Supreme Court justices coming to Creston Iowa Supreme Court will hold oral arguments March 9 at Creston High School auditorium.

This is a live event and the public is invited.

By KYLE WILSON

■

You will want a seat at Creston High School auditorium March 9.

Why? Iowa Supreme Court will be holding oral arguments for a case currently on file with the court.

The case, Sanon v. City of Pella, involves the drowning of two teenage boys while on a youth camp outing to the Pella Aquatic Center operated by the city of Pella.

This case centers on whether acts or omissions of city employees resulting in violation of pool

safety regulations amount to a criminal offense under Iowa law such that the city does not have immunity from liability under Iowa Code.

This event is not a mock trial.

The live event is slated 7 p.m.

March 9. There is no cost for this event and the public is invited. Organizers do ask the public be seated by 6:45 p.m. that evening. The doors to the auditorium will close

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

at 6:55 p.m.

“These cases are normally only heard in Des Moines, so this literally could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for some,” said Skip Kenyon, Creston’s city attorney.

“It’s a real opportunity — right here in our backyard — to see the operations of the court system at the highest level in Iowa. I hope the community takes advantage of this.”

This event is part of the court system’s public outreach activities.

Steve Davis, communications coordinator for the Iowa Judi- S. Kenyon cial Branch, said the court holds these events in two Iowa communities each fall and two each spring so patrons can build a greater understanding for the court system.

Creston will be the 16th community to host such an event.

Young started Monday’s portion of the district tour in Creston, visiting Wellman Dynamics and talked with the workers about their jobs. He also ended his day in Creston, meeting with the Creston city council members and Mayor Warren Woods.

“It is just really interesting if you are watching the news to see some of the helicopters and air vehicles out there and know that a hand in Creston had something to

do with that,” Young said.

“There is great pride from their workers there.”

Woods and Creston city council members discussed projects that are underway in Creston and expressed concerns they had with infrastructure funding, teaching and veteran support.

“You probably drove on one of our streets that really needs work,” Woods said.

Young said he does not think a federal fuel tax will pass Congress. Iowa state legislators are working on a

ANKENY (AP) — A kindergarten teacher at a suburban Des Moines elementary school has been accused of drinking beer in her classroom.

Police say 40-year-old Jennifer L. Rich, of West Des Moines, was arrested Friday at East Elementary School in Ankeny after testing positively on an initial breathalyzer test. She was charged with public intoxication and child endangerment.

An Ankeny School District human resources representative says Rich submitted her resignation Monday.

According to a news release, police responded to a report from a parent claiming that Rich was spotted at the school with a can of beer. Authorities say they found a bag in her classroom containing two empty cans and four full cans of beer, and that Rich’s eyes were bloodshot and watery.

Rich is not being held in police custody.

Governor Branstad declines opinion on fuel tax Push to boost defense spending puts GOP in budget bind

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pressing Pentagon demands in a time of terror threats and Islamic State militants have put newly empowered congressional Republicans in a bind. Defense hawks want to wipe out previous spending cuts to steer more money to the military, but the GOP is divided over how to do it without piling

billions onto the deficit.

Lawmakers who want to rein deficit spending insist that any increases for the military should be financed by cuts to domestic programs — even as GOP pragmatists warn that could cause a budget logjam that would drag on for months. And that’s before GOP leaders begin talks with President Barack

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad says he expects to approve legislation this session that would address road funding, but he declined to say whether it would be through a 10 cent increase to the fuel tax.

Branstad told reporters Monday that legislation in the House and Senate could change before it reaches his desk for approval. When asked if he would support a 10 cent tax increase, he said he would reserve judgment until seeing a final draft.

The bills as they’re currently written would raise the state fuel tax by 10 cents. Panels have sent bills to full committees in the House and the Senate for consideration.

Branstad and lawmakers have been vocal about raising money to help fix Iowa’s network of bridges and roads, many of which are in disrepair.

Then, the following day the seven justices will split up and disperse to classrooms across southwest Iowa and speak to students for about one hour and an-

Davis said the justices have been to 15 communities so far and spoke at 93 different high schools or colleges since starting this outreach activity in 2011.

DEFENSE: Continued from Page 1

years later, the pain hit — across-the-board spending cuts.

The result was a blow to the Pentagon, with the department’s core spending on ships, planes, personnel and warfighting equipment reduced. Instead of a core budget of $577 billion, defense spending would be limited to $523 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

“We really cannot put a 2016 spending plan together at the $523 billion level,” said senior House Armed Service Committee member Michael Conaway, R-Texas. “That’s just unacceptable. We have to fix it somehow.”

While many GOP conservatives want to reduce the budget for domestic agencies to free up funds for the military, party pragmatists warn that this approach failed badly when House Republicans tried it two years ago.

Others are eying cuts to other programs to provide relief similar to the bipartisan 2013 budget deal than rankled GOP conservatives.

Under Capitol Hill’s arcane process, Congress first passes a non-binding measure called a budget resolution that sets overall spending and lays out agency budgets in broad parameters. Then the appropriations committees get to work, spending much of the summer and fall writing detailed spending bills.

The budget typically passes on a party-line vote, but the individual spending bills need at least some Democratic support since several GOP hard-liners refuse to back many of them in an effort to rein in government spending.

Any resolution of the mess appears to be months away since Republicans appear certain to go their own way on the budget.

Ultimately they’ll need Obama’s approval on any solution since they lack the votes to overcome any vetoes.

Obama requested an additional $38 billion for the Pentagon and $37 billion more for non-defense programs in his budget, financed by tax hikes and spending cuts such as curbing payments to health care providers. Republicans swiftly dismissed the idea.

Some Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and hardliners in

both the House and Senate, want to stick to the tighter limits. That means more money for defense could only come from raiding non-defense programs dear to Obama and his Democratic allies.

“I’d like to have more money for defense,” McConnell said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. “What I want is the overall cap to stay in place if possible. And it’s a challenge because to restore money on defense, the Democrats are going to want to restore money on the domestic side. So it’s a big challenge.”

House Republicans tried that approach two years ago but stalled after Democrats withheld support for pared-back domestic spending bills and GOP conservatives refused to vote for them either. GOP leaders were forced to pull a bill funding transportation and housing programs, and Congress’ appropriations process stalled.

“We can’t pass bills that way,” said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., who sits on both the Budget and Appropriations committees. “If you savage all these other accounts and Republicans aren’t willing to vote for them even then, which is what happened when T-HUD (transportation, housing and urban development) went down a couple years ago, then you put yourself in a situation where you can’t move legislation.”

The impasse and a subsequent partial government shutdown led Republicans to seek a more peaceful resolution. A subsequent agreement between Republicans controlling the House and the then-Democratic-controlled Senate in late 2013 restored $63 billion worth of sequester cuts over fiscal 2014 and 2015, paid for by a combination of other cuts and user fees spread out over a decade.

Some Republicans and the White House see the 2013 agreement, negotiated by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., as a model to emulate.

“I don’t see any reason why Congress couldn’t come together and do that again ... paid for by deficit reduction spread out over time,” said top White House economist Jason Furman in a recent interview with the AP. “It’s a work in progress,” said House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price, R-Ga.

‘Modern Family’ to air episode that takes place only online LOS ANGELES (AP) — How to keep the “modern” in “Modern Family” in its sixth season? Create an episode that plays out completely on a computer and in the realm of social media.

That’s what’s in store Feb. 25 on the ABC comedy’s “Connection Lost,” a half-hour that revolves around Claire Dunphy’s (Julie Bowen) frantic effort to locate daughter Haley (Sarah Hyland) after they squabble.

Other than a few scenes shot with the MacBook Pro, the episode was captured entirely with iPhone 6s and iPads, series co-creator and executive producer Steve Levitan said.

ABC and producer Twentieth Century Fox Television announced the project Tuesday.

This isn’t Apple’s first starring role on “Modern Family.” On the brink of the iPad’s retail debut in 2010, the tablet was portrayed as a sought-after birthday gift.

Levitan said the upcoming episode involved no product-placement compensation to Apple and resulted from an epiphany he had during an online experience involving one of his college-age daughters.

“I had emails open, some websites... then my daughter showed up” on FaceTime, he recounted.

“I could not only see her, but I could see me, and there was something going on behind me, my wife or somebody.”

“I realized on that screen, you could tell so much about my life,” Levitan said. It occurred to him that format would be fitting for “Modern Family,” he told reporters after a sneak peek at the episode.

All the comedy’s households represent a contemporary family in some way, he said, including that of gay couple Mitch and Cam, who are adoptive parents, and Jay and Gloria, a cross-cultural, cross-generational pair. With Claire, Phil and their children, the marker is how they communicate.

In the comedy’s debut episode in 2009, the parents summoned Haley to dinner by calling out to her, Levitan recalled. Her response: “Why are you yelling, why don’t you just text me?”

The in-progress “Connection Lost” looked very much like Levitan’s account of his own experience, with a “Modern Family” overlay.

always gets done is you have to fund the government.”

Young spent part of his day with area teachers discussing No Child Left Behind. He said there is a bipartisan effort working on correcting the ineffective program.

“There is no better way

to get in touch with the district and know what people are talking about unless you get in front of them,” Young said. “That is the promise I made to folks that I wouldn’t be a stranger.”

Young will be in the district for the rest of the week. He planned to visit Polk County today.

Correction In Monday’s Creston News Advertiser story entitled “SWCC spring enrollment grows despite statewide trend,” the amount for

which Spartan Hall came in under budget was published incorrectly. The correct amount is approximately $520,000.

Creston News Advertiser Tuesday, February 17, 2015

OPINION

Touting our Tout videos as state wrestling approaches I have some exciting news.

No, “Fifty Shades of Grey” hasn’t arrived at Creston Strand Theatre yet fellas. I know how badly you want tickets to that flick.

The exciting news does involve the multimedia platform, though.

Recently, journalists at the Creston News Advertiser were armed with a cell phone application called Tout that makes producing quality news videos incredibly easy. Want to see what we’ve created so far?

Take a minute right now, visit www.crestonnews.com and view the dozen or so videos we’ve already produced.

For cell phone and tablet users, videos can be viewed by clicking on the menu tab, followed by news video tab. For desktop and laptop users, the videos are located on the right-hand rail of our homepage.

(See photo, right, for help).

There, Jake Waddingham of the CNA created a video of Verlyn and Alice Blevins — the lovely Creston couple who celebrated their 66th

In Transit Kyle Wilson managing editor

wedding anniversary on Valentine’s Day this year.

Also, Larry Peterson, sportswriter for the CNA, caught up with Creston/O-M wrestling coach Darrell Frain for a Tout video after a record nine wrestlers advanced to the state tournament over the weekend.

But, it wasn’t until I viewed another of Larry’s videos that I was completely sold this video project was worthwhile for journalists and consumers. The video featured G.G. Harris — a graduate of Creston High School who is now the head basketball coach at AHST (Avoca).

As a consumer, I was immediately interested in this video because

Harris and I played a lot of roundball together in our day — whether it be in the high school gym, pickup games at the Southern Prairie YMCA or driveway battles at a friend’s house.

Larry captured his postgame reaction to coaching against his former high school team for the first time. I watched the video eagerly.

It was almost like I was “catching

up” with Harris.

He really seems to have turned into a good, young prep basketball coach. But, that comes as no surprise.

Really, our journalists are in the beginning stages of creating these Tout videos for our website. Our results so far have been excellent with videos receiving than more than 1,000 views already. Moving

forward, our journalists will each be producing at least one Tout video per week.

So, keep checking our website and Facebook page.

I assure you there will be videos that capture your attention, especially with state wrestling tournament this week whereby you’ll be able to see videos from some of the matches instantly on our website.

lade to a Ford Fiesta in three days is more than people in L.A. can stomach.

Green Bay Packer Letroy Guion was arrested with a large supply of marijuana and a pistol and two hundred grand in cash last week the same day Hall of Fame lineman Warren Sapp was arrested for assault and soliciting hookers. All signs are clear as a bell. The NFL off-season has officially begun.

Fifty Shades of Grey premiered in movie theaters Friday about a steamy S&M romance based on a bestseller. In it a beautiful college co-ed signs a contract in which she agrees to be a wealthy man’s personal plaything and whipping post.

The Saudi News calls it the Feel Good Movie of the Year.

Charles Manson called off his wedding after he found out his fiancee planned to place his body under glass after he died and sell tickets to see it. She told reporters her plans last week. No one in L.A. could believe that a woman would be so stupid as to show her hand like that so close to Valentine’s Day. Rutgers University held an admissions fair to recruit illegal immigrants as prospective students Saturday, where illegals were given free legal advice on how to

ways to acquire federal loans. It’s important that we nurture these kids. They represent the future of U.S. soccer.

New York lawmakers debated legalizing and taxing marijuana sales last week. It’d raise lots of state revenue. On Tuesday the Colorado treasurer reported last year the state made forty-four million dollars from marijuana taxes.

The only problem is, they can’t remember where they stashed the money.

President Obama signed an order letting companies and the FBI share cyber-threats to thwart corporate hacking. Encryption fools nobody. Ever since Sony Studios chairman resigned after the Obama jokes she e-mailed to a friend were made public, CEOs are exchanging President O’Brien jokes.

NBC News was swamped by more evidence of NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams wildly exaggerating his role in news stories he’s witnessed or in war stories he’s covered. Hopefully his problem’s treatable. Yesterday he said he still suffers nightmares about the night he saved Private Ryan.

A University of South Florida urologist onThursday performed

a U.S. Marine post in Iraq Friday after eight terrorists wearing suicide vests breached a nearby Iraqi base that houses U.S. Marines. The terrorists were all shot and killed in the street before they could self-detonate. You never hear the good stories involving white cops.

Jeb Bush was ripped by rightto-die activists for his refusal as Florida Governor to allow Terri Schiavo to be taken off life support. It’s a moot point by now. So many kids today walk around with phone chargers, if you ever end up on life support they won’t be able to find the plug, much less pull it.

President Obama’s budget calls for student loans to be paid off at fifteen percent of the student’s future earnings for twenty-five years.

The student loan program is inspiring a new generation of Americans. In a new survey forty percent of all college undergraduates said they want to be loan sharks.

GOP candidate Governor Scott Walker flew to England to promote trade with Wisconsin. It’s a tradition for presidential hopefuls to meet British leaders. The British Constitution offers British subjects the same constitutional rights that U.S. citizens enjoy only we offer complimentary TSA groping.

Hein, Maeder bridal shower planned

PRESCOTT — A bridal shower is planned in honor of the upcoming marriage of Rochelle Hein of Corning and Alex Maeder of Orient.

The shower will be from 2 to 4 p.m. Feb. 22 at the home of Shelly West, 2954 200th St., Prescott.

NEW YORK (AP) — With a measure of anniversary hoopla perhaps exceeded only by the nation’s bicentennial, “Saturday Night Live” celebrated its 40th season on Sunday with a 3½-hour gala of stars, laughs and memories.

It aired live from New York’s Studio 8H at NBC, which has been “SNL” HQ since premiering on a Saturday night in October 1975.

It was a black-tie event so jammed with “SNL” alumni and other celebs they fueled an hour-long red carpet event before the big show even began. Some 80 names were listed in the opening credits.

It started with a medley of catchphrases, music and characters performed by Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake that concluded, inevitably, with their pronouncement, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

Who was the rightful host? Steve Martin stepped up first, but was joined one by one by stars including Peyton Manning, Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, Billy Crystal, Melissa McCarthy, Paul McCartney and Paul Simon to dispute his selection.

Among the night’s many tributes, Jack Nicholson noted that “when ‘SNL’ started, the last helicopter had just flown out of Vietnam, Watergate was still fresh in everyone’s minds, and New York was broke.”

The night’s big hitch: Eddie Murphy was greeted like returning royalty, with an introductory tribute from Chris Rock that lasted much longer than Murphy’s actual appearance. Murphy said little more than thanks.

After all the buildup, his blink-and-he-was-gone participation was an epic fail.

It was the main disappointment in a long, very long, but mostly satisfying retrospective of TV’s great comedy institution.

Robert De Niro marveled that, 40 years later, “SNL” is “still at it. Forty years!

That’s like back when TV was still watched on TV.” Jerry Seinfeld said, “There are so many things about ‘Saturday Night Live’ that people don’t know. For instance, I just found out that one of the original cast members in 1975 was Brian Williams.”

Seinfeld then took goofy questions from the VIP audience, including Michael Douglas, James Franco, Dakota Johnson and Sarah Palin, who asked, “How much do you think Lorne Michaels would pay me to run in 2016?” “Run for president?” Seinfeld replied. “I don’t think there’s a number too big.”

But it wasn’t all live.

The first clip: John Belushi and Michael O’Donoghue in the language-lesson sketch with which the very first “SNL” episode opened.

A remarkable montage of audition tapes from pro-

spective “SNL” cast members included one notable washout: Jim Carrey.

New York was honored with clips and comic sketches capturing the love-ithate-it spirit of the Big Apple through the decades, as well as a pivotal moment from the first “SNL” episode to air after 9-11 when then Mayor Rudolf Giuliani told “SNL” creator Michaels “that ‘Saturday Night Live’ is one our great New York City institutions, and that’s why it’s important for you to do your show tonight.”

“Can we be funny?” asked Michaels, to which Giuliani replied with impeccable timing, “Why start now?”

Another group of clips focused on sports-related skits. Another gathered moments from filmed comedy segments (including a nod to hapless Mr. Bill).

And yet another sample reel traced the show’s legacy of political humor.

Will Ferrell as 2000 presidential candidate George W. Bush summed up the best argument for his election: “Strategery.” And Darrell Hammond as his opponent, Al Gore, offered his own: “Lockbox.”

On a serious note, an in memoriam segment remembered the members of the “SNL” troupe who have passed, and not just the on-camera stars (and The Voice, Don Pardo), but departed members of the behind-the-scenes company and crew.

But it wasn’t all taped.

A classic commercial parody was encored live: Super Bass-o-Matic, with pitchman Dan Aykroyd and Laraine Newman repeating their performances from 1976. An all-star soap-spoof “The Californians” was revived, including Taylor Swift, Bradley Cooper and Betty White. Dana Carvey and Mike Myers re-teamed for “Wayne’s World.”

And a super anchor team was gathered for “Weekend Update”: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Jane Curtin.

Their top story, of course, was the “SNL” anniversary.

“Viewers of ‘Saturday Night Live’ span several generations,” Fey reported, “from the Baby Boomers to Generation X all the way to whatever you call the little dummies who are live-tweeting this right now instead of watching it.”

As a guest commentator, the classic character Roseanne Rosannadanna (created by the late Gilda Radner) was revived by Emma Stone. Edward Norton did a turn as Bill Hader’s clubs

correspondent Stefon. McCarthy did the late Chris Farley’s motivational speaker Matt Foley.

Musical guests, as announced, were Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, McCartney and Simon.

Before the show, former cast member Will Ferrell expressed what many would say on stage: It was an epic night for many.

“I think I knew about it like a year ago and I was being told like, ‘Make sure you keep this date clear no matter what, so, yeah, I wouldn’t have missed this for anything. And so far it’s even just the days leading up have been so special just getting to hang out with old friends and catching up and reminiscing as well as tonight’s show is gonna be I think another piece of television history. It’s very cool,” he said.

Former cast member Andy Samberg perhaps summed the night up best: “It’s like ‘The Big Chill’ if there were like 700 people in the house.”

Let’s really think about this.

There is not much information other than a name and address, plus the expiration date, on that label. I don’t think thieves can really do much — well, maybe sign you up for a subscription! — Heloise POWDERED GLOVES Dear Heloise: I wear rubber gloves when washing dishes.

UNI 11th CEDAR FALLS — With two big Missouri Valley Conference wins over the past week, the Northern Iowa Panther men’s basketball team climbed to No. 11 in The Associated Press Top 25.

The Panthers beat Illinois State last Wednesday and Missouri State Sunday.

The Kentucky Wildcats (25-0) received all 65 first-place votes from a media panel Monday after holding off LSU and rolling over South Carolina last week.

Northern Iowa moved up two spots to No. 11 for its highest ranking ever.

The top eight teams remained the same from last week, with Virginia at No. 2, followed by Gonzaga, Duke, Wisconsin, Villanova, Arizona and Kansas.

Utah moved into the top 10 for the second time this season, up two spots to No. 9. Louisville dropped three spots to No. 12 after losing to North Carolina State on Saturday.

Iowa State lost to Oklahoma on the road but won its 21st-straight home game against No. 21 West Virginia last week. The Cyclones remained in the No. 14 spot in the poll. Iowa is no longer receiving votes.

KU loses MORGANTOWN — Juwan Staten made a layup with 4 seconds left to lift No. 23 West Virginia to a 62-61 victory over No. 8 Kansas on Monday night.

Staten finished with 20 points to give the Mountaineers (20-6, 8-5 Big 12) their first 20-win season in four years. It was Staten’s first field goal over the final eight minutes after he had gone to the bench with leg cramps.

After Staten made a spin move around Frank Mason III and hit a left-handed layup, the Jayhawks’ Perry Ellis caught a long pass but missed a layup between two defenders just before the final buzzer.

Ellis finished with 19 points, Mason had 18 and Kelly Oubre Jr. added 14 points for Kansas (21-5, 10-3). Jevon Carter added 13 points for West Virginia.

East Union takes district opener at O-M

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

ORIENT — Just 72 hours after coaching a 52-39 victory over his alma mater in Afton, East Union coach Thad Tussey praised his team for duplicating the fact in a 50-43 victory over Orient-Macksburg Monday night in the gym where he played for his father, former Bulldog coach Steve Tussey.

This win, however, was even more critical in that the Eagles advanced to a Class 1A District 12 quarterfinal game Thursday against eighth-ranked Earlham at 8 p.m. in Afton. That game follows Mormon Trail vs.

Murray at 6:30 p.m.

Mormon Trail held off Lamoni in Monday’s opener here, 52-50.

Thad Tussey said Friday’s dress rehearsal for the district matchup was helpful, to a point.

“We did enough to win Friday,” Tussey said. “Tonight, we did show some things we didn’t show the first time, but they were things we’d been doing all year. We watched the film and looked at how they defended us, and made some adjustments based on that.

On the other end, we just had to play solid defense.”

A low-scoring game with a patient offense working for high percentage shots is classic Orient-Macksburg basketball that Tussey played for his father back in the day. O-M coach Drew Dornack, who had also worked with Steve Tussey at O-M, saw some familiar elements in the Eagles’ style

East Union guard Cole Campbell (13) drives past Orient-Macksburg’s Dylan Nichols (22) during the Eagles’ 50-43 district tournament win Monday night. They were their respective team’s leading scorer in the game, as Campbell netted 16 points and Nichols had 15 as the only Bulldog in double figures.

of play.

“We knew they have kind of a slow-down style,” Dornack said. “They did what the system does, they kept us in the 40s and scored just a little more. He (Steve Tussey) was obviously here watching both, and hopefully he took some pride in watching two former assistants go at it.”

Senior guard Cole Campbell got the Eagles off to a good start with perimeter shooting that gave the Ea-

gles a 9-2 lead, and later a 12-point margin with the second of his two 3-pointers for a 28-16 advantage late in the second period.

Campbell had 11 points as the Eagles finished the half in front 28-22. He ended with a team-high 16 points along with six assists and two steals.

“Campbell, for what he had to go through in losing his grandfather this weekend, deserves a lot of credit. He had a visitation for

that today,” Dornack said.

“That’s pretty courageous to be able to come out and play like that. It might have motivated him a little more, I don’t know.”

Richard Jones of Shannon City died Friday, with funeral services today. Campbell attended a funeral visitation earlier in the day in Afton.

He and post player Tyler Kelley did much of the damage for the Eagles after O-M had rallied to within a point at 30-29 in the third quarter.

Kelley was unchecked near the basket and his offensive rebound for a putback gave the Eagles a three- Kelley point margin at the third-quarter buzzer, 32-29.

Then to start the fourth period, Casey Walter drove for a basket and then Kelley was again open under the basket for a lay-in to push the Eagles in front 36-29.

O-M senior Jordan Thompson broke the streak with his own inside basket, and from there the margin stayed between five and seven points until the 3:30 mark.

That’s when the Eagles broke it open. Holding a 4135 lead, Gabe Nixon took an assist from Kelley on an out of bounds play, and Campbell drove and dished for an assist to Kelley near the basket to stretch it to 10 points at 45-35 with 2:00 left.

Seth White gave the Bulldogs a last gasp comeback hope with a 3-pointer that cut it to 49-42 with 30 seconds left, but O-M was able to only add one free throw from there in the seven-point loss.

“That’s the way we’ve been all year,” Dornack said. “We’ll put together a good series, then have one mental breakdown on defense. We wanted to get a body on Kelley and shut down Gossman, but then Please see EAGLES, page 9A

DMACC clips Spartan women; halftime lead evaporates at Simpson

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

A swarming DMACC defense chased Southwestern women out of their comfort zone Saturday in a 69-46 victory over the Spartans here.

The Bears, now 17-10 overall and 5-5 in ICCAC league play, took a 33-22 halftime lead on the heels of a big run near the end of the first half. DMACC then outscored Southwestern 36-24 over the second half.

“We didn’t shoot very well. We were feeling a little rushed. They get out and pressure and trap you all over the court,” SWCC coach Addae Houston said.

“At times we handled it well. But we had a tough five-minute stretch before half.”

Southwestern had 23 turnovers in the game to

DMACC’s 15, and suffered from 30 percent shooting from the field.

S a b r i n a Fountain Fountain led the Spartans with 15 points.

Olivia Reifert had seven rebounds and six points for Southwestern. LaStella Slack also hauled in seven rebounds while scoring four points. Jill Vanderhoof had six rebounds, four assists and five points for the Spartans, who fell to 2-8 in the league and 3-21 overall.

The game started a stretch of four games in eight days for the Spartans, who traveled to Simpson College Monday for nonconference game against the Storm JV.

Earlier in the season it was a matchup that gave Southwestern its first victory, after trailing by 16 points in the first half.

It was just the opposite situation Monday in Indianola. Southwestern moved to a 45-30 halftime lead, but the Storm JV overtook the Spartans with free throws at the 2:46 mark of the second half on the way to seizing a 74-66 victory.

“In the first half we came out solid and ready to play,” Houston said. “In the second half we stopped defending as well, and it seemed like we missed every shot we put up when they sat in that zone.”

Statistics for the Simpson game were not available at press time.

DALLAS (AP) — Amare Stoudemire asked out of his contract with the New York Knicks because he wants to make a run at a championship.

The veteran forward has apparently decided Dallas is the place to spend the rest of this season chasing his first title.

A person with direct knowledge of the talks said Monday night that Stoudemire has agreed to sign with the Mavericks after taking a buyout from the Knicks. He can’t make his verbal commitment official until he clears waivers Wednesday.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal wasn’t official, told The Associated Press that Stoudemire could be available when Dallas returns from the All-Star break Thursday at Oklahoma City.

The 32-year-old Stoudemire was waived Monday after requesting the Knicks buy out the remainder of his contract that was set to expire after this season. He’s likely to clear waivers.

“I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to contribute positively on the court and in the community,” Stoudemire said. “ A l though I leave the Knicks with a heavy heart, I wish the organiza- Stoudemire

tion the best of luck. Once a Knick always a Knick.”

Dallas has needed frontcourt help since trading Brandan Wright in a deal that brought point guard Rajon Rondo from Boston.

Stoudemire averaged 17.3 points and 6.7 rebounds in 255 games over five seasons with the Knicks, making the playoffs three times. He was a starter in the 2011 AllStar Game, the Knicks’ first in 14 years.

“His time here should be marked by recognizing his effort. It was 100 percent,” Phil Jackson, the Knicks’ president of basketball operations, said in a statement. “As we move forward in structuring this team, we will look for players that exhibit his desire to win.”

Carmelo Anthony, who wanted to play for the Knicks in part because Stoudemire had signed there in 2010, learned the news Sunday after playing in the All-Star Game.

“Amare brought something back to New York that New York was kind of missing and needing for a long time,” Anthony said. “When he came, he brought back some of the excitement here for the game of basketball in New York. There was hope when he came back.

People started believing in the New York Knicks once again. He was the main reason for that belief and for that hope when he first got here in New York.”

STOUDEMIRE: Continued from page 7A

Stoudemire was an AllStar in Phoenix before signing a five-year contract worth about $100 million in 2010. He helped the Knicks end a seven-year playoff drought his first season, but he missed significant time over the past few years because of assorted injuries. The Knicks had to monitor his minutes since his two knee operations during the 2012-13 season.

He can still score when able to play, averaging 12 points in 24 minutes this

season.

“To see him leave, to see the situation where it’s at right now, I know what he wants and you have to respect that,” Anthony said.

“As an athlete, as a competitor, you only want the best for your friends, your close ones. He wants to play for a championship is what I’m hearing. He wants to play for a contender. I don’t think nobody should hold that away from him.” ___ AP Basketball Writer Brian Mahoney in New York contributed to this report.

Report: Iowa prison officials botched inmate’s discipline IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa prison officials unfairly lengthened an offender’s sentence by excessively punishing him for assault, a case that highlights systemic problems with inmate disciplinary hearings, a state watchdog agency said Monday after a years-long review.

In a report called “Neither fair, nor impartial,” the Office of Ombudsman concludes that Department of Corrections officials violated policies and inmate Randy Linderman’s rights when they disciplined him for bumping a guard in 2008. The ombudsman said the case

underscored questionable procedures used in dozens of hearings daily in which inmates can have sentences extended and lose privileges for rules violations.

The report determined that a prison judge ordered Linderman into 180 days of isolation and took away 180 days of earned time — a harsher punishment than allowed under department policy — after being privately pressured by the warden.

Department officials gave “dubious and contradictory answers” in seeking to justify the punishment during the ombudsman’s investiga-

tion, including the judge’s unusual claim that Linderman’s chest was considered a weapon during the assault.

The ombudsman, who investigates complaints against state and local agencies, said the department should discourage employees from privately discussing pending cases with the administrative law judges who decide sanctions. Such communications are barred in other agencies that have independent judges to avoid perceptions of bias — but are legal and common inside the Department of Corrections.

As long as those communi-

Habitat for Humanity Valentine benefit rocks Harveys’ Chicken Inn

cations continue, prison judges “are not truly independent, as state and federal laws require,” the report said. “As a result, DOC inmates’ legal right to fair disciplinary hearings has been and continues to be compromised.”

Judges work inside prisons and report to department general counsel Michael Savala, who told investigators he didn’t believe such discussions influence the fairness of hearings.

The report is expected to attract the attention of lawmakers and could help inmates suing the state with excessive-discipline claims.

Saturday evening more than 120 people danced at Harveys’ Chicken Inn. Habitat for Humanity of Union County raised almost $2,500 this year, while dancing to the Coon Ridge Country Band.

The monies generated will help to build another new home and allow Habitat to make needed home improvements to existing homes in Union County to work toward helping everyone have safe, decent, affordable housing in Union County.

Habitat would like to

thank those who donated, Creston News Advertiser and KSIB Radio for helping publicize this event, and Hy-Vee for donating two dozen long-stemmed red roses that were sold to supplement the benefit.

To donate, volunteer, or for more information about Habitat for Humanity of Union County, visit unionhfh.org for general information, or to volunteer, contact buildwithus@unionhfh.org.

Federal judge stalls Obama’s executive action on immigration College news HOUSTON (AP) — The White House promised an appeal Tuesday after a federal judge in Texas temporarily blocked President B a r a c k Obama Obama’s executive action on immigration and gave a coalition of 26 states time to pursue a lawsuit aiming to permanently stop the orders.

U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen’s decision late Monday puts on hold Obama’s orders that could spare from deportation as many as five million people who are in the U.S. illegally.

Hanen wrote in a memorandum accompanying his order that the lawsuit should go forward. Without a preliminary injunction, he said, the states would “suffer irreparable harm in this case.”

“The genie would be impossible to put back into the bottle,” he wrote, adding

“The genie would be impossible to put back into the bottle.”

— U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen

that he agreed that legalizing the presence of millions of people is a “virtually irreversible” action.

In a statement early Tuesday, the White House defended the executive orders issued in November as within the president’s legal authority, saying the U.S. Supreme Court and Congress have said federal officials can establish priorities in enforcing immigration laws.

“The district court’s decision wrongly prevents these lawful, commonsense policies from taking effect and the Department of Justice has indicated that it will appeal that decision,” the statement said.

The U.S. Department of Justice will appeal the ruling, the White House said.

The appeal will be heard by

the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

The first of Obama’s orders — to expand a program that protects young immigrants from deportation if they were brought to the U.S. illegally as children — was set to start taking effect Wednesday. The other major part of Obama’s order, which extends deportation protections to parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have been in the country for some years, was not expected to begin until May 19.

Joaquin Guerra, political director of Texas Organizing Project, called the ruling a “temporary setback.”

“We will continue getting immigrants ready to apply for administrative relief,” he said in a statement. The nonprofit says it promotes social and economic equality for low to moderate income Texans.

The coalition of states, led

by Texas and made up of mostly conservative states in the South and Midwest, argues that Obama has violated the “Take Care Clause” of the U.S. Constitution,

We’re Celebrating Girl Scout Month with Scrumptious

which they say limits the scope of presidential power, and that his executive actions would be difficult to undo once immigrants started to apply for deferred action. They also say Obama’s order would force increased investment in law enforcement, health care and education.

House Speaker John Boehner said Monday’s ruling wasn’t a surprise and underscores that Obama acted beyond his authority.

Boehner said he hopes that Senate Democrats will relent in their opposition to a Homeland Security Department spending bill that overturns Obama’s action.

The department’s funding expires Feb. 27 and Congress has only a few legislative days to act.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called the decision a “victory for the rule of law in America” in a statement late Monday. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who led the state into the lawsuit when he was the state’s attorney general, said Hanen’s

decision “rightly stops the President’s overreach in its tracks.”

Hanen, who’s been on the federal court since 2002 after being nominated by President George W. Bush, regularly handles border cases but wasn’t known for being outspoken on immigration until a 2013 case. In that case, Hanen suggested that Homeland Security should be arresting parents living in the U.S. illegally who induce their children to cross the border.

Congressional Republicans have vowed to block Obama’s actions by cutting off Homeland Security Department spending for the program. Earlier this year, the Republican-controlled House passed a $39.7 billion spending bill to fund the department through the end of the budget year, but attached language to undo Obama’s executive actions. The fate of that House-passed bill is unclear as Republicans in the Senate do not have the 60vote majority needed to advance most legislation.
