Scadden resigns as county’s VA director

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

Union County is starting the search for a new Veterans Affair director after the resignation of the current director, Kevin Scadden, effective April 1.

VFW Post 1797 Commander Gary O’Daniels informed the Union County Board of Supervisors of the resignation during Monday’s meeting and described

the next steps to finding a new director.

“Kevin has done a great job of getting everything done and running like it should be,” Scadden O’Daniels said.

O’Daniels added the last search for a director had about 15 applicants. The deadline for applying will be March 22 so a new director

can be named by April 1.

The VA office is required to be open 20 hours a week, but it is up to the director when the office is open for operation.

In other county news

Supervisors unanimously passed the fiscal year 2014-15 budget. The levy is down this year from $13.79 to $13.71.

The estimated total assessed value for Union County is also down from $5,292,510 this fiscal year to an estimated $5,195,447 for

FY 2014-15.

“We are trying to be frugal and spend only where it needs to go,” said Supervisor Chairman Dennis Brown.

Supervisors set a public hearing date for the final amendments to the FY 2013-14 budget at 10 a.m.

March 24.

Adjustments include secondary roads for equipment and construction costs, the transfer of mental health funds to pay off state bills and expenses for the

medical examiner.

Union County Auditor Sandy Hysell said in cases like the medical examiner, it is a guess how many times the county will have to use that service. There are enough funds to cover all the amendments for the FY 2013-14 budget.

A public hearing was also set for the new mental health region at 10:15 a.m. March 24. The new region — Southern Hills Regional Mental Health — will start July 1.

Who will it be?

Kiernan Norton, Brenton Barber and Dylan Anson are all on track to become Union County’s 100th Eagle Scout.

Jones Township in Union County was forced to quickly appoint a new clerk and trustee after the previous position holders moved out of the township.

The township has a clerk and three trustee positions. Their main responsibility is to pass a budget to take care of the cemeteries in the township and settle fence disputes between neighbors.

Britanee Ward was approved as the new clerk by the Union County Board of Supervisors Monday after her parents, Lysa and Mike Ward, moved out of the township.

Lysa was serving as the clerk and Mike was a trustee.

Supervisors approved Carol McGuire to fill the vacant trustee position. McGuire will be serving with Jerry Henrichs.

The third trustee position is currently vacant after Dan Waigand also moved out of the Jones Township. With two trustees and a clerk, there is still a quorum, so the township can pass the budget, but will continue to search for an eligible individual to fill the third trustee position.

Serving the Only the most determined Boy community

Scouts attain the rank of Eagle Boy Scouts of America’s top distinction. It is an undertaking that requires unwavering devotion, and not all scouts are destined to make it.

According to the National Boy Scouts of America, only two percent of Boy Scouts achieve Eagle status. However, in almost 80 years, Union County has produced 99 Eagle Scouts.

Troop No. 129, which includes all of Union County, could have its 100th Eagle as early as May. According to Scout Master Dave Jennett, three young Crestonians are quickly moving toward becoming an Eagle Scout — Kiernan Norton,

To become an Eagle, a Scout must earn 21 merit badges, which involve Norton learning a number of leadership and life skills and performing community service.

Additionally, each Boy Scout vying for Eagle status must complete a service project, which is chosen, planned and carried out by the Scout.

Creston High School sophomore Kiernan Norton, 16, of Creston, the son of Tim and Bunny Norton, is three merit badges away from becoming an Eagle Scout.

Norton said he is currently working on finishing merit badge

requirements in family life, fitness and personal management.

For Norton, the family life merit badge involves activities like “chores” and working with his parents and siblings as a team to accomplish goals around the house.

Personal management involves learning life skills such as managing personal finances and the fitness merit badge requirements

“My mom ... used to be the Girl Scout leader,” said Norton. “She’s been helping through everything and I am really grateful for that.”

Barber, who is the son of Casey Barber and Charlotte Fletcher of Creston, began his scouting experience as

Of the three in the running to become the 100th Eagle Scout, Norton is the only one to have finished his Eagle Scout service project.

Barber has helped staff pancake suppers at his church and most recently volunteered serving meals at a homeless shelter in Kansas City.

Anson, who is the son of Joe and Tina Anson of Creston, is the troop’s senior patrol leader. At 13, Anson runs the meetings, out meal plans, camp “Multiply that by picks houses and projects. the number of When asked what it takes to become an Eagle Scout, boys that have Anson said it’s a lot of work gone through and Scouts who don’t make the program and the rank just don’t try hard enough. there’s a lot of “You have to be determined to get it,” said Anbenefit to the son. community.”

To meet this badge requirement, Barber and Anson are working on building a house with Habitat for Humanity in Creston with the guidance of Troy Petersen, their merit badge counselor.

Lifelong leadership Jennett said Eagle Scouts possess a set of character traits, which include maturity, loyalty, integrity and leadership.

“The goal of the scouting program is building tomorrow’s leaders through character and leadership,” said Jennett.

With all of the community service hours required to pass through the ranks, Jennett said said there are 24, not including the hours spent on an Eagle Scout service project.

“Multiply that by the number of boys that have gone through the program and there’s a lot of benefit to the community.”

Iowa Gov. Branstad leery of medicinal marijuana lem or ailment,” Branstad told his weekly news conference.

Branstad said other states which have loosened laws allowing marijuana for medical or recreational purposes have encountered “unintended consequences” in the aftermath.

A total of 20 states and the District of Columbia have adopted prescription programs to dispense marijuana to patients with cancer, epilepsy or other medical conditions.

For one thing, the Iowa governor said a growing drug abuse problem in Iowa is the incidents of unauthorized people obtaining prescription drugs and he does

not want to do something that would exacerbate that problem.

“I just think there’s a lot more study that needs to go on before we embark on this kind of an experiment,” he said.

Bills to legalize medical marijuana have been introduced in the Iowa House and the Iowa Senate but have died in committee.

Last week legislative leaders said they welcomed efforts to educate lawmakers about the medicinal merits of marijuana, but the practice is not going to be legalized any time soon.

Medical experts and family members of suffering patients have pressed law-

makers and Branstad this year about the therapeutic benefits of marijuana treatments for seizures and other forms of chronic pain.

The governor said he feels sympathy for those families but feels there is a need to carefully review the implications of changing the state’s current policy barring legal marijuana uses.

OPINION

44 years a prisoner: The case of Eddie Conway Marshall “Eddie” Conway walked free from prison this week, just one month shy of 44 years behind bars. He was convicted of the April 1970 killing of a Baltimore police officer. Conway has always maintained his innocence. At the time of his arrest and trial, he was a prominent member of the Baltimore chapter of the Black Panther Party, the militant black-rights organization that was the principal focus of COINTELPRO, the FBI’s illegal “counterintelligence program.” The FBI, under the leadership of J. Edgar Hoover, surveilled and infiltrated Black Panther chapters from coast to coast, disrupting their organizing activities, often with violence.

The prosecution alleged Conway was behind the fatal shooting of Baltimore police officer Donald Sager. The case hinged on the testimony of a police officer and a jailhouse informant, who claimed Conway described the crime while they were sharing a cell. Former Baltimore NAACP President Marvin “Doc” Cheatham, a longtime supporter of Conway’s, told The Baltimore Sun: “This was when the COINTEL program was at its

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

height. ... They did not have a witness who saw him there. They had no fingerprints or evidence there.

They basically convicted him on the basis of what we now call an informant.” A global movement grew calling for Conway’s release.

In 2001, the Baltimore City Council passed a resolution asking the Maryland governor to pardon him.

Conway’s arrest happened a full year before a group of anti-war activists broke into the FBI field office in Media, Pa., and took thousands of pages of classified FBI documents and released them to the press. The word “COINTELPRO” was exposed for the first time.

One of Conway’s attorneys for more than 20 years, Bob Boyle, explained: “Mr. Conway’s trial took place in January of 1971. The break-in at the office in Media, Pennsylvania, which led to the dis-

closures concerning COINTELPRO, did not occur until April of 1971. So Eddie went to trial at a time when COINTELPRO was still active and the jury did not know that there was this campaign to neutralize the leadership and the organization of the Black Panther Party.”

It was in this environment that the Baltimore chapter of the Black Panther Party was created. Conway had been in the U.S. Army in Germany and was bound for Vietnam. Then, in the summer of 1967, he saw a photo of the riots in Newark, N.J. He told me, “They put armored personnel carriers in the center of the black community, and they pointed .50 caliber machine guns at about 25 or 30 black women standing on a corner ... something was wrong with that picture, and I could probably come home and help join some efforts to reform that.”

He joined the NAACP, and he joined CORE (the Congress of Racial Equality). He continued: “I looked at all the different organizations, and the Black Panther Party represented at least a serious attempt to start feeding the children,

to start educating the population, to start organizing health care and stuff like that. So I joined and started working with them.”

What Conway didn’t know was that the Baltimore chapter of the Panthers was actually created by a police infiltrator. Conway became suspicious of one of the local Black Panther leaders. He told me: “There was a defense captain named Warren Hart, he worked for the National Security Agency. ... I was instrumental in exposing him after a lengthy investigation, and he fled the country.” Not long after exposing the agent, Conway was arrested for the charges that ultimately landed him in prison for close to 44 years.

He led an exemplary life behind bars, movingly detailed in his memoir, “Marshall Law.” He told us on the “Democracy Now!” news hour about Maryland’s prisons: “There was a tremendous amount of young men in prison, and because there wasn’t anything constructive to do, there was a tremendous amount of violence. So I started off first trying to, one, change that violence thing, and then, two, find things

that could help enhance the prisoner’s life.” He co-founded Friend of a Friend, a prison mentoring program affiliated with the American Friends Service Committee, to help the youngest and most vulnerable prisoners adapt and better survive the brutal prison system.

Eddie Conway will turn 68 in April.

After 44 years behind bars, you would think he would never want to set foot in a prison again. But that is not Eddie Conway. For his future, he says: “I’m going to continue to work with the Friend of a Friend organization. I think we’ve saved a lot of lives. I think we can save a lot more.” *** 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. She is the co-author of “The Silenced Majority,” a New York Times best-seller. (c) 2014 Amy Goodman Distributed by King Features Syndicate

San Francisco bars banned patrons from wearing Google Glasses HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Colorado is launching a one million dollar TV ad campaigne aimed at targeting drivers high on marijuana. The police say they’re easy to spot. They say a drunk driver will coast through a stop sign in a neighborhood but a stoned driver will stop and wait for it to turn green.

John Travolta told reporters Friday he never heard of Oscar winner Idina Menzel whose name he mangled at the Oscars. He never heard of a huge Broadway musical star from Rent, Wicked, Glee and Disney musicals. So it’s quite possible that John Travolta isn’t gay after all.

The Golf Channel announced it will air a three-part series on the life and legacy of Arnold Palmer in the week of the Masters. The documentary covers Arnie’s life from his childhood to his epic career.

One of the little lies which Protestants tell the world is that we don’t have a pope.

Martin Luther King’s daughter Bernice urged her brothers not to sell their father’s Bible and Nobel Peace Prize. The sons control the estate and have a buyer. It’s so disrespectful of MLK’s legacy the Ku Klux Klan of Georgia just threatened to sue the sons for adversaryabuse.

Washington D.C. was rated the country’s most literate city in a study based on book store sales and newspaper sales Thursday.

Seattle and Minneapolis were second and third. Los Angeles wasn’t eligible because they refused to consider the amount of texts read while driving.

Texas Governor Rick Perry brought down the house speaking to the CPAC Convention in Washington Friday. Great to see him back. During the last presidential campaign, Rick Perry made so many gaffes it was hard to tell if he was running against President Obama or Joe Biden.

President Obama misspelled Respect while paying tribute to Aretha Franklin at a White House concert Thursday. He nervously spelled out R-S-E-P-E-C-T then blushed as the crowd laughed at him. Poland watched it on the news and got the distinct impression that they’re next.

Vladimir Putin was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize Wednesday . The winner will be

announced in October. Everyone’s happy Putin was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for all he’s done, but he’s got some stiff competition from Hologram Hitler and Zombie the Hun. President Obama threatened to seize Russian assets in the U.S. over the Crimea grab. He’d have bi-partisan support. A Russian oligarch owns the Brooklyn Nets, and if there’s one thing Democrats and Republican agree on it’s that Barack Obama was born to be an NBA team owner.

Crimea parliament voted to split away from Ukraine and join Russia Friday as Vladimir Putin looked on. It’s believed to be part of his plan to re-create the Soviet Union. Russians used to have to leap over a Berlin Wall to escape Russia, now they just have to post a provocative photo.

John Kerry declared Friday that in this century you don’t invade another country on a trumpedup pretext. Has he got amnesia?

John Kerry voted for it before he voted against it after Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction turned out to be condoms that glow in the dark.

North Korea’s dictator Kim Jung Un fired four missiles last week that barely made it into the sea just off the east coast of the country. It solves one riddle. At last we know the reason why the chicken crossed the road, it was to get away from Kim Jung Un’s inter-continental missiles.

Don’t let Facebook dictate how you feel

By Kathy Lu KC Star

(MCT) — A friend’s New Year’s greeting arrived in the mail a few weeks ago. He apologized for the delay in the note, but I didn’t mind. I’m a procrasti-card sender myself.

Though I know it’s coming every year, I don’t start thinking about the holiday/ New Year’s card until Dec. 15.

Then it becomes a constant nag — get the right photos, choose a design, write the message that’s beyond perfunctory but below gushing.

Finally, if all goes well, I’m sitting down six weeks later to address the envelopes.

This year, especially because my family just moved halfway across the country from a place where I had lived for nearly two decades, that task evoked a new feeling.

As I addressed the cards, it made me appreciate each of the people on the mailing list.

Though not everyone was a close friend (and some names may eventually fall off the list as new ones are added), seeing and writing their names made me think of our friend-

Marilyn Lee

Ronnie and Crystal Ray of Creston announce the engagement and upcoming marriage of their daughter T’Lee Ray of Creston to Zach Girard, son of Malisa Girard, both of Osceola.

Ray is a 2010 graduate of Creston High School. She is a 2014 graduate of Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Mo., with a major in animal science. She plans to attend Iowa State University for veterinary medicine in the fall of 2014.

Girard is a 2010 graduate of Clarke Community High School. He attends Northwest Missouri State University with a major in sociology. He is currently employed with Union County Sheriff’s office.

The couple are planning a June 14 wedding in Creston.

Abbott, Bissell plan September wedding Greg and Melody Abbott of Creston announce the engagement and upcoming marriage of their daughter Cassie Abbott of Creston to Kaleb Bissell, son of Rick and Jolene Bissell, all of Corning.

Abbott is a 2010 graduate of Creston High School. She graduated from Des Moines Area Community College in 2013 and is currently employed at PCSB Bank in Corning.

Bissell is a 2008 graduate of Corning High School. He graduated from Iowa State University in 2013 and is currently employed at Dalton Ag Products in Lenox.

The couple are planning a Sept. 27 wedding in Villisca.

ship and the shared moments that moved me to add them to the list.

It reminded me of a story I heard on public radio about how Facebook users can be depressed by what they see on the social media service.

In an interview, a 20-something woman said scrolling through her Facebook friends’ updates started to upset her because all she saw were either photos of wonderful trips her friends had taken or the delicious food they had eaten.

Not having as much disposable income herself, the posts just seemed to rub that in. Then the story mentioned studies that showed how people who engaged more on Facebook — by commenting, by liking things — were less likely to feel this way than Facebook voyeurs.

Sending my cards made me think about life before Facebook, when you really had no idea what was happening in distant friends’ lives. You certainly weren’t distressed by what they have eaten or where they have gone.

Actively writing the names and addresses also made me

Dix card shower planned

pay a little extra attention to each recipient, though I haven’t seen some in more than a year. One would even find out about my move via the card (and chide me about it, as he should have, in a letter that arrived weeks later).

Don’t get me wrong. It’s great that I can get real-time updates from my Facebook friends — and chances are I would find out about one of them moving long before getting any card in the mail. But it did take some time for me to put Facebook postings in perspective; though news flows through my feed all day long, I’m the one who controls how much I want to read.

Is there a connection between happiness and engagement?

I don’t know, but I do know this: When I am making a pair of earrings or beading a necklace, my mind cannot wander and I feel peace.

When I am editing, writing or reporting a story, my mind is focused and I feel purpose.

And when I address envelopes to send cards to friends, I feel love.

Money-back guarantee of opinions Dear Readers: A recent column discussed how CHANGE IS HANDED BACK to customers, and the many different ways this can be done.

Wow, this really struck a nerve! A lot of you responded! Here are just a “handful” of comments on the matter: • “I am strongly in favor of receiving my coins first, especially at a drive-thru window.

My suggestion is for the clerk to offer the coins in one hand and the bills in the other.” — Molly in Spearfish, S.D. (Heloise here: This is a perfect solution!)

• “My primary concern is having change counted out while it is being placed either in my hand or on the counter.” — A Frequent Reader, via email • “Coins first and then paper money. That way, the change is safely in your palm, and you can grasp the paper money in your fingers.” — Helen M., Colorado Springs, Colo.

• “I understand the frustration of getting your money back all in one lump. Unfortunately, most of these cashiers are being timed on how quickly they help customers.” — A Reader, via email (Heloise here: I’m not sure if this is the case. Yes, they want to speed up the line, but they also want

Hints from Heloise to make their customers happy.)

Any cashiers out there who can tell us from your point of view? Please chime in on this “touchy” (pun intended) subject. — Heloise EASY REACH Dear Heloise: Instead of lugging out the stepladder to reach cords on the ceiling fan, here is my hint: I use a long salad or food tong, the kind with the little teeth at the end, to grip the chain. — Betty D. in Texas Smart! Also, you can “extend” the chain with a little metal chain that attaches to the other one. Or add a long pull to the chain. — Heloise BROKEN GLASS Dear Heloise: Disposing of broken glass safely is always a problem. After breaking a glass this morning, I grabbed a plastic, gallon milk jug from the recycle bin and cut a large hole in the top, leaving the handle intact. It was easy to put the broken pieces in the jug and then fill the rest of it

with the wet paper towels I had used.

I felt comfortable that this method protected us as we readied the trash for pickup, and at the same time protected the trash-pickup people. — Marilyn G. in Arkansas A good reminder and a classic Heloise hint! Always wrap broken glass in something (like a small bag or newspaper) to protect anyone who comes in contact with the garbage. — Heloise NO MESS Dear Heloise: With several long, tube bird feeders, it can get a bit messy when filling them from a newly opened, 40-pound bag of seed. I realized that if I kept the last bag I emptied, I could place the feeder down inside it.

Peverley collapses DALLAS — Once Rich Peverley collapsed on the Dallas bench, neither the Stars nor the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets felt up to finishing the game.

With the Blue Jackets leading 1-0 early in the first period on Monday night, play was quickly halted when Peverley had a heart problem while on the bench.

Play was halted 6:23 in as Peverley was quickly carried down the tunnel. A public address announcement was made several minutes later that the 31-year-old Peverley was conscious and taken to a hospital.

A hush fell over the crowd during the lengthy delay between the time play was stopped and when the game was called off.

There was no immediate announcement of when the game would be made up.

Peverley missed the preseason and the season opener because of a procedure to correct an irregular heartbeat, a condition diagnosed during a training camp physical.

He made his Stars debut on Oct. 5 against Washington.

The 7-foot Cameroon native went to Los Angeles for a second opinion on his ailing back on Monday. Jayhawks coach Bill Self told ESPN.com earlier in the day he was confident that Embiid would play in the NCAA tourney, and thought there was a chance he could play in the Big 12 tournament.

However, after Embiid met with a spinal specialist, the initial stress fracture prognosis was confirmed and he was ruled out of the Big 12 tourney and is unlikely to play the first weekend of the NCAA tournament.

Embiid won Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honors and is considered the leading candidate to be selected No. 1 in the June NBA Draft — if he elects to leave school after this season. He averaged 11.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game this season.

Murray’s Patton becomes two-time all-stater

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

Kate Patton became only the second two-time all-state girls basketball player at Murray High School this week.

The 5-foot-5 senior guard was named to the Iowa Newspaper Association second allstate team today as a utility player, after making the thirdteam backcourt last year as a junior. The team is selected by a panel of Iowa sportswriters, with assistance from the Iowa Basketball Coaches Association.

This year Patton broke the career and single-season scoring records held by the only other two-time Murray all-stater — Kristin (Shields) Flaherty, who held the previous record of 1,248 points set in 2007.

Patton set the single-season mark of 429 points while averaging 18.7 for the 20-3 Lady Mustangs.

Her career record to- Patton tal is 1,340 points.

She also holds the school career steals record of 464 and ranked third in the state this year in that category with 139.

She averaged 6.0 steals and 4.3 assists per game.

Nobody in Murray history has made more free throws in one season than Patton’s 130 this year. She shot 65.7 percent from the line this year and 41.8 percent from the field, hitting 15-of-46 from 3-point range for 32.6 percent.

Patton also ranks third at Murray in career assists.

“I might be a little biased, but I think Kate is the best all-around player in the Bluegrass Conference,” coach Jerry Shields said. “She’s one of the best kids I’ve ever had for seeing the floor. She’s small, but so strong, she could throw

a two-hand chest pass to the other end of the floor if she saw somebody open for a layup. She’s a good leader and great in academics, too. It will be tough to replace her.”

Patton used her all-around athletic skills to create problems for opponents defensively, and as a floor leader on offense. While also a standout softball and volleyball player, she’s among the state’s elite in track and field.

Patton was runner-up in the Class 1A 100-meter dash last spring, and also placed in the top eight in three other events — 200 meters, 400 meters and long jump. She was third in the 200 meters, and plans to be a sprinter at Central College next year.

Patton was all-conference four years at Murray, leading the Lady Mustangs to a 53-17 record the past three seasons.

She has been named to the Class 1A Select Team for the Iowa Girls Coaches Association All-Star Series April 5-6 in Cedar Rapids.

Patton, (Shields) Flaherty and Shawna (Boles) Kelley are the only three 1,000-point scorers in Murray history. Patton scored 30 points in a 63-59 win over Ankeny Christian for the team’s first Bluegrass Conference tournament title since 2007. She had 22 points and 10 steals in a 66-27 win over Lenox Dec. 19 to reach the 1,000-point mark.

Teammate Megan Oswald and guards Madison Laib of Ankeny Christian Academy and Brittany Roby of Twin Cedars were other all-state candidates from the Bluegrass Conference.

Oswald, a 5-11 senior, averaged 11.2 points and a teamhigh 8.7 rebounds per game for the Lady Mustangs. She was first-team all-conference.

Laib, a 5-7 senior, averaged 21.4 points for an 18-5 Ankeny Christian team. Roby averaged 20.2 points for Twin Cedars, which finished 9-13.

Patton was named to the INA’s all-state second team today.

southwest Iowa basketball fans. Stanton senior Carmen Subbert, already a volleyball all-stater, joins Patton on the basketball second team as a front court player. The 5-8 leaper averaged 20.1 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3 steals for the Viqueens, who lost to Bedford in the regional finals.

London Vais, leader of Adair-Casey’s state tournament team that lost to champion Burlington Notre Dame in the quarterfinals, is on the first team front court. The 5-10 senior averaged 20.3 points and 10.0 rebounds.

Fremont-Mills guard Macy Williams is on the secondteam backcourt after averaging 18.5 points with 139 steals this season. F-M was defeated

by Stanton in regional play.

Newell-Fonda, back-toback state runner-up, has two first-teamers in senior post player Claudia Larsen and

guard Renee Maneman, who both plan to play at Northwestern College.

Bedford’s balanced statetournament team did not have any all-staters this year, but the sophomore-dominated squad showed promise for the future by knocking off Murray and Stanton to reach the 1A quarterfinals, where they lost 73-37 to runner-up Newell-Fonda.

Top candidate for all-state honors from the Lady Bulldogs squad was guard Fallyn Beemer. The 5-6 sophomore averaged 15.2 points with 100 steals and 49 assists while finishing among the state 3-point leaders at 67-of-242.

Senior post player Madison Walston and guard Emily Weed were other candidates after earning all-conference honors in the Pride of Iowa.

Conaway scored a new single-game tournament record with 46 points in the semifinals for a win over Mediapolis. For the season she averaged 21.7 points, 8.4 rebounds per game with 111 assists, 120 steals and 71 blocked shots.

Conaway has signed on with the Iowa State University volleyball team where she will be continuing her education this fall.

Bonds back SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

— Barry Bonds put on a San Francisco Giants uniform Monday morning for the first time since his final major league game as a player in 2007. He is noticeably slimmer than in his final seasons as a player — shedding considerable weight since becoming an avid cyclist — so the uniform is probably a somewhat smaller size than he previously wore, but he was delighted to wear it again.

At 49, Bonds says he could still hit balls out of the park, but the game’s controversial home run king is not here to do that.

He is here to work for the next seven days as a roving instructor for the Giants.
