Severe Weather Awareness Freedom Week starts on Monday Rock plans underway in Clarke County

By BAILEY POOLMAN

SCHEDULE

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

It’s the time of year when tornadoes and thunderstorms are on high.

Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management and the National Weather Service have designated March 21-25 as Severe Weather Awareness Week, and during the week, several weather topics will be covered to ensure preparedness during severe weather.

“Basically, it is just to raise awareness of the weather that we receive in this state,” said Jo Duckworth, U n i o n Duckworth County Emergency Management coordinator. “As we know, spring and summer bring potentially violent storms, so it is a good reminder of what we need to do when those things happen.”

During Severe Weather Awareness Week, information on severe thunderstorms, warning reception, tornadoes, family preparedness and flooding will be published on the Union County Emergency Management Agency Facebook page by Duckworth throughout the week.

A tornado drill is also scheduled for 10 a.m.

Wednesday.

Duckworth said she’s been in contact with local businesses and schools urging them to participate.

“We (Corning) will be going under a watch at 10.

At 10:15 or so, we’re going under a tornado warning and blowing the siren like we would do in that situation,” said Don Willett,

This is the schedule for Severe Weather Awareness Week in Iowa. Each day, Union County Emergency Management Coordinator Jo Duckworth will send out information concerning different topics, and there will also be a tornado drill scheduled.

MONDAY

Severe thunderstorm information will be sent out. Remember these tips: • Watch for signs of a thunderstorm, like darkening skies or lightning flashes.

• If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be in danger of lightning.

• If thunder roars, go indoors. Don’t wait for rain.

• Avoid using corded electrical equipment during a thunderstorm.

• Keep away from windows during a thunderstorm.

TUESDAY

This photo of an August 2015 tornado that ripped through the ground in Williamson in Adams County shows how severe weather can strike without warning. The tornado was given an EF-1 rating, and there was hail ranging from pea-sized to tennis ball-sized in Union County.

Adams County Emergency Management coordinator. “We check our indoor warning systems for the nursing home, the hospital, the factories and all that for the community.”

During a severe weather event, Duckworth monitors the weather before it strikes and as it occurs. She stays in touch with the National Weather Service to gain a timeline and severity of the weather event.

“From that point on, we

start planning what we’ll do as the storm approaches,” Duckworth said. “We do have procedures throughout the county of when to sound the sirens, and when spotters will go out.”

Union County is also privy to a Code Red emergency notification system.

The system has been in use for about eight years, and it sends out warnings to everyone signed up, whether SEVERE | 2A

Tuesday’s topic is warning reception.

Here are several places to find weather watch and warning information: • On the internet • Commercial television or radio • NOAA All-Hazards weather radios • Mobile devices

WEDNESDAY

Tornadoes are the focus for Wednesday.

A tornado drill is scheduled for 10 a.m.

MURRAY — The time for Clarke County to gain more perspective of freedom is here.

That perspective of freedom comes in the form of a Clarke County Freedom Rock, tentatively scheduled to be painted in 2017-18 by Ray “Bubba” Sorensen II of Greenfield.

“In 1999, Bubba Sorensen decided that this boulder up by Menlo needed to be painted. He thought it was a great way to honor the veterans. So, every year since then, he goes and paints another mural on that big boulder to honor the veterans,” said Jason Gibbs, Murray Development Corporation vice chairperson. “He now wants a rock in each of the 99 counties (in Iowa), and it’s called the Freedom Rock Tour. What a great way to showcase our state, to honor the people that have served.”

The plan to have a Freedom Rock in Clarke County began taking shape in 2015, but during the Murray Development Corporation’s annual meeting Thursday evening, diagrams were shown to the public depicting the corporation’s plan to move forward with the tourist project.

A location has been tentatively decided as well, which is immediately west of Murray Cemetery.

The cost is estimated to be about $40,000 for the

project. Costs for the rock painting, raised concrete pads, an honor wall and flags are included in the cost.

“We wanted to do something a little more. The price tag goes up with that,” Gibbs said.

Board members decided to include the 4-foot-tall honor wall in the Freedom Rock project to add a little flair.

“I’d been visiting a lot of these Freedom Rocks around the state, and they’re all basically the same design. It just sits there on flat ground,” said Ron Wheeler, Murray Development Corporation board member. “Surrounding it is usually brick, and occasionally on the brick you can see a person’s name engraved in it.”

ROCK | 2A

Ernst plans visits to Creston, Orient Sen. Joni Ernst will be in Union County at 12:15 p.m. Wednesday, March 23, to tour Southern Prairie YMCA, 1201 W. Townline St., in Creston.

The event is open to the public.

Ernst will then travel to Wellman Dynamics for a business visit, which is not open to the public.

Before coming to Creston,

Ernst is scheduled to visit Henry A. Wallace Country Life Center in Orient from Ernst 11:20 to 11:30 a.m. and depart at 11:35 a.m. Wednesday. The senator will tour the 40-acre property, weather-permitting, and talk with staff and board members to learn about The Wallace Centers of Iowa’s farm-to-table pro-

other event.

“Know where the storm shelters are at, whether they’re at work or at home,” Willett said. “Listen to local radio stations. Be aware if there is an approaching storm, and have a survival package in the shelters.”

ROCK: CONT. FROM | 1A

The plan is to put the rock on a 2-foot-tall raised concrete pad. The rock is estimated to stand at 9 feet, so the total height is about 11-feet-tall. Then, a halfmoon-shaped concrete pad will surround the Freedom Rock. That pad will be about 18 inches tall and provide natural seating. On that pad will also stand the honor wall, and behind the wall will be the United States of America flag and one flag for each of the branches of military.

The honor wall will be covered in tiles that can be purchased for $50. Part of the cost is the purchase and engraving of the dark granite tile, while the other part will be put toward project construction. Between 450 and 500 tiles will be available for purchase, and people with any connection to Clarke County will be eligible for engraving on the tile.

“The biggest emphasis is that it’s for Clarke County,” said Craig Justice, chairperson of the Murray Development Corporation. “This is a big project for our community to take on. ... You got to keep an open mind that eventually communities like this have to do projects to keep people coming to this community to live here, to visit here.”

Gibbs said the plan is to do the concrete work this summer so the painting can be started in spring 2017.

“If people are going to plan a bus tour, we want to be on the top of their list,” Gibbs said. “In the end, the higher price tag is going to be worth it all.”

This is the architectural plan for the Clarke County Freedom Rock. The rock will sit on a raised concrete pad, and off to the side will be a half-moon-shaped raised concrete pad for natural seating, planting of flags and stabilization of an honor wall. The concrete is tentatively scheduled to be complete in the summer, and the painting of the rock is tentatively planned to take place in 2017-18.

ENTERTAINMENT

X-ray extras Dear Heloise: My wife broke her wrist. They took X-RAYS that were digital.

I asked for copies, and they printed them out within minutes. No problem, and they did the work. — G.R., via email Don’t you love it? Get an X-ray and get a print to take home. Yes, do ask and keep a “hard copy” for yourself, just in case. Hope your wife is coping. A broken wrist is no fun, and it makes everyday life a little bumpy. — Hugs, Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise. com FLIGHT COMFORT Dear Heloise: Thought I would share this hint that I received from a flight attendant recently: After asking for a blanket on a chilly late-night winter flight, she suggested that I turn on my reading light and the one next to me in the unused seat.

The light generates a little extra heat, and it’s directed at your head and neck. Love your columns and tips, especially those related to travel.

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, March 18, 2016

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

Hints from Heloise — Wendy in Columbus, Ohio Wendy, thanks for the hint and the kind words! The overhead lights do put out a little heat, which is why you should turn them off if it’s hot on the airplane.

Here’s another hint for travel, or just when you are cold: Cover the back of your neck to keep warm. Use a scarf, pull up a collar on your shirt or hold something warm there. Conversely, if you are hot — you know, sitting on the plane before takeoff — cool the back of your neck with a splash of water, or hold a cold object there, such as a water bottle. Try it! You will be surprised. — Heloise MORE FOR YOUR MONEY Dear Heloise: I use an under-eye “serum” that’s pretty costly. The pump gizmo would not work anymore. I pried the top off and used a cotton swab to dip for just a dab, and I got two more weeks of use. — Clarissa E., Salem, Mass.

RUBBER BANDS

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

Dear Heloise: One of your readers asked about solutions for gripping containers, as she suffers from neuropathy. I also have problems with this.

My solution is to put several rubber bands around any container, from a thermos bottle to suntan lotion. This works for me. — Beverly B., Lima, Ohio Several readers wrote and offered their hints using some type of rubber. Shirley in New Hampshire and Sherri B. in Allen, Texas, both said they use rubber gloves that are made for dishwashing.

Susan O. in Minnesota said she uses rubberized shelf liner because it’s inexpensive and can be cut to any size needed.

Great hints! — Heloise MAGNETIC BINGO BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker WAND Dear Heloise: I sew, and my sewing room is carpeted. I was fearful of dropping a pin and stepping on it; I go barefoot a lot.

I found some bingo wands (they are magnetic) at a garage sale. I use them to scan the carpet for pins. It amazes me when I see several pins stuck to it. — Jeri F., Cibolo, Texas (c)2016 by King Features BLONDIE® Syndicate Inc.

COMMUNITY

Creston News Advertiser | Friday, March 18, 2016

Club news Kent Dinner Club

Kent Dinner Club met March 10 at Pizza Ranch with 15 attending.

Next meeting will be 5:30 p.m. April 14 at Pizza Ranch.

Anyone who lives or lived around the Kent community are welcome to attend.

Progressive Chautauqua Circle

The GFWC Progressive Chautauqua Circle met Feb. 23 at the home of Pat Butcher with Peg Anderson as co-hostess.

The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance. The program on public issues was given by Jerri Henderson. She showed a video about domestic abuse titled “What the Church Can Do.” Devotions were given

by Mary Morris.

The meeting was called to order by Sharon Skarda. Roll call was taken and members answered the question, “What political issue is important to you?” Eighteen members were in attendance.

The secretary and treasurer’s reports were read, accepted and approved.

Committees reporting: Blood mobile committee chair Betty Wallace reported the quota of 108 was met thanks to all the callers, workers and those who donated. Domestic violence donations received in January were discussed by Henderson. Email correspondence was reviewed by Skarda, and she stated she appreciated each committee chair. The 2016 GFWC district meeting is going to be held in Creston

in October so two volunteers from each of the three chapters in Creston are needed to work with Anderson. Butcher and Connie Edsall will be the reps for the Chautauqua Club. Scholarship forms were distributed to two middle school students by the high school counselor.

New business: State dues are increasing by $5 per year next year. Skarda informed the members that the Bancroft Club will be giving a party “Tea of 125 Years Party” on April 24. It will be a hat and glove affair recognizing the history of GFWC. Skarda led the members in the Collect for Club Women in unison and the meeting was adjourned.

The circle met for their 121st anniversary on March 8 at Summit house with Morris, Linda Huffman, Polly McCoy, Sandy Oswald and Edsall as hostesses. A delicious meal, followed by angel food cake with green frosting and lime sherbet, was enjoyed by all.

A wonderful program was presented by three highschool speech students. Each student gave one or two speeches that they will be presenting at state competition.

Skarda then called the meeting to order. The members recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Roll call was taken with members responding to the question, “Favorite extra curricular high school activity, either as a participant or as a spectator?”

Eighteen members were in attendance. The secretary and treasurer’s reports

were read, accepted and approved.

Committee reports: A letter from Southwestern Community College thanking the club for the donation sent to them was read. Skarda passed around the formal invitation to the members from the Bancroft Club to attend an “afternoon tea and crumpets” party on April 24 in celebration of 125 years of GFWC. Domestic violence donations received in February were discussed by Henderson. Scholarship applications have been distributed locally for two music camp requests and one high school student for college. Winners in the state will be determined and announced later.

New business: Skarda recommended that the “usual order” of members that would make up the 201617 program committee be changed for that year due to a variety of reasons. Changes were discussed and approved. New club officers recommended for next year are Edsall, president; Oswald, secretary; and Linda Hughes, treasurer. Installation of officers will take place in May. Skarda led the members in the Collect for Club Women in unison and the meeting was adjourned.

The next meeting will be on April 26 at Henderson’s home with Judy Weese as co-hostess.

Canasta winners were Joan Chubick, first; Barb Bills, second; and Wanda Nash, third.

Linda Clark won the door prize.

Mary Kline will host cards and chatter Wednesday, March 23.

Wichita State’s record since 2010, tops in NCAA Division I men’s basketball.

AP Sports Writer

National Digest

Yale shocker PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The Ivy League has produced its share of surprise winners in the NCAA Tournament. It can add Yale to that list of bracket spoilers.

Makai Mason had a career-high 31 points, including six of Yale’s final nine points, and the No. 12 seed Bulldogs held on to upset No. 5 seed Baylor 79-75 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday.

Yale (23-6) earns its first NCAA Tournament victory. It comes in its first appearance since 1962.

“This was bigger than us, and we wanted to do it for all the Yale faithful out there,” said senior Justin Sears. “”It’s great right now. I don’t think it’s really hit us how big this is yet.”

Afterward, the Bulldogs celebrated like a team that had been waiting 54 years to play in the big dance.

When the final horn sounded, coach James Jones walked across the floor with his arms raised. Stopping in front a cheering throng of Yale fans, he slammed both hands down on the scorer’s table before again lifting his arms high.

Since Cornell made a Cinderella run to the Sweet 16 in 2010, Ivy League teams have gone 4-3 in first-round games.

That Cornell team, coincidentally, was also a No. 12 seed. The Bulldogs advance to face fourth-seeded Duke on Saturday. Sears added 18 points. Brandon Sherrod finished with 10.

Celebrating his 22nd birthday, the 6-foot-1 senior made a 3-pointer from the edge of the half-court logo to send the game into overtime, a high looper off glass to send it into double-overtime, then kept right on scoring — 31 points in all — until his team had beaten Purdue 85-83 and grabbed a spot in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

“Don’t ever count the little guys out,” first-year coach Chris Beard shouted toward press row as he ran off the court after his team joined Yale as the second No. 12 seed to beat a 5 on Thursday.

The Trojans (30-4) were trailing by 13 and going nowhere with 3:33 left in regulation.

Purdue senior A.J. Hammons finished his college career with 16 points, 15 rebounds and six blocked shots. When he hit two free throws with 3:33 left, the Boilermakers looked like a sure bet to be moving on.

“We got complacent with our lead,” Boilermakers coach Matt Painter said. “We didn’t put our foot down.”

DENVER (AP) — His right shoulder no longer throbbing, Monte Morris felt good about Iowa State’s ability to make amends Thursday.

“The shoulder felt great.

We’ve got a great training staff. They did everything for me these past weeks to get me back feeling good,” Morris said. “Yesterday in practice it let me know mentally that I could shoot the ball at an efficient rate.”

So, after a good night’s rest, he let it fly in warmups.

No pain.

No worries.

With no lingering effects of the painful right shoulder injury that hampered him a week earlier in a loss to Oklahoma in the Big 12 tourney, Morris scored 20 points and dished out eight assists in Iowa State’s 94-81 win over 14th-seeded Iona in the NCAA Tournament.

“The only worry I had was losing this game again,” Morris said, recalling the Cyclones’ stunning 60-59 loss to 14th-seeded UAB in the NCAA tournament a year ago.

“If I wasn’t able to get it going offensively I was going to do everything I could on the defensive end to be successful.”

Georges Niang’s 28 points led the No. 3 seed Cyclones (22-11), who had all five of their starters score in double figures — and put up all but two of the team’s points.

“Man, I felt like since Sunday all I’ve been hearing is ‘Iona is going to upset Iowa State. A.J. English, A.J. English, A.J. English,’” Niang said. “I was like, ‘What about the Iowa State Cyclones?

They’re pretty good.’ This is huge for us. This is motivation. We really wanted to beat these guys to really show people we’re real. This is a real team we have here.”

Morris showed just how healthy he was, running an efficient offense that shot 50 percent from the floor and stifled high-scoring Iona (2211), which was led by A.J. English’s 28 points and Jordan Washington’s 26.

That wasn’t enough to keep up with the balanced Cyclones, who got 19 points from Abdel Nader, 14 from Matt Thomas and 11 from Jameel McKay. “We tried to slow them down,” English said. “We just couldn’t.”

The Gaels cut an 18-point second-half deficit to seven with just under three minutes remaining when English hit a pair of free throws to make it 83-76. The comeback fizzled, however, after English was whistled for traveling.

First-year Texas coach no longer the underdog

By CLIFF BRUNT AP Sports Writer

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — For years, Shaka Smart could play the underdog card as Virginia Commonwealth’s coach.

Smart’s mid-major program beat the big boys all the way to the 2011 Final Four, and his VCU squads won two NCAA Tournament games in 2012 and 2013.

Now, he’s in his first year at Big 12 member Texas.

And for the first time, Smart leads the Goliath from the Power Five conference against the mid-major in March. Texas (20-12), seeded sixth in the West Region, plays No. 11 seed Northern Iowa (22-12) Friday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Northern Iowa won the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.

“Hopefully, our guys understand Northern Iowa’s a dangerous team,” Smart said. “You look at them,

they’ve won 12 out of the last 13 games. They’re defending at an extremely high level and they can shoot at every spot. So hopefully, if you really look closely, you realize it’s not about what league the team came from, it’s about what they do on the court.”

One of the best matchups will be between the guards.

Texas’ Isaiah Taylor and Javan Felix will try to slow down Northern Iowa’s Wes Washpun.

Washpun averaged 16.3 points in the MVC conference tournament and hit the game-winner against Evansville that put the Panthers into the NCAA Tournament.

“So far, we know he’s an athletic point guard,” Taylor said. “He drives a lot. He’s a strong, left-handed driver, and he can also pull up for the jumper. We know that he’s a good player.”

Taylor averages 14.8 points and 4.9 assists. His assist-to-turnover ratio is 2.7 to 1. Felix averages 10.6

points and 2.2 assists.

“Extremely talented offensive players,” Washpun said. “They get pretty much wherever they want on the court, from what I’ve seen so far from watching film.”

Here are five things to watch as Texas and Northern Iowa meet for the first time: RIDLEY’S STATUS: Cameron Ridley, Texas’ 6-foot-10 center, missed much of the season with a broken foot, then played two minutes in the conference tournament loss to Baylor after having not played since Dec. 19. He averages 11.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game.

“I go by what the athletic trainer and doctor says,” Smart said. “So I’m not guaranteeing he’ll play that much. It’s based on two things: his availability and how the game is going.”

SIMILAR WINS: Both teams have victories over North Carolina and Iowa State. Texas beat North Carolina 84-82 on Dec. 12.

They plan to film episodes of the hit series “American Pickers” throughout Iowa with filming scheduled for May. “American Pickers” is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique “picking” on the History channel. The hit show follows Wolfe and Fritz, two of the most skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques – from motorcycles, classic cars and bicycles to one-ofa-kind vintage memorabilia.
