‘THE REGIFTERS’� More than 250 tickets were sold to Crest Area Theatre’s play “The Regifters” over the weekend. Shows were Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the SWCC Performing Arts Center. The play was directed by Jerry Huffman and assisted by Kelly Franklin.

CNA photos by KYLE WILSON Left, Bridget Henshaw (Pam Hoffman) covers the eyes of her hus-band Loras (Rod Tostenson) and asks him to guess what she is wearing. Loras guesses incorrectly, then mistakenly tells her her dresses sometimes fit “too snug” during this scene from Crest Area Theatre’s play “The Regifters” Friday evening. Above, Jeff Cunningham (Ronn Vandevender), right, plugs his ears with candy canes after his mother begins telling the birds and the bees during the play held at Southwestern Community College Performing Arts Center in Creston.

Program seeks to bring doctors to rural Iowa

DES MOINES (AP) — An effort to add more doctors in rural Iowa through a state-run loan forgiveness program moved forward this year, though backers say they still need more funding.

The first group of students was awarded funding through the Rural Iowa Primary Care Loan Repayment Program this year. The eight recipients — four from the Univer-sity of Iowa and four from Des Moines Uni-versity— will each get up to $200,000 in loan aid in exchange for working for five years in small town Iowa.

Dr. Brent Hoehns, a family physician in Knoxville who is board chairman of the Iowa Academy of Family Physicians, said this kind

Peppers, winterguard first at state

DES MOINES — The Creston Peppers se-cured their sixth-straight state title in the light routine competition at the Iowa High School State Dance and Drill Team Competition Thursday and Friday at Wells Fargo Arena and Hy-Vee Hall in Des Moines.

The Peppers also placed fifth in the alter-nating performances category for their hip-hop routine. Meanwhile, the Creston Salts and Peppers coed dance took second overall.

The two teams are under the direction of Meg Haines.

Also, Creston’s winterguard performed Fri-day at the competition and placed first over-all in their class. This is the second time the program has won a state title. The other was in 2011. They are under the direction of Lisa Peters.

“I’m very proud of this group,” Peters said, “especially because we only had seven practic-es before the competition. A lot of our winter-guard is in marching band and the musical, plus we had the Thanksgiving holiday.”

S torm weakens after leaving 21 dead

SAN JUAN, Philippines (AP) — Ty-phoon Hagupit weakened into a tropi-cal storm Monday after leaving at least 21 people dead and forcing more than a million into shelters, while sparing most of a central Philippine region still reel-ing from last year’s monster Typhoon Haiyan.

Hagupit made landfall shortly before nightfall in the resort town of San Juan in Batangas province, about 100 kilome-ters (60 miles) south of Manila, the capi-tal, with maximum sustained winds of 85 kilometers (53 miles) per hour and gusts of 100 kph (62 mph). But a few hours later, Manila still was experiencing only slight winds and light rain.

Forecasters, however, said Hagupit could still generate storm surges that could overwhelm coastal villages. In the capital, police officers were asking peo-ple to stay away from a promenade be-side Manila Bay for safety reasons.

More than 2,800 villagers moved to emergency shelters in San Juan, a low-lying and flood-prone town popular for its beach resorts, including 220 peo-ple huddled inside a gymnasium as tor-rential rains pounded.

“It’s really scary if you’ve watched what happened during Haiyan,” said

of investment is needed to get doctors to underserved parts of the state. “It’s harder and harder and harder to get people to come out to the rural areas and practice,” said Hoehns.The loan aid may lure some people who were not consid-ering rural practice, as well as support students who were already leaning toward small town work, he said. The ultimate goal is to use state and private dollars to provide the loan aid to

20 students each year who commit to rural jobs, which can often pay less than oth-er physician positions. This year the state budget pro-vided $1.6 million for the program. Hoehns said his group is working to attract contributions, as well as lob-by for more state funding to fully fund the initiative, which needs $4 million an-nually to meet the 20 stu-dent target. The program, initially ap-proved by the Legislature in 2012, was first available to students this year.

Amy de Guzman, a 34-year-old mother of three who sought refuge in the gym-nasium. “I hope the storm blows away from here as far as possible.” While officials expressed relief that the typhoon had not caused major damage in Tacloban and other central cities that were devastated by Haiyan, they warned that it was still barreling across the southern tip of the main northern island of Luzon, where Manila is located. The storm was expected to blow away Tuesday into the South China Sea. Hagupit (pronounced HA’-goo-pit), which first made landfall in Eastern Samar late Saturday, was moving slowly at 10 kph (6 mph) and could dump heavy rain that could pos-sibly trigger landslides and

flash floods, according to forecasters.Many of those in eastern ar-eas who evacuated to shel-ters started to troop back home after the typhoon had blown past their provinces, Philippine Red Cross Sec-retary-General Gwendolyn Pang said. Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada said more than 5,000 residents of a shanty-town on the edge of Manila Bay have been evacuated due to possible storm surg-es. Sandbags were stacked along a portion of a seawall to prevent possible storm surges in Manila Bay from spilling into a scenic bou-levard and a tourist belt of restaurants and hotels. “We’ve prepared and trained for this,” Estrada told The Associated Press, adding that his greatest fear was widespread flooding. Metropolitan Manila has a

population of more than 12 million people. Like villagers in the cen-tral Philippines, Estrada said Manila residents were readily moving to safety be-cause of haunting memories of Haiyan. The strongest typhoon on record to hit land, Hai-yan’s tsunami-like storm surges leveled entire villag-es and left more than 7,300 people dead or missing in November last year. Hagupit left at least 21 people dead, including 16 villagers who drowned in Eastern Samar province, where the typhoon made its first landfall, accord-ing to the Philippine Red Cross. The government disaster-response agency has reported only five oth-er deaths, including three people who died of hypo-thermia, saying it was still verifying other reported ca-

sualties. Displaced villagers have been asked to return home from emergency shelters in provinces where the dan-ger posed by the typhoon had waned, including Albay province, where more than half a million people were advised to leave evacuation sites. Nearly 12,000 villagers, however, will remain in government shelters in Al-bay because their homes lie near a restive volcano.President Benigno Aquino III has decided to cancel a trip to South Korea, where he and other Southeast Asian heads of state were to attend a diplomatic summit later this week, so he can deal with storm’s aftermath. He will send two Cabinet members to represent him at the event, presiden-tial spokeswoman Abigail Valte said.

STORM:

Fuel exports soar under Obama administration GARDI SUGDUP, Pan-

ama (AP) — As the Obama administration makes head-way at home in the fight against global warming, it has helped stoke record ex-ports of fossil fuels that are contributing to rising levels of pollution elsewhere.

U.S. exports of diesel and gasoline have doubled since President Barack Obama took office, and the carbon embedded in them has meet political goals by taking it off America’s pollution balance sheet. But that does not nec-essarily help the planet.

The U.S. is sending more fuel than ever to other parts of the world, where efforts to address resulting pollu-tion are just getting under-way, if advancing at all.

Under Obama, the U.S. has reduced more carbon pollution from energy than any other nation, about 475 million tons between 2008 and 2013, according to U.S. Energy Department data. Less than one-fifth of that amount came from burning less gasoline and diesel.

Despite these efforts, pollution linked to global warming is rising world-wide.

U.S. exports of gasoline and diesel more than made up for the savings at home in pollution abroad, accord-ing to an analysis by The Associated Press. Those exports released roughly 1 billion tons of carbon pol-lution into the atmosphere elsewhere during the same period.

In Panama, imports of diesel and gasoline from the U.S. have nearly quadru-pled since 2008.

Panama is the largest re-cipient of diesel fuel dirtier and more carbon-laden than would be allowed in engines in the U.S., and the fuel is used in cars and trucks that do not have the same effi-ciency standards and are not regularly inspected and maintained, the AP’s inves-tigation found.

Panama’s requirement that drivers test emissions, including for carbon diox-ide, are almost completely ignored.

“It’s a false image,” said Onel Masardule of the Indigenous People’s Bio-cultural Climate Change Assessment Initiative, a Peru-based environmental group. “In reality, the U.S is still contaminating.”

The fossil fuel trade has soared under Obama as he has overseen a domestic boom in oil and natural gas production and ordered the biggest increases in fuel economy in history.

The boom has helped the U.S. reduce oil imports, create jobs, boost exports and shrink the trade defi-cit.

But for global warming, fuel exports mean that, at the very least, the adminis-tration is making a smaller dent than it claims.

“This is their hidden suc-cess story that they would like to keep hidden,” said Kevin Book, a Washing-

ton-based energy analyst and a member of the Na-tional Petroleum Council, a federal advisory group in the U.S.

“It has done a lot to im-prove our balance of trade standing, but it is not the most climate-friendly way to do it. There is no way to avoid that there is a bigger emissions impact when you have more to combust,” Book said.

There is no clear ac-counting of what America’s growth as a fossil-fuel pow-erhouse is doing to the glob-al-warming picture. U.S. projects that increase ener-gy exports could be consid-ered, such as huge terminals planned for the West Coast to send more coal abroad for power plants. Trade agree-ments could factor in the implications of energy trade on global warming. But no trade pacts negotiated by the White House mention it.

The White House said it is working to strengthen en-vironmental provisions in trade agreements and low-er tariffs on technologies that ultimately will reduce emissions abroad.

It also says that exports do not add more carbon to the atmosphere be-cause they replace fuel that would come from some-place else.

Other experts dispute that. They note that when energy is plentiful and rea-sonably priced, as is the case with American oil, it tends to increase demand.

Panama long been an im-portant player in the glob-al energy trade because of the Panama Canal. It soon will be a bigger conduit when a $5.2 billion, third set of locks is completed next year allowing tankers full of U.S. liquefied natural gas and, potentially, crude oil to transit. The country also is expanding trade zones which allow for duty-free imports and export of gaso-line and diesel.

Still, Panama says it con-tributes no carbon dioxide to the atmosphere because its sizable forests absorb more carbon than it releas-es from vehicle tailpipes and deforestation. Forests owned by the Guna people in the northeast parts of the country, are some of the most pristine and help Pana-ma reduce carbon pollution naturally.

Those forests are being eyed for carbon credits, a system by which countries or companies reduce their carbon footprints by paying to ensure forests are pro-tected.

The Guna are skeptical. They say forests are sacred sanctuaries that shouldn’t come with a price.

“When we speak about trees, we talk about our brothers and sisters,” said Jorge Andreve, director for Panama’s environmental agency in the Guna Yala region. “You can’t put a T-shirt with a dollar sign on a tree, when you don’t own that tree.”

Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about emergency-vehicle courtesy:

“When people don’t pull over or get out of the way of emergency vehicles, I get very frustrated. It’s so selfish! If that were the mother or child of the person in the way, I’d bet he or she would want peo-ple to move so that the loved one could get help ASAP! I am a nurse and can tell you that seconds count.” — Lisa in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Lisa, thank you for writ-ing! Seconds can truly mean life or death! It is a LAW in most states, so these “selfish” people, as you call them, are endangering someone’s life as well as breaking the law. Readers, if you can safely pull over, stop and let the emer-gency vehicle pass, DO SO! — Heloise

Absolutely! Don’t fret — it’s as simple as a look in your pantry (for olive oil) or a stop at the pharmacy to pick up “sweet oil,” which is olive oil without any scent, etc. Simply mix 2 parts sweet oil or olive oil with 1 part apple-cider vin-egar. Pour it into a spray bot-

tle and label with the contents and the date. Give the bottle a few good shakes to mix up, spray on a CLOTH — not the table directly — and make that piece of furniture shine. This polish is great for most furniture. Just DO NOT use on raw or unfinished wood. — Heloise

STUFF AND ROLLDear Heloise: I have a help-

ful hint concerning getting laundry in a two-level home to the basement. I take the pil-lowcases off my bed, fill them with dirty laundry and then put rubber bands around the tops. I roll them down two sets of stairs. It’s so much easier than carrying it down. I simply add the pillowcase in with the rest of the laundry. — Barb in Galesburg, Mich.

Historic Panther team honored at banquetBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

Coaches paid tribute to the most historic season in Cres-ton/Orient-Macksburg histo-ry Sunday night at the Pan-ther team banquet held in the high school commons.

“I don’t think people, my-self included, really under-stand the importance of the season for our community, for our football program,” head coach Brian Morrison said after the event. “What it does for us, short-term and long-term, is significant. This year really put an exclamation point on a lot of hard work the past five years.”

The fifth-year head coach guided the Panthers through a 7-2 regular season, includ-ing 5-1 as district runner-up to Dallas Center-Grimes. The team then went on a 3-1 post-season run — longest in school history — that included a 31-7 win over Greene County and 59-31 victory over Norwalk, both rematches from regu-lar-season triumphs.

Then came the wildest game in the program’s histo-ry, which propelled the Pan-thers to their first UNI-Dome appearance.

In a game that went back and forth the entire night, Creston/O-M avenged its earlier 35-14 defeat to Dallas Center-Grimes with a 50-49 overtime win on the Mus-tangs’ field in the Class 3A quarterfinal round.

A touchdown pass from all-state quarterback Alex Nielsen to McClain Haines brought the Panthers within a point at 49-48. Morrison elect-ed to go for the win on a two-point conversion. Sophomore running back Chase Shiltz, injured earlier in the game, took a pitch from Nielsen and raced to the left corner of the end zone for the winning con-version, igniting bedlam on the Panthers’ side of the field.

The team was escorted from the city limits to the high school by fire and police ve-hicles, with numerous other

vehicles waiting on the north-east corner of town for the team buses.

On the ensuing trip to the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls, students stood outside waving banners and homemade signs in an enthusiastic send-off for the semifinals, where the team fell to Sioux City Bishop Heelan, 59-14.

In so many ways, this Pan-ther team broke new ground. There are 12 additions alone just to the program’s single season leaders chart in offen-sive and defensive categories. A Creston team had never won 10 games before, nor reached the semifinal round of the playoffs.

At the banquet, Morrison spoke of this year’s 16-mem-ber senior class, many of whom were unproven in fill-ing roles held by graduated standouts from the previous year.

“If you asked any district coach on our schedule, when you lose all-state players (Trevor Frain and Nathan Haley) from a great senior class the year before, we had a lot of question marks com-ing into this season,” Morri-son said. “You define great programs by, when you lose your stat guys, which we did last year, and you reload. We did that with a great group of seniors who believed in what we were doing. Their num-ber one goal was to do great things, and they did that.”

Seniors honored from the 2014 Panther squad were Bryce Briley, Christian Grou-moutis, Jake Gutschenritter, Connor Kinkade, Sam Hart-sock, Chad Lamb, Jake Mill-er, Conner Pals, Tayler Pettit, Cory Rathe, Alex Tamerius, Jordan Thompson, Tyson Tucker, Haines, Nielsen and manager Tanner Webb.

Morrison said this year’s team, showing such elation upon winning the quarterfi-nal game at Grimes, realizes it took the program to a new level. Many former players were in attendance that night from outstanding teams that just fell short, often against a

state finalist team from Har-lan.

“These guys represented our program extremely well, they represented the former players who didn’t have the opportunity to advance as far as we did this year,” Morrison said. “They wanted to make sure they left it on the line for those guys.”

The Panthers had a record five all-staters, including Niel-sen as consensus first team all-state quarterback for both the Des Moines Register and Iowa Newspaper Association. Junior linebacker Seth Mait-len was also on the INA first team. He and Thompson (of-fensive line) were on the Reg-ister’s second team.

Named to the INA second team were Thompson at of-fensive line, sophomore run-ning back Chase Shiltz and se-nior Conner Pals as a kicker.

Twelve different players earned all-district honors, in-cluding Thompson and Niel-sen unanimously first team on offense, Shiltz at running back, Briley at wide receiver, Rathe at defensive line, Mai-tlen at linebacker and Haines at defensive back on the first unit.

Haines had nine pass inter-ceptions to become the pro-gram’s all-time single season leader. Pals is tied for third with seven this year.

Maitlen shattered the sin-gle-season tackles record with 181, topping Matt Buck and Trevor Frain’s bests of 147 and 146.

Likewise, Nielsen set the bar high as the new single season passing leader with 2,868 yards and 23 touch-downs, passing G.G. Harris from 2005 in both categories. Nielsen also had 32 combined passing and rushing touch-downs, topping Luke Neit-zel’s 28 from 2012.

Shiltz set a new mark of 30 total rushing and receiving touchdowns, and was just 10 yards shy of matching Neit-zel’s record of 1,260 rushing

Panthers roll to Mustang Invite crownBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

GRIMES — All 14 Cres-ton/Orient-Macksburg wres-tlers placed in the top six of their weight classes here Saturday, as the Panthers ran away with the team title at the DCG Mustang Invita-tional.

The Panthers scored 221 team points, pulling away from Ankeny Centennial (156), Webster City (152) and host Dallas Center-Grimes (151.5) for the team title.

“Going in, I didn’t know where we stood as a team. We came in and wrestled really well,” Creston/O-M head coach Darrell Frain said. “I learned we’ve got 14 kids that like to compete. You can always work with that. No matter if they were going for fifth and sixth or first and second, they com-peted the whole day. I felt really good about that.”

Frain said he believes it’s the first time in all the years his team has gone to the DCG Mustang Invitation-al that every wrestler has placed in the top six.

The Panthers were led by champions Joey Huntington

at 145 pounds and Tayler Pettit at 170 pounds.

“Joey came out as the No. 3 seed and the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds were both ranked,” F r a i n said. “He knocked off the No. 8 kid in Class 3A in the semis and had a good match in the semifinals.”

Huntington then won a 7-5 decision over ADM’s Logan Wendt in the championship match.

Pettit , m e a n -w h i l e , p i n n e d his way to the cham-pionship match as the top seed in the tour-nament.

“We thought he had a good chance to win it com-ing in,” Frain said. “The No. 2 guy got knocked off in the semis.”

Pettit won an 8-3 decision

over Webster City’s Antrez Conley in the championship match, after trailing going into the final period.

“He was behind 2-0 going into the third period,” Frain said. “It was a real physi-cal match. A typical Pettit match. It worked out well for him.”

The Panthers also had three wrestlers finish run-ner-up. Second-place finish-ers were Mitchel Swank at 132 pounds, Kadon Hulett at 195 pounds and Seth Maitlen at 220 pounds.

Swank avenged his loss to eighth-ranked Austin Pon-tier of Interstate 35 from ear-lier in the week by pinning the Roadrunner junior in the semifinals. Swank kept his finals match against Greene County’s Abe Yoder close until giving up points late in a 5-0 loss.

Hulett lost an 8-6 deci-sion in the finals to Dallas Center-Grimes’ fifth-ranked wrestler in Class 3A, John Ware.

“The winning takedown, he stopped at the edge of the mat and thought he heard the whistle,” Frain said. “He

Panthers smother Glenwood girls early in league victoryBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

Creston came out with an effective inside scoring attack and frustrated Glenwood’s leading scorer defensively in winning the Hawkeye 10 opener here Friday, 62-45.

The Panthers improved to 4-0 overall and 1-0 in league play, while Glenwood slipped to 2-1 and 0-1.

The Rams were coming off a 56-37 victory over Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln, when senior guard Hallie Darrow poured in 22 points.

Panther junior guard Tay-lor Briley slowed Darrow Friday, limiting her to two points as the Panthers built a 31-22 halftime lead. Darrow finished with a team-high 12 points, but only one 3-point-er.

“Coach was telling me to stay up on her, not let her shoot those threes,” said Bri-ley, who also contributed 14 points, three steals and three assists. “This is a big win for the team. It feels good.”

Coach Brent Douma said defense was the key in taking the Hawkeye 10 opener.

“Taylor did a great job,” Douma said. “You saw all the signs that she had that girl frustrated, big time. We

had that one lapse when they scored 15 points in the last six minutes of the third quarter, but that was the only part of the game where we didn’t play pretty solid defense.”

The other key was the post tandem of junior Jenna Tay-lor and sophomore Cammy Rutherford outplaying Glen-wood’s inside force, 6-foot-3 junior Danika Lucy. Taylor finished with a team-high 20 points and Rutherford grabbed three rebounds while scoring five points. Lucy, visibly fatigued during the game, finished with nine points.

“We knew that the Lucy girl could not guard Jenna, and while they have some athletes, they don’t have much size outside the Lucy girl,” said Douma, who was formerly a boys assistant coach at Glenwood and fa-miliar with the Rams’ per-

sonnel.“We knew Lucy was one

of the bigger posts we were going to see,” said Taylor, who scored 11 of her team’s

first 15 points in the game. “I wanted to go at her and attack a lot, so she’d foul me. After she kind of figured out I was doing the jump hook to the right hand, I kind of faked that way and went baseline, and it worked a couple of times.”

Natalie Mostek added 11 points and seven rebounds in a good shooting night. Bren-na Baker and Alli Thomsen combined for three of the team’s four 3-pointers.

Creston led 18-7 at the end of one quarter as Taylor hit a 15-footer and Baker canned a 3-pointer to finish the peri-od. The Panthers stretched it to a 13-point margin at 31-18 before finishing the half with a 31-22 advantage.

Glenwood used a 15-11 third quarter to cut it to 42-37 entering the fourth period.

“We finished with a 20-8 fourth quarter, and that’s

what you want,” said Dou-ma, whose team put the ball

Hall induction caps Krejci’s ‘unlikely’ SWCC careerBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]

Bill Krejci was a young assistant baseball coach at Council Bluffs Thomas Jef-ferson High School, after be-ing a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Northwest Mis-souri State.

In the summer of 1978, Southwestern Community College athletic director Ron “Fox” Clinton asked Krejci if he was interested in taking over the SWCC baseball pro-gram.

“I liked him a lot, just his approach. I liked his baseball feel,” Clinton explained.

Little did a young Bill Krej-ci realize at the time that 37 years later he’d be standing in front of Clinton in the SWCC gym, joining him in the South-western Athletic Hall of Fame.

“Fox took a chance on a young, untested coach,” Krejci said during Saturday’s induction ceremony between basketball games in the

SWCC Student Center Gym-nasium. “Fox, I’m proud to join you in the Hall of Fame.”Key colleague

Another key hire for Clin-ton a few years later was vol-leyball coach Rita Schroeder, who arrived on campus as a former SWCC athlete with no prior coaching experience. Recently, she was inducted into the NJCAA Volleyball Hall of Fame. Clinton, Krej-ci and Schroeder were the pillars of SWCC athletics for decades.

“Fox and Krejch were men-tors to me,” Schroeder said. “They definitely influenced me, and we loved this place. Still do. I always though the world of Krejci. He’s got such a big heart. So good to peo-ple. But he’s all business, too. You need people like him in athletics.”

Krejci, now living in An-keny as wife Teresa is associ-ate vice president of finance at Drake University, thanked a number of other people in his address to the crowd.

Among them were admin-istrators and faculty of the college, including Dr. Barb Crittenden, the current presi-dent; Registrar Sandy Webb,

a 40-year employee of the college; retired administrator Paul Somers; “working part-ner” Tracey Evans, who es-corted him to the induction;

and his family in attendance — Teresa, son Michael and daughter Maria.

It was part of a banner day for SWCC athletics, as the women’s basketball team gained its first victory of the season over Simpson JV, 58-55, and the 11th-ranked SWCC men rebounded from their first loss in roling past William Penn JV, 86-67. (See full details in Tuesday’s News Advertiser.)

Another SWCC alumnus, Family Shoe Store owner Steve McCann, read the in-duction presentation. Beth Kulow, SWCC dean of stu-dent services, read a passage from Thom McDonald, com-missioner of the Iowa Com-munity College Athletic Con-ference, that spoke of Krejci’s commitment to education and sportsmanship in inter-collegiate athletics.

In his acceptance speech, Krejci thanked the former SWCC athletes and coaches in attendance.

“You shared your skills,

you shared your life with me,” Krejci said, “and those are the things that I really cherish.”

He said he and Teresa are enjoying their “second life” in the Des Moines area, but his voice cracked with emotion as he spoke of his fondness for the college and the com-munity.

“Teresa loves her job at Drake University and we’re enjoying our new life,” Krej-ci said. “But know this, my love affair with you will never end. I will always be thinking about Southwestern, about the people of Creston. And I truly appreciate this honor. God bless you all.”Player returns

As the ceremony conclud-ed, Krejci was surprised by the appearance of former player Matt Thompson, who returned to campus to suc-ceed him as head coach in 1999. He now serves as a club development baseball coach

Panther boys rally for win in H-10 opener By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

GLENWOOD — Better late than never.

The Creston boys basket-ball team never led until less than 30 seconds remained on the clock here Friday in a 46-44 win over Glenwood in the Hawkeye 10 Conference opener.

The Panthers trailed 17-6 after the first quarter and 30-21 at halftime.

“As bad as we started, our defense kept us in it,” Cres-ton head coach Brett Watson said. “We started off poorly shooting. Glenwood was red hot and playing well. Give them credit. We kept hang-ing around, hanging around. We just made enough plays to pull it out.”

The Panthers trailed by five

with less than two minutes left, when senior Jay Wolfe hit an NBA-r a n g e 3-pointer to close the Panthers to within two. After a stop on the defensive end, Wolfe drove to the basket for a layup, tying the game at 44-44.

Creston came up with an-other stop on the defensive end, and attempted to hold for the final shot, but Glen-w o o d f o u l e d Sam Hart-sock with less than 30 sec-onds on the clock. Hartsock

missed the first free throw, but made the second to put the Panthers up 45-44.

Glenwood turned the ball over, throwing it out of bounds, with just :07 left in the game. Wolfe converted one of two free throws, and Glen-wood’s desperation heave at the final buzzer came up well short, as the Panthers escaped with the victory.

“We tried to mix it up as much as possible (on de-fense),” Watson said. “Tried to put a lot of pressure on the perimeter. They did a good job of handling it. We were really attacking the hoop and their two big guys got into foul trouble. That helps your defense when their main play-ers have four fouls.”

Wolfe led the Panthers, re-cording a double-double with 28 points and 12 rebounds. He shot 4-of-6 from behind the

3-point arc. Alex Nielsen was the only other Panther player to reach double figures, scor-ing 10 points on 8-of-12 shoot-ing from the free throw line.

As a team, Creston shot just 28.5 percent for the game. McClain Haines grabbed sev-en rebounds and dished out three assists.

The Panthers, now 2-0 for the season and 1-0 in con-ference play, return home Tuesday against Shenan-doah in a game that does not count in the Hawkeye 10 Conference standings. The Panthers host Atlan-tic Friday in a Hawkeye 10 Conference game, and play ADM at Wells Fargo Arena at 5 p.m. Saturday.

The Creston freshmen dropped their first game of the year Friday, 51-26 at Glenwood.

“We had a lot of missed shots in the lane and did not shoot well from the perimeter,” Creston fresh-man coach Todd Jacobson said. “We struggled against a talented group that ran a variety of defenses against us. Our execution and con-ditioning will improve as the season progresses.”

Tucker Flynn led the Panthers with eight points and eight rebounds, while Joe Eblen added six points. Evan Jacobson scored four points with four assists and three steals.

in the Houston area of Texas.Thompson shared stories

about early-morning practic-es and Krejci’s “attempt” at speaking Spanish.

“It basically was just adding an ‘el’ at the beginning of ev-erything, or ‘O’ at the end of everything,” Thompson said. “So, it was el-hit-O, el-Test-O. I’ll let you know, coach, that doesn’t work in Texas!”

But Thompson said

through all of the experiences, Krejci taught them the value of compassion, hard work, dedication and loyalty.

“I’m sure I speak for every-one when I say Bill Krejci in-spired us all to be better peo-ple,” Thompson said.

“You forever changed my life,” he said, turning to Krej-ci. “So, to you I say congratu-lations on this honor. No one is more deserving. And, wel-come to the El-SWCC-O Hall of Fame-O.”

Church donates flags for Freedom Rock site































































































































































By KYLE WILSON

By KYLE WILSON CNA managing [email protected] The Union County Freedom

Rock — being painted this week by

Ray “Bubba” Sorensen — will soon

have some company.Trinity Lutheran Church in Cres-

ton has offered to donate five, 20-foot

flag poles and all five military flags for

the Freedom Rock site at the city’s

welcome center on New York Ave-

nue. Creston City Council approved

this donation Tuesday evening.“We wanted to give back to the

community,” said Gene Cook with

Trinity Lutheran Church, “and what

better way is there than putting up the

five armed service flags and honoring

our veterans who have given us this

free country.”The church plans to pay for all costs

associated with flag pole installation.

This project also will include moving

and replanting two trees at the wel-

come center.Sorensen said this morning about

30 percent of the Freedom Rock is

painted and expects the rock to be

done by the end of the week.The church plans to order the poles

and flags immediately with hope they

can be installed before Veterans Day

(Nov. 11). Flags will include Army,

Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and

Coast Guard.Denny Abel, quartermaster for the

Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)

Post 1797, is planning a dedication

ceremony on Veterans Day at the

Freedom Rock site.“The flags will really dress up the

site,” Abel said. “We’re going to have

a dedication ceremony at the rock

on Veterans Day unless we have in-

climent weather and then it will be at

the high school gymnasium. I plan to

have everyone there whose donat-

ed money or time to the Freedom

Rock.”

�� All five military branches will be represented.

Flags to be ordered immediately with hopes of

being ready for dedication ceremony Nov. 11.

yards in 2012. Shiltz now stands second in that catego-ry, while passing Neitzel’s re-cord of 20 rushing TDs with 24 this season.

The Panthers had multiple wide receivers with high-rank-ing accomplishments in the offense directed by new coor-dinator Ryan McKim. Briley stands fourth all-time with 693 receiving yards this year on 26 catches, and is tied with Shiltz for fourth in receiving touch-downs with six. Groumoutis is fifth in receiving yards with 652 on 49 catches.

Briley led Class 3A at 26 yards per catch, and had two kickoff returns for touch-downs.

In addition, Pals kicked a 52-yard field goal in the reg-ular-season game at Greene County, ranking as the second best in school history behind’s

Kevin Downey’s 56-yarder in 1975. Pals had six field goals this season.

Morrison said the return of McKim, a 2004 CHS graduate, to the program after stints on the Iowa State and Oklahoma coaching staffs was helpful in producing such a dynamic offense, which ranked second to state champion Pella with 5,295 total yards. The Pan-thers were third behind state finalists Pella and Heelan in scoring with 477 points, aver-aging 37 points per game.

Several awards were pre-sented Sunday night, includ-ing Nielsen as offensive MVP, Maitlen as defensive MVP and a shared award as spe-cial teams MVP by Pals and Briley. Team members voted on those awards. Also Kaden Wilson was named scout team MVP.

Coaches also introduced members of the 4-5 fresh-man team and 3-4 JV squads. Three of the freshman de-

feats were by eight points or less. Both teams had contrib-utors to the varsity team as well, including lineman Trev-or Downing and slot back Mitchel Swank from the ninth grade class.

Shiltz and lineman Kadon Hulett were two-way varsity starters from the sophomore class. Cody Tanner was the starting center.

“We have a lot of kids from both (JV and freshman) groups coming back to help us, and I see no reason why we should miss a beat next year,” assistant coach Kevin Cooper said.

Morrison spoke to the number of multi-sport ath-letes in the classes. He said those not participating in the winter began the offseason weightlifting program last week.

“These (senior) guys left a great legacy,” he said, “and now we’re moving forward.”

Former Panther Maxx

Walters, a film student at De-Paul University, presented a video from preseason training that will be given to the play-ers on DVDs, and freshman coach Jon Thomson showed a video of season highlights.

Other coaches on the staff include Darrell Frain, Steve Birchard, Casey Tanner, Chad Briley and Todd Ja-cobson. Steve Wilson was an assistant working with Webb as a paraprofessional. Chris Leonard was the team trainer.

in the hands of free throw shooters Taylor and Briley down the stretch. Taylor was 4-4 at the line and Briley 4-6.

B r i l e y also led the press break and came up with some time-ly baskets in transi-tion, along with Mo-stek.

“We got that lead, then all of a sudden it’s at six, and Briley would hit that little jumper and now it’s eight,” Douma said. “That stops their momentum and gives us confidence.”

The competition level steps up this week.

“We have a tough week,” Douma said. “We go to Shenandoah Tuesday, and they are ranked sixth in Class 3A. Then to Atlantic (Fri-day). They are 4-0 and beat AL by double digits.”

The improved Trojans de-feated St. Albert Friday, 52-38, at Council Bluffs.

JUNIOR VARSITYCreston’s JV beat Glen-

wood by 22 points Friday, 44-22, and coach Ryan McKim said it easily could have been more convincing.

“Early on we were play-ing with a lack of focus, we were capable of blowing them out,” McKim said. “In our conference in JV games, we’ll have to come out and start better without so many careless turnovers. But, our effort was fantastic.”

McKim said the team’s defense was energized after halftime.

“Our man press after the half got them to turn it over,” McKim said. “Lexie Little and Becca Ross stepped up in the second half.”

Little, a sophomore guard, finished with a team-high 11 points, including a 3-pointer,

and Ross added 10 on the in-side.

Creston (44) — Lexie Lit-tle 11, Becca Ross 10, Caitlin McIlravy 9, Alli Thomsen 6, Madison Callahan 4, Jessi-ca Beatty 2, Logan Pettit 2. 3-point goals — Little 1. Free throws — 7-10.

Glenwood (22) — Emma Ringsdorf 6, Megan Miller 5, Baylee Baker 5, Ashley Moreno 3, Sidney Lucy 2. 3-point goals — Ringsdorf 1. Free throws — 7-12.FRESHMEN

Glenwood defeated the Creston freshmen Friday, 42-35. Sophia Groumoutis scored 11 points for the Pan-thers.

“We came out a little slow, got down 19 points at one point, but brought it back within three in the fourth quarter,” coach Anthony Donahoo said. “We were playing with pressure and energy and that’s what we’ll see the rest of the year.”

Creston (35) — Sophia Groumoutis 11, Bre Wallace 8, Taylor Fredrickson 8, Cay-la Maitlen 4, Chloe Hagle 4.

Other placewinners for the Panthers were Wyatt Thompson (138) and Jake Gutschenritter (285) finish-ing third, with Brody Frain (126) and Cam Leith (152) placing fourth. Kelby Luther (106), Alex Fargo (160) and Jackson Mikkelsen (182) each placed fifth, while Car-son Wheat (113) and Trevor Marlin (120) placed sixth.

The Panthers return to action at home Thursday in a double dual that will go a long way toward determin-ing the Hawkeye 10 Confer-ence champion.

The Panthers will square off with both Clarinda and Atlantic, with action begin-ning at 5:30 p.m.

My sincere appreciation to Dr. Ralston, Jake (PA), Dr. Reeves and Dr. Nowab for their outstand-ing care at GRMC. Without their exceptional care and the Grace of God, I might not have survived.

I want to thank all the nurses, physical therapy and employees for their outstanding care and con-cerns. They were the best. They were my angels.

And many thanks to my family and friends for their visits, cards, food and phone calls. God has blessed me to have so many caring people in my life. God Bless all of you.

Thank you Skip, Tammy, Joe & Holly for all the many things you have had to do.“With God, all things are possible.”

New report shows local food economy expanding AMES — Iowa’s local

food economy is growing more vigorously than ex-pected, according to a two�year evaluation from the Leopold Center for Sustain-able Agriculture. The report also shows how modest pub-lic investment in the work of local food coordinators con-tributes to job creation in the state.

Sales of local food to gro-cery stores, restaurants, residential food service op-erations, food hubs, food auc-tions and other high�volume markets rose from $8.9 mil-lion in 2012 to $13.1 million in 2013, for a total of more than $22 million over the two�year period. The report cites data showing that these larger markets are rapidly eclipsing direct�to�consumer sales at farmers markets and from Community Supported Agriculture (CSAs).

All this activity spells good economic news for rural communities and farm�based businesses in Iowa, including the creation of 171 new jobs in 2012 and 2013.

The findings are part of an evaluation of the Region-al Food Systems Working Group (RFSWG), a state-wide network that connects 15 local food coordinators working in 91 of Iowa’s 99 counties. Like last year, the coordinators recruited local food producers and buyers from their respective regions to complete a survey that measured four indicators of economic change:

• Local food sales by farm-ers, including directly to con-sumers and to institutions and other markets,

• Local food purchases by grocery stores, restaurants and buyers for institutions and other high�volume mar-kets,

• Job creation as a result of local food production, pro-cessing or utilization, and

• Funds leveraged by RFSWG groups.

“Farmers reported in-creases in their sales from 2012 to 2013, even adjusted for inflation,” said Corry Bregendahl, who coordinat-ed the data collection project for the Leopold Center with Leopold Center program assistant Arlene Enderton. “Total sales of local food, as reported by 103 farmers in 2012 and 120 farmers in 2013, nearly topped $24 million.”

Those totals offer a broad-er picture of the local food boom than that shown in data collected by the U.S. Census of Agriculture, Bregendahl said. The federal farm census tracks only sales directly to consumers such as at farm-ers markets, farm stands and CSA enterprises. Farmers are not asked to report sales to restaurants, grocery stores and other retailers, or to in-stitutions such as schools, hospitals and residential liv-ing facilities. In the 2012 U.S. Census of Agriculture, 2,954 Iowa farms reported $17.5 million in direct sales.

“Using our 2013 data, we captured 74 percent of the 2012 Census of Agriculture local food sales with only 4

percent of the sample size,” Bregendahl said. “Our data suggests that only a small portion of our farmers’ local food sales — about 5 percent — was sold directly to con-sumers. Iowa local food sales could be exceeding $300 million instead of the $17 million reported in the 2012 Census of Agriculture, if we had a better system in place for tracking sales to high�vol-ume buyers such as grocery stores, restaurants, school food service, food distribu-tors, and others.”

Food producers were asked to share information about existing jobs on their farms, as well any new jobs created as a result of local food production. Similarly, local food buyers were asked if any new jobs had been cre-ated in their businesses as a result of local food purchas-es.

In 2013, 118 new jobs were created on farms and by lo-cal food buyers. Combined with 53 new jobs reported in 2012, the two�year total is 171 new jobs, of which more than one�third are full�time. These new jobs were creat-ed on the farm, in sales and marketing, processing, distri-bution, nutrition education, horticultural education, and culinary arts, among others. When compared to other sectors, the public cost cre-ating one new full�time job in the local foods sector is low, at $15,661.

“This is a very modest public investment, especially when you look at the cost of recruiting low�paying retail jobs from outside the state,” Bregendahl said. “A wiser investment approach to cre-ating jobs in Iowa is to grow our own in the local foods sector. These local food co-ordinators are showing that they can do that.”

In addition to economic benefits and job creation, Bregendahl said coordina-tors in the RFSWG network raised more than $1.5 million during the two�year period, from government and phil-anthropic grants, donations, fundraisers and voter�ap-

proved county extension funds. A significant portion of those funds came from outside the state.

The statewide report, 2013 Economic Impacts of Io-wa’s Regional Food Systems Working Group, is available on the Leopold Center web-site at: www.leopold.iastate.edu/local�food.

Additional data and pro-files of local food champions are available from coordina-tors of nine of the 15 regional groups. Each group works with different stakeholders to build and strengthen local food systems in their region.

Members may include farm-ers, food�based businesses, nonprofits, extension, Re-source Conservation and Development organizations, educational institutions and government agencies.

South Central Iowa Area Partnership serves Appa-noose, Clarke, Decatur, Lucas, Madison, Monroe, Union, Warren and Wayne counties.

Southern Iowa Local Foods Initiative serves Adair, Adams, Clarke, De-catur, Ringgold, Taylor and Union counties.
