Census estimates show rapid growth in Des Moines metro area DES MOINES (AP) — The Des Moines metro area is growing quickly while most Iowa counties have declining populations, according to U.S. Census estimates released Thursday.

The Des Moines-West Des Moines metro area population reached an estimated 611,549, up 7.4 percent from the 2010 U.S. Census, according to the data.

The majority of Iowa counties — 68 of 99 — however, lost residents. Overall, Iowa’s population rose by 2 percent since 2010.

The Des Moines-West Des Moines metro area population reached an estimated 611,549, up 7.4 percent from the 2010 U.S. Census.

State Data Center, said the 2014 estimates mean Iowa has seen continuous growth since 1988.

He said Iowa’s population increases slower than other states, but that the growth has been steady and more widespread than in other areas of the country.

Illinois, for example, saw population declines of about 2 per-

cent in some western and central cities since 2010, with growth primarily focused in the Chicago, Bloomington and Champaign-Urbana metros. In comparison, Iowa saw upticks in all of its metropolitan centers.

“It’s relatively good for Iowa to have growth throughout the state rather than concentrated in only one area,” Krob said.

The data show Dallas County had a 17 percent increase, the largest among Iowa counties, followed by Johnson County at 8.7 percent and Polk County at 6.8 percent. The biggest decline was in Fremont County, where population dropped 5.6 percent.

Fremont County Auditor Joan Kirk said she expects the region’s population to continue to fall. She said whenever somebody leaves the southwestern Iowa county, the vacated land is typically converted for farming.

Body cameras for local law enforcement in the United States have become an increasingly hot topic ■

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Unlike more populated areas, body cameras for local law enforcement may not be high on the priority list. However, Creston Police Department and Union County Sheriff’s Office officials are looking into the purchase of the cameras.

“The police department and sheriff’s department, we’re working together to find what kind we want, what fits our needs the best,” said Creston Police Chief Paul Ver Meer.

“We want to get the value for what we’re paying.”

Body cameras are small devices attached to an officer’s lapel or glasses that record video and audio of Ver Meer what is happening where they are.

Body cameras in the United States have become an increasingly hot topic,

This body camera is just one example of many that local law enforcement are looking into purchasing for officers in Creston and Union County. The cameras would provide video and audio recordings of time spent with the public.

Some of the money for the cameras will be fundraised during a spaghetti dinner held 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday at First United Methodist Church, 400 N. Elm St., with a free-will donation as a cost.

and in December, U.S. President Barack Obama announced more than $250 million will be given to law enforcement across the country for the purchase of body cameras. Camera costs vary between $400 and $1,000.

Creston Police Department employs 11 officers, and Union County Sheriff’s Department employs six officers. Ver

Meer said the ideal would be for every officer to have a camera, but in reality, six would suffice.

“I think we would probably do beta testing with different types and models,” Ver Meer said. “Maybe get one or two

DES MOINES (AP) — A plan to expand access to medical marijuana in Iowa moved forward in the Senate on Thursday, though it’s unlikely to find support in the Republican-controlled House.

The legislation would make medical marijuana available to people with certain chronic diseases, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy.

Those approved by a doctor could then purchase marijuana products produced in Iowa at state-run dispensaries.

The Senate Ways and Means Committee approved a bill on Thursday. Sen. Joe Bolkcom, D-Iowa City, said he was hopeful the bill could find support in the full Senate.

“This legislation is really brought to us by patients. They’ve shown great courage to come here and try to convince us to do something that’s really hard to do,” he said.

Last year, the Legislature approved a law that allows some residents with epilepsy to use oil with an ingredient derived from marijuana for treatment. But the law did not establish an in-state program for the production and distribution of the oil.

As a result, critics say, the law is effectively useless.

Republican House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, of Hiawatha, said he did not “believe the General Assembly will do anything with medical marijuana

this year.”

Still, Sally Gaer, whose 25-year-old daughter has a severe epileptic condition, expressed optimism.

She noted that the more limited bill last year was also viewed as a long shot.

Gaer is part of a group of advocates that has been lobbying lawmakers to consider a medical marijuana program.

“I think all of the legislators need to become more educated,” said Gaer, 54. “We’re not stopping. This is the right thing for Iowa.”

Olin D. Lovig, son of Tilda (Larson) and Oscar Lovig, was born July 9, 1925, in Villisca.

Olin graduated from Villis-

fireman shoveling coal. Over the years his jobs with C.B. & Q. changed. He worked out of Saint Joseph, Mo., Pacific Junction and Council Bluffs, Iowa.

After retiring he worked for Buxton and West Auctioneer’s as a ringman.

During this time he managed a farm south of Afton.

On Oct. 29, 1939, Norman married Donella Newton in Murray. They lived in Murray, Creston, Saint Jo and then moved back to Creston.

of each and have different officers wear them for a while, see which ones they like best, which ones record in higher quality, the eases of use.”

There are between three and four Creston police officers on duty at any time on shifts of eight to nine hours.

With six cameras, there would be two spares if one breaks or has a low battery.

The cameras are rechargeable and typically last one shift, but battery life depends on if the cameras are on constantly, or just when officers are in contact with the public.

“It’s just another tool for officers to have to prevent complaints, when people know they’re on video, or there’s video of the incident,” Ver Meer said. “They tend to file fewer false complaints, like excessive force or false arrest.”

Ver Meer also said it holds officers to a higher standard as well, since they will also be on the video.

“The officer knows he’s on camera, and hopefully he behaves like he normally would, in a professional Piel manner,” Ver Meer ca High School in 1942. said.

“I think they’ll be great, not only for transparency, but also for evidence in cases,” Piel said. “It’ll help if they (officers) have to go to court.”

Issues with the cameras include right to privacy and open records laws. Those against the use of body cameras argue that the videos could be open to the public and depict situations that some people would want kept private.

“How would you feel if at three in the morning you called a police officer, and I come to your house, and I have my camera on,” Ver Meer said. “We aren’t going to see people at their best.

They’re not going to be acting their best. You know, is that public record? Can your neighbor request that video?”

Another drawback to the body cameras is the cost. The cameras themselves have a set cost, but law enforcement departments may also need to purchase software for the cameras, as well as storage for the video.

Currently, local officers have in-car video systems, which record what is happening directly in front of the vehicle, and has audio recording up to 100 yards away.

“They’re always handy (cameras),” Ver Meer said.

“OWIs, you get video proof of the vehicle driving. People say stuff, you know, spontaneous utterances when you arrest somebody. ... So, yeah, they’re very beneficial.”

However, making a law enforcement officer’s job safer

may not be in the cards for the cameras.

“If a person knows they’re on video, might they act more calmly? Probably. But, is it one of those things where, do you remember to turn the camera on every time you get out of the car?” Ver Meer said. “Is it going to make our job safer? I would say it’s going to be hard to determine.

It’s the officer’s responsibility to use proper tactics and

make sure that they’re safe.”

In the end, Ver Meer said body cameras are just another tool for officers to use in their day-to-day jobs, something they can use for court documentation or possible safety issues.

“The officers are still going to do their job professionally and with respect to the public we serve,” Ver Meer said.

“It’s just another tool that we’ll have.”

Wendy Ford, Iowa City’s economic development coordinator, said she attributes the increase in part to being home to the University of Iowa, but also to the city’s efforts to make it a desirable place to live and work.

“Iowa City isn’t the most well-known to people across the country, but once they get here, they realize what we have to offer,” she said.

Krob said he expects Iowa to follow a similar pattern of slow, general growth moving forward, “barring

any unforeseen stances.”

to purchase a new thermal imaging camera. This year, Gallo said, the church wanted to reach out to another agency in the area.

“There is a wave of animosity against policemen in the United States of America right now,” Gallo said.

“We believe, as a church, that we have an obligation not to criticize them, but to recognize that they are doing a difficult job, and the fact that there is no guarantee that they go back to their families alive.”

Dinner will be served from 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday at First United Methodist Church, 400 N. Elm St. The cost is a free-will donation.

“We distributed flyers, we went to the radio station to announce it. We are inviting our friends and neighbors, and we hope the community comes to support that,” Gallo said.

well for himself in the frontier. He eventually acquired 1,400 acres near Paris in central Kentucky, but later parceled it off and sold it, Penix said. Joshua Penix eventually became a plantation owner in Virginia.

Curtis Penix started his own journey on March 10 near Kingsport, Tennessee — the same place where Boone’s group left in March 1775. Penix followed the famous frontiersman’s route into Virginia and through Cumberland Gap into Kentucky.

During his adventure, Penix slept outside, crossed rivers on foot, trudged through rain and mud and endured blistered feet.

After five days of traveling alone, Penix was joined by walking companion Givan Fox, 42, near the Virginia-Kentucky border. Fox’s father, John, is president of Friends of Boone Trace, a nonprofit group that hopes to preserve the historic route as a hiking trail and a memorial to the pioneers.

Among those welcoming Penix and Givan Fox on their arrival was Donna Jones, who said some of her ancestors were among

First United Methodist Church administration is hosting a community fundraiser for the local law enforcement via a spaghetti dinner Saturday.

The funds raised will go toward the purchase of body cameras for Creston police officers and Union County sheriff’s deputies.

“It’s part of the reformulation we are doing as a church,” said the Rev. Gideon Gallo. “We are undergoing what we call healthy church initiative, and part of that is where we can put the church to become more responsive to the needs of the community and create partnerships with other agencies. Not just churches, but other agencies that are working with people.”

In 2014, the church hosted a fundraising dinner for Creston Fire Department

Man retraces Daniel Boone’s nearly 240-mile trek to Kentucky FORT BOONESBOROUGH, Ky. (AP) — Inspired by his own family’s pioneering roots in the Kentucky wilderness, Curtis Penix walked nearly 240 miles through arduous Appalachian terrain, to follow in the footsteps of frontiersman Daniel Boone.

The Michigan steel mill worker, toting a 40-pound backpack, completed his 16-day journey Thursday following the path known as Boone Trace, which Boone and his band of axe men had carved out in March and April 1775. Penix’s trek started in Tennessee, wound into Virginia and took him to hallowed ground in Kentucky, — Fort Boonesborough, which was built after Boone and men finished the trail. The path became an important early artery for settlers heading westward.

His trip was inspired by his fifth-great grandfather, Joshua Penix, who followed Boone Trace on his way to Fort Boonesborough.

“This is where Grandpa Joshua came in 1779,” Penix said. “So he would have been right here somewhere in this little area.”

the settlers at Fort Boonesborough. Their names are among those etched on a monument honoring the pioneers.

“Anybody that would spend this many days to get here certainly has an understanding of what our ancestors did to make all of this available to us now,” Jones said. “I just think that’s a wonderful for someone to do, to raise our level of awareness.”

At the start of his trip, Penix said, he was determined to “rough it,” just like the pioneers.

On his first day, he waded across seven streams and rivers on foot, including one that was knee deep.

The foot blisters were enough to dissuade him

from river crossings and onto bridges.

He endured steady rain during his first four days. At the end of one day, he started shivering uncontrollably, he said.

His attitude changed after a park ranger told him the pioneers stopped at settlements for food, warm places to sleep and to resupply before reaching the Kentucky wilderness. After that, he said, he accepted the generosity of people offering meals and places to sleep, including carports and garages.

With help from historical groups, Penix charted the most faithful route for his journey. Penix said he got lost just once, on a Virginia mountainside.

Where does the school zone end?

Dear Heloise: Everyone has to drive through a SCHOOL ZONE at some point or another, and I drive through several on my daily commute. Most have signs that designate where school zones start and stop. But how do you know when a school zone ends if there is no sign?

— Eilene in Texas Good question, Eilene!

Most school zones should have signs designating where the school zone ends. If it does not, here is a hint: Look to see where the school-zone sign is posted when driving the other direction. That should be where the zone stops.

If you know that there normally is a sign to designate where the school zone ends, you might want to contact your city and make it aware that the sign is missing or damaged.

It is important to drive carefully whenever you are near a school. Even before and after a school zone begins and ends, there may be children walking or biking to school.

Those children who live in the neighborhoods located directly next to the school may not be given bus service and have to walk to school. If you know that a school is on your daily

Hints from Heloise route, take extra care to slow down, even when you’re not directly in front of the school.

Avoid any distractions, and be on the lookout for kids walking, biking or crossing the street. We wouldn’t want any accidents to happen! — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: When flying, if offered a hot towel, I use it to wipe my hands, etc. When finished, I use it to wipe down the tray table, just to make sure it is clean! — Helen, via email DOUBLE CURTAINS Dear Heloise: Our house gets very cold in the winter. In order to help keep our house warm and save on our electric bill, I hung thermal curtains

on the windows. It helped a lot, but a few rooms still were getting too cold. I bought another set of curtains for those rooms, and inexpensive tension curtain rods. I hung the second set of curtains underneath the first, using the tension rods in the window frame. The double set of curtains helped keep the house warmer without us having to crank up the heater, which helped save us money. The best part is, no one ever knew they were there, because they couldn’t be seen! — Kellie, via email PHONE MESSAGE Dear Heloise: I wanted to make sure that I hopefully would be contacted by the finder in case I ever lost my cellphone. I typed a mes- BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker sage on my computer (or you can write it on a piece of paper). It said, “If found, please contact,” and had my email address and land-line phone number. I printed out the message and then took a photo of the message with my phone’s camera. I then set it as the lock screen on my phone. It is the first thing anyone will see on my phone. — P.F. in California (c)2015 by King Features BLONDIE® by Dean Young Syndicate Inc.

Horoscope Saturday, March 28, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your focus continues to be on home, family and domestic matters.

In fact, even though this is Saturday, you might just want to cocoon at home. It happens.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a social, busy, fun-loving day. Get out there and run errands, talk to siblings, take short trips and enjoy the company of others. It’s a good day for study and reading as well.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You will enjoy being among familiar surroundings, especially things you own, today.

You might want to clean, repair or organize your possessions.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, which can make you more emotional than usual.

However, it also can increase your good luck — just a little bit. (Every bit helps.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Work alone or behind the scenes today to get the most benefit for your efforts. Keep a low profile; then explore fun times. You will want to have fun tonight!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A conversation with a female friend could be important today. This is a good day to tell others what your hopes and dreams for the future are so that you can hear their feedback.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Personal details about your private life might be made public today. This looks minor; nevertheless, be aware that this is happening. You might have to do some damage control.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You want adventure and a chance to learn something new today. Primarily, you want a change of scenery! Go someplace you’ve never been before. Shake it up a little.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Issues about inheritances, shared property, insurance matters, taxes and debt are your focus today. Clean up loose details if you can, to get ahead of the game.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your focus will be on partners and close friends today.

Furthermore, you will have to compromise when dealing with others, because the moon is opposite your sign.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Today you are concerned with health issues, or issues related to pets, or just a general desire to get better organized. You want to improve your world.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a fun-loving, playful, flirtatious day! Enjoy the arts, the theater, sports, fun activities with children and romance.

YOU BORN TODAY You are an independent person who has amazing focus for what-

ever you do. Your friends are loyal to you because you value them. A major decision will arise this year. Save your money in the first half of the year and reduce expenses, because this will make things easier for you later in the year.

Happiness is having alternatives.

Pelosi irks some allies over bipartisan bill with Boehner WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi bruised some longtime liberal allies when she worked with Speaker John Boehner to craft a rare bipartisan accord on Medicare.

But law- Pelosi makers say it will enhance her stature as a dealmaker, and may help her party avoid being sidelined by majority Republicans over the next two years.

Pelosi and her fellow Democrats disappointed friends in the abortion-rights lobby by backing a bill to avoid future cuts in Medicare physician payments.

As Thursday’s 392- Boehner 37 House vote suggests, the bill was a compromise, with appeal to both parties.

Democrats boasted it would extend the Children’s Health Insurance Program for two years, and increase federal matching rates for states. But it also would reinforce abortion restrictions at community health centers, a GOP priority that abortion-rights groups strongly oppose.

For that reason, many Senate Democrats, including their leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, called the bill unacceptable earlier this month.

By then, however, Pelosi was deep into negotiations with Boehner, an Ohio Republican.

The standoff was politically strange: Pelosi, the 15-term liberal hero and unquestioned defender of abortion rights, seemed less adamant about the topic than did Reid, who came to Washington 31 years ago as an abortion opponent.

Reid announced Friday he will not seek re-election next year.

President Barack Obama further weakened Reid’s position Wednesday, when he called the bill a good bipartisan agreement. Lawmakers said Senate passage seems probable though timing was uncertain.

Pelosi’s allies defended her trade-off. They say she

Public notice Airport Zoning Update Union County is preparing to adopt an Airport Zoning Ordinance to bring it into conformance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) Office of Aviation regulations. The current ordinance restricts the height of vegetation (trees) and buildings around the airport and in the airport's flight path. The new ordinance would still regulate those items and would also apply certain regulations on the use of land in relation to its location to the airport, such as restricting multi-storied apartment buildings near runway ends.

The proposed ordinance would apply to land both in the City and County.

There will be an informational meeting that will be held at the Union County Courthouse in the Board of Supervisors Room on March 30th at 10:00 am. This meeting is free, open to the public, and anyone is welcome to attend. A copy of the proposed zoning ordinance and zoning map are available at www.sicog.com. Links to those documents can be found on the front page under Featured Publications, or can be found by hovering over the Resources dropdown menu and clicking on Current Publications. Paper copies of both documents will also be available in the City Clerk's Office at Creston City Hall.

Public questions and comments, which are welcome and encouraged, can be given at the informational meeting or directed to Chris Lee - Southern Iowa Council of Governments at PO Box 102 - 101 East Montgomery Street Creston, IA 50801, 641.782.8491, or lee@sicog.com. Comments will be accepted through April 10th.

inflicted a nonfatal wound to one constituency in exchange for proving that Boehner can — and sometimes must — turn to Democrats for crucial votes he can’t get from his hard-right, “hell no” caucus of conservative purists.

The outcome should show that Boehner is “willing to work with Democrats rather than try to placate the tea party base,” said Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California. Democrats dislike the bill’s abortion restrictions, he said, “but unfortunately it’s been part of the necessary give and take” in spending bills for years.

Several Democrats said the abortion restrictions are disappointing but not deal-killers for liberal groups such as Planned Parenthood and NARAL. “Long-term, that’s not a wedge between these various groups,” said Rep. John Larson, D-Conn. He said Pelosi and Rep. Diana DiGette of Colorado, both well-known supporters of abortion access, defused the issue this month by patiently explaining, in closed Democratic caucus meetings, that the Medicare bill’s language would change current law only slightly.

Lawmakers warn that the new bipartisan dynamic could be short-lived, especially when Congress confronts tougher issues such as raising the debt ceiling. For now, however, the Pelosi-Boehner cooperation lessens the tea party’s influence and gives House Democrats hope for a bigger voice in tax policy and trade, among other things.

House members and aides say bipartisan staff talks, from a few months ago, revealed that both parties wanted a better solution to the annual problem of deep cuts scheduled for Medicare payments to doctors.

Senate OKs Republican balanced-budget plan, following House Working into Friday’s pre-dawn hours, senators approved the blueprint by a near party-line 52-46 vote, endorsing a measure that closely follows one the House passed Wednesday.

■

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans muscled a balanced-budget plan through the Senate early Friday, positioning Congress for months of battling President Barack Obama over the GOP’s goals of slicing spending and dismantling his health care law.

Working into Friday’s pre-dawn hours, senators approved the blueprint by a near party-line 52-46 vote, endorsing a measure that closely follows one the House passed Wednesday. Both budgets embody a conservative vision of shrinking projected federal deficits by more than $5 trillion over the coming decade, mostly by cutting health care and other benefit programs and without raising taxes.

The Senate was beginning a spring recess after approving the measure, leaving Congress’ two GOP-run chambers to negotiate a compromise budget in mid-April.

The legislation is a non-binding blueprint that does not require Obama’s signature but lays the groundwork for future bills that seem destined for veto fights with the president.

“Republicans have shown that the Senate is under new management and delivering on the change and responsible government the American people expect,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Democrats viewed the document differently, saying it relied on gimmickry and touted the wrong priorities.

“The budget we passed today is irresponsible and fails to effectively invest in our future,” said Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md.

“Republicans have shown that the Senate is under new management and delivering on the change and responsible government the American people expect.”

The budget’s solidly ideological tenor contrasted with a bipartisan bill the House overwhelmingly approved Thursday permanently blocking perennial cuts in physicians’ Medicare fees. It too will wait until April for final congressional approval by the Senate, with McConnell saying his chamber will handle it “very quickly when we get back.”

Though doctors face a 21 percent cut in Medicare fees April 1, the government can delay processing those payments until Congress’ return.

The measure, which also provides money for health care programs for children and low-income people, would be partly financed with higher premiums for top-earning Medicare recipients.

On the budget, only two Republicans voted no: Sens.

Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky, a pair of presidential hopefuls. Two other potential GOP presidential candidates, Sens.

struction, preschools and community colleges and veterans.

The Senate budget would cut $4.3 trillion from benefit programs over the next 10 years, including annulling Obama’s health care law, a step the president would without doubt veto.

Those savings would include $431 billion from Medicare, matching Obama’s figure. The House budget would pare $148 billion from the health care program for the elderly and convert it into a voucher-like program for future beneficiaries, a step the Senate shunned.

The Senate budget would cut $236 billion from the budgets of nondefense agencies.

The House would go even further, slicing $759 billion.

Democratic leadership lineup between his top two deputies, Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois.

Schumer, the third-ranking Democrat, issued a statement praising Reid for “his strength, his legislative acumen, his honesty and his determination.”

Reid, in his statement, also mentioned the Jan. 1 exercising accident that left him badly bruised and struggling to regain sight in his right eye, saying it gave him time to think about his political future.

“We’ve got to be more concerned about the country, the Senate, the state of Nevada than about ourselves,” Reid said. “And as a result of that I’m not going to run for re-election.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid announced Friday he will not seek re-election to another term, saying he wanted to focus on bringing Democrats back to power in the Senate rather than his own re-election.

Reid, 75, said in a statement that it would be “inappropriate for me to soak up all those resources when I could be devoting those resources to the caucus, and that’s what I intend to do.”

Reid, first elected to the Senate in 1986, was considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats in a swing state. He turned back a challenge in 2010.

His announcement is sure to set in motion a scramble in the Senate’s

n d a y s

lion for next year, a 4.5 percent boost over current levels. Some conservatives were unhappy because they wanted more of the extra military spending to be offset with savings from elsewhere in the budget.

But mostly, the Republican blueprints diverge starkly from Obama’s fiscal plan.

While his leaves a projected deficit exceeding $600 billion 10 years from now, the Senate plan claims a surplus of $3 billion.

Over the decade, Obama would raise $2 trillion in higher taxes from the wealthy, corporations and smokers while granting tax breaks to low-income and middle-class families. He would boost spending on domestic programs including road con-

How much salt do you need for a healthy diet?

(BPT) — Mothers everywhere understand that the food kids eat is more than just a collection of nutrients arranged on a plate. “Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and in moderation” has been sage motherly advice for a long time.

Unfortunately, conflicting information from a variety of sources can make it difficult to follow Mom’s good advice. For example, consider one nutrient that’s essential for life yet often gets a bum rap - salt.

The average American eats about 3,400 mg per day of sodium, according to The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

You may have heard that this is too much, but according to new research it may actually be on the low side of the healthy range.

A 2014 study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, tested sodium

consumption in more than 100,000 people in 17 countries. The study found that the healthy range for sodium consumption was between 3,000 and 7,000 mg per day. Eating more than 7,000 mg per day of sodium increases your risk of death or cardiovascular incidents, but not as much as eating less than 3,000 mg per day. The low salt diet was

significantly more harmful than the high salt diet.

These results are not as surprising as they seem.

Another study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association three years earlier, found the same results. This study measured the sodium intake of more than 3,500 people for the better part of a decade. Researchers

discovered that low sodium diets were much more likely to result in death from cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Michael Alderman and Dr. Hillel Cohen of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine reviewed 23 observational studies covering some 360,000 individuals and published their comprehensive results in the July 2012 edition of

the American Journal of Hypertension. They also found that both the very low and very high levels of salt consumption negatively affected health, but in between those extremes, a very broad safe range of salt consumption resulted in optimum health. Based on this research, American average salt consumption is already in the safe range.

Long before the advent of refrigeration, people used salt to preserve food.

The salt in your diet also acts as a natural antibiotic to fight infection. A recent study on salt published in the academic journal Cell Metabolism shows how this works. Researchers found that salt is stored in the skin cells and whenever there is an infection, the body concentrates its salt reservoir in that spot. The salt increases the capacity of immune cells to kill microbes and a higher salt diet

means more salt is stored in your skin cells. In fact, researchers found that mice fed a high salt diet healed much faster than mice on a low salt diet.

It is well documented that the Japanese and the Swiss enjoy some of the longest life expectancy rates of anyone in the world. It is less known however, that they also have among the highest rates of salt consumption. Comparing the available data on salt consumption and longevity around the world indicates that if people were to actually consume the low levels of salt recommended in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, their life expectancy figures could drop dramatically.

As it turns out, moms have been giving out better advice than the government for decades - a well-balanced diet is key, and there is no need to sweat the small stuff.

When oil and water do mix: health alert When you hear the phrase “Those two go together like oil and water,” you know they don’t get along. But what if you had to make them compatible? To do that for oil and water, what’s needed is an emulsifier, a binding agent that keeps everything wellmixed. Today the list of foods that contain fat-stabilizing, shelf-life-extending, texture-enhancing emulsifiers could fill a big box store (oh, wait, they do!).

From cooking sprays and butter substitutes to softserve and hard ice creams, bottled sauces, candy bars and baked goods, emulsifiers keep unlikely pairings together for fun and profit.

But, it turns out, when manufacturers mess with your food by adding emulsifiers, your metabolism, endocrine system and digestive tract become a mess.

A new study in the journal Nature found two commonly used emulsifiers, carboxymethylcellulose and polysorbate 80, seem to change the balance of gut bacteria and damage the mucus lining of the intestines in lab animals. For some, emulsifiers caused pro-inflammatory bacteria to move from the gut into the body -- bad news for the immune system. For others, they produced intestinal inflammation, leading to obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes. And, the researchers say, “the broad use of emulsifying agents might be contributing to ... [peoples’ development of] obesity/ metabolic syndrome and other chronic inflammatory diseases.” This is just one more reason to avoid products containing the Five Food Felons (all added

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

sugars and syrups, any grain that isn’t 100 percent whole, all trans fats and most saturated fats) and to skip prepared and processed foods; they often contain emulsifiers.

HAND-WASHING DISHES IS GOOD FOR YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, a superstar on “Iron Chef America,” once said: “Japanese chefs believe our soul goes into our knives once we start using them. You wouldn’t put your soul in a dishwasher!”

He’s right; that modern utility isn’t very soulful, but for a newly discovered and surprising reason. A Swedish study found that kids who grow up in households using dishwashers are more likely to develop allergies, eczema and asthma than kids in households where dishes are hand-washed.

(In the same vein, another study found that if parents clean off their kid’s pacifier by sucking on it, the children develop fewer allergies.)

The researchers followed over 1,000 7- and 8-yearolds. They found that 38 percent of kids whose parents had dishwashers reported eczema, while only 23 percent of hand-washers did. And in dishwasher families, 7.3 percent of the kids developed asthma, while only 1.7 percent of kids in hand-washing families did.

Why? Well, it could be another vote for the hygiene

hypothesis. That theory says our lack of exposure to microbes makes us susceptible to autoimmune disease, allergies, etc. Perhaps a dishwasher’s wash-and-dry cycles don’t leave any immune-system-strengthening germs on dishes for us to ingest.

But we’re not saying you should give up your dishwasher (it may be soulless, but it sure is convenient); just don’t get oversanitized.

Lose the antibacterial soaps and household cleaners; they trigger antibiotic resistance, and their chemicals often include hormone disruptors! Trust your immune system. Soap, water and elbow grease to do a fine job.

“D” IS FOR “DIABETES” (VITAMIN D, THAT IS) The 1991 film “Night on Earth” tells the story of five taxi rides in five locations around the world, from Los Angeles to Rome. In it, most characters, including Corky (Winona Ryder) and Angela (Rosie Perez), seem determined to avoid the light of day. That’s something familiar to the 1 billion people across the globe who don’t have healthy levels of vitamin D because of lack of exposure to the sun.

The repercussions of low D are significant: D regulates the function of more than 200 genes that control growth and development; deficiency has been linked to obesity, hypertension, depression, osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s disease. It

also might contribute to development of breast, prostate and colon cancers. And now it seems that low D is more likely to contribute to Type 2 diabetes than being overweight! (And we know that is a major risk factor.)

Spanish researchers looked at folks (some lean, some obese) and found two things: Lean people with diabetes had lower D levels than lean folks without diabetes; and obese people without diabetes had higher levels of vitamin D than obese people with diabetes.

So for a diabetes-free health plan, in addition to maintaining a healthy weight, eating plenty of fresh produce and walking 10,000 steps a day -- get your vitamin D levels checked and take 1,000 IU of D-3 a day. If you’re D-ficient, bring it up with extra supplements and 15 minutes of sunshine daily. Remember, sunscreen doesn’t interfere with your body making vitamin D, but night on Earth does!

PREVENTING PEANUT ALLERGIES When Mark Drew painted Peanuts comic-strip characters mouthing rap lyrics

by Public Enemy, Notorious B.I.G. and others, some folks thought it made the Peanuts too menacing. (Picture Lucy saying, “My posse is always ready, and they’re waiting in my zone.”)

Now there’s a plan for how to make real peanuts less menacing: A new study found that the best way to PREVENT potentially life-threatening peanut allergy is to let infants and young kids under age 5 have a little bit of the pure legume and its proteins (the allergic part) as part of their

regular diet.

The researchers followed two groups of infants at high risk for developing peanut allergy; they had severe eczema, egg allergy or both. The 4- to 11-monthold children who were fed peanuts had an 81 percent reduction in the incidence of peanut allergy (13.7 percent of kids in the “no-peanuts-for-you” group developed the allergy; only 1.9 percent of the kids who ate peanuts did). It makes you wonder if AVOIDING peanuts is what has caused the number of kids with peanut allergies to double in the past decade!

So what does this mean to parents? Researchers excluded kids (through a scratch test) who might already be allergic to peanuts, and you should do the same. If everything checks out, talk with your doctor about following the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendation: “Highly allergenic foods can be started in small doses at home once other foods such as grains and vegetables are tolerated.” Then, avoid peanut products loaded with sugar and emulsifiers. Opt for the pure stuff!

GET HOT (OR NOT)?

You may agree with Maxim, Ranker and People magazines that James Franco, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry and Scarlett Johansson are the hottest celebrities around. But when it comes to being hot and steamy, nothing beats a Finnish sauna of 175 to 212 F. In a new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, researchers tracked 2,300 middle-aged Finnish men for an average of 20

years and found that guys who used the sauna four to seven times a week had 48 percent to 63 percent less risk of heart-related death and stroke. Spending more than 19 minutes per session was associated with the most heart benefits. It’s true that this study doesn’t show conclusively that using a sauna was why the guys were heart-healthier (those who tolerated it might have been healthier to start out with). But if it were a randomized, controlled trial, reinforced by other findings, we could then say that using a sauna four to seven times weekly for 30 minutes makes your RealAge about six years younger!

So, should you start getting baked regularly?

First, check with your doctor, particularly if you have high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes.

Then, start in a cooler sauna, around 150 F and for only a few minutes. Always make sure you are well-hydrated BEFORE you go into the sauna, and drink 16 ounces of water after you get out. Don’t drink alcohol and dry roast -- ever! Then, enjoy the fun of the sauna and try singing your own version of Buster Poindexter’s “Hot, Hot, Hot!” *** 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.

THE NUMBERS GAME

Kentucky’s 78-39 win over West Virginia Thursday marked the first time a team has doubled up its opponent in the Sweet 16.

NATIONAL DIGEST

‘Cats roll CLEVELAND (AP) — Like a massive, unstoppable blue wave, Kentucky hit quickly and just kept coming. There was no escape for West Virginia, no place to hide.

Trey Lyles scored 14 points, Andrew Harrison added 13 and the unbeaten Wildcats, chasing history and a ninth national title, made their 37th straight win look easy, blowing past the Mountaineers 78-39 on Thursday night in the Midwest Regional semifinals of the NCAA Tournament.

“They were what I thought they were,” West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said. “That’s the best defensive team I think that I’ve ever coached against. And when they’re making shots, there’s nobody going to beat them.”

The tourney’s top seed and an overwhelming favorite to cut down the nets next month in Indianapolis, the Wildcats (37-0) jumped to an 18-2 lead, built it to 26 in the first half and advanced to Saturday’s regional final to play third-seeded Notre Dame, an 81-70 winner over Wichita State.

Irish win CLEVELAND (AP) — Demetrius Jackson scored 20 points and third-seeded Notre Dame blitzed the Wichita State Shockers in the second half of a surprisingly easy 81-70 victory Thursday night in the Midwest Regional semifinal to advance to the Elite Eight for the first time in 36 years.

The Irish (32-5) shot 75 percent (18 of 24) over the final 20 minutes, overwhelming the seventh-seeded Shockers (30-5) with a barrage of 3-pointers, expert cuts to the basket and enough fancy passing to fill an And-One mixtape.

The 38-18 burst that turned a tight game into something else entirely came after Wichita State took its first and only lead on a layup by Darius Carter with 16:37 to go. Jackson drilled a 3-pointer on Notre Dame’s next trip down then added another one moments later.

Pat Connaughton added 16 points and 10 rebounds for Notre Dame and Jerian Grant had nine points and 11 assists as the Irish won their eighth straight.

Notre Dame will play top-ranked and unbeaten Kentucky on Saturday night with a Final Four spot on the line.

Arizona advances LOS ANGELES (AP) — Just when Arizona appeared to be in serious trouble against underdog Xavier, T.J. McConnell sparked his Wildcats back to the brink of the Final Four.

McConnell scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half, freshman Stanley Johnson added 12 points, and second-seeded Arizona made a dominant late rally for a 68-60 victory over sixth-seeded Xavier in the West Regional semifinals on Thursday night.

SPORTS An elite athletic program runs under the state radar The Creston/O-M wrestling team went 17-0 in regular season duals —winning the Hawkeye 10 for the sixth time since 2006 — and claimed tournament championships at Dallas Center-Grimes, Central Decatur, Centerville, John J. Harris in Corning, Panther Invitational, sectionals and districts.

Yet, it took most of the season to get ranked in the top 10 of the dual rankings, with an opportunity to host dual regionals, and the Panthers never got ranked in the top 10 as a tournament team.

Nonetheless, at state they were in the middle of a four-way battle for the Class 2A championship, after placing fourth at state duals, and were tied with Union for first place until Mediapolis passed them both by winning the title match at 195 pounds. Creston/O-M tied Union for second place in the final standings.

That was all accomplished, by the way, without the services of senior state qualifier Tayler Pettit, who was 42-11 with 30 falls. He was sidelined by a near-fatal episode with a heart defect suffered during state duals.

So, it’s understandable if coach Darrell Frain went out of character at Tuesday night’s banquet and blew the horn a little bit of a program that’s been dominant in southwest Iowa for pretty much a decade.

The Panthers started the season well below the top 10 in dual rankings, but finally worked up to No. 5 by the time of state duals, where they dominated No. 4 Independence, 37-18. They closed with their only two defeats of the season to state champion Union and to Mediapolis to finish fourth.

Perhaps Creston/O-M’s long run of success was getting overlooked statewide, or at the very least taken for granted. So, Frain sounded the horn a little bit Tuesday with two media members in the audience.

“The ratings was part of it, certainly,” Frain said the next day. “It was so frustrating as a coach. You’d get on message boards, and they’re talking about everybody else, but nobody was giving us any recognition. I just Frain

thought maybe it’s time to get the word out there that we’re doing some pretty good things here, with some high character kids.”

Frain noted the team had the school’s second-best grade point average last year among all athletic squads, and received the state’s highest academic recognition. He’s still awaiting word on this year’s awards. However, six team members are nominated for academic all-state and three seniors qualified for the Hawkeye 10 all-academic winter sports team — Alex Fargo, Pettit and manager Tanner Webb.

It’s been an incredible run, practically the likes of Harlan football during its heyday.

• Eleven times in the state duals, including reaching the state semifinals six of the past nine years. No other sport in Creston comes close to that standard, although boys golf in recent years has been among the state’s elite, including a championship.

• Champion of the dual and individual state tournaments in 2007. Second in the dual tourney in 2008 and 2011, with other recent placings of fourth, sixth, fourth and fourth.

• Class 2A traditional state finishes, besides winning it in 2007, of third in 2003, 2004 and 2006; and second in 2008 and 2015.

• Hawkeye 10 dual championships in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2014 and 2015. Conference tournament titles in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. Also, four straight John J Harris championships, which is the premier regular season tournament in southwest Iowa.

• At least one wrestler in the finals for 13 of Frain’s 15 years as head coach. Sophomore Chase Shiltz was the 2A 160-pound champion this year after taking second at 145 as a freshman; and senior Spencer Wray was runner-up at 138 pounds.

But it wasn’t like this in the beginning. When Frain took over as head coach after serving as an assistant, it was a program in good shape in terms of quality individuals always making a

good run at state. He wanted to find a way to get the team as a whole into that lofty realm.

“At the beginning, we just couldn’t beat Winterset,” Frain said. “No matter how good we thought we were, something would happen against them and they’d beat us.”

That must be how the likes of Lewis Central, Atlantic, Glenwood and Clarinda feel now. They’ve brought teams deep in talent into the jammed, hot Panther gym, and left defeated in recent years. Atlantic is particularly snake-bit in regional dual finals. One year, the Trojans and Panthers were separated and both ended up at state duals.

So, my question to Frain was why has this consistent high performance standard held true for so long?

There’s not one clear-cut answer, but instead a lot of little factors that add up to the big picture.

Youth program One, for sure, was that as a father of two young wrestlers when he took over the high school program, Frain had a vested interest in the program started by Mark Loudon. He and other high school coaches played an active part in taking that program even a step farther. He credits those early volunteers with laying the foundation of what is now a premier youth program, mostly organized by Dennis Leith.

Guys like Jer Osgood, Todd Stephenson and Nick Hemann (now head coach at New Hampton), bought into the linkage of the youth pro-

gram to the high school program they worked in.

And, steady forces like Dannie Stephens and current coaches Jeff Sand and Casey Tanner work with the middle schoolers to get them ready for high school. And when they put on a high school singlet with that “C” on it, it’s amazing how many times they beat kids they lost to in previous years.

There’s an air of confidence in being a Panther now.

But that’s not all. Frain was a high school wrestler, but didn’t have the collegiate credentials of the likes of his current assistants Cody Downing, Eric Ehlen and Matt Long. So he became a sponge of knowledge and technique from the highest levels he could learn from.

A fellow Carson-Macedonia graduate, Brad Canoyer, was an All-American wrestler at Nebraska, and Frain learned from that program, observing their practices.

The same with former Lewis Central standout Keith Massey, as he ran the prestigious Golden Eagles club in Council Bluffs, which attracted some Creston kids.

Then, Panther graduate Dylan Long wrestled at Northern Iowa, placing second in the nation one year, and Frain observed some of the coaching

Spartans swept by Top-seeded Wisconsin hangs on 7th-ranked DMACC to beat North Carolina 79-72

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

Errors plagued the Southwestern Community College softball team here Thursday in a doubleheader sweep at the hands of 7th-ranked DMACC. The Bears won the first game of the two-game set 8-2 and then held on for an 11-8 win in the second game of the doubleheader.

Southwestern dropped to 7-5 overall and 2-2 in ICCAC Division II play with the losses, while DMACC improved to 20-5 overall and 6-0 in conference play.

“Two bad innings, one in each game,” Southwestern head coach Lindsay Stumpff said. “Second game, we basically fought back. That’s what we’ve been doing lately. That seems to be the fad.”

After DMACC took a 9-0 lead on the Spartans, thanks to a six-run first inning aided by four Spartan errors, Southwestern fought back with three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Gabby DuBois started things off with a base hit and then Katrina DeVore hit a two-run home run.

E m m a F e r i n made it b a c k to-back h o m e DeVore runs with a solo blast to cut the lead to 9-3.

DMACC extended its

lead to 11-3 in the sixth inning, before Southwestern caught fire at the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Tiernee Fichter got the rally started with a double, followed by a Brennan Banks double. Mel Stevens then hit a double. Lexi Herbert drove in a run to cut the lead to 11-8, after the Spartans had added a run in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Down three, the Spartans had a chance to win the game with the bases loaded and Ferin at the plate, but the Southwestern sophomore grounded out to end the game.

“First inning they scored six runs and I’d say four of them were off of errors,” Stumpff said. “You take those four errors away and it’s a different ballgame.”

Malory Christiansen took the loss in the circle for the Spartans. Stumpff said Christiansen pitched well, but the defensive problems were too much to overcome.

It was a similar story in the opening game of the doubleheader, as DMACC took a 2-0 lead early on a two-run home run.

Southwestern answered back, tying the game at 2-2 after a Ferin solo home run and an RBI base hit

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Wisconsin looked like a beaten team for much of the game.

Frank Kaminsky got off to a slow start, his team couldn’t make a shot in the first half and then fell behind by seven midway through the second half.

It looked like a repeat of the Big Ten Conference title game, when the Badgers were left for road kill against Michigan State before coming back to win in overtime.

The top-seeded Badgers again proved their grit, rallying in the final 10 minutes to hold off North Carolina 79-72 Thursday night and advance to the final eight of the NCAA Tournament.

Sam Dekker had a career-high 23 points and 10 rebounds, Kaminsky added 19 and Nigel Hayes 12 to send Dekker Wisconsin (34-3) into the West Regional final Saturday against No. 2 seed Arizona, which beat sixth-seeded Xavier 68-60. Wisconsin beat Arizona in overtime last season in the Elite Eight.

“The toughness that they showed today was really something,” North Carolina coach Roy Williams said.

“It’s strange, the difference between winning and losing is so small.”

Marcus Paige hit consecutive 3-pointers that drew Carolina within one with 54 seconds to go, but Wisconsin made all eight of its free

throws — four by Kaminsky — over the closing seconds.

“Everyone knows that once we get to free throw time at the end of the game, we’ve got to make our free throws or they’re going to come down and score,” Kaminsky said. “We’ve been through that a lot this season with situations like that. So it’s just nice to be able to go out there and do it.”

Zak Showalter came off the bench to score six points in the Badgers’ 19-7 comeback run after they were forced into tough positions

by Carolina’s perimeter defense.

“The plays he made for us in that two-minute span, we wouldn’t have won without them,” Hayes said. “This was similar to the Michigan State game except it didn’t go to overtime. We weren’t really playing our type of basketball. We were letting them have their way and their will. All we needed was a couple plays to get us going.”

The teams shot exactly the same — 46 percent — for the game, but the Badgers improved to 58 percent in the second half and made 20 of 23 free throws to keep their hopes of a second straight Final Four berth alive.

“These guys have been through a lot. They’ve seen the good runs. They’ve seen the bad runs,” Badgers coach Bo Ryan said. “But this group never gets discouraged to the point where they get down on themselves or their teammates, and that’s what’s fun.”

Brice Johnson and Justin Jackson scored 15 points each for the fourth-seeded Tar Heels (26-12), who got

within one with 4:21 remaining but couldn’t retake the lead. Paige finished with 12 points.

“We wanted to pressure them and not allow them to be comfortable, and we did that for the most part,” Paige said. “The problem was we couldn’t finish our defense on key possessions.”

The Tar Heels appeared to have the game in hand when they were up by seven and Kaminsky went down with his hands covering his eyes, having gotten hit by Isaiah Hicks.

Turns out “Frank the Tank” was just getting his team revved up.

With Kaminsky on the bench, the Badgers launched the 19-7 run that put them back in front, 6560. Kaminsky quickly returned to hit a 3-pointer, and Showalter scored four straight, including a layup off his own steal, putting the red-clad Wisconsin fans in full-throated cheers.

“It’s just great to have so many voices understanding what needs to happen and what we need to do out on the court, which was getting stops,” Kaminsky said, “and then coming down and getting good, easy looks at the bucket and we were able to do so.”

Carolina’s Kennedy Meeks returned from a sprained left knee last weekend to bother Kaminsky early before getting in foul trouble.

Trailing by one, the Tar Heels outscored the Badgers 14-6 to take their largest lead, 53-46. Berry and Hicks had four apiece while the Badgers struggled to make a shot.

Outdoor news Holiday campsites Campers anxious to reserve spots for the Fourth of July weekend should mark April 3 on their calendars, when reservations for a Friday arrival open.

Electric sites go quickly, and some sites will already be reserved by campers arriving prior to the holiday weekend.

Information on Iowa’s state parks is available online at www.iowadnr.gov including links to the reservations page.

Turkey season Iowa’s turkey flock had an excellent hatch in 2014 leading to the possibility that hunters should see increased opportunities to harvest a bird during the 2015 spring turkey season.

The younger birds, called Jakes, are often more vulnerable, responding to calls in groups and competing among themselves to see which one can get to the call first. The older Toms are can be more cautious and reluctant to respond to the sirens temptations.

“We’re still seeing good groups of turkeys in winter flocks, but they will be breaking up soon as we head into the breeding season,” said Jim Coffey, forest wildlife species technician for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

Iowa has turkeys in every county with higher numbers being found in areas where there is a more diversified mixture of timber with agriculture.

Coffey, who participates in spring turkey hunting seminars geared toward first time and novice hunters, said confidence is key and that confidence comes from talking to other turkey hunters, spending time in the woods and learning from your mistakes.

“The number one piece of advice I can give is to pattern your gun before going out.

This is the sport of one shot – you need to know what that shot will be when you pull the trigger,” he said. “Don’t get hung up on calling – but understand when to call. A common mistake is calling too much. You want to tease the bird. Once you call, stay put, because he knows where you are.”

Hunters can help increase their chance of harvesting a bird by sharpening woods-

manship skills; learn when to move and when to stay still, and about the biology and habits of the bird.

Coffey said turkeys have excellent vision so hunters who use the timber to blend in to the background may see more birds. He also said scouting is important. Understanding what the bird wants to do biologically is important to us as hunters.

“Watch the turkeys, understand the turkeys and realize we are playing on his home court. Position yourself between where they are, and where they want to go is a key to success,” he said.

At the end of the day, only about one-third of spring turkey hunters actually bag a turkey but most don’t use that as a measuring stick for success.

“The experience in the woods with your kids or with friends; watching the timber come alive with wildlife and the newness of spring that’s what it’s all about,” Coffey said. “It’s really something pretty special and I would hope that our turkey hunters share it by taking their neighbor or child or spouse along this year.”

Safety tips An estimated 50,000 hunters will be in the timber this spring pursuing the illusive wild turkey and while the woods will not be crawling with hunters, there is a chance for an occasional encounter.

Hunters should practice defensive hunting techniques.

Hunters should make a loud statement like “hey – hunter over here,” if they see someone coming into the same area. One loud noise shouldn’t scare a bird too much because loud noises happen in the woods. However, don’t make motion or throw something to get the other hunters attention.

“Turkey hunters are looking for movement,” said Jim Coffey, forest wildlife species technician for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. “Don’t wave your hand or make a movement because a movement could be misconstrued.

“If you walk in on someone they’re probably hearing the same bird you hear, just turn and walk away. Find a different ridge to enjoy the morning.”

The timber will change a

lot from early April to middle May reducing the distance hunters can see so it will be important that hunters continuously check their distance for their zone of fire.

“You can’t call the bullet back once your pull the trigger so it’s important to know your target and what’s beyond before taking the shot,” Coffey said.

He often recommends setting out distance stick for reference points. This allows hunters to know exactly how far away a bird is and if it’s within the weapons range.

Hunters should also respect other hunters.

“They are out there trying to do what you are going to do. The competition is between turkey and hunter – not hunter and hunter,” Coffey said.

One way to avoid walking in on other hunters is to go later in the morning.

“Rather than try to get out in the woods for the first gobble, go out a little later, like around 9 a.m., you may have the area all to yourself,” he said.

Tips: • Avoid wearing patriotic colors – red, white and blue.

These colors are also shared by gobblers.

• Bring a blaze orange game bag or turkey vest to use to carry the harvested bird out from the woods.

• Avoid using a gobble call.

• Using a hunting blind can be helpful if taking a young person on their first hunt, or for hunting companions to use.

• Make sure you have permission to be on the land and find out if anyone else has permission to the land and which season they will be hunting.

Just because you had permission a few years ago, does not mean you have permission this year.

Turkey seasons Iowa’s spring season begins April 4 with an Iowa youth only hunting season that covers two weekends and allows hunters younger than 16 when they buy the turkey license to participate.

The reason for the season is to concentrate on the development of future hunters.

They must hunt one on one with a mentor age 18 or older at all times and the mentor must have a valid turkey

hunting license for one of the spring seasons.

No more than one youth for each licensed adult mentor and the mentor may not carry a bow or firearm. An unfilled youth license may be used in any other spring season. The season ends April 12.

The first of Iowa’s four regular spring turkey seasons is April 13-16, second season is April 17-21, third season is April 22-28 and the fourth season is April 29-May 17. An archery only license is good from April 13-May 17.

Hunters may purchase two spring turkey licenses with one license for Season 4. Resident spring turkey licenses are statewide. Hunters participating in the youth only season may also purchase a Season 4 license. Shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset.

Successful hunters are required to report their harvest by midnight of the day after it is tagged. The easiest way to report is to log on to www.iowadnr.gov. Other ways to report are by calling the phone number listed on the tag or by going through a license vendor. Be sure to write the harvest registration number on the harvest report tag.

For the third consecutive spring, the Iowa football team will hold an open practice at Valley Stadium in West Des Moines. The open practice will take place at 12:30 p.m. April 11.

West and southeast gates at Valley Stadium will open at 11: 30 a.m. Tickets are not required. There will not be parking available at Valley Stadium, with the exception of limited handicap parking available in the west parking lot. The Valley Church parking lot, adjacent to Valley Stadium, will have limited public parking until 4: 30 p.m.

Concession stands within the stadium will be open. No outside food or drink will be

allowed. Iowa began spring drills on Wednesday and will host an open practice at 1 p.m. April 25 in Kinnick Stadium.

Umpire clinics As part of its officials recruiting and education program, the Iowa High School Athletic Association will be hosting free baseball umpire clinics around the state in April. Five clinics have been scheduled through the assistance of host member schools.

Two of the clinics are scheduled 6:15 to 9 p.m.

Wednesday, April 15, at Ames High School; and 6:15 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, April 29, at Denison-Schleswig High School in Denison.

Equipment needed for

the clinics: an umpire mask and umpire cap. Other items for new officials as well as veterans will be available for purchase at each site. The clinic will cover positioning for calling balls and strikes, base coverage, new rules and overall baseball umpiring mechanics.

Anyone interested in getting involved in umpiring at any level is welcome free of charge. Those desiring to umpire at the high school level, must register with the Iowa High School Athletic Association. Information can be obtained at www. iahsaa.org click on officials at the top of the page, click on online registration, fill out the paper work and use a debit or credit card to pay your dues.

KELLERTON — The annual Prairie Chicken Festival will be held at Kellerton Grasslands Bird Conservation Area, two miles west and one mile south of Kellerton, on April 4. Viewing will begin before dawn and last until the birds diminish their courtship dancing and booming, around 9 a.m.

Prairie Chickens have been reintroduced to the area and each spring their courtship dances occur where their booming calls resonate across southern Iowa hills and valleys. The site provides a wildlife viewing platform, and spotting scopes and binoculars will be available. There’s ample parking and viewing is wheelchair accessible.

“It is really quite a show and something that was lost to the Iowa landscape during the 1950s,” said Pat Schlarbaum, with the DNR’s Wildlife Diversity Program.

The two part celebration reconvenes at noon at Blank Park Zoo, 7401 SW Ninth St., in Des Moines.

The Creston wrestling room has a reputation for a grueling pace of work, mostly on technique drilling instead of a lot of “live” wrestling. That also came from the Granby philosophy, as well as other programs Frain observed.
