Gas tax, mental health CNA wins dominate legislative coffee seven awards in INA contest

UPCOMING COFFEES

The next legislative coffee is scheduled for 8 a.m. March 7 at the restored depot in Creston. The final legislative coffee is April 4.

A 23-year statehouse veteran and a newly-elected state senator fielded a variety of questions from area constituents at the first legislative coffee at the restored depot Saturday morning in Creston.

Dominating the conversation with Iowa Rep. Jack Drake, R-Griswold, and Iowa Senator Tom Shipley, R-Nodaway, was the possibility of a gas tax to maintain Iowa’s infrastructure and the future of mental health care. “ T h e Drake gas tax is constitutionally protected,” Drake said. “It has to be used for the roads, it can’t be used elsewhere.”

Shipley said he has received a lot of support for an increase in the gas tax.

One option he did not support was an increase of onetime money in the general fund that could be used for road maintenance.

Iowa District 11 Senator Tom Shipley, R-Nodaway, speaks with a constituent following the first legislative coffee of the 2015 session at the restored depot Saturday morning. Shipley, who replaced Hubert Houser, fielded questions with Iowa Rep. Jack Drake, R-Griswold.

“We can put more money in the pot, the general fund, but once it is there you might end up building a swimming pool in Waterloo out of it even though that’s not what it was intended for,” Shipley said. “Once it is there, people find creative ways to get that out to do something else.”

Another option would be

adding to the sales tax percentage on fuel. However, those dollars can be split to go toward parks and trails along with infrastructure.

Drake added there has been discussion of a registration fee or a meter to track how much electric cars use the roads.

One concern Shipley and Drake shared was the pos-

sibility of a federal fuel tax and what earmarks those dollars would include.

“Some of that federal money comes down with so many strings attached to it,” Shipley said. “If we could get the strings taken off that and be able to spend it the way we want to, that would help.”

Mental heath Nancy James, a nurse and instructor at Southwestern Community College, voiced her concern on the future of mental health in southern Iowa.

“I think that closing that center (Clarinda) and maybe Mount Pleasant as well, is going to create hardships for people who have mental hardships in southern Iowa,” James said. “We need to have some hospital or some institution and take

County debt levels will be part of road funding debate DES MOINES (AP) — The amount Iowa counties borrow to repair their roads and bridges may be a key factor in the debate over whether to increase the state fuel tax.

The Des Moines Register

reports Winnebago, Worth, Mitchell and Howard counties all carry large road construction debts.

State lawmakers are weighing a couple different proposals to increase the amount of money devoted

to road maintenance.

The Iowa State Association of County Supervisors says counties don’t want to borrow for road projects, but in some corners of the state officials didn’t see another option.

Worth County carries the highest debt at $25.4 million.

That translates into $3,366 per resident of the county.

By contrast, 17 Iowa counties carry no debt, and 27 other counties have less than $100 debt per resident.

This is the ad that won best web advertisement in the Iowa Newspaper Association Better Newspaper Contests.

with the Distinguished Service Award at this year’s convention — one of the most prestigious awards given to newspaper professionals by the Iowa Newspaper Association.

Peterson is currently in his 35th year in the newspaper industry. He’s covered more than 3,000 high school games and events in his career including numerous state championship teams

and more than 100 individual state champions.

The selection committee stated the following about Peterson: “He is a journalist with a reputation for accuracy, fairness, dedication and is an all around stand-up individual.”

Peterson becomes only the third employee from the Creston News Advertiser to win this award. The other two were Harold Roberts (1986) and Connie White (2005).

a look at acute care.”

The issue hits close to home for Shipley, who has been closely following the future of the Clarinda mental health institution.

The Clarinda hospital now has 15 beds for adults with acute psychiatric illnesses, plus 20 beds for elderly psychiatric patients. It has 76 employees and an $8.5 million budget.

“I share the concerns about where these people are going to go (for services),” Shipley said. “It doesn’t sound very promising.”

While state legislators work on a budget plan to fund mental health and establish regional care, the financial burden is put onto

the counties.

“I have heard a lot from the counties about having to transport patients,” Drake said. “It has been quite and expense for the counties and it looks like it is going to get worse for our southern counties.”

James said she opposes the proposal of using nursing homes for mental health patients because it is “inappropriate and unfair” to the patients in need of care and the residents in the nursing homes.

The next legislative coffee is scheduled for 8 a.m.

March 7 at the restored depot in Creston.

PRINTED WITH

The United States is currently experiencing a large, multi-state outbreak of measles linked to an amusement park in California.

More than 100 people from 14 states in the U.S. have been confirmed as having measles. As of Feb. 5, there are no confirmed measles cases in Iowa.

“This national measles outbreak has brought the protection provided by vaccinations back into the spotlight,” said Union County Public Health Nurse Robin Sevier. “It’s always important to keep your vaccinations up-to-date, but during times like this, when we know a virus is circulating in many states, it’s especially critical to check with your health care provider to be sure you and your family’s vaccinations are current.”

The best way to prevent measles is to get the measles-mumps-rubella shot (called MMR). Two doses of MMR will provide more than 99 percent of people lifelong protection against measles.

Two doses of MMR are required for elementary and secondary school entry in Iowa. The first dose should be given at 12 months of age and the second dose can be administered as soon as 28 days later (however the second dose is usually administered as part of the kindergarten shots given between 4-6 years of age). Generally, people who started elementary school in Iowa after 1991 and were up-to-date on all school entry vaccine requirements have received two doses of MMR vaccine.

It is recommended that adults born in 1957 or later receive at least one dose of MMR vaccine, or have

a laboratory test proving that they are immune and are protected. It is assumed that people born in the U.S. prior to 1957 were likely infected with the measles virus and therefore have presumptive immunity.

In addition, two doses of MMR are recommended for adults of all ages who work or volunteer in health care facilities, travel internationally, or are students in a post-secondary institution, if they do not have laboratory proof of immunity.

Giving vaccines to those who may have already had measles or may have already received the recommended vaccination is not harmful; it only boosts immunity. Therefore, if someone is unable to verify prior vaccination or history of illness, the easiest, quickest and most appropriate thing to do is to vaccinate the individual.

Measles starts with a high fever. Soon after, it causes a cough, runny nose and red eyes. Three to seven days after the fever, a rash of tiny, red spots breaks out.

It usually starts at the head and spreads to the rest of the body. The rash can last for a week, and coughing can last for 10 days.

Measles is one of the most infectious diseases on earth; this is why Greater Regional Outreach/Union County Public Health and local public health agencies statewide work with the Iowa Department of Public Health to immediately alert the public about possible exposure to measles if a person is confirmed to have this disease. If a resident of Union County would have measles, all residents would be notified of places, times and locations where they could have been exposed, as well as locations of emergency vaccination clinics.

Greater Regional Outreach/Public Health offers vaccinations 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday in suite 105 in the Medical Arts Plaza and can be reached at 641-782-3545.

HAS YOUR CORN FARM

LOST MONEY? Despite China’s refusal to approve Syngenta’s GMO seed, Syngenta continued to sell its seed to U.S. corn farmers. When China banned U.S. corn imports, the price of corn fell dramatically, and corn farmers across the country lost BILLIONS of dollars.

We represent individual farmers.

Our team represented over 2000 individual farmers in the Rice GMO claim. We opposed the class action and secured more for the farmers we represented. Our group of lawyers will continue meeting with farmers with respect to each farmer’s individual Syngenta claim.

Panthers send 11 to district; gear up for dual regional here

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Creston/Orient-Macksburg will have an opportunity for a sixth straight trip to the State Dual Wrestling Tournament after winning the Class 2A sectional tournament it hosted Saturday.

The Panthers sent 11 wrestlers (seven champions) to next Saturday’s Class 2A district tournament in Atlantic in scoring 259.5 points.

Winterset held off Clarinda for the second regional dual qualifying spot with 212 points. Clarinda was third at 199.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association announced late Saturday night that the Panthers will host a 2A regional dual at 6 p.m. with the Panthers taking on Harlan sectional runner-up Missouri Valley, and sectional champ Atlantic facing Winterset. The winners then meet for a berth in the Feb. 18 State Dual Tournament.

Creston/O-M has appeared in five straight state duals, including the 2A

crown in 2007 and runner-up finishes in 2008 and 2011.

Heading to Atlantic on Saturday as sectional champs from the Hawkeye 10 champion and (dual) unbeaten Panther squad are Trevor Marlin (120 pounds), Spencer Wray (138), Joey Huntington (145), Chase Shiltz (160), Seth Maitlen (195), Kadon Hulett (220) and Jake Gutschenritter (285).

Also advancing as runners-up are Mitchel Swank (126), Wyatt Thompson (132), Cameron Leith (152) and Tayler Pettit (170).

Leith won a wrestleback bout for second with a 7-3 decision over Winterset’s Mitchell Holcomb. Another Panther who qualified for the wrestleback round, 106-pounder Kelby Luther, was pinned by Central Decatur’s Wyatt Dale.

Two Bedford/Lenox wrestlers advanced to the district tournament as sectional champions. No. 1-ranked Dusten Reed remained unbeaten by pinning his way to the 132-pound title.

He pinned Creston/O-M’s Thompson in 1:56 in the fi-

nals.

Fifth-ranked Jared Hensley pinned Winterset’s Britton Gibson in 2:31 for the title at 113 pounds.

“Both of those guys were really tough all day,” said Bedford/Lenox co-coach Gail Christensen. “We were hoping to get two or three other guys through, but it didn’t work out that way.

Our 182-pounder (Seth Willets) beat the No. 3-seeded guy in the first round, but then the Stickler kid from Clarinda beat him.”

Trey Stickler ended up taking second at 182 behind unbeaten Trenton Wells of Central Decatur. But he had to defeat Winterset’s Wyatt Miller in the wrestleback round, 7-2.

Weekend sweep for Creston boys Mostek returns in Creston loss

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

The Creston boys stayed on track for a share of second place in the Hawkeye 10 Conference with a league win over Red Oak at home Friday, before traveling to Atlantic for a comeback victory Saturday in what could be a preview of a district final matchup.

The Panthers improved to

6-3 in league play — with one game left against Harlan — in a 65-42 victory over the Tigers. Denison-Schleswig has clinched the league title at 8-2.

Creston improved to 13-5 overall on Saturday, using a 21-8 fourth quarter to overtake Atlantic, 53-45, and earn a season sweep of the district’s top seed. There could be a third meeting for a district title if the Trojans beat Glenwood and Creston gets past

Harlan in a district opener.

Creston trailed 14-6 in Saturday’s defensive battle at Atlantic, in contrast to the relatively easy 66-45 triumph at home over the Trojans on Dec. 12.

A 16-8 second quarter allowed the Panthers to pull into a 22-22 halftime tie, but the Trojans regained control Please see BOYS, page 8A

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

The good news for the Creston girls basketball team Friday was the return of senior Natalie Mostek for the first time in nearly a month.

But it wasn’t enough to overcome the talent on the Class 3A ninth-ranked Red Oak team in a 70-46 defeat.

The Panthers were hanging within range, trailing 50-42, when junior post player Jenna Taylor picked up her fifth foul contesting a shot from behind with 6:14 to play. Red Oak went on a 20-4 run from there in improving to 16-4 for the season.

(The Tigers had already completed a 6-4 league campaign, while Creston ended conference play in seventh place at 4-6.)

The play of the Panthers, now 9-10 overall, was encouraging for much of the game, coach Brent Douma said.

“They were hitting 3-pointers early on and we switched to man in the second half,” Douma said.

“We had some looks in the third quarter where we just did not finish. If we do, then it’s like a five-point game and you don’t know what

might happen. Then Jenna got in foul trouble, and without her the size difference is pretty big.”

Mostek had suffered a

grade two medial collateral ligament strain in her knee Please see GIRLS, page 8A

Creston senior Natalie Mostek rises for a jump shot over Red Oak 6-2 center Grace Blomstedt (33) during Friday’s game. Mostek appeared for the first time since Jan. 10 from an injury to her left knee, finishing with 12 points and four rebounds in the 70-46 loss.

Nine area wrestlers advance to 1A districts

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

LIBERTY CENTER — Eight area wrestlers claimed a spot in this weekend’s Class 1A District 2 Tournament by

placing in the top two of their respective weight classes here Saturday at the Class 1A Section 4 Tournament.

Meanwhile, Southwest Valley advanced one wrestler to the same District 2 Tournament from its Class

1A Section 3 Tournament in Audubon.

East Union and Nodaway Valley each advanced three wrestlers to the District 2 Tournament, which will take place Saturday in Truro, beginning at noon. Mount

Ayr sent only two wrestlers through to the district tournament, but finished third in the team standings.

Host Southeast Warren ran away with the team title, earning a spot in Tuesday’s Regional Dual Team Tournament. Interstate 35 earned the other spot by finishing second with 185.5 team points, 84.5 points back of Southeast Warren.

Moving on for East Union were Brogan Kinyon (170), Mike Ward (195) and Kessler Tomas (220). Nodaway Valley advanced Ben Freese (120), JD Lyman (126) and Dylan Cornelison (138).

Mount Ayr seniors Grant Staats (145) and Joe Ricker (285) advanced, while Southwest Valley senior Tyler Bissell (160) advanced from the sectional in Audubon.

East Union Kinyon, a senior, punched the first ticket to the district tournament for the Eagles.

CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER He opened the tournament East Union senior Brogan Kinyon works to keep control of TJ Dierking’s leg during their by pinning Nodaway Valley’s championship match at 170 pounds Saturday in Class 1A Sectional 4 action. Southeast Braxton Wallace in 3:41 and Warren’s Dierking won an 11-8 decision over Kinyon.

then winning a 4-3 decision over West Central Valley’s Gabe Wagner.

Kinyon’s finals match against Southeast Warren’s TJ Dierking went back and forth, with several lead changes. It was tied 8-8 in the final 20 seconds of the match, when Kinyon tried to tilt Dierking, who turned it into back points for himself, defeating Kinyon 11-8.

“He kind of put himself in a bad position at the end of the match,” head coach Steve Kinyon said. “He was right in it. He was trying to do a cheap tilt and the cheap tilts are cheap sometimes and it cheaps you.”

Ward made his way into the 195-pound finals with a pair of falls in the first minute of his quarterfinal and semifinal matches. The East Union junior lost by fall in 1:23 of his finals match against Southeast Warren’s Ty Schneider.

He then pinned Interstate 35’s Jake Hutton in 3:58 in the wrestleback match for true second place.

“Ty Schneider and he have

gone back and forth all year,” Kinyon said. “Mike’s kind of been on the short end, but usually gets a pretty good start.”

At 220 pounds, Tomas lost his first match of the day in the semifinals, as he was pinned by Southeast Warren’s Tate Van Dyne in 52 seconds. Tomas wrestled all the way back with a pin of Mount Ayr’s Logan Kelley, and then coming out on top of throw in the wrestleback, pinning Interstate 35’s Garrett Thompson in 1:27.

“Kessler Tomas, he was my dark horse,” Kinyon said.

“I had a feeling he could get through today. Him and Mike Ward finished with two pins.

That’s how you want it done.”

Nodaway Valley Freese won the 120-pound title for Nodaway Valley after a 10-7 semifinal win over Wayne’s Stetson Baker and a 2-0 win over Interstate 35’s Nathan Phillips in the finals.

“Ben had a kid in the finals he’s wrestled three times,” Wolverine head coach Jeff Ohnemus said. “Pretty smart kid. Knows what he’s going to do. Got a little frustrating there, not being able to score a lot of points, but he wrestled smart.”

Lyman pinned his way to the 126-pound finals, decking West Central Valley’s Tristin Winfred and East Union’s Matthew Wittstock in the first period. Interstate 35’s 10thranked Austin Pontier pinned Lyman in 5:11 of their championship match.

At 138 pounds, Cornelison lost his semifinal match 9-2 to Tanner Flesher of Southeast Warren, but wrestled all the way back for second place.

He won a 10-8 decision over Mount Ayr’s Jonathan Vanbuskirk and then earned a 10-1 major decision of I-35’s Jacob Steinlage.

“JD Lyman at 126 just wrestled hard all day,” Ohnemus said. “Got to his stuff, had a good day. Same with Dylan Cornelison at 138.

Lost first round to a tough kid, but wrestled all the way back for true second.”

Mount Ayr State top-ranked Ricker only had three other wrestlers in his heavyweight bracket, all three of which came into Ricker the tournament with losing records.

The undefeated Raider senior picked up a pair of first-period falls to easily advance to Saturday’s district tournament as champion.

Staats picked up a pair of pins on his way to the 145-pound championship match, where he dropped an 11-3 major decision to Southeast Warren’s Gabe Henderson.

Staats pinned Interstate 35’s Austin Beener in 5:15 and Martensdale-St. Marys’ Alex Craig in 4:30.

“We kind of looked at this situation as that’s possibly what could happen to us, was have two kids go through” Mount Ayr co-head coach Kurt Wallace said. “Things were setting up, we thought if everything goes well, we could have a couple more joining them.

“The two that got through, Joe’s looking strong, real tough. And Grant did some things well today, which helped him advance on.”

Bissell advances Southwest Valley senior Tyler Bissell will be the only representative for the Timberwolves at Saturday’s district tournament.

Bissell decked Clarinda Academy’s David Spencer in 45 seconds to advance to the semifinals, where he picked Bissell up a 7-6 decision over second-seeded Brock Bentley of Riverside.

Bissell lost by fall in 3:59 to top-seeded Timmy Barr of

AHSTW in the finals, but did not have to wrestle back for second place.

Iowa throttles No. 17 Maryland 71-55

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa could be primed for a big run the final month of the season.

Maryland could soon be in danger of a slide at the tail end of its first year in the Big Ten. Aaron White scored 17 points, Adam Woodbury matched a career high with 16 and Iowa throttled 17thranked Maryland 71-55 on Sunday.

Peter Jok also matched a career high with 15 points for the Hawkeyes (15-8, 6-4), who’ve won two straight to finish a brutal 10-game start to league play above .500.

Iowa opened the game on a 22-3 run and handed the Terrapins their third straight road loss — all by double digits.

“We got going offensively and it snowballed on them a little bit,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.

The Terrapins (19-5, 7-4) scored just 17 points on 6-of25 shooting in the first half as Iowa raced out to a 23-point lead. Maryland got within

15 before a technical foul on coach Mark Turgeon with 10 minutes left slowed much of its momentum.

Melo Trimble had 20 points to lead Maryland, which was outrebounded 30-19.

“They were really good.

But I imagine we had a lot to do with it,” Turgeon said.

“Turnovers. Shooting quick ... as a coach I’ve got to do a better job of having us prepared offensively.”

Maryland had been awful in its last two road games, losing at Indiana and Ohio State by 43 combined points.

The Terrapins looked just as bad against the Hawkeyes.

Maryland had as many turnovers, eight, as shots in the first 10 minutes. Its defense was even worse, allowing Iowa — which entered play 12th in the Big Ten in field goal percentage — to hit 10 of its first 15 shots.

The Terrapins got a little bit of traction behind Trimble and some full court pressure, but their horrid start was simply too much to overcome.

White’s dunk made it 34-13 Iowa with 2:03 left before

halftime.

Dez Wells had 12 points for Maryland, which had 16 turnovers.

Mike Gesell had nine assists for the Hawkeyes, whose schedule lightens considerably from here on out. Four of Iowa’s last eight league games are against the Big Ten’s three worst teams; Penn State, Rutgers and Northwestern.

Maryland hosts the Hoosiers on Wednesday and has dates with Michigan and Wisconsin in the weeks ahead.

“Kids are resilient. We’re going to wake up tomorrow and ... look at our record and say ‘Oh, we’re 19-5 and 7-4,’” Turgeon said. “You move on.

It’s a grind.”

TIP-INS Iowa: Woodbury was called for a flagrant foul late in the first half for poking Trimble in the eyes. It wasn’t the first time Woodbury’s fingers found an opponent’s eyes either. Woodbury poked a pair of Wisconsin players on Jan. 20, moves that ESPN commentator Dan Dakich memorably called “gutless.”

Miller. Their position was, either nobody scored in that flurry, or Mikkelsen should have been awarded a takedown after the escape for a 3-2 victory.

“First, we got away for a 2-1 lead, but when we were riding him they called a penalty point for pushing him out of bounds to make it 2-2,” Frain said. “With a few seconds left, they said he (Miller) escaped, but they didn’t give us the takedown, and the match ended with us on top! I thought, if you award the one, you had to give us the two. He said time ran out, and he didn’t ask for help on that. I would have called no scoring on it and gone to the (sudden victory) 30-second tiebreaker.”

Mikkelsen had not faced Clarinda’s Stickler, who he might have faced in a wrestleback situation instead of Miller.

“I would have liked to be in that opportunity like Miller was,” Frain said.

“All six guys in this weight class here would win that other sectional. That’s our biggest disappointment of the day.”

There were some other dramatic finishes that went the Panthers’ way.

Panther junior Seth Maitlen and Clarinda’s Christian Lauritsen, ranked seventh and ninth, respectively, met for the fourth time this season in the 195-pound finals. They were in a 1-1 standoff until Maitlen hit a slide-by takedown with just four seconds left in regulation.

“I knew with his hand ties, I could either get a slide-by or pass the elbow to a shot, so I was just waiting for it,” Maitlen said.

“I felt direct pressure and it just happened that the right time was with about five seconds left.”

Lauritsen had won the first meeting in dual action

this season, but Maitlen has claimed three straight in the rivalry since then.

Heavyweight Jake Gutschenritter snared his first career sectional title with a hard-fought 2-1 victory in the finals over South Dakota State football signee Jared DeVoe of Clarinda. Gutschenritter started the second period in the bottom position, and hit a reversal for a 2-0 lead.

DeVoe escaped, but could not score again on Gutschenritter despite several takedown attempts in the final minute.

“The key for Jake was that he kept moving his feet,” Frain said. “He was able to get that reversal.

He does really well on the bottom for a heavyweight.”

“I think it was a scramble and I got on top of him,” Gutschenritter said.

“He has like 25 pounds on me, it’s a lot of weight on your back. I’ve been working with coach (Cody) Downing a lot on getting out from bottom.”

Frain said Leith gained “the biggest win of his high school career” with a 4-1 semifinal win over C e n t r a l Leith Decatur’s Kade Kelso, who came in at 32-10.

Luke Strong of Clarinda then shut out Leith, 100, in the finals to create a wrestleback situation for Leith against consolation winner Mitchell Holcomb of Winterset.

The rangy Holcomb took a 2-0 lead with the initial takedown, but Leith had tied the match at 3-3 by the end of the first period. He scored four unanswered points from there, including a takedown with only 10 seconds left in the second period.

“I had beaten him twice before, but it was all on the line this time, so I knew he’d be wrestling his best,” Leith said. “I was just working for positions on takedowns. I can’t really choose bottom on him because he’s a legger with his length. Creston wrestling, we work to the last second and that’s important.”

Highlights Frain was especially pleased to see Leith and Marlin advance as third-seeded wrestlers.

Marlin had to shed a few pounds in an early-morning workout just to make weight at 120, then came out Marlin and beat Clarinda’s Dakota Foster in the semifinals by fall in 5:41 before also gaining a third-period pin in the final over Derek Koster of Winterset. He trailed Foster 4-0 before scoring two reversals.

“It might have been the fact that he had to bust his rear so hard this morning,” Frain said. “It might have helped him.”

Shiltz rolls The top-ranked Shiltz improved to 25-0 with a quick fall and a 21-6 technical fall over ninthranked Colton Ranney in the finals. Ranney suffered just his sixth loss in 55 matches this season.

“Chase is wrestling at a really high level right now,” Frain said.

Also dominant was Hulett in the 220-pound division, spending only a total of 3:50 on the mat in two victories by fall.

“Next week he’ll have a rematch with the Kuemper kid from the Hawkeye 10 tournament and the Missouri Valley kid, who was

BOYS: ed the margin and reserves played several minutes in the final period.

Groumoutis was 5-of-7 from behind the arc in scoring a team-high 17 points.

He also had five assists. Wolfe nearly had Groumoutis a double-double with 15 points and nine rebounds. The Panthers were 8-16 from 3-point range.

“It was nice to see the guys step up and make some shots,” Watson said.

Before Friday’s senior night game against Clarinda, the Panthers travel to Avoca Thursday to face an AHST team coached by former Panther G.G. Harris. His younger brother, freshman R.J. Harris, is the team’s second-leading scorer and like his brother, a 3-point shooting threat.

in the third to spurt in front, 37-32.

“We fell behind 11-2 to start the game, then we just tried to grind it out,” said Panther coach Brett Watson.

“We finally got things going a little bit in the fourth quarter.

Christian (Groumoutis) hit a three with a little over two minutes to go, then we got a stop and pulled it out for a little while with the ball, up by three. They started fouling and Jay (Wolfe) hit six free throws in a row.”

The Creston coach said it was a good performance in a “big-game atmosphere.”

“They knew it was a big game and had the gym packed, it was like a tournament time game,” Watson said. “Both teams were playing hard defensively. It was difficult for both teams to score.”

Wolfe led the Panthers with 20 points, including 8-8 at the free throw line. Alex Nielsen had 13 points. Creston shot 51 percent from the field compared to 32 percent for the Trojans. Junior Ryan Hawkins had 15 points, 10 rebounds and five steals for Atlantic. Sophomore Garrett Franken had 12 points and eight rebounds.

in practice after the previous game against Red Oak, a 5648 loss on Jan. 10. On Friday she returned with a brace and contributed 12 points and four rebounds. She was 6-of-8 at the free throw line.

“She said she felt good,” Douma said. “She hasn’t had much game-like conditioning yet and got a little gassed.”

“She played well, it’s just conditioning,” Red Oak coach Dan Martinez said.

“You hate to see girls have those knee problems. We’re glad she’s back.”

Bucknell signee Kate Walker had a triple-double for the Tigers, finishing with 20 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists. Guard Micayla Taylor gave the Tigers an early spark with her 3-point shoot-

Caitlin McIlravy scored 14 points for the Panthers and Alli Thomsen added 11. Logan Pettit and Becca Ross added eight points inside in the balanced Panther offense.

“We had a real good night offensively,” said Creston coach Ryan McKim. “Becca and Logan stepped up for us in the first half. Defensively it wasn’t our best effort, but we played better in the second half. They had three pretty good players.”

Creston (64) — Caitlin McIlravy

Atlantic JV boys downed Creston Saturday, 39-34.

“We did not do well in our half-court defense in the first quarter but we played much better in the following three quarters,” Creston coach Todd Jacobson said. “We had the lead and we were playing aggressive offense until the fourth quarter, when we went stale. Our missed shots under the hoop and free throws ultimately cost us a chance to put this one away.

Foodie first lady says ‘cheese dust is not food’ The first lady said her initiative and her husband’s health care law will, in the long run, save the country money by improving people’s health.

■

WASHINGTON (AP) — Michelle Obama says she dropped boxed macaroni and cheese from her family’s diet after her daughter couldn’t turn a block of cheese into cheese powder.

In an interview in the March issue of Cooking Light magazine, Mrs. Obama says Sam Kass, the family’s former personal chef, had taken a stand against the boxed variety, which includes processed cheese powder among the ingredients.

“He said there’s nothing wrong with mac and cheese, but it’s got to be real food,” she said, crediting him with helping to eliminate processed food from their diet.

Kass gave her daughter Malia, who was about 8 years old at the time, a block of cheese and challenged her to turn the fresh cheese into powder.

“She sat there for 30 minutes trying to pulverize a block of cheese into dust,” Mrs. Obama says. “She was really focused on it and it just didn’t work, so she had to give up. And from then on, we stopped eating macaroni and cheese out of a box because cheese dust is not food, as was the moral of the story.”

As she marks the fifth anniversary of her anti-childhood-obesity initiative, the first lady says it feels like there’s “a new norm” in how families think about food and what’s healthy.

Because food is personal and people are obsessed with it, Mrs. Obama said she’s trying to deliver “a message of change” that doesn’t assign blame but provides information needed to make better choices.

“And starting with kids has been an important first step because, as I’ve always said, parents will do for their kids what they won’t do for themselves.”

She plans to spend time this year encouraging people to prepare and eat more of their meals at home.

“What we do know is that the food you cook is healthier, and it can be more affordable, but it takes some skills,” such as learning how to cut a chicken into its parts, Mrs. Obama said.

The first lady said her initiative and her husband’s health care law will, in the long run, save the country money by improving people’s health.

“You don’t have to be an Olympic athlete to be healthy, but you do need to walk your dog or take your kids to the park periodically and throw a football around,” she said.

Her goal as an 80- or 90-year-old is to still be mobile.

“I want to be able to walk up a temple or a ruin on my own and see the world. And I can only do that if I’ve been investing in my health now,” the first lady said. “And just imagine, if we’ve got kids 20, 30, 40 years younger than we are doing that now, they’re going to be some of the strongest 80- and 90-year-olds we’ve ever seen. And that’s our dream.”

The magazine features Mrs. Obama on the cover, the first time in the publication’s 28-year history that food was not the cover subject. The issue is due on newsstands Friday.

Insurance Companies Legally Rip-Off Iowa Injured Workers By . . .

Yes, insurance companies can legally pay you less that what you are owed and do not have to tell you the truth. Many injured workers fail to learn the Injured Workers Bill of Rights which includes: 1. Payment of Mileage at $.56 per mile 2. Money for Permanent Disability 3. 2nd Medical Opinion in Admitted Claims. . . . A New Book reveals your other rights and much more so you do not get ripped-off.

Iowa Work Injury Attorney Corey Walker offers his book at no cost because since 1997, he has seen far too many hard working Iowans who did not know their rights treated badly by insurance companies. If you or a loved one have been hurt at work and do not have an attorney claim your copy (while supplies last). Call Now (800)-707-2552, ext. 311 (24 Hour Recording) or go to www.IowaWorkInjury.com. Our Guarantee- If you do not learn at least one thing from our book call us and we will donate $1,000 to your charity of choice.
