Creston Community Elementary School first-grade student Judah Jack smiles Thursday afternoon as he places his kindness rock near the fountain at Rainbow Park in Creston. Shari Walters’ elementary art classes have been working on the Kindness Rocks project since school began, and her students have been hiding the rocks around town this week. Community members who find the rocks are encouraged to share a photo of the rock on Twitter and tag it with #crestonelementarykindnessrockproject so the students can see who has found rocks.

Creston Community Elementary School Art Instructor Shari Walters discovered the Kindness Rocks project over the summer when a group of people started spreading the rocks throughout Creston.

Walters saw the Facebook page for the rocks and liked the idea, deciding to paint a few herself and hide around town.

Then, it dawned on her that it would be a perfect

project for her elementary art students.

“This was a project she talked to me about before we had kids in the building,” Creston Community Elementary School Principal Scott Driskell said. “Im- Driskell mediately, I knew it was a great idea.”

Creston Community School District already had river rock available, and Walters was allowed to go collect rocks from that rock pile.

Walters started the project with her students the first week of school, with her students studying Me-

The organization’s CEO, Art Silva, says leaders wanted a new location that would be more cost effective and offer a more “campus-like” setting.

About $3 million has been raised, including a $350,000 grant from Tyson Foods.

Elementary students spread kindness throughout Creston ■

A controversial photo that surfaced Wednesday morning on social media has the Creston community reeling in the aftermath.

The image pictures five Creston teenagers donning Ku Klux Klan-reminiscent hoods, holding a rifle with a scope and a Confederate flag while standing around a burning cross.

The individuals were confirmed by the Creston News Advertiser to be Creston/O-M Panther football players, and have since been dismissed from the team by head coach Brian Morrison.

“This is more important than games Friday night,” Morrison said. “This is talking to parents about, not just the right and wrong things to do but about lifelong decisions trying to be a good person.”

Media outlets from across the country have picked up the story, drawing national attention to the city and school district.

College is home to students from across the country, as well as around the world.

In recent weeks, the national and world headlines have impacted the college’s students, many of whom are new to Southwestern, new to Creston, and living away from home for the first time in their lives.

When the media headlines turned local yesterday, the college felt it was timely to touch base with students to reinforce that the college’s top priority is always their safety and well-being on- and off-campus.

An e-mail was sent to students from Beth Kulow, Southwestern’s dean of student services, to again welcome students to campus for the semester, let them know college personnel are available if they have concerns, and remind them of related college policies.

Per the Creston News Advertiser’s request, the content of the e-mail, sent Wednesday, from Kulow to Southwestern students is listed below: “In light of recent local, national, and world headlines, I thought it was a great time to touch base with you, our Southwestern students.

The school year itself is off to a great start here at SWCC and we are very glad you are a part of our student

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Asking forgiveness, peaceful resolution From Jamie and Megan Travis Creston

On behalf of the Travis Family, we sincerely apologize for the hurt and strife we have caused this community. We do not condone the behavior that was expressed in the recent photo that was disseminated throughout var-

ious media sources.

We understand that our son has conducted himself in a way that is inappropriate and has caused disruption in the community. Our son recognizes his poor judgment and respectfully asks forgiveness from his classmates, the school and the community.

The photo in no way reflects our family values. Our family

strongly believes that all individuals are created equally in God’s eyes.

We support Mr. Messerole, Mr. Morrison, the school board and other school officials as they impose the appropriate punishments on our son, including removing him from the football team.

Additionally, we support the school as they educate

our son and his classmates in helping them understand cultural diversity. As a family we have also taken measures to ensure that our son understands his actions and how they affect others.

Our goal is a peaceful resolution. We want to move forward and embrace our community in eliminating racism in Creston.

body. Unfortunately, it’s not all been good news in the media and on social media, and I know it’s sometimes hard not to dwell on these concerns.

“Because these issues have touched so many of us, it is timely to discuss the resources we have available if you ever need to talk.

Southwestern is a small intimate campus and we value and respect your opinions and are always concerned about your safety. We do not tolerate discriminatory behavior and prohibit discrimination and harassment. We are dedicated to providing a safe and healthy environment for you, our students.

“My door is always open, as well as the doors of all faculty and staff members.

We care about you, want you to feel safe, and don’t ever want you to hesitate if you need to talk.”

class and, during the second week of class, picked out words to write on the rocks. The students have been taking mini field trips this week to spread the rocks throughout the town.

“I think it’s great for kids to give kindness away and not necessarily to people they know,” Walters said. “The little ones, especially, it’s hard for them to give it away and not take it home to mom or not have Walters their mom and dad come find it. I said, ‘This is for a stranger, someone you don’t know that maybe is having a hard day.’

We’re just trying to spread as much happiness and kindness around this city as we can.”

Words written on the students’ rocks include “love,” “peace,” “you’re amazing” and “believe,” among many other inspirational or kind words and phrases.

Walters has about 420 students in her firstthrough fourth-grade art classes. Rocks have been spread throughout the city, including at Greater Regional Medical Center, Southwestern Community College and the city’s parks.

“It’s just exciting to see the faces of our elementary kids, even the kids we just walked to the football

field, you’d have thought they left the county. They were excited to do something different and now they want to see who found the rock,” Driskell said.

“The excitement it has brought the kids has been incredible,” Driskell said.

“All the credit to Mrs. Walters. She’s had some great ideas over the years and they’ve included the community. That’s important for people to see a little bit more about who we are as a school.”

Driskell noted one student he talked to Thursday couldn’t wait to get home after school to go see if his rock had been found.

Walters said she hopes her students learn a valuable lesson from participating in the project, in addition to having fun.

“I just want them to learn a little bit of compassion for people worldwide, nationwide or people in their town, not just showing love for people in their family and people they know,” Walters said.

made known his stance on the incident.

The Union County Attorney’s Office and local law enforcement are generally aware of the incident to which you refer. At this juncture, the school has considered this to be a violation of school policy. County officials have not been contacted nor requested to take any official action.

While I recognize that individuals were likely offended by the image shown in the photograph, unless or until there becomes an issue of specific conduct showing that the images were directed at individuals (or groups of individuals) for a specific purpose, criminal statutes do not apply. The photograph itself falls into the category of protected speech by virtue of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. We are continuing to monitor the situation.

While I have personal opinions as to the inappropriate nature of the image, it remains that I am professionally obligated to follow the statutes as created by the Iowa Legislature. The fact that persons are offended by the image is not, per se, a sufficient basis to initiate any criminal investigation nor any criminal charges.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: A month ago, my girlfriend and I went on a TRIP TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY, and while we had a nice time, we noticed that on the way home, both of our heads seemed to itch.

It didn’t take long to discover that we had picked up head lice!

While telling friends about our unfortunate discovery, we found out that some of them had unexpectedly taken home spiders and even a scorpion in their luggage. I used to laugh at my grandmother, who would look all over a hotel/motel room, behind the curtains, pull back the covers on the bed, etc., but now I understand why she did what she did. It never hurts to examine a room with more care. – Victor D., Hempstead, N.Y. Victor, here are some suggestions for when you travel overseas: * When you first get to a hotel, put your luggage (still packed) in the bathroom while you check your room. * Don’t forget to lift the mattress and look under there, and be sure to check for bugs, especially at the head of the bed. * Check the sheets by pulling back the bedcovers. * Place your luggage on a

luggage rack, up off the floor.

You might even want to pack those very large plastic bags and keep your luggage in those. * When you finally return home, wash all whites in hot water with half a cup of bleach. Tumble everything in a hot dryer to make sure you kill any would-be travelers. – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise. com WANT TO REDUCE STRESS? Dear Heloise: I’ve been a travel agent for nearly 20 years, and I can tell you firsthand that the benefits of travel in reducing stress and making life more exciting are huge. Many of the benefits are intangible, but still are well worth the effort to take a trip somewhere new. It’s no secret that Americans take very little time off from work when compared with other countries, such as France, Finland and Spain. Life is short, and all of us need time to relax and rejuvenate. – Helen M., Tulsa, Okla.

SUDOKU

Helen, I agree. Time away from work gives us time to enjoy new sights and sounds, to try new foods and meet new people. It can be educational and even productive.

Even if someone wants to do a few things around the home instead of traveling, it’s still time away from the everyday routine. – Heloise NEW USE FOR PAINT CHIPS Dear Heloise: My husband and I did some remodeling around our home, which included repainting. I had several paint chips from the hardware store and didn’t know what to do with them, so I used them as bookmarks for all the books I love to read. – Nancy E., Norfolk, Va. INDEX CARDS Dear Heloise: In my job, I have to make calls on clients in their homes, so I carry 4-by-6-inch index cards with me to leave messages for people to let them know I was there, and when and how to contact me. The index cards are cheap and have much more room than the back of a business card (which I also leave) so I can leave little messages. – Corrine T., Muncie, Ind.

Iowa Central sweeps Spartans

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews. com

FORT DODGE — Nationally ranked Iowa Central overcame an early challenge by Southwestern’s volleyball team Wednesday night in sweeping the Spartans, 26-24, 25-14, 25-18.

The 14th-ranked (NJCAA Division II) Tritons remained the lone unbeaten left in the ICCAC with the sweep to improve to 2-0 in league play and 9-0 overall.

Southwestern (1-1, 4-9) fought to the finish in the 26-24 opening set, spurred by a strong service game that kept the Tritons off balance in forging its attack.

“We knew Southwestern was a good team as they were coming off a win over NIACC,” Iowa Central coach Sara Horn told the Fort Dodge Messenger. “We were ready for them, but they have really good servers and we didn’t pass well that first set.”

Southwestern coach Aleesha Cleaver was encouraged by the start of her team, coming off a pair of non-conference wins Tuesday against Central College JV and Graceland University JV. “We had the momentum actually,” Cleaver said. “Then toward the end of that first set it turned the other way.

We mentally had some errors that deterred our chance in that game. But we fought really hard that game.”

The second and third sets were not as close.

Iowa Central reeled off 15 of 16 points to take a commanding 18-7 lead in the second set, including a run of nine consecutive points.

For the night, Southwestern had four aces and some effective blocks, but also committed 10 serving errors.

“Our errors hurt us,” Cleaver said. “In that last set we had errors in 16 of the 25 points.

That’s hard to rally back when you’re giving away that many points to a really good team. It was a combination of hitting, serving and communication issues.”

Tuesday sweep In action at Pella on Tuesday, on the other hand, the Spartans were clicking in all phases.

Southwestern opened with a 17-25, 25-23, 1513 win over Central JV. “We got down 13-4 in the first set and lost that one,” Cleaver said, “but then we rallied back to take sets two and three.

Our serving is kind of our go-to now. When we’re serving aggressively it takes the other teams out of their system.”

Kelcie Shields had nine digs and eight kills for the Spartans in the victory, and Jada Perkins added seven kills and seven digs. Ashley SWCC | 9A

Creston sophomore libero MaKenna Hudson lunges forward to save a short serve during the second game of Creston’s 25-23, 22-25, 25-11, 28-26 win over Southwest Valley Thursday in the Panthers’ home opener. Hudson finished with a team-high 20 digs and served 11-12 in the win.

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

The Creston volleyball team had to fight and claw for a 2523, 22-25, 25-11, 28-26 win over Southwest Valley Thursday night in the team’s home opener.

The final game was indicative of the whole night, as the two teams went back and forth with neither wanting to give an inch.

The Panthers jumped out to a 15-9 lead midway through the fourth game, but saw Southwest Valley come storming back to take leads of 23-22 and hold game point at 25-24.

MaKenna Hudson’s back row kill kept the Panthers alive in the game, but Southwest Valley had another game point at 26-25.

Creston rallied with three straight points to end the game and the match.

“That’s exactly what we want to see when we’re on the ropes like that is finish those out,” said

Creston co-coach Mallory Peterson. “We practice for situations like that where we’ve got to have defense, we have to have stops.

They didn’t make it easy on us.”

Southwest Valley head coach Lindsay Wetzel said she was glad to see her team clean up some of its unforced errors that plagued the Timberwolves in Tuesday’s loss to Mount Ayr. Fewer mistakes allowed the Timberwolves to rally in the fourth game to take the lead and hold game point, and also gave them a chance in the match by knotting the score at 1-1 with a 25-22 win in game two.

“They really fought hard. Set two, getting that win, we really needed that,” Wetzel said.

Those unforced errors caught up to the Timberwolves again in game three, however. Creston stormed to a 5-0 lead in the game, with all the points coming on unforced errors by Southwest Valley.

The lead swelled to 12 at 17-5

as Creston senior Cayla Maitlen took control of the match in game three after a lineup adjustment by the Panther coaching staff.

Maitlen finished with 20 Maitlen kills in the match, as did fellow Panther senior Breanna Wallace.

“We made some lineup adjustments (after the second game) to get a better matchup against 6 (Jentry Schafer), their big blocker,” Peterson said.

“Maitlen has a little bit more power to get through that block,” added co-coach Naomi Sharp. “It was a good change.”

Peterson and Sharp were both happy to see their team respond to the loss in game two and to Southwest Valley battling back in

JEFFERSON – The Creston girls cross country team finished with four individual medalists and placed second as a team Thursday night at Greene County’s cross country meet held at Spring Lake Park.

Denison-Schleswig won the girls team title with 24 points, placing all five scorers in the top eight. Creston finished second with 61 points, five points ahead of Winterset.

On the boys side, the Panthers finished eighth out of nine teams and were led by Clayton Stafford’s sixth-place finish.

“We ran with a purpose. This was great,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “There was some good competition.”

Brielle Baker paced the Creston girls with her second-place finish in 20:18 over the 5K course, splitting Denison-Schleswig’s one-two punch of Raegan Andersen and Ellie Mendlik. Andersen won in 19:50, while Baker held a 38-second advan- Br. Baker tage over Mendlik.

Freshman Braelyn Baker took sixth place with her time of 21:32.

“We’ve been interested to go up against Denison as a team and Denison’s top two individuals,” Schlapia said. “Braelyn keeps targeting her sister. That’s in practice and the meets. That’s some good friendly, family competition there.”

BEARCAT FOOTBALL Early impression nets Tanner scholarship at Northwest Surprise announcement made at Bearcats’ Family Day

■

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

MARYVILLE, Mo. — One second, Cody Tanner was awash in embarrassment.

The next, he was swarmed by teammates congratulating him.

The freshman walk-on center on the Northwest Missouri State University football team was finishing practice on Saturday, Aug. 26, when some odd things began to happen, in his mind.

It was Family Day in

Bearcat Stadium, so it wasn’t unusual for parents to be milling around. But, then offensive coordinator Charlie Flohr announced that Cody’s parents, Robbie and Roger, were coming down to the field early for a picture with head coach Rich Wright, because they had to leave.

The 6-foot-2, 285-pound freshman felt about 2 feet tall. He wanted to hide behind a rock.

“I thought, WHAT are they doing, and why are they doing this?” Tanner said. “Then my mom came up and said, ‘Congratulations, you got a scholarship.’ Then everybody went crazy. Coach Wright announced it to everybody and talked a little bit about it.”

Mike Cunningham, the Bearcats’ offensive line coach, said Tanner was surprised to hear he was no longer walk-on status after only a few weeks of fall practice. He had bypassed a 90 percent scholarship offer from Grand View University to join fellow Creston class of 2017 standouts Chase Shiltz and Kadon Hulett on the Bearcats team. Shiltz and Hulett signed scholarship offers.

“Coach Flohr blew his whistle and said Cody’s mom had to leave and asked her to come on down for a picture with coach Wright,” Cunningham said. “Cody was kind of hiding. He was embarrassed. Then his mom told him congratulations in TANNER | 8A

Former Panthers off to different starts in Bearcat camp

By LARRY PETERSON 6-3, 230-pound defensive CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

MARYVILLE, Mo. — Creston’s all-time leading rusher and one of the primary linemen in front of him have taken divergent paths into the beginning of their collegiate careers.

Shiltz is a 5-10, 190-pound running back on the Division II defending national champion Northwest Missouri State University foot- Shiltz ball team.

He’s off to a good start in learning the system and the “C back” position in the Bearcats backfield currently manned by senior Jordan Grove of Adel-DeSoto-Minburn.

Shiltz is the only freshman on the team at the position.

Sophomore Brody McMahon subbed in for Grove during the season-opening 34-0 rout of Emporia State.

“Jordan helps us out a lot,” Shiltz said. “I look at him more as a coach than a a teammate, when it comes to practice. He’s helped me out a lot.”

Kadon Hulett, on the other hand, has had to endure some adversity in his opening weeks in fall camp.

Very early in practice, the

lineman sustained a concussion. He’s had complications since, and just this week was scheduled to work his way back into the regular practice routine. However, headaches resulting after Sunday’s practice have led to another trip to a neurologist in Kansas City on Sept. 14.

All three former Creston/O-M Panthers — Shiltz and Hulett along with center Cody Tanner — are redshirting as freshmen and will sit out the entire 2017 season while developing their skills in the talent-rich program.

Hulett said the injury and associated complications with an eye condition have been frustrating.

“The third day I got a concussion,” Hulett said. “It was just an inside play. I was playing D-tackle, and it wasn’t even that hard of a Hulett hit. It was just headto-head with a helmet. Ever since, I’ve had headaches and I’m just now in the last stage of getting back, after three weeks.”’

As it turned out, Hulett’s problems stemmed from more than a concussion.

Palser joins SWCC staff for rebuilding season International players joins Iowans on 2017-18 golf roster

By LARRY PETERSON gets underway this weekCNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

One of Creston’s state tournament golfers from recent years has joined the Southwestern coaching staff to help head coach Doug North push the Spartan program to a new level.

Ryan Palser, 2012 graduate of Creston Community High School and a participant in the 2011 state tournament with the Panthers, Palser is North’s new assistant. Previously, North was the sole coach in the program.

Palser went on to play two years on the Kirkwood Community College golf team, which placed fourth in the nation his freshman year.

“Ryan has such an extensive golf background, bouncing ideas off him is great,” said North, a former Creston and SWCC golfer. “He’s been walking with some of the freshmen, working with them on their way of going about it and getting a pre-shot routine.

And, he’s been doing our morning strength and conditioning work, since he was studying kinesiology at Iowa State.”

Palser still plays competitive golf, placing 19th among 200 golfers in the Waterloo Open this summer by shooting 2-over par 70-76-72.

Palser said he is enjoying his first experience in coaching.

“Doug can’t be everywhere at once,” Palser said, “so I’m doing anything I can to help, whether it’s working with someone on the range or walking the course with them. I think it’s been going well so far. I definitely enjoy it.”

North and Palser have some rebuilding to do on both the men’s and women’s teams as a short fall season

end. A more extensive season, including the regional and national tournaments, takes place in the spring.

“My philosophy on fall golf is that generally the weather is nicer, so we try to get out on some nicer courses,” North said. “We play at Spirit Hollow over in Burling- North ton, which is one of the nicest courses in Iowa. We can work out the nerves a little in playing against a higher caliber of competition.”

Last spring the men placed sixth in the regional tournament, led by sophomore Avery Elliott in a tie for 10th place individually.

Returning from last year are Hamish Brown of Aukland, New Zealand and Wes Davis of Nodaway Valley.

Also, Stacy Genaille of Manitoba, Canada, competed in the fall.

An early standout in practice among the freshmen is Oliver Pearson of Melbourne, Australia.

“I would expect Oliver to compete at just about every tournament we go to,” North said. “He’s playing very well.”

The squad has an international flavor along with four Iowans.

“There are a lot of different recruiting services out there,” North said. “In one, National Scouting Report (NSR), the guy golfed at Iowa Central and went home to Australia and became a part of that group.

He is familiar with our conference and the competitive level of it and everything.

He reached out to me, and it’s been a good fit. All of the guys have gotten along well here and they are good golfers.”

In junior college golf five competitors are entered from each team, with the top four scores counting toward the team result.

Not pictured, head coach Doug North and assistant coach Ryan Palser.

Southwestern has four players on the women’s squad, so it will be able to compete as a team. Sophomores Courtney Clark of Osceola and Sydney Goltl of Omaha are joined by freshmen Hayley Osmun of Creston and Megan Fairchild of West Central Valley.

“Courtney graduates at semester, so we will be filling that slot,” North said.

“We have a player coming in from Australia at semester, and we tend to get transfers at semester if something isn’t working out for someone at another place. We hope to keep a full squad.”

North said both Goltl and Clark are capable of shooting in the high 80s and low 90s and competing for top 15 spots at most tournaments. Osmun has potential to make an impact as well.

“Hayley hits the ball a mile,” North said. “Now we’re just working on having her dial in the accuracy a little bit.”

The Spartan men open Friday at Columbus, Nebraska, with both teams participating Saturday and Sunday in the Klocke Family Classic in Marion, hosted

by Mount Mercy University.

getting a scholarship. Everybody erupted. Coach Wright talked about how he passed up an original offer (at Northwest) to take more time in making a decision. Then he gave up another scholarship chance after we didn’t have any (scholarship) money left.

He showed his loyalty to this program by coming down as a walk-on, then worked hard and showed he deserved it.”

After the Bearcats shut out Emporia State 34-0 in the season opener Aug. 31, Tanner talked about his opening weeks in the program. He is one of five offensive linemen on the team who have worked extensively at the center position. Three are upperclassmen and Tanner is one of two freshmen.

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, September 8, 2017

All three Creston freshmen are redshirting this season and will have four years of eligibility beginning in the fall of 2018.

“The offense is pretty similar,” Tanner said. “It’s just a matter of learning the different calls and stuff for the different fronts, and the new plays. I’m excited about this team and I look forward to Tanner being on the field someday.”

Tanner’s high school teammates on the Bearcats were happy for him.

Proud teammates “I was running over on the sidelines just getting some conditioning in,” said Hulett, who had to sit out several

practices with complications resulting from a concussion early in training camp. “They called Robbie down and I started getting a sniff of what was going on. Then everyone went crazy and I almost immediately got goosebumps.

I honestly almost teared up, because I knew the choice he made and the reason he made it. He wanted to be a part of the culture we have here. He ultimately came down here and I’m obviously happy he made that decision.”

Shiltz experienced similar emotions.

“I was super proud of him and super happy to hear it,” Shiltz said. “He came here with no scholarship and he earned one within the first month we were here. I think he opened a lot of people’s eyes when he got here and I still think he has a lot of potential.”

herpes on my (right) eye and cold sore lesions on my eye,” Hulett explained. “I have scar tissue on my eye and my vision has been fuzzy in that eye ever since. I think my ocular problems were keeping my (concussion) symptoms lingering. I went to Leavenworth, Kansas and got pictures of my eye and everything. Now I’m wearing a contact in that eye and trying to work on my depth perception.”

Hulett said it’s been hard to lose ground in practice after working hard to be ready at the start of fall camp.

“I worked out today and I am definitely out of shape,” Hulett said after the Bearcats’ victory last week.

One thing working in Hulett’s favor is familiarity with one of his position coaches.

Collin Bevins, former All-American defensive end for the Bearcats who was part of three national championships in his four seasons, is a student assistant coach while completing his degree at Northwest Missouri State.

He works with defensive linemen.

“It helps tremendously just having his knowledge,” Hulett said. “It helps knowing him, and the person he is.

He is always there to make yo a better player, because he wants to see the success

here continue through you.”

Hulett’s brother, Keaton, is a former teammate of Bevins on the Bearcats. During those years, Kadon would join his family at the games and coaches would talk to him.

“I remember coming down and talking to coach Wright and meeting the whole staff,” Hulett said.

“Now they are my actual coaches. It’s surreal, honestly. When I was standing on the sidelines tonight, looking up at the crowd, it made me realize that it’s no more recruiting and coming down to

see my brother. It’s actually here.”

Bevins, meanwhile, said he is enjoying the transition from player on the field to a coach for the new crop of Bearcat defensive linemen.

“It’s going well,” Bevins said. “I’m looking at being a GA (graduate assistant) next year, maybe somewhere bigger than D2, but we’ll see.

I was really impressed tonight with how our twos and threes came in and played.

To come out and shut out the No. 4 team in the nation, that’s a pretty big statement for our defense.”

game four.

“I think you practice for those situations, but it’s nice to know they can do it in game-like situations,” Sharp said. “You try to create as much pressure on them in practice to perform – set a time limit, so many points before you get out of this drill – but I think when they can actually do it in a game situation, they’re like, ‘Now we can do it.’”

The win was the first of the season for the Panthers, who started 0-2. Both Panther coaches were glad to see the support from the community Thursday night, especially after a tough week for the school district.

“Great crowd. It’s nice to see, especially this week, it’s great to see the community here and getting people out to support these girls,” Peterson said. “To be able to perform tonight given the circumstances, and the support tonight, was huge. I think things like this can help the community at this point.”

Creston travels to Shenandoah Saturday, where the Panthers will play in a pool with Fremont-Mills, Essex and Bedford, before returning home in Hawkeye 10 Conference play against Council Bluffs St. Albert.

Spartan XC hits ground running

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

Southwestern Community College’s cross country team heads into the fall 2017 season optimistic in a number of ways.

New coach Trey Bruton hit the ground running on the recruiting trail to fill out the women’s team and has a steady cast of men’s runners, several of which have notable experience, to lead the Spartans into what should be a competitive season.

New to the fold are local running talents on the men’s side in Shane Breheny, who finished third in Class 1A last year and was a member of the two-time defending state team champions in 1A from Nodaway Valley, Phoenix Shadden of Atlantic and Chance Webster of Panora.

Breheny racked up thousands of miles every summer for coach Darrell Burmeister’s Wolverines. Scadden was a strong runner for the Atlantic Trojans last fall.

Webster ran for a perennially strong team in Panorama.

Breheny’s time of 17:18 in Council Bluffs was best on the team. Webster’s was second best in 17:41. Shadden ran in 17:46.

Rounding at the runners on the men’s side were Travis Purdy, a sophomore and Creston native, Kevin Dietrich (from Port Neches, Texas) and Jalen Two Leggins

(from Crow Agency, Texas), the two of which are strong returning sophomores.

Nathan Bradley, a State Center native, Terrell Gibbs from Kimberly, Wisconsin and Quentin Anderson from Madrid round out the squad.

Whereas Bruton had plenty of men runners, he started with two runners on the women’s side. That number is officially up to five and may increase in the next few weeks.

Mostly notably, school-record holder Kimberly Zepeda is not listed on the roster and will miss an extended period of time, until cleared, as a result of an undisclosed health issue.

New on the team this year are each of the five Spartans listed as freshmen on the roster. That includes Jessica Beatty, a Creston native, who originally had intended to attend SWCC, attended Northwest Missouri State for part of the last scholastic year, and is back to run for the program this fall.

Heather Jessen, a Baxter native, Halie Dean of Sidney, BreAnn Rhodes of Grand River and Christina Stopak of Albion, Nebraska, round out the women’s side.

Stopak ran the best time for SWCC at the time trial in 22:42 for 21st place.

For much of the team, just seeing improvement and growing slowly over time is the goal. Bruton noted just as much interest in seeing

his athletes thrive outside of cross country, but still sees upside in his group.

Already, the Spartans have run at the regional time trials in Council Bluffs, though not at full strength.

Zepeda was gone as noted and Two Leggins (familial conflict) missed the team’s first action. Anderson, a freshman from Madrid, had to endure mononucleosis.

That doesn’t mean the work ethic hasn’t been there for the Spartans, even as Bruton intends to let his athletes have a fair say in their work regimen. Members of the team stayed in contact outside of the school year to discuss their training.

As the team transitions to running competitively, the training has gotten progressively more intense, but not over the top.

“I was never super high mileage,” Bruton said about his running career. “Right now we’re doing between 65 and 80 miles a week. Get too much over that, people start getting injuries.”

The Spartans take to the course today in Graceland.

Free, educational grief support group starts Sept. 14 HCI Hospice Care Services’ free, educational grief support group, “Understanding Your Grief,” starts Thursday, Sept. 14.

The group will be using material from Dr. Alan Wolfelt and the Center for Loss and Life Transition.

It will meet at Greater Regional Hospice Home, 1111 Country Club Drive, in Creston, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday for eight weeks.

Participants will receive copies of Dr. Wolfelt’s book “Understanding Your Grief” and “The Understanding Your Grief

Journal.” Groups will learn about Dr. Wolfelt’s 10 essential touchstones for finding hope and healing through loss. These touchstones include dispelling the misconceptions about grief, embracing the uniqueness of your grief and understanding the six needs of mourning.

The groups are free and open to the public, however, space is limited. Therefore, pre-registration is required and is requested

by Sept. 13. Contact HCI Hospice Care Services’ local bereavement counselor,
