Creston iJAG program wins state competition

ANKENY — Creston’s iJAG (Iowa Jobs for Ameri-cas Graduates) program recently won top honors at the Career Development Conference held here May 1.

Students in the program include Tiffany Scott, Taquisha Williams, Kimba Shaw, Paige O’Neall, Toni VanScoy and Samantha Reed. This group compet-ed against 40 other pro-grams across the state.

They competed in job preparedness, customer service, community ser-vice awareness, decision making, critical thinking, employee preparedness, public speaking and ban-ner presentation.

“This is the first time the program has placed first at state,” Hartman said. “I was so proud of this group. I don’t even know if our program had placed in the past, let alone first. We’ve worked with Iowa Workforce Development, which definitely helped them, and we worked hard to learn skills that busi-ness owners and human resource officers are want-ing from employees.”

Scott competed in the critical thinking compe-tition, surviving three rounds of judging to place third overall. Scott was given a situation that commonly occurs in the workplace, then had five

minute to create a three-minute speech that ad-dressed the problem and gave two solutions.

“She also had to devise a way to avoid a recur-rence of that problem,” Hartman said.

Williams competed in decision making — simi-lar to the critical thinking event — except she wrote an essay that identified a problem in the workplace and solutions.

“She represented us very well,” Hartman said.

Shaw and O’Neall both placed in the top eight in the employee prep compe-tition which simulated ap-plying for a job. They both sent in their résumé and cover letters prior to the event and were both inter-viewed at the conference.

Both placed high enough to earn points to-ward the final team score.

V a n S -coy de-livered a signature e v e n t speech at the con-f e r e n c e , w h i c h dep ic ted a fun-run through the city of Creston that high-lighted area businesses and manufacturing plants, culminating with a carni-val atmosphere job fair at McKinley Park.

Creston’s iJAG pro-gram also earned first place in the paper/fabric banner competition with a banner depicting events that occur in Creston. The banner was presented by Samantha Reed and VanScoy.

Ashley Cardenas and Samantha Ott helped de-sign and paint the banner.

United States lacks paid maternity leave GENEVA (MCT) — The

United States is the only Western country — and one of only three in the world — that does not pro-vide some kind of monetary pay-ment to new mothers who’ve tak-en maternity leave from their jobs, a new U.N. study reports.

Two other countries share the U.S. position of providing “no cash benefits during maternity leave,” according to the report, which was released Tuesday by the International Labor Organization: Oman, an absolute monarchy in the Persian Gulf; and Papua New Guinea, a South Pacific nation where the U.S. State Department says violence against women is so common that 60 percent of men in

a U.N. study acknowledged hav-ing committed a rape.

The other 182 countries sur-veyed provide either a Social Se-curity-like government payment to women who’ve recently given birth or adopted a child or require employers to continue at least a percentage of the worker’s pay. In 70 countries, paid leave is also provided for fathers, the report said, including Australia, which in-troduced 14 days of paid paternity

leave last year, and Norway, which expanded its paternity leave from 12 to 14 weeks.

The United States also provides for fewer weeks of maternity leave than what other Western coun-tries mandate, the report said.

Under U.S. law, businesses are required to allow a new mother to take as many as 12 weeks of un-paid leave. In New Zealand, the leave is 14 weeks; in Australia, it’s 18 weeks. Switzerland has allowed

women workers to take 18 weeks off since 2005; they’re paid 80 per-cent of their salaries under a gov-ernment program similar to Social Security in the United States.

Government provides the pay-ments in most the surveyed coun-tries, the International Labor Or-ganization said, with 107 nations making cash benefits available through their national social secu-rity plans. In 45 countries, the ben-efits are paid solely by employers, while in 30 countries employers and social security plans bear the costs.

The International Labor Or-ganization, which has promoted better working conditions since it became the U.N.’s first special-

ized agency in 1946, said it pre-fers leave mandates that do not saddle individual companies with the cost, saying such requirements hurt businesses and potentially lead to bias against hiring women.

Germany, Europe’s largest economy, requires that mothers receive 14 weeks leave at full pay through a combination of govern-ment and employer payments. In Great Britain, a new mother is al-lowed to take a full year off, the report said, with payments during the first six weeks totaling 90 per-cent of her salary. After that, the payments are set at the equivalent

� The U.S. is the only Western country — and one of only three in the world — that does not provide some kind of monetary payment to new mothers who’ve taken maternity leave.

EPA asked to regulate fracking’s toxic air emissions

(MCT) — Seeking to close what a lawyer called “serious gaps” in regulation, 64 environmental and community groups on Tuesday petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency to clamp down on toxic air emissions from oil and gas operations.

The 112-page petition, filed by the public interest law firm Earthjustice, asks the EPA to use its au-thority under the Clean Air Act to develop “robust emission standards” limiting the amounts of ben-zene, formaldehyde and other harmful chemicals that can be released by wells and associated equip-ment.

“Some of the documented health effects of the many types of (hazardous air pollutants) emitted during oil and gas production include increased risks of cancer, respiratory diseases, and birth defects, among others,” the petition says.

Emma Cheuse, an Earthjustice lawyer, said in a telephone interview that “people across the United States need leadership at the national level, need the EPA to act.” Most states experiencing heavy drill-ing have done a poor job of enforcing the federal clean air law, Cheuse said; the EPA needs to step in “so people won’t have to wait years and years for protection.”

The petition addresses an issue highlighted in “Big Oil, Bad Air” a project unveiled by the Center for Public Integrity, InsideClimate News and The Weather Channel in February. The series examined the air pollution impacts of the Eagle Ford Shale boom in South Texas, where nearly 9,000 oil and gas wells have been drilled in the past five years through the use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Some residents of the region have reported breathing dif-ficulties, nosebleeds, headaches, nausea and other conditions they blame on emissions from wells, stor-age tanks, gas processing plants and other facilities.

States like Texas regulate air pollution from oil and gas production activities using a patchwork of laws and rules, which, critics say, are often loosely enforced.

As of 2011, there were more than 1 million wells in the United States, “and as many as 45,000 new wells are expected to be drilled each year through 2035,” the Earthjustice petition says.

Anti-China protests grow violent in Vietnam over territory dispute

BEIJING (MCT) — Thousands of anti-China protesters ransacked, looted and set fire to foreign-run factories in southern Vietnam on Tuesday and Wednesday in a wave of violence sparked by a dispute over China’s placement of an oil rig in wa-ters claimed by both countries.

The riots marked the biggest out-burst of public unrest in tightly con-trolled Vietnam in recent years, ex-perts said. Photos on local media websites and on social media showed thousands of protesters on foot and many on motorbikes waving Viet-namese flags; some local media ac-counts put their numbers at nearly 20,000.

At least 200 companies — including many Taiwanese textile and clothing manufacturers apparently mistaken for mainland Chinese businesses — had their facilities damaged, Chen Boxiu, chief of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Ho Chi Minh City, said in a phone interview.

Singapore’s Foreign Ministry said it had summoned the Vietnamese ambassador to register its “serious concerns about the security situ-ation” and had urged the govern-ment to “act immediately to restore law and order … before the security situation worsens and investor confi-dence is undermined.”

Guo Yuting, manager of the Mira Hotel in Binh Duong City, said 240 Taiwanese citizens were taking shel-ter in his hotel, many of whom had been escorted by police from their besieged businesses. “Initially the protests were peaceful, but in the sec-ond and third waves, local mobsters joined in and things turned violent,” he said.

Protests have been building in Vietnam for days following China’s move to send a state-owned oil ex-ploration rig into disputed waters near the Paracel Islands on May 1. Vietnam has dispatched several doz-en boats in an attempt to disrupt the Chinese operations — which may in-

volve as many as 80 vessels — and the two flotillas have clashed.

China claimed last week that Viet-namese ships had rammed Chinese vessels more than 170 times and that Vietnamese “frogmen” were spotted just yards from Chinese ships. Water cannons have also been deployed.

The United States has called the Chinese move “provocative.”

“This unilateral action appears to be part of a broader pattern of Chi-nese behavior to advance its claims over disputed territory in a manner that undermines peace and stabil-ity in the region,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said last week.

Carlyle Thayer, an emeritus pro-fessor at the University of New South Wales and an expert on Vietnam’s foreign affairs, called China’s dis-patch of the oil rig “unexpected, pro-vocative and illegal.” The timing was surprising, he said, given that last fall Chinese Premier Li Keqiang visited Vietnam and the two sides signed a host of agreements aimed at putting relations on an “upward trajectory.”

Thayer said China’s actions sig-naled a more aggressive posture in disputes with its Southeast Asian neighbors.

“Up to now with China, people have used the word ‘reactive’ — it’s been responding to provocations, but this time, even the Chinese press … has not used the justification that China has been poked in the eye and is responding to something. It’s show-ing an assertiveness, it’s not reactive, and that’s worrying. Now, it seems, China doesn’t need a provocation to do something like this.”

China said it has been in contact with Vietnam over the issue through “diplomatic channels,” but so far Beijing has refused Vietnam’s offer to dispatch a special envoy to discuss the situation.

China claims most of the South China Sea as its sovereign territory, putting it in conflict with not only

Vietnam, but also Malaysia, the Phil-ippines, Taiwan and Brunei.

China maintains that the Paracel Islands, which it calls the Xisha Is-lands, are the “inherent territory” of China and that the drilling operation begun this spring is merely the con-

tinuation of 10 years of prior activity in the area. Beijing said it intends to keep the rig in the area until mid-Au-gust, when typhoon conditions will force it to be moved.

Thayer said it was likely Vietnam would continue to allow some pro-tests to continue until Beijing accepts the idea of receiving a special envoy to discuss the rig. While describing the magnitude of the protests as “un-precedented” in recent years, he said Vietnam would likely bring a halt to demonstrations if they threatened high-profile facilities such as the Chi-nese embassy or consulate.

of $232 per week or 90 per-cent of pay, whichever is less, for the next 33 weeks. The final 13 weeks of the leave are unpaid.

The report held out the prospect that the Unit-ed States might one day join the rest of the world through the proposed Family and Medical Insur-ance Leave Act of 2013 — which would establish a national paid family leave insurance program to pro-vide 12 weeks of paid leave to recover from childbirth, serious illness, care for a sick family member, or to bond with a new baby. The legislation was introduced in December by Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., and has 87 sponsors, but its prospects are uncertain in the Republican-dominated House of Representatives.

Despite what the re-port described as positive movement over the last two decades in maternity leave policies around the world, the report found that financial support pro-vided in half the countries was “neither financially adequate nor sufficiently long lasting.”

It said that 830 million

women workers “are not adequately covered in practice, mainly in devel-oping countries.”

Laura Addati, a mater-nal protection specialist for the International Labor Organization, said that 98 countries worldwide met the organization’s stan-dard of 14 weeks leave and that 74 countries met the standard of providing cash benefits of at least two-thirds of earnings during that time.

The report noted that five U.S. states mandate paid maternity leave — California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island.

It said that about 12 per-cent of women workers in the United States are en-titled to mandated paid maternity leave.

“In order to have gender equality, you must have maternity protection,” said Shauna Olney, chief of the International Labor Orga-nization’s gender, equality and diversity branch.

A Vengeful Insurance GodFISHTRAP HOLLOW, Miss.

— I had not expected to see a Mississippi spring this year. I was Out West, pretending to not miss it.

I flew home early because of a friend’s illness. I was sorry for the reason, but grateful to see this spectacular spring.

The riot of color — Granny Smith apple green, blush pink and baby teeth white — that swells to a crescendo about this time every year greeted me. As I rode be-tween the Memphis airport and my home, I was overcome, same as I am every year, by the natural beauty of home turf.

It had been dramatic and impres-sive in the shadow of Pike’s Peak, but a little gray for my April long-ings. I am a Southerner and have a need for humidity and pollen.

Less than a week after my arrival, the fickle spring weather took a deadly turn.

Tornadoes made us duck and cover. It looks as if Russell Crowe’s “Noah” was filmed in the back yard. While I toted pil-lows to the bathroom, the ark’s animals shivered around my feet. And people lost their lives and homes to the south of me.

The Weather Channel bragged just a few weeks back about the calmest tornado season in over six decades, crediting the cooler spring. I guess Mother Nature ac-

cepted the challenge. Deaths in Oklahoma and Arkansas, Missis-sippi and Alabama mounted.

Last month I was writing about the burn area on a Colorado mountain range. Spring floods were feared. Now I’m writing about tornadoes. I will be on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in time for hurricane season.

The point would be that wher-ever you go, wherever you settle, there’s really no home free. We can run but not hide. We are all at the mercy of the elements and the fates — and insurance con-glomerates with farm or state in their names. Heaven help us. I just received my home owner’s policy — “This is not a bill” — to be followed soon by a bill. This tells me what will happen in the case of natural disaster(s). If my

little house is swept to Oz, I will know what to expect, or, not to expect.

They will pay me in case of a lightning strike, but not for a flood. They will pay me if the house collapses, but not if an earthquake causes it. They will pay in case of wind and hail “un-less modified by endorsement,” whatever that means.

Should some catastrophe occur, they will pay a percentage of what my house and its contents are worth, but I will pay them in full upon receipt of the bill. But, then, everyone’s in the same ark, float-ing on flood waters and dread.

And that brings me back to the Old Testament, its vengeful God and gratuitous gore. I hated the Noah story as a child, not under-standing how everyone, especial-

ly young children and grandmoth-ers and puppy dogs could deserve to die in floodwaters. The only thing worse, I thought as a kid, was boarding a boat with snakes, crocodiles and bats.

Maybe Russell & Company got it right, and Noah’s story was a parable about ecological conse-quence and cleansing, the big in-surance mogul in the sky deciding who deserved to survive.

Beyonce’s sister Solange was caught on video

HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Johnny Manziel was photo-graphed chugging a magnum of champagne in a New York night-club at three in the morning after the Cleveland Browns drafted him. It raised one question. How many more terrible things have to happen to Cleveland before it’s downgraded from city to town?

Beyonce’s sister Solange was caught on video beating Be-yonce’s husband and rap mogul Jay-Z with her purse in a hotel el-evator Monday. It was scary. Ap-parently there’s a right way and a wrong way for a celebrity to ask an in-law if they’ve had any luck find-ing work lately.

House Speaker John Boehner addressed the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce convention in San Antonio, Texas, Monday. He was there to defend the GOP position on immigration. These Alamo re-enactment battles are getting so realistic that somebody’s going to get hurt someday.

The National Parks Service banned all drones from patrol-ling over any U.S. national park on Monday. Tourists were using drones to take photos but now no drones are allowed in America’s national parks. This’d be a really good time for Boko Haram to re-tire to Yellowstone.

President Obama drew heat Monday for refusing to iden-tify the Nigerian radical Islamist group Boko Haram as radical Islamists. He must be extra care-ful now. One slip of the tongue and President Obama will be forced to sell the Clippers before

he and Magic can even buy them.Clay Aiken’s Democratic pri-

mary opponent for a House seat, Keith Crisco, died sud-denly Monday. This followed in the footsteps of Andy Griffith. They demonstrated the best way to make Obamacare work is by doing commercials encouraging people to sign up and then dying.

A New York high-rise hosted a Hot Tub Cinema night in which residents watched Hot Tub Time Machine from hot tubs on the building roof. You can’t imagine the mess. There was a time back in the Seventies when five people could get into a hot tub without flooding the patio.

Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter was reported set to re-tireMonday, weary of challenges facing magazines today. The same day, Vanity Fair arrived in American post boxes with Monica Lewinsky’s picture on the cover. We knew the post office was slow, but this is ridiculous.

The Chicago Sun Times report-ed that Bill Clinton is considering issuing a public apology to Monica Lewinsky for the abuse she says that she’s endured since the late Nineties. What an era. Monica served with distinction in the Clinton White House as Under-Secretary of Desk.

Letters to the editor

Obey rail crossings, pleaseFrom Jamie RayCreston

I just finished reading an article in Popular Mechanics involving rail crossing accidents and the fact they are on the rise.

On April 9 at approximately 8:35 a.m., I witnessed right here in Creston, Iowa, something I found to be unbelievable as I was leaving town on a freight train. At New York Avenue, on the morning of the 9th, a white mini van speed through the crossing to “Beat the

Train,” followed by a Creston Po-lice Department vehicle. At first, while watching, I assumed the officer was in pursuit to write a ticket to the offending mini van driver. This was not the case, the officer just didn’t want to wait for a train either. Yes, to those that might be asking, all safety appli-ances were working properly. Just being ignored.

I find this very disturbing as in all the communities we pass through on the rails. Law offi-cers lie in wait for offenders and

promptly write a ticket. The fine in the state of Iowa is approxi-mately $330 for running crossing arms at rail intersections. Not nearly high enough.

One of my duties as a rail em-ployee is to report violators as I see them. This task is very difficult as it is, without having something such as this happen. If the police can do it, why can’t I?

People please use caution at rail crossings. Believe it or not, that train is not going to swerve to miss you nor will it stop on a dime.

A wonderful ideaFrom Darlene LoudonCreston

I am writing in regard to Dr. Larry Hicks letter to the editor of putting the art center at the Lin-coln School. I think that’s a won-derful idea, because there isn’t much of any other place to put it. It would be the perfect place. They could really benefit with the whole building. There is the stage to have plays on and etc. It could host sev-eral events. Maybe the admission charge would cover some costs such as water, lights, etc. Could be open during the summer months, then no heat bills. I’m sure Brian would come up with a number of things. Maybe the Library Board

could sell the Lincoln School for one dollar to the Arts Council.

Moving the library is a big issue. It seems the majority of the people in the community, wants the library to stay where its at. If it were to be voted on, it probably wouldn’t pass. It seems the funds are slow coming in. I do know if you don’t have your community and the busi-nesses behind you, it’s very diffi-cult to accomplish your goals.

It would be nice to keep the li-brary at its present location. Add on to the south of the building. There is a nice piece of ground there. Draw up some plans, sell the Omaha house, ask the donor’s next of kin if it could be changed to put that money on the present

library remodeling. Check out the contractors, get the estimates. Ev-ery contractor will have different ideas and costs. You have to shop the best deal. It’s nice to shop local, but sometimes we can’t.

My opinion is keep the library in the present location. People would probably support you because they believe in it and it’s a good, worth-while cause. Sometimes change is good, sometimes not. Creston has some great history behind it, and the present library is part of it. We need to preserve everything we have here.

The present library is like “Old Glory.” We can’t get rid of her. She needs to stay.

Creston FFA members along with adviser Kelsey Bailey, and chaperones Wayne Hanson and Cody Lamb, were among the more than 5,000 members and guests who attended the recently completed 86th an-nual State FFA Leadership Conference April 28-29 in Ames.

The Creston FFA Chap-ter’s tradition of excellence continued when it was again recognized as on of the elite programs in the state of Iowa during the 2014 State FFA Leadership Confer-ence proceedings held in Hilton Coliseum on the cam-pus of Iowa State University. The Creston FFA Chapter placed in the state’s National Chapter Award competi-tion earning a gold emblem award and recognized with the Supreme National Chap-ter award. The chapter’s ap-plication will advance to na-tional competition this fall.

Maddie Travis partici-pated in the state level ag-riculture radio broadcasting career development event earning a silver award.

A large Experience the Action team earned a silver emblem at state conference; the team consisted of: Madi-son Skarda, Savannah Hart-man, Olivia Hartman, Logan Pettit, Nicole Haley, Darin Hatfield, Chad Lamb, Dar-rian Fischer, Macy Evans, Cody Tanner, Will Gordon, Trevor Marlin, Dillon Bailey and Nick Walsh.

The agriculture marketing team – Bryce Briley, Jake Miller and Zach Hoffman – earned a silver emblem.

The farm business man-

agement team – Adam Bak-er, Zack Peppmeier, Jeremy Stoll and Jacob Powers – earned a gold rating at state.

Two freshman members, Morgan Shawler and Mattie Wheeler, earned a silver em-blem for the greenhand quiz contest.

The chapter display earned a bronze emblem. Becca Ross and Emily Grav-lin created this year’s state chapter display.

Individual FFA mem-bers were recognized and awarded for their outstand-ing leadership, SAE projects and classroom achievement.

Brooke Thelen was a can-didate for the Star Over Iowa in Agribusiness. She has an outstanding equine training and lessons business, as well as competes in many barrel racing events. Thelen also raises and exhibits cattle, all of which she documents as her SAE in her record book.

Wyatt Thompson was rec-ognized as one of six Rising Star candidates. The Rising Star is an award presented to a sophomore member who shows outstanding leader-ship and growth in the FFA.

Darin Hatfield was recog-nized as the top proficiency state winning member for his SAE in agribusiness placement. His application has been advanced to the na-tional level.

Zack Peppmeier was awarded second place pro-ficiency in diversified live-stock production.

Lane Miller received third place at state with his equine science entrepreneurship proficiency, and Brooke Thelen earned fourth place

with her equine science placement proficiency.

Four members earned the state’s academic achieve-ment award; they are: Adam Baker, Taylor Rice, Zack Peppmeier and Jeremy Stoll.

Twelve local FFA mem-bers were awarded the Iowa FFA Degree during the con-vention proceedings. This degree is the highest honor the Iowa FFA Association bestows upon its member-ship. Recipients of this hon-or must put forth great ef-fort through involvement in course work, leadership and SAE achievement. Those earning their Iowa FFA De-grees include: Bryce Briley, Ashley Harris, Savannah Hartman, Darin Hatfield, Kyle Jennett, Chad Lamb, Gavin Leith, Jake Miller, Ja-cob Powers, Madison Skar-da, Brooke Thelen and Tyler Waddingham.

More than 20 Creston FFA members participated in the Iowa FFA’s state philanthropy project while attending the convention. Meals from the Heartland set up packaging tables on the floor of Hilton Coli-seum, where thousands of FFA members packaged more than 260,000 meals to give to the food insecure. Such meals will be shipped throughout the world and domestically to aid in fight-ing the global food insecurity epidemic. The Creston FFA Chapter was assigned the duty to assist in the clean up and load out of the 260,000 meals.

“I like helping with Meals from the Heartland. It makes you feel good to know you

are helping others,” said Chad Lamb.

Other member involve-ment saw Brooke Thelen

and John Gravlin serve as state delegates voting on all official business and state officer elections. Current

President Lane Miller made the state officer ballot for the South Central State vice president.

Dear Heloise: I have been told by a friend that MICRO-WAVING FOOD depletes all the nutrients from it and makes food unhealthy. Can you please confirm if this in-formation is accurate? — A Reader, via email

Well, it actually is not accu-rate. Any cooking will remove some of the nutrients from the food being cooked, but mi-crowaving is considered one of the best cooking methods for retaining nutrients. Why? Because microwaving is fast and uses less heat and smaller amounts of liquid.

Here is an easy-to-un-derstand example: cooking vegetables in water on the stovetop. We know, for ex-ample, that cooking broccoli in water will result in most an-tioxidants being pulled out of the broccoli and into the water during the time it takes to heat up and cook completely to the desired doneness.

In the microwave, cook-ing for less time and using less water means less chance of nutrient loss, making the mi-crowave a much better cook-ing method, nutritionally. — Heloise

comBITTER BAKINGDear Heloise: I’ve been us-

ing the same cornbread recipe for years, but my last batch of cornbread had such a bitter taste that I couldn’t eat it. The only thing I had done differ-ently was use a new brand of baking powder.

I did some research and found that the culprit was sodium aluminum sulfate in the baking powder. While most people might not notice the flavor at all (my husband didn’t), others are more sensi-tive to the taste of aluminum.

Some baking-powder brands contain sodium alumi-num sulfate, and some don’t. If your baked goods have an unpleasant metallic tang, check the ingredients list on

your baking powder. I’ll defi-nitely look more closely the next time I grocery-shop. — L.R., via email

FREEZE FLOURDear Heloise: I wasn’t using

up my flour quick enough, and it would sit for months. Then, when I was ready to use the flour, it had bugs in it. I would throw it out and go buy new flour as I needed it.

Now, I freeze my flour. I put it in one plastic freezer bag, seal it and then put that in an-other plastic freezer bag and seal it again. Now when I go for my flour, it is always fresh, dry and, best of all, bug-free. — Rita R. in Pennsylvania

Just remember to warm the flour to room temperature be-fore using. — Heloise

STUCK EGGSDear Heloise: I always

check egg cartons for broken eggs in the store, but some-times there is a small crack that is not visible, causing eggs to stick in the carton. I found that pouring some lemon juice in the carton around the stuck eggs loosens them overnight. — David D. in Virginia

This is a good way to loosen them, but know that you can even use plain water and they will loosen! — Heloise

Downing lands 2014 CHS Outstanding Female Athlete awardBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

Three years ago, Creston head track coach took then freshman Chelcee Down-ing along to the Co-ed State Track Meet as an alternate for one of the Panthers’ state-qualifying relay teams.

“I took her up there as an alternate her freshman year so she could see exactly what it was like,” Arnold said. “She came back the next year and was in two (events), last year in one.”

There’s a decent chance Downing could find herself running in one or two more relays at next week’s Co-ed State Track Meet as a se-nior.

That, combined with a breakout senior campaign on the basketball court, as well as two years of playing volleyball and soccer, along with one year each of cross country and softball, has earned Downing the hon-or of being Creston High School’s 2014 Most Out-standing Female Athlete.

“She has way more acco-lades than anyone else,” Ar-nold said. “For four years, she’s been a staple in all of our sprint relays. Been a part of a lot of great team titles, conference placewin-ners.”

“All the coaches, I think, felt the same way,” Cres-ton head girls basketball coach Larry McNutt said.

“Chelcee is having a good year in track and had a good year in basketball. It was her best year in basketball. She’s kind of excelled as a senior.”Two-year starter

Downing spent two of her three years of playing basketball for McNutt as a starter on the Panther bas-ketball team, having come off the bench as a sopho-more in McNutt’s first year as coach.

As a senior, Downing av-eraged 5.9 points per game, knocking down a team-high 19 3-pointers on 27.5 per-

cent shooting from behind the arc.

She also led the team with 62 assists and finished with 27 steals.

Downing started the year off with a bang, drop-ping in 18 points with three 3-pointers in a win over Mount Ayr in the champi-onship game of the Raider-ette Tip-off Classic, earning MVP honors for the game.

Later in the season, she scored 14 points with a pair of 3-pointers in a win against Interstate 35 at Southwestern Community College.

“There was a few games in there, if she doesn’t make those shots, we don’t win those games,” McNutt said. “She did a good job. With our team, she was more of a role player and did a good job in those games. Those were shots we had to have, because we don’t have a lot of outside shooters. We needed someone to step up and make those shots.”

Downing said she spent a lot of time working on her outside shot this season.

“I think it just came with time and it finally started clicking as the season went

on,” she said. “The team really depended on me for that this season.”

In fact, her shot selection, along with her defense, were two areas McNutt felt she showed the most im-provement.

“I thought this year her defense was better than it had been,” he said. “She made a little bit more of a commitment to do that. She’s quick and she used her quickness a little bit more to her advantage. I thought the type of shots she took this year were a lot better. She kind of under-stood the shots she could make.”

Her quickness, along with her competitiveness, were two of her biggest as-sets on the basketball court.

In fact, McNutt said her quickness directly led to a win against Clarke this year.

“The one game I remem-ber was against Clarke,” he said. “The ball got loose and I think we were only up one at the time. They were going to go on a fast break, but Chelcee beat the rest of the Clarke players down the floor and protected the basket long enough for the rest of us to get back. That was a key in that game. If they score, the go ahead and I don’t know if we win that game.”

NEXT MAN INPanther boys win H-10 title without Whittington

By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

No Carson Whittington, no problem for the Creston/Orient-Macksburg boys golf team.

With the defending Class 3A individual state cham-pion leaving the golf course before competition began on Tuesday because of ill-ness, the Panthers threw the next man in into the lineup and still won a Hawkeye 10 Conference champion-ship at Majestic Hills Golf Course in Denison.

The Panthers recorded a team score of 308, finish-ing seven strokes clear of runner-up Harlan’s 315. The Cyclones had the individual conference champion in Ross Martens, who finished the day with a round of 72.

That next man in for the Panther s was junior Sam Hart-sock, who filled in admirably for Whit-t i n g t o n , l e a d i n g

the way with a fourth-place finish, shooting a round of 75.

“Without Carson Whit-tington, Sam Hartsock steps in to play,” Creston/O-M head coach Jan Lesan said. “Sam shoots a 75 to lead Creston to a win.”

Christian Groumoutis shot a 77 to finish sixth overall, while Kyle Somers carded out Hunter Sickels for eighth place, as both shot rounds of 78.

That placed four Panther golfers within the top nine of the tournament, without Whittington.

“I felt like the guys really wanted to prove how deep our team really is, and how we can win with anyone,” Sickels said. “Great motiva-tor for sectionals at Atlantic on Friday.”

Hartsock stayed calm fill-ing in for Whittington and took full advantage of the opportunity.

“We knew it would be tough without him,” Hart-sock said. “We also knew we had six guys that are capable of shooting a good score. We won, we move on. Friday is

Second-half surgePanthers beat Kuemper, 3-1

By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

For the first half here Tuesday, the Creston boys played like they were still shellshocked from Satur-day’s home tournament overtime loss to Oakland Riverside, when they led until 41 seconds remained in regulation.

Carroll Kuemper Catho-lic led the 11th-ranked Panthers 1-0 at halftime, despite the fact coach Je-sus Rodriguez saw his team control more of the posses-sions.

It was just a matter of time.

McClain Haines started a big sec-ond half for the Panthers by con-verting a p e n a l t y kick af-ter being fouled in the box, with less than two minutes expired in the sec-ond half.

At the 27:34 mark, Ben Irr sent the ball deep to forward Conner Pals, who broke through two defend-ers to knock in the tie-breaking goal.

It was Pals’ 23rd goal of the season, tying his broth-er Seth for most goals in a season by a Creston player. He now has 45 career goals — two more than Seth fin-ished with as the previous record-holder — with a full season remaining next year as a senior.

Irr capped the scoring binge with 18:47 left, taking a pass from Gavin Woods in the right corner to send a sharp-angled shot past the near post into the net for a 3-1 Panther victory.

Creston improved to 11-3 overall and 4-2 in the Hawkeye 10, while Kuem-per slipped to 3-9 and 2-4.

“We possessed the ball very well,” Rodriguez said. “At halftime I told the boys this team should not be win-ning 1-0. In the second half we had better possessions, not so much dribbling. We were working more in com-binations with each other. We were pushing better

when the de-fense tried to clear the ball. We call it win-ning the sec-ond ball.”

Haines was fouled from behind early in the second half and slammed the PK low into the net.

The second goal was a textbook Irr-to-Pals play, which has been an effec-tive combination in Cres-ton soccer for several years, dating back to all-state mid-fielder Kevin Irr and Seth Pals at forward.

“Ben put it over guys and Pals beat two guys and scored,” Rodriguez said. “We worked on that yes-terday a lot. (Trevor) Frain was doing well with that yesterday too. I’m surprised he didn’t get his goal.”

Frain almost knocked in a header in the final two minutes.

Pals said it’s satisfying to know nobody has ever scored more goals in a sea-son or in a career in a Cres-ton uniform.

CNA photo by LARRY PETERSONCreston’s Conner Pals kicks the ball past a diving Kuemper Catholic goalkeeper Josh Ahrens in the second half here Tuesday. The goal not only gave the Panthers a 2-1 lead, but tied him with his brother, Seth, for most goals in a single season with 23. Conner already has surpassed Seth for most career goals as a Panther with 45 through Tuesday’s action.

Tennis girls win at Boone; Panther boys 7th at H-10By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

The Creston/O-M boys scored 10 points to finish sev-enth in the Hawkeye 10 ten-nis tournament Tuesday, as the host Kuemper Catholic Knights edged Lewis Central for first place, 26-23.

The Creston/O-M girls, meanwhile defeated the hometown team of assistant coach Amanda Plymale, 6-3, at Boone on Tuesday.

Garret Taylor took third place in No. 1 singles for the Panther boys, finishing behind Lewis Central standout Caleb Shudak, and Shenandoah’s Philip Meier, who has split previous matches with Taylor this season.

There were no placings in the top six for the Panther doubles teams.

“I was really happy with how we played singles to-day,” Creston/O-M coach Kevin Cooper said. “Garret and Chantz Davidson pro-vided great senior leadership for us this year, and nothing changed with that today.”

Cooper said Taylor strug-gled with some inconsistency in taking third with a 2-1 re-cord, but scored six of the 10 team points.

Davidson was 4-1 in taking fifth place in No. 2 singles.

Cooper said his two dou-bles teams were able to win some games and be competi-tive, and gained valuable

Westbrook was fouled by Chris Paul while shoot-ing a 3-pointer with the Thunder trailing by two. After his free throws, Paul drove to the hoop, but Reggie Jackson stole the ball from him, and time expired.

Kevin Durant scored 10 of his 27 points in the final 3:23 for the Thunder.

Blake Griffin had 24 points and 17 re-bounds, Jamal Craw-ford scored 19 points and Paul had 17 points and 14 assists for the Clippers.

The Thunder can clinch the series Thursday in Los Angeles.Wizards roll

INDIANAPOLIS — The Wizards were tired of getting shoved around in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

So on Tuesday night, Marcin Gortat and his teammates pushed back hard.

Gortat delivered the best playoff game of his career, 31 points and 16 rebounds, and John Wall scored a playoff-best 27 points as Washington routed the Indiana Pac-ers 102-79 to cut the East-ern Conference semifinals deficit to 3-2.

The Wizards made a stunning turnaround af-ter losing three straight, two on their home court in incredibly demoraliz-ing fashion. Washington scored a franchise-low 63 points in Game 3 and then blew a 19-point, second-half lead in Game 4.Coach Stockton?

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — The Utah Jazz, as part of a broad coaching search expected to fea-ture some 20 candidates, plan to reach out to Jazz legend John Stockton to gauge whether he has any interest in the position, according to sources with knowledge of the situa-tion.

Sources told ESPN.com that Jazz officials intend to at least pose the question to the Hall of Fame guard about his willingness to move into coaching, while mindful of Stockton’s lack of previous coaching ex-perience and the fact that he has long loathed the sort of spotlight associated with the job.SVG to Detroit

DETROIT, Mich. — The Detroit Pistons have reached an agreement in principle with Stan Van Gundy to make him their new coach and president of basketball operations, according to sources with knowledge of the talks.

Sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday night that Van Gundy and the Pistons have verbally agreed to a five-year pact worth an estimated $35 million, with an official announcement expected as early as Wednesday.

experience in the conference format.

The boys are in district competition Thursday at Boone.

At Boone, the Panther girls went 4-2 in singles to nearly clinch the victory.

Although she wasn’t one of the winners, No. 1 singles player Audrey Fyock came back to win the second set 6-4 after dropping the first one by the same score, and lost the 10-5 in the tiebreaker.

“Getting four points in singles fired us up for doubles, and we quickly took the win with the team of Angie So-rensen and Alli Thomsen,” Plymale said. “This doubles team has been solid all year.”

Plymale said the meet was a good measuring stick for some postseason action com-ing up Saturday in Huxley.

“This Boone team battled with Ballard, who we play Saturday for first-round re-gionals,” Plymale said. “It will be tough competition.”

Another 1-0 win for Atlantic girls By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

ATLANTIC — For the third straight time, Atlantic girls prevailed over Creston 1-0.

Tuesday’s match was the first win of the season for the Trojans, who entered play at 0-10 overall and 0-5 in the Hawkeye 10. The Panthers fell to 1-11 and 0-6 in the conference with the loss.

Last year Atlantic beat Creston 1-0 in regular-sea-son play and matched that score in the regional tourna-ment.

Atlantic’s Sierra Smith scored the game’s only goal. Atlantic had a 25-11 advan-

tage in shots.“We played with 100 per-

cent energy and about 50 percent of our skill level,” said Creston coach Kim Lauffer, “whereas on Sat-urday I thought it was just the opposite — good skills on the field but not enough energy. We need that com-bination to both be in play for us to be successful.”

Becca Ross had 11 saves in the net for the Panthers, and Sadie Jones had four, including one on a well-placed penalty kick, Lauffer said.

Savannah Hartman led the offense with four shots on goal. It was the third straight scoreless match for Creston, which last got on

the board in a 4-3 loss to Chariton on May 5.

The Panthers host Glen-wood (5-5, 1-2) on Thurs-day.

Atlantic also won the JV contest, 3-0. Megan Wilker had three shots on goal. Alyssa Higgins and Angel-ica Claytor also had three shots. Livi Hartman had nine saves.

One of the biggest surprises of the night was Tony Klocke of South-west Val-ley in the 110 high h u r d l e s . He fin-ished sec-ond with a time of 16.69.

“ T o n y Klocke ran the high hurdles for the first time this year and put together a great time,” Southwest Valley head coach Allen Naugle said. “I am very excited to see how much he can improve on that time.”

WATERLOO — The Southwestern Community College baseball team fin-ished its season with a 6-35 record after a pair of losses

at the Region XI Tourna-ment here on Thursday and Friday.

Cards finally win in extra innings, 4-3, over Cubs By RICK HUMMELSt. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS—The St. Louis Cardinals and Chica-go Cubs weren’t exactly the best practitioners of extra-inning baseball before Tues-day night’s fray dragged deep into the night at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals, the only team in the National League not to have won in

extra time, had been 0-3 in games past nine innings and the Cubs 1-4 with their only bonus-frames win over the Cardinals here in April.

But the Cardinals finally attained a milestone of sorts. They scored their first extra-inning run of the season in the 12th inning, equating to their first extra-inning win. It came in bizarre fashion as rookie Greg Garcia was

hit with a 1-2 pitch with the bases loaded and one out to enable the Cardinals to ease past the Cubs, 4-3, in 4 hours, 39 minutes.

Track successThat quickness and com-

petitiveness directly trans-lated into her success on the track, Arnold said.

Her track career started out running mostly 100s and 200s, but has since seen her become one of Arnold’s best 400 meter runners.

“I never thought I’d be good at 400s,” Downing said. “My dad was really good at them. He went to state in them. I always t h o u g h t m a y b e t h e r e could be a chance I’d be a 400 runner, and then I got the idea in my mind that it’s just mind over matter.”

Now consistently running

splits of 1:02 for the Pan-thers on relays, Downing has come a long way since her freshman year when she hated running 400s.

“She came in and she nev-er wanted to run any 400s,” Arnold said. “Threw a fit every time as a freshman that she had to. Then the next year, in preseason prac-tice, she asked me if she was going to get to run any 400s that year. I said, ‘oh yeah!’

“This year, that’s been predominantly what she’s been doing. We needed her to run two big 400s a night. She’s really getting very strong at them and doing a good job for us.”

Thursday, at the State Qualifying Meet in Atlantic, Downing will run a pair of 400s on relays for the Pan-thers, in an attempt to make one final trip to Drake Sta-dium for the state meet.

“She knows what it takes,” Arnold said. “She’d

like to q u a l i f y in two ( e v e n t s ) a g a i n this year. C o u l d have a chance to put togeth-er some pretty salty relays if we run like we should.”

And if she gets to the state track meet, she believes she can drop her 400 time even lower.

Her two best 200 races of her career have come at the state meet, running 27.78 as a sophomore and 27.77 as a junior.

“It’s a fast track,” Down-ing said. “I always run my fastest times there. I would like to see it at a 60. I know I can do it, it’s just a matter of doing it now.”Six sports

Over the course of her ca-reer, Downing has tried her

hand at six different sports in addition to being a foot-ball cheerleader as a senior.

She played volleyball as a freshman and junior, play-ing in the back row.

She ran cross country as a sophomore, but dealt with strep throat twice during the season, limiting what she was able to do in the sport.

“I loved the team aspect of it and coach (Pat) Schla-pia was a great coach,” Downing said. “I never thought I’d be good at long distances, but I ended up lettering in it.”

As a freshman and sopho-more, she was a dual-sport athlete in the spring, run-ning track and playing soc-cer.

The conflict between the two sports became too much, however, and she gave up playing one of her favorite sports in soccer.

“I loved soccer,” she said. “If it was in a different sea-

son, I would have done it all four years. It just kind of came naturally to me. It’s very competitive and I re-ally wish it was in a different season than track, because it was one of my favorite sports.”

She also played one year of softball.

Through it all, basketball and track have remained the constants for Downing, with basketball being her favor-ite sport.

“I liked the competitive-ness,” she said. “I liked the team atmosphere, too. It’s just always been my favor-ite.”

So much so that she’s still mulling an offer to continue her playing career next year at Central College.

“It’s just about balanc-ing schoolwork and doing a sport,” said Downing, who wants to study biol-ogy before going on to study genetics. “I love the

coach and I love the team atmosphere there, because I went to a camp there this summer.”

McNutt said if she does decide to continue playing, he sees her being a good fit for the program at Central.

“Chelcee will fit in just because she’s a good kid,” he said. “She’s quick e n o u g h to help at that level. If she’ll get in the gym, put some time in and b e c o m e a little bit better shooter and ballhandler, you never know. Some-times the kids in college maybe weren’t the best kids on their high school team, but excel in college. I think maybe that could be Chelcee.”

corded a score of 80 for the Panthers, while senior Maxx Walters shot 84.

“This season is over with,” Lesan said. “Our next sea-son — the road to state — starts Friday.”Girls

Meanwhile, at Fox Run Golf Club in Council Bluffs, the Creston/O-M girls had a successful day as well, finish-ing fourth with a team score of 390.

Kuemper Catholic won with a score of 336. Creston finished just ahead of Har-lan (394) and Shenandoah (397) for fourth place.

“A fourth place team finish at the Hawkeye 10 Conference Meet is some-thing to be very proud of,” Creston/O-M assistant coach Kristopher “Kritter” Hayes said. “These girls earned their fourth place finish. The course played very difficult and putting was a challenge all day.”

Sophomore Madison Hance led the way for the Pan-thers, card-ing a score of 93 to finish 11th overall as an individ-ual.

Fellow sophomores Shelby Palser and Camryn Somers each finished the day with scores of 98. Han-nah Hagle recorded a 101 to round out the team scoring for the Panthers.

Senior Sarah Waigand shot a round of 108 for the

day.“Madison Hance found

her way around the back nine, shooting a 40, which helped our team greatly,” Hayes said. “The girls were excited about representing Creston/O-M with fourth place. They are starting to realize the potential they have and today was an ex-ample of that.”

The Panther girls play in the Class 4A Region 2 finals at Edmonson Golf Club in Oskaloosa on May 27.

“Yeah, it’s been one of my goals since I was in fifth grade,” Pals said. “Espe-cially being my brother’s (record) before, that makes it a little sweeter. Hopefully I can put another one in, but as long as we keep winning, that’s what’s important.”

Harlan, 6-5 overall and 2-2 in the league, visits Creston Monday for the regular-sea-son finale. Substate pairings should be released today or Thursday.

“Harlan will be a tough match next week,” Rodri-guez said. “They have been receiving ratings votes.”

The Panther JV suffered its second loss of the sea-son, 3-0. Caleb Cramer was goalkeeper for Creston. The Panthers had three good shots on goal in the first half, coach Lucian Diaconu said, but were unable to convert.

Selecting a WatermelonWith a thick rind covering the fruit inside, you may wonder how to choose the best watermelon at the market. Actually, it’s as easy as 1-2-3.

1Look the watermelon over.

You are looking for a fi rm, symmetrical watermelon that is free from bruises, cuts or dents.

2 Lift it up.

The watermelon should be heavy for its size. Most of the weight (92 percent, in fact) is water.

3 Turn it over.

The underside of the watermelon should have a creamy yellow spot from where it sat on the ground and ripened in the sun.
