Gibson Memorial Library expansion to cost $2.9M upper level

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

It’s the number the Creston community has been waiting for.

The cost of an 8,995-squarefoot expansion to the south side of Gibson Memorial Library was announced by Creston Library Board earlier this month. Architects expect the project to cost $2.9 million.

That estimate comes after the board worked for several months with FEH Associates architecture firm to cut costs in the initial $4.7 million design, which was formed during a community design charrette in August.

“Our fundriasing expert (Mandy Houk) made the case to us that she didn’t think it was feasible to raise $4.7 million for a library project in this area,” said David Hargrove, library direc- Hargrove tor at Gibson Memorial Library. “So, we scaled the project back based on that recommendation.”

This scaled back $2.9 million expansion the board is proposing now still restores an east entrance to the library on Maple Street with a large handicap ramp leading to the new addition. It still increases space for the children and adult collection areas to be on the second floor along with the rest of the print collection. (See illustrations, right) And, it still allows for a large meeting room on the first floor where the current children’s area is located. That meeting room would have the capacity to host 75 patrons.

Also a positive: The new plan still allows for geothermal heating and cooling, which would lower utility costs at the library.

Some of the major cuts to get from $4.7 million to $2.9 million include not finishing the cultural center and additional meeting spaces on the first floor. That space would be unfinished concrete floors and LIBRARY | 2A

County workers, businesses clash over higher wage DES MOINES (AP) — Nearly four months after Johnson County became the first in Iowa to gradually increase its minimum wage above the federal standard, workers are welcoming the change while some business owners say they’re unsure how to handle the extra expense.

Workers like Ghada Jameel, a 38-year-old daycare worker who is also taking classes at Kirkwood Community College, said the first 95 cent increase that took effect Nov. 1 has already made life easier for her and her husband, who works at a taxi driver. And she’s ecstatic about two more raises that will bring her pay to $9.15 in May and $10.10 an hour on Jan. 1, 2017.

“I think I’m gonna be rich. Ten is good for me,” she said.

Johnson County supervisors approved the increases last fall in an effort to help low-wage workers, who haven’t seen an increase in Iowa’s $7.25 hourly minimum wage since 2009.

Amarilys Saldana, an 18-year-old freshman at the University of Iowa, said she lives as frugally as possible.

Any extra money earned would be put toward her tuition, she said.

“Right now with what I’m making, I’m so conservative with it,” she said. “I don’t like to go out, eat out because that’s money that I could be saving.”

Saldana, who works 10 to 15 hours a week at a university apparel and book store, said higher wages are necessary for students who are paying their own tuition.

“Some people may not think it’s a huge difference, but for students it’s definitely a big change,” she

“In a small business you can’t dictate how many customers are coming through the door. You can’t dictate what they’re buying, but you can dictate how many people you have on the sales floor.”

—Doug Alberhasky Grocery store owner

said.

Nationally, 32 cities and counties have raised minimum wages, according to the Center for Labor Research and Education at the University of California, Berkeley.

Ken Jacobs, the center’s chairman, said most of the increased wages were approved recently, mostly often in metro areas that are more liberal than their states as a whole.

That fits Johnson County, but not everyone in the county is on board with the trend.

City Councils in the small cities of Solon, Swisher, Shueyville and Oxford opted not to adopt the new county minimum wage.

And some business owners said the initial increase was manageable, but they worry about future raises.

Doug Alberhasky, who owns John’s Grocery, said the small Iowa City business known for its beer and wine selection will either increase prices or reduce staff.

Philadelphia bar offers Leap Day marriage proposal prizes PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A historic Philadelphia tavern is offering some Leap Day incentives to women looking to settle down.

KYW-TV reports McGillin’s Olde Ale House is trotting out a Leap Day tradition encouraging women to propose to men. According to Irish folklore, February 29 was the one day of the year where women could pop the question to men. Legend has it that

St. Brigid had complained to St. Patrick about how unfair it was for women to wait for men to propose, and they brokered the Leap Day deal.

McGillin’s is offering $100 gift cards to the first five women who propose to their man at the bar on Monday.

Owner Christopher Mullins says they decided to embrace the legend and the day.

The only catch? The man has to say “yes.”

The Democratic strategy on Supreme Court nomination: drip, drip, drip WASHINGTON — Democrats made more than a dozen speeches on the Senate floor, rallied outside the Supreme Court, and delivered more than 1 million petition signatures last week, all with a single message for their Republican colleagues: “Do your job.”

Given the partisan standoff over replacing Justice Antonin Scalia, Senate Democratic leaders have pledged not to hold up legislation; instead, they will simply remind their colleagues — and the American public — every day of the Senate’s Constitutional duty to consider a Supreme Court justice.

“We’re going to keep the pressure up, and I believe the public will keep the pressure up,” Sen. Charles E. Schumer of New York, the Senate’s third highest ranking Democrat and a senior Judiciary member, told Roll Call.

Republicans said last week there will be no hearings and no votes on President Barack Obama’s nominee to replace

With the standoff over replacing Justice Antonin Scalia, Democratic leaders plan to remind their Republican colleagues every day about the Senate’s duty to consider a nominee. n

Scalia’s death, the conservative stalwart who died Feb. 13. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Judiciary Chairman Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, said they w o u l d not waver from that stance.

“I think Grassley we have to stick where this is about a process, not an individual,” Grassley said Thursday.

“And if we had a hearing it would be about an individual.”

Schumer wasn’t so sure.

Referring to the 2013 government shutdown, he said, “I believe Mitch McConnell,

as he’s done before, even though he says he’ll never budge, will fold.”

One piece of the Democratic strategy is delivering speeches on the Senate floor.

“I, along with every other member of the Democratic caucus, will be on the floor next week, and the week after the week after that and the week after that — as long as it takes to bring to the attention of America the failure of this Republican Senate to meet its constitutional mandate,” Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Thursday.

But will these speeches and press events actually change any Republicans’ minds?

“I hope so,” Sen. Diane Feinstein said, “We’ll see.”

“I think we have to stick where this is about a process, not an individual.

And if we had a hearing it would be about an individual” — Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa)

“Not likely,” said Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. “I mean every time they go to the floor to talk about it, you can run that next to the video of them, just a couple of years ago, saying the exact opposite. So it’s a tough sell for them.”

In addition to floor speeches, Senate Democrats are using press events, like the Feb. 25 news conference at the Supreme Court, and tapping advocacy groups to hammer home their message.

can’t dictate how many customers are coming through the door. You can’t dictate what they’re buying, but you can dictate how many people you have on the sales floor,” Alberhasky said.

Jammie Goedken, who has run the coffee shop T.Spoons near the University of Iowa campus for 15 years, said she has always paid slightly higher than the state minimum, but she’s concerned about the timing of the May increase, as it will come just as students are leaving for summer.

“May is going to be a little bit of stretch just because

utilized for cultural center activities, especially those that might be messy. Other major reductions were cutting furniture in the new addition, landscaping and sidewalk replacement.

“To get to $2.9 million, you had to give something up,” Sharp said. “I tried to make (reduction) choices that would have the least impact on the project and

would allow flexibility to finish the project over time to get it all done.”

Houk, marketing director for the board and the person who would lead the fundraising campaign for this project, said the $2.9 million project still has high appeal because square footage remains the same, it still has expanded children and adult reading areas — which

the community has asked for — and restores a beautiful east entrance to the library.

Hargrove will present the project to Creston City Council Tuesday evening.

He will be asking the council for a resolution of support at that time so that Houk and the board can then begin raising funds for the project.

that’s when Iowa City kind of clears out and I don’t think people have thought that through,” she said.

Advocates of the minimum wage increase hope it could prompt other counties or the state to follow suit and raise pay.

In Linn County, supervisors have created a committee made up of business and labor representatives from a number of cities that will study whether to approve a similar increase.

Supervisor Brent Oleson said he’d prefer a statewide increase and noted the local group wouldn’t make any recommendation until the end of the legislative session in case lawmakers act on bills that would raise the wage.

Lawmakers have repeatedly discussed the minimum wage, and last year the Democratic-led Senate approved a bill calling for an increase to $8.75. The Republican-controlled House has taken little action on the bill and it’s set to die in early March.

If the Legislature doesn’t raise the wage, Oleson said Linn County could act, and that might spur other counties to take similar action.

He noted that Linn County’s population is nearly 100,000 more than in Johnson County.

Sen. Tony Bisignano, the chairman of the Senate labor committee and a supporter of raising the minimum wage, said he doubts the

House will approve the proposed raise.

“I think it’s bad that counties have to take the action on their own on such a critical matter for workers but I’m happy that (Johnson County) did,” he said.

Misty Rebik, the executive director of the Iowa Citybased Center for Worker Justice of Eastern Iowa, said her group appreciates the Johnson County increase but will keep pushing for an even higher minimum wage of $15 an hour. Rebik described that amount as a livable wage.

“Even though this raise gives a lot of money to people that they haven’t had in a while, we still know it’s far behind,” she said.

Horoscope Tuesday, March 1, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel restless today because you need a change of scenery.

Do something to satisfy this urge. Travel if you can, or go someplace you’ve never been before. Be a tourist in your own city.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You are never casual about money. This is a good day to take care of loose details regarding inheritances, taxes, debt and insurance issues.

Stay on top of things.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which means you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others.

This simply requires tolerance, patience and a willing attitude.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Do something to feel better organized today. Devote 15 minutes to tidying up a messy situation, because it will make you feel better. Try it.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You want to play today! Sports events, the arts, movies, musical performances and fun activities with children will be tops on your menu. Enjoy!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today your attention turns to home, family and your private life. Quite likely, you will have a discussion with someone older, more experienced or wiser.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re in a curious headspace today. You want to learn new things and meet new people.

Get out and give yourself a chance to do this!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Cash flow and money issues are on your mind today. And on a deeper level, you might be wondering about your values and what really matters in life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today the Moon is in your sign, which can attract a bit of good luck to you. It also makes you more emotional than usual. But hey, the odds are in your favor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today you will prefer to work alone or behind the scenes, because it makes you feel better. Your busy pace has been exhausting lately!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A conversation with a female friend will be important to you today. Perhaps this per-

son wants to confide in you, or vice versa? Be open to this exchange.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Bosses, parents and teachers might be talking about you for some reason today. Whether you like it or not, you are high-viz. Ah well, it is what it is.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a keen appreciation of beauty as well as an appreciation of your environment. You like to

look good too. Finally, this is the year you have been waiting for; expansion and great activity are yours! Take advantage of opportunities that come your way. Expect a major change, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2006. It’s time to test your future!

Losses by top-10 teams in the AP Poll this year, most in a single-season in AP Poll history.

National Digest

Bluejays soar OMAHA — Geoffrey Groselle had 22 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks to lead Creighton to a 100-59 rout of hapless St. John’s on Sunday.

Groselle made 8 of 9 shots from the field and picked up his third double-double of the season, while James Milliken had 19 points and Cole Huff chipped in 13 for the Jays (18-11, 9-7).

Christian Jones had 17 points to lead St. John’s, who dropped to 8-22 overall and are now 1-16 in the Big East. It’s their third straight loss.

Xavier stunned NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Seton Hall not only wrote an apparent ticket to the NCAA Tournament, it now has to be considered a legitimate threat to win the Big East Conference postseason get-together.

Desi Rodriguez had career-highs of 27 points and 12 rebounds and Seton Hall all but clinched its first NCAA Tournament berth in a decade with a stunning 90-81 victory over No. 5 Xavier on Sunday.

“We still have to be selected,” said sophomore point guard Isaiah Whitehead, who added 22 points for the Pirates (21-7, 11-5). “We still have two more games to go but today was a huge, huge win.”

What was remarkable was that Seton Hall dominated in knocking off Xavier (25-4, 13-4), just four days after it upset No. 1 Villanova.

It won the battle inside with Angel Delgado adding 17 points and eight rebounds and it used a suffocating defense that made the Musketeers struggle to score until the game was out of reach.

76th win HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson smoked his tires crossing the finish line, celebrating another win at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Then he realized what it really meant.

Johnson stuck his hand out of the No. 48 car, holding up three fingers.

It was his little tribute to the Intimidator.

Johnson used pit strategy and a late yellow to claim the 76th victory of his career Sunday, pulling even with the late Dale Earnhardt on the NASCAR career list.

Only six drivers have won more.

“This is special for sure,” said Johnson, who began his Cup career shortly after Earnhardt was killed in a wreck on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500.

“There was a big void in my mind not having a chance to race against him. I was literally a handful of months away from having the opportunity. To tie him today, for me personally, gives me a little bit of attachment to the great Dale Earnhardt.”

Johnson won the race in overtime, crossing the line under yellow.

No. 7 IKM-Manning ousts Nodaway Valley in substate final

ATLANTIC — Unranked Nodaway Valley, runner-up of the Pride of Iowa Conference, which survived the gauntlet of Class 1A District 13, nearly pulled off the big upset here Saturday in the Class 1A Substate 7 final.

Instead, IKM-Manning denied the Wolverines their seventh trip to the Boys State Basketball Tournament in 12 years.

The seventh-ranked Wolves defeated Nodaway Valley 65-60 after trailing at the end of each of the first three quarters.

“We’re really proud of them. We planned on winning this ballgame, so they’re hurting in there,” Nodaway Valley head coach Darrell Burmeister said. “This is my 32nd year. I don’t know if a team could have gone any further than what these guys did. They almost did it. They almost pulled off the big one. If they would have been to Des Moines, that would have been one heck of a ride for these boys.”

Nodaway Valley took a 52-50 lead with 3:14 left in the game after Nate Venteicher canned a long 3-pointer and Ryan Jensen m a d e Jensen two free throws.

But that was the last lead the Wolverines held, as Jared Johnson hit a big 3-pointer for the Wolves

and Jared Vollstedt made 8 of 9 free throws in the final 2:14 of the game to hold off Nodaway Valley.

“I think Jared Johnson’s three, I don’t know what the score was, he was wide open and stepped into it with confidence and put it in the basket. That was big,” said IKM-Manning head coach Keith Wagner. “And then we got Jared (Vollstedt) to the free throw line and he did a great job there, too.”

Jackson Lamb, the leading overall scorer in the state, hit a deep 3-pointer with 1:50 remaining to cut the lead to 56-55 and after Ben Wegner scored

the last of his game-high 27 points, the Wolverines trailed 58-55.

But Nodaway Valley turned the ball over with 1:24 left, with IKM-Manning getting a timeout during the loose ball scramble. The Wolves melted 33 seconds off the clock before Nodaway Valley fouled and Vollstedt made both free throws to make it a 60-55 game.

Lamb hit ano t h e r 3-pointer with 42 seconds J. Lamb

remaining to make the score 60-58, but Vollstedt’s steady march to the free throw line held Nodaway Valley in check.

Wegner scored eight points in the post during the fourth quarter. With Nodaway Valley locking down on leading scorers Kyle Wagner (23.4 points per game) and Vollstedt (11.4 points per game), Wegner was able to take advantage in the post.

“IKM-Manning got the ball inside that fourth quarter,” Burmeister said.

“He had 27 points. We weren’t expecting that from him tonight.”

It became apparent early on it was going to be a battle of two different styles.

Nodaway Valley struggled to get good looks inside on a taller and longer IKM-Manning team, but found success in its longrange shooting. Meanwhile, IKM-Manning pounded the ball inside.

Nine of Nodaway Valley’s 11 first-half baskets were 3-pointers.

Jackson Lamb made two 3-pointers in the first quarter, while Weinheimer and Nate Venteicher each added one.

Spencer Lamb took advantage of the increased attention paid to his older brother Jackson in the second quarter, burying four 3-pointers in the quarter.

Dallas Kreager hit a late 3-pointer to give Nodaway Valley a 31-28 lead at halftime.

“We made 13 threes tonight and they made four,” Burmeister said.

“We made six twos from the field and they made 21 twos. They made 30 more points inside on the paint.

Former assistant faces Panthers in 2016 opener

CNA sports writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

By LARRY PETERSON

Fueled by the emotions of honoring its sophomores before the game, the Southwestern women’s basketball team finished strong in defeating Southeastern Saturday afternoon, 68-61.

The Spartans used a 21-point second quarter to take a 15-point halftime lead (39-24), then held off the Blackhawks’ rally to a 57-57 tie with 4:18 to play.

From there, Southwestern held an 11-4 advantage to complete its 10th victory of the season.

That fact wasn’t lost on coach Addae Houston after the game.

“To finish that game like that, there are a couple of ‘highs’ for us as a team,” Houston said. “It’s good for them going into the conference tournament to do this for their confidence.

And the other thing is, it’s the first time in my three years we’ve reached double-digit wins. The year before me, there were no wins and during my first season our winless streak reached about 37 games. We’ve missed some other chances this season, but it’s progress.”

The Spartans will take a 10-17 overall mark into the regional tournament opener at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday against second-seeded North Iowa Area at Mason City. Southwestern ended seventh in league play at 3-11, one game behind Southeastern at 4-10 and 16-14 overall.

To beat a team with a winning record on sophomore recognition day was especially satisfying, Houston said. Those honored before the game were Khadijah Wilson, Cambry

Mark Camenisch will take his Boone team to a familiar field to open the 2016 high school football season.

The former Creston/O-M assistant who took over the Toreadors in 2003 after leaving Creston and coach Dick Berg- Camenisch strom’s staff will coach against the Panthers at Panther Field on Aug. 26.

The game is the first of two non-district games on the Panthers’ schedule announced Friday by the Iowa High School Athletic Association.

Boone and Creston/O-M have met in the Class 3A playoffs in years past, but have never been regular-season opponents.

Instead of eight districts in most classes, the IHSAA switched to seven districts with 16 playoff qualifiers instead of 32. Champions and runners-up and two at-large qualifiers will advance to postseason play.

The Panthers travel to Clarinda on Sept. 2 before beginning District 7 play.

The other District seven schools are Harlan, Denison-Schleswig, Atlantic, Winterset, Glenwood, ADM and Carroll.

Changes in area schedules include Bedford moving to 8-Man football, Southwest Valley moving from 8-Man to Class A and Mount Ayr going from Class A to Class 1A. Schedules for 2016 and

Drake is the No. 10 seed in the 10-team league and will play on the opening night of the tournament, Thursday, March 3rd, against No. 7 seed Missouri State. The winner will meet Evansville on Friday at 6 p.m.

For the first time in school history, Omaha will play in the Summit League basketball tournament, which begins next Saturday in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

The Mavericks earn the No. 3 seed and will open play against Denver on Sunday, March 6th. With a win, they would move to Monday, March 7th’s semifinals against either No. 2 South Dakota State or No. 7 Oral Roberts.

The Jackrabbits shared the conference title with IPFW, but the Mastadons earned the No. 1 seed via tiebreaker formulas.

No. 8 Iowa suffers damaging 68-64 loss at Ohio State

By MARCUS HARTMAN Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Fran McCaffery did not have much to say after No. 8 Iowa lost 68-64 at Ohio State on Sunday.

“Everything went wrong,” the coach of the Hawkeyes said after the Buckeyes rallied from a 62-56 deficit in the last four minutes. “We didn’t execute, we didn’t defend, we didn’t rebound.”

Mike Gesell scored 16 points for the Hawkeyes (20-8, 11-5) and had a chance to tie the game in the final seconds but saw his layup blocked from behind by Ohio State forward Keita Bates-Diop.

“He had plenty of options,” McCaffery of the final play. “He chose to drive it. I thought he made a good play there.”

Jarrod Uthoff matched Gesell’s team-leading 16 points, but he did not score after his jumper broke a 44all tie with 12:32 left.

Asked why Uthoff had only two shots after that, McCaffery replied, “You’d have to ask him.”

Bates-Diop finished with 19 points while Marc Lov-

ing led Ohio State with 25.

Buckeye reserve Kam Williams scored all 11 of his points in last 8:08, including a jumper with 2:04 left that gave Ohio State (19-11, 11-6) the lead for good. He added a 3-pointer 65 seconds later that gave the Buckeyes a four-point lead and electrified the Value City Arena crowd of 15,593.

“It wasn’t like we didn’t mark him, we just didn’t play him right,” McCaffery said of Williams before exiting the postgame interview room in the middle of a followup question.

Peter Jok scored 12 points to give Iowa a third double-figure scorer.

Iowa lost its third game in a row and fell two games behind Big Ten leader Indiana with two games left on the schedule. The Hoosiers clinched at least a share of the regular season conference title with the Hawkeyes’ loss.

Ohio State coach Thad Matta was happy to see his team win for the first time since losing emotional leader Jae’Sean Tate to a season-ending shoulder injury. The Buckeyes were humbled 81-62 by No. 6 Michigan State on the same

floor five days earlier in their first game without Tate.

“I was just excited to see guys step up,” Matta said.

“Marc was tremendous.

He had a great way about this. Jaquan (Lyle), he doesn’t score I don’t think in the game but still has some huge passes down the stretch and really did a nice job.”

The Buckeyes committed 15 turnovers in the first 25 minutes, but none in the last 15.

“I’m just proud of our overall team effort,” Williams said. “Everybody stepped up in a big way this game, especially after all the turnovers. It’s good to see us keep fighting possession after possession and we got a good result.”

The Buckeyes won for the fifth time in their last six games and kept slim NCAA Tournament hopes alive with their second top 10 win of the season. They beat then-No. 4 Kentucky in December.

TIP-INS Iowa: The Hawkeyes fell to 5-5 on the road this season.

Ohio State: An unranked Ohio State team beat a top 10 Big Ten team in Columbus for the first time since a 65-64 win over No. 1-ranked and previously unbeaten Illinois in the 2005 regular season finale.

QUOTE OF THE NIGHT “As you all know I’m a pretty confident basketball player so I’m gonna keep doing what I’m doing no matter what,” said Williams, who was scoreless until the 8:08 mark. “If I’m 0 for 10, I’m gonna keep doing what I do.”

STILL CONTRIBUTING Lyle was 0 for 6 from the floor but had five rebounds, five assists and two steals.

3-point shooting. Spencer Lamb did a nice job coming in. He’s really cool for a freshman.”

For the game, Nodaway Valley shot 13-of-39 from behind the arc, but shot just 6-26 (23.0 percent) from inside the 3-point arc.

“They’re physical, they’re tough. It’s hard to get shots off when you give up 6 to 7 inches,” Burmeister said about his post players Sam Marnin and Jensen.

Both Marnin, who was saddled with four fouls, and Jensen finished with six points apiece. Jackson Lamb led the Wolverines with 20 points, while Spencer Lamb finished with 12 and Venteicher scored 10 before fouling out.

Nodaway Valley bowed out at 18-7 for the season, while IKM-Manning improved to 22-2. The Wolves

are the 5-seed in next week’s Boys State Basketball Tournament and open against West Hancock, Britt.

Burmeister commended his team for a display of sportsmanship following the game. The Wolverines stayed on the court after the loss to watch the banner ceremony for IKM-Manning, something Burmeister said he’s never seen before.

“Our guys are just class.

I told them, I’ve never seen a losing team stand around for the presentation of the banner,” Burmeister said.

“That’s awesome.

I’ve been watching a few s u b s t a t e Burmeister games in my life, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen that in my life. They just wanted to stay out there and enjoy their mo-

“Everybody just came together for the sophomores and came out and played hard,” said the 5-11 center from Fort Madison. “It’s been really rough at times.

We’ve had our ups and downs as a team. But we came together and finished out here with a good game.”

When Southeastern came roaring back in the second half, Houston said his team was out of sync and in danger of “caving.”

“In the second quarter we were taking advantage of mismatches and playing solid defensively,” H o u s t o n Houston said. “In the second half we started to go away from what was working. We weren’t making the simple plays, trying to do too much instead of moving the basketball. There was almost a moment there when I felt we were breaking a little bit. In a timeout I said we’re fine. Just calm down, relax and run our stuff.”

Right after that 57-57 tie at the 4:18 mark, Southwestern scored twice inside by Slack and on two drives by Maleika Carter for a 65-57 lead before Southeastern scored again.

Fast finish Southeastern closed to within 65-61 with 38 seconds left. Maleika Carter was fouled at :24 and made one free throw. Southeastern missed, Demir Alford grabbed the defensive rebound, and passed ahead to Reifert. Houston describes what proved to be the clinching basket.

“Olivia got trapped and found LaStella for the pass ahead,” the Spartan coach said. “I was going to have her pull it out and run clock, but ‘Slim’ (Wilson) got free on the weak side for a layup and LaStella got it to her.”

That proved to be the final points in the game.

“I got a little nervous,” Slack said. “But we had to put our trust into each other and go out there and play.”

Public notice South Central Iowa Regional E911 Minutes January 27, 2016 The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Denny Denton, Chair. Other members present were Angela Henry, Paul Welch, Bob Kempf, Merlin Dixon, Paul VerMeer, Alan Johannes, Ronda Russell, Jo Duckworth, Shirley Jackson, Steve Shelley, Nate Bucher, Dani Gray, and Stephen Patterson. Also present were Lyn Hansen (Hansen's M & M Services), Tamara Fitzgerald (Union Co.), Sarah Cochran (Racom), and Diane Sefrit (SCI Administrator).

The Board reviewed the minutes of the Dec. 3 meeting. Motion by Shelley to approve the Dec. 3 minutes as presented.

Second by Russell. All ayes.

The financial and activity reports were reviewed. Motion by Welch to approve the reports as presented. Second by VerMeer. All ayes.

The bills were reviewed by the Board.

Motion by Duckworth to approve the bills as presented. Second by Shelley. All ayes.

Hansen presented her written report.

She also reported that she has talked with GeoComm regarding the Pictometry. This will cost SCI $199 for GeoComm's use for three months. Hansen also needs a copy at $199. By SCI purchasing for Hansen it will be available past the three months that GeoComm would use it. Motion by Duckworth to purchase two Pictometry units. Second by Welch. All ayes.

City maps continue to be provided as requested. The Dec. 15 update was successful but there were some issues with the Jan. 19 update. With GeoComm's help the problems were resolved.

Hansen reminded members that the ESNs on VOiP calls may not show. Each county has a VOiP ESN to recognize calls, and it could be expected that they will map about half the time. Also, she reminded that addresses with 1/2 or A/B, etc. in the address will only address to the first address. The system will not handle multiple addresses but with a new 10.5 version this may be possible to recognize the multiple addresses.

Mid-States Consultants requested that Hansen bring up a request for receiving an electronic version of the SCI data for its high speed internet work. They were willing to pay $300-500 for it. Motion by Shelley to deny the request from MidStates Consultants. Second by Russell.

All ayes.

Shelley made a motion to open the public hearing on the 2016-2017 budget. Second by Johannes. All ayes. There was no one from the public present and no one had contacted any Board member regarding the budget. Motion by Welch to close the public hearing. Second by Shelley.

All ayes.

The Board briefly reviewed the budget.

Motion by Shelley to approve the 20162017 budget as presented. Second by Henry. All ayes.

Hansen continued her report. Taylor Co. had issues with cell calls not mapping.

Changes were made thru Racom on Jan. 26 so this problem should be corrected but Cochran said this was still being looked at.

Hansen pointed out that the GeoComm project report indicates the project is going more slowly than it was projected. This second report shows it is only 35% done.

The conference call with GeoComm was attempted but contact was not made.

Sefrit reported on attending the Dec. 9 and Jan 14 State E911 meetings. Text to 911 is supposed to be out in March as it would be network ready. Cochran indicated that Zetron will have an update ready approximately in May and that until then SCI will not be able to handle text to 911.

She indicated it would operate similar to TDD. There is an approval process thru the State that will also take time to set it up.

Sefrit handed out information on where all counties in the State are on spending the grant money. The $100,000 grants should be available next year. The State is also encouraging county consolidation.

SCI is the model used by different people when discussing consolidation as the best Iowa example.

Sefrit presented two grants for Board approval: Taylor Co. for voice recorder ($3900) and Adams Co. for radios ($81,933.30). Motion by Duckworth to approve the Taylor and Adams Co grants.

Second by Henry. All ayes.

A budget amendment will be needed for handling all the grant applications being processed by SCI. It was decided that any county wishing grants for the rest of this fiscal year needs to present them to the Board at the next meeting. Then it will be possible to determine the budget amendment needed and to get it scheduled before the deadline for doing amendments.

The problem with Mediacom/Intrado was discussed at the State meeting. Sefrit indicated any problems are not with SCI as the system has always worked previously. It is a statewide problem involving many counties and appears to be Mediacom's problem.

Duckworth brought up the $4,000,000 lost to Interoperability during the last legislative session. She feels the Legislature will revisit Chapter 34A. This will have to be watched very closely by E911 to be sure SCI interests are protected.

Cochran reported that the Windstream notification procedure had been set up.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:58 p.m.

Free workshop offered on Creston Middle School guardianship, conservatorship, singers receive top ratings substitute decision-making at solo ensemble festival The workshop, offered by Green Hills AEA and Disability Rights Iowa, will be held 4 to 6 p.m. April 7 at Halverson Center in Council Bluffs.

■

Families are often faced with the challenge of determining how much support a family member needs when it comes to medical and financial decision-making as an adult.

Green Hills AEA and Disability Rights Iowa are offering a free workshop on guardianship, conservatorship and substitute decision-making from 4 to 6 p.m. April 7 at Halverson Center, 24997 Highway 92, in Council Bluffs.

The workshop is designed for parents, siblings and others such as educators, community service providers and vocational rehabilitation counselors who consider the need for decision-making support.

It will provide answers to questions such as: • What is guardianship?

• How do you know who needs a guardian?

• Are there other options besides guardianship?

• How do I start the process?

• What are the responsibilities of a guardian?

The presenters, both with Disability Rights Iowa, will be Cynthia Miller, legal director, and Beth Rydberg, senior advocate and investigator. Miller provides legal representation and advocacy to individuals with disabilities in areas including special education, community integration, guardianship, accessibility and employment law. Rydberg worked as a social worker for children with significant disabilities and is the parent of adult children with disabilities.

To register for this free workshop April 7 with a light meal provided, contact Amy Liddell at aliddell@ ghaea.org, 712-366-0503 or 844-366-0503.

On Feb. 16, the following students participated in Middle School Vocal Solo Ensemble Festival in Council Bluffs under the direction of Jane Warner, director of Creston middle school and high school choirs.

Seventh- and eighthgrade students receiving superior ratings were Paige Keller, Piper Lumbard, Kaylyn McClellan, Korbyn Ringer, Sasha Smith, Jazmine Stow and Kordelia Taylor.

B&B

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) plans to conduct prescribed burns on select wildlife areas in Adair, Adams, Decatur, Madison, Ringgold and Union counties between now and May 31 to improve wildlife habitat, control invasive plant species and restore and maintain native plant communities.

Ground nesting birds such as pheasants, mallards, bobolinks, dickcissels and many others benefit from habitats improved with periodic prescribed fire. Burning removes the accumulated thatch and reinvigorates native plants by simulating what occurred naturally for centuries.

Areas are typically burned every five years and vary in size from 10 to 1,000 acres or more. Burns are conducted on days that meet objectives and weather guidelines defined in the burn plan.

For questions or concerns about prescribed burns, contact Josh Rusk with the Iowa DNR’s Wildlife Bureau Grand River Unit at 641-7832166.
