The event is free for Union, Adair, Clarke and Ringgold County 4H-ers. Cost is $5 for adults.

As they create musical parodies and speak publicly throughout the country, the Peterson Farm Bros aim to promote agriculture in an educational, yet entertaining way.

Together, Union, Adair, Clarke and Ringgold counties will bring the Peterson Farm Bros to Afton as a thank you to 4-H’ers and their families for their hard work. The Peterson Farm Bros will speak from 6 to 7 p.m. Sunday in the East Union High School gym. A meet and greet will follow.

Admission to the event is free for Union, Adair, Clarke and Ringgold County 4-H’ers in grades four through 12. For the general public, tickets will be sold at the door and cost $3 for youth age 18 and younger and $5 for adults.

Doors open at 5 p.m., and s e a t i n g Jones is first come, first serve.

“We’ve had really high enrollment into the 4-H program the last couple years, so we wanted to treat them to something fun and different,” said Haley Jones, Iowa State Extension youth and outreach coordinator in Union County.

The Peterson Farm Bros, made up of Greg, Nathan, Kendal, and “honorary bro” Laura, are siblings who farm together with

their parents near Assaria, Kansas. They work on a fifth-generation family farm, where they primarily raise beef cattle and grow corn, alfalfa and forage sorghum for cattle feed and wheat, milo and soybeans for cash crops.

On YouTube, the Peterson Farm Bros’ agriculture-related parodies of popular songs and educational videos have garnered millions of views. They have created parodies of a range of songs, from “Takin’ Care of Livestock,” a play on “Takin’ Care of Business”

by Bachman-Turner Overdrive to “All I Do is Farm,” a parody of “All I Do is Win” by DJ Khaled. The brothers also stay active on Facebook.

“Aside from our production on social media, we travel around the country to perform and speak on advocating for agriculture,” Greg writes on their website. “We also blog about

misunderstood topics in agriculture and open up our farm for tours.”

Through both humorous and informative videos and posts, the Peterson brothers seek to educate the general public as to where food comes from and what a real Midwest family farm looks like. “ I t h i n k 4H-ers will learn communication skills as they watch t h e s e Wallace young men and how they communicate their feelings about agriculture to the public,” said Donna Wallace, Adair County 4-H program coordinator. “Because not all 4H-ers are rural anymore – we have 4H-ers who live in cities – there are some who don’t know what real farm

life is like.”

The event is hosted by Union, Adair, Clarke and Ringgold county 4-H programs.

“The Peterson Farm Bros are kind of in the limelight right now, and we thought they would most closely relate to our youth in this area because they’re all about agriculture, and they’re funny,” Jones said. “We think it will be a really fun, engaging event.”

With more than 500 online courses to choose from and an ever-increasing number of non-traditional students, online credit hours are at an alltime high at Southwestern Community College (SWCC).

This semester, online credits make up nearly 30 percent of the total credit hours students are collectively enrolled in at SWCC. “Online (education) allows students the flexibility to take classes in their own time frame,” said Bill Taylor, SWCC v i c e president of instruct i o n .

“This new gen- Taylor eration is used to online learning, and I think it is a good tool for them.”

While taking classes online may be second nature at this point for millennials, many colleges and universities are still exploring the realm of online education and working through its kinks.

New learners Historically, community colleges have attracted non-traditional students, which can mean anything from a young student working full time while in school to a middle-aged student with a family taking classes. So, offering online or distance education is important at community colleges, where non-tradi-

tional students are prevalent.

“I think community colleges are in a good position because we’ve always been the ones who respond to industry needs and who can put together a pro- Greene g r a m quickly,” said Doug Greene, SWCC director of distance education. “We were online before anyone was online.”

Many community colleges are focused on non-traditional students and “new learners,” or those well versed in using technology as a learning tool.

“At a conference I was at recently, it was interesting that four-year schools are just now starting online programs, and they’re where we were 15 years ago,” Greene said. “The question is whether those four-year schools will be able to catch up quickly enough to adjust to the new learner.”

Teaming up SWCC is part of the Iowa Community College Online Consortium with five other institutions: Western Iowa Tech Community College, Northwest Iowa Community College, Iowa Lakes Community College, Eastern Iowa Community College and Southeastern Community College.

Deaths Helen Blunck Mount Ayr

Helen Margaret Reece Blunck, 102, of Mount Ayr died Feb. 20, 2016, at Clearview Home in Mount Ayr. Funeral services will be 11 a.m. Blunck Wednesday, Feb. 24, at United Baptist-Presbyterian Church, west of Mount Ayr, with the Rev. Terry Roberts officiating.

Burial is in Rose Hill Cemetery in Mount Ayr. Open visitation will be from noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb, 23, at Watson-Armstrong Funeral Home, 205 W. Monroe St., in Mount Ayr. The family will be present for visitation at the church from 9:30 to 11 a.m.

Wednesday prior to the service. Memorials are for flower baskets for the Mount Ayr square beautification project.

Online condolences may be left at www.watsonarmstrongfh.com.

Helen, daughter of Martin and Loula (Ernest) Reece, was born July 24, 1913, in Xenia, Illinois. Helen attended schools in Bedford and Mount Ayr. She married Roy Beal and

we probably couldn’t do (online education) on our own because we didn’t have the resources, but we could work together and put all our instructors, classes and students into the mix,” Greene said. “It means we never have a wait list.”

This semester, in the 16week term alone, the consortium offers 495 online classes.

That figure doesn’t include the 12-week or 8-week terms.

Through the consortium, the colleges share instructors and students for online classes, so a SWCC instructor could be teaching students from other colleges or even international students.

SWCC online credits At SWCC, online courses are available for most majors. Additionally, there are a few programs – agricultural business, business and accounting – that can be done entirely online.

During a SWCC board meeting Feb. 10, Beth Kulow, dean of student services, reported the total number of credit hours to date for the spring semester was 15,145. As of Friday,

to this union, daughter Jean Louise was born. They later divorced.

On July 19, 1934, Helen married Roy Blunck in Grant City, Missouri.

Helen was a homemaker and she was employed at Clearview Nursing Home in Clearfield for more than 20 years. Helen served as mayor of Benton for more than 30 years. She was active in the Republican Party. She also belonged to the Christian Church and Rebekah Lodge.

Helen is survived by her children, Jean (Duane) Davenport, Virginia Rees, Joann Trullinger, William (Kathi) Blunck, Linda (Larry) Sickels, Nancy (David) Stephens and Donald (Mary Kathryn) Blunck; son-in-law Don Snedeker; 26 grandchildren with 17 spouses; 39 great-grandchildren; 12 great-great-grandchildren; sister Frances Jeanne (Jean) Underwood of Denver, Colorado, and nephew Scott Underwood.

Helen was preceded in death by her parents; husband Roy; daughter-in-law Audrey (Fruendt) Blunck; son Robert; daughters, Loula Sue (died in infancy) and Judy Snedeker; daughter-in-law Joann (McGilvrey) Blunck; son-in-law William Rees and grandsonin-law John Kunstman.

Vesta Gordon

SWCC data shows 4,535 of the 15,145 are online credit hours. That means about 30 percent are online credits.

“I think that’s pretty typical across the nation in community colleges,” Greene said.

“At the conference I was at, I heard we may be coming to a point where three-fourths of students will be non-traditional. If that holds true, there may be even more so of an increase in online credits.”

The number of students in online courses has been increasing since the inception of distance education at SWCC. In the spring of 2000, there were just 46 students taking online courses.

In spring 2005, there were 238 students, and in spring 2011, there were 835 students taking online classes.

This spring semester, there are 879 students in at least one online course at SWCC. Of those, nearly half (421 students) are in only online courses.

“Sometimes people think online classes are very impersonal, but I’ve found the opposite is true as an instructor – I actually get to know these students better,” Greene said.

“I interact more with my online students than I do with my face-to-face students. In an online class, you get a chance to hear from everybody and respond to everybody.”

Greene said online classes can also be a good fit for students who don’t like to speak up in an educational setting.

“I think there’s a certain student who really thrives in this environment, and it may be that quiet student who’s not necessarily going to be the first person to raise their hand, but in an online environment, they can throw out their opinions and talk to their peers and instructor,” Greene said.

On the administration side, Taylor said online education allows SWCC to have accurate data to help instructors help students succeed.

“We can tell exactly how many minutes a faculty member has been logged in for the class and how many minutes students have been in the class,” Taylor said. “We know if a student spends 48 hours in a class, they’re probably going to get an A. If a student hasn’t logged in for a week,

Benefits

One obvious benefit of online education for students is it gives them the flexibility to take classes on their own schedule. This is helpful for students who work full time, have a family or maybe are on a sports team at SWCC and travel often.

Creston

Vesta Gordon, 98, of Creston died Sunday, Feb. 21, 2016, at Homes t e a d Assisted Living in Creston.

Celebration of life ser- Gordon vices will be 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 24, at First Christian Church - Disciples of Christ in Creston. The Rev. Tony Thurston will officiate the service. Burial will be at Graceland Cemetery in rural Creston. Open visitation will be from 2 to 7 p.m. Tuesday with family present from 5 to 7 p.m.

Tuesday at Powers Funeral Home, junction of highways 34 and 25, in Creston.

Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Vesta Nerine Gordon, daughter of Grace (Branan) Konecne and Ora Konecne, was born Jan. 4, 1918, in Corning. She attended Corning High School and graduated with the class of 1936.

On Jan. 10, 1947, Vesta married Darold Wayne Gordon in Kansas City, Kansas.

we get a notification, and the instructor can call them and ask what’s going on.”

Challenges

In online education, Green said the No. 1 challenge is technology is constantly changing.

“Every time Mozilla or Google Chrome updates its browser, the online system has to update,” Greene said.

“It means if students aren’t good at problem-solving, they’re coming in a couple times during the semester.”

SWCC offers a 24/7 help desk for students to contact with technology issues.

Greene and other staff members are also willing to help students troubleshoot.

On the administration side, a major challenge is ensuring the student who is enrolled is actually the one doing the work.

“We have authentication, and the federal government requires that,” Greene said.

“There are proctored exams, which means you need to go to a testing center to take your mid-term and final. If you’re in the military and are in, say, Afghanistan, maybe a commanding officer or supervisor can be your proctor.”

She worked at various businesses and helped Darold with the books at Creston Super Service. She was a member of the First Christian Church - Disciples of Christ in Creston and was very active with their Sunday school programs and Christian Women’s Fellowship.

Vesta is survived by her daughter Sue Adams of Creston; son Dale (Barbara) Gordon of Sedona, Arizona; grandchildren, Tara (Bill) Ely of Blue Springs, Missouri, Tony (Katherine) Gordon of Mornington, Victoria, Australia, Melanie (Andy) Johnson of Clarinda and Angie (Dave) Lindley of Waverly; great-grandchildren, Adam Johnson, William Ely, Benjamin Lindley, Aidan Johnson, Parker Lindley, Courtney Ely, Blake Gordon, Aylah Johnson and Isla Gordon; brother-in-law Russell Gordon of Lenox; along with many nieces, nephews and extended family.

Vesta was preceded in death by her husband Darold in 2008; her parents; mother- and father-in-law; brothers Dean Konecne and Max Konecne; son-in-law Jerry Adams; great-granddaughter MacKenzie Ely and extended family.

While speaking with a juvenile female who remained in the vehicle, more than 10 shots were fired from a handgun some distance from Lund.

Lund backed away from the immediate scene and requested further assistance.

Officers with Iowa State Patrol, Cass County Sheriff’s Office, Stuart Police Department, Adair County Sheriff’s Office and Greenfield Police Department arrive to assist in the investigation and apprehension of the suspect.

Communication was established with the suspect, and after a short length of time the suspect walked from the residence and was taken into custody. The suspect was identified as Daughenbaugh.

A search warrant was later executed. More than 12 firearms and more than 2 pounds of a substance believed to be marijuana were seized, as well as a scale, ledger for sales and packaging supplies.

Daughenbaugh was released on $5,000 bond.

The incident remains under investigation.

OPINION

When I moved to Monroeville, Alabama, in 1975, it was because of Bill Stewart, not Nelle Harper Lee. Stewart was the publisher of The Monroe Journal, an excellent weekly run by Bill Stewart’s son, Steve, and his daughter-in-law, Patrice.

I needed a job. So did my former husband, Jimmy. We had tried to start our own weekly in Georgia and failed. The Stewarts had no nepotism policy and would hire us both.

It was a sin to miss a Ford payment.

There was no play based on “To Kill a Mockingbird” then.

There were no mockingbird murals painted on the buildings. You sometimes could buy a copy of the famous book at the religious bookstore on the square; sometimes not. A lot of townspeople I met professed never to have read

the book. Some who had didn’t like it, and would say so.

I never met Harper Lee. We would hear after the fact when “Nelle” had been in town.

I did meet Alice Lee, Nelle’s lawyer sister. Jimmy and I shared a car, and one or the other of us lost the Pinto in the constant game of musical cars. Alice gave Jimmy a ride home from a Planning Commission meeting. I talked to her in the courthouse while looking for Sheriff Lynwood Sager to get details of his latest moonshine still bust. Alice Lee was approachable and kind.

I usually was too busy to wor-

ry about the literary legacy that draped the town like Spanish moss. I was describing Juliet sleeves on wedding gowns or typing up community correspondence from Uriah, Repton, Frisco City, Excel, Peterman. Proper ladies would bring in hand-scrawled, indecipherable reports of who had motored with whom from where.

If you misspelled a name, you caught hell.

I learned to spell “boutonniere” and “cummerbund.” There was no “spell check,” only two manual typewriters in an office the size of a phone booth. I misspelled “inoculate” in 72-point type atop a swine flu story while the younger Stewarts were on vacation.

In many ways, Monroeville life was memorable. We were caretakers in a cold old mansion on the edge of town. When temperatures dropped, the water in the toilet

bowls froze. I strapped on my accordion and teamed up with a fiddler to play nursing homes. We ate fried chicken at the Heigh Ho. They cut the Boo Radley oak the year I lived there. Its branches were dropping and posed a threat to schoolchildren who played nearby. We wrote a story about it.

Other than that, I might have been living and working in any town in the Deep South.

It would be a while, still, before universal acclaim and changing attitudes about race convinced the town that one of its own had written a masterpiece, till unsung prophet became cottage industry.

I realized, of course, that I’d been privileged to breathe the same air as Harper Lee. My mother, being my mother, didn’t see it quite that way. She knew someone who knew someone who could get

the author to sign my book. Never one to trust chance, Mother sent a note telling the author how to sign: “From one writer to another,” she instructed.

I kept the note because Lee added a few words before signing, “Best wishes, Harper Lee.” “I don’t know her. What has she written?”

Mother had this to say about that: “You would think Harper Lee read her hometown newspaper!” *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson’s most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ...

Obama visits Cuba in March and meets with socialist leader Raul Castro HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

Pope Francis raised eyebrows Thursday by saying Donald Trump isn’t a Christian because of his support for a border wall. No pope has the right to judge a Protestant. Of course Donald Trump is a Christian, he has got ten thousand carpenters working for him and half of them are named Jesus.

The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday that a Texas couple was accused of water-boarding a twelve-year-old boy. That was simply unacceptable. It’s one thing for George and Laura Bush to be angry over the South Carolina primary results, but they didn’t have to take it out on the paperboy.

Barack Obama visits Cuba in March and meets with socialist leader Raul Castro. It allows for people-to-people exchanges. The American people want the Cuban people to know we’re there for them, and the Cuban people want the American people to know that Bernie Sanders is out of his mind.

Rush Limbaugh accused Pope Francis Thursday of encouraging Latin Americans to illegally migrate into the U.S. in order to convert America into a socialist country. Suddenly socialism is the hot new philosophy. Bernie Sanders is leading all the polls by promising to make America Greece again.

College magazine reviewed the alma maters of the presidential candidates Thursday to review how the campus atmospheres influenced them. This list said it all.

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Trump graduated from Penn, Cruz graduated Harvard, Hillary graduated from Wellesley and Bernie’s alma mater is Jurassic Park.

Kris Jenner revealed she’s afraid Kanye West’s $53 million debt admission may be hurting the Kardashian brand. It’s a brand that’s built on the O.J. murder trial, Kim’s sex tape, Bruce Jenner’s sex change and Lamar’s overdose.

Credit card debt just makes them look too normal to be interesting.

The Los Angeles Times reported last week that Jerry Seinfeld is going to auction off sixteen of his vintage Porsches. It’s so sad. Jerry left his sitcom with a half-billion dollar syndication deal but after eight years of Bush and eight years of Obama he’s selling his cars to pay for his health insurance.

Hillary Clinton called for stricter health rules by the EPA and the FDA. The two agencies had a very bad week. Some conspiracy theorists believe that Justice Scalia died at the West Texas Ranch after a political opponent gave him a burrito from Chipotle’s that had been dipped in the Flint River.

Joe Biden told reporters Friday that he has absolutely no interest in serving as a Justice on the Supreme Court. Republicans hinted they wouldn’t mind a Biden nom-

ination. They know his opening statement at his Senate confirmation hearing would outlast Barack Obama’s remaining time in office.

Pope Francis led a throng of Mexicans across the border into the U.S. from Mexico Thursday to preach a sermon in support of illegal immigration. The locals were very impressed by what they saw.

This pope may be the only man in the world with the courage to wear white after eating chili rellenos.

The Hollywood Reporter says porn actors protested an upcoming vote requiring them to wear condoms and protective eyewear.

Whatever happened to pride in performance? If there’s a problem with eye safety in shooting porn films, actors are going to have to rehearse until they have better aim.

Fox News and Wall Street Journal opposition to Donald Trump as he marches inexorably toward the GOP nomination in July recalls the furious anti-Napoleon headlines in the Paris republican newspapers in 1815 when the deposed emperor landed in France after his first exile and began his march to Paris. “The Bastard Has Reached Boulogne!” the headlines screamed on the first day. Then a week later they read, “The Monster is at Marseilles!”

Then three days later, “The Viper Has Reached Versailles!” Then the next day, the headlines proclaimed, “His Majesty Has Arrived!”

Cosby’s wife slated to give deposition in defamation case

Connie and Rex SpainHower

SpainHower birthday card shower planned

SPRINGFIELD, Mass.

(AP) — Bill Cosby’s wife is slated to answer questions under oath Monday in a defamation lawsuit brought against her husband by seven women who claim the comedian sexually assaulted them decades ago.

Camille Cosby is scheduled to be questioned by a lawyer for the women at the Springfield Marriott.

It is believed to be the first deposition Camille Cosby has given since dozens of women went public with allegations of sexual misconduct against her husband.

Lawyers for the Cosbys

The family of Rex and Connie (Freemeyer) SpainHower is hosting a card shower in honor of the couple’s 60th wedding anniversary.

The couple were married at First Christian Church in Creston Feb. 29, 1956.

Harper Lee was an ordiCards may be sent to them nary woman as stunned as at 1003 N. Spruce St., Cres- anybody by the extraorditon, IA 50801. nary success of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

“It was like being hit over the head and knocked cold,” Lee — who died Friday at age 89, according to publisher HarperCollins — said during a 1964 interview, at a time when she still talked to the media.

“I didn’t expect the book to sell in the first place. I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of reviewers but at the same time I sort of hoped that Ron Kelly maybe someone would like it enough to give me encouragement.”

have argued that she does not have any information on the accuracy of the women’s claims and that her conversations with her husband are confidential under the Massachusetts marital disqualification rule. They attempted to quash the deposition.

Security guards and hotel staff tried to keep reporters from a conference room at the hotel where Camille Cosby was set to be deposed. The room where the deposition was scheduled to take place was cordoned off with a no-entry sign.

A judge had ruled Fri-

day that Camille Cosby’s deposition must proceed.

However, defense lawyers filed an emergency motion late Saturday requesting it be delayed, saying the 71-year-old “has had no involvement with the facts or allegations underlying this case.” They argued her public testimony would create “an unnecessary media circus and personal security threat that serves no purpose other than to harass and embarrass her.”

In a ruling late Sunday, a judge said Monday’s deposition can take place.

The Cosbys have a home

in Shelburne Falls, about an hour’s drive from Springfield, where the lawsuit was filed. The couple has been married for 52 years.

A lawyer for the women argued that because Camille Cosby has been the TV star’s wife and business manager, she could have useful information.

The plaintiffs in the Massachusetts defamation case are among about 50 who have accused Bill Cosby of sexual misconduct.

In December, Cosby, 78, was charged in Pennsylvania with drugging and sexually assaulting a former

Temple University employee at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. Cosby has pleaded not guilty. This month, a judge denied a motion by Cosby’s lawyers to dismiss the charges. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 8.

Cosby’s lawyers have said in court papers that the deposition is “nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to pressure (the) defendant in the face of subjecting his wife to the shame and embarrassment of responding to questions about his alleged infidelities and sexual misconduct.”

“To Kill a Mockingbird” may not be the Great American Novel. But it’s likely the most universally known work of fiction by an American author over the past 70 years, that rare volume to find a home both in classrooms and among voluntary readers, throughout the country and beyond.

Lee was cited for her subtle, graceful style and gift for explaining the world through a child’s eye, but the secret to the novel’s ongoing appeal was also in how many books this single book contained. “To Kill a Mockingbird” was a coming-of-age story, a courtroom thriller, a South-

ern novel, a period piece, a drama about class, and — of course — a drama of race.

“All I want to be is the Jane Austen of South Alabama,” she once observed.

The story of Lee is essentially the story of her book, and how she responded to it. She wasn’t a bragger, like Norman Mailer, or a misanthrope like J.D. Salinger or an eccentric or tormented genius. She was a celebrity who didn’t live or behave like a celebrity. By the accounts of friends and Monroeville residents, she was a warm, vibrant and witty woman who played golf, fished, ate at McDonald’s, fed ducks by tossing seed

corn out of a Cool Whip tub, read voraciously, and got about to plays and concerts. She just didn’t want to talk about it before an audience.

“To Kill a Mockingbird” was an instant and ongoing hit, published in 1960, as the civil rights movement was accelerating. It’s 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.

Praised by The New

Yorker as “skilled, unpretentious, and totally ingenious,” the book won the Pulitzer Prize and was made into a memorable movie in 1962, with Gregory Peck winning an Oscar for his portrayal of Atticus.

“Mockingbird” inspired a generation of young lawyers and social workers, was assigned in high schools all over the country and was a popular choice for citywide, or nationwide, reading programs, although it was also occasionally removed from shelves for its racial content and references to rape.

By 2015, sales topped 40 million copies.

I cut the cards in half and made sure to divide the name and numbers on each card.

The new twist is that I put the divided cards into two piles.

The wait staff is usually impressed, because they’ve never seen anyone do this.

Many communities are banning plastic one-use bags. In addition to using cloth or reusable plastic tote bags, I reuse paper grocery bags for months until they wear out. I reuse clean plastic produce bags when I shop. Every bit helps.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Home, family and your private life are your focus today. In fact, this is the perfect day to cocoon at home if you get a chance. You need a breather.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Relations with siblings, neighbors and relatives will be important today. It’s a good day to talk things through and let your hair down.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Take note: Your focus is on money and cash flow today. However, this is a poor day to spend money on anything other than gas or food. Postpone important purchases until tomorrow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) The Moon is in your sign for most of this day, which gives you a little edge over everyone else. Just enjoy this benefit. Postpone purchases until tomorrow (except for food and gas).

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) At this time, you want to get better organized. Keep this motivation because it’s a good one; however, today you might want to hide behind the scenes.

It is what it is.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A conversation with a female acquaintance will be casual today. This is an easygoing day, and it’s a good time to enjoy the company of others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Personal details about your private life might be made public today. Don’t overreact.

Just go with the flow. Make sure what people say about you is correct.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today you want to get outta Dodge and escape somewhere.

Basically, you need a change of scenery and a chance to blow off some steam.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your focus today is on inheritances, insurance issues and shared property. However,

this is a poor day to make important decisions regarding these matters. Wait until tomorrow.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Because the Moon today is opposite your sign, you have to cooperate and compromise a bit. This requires very little effort — no biggie.

YOU BORN TODAY Sacrifice is a theme in your life. You give a lot to a cause, and in turn,

you demand a lot. Great news!

This is perhaps one of the most powerful years of your life — a time of accumulation. The seeds you have planted in the past will now ripen because it’s a time of fruition. This is also a good year to buy and sell.

Rollin’ to ‘The Well’ Mount Ayr defeats No. 8-ranked Grand View Christian to advance to the state tournament

National Digest

Season sweep MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia’s Jaysean Paige scored a career-high 34 points Monday night to lead No. 14 West Virginia to a 97-87 victory over No. 17 Iowa State.

In their highest-scoring output in the Big 12 this season, the Mountaineers (21-7, 10-5) avoided their first threegame losing streak in two years and swept the regular-season series from the Cyclones (19-9, 8-7).

In losses to Texas and Oklahoma, Paige went a combined 4 of 18 from the field. Paige, who comes off the bench by design for West Virginia, made 12 of 21 shots and all nine free throw attempts against the Cyclones, eclipsing a 26-point performance last month against Kansas.

Teammate Tarik Phillip was no slouch, either, making 6 of 8 3-point attempts and finishing with a career-high 22 points, also off the bench.

Abdel Nader scored 23 points to lead six Iowa State players in double figures.

Same leaders (AP) — Villanova remains No. 1 in The Associated Press college basketball poll, holding its comfortable lead over Kansas.

The Wildcats (24-3) received 45 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel on Monday for its third week on top of the poll. Kansas (23-4) was No. 1 on 20 ballots to hold second.

Villanova will have its toughest test yet as the top-ranked team when the Wildcats travel to No. 5 Xavier on Wednesday.

Oklahoma and Virginia are tied for third and are followed in the top 10 by Xavier, Michigan State, North Carolina, Iowa, Arizona and Maryland.

No. 21 Texas A&M and No. 22 Utah return to the rankings this week, replacing Dayton, which dropped out from 15th, and Providence, which was 23rd. Iowa State is 17th.

Fastest to 50 ATLANTA (AP) The Golden State Warriors reached 50 wins faster than any team in NBA history.

With their eyes on more than regular-season records, the Warriors improved to 50-5 as Stephen Curry scored 36 points and Golden State bounced back after squandering a 23-point lead to beat the Atlanta Hawks 102-92 on Monday night.

The Warriors eclipsed the mark set by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who needed one more game to win their 50th.

Of course, that’s the team Golden State is chasing, moving another step closer to the record 72-10 mark put up by Michael Jordan & Co. at the height of their six-titles-in-eight-years dynasty.

JOHNSTON — “I was just trying to take some deep breaths and trying to build up some confidence in myself to make at least one (free throw) to build the lead to three.”

Mount Ayr’s Macy Larsen went to the line with 7.4 seconds remaining in overtime of the Class 1A Region 6 Larsen final here M o n day night with the Raiderettes leading 53-51 over No. 8-ranked Grand View Christian.

The Thunder had knocked down 10 3-pointers in the contest, adding pressure for the junior point guard to convert at the charity stripe.

Each quarter in regulation had ended in a deadlock, 1111; 19-19; 32-32 and 44-44.

Larsen knocked down the first to extend the lead to 54-51, but the second free throw missed to the right.

“I went outside and I was lucky enough to get the (offensive) rebound and put it back in,” said junior Kelcie Shields.

“It was crazy, very emotional. I thank all K. Shields my teammates for

Members of the 2015-16 Mount Ayr girls basketball team display their state qualifier banner after 56-51 overtime victory over Grand View Christian in the Class 1A Region 6 final on Monday. It’s the first trip to state for the Raiderettes since 2011.

working hard and playing as a team.”

The putback sealed Mount Ayr’s victory, 56-51.

This is the team’s first trip to the state tournament in five years. The Raiderettes also finished second in 2010.

Mount Ayr will play No. 1-ranked Turkey Valley (24-0) 10 a.m. Monday at Wells Fargo Arena in the first round of the Girls State Basketball Tournament.

“There is nothing better than winning with your teammates, celebrating with your t e a m mates,” s a i d Mount Ayr head c o a c h Thad Streit. “It is Streit

priceless. You can’t beat it.”

Finding their rhythm

The Raiderettes (18-7) started the season in an unfavorable fashion, dropping below .500 at one point.

Streit said he really saw a change in the team dynamic during the Christmas break.

“We were so close, losing so many games that were just nail-biters,” Streit said.

“Over Christmas break, things just started to come together. We knew once the big wheel started going, it wasn’t going to stop.”

In order to keep that momentum going, the Raiderettes had to shut down an undefeated Grand View Christian team with lethal long-range shooters and fullcourt defensive pressure.

“I knew I had to take care of the ball, that was my job

First-quarter blitz buries Panthers in district opener

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

GLENWOOD — After losing by 25 points at home to Glenwood in early December, the Creston boys traveled to Glenwood on Feb. 8 and fell by just 14 points (86-72).

So, there was a positive trend on the horizon when the Panthers returned to take on the seventh-ranked Rams Monday night to open Class 3A District 16 play in the second game of a postseason doubleheader. (No. 10 Atlantic defeated Winterset in the opener, 79-59.)

And, during the opening two minutes, with senior Cooper McDermott canning two of his four 3-pointers in the game, the Panthers were deadlocked at 6-6 with the Rams, who finished as tri-champion of the Hawkeye 10 with Harlan and Carroll Kuemper Catholic.

Then, it was like a video game that pushed to a higher speed level, with one team not having the change kick in. Glenwood’s fullcourt press that morphs into fast break layups and transition

3-pointers suddenly zoomed the score to 21-8 over the next four minutes.

At the same time, Panther 6-7 center Tucker Flynn had picked up his third foul before the quarter ended.

It was a recipe for a rout. In a game where the margin reached 40 points with a mercy rule running clock in the second half, Glenwood finished with a 76-38 victory. The Rams (18-4) take on Atlantic (18-4) at 7 p.m. Thursday at Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln High School. Those teams split two games during the regular season.

“They turned up the speed of the game with their press and kind of kept their foot on the gas,” said Creston coach Taylor Phipps. “We just weren’t able to get stops and get scores to keep up with them. They definitely shot well, and we didn’t do a good enough job of getting out and putting pressure on their shooters.”

coming into this game,” Larsen said. “I felt like our coaches really prepared us for that. Their pressure was pretty tough to handle, but we got it done.”

At the end of the first half, the teams were tied 19-19.

Megan Warin netted seven points in the first half to lead the Raiderettes, converting on fast break opportu - Warin nities by breaking the Thunder’s press.

“The gym was louder than it has ever been,” said Kirsten Dolecheck. “We were trying to all communicate even though you

couldn’t hear anything out there.”

Points in the paint

To start the second half, Mount Ayr was able to find success with their high-low game to Tess Shields and Kelcie Shields. Grand View repeatedly answered any Mount Ayr run with a string of 3-pointers. The Thunder was led by Megan Stubbs with 16 points and Shaylah McCool with 15.

“That has been our strength, to spread the floor,” said Grand View Christian head coach Jason Blunk. “We have a number of girls that can knock down shots.”

Late push not enough for Wolverines

CNA staff reporter irichardson@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — The Wolverines clawed back from a 10-point deficit here Monday night to tie the game at 33-33 with five minutes to go, but solid endgame defense pulled the undefeated Exira/EHK Spartans to a 41-35 win and their second consecutive trip to the 1A Girls State Basketball Tournament.

“We really thought we could play with them, and I think we did,” said Nodaway Valley head coach Tom Thompson. “We just had a few too many turnovers, and that was the difference.”

The Wolverines, who came in at 18-5, jumped to a quick 10-3 lead in

the opening minutes of the game.

Exira/EHK answered with its own 9-3 scoring run, pulling within one at the end of the first quarter. Two baskets by Spartan sophomore Kealey Nelson in the middle of the second put Exira/EHK up 20-19, ending the Wolverines’ lead for the night.

Coming out of halftime ahead 23-21, the Spartans went on an 8-0 scoring run in the opening five minutes of the half. But the momentum began to turn when Nodaway Valley’s Paige McElfish made a shot near the lane, drawing a foul in the process. Jessica Nelson recovered the rebound on McElfish’s missed free throw, grabbed her own rebound after a miss and kicked it out WOLVERINES | 8A

Josie Clarke and Nelson added Wolverine baskets, and a three by Jodi Baudler brought a black-and-purple student section to its feet as the scoreboard showed matching 33s.

“That showed what kind of heart (they have) and how bad these girls wanted it,” Thompson said. “We dropped down 10, and we came right back and were able to tie it up. You’ve got to think you’ve got a legitimate chance to win if you do that.”

However, turnovers cost Nodaway Valley late. The Wolverines only scored two in the final five minutes, while the Spartans added eight to finish the game 4135. The Wolverines ended the game with 23 turnovers, off which the Spartans scored 15 points.

While Exira/EHK head coach Tom Peterson said his offense, which averaged more than 60 points per game during the season, wasn’t pretty, he said the defense was.

off the bench, drilling a 3-pointer from the corner to start the fourth q u a r t e r , Hickman 35-32.

“It was a catch-and-shoot reaction, there wasn’t much time to think,” Hickman said.

After Stubbs put back a loose ball to tie the game 44-44, the Thunder regained possession and held the ball for the final shot in regulation. The Raiderette defense held strong to send the game to overtime.

“You saw it on the court, they never quit,” Blunk said.

“That has been their charac-

ter all year long. I can’t ask for more, they came out and battled against a good team.”

Kelcie Shields scored six points in overtime, finishing with 21 points to lead all scorers. Warin finished with 12 points and Tess Shields dropped 11 for the Raiderettes.

“The girls have been in so many close games and played so many ranked opponents,” Streit said. “We just got the job done tonight.

They are just gutsy.”

When Mount Ayr made the state tournament in 2011, assistant coach Tiffany Bolles was the lone senior on the squad. Dolecheck said she is excited to finish her senior season in similar fashion.

“It’s awesome just knowing your season is going to end in ‘The Well’ somehow,” Dolecheck said.

Kirsten Dolecheck, Mount Ayr’s lone senior, drives into the lane on a fast break in the first half against Grand View Christian. The Raiderettes won in overtime, 56-51 to advance to the Girls State Basketball Tournament next week in Des Moines.

PANTHERS: CONT. FROM | 7A

double figures, led by freshman guard Christian Stanislav with 14 points.

“I think our press created offense for us tonight,” said Glenwood coach Curt Schulte, whose team held a 52-18 halftime lead. “We got some steals and some high percentage shots, some layups and all of a sudden that 6-6 score went up to 18-6. That really helped our momentum, the tempo of the game.”

In the 14-point loss to Glenwood earlier this month, Creston made 12 3-pointers including five

by Cody Crawford, four by McDermott and three by point guard Evan Jacobson, who finished with 23 points.

On Monday, Crawford was limited to five points and Jacobson had six.

Freshman Kylan Smallwood had nine points and four rebounds.

“We were fully aware of how Creston can shoot the three, from the time they came over here and scored 72 points on us,” Schulte said. “We wanted to really get out and defend the arc.

We know Jacobson is really quick off the dribble. He had two huge games against us this year. I thought we did a much better job defensively tonight.”

Phipps said his team

got rattled by the active Glenwood press midway through the first quarter, and never got hot enough offensively to stem the tide of momentum.

“We just came in last game and knocked down a lot more shots than we did tonight,” Phipps said. “We were able to keep them off balance a little bit more than we did tonight. I t h o u g h t Phipps we handled their press better the last time we played. For whatever reason we weren’t able to keep up with their speed.”

Creston Community School District Bus Notice As I m sure you realize, beginning July 1, 2016, the recently consolidated Creston Community School District (Prescott School and Creston Schools combined as one) will officially begin operation. This school year has been a year of transition in preparation for the start of the new district.

Therefore, school vehicles from nearby districts have been allowed to enter the Prescott District to transport students while families have a chance to plan for the 2016-2017 School Year.

Please be aware that starting July 1st and continuing into the future, school vehicles from neighboring districts will no longer be allowed to cross the perimeter borders of the new district for the purpose of transporting students unless formally authorized by the Creston Community School District Board of Education or its designees.

This approach aligns with statewide guidelines and is common practice across Iowa. Of course this does not include activity trips for contests, ball-games, field trips, etc., but does include the regular transporting of students to and from school each day. The families of students that may be open-enrolled to nearby districts are responsible for coordinating their children s daily transportation to and from school. It is important that folks make plans as soon as possible for school next fall. Thanks for your support of our local youngsters no matter where they attend school!

Ryan Kucera, Nick Walsh and Curtis Palmer graduate from Monday’s postseason varsity roster, but a majority of the main rotation from the season returns in 2016-17. Phipps said the team is capable of improving on this 6-16 rebuilding campaign.

“There’s definitely an opportunity for a lot of guys to put some time in and we can keep improving and build on a lot of the positives we had this year,” Phipps said.

“Creston has a good young team that is wellcoached,” Schulte said.

“They have great potential to be a very good team down the road.”
