The Learning Center of Southwest Iowa plans to pilot services come July.
The non-profit entity, formerly just a board of directors, procured a space at Southwestern Community College and will begin pilot servic-es to children and adolescents July 1.
“The Learning Center is a new, non-profit organization to pro-vide children who learn differently with a supplemen-tal screening and tutoring service and support to achieve academic success,” said Learning Center Board President Dick Fries. “It is our desire to partner with the school districts and AEA (area education agency) to provide services to help chil-dren with learning differences beyond the classroom.”
The organization’s reach is 35 miles beyond the Creston city limits, and will not isolate one learning disability over another.Plans laid out
The Learning Center services provide space and tutoring to children with learning differ-ences. The pilot service program will go until the end of June 2015.
“There’s always room for additional resourc-es, I believe, for families who have individuals who learn differently,” said Kathy Ralston, parent and Learning Center board member.
Ralston presented with several other board members the background and goals of The Learning Center to Creston School Board dur-ing its regularly scheduled meeting Monday.

Emily Edwards and Di Miller of Creston kickstarted Southwest Iowa Relay for Life Tuesday evening when they threw out ceremonial first pitch-es at the “Battle Against Cancer” baseball and softball games against Glenwood.

Report: Iowans pay $95 monthly for healthcare (MCT) — Iowans who signed
up for private health insurance on the marketplace paid an average of $95 per month for silver plans after tax credits — $26 more than the national average, according to a Department of Health and Hu-man Services report.
Additionally, 57 percent of mar-ketplace enrollees who were eli-gible for tax credits had premiums of $100 a month or less, and 29 per-cent had premiums of $50 a month or less after tax credits.
The report, which analyzed data
from the federally facilitated mar-ketplace during the open enroll-ment period, found that, on aver-age, monthly premiums for Iowans fell 69 percent after tax credits. This dropped the cost of the aver-age monthly premium from $350 before tax credits to $108 after tax credits across all plan types.
Nationally, those who selected plans and were eligible for tax credits had a post-tax credit pre-mium that was 76 percent less than the full premium — reducing their premium from $346 to $82 per month.
The report also highlighted the increased competition since the
start of the marketplace. Nation-wide, there were 266 issuers on the marketplace offering more than 19,000 plans across all ratings areas.
Overall, 96 percent of people eli-gible to purchase a qualified health plan could choose from two or more health insurers on the mar-ketplace, the report found.
The Department of Health and Human Services said that new is-suers represent about 26 percent of all issuers in the marketplace and Consumer Operated and Oriented Plans tended to have lower premi-
ums than other plans.Early reports from states across
the nation suggest that additional issuers will be entering the market-place in 2015.
On a conference call with report-ers, senior HHS officials said they still are collecting data from states that are not on the federal market-place.

Red Cross to celebrate lifesaving partnership with the Greenfield Community
GREENFIELD — The mission of the American Red Cross is to prevent and alleviate human suf-fering in the face of emer-gencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.
It is because of the com-mitment of people like those in Greenfield that the Red Cross can fulfill its mission. During the June 26 community blood drive, the Red Cross is celebrat-ing its lifesaving partner-ship with the Greenfield community.
We Applaud You, Greenfield! blood drive will be 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 26 at the Catholic Church fellowship hall, 303 N. Elm, Greenfield. To make an appointment, call Carol at 641-743-2948.
All presenting donors will receive a Red Cross water bottle and are invit-ed to a cake reception.
The longstanding part-nership between the Red Cross and Greenfield ben-efits both hospital patients and the community. In the past 10 years alone, 3,760
pints of blood were col-lected during Greenfield community and Nodaway Valley High School blood drives. Because a single pint may help as many as three patients, these Greenfield blood donors may have helped more than 11,000 patients. Since 2008, because of the success of Nodaway Valley High School’s blood drives, the school has earned $10,000 in Red Cross scholarships to help graduating students pursue higher education.
Additionally, the Red Cross assists the communi-ty and greater Iowa with its humanitarian services in-cluding disaster response; preparedness, health and safety training; and sup-port to members of the military and their families.
All eligible donors are encouraged to roll up a sleeve June 26 to help maintain the summer blood supply and prevent a short-age. Donors of all blood types are currently needed, especially those with types O negative, B negative and A negative blood.

“An entity like this, to me, as a new member of the community, shows a com-munity investment. It shows that leaders of the commu-nity are investing in all citi-zens,” Ralston said.
Ralston and the other present board members, including Board President Dick Fries, Board Vice President Suzanne John-ston, retired East Union teacher and guidance coun-selor Jean Sheridan and board member Dave Beck, laid out the different goals the organization had for it-self.
GoalsThe main goal of the
Learning Center is teaching children with disorders like dyslexia, forms of autism or dyscalculia how to learn.
Through nearly two years of research, looking at other national learning centers and hosting work-shops to teach different learning strategies, such as the most recent one with Chris Woodin of Landmark School in Massachusetts, The Learning Center has gathered information rel-evant to its needs.
“Our vision is that these children, their families and the schools that educate them will have access to research-based services and training which are needed to reach the potential of successful, life-long learn-ers,” Ralston said.
During the school board meeting, Ralston and the others presented statewide and local statistics to sup-
port their cause. Accord-ing to the statistics, there are large proficiency gaps in children with individual education plans, who are minorities or have free or reduced lunch.
Other statistics show 28 percent of Creston children live below the poverty level, and 16 percent of adults in Union County have a four-year college degree.
“Unfortunately, there’s a gap between our teacher training, even parent train-ing,” Suzanne Johnston said, “and understanding how to meet the needs of kids who have learning dif-ferences.”
WorkshopOne way the Learning
Center is providing resourc-es to the community is by hosting local workshops. The organization hosted a two-day math workshop at
SWCC Friday and Satur-day, with Chris Woodin as speaker.
Woodin, a specialist in mathematics and learning disabilities, showed local teachers, administrators and others how to teach children with disabilities so they retain the information and are able to learn infor-mation easier in the future. He used drawing exercises, colors, dominoes and plastic cubes as teaching materials.
BackgroundThe Learning Center is a
non-profit organization de-signed to provide children with different learning abili-ties with support needed to succeed academically.
The organization offers assessments, tutoring and parent education and sup-port. One part of the vi-sion of the center is to raise awareness of learning dis-
abilities and differences in the area.
A board of 13 members makes up the Learning Center’s central direction. The members are from lo-cal sponsors or have a con-nection to the learning com-munity.
Sponsors are Bunn-O-Matic, Iowa Works, Iowa State University-Union County Extension, Green Accounting Services, Green Hills AEA, Southern Iowa RC and D, Southern Prairie YMCA and SWCC.
To request information or volunteer, contact Ex-ecutive Director Dave Beck at Southern Iowa Resource Conservation and Develop-ment at (641) 782-7058.

The two-day workshop was hosted by The Learning Center, a non-prof-it organization dedicated to helping children with learning disabilities use different methods to learn easier.
In Tuesday’s Creston News Advertiser, the origi-nal estimate of the new bus barn was printed incorrectly. Creston School District’s new bus barn had an original estimate between $600,000 and $700,000. Insurance for the original bus barn, which was destroyed in a tornado April 2012, will pay for ap-proximately $450,000 of the total cost of the new bus barn.

HOLLYWOOD — Happy Wednesday, everybody, and God bless America.
The White House mulled the terrorist threat to Baghdad Mon-day. Everyone offered their ex-pertise. Kerry suggested collabo-ration with Iran, the Pentagon pushed Special Forces and the president suggested a few rounds of golf between the Sunnis and Shias, the winner take Iraq.
John Kerry told a climate change conference Monday the ocean is threatened by climate change, pollution and by unsus-tainable fishing practices. He’s in charge of U.S. foreign policy. All this talk about weather and he didn’t hear that the five-day fore-cast for Baghdad is two days.
Al-Qaeda’s terrorist army roiled Iraq, reviving anger at George H.W. Bush for demonizing Sad-dam Hussein in the first place. It was a mistake. George H.W. Bush periodically tries to apologize for what he did, but someone keeps strapping a parachute to him just before he jumps.
John Kerry left open the pos-sibility Monday that the U.S. may coordinate with Iran against the ISIS rebels. It’s a lovely neighbor-hood. The general rule is, if you’re forced to choose between hostage takers, go with the ones who give you bathroom breaks and don’t behead you.
The White House decided to provide Iraq with aerial overhead coverage of the terrorist army’s advance on Baghdad Sunday. The Iraqis are understandably excited. They’ve seen Skycams used in NFL games but they never thought the Super Bowl would come to Baghdad.
The U.S. Navy sent aircraft car-riers into the Persian Gulf to mon-
itor al-Qaeda of Iraq’s advance on Baghdad. We could do more. If President Obama really wants to get rid of al-Qaeda of Iraq he should declare it a conservative non-profit group and let the IRS take them out.
The World Cup drew huge crowds in Brazil as national teams battled it out on the soccer pitch. The event is an acquired taste. Most Americans would rather watch their daughters’ soccer matches than the World Cup be-cause the World Cup doesn’t offer two moms in a fist fight.
Russia’s national soccer team arrived in Brazil Monday riding a wave of nine consecutive victo-ries before Tuesday’s opener with South Korea in Group H with Bel-gium and Algeria. The Russian soccer team morale is sky high. Their motto is, if you can’t beat them, invade them.
President Obama passed his annual physical last week in the White House examination room. No president looks forward to go-ing through this. President Obama gave the White House doctor five Taliban prisoners in exchange for taking his word that his prostate’s just fine.
Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl’s fa-ther Bob Bergdahl was discovered Friday to have allegedly stalked young women in Idaho three years ago. The law defines it as a crime. Stalking is when two people go out on a long romantic stroll together and only one of them knows about it.

Stealing at cemeteries breaks trust From Joy FosterCasey
Graceland Cemetery always looks beautiful at Memorial Day. I grew up in Creston and have relatives buried at the Graceland Cemetery. Every year my fam-ily decorates those gravesites. My parents usually water our flowers and then retrieve them at the end of the decoration period because we want to care for the flowers at home or reuse the planters for the
next year.Memorial Day, originally called
Decoration Day, is a day of re-membrance. Well, we have a new memory for the holiday.
For the past three (3) years someone has stolen the live flow-ers from my dad’s, Warren Lee Case, grave. He has been deceased for 43 years. I wouldn’t think much of one year but THREE years in a row is too much, and why? I don’t understand what the world has come to when someone steals
flowers off a gravesite. Were the flowers taken to decorate someo-neelse’s gravesite or taken home to decorate their yard?
I’ve heard of stealing merchan-dise from a store, vehicles, mon-ey and a person’s trust. But why would someone steal flowers at a cemetery? These graves are sites of deceased loved ones. Does the thief think no one will know? We know! And you have not only sto-len our flowers but our trust in people.
Celebrating Flag Day From Marsha A. Wilson, United States Navy (retired)Creston
Saturday was an awful windy day, but the flags were flying in Creston. I wish I would have taken the time to get the ladies names. One of the flags on Montgomery and Maple went flying across the street. The lady in the front car just stopped got out and rescued the flag. The lady right behind realized she was too short to get the flag back in the holder, so she got out and helped.
I happened to be on Montgom-ery Street and saw these two won-derful ladies trying to get the flag back in the holder. I stopped and thanked them for doing this and then proceeded to place the flag
back.In the meantime, the three cars
that were behind these kind ladies proceeded to honk their horn for them to move on out of the street intersection. Rude, rude, rude! Those of us who have worn the uni-form and those that still do, those who have lost their life protecting our country, those of us who were held as POWs, along with every veteran in this town, say THANK YOU LADIES FOR CARING! For those of you who honked your horn, you might recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, in-divisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
And for a little extra, the Ameri-
can Creed.“I believe in the United States
of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are de-rived from the consent of the gov-erned; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sov-ereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equal-ity, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore be-lieve it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitu-tion; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all en-emies.”
Love or leave it, if you chose to leave, I will help you pack your bags.
Thank you ladies.
Letters to the editor
Writing clips for future generations As I filled up my coffee ther-
mos Tuesday morning at Adams Street Espresso, my uncle Rich Waddingham told me to wait as he rushed to the back of the store.
He came back with two pieces of paper. It was a photocopy of The Cerro Gordo Farmer of an old newspaper article.
I’ve always had an interest in collecting old newspapers. I have a copy of the Creston News Adver-tiser from the day President John F. Kennedy was shot more than 50 years ago and a copy of the edition that covered the Villisca ax mur-der.
Thinking my uncle knew about my passion for newspapers, I
thought it was just an old article he found interesting. As I started reading, it turned out to be some-thing much more valuable.
“Tenth Child Is Born to Lakers Operating 480” the headline read at the top of the page. The lede of the story was about the birth of my father, Kevin, as the newest mem-ber to Arnett Waddingham’s clan.
The article was written by John
Schwichtenberg on Nov. 23, 1959. He recently found the article and forwarded it on to my Great Aunt Helen Roth who forwarded it on to my aunts, uncles and father.
The family had recently moved to the 480-acre farm and they were completing an addition onto the house. The article quoted Carroll Peterson who was working on the house addition.
He said the Waddingham chil-dren were “just about the nicest” and best behaved he’s ever seen. It also described my grandpa’s back surgery to remove a disc and how my uncles managed the farm dur-ing his recovery.
Finding this piece of history
made my day and gave me a little extra zip — although that could have also been from the coffee — as I helped put together Tuesday’s paper.
If you haven’t noticed, we re-cently redesigned the front page of our paper, updating the masthead with a new font and eagle. We also made the weather graphic easier to read and moved the front page ad-vertisement.
Every morning we piece togeth-er your stories and design them to look as attractive as possible. We try to pump in as much local con-tent as possible and include pic-tures of local faces and events.
While I hope the articles we
write and the photos we take make an immediate impact, I also hope if someone picks up the Creston News Advertiser in 50 years it also has an impact.
Some of the stories are fun to write as we meet with great people who represent our coverage area well. Others are challenging, but are also a part of what will some-day be our history.
I hope you like the redesign. I know a lot of people here at the pa-per put a lot of thought and effort into making it look good.
I have already tucked away my copy of the new look with the rest of my collection so I can show it off years from now.
The White House mulled the terrorist threat to Baghdad
Thursday, June 19, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Be careful about wanting to get your own way. It’s easy to do. Nevertheless, you attract more flies with honey than you do with vinegar, right?
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Think twice before you make financial decisions today. It’s easy to be impulsive, plus you feel quite headstrong about something. Think before you spend your hard-earned money.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be polite today, especially with authority figures.
You are high-viz, and people will notice you, especially if you have cross words with your boss, parent or teacher. Be cool.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You are sure of something and your sense of purpose might help you succeed at research or seeking answers for prob-lems. You’re like a dog with a bone!
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Discussions with friends and people in group situations will be lively because you are con-vinced about something today. Don’t be too pushy about insisting that others agree with you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be on your best behavior when talking to authority figures today, because things could go south in a New York min-ute. Demonstrate patience and diplomacy. Don’t burn your bridges.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Avoid controversial subjects today, because people are excitable and easily argumen-tative. Forget politics, religion and racial issues; instead, dis-cuss the weather.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A fierce debate about shared property, inheritances, insur-ance matters and anything you own jointly with others might arise today. Is it really worth it? Why threaten a friendship?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be patient with sib-lings, neighbors and relatives, plus anyone in the family, because disputes can arise eas-ily. It’s not worth the bother. Do what you can to keep the peace.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19 You have strong opinions about how you want things to go at work today. Just remem-
ber that other people have strong opinions as well. Aye, there’s the rub.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Do not become embroiled in disputes about money, cash flow and possessions today. They will just be silly, and also they won’t really change any-thing. Hold your tongue.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be patient with parents and family members today, espe-cially in the morning. At least, show them the courtesy you would to a stranger. (Think
about it.)YOU BORN TODAY You
are bold and courageous. You have an uncanny ability to get the best out of others, which makes you a great director, leader, captain or team player. You are persistent, and you love a challenge. This year is a time of expansion and trying new things. You might under-go a major change; perhaps as significant as something that happened around 2005.

Dear Heloise: The other day, I saw a recipe for mak-ing pizza dough, which I love to do. It used something called “00 FLOUR.” What exactly is that, and where can I find it? My local grocery stores did not have it. — M.T. in Cali-fornia
This 00 flour is an Italian flour. The “00” is how the ground flour is classified, with the number “00” representing the finest grind. The reason this type of flour is used in piz-za dough is because of its tex-ture, which makes it very easy to work with, and because of its low gluten content. This helps make pizza crust light and soft.
If you cannot find it in your main grocery store, try a spe-cialty grocery store, or order the flour online. — Heloise
SEND A GREAT HINT TO:
HeloiseP.O. Box 795000San Antonio, TX 78279-
5000Fax: 210-HELOISEEmail: Heloise(at)Heloise.
com PEELING POTATOESDear Heloise: I read your
column every day in the (Steu-benville, Ohio) Herald-Star.
My hint came to me while I was peeling potatoes with a vegetable peeler, a chore I don’t like to do. I retrieved my apple corer/parer from the cupboard. It’s the kind you force into one end of the apple (potato, in this case) and then turn the handle and the apple (potato) is peeled. As it goes through, the core is removed.
It works great on potatoes, and an extra benefit is that the now-skinless potato is in the form of a twisty fry. I ei-ther put it in boiling water to cook for mashed potatoes, or the fry can be deep-fried for a homemade treat just like at restaurants. It’s fast, easy and quick to clean up. — Rose G. in Ohio
USE-BY DATEDear Heloise: I have always
wondered what a “use-by” date means. Does it mean the unopened product? If you open it, is it still good until that date? Mostly I wonder about things like vitamins and aspirin. — Carol M. in Texas
The products, opened or not, should still be good for use until the use-by date, or even after. The use-by date is set by the manufacturer, ac-cording to the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture. For best quality, it is the last day the manufacturer of the product recommends using it. How-ever, the USDA states that this is not a safety date. If you have stored the product prop-erly and taken care of it, then it still should be good up to and after this date. — Heloise
SQUEEZING LIMESDear Heloise: I found the
perfect kitchen tool to squeeze juice for my key lime pie: my garlic press! The small Mexi-can limes from my patio tree fit perfectly. I just halve the lime, pop it in the press and squeeze. I have a cup of juice in no time. My husband even uses this hint when making his vodka tonics. — Barbara N., via email
FROSTED BROWNIESDear Heloise: My kids have
always loved hazelnut choco-late spread. One of the ways I use it is to frost brownies. It’s delicious! — Lily W. in New York

Panther girls rally for 9-5 winBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]
It wasn’t looking good
early for the Creston soft-ball team here Tuesday night.
In a game to break a tie for third place in the Hawk-
eye 10 — both teams came in at 6-3 — Glenwood start-ed the game with three hits and a Panther error to take a 2-0 lead.
With senior pitcher Lisa Nebel pitching two shutout innings, the Rams extended their lead to 4-0 in the top of the third inning.
At that point, Creston coach Mike McCabe told his young team that a come-back was possible. At Glen-wood on June 2, the Pan-thers trailed 1-0 early in a 5-1 victory.
“I thought Lisa Nebel was really sharp for them early and they came out of the chute and popped us pretty good that first inning,” Mc-Cabe said. “I told the kids, ‘she brought her A game and we’re going to have to step it up a little.’ I told them we’ve been hitting good and we can do this.”
The Panthers struck for five runs in the bottom of the third and broke a 6-6 tie with three runs on four hits in the sixth inning in secur-ing a 9-6 victory.
Nebel had struck out the side in the second inning.
The top of the or-der caught fire with a two-out rally ignit-ed by Tay-lor Briley, who had a 4-of-4 night at the plate.Panther outburst
Pitcher Haylee LaMasters sent a rocket RBI double to left and scored from third on a wild pitch. Jami Sick-els, who finished with three RBI on three hits, tied the game with a two-run single. An overthrow on her steal of third base allowed her to score the go-ahead run for a 5-4 Panther lead.
“I thought honest to God, one of the biggest at-bats of the night, other than some clutch hits to score runs, might have been Alyssa Higgins in that five-run third,” McCabe said. “She didn’t get a hit, but she had about three or four re-ally good cuts in fouling off some pitches. I think every-body thought, OK, we can
hit this kid. Then we strung some hits together.
“I was proud of the kids for battling,” McCabe add-ed. “We might not have done that 2 1/2 weeks ago. So, I’d like to think there was growth on that side of it for us.”
LaMasters overcame the rocky start to finish with six strikeouts and two walks to pick up the victory, despite 13 base hits by the Rams. She retired seven of the last eight batters she faced, end-ing with a running catch in center field by Josie Sickels.
“We were 2-0 a lot early and it’s hard pitching to good hitters when you’re behind in the count,” Mc-Cabe said. “Then you kind of have to come over the middle of the plate. Give Glenwood credit, they came out hitting.”
It became a battle of attri-tion, as there were a total of 25 hits and six errors in the game.

Bad breaks cost Panthers in key H-10 gameBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]
The Creston Panthers just couldn’t get any breaks to go their way here Tuesday in a 3-1 Hawk-eye 10 Conference loss to Glenwood.
Senior Brandon Phipps battled for the Panthers on the mound during the team’s “Battle Against Cancer” fundraiser, throw-ing 102 pitches and allow-ing eight hits with no walks and four strikeouts.
Four of those eight hits were infield singles. An-other of those hits was a check swing that blooped a ball over Creston’s drawn-in defense with a runner at third base, allowing a run to score, making it a 2-0 Glenwood lead in the fifth inning.
“I thought most of the little baseball things went their way,” Creston head coach Steve Birchard said. “I said I think they’re go-ing to turn for us, and they didn’t. You’re just hop-ing they do turn, and they didn’t. Just didn’t get the breaks tonight.”
Glenwood took a 1-0 lead in the top of the sec-ond inning, taking advan-tage of two throwing er-rors that gave the Rams two bases. The second er-ror came with two outs, al-lowing an unearned run to score from third base.
“We had the one un-earned run that gets them on the board in the sec-ond there,” Birchard said. “Then it sort of gets them going. We just didn’t get timely hits, either. We never really mounted any-thing serious until the end there.”
The Panthers threatened in the bottom of the first inning, as Cole Crawford s t o o d on third base after hitting a d o u b l e and ad-v a n c -ing on a g r o u n d -out. But, Glenwood got out of the inning with a groundout.
Creston stranded run-ners in the first, third, fourth, fifth and seventh innings.
Glenwood added to its lead in the top of the fourth inning when Kyle Mertfeld led the inning off with a solo home run to left-center field.
The Rams caught an-other break in the fifth in-ning, when Corey Bertini’s check swing blooped a ball over the head of Kadon Hulett at first base, scoring Brady Wheeler from third.
After Wheeler led the inning off with a triple, the Panther defense was playing at the edge of the infield grass in hopes of cutting Wheeler down at home.
“You’ve got a good hit-ter up there and you get ahead of him, and you
throw another good pitch, he check swings it and still gets a hit,” Birchard said. “You’re like oh here we are, we’ve got two strikes, but no, they get a base hit out of it.”
Phipps kept the Rams off the scoreboard the remainder of the game, and then helped his own cause in the bottom of the sixth inning, ripping a two-out RBI single to left field, scoring pinch runner Gavin Woods from second base.
The Panthers had two runners on with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, but couldn’t com-plete the comeback.
“We played pretty good ball,” Birchard said. “That’s what we’re ca-pable of. I told the guys, whether they’ll be in our district, they’ll be in our substate and we’ll have to get through them one way or the other. Maybe in that third ball game, if we do see them, the breaks go our way.”
Prior to the game, as part of the “Battle Against Cancer” and fundraising efforts for Relay for Life, cancer survivor Emily Ed-wards threw out the cer-emonial first pitch.
Creston, now 6-6 overall and 5-4 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference, travels to Hawkeye 10 leader Deni-son-Schleswig (9-4, 6-1) on Thursday for a key varsity doubleheader.
It will provide the Pan-thers with a big opportu-nity to shake up the Hawk-eye 10 Conference title race.

The Numbers Game
Royals in firstDETROIT — It’s
been over a decade since the Kansas City Roy-als were in first place this late in the season.
Alex Gordon and Mike Moustakas homered as part of a seven-run second inning, and the Royals displaced the Detroit Ti-gers atop the AL Central on Tuesday night with an 11-4 victory, their ninth in a row.
Kansas City is in first place this late in the sea-son for the first time since 2003, according to STATS. The Royals were leading the division in late August that year, only to finish third at 83-79. They have not made the post-season since winning the World Series in 1985.
Kansas City has won the first two games of this four-game series emphati-cally. The Royals, who trailed the Tigers by seven games after a May 20 loss, now lead Detroit by a half-game.
Scherzer (8-3) yielded a career high-tying 10 runs in four-plus innings. The reigning American League Cy Young Award winner allowed the first eight batters of the sec-ond inning to reach base, with Kansas City scoring six runs before making an out.15 innings
OMAHA, Neb. — Daniel Pinero’s sacrifice fly scored Thomas Wood-ruff in the bottom of the 15th inning to give Vir-ginia a 3-2 victory Tues-day night in a game that matched the longest in the College World Series’ 66-year history.
Pinero fouled off two squeeze-bunt attempts against Trey Teakell be-fore he lofted a fly to cen-ter. Cody Jones’ throw toward home never had a chance. The Cavaliers’ bench and bullpen emp-tied, with everybody mob-bing Pinero near second base.
Virginia (51-14), which had a walk-off win against Mississippi on Sunday in nine innings, plays Friday in its bracket final. TCU (48-17) plays Ole Miss in an elimination game Thursday.
Artie Lewicki (8-1) got the win, and Teakell (6-1) took the loss.
It was the longest game, as measured by innings, since Southern Califor-nia beat Florida State 2-1 in 15 in the 1970 national championship game.Altidore return?
SAO PAULO, Bra-zil — U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann is confident that striker Jozy Altidore can still play a role at this World Cup despite the strained left hamstring he suffered in the first half of the Americans’ 2-1 win over Ghana on Monday night.
Altidore had an MRI on his hamstring on Tues-day, and Klinsmann said the team would watch how he responds this week.
In the first half on Mon-day, Altidore was running down a ball with Ghana’s John Boye when he low-ered his head to attempt to control it. He immedi-ately grabbed the back of his left leg and fell to the ground in pain. He was re-placed by Aron Johanns-son.

Brody Frain started on the hill, pitching 2 1/3 in-nings with three strike-outs, five walks and three earned runs. Cody Craw-ford pitched 2 2/3 innings with four strikeouts and five walks.
Frain, Deaven Reese and Dalton O’Riley each recorded a hit, while Gavin Woods finished with two hits, including a double. Frain and Crawford each drove in one run.
“Walking batters got us in trouble,” Creston JV coach Ben Landers said. “They’re a good team.
They beat us 18-3, I think, the last time. We played them a lot tougher. We have to do better throwing strikes and getting ahead of batters, and fielding more consistently.”

Briley— who was 7-of-7 for the night including the JV contest — singled and went to second on a passed ball. Nata-lie Mostek smoked an RBI double down the third base line to make it 7-6. A ground-out moved her to third, and Jami Sickels ripped a one-hop drive off the second baseman for another run. Lexie Little provided some insurance by stroking a deep double to left-center, scoring Jami Sickels, now the team’s leading hitter at .500.

LaMasters retired Glenwood on a comebacker, a strikeout and the flyout to Josie Sickels after Jordyn Hanshaw hit a two-out single.

“This was a good night for us, to move into third at 7-3,” McCabe said. “Pretty big games at Denison Thursday. They’re undefeated in the conference. It will be fun.”
The game was held in con-junction with activities lead-ing up to Friday night’s South-west Iowa Relay for Life at Panther Field, which gener-

Notice of Availability of Environmental AssessmentSouthern Iowa Rural Water Association, City of Bridgewater, City of Blockton
The USDA Rural Utilities Service has received an application for financial assistance from the Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA). As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rural Utilities Service has prepared an Environmental Assessment that evaluated the potential environmental effects and consequences of the proposed project. This notice announces the availability of the Environmental Assessment for public review and comment.
SIRWA plans construct replacement water distribution systems for the cities of Blockton and Bridgewater. There are approximately 112 water connections in Bridgewater and approximately 97 connections in Blockton.
This proposal will consist of replacing all of the existing cast iron water main and some existing PVC piping with new PVC water piping. In Bridgewater, approximately 10,400 lineal feet of 6”, 3” and 2” water main will be replaced. In Blockton, approxi-mately 15,700 lineal feet of 6”, 3” and 2” water main will be replaced. New meter pits and service lines will also be installed. A majority of the water main improvements will be directionally bored and will be primarily located in previously disturbed areas, in public right-of-way.
One acre of important farmland near Bridgewater, located outside city the limits, will be purchased and utilized for the siting of a 50,000 gallon elevated water storage tank that will be 135’ tall. A one acre site in the city limits of Blockton will be pur-chased for a 50,000 gallon water tower that will be approximately 100’ tall.
The following environmental mitigation measures are required of proposed project:r Compliance with conditions contained in the IDNR Construction Permit to be
completed.r Compliance with conditions contained in the Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan to be completed.r Demolition of water towers will occur per the requirements in the proposal’s
plans and specifications provided by the project engineer. The applicant will comply with IDNR review / directive from the submitted Notification of Demolition and Renovation Form (DNR 542-1476)
r No trees will be removed between the period of April 1 to September 30 to protect the Indiana and Northern Long-Eared Bats and their habitat.
r The Preliminary Notice of Potential Conversion of Important Farmland was published May 19,20,&21, 2014 in the Creston News Advertiser providing a separate 30 day comment period on the conversion of one acre of important farmland near Bridgewater for the siting of a new water tower. All comments received will be con-sidered and evaluated in the environmental review process prior to publishing the final environmental public notice.

Panther freshmen improve in league defeats
Creston dropped three conference doubleheaders in freshman baseball action during the past six days, but two of the losses were by one run.
Glenwood took victories of 9-5 and 7-6 on Thursday.
Dustin Merritt and Cody Wagner shared the pitch-ing duties in the opener. In three innings, Merritt al-lowed three runs with no walks and three strikeouts. Kelby Luther hit a double for one of six Panther hits.
Tucker Flynn pitched three innings in the second game with six strikeouts, one walk and five runs al-lowed. Cole Higgins pitched an inning with three walks and two runs allowed.
Clayton Davis and Trevor Marlin each had two hits for the Panthers, and Flynn hit a triple.
“This was a game where I thought we showed tremen-dous improvement,” coach Anthony Donahoo said. “Our bats were going and the boys were having fun. The first game we led the entire way and lost it at the end. We came back to tie the second gave after being down 5-1.
Creston stayed on the road for a pair of 14-5 de-feats at Carroll Kuemper Catholic Friday.
Higgins and Flynn each pitched two innings of the opener. Higgins had two strikeouts and no walks while yielding five runs. Cory Marquardt was 2-of-2 with a double for the Pan-thers.
Wagner, Marquardt and
Kelby Luther each pitched an inning of game two. Wag-ner hit a double and triple, Marquardt had a double and Davis rapped two singles.
“Kuemper had a really good squad that gook ad-vantage of some hot bats,” Donahoo said. “We showed some individual improve-ment. Clayton Davis and Cory Marquardt have taken giant leaps forward from where they started.”
Atlantic won a pair of games Monday, 6-5 and 10-2.
Merritt had a strong out-ing on the mound in the opener with 10 strikeouts in four innings, along with three walks. Higgins hit three singles. Flynn had a double and single.
Flynn pitched three in-nings of relief for Marquardt and Higgins in the second game, ending with six strike-outs and one walk with no runs allowed. Dylan Linch was 2-of-2 at the plate and Kelby Luther reached base twice on walks.
“Our boys battled all the way,” Donahoo said. “to Atlantic’s credit they played very good defense and took advantage of our young catchers. Dustin was throw-ing lights out and it was fair-ly hard for our new catchers to track the ball, which ad-vanced some runners. We’ll be improved the next time we see them.”
Creston (0-8) hosted Win-terset in a 10 a.m. double-header today before two more home games Friday in a rematch with Kuemper Catholic.

Taylor County achieves Skilled Iowa Community designation
DES MOINES – Accord-ing to Iowa Workforce De-velopment Director Teresa Wahlert, Taylor County has achieved the Skilled Iowa Community status by meet-ing all of the metrics for both business commitment and workforce certification.
“Through Skilled Iowa, we are preparing workers of all ages and skill levels to fill open positions,” Wahlert said. “Participation at the community level from local workers, businesses, elected officials and educational institutions will benefit the state as a whole.”
The Skilled Iowa Com-munity announcement took place on Monday in Lenox.
Achieving the Skilled Iowa Community designa-tion takes dedication and commitment from com-munity leaders. The dedi-cation and commitment to the initiative from Bedford Community Schools, Lenox Community Schools, Mi-chael Foods Egg Products Company, Pursuit of Inde-pendence and Lenox Cham-ber of Commerce has driven the county’s success.
The Skilled Iowa Ini-
tiative helps develop the workforce by encouraging workers to earn the Nation-al Career Readiness Cer-tificate (NCRC). Through an assessment, the NCRC measures basic workplace skills. Skilled Iowa encour-ages employers throughout the state to recognize the certificate and recommend it to job applicants. The ben-efit for employers is that it can help them evaluate job candidates and find the right worker for their needs, as well as reduce turnover and training costs.
Skilled Iowa aims to have 10 percent of businesses in Skilled Iowa Communities support the program by hir-ing certified workers and recommending the NCRC to job applicants, account-ing for 20 percent of total employment in the area. In those communities, Skilled Iowa sets a goal of 5 percent of the current workforce becoming certified through the NCRC and 20 percent of the “transitioning” work-force — those receiving un-employment insurance or other specified IWD servic-es – becoming certified.
