SWCC honors community Two sentenced in connection college proponent

with robbery of Casey’s store

All-American SWCC player Kragel builds Hall of Fame coaching career n

For the past 44 years, David Kragel has been an ambassador for the community college model in public education.

After starring for coach Percy Stielow as an all-state basketball player at Corning High School, Kragel enrolled at Southwestern Community College in the fall of 1972 to begin a stellar two-sport career for coach Ron “Fox” Clinton.

After playing basketball and baseball for the Spartans, earning All-American status as the nation’s leading junior college scorer in the 1973-74 basketball season, Kragel went on to play two years at Oklahoma State University, where he was named most valuable player of the basketball team.

Kragel got into coaching as a graduate assistant at Oklahoma State, given the reins to direct the Cowboys freshman team.

That paved the way for one of the most successful coaching careers in American collegiate basketball.

Kragel, 62, will coach his 40th women’s basketball team this winter at Walters State Community College in eastern Tennessee. The Lady Senators have appeared in 13 national tournaments — including the last five in a row — with finishes of fourth in the nation last year, fifth in 2009 and

Walters State Community College women’s basketball coach Dave Kragel, a native of Corning, has guided the Lady Senators to 16 Tennessee Community College Athletic Conference championships and 13 NJCAA national tournaments in his 39 years as head coach. His career record is 904-260. Kragel, an All-American player at Southwestern Community College, will be inducted into the SWCC Athletic Hall of Fame Wednesday night.

eighth place in both 1992 and 2005.

His career record is 904260, ranking him third among active NJCAA coaches and fifth all-time in career wins. He was inducted into the NJCAA Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2014.

Kragel met his wife, Sharlene Sears of Creston, while a student at Southwestern and they are the parents of two sons with five grandchildren.

Kragel’s latest honor is being inducted into the SWCC Athletic Hall of Fame at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the student center gymnasium, prior to a home volleyball match (see related story).

Corning grad to be inducted into SWCC Hall of Fame David Kragel, 1972 graduate of Corning High School and 1974 graduate of Southwestern Community College, will be inducted into Southwestern’s Athletic Hall of Fame Wednesday night.

The ceremony will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the college’s student center gymnasium, prior to Southwestern’s home volleyball match against Iowa Lakes. The public is invited.

Kragel played basketball and baseball for the Spartans from 1972 to 1974. During his sophomore basketball season, he led the nation in junior college scoring with 773

points and earned firstteam All-American honors.

Kragel has had a successful collegiate coaching career, leading the Walters State Community College women’s basketball team in Morristown, Tennessee, as head coach since 1977. He has surpassed 900 wins as a coach, ranking him fifth overall among all-time winningest coaches in the National Junior College Athletic Association.

Thornton-Culbertson and Martinez, both of Creston, were each immediately transported to prison after they pleaded. They are both eligible for parole, but when that could happen will be decided by the parole board.

has found a second home in Morristown, Tennessee.

Kragel has turned down many opportunities to coach at larger four-year institutions or to take over college men’s basketball programs.

“Junior college has always been good for me,” Kragel said. “The people I’ve been recruiting over the years, they needed to be in junior college. It was my experience coming out of Corning, too. I’m a family man; we had two boys who are now 35 and 32 with their families here in town and in Lexington, Kentucky. We like it here. The people where I live are just like the people in southwest Iowa. They are friendly; they care about you. It’s just like home to me.”

Kragel said he never could have envisioned an All-American career and the chance to play for a major Division-I university coming out of Corning High School. After originally choosing Tarkio College in Missouri, Kragel reconsidered during the summer after high school graduation and asked Clinton if his offer to play at SWCC was still on the table.

It was.

SWCC career Growing to 6-foot-8 while at SWCC, Kragel became the star of the basketball team for Clinton with a national-high 773 points and 507 rebounds as a sophomore. He was also such a talented baseball player as a first baseman that Oklahoma State’s baseball coach asked him to play both sports there, too, before the basketball coach nixed that idea and persuaded him to

roof trusses right now and getting it sheeted,” said Ronda Katzer, project coordinator with American Homes.

“Then, we will get it weather-tight with the windows and doors and work on the inside as far as putting in the dry wall, wiring and insulation and such and then finish it up. I would think by November it should be done.”

The project also includes the addition of parking spaces.

“We do have more than double what we had before the project started,” Pearson said. “This (crematory building) only uses up about eight

concentrate on his basketball scholarship.

“Southwestern was the best place for me coming out of high school,” Kragel said. “First, I was very fortunate to play for Percy Stielow at Corning. We had a good team there and got beat in the substate. Then, being able to play for Fox, that was great for me. Fox was a great game coach, so good at making adjustments in timeouts. He was a big influence on me as a coach, no doubt.”

Kragel had several 50-point games for the Spartans, who fell short of a national tournament appearance. One of his teammates and best friends was the late Kirk Levine, and he lived with Kirk’s parents, Ron and the late Jo Levine, in Creston.

“Grand View was a junior college team back then, and they ended up fourth in the country that year,” Kragel said. “We beat them by 25 with two weeks left in the season. Then we lost to them in the regional tournament. I had 54 points. Fox had so many ways to get me the ball. He had such vision about the game. I still like to talk with him when I come back.”

Clinton, the first inductee into SWCC’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2013, said he knew he had a special talent when Kragel arrived on campus.

“He was a worker, no question about that,” Clinton said. “When we went into him in the post, there weren’t too many people who could handle him. He was like money in your pocket. Then, the success he’s had coaching has been amazing. I’m proud of him.”

After an all-state career at Corning High School, Dave Kragel earned All-American status at Southwestern Community College as a sophomore in 1974 for coach Ron “Fox” Clinton, leading the nation with 773 points and a 29.5 scoring average. He also grabbed 507 rebounds that season, before playing two years at Oklahoma State University.

graduate assistants coach the men’s freshman team, but he provided Kragel that opportunity while pursuing a master’s degree. A coaching career was born.

“Bill Carlisle, who had recruited me to Oklahoma State, was hired as the men’s coach at Walters State and we came out together as I was offered the women’s basketball job and to assist Bill with the men,” Kragel recalled. “He grew up in Morristown. I’ve enjoyed it and the kids have been very successful. We’ve had 150 players sign four-year scholarships after playing here.”

A national championship has eluded the Lady SenaCoaching start tors under Kragel, but he’s Oklahoma State coach not done trying.

Guy Strong didn’t often let “As long as I have the

passion to work at it, get the kids to listen and pay attention, I’ll keep doing it,” Kragel said. “To keep the program where ours is at right now gets tougher every year. I have kids from three or four states. You have to branch out to keep up. The bottom line is, I’ve gone to work for 40 years here and I’m happy. Not everybody can say that.”

Kragel said he was surprised to receive the news about induction into SWCC’s Athletic Hall of Fame.

“I’m just honored,” Kragel said. “I’m just a smalltown kid from Corning, Iowa. Something like that wasn’t anything I ever thought about. I’m really looking forward to it.”

of SWCC Hall of Famers Ron “Fox” Clinton, Bill Krejci and Rita Schroeder.

Clinton, who coached Kragel at SWCC, is retired athletic director, coach and Kragel

instructor at SWCC and the college’s first Hall of Fame inductee in March 2013. Krejci was longtime SWCC athletic director/ athletic fundraiser, coach and instructor. Schroeder, a SWCC graduate and student-athlete, was Southwestern’s longtime volleyball coach.

The agenda for Kragel’s

Hall of Fame induction activities Wednesday includes: • 5:30 p.m. reception in the student center upstairs commons • 6:30 p.m. Hall of Fame induction ceremony, student center gymnasium • 7 p.m. SWCC volleyball vs. Iowa Lakes Community College, student center gymnasium

parking spaces, but we did add, on the corner of Mills and Jarvis, a lot to double our parking spots.”

While previously existing parking spaces are still usable, the additional spaces will be the final leg of the project. Pearson hopes the new parking will be complete before winter weather comes.

The impact of the new crematory on the surrounding neighborhood is expected to be minimal.

“There should be no noticeable emissions,” Pearson said following Creston City Council’s approval to build the crematory in June. “I’ve had questions about smoke or odor, and the state-of-theart equipment is designed to

prevent that – no smoke, no odor.”

The primary purpose of building the crematory is that Pearson Family Funeral Services will now be able to offer an alternative option to traditional funerals.

“It’s mainly so families that choose cremation, we can service them here without their loved one having to go to another location for cremation. The actual process will be handled here, and that person’s loved one stays in our care the whole

time,” Pearson said. “Certainly, some of it has to do with future predictions of the cremation rates in Iowa.

In 2030, they predict that Pearson in Iowa, 75 out of every 100 people will be cremated, so we’re trying to be progressive and be ready for that if that actually comes to pass.”

Hillary and the NFL HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Hillary Clinton spoke to an American Legion convention Wednesday and discussed her belief in America’s world leadership. We don’t always appreciate her true gifts. Hillary Clinton is the very first American to get an e-mail from a Nigerian prince and actually receive the $20 million.

The FBI released records of its interrogation of Hillary for the e-mail scandal Friday. Dozens of times she told agents she couldn’t recall what happened and blamed it on her concussion at the time.

The Clinton Foundation isn’t enough loot for this lady, now she’s trying to get an NFL pension.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater said Friday he is upbeat about how quickly he’ll be able to heal from last week’s knee injury. He told reporters that

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

he has amazing DNA. That means if Teddy’s knee doesn’t heal he can always be the next Republican candidate for president.

Le Monde newspaper reported that workers in a Coca-Cola factory in south France opened up a shipment mailed to Coca-Cola marked Orange Juice and when they opened it up, there was $40 million worth of cocaine inside, not orange juice. Either way, it’s a great way to start your day.

Jet Blue became the first airline to fly a commercial flight from the U.S. to Cuba last week. It was an up and down week for the airline.

Last week, Jet Blue also sent a 5-year-old passenger to Boston

when he was supposed to go to New York, a situation that United generally calls close enough.

“Birth of a Nation” premieres in movie theaters in October about the antebellum black preacher Nat Turner who led a slave rebellion in Virginia. The film is ripe for awards amid today’s racial tensions. The movie ends in a violent shootout, and that’s just in the parking lot of the movie theaters.

Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand for the National Anthem in San Diego drew praise Friday from leaders of Black Lives Matter. It’s a growing chorus. The Black Lives Matter protestors are becoming so loud that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie can barely hear themselves at the dinner table.

Anthony Weiner was offered a job as a porn star by Vivid Entertainment Friday in the wake of his sexting scandal. Three years ago, he was a leading U.S. con-

gressman and now he’s the pool boy, the cable guy and a plumber.

The White House wants credit for adding three new jobs to the economy.

Melania Trump sued the London Daily Mail for $150 million for printing a blogger’s unsubstantiated claim she worked as an escort during her modeling days. It just adds to her humiliation. It’s bad enough she has to explain to her little boy that she’s married to a politician.

Donald Trump detailed his tough immigration policy in a speech in Arizona Wednesday.

Then afterwards, a Hispanic member of his Latino advisory council withdrew his support. He said he would have withdrawn his support for Trump earlier, but he just came out of an 18-month coma.

Mel Gibson will film a sequel to “Passion of the Christ” hoping to resurrect his career. Not long ago,

his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva secretly tape-recorded his racist rant. After all the racial and social progress we’ve seen in the last 40 years, Mel should know by now that all Russians are spies.

North Korea set off alarm bells by successfully firing a missile from a submarine in the Sea of Japan. Their hypersensitive dictator Kim Jung Un makes everyone nervous. Kim just executed his vice premier in charge of education after he found out that Dennis Rodman was not President Obama.

Iran’s government released mock news video footage of an attempted U.S. military invasion of Iran which is thrown back into the sea by the Iranian military. It shows the Iran navy sinking a U.S. naval battleship which sinks with the U.S. flag on fire. The video brought Colin Kaepernick to his feet.

Letter to the editor

Let’s build uptown Creston back up

By Jim Stalker Creston

To quote Ellen Gerharz, “It’s good to have the young people settling in Creston and starting their businesses here.”

Yes, good things are happening in Creston, but while new businesses are locating along the highways, one section of town is sorely in need of a comeback. The oldest, and first section of business, is the old downtown. A few years ago, a few of us business people got together for a sort of brainstorming session looking for ways to bring back the old downtown. The consensus of that meeting was to change the wording from downtown to uptown, thus uplifting the image.

The problem as I see it, is all about the traffic flow. Because we can get about everything we need by going around the more congested, stop at every intersection, search for a convenient place to park section of the old downtown area, we just don’t think about it anymore. We block

it out and go for the easy places to shop, park and buy. Now, that isn’t to say there isn’t business downtown.

There is, but the customer base are the people who have lived here most of their lives. The new people are taking the shortcut around to the edges.

It just makes good sense to follow the flow of the traffic.

Now, how do we change that? I know what I’d do if I ran things. I’d re-route Highway 34 down Adams Street. Sadly, I don’t run things and changing the name to uptown hasn’t seemed to work either. We already have a good mix of businesses, and rent is cheaper for new businesses to get a start. We need people with a vision who want to tackle the problem, maybe build around our restored depot as an anchor, concentrate on the uniqueness and historical impact of the downtown and bring in more specialty businesses.

We have so many drawing cards to Creston, we should still be better than we are. We should recognize our weaknesses, and as a community, work toward building them back up.

2016

USA, USA, Let’s stay away It was a story in USA Today with a big, inky headline that caught my eye: “OVERSEAS WARNINGS ABOUT TRAVEL TO USA COULD HURT TOURISM.” The shoe was on the other foot, the worm had turned. “A growing number of countries,” the story said, were warning their citizens about taking trips to the United States. Those countries included fairly civilized ones – the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, New Zealand, the Bahamas and the United Arab Emirates.

Concerns those countries have, it said, include “mass shootings, police violence, anti-Muslim and anti-LGBT attitudes and the Zika virus.” An international tourism consultancy in Scotland was quoted about the potential erosion of “the positive image of the U.S.” It would seem the negatives do add up.

I can’t help but think back to childhood and the rare occasions when somebody from our Baptist church would take a trip “overseas.” Nobody said “abroad” back then. People occasionally, and on purpose, went “overseas,” which is a lot better word, more evocative.

When the traveler returned, the curious churchwomen – always the women – would plan a meeting around teetotaler

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

punch, cookies and a slide show, and the “experienced” tourist would proceed to tell stories that always had the same theme: “The trinkets were nice, but I’m glad to be home and to be an American.”

Ours was a provincial and smug society.

There was an obsession with foreign bathrooms – location, unisex-accessibility and quality of toilet paper. Especially when the person had been to France, you also heard about rude waiters and pickpockets. When the traveler had been to England, there was much discussion of bad food. If they’d been elsewhere, well, we just didn’t talk about it.

In the pre-terrorism days of yore, never once did the adventuresome pilgrim bring home tales of mass shootings, of course. We were warned not to go because of inferior toilets and rough paper. And having the stereotypes reinforced, we’d all feel lucky in unison that we were safe at home with no plans to go anywhere.

I’m planning a trip to France

next month -- it’s been five years – and already several friends have expressed concerns because of recent terrorist killings.

I appreciate those concerns, truly, but have to say I continue to feel safer in France than I do in almost any U.S. city. I will take my chances.

I’m not wild about what the tourist books describe as the “fierce French drivers,” many of them behind the wheels of taxis, but otherwise I feel relatively safe, as safe as you can feel anywhere in these turbulent times.

This will be my ninth trip to France, and I hope not my last.

On my third trip in 1996 I asked a Frenchman if he’d ever been to the U.S. and, if not, would he like to visit.

“Non, non,” he said with conviction, then used his index fingers to make pretend pistols.

“Bang, bang,” he said, “John Wayne!”

Guess in recent years his fears have been reinforced, and today come government-issued.

Now I’m on the side of the seas with more dangers than you can shake a stick at, the kind other governments warn their innocents abroad about.

And, I hate to mention it, but I’ve been to more horrible restrooms in one trip along Interstate 40 across Arkansas than I’ve seen in eight visits to France.

Muscular Dystrophy Association seeks post-telethon identity NEW YORK (AP) — For 45 years, many Americans identified the Muscular Dystrophy Association with one man and one event — comedian Jerry Lewis and his annual Labor Day telethon.

The MDA dropped Lewis as its national chairman and telethon host in 2011, then scrapped the telethon itself last year.

So how is the charity faring in this new era, as a no-telethon Labor Day approaches? The report card is mixed.

On the upside, the MDA’s leadership brims with enthusiasm about steps taken this year — among them, expanding online outreach and fundraising, and pledging to double spending on research toward drug development and clinical trials to better combat a range of muscle-debilitating diseases.

“We expect more new treatments and therapies in next five years than in the past 50 years combined,” said Steve Derks, the MDA’s president since 2013.

On the downside is a challenging financial picture.

In its latest report to the IRS, the MDA said it received contributions totaling about $135 million in 2014. According to data compiled by the Chronicle of Philanthropy, that’s down from a peak of $183.5 million in 2007. The data also shows the MDA slipping in comparison to other U.S. charities — it ranked 32nd in 1991 in terms of private donations, and fell to 192nd in 2014.

The impact has been tangible. The MDA says its staff is now about 800, compared to about 1,200 a decade ago, and the funds invested in research dropped from $37 million

in 2006 to $18.5 million in 2014.

Stacy Palmer, editor of the Chronicle of Philanthropy, said the MDA’s decision to abandon the telethon in favor of new, online-based fundraising methods epitomized the challenges faced by many long-established charities.

“Everything a nonprofit does these days could have the potential of turning off one of the groups that’s been very loyal,” she said.

“How do they reach a new generation of donors while not losing their longtime supporters?”

The MDA’s ties with Lewis date back almost to its founding in 1950. The next year, Lewis and his comic partner Dean Martin mentioned the charity on their NBC show, and they hosted a telethon in 1956.

Lewis began hosting the telethon regularly in 1966 and continued through 2010. Guest stars over the years included Frank Sinatra, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles and Celine Dion.

In its peak years, the telethon ran for more than 21 hours, with the tuxedo-clad Lewis pushing himself to exhaustion before ending with his schmaltzy rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”

Lewis’ abrupt exit, announced by the MDA a month before the 2011 telethon, was never fully explained, though it was clear that the declining reach of broadcast TV was a factor.

The rift was patched over last January when Lewis taped a message for the charity’s launch of its new logo and motto, “Live Unlimited.”

“Families have disagreements, families make up,” said the MDA’s chief spokeswoman, Roxan Olivas. “We would not be where we are today with-

out him.”

Over 45 years, the telethon raised nearly $2 billion, according to the MDA. But the event had critics — notably people with muscular dystrophy who said they were being made objects of pity.

“We objected to the telethon’s damaging narrative that depicted disabled people as nothing more than helpless victims,” activist Mike Ervin wrote an online post last year.

The MDA’s current messaging emphasizes barrier-breaking and self-reliance.

Embodying that spirit is 25-year-old Joe Akmakjian of Fort Collins, Colorado, who this year became the first adult named as the MDA’s national goodwill ambassador.

Akmakjian, who has used a power wheelchair since he was 3, graduated from Colorado State University in 2013 and works as director of marketing and client relations at a pain management clinic.

Akmakjian says that when he was little, his parents were warned by a doctor that he wouldn’t live past age 12. Last year, he celebrated the doubling of that life expectancy by going skydiving, strapped to his instructor for the jump.

His loyalty to the MDA dates back to childhood, when he attended summer camps run by the charity.

“Going to camp the first time was really scary for me — I’d never been cared for by anyone besides by mom,” he said. “Camp opened my eyes to the future I might have — living independently, living life my way, on my terms.”

The camp program, which serves roughly 3,800 children each summer at no charge, is one of three main components of the MDA’s work, along with

funding of research and operating a nationwide network of more than 150 care centers. The centers serve about 100,000 people annually; the MDA hopes to boost that to 150,000 by 2020.

The MDA was among numerous health-oriented charities which took note of the Ice Bucket Challenge, the 2014 phenomenon that become a social-media sensation. It raised $115 million to boost the fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known in the U.S. as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

The MDA cited the challenge last year when it announced the end of its telethon, saying it would seek “new, creative and organic ways to support our mission.”

One of the new initiatives was launched this summer: a six-week online awareness and fundraising campaign that included live music performances, online games, and opportunities for families affected by muscular dystrophy to share inspirational stories.

The MDA would like to improve its rating with Charity Navigator , a charity-assessment group. It gives the MDA two stars out of four in its latest ratings, saying it could do better on various financial criteria, including spending less of its revenue on fundraising operations.

Steve Derks, the MDA’s president, wishes the charity-rating groups were able to gauge how well charities carry out their mission.

“There’s nothing to measure the impact that the MDA has had on the thousands of children who’ve gone through our summer camps — the impact we’ve had on their confidence, their ability to live a full life,” he said.

There she is: Out of the closet, and ready for Miss America ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — After competing in pageants for generations in the closet or working behind the scenes, gays and lesbians finally get to see one of their own take one of pageantry’s biggest stages.

Miss Missouri, Erin O’ Flaherty, will compete for the Miss America crown this weekend as the first openly lesbian contestant.

“Behind the scenes, we’ve been well-represented, but I’m the first openly gay title holder, so I’m very excited,” she told The Associated Press in a recent interview.

“I knew going in that I had the opportunity to make history. Now I get to be more visible to the community and meet more people.”

Rich Helfant, executive director of the Greater Atlantic City GLBT Alliance, helps run the Miss’d America pageant, a drag spoof of the Miss America pageant that has become popular in Atlantic City as an entertainment and fundraising event. He said he’ll watch the Miss America pageant finals Sept. 11 with extra interest this year.

Miss’d America took its name from the fact that many gay pageant workers toiled behind the scenes during Miss America and never got to see what was happening onstage.

“They literally missed Miss America,” Helfant said.

Robert Hitchen of Philadelphia appears regularly in the Miss’d America pageant under the stage name Sandy Beach and recalled decades of behind-the-scenes work on pageants, including de-

signing floats, and later riding on them in Miss America parades.

The “Show Us Your Shoes” parade that has become a fixture of Miss America, in which contestants ride in vehicles on the Boardwalk and show off their state-themed footwear, sprang from the interest of gay spectators, he said.

“We would watch the parade from the deck of a hotel and we’d look down into the cars and see some of the women wearing slippers or being barefoot, and we started calling out, ‘Show us your shoes!’” he recalled.

“We sort of embarrassed them into wearing these big elaborate shoes, which are the highlight of the parade now.”

Antwan Lee, who won the Miss Gay America 2016 pageant under the stage name Asia O’Hara, would excitedly watch Miss America every year as a child and a young man, imagining what it would be like onstage.

“I would always gravitate toward celebrities and singers and actresses that had a high level of glam: beautiful, poised people who would live their life with a high degree of dignity,” he said.

“To see that on TV with 50 women, as a young gay boy, that’s the first place you see such a concentration of that.

I was like, ‘Wow, look at all those beautiful women, all the class, all the glamor!’ It’s very alluring.”

Lesbians have been more visible in pageants lately.

Djuan Trent competed in the Miss America pageant as Miss Kentucky in 2011, when she finished in the top

10. She came out as a lesbian in 2014.

Patricia Yurena, twotime winner of the Miss Spain contest and a runner up in the 2013 Miss Universe competition, announced in 2014 that she is a lesbian, posting a photo of her and her girlfriend cuddling, titling it “Romeo and Juliet.”

In 2012, two openly lesbian contestants, Jenelle Hutcherson and Mollie Thomas, competed in the Miss California USA pageant but did not advance to the national Miss USA pageant competition.

O’Flaherty is the first Miss America contestant to win a state title after coming out; Trent came out after competing.

Hitchen said the social activism of many Miss America contestants resonates

with the gay community; the Miss’d America drag queen parody pageant raises $300,000 a year for local and national charities and has become the top social event of the year in Atlantic City’s gay community.

Josh Randle, chief operating officer of the Miss America Organization, said the pageant reflects an evolving America.

“Through every major milestone of our nation’s evolution, Miss America has provided a voice for women from all walks of life, and, this year, we welcome our first openly gay contestant,” he said. “Miss America contestants continue to be the best and brightest in the country, and we proudly support each and every young woman who competes in our national program.”

Dorgan anniversary card shower planned The family of Larry and Mary Jo Dorgan is hosting a card shower in honor of the couple’s 50th wedding anniversary Sept. 17.

To celebrate, the couple and immediate family went on a trip to Hermann, Missouri.

Max Ritvo, poet who chronicled cancer battle, dies at 25 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Max Ritvo, a poet who chronicled his long battle with cancer in works that were both humorous and searing, has died. He was 25.

Ritvo died Tuesday morning at his home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, his mother, Ariella Ritvo-Slifka, said Friday.

Ritvo was diagnosed at 16 with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare cancer that affects bones and soft tissue in children and young adults.

Treatment brought about a remission that permitted Ritvo to finish high school and attend Yale University, where he performed in an improv comedy group. His teachers included Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Louise Gluck.

Ritvo’s cancer returned in his senior year, but he completed Yale and this year earned a master’s degree from Columbia University.

Ritvo’s battle with the disease informed his works.

A June poem in The New Yorker discussed an experiment where cells from his tumors were used in cancer drug treatment experiments with mice.

“I want my mice to be just like me,” Ritvo wrote.

“I don’t have any children.

I named them all Max. First they were Max 1, Max 2, but now they’re all just Max. No playing favorites.”

Ritvo’s first book of poetry, “Four Reincarnations,” is scheduled to be published this fall.

In radio and podcast interviews, Ritvo spoke about his suffering. But he rejected any idea that he was a victim of the disease — especially a heroic one.

At their wedding last summer, Ritvo and his wife, Victoria, banned words such as “inspirational” from the speeches, his mother said.

“He was about love and compassion, human and animal rights and about writing and sharing himself with the world,” she said. “He didn’t want people to see him as an invalid.”

Ritvo saw humor not as a coping mechanism but as an intrinsic part of dealing with his illness.

“You know, we imagine in our hysteria that it’s disrespectful for the sadness. But when you laugh at something horrible, you’re just illuminating a different side of it that was already there and it’s not a deflection, it makes it deeper and makes it realer,” he said last month in the WNYC Studios podcast “Only Human.”

Ritvo also inspired people with his attitude, his wife said.

Ritvo was writing until just days before his death and had told his family that the end would be near when he was no longer able to write.

The day before his death, he told his mother and wife: “I can’t write anymore, I can’t speak, I can’t breathe...I’m not me...You guys have to be OK with me going,” his mother said.

Earlier this month, Ritvo tweeted a link to poem called “The Final Voicemails,” which he said was “about goin a bit loopy under quarantine and what Death is.”

Its final lines: “Red as earth, red as a dying berry, red as your lips, red as the last thing I saw — and whatever next thing I will see.”

Separate shipping?

Dear Heloise: I recently phoned in a LARGE ORDER FROM A CATALOG. I made a complete list of everything ordered. The problems began when some items were not included in the shipment by mistake, and they got worse when I had to make some returns.

Everything needed the original invoice.

My hint is that when ordering online or from a catalog, order each item separately so you will have a separate invoice for each item. Of course, shipping and handling costs are a consideration, so some orders may need to be for multiple items in order to receive free shipping. The fewer items on each invoice will make tracking and returns easier. -- A Reader, via email This could work in some situations, but like you stated, shipping costs definitely are something to consider before doing this. Also, I would only do this when I was really concerned that an item was not going to work for me. This is not something I would do all the time. -Heloise REMOVE SIGNS Dear Readers: Here are some reader responses to a previous column about garage-sale signs: Melba B. in Katy, Texas,

Jude M. in San Antonio wrote: “It’s often hard to read them from a passing car because the sign gets posted at shoulder level (or even higher) by the person who is putting it up. Many people in their cars are seated just a foot or so above curb level! So to keep that sign at their eye level, post it closer to your knee level. And use BIG letters.”

Raiders finish strong at SW Valley, 27-17

By LARRY PETERSON Cobb to Grant Mauer in the CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

CORNING — Mount Ayr overcame four firsthalf turnovers to overtake Southwest Valley in the second half for a 27-17 victory Friday night.

In the first home appearance under head coach Anthony Donahoo, who played on the field for the Corning Red Raiders, the Timberwolves capitalized on early Mount Ayr mistakes to take a 17-14 halftime lead.

Both teams were coming off opening-week victories — Mount Ayr had pummeled Nodaway Valley in a rain-shortened 35-0 victory; while Southwest Valley rallied late to knock off Class 2A Red Oak, 32-28.

Playing up a class again Friday, the Class A Timberwolves matched the 1A Raiders’ physically and scored after the fourth Mount Ayr fumble of the first half on a connection from quarterback Chance

left corner of the end zone with 22 seconds left.

That 17-14 margin held up through the third quarter despite a steady 12-play drive by the Raiders to open the second half. However, Southwest Valley defensive lineman Scott Palmer sacked Marcus Daughton on a fourth-down rollout play at the Timberwolf 21yard line to end the threat.

From there, with Tristan Holmes taking over at quarterback for the Raiders, Mount Ayr controlled the action 13-0 to come away with the 10-point victory.

CLARINDA — Four hundred one yards on the ground and six rushing touchdowns is probably the quickest way to put into words Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s crushing 48-0 win at Clarinda Friday.

Chase Shiltz accounted for 158 of the Panthers’ 281 total rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns and a passing touchdown in the first half alone.

Shiltz’s touchdown runs totaled, in order, distances of 1, 3, 2 and 81, the last coming on fourth and one on the Panthers’ own 19.

Kylan Smallwood made his first start at quarterback and handled the duties with relative ease. Though passing plays weren’t called often in the game, Smallwood executed strongly on several keeper plays and sprinted his way to 99 yards rushing on 10 carries. This included a 31-yard sprint and score

in the closing minutes of the third quarter.

Creston/O-M co-coach Ryan McKim heaped praise upon the front line who created gaping holes in the Clarinda defense repeatedly throughout the night.

“Not only are our guys big and athletic, we’ve got smart guys. We really do,” McKim said. “They execute at a high level mentally and physically.”

After having already scored 27 points, the Panthers forced a punt with less than a minute remaining in the second quarter. Going into two-minute drill mode, the Panthers looked calm while quickly working their way from the Clarinda 39 down to the six-yard line.

Shiltz lined up in the shotgun and lofted a pinpoint pass high to the back left pylon along the Clarinda sideline to a waiting Smallwood for another score. The Shiltz two-point conversion made the score 35-0 and good to secure a running clock for PANTHERS | 8A

Area football: East Union overcomes adversity, moves to 2-0

By RYAN KRONBERG

CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

MALVERN — Adversity struck the East Union Eagles football team Friday in the form of a serious injury to one of their teammates.

The Eagles rallied together and pulled through in impressive fashion.

Mason Gossman caught two touchdowns passes and Sanden Cheers had three touchdowns as East Union improved to 2-0 with a 26-18 win at East Mills Friday.

The Eagles were hit with adversity halfway through the first quarter when Joshua Hardy went down with a broken fibula. Hardy was transported Gossman by ambulance to a Council Bluffs hospital at first, and later to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. Hardy will miss the rest of the season with the injury.

The injury happened on a punt return.

Cheers Three plays after the injury, Cheers connected with Gossman for the first of two touchdowns.

“We buckled down and played some really good football in light of the situation of losing one of their fellow players,” said East Union co-coach James Hardy. “They played their hearts out.”

The Eagles took to heart the message the coaching staff had told them earlier in the season.

“We spoke to them about how you respond when you face adversity like that,” coach Hardy said. “Often time, a team folds in that situation.”

East Union rose to the challenge on the ensuing drive with the touchdown to go up 14-0.

“They came out more aggressive,” coach Hardy said. “They went down in three plays and scored.”

East Union matched East Mills’ physicality.

“They’re a very physical team,” coach Hardy said. “Our guys equalled the challenge and it turned out to be a victory.”

The Eagles know they can go toe-to-toe with a team physically going forward.

“It gives us the ability to say to the kids that we did respond to the challenge,” coach Hardy said, who left to be with his son after the injury. Co-coach Craig Ditzler led the team for the rest of the game.

Winning on the road was also important in light of what is coming in district play.

The Eagles have trips to Bedford, Lenox and Mormon Trail upcoming.

“We’re going to have to buckle down and become road warriors because that’s the nature of our schedule,” coach Hardy said.

“For the most part, they buckled down and played some really good football in light of losing one of their fellow players. They played their hearts out.”

Gossman caught two passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns.

Cheers completed both passes to Gossman.

Cheers also rushed for 56 yards on eight carries and scored one touchdown. Matthew Wittstock rushed for 90 yards on 24 carries.

Kole Seales had 47 yards rushing on 16 carries.

East Union picked up a big play from its special teams as Gabe Nixon returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown.

Cheers led the East Union defense with eight solo tackles and three assists. Lane Ripperger had eight solo tackles and two assists. Beau Boswell had eight solo tackles.

Gossman had six solo tackles and three assists.

UP NEXT — East Union opens Eight-player District 6 play against Murray.

The Mustangs, 2-0, clobbered Melcher-Dallas 62-22.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Afton.

“We look at those as a playoff game every game from here on out,” coach Hardy said.

“We have to take it one game at a time, focus on our opponent, get squared away.”

Players on both teams are familiar with each other.

“They’ve got some good, solid athletes,” coach Hardy said. “We’re aware of what they have. They’re aware of what we have.

It will be a good first test.

“It’s going to be a big ball game Friday.”

Murray races past Melcher-Dallas MURRAY — Murray’s speed was going to be a test going up against Melcher-Dallas’

size during Friday’s Eight-player non-district football game.

The Mustangs’ speed allowed them to race past the Saints in dominating fashion 62-22.

Murray improved to 2-0 for the first time since 2012.

Murray simply ran past Melcher-Dallas most of the night, particularly in the opening 24 minutes.

“We had a lot of speed. That opened things up for us,” said Murray coach Taylor Fulton. “They were real big and physical.

We were able to take advantage of that with our speed. We were able to make things happen for us offensively and defensively.”

Running backs Jack Jones and Devin Slaughter ran past the Saints often.

Jones finished with 169 yards and three touchdowns. Slaughter rushed Gossman for 70 yards and one touchdown. Dustin Teas added 32 yards rushing and one score.

Zane Black completed 7-of-17 passes for 87 yards and two touchdowns. Jimmy Cook had three catches for 58 yards and a score.

Bryce Keller and two catches for 23 yards and two scores.

Black started the scoring with a 28-yard pass to Cook.

Jones followed with touchdown runs of 49 and 13 yards to give the Mustangs a 22-0 AREA| 12A

PANTHERS: CONT. FROM | 6A

the second half.

“Overall, you see the athleticism of Smallwood and competing on defense and quarterback is not easy. For us to be successful on defense he has to do both,” Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison said. “And we have some kids at corner who can help us out too…he’s very dynamic as a running back slash quarterback. He does some good things for us.”

It wasn’t just the offensive line that controlled the game. The defense did its part as well.

“I think Coach Tanner did a great job with the defensive line moving kids in and out to give them rest,” Morrison said. “Same with the offensive line, I mean we’ve got some good rotations going in, we’re going to need that when we get going with district play.

The front eight on defense for Creston/O-M made things less than enjoyable for the Cardinals and their double wing attack.

“I thought our kids played hard up front. Our front eight played really well,” Morrison said.

Seven different Panther athletes tallied 11 total tackles for loss with Dale Boyer and Kadon Hulett both accounting for three of them.

Boyer didn’t even start and managed to total five assisted tackles, several on special times while fellow non-starter/linebacker Dustin Merritt had a solo tackle and four solo tackles.

“I think we’re seeing progress from Boyer and Merritt at those two positions and those two positions are key positions,” Morrison said.

Shiltz and Mitchel Swanks’ participation on both sides of the ball make Boyer and Merritt’s ability to jump in on defense crucial.

“Our key subs have to realize that they have the opportunity play a lot of football this year be it on offense or defense,” Morrison said.

“They just have to understand that for them to play on Friday night, they have to understand the scheme, be focused out there and do the right thing.”

The team’s defensive backs helped to limit any potential big-play damage. Several shoe-string tackles from Smallwood and Zach Carlson helped nix what could have been the biggest plays of the night for Clarinda.

“I think our safety Carlson played really well, coming up and making tackles for like three-yard gains,” Morrison said. “Previous years we didn’t have the right people at those positions because of injuries.”

On the first Creston/O-M drive of the game, the Panthers marched 75 yards on

seven plays before Shiltz’s direct snap rushing touchdown from a yard out.

After a Clarinda threeand-out, Smallwood returned a short punt to the 18-yard line but penalties forced a long Evan Jacobson field goal attempt that did not yield any points.

The last four drives of the half of 21, 79, 90 and 39, ended in touchdowns.

Rylan Luther recorded Creston/O-M’s last points of the night on a short plunge in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals did pick up some yardage against a group of reserves in the fourth quarter, but Bryce Fitzgerald nabbed

a deflected pass in the Panther end zone with less than 30 seconds remaining to preserve the shutout, much to the delight of the Panther sideline and those who made the hour-long drive.

UP NEXT — The Panthers, (2-0), host Harlan to start off Class 3A District 7 play.

“It’s old school now. Every district game is a playoff game,” Morrison said. The kids have to have the mentality that you can’t take a loss.

It’s unacceptable. You’ve gotta win every game and we do that by winning every snap.”

Held had two solo tackles, two assists and a fumble recovery. Josh Webb recovered a fumble.

The Mustangs were often able to reestablish the line of scrimmage in the Saints’ backfield.

In all, the game was never in doubt as the Mustangs dominated.

“It was the best I’ve seen the team play in a couple of years,” Fulton said. “It was our m o s t c o m p l e t e Fulton game.”

UP NEXT — Murray, 2-0, opens Eight-player District 6 play on the road at East Union.

East Union, 2-0, stayed perfect with a 26-18 win at East Mills.

Friday’s win gives the Mustangs plenty of positive energy going into week three.

“It sets us up with some momentum,” Fulton said.

Malausky and his coaching staff saw a Malausky team ready to rise up.

“We challenged them about how you’re going to bounce back when adversity strikes,” Malausky said.

“Are you going to hang your head or are you going to push forward?”

The Tigers certainly pushed forward, led by Tullberg. Tullberg ran the option attack effectively.

Tullberg was effective through the air as well. He completed 5-of-9 passes for 72 yards and three touchdowns. Colton Hogan had one reception for 33 yards and a touchdown. Noah Standley had one reception for 19 yards and one touchdown. Sam Donaldson had one reception for five yards and a touchdown.

The option could not be stopped.

“They did a good job of coming out and executing the game plan,” Malausky said. “They believed in the technique we showed them this week. They did what we wanted them to to. They came out and executed the game plan. They went hard.”

Lenox raced out to a 42-0 lead at halftime.

“We finally got clicking offensively,” Malausky said.

“Our line blocked really well. Dawson made some great reads on the option.”

The Tigers kept the turnovers to a minimum.

“We really minimized our mistakes as compared to the week before,” Malausky said. “We talked about limiting turnovers. We did a better job of taking care of the football.”

Lenox played with much more confidence this week.

“They felt more comfortable with what we were trying to achieve.”

The win was a needed shot in the arm for the Tigers heading into district play.

“This is really good,” Malausky said. “This boosts their confidence.”

Nodaway Valley hangs with Interstate 35 for half, but falls at home GREENFIELD — For 24 minutes, Nodaway Valley was right with Interstate 35 during Friday’s non-district football game.

The Roadrunners eventually wore down the Wolverines in the second half as Interstate 35 pulled off a 32-0 win.

The game was scoreless after 12 minutes.

“We played well for a half,” said Nodaway Valley coach Steve Shantz.

The Wolverine defense did their part to keep the Roadrunner offense held in check.

“For the most part, we contained their quarterback,” Shantz said. “We didn’t give up big plays. We might have given up a chunk here or there until the second quarter.”

Mental breakdowns cost the Wolverines offense in the first half.

Southwest Valley junior receiver Addison Bull clutches a pass from junior teammate Chance Cobb for a 21-yard touchdown while defended by Mount Ayr junior Marcus Daughton to open the scoring in Friday’s game at Corning. Bull also kicked a 23-yard field goal as the Timberwolves fell to the Raiders, 27-17.

quarter with a lead. Credit to Mount Ayr. They were committed to running on the edges there in the second half and they just had a little more speed there.”

Optimistic Donahoo said his team continued to provide optimism, even in defeat.

“We had beaten a 2A opponent last week and tonight we were right there with a quality 1A opponent,” Donahoo said. “We wanted to show we had a different product here at Southwest Valley. With the (drops), I think we just wanted it too much. You could tell they were thinking about the next thing, before they were thinking about the catch.”

Mount Ayr co-coach Derek Lambert told the Raiders afterward they had achieved a positive outcome after overcoming adversity.

“We made too many mistakes in the first half, but we didn’t wallow in self-pity,” Lambert said. “In the second half we stepped it up a notch.

They are a physical team with some talented kids.

They’re going to win some football games.”

District play opens this week as Mount Ayr travels to Central Decatur, 2-0, while Southwest Valley plays at 0-2 Earlham before hosting Griswold for homecoming.

game-high 149 yards rushing on 14 carries, scored his second 2-yard touchdown of the night and Holmes capped it by rumbling 8 yards on a keeper with 2:11 remaining.

“We found ways to get it done,” said Mount Ayr cocoach Delwyn Showalter.

“We finished strong in the fourth quarter. I thought our offensive line did a really nice job and defensively we started getting a pass rush in the second half. We were our own worst enemy in the first half, but they were playing physical and made some of those things happen.”

Addison Bull took a 21yard pass from Cobb for the first scoring play of the game after one of two early Mount Ayr fumbles. Cal Daughton answered with a 24-yard touchdown scamper for the Raiders as the quarter ended at 7-7.

Phelps scored to make it a 14-10 Raider lead shortly after Bull’s 23-yard field goal for Southwest Valley in the second quarter.

Momentum swing Mount Ayr appeared to be running out the second-quarter clock with the 14-10 lead in the final minute when the Timberwolves pounced on another Raider fumble deep in Mount Ayr territory with 27 seconds left. Five seconds later Mauer gathered Cobb’s lofted toss on a fade route to lift the Timberwolves in front, 17-14, at the break.

Cobb had a productive game, finishing with 76 yards rushing and 107 yards through the air on six completions, including the two TD connections.

But, dropped passes and unfinished drives hampered Southwest Valley’s ability to finish the game successfully in the second half. And, Mount Ayr’s rushing attack gained consistency without the turnovers that halted possessions in the opening half.

“It was a best case scenario for us,” Donahoo said.

“We went into the fourth

“We moved the ball well offensively, but then we had a situation where nobody could hear our quarterback signals,” Shantz said. “We had a lot of procedure penalties, missed assignments.”

Interstate 35 struck right before halftime on a big play and led 6-0 at halftime.

The Roadrunners depth wore down the undermanned Wolverines in the second half.

“The fourth quarter, we really wore down,” Shantz said. “We were tired out there.”

Only going 22 minutes in last week’s 35-0 loss at Mount Ayr played a factor for the Wolverines, Shantz said.

“Not playing a full game last week hurt us with our conditioning, game-type conditioning,” Shantz said.

Interstate 35 quarterback Brayden Egli threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns.

Roadrunners running back Mason Cassidy ran for 146 yards and three scores.

The lack of depth cost the Wolverines as the game progressed.

“Fatigue: when that sets in, the mental part of your game goes,” Shantz said.

“When your fresh, it’s easy to get to the right spot.”

UP NEXT — Nodaway Valley, 0-2, opens Class 1A District 5 play hosting sixthranked St. Albert. St. Albert, 2-0, defeated Class 2A ninthranked Kuemper Catholic 21-13.

“It’s not going to get any easier,” Shatnz said.

“They’re always well coached. It will be a tough matchup.”

RACING Update

Plenty of cautions at ACS

By Jacob Best

Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING – Saturday brought lots of things to the speedway for the fans, crews and drivers. High quantity of a lot of things at ACS with over 100 cars in attendance, lots of races with six A-features, a B-feature and two King of the Hills. Probably the most noticed was the high number of cautions and many races ending under the yellow flag.

Keystone Light Kompacts Joe Baker did as Team B&B has done most of the season and took home another win Saturday night.

Baker worked his way through a field of kompacts to add a trophy to his collection. A great battle went on for second as John Kinser and Bryan Vannausdle worked for every inch with Kinser nipping second, Vannausdle third, Tanner Dixon fourth and Dean Richards fifth. Another exciting finish came from Logan “Firestone” Richards as he lost a tire after taking the checkers.

Chat Mobility Hobby Stocks Jason “Fuzzy” Fusselman returned to ACS and took the trophy home. Jason held off the tough field of competitors to get the checkers on the last lap.

Kenny Champ took second, David Weeda third, Jesse Lund fourth and Jerid Lund fifth. A few cautions ended the night early for many drivers as Kiel Brittain, Jerry Richards, Derrick Dredge, Andy Davison, Greg Gilber and, in his first appearance of 2016, Joe Murphy were all unable to finish the feature.

Stalker Chevrolet B-Mods Josh Most showed again that he is one of the best drivers around as he got ahold of the lead in his B-mod and never looked back. Most knew it would be an exciting feature with more 24 cars entered and the B-mods having to run a B-feature for the first time in 2016.

Lots of talent tried to run him down as Ryan Jenkins got second, Josh Coo-

per third, Jake Hobscheidt fourth and Shawn Kralik fifth. With too many to list, the competitors in the B-mods on Saturday night were some of the most talented in the Midwest.

Brett Hopp, Josh Sink and Bobby Bopp all did not finish.

tions fueled the pro-stocks this week. Jason Rold proved to have the fastest hot rod as he was able to hold off the hard charges of Tony Hardisty, who took the second spot, and Jeremy Swanson getting third and making for an exciting ending to the feature.

Cody Clark got fourth and Kevin Sharp fifth.

Sharp proved he was no fan of cautions as he chopped off the head of a caution light on the front stretch. Although many focused on the cars of Butch Bass, David Nail Jr., Rick Bissell, Dillon Carlisle and Chris Bates, who were unable to finish the feature.

Fans are left with the suspense of this week’s

Mafia Madness has taken over at ACS these last few weeks as Jeff James took home another victory for the VanEatonville Mafia.

James was not able to get it easily, though, as the field of modifieds proved to be some contenders.

Brad Bergren ran wheel to wheel for most of the feature with James trying to get his first win of the season at ACS, but settled for the second spot. Jeff Wiggins took third, Mike Brown fourth and Keven Parman got fifth in his first return to the track after losing a motor a few weeks ago. Jesse Dennis made a lap and called it a night with mechanical issues.

O’Reilly Auto Parts

Late Models John Hampel got a win after contending with Paul Glendenning for the entirety of the feature. Both drivers proved yet again why you don’t mess with a veteran racer and never count them out – even when the feature runs late. Sterling Perkins got third after trying to run down Glendenning, Jeremy Grady fourth and Justin Zeitner fifth in his first late model race of 2016 at ACS. Late models were not without heartache as Robbie Andersen and Michah Brown were unable to finish.

King of the Hills Modified King of the Hill competitions proved to be interesting as current point leader and championship contender Dylan Book informed officials that he did not want to compete, leaving fans confused in the stands.

Jesse Dennis was also unable to compete due to his mechanical issues.

This opened the door to stand-by drivers. Thanks to drivers Keven Parman, Matt Webb, Brad Bergren

12A

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, September 6, 2016

14 games against teams under .500, including the lastplace Twins and Oakland Athletics. The first started in ominous fashion.

On Kennedy’s first pitch of the game, Dozier clubbed a solo homer into the seats in left field. In that moment, it represented Dozier’s 36th homer of the season and eighth against the Royals in 2016. He was not finished.

After the Royals scored twice in the second, taking a 2-1 lead, Dozier returned to the plate in the bottom of the third. For nine pitches, Kennedy and Dozier dueled, with Dozier fouling off five pitches as the count went to 3-2. On the 10th pitch, Kennedy left a fastball up and in.

Dozier cranked one into the upper deck for a 3-2 lead.

With his ninth homer against the Royals, he set a record for the most by an opponent against Kansas City in a single season.

The Twins would add another run in the fourth after a mental breakdown from Kennedy. With Minnesota’s Eddie Rosario on second base, Eduardo Escobar dropped down a sacrifice bunt. Salvador Perez sprang from his crouch and made an impressive play on a spinning throw. But Kennedy — and third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert — forgot to cover home. Rosario took off for the plate, and the Twins had a 4-2 lead.

From there, the Royals’ offense took over. With two on and two out in the fifth, Morales blasted a towering homer to right field off Twins starter Jose Berrios.

Hendricks, Cubs down Brewers Monday MILWAUKEE (AP) — With a short turnaround after an extra-inning game, the Chicago Cubs needed major league ERA leader Kyle Hendricks to provide a strong start Monday afternoon.

Hendricks delivered six strong innings and the Cubs broke away late to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-2. “After like really awkward games, he has really picked us up,� Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “That’s just who he is. He normally gets you deeply into the game.� “That’s who he is, man.

You pretty much have an idea what you’re going to get when he goes out there,� he said.

Pinch hitter Chris Coghlan came through with a go-ahead single in a two-run seventh. He stayed in the game and got a two-run single in a four-run eighth for the NL Central leaders.

Hendricks (14-7) gave up one run — on Chris Carter’s 33rd homer — and five hits in six innings, and left with a 2.07 ERA. He is 5-0 with a 1.30 ERA over his last seven starts.

The right-hander has allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his last 19 starts, which is the longest streak by any pitcher in the majors this season. “After that at-bat (Car-

It was 1-all in the seventh when Zach Davies (10-7) retired the first two batters. Montero then doubled and scored on the single by Coghlan, who took second on the throw.

Tommy La Stella followed with an infield single that second baseman Scooter Gennett misplayed into the outfield, allowing Coghlan to score. “If we don’t do it right out of the gate, then our belief is always that we’ll do it before it’s over,� Coghlan said. “I don’t think we ever lose that. And that’s why we’re so confident. And that’s why it’s tough to shut us out and to keep us down.�

Davies allowed two earned runs on six hits over 6 2/3 innings.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Fresh off an agonizing weekend at Kauffman Stadium, the Royals rebounded with an old-fashioned beatdown on Monday afternoon.

Kendrys Morales and Eric Hosmer each pounded three-run homers, and the offense finished with 16 hits in an 11-5 victory over the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.

On the first day of a sixgame road trip, the Royals erased a 4-2 deficit and weathered a career day from Twins second baseman Brian Dozier, who hit three homers and set a single-season record with 10 homers against Kansas City in 2016.

Dozier’s power display tested Royals starter Ian Kennedy, who allowed four runs in 5 1/3 innings. It was no match for the Kansas City offensive explosion in the late innings.

Jarrod Dyson was 3 for 5 with three runs scored. Five other players finished with at least two hits. The Royals turned the afternoon into a blowout with two runs in the seventh and four in the eighth.

Just 21 hours after a gutting 6-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium, the Royals were back on the field in Minneapolis, opening a three-game series against the Twins.

If Kansas City was going to mount a last stand in the American League wild-card race, it will have to begin on an overcast afternoon at Target Field. In the next 15 days, the Royals would play

ROBBERY: CONT. FROM | 1A

get attended to, they did get resolved, and ... there was a lot of law enforcement investigative time connecting all of these. Law enforcement put together a lot of information from a lot of helpful folks.”

According to a Creston Police report, Thornton-Culbertson, 19, of Creston was also found guilty of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance as a result of evidence discovered during the execution of a search warrant after the robbery. During the course of that investigation, officers learned of additional information which linked Thornton-Culbertson to the Oct. 21, 2015, armed robbery of Casey’s, 200 S. Elm St., which he also pleaded guilty to.

“It was just a matter of time.

We caught them off the second one (robbery). We just developed the leads from there,” said Creston Police Chief Paul Ver Meer. “I’m glad that both cases were successfully resolved and I’m proud of the effort the officers put into it

to get convictions from both cases.”

On Oct. 21, 2015, officers received an early-morning phone call in reference to an armed robbery at Casey’s, 200 S. Elm St.. The subject was described as having his face covered and a weapon at his side.

On June 3, officers received an early-morning call from a Casey’s employee saying the store was robbed at gunpoint by a male subject wearing a white mask who left in a vehicle. About an hour later, a citizen reported a vehicle matching the description was in a ditch in Adair County, and the driver was attempting to get out.

Creston Police Department K-9 Minko and officers from Creston Police Department, Union County and Adair County sheriff’s offices and Iowa State Patrol responded to the area. Martinez and Thornton-Culbertson were the only subjects in the vehicle and in their possession was a large amount of cash and

coins.

A search warrant was conducted at 316 Livingston Ave., where Martinez and Thornton-Culbertson were residing.

Officers located packaging materials, marijuana seeds and a small amount of marijuana in Martinez’s bedroom.

Also, $153 in currency was taken off his person. A safe was found in Thornton-Culbertson’s bedroom that contained controlled substances, scales, packaging material and money.

An undetermined amount of money was taken from each Casey’s.

Thornton-Culbertson and Martinez were both originally charged June 3 with first-degree robbery and controlled substance violation.

Because Thornton-Culbertson was on probation at the time of the offenses, his probation was revoked and all sentences were ordered to be served consecutively. As a result, Thornton Culbertson was sentenced to 50 years in

prison.

The case followed court proceedings Aug. 26 involving Martinez. Martinez, 20, of Creston was also found guilty of possession of a controlled substance as a result of evidence discovered during the execution of the search Martinez warrant after the robbery. As a result, Martinez was sentenced to 11 years in prison.

“We had some timely reports from some citizens that helped out and had some good law enforcement work,” Kenyon said. “All of those things came together perfectly and that’s why we were able to do this. We really couldn’t do it without the cooperating from the community and law enforcement.”
