Lawmakers discuss marijuana for medical use

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

The Iowa Legislature entertained the discussion of medical marijuana, but no action will be taken to pass a bill during the 2014 session.

No Republican supported the bill when it was introduced in the Iowa Senate, but lawmakers who support the idea hope to continue to educate each other and research

the benefits for another discussion next year.

The main concerns were how to regulate the drug and the steps to bypass a federal law at the state level.

While the Iowa Legislature starts to research and debate the topic, Iowa’s Governor, Republican Terry Branstad, has said he is leery of passing medical marijuana. He is currently seeking a sixth term as Iowa’s Governor.

“I think we have to be careful

about drafting our laws just for a few people that have a particular problem or ailment,” Branstad said during a recent press conference.

Branstad A recent Quinnipiac University Poll found that Please see MARIJUANA, Page 2

By the numbers 87 — By a large majority, 87 percent of Iowans polled by Quinnipiac University supported the idea that marijuana should be legalized for medicinal purposes.

55 — Iowans do not support the use of marijuana for recreational use. Of those polled, 55 percent were against recreational use comparted to 41 percent in favor.

83 — The lack of support for recreational use may stem from the 83 percent of voters who said they are uncomfortable or very uncomfortable riding in a car that is driving by someone under the influence of marijuana.

QUICK NEWS Boil advisory lifted

A precautionary boil advisory — in effect for the northeast corner of Adams County and southern third of Union County over the weekend — was lifted Sunday morning by Southern Iowa Rural Water officials.

Wrapping up some germs?

Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUNDOFF, about wait staff and silverware: “I have been reading about the restaurant workers who use the same cloth to wash the tables and chairs.

A worse problem I observed as I worked in restaurants is the silverware wrapped in napkins for placement on tables. Many workers, from wait staff to cashiers, wrap the silverware in any spare moment, especially during the busiest times, in order to keep up with large amounts of customers. I rarely saw staff wash their hands between handling money or other items and then wrapping the utensils. — A Concerned Eater, via email” Yuck! — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are some hints about items to keep handy in a guest room: • A box of tissues and a wastebasket.

• A small flashlight and a night light.

• A few small snacks, or even fruit.

• Travel-size toiletries in a bathroom.

• Books and magazines

Hints from Heloise for reading.

National Digest

Hawks win IOWA CITY — Theairra Taylor scored 22 points, Bethany Doolittle added 21 and Iowa blew out Marist 87-65 on Sunday in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Samantha Logic had 11 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds for the sixth-seeded Hawkeyes (27-8), who will face third-seeded Louisville on Tuesday for a trip to the Sweet Sixteen.

ISU falls AMES — Natasha Howard had her schoolrecord 15th double-double of the season with 10 points and 13 rebounds, and 10th-seeded Florida State women defeated the cold-shooting Cyclones 55-44 on Saturday.

The Cyclones were second in the nation in attendance this season at better than 10,000 a game. The home crowd had little to cheer as the Cyclones turned in their worst shooting performance of the season.

The Seminoles (21-11) won their 11th straight tournament opener since 1991, prevailing in a game in which turnovers outnumbered field goals 44-36. They’ll play No. 2 seeded Stanford (30-3) on Monday night.

Baylor rolls SAN ANTONIO — Baylor was too big, too strong and too fast for Creighton and Doug McDermott to handle.

And because of it, the sixth-seeded Bears are rolling out of Texas toward California and the NCAA tournament Sweet 16 after an impressive 85-55 win Sunday night in the West Regional.

Isaiah Austin and Brady Heslip each scored 17 points and Baylor used suffocating defense to shut down McDermott, ending the career of one of college basketball’s most prolific scorers.

McDermott, who averaged 27 points this season, finished with 15 but had just three in the first half as Baylor built a 20-point lead.

Panther girls debut at Central indoor

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

PELLA — Creston girls track coach Clay Arnold said the 2014 season debut at the Central College indoor meet Saturday was a success, despite only a partial squad available because of spring break.

“We had a very good first meet at Central,” Arnold said. “We took 16 girls — seven of whom were not on the team last year. We saw a ton of great things and we were very encouraged at where we are right now.”

Arnold had to mix and match some lineups without standouts Maria and Natalie Mostek, and with versatile middle-distance runner Taylor Briley still hampered by a hamstring injury.

Freshman Lexie Little showed potential in several events, running a team-best carry of 2:43.57 on the 4x800 relay team that placed 17th

among 32 entries. Jami Sickels anchored that unit in 2:47.81.

Little also ran a 30.3 anchor on the 4x200 relay that ran 29th out of 60 in 2:05.75, and placed 7 3 r d among 176 entries in the 200 meters in 31.38.

L i t t l e Little also had a team-best time of 10.0 in the 55-meter hurdles.

Senior Chelcee Downing had a good day in the sprints, taking 45th among 215 entries in the 55 meters in 7.95 and 18th among 79 entries in the 400 meters in 1:08.51. Jami Sickels was 25th in 1:10.48.

“Downing had a good day,” Arnold said. “She has had her best preseason of her career so far, and it showed Saturday. I was really pleased with the versa-

tility of our girls. They can do a lot of different things, which allows us to move people around as needed.

Jami Sickels ran her first 800 in place of Briley in the 4x800 and did a nice job running 2:47.”

Another good showing at the 800 distance was turned in by Jessica Beatty, going 2:55.23 in the open 800 for first in her heat and 40th overall among 88 entries, as well as running 2:57.55 on the 17th-place 4x800 relay.

Freshman Rachel Shepherd rounded out that unit at 2:58.79.

Creston’s depth in the 200 meters was evident in two relay teams placing in the top 30 among 60 entries.

The weight events suffered a blow when state eighth-grade champion Hannah Hood was lost for her freshman season with an upcoming shoulder surgery (torn labrum) from a volleyball injury. However, her sister Marie made a strong

debut in the shot put Saturday with a throw of 26 feet.

“It was tough losing Hannah for the season,” Arnold said. “But we’ve been working with Marie, who decided to come out for track this year, and she’s been real receptive to learning. To throw 26 feet in her very first try, that’s pretty good. When we go to these indoor meets we like to find out what we’ve got, and Marie’s effort was an example of how we came away impressed with some things.”

Originally, Creston was scheduled for a second indoor meet next weekend at Graceland University, but that meet was scheduled the same day as Central’s this year and eventually cancelled.

The Panthers debut outdoors by hosting the preseason Hawkeye 10 southern division meet April 1.

Spartans split with Ellsworth

Busch wins FONTANA, Calif.— With tires and tempers blowing up all over the track for 400 crazy miles, Kyle Busch stayed calm and relied on his remarkable knack for big finishes at Fontana.

Busch won on this 2-mile oval for the second straight year Sunday, holding off Kyle Larson, Tony Stewart and his older brother Kurt on a frantic two-lap sprint to the finish.

Kyle Busch capably blocked Larson and outlasted a crowded field to win a race featuring a track-record 35 lead changes and numerous tire problems. Busch stayed out of trouble and roared up late for his second straight stunner in Southern California, following up the Las Vegas native’s final-lap surge to victory a year ago.

NIACC’s Adrian Rodriguez knocks a grounder back toward Southwestern pitcher Alex Lawson during Saturday’s doubleheader here. Lawson pitched the Spartans to a 2-2 tie in the sixth before NIACC took a 4-2 win in nine innings.

Timely hitting absent in Spartan baseball losses

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

Clutch hitting was missing from the Southwestern baseball attack in four home losses to NIACC over the weekend.

In a pair of doubleheaders played in wind chill conditions dipping under 20 degrees, the Spartans had narrow defeats both Saturday and Sunday.

NIACC won 4-2 in nine innings Saturday and 7-2 in the nightcap. The Trojans opened Sunday’s play with

a 12-2 win in six innings before going extra innings for a 3-2 victory.

“We’re just not driving people in right now,” said Spartan coach Brian “Bull” Smith.

Smith explained that opening games in conference doubleheaders are now scheduled for nine innings, to resemble postseason tournament play, with the second games scheduled for seven innings.

On Sunday, NIACC pitchers Jacob Gleason and Casey Hall pitched a pair of complete games. Gleason

struck out seven in the sixinning opener before Hall went eight strong innings with eight strikeouts in the 3-2 nightcap.

NIACC was the home team because the games were scheduled to be in Mason City, but had to be moved due to weather. NIACC improved to 4-0 in the conference, while SWCC fell to 0-11 overall and 0-4 in the league.

Southwestern also had a good starting pitching

Southwestern’s softball team came back from a successful trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C., to play a conference doubleheader split with Ellsworth Community College in frigid conditions here Saturday.

Ellsworth took the opener before the Spartans (7-2 overall, 1-1 conference) came back to take the second game by the same score, 11-6. All other softball games in the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference were postponed or cancelled.

“It was one of the colder game days I’ve been associated with in a long time,” said SWCC softball coach Lindsay Stumpff. “When the sun went away it was brutal. At one point it was 29 degrees and windy. But other than our first day in Myrtle Beach, it was cold down there, too.”

The Spartans came back to Iowa with a 6-1 record, with a lineup of virtually all freshmen or first-year sophomores in the lineup, after returning catcher Brooke Wolf broke the thumb on her catching hand in the second game.

Stumpff said Wolf will miss another week or two.

Freshman Peyton Russell took over behind the plate for pitchers Danielle McIntosh and Sami Strand.

McIntosh pitched the opener Saturday and suffered some control problems in the loss.

“Danielle has good movement, but she had trouble hitting her spots,” Stumpff said. “The weather didn’t help, I’m sure.”

Freshman Emma Ferrin drove in two runs on a double, triple and single.

Hanna Murphy had a double and single and Strand, playing DH, pounded three doubles.

Iowa State knocks UNC out of NCAA tourney SAN ANTONIO (MCT)— North Carolina’s players walked out of their locker room on Sunday night with red eyes and dried tears, the sounds of another game playing on moments after their season ended — the realization that it was over still coming into focus.

“It hasn’t really sunk in, to be honest with you,” James Michael McAdoo, UNC’s junior forward, said after the Tar Heels’ 85-83 loss against Iowa State here on Sunday night in the NCAA tournament East Regional quarterfinals. “It’s just like a lot of emotion.”

In the moment, McAdoo said he was numb to it. Roy Williams, the UNC coach, has described this as his most difficult season, and it ended in one of the most difficult ways imaginable – with Iowa State winning with a DeAndre Kane layup with 1.6 seconds to play, and with the Tar Heels failing to even get off a final shot.

The game ended not with a buzzer, but with a whistle – the officials ruling time had expired before Nate Britt, the Tar Heels’ freshman guard, had called timeout in the final moments.

After Kane’s layup, Britt received the inbounds pass

and sprinted past mid-court, where he attempted to call for time.

The clock, though, had remained stuck on 1.6 seconds after Kane’s layup. The officials conferred, and ruled that had the clock started as it should have, it would have run out before Britt signaled for timeout. Later, Williams said he’d been trying the entire time to stop the clock.

“Let’s not anybody lay it on the officials or anything like that,” Williams said.

“We didn’t call the timeout with 1.6 seconds to play. The Please see CYCLONES, Page 6A

performance in the 3-2 game, as Landon Camp left in a 2-2 tie with two outs in the seventh. Ian Dyer worked out of a jam in the seventh but got in trouble with a leadoff hit and a walk.

The runners advanced on a wild pitch and the winning run scored on a passed ball.

“Landon had a good start.

He was throwing strikes,” Smith said.

NIACC broke open a 4-2 game with eight runs in the sixth inning in the opener.

On Saturday, Alex Lawson was on the mound for Southwestern in a 2-2 game in the sixth inning. The Trojans tallied two more runs to take the pitchers’ duel as the teams combined for only nine hits.

In the 7-2 game, Jason Roberts was pitching in a 2-2 game until two runs scored on an error, opening the door for NIACC to add a couple of insurance runs.

rin was 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs, Strand had a double and single and Molly Schimp was 2-for-4 with a double and single.

“With a new team you never know what to expect,” Stumpff said, “and I was worried that hitting might be our weakness. It turns out it’s one of our biggest strengths. We also haven’t made a lot of errors in our

first eight games.”

The weather forecast could hamper what is supposed to be a busy schedule this week for the Spartans.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — From the beginning of the NCAA Division I wrestling championships to the end, University of Iowa senior Tony Ramos was a man with a plan.

The first phase was simple, win five matches and become Iowa’s 53rd national champion. The other ... it was pretty sweet.

Ramos completed plan one Saturday night with his 3-1 tiebreaker win over Wisconsin’s Tyler Graff as he captured the 133-pound national title at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

As soon as his hand was raised, plan two went into full effect as Ramos sprinted off the stage and directly to the stands where he leaped mosh-pit style into a mob of friends and family.

“Oh yeah,” Ramos said if the leap into the stands was planned. “You always have something planned.

They’re the closest people to me other than the wrestling team, Tom and Terry (Brands), the other coaches, and I wanted to see them as quick as I could.

“It’s awesome. I’m excited.”

A Hawkeye favorite since the time he cracked Iowa’s lineup as a sophomore, the Carol Stream, Ill., native had twice fallen short of a national championship, finishing third as a sophomore and losing to Ohio State’s Logan Stieber in the

referee said that the clock operator started the clock late and they didn’t recognize my calling the timeout.

“And then when they did recognize the timeout and went to the monitor, they realized the clock operator had started the clock late so there should not have been any time left when they did make the observation that we were calling timeout.”

Before the officials ruled the game over, Williams had drawn up one final play. The Tar Heels (24-10) would have attempted to set a screen for Marcus Paige, the sophomore guard, and if he was covered the plan was for freshman forward Kennedy Meeks to pass to Leslie McDonald, the senior who scored 18 points in his final college game.

“Coach had a play that he had drew up on the board and I was just ready to execute it to the best,” McDonald said.

That play, though, only ever existed on Williams’ whiteboard. UNC never had a chance to put it in motion.

The Tar Heels, the No. 6 seed in the East, led by eight points with about 4 1/2 minutes to play and at that point, Paige said, he and his teammates felt in control.

They’d rallied from a ninepoint deficit in the first half, and had come back after No. 3 Iowa State (28-7) led by seven with 15 minutes remaining.

Paige recounted that moment with tears in his eyes.

Iowa State trimmed the Tar Heels’ lead from eight to two points with a pair of 3-pointers — one from Naz Long and the other from Monte Morris, whose 3-pointer cut UNC’s lead to 76-74 with three minutes to play.

About a minute later, Iowa State forward Melvin Ejim tied it at 76 with a layup. And that’s how it went in the final minutes – back and forth and back again, one dramatic momentum shift after another. There was a McDonald 3 that gave UNC a 3-point lead, and another Long 3 that tied it.

And then, after that, a play that Paige said he’ll think about between now and the start of next season. The game tied at 81 with less than 30 seconds to play, he drove into the lane and jumped, as if to go up for a shot. Caught with nowhere to go, he attempted a

pass that Ejim easily stole.

The turnover led to an easy Kane layup.

Twenty-seven seconds remained, though, after Kane’s layup. James Michael McAdoo tied the game for the 10th time with a pair of free throws with 15 seconds remaining, and then Kane scored the last of his 24 points with 1.6 seconds left.

Kane also had 10 rebounds to lead the thirdseeded Cyclones (28-7), who advanced to face seventh-seeded Connecticut in the East Region semifinals at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Friday.

The Big 12 champions have won six in a row — including Friday’s 93-75 victory over North Carolina Central, when standout forward Georges Niang was lost for the season with a broken bone in his foot.

Iowa State pulled together without Niang, getting 19 points from Melvin Ejim, 14 from Dustin Hogue, 13 from Monte Morris and 12 from Naz Long, whose barrage of 3-pointers down the stretch sparked a Cyclones run.

“I kept saying he is the king and I had to go back in there and get the king’s hat,” Brands said while wearing an NCAA championship hat Ramos’ brothers made for him.

Penn State captured its fourth consecutive NCAA team title by a narrow margin over Minnesota, 109.5104. The Golden Gophers led the Nittany Lions, 104101.5 heading into the finals with each team having two finalists.

The difference was PSU’s two finalists -- Ed Ruth and David Taylor -- won and Minnesota’s two-time NCAA champion Tony Nelson and Dylan Ness lost.

Ruth became a three-time champion with his win at 184, and Taylor, a four-time finalist, won his second title, beating Tyler Caldwell of Oklahoma State, 6-0. Ruth beat Maryland’s Jimmy Sheptock, 7-2.

Iowa finished fourth with 78.5 points and six AllAmericans with Cory Clark taking fifth at 125, Derek St. John fifth at 157, Mike Evans sixth at 174, Nathan Burak eighth at 197 and Bobby Telford fourth at heavyweight.

For St. John, the defending champion at 157, it was his fourth All-American performance, making him the 18th four-time AllAmerican in program history.

133-pound finals a year ago.

Known for his explosive style, Ramos was tactical and smart for three days while winning a series of close matches, and he was that way again against Graff, whom he was 3-1 Ramos against all-time, including a 2-1 win over the Badger senior in this year’s Big Ten finals.

The finals match was close, as well, as he and Graff stalked and prowled for eight minutes before going to tiebreakers. After Graff rode Ramos out in the first 30-second tiebreaker, it was Ramos’ turn to ride and he was ready for Graff’s plan of attack to get out.

When Graff tried to granby out, Ramos caught him briefly on his back and got a two-count and was rewarded two near fall points with 11 seconds left.

“I knew he liked to roll,” Ramos said. “As soon as he hit that roll, I was just finding some way to score. I caught that arm and I was like, you know, if I just fall back a little bit I’m going to get a quick count.

“That’s why you don’t roll. For young kids, never roll. Solid wrestling always wins.”

An elated Hawkeye head coach Tom Brands carried Ramos on his shoulders

Clive Cussler: “A pity men like him aren’t around anymore. He was a giant in his time.”

Russell Baker: “It makes us remember a time when the doctor was a truly heroic figure.”

Hugh Sidey: “His kind made this country great.”

Judy Collins: “Your writing is evocative of my own love of the West.”

Margaret Chase Smith: “It is certainly something that should be read by everyone.”

Julie Harris: “What a wonderful doctor. I wish I had known him.”

Tipper Gore: “Your writing has that special quality that takes a reader to the time, place and mood you describe.”

Liv Ullmann: “You have a wonderful father to remember. I am very moved.”

Karl Maiden: “A wonderful story!”

Patricia Neal: “If I were a man, I would love to play him on the screen.”

Joan Rivers: “If only there were doctors like him today.”

Public notice REGULAR MEETING OF THE CRESTON CITY COUNCIL MARCH 18, 2014 The Creston City Council met in regular session at 6:00 o clock p.m. on the above date in the Council Chambers of the City Hall Complex with Mayor Woods presiding.

Roll call being taken with the following Council members present: Loudon, Lybarger, Koets, Wilson, Levine, Winborn and White.

During Public Forum, Wayne Pantini, UCDA, gave an update on the new house at 507 S. Elm Street explaining the project is going well. To date, they have been reimbursed approximately $25,000 of the $40,000 NSP Funds the City agreed to provide, and are waiting for the weather to straighten out before drawing the remainder of the $40,000 NSP Funds to finish off the landscaping, drive, etc.

Barbara Widick, 1105 N. Division, approached Council asking that they consider strengthening City Ordinance 41.09 by possibly adding “10 - 15 feet from lot lines or some type of protective fencing needs to be set up”, as she has neighbors that set up a target on her lot line and shoot arrows at it. This goes right between the houses and she is concerned that someone is going to get hurt.

Mayor Woods announced that now is the time for a Public Hearing on the matter of the Plans, Specifications, Form of Contract and Estimate of Costs for the Airport Pavement Maintenance Project. No one spoke in favor of or against, and there was no written correspondence for or against.

Donate pop tabs to support Ronald McDonald House

CNA photo by JAKE WADDINGHAM

Recognition of Service: The Union County Board of Supervisors recognized four county officials during today’s meeting

for more than 30 years of service in county government. The board recognized, from left, Attorney Tim Kenyon, Recorder Paula White, Secondary Roads Engineer Steve Akes and Assessor Gene Haner.

GREENFIELD — Each year, Adair County 4-H Youth Council members donate their time, talent and mon- ■ Area ey to sup- residents port Des are asked M o i n e s to collect R o n - tabs and ald Mc- drop them D o n a l d off at Adair H o u s e .

Area residents are asked to collect beverage tabs and drop them off at Adair County Extension in Greenfield by April 3.

The 4-H group will deliver all collected tabs to Ronald McDonald House. Donating beverage tabs is one way to support the work of the charity that provides housing for families of children who are hospitalized or must stay near the hospital for out-patient treat-

ment.

“We would love to take a whole van load of tabs with us to Ronald McDonald House,” said Matthew Noland, vice president of the council and co-chairperson for project. “In addition to delivering the tabs, we will be purchasing groceries and preparing supper and snacks for the families staying at the house. Plus, we always help out by vacuuming and scrubbing floors.”

The Ronald McDonald House project is just one of many service projects undertaken by this group of high school teens. One of the goals of 4-H is to provide opportunities for youths to develop and use their spirit of generosity to make their community, state, country and world a better place to live.

Area high school youths interested in getting involved with 4-H Youth Council or 4-H program should contact Adair County Extension.

Malaysia prime minister: Flight ‘ended in the southern Indian Ocean’ New data shows the last location of the flight was southwest of Perth, Australia ■

BEIJING (MCT) — A grim-faced Malaysian prime minister had an emergency late-night news conference Monday, saying that the long-missing Malaysian Airlines flight 370 “ended in the southern Indian Ocean” with no hope of survivors.

Najib Razak said his conclusion was based on new data from the British satellite company Inmarsat, identifying the last known location of the flight as southwest of Perth, Australia.

“This is a remote location far from any possible landing sites. It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you, that according to this new data, Flight MH 370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean,” he said delivering his brief statement at the news conference in Kuala Lumpur.

Families of the passengers had been gathered

together in Kuala Lumpur and in Beijing ahead of the news conference, and there were unconfirmed reports that families had been offered a charter flight to Australia.

In Beijing, paramedics rushed to the Lido Hotel to help family members who might be overcome with grief.

Until the end, some held out faint hope that the flight, which disappeared March 8 on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, might have been hijacked, with the passengers being held somewhere for ransom.

The hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight had intensified Monday as search crews reported more sightings of possible debris in the south Indian Ocean, including two objects that could be retrieved soon by an Australian vessel.

Malaysia’s defense minister, Hishammuddin Hussein, said that a search aircraft had located two objects and that an Australian vessel, the Success, was in the vicinity.

“It is possible that the objects could be received within the next few hours, or by tomorrow morning at

the latest,” he said during a Monday evening news conference. Hishammuddin said that only a few minutes ago Australia’s prime minister had informed the prime minister of Malaysia about the development.

If retrieved, the two objects — one described as circular colored gray or green, and the other rectangular and orange — would be the first to be found in this remote section of the Indian Ocean about 1,500 miles off the coast of southwest Australia since searchers began focusing on this area Thursday. And they could provide the first physical evidence of the plane that

vanished March 8, with 239 passengers and crew on board.

In recent days there has been a growing number of satellite and aircraft sightings of objects in this area that could be wreckage from the missing jetliner.

On Monday, with Chinese and Japanese joining an Australian-led team of American and New Zealand planes, 10 military and commercial aircraft in all combed an area of about 20,000 square nautical miles in the south Indian Ocean looking for traces of Flight 370.

Earlier in the day, one of the two Chinese Ilyushin IL-76 aircraft involved in

the search reported seeing “two big floating objects with many white smaller ones scattered within a radius of several kilometers,” according to the official New China News Agency.

After the sighting was reported, the U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon plane sought to relocate the objects but was unable to do so, said the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

A Chinese vessel was steaming toward the area

to investigate and was expected to arrive in the area

by Tuesday morning, the news agency said.
