Drowning victim identified as CHS teacher By KYLE WILSON CNA managing [email protected]

AFTON — The name of the Creston man who drowned Mon-day evening in Twelve Mile Lake was released Tuesday.

The body of Rich Gander, 45, of Creston was recovered by div-ers about 9:15 a.m. Tuesday on the southwest side of the lake below about 15 feet of water.

Gander was reported missing 6:15 p.m. Monday when a fellow fisherman found an empty boat on the lake.

Authorities searched the water

for Gander until sundown Mon-day. The search continued 7:30 a.m. Tuesday morning with assistance from D e p a r t m e n t of Natural Re-sources and Midwest Regional Dive team.

They found his body at about 9:15 a.m. Tuesday about 30 feet from the shore.

“This was a fast recovery,” said Mark Sedlmayr with the De-partment of Natural Resources, “which is great because in these

situations it’s all about bringing closure to family. This recovery was a cooperative effort from the divers and several state and local entities.”

Gander was a mathematics teacher at Creston High School last school year and coached the Creston freshman softball team this summer. He also ran the game

clock for all home basketball games last winter. He was about to start his second year with the Cres-ton school system.

Bill Messerole, principal at Creston High School, worked with Gander for a total of 10 years in the Centerville and Creston school districts. He recruited Gander to come to Creston last year when a

math position became available.“He had a knack for taking a

room of students — some of which do not like math or even school — and getting them to learn,” Messe-role said. “That’s why I recruited him. He could control a classroom and do it with dignity and re-spect for the students. He will be missed.”

Mike McCabe, head softball coach at Creston, said Gander did an excellent job with the young Panther softball players.

“He would do anything for you

� Rich Gander, 45, of Creston was a math teacher at Creston High School last year. Gander drowned Monday evening in Twelve Mile Lake near Afton. It was the first drowning at a major lake in Union County since 1999.

SCHOOL SUPPLY costs increase nationally, locally

By BAILEY POOLMANCNA staff [email protected]

The end of summer vaca-tions loom as the first day of school draws closer. And, with the first day of school comes shopping for clothes, shoes and supplies.

However, according to Huntington National Bank’s statistics, the average annual cost of school supplies has increased more than 20 per-cent in all grade levels since 2010, and the cost has risen more than 7 percent since 2013.

Costs include things such as calculators, notebooks, athletic and music fees, col-lege preparatory material and backpacks.

While some stores have not seen an increase, sev-eral local teachers who buy school supplies for students have.

“Cost has gone way up,” said Bailey Fry-Schnormei-er, Creston High School art teacher. “I budget care-fully, look for good deals and scavenge for anything I think I can repurpose for my students.”

Fry-Schnormeier said dur-ing the spring 2014 semes-ter, her 3-D design students used mostly recycled materi-als from the community for

every project. One example includes recycled newspaper from Creston News Adver-tiser students made into wo-ven baskets.

Creston Elementary School first-grade instructor Alison Mayer has noticed a price increase since gradu-

ating high school, but she said it hasn’t affected her as much.

“I don’t know if I’ve no-ticed a lot of it (price in-crease),” Mayer said.

Iowa sales tax holiday set for Friday, Saturday

With school just around the corner, some parents can be found in the cloth-ing and shoe aisles at local stores, looking for that one bargain for their child’s first day outfit.

One such sale is Iowa’s sales tax holiday, an an-nual two-day event the first weekend in August when certain types of clothing and footwear can be purchased without paying sales tax or local option sales tax.

From midnight Aug. 1 to midnight Aug. 3, no sales tax will be on clothes and shoes.

“Any business who sells items of clothing or shoes will have to participate,” said Ellen Gerharz, executive di-rector of Creston Chamber of Commerce. “The state

Bill Krejci leaving SWCC in August

After 36 years in the athletic department at Southwestern Community College (SWCC), Bill Krejci will be stepping down from his position as director of athletics and athletic fundraising as of August 29, 2014.

Krejci, originally from Chicago, will be moving to Des Moines with his wife, Teresa, also an em-ployee at SWCC, who recently accepted a posi-tion at Drake University.

Krejci said the move is not an easy one for him.

“I am headed to Des Moines with my wife,” Krejci said. “For years, she has supported me in my career and I really appre-ciate that. Now it’s my turn to support her.”

Krejci’s name has been syn-onymous with SWCC baseball since 1978 when he started at the college as as-sistant director of student activities, physical ed-ucation instructor, and head baseball coach. He came to SWCC from Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Mo., where he played for the Bearcats from 1971-73. Krejci served as an assistant for the Bearcats baseball team while he completed his graduate studies, earning his mas-ter’s degree in education in 1976.

Throughout his 22 years of coaching, Krejci put SWCC baseball on the map, earning the respect of players and coaches nationwide. He oftentimes

4-H, FFA end projects at county’s fair sale By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA associate [email protected]

AFTON — Union County Fair ended Thursday with the conclu-sion of 4-H and FFA beef, sheep, goat, swine and poultry projects being sold at the fair’s sale.

Most market animals that are not going on to the Iowa State Fair (Aug. 7-17) or to another featured show and have reached proper market rate are sold at the sale.

“This was our first year for boil-er poultry,” said Kim Baker, who served as the clerk for the Union County Fair sale.

Chad Rieck, station manager for KSIB and Union County Cat-tlemen member, said the Union County Fair sale puts a lot of em-phasis on making it a positve expe-rience for the 4-H and FFA kids.

“I don’t know any other sale like it,” Rieck said. “The whole thing that makes the sale so good is the volunteers that go out and help get dollars from area businesses. They

know it is going to the youth.”Baker said about 200 business

and countless volunteers work to-gether to help 4-H and FFA fami-lies complete the full process of raising the project, showing it and selling it.

Mickey Austin Cassville, Mo.

Mickey Ray Austin, age 60, of Cassville, Missouri, p a s s e d away on S a t u r -day, July 26, 2014, from in-j u r i e s sustained in a motorcycle accident. Mr. Austin, son of Charles Austin and Jo (Da-vis) Parkis was born on No-vember 3, 1953, in Oceans-ide, California. On April 30, 1977, he was united in marriage to Terri Richard-son in Diagonal, Iowa. Cur-rently, he was employed by HammerHead Trenchless Equipment as a regional sales manager. Mickey loved his work and enjoyed everything associated with his job.

Survivors include his wife of 37 years Terri Austin, of Cassville; his two sons, Nathan Austin and his wife Kim, of Blue Springs, Missouri, and Cody Aus-tin and his wife Maranda, of Pona City, Oklahoma; four grandchildren, Dylan and Emilee Austin, and Cylas and Waylon Austin; his mother, Jo Parkis, of Stuart, Iowa; one brother, Johnny Austin and his wife

Nancy, of Pleasant Hills, Iowa; four sisters, Marla Monge and her husband Jim, of Rockford, Illi-nois, Terri Bernhardt and her husband Don, of Des Moines, Iowa, Bobbi Jo Parkis, of Houston, Texas, and Jennifer Lowman and her fiancé Kenny, of Asto-ria, New York; and numer-ous nieces and nephews.

In addition to his grand-parents, he was preceded in death by his father Chuck Austin on June 1, 2013.

Memorials may be made to the family and entrust-ed to the White Funeral Home, P.O. Box 890, Cass-ville, MO 65625.

Mickey never met a stranger, and could get your life story in fifteen minutes. He loved life and always had a smile on his face. He loved spending time with his family and friends, but his favorite place to go was Aruba to spend time with his Aruban family. Mick-ey’s passion was his Harley, and he passed away being out on the open road, doing what he loved the most.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, August 1, 2014 at the White Funeral Home and Crema-tory with Reverend Sonya Toby officiating. The fam-ily will receive friends from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 31st, at the funeral home.

Mayer purchases some supplies for students whose families may not be able to afford them, but overall she said she tries to avoid mak-ing purchases.

“We have school supply lists of what students need to bring. ... Some kids can’t afford it, so I do supply them with it,” Mayer said. “I really don’t (buy sup-plies). I just use some of the things I already have.”

Mayer said she spends ap-proximately $20 each month on supplies or other things for her classroom, and some of the things teachers pur-chase can be reimbursed by the school district.

StoresCreston Hy-Vee has not

seen an increase in school supply costs, according to Travis Messerly, manager of store operations.

“There’s no real increase at Hy-Vee,” Messerly said.

Messerly said everything from supplies to the people buying them have remained fairly consistent. People who shop at Hy-Vee in-clude those in the southwest Iowa area.

“We get a little bit from everywhere,” Messerly said. “Some from Creston, others from surrounding areas.”

Other places, such as Dol-lar General and Walmart in Creston offer notebooks, Post-It notes, crayons, pens, calculators and other sup-plies students may need for getting back in the class-room.

CostsHigh school fees, the

most expensive of the three school levels, are at $1,223.49. Costs include graphing calculator, read-

ing material, binders, col-lege-preparatory materials, band and school fees and one-year instrument rental.

Middle school costs are at $762.63, less than high school costs and more than elementary school costs.

The amount includes cal-culator, thesaurus, binders, school and sports participa-

tion fees, one-year music rental and headphones.

The lowest is costs for el-ementary school supplies, which are at $576.97.

The total includes calcu-lator, backpack, flash drive, school and field trip fees, one-year instrument rental and music stand.

Huntington National

Bank began its Backpack Index in 2007.

The index looks at the cost of supplies for ele-mentary, middle and high school, including athletics and music fees.

It bases costs of things on certain businesses and keeps prices constant through each school level.

and for the kids is what I have come to find out in our time together,” Mc-Cabe said. “He had a good perspective on athletics and what that experience is sup-posed to be — that there’s a lot more to it than just the w i n n i n g and los-ing, that there’s a lot of life lessons there.”

Messerole said counsel-ors at the high school are available today and in the future for grieving stu-dents.

Gander is a graduate of Lynnville-Sully High School. He was unmarried and had no children. Mes-serole said most of his fam-ily lives in the Newton area and he also has several friends in the Centerville School District.

One of those friends was fellow teacher Matt Kru-zich, who was hired the same year (1998) as Gan-der in Centerville. Kruzich said they became friends through conversations about how to connect with students, music and athlet-ics.

“He was a music buff,” Kruzich said. “He liked alternative music best — bands like U2, R.E.M. and Rush. We also compared notes about students and how to connect and mo-tive them. This is a tragic loss. He’s a friend and fel-low educator that will be

greatly missed.”Kruzich did say Gander

didn’t participate in a lot of group activities at Cen-terville. He liked doing hobbies — like fishing — alone for the most part.

Authorities confirmed this morning that Gander was alone Monday eve-ning and not wearing a life jacket.

They did say two unused life jackets were found in-side Gander’s boat during the search Monday into Tuesday.

This is the first drowning on a major lake in Union County since June 1999

when Don Newton of Kel-lerton jumped into Three Mile Lake to retrieve a water ski and never re-surfaced. Newton was not wearing a life jacket.

based on the current mar-ket, but the premiums are what make the Union County Fair sale stand out.

Rieck estimated the 4-H and FFA kids averaged a $700-1,000 premium.

“When they buy an animal, they may string

together four or five businesses (that made do-nations),” Rieck said.

A majority of the breed-ing cattle returns home with the 4-H or FFA mem-ber to start another project such as a cow/calf pair or to breed similar livestock with desired show quali-ties.

SALE:


has dictated that the first Friday and Saturday in August, that no tax can be collected on items under $100.”

The mandate spreads to any company with prod-ucts con-s i d e r e d c l o t h i n g or shoes.

“Hope-fully it b r i n g s p e o p l e into the c o m m u -nity to purchase items,” Gerharz said. “We always hope people will take ad-vantage of that 7 percent. ... Hopefully people come into the community and make their purchases, and

while they’re here they might buy school supplies, belts, jewelry and other ac-cessories.”

HistoryTax holidays became na-

tion-wide in 1996, when a statewide sales tax holiday was enacted in New York.

Since then, 13 states, in-cluding Iowa, have taken up tax holidays throughout the year.

Most of the holidays oc-cur in August, while some are at other times of the year.

Connecticut and Mary-land have seven-day holi-days and Virginia and Louisiana’s tax-free items include hurricane pre-paredness items.

Virginia is the only state with three tax holidays throughout the year.

Another great Union County Fair From Ron DunphyUnion County

With great fanfare another Union County Fair is in the record books. Competitions of all sorts in-volving animals or handiwork were held and the outcome much to the liking of all county residents or be-yond, grandparents from where?

As a grandparent, I could not help notice and appreciate the in-volvement of parents in the proj-

ects. Yes, I did also notice the good number of folks who could and did help though the 4-Hers might not be family related.

To conclude the fair was the auc-tion. A staple allowing for local business and local family to offer financial reward for all of the good, project long efforts. This should be a time for hardworking youth to learn the lesson that effort earns recognition.

I would note here that the an-

nouncement of Polly Sweeps last pie for sale brought a certain wet-ness to my eyes. Polly’s wild goose-berry pies have long brought large donations to the 4-H program, ac-tually any berry contained in one of her pies was a special treat. Thank you SO much Polly (and Dennis).

The “educator” in me wishes this great effort by children and par-ents continues when school doors open. There is so much more to be learned and earned!

Ernst commercial seems really odd From Monica McCarthyCreston

I see the Joni Ernst commercial where she accuses Bruce Braley of insulting Chuck Grassley by calling him a farmer. Uh — Ms. Ernst — Chuck Grassley is a farmer.

Why would you say that Braley is insulting Grassley by calling him a farmer? In fact, you say that you are a farmer, also.

Do you understand that you are insulting your own self and many other fine Iowa farmers? Being a farmer is something to be PROUD of; it is NOT an insult.

Your logic sounds like the pa-thetic Sarah Palin.

Bruce Braley has worked to save Social Security, strengthen Medi-care, and was of course a major supporter of the ACA. His sup-port has allowed many formerly

uninsured Iowans a chance at real medical care.

From what I have heard, you plan to destroy all those programs. If you do, it will destroy Iowa.

Let us know your plans – or should we say, Koch Brothers’ plans for you. lowans are a pretty smart group, and we can be talked to like adults. We are quite inter-ested in what the real Ernst agenda is.

Show us the proof From Jim StalkerCreston

Show us the proof, not just the dream! Show us how we will be able to heat and cool Lincoln School. If we will remember, one of the main reasons for the consolidation of all of the grade schools into one was the high cost of heating. Cooling was not even a consideration as no schools were cooled, with maybe the principal’s office as the excep-tion. Lest we forget, power always flows uphill. Show us the actual costs of installing a geothermal unit and just how much of a break we might qualify for from the utility company. I’m sure these costs and savings are available from Alliant.

I think the current library board is correct in shifting the emphasis from a library to a cultural center. Sometimes we don’t see it, but

change happens every day and in every way. As an “oldie” I don’t necessarily like change. As a book-seller for nearly 40 years, I’ve lived through the cycling of book read-ing. Right now, we are caught up in this techno-gadget period and interest in the reading of an actual printed book is down. Given time, I don’t know how much time, white page reading will return.

Today, we see a large contingent of younger people living in Cres-ton. They often do not see the im-portance of hanging on to the past. They are the new technologists. They’ve come along with the new age and have chosen to live in Cres-ton, eager to bring with them, the new world, the coffee shop crowd, the diversified centers of the arts, and above all, they want their chil-dren to be given every opportunity to learn and experience the new

ways.So, where does all this talk bring

us? I wish I knew. It’s a tough place to be in. From one point of view, if we could get the corporate and foundation “heads up” with most of the building costs, it would be a godsend and for the sake of the chil-dren, we should probably support it. From a historical point of view, I think probably even the Gibson family realize the importance of changing along with change.

There will be no clear answers to this problem. Keeping in mind that our taxes are high and our incomes are not, every decision will be a tough one and will most certainly not satisfy everyone. The fact that we don’t get to vote grinds on ev-eryone’s mind, but then, this is not the only entity that gets to spend money with or without majority ap-proval.

According to the United Na-tions, one child has been killed in Gaza every hour for the past two days. Overall, the Israeli military has killed close to 700 Palestinians, the vast majority civilians, since the assault on Gaza began more than two weeks ago. Details of the slaughter make their way into the world’s media, with horrific accounts of children killed on the beach, of hospital intensive-care units bombed, of first responders, searching for wounded amid the rubble, killed by Israeli sniper fire. Armed resistance groups in Gaza, most notably that of the area’s elected government, Hamas, have fired thousands of crude rock-ets that have killed two in Israel. Since Israel began its land invasion of Gaza, more than 30 Israeli sol-diers have been killed. One of the greatest challenges in understand-ing the situation in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories is getting reliable information. This latest assault on Gaza reaffirms the key role played by the U.S. media in maintaining the informa-tion blockade. It also highlights the increasing importance of pres-sure applied by social networks.

One headline said it all: “Missile at Beachside Gaza Cafe Finds Pa-trons Poised for World Cup.” That

was The New York Times, refer-ring to a missile strike in Gaza that killed at least eight people on the beach in the town of Khan You-nis. Ali Abunimah, a prominent Palestinian-American journalist who co-founded the website The Electronic Intifada, mockingly tweeted: “Israeli missile stops by Gaza cafe for a drink and dialogue with its Palestinian friends.” The odd, passive phrasing of the origi-nal headline became the subject of a global social-media firestorm. The New York Times replaced the headline with “In Rubble of Gaza Seaside Cafe, Hunt for Victims Who Had Come for Soccer.”

This wasn’t the first time in this latest attack on Gaza that a ma-jor news organization got a black eye. On July 16, NBC reporter Ayman Mohyeldin witnessed an Israeli strike on a Gaza beach that killed four young boys who were playing soccer. After the deadly strike, Mohyeldin’s graphic tweets alerted the world to the breaking

news: “4 Palestinian kids killed in a single Israeli airstrike. Minutes before they were killed by our ho-tel, I was kicking a ball with them #gaza.” He tweeted that they were all first cousins. He tweeted their names and ages:

1) Ahed Atef Bakr 10 yrs old2) Zakaria Ahed Bakr 10 yrs old3) Mohamed Ramez Bakr 11 yrs

old4) Ismael Mohamed Bakr 9 yrs

old”Mohyeldin raced to the Al-Shi-

fa hospital and witnessed mem-bers of the Bakr family as they learned of the killing of the boys. It would have been normal for the eyewitness to break the story on the “NBC Nightly News.” In-stead it was journalist Richard En-gel on the screen reporting from Tel Aviv. Pulitzer Prize-winning Glenn Greenwald told me on the “Democracy Now!” news hour what he learned about NBC’s de-cision-making around Mohyeldin after he reported on the deaths: “What was really stunning was, later that day, after what argu-ably was his biggest or one of his biggest events in his journalism career, where he really made a huge impact on having the world understand what’s happening in Gaza, they not only blocked him

from appearing on the air to talk about it on NBC News, but then they told him to leave Gaza imme-diately.”

Social media lit up in protest, with the hashtag #letAymanre-port. By Friday night, NBC an-nounced that Mohyeldin would be back. Mohyeldin tweeted, “Thanks for all the support. Im re-turning to #Gaza to report. Proud of NBC’s continued commitment to cover the #Palestinian side of the story.”

But back in NBC’s studios, the trouble was not over. Rula Jebreal is a Palestinian author and po-litical analyst. She has been a paid contributor on MSNBC, where, during an interview this week, she critiqued that cable network’s cov-erage of Gaza:

“We are disgustingly biased when it comes to this issue. Look at how [much] airtime [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and his folks have on air on a daily basis, Andrea Mitchell and oth-ers. I never see one Palestinian being interviewed on these same issues.” She tweeted later, “My forthcoming TV appearances have been canceled! Is there a link be-tween my expose and the cancel-lation?” While MSNBC host Chris Hayes bravely brought her onto

his show to discuss her critique, she is unsure if her contract will be renewed.

Early in this latest assault on Gaza, I asked Joshua Hantman, senior adviser to Israel’s ambassa-dor to the United States, about the mounting death toll, the major-ity civilian. He chillingly replied: “I’ll be honest, the precision is quite outstanding. And there is no military in the history of the world that has actually used such preci-sion targets.” The terror and death wreaked by the precision of which Hantman boasts is made clear, day after day, thanks to the work of too few courageous journalists, supported by an engaged global citizenry, using social networks to overcome traditional media block-ades.

Overcoming the media blockade in Gaza

King FeaturescommentaryAmy Goodman

The Cleveland Browns ex-pressed concerned about the be-havior of Johnny Manziel after he was photographed rolling a twenty-dollar bill in a bathroom. It looks bad. Ohioans are worried he may be out of control and Texans just disowned him for snorting coke with a twenty.

John Kerry returned to Wash-ington from brokering peace talks between the two sides in the war in Gaza. He’s really done a remark-able thing, he’s gotten the Israelis and Palestinians to reach an ac-cord. They have agreed tostop shooting at each other and unite to shoot at Kerry.

President Obama slapped trade, energy and financial sanctions on Russia Tuesday after the E.U. agreed to levy the same sanctions. The Russians didn’t exactly fold on the news. Vladimir Putin im-mediately offered to arm-wrestle President Obama, the winner gets Ukraine.

Russia responded to U.S. sanc-tions by accusing the McDonald’s restaurants in Moscowof consumer fraud. It’s a crackdown on Ameri-can fast food joints. Russia ordered McDonald’s to post the calorie count on all their menu items and they’re forcing Cinnabon to post its

death toll.Shelley Sterling won a court case

to sell the Clippers to Microsoft’s CEO after her husband offended blackpeople. Donald Sterling lost his courtcase and made two billion dollars. Two things on this earth are just impossible, defying grav-ity and explaining Los Angeles to outsiders.

The NFL released a list of fines for onfield player misconduct this fall. The league warned teams not to secretly offer players bounties for injuring opponents. Last year one NFL team paid players fifteen hundred for cart-offs, a thousand for knockouts and ten dollars for fiancees.

President Obama returned to work in the Oval Office Sunday after a week in Washington state and California raising money for the Democrats. He’s now spoken at four hundred fundraisers since he became president it’s absolutely amazing he can find the time to play golf.

Thursday, July 31, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Love at first sight might happen for some of you today. Others will have moments of artistic, creative genius. Parents should be vigilant about their children, however: Know where they are at all times.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Spontaneous parties and get-togethers might occur at home today. Or perhaps you will buy something beautiful for a family member or where you live.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a favorable time for writing and teaching, because you’re full of creative thoughts and ideas. It’s as if a light bulb has gone off in your brain.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is an excellent day for business and commerce. Look for ways to make more money or improve your profits. Dealing with foreign countries could pay off.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You feel full of excitement and energy today! You

have that feeling that you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. Impulsive actions will lead you down new paths.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might feel restless today because there’s a sense of high-voltage in the air. Some of you will have a secret flirta-tion or start a clandestine love affair.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might meet someone who is beautiful, exciting and differ-ent today. This person could knock your socks off. For oth-ers, a casual friendship could heat up into something roman-tic.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Some encouraging news makes you suddenly impa-tient to achieve something. Perhaps you realize something is doable or within your reach. How exciting!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Surprise oppor-tunities to travel somewhere might drop in your lap today. Similarly, unexpected chances to get further training or edu-cation suddenly might mate-rialize.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Keep your pockets open, because gifts, goodies and favors from others can come your way today. You also might have a sudden opportu-

nity to take out a loan or mort-gage. Act quickly, because this window of opportunity is brief.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A casual relationship sud-denly might become commit-ted today. Something unex-pected will happen in your dealings with partners and close friends. Stay tuned.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A chance to discuss important agreements might arise today. Relations with superiors and co-workers are looking much better! New technology could

be introduced to your work-space.

YOU BORN TODAY You are observant; you notice details. You also are philosophical about people and societies. In addition, you have an amazing imagination! Many of you are drawn to the arts, although you are practical and realistic as well. This year, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish to make room for something new to enter your world.

Dear Readers: Have you enjoyed the delicious taste of the funny little brown, furry KIWIFRUIT? These small, fuzzy fruits are just plain fun to eat!

They do have a great taste, sort of like strawberries, but not really. When buying, pass over extremely soft or bruised fruit. Squeeze the little fuzz-ball (not too hard), and it should “give” a little. Time to eat and enjoy.

If still firm, you can ripen the fruit at room temperature (they do look nice in a bowl on the kitchen counter), or in a paper bag with an apple to speed up the process. Once ripened, kiwifruit can be kept in the refrigerator for up to four weeks, or left at room temperature for a few days. — Heloise

P.S.: Did you know you can eat the skin of a kiwifruit? It is completely edible, but most people peel the skin before eating. However, now that I have learned this, I’m going to try one with the skin on!

Email: [email protected]

ICE-CREAM CONESDear Heloise: Here are two

summer hints my kids can’t do without. First, I always place a small marshmallow in the bottom of ice-cream cones to keep the ice cream from com-ing out of the bottom.

Second, I place a layer of hazelnut spread or peanut butter around the inside of the cone before the ice cream is added for an extra-special flavor surprise. — Tara W. in Florida

SHINY OR DULL?Dear Heloise: I have always

wondered if it matters which side is up or down when us-ing regular aluminum foil: the shiny side or the dull side. Any hints? — John W. in Illinois

It makes absolutely no dif-ference which side you use — they are the same!

It’s simply how it’s manu-factured. One side is pol-ished by the steel rollers and is shiny, and the “poor” other

side is dull. — Heloise TEST YOUR HINT IQDear Readers: Which of

these items can be used when seeding jalapenos or hot pep-pers?

A. A grapefruit knifeB. Rubber glovesC. A vegetable peelerIf you chose A, B or C, you

are correct! All can be used when seeding hot peppers, but you should wear rubber gloves. — Heloise

P.S.: If you don’t have rub-ber gloves, rub some cooking oil on your hands BEFORE dealing with any hot peppers. And for gosh sakes, DON’T rub your eyes, nose or any other body part! It’s very painful, and it’s happened to lots of folks!

CUTTING CANTA-LOUPE

Dear Heloise: I cut a canta-loupe into quarters, and then I use a grapefruit knife to cut the fruit from the skin. This works great, as the knife is curved and serrated on both sides. — Jeanette W. in New Hampshire

I’m going to look right now and see if I have a grapefruit knife! — Heloise

Iowa Supreme Court to hear Louisell case in September (MCT) — The Iowa Supreme

Court has agreed to hear arguments this fall for the case of a woman who was sentenced to life in prison for murder when she was 17, and is now trying to gain her freedom.

The U.S. Supreme Court and the Iowa Supreme Court have both ruled in the past two years that it was un-constitutional for juvenile offenders to be automatically sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole — the sentence Yvette Lou-isell received in 1988 when she was convicted of first-degree murder.

After those rulings, Iowa Gov. Ter-ry Branstad commuted the sentences of 38 Iowa convicts from life without parole to life with no parole until 60 years have been served.

Louisell, now 43, was 17 when she fatally stabbed a paraplegic Ames man in his 40s inside his home. Lou-isell was a freshman at Iowa State University, and had met Keith Still-well during an art class on campus where she was a nude model.

Stillwell invited Louisell to his home for a private modeling session, and at some point during a session on Dec. 6, 1988, Louisell stabbed him six times.

During a jury trial the next sum-mer, Louisell argued he had attacked her first, and her actions had been in self-defense, but she was convicted of first-degree murder.

After Branstad commuted the 38 life sentences in one fell swoop, Lou-isell and her attorney, Gordon Al-len, petitioned Story County District Court for a resentencing hearing.

District Court Judge James Ellef-son initially denied the request for a new sentence, but after that decision was overturned by the Iowa Supreme Court in October 2013, Ellefson sen-tenced Louisell to 25 years in prison — a sentence she has already com-pleted.

At the resentencing hearing, Story County Attorney Stephen Holmes ar-gued Louisell’s resentencing should be postponed until after the Iowa Legislature has set new sentencing guidelines for juveniles convicted of

first-degree murder.Louisell has gained a number of

public supporters over the years, in-cluding the former county attorney who prosecuted her and the judge who sentenced her.

She was joined by more than 30 of them at the January resentencing, including a Des Moines woman who said she was hoping Louisell would come live with her after she’s free.

Ellefson’s ruling was again ap-pealed to the Iowa Supreme Court, this time by the Iowa Attorney Gen-eral’s Office, who is arguing that while the district court is allowed to strike down an unconstitutional sen-tence, it’s not authorized to create a new sentence.

The Supreme Court will hear argu-ments for the case Sept. 11 during a session in Iowa City.

Iowa Gov. Branstad gets support for opposition to hosting ‘illegal entrants’

VINTON (MCT) — Gov. Terry Branstad is getting some brickbats from politi-cal opponents for his insis-tence that Iowa shouldn’t be playing host to unaccom-panied children who have entered the country illegally but none of that was evident on the campaign trail Tues-day.

Asked whether the state should welcome the chil-dren, Branstad offered his empathy for the “illegal en-trants” along with criticism of the Obama administra-tion’s failure to secure the nation’s borders.

“They have also failed to keep us informed,” he add-ed, a reference to the federal Department of Health Edu-cation and Welfare not tell-ing Iowa that more than 100 children who entered the country illegally have been placed in the states.

The state has not been told who the children are, how old they are, their health status, where they are and who they are with, he said.

That seemed to meet with agreement from the more than 40 people who attend-ed his campaign stop at Piz-za Ranch in Vinton, which is friendly territory for the governor. In 2010, Branstad carried Benton County 55-41 percent over incumbent Democratic Gov. Chet Cul-ver four years ago.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Sen. Jack Hatch has called for a Coalition of Mercy to welcome the children to Iowa in the tradi-tion of the efforts to resettle Southeast Asian refugees after the Vietnam War.

Theme parks offering smart-phone options to improve visitor experience

Folks don’t leave their trusty smartphones at home when they go on va-cation. They use them for work and play while trav-eling, and central Florida’s theme parks and attrac-tions are taking advantage of the growing trend.

Park visitors, armed with their phones and tablets, can monitor lines for popu-lar rides, make dining res-ervations, plot routes and get reminders of where they parked the minivan — all on the fly.

“People are now using their mobile device to en-hance their experience,”

said Toni Caracciolo, vice president of marketing for SeaWorld Parks & Re-sorts. “It used to be that maybe I’d use my iPhone or iPad to purchase my tickets, now it’s actually engaging throughout the entire day.”

SeaWorld’s revamped app includes information about the animals seen at the theme park and a scavenger-hunt activity, she said.

“Your child can learn more about animals … and at the same time be pet-ting a stingray,” Caracciolo said.

The Numbers Game

Cyclones fallDES MOINES — A

comeback came up just short as the tying run was thrown out at the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning, giv-ing Davenport Assump-tion an 8-7 win over Harlan in a Class 3A state baseball quarterfi-nal.

The Cyclones, who trailed 7-1 after 5 1/2 innings, were down 8-5 entering the final half in-ning. Cale Stork started the rally with a one-out single against Assump-tion reliever Andrew Quested. Mitch Kramer followed with a walk and Kyle Juhl singled to load the bases.

Quested was then re-placed on the mound by freshman Trenton Wal-lace, who had thrown just 5 2/3 innings in two appearances all season. Adam Juhl flied out to center for the second out.

Nate Gettys drew a walk, cutting the lead to 8-6, then Dillon Sears singled to center, scor-ing Kramer, but pinch-runner Adam Rasmus-sen was thrown out at the plate, ending the game.

Assumption will play top-ranked and top-seeded Waverly-Shell Rock in a semifinal at noon Friday.

Harlan’s season ends at 25-9. The Cyclones lose four seniors in Get-tys, Derek Leinen, Stork and Adam Juhl.

Scores of other 3A quarterfinal games Tuesday were Waverly-Shell Rock 3, Solon 1; Sergeant Bluff-Luton 2, Algona 1; Dallas Cen-ter-Grimes 3, Fairfield 0 (9 innings).

Class 4A competition begins today, including sixth-seeded Southeast Polk (29-13) vs. third-seeded Cedar Rapids Kennedy (31-6) at 8 p.m. Southeast Polk is coached by Creston na-tives Scott Belger and assistant Dave Hartman.Laker coach

EL SEGUNDO, Ca-lif. — The Los Angeles Lakers introduced for-mer showtime era player and new head coach By-ron Scott on Tuesday.

Scott won three titles with the team from 1983 to 1993 and played again during Kobe Bryant’s rookie season.

Scott even had the approval from Lakers greats Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Jamaal Wilkes, who were in attendance dur-ing the press conference.

“We came here today to support our brother and our former team-mate and champion By-ron Scott and also we’re here to support the Lak-er organization,” John-son said.Scully returns

LOS ANGELES — Vin Scully is stay-ing in the booth for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 86-year-old Hall of Fame announcer will re-turn for his record 66th season with the team in 2015. “God willing, I will be back next year,” he said in a statement.

H-10 champion Panthers celebrate successful seasonBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

The Creston softball team, which won a share of the Hawkeye 10 Conference championship this season, celebrated its strong season at the team’s postseason awards banquet in the Cres-ton High School commons on Friday.

For a team with no se-niors, there’s still plenty to be optimistic about for next year, as well.

“Usually you have some tears there and some final goodbyes (with seniors), but not the case,” head coach Mike McCabe said. “This group will have de-signs on trying to get that sixth con-f e r e n c e champion-ship in the last seven years.

“Our conference was young, though. There will be a lot of good players return-ing. It will be pretty com-petitive again. We’ll kind of have to turn the page. Maybe enjoy it for a little bit longer, but then move on and be ready to go for a new group, even though it’s the same group.”

McCabe said he was glad this group of players, led by a junior class that includes Haylee LaMasters, Brenna Baker and Natalie Mostek, was able to claim a confer-ence championship.

“This was the core group of kids that kind of had to follow two pretty good groups two and three years ago, with Carla (Smith) and Shelby (Kramer) and then of course Maddie (Haines), Madison (Frain) and Katlin

(Briley).“They got a lot of acco-

lades and won some titles, and this group was kind of the forgotten group. I thought they made a great run at it last year until the fi-nal week and set it as a goal this year to do that. I’m re-ally proud of them. I think they felt a little justification that they carried on a little bit of tradition.”

After dealing with numer-ous injuries during the off-season, an early start to the conference season this year

provided added pressure on the Panther team.

LaMasters dealt with a wrist injury during the offseason, while Baker suffered a knee injury in basketball. Taylor Briley suffered a concussion dur-ing basketball and had a leg injury during track. Fresh-man Hannah Hood, who figured to play a big part for the Panthers this year, had shoulder surgery and missed the entire season.

After a 1-3 start to the conference season, the

Panthers finally rounded into form and reeled off 16 straight conference victo-ries.

“We had LC, Glenwoo and Harlan right out of the chute,” McCabe said. “Three of the favorites. We were 1-3 and then boom. Who would have thunk?”

McCabe also praised sophomore Jami Sickels, who won the varsity team’s Most Improved Player Award.

Sickels took her batting average from .185 a year ago

to .411 this year.“Just a remarkable job,”

McCabe said. “I kind of p o i n t e d her out. I said it’s not by ac-c i d e n t . She re-ally listens to what y o u ’ r e s a y i n g , tries to

Quick Slants: Twodepartures and an injuryBy MARC MOREHOUSEThe Gazette

CHICAGO — Iowa is of-ficially in the market for a No. 3 quarterback.

Head coach Kirk Ferentz announced Monday that redshirt freshman quarter-back Nic Shimonek has de-cided to transfer. Also, line-backer Laron Taylor also will transfer from Iowa.

Rivals.com reported that Shimonek will walk on at Texas Tech, which is closer to his home in Corsicana, Texas.

“Nic has just been tre-mendous,” Ferentz said. “He’s a good quarterback and a very good prospect. I think it was as simple as he looked up and saw two players ahead of him who’ve been on the field. It’s not a case of him being afraid of competition. I think it’s be-ing realistic and thinking I’m going to try to find a faster path to the field.”

Also, wide receiver Da-mond Powell has had sur-gery for a sports hernia. Ferentz said Powell, who had 12 catches for 291 yards and two TDs as a junior last season, will be out mostly through camp and possibly some early games.

“Worst-case scenario would be Big Ten play [for Powell’s return], but I’m hoping before then,” Fe-rentz said.

With Shimonek’s depar-ture, Iowa now has three scholarship quarterbacks on the roster — junior Jake Rudock, sophomore C.J. Beathard and incoming freshman Tyler Wiegers.

Iowa has three quarterback commitments in the 2015 class — Jack Beneventi, Ryan Boyle and Drew Cook. So, Iowa has a stable, it’s just cutting it kind of close for No. 3 this season.

Ferentz said this doesn’t necessarily mean Wiegers will forego his redshirt and play this season.

“In a perfect world, we’ll be able to make it through with two quarterbacks,” Ferentz said. “If not, guess what, you’re in there [on Wiegers and redshirting].”

Speaking of quarterbacks ... Ferentz ended spring practice saying that Beath-ard could be in for p l a y i n g time this s e a s o n , and not the play-ing time he had last sea-son, which came only when Rudock suffered knee injuries in three games.

The Beathard time in games remains in the con-versation, Ferentz said Monday.

“We’re not trying to pla-cate him or appease him, we’re trying to win,” Ferentz said. “If we think it can be effective for us, we’ll try to weave it in a smart way.”

Ferentz compared the possibility to the way Iowa used Brad Banks in 2001, splitting time with Kyle Mc-Cann. Banks added a dimen-sion of hurting teams with his feet. Where do Rudock and Beathard contrast?

“There’s a difference

there, they’re unique in their own ways,” Ferentz said, “but the good news is they’re both good quarter-backs.”

New rules ... A new NCAA rule gave on-field coaches eight hours per week in the offseason to in-teract with players, with up to two of those hours avail-able for football-related meetings or film review — provided those players were enrolled in summer school or met a minimum grade-point average requirement.

Ferentz said Iowa never went more than four hours a week with its players.

“We used probably an hour and a half and three hours total before the Fourth of July,” he said. “I thought it was important for our coaches to be nor-mal citi-zens for a while. In a nutshell, we were probably under four hours for the entire s u m m e r . That might be wrong, that might be right, but my feel-ing was the strength-and-conditioning staff has the guys for the summer time. I enjoyed the opportunity to watch the guys train, but as far as working with our play-ers, I’m not real big on that thought. I’m not sure it’s a good thing nationally.”

Last season, a core of Iowa players took video study in its own hands. The

Rose’s ‘confidence level is through the roof’By K.C. JOHNSONChicago Tribune

LAS VEGAS — In this artificial city where hope can disappear as easily as coins in a slot machine, a man of substance is work-ing to regain his magic.

You remember public address announcer Tom-my Edwards’ pregame call at the United Center: From Chicago! . . .

Or maybe you don’t.Derrick Rose has

played so little basketball in the last 27 months that it can — occasionally — be difficult to recall the sway he once held on his hometown. The do-good kid raised by a single mother and three older siblings who escaped En-glewood. The No. 1 over-all pick who stormed to Rookie of the Year hon-ors for the Bulls with his unique blend of speed, strength and sizzle. The youngest Most Valuable Player in NBA history.

Rose returned to the h a r d -w o o d f o r p u b l i c o b s e r -v a t i o n M o n -d a y , p r a c -t i c i n g without incident and with flashes of greatness at USA Bas-ketball’s minicamp for the FIBA World Cup of Basketball.

Eight months and six days have passed since Rose tore his right me-niscus. And he’s exact-

ly 27 months removed from having his left ACL snap. Those two injuries, combined with the pub-lic relations missteps in his will-he-or-won’t-he botched return saga late in the 2012-13 season, sullied for some Rose’s once-spotless on-court reputation.

For some, the can’t-miss kid landed under the microscope.

“That’s ridiculous,” Team USA head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “ H e ’ s one of the great p e o p l e and one of the g r e a t p layers . To get multiple i n j u r i e s like that can defeat any-body mentally. I don’t see that. He should be applauded for what he’s doing. I know I’m a Chi-cagoan who is very happy that he’s back, not just for USA Basketball but for the Bulls.”

As part of his second straight serious reha-bilitation, Rose has been playing full court since mid-May. But as one of 19 hopefuls trying to make the 12-man roster that will compete in Spain in September, Monday marked Rose’s first com-petition against elite players.

There he was, leading a

Continued from page 8A

fast break alongside All-Star Kevin Durant. There he was, knocking down a 3-pointer off a James Harden feed. Rose was even picking up full court defensively.

To hear Rose tell it, he’s right where he belongs.

“I’ve been preparing for this for a long time,” he said. “It’s probably big for everyone else because they haven’t seen me. It’s kind of weird. People are kind of like in awe to even see me run down the floor, like I’m handicapped or some-thing.

“This is only the begin-ning of a long journey. But my confidence level is through the roof.”

Indeed, that aspect of Rose’s game hasn’t changed one iota.

“I know how special I am as a player,” he said. “And I know what I still can do.”

Rose always has carried the air of one comfortable in his own skin, unfazed by the hysteria that swirls around him. He has alter-nated between insisting he’s unaware of any criti-cism and claiming he uses it as motivation.

In his lone news confer-ence following the menis-cus surgery, he famously said “you can be a fool if you want to” when asked about those who doubt he can regain his elite status.

“I got somebody that’s looking up to me, and that’s my son,” Rose said, when asked how he stayed positive. “All I can do is go out here and at least try, not give up. Usually, when I play the way I normally play, something positive comes of it.

“With the second in-jury, of course people are going to have stuff to say.

But you can’t get mad at them. I got too many posi-tives going my way. I got my son. I got my family. Rehab took care of every-thing. Now, I’m just trying to put it all behind me and today is another day.”

Granted, Monday only marked a practice. But as the starting point guard on the U.S. national team that captured gold at the 2010 World Championships in Turkey, Rose is back in the program that helped catapult him to his MVP season in 2010-11.

And there were signs that rust won’t be a fac-tor. He knocked down two 3-pointers. He attacked the rim twice in transition. He showed no hesitation.

“The explosiveness is the same,” said Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, who is Krzyzewski’s Team USA assistant. “The strength in his leg is great. His ex-plosion is back. That’s all there. He has to work on the timing. He has missed a lot of time in the last three years.

“But he was much more patient. He just found the rhythm of the game. He didn’t settle for the quick shot. He ran the team. He had a re-ally good understanding of when he should shoot and when he should pass. His wind still isn’t there, but it was a re-ally good start.”

And Rose insists he’s en-gaged in this endeavor for the long haul. This is not a week of practices for com-petition and confidence.

This is Rose trying to make the team and win gold in Spain.

Relaxed and conver-sational afterward, Rose l a u g h e d as he shared an anecdote about for-mer Bull Kyle Ko-rver, also t r y i n g to make Team USA.

“I was telling him, ‘Man, I’m old. I’ve got to stretch, I’ve got to use rollers (on my legs) and stuff,’ “ Rose said. “He looked at me kind of weird, ‘Hold up, you’re only 25.’ And that’s the thing; I still have my youth.

“Coming back last sea-son, of course I wanted to prove everybody wrong. I wanted it too, too bad. This time around, I just know that I’ve got to let the game come to me. Go out there and just play.”

Iowa Speedway to host post-race party on the track following Saturday’s race

NEWTON – Iowa Speed-way’s race season and the NASCAR Nationwide Se-ries “Dash 4 Cash” will see dramatic conclusions Satur-day, August 2.

The season started at Iowa Speedway with “Wide Opening Weekend” and it will conclude with another party-like atmosphere with the “Dash 4 Cash Bash” on the frontstretch.

Every fan attending the NASCAR Nationwide Se-ries U.S. Cellular 250 pre-sented by New Holland may join the NASCAR-style cel-

ebration immediately after the checkered flag waves, culminating the popular “Dash 4 Cash” driver and fan sweepstakes and Iowa Speedway’s 2014 race sea-son.

“The Dash 4 Cash was created to reward the full-time drivers and their avid fans in the NASCAR Na-tionwide Series,” said Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small. “It’s fitting that our loyal fans will get to party on the track to celebrate the end of our racing season and the conclusion of the wildly

successful program.” The “Dash 4 Cash Bash”

will take place on the re-cently raced frontstretch of Iowa Speedway and feature NASCAR Nationwide Se-ries driver appearances, mu-sic from DJ Michaelis and K&N gift certificates for the first 100 fans “over the wall.” Party goers will also have an opportunity to win prizes and giveaways, play tailgate games, grab a drink and show off their best “Ro-bot” or “Shopping Cart” moves on the frontstretch “under the lights.”

NCAA reaches $75 million settlement in concussion lawsuitBy JOHN KEILMANChicago Tribune

The NCAA has created a new protocol to handle con-cussed athletes and will spend millions to monitor the health of athletes who might have suffered concussions while playing college sports, accord-ing to a settlement filed in fed-eral court this morning.

The $75 million settlement caps litigation that began when a dozen college athletes -- including former Eastern Illinois University defensive back Adrian Arrington -- ac-

cused the NCAA of putting their health at risk by leaving concussion policies up to indi-vidual schools.

Under the agreement, NCAA schools will have to follow certain procedures. Players will not be allowed to return to action the same day they receive a concussion. All players, coaches and trainers will receive concussion educa-tion. And doctors trained in concussion diagnosis will have to be present for all games played in contact sports such as football, soccer and basket-ball.

The medical monitoring fund will allow any athlete who played NCAA sports to get a free evaluation of possi-ble concussion-related symp-toms, ranging from motor problems to cognitive issues.

The NCAA will also con-tribute $5 million toward concussion-related research, according to the settlement.

FINAL NOTICE OF POTENTIAL IMPACT/CONVERSION OF IMPORTANT FARMLAND AND NOTICE OF A FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

The USDA Rural Utilities Service has received an application for financial assistance from the Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA). 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.

As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rural Utilities Service has prepared an Environmental Assessment that evaluated the potential environmental effects, consequences of the proposed project and the effects the proposal may have on historic properties

Rural Development has assessed the environmental impacts of this proposal and determined one acre of important farmland near Bridgewater will be converted. The site, 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. It has been determined that there is no practicable alternative to avoiding this conversion or effect.

The Environmental Assessment was published June 17, 18, & 19, 2014 for a 30 day comment period. No comments were received. Upon consideration of the applicant’s proposal, federal and state environmental regulatory and natural resources agencies, and public input, the agency has determined that the proposal will not have a significant effect on the human environment and for which an Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared.

In order to avoid or minimize any adverse environmental impacts, the Rural Utilities Service will require the applicant to incorporate the following mitigation measures into the proposed project’s design. The mitigation measures include:

q Compliance with conditions contained in the IDNR Construction Permit to be completed.

q Compliance with conditions contained in the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan to be completed.

q 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)

q 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.

q The Preliminary Notice of Potential Conversion of Important Farmland was published May 19, 20, & 21, 2014 in the Creston News Advertiser providing a sepa-rate 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.

Copies of the Environmental Assessment can be reviewed or obtained at 511 W. 7th Street, Atlantic, Iowa 50022, (712) 243-2107. For further information, please contact Dee Fischer at (712) 243-2107.

make corrections and work at it. Even if it’s something that’s awkward and doesn’t feel comfortable, she stays at it and works. I think the proof is in the pudding there.”

McCabe also handed out a Coaches’ Award to Hood.

“We do that when we feel a kid is deserving,” he said. “Hannah had that major surgery, I think it was on March 26, on her shoulder. She knew she was not go-ing to get to do anything, and yet who was there ev-ery Sunday for hitting club? Hannah. Who’s there every morning for practice? Her. It was a real testament to her commitment and wanting to be a part of the team.”

LaMasters was named the varsity team’s Most Valu-able Player, while Mostek won the varsity team’s Spirit Award.

In addition, LaMasters earned Hawkeye 10 Player

of the Year honors from KMA, while McCabe was named the Coach of the Year by KMA for the Hawk-eye 10 Conference and the entire KMA coverage area.

BANQUET:


defense credited a jump in its performance to that study. The 2014 group has taken a similar outlook.

“I think there’s a lot of value in us not holding their hands all year-round,” Ferentz said. “I think it’s important for them to get away from us and for us to get away from them. I think that’s important for every-body.”

One recruit didn’t make it to Iowa City ... Running back Markel Smith (St. Louis) signed with Iowa in February, but didn’t qualify academically and so now, according to HawkeyeRe-port.com, is headed to prep

school at Milford Academy (New Berlin, N.Y.).

“We knew there was a chance that wouldn’t work out,” Ferentz said. “We knew that and it was a deci-sion in the recruiting process to follow through.”

Of course, there are no guarantees, but former Hawkeye Shonn Greene went the Milford path. In 2008, he set Iowa’s season records for yards (1,850) and TDs (20).

had players who were re-cruited by four-year col-lege programs through-out the United States and continues to keep in touch with many of them today. In addition, Krejci was the men’s basketball coach for eight years.

In September 1999, after 22 years at the helm, Krejci resigned from his position as head baseball coach and became athletic director/fundraiser at the college. During Krejci’s time in this role, he has increased fundraising for athletics tremendously by establish-ing two annual events—the Athletic Fundraiser Auc-tion and the SWCC Golf Tournament—as well as the Southwestern Athletic Booster Club.

These events and activi-ties, in addition to other fundraising efforts, have become traditions at the college bringing in $50,000-$55,000 for athletics each year.

Krejci said he is ex-tremely grateful for the tre-mendous support SWCC athletics has received throughout the years from individuals and businesses in Creston and throughout southwest Iowa, as well as from the college’s faculty and staff.

It was June 2009 when

Krejci retired from his full-time position as physical education instructor and athletic director.

He didn’t stay away long; however, coming back part-time as director of athletics and athletic fund-raising in August 2009.

Dr. Barb Crittenden, SWCC president, said she is proud of the progress SWCC athletics has made under Krejci’s direction.

“We have added a num-ber of athletic programs and activities during Bill’s tenure,” Crittenden said. “In his role as athletic di-rector, he has raised the expectations for event management and support for student-athletes at Southwestern. His efforts in fundraising have been an important part of this.”

Athletic programs added at SWCC during recent years have included cross country, drill team, golf, sports shooting, and track and field.

In addition to his duties at SWCC, Krejci has been very involved in the USA Baseball program. To date, he has been an 18-year na-tional coach, is a clinician for USA Baseball camps, and has been a cross check-er in the player selection process.

This year alone, Krejci traveled to Russia for 10 days in March to do coach-

ing clinics and just returned from a three-week stint in Mexico where he was the general manager for the 12U USA National Team. Krejci said he will remain involved in the baseball community and will con-tinue to work for USA Baseball after he leaves the college.

Crittenden said the col-lege has some big shoes to fill following Krejci’s de-parture.

“For 36 years, Bill has been a force in Southwest-ern athletics,” Crittenden said. “He has been com-mitted to the college and has always been willing to do whatever was needed at the time, from teaching to coaching to leading the athletic department. Bill has spent countless hours on campus. He and Teresa will be missed tremendous-ly.”

Krejci said he is sad to close this chapter of his life, but also excited about what a new athletic director will bring to the college.

“I just love this place,” Krejci said. “I’ve loved working here. I love the people. I wouldn’t be leav-ing if that wasn’t what my family needed me to do.”

Crittenden said the col-lege will advertise for a new athletic director and athletic fundraiser yet this week.
