at Winterset, Baker jokingly offered to let Ralston join her at her SWCC Dazzlers dance practice later that night. Ralston was quick to say yes, asking his mother, Kathy, if he could go.

“He has a very funny personality,” Baker said. “He enjoys clowns and comedy.

It’s fun getting to work with someone who has a sense of Baker humor and enjoys being around other people. It’s taught me a lot about myself.”

Their budding friendship has allowed Baker to push Ralston even harder during practices and meets.

“She’s very valuable to us. It’s like having another assistant with us,” Schlapia said. “You can tell they’ve bonded real well. He really listens well to her. There might be days Isaac doesn’t feel like running and Brenna is able to make that connection to get him going.”

“We’re definitely good friends. I don’t think he really sees me as a teacher or a para. I feel like he sees me as someone who runs with him and I enjoy that,” Bak-

Creston freshman Ashton Wills squirts freshman teammate Isaac Ralston with water after their race Sept. 6 at Lakeview Country Club in Winterset.

Baker said she was nervous about being Ralston’s runner’s aide at first, in part, because she had never run cross country before.

She talked with Peppmeier and asked what to do if she couldn’t keep up with Ralston or if she didn’t know the course.

But it’s been a smooth process for Baker so far.

“I wish I would have done (cross country) in high school, just because I’d like to see how I personally would have been able to compete,” she said. “It definitely helps having someone to run with.”

“I was kidding her this year, all these years I was hoping we could get her out for cross country and finally her second year of SWCC, we finally got her out for cross country,” Schlapia said.

And now, in her second year of running cross country with Ralston, Baker is learning more about herself, Ralston and the sport.

“Last year I didn’t really get emotional myself. I was always really proud of him for finishing. This year, I was really shocked to feel myself on the verge of crying because he has improved so much since last year,” Baker said. “Seeing him improve has made me feel like I have made a difference in him as a runner.”

Baker, Ralston and the rest of the Creston cross country team make their only home appearance of

three-year-old board, which was created to enforce the open meetings and records laws.

After a lengthy review, the board concluded that records had been illegally withheld and voted 4-3 in December 2015 to bring enforcement actions against the Division of Criminal Investigation, Burlington Police Department and Des Moines County Attorney’s office. The board’s staff had twice recommended dismissing the complaints.

If successful, the enforcement actions could result in the release of transcripts of 911 calls, body camera videos taken by officers and

emails, and potential fines against the agencies.

Earlier this month, an administrative law judge dismissed complaints against DCI and Burlington police on procedural grounds, saying the board erroneously failed to file a written order finding probable cause for the violations. That ruling came after the board-appointed prosecutor sat on the case for months without action before recusing himself due to a conflict, Klein said.

At Thursday’s meeting, the board considered whether to refile the complaints with the appropriate order and send them

back to the administrative law judge. But instead, new board members said they wanted time to reconsider the merits of the complaints and whether they should have been pursued in the first place. That process is expected to begin in coming weeks and will rehash legal arguments that played out for months last year.

That decision drew the ire of Klein, who challenged board members to explain to Steele’s mother, husband and children why they have to endure further delay.

“You cannot put this family through this any longer.

It is unconscionable,” he said.

ate software that would bypass security features on the phone so that the FBI could get into the device and scour it for potential evidence.

Apple contested the order, saying the FBI’s demand set a dangerous precedent and could undercut security protections for its customers.

The two sides were headed for a court showdown when Justice Department officials revealed that a party outside the U.S. government brought it a potential solution to un-

lock the phone. The FBI said a week later it successfully unlocked the phone using the tool. The suit cites media reports as saying investigators did not find any links to foreign extremist groups.

The FBI would not say how much the solution cost or reveal how it worked. It also refused to share the information with Apple, which had expressed concern that circumventing its security protections could compromise its products.

The suit by the media organizations argues that there was no legal basis to withhold the information and challenges the adequacy of the FBI’s search for relevant records. It also said the public has a right to know whether the vendor has adequate security measures, is a proper recipient of government funds and will act only in the public interest.

It was the third suit the AP has filed against the Obama administration under the Freedom of Information Act.

of the incident, but have rejected requests for additional records. They say the records are shielded because they are part of a peace officer’s investigative report, which can be kept secret under the Iowa open records law. The officer wasn’t charged.

Klein and the editor of The Hawk Eye newspaper in Burlington filed complaints seeking the release of more information. The case has been watched closely because it’s among the first pursued by the

public to provide effective oversight of government functions and help guard against potential improprieties,” said the suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act. In rejecting earlier requests to divulge the information, the government said revealing the records could affect “enforcement proceedings,” but did not elaborate.

The case stems from the FBI’s announcement in March that it had purchased a tool to unlock the iPhone, aborting the court fight with Apple that had in turn triggered a debate about the proper balance between electronic privacy and national security.

The FBI for weeks had maintained that only Apple could help it unlock the phone. At the Justice Department’s request, a magistrate judge in February directed Apple to cre-

Invest some time and money in getting film put on DVD. Send duplicate DVDs to multiple family members so that if disaster strikes, there will be extra copies. -Sherry G., Cecil, Ala. I’d say that if you’re going to go through all that trouble, then you also should consider digitizing your important documents, like certificates and licenses. -- Heloise COLOR-ABSORBING SHEETS Dear Heloise: When we travel, I bring a few “color-absorbing” sheets. That way, when we need to stop to do some laundry, it can all be thrown in together in just one load -- no color sorting needed! -- Ellie K., Fort Worth, Texas Ellie, thanks for sharing your travel hint. With long vacations, mounds of laundry can be daunting for some, so getting a jump on laundry before arriving back home can relieve some

Hints from Heloise of that. Research shows that these color-absorbing sheets are supposed to catch any “loose colors” floating around in the wash cycle, protecting your other clothes from changing colors. -- Heloise HOME CAKE RECIPES Dear Heloise: My recipe for Cuban rum cake uses an 18.5-ounce cake mix as one ingredient. However, the cake mixes now are only 15.25 ounces. Do I add flour, decrease liquid or what?

Club news Afton Federated Garden Club

Members of Afton Federated Garden Club met 1:30 p.m. Aug. 12 at Afton Community Center. President Shirley Wallace called the meeting to order with members repeating the Pledge of Allegiance and Club Collect. Roll call was answered by 12 members.

There were no minutes read as the secretary wasn’t present. Treasurer’s report was given by Bev Rowe. Income included a “thank you” monetary gift from the Winterset Garden Club for the Afton club’s help with the annual district meeting. Wallace will send them a “thank you” card in acknowledgement.

Donna Thomas made the motion to accept the treasurer’s report and Audrey McDowell seconded it.

Thomas sent birthday cards to Vicky Reese, Monica Huddleson and Rowe.

Iris gave a report of the members that exhibited at the Union County Fair floriculture show and what ribbons they were awarded. There were 99 entries with 25 being from our club and four youth entries.

The date for the fall luncheon was changed to Oct. 14 at Lorimor Community Center. Wallace is still trying to get in contact with the Apron Lady. All members and guests will wear aprons and have a fashion

show with prizes for the best and the ugliest.

Wallace awarded Judy Weese with the Circle of Roses award. The “flower of the month” for September is the zinnia. Wallace will email everyone when the club can go to Jane Nichols home to dig up plants she is giving away.

September is the annual picnic lunch in the Afton City Park, weather permitting. If not, lunch will be at Afton Community Center with the regular meeting afterwards. Everyone is to bring a salad and place setting.

The meeting was adjourned with everyone repeating the Conservation Pledge.

Weese gave a presentation on repurposed junk into garden art. Weese gave examples of things she had around home, and using spray paint in colors that she liked, created a focal point in her garden, with an old feeder that she painted and put on the fence. Weese handed out ideas that she found on Pinterest. She has a love of frogs and found an example using tires that she is working on. Weese encouraged everyone to come up with an idea and share it with our group at the upcoming meeting.

The next meeting will be 11 a.m. Sept. 9. We will meet at Afton City Park for the annual picnic, then have the regular meeting

at the Afton Community Center at 1:30 p.m. Gwen Sandeman and Marilyn Larimore will be hostesses.

CORNING — The East Union girls cross country team was tested by a number of individuals and teams they don’t always see during Thursday’s Southwest Valley Cross Country Invitational at Happy Hollow Country Club.

The Eagles responded well to the challenge in placing second as a team. Shenandoah-Essex, ranked 12th in Class 2A won with 25 points.

The Eagles had 89 points.

The meet was a confidence builder for the Eagle girls.

“We come down here. We know there’s quality teams,” said East Union coach Rich Bryson. “Now we know we’re in the mix, we’re in the conversation as a team.”

A number of individuals ran well within the team aspect.

“The girls, we’re running

“Individually we’re doing well, but as a team, we’re supporting each other. They know they can do well as a team.”

Jena Proffitt paced the Eagles with a seventh-place finish in 22 minutes, 48 seconds.

Emma Harper was 19th in 25:18, with Allison Hadley in 22nd and Molly McNeil in 23rd and Kate Sutton was 28th.

The competition, which featured such schools as Shenandoah-Essex, Southwest Iowa, Clarinda and East Mills, tested the Eagles.

“It was nice to see some different competition to gauge yourself,” Bryson said.

“There’s quality runners out there. If you’re placing in the top five, 10 consistently with each meet. There’s quality talent and you’re still up there.”

Proffitt continued her strong season.

“Jena Proffitt’s running

“She’s been on a mission.

She’s been running great all year.”

Harper has also ran well.

“Emma’s running well,” Bryson said. “She’s not up to her standard. She knows she can run better. She’s working through that. She’s still running great.”

Bryson has seen plenty of good things from the rest of the lineup.

“We have girls running well,” Bryson said.

Diagonal’s Maddie Lohmann was the top area finisher in the girls race, taking third.

Orient-Macksburg netters still taking baby steps

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

ORIENT — The coaching staff of the Orient-Macksburg volleyball team had a goal laid out. Win against the Iowa Christian Academy Blazers, — a team that like the Bulldogs, didn’t have a win yet — and the girls could vote on the name of absent coach Katie Geidel’s newborn baby girl.

Geidel’s mother, Teresa Thompson, assistant coach and principal at Orient-Macksburg, gave in and still let the girls have a vote.

“We voted on the baby name even without a win,” Thompson said. “I told them I wasn’t going to let them see a picture or take a vote unless we won but I caved on that.”

Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, the play of the Blazers’ outside hitter Kayla Schut kept Thursday from being an entirely happy one for the Bulldogs as the Blazers won in three sets, 25-10, 25-16 and 25-11.

“Some nights they seem to have a little better idea of where they’re headed and other nights we seem like we take one step forward and two steps back,” Thompson said.

The Bulldogs struggled early with communication and stepping in front of teammates to take digs. They also had issues mounting an offensive attack and frequently reverted to quickly punching the ball over without any sets.

After battling early on, the Bulldogs fell behind 16-9 and after an O-M point, the Blazers proceeded to go on a 9-0 run to end the set.

Schut provided no mercy, as she repeatedly pounded home kills for the Blazers to end the set.

“This is not a mystery, they’re going to set her and she’s going to hit it hard,” Thompson said.

There was good though. Kyla Bailey and Haylee Gardner played well for much of the match while Kaela Eslinger played all over the place

Bulldog freshmen Caitlyn Buckman (13) stands at Sammons’ side. In the background is Bulldog sophomore Kyla Bailey (8). The Blazers picked up their first win of the season over the winless Bulldogs Thursday.

per usual. Thompson cited Brooklyn Sammons as a good presence on the court for the Bulldogs as well.

“They are not real flashy,” Thompson said, referring to Bailey and Gardner. “They’re not flying all over 100 miles per hour all over, but just know their spots and try to make that happen… They can be pretty consistent.”

The Bulldogs battled back and forth and forced the Blazers into errors for much of the second set. A

combination of some better serving, more impressive net play and a better approach to producing an attack allowed Bulldogs to maintain proximity to the Blazers until the score was 15-12. The Bulldogs had just gained three consecutive points of off Eslinger’s serve.

Then, the Blazers put together another 9-0 run to effectively put the match away.

Iowa Christian Academy jumped out to a 19-6 lead an controlled the

entirety of the third and final set for its first win of the year.

No stats were available from the match.

UP NEXT — Orient-Macksburg (0-6, 0-5) will travel Moulton-Udell on Monday (0-4, 0-4) The girls voted for “Teya” by the way.

No official name for the newborn girl is known yet.

Iowa history day coming to Villisca Sept. 17 designated The Forgotten Iowa History Society (FIHS) is bringing experts to Villisca Saturday, Sept. 24, for a daylong event that focuses on events in Iowa’s history. â–

VILLISCA – Are you interested in tales of the underground railroad in Iowa, the French Icarians of Corning or perhaps the unsolved Villisca ax murders?

The Forgotten Iowa History Society (FIHS) is bringing experts on these subjects, as well as many others, to Villisca Saturday, Sept. 24, for a daylong event that focuses on events in Iowa’s interesting, and sometimes quirky, history.

The FIHS is a 21,000-plus member Facebook group that celebrates all things Iowa, as long as those things are historical. There will be exhibits by local museums, book signings by Iowa authors, root beer floats at the Villisca Library, free lunch provided by Villisca Historical Society and tours of Villisca’s historical landmarks, including the Villisca ax murder house. Tours

and lunch require pre-registration. There is a nominal charge of $10 by the vendor ($5 for seniors) for the ax murder house tour.

Otherwise, the event is free and open to the public.

Nine speakers, including local history researcher and author Elaine Artlip of Villisca, Montgomery County Museum Director Dave McFarland and Dr. Ed Epperly, an author and expert on the Villisca ax murders, are among the confirmed speakers.

Donations received that day are targeted to the continued preservation of the Sciola Church, the oldest rural church in Montgomery County, which was moved last year to the grounds of the County Museum in Red Oak. The event will be held at the Villisca Community building on Third Avenue and it is to begin with registration and free breakfast at 8 a.m. and continue to 3:30 p.m. when tours of the Armory and Villisca cemetery will begin.

Everyone with an interest in Iowa, especially southwestern Iowa, history is encouraged to attend this event. To register, call Ray Wetherell, founder of FIHS, at 712-363-3661, or email the group at IAhis-

toryday@yahoo.com. For further information, call Wetherell or Linda Artlip Weinstein.
