Doug- las St., in Afton is adding a new way to enjoy their barbecued brisket, pulled pork and chicken — brick oven pizza. And if you live in Afton and don’t feel like leaving the house, Up in Smoke is now delivering their piz- zas on Friday and Saturday nights from 5 to 9 p.m. Owner Brad Jones said Up in Smoke has been making pizzas for about three weeks and said it has quick- ly become a popular choice on their menu. Customers have a choice between traditional top- pings such as hamburger, sausage, buffalo chicken and pepperoni or they can try the brick oven pizza with the barbecue meats. “It has been about a 50- 50 ratio for our barbecue toppings versus our tra- ditional pizza toppings,” Jones said. Right now all pizzas are served on a thin crust. Jones said it only takes four to five minutes to cook one of the pizzas in the brick oven, which can run on wood or propane. Jones said Up in Smoke will be adding another crust option soon that is a little thicker and puffs up around the outside of the pizza. “It will be more of a Ne- apolitan-style crust,” Jones said. “We are also switch- ing to a cheese that has a little bit of buffalo milk in it, which is just a really outstanding cheese. It was the best cheese topping we tried.” The new cheese topping requires a special order and takes two weeks for delievery, but Jones said once the first shipment ar- rives, they start a schedule to receive it regularly.

Regina KimpsonSpokane, Wash.
Regina (Gina) Kimpson p a s s e d a w a y p e a c e -fully on Thursday April 3rd, 2014 at S a c r e d H e a r t M e d i c a l Center in Spokane WA. Regina was born in Cres-ton, Iowa on December 10, 1942 to Floyd and Grace (Cupp) VanPelt. She grad-uated from Corning High School in 1961 & married Larry Kimpson on Septem-ber 24, 1961. They had two sons, Jeff and Greg. In 1968 the family relocated to Spo-kane Valley, WA. Regina and Larry later divorced in 1971. Regina was a dedicat-ed mother, and after divorc-ing, entered the work force to raise her two sons. She held several jobs in her life in the fields of bookkeeping and accounting, but spent the majority of her career at Spokane Teachers Credit Union where she retired in 2005 after 29 years of ser-vice.
After retiring Regina became a volunteer at Spo-kane County Regional Ani-mal Protection Services. (SCRAPS) On most Mon-days and Saturdays, Regina
was the first face you saw if you visited SCRAPS. Be-ing a dedicated Gonzaga Basketball fan, Regina was glued to the TV during televised games, but more than anything Regina loved animals, especially her dog Mattie. She touched many lives and was a dear friend to many. She will be remem-bered for her kind spirit and generous heart. She loved helping others and gave generously of her time. What she considered one of her greatest accomplish-ments in life was raising her two sons. Regina was a self-less giver and would often forego things herself to pro-vide for others. Family was very important to Regina and she attended numerous family reunions throughout the country. She was the “glue” keeping relatives in touch with one another and was always ready to talk to you to catch up with your life and family.
Left to cherish her mem-ory are two sons: Jeffery (Denise) Kimpson of Boise Idaho, and Gregory (Re-becca) Kimpson of Men-don, UT; 5 grandchildren; her sister Shirley Kimpson of Creston Iowa and nu-merous family & friends. Preceding Regina in death were her parents Floyd and Grace Van Pelt and an in-fant brother, Donald. Regi-na will be missed by all, but she will live on in our hearts forever.

Spring construction: Orange barricades block off sec-tions in the road that are being replaced on Montgomery Street in Creston Thursday afternoon.
Continued from Page 1
ConstructionPlant operation and main-
tenance could decrease from $1,503,000 in FY2014’s budget to $1,305,000 in FY2015’s budget.
There could be a de-crease from $5,375,212 to $1,600,000 for facilities ac-quisition and construction. This decrease is a result of finished construction on
school safe rooms.“Part of the bus barn
(costs) will actually come out of the 2013-2014 bud-get, and the rest will come out of the new budget,” Mc-Dermott said. “Construc-tion will start here in a few weeks.”
Part of the total cost of the bus barn will also be paid by insurance money after an April 2012 tornado damaged the building.

According to a Creston Police report, Henry was stopped for a traffic viola-tion on South Lincoln. Dur-ing the stop, officers de-tected nervous behavior consisting of shaking of the hands and her bottom lip trembling. Henry said she did not have her driver’s license on her, and officers asked her to follow them to the patrol car to identify her by running her name and date of birth. Dispatch said Henry was suspend-ed for non-payment of an Iowa fine. A double check of the license information was done and confirmed the suspension. Henry then consented to a search of her car and a small-caliber handgun was found next to the driver’s seat between the seat and door, and a glass pipe commonly used to smoke marijuana was found between the driver’s seat and the passenger’s seat. Plant material in the pipe was consistent with marijuana and Henry said she had used the pipe to smoke marijuana.

Saturday, April 12, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April
19) You are tempted to make decisions about your health or maybe your job today; however, it
is a poor day to do so. Just get more information and wait until tomorrow to decide.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a wonderfully cre-ative day! You are in touch with your muse. Enjoy the arts, movies, film, social occasions, sports and playful times with children.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might want to hide or cocoon at home today. Conversation with a female relative could be frank and disclosing. Nevertheless, avoid making commitments or important decisions.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Discussions with siblings, relatives and neighbors will be enjoyable today. People feel open to sharing ideas and information. However, this is a poor day to volunteer or agree to anything.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Try to avoid important financial decisions today. This is a poor day for major expenditures, especially in the afternoon. Keep your money, and spend it tomorrow.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You feel emotional about something today. However, this is a good day to entertain others and go along for the ride without having any responsi-bilities (if you can swing that).
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is the perfect day to just tread water and go with the flow. Make no commitments. Volunteer for nothing. Avoid major decisions. (You get the picture.)
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Conversations with a female acquaintance or a close female friend will be enjoy-able today because you won’t hold back. People are ready to divulge things in a frank, hon-est manner.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be careful today. Personal details about your pri-vate life might be made public. This could catch you off guard. Above all, do not overreact. Be cool.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Don’t let someone talk you into something today, especial-ly involving politics, religion, medicine or the law. Be skepti-
cal! Sleep on any important decision until tomorrow.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a poor day to divide anything or discuss how to share jointly held property. Just get more information, and postpone your decision until tomorrow.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Others will want you to cooper-ate with them today, and you can. But do not agree to any-thing important. Sign nothing. Volunteer for nothing. It’s best to just listen.
YOU BORN TODAY You are
diplomatic because you sense what’s going on around you and you are socially aware. You are interested in current events and love to express your own opinions. You also are happy to be the center of attention. This year, a major change might take place. It is a time of expansion and pro-motion. Get ready to test your wings!

Dear Readers: We can do a lot with our SMART-PHONES these days — access the Internet, social media, email, bank accounts, etc. But there is a lot of personal infor-mation stored on your phone — banking, credit cards, etc. — that can make losing your phone really scary, as well as a possible identity threat. Here are some hints to help to help protect your personal infor-mation as much as possible:
• Set a password or swipe pattern on your phone. It takes only a second or two to “unlock” your phone.
• Be careful what you access on your phone. You may want to monitor or check bank ac-counts and credit-card info on your home computer rather than doing it all on your cell-phone.
• If you lose your phone, someone may be able to find out all of your personal infor-mation. Think twice before putting all of your financial and personal info on your cell-phone.
If you lose your phone, what information is on there? How many times do we just “speed dial” and not really have all of that information in another place? Sounds silly, but stop
right now and try to remem-ber a friend’s phone number.
Of course, call the carrier right away so it can shut down the service.
Just like with everything else, try as much as you can to take steps to protect your per-sonal information.
Every roadblock you can throw up is a tiny step that, in the long run, may prevent you from becoming a victim of identity theft. — Heloise
P.S.: While on this subject, can you state right now how many credit cards you have in your wallet? If you had to call and cancel or let the credit-card company know that there might be a problem, can you put your hands on all of the needed information?
ing using an e-boarding pass, it often can be cumbersome to turn on my phone, open email, go to the airline website and find the boarding-pass code. What I do before I go to the airport is take a screen-shot of the code and set it as the background image of my phone’s lock screen. That way, I can just press one button to display the image without needing to go through a lot of screens. — Laurel in South Bend, Ind.
TOO DARK TO SEEDear Heloise: I purchase
bright- colored eyewear cases and wallets so that they are easy to see against the black interior of my car. I’ve “lost” numerous black items because I couldn’t see them. — A Reader in Ohio
This is a very good hint, and also would help you find things inside a dark-lined purse or bag. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have had to “go on safari” to find just what I needed in my purse! — Heloise

HEALTHHEALTH
Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen column feature brought to you by Hammer Medical Supply of CrestonDr. Oz and Dr. Roizen column feature brought to you by Hammer Medical Supply of Creston
(BPT) — Although many people workout, eat the right foods and are very concerned about their over-all health, one important factor is often overlooked: sleep. In today’s 24/7 world, people are often going right up until they have to go to bed‚ leaving them unable to turn off their minds. In fact, according to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), 41 percent of Americans report having problems with toss-ing and turning at least a few nights a week.
Many people are aware of the benefits of sleep, but with a variety of distractions it can be difficult for them to relax in order to fall asleep. In fact, a recent Health-care Research & Analytics (HRA) survey found that 57 percent of doctors reported one of their patients‚ biggest hindrances to falling asleep is engaging with electronics such as phones, computers, iPads and the television too close to bedtime.
Often people jump to drastic measures to help with sleep issues, but what many do not realize is great sleep can start with simple solutions, like creating an ideal sleep environment that helps them relax. According
to a survey conducted by HRA, 100 percent of doc-tors agree that an appropri-ate sleeping environment is critical to aiding a person’s ability to relax so they can fall asleep. What’s more is that half of physicians would recommend their patients use clean, lavender scented bedtime fabrics as a way to help them relax so they can fall asleep.
Sleep plays a vital role in good health throughout your lifetime - and getting enough quality sleep can help protect your men-tal health, physical health, quality of life, and safety, says Dr. Ian Smith, celeb-rity physician and wellness expert. One of the best ways to commit to a great night’s sleep is by creating an ap-propriate sleep environ-ment that helps people re-lax. That’s why I’m excited to share simple solutions for creating a relaxing sleep environment, including us-ing the P&G Sweet Dreams Collection on your bedtime fabrics.
Understanding that so many people are taunted by a sleep that never seems to come, P&G created the Sweet Dreams Collection, all official products of the
National Sleep Foundation. The Sweet Dreams Collec-tion including: Tide plus A touch of Downy Sweet Dreams, Downy UNSTOP-ABLES Dreams, Downy Infusions Sweet Dreams and Bounce Sweet Dreams is formulated with ingre-dients to clean, soften and freshen bedtime fabrics, in-cluding sheets and pajamas, to help create an ideal sleep environment.
Here are some additional tips to help you tuck in and turn off at the end of a busy day:
• Turn-off electronics: Many people lie in bed and check their phones and
iPads before falling asleep, but the use of these elec-tronics can have negative ef-fects on a person’s ability to fall asleep. Turning off tech-nology at least 30 minutes before bedtime will help you fall asleep.
• Create an ideal sleep en-vironment: People can take simple steps toward getting a great night’s sleep by first looking at their sleep en-vironment. According to a recent HRA poll of doc-tors, the top three recom-mendations they would give their patients for creating an appropriate sleeping en-vironment are keeping the room quiet, using a good
mattress and pillow, and keeping the room tempera-ture controlled. Addition-ally, great sleep can start in the laundry room and a simple switch in caring for bedtime fabrics can make a big difference. After all, 71 percent of Americans say they get a more comfortable night’s sleep on sheets with a fresh scent, according to a poll conducted by the NSF. The Sweet Dreams Collec-tion is formulated to allow everyone to create a relax-ing sleep environment with fresh, clean, lavender and gourmand vanilla scented linens to help them fall asleep.
• Set the clock: Establish a bedtime hour for each family member to help train their body to relax at the same time each night so they can fall asleep. The NSF recommends doing this every day of the week, in-cluding the weekends.
• Don’t push it: Tossing and turning can lead to agi-tation and additional loss of sleep. If you’re unable to fall asleep immediately, go to a different room to relax the body and mind. Keep the electronics unplugged, and consider reading a book or meditating. Once relaxed, head back to bed for a great night of sleep.
If you ever wondered whether music could help protect your health, con-sider the life of Maria von Trapp — “Louisa” in The Sound of Music. The last of the singing von Trapp children, she passed away this year at 99, more than three-quarters of a century after fleeing Nazi-occupied Austria.
But you don’t have to be a world-famous talent to let music soothe the sav-age beasts of anxiety, pain and depression, and fill you with a feeling of wellness and energy. A recent study out of the U.K. shows that sing-alongs can ease physi-cal discomfort and psycho-logical distress in folks 65 and older who are receiving nursing care for everything from dementia to heart disease. Premature babies seem to breathe, feed and sleep better when lullabies or soothing oceans sounds are brought into the NICU (not too loud, though). And cancer patients report less nausea and lower blood pressure after chemo when they listen to classical tunes.
So if you’re feeling stressed, are recuperating post-op or are making a push to get healthier now, try this:
—Set aside 10 minutes daily for singing, playing or listening to music that calms you. (No angry lyrics or ag-gressive rhythms.)
—Let your mind and breathing follow the melody or drift into the sounds, put-ting aside specific worries or thoughts.
—Trying to change a be-havior or accomplish a goal such as quitting smoking?
Tell yourself, “My urge to breathe free is enhanced by the notes.”
You’ll be amazed at how much more energy and fo-cus you have when the mu-sic stops!
DON’T BET YOUR LIFE
Groucho Marx hosted “You Bet Your Life” from 1950-1961, but he wasn’t a big fan — even of his own work. (“I find television very educational. Every time someone switches it on, I go into another room and read a good book.”) Although TV may have you betting your life (and brain) every time you tune in, it’s not the watching that’s the problem (too bad Groucho never saw Dr. Oz’s brain-stimulating show); it’s that you sit for hours at a time.
A recent study concluded that every hour spent sitting in front of the TV shortens your life by 22 minutes. An average North American adult watches nine years of TV over a lifetime. So, if you’re sitting in front of the TV for that long, you’re like-ly to die about three years earlier than someone who puts in no TV time (unless he or she misses the tornado warning.) Why? Sitting on the couch hour after hour erases muscle tone, slows metabolism and makes fat cells suck in extra fat. That leads to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, dementia — and a lousy sex life.
But you can tune in to better health. Try walking around the room while you watch your favorite pro-gram! Walking for 10 extra minutes a day can add two years to your life; walking an extra 45 minutes daily adds five years! (Aim for 10,000 steps daily.) At home, pedal through a “House of Cards” marathon on a stationary bike. We “Bet Your Life” and your RealAge get younger.
SWEATING OUT HOR-MONE THERAPY RISKS
Forty-two years ago, when “All in the Family’s” Edith Bunker (Jean Staple-ton) headed for menopause, she declared, “I feel like I’m jumping in and out of a hot maze and somebody’s twist-ing a rubber band around my head.”
Back then, we were try-ing to figure out how best to manage menopause symptoms and determine IF there were risks associated with hormone therapy. Now we know the first line of defense against hot flashes, brain fog and heart palpita-tions is losing weight if you need to, avoiding inflam-matory saturated and trans fats and added sugars and syrups, and getting moder-ate exercise to reset your thermostat to “cooler.”
We also know (after years of debate) that women who aren’t at increased risk for breast cancer or heart dis-ease can benefit from HT.
Therapy should start before age 60, last for up to five years and deliver bioequiva-lent estrogen and micron-ized progesterone (if you have a uterus) in the lowest effective dose.
Unfortunately, a woman’s stroke risk doubles during the 10 years after her peri-ods stop. And taking HT seems to increase that risk. That’s why we suggest that you ask your doc about tak-ing two low-dose aspirins a day while on HT. And new research reveals another way to make HT safe for you: Getting 210-300 min-utes of moderate exercise (walking) per week. It re-duces your stroke risk by 20 percent right away. So if menopause symptoms are interfering with sleep, work, your love life and your happiness, talk to your doc about all these ways to “stifle” it.
WHO SHOULD GET A F.I.T. AT 40?
Pictures of lava tubes that meander through the in-nards of the Moon reveal safe havens where future astronauts might sleep, pro-tected from radiation and meteorites. Images of your inner passageways also pro-tect you from danger: Colo-noscopies that send a tiny camera through your large intestines can ID benign polyps, potential “seeds” of colon cancer. (Both of us had polyps removed when we had our 50th birthday scopes done.) Finding and removing these polyps — called adenomas — may be the main reason overall co-lon cancer rates in the U.S. have declined (2.8 percent per year for men and 2.2
percent per year for wom-en) every year since 1988.
But there’s one prob-lem: Since colonoscopies are recommended for most folks starting at age 50 (ear-lier if colon cancer is in your family), younger people aren’t aware of their risk, and it’s increasing, as more and more young adults are overweight. Among 20- to 49-year-olds, colon cancer rates went up 1.5 percent per year for men and 1.6 percent per year for women from 1992 to 2005.
So here’s a smart move: If you’re 40-50 and overweight or obese, consider getting FIT every year. The fecal immunochemical test (FIT) costs $22 — if insurance doesn’t pay — and can be done easily at home. A stool test kit is mailed to you; you fill the pouch and mail it back. If you do the test an-nually, it can ID possible colon cancer early, when it’s much easier to treat and cure. That should FIT your schedule!
CONSUMER BEE-WARE FAKE HONEY
Tupelo Honey is a pre-mium American sweet — and, some say, it’s Van Morrison’s best album. But it’s cheap ($16 for 12 ounces) compared to Elvish honey from Turkey, which runs about $194 an ounce. This new global market for super-honey is why North American consumers should BEEware. There’s a buzz about counterfeit honey flooding our grocery store shelves, and it’s threatening not just your enjoyment of a cuppa tea — and your wallet — but it could sap honey’s health benefits.
Since we stopped China from dumping cheap honey on the U.S. market, they’ve started selling it to other countries, where it’s re-packaged after distributors wave local fruit or herbs over it and declare it to be “Genuine Exotic Honey.” When it shows up here, it’s been filtered, so pollen (and some healthy ingredients) has been removed. There’s no way to check its origin (pollen is honey’s “DNA” fingerprint).
The sweet solution? Sen-ate bill S-662 is designed to protect farmers from un-scrupulous overseas honey exporters; let’s hope it passes. But whether it does or not, you should opt for local, raw or unfiltered hon-ey that still contains all the healthy ingredients. If you aren’t overweight or don’t have prediabetes or diabe-tes, honey’s high glycemic index — it’s 70 percent to 80 percent sugar — shouldn’t prevent you from occasion-ally enjoying a small (less than 1/2 teaspoon) amount. It can help suppress a cough, ease heartburn, promote sleep and boost immunity (try drinking a tiny amount of honey and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice in a 1/2 cup of hot water). Sweet!

Panther boys golf survives early test from AtlanticBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]
The defending Class 2A state champion Creston/Orient-Macksburg golf team faced a tough early season opponent here Thursday, hosting Hawkeye 10 Con-ference rival Atlantic.
The Panthers survived the early test, knocking off the Trojans 135-140 at Pine Valley.
“A great start to the golf season with a win over At-lantic,” Creston/O-M head coach Jan Lesan said. “63 degrees and a slight wind. Great day for golf.”
Four players shot even par 32 or better, including defending individual state champion Carson Whitting-ton.
Whittington shot 1-un-der par 31, as did Atlantic’s Evan Schuler.
The tiebreaker for medal-ist honors went to the handi-cap hole, which was the 310-yard par 4 fourth hole.
Whittington, whose tee shot carried the pond and landed just past the green, chipped to within 15 feet and sank a birdie putt. Schuler recorded a par on the hole.
Panther senior Hunter Sickels shot even par 32, as did Atlantic’s Kyle Nelson.
But, the third and fourth Panther scorers were able to edge out Atlantic’s third and fourth scorers to give Creston/O-M with five-
stroke win.Junior Christian Grou-
moutis shot a 3-over par 35, while freshman Kyle Somers recorded a 5-over par 37.
“Kyle Somers five-putted the first green, but then he settled down,” Lesan said.
Rounding out the varsity lineup for the Panthers, Sam Hartsock and Maxx Walters each recorded scores of 38.
“Maxx and Sam were not happy with 6-over,” Lesan said. “Both had only a couple of holes apiece that caused problems. They will bounce back.”
Senior Evan Nielsen, who competed at the JV level Thursday, posted a round of 2-over par 34.
“Evan Nielsen, a varsity player playing JV tonight, showed poise,” Lesan said.
The Panthers return to action Tuesday at Winter-set against the Huskies and Clarke.
GirlsWith just three golf-
ers available for Thurs-day’s meet at Atlantic, the Creston/O-M girls golf team was unable to post a team score. Atlantic recorded a team score of 171.
“Our first outing of the season went OK,” Creston/O-M assistant coach Kristopher “Krit-ter” Hayes said. “The three girls that were able to go to Atlantic all did some nice things on the course. All three are aware of the things they can iron out to lower their scores. There were a
lot of positives and room to improve.”
Senior Sarah Waigand led the Panthers with a round of 50. Junior Hannah Hagle posted a score of 60 and sophomore Camryn Somers shot a round of 63.
It was the first golf com-petition for both Hagle and Somers in their high school careers.
Medalist honors went to Atlantic’s Brooke Fletcher,
who shot a 2-over par 35.“It was nice getting
back out there compet-ing,” Waigand said. “I was proud of our effort against a solid Atlantic girls team. We think we could compete with most of the teams in the Hawkeye 10 if we have our full team together to post a team score.”

Panthers battle with No. 12 Valley girlsBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]
Creston’s girls soccer team faced a daunting task Thursday on a nice sun-splashed evening at Pan-ther Field.
Nodaway Valley/West Central Valley/Adair-Casey came in ranked 12th in the state in Class 1A. Off to a 2-0 start, Valley had outshot its opponents 64-6 while holding a 12-1 scoring advantage in the two victo-ries.
This is a powerful, speedy
team and for more than 40 minutes the underdog Pan-thers held their own.
Valley held a modest 2-0 lead at halftime, and it was still 3-0 with more than 10 minutes elapsed in the
Irr scores in overtime for CrestonBy LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]
STUART — It was a physical war for much of the night, but in the end the Creston Panthers took a 1-0 overtime victory over host West Central Valley boys
here Thursday.With 23 seconds left in
the first o v e r -time, the Panthers f i n a l l y broke the scoreless d e a d -lock in a
scramble off a throw-in by Levi Eblen. Freshman Ben Irr settled the ball with a touch, and then blasted it into the net from about 35 yards out.
“The ball kind of knuck-led and the keeper lost it in
Fast times at Red Oak HighPanthers take advantage of competition, good weather to post fast timesBy SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]
RED OAK — After a disappointing result at Clar-inda on Tuesday, the Cres-ton girls track team bounced back here Thursday with a much better performance at the Lady Tiger Relays.
Creston finished third in the team standings in Class AA with 86 points. South-west Valley finished seventh with 39 points.
“The other night, we weren’t bad,” Creston head coach Clay Arnold said. “We just weren’t quite as sharp as we expect. We shored some things up and we got great weather. It was a beautiful, warm night with no wind. Fast track and we ran fast times.”
One of the biggest high-lights of the night for the Panthers came in the open 800 meters, as freshman Lexie Lit-tle ran a big 5-sec-ond PR to take sec-ond place b e h i n d Red Oak’s K a t e Walker.
Walker ran 2:29.97 to edge out Little’s 2:31.51. Little led through the first lap and bat-tled with Walker throughout the second lap.
“There were a lot of great performances for the night, but Lexie Little in the open 800 was not to be denied,” Arnold said. “Lexie is kind of trying to be the third trip-let in the Mostek family. The Red Oak girl, she beat Ma-ria (Mostek) down there at Clarinda the other night in the open 800. Little was not going to be scared of her at all.”
The Panthers also re-ceived a boost with the re-turn of Natalie Mostek to the lineup, after the Cres-
ton junior missed Tuesday’s meet with illness.
Her presence was felt right away as she won the high jump by clearing 4-10. She also ran strong anchor legs on the distance medley and sprint medley relays.
Natalie Mostek ran 2:30.83 for the 800 leg of the d i s t a n c e m e d l e y and ran 1:04.8 for the 400 leg of the s p r i n t medley.
“Really encouraging that after being sick, she could pick up right where she left off,” Arnold said.
Maria Mostek won the 3,000 meters in 11:57.01 and took second place in the 1,500 meters in 5:15.07.
Sophomore Amber Cas-tillo continued her string of impressive performances by helping the shuttle hurdle relay team to third place with the team’s first sub-18 split of the season.
Castillo and Josie Sickels ran the two fastest 200 meter splits of the season for the Panthers in leading Creston to third place in the 4x200 relay. Sickels ran 28.08 and Castillo ran 28.16.
Running the 400 meter h u r d l e s for the first time in her ca-reer, Cas-tillo took sixth place in 1:17.14 out of the slow heat.
In the 100 hurdles, fresh-man Leah Schuler ran a new personal best time by 2.3 seconds, finishing seventh in 18.61.

Haas leadsAUGUSTA, Ga.
— Adam Scott soaked in the applause, with cheers greeting him on every fairway and every green before receiving what amounts to golf’s version of a standing ovation as he walked up the hill to the 12th tee.
The spectators that gather at the apex of Au-gusta National’s Amen Corner rose out of their seats as he approached, a memory that the defend-ing Masters champion said Thursday would stick with him forever.
“Then I went and hit it in the water,” Scott said, shaking his head, laugh-ing.
It might have ruined the moment, but it didn’t ruin the round for Scott, who shot 3-under-par 69 to trail Bill Haasby a stroke on a tricky first day at the Masters.
Haas, 31, who attended the Masters for years to watch his father, Jay, com-pete in the tournament, set the pace with a 68 that included a birdie at the 18th hole.
It was the first time Haas shot in the 60s in his 17th round at Augusta National, and was good for the one-stroke advan-tage over a trio of major champions — Scott, Louis Oosthuizen and Bubba Watson. Watson was the only player without a bo-gey on his card.Kaepernick investigation
MIAMI — San Francis-co 49ers quarterback Co-lin Kaepernick and two other NFL players are be-ing investigated by Miami police for an incident ear-lier this month at a Miami hotel.
No arrests have been made, and no charges have been filed.
According to an in-cident report filed with Miami police on Friday, an unnamed woman said she had an encounter with Kaepernick, 49ers wide receiver Quinton Patton and Seattle Se-ahawks receiver Ricardo Lockette on April 1 at the Viceroy in downtown Miami. The woman told police she spent time with the three players, drinking and smoking marijuana in Lockette’s apartment and eventually ending up in a bedroom with Kaeper-nick.Spurs win
DALLAS — Patty Mills scored 26 points starting in place of Tony Parker and the Spurs moved to the brink of the top seed in the Western Conference while likely forcing the Mavericks into a must-win situation with their playoff hopes by beating Dallas 109-100 on Thursday night.
Making his second start of the season and seventh of his career with Parker nursing a bad back, Mills had 11 points and a pair of steals in the third quarter when the Spurs turned a two-point deficit into an 11-point lead.
The Spurs beat the Mavericks for the ninth straight time in the regu-lar season, a streak that has lasted more than two years.
Tim Duncan had 20 points and 15 rebounds after leaving briefly in the first quarter.

Panthers, Atlantic split tennis duals By LARRY PETERSONCNA sports writer • [email protected]
Creston and Atlantic ten-nis teams split their season openers Thursday, with the Trojan boys winning 6-3 at the Southwestern courts, while the Panther girls trav-eled to Atlantic and secured a 7-2 victory.
Creston girls won four of the six singles matches, in-cluding an 8-3 triumph by sophomore Jenna Taylor at No. 1 singles. The Pan-thers swept all three doubles matches.
“The best weather we have had yet this season minimized problems for both teams,” Panther assis-tant coach Amanda Plymale said. “Jenna Taylor repre-sented Creston very well by knocking out Atlantic’s returning senior, Leah Tj-epkes, at the number one spot.”
Ashley Harris came back from a 3-0 deficit to win 8-3 at No. 4 singles. Plym-ale said all three doubles teams attacked the net to keep their points short. Two sophomore doubles teams also prevailed in JV doubles action.
The depth in the Panther lineup was evident in Angie Sorensen and Caitlin Mc-Ilravy combining for a 16-1 margin over Atlantic’s fifth and sixth players, and team-ing up for an 8-0 doubles victory.
“Our team has a lot of po-tential this year and I am ex-cited for this season,” Plym-ale said.
Garret Taylor won the final four games to prevail 10-7 in his new role at No.
1 singles for the Panther boys, but Atlantic went into doubles play with a 4-2 lead. Taylor teamed with Chantz Davidson to win 10-6 at No. 1 doubles.
“Tonight was an absolute perfect night to play ten-nis,” Panther coach Kevin Cooper said. “We had five guys playing their first var-sity meet, so it was good to get the nervousness out of the way. We ended up los-ing the meet, but we had our chances. I felt like we did some things well, and we have a lot we can improve on.”
The Creston teams play Southwest Valley on Mon-day, with the girls at Corn-ing and the boys in Creston.

Tuesday night, after the Panthers led the entire race before a botched handoff in the final exchange dropped the Panthers to second.
Thursday, the team of Jami Sickels, Natalie Mo-stek, Chelcee Downing and Raegen Smith ran 4:25.21 to edge Council Bluffs St. Al-bert by 2.7 seconds for the win.
“For the past 48 hours, we’ve had nothing on our minds but redemption in the 4x4,” Arnold said. “That was a very, very happy mo-ment for us to get back on track.”
Creston returns to action Monday at the home Lady Panther Relays.
“Monday night at our home meet, it’s going to be the best competition we’ve had all year and at our home meet,” Arnold said. “We added, this year, Interstate 35, which has a great pro-gram. We added Center-ville. Late pickup, we’ve got the Harlan Cyclones coming down.
“Should be an excellent meet for any spectator to come watch,” Arnold con-tinued. “A lot of good teams, a lot of quality individuals. I guarantee a lot of teams are going to be trying to qualify events for Drake. Going to be an excellent field.”Area results
Southwest Valley senior Sydney Maynes won the Class AA 200 meter dash, running 27.91.

second half after an early reset boot by Hailey Gross.
Then, the Creston defense seemed to lose some energy around the 25-minute mark. Goalkeeper Sadie Jones, who finished with 11 saves against 17 Valley shots, caught many of the attempts, but in the end Valley just kept peppering with too much pressure and ended up with a 6-0 victory.
Valley improves to 3-0, while Creston falls to 0-3 over-all.
“We got tired,” Cres-ton coach Kim Lauffer said. “We’re working with quite a few JV kids to get in, because I’m impressed with what we are seeing, but if you take someone like Hanna Luther or Alyssa Higgins out of our defense, we lose a lot of speed and accuracy you need against a team like that.
“Still, to be able to com-pete like we did is exciting,” Lauffer added. “Now we have to step it up. We haven’t worked a lot on our offense yet because we spent the first few weeks pushing defense so much, to contain teams like this. I’m excited about the things we are doing well. There are little mistakes we can fix.”
Valley outshot the Panthers 24-4. While Jones was busy with 23 saves, Valley keeper Kassidy Baudler withstood much less pressure with three saves.
Jenna Hayes, Hanna Lu-ther, Savannah Hartman and Angelica Claytor had shots for Creston.
Hailey Gross scored two
goals for Valley, in-cluding the first one af-ter neither d e f e n s e had been dented for 17 min-utes. Allie Doud’s goal with 12:40 left in the half made it 2-0 at inter-mission.
Gross, Madi Foster, Logan Jensen and Josi Ocheltree scored for Valley in the sec-ond half. Coach Mike Kraw-czyk inserted mass substitu-tions after the fifth goal.
“The girls did a great job to-night,” Krawczyk said. “The first half we took awhile to settle down, but when we did the girls crossed and passed a lot better. The second half we really controlled things. OUr defense did an outstanding job.”
The JV match ended in a 1-1 tie. Toni VanScoy scored for Creston on an assist by Bretta Shawler. Becca Ross was goalkeeper in a strong de-fensive effort.
Creston, 0-2 in Hawkeye 10 play, travels to Carroll Tuesday to take on Kuemper Catholic (2-0) before hosting Denison-Schleswig in a girl-boy doubleheader Thursday.

the air, and it it went over his head,” Creston coach Jesus Rodriguez said. “Give credit to our defense. No goals. They played great. It was nice to have Tayler Pettit back. Brant Hudson played his best game of the season, and Kaleb Cook did great, too.”
Conner Pals had four total shots on a night when of-fensive runs were difficult to generate.
“We couldn’t pass the ball without getting bumped from behind, or knocked over,” Rodriguez said. “Fi-nally, they got a couple of yellow cards, and we started playing our game a little more.”
Alex Nielsen had six saves in the shutout victory.
The JV squads played one
half that ended in a 1-1 tie. Skylar Cook got the Creston goal on an assist by Tyler Helm. Jake Miller was goal-keeper.
The makeup home match against Underwood will be Tuesday, followed by Den-ison-Schleswig in a girl-boy doubleheader on Thursday. Both opponents are among the toughest on the sched-ule this season. Underwood, ranked 14th in Class 1A, earlier beat Atlantic, 5-4, and rolled past Nodaway Valley Thursday night, 7-1.

Sports briefs Spartans swept
CEDAR RAPIDS — Kirkwood kept a stronghold on first place in the ICCAC softball standings with an 11-2, 9-1 sweep of South-western Wednesday. Both games were five innings.
The nationally-ranked Eagles improved to 15-1 in league play and 36-5 overall, while the Spartans fell to 5-9 and 11-14.
Ashley Gibbs and Peyton Russell hit home runs for Southwestern in the opener. Emma Ferrin stroked a dou-ble in the nightcap.
Southwestern is scheduled
to play Central Nebraska Community College today at home, but the coaching staff said Saturday’s con-ference game at Iowa Cen-tral was changed to today because of rain forecast on Saturday. So, the Central doubleheader is cancelled.Free camps
