Green Valley Lake is in the running to be part of the top 100 family fishing and boating spots across the nation according to a contest by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation (RBFF).

“Several of the lakes in the sweepstakes have undergone Carr extensive renovations lately,” Green Valley Park Ranger Alan Carr said. “There has been a lot of investment to bring the fishing back to where it should be. We have a good

population of several species and they are good size.”

Iowa locations include Lake Macbride (Solon), Lake Pahoja (west of Larchwood), Little River Watershed Lake (west of Leon) and Green Valley Lake.

“All the lakes they picked have similar qualities,” Carr said. “Because of past projects, we already had good accessibility with four boat ramps, handicap fishing piers and shoreline access.”

Voting for the nation’s top 100 family fishing and boating parks continues through April

12. To enter the sweepstakes and vote, visit www.takemefishing.org. Voters can select their top three picks, plus be automatically enrolled for a chance to win a trip to Disney World.

“The fact –that we have three lakes in close proximity (Three Mile, Twelve Mile and Green Valley) makes us one of the go-to places to fish in the state of Iowa,” Carr said.

“We attract a lot of people for quite a ways away who will come here to boat and fish.”

Trail extension Construction is scheduled

to pick back up this spring for the Green Valley Lake trail extension. Carr said about 3,000 feet of concrete was poured last fall.

“They are doing the hardest section to access first because it is the farthest away from the road,” Carr said. “Once they finish there, they will have more options to go off of the park roads for hauling rock and concrete.”

The trail extension will be about 18,000 feet total — close to three and a-half miles — and connect McKinley Park to the campgrounds at Green Valley Lake.

Carr is hopeful the project will be completed this construction season.

“It is all weather dependent,” Carr said. “We had anticipated to be done last fall, but we had a very wet August.”

After bomber’s conviction, jury to decide life or death BOSTON (AP) — Now that a jury has convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on all charges, even more is at stake in the next phase of the federal trial: The same 12 people must decide whether the 21-yearold lives or dies. Tsarnaev was found guilty Wednesday of 30

counts against him, including conspiracy and deadly use of a weapon of mass destruction.

Seventeen of those charges are punishable by death.

The verdict was considered practically a foregone conclusion since Tsarnaev’s lawyer admitted he participated in the bombings.

The former college student was found responsible for the deaths of three people who died in the bombings as well as the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer who was gunned down days later as Tsarnaev and his now-dead brother, Tamerlan, attempted to flee.

SPIRIT LAKE — A Dickinson County survey prompting all of Iowa’s county supervisors to anonymously respond toward updating the master matrix for swine facility construction is gaining momentum as the 30-day deadline approaches.

Union County has submitted a reply to the survey. Across the state, 34 out of 99 counties have responded to the survey that was sent out the week of March 23.

Dickinson County Supervisor Paul Johnson was the driving force behind designing the survey to gather opinions from supervisors across the state.

“We wanted to see how the other supervisors feel about it,” Johnson said. “Should the existing master matrix system be repaired to include more local control?”

Johnson said the survey responses will be kept anonymous so supervisors can respond truthfully without repercussions from local constituents who are for or against new or expanding swine facilities.

“Some counties do not meet every week, so we are expecting a few more responses to come in soon,” Johnson said. “We do not expect to get a response from all 99 counties.”

After the information is tabulated, Johnson said the results will be available for state legislators, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Natural Resources.

Master matrix

In addition to the people who were killed, more than 260 others were injured when twin pressure-cooker bombs packed with shrapnel exploded near the marathon’s finish line on April 15, 2013, turning

Under Iowa law, the counties must publish a public notice within 14 days of the Iowa DNR’s receipt of the swine facility construction application.

Then, supervisors must score the applicant’s master matrix and submit the board’s scoring and recommendation to the DNR no later than 30 days after the DNR received the application.

the traditionally celebratory home stretch of the world-famous race into a scene of carnage.

The defense lawyers, who barely cross-examined the prosecution’s witnesses during the first part of the trial, are expected to become much more aggressive during the penalty phase, when they will make a case that Tsarnaev’s life should be spared.

The defense gave a preview of its case during the trial when it insisted that the then 19-year-old Tsarnaev was strongly influenced by his radicalized older brother, who was said to have masterminded the attack.

Tsarnaev’s lawyers are expected to continue that theme, but also to explore the brothers’ relationship more deeply and perhaps bring in evidence about Tsarnaev’s life in Russia and the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan, where the family lived before moving to the U.S. about a decade before the bombings. The defense can present any mitigating evidence it believes will persuade the jury that life in prison is the appropriate punishment rather than death.

Legal analysts said they don’t expect the defense case to contain any new revelations about Tsarnaev.

“The crime is so horrific that they don’t have much else really to point to, other than his age and the influence of his older brother,” said Dan Collins, a former federal prosecutor who handled the case against a suspect in the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India.

“At this point, it’s going to be the life experiences and the perspectives of the jurors in deciding whether or not they believe that these points are strong enough that his life should be spared,” he said.

Meg Penrose, a death penalty expert and professor at Texas A&M University School of Law, said it will be difficult for the jury to overcome the image of Tsarnaev planting a bomb just feet behind a group of children,

5 years ago including 8-year-old Martin Richard, who was killed.

“I haven’t yet heard all the mitigating factors you’d expect to hear. In traditional death penalty cases, it’s physical abuse, sexual abuse, drug abuse, dropping out of school,” she said.

“In a crime of this magnitude, what American citizen wouldn’t ask, ‘What would drive a person to do this?’

And, as a juror, the question becomes, what answer would satisfy you?”

During the penalty phase, which could begin as early as Monday, prosecutors will provide evidence of aggravating factors they believe support the death penalty.

They’ve already listed several aggravating factors, including the killing of a child and the targeting of the marathon because of the potential for maximum bloodshed.

During the trial, prosecutors portrayed Tsarnaev and his brother — ethnic Chechens — as full partners in a plan to punish the U.S. for its wars in Muslim countries.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died when he was shot by police and run over by his brother during a chaotic getaway attempt days after the bombing.

Survivors described losing legs in the blasts or watching people die. Martin Richard’s father described making the agonizing decision to leave his mortally wounded son so he could get help for his 6-year-old daughter, whose leg had been blown off. Seventeen people lost limbs in the bombings.

“I think the existence of other victims is an important point the government will emphasize,” Collins said.

“One of the aggravating factors that exists under the statute is the grave risk of death to additional persons, and showing that this bombing did have a widespread effect on other individuals is going to be one of the things they are going to point to.”

The jury must agree unanimously for Tsarnaev to receive a death sentence; otherwise the penalty will be life behind bars.

University of Iowa to ban all tobacco on campus IOWA CITY (AP) — The University of Iowa is set become the first of the state’s three public universities to ban tobacco on its campus.

School officials announced Tuesday that expanding the smoke-free policy into a tobacco-free policy has been approved by the school’s president and her cabinet.

Smoking cigarettes on campus was banned in 2008, but not e-cigarettes and smokeless tobacco and nicotine products.

The Iowa City Press-Citi-

zen reports the new policy will apply to students, faculty, staff and visitors. It will also cover all buildings, vehicles and outdoor areas owned, leased or controlled by the university.

Last year, the university’s president created a group to gather information from various school bodies about whether they would prefer keeping the current policy or changing it in some way.

The new policy is scheduled to take effect Aug. 24, the first day of the school’s fall semester.

To receive a passing mark, the site must score a 440 on the master matrix.

The matrix score reflects how the site is managed to prevent manure spills and how far it is from other buildings. Applicants can also earn bonus points on

their matrix if they, for example, plant trees on the site.

“Citizens need to understand that the master matrix was created about 14 years ago,” Johnson said. “Many new findings have come out that were not incorporated into the initial design of the matrix.”

OPINION Tax time is upon us

Next Wednesday is April 15, otherwise known as tax day. If you don’t have your taxes done yet, you best get going on all the fun or else get your extension ready to go. I understand the tax returns are a little bit bigger this year than last.

The only bad thing is the government seems to keep spending more than it brings in. That’s not a good thing for all of us. Most people who wait until April 15 usually owe the government and are hanging onto their money until the last possible day. It’s the American way!

Planting The moist weather of late has slowed down the planting of this year’s crops. I know many in the

farming community would love to be in the field putting in this year’s crops. The moist weather will help the crops in the long run.

Barnstormers The tickets for the Iowa Barnstormers South Central Iowa night go on sale Friday. You can get tickets at the Creston News Advertiser office.

They are $10 each, which includes a tailgate before the game.

The game is scheduled for May 2 at the Wells Fargo Arena. This year we have dance groups from Creston, Afton and Lenox high schools.

Plus, a group of kids from St. Malachy school will be singing right before “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Don’t wait, we only have 300 tickets at this price. There is plenty of action and scoring in arena football.

It should be a fun night for all who attend. Plus, the price is right thanks to all the sponsors who make it possible. See the ad in today’s paper.

Glow Saturday night is the “Glow Run” here in Creston. It looks like there will be plenty of runners for

this year’s race. It’s good to see all the runners and walkers turn out for the event. The money goes for a great cause to fight cancer. The road race gets bigger each year.

The faster we can find a cure for cancer the better off humanity will be.

President Iowa still gets a good amount of publicity every time someone throws their hat in the ring for president. After they announce many of the presidential hopefuls, they head to Iowa to make an appearance. It is good to see we still “matter” on the national level.

Savannah I write this column while attending a national paper conference in

Savannah, Ga. I had a chance to do a little walking around the area the first day. There are lots of museums touting everything from pirates to the Civil War. The town is full of people who flew in to go attend The Masters golf tournament. I understand you can’t find a rental car anywhere in the area. It has one of the biggest airports near Augusta where the tournament is being played. The weather here is hot and humid with the temp approaching 90 degrees come Friday.

President Obama was reading a story to kids in the Rose Garden HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America and how’s everybody?

Mitt Romney topped the Huffington Post’s NCAA tournament bracket competition. Three weeks ago Mitt filled out his card and picked every team that made the Final Four as well as the winner, Duke. Mitt Romney just became the first Mormon in history to be banned from Las Vegas for counting.

President Obama was reading a story to kids in the Rose Garden at the Easter Egg Roll Monday when the kids started screaming as bees swarmed. He told them bees are good and won’t sting them and the kids calmed down. Then he said the same thing about Iran and the kids called child services on him.

Washington D.C. was hit by a power outage Tuesday that blacked out the electricity in the White House and State Department and the U.S. Capitol building. Everybody reacted instinctively. Out of habit, two dozen NFL players told police they didn’t kill the lights but they were there when it happened.

The New York Post reported that the sculptor who created a scary-looking statue of Lucille Ball for her hometown’s town square in upstate New York has agreed to replace it with a nice-looking one for free. Its all good. The scary one will be saved and re-used as the Bruce Jenner statue in Los Angeles.

The Masters gets started at Augusta National Thursday and all eyes are on Tiger Woods and his attempt to end his six-year win slump in majors. He’s determined to find a solution. If changing his swing doesn’t work he’s going back to the sex addiction clinic in Hattiesburg for the reversal procedure.

For the last thirty-nine years, Bill Clinton has identified himself on voter registration forms as married.

Senator John McCain announced in Arizona on Tuesday he will run for a sixth term in the U.S. Senate. Today re-enactors are staging the Confederate surrender at Appomattox one hundred fifty years ago. John McCain remembers to this day the disappointment he felt when Lee threw in the towel.

students whose first language is not English (7.4 percent), Hispanic students (2.2 percent), students with disabilities (3.6 percent) and students eligible for free and reduced price lunch (3.6 percent).

The statewide graduation rate is 90.5 percent, marking a four year trend. That’s an increase from 89.68 percent in 2013, 89.26 percent in 2012 and 88.32 percent in 2011.

New Census data released this week reveals Iowa’s population has increased by 2 percent, or about 60,000 since 2010. About a third of the increase came from international immigrants. Between 2010 and 2014, the state gained just over 21,000 residents from other countries and lost about 4,000 people through domestic migration-former Iowans leaving for other states. Data from the Department of Health showed that Iowa had only about 10,000 more births than deaths in 2013.

Dallas County was the 17th fastest growing county in the country, growing by 17 percent since the 2010 census. It added over 11,000 residents in just four years. The news is not as optimistic for Iowa’s rural areas, as most counties outside the state’s 21-county metropolitan areas lost population. This year’s growth marks 26 straight years of population growth in Iowa, which marks the state’s longest sustained growth period since 1900.

Emerald Ash Borer has been identified in the city of Clinton.

This is the 20th county in Iowa where the pest has been found. The insect is now confirmed in 20 of the 99 counties. The Department of Natural Resources thinks the spread of this insect has been facilitated by people moving firewood across state or county lines.

Pantyhose power!

Dear Readers: I asked you for uses for PANTYHOSE, and as usual, you came through! Pantyhose are strong and durable, so they are good for so many reuses. Some favorites from you: “I learned this when my daughters were in Girl Scouts: Cut off a leg of the pantyhose and put a bar of soap in the toe. Tie to a low branch, or hang where convenient.

Keep water nearby, and you have a hand-washing station.”

— Laura in Anaheim, Calif.

(Hey, Laura, I learned it in Girl Scouts too! — Heloise) “Cut ‘rings’ down the leg.

When stretched, these rings become rubber bands.” — Barb, via email “I read your column in the Staten Island (N.Y.) Advance.

I attach the foot and leg part of pantyhose to the hose from the washing machine to catch the lint, avoiding clogged drains. I use those drain strainers in all the drains in the house.” — Joni in Staten Island, N.Y. “Cut the pantyhose into pieces and use for stuffing toys.” — Lu in Anaheim, Calif.

“In the Abilene (Texas) Reporter-News, you asked about hints for pantyhose. My husband puts them over old paint cans to strain the paint.”

— Jan Bolin, Stamford, Texas “In the Army, we used old

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

Hints from Heloise pantyhose to buff our dress shoes after polishing them.”

— Dennis in San Antonio “Stuff catnip into old pantyhose. Sew up the opening and cats will LOVE IT!” — Grandma Lyla, Laguna Woods, Calif.

— Heloise TAKE A POWDER Dear Heloise: While pressing my favorite pants, I found a grease spot that hadn’t washed out. I sprinkled on some talcum powder and used a white cotton handkerchief over the spot, then pressed with a hot iron. It totally absorbed the grease and didn’t hurt my pants. — Delma K., Seneca, S.C. COMPANY’S COMING Dear Heloise: I read your column daily in the Orange County (Calif.) Register and enjoy the comments of other people.

We entertain frequently, and I always set the table a couple of days in advance — dishes, flatware, wineglasses, etc. To keep the dust off, I turn the plates upside down and put paper coffee filters

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

over the glasses.

It looks like the glasses have little hats on, and it is fun to enjoy until it is time to entertain. — Donna in Orange, Calif.

Donna, I do almost the same thing! But I just turn the glasses upside down. A few days sitting like this will not harm a wineglass. It’s nice to enjoy your pretty things, isn’t it? Love your paper, and such a beautiful place to live! — Heloise SLIPPER SAVER Dear Heloise: I have a pair of bedroom scuffs that I just slide my feet into. I couldn’t seem to keep them on.

I measured two pieces of elastic around the back of my heel to get the correct fit.

I stitched the elastics to the sides of each slipper. I hope this keeps someone from throwing away a good pair of BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker slippers. Thank you for all of your hints! — Fay N., Woodstock, Va. Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise@Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Take 10 minutes to declutter somewhere in your home. Why not get rid of five things out of your medicine cabinet? Do whatever you can to feel better organized where you live.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) This is a strong, playful, fun-loving day! Enjoy sports events, social occasions and fun activities with children.

It’s been a busy, hectic time lately!

YOU BORN TODAY You love what you do, and you love your independence. Because you have a strong sense of

yourself, you will follow through on your projects. This year is one of testing, growth and building. However, this growth will occur beneath the surface. Do not make major changes yet — wait until next year. Strengthen your financial position by reducing your overhead.

Real Estate Report I WANT … $

If you sell your home, can you convince buyers to pay you what it’s worth? How will you know what it’s worth? The price you paid plus improvements made probably isn’t right. Buyers assume that you’ve built in wiggle room and make a low offer. Will anyone pay full price? Buyers pay full price when it’s justified. You can get better offers if you will take the simple step and ask me to do a market analysis. If I price your home according to recent sales and listings, you will often get a full-price offer. I do market analysis for my buyers to make sure they get the best deal. Call or stop by my office. Let me put my knowledge to work for you.

reating a perfect outdoor oasis — the first step toward a summer filled with carefree entertaining — requires careful planning for the entire space. While the arrival of spring is the perfect time to start thinking about landscape elements, don’t overlook the finer details, such as the furniture and accessories, that truly bring an outdoor space to life.

Whether you’re looking to create a family-friendly space for entertaining, a serene poolside retreat or a secret garden that showcases your green thumb, begin by defining your vision. Having a clear idea of how your finished space will look and feel will help you make the best decisions as you begin designing the retreat of your dreams.

Furniture that fits

Once your beautiful outdoor space is complete, you’ll undoubtedly be eager to showcase your hard work. Make entertaining a breeze with these tips from the experts at Pier 1 Imports:

Accent your style Once your furniture is in place, you’ve got a blank slate to play with and most importantly, to accessorize! Accessorizing is where the decorating happens and your personal style shines through.

Add pillows, cushions, umbrellas, outdoor rugs and even outdoor curtains to your space, and what started as a dull patio will begin to transform into an extension of your home. To mix patterns like a pro, choose pillows and rugs in the same color family, vary the scale of your patterns and introduce textures to ensure that they don’t compete with each other.

Be sure to layer in treasures that are uniquely you — lanterns, wall decor, statues and windchimes — to establish a space bursting with personality.

Remember, small changes can make a big impact. Refresh last year’s patterns with the new trends, or simply add a few new accessories into your existing decor for a budget-friendly way to satisfy your urge to update.

Gifts of Summer ■

■

Everyone loves a good party game. Pier 1 Imports’ Horseshoe Game or Ladder Ball & Bean Bag Game are great hostess gift options.

If you’re attending a potluck, bring your famous dessert on a serving dish that you know the host will love and leave it behind so it can be enjoyed for parties to come.

Create a one-of-a-kind tablescape.

■

■

Highlight your party’s main attraction — the food.

■

Although tastes and trends may change from one season to the next, selecting the right furniture pieces from the start will let you bring fresh new looks to your outdoor space in other ways.

Sectional seating is an attractive option because it allows you to redefine your space in minutes. Hosting a party? Strategically placed sectional seating can open up your space and encourage an evening of mingling. Prefer a more intimate arrangement for poolside conversations or a date-night in? The sectional can be rearranged into a closer configuration.

Look for a versatile collection in neutral colors, such as Pier 1 Imports’ Echo Beach collection. This sectional can be arranged in more than 20 different ways, allowing you to arrange and rearrange to your heart’s content.

To round out your furniture, consider the highly functional but often underrated garden stool. Place one in a quiet corner for meditative moments, pair them to create a one-of-a-kind coffee table, or pull one up when you need an extra seat. As an added bonus, when cooler weather returns, you can pull your garden stool indoors for a sweet reminder of summer.

Investing in the right pieces will save you time and money in the long run. When you’re ready for a new look, you can easily change the feel of your patio with accessories or a new brightly colored accent piece, such as a tiled bistro table or outdoor Papasan chair.

If summer finds you doing more party-going than party-throwing, show your gratitude by bringing along a little something that recognizes all the work that goes into hosting a perfect party.

■ Think about items that can be used at the party, such as wine charms or a citronella candle with a lantern for a practical, yet fun gift.

Summer Entertaining

■

If you’re hosting the whole family for a cookout, make memories during a sit-down meal around your outdoor dining table. Freshen up the meal with dinnerware that’s as eye-catching as it is durable. Easy-care melamine and freshhued acrylic stemware pieces let your guests enjoy without fear of shattering glasses or the festive mood.

A less conventional approach that is perfect for drinks and small bites — serving carts. They bring action to the party, whether that’s on the patio, in the garden or poolside.

Combine your favorite accessories, such as handcrafted trays, detailed lanterns and a colorful bouquet, to create a cheerful centerpiece that instantly feels like summer.

Give your party buffet a personal touch with an eclectic mix of your favorite serving dishes. Think multi-use beverage tubs, cheery cake stands and bold chip and dip trays.

Think about the light, both day and night.

■

■

■

For a daytime pool party, protect guests from sunburn and the heat by investing in colorful umbrellas to provide a little shade — and the perfect place to sip a cold drink.

When the sun sets, opt for a more romantic glow that lights up the night. Strategically placed lanterns in a variety of styles, shapes and colors will be the light of your party.

For mood lighting at the touch of a button, Pier 1 Imports’ outdoor LED candles resemble their melted wax counterparts but offer a bit of added magic. They’re compatible with a remote control (sold separately) that allows you to set a timer with automatic shut-off.

Masters offers a major learning curve for most players

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

National Digest

Series evens CHICAGO — Jake Arrieta allowed three hits over seven inning and Starlin Castro had a go-ahead RBI single in a two-run seventh inning as the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0 on Wednesday afternoon.

Arrieta struck out seven and walked three. Phil Coke, Neil Ramierz, Pedro Strop and Hector Rondon combined for a hitless two innings as Rondon pitched a perfect ninth for his first save as a Cub. Lance Lynn struck out nine in six-plus innings, allowing both runs, one earned, on just two hits.

Castro’s single chased Lynn in the seventh and Miguel Montero added a sacrifice fly in the seventh off Kevin Siegrist.

The Cardinals stranded two in the first, third and sixth innings.

The series finishes with a 1-1 tie. The teams play again May 4-7 in St. Louis.

8th straight OKLAHOMA CITY — Kawhi Leonard is taking on more responsibility from San Antonio’s veteran core, and the Spurs are rolling.

The 23-year-old forward matched a career high with 26 points for the second straight game, and the Spurs defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 11388 on Tuesday night for their eighth straight victory.

Leonard is averaging 19.4 points per game and shooting 59 percent from the field during the win streak.

The Spurs have won each game during their streak by double digits and by an average of 20.9 points. The defending NBA champions have allowed 93 points or fewer in all eight contests.

Nicklaus ace AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Jack Nicklaus thrilled the crowd Wednesday at the annual Masters par-3 contest, making a hole-inone on the fourth hole.

The six-time Masters champion, playing in the exhibition at age 75, spun an iron shot back into the hole for the ace.

His ball bounced twice, then took a third hop before retreating into the hole. Nicklaus was congratulated by playing partners Ben Crenshaw and Gary Player.

Nicklaus acknowledged the ovation from the crowd, raising his arms in the air with a double fist-pump.

He says he may have called his own shot.

“It’s funny, I had an interview this morning and I said, `Well, all I’ve got to do is go out and win the Par-3 and make a hole-in-one,’ and I make a hole-inone,” Nicklaus said.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Tiger Woods was the exception. Ben Crenshaw was closer to the rule.

Woods joined up with Crenshaw to play the back nine Wednesday on the final day of practice for a Masters that is shaping up as a mystery in many ways.

They are Masters champions with multiple green jackets. What separates them is how soon they got them.

Crenshaw had to suffer a little before he could celebrate his first major. He was a runner-up four times in the majors, including a playoff loss to David Graham at the PGA Championship, before he broke through in 1984 at Augusta National. He won another one in 1995.

Woods wasted no time.

He won the first major he played as a pro by setting 20 records in his 1997 Masters victory, and that was only the start. He already had eight majors before he recorded his first runner-up finish. He had four green jackets before he turned 30.

More players have taken the Crenshaw route.

Hogan said after the round, “Don’t feel sorry for me. I played with a kid today who could have won this Open by 10 shots if he had known now.”

Nicklaus figured it out.

Also on that list is Rory McIlroy, who returns to the scene of his greatest lesson in a major.

He was a 21-year-old with a four-shot lead at the

Masters in 2011, ready to be crowned the next big thing in golf, when he shot 80 in the final round. He handled the collapse with remarkable poise, said he would learn from his mistakes. And then he posted scoring records at Congressional two months later in the U.S. Open.

“A lot of that win has to do with what happened at Augusta,” McIlroy said.

The Masters is even more meaningful now.

Timberwolves sixth at Spartan men win nine events, finish second overall Jerome Howe Relays

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor • jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

MOUNT VERNON — The Southwestern Community College men’s track team scored 150 points and just missed a team title here Saturday at the Cornell Invitational.

“The announcer originally said that we won the meet,” said SWCC head coach Bill Huntington said.

“But when we got the score sheets, we were second.

Coe College took the men’s team race with 155 points. Host Cornell College took third with 95 points and NIACC was fourth, scoring 90 points.

“When we look at it top to bottom, we won a lot of events,” Huntington said.

“That’s pretty impressive with the competition.”

Huntington said this is the closest the Spartan track team has come to a team title since its inception in 2013. He added winning a meet is a goal he wants the team to accomplish this season.

“This is the fourth meet this season we have finished second,” Huntington said. “We are right on the cusp ... we just have to continue to progress. The kids are excited and they are really starting to see their hard work pay off.”

The 100-meter dash final was dominated by Spartan sprinters, who swept the top five spots. Michael Flakes led the way, recording a 10.88.

He was closely followed

by Jaiden Flakes

Brown and Bobby Neal.

In the 4x100 relay, the Spartans took home bragging rights with the Spartan “A” squad winning the event and Spartan “B” squad in second. Brown, Justin Martin, Flakes and Theo Piniau made up the winning relay.

“That 4x100 relay was just a little bit off qualifying for the national championship meet,” Huntington said. “We just have to get the right combination down.”

Martin took the tape in the 200 meter dash, clocking a time of 22.54 seconds.

Anthony Simmons was third in 22.85 seconds.

Piniau continued his strong start to the outdoor season in the open 400 meter dash, winning the event in 49.75 seconds. Simmons was second in 50.22.

Brown and Piniau teamed up with Mount Ayr graduate Erik Freed and Simmons to win the 4x400 meter relay in 3:24.45.

Ben Friederichs pulled away from the field to win the 3,000 meter steeplechase in 10:34. He added an eighth place finish in the 5,000 meters, clocking a 17:03.

Seth Starks claimed two individual titles for the Spartans, running 16.54 seconds in the 110 m e t e r Starks high hurdles. He recorded a mark of 1.93 meters in the high jump for his second win.

Parrish McGhee’s leap of 12.31 meters in the triple jump was the top mark of the day. He also took sec-

ond place in the long jump at 5.94 meters.

For the Spartan women, Huntington said this was the first time they have been at full strength, picking up a couple of athletes from the SWCC women’s basketball team. Sa’Lisa Bruce had a strong showing in the 100 meter hurdles, placing sixth.

“It was nice to see Sa’Lisa be competitive,” Huntington said. “She isn’t in track shape quite yet.”

Huntington added freshman Rachel Flickinger had a strong performance in the 100 meters and 200 meters, qualifying for Flickinger the Jim Duncan Relays at Drake University in Des Moines Saturday.

Addilie Herman placed fourth in the high jump for the Spartans. She cleared 1.4 meters.

SWCC travels to Des Moines Friday and Saturday for the Jim Duncan Relays at Drake University.

“We just have to get the weather to cooperate,” Huntington said. “Once we get a warm day, we can really let the sprinters go and get a couple of events qualified for nationals.”

TREYNOR — The Southwest Valley boys track team showed off its strengths here Monday at the Jerome Howe Relays, finishing sixth in the team standings with 54 points.

Council Bluffs St. Albert won the team title with 78 points, followed by Nishnabotna with 68.5 points, Underwood with 64 and Shenandoah with 62. Host Treynor edged out Southwest Valley for fifth place by three points, while the Timberwolves finished one point ahead of West Harrison and one and a half points ahead of Fremont-Mills.

The Timberwolves swept the top two spots in a pair of events and took first in another on a cold, rainy night.

“There was some exceptional talent and very good teams at this meet,” Southwest Valley head coach Allen Naugle said. “I was very pleased with our overall finish, especially since we only scored in four events.”

The senior combination of Colten Drake and Scott Vanderhoof got the Timberwolves started off by finishing first and second in the Drake high jump.

Drake cleared 6-0, with Vanderhoof clearing 5-10.

Drake also ran on the winning shuttle hurdle relay team, which included Trevor Sorensen, Tyler Bissell and Tony Klocke.

That quartet ran 1:03.53 in the final heat, besting Treynor’s best time from the previous heat of 1:04.07.

Tony Klocke and Drake swept the top two spots in the 110 meter high hurdles, as Klocke ran 16.14 for first Klocke place and D r a k e crossed the line in 16.41.

The only other placing of the night for Southwest Valley came in the 400 meter hurdles as Sorensen finished second with his time of 59.17, edging out Treynor’s Brett Daley for second place.

Underwood’s Nick Pedersen won the event in 57.36.

“We definitely excelled in the hurdle events and high jump,” Naugle said. “We did a lot of nice things in other events, but had difficulties in the relays with our handoffs.

We had some younger guys running a lot of the relays and hopefully they gained some great experience and we can build off of last night.

I am definitely pleased with where we are at and look forward to seeing our progress Friday night in Clarinda.”

BOONE — Based on the positive comments that filled Todd Bogenschutz’s email and voicemail, Iowa pheasant hunters saw more birds last fall and after last winter’s below normal snowfall that good vibe should continue this season.

Bogenschutz, the upland wildlife biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, uses winter snowfall and spring rain totals along with historic trends to predict pheasant population swings. For five years in a row, heavy winter snow followed by cool wet springs sent Iowa pheasant numbers into a free fall bottoming out in 2011.

But after more favorable winter/nesting seasons, including most recently in back to back years, things are looking up for ringnecks.

“We had a good winter and should have had good pheasant and quail survival. Every region in the state was below normal for snowfall, except the east central region and it was only one-inch above normal so we should be poised for an increase in bird numbers as long as we have a good nesting season,” Bogenschutz said.

“It will be interesting to see the August roadside survey results.”

The two year reprieve to more normal winter snowfall is encouraging and there are steps landowners can take to help ensure the trend continues – plant shelterbelts and food plots.

Virtually all of Iowa’s winter mortality is attributed to persistent snows or blizzards with the birds dying of exposure, to predators or from the weather.

Well designed shelterbelts provide important cover and food plots an additional food source to help

pheasants, quail and other wildlife survive periods of prolonged or heavy snow.

A food plot associated with a shelterbelt likely improves survival because food plots provide additional winter habitat as well as food. Pheasants can get a meal quickly and limit their exposure to predators, maximizing their energy reserves. “If hens have good fat supplies coming out of the winter, they are more likely to nest successfully,” said Bogenschutz.

Planning shelterbelts and food plots for next winter should begin this spring and there are a few things landowners should keep in mind when designing these areas.

Corn provides the most reliable food source throughout the winter as it resists lodging in heavy snows. Sorghum or milo provides better winter habitat. Pheasants prefer to eat corn. Half-corn and half-sorghum plots make the best of both worlds.

Place food plots next to wetlands, CRP fields, or multi row shrub conifer shelterbelts that provide good winter habitat and away from deciduous trees that provide raptors with a place to sit.

The size of the food plot depends on where it is placed. If it’s next to good winter cover, the smaller the plot can be with two acres being the minimum.

If winter cover is marginal, like a road ditch, then the plots must be larger, in the 5-10 acre range, to provide cover as well as food.

MASTERS: Continued from page 8A

bad that hardly anyone recognized it.

Woods has shown much improvement in three days of practice, including the nine holes he p l a y e d Woods with Crenshaw and Jordan Spieth.

McIlroy and Woods, even at different ends of the spectrum, have dominated the talk so much this week that a large group of contenders have largely been ignored.

Bubba Watson is the defending champion and going for his third g r e e n jacket in four years.

A d a m Watson Scott is back to the long putter he used to win in 2013. Spieth and Jimmy Walker might be the hottest players on the PGA Tour — Walker is

the only player with two wins this season, Spieth has won, finished second and lost in a playoff his last three starts.

The question for Spieth is whether he already paid his major dues.

A year ago, he was on the verge at age 20 of becoming the youngest Masters champion when he had a two- Spieth shot lead with 11 holes to play. Two bogeys put behind going into the back nine, and he never caught up to Watson.

“How much value do I take out of losing? A lot,” Spieth said. “But I’m not one of those people who believe it was better for me not to win. I don’t think I would have handled it the wrong way. I don’t think Rory would have if he had won. He was saying he didn’t feel ready to close that out and found out what he was doing wrong.

“I take a lot out of what happened, but I don’t necessarily think it was better for me.”

Padraig Harrington is another major champion who lost before he could win.

“The best preparation for winning is contending,” Harrington said.

The Irishman made bogey on the final hole at the 2002 British Open that cost him a spot in the playoff at Muirfield. He finished with three straight bogeys at Winged Foot in 2006 and finished two shots behind in the U.S. Open. A year later, he won the first of his three majors, going backto-back at the end of 2008.

“You do need to be in that situation a couple of times to be comfortable,” Harrington said. “That’s not true for everyone. But for most players, you have to lose a few before you can win a few.”

Maybe that explains why no Masters rookie has won a green jacket since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979. Or why the Masters has the fewest number of first-time champions compared with the other three majors over the last 20 years.

McIlroy paid a steep price four years ago and found redemption in other majors right away. Still missing, however, is the green jacket.

Iowa hoping Canzeri, Daniels emerge as RBs

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

down by November as constant pounding and a lack of quickness caught up to him.

Canzeri, at just 5-foot-9 and 192 pounds, has averaged 5.3 yards per carry while battling a slew of injuries both major and minor. But Canzeri exploded for 120 yards in a 45-28 bowl game loss to Tennessee in January.

“He really hasn’t had a full year where he’s been healthy, and last year was certainly the case. But I think we got a glimpse of him in the bowl game,” White said.

Daniels, who is 6-foot and 225 pounds after dropp i n g s o m e weight so far this offseason, runs with a straighta h e a d Daniels style that seems well suited to Iowa’s offensive philosophy.

The Hawkeyes could use a breakout season out of Daniels in 2015.

Daniels had just 36 carries as a freshman stuck behind three backs in 2013. He played in just five games last season because of unspecified injuries.

Still, Daniels will have the opportunity to grab many of the carries that used to go to Weisman.

“We call LeShun ‘Big Boy.’ But he should be called ‘Little Big Boy’ now,” White said. “We wanted to cut his body bulk. He doesn’t look near-

ly as bulky, and you see it on the practice field. His movement and his pad level are markedly better.”

If injuries to Canzeri and Daniels continue to be an issue, the Hawkeyes would likely lean on two sophomores who’ve shown moments of promise.

Akrum Wadley capitalized on the playing time he received in Iowa’s blowout win over Northwestern, rushing for 106 yards on just 15 carries before quickly retreating back to the bench.

Derrick Mitchell Jr., also a sophomore next season, was so impressive emulating Gordon as a scout team player ahead of Iowa’s loss to the Badgers that he’s been converted from wide receiver to running back.

White said Mitchell is already pushing for playing time after just six spring practices.

Jonathan Parker, whose speed forced Iowa to find ways to get him playing time on sweeps and returns as a freshman, has taken Mitchell’s place with the wide receivers.

“I’m really excited about (Parker)...he accepted his role, just like Derrick Mitchell. Derrick Mitchell, I hated to lose him,” Iowa wide receivers coach Bobby Kennedy said. But “he did such a good job last year performing on the scout team that people said this guy might be a running back.” ___ Follow Luke Meredith on Twitter: www.twitter. com/LukeMeredithAP

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa’s reputation as a running team has been hampered by the fact that the Hawkeyes haven’t run the ball particularly well in recent years.

Iowa is hoping to get back to its roots in 2015 behind a senior holdover and a trio of intriguing but inexperienced backs.

Veteran Jordan Canzeri and seldom-used junior LeShun Daniels Jr. are atop the most recent depth chart for Iowa, which will mark the midway point of spring practice with a workout in West Des Moines on Saturday.

“I’d love to sit here and have (former Wisconsin star) Melvin Gordon run it 50 times a game for us. We don’t have that right now.

We’ll make the best. We have very talented running backs here,” Iowa running backs/special teams coach Chris White said.

In theory, having the bruising Daniels and the speedy Canzeri split carries would appear to be ideal for the Hawkeyes.

But staying healthy has been issue for both players.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

SPEED FREAKS

3 questions we had to ask — ourselves Have you ever bled your tires?

3

THINGS WE LEARNED DURING THE OFF-WEEK

NASCAR via Getty Images/SEAN GARDNER

Guess who still holds the record for top-10s to start a season?

Longest top-10 streak since ...

Morgan Shepherd?

GODSPEAK: No, but on those really cold winter mornings, my “low pressure” tire indicator shines bright.

KEN’S CALL: Not to gain speed or traction, and not on purpose. I’m a magnet for roofing nails.

Yep, that’s right, a Morgan Shepherd mention in the record book. Three drivers (Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano, Martin Truex) have started 2015 with six consecutive top-10s, which is impressive ... unless compared to Shepherd’s 11 consecutive top-10s to start the 1990 season. Younger fans might only know Morgan as the guy who keeps showing up occasionally with a race car well into his 70s, but between 1989 (when he was only 47) and 1995, he finished between fifth and 14th in the points. Once a latebloomer, now a perennial.

Did Ryan Newman’s penalty send a message?

GODSPEAK: No. Let’s see, he’s still got one win and he’s in the Chase. That’s all that really matters.

KEN’S CALL: Yes, and that message is: “Take your cheating ways to a different part of the car.”

‘T’ for Texas, and what else?

5 different winners so far; who’s next?

GODSPEAK: Give me Jeff Gordon, and somebody give him a rabbit’s foot.

KEN’S CALL: Matt Kenseth, who’s more overdue than California rain.

A lot of people go to Washington, D.C., for vacation, but not everyone gets invited to roll Easter eggs at the White House. Then again, not everyone is a four-time NASCAR champ.

1. Rolling eggs

2. All scattered

3. Dropping the hammer

NASCAR usually gets one White House photo op a year when the Sprint Cup champ shows up with one of his cars to get his picture taken with the president. Jeff Gordon and his kids (Ella, Leo) went to visit President Obama on Monday to participate in the 137th annual Easter Egg Roll.

Take that off the bucket list.

Stock-car folk took off in every direction during a rare weekend off. As noted, Gordon went to Washington, D.C., while others headed to the Caribbean looking for rest and relaxation. The next weekend off is scheduled for June 21, followed by back-to-back races in California (Sonoma) and Daytona. Yikes!

The Richard Childress Racing No. 31 Chevy team was penalized and fined for manipulating its supply of Goodyear tires in Fontana. Crew chief Luke Lambert was hit for a total of $125,000 and suspended for six weeks, pending appeal. Reminder — don’t mess with Texas or NASCAR. Ever.

‘T’ for Tires. As in another “emergency tire wall” fronting an inside retaining wall. In the ongoing wake of Kyle Busch’s Daytona wreck, Texas has added protective tire barriers on inside walls in advance of this week’s racing.

Is that the ultimate answer?

For inside walls, it’ll work. But tires aren’t as aesthetically pleasing as SAFER Barrier. The outside walls need a semi-solid, of course, which means the SAFER sales staff will keep humming as NASCAR’s tracks fill in the gaps. All of the gaps, if they’re smart.

FEUD OF THE WEEK

THINGS TO WATCH FOR AT TEXAS

1. Back in the saddle Kyle Larson missed Martinsville after fainting during an autograph session the day before the race.

The 22-year-old has been cleared to compete in the Duck Commander 500 on Saturday night.

TONY STEWART

TONY STEWART VS. MATT DIBENEDETTO: Stewart got angry at the rookie during a practice session at Martinsville when DiBenedetto cut in front of him. They had a heated exchange, with Stewart doing most of the talking.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: “DiBenedetto wisely went back to Stewart and explained himself after everybody had cooled off a bit. The rookie said, ‘It’s all over with now.’ ”

2. In lieu of ... ... the SAFER Barrier, Texas has installed 150 feet of tire barrier in three locations along its interior concrete retaining wall. Some 450 tires were used in constructing the barriers. Anything is better than unforgiving concrete.

3. Guard dogs NASCAR got a whiff of a stinky tire smell from the garage and found the No. 31 Chevy team had tire-tampered at Auto Club Speedway. NASCAR slapped the team with fines and penalties. Everybody will be on their best behavior this weekend.

Project AWARE INDEPENDENCE – Volunteers will have an opportunity this summer to spend their vacations cleaning up, learning about and exploring 65 miles of the Wapsipinicon River between Independence and Olin from July 11 to 16.

Project AWARE, which stands for A Watershed Awareness River Expedition, is the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ annual volunteer river cleanup event. In addition to muscling trash out of the river, participants learn about watersheds, water quality, recycling, and other natural resource topics. This year’s expedition marks AWARE’s 13th year.

“There are many positive benefits to Project AWARE,” said Aaron Batchelder with Linn County Conservation.

“Not only are we improving the environment, but we are connecting people with our natural resources.

We are excited and looking forward to being a part of this wonderful event this summer.”

Volunteers participate by paddling down the river in canoes and cleaning up river trash along the way.

Opportunities for landbased volunteers are also available. While the expedition lasts five days, volunteers may stay and help for as little or as long as they like. Project AWARE is family-friendly and provides the opportunity to experience a different river each year.

“Project AWARE

means a great deal to me because I see what it means to the communities that we impact all across Iowa and beyond,” said Nathan Lein, an Oelwein resident and nine-year Project AWARE veteran.

“The stretch we are doing makes perfect sense, both because of the amount of clean up necessary and because the Wapsipinicon is a very unique river for Iowa and it will be great to learn about this special place in Iowa.”

In addition to river cleanup, Project AWARE also offers a unique blend of educational programs and demonstrations, volunteer camaraderie, camping and other outdoor recreation opportunities that enrich the experience.

“Project AWARE’s volunteer cleanup of the Wapsipinicon River stands to not only benefit the ecosystem of the river, but also several northeast Iowa area communities, such as Independence, that profit in some form or matter from the Wapsipinicon,” said Al Roder, city manager for Independence.

Buchanan County Conservation will host a pre-Project AWARE river cleanup at Independence the morning of July 11, and those interested in continuing on down the river following Project AWARE can join the Lower Wapsipinicon River Cleanup Project, sponsored in part by Clinton County Conservation. For more information on these additional county-sponsored events, visit www.iowaprojectaware.com.

In the past 12 years, more than 3,200 AWARE volunteers from across the state have cleaned up 968 river miles, removing 305 tons of trash (74 percent of which has been recycled) from rivers all across Iowa.

For more information on this event and to download the registration materials, please visit www.iowaprojectaware.com.

More than 13,000 southern Iowans make us a part of their lives each weekday!

Court awards fees to Iowa governor’s brother after fish kill ■ Monroe “Monte”

Branstad is the prevailing party in his dispute with environmental officials who fined him for an illegal 2008 discharge that killed fish in the Winnebago River

IOWA CITY (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad’s brother is entitled to taxpayer-funded legal fees for successfully challenging the state’s calculation of how many fish were killed by pollution from his cattle-farming operation, an appeals court ruled Wednesday.

Monroe “Monte” Branstad is the prevailing party in his dispute with environmental officials who fined him for an illegal 2008 discharge that killed fish in the Winnebago River, the Iowa Court of Appeals ruled, overturning a lower court.

Branstad’s challenge “served the public good” by correcting an illegal and long-standing method the Iowa Department of Natural Resources used for counting fish kills, according to the unanimous three-judge panel, which included two Terry Branstad appointees.

DNR spokesman Kevin Baskins disputed the court’s

conclusion, saying the agency properly followed its counting procedures in the case and hasn’t changed them.

A judge is now expected to reimburse all or most of the $71,000 in fees that one of Branstad’s attorneys, James Pray, has requested. The judge should also consider an award to Branstad for legal fees incurred during the appeal, during which he was represented by Christine Branstad, the governor’s niece, the court ruled.

“Personally, I am relieved that Monte was heard and received a fair result. But professionally I’m happy that this case reinforces the access to justice that was granted by the Legislature,” Christine Branstad said.

She urged anyone who would accuse the court of favoritism to read the opinion.

The case stems from August 2008, when DNR officials received a report that numerous dead fish could be seen on the Winnebago River in northern Iowa.

Investigators found polluted waters and traced the source to Branstad’s farm in rural Forest City, which had 1,100 cattle in open lots and confinement.

Branstad admitted that sweet corn silage leachate, a pollutant, had inadvertently discharged from a containment basin and ended up in the river. In a 2010 consent

by DNR for the fish kill.

DNR officials estimated that 31,000 fish were killed along a 16-mile stretch of the river and ordered Branstad to pay $61,000 in restitution. An administrative law judge upheld the order, as did the Natural Resources Commission.

But a judge concluded the DNR erred because it did not follow American Fisheries Society guidelines for calculating the fish kill as required by administrative rule.

DNR officials had said its method was based on those guidelines and used biologists’ expertise to apply them to the circumstances of each case as they allow. After the ruling, DNR cut Branstad’s restitution order to $5,300, based on 2,233 dead fish that were actually counted.

Branstad sought reimbursement for attorneys’ fees, which can be awarded

to parties who prevail in state enforcement actions. District Judge Rustin Davenport denied the request, ruling that a reasonable person could agree with the DNR’s initial estimate even if it didn’t follow administrative rules.

Davenport, an appointee of former Gov. Chet Culver, added that the fees weren’t justified because “it cannot be seriously argued that these were the only fish killed as a result of the silage runoff.”

The appeals court overturned Davenport’s ruling, saying Branstad’s action forced the DNR to acknowledge mistakes.

“The future fish kills counts will be more accurate and follow more closely the methodology the agency has adopted,” wrote Judge Gayle Vogel, appointed by Branstad in 1996.

Baskins, the DNR spokesman, said the agency would calculate fish kills the same way it always has but provide more detailed documentation of “exactly what we did and why” on future assessments.
