200 attend Supreme Court arguments Monday

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

An estimated 200 people took the opportunity to see Iowa Supreme Court justices in action Monday evening at Creston High School.

The seven justices heard oral arguments for Sanon v. City of Pella, a case that involves the drowning of two teenage boys while on a youth camp outing to the Pella Aquatic Center operated by the city of Pella. The live

event held last night was part of the court system’s public outreach program. Creston is the 16th community the justices have visited since 2011.

The justices were made aware of the three Creston men who drowned in an ice fishing accident north of Creston over the weekend. A moment of silence was held prior to the arguments.

Branstad plans Jacobson awarded Iowa VFW High School Teacher of the Year financial literacy

event for students

By IAN RICHARDSON CNA staff reporter irichardson@crestonnews. com

The Creston High School gym erupted in applause Monday morning as history teacher Todd Jacobson accepted the Iowa 2014-2015 VFW High School Teacher of the Year Award.

Jacobson, who served overseas during the Gulf War, was nominated by Lesa Downing, high school instructional coach and 2009-2010 Iowa VFW High School Teacher of the Year winner.

Gary O’Daniels, VFW Troop 1797 commander, and Denny Abel, VFW Troop 1797 quartermaster, presented Jacobson with the award Monday. Creston High School also received a plaque and a check for $100.

Each year the Iowa VFW selects three teachers for the award: one from high school, one from middle school and one from elementary school.

Downing, who first met Jacobson when he was a teacher at Shenandoah and shared his experiences during the Gulf War in a video for her students,

said Jacobson has a way of bringing history to life that makes his students appreciate their freedom.

“Teaching is a great profession. You have a lot of impact on a lot of students,” she said. “I think Todd has that, and I think that needs to be recognized when you have a teacher that’s pas-

sionate about kids.”

Jacobson received a trophy and a $500 check. He said he plans to put the money toward a sitting area at the Creston Freedom Rock in honor of his late father-in-law, Wilbur Chubick, who served in the Navy during the early 1950s.

afternoon indicates a closed session to discussion potential litigation.

The board is expected to publicly vote to sue Calhoun, Buena Vista and Sac counties.

In January it sent a notice of intent to sue, which is part of a procedure outlined in the federal Clean Water Act. The counties oversee 10 drainage districts north of Des Moines that help move water from fields.

The lawsuit will claim the drainage districts are the same as city wastewater treatment plants and should be regulated.

Des Moines water supplier to vote on lawsuit over nitrates

help prepare students and parents for college borrowing decisions.

Branstad expressed concerns about the debt load assumed by many students and said students must learn “not borrow money for things they don’t need.”

Iowa school districts are expected to teach certain financial lessons to K-12 students. A group formed by the state Department of Education last year recommended revising the current standards to provide more clarity to districts and establishing ways to measure if school districts are meeting the goals.

Irish Setter eats poisoned meat, dies after UK’s famed show Police in Belgium and Britain are aware of the incident, but authorities said they have not been asked to investigate.

■

LONDON (AP) — Tasty cubes of beef would tempt any dog, let alone one sitting patiently on the stand during public viewing at Crufts, Britain’s premier dog show.

But instead of a treat, one owner says a deadly surprise was sewn into the meat: slug killer.

Jagger, a 3-year-old Irish Setter, collapsed and died after leaving the show with a bellyful of poisoned beef, leaving his owners distraught and triggering a canine whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie.

The dog, also known as Thendara Satisfaction, died Friday shortly after returning to his home in Belgium from the Crufts show in Birmingham, England.

A post-mortem examination found the poisoned slug killer cubes in his stomach, according to Jeremy Bott, one of Jagger’s co-owners.

The only time Jagger was unattended and could have been poisoned was when he was on the stand for public viewing, his owners said - but they refused to believe that another competitor could have done such a thing.

“We can’t and we won’t think that this was the act of another exhibitor. If we thought this, we couldn’t go on, and the last 30 years would be a complete waste,” Dee Milligan Bott said on her Facebook page. “So I ask all of you to unite in finding the perpetrator who did this.”

But that still leaves the question: Who would kill a dog show contestant and why?

Jeremy Bott thinks it was a case of mistaken identity.

He said he believes the poisoner is someone who bears a grudge against dogs in general or the Crufts show in particular, but not Jagger himself.

In an article published in “Dog World,” Milligan Bott suggested the real target of the attack could have been another dog she owns, Thendara Pot Noodle. That dog won the “Best of Breed” title at Crufts, while Jagger finished second in a preliminary competition.

Police in Belgium and Britain are aware of the incident, but authorities said they have not been asked to investigate.

The Kennel Club, which organizes Crufts, said it is awaiting a toxicology report on Jagger’s stomach contents before deciding what action to take.

Milligan Bott told reporters outside her home that Jagger’s death shouldn’t overshadow “the positive sides of Crufts.”

“I certainly don’t want our dog shows - the places we work so hard to get to - to become a

ground of finger-pointing and suspicion,” she said.

The Kennel Club issued a second statement Monday after reports that another dog had fallen ill after Crufts.

“The facts surrounding Jagger’s sad death are still being established, and we must stress that any other unsubstantiated rumors about dogs being poisoned are just that,” the club said. “There are any number of reasons why a dog may display symptoms such as sickness. And should a dog fall sick, there are vets at the show who will examine the dog in question and file a report.”

No vets have raised concerns about poisoning at the show and “there have been no official complaints from any owners at Crufts 2015,” the club said.

Canine competitions have long been the subject of rumors about unscrupulous behavior - including owners slipping drugs to rival dogs. In 1996, a breeder was banned for giving valium to a Chihuahua at another British dog show.

And Crufts is not just any show. It is Britain’s most famous dog event, attracting more than 21,000 competitors from 43 countries this year. It was founded in 1891, about 14 years after New York’s Westminster dog show.

The stakes can be high.

Although the prizes for such shows are small - the “Best in Show” title carries a purse of just 100 pounds ($150) puppies from the winners can fetch thousands.

The grief of losing a beloved friend coursed through all the pictures and family statements Monday.

The Botts placed a large image of Jagger on their website, his russet coat gleaming, his head held high. The photo was simply captioned: RIP Jagger.

The Botts, who run a dog breeding operation in England, were part owners of Jagger. The dog lived as a family pet with their co-owners in Belgium, where he visited retirement homes so elderly residents could pat him on the head.

For his Belgian owner, Aleksandra Lauwers, the pain was evident in a posting on her Facebook page.

“To person who has done it, hope you can sleep well knowing you have killed our love, family member and best friend to our son,” she wrote.

Both families asked the media to leave them in peace to mourn.

attorney — who helped coordinate this event. “Many were aware of the tragic situation and we all agreed it would be appropriate to recognize these men and their families before the arguments.”

Poor lighting Thomas Duff, representing the plaintiff in Sanon v.

City of Pella, started arguments at around 7:10 p.m.

He explained that the night the two boys “tragically” and “unnecessarily” died in the bottom of the city’s pool the lighting at the facility was inadequate. Duff said the water that night was murky and several testified you could not see to the bottom of the pool.

“The city pool manager knew about the dangers of the inadequate lighting and, in fact, testified in a prior proceeding that he would have concerns with having his own children swim in the pool at night,” Duff said.

Duff added that many believe the immunity defense does not apply in this case because of criminal defense exception in the Iowa Code.

Jason Palmer, representing the city of Pella, began his argument around 7:30 p.m. He told the justices — according to Iowa Code — underwater lights are not required to be installed by cities and the only rule is the overhead lights must be bright enough that somebody can see the

drain at the bottom of the pool when water clarity is proper.

Justice David Wiggins pointed out, though, the water clarity was not proper the evening the two boys died.

“You can’t erase that fact,” Wiggins said.

Iowa Supreme Court adjourned at the high school just after 8 p.m. Monday.

Moving forward, the justices will deliberate and a written judgment in this case will be filed sometime

before the end of June.

“They actually went back to the Supertel (in Creston) last night and began deliberating in the conference room,” Kenyon said.

The Creston News Advertiser does plan to report their decision in this case once the judgment is filed.

Union County Development provided dinner for the justices before the arguments Monday. Also, Creston Chamber of Commerce hosted a “meet and

greet” coffee gathering following the arguments.

This morning, the justices each visited a school.

Those high schools include Creston, Greenfield, Carlisle, Interstate 35, Winterset and Clarke. As well, Justice Bruce Zager visited Southwestern Community College.

The justices have now been to 16 communities and spoken at 100 different high schools or colleges since starting this outreach activity in 2011.

AP Source: Clinton expected to take questions on emails NEW YORK (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton is opening up about her email practices as secretary of state, after days of silence and intensifying calls from Democrats as well as Republicans to address the matter.

The potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate planned to discuss her use of a private email a c c o u n t Clinton following a speech at the United Nations, and was expected to take questions, according to a person familiar with Clinton’s thinking. The person spoke on condition of anonymity and was not authorized to speak on the record.

Clinton ignored the issue at a forum Monday while fellow Democrats urged her to speak out about conducting business in a private email account while secretary of state.

Republicans are ramping up their attention on the issue.

Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois — the No. 2 Senate Democrat — became the first member of his party’s leadership to call on Clinton to address the issue. “I think it’s only fair to say to Hillary Clinton: ‘Tell us your side of the story,’” Durbin said Tuesday on MSNBC. “What did you put on this personal email?”

Democrats on the House panel investigating the fatal 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, asked the State Department to make public some of Clinton’s emails that recently were provided to the committee. They wrote to Secretary of State John Kerry and urged him to make a priority of the 850 pages of documents that the department gave to the panel.

The State Department is reviewing 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton has turned over, and Republicans in Congress have said they plan to review her email practices.

The White House has said

Addressing the issue Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois — the No. 2 Senate Democrat — became the first member of his party’s leadership to call on Clinton to address the issue. “I think it’s only fair to say to Hillary Clinton: ‘Tell us your side of the story,’” Durbin said Tuesday on MSNBC. “What did you put on this personal email?” that President Barack Obama learned only recently that Clinton was using a privately run server for emailing during her tenure and that she was using private email for all official business. He was aware of the account’s existence before because the two had exchanged emails using it.

Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said Clinton should turn the server itself over to an “independent arbiter.”

The planned news conference would be her first since she left the State Department in early 2013.

OPINION

From Crispus Attucks to Michael Brown: race and revolution March 5 marks an important but oft-overlooked anniversary.

On a winter’s day 245 years ago, in the year 1770, an angry crowd formed in Boston, then the capital of the Province of Massachusetts Bay. People were enraged by the extortionate taxes imposed by the British Parliament. In order to quell the public furor, the British sent troops, who violently quashed dissent. On that cold day, people had had enough. Word spread after a British private beat a young man with the butt of his musket.

By late day, hundreds of Bostonians gathered, jeering the small crowd of redcoat soldiers arrayed with muskets loaded. The soldiers fired into the crowd, instantly killing Crispus Attucks and two others. Attucks was a man of African and Native American ancestry, and is considered the first casualty of the American Revolution. It took the indiscriminate murder of a man of color, by armed agents of the state, to launch the revolution. Which brings us to Ferguson, Missouri.

“Nearly seven months have passed since the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown,” U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in opening his press briefing Wednesday. He was detailing the findings of two Justice Depart-

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

ment investigations in the killing of the unarmed African-American youth by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. “The facts do not support the filing of criminal charges against Officer Darren Wilson in this case. Michael Brown’s death, though a tragedy, did not involve prosecutable conduct on the part of Officer Wilson.” With those words, the outgoing attorney general laid to rest any prospect of a criminal trial sought by so many seeking justice for Michael Brown. But Brown’s death continues to send shock waves, through his community, and beyond.

Importantly, Holder went on to describe the findings of the second, broader study, titled “Investigation of the Ferguson Police Department.” “Local authorities consistently approached law enforcement not as a means for protecting public safety, but as a way to generate revenue,” he reported. Ferguson, he said, was a “community where both policing and municipal-court practices

were found to disproportionately harm African-American residents ... this harm frequently appears to stem, at least in part, from racial bias -- both implicit and explicit.”

Ferguson is one of about 90 municipalities in St. Louis County, in the suburbs of the city of St. Louis.

Ferguson and many other towns in the region generate a significant portion of their annual budget by heavily ticketing people for minor infractions.

“Despite making up 67 percent of the population,” the DOJ report stated, “African Americans accounted for 85 percent of FPD’s [Ferguson Police Department] traffic stops, 90 percent of FPD’s citations, and 93 percent of FPD’s arrests from 2012 to 2014.”

Michael-John Voss, managing attorney at ArchCity Defenders, represents many of those harassed by these police stops. He told me, “What we have in St. Louis, in the municipalities in St. Louis County, is a modern debtors’ prison.

African-American are disproportionately targeted by police ... they are also exploited because of their financial inability to pay certain fines and costs related to that traffic stop. If they don’t have the ability to pay, they become incarcerated.” The fines mount, creating a vicious cycle, leaving

the predominantly poor African-American victims trapped by debt.

The 100-page DOJ report includes numerous, disturbing cases of racist Ferguson police conduct, from use of the N-word during violent arrests to emails with comments about President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama. One email depicted him as a chimpanzee; another predicted he would not last as president because “what black man holds a steady job for four years.” Further email exchanges revealed the extent to which revenues from infractions were actively pursued by city government. In one email, Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson bragged “of the 80 St. Louis County Municipal Courts reporting revenue, only 8, including Ferguson, have collections greater than one million dollars.”

Eric Holder, giving what could ultimately be his final press briefing before stepping down (depending on if and when the Republican majority in the Senate approves his nominated successor, Loretta Lynch, who would be the first African-American woman to serve as attorney general), announced that Ferguson and surrounding communities will be under federal supervision. They will

change, or the Department of Justice will sue them to force change.

“It’s not about making minor reforms and plotting along in the same direction,” Ohio State University law professor Michelle Alexander, author of “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness,” told us on the “Democracy Now!” news hour. “It’s about mustering the courage to have a major reassessment of where we are as America, reckon with our racial history as well as our present, and build a broad-based movement rooted in the awareness of the dignity and humanity of us all.”

From Crispus Attucks to Michael Brown 245 years later, two things remain clear: We never know what sparks a revolution.

And black lives matter. *** Denis Moynihan contributed research to this column. *** Amy Goodman is the host of “Democracy Now!,” a daily international TV/radio news hour airing on more than 1,200 stations in North America.

Tiger Woods skipped the Doral Open to stay home and practice HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America and how’s everybody?

Tiger Woods skipped the Doral Open to stay home and practice and try to get his game back in shape in time for the Masters. The PGA Tour needs him out there playing, but he must first get his tee shots back under control. So far this year, Harrison Ford has hit more fairways than Tiger Woods.

Harrison Ford was reported doing fine by doctors and family members Friday after he crashed a vintage World War II trainer plane on a West Los Angeles golf course.

He climbed out of the wreckage with only a few gashes to the head.

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

Out of habit, CNN is reporting that the plane is missing.

L.A. golfers who witnessed Harrison Ford crash landing a plane on a public golf course Thursday said he swerved hard to avoid hitting neighborhood houses just out of bounds. It could have been much worse. Had Ford landed at a country club it could have cost him a million-dollar membership fee.

“Council denies plans for Adams Street bridge project.”

Built in 1940, an engineer has decided it has four years of life remaining before additional

weight limits would need to be posted, so we’ve decided to just replace the bridge at a mere cost of $1.7 million. There goes our fuel tax gain.

Another option would be to post the additional weight restriction signs and save that mon-

ey for a more high traffic bridge.

Failing common sense cures, if the bridge must go, tear it out and replace it with a couple of metal tubes wide enough to accommodate walkers, or does the state have us tied in knots over that too?

I don’t understand From Beth Olson Creston

I don’t understand why people we elect can’t find ways to cut spending and waste so the budget can operate on tax dollars and fees currently available. I know we have several old ball fields, city owned and maintained that are unused or under used that could easily be put back on the tax rolls adding much needed money for the budget.

I have seen worker inefficiency. Our city workers should be required to work as efficiently as private companies. If they cannot do the job they are hired to do they should be let go.

I feel big ticket improvements or projects should be put to a vote to see if they are important enough for the town to spend our money on. We would not need a vote if the people who elected listened to voters a little better, but until that happens perhaps a vote is necessary.

One case in point is the quiet zone. It is an eye sour and a problem. This town has been a railroad town for 150 years. The town grew in spite of the railroad noise and many jobs and businesses flourished because of the railroad. For 150 years the noise did not hurt or bother the Creston residents and other communities that shopped here. To my knowledge it still does not bother the majority of our residents. Now suddenly our city council has decided the noise is a problem. Supposedly there were a few complaints. I would think the majority of the citizens should be consulted on the need to accommodate a few citizens unless those few citizens want to pay for the entire project.

Another thing I don’t understand is why we are raising salaries to compare with communities with more businesses and a larger tax base. If the revenue in our city cannot easily afford raises, we may need to consider salary freezes to

keep them within the budget. If the tax base grows then raises, can be considered again. Other private organizations run within the revenue they receive, and if the revenue does not support raises, the employees have to go without.

Our city council is responsible to keep expenses within the revenue received. We should not make up a budget and then say well you people are going to have to pay for this whether you like it or not. We should have a voice. That is why I thought we had a city council. I thought they were looking out for all of us, not just themselves and their close associates. There is a lot of work to run a city efficiently and city council positions are difficult because many things must be considered. Perhaps residents need to work more closely with the council to come up with better solutions to the budget problems and the city council needs to listen better to the complaints and suggestions from the public.

Inherited keys lack an address Dear Heloise: Our father passed away last March. I am the executor and have found several SAFE-DEPOSIT KEYS in his belongings. Is there any way to determine if these are current and/or what bank the boxes are in? — J.T. in Texas Dear J.T.: My sincere condolences on the passing of your father. I know how difficult it can be.

Start by contacting any bank he may have had dealings with. Write each one, and include a death certificate and proof of executor. You can ask the banks to check for accounts that he may have opened.

The bank you use may be able to help you find out what bank issued the keys. — Heloise DRY-ERASE BOARD Dear Heloise: I am a teacher and use dry-erase (white) boards. The commercial cleaners are excellent, but expensive. I have used straight 70 percent isopropyl alcohol to clean the boards, but the fumes are strong. Do you have a recipe for cleaning dryerase boards? — Rod Rowell, Canal Fulton, Ohio Hey, Rod, thanks for writ-

Hints from Heloise ing, and for being a teacher! I have a lifetime teacher’s certificate and was going to teach math. Yes, alcohol is a good cleaner that will save you money. The “fumes” usually dissipate when the surface is dry. Here is a Heloise cleaning solution for you to use: Good old, cheap baking soda! Make a paste of water and baking soda, thick enough so it does not run, and scrub lightly.

Wipe with a wet cloth (water) and dry ASAP. I have a very helpful pamphlet highlighting even more of my favorite uses and recipes for baking soda.

To order one, please send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. To order online, go to www.Heloise.com. Try using a baking-soda paste on any tough stains around the classroom on desks, walls and even floors. Rinse well to remove all residue. — Heloise REPURPOSE HINT

Dear Heloise: I replaced my dishwasher and saved the utensil rack to use for small tools. The divisions keep like tools together, and it is easy to carry around. The roll-out bottom rack is great for filing patterns in my sewing room, and can be rolled out of sight under a table or bed, or in the closet.

Also, the big drawers from a discarded refrigerator come in handy for pull-out storage under sinks and so forth. — B.J. in Tennessee SECOND LIFE Dear Heloise: Instead of just tossing used dryer sheets, place them in the bottom of your wastebaskets to add a little fragrance.

The Big Ten Conference announced all of their awards, with Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky and Bo Ryan taking the coaches Player and Coach of the Year. Kaminsky was also the media’s choice as Player of the Year, and Mark Turgeon of Maryland was their choice as Coach of the Year.

QB injured JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott was injured during a fight at a concert in Panama City, Florida, on Monday afternoon while vacationing during spring break, a school spokesman said.

Bill Martin said he spoke with Prescott about the fight, which also involved teammates Torrey Dale and Damian Williams. Martin said Prescott suffered facial cuts after being hit with a bottle, but did not have to go to the hospital and police were not involved.

Martin said Prescott did not want to press charges and the three players are headed back to Starkville.

Prescott sent a message on Twitter Monday night that said “Thanks for all the Concerns and Prayers! I’m okay and ready to get back to Starkville. Ignorance happens! Be safe on Spring Break!”

Prescott threw for 3,449 yards and 27 touchdowns last season while also running for 986 yards and 14 touchdowns. Mississippi State finished with a 10-3 record during a season that also included a fiveweek stretch as the No. 1 team in the nation.

Zags roll LAS VEGAS (AP) — Gonzaga struggled to get going in the first half and led Pepperdine by just two points at the break.

However, once the seventh-ranked Bulldogs got going, they just ran away from the Waves.

For the second consecutive game, Gonzaga used a big second-half run to put away an opponent, beat Pepperdine 79-61 Monday night to advance to its 18th straight West Coast Conference tournament final.

Byron Wesley and Kyle Wiltjer combined to score 25 of the Bulldogs’ first 30 points in the second half as Gonzaga (31-2) took a 55-35 lead midway through the period.

3-point barrage knocks out Wolverines

Creston News Advertiser Tuesday, March 10, 2015

DES MOINES — Topranked and undefeated Gladbrook-Reinbeck put Nodaway Valley away early here Monday in a Class 1A quarterfinal at the Boys State Basketball Tournament.

Joe Smoldt and Camden Kickbush combined to shoot 7-of-9 from behind the 3-point arc in the first half, as the Rebels never trailed and held a 41-20 lead by the halftime break.

Smoldt had 12 points by the end of the first quarter, which saw Gladbrook-Reinbeck take a 17-3 lead.

Nodaway Valley, meanwhile, started the game 0-of10 from behind the 3-point arc and shot just 1-14 from the field in the first quarter.

“No, not that hot. I’ve seen two guards before, but nothing like that!” Nodaway Valley head coach Darrell Burmeister said when asked if he’d seen a pair of guards like Smoldt and Kickbush.

For the game, Gladbrook-Reinbeck shot 54.9 percent from the floor and 11-22 from behind the 3-point arc. Nodaway Valley shot 34.5 percent from the floor and 26.7 percent from behind the 3-point line.

Smoldt finished with a game-high 31 points, while Kickbush added 24. The Rebel backcourt combined to make all 11 Gladbrook-Reinbeck 3-pointers in the game.

“Obviously, we’re a 3-point shooting team just like they are, and ours just

weren’t falling and theirs were,” Nodaway Valley senior David Schweitzer said. “ T h e y matched us up with a manto-man.

W e ’ v e seen that all year.

It wasn’t Schweitzer a n y thing we weren’t used to, we just didn’t get in the flow at first.”

One of the keys for Gladbrook-Reinbeck was holding Nodaway Valley junior Jackson Lamb, the third-highest scorer in Class 1A, in check.

Lamb was limited to just six points at halftime on 2-13 shooting.

He finished with a team-high 19 points on 7-24 shooting.

He re- Lamb corded a double-double with 10 rebounds.

“It was straight man, but we were going to have penetration help,” Gladbrook-Reinbeck head coach Scott Kiburis said about the defense on Lamb. “Especially on the on-ball screens, we were going to try to hedge as much as we could.

If we got to the point where we needed to double team him to get the ball out of his hands, we would have done that, too.”

Lamb was unable to finish on a pair of drives to the bas-

ket early in the game, and struggled to find a rhythm offensively.

“They’re quick and they’ve got a lot of athletes out there,” Burmeister said.

“Sometimes we can free him up with screens and things like that. We weren’t able to do that much tonight.

They always had someone

else jumping him coming off those screens. Usually he finishes those drives to the basket. He wasn’t able to finish those tonight.”

The lead grew to as much as 34 points in the second half, as the Rebels opened the half on a 19-6 run, capped by a Cameron Clark layup.

Lamb was finally able to get some shots to drop in the second half, as did Nate Venteicher and Schweitzer.

Venteicher finished with 11 points and Schweitzer recorded 10 points.

Hard times over, Terps going Cyclones look strong ahead into B10 tournament on a roll of Big 12 tournament Wednesday and has sixth-ranked

By ERIC OLSON AP Sports Writer

With seven straight wins, Big Ten runner-up Maryland is the hottest team heading into this week’s conference tournament in Chicago. Not bad considering the Terrapins endured a tumultuous offseason and were picked to finish 10th in their first year in the league.

On Monday they found themselves No. 8 in the Top 25 — their highest ranking in 12 years — and fresh off a victory at Nebraska that gave them a school-record 26 regular-season wins.

Coach Mark Turgeon initially demurred when asked if this, so far, has been the most enjoyable of his 17 seasons as a head coach.

“I try not to rank them,” he said. But “considering what we’ve gone through here, this has been pretty satisfying.”

Last spring five players transferred, including starting point guard Seth Allen, and it left Turgeon to reassess the culture in his program. The players who stayed and the newcomers have formed a strong bond, and the Terps are assured of making the NCAA Tournament for the first time in five years.

Freshman point guard Melo Trimble has been one of the Big Ten’s big surprises, averaging a team-leading 16.1 points. Senior guard-forward Dez Wells has averaged 18.7 points and 6.7 rebounds the last seven games.

“Dez Wells just brings a toughness to that team that is uncanny, and Trimble — I don’t know if anybody knew how good he was.

Most of us didn’t. But he’s had an extraordinary year,” said Michigan State coach Tom Izzo, whose team lost twice to the Terps and could face them again in the Big Ten semifinals. “Good coaching, good players on that team, but the way those two have risen has really made a difference.”

Some things to watch in the Big Ten tournament, which opens

Wisconsin as the No. 1 seed: INJURY UPDATE: Branden Dawson (concussion) is expected to play in Michigan State’s first game Friday, Izzo said, but Javon Bess (broken foot) is done for the season. Indiana coach Tom Crean said 3-point shooting specialist Collin Hartman (leg bruise) will play Thursday against Northwestern. Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan, who had hoped Traevon Jackson (broken foot) would be ready by tournament time, said he had no idea whether the point guard would play this week.

FAIR FORMAT: Coaches agreed the tournament format, which gives double-byes to the top four seeds, is fair. The new format is the result of the conference’s expansion to 14 teams.

“The teams that got it done all year should be rewarded. The teams that didn’t, well, unfortunately, you’re going to have to win five,” said coach Patrick Chambers of No. 13 seed Penn State.

BROODING BUCKEYES? Ohio State heads to Chicago off a 72-48 defeat to Wisconsin that was its worst at home since losing by 28 to West Virginia in December 2008. The fifth-seeded Buckeyes play Rutgers or Minnesota on Thursday. Coach Thad Matta plans to rebuild his players’ psyche between now and then.

“After the game, I did all the talking,” Matta said. “I said, ‘Hey, we had a bad day. Give them credit.’ As we move forward, we’re going into situations now where it’s lose and you go home. From that perspective, we’ll get them back up, get a couple good practices and get them ready to go again.”

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

AMES (AP) — Last season’s Big 12 tournament title was a watershed moment for Iowa State. It was the first time that the promise shown by coach Fred Hoiberg and the Cyclones had culminated in a championship.

They could soon add another trophy to their collection.

No. 13 Iowa State (22-8, 12-6 Big 12) enters this year’s league tournament as one of the favorites as the second seed.

Top-seeded Kansas could be without star Perry Ellis, and the Cyclones are just a week removed from scoring 59 points in one half and beating third-seeded Oklahoma 77-70.

Iowa State, which won its last two games behind big second-half runs, opens against either Texas or Texas Tech on Thursday, with a potential rubber match against the Sooners looming in the semifinals.

“I like where we are right now.

I like the last two games. I’ve liked the mentality of our team, obviously especially in the second half,” Hoiberg said.

Iowa State’s versatility and 3-point shooting, combined with the matchup issues presented by players like center Jameel McKay and forward Georges Niang, makes things extremely difficult for opposing defenses — especially with just a day to prepare.

But Iowa State McKay hasn’t been nearly as consistent on the other end of the floor.

The Cyclones’ lack of defensive effort has cost them more than a few games this season. But after letting the Sooners build a 21-point lead last Monday, Iowa State held them to just 33 points in the second half and finished off

what was arguably the best comeback in school history.

Iowa State slipped again in the first half against TCU on Saturday, only to rally with 63 points in the second half of an 89-76 win.

“We’re going to have to play better. We’re going to have to play 40 minutes of basketball if we want to make a run in Kansas City, if we want to make a run in the NCAA tournament,” Hoiberg Hoiberg said.

Perhaps the most encouraging development in the win over the Horned Frogs was the re-emergence of Bryce Dejean-Jones.

The senior guard was benched in favor of Jameel McKay on Feb. 7. The new rotation clicked so tightly that Hoiberg kept using it.

Dejean-Jones has thrived at times in his new role as Iowa State’s sixth man. But he also didn’t play in the second half of the win over Oklahoma as Hoiberg stuck with the lineup whose 22-0 run doomed the Sooners.

If there was any frustration over being benched, Dejean-Jones didn’t show it against the Horned Frogs. He scored 15 points, including 11 in the second half.

“He gets a lot of credit for his scoring. But when Bryce wants to, he can be a great defender. He can do a lot of different things,” McKay said. “When he’s coming out and being aggressive, you can tell. He was just out there playing within himself and having fun.”

Iowa State used last season’s Big 12 tournament run as a tuneup to the NCAA tournament, when it reached the Sweet Sixteen for the first time since 2000.

Sports briefs All-conference PELLA — Central College sophomore Colby Taylor of Creston was named to the Iowa Conference second all-conference team.

Teammate Nile Eckermann, senior guard from Clear Creek-Amana, was named to the first team after making a school-record 74 3-pointers in 26 games. His 15.3 points per game were fourth best in the league. He also had 2.8 assists per game.

Taylor, last year’s D3hoops West Region’s R o o k ie of the Year, led Central in points (16.4 per Taylor game), rebounds (9.6 average), steals (1.7 average) and assists (2.9 per game). His 21 rebounds against Simpson on Feb. 7 stands as the second best single-game performance in Central history. Taylor was named the league’s male athlete and men’s basketball p;layer of the week twice this season.

Senior Kyle Newendorp of Pella received honorable mention in the all-league selections.

BC softball The Briar Cliff softball team bounced back from its 0-2 start by going 2-0 on day two of the team’s spring trip with a 9-5 victory over Westminister and 7-1 win over No. 19 William Woods.

She scored three runs.

In the 5-2 loss to Avila on day one, Briley paced Briar Cliff with two hits.

Two costly errors hampered Frain’s cause, after allowing only one run through four innings.

Frain pitched the first 1.2 innings in a 12-3 loss to Wichita State. She allowed three walks and four hits.

Frain also had a brief relief appearance for starter Rachel Cue in a 12-2 loss to Nebraska on Sunday. She faced six batters, allowing three hits with a walk while recording two outs.

Penn State’s Chambers was less dramatic.

“It was a good thing,” he said of Sunday’s win, “because you get a road win and you break a losing streak. Two positives. And we haven’t seen many positives in the last few weeks.

We definitely feel we have some momentum.”

WOLVERINES: Continued from page 7A

Nate and our guys, they hit some open threes today,” Burmeister said. “Hats off to our players who did get open off that pressure they had on Jackson.”

Aside from Gladbrook-Reinbeck’s hot outside shooting, one of the biggest differences in the game, according to Burmeister, was Nodaway Valley’s inability to score off its own misses.

For the game, the Wolverines grabbed seven offensive rebounds and scored just six second-chance points.

Nodaway Valley was outrebounded 39-27 in total rebounds.

Seniors Tanner Armstrong and Nathan Andrews, who have been solid rebounders all year for the Wolverines, were limited to just four and one rebounds, respectively.

Armstrong was held scoreless and Andrews scored just five points.

“We just didn’t have any offensive rebounding,” Burmeister said.

“I thought that was the key. Offensive rebounding, putbacks by Nate and Tanner. We really needed something from Nate and Tanner offensively, and I don’t think we got a lot of putbacks by them.”

Gladbrook-Reinbeck improved to 26-0 and advances to Thursday’s semifinal game against Earlham, a 63-50 winner over Belle Plaine Monday.

Nodaway Valley, meanwhile, finished its season with a mark of 19-7.

“We’re happy with the season. It’s always tough for the seniors,” Burmeister said. “We knew we had a tough task coming in, but we prepared really well this past week. We expected to win. That’s the only way we prepare. We knew we had a tough opponent and we worked really hard.”

Making it to the state tournament was an accomplishment for this Nodaway Valley squad.
