Rep. Drake talks budget during final coffee

By JAKE WADDINGHAM CNA associate editor

jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

As the 2014 legislative session comes to a close later this month, Rep. Jack Drake discussed several topics with Crestonians that are coming to the forefront in the Iowa House during Saturday morning’s last legislative coffee for 2014 at the restored depot.

Drake said passing the budget is still the main focus for ev-

eryone in the Iowa House and Senate. Drake, who serves on the agriculture standing committee, gave a preview to some of the changes in this year’s budget.

“We are taking about $3 million out of the REAP program for soil conservation, forest management ... and for park upkeep,” Drake said.

REAP stands for Resource Enhancement and Protect. It includes programs and funding through the state to enhance

and protect Iowa’s diverse natural and cultural resources.

About $1 million of the $3 million reassigned from REAP is designated for soil conservation to help with nutrient reduction.

Drake said the funds will go toward building new terraces to help protect Iowa’s water.

He added he is also researching how to help urban areas

Representative Jack Drake discusses a topic brought up during the final legistlative coffee in detail with a constituent Saturday morning.

with nutrient reduction, but there is not much funding in the budget to support it this year.

The increase in foresty funds is to help combat the outbreak of Emerald Ash Borer across the state.

This year’s appropriation bill also contains policy, which Drake said is not common.

Drake said there is some concern with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources using eminent domain to take away private property after just compensation for public use.

“It is a difficult issue,” Drake said. “The concern on the eminent domain is that they don’t want them coming in and taking way their private property.”

The policy states eminent domain can only be used for public water supply. If the DNR uses eminent domain for recreational expansion, it could lose all of its funding for that year.

But the bill has not passed the senate and since it is in the appropriation bill, it could be subject to a line-item veto by Gov. Terry Branstad.

Other topics Several Crestonians brought up concerns or inquired about certain bills still in circulation during the legislative coffee.

• The fuel tax is still alive and has bill potential, but there is a lot of confusion revolved around using sales tax as an alternative fundraiser.

• Drake said Iowa’s budget now designates the most money on human services, passing education.

Because of Iowa’s financial standing, Drake said more than $85 million was cut from federal funds for medicaid and will have to be paid by the state.

• The effort to increase Iowa’s broadband internet connection by using the ICN network is being debated by telephone companies. ICN is not a taxed entity. The ICN network was originally used by high schools and colleges to share teachers and classes, but different schedules made it difficult to plan classes.

Drake, who serves on the Walnut telephone company board, said he wants to “level the playing field” between ICN and telephone company competition.

Lamaak to follow them to the patrol car and he agreed. As he exited the vehicle, Lamaak dropped all his information and was visibly shaking to the point he had a hard time picking up the items. When Lamaak was seated in the patrol car, officers smelled the odor of marijuana and grape cigars. Officers asked Lamaak if he had anything illegal in his vehicle, and he stated he did not and gave consent to search. As officers went to the vehicle, they approached the passenger side and smelled a very strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. The two passengers appeared very nervous. The rear seat passenger was asked to exit the vehicle and exhibited a very strong odor of marijuana and appeared to be shaking. When asked if he had anything in his pockets he stated he did and retrieved three bags of a green leafy substance from his person. During the investigation, it was determined all three persons in the vehicle were actively smoking marijuana.

Lamaak consented to a urine test and had a positive test result for marijuana.

Horoscope Tuesday, April 8, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful of hasty reactions to others today, because it’s easy to get angry or lose your temper.

Ironically, someone else might do something that you often do, which is why it really irritates you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might do a slow boil about something today. You’re seething because you are angry, but you feel you cannot speak out. Wait until you feel calm, then speak your piece.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) In group situations today, competition might be strong.

Naturally, this will only rev your engines. Keep things to the level of a debate, not an argument. (It’s better for everyone, especially you.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a poor day to go toe to toe with anyone in management. Parents, teachers and VIPs will react adversely if you challenge them. Do not wake the sleeping giant.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Avoid controversial subjects, like politics, religion and racial issues today. People are hotheaded and ready to fight.

(Mum’s the word.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Disputes about money, taxes, debt and shared property are likely today. Someone might oppose your ideas about how you want to handle your money or spend a shared amount.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be patient with partners and close friends today. Confrontations with others will become a conflict at some point. Cool your jets.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Diplomacy and tolerance will help you keep the peace at work today. Don’t be competitive. Don’t be argumentative.

And don’t be bossy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Some feisty energy out there could make you impatient with children today.

However, it also can make you competitive in sports!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Something you’ve been working for might come to a head. Hopefully, this will please you. If things don’t work out as you had hoped, don’t forge blindly ahead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans and plans relat-

ed to publishing, education, the law and medicine might be derailed today because people disagree. Look for a win/win solution, if possible. Be part of the solution, not the problem.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Disputes about cash flow, earnings and shared property might arise today. You might feel like you finally have what you’ve been waiting for. Stay away from nasty arguments.

YOU BORN TODAY You are ethical, generous and socially responsible. You care about

others, both personally, in your own sphere, as well as globally. Many of you are active in humanitarian causes. No matter how successful you are, you can be shy. You are calm and cool under pressure. This year you enter a fresh, new nineyear cycle of discovery and beginnings. Open any door!

Naismith winner DALLAS — Creighton senior Doug McDermott was named the winner of the 2014 Naismith Trophy on Sunday night, completing a sweep of college basketball’s major national player of the year awards. The other finalists were Arizona junior Nick Johnson, Duke freshman Jabari Parker and Louisville senior Russ Smith. McDermott was a finalist for the award each of the past two seasons.

Trey Burke (Michigan) won in 2013, and Anthony Davis (Kentucky) took home the trophy in 2012. McDermott was chosen by the Atlanta Tipoff Club’s national voting academy, which based its selection on individual performances throughout the season, and by fans, who were eligible to vote online. The fan vote accounts for 25 percent of the vote total.

The Naismith Trophy is the 13th different honor for McDermott as national player of the year this season, joining the USBWA Oscar Robertson Trophy, the John R. Wooden Award, Lute Olson Award, CBSSports.com, Sporting News, USA Today, NBCSports. com, BleacherReport. com, Basketball Times and Dick Vitale. McDermott also won the Senior CLASS Award on Thursday, which takes into account work on the court and in the classroom and community.

GLENWOOD — With the way weather is during the spring season in Iowa, track and field coaches never know when they’ll get a chance to have their teams compete in decent weather.

That’s why Creston girls track coach Clay Arnold knew he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to compete in Saturday’s 9-10 Co-ed Ram Relays here, especially after Thursday’s meet at Clarke was cancelled.

“I knew today looked nice, that’s why we weren’t going to turn down this opportunity,” Arnold said.

“We took everybody we could get a hold of today.

All young girls, who got a little extra work in. I was happy with quite a few things I saw.”

Arnold was only able to wrangle up seven girls to take to the meet, but it was a good way for the young Panthers to gain some valuable

Creston sophomore Jessica Beatty hands off to freshman Lexie Little in the exchange from the 400 meter leg to the 800 meter anchor leg of the distance medley relay at Glenwood’s 9-10 Co-ed Ram Relays on Saturday. The Panthers won the race in 4:53.67.

The distance medley relay team of Amber Castillo, Sydney Suiter, Jessica Beat-

ty and Lexie Little took first place, running 4:53.67.

Castillo opened things up with a 29.38 split in

the 200-meter leg, while Suiter kept the Panthers in good position with a 31.65 split. Beatty ran a season-

best split of 1:10.07 in the 400-meter leg and Little overtook Treynor’s anchor with 400 meters to go, running a 2:41.47 split on the 800 meter leg.

Castillo continued her strong day with a secondplace finish in the 100 meter hurdles, running 18.57.

“I thought Amber’s hurdles were really good,” Arnold said. “She’s looking real quick in them, we just need to work on some arm technique.”

The Panther 4x800 relay team started the day with a third-place finish, running 11:22.45.

Little opened the relay with a 2:36 split. Other members of that team were Beatty, Madison Callahan and Rachel Shepherd.

“Little’s 2:36 was awesome, leading off that 4x8,” Arnold said. “I don’t know that if everybody was awake yet on that 4x8.”

Girls step up in Creston/O-M tennis Briley homers Taylor returns to lead boys team

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

The tables have turned in the Creston tennis program.

With seven seniors graduating from one of the most successful boys team in the program’s history, that squad is rebuilding this year as the fast-rising girls squad targets big accomplishments in the coming years.

“Boys that were playing (number) 9 and 10 for us last year are up to 2 or 3 for us now,” said coach Kevin Cooper. “That’s what happens when you graduate a lot of seniors.

Last year was one of our better teams as far as the guys’ team. We knew we had a chance in every dual.

This year, we have a lot of guys getting experience.

You never know who is going to take off with that opportunity.”

The lone returnee from that 7-4 team that was within a whisker of knocking off Red Oak for a trip to state team tennis is senior Garret Taylor.

He m o v e s up from No. 3 to the No. 1 position, and has Taylor put a lot of time preparing for that role.

“Garret has had as good of a summer as I’ve seen somebody have, as far as going out to the courts and hitting,” Cooper said.

“He’d get the ball machines out and spend hours and hours there. It shows this year. It will be an interesting year for him.”

Senior lettermen on last year’s team were Colby Taylor, Bryce McIlravy, Adam Bochart, Jacob Caviness, Ryan Cook and Logan Angelo. Austin Hurt was also a senior in 2013.

Creston beat Norwalk and Atlantic in the first two rounds of the postseason before being edged by Red Oak for a spot in the Final Four. Creston/O-M was also third in the Hawkeye 10 Tournament.

Taylor and McIlravy, who had earned a Hawkeye 10 doubles championship together, qualified for the state tournament in doubles for the first

Creston/O-M appearance since 2006.

Girls returnees On the other hand, varsity regulars returning from the 4-5 girls squad are No. 1 player Audrey Fyock, a senior, a l o n g with junior Ashley Harris and sophomores Caitlin McIlravy, Fyock J e n n a Taylor and Alli Thomsen.

Sophomores Gracie Russell, Sydney Dunphy and Angie Sorensen were contenders for varsity time and could battle in the regular lineup this year.

The lone senior lost from the postseason lineup was senior Emma Johnson from the No. 2 position.

Amy Dunphy was also part of the lineup earlier in the season.

“It’s the girls’ turn,” Cooper said. “We have had good girls teams, but this team has a chance to be very good. Audrey Fyock is a senior, but otherwise it’s a team that has a chance to get better for the next two years, too.”

While only seven boys virtually assures everyone of some varsity duty, the roster of 16 girls — including five new freshmen — gives Cooper strong depth to work with.

“We want the girls to be competitive with each other,” said Cooper, again assisted by Amanda Plymale.

“Our goal is to push each other and continue to get better.

“Some of these girls were at the tennis courts all summer,” Cooper continued. There’s no magic potion. The more you hit the better you get.”

As freshmen, Taylor and McIlravy — like their older brothers — formed a strong doubles team that went 2-2 in No. 1 doubles at the Hawkeye 10 tournament and took fourth, including a win over a seeded team, at the district tournament.

“I think Jenna and Caitlin opened some eyes to the potential they have,” Cooper said. “The bottom of our lineup could be as strong as the middle, and that’s what wins tennis meets. Hopefully that’s

what we have with this girls team. That’s what we had with the boys team last year.”

The competition will be strong, however.

“Red Oak is good enough to win it all,” Cooper said. “They have five of their six back from a team in the final four at state. Clarinda is good.

Shenandoah is good on the girls side. We’re looking forward to being competitive.”

The season starts Thursday, with the girls traveling to Atlantic and the boys hosting the Trojans at the SWCC courts.

against Southwestern BOONE — Sophomore shortstop Katlin Briley of C r e s ton hit a home run over the fence along with two singles to lead Briley 1 3 t h ranked Des Moines Area Community College past Southwestern Sunday, 3-2, in the nightcap of a softball doubleheader Sunday.

The Bears (20-6 overall, 11-3 conference) broke a 2-2 tie with a seventh-inning hit.

Sam Strand took the hard-luck loss for Southwestern, striking out four while allowing nine hits.

She was backed by stellar defensive play. The offense was led by a two-run homer by designated hitter Brooke Wolf after Hannah

Murphy doubled. Wolf was 2-of-3 in the game.

Briley had one hit in DMACC’s opening 7-2 victory. Danielle McIntosh took the loss, relieved by Jill Vanderhoof in the third inning.

Southwestern, now 11-10 overall and 5-7 in the conference, played at Central Community College in Columbus, Neb., on Saturday and lost both games, 8-0 and 15-5.

McIntosh and Vanderhoof pitched the first game and Strand pitched the second game. McIntosh, playing first base, had a home run and double in the nightcap.

Southwestern has a midweek road trip, playing at Division I Southeastern (6-17) in Burlington Tuesday before going to Cedar Rapids Wednesday to take on 11th-ranked Kirkwood, now 32-5 overall and atop the league at 13-1.

UConn-Kentucky matchup wasn’t in script for NCAA title game

By ADAM H. BEASLEY

The Miami Herald

ARLINGTON, Texas — Julius Randle was wide awake. Couldn’t sleep.

Wired on adrenaline.

Kentucky’s powerful freshman forward had just survived another basketball near-death experience, and the juices were flowing.

Late Saturday night had given way to Sunday morning. One last day of film study, and practice was still hours away. A championship game showdown with Connecticut was set. And yet, rest wouldn’t come.

And so, Randle popped in a movie. Nonfiction.

He watched the ESPN documentary The Fab Five — the story of Michigan’s heralded recruiting class that turned college basketball on its ear.

On Monday night, Randle and his Kentucky teammates will have a chance to succeed where that Wolverines team failed. They can become the first allfreshmen starting lineup to win the NCAA championship.

“What they did was absolutely ridiculous, as far as the game, how they were

trend-setters and stuff they did,” Randle said. “You can use it as motivation.

Anybody wants to use something that’s never been done in the history of the game as motivation.

You can use it as motivation, but at the end of the day, we’re just focused on us.”

That type of poise and perspective is rare for anyone seven months shy of his 20th birthday. But it’s also the reason Randle and teammates Andrew and Aaron Harrison, James Young and Dakari Johnson are on the verge of basketball history.

They arrived together in Lexington, Ky., last fall as a group of talented yet uneven players. They entered the NCAA Tournament as a No. 8 seed and a very long shot to win it all.

But over the past month, they’ve become a team — one that just might be the best in the nation.

Since the tournament began, the Wildcats (2910) have won five games by a total of 18 points. The past two have both come down to a gutsy late threepointer by Aaron Harrison Please see TITLE, page 7A

Area golf NV falls PANORA — The Nodaway Valley boys golf team opened the season with a 164-191 loss here Thursday against a tough Panorama team at Lake Panorama National.

“It was a tough day at the course for Nodaway Valley,” head coach Steve Shantz said. “Conditions were not very good and facing one of the better teams we will see, we struggled on the course.

Panorama National is one of the tougher courses in the area and every club in your bag is needed. We have not had enough practice time to work on all clubs.”

Jackson Lamb led the W o l verines, shooting a nine-hole score of 43. Delson Grantham recorded a score of 47. Lamb Jordan Eng of Panorama took medalist honors with his score of 36.

“We did some good things, especially in the

short game, but the length of the course did us in,” Shantz said. “This was a great first meet. We really had an opportunity to see what are the things we have to work on in the future and we will continue to improve.”

Lake Panorama National Nodaway Valley (191) — Jackson Lamb 43, Delson Grantham 47, Wes Davis 50, Sam Marnin 51, Colton Garside 54.

SWV swept CLARINDA — The Southwest Valley golfers were swept by Clarinda here on Thursday, but showed flashes of potential.

“Our boys exceeded my expectations right out of the gate,” head coach Kent Bass said. “I see a lot of potential on many different levels. I think this is a great indication of what type of girls team we are going to have this year. When one girl struggles, we will be able to rely on someone else, no matter where they are in the lineup.”

The boys team fell 174194 to Clarinda and were led

by Evan Baldwin’s score of 40, which was just one off of runner-up honors.

ended up with a gravel road for a street rather than a paved street this past fall and had to rake ten buckets of gravel out of his yard this past Sunday due to the snow plows pushing it into the yards.

With Sonntag's calculations, the City would be able to pay off any bonding in eleven years, which includes the first two years of not collecting any TIF from the property. Sonntag is willing to build LMI housing offsite to help meet 28% of the 43% requirement by the Iowa Department of Economic Development. Tim Ostroski, SICOG, plans to go to the IDED and request a reduction from the 43% LMI requirement once he's gathered enough information.

Mr. Sonntag stated he is willing to close the gap between 28 and 38% for LMI, if the LMI ends up being the deal-breaker.

If all parties reach an agreement, Mr. Sonntag will then hold a couple of local meetings to answer any questions residents may have.

Mr. Ostroski warned Council that this is a very complicated project and because there are so many parts involved in this situation, it will be slow moving. He also warned that housing TIFs are always sus-

Twins take two-game streak into home opener

By PHIL MILLER Star Tribune

CLEVELAND — If you’re heading to Target Field for Opening Day on Monday, it’s probably not necessary to buy a program.

You know most of these guys already.

But that doesn’t mean you’ll see the Minnesota Twins team that everyone was expecting.

Minnesota completed its first week of the 2014 season Sunday with a 10-7 victory over the Indians, a game that illustrated the upsidedown persona that this team owns so far.

The batting order, widely projected as meek and unimposing, is relentless and opportunistic, as Justin Masterson learned by giving up six runs in just 3?? innings.

And who didn’t expect Chris Colabello to lead the American League in RBI, right? The starting pitching shows only faint signs of the Twins’ $84 million investment, with Ricky Nolasco’s ERA standing at 9.00 after “just a terrible day in general” in Progressive Field.

And the reliable, shut-down

bullpen has only shown up part of the time; Anthony Swarzak was torched for five hits among the nine hitters he face (though he was awarded the victory anyway), while four other REGULAR MEETING OF THE in relievers kept the Indians CRESTON CITY COUNCIL check.

During Public Forum, Gary Borcherding, 806 N. Poplar, has been a property owner and paid property taxes in Creston for 31 years.

His neighborhood ended up with a gravel road for a street rather than a paved street this past fall and had to rake ten buckets of gravel out of his yard this past Sunday due to the snow plows pushing it into the yards. He has an issue with (the City) letting the infrastructure fall apart and then spend money on that (Cottonwood Sub-division). He feels he and his neighbors deserve more than just a gravel road.

Henry Aaron’s No. 715 turns 40

Creston News Advertiser Monday, April 7, 2014

TITLE:

PANTHERS:

Continued from page 5A

— each from nearly the identical spot on the floor.

One last obstacle remains: seventh-seeded Connecticut (31-8), whose appearance in Monday’s final is nearly as unlikely.

This is a matchup of Cinderella powerhouses, if that makes sense. Each has won at least three national titles. But both were largely disappointments in the 2013-14 regular season, only to flourish in March and April.

Remarkably, the marquee programs have met just four times — and twice in one season (2010-11).

They last tangled in the Final Four that season, when the Huskies nipped the Wildcats 56-55 en route to the throne.

Shabazz Napier and N i e l s Giffey, now sen i o r s , w e r e freshmen on that UConn t e a m . Napier Randle and his fellow Kentucky starters, meanwhile, were sophomores in high school.

And unlike that Michigan group that lost in the title game in 1992 and ‘93, this will likely be the only shot this collection of Wildcats will get. The NBA beckons for several, Randle most notably.

Not everyone is a fan of Kentucky’s NBA prospectstaging-ground M.O., of course. Most specifically: the NCAA and much of its membership. NCAA presi-

dent Mark Emmert reiterated his opposition to the one-and-done philosophy Sunday.

Bob Bowlsby, the commissioner of the Big 12 Conference, took it a step further. He chastised the NFL and NBA for not creating a farm system like the one used by Major League Baseball. The basketball and football systems force teens into school who have little interest in being there. He went so far as to call those leagues “irresponsible.”

“My business, what I do, is to try to prepare young people for a future,” said Michael Drake, the incoming president at Ohio State. “We have a fouryear degree because we believe it takes that much time to mature and to get those life skills to go out and have the 60 years that follow college and to be able to be a contributing member and leader in your society and community.”

Of course, the era of elite players staying in school for four years is long gone — with rare exceptions.

Doug McDermott, this year’s Wooden Award winner as national player of the year, will graduate in May. McDermott was never a sure-fire lottery pick, however, and even after scoring the fifth-most points in college basketball history, he could fall out of the top 10.

Randle, meanwhile, has been a college student for roughly seven months — and is just a few more away from millions of guaranteed NBA dollars. Assum-

ing as all do that Randle goes pro (which c o u l d happen as soon as Randle Tuesday), it’s hard to see how he makes it past the fifth overall pick.

And so as long as the system is in place, Calipari seems intent on exploiting it. He coaches an astounding seven McDonald’s AllAmericans — with three more on the way. The Huskies, meanwhile, have none.

“We all play the game of basketball to compete against the best,” Napier said with a shrug. “This is one of them games.”

Added Huskies coach Kevin Ollie: “It’s not a fluke that we’re here.”

Referring to his team, he continued: “They’re made for more. They’re made for this championship game.”

And when asked how UConn would respond if the Huskies are in the same situation that Wisconsin was late Saturday — up by 2, but needing to get a stop with the ball in Aaron Harrison’s hands — Ollie didn’t flinch.

“Hopefully, it comes down to that,” he said, “and, hopefully, we get one more stop to win the game and to win a national championship.”

Sounds like something out of a movie.

Arnold noted that the only time the young Panthers have raced that early in the day would have been at the middle school state meet.

“It’s a good experience for them,” he said. “I was glad to have them to bring over.”

Callahan finished third in the open 800 meters, running 2:58.2. Beatty finished fifth in 200 meter dash, running 30.71.

“We didn’t have a lot of recovery time and we knew we weren’t, so OK times with that,” Arnold said.

The Panthers return to action Tuesday at Clarinda, where they are the two-time defending champions. Creston then travels to Red Oak on Thursday.

“Next week will be huge for us,” Arnold said.

“Weather should be better for us. We’re the two-time defending champs at Clarinda. I don’t know how we’re going to stack up team wise, but we’re going to see how many points we can score there. We’ll see Glenwood at both places, so some good competition. We’ll be able to get some things figured out before our home meet the next week.”

AARON: Continued from page 6A

held off in fear of hitting the man of the hour.

When Aaron arrived at home plate, he was greeted by a much more welcome trespasser. “My mother jumping the fence and coming onto the field and getting to home plate before I did — that was one of the highlights of my life,” Aaron said.

So riotous was the celebration that a naked woman cavorting in the upper deck hardly registered.

When security called the team’s director of public relations, Bob Hope, and asked him what to do about the streaker, he advised to do nothing so long as she had put on her clothes. No one had noticed her anyway.

That will be only one facet of 1974 not subject to re-creation Tuesday.

Having many of the sharp edges rounded out through the years, Aaron’s emotions certainly can’t be

duplicated. Relieved as he was 40 years ago — “I just thank God it’s all over,” were among Aaron’s first words after No. 715 — he is so much more thankful now.

“Being 80, you have to take every day like it’s a new day,” he said.

Any excuse for revelry is a good thing, be it Tuesday or beyond. “If I’m here when (the 41st anniversary) comes around, we may go out and celebrate for a little while. My wife and I may go out and have dinner or something like that.

We’ve celebrated this for a long time.”

Like any other classic, replaying Henry Aaron’s greatest hit should never get old or tired.

I was not panicked — but panicked.”

No reason yet to panic about the starting rotation, beefed up with multiyear contracts for Nolasco, Phil Hughes and Mike Pelfrey.

But only fifth starter Kyle Gibson earned a victory this week. Nolasco’s start was particularly rocky on Sunday, especially after the Twins chased Cleveland ace Justin Masterson with five runs over 3?? innings. He allowed a tworun homer to Yan Gomes in the second, and in the fourth, appeared to get out of a jam with a double-play grounder. But Mike Aviles barely beat the relay to first, an out that would have ended the inning, and Nolasco fell apart: walk, walk, bases-clearing double to Jason Kipnis, and another walk.

“I thought it was doing a good job battling for a while, but it just kind of got

away from me there,” Nolasco said. “Big league hitters will punish you when you put guys on.”

Overall, Gardenhire is pleased with how his team looks. Now he can’t wait to see them at home.

“We’ve got guys with track records. (Josh) Willingham, he was hurt the whole year (2013), we know he’s going to do (good) things. Dozier’s a better player now, (Aaron) Hicks is going to be a better player. Suzuki is a contact guy, Plouffe’s going to have a better year. We know (Josmil) Pinto can come off the bench and hit,” Gardenhire said. “We know we’ve got some pretty good things going here.”

Autism Awareness 5K/Disc Golf Tournament

CNA photos by KYLE WILSON

Off they go: Above left, Allison Bass of Corning waves at someone she knows just before finishing the second annual

Autism Awareness 5K run/walk held Sunday at the Southern Prairie YMCA. Bass — a special education teacher at Southwest Valley School District — won the 5K event in a time of 23:23. Above right, dozens of people release blue-colored balloons Sunday afternoon before the start of the second annual Autism Awareness 5K run/walk at the Southern Prairie YMCA. About 250 people participated in the event, raising about $1,000. That money will be donated to the Autism Society of Iowa to continue efforts to provide resources and funding to families of autism in the area. “This event was about raising awareness for autism and I think we accomplished that,” said Michelle Hicks, event organizer. “It also gave families affected by autism time to network with other families.” Right, Roy Crawford winds up before releasing his disc on basket No. 2 during the inaugural Autism Awareness disc golf tournament held Saturday at McKinley Park. Crawford — who organized the event — said more than $200 was raised and all money will be donated to Autism Society of Iowa. Pictured behind is Jim Street.
