Dannie Stephens selected to CHS Hall of Fame The longtime math teacher and wrestling coach has dedicated his life to helping young people develop. n

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

Even since his retirement in 2006, Dannie Stephens has been on the go helping the youth of Creston and Union County.

Stephens taught math in the Creston school district for 26 years and served several different stints as a wrestling coach in Creston from 1967 through today.

Even outside of the Creston Community School Dis-

trict, Stephens lends his time as a member of both Union County Saddle Club and the Union County Fair Board.

For his years of dedication to Creston Schools, Stephens has been named one of three inductees in the Creston High School Hall of Fame Class of 2016. He will be inducted into the hall of fame during a ceremony 7 p.m.

Thursday in the CHS auditorium.

Stephens was nominated for inclusion in the hall of fame by former colleague Vanita Moberg.

In her letter of nomination, Moberg wrote: “I just don’t think you can find a better individual, Dannie Stephens, to honor on Creston High School’s Hall of Fame, especially one who qualifies in each area of recognition: Distinguished Alumni, Distinguished Faculty and Dis-

tinguished Contributor.”

Creston roots Stephens was born April 9, 1950, at Creston Hospital.

He is the oldest of six children of John and Ruby Stephens.

He attended Shannon City Community School through third grade. When the East Union School District was formed, he enrolled in the Creston School District.

It was a big change for Stephens, going from a combined third- and fourthgrade classroom at Shannon City to the bigger classes at Creston. But, ultimately, it was a change that paid off for Stephens.

“My folks thought I’d be better off in Creston schools,” Stephens said. “At that time, Creston was a stronger school system than East Union with the reorga-

nization. For me, it worked out well because East Union didn’t have wrestling when I graduated.”

Wrestling became a big part of Stephens’ life.

He competed on Creston’s wrestling team all four years of high school, lettering for three years and qualifying for state at 112 pounds in 1968.

Wrestling provided one of the highlights of his high school years, when Creston tied West Des Moines Valley for the district wrestling championship in 1968.

“That was the first state type of competition Creston had any team honors,” Stephens said. “We had four qualifiers that year. Valley had nine to districts.

Fansteel Wellman Dynamics administration filed for bankruptcy about a week ago, the second bankruptcy for the company in the past 15 years.

Fansteel Chief Restructuring Officer Ronald Reuter said the bankruptcy was for the purpose of addressing a maturing bank note sold to a third party.

“The company board made a decision, as an opportunity to address this senior lending creditor that

Wellman, to transition to a strategic lending relationship,” Reuter said.

The bankruptcy was filed under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Iowa, which is described as a reorganization.

In this type of financial decision, a plan of reorganization is proposed in order to keep the business going and jobs in place.

“A financial plan had already been underway several months prior to improve the company’s financial

past,” said James Mahoney, Fansteel chief executive officer. “The plan has led to identifying substantial improvements and production opportunities with its current worldwide customers.

The link with the customers is projected to lead Wellman in the near term to a more profitable and growing business.”

The restructuring plan is still early in the proceedings.

Reuter said a plan like this generally requires presentation of approval of the classes FANSTEEL | 2A

Fansteel Wellman Dynamics, located on Commerce Road near Highway 34, filed for bankruptcy more than a week ago. The company has instituted a reorganization plan and maintained open communications with employees without changing normal operations schedules or cutting financial benefits for employees.

of creditors within 180 days and leads to a confirmed plan requiring court approval within a year.

“Wellman is expecting no interruption of business during this time,” Reuter said.

Mahoney also explained employees’ pay, schedule and benefits are currently unchanged, and that administrators have been meeting with employees to answer questions as the reorganization proceeds.

The company filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2002, after quarterly losses of more than $80 million and the closing of a plant in Muskogee, Oklahoma. In November 2003, the reorganization plan was approved and Fansteel was brought out of bankruptcy.

According to a press release, operating under the protection of chapter 11 reorganization will provide the company’s vendors with assurances that they will be paid for products and services on a going-forward basis so as to ensure stable manufacturing to serve its customers in the normal course. The release also said the restructuring plan will position Fansteel Wellman Dynamics with a stronger business foundation, ultimately leading to expanded order volume for its vendors and a wider array of manufacturing capabilities for its customer base, which has continued to increase.

“We look forward to

the reorganization process as a means to significantly strengthen both our income statement and balance sheet,” Mahoney said. “We have moved forward with this reorganization, confident that the bold steps taken will bring satisfaction and value to our customers, employees, suppliers and the communities in which we operate.”

Mahoney iterated the reorganization will be a benefit to the business, which will help everyone connected to Fansteel.

“We genuinely appreciate the loyal support Fansteel has received from our customers and suppliers, and employees.

We expect the reorganization process to restore Fansteel to a solid financial footing for years to come, which will justify and reward their support,” Mahoney said. “Wellman is a great company and important to the local community, supporting hundreds of jobs an an irreplaceable role in supporting America’s defense for more than five decades.”

Fansteel Wellman Dynamics is a leading manufacturer of precision-engineered cast components for global aerospace, defense and industrial markets.

It was founded in 1907 and employs more than 600 people across the globe. Headquartered in Creston, it’s one of a select number of manufacturers in the world with the expertise and capacity to produce large-scale, highly complex magnesium and aluminum alloy castings to meet design and performance demands of the largest aerospace and defense companies.

CITY:

option than extending the current building.

“To add on ... you’re easily over a half a million dollars, which we all know is not in the immediate budget of the city,” Jackson said.

“This would allow us a couple things. No. 1, we’d be able to move a fire engine to that location. ... Also, it has a large meeting-room area, which would take the pressure off us for a training facility, allowing us to train there.”

The plan is to place one engine at the new station, and the firefighters assigned to that engine would respond to that location.

“The only big issue would be ... if there’s gear at one station that would have to go to the other station,” Jackson said. “But, it occurs in larger cities all the time; they deal with it.”

Jackson said if Creston Fire acquires the building, it could be used for training for other first responders, too.

Another perk for the fire department would be receiving credits from the Insurance Services Office.

“One of the things they look at is response time and diversification of resources, or basically, having fire stations spread out throughout a community,” Jackson said. “They like to have a fire engine every two and a half miles. So, that would help us, especially on that end of town.”

CONT. FROM | 1A

years ago when the Army Reserve firefighting unit moved out of Creston,” Jackson said. “We, at that time, had worked pretty extensively with them training and were told they’d be moving out.”

About six weeks ago, it was revealed the building would be liquidated as an asset to the community and anyone interested in the building could apply for it, Jackson said.

His goal is to have the city acquire the building as a second fire station and training center.

“Our current fire station, ... we’ve outgrown that building,” Jackson said. “It really wasn’t designed for what the fire service does today.

We’re on that verge Jackson of size, and there are communities of similar sizes that operate two stations or multiple stations.

It’s not a totally uncommon thing, and the cost makes it a viable option.”

The cost to the city for utilities would be about $8,000, Jackson estimated.

The current fire station has a small training room, Jackson said.

“It really will not accept more than 18 firefighters in it at a time,” he said. “With our volunteer staff, we’re up to 30 firefighters, so if everybody shows up to training or a meeting, we can’t all fit.”

In addition, the fire department has trailers – a technical rescue trailer and hazmat trailer – that must stay outside due to lack of space.

Jackson said acquiring the building would be a better

Drake University to lock in tuition for incoming students DES MOINES (AP) — Drake University in Des Moines is guaranteeing that next fall’s incoming students will pay the same tuition each year until they graduate.

The Des Moines Register reports that Drake officials think their Drake Tuition Guarantee program is the first of its kind in the state and also among the private university’s official peer institutions.

Drake President Early

“Marty” Martin says the plan is designed to help increase enrollment and improve student retention.

Martin says Drake students have seen an annual average increase of 4.5 percent over the past five years.

Tuition for next fall will increase 11 percent, to nearly $39,000 for incoming students and remain the same until those students are awarded their undergraduate degrees.

Buggy driver died after car collision, Iowa authorities say LIME SPRINGS (AP) — Authorities say a Lime Springs man was fatally injured when his horsedrawn buggy was struck by a car near the northeast Iowa community.

The collision was reported about 7:10 p.m.

Monday, around five miles east of Lime Springs in Howard County. The Iowa State Patrol says a westbound car ran into

the rear of the buggy, which also was headed west.

The buggy driver died later at a hospital. He was identified as 57-year-old John Borntreger. The car driver was identified as 57-year-old Sharla Lieder, also of Lime Springs. It’s unclear whether she was injured.

The collision is being investigated.

Duckworth said. “It would also give me some storage space I don’t have. Currently, all of my assets are sitting in an unsecured lot, so it would provide some protection there. It would also allow us to have an EOC, an Emergency Operations Center.”

The impact of acquiring the large space would be “almost immeasurable” on first-responder training, Duckworth said.

“Getting all of us together in a room is not able to happen – not at the fire department and not here at my office,” Duckworth said. “We just don’t have the room, either one of us. While I have access to the conference room upstairs, that’s not really big enough and it’s not accessible. So, I think it would make a huge impact.

We wouldn’t have to limit our classes to 10 or 15 people, and we’d have room to exercise and do those kinds of things as a response team, and that’s invaluable.”

Duckworth said the building is in good shape for Emergency Management’s needs, but there would be necessary additions, including installing audio-visual equipment.

Potential of working together While Creston Fire and Emergency Management submitted separate applications, the two agencies have expressed interest in possibly working together.

“It’s my hope that the fire department and I can work things out,” Duckworth said. “I really hope Creston Fire, the city of Creston and (Emergency Management) can proceed with this jointly. I have resources they don’t have, and they have resources I don’t have.”

Duckworth added: “I’m anxious to hear what the powers that be on the building have to say, and hopefully we can all move forward and create a valuable relationship.”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, September 21, 2016

Lightning strikes in Oklahoma HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The World Meteorological Association released a photo of a 200-mile-long lightning bolt that lit up the sky over Eastern Oklahoma nine years ago during a thunderstorm. There’s a reason that it took nine years to report it. One thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three.

Beverly Hills construction crews began tearing down Will Rogers’ old house on Beverly Drive Monday. He provided a valuable lesson to future comedians. Will Rogers once joked the U.S. has the best government money can buy, and shortly afterwards he was killed in a mysterious plane crash.

Courtney Vance won the Emmy for Best Actor for his portrayal of the late Johnnie Cochran in “The People vs. O.J. Simpson.” He played a real-life spellbinder. On the last day of

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

the trial, by the time Johnnie Cochran got finished talking to that jury, he even had O.J. convinced he didn’t do it.

Homeland Security admitted Monday that thousands of immigrants from dangerous countries in the terror zone were granted U.S. citizenship due to fingerprinting errors. You can’t make it up. The election is becoming a battle between a Basket of Deplorables and a Boatload of Deportables.

New Jersey police arrested New York and New Jersey bomber suspect Ahmad Khan Ramani after a shootout with police Monday. Twenty-eight people were injured by the blasts. Officials

were grateful there weren’t any more because the medical staff at Chelsea Clinton’s apartment was already stretched thin.

ISIS celebrated the New York and New Jersey bombings committed by Ahmad Khan Ramani before his capture Sunday. The bombing suspect is a 28-year-old Muslim who recently returned from a trip to his native Afghanistan. The Obama administration is still looking for a motive.

NBC News reported that New York City was spared a second bombing on Sunday because thieves found the suitcase in which the bomb was stored and ran off into the night with the suitcase. The motion disabled the bomb. Every now and then, those New York Values come in handy.

New York bombing suspect Ahmad Khan Ramani was caught

by New Jersey cops Monday for setting off the two bombs in New Jersey and Manhattan. The ad-

ministration refused to link him to ISIS. The good news is, he’s got a pair of tickets to the soldout Cat Stevens concert if anybody wants them.

Donald Trump rose to a seven-point lead over Hillary in the L.A. Times-USC nationwide daily tracking poll. His opponents hate him. Jane Goodall just observed that Trump’s behavior is similar to a chimpanzee’s, and now PETA is calling for a boycott of all her shows on the Discovery Channel.

President Obama addressed the Congressional Black Caucus dinner in Washington Saturday and said he’d consider it a personal insult if blacks don’t vote for Hillary. The Bushes, Clintons and Carters are just as concerned. No one wants Donald Trump to have the keys to those file cabinets.

Hillary Clinton addressed reporters at a New York airport

hangar Monday. They covered her every step up the stairs to the plane as she grabbed the rail with one hand and held the umbrella with the other. She went so slowly that the NYPD had time to get to the top of the stairs and pull her to safety.

Vladimir Putin’s United Russia political party on Sunday maintained control of the country in parliamentary elections. However there were reports of ballot irregularities and charges of voter fraud. An optimist is defined as anybody in Russia who stays up late to see how the election turns out.

The Washington Times reported that 10,000 Syrian refugees have been re-settled from the Syrian war zone into U.S. cities.

Several hundred Syrian refugees were recently re-settled in New Orleans and they’re assimilating quickly. In fact, they’re already complaining about the crime.

2016

In reference to my letter a few days ago, “Let’s build uptown Creston back up,” the headline Sept. 8, “Council discusses potential Amtrak agreement,” addresses this very subject. Call it coincidence, call it good luck. This could very well be our first step to revive the downtown.

It’s not every day we get a chance to have somebody like Amtrak drop a million dollars into our restored Depot to further upgrade and relocate their Amtrak Station. This is a golden opportunity and we should work with them to make it happen.

While it’s true that we only see their trains twice every day and their passengers don’t normally

get off to shop in our businesses, it’s an event that we don’t have to take time off from our businesses to make it happen. This updated step into keeping our historical past is a drawing card for our uptown. Believe it or not, rail-fans like the fact that we have an active railroad running right through the middle of our town, and a unique depot only adds to that attraction.

During the days we were more actively involved in tourism, Sandy and I drove around to other towns, just to observe their business layouts. Our conclusion?

Having a square to build around, had definite advantages. Building along the tracks, was not so common but in it’s youth, Creston thrived and became the hub of railway traffic. The mere existence of its many hotels to facilitate that traffic is proof of our success back

in the day.

The railroad often came after the towns were built, one track connecting one small town to the next. Eventually, a maze of track connected nearly every town in Iowa. It was the mode of travel for passengers and products.

Today, most of that is gone. The expression “change is inevitable” brought us good and bad, but through it all, Creston’s railroad has survived and become a main line. Gone are the many passenger trains, but Amtrak survives and we’re lucky to have them.

Those of us who have been around awhile have seen some of that change, but one thing never seems to change, the off-and-on rough crossings. This responsibility rests entirely on the railroad and needs to be addressed by them.

Carter Agency attains Master Farm Certification designation Carter Agency Insurance and Real Estate of Creston has achieved the On Your Side Master Farm Certification designation from Nationwide Agribusiness Insurance Company of Des Moines.

Master Farm Certification is the next step in Nationwide Agribusiness’ On Your Side Farm Certification program.

Farmers and ranchers can depend on a Master Farm Certified agent to have an indepth understanding of their farming operations, provide detailed risk assessments, educate them about exposures, match coverages to meet their needs and provide professional, knowledgeable service. “We’re excited that our agency has become Master Certified,� said Tom Hartsock, agency owner. “We have made a commitment to help protect farmers and ranchers in our area with the highest levels of professionalism and service.

Master certification tells our area farmers that we’ll keep

investing in training to be sure we’re positioned to help protect them now and into the future.�

T h e Master Farm Cer- Hartsock tified designation is also intended to help farmers and ranchers recognize agents who have made a continuing commitment to understanding the complex risks faced by the agriculture industry. Only agents who successfully complete the program will be awarded the designation, and agents must uphold education and service commitments to retain their certification. “Nationwide Agribusiness developed this multi-level certification program to provide additional education and resources to insurance agents who have made a commitment

to protecting farms and ranches,� said Jerry Hillard, farm sales AVP, Nationwide Agribusiness. “We’re proud of the agents who complete the program and are excited about the level of service farmers and ranchers can expect from partnering with Master Farm Certified agents.�

Carter Agency has served the Creston and surrounding areas for more than 60 years, with five licensed agents totaling more than 125 years combined experience.

Links for these livestreamed events appear on the ksibradio.com home page online, as well as the Creston Community Schools website, crestonschools.org. Clicking on the link takes viewers to the provider used by KSIB for its live streaming, citylinktv.com.

“All you have to do is go to our website home page, or the school’s website, and click on the link that says live streaming and the name of the event being streamed,” said Chad Rieck, KSIB general manager. “We intend to also archive t h o s e events for about a week or so, which Rieck should appear as a list on that page once you click into the streaming of an event.

by communications class students to promote those events and other school activities. The videos appear on YouTube and the school’s twitter feed for its Environmental and Spatial Technology (EAST) program, @chseast01.

“For a couple years I wanted to start streaming some things, and we were using what is known as the high school cube (thecube. com),” Thomson said. “ C h a d said he wanted to get into that, too.

So we started out streaming some Thomson wrestling meets.”

Rieck said a partnership using a broadcast news website like KSIB was the perfect vehicle for launching a more comprehensive streaming effort.

Collaboration “We started the conversation then, while we were using the cube, as to how could we work together on this?” Rieck said.

“How can we make this into one thing? That’s how the dream really started.

Finally, last spring we had a meeting with (superintendent of schools) Steve McDermott, Teri Keeler (CHS technology and instructional assistant) and Stephanie Lane from the AEA. It all came together as we talked about students becoming involved in this.

Ryan McKim moved into the EAST instruction position and he also had an interest in developing this as a school program.”

Keeler said an infusion of new technology equipment in the school’s 21st century classroom in conjunction wth Green Valley Area Education Agency provided valuable tools in the melding of students and KSIB broadcasters to present local events online.

Creston High School senior Kadon Hulett operates a mobile video camera during a home volleyball match for the CHS communication class production of Panther TV videos posted on YouTube and the school’s EAST class Twitter feed.

on Sept. 9, when internet capabilities were installed in the Panther Field press box. Rieck and Scott Driskell, a district principal and former Creston football player, provided the broadcast while student Gavin Bernard operated the camera and computer.

Down on the field, meanwhile, additional students were operating mobile cameras to capture video clips to be used on PantherTV, the name for the content uploaded by the communications class to YouTube and the EAST Twitter feed.

At one recent volleyball match, there were no broadcasters, but Bernard and student Brandon Hammons were operating the streaming camera and computer. KSIB’s Horvat and Keeler, a middle school volleyball coach, have teamed up to broadcast other volleyball matches.

Senior Cammy Rutherford has been one of the most active students in editing the final versions of the PantherTV videos.

Having that video capability for live events is a big step forward for alumni and family members residing a distance from Creston.

“It’s certainly advantageous for grandparents or siblings who live a long way away, or when it’s difficult to get around in the winter months,” Messerole said.

“We’ve invested a lot of money in technology and it’s nice to see the students put it to use.”

Learning opportunities

Thomson said the advantage of going through KSIB rather than thecube. com is that advertising revenue associated with the venture can be captured locally, providing yet another means of students becoming involved. Keeler and McKim said the long-range goal is for students interested in all aspects of media production — advertising sales, broadcasting, videography and editing — to have opportunities to learn through participation.

“Right now we have kids learning the computer aspect of it,” McKim said.

“Eventually we’d like Chad or Ryan from the radio to work with students who are McKim interested in the broadcasting, as well as having kids learn about advertising and promotions if they’re interested in that.

We’re not where we can be yet, but we’re getting there.”

Keeler said it’s been exciting to watch the program’s growth and the students’ enthusiasm.

“Last year we livestreamed the recognition program for the state wrestling championship team and we did graduation with a camcorder in the back CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON This is a screenshot of a recent live stream of a Creston home volleyball match against and two students with iPClarinda, available on KSIB’s website.

Actually, it’s a concept that’s been in the works for two years, through the efforts of school staff members Jon Thomson and Teri Keeler.

Thomson, a middle school reading teacher and a coach in the school district, is interested in using technology and began streaming some wrestling events during the winter sports season. Rieck, a former member of the Creston wrestling team and involved in several wrestling broadcasts each year for KSIB, was intrigued by the possibilities of adding video services to KSIB’s programming.

It spawned the rapid growth toward the current situation in which multiple school events are streamed live each month, with additional video clips produced

Live streaming of local events is one of the fastest growing aspects of education, according to Creston High School Principal Bill Messerole.

Many Creston High School events are now live streamed on the internet.

It’s happening at other schools as well. For example, fans in Creston could watch last Friday’s football game in Denison through a link provided by Denison High School and distributed prior to the game on social media sites.

However, Messerole said he and other school administrators will collaborate on policies Messerole to protect the activities budgets, which are driven by revenue from attendance by live audiences. School administrators will be closely watching the effect of widespread online streamin,” Keeler said. “It’s really taken off. Last week the kids did their first ‘hype’ videos for things coming up, and the weekly PantherTV videos. The kids are starting to do some interviews for a pregame show with the live stream, and also some inter-district commercials for things like FFA and FBLA.” Thomson, meanwhile, is working on developing a “feeder system” of students more prepared for these high school activities by teaching technology units at Creston Middle School.

Often, McKim said, students have more advanced knowledge of some of the digital applications than staff members.

“WE’D love to see those kids get that experience. My role is basically to encourage them and help them solve problems along the way.”

ing on attendance figures and gate receipts.

“It’s a changing world,” Messerole said. “It’s great that the kids have these opportunities. But as Hawkeye 10 Conference administrators we have had discussions about developing guidelines for the live streaming. Our budgets are attendance driven.

We know where it’s going, but we just don’t know how fast it’s getting there.”

Already, rights fees have to be purchased to provide video coverage of Hawkeye 10-sponsored tournaments and events. So, schools may not provide live streaming of those events even if internet capablities are present.

And, state associations have restrictions and rights fees attached to any video of postseason tournaments, with exclusive streaming of boys events governed by the Iowa High School Athletic Association’s partnership with the Iowa High School Sports Network.

Many state girls events are broadcast in an agreement with Iowa Public Television and Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union. those kids get that experience. My role is basically to encourage them and help them solve problems along the way.”

EAST classes involve several areas of study besides video work for PantherTV, McKim noted.

“Those kids in the communications class are primarily involved in PantherTV and the streaming work,” McKim said. “But we have many EAST students interested in other things like visual reality in creating a 3D tour of the school, others interested in (computer) coding and web design or even robotics.

The way we’ve designed the EAST classes is to provide them with the time and tools to learn what they’re interested in learning.”

highlight of my high school career.”

Upon graduation from Creston High School in 1968, Stephens attended Southwestern Community College, where he wrestled for the newly formed SWCC wrestling team. He graduated from SWCC in 1970 before attending Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri.

He participated in wrestling for the Bearcats from 1971-72 before marrying Vickie Blazek on July 15, 1972.

Together, he and Vickie have three sons – Shamus, wife Jenny, and twins Shane and Shaun. Shamus and Jenny have three children – Colten, Grace and John Ross.

Teaching career

phens said. “We’d take any kid who wanted to go. It was a big deal. That competition outside of the classroom validated your curriculum that you were doing things right.

Our kids did really well up there.”

When the new high school opened in 1992, Stephens moved his classroom to the high school building, where he continued to teach until his retirement in 2006.

Seeing students develop both in the classroom and in their athletic endeavors was one of Stephens’ favorite parts of teaching.

He told of how students coming into the high school needed recommendations to take Algebra I. “There were always a few kids who were borderline and didn’t get the recommendation but wanted to take (Algebra I),” he said.

“A lot of those kids were really successful because of their hard work and they get after it. That’s a big plus for being in education, seeing those kinds of things.”

Stephens was dedicated to helping students in the classroom.

“As Dannie’s colleague, I know his commitment to the youth of our community,” Moberg wrote in her letter of nomination. “He would arrive well before the needed time each day to help struggling students.”

Stephens started his teaching career in spring 1974 as a long-term substitute math teacher at Bedford High School. From fall 1974 to 1980, Stephens taught high school math and coached wrestling at Bedford.

In 1980, he returned home to Creston to continue his teaching and coaching career. He never left.

“My folks had a farm and had a chance to grow up as farm kids. That was a big point to come back,” Stephens said. “Creston is a little “WATCHING the bigger school (than Bedford) and had big wrestling tradi- kids mature and get tion. And, it’s been a quality school system. We’re pretty ready for life – that’s fortunate here in Creston for the process, not just the school system and opporteaching the subject tunities.”

that’s not always so easy to measure in a classroom,” Stephens said. “Watching the kids mature and get ready for life – that’s the process, not just teaching the subject matter but teaching them about life.”

Stephens even picked up an early-morning paper route in addition to his teaching duties for a time as a way to help teach his sons Shamus and Shaun about life.

“It was one of those things I did when I wasn’t head coaching anymore,” he said.

“The kids could help me. I liked teaching them some chores at that time, too.”

Coaching Stephens served as head wrestling coach all six years he taught at Bedford. He coached Bedford’s first 18 state qualifiers and had one state champion – Don Cox – among eight state placewinners.

He also served as assistant high school football coach, head high school tennis coach and head high school girls track coach throughout his stay in Bedford. He coached Teresa Sheffield to a repeat state championship in the high jump.

Once he returned to Creston, Stephens took over the Creston wrestling program as head coach.

During his five years as head wrestling coach in Creston, Stephens had 12 state qualifiers, including two state champions – Terry Cooper in 1981 and Roger Baker in 1983.

Stephens said one of his best memories from being the head wrestling coach at Creston was having two of his wrestlers named co-valedictorians in 1983.

Throughout the years, Stephens has been a middle school assistant wrestling coach and worked with the Panther Express wrestling team. He continues in those capacities today.

“Ever since I’ve taken over, he’s been one of those

Dannie Stephens, center, shown here early during his wrestling coaching career at Creston High School in the early 1980s, is congratulated by members of his wrestling team after the Panthers won the team title at the Clarinda tournament. Stephens was head coach of the Creston wrestling team for five years and has coached at various levels in the program in the years since.

guys, especially when he was still a teacher, that anytime I had questions or concerns, he would help me out,” said current Creston/O-M Head Wrestling Coach Darrell Frain. “He was my sounding board those first few years.

He’s had his hands involved in every level since I’ve been Frain involved.

The fact he has been a head coach and knew the background of Creston wrestling has helped me out through the process.”

Frain said people like Stephens are what make Creston so special.

“It definitely is a benefit that you’ve got people at the lower levels that love the sport so much,” Frain said.

“They want to teach every aspect of it – winning, losing, technique. I don’t know that I’ve been around many people who love the sport as much as he loves it. He shows his true love for the sport through (the kids).”

Stephens enjoys staying involved in the wrestling program.

“It’s great to be back in and help and be around the kids,” he said. “That’s just an area I really enjoy – being around the room and the competition from the little kids’ club to junior high.

Darrell has done a super job of bringing Creston wrestling to what I always thought it should be. It’s really neat to be around that. It’s fun to help support that venture every year.”

Recent years have shown several examples of what Stephens enjoys most about working with young athletes.

Stephens noted how everyone remembers the state champions, but the development of other athletes is what he enjoys the most.

“There is a lot of pleasure out of kids like Cam Leith, a kid who really didn’t come on until his senior year as being an outstanding wrestler and finally blossomed into the success we hoped he’d have,” Stephens said. “Even kids who weren’t varsity kids. Garret Taylor, ... Zack Peppmeier ... some of those

kids are just as rewarding.

That’s what makes a program great when you have all those other kids. Darrell has developed the total team concept.”

Inductee Stephens is honored to join the Creston High School Hall of Fame with some of its other deserving members.

“There’s a lot of people who have already got it that are really deserving,” he said. “I was surprised and am very honored.”

An added honor for Stephens in joining the hall of fame is that it was started by former Creston High School Principal Todd Wolverton, who Stephens has known since well before Wolverton came to Creston.

“I knew Todd from when he was still in junior high,” Stephens said. “He’s the one responsible for starting this award. That’s another thing that makes it special. Not only was he the principal at Creston for a time, but I’ve known him for a long, long time. Since he started this, that makes it even more rewarding to have this.”

What’s the ‘eggs-act’ size?

Dear Heloise: I’m wondering if LARGE EGGS sold today are not what we considered “large” in the past.

How do we follow recipes that call for large eggs? Has the sizing changed? – Gloria H., Monroe, Ohio Eggs have not really gotten larger, but I know what you mean – they seem bigger than years ago. Large eggs are just more commonly used today than small ones, so continue to use them in recipes as usual.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, egg size does not actually refer to dimensions, but rather the minimum required net weight when packaging a dozen eggs for sale. No two eggs will be exactly the same size in a carton. Body weight, types of feed and food intake all result in larger eggs, which are in more demand because most people cook with medium- to jumbo-size eggs. – Heloise P.S. Ever wonder why it’s hard to find smaller eggs in the grocery store? They are sold mainly to restaurants or are used for making powdered eggs.

Powerful Knights overpower Panthers

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

CARROLL — Class 3A second-ranked Kuemper Catholic came into Tuesday’s Hawkeye 10 volleyball match against Creston with plenty of hype.

The Knights lived up to their billing as one of the state’s top teams, winning handily in three straight sets by scores of 25-13, 25-11 and 25-18.

Creston coach Polly Luther was plenty impressed by Kuemper Catholic.

“They’re the real deal,” Luther said. “They just do everything well.”

Kuemper Catholic was one of seven undefeated teams in the state as of last Thursday according to the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union.

The Knights’ hitters overwhelmed the Panthers at times.

“They have giants in the front row,” Luther said.

“They hit it over you. They hit it hard, real hard.

“If you don’t touch anything it’s going to be a bad deal.”

At times, Creston’s front line was able to slow down the Kuemper Catholic attack, allowing Creston’s back row to at least attempt to dig up the Knights’ kills.

“If we touched the ball, at least got a block on it, at least we could start hitting the ball,” Luther said. “If we could touch it, we could get

it played.”

Still, that wasn’t enough against the powerful Knights.

“They’re the real deal,” Luther said. “They’re maybe one of the top two teams in the state of Iowa.”

Creston did come close in the third set, tying it at 1414 before Kuemper Catholic pulled away.

“We got on a stretch, then they shut us down,” Luther said.

Luther noted Breanna Wallace and Cayla Maitlen,

along with Megan Haley had good night’s hitting.

For the match, Maitlen and Haley each had eight kills. Jaxie Luther had 18 assists. Makenna Hudson had 11 digs, while Wallace added six digs. Haley was 9-of10 serving with three aces, while Hudson was 9-of-10 serving with one ace.

UP NEXT — Creston (58, 1-3) is back on the court Tuesday at Atlantic for a triangular with the Trojans and Lewis Central.

Home course knowledge benefits Creston’s Baker NV’s Weinheimer continues strong start to career

n

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Creston sophomore Brielle Baker and her teammates spent Monday’s practice preparing for Tuesday’s home meet.

Baker’s knowledge of the home course held on the grounds of Southwestern Community College and Crestmoor Country Club aided her greatly.

She took advantage of it to win the Class A portion of the home meet in 21 minutes, six seconds.

Baker won Class A handily, topping Shenandoah-Essex’s Clair Campbell by 35 seconds.

“We ran this course (Monday),” Baker said. “It got me used to it. It really helped me push through.”

Baker passed Earlham’s Eva Fisk late in the race to claim second overall.

“I was able to pass two girls at the very end,” Baker said. “It definitely helped knowing the course beforehand.”

Baker was the first Creston girl to win the Class A portion of the race since former Panther standout and current Northwest Missouri State runner Maria Mostek

won in her sophomore year in 2012.

Baker was spurred on by the large home crowd.

“It means a lot having everybody here supporting you, cheering you on,” Baker said. “That felt really good.”

Baker recorded her highest finish ever in a race overall.

She started out in fifth place and worked her way through the field.

“It felt really good,” Baker said.

Baker beat her time from the Ballard, Huxley, meet by 25 seconds.

“This was another step up for Brielle,” said Creston coach Pat Schlapia.

Baker attacked the race from the opening gun.

“She was in the hunt from the get-go,” Schlapia said.

“There wasn’t any time she was trailing anybody by too much.”

Baker has improved her time by more than a minute and a half since the start of the season.

“That’s very impressive, taking off a chunk,” Schlapia said. “She’s as tough as nails.”

The home course tested Baker and the other runners.

“This is the toughest course we run on,” Schlapia said. “I like how she attacked the hills, going up that last 200 meters to the finish line she was solid.”

Baker attacked the final hill to pass Fisk.

“She turned on the jets

GREENFIELD — The Southwest Valley Timberwolves became road warriors for an evening in Greenfield Tuesday.

A 3-1 win by Southwest Valley came in a riled up gym at Nodaway Valley. After taking the first two sets by scores of 25-20 and 2516, Nodaway Valley came roaring back for a comeback

25-23 advantage. The Timberwolves then fended off a Nodaway Valley run and won the deciding fourth set 25-22.

“Typically we come out of the gate very slowly but this year we’re doing a better job of coming out and being ready to go,” Southwest Valley coach Lindsay Wetzel said.

Southwest Valley looked more cohesive as a unit for much of a night, as Danica Sunderman and the Scha-

fer’s, Jacy and Jentry, led a powerful attack.

Creston’s Irr closes strong in final home meet NV boys dominate Class B section n

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

Creston boys cross country senior Ben Irr felt a mixed set of emotions running in his final cross country meet at home.

Irr channeled his emotions into a sixth-place finish in 18 minutes, 48 seconds in the Class A boys portion of the race held on the grounds of Southwestern Community College and Crestmoor Country Club.

Irr’s knowledge of the course helped him in the later stages of the race as he moved up to sixth.

“It was a weird feeling being my last race here in Creston,” Irr said. “Going up that last hill, it hit me that this is it. I gave it my all. I passed six or seven people.”

Irr received a pick-me-up in the middle of the race.

“Our middle school coach said this is your last race.

Run it hard,” Irr said. “I was like ‘Holy Crap, this is

it.’ From there I kicked it in, gave what I have.”

Irr has stepped up as a leader the young Panther boys team needs.

“It was a good, competitive run for Ben,” said Creston coach Pat Schlapia.

“This is Ben’s team this year.

It was nice to see him have a real nice finish.”

Irr’s close to the race allowed him to move up nicely.

“He had a nice kick,” Schlapia said.

Irr finished ahead of Winterset’s Charles Howell and Daniel Howell.

“He’s had good battles with the Winterset boys,’ Schlapia said. “They’ve gone back and forth. Sometimes they beat him, sometimes he beats them.”

Isaac Wignall was the next Panther runner across the line, placing 28th. He finished 53 seconds behind Irr. “We keep stressing for him to get within a minute of Ben,” Schlapia said. “He keeps whittling that down.

For him to get in the 19 minutes was good. We want to be able to keep improving.”

Creston’s young core was led by freshman Levi Hitz’ 54th-place finish.

The youthful Panthers

continue to learn on the fly.

“The Ballard, Huxley, meet was intense. This meet matched that intensity,” Schlapia said. “With those four freshmen and three upperclassmen, we expect them to continue to grow team wise. We know going into meets like this with more than half the team being youn, we’re going to take our lumps.”

Yet the Panthers are making strides.

“We’re going to show some growth. We want to be able to show some growth,” Schlapia said. “We’re not going to back off. I see a lot of fire from those going. We’re going to keep going after it We just need to keep doing that.”

S. Breheny, NV boys dominate Class B Nodaway Valley senior Shane Breheny went out and attacked the course with vigor.

His effort paid off handsomely.

Breheny was the overall winner and the easy winner of the Class B race.

Breheny topped teammate Brycen Wallace by 43 seconds for the Class B title in 17 minutes, 25 seconds.

and had a real nice kick at the end.”

Baker continues to grow.

“The future’s very bright for her,” Schlapia said.

Rachel Shepherd placed 25th in Class A to earn a medal, the final spot on the podium.

Shepherd turned in a much better effort than the one she had at Ballard, Huxley.

“She came back and improved by a minute and 22 from Ballard,” Schlapia said.

“Ballard, Huxley, may have been one of her worst races. She bounced back very well.”

The gap between Baker and Shepherd was over three minutes, a gap Schlapia said he’d like to see cut down.

“That’s what we need to work on,” Schlapia said.

Lexie Little placed 31st, followed by Sophia Groumoutis in 33rd and Brittany Linch in 39th.

The competition at the home meet tested Creston’s runners.

“We talk about Ballard, Huxley, being an intense race,” Schlapia said. “Being at home was a good experience for these girls. It was a loaded field for the girls and boys. To get in this type of intensity for the first time and see how they would react to it, I think we handled it really well.”

Weinheimer takes control early, dominates Class B

Nodaway Valley freshman Reagan Weinheimer has burst onto the cross country scene.

Weinheimer continued to make her case as one of the top runners in Class 1A with an outstanding race.

Weinheimer won the Class B portion of the meet in 20:53, 21 seconds ahead of Fish and one minute, four seconds ahed of CAM’s Katlyn Holaday.

“I felt like I ran it pretty well,” Weinheimer said.

The hills challenged Weinheimer.

“The hills were not too steep, but they were long,” Weinheimer said.

Running by herself for most of the meet left Weinheimer finding different ways to challenge herself.

“I felt like I needed to push myself better,” Weinheimer said. “It’s hard without someone challenging me.”

Schlapia said it was the hottest temperature he could ever recall for the Creston meet. The warmth bugged Weinheimer a bit.

“I just struggle with the hotter meets,” Weinheimer said. “I do better with the colder meets.”

Weinheimer surged to the front from the start and stayed there.

“Reagan went out strong like she always does,” said Nodaway Valley coach Darrell Burmeister said.

Weinheimer is making a case to be considered among Class 1A’s elite runners.

He was 16 seconds ahead of Class A champion McGwire Midkiff of Thomas Jefferson.

“I was just trying my hardest,” Breheny said. “I wanted to help the team out.”

The rolling hills of the course pushed Breheny.

“My legs are a bit tired,” he said.

But the hills were to his liking.

“I do like the hills,” Breheny said. “I train in the hills.

Most of the running around our house is big hills. I feel like I have an advantage on the hills.”

Breheny found his way back to the top spot.

“We talked about him not finishing first the last few meets because he went out too hard,” said Nodaway Valley coach Darrell Burmeister. “He wanted to do that again one more time.

He said he’d hang on this time. With some really good runners behind him, he ran one of his better races of the year.”

Breheny closed well on the final hill.

“He ran that last hill really well and finished it off,” Burmeister said.

Teammate Wallace was second, leading a Nodaway Valley sweep of the top-five spots and seven in the top-10 overall. The Wolverines finished with a perfect score of 15 in the team race.

“The boys ran real well,” Burmeister said.

The team reached the goal for the night.

“We did it,” Breheny said.

“We were going for a perfect score in the small class.”

Mount Ayr was led by Isaac Timmerman’s 13thplace finish.

Southwest Valley was led

by Connor Haggerty’s 20thplace finish.

East Union was led by Cole Nelson’s 40th-place finish. Lenox’s Jhordan Montiel placed 55th. Orient-Macksburg’s Andrew Hribal finished 57th.

Wetzel said. “It was good for her and she kind of needed that,� she added.

Nodaway Valley on the other hand, suffered from at times unfocused play. Great individual performances over stretches of time were overshadowed by some iffy all-around play. “Tonight we had different people step up at different times,� Nodaway Valley coach Allison Bjork said.

The Wolverines executed better after two less-thanstellar third and fourth set to instigate a nerve-wrenching final two sets. “It’s just teamwork and

Bailey Wiggins tallied seven aces as part of a crucial late-match effort that helped the Wolverines get back in the thick of things. She also posted eight assists. Paige McEflish made several remarkable digs and ended up with 12 total. Sadie Marnin, Josie Clarke and McElfish combined for 13 kills.
