CEDAR PARK IMPROVEMENTS

A nine-hole disc golf course designed by local Crestonians compliments a pond renovation by Union County Conservation at Cedar Park ■

Union County’s Cedar Park is buzzing with new life and flying disc thanks to the innovation of Union County Conservation and local disc golfers who took on park improvement projects.

Located approximately four miles southeast of Creston, Cedar Park is a 12-acre park. The oneacre pond was recently renovated by Union County Conservation through a grant to improve fish habitation.

“We were able to dredge dirt out of the bottom and use that to raise the dam to raise the pond level,” said Mike Hilger, Union County Conservation park ranger at Cedar Park. “Before, it was just a little mud hole with no fish in it. Now it has been stocked, but it will take a couple years for the fish to get bigger.”

Hilger said the pond will eventually have bluegill, bass and catfish.

The construction at Cedar Park also added a new footbridge across a section of the pond and re-

established the park’s dirt walking trail. This spring the Union County Conservation plans to reseed grass and add some native prairie grasses on the north section of the park.

A nine-hole disc golf course highlights the recent renovations. Austin Smith and Joey Hoepker approached Hilger about adding a course to the park in February 2014.

“It gives people an alternative way to see the natural beauty of the whole park,” Smith said.

In the past, Cedar Park was gated off to the public to deter reoccurring vandalism and damage to the park’s infrastructure.

Smith said he hopes the addition of the disc golf course and the renovation of the pond will help increase positive activities at the park and help prevent future criminal mischief.

“This wouldn’t have happened without the conservation board helping us out,” Hoepker said. “They really liked the idea and that gave us

Lyndsay Jo Huntsman, 44, of Creston submitted a written arraignment with a plea of not guilty Friday morning at Huntsman the Union County Courthouse.

A pretrial conference is scheduled for May 29 and a trial by jury is set for August 17 in Creston. All dates are pending.

Huntsman was originally charged with ongoing criminal conduct and five counts of first-degree theft after turning herself in Jan. 26 at

Union County Law Enforcement Center.

The charges stem from a four-month investigation

by Creston Police Department and Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI).

According to a DCI report, Huntsman misappropriated more than $500,000 from business accounts in the name of Creston Automotive, 410 W. Adams St. According to a Creston Police report, Huntsman committed multipile thefts for financial gain on a continual basis, and knowingly acquired or maintained, directly or indirectly, interest in or control of real property through specified unlawful Please see HUNTSMAN, Page 2

Second public hearing scheduled for proposed Creston airport zoning

By JAKE WADDINGHAM CNA associate editor

jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

A second public hearing will be held 10 a.m. April 13 to provide more information for landowners who may be affected by the proposed zoning at Creston Municipal Airport.

Southern Iowa Council of Governments Regional Planner Chris Lee met with Union County Supervisors and nine landowners during a public hearing Monday at Union County Courthouse. Several concerns were raised about land Lee regulations and if the zoning would be an encumbrance on the landowner’s title.

“This specific ordinance is for trying to prevent future hazards for any potential construction that happens within the zones on the map,” Lee

said.

The zoning project is part of state, federal and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements for the airport to continue to receive required funding to operate in Union County.

The City of Creston adopted the ordinance in February. Now the county has to adopt the same ordinance.

“This is nothing new, the airport has always had regulations,” Lee said.

“Now they are being formalized and put into code so they can be better enforced.”

Alex Gates, who farms with his family on the south side of the airport, said about half of their farm is in the “blue zone” also labeled as Zone A. In this area, the objective is to provide a clear area that is free of aboveground obstructions and structures.

This zone is closest to where the individual runway ends.

“Within the blue, almost nothing is allowed,” Gates said. “Anything there is an obstruction because it is above ground. We would not be able to build

a dog house on that half of our property because that would be an aboveground structure. That doesn’t sound right.”

Gates added they currently have a height restriction, which the family does not have a problem with following.

Any construction in the proposed airport zoning would require approval from the airport commissioner, Kevin Kruse. Structures such as wind turbines or radio towers would also be subject to FAA approval.

Kruse “We are trying to find compatible and incompatible land uses that exist around the airport for safety for landing aircraft,” Lee said.

Cruz to run TV ads in Iowa, South Carolina, Nevada on Easter Cruz has reserved ad time during NBC’s “A.D.: The Bible Continues” that will reach most voters in Iowa and South Carolina, as well as Nevada’s most populous media market.

■

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign is buying television advertising time on Easter Sunday in several early voting states, a Democrat who tracks television spending said Thursday.

Cruz has reserved ad time during NBC’s “A.D.: The Bible Continues” that will reach most voters in Iowa and S o u t h Carolina, Cruz as well as Nevada’s most populous media market. The advertising plan skips New Hampshire, the most secular state among the first four states that weigh in on presidential nominees.

Texas’ junior senator officially joined the presidential race last week during a speech at the school founded by the late Rev. Jerry

Falwell. The ad buy is the latest clear signal that Cruz plans a strong courtship for Christian voters, who have great sway in picking Republicans’ presidential nominee.

Two Cruz spokespeople declined to comment about the advertising.

The Democrat who disclosed proprietary advertising data requested anonymity because he wasn’t allowed to share that information on the record.

During his campaign’s launch during a morning prayer service at Liberty University, Cruz vowed to stand with people of faith to change government and protect religious liberties.

“The answer will not come from Washington. It will come from only the men and women across this country, from men and women, from people of faith, from lovers of liberty, from people who respect the Constitution,” Cruz said during his kickoff speech.

It was not immediately clear whether that was the message Cruz would promote in his Easter Sunday ads.

To reach voters in Iowa, the campaign booked time in Cedar Rapids-Waterloo-Iowa City and Dubuque and Sioux City markets, as well as the television market that covers both Davenport, Iowa, and Moline in eastern Illinois.

Joey Hoepker worked with Austin Smith and Union County Conservation to design the nine-hole disc golf course at Cedar Park. He has already recorded an ace on the ninth hole, but Smith jokingly said it did not count because the course is not completely finished.

technical holes. It is geared toward skill rather than power.”

Disc golfers will find a variety of challenges including water hazards close to the pond and fairways with trees as obstacles.

Smith said the course is split for holes that favor backhand and forehand throws. Most of the holes will have two locations to alternate between.

The first hole gives players a mental challenge over a small section of the pond. The third hole is the longest on the course, covering the length of the restored prairie.

The course circles the pond, utilizing natural challenges to keep the disc golfers on their toes with each throw.

Course funding Smith and Hoepker applied for a grant through the Endow Union County Grant administered by South Central Iowa Community Foundation. The $2,150 grant was awarded in August 2014. It matched part of the donation from Union County Conservation and the labor Smith and Hoepker donated to setting up the course.

“Without the grant, we would have had to fundraise

to get the money and we would still be waiting to put it in,” Hoepker said. “The grant and the conservation board helped out a lot.”

The grant covered a majority of the construction costs.

Creston Disc Golf League funded some of the additional costs.

Smith, Hoepker and their friend Ben Lundy spent a couple months designing the layout of the nine holes. Hoepker said for some of the holes they had to go on site and visualize where the disc could travel before adding it to their plan.

“We steered clear of the

shelter area so people could have peace of mind that no discs would be flying by,” Smith said.

Smith works full time as an engineer. Hoepker farms in Union County.

It took about 12 rough drafts before the trio was satisfied with the layout. When the weather allowed, they started clearing underbrush and lower tree limbs to make the course playable.

“If more people start using it, we hope it will turn into a better place to go,” Hilger said. “They can help take care of the park while they are out there.”

activity, theft or embezzlement of funds between Jan. 1, 2010, and Dec. 31, 2014.

Each count of first-degree theft is for each year Huntsman misappropriated property.

“The theft, first, is what they call a class C felony,

and that maximum would be 10 years’ prison on each one. ... And the fine is $1,000 to $10,000, so that would be times five.

So, that could be up to 50 years,” said Tim Kenyon, Union County attorney.

Indiana, Arkansas pass revised religious objection proposals LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Lawmakers in Arkansas and Indiana passed legislation Thursday that they hoped would quiet the national uproar over new religious objections laws that opponents say are designed to offer a legal defense for anti-gay discrimination.

The Arkansas House voted 76-17 to adopt a revised bill after Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson asked for changes in the wake of mounting criticism.

Hutchinson signed it only moments after the vote, saying the new version recognizes that “we have a diverse workforce and a diverse culture.”

A parallel process played out at the Indiana Capitol as the House and Senate passed changes to a law signed last week by GOP Gov. Mike Pence, who quickly approved the revisions.

“Over the past week, this law has become a subject of great misunderstanding and controversy across our state and nation,” Pence said in a statement. “However we got

“Over the past week, this law has become a subject of great misunderstanding and controversy across our state and nation.”

here, we are where we are, and it is important that our state take action to address the concerns that have been raised and move forward.”

The new legislation marks the first time sexual orientation and gender identity have been mentioned in Indiana law.

The Arkansas measure is similar to a bill sent to the governor earlier this week, but Hutchinson said he wanted it revised to more closely mirror a 1993 federal law.

The Indiana amendment prohibits service providers from using the law as a legal defense for refusing to provide goods, services, facilities or accommodations.

It also bars discrimination based on race, color, religion, ancestry, age, national “Friends You Can Depend On”

origin, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or U.S. military service.

The measure exempts churches and affiliated schools, along with nonprofit religious organizations.

Business leaders, many of whom had opposed the law or canceled travel to the state because of it, called the amendment a good first step but said more work needs to be done. Gayrights groups noted that Indiana’s civil-rights law still does not include LGBT

people as a protected class.

Former Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson, now a senior vice president at drugmaker Eli Lilly, praised the changes but said the state’s image must still be mended.

“The healing needs to begin right now,” he said.

Democratic leaders said the amendment did not go far enough and repeated their calls to repeal the law.

“I want to hear somebody say we made a grave mistake, and we caused the state tremendous embarrassment that will take months, if not years, to repair,” House Minority Leader Scott Pelath said.

The lawmaker behind the original Arkansas proposal backed the changes, saying he believed the law would still protect religious beliefs.

Photographic memory Dear Heloise: When traveling, I often have a hard time remembering the hotel address, and sometimes I forget my room number. When I check in, I grab a BUSINESS CARD and take a picture with my cellphone, and one of the room number as well.

I have access to the address and my room number in case I forget. — Ted, via email Hello to another “road warrior,” and thanks for the reminder. Can’t tell you how many cities I have been to that have several of the same-name hotels within a few blocks. Also, with electronic keys, the hotel address is NOT usually on them. This is especially true if you stay in the same chain of hotels in many different cities day after day, as I do when giving speeches. I also try to locate a “landmark” to orientate myself. I know where I am when I see the Reunion Tower in Dallas, the Arch in St. Louis or the Space Needle in Seattle when I wake up and open the curtains. — Heloise GAS-SAVING IDEAS Dear Readers: If you drive a lot for work, or to and from work, the price of gas can really make a dent in your bud-

get. Gas prices may be low now, but they will go up one day, so take advantage today and save more money. Keep these in mind: * Make sure tires are properly inflated. Underinflated tires cause the engine to work harder, which uses more gas. * Don’t idle, if possible.

Reduce the time waiting for a friend with the car running, or “warming up your car” before leaving, etc. * Lighten the load and reduce wind resistance. Don’t haul around heavy items that you don’t need to. Try to carry big, bulky items inside the car instead of on top, which creates a BIG wind block and more resistance to moving forward, and sucks up gas mileage.

Horoscope Saturday, April 4, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Things are unpredictable today because not only is the Full Moon directly opposite your sign, it is also opposite unpredictable Uranus in your sign. Expect the unexpected.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) No doubt you feel restless today — a bit at loose ends.

Don’t worry this is just the condition of today’s Full Moon as it relates to your sign. Things will calm down in 48 hours.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) People will surprise you today. Or perhaps you will meet someone who is unusual or very different. Whatever the case, this is not a boring day, but you should watch your step.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Upsets with authority figures or parents are likely today.

People are touchy because of the Full Moon today. In addition, unpredictable Uranus is in the picture! Ouch.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day for you, so be careful. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Interruptions to your travel plans are likely. Give yourself extra time for wiggle room.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Keep an eye on your bank account and matters related to taxes and shared property.

Something unpredictable will occur today regarding these areas.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be patient with partners and close friends today, because the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place.

Naturally this will create stress and tension with others. Be cool.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Problems with co-workers are likely because of the Full Moon today. You can help things by being patient and perhaps, cutting someone some slack.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is definitely an accident-prone day for your kids, so be extra vigilant. This also will apply to children you work with. (It’s also tough for romance.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Avoid family arguments if possible today, because people are touchy due to the Full Moon. Go gently and be patient and understanding.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be alert, because today is definitely an accident-prone day for your sign. Be mindful when walking, driving, jogging or doing anything. Think before you speak.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Keep an eye on your money today. You might find money; you might lose money. This same unpredictable quality might apply to your possessions. Caution!

YOU BORN TODAY You are an innovator. You work hard

because you want to excel. It’s important for you to feel you have purpose in life. Go slowly this year. There is something important you must learn.

Even if the first half of this year seems slow, soon your efforts of the past six years will start to show results! Get out into nature this year.

HEALTH

Don’t let a bleeding disorder wreck your travel plans One in your family, has a bleeding disorder, you know that even the simplest accident can be a cause for major concern. Major developments in care and treatment have significantly improved quality of life. Most patients can now self-administer intravenous clotting factor with education and direction from a trained clinician - like Accredo bleeding disorder nurses - rather than going to a treatment center for each infusion.

“However, many medications have special treatment, storage and transportation requirements,” says Leslie Oygar, a clinical nurse liaison in the Accredo Bleeding Disorders Therapeutic Resource Center.

“This means that traveling with a bleeding disorder, especially during the busy holiday season, can pose particular challenges.”

A few precautions can ensure that patients and their families can have a safe and healthy holiday travel season, she adds. Specialist nurses, like Oygar, in Accredo’s Therapeutic Resource Center, can help patients effectively manage their condition.

Here are a few tips for people with bleeding disor-

ders to consider as they plan to travel: * Plan ahead: If traveling a long distance, make sure to discuss arrangements in advance with a physician or specialist pharmacist. Obtain emergency contact information for both the physician and pharmacy. * Be prepared: Not all hospitals carry clotting factor or the other medications used to treat bleeding disorders. Make sure to carry adequate clotting factor, other bleeding disorder medications, infusion supplies and, if possible, a few extra doses in the case of a significant bleed or trauma.

Many insurance providers require prior notice to be able to authorize extra doses of medication. Allow 3-4 weeks to make sure you have all the approvals in place. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website has information about treatment centers in the U.S, as well as hematologists who can provide medical intervention at or near travel destinations, if necessary. * Keep your records current: If traveling for extended periods, make sure the specialty pharmacy has accurate information about

how to contact you and where to ship the factor during the travel period. * Carry documentation: A letter from the hematologist is an important document of introduction and information for anyone treating the patient if medical intervention is necessary. This letter will also provide an emergency physician with treatment guidelines specific to the individual, and the contact information of the patient’s personal hematologist and nurse coordinator.

* Know the rules: When using public transportation, whether air, bus, train, or anything else, call ahead to ask about requirements associated with traveling with needles, syringes and other medication administration equipment. Sharps boxes are usually acceptable even if they contain used syringes.

If traveling by air, download and complete the TSA Notification Card 72 hours prior to air travel and contact TSA Cares at 855.787.2227 to help facilitate your trip

through airport security. * Keep the original packaging: Keep all medications and supplies unopened and in the original boxes especially when traveling by air, which requires an inspection of carry-on bags or coolers if appropriate.

Medications and equipment should be accompanied by a letter from the physician and carried by the patient while traveling. Wear a Medic Alert at all times - especially when traveling. * Store carefully:

Mini-fridges in hotels and other accommodations can have poor temperature control, which increases the risk of freezing the factor. Be careful to store medications at the appropriate temperature.

For bleeding disorders patients traveling internationally, the World Federation of Hemophilia website can provide information about treatment centers outside the U.S. For more information, visit lab.express-scripts.com.

Soybean oil: GMO or NO? Barry Bremen, The Great Imposter, joined the PGA’s U.S. Open in 1979 and almost finished a practice round with two pros before being ushered off the course. After that, he put on a Yankees uniform and shagged flies before the All-Star game! (He was arrested during the team photo shoot.) Seems you may claim that you’re as good as or even better than, the real thing, but that doesn’t make it true.

Take genetically modified soybean oil. Its producers claim that it’s better than the original! Soybean oil is the most used vegetable oil in North America, found in scores of prepared foods.

The oil contains about 55 percent linoleic acid (aka omega-6 fatty acid) and is considered a major contributor to the epidemic levels of obesity, diabetes, fatty liver and insulin resistance.

Researchers found that after replacing saturated fats from coconut oil with soybean oil, lab animals were even more likely to gain weight, and develop diabetes and insulin resistance!

So what’s with GMO soybean oil? It’s low in linoleic acid and has about the same fatty acid composition as olive oil. Sounds promising. But those same researchers also found that it’s equally linked to obesity, diabetes and fatty liver. Their conclusion: acid may contribute to insulin resistance ... but another ... unidentified component of soybean oil affects the liver and overall weight gain.” So don’t go GMO — or regular soybean oil, either! The easiest way: Eliminate fried

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

and prepared foods from your menu, and go with odd omegas: omega-3 (from walnuts and canola oil) or omega-9 (from extra-virgin olive oil).

HOW TO REBOUND When LeBron James left the Miami Heat after four seasons, their fortunes went south, and now they’re losing three out of every five games. But Miami’s loss was the Cleveland Cavaliers’ gain. King James went back to the Cavs (he’d left in 2010), and the once-sagging team is rebounding big time, winning two out of three games this season. Is this a Do-Over? Classic.

Having a second chance at getting things right, whether it’s on the basketball court or with your health, is totally NBA — Nothing But Astounding!

Here are three of our favorite do-overs that will make you the power guard of your well-being.

1. For effective weight control Pay attention to portion size — even when you’re eating good-for-you foods.

Overeating packs on belly fat, releasing hormones that break down the blood-brain barrier, letting in toxins that may cause cognitive problems.

2. For enduring agility and strength Love your core, but show your arms and hands affection, too. Building arm and hand strength in midlife en-

sures that you’ll continue to have agility and strength in the long run. Start simple: Squeeze a handball or gently push and release the flat of your palm against a wall.

Try four sets of 20.

3. For greater happiness Figure out your stress solution, but avoid the ones that rebound to more stress, like overeating and drinking excessively. Some of our favorite stress solutions are massages, walks, yoga, meditation, sex with your partner, cooking — you get the picture.

GET TICKED OFF EARLIER THIS YEAR During the first days of April, you can enjoy the season openers for major-league baseball teams across the country. It’s when the Indians, Yankees and everyone else’s team starts off in first place! And now, because of climate change, early April also ushers in the opening of tick season!

We usually mention tick risks in May, which is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, but new data shows that’s a bit late these days. The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New York (a tick-dense region), has identified this new tick trend after accumulating data for almost 20 years on climate warming patterns and its effects. So now’s the time to start paying attention to tick-bite-prevention strategies.

—Try not to walk through

areas with tall grasses and low shrubs. If you do, tuck your pants into your socks.

—When you’re out and about, use insect repellant.

DEET is effective and won’t hurt you or your children unless you ingest it or get it in your eyes. Applying it to skin and clothes can protect you from tick-borne illnesses, including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Heartland virus and a whole slew of ills delivered by the black-legged tick.

—Check yourself and your pets when you come indoors. Remove any ticks with a tick-removal toolkit, not with your fingers. (Ask your vet about the best protective tick product for your pet.)

—If you suspect a tick bite, don’t wait; see a doctor who knows about treating tick-borne illnesses, pronto.

WANNA BEEF UP YOUR BRAIN? EXERCISE YOUR MUSCLES In the 1988 movie “Twins,” Julius and Vincent Benedict (Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito) are the result of an experiment to produce the perfect child. And you’re supposed to accept that the two are genetically identical, yet, in outward appearances, polar opposites.

While that premise may be hard to believe, finding adult twins who have developed differently is exactly what a team of Finnish researchers set out to do.

They eventually located and then studied 10 sets of male identical twins ages 32 to 36 who had divergent lifestyles (one was physically active, the other sedentary), and what they discovered was

something you want to be aware of.

As you could have guessed, the inactive twin was fatter, had less endurance and increased insulin resistance, signaling the onset of metabolic problems.

But because the twins’ diets were similar, researchers thought food choices weren’t what caused the health differences. But the real surprise? The active twin’s gray matter was more robust than the slacker twin’s, especially in areas of the brain involved in motor control and coordination.

There are two important takeaways from this: 1. Genetics isn’t destiny. You can opt to be healthier, and regular exercise is an important component of that. We say head for 10,000 steps a day (no excuses) and strength train with hand weights or stretch bands two to three days a week for 30 minutes.

2. Exercise protects more than your muscles and heart from disease; it protects your brain. So get smart about physical activity!

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? The heavy metal band Manowar became the Guinness World Records’ “World’s Loudest Band” when they hit 129.5 decibels in a live concert in 1994.

And why isn’t that cool?

Because permanent hearing loss can happen from listening to 85 dBs for an extended period of time, and it takes only 15 minutes of 100 dBs for that kind of damage to be done. (A typical conversation is about 60 dBs.) According to a new World Health Organization report, hearing loss is

a life-changing health issue that threatens 1.1 BILLION teens and young adults around the world. And it’s mostly caused by “unsafe use of personal audio devices, including smartphones, and exposure to damaging levels of sound at noisy entertainment venues such as nightclubs, bars and sporting events.”

If young folks become partially or severely deaf, the report points out, they’ll pay a big price in mental and physical health issues, not to mention lost employment opportunities and social difficulties. So listen up, Mom and Dad! Protect your kids’ hearing by making them aware of the risks associated with earbuds (1 hour a day at a low volume is optimal); loud concerts (very uncool, but they should wear earplugs); and deafening sporting events (earplugs again). Convince them by downloading a decibel meter app to their smartphone: Have them measure the volume in their earbuds (keep it around 70) and at any venue, so decades from now they can hear the sounds of nature, their children’s voices and the music they love. *** 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.

Consecutive wins for Golden State after Thursday’s 107-106 win over Phoenix.

National Digest

Move confirmed RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Shaka Smart is leaving Virginia Commonwealth to coach the Texas Longhorns.

VCU sports information director Scott Day confirmed to reporters gathered at the campus Thursday night that Smart was making the move. Smart met with VCU players earlier in the evening at the Siegel Center, the team’s home arena, and at least one player was seen crying when he left.

Texas athletic director Steve Patterson flew to Richmond on Thursday to close the deal.

Smart, who has won at least 26 games in each of his six seasons at VCU, has been one of the hottest names in college coaching since leading the Rams to the Final Four in 2011.

Patterson has zeroed in on bringing Smart to Texas immediately after firing former Longhorns coach Rick Barnes last weekend.

Terms of Smart’s contract were not immediately released and VCU said a statement would be released Friday. Barnes made $2.62 million last season. Smart made $1.8 million with the Rams.

Marshall stays WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall has grown accustomed to hearing lucrative offers from big-name schools trying to lure him away.

It’s become as much a part of March as the NCAA Tournament.

So has Marshall turning them down. he latest to be spurned was Alabama, which flew into town this week hoping to land him as the replacement for Anthony Grant. Instead, Marshall agreed to terms on a new contract that could keep him with the Shockers for at least the next seven years.

Marshall has led the Shockers to four straight NCAA tournaments, including a trip to the Final Four in 2013. Wichita State lost to Notre Dame in the Sweet 16 this past season.

Terms of the new agreement, reached late Wednesday, were not disclosed because the final contract still must be signed. It is expected to be a significant raise from the base salary of $1.85 million that Marshall was making on his previous seven-year rollover contract.

Verlander on DL LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander is headed to the disabled list for the first time in his major league career.

The Tigers said Thursday the 32-year-old righthander won’t be on the active roster for Monday’s opener against Minnesota because of tightness in his right triceps. He was scratched from his Thursday start and no timetable has been announced for when he will pitch again.

“I think they used the word strain,” Verlander said.

Panther girls soccer seeks progress Team had four one-goal losses in 2014

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

If the Creston girls soccer team is going to take the step forward this spring that third-year coach Kim Lauffer is looking for, they’ll have to do it without one of the most valuable players to come through the program.

Four-year goalkeeper Sadie Jones, who also played some on the field last year for the Panthers, is a freshman on the Central College women’s soccer team this year.

Jones, who earned Hawkeye 10 all-conference second team status last year, and Michelle Powers, with H-10 honorable mention recognition, graduated from the 2014 squad along with Ryan Vasquez and Itzayanna Rubio.

Injury concerns also have kept would-be starters Alyssa Higgins and Brenna Baker out of soccer this spring.

“Alyssa has been battling back issues, especially during soccer, and she wants to be ready for softball, which is understandable,” Lauffer said. “Brenna came back from her knee injury, but soccer is a tough sport for knee problems, and I know she wants to be on a college dance team. They’re great kids and I understand their mindset.”

But, the cupboard is not bare. Team MVP Hanna Luther, moving from defense to midfielder this year to generate more of an attack, leads a list of 10

returning letterwinners. Luther also earned all-district honors a year ago.

A n d , Luther as part of a winning volleyball team with plans to play the sport at the college level at Southwestern, Lauffer knows her four-year starter can be a leader on the field, as well.

She’s looking for consistent intensity, instead of watching would-be victories slipping away in the second half.

“We had a chat about our approach this year,” Lauffer said. “Their potential for improvement is great. Now, they need to be convinced that they really want it.

We’re hoping this year to really leave it all on the field, for every ball, every moment. They have to have that drive, especially in the second half. We’ve played too many teams close for a half, and then watch them pull away.”

Last year the Panthers beat Oakland Riverside 2-1 on May 2, ending a winless streak of 35 straight matches. That was a span of two years, 30 days.

Since then, a new eightmatch streak of defeats has started, and Lauffer looks to end that sooner this season.

Although, the first three matches are huge challenges Monday at St. Albert, Tuesday at home against Harlan and Thursday at Valley girls (Nodaway Valley/West

The Panthers return home Tuesday, April 14 against a Kuemper Catholic team that edged Creston 1-0 a year ago. It was one of several close defeats, including similar 1-0 outcomes against Atlantic and Centerville and a 3-2 loss to Chariton.

“Those are games that we have to play all the way through and finish,” Lauffer said. “We play Riverside twice this year, and they’re a program like us, trying to get to a higher level. Those

Panther JV team claims two victories at DeWitt Invite Nodaway Valley finishes runner-up in Class B

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

OSCEOLA — Creston’s JV track squad finished third in Class A here Thursday at the DeWitt Invitational, scoring 87.5 points, while Nodaway Valley finished second with 155.5 and Murray finished fourth with 53 points in Class B. “Not a lot of huge standouts, but everybody made little improvements,” Creston head coach Clay Arnold said. “Handoffs were way better. People’s splits and times were brought down just a little bit.”

The Panthers claimed two event victories in Class A, as senior Monica Powers won the 3,000 meters for the second consecutive meet to start the season.

Powers ran 12:57.09 for third place overall in the combined Class A/Class B race, behind Nodaway Valley junior Destiny Scar and Murray freshman Kylie Shields, both of which were in Class B. Scar won with her time of 12:10.65, with Shields crossing the line in 12:41.69.

Sophomore Lexie Little picked up Creston’s other victory of the night, winning the 1,500 meters in a time of 5:43.50. Powers finished third in 5:57.48.

“Little was a last minute throw-in to the 1,500 yesterday when I was putting together the lineup,” Arnold said. “I told her just to go out and win it, so she did.

Kind of ran away with it.

Monica ran a nice race for third.”

There were plenty of improvements for the Panthers in the field events.

Rachel Shepherd jumped

10 inches farther than she did Tuesday, while Danielle Castillo improved by 7.75 inches. Hannah Hood added 5.75 inches to her shot put from Tuesday’s meet, while Marie Hood improved by 15 feet, 3 inches in the discus. Faith Wilson improved her discus throw by a foot, as well.

The Panthers placed sec-

ond to Davis County in the 4x800 relay, running 11:13.05.

“Breanna Wallace ran her first ever 800 in her life,” Arnold said. “She didn’t have anyone to run with in that third leg, but I thought she did a really good job.”

Please see DEWITT, page 9A

are good games for both of us.”

Defense There are three candidates to take over for Jones in the net this year.

Junior Becca Ross gained some experience a year ago when Jones played on the field, and handled the JV goalkeeper duties. Senior Taquana Williams and junior Abbie Cook are others in the mix, although Cook is a valuable player in the midfield or offensive positions, as well. Ross could see some

time on defense.

While Lauffer plans to move Luther up in the formation, that leaves sophomore Katie Powers as an anchor on the defensive flank protecting the goal, along with returning starter Maddie Travis and Micah McCutchan. Angelica Claytor could play in a variety of roles, including defense, and sophomore Logan Pettit looks ready to help on Please see PANTHERS, page 9A

Spartans sweep Ellsworth

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

The Southwestern Community College softball team picked up a pair of ICCAC Division II conference wins here Wednesday, sweeping Ellsworth Community College in a doubleheader.

The Spartan bats were hot in game one of the doubleheader, as Southwestern won 17-6 in five innings.

Southwestern scored three runs in the first, seven in the second and five runs in the third inning.

“It was a lot better than this past weekend,” Southwestern head coach Lindsey Stumpff said. “We actually started hitting the ball on the ground instead of in the air, which helped us out a lot.”

Ellsworth struck first in the top of the first inning, before Southwestern battled back.

“We had preached to them the importance of making sure we make every inning count,” Stumpff said. “We needed to start right off the bat. First girl got on and we played our game. Bunted her over and played that way. Then we just started hitting the ball.

From that point on, we really didn’t look back.”

Nikki Tennant finished 3-for-4 in the game with a double. Katrina DeVore, Brennan Banks and Tiernee Fichter each recorded three hits, as well.

“Emma Ferin is starting to hit the ball again, which is good to see,” Stumpff Please see SWCC, page 8A

Marshalltown rallies past Spartans

CNA photo by SCOTT VICKER

Creston sophomore Kristy Powers rounds the first turn during the anchor leg of the 4x800 relay at Thursday’s DeWitt Invite at Clarke of Osceola. The Panther relay team finished runner-up to Davis County in Class A.

A nonconference win got away from the Southwestern baseball team Thursday, as a 5-0 lead turned into an 8-7 Marshalltown victory late in a nine-inning contest here.

Jason Roberts had two RBI, Zach Anderson had a run-scoring hit and Misael Lebron hit a sacrifice fly as the Spartans built an early lead.

Matt Brophy of Carter Lake got his second pitching assignment of the year and had a 5-0 lead after two innings for the Spartans.

“When he left after five, we were leading 6-4,” said SWCC coach Pedro Hernandez. “Then they hit the ball and we had a couple errors. They scored four to go ahead 8-6.

“We got one run back,”

Hernandez noted. “Then in the eighth we had runners on second and third with one out, but we didn’t get them in. We had a flyball too close to tag and score, and the pitcher made a good play on a grounder to end the inning.”

Freshman Trevor Luther of Creston got the start in left field and finished 1-of-4 at the plate. Reliever Drew Carlson took the loss on the mound.

Marshalltown, leading ICCAC Division I play at 3-1, improved to 10-13 overall.

Southwestern fell to 6-17 overall and begins a fourgame conference series at Iowa Lakes in Estherville today. The series concludes at noon on Saturday. Both teams are 2-6 in ICCAC Division II play.

defense, too, according to Lauffer.

“We’re getting a little closer every day with our defense, not having Hanna back there,” Lauffer said.

“But we really won’t know until we get out there in a game situation.”

Shelby Palser, Corissa Kinkade, Carolina Ibarra, Claytor, Luther and Jordan Moreland look to be midfielders, along with Cook at times.

“We have some people who can get the forward the ball from the midfield,” said Lauffer, assisted again by Jerry Hartman. “That’s one reason we moved Hanna up, for the scoring opportunities.”

Ibarra has experience playing JV at a large school

in Chicago and will be one of the better players on this year’s team, the Panther coach said.

“Playing JV at a large school like she did is like playing varsity ball here,” Lauffer said. “She has good strategic sense of soccer, and she will be a huge asset to us this year.”

Returnees Savannah Hartman, Cook, Ibarra and freshmen Kalen Bloodgood and Jaiden Stephens are all capable forwards. Hartman was the biggest threat a year ago and had the winning goal in the victory over Riverside.

The Panthers were 0-7 in the eight-team group of Hawkeye 10 teams playing soccer last year. Lauffer would like to inch up the standings this year. In 2014, Atlantic was 1-6, Deni-

son-Schleswig 2-5 and Kuemper Catholic was 3-4.

Lewis Central was Hawkeye 10 champion at 7-0 and ended the year 13-6 overall as a Class 2A state qualifier.

St. Albert was 6-1 and 12-9 overall, with Glenwood (52) edging Harlan (4-3) for third place.

Commitments made, Iran and 6 powers face tough nuke talks The sides, which have been working on a substantive agreement for nearly two years, drew up a series of commitments Thursday that must be worked out in detail by June 30.

■

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — With one phase of nuclear talks over, Iran and six world powers now have an ambitious to-do list that — if implemented — will cut significantly into Iran’s bomb-capable technology while giving Tehran quick access to bank accounts, oil markets and other financial assets blocked by international sanctions.

But the deal is far from done. The sides have been working on a substantive result for nearly two years.

After a week of grueling ne-

gotiations, they managed on Thursday only to draw up a series of commitments that still must be worked out in detail before June 30. That is the deadline agreed on months before negotiators sat down in Lausanne for the final haggling.

If implemented, the undertakings will substantially pare back some Iranian nuclear assets for a decade and restrict others for an additional five years. It would be the first significant success for the United States and its partners in more

than a decade of diplomatic efforts focusing on capping Tehran’s nuclear advance.

Yet even before the talks culminated in the preliminary outline of what needs be done, both sides warned of the hard work ahead. And the bickering began just a few hours after the sides signed off on their preliminary understanding.

“There is no need to spin using ‘fact sheets’ so early on,” tweeted Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, in a reference to a public document released by the United States listing both sides’ commitments. He also questioned some of the assertions contained in the document, such as the speed of a U.S. sanctions drawdown.

According to that text,

many of the nuclear limits on Iran would be in place for a decade, while others would last 15 or 20 years. Sanctions related to Iran’s nuclear programs would be suspended by the U.S. and the European Union and eased by the U.N. after the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed Iran’s compliance.

The fact sheet also says Tehran is committed to significant cuts in centrifuges, the machines that can spin uranium gas to levels used in nuclear warheads. Of the nearly 20,000 centrifuges Iran now has installed or running at its main enrichment site, the country would be allowed to operate just over 5,000.

Much of its enriched stockpiles would be neutralized.

A planned reactor would be

reconstructed so it produced no weapons-grade plutonium.

Monitoring and inspections by the U.N. nuclear agency would be enhanced.

Opponents of the emerging accord, including Israel and Republi- Obama can leaders in Congress, reacted with skepticism. They criticized the outline for failing to do enough to curb Iran’s potential to produce nuclear weapons or to mandate intrusive enough inspections. President Barack Obama, who seeks an Iran nuclear deal as a capstone of his presidency, disagreed.

“This framework would cut off every pathway that Iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon.”

— Barack Obama U.S. president

“This framework would cut off every pathway that Iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon,” Obama declared. “This deal is not based on trust. It’s based on unprecedented verification.”

America’s negotiating partners in Europe strongly backed the result.

Bullying prevention among bills still alive in Legislature DES MOINES (AP) — Efforts to combat bullying and expand broadband internet access — both top priorities for Gov. Terry Branstad — remained alive in the state Legislature Thursday as a procedural deadline loomed, but other more partisan legislation was likely dead.

Lawmakers from the Democratic-controlled Senate and Republican-majority House lamented the bills that failed to advance, saying that good ideas had been discarded. Republicans sought changes to bargaining rules for teacher unions and tried to require women to get ultrasounds before having abortions. For Democrats those bills include an effort to provide more leave benefits to parents of adopted children and to increase the minimum wage.

“McDonalds is interested in raising the minimum wage, the House Republicans are

not,” said House Democratic Minority Leader Mark Smith, of Marshalltown.

Under legislative rules, Friday is the deadline— known as the “second Funnel” —for many bills to get full approval from one chamber in the General Assembly and committee-level approval in the other chamber. Some bills, such as the budget, are not subject to the deadline, and legislative leaders could always revive a bill later in the session.

Lawmakers were set to complete their work for the week Thursday, and most will not report back to the Capitol until Monday.

A push to give schools more authority to respond to bullying remains alive and an effort to provide incentives for more broadband infrastructure in the state will continue because it is not subject to the deadline.
