Young talks budget, national Creston senior security during CNA visit receives top Grand View scholarship

By IAN RICHARDSON CNA staff reporter

irichardson@crestonnews.com

A proposed tax of $10 per barrel of oil found in President Barack Obama’s latest budget proposal will be “dead on arrival” at Congress, Iowa 3rd District Rep. David Young said Thursday during a morning visit to the Creston News Advertiser.

“That socks it to hard-working Iowans because that’s a 25-cent tax per gallon on fuel at the pump,” Young said. “It would have to go through Congress, and so it’s dead on arrival. We’re not going to levy that on the American people. We believe that they’re taxed enough already.”

The first-term representative stopped Thursday to discuss several economic and national security issues he’s been hearing from southwest Iowans. The visit was one of many planned stops as part of a weeklong swing through District 3 during his Congressional work break.

Young said what he’s been hearing from southwest Iowans in the district’s 16 counties boils down to three main issues: economic security, national security and security of Constitutional rights.

Economics Economically, Young said Iowa’s 5 percent unemployment rate is better than many states, but many people have still dropped out of looking for work because they can’t find it. He said underemployment is also high, and median income has remained stagnant.

“We’re not out of the Great Recession, but we’re a strong, resilient people, and we’ll find a way out of this,” Young said. “We can change that by having some certainty with the tax code, putting a check on these rules and regulations that are stifling growth.”

National security Regarding national security, Young said America needs to step up and take the lead in the world, not as its police but as its “moral compass.” Young said that is something that will take compromise.

“We need a strategy to take on ISIS and defeat them, and we need the president and the Congress together at the table, solving this together,” Young said. “(Congress authorizes) and funds military operations, and so if we can get a strategy and plan together and just let the commaders and the generals do their jobs and take this out of politics,

Rep. David Young of Van Meter represents Iowa’s 3rd District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Young stopped by the Creston News Advertiser office Thursday to talk about the concerns he’s been hearing from southwest Iowans during his visit.

we can do this.”

Young said Iowans are also worried about security of Constitutional rights, citing the need for strong gun rights and his disdain for the “land grab” by the Environmental Protection Agency with its Waters of the U.S. rule. The rule, which expands on the definition of which of the nation’s waterways fall under federal regulation, is currently tied up in the courts.

Infrastructure Young also said he wants to be sure the nation’s infrastructure can support the exports that keep Iowa thriving.

That includes keeping ports open, ensuring the rail lines are open enough to haul grain and livestock, and keeping the roadways in good condition.

“We finally got a long-term highway bill so we can do the upgrades to our transportation, our road infrastructure,” Young said. “We want to make sure our rail lines are dependable. We had all the oil up in North Dakota kind of clogging out the volume on the railways. We want to make sure we have equal footing to get our grain and livestock on there as well.”

Travel schedule Young maintains a vigorous travel schedule during his work breaks. Since Jan. 5, he has conducted 550 meetings and tours through Iowa’s 3rd District and answered more than 270,000 let-

ters, calls and emails from Iowans. He has also not missed any of the votes taken in the House of Representatives since he was sworn in Jan. 6, 2014.

“That’s the contract that I made with the 3rd District,” Young said.

“They’re my bosses. They’re the employer. Congress’ approval rating is around 10 percent, and for good reason sometimes, right? I want to help improve that relationship and that trust with those that represent the people.”

Regarding the current race for the Republican presidential nominee, Young said he is not endorsing a candidate but trusts Iowans, who have had access to many of the candidates, to choose the one they feel is best.

Young will be up for re-election himself in November. He said he’s not worried too much about a campaign yet.

“We’ll gear up later on this spring, but right now you focus on your official business and why you were elected,” he said. “We hit every county every month, and so elections will take care of themselves.”

Young’s slate of stops Thursday also included Mount Ayr. Greenfield, Atlantic, Adair and KSIB Radio in Creston. Saturday, he attended a legislative coffee at the restored Creston Depot.

A Creston High School senior will be saving nearly $100,000 over the next four years after receiving the highest possible scholarship at an Iowa university.

Alli Thomsen, the daughter of John and Linda Thomsen of Creston, has been awarded the Presidential Scholarship at Grand View University in Des Moines.

The renewable scholarship will fully cover tuition for up to four years for Thomsen, who said the private liberal arts college has been a favorite throughout her college application process.

“I visited Grand View actually my junior year and A. Thomsen loved it,” she said.

“It’s always been my No. 1 choice.”

But Grand View doesn’t just give those full-tuition scholarships away. After her acceptance to the university, Thomsen received word she had qualified to attend Scholarship Day, an event held Nov. 15 at the university. As part of the day, scholarship applicants wrote an essay and participated in a one-on-one interview, with several scholarships available.

Eighty-three other high school seniors attended the day, and Thomsen said about 15 were competing for the same scholarship she

“We are just extremely proud of all of her hard work.”

was.

Thomsen said the essay portion, which asked her to write an essay in 50 minutes about how she defined the word “future,” was the most nervewracking part of the process.

“It was kind of a broad question, and I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to write about a first,” she said.

“But once I started writing, I was good. And I wasn’t nervous for the interview because I like talking.”

Following Scholarship Day, Thomsen had to wait to receive word of the results. The call came in early December, while she was shopping in Wal-Mart. She said she teared up a little when she was told she’d won, then went home and immediately told her family.

“I thought I was excited until I told them,” Alli said.

“Obviously, they’re like my biggest fans. They were happy.”

Thomsen’s mom, Linda, was particularly ecstatic.

“I screamed when she told me and did a little dance around the living room,” Linda said.

Alli’s father, John, said while he wasn’t shocked that she was the one chosen for the award, he was still surprised and very happy.

Pentagon: U.S. warplanes strike IS training camp WASHINGTON (AP) — American warplanes struck an Islamic State training camp in Libya near the Tunisian border Friday, and a Tunisian described as a key extremist operative probably was killed, the Pentagon announced.

In Libya, local officials estimated that more than 40 people were killed with more wounded, some critically.

The strike did not appear to mark the start of a sustained U.S. air campaign against the extremist group in Libya, where it has made inroads

even as it faces pressure from U.S.-led coalition bombing in Syria and Iraq.

The Obama administration has said it would support international military support for counter-IS efforts in Libya once the country assembles a unity government, but it also has vowed to strike key targets when opportunities arise.

In a written statement, Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said the training camp struck Friday was near the Libyan town of Sabratha and that STRIKE | 2A

Afternoon accident: Creston Police Sgt. Pat Henry jots down information following an accident

5:12 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of South Cherry and East Taylor streets in Creston. According to a Creston Police report, Ryker Paul Carruthers, 18, of Lenox was driving a 1992 Dodge pickup east on Taylor Street when he was distracted by a friend waving him down on the opposite side of the street, then made a right turn onto Cherry Street and struck Angela Sue Vicker, 53, of Creston, driving a 2008 Chevrolet. The impact caused Vicker’s vehicle to strike an electrical pole head-on, deploying the air bag. Medical staff checked and released Vicker on the scene.

“We are just extremely proud of all of her hard work,” John said. “It’s kind of neat to get that kind of recognition for that. You know, for sports and all the other things you do you get a lot of recognition, but the academics side of things, those things usually aren’t recognized as much. I think that kind

of made her feel like she was getting something a little extra special for all of her hard work.”

Alli, who is involved in multiple sports at Creston High School and is president of the school’s Future Business Leaders of America club, said her future plans include studying pre-medical with her eyes toward a career in dentistry.

the targeted extremist was Noureddine Chouchane, a Tunisian national whom Cook called “an ISIL senior facilitator in Libya associated with the training camp.”

Another U.S. official said up to 60 militants were present at the camp at the time of the strike by U.S. Air Force F-15E strike aircraft based in Europe. The official said the U.S. believes, but is not certain, that Chouchane was

killed.

Cook said Tunisian officials in May 2015 had named Chouchane as a suspect in a March 18, 2015 attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunis.

“He facilitated the movement of potential ISIL-affiliated foreign fighters from Tunisia to Libya and onward to other countries,” Cook said.

“Destruction of the camp and Chouchane’s removal will eliminate an experienced facilitator and is expected to have an immediate impact on ISIL’s ability to facilitate its activities in

Harper Lee, the elusive author whose “To Kill a Mockingbird” became an enduring best-seller and classic film with its child’s-eye view of racial injustice in a small Southern town, has died. She was 89.

HarperCollins spokeswoman Tina Andreadis confirmed the author’s death to The Associated Press on Friday.

For most of her life, Lee divided her time between New York City, where she

wrote the novel in the 1950s, and her hometown of Monroeville, which inspired the book’s fictional Maycombe.

“To Kill a Mockingbird,” published in 1960, is the story of a girl nicknamed Scout growing up in a Depression-era Southern town. A black man has been wrongly accused of raping a white woman, and Scout’s father, the resolute lawyer Atticus Finch, defends him despite threats and the scorn of many.

Iowa State researchers to pay students to eat GMO bananas DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa State University researchers are moving ahead with a long-delayed project in which a dozen students will be paid to eat genetically modified bananas.

The Des Moines Register (http://dmreg.co/1WujWX3) reports that the bananas were developed by scientists at Queensland University of Technology in Australia and have a gene that’s supposed to help people living in Africa make vitamin A. “In Uganda and other African countries, vitamin A deficiency is a major contributor to deaths in childhood from infectious diseases,” Wendy White, a food-science professor who is leading the university’s trial, wrote in a statement released by the university in 2014. “Wouldn’t it be great if these bananas could prevent preschool kids from dying from diarrhea, malaria or measles?”

White sent an email to students in the summer of 2014 seeking 12 female volunteers to eat an equivalent of three bananas each, one of which would be the genetically modified type. The participants would eat a diet, including the bananas, for four

days during each of three study periods, then have their blood tested. They would be paid $900 each.

The trial has been criticized because natural-food proponents say genetically modified foods can be dangerous. The experiment’s proponents say the gene came from a different type of banana and is completely safe to eat.

Earlier this week, activists delivered petitions calling on the project’s halt to university officials and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which is funding the project.

The activists said more than 57,000 people signed the petition.

“ISU students are being asked to be the first to consume a product of unknown safety,” the activists said in a prepared statement. “The study is not being conducted in a transparent manner, and concerned ISU community members have not been able to receive answers about the research design, risks, nature of the informed consent given by the subjects and the generalizability of the study.”

The trial is expected to take place sometime this year.

Ted Cruz seeks to replicate the Iowa ground game GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) — For months, Ted Cruz’s campaign has touted an expensive and sophisticated getout-the-vote operation as its antidote to Donald Trump’s broad populist appeal.

It worked for Cruz in Iowa. But Saturday’s South Carolina primary will be a tougher test for the Texas senator, one that could shape the race between the anti-establishment rivals as the GOP contest heads toward delegate-rich March voting states.

Unlike in Iowa, where Trump and Cruz were locked in a tight battle heading into the caucuses, the billionaire businessman has held a big lead in South Car-

olina for months. At least four times as many Republicans are expected to vote in the first-in-the-South primary as in Iowa, where the tiny electorate and caucus-style contest made campaign organization paramount.

Still, Cruz’s campaign believes it can replicate its data-focused, volunteer-heavy strategy in South Carolina, as well as the flurry of other Southern states that vote in the coming weeks. Some 10,000 Cruz volunteers are blanketing South Carolina, according to the campaign, with another 10,000 at work in Georgia, 8,000 in Tennessee, 7,000 in Oklahoma and a staggering 27,000 in Cruz’s home state of Texas.

■

GREENFIELD – The music and lives of Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams and Patsy Cline will take center stage at Warren Cultural Center (WCC) in Greenfield when “Sweet Dreams and Honky Tonks” performs 7 p.m. Saturday, March 6.

This new revue by a six-member band from Wisconsin presents the best loved songs of these classic artists along with stories of their colorful lives and careers. It’s impossible to crown any one performer as country music’s biggest star, but these four would all be near the top of any list. Each broke barriers and changed country music and popular culture forever.

“The music was as familiar as an old friend, but the singing and style were fresh, exciting and before the first song had ended, the audience was captivated,” one reviewer said.

Tickets are on sale now at Ed and Eva’s in Greenfield, by calling 641-7432566 or online at warrenculturalcenter.com.

All seats are $25 for this premier series show, presented in the WCC’s Norman Lear Theater.

The premier series is made possible by the support of these sponsors: Adair County Abstract Company, Adair County Farm Bureau and Farm Bureau Financial

This presentation is supported by the Arts Midwest Touring Fund, a program of Arts Midwest that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional contributions from the Iowa Arts Council, the Crane Group and General Mills Foundation.

The “Sweet Dreams” show caps a weekend of cultural variety at the WCC. At 7 p.m. Friday, March 4, the University of Iowa Latin Jazz Ensemble will perform. Admission is by donation, but $10 per adult is suggested.

On Saturday, five award-winning artists will conduct a workshop and talk. Winners of the 2015 Iowa Arts Council Artist Fellowships will be at the WCC to talk about their creative work. A free “Zine” making workshop (simple comic-book like art and writing) will start at 2 p.m., led by Rachel Buse and Rob Stephens.

At 4 p.m. all the artists will talk about their work, followed by a reception; others are Matt Drissell, Larassa Kabel and Lisa Schlesinger.

known locally as an Islamic State militant, he said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared for his safety.

The official Facebook page of the Sabratha local city council also put the death toll at more than 40 with more wounded, some critically. “There are torn body parts buried under the rubble,” it said in a posting.

It noted that the victims were not all Libyans. The witness said he saw a hospital list that noted victims were from Tunisia and Algeria as well as Libya.

The Islamic State also claimed responsibility for a June 2015 attack at the Tunisian resort of Sousse in which 38 people were reported killed.

A witness in the city said he heard two explosions at 3:30 a.m. coming from the nearby village of Qasr Talel.

Return to sender ... ahead of time Dear Heloise: After reading many library E-BOOKS this past year, I recently made a discovery: After finishing a book, if I touch and hold the title of the book on my bookshelf, I can return the book immediately.

They are automatically returned on the due date, but with so many great books available and so many readers waiting, why not use this feature and return them early? — Sharon in Middletown, Ohio Sharon, how thoughtful of you, and I’m delighted to pass this along to my readers.

E-books are books you “borrow” and download to your electronic device to read.

Just like borrowing a print book, there is a time limit that you can keep the electronic version. So if you finish the book before it “goes back” to the library, please return it so it is available for others to read. Most copyrighted books have a set number that can be loaned out electronically.

Readers, if you haven’t visited a public library in a while, it’s time to do so. It’s not just books anymore! You can borrow electronic books and movies, and there also are CDs you can take home. Just so much for you — free! Your

Hints from Heloise tax dollars pay for this fabulous service, so take advantage of it.

Keep reading for fun, too!

— Heloise HOODIES FOR AIR TRAVEL Dear Heloise: Hoodies get a bad rap nowadays, but I like to take one on the plane when I travel. I purchased a light-colored one and wear it whenever I travel by plane.

I put the hood over my head when I want to take a nap or escape from the noisy chatter around me that doesn’t include me. It also protects my head from the headrest. You just never know who sat there before you. — Greg, via email Greg, a hoodie is great for travel of any kind. A busy, noisy flight can cause a headache! Your hint is one way to cope with outside disturbances. I travel with a lightweight shawl that I use for a pillow, a scarf, to cover my legs and, oh yes, as a shawl! — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO:

They still seem to have enough power to last a while longer. — Mr. Syd L., Columbus, Ohio Syd, many small electronics that aren’t used much and don’t need as much “juice” are perfect for a second-life battery.

Horoscope Saturday, Feb. 20, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today your focus will be on sports events, the arts, the theater, social excursions and playful times with children. Romantic diversions will appeal.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A conversation with a parent might be significant today.

In any event, you will enjoy cocooning at home if you can.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) In conversation with others today, you want to talk about something meaningful.

You don’t want trivial chitchat about the weather.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You are never casual about money. Today is a good day to take a look at your assets and figure out what you are really worth. Information is power.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The Moon is in your sign today, which can make you a bit more emotional than usual.

However, it also can attract a bit of good luck to you!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Work alone or behind the scenes today, because you want to withdraw from the busyness of everything around you. Close friends and partners are a major focus now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A conversation with a female acquaintance could be important today. This is also a good day to discuss your future goals with someone. Perhaps that’s what you want to do?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Private information about your personal life might be made public today. One thing is certain, people will notice you. Just be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Do something different today. Go someplace you’ve never been before. You’re hungry for adventure and a change of scenery. Naturally, if you can travel somewhere, by all means do so!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a busy time for you; yet, you cannot ignore shared property, taxes and debt. You might have a dispute with someone about something.

Group activities will introduce competition for some reason.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be prepared to compromise and accommodate oth-

ers today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. This is not a big deal — it’s a gentle influence.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today you want to be efficient and effective. You want your efforts to count. Start your day my making a to-do list so that you can be as productive as possible.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a quality that makes others remember you. In turn, you

have a vivid memory and see your world in very visual terms.

This year is one of growth and building. Initially, this will take place quietly beneath the surface. Wait until next year to make major changes. If you can reduce your overhead, you will strengthen your financial position.

by Adonica Struhar and showcasing 15 acrobats, won elite high gold, fourth overall in their age division and the choreography award. “Super Bass,” a junior large group clogging number, received elite high gold, won second overall in their age division and earned a judge’s choice award. “All Shook Up,” a petite tap solo performed by Caylon Hull, 7, was awarded elite high gold, placed first overall in his age division and was given the Excellence in Showmanship Award.

Additional Spotlight group routines were awarded: “Funny Bone,” petite small group jazz, elite high gold, first overall, judge’s choice award; “Sad Day,” junior small group jazz, high gold, third overall; “Stay Calm,” petite large group hip hop, elite high gold, fifth overall; “What I Like About You,” junior large group variety act, high gold; “Make ‘Em Laugh,” junior large group musical theatre, platinum, fourth overall; “I Love It,” teen small group jazz, high gold; “Growing Up,” teen large group lyrical, high gold; “Mad World,” senior small group contemporary, elite high gold, second overall; “Devil May Cry,” senior large group contemporary, elite high gold, third overall. “Never Gonna Change,” contemporary duet, (Emma Lucas, 14, and Micha Stephens, 15), high gold, fourth overall; “Camille, Collette, and Fifi,” senior musical theatre trio, (Angela Drey, 16, Bailey Hopkins, 16, and Maya Struhar, 16), platinum, first place overall.

Kent Dinner Club met on Feb. 11 at Pizza Ranch with 14 members attending.

Next meeting will be 5:30 p.m. March 10 at Pizza Ranch.

Creston Ladies Literary Circle

Creston Ladies Literary Circle met at the home of Linda Hartsock on Feb. 12.

President Hartsock called the meeting to order. Roll call and minutes of the previous meeting were approved as read by secretary Jean E. Mark. Dyan Huffman gave the treasurer’s report.

Hartsock as member of next year’s program committee explained the theme of next year’s program. Books reviewed are to be autobiographies, biographies or memoirs of famous authors.

Gibson Memorial Library has several that would qualify and a list of other titles was also made available. The book for Oct. 21 will be one that all members read and then discuss.

Marcia Fulton, member of the program committee, then introduced Huffman, who reviewed “Go Set a Watchman” by Harper Lee. “Go Set a Watchman” is set during the mid-1950s and features many of the characters from “To Kill a Mockingbird” some 20 years later. Jean Louise Finch, also known by her nickname Scout, has returned to Maycomb, Alabama, from her new home in New York to visit her father, Atticus Finch. An adult living in the north and in a much different social setting, Jean Louise is forced to grapple with issues both personal and political as she tries to understand her father’s attitude toward society and her own feelings about the place where she was born and spent her childhood. It is a crushing blow to her when she discovers the pamphlet that supports segregation among her father’s papers, and then she attends a town meeting of the prominent leaders, which includes her well-respected father and realizes they seem to hold that same opinion.

We are reminded that as a child she saw her father, an attorney, successfully de-

fend an innocent black man accused of raping a white woman. She always thought of her father as a hero. She feels betrayed as she realizes that her father, living in that small southern town, seems to embrace the racist attitude that surrounds him.

Emotions run high as she confronts her father and her aunt and then has to readjust her own thinking.

Isaiah 21:6 is a verse from the Bible that reminds us there is no such thing as a collective conscience, and we must all make our own moral decisions.

Two beautiful and delicious cakes to choose from and lots of good visiting among friends followed the review.

The next meeting will be Feb. 19 at the home of Vera Fengler. Connie Purdum will be reviewing “The Woman Who Would Be King” by Cara Kooney.

GRMC auxiliary board

Joan, Nancy, Lois, Martha, Carolyn, Jessica and Rhonda attended the Feb. 8 meeting of the GRMC auxiliary board. Minutes for January were approved as was the financial report.

Fundraisers were discussed, including the Books are Fun Sale on Feb. 16, the $5 Jewelry Sale on March 15, assisting the Foundation during RAGBRAI and providing $500 for a DJ during the GRMC’s 25th-annual golf event. Martha will head up the annual membership drive; memberships cost $10 for one year or $100 for lifetime.

The literacy project books have been ordered and will be available upon delivery.

The final payment of $3,000 for the electronic GRMC sign will be paid immediately.

Scholarship applications are due soon. Jessica is composing a bulletin board showcasing the past scholarship winners who are currently employed by GRMC. In the administrator’s report, Monte Neitzel stressed the importance of accessibility to excellent and immediate health care and the steps GRMC is taking to achieve that goal. He also related that the safety of the staff

and clients is of utmost importance. He is confident the GRMC staff is well trained in diffusing situations. GRMC has purchased an additional building for future expansion of services.

Dates to remember: Bloodmobile on Feb. 22 and next meeting on March 14.

A READERSHIP FEATURE OF THE CRESTON NEWS ADVERTISER ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT

What you can do to protect yourself from card fraud (BPT) - You may have already received your new credit or debit card equipped with a microchip. If you haven’t received your new chip card, you most likely will by the time your card expires.

The EMV chip technology is intended to help reduce debit and credit card fraud, and thanks to a collaboration between America’s payment networks and card-issuers, you’ll see many more merchants using EMV-equipped card readers over the coming months.

Chip-enabled cards store the same basic information that’s already in the magnetic strip on the back of your card, such as the card number and expiration date.

They add a layer of fraud protection by producing a single-use code to validate every transaction. While EMV technology is intended to reduce card fraud, it’s still important to be aware of how fraud happens, what you can do to prevent it and what your card-issuer does to help protect you.

“Fraud prevention is a partnership between cardholders and the bank,” said Pam Codispoti, president of Chase Consumer Branded Cards. “By working together, we can help customers keep their accounts safer and more secure.”

Chase offers some tips to help you stay alert to fraud while you holiday shop and in the New Year: • Keep your contact information, including phone number and email address, up to date so the card issuer can contact you quickly if they detect signs of fraud on your account.

• Review your card agreement to be sure you understand what anti-fraud measures the issuer takes. For

example, Chase uses specialized monitoring tools to keep an eye on your account 24/7.

• If your card company or bank offers it, sign up for account alerts to monitor your finances and keep your accounts safe. Most issuers will allow you to choose to be alerted to any unusual account activity via text, email or phone call.

• Review your statements every month to ensure all charges are accurate and authorized by you. If you spot a charge you don’t recognize, contact the card issuer or bank immediately. With the shift to greater use of EMV technology, if fraud occurs on your account and you have a chip-enabled card, the merchant will be responsible for the costs in most situations. Also, banks like Chase offer zero liability protection - you won’t be held responsible for unauthorized charges made with your card or account information.

• Monitor your credit reports. Although you’re entitled to a free report from all three major credit bureaus once a year, checking your report more often can help catch signs of fraud earlier.

• Opt for secure paperless billing. Theft of paper documents, such as from your mailbox or trash, is still a top way fraudsters obtain information. By going paperless, you eliminate an opportunity for someone to steal your statement and get your account information.

• Switch to secure online or mobile payments to help protect your account information. Online payments add layers of security to your transaction and can help ensure you never miss a payment.

Scholarships available for in-demand manufacturing training DES MOINES – Elevate Advanced Manufacturing, a nonprofit initiative spreading the word about career opportunities in manufacturing, is offering 15 scholarships for $500 to Iowa high-school seniors interested in studying a manufacturing-related career at one of Iowa’s 15 community colleges, including Southwestern Community College (SWCC) in Creston.

One award will be made per college region.

“Manufacturing firms

supply more than 208,858 jobs to Iowans,” said Mike Ralston, president of the Iowa Association of Business and Industry. “These well-paying careers require education and training beyond high school but don’t require the often burdensome cost of a bachelor’s degree. Recent studies have shown that two-year degree and technical certificate-holders, especially in high-demand manufacturing occupations, can earn salaries thatT:5.125” surpass those

of four-year college graduates.”

Last year’s SWCC recipient was Jesse Shepherd of Creston, a 2015 Creston High School graduate, whose major is industrial maintenance technology.

Interested candidates should apply by completing the application at www. elevateiowa.com (click on “About”). Applications are due April 1. Examples of training programs to which the scholarship can apply include welding, computer

numerically controlled machining, industrial automation, industrial maintenance, robotics, tool and die and transportation and logistics.

Elevate Iowa is a statewide, integrated marketing campaign to promote careers and educational pathways in advanced manufacturing. The initiative is directed by a coalition of all 15 Iowa community

colleges represented by the Iowa-Advanced Manufacturing (I-AM) Consortium, the Iowa Association of Business and Industry, the Iowa Department of Workforce Development, the Iowa Department of Education, the private manufacturing sector and the State of Iowa.

Seven Panthers survive day one Creston/O-M leads Class 2A field

NATIONAL DIGEST

Terps upset MINNEAPOLIS — Williams Arena public address announcer Dick Jonckowski celebrated his 30th season of calling games at The Barn on Thursday, and as the clock ticked down on one of the most surprising nights of his career, he couldn’t contain himself.

“Gophers win! Gophers win! Gophers win!” Jonckowski hollered as more than 10,000 fans rushed the court. “How about that?

The Gophers win!”

Nate Mason had 18 points, six rebounds and six assists to help Minnesota get its first Big Ten win of the season with a stunning 68-63 upset of No. 6 Maryland, the Golden Gophers’ first victory in more than two months.

Jordan Murphy added 17 points and 11 rebounds and Joey King had 15 points and six boards for Minnesota (7-19, 1-13), which shot just 33 percent.

Sparty wins EAST LANSING, Mich. — Denzel Valentine started off as a passfirst guard before taking — and making — shots of his own.

Valentine had 24 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds, leading No. 8 Michigan State to a 69-57 victory over Wisconsin on Thursday night.

Spartans coach Tom Izzo, though, lamented that the senior didn’t end up with his third triple-double.

“I’m just mad at him,” Izzo said. “He got tired.

He could’ve had a few more rebounds.”

The Spartans (22-5, 9-5 Big Ten) went from eighth place in the conference into a four-way tie for fourth with their sixth win in seven games.

Michigan State’s Bryn Forbes scored 17 and Eron Harris had 10 points.

The Badgers (1610, 8-5) had won seven straight games dating to their victory Jan. 17, at home against Michigan State.

Wisconsin’s Ethan Happ scored 18 points and Bronson Koenig had 12 with a scoring surge late in the game.

UK holds on LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky’s relatively close margin of victory than in its previous three routs belied how it thoroughly controlled Tennessee.

The 14th-ranked Wildcats made long shots, worked the boards and kept their poise along with the lead — which of course is the biggest difference from their previous meeting against the Volunteers.

Jamal Murray scored 28 points, Derek Willis made seven 3-pointers for a career-high 25 and Kentucky beat Tennessee 80-70 on Thursday night for its fourth straight victory.

DES MOINES — Creston/O-M head wrestling coach Darrell Frain preaches the importance of winning close matches to his team.

The Panthers three critical close matches here Thursday on day one of the

Class 2A State Wrestling Tournament.

Overall, seven of Creston/ O-M’s eight state qualifiers survived day one, with six of those seven still in the championship bracket.

Creston/O-M ended the first day of competition atop a close battle in the team standings. The Panthers finished day one with 19 points, followed by former Panther

assistant Nick Hemann’s New Hampton squad with 18.5 points, Davenport Assumption with 18 points and South Tama with 17 points.

The Panthers will wrestle quarterfinal and consolation second-round matches at 2:30 p.m, with semifinals and third-round consolation matches beginning at 8:45 p.m.

“All you can do take advantage of opportunities.

We had an opportunity yesterday and didn’t take advantage of it,” Frain said, referencing his team’s semifinal loss to Davenport Assumption in the State Dual Team Tournament. “We had opportunities today and they stepped up. Now the opportunities get a little bit bigger.”

Freese, Hensley advance at state wrestling

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES — Nodaway Valley senior Ben Freese and Bedford/Lenox junior Jared Hensley both advanced at the State Wrestling Tournament here on Thursday.

Both Freese and Hensley started their tournament runs with ranked matchups in the first round of their respective weight classes.

Tenth-ranked Ben Freese wasted little time in not only advancing to this morning’s quarterfinal round, but also in exacting revenge for a match at last year’s state tournament.

Freese lost to Wapsie Valley-Fairbank’s Colin Schrader in last year’s fifth-place match.

But Thursday’s 126-pound match was a different story. Freese took Schrader, ranked fourth, down within the first 10 seconds of the match, straight into a cradle for a five-point move.

“He did exactly what he was supposed to do — get out there and get after it, set the tone right away,” Nodaway Valley head coach Jeff Ohnemus said. “We knew if we could get on top of him, that’s what we do best. We’re mean on top and he got on top of him and started ripping his arms off, got him in that first cradle. He goes out, fights off a shot and gets around, gets his two and goes right to work.”

After the two grapplers went out of bounds and reset in the center with Freese on top, Freese immediately hit a cradle again for the pin in 1:23.

“He just kept balling up, so I knew I could hit that cradle easily,” Freese said.

“Just put him to his back and pinned him. I just went out there and wrestled as hard as I could.”

Freese met second-ranked Bryce West (50-0) of Highland Riverside in this morning’s quarterfinal round. West beat Freese in last year’s opening round, Freese on his way to the state title.

Hensley rebounds Class 2A fifth-ranked Hensley also found himself facing a higher-ranked opponent in the first round in top-ranked 120-pounder Josh Portillo of Clarion-Goldfield-Dows.

Nodaway Valley sinks Diagonal with second-half surge, 78-57

By LARRY PETERSON their careers alive against

CNA sports writer lpeterson@ crestonnews.com

GREENFIELD – You don’t have to tell Darrell Burmeister about Diagonal’s rich basketball history.

He discovered it early in his career as a head coach for Bridgewater-Fontanelle in the mid-1980s.

“I know about their program,” Burmeister said Thursday night.

“That was my first loss in my career. At the Lenox tourn a m e n t Burmeister against Diagonal. I think they scored over 100 points on us. I thought, ‘OK, I’ve gotta get better.’ That was 1984 or 1985. They’ve had a strong tradition.”

So, it was no surprise to him that the tiny Bluegrass Conference school gave his perennial Pride of Iowa Conference title contender a good run Thursday in their Class 1A District 13 quarterfinal game.

All five Maroon starters were seniors trying to keep

the Wolverines, and they played like it after recovering from Nodaway Valley’s early 17-5 spurt.

By the end of the first quarter the margin was cut to six (19-13) as Jacob Taylor hit the first of his four 3-pointers with 30 seconds left.

Taylor’s 3-pointer at the 3:07 mark of the second quarter cut it to 27-23. Jackson Lamb, who scored only nine of his game-high 33 points in the first half, ended the half with a free throw and 3-pointer in the final 17 seconds as the Wolverines took a 35-27 lead into the break.

Taylor and Lamb were lodged in an entertaining scoring duel in the second half — Taylor finished with 24 points — but the depth of the Wolverines played a big part in the fast-paced game.

Nodaway Valley (16-6) outscored Diagonal 43-30 in the second half for a 78-57 victory. The Maroons ended at 12-10, while Nodaway Valley hosts Murray (17-5) at 8 p.m. Tuesday in a quarterfinal matchup after Central Decatur and Lenox play at 6:30.

Those winners meet Feb.

Taylor had 24 points in his final game for the Maroons. Marnin scored 13 points and grabbed 19 rebounds in the Wolverines’ 78-57 victory. That is one rebound short of James Larson’s school record for rebounds in a single game.

25 in Mount Ayr. “We got tired,” said Diagonal coach Matt Warren.

“I thought we came out attacking well on offense and got a lot of free throws. If we could have rebounded

on defense a little better that would have helped. I knew our guys would hang in there and rise to the challenge. I’m proud of the way they battled. They are a good team that makes

open shots. And when they do miss, then what kills you is not getting the rebound.

That caused us some foul trouble.”

Area boys basketball Lenox 68, East Union 48 LENOX — Top-seeded Lenox moved out to a 23-14 lead in the first quarter and sailed to a 68-48 Class 1A District 13 quarterfinal victory over East Union Thursday.

“We shot the ball pretty well and used a lot of guys tonight,” said coach Jesse Cox, whose Pride of Iowa championship team improved to 19-3. East Union bowed out at 7-16.

Mason Gossman scored E a s t Union’s first six points and finished with 15 points.

Mustangs avenge loss with district win GREENFIELD — The Murray Mustangs turned the tables on Mount Ayr when it counted Thursday night.

After leading for three quarters in the regular-season contest at Mount Ayr on Jan. 18, Mount Ayr rallied for a 61-57 victory.

On Thursday in a Class 1A District 13 quarterfinal game, it was the Mustangs who fell behind early before posting a 47-41 victory on the strength of a 19-10 fourth quarter.

“In the first half we executed extremely well on the defensive end, and we were hitting shots,” said Mount Ayr coach Bret Ruggles.

Then they went man-to-man on defense, and we hadn’t seen much of that from them. The critical part of the game was in the third quarter when we got two good looks off our ball screens, and missed them both, and they hit both shots on the other end. Then we had back-to-back-to-back travels and they hit two out of three during that.”

Murray took a 28-26 lead late in the third quarter on a layup by Fisher Decker, but the Raiders answered with two free throws and a 3-pointer by Nick Wurster to hold a 31-28 edge entering the fourth quarter.

Mount Ayr had three consecutive turnovers in the fourth quarter as Murray built a five-point lead at 38-

Ayr shaved it back to one point twice, but never got ahead again as the Mustangs moved on to Tuesday’s semifinals against Nodaway Valley.

Pace quickens “We felt like we were not doing a very good job defensively in our zone in the first half, so we came in at halftime and regrouped and decided that if we’re going to go out, we’re going out playing man-to-man and go after it,” Murray coach Darin Wookey said. “We held them to 15 points in the second half.”

Wookey said the Raiders seemed a little rattled by the Mustangs’ stepped-up intensity.

“Sometimes when you are stuck in a zone defense and a team gets used to that, then all of a sudden you come out playing an aggressive manto-man, it causes them fits,” Wookey said. “They start wanting to play faster than they can.”

Ruggles said he was proud of how his team was executing the game plan until those critical second-half mistakes proved costly.

“If you had told me that (Kenny) Boles would score six points and that we’d have the lead at half, I’d tell you we won that game,” Ruggles said. “We just didn’t play as well in the second half, and you have to give Murray some credit for that.”

“You have to say their defense had a lot to do with our struggles offensively,” Wookey said. “They have a bunch of athletes who move well. Nothing came easy for us.”

Murray (17-5) takes on Nodaway Valley (16-6) at 8 p.m. Tuesday on the same court, after Central Decatur faces Lenox in a battle of Pride of Iowa Conference powers at 6:30.

Five seniors The five seniors on Diagonal’s squad are Kade Means, Levi Harred, Colter Pickering, Gerard Naill and Taylor.

Means, Pickering and Naill all fouled out Thursday.

Jarred scored 13 points and Means finished with 12.

Burmeister said his team wanted to make it a war of attrition.

“We tried to press early on, because they are not real deep on the bench,” Burmeister said. “We wanted to wear them out. We thought it might affect their shooting.

Early on, Jackie tried to do too much and got out of sync.

But in that third quarter he really got into the flow. He hit those two big threes.”

Taylor said a flurry of Lamb baskets midway through the third quarter that pushed the lead from 40-32 to 50-35 was the backbreaker for his team.

“Early on we were playing good defense and he was off a little bit,” Taylor said. “They hit four or five threes there in a bunch in the second half.

We wore down a little bit and they caught fire pretty quick. We knew we could play Taylor with them and we did in the first half. I was proud of our guys, we played well.”

Near record Sam Marnin, Nodaway Valley’s 5-11 post player, scored 13 points and nearly entered the Wolverine record books with his relentless ball pursuit around the basket. Marnin finished with

19 rebounds, including nine on the offensive end.

The only Nodaway Valley player in history to have more rebounds in a game was James Larson, center on the Marnin 2006 state championship team and now coach at Osceola Clarke. His mark is 20 rebounds in a single game.

“We wanted to get Sam in double digits in rebounds in this game and he certainly did that,” Burmeister said.

“He’s very quick to the ball.

I thought Sam and Ryan Jensen played a little bit better defense inside in the second half. Early on we were jump-

ing out to their shooters and leaving the inside open.”

Nodaway Valley made 10 3-pointers in the game, including six by Lamb and one each by Spencer Lamb, Beau Weinheimer and Nate Venteicher, who finished with 11 points.

PANTHERS: CONT. FROM | 1S

Frain said.

Thompson and Mommsen wrestled through regulation locked in a scoreless battle.

But Thompson circled for the winning takedown with just one second left on the clock in the sudden victory overtime period.

Thompson faces unranked Caleb Wilson (45-9) of Denver/Tripoli in the quarterfinal round, with third-ranked Austin Staudt of Charles City or 10th-ranked Kyler Rieck of Spirit Lake Park awaiting as a possible semifinal matchup.

“He’s been ranked high, but nobody’s really even considered him an option to win,” Frain said.

Maitlen provided fireworks of his own in his third meeting with McMillan at the state tournament or state duals in the past three years.

Both wrestlers garnered an escape in regulation, and each was able to score another escape in the 30-second tiebreaker periods, leaving the score deadlocked at 2-2 going into the ultimate tiebreaker.

By virtue of scoring the first point in the match, Maitlen had his choice of position and chose down.

Near the edge of the mat, Maitlen got a reversal for the 4-2 win with 14 seconds left in the ultimate tiebreaker.

“We knew it was going to

HENSLEY: CONT. FROM | 1S

Trailing 2-1 in the first period, Hensley gave up a takedown with just four seconds left on the clock.

Hensley worked on top in the second period and came close to turning Portillo to his back, but couldn’t finish.

“My goal was to at least come out and slow his pace down,” Hensley said. “I couldn’t quite get it done. I got a couple of power halfs in. I was going to try to work it, but he just wouldn’t go. He was tough.”

Portillo hit a fireman’s carry in the third period and pinned Hensley in 4:40.

But the Bedford/Lenox junior rebounded with a quick 1:05-pin of Williamsburg’s Cole Lehn in the consolation first round.

“I couldn’t lose my confidence from the last match,” Hensley said. “That was the biggest key. I had to go out there and wrestle strong, get the first Hensley takedown and do my thing on top.”

Hensley will meet the loser of the quarterfinal match involving Crestwood-Cresco’s Michael Millage (ranked third) or East Marshall/ GMG’s Nick Meling (ranked ninth) in the consolation sec-

come down to that. That’s the reason we took down in the second period, knowing that it could end up in the ultimate tiebreaker. There was nothing in that match that surprised me. Two kids that just busted their rears,” Frain said.

“That Seth Maitlen, he’s got guts. He’s a leader for a reason. Because everybody sees him fight like that. He does that in practice. He doesn’t give anybody a chance to score on him in practice.”

Sophomore Mitchel Swank provided the Panthers with another close win.

Swank lost his first round match 9-7 to PCM’s Xavier Williams after taking control with a 7-2 lead.

After his consolation match with ninth-ranked John Tuttle of Spirit Lake Park ended regulation tied at 3-3, Swank got a takedown in the sudden victory overtime period with 14 seconds Swank left for the 5-3 win.

“Sometimes you just don’t know what you’re going to get from Mitchel,” Frain said.

“Winning one at the end is huge for him mentally, because he’s lost quite a few at the end.”
