High Lakes Youth Leadership Debate: plans local service projects Rubio, Cruz go hard after Trump

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA staff reporter khaugen@crestonnews.com

The High Lakes Youth Leadership community service projects are set – for now, at least.

It’s up to Creston and East Union high school students in the program to take the steps necessary to complete their projects in Creston and Afton, respectively, on Service Learning Day: April 20.

The purpose of each team of students completing a service learning project is for them to demonstrate their abilities to implement leadership skills through project management, in collaboration with the adults in the High Lakes Leadership program. It’s also a chance to give back to the community.

This year, about 15 students and 15 adults are in the High L a k e s leadership programs. “ O n March 9, Pantini the students will work with the adult leadership class, and they will give a pitch to the adults to recruit adults to come work on their project,” said Wayne Pantini, Union County Development Association executive director. “It’s meant to be kind of a joint project between them; the youth develop the project, and then they use the adults as resources.”

While the students will need to complete some type of service learning project in order to graduate the leadership program, their current project plans are not set in stone.

“It has happened in the past, that for whatever reason, they could take a turn

on what those projects will actually end up being,” Pantini said.

Service projects This is the fourth year of the High Lakes Youth Leadership program. Past service learning projects include working on Bill Sears Park and cleaning up the beach at Three Mile Lake.

Throughout the program, Pantini and guest speakers teach the high school students about a variety of leadership skills and ways to be successful in future careers.

For the service learning projects, students brainstorm ideas, call whoever is in charge of the area of the community they would like to work on to get permission, come up with tasks to complete the project, figure out what resources they need and pitch their idea to adults in the leadership program who will help throughout the process and on project day.

If a project requires funding, the students are

also expected to call businesses to ask for donations of materials or to hold a fundraiser.

“This is a learning experience for the students,” Pantini said. “We’ll let them know what they need to do to complete the project, but ultimately, the accountability comes up to the students to follow up, make the phone calls and complete any fundraising that needs to be done.”

Throughout the process, Pantini visits with the adults in the leadership program to make sure they aren’t taking over the projects.

“From the adult side, we are trying to teach adults that youth can be a resource for our community,” Pantini said. “A lot of these students may eventually be a part of the workforce here, so let’s provide them a good, positive experience while they’re in high school so they’ll begin to step up and volunteer and have some opportunities to ex-

HOUSTON (AP) — Brawling from the get-go, a fiery Marco Rubio went hard after Donald Trump in Thursday night’s Republican debate, lacerating the front-runner’s position on immigration, his privileged background, his speaking style and more.

Ted Cruz piled on, too, questioning the front-runner’s conservative credentials, as the two senators tagteamed Trump in a debate that reflected the increasing urgency of their Cruz effort to take down the billionaire businessman before he becomes unstoppable. It was a rare night where the bombastic Trump found himself on the defensive.

The two-hours-plus debate played out as a raucous night of tit-for-tat insults, with candidates shouting over one another so much that it was hard to follow at times. The showdown came just days before the Super Tuesday 11-state round of mega-voting that could all but lock up the nomination.

When Trump faulted Rubio on a deal to buy a $179,000 house, the Florida senator shot back that if Trump “hadn’t inherited $200 million, you know where Donald Trump would be right now? Selling watches in Manhattan.”

In another rough ex-

change, Rubio accused Trump of shifting his position on deportation, hiring people from other countries to take jobs from Americans and being fined for worker violations.

Joining in, Cruz criticized Trump for suggesting he alone had “discovered the issue of illegal immigration.”

Trump shot back at Rubio: “I hired tens of thousands of people. You’ve hired nobody.”

As for Cruz, Trump took a more personal tack, touting his own ability to get along with others and adding: “You get along with nobody. ... You should be ashamed of yourself.”

Both Rubio and Cruz said that Trump had had Rubio to pay a $1 million fine for illegal immigration hiring.

The candidates were pressed on why they haven’t released their tax returns as promised. The GOP’s 2012 nominee, Mitt Romney, suggested this week that Trump was holding back because there was a “bombshell” that would be revealed.

Trump said he’s been audited by the IRS every year and can’t release his returns while that’s going on.

Rubio and Cruz both promised to release more of theirs in the next two DEBATE | 2A

House OKs resolution over seizure of data The resolution now heads to the Democraticcontrolled Senate, where its future is unclear.

■

DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa House unanimously passed a resolution Thursday that seeks to amend the state’s constitution to add rules for how authorities can search and seize electronic communications and data, though it’ll require several steps to get the issue before voters.

The Republican-majority chamber voted 96-0 for the res-

olution, which now heads to the Democratic-controlled Senate, where its future is unclear.

The amendment would specify that a person’s electronic communications and data are only subject to search and seizure by state authorities with a warrant that shows probable cause. Currently, the state constitution specifies that protection is given to a person and his or her home, papers and other physical items.

Republican Rep. Ken Rizer, of Cedar Rapids, spoke on the House floor in support of the resolution and said there needs to be greater protection regarding new technological advancements. He noted federal law

on electronic communications passed in the 1980s has language that allows authorities to access data on remote servers after a certain period if it’s part of an ongoing investigation.

“When that law was passed, it was before we had cloud-based computing and remote servers, and so it is woefully out of date,” he said. “There’s a huge gap there, and this would cover that.”

The proposal has no registered opposition. The Legislature will need to approve the resolution again next year before it can go before voters in 2018.

March 3 at Regency Park in the center office, 612 Grand Ave., in Creston. Anyone who knew Bill and would like to share memories are welcome to stop by and “Remember Bill.”

William “Bill” Earl Kleckner was born March 3, 1936, to Hulbert Ray and Frances Allen (May) Kleckner in Clearfield. He attended school in the Clearfield Schools. Bill served his country in the United States Navy.

Bill later moved to Cres-

ton where he worked as the airport manager and city dog catcher for the city of Creston until his retirement in 1996.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents; daughter Linda Sue in 1965 and siblings, Flossie, Marion, Orville, Donna, Genevra, Gayle, Franklin, Dora Lee, Belva and Lowanna.

Bill is survived by his wife Lila; son Steven (wife Carolyn) Kleckner; sister Frances Moffitt; three grandchildren, Christopher Young (Shelby), Haley Woods and Lissanne Kleckner; several nieces, nephews and friends.

Trump, for his part, insisted that even though officials in Mexico have said they won’t pay for his planned wall, “Mexico will pay for the wall.” And he said that because Mexico’s current and former presidents had criticized him on the issue, “the wall just got 10 feet

taller.”

Trump, known for his frequent use of coarse and profane language on the campaign trail, scolded former Mexican President Vicente Fox for using a profanity in talking about Trump’s plan for the wall.

A spokesman for House Republicans said Thursday that the national issue and Iowa’s proposed amendment are separate because a search warrant was obtained in the Apple case.

Still, House Majority Leader Chris Hagenow, R-Windsor Heights, called the conversation timely.

“I think a lot of Iowans are focused on the importance of having their electronic data and their communications held private from state action,” he said.

“My understanding is it needs some maintenance in the building,” Pantini said.

“Although it’s at the park, I don’t think it’s officially part of the park’s responsibility to maintain it. The Girl Scout cabin is a place where folks have met before to have meetings or events, so apparently the students recognized that and came up with ideas that maybe they can help stain it and fix some things.”

Creston junior Sky Jones said her team chose the Girl Scout cabin because it needs work, and it shouldn’t cost that much money to renovate it.

“I think we’re going to clean the inside up,” Jones said. “It’s old, so we thought if it looked better on the inside, maybe people would use it more. We also want to put a new door on it.”

The Creston students also hope to help prevent future flooding in the cabin.

“It sits in a low area, so it does have some water issues,” Pantini said. “Maybe they can help tile it or whatever needs to be done there.”

So far in the High Lakes Youth Leadership program, Jones has learned leadership skills that she and the other students are expected to utilize in completing their projects.

“I’ve learned by doing certain things, you can become a good leader,” Jones said.

“One way to be a good leader is by being a role model,

#EndItMovement

DES MOINES – The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation is searching for the top 100 family fishing and boating spots across the nation, and four Iowa state

parks are among those being considered. Iowans participating in the vote can ensure their favorite places to boat and fish are recognized nationally.

Iowa locations include Lake Macbride (Solon), Lake Pahoja (west of Larchwood), Little River Watershed Lake (west of Leon) and Green Valley Lake (northwest of Creston).

Entrants can vote daily until March 27 for the three parks they feel offer the best experience based on family amenities, location and the likeliness to catch a fish or enjoy

a day on the water. The parks with the most votes will be placed on the 2016 America’s Top 100 Family Fishing and Boating Spots list.

A stitch in time ... On the net Dear Heloise: I’ve discovered that if I don’t know how to do something, the Internet can help. I CROCHET, and while following a pattern, I discovered a stitch that I couldn’t get right.

By chance, I checked the Internet and not only found the instructions I was using, but a “how to” video on the stitch. I was able to watch it many times until I got it right.

— Still Learning in San Diego There are a variety of Internet sites with many instructional videos and how-tos, as you say. Please do be mindful that most are good, but some are not. Just because it’s on the Internet does not make it true. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise. com TRAVELING DOWN Dear Heloise: When I travel, I never leave without a down vest. I have neck issues.

Many times when I stay in hotels, they give me rock-hard foam pillows.

I simply slide their pillow

Hints from Heloise out of the case and replace it with my down vest, which acts as a rather flat down pillow. In addition to acting as a backup pillow, it also is a versatile piece of travel clothing. — Lauren, via email Lauren, travel and hotels, beds and pillows - they are never the same! However, you usually can call housekeeping and ask for other pillows: softer ones, harder, foam, etc.

Many major hotel chains have a variety to pick from. Your hint, however, is a winner on all accounts. — Heloise ACCESSORIZING WITH BUTTONS Dear Heloise: I love to sew.

Whenever I make an outfit or dress that requires buttons, I buy at least two more buttons than the amount required.

From the local craft store, I purchase items that I will use to make a matching pair of earrings using the buttons that I have left over.

So I took the large chain links off an old hanging lamp, attached one end to a shower hook and let the rest of the chain hang down.

I then hung that on the clothes rod in my closet. Each loop holds a scarf, and now all of my scarves hang, nicely organized, from that structure.

Horoscope Saturday, Feb. 27, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a strong, positive day.

It’s also a good day for you to deal with banking matters and anything to do with taxes, debt, inheritances and insurance issues.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Because the Moon is opposite your sign, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This just requires a little compromise and tolerance.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It will please you to do something to get better organized today. Set aside 15 minutes to tidy up your life. Throw out five things from your bathroom.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re in a playful mood today! Accept invitations to party and enjoy sports events.

Fun activities with children will appeal to you. Romance rules!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Home, family and your private life are your main focus today.

A conversation with a parent could be significant. Take some time to cocoon at home, if you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You’re eager to talk to others today. However, you want to discuss things that are real and meaningful to you, not just superficial chitchat about the weather. (Although, sometimes the weather is not superficial!)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Attend to banking needs and cash flow details. You might discuss earnings with someone today. You also might want to shop for something important.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today the Moon is in your sign, which gives you a little bit of luck compared with all the other signs. However, it can make you more emotional than usual.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Work alone or behind the scenes today, because this will please you. Family issues seem to be a priority now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A conversation with a female acquaintance will be important today. This is a good day to share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone and get his or her feedback.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Authority figures, especially mothers and female bosses, might figure prominently in

your life today. These discussions might be made public in some way. Be aware of this.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Do something to satisfy your urge for adventure today. Be a tourist in your own city. Go someplace you’ve never been to before. If you can learn something new, especially about other cultures, this will please you.

YOU BORN TODAY You are perceptive and insightful because you observe people

and the world around you.

However, your love life often is chaotic although definitely memorable! This year others will benefit you, which is why your success lies in interacting with others people. Therefore, make friends and join clubs and organizations. If you help others, you will be helping yourself.

COMMUNITY

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, February 26, 2016

Club news Mary Circle

Mary Circle of First Christian Church met Feb. 18 at the church with Joyce Burkhead as hostess. There were 11 members present and one guest.

President Fils called the meeting to order with the disciple women’s prayer.

The secretary and treasurer’s reports were read and approved.

Old business: The kitchen is to be cleaned 9 a.m. April 13.

New business: First Christian Church will host Lent services on March 6. Assignments for bulletin delivery were given. Mary Circle will be in charge of coffee fellowship March 20.

Alice Bowers made a motion to adjourn the meeting.

Barb Jennings seconded.

Ladies Lakeshore Auxiliary

Ladies Lakeshore Auxiliary met Feb. 24.

Canasta winners were Mary Kline, first; Linda Clark, second; and Gwen Sandeman, third.

Wanda Nash won the door prize.

Barb Bills will host cards and chatter Wednesday, March 2.

Creston Ladies Literary Circle

On a gorgeous spring-like day, Creston Ladies Literary Circle met Feb. 19 at the home of Vera Fengler. Due to the absence of President Linda Hartsock and Vice President Marilyn Engelson, the meeting was called to order by Secretary Jean E. Mark. After roll call, minutes of the previous meeting were read with no changes offered. The passing today of author Harper Lee, age 89, was noted. She was the author of the book, “Go Set a Watchman,” reviewed at our last meeting.

Marcia Fulton of the program committee, then introduced Connie Purdum who reviewed “The Woman Who Would Be King,” by Kara Cooney. With the use of her iPad, appropriate music and pictures of Egyptian pyra-

mids, the scene was set.

A fascinating story, but one lost in ancient history for thousands of years, the audience was spell-bound by the intricacies of this woman’s life. “The Woman Who Would Be King” is a biography about the life and almost forgotten Pharaoh Hatshepsut. It explores our complicated reactions to women in power. Hatshepsut ascended to the rank of pharaoh in 1472 BCE, and reigned as co-regent with Thutmose III, the infant king. Hatshepsut’s reign was a period of peace and prosperity for Egypt, and a time of great building of public works. Later, many of her monuments were destroyed, some think to try to erase any sign of her having been a king. Her temple Dier el-Bahri remains one of the architectural wonders of the ancient world.

Delicious refreshments were offered from a bountiful and beautifully set table.

The next meeting will be held March 4 at the home of Dottie Dunphy with Connie Rhine reviewing “Moonlight on Linoleum.”

Chapter LG P.E.O.

Chapter LG P.E.O. met 9:30 a.m. Feb. 16 at the home of Dianne Huffman with Irene Francis assisting as co-hostess. Fourteen members responded to roll call.

The chapter voted favorably to amend the bylaws and standing rules.

The next meeting will be the annual omelet buffet, in conjunction with Chapter AZ, March 1 at First United Methodist Church in Creston. Annette Rice provided the program today. She shared her impressions of a recent 10-day tour of Costa Rica.

Union County Genealogical Society

Union County Genealogical Society met Feb. 22 at Gibson Memorial Library.

Ten members answered roll call by telling what family name they would like DNA test results from.

Jane Briley gave the program “Using DNA Testing to Find the Origin of Your

Surname.” She shared the steps in her search for her surname DNA, but thus far has not found the origin. She has connected with others who share some of her DNA markers, and has found in which countries her ancestors lived for centuries. Briley explained the process of submitting DNA samples, choices of information to receive, costs and other benefits of testing.

Briley presided at the business meeting. Saundra Leininger, regional representative, reviewed plans for the Iowa Genealogical Society Conference to be held April 9 in Des Moines.

It will feature topics relating to “DNA – unlocking the code.”

Roger Nurnberg presented plans for a supplement to the 2004 Graceland Cemetery book. There have been over 700 burials since 2004.

Even though burial dates are known, volunteers are needed to search for birth and death dates of each deceased person to make the information more complete.

Diane Ide brought two books to donate to the library. These are on the Bradley and Baker families which she and other family members have compiled .

At the March 28 meeting, Nurnberg will give the program on “Finding probate records without an index.”

Roll call will be “Something interesting I found in a probate record.”

Afton Federated Garden Club

Members of Afton Federated Garden Club met at the Afton Community Center at 1 p.m. Feb. 12 to work on projects for our coming plant sale – date to be determined later. At 2:15 p.m., President Shirley Wallace called the meeting to order with members repeating the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag and the club collect.

Wallace introduced and welcomed our newest member, Ginny Quick. Roll call was answered by 11 members telling a bit about ourselves.

Minutes for our December meeting and Christmas party were read by Monica Huddleson. Motion to accept the

minutes as read was made

by Karen Van Buskirk and seconded by Donna Thomas. Wallace read the treasurer’s report as Bev Rowe wasn’t able to attend. Gwen Sandeman made a motion to accept the report. Audrey McDowell seconded the motion. Wallace presented a bill for postage to be paid when Rowe gets back.

Thomas sent birthday cards to Judy Harman for December, Olive Kerns for January and Doris Porter for February. She also sent a sympathy card to Rowe for the loss of her motherin-law.

Upcoming events are: Feb. 13, “Growing Lilies in Iowa” at the Winterset Library; Feb. 11, 12 and 13, Des Moines Home and Garden Show; Feb. 20, “Plant, Grow, Fly” at the Winterset Library; and Feb. 27, “Think Spring” gardening seminar at Indianola. The annual garden workshop at the Henry A. Wallace Center will be held April 2.

Wallace gave us a printout of “Facts about Roses,” including where they got their name. She also passed out “The Frugal Gardener” printouts.

As a welcome to Quick, Wallace presented her with a 2016 program book, one of our AFGC pens and one of the garden journals like she had given us for Christmas.

After some discussion, it was agreed that we would continue to meet at 1 p.m. through May so we could work on projects for our plant sale and for the favors for the district meeting June 6.

Wallace announced that she has Sandra Gossman for our judge at the Union County Fair floral show.

Motion to adjourn was made by McDowell and seconded by Thomas. All recited the conservation pledge.

Thomas gave a very interesting presentation about birds. She said that the eagles are back at Decorah and they are testing out the new nest—the tree their nest was in fell down—and hopefully we will have baby eagles to watch this year. Some interesting facts Thomas shared with us: flamingos can only

Elzevir Reading Circle

The GFWC Elzevir Reading Circle held its monthly meeting Feb. 12 at the home of Carol Brentnall. President Terry Ammon opened the meeting by reading a quote from Mother Teresa “Spread love everywhere you go – first of all in you own home.

Give love to your children, to a wife or husband, to a next-door neighbor. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.”

Members told of a favorite memory of Valentine’s Day to answer roll call. Minutes from the January meeting and treasurer’s report were read and approved.

Valentine cards were signed and will be sent to Carol Harrison and Duane Pullen. GFWC music scholarship applications are available for interested high school students. Members had brought paper product contributions to be given to MATURA.

Motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Mary Burg and seconded by Barbara Thomsen. Mary Stewart’s club collect was recited in unison.

Thomsen reviewed the book “A Long Way Home,”

by Saroo Brierley, who was born in a poor village in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, India, and lived hand-tomouth in a one-room hut with his mother and three siblings for the first five years of his life until he got lost – for 25 years.

This is the story of what happened to Saroo in those 25 years, how at only five years old, uneducated and illiterate, he wound up on the streets of Calcutta – and survived, how he later wound up in Hobart, Tasmania, living the life of an upper-middle-class Aussie, and how, at 30 years old, with a propensity for solving mathematical formulas, a stubborn memory desperately clinging to the last images of his hometown and family, and the advent of Google Earth, of all things, he found his way home.

“A Long Way Home” recounts the triumphant journey of a young man who rediscovers a childhood and identity long left behind through an incredible story of survival against all odds.

A celebration of family and faith in all its forms, this is a book that will stand the test of time as a shining example of the extraordinary feats we can achieve when hope endures.

Brierley currently lives in Hobart, Tasmania, where he manages a family business, Brierley Marine, with his father. His story is being published in nine countries.

Red velvet cake and ice cream were served in honor of Thomsen’s birthday. The next meeting will be 1:30 p.m. March 11 with Thomsen as hostess and Linda Topliff giving the book review.

Wolverines hold off another CD rally Nodaway Valley to fifth straight substate with 60-57 victory

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Ferrell

NATIONAL DIGEST

Hoosiers cruise CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — For 20-plus minutes Thursday night, No. 18 Indiana was in a tough game at Illinois.

The Illini took a 28-27 lead into halftime, and the crowd was enjoying a chance to make some noise and direct it at the Hoosiers.

Then the Big Ten leaders turned things over to Yogi Ferrell.

The senior guard had 27 points, 19 in the second half, to lead the Hoosiers past the Illini 74-47 in a tight game that turned into a blowout.

Indiana outscored Illinois 47-19 in the final 20 minutes.

Nick Zeisloft added 14 points for Indiana (23-6, 13-3), and Thomas Bryant had 14 points and eight rebounds. Ferrell’s 19 points in the second half matched the entire output for Illinois (12-16, 4-11).

Allen trip DURHAM, N.C. — Duke guard Grayson Allen appeared to intentionally trip Florida State’s Xavier RathanMayes near the end of the Blue Devils’ 80-65 winon Thursday.

It marked the second time Allen has tripped an opponent in the past month.

In video of the game broadcast, Allen is seen stretching his left foot backward near midcourt as Rathan-Mayes begins to break upcourt behind him in the game’s final seconds. Rathan-Mayes runs into Allen’s leg and stumbles to the court.

Allen then turns to Rathan-Mayes with outstretched arms, his palms facing upward.

Allen also tripped a Louisville player in a win over the Cardinals on Feb. 8 and was whistled for a flagrant foul.

Allen, who is on pace to become the ninth player in Duke history to lead the team in scoring and assists, was not called for a foul Thursday.

Warriors roll ORLANDO, Fla. — Stephen Curry’s smile gave way to laughter.

The reigning MVP received an inbounds pass following a free throw, took a couple of dribbles past midcourt before launching a 44-foot shot that banked in at the buzzer.

The crowd rose to its feet, Curry lifted his arms and struck a pose before chuckling his way to the Golden State bench.

“I was laughing, sure.

That really isn’t supposed to happen,” Curry said Thursday night after making 10 3-pointers and scoring 51 points in a 130-114 victory over the Orlando Magic.

“I made a bunch of 3s in the third quarter and then finished with that one,” he added. “It was really funny to me, it just banked off the glass.”

A night after scoring 42 in a six-point victory at Miami, Curry made 20 of 27 shots, including 10 of 15 3-pointers. The Warriors pulled away in the closing minutes of the third quarter, with his bank shot putting the defending NBA champions up 99-91.

MOUNT AYR — Two days after roaring from behind for an overtime victory over Lenox, Central Decatur came up one shot short of duplicating that scenario Thursday night.

Nodaway Valley got off to a hot start — including four 3-pointers as a team and 12 points in the first quarter by all-state senior Jackson Lamb — in taking an 18-12 lead in completing a season sweep of league rival Central Decatur Thursday night.

Lamb finished with 37 points and 12 rebounds in leading the Wolverines to a 60-57 victory over the Lamb Cardinals in the Class 1A District 13 championship game here.

Nodaway Valley (186) advanced to Saturday’s 7 p.m, Substate 7 game against seventh-ranked IKM-Manning at Atlantic High School. It marks the fifth straight year coach Darrell Burmeister’s Wolverines have played in the substate round to determine a state tournament berth, which resulted in state trips in 2015, 2013 and 2012.

in 13 years, and will be seeking a seventh trip to state in 12 years on Saturday.

And yet, Central Decatur battled back from its own double-digit deficit Thursday and nearly forced its second straight overtime game, after knocking off Pride of Iowa champion Lenox on Tuesday after battling from 11 points behind in the fourth quarter in Greenfield.

When Nodaway Valley

guard Beau Weinheimer made one of two free throws with 27 seconds left, it provided what proved to Weinheimer be the final 3-point margin. Central Decatur’s Peyton Pedersen, who averages 23.2 points and scored

29 in the teams’ first meeting on Jan. 22, couldn’t tie it on one of his quick drives to the basket.

Instead, he worked for an opening to shoot a 3-pointer with 8.1 seconds left. It bounded off the back of the rim into the hands of teammate Kyle Guill, who passed it right back to Pedersen just left of the top of the key.

Pedersen quickly got off another triple with just 3.2 seconds on the clock. It

looked to be on line, but bounced just off the right side of the rim as time ran out.

“The second one, I thought it looked good when it left his hand,” said Central Decatur coach Zach Clark. “I thought we were going to overtime again. I didn’t know if we’d have any legs left, but I thought maybe that was happening again.”

Raiderettes prepare for top-ranked Turkey Valley

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor svicker@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES — The Mount Ayr girls basketball team slayed a giant in undefeated and eighth-ranked Grand View Christian just to get to the Girls State Basketball Tournament, which starts 10 a.m. here Monday.

So the Raiderettes aren’t intimidated by the fact they’re playing another giant in the opening round, when they take on top-ranked and undefeated Turkey Valley at 10 a.m. Monday.

“I told the girls, it’s a great experience and enjoy the moment,” Mount Ayr head coach Thad Streit said.

“We’re playing the No. 1 team in the state and they’re undefeated, but Streit G r a n d V i e w Christian was undefeated, too.

“We’ve really grown up as a team since Christmas, but the last two weeks we’ve been so focused. They seem like they’ve got their heads screwed on, ready to go.

That’s what makes it even more fun.”

Turkey Valley enters the state tournament with a 24-0 record, having defeated Northwood-Kensett 67-53 in the regional finals.

In that game, Shelby Reicks scored 24 points, including four made 3-pointers, to go with six assists and six steals. Emily Busta scored 13 points off the bench with three made 3-pointers. Sadie Nymeyer added 10 points.

Reicks and Busta lead the Trojans, averaging 15.8 and 10.9 points per game, respectively. They have com-

bined to make 89 3-pointers, including 50 by Busta, a sophomore.

“We have to stop those two and take our chances with the rest of them,” Streit said.

As a team, Turkey Valley has 426 steals on the season, led by Reicks with 121.

“They live and die by the press,” Streit said. “They’re going to press the crap out of you. It’s a man-to-man press. They’re going to deny everything and make you work the ball up the floor.

They like to work fast. They get a lot of their points off layups. They do a good job of not letting people get into their offense, make people take hurried shots. We have to make it a halfcourt game and get high percentage, quality shots and make them play defense for awhile.”

Streit said Grand View Christian did a good job of anticipating passes and jumping to the ball, and that his team handled it well.

But, he said, he expects Turkey Valley to be even better at it.

“They just suffocate you if you let them,” he said.

“They’re not a potent offensive team, but they make you turn it over pretty easy.”

Turkey Valley, favored by 18.56 points according to the BCMoore computer models, features some height in Kayla Schaufenbuel (6-0), Morgen Kuennen (5-11) and Reicks (5-10).

The Raiderettes could hold an advantage inside with 6-1 Kelcie Shields, averaging 19.6 points per K. Shields game and nearly 10 rebounds per game.

Lamb was carrying four fouls, so it was probably in Nodaway Valley’s favor to complete the victory in regulation. After scoring 60 points in postseason wins over Diagonal and Murray, Lamb stepped it up to an even higher level Thursday against his Pride of Iowa rivals.

Lamb made 8-of-9 free throws, grabbed 12 rebounds and also contributed three assists and two blocked shots in a complete performance.

“This was somewhat similar to the game at Panorama last year against Paton-Churdan, when we needed Jackson to carry us, and still play team ball,” Burmeister said.

“We had him at the wing, at the baseline, posting up sometimes and at the point against their zone. I think if you give him that freedom, they don’t know where he’s going and I think that freed him up.”

Lamb said he would work into an open area and teammates would be ready to get him the ball for a quick shot.

“They kind of run a zone,” he said, “and when you can cut and run, and not have one guy on you all the time, there would be times they they would be stuck on me and then go back into their zone area. I went to the open spots. We shot much better than when we played them down there and got way behind.”

Clark said Nodaway Valley’s offense was efficient from the start Thursday in building a quick 10-4 lead and maintaining the advantage the rest of the way, although it closed to three points six minutes into the fourth (54-51) and two points at 59-57 when 6-5 center Nick Durrell banked in a shot near the lane.

That’s when Weinheimer made one free throw in the double bonus, putting the Cardinals in the position of shooting threes in the final seconds.

“They made more shots against our zone tonight,” Clark said. “In the first game we held them to 20 points in the first half. They had 33 tonight. Spencer Lamb made two tough contested threes, and we lost Jackson a few times and he was hitting them. He gets rid of it so quick.”

Pedersen finished with 25 points for the Cardinals after having 10 at halftime.

“Pedersen is a heck of a Pedersen ballplayer,” Burmeister said. “He brought them back as much as he could. We shot free throws well tonight. That

900th win MORRISTOWN, Tenn.

— Walters State women’s basketball coach Dave Kragel recorded his 900th career win Wednesday night as the No. 8 Lady Senators finished off an undefeated regular season with a 71-48 victory at Southwest Tennessee in Memphis.

Kragel is a Corning High School graduate and All-American at Creston Junior College before playing at Oklahoma State.

It’s the fifth straight undefeated run through Tennessee Community College Athletic Association for Walters State (29-0, 18-0 TCCAA). The Lady Senators have won 102 consecutive region games with 90 during the regular season.

was a key.”

Early in the fourth quarter Central Decatur was in the bonus with seven Nodaway Valley fouls, while committing only three in the second half.

With three minutes left and Lamb carrying four fouls, Burmeister instructed his team to run the delay “Carolina” offense in an attempt to kill some clock and perhaps entice some Central Decatur fouls to get into some free throw opportunities.

“We had been taking some quick shots and I thought if we slowed down the game, maybe we’d get them to foul us and get to the free throw line,” Burmeister said. “Usually we like to speed up the game, but there we want to slow it down and protect Jackie in foul trouble. We made 14 of 16 free throws in the game, and went 7-for-9 in the last quarter. We’ll take that. We like to get the ball to Jackson in those situations, but I thought Beau Weinheimer and Nate Venteicher hit some good free throws in there, too.”

Venteicher and Spencer Lamb each scored eight points.

S a m Marnin provide six points and eight rebounds.

W e i n h e i m e r Venteicher s p e n t a lot of time chasing Pedersen on the perimeter, while Lamb sometimes took over that duty when not stationed near the free throw line to prevent penetration.

Durrell was a force inside

for the Cardinals (17-7), finishing with 18 points.

Now it’s on to the next challenge in facing No. 7 IKM-Manning, which defeated Paton-Churdan 6846 Thursday night to improve to 21-2.

“Our kids are dedicated and they will work hard to compete against a good team in IKM,” Burmeister said.

Clark said the underdog Wolverines can’t be counted out.

“The way they make shots, I think they can play with anybody,” Clark said.

“When you have a guy like Jackson Lamb, you’re in every game. He scored 37 tonight. When you have someone like that, you’re getting to 60 or 65 pretty easily, because somebody else is going to score. They play so hard and Jackson passes it so well. He requires so much help, then he finds the open man and they do a good job of catching it. They’re a tough team to play against.”

League finals DUBUQUE — The Central College men’s basketball team beat top-seeded University of Dubque in the Iowa Conference semifinals Thursday night, 72-61.

The Dutch (18-9) were able to reverse the result of last Saturday’s regular sea-

son finale, a 67-57 Dubuque victory. It was Central’s fourth game in Dubuque in nine days, and the Dutch won three of the four.

Winning back-to-back road games in league tournament play for the first time in school history, Central advances to face Wartburg Saturday in the title game at 7 p.m. in Waverly.

Junior Pete Walker of Red Oak led the Dutch Thursday with 20 points and seven assists.

Junior Colby Taylor of Creston finished with 16 points and nine rebounds for Central.

Central and Wartburg last met on Feb. 13 in Pella.

The Dutch put on a 3-point shooting clinic in that game to win 101-75.

“We’ve got to keep doing what we’ve been doing.” said Central coach Craig Douma. “Our game plan is not going to change a whole lot. We just need to play 40 solid minutes of basketball.”

A READERSHIP FEATURE OF THE CRESTON NEWS ADVERTISER ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT

Preparing credit for large purchases Large purchases, whether you are investing in a vehicle, home or home improvement project, are not to be taken lightly.

Before making significant financial commitments, consumers should exercise their due diligence and prepare for such purchases as much as possible.

Many people use credit when making large purchases. That may entail using a credit card or financing a purchase via an installment loan rather than purchasing an item outright. To make buying on credit as consumer-friendly as possible, men and women must ensure they are in good financial standing, which can help them get lower interest rates so they pay less for an item than they might

if their finances were not in the best of shape.

• Get your credit score.

A credit score, also known as a FICO® score, is a number between 300 and 850 that is calculated based on your payment history, outstanding balances, length of credit history, new credit, and types of credit. Lenders look at this credit score to determine how great a risk you present as a borrower.

Whenever you use credit to make a purchase or apply for a loan, your credit score will be checked. The higher the credit score, the more attractive you are to lenders and the lower your interest rate figures to be.

• Check for credit report inaccuracies. If your FICO score seems low, there may be mistakes on your credit

reports. Request a copy of your credit reports from the three main credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.

Look over the reports thoroughly and address any mistakes immediately.

• Make sure you have a credit history. In an effort to avoid debt, some people never apply for credit cards or other lines of credit. But having no credit history can hurt you, even if you never accumulated any debt. For example, when applying for a mortgage, you will be asked to show at least three lines of credit (any combination of credit cards, student loans, car loans, and so on) that have been active within the past 12 to 24 months, according to the resource Credit Sesame. If you have no cred-

it history, apply for a few credit cards and use them regularly, paying off the balance in full each month to maintain active credit and improve your score.

However, do not try to establish lines of credit too close to when you’re making a large purchase, as doing so within six months of making your purchase can temporarily lower your credit score.

• Keep credit utilization within a safe zone. In determining your credit score, credit agencies will look at credit utilization, among other things. Credit utilization is the ratio of your credit card balances to credit limits as listed on your credit report. If your limit is $1,000 and you have a $300 balance, your credit utilization is 30 per-
