Meals from the Heartland scheduled, goal increased

By BAILEY POOLMAN

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Volunteers who put together meals during Meals from the Heartland event at Southwestern Community College in 2014 beat the goal of 60,000. This year, Beth Kulow, SWCC dean of students, said the goal has been increased to 70,000.

“It’s a mobile hunger fight, and it Kulow provides opportunities to groups and different organizations to fight hunger in Iowa and all over the world,” Kulow said. “We’re actually needing more volunteers than in the past.”

Pay It Forward week is scheduled for April 2024 this year, and Meals from the Heartland will be 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the SWCC gym April 23 for its third year being hosted by the college.

Last year, volunteers packaged 60,264 meals, some of which went to MATURA in Creston for local families in need.

Meals from the Heartland will be 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the SWCC gym April 23 for its third year being hosted by the college.

Groups, businesses and organizations can sign up as a team for the event.

“They need to be in a team of eight to 10, and they’re going to package for an hour,” Kulow said.

“During that time, the team will average about 2,000 meals.”

Teams will be accepted until all time slots are full, at which time addi-

tional volunteers will be brought in for other jobs.

Currently, there is space open during all time slots.

Teams are asked to raise money to pay for the packaging and shipping of the meals. The cost to package and ship 2,000 meals is approximately $400.

To sign up a team or for more information, contact Kulow at 641-782-1413.

Tentative schedule for Pay It Forward week: Week-long food drive, sponsored by Phi Theta Kappa honor society.

Boxes will be located all over campus Monday through Friday. Food will be donated to local food pantry.

Christie building campaign while sticking close to home NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s team is pushing back against the impression that he’s struggling in his expected presidential bid.

Lest there be any doubt his presidential prospects are alive, Christie’s supporters announced new

hires and donors Thursday, as well as the launch of a super PAC that can raise unlimited money for his presidential ambitions.

But the Republican governor nonetheless appears to be taking a different tack than his likely rivals when it comes to how he’s spending his time. Facing

a lagging economy in the state and record-low approval ratings, he’s staying close to home as other potential candidates attend highly publicized events with party officials and activists in early voting states.

That’s raising questions, if not frustration,

for some people open to supporting him.

“What people keep asking me is when is he coming back? What’s the next step?” said Leighton Lord, a South Carolina attorney who went Please see CHRISTIE, Page 2

Arraignment scheduled for April in Huntsman case An arraignment for Lyndsay Jo Huntsman, 44, of Creston is scheduled for April 3.

An arraignment is a formal reading of charges to the defendant. Huntsman is then expected to submit a plea of guilty or not guilty.

Huntsman was charged with ongoing criminal conduct and five counts of first-degree theft after she turned herself in to Union County law enforcement Jan. 26.

These charges against

Huntsman stem from a fourm o n t h investigation by Creston Police Department Huntsman and Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation, which showed Huntsman misappropriated more than $500,000 from business accounts for Creston Automotive, 410 W. Adams St.

House OKs bill requiring ultrasound before an abortion DES MOINES (AP) — A bill that would require a woman in Iowa to have an ultrasound and be offered an image and description of it before she has an abortion advanced in the House on Thursday after several hours of debate, though it’s unlikely the legislation will advance in the Senate.

The House voted 57-39 along mostly party lines in support of the bill, which would require a physician to perform an ultrasound or

face fines.

It’s doubtful the Democratic-controlled Senate will advance the legislation, but the issue generated a lengthy debate in the Republican-led House, which included several procedural breaks. There was strong opposition from Democrats, who introduced dozens of proposed changes to the legislation.

One proposed change would have exempted the requirement in cases of a medical emergency or if the pregnancy was the result of sexual abuse or incest. At least one amendment, aimed at making a point, would have required certain procedures for a man undergoing a vasectomy.

“This bill sets dangerous precedence by interfering with doctor-patient relationships, by not trusting a woman to make decisions about her own health care, and to begin the process of codifying standards of care in medical procedures,” said Rep. Beth Wessel-Kroeschell, D-Ames.

“Lawmakers are not qualified to act as physicians.”

Rep. Joel Fry, R-Osceola, who managed the bill on the floor, disagreed with that assessment. He also ear- Fry lier received approval to change the bill’s description of fetus to “unborn child.”

In 1930, the family moved to the Greenfield area, and in 1933, Esther graduated from Greenfield High School.

Esther moved to Arizona in 1950 and married Cecil Drake on Jan. 20, 1958, in Tempe, Ariz. While living in Arizona, Esther was a clerical worker for a utility company.

After Cecil’s death, she returned to Iowa in 1986, where she lived in Creston and later in Winterset.

Esther had been a member of the Grace Baptist Church since living in Winterset.

Sleeping on memories Dear Heloise: My daughter saved my grandson’s T-SHIRTS from the sports teams he belonged to. When I had enough, I cut a big square out of the front and back, and sewed them together to make a pillow. Depending on the size of the shirt, and how many you have, you can make a floor, couch or bed pillow.

I stuffed each with batting and used a huge needle and yarn to tie it together at each corner to keep the batting from shifting.

He packed it with him on sleep-overs and plane trips.

By the time it wore out, we had another collection of old T-shirts for another pillow!

— Sharon L., via email Love it! Made with love, and a keepsake. — Heloise TUB TOYS Dear Heloise: My 4-yearold son loves to have a bunch of toys with him in the bathtub. Leaving them in the tub can cause them to mildew or get in the way. I bought a small, plastic basket and placed a folded-up towel in the bottom. At the end of his bath, he places his toys in there. Problem solved. I just wash the towel whenever needed. — M’s Mom in Texas

Hints from Heloise CLEANER QUESTION Dear Heloise: I have made several of your cleaners.

What is the approximate time frame these cleaners will remain effective before I need to dispose of the cleaner and remake it? — Pat N., via email Good question, Pat! The key hint is to make up enough to use in a reasonable amount of time — say, a week, maybe? Most are made with basic ingredients, such as baking soda, salt, rubbing alcohol and vinegar. These don’t really go bad. However, hydrogen peroxide and household chlorine bleach are heat- and light-sensitive, so they will “go downhill” over time.

Therefore, make up only one spray bottle at a time.

LABEL THE BOTTLE WITH THE INGREDIENTS. Vinegar has an indefinite shelf life, so no worry there.

The same for baking soda when used as a cleaner, but

not for baking.

If the solution has changed color, separated, smells different, etc., don’t use it. It’s only pennies per 16 ounces. When in doubt, throw it out! Depending how often you use it, a new batch every week or two is reasonable.

Want to have handy all of my money-saving cleaner recipes? Just send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/ Cleaners, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001 for these green solutions.

Horoscope Saturday, March 14, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) In some ways, you are best served by working alone or behind the scenes now. This means research and study will go well for you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Talk to others about your hopes and dreams for the future; their feedback will help you. This can be a popular time for you, so be friendly!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) About once a year, for several weeks, you look unusually good to others, especially people in authority. This is that time. Therefore, use this to your advantage. Go after what you want.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Travel anywhere if you can, because you want adventure and a chance to learn something new. Do whatever you can to expand your horizons.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It’s totally appropriate now to focus on shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances and insurance matters. Do yourself a favor, and clear up loose ends in these areas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Remember that you need more sleep now, because the Sun is opposite your sign and the Sun is your source of energy. Take naps. Get to bed earlier.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Act on your urge to get better organized. Give yourself the right tools to do a good job, whether it is cleaning tools, painting supplies, closet organizers, file folders, labels — you name it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a playful, creative time for you. It’s also a good time to get away on a vacation.

The main thing is to look for opportunities to freely express your talents.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Without a doubt, home, family and your domestic world are your primary focus right now. Give attention to your personal life — especially, perhaps, to a parent.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The pace of your days is accelerating, with short trips, errands, increased reading and writing, and conversations with everyone. Just keep up this busy pace!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Earnings, cash flow and your assets in general are your

focus right now. Who is in charge? Do you own your stuff, or does it own you?

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Continue to look for ways to re-energize yourself for the rest of the year, because the Sun is in your sign now. This good fortune also attracts important people and favorable circumstances to you.

YOU BORN TODAY People like you because you are affectionate. You have a bright, fast

mind, and you see connections that others often miss.

Nevertheless, this year, go slowly because you will learn something important. 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.

HEALTH

More than just annoying: The link between snoring and heart disease (BPT) — Snoring isn’t pleasant for anyone - not the partner who has to sleep beside the snorer, nor the snorer whose breathing may pause repeatedly throughout the night. But did you know that loud, excessive snoring is often a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, a condition that - if left untreated - can cause you to be five times more likely to die from heart disease?

Along with good nutrition and regular exercise, healthy sleep is essential for a healthy heart. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S, so treating sleep apnea is good for your sleep and your heart.

According to the National Healthy Sleep Awareness Project, obstructive sleep apnea is a chronic disease that afflicts at least 25 million U.S. adults.

“Obstructive sleep apnea is destroying the health of millions of Americans, and the problem has only gotten worse over the last two decades,” says Dr. Timothy Morgenthaler, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and a national spokesperson for the Healthy Sleep Project. The

project is a collaboration between the AASM, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Sleep Research Society and other partners.

Sleep apnea involves repetitive pauses in breathing during sleep, which can put an enormous strain on the heart. Severe sleep apnea can reduce the amount of oxygen in your blood and cause dangerous surges in your blood pressure. This stress triggers your body to respond in ways that may promote heart disease.

Sleep apnea may be far more common than you think. Between 30 percent and 40 percent of adults with high blood pressure also have sleep apnea. The rate of sleep apnea soars to 80 percent among people with high blood pressure that do not respond to treatment with medications. Research even shows that sleep apnea can affect the shape, size and performance of your heart.

“The good news is that detecting and treating sleep apnea can improve your heart health and other clinical outcomes,” Morgenthaler says.

The primary treatment

for obstructive sleep apnea is continuous positive airway pressure therapy.

CPAP therapy keeps your airway open by providing a stream of air through a mask that you wear during sleep.

Treating sleep apnea with CPAP therapy improves blood pressure control and

reduces the risk of heart disease. It can even reverse the changes to the shape and size of the heart that can be caused by sleep apnea.

Excess body weight is the leading risk factor for sleep apnea, and loud snoring is a common symptom. Other warning signs for sleep ap-

nea include choking or gasping during sleep, and daytime fatigue or sleepiness.

Visit stopsnoringpledge. org to pledge to “Stop the Snore” by talking to a doctor about your risk for sleep apnea.

“Treatment of sleep apnea can be life-changing

and potentially life-saving,” Morgenthaler says. “For the best possible clinical outcomes, people with heart disease should discuss their risk for sleep apnea with their doctor.”

Teaching your kids the ABC and D’s!

When the Northern Lights dance across the Arctic sky in Finland each winter, some say it makes up for the 18 hours of darkness during extra-long nights. But that psychedelic lightshow doesn’t change the fact that kids there often are deprived of exposure to vitamin-D-producing sunlight. So researchers from Turku, Finland, thought they’d see what the health repercussions were for vitamin D-deprived kids 3-18 years old by the time they turned 30-45. Turns out, those with the lowest vitamin D levels when they were young had the most plaque-clogged carotid arteries as middle-age adults.

That amps up the risk of stroke.

What does this mean for North Americans (same hemisphere), where 75 percent of teens and adults are D-ficient? Well, parents should think about their kids’ vitamin D levels, because how youngsters live today determines the quality and quantity of their lives tomorrow. And when it comes to taking supplements, don’t be wimpy! According to the National Institutes of Health, the safe upper limit for vitamin D is 1,000 to 1,500 IU per day for infants; 2,500 to 3,000 IU per day for children 1-8; and 4,000 IU per day for children 9 and older.

So get a blood test to check if your child is deficient (and to track the effect of taking a supplement): The National Institute of Medicine says infants and children shouldn’t go below 11 ng/mL. We personally aim for levels around 35.

Above 35, even up to 50-80, is better than below. Talk to

Weekly health tips Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. and Dr. Michael Roizen, M.D.

CHRONIC FATIGUE: A NEW NAME AND DIAGNOSTICS Sleeping Beauty slept for 100 years until she was awakened by the kiss of a prince. Although it took a long time for her to find relief, at least her profound tiredness was cured. That’s something up to 2.5 million folks with chronic fatigue syndrome can only hope for.

This mysterious malady only recently has been acknowledged as a legitimate disease. Now researchers are trying to find ways to more accurately name and diagnose it. Just a couple of weeks ago, the Institute of Medicine released a report suggesting that in place of CFS (or its alternative name, myalgic encephalomyelitis), the condition be called Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease, or SEID. And they proposed new criteria for diagnosing the condition: —For at least six months, you haven’t been able to engage in pre-illness levels of activity, and you suffer newly occurring, often severe fatigue that’s not the result of intense exertion.

—Your symptoms get worse with physical, mental or emotional exertion.

—Sleep or rest does not make you feel refreshed.

—You have one of these two symptoms: cognitive impairment or trouble

standing up, and you feel better after you lie down.

Now if researchers could discover what triggers SEID, they might find a cure. Until then, your best bet is to combine counseling to help you cope with the condition with stress-reduction techniques such as meditation or massage, and perhaps antidepressants.

And stay tuned for continuing news about progress in determining the cause and where that prince is hiding.

BETTER SAFE ... AND NO REASON TO BE SORRY In the 2005 movie “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) tries to overcome his loveless isolation with a series of disastrous dalliances. And while it’s hard to understand why this sweet nerd has been such a failure at the dating game, we’re pretty sure Andy wasn’t living in fear of contracting HPV (human papilloma virus).

Fear of disease rarely prevents anyone, young or old, from having sex. If it did, there wouldn’t be 19 million new cases of sexually transmitted infections reported annually (half being among minors). But opponents of the HPV vaccine have argued that protecting young girls and boys from cervical, throat and anal cancer associated with HPV would open the door to inappropriate sexual behavior. Now research shows that that fear is unfounded.

A study published in

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association tracked around 200,000 female adolescents for five years. It found that the relative incidence of STIs, such as chlamydia, herpes, gonorrhea or syphilis, which are a good marker for unsafe sexual activity, didn’t increase among vaccinated teens compared with those who were not vaccinated.

Parents, be thankful there’s an effective anti-cancer vaccine available for your children. Think about it: You can prevent them from getting cancer!

So have them vaccinated before there’s any risk of exposure to HPV: Boys and girls ages 11-12 are candidates for the three-dose series. Women (not previously HPV-vaccinated) up to age 26 and young men up to age 21 also can receive the vaccine; men who are gay, bisexual or HIV-positive are eligible to age 26.

ANTIBIOTICS IN THE FOOD CHAIN Treating viruses with antibiotics is like putting a screen door on a submarine.

It’s ineffective and can cause lots of problems when a battle begins. But, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that hasn’t stopped doctors from writing tens of millions of prescriptions for antibiotics annually to “treat” viral illnesses against which they have absolutely no effect.

That misuse contributes to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

And it unnecessarily exposes you to problems associated with taking antibiotics: They deplete good intestinal bacteria while KOing bad ones, which means you end up losing bugs you need

for a healthy digestive tract and immune system. (We suggest taking a spore-form probiotic when you take an antibiotic.) And according to a new lab-based study, antibiotics may turn epithelial cells lining your intestine into a screen door. Ideally, those cells help transmit liquid and nutrients into the bloodstream while maintaining a disease-preventing barrier between your internal organs and potentially harmful bacteria in your gut. Apparently, antibiotics damage that barrier.

But the effort to reduce the misuse of antibiotics shouldn’t be directed only at doctors and patients. About 80 percent of antibiotics sold in the U.S. are used in meat and poultry production, and enter your system that way. So let’s lobby for changes in food production.

And if you eat meat, poultry, milk and eggs, make sure they’re antibiotic-free.

Or better yet, eliminate red meat, eggs and whole dairy from your diet, and double up on fruits, veggies and 100 percent whole grains.

Save the antibiotics for their life-saving role.

CURB YOUR APPETITE WITH AN APPETITE FOR LOVE When the Kinks crooned “Do It Again,” they were bemoaning the endless repetition of conventional life. Little did they know that doing IT again and again — you might call it a pleasurable do-over! — is so good for body and soul.

That’s because physical and emotional acts that create a sense of closeness stimulate the release of a powerful hormone called oxytocin.

That bathes your body in calm and contentment.

You can stimulate that sensation by having sex and orgasm, as well as feeling close to and talking to someone (oxytocin is the bonding hormone), hugging and kissing, even saying hello or goodbye. Breastfeeding also stimulates its release.

And here’s an interesting bonus benefit: Oxytocin is a weight-loss booster! Seems that while the hormone is making you think, “Hey let’s do THAT again,” it’s also putting the brakes on your food cravings. That’s right, having (safe, healthy, monogamous) sex and sharing moments of enjoyment with friends could help you control food cravings and reduce your food intake.

Here’s how that works.

Oxytocin helps modulate two neuropeptides (they act like neurotransmitters) called CCK and NPY that shuttle hunger and appetite impulses along the neural highway between your brain and your gut. Oxytocin puts a yellow caution flag on the track, and suddenly you’re less hungry. At the same time, the love hormone throws a damper on the stress hormone cortisol, a known trigger for impulse eating. So, if you’re looking for a truly enjoyable way to lose weight, release some oxytocin today! *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

New look Spartans seek rise in league Westphal back to anchor mound staff

NATIONAL DIGEST

Buzzer-beater KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Monte Morris headed to the corner in front of Iowa State’s bench as the final few seconds ticked off the clock, and in a fluid motion rose up over the Longhorns’ Demarcus Holland, letting his shot leave his fingertips as the final buzzer sounded.

“I was just praying and hoping it would go in,” Morris said later.

Consider the prayer answered.

The 18-foot jumper capped a dramatic 12-0 closing run, giving the No. 13 Cyclones a 69-67 victory over the Longhorns in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament Thursday night.

“What an unbelievable game,” said Cyclones coach Fred Hoiberg, who could merely grin as he shook hands with Texas counterpart Rick Barnes, his team in a jubilant pile on the floor.

The defending tournament champion Cyclones will face the No. 15 Oklahoma, which rallied to beat Oklahoma State 6449, in the semifinals Friday night.

Hawks fall CHICAGO (AP) — D.J. Newbill and Penn State are used to playing tight Big Ten games, and all that experience is paying off right now.

Newbill scored 18 points, and the Nittany Lions shut down Iowa in the second half of a 67-58 victory on Thursday in the conference tournament.

“We’ve been in too many games coming down to one possession, one stop, one rebound,” Newbill said. “We’ve learned from that. I think we’re a different team than we are now. We’re looking for a dogfight.”

Ten of Penn State’s 14 Big Ten losses this season were by nine points or less, including an 84-77 overtime thriller against Purdue on Jan. 17. Next up for the Nittany Lions (18-15) is a rematch with the Boilermakers in the quarterfinals.

Already, early in the 2015 season, first-year coach Pedro Hernandez seems to have the Southwestern baseball program on the rise.

The Spartans opened the season with two weekend road trips to Oklahoma to take on nationally-ranked Northern Oklahoma and Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. They came back from that stiff competition with a 3-5 record heading into this weekend’s trip to defending Division I national champion Iowa Western.

The Spartans are already halfway to the number of victories obtained in an injury-riddled 2014 campaign in Brian “Bull” Smith’s last year at the helm.

Hernandez said it won’t be an overnight transformation, but certainly he and assistants Kenny Namanny and Steve Westphal are looking to improve on the 6-35 mark, and 3-25 as the eighth-place ICCAC Division II team from a year ago.

“The guys know our number one expectation is in the classroom,” said Hernandez, a former player at Indian Hills and Iowa Wesleyan, who coached the past two seasons as an assistant at Ellsworth Community Col-

lege. “On the field, the team knows we finished last in the regular season last year, and we’re not going to finish last this year. That is on our mind. We are not saying where we are going to finish, but we’re saying we are not finishing last. Then when we get there, we will see what we can do in the (regional) tournament.”

The Spartans have two local players on the roster,

one a returnee who has battled several injury problems in the past.

Pitcher Ethan Westphal, who led state title runs for both Lenox and Martensdale-St. Marys as a prep, had Westphal redshirt

and medical redshirt seasons for two years while undergoing back surgery and Tommy John elbow surgery.

He pitched and played infield for the Spartans last year, and then attended Concordia College in Nebraska the first semester this school year. At semester, he transferred back to SWCC after a ruling that he was still eligible for a second year at the junior college level.

“Because he was graduating, we thought he couldn’t play here,” Hernandez said.

“But NJCAA rules say it doesn’t matter, because he hasn’t used his eligibility.

Just like in the NCAA now, you see some guys graduate and start their master’s program, and they’re still playing. It’s the same concept.

What crosses the line in student section chants?

Parents that don’t let their kids accept responsibility for their decisions will be responsible for their kids a long time.

That was a statement made on social media Thursday by Steve Keating CSE (@LeadToday on Twitter).

Keating is involved in motivational speaking and development of sales professionals.

Another comment he made was, “No one is so important that they shouldn’t be kind to others.”

Those remarks come to mind as I reflect on an experience Tuesday at the Boys State Basketball Tournament.

A colleague from Cedar Rapids and I both felt the wrath of parents “sticking up” for their kids after making simple observations of what we saw before us, as sports reporters for news organizations, paid to have opinions in our commentary columns. It’s our job.

My Cedar Rapids colleague noticed Xavier, with a comfortable lead early, started to see that lead slip against a really good Pella team.

“Xavier needs to correct its body language after so many of these (foul) calls, because they’re starting to let it affect their play,” he stated

Straight shots Larry Peterson sports writer

on Twitter.

Oh, boy. You would have thought he’d personally attacked the ancestry of each starter. An avalanche of tweets descended on him.

“You never liked Xavier,” one said. “You shouldn’t be allowed to cover Xavier, you’re always criticizing them,” said another. Many others carried the same tone.

However, someone directly associated with the team sent a direct message to the writer saying, “You were spot on with your tweet. But, I can’t ‘favorite’ it, obviously.”

So, people who truly know the game understood.

I, meanwhile, put a message on Twitter than in my opinion, Glenwood may have ensured not getting the 3A Sportsmanship Award with chants of “WHO CARES!” at the introduction of each Williamsburg player.

Just like my colleague, it wasn’t long before the backlash tweets

were fired.

“What does @larrypeterson have against Glenwood?” one Glenwood mom wrote.

Another said, “Maybe if you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all?”

Another, “Maybe a 50ish adult should leave kids alone?”

The kids themselves scoffed at my position.

“It’s part of the game,” said one.

“It’s just banter. Everyone does it. Don’t get all bent out of shape about it.”

OK, fine. I understand student sections will exchange chants such as “You can’t do that!” and “You got swatted!”

Pretty harmless stuff. I get it.

But, I felt the “Who Cares!” chant during some kids’ first-ever introduction in a state tournament game crossed the line into rude behavior. It’s an offshoot of the old hide your face behind a newspaper, back when newspapers were more readily available, right?

The truth hurts a little bit, I gather. People don’t like being called out for behavior anymore. And there are more sensitive people out there now regarding their own kids,

whereas in the past they might join in with the adult calling for respectful behavior. Teachers have long told me about this shift in attitude.

My standard for sportsmanship is the late Curt Olson, who as athletic director was as happy about Creston getting the Class 3A Sportsmanship Award in 1997 as he was about the basketball team winning the state title.

If our student section had yelled “Who cares!” during introductions at state, I’ll guarantee he’d be limping over there as fast as he could to bellow, “Knock it off!”

I can’t see the likes of current athletic director Jeff Bevins or Nodaway Valley AD David Huff going for it either.

Glenwood wasn’t the only student section that’s done that chant at state. But there are many who don’t. I always liked the Creston quick “two clap” greeting for opposing players.

The tweets directed at me had a tone of “educating” me that this was normal, like I needed to be informed as an old man out of touch.

Well, yes, I’m a geezer. This is my 35th state tournament as a working journalist, and I regularly vote

for the All-Tournament team and Sportsmanship Award.

My comment was not meant to be malicious toward an enthusiastic student section, nor a school that, by the way, had the best pep band there. And, a classy coach in Curt Schulte.

Instead, it was actually done to educate them about what works, and doesn’t work, in getting the Sportsmanship Award, from the perspective of a longtime voter.

For the most part, they didn’t want to hear it. But, I’m guessing coach Schulte and the Ram players who also got to experience introductions from that town for the first time in 63 years, also understood my position.

Just like the Xavier message to my colleague. Unfortunately, those are the people who have to lay low in today’s society, because they don’t want to deal with the same public onslaught.

Let the sportswriters be whipping boys. We’re used to it. It goes with the territory.

It’s official: All-Pro DeMarco Murray to join Eagles

By ROB MAADDI

AP Pro Football Writer

DeMarco Murray got the money and opportunity he wanted from his former team’s biggest rival.

The All-Pro running back agreed Thursday to a fiveyear contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. Murray’s deal was valued at $42 million, with $21 million guaranteed, according to a person familiar with the deal who spoke on condition of anonymity because terms weren’t disclosed.

“It wasn’t about financial security,” Murray said, explaining his decision to leave the Dallas Cowboys. “I felt this was a great opportunity for us to win a Super Bowl.

Obviously, you want something that you deserve and that’s respectful. I felt that those two things were important to me and I was able to accomplish that here.”

Wearing a gray suit, white shirt and black tie, Murray arrived at team headquarters with his fiancee, Heidi Mueller, on Thursday afternoon.

Less than two hours later, the Eagles confirmed they had reached agreement on a three-year contract with former San Diego running back Ryan Mathews.

The tandem joins Darren Sproles and Chris Polk in a crowded backfield.

“I don’t think we extended ourselves financially,” Eagles coach Chip Kelly said.

“You’ve got to run the foot-

ball in this league. That’s what we believe in. That’s what I’ve always believed in.”

Murray helped the Cowboys win the NFC East title last season while rushing for a franchise-record 1,845 yards.

He broke the Dallas record held by NFL career rushing leader Emmitt Smith and also set a league mark with eight straight 100-yard games to start the season.

“We have great appreciation for his skills, and if there was no salary cap in place, DeMarco would be a Cowboy,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement.

“This came down to an allocation of dollars within the management of the salary cap.”

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was asked about Murray at the Texas Rangers’ camp.

“It was tough on him over the last 48 hours,” Romo said.

“Anytime you have a close friend that moves teams, it’s never easy, especially when he’s going in the division. It’s part of playing in the National Football League. Our team, we love him and he’s been great for us. He’s meant a lot.”

Cowboys star receiver Dez Bryant tweeted: “@DeMarcoMurray I wish you would have stayed but I understand your decision... Congrats bro you deserve it -” Murray will replace twotime All-Pro LeSean McCoy, the NFL’s rushing leader in

2013. Kelly traded McCoy to Buffalo last week in a flurry of stunning moves.

The Eagles swapped quarterbacks with St. Louis on Tuesday, sending Nick Foles to the Rams for Sam Bradford. They also let Pro Bowl wide receiver Jeremy Maclin sign a free-agent deal with Kansas City.

Big 12 ADs favor head-to-head football tiebreaker AP

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — It is too late to help Baylor, but the Big 12 athletic directors want one true champion to be more than just a slogan next season.

The conference ADs said Thursday they are in favor of using a head-tohead tiebreaker to determine their College Football Playoff participant after co-champions TCU and Baylor were skipped over by the selection committee last season.

The athletic directors met at a hotel near the Sprint Center, the site of this week’s conference basketball tournament.

While no official vote was taken, the consensus was support for using head-tohead results to determine

who makes the four-team field.

TCU and Baylor both went 8-1 in the league last season, but the Bears beat the Horned Frogs in October. Rather than choose one of them, the Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby crowned them co-champions, which didn’t sit well with Baylor coach Art Briles.

It also wasn’t a good look for a conference that could not have been more proud — and loud — about touting its “One True Champion” before the season.

The Big 12, with 10 teams, is the only FBS conference that plays a full round-robin schedule.

But in reality the Big 12 wanted to hedge its bets when it came to the College Football Playoff selection process. Not want-

ing to diminish either team tied for at the top, it treated both as equals and let the committee sort it out.

The selection guidelines call for the committee to emphasize conference championships.

How much not crowning a true champion hurt the Big 12 when it came time for the selection committee to pick a final four was hard to quantify. Being the only Big Five conference without a league championship game seemed to be even more problematic. Especially when Ohio State romped into the last playoff spot with a 59-0 Big Ten championship game victory against Wisconsin.

That same day TCU pounded lowly Iowa State and Baylor beat Kansas State at home to end their regular seasons 11-1.

SWCC: Continued from page 7A

So, at semester we found it out and he wanted to transfer back in. We needed an arm, so it fit perfect.”

Westphal has been on the mound for two of the team’s wins already. As one of the four primary starters, he is 1-0 with a 3.09 earned run average in 11 innings, with 10 strikeouts and four walks while allowing 14 hits against two solid hitting ballclubs.

Westphal has had a successful rebound from the Tommy John surgery, showing the highest velocity on the team up to 91 mph on his fastball, and setting consistently in the high 80s.

Yet, just like his high school days, that’s just a small part of his arsenal.

“The good thing for Ethan is that he has command of all of his secondary pitches — slider, curveball and changeup — and he can throw them from different angles, which makes him harder to hit,” Hernandez said.

The other local player is freshman outfielder Trevor Luther of Creston, who had signed to play at Midland Lutheran and spent the first Luther semester at the Nebraska school.

“He contacted us that he wants to study agriculture, and they didn’t offer the program there,” Hernandez said. “Also, the coach who recruited him got a new job in Michigan, so he thought it would be better for him to be closer to home right now.”

Luther is sharing left field with freshman Brett Carstens of Coon Rapids-Bayard.

“Carstens is not only a good hitter, but has a lot of speed and has a good arm, throwing 81 mph from the outfield,” Hernandez said.

“Trevor has a good arm, too. If he starts hitting, he has opportunities. We know he’s a good hitter, he just has to get going a little bit.”

Hernandez was recruited to Indian Hills as a player out of Puerto Rico, and has

gone home to land eight recruits on this year’s roster, making up about half of the starting lineup. They arrive with a lot of seasoning for their age.

“Actually, the high school season here is longer in number of games, but in a shorter period of time,” Hernandez said. “They only play on weekends. But, they get to be outside 12 months a year, so they’re able to get more reps.”

Freshman Misael Lebron of Puerto Rico and sophomore Rafael Eigenmann, transfer from Coppin State, are handling the catching duties.

Lebron is the team Lebron leader in RBIs to date, hitting in the cleanup position.

Right fielder Erich Gonzalez, second baseman Bradley Lopez of Puerto Rico and third baseman Sterling Rupp of Grand Island, Neb., have each homered already as the lineup looks to have some pop this season.

The third hitter is Gonzalez, freshman from Bronx, N.Y., with three doubles to date as well. He also possesses the strongest outfield arm on the team.

The leadoff batter is skilled shortstop Samuel Vega of Puerto Rico.

“He gives us a good engine at the top, and I haven’t seen the other shortstops yet, but I’m confident that we have one of the best defensive shortstops in the conference,” Hernandez said. “He throws 87 (mph) across the infield and runs (60 yards) in 6.9.”

The No. 6 batter, sophomore center fielder Eric Bueno of Bronx, N.Y., brings experience to the outfield and is the early team leader with three stolen bases.

Three players are sharing the first base position.

Sophomore Zach Anderson of Kansas City, freshman Omar Frias of Dominican Republic and sophomore Matt Mayden of Warrensburg, Mo., all bring power to the battling order. Anderson is considered the most

polished defensively.

Freshman Glenn Velasquez of Puerto Rico is a reserve infielder and outfielder, and freshman Alfonso Ruvalcaba of Omaha is a capable backup to Vega at shortstop.

Joining Westphal in the starting pitching rotation are Zach Maskill, sophomore from Kansas City; Joshua Santiago, sophomore transfer from Southeastern Community College; and John Bisignano, freshman from West Des Moines Dowling.

Santiago and Bisignano are lefthanders.

Santiago has already committed to Division I Jackson State in Mississippi next year.

The closer is Angelo Rivera, sophomore from Puerto Rico.

“He has two plus pitches that he commands in his fastball and slider, and he throws plenty of strikes with both,” Hernandez said.

Namanny, who went to high school at Denison-Schleswig with two years of assistant coaching experience at Westwood of Sloan, is in charge of the pitchers. He’s also working on the roles of hurlers London Collins of Drexel, Mo.; Brian Anderson of Boone; Ottoniel Pacheco of Puerto Rico; Zak Bassett of Omaha; Drew Carlson of Tracy; and Travis Goodrich of Elkhorn, Neb. Steve Westphal assists Hernandez on hitting and serves as the bench coach.

“He has so much experience,” Hernandez said of the former state champion coach at Lenox. “I told him, I need all your knowledge!”

The Spartans’ home opener is March 18 against Marshalltown Community College at 1 p.m. Former Spartan coach and athletic director Bill Krejci will be the home plate umpire when Southwestern opens league play at home Saturday, March 21 against Iowa Central in a 2 p.m. doubleheader.

Junior Duck Stamp winners on display The competition is held annually, and this year more than 34,000 students competed across the nation.

■

The 2014 Iowa Junior Duck Stamp Contest winners are on display through March 30 at the Gibson Memorial Library in Creston. Visit the library to see some amazing artwork from students in grades K-12.

The exhibit includes 36 pieces of artwork of Iowa’s first, second and third place winners.

Lynn Singer, a 15-year-old from Lorimor, was awarded 2014 Iowa Best of Show. Singer’s entry was a king elder done in pastels. Her original artwork was sent to Washington, D.C., to participate in the national contest and is now traveling the United States as part of the best of show winners from all 50 states.

There were several East Union students who placed in the contest because of their talent and the dedication of retired East Union art instructor Deb Jensen. The following students will have artwork on display: Lynn Singer, best of show; first place winners Nick Forquer, Sherman Hayes, Kanyon Huntington, Emmet Long, Tanner Mitchell, Daniel Thatcher and Harry Walters; second place winners McKenize Barnett, Sara Collins, Rakenzy Pryor, Hunter Pryor, Emma Roan, Kylie Tate and Gaven Tomas; and third place winners T’Annah Banda, Elizabeth Hadley,

Jaci Jones, Riley Long, Bailee Prom, David Robb and Danny Samaniego.

There were many students who received honorable mention whose art is not part of the display. Those students are Erik Allen, Lizy Allison, Alex Brady, Daniel Giles, Casey Groves, Storm Hoadley, Karah Kirkland, Savannah Kistler, Peyton Long, Noelle McKnight, Liberty Smith, Kenadi Songer, Jacob Stephen, Tyler Tate, Rorie Tomas, Cole Wimber and Abagail Wuebker.

The Junior Duck Stamp Contest is modeled after the Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, commonly known as the “Duck Stamp.” The competition is held annually, and this year more than 34,000 students competed across the nation. All students in grades K-12 may participate in the contest. The Federal Junior Duck Stamp Program in Iowa, managed by the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge near Prairie City, is through an art and science-based curriculum.

Entries for the 2015 contest will be accepted any time but must be postmarked by Sunday. Please mail entries to the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge, P.O. Box 399, 9981 Pacific St., Prairie City, Iowa, 50228. For more information about the contest, contact Doreen Van Ryswyk at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge at (515) 994-3400, or go to the website: www.fws. gov/duckstamps.
