The 39th-annual Southwest Hot Air Balloon Days had a near-perfect weekend, with only Sunday morning’s competitive flight succumbing to weather.

The weather cooperated with perfect conditions for Friday evening’s fun flight, as well as the Saturday morning and evening competitive flights and night glow.

Even Sunday morning, conditions at the surface were perfect. But, after going into a weather hold, the flight was cancelled because of winds reaching 40 mph at flying levels.

pleased,” said Roger Lanning, Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days committee chairperson. “I want to

thank all the balloonists for putting on a great show this weekend. Everything from Friday night to (Saturday)

morning and that night glow was unbelievable.”

It proved to be a competitive weekend for the balloonists. Bret Wiltse of Johnston won the competition with a score of 2,328, despite taking a penalty for taking off from a red zone.

Wiltse was sponsored by Elite Staffing.

Shane Arends of Grand Island, Nebraska, and Aaron Gebhart of Milford tied for second place, with Arends winning on a tiebreaker. Arends was sponsored by the Fastenow family and Gebhart was sponsored by United Farmers Cooperative.

TRIO Educational Talent Search improves with $150K budget increase A new mentor program, free tutoring and deferred fees are the main changes that will affect the eight school districts the Creston ETS program serves.

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA associate editor khaugen@crestonnews.com

A budget increase of about $150,000 per year for the TRIO Educational Talent Search (ETS) program based in Creston will have ripple effects on the school districts it serves.

Using the increased fund-

ing, which was awarded at the start of the 2016-17 school year, ETS is launching a program in which ETS graduates who are now in college will be hired during the summer to mentor current ETS students. New SWCC hire Bobbie Patten will front this program in a recently established position: student success specialist.

Other improvements include the program now having the ability to pay for tutoring for ETS students on academic probation, as well as a new agreement with the main Iowa universities and Southwestern Community College to defer college enrollment and housing fees for ETS students.

“The really, really good news is we were able to write for an increase this year and got it, so our budget is going

from $230,000 to $379,000 per year,” said Erica Frey, director of ETS, during a SWCC board meeting Tuesday. “We are thrilled about that. We’re going to be able to do some really neat things to help our students get to college.”

TRIO TRIO programs were created in 1965 under the Higher Education Act to ensure equal educational opportunities for all Americans regardless of race, ethnic background or economic circumstances.

The goal of TRIO programs is to break the cycle of poverty by encouraging first-generation and low-income students to enroll in and graduate from college.

scholarship to TRIO students who are low income, go to college in the state of Iowa and have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher.

“The reason we call it TRIO is because, originally, there were three programs,” said Erica Frey, director of ETS. “Now, it’s grown to seven.”

ETS is one of those seven programs, and in Creston, it is located on SWCC campus.

ETS at SWCC ETS is funded through the U.S. Department of Education. There are 471 ETS programs nationwide and nine in Iowa.

While ETS serves students in sixth through 12th grades, other TRIO programs focus on students in undergraduate and graduate programs.

Reagan Brown, formerly of Afton, was in the TRIO Educational Talent Search (ETS) program in Creston beginning in middle school until she graduated high school. Now a freshman at the University of Northern Iowa, Brown will return to Creston this summer, as she was hired as a student mentor for a new ETS mentor program being launched this year following a $150,000-peryear budget increase.

“We start with them in sixth grade and follow them all the way until they graduate ... and convince them college is an option,” Frey said.

“A lot of these students and parents are just not familiar with the college process and not sure they can even afford to go.

So, we just Frey have to start early and get them convinced, so that by the time they’re in high school, they’re taking the right classes, taking the ACT (and) going on campus visits.”

ETS at SWCC serves 800 middle and high-school students with an additional 150 students on a waiting list. The program currently works with eight school districts – Bedford, Clarke, Creston, East Union, Lenox, Murray, Orient-Macksburg and Southwest Valley – and alternative schools.

“Students typically sit on that wait list about two years,” Frey said. “Even if they’re on the wait list, they are able to still come to their meetings; they just can’t go on campus visits or trips with us at that point.”

Two-thirds, or 536 of those 800 students, have to be low income and first in their family to go to college.

“Our outreach advisers, Kelly (Allee) and Valerie (White), go into the schools and meet with each grade one time a month,” Frey said. “They do things like financial aid, scholarship activities, study skills, college search and anything that has to do with college and being successful in school.”

Many costs are covered for ETS students. ETS pays for a student to take an ACT preparation course, take the ACT up to two times, apply for college and more.

“Students in our program have to have college potential,” Frey said. “We don’t want to get them off to college just to get them to college; we want to make sure they can make it once they get there.”

Though ETS is on SWCC campus, its staff cannot recruit ETS students to SWCC. “We’re just trying to find the right college for the students,” Frey said.

their students between graduating high school and fall enrollment of college after summer.

“We would have students who had completed their FAFSA, they had applied for college, but for some reason, we were losing them in that summer. It’s called ‘summer melt,’” Frey said.

Thanks to the budget increase, ETS staff members can now address this issue by hiring students who have gone through ETS and are now in college.

“They’re going to come back for the summer to mentor our graduating (high school) seniors,” Frey said.

The mentors will work with ETS students and help them through that summer melt, said Valerie White, ETS outreach adviser.

There will be a checklist of items mentors will cover with the ETS students, including financial-aid verification, application processes and ensuring graduating seniors “don’t get cold feet” about starting college, Frey said.

ETS will hire three to five mentors, two of whom have already been hand-picked: Taylor Braman, who attends Northwest Missouri State University and Reagan Brown, who attends University of Northern Iowa.

The staff is searching for additional students to be mentors and may possibly hold an application process for ETS graduates if they don’t soon secure more mentors for the upcoming summer.

Brown, 18, formerly of Afton, attended East Union Schools and grew up in a low-income family.

“We never had that much money, but my parents always made sure we got everything we needed,” Brown said.

place,” Lanning said. “It was very competitive. I don’t remember having these tie situations before.”

Chase Sanders of Ankeny, sponsored by Supertel Inn and Conference Center, was named the rookie of the year.

With the perfect weather conditions, spectators came out in large numbers to watch the hot air balloons.

Spectators gathered around the target near Bill Sears Sports Complex for Friday night’s fun flight and lined the target area at Creston Municipal Airport for the Saturday flights.

“There was a huge crowd for the evening flight and night glow,” Lanning said. “It creates some delays getting out of there, but that’s a good problem to have. That means people are getting out and

enjoying it. Even the balloonists commented on how many people were out at the airport.

That’s always good.”

Balloonmeister Jim Gebhart thanked the Creston committee for having him participate in the event as balloonmeister again.

“Those people and, of course, without all the pilots and crew, we could not have pulled all this off,” Jim Gebhart said. “Have a good year and hopefully we’ll see you back here in 2017.”

With the 2017 event being the 40th annual, Lanning said he’s trying to make it a special event.

“When you have those successful ones, you always look forward to next year,” he said. “We’re trying to figure out what we’re going to do to make that 40th one special.

Hopefully we can do that. Not sure what we’re going to do yet.”

tarial position for ETS. Now a UNI freshman with a major in marketing management, she will come back to Creston this summer to be a mentor.

“I’m going to tell students what to expect in college, what I wish I knew – the little stuff you don’t really know until you get there,” Brown said. “The students will come in throughout the summer, and ... we’ll make sure they have everything figured out before college.

I’m most excited about making sure kids don’t have to go through the same struggles I did.”

Brown’s future goals are to travel abroad in school and pursue entrepreneurship as a career.

Tutoring “Also new this year, we are going to be able to pay for our students who are on academic probation with our program to get tutoring, and we’re working with The Learning Center (of Southwest Iowa) here in town,” Frey said. “If our students are getting less than a 2.0 GPA with our program, then we will pay for them to get tutoring.”

At The Learning Center, tutoring would normally cost a student’s family around $35 an hour, Frey said. Now, tutoring costs will be absorbed by ETS. “Normally, ... if we put a student on academic probation, we give them a semester or two to bring their grades up. If they don’t, we exit them from the program,” Frey said.

“Now, this is getting us some sort of assistance – something to not just drop them off the face of the Earth (but offer) some way to help them hopefully get their grades up.”

“WE START with them in sixth grade and follow them all the way until they graduate ... and convince them college is an option.”

ERICA FREY

Director of ETS at SWCC

White added: “We will also do tutoring within the schools – either using peer tutors or the tutoring programs each individual school has. If the student meets the criteria of The White Learning Center, we’ll utilize those teachers.”

Deferred fees Another main addition to ETS this year is the ability to defer college enrollment and housing fees for ETS students who attend the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, UNI or SWCC. “If we have a low-income student, it can be up to $330 deferred so they don’t have to come up with that money right out of pocket,” Frey said. “We have students in our program who are getting a perfect 4.0, scoring a 28 on the ACT, but cannot come up with $40 to apply for college. So, that’s where our program can step in and get rid of those barriers.”

Stop the music!

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about the music that’s played in retail stores. This reader wrote: “Why do retail stores seem to believe that customers need to be entertained with music while shopping?

“I find it extremely distracting to try to concentrate on what I am shopping for when bombarded by loud and distasteful music. Shoppers are not there to listen to the Top 10 hits! If music is necessary at all, it should be heard only as background music.

“Am I the only person who feels this way? Maybe the influence of Heloise fans’ opinions will be influential.

Is the only solution to cut it? -- Lynann, via email Lynann, it sounds like that string is useless, but all’s not lost. Get another drawstring, preferably one that doesn’t fray or unravel.

Make sure the length is similar to the old length.

Then go ahead and cut the old string, but before you pull it through, attach the new string to one end of the old string. Use safety pins to do this. Then slowly and gently pull the old one through from the other end. The new one will replace the old one, and voila, you now have a new string in place of the old. Simply detach the old

He said: “I’ve been financially blessed well enough to occasionally, on purpose, leave paper money inside of a library book because I like to imagine the thrill of being the person who finds that money.

“It’s thrilling enough to find your own money in the pants pocket of a pair of forgotten pants, let alone finding money that is ‘finders keepers.’ I’ll confess I’ve also used cash as my ‘message in a bottle’ and sent it out into the ocean for some lucky person to find.” -- Da- BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker vid W., via email Thanks for your perspective on this subject, David.

Horoscope Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This can be a productive day at work for you, especially if you want to wrap up old business.

You might see new ways of doing things. You also might see new ways of using things you already have.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A discussion about how to educate children will yield positive results today. Certainly, people are opinionated about this and other creative matters.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A family discussion might get to the bottom of something today, which is a good thing.

It’s time for everyone to put his or her cards on the table.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your conversations with others will be intense today. People want to know the subtext of things. They want to know what is really happening.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You will be resourceful at using your money and possessions today to get the results you want. You might even see new ways to earn money.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today you are concerned with deep issues. You might want to redo something or even give yourself a makeover.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Because you want to know what is going on behind the scenes, this is a good day to research what you need to know. Dig deep and ask questions to find the answers you seek.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)You might attract someone powerful to you today who might influence you to change your goals. You want your beliefs to be meaningful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A discussion with a boss, parent or someone in a position of authority will be memorable today. Listen to what this person has to say, at least, out of respect.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Someone who is knowledgeable about philosophy, politics and religion will appeal to you today, because you want to learn something new. You especially want to understand the truth behind big ideas.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Discussions about inheri-

tances and shared property will go well today because nothing will be overlooked. It’s almost as if you have X-ray vision.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Relations with partners and close friends are intense, because people want to get down to the nitty-gritty of things. You don’t want to waste time on superficial chitchat. They want the straight goods.

YOU BORN TODAY You are energetic and enthusiastic about life. You are also kind

and helpful to others. You have high standards and appreciate beauty. It’s important to know that you will benefit by dealing with others this year. In other words, your success lies in interacting with other people. Make friends. Join clubs and organizations. Your social activities will be mutually beneficial.

The Farmer’s Prayer

Learn basic first aid and CPR techniques.

God made heaven, then made earth. He then gave us man who, on this land, will do our work.

Without the work of the farmer the world would not exist. Americans would not enjoy the food and the comforts never missed.

Let’s stand behind the farmers for the work they have done and pray for all their families who help make America number one.

We Salute Our Farm Industry!

We’re grateful to our nation’s farmers for the important role they play in supporting our economy and our prosperity. Farmers face a variety of challenges every day, and one of those challenges is maintaining a safe work environment.

What’s Appropriate - Farms and Kids Many accidents to children on the farm occur when a child is doing something that is beyond his or her mental, physical or emotional ability. Children are more likely to be injured or killed than adults. Each year, hundreds of these children die and thousands are injured on the farm where they live, work and play.

Children are vulnerable to many of the same hazards as adults who live or work on farms, but they are far less capable of understanding those hazards. Although parents cannot completely child-proof a farm, they need to make it as safe as possible.

Farm parents can take these precautions to prevent children from getting hurt on the farm: • Find out what the developmental characteristics of children are at specific ages.

• Identify the dangerous areas on your farm.

• Set up appropriate rules for children to follow.

• Supervise children according to their age.

No family should have to experience the loss of a beloved child’s health or life.

These area businesses are proud to show their support of

Panther netters grow at Saturday tournament

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — Creston’s volleyball team faced quality competition at Saturday’s Red Oak Tournament.

While the Panthers only were able to win one out of four matches, coach Polly Luther’s team displayed glimpses of how good they can be.

“When indeed we start firing on all cylinders, we will be a force to be reckoned with,” Luther said. “When we get that consistency, we will be good.”

T h e Panthers’ win came in two sets over Abraham Lincoln.

Luther c o u l d n ’ t Luther recall in her years of coaching ever beating Abraham Lincoln.

Creston’s win over Abraham Lincoln showed the Panthers what they could do.

“They were able to see that with the victory over Abraham Lincoln,” Luther said.

Creston pushed Red Oak,

falling in two sets. The Panthers fell in the second set 21-18.

“The second game against, them, we gave them a run for our money.”

The Panthers also fell to Tri-Center 2-0 and Treynor 2-0.

“We were able to see some of that against the other teams,” Luther said. “We ran with it.”

The Panthers started to see those moments throughout the day.

“We did some things really well,” Luther said. “I was really happy about that.”

“We talked about our

fluency, the way we flow together, the way we move in transition,” Luther said.

“When that wasn’t as rigid, there was some good things.

“The girls are finally starting to get it.”

Luther noted the play of Breanna Wallace, Taylor Buxton and Megan Haley.

“Breanna Wallace looked pretty good,” Luther said.

“She stepped up and did some good things. Taylor Buxton started putting some down. Megan Haley did too.”

The key now for the Panthers is to put that together all of the time.

“We re capable of doing that,” Luther said. “Part of it is maturing, maturing with the game, maturing with your teammates. It’s a package deal. Once we get get going, we’ll be OK.” Cayla Maitlen had 14 kills.

Wallace had 13, Haley 11 and Buxton seven. Jaxie Luther had 45 assists. Maitlen, Haley and Makenna Hudson each had 15 digs. Hannah Hood had four solo blocks.

Panthers turn over the crown, usurp the Monarchs

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

DENISON — It took the Creston/ Orient-Macksburg Panthers football team a few minutes of game play to get their wits about them after stepping off of the bus in Denison Friday.

Once they did, the game was never much of a contest.

The Panthers eased their way to a 42-7 victory in which the clock ran without stopping for most of the second half thanks to a 35-point lead.

“Offensively I thought we wore them down from the get-go,” Creston/O-M head coach Brian Morrison said.

Early success After an early Chase Shiltz interception and ensuing offensive drive put the Panthers inside of the 10 yard-line, Creston/O-M got stopped.

Evan Jacobson missed a short field goal attempt. After that, the Panthers put things together in a formula for success that lasted the rest of the evening. Jacobson was a big part of that first half success.

The junior cornerback tallied an interception on a tipped pass and recovered a fumble in both the first and second half as part of a defensive effort that included six turnovers that enabled the Panthers to work quickly and efficiently with the football time after time.

After forcing a punt on Denison-Schleswig’s second offensive possession and good field position following a Zach Carlson punt return and penalty, the Panthers took over on the Monarchs’ 32.

Shiltz took a handoff and galloped 32 yards for the first points of the night.

Things quickly got worse for the hometown Monarchs.

Off of a pass defended by Creston/O-M’s Michael Stults, Jacobson came down with a tipped interception.

A quick run and a 43-yard bomb down the Denison-Schleswig sideline from Kylan Smallwood to Gavin Woods had the Panthers in the end zone again and up 14-0.

to tally the other two Creston/O-M first half scores.

The senior wideout/back took two jet sweeps to the promised land, one from 21 yards to cap a 67-yard drive, and one from 40 yards, to cap a quick drive to put the Panthers up 28-0.

“He is instrumental in stretching the team’s secondary at receiver, once again stretching side to side,” Morrison said. “He has enough speed that where you have to account for him. You can’t load the box and say ‘Chase is going to get CRESTON | 10A CNA photo by KALEB CARTER

Tigers pounce early on Mustangs, roll to 36-6 win

By LARRY PETERSON cess with a different play in CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

MURRAY — Lenox scored on the first play from scrimmage to set the tone in a 36-6 victory on Murray’s homecoming Friday night at Keith Shields Field.

Seventeen seconds into the game, the Tigers owned an 8-0 lead on a 49-yard pass from Dawson Tullberg to Sam Donaldson, and a successful conversion pass from Tullberg to Noah Standley.

“We had a blown coverage there,” said Murray coach Taylor Fulton. “Our guy thought he was going to jump a screen play and it ended up going for a long touchdown. We came out and it didn’t look like we were ready to play. I know there are a lot of distractions and stuff with homecoming, but the guys need to come out ready and firing.”

Lenox coach Matt Malausky said his team’s suc-

previous games set up the opening touchdown.

“We ran that bubble screen real successfully the last two weeks, so we thought we’d run a bubble-go (route) and see if they bite,” Malausky said. “Those are the ones you see dropped, he was so open. Sam got it and took off for the end zone to get us off to a good start.”

That’s the kind of opening shot the versatile Tullberg likes as the Tigers’ dual-threat quarterback this season.

“We got things rolling pretty fast,” Tullberg said.

“We like to play fast and get them tired.”

The Tigers’ 28-player roster showed more depth and more weapons on the field Friday against the Mustangs’ squad of 19. And, Murray CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON senior running back Jack Jones returned after missing Lenox senior quarterback Dawson Tullberg races ahead of the Murray defense on a 42-yard touchdown run that gave the Tigers a 28-0 lead late in the first quarter Friday.

In the second half, Creston/O-M quickly secured a running clock, when the offense drove 69 yards over four running plays. Smallwood ran for 50 yards on the drive alone, including a 28yard run to put the Panthers

Airing it out The Panthers took five or six shots down the field through the air, something that the squad has not necessarily done thus far this season.

“We’re typically a fourdown team. It really doesn’t matter where we’re at on the field,” Morrison said. “We feel pretty good about our guys up front that we can get into formation and get a first down with three or less yards. The mentality was ‘let’s take shots on down and distance.’

Creston/O-M totalled 396

yards of offense to Denison-Schleswig’s 265. Much of the Monarchs’ yardage came on the one long non-scoring drive with the Panthers up 21-0 and with a large group of reserves on the field in the game’s final minutes.

Smallwood passed for 136 yards on 6-of-11 attempts for a touchdown. He ran the pigskin for 75 yards and a score.

Shiltz led the way with 117 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

Stults secured the last Panther forced turnover with an interception in the fourth quarter that he returned for 17 yards.

The Monarchs mounted an 80-yard drive that culminated in a 9-yard pass from

Evan Wiebers to David Alvarez for the lone Denison-Schleswig score.

Notable among the reserves was a 52 yard kick return by Travontay Wright.

UP NEXT — Creston/O-M (4-0, 2-0) plays host to Atlantic (1-3, 0-2). The Trojans are coming off of a 24-7 loss to Winterset.

touchdown as Creston/O-M earned its second straight district win of thhis season and improved to 4-0 on the season.

Creston/Orient-Macksburg Senior Travontay Wright (83) returns a kickoff for 52 yards late in the fourth quarter of Creston/O-M’s 42-7 win over DenisonSchleswig.

Teammates mobbed Wright on the sideline after his long return, in what was the longest play of the game for

the deal and just couldn’t get it done. They made some nice plays down the stretch and were able to score a late touchdown on us.”

Eli Loudon converted on 7-of-15 passes for 135 yards and a touchdown to Camden Patterson. Eli Hartman led the way with three receptions for 57 yards. Loudon also ran the ball for 61 yards.

Andy Mills was all over the place with six tackles, a sack, an interception, seven carries for 46 yards and one reception for 55 yards.

Sam Chapman led the defense with 11 tackles and one sack.
