Board considers reopening Buddy Holly crash CLEAR LAKE (AP) — The National Transportation Safety Board is looking into a request to reopen the investigation of the Iowa plane crash that killed musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson.

The Civil Aeronautics Board ruled in 1959 that the most likely cause of the crash was pilot error.

Snow was listed a secondary cause.

The Globe Gazette reports that the board has agreed to consider another investigation after receiving a letter from New England pilot L.J. Coon. He contended that there were other issues involving weight and balance RULING The Civil Aerocalculations, the rate of the nautics Board plane’s climb and descent, ruled in 1959 that fuel gauge readings and the the most likely passenger-side rudder. cause of the crash was pilot error.

“You have gotten our attention,” the NTSB said in a letter to Coon. “Let us do our due diligence in order to give you a proper answer.”

Board spokesman Terry Williams told The Associated Press that all requests to reconsider past investigations are handled in the same fashion to determine if the case warrants reopening. He said less than 10 such requests are made annually across all modes of transportation, with less than 50 percent of cases reopened.

An initial response to Coon’s information will take about two months. It could then take up to a year to decide if the petition will be granted.

Gary W. Moore, who wrote a book about Holly, believes that the Civil Aeronautics Board made the right decision when it blamed the Feb. 3, 1959, crash on errors by pilot Roger Peterson, who also died. The plane crashed into a farm field in Clear Lake less than four minutes after takeoff from the Mason City Municipal Airport.

“I think that what they are going to find is its pretty simple,” Moore said. “The pilot was unqualified to fly in those conditions and he lost control of the airplane.”

Where will you see the fuel tax dollars at work?

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

I

f you filled up your gas tank after March 1, you probably noticed the 10-cent jump in price after Gov. Terry Branstad signed a new fuel tax into law.

The $215 million revenue gained from the fuel tax is expected to help repair the state’s 114,000 mile aging road system and bridges.

Iowa currently spends about $2 billion annually on its road system.

“The gas tax is constitutionally protected,” Iowa Rep. Jack Drake, R-Griswold, said at Creston’s legislative coffee Feb. 7.

“It has to be used for the roads, it can’t be used else- Drake where.”

Union County Engineer Steve Akes said the county should start seeing a return on the fuel tax as early as April. He estimated the county could receive $90,000 this fiscal year, which ends June 30.

For fiscal year 2015-16, Akes said the preliminary numbers show Union County receiving about $370,000 plus a $115,000 boost in the farm-to-market fund.

“It is definitely going to help,” Akes said. “We had been losing ground each year with material cost and labor going up. It had been catching up on us.”

Tax dollars at work Akes said the first step will be working with the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) to determine how to document where the fuel tax dollars are spent.

“The bill that they were voting on said the additional funds have to be spent on road and bridge projects,” Akes said. “To me, that rules out using it for routine

Iowa’s 10-cent fuel tax went into effect March 1. Union County will receive an estimated $370,000 in fiscal year 2015-16. Union County Engineer Steve Akes said the revenue will be helpful for bridge and culvert projects, plus holding pace with the county’s five-year plan.

expenses like fuel or parts, any normal operations.

What they mean by projects, I guess someone needs to define that.”

Akes added it is unrealistic to expect new roads and bridges immediately.

The estimated $370,000 Union County will receive is enough for one large bridge project or about one mile of a new road.

Where the funding will help most is k e e p i n g Akes the county on pace with Akes’ five-year plan and keeping up with culvert projects.

“I think we have more of a problem with bad bridges and culverts than bad roads,” Akes said. “Because of the weather, we have been ignoring them lately.

We won’t have any trouble finding ways to spend the money.”

Union County Supervisor

Dennis Brown said keeping up with culverts has always been a priority, but the high number of culverts in Union Brown County and the weather have made it a difficult project to keep up.

“We want to use whatever funds we get to make an impact as quickly as possible,” Brown said. “The reason a gas tax hasn’t been passed until now is probably because people were worried their dollars would be frittered away. We want to do our best to show an immediate impact that their money is working.”

One problem could be finding reasonably-priced contractors to complete bigger projects. Akes said the busier companies are, the county receives fewer and higher bids for projects.

“Last year we did an abnormally high amount of

work as far as construction goes,” Akes said. “This summer there is probably going to be hardly any, comparatively.”

Dividing the funds Revenue from the fuel tax does not get split evenly between all 99 counties. Akes said the formula the Iowa DOT uses to split the funds between the state, counties and cities is complicated.

“They base it on things like traffic count and footage of bridges,” Akes said. “We are a little on the low side, where some counties like Polk and Linn are on the higher side.”

The formula is updated every couple of years when the Iowa DOT gets new traffic count numbers.

Akes said the consumption of fuel across the state can also vary depending on the weather or price, which could cause a minor fluctuation in how much money the county receives.

As an example, a person who drives 15,000 miles a year in a vehicle that gets 25 miles per gallon would pay an additional $60 annually.

(AP) — Probate judges must again decide whether to issue wedding licenses to gay couples after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled the state’s ban on same-sex marriage is legal, despite a federal court’s decision to the contrary.

probate judges to stop issuing marriage licenses to gay couples.

A previous ruling by U.S. District Judge Callie Granade that gay-marriage bans violate the U.S. Constitution does not preclude the judges from following state law, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman, the court ruled.

clear what effect the court’s ruling would have, or what probate judges would do after opening their doors Wednesday.

While a six-member majority of the nine-member court did not explicitly invalidate the marriages of hundreds of same-sex couples who obtained licenses in the state in recent weeks, the decision used the term “purported” to

describe those licenses.

The court’s most outspoken opponent of gay marriage, Chief Justice Roy Moore, recused himself from the case and did not participate in the writing of the unsigned 134-page decision.

Deaths Danna Marie Rains Grimes

Danna Marie Rains, 19, of Grimes, d i e d March 2, 2015, at home with family due to c o m p l i - Rains cations from several medical conditions, including mitochondrial disease, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, and dysautonomia.

Danna was born on April 12, 1995, in Creston, Iowa, to Carla Rains and Jamie Buffington. She grew up mostly in central Iowa, most recently living in Polk City and Grimes.

Danna attended North Polk High School and Dallas Center-Grimes High School, graduating from DCG in May 2013.

Danna drew great strength from her faith and was always eager to help others, despite her medical condition. As her health failed, she set about completing as many items on her bucket list as possible alongside her family and friends. She enjoyed her time spent with people at home and the rare moments she was able to go somewhere for a special event. Danna’s courage in the face of her condition provided inspiration to those she knew

and met, and she made many new friends along the way.

Danna is survived by her mother and stepfather, Carla and Jon Britton; sister, Kimberly Britton; father and stepmother, Jamie and Laci Buffington; siblings Fischer and Kaelee Sue Buffington; grandparents Debra and Dale Buffington; grandmother Darlene Britton; grandparents Glenda and Duane Adamson; aunt and uncle Carrie and Kelly Adamson; uncle Larry Rains; aunt, Cheyenne Rains; uncle, Dakota Rains; aunt and uncle Stacey and Chris True; aunt and uncle Shawn and Breanne Buffington; great grandfather Harry Wiechman; her dog, Toby; and many other family and friends that Danna held dear.

She was preceded in death by many loving grandparents and great grandparents, and two special uncles, Jeremy Rains and Brian Rule.

Visitation and funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, March 5, 2015, at Johnston Evangelical Free Church, 9901 NW 62nd Ave., Johnston, Iowa. Funeral arrangements are being handled

by Dyamond Memorial Funeral and Cremation Services in Ankeny, Iowa.

Memorial contributions can be directed to the family.

Annual spring burns to benefit wildlife The Iowa Department of Natural Resources plans to conduct prescribed burns on select wildlife areas in Ringgold, Union, Decatur, Adair and Adams counties between March and May 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 habitat improved with periodic prescribed fire. Burning removes the accumulated thatch and reinvigorates native plants by simulating what occurred naturally for centuries.

across the state not to issue same-sex marriage licenses.

His stance created widespread confusion, prompting some judges to refuse to issue the licenses and others to shut down their operations for all couples, gay and straight, until they could get a clear answer. Still others decided to issue the licenses.

Of the other justices on Alabama’s high court, one agreed with the ruling while citing some reservations, and one, Justice Greg Shaw, dissented.

In his dissent, Shaw said it was “unfortunate” that federal courts refused to delay gay marriage in the state until the U.S. Supreme Court could settle the issue nationally. But, Shaw said, the state Supreme Court doesn’t have the power to consider the issue and is creating more confusion by “venturing into unchartered waters (sic)” outside its jurisdiction.

The court released the decision while Gov. Robert Bentley and most state leaders were assembled in Montgomery for the state of the state address. A spokeswoman for Bentley said the administration was reviewing the decision and had no immediate comment.

The court’s ruling came in response to a request from the Southern Baptist-affiliated Alabama Citizens Action Program and the Alabama Policy Institute, a conservative think tank, which asked the justices to halt same-sex unions.

Joe Godfrey, executive director of the Alabama Citizens Action Program, said he was very excited about

the decision.

“We are concerned about the family and the danger that same-sex marriage will have. It will be a devastating blow to the family, which is already struggling,” Godfrey said.

He said the decision will provide some stability in Alabama until the U.S Supreme Court rules later this year. The nation’s high court will hear oral arguments in April and is expected to issue a ruling by June regarding whether gay couples nationwide have a fundamental right to marry and whether states can ban such unions.

An attorney representing couples who filed suit to allow gay marriages said the Alabama Supreme Court showed “callous disregard” and overstepped its bounds by declaring the state’s ban on same-sex marriages constitutional, something she said the justices hadn’t been asked to consider.

“It is deeply unfortunate that even as nationwide marriage equality is on the horizon, the Alabama Supreme Court is determined to be on the wrong side of history,” said Shannon Minter, legal director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights.

David Kennedy, a lawyer for the couple in the case that resulted in Granade’s ruling overturning Alabama’s gay-marriage ban, said the U.S. Supreme Court spoke on the Alabama case when it refused to block Granade’s decision.

“The Alabama Supreme Court has now demonstrated a willingness to defy and nullify a decision of the Supreme Court of the Unit-

ed States, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and the federal district court for the southern district of Alabama,” said Kennedy.

The Alabama court ruled the state’s ban on gay marriage isn’t discriminatory because it bans both men and women from marrying people of the same sex, and it said the law has a rational basis because it is meant to recognize and encourage ties “between children and their biological parents.”

While “traditional marriage” can be considered a fundamental right, gay marriage cannot since same-sex unions amount to a redefinition of the term, the court ruled.

It’s not enough to decide that gays should be able to wed because they are in love, the justices wrote, adding that polygamy would be legal were that a main test.

In advance of a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court, Alabama is among several states dealing with a tide of lower federal court rulings favoring same-sex marriage. In North Carolina, a legislative committee scheduled debate for Wednesday on a bill that would let courthouse workers cite religious objections for refusing to carry out duties involving gay unions.

OPINION

Kissing cousins in the Creole World ST. FRANCISVILLE, La. — Fine art photographer Richard Sexton of New Orleans is an erudite, elegant man whose sartorial care adds to his polished presentation. I admire his work.

He is here at the eighth annual Writers and Readers Symposium to discuss “Creole World, Photographs of New Orleans and the Latin Caribbean Sphere,” his latest big, beautiful book with illuminating essays and images, not to mention paper quality to covet. You could build a coffee table around it.

Richard Sexton needs no introduction, as they say about celebrities. His 1993 book “New Orleans: Elegance and Decadence” has sold 100,000 copies to date, reportedly making it the most popular photo book ever about that fair city. And there have been more than a few

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

photo books about New Orleans, the Angelina Jolie of towns.

Richard humbly says that maybe the book stood out because it was the first one that “didn’t have cast iron or white columns” on the cover -- or between the covers. In other words, he avoided photographic cliches.

Richard wanted it to be more about the history, tradition and religion of the place, told in arresting images that translate as stories.

When I look at my well-worn copy of “Elegance and Decadence” I always think of the poem “Ars Poet-

ica” by Archibald MacLeish. It instructs the poet on how to capture major moments with small objects.

“For all the history of grief/An empty doorway and a maple leaf.”

Truly good photographers do the same thing. There’s this photo in “Creole World” that illustrates my point. In a collapsing building in Panama, a dangerously slumping balcony strung with a full clothesline is shading a baby left in an infant chair on the sidewalk below. Your eye goes from the bright clothes and profuse vines to the structural fragilities and finally to the child.

The single photograph is a complete novel, a page-turner, refine your own plot.

I would love his books even if Richard had not grown up in my birthplace, Colquitt, Ga. But that fact makes me inordinately proud,

and I have to share it with anyone who will listen.

Whenever I see his books, or find one of his prints in a fancy gallery on Royal Street, I practically tremble with joy. Something about his rearing in that rural and seductive land of my forbearers must have informed his approach to art.

At least that’s my theory.

When he was 20, Richard left Colquitt in his Datsun station wagon “bound for South America, driving to Panama and then traveling by bus, train and plane as far as Bolivia before turning back to retrace my steps ...,” he writes in “Creole World.”

That trip not only introduced him to New Orleans, immersed him in photography and made him a seasoned world traveler, it also “forged an enduring relationship” with Latin America.

Richard would return to New Orleans to live 17 years later. And he saw the same sights he’d seen on that first trip, the one to Latin America and the Caribbean. “New Orleans, I came to learn, is unique in that it is the United States’ sole outpost of the Creole world,” he writes.

The elegance and decadence of New Orleans is unique to the United States. But it has cultural cousins in the larger Creole world. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ...

Vladimir Putin’s opponent Boris Nemtsov was assassinated HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America and how’s everybody?

The U.S. National Guard and British special forces will be sent to Ukraine this week to help train Ukraine’s national guard and their special forces on how to fight the Russians. This isn’t going to end well. It appears that Barack Obama is determined to start a nuclear war and Iran is just taking too long.

Vladimir Putin’s opponent Boris Nemtsov was assassinated on a Moscow bridge and the official story is very suspicious. The Kremlin provided a description of the shooter from eyewitnesses on the bridge. The suspect is described as an African-American male in his mid-twenties and wearing a hoodie.

Russia’s remaining leading opposition leader Alexei Navalny was reported Monday to be very ill while languishing in a Moscow prison on charges of crimes against the state. His Moscow prison doctor said he has at least ten years to live. Some people have no faith in the Russian security services.

Fox News admitted Bill O’Reilly didn’t witness El Salvador atrocities nor was he in a Falklands War combat zome as claimed.

His reportorial courage shouldn’t be questioned. Bill remained in Los Angeles during the Rodney King riots, and for not moving to Arizona he was awarded the Iron Cracker.

The Sound of Music was released in a special DVD that contains star commentaries to mark the movie’s fiftieth anniversary.

It’s about an Austrian nobleman who has had seven children by his wife and three more kids by their nanny. In the movie’s happy

ending, he is crowned governor of California.

Oscars presenter Lupita Nyong’o’s one hundred fifty thousand dollar dress was stolen from her hotel room on Oscar night. It was short, low cut, slit up the side and laden with pearls. The thief returned the dress to her hotel room the next day, but not before Bruce Jenner got ahold of the pattern.

Star Trek’s Leonard Nimoy died Friday and was mourned by his fans and by his acting peers in Hollywood. The space series boasted a crew of white, black and Asian crewmates. However the reason there were no Iranians aboard the Starship Enterprise is because Star Trek was set in the future.

Bibi Netanyahu said he doesn’t trust the U.S.-Iran talks in Geneva to keep Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Iran’s deadline may be rushing the U.S. government into a bad decision. It’s better to cook on a stove top and see what you’re doing than to cook in a microwave and see what you’ve done.

Pentagon strategists were quoted Monday saying it wouldn’t do any good to bomb Iran’s nuclear enrichment facility to get rid of it. The nuclear facility may well be impregnable. It’s located too deep underground and bombing it will only give the Iranians another million rocks to throw at the adulterers.

Letter to the editor

Love thy neighbor From Karon Finn Creston

In the United States from colonial time, it has been wrong to take away the quality of life from our neighbor. Our governor, Terry Branstad, has advocated against bullying. The citing of confinements next to neighbors and friends, without any local control, is the very essence of bullying.

A biblical passage from Isaiah foreshadows John Winthrop’s warning that God’s wrath would visit the nation that treats nature irresponsibly: “The Earth mourns and withers; the world pines and fades, Both Heaven and Earth languishes; The land lies polluted; Defiled by its inhabitants who have transgressed the laws, violated the ordinance and broken the covenant; Therefore a curse consumes the land and its people burn for their guilt.”

When we think of Pope Francis we think of how he stresses love of neighbor. He knows well the evil of structural sin—pervasive sin that can infect an entire economic and legal order.

In Time Magazine on Dec. 29, 2014/Jan. 5, 2015 (Double Issue) it states: “It’s in your clothes and your

food, in the appliances in your home and the electricity that powers them. It’s in television and the internet and the air. It’s in us—or more precisely, we are it, given that about 60 percent of the human body is made of it. To call water the basis of life doesn’t give it enough credit. Yet we often treat water, as an afterthought. Until it’s gone.”

For decades the proponents of CAFO’s (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) consistently called for decisions based on “sound science.” Now a large and growing body of scientific information from credible academic institutions provides evidence against CAFO’s for a long list of ecological, social and economic crimes.

The Farm Bureau Organization is against local control by our Supervisors on where confinements are to be sited. They have no qualms about saying in regard to the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy the following words first by Craig Hill and then Dirck Steimell: “...We know that when it comes to conservation, there is no ‘onesize-fits-all’ approach because our landscapes, our farms and our technology continue to evolve and remain as changeable as our weather.” “...how futile and ineffective it

would be to impose one-size-fits-all controls on some 92,000 farms.”

Isn’t that what has happened with the siting of the confinements?

Iowa manages to earn mention in nearly every national report about dirty water. Let’s start cleaning up our water. Unless there is quantifiable goals for water quality and measuring results within specific watersheds our water will not get cleaned up. The harsh lesson is that there are natural limits to what humans can do. We are nature. We cannot abuse the natural environment without eventually abusing ourselves.

Helen Keller said many times this quote: “...The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart.”

I have felt the anguish of my friends and neighbors who live next to confinements. I have felt the agony of a mother when she talked about the health of her child. I have felt the distress in the voice of a gentleman who could barely speak when he talked about living close to a confinement. The anguish he felt because his neighbor was not his neighbor.

Iowa I cry for you.

From Rep. Jack Drake’s desk In my time in the legislature, this past week I had one of my toughest votes. The vote was on the gas tax increase legislation. I had many contacts on the proposed legislation, both for and against.

I voted aye on the bill that passed on a 53-46 vote. An amendment was defeated that I supported that would have phased in the tax with a 5 cent increase over each of the next two years. I have concern that the gas tax that we passed at the present time will make the tax higher than our neighboring states, if they don’t pass a tax increase.

South Dakota Republican Governor has proposed a 2 cent increase every year without a sunset.

The legislature would have to vote to stop the increase. Nebraska is proposing a 6 cent increase over 4 years. Missouri is talking about an increase with no set amount yet disclosed. Minnesota is proposing a 16 cent increase. Wisconsin is looking at borrowing $1.3 billion. Illinois is looking at a 13 cent hike.

With the 10 cent increase it is estimated that Adams County would receive an increase of $469,711, Cass County, $616,614, Pottawattamie County, $1,282,784, and Union

State Representative Jack Drake 21st Dist. Republican

County, $487,568.

The estimated increase in state road funding for the road use tax fund and the Time 21 for the cities in the district are based on population. Some of the towns in the district funding are as follows: Corning, $29,430, Prescott $4,108, Carbon, $342, Atlantic, $128,016, Lewis, $6,958, Massena, $4,909, Walnut, $14,130, Creston, $141,012, Afton, $15,210, Lorimor, $5,652 and Arispe, $1,123.

Caution signs? Daily revenue numbers continue to lag behind the Revenue Estimating Conference forecast. The REC will meet on March 19 and update existing revenue conditions. When the REC met in December, they predicted that revenue would grow at 5.7 percent ($368.1 million) over the FY 2014 numbers. The overall number $6.8571 billion was considerable lower than what had been projected in March of 2014. The drop came about due to lower than

projected revenue and changing economic conditions, in particular the ag economy.

The Department of Natural Resources is holding public hearings across the state to gather input on proposed designated use changes for a fourth batch of select rivers and streams. The changes in this proposed rule will help protect aquatic life and recreational uses. The DNR will host six public hearings throughout Iowa to hear comments on this rule proposal.

Any interested person is welcome to attend. For a list of stream designations being revised, refer to the list posted at; www.iowadnr. gov/InsideDNR/RegulatoryWater/ WaterQualityStandards/DesignatedUses/UseAssessments.aspx. the DNR will hold public hearings in Atlantic on March 10, 9:00 a.m., Atlantic Municipal Utilities conference Room, 15 W Third St and in West Des Moines March 10, 2:30 p.m., West Des Moines Public Library, 4000 Mills Civic Parkway.

On Saturday, March 6, I plan to be at the Creston Chamber forum at 8:00 a.m. at the mealsite in the railroad depot and in Corning at 10 a.m. at the public library.

Country Life Center featured in new Iowa tourism TV spots ORIENT — The Henry A. Wallace Country Life Center, 2773 290th St., Orient, is featured in this year’s Iowa Tourism marketing campaign. With a unique new twist on destination marketing, the latest commercials leverage history and a lot of humor to showcase Iowa’s unexpected destinations. See the ads at traveliowa.com/thisisiowa.

“We’re excited to be part of this fun and attention-getting campaign,” said Diane Weiland, CEO. “Tourism is vital to our local economy, and we’re thrilled that millions of people around the Midwest will see these ad-

vertisements and choose to visit our area.”

In the commercials, a regret-filled Napoleon Bonaparte is exploring the land now known as Iowa. In the final scene, a young girl running down the Country Life Center prairie path highfives Napoleon as she races past him. Kayaking, stomping grapes, cycling and savoring local cuisine, Napoleon learns first-hand what he lost in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. As other travelers meet Napoleon they exclaim, “This is Iowa!” Napoleon remorsefully replies with a “Yep.” “The Iowa Tourism Of-

fice’s mission is to grow the state’s economy by attracting travelers who spend money at our attractions, lodging facilities, restaurants, stores and more,” said Shawna Lode, Iowa Tourism Office manager. “Just as Iowa offers unexpected destinations, Napoleon delivers our messaging in an unexpected way, cutting through the clutter and making more of an impact on potential travelers.”

As people travel Iowa, they are encouraged to share photos of their travels on social media using #ThisIsIowa. A gallery of images is available at thisisiowa.

Tourism in Iowa generates more than $7.75 billion in expenditures, employs 65,400 people statewide and generates $353.9 million in state taxes.

Goat farmers, producers handle increased demand for dairy Auctioneer Davidson advances MADRID (AP) — Buying two goats in August 2008 was little more than an experiment for farmer Paula Olson and some entertainment for her daughters.

Six and a half years, 14 milking goats and roughly $300,000 later, she’s in the midst of constructing a small-scale creamery in Madrid, Iowa, that’s set to feature goat milk, cheese, ice cream and more. And though her creamery isn’t yet open, Olson said local businesses have begun inquiring about her products, prompting her to already consider expanding.

Americans’ growing taste for more unusual fare has contributed to a steady in-

crease in demand for goat products in recent years, and producers across the country are trying to determine how to secure enough milk to give consumers what they want while continuing to develop their merchandise.

The nation’s dairy goat herd climbed 2 percent in the past year to 365,000 animals, but producers said their annual sales are rising even faster — up by 15 percent or more. In Iowa, the number of goat farms has climbed from less than 20 a decade ago to about 200, behind only Wisconsin and California.

Sheep and goat milk accrued $92.2 million in sales in 2012, according to the

most recent figures available from the U.S. Agriculture Department’s census, with combined sales about a third higher than in the previous 2007 census.

Goat dairies remain a relatively new market, however, so those in the industry are trying out new techniques largely by trial and error.

“It’s not like the cow world,” said Larry Hedrich, owner of LaClare Family Farm in Chilton, Wisconsin. “There aren’t reams and reams of research available.”

Shelby Cornelius, president of the Iowa Dairy Goat Association, said membership has doubled since he

took over in 2013 as farmers search for guidance in how to get the most from their goats. The association has provided information on topics ranging from cheese-making to artificial insemination, he said.

Much of the new demand appears to be due to increased interest in artisan cheeses and populations that are more accustomed to goat milk, such as Hispanic and Jewish communities, Cornelius said. In much of the world, goat milk is more common than cow milk.

“As time goes on, goats won’t surpass dairy cattle, but I think they’re going to become more competitive,” Cornelius said.

A shell of a problem Dear Heloise: I often purchase the FROZEN PIE SHELLS to bake pies, and I have difficulty removing slices from the pan after they are baked; the pie crust is always stuck. Do you have any suggestions for how to make this easy without breaking up the slices? — Carole Owings, Wildwood, Fla. Carol, that’s just a plain ... well ... pain! Here are some hints to consider. Switch brands to see if a different one does not stick — it may be that simple. It may be the type of pie you are baking. If you prebake the pie crust, poke holes in it, bake, then add the filling.

However, if you are baking a pie with filling (pecan, pumpkin or my fave ... blueor blackberry!), DO NOT poke the shell with a fork.

Doing so will let sticky liquid seep through and will cause the crust to stick. Do let the pie (and crust) cool before cutting.

Last resort? Remove the frozen crust, grease the pan, put the crust back in and proceed. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000

It sits in the refrigerator for several months, then I toss it out. Is there any other use for it? I checked the label, and it only lists shrimp. Should I just buy more shrimp? — Dan in McDonald, Ohio Dan, don’t toss the sauce or buy more shrimp! This sauce is basically “spicy ketchup,” so get adventurous! Put it on burgers, hot dogs and fries. It works with crab, too.

It makes a zingy “dip” when poured over cream cheese. I run a fork through the slab of soft cream cheese to score it, then pour on the sauce. Set out with crackers, and ta-da ... quick-and-easy eating. — Heloise COFFEE-FILTER CONUNDRUM Dear Heloise: I purchased

You can wet the filter to make it stick — this should help. Or try a permanent filter that you wash out. — Heloise HARDENED HONEY Dear Heloise: I buy honey at a big-box store. After a while, it crystallizes, and I would heat it in a pot of water BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker to thin it out.

Horoscope Thursday, March 5, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although this Full Moon day will create tension on the job with co-workers, you might impress bosses with work you have been quietly doing. Hope for the best.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Difficulties with others might arise today because of the Full Moon. Nevertheless, you will be clever and resourceful when talking to people from other cultures and different countries.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today you feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of career and your job. It’s a classic Full Moon dilemma. (You can’t ignore your career and job at this time.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is an accident-prone day for you because of the energy of the Full Moon; therefore, be careful. Pay attention to everything you say and do.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today’s Full Moon energy could cause errors and financial negotiations. These negotiations will include taxes, debt, inheritances and insurance matters. Be careful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. This is why relations with partners and close friends are a bit challenging. Patience is your best friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) The Full Moon today could create stress on your job or when working with co-workers.

However, this doesn’t have to happen. It all depends on how people emotionally react to things — including you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Parents must be patient with children today because of the Full Moon. However, romantic partners also must be patient with each other. Trust your creative hunches.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Someone in a position of authority, probably a female, will challenge your attention to home and family matters.

Nevertheless, you cannot ignore home and family today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a potentially accident-prone day for you, so be careful. Be mindful and aware of whatever you say and do.

Look before you leap.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) You might see new uses and applications for something you already own. Possibly, you will see new ways to make money. Who knows?

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today the only Full Moon directly opposite your sign all year is taking place. This means you have to be patient with everyone. No biggie. You can do this.

YOU BORN TODAY You are a productive, creative, imagi-

native person who is extremely secretive and private at the same time. You seem to live your life more intensely than others do. Go slowly this year.

There is something important to learn. The first half of this year will seem slow, but soon your efforts of the past six years will start to show results!

Get out into nature this year.

Kentucky is the 13th team to win its first 30 games of a season, and 3rd since 1990.

National Digest

KU rallies LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Frank Mason III capped one of the biggest comebacks in Allen Fieldhouse history by scoring the last eight points in overtime to lead No. 9 Kansas past No. 20 West Virginia 76-69 on Tuesday night for the Jayhawks’ 11th consecutive Big 12 championship.

Mason had 19 points for the Jayhawks, whose 11 straight conference titles trail only the 13 in a row UCLA won in the John Wooden era.

Junior forward Perry Ellis, the Jayhawks’ leading scorer, appeared to injure his knee late in the first half and did not return.

Daxter Miles had 23 points for West Virginia (22-8, 10-7), which was without star guard Juwan Staten, who had scored at least 20 points in each of the last three games against Kansas.

Trailing by as many as 18 points in a ragged first half, Kansas (24-6, 13-4) finally tied it 59-all on two free throws by Devonte Graham with 11.5 seconds left in regulation.

Miles’ 3-pointer gave West Virginia a quick 6361 overtime lead before Jamari Traylor’s threepoint play made it 64-63.

McCoy moves BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — LeSean McCoy will lead Rex Ryan’s “ground and pound” running attack for the Buffalo Bills next season.

Two people familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to trade McCoy, their star running back, to the Bills for linebacker Kiko Alonso. ESPN first reported the trade.

The deal has been agreed to, but can’t be completed until the 2015 league season begins on Tuesday.

McCoy had an inconsistent season last year after leading the NFL with 1,607 yards rushing in 2013. At his best, McCoy is an elite multidimensional running back who has been a proven threat as both a runner and receiver.

Bucs meeting TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Jameis Winston met with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, hoping to make a good impression on the team considering taking the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback with the first pick in the NFL draft.

The Bucs confirmed the former Florida State star was in town Tuesday to sit down with club officials who will be involved in deciding whether to draft Winston. Another quarterback option being considered by the Bucs is Marcus Mariota, the 2014 Heisman winner from Oregon.

Neither Winston nor club officials spoke to the media. However following the daylong visit, the team’s website posted a video of the 21-year-old answering questions inside One Buc Place.

Bower’s bombs help Spartans advance Nodaway Valley prep scores 22 in second half

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

A 3-point barrage by freshman TJ Bower finally kept Iowa Central at bay as the Southwestern men advanced in Region XI play here Tuesday night, 86-74.

The Spartans held just a 37-36 halftime lead after going in front by 10 points earlier in the half, 26-16. Guard Jaylon Smith had three 3-pointers for 11 points and Mataika Koyamainavure was a force inside with 10 points at the break.

Bower, freshman from Nodaway Valley, converted on a spin in the lane and was fouled for a conventional 3-point play to give the Spartans a 53-46 edge seven minutes into the second half.

Then he just got on fire from behind the arc, making five triples in a 22-point second half in leading the Spartans to a double-digit lead with two minutes to play, 79-65.

“I was just feeling it, with a lot of confidence,” Bower said.

“My teammates did a great job of finding me. Drive and kick.

Coach Todd Lorensen said the hot shooting stretch came at a good time, because Iowa Cen-

SWCC women fall to hot-shooting NIACC

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

MASON CITY — Southwestern women’s basketball head coach Addae Houston entered Tuesday’s regional opener here against sixth-ranked NIACC hoping to hold the Trojans to 58 points or less.

His Spartans got out to a good start, taking a 2211 lead over NIACC eight minutes into the game.

After a slow start, NIACC closed the final 12:07 of the first half on a 38-4 run, eventually posting 8956 win over Southwestern, ending the Spartans’ season at 4-26.

Houston also wanted to

limit his team’s turnovers to 12 or fewer. But NIACC’s pressure defense forced 26 turnovers.

NIACC shot 46.4 percent from the floor and 38.7 percent from behind the 3-pointer arc, having the game in hand by halftime with its 49-26 lead.

The Trojans sank 12 3-pointers, as seven different NIACC players made a 3-pointer.

Southwestern, on the other hand, shot just 33.9 percent from the floor and 23.5 from behind the 3-point arc.

Ind. (AP) — Coach Fran McCaffery saw things in Iowa’s 77-63 win over the Indiana Hoosiers that can help the surging Hawkeyes get on track for the upcoming postseason.

“We do a great job of sharing the basketball and understanding how to break a defense down and move the ball,” McCaffery said. “We’ve played with great composure all year, I think, especially on the road.”

The win was Iowa’s seventh win on the road this season and the first seventh true road win since the 1986-87 season.

Aaron White had 21 points and five rebounds to lead the Hawkeyes.

Jarrod Uthoff had 14 points a n d six rebounds, and Gab r i e l Olanseni added 13 p o i n t s Uthoff for the Hawkeyes (20-10, 11-6 Big Ten), who have won five straight.

Nick Zeisloft scored 15 points, all from 3-point range, and James Blackmon, Jr. finished with 14 points and five rebounds for the Hoosiers (19-11, 9-8), who have lost two in a row.

Olaseni’s go-ahead basket with 5:40 left in the first half to make it 2524 gave Iowa the lead for good.

Peter Jok, who finished with eight points, made two 3-pointers and Uthoff scored to put the Hawkeyes ahead 61-48.

Against the Hoosiers, it was White and Olaseni who led the way.

Blackmon hit a 3-pointer early in the second half to put the Hoosiers within a point, but then the Hawkeyes went on a 12-2 run.

“We knew they were quicker than us at just about every position so the key was team defense,” White said. “And stopping their transition game. I think we did a good job of that the whole night.”

White made a layup and dunked, and Olaseni scored on a put-back dunk and later a jumper to put Iowa ahead 40-31 with 13:54 remaining.

Iowa took an 11 point lead when Olaseni scored to make it 44-33, but then Troy Williams scored a layup and Yogi Ferrell a 3-pointer to get Indiana back within six.

The Hoosiers played sloppy most of the game, had 14 turnovers, shot 38.3 percent, and found themselves on the receiving end of jeers at the end of the game.

“They got too many easy baskets and got into the game,” Indiana coach Tom Crean said. “We had trouble getting back from that.”

But when Indiana scored, the Hawkeyes answered.

After Ferrell’s 3, Olaseni made a jumper to extend the Iowa lead again.

Later, Zeisloft scored a 3-pointer to make it 48-43, but Olaseni scored a 3 of his own.

Things started to fall apart for the Hoosiers

in the first half.

Stanford Robinson scored two free throws and Hanner Mosquera-Perea made a layup to regain the lead, 24-23, but the Hoosiers failed to make another field goal until Robert Johnson’s basket at the buzzer to make it 32-28 at halftime.

— TIP-INS Iowa: Aaron White has c o m bined to score 71 points and grab 27 rebounds over the last three White games.

He scored 21 points in Iowa’s81-77 overtime win at Penn State on Saturday and 29 in a win over Illinois on Wednesday.

Indiana: The Hoosiers made 8 of 14 shots to start the game, but then struggled to score baskets and shot just 35.7 percent in the first half, including 3 of 12 from 3-point range GAVE IT A SHOT Zeisloft scored two of his five 3-pointers early on to give the Hoosiers a spark before falling behind. Despite Indiana’s shooting woes, it still finished with 10 baskets from behind the arc and set a single-season record for most 3-pointers made in school history. The Hoosiers entered the game No. 9 in the country in 3’s made per game and No. 4 in 3-point field goal percentage.

Spartan baseball splits with rated team The Pedro Hernandez era of Southwestern baseball officially got underway in splitting four games with 10th-ranked Northern Oklahoma College Feb. 21-22 at Enid, Okla.

The host Jets won the first two games on Feb. 21, 9-2 and 9-4. Southwestern’s left fielder in the opener was freshman Trevor Luther of Creston, a transfer from M i d l a n d Luther Lutheran College in Nebraska.

Midland had a new head coach after Luther signed there, and the former Panther opted to transfer to the Spartan program at the semester break.

Erich Gonzalez, freshman outfielder from Bronx, N.Y., was 1-of-3 with a home run and two RBIs for the Spartans in the opener. Starter Zach

Maskill was one of four Spartan pitchers.

Rafael Eingenmann, sophomore catcher from Waterford, Mich., led the Spartans in game two with a double, single and two RBIs. Freshman Bradley Lopez of Cayey, Puerto Rico was 2-of-4 with a double and two runs scored.

Joshua Santiago of Arecibo, Puerto Rico got the pitching start.

Another local transfer, Ethan Westphal, got the pitching start in one of the two victories on Feb. 22.

He went five innings in Westphal the 9-5 nightcap victory, yielding two earned runs on one walk and seven hits, with five strikeouts.

Westphal, who prepped at Lenox and Martensdale-St. Marys, transferred at semester from Concor-

dia College in Nebraska.

“It was a good outing,” Hernandez said. “He gave us five solid innings.”

The offense was boosted by a 3-of-4 game from Misael Lebron of Tryilo Alto, P u e r to Rico.

Samuel V e g a , infielder from V e g a B a j a , P u e r - Lebron to Rico, was 2-of5 with a double and RBI. Lopez had two hits and an RBI. Southwestern also won the first game on Feb. 22, 9-8 in eight innings. Lebron had a bases-clearing triple to drive in three runs in the fifth inning. Starter John Bisignano of Windsor Heights went 5 2/3 innings.

The Spartans head to Oklahoma for more games this weekend, taking on Northeast Oklahoma Saturday and Sunday in Miami, Okla.

had some good looks in the first half and just didn’t make them. The hoop looked like an ocean to him for a little bit in the second half.”

Smith also provided consistent firepower in finishing with 18 points, including four 3-pointers. Koya- Smith mainavure had 10 of his 14 points in the first half and Josh Kirk had 16 points off the bench, including 6-of-8 shooting at the free throw line in the second half as coach Dennis Pilcher had the Tritons fouling to stretch out the clock.

“They did a nice job of whittling down our lead in the first half,” Lorensen said. “We made a couple of poor decisions with the ball and they made some timely shots on top of the turnovers. This time of year it doesn’t really matter how you do it, as long

as you have one more good possession than the other team.”

The win is in contrast to the last time the Spartans hosted a regional game two years ago, when Iowa Central was also the opponent and took a 61-60 road victory on a late shot.

Tuesday’s game was a good home atmosphere on “Red Out Night” with a good local crowd on hand.

“It was great hosting a game and nice to have our fans behind us,” Bower said. “It was a good confidence booster. Now we get ready for Kirkwood.”

Kirkwood beat Iowa Lakes Tuesday, 83-59.

Top-seeded DMACC got a bye and will host Ellsworth, which knocked off NIACC, 77-69.

Lorensen said the Spartans (23-9) showed in their last trip to Cedar Rapids that they can contend with the eighth-ranked Eagles (24-6).

“At our place they clipped us pretty good (9268), but that was in that two-week stretch where we were not playing well,” Lorensen said. “At their place we were up 29-23 at

half, and lost 70-53. But with five minutes to go it was a four-point game and we fouled. It got extended to double digits on free throws and they hit a three at the end. They have a nice group and we’ll have to play well, but we don’t have to play a perfect game. We just need to make some shots and play well. I truly think any of the four teams left could win it.”

The highest seed of Thursday’s winners will host the regional final on Saturday at 3 p.m. The regional champion advances to the national tournament March 17-21 at Danville, Ill.

Funds raised during this event will be added to the Bill Krejci Endowment, established with the SWCC Education Foundation to assist SWCC baseball for years to come.

Kentucky still perfect, rallying from 9 down to beat Georgia

By PAUL NEWBERRY AP sports writer

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — As Kentucky exhaled after its first close call in a while, a Wildcats fan held up a sign that said it all: “UK. The Unbeatables.”

Make it 30-0.

Facing the largest second-half deficit of its sofar perfect season, No. 1 Kentucky clamped down defensively, ripped off a 14-0 run and put away pesky Georgia 72-64 on Tuesday night to remain unbeaten heading into the regular-season finale.

“You have kids here who have a will to win, they believe they’re going to win, and they made the plays they needed to make,” coach John Calipari said.

The Wildcats, improving to 17-0 in the Southeastern Conference, had won their previous five games by an average of 24 points.

They were really challenged in this one by Georgia (19-10, 10-7), which had the sellout crowd roaring when Yante Maten tipped in a miss of his own shot on the second attempt to put the Bulldogs up 5647 with just over 9 minutes remaining.

Kentucky has survived a few tight finishes along the way, most notably consecutive overtime wins over Mississippi and Texas A&M at the start of SEC play back in January.

Twice this season, they have trailed by as many as 11 points, but both of those deficits were in the first half, when the Wildcats still had plenty of time to seize control.

Georgia, using its quickness to offset Kentucky’s huge size advantage, had the Wildcats on the ropes after Maten’s hustle play capped a 17-4 spurt.

Did losing cross their minds?

“We were never thinking about that,” freshman

Karl-Anthony Towns said.

“We were just thinking what we needed to do at any given point to win the game.”

Andrew Harrison knocked down a 3-pointer from the corner to turn the tide, but Kentucky was still in some trouble when Nemanja Djurisic scored on the inside and Marcus Thornton hit two free throws to make it 62-56 with 5 1-2 minutes to go.

That was Georgia’s last gasp. The Wildcats began pounding the ball inside to the 6-foot-11 Towns, who managed to stay in the game until the closing seconds after picking up his fourth foul. He led the team with 19 points, all but two coming in the second half.

Towns and Aaron Harrison were huge down the stretch, combining for 12 of the 14 points during the decisive run. Towns had seven, including a threepoint play with 2:53 left that put Kentucky ahead to stay. Harrison chipped in with five, and Willie Cauley-Stein came up with a huge dunk off a missed free throw to give the Wildcats a four-point play on one possession.

Aaron Harrison scored 16 points, while his brother had 12.

Georgia hurt its chances by missing three straight 1-and-1s.

Djurisic topped the Bulldogs with 18 points, but only four came in the second half. Thornton added 14 and Kenny Gaines had 11.

“We did some good things, some really good things,” Thornton said.

“We just didn’t play perfect enough to win.”

Kentucky pushed out to its largest lead of the first half at 32-27, taking advantage of a flagrant foul on Gaines.

But Georgia scored the

final five points, the last of them coming on a running floater off the baseline by Djurisic, the ball dropping through the basket as the horn sounded.

Djurisic and the Bulldogs sprinted toward the locker room, tied at 32.

That was a striking change from the first meeting in Lexington, when Kentucky raced out to a 42-27 halftime lead and cruised to an 11-point win.

TIP-INS Kentucky: The Wildcats lead the series with Georgia 119-28. ... The previous best start in school history was 25-0 during the 195354 season. ... Kentucky clinched its third 30-win season in Calipari’s six years as coach.

Georgia: Georgia honored its three seniors before the final home game of the regular season. Djurisic, Thornton and former walk-on Taylor Echols were flanked by their parents as they were introduced at midcourt. Djurisic’s parents, who are from Montenegro, were in Athens this past week to see their son play collegiately for the first time. ... Thornton tied the school record for most career games with 129, a mark set by G.G. Smith and Michael Chadwick from 1996-99. ... The Bulldogs have two straight seasons with at least 10 SEC wins for only the second time in school history.

The only other time was 2002 and 2003.

“They’re definitely an NCAA team,” Calipari said.

TIGHT ALL THE WAY There were 18 lead changes and 10 ties in the game. Kentucky’s largest edge was the final margin.

UP NEXT Kentucky: Closes the regular season Saturday by hosting Florida.

Georgia: Travels to Auburn on Saturday.

Arcidiacono saves No. 4 ‘Nova in 76-72 victory over Bluejays

By ERIC OLSON AP sports writer

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Creighton’s physical defense left Villanova reeling, but the fourth-ranked Wildcats managed to get out of CenturyLink Center with their hopes for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament still intact.

Ryan Arcidiacono converted a three-point play to give Villanova the lead in the last minute and came up with the game’s final rebound, allowing the Wildcats win their 11th straight game, 76-72 on Tuesday night.

“That,” Arcidiacono said, “was one of our guttiest performances of the year.”

Indeed.

Austin Chatman’s 3-pointer had pulled the Bluejays within 74-72 with 6 seconds left, and they got the ball back after Arcidiacono ran into Chatman as Villanova tried to inbound.

Will Artino missed what would have been the tying layup, and Arcidiacono grabbed the ball and got fouled. As Arcidiacono shot the last free throws, what had been a juiced crowd of 16,337 began to quietly head for the exits.

“When we get into a game like that, nothing rattles us because we’re here for our brothers and here for our coaches,” said Dylan Ennis, who matched his career high with 19 points. “It was a great

atmosphere. That shouldn’t affect us at all. If the gym were empty we’d still play the same way — hard, smart and together and with pride.”

With a No. 1 NCAA seed in its sights, Villanova couldn’t afford a slip-up against the Big East’s ninth-place team.

The regular-season champion Wildcats ended up getting more than they bargained for from an opponent motivated to play spoiler.

Arcidiacono finished with 23 points for the Wildcats (28-2, 15-2), who trailed by nine points in the first half as Creighton played a tight defense that neutralized Darrun Hilliard and JayVaughn Pinkston.

“We didn’t have our players prepared for them to get up in us and be physical and stay with our guys everywhere,” Wildcats coach Jay Wright said.

Chatman scored 21 points to lead the Bluejays (13-17, 4-13), who lost for the seventh time when leading in the final minute.

“It’s really hard to have your team compete and fight and continue to believe in each other the way this group has, and not crumble from within, and not have them rewarded for that effort,” Creighton coach Greg McDermott said.

“That’s what bothers me the most. We fought our tails off.

We exerted a lot of energy the first half. It was arguably our best defensive half of the year.”

t doesn’t take the Luck o’ the Irish to throw a great St. Patrick’s Day party.

These tips and recipes will help you throw a festive celebration you’ll enjoy as much as your guests — including make-ahead corned beef and a mintygreen cookie recipe both adults and little leprechauns will love.

“We’ve developed recipes that make the tastes of Ireland easy to create — from

a simple Irish Soda Bread to a classic corned beef and cabbage recipe that can be made in a slow cooker,” said Mary Beth Harrington of the McCormick Kitchens.

“And don’t forget the treats! Our Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect ending to a perfectly green party.”

For more St. Patrick’s Day recipes, check out www.McCormick.com and visit McCormick Spice on Facebook and Pinterest.

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and seasonings in large bowl. Stir in cheese. Set aside. Mix eggs and buttermilk in medium bowl. Add to dry ingredients; stir until well blended. Spread in lightly grease 9-inch round cake pan.

Bake 30–40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

Tip: Make muffins instead of bread. Prepare dough as directed and divide among 12 greased muffin cups. Bake 20–25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cook 7 hours on high. Add cabbage. Cover. Cook 1–2 hours on high or until cabbage is tender-crisp.

Remove corned beef brisket to serving platter. Slice thinly across grain. Serve with vegetables.

Tip: For best results, do not remove cover while cooking in slow cooker.
