Creston pawn shop features Regulators approve rare plane crash photos tougher rules for Internet providers

By IAN RICHARDSON

FOR SALE

CNA staff reporter

Quik Pawn, 101 W. Taylor St., is up for sale, Clear Lake photos included.

Wintermute began Quik Pawn in 1999 out of a car repair store he had begun in the mid-1980s.

“I got a little tired of getting dirty and beat up all the time, so I had this idea,” he said. “And within two to three years, it just exploded.”

In 2004, Wintermute moved Quik Pawn to its current location.

After 15 years in the business, Wintermute is planning on retiring after selling his business. He is currently open to discussing offers.

Two thousand, five hundred dollars.

That’s the price posted for each of three old color photos on display at Steve Wintermute’s Creston pawn shop, Quik Pawn.

The photos are from the plane wreck in Clear Lake on Feb. 3, 1959, the day rock and roll musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson, and their pilot, Roger Peterson, died. Since they are in color, they are especially rare. Few others, if any, exist.

But while their purchase could gross him $7,500, Wintermute has all but decided not to sell them to customers.

“They’re a great conversation piece,” he said.

How did three photos of a historic plane crash in Clear Lake end up in a Creston pawn shop? The story almost reads like a segment of Antiques Roadshow.

The box of junk About 12 years ago, Wintermute heard a clink at the door of Quik Pawn, then recently launched in uptown Creston.

“I had a lady come in, down on her luck,” he said. “She had a box full of stuff—alarm clocks, a couple of dolls, a few books.”

At first, Wintermute didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary in the box. However, a few days later, he discovered three color photographs tucked between the pages of one of the books. Taken in the aftermath of a plane crash, the photos showed men sorting through crumpled pieces of wreckage, with bodies lying on the

snow-covered ground.

Wintermute wasn’t sure what the photos were; they could have been from any small plane crash. However, the plane’s number, N3794, would turn out to be the only clue he needed. After one of his friends conducted a search online, he realized what he had on his hands.

“I couldn’t believe it,” he said.

Wintermute sent the photos to Christie’s Auction to have them authenticated.

Christie’s confirmed that the photos were printed on paper of the correct vintage for that time period and appeared to be for real. Wintermute based his $2,500 price tag on the Christie’s suggested asking price.

Investigation Although

Wintermute

doesn’t have any official documentation of the photos’ source, he does have a pretty good hunch where they came from. In part, this is due to the help of Tim Kenyon, county attorney.

“He helped me a little bit, and we deduced that the guy she was living with was a brother of the lady that owned the farm where the plane crashed,” Wintermute said.

However, the evidence remains circumstantial, Kenyon said.

“I still don’t have a human being that can say, ‘I was the one who took the photo,’” Kenyon said.

“We pieced together that there were family members, and so that really explained generally how they could have come to be, but as far as having a chain for anybody—as

they say in the world of auctions and sales, ‘documentation’ or ‘provenance’—there isn’t any.”

A few years ago, Wintermute submitted the photos to Gold and Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, the shop featured on the History Channel show “Pawn Stars.” Without any paperwork, however, Wintermute said they weren’t accepted.

But paperwork or not, the photos have certainly been a prominent discussion piece for Wintermute and his customers over the years.

“Just about everybody who walks in here stops at those photos,” Wintermute said.

Visitors have even brought him other items to put beside the photos, including a classic 45 rpm record and a concert flyer.

As Wintermute plans to sell the Quik Pawn, Quik Loans and Studio 101 Salon and Tanning businesses on West Taylor Street, these photos, which by now are a part of the shop, will be sold along with it.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Internet activists declared victory over the nation’s big cable companies Thursday, after the Federal Communications Commission voted to impose the toughest rules yet on broadband service to prevent companies like Comcast, Verizon and AT&T from creating paid fast lanes and slowing or blocking web traffic.

The 3-2 vote ushered in a new era of government oversight for an industry that has seen relatively little. It represents the biggest regulatory shake-up to telecommunications providers in almost two decades.

The new rules require that any company providing a broadband connection to your home or phone must act in the “public interest” and refrain from using “unjust or unreasonable” business practices. The goal is to prevent providers from striking deals with content

RETRACTION Former Water Works General Manager Steve Green recently demanded a retraction over terminology used in a headline the newspaper published on June 24, 2013, in connection with a news article about a report released by the state auditor.

The newspaper has reported extensively on the auditor’s report, Green’s termination, his subsequent lawsuit against the Water

providers like Google, Netflix or Twitter to move their data faster.

“Today is a red-letter day for Internet freedom,” said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, whose remarks at Thursday’s meeting frequently prompted applause

by Internet activists in the audience.

President Barack Obama, who had come out in favor of net neutrality in the fall, portrayed the decision as a victory for democracy in the digital age. In an online letter, he thanked the millions who wrote to the FCC and spoke out on social media in support of the change.

“Today’s FCC decision will protect innovation and create a level playing field for the next generation of entrepreneurs — and it wouldn’t have happened without Americans like Please see INTERNET, Page 2

Board, and the decision of the Iowa Attorney General’s Office to not pursue criminal charges against him. The newspaper regrets if any confusion arose from its description of Green’s activities and retracts the June 24, 2013, headline to the extent, if any, it may have unknowingly mischaracterized his activities or the auditor’s report.

2 loose llamas lassoed after running amok near Phoenix ■ The

fugitive llamas were part of a trio that was making a therapy visit to residents at an assisted living facility.

PHOENIX (AP) — Two quick-footed llamas dashed in and out of traffic in a Phoenix-area retirement enclave before they were captured by authorities Thursday, causing a stir in the streets and on social media.

A large, white llama and a smaller black llama darted through the streets of Sun City during the lunch hour.

Cars and golf carts stopped in their tracks because of the wayward livestock.

The fugitive llamas were part of a trio that was making a therapy visit to residents at an assisted living facility.

you,” he wrote.

Verizon saw it differently, using the Twitter hashtag #ThrowbackThursday to draw attention to the FCC’s reliance on 1934 legislation to regulate the Internet.

Likewise, AT&T suggested the FCC had damaged its reputation as an independent federal regulator by embracing such a liberal policy.

“Does anyone really think Washington needs yet another partisan fight? Particularly a fight around the Internet, one of the greatest engines of economic growth, investment and innovation in history?” said Jim Cicconi, AT&T’s senior executive vice president for external and legislative affairs.

Net neutrality is the idea that websites or videos load at about the same speed.

That means you won’t be more inclined to watch a particular show on Amazon Prime instead of on Netflix because Amazon has struck a deal with your service provider to load its data faster.

For years, providers mostly agreed not to pick winners and losers among Web traffic because they didn’t want to encourage regulators to step in and because they said consumers demanded it. But that started to change around 2005, when YouTube came online and Netflix became increasingly popular. On-demand video began hogging bandwidth, and evidence surfaced that some providers were manipulating traffic without telling consumers.

By 2010, the FCC enacted open Internet rules, but the agency’s legal approach was eventually struck down in the courts. The vote Thursday was intended by Wheeler to erase any legal ambiguity by no longer classifying the

Internet as an “information service” but a “telecommunications service” subject to Title II of the 1934 Communications Act. That would dramatically expand regulators’ power over the industry and hold broadband providers to the higher standard of operating in the public interest.

The FCC says it won’t apply some sections of Title II, including price controls.

That means rates charged to customers for Internet access won’t be subject to preapproval. But the law allows the government to investigate if consumers complain that costs are unfair.

Industry officials and congressional Republicans fought bitterly to stave off the new regulations, which they said constitutes dangerous overreach and would eventually raise costs for consumers. The broadband industry was expected to sue.

“With years of uncertainty and unintended consequences ahead of us, it falls to Congress to step in,” said Michael Powell, head of the National Cable and Telecommunications Association.

GOP lawmakers said they would push for legislation, although it was unlikely Obama would sign such a bill.

“Only action by Congress can fix the damage and uncertainty this FCC order has inflicted on the Internet,” Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, said in a statement.

Also at stake Thursday was Obama’s goal of helping local governments build their own fast, cheap broadband.

The FCC approved petitions

by Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Wilson, North Carolina, to override state laws that restrict them from expanding their broadband service to neighboring towns.

several hashtags including #LlamasonTheLoose, #llamadrama and #TEAMLLAMAS. Arizona U.S. Sen. John McCain and the Arizona Cardinals got in on the fun. McCain tweeted that he was “glad that #LlamaDrama 2015 has been peacefully resolved!” The Cardinals tweeted that team “agreed to one-year deals with the #llamasontheloose,” promising the animals a salary in hay.

Even the North American Aerospace Defense Command tweeted: “Llama had no known connections to ISIS. Appears to have self-radicalized.”

The llama saga also made Lorenzo Lamas a trending topic. Some on Twitter joked that it was actually the actor who was on the loose in Arizona.

DES MOINES (AP) — The U.S. Department of Commerce says Iowa companies exported a record $15.1 billion worth of merchandise last year which contributed to the nation’s record export level exceeding $2.3 trillion.

In the report released Thursday the government says machinery led Iowa exports totaling about $3.6 billion in value. That was followed by food and related products and agricultural products.

Canada was the leading

destination for Iowa products followed by Mexico, Japan and China.

More than 3,300 companies — by far most of them with fewer than 500 employees — exported goods in the most recent report.

Coinciding with the release of the data, the White House issued a statement citing it as a reason Congress should act on new trade agreements now in negotiations to expand trade with additional countries.

Iowa Senate panel OKs bill on hunting apprenticeship DES MOINES (AP) — A Senate panel has approved a bill that would make it easier for adults in Iowa to try out hunting before getting a hunting license.

made up of retirees.

For more than an hour, residents petted the animals and walked them up and down the halls, Parsons said. Sometime after 11 a.m., the llamas’ handlers took them outside for a bathroom break. That’s when one got startled and took off, with the second llama in pursuit.

Parsons said staff and some residents tried to help corral the animals. Even the facility’s chef made an effort by waving some lettuce.

“He Googled ‘What do llamas like to eat’ and it brought up romaine lettuce,” Parsons said.

Because there weren’t enough people to encircle the llamas, the handlers instructed everyone to slowly walk toward them with their arms out.

“So many times we thought we were going to get them there, and they would dart in another direction,” Parsons said.

The llamas got around the corner of the building and broke into a run down the

street. That’s when someone called 911, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.

The animals galloped along the sidewalk, through manicured yards and along street medians. They thwarted numerous attempts by sheriff’s deputies and bystanders to round them up before they finally were roped into custody.

The black llama was captured first. The white one was nabbed after two men in the back of a moving pickup repeatedly threw out a lasso. It took three men to secure the rope.

The entire ordeal lasted about an hour. Sheriff’s spokesman Brandon Jones said nobody was hurt and the llamas were returned to their owners. No criminal charges will be filed.

Parsons declined to identify the owners, saying they were somewhat embarrassed by the incident. But she said her facility “would welcome them back in a heartbeat.”

Officials: Nearly 173K Iowans possibly hit by data breach DES MOINES (AP) — A state insurance official says nearly 173,000 Iowans may have been affected by the recent data breach at health insurer Anthem Inc. Iowa Insurance Commissioner Nick Gerhart said Thursday that 172,727 policyholders in Iowa may have had their personal information compromised.

The cyberattack into a database of more than 80 million people was discovered earlier this month. The health insurance provider

says hackers gained access to names, birthdates, email addresses, Social Security numbers and other information of people who are currently covered or previously had coverage.

Gerhart says Anthem will contact each person affected by the breach and inform them of available identity theft services and other protections. He says the Iowa Insurance Division continues to work with Anthem to monitor the situation.

Can quilt be cleaned at home?

Dear Heloise: Can a FEATHER DOWN QUILT be cleaned at home safely? I live in a rural area with no dry cleaners. Any help is appreciated. — E. Gall, Hot Springs, S.D. Yes, you can clean it at home; most do NOT have to be dry-cleaned. If there is a laundry facility near you, it probably will have large-capacity washers and dryers.

This job can be done there quicker and more easily than at home.

Most important: Check to be sure the seams are secure.

If the quilt was handmade, or is very old, DON’T put it in a top-load washing machine — it just may fall apart!

Do check the care label.

You should be able to use a washing machine. Do wash it by itself. Do use mild laundry liquid detergent and the delicate cycle.

Do use an extra rinse or two to remove all the soap Do place it in the dryer alone. Do dry on low temperature for longer time, not on high heat for less time. — Heloise TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: My family does a lot of traveling by car.

Hints from Heloise Everyone is responsible for his or her luggage, pillows and anything taken into a motel room. You “pack out what you packed in” every day. Mom and Dad are not housekeepers; the kids must pick up, clean up and keep the room neat. Trash is discarded every time we stop for gas or supplies, not at the end of the day! The kids draw cards to see who gets to ride shotgun, and they can trade if they want to. — Ma and Pa Plus Four from New England P.S.: Oh, yes, the grownups’ two votes outweigh all others!

ALL-PURPOSE CLEANER Dear Heloise: I have been using your cleaning solution for about a year. I am ready to make a new batch, but I have misplaced the recipe. Can you please reprint it? — E.M., via email Happy to reprint it for you.

Here is the recipe for one of

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

my all-purpose cleaners. You will need: * 1/2 cup of ammonia * 1/2 cup of rubbing alcohol * 1 teaspoon of dishwashing liquid Mix the ingredients together with enough water to make 1 gallon. Put in a clean bottle and label clearly. Do wear gloves, and don’t let children play with this. There are so many cheap cleaning solutions that you can make. To receive the best money-saving recipes, order my pamphlet. Send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Cleaners, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Don’t forget to always have vinegar and baking soda handy. These two are BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker great for grease and grime and general cleaning. — Heloise WHISTLE-BLOWER Dear Heloise: Regarding the hint about carrying a whistle in the woods so you can be found: I carry a whistle with me so that if anyone approaches me in any kind of unusual manner, I can just start blowing it for some attention.

Expert tips to curb food cravings during times of stress (BPT) — Do you reach for comfort foods or junk food when you’re stressed?

You know you shouldn’t, but you probably feel you need something to help you during that intense period.

With a few tips from culinary experts, you can cut the cravings and find healthy ways to manage nutrition during stressful times.

“In moments of stress, people tend to reach for foods they know, sometimes even favorite foods from childhood. It is certainly not a time when we choose to experiment,” says Chef Odette Smith-Ransome, chef instructor at The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh.

If traveling, you may often search for a familiar restaurant or fast food place. It’s easier to reach for food that you know because it provides a level of comfort to balance out the uncomfortable moments of stress, Smith-Ransome says.

Chef Christine Neugebauer of The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Philadelphia, advises that when travel-

ing, pack your own beverages. By doing this, you can choose water, green tea and non-sugary juices. She also warns against hotels’ continental breakfasts. Be careful what you choose, because a small meal like yogurt or an orange may be all you need.

Choosing a smaller plate will also prevent you from filling up on extra calories.

It all comes down to food choices where stress and food are concerned. When stressed, you are more likely to make a quick, bad choice.

“Make sure when you shop you buy healthier foods. So when you need something, that is what you are going to eat,” says Neugebauer.

“The vicious cycle of guilt regarding our eating habits steps in and worsens the current stress situation,” Smith-Ransome says. “Add guilt to the situation, and the stress levels increase compounding the problem.”

Smith-Ransome warns that when stressed, one should stay away from caffeine and sugar. It’s easy to grab an energy drink or a candy bar because they’re accessible and in every convenience and drug store in

America. Once the rush is gone from sugary, caffeine-packed foods, you’re facing a crash unless you continue to eat and drink to keep your body in the high.

Continuing to eat and drink these products will compound the situation even more because you then become sleep-deprived, which raises the levels of anxiety

and slows you down.

The best way to attack bad eating choices during a moment of stress is to maintain your body and mind at equilibrium. Before an important interview, presentation or exam, try eating whole foods and complete meals, and forget about the bag of cookies. While these satiate the appetite at the

moment, it certainly won’t keep your blood-sugar levels stable, making it difficult to cope with your initial problem: high stress.

Neugebauer recommends packing a snack or eating a healthy meal that will last, and small meals throughout the day keep you from getting hungry.

It takes 20 minutes for

your stomach to communicate with your mind that you are full. Neugebauer emphasizes the importance of drinking water when gauging your hunger level.

She says, “sometimes you think you’re hungry and you’re not. If you drink some water, then you may not be hungry anymore.” By making informed, careful food choices during times of stress, you can help ensure what you eat doesn’t add extra calories, fat and poor nutrition to your worries.

Designing a healthy gluten-free diet Amazon.com lists more than 15,000 entries for books on going gluten-free.

Clearly, GF is a major dietary trend. But before YOU switch to a GF diet, ask yourself: Is gluten-free a smart move if you’re one of the 93 percent to 98.5 percent of folks who can process gluten without problems? And if you do need to go gluten-free (around 1.5 percent to 7 percent of North Americans are gluten-sensitive or have Celiac disease) are you short-changing yourself on essential nutrients?

An abundance of wholegrain options, such as quinoa (not really a grain, but it’s lumped into the category nonetheless), amaranth, rice, buckwheat and millet, don’t contain gluten. We encourage everyone to try them, because they deliver loads of fiber and heart-lovin’ nutrients! And remember that fruits, veggies and lean proteins, like salmon and skinless poultry, are GF — and packed with the nutrients you need for a happy belly and a younger RealAge. But if you skip those gluten-free 100 percent whole grains, fall for highly processed GF foods (there are lots of them!) and don’t have 7-9 servings of fresh produce daily, going GF can shortchange you on vitamin B-12, calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium. And you’re wasting your money! A recent study found that gluten-free products cost 240 percent more than comparable gluten-containing items. So look online for good deals on gluten-free products that are also free of added sugars, syrups and

D-VISING AN END TO ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION? Troglobites — that’s what biologists call cave-dwelling creatures that live without ever seeing sunlight — come in weird shapes and sizes.

The eyeless, white, dragon-like amphibian called an olm can survive without food up to 10 years and lives for around 60. Despite a life spent without sunlight, the olm seem to reproduce generation after generation without much trouble.

They’re related to several species that emerged some 190 million years ago.

Humans can’t do so well in the dark, although it’s where we have a lot of fun!

We’re natural sunshine seekers, and our biochemistry depends on sunlight to help regulate everything from our sleep cycle to our immune system. We make vitamin D, which functions as a hormone, through the interaction of sunlight with the body (the liver and kidney are responsible for making D bio-active). So can vitamin D work as hormone replacement therapy for guys with erectile dysfunction?

We know the big D promotes calcium absorption (bone health), modulates cell growth, and immune and neuromuscular function, but treat ED? Re-

searchers at the University of Milan think so. Their research suggests that vitamin D helps prevent arteriogenic (clogged-up or inflexible blood vessels) ED that’s caused by circulation problems. Turns out guys with this kind of ED have measurably lower blood levels of D — below 20 mg/dL. The researchers suggest that guys with ED get their D level checked and, if it’s low, consider taking a therapeutic dose, plus get 15 minutes of daily sun exposure. That will brighten up your dark nights!

TAKING YOUR BEST SHOT When the Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson scored a record-breaking 37 points in one quarter, no one watching the game thought, “Geez, maybe he shouldn’t take those shots.”

But that sentiment seems more widespread than ever before when it comes to vaccinations, and that’s a shame. If parents were as eager to have their kids take shots to prevent measles as fans are to watch Thompson sink his shots, we wouldn’t be experiencing an outbreak that threatens to reverse the declaration, made just 15 years ago, that “measles has been eradicated in the U.S.” Since the Disneyland measles outbreak started with 42 cases, the problem has continued to spread.

(California’s unvaccinated rate is 13 percent; Ghana’s is 11 percent.) Unfortu-

nately, people have listened to faulty info about vaccinations causing harm and NOT to just how dangerous measles are to those who are unvaccinated, especially infants who don’t get the first measles vaccine until they’re 12-15 months old.

(Expanded recommendations: Kids 6 months to 12 months heading abroad should get the vaccine.)

But now a 12-year study shows that the measles vaccine, as part of measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MMRV) vaccine or separately administered as part of MMR + V vaccines, has greater benefits than risk, even for children 12 months to 23 months. Although researchers found that 1 in 1,000 1-year-olds could experience febrile seizures a week or so after getting the shot, getting these shots is more likely to prevent a serious problem than cause one by more than 4,000 to 1.

You should only be so lucky in Las Vegas. Just get the shots.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT DARK BAGS UNDER YOUR EYES When Abe Vigoda played Fish on “Barney Miller,” the dark bags under his eyes emphasized his laconic demeanor, while Benicio Del Toro’s swollen, dark under-eyes magnify the menace of his onscreen characters. But for most of you, dark circles and bags under the eyes are just something you’d rather not have. Us too!

As you age and the skin around your eyes thins and loses collagen, muscles may droop, and fat that used to be around the eyes can settle below them or increase

in volume; fluid can even pool there. That can cause puffy and/or dark-colored under-eyes, as can allergies and a chronic lack of sleep — or they might just be an inherited trait.

To banish the dark bulge, see your doc to find out if allergies are the culprit.

Fortunately for most, puffy, dark pouches under the eyes are not caused by a medical problem. If they’re an inherited trait you’ll need to talk with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. If they result from a chronic lack of sleep, go to sharecare.com for great tips on improving your sleep habits. And try some time-tested home remedies: Place an ice pack around closed eyelids, or put chilled cucumber slices on your lids, and try sleeping with your head slightly elevated.

Or simply take a lesson from Maggie Smith, who plays Dowager Countess of Grantham on “Downton Abbey.” She uses her baggy but piercing blue eyes to silently express her disapproval or to signal to those around her that now it’s time for a cup of tea!

TAKE HEART! MEDFREE WAYS TO EXTEND YOUR LIFE A shocking new study in a journal of the American Heart Association revealed that 30 percent of folks would opt to shorten their life by two years rather than take a daily pill to avoid cardiovascular woes! That’s how much many of YOU hate taking meds day after day.

But having a shorter life or taking daily meds aren’t your only two options.

You can opt for lifestyle changes that will make your

heart’s RealAge many years younger. To determine your heart’s RealAge, go to doctoroz.com/realage, and then EXTEND your life and improve your heart health with these lifestyle upgrades (but never stop taking meds without talking to your doc first; there are risks from suddenly stopping blood pressure drugs, blood thinners, statins, aspirin and more): Chomp it! Every day, go for foods that are high-fiber, nutrient-rich and contain healthy fats (mono- and polyunsaturated fats and omega-3s). Enjoy nuts (1014 almonds or 12-14 walnut halves); get 1 cup of cooked 100 percent whole grains or 1 cup 100 percent wholegrain ready-to-eat cereal, plus 1/2 cup 100 percent whole grains cooked; aim for 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables, and three 3-ounce servings of lean protein, like skinless poultry and fish or nuts and beans.

Move it! Use a pedometer to track your steps. Aim for 10,000 a day — no excuses.

Add 10 minutes of strength training 2-3 days a week.

Cool it! Tamp down your stress responses with daily meditation and get 7-8 hours of restful sleep nightly. *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

A READERSHIP FEATURE OF THE CRESTON NEWS ADVERTISER ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT

Why the cheapest ‘retirement investment’ is also critical to your health (BPT) - You maxed out your 401(k) every year you worked, invested wisely and planned carefully in preparation for retirement. Perhaps you even researched your Medicare options and you know exactly what health and drug plans you’ll choose. But if you’re like the majority of other Americans approaching - or in - retirement, you’ve likely overlooked a critical aspect of retirement planning and investment: dental insurance.

By 2030, 72 million Americans will be 65 and older, the Administration on Aging predicts. Currently, 70 percent of American seniors don’t have dental coverage, according to a report in the Journal of Dental Education. Medicare does not provide dental coverage, so when their employer-sponsored dental insurance ends, many seniors discontinue dental coverage - and dental care -altogether. Yet dental insurance is one of the cheapest “retirement investments” seniors can make.

And the health costs of not having dental care can be devastating.

“Dental health is a critical issue for senior citizens,” says Dr. Jed Jacobson, chief science officer of Renaissance Life & Health

Insurance, and the director of the Renaissance Dental Research and Data Institute. “Discontinuing dental insurance is risky at best.

The absence of regular preventive dental care can have permanent, devastating effects on a senior’s overall health and well-being.”

Research shows that oral health is linked to overall health, especially for senior citizens. Preventive dental care or regular dental cleanings can help eliminate the mouth-borne bacteria that can compound a number of age-related health concerns.

Many of the medications seniors take can lower the amount of saliva they produce, making them more susceptible to infection in the mouth. Bacteria that develops in the mouth can spread throughout the body, Jacobson notes, causing or worsening problems such as: * Cardiovascular disease - Bacterial endocarditis, a serious infection inside the heart, is caused by bacteria that normally develops in the mouth. * Infections in prosthetic joints - Joint infection is one of the leading causes of failure in prosthetic joints, and can lead to costly, painful and risky surgery. Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and cause

joint infections. * Diabetes - Nearly 12 million seniors have diabetes, and untreated periodontitis - a common oral disease - can make it harder to control blood sugar levels. * Oral cancer - Age is a primary risk factor for many forms of cancer, and the median age for diagnosis of oral cancer is 62, according to the National Cancer Institute. Oral cancer can cause serious debilitation, disfigurement and even death - in fact oral cancer has one of the highest mortality rates of any type of cancer. It is also the costliest cancer to treat, ranging from $100,000 to $250,000, research by the Renaissance Dental Research and Data Institute reveals. Preventive dental care, such as routine checkups, is the best way to catch oral cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages.

“Poor dental health does not have to be a reality of retirement,” Jacobson says.

“Many debilitating oral health issues can be prevented by regular dental examinations.”

Even though Medicare doesn’t cover dental care, the open enrollment period (Oct. 15 to Dec. 7) is a good time for retirees to think about dental insurance, Jacobson says. While

seniors receiving Medicare can make changes to their health and drug coverages only during open enrollment, they can enroll in a private dental insurance plan at any time.

Typically plans like those offered by Renaissance Dental cover preventive care for an affordable premium - as low as $25 per month. Insured seniors can visit any dentist they choose, but they can save even more by visiting a dentist from Renaissance’s nationwide network of more than 200,000 preferred provider locations. The company specializes in retiree dental care and is licensed to sell group and individual policies in all 50 states. Visit www. rensmile.com or call (888) 791-5995 to learn more and to obtain plan pricing information.

“Research shows that patients are 50 percent more likely to schedule regular dental checkups when they have dental insurance,” Jacobson says. “By continuing their dental benefits into retirement, and getting regular dental screenings, seniors can take advantage of one of the simplest, most cost-effective and potentially life-saving measures available to preserve their health during retirement.”

5 financial fitness habits to begin for the new year (BPT) — While many people focus on personal health goals for the new year, the beginning of the year is also a great time to check your financial fitness.

So how can you whip your finances into shape?

South University College of Business, Virginia Beach faculty member Dr. Alan Harper says everyone should adopt these five financial habits in 2015: Establish a budget Harper says the first step in taking control of your finances is to establish a budget. “It is extremely important to know how much money is coming in, where it’s going, and allocating it appropriately,” he says.

Make sure your budget includes allowances for food, clothing, gas, and even entertainment.

Start saving Your budget should also include money set aside for emergencies. Harper says the old rule-of-thumb that three month’s salary is enough to have in your

bank account no longer applies in our current economy.

You should have six months to a year’s worth of income in savings, just in case.

Harper says you should also try to put away 15 percent of your take-home income toward your retirement. Many retirement savings options are available, including 401(k)s, Roth IRAs and individual retirement accounts.

Manage your credit The beginning of the year is a perfect time to check your credit history, and to look for any mistakes on your credit report, Harper advises. Mistakes on your credit report can cost you large sums of money in interest rates, or even keep you from being approved for a loan.

“The law requires the three major credit reporting agencies to provide you with one free credit report a year,” Harper says.

Shop smart

Make it a priority to save money while you shop, Harper says. He encourages clipping coupons, and says purchasing membership cards to discount stores like Sam’s Club and Costco can help you save money over time.

Check your insurance Set aside time to check

114 South Broad Orient, IA 50858 641-337-5418 Toll Free 877-699-5418 www.fmsbiowa.com

your insurance policies can also save you money.

“You want to make sure you aren’t paying for coverage that you may no longer need, but you also want to make sure you have adequate coverage in case there is an accident or you need to make a claim,” he says.

Lawmakers try to compromise on education funding House Republicans have advanced a plan that would provide about $100 million in additional funding, while Senate Democrats want to give schools over $200 million.

■

DES MOINES (AP) — At odds over education funding, Iowa lawmakers began meeting Thursday to attempt to find a compromise.

The Republican-majority House and Democratic-controlled Senate are still far apart on how much new money to give schools in the upcoming academic year. House Republicans have advanced a plan that would provide about $100 million in additional funding, while Senate Democrats want to give schools over $200 million.

The joint negotiating committee includes members from both parties,

including key leadership figures — Republican House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, Republican House Majority Leader Linda Upmeyer and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal.

Both sides dug in Thursday. At a Democratic news conference, Rep. Sharon Steckman of Mason City, said Iowa lags behind other states in per-pupil funding and argued that the Republican plan would require local property tax hikes.

“If education of our half a million kids is truly a priority, then the Republicans need to do better,” Steckman said.

A report from the National Education Association estimated that for the 2013-2014 school year, Iowa would spend $9,761 per enrolled student, below the national average of $11,373.

But Rep. Chuck Soderberg, a Republican from Le Mars who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, said the House proposal “lives within

our ongoing revenue.”

Republican Gov. Terry Branstad’s budget proposal offers a similar level of school funding to the House Republican plan. All the proposals include money dedicated to teacher leadership training.

Paulsen said he would consider providing more money to schools if Democrats would entertain legislation changing collective bargaining rules to reduce costs. He argued that changes to the process might give districts the ability to limit teacher salary increases.

Still, that suggestion seemed unlikely to advance. Sen. Herman Quirmbach, a Democrat from Ames who chairs the Senate Education Committee, said the state’s current collective bargaining rules “have worked very well here in Iowa.”

About 480,000 students are enrolled in Iowa public schools. Districts are supposed to certify their 2015-2016 budgets by April 15.

Wolverines blitz Paton-Churdan early for district title

NATIONAL DIGEST

NBA pioneer dies Earl Lloyd, the first black player in NBA history, died Thursday. He was 86.

Lloyd’s alma mater, West Virginia State, confirmed his death. It did not provide details.

Lloyd made his NBA debut in 1950 for the Washington Capitals, just before fellow black players Sweetwater Clifton and Chuck Cooper played their first games.

Lloyd helped the Syracuse Nationals win the 1955 NBA title, joining teammate Jim Tucker as the first black players to play on a championship team.

The 6-foot-5 forward averaged 8.4 points and 6.4 rebounds in 560 regular-season games in nine seasons with Washington, Syracuse and Detroit. He missed the 1951-52 season while serving in the U.S. Army.

Inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2003 as a contributor, Lloyd was 22-55 as Detroit’s coach in 1971-72 and the first nine games in the 1972-73 season.

Lloyd, a native of Alexandria, Virginia, lived in Crossville, Tennessee.

22 straight SPOKANE, Wash. — For all the frustration it caused, the slower and sometimes sluggish way No. 3 Gonzaga was forced to play Thursday night by San Diego could prove to be a benefit.

There is a good chance the Bulldogs will have to play that way sometime in March.

Przemek Karnowski scored 11 of his 14 points in the second half, Domantas Sabonis added 11 off the bench, and Gonzaga overcame a sluggish first half to beat San Diego 59-39 for its 22nd straight victory.

With the West Coast Conference regular-season title already wrapped up, the Bulldogs (29-1, 170) were mostly uninspired for the first 20 minutes against the Toreros before pulling away in the second half. San Diego wanted to play slow and it left the Bulldogs frustrated offensively for most of the first half.

Brandon Perry led San Diego (14-15, 7-10) with nine points. Leading scorer Johnny Dee was hounded by Gonzaga’s Gary Bell Jr. and held to six points on 2-of-10 shooting.

PANORA — Power forward Nathan Andrews had a simple explanation for Nodaway Valley’s dominance of 20-4 Paton-Churdan here Thursday night, 66-48, for the Class 1A District 13 championship, “We just do what we do,” said Andrews, who had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds as Nodaway Valley improved to 18-6.

That formula Thursday included the usual dose of 3-point marksmanship (12 made triples) and harassing fullcourt pressure defense that rushes and rattles an opponent.

Paton-Churdan had 17 turnovers to Nodaway Valley’s 11.

“I just think we struggled with rhythm a little bit tonight,” said Paton-Churdan coach Chris Stimson. “You can’t get into a track meet with those guys. Nodaway Valley is the real deal. We knew we had our hands full tonight. They don’t get rattled, and they were really shooting it tonight.”

The Wolverines raced to a 23-9 lead before the first quarter ended with a 23-15 margin. At halftime, Nodaway Valley already had nine 3-pointers — five

by Jackson Lamb — in taking a 39-21 lead.

Lamb had 17 points at halftime and finished with a game-high 30. He also contributed a team-high

six steals, seven rebounds, five assists and two blocked shots.

Nate Venteicher made three triples, point guard David Schweitzer added two and Andrews had one.

The Rockets opened in a 1-2-2 defense with big 6-4 center Noah Juergensen lo-

cated at the top to bother the perimeter, but all that did was create opportunities for Venteicher and Andrews in the corners.

“I’ve been practicing that corner shot for a long time,” Venteicher said.

Two schools with different types of postseason tra-

ditions will meet Saturday in Atlantic at the substate level. Fremont-Mills (20-5) got past Sidney Thursday, 6762, with an 11-0 fourth-quarter spurt for the right to take on the Wolverines.

Fremont-Mills will be seeking its first ever state tournament appearance.

Earlham pounds Murray in district final

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

TRURO — Earlham’s size and 3-point shooting proved to be a lethal combination for Murray here Thursday in a Class 1A District 12 final.

The Mustangs took a 10-9 lead midway through the first quarter, but Earlham

doubled up Murray over the remainder of the game, rolling to a 74-48 victory.

The win propels Earlham (22-2) to Saturday’s Class 1A Substate 6 final in Johnston against Grand View Christian, which was a 72-48 winner over Pleasantville Thursday.

“They’re a good ballclub.

We knew going in it was going to be an uphill climb

tonight,” Murray head coach Darin Wookey said.

“They’ve got the big guys and they’ve got the guards.

When you’ve got both, you’ve got a good team.

Kevin’s got a great team. I would expect to see them in the state tournament.”

After Murray took the 10-9 lead, Earlham answered with an 11-0 run, before Murray senior Trey

McHenry hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to make it 20-13 after one quarter.

A 10-0 McHenry Earlham run in the second quarter gave the Cardinals a 30-19 lead. Murray closed

Wildcats roll BOULDER, Colo. — The Arizona Wildcats are headed to Utah on a roll and ready to claim a conference title.

Stanley Johnson scored 11 of his 15 points in the second half and No. 7 Arizona easily beat struggling Colorado 82-54 on Thursday night.

Kaleb Tarczewski scored 14 points on his 22nd birthday and Gabe York also had 14 points for the Wildcats, who had five players score in double figures.

Nodaway Valley, on the other hand, is at the substate level for the ninth time in the past 10 years, and is seeking a sixth trip to state. Andrews said the

to within 35-27, but Alan Schmidt nailed a 3-pointer and then made one of three free throws with :00.4 left on the clock to give Earlham a 39-27 lead at halftime.

“Our first half, we done exactly what we wanted to do,” Wookey said. “We went into halftime and I was happy with what we’d done.”

After talking things over at halftime, the Murray players wanted to switch to a triangle-and-two defense in the second half.

The two teams traded baskets early in the third quarter, but Earlham then went on a 17-0 run, as Murray went scoreless for 7:20 of game time.

“That was the ballgame then,” Wookey said. “We couldn’t climb out of the cellar then. Our dobbers got down and we couldn’t get out of it.”

Earlham pounded the Mustangs inside with the post duo of Canyon Hopkins and Zach Schreck.

Hopkins finished with a game-high 20 points.

“We felt like with him (Hopkins) and Zach just being as strong as they are, we feel pretty good about things in the post most nights,” Earlham head coach Kevin Williamson said.

Earlham hit six 3-pointers in the game. But even on missed 3-pointers, the Cardinals were able to take advantage by grabbing long offensive rebounds, most of which resulted in baskets for the Cardinals.

“Their size was just a little bit too much for us,” Wookey said. “The problem was going to be they shoot a lot of threes. And Please see MURRAY, page 4S

Lauren Hill makes it through Judge rules for Peterson, full season despite tumor opening door for reinstatement

By DAVE CAMPBELL and JON KRAWCZYNSKI AP Sports Writers

In NFL limbo for the last five-plus months, Adrian Peterson’s future with the Minnesota Vikings is still in question.

The path toward resolution of his status has been cleared. The league-union clash over the personal conduct policy, though, has only cranked up.

Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL were handed a second high-profile legal defeat Thursday, when U.S. District Judge David Doty overruled league arbitrator Harold Henderson’s December denial of the six-time Pro Bowl running back’s appeal.

Doty ruled that Henderson “failed to meet his duty” in considering Peterson’s punishment, for the child abuse charge that brought national backlash for the league on the heels of the bungled handling of the assault case involving former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice.

Doty said the league cannot retroactively apply the standards of its new, tougher personal conduct policy to an action by Peterson that occurred before the policy was in place. The league suspended Peterson through at least April 15 under the new standard that arose from the furor over the handling of the assault involving Rice.

But Doty said in his 16page ruling that Henderson “simply disregarded the law of the shop and in doing so failed to meet his duty” under the collective bargaining agreement.

NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith said in a statement Doty’s decision was a “victory for the rule of law, due process and fairness.”

The injuries to Peterson’s son, delivered by a wooden switch that Peterson was using for discipline, occurred more than three months before Goodell’s announcement of the increase in suspension time from two games to six games for players involved in domestic violence.

“Our collective bargaining agreement has rules for implementation of the personal conduct policy and when those rules are violat-

ed, our union always stands up to protect our players’ rights,” Smith said. “This is yet another example why neutral arbitration is good for our players, good for the owners and good for our game.”

The NFL promptly filed its protest to the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. The league also returned Peterson to the exempt list he spent two months on last season pending completion of the process. The NFL also said further arbitration proceedings in front of Henderson could be held before an appeal is heard by the 8th Circuit.

“Judge Doty’s order did not contain any determinations concerning the fairness of the appeals process under the CBA, including the commissioner’s longstanding authority to appoint a designee to act as hearing officer,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said. “Even so, we believe strongly that Judge Doty’s order is incorrect and fundamentally at odds with well-established legal precedent governing the district court’s role in reviewing arbitration decisions.”

The Vikings chimed in a little later with moral support of Peterson, whom they have heaped praise on in recent weeks in obvious attempt to either welcome him back or enhance his trade value.

“Adrian Peterson is an important member of the Minnesota Vikings, and our focus remains on welcoming him back when he is able to rejoin our organization,” the Vikings said. “Today’s ruling leaves Adrian’s status under the control of the NFL, the NFLPA and the legal system, and we will have no further comment at this time.”

Peterson’s return to the exempt list was just as critical of a development in this saga as was D o t y ’ s Peterson ruling.

B e i n g on the exempt list means the Vikings can now have direct contact with Peterson, which they couldn’t while the suspension was in effect. Also, when the

market opens March 10, they’d be allowed to trade him if they wanted. They could release him or try to restructure his contract at any time.

Peterson was unavailable for comment. His agent, Ben Dogra of Relativity Sports, said he was pleased Doty “recognized the merits” of Peterson’s case.

“This is an important moment for Adrian, players’ rights and the NFLPA. Adrian is an exceptional community member, father, husband and athlete who will continue to contribute meaningfully on and off the field,” Dogra said in a statement sent to The Associated Press.

“Any NFL team will be fortunate to have Adrian on its roster as he will consistently serve as a strong leader and impactful performer.”

Peterson’s existing deal is through 2017, carrying a $15.4 million salary cap hit for 2015. If the Vikings cut him, they’d owe him no more money and take only a $2.4 million hit to their salary cap. Peterson has no contractual leverage, but he has expressed uneasiness about returning to the only team he’s ever played for. He told ESPN in a recent interview that he felt betrayed by some members of the organization during the process in which Goodell placed him on the exempt list, essentially paid leave, while the child-abuse case played out in court in Texas.

Doty’s courtroom has long been a ground zero of sorts for NFL labor matters, and his ruling pattern has favored the union more often than not.

Still, his latest rebuke of the NFL came as a surprise because it defied a collectively bargained arbitration process.

“There’s no doubt that generally speaking judges don’t like to overturn decisions of arbitrators,” said Thomas Wassel, a labor and employment attorney and partner at Cullen and Dykman in New York.

“That’s a general principle in all of labor law.” ___ AP NFL websites: http:// www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/ AP_NFL

AP Sports Writer

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Mount St. Joseph’s women’s basketball team held its postseason banquet in a hospital room warmed

by Lauren Hill’s smile.

The 19-year-old freshm a n made it through a full season while raising m o r e than $1.3 m i l l i o n Hill for research into the type of brain tumor that will likely end her life.

She’s occasionally hospitalized for treatment now, but still holding to each day as tightly as she can and urging others to appreciate their time together.

“That’s truly Lauren,” coach Dan Benjamin said in an interview on Thursday. “That’s the message she’s been saying forever.

She’s just thankful God gave her that opportunity and that role because she’s the one that could handle it. And she’s done it so gracefully.

“Even at the banquet, she comes in her wheelchair and she’s all smiles.

And that’s truly amazing.

I don’t know what her pain level is or how much suffering she’s going through, but

the girl smiles every time she gets a chance.”

Hill was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor during her senior year of high school. She decided to go ahead and attend college and play for the Division III school. The NCAA granted permission to move up the school’s opening game because of her worsening condition, and she made a layup for the first basket in a game at Xavier University’s 10,000-seat arena.

Hill was able to play in four games early in the season, making five layups. As her condition worsened, she became an honorary coach, attending games when possible. She tires easily now and needs to use a wheelchair often.

The team had planned to have its annual end-ofthe-season banquet on Feb. 22 — a date that matches Hill’s uniform number — but the final game got pushed back because of the weather. Hill was getting treated at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

So the team decided to take the banquet to the hospital, using a meeting room. Instead of having a big meal and awards, the players got sandwiches and spent time together.

“We were going to get something to eat, show up, talk about the season and celebrate being with each other,” Benjamin said.

The team wore special gray jerseys for the first game at Xavier’s arena. The NCAA prohibits schools from giving gifts to players, so they bought them for $22, another way to support Hill’s fundraising for cancer research. Hill signed each of the jerseys at the banquet.

Doctors didn’t expect Hill to live this long with the tumor, which folds around parts of her brain.

“The first diagnosis was December, around Christmas time, which is why I went ahead and tried to get the first game moved up,” Benjamin said. “But that’s Lauren. Lauren’s not going to let it beat her. She’s going to keep fighting.

“Everybody thought she’d be this small, tiny voice instead of this big lion roar. She’s done a great job with that. And the money she’s raised: Everybody thought she’d get some money, but $1.3 million is amazing.”

In a recent interview with WKRC-TV, Hill said, “Life is precious. ... Every moment you get with someone is a moment that’s blessed, really blessed.” ___ Online: http://www. layup4lauren.org/ ___ Follow Joe Kay on Twitter: http://twitter.com/apjoekay

Herman survives windy day; McIlroy stumbles at Honda Classic

By DOUG FERGUSON

AP Golf Writer

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Playing in America for the first time this year, Rory McIlroy’s first shot was a 2-iron out of play.

A relentless wind with gusts that approached 35 mph provided a rude welcome to just about everyone Thursday at the Honda Classic except for Jim Herman, who somehow made it around PGA National without a bogey for a 5-under 65 and a one-shot lead.

McIlroy managed to salvage a tough day with by holing a 30-foot birdie putt and two-putting for birdie on the 18th hole for a 3-over 73. It was his highest opening-round score to par since a 3-over 74 at The Barclays seven months ago.

And he didn’t seem too bothered.

The world’s No. 1 player was competing for the first time since he won in Dubai a month ago. And he wasn’t alone. He played with Dustin Johnson, who birdied his last two holes for a 77, and Phoenix Open winner Brooks Koepka,

who shot a 78.

“The conditions were obviously very tricky from the start,” McIlroy said. “From the first hole, it was always going to be a day like that.

I feel like I salvaged something out of the round the last couple holes, but it was just a day to keep trying, not to give up and know that anything around level, 1-, 2-over par still isn’t out of it.”

Only 19 players managed to break par. Only three holes — both par 5s and Please see HONDA, page 3S

the downwind ninth — played under par. Seventeen players had a front-nine score of 40 or higher.

Herman didn’t mind the wind, though he moved to south Florida more than a decade ago and was surprised earlier in the week when there wasn’t hardly any wind at all.

Even with a 65, it still wasn’t easy. He twice saved par from the fairway and rolled in a 35foot birdie putt on the 16th hole.

“I don’t mind it blowing,” Herman said. “I feel like I can control the golf ball pretty well with my iron game. So yeah, it was OK that the wind was blowing.”

Brendan Steele pitched in from about 35 yards to save bogey on the 14th hole, a key moment in his round of 66.

Martin Flores, Kapalua winner Patrick Reed and Padraig Harrington were at 67. U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer was among those at 68.

Harrington would seem to feel at home in these conditions. On a day when the gusts were relentless, they still would be considered a wee breeze in Ireland. Except that the Irishman has spent the last four weeks in gorgeous, calm weather on the West Coast.

“If I had come from Ireland, I probably would be thinking it was a nice day,” Harrington said. “But having played the last four weeks over here, even I was struggling and questioning and doubting myself out there. I found it very difficult.”

McIlroy found that out immediately.

Even starting on the easier first hole, the wind fooled him and took his 2-iron far to the right and toward the driving range. Just like that, he was 2 over.

He found the water left of the green on the par-3 fifth hole for another double bogey, and came a foot within big trouble on the 14th. His

tee shot sent left toward the houses and stopped about 18 inches from the out-of-bounds stakes. He made bogey to fall to 5 over with four holes remaining.

Walking to the 15th tee, the power group of the day had put up some shocking numbers.

Johnson, who contended at Riviera and Pebble Beach, was 9 over for his round.

Koepka was 5 over. Collectively, that made the group 19 over.

“Walking from 14 green to 15 tee, I said to Brooks, ‘Let’s just make a couple birdies on the way in, try and get something out of it,’” McIlroy said.

“Luckily, I was sort of able to do that. But it was tough.

When nothing is going your way and you don’t really have anything to feed off, you don’t see many good shots and guys ... we’re all struggling. It was a grind out there. We’ll all go home and put our feet up and get ready for tomorrow.”

No one could remember the last time they faced such wind, which wasn’t that strong for south Florida. There was virtually no wind in Hawaii this year, or even at Pebble Beach. It was a stiff start to the Florida Swing.

Reed had the best score of the afternoon wave, when the wind was at its strongest.

“When I hit 6-iron normally 200 yards and I’m pulling 6-iron from 170, it’s tough,” Reed said. “The main thing was just to stay in my golf swing and just be comfortable and try to be confident that’s the club to hit from those distances. I feel like I did a good job.”

Phil Mickelson opened with a 71 and was relatively pleased, though that was hard work. He hit into water hazards three times on the front nine.

“I really enjoyed the challenge of the day,” Mickelson said. “It’s fun to be back out competing, and I had a good day with the putter.”

consistency is linked to the steady, hard-working approach of veteran coach Darrell Burmeister.

“We put in so much work,” Andrews said.

“Coach B never changes his routine. Me and Jackson were g o i n g t h r o u g h Andrews his cabinets at school and we saw practice sheets from 2006 and it’s the same thing we’re doing! We just work at it and never give up.”

Burmeister has labeled this team his “blue c o l l a r boys” and says their improvement from last summer is Burmeister unprecedented in the program’s proud tradition.

“We weren’t very good last summer, and they know that,” Burmeister said. “This team has come further than any team I’ve had. We would have taken an 11-10 regular season record at the time.”

It all starts with Lamb, the all-state candidate on the perimeter averaging 25.1 points and shooting nearly 40 percent from behind the arc. Venteicher is another shooting threat and has height to bother opposing guards in Burmeister’s presses.

Schweitzer is playing under control on both ends now, Burmester said, and adds another shooting threat if teams give Lamb extra attention. Andrews has become a double-double machine and Tanner Armstrong is a strong presence in the post.

“Tanner Armstrong has

if they miss the threes, that was going to create a lot of long rebounds, which was going to cause us problems.

And it did. They got about every offensive board they could get. We couldn’t get any on our end. It’s one and done when you play a team like that.”

The Mustangs were slowed by having three players miss school Wednesday with illness, including two starters. Sophomore Kenny Boles, who averages 15.0 points per game this year, was limited to just six points, while trying to battle through his illness.

McHenry led Murray with 17 points, while fellow senior Braydon Held fin-

ished with eight points. Junior Fisher Decker added eight points. Cody Mann was the third senior playing in his final game for the Mustangs.

Murray ends the season with a record of 18-6, having won 16 of its last 19 games before Thursday’s loss to Earlham.

“Proud of the boys.

We had a great season,” Wookey said. “My seniors, they went down tonight, but they’re proud of their accomplishments and what they got done.”

Earlham and Grand View Christian (23-1) meet 7 p.m. Saturday at Johnston High School for a berth in the state tournament.

“They’re athletic.

They’re long. They shoot

the ball well. They like to get up and down,” Williamson said about Grand View Christian. “Hopefully it will be a fun one.”

Lamb led Nodaway Valley with 30 points, including six 3-pointers.

stopped a lot of good post players and doesn’t always get a lot of credit for it,” Burmeister said. “He’s a strong kid.”

Sam Marnin has been the steady sixth man for the Wolverines and adds athleticism to the defense as well as the Wolverine transition offense.

“We kept them out of their rhythm with a couple different presses tonight,” Burmeister said. “We wanted to speed them up a little bit. They were rushing the ball, I thought.”

“They had a good record, but they haven’t see the intensity that we bring,” Venteicher said.

“They probably don’t see a press like ours. We wanted to speed that team up. I can’t wait until Saturday!”
